- 0:45Speaker 1: as you listen attentively.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Amen.
- 0:51Speaker 3: So I'm just going to introduce our next series, well
- 0:58Speaker 3: much more.
- 0:59Speaker 2: I don't know why.
- 1:02Speaker 3: There's such a budding in my heart to rain declarations
- 1:07Speaker 3: over the house hold on I don't listen.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Please get me right.
- 1:13Speaker 3: I send strongly that apart from the fact that yes,
- 1:17Speaker 3: the church is breaking into a new season individually, actually
- 1:24Speaker 3: members of Light Nation on site and online with testimonies,
- 1:28Speaker 3: that makes no human sense. I'm I was ready for such,
- 1:35Speaker 3: So I just sense that, damn. Please sit them for
- 1:42Speaker 3: a while, sit them, and please I deal. Okay, I
- 1:54Speaker 3: will be first. Now tell your Bibles to first Interns,
- 2:02Speaker 3: chapter number three, First Corincerns, Chapter number three. Okay, we
- 2:14Speaker 3: can start reading from verse ten, First Corinthients three.
- 2:20Speaker 2: From verse ten, Please don't the Bible's day.
- 2:25Speaker 3: According to the grace of God which is given onto
- 2:29Speaker 3: me as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Some translation used the word cornerstones and said another builder thereupon,
- 2:50Speaker 3: Now let me show you that's the reader that seems
- 3:00Speaker 3: future first Coreniance Theory ten. We read message fround translation.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Using the gift God give me as a good architect,
- 3:18Speaker 3: I designed blueprints. Are you still seeing it? I designed blueprints.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Apollos is put in the wall. So we're not looking
- 3:30Speaker 3: at the subject of the new series foundations in respect
- 3:34Speaker 3: to foundation from father's house, foundational back to you know,
- 3:40Speaker 3: stuff like that. No, we're looking at the subject of
- 3:43Speaker 3: this foundation in respect to blueprints. That's the context, so
- 3:55Speaker 3: Paul said, because we want to redig around foundations so
- 4:02Speaker 3: that now God can be able to do what he
- 4:05Speaker 3: wants to do.
- 4:07Speaker 2: All right.
- 4:08Speaker 3: So one time, and I know there are builders here,
- 4:12Speaker 3: I had to do a project. And when I got
- 4:16Speaker 3: to the site that DPC has been done.
- 4:21Speaker 2: All right, So we had two options dig it out, or.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Find a way to work around it and bring it
- 4:35Speaker 3: to the blueprint of what you want to do.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Are you seeing that.
- 4:43Speaker 3: So even when you have grown old, works can still
- 4:48Speaker 3: be done around your foundation. Now there are people who
- 4:53Speaker 3: are tired, who are getting frustrated and saying things like,
- 4:56Speaker 3: you know what, I love, I want to serve him.
- 5:01Speaker 3: I'm seeing that some things are not right. I wish
- 5:04Speaker 3: I had someone. In fact, I've met people who have
- 5:07Speaker 3: said to me and I wish i'd met your opposed
- 5:10Speaker 3: to you know, some ten years ago, some five years ago,
- 5:14Speaker 3: some this and that. But the truth of the matter
- 5:16Speaker 3: is that if you had met me ten years ago,
- 5:18Speaker 3: this is not a version of me you would have met.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Your life went exactly the way it needed to go.
- 5:27Speaker 2: All right.
- 5:28Speaker 3: That doesn't mean you are exactly where you want to
- 5:30Speaker 3: be or you should be, But there are lessons that
- 5:33Speaker 3: are important so you can appreciate wisdom. Is that okay? Now,
- 5:38Speaker 3: So you don't sit down morning in the past and say,
- 5:40Speaker 3: you know what, I wish I had the privilege. I
- 5:42Speaker 3: wish I've known someone like appost to years ago. I
- 5:45Speaker 3: wish Hey, well, I imagine, so Paul said, I have
- 5:50Speaker 3: laid were the foundation.
- 5:53Speaker 2: But there are others who come to build.
- 5:55Speaker 3: But they said, lets everyone take it, be careful, pay
- 5:58Speaker 3: attention to how the building.
- 6:01Speaker 2: All right.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Look at what the Bible says in Psalms eleven verse three,
- 6:06Speaker 3: Psalms Chapter of by eleven, verse three. That's a very
- 6:10Speaker 3: powerful scripture. Psalms eleven, verse three. If you're there, say hey, man,
- 6:17Speaker 3: can we all echoate together? One two three, go one
- 6:26Speaker 3: more time. If the foundations be destroyed or out of place,
- 6:40Speaker 3: even those who are righteous can't do anything about it.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Look at what Good News transation says, there is nothing
- 6:52Speaker 3: a good person can do when everything falls apart.
- 6:57Speaker 2: That's so powerful. Let me show you.
- 7:03Speaker 3: NLT translation says, the foundations of law and order have collapsed.
- 7:09Speaker 2: What can the righteous do?
- 7:13Speaker 3: So sometimes our lives so far, the consequences the defect
- 7:26Speaker 3: that is established as a result of wrong foundation.
- 7:34Speaker 2: And please look up everybody.
- 7:36Speaker 3: And I want to beg that you, particularly those of
- 7:40Speaker 3: us who already parents. One of the children, one of
- 7:46Speaker 3: our children came to me, the boys should be about
- 7:50Speaker 3: seven or six, and it said a push, why did
- 7:57Speaker 3: the government destroy our church?
