- 0:14Speaker 1: Praise the Lord. I want to salute you again for
- 0:20Speaker 1: the endurance and the discipline to come. With God. You
- 0:25Speaker 1: will never be the same, This is for sure. This
- 0:29Speaker 1: is the kind of time and energy that our destinies require.
- 0:36Speaker 1: And when we spend that time giving us all to Jesus,
- 0:40Speaker 1: I can assure you. The Bible says he that souls
- 0:42Speaker 1: to the flesh will of the flesh rip corruption, but
- 0:46Speaker 1: he that souls to the spirit will of the spirit
- 0:49Speaker 1: reap life eternal. You are so into the spirit now
- 0:53Speaker 1: for some of you. You are not the only ones
- 0:55Speaker 1: who will repeat. Your children and your children's children will
- 0:59Speaker 1: read from this conference. In the name of Jesus, I
- 1:03Speaker 1: like you to please join me. Honor every man and
- 1:06Speaker 1: woman of god Father's and let me also honor our
- 1:16Speaker 1: father and the Lord, the general of us here made
- 1:19Speaker 1: the Lord bless you and honor your sir, in the
- 1:22Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ. I wanted to teach this morning
- 1:31Speaker 1: or afternoon session who was in my heart to teach
- 1:34Speaker 1: us on the power of mentorship. But while I was
- 1:43Speaker 1: listening and picking parts of the teachings that I understand,
- 1:47Speaker 1: they were teachings along the lines of relationships, and I
- 1:51Speaker 1: decided to teach. Allelujah. I decided that since I was
- 2:01Speaker 1: speaking those teachings, let me teach us something about destiny
- 2:07Speaker 1: relationships that will bless us. Allelujah, praise the name of
- 2:12Speaker 1: the Lord. I guarantee you by the God of Heaven
- 2:16Speaker 1: that if you pay attention to what you're about to learn,
- 2:19Speaker 1: you will reap from this harvest for the rest of
- 2:22Speaker 1: your life. In the name of Jesus, Father, open my eyes,
- 2:27Speaker 1: open my ears, and give me an encounter. Go ahead
- 2:30Speaker 1: and pray, open my eyes, open my ears, give me an.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Encounter, Give me an encounter.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Allelujah. Father. We pray that your word will come to
- 3:16Speaker 1: us again with clarity and with precision. We're ready to
- 3:22Speaker 1: move from where we are even to the place of destiny.
- 3:28Speaker 1: We receive understanding. In Jesus' name, I pray.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Lets me see that.
- 3:33Speaker 1: God bless you. Show us the ancient path. Will you
- 3:43Speaker 1: lead us along it? Turnal highway? We want to fall
- 3:49Speaker 1: over the ways of Jesus. We want to enter your rest.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Will you show us the in shane? Will you leaders
- 4:04Speaker 3: alone it turn highway? We want to fall on the
- 4:11Speaker 3: food steps of Jesus.
- 4:14Speaker 1: We want to wit your rest. Listen to me, please.
- 4:22Speaker 1: The difference between any great destiny, destiny of beauty and
- 4:27Speaker 1: color and grace, and a destiny that ends up in
- 4:32Speaker 1: shame and frustration, largely is the kind and the quality
- 4:37Speaker 1: of information that they receive. It takes more than a
- 4:42Speaker 1: sincere desire to rise and fulfill your destiny. You must
- 4:48Speaker 1: access light, knowledge, high level spiritual illumination. It is lying
- 4:56Speaker 1: upon line, It is precept upon precept. The Bible said
- 5:00Speaker 1: here a little and there a little, and then you
- 5:03Speaker 1: are built and established in righteousness. As chapter twenty and
- 5:09Speaker 1: verse thirty two it says, and now, brethren, I commend
- 5:14Speaker 1: you to God and to the word of his grace.
- 5:18Speaker 1: I commend you to God and to the world of
- 5:22Speaker 1: His grace, which is able. Please give us kjv is
- 5:26Speaker 1: able to build you up and to give you an inheritance.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Among them that are sanctified that the word of God
- 5:37Speaker 1: is his primary tool for building, and it is the
- 5:41Speaker 1: primary tool that hands you over your inheritance in Christ.
- 5:46Speaker 1: That means if you ignore the word of God and
- 5:50Speaker 1: the wisdom that comes from the word of God, there
- 5:54Speaker 1: is no guarantee for a fulfilling and an excelling life. Allelujah,
- 6:00Speaker 1: the power of destiny relationships. May this teaching change your
- 6:07Speaker 1: life in the name of Jesus Christ, the power of
- 6:12Speaker 1: destiny relationships. Three scriptures, and then I'll begin to teach
- 6:18Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter thirteen and verse twenty. I'm going to be
- 6:22Speaker 1: requiring us to read together. So please write and then
- 6:26Speaker 1: be attentive. Proverbs thirteen and verse twenty. Are you ready
- 6:31Speaker 1: to read? One to read? He that worked with wise
- 6:35Speaker 1: men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall
- 6:42Speaker 1: be destroyed. One more time, he that worked with wise
- 6:46Speaker 1: men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall
- 6:53Speaker 1: be destroyed. Matthew, Chapter four, from verse seventeen to twenty two. Matthew,
- 7:00Speaker 1: chapter four. That's our second scripture. The Bible says, from
- 7:04Speaker 1: that time Jesus began to preach and to say repent,
- 7:10Speaker 1: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand verse eighteen.
- 7:14Speaker 1: And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
- 7:19Speaker 1: Simon called Peter and Andrew, his brother, casting a net
- 7:24Speaker 1: into the sea, for they were fishers. Read verse the
- 7:30Speaker 1: next verse. Now that will be nineteen one to read.
- 7:33Speaker 1: And he said onto them, but it can be anything.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Follow me, and I will make you a champion. Follow me,
- 7:43Speaker 1: and I will make you an exceptional student. Follow me,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and I will make you an exceptional parrott. Follow me,
- 7:50Speaker 1: and I will make you an exceptional leader. So our
- 7:55Speaker 1: making in life largely depends on our followership and our associations.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Acts Chapter four. We begin our reading from verse seven
- 8:06Speaker 1: and will end with thirteen Acts. Chapter four. The Bible
- 8:12Speaker 1: says this was after the healing of the man.
- 8:17Speaker 4: At get Beautiful.
- 8:19Speaker 1: The apostles were summoned, and Peter was being proved as
- 8:24Speaker 1: to how he got the power to heal that man
- 8:28Speaker 1: who had sat at get Beautiful for a long time
- 8:31Speaker 1: Verse seven. Now, and when they had set them in
- 8:36Speaker 1: the midst they asked, by what power or by what
- 8:41Speaker 1: name have you done this? And Peter, filled with the
- 8:46Speaker 1: Holy goos, said, unto them, you, rulers of the people
- 8:49Speaker 1: and elders of Israel, if we this day be examined
- 8:53Speaker 1: of the good deed done to the important man, by
- 8:57Speaker 1: what means he was made whole? Ten be known unto
- 9:02Speaker 1: you all and to all the people of Israel, that
- 9:05Speaker 1: by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom he crucified,
- 9:09Speaker 1: who God raised from the dead, even by him do
- 9:14Speaker 1: this man stand before you all. Verse eleven. This is
- 9:19Speaker 1: the stone which was set at naught by you builders,
- 9:23Speaker 1: which is become the head of the corner. Twelve. Neither
- 9:27Speaker 1: is there salvation in any other the Bible says, for
- 9:30Speaker 1: there is none other name under Heaven given among men
- 9:35Speaker 1: by which we must be saved. Verse thirteen. Please, I
- 9:41Speaker 1: like you to read the whole of verse thirteen, as
- 9:44Speaker 1: you see ready want to read now. When they saw
- 9:48Speaker 1: the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they
- 9:53Speaker 1: were unlined and ignorant men, they marveled, and they took
- 9:59Speaker 1: notes knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.
- 10:08Speaker 1: That we once knew these men to be ignorant men,
- 10:12Speaker 1: to be unlanded.
- 10:13Speaker 4: What changed about your destiny?
- 10:15Speaker 1: That today they had become champions walking miracles like this,
- 10:19Speaker 1: And they took note of the fact that the secret
- 10:22Speaker 1: to their greatness was their association. They changed association they
- 10:28Speaker 1: had been with Jesus. Is someone learning already? In fact?
- 10:38Speaker 1: Let me give you one more scriptural reference, and then
- 10:41Speaker 1: would teach Genesis chapter twelve. Will read the first four verses,
- 10:47Speaker 1: then will go to chapter thirteen. Genesis Chapter twelve, from
- 10:51Speaker 1: verse one to four let's start from there. Then we'll
- 10:53Speaker 1: connect it with chapter thirteen. Again. I'll read, and then
- 10:58Speaker 1: i'll ask you somewhere along the line to join me. Now,
- 11:01Speaker 1: the Lord had said onto Abraham, get thee out of
- 11:04Speaker 1: thy country, thy kindred, thy father's house, onto a land
- 11:10Speaker 1: that I will show you, he says, And I will
- 11:14Speaker 1: make up the a great nation. Says I will bless
- 11:18Speaker 1: them that bless you. And he says, I will make
- 11:22Speaker 1: your name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. Verse three.
- 11:28Speaker 1: I will bless them that bless you, and curse him
- 11:31Speaker 1: that curseth thee. And then he says, in the shall
- 11:35Speaker 1: all the families of the head be blessed. Verse four,
- 11:39Speaker 1: it says, so Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken
- 11:45Speaker 1: onto him. Now pay attention who did God speak to?
- 11:50Speaker 1: Who did God speak to? God made a promise to
- 11:54Speaker 1: Abraham that if you obey me, this will happen. But
- 11:57Speaker 1: the Bible records something very interesting. Please that scripture. There,
- 12:01Speaker 1: it says, and Lot went with him. God did not
- 12:07Speaker 1: call Lot. God did not ask Lot to follow the instruction.
