  Thank you. Very happy to be here.

  Amazing. Let's give them a Big God bless

  Hallelujah, Bishop, Thank you so much, you and your dear wife.

  I appreciate the graciousness. I appreciate everyone.

  And to the fathers in the land, I truly honor you.
• 0:58
  I appreciate every single one of you.

  May not know you by name, but I honor you deeply and I honor you
• 1:04
  sincerely. And for every man and woman of
• 1:09
  God here represented everyone worthy of honor.
• 1:13
  We honor you very deeply in the name of Jesus.
• 1:16
  God has granted us the privilege.
• 1:19
  Oh, by the way, let's celebrate. That is my first time listening
• 1:23
  to him. I've sang his song, but it's an
• 1:25
  incredible, what's his name again?
• 1:27
  Emoji, please. Incredible, incredible.
• 1:31
  God bless you, Hallelujah. I was, I was so blessed just
• 1:36
  hearing him lead worship and I knew that this was someone who
• 1:40
  truly loved the Lord, truly loved the Lord.
• 1:43
  May God bless you. Hallelujah.
• 1:47
  We're here tonight to experience the glory, the grace, the power
• 1:52
  of God. And I want you to know that
• 1:55
  there are no limits when God decides to visit His people.
• 2:00
  And so let's open up our heart and receive that which can
• 2:04
  upgrade our lives. If you are ready, lift your
• 2:07
  hands passionately to heaven and ask the Lord for an encounter.
• 2:11
  Go ahead, passionately ask the Lord for an encounter.
• 2:20
  The Bible says He sent forth His Word, His Word.
• 2:24
  He let them and delivered them from all their destruction.
• 2:29
  Someone is praying. Shabalako sabra de belleca
• 2:44
  paratusieta chatelena caparato siata.
• 2:49
  Take me to another level in the Spirit, another level in power,
• 2:54
  another level of wisdom, another level of grace, another level of
• 2:58
  fire. Someone is praying.
• 3:01
  A man of God is desperately praying.
• 3:03
  A businessman is praying, someone who desires to
• 3:08
  experience God at another level is free.
• 3:12
  The Bible says for everyone that asketh receiveth few more
• 3:25
  seconds, you're crying to the God of heaven.
• 3:29
  Give me an encounter, a destiny defining encounter, for in Jesus
• 3:41
  name we pray. We look to Yahweh, Yahweh.
• 3:52
  Our hope is Yahweh, Yahweh. Yes, we look to Yahweh, Yahweh
• 4:06
  forever. Yahweh, Yahweh, we look to
• 4:15
  Yahweh, Yahweh. My hope is Yahweh Yahweh.
• 4:27
  We look to Yahweh, Yahweh forever.
• 4:41
  Spirit of the living God, we pray that you will help us
• 4:44
  tonight. We're gathered tonight to be
• 4:46
  changed. We're gathered tonight to be
• 4:48
  transformed. I pray in the name of Jesus that
• 4:52
  your word will come with power. Let it liberate, let it
• 4:56
  transform, Let it empower. And to Jesus be all the glory.
• 5:01
  For in Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 5:04
  Amen. God bless you.
• 5:05
  Please be seated. Please be seated.
• 5:08
  Please be seated. Am I clear enough?
• 5:12
  Can you hear me? Those outside, can you hear me
• 5:17
  OK? God bless you.
• 5:18
  I need to know that you're hearing me.
• 5:21
  I have profound respect for the Word of God because I have, by
• 5:29
  the message of God, learned the value of the Word of God as far
• 5:37
  as a man's becoming is concerned.
• 5:39
  As far as a man's transformation is concerned, God's method has
• 5:45
  always and will always be the Word of God.
• 5:50
  God's method to lift is through His Word.
• 5:53
  God's method to bless is through His Word.
• 5:57
  God's method to heal, to deliver, to empower, to set free
• 6:01
  is through His Word. And every time you receive the
• 6:04
  Word of God, you also receive every blessing that comes with
• 6:09
  the Word. Every time you reject the Word,
• 6:12
  you also reject the blessings that come with the Word.
• 6:16
  Hallelujah. There are benefits to receiving
• 6:19
  the Word, the Word as a person and the Word as the thinking of
• 6:25
  God. The Bible says bless the Lord, O
• 6:28
  my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
• 6:31
  Then he says, Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and forget not his
• 6:37
  benefits. There are benefits.
• 6:39
  Who forgiven thy iniquity, Who heal your your diseases?
• 6:43
  Who delivers your soul from destruction, crowns you with
• 6:46
  loving kindness and tender mercies.
• 6:49
  Who satisfies you with good things so that you are renewed
• 6:52
  like the ego? There are benefits to receiving
• 6:57
  the Word, and I'm praying for you that every benefit connected
• 7:01
  to the prophetic word you are about to hear, may it rest upon
• 7:05
  your life. That what you will receive
• 7:07
  tonight will not just be an information.
• 7:10
  What you will receive tonight will not just be intelligent
• 7:13
  communication, but that you will receive the Spirit and the life
• 7:17
  that comes with the Word. If we're together, shout out
• 7:19
  loud. Amen.
• 7:22
  I'm teaching tonight on a series that will span to our final
• 7:26
  session tomorrow in light with your team.
• 7:29
  The path of the just. The path of the just Proverbs,
• 7:35
  chapter 4 and verse 18. The path of the just tonight
• 7:41
  through this teaching, you'll be receiving words that will
• 7:44
  transform you. You'll be receiving instructions
• 7:47
  in righteousness that if and when adhered to will upgrade
• 7:52
  your life. Evidently.
• 7:54
  May that be your portion in Jesus name.
• 7:57
  Let's read together. Can you see it projected?
• 8:00
  All right, one to go. But the path of the just is as
• 8:05
  the shining light. That shining more and more onto
• 8:10
  the perfect day one more time. But the path of the just is as
• 8:16
  the shining light that shine it more and more onto the perfect
• 8:22
  day. That means in God's mind, no
• 8:28
  believer should ever have a better yesterday.
• 8:31
  Are we together now? God has so designed that when
• 8:35
  you are in Christ and when you walk with Him, every day should
• 8:39
  be a higher experience, a higher experience of exploits, a higher
• 8:45
  experience of greatness, a higher experience of
• 8:48
  transformation. Rising up today and going down
• 8:52
  tomorrow is inconsistent with God's will.
• 8:55
  It's inconsistent with God's desire for the believer.
• 9:00
  The Bible very clearly here tells us that the path of the
• 9:03
  just, not the path of every man, the path of the just is as a a
• 9:08
  shining light that shined more and more brighter and brighter
• 9:13
  onto the perfect day. So advancement is God's desire
• 9:18
  for everyone. Incremental greatness is God's
• 9:22
  desire for everyone that it should never be based on God's
• 9:27
  thinking and based on God's expectation that you have to
• 9:31
  look back into yesterday simply because your tomorrow is pale
• 9:35
  and frail in glory. The glory that God has invested
• 9:40
  upon the believer is the glory that excels.
• 9:43
  Did you hear what I just said? That the glory that God has
• 9:46
  invested upon the believer is the glory that excels.
• 9:51
  That means God expects increase at advancement, progress in
• 9:56
  every aspect of your life. I'm reminded of Exodus chapter
• 10:00
  14 and verse 15. This is a nation of Israel
• 10:03
  standing before the Red Sea, and the Bible says Moses went to the
• 10:10
  Lord and was crying because now he was in limbo.
• 10:13
  He was confused. They were stagnated, the Red Sea
• 10:17
  was before them, and Pharaoh and his armies were behind them to
• 10:21
  get them back into slavery. And hear what the Lord said unto
• 10:25
  Moses. Wherefore criers thou unto me
• 10:29
  speak to the children of Israel that they go forward.
• 10:35
  That means in God's mind, not the Red Sea nor any obstacle
• 10:40
  should stop the believer from making advancement.
• 10:42
  And let me prophecy to someone already in the name of Jesus,
• 10:46
  the Son of the living God, I speak to you.
• 10:48
  Go forward, go forward. I'm only speaking to a receiver.
• 10:54
  Go forward, go forward in ministry, go forward in destiny
• 10:59
  in the name of Jesus. The Bible says by you I can run
• 11:05
  through a troop. He says by my God I can leap
• 11:09
  over a wall. Can you imagine that Moses is
• 11:14
  going to God as a responsible leader?
• 11:18
  You're leading over 2.5 million people and there is a Red Sea
• 11:22
  before you. There is an angry army before
• 11:25
  you, and God acts as if he does not see the obstacles.
• 11:29
  He said tell the people that they go forward.
• 11:33
  Tell them. That they go forward in spite of
• 11:36
  the economic situation. Tell them that they go forward
• 11:40
  in spite of the presence of demons and curses and yokes.
• 11:44
  Tell them that they go forward in spite of limitations around
• 11:48
  ministry in Ghana. Tell them that they go forward.
• 11:51
  That means in God's mind, there is no excuse whatsoever for
• 11:57
  stagnation. Are we together, there is no
• 12:02
  excuse whatsoever tell the people that they go forward
• 12:09
  because a path of the just whether that just is a man of
• 12:14
  God, a businessman, a student, an individual, a family person.
• 12:20
  The Bible says in your divine ordination, your path should
• 12:24
  always be glorious. Every attack on your destiny
• 12:30
  that wants to ensure that you don't go forward.
• 12:33
  Every attack that wants to make 2023 better than 2024, in the
• 12:38
  name of Jesus, I declare Those obstacles give way now.
• 12:43
  Those obstacles give way now. Those obstacles give way now.
• 12:49
  Please be seated. Tell the people that they go
• 12:54
  forward. Someone prophesied to yourself,
• 12:56
  say go forward, you are speaking, go forward, save
• 13:00
  myself, go forward. No, you have camped around this
• 13:05
  level of anointing. Go forward.
• 13:07
  You have camped around this level of grace, go forward.
• 13:10
  Grace can be multiplied, influence can be multiplied.
• 13:14
  Power can be multiplied with some can be multiplied and so
• 13:18
  can be multiplied. Let yourself go forward.
• 13:21
  Go forward. In ministry, higher levels of
• 13:24
  grace, higher levels of power, higher levels of spiritual, what
• 13:28
  illumination tell the people that they go forward, they go
• 13:37
  forward. Luke chapter 2 and verse 52, the
• 13:40
  Bible says speaking about Jesus, our pattern man, Jesus came as a
• 13:46
  model of God's expectation for the believer and the Bible says
• 13:51
  Jesus increased not even Jesus violated that order of growth.
• 13:58
  Jesus increased in wisdom, increased in stature, increased
• 14:05
  in favor with God and with man. One more time, prophecy, I say
• 14:11
  myself. Go forward.
• 14:14
  Say it again myself. Go forward.
• 14:17
  Oh yes, go forward. For the sake of those connected
• 14:20
  to your grace, go forward. For the sake of your children,
• 14:24
  go forward. For the sake of all the souls
• 14:27
  connected to your apostleship, connected to your bishopry, go
• 14:31
  forward. Go forward.
• 14:33
  In spite of the obstacles. Go forward.
• 14:36
  In the name of Jesus, please sit down.
• 14:43
  I receive, I manifest your power and your wisdom, till the
• 14:54
  nations see Jesus lift it up. Exalted I receive, I manifest
• 15:09
  your power and your wisdom, till the nation see Jesus lifted up.
• 15:25
  Listen for someone at the end of this conference, in the name of
• 15:29
  Jesus Christ, you will search for your former self and you
• 15:32
  will not find it again. You will search for your weak
• 15:35
  self, your prayerless self, your worthless self, your canal self.
• 15:41
  There will be a transition in the Spirit.
• 15:43
  In the name of Jesus Christ. Let's be seated.
• 15:53
  The path of the just is as a shining light that shines
• 16:01
  brighter and brighter. Now let me your attention,
• 16:05
  please. Hallelujah.
• 16:08
  There is a law that controls advancement in the spirit,
• 16:15
  advancement in the Kingdom, advancement in destiny.
• 16:21
  I need you to hear this in as much as it is God's desire for
• 16:25
  you and I to make progress. His desire and intent for you
• 16:31
  does not guarantee that it will happen in your life.
• 16:35
  There are many things God desires for His people that may
• 16:38
  not be captured in their experience because the Kingdom
• 16:42
  operates based on laws and principles.
• 16:47
  Job chapter 38 and verse 33. It says nowheres thou the
• 16:52
  ordinances of heaven and cans thou establish the dominion
• 16:57
  thereof upon the earth. NLC and I think NIV says, do you
• 17:02
  know the laws of the heavens? Do you know the laws of the
• 17:06
  universe? Can you use them to regulate the
• 17:10
  earth? That means heaven is the way it
• 17:14
  is not just because of the presence of God.
• 17:17
  There are ordinances, there are laws, there are mysteries, there
• 17:21
  are principles that make heaven the way it is, and the Bible
• 17:25
  says you are able to trap those laws to import them to your
• 17:29
  space and reproduce heaven within your space.
• 17:33
  It says thy Kingdom come by your will being done in earth as it
• 17:38
  is in the heavens. We're learning now.
• 17:41
  So in as much as we have established the fact that it is
• 17:45
  God's desire that we make incremental progress spiritually
• 17:50
  first and then across every area of life.
• 17:52
  You will be surprised how many believers who love Jesus, how
• 17:57
  many believers who serve Jesus and may never come into the
• 18:02
  reality of advancement, of glory, of greatness.
• 18:07
  And the reason for that is why I want to teach you tonight.
• 18:10
  There is a law that governs advancement.
• 18:14
  You don't just grow in ministry. No, you engage laws that
• 18:18
  translate to growth. You don't just grow in your
• 18:22
  finances. Desire is important, but not
• 18:26
  enough. The prize for advancement will
• 18:31
  demand more than desire. The Bible says true desire, a
• 18:35
  man haven't separated himself secret and intermediate with
• 18:41
  every kind of wisdom. Desire is the starting point,
• 18:46
  but it cannot end just with desire.
• 18:48
  So you hear many believers tell you, I want to see the glory of
• 18:51
  God, maybe a pastor in ministry. I want to walk in greater levels
• 18:55
  of the anointing. Science and wonders increase in
• 18:58
  ministry, but not many are able to step into that experience.
• 19:06
  And in discussing this subject, the Lord placed it very strongly
• 19:10
  upon my heart to discuss with you some of the keys that are
• 19:15
  responsible for making advancement.
• 19:18
  In fact, really just one of them for tonight.
• 19:21
  Are you ready? Is called the power of
• 19:25
  decisions, the power of decisions, the power of
• 19:33
  decisions. Joshua chapter 24, please.
• 19:36
  And verse 15, Someone's life is about to change.
• 19:39
  Joshua chapter 24 and verse 15. But if you refuse to serve the
• 19:44
  Lord, then choose today is that KJV?
• 19:49
  Let's leave it at KJV Choose ye this day.
• 19:54
  It says whom you will serve, whether the gods of your
• 19:59
  father's or the ones you met at the other side.
• 20:04
  But I like what Joshua said. But As for me and my house?
• 20:11
  I have made my choice that I will serve the Lord.
• 20:15
  The command is choose ye this day.
• 20:19
  Choose ye this day. Deuteronomy chapter 30 and verse
• 20:24
  19. Deuteronomy chapter 30, please,
• 20:27
  and verse 19. Very profound revelation.
• 20:31
  Let's read it together. We can read this together.