- 8:01Speaker 2: Ah? I said, come follow me.
- 8:07Speaker 3: I have to sit him down. Let's talk. There is
- 8:12Speaker 3: a difference between church and auditorium. Auditorium can be destroyed.
- 8:19Speaker 2: You and I.
- 8:19Speaker 3: At the church, you see that they are thinking, they
- 8:26Speaker 3: are asking questions, they are wondering, they.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Have they have questions, they are checked.
- 8:36Speaker 3: See my ex My joy this morning is not for you.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Your own foundation is fixed. You want to dig. My
- 8:43Speaker 3: joy this morning is that those younger lads can come
- 8:46Speaker 3: to church and say God can be trusted. That's why
- 8:54Speaker 3: if you want to help your children get their foundations right,
- 8:57Speaker 3: they don't have to know everything about yours, else it
- 9:02Speaker 3: will alter their perception about life. They step into life
- 9:07Speaker 3: reactionarily start expecting and anticipating pain. So the season to
- 9:15Speaker 3: lay foundation requires lots of carefulness. When you lay foundation,
- 9:23Speaker 3: you don't lay foundation based on just what you have,
- 9:26Speaker 3: but based on where the future is going. So unfortunately,
- 9:32Speaker 3: many of us who were exposed to people the first
- 9:37Speaker 3: messages you started hearing, the first teachers, the first speakers.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Permit me to say, the first church.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Maybe because of human biases and sometimes even family, some
- 9:55Speaker 3: things can be altered about a person's life because of
- 10:00Speaker 3: that exposure that it may take time in life for
- 10:04Speaker 3: them to be corrected. You see, I grew up in
- 10:09Speaker 3: a family that is very religious, very religious, and I
- 10:19Speaker 3: married my wife also from a family that is extremely religious.
- 10:25Speaker 3: So almost grew up like that. Maybe it took your
- 10:28Speaker 3: time to know that. Wait, when Paul was talking about
- 10:34Speaker 3: covering the heads in the Book of Corinthians, it was
- 10:37Speaker 3: not referring to heir tie. Look, maybe someone is your
- 10:41Speaker 3: siring there for the first time.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Now when.
- 10:46Speaker 3: After the lady's can holder, we're talking about wo mentioned
- 10:49Speaker 3: know where what patins with man?
- 10:51Speaker 2: So I was talking about trousers, what patends?
- 10:58Speaker 3: And it was given that law in respect to women's
- 11:01Speaker 3: monthly flow. And according to the law in the Old Testament,
- 11:04Speaker 3: once a woman is having the mont monthly flow, she
- 11:07Speaker 3: is considered unclean and it's kept outside the church. And
- 11:11Speaker 3: he says that a man should not wait. So it
- 11:14Speaker 3: took you time. When did you start adjusting? So we
- 11:18Speaker 3: probably even broke up with a girl because the girl
- 11:21Speaker 3: will not wear a tie. And now you have grown,
- 11:24Speaker 3: you found the world? Are you discovered that you were
- 11:27Speaker 3: very foolish.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Because the person you have not married to and that.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry, so foundation is so important, the blue plate
- 11:45Speaker 3: of our lives, our rooted and established. We are in
- 11:50Speaker 3: the world, and we're going to be checking all that
- 11:56Speaker 3: in this season. Your foundation in the world of God,
- 11:59Speaker 3: you're doctrinal foundation, what you think about, what the Bible says,
- 12:05Speaker 3: what you're established on. There are Christians who still believe
- 12:14Speaker 3: that when you have dreams and you see yourself eating
- 12:18Speaker 3: in the dream, ah, they have come.
- 12:20Speaker 2: How can I.
- 12:21Speaker 3: See myself eating in the dream? After all you goes experience,
- 12:24Speaker 3: I didn't pray enough. Meanwhile, in the Bible, every time
- 12:27Speaker 3: they hit in the dream was for strength. Are you
- 12:33Speaker 3: aware that your dreams are not as powerful as your
- 12:37Speaker 3: interpretations of them?
- 12:43Speaker 2: Oh?
- 12:43Speaker 3: Yes, my wife is there when she shares with me
- 12:46Speaker 3: and said I heard a dream. First question, what's your interpretation?
- 12:51Speaker 3: What am I checking the doctrine? Second question, what's your
- 12:55Speaker 3: perception when you woke up? Are you aware it doesn't
- 12:58Speaker 3: matter how bad the dream is. Your level of revelation
- 13:01Speaker 3: can cancel it. That are some things you saw there?
- 13:07Speaker 3: You actually saw them? No, no, it's a fact you
- 13:11Speaker 3: actually saw them.
- 13:12Speaker 2: But they are waiting for your own level of revelation.
- 13:16Speaker 2: So now no whether you should be afflicted or not.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Listen, if one of the children and the children church
- 13:27Speaker 3: comes now outside, now all of us watching and the
- 13:31Speaker 3: guy your steps.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Out, ten year old eight ye old boy with kin, I.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Said, opposed to follow me? Now, ah, the boy said,
- 13:41Speaker 3: I post to Are you not familis? I said, follow me?
- 13:46Speaker 3: Why is there eating? I will flog you today, Hey boy,
- 13:51Speaker 3: go for me because all right, but see if announs
- 13:57Speaker 3: saying protocol, protocol, protocol, after they have attended to me,
- 14:04Speaker 3: they need to take me to a psychiatric for evaluation.
