LIVING A LIFE THAT COUNTS (2025 SPECIAL BIRTHDAY BROADCAST) WITH APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  Hallelujah, Amen. God bless you everybody.
• 0:08
  Good morning. Thank you so much for making the
• 0:10
  time to be here. Please be seated.
• 0:13
  Please be seated in Jesus name. Please be seated.
• 0:23
  Hallelujah, we bless the Lord for this day.
• 0:27
  It's a great day for me and it's an honor to be alive, and I
• 0:32
  thank the Lord for the privilege to be alive.
• 0:35
  Thank you for making the time. Those outside, my apologies if
• 0:42
  there are no seats and because of the sun, whatever it is, just
• 0:47
  make that sacrifice in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 0:50
  We're doing the best. I'm not sure there's any space
• 0:53
  anywhere else, but in the name of Jesus protocol everybody,
• 0:58
  let's make sure that there are no empty seats whilst we have
• 1:01
  people standing anywhere and everywhere and particularly for
• 1:05
  those outside. Please let me request, be
• 1:08
  orderly and be patient. No rowdiness so that it doesn't
• 1:12
  bring any health hazard or any other issue whatsoever.
• 1:16
  The Lord will help us in Jesus name.
• 1:18
  I'm truly grateful to everyone for making the time.
• 1:21
  We'll be as brief as possible. Thank you and the Lord bless
• 1:25
  you. It's always my culture to charge
• 1:27
  our hearts on a day like this. Pastor Godwin, thank you so much
• 1:32
  for taking the time to be with us.
• 1:34
  I really appreciate you in the name of Jesus.
• 1:37
  Pastor Abuja Brill, thank you so much.
• 1:39
  You're part of the family, but we do not take you and your dear
• 1:42
  wife for granted. The Lord honor you in Jesus
• 1:45
  name, Hallelujah. So I'm going to be talking very
• 1:49
  briefly on living a life that counts.
• 1:52
  Living a life that counts. My discussion very quickly will
• 1:57
  be on living the life that counts.
• 2:00
  The Lord inspired me to just share this as a charge this
• 2:05
  morning. We live in a world where people
• 2:08
  desperately desire meaning to their lives.
• 2:11
  They want to see their lives count.
• 2:13
  They want to see themselves great, they want to taste of
• 2:20
  success, at least at one point or the other within the course
• 2:23
  of their lives. And for others, they eventually
• 2:27
  stumble into it at various levels.
• 2:30
  But many sadly never have the opportunity to live lives of
• 2:33
  meaning, lives of purpose, and lives that count.
• 2:37
  And so I thought as inspired by the Holy Spirit, to just deposit
• 2:41
  something upon our hearts for many of the things I'll be
• 2:44
  sharing there, reminders especially for those who are
• 2:47
  really connected in this house. But then all the same, it will
• 2:53
  build us and help us to be people of wisdom and people of
• 2:59
  power, living a life that counts.
• 3:02
  I want to start by recapping on a statement that I made.
• 3:05
  I think it was last year or year before last.
• 3:08
  During the broadcast like this, it just occurred to me to pull
• 3:14
  that statement and read out, and then I'll begin to share a few
• 3:17
  keys. I wrote that our world is full
• 3:21
  of sad, depressed, frustrated, lonely, angry, suicidal people
• 3:31
  who have lost hope, who have lost joy and have lost meaning
• 3:36
  to life. This is a very sad but true
• 3:39
  statement that for the most part, when you look at our world
• 3:43
  today, you find people who are largely sad, largely depressed,
• 3:49
  frustrated, haven't tried and tried to make their lives work
• 3:53
  and failed. People who are lonely.
• 3:57
  People who are angry, angry at themselves and every other
• 4:00
  person, with or without a cause. People who are suicidal.
• 4:06
  People who have lost the joy of living, they've lost hope,
• 4:11
  they've lost joy, many have lost meaning to their lives.
• 4:15
  And yet the Bible is very clear as to the fact that when Jesus
• 4:18
  came, he said, I am come John 1010 that ye may have life, and
• 4:24
  that you have that life more. Abundantly, it is God's desire
• 4:29
  in His prophetic program for you and I, and for all who are
• 4:33
  connected online, that we live lives of meaning.
• 4:36
  We live lives of purpose within the time given to us.
• 4:41
  We call it your lifetime. From the moment you are born up
• 4:44
  until the day you transit in glory, it is called your
• 4:48
  lifetime. And God gives you that
• 4:50
  opportunity to serve His purposes.
• 4:53
  Taste of Victory and. Dominion, live a life of meaning
• 4:57
  with joy and rest and peace. And I'm praying in the name of
• 5:00
  Jesus that the words you're about to hear will inspire you
• 5:04
  there. Are keys.
• 5:07
  That can help any individual to live a life that counts.
• 5:11
  That at the end of your life you look at yourself and you will be
• 5:16
  glad. You will be happy for the kind
• 5:20
  of life you have. Lived.
• 5:22
  I was teaching, wrapping up a program in South Africa, I think
• 5:26
  two years ago or three, and it happened to be the youth
• 5:31
  expression of that. Meeting and.
• 5:34
  I sampled 3 people. I asked one to stand at the
• 5:37
  extreme left, one to stand at the middle, and then the other
• 5:41
  to stand at the extreme right. Please lend me your attention.
• 5:45
  And I said the one at the extreme left, let that be the
• 5:49
  youngest version of you. The 1 standing in the middle,
• 5:53
  let that be the current version of you.
• 5:58
  And the other one standing in the extreme left, let that be
• 6:01
  the future version of you. I meant to say then the current
• 6:04
  version of you, then the wine behind, let that be the youngest
• 6:08
  version of you. And I wanted a discussion
• 6:12
  between these three people. So a discussion between the
• 6:16
  youngest you, the now you and the future you.
• 6:20
  I wanted to call three of them to a meeting.
• 6:23
  Because I was. Interested in hearing what they
• 6:25
  would say? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 6:28
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 6:31
  Reverend Sam is here. God bless you, Sir.
• 6:33
  Thank you. Thank you so, so much.
• 6:35
  Hallelujah. He can sit on my seat.
• 6:38
  That's fine. He shouldn't sit there.
• 6:39
  Please honour him. Let him sit.
• 6:41
  It doesn't make any difference. I'm on stage from stage.
• 6:44
  I'm leaving this place, so please sit.
• 6:46
  You're most welcome, Sir. Please usher him.
• 6:48
  Warehouse of Honour. Please give him that honour.
• 6:51
  Let him sit. Hallelujah.
• 6:54
  Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah.
• 6:57
  And so back to my illustration, a discussion between three
• 7:00
  people who happen to be the same person at different time ranges.
• 7:07
  So we have the younger version of you, the current version of
• 7:12
  you and the future version of you.
• 7:15
  Listen to the conversation. The young you tells the whole
• 7:18
  you, how are you, Sir? And he says I'm fine.
• 7:22
  And he says, how are you, young man?
• 7:24
  He says, well, I don't know because my time is up already.
• 7:28
  And then he looks at the old man and says, do you have any lesson
• 7:34
  for me? And he says a lot of lessons.
• 7:37
  Unfortunately, I don't have time to correct the mistakes I've
• 7:40
  made. But here's the lesson.
• 7:43
  I was once you. I had the opportunity with
• 7:48
  ignorance what I had time. And for some it would be that I
• 7:52
  wasted my time experimenting my life without knowledge and now I
• 7:57
  have become this version that is speaking, he said.
• 8:00
  Now you have an opportunity. Don't be like me even though you
• 8:04
  are me. That's the older you talking to
• 8:07
  the younger you. And the current one is listening
• 8:10
  to the conversation between two time zones and it's all the same
• 8:13
  person. And he's having an opportunity
• 8:16
  to hear his former self and his future self discussing.
• 8:22
  And he's given the opportunity to choose whether he will follow
• 8:26
  the advice of his yesterday self or the future one who's now most
• 8:30
  likely living in regrets and so on and so forth.
• 8:33
  And when I touch those young people, I touch them that in
• 8:37
  life there are things if you do not know and know on time, it
• 8:43
  will take the grace of God to have the wherewithal to correct
• 8:47
  any mistakes. There are mistakes you can
• 8:49
  correct, but there are some you cannot correct.
• 8:52
  Again, it becomes a scar upon your life forever.
• 8:56
  And so I'm teaching about living a life that counts.
• 9:00
  And I'll be sharing with you a few keys by the messes of God
• 9:04
  that can help anyone, anyone including you, to live a life of
• 9:08
  meaning. A life of purpose and a life
• 9:11
  that counts. It's my desire, my prayer, my
• 9:13
  hope, my wish for you. That beginning from today,
• 9:17
  everyone will begin to live lives that are intentional and
• 9:20
  lives that are purpose driven. You receive that prayer, shout
• 9:24
  Amen. Key number one, key number 1,
• 9:28
  and in order of priority. I do not believe anyone can live
• 9:33
  a life that counts outside of a genuine encounter and a genuine
• 9:39
  experience with the Lord Jesus. As simple as this sounds, please
• 9:44
  do not trivialize this statement.