• 20:33
  Ready 1 to go. I call heaven and earth to
• 20:37
  record this day against you that I have set before you life and
• 20:44
  death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life that both
• 20:51
  you and your seed may leave. Now look at this scripture very
• 20:56
  carefully. The first thing we learn here is
• 21:00
  that whatever you end up choosing effects beyond you.
• 21:05
  The Bible says choose life. You are the one who makes the
• 21:08
  decision, but the consequences that follow that decision go
• 21:12
  beyond you. It says you and your seed may
• 21:17
  leave. If you choose death, you and
• 21:21
  your seed will die. If you choose poverty, you and
• 21:26
  your seed will be poor. If you choose mediocrity and
• 21:30
  spiritual carelessness, you and your seed.
• 21:34
  Immediately you learn that decisions go beyond the
• 21:38
  individual who made the decision, that it affects those
• 21:42
  around you, those connected to you.
• 21:45
  Your CDA does not just refer to your biological children alone.
• 21:50
  Everybody who is within the circumference of your destiny is
• 21:54
  implicated by your decision. I call heaven and earth to
• 22:02
  record this day against you that I have set before you life and
• 22:08
  death. I have set before you a life of
• 22:12
  glory and beauty and color, or a life of pain and regret and
• 22:16
  mediocrity. I have set before you an
• 22:19
  opportunity to excel in ministry, an opportunity to
• 22:23
  bring great glory to the name of the Lord.
• 22:25
  I have set before you an opportunity to carry a mighty
• 22:29
  anointing or an opportunity to wallow in jealousy, pain and
• 22:34
  mediocrity. I have set before you blessing
• 22:38
  and cursing, life and death. I can only advise you I will not
• 22:43
  force you now. Look up please.
• 22:47
  I was teaching somewhere before coming into Ghana and one of the
• 22:51
  things I taught them is that God gave man an ability that no
• 22:58
  other creature of his has, and that ability is the power to use
• 23:04
  your will to redefine your destiny.
• 23:09
  This privilege to use your will consciously, intelligently, and
• 23:16
  redefine your destiny is an ability and a privilege that God
• 23:21
  gave only man. Now pay attention, because not
• 23:27
  everyone of God's creature is called man.
• 23:30
  There is a condition for God's creature to be called man.
• 23:34
  I told them that. Number one, for you to be called
• 23:37
  man, you must be a spirit. If you are not a spirit, you
• 23:40
  cannot be called man #2. That spirit must be domiciled in
• 23:45
  a body. If that spirit is not in a body,
• 23:50
  a body that was framed using the materials of F, you cannot be
• 23:54
  called man #3 That spirit must be connected to the solica
• 23:59
  faculties of will, emotion, and intellect.
• 24:03
  Until this tripartite factors coexist within the same entity,
• 24:08
  you cannot call that entity man. Are we together?
• 24:15
  So it's a privilege and an honor to be called man.
• 24:19
  Not just a creature. Man, the heaven of heaven
• 24:23
  belongs to the Lord, but the earth.
• 24:25
  Had he given not to all of his creature?
• 24:27
  The children of man, are we together?
• 24:31
  The Dominion mandate was not given to all of God's creature.
• 24:34
  It was given to man. So the Bible says, what is man
• 24:37
  that thou art mindful of? Not the Son of man, that thou
• 24:40
  visitest him. The entire economy of the Spirit
• 24:44
  revolves around this entity called man.
• 24:47
  In fact, the Bible puts it this way that the NS expectation of
• 24:51
  creation awaits the manifestation of the sons of
• 24:55
  God, not the creatures of God, The sons of God, no matter how
• 24:59
  hell the other creatures are, if man does not rise to his
• 25:03
  potential, God's program cannot happen.
• 25:07
  Man, are we learning already? So there's God gave man a will,
• 25:14
  and listen carefully with that will.
• 25:17
  He gave you the ability, even at the detriment of your eternal
• 25:22
  destiny, to make choices. That goes against His will, and
• 25:26
  He will respect it. This is profound.
• 25:31
  I don't know if I would have been able to take that kind of
• 25:34
  risk if I were God. I would not build a creature
• 25:38
  that has not been tested and give that creature such profound
• 25:42
  privilege that the creature has the power to even fight its
• 25:46
  creator, and the creator will respect it.
• 25:50
  Are we together? We build cars, we build apps,
• 25:55
  but we make sure those apps are obedient.
• 25:58
  There is usually something that compels obedience.
• 26:02
  You can shut it down, you can tame animals, you can tame every
• 26:07
  other thing, but God gave man wheel, the wheel.
• 26:10
  Listen carefully that you can use that wheel and look the God
• 26:15
  of creation and say I make my choice to reject you, and he
• 26:19
  will respect you. As powerful as God is, as mighty
• 26:25
  as God is, as unlimited as God is, he has bound himself to
• 26:31
  respect the will of man. That means when God speaks, it
• 26:43
  does not come to pass until man says Amen.
• 26:51
  Listen to me and the Amen. There is not what you say at the
• 26:56
  end of your prayer. My definition of Amen is every
• 27:00
  participation to demonstrate to God that you have connected your
• 27:05
  wheel to His desire. So God can say I desire to lift
• 27:09
  you, but are you interested? You can choose and say I am not
• 27:14
  interested and He will respect you even at the expense of your
• 27:19
  pain. Do you know the Bible says from
• 27:24
  the foundations of the earth, the Lamb was slain, Jesus came
• 27:28
  and died. The price for sin destruction is
• 27:32
  already paid. But ladies and gentlemen, how
• 27:34
  many of you know that there are still people going to hell today
• 27:39
  in spite of the finished work of Christ?
• 27:42
  That will is that powerful that men can look the King of glory
• 27:46
  in spite of His substitutionary sacrifice, and they can choose.
• 27:51
  I make up my mind to reject you, and He will respect it.
• 27:56
  I'm saying this to you because most believers do not know that
• 28:01
  destiny actualization is not just a function of God's will or
• 28:06
  God's power alone. There is a major component to
• 28:10
  your becoming. Your rising that most men have
• 28:14
  ignored is called the power to choose.
• 28:18
  The power to choose your life up until now is a summation of your
• 28:25
  choices. Whether there are choices that
• 28:28
  were made intelligently and intentionally or choices that
• 28:33
  were products of neglect, you will be learning shortly.
• 28:37
  If you truly desire an upgrade in your life, then you must
• 28:41
  understand the power of decisions because everything in
• 28:46
  the realm of the spirit, including demons, including
• 28:50
  causes, including yokes, they depend on this factor to work.
• 29:00
  If your salvation depends on your will, causes also depend on
• 29:05
  your will. Blessings also depend on your
• 29:08
  will. Prosperity depends on your will.
• 29:12
  Poverty depends on your will. Whether you are aware or not,
• 29:16
  it's a different thing all together.
• 29:17
  That means there is a way you can choose that even if poverty
• 29:21
  comes, it cannot walk because your will fights it.
• 29:25
  There is a way you can choose that prayerlessness, the spirits
• 29:29
  that kill the prayer life of people.
• 29:32
  When it comes, you don't have to drive it.
• 29:34
  Your will becomes a defence. It renders it important, the
• 29:40
  will of man. Are we learning now the
• 29:46
  difference between any two people in the Kingdom is not
• 29:50
  God's desire for the same Lord is reached unto all.
• 29:53
  The Bible says the difference between a champion and a
• 29:57
  mediocre, the difference between an anointed person and an
• 30:01
  unserious Christian, The difference between a trailblazer
• 30:05
  and a mediocre, is not the power of God necessarily is not even
• 30:09
  the desire of God for them. It is that one person, either to
• 30:13
  mentorship or by the mercy of God, has learned, among many
• 30:18
  other factors, the power of decisions and has used His will
• 30:23
  to redefine the possibilities of his destiny.
• 30:26
  Whereas another person is waiting for chance,
• 30:30
  superstition, and all kinds of things.
• 30:34
  Satan dreads men who understand the power that has been given to
• 30:39
  them, the ability to choose. If you're with me, say Amen.
• 30:51
  Your decisions I wrote here, beyond your conditions, decide
• 30:56
  the quality of your life. Your decisions, more than your
• 31:01
  conditions, decide the quality of your life.
• 31:05
  It's important you understand this.
• 31:07
  Your decisions more than your conditions.
• 31:11
  Your condition is as temporal as the strength of your decisions.
• 31:16
  Because if you have the power to choose, then you have the power
• 31:19
  to change. Did you hear what I said?
• 31:22
  If you have the power to choose, you have the power to change.
• 31:26
  Every condition remains permanent, as permanent as your
• 31:31
  indecision. If you have the power to choose,
• 31:36
  you have the power to change. Amazing how an unbeliever with
• 31:41
  one use of this will can become a believer immediately by
• 31:46
  agreeing to receive Jesus. Isn't it amazing?
• 31:50
  1 lazy, careless and serious person can make a decision and
• 31:55
  get into a bookstore and by the power of that choice, in one
• 32:00
  month that person's destiny can change.
• 32:02
  One person can choose to pursue the anointing with humility.
• 32:07
  Another person can remain in pride and their possibilities
• 32:10
  can be East and West. Your destiny is at the mercy of
• 32:15
  this mystery. God gave you the power to
• 32:18
  choose. You will be amazed at how many
• 32:23
  great things have knocked at the door of your destiny, but you
• 32:26
  rejected them, not knowing you rejected them.
• 32:29
  The Bible says as many as received Him, that means you can
• 32:33
  reject Him. As many as received it says ye
• 32:36
  shall receive power. That means you can reject power.
• 32:42
  The Bible says buy the truth and sell it, not your decisions more
• 32:50
  than your conditions. Decide the quality of your life.
• 32:54
  Now look at me please. Decisions do not carry the same
• 32:59
  weight in the spirit. There are certain decisions
• 33:03
  called destiny defining decisions.
• 33:06
  For instance, I can choose to wear what I'm wearing now.
• 33:10
  I would have chosen to wear black.
• 33:12
  It doesn't necessarily affect my destiny that much.
• 33:16
  It's not a destiny defining decision, but there are certain
• 33:20
  decisions that carry so much weight that you may not even
• 33:23
  have a chance to make another corrective decision.
• 33:26
  Again, all decisions do not weigh the same in the spirit.
• 33:32
  All decisions do not weigh the same in destiny.
• 33:36
  Are we together now? Decisions decide destiny.
• 33:44
  Now let me tell you something else about decisions.
• 33:47
  Lend me your attention. Every decision has a consequence
• 33:56
  connected to it. You are not given the liberty to
• 34:00
  choose consequences. You cannot choose consequences.
• 34:04
  The consequences are automatically connected to the
• 34:08
  decision. Are we together?
• 34:10
  Now? What God gives you the power to
• 34:13
  do is to make the choices. But once you have made the
• 34:17
  choices, you are also prepared to receive the consequences that
• 34:22
  come with the choices. Are we together?
• 34:25
  So if I decide, for instance, do you know that as anointed as God
• 34:31
  has helped me to be, I actually can end my life in the next 10
• 34:35
  minutes? That is how powerful the will
• 34:38
  is. I literally, with all the angels
• 34:41
  protecting me, I can choose that I want to end my life in 10
• 34:46
  minutes. And God in heaven, the giver of
• 34:51
  life, will respect that choice, and in exactly 10 minutes I will
• 34:55
  be dead. That is how powerful it is.
• 35:01
  The power to choose to choose a great tomorrow or the power to
• 35:08
  choose a worse tomorrow resides within everyone of you who is
• 35:12
  looking at me right now. The difference between you and
• 35:15
  everybody you admire is the strength of their decisions over
• 35:19
  time and the consequences that have come to honor that
• 35:23
  decision. Let me take it again.
• 35:25
  The difference between you and anyone at all you have ever
• 35:29
  admired is not necessarily the grace of God, is not necessarily
• 35:34
  the love of God, for the same Lord is reached unto all that
• 35:37
  call upon Him. It is that they by grace have
• 35:40
  understood this gift God gave man and have utilized it
• 35:46
  effectively. And what you call results are
• 35:50
  the consequences connected to the decisions they have made.
• 35:55
  To work in integrity is a choice.
• 35:58
  To be crooked is a choice. To be pavous is a choice.
• 36:02
  To work in righteousness is a choice.
• 36:05
  To be responsible is a choice. To be careless is a choice.
• 36:09
  To be prayerless is a choice. To be prayerful is a choice.
• 36:13
  To be anointed is a choice. To be meteor kind of spirit is a
• 36:17
  choice. To be a a great man of God is a
• 36:20
  choice. To be one who does not bring
• 36:22
  much glory is a choice. To fail in life is a choice.
• 36:26
  To succeed is a choice. To be a champion is a choice.
• 36:31
  To be a great prophet is a choice.
• 36:33
  To be a mighty battle axe is a choice.
• 36:36
  To be wealthy is a choice. To be poor and beggarly is a
• 36:40
  choice. Can I continue to cut short your
• 36:47
  life is a choice. A choice that many people do not
• 36:54
  know how to make and to live long is a choice.
• 36:59
  To stay healthy is a choice. To be sick until you die is a
• 37:04
  choice. To give in to causes and yokes
• 37:10
  is a choice. To stand in the victory that
• 37:14
  Christ has brought for you is a choice.
• 37:17
  To be in this program this night was a choice.
• 37:22
  Where were all the demons when you were coming here?
• 37:25
  That is how powerful your will is that in spite of Satan's
• 37:30
  desire, he could not stop you nor the car.
• 37:33
  So why will your destiny? If you left home and nothing
• 37:37
  stopped you from getting here, why do you think you cannot get
• 37:40
  to the place of destiny? Are you learning now?
• 37:48
  It's a choice. You had a right to do something
• 37:53
  else with your time. It's called your time and you
• 37:57
  decided to invest it in your destiny.
• 37:59
  It's a choice. It's a choice.
• 38:03
  The man of God had a right to stop this program from happening
• 38:07
  this year. It was not just God's will, it
• 38:11
  was also a choice. Are we together now?
• 38:15
  My travelling to come here was a choice.
• 38:18
  And there are consequences. Your transformation is part of
• 38:22
  the consequences of that decision.
• 38:25
  Your healing is part of the consequences of that decision.
• 38:29
  Listen, let me tell you this. If you don't understand my
• 38:33
  message many years after now, you will look back and you will
• 38:38
  hate yourself because you will see that you cheated your
• 38:42
  destiny and allow things to just happen like that.
• 38:48
  You're my glory, the lifter. Up of my head, you are my.
• 38:55
  Glory the lifter up of my head. I found myself singing this song
• 39:01
  from place to place. It's a revelation to me that God
• 39:06
  gave me this kind of power over my destiny.
• 39:09
  I can rewrite my story. It doesn't matter where I came
• 39:13
  from. You didn't choose your arrival,
• 39:16
  but you can choose your destination.
• 39:23
  You're my. Glory the lift of mine.
• 39:29
  You are my glory, the lift of mine.
• 39:38
  The power to choose is a miracle that men do not understand the
• 39:43
  extent the extent of risk God took to give man the power to
• 39:51
  choose a possible How come another person is greatly
• 39:58
  celebrated across the globe and then another person is left?
• 40:01
  I'm sure God just wanted to show him mercy.
• 40:04
  The Bible says come bully, everyone has access to the same
• 40:08
  place, it is a choice. Listen, isn't it amazing that
• 40:13
  two brothers from the same family, raised by the same
• 40:17
  parents under the same condition, negative or positive,
• 40:22
  but the outcomes of their destinies can be east and West?
• 40:25
  What is the difference between Jacob and Esau God?