- 14:11Speaker 3: When you call God to fight the battles as empowered
- 14:14Speaker 3: to fight, you don't know the word.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And when you call him to re establish the victory
- 14:21Speaker 2: already gave you, you don't know the word.
- 14:24Speaker 3: There are times you only have to flip out the
- 14:26Speaker 3: receipt price is paid because your foundation was gott in.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Right.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, and I stand before God
- 14:37Speaker 3: and man, I will tell you this. Because people are
- 14:39Speaker 3: saying that opposed you have strength to regoliz, I said,
- 14:41Speaker 3: I didn't know. I didn't know it's called strength. But listen,
- 14:44Speaker 3: I just believe that our priority was intact. The asset
- 14:47Speaker 3: of this charge from the one has never been things.
- 14:52Speaker 2: If that foundation is.
- 14:53Speaker 3: Not gotten, right, you will be devastated once you build
- 14:57Speaker 3: you or open things.
- 14:58Speaker 2: All right, I feel I'm saying now.
- 14:59Speaker 3: People say, ah, you see, maybe if you are dating
- 15:02Speaker 3: a guide that as the finance you've ever dated, you
- 15:06Speaker 3: feel like a queen because of the guy, and get
- 15:09Speaker 3: their bear.
- 15:12Speaker 2: And he wears calf time all Captain will do in
- 15:15Speaker 2: this life. So that now gives you a sense of identity.
- 15:23Speaker 3: And usually God sees all those things that Isaac should
- 15:27Speaker 3: not be what makes you feel blessed.
- 15:28Speaker 2: It should be good.
- 15:29Speaker 3: When Isaac is what makes you feel blessed, Isaac will
- 15:32Speaker 3: take you out of God. You will have to sacrifice
- 15:34Speaker 3: Isaac to find God. But when you sacrifice Isaac, Isaac's
- 15:37Speaker 3: don't die, They become nations. Are you following what I'm
- 15:42Speaker 3: saying here? So in this season we are going to
- 15:46Speaker 3: be redigging around our foundations and certain things that you
- 15:53Speaker 3: have said they are too late. I are right, maybe
- 15:56Speaker 3: already I'm sixty. I was speaking to one of our
- 15:58Speaker 3: members in a bad church. She just did I think
- 16:03Speaker 3: sixtieth birthday, And she said to me one time I
- 16:09Speaker 3: was speaking with her and she said, apposed to I've
- 16:14Speaker 3: spent sixty years of my life not fulfilling my purpose
- 16:19Speaker 3: because I married a man who will not allow me
- 16:21Speaker 3: do that. Now I am sixty and most part of
- 16:25Speaker 3: my life is gone.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Do you think they're still for me?
- 16:29Speaker 3: I said, if Moses was here now you're a teenager,
- 16:31Speaker 3: he began at eighty.
- 16:34Speaker 2: So let's get back on the track.
- 16:36Speaker 3: There is no level in life that the man's foundation
- 16:38Speaker 3: cannot be talked around. Many of you sure the testimony?
- 16:43Speaker 3: May I read it testimony doing what Oligo's experienced. That
- 16:47Speaker 3: woman who were seen on the screen is seven till
- 16:49Speaker 3: be eighty in two years. Those of us who are
- 16:55Speaker 3: in all the prayer platforms, you will know how the
- 16:57Speaker 3: mentorship she doesn't miss classes. What the devil wants you
- 17:03Speaker 3: to do is to look at your life and conclude
- 17:05Speaker 3: that certain things are too late. If what I'm saying there,
- 17:09Speaker 3: it is not composed ve for you to look like
- 17:12Speaker 3: the house you came from. See people pick themselves up
- 17:17Speaker 3: and repolish themselves.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Are you feel what I'm saying? You see, Listen, you
- 17:23Speaker 2: don't have to look like it.
- 17:29Speaker 3: I'm let to tell someone this morning that what the
- 17:31Speaker 3: devil is doing, fighting on all sides, is that he
- 17:33Speaker 3: wants to break your momentum. Sometimes it is the things
- 17:39Speaker 3: that you set in reading in patterns that the devil
- 17:41Speaker 3: knows that does what keeps you fresh. If it can
- 17:43Speaker 3: break it for a week, you may not come back
- 17:45Speaker 3: in five years. One of the most important battles you
- 17:50Speaker 3: fight is the battle to keep the momentum that this
- 17:53Speaker 3: will not win for set systems in place.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Are you feel what I'm saying there? Now?
- 17:57Speaker 3: I want to show you that scripture in another light,
- 18:04Speaker 3: that first coor in terms three and these time in
- 18:11Speaker 3: another light. If you're there saying, men, now, what's Paul saying? Contextually?
- 18:27Speaker 3: He said, according to the grace of God, which is
- 18:29Speaker 3: given on to me as a wise do you want
- 18:31Speaker 3: they say, whise master builder? Now please pay attention and
- 18:36Speaker 3: I what I want to say is so important. Anywhere
- 18:42Speaker 3: anything that will last must be built, there must be wisdom.
- 18:49Speaker 3: So one of the very important characteristics of the Apostolic
- 18:55Speaker 3: ministry is wisdom, because that wisdom.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Is needed to establish people.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Look how the Bible says in Proverbs twenty four. Proverbs
- 19:06Speaker 3: twenty four started reading from verse three, Am I correct
- 19:09Speaker 3: Proverbs twenty four from verse three. Yeah, let's read this
- 19:12Speaker 3: to get one too. Three go thrue wisdom. It's a
- 19:15Speaker 3: house builded and by understanding it is established.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Yes, verse four.