- 12:14Speaker 1: The promise and the blessing was to Abraham and his
- 12:18Speaker 1: sid But Lord said, even though God did not speak
- 12:22Speaker 1: to me. I will find one that I know God
- 12:24Speaker 1: is speaking to. And follow Genesis thirteen, beginning from verse
- 12:31Speaker 1: one to five.
- 12:34Speaker 4: So follow the story. Now God calls.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Abraham, Lot went with him Genesis thirteen, from verse one.
- 12:44Speaker 1: And Abraham went out, or Abrahm went out of Egypt,
- 12:48Speaker 1: he and his wife and all that he had, The
- 12:52Speaker 1: Bible says, and Lot with him. You see there again Lot,
- 12:56Speaker 1: continue to follow. He valued that relationship next verse. And Abraham,
- 13:05Speaker 1: as a result of his obedience, was very rich in cattle,
- 13:10Speaker 1: in silver, and in gold verse three. And he went
- 13:16Speaker 1: on his journeys from the south, even to Bethel, onto
- 13:21Speaker 1: the place where his tent had been at the beginning
- 13:24Speaker 1: between Bethel and Ai. Verse four. It says, onto the
- 13:29Speaker 1: place of the altar, which he had made there at
- 13:32Speaker 1: the first and Abram called on the name of the Lord.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Next verse. Please read verse five if you are a
- 13:39Speaker 1: Christian ready want to read. And Lot, also, which went
- 13:44Speaker 1: with Abraham, had flocks and herds and tends. My goodness
- 13:50Speaker 1: stopped there. God called Abram and said, Abram, obey me,
- 13:58Speaker 1: I'm about to make you a blessing. And someone who
- 14:01Speaker 1: was not part of the promise followed Abraham. By the
- 14:06Speaker 1: time we get to chapter thirteen, the same thing the
- 14:10Speaker 1: man of promise had. The one who understood relationship also
- 14:13Speaker 1: had it. You would not even know the difference.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Again, who got called and who followed?
- 14:23Speaker 1: Write this down, please, that's theeny fulfillment is impossible without relationships, associations,
- 14:34Speaker 1: and connections. Please write this down. That's steny fulfillment is
- 14:40Speaker 1: impossible without relationships, without associations, and without connections. That means
- 14:51Speaker 1: it is impossible to actualize destiny without relationships, without associations,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and without connections.
- 15:02Speaker 4: For instance, it is your relationship with Jesus today.
- 15:08Speaker 1: That has formed the basis of your being said and
- 15:13Speaker 1: has giving you a guarantee towards an excelling life. You
- 15:17Speaker 1: needed a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the absence
- 15:21Speaker 1: of relationship that takes men to hell. It is the
- 15:25Speaker 1: presence of relationships that take men to heaven. Relationships are
- 15:29Speaker 1: that powerful it can determine your eternal destiny. What are relationships?
- 15:43Speaker 1: Please write this down. Relationships are advantageous connections. In simple terms,
- 15:54Speaker 1: relationships are advantageous connections. Under Line the word advantageous. Relationships
- 16:03Speaker 1: are advantageous connections. Relationships are connections that are mutually beneficial.
- 16:17Speaker 4: To the parties involved.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Relationships are connections are you writing that are mutually beneficial
- 16:27Speaker 1: to the parties involved? They are advantageous connections. They are
- 16:34Speaker 1: connections that are mutually beneficial to the parties involved. This
- 16:41Speaker 1: is very powerful. So when we talk about relationships, when
- 16:45Speaker 1: we talk about associations, they are advantageous connections that are
- 16:53Speaker 1: mutually or should be mutually beneficial to the parties that
- 16:59Speaker 1: are involved. Please write this out. The easiest way to
- 17:04Speaker 1: succeed in life is through relationships and destiny connections.
- 17:10Speaker 4: The easiest way to succeed in life.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Is through relationships and destiny connections. An example is what
- 17:20Speaker 1: we read in Genesis twelfth and thirteen that Lot went
- 17:25Speaker 1: with Abraham, and everything God gave Abraham, God also gave Lot.
- 17:32Speaker 1: The easiest way to succeed in life is through relationships
- 17:39Speaker 1: and destiny connections. Please look up. There is no great
- 17:44Speaker 1: man on it today, whether in the secular or in
- 17:49Speaker 1: the church, whether a believer or unbeliever. It is when
- 17:54Speaker 1: you are dealing with the subject of religion, I mean relationships.
- 17:59Speaker 1: This is the subject where both science, sociology, psychology, and
- 18:05Speaker 1: religion unanimously agree that without relationships there is no progress.
- 18:12Speaker 1: In fact, the statement be fruitful means be relation now,
- 18:18Speaker 1: because without relationships there is no fruitfulness.
- 18:23Speaker 4: It takes a union and a relationship.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Between a husband and his wife for procreation to happen.
- 18:30Speaker 1: That is true for plans, that is true for animals, that.
- 18:33Speaker 4: Is true for all living things.
- 18:42Speaker 1: The easiest way to succeed in life is true relationships
- 18:47Speaker 1: and destiny connections. Remember what David said in the Bible
- 18:52Speaker 1: when he became king. He said, is there any man
- 18:55Speaker 1: in the house of Saul that I may show him kindness?
- 18:59Speaker 1: For Jonathan sick? And they went down to a place
- 19:06Speaker 1: called Laudeba. They called a man called Siba and sent
- 19:10Speaker 1: him to Lord Deba to go and fetch a man
- 19:14Speaker 1: who did not have the capacity. He was completely crippled
- 19:18Speaker 1: from death, and he did not even have the capacity
- 19:21Speaker 1: to do anything for himself.
- 19:22Speaker 4: Called me Fiboshet. He's it in your Bible.
- 19:25Speaker 1: And the Bible says that they brought Mephiboshets. And the
- 19:29Speaker 1: king said, you will sam with me for the rest
- 19:31Speaker 1: of your life, and told the fifteen sons of Ziba
- 19:35Speaker 1: that they will go and plow the land for him.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Relationships are powerful. In one night, your destiny can change
- 19:43Speaker 1: because of relationships, and in one night, your destiny can
- 19:46Speaker 1: be destroyed because of relationships. Write this down, please, very
- 19:56Speaker 1: important thought. Relationship are also currencies. Relationships are also currencies.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Just like you have nyra, you have your dollar, you
- 20:11Speaker 1: have your pound. Relationships are also currencies. They can buy
- 20:16Speaker 1: anything that money can buy. Relationships are also currencies. They
- 20:24Speaker 1: can buy anything that money can buy. If money can
- 20:28Speaker 1: buy you a house, relationships can buy you that house.
- 20:32Speaker 1: If money can buy you a car, relationships can buy
- 20:36Speaker 1: you that car. If money can pay your school feest,
- 20:40Speaker 1: relationships can pay the school feest. Anything money can buy,
- 20:46Speaker 1: relationships can also buy. Whenever I teach along these lines,
- 20:55Speaker 1: I pray a prayer for my people that I want
- 20:58Speaker 1: to pray for you now, that may you never be
- 21:02Speaker 1: so poor that the only thing you have in your
- 21:04Speaker 1: life is money. Did you have what I said? Did
- 21:10Speaker 1: you understand the prayer that if the only thing you
- 21:14Speaker 1: have in your life is money, you are very poor.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Because there are many currencies in life that we used
- 21:26Speaker 1: to purchase the things that pertend to destiny. There are
- 21:30Speaker 1: rems you get to where your money becomes like ashes.
- 21:33Speaker 1: They can't buy anything in that realm. You will need
- 21:35Speaker 1: to use and not that kind of currency, and relationship
- 21:40Speaker 1: is one of the crencies. Are you learning? Unfortunately, we
- 21:48Speaker 1: live in a world where we think that money in
- 21:51Speaker 1: nayra and cobbo and dollars is everything. The centurion was
- 22:00Speaker 1: not a poor man. He had money, but money could
- 22:04Speaker 1: not heal his child. He needed a relationship and not
- 22:07Speaker 1: that kind of currency for that child to be saved.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Are we together now, Yes, Nico Demos was not a
- 22:17Speaker 1: poor man, but he needed a relationship to give him
- 22:20Speaker 1: enlightenment about the things of the kingdom. Money is important,
- 22:25Speaker 1: but in addition to money, make sure you get other
- 22:29Speaker 1: superior currencies, because you will get to rems in life
- 22:34Speaker 1: and destiny where everybody has the money you have, so
- 22:38Speaker 1: you will need to use another kind of currency. Are
- 22:43Speaker 1: you learning already? The easiest way to succeed in life,
- 22:48Speaker 1: I said, is through relationships and destiny connections. That relationships
- 22:54Speaker 1: are currencies. They can buy anything money can buy. I
- 22:59Speaker 1: would tell you sincerely, the reason why I am here
- 23:02Speaker 1: standing right now is because of relationships. That is the
- 23:06Speaker 1: reason why you are able to hear and receive what
- 23:10Speaker 1: God has in store for you. The reason why you
- 23:16Speaker 1: will be great in life is because of relationships. If
- 23:20Speaker 1: you ignore relationships and ignore connections, you have ignored success
- 23:27Speaker 1: in its entirety. Everyone knows that the best time to
- 23:38Speaker 1: have strategic relationships is at the level that you are.
- 23:43Speaker 1: That you are now in life, because you have the
- 23:45Speaker 1: liberty to see people in about the purest form they
- 23:49Speaker 1: can ever be. I hope you know that most of
- 23:53Speaker 1: the people you will meet now, they most likely don't
- 23:56Speaker 1: have money yet, They most likely don't have influence yet.