• 40:34
  What was the difference between Cain and Abel God?
• 40:39
  Satan choice? The difference between this
• 40:54
  version of you now and the version that the nations is
• 40:58
  waiting for is not. Time is choice.
• 41:03
  There is a fashion of you in you that if you allow yourself to
• 41:08
  make serious this teaching tonight you will mourn like a
• 41:12
  snake opening your old shelf and allowing a new you to evolve in
• 41:18
  power, in wisdom, in grace. That is the fashion that nations
• 41:23
  will glorify God for. But for as long as you sit and
• 41:26
  remain and hope that things will change, I hope.
• 41:30
  I will be blessed one day. I hope my children and will fear
• 41:34
  God one day. I hope I will be healed one day.
• 41:37
  No Sir, No Sir, I'm sure one day I will be anointed.
• 41:45
  No Sir. I made a statement back at home.
• 41:49
  I said revivals have no dates. The day the vessel is prepared,
• 41:54
  that is the day revival comes. The day God heals you.
• 42:02
  It's not the day He wants to heal you is the day you have
• 42:05
  heard the Word of Faith, or the day you decided to act, or the
• 42:09
  day a vessel yielded enough to carry grace that can bring you
• 42:14
  healing arrived. Many things that we blame God
• 42:19
  for. God has no hand in it.
• 42:21
  He's created a system that if you are not enlightened enough
• 42:25
  to understand and to engage you may remain mediocre forever.
• 42:31
  You called it an upgrade. This is what God is doing,
• 42:34
  showing you what you have neglected that Satan has been
• 42:37
  helping you use because you kept it down and sit and found it
• 42:44
  such a treasure. And he's been helping you choose
• 42:47
  by manipulating your mind, helping you choose by
• 42:51
  manipulating your understanding, helping you choose by planting
• 42:55
  tears, planting all kinds of things.
• 42:58
  And you find your life nose diving, moving in a direction
• 43:02
  you do not want. And you are wondering who is
• 43:04
  making these choices for me? Man of God, the difference
• 43:16
  between the dream you have seen of you healing people and doing
• 43:20
  mighty things and the you actually entering that
• 43:24
  experience is a choice. For instance, a choice to come
• 43:31
  for a prophetic convergence like this because you know grace can
• 43:34
  be available to rewrite your possibilities.
• 43:37
  It is a choice. It is a choice to be humble, to
• 43:43
  receive is a choice to be arrogant.
• 43:46
  To act like you have the results when you don't is a choice and
• 43:50
  all of them have consequences. Is someone learning?
• 43:59
  When I found out that my destiny does not just depend on God, but
• 44:04
  it depends on my ability to use this gift, I rejoice with God
• 44:10
  and I made-up my mind. I said I found my key.
• 44:15
  I can choose when I'm weak. I can use that power to choose
• 44:20
  to call for help. Call unto me.
• 44:23
  Prayer is proof of humility. I can use my will and call upon
• 44:27
  the Lord to come and help me, because the Lord is nigh.
• 44:30
  Them that call upon Him, not them who are in trouble is
• 44:36
  someone learning? Listen, let me tell you the
• 44:39
  truth, great organizations today, please sit down, have
• 44:43
  been built on account of the correct usage of this divine
• 44:48
  gift. Let me give you 2 definitions of
• 44:53
  what it means to choose #1 To choose means to settle on an
• 45:06
  option in the midst of many options.
• 45:11
  To settle on an option. Whatever becomes the basis of
• 45:16
  that conclusion is up to you. But to choose means to finally
• 45:20
  settle a resolve to settle on an option in the midst of of
• 45:27
  various options. And the first law of effective
• 45:31
  decision is to be aware of all the decisions available
• 45:35
  alongside the consequences they carry.
• 45:38
  Is someone learning now? When you make choices in
• 45:41
  ignorance is the same thing as allowing the devil choose for
• 45:45
  you because you will choose disaster.
• 45:48
  You want to make effective choices.
• 45:50
  You have to be aware, if you serve me a buffet, usually I
• 45:57
  would go around and look at everything that is available.
• 46:00
  Am I right on that? So there's rice here, maybe
• 46:03
  pasta, and you tell me there's salad.
• 46:05
  There's whatever. Then I can choose using various
• 46:09
  parameters. Maybe whatever health program
• 46:12
  I'm currently working on or my appetite at the moment or the
• 46:15
  recommendation that anyone gives me.
• 46:18
  Are you seeing that now? There can be various parameters,
• 46:21
  but at the end of it, usually as wonderful and delicious as other
• 46:26
  meals on the tables. I may not even touch some of
• 46:28
  them. There are those who just take
• 46:31
  fruits and the basis for that decision is that they don't eat
• 46:34
  when it's late. They have made a choice.
• 46:38
  Are there consequences to their choices?
• 46:40
  Yes. There are those who eat
• 46:42
  everything on that table and add more.
• 46:45
  Is that a choice? Yes.
• 46:46
  Are there consequences to that decision?
• 46:52
  Am I right on that? When a non robber leaves his
• 46:55
  house and goes to rob another person, the same energy it takes
• 47:00
  to rob is the same energy it takes to think.
• 47:04
  The man would have converted that energy to think by the
• 47:08
  spirit and come up with a solution that still empowers him
• 47:12
  with dignity. Look at the creativity deployed
• 47:16
  in Stealing. The timing, the courage, the
• 47:23
  mastery of the environment, learning the weaknesses of those
• 47:27
  who are going to steal from. These are already business
• 47:30
  principles there, and yet the person decides to invest those
• 47:34
  principles to steal. It's a choice.
• 47:39
  Let me tell you how powerful the power to choose is.
• 47:42
  Have you heard of the story of a young man called the prodigal
• 47:46
  Son? The bundle says that gentleman
• 47:50
  was now with the swine. He never says the Holy Spirit
• 47:53
  spoke to him by himself. He says he came to himself.
• 47:59
  Men can come to themselves. The Bible does not say the Holy
• 48:03
  Spirit convicted him. The gentleman sat down, thought
• 48:08
  intelligently, started weighing options.
• 48:11
  Option one, to have remained at home, The choice to submit to
• 48:16
  the authority of my father and enjoy the blessings that follow
• 48:20
  that estate. The choice to have lived a
• 48:23
  riotous life with friends who are no longer here.
• 48:28
  And he said, how many hired servants has my father and I am
• 48:36
  here, destined for greatness and glory.
• 48:40
  I have been so furnished and depleted, I now feed with the
• 48:44
  swine. And he said no.
• 48:46
  If I chose to be here, I can choose to go back.
• 48:51
  Many things left that gentleman. His money left him, his friends
• 48:55
  left him. But the power to choose remain.
• 48:59
  Can I tell you every time you say I have nothing, you lied.
• 49:05
  There is one thing that never leaves you.
• 49:07
  There is one thing that no cost can take away.
• 49:10
  There is one thing no enchantment can take away.
• 49:13
  I know you lost your job, but not your power to choose.
• 49:16
  I know you lost Ministry, but not the power to choose.
• 49:20
  I know you lost character, but not the power to choose.
• 49:24
  So as long as the power to choose remains, every other
• 49:29
  thing that left you can return. Are you learning?
• 49:38
  So the gentleman came to himself.
• 49:41
  Let me show you how he chose, he said.
• 49:43
  I will arise and act off my wheel.
• 49:47
  Are we still here tonight? I will arise and go to my
• 49:51
  Father. And when I get to my Father, I
• 49:55
  will still use this gift again and tell him, Father, I have
• 49:59
  sinned against you and against heaven.
• 50:01
  I am not worthy to be called your Son.
• 50:04
  Take me as one of your slaves. And he got up and began to walk.
• 50:09
  Satan notwithstanding, I will go forward my yesterday.
• 50:13
  Notwithstanding, I will go forward my prayerlessness of
• 50:16
  yesterday. Notwithstanding, I can start
• 50:19
  afresh today rather than regretting yesterday.
• 50:25
  Are we together? Can I tell you the same time it
• 50:30
  used to regret and waste your time discussing your issues and
• 50:34
  limitations is the same time it takes to make up your mind and
• 50:38
  use this gift God gave you. Apostle, I just discovered as a
• 50:43
  man of God I do not know many things about ministry.
• 50:45
  You have done well, but you can start from where you are.
• 50:49
  He told Abraham, from where thou art, not where you want to be,
• 50:53
  from where you are. Your feet cannot go there, but
• 50:56
  your eyes can go round. He says look northwards,
• 50:59
  southwards, eastwards, westwards, as far as your eyes
• 51:03
  can see. Hallelujah.
• 51:11
  Sometimes I look at my photos and I look at my notes of
• 51:18
  yesteryears and I see some of the things I wrote there and I
• 51:22
  laugh. Sometimes I think to myself, I
• 51:26
  said, my God, the power to choose is so powerful.
• 51:30
  I remember when I wrote a few things many years ago that I'll
• 51:34
  have the honor of travelling around the world, bringing the
• 51:36
  gospel, the life, the power of God.
• 51:39
  It would be a joke that those days, but those days have become
• 51:44
  today. The difference is not just the
• 51:50
  will of God. The difference is not that Satan
• 51:56
  has stopped being determined to destroy God's purposes.
• 51:59
  It is the power of this gift. Tonight God wants to repackage
• 52:04
  that gift and give someone that. You have been crying around
• 52:09
  saying I don't have a job, nobody likes me.
• 52:13
  It's a choice. You can make people like you
• 52:16
  again. It's a choice I don't.
• 52:22
  It doesn't look like I hear from God.
• 52:24
  It's a choice because everything that makes for greatness is
• 52:30
  learnable. Everything.
• 52:35
  Are we learning now? My first assignment tonight is,
• 52:39
  is to provoke you to see that where you are now, you've been
• 52:44
  giving flimsy excuses, he says. We have come past this mountain
• 52:48
  long enough for God's sake, Someone, God is telling you by
• 52:52
  now you should already be speaking to people prophetically
• 52:56
  by now. You should be healing the sick.
• 52:58
  But you are still at a level giving flimsy excuses and
• 53:02
  getting angry. Blaming Satan will not do you
• 53:09
  good, even if he's had a role to play.
• 53:14
  His role was empowered by your poor decisions or indecisions,
• 53:19
  and that's what empowered him to remain.
• 53:21
  There is someone learning tonight in one minute before I
• 53:26
  now begin to show you a few things that you may do with your
• 53:30
  life. Please lay your hands on your
• 53:32
  head and begin to pray in the Spirit.
• 53:34
  From this day forward my life must change.
• 53:38
  Someone use this gift. From this day forward, I take
• 53:44
  advantage of the supply of grace.
• 53:46
  But from this day forward, someone pray.
• 53:50
  From this day forward, my music ministry must take another
• 53:54
  dimension, helping me to serve God at a greater level.
• 53:58
  From this day forward, this Apostolic ministry, this
• 54:02
  prophetic ministry must scale heights in the spirit for the
• 54:07
  sake of Kingdom efficiency. From this day forward, my
• 54:11
  finances must change. From this day forward.
• 54:15
  From this day forward, someone pray, use this gift that God
• 54:20
  gave you. The part of the just shines
• 54:24
  brighter, but at the mercy of your power to choose.
• 54:38
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 54:41
  Please be seated. It takes your decisions to fail
• 54:57
  in life and it takes your decisions to succeed in life.
• 55:03
  Let me tell you this. The major way causes and demonic
• 55:08
  operations work is to manipulate this gift.
• 55:13
  Did you hear what I said? The major way causes work is not
• 55:17
  to veto you, is to manipulate your power to choose so that you
• 55:22
  make poor or I'll decisions that attract negative consequences to
• 55:28
  your life. They depend on that power.
• 55:34
  That is why causes cannot work for a dead man.
• 55:37
  That is why blessings cannot work for a dead man, because the
• 55:41
  factor that gives them power is gone.
• 55:45
  The power to choose is only there when life is there.
• 55:49
  That's why the Bible says there's hope for the living.
• 55:52
  He that is joined to the living lose everything but the one
• 55:57
  thing God gave you. If it is still there, you can
• 56:00
  get back again. People have lost billions of
• 56:04
  dollars, billions and millions of dollars, and they sat back in
• 56:10
  trouble, but they said I would get back again and they got back
• 56:14
  again. Are we together now?
• 56:16
  There are people who have had their homes washed away by
• 56:20
  flawed and while others were rejoicing, someone else was
• 56:23
  saying the same wisdom that protest is still there.
• 56:27
  I will arise again, someone said.
• 56:29
  I will arise. Prophecy say I will arise one
• 56:32
  more time. Say I will arrive.
• 56:38
  Stop giving the flimsy excuse that you've not got a job since
• 56:43
  you were a graduate. I don't mean to insult you.
• 56:45
  I'm being harsh on you for a reason.
• 56:47
  I'm not. Grace desires a stretch.
• 56:50
  If I don't stretch, you will not rise for as long.
• 56:53
  Let me tell you this, Mediocrity always thrives on excuses.
• 57:01
  A justifiable reason. My father was a drunkard, my
• 57:06
  mother was a prostitute. Such a sad story.
• 57:11
  I sympathize with you, but what are you going to make out of
• 57:14
  your life from that point? Isn't it amazing that the
• 57:18
  excuses that most believers give justifying their lives?
• 57:23
  I was abused when I was young. Now I don't downplay your pain,
• 57:27
  but how old are you now? Are we together?
• 57:32
  How old are you now? Someone defrauded me in 2010.
• 57:37
  For God's sake. What?
• 57:39
  What is today's date, 20/24? Do you know from the time you
• 57:44
  started regretting? That was the day someone made-up
• 57:47
  his mind and by now they've caught up with destiny.
• 57:50
  Someone be angry, Say I will arise.
• 57:53
  Say it again, I will arise. God has called me into the music
• 58:01
  ministry. You may say, let me see how you
• 58:04
  are using your gift to rise and scale, not just the gift of
• 58:09
  singing, the gift of a will that when others are sleeping, you
• 58:13
  are waking up praying in the night.
• 58:16
  You are using your will, you are rewriting your own
• 58:18
  possibilities. That's how he sang his song O.
• 58:23
  Be lifted above all other gods we lay our crowds and worship
• 58:37
  You believed that above all, all the gods we lay a crime and
• 58:50
  worship you all. Glorious God, we pray your name.
• 59:09
  Do you know, let me use him for an instance.
• 59:12
  When the spirit of Revelation was resting, it was not on only
• 59:16
  him. He rested on someone who's not
• 59:20
  the way. An opportunity to have written a
• 59:22
  song too, slept it over and said I would think about it one day.
• 59:28
  Whereas someone got up and said, this is it only one line of the
• 59:32
  song. I will start from there.
• 59:34
  It's a seed enough. Are we together?
• 59:41
  Church is quiet tonight. God's word is coming as a rod,
• 59:48
  shaking away every excuse for some of you.
• 59:52
  By now you should be doing business at a transcontinental
• 59:56
  scale with the kind of intelligence God gave you.
• 1:00:00
  But again, last year I had the honor of speaking at the World
• 1:00:05
  Conference here in your nation of the Full Gospel Businessman's
• 1:00:08
  Fellowship. And I remember speaking to them
• 1:00:12
  and challenging them that in as much as we have seen so much,
• 1:00:17
  there is always more in revelations.
• 1:00:21
  He said come up Heather, and I will show you he already had
• 1:00:26
  revelations from chapter 1234. What he said.