• 9:45
  I am convinced, and I can only speak from the lens of my own
• 9:49
  experience alongside that of people whose results I trust.
• 9:54
  I have seen, I believe I've tasted of that.
• 9:57
  The life of meaning begins with an encounter and an experience
• 10:03
  with Jesus. John chapter 1010 we read
• 10:05
  earlier on the thief comment not but for to steal, to kill and to
• 10:09
  destroy. He says, but I am come that ye
• 10:12
  might have life and that you have it more abundantly.
• 10:16
  The starting point to anyone's journey of greatness is Jesus.
• 10:22
  Jesus. I know we teach on discovering
• 10:25
  yourself and that's wonderful. I know we teach on being
• 10:28
  educated and that's wonderful, but in order of spiritual
• 10:32
  priority, you officially start living not the day you are born,
• 10:37
  but the day you are saved. Hallelujah.
• 10:40
  The day you are saved is when the time clock of life, life
• 10:45
  abundant, begins to read. And there are many things we
• 10:49
  receive when we come to Christ life.
• 10:52
  The Bible calls it first John 511 and 10:00 and 11:00.
• 10:57
  First, John 5:10 and 11:00 the apostle was speaking and he made
• 11:02
  a very profound statement. He that believes on the Son of
• 11:04
  God, you know has life, there is a record.
• 11:08
  And then verse 11, he says, and this is the record that God had
• 11:13
  given us eternal life and this life is in his Son.
• 11:18
  Verse 12 now says he that had the Son had life.
• 11:22
  The only way to have this kind of life we're talking about is
• 11:26
  to receive the Son. The Bible says as many as
• 11:29
  received him, He gave them power to become.
• 11:32
  So we find life when we encounter Jesus #2 we find peace
• 11:38
  when we encounter Jesus. John 1427.
• 11:42
  We discussed that a few weeks ago in this house.
• 11:44
  John 1427 Peace, peace Jesus is speaking, peace I live with you,
• 11:50
  my peace I give unto you. He says not as the world give
• 11:54
  it, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
• 11:58
  afraid. We read it earlier on again
• 12:00
  Philippians 4 and verse 7. It says that the peace of God
• 12:04
  that surpasseth all understanding, let it keep or
• 12:08
  guard your hearts and guard your minds through Jesus Christ.
• 12:12
  What else do we find when we encounter Christ?
• 12:14
  Joy first. Peter one verse 8 calls it joy
• 12:18
  unspeakable and full of glory. Joy unspeakable and full of
• 12:24
  glory. We find joy when we encounter
• 12:28
  Him. What else do we find when we
• 12:30
  encounter Jesus, Genuinely encounter him, We find a reason
• 12:35
  to leave, a reason to leave, a reason that will employ and
• 12:40
  deploy you for all your lifetime without exhaustion, a reason to
• 12:44
  leave. Jeremiah 2911.
• 12:46
  I know the thoughts that I think towards you, said the Lord.
• 12:49
  It calls it thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an
• 12:54
  expected end. There's always an expected end
• 12:58
  for everyone, especially everyone in Christ.
• 13:02
  John 1516 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and I
• 13:07
  have ordained you that you should go forth and bring forth
• 13:11
  fruit, and that your fruit should abide.
• 13:15
  So we find through our encounter and our experience of Jesus
• 13:19
  life, we find their peace, we find their joy, we find their
• 13:26
  purpose and meaning. You believe that say Amen.
• 13:31
  Anyone who desires to live a life that counts in all your
• 13:34
  getting, in all your seeking the strategies to make your life
• 13:39
  count and in order of priority, it begins with Jesus.
• 13:43
  We have taught in this house that the formula must not be
• 13:46
  compromised in the beginning. God, you compromise on that
• 13:50
  formula, your life will go upside down #2 The second key to
• 13:55
  living a life of meaning and purpose is transformation.
• 13:59
  This is powerful. I will always emphasize this
• 14:04
  transformation, contending for a superior belief system, a belief
• 14:11
  system greater than the context that brought you, a belief
• 14:16
  system greater than your current context.
• 14:21
  You see that you will only become great and make a mark in
• 14:27
  your life and in your generation to the degree to which you
• 14:30
  intentionally contend for a superior belief system.
• 14:36
  Let me say a few things about belief systems.
• 14:39
  I wrote something here that a superior belief system is beyond
• 14:44
  being more Western. So when I talk about having a
• 14:48
  superior belief system, I'm not just talking about being more
• 14:51
  Western. With all due respect, I'm not
• 14:54
  just talking of sounding like a white man for want of word or
• 14:58
  just having secular enlightenment is beyond that.
• 15:02
  A sustained a superior belief system is beyond being more
• 15:07
  academic. Being more academic does not
• 15:10
  necessarily translate to having a superior belief system.
• 15:15
  It could help, but it doesn't on its own guarantee that.
• 15:18
  A superior belief system does not mean being more logical.
• 15:23
  There are many people who are more logical and scientific, but
• 15:26
  it doesn't mean that they have a superior belief system.
• 15:30
  So when we talk about sustaining a superior belief system, we
• 15:34
  mean living by the word. We mean becoming more what
• 15:38
  compliant with your life. Are we together?
• 15:41
  We mean sustaining the mind, the thinking of Christ.
• 15:45
  Every time we talk about belief systems, please let your mind go
• 15:49
  to the Word of God. Don't just think tech, Don't
• 15:53
  just think books. Don't just think it.
• 15:56
  As wonderful as that is, you can be very enlightened and not be
• 16:00
  transformed. Transformation for the believer
• 16:03
  is with respect to the word of God.
• 16:07
  Hallelujah. If transformation where with
• 16:10
  respect to Westernization then there would be a class of people
• 16:14
  on earth that did not need transformation, but the Bible
• 16:17
  mandates all men is a be ye transformed and that by the
• 16:21
  renewing of your mind and that happens through the word of God
• 16:25
  to the degree to which your life and your mind is what compliant
• 16:30
  as a habit. That is the degree to which you
• 16:33
  are transformed. Consciously probe into your
• 16:37
  beliefs. I wrote here.
• 16:38
  Please listen. Consciously probe into your
• 16:42
  beliefs and only retain superior ward compliant belief systems.
• 16:48
  It is your responsibility as a commitment to your desire to
• 16:54
  being great to sample all the thoughts that make up your
• 16:59
  belief system and begin to unemotionally edit them,
• 17:04
  unemotionally edit them, consciously probe into your
• 17:09
  belief systems and only retain superior ward compliant belief
• 17:15
  systems. Don't say we are all like that
• 17:18
  in our family. You can change.
• 17:20
  It's an ability God gave men. Don't say we are all like that
• 17:23
  in this country. You can change.
• 17:26
  The Bible says be transformed. Be transformed by the renewing
• 17:31
  of your mind. Are we learning now?
• 17:34
  This is the second key. Your life will be a mess.
• 17:37
  Less reflection of your belief systems.
• 17:40
  Your life never becomes a reflection of your desire.
• 17:44
  Your life never becomes a reflection of your intentions.
• 17:48
  It becomes a reflection of your belief system.
• 17:52
  You desire great and you think like a failure.
• 17:55
  Sadly, your life will be that of a failure.
• 17:58
  I've taught you in this house that there is what we call the
• 18:00
  winners mentality and in truth, there is a loser's mentality.
• 18:06
  The individual does not have to be bad.
• 18:08
  You have just received a software that programs you like.
• 18:12
  A beautiful laptop can have a terrible virus in it.
• 18:16
  You see, the virus does not affect the beauty of the laptop,
• 18:21
  it only affects delivery of results.
• 18:23
  So you can be well packaged, full of a lot of lies, well
• 18:27
  packaged, full of a lot of inferior thoughts.
• 18:31
  It is your assignment. Nobody inherits transformation.
• 18:35
  In transformation is not an impartation, it's a conscious
• 18:39
  work. You take advantage of the Word
• 18:41
  of God. You take advantage of the
• 18:44
  ministry of the Holy Spirit, fueled by your hunger, your
• 18:48
  hatred for a life of mediocrity. All these mixed together like
• 18:52
  ingredients, they propel you towards a transformed life.
• 18:55
  Say I contend for transformation.
• 18:58
  Say it like you're understanding my teaching.
• 19:00
  I contend for transformation. Hallelujah.
• 19:04
  Yeah, let me tell you the truth. The man who you cannot help is
• 19:10
  the man who refuses to change, not the man who has a demonic
• 19:14
  problem that's an easy one to solve, not the man who is
• 19:19
  unsaved that's an easy problem to solve, not the man who is a
• 19:23
  failure. The man who is a failure is even
• 19:25
  more prepared to be a success than the one who has not failed.