- 24:00Speaker 4: So the corruption of the day that can.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Turn them into something evil is they've not been battered
- 24:06Speaker 1: by the evil in life, so you can easily. Chances
- 24:11Speaker 1: are excellent that if you wei natural relationships in this level,
- 24:15Speaker 1: they will truly be destiny relationships. Please write this down everyone.
- 24:22Speaker 1: There are three levels of relationships, or you may call
- 24:26Speaker 1: them three kinds of relationships that everyone on earth would
- 24:32Speaker 1: require to succeed and to excel. There are three kinds
- 24:41Speaker 1: and three levels of relationships. Number one, there are general relationships.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Please say aff time in general relationships. One more time,
- 24:51Speaker 1: say general relationships. So the first kind and the first
- 24:58Speaker 1: level of relationships is called general relationships. For as long
- 25:03Speaker 1: as you are alive, you will interact with people in
- 25:06Speaker 1: your environment. You go to the shop or a mall
- 25:10Speaker 1: to buy something, for the five minutes or ten minutes
- 25:14Speaker 1: you are there, you will interact with people. You could
- 25:17Speaker 1: find someone buying the same item, you could love, crack
- 25:21Speaker 1: a joke or two, and never see the person in
- 25:23Speaker 1: your life again. If you board an uber, or a
- 25:27Speaker 1: boat or a boss within the time the distance of
- 25:31Speaker 1: your journey, you can have interactions with a person driving you,
- 25:35Speaker 1: or maybe the boss conductor, or maybe a flight you're
- 25:39Speaker 1: traveling somewhere within the fifteen minutes forty five minutes, even
- 25:43Speaker 1: if it's ten thirteen hours, no matter how long, within
- 25:47Speaker 1: that time, you can have a chance to talk with people. Generally,
- 25:52Speaker 1: there there is no definite commitment to those relationships. It
- 25:58Speaker 1: is the lowest level of relationships, general relationships. But can
- 26:03Speaker 1: I tell you the truth, Every relationship, no matter how great,
- 26:07Speaker 1: starts from there. That means if you are ineffective in
- 26:12Speaker 1: managing your general relationships, it will not be able to
- 26:16Speaker 1: graduate to the others that I'll be showing you. The
- 26:24Speaker 1: key to maintaining and managing general relationships is friendliness and honor.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Write it down, please, The key to managing and maintaining
- 26:38Speaker 1: general relationships is friendliness and honor. In fact, I may
- 26:45Speaker 1: want to add discernment, because there are times that the
- 26:51Speaker 1: greatest gifts in your life will come informs that you
- 26:54Speaker 1: may not easily accept. So in addition to friendliness, in
- 26:59Speaker 1: addition to it the heart that communicates honor to all men,
- 27:04Speaker 1: you will also add discernment. Is someone learning already general relationships.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Now watch this, come, my friend. Let me use this
- 27:15Speaker 1: man for an example. Let's assume this man, maybe he
- 27:20Speaker 1: doesn't know who I am, doesn't know anything about me.
- 27:23Speaker 1: We can be passing somewhere, and this gentleman can see
- 27:28Speaker 1: me and just say good afternoon, sir, not knowing that
- 27:31Speaker 1: God has called me and mandated me to help him,
- 27:35Speaker 1: maybe not even knowing that I have a relationship with
- 27:37Speaker 1: his parents. But just that act of honor and courtesy,
- 27:42Speaker 1: I can look at him and say, my friend, where
- 27:44Speaker 1: are you from, and begin to find out about him.
- 27:48Speaker 1: You see that. Now, imagine that this gentleman is looking
- 27:51Speaker 1: for admission, say, for instance, in the university. I'm not
- 27:55Speaker 1: knowing that I'm the germ registrar, for instance, or I'm
- 27:58Speaker 1: the closest friend to the registrant. He's dishonor to me
- 28:05Speaker 1: and not being friendly, and just looks at me and
- 28:07Speaker 1: pushes me. I can leave him in peace. And then
- 28:10Speaker 1: one day they drag him into a jam center and
- 28:12Speaker 1: say we're looking for help. And I remember. People forget
- 28:16Speaker 1: what you tell them, but they will not forget.
- 28:18Speaker 4: How you made them feel.
- 28:22Speaker 1: They will remember that this gentleman treated me bad. And
- 28:25Speaker 1: you can recycle needless years of pain. Is someone learning
- 28:30Speaker 1: thank you? General relationships, you must learn how to be friendly.
- 28:37Speaker 1: To be friendly does not mean to be a clown
- 28:39Speaker 1: laughing up and down. It means to have a warm personality,
- 28:43Speaker 1: a personality that is always receptive.
- 28:46Speaker 4: And then to be able to show people honor.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Those who understand on are never stranded in life. And
- 28:57Speaker 1: then to discern because most times, answers to prayer comes
- 29:03Speaker 1: when men come. God answers prayer not only by sending power.
- 29:08Speaker 1: He answers prayer by sending men. So while you are praying,
- 29:13Speaker 1: take note of the man who comes in answer to
- 29:15Speaker 1: your prayer. The answer to your prayer could be in
- 29:19Speaker 1: a man. In fact, I teach it this way that
- 29:24Speaker 1: all blessings come from God through men to men, nothing
- 29:30Speaker 1: comes directly from God to a man. There must be
- 29:32Speaker 1: a man midwife in what leaves heaven and arrives the earth.
- 29:40Speaker 1: General relationships number two. The second level and the second
- 29:46Speaker 1: kind of relationships are called seasonal relationships. Please write it down.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Most believers are ignorant of this level and this kind
- 29:57Speaker 1: of relationship.
- 30:00Speaker 4: Seasonal relationships.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Now please look up. These are relationships from the name.
- 30:08Speaker 1: There are relationships in your life that are not meant
- 30:11Speaker 1: to be destiny relationships.
- 30:13Speaker 4: They are there for a season, a time, and a purpose.
- 30:18Speaker 1: That means these relationships are time tapped. You have to
- 30:23Speaker 1: maximize the blessing and the benefit that comes from them
- 30:28Speaker 1: within the time allotted, because once the time elaps ellapses,
- 30:33Speaker 1: whatever you did not get you may lose forever. Seasonal relationships.
- 30:40Speaker 1: I'll give you an example, your classmates. I'll give you
- 30:44Speaker 1: an example your schoolmates. There are relationships whose life span
- 30:50Speaker 1: can be two years, three years, five years, seven years,
- 30:56Speaker 1: and you may never see them again. There are some
- 31:01Speaker 1: of you, for instance, shortly after school or shortly after
- 31:07Speaker 1: your time in Nigeria, you may relocate and go abroad,
- 31:11Speaker 1: and certain relationships that you now enjoy you may never
- 31:15Speaker 1: have the opportunity to have and enjoy them again. But
- 31:20Speaker 1: the lessons, the wisdom, the benefits and the advantages from
- 31:24Speaker 1: those relationships, you can discern and receive them. Most people
- 31:31Speaker 1: do not understand seasonal relationships. Now, let me tell you something.
- 31:37Speaker 1: With seasonal relationships, the advantage and the benefits from seasonal
- 31:45Speaker 1: relationships only remain within the lifetime of that relationship. You
- 31:51Speaker 1: must have the courage to know when seasonal relationships have
- 31:55Speaker 1: come to an end. Because if you do not understand
- 31:59Speaker 1: when seasonal relationships come to an end, what wants blessed
- 32:03Speaker 1: you can also cost you. Listen carefully and let Many
- 32:10Speaker 1: people do not know when seasonal relationships come to an end,
- 32:15Speaker 1: and they continue to force it to walk to their tetriment.
- 32:22Speaker 1: You have to know when seasonal relationships in your life
- 32:25Speaker 1: and destiny come to an end. Allelujah, this is very powerful.
- 32:38Speaker 1: I remember many years ago there was this gentleman. For
- 32:41Speaker 1: some reason, I lived quite a very busy life, honestly,
- 32:46Speaker 1: but for some reason I saw the text of this
- 32:48Speaker 1: gentleman and he showed to be a very sincere person,
- 32:52Speaker 1: and I reached.
- 32:53Speaker 4: Out to him.
- 32:54Speaker 1: And when I reached out to him, he cried that
- 32:57Speaker 1: this was his background and you know, he wanted to
- 33:00Speaker 1: learn to know the things of God. He was simply
- 33:03Speaker 1: looking for a chance to live a meaningful life. And
- 33:06Speaker 1: I said, I can't commit to this, gentleman. I don't
- 33:08Speaker 1: even have the time. But I made up my mind.
- 33:10Speaker 1: I said, even if it's two weeks, let me give
- 33:12Speaker 1: this gentleman dedicated attention and see what I can do
- 33:16Speaker 1: to contribute to his destiny. And I would give him assignments,
- 33:22Speaker 1: scriptures to read, give him certain Sometimes I would call him,
- 33:28Speaker 1: you know, or when he calls me. I would call
- 33:30Speaker 1: when I'm back, maybe from a meeting, or sometime I'm
- 33:33Speaker 1: even praying or studying, and here is his call. You know,
- 33:36Speaker 1: I just felt this was an honorable gentleman, very respectful
- 33:39Speaker 1: as he sounded. And he was surprised because I would
- 33:43Speaker 1: call him sometimes for over thirty minutes. Can you imagine
- 33:47Speaker 1: and talk with him, get tell him to get a
- 33:50Speaker 1: pen on a paper, make reference to materials to help him.
- 33:55Speaker 1: In fact, I remember a few times when I even
- 33:57Speaker 1: made transfers to him, and I said, gentlemen, buy books
- 34:00Speaker 1: with this, make sure.