• 1:00:29
  Come up, Heather. Come up here is someone getting
• 1:00:34
  angry. You have wasted the opportunity
• 1:00:39
  to rewrite and redefine your destiny.
• 1:00:42
  But there's no point regretting because that gift is still with
• 1:00:46
  you. You lost things, but not the
• 1:00:50
  power to choose. You lost men, but not the power
• 1:00:53
  to choose. You lost opportunities, but not
• 1:00:57
  the power to choose. Let me tell you the truth, the
• 1:01:00
  next time you see someone saying I've lost everything, tell him
• 1:01:04
  yes, why didn't you come for this prophetic conference?
• 1:01:08
  Let me be a lecturer. God shielded the power to choose
• 1:01:15
  such that the only way to lose it is when you are dead.
• 1:01:19
  Provided you are alive. There is no enchantment, there
• 1:01:24
  is no spirit that can take away from you the power to choose.
• 1:01:31
  Hallelujah. Hallelujah is someone learning.
• 1:01:37
  Please sit down. Please sit down.
• 1:01:41
  Let me show you a few things very quickly and then we'll
• 1:01:43
  pray. The real value of wisdom, write
• 1:01:49
  this down. The real value of wisdom is in
• 1:01:54
  its ability to help you make superior decisions.
• 1:01:59
  The real value of wisdom is not the acquisition of information.
• 1:02:07
  The real value of wisdom is that you gather together the factors
• 1:02:13
  that help you to make superior destiny defining decisions.
• 1:02:19
  Don't tell me you are wise. Show me if you are wise when it
• 1:02:25
  has to do with wisdom. You don't say I am wise, you
• 1:02:29
  show it by the superiority of the decisions that come from the
• 1:02:34
  information you have or claim to have.
• 1:02:37
  So if you claim you are wise and I do not see superior decisions,
• 1:02:42
  that is why wisdom goes hand in hand with mighty walks.
• 1:02:48
  Are we together now? Now I want to give you 7
• 1:02:57
  decisions that you must make with your life. 7 destiny
• 1:03:05
  defining decisions. I give you a guarantee by the
• 1:03:09
  authority of Scripture if you pay attention to these seven
• 1:03:13
  decisions, I assure you, whether you are here in this auditorium
• 1:03:18
  or outside or following online, for some of you it's in a matter
• 1:03:23
  of days you will see an upgrade that will surprise you. 7
• 1:03:27
  decisions. I told you, not all decisions
• 1:03:31
  carry the same weight. Remember that by the privilege
• 1:03:36
  of God's grace, the honor of mentorship, and the ministry of
• 1:03:40
  the Holy Spirit, I have distilled 7 decisions that a man
• 1:03:46
  must make with his life. It doesn't matter whether you're
• 1:03:50
  calling to ministry, business, family, a student, a career
• 1:03:54
  person. If you do not make this seven
• 1:03:57
  decisions, well, your life is doomed to fail.
• 1:04:00
  Are you ready? Open my eyes.
• 1:04:02
  Oh God, someone pray in one minute.
• 1:04:04
  Open my eyes. Open my eyes for the sake of my
• 1:04:09
  tomorrow, for the sake of those connected to this grace.
• 1:04:19
  Salamela, Kaparatos, Sabraske Vedic.
• 1:04:28
  In Jesus name we pray. In Jesus name, we pray.
• 1:04:33
  I'm going to run through this list for every one of these
• 1:04:37
  decisions I mentioned. I'll not have the time to teach
• 1:04:40
  elaborately on it, but when I touch on it, we're going to pray
• 1:04:43
  it into our lives. Is that a good deal?
• 1:04:46
  So I mentioned number one, you pray if you are not praying, no,
• 1:04:50
  it's an attack. Remember I told you
• 1:04:52
  prayerlessness is a choice. So once we mention you pray with
• 1:04:56
  all your heart, this is it. I'm finding my road map out of a
• 1:05:01
  life of mediocrity. For some of you, after tonight's
• 1:05:05
  service, you will look Satan to the face and say so.
• 1:05:07
  This is how powerless you are. I did not know that you are as
• 1:05:11
  powerful as my indecision, but now that I have chosen to use
• 1:05:17
  this gift God gave me number one, what is the first decision
• 1:05:28
  you must make in your life? You desire to rise to a new
• 1:05:31
  dimension, to rise to a new level in ministry in Korea, the
• 1:05:36
  first decision every man must make consciously is the decision
• 1:05:43
  to make exceptional spiritual progress.
• 1:05:49
  The decision to make exceptional spiritual progress.
• 1:05:56
  If you're writing on the line, the word exceptional, please.
• 1:06:00
  The decision to use your life, to use your days, to make
• 1:06:07
  exceptional spiritual progress, to know the Lord, to love the
• 1:06:16
  Lord and to serve Him with all your heart, it is a choice.
• 1:06:21
  It is a choice to be serious with God, is a choice to love
• 1:06:26
  Jesus passionately whether you are in ministry or not.
• 1:06:30
  It's a choice. The decision to plunge yourself
• 1:06:34
  into everything Pro Kingdom is a choice.
• 1:06:38
  And recall I told you that you do not choose consequences.
• 1:06:43
  You make decisions, and to the degree to which they are
• 1:06:46
  superior, they attract superior consequences to your life.
• 1:06:51
  Like the anointing, like wisdom, like grace, like favor, like
• 1:06:56
  open doors. These are the benefits that come
• 1:06:59
  with knowing and loving the Lord.
• 1:07:01
  Second Chronicles 26 and verse 5.
• 1:07:03
  Let's hurry up. Second Chronicles 26 and verse 5
• 1:07:08
  the Bible says and he the he there been Uzziah sought God in
• 1:07:13
  the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of
• 1:07:18
  God. Let's read the final sentence
• 1:07:20
  together ready 1 to go. And as long as he sought the
• 1:07:24
  Lord, God made him to prosper, who made him prosper.
• 1:07:30
  Make no mistakes about it, God makes men prosper, but He does
• 1:07:35
  that in honor to their decision. His own part was that he made-up
• 1:07:41
  his mind to seek the Lord and as long as he sought the Lord, God
• 1:07:46
  made him to prosper. God is still a maker.
• 1:07:50
  The Bible calls him the maker of the heavens and the earth, but
• 1:07:53
  he still makes men. He can make ordinary men like
• 1:07:56
  Joshua Selman and turn them to signs and wonders.
• 1:07:59
  He can make an ordinary person like you.
• 1:08:02
  That by this time next year when we come into Ghana, we'll say,
• 1:08:06
  are you not that sister that was quietly seated in that meeting?
• 1:08:10
  And you will say, well, I made a decision to serve the Lord.
• 1:08:14
  I made a decision to serve the God of heaven.
• 1:08:16
  And look the anointing He brought to my life.
• 1:08:19
  Look the power, look the favor. Look the doors He's open for me
• 1:08:25
  As for me and my house, me and my destiny, me and the vision
• 1:08:33
  God has given me. We will serve the law.
• 1:08:38
  It's a decision that means I have many options, but I choose
• 1:08:43
  to serve the Lord. Someone, tonight is your night
• 1:08:47
  of decision. That right here whilst you are
• 1:08:50
  sitting, you can say I choose to serve Jesus.
• 1:08:53
  I have other options. I can get into traditional
• 1:08:56
  practice and do a lot of demonic things.
• 1:08:59
  I can get into occultism is an option.
• 1:09:01
  I can get into just believing in myself without God.
• 1:09:05
  But I choose as an act of my will.
• 1:09:08
  I use this gift to serve the Lord.
• 1:09:10
  The Bible says except the Lord builds a house, they labor in
• 1:09:17
  vain that build it. Is that still in your Bible?
• 1:09:20
  Except the Lord watches over a city, Beloved people, He says
• 1:09:24
  the Watchmen watch it, but in vain.
• 1:09:26
  It is vain to wake up early in the morning and to sleep late at
• 1:09:30
  night, only to eat the bread of sorrow, but he giveth his
• 1:09:34
  beloved sleep. Say I choose to serve the Lord.
• 1:09:39
  Shout it convincingly. Say I choose to serve the Lord.
• 1:09:43
  I choose to serve the Lord. Yes, Sir, Yes Sir.
• 1:09:49
  It's a choice. So when someone looks at you and
• 1:09:52
  says why are you always going to church, tell them, because I
• 1:09:55
  chose to serve the Lord. Why are you a faithful worker in
• 1:09:59
  church? It's a choice.
• 1:10:00
  I was not manipulated. I was not coerced.
• 1:10:03
  It's a choice. Why do you love to read your
• 1:10:05
  Bible? It's a choice.
• 1:10:06
  Why do you love ministry? It's a choice, a choice, a
• 1:10:10
  choice. You have the power to choose,
• 1:10:12
  and don't get angry at my choice because I have a will.
• 1:10:15
  You have a will. If you see my results, don't
• 1:10:18
  envy. I use that gift.
• 1:10:21
  You can also use that gift. Are we together?
• 1:10:24
  I've chosen to love him with all my life.
• 1:10:36
  I've chosen to serve him all my days.
• 1:10:39
  It's not a choice because I'm a preacher.
• 1:10:43
  It was the choice that made me a preacher.
• 1:10:52
  Look at me, Bishop. Sir, you will be amazed at how
• 1:10:58
  many people have not chosen to serve the Lord.
• 1:11:01
  They found themselves in church. They were born by Christian
• 1:11:05
  parents and so they can't run away from church.
• 1:11:08
  Are we together and they found themselves becoming youth
• 1:11:11
  pastors, choir director and they are stuck with this burden
• 1:11:15
  called God. My one desire is.
• 1:11:23
  That you be praised. That you be praised.
• 1:11:31
  That you be praised. My.
• 1:11:35
  One desire is that you be praised, that you be praised,
• 1:11:46
  that you be praised. Somewhere in the cost of this
• 1:11:52
  service, I'm going to give someone an opportunity who
• 1:11:57
  desires to use this gift for the first time in this way to
• 1:12:01
  verbalize, vocalize, and act out your desire for Jesus.
• 1:12:08
  And when that time comes, do not harden your heart like you did
• 1:12:12
  not hear this preacher. Remember, you do not choose
• 1:12:18
  consequences, you make decisions.
• 1:12:23
  Your grandfather had a choice to serve Jesus, but he used His
• 1:12:27
  will to serve Satan. The result of this decision is
• 1:12:33
  the pain you've gone through from childhood to adulthood.
• 1:12:38
  Don't let your children go through the same thing because
• 1:12:40
  of your carelessness that everything you came into.
• 1:12:44
  Let your children not come into you.
• 1:12:47
  You can be the bridge between yesterday and tomorrow.
• 1:12:52
  I came from a family of poverty, you say.
• 1:12:55
  I came from a family that serves Satan, and I know what those
• 1:12:59
  causes did to me, you will say. But from this day forward I make
• 1:13:03
  up my mind that everyone that comes after me will serve the
• 1:13:08
  living God. John 17 verse 3.
• 1:13:10
  This is life eternal, that they may know thee, the one true God
• 1:13:16
  and Jesus whom thou has sent #2 is someone learning.
• 1:13:24
  The second destiny defining decision that everyone under the
• 1:13:29
  sound of my voice must make tonight is the decision to be
• 1:13:36
  transformed. The decision to contend for a
• 1:13:40
  superior belief system? Write it down, please.
• 1:13:44
  The decision to be transformed. The decision.
• 1:14:20
  To change Lord, you can change. That is the power of a
• 1:14:28
  transformed mind. That's what a transformed mind
• 1:14:31
  does. A transformed mind comes into
• 1:14:34
  partnership with the will of God.
• 1:14:36
  A transformed mind is how you tell God Amen that everything
• 1:14:41
  you have desired for me, let it flow through the lens of my
• 1:14:45
  transformation to my destiny. Listen, every result in the
• 1:14:50
  spirit is mindset belief system dependent, prosperity belief
• 1:14:57
  system dependent, poverty belief system dependent, leadership
• 1:15:03
  belief system dependent, mediocrity belief system
• 1:15:08
  dependent, influence belief system dependent.
• 1:15:13
  Guess what the Bible says? It says Romans chapter 12 from
• 1:15:20
  verse one, I beseech thee brethren, by the message of God.
• 1:15:23
  It says that you offer your bodies a living sacrifice unto
• 1:15:27
  God, holy, unacceptable. It calls it your reasonable act
• 1:15:31
  of service or worship. Then verse 2 says do not be
• 1:15:34
  conformed to this world is a Greek word aeon, the thinking
• 1:15:39
  pattern that comes with this age.
• 1:15:41
  It says what be ye transformed, Transform.
• 1:15:45
  The same process that transcends an insect from egg, lava, pupa,
• 1:15:51
  adult. How many of you know that all of
• 1:15:53
  those 4 stages, the insect does not look the same?
• 1:15:57
  No, the lava does not look the same as pupa.
• 1:16:00
  There are things that the adult insect has that at a lava stage
• 1:16:05
  or a pupa stage does not have. For instance the ability to fly.
• 1:16:09
  Are we together? So the Bible says be transformed
• 1:16:16
  in your transformation. You will prove through your life
• 1:16:20
  that good, acceptable and perfect will of God in your
• 1:16:25
  transformation. Philippians 2 verse 5 says let
• 1:16:28
  this mind be in you. The word let means permit,
• 1:16:32
  allow, do not restrict, do not restraint.
• 1:16:35
  Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.
• 1:16:41
  Jesus did not just win because He was the Son of God.
• 1:16:44
  There was a mindset that kept victory in His life.
• 1:16:48
  Let me tell you the truth, even if Satan is not in existence, a
• 1:16:53
  poor mediocre mindset already tends to defeat Hallelujah
• 1:17:01
  mindsets. The decision to be transformed.
• 1:17:07
  Let me have two people here. 2 gentlemen, 2 gentlemen, you come
• 1:17:11
  and another one. Please come very quickly.
• 1:17:13
  Come one stand by my left, the other stand by my right.
• 1:17:18
  Thank you. Watch this, everybody.
• 1:17:20
  So these are two people, both born again.
• 1:17:24
  They are saved. Are we together now?
• 1:17:27
  When I come to you, let's say this gentleman, look at this.
• 1:17:33
  He's saved, but he's not transformed.
• 1:17:36
  He's not known the value of things like honor.
• 1:17:39
  He's not known the value of things like responsibility and
• 1:17:42
  diligence. This man can see me and just
• 1:17:44
  brush his shoulder, and I have within my power to help him.
• 1:17:49
  This guy can recycle pain right now because of a law he
• 1:17:53
  violated. And it is the absence of
• 1:17:55
  transformation, not redemption. Redemption is there, but
• 1:17:59
  transformation was not there. And he will still suffer as if
• 1:18:03
  he's not saved. Are we together?
• 1:18:06
  Whereas this gentleman, because he came to church and in
• 1:18:09
  addition to his being saved, he's learned the law of honor,
• 1:18:12
  that when doors close, they close because of dishonor to
• 1:18:15
  God, to men, and to principles. This gentleman can see me and
• 1:18:19
  say, good afternoon, Sir, no stand ups, you don't have to
• 1:18:22
  deal. Are we together?
• 1:18:24
  Good afternoon, Sir. And I can look at him and say,
• 1:18:26
  young man, I this, I mean, you must have been mentored by a
• 1:18:30
  good pastor. So what do you do?
• 1:18:33
  Or I'm a graduate trusting God for a job.
• 1:18:35
  Can you do the work of a secretary?
• 1:18:37
  You call it breakthrough. In one minute a door opens.