• 19:29
  The one who has failed has an experience that will help him
• 19:33
  quickly. At least he's failed on time so
• 19:36
  he can succeed. But the man who refuses to
• 19:39
  change. When you become loyal to a an
• 19:43
  inferior belief system, you become married to it and you
• 19:47
  stay there. You have defined your
• 19:49
  limitation. I pray for you in the name of
• 19:52
  Jesus Christ that every belief system that has become a an ally
• 19:58
  with Satan to trap your life to keep you down, to keep you
• 20:02
  mediocre and keep you weak in spite of your desire to be
• 20:06
  great. I declare an.
• 20:08
  Official divorce between you and that mindset in the name of
• 20:12
  Jesus #3 the third key that you must engage.
• 20:18
  I thought this on Sunday. Let me repeat it again.
• 20:20
  Value and contribution. Please don't take these words
• 20:24
  lightly. These are life changing
• 20:26
  principles. You want to live a life that
• 20:29
  counts. It is not without being valuable
• 20:32
  and being productive. Value and contribution.
• 20:36
  Value and productive. You have to be extremely
• 20:41
  valuable. Our world has standards To
• 20:43
  reward value, it must be extreme, extremely refined and
• 20:48
  extremely useful. Let me recap on my message on
• 20:52
  Sunday if you allow me. Your value and your contribution
• 20:57
  in truth determines your reward. It determines your influence and
• 21:02
  it determines your fulfilment. Your value and your contribution
• 21:07
  will determine your reward. It will determine your
• 21:10
  influence. It will determine your
• 21:12
  fulfillment. Hallelujah.
• 21:16
  Value here talks about superior solutions I said that relate to
• 21:21
  and solve human needs. Value.
• 21:24
  When we talk about being valuable, we're talking about
• 21:27
  sustaining superior solutions that relate to and solve human
• 21:33
  needs. Recall I taught you on Sunday
• 21:36
  that being valuable demands skill.
• 21:40
  It demands training. It demands on learning and
• 21:45
  relearning, and then it also demands upgrading.
• 21:49
  If you recall to best practices, you cannot be valuable.
• 21:53
  You cannot be productive if you're unwilling to be skillful,
• 21:57
  if you're unwilling to be trained, if you're unwilling to
• 22:00
  unlearn and relearn, and if you're unwilling to upgrade to
• 22:05
  best practices. Hallelujah.
• 22:08
  And I told you, if you recall, that being valuable also demands
• 22:13
  A skillful and intelligent presentation of your solutions.
• 22:19
  Is one thing to have skill is one thing to have a solution
• 22:23
  that is needed and useful, whether spiritually, whether
• 22:25
  intellectually and otherwise. But the presentation you have to
• 22:31
  be able to present your value in a skillful way that makes it
• 22:35
  receivable and then rewardable. A great solution that is
• 22:40
  presented poorly will hardly be received and would hardly be
• 22:45
  rewarded. You still remember this?
• 22:50
  I'm reading as I wrote on Sunday.
• 22:52
  Let me repeat one statement that I'm hoping you've not forgotten.
• 22:56
  But if you've forgotten, let me remind you, hoping it will stick
• 22:58
  with you forever. I said.
• 23:00
  Your value to men will define their perception of your
• 23:05
  importance. Your value to men will define
• 23:10
  their perception of your importance alongside their
• 23:14
  willingness to honor and reward you.
• 23:18
  Think about it for one moment, that your value to men, not your
• 23:22
  value before God. Everyone is valuable before God,
• 23:26
  but your value to men to the degree to which you are useful
• 23:30
  to me, that defines my perception of your importance,
• 23:35
  and it also defines my willingness to accord you honor
• 23:39
  and to reward you. This is a very uncomfortable but
• 23:42
  profound truth. Don't expect people to consider
• 23:47
  you honorable and to reward you just because you have a healthy
• 23:50
  esteem of yourself. A healthy esteem of yourself
• 23:53
  means nothing to anybody around you.
• 23:56
  What defines their honor to you? What defines their rewarding you
• 24:01
  is not what you feel about yourself.
• 24:03
  What you feel about yourself is absolutely your business.
• 24:07
  Are we together now? What they feel about you depends
• 24:10
  on how useful they perceive you to be to them.
• 24:14
  There are many people with a healthy self esteem who go
• 24:19
  around bullying the psychology of others, expecting people to
• 24:23
  accord them the honor they think they deserve.
• 24:26
  Life does not work that way. You can think you're a champion,
• 24:29
  congratulations to your healthy mindset, but if you do not solve
• 24:33
  my problem the way a champion will solve, I cannot accord you
• 24:37
  the honor of a champion. Are we together now?
• 24:41
  This is very profound. So don't expect people to feel
• 24:45
  about you the way you feel about yourself.
• 24:47
  No. This is a world that is driven
• 24:49
  by real needs and interest, and to the degree to which they
• 24:52
  perceive you as useful to them, that is the degree to which they
• 24:56
  will accord you. Honor, and that is the degree to
• 25:00
  which they will reward you. Who is learning now?
• 25:02
  This is very powerful because there are many people who are
• 25:05
  angry around and say, look, I believe in myself, I'm valuable,
• 25:08
  and I don't like people trivializing me.
• 25:10
  Unfortunately, you don't stop people from trivializing you by
• 25:15
  asking them to stop you, stop people from trivializing you by
• 25:19
  becoming too useful, too useful, too important that it becomes
• 25:24
  impossible to ignore you. May that be a definition of your
• 25:30
  life from today, that in the name of Jesus you will be too
• 25:33
  important. Nobody will ignore you, not only
• 25:37
  because you believe in yourself and what God has made you, but
• 25:41
  your value is so exceptional it is needed.
• 25:45
  They will accord you importance and you will be greatly
• 25:48
  rewarded. You believe that, say Amen.
• 25:51
  I wrote something here still connected to value.
• 25:53
  I hope you're learning. I said be a giver more than a
• 25:58
  receiver. You want to be valuable.
• 26:00
  You must be more giving conscious than receiving
• 26:04
  conscious. And I tell you it's a subtle
• 26:07
  cancer that is eating the church, particularly our
• 26:10
  generation. The word I receive is a very
• 26:12
  powerful prophetic word. But in the realm of champions,
• 26:17
  in the realm of those who understand dominion, I receive
• 26:21
  is the language of one who is a victim, not a victor.
• 26:25
  The one who is a victor is the one who gives, is great to
• 26:28
  receive, but if you are more conscious of receiving than you
• 26:33
  are giving, the world will not celebrate you.
• 26:35
  Acts chapter 20 and verse 35, it says it is more blessed to give
• 26:41
  than to receive. It is blessed to receive, but it
• 26:46
  is more blessed give it to us. 2035 Did I get that right?
• 26:49
  Yes, it is more blessed to give than to receive.
• 26:54
  That means you keep a receiver here.
• 26:56
  You keep a giver here. The one who will be accorded
• 27:00
  greater attention is the one who is a giver.
• 27:05
  I learned this early in life. I learned it so well that it
• 27:09
  became almost a disadvantage in my life.
• 27:14
  I'm still learning how to receive.
• 27:16
  Don't be like me. And it's that part as you learn
• 27:18
  me. Unfortunately, it's good to
• 27:20
  receive. If you don't receive, you will
• 27:22
  not have a man can receive nothing, so you first receive to
• 27:26
  have he gave on to 1/5 talent. The ones who multiplied first
• 27:30
  received. So receive it multiplied.
• 27:32
  But make sure you give. There are most many, many people
• 27:35
  who are more conscious of receiving.
• 27:39
  The moment you see a rich man, your first prayers.
• 27:41
  Lord, let him give me something. The moment you see you always
• 27:44
  want to receive. Nobody will be celebrated for
• 27:48
  receiving and receiving and receiving and receiving.
• 27:51
  I'm not aware of anybody who's won a Nobel Prize because they
• 27:54
  kept receiving people who over. Receive and are receiving
• 28:00
  conscious are usually seen as a burden to the society.
• 28:05
  Hallelujah. Sometimes when you are driving
• 28:08
  and someone stands at a junction, you're waiting for the
• 28:10
  green light and the person is waving his hands, waving a
• 28:13
  plate, knocking your window. You are not a wicked person, but
• 28:16
  you just know that this person is a nuisance.
• 28:19
  Let the green light come so that I leave, because nobody wants to
• 28:23
  indefinitely be around the atmosphere of one whose hand is
• 28:27
  always stretched to receive. When you become a giver indeed,
• 28:33
  then you are ready to command the attention of the world.
• 28:35
  I told you that the Realm of greatness has 2 doors.
• 28:38
  Let me remind you still remember that the Realm of Greatness has
• 28:42
  two access points #1 the Door of need #2 the Door of value.
• 28:48
  If you step into the realm of Greatness through the door of
• 28:51
  need, you will become a slave there even though you are in the
• 28:54
  realm of greatness. But if you step in through the
• 28:57
  door of value, even those who are already great will give you
• 29:00
  a warm hand of fellowship because, among other things, you
• 29:03
  came in as a giver. Someone say I am a giver.
• 29:08
  I didn't hear you shout. I'm a giver, the name of Jesus.