- 19:20Speaker 3: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all
- 19:23Speaker 3: pressures and pleasant reaches. Yes, a wise man is strong.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Yea a man of knowledge increases. Now true wisdom. You
- 19:33Speaker 3: want to build, you want to have a life as
- 19:37Speaker 3: without the approach.
- 19:38Speaker 2: It requires wisdom.
- 19:41Speaker 3: You want to stand strong, It requires wisdom. In systematic
- 19:46Speaker 3: theology class in School of Ministry, I tell the students
- 19:53Speaker 3: that theology, apart from the study of what it is,
- 20:01Speaker 3: is you comparing the language of the Church with the
- 20:06Speaker 3: language of the Bible.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Now, let me tell you what I mean. There are
- 20:14Speaker 2: things we say innocently but erroneously.
- 20:21Speaker 3: That they may look good, but no problem must meet
- 20:25Speaker 3: you in that condition because you don't have a doctrinal
- 20:29Speaker 3: framework to help you out.
- 20:32Speaker 2: The duty of the church list is what I'm saying again.
- 20:38Speaker 3: The duty of the church is that every believer is built.
- 20:43Speaker 2: And I want to say this.
- 20:44Speaker 3: I believe that the Body of Christ in Nigeria must
- 20:47Speaker 3: declare war on doctrinal matters.
- 20:50Speaker 2: No bodies.
- 20:50Speaker 3: You just claimed the author and said this is a
- 20:52Speaker 3: personal revelation. No scripture is a private interpretation. People's lives
- 20:57Speaker 3: have been molested, holmest broken because they are people that
- 21:01Speaker 3: they trust with their lives who are bad builders. How
- 21:04Speaker 3: can a man of God walk up to man and
- 21:05Speaker 3: tell the man that the reason why you are poor
- 21:07Speaker 3: is because your wife is not compatible to you.
- 21:09Speaker 2: If you get another woman's doors will open. That's a
- 21:11Speaker 2: bad doctrine.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Sometimes you are missed that you see the most ridiculous
- 21:18Speaker 3: things happening, and people are sitting there you wondering what's
- 21:21Speaker 3: going on? Why because they are not taught. And every
- 21:25Speaker 3: false teacher and false prophet needs you not to know
- 21:27Speaker 3: the word of God. Because the day you know it
- 21:29Speaker 3: is that you are free. It is indeed true that
- 21:31Speaker 3: when you know the truth, it made you free.
- 21:33Speaker 2: It is true, it.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Sets you free from manipulations.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Listen to what I'm saying. We're not just see O.
- 21:39Speaker 2: We are teaching. We are walking the toppo.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Listen, though, I know last week some day, if I
- 21:45Speaker 3: stood here and I said to you, those of you
- 21:48Speaker 3: who are to give fifty million, come out. I know
- 21:51Speaker 3: many of you who come out. So if you want
- 21:53Speaker 3: to give twenty million, come out, I know you come out.
- 21:55Speaker 2: So just tell me. I know you come up. I see.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Let me tell you I will never for one Christian
- 22:01Speaker 3: whish there was not eating to say ah, God, all
- 22:07Speaker 3: this that day would not come. Listen to what I'm
- 22:11Speaker 3: telling you. Many times preachers have been forced to be
- 22:15Speaker 3: under certain pressure because that is the kind of people
- 22:18Speaker 3: we are.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Many of us do.
- 22:21Speaker 3: Better around manipolatos because you are using yourselves. It's too
- 22:28Speaker 3: well now, it's too benefits. And manipolatos know too. The
- 22:35Speaker 3: antidotes to bondage in life is the knowledge of God's word,
- 22:40Speaker 3: that you know what the Bible says about your life.
- 22:44Speaker 3: You know what the Bible says about your health, You
- 22:47Speaker 3: know what the Bible says and see none just know it.
- 22:50Speaker 3: It becomes part of your life. If becomes the very
- 22:54Speaker 3: face that drives you, it moves you everywhere that someone
- 22:58Speaker 3: can see you on perfect side that it's based on
- 23:00Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Now, you are going to die, except you quickly, you
- 23:04Speaker 2: quickly give me.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Now one thousand dollars, because if you give me a God.
- 23:11Speaker 2: There's a thief.
- 23:14Speaker 3: The fellows stalking can it can't account for the bread
- 23:17Speaker 3: in his own those feels.
- 23:24Speaker 2: And many have been manipulator.
- 23:25Speaker 3: And it will amaze you that someone can be in church,
- 23:29Speaker 3: same man to the payers in church. All the money
- 23:32Speaker 3: payers say, listen is what I'm saying, it is not
- 23:34Speaker 3: revival if the church is still bagally. It is not
- 23:38Speaker 3: filling the church with people who want solutions that make
- 23:40Speaker 3: it vibal. It is filling the church with those who
- 23:43Speaker 3: are solutions and still have reasons to be in church.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Are you following what I'm saying? Hey, because you never
- 23:52Speaker 3: can't tell the things you are capable of. H someone
- 24:02Speaker 3: just calls you this morning. All right, I said that
- 24:08Speaker 3: there's this money, we can will take it one billion dollars.
- 24:17Speaker 3: You know that are some things that is better. I'm
- 24:20Speaker 3: beyond just being there even where you are looking at
- 24:25Speaker 3: on the table now, on the table, on the table
- 24:27Speaker 3: one billion dollars. Ah, that is that all this opposed
- 24:33Speaker 3: is a going to teach yourself. I'm not sure ipose yourself.