- 34:02Speaker 4: And he was surprised.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Sometimes you will send the text and say, God, what
- 34:05Speaker 1: have I done? And I taught him something. I said,
- 34:08Speaker 1: my friend, let me tell you something. In as much
- 34:11Speaker 1: as I love you, don't you think it to continue
- 34:13Speaker 1: this way? Maximis every day and every moment that you
- 34:17Speaker 1: will have allelujah. Yes. And one time the gentleman started calling, calling, ringing.
- 34:27Speaker 1: I remember I returned from a meeting. I told him
- 34:31Speaker 1: to follow everywhere a meeting and listen to the messages.
- 34:35Speaker 1: It's part of the mentorship system. And one time, I
- 34:38Speaker 1: remember I was preaching somewhere. I didn't say this number,
- 34:41Speaker 1: but I could see the digits and he kept calling
- 34:44Speaker 1: while I was on stage. He clearly was not following
- 34:47Speaker 1: the meeting, calling, calling and disturbing and writing by offended you.
- 34:52Speaker 1: What is this now? I thought you were going to help,
- 34:54Speaker 1: I said, oh, the seasons you have. Let me tell
- 34:57Speaker 1: you one of the ways. You know, seasons come to
- 35:00Speaker 1: an end. The blessing that maintained it lists that blessing
- 35:04Speaker 1: that listen. This is a powerful revelation. The blessing that
- 35:10Speaker 1: is in it lifts not because you are bad, but
- 35:14Speaker 1: it is a way of making you know. When a
- 35:17Speaker 1: baby is in the womb of his mother after nine
- 35:21Speaker 1: months the same pregnancy that the woman would dance and
- 35:26Speaker 1: be happy about. She becomes dissatisfied, and even the baby
- 35:30Speaker 1: lets her know, I'm tired of this place. Correct. The
- 35:35Speaker 1: baby now begins to engineer all kinds of skills to
- 35:39Speaker 1: force her to tell her, Madam, you have to get
- 35:41Speaker 1: me out of this place and let me tell you
- 35:44Speaker 1: whether it is by normal delivery or see us.
- 35:47Speaker 4: That baby will come out for sure, now hear me.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Never try to resurrect what God is the one killing.
- 35:57Speaker 1: This is a mistake that many believers make. Can I
- 36:00Speaker 1: tell you this? When a three is dying, you can
- 36:05Speaker 1: want to come back to life, but when it is dead,
- 36:08Speaker 1: there is nothing you can do for it to come
- 36:10Speaker 1: back to life. Be careful less. The people who were
- 36:21Speaker 1: in your seasonal relationships keep putting pressure on you. Remember
- 36:26Speaker 1: where primary school classmates, and they keep inconveniencing you crying
- 36:31Speaker 1: for a space in your destiny, and you keep feeling guilty. No,
- 36:36Speaker 1: you don't have to be evil. That relationship was for
- 36:39Speaker 1: a season. Now that the season has ended, you must
- 36:43Speaker 1: know when to move forward. Can I tell you this?
- 36:46Speaker 1: The Bible teaches us these seasonal relationships in the Journey
- 36:51Speaker 1: of Abraham. Please listen carefully. The Bible says when Abraham left,
- 36:56Speaker 1: he went to go and sacrifice Isaac. When you read
- 36:58Speaker 1: from Genesis twenty two, he went with his servants. They
- 37:02Speaker 1: started the journey together. But when he got to the
- 37:05Speaker 1: base of the mountain, he turned to them and said, gentlemen,
- 37:08Speaker 1: you have tried for me. From here. It is only
- 37:11Speaker 1: me and my sacrifice are to go upwards. They did
- 37:14Speaker 1: do wrong, they don't have to do wrong. He's just saying,
- 37:18Speaker 1: your season, the validity of your contribution has come to
- 37:22Speaker 1: an end. Can I tell you this. There are things
- 37:26Speaker 1: God will not do with you till you allow relationships
- 37:30Speaker 1: that have ended to end. Indeed, there are certain things
- 37:37Speaker 1: God cannot do with you and in your life. Now,
- 37:41Speaker 1: let me tell you this. Because of the emotional nature
- 37:44Speaker 1: of humans, it is usually very difficult. It is the
- 37:50Speaker 1: reason why many young men cannot leave home when.
- 37:53Speaker 4: They are supposed to leave home.
- 37:55Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you stop relating with your parents, but
- 37:58Speaker 1: you have come of age. If you don't leave home,
- 38:01Speaker 1: you can never be established. Even if it is one room,
- 38:04Speaker 1: pack out and go to that one room and start
- 38:07Speaker 1: so that you can have your testimony that you will
- 38:09Speaker 1: give your children that like my father, I also know
- 38:12Speaker 1: God is faithful. I started with a recharged card and
- 38:16Speaker 1: a mattress. Look what God has done. Now many people
- 38:20Speaker 1: cannot experience more of God because they hold onto seasons
- 38:24Speaker 1: that have come to an end. To someone learning seasonal
- 38:34Speaker 1: relationships in Nigeria, there are songs that came in certain seasons,
- 38:44Speaker 1: and everybody sang those songs, including you. Remember how many
- 38:48Speaker 1: times you listen to those songs. They look like you
- 38:51Speaker 1: will never listen to any song again. But after a while,
- 38:55Speaker 1: to your shock, you will live and hear the song
- 38:57Speaker 1: in your car and flip to the next song. Not
- 39:00Speaker 1: because the song is wrong. The anointing that came with
- 39:03Speaker 1: it with that season has sund his purpose, every man
- 39:19Speaker 1: of God and every champion on earth, with respect to
- 39:24Speaker 1: Destiny our voyage on earth, here is a seasonal relationship,
- 39:30Speaker 1: because one day, whether you like it or not, like
- 39:32Speaker 1: I said yesterday, prepared or not, your season will come
- 39:36Speaker 1: to one end. How many of you remember any name
- 39:39Speaker 1: Colrain had Bunke? Wave your hands? How many of you
- 39:42Speaker 1: remember any name called Billy Graham? Wave your hands? How
- 39:46Speaker 1: many of you remember any name called tel Osborne? Wave
- 39:49Speaker 1: your hands? How many of you remember any name called
- 39:52Speaker 1: Sir Isaac Newton wave your hands, question where are they today?
- 40:04Speaker 1: How many of you remember any name in the Bible
- 40:08Speaker 1: called Peter Paul Silas. You would think that these people
- 40:18Speaker 1: their seasons would not end because of the high level impact.
- 40:22Speaker 1: If Christ taries after one hundred years, say for instance,
- 40:27Speaker 1: it will not wait that long, I assure you He's
- 40:29Speaker 1: coming soon. I can assure you this by the authority
- 40:33Speaker 1: of scripture, who are not going to wait that long
- 40:35Speaker 1: before he comes. But then save for instance, the head
- 40:40Speaker 1: remains for the next one hundred and fifty years. Do
- 40:43Speaker 1: you know if we don't give back to anybody again
- 40:47Speaker 1: after one hundred and fifty years, even the baby today
- 40:51Speaker 1: may be gone. The whole heath will be empty because
- 40:54Speaker 1: every one season would have come to end. Remember where
- 40:58Speaker 1: you found last year. You were happy when you saw
- 41:01Speaker 1: the maze growing, and the way you pampered the maze,
- 41:06Speaker 1: the maze, you know, the stalk. It was as if
- 41:09Speaker 1: it to live forever. And all that pumpering was just
- 41:12Speaker 1: for four months. The day you were invested it, you
- 41:15Speaker 1: did not even pity what you want pampered. You remove
- 41:18Speaker 1: the corn and matched everything, and that was it ready
- 41:21Speaker 1: for another planting season. You must understand seasons. The key
- 41:28Speaker 1: to maximizing seasons given seasonal relationships is to discern and
- 41:34Speaker 1: to take advantage of the blessing and the benefit. Listen, look,
- 41:40Speaker 1: let me teach you something. There are some of you
- 41:44Speaker 1: who grew up with aunties and grew up with uncles.
- 41:49Speaker 4: Some of you grew up.
- 41:51Speaker 1: In families that may not have treated you well. Some
- 41:55Speaker 1: of you are even working jobs you don't like and
- 41:59Speaker 1: you are wondering why God put you there. Realize that
- 42:02Speaker 1: you are therefore He sees it. Instead of complaining.
- 42:07Speaker 4: The stop watches is counting down.
- 42:10Speaker 1: You may be there with your auntie and your uncle,
- 42:13Speaker 1: staying with them. They may not have treated you well,
- 42:17Speaker 1: but God is using that season to builset Tamini in
- 42:20Speaker 1: you so that you can survive any other thing in
- 42:23Speaker 1: the future. Instead of complaining and getting angry this under season,
- 42:28Speaker 1: because one day what you are running away from today
- 42:32Speaker 1: you will miss it when the season passes. I would
- 42:38Speaker 1: always give this example. Have you seen little children who
- 42:42Speaker 1: want to be adults by force? You come back and
- 42:47Speaker 1: you find them trying to act like mummy. They will
- 42:49Speaker 1: carry Mommy's cloth aware and is slowing as if they're
- 42:52Speaker 1: an angel, and they're happy. Sometimes they try to do
- 42:58Speaker 1: what daddy is doing. And may God not help you
- 43:01Speaker 1: that your child finds a khaki and goes to open
- 43:04Speaker 1: the car and it's like he's struggling to touch everything,
- 43:08Speaker 1: and he's just doing whatever he can do because.
- 43:11Speaker 4: He thinks the seasons are too slow.
- 43:13Speaker 1: He will wake up and find out that he's fifty
- 43:15Speaker 1: years old and miss those days.
- 43:17Speaker 4: And wish he could go back.