• 29:12
  A giver does not just mean a giver of money.
• 29:15
  No, a giver of good things, a giver of ideas, a giver of
• 29:20
  superior information, a giver of love, a giver of positive
• 29:24
  energy. Say again, I'm a giver #4 the
• 29:28
  4th key that will make your life to count.
• 29:31
  In truth, you want to live a life that counts.
• 29:34
  You want to live a life of impact.
• 29:37
  The 4th key is to master relationships.
• 29:40
  By now you know I repeated this on Sunday.
• 29:43
  You cannot live a life that counts without understanding
• 29:48
  relationships. Let me say this, this is the
• 29:52
  world of men. Settle it once and for all.
• 29:56
  This is the world of men. Psalm 115, verse 16.
• 29:59
  The heaven of heavens belong to the Lord, He says, but the earth
• 30:02
  has He given to the children of men.
• 30:05
  Ladies and gentlemen, this is the world of men.
• 30:09
  If you ignore men and you ignore the dynamics that is required in
• 30:15
  living in the world of men, you are, you are going to live a
• 30:18
  very miserable life, a very defeated life, even if you are a
• 30:21
  Christian. This is the world of men.
• 30:24
  I have taught you in this House that relationships are
• 30:26
  advantageous connections that should be mutually beneficial to
• 30:31
  the parties involved. I recap this again on Sunday.
• 30:35
  Relationships are advantageous connections.
• 30:38
  When an armed robber is close to you, when a man brother is
• 30:42
  holding your hands, you can't say you're in a relationship
• 30:44
  with that armed robber. It's not an advantageous
• 30:47
  connection. So relationship is not just
• 30:49
  proximity with another person, it must be advantageous.
• 30:53
  Are we together? And the real context of a
• 30:57
  relationship is that it must be mutually beneficial to the
• 31:00
  parties involved. Another recap over my Sunday
• 31:06
  teaching. I said relationships are
• 31:08
  bridges. They lead to an exceptional life
• 31:12
  and they can lead to a life of pain and regret between where
• 31:16
  you are right now and any pain that is scheduled for you by the
• 31:20
  devil. It's a relationship that will
• 31:22
  lead you there between where you are right now and a life that is
• 31:26
  exceptional. A life that is enviable as
• 31:29
  designed by God is still a relationship that will take you
• 31:32
  there. So your life from hands, whether
• 31:34
  it moves for the better or. Moves.
• 31:37
  For the worst will happen through the vehicle of
• 31:40
  relationships. Relationships are currencies.
• 31:45
  They can buy anything money can buy.
• 31:47
  I told you on Sunday. But they can also buy what money
• 31:50
  cannot buy. Hallelujah.
• 31:52
  Relationships are currencies. They are not like currencies.
• 31:55
  They are real currencies. It's unfortunate we don't use
• 31:58
  them so much, but they are currencies.
• 32:00
  It's real currency. It can buy anything money can
• 32:04
  buy. But it can also buy what money
• 32:06
  cannot buy. Hallelujah.
• 32:08
  If you think relationships can or money can buy everything,
• 32:12
  you're mistaken. Go to the hospital and watch
• 32:14
  billionaires and millionaires who will give up anything.
• 32:18
  But if you have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, for
• 32:21
  instance, you have a relationship with strategic
• 32:23
  people, it can speak. Do you know the basis of your
• 32:27
  eternal destiny is not even knowledge is relationship
• 32:32
  relationship. The easiest way to succeed in
• 32:38
  life is through relationships and destiny connections.
• 32:41
  Let me recap on a very important statement I made on Sunday.
• 32:46
  I'm just doing a summary to all of this because I intend for us
• 32:49
  to live here on time lend people skills still remember.
• 32:54
  I'm literally reminding you is like you are listening to
• 32:56
  Koinonia message again, but this time around I'm hoping it will
• 32:59
  enter your spirit in a very intentional way.
• 33:02
  Lend people skills You cannot thrive into this world and
• 33:06
  become great if you do not lend people skills.
• 33:10
  I told you that real wealth is not measured in the amount in
• 33:13
  your bank account. Real wealth is having access to
• 33:17
  the hearts of men. Real wealth is the ability to
• 33:21
  secure the loyalty, the trust, and the confidence of men.
• 33:26
  I believe this with all my heart.
• 33:31
  I reminded you on Sunday again that there are auxiliary laws
• 33:35
  that support mastering relationships.
• 33:37
  Let's do a quick recap on them. I told you that you must
• 33:40
  understand the law of honor. You still remember.
• 33:43
  I told you, you must understand the law of words, a word spoken
• 33:47
  in due season, the law of words. By your words you are justified.
• 33:53
  By your words you are condemned. I told you to understand the law
• 33:56
  of timing. You cannot master relationships
• 34:00
  if you do not understand the law of timing.
• 34:02
  Every time is not convenient for everything.
• 34:05
  The Bible says there is a time for everything under the sun.
• 34:08
  We don't know how it happens above the sun, but under the sun
• 34:11
  there is a time for everything. You can be well-intentioned, but
• 34:15
  your motive, your approach can be ill timed and it can cancel
• 34:19
  out on everything. You must understand the nature
• 34:23
  of men. Men are intrinsically selfish.
• 34:27
  Unfortunately if you pray, pray and say father stop everyone on
• 34:32
  earth from being selfish. It's not a very mature prayer
• 34:35
  point. It's something that came with
• 34:37
  the fallen nature of man. Men are intrinsically selfish
• 34:42
  most times. If they say I love you, what
• 34:44
  they mean is I love myself through you.
• 34:46
  Are we together? Yes men are selfish.
• 34:49
  Get over it so that you will respect people who become
• 34:53
  selfless, because that was not the natural build up of people.
• 34:57
  Men are selfish, Men are driven by ego.
• 35:00
  Men are driven by all kinds of things.
• 35:03
  When you understand this about man, it gives you the wisdom in
• 35:06
  relating with the cosmos. In the name of Jesus, I pray for
• 35:10
  you that the relationships that you may have lost by not
• 35:13
  understanding the dynamics of relationships, you may have lost
• 35:17
  opportunities, You have lost relationships.
• 35:19
  May my God restore for you. Are you shouting Him?
• 35:23
  And may my God restore for you. In the matchless name of Jesus,
• 35:28
  I submit to you that one strategic relationship can bail
• 35:32
  you out. I know you've heard people say,
• 35:34
  but you believe me on that one strategic relationship.
• 35:37
  In fact, one of the ways God accelerate a man's life,
• 35:41
  particularly financially, is to bring you in proximity to
• 35:45
  someone who is already established.
• 35:48
  It's not a license for laziness. So God prepares you to be a
• 35:52
  blessing to that man, and then he prepares that man to be a
• 35:56
  blessing to you. For instance, let's call you the
• 35:59
  widow in Zaraphat, and let's call your destiny helper Elijah.
• 36:03
  You see how it works? Praise the name of the Lord.
• 36:06
  So he brings both of you together, and you help Elijah to
• 36:09
  cure his hunger problem. And then it works well for you
• 36:13
  because you are sustained all through the time of famine.
• 36:16
  That's how it works. That's how it works.
• 36:22
  One of the greatest law that I've learned in life, maybe
• 36:25
  second only to my encounter with God, is the law of honor.
• 36:29
  And connecting to that is the law of relationships.
• 36:33
  Relationships are powerful. Who hates you does not matter,
• 36:36
  but who likes you in this life, especially today's world,
• 36:40
  matters. I'm honored to have you around
• 36:44
  at one call. The reason is because you love
• 36:47
  Jesus, but I'm honored because you love me and you believe in
• 36:50
  what I represent. Don't take it for granted.
• 36:54
  Let me tell you the truth. While it is true that who hates
• 36:58
  you does not matter, let me give you a disclaimer.
• 37:01
  If too many people hate you, you will feel it.
• 37:04
  If too many people hate you, you will suffer.
• 37:07
  Hello. Yes Sir, too many people.
• 37:14
  Give us Genesis 12 and verse 2. I will make of thee a great
• 37:22
  nation. I will bless thee, and I will
• 37:25
  make your name great. You shall be a blessing.
• 37:27
  Now read verse three with me. Everybody one to go.
• 37:30
  Verse three, stop. How many are available to bless
• 37:35
  you? Them, and then I will cause him.
• 37:39
  So the equation is that for every him who hates you.
• 37:43
  There should be enough them that bless you.
• 37:45
  Are we together? If too many people hate you, you
• 37:51
  believe me? You will feel it.
• 37:53
  You will feel it. Ask the devil.
• 37:56
  He's the devil, has a positive outlook about himself, but he's
• 37:59
  feeling it day and night, day and night.
• 38:05
  No man was designed to live perpetually from a psychological
• 38:09
  standpoint, under an atmosphere of hatred and negative energy.
• 38:14
  Are we together? So it is true that who does not
• 38:18
  like you doesn't matter, provided that consolation comes
• 38:22
  from the person who likes you. But if too many people hate you,
• 38:26
  especially justifiably so, you see that now.