• 1:18:41
  Now watch this. The difference is not
• 1:18:44
  redemption. They are both saved, but this
• 1:18:47
  man, either through structured mentorship or the responsibility
• 1:18:52
  of getting materials to transform his mind, he's got a
• 1:18:55
  superior belief. He's understood life.
• 1:18:59
  Are we together now? Now look up.
• 1:19:10
  I can give this gentleman $1000. I don't know how much that adds
• 1:19:15
  up to your Ghana CD or $1000. 15,000 Ghana C DS, am I right?
• 1:19:25
  Well, 15 or 16 is around the same corridor.
• 1:19:27
  So now you look at me. So I'm giving this guy $1000.
• 1:19:31
  I'm giving this guy $1000. But because of transformation,
• 1:19:35
  he's learned to delay gratification.
• 1:19:38
  Are we together now? And rather than living a fake
• 1:19:41
  life, he can take that $1000 out of it, go to the bookstore and
• 1:19:46
  buy materials from people he may never meet physically, but he
• 1:19:49
  can distill their ideas and use them like ladders to watch a
• 1:19:53
  superior life. He can take $100 or $200 from
• 1:19:59
  that and go and sow to a man of God and receive a prophetic
• 1:20:02
  blessing. He can take $100, take it to his
• 1:20:05
  mother and say, Mama, I may not have.
• 1:20:08
  But I know the value of honor. Please take this and bless me.
• 1:20:12
  Look at what he's doing with his $1000.
• 1:20:14
  This gentleman, even though a churchgoer, can waste the money
• 1:20:20
  like a prodigal son because he's not been educated enough to know
• 1:20:25
  that it is up to you what you do with it at the end of it.
• 1:20:30
  Through that $1000, this guy has a prophetic word, a blessing,
• 1:20:34
  wisdom. He's saved enough, whereas this
• 1:20:41
  guy has destroyed every other thing.
• 1:20:44
  Both of them will come to God and they will ask him, why did
• 1:20:48
  you succeed? He will say God.
• 1:20:50
  Why did you fail? He will say God.
• 1:20:53
  Both of them blame their results on God and God says no.
• 1:20:58
  I gave both of you the same gift, the power to choose.
• 1:21:02
  You gather information that helped you to choose wise.
• 1:21:05
  That is the power of revelation and wisdom.
• 1:21:08
  This man ignored wisdom and even in the midst of opportunity, he
• 1:21:12
  still destroyed it. Maybe I just described somebody
• 1:21:15
  in this place right now. You may be this man on your way
• 1:21:19
  towards a great destiny, or this man.
• 1:21:22
  Any of these two depends on your determination to be transformed.
• 1:21:33
  Do not tell me I am born again. The riches that are in this life
• 1:21:40
  you have received flows to a transformed mind.
• 1:21:44
  If your mind is not transformed, the potential of your being
• 1:21:48
  saved cannot be made manifest. Who is learning tonight?
• 1:21:56
  Are we together? Transformation.
• 1:22:02
  It is part of transformation to know that getting materials to
• 1:22:06
  build your mind is better than getting clothes to live a fake
• 1:22:10
  life. For now, dress your mind and
• 1:22:14
  your mind would dress your body, but dress your body and leave
• 1:22:26
  your mind. Your mind will have to strip the
• 1:22:29
  clothes on your body to cover its shame.
• 1:22:32
  The choice is yours. So you see someone who is at
• 1:22:38
  this point buying a Bible, buying materials, travelling
• 1:22:42
  from place to place, praying every day.
• 1:22:45
  This gentleman may be in one small room, fasting and praying
• 1:22:49
  every time you meet him, studying and you are like Mister
• 1:22:52
  man, don't you enjoy your life? He knows that every time does
• 1:22:55
  not provide every opportunity. I must walk the works of heap
• 1:22:59
  that sent me while it is day for the night.
• 1:23:03
  Comet on every man. Someone learning now this is
• 1:23:10
  what you get when you come to church.
• 1:23:12
  Transformation. You will walk out of this place
• 1:23:14
  right now. And your friends who were your
• 1:23:17
  friends yesterday, you are not even aware that they are no
• 1:23:19
  longer your friends now as you are seated now because something
• 1:23:22
  transformation has produced dissociation.
• 1:23:26
  The next time they call you, you will not have a common ground
• 1:23:29
  for discussion. That's when you will know you
• 1:23:31
  have grown the things you were discussing yesterday your your
• 1:23:37
  priorities and your interests have been altered.
• 1:23:39
  Now while you hear them speaking on mediocre things, gossiping
• 1:23:43
  about others, you tell them, you know what I really don't have
• 1:23:46
  that passion again. And I don't mean to be rude.
• 1:23:48
  I, I have seen that if I waste this gift God gave me and I'm
• 1:23:53
  not ready to allow you make me waste that gift.
• 1:23:57
  I want my child tomorrow to be able to say mommy, thank you.
• 1:24:00
  Thank you for listening to this man of God.
• 1:24:08
  You can be this man right here, saved but not transformed.
• 1:24:13
  No passion for the word, no passion for truth, no passion
• 1:24:17
  for destiny altering decisions or destiny altering information.
• 1:24:22
  What do you know about leadership?
• 1:24:25
  What do you know about organization?
• 1:24:26
  What do you know about responsibility?
• 1:24:29
  What do you know about success? What do you know about victory?
• 1:24:32
  What do you know about an excelling life?
• 1:24:34
  What do you know about failure? All of these have already been
• 1:24:38
  trapped and distilled in a man's pain.
• 1:24:40
  The pain you want to go to someone has gone to it for you.
• 1:24:44
  And he took from his pain and put together a material that in
• 1:24:49
  30 minutes can deliver you for the next 30 years.
• 1:24:57
  Is someone learning? I made-up my mind that I will
• 1:25:00
  not only be a preacher, I will be a transformed preacher.
• 1:25:07
  Transform, transform My brother, my sister, listen to me.
• 1:25:16
  For some of you, you are the first person right now in your
• 1:25:19
  family that God is counting on to rise.
• 1:25:22
  Don't disappoint destiny. Did you hear what I said?
• 1:25:25
  Don't disappoint destiny. Don't sit back and disappoint
• 1:25:28
  destiny once you are seated. Now imagine your children born
• 1:25:33
  on born. Imagine them saying, mommy,
• 1:25:35
  listen to this man, listen to this man, listen to this
• 1:25:40
  preacher. But you can still use that
• 1:25:45
  wheel. I'm saying you know what is
• 1:25:49
  talking nonsense. I have made my own choice.
• 1:25:52
  My own is to encourage you to make that choice.
• 1:25:57
  Thank you gentlemen. The Lord honor you the decision
• 1:26:00
  to be transformed. Listen to me this night when you
• 1:26:05
  go back home, write the various areas of your life where you
• 1:26:12
  know you are in ignorance and start pursuing knowledge.
• 1:26:16
  Go online. This is the healthy use of
• 1:26:19
  Internet. Run away from all these groups
• 1:26:22
  talking nonsense and wasting your time.
• 1:26:24
  They're helping you choose in a demonic way that would destroy
• 1:26:27
  your life. I love the Lord as a man of God,
• 1:26:31
  but my last compromise was because of finances.
• 1:26:34
  I think I need to add financial knowledge so that I don't I, I
• 1:26:38
  don't start practicing things as a man of God.
• 1:26:41
  I I know my conscience tells me manipulating members is demonic,
• 1:26:45
  but I need the money. So what do you do?
• 1:26:47
  You go and get a material God's financial system enter and the
• 1:26:53
  Holy Spirit who has seen your desire will navigate you to a
• 1:26:56
  message that has distilled all nonsense from sense and in 5
• 1:27:02
  minutes you started journey with dignity.
• 1:27:06
  And from that decision you say I will be a preacher with
• 1:27:09
  integrity. I will never manipulate anybody
• 1:27:14
  for gain. Maybe you are a father beating
• 1:27:19
  your wife every day. Even though you are praying in
• 1:27:21
  tongues, it means there's something you do not understand.
• 1:27:24
  Take responsibility. How to be a godly visionary
• 1:27:30
  father. Spirit of God.
• 1:27:31
  I'm ignorant. I confess my ignorance, but I
• 1:27:34
  don't want this to be this way. Help me and you will find one
• 1:27:37
  material. Oh love your wife.
• 1:27:39
  This is this, this is that. And you can go back with
• 1:27:42
  humility. Honey, I'm sorry you married an
• 1:27:45
  ignorant man, but he's no longer an ignorant man.
• 1:27:48
  I'm on a journey to transformation.
• 1:27:50
  Give me time. Give me one month.
• 1:27:53
  Encourage me while I'm doing that.
• 1:27:55
  And after one month, you have a man.
• 1:27:58
  Every garden you see that is well manicured was done by
• 1:28:02
  someone. No garden fixes itself.
• 1:28:07
  Is someone learning you're a man of God, but nobody's inviting
• 1:28:12
  you, even though you are anointed?
• 1:28:14
  You are anointed, but you do not understand the protocol of honor
• 1:28:17
  and ethics. You come to preach and perhaps
• 1:28:19
  lambast everybody, insult every father of faith there and preach
• 1:28:24
  with your anointing. And while you are preaching,
• 1:28:25
  they are marking you with a red barrel.
• 1:28:27
  Never invite this gentleman again.
• 1:28:29
  Never invite this gentleman again.
• 1:28:31
  And you call it an attack. It's lack of transformation.
• 1:28:34
  It doesn't mean you are bad. It just means you are not
• 1:28:37
  transformed. Who is God speaking to?
• 1:28:42
  So enter a covenant. Am I wasting your time?
• 1:28:47
  This is how to upgrade an old version of you.
• 1:28:51
  Is giving way for a new version of you now Possible.
• 1:28:56
  But everybody who can bless me does not like me.
• 1:28:59
  Let me tell you why. Because all you do is call them,
• 1:29:02
  disturbing them to ask them for money.
• 1:29:04
  Nobody has that time to carry an extra luggage.
• 1:29:07
  Why don't you try this? Send them a text.
• 1:29:10
  Sir, just thinking about the last help you showed me in
• 1:29:14
  October last year. I just wanted to send a text to
• 1:29:17
  tell you. I'm still grateful.
• 1:29:18
  God bless you. That's it.
• 1:29:22
  The man who reads that text says, my wife, look at this now
• 1:29:27
  the Holy Spirit can walk upon their mind in honor to your
• 1:29:30
  transformation and say this lady in this day of pervasion, so
• 1:29:36
  there is a lady that can have this kind of discipline, let's
• 1:29:38
  call and help her again and the call comes.
• 1:29:41
  Whereas you would have been pleading for 1000 Ghana C DS,
• 1:29:45
  they will now give you 15,000 Ghana C DS by transformation
• 1:29:51
  because every time you are grateful, you make the person
• 1:29:54
  who gave you one to give again. Every time you are grateful,
• 1:29:58
  whether to God or to man, let me tell you, rather than begging,
• 1:30:02
  be grateful. It achieves the same result, but
• 1:30:07
  one carries honor and the other one carries this honor.
• 1:30:11
  When you are grateful is a way to ask for more without asking
• 1:30:16
  for more. Are we learning transformation?
• 1:30:27
  Learn to tell people thank you. I hope I'm not wasting your time
• 1:30:31
  If we wherever we stop this. I didn't come to waste your
• 1:30:34
  time. I came to show you what you can
• 1:30:37
  see the result now. Right now you can know that you
• 1:30:40
  are changing. There are many of you.
• 1:30:43
  The simple reason why doors have closed is because you don't know
• 1:30:47
  how to say thank you. You will beg with 1000 text
• 1:30:52
  messages and say thank you with one word thanks and the person
• 1:31:00
  looks at your text and says I will never help this specific
• 1:31:03
  game. It's not an attack, it is
• 1:31:06
  calamity you bring upon yourself by not using your power to
• 1:31:10
  decide. Tonight everyone here you can
• 1:31:14
  make up your mind that as soon as we share the grace, I will
• 1:31:17
  find the five people who God has used to invest in my life in a
• 1:31:22
  way and send thank you to all of them and they will call you and
• 1:31:26
  say what for you Say I came to church and I was mentored
• 1:31:30
  methodically that one of the ways I use my will is to contend
• 1:31:35
  for transformation. You'll be surprised you will
• 1:31:37
  invite someone tomorrow without saying come transformation.
• 1:31:46
  How about apologizing when you are wrong?
• 1:31:48
  Culture tells us when you are wrong.
• 1:31:50
  Fight and act as if you are not wrong.
• 1:31:52
  Look at the trouble it has brought.
• 1:31:54
  Battles that are your concern and battles that are not your
• 1:31:57
  concern. You are still fighting them.
• 1:31:59
  Battles with no reward. I am sorry has sent nations to
• 1:32:03
  war. Lack of saying it I'm sorry
• 1:32:06
  because we interpret I'm sorry as I am weak.
• 1:32:10
  I am sorry means I am so superior.
• 1:32:13
  I will not let my ego stop my advancement.
• 1:32:18
  There are marriages today that should not have broken simply
• 1:32:21
  because somebody was too proud. To say I'm sorry.
• 1:32:25
  I'm sorry means I am better today than I was yesterday.
• 1:32:28
  We are human and we all make mistakes.
• 1:32:31
  Maybe I should teach you. Everybody say I'm sorry one more
• 1:32:34
  time. You see how he's stinging your
• 1:32:37
  ego while you are saying it? Say it till it dies.
• 1:32:40
  Say I'm sorry, sorry. This is what it means to be
• 1:32:51
  transformed. Don't just look for anointing
• 1:32:54
  power, power, power. There is a place for that, but
• 1:32:57
  the value of power is that it is invested upon a transformed
• 1:33:01
  mind. When power is invested upon a
• 1:33:05
  mind that is not transformed is like pouring water in a
• 1:33:08
  container with holes. It will not retain.
• 1:33:17
  This is only 2 / 7. Imagine what happens when you
• 1:33:20
  make 7 / 7. How could your destiny remain
• 1:33:23
  the same? Are you now seeing that you've
• 1:33:26
  been blaming God for many things?
• 1:33:28
  You are learning now by yourself that truly it is not God's
• 1:33:32
  fault. So I do not know this much.
• 1:33:36
  This is why you should honor your Bishop and his wife for
• 1:33:39
  making this meeting happen because it has become the basis
• 1:33:43
  for your transformation. It's true.
• 1:33:49
  Please be seated. Have a few minutes.
• 1:33:53
  But let's see what we're able to do.
• 1:33:54
  Who is learning tonight? Transformation.
• 1:33:57
  Make up your mind. I will never shout foolishly at
• 1:34:00
  people again and say that's how we are in our family.
• 1:34:03
  Change, change. Nobody's like that is a lie.
• 1:34:08
  There is nobody who is temper us by default.
• 1:34:11
  You allow demon spirits to capitalize on your will.
• 1:34:14
  You can change. A soft answer turns away wrath.
• 1:34:20
  Oppose. You don't know me.
• 1:34:21
  As quiet as I am when that thing comes on me, stop it from coming
• 1:34:24
  on you. Stop it from coming on you.
• 1:34:27
  Stop it from coming on you. Is someone learning what I'm
• 1:34:30
  saying? Stop it from coming on you tell
• 1:34:34
  yourself. I will be decent, modest with
• 1:34:37
  words. I will not be chaliced with my
• 1:34:38
  life again. No, the value of my spirituality
• 1:34:42
  would translate to my excellence.