- 24:38Speaker 3: I have been faced with so let you know, say, man, Jos,
- 24:42Speaker 3: do this one. I will go and be ahead the
- 24:44Speaker 3: project in George, don't be a bad project. Now about
- 24:50Speaker 3: your stomach, let me tell you this. My fear is
- 24:59Speaker 3: the foundation of an average believer. Now may not be
- 25:02Speaker 3: able to test and carry what is coming will be
- 25:07Speaker 3: tested on all sides. There will be temptations, there will
- 25:11Speaker 3: be there will be issues, and.
- 25:16Speaker 2: You don't go sit down forming victim. It goes sound
- 25:20Speaker 2: like me.
- 25:21Speaker 3: You can't be a victim.
- 25:24Speaker 2: You can't be a victim. You know. It's just that
- 25:28Speaker 2: they gonna hit me. They got once.
- 25:32Speaker 3: People see you in that mold. See they will not
- 25:34Speaker 3: pick you up, They will tram pull on you. So
- 25:42Speaker 3: we have to dig around our structures. So we can't
- 25:48Speaker 3: be able to stand the test of time. Are you
- 25:51Speaker 3: fooling what I'm saying here? So we can't be able
- 25:53Speaker 3: to stand the test of time in our place of work,
- 25:57Speaker 3: in a different callings, in our home, in our families.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Let me show you this scripture.
- 26:03Speaker 3: All right, as I turn our bibles, let's see to
- 26:06Speaker 3: get our first John, chapter number one, First John. If
- 26:16Speaker 3: you're there, say, hey man, we started reading from verse
- 26:22Speaker 3: one now while I was growing up, which is a
- 26:29Speaker 3: partner I've been pursuing. And we're going to have to
- 26:35Speaker 3: introduce to you many structures weepose.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Achieved things we're doing.
- 26:46Speaker 3: And I like to appeal to you know, our pastors
- 26:51Speaker 3: to create more room for children. Programs, the special numbers,
- 27:00Speaker 3: their Bible recitation, their Bible sort whatever I will call
- 27:05Speaker 3: all those things. They go a long way. Many of
- 27:11Speaker 3: us still remember manuscriptures. Now that you're memorized as a child.
- 27:18Speaker 3: All right, we don't do that so that we'll not
- 27:21Speaker 3: have the children's church somewhere that you are playing cocomelon
- 27:24Speaker 3: on Sunday. Money, give them the world they can eat it.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Let them memorize with the Bible, sing with it. Something
- 27:35Speaker 3: might be here now that even to save your own life,
- 27:38Speaker 3: you can't call John things say say, say, say the
- 27:43Speaker 3: Bible says in which book the Book of mccannachey.
- 27:51Speaker 2: You love to but you know, but that won't be you.
- 27:58Speaker 2: So the foundation must be got in right.
- 28:01Speaker 3: I had the privilege at some point to do some
- 28:07Speaker 3: competition by the Society of Nigeria.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Oh the stuff you have to memorize the Book of Daniel.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Memorize the book.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Hold us up, hey, they are forming superstructures around your foundation.
- 28:20Speaker 3: And you were truly grateful for what immersion that did something.
- 28:27Speaker 3: And I'm telling you you will not be tired of me.
- 28:29Speaker 2: I will not be tired of you before this year ends.
- 28:33Speaker 2: We see, listen, we need to have.
- 28:37Speaker 3: Around the subject of eternal life. Let's learn about that
- 28:42Speaker 3: life we need to have. We have it digging because
- 28:48Speaker 3: there's no time. We need to value every time we
- 28:50Speaker 3: have to hit the world, to hit the world, to swallow,
- 28:55Speaker 3: to hit the world.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Are you still there till you fall in love with
- 29:02Speaker 2: the Bible.
- 29:02Speaker 3: See, there's nothing sweeter out there than being in crist
- 29:06Speaker 3: There's nothing. Oh boy, I'm telling you. Those who went
- 29:10Speaker 3: to a club overnight, see now see on their bed.
- 29:14Speaker 3: Sometimes we wake up smelling like pigs. I'm telling me,
- 29:19Speaker 3: drank different kind of concussion, different kind of things they mix.
- 29:23Speaker 3: This one is blue, this one is purple, this one
- 29:25Speaker 3: is and you have missed. Their lever is giving up.
- 29:30Speaker 3: But God will build them back home. I used to
- 29:35Speaker 3: have a ministry. My first ministry is not Michael's helping drunkards.
- 29:40Speaker 2: That's my first ministry. Yes, we will gather.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Ourselves every night our area and Canno add plenty drunkards
- 29:49Speaker 3: that get drunk.
- 29:51Speaker 2: So they come. We gathered them.
- 29:53Speaker 3: We help them clean up, tie their phones around their waists,
- 29:57Speaker 3: put them on bike, get their location and other So
- 30:00Speaker 3: we noticed that they used to come back. After we
- 30:02Speaker 3: have done all that, they will see come back. So
- 30:04Speaker 3: a demile, you're back again. So we now see. And
- 30:07Speaker 3: I'm telling we went to pray Father. We want to help,
- 30:12Speaker 3: but it's not working. One of our friends now said
- 30:16Speaker 3: that he perceived that the way to help them will
- 30:23Speaker 3: be too. It's not me, but I did what he perceived.