• 38:31
  If you have been persecuted, that's all right, God will bail
• 38:33
  you out. Mastering relationships, Learn
• 38:39
  to greet people, Learn to be cautious.
• 38:41
  Are we together? I sincerely appreciate every one
• 38:44
  of you. That's why I take the time to
• 38:47
  honor you. I take the time to appreciate
• 38:49
  you. I take the time to celebrate
• 38:51
  you. I don't do that as a ritual.
• 38:53
  Is the truth from my heart. Without vision the people
• 38:59
  perish, but without people the vision too will perish.
• 39:04
  The vision will never come to pass.
• 39:06
  You can be anointed all you can. The Lord gave the word.
• 39:09
  He says great was the company of them that published it.
• 39:14
  So let me use this opportunity to say thank you again.
• 39:17
  Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for everything that
• 39:22
  you have done, seen and unseen. I'm grateful.
• 39:27
  Can we go to number 5 #5? You want to live a life that
• 39:35
  counts? Write this down.
• 39:38
  You must live by values. You cannot afford to live your
• 39:44
  life carelessly. You must live by values.
• 39:49
  Proverbs 2528 says a man who does not have a watch over his
• 39:55
  spirit. It's like a city that is broken.
• 39:58
  Give us amplified and let it give us a greater perspective.
• 40:02
  It's a he who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city
• 40:06
  that is broken down and without walls.
• 40:09
  You must live by values, values that control your words, value
• 40:15
  that, values that control your conduct, your behavior.
• 40:19
  And the greatest of them that I'm proposing for you in this
• 40:21
  season is self-control. Please write it down.
• 40:25
  You will never be great if you lack self-control.
• 40:28
  Let me tell you this, everything God gave man, no matter what it
• 40:33
  is, he also gives you the ability to manage and to control
• 40:38
  it. The moment you lose the ability
• 40:41
  to control what God gave you, the devil has hijacked it.
• 40:44
  Whether it's a gift, whatever it is, self-control is a very.
• 40:50
  Powerful management system, don't just be gifted.
• 40:54
  Be gifted with self-control. It's a terrible thing for you to
• 41:00
  have abilities without self-control.
• 41:02
  It's like electricity with no way of regulating it.
• 41:06
  Can you imagine that? Or it's like a tub, a dam with
• 41:09
  water with no way of channeling it very well.
• 41:12
  Most people do not have self-control.
• 41:14
  I'm proposing for you self-control.
• 41:17
  Press for self-control. The Bible calls it
• 41:20
  temperateness, self-control. Learn to have power over your
• 41:25
  body, power over your mind, power over your spirit.
• 41:29
  Are we together? That means when it's time to
• 41:33
  fast, obtain grace, the discipline.
• 41:35
  You can look at food and say I desire you, but I'm going to
• 41:39
  turn that plate upside down because there is a noblest
• 41:41
  pursuit. self-control. self-control.
• 41:47
  You must have a moral creed that guides your life.
• 41:51
  Please write that down. You must have a moral creed that
• 41:56
  guides your life. What is permissible and what is
• 42:01
  not permissible? Use the word of God and create a
• 42:05
  moral creed that guides your life.
• 42:09
  What kind of occasion will you not go to when it has to do with
• 42:14
  moral excellence? You should be very predictable.
• 42:17
  People should be able to say, don't waste your time is not
• 42:20
  going to show up for this program, not because he hates
• 42:22
  it, but is inconsistent with his values.
• 42:25
  Let me tell you the truth. When people cannot attest to
• 42:30
  you, to us touching issues of moral excellence, it means you
• 42:35
  cannot get to the top. You are a risk even to growth.
• 42:38
  You are risk to influence. You are risk to yourself.
• 42:42
  Someone should be able to say, if it's a matter of bribe.
• 42:45
  Let me advise you don't waste your time.
• 42:48
  This man is not going to collect it.
• 42:50
  You should be that predictable. Yes, all men are human.
• 42:53
  But what then is the advantage of the Holy Spirit?
• 42:56
  What then is the advantage of the Word of God?
• 42:58
  Don't get into this illusion. We are all human.
• 43:01
  As though. OK, Let my life just run its
• 43:03
  course anyhow. No, Sir.
• 43:04
  No, Sir, we are human. But we fly planes for hours and
• 43:08
  under normal circumstances they don't crash.
• 43:10
  You know why? Because there is a code.
• 43:14
  There is a code. The captain does not fly planes
• 43:16
  at will. He's bound by certain laws and
• 43:21
  provided he works in keeping with those laws and under normal
• 43:24
  circumstances, the plane will fly.
• 43:27
  There are certain regions where 90% of the flight you are
• 43:31
  literally over the sea. That means if anything happens,
• 43:35
  they wouldn't even find you. And yet people have been flying
• 43:38
  like that for decades. That's the power of these laws.
• 43:42
  You must have a moral code. That guides your life.
• 43:47
  I don't mean to insult you on a day like this, but some of you
• 43:50
  are everywhere. On every occasion.
• 43:54
  In church we find you. Every other place we find you.
• 43:57
  Around we find you. We come to Mount Zion, you are
• 44:01
  there. Hallelujah.
• 44:04
  We go to Sodom and Gomorrah, you are there.
• 44:07
  We go before bell, you are there.
• 44:10
  Even though you are not bowing, you are still there.
• 44:12
  What are you doing there? Is someone learning you must
• 44:21
  obtain grace? In the name of Jesus, obtain
• 44:24
  grace. Let me tell you this the power
• 44:27
  to say no. Is proof you have grown.
• 44:31
  If your life is only full of the ability to say yes, get ready to
• 44:35
  fail. Anybody who wants to become
• 44:39
  great, you must have the courage to say.
• 44:42
  No. And I'm not talking of saying no
• 44:45
  to evil things alone. Let me tell you the truth.
• 44:48
  When Satan tries you with evil things and it does not work, he
• 44:51
  will try you with good things. The most important thing is for
• 44:55
  you to fail. Good can kill as much as evil.
• 44:59
  When Satan tries anything outside of the Bible and it does
• 45:03
  not destroy you, he will use it is written and still destroy
• 45:06
  you. Many of us cannot say no.
• 45:11
  You can't say no to people, no to things, no to ideas,
• 45:16
  sometimes good ideas. You're spending time with God
• 45:20
  and someone is calling. And say look.
• 45:21
  Can we go somewhere, the courage to say, you know what, I would
• 45:24
  like to go, but just allow me some time.
• 45:27
  I've decided to take some time with God.
• 45:29
  If it's an emergency, that's understandable.
• 45:32
  Many of us, our weakness is not seen.
• 45:35
  Our weakness is the inability to say no.
• 45:38
  I impart that grace upon you today.
• 45:42
  You've gotten into a lot of trouble, nor would I bail you
• 45:46
  out once and for all. And I pray for you in Jesus
• 45:49
  name, the grace to say no. Let it be released upon you.
• 45:53
  You believe, shout Amen. So you must have a moral creed
• 45:58
  that guides your life. Let me give you an advice.
• 46:02
  If you host anybody in your house and that person will stay
• 46:06
  for a reasonable period of time, they should be prepared to serve
• 46:09
  your God. You can be under my roof and
• 46:12
  come with your idols. If my roof is that valuable,
• 46:15
  then respect the God that created it.
• 46:18
  My roof does not mean my house. My roof means anything that I've
• 46:22
  been given stewardship over. Are we together?
• 46:24
  Don't let people carry their idols like Rachel and want to
• 46:27
  match into your life. They come into their life and
• 46:30
  redefine your life by their values.
• 46:34
  Have you seen people like that? They want to be your friend, but
• 46:37
  at their times with their values.
• 46:39
  No, thank God for what you celebrate.
• 46:42
  Well, you can choose two things. Either we become friends with a
• 46:45
  very mutual time, the Bible being at the central focus.
• 46:51
  Some of us are best friends with unbelievers.
• 46:54
  Don't feel bad, I love everyone, but being a best friend with an
• 46:58
  unbeliever you are. You are a risk to me.
• 47:01
  I don't trust you. You can be friends with them,
• 47:04
  but a best friend? That's a deeper level of
• 47:06
  emotional, spiritual connection. What then was the basis of the
• 47:10
  friendship? Who is learning?
• 47:13
  You don't like what we're saying?
• 47:14
  I'm sorry, it's my birthday. Just give me the opportunity to
• 47:17
  let me just drum it. Yes, Sir.
• 47:23
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 47:26
  Let me tell you the truth. The ability to say no is the
• 47:33
  same with the ability to create a ladder.
• 47:36
  Every time you say no, it's like you have created another ladder
• 47:39
  to your destiny. There are many no's you will
• 47:41
  have to say if you want to be great.
• 47:44
  You will have to say more no's than you will say yes because
• 47:48
  life will offer you useless things sometimes.
• 47:51
  Things that are good, but they are not part of the script of
• 47:54
  your destiny. And if you can only say no to
• 47:56
  evil things, you are already deceived.