• 1:34:44
  It will be clear that I know God and I love God.
• 1:34:48
  This is a way of a superior mind transformation.
• 1:34:59
  Have I challenged someone enough?
• 1:35:02
  So go back tonight. No gossiping again.
• 1:35:06
  Block those pages. Get to walk, get to work.
• 1:35:11
  If your friend calls you and says I have something to tell
• 1:35:14
  her, Oh well, I'm sorry, I'm on a project right now.
• 1:35:16
  Don't be offended. I'm on a project.
• 1:35:18
  The name of the project is Advancement.
• 1:35:20
  The name of the project is going forward.
• 1:35:23
  The name of the project is Upgrade.
• 1:35:30
  Let's hurry up #3 let me see if I'm able to touch one or two
• 1:35:35
  more. Thank you #3 The third decision
• 1:35:44
  you must make. You want to upgrade your life.
• 1:35:49
  You want to use this gift God gave you is the decision to
• 1:35:53
  discover and fulfill your God-given assignment.
• 1:35:59
  The decision to discover and fulfill your God ordained
• 1:36:05
  assignment. I'll not talk much here.
• 1:36:10
  It's clear enough. Your God ordained assignment
• 1:36:15
  Hebrews 10 and verse 7. Lo, I come in the volume of the
• 1:36:19
  book as it is written of me to do Thy will, O God.
• 1:36:23
  It is written concerning every man.
• 1:36:26
  There is a role you have to play in destiny.
• 1:36:29
  Do not rob your generation of an opportunity to experience God
• 1:36:32
  through your life, through the efficiency of your witness.
• 1:36:36
  Stop escorting orders around the corridors of destiny.
• 1:36:39
  There is a place for you. Find it by the Spirit.
• 1:36:44
  My life changed many years ago. The daily revetment.
• 1:36:47
  He's going to be with the Lord now, his book Discovering your
• 1:36:51
  Purpose, Doctor Miles Monroe. I read that book and it
• 1:36:55
  revolutionized my life completely.
• 1:36:58
  Thank God that even though he's gone, his thoughts are still
• 1:37:03
  there. Go and buy the truth, use
• 1:37:05
  humility as a currency by the truth, and learn all you can
• 1:37:10
  about your destiny. Many people depend on your
• 1:37:13
  destiny and many people are waiting for you to manifest in
• 1:37:17
  your rising is their rising. Do not fail #4 The fourth
• 1:37:23
  decision, and I want everybody to listen carefully.
• 1:37:29
  A very major decision is the decision to be healthy and
• 1:37:35
  physically sound. You will think this is just a
• 1:37:38
  passive decision that should not be mentioned in church.
• 1:37:44
  If you are not healthy, you would die.
• 1:37:46
  Let me tell you that I'm not professor Hindu.
• 1:37:49
  I'm telling you the laws and the consequences that follow.
• 1:37:52
  Are we together now? Please look up.
• 1:37:55
  Everyone is given the gift of 1 body per lifetime.
• 1:38:00
  One body per lifetime. You don't have access to two.
• 1:38:04
  It's not recorded in Scripture. One body per lifetime.
• 1:38:08
  To hold to host your spirit and keeping that body healthy, to
• 1:38:14
  host your spirit for as long as it would take to live your
• 1:38:17
  assignment is your responsibility.
• 1:38:20
  Are we together? God will support you with His
• 1:38:23
  Word, with His Spirit, with His power, with His grace, but
• 1:38:28
  remaining healthy enough so that your spirit can live
• 1:38:32
  comfortably. When your body deteriorates
• 1:38:35
  beyond a certain threshold, your spirit will have to live.
• 1:38:39
  Even if it's not your time. Make up your mind that I will be
• 1:38:43
  healthy. If you're a man of God here, let
• 1:38:45
  me encourage you in love. There are many men of God today,
• 1:38:50
  with all due respect, who are sick because of carelessness
• 1:38:53
  with their bodies, not their spirits, their bodies.
• 1:38:58
  Are we together? One of our doctors was telling
• 1:39:04
  me that many people today with kidney problems, a major cause
• 1:39:09
  of the kidney problem is that they don't drink water.
• 1:39:12
  They don't drink water. Are we together?
• 1:39:15
  And you know in Africa sometimes we because of the backgrounds we
• 1:39:19
  came from, when you get to a restaurant, you take Coca-Cola
• 1:39:23
  and Fanta and chicken, no water. You say give me 3 bottles.
• 1:39:27
  I've suffered. I've suffered in this life.
• 1:39:31
  So you are on a revenge mission. And as you go all those things,
• 1:39:38
  remember the sons of the prophet said there is death in the pots.
• 1:39:42
  Even the pots can carry death. You have to be aware of what you
• 1:39:46
  eat. Are we together?
• 1:39:49
  You've heard my story for some of you.
• 1:39:52
  During my retreats, I take out time and I do an inventory of my
• 1:39:55
  life. And one time I found out for
• 1:39:58
  three years in a row, I wasn't necessarily sick, but my health
• 1:40:02
  was the worst performing area in my life.
• 1:40:06
  I was just not. And you know, because of the
• 1:40:08
  anointing. When you see so much of healing
• 1:40:10
  and signs and wonders, you feel guilty taking care of your body.
• 1:40:14
  After all, the power of the Holy Ghost is there.
• 1:40:16
  Do you know Elijah died? Do you know what killed Elijah?
• 1:40:20
  The anointing remained while life left.
• 1:40:22
  Did you hear what I said? The anointing remained on Elijah
• 1:40:27
  while life left. Don't cover that testimony that
• 1:40:33
  their life left but their anointing still remain on the
• 1:40:36
  dead body, on the sick body till he died.
• 1:40:42
  You can be very anointed and still die.
• 1:40:46
  Take care of your body. I encourage my people.
• 1:40:50
  I charge them. In fact, at the end of the year,
• 1:40:53
  I insist upon them to go for a medical checkup.
• 1:40:56
  You are a man of faith, So what are you afraid of?
• 1:41:00
  Go for a medical checkup, find out what in the world is going
• 1:41:03
  on in that body so that if there is a call for emergency, you
• 1:41:07
  know how to appropriate Gods power fast.
• 1:41:10
  But living in denial until you deteriorate to a point where it
• 1:41:15
  depletes your finances, your health, other people who have to
• 1:41:18
  pack up their jobs to maintain you, and eventually you still
• 1:41:21
  die. Is someone learning?
• 1:41:27
  You will thank me for what you are learning.
• 1:41:29
  You are calling it an upgrade For some of you, nothing is
• 1:41:32
  wrong with your transformation, but the level of carelessness
• 1:41:35
  with your body, God is calling you to order right now.
• 1:41:39
  You see young people 20 years 3035 high blood pressure having
• 1:41:44
  all kinds of things. What does a young man have to do
• 1:41:47
  with high blood pressure Because of the careless use of this
• 1:41:51
  body? This body is a gift.
• 1:41:53
  Use it well, use it well, use it well.
• 1:41:59
  Hallelujah. So for someone you will be
• 1:42:03
  healed, though in the name of Jesus you have any pain, you are
• 1:42:07
  going to be healed in the name of Jesus Christ, but you have a
• 1:42:11
  responsibility when God starts increasing you financially.
• 1:42:16
  Before you buy clothes, invest in your health.
• 1:42:20
  Don't put clothes on a dying body.
• 1:42:28
  And don't say it is lack of faith to go for a medical check
• 1:42:31
  up. Doctor, check me from head to
• 1:42:34
  toe. Please let me know what is
• 1:42:36
  wrong. If the healing powers are
• 1:42:38
  working, you medicine will show that you are all right.
• 1:42:41
  This headache that happens all the time, what is the cause?
• 1:42:46
  Oh, this and that and that. Adjust this, adjust that, adjust
• 1:42:49
  it. That's all and you are free.
• 1:42:51
  Otherwise you will keep driving it carelessly until one day you
• 1:42:55
  find out that you fell somewhere in the marketplace and they took
• 1:42:59
  you to the hospital. Which one is more embarrassing?
• 1:43:01
  To carry yourself to the hospital and be treated or to be
• 1:43:05
  carried to the hospital because what you are afraid of will
• 1:43:11
  still happen if you don't take your health seriously.
• 1:43:15
  Extend this. Talk to your parents and your
• 1:43:18
  loved ones. Let me tell you what a medical
• 1:43:20
  professor taught me, Sir. He said after every 10 years
• 1:43:23
  cycle in your life, the dynamics of living changes.
• 1:43:27
  That means from 20 to 30, the dynamics of living changes 30 to
• 1:43:32
  40. It changes 40 to 50.
• 1:43:35
  That means the strategy you deploy should be part 10 years
• 1:43:38
  cycle. By the time you clock 40, you
• 1:43:41
  can't live like 20 again. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
• 1:43:55
  You. Don't like what you're hearing?
• 1:43:59
  Your health? Go back this night and make up
• 1:44:04
  your mind. Some of you need to go and get
• 1:44:06
  supplements. Responsible organic supplements.
• 1:44:10
  While you are praying in tongues, you tell yourself I
• 1:44:12
  wouldn't die. My grandfather died.
• 1:44:14
  It was witchcraft to carelessness.
• 1:44:18
  But I will block that door. The power of God will deal with
• 1:44:21
  the witchcraft while my will deals with the carelessness
• 1:44:24
  part. That's the partnership that
• 1:44:26
  keeps you long. That's why I told you longevity
• 1:44:28
  is a choice. When you say you choose life,
• 1:44:30
  you don't just say I choose life.
• 1:44:32
  You make pro-life decisions. This is what the church is
• 1:44:37
  about. You should be mentored in church
• 1:44:39
  that you go back home as a father and gather your family
• 1:44:42
  tomorrow and say listen, as the priest of this home, I've come
• 1:44:46
  with a new resolution. We are going to be healthy in
• 1:44:49
  this family. Can the men say Amen and then
• 1:44:54
  the women answer to and go back to the kitchen and did so many
• 1:44:58
  things in that kitchen and say in the name of Jesus, we will
• 1:45:01
  live long. Don't kill yourself because of
• 1:45:04
  what enters your mouth #5 We have to wrap up Takoradi.
• 1:45:13
  You invited me to come and teach on upgrade.
• 1:45:21
  This is what it means to be upgraded decisions.
• 1:45:27
  Your health, your health, your health.
• 1:45:34
  Number six, number what #5 the decision to be financially
• 1:45:43
  empowered, Just write it. Many people shout like this and
• 1:45:49
  it still doesn't work. Just write it.
• 1:45:53
  The decision to be financially empowered.
• 1:45:57
  Let me tell you the truth. Look at me, beloved people, I
• 1:45:59
  love you with all my heart and I came to bless you.
• 1:46:02
  No matter what good happens in your life, if finance is not
• 1:46:06
  part of them, you will suffer whether you believe it or not.
• 1:46:10
  You just rest once and for all and don't even try to argue
• 1:46:14
  about it. If your finance is not working,
• 1:46:18
  eventually even your spiritual life will be affected.
• 1:46:23
  Do you know what took Israel to Egypt?
• 1:46:26
  Hunger. Not witchcraft, hunger.
• 1:46:29
  Hunger always takes Israel to Egypt.
• 1:46:33
  Genesis 42 from was 1 and 2. The Bible says Jacob even as a
• 1:46:38
  prophet he heard he saw that there was corn where in Egypt
• 1:46:44
  corn was not the problem. The location.
• 1:46:48
  I hear that there is money, but that man is a very powerless
• 1:46:52
  man. So there's money, but the
• 1:46:54
  problem is the person and the location and he looked upon his
• 1:46:59
  sons. Why do you look upon one
• 1:47:02
  another? Verse 2 give us verse 2 media
• 1:47:08
  Genesis 42 and verse 2. And he said, behold, I have
• 1:47:13
  heard that there is Khan where in Egypt he said get you down
• 1:47:18
  cheetah, and buy for us from there that we may leave and not
• 1:47:23
  die. Without Khan, you would die even
• 1:47:26
  if you are a prophet. Let me tell you, one of the
• 1:47:32
  enhancers of integrity is prosperity, one of the
• 1:47:38
  enhancers. There are many temptations that
• 1:47:42
  die naturally when God has shown you mercy financially.
• 1:47:47
  The strength of temptation is its seductive nature.
• 1:47:51
  That means it appeals to a need that is within you.
• 1:47:55
  But once that need has been overcome through the abundant
• 1:47:58
  help of God, it does not work again.
• 1:48:01
  Are we together now? If you bring me baby food now
• 1:48:05
  and you say I possibly be tempted, you can't tempt me with
• 1:48:08
  it. Bit like what babies eat baby
• 1:48:11
  food or you put breast milk in a filling bottle.
• 1:48:16
  I would think you brought it for me to pray on it.
• 1:48:18
  I will end up praying on it. It can be a temptation.
• 1:48:22
  Are we together now? So temptations happen because
• 1:48:27
  they connect to a need. That's the character of the
• 1:48:30
  spirit of seduction. It looks for something you
• 1:48:33
  desire and then connects to it for your destruction.
• 1:48:38
  Make up your mind as a decision tonight that I will not be poor,
• 1:48:42
  Not by jumping penalty. I know I like money.
• 1:48:45
  I'm obsessed about money. No, a responsible approach from
• 1:48:49
  a Kingdom standpoint, knowing that lack of finances can push
• 1:48:54
  you to Sodom. I made-up my mind that I will
• 1:49:00
  never manipulate anybody to come and preach #2 I made-up my mind
• 1:49:06
  that I will never inconvenience any ministry telling them give
• 1:49:10
  me 10 naira or give me this. It's an honor and a privilege to
• 1:49:16
  serve Jesus with all my heart. And before I came here, I'd been
• 1:49:19
  blessing people. And after I've gone, you will
• 1:49:21
  still raise people. Integrity is enhanced.
• 1:49:25
  Listen to me, by prosperity, if you make up your mind that you
• 1:49:30
  will not prosper, you are doing a disservice to yourself, your
• 1:49:35
  children and your children. Children, There are many ladies
• 1:49:38
  today who should not have been prostitutes but because of this
• 1:49:41
  finance thing, there are many young people.
• 1:49:43
  I don't know if it happens in Ghana.
• 1:49:45
  We have this thing in Nigeria where you know some of these are
• 1:49:49
  young boys, fraud and all of that.
• 1:49:51
  Does it happen here in this place too?
• 1:50:03
  I hope you're not one of them. If you're one of them, you can
• 1:50:09
  choose. I told you about choice.
• 1:50:11
  You can choose. Let me have your attention.
• 1:50:14
  Let me have your attention. Our time is up.
• 1:50:16
  The decision to be financially free.
• 1:50:18
  Can I be honest with you? Ladies and gentlemen, the
• 1:50:21
  efficiency of your destiny, including ministry, is at the
• 1:50:25
  mercy of abundant financial resources.
• 1:50:29
  Don't be poor, don't be poor. Make up your mind.
• 1:50:33
  I will not be poor. Now there are those who say this
• 1:50:38
  and it's simply the flesh is just carnality.
• 1:50:42
  That's not what I'm teaching you.
• 1:50:44
  Make up your mind. If you truly love Jesus, don't
• 1:50:47
  be poor. If you truly love your children,
• 1:50:50
  don't be poor and don't allow mediocres.
• 1:50:52
  Bring words and say don't worry, it doesn't matter.
• 1:50:54
  It does matter. There are many people who have
• 1:50:57
  gotten into depression because of rent.
• 1:51:01
  You are a better Christian if you live in your own house.