- 30:30Speaker 3: He said is that we need to give them something
- 30:32Speaker 3: not to forget. I said, like what he said, like slap.
- 30:43Speaker 3: So we sat down, we talked about it, thought about it,
- 30:46Speaker 3: and finally concluded that it's true.
- 30:53Speaker 2: God has forgiving us.
- 30:56Speaker 3: When we see them coming, we tied the phone the
- 31:01Speaker 3: wallet like we used to, then set the face Father.
- 31:05Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, you will not come back.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Two Why.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Listen, no one to go slap twice. This screet was
- 31:19Speaker 3: swept clean. And that's my friend, he asked Moses. Oh yeah, yes, yes,
- 31:26Speaker 3: So when he lands, he's like he slapped over the
- 31:29Speaker 3: end of Satan spark the face.
- 31:32Speaker 2: But that was what we knew. That was what we
- 31:35Speaker 2: knew to do. Imagine if we stayed there now by
- 31:38Speaker 2: now being crecky, that was what we knew. But that
- 31:41Speaker 2: doesn't mean that's where God is.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Look at this scripture first John one one, that which
- 31:49Speaker 3: was from the beginning speaking about the world now which
- 31:52Speaker 3: we have heard, which we have similed, our eyes which
- 31:53Speaker 3: we have looked upon, and our answer have handled of
- 31:56Speaker 3: the world of life. You don't have a revelation until
- 32:03Speaker 3: it is what you can never doubt. That is, even
- 32:10Speaker 3: if a doctor now says that this is a sickness
- 32:13Speaker 3: and this is the number of dates you have left,
- 32:16Speaker 3: you don't have revelation about life until you can't doubt that.
- 32:22Speaker 3: And let me say this to you. We're gonna do
- 32:25Speaker 3: We're gonna discuss this all right. It's gonna be private
- 32:29Speaker 3: for light nation. Listen, they don't listen. Don't live your
- 32:36Speaker 3: life to be at the messy of modern the medicine.
- 32:42Speaker 2: Yeah, there are things I will tell you that people
- 32:44Speaker 2: will not be able to tell you.
- 32:46Speaker 3: Some drugs out there will kill you while it is
- 32:49Speaker 3: ill in you. So you we are in those days
- 32:53Speaker 3: that people need to You have no choice not to
- 32:56Speaker 3: know the world and confessing it and swallow it every day,
- 33:03Speaker 3: not out of fear, not out of fear, but because
- 33:08Speaker 3: you know this is what powers our lives. This is
- 33:12Speaker 3: the very essence of our lives. We must go back
- 33:15Speaker 3: to getting that foundation right till no one can walk
- 33:20Speaker 3: to you as yes and a badly. Can you imagine that?
- 33:27Speaker 2: Can you imagine that? Till certain things are struggling with
- 33:34Speaker 2: is no longer.
- 33:35Speaker 3: There's no fraction of possibility for it in your life
- 33:38Speaker 3: because you are established. Because you are established, you found
- 33:41Speaker 3: the world. Your foundation has been laid. When the foundation
- 33:44Speaker 3: is laid, it is laid. When the salmon said, my
- 33:48Speaker 3: heart is fixed, my heart is fixed, hold on, I'll
- 33:50Speaker 3: give you praise.
- 33:51Speaker 2: That's foundation.
- 33:52Speaker 3: There what it says that my heart is concrete like
- 33:54Speaker 3: it's meant clean up your child in the way shoul go,
- 33:58Speaker 3: and it grew in averther peratform it.
- 33:59Speaker 2: That's foundation that you can know. There are things I
- 34:04Speaker 2: find very strange.
- 34:04Speaker 3: People have the opportent to travel out of the country
- 34:06Speaker 3: where you can America, Australia, and you'll be amassed at
- 34:11Speaker 3: those who are fireful will start looking like a shadow
- 34:15Speaker 3: of themselves. Now they're exposed to a new environment and
- 34:18Speaker 3: they are doing string things. Why because there was never
- 34:21Speaker 3: any foundation. They were looking sane because they were needy.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Need can make a personal them.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Or look humble.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Don't live your Christian life like that. Don't do your
- 34:40Speaker 3: Christian life like that. Be established. Seek God not for
- 34:46Speaker 3: what you can get, for fellowship, for fellowship, for intemis,
- 34:54Speaker 3: for this and for that. You'll be amassed to see
- 35:01Speaker 3: how sweet that is? It plays to save God. Mammiselah Mike,
- 35:07Speaker 3: who was saying been in and begging your preaching, said
- 35:10Speaker 3: please leave old don't die. I'm begging you to don't die.
- 35:15Speaker 3: And she said, you know, old age, you're sweet because
- 35:18Speaker 3: everybody you can do many things and go away with it.
- 35:22Speaker 2: It's true. But I told them something.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Old age is sweet when a man gets it right.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Old age becomes bitter when your mistakes are maturing with
- 35:43Speaker 3: your age. That's why now you must get it right.
- 35:51Speaker 3: You are around the girl. Thank God for make up,
- 35:55Speaker 3: thank God for beauty, thank God.
- 35:57Speaker 2: For figure it. But what's your foundation like? Or do
- 36:00Speaker 2: you know? Because that foundation will raise my kids? Yes, yes,
- 36:05Speaker 2: what's it like? What was it like?
- 36:09Speaker 3: So we have to know what you're exposed to? Who's
- 36:11Speaker 3: your pastor? What's the world you're eating?