• 47:59
  You will have to say no to many good things that are
• 48:02
  inconsistent with the blueprint of your destiny.
• 48:05
  If you're learning, say Amen. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 48:09
  There are times you say no to food.
• 48:11
  Is food wrong? But because of what you are
• 48:14
  doing, there are times you say no to sleep.
• 48:15
  Is sleep wrong? You see that?
• 48:18
  There are times you say no to money.
• 48:20
  Someone is giving you money, but you know that that gift is your.
• 48:24
  You are selling your birthright. You can politely say no, no, I
• 48:27
  appreciate you, but not at this time.
• 48:31
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 48:34
  You want to live a life that counts.
• 48:36
  These are the keys. Let me give you the next.
• 48:42
  Point number six, I've given you 5.
• 48:45
  Now a quick recap and then we go to six.
• 48:48
  One, you must have a genuine encounter and an experience with
• 48:52
  God #2 transformation. You must contend for a superior
• 48:57
  belief system. A belief system meaning a word
• 49:00
  compliant mindset, a word compliant belief system #3 you
• 49:06
  must be extremely valuable. Your value and contribution
• 49:10
  decides the perception of your reward, and I mean the
• 49:14
  perception of your importance and the rewards that follow #4
• 49:19
  You must master relationships #5 You must live by values.
• 49:24
  You must have a moral code that guides your life.
• 49:28
  Number six, always be guided by vision and purpose, not
• 49:33
  emotions. Always be guided by vision and
• 49:37
  purpose. Emotions are wonderful but is
• 49:40
  the weakest way to leadership. When you depend on emotions for
• 49:45
  your life to be LED or to lead people, you will not lead them
• 49:49
  to a safe heaven. Always be guided by vision and
• 49:55
  purpose. This is very powerful.
• 49:58
  Again, I thank God for Doctor Miles Monroe and for that
• 50:03
  investment in my life in the area of vision and purpose.
• 50:10
  Let me recall a statement I once made in this house here.
• 50:13
  I said desires and pursuits only become profitable to the degree
• 50:18
  to which they are connected to purpose.
• 50:21
  Long read, but please write Desires and pursuits only become
• 50:26
  profitable on the line profitable.
• 50:30
  Desires and pursuits only become profitable to the degree to
• 50:35
  which they are connected to purpose.
• 50:39
  That means your desire and your pursuit.
• 50:42
  What makes it good or bad is #1 whether it is consistent with
• 50:47
  the will of God, and then #2 the degree to which it is connected
• 50:52
  to purpose. I've taught you in this house
• 50:57
  that purpose asks the question, why?
• 51:00
  Why fame? Why wealth?
• 51:04
  Why increase? Why greatness?
• 51:09
  If you cannot answer the question why, then you don't
• 51:12
  need whatever you desire. Always ask the question, Why?
• 51:17
  Apostle? I want to become a millionaire.
• 51:20
  Great desire question. Why?
• 51:23
  Because I want to prove to somebody that I can't die of
• 51:26
  failure. Too small a reason, Sir.
• 51:29
  Not in the economy of heaven, Apostle.
• 51:31
  I want to become a champion. I want to become a world
• 51:34
  changer. Why?
• 51:35
  I've always admired great people and I want to be like them.
• 51:38
  Sincere reason, but too small a reason.
• 51:41
  If you cannot answer your why, then you are not ready to do
• 51:45
  business with God. I give you that as a secret.
• 51:47
  You must answer the question why.
• 51:50
  Have you read the scripture that says bring forth your?
• 51:52
  It said present your 'cause it says bring forth your strong
• 51:56
  reason. So when you come to God, don't
• 51:58
  just think you just fall. You wrap your lost son, your
• 52:02
  desires with the name of Jesus and stamp Amen and present it to
• 52:06
  God and then have it delivered to you like a DHL.
• 52:09
  It doesn't work that way. Why do you want increase?
• 52:13
  Why do you want money? Why do you want fame?
• 52:17
  Why do you want a name? Many people have not had their
• 52:20
  prayers answered because they have not.
• 52:23
  Been able to state the reason for their desires.
• 52:30
  It's very powerful. Asking the question why is a
• 52:35
  powerful secret that can help you tame our insatiable
• 52:40
  appetites for vain living. If you cannot answer the
• 52:46
  question why, then you lose the ability to tame vain desires.
• 52:53
  Let me give you a reason. Let this be your why.
• 52:56
  For every time you desire anything from God, let this be
• 53:00
  your reason. I refer you to my message, and
• 53:04
  they glorified God in me. Your reason must be, as we say
• 53:11
  in this house, to see Jesus revealed and Jesus glorified.
• 53:16
  It's not a cliche, it's the truth.
• 53:18
  It is the central theme for why we are alive.
• 53:21
  When your life becomes invested to see Jesus revealed, to see
• 53:26
  Jesus glorified in every form and in every fashion, then you
• 53:30
  are ready to do the business of greatness, the business of
• 53:33
  glory, the business of impact with God.
• 53:38
  John 3:30 We read it on Sunday that I may decrease so that He
• 53:43
  will increase. John 17 and verse one Jesus was
• 53:48
  praying and he said, Father the hour has come.
• 53:51
  He said glorify thy Son, that thy Son will glorify thee.
• 53:57
  First John, I mean John chapter 1-6 and seven, a popular
• 54:01
  scripture in this house there was a man sent from God.
• 54:04
  His name was John immediately tells us why he came.
• 54:08
  The same came for a witness to bear witness of the light that
• 54:13
  all men, through the efficiency of His witness, might believe.
• 54:19
  If God can trust that you will use your wealth, your fame, your
• 54:26
  influence, the open doors, the greatness, to draw many to Him,
• 54:32
  to be a contributor to the betterment of our world, and to
• 54:36
  reveal Jesus, then I'm telling you, you have completed that
• 54:40
  bargain for a life of greatness. Again I recall the statement and
• 54:45
  I remind you of what the Lord said to me many years ago.
• 54:48
  Son, if you will let men see me, there is nothing.
• 54:52
  I will not give you the truth in this celebrity driven world
• 54:58
  where there is an obsession for fame.
• 55:00
  Don't get me wrong, God desires you glorified, but if all that
• 55:06
  is in your heart is to try to use value and use all of these
• 55:11
  things just to be famous for the sake of it, then you will not
• 55:15
  get it by God. You must live a life of purpose.
• 55:19
  You must live a life of meaning. I thought through my life,
• 55:22
  especially this morning and I was just thanking God and one of
• 55:25
  my prayers for myself was I said, Lord keep me focused on
• 55:30
  the mark. Paul said this one thing I do
• 55:32
  for getting the things that are behind me and reaching forth for
• 55:36
  the things that are before me, he says.
• 55:38
  I press I. Press 7.
• 55:42
  We're almost there. The 7th key.
• 55:47
  You want to live a life that counts.
• 55:49
  I hope you're learning something this morning.
• 55:52
  The 7th key. This is a very important one,
• 55:55
  and please lend me your attention.
• 55:56
  You listen and then write. Genuinely desire the good of
• 56:00
  all. Genuinely desire the good of all
• 56:04
  men. Genuinely desire the good of all
• 56:09
  men, especially the body of believers.
• 56:13
  Genuinely desire the good of all men, especially believers.
• 56:18
  Very simple statement, but very profound.
• 56:23
  I'm reminded of Luke chapter 2. I think that should be 1314.
• 56:26
  Luke chapter 2. Give us verse 14.
• 56:28
  It is 13 or 14. The salutation of the Angel.
• 56:32
  Glory to God in the highest Read with me Kanonia and on earth.
• 56:36
  What peace and goodwill towards men.
• 56:42
  Glory to God in the highest, but on earth let there be peace and
• 56:47
  goodwill towards men. The Angel who was speaking knows
• 56:51
  that there are wicked men on earth, knows that there are
• 56:53
  wicked and unreasonable men, and yet he said peace and goodwill
• 56:58
  to men. Let me tell you the truth, you
• 57:01
  will never live an impactful life if you do not desire the
• 57:05
  good of all. Learn to have a positive
• 57:11
  disposition towards people as a first response to them.
• 57:15
  Learn to have a positive disposition towards people as a
• 57:19
  first response. Don't just antagonize people
• 57:22
  without 'cause there are people who are like that.
• 57:24
  They are called sadist. You see someone and you just
• 57:27
  suspect he's wicked. Give him a chance to show his
• 57:30
  wicked. But you just suspect.
• 57:34
  I don't like this person. Do you know him?
• 57:37
  No. Have you met him?
• 57:38
  No. Now there are times God can play
• 57:44
  something in your heart and you can discern, but always have a
• 57:49
  positive disposition towards people as a first response.
• 57:54
  Don't look at people and you're already sizing them from head to
• 57:56
  toe. What bag are you carrying?
• 57:58
  What portfolio are you carrying? Who is your father?
• 58:01
  Who is your mother? That becomes the determinant for
• 58:04
  treating them favorably and with honor.