• 1:51:04
  If you serve God in your own house, you can lock it up and
• 1:51:06
  have a night vigil and not be afraid.
• 1:51:08
  You can move to a neighborhood that allows you to serve God
• 1:51:11
  acceptably. How do you say that does not
• 1:51:13
  matter. You can send your children to a
• 1:51:16
  school whose curriculum honors God and you are aware of it.
• 1:51:22
  Well, I've made my decision. I came as a midwife to help you
• 1:51:26
  make your decision. But by all godly means, make up
• 1:51:30
  your mind tonight. Even if you don't know your way
• 1:51:32
  out. Tell yourself that in the name
• 1:51:35
  of Jesus, my children will not have to ask me a question
• 1:51:38
  tomorrow and say when God was helping others, where were you?
• 1:51:42
  That as a man of God, one day you will not get into the
• 1:51:45
  ministry of manipulation. God is trying to sanitize the
• 1:51:49
  church. Partner with what God is doing
• 1:51:51
  so that this money, money, money thing that has destroyed the
• 1:51:54
  church, we Kick It Out and serve God with integrity.
• 1:52:03
  But let me tell you an honest fruit.
• 1:52:05
  If I stand here and I'm hungry and I'm not fasting with the
• 1:52:09
  gift of prophecy on me, you think I will not say something
• 1:52:12
  about your life that I would transact it to meet my need?
• 1:52:18
  When I'm hungry and I'm owing and they're going to jail me
• 1:52:22
  tomorrow and I see that there's $1,000,000 in your account,
• 1:52:26
  you're joking. I will call you and say stand
• 1:52:29
  here first in a special place. Let me finish with other people
• 1:52:33
  and I'll see you personally. There are many temptations that
• 1:52:37
  are resistible. The cure is to be empowered.
• 1:52:51
  Within the boundary of modesty, when your children are doing
• 1:52:54
  well, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic, when your wife is
• 1:52:59
  doing well, when your husband is doing well, you can stand with
• 1:53:03
  integrity and preach Jesus, knowing that you will not drop
• 1:53:07
  the mic and have to go to jail tomorrow because you are owing
• 1:53:11
  in your rent. I'm praying for someone in the
• 1:53:14
  name of Jesus, May God, who is called Ebenezer, the one who
• 1:53:18
  helps men, who takes away shame from their life.
• 1:53:22
  May that God help you, Ghana. May that God help you, Takoradi,
• 1:53:28
  in the name of Jesus. I pray for every man,
• 1:53:32
  particularly the grace for structural establishment, that
• 1:53:37
  you will have enough to take care of your family and rid
• 1:53:40
  yourself of the temptation of compromise.
• 1:53:44
  Receive that grace in the name of Jesus.
• 1:53:52
  Sit down and let's wrap up, please.
• 1:53:54
  Thank you for your patience. Number six, I'll touch on it
• 1:53:59
  quickly. The decision to build Destiny
• 1:54:05
  relationships. The decision to build Destiny
• 1:54:11
  relationships. Let me answer a question that
• 1:54:15
  Bishop asked before introducing me.
• 1:54:19
  He said that there are a few preachers who had said perhaps
• 1:54:22
  they were trying to get me to preach once and maybe my
• 1:54:26
  schedule has not allowed. Why have I come here three
• 1:54:29
  times? I will tell you that.
• 1:54:31
  Number one, because I love Jesus #2 because I love you honestly,
• 1:54:35
  but #3 because of my relationship with Him and his
• 1:54:39
  dear wife. Are you learning?
• 1:54:46
  Now? Look at me.
• 1:54:48
  If you have to use money to buy everything in your life, wisdom
• 1:54:53
  is not at work in your life. There are many things you will
• 1:54:57
  purchase in your life, paid for by relationships.
• 1:55:02
  You are as wealthy as your relationships, not just your
• 1:55:05
  bank accounts. Are we together?
• 1:55:10
  But they are still grounded because they are not.
• 1:55:12
  Wealthy in relationships. Who likes you matters.
• 1:55:16
  Who hates you does not matter. Leave the naysayers they are.
• 1:55:20
  Hating you does not count. Anything to your destiny?
• 1:55:22
  At all but who likes you? If you are Esther, pray that
• 1:55:27
  Hazaros will like you, else you will remain in Shushan.
• 1:55:31
  If you are Ruth, pray that Boaz will like you if you are
• 1:55:35
  Abraham. Pray that abimelech.
• 1:55:37
  Will like you. If you are Lot, pray that
• 1:55:40
  Abraham will like you. Who likes you matters.
• 1:55:45
  Lot was not necessarily a wise man, so said his later
• 1:55:49
  decisions. But because he went with
• 1:55:52
  Abraham, everything Abraham had also came to Lot.
• 1:55:59
  Productivity is important, but relationships?
• 1:56:02
  Are a mysterious leverage. I have learned this in my life
• 1:56:09
  and may be true in your life from.
• 1:56:10
  Tonight. Not every relationship.
• 1:56:13
  Is equally. Valuable You have to learn there
• 1:56:18
  are general relationships, there are seasonal relationships, and
• 1:56:23
  there are destiny relationships. General relationships.
• 1:56:28
  Be nice to all men, anybody you meet at all.
• 1:56:31
  Seasonal relationships, People who come into your life.
• 1:56:35
  But there is a timing to their value, so receive quickly what
• 1:56:39
  they have to deliver before the time is exhausted.
• 1:56:42
  And there are destiny relationships.
• 1:56:44
  You fight to keep those relationships.
• 1:56:46
  You swallow your pride. For instance, if Jesus wants to
• 1:56:51
  leave your boat, kneel down and beg him to stay.
• 1:56:54
  Don't say it doesn't matter if Jesus leaves your boat.
• 1:56:59
  What happened to Jonah? What happened to you?
• 1:57:03
  Two men were troubled. The difference?
• 1:57:05
  Was who was in their boat. For one, Jonah was.
• 1:57:09
  In the boat he brought loss and depletion.
• 1:57:11
  They almost died. He.
• 1:57:13
  Suggested their survival strategy, said throw me out and
• 1:57:16
  leave. But for another person.
• 1:57:18
  Jesus was in the boat since Tom arose, but because of one
• 1:57:22
  relationship in the boat, they were preserved.
• 1:57:25
  Who you carry determines whether you arrive.
• 1:57:34
  Are we? Together, let me tell you the
• 1:57:36
  truth, When God wants to help you, he.
• 1:57:39
  Shortens the distance between you and a destiny helper.
• 1:57:44
  When a destiny helper holds your hands, he can bring acceleration
• 1:57:48
  to your life. John chapter.
• 1:57:50
  Five and verse 7, The man who laid down at Bethesda, the Bible
• 1:57:54
  says that man when Jesus came to him after 38 years of suffering,
• 1:57:59
  he said will thou be made holy? And the man said I have no man.
• 1:58:04
  That was his problem. There's no relationship that can
• 1:58:07
  be a leverage to my healing. I have no man.
• 1:58:11
  I'm an anointed man of God, but I have no man who can speak a
• 1:58:15
  good word. I'm a great caterer.
• 1:58:18
  I can cook for kings. It's amazing that those who need
• 1:58:22
  you do not know you are the one they are looking for, so you
• 1:58:25
  will need to leverage on a relationship that has their
• 1:58:28
  ears. Joseph would interpret dreams,
• 1:58:31
  but who would connect him to Pharaoh?
• 1:58:33
  He would have remained in prison there, but the one presser was
• 1:58:37
  the lynx person. I'm praying for you, whoever
• 1:58:40
  must show up in your destiny in this season and connect you to
• 1:58:44
  the next level of your life. I pray that God will send them
• 1:58:47
  speedily. I say it again to a receiver.
• 1:58:52
  May God send them speedily. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 1:59:00
  the Lord. Please sit down.
• 1:59:06
  Relationships are powerful. I had the honor this year to be
• 1:59:11
  invited. By the prestigious Harvard
• 1:59:13
  University to deliver 2 lectures and their schools not to preach
• 1:59:20
  to deliver academic lectures. I'm not a professor.
• 1:59:24
  That's what relationships can do.
• 1:59:26
  I'm I'm not saying this to Bragg.
• 1:59:29
  You have no idea how far relationships can go.
• 1:59:34
  One person's signature, please consider him.
• 1:59:37
  And that's it. There are people praying.
• 1:59:44
  And sweating over visas, binding and casting demons.
• 1:59:48
  Whereas the everybody has ears. That means they were designed to
• 1:59:53
  be relational. What do you think God gave them
• 1:59:55
  ears for? What do you think God gave them
• 1:59:57
  hands for? The most difficult system you
• 2:00:01
  can penetrate it through relationships.
• 2:00:04
  Somebody can like you and say help this person and because his
• 2:00:08
  father. Helped this person's father.
• 2:00:10
  Is there any man in the House of Saul that I may show kindness
• 2:00:14
  for Jonathan's sake? Is someone learning?
• 2:00:20
  Please value relationships. Don't.
• 2:00:22
  Insult people and say it doesn't matter.
• 2:00:23
  I don't. Need men.
• 2:00:24
  All I need is God. You are being sincere, but you
• 2:00:27
  will be punished severely for that level of ignorance when it
• 2:00:31
  has to do with the world of men. You need men.
• 2:00:36
  Even Jesus, as a man, needed men.
• 2:00:40
  My life has been greatly helped today, mercifully.
• 2:00:45
  Helped by God. Because of the ministry of man,
• 2:00:49
  somebody who likes you can give a good word because of you.
• 2:00:53
  This is a great. Person please.
• 2:00:55
  Provide any assistance in my own little way as a man of God.
• 2:00:58
  I have been used by God as a destiny helper.
• 2:01:01
  Apostle, on your honor, please, what can I do for you?
• 2:01:04
  Is it this person? This person?
• 2:01:06
  Let me tell you, there are people in prison today.
• 2:01:09
  Relationship would have brought them out.
• 2:01:11
  They didn't have a relationship. There are people today that
• 2:01:16
  there's there's no job that you are desiring that a relationship
• 2:01:19
  cannot bring for you and you believe me on this again, I pray
• 2:01:23
  for you. You don't need everybody, but
• 2:01:26
  the one person ordained by God to connect to your ministry, to
• 2:01:30
  connect to your destiny, to connect to your family for your
• 2:01:35
  rising. In the name of Jesus, beginning
• 2:01:37
  from this night, may my God allow for that connection in the
• 2:01:42
  name of Jesus. Hallelujah.
• 2:01:50
  Please sit down next time you are writing your streams of.
• 2:01:54
  Income. Add relationships if they ask
• 2:01:58
  you what are your streams of income, don't just say real
• 2:02:00
  estate, tech relationships. Everything money can do,
• 2:02:06
  relationships can do and can do it cheaper.
• 2:02:12
  It is your relationship with Jesus Christ that unfortunately
• 2:02:15
  the. Opportunity to be anointed and
• 2:02:17
  to serve the purposes of. God, people are in hell today
• 2:02:20
  because of relationships or lack of it.
• 2:02:23
  People are with the Lord today in glory because of
• 2:02:25
  relationships. They chose to love Jesus.
• 2:02:29
  They chose to connect to Him. Don't ignore people.
• 2:02:35
  Discern people as they come into.
• 2:02:37
  Your life, this woman. I see that she may look like an
• 2:02:41
  ordinary woman, but I descend that there is a grace upon her.
• 2:02:45
  She has the ears of many people and you invest in the
• 2:02:49
  relationship. Don't be too proud to say sorry.
• 2:02:52
  There are relationships you should never allow.
• 2:02:54
  Go out of your life. It will cost you the the injury
• 2:02:58
  will be too much. Where would I be?
• 2:03:06
  If you left me. Now where would?
• 2:03:11
  I be. If you left me.
• 2:03:15
  Now. Where would I?
• 2:03:18
  Be. I look at my life today as I
• 2:03:38
  prepare to wrap up. I imagine if I rejected Jesus.
• 2:03:42
  Such a priceless relationship. Where would I be now?
• 2:03:46
  Would you ever know about Joshua Selman?
• 2:03:48
  Imagine that I rejected my relationship with the Holy
• 2:03:51
  Spirit. When I talk of relationship, I
• 2:03:53
  don't just mean vertically. Horizontally.
• 2:03:56
  Anything that fights your relationship is fighting your
• 2:03:59
  potential for greatness. Beware of those who come to sow
• 2:04:04
  a seed of discord. Someone who was there lifting
• 2:04:08
  your life. And in one moment they make you
• 2:04:10
  hate your mother, They make you hate your father.
• 2:04:13
  They make you hate your friends. They make you hate your destiny.
• 2:04:16
  Help us. It's an attack.
• 2:04:19
  There are relationships you should never fight.
• 2:04:21
  I hate my pastor. Be careful.
• 2:04:24
  Be careful. They may not be perfect, but be
• 2:04:28
  careful. The connection is to your
• 2:04:29
  advantage. They are not God, but they
• 2:04:32
  represent His program. Are we together?
• 2:04:43
  There are relationships that I maintain jealously.
• 2:04:47
  Jealously. Those relationships.
• 2:04:49
  Are a profound advantage to my life.
• 2:04:53
  I'm not talking of parasitic relationships.
• 2:04:57
  Go and listen to my message. The irrefutable Ministry of
• 2:05:00
  Destiny, help us. You are as powerful as those who
• 2:05:06
  have chosen to stand. With you.
• 2:05:12
  Let me show you a scripture in this conference.
• 2:05:14
  And then we'll wrap up. It's a scripture the Lord showed
• 2:05:17
  me. And it changed my life.
• 2:05:19
  Numbers chapter 1 I believe and verse 5 I'd like you to read as
• 2:05:28
  loud and. As clear, this is a secret to.
• 2:05:32
  A man of God right now. Go ahead, one to read, and these
• 2:05:36
  are the names of the men that shall stand with you.
• 2:05:40
  Stop there, read it again, and these are the names of the men.
• 2:05:48
  Every time God sends you, there are names of men.
• 2:05:52
  Who should stand with you? Stand with you in prayer.
• 2:05:55
  Stand with you financially. It is your assignment to call
• 2:05:59
  them in the place of prayer. There is no man on assignment
• 2:06:03
  who goes alone. Every man on assignment there
• 2:06:06
  are names. Hear me, my dear sister, if it
• 2:06:10
  is true that God has called you to run that business, then there
• 2:06:13
  are names of men that should stand with you.
• 2:06:16
  Man of God, you are alone in ministry, laboring over
• 2:06:19
  everything, because you do not know that there are men.
• 2:06:23
  There are always men. Financial help us, Prayer help
• 2:06:30
  us. Comfort.
• 2:06:31
  US support. Us No, you can't give up.
• 2:06:35
  You fasted too much, you've prayed too much.
• 2:06:38
  The rent issue would not stop you from going for ministry.
• 2:06:41
  Let's work together. This scripture changed my life
• 2:06:46
  when God showed me I'm not. Alone I have God by my.
• 2:06:50
  Side but there are certain men that God has brought to stand.
• 2:06:54
  By me. This is a word of comfort to a
• 2:06:57
  man of God. Don't give up.
• 2:06:58
  In ministry. There are men.
• 2:07:01
  Your assignment is not to look for them.
• 2:07:03
  Your assignment is to call them in the place of prayer.
• 2:07:07
  That church building, going about that church building, just
• 2:07:12
  by using the white X, you'll be frustrated.
• 2:07:15
  There are men already. They may not be Ghanaians.