- 36:13Speaker 2: You don't know? That's a deal breaker. Who's your pastor?
- 36:18Speaker 2: Don't marry that? Who's your pastor?
- 36:21Speaker 3: Our foundational belt are like I show you don't what
- 36:23Speaker 3: the mass The word professor you over a Baker is
- 36:26Speaker 3: that your seedy possess the gate of your of their enemies.
- 36:28Speaker 2: The water professor over Isaac is that your civil posess
- 36:31Speaker 2: gate of the enemies.
- 36:32Speaker 3: That time is going should not mean you should marry
- 36:34Speaker 3: some contradt dictory professis.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Don't do that.
- 36:42Speaker 3: So that your union will not be one alive, one
- 36:45Speaker 3: will be trying. Somebody needs to die for the marriage
- 36:48Speaker 3: to work. That's not the will of God. Now that
- 36:53Speaker 3: you're single, get it right, you too that want to
- 36:56Speaker 3: check on someone's foundation, Have a foundation established, Have a foundation.
- 37:07Speaker 3: My second daughter is just one year close. You still her?
- 37:11Speaker 3: Pray for this person? She lays her hands because that's
- 37:14Speaker 3: what she sees those do. That's what she sees us do.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Will lay her hands, speak words? Speak words, all right?
- 37:20Speaker 3: Or sometimes you are missed. Go to some school, see
- 37:22Speaker 3: children they kind of dance there. Does you wonder what
- 37:25Speaker 3: were they exposed to this deck? These these steps? A
- 37:29Speaker 3: child of a child, it has all this tweaking.
- 37:34Speaker 2: Do you know what that means?
- 37:35Speaker 3: All?
- 37:35Speaker 2: You're gonna pretend? What was that? What striking? Less than it?
- 37:46Speaker 3: You be amissed? Where have they seen it? Who is
- 37:50Speaker 3: laying the foundation? Where's the mom? Where's the dad? Are
- 37:57Speaker 3: you conscious of the gifts God has giving those children?
- 38:00Speaker 3: Are you aware that of those who are carrying when
- 38:02Speaker 3: they have two eyes and don't have one. Are you
- 38:06Speaker 3: aware that the Bible says, as rows are in the
- 38:09Speaker 3: hands of a mighty man, so is the man that
- 38:11Speaker 3: has them in his quiver. Whenever the opportunity comes to
- 38:19Speaker 3: stay with and preaching. The only way to show I
- 38:21Speaker 3: respect you is that I prepare. I can't come at
- 38:26Speaker 3: and just flo out any robbish. My God, why if
- 38:30Speaker 3: it is an opportunity to help, Look at the number
- 38:34Speaker 3: of people get their foundations right. We must go back.
- 38:39Speaker 3: We must go back to the world, not spiritism. I
- 38:43Speaker 3: said the word, not a spooky supernatural realities. I didn't
- 38:48Speaker 3: hear amen to that. Beware one of the warnings that
- 38:58Speaker 3: Jesus gave us in the last days, it's beware of
- 39:01Speaker 3: false profect And I will tell you this, beware of witchcraft,
- 39:08Speaker 3: not those flying at night, but manipolatos.
- 39:12Speaker 2: No, you must still clear.
- 39:15Speaker 3: That's why you must know the word of God and
- 39:19Speaker 3: study the Bible.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Let me say this to you.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Those of us who are parents will believe that those
- 39:31Speaker 3: children will be too tired for a Bible study.
- 39:33Speaker 2: It's a foundation you're laying. Listen.
- 39:37Speaker 3: No, I'm saying this emphatically. They are not too tired
- 39:40Speaker 3: to what will come alone after service, after school.
- 39:44Speaker 2: It's a foundation.
- 39:46Speaker 3: Those of you who believe that those children you see
- 39:48Speaker 3: coming to Torchy in the evenings far will work online.
- 39:50Speaker 2: It's a foundation you are.
- 39:55Speaker 3: You cannot plant carsaver and be angry that you ripped
- 39:59Speaker 3: it too, or expect strawberry. You can't listen. Getting it
- 40:05Speaker 3: right is sacrifice. And I can tell you as a leader,
- 40:11Speaker 3: the most powerful aspect of leadership is by example, not
- 40:14Speaker 3: the message.
- 40:16Speaker 2: And I can be here.
- 40:18Speaker 3: And tell you about how to be encouraged or when
- 40:21Speaker 3: you see me a work through tribulation and not broken.
- 40:23Speaker 3: You can't tell that.
- 40:24Speaker 2: No, no, no, there's not just about the message. It is life.
- 40:28Speaker 3: The most powerful thing you can do as parents is
- 40:30Speaker 3: not just what you tell them.
- 40:31Speaker 2: The beating. Many of the.
- 40:33Speaker 3: Beatings are because we failed. We put the frustrations on
- 40:39Speaker 3: them because we failed. But if you will lead by example,
- 40:43Speaker 3: no cousse word in this house, is no cosseword in
- 40:46Speaker 3: this house. But you are the one as mother that
- 40:49Speaker 3: when something is happening, what the earth? Or you are
- 40:53Speaker 3: not saying that, Or you give them movies where they
- 40:55Speaker 3: say that. Many will not even screen what they watch.
- 41:00Speaker 2: You will not check. You don't even care. Many of
- 41:02Speaker 2: you are not even aware that screen.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Time makes them predisposed to symptoms of Down syndrome.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Many don't even know that begins to change. You don't
- 41:13Speaker 2: even know. I fleged your minds.