- 43:19Speaker 1: An example of what I'm talking about is you who
- 43:24Speaker 1: would believe that you have come this far. I had
- 43:31Speaker 1: the privilege to see I'm one of my dear people
- 43:34Speaker 1: who trained me growing up, and my goodness, he was
- 43:37Speaker 1: an old man. I saw one of my pictures one
- 43:41Speaker 1: time and I couldn't believe it, as I this is
- 43:44Speaker 1: a joke.
- 43:46Speaker 4: You may have grown like this. Where am I running too?
- 43:57Speaker 1: But what you do with seasons is what determines whether
- 44:02Speaker 1: you will go far or you will remain where you are?
- 44:06Speaker 1: Is God teaching someone now? So a quick recap that
- 44:10Speaker 1: there are three levels and three kinds of relationships. Number
- 44:13Speaker 1: one is what general relationships your interaction with your environment
- 44:18Speaker 1: every day. Number two seasonal relationships. Number three the highest
- 44:28Speaker 1: level of relationship, and this is the one that lasts
- 44:32Speaker 1: throughout the lifetime of your destiny. They are called destiny
- 44:36Speaker 1: or covenant relationships. Please write it down destiny or covenant relationships.
- 44:50Speaker 1: What are these relationships? There are relationships that have a
- 44:55Speaker 1: role to play in your life all through your lifetime.
- 45:00Speaker 1: As long as you are alive. Those relationships should remain.
- 45:04Speaker 1: And these are the relationships that you should pay any
- 45:08Speaker 1: price on the God to maintain because something about the
- 45:13Speaker 1: overall picture of your destiny is connected to those relationships.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Is God speaking to someone? An example of destiny relationships
- 45:24Speaker 1: is your prophetic connection. An example of destiny relationships.
- 45:30Speaker 4: Your relationship with.
- 45:31Speaker 1: Your parents an example of destiny relationships, your relationship with
- 45:37Speaker 1: your spouse, your relationship with your children, and then your
- 45:41Speaker 1: relationship with strategic friends. Connections mentors that God brings to
- 45:48Speaker 1: your life. What besides, a man who does not invest
- 45:54Speaker 1: in destiny relationships, you may never be able to actualize destiny.
- 46:03Speaker 1: I want to say something, respectfully speaking, when you see
- 46:07Speaker 1: people in old age, isolated, frustrated, with no help whatsoever,
- 46:14Speaker 1: some of them will give excuses like I didn't have
- 46:17Speaker 1: the opportunity to go to school.
- 46:19Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but I disagree.
- 46:21Speaker 1: It does not take education to invest in relationships. It
- 46:25Speaker 1: takes or not discernment and humility. How can God give
- 46:29Speaker 1: you a gift of forty years, thirty years, fifty years
- 46:34Speaker 1: and there is no body on it who found you
- 46:37Speaker 1: relevant enough to connect with you for destiny? You must
- 46:41Speaker 1: be a dangerous pass in them. Someone somewhere should like
- 46:47Speaker 1: you enough and be willing to say, I believe in
- 46:51Speaker 1: you and I see you an advantage to my life.
- 47:00Speaker 1: This place is quiet. I'm sure God is speaking to
- 47:02Speaker 1: you now because some of you are about to destroy
- 47:06Speaker 1: destiny relationships. Some of you, that classmate you met is
- 47:11Speaker 1: not just a classmate. There is something connected to destiny
- 47:17Speaker 1: for some of you. This ministry that God brought you,
- 47:20Speaker 1: it's not just an option just because you are looking
- 47:23Speaker 1: at this destiny connection. Now, let me show you what
- 47:28Speaker 1: happens when we do not discern destiny relationships. Are you
- 47:32Speaker 1: ready Genesis that team, Let's continue from where we left off.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Will start from verse seven. Remember the story God called
- 47:45Speaker 1: Abraham a lot went with him. God trust what Abraham
- 47:51Speaker 1: and God prosper Lot who went with him. But something
- 47:55Speaker 1: started happening. Pay attention to my message. Now. The spirit
- 48:00Speaker 1: of God is speaking. There was a strife between the
- 48:05Speaker 1: headmen of Abram, of Adam's cattle, of Abraham's cattle, and
- 48:10Speaker 1: the headman of Lord's cattle. Can you imagine both the
- 48:14Speaker 1: one who carried the promise and the covenant and the
- 48:17Speaker 1: one who followed became so blessed. But with every blessing
- 48:22Speaker 1: and with every lifting, there are always issues, the Bible says,
- 48:30Speaker 1: and the Canaanite and the Perizide dwelt in the land.
- 48:35Speaker 1: Next verse verse eight says, and Abraham said to Lord,
- 48:42Speaker 1: let there be no strife. Please follow carefully. I pray
- 48:46Speaker 1: THEE between me and THEE. He said, I'm between my
- 48:50Speaker 1: hurtsmen and thy hurtsman. Why for we be brethren? Verse nine,
- 48:56Speaker 1: he said, it's not the whole land before THEE. Separate yourself.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Now there is a problem. You know what Abraham was
- 49:07Speaker 1: telling Lot. It seems like now you don't even know
- 49:11Speaker 1: why God bless you. Because you followed me. You partook
- 49:15Speaker 1: of the grace upon my life. Now you have increased,
- 49:18Speaker 1: and you did.
- 49:18Speaker 4: Not mentor and train your people to.
- 49:21Speaker 1: Know why God blessed them, that it was a destiny
- 49:24Speaker 1: connection that brought the blessing. Let there be no strife, go,
- 49:29Speaker 1: he said, separate yourself. You never allowed this to happen
- 49:36Speaker 1: over destiny relationships. This may happen for general relationships, this
- 49:42Speaker 1: may happen for seasonal relationships, but when it has to
- 49:46Speaker 1: do with destiny relationships, swallow your pride, because we're about
- 49:50Speaker 1: to learn a lessons from Lot. Now are you ready?
- 49:53Speaker 4: Please give it to words.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Separate yourself. Abraham told Lord, I pray thee from me.
- 50:01Speaker 1: If thou wilt take the left hand, I will go
- 50:03Speaker 1: to the right, Or if thou wilt depart to the right,
- 50:08Speaker 1: I will take the left. Abraham was telling him it
- 50:12Speaker 1: does not matter the location. What is on me will
- 50:15Speaker 1: sort me out for you. Choose any direction and go.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Now watch the foolishness of Lot, which is the foolishness
- 50:23Speaker 1: of many people on ed today. God has brought you
- 50:28Speaker 1: to this camp to give you wisdom for destiny, the
- 50:32Speaker 1: Bible says. And Lord lifted his eyes and beheld all
- 50:38Speaker 1: the plane of Jordan, that it was well watered, where
- 50:44Speaker 1: before the Lord destroyed Sodom. And go Morah, even as
- 50:48Speaker 1: the garden of the Lord like the garden of Eden.
- 50:51Speaker 1: As thou comest.
- 50:52Speaker 4: Onto soar.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Hey, then Lord shows him all the lane of Jordan
- 51:01Speaker 1: and Lord Johnny East, and they separated themselves one from
- 51:08Speaker 1: the other. Now follow carefully. Abraham dwelt in the land
- 51:14Speaker 1: of Canaan. Where did Lord go to help me? Lord
- 51:17Speaker 1: dwelt in the cities of the plane and pitched his
- 51:21Speaker 1: tent towards Sodom. This is what separation from destiny. Relationships
- 51:27Speaker 1: can bring. The first decision that Lord will be taken
- 51:32Speaker 1: outside of that relationship, Landed, I mean Sodom. Can I
- 51:38Speaker 1: tell you this? There are relationships God brought you to
- 51:42Speaker 1: because he knows that if you take certain decisions without
- 51:47Speaker 1: those relationships, what happened to.
- 51:49Speaker 4: Your father will still happen to you.
- 51:51Speaker 1: God brought you to certain relationships as a covenant binding
- 51:56Speaker 1: so that you can be a packtaker of certain blessings
- 52:00Speaker 1: that our men. This is true.
- 52:04Speaker 4: Lot went unfortunately to Sodom.
- 52:12Speaker 1: Question. By the time Abraham came to rescue Lot, where
- 52:16Speaker 1: did he find Lot?
- 52:18Speaker 4: He did not find him At the gate of Sodom.
- 52:21Speaker 1: Lot had moved in, moved in, and he was at
- 52:25Speaker 1: the center of Sodom. Even though he remained a righteous man.
- 52:30Speaker 1: But there was still trouble. Because if you are righteous
- 52:33Speaker 1: and your environment is polluted, you will still suff it.
- 52:38Speaker 1: If someone learning God connected you to a friend, that
- 52:44Speaker 1: friend was the one who helps you.
- 52:45Speaker 4: Pray that friend was the one who helps you first.
- 52:49Speaker 1: Every time you are backsliding, God will show that friend
- 52:52Speaker 1: in a dream and you say, my brother, I had
- 52:55Speaker 1: this dream. I just noticed that there's something wrong with
- 52:58Speaker 1: your spiritual life. Tell you what Satan does two people
- 53:02Speaker 1: when he wants to destroy them, Please look up and lend.
- 53:05Speaker 1: The first thing Satan does when he wants to attach
- 53:08Speaker 1: your destiny is to look for every body who can
- 53:12Speaker 1: help you when you are down. He will create trouble
- 53:15Speaker 1: between you and them so that all of them will
- 53:17Speaker 1: leave you. When you are alone in pride, he will
- 53:20Speaker 1: now attach you because anybody who can help you there
- 53:24Speaker 1: is no peace between you for the rescue. This is
- 53:27Speaker 1: how people die, and this is how people are destroyed.
- 53:30Speaker 1: Satan will never attach you when he knows who are
- 53:33Speaker 1: surrounded by destiny relationships. The first thing he will do
- 53:41Speaker 1: is to surround you with wrong people or take away
- 53:45Speaker 1: good people from your life. Lord would have said, Abraham,
- 53:52Speaker 1: I know there is strife between my people and your people.