• 58:07
  The Bible says honor all men. Then he says honor the King.
• 58:12
  Is someone learning? Now let me make an honest
• 58:15
  admission. I wrote it down here and I
• 58:16
  wanted to listen. I hope you believe it.
• 58:19
  Most men are not evil. In fact, most men who are used
• 58:24
  to do evil things are not evil. They are only desperately in
• 58:28
  need of salvation, desperately in need of deliverance,
• 58:33
  desperately in need of exposure, and desperately in need of
• 58:37
  growth and transformation. Most people are not evil.
• 58:41
  Intrinsically. It's a lot of work to be wicked.
• 58:44
  Most people are not evil. I'm telling you this, Most
• 58:49
  people are not evil. They are only in desperate need
• 58:53
  of salvation, desperate need of transformation.
• 58:58
  Are we together? Desperate need of exposure.
• 59:02
  Desperate need of growth and of transformation.
• 59:06
  So when you look at people from that lens, it fuels compassion,
• 59:11
  not hatred. There are people who behave
• 59:14
  because they are carrying their villages all over their head and
• 59:17
  the issue is not demonic. What they need is just exposure.
• 59:20
  The prayer for them is Lord lift them to a horizon in life beyond
• 59:25
  their context, and that will cure their misbehavior.
• 59:27
  Just exposure and God can answer the prayer honestly by just
• 59:32
  giving them a visa. One country they just visit and
• 59:35
  see life beyond what they've known.
• 59:37
  They will come back and behave. And I'm not being sarcastic,
• 59:40
  it's the truth. There are people whose problem
• 59:43
  is a backlog of where they are coming from.
• 59:45
  It's not necessarily demonic. They don't know life any other
• 59:49
  way. So by the time you broaden your
• 59:51
  horizon through exposure, it tames some of those excesses.
• 59:57
  There are people who need Jesus. They don't need counseling, they
• 1:00:00
  don't need therapy. They need a translation from the
• 1:00:02
  Kingdom of darkness. You bind and cast.
• 1:00:05
  They will not change because what they need is a change of.
• 1:00:08
  Heart first before a change of mind.
• 1:00:10
  Listen to me. A change of mind without a
• 1:00:13
  change of heart is a useless pursuit.
• 1:00:16
  Your heart should change first, then your mind can change.
• 1:00:20
  The Bible says the peace of God guards your.
• 1:00:23
  Heart guards your mind. There are people who are in need
• 1:00:27
  of salvation. Provided they are not saved, you
• 1:00:30
  are not free. They will cause trouble again
• 1:00:34
  and again and again. There are people who are in need
• 1:00:38
  of deliverance. I'm telling you honestly what
• 1:00:41
  you see happening to them. They are under strong demonic
• 1:00:44
  manipulation. They don't like what they are
• 1:00:47
  doing. I've seen people like that are
• 1:00:49
  building this business for a bit, so I can tell you first
• 1:00:52
  hand you see good people causing bad problems for people.
• 1:00:55
  They need some demons out of their minds, out of their lives.
• 1:00:59
  They don't know why, but they are being controlled and
• 1:01:02
  manipulated by demon spirits. They break relationships, they
• 1:01:06
  break strategic people. They, I mean, they cause all
• 1:01:09
  kinds of problems. But when you talk to them, when
• 1:01:12
  they are alone, they are lovely people to be with and you cannot
• 1:01:15
  understand why they keep causing trouble.
• 1:01:17
  They need deliverance. Bring them on Sunday.
• 1:01:21
  They need deliverance. Do the work of an evangelist.
• 1:01:27
  And I mean what I'm. Saying.
• 1:01:31
  You can't counsel someone who is possessed with a demon spirit.
• 1:01:35
  Who are you counseling now? Him or the Spirit?
• 1:01:42
  The madman in Gadarite was not counseling.
• 1:01:45
  Jesus gave him. Look up please.
• 1:01:46
  He was delivered then when he was in his right mind, he now
• 1:01:50
  sat down with Jesus and learned you are teaching a demon spirit
• 1:01:54
  and wasting your time and advising a demon spirit to
• 1:01:56
  behave well, not to go to police station, not to cause problems.
• 1:01:59
  And the person that the puppet is saying I hear you and 5
• 1:02:03
  minutes later the police calls you and say come again your
• 1:02:06
  child is there. Let me tell you the truth, what
• 1:02:08
  you need is deliverance and for as long as you keep arguing left
• 1:02:12
  right and center, you will continue the deliverance.
• 1:02:15
  When I said deliverance, I hope you understand you are
• 1:02:17
  enlightened enough to know what I mean.
• 1:02:19
  I'm not just limiting it to casting out demons.
• 1:02:22
  Are we together? Yes.
• 1:02:23
  There are three levels of deliverance.
• 1:02:25
  There is a casting out of the spirit influence.
• 1:02:28
  There is deliverance through transformation by the world.
• 1:02:31
  There is the embracing that brings the discipline of
• 1:02:34
  conformity. That's what the person needs.
• 1:02:38
  There are people who just need to grow no matter what they do.
• 1:02:42
  You can't solve their problem till they grow.
• 1:02:45
  What is happening to them is part of the reality that comes
• 1:02:49
  with either their age range, biologically, financially and
• 1:02:52
  otherwise. I hope you know it's not only
• 1:02:54
  biology that measures age. You can measure age financially.
• 1:02:58
  You can measure age sociologically, leadership.
• 1:03:01
  So there are certain people who behave like wicked people.
• 1:03:04
  You don't need to cast and bind anything.
• 1:03:06
  Just endure, tolerate and let them grow.
• 1:03:11
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:03:14
  But your own assignment as a believer is to desire the good
• 1:03:19
  of all men. Look at people's motifs beyond
• 1:03:23
  their actions. Look at people's motifs beyond
• 1:03:27
  their actions. Sometimes the actions can be
• 1:03:30
  wrong, but the individuals can be very sincere.
• 1:03:33
  Sometimes the actions can be wrong, but the individuals can
• 1:03:37
  be very sincere. Hallelujah.
• 1:03:42
  Sometimes the actions can be wrong.
• 1:03:43
  I'm telling you, but the motifs are very sincere.
• 1:03:47
  If you judge people only by their actions, you would drive
• 1:03:50
  many good people in your life, many good people.
• 1:03:54
  There are many good people whose actions will hurt you.
• 1:03:57
  But there are some of the greatest blessings that will be
• 1:03:59
  in your life. You must learn and have the
• 1:04:02
  courage and the stamina to look beyond actions and look at a
• 1:04:06
  person's heart. Someone can steal from you out
• 1:04:09
  of pressure, but that person is not a thief.
• 1:04:11
  He stole but is not a thief. A thief is not the one who
• 1:04:14
  steals. There is a mentality that is
• 1:04:17
  called a thief. Are we together now?
• 1:04:20
  So you can have a thief around you and he never steals.
• 1:04:23
  What is a thief? Are we?
• 1:04:28
  Are we together? Yes, a thief is not one who
• 1:04:31
  picks something. No, the one who picks something
• 1:04:34
  has given evidence to steal him. But you can have a thief around
• 1:04:38
  you like you can have a wicked person who never has a chance to
• 1:04:41
  execute it yet, but is a wicked person.
• 1:04:46
  In my opinion, Judas was not a wicked person.
• 1:04:50
  He was just somebody who loved Jesus.
• 1:04:52
  And wanted to make money quickly.
• 1:04:56
  There were many of the other disciples.
• 1:04:57
  If I'm to arrange, if I'm to arrange the disciples of Jesus
• 1:05:00
  according to wickedness, there are others who will be in front.
• 1:05:04
  Judas will not be part of them. You believe me on that?
• 1:05:06
  Do you know why? Because he was so he.
• 1:05:10
  He felt so much pain that he had betrayed his master.
• 1:05:13
  He hung himself. That was what he knew to do.
• 1:05:16
  I believe if Judas had gone to Jesus and asked for forgiveness,
• 1:05:20
  Jesus will forgive him because he's dying or not.
• 1:05:22
  Dying did not affect salvation. The betrayal was what was needed
• 1:05:26
  in prophecy. The killing himself was not part
• 1:05:29
  of the script. Write this down.
• 1:05:37
  Do not wish for, do not anticipate, do not even support
• 1:05:44
  the downfall or the destruction of anyone in the body of Christ.
• 1:05:51
  Do not wish for, do not anticipate and do not even
• 1:05:57
  support the downfall. Or there's a generation that
• 1:06:01
  needs to hear this. Let me take a moment and speak,
• 1:06:04
  especially to younger ministers. Do not wish for, do not
• 1:06:08
  anticipate, and do not even support the downfall of anyone
• 1:06:12
  in the body. No Leave the blood of Jesus to
• 1:06:17
  do his assignment and leave the throne of judgment to do his
• 1:06:20
  assignment. Are we together?
• 1:06:26
  Don't sit down and be wishing for the destruction of another
• 1:06:29
  person, another believer. No, that's not a Christian's
• 1:06:32
  approach. Let me wrap up with this.