• 2:07:19
  What they are men sent by God. You can.
• 2:07:22
  Be in Ghana and they can. Be in America, they can be at
• 2:07:25
  the Middle East. The man that was sent to empower
• 2:07:28
  Abraham was called Abimelech. The man that was empowered to to
• 2:07:33
  raise Lot was called Abraham. The man empowered to raise
• 2:07:38
  Esther was called a Hazaros. The man empowered to watch the
• 2:07:41
  tears of Ruth was called Powers. Have you found the man that God
• 2:07:46
  has placed to help you? These are the names of the men,
• 2:07:50
  men that shall stand with you. I know your father has gone to
• 2:07:54
  be with the Lord, for there are men that God has not yet to
• 2:07:58
  stand. I know your mother has gone to
• 2:08:00
  be with the Lord. You are an orphan, but there are
• 2:08:03
  men. You don't look for them, you
• 2:08:06
  call them in the place of prayer.
• 2:08:11
  These are the names of the men. Man of God, that shall stand
• 2:08:16
  with you. There are men ordained by God to
• 2:08:19
  stand with this ministry that you will never go down.
• 2:08:23
  They stand financially, they stand in prayer.
• 2:08:26
  They use their influence, legal influence, political influence.
• 2:08:31
  This is how the economy of God runs.
• 2:08:36
  Listen, I'm wrapping up. I hope you are learning
• 2:08:40
  something this night. For some of you, this right here
• 2:08:44
  is your prayer request for tonight that you go back home
• 2:08:48
  and lie down and say, Father, you called me, where are the
• 2:08:51
  men? Why is getting a visa difficult?
• 2:08:54
  Where are the men anointed to help me at the embassy?
• 2:08:58
  Why is it difficult for me to get a house with integrity?
• 2:09:02
  There are always men. Your advancement is at the mercy
• 2:09:08
  of the men. And the quicker.
• 2:09:12
  You find them, the quicker you arrive.
• 2:09:18
  Is someone learning tonight? Look at this.
• 2:09:24
  Right, there's a gentleman. On camera helping.
• 2:09:28
  To capture this right there, I came in and I saw wonderful
• 2:09:32
  protocol. People as we.
• 2:09:33
  Arrived there were a team. Of people who received.
• 2:09:36
  Us so graciously. Those are the men anointed to
• 2:09:40
  stand. Can I tell you this, every time
• 2:09:44
  you find the man anointed to stand, you don't need to do
• 2:09:47
  explanation. There is a connection.
• 2:09:49
  If you have to beg people to stay, if you have to manipulate
• 2:09:53
  people to stay, they are strangers.
• 2:09:56
  Be patient. You see, let me tell you this.
• 2:09:59
  This applies to any kind of relationship.
• 2:10:02
  When you have not found people or them to be in your life, they
• 2:10:05
  would cheapen your value. You will keep paying the price
• 2:10:09
  of maintenance. Let me tell you, maintenance is
• 2:10:14
  costly, especially when it does. Not connect.
• 2:10:18
  Try to put. A BMW engine in a Mercedes-Benz.
• 2:10:22
  That's why you will know that maintenance is costly, because
• 2:10:25
  the fundamental problem is that they were not supposed to
• 2:10:28
  connect. Are we together?
• 2:10:32
  You don't just see any rich man and believe that's the one sent
• 2:10:35
  to you. And keep were laying and
• 2:10:37
  harassing. The person he will say, remind
• 2:10:39
  me tomorrow, remind me tomorrow, you stay for 12 hours in an
• 2:10:42
  office. He's not sent to you, Sir.
• 2:10:44
  Go back home and preserve your honor and say, Lord, where are
• 2:10:47
  the men who know the value of what I carry?
• 2:10:51
  Where are the men? And one man can come into your
• 2:10:55
  family and say God sent me. A family of four ladies and an
• 2:11:00
  old woman, God sent me. I'm not talking of corrupt and
• 2:11:03
  bad people, genuine people sent by God.
• 2:11:06
  And they will say their assignment is to make sure that
• 2:11:09
  all your children's school to masters or PhD and get jobs.
• 2:11:14
  And you say why are you doing this?
• 2:11:15
  They say God sent me, God sent me, God sent me.
• 2:11:23
  I found a. Few men in my life.
• 2:11:25
  That were ordained by God to stand with me.
• 2:11:28
  And I can tell you there have been priceless gifts to my life.
• 2:11:33
  This is to everybody. Or let me encourage a man of God
• 2:11:36
  as we wrap up. Please go back and pray this
• 2:11:40
  night. Lord, I am tired of moving
• 2:11:42
  around, begging and compromising.
• 2:11:44
  There has to be a man sent. I'm tired of compromises sent by
• 2:11:50
  God in the name of Jesus Christ. Let's stand.
• 2:12:00
  The 7th and the final decision that you must make using the
• 2:12:08
  power of your will is the decision.
• 2:12:12
  To be a blessing. You must make up your mind
• 2:12:17
  according to Genesis 12th and verse 3.
• 2:12:19
  That I will. Be a blessing at the end of my
• 2:12:23
  life, it will not be that I was a nuisance to creation.
• 2:12:27
  The decision to be a blessing, it says.
• 2:12:31
  And in thee shall all the families of the earth be
• 2:12:37
  blessed. In thee Joshua Salman, in thee
• 2:12:41
  Bishop Asare, you can mention your name.
• 2:12:45
  In thee shall all the families in Ghana, all the families in
• 2:12:51
  Takoradi. That means there is an
• 2:12:53
  investment of the Spirit upon my life.
• 2:12:56
  That makes me a blessing. I am not a curse, I am not a
• 2:12:59
  nuisance, I am not a liability. I am a blessing by grace.
• 2:13:04
  Someone shouting, say I am a blessing.
• 2:13:07
  Say convincingly say I am a blessing.
• 2:13:10
  As a man of God, I am a blessing.
• 2:13:12
  As a businesswoman, I am a blessing.
• 2:13:14
  As a mother, as a father, as a preacher, as a brother, I am a
• 2:13:19
  blessing. The 7th and final decision that
• 2:13:22
  you must make with your life is a decision to be a blessing.
• 2:13:28
  Hold hands with someone by your right and left in my life.
• 2:13:37
  Be. Glorified.
• 2:13:40
  Be glorified in my. Life be.
• 2:13:50
  Glorified be glorified. You get the glory, you get the
• 2:14:00
  praise. You take the honor.
• 2:14:06
  I just want to say thank you, Glory.
• 2:14:40
  Be glorified. Be glorified.
• 2:14:50
  The path of the just. Through the quality of their
• 2:14:54
  decisions. Should always be as a light that
• 2:14:59
  shine it more and more and more and more.
• 2:15:06
  One prayer in 10 seconds. I do the altar call and we're
• 2:15:10
  done for tonight, Father, I decide that I will go forward.
• 2:15:16
  I decide that I will be a blessing.
• 2:15:20
  I decide that I will love you all the days of my life.
• 2:15:23
  I decide that I will be transformed.
• 2:15:26
  A serious belief. I pray.
• 2:15:28
  I decide that I will find my assignment in life and destiny.
• 2:15:34
  I decide that I will take care of my health and my physical
• 2:15:38
  well be. I decide that I will invest in
• 2:15:42
  strategic relationships. I decide that I will be a
• 2:15:46
  blessing to my world. Someone go ahead and pray, God.
• 2:15:50
  I pray, Takorani, pray you'll get the glory.
• 2:15:58
  You'll. Get the break.
• 2:16:01
  You'll take the I just. Want to say thank?
• 2:16:08
  You in Jesus name we pray. Lend me your attention for one
• 2:16:12
  minute, everyone outside. Inside the many who are.
• 2:16:15
  Following online. You cannot end such a destiny
• 2:16:21
  defining meeting. Without giving someone an
• 2:16:24
  opportunity. To honor the first decision that
• 2:16:27
  I taught you, and that happens to be the greatest and the
• 2:16:31
  wisest decision that any man can make in this side of God's
• 2:16:34
  Kingdom. Hear me, You come as you are,
• 2:16:39
  but you do not remain as you are.
• 2:16:42
  I'm calling on someone. Who is saying apostle, whilst
• 2:16:45
  listening to you preach the Spirit of God began to convict
• 2:16:48
  me that there is a need to make it right with Jesus.
• 2:16:52
  This is beyond a church decision.
• 2:16:55
  This is beyond religion. This is a call to a functional
• 2:16:59
  relationship with Jesus. You might be outside, scattered
• 2:17:03
  among the thousands of people there represented, or you might
• 2:17:07
  be in the midst of this crowd here, or perhaps someone who is
• 2:17:10
  following by way of television, following from your home.
• 2:17:13
  Give me the honor of leading you to this Jesus, the one who's
• 2:17:18
  changed my life, the one who's changed our lives, the one who
• 2:17:21
  will change anyone. You can reject him.
• 2:17:24
  Remember I taught you. You do not choose consequences,
• 2:17:28
  but you can make choices. You can make decisions.
• 2:17:31
  Let tonight be the wisest use of your power to choose your will.
• 2:17:36
  I'm going to count 1 to 5, and I'm calling on a bold person
• 2:17:40
  here who is ready to make it right with Jesus.
• 2:17:43
  You're saying apostle? I'm not ashamed, not after what
• 2:17:46
  you have taught, not after the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
• 2:17:50
  Wherever you are, if you're coming from outside, I'll
• 2:17:53
  request that you run once the front is full.
• 2:17:56
  You have to stand where you are. If you are in this place as I
• 2:18:00
  count 1 to 5, very boldly leave your seat and come stand right
• 2:18:04
  before me. God bless you.
• 2:18:06
  I begin my counting now. Let's honor them as they come.
• 2:18:08
  One. God bless you.
• 2:18:12
  Come, come. Oh God.
• 2:18:17
  You are my God. Come.
• 2:18:22
  And I will never praise you. Oh God, you are my God.
• 2:18:31
  Keep coming and I will never I love you, Oh God, you are my
• 2:18:41
  God. Keep coming and I will never
• 2:18:45
  serve you. I will seek you in the morning.
• 2:18:54
  I have learned to walk in your ways.
• 2:19:01
  You leave me and now follow you all of my days.
• 2:19:10
  Someone is still coming back already.
• 2:19:12
  Let's encourage them as they come.
• 2:19:14
  You're coming to Jesus. Make it quick, Apostle.
• 2:19:19
  I want to win. This war, finally.
• 2:19:22
  God bless you my. Sister, God bless you my
• 2:19:24
  brother, come, do not be ashamed.
• 2:19:27
  This is a destiny defining decision.
• 2:19:30
  He brought you to change your life.
• 2:19:32
  He brought you to change your destiny.
• 2:19:35
  Doesn't matter what you have done or not done, he's willing
• 2:19:38
  to receive you. You can start afresh again.
• 2:19:42
  Step by step. You leave me.
• 2:19:48
  All of my days. God bless you, God bless you.
• 2:19:57
  Young and old, male and female, God bless you.
• 2:20:00
  Come. Nothing to be ashamed of,
• 2:20:03
  Apostle. I want to come but I'm not sure
• 2:20:05
  if I'm saved. Can I join them?
• 2:20:07
  Please come. There is such a thing as the
• 2:20:09
  assurance of salvation. I'm working on borrowed time.
• 2:20:13
  My apologies, but this is an all important decision.
• 2:20:16
  It's the first reason for which we are gathered here tonight.
• 2:20:20
  Ladies and gentlemen, please look at me.
• 2:20:22
  Those of you who have come to the front, I want.
• 2:20:25
  To thank you. For your boldness, I want to
• 2:20:28
  thank you. I salute you.
• 2:20:29
  For your courage, Thank you. Thank you, Ma.
• 2:20:33
  Thank you, Sir. It pays.
• 2:20:36
  It pays to love Jesus. It pays to know him.

  It pays to serve him. Now, here's what you will do for
• 2:20:44
  me. I'm going to lead you to make a
• 2:20:45
  prayer, a prayer of faith, and zoom the camera on me one
• 2:20:51
  minute. Let me just speak to someone who
• 2:20:54
  is watching by television, watching by Internet.
• 2:20:59
  We're here at Takoradi, ministering under the influence
• 2:21:03
  of God's power. And by the Spirit of God, I'm
• 2:21:07
  speaking to you in your home, watching by television tonight,
• 2:21:13
  watching by Internet, or even. Watching a.
• 2:21:15
  Rebroadcast This is your. Moment.
• 2:21:18
  To make Jesus Lord of your life. It doesn't matter how powerful
• 2:21:22
  what you have heard is, if you do not act on it, you wasted the
• 2:21:27
  message. The beauty of this message is
• 2:21:30
  that you act upon it by using this gift God gave you.
• 2:21:35
  And we did receive the greatest gift He intends to give you
• 2:21:38
  tonight. I want to thank you so much for
• 2:21:41
  those of you who have come. Let me please request that you
• 2:21:44
  lift your right hand as a sign of surrender to Jesus and say
• 2:21:48
  this after me as loud and as clear as you can Say, Lord
• 2:21:52
  Jesus, tonight I have heard your word.
• 2:21:58
  I love you with all my heart. I believe that you are the Son
• 2:22:04
  of God. I believe that you died for my
• 2:22:09
  sin. I believe that you rose again
• 2:22:13
  for my justification. Right now.
• 2:22:17
  I receive Jesus into my heart as my Savior, my Lord, and my King.
• 2:22:26
  I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell, and the grave is
• 2:22:36
  broken over my life. I'm a child of God.
• 2:22:39
  I go for whatever and backward never.
• 2:22:43
  Amen. Father, thank you for these
• 2:22:45
  precious ones. They have declared your lordship
• 2:22:47
  over their lives. I decree and declare that the
• 2:22:50
  grace to live the victorious Christian life is released upon
• 2:22:54
  you this moment. I call you bona fide recipients
• 2:22:57
  of the life of God, and I declare that from tonight you go
• 2:23:01
  for whatever and backward never in Jesus name.
• 2:23:05
  Now please look up very respectfully.
• 2:23:08
  Can I request that you follow the gentleman waving his hands?
• 2:23:12
  There will be a group of counselors who will have a word
• 2:23:14
  with you very briefly and a prayer with you, and then you're
• 2:23:18
  back to your seat. Let's honor them as they go.
• 2:23:20
  God bless you. Hallelujah.
• 2:23:25
  Praise the name of the Lord now. Please lend me your attention
• 2:23:28
  for one moment. This conference continues
• 2:23:31
  tomorrow morning. What time, Sir?
• 2:23:33
  9:00 in the morning. So nine were here in the morning
• 2:23:37
  and then the final service for my session would be in the
• 2:23:43
  evening. And then by the grace of God
• 2:23:46
  would use that to be a miracle service.
• 2:23:49
  We didn't have the time to minister to people because you
• 2:23:53
  needed to hear this today. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 2:23:56
  Now let me charge you. Go back home and get this
• 2:23:59
  message. Get it, listen to it again and
• 2:24:03
  give this message to anyone you truly love.
• 2:24:06
  You see someone confused, disoriented, tell them I have a
• 2:24:09
  gift for you from this conference.
• 2:24:11
  Here it is. Listen to it again for your
• 2:24:14
  edification for now. May the Lord bless you, may His
• 2:24:17
  hand be strong upon you. These decisions that you have
• 2:24:21
  learned as you act upon them, the results follow immediately.
• 2:24:25
  In Jesus mighty name we pray. Give Jesus a big hand clap and
• 2:24:29
  God bless you.