- 53:55Speaker 1: Please let me talk to them. I can't let you
- 53:58Speaker 1: go because I remember what I was and where I
- 54:02Speaker 1: was before God brought me to you. I believe it's
- 54:06Speaker 1: a destiny connection. My apologies, let me work on it.
- 54:10Speaker 1: Only God knows what else would I've learned about Lord
- 54:20Speaker 1: destiny relationships. There are doors today that have been opened
- 54:32Speaker 1: in my life, through my life as a person and
- 54:36Speaker 1: in ministry because of destiny strategic destiny relationships, and by
- 54:44Speaker 1: the privilege of God's grace. God has used me through
- 54:48Speaker 1: destiny connections to also open doors for others. Many of
- 54:58Speaker 1: you here respect fully about to get crash your life
- 55:03Speaker 1: because you don't have value for anybody. You have a
- 55:06Speaker 1: narrative in your life. I don't need anybody to hell
- 55:10Speaker 1: with you. You can go. Be careful who you are
- 55:12Speaker 1: driving away from your life. You may drive one man
- 55:15Speaker 1: that is equal to the next ten years of your peace.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Go and find out what happened to the disciples when
- 55:25Speaker 1: they run away from Jesus. Jesus is not the kind
- 55:29Speaker 1: of person you run away from, but they run away,
- 55:32Speaker 1: and within seventy two hours their whole life scattered.
- 55:35Speaker 4: Peter, that was turny relevance.
- 55:38Speaker 1: In seventy two hours, Peter went back to fishing and
- 55:42Speaker 1: was wasting his time there. When Jesus came in, John
- 55:45Speaker 1: twenty one said, little children, have you any cats? He
- 55:48Speaker 1: didn't even know it was Jesus. He said, cash your
- 55:51Speaker 1: net to the right side. When he cant said his net.
- 55:54Speaker 1: As soon as Jesus returned to his life. In one statement,
- 55:58Speaker 1: he caught fish that he had been struggle and it
- 56:00Speaker 1: did not catch. Is someone learning before I continue, Please
- 56:16Speaker 1: lay your hand on your head and say, Lord, give
- 56:19Speaker 1: me the discernment to know the relationships.
- 56:23Speaker 4: That my destiny depend on.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Lay your hands on your head and pray. Grant me
- 56:29Speaker 1: that grace so that I don't use foolishness, our pride,
- 56:34Speaker 1: or lack of discernment and destroy valuable relationships that can
- 56:39Speaker 1: hold the key to many, many, many, many chapters.
- 56:43Speaker 4: Of my life.
- 56:57Speaker 1: Shave back, I told Scalibrandga devorce, crack at the bell, La,
- 57:01Speaker 1: toss cat to friend, get debel Lacosia. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Now
- 57:11Speaker 1: very quickly, I'll read a scripture and I will show
- 57:14Speaker 1: you how to maintain destiny relationships and will be done
- 57:19Speaker 1: Genesis twenty one for someone. When your life changes and
- 57:29Speaker 1: people ask you, you will tell them I came for
- 57:31Speaker 1: the student congress and I found something. I found a key. Allelujah. Now,
- 57:44Speaker 1: for sake of time, I will save you a lot
- 57:46Speaker 1: of details. Genesis twenty one. Let's start from verse eight.
- 57:51Speaker 1: This was a story between Abraham and his wife Sarah
- 57:57Speaker 1: and a maid called Hagar, the mother of Ishmael. Please
- 58:01Speaker 1: follow very carefully. Let's i'm from verse eight now speaking
- 58:05Speaker 1: about remember when Sarah could not bear a child. Are
- 58:10Speaker 1: we together? Now? Abraham now had a child with Hagar,
- 58:14Speaker 1: and the Bible says something that Hegar was Sarah's maid.
- 58:19Speaker 1: But the moment she had a child and she saw
- 58:22Speaker 1: that she was now in a position of advantage, something
- 58:25Speaker 1: began to happen. She started mocking and acting sony towards Sarah,
- 58:31Speaker 1: and in anger, Sarah banished her and said go Abraham said,
- 58:35Speaker 1: you can't do it, or whatever you want. So this
- 58:37Speaker 1: is a story you're about to learn verse eight very quickly.
- 58:41Speaker 1: And the child grew and was winned, and Abraham made
- 58:44Speaker 1: a fist the same day.
- 58:46Speaker 4: That Isaac was winging uh huh.
- 58:49Speaker 1: And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian now
- 58:53Speaker 1: God giving her own, which was born on to Abraham.
- 58:56Speaker 1: He said, Wherefore, she said, on to Abraham verse cast
- 59:01Speaker 1: out this bond woman and her son, For the son
- 59:04Speaker 1: of the bond woman shall not be heir with my son,
- 59:08Speaker 1: even with Isaac verse eleven. And the thing was very
- 59:13Speaker 1: grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
- 59:18Speaker 4: Now watch this, And God said to.
- 59:20Speaker 1: Abraham, let not it be grievous in your sight, because
- 59:23Speaker 1: of the lad and because of the bond woman. In
- 59:26Speaker 1: all that, Sarah had said onto thee, how come to
- 59:31Speaker 1: her voice, For Isaac shall be thy seed. Shall thy
- 59:35Speaker 1: seed be called for in Isaac, shall thy see be called?
- 59:38Speaker 1: He says, And also the son of the bond woman,
- 59:41Speaker 1: I will make a nation, because he is thy seed.
- 59:46Speaker 1: And Abraham rose off early in the morning. Watch this now,
- 59:50Speaker 1: and took bread and a bottle of water, and drive
- 59:53Speaker 1: it onto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the
- 59:57Speaker 1: child ahah and sent her away. And she departed and
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: did what one that in the wilderness. She came to
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: that house as a maid by reason of all that happened.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: Regardless what happened, God lifted her and shorted her.
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: Now she separated, and.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: One that around the wilderness even to be a shiba.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Next verse, the Bible says, and when the water was
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: one of the shrubs. Uh huh. And she went and
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: sat her down over against him, a good way of
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: as it were a bout shot. For she said, let
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: me not see the death of the child. And she
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: sat over against him, and lift up her voice and wept.
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: Now the lesson begins. And God had the voice of
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: the Lad, and the Angel of God called to Hagar
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: out of heaven and said, what he let thee Hagar
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: fear not, For God has heard the voice of the
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: Lad where he is. Now watch this, He said, our
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: eyes lift up the lad and hold him in the hand,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: for I will make him a great nation verse nineteen.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: of water, and she went and filled the bottle.
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: With water and gave the lad drink.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Next verse and the Bible says, and God was with
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: the Lad, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: and he became an at child, and he dwelt in
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: all of that and all of that. Now, when you
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: read that scripture, let me tell you what I'm trying
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: to pull out. The Bible said something very instructive that
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: bought Hagar and the baby. Two of them were crying.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: But the Bible says when God had he had only
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: the voice of the baby. The Bible never said he
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: had the voice of Sarah of Hagar. How come she
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: was crying and the baby was crying and only the
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: voice of one child went to heaven. You know why
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: because even though she was in rebellion, she had left
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: her maid. That baby that came out of her was
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: still connected to that blessing by covenant. And because of
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: that covenant, God could not deny the child. Even though
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: the mother of the child was in rebellion. He cried,
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: she cried, God only heard the voice of one child.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: Notice God did not even say anything to solve her problem.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Why are you crying all the child? I want to
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: speak about the child and that's it. How can I
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: be crying and a baby is crying and God, here's
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: the cry of the child, and toms and answer civil.
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: I'm not here. Give a water, and now focus on speaking.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: About the child. Because he was connected to Abraham.
- 1:03:19Speaker 4: This is very powerful.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: Write this down, please, How to build lasting destiny relationships?
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: I will only give you two keys. How do I
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: build lasting destiny relationships? Number one. I wrote here. Usually
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: God uses the various faces and stages of your life.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: He uses geographic locations, He uses churches and other occasions
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: to connect you to these relationships. That means relationships happen
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: in our lives primarily by taking advantage of the faces
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: and the stages in your life.
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: For instance school.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Now within that three, four, five, six period period of school,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: there are certain people that God will bring in your life,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: and among them there will be destiny relationships. God can
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: also use your geographic location where you are domicile. God
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: can use your church. Like many of you, now, there
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: was no other way you would have met and known
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: yourselves but for this platform. God can also use other
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: occasions and connect you to these relationships. Now, let me
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: tell you this. When you want to build destiny relationships,
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: I wrote here, you must be driven. You must all
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: be driven by similar foundational values about God and about life.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: It's impossible to build strategic destiny relationships until you are
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: driven by similar values about God and about life. The
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: Bible says in Amos the three and US three can
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: two walk together except they be agreed. The word agreed
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: their means compatible. Similar in the foundational understandings that they have.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: You cannot join yourself to people who do not have.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: You don't agree as far as foundational values are concerned.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: You may define other areas, but not about God and
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: not about life. If someone learning that means before you
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: know who is what being a destiny connection to you,
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: you must have values that govern your life, values about God.
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: When people are lawless and they don't live by values,
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: they don't even know who is what their life or
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: who is not what it, you will open up your heart.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: The Bible says, a man who does not have control
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: over his spirit is like a city that is without wolves.
