Transcript
- 0:00Corporate people, let me challenge you in one minute.
- 0:02Anyone here who is a business owner, captain of industry in
- 0:06this house, let me challenge you.
- 0:08Go and translate the fruit of the spirit into policies.
- 0:13Let it become the code of conduct and the modus operandi
- 0:18that governs your company, void of sentiments and watch what
- 0:22happens. I give you a guarantee.
- 0:24Turn it into policies. It doesn't matter whether your
- 0:28company captures believers, non believers.
- 0:31You see, the fruit of the Spirit was not supposed to produce
- 0:34fanatics. It was supposed to produce
- 0:36Christ like individuals. If you're becoming a Christian
- 0:41cannot allow you to be a blessing to non Christians, you
- 0:43are not an authentic Christian. This is not a promotion of
- 0:48fanaticism. I'm a friend to many people.
- 0:50I have my values, but I'm a friend to believers, non
- 0:54believers. I meet with them in the course
- 0:57of the things that we do. We interact with all kinds of
- 0:59people. Are we together?
- 1:03Use the fruit of the Spirit. Design your policies.
- 1:07You're my driver. This is the policy.
- 1:10I want a joyful person smiling every day.
- 1:12If there is a reason why you cannot smile, let me know.
- 1:15Don't hold bitterness. Open up to me.
- 1:17Are we together? Politely?
- 1:19So come up with a policy. All the only kind of criticism
- 1:24allowed in this corporation is constructive criticism.
- 1:29If it will move the company forward, I am for it.
- 1:32If you are tearing other people, leave the company.
- 1:35It's better to lose one person than to lose the future of the
- 1:38company. Who is learning.
- 1:41Parents use this to govern your house.
- 1:44Don't let people carry their atmosphere, Antichrist
- 1:47Babylonian atmosphere and just come from the knock, you know,
- 1:50is that there's a familiar, there's a strange spirit about
- 1:53to enter your house. Now in this house, when someone
- 1:59goes wrong, you say I'm sorry immediately specifically, and it
- 2:03ends there. In this family, everybody's
- 2:06everybody's keeper. Are we together?
- 2:09In this family, there is mutual respect.
- 2:12There's no such thing as first born, last born.
- 2:14Everybody respects everybody in this family.
- 2:18The man is head, not alpha and Omega, so he can apologize if
- 2:23he's wrong. It doesn't matter that his
- 2:25father. Are we together?
- 2:29The day the children shout at the father, you don't tell, it's
- 2:31your fault. No, you don't shout at your
- 2:34father. That is wrong, my colleague
- 2:38shouts at his father in school. It is wrong with him, wrong with
- 2:41you. And if I catch you with that boy
- 2:43again, are we together? You're laughing.
- 2:47But I mean what I'm saying. The fruit of the spirit should
- 2:51not only be in us, it should be translated into policies.
- 2:56That becomes the environment for business, the environment for
- 3:00governance, the environment for leadership.
- 3:03I'm I'm giving you many of you when you are, you are policy
- 3:07makers. I'm giving you a challenge.
- 3:09Go and use the template of the put together 12 or 13 character
- 3:17traits that represent the nature of God as found in Christ.
- 3:22Translate them into a business friendly atmosphere and watch
- 3:26what happens that every climes that comes to this place, you
- 3:29greet them with courtesy. You demonstrate the nature of
- 3:32Christ. See what happens to your
- 3:34productivity. You know the thing I like about
- 3:36faith. The gospel must be taught in a
- 3:38way that is is useful to society.
- 3:42I don't believe in teaching truths that produce fanatics
- 3:45without a point of application. As far as you're becoming,
- 3:49you're excelling and the building of a nation is
- 3:51concerned. With all due respect, let me
- 3:55challenge our correctional centers.
- 3:57Review what you are using to correct prisoners.
- 4:00If not, they are only going out to return back again.
- 4:04Don't steal is not how you turn thieves to Saints.
- 4:08I recommend with every sense of joy the fruit of the spirit.
- 4:14Yes Sir, turn it into programs. If you walk in prisons here,
- 4:20hear me. It's my honest recommendation.
- 4:23Turn it into programs. Don't just say you know, you see
- 4:29what you are doing. You are now here and depends.
- 4:32Well, I'm here. You think you would change like
- 4:33that? No, the deliverance part, you
- 4:36can do it or connect them to Koenonia.
- 4:39Let me help you undo that one. But once they are done, that
- 4:44rehabilitation. Listen, let me tell you the
- 4:47truth. If I were a policy maker from a
- 4:50governmental standpoint, I will put together people and
- 4:54recommend policies. And before you bring a policy,
- 4:57you must tell me the reference. Where did it come from?
- 5:02Are we together so that we see where it has worked before you
- 5:06implement it? Don't ship everything to your
- 5:09organization and say one somebody run a business with it.
- 5:12Did it produce results? You teach the people within your
- 5:17organization. When one person cries, everybody
- 5:20cries. That's how you build unity.
- 5:25Are we together? When you are about to reward
- 5:28excellence, you start by appreciating everybody.
- 5:31Then you appreciate the person who was uniquely exceptional.
- 5:34The remaining fine consolation, because you started by telling
- 5:37them thank you too. But when you isolate others and
- 5:40you say you are not like this other foolish people, you have
- 5:43brought a lot of money to this corporation, you make them hate
- 5:46him. That was the mistake of Jacob.
- 5:48Jacob would have appreciated all his sons then.
- 5:51He would have now given Joseph a coat of many colors.
- 5:54But he kept loving only Joseph and shouting it, and the
- 5:59brothers hated him for three reasons.
- 6:02Let me do a crash course and teach you 3 reasons why men hate
- 6:04you #1 men who hate you because of the love of your father
- 6:08towards you, in this case God. Number two, men who hate you
- 6:13because of your dreams. They hated Joseph because of his
- 6:16dream. Number three men hated him
- 6:19because of the gift his father gave him, the coat of many
- 6:22colors.