- 41:17Speaker 3: That the TV in the house is doing the training
- 41:19Speaker 3: for many parents. You getting the foundation wrong. Just put
- 41:24Speaker 3: them in TV in front and then will they'll they
- 41:27Speaker 3: enjoy themselves. I'll come back and carry them later. Are
- 41:30Speaker 3: you are won't doing strange? Spirit is finding its way
- 41:32Speaker 3: into their hearts. From that age. They are being nightmares,
- 41:37Speaker 3: seeing strength things, strength beams, what I want to buible
- 41:40Speaker 3: based cartoons. What you don't have you can't give if
- 41:48Speaker 3: you want to erase kings, be a king.
- 41:52Speaker 2: All right. So for the remaining part of this month,
- 41:57Speaker 2: we're weir.
- 41:59Speaker 3: B it digging around our foundation doctrinally as individuals, we
- 42:06Speaker 3: will and those of you who have been trusting, I
- 42:09Speaker 3: said God, I wish I can, I wish I knew
- 42:11Speaker 3: this earlier.
- 42:12Speaker 2: See this is the time.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Don't tell your wife you go to Bible study and
- 42:16Speaker 3: let me tell you this. Many of you women, all right,
- 42:21Speaker 3: are you here? Joe even look chart the big gay man.
- 42:27Speaker 2: All right?
- 42:29Speaker 3: I will tell you this formula you don't want problem
- 42:32Speaker 3: in the family, but you are still the one who
- 42:35Speaker 3: will not insists that we're in charge to lend us
- 42:38Speaker 3: work together.
- 42:41Speaker 2: It's bad. Where do you think sanity will come from.
- 42:48Speaker 2: It's the world.
- 42:50Speaker 3: It is the world that watches us clean, and a
- 42:54Speaker 3: lot of things happens to us as we sit on
- 42:56Speaker 3: that in the world.
- 42:57Speaker 2: It's not a cliche. It's not the talk. We have
- 42:59Speaker 2: been changed. We are being changed.
- 43:07Speaker 3: Many of us are dealing with the problems we created
- 43:10Speaker 3: with our own mouth. Maybe before now you and your
- 43:14Speaker 3: spouse will sit together and tear you're men of God. Okay,
- 43:17Speaker 3: now you have a problem. It doesn't need to anybody
- 43:21Speaker 3: who did it. Don't say Jesus you did it. Many
- 43:27Speaker 3: of us one things we can't sacrifice for.
- 43:30Speaker 2: It's amazing. It doesn't work. It doesn't work.
- 43:36Speaker 3: I want my children to know God, but show them
- 43:38Speaker 3: the way of the Lord. Show them by example.
- 43:40Speaker 2: Prayer. Do you pray? As far as what do you do?
- 43:46Speaker 2: You pressure your phone one until night.
- 43:49Speaker 3: Food is gonna be one of the leading costs of
- 43:51Speaker 3: divorce in the next five years.
- 43:54Speaker 2: Many with their cold wound.
- 44:04Speaker 3: You can't hit your cake and have it.
- 44:07Speaker 2: So we have to get it right. We have to
- 44:10Speaker 2: make sacrifice.
- 44:11Speaker 3: The foundations must be correct, all right. I pray that
- 44:18Speaker 3: the Lord himself will open our eyes of understanding. Then
- 44:24Speaker 3: much more it will give you, and I'm praying this
- 44:27Speaker 3: for my heart. It will give you the grace to
- 44:31Speaker 3: be the kind of fathers we should be, and then
- 44:35Speaker 3: loud enough, and the kind of mothers we should be.
- 44:40Speaker 3: I know many of you are fighting, hiating battles. Never
- 44:44Speaker 3: want to repeat patterns, never want to make mistakes of
- 44:46Speaker 3: those who.
- 44:47Speaker 2: You will win.
- 44:49Speaker 3: All right, you will win, you see, you will not
- 44:53Speaker 3: fail in the name of Jesus.
- 44:55Speaker 2: You will win. If you are here. Maybe your dad died,
- 44:58Speaker 2: he really left your mo to take you of your
- 45:00Speaker 2: your mom died, and all that you will not be
- 45:02Speaker 2: cleared out of the way. See listen, listen. I know.
- 45:08Speaker 2: I know what it means to struggle.
- 45:11Speaker 3: I know what it is true, be face to face
- 45:14Speaker 3: with the realities that will make you lock the door
- 45:16Speaker 3: and cry and say God, I will not repeat patterns.
- 45:20Speaker 2: I know, And that's what I'm praying. The grace of
- 45:23Speaker 2: God that keeps men.
- 45:24Speaker 3: The Bible's Jude said on to him, that is able
- 45:27Speaker 3: to keep you from falling, and present you spotless. The
- 45:30Speaker 3: grace that keeps men from falling rest upon you.
- 45:33Speaker 2: Now, those who are hear.
- 45:35Speaker 3: Whose homes are going bad, almost beyond repair. The Lord
- 45:39Speaker 3: who made the heavens and the Head, will keep you
- 45:41Speaker 3: in perfect peace. Whatever is going down in that family
- 45:45Speaker 3: is revived. Those of you are singles whose prayer is Lord.
- 45:52Speaker 3: By the time I finally say I do, I don't
- 45:54Speaker 3: want it to build an enemy of your.
- 45:56Speaker 2: Purpose for my life. The Lord will come true for you.