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: A city without walls is one that is open for anyone, ham, robbers, animals,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: whatever they just flowed into your life. Let me wrap
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: up this teaching quickly by giving you six keys to
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: help you maintain. There's a difference between building and maintaining.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: For building destiny relationships, you must have foundational values and
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: ensure that those who come into your life have consistent
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: or similar values as touching the things of God and
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: touching the matters of life and destiny. And then I
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: told you that God uses the various faces and stages
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: of our lives alongside our geographic location and any of
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: the occasion to bring these people to our lives. But now,
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: the most important lesson I wanted to get in this
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: session is how to maintain destiny relationships. We're going to
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: learn from the mistake of Lot, learn from the mistake
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: of Hagar, learn from the mistake of the early apostles
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: before they were reconnected back to Jesus. Otherwise there would
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: never be apostles in the first place. Six lessons Are
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: you ready? How to maintain destiny relationships and connections? Number one,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Rise are both competitive jealousy. You want to maintain destiny relationships,
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: you must make sure the success of the other party
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: does not threaten you. Rise are both competitive jealousy. I'll
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: give you two scriptures very quickly. Proverbs fourteen thirty. Sorry,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: I'm going to be rushing so that we can finish
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: on time. Proverbs fourteen, verse thirty, and then Proverbs twenty
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: seven and verse four. Proverbs fourteen thirty says, a sound
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: art is the tree of life, but envy is the
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: rottiness of the bones. Proverbs twenty seven and verse four.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Twenty seven and verse four Proverbs Proverbs twenty four. Please
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: help us media. Okay, just write it down for sake
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: of time. So that write it down, you can always
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: go and read it, so that we consuct time. Hallelujah.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: So rise are both competitive jellous. For scripture reference Proverabs
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: fourteen thirty, Proverbs twenty seven and verse four. Alright, it
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: s a rod is cruel and anguy is outrageous. But
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: who is able to stand before envy? Envs? That dangerous
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: Number Two, Avoid evil speaking and backbiting. You want to
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: maintain all relationships, but especially destiny relationships. Avoid evil speaking
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: and avoid backbiting. Right. For reference, Proverbs chapter six from
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: verse sixteen to nineteen. The Bible talks about six things
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: that the Lord hates it hard, that device is evil,
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: one that sows the seed of discord. All of these
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: things God hates Prohabs sixty sixteen to nineteen. Another scripture,
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: Roman sixteen and verse seventeen Roman and verse seventeen. Romans
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: sixteen and verse seventeen. He said, now I besse your brethren,
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: doctrine which we have learned, and avoid them. Is it
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: in your bible? So when you become one who is
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: given to evil speaking and backbiting. The Bible says, to
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: avoid you. It may be the reason why some of
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: us don't have friends. There is no lasting relationship in
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: your life. The life span of any relationship in your
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: life is two weeks. After two weeks, you've gone to
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: say something to tear down people, and they say no, no, no,
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: no this person. The next time another person wants to come,
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: they will advise that person and said, be careful with
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: this lady, be careful with this gentleman. Yes he prays
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: in tongues, but he can tear you with envy and tear.
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: You down with evil speaking.
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: I forbid that over your life in the name of Jesus,
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: titles Chapter three and verse two. Avoid evil speaking, avoid
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: backbiting titles Chapter three and verse two. The Bible says,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: to speak evil of no man, and to be no brawlers,
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: butly provoked, and it thinketh no evil rise above offense
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: Number four. Am I right on that the fourth key.
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: If you want to maintain strategic destiny relationships, practice forgiveness
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: and tolerance. Write it down. Please practice forgiveness and tolerance.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: A man and his wife one time were quarreling. They
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: had a misunderstanding. They were about twelve thirteen years in marriage,
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: and when they met the counselor, the woman was crying
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: and she said, from the day she got married she
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: had never found joy, that she's never been happy. And
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: the man looked with shock on his face and said, so,
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: all the laughter and the joy, the trips, the travels,
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: what happened that you're saying you've never been happy? And
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: the counselor told them, he said, that's how women talk.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: She doesn't mean what she's saying. She just means I
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: am offended right now. And the way she interpreted our
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: face is to say, from the day I got married,
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: I've never found joy. I'm peace in this house. And
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: the man stood there shocked, wandering all the bed day
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: gifts and adversary's travels and all the time. She said,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: you are the the best thing that happened to me.
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: What suddenly changed that you're saying from the day you
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: got married? I said that to teach you the difference
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: between forgiveness and tolerance. Let me teach you the difference
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: between forgiveness and tolerance. Forgiveness means to pardon a default.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: When you forgive, you bring partn to an individual because
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: of a default. But when you tolerate, you create a
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: system of accommodation to manage a limitation that will happen
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: again and again and again. Are you seeing the difference now?
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: You need both forgiveness and tolerance. Remember how many times
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: we go to God and say, Lord, just bless me,
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: and I will never distop you again. God is not
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: forgiving you. He's tolerating you because he knows you're coming
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: back again. For sure. Look at me. The reason why
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: many of you are giving yourself heart attack over relationships,
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: all kinds of relationships, is because you do not know
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: that you need both forgiveness and tolerance. If you keep
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: forgiving what you should tolerate, you will cry every day.
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: I repeat, if you keep forgiving what you should tolerate,
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: you will cry every day. A talkative will always be
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: a talkative. An introverted person will always be an introverted person.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. If a talkative tells you
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: forgive me I was under pressure, I won't talk again.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: If you forgive the person, you are not wise. You
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: need to tolerate eight because five minutes later the person
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: you say, don't think I meant what I said, I
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: was talking like that. Becament practice forgiveness and tolerance. Are
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: you seeing now that the person you are sitting close to,
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: some of you you.
- 1:15:19Speaker 4: Need to forgive them.
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: For others you need to tolerate them. Let me give
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: you two scriptures, Mark eleven and verse twenty five. Mark
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: eleven and verse twenty five. Then I'll give you Collos
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: Chapter three, from verse twelve and thirteen. The Bible says,
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: and when you stand praying forgive, if you have aught
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: against any, that your Father also, which is in heaven,
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: will forgive your trespasses. You must learn to forgive Colloson
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: Chapter three, from verse twelve and thirteen. Collosons three, twelve
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: and thirteen. The Bible says, put on therefore, as the
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: elect of God, powells of messy kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: long suffering. Next verse for peering one another. That's the
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: word there, for bearing one another and forgiving one another.
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: You see, they're not the same. If any man have
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you, so
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: also do you. It's very very important. You must learn forgiveness,
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: and you must lend tolerance. Let me give you the
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: remaining two number is that five? What is the fifth
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: key to maintaining strategic destiny relationships? Write this down. You
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: must be an active contributor to the growth of the
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: other party or the parties involved. You must be an
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: active contributal to the growth of the other party or
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: the parties involved. You must be an active contributal to
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: the growth of the other party or the parties involved.
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: In ants Chapter twenty and verse thirty five, very popular scripture.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: The Bible says there that it is more blessed to
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: give than to receive. There are many people whose relationship
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: is called parasitic relationships. They are users, they are takers.
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: They are not interested in giving anything. The day they
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: call you is because they have a need. The day
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: they come to your house is because they have trouble
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: and they are exhausted all their options. Can I tell
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: you this, Nobody will be indefinitely committed to you if
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: they know that you are just a user and a taker.
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: The world does not embrace and celebrate users. You must
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: be an active contributor to that relationship. Now, please look
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: up even our relationship with our precious Jesus. It looks
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: like we are serving him and just serving him until
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: you see what he has giving us, and he continues
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: to give us the breath that we have, the life
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: that we enjoy, the health, the favor, all of these
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: great things. When we begin to count our blessings and
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: to name them one by one, the hymn writer says,
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: it will surprise us what the Lord has done. Are
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: we together? Let me tell you this. Never commit yourself
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: indefinitely to any relationship that does not actively contribute to
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: your grouth.
- 1:19:03Speaker 4: The contribution is mutual.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: It is dangerous to be the only one giving the prayer,
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: the only one giving the money.
- 1:19:13Speaker 4: They are giving the support.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: Giving everything, and the other party all they are doing
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: is just to be taking. No, It's a dangerous kind
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: of relationship. I used to have these interesting people because
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: by the privilege of God's grace, I try and do
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: my best to be there for as many people. And
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: there are all these people. Who is when they need help,
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: you just get a text Calgary greeting is a possible
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ. It's been a long
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: time I've not kept in touch. That text is following
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: the real text coming now. Then it says sorry, just
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: to let you know that in my rent we have
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: come again.
- 1:19:55Speaker 4: I hope you are not angry for one year.
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: They don't care how you are when I you woke up,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: whether you cried, whether you laughed, that's none of their business.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: The moment there is a need here they come again.
- 1:20:07Speaker 4: There are some of you.
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: You are like that as you are looking at me,
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: taken your biological parents. You don't send them a text
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: to say God bless you. But when there is a need,
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: when you have a bad dream, something is pursuing you.
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: You are coming from your village. All of a sudden
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: you call somebody and say, sorry, it's been a while.
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: Did you say you have a conference somewhere? Can I
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: tell you this? No body becomes indefinitely committed to you
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: if you don't pay attention to people. Relationships are investments
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: is fraud to one day return over an investment you
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: did not make. Let me tell you sincerely, And I
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: say this by God. As busy as I may seem
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: to be, there are people whose call I cannot ignore
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: because of the level and the extent of investments have
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: made in my life. There are people today when I call,
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: no matter what they are doing, they will stop and
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: pay attention to it because of the level of investment
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: I've made in their lives. Now, let me tell you
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: the mistake with our world. Don't want to sit in
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: the position of intimacy over a relationship you did not
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: invest in. Then that Jesus and the mother of James
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: and John said, can you grant that my sons will
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: sit at your left and right? Jesus said, this press
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: is available, but there is a condition. Can you drink
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: of my cop and be baptized with my baptism. There
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: are people today, even if I wake them by two
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: a m. And I tell them listen, I'm stranded at
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: the road, they will get up and drive to come
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: and pick me. Not because I'm a man of God.
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: Let me assure you every relationship does not hold the
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: same value. There are relationships that many. There are people
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: who can give up anything for certain relationships. I've had
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: the honor and the privilege of meeting many of our
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: fathers of faith.
- 1:22:15Speaker 4: I am amazed that as busy.
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: As they are, that are strategic relationships that, regardless their schedules,
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: they will invest in with joy and with honor. Don't
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: expect me to give you the same attention with someone
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: who thinks I am valuable to him? Or it can't
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: be the same way we're happening up. Let me have
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: two people. I want to teach you something powerful. God
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: bless you. My friend. You stand here, just the turn
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: face crowd, my friend stand here. Now watch this. If
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: this sent man she has about me so much are
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: we together now that every time I meet him, maybe
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: he's holding a bottle of water and saying, Apostle, take
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: you may need this to quench your thirst. And every
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: time he said how are you? How is your health?
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: How is your body? Everything that involves my life, he's
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: interested in it. You cannot expect me to be committed
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: to this man the same way I will be committed
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: to someone who maybe one day only when he has
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: a need and he will send a text and say, Apostle,
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: bless you. Can you speak over my life? Today's my birthday.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: I will speak God, bless you. God had yes, and
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: with all my life to your yes in Jesus name. Amen.
- 1:23:48Speaker 4: But for this man, if he.
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: Tells me, Apostle, I have headache, I will buy him
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: a pharmacy, not a drug. It is someone there now
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: why because he has placed value on my life and
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: my destiny. I can't see how my life has advanced
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: because of his contribution. I will not ignore him. Please
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: hear me. Next time you see men of God or
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: your lecturers, pay attention to certain people within the boundaries
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: of purity. Now I'm teaching you this that when you
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: see people pay attention to certain people more than others,
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: don't get jealous. Find out the investment and the contributions
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: they have made. When I was thirsty, you didn't bring
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: me water to drink. There are people today. I have
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: blessed them generally, I have not made any significant personal
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: investments in their lives. I would be stupid to expect
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: them to give.
- 1:24:56Speaker 4: Me such attention.
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: I can't demand that because I've not made the requcised
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: level of investment. Now look up, please, you can be
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: this man who pays attention to the people that matter
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: to your destiny, or you can be this man who
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: does not care about anyone but wants to claim is
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: taking people's success. The moment people succeed, you say, remember
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: I pray for you in the secret. Let God who
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: sees you in the secret, reward you there. But since
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: I did not see you, for sure you not get
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: anything from me. Is someone learning. This man you see
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: Compass or Sam. I will tell you one of the
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: reasons why almost every year I think, without fail I
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: come here for many people. They wonder, and they wonder
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: why is it? Number One? Because I love Jesus. Number
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: one because I sincerely love your journal over sea and
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: the entire leadership and the ministry. I believe in what
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: God is doing. But listen, in addition to that, you
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: see this man here. This man has mastered the art
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: of investing in honor. Now, I'm not talking of human worship. No,
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: there are people. What they are demanding for a human
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: worship that is nonsense.
- 1:26:41Speaker 4: You see that.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: Every time you show people that you place value on them.
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: There are people who have come for me to pray
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: for them. I just laid hands and said, God, bless
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: you give me. I know nothing left me to them.
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: I just wanted them to give me a chance to
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: enter the cast where I can go. Because the attitude
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: they came with, I know that no matter how I pray,
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: nothing will lead me to them. And I'm not talking
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: of kneeling down. You can kneel down and still be standing.
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: Could it be that this is why some of you
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: have not received from the grace that is upon this
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: vision and upon this ministry. Because everybody is the same
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: to you, it doesn't matter which speaker comes to preach.
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: You just look at them. You can see old people
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: like our parents here come to talk to you, and
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: you look at you are just laughing. Let me edit
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: what they're saying. I'm not sure they know what they're saying.
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: And it's not like you have any results. Most people
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: who don't have results are the ones who sit down
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: to assess the works of people who are producing results.
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: When I stand before great people, I stand like a
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: sponge with my art open to receive. Yes, I'm aparian,
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: but I humble myself to listen and to learn. We're
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: going to pray. You can be this man ready to
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: discern the relationships that are very important and strategic. You
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: can be this man ready to trip your life. Everybody,
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: including Jesus Christ. What is there is the King of kings,
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: and I ask him to die is enough? I've given
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: my life to him. If you can't make there are
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: other people. There are people like that. Nothing is ever.
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: I want your attention in life. I want you to
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: learn a lesson from this, your leader, learn a lesson
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: from him. Humility and honor does not reduce you. In fact,
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: it multiplies you. I'm saying this because may God have
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: messy on us so that we don't become a very
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: proud generation that tries to show glamor over nothing. It
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: is said that the empty gung makes the loudest noise.
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: You know great people by their humility to honor, the
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: investment of God over others, and their willingness to learn
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: and to receive. This may be a hard teaching, but
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: you will thank me for it, and you will thank
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: your leaders for it. You will go back to your
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: various stations and the difference will be clear between you
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: and other people. In one week, you will see that
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: stract people have gravitated towards your life, and your life
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: begins to move from one level to the other. Allelujah, God,
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: bless yourself. Please all rise, Let's rise up. What's that?
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: So you're following number six? What is the sixth key
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: to maintaining destiny? Relationships? Practice genuine love, practice genuine love.
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I remember a few years ago,
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: maybe like four or five years a gentleman called me.
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: I was crying, and was crying and was crying. True story,
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: What happened? The gentleman said, I'm not lazy, apostle. My
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: final result just came out and I did very well.
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: But I had one single cause and it was a
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: second semester course, he said, and where we like get
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: the money? Me that I was happy that at least
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: I would rest. You know, my mother has been waiting
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: to just here that my final result. And he cried
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: and cried, and he said, well, he did not even
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: call me to pray for him, maybe for a waiver
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: or whatever it is. He just said, please, I should
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: pray for him. That God will help the mother understand.
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: And then number two, that God who opened doors of favor.
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: But he said he believed that he did that exam well,
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: and I said, really so, true story. I asked the person,
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: I said, which school is that? Which university? And he
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: mentioned the name. I said, with faculty. When he mentioned
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: the name, I said, are you a serial student? Said yes,
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: this and that and that, and I told him, I said,
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: all right, may God bless you. Whatever happens, call me.
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: True story. Little did a gentleman know that I prayed
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: for someone in their faculty not too long and I
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: called the person. I said, please, I said for the text.
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: The man said to me to thank me. And when
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: I found it, I said, please, sir, I know you
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: respect God and you respect me. There is something I
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: want to ask you for my apostle. What is it?
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: And I said, there is this gentleman who called me
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: so so, so so so and so is the name.
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: And the man asked a few questions and I told
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: him I said that. He said, course, please. I'm not
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: saying you people should go and compromise on standards, but
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: maybe you may need to look into this for this gentleman.
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: He cried, and I truly understand his situation. And the
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: man kept quiet. True story. He kept quiet for about
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: a few seconds and he said, he said it is well.
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: He said, no problem. I will get back to you.
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: About three or four days later, I received a text
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: around two am, this guy saying he can't believe it.
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: God is a miracle worker. God is said this God
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: can wipe the tears of people. That can. I imagine
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: they I think they gave them permission. I said, if
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: it is a department mental cause or something like that,
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: they can wave it and that they called him, and
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: the person told him that he will not tell him
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: who said this, but they should pray. And the person
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: was saying a possible I don't know who God, and
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: I kept quiet. When he finished, I told him, I said,
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: make sure when God lives you, you'll do the same
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: for others. And the gentleman went, Can I tell you
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: every blessing comes from God through men? Delay comes from Satan?
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: True men to men. One man who should sign for
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: your promotion can say, your father offended me. You would
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: remain here and the person will sit on it and
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: you will remain there. As if God does not answering
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: your prayer. Can I tell you when God says yes
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: and men say no, Yes.
- 1:33:48Speaker 4: Remains in the realm of the spirit.
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: It will take good God and men to say yes.
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: For yes too, manifest year, rise upon your feet.
- 1:33:59Speaker 4: Let me give you two scriptures.
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: Proverabs ten and verse twelve talks about love, and I
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: believe he talks about a friend hatreads tretop strife, but
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: he said love cover ret all scenes. John eleven thirty
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: five Popular scripture. By this shall all men know? John?
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: Is it eleven? Please look forward for me? By this
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: shall all men know that you are My disciples? When
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: you have love one to another? Can someone find that
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: scripture for me? I think I made a mistake. He
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: had my text? By this, shall all men know someone
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: searched for me? Please? Ah John fifteen. Who has found it? John?
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: John thirteen okay, thirteen thirty five? I wrote eleven here
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: my apologies, John thirteen thirty five. Let's read it together
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: finally before we pray? By this, shall all men know
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: that ye are my disciples? Now, everybody stand, please, thank
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: you for your patience. I'm about to give you an
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: instruction right now, and then we'll pray. Please, everyone stand,
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: because your life is about to change. Hallelujah. Now listen,
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: please listen carefully. There are four expressions I learnt in
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: my life that work to one that's in my life
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: as far as relationships are concerned. Number one, please write
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: it down. That word please is a miracle word. It
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: can open doors for you, even if it's demons that
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: close the door. Please. It's a statement that shows that
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: you have value on people and you show courtesy. Please.
- 1:36:11Speaker 4: Number two, I am sorry.
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: These are miracle expressions that have worked wonders in the
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: lives of great leaders. Please write it down, please. Number one,
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: and then number two, I am sorry. Don't say sorry.
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: Who is sorry? Every time you say I am sorry,
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: you demonstrate maturity, you demonstrate responsibility, and you bring people
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: to a point where they remember again that you are human.
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: I am sorry means I can be better than I
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: was yesterday. Number three, God bless you. Write it down, Please,
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: God bless you. These are miracle expressions that I have