• 1:06:41
  I took this. I was going through my notes for
• 1:06:44
  all the years and I decided to take the concluding part of last
• 1:06:50
  year's discussion. I went through it and it
• 1:06:52
  impacted me and I want to read it for you in case you were not
• 1:06:55
  here. This is the eighth key.
• 1:06:58
  Understand the brevity of life. Powerful.
• 1:07:03
  You want to live an impactful life, a life that makes a mark.
• 1:07:09
  You want to live a life that counts.
• 1:07:11
  You must understand as the 8th and final point, the brevity of
• 1:07:17
  life. Honestly, life is brief you must
• 1:07:21
  understand the transient nature of our sojourn here on earth.
• 1:07:26
  Reminded of Psalm 19 and verse 12 so teach us to number our
• 1:07:30
  days. The Bible says that we may apply
• 1:07:33
  our hearts onto wisdom. I still.
• 1:07:38
  Remember my younger self. I'm not too old as to forget.
• 1:07:41
  I don't have dementia. I remember very, very well.
• 1:07:45
  It is amazing. Today you open your eyes and
• 1:07:48
  it's going to be next year, my birthday again.
• 1:07:50
  And you see me gathered again. You close your eyes, you'll be
• 1:07:53
  another birthday again. Are we together?
• 1:07:57
  It is incredible. I traveled not too long for a
• 1:08:03
  program back at my village and I had the opportunity to look at
• 1:08:08
  my dad. Maybe they are following now.
• 1:08:09
  It's possible. And I looked at him and for the
• 1:08:13
  first time I, I just realized that the man is old.
• 1:08:19
  I looked at him. Very youthful man, always wants
• 1:08:23
  to, I mean, he has refused to be old.
• 1:08:25
  But I looked at him and I said, wow, this is amazing.
• 1:08:31
  I looked at myself in the mirror and I said wow, Divine life
• 1:08:36
  notwithstanding. If you live in denial, life will
• 1:08:43
  teach you a lesson whether you like it or not.
• 1:08:47
  Believe it or not, thank God for life.
• 1:08:51
  But know that every second when you celebrate birthdays I've
• 1:08:55
  taught you in this house, you are not just celebrating the
• 1:08:58
  distance covered, you are also celebrating the distance left.
• 1:09:02
  Did you hear what I said? When you celebrate birthdays,
• 1:09:05
  you are not celebrating the distance covered, you are
• 1:09:09
  celebrating the distance left. So if, for instance, you are to
• 1:09:17
  be 80 years or 100 and you are celebrating 60 years, you are
• 1:09:21
  not just celebrating 60 years, you are celebrating 20 years
• 1:09:25
  left. And do you know, it's an
• 1:09:28
  uncomfortable truth, but there are people who did not know that
• 1:09:31
  when they celebrated their birthdays, they were celebrating
• 1:09:34
  the last year, just with a few months added, just with a few
• 1:09:39
  weeks added. Are we together?
• 1:09:44
  So teach us to number our days. What kind of wisdom do you get
• 1:09:49
  from this orientation? I wrote something here.
• 1:09:54
  One day you will not be here, either because Jesus will come
• 1:09:57
  and receive us, or one day you will transit in glory when your
• 1:10:00
  assignment is done. I hope by now you are not afraid
• 1:10:03
  of death. I look at your eyes.
• 1:10:06
  I know that some. Of you don't believe what you
• 1:10:07
  are saying. Apostle, please pass this
• 1:10:09
  statement. We came to celebrate.
• 1:10:11
  No talk of death. Every dead body on earth today
• 1:10:16
  is a sermon I hope you're hearing what that preacher is
• 1:10:18
  telling you every dead body you come around, whether is a dead
• 1:10:23
  body of your loved one sadly, whether is a dead body of
• 1:10:27
  someone you know or the dead body of someone maybe you're a.
• 1:10:31
  Doctor, a medical practitioner and you have to see a patient.
• 1:10:34
  Every dead body on earth today is a sermon.
• 1:10:38
  It is a constant reminder. That this destiny clock is
• 1:10:42
  ticking and one day it will stop.
• 1:10:46
  So what does this mean? Focus on the things that matter,
• 1:10:50
  and I'll wrap up by giving you three things.
• 1:10:52
  You should invest your life in focus on the things that matter.
• 1:10:56
  There are things in life that does not matter.
• 1:10:59
  I'm telling you, don't waste your time around it.
• 1:11:02
  As a man of God, I've been involved in the ministry of
• 1:11:06
  life, but sadly and unfortunately, I've been
• 1:11:09
  involved around people and families, some close, some far,
• 1:11:13
  where there's been bereavements and it's been very painful.
• 1:11:17
  I have met many dead bodies in my lifetime.
• 1:11:20
  I've tried to resurrect some. I've been left alone inside a
• 1:11:24
  Mortuary. You know my story.
• 1:11:27
  I tried to resurrect the dead body, try prayed.
• 1:11:29
  I didn't know what part of the body to touch because everything
• 1:11:32
  was as hard as a rock. And I just use my time to preach
• 1:11:36
  to myself. I said everybody in this place
• 1:11:39
  was once alive. If everybody had a chance to
• 1:11:47
  choose whether to die or not, the.
• 1:11:49
  World will still be fooled. There are people who will not
• 1:11:51
  die. Unfortunately, when that thing
• 1:11:53
  comes knocking, it just transits people.
• 1:11:55
  Yours is to not be afraid of it, but to live a life so effective
• 1:12:00
  that when you are prepared. You will you will like a.
• 1:12:04
  You know how a general retires? With one honorable salute, he
• 1:12:08
  smiles at those he's mentored and raised.
• 1:12:11
  For those of you who do not know that, yes, accounting, and don't
• 1:12:16
  deceive yourself and say I'm still 20 years old.
• 1:12:19
  Unfortunately, there's no, you see, that is not like employment
• 1:12:24
  where you retire at 65. Sometimes that thing retires you
• 1:12:27
  at 11. It retired babies in the Bible
• 1:12:31
  is still retiring babies today. No adult is spared.
• 1:12:35
  Under normal circumstances. I will speak live to you, but I
• 1:12:38
  can tell you this, it's a wisdom key that you have to keep.
• 1:12:42
  God forbid, but if I die today, my only pain will be that I did
• 1:12:46
  not finish my assignment. But it will not be that I lived
• 1:12:49
  a useless. Life, no.
• 1:12:52
  On my way to heaven, I asked the Lord.
• 1:12:54
  I said, Lord, raise somebody. To raise a number of people to
• 1:12:58
  replicate this and finish that assignment on time, that would
• 1:13:01
  be my only pain. But not that I lived a useless
• 1:13:04
  life. No, in truth, I would tell you
• 1:13:06
  for me now, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
• 1:13:10
  It's true. It's not a preacher's talk.
• 1:13:14
  I didn't say I would die, but it's the truth.
• 1:13:21
  You'll be stupid for me at this point in my life to still be
• 1:13:24
  fooling myself with childish thoughts.
• 1:13:26
  No, no, no. Are we together?
• 1:13:34
  Make up your mind. Let me tell you this, Anyone who
• 1:13:37
  is in this place, please don't feel bad.
• 1:13:39
  Anyone who is in this place and you are from, let's say you're
• 1:13:43
  between, let's say 15 and 13, I release grace upon you to run
• 1:13:50
  away from the deception of feeling young.
• 1:13:54
  Do you know what I said is good to be youthful at heart, but
• 1:13:58
  there is such a deception. You find a lot of people 40-50,
• 1:14:03
  sometimes 55, and the person says you're a young man.
• 1:14:06
  In terms of your health, that's fine.
• 1:14:08
  But in terms of not getting up to do anything in life and in
• 1:14:12
  Africa, we like calling people children.
• 1:14:15
  You know, I've cleared my perspective on that issue.
• 1:14:19
  In my world, the moment you can think and take decisions and
• 1:14:24
  face consequences, you are an adult.
• 1:14:26
  There's nothing like 18 years. In my world, 18 years does not
• 1:14:30
  exist. Once you can take decisions and
• 1:14:34
  you can understand the implication of your decisions,
• 1:14:37
  you are an adult immediately. Hallelujah.
• 1:14:42
  So don't even deceive yourself and say I'm younger.
• 1:14:45
  I'm going to take my time. There's no time to take
• 1:14:47
  anywhere. You give life the kind of
• 1:14:49
  aggression, evictor's aggression.
• 1:14:52
  I must walk the works of him that sends.
• 1:14:56
  Me while it is day listen, Jesus is speaking, he said for the
• 1:15:01
  night comet he didn't say may come it.
• 1:15:05
  Comets are When you woke up in this morning, did you say good
• 1:15:09
  afternoon? What did you say right now?
• 1:15:12
  Do you say good morning again? That morning is gone.
• 1:15:15
  And whether you like it or not, no matter how much of A prayer
• 1:15:19
  warrior you are, in the next 4 to 5 hours you are going to say
• 1:15:22
  good evening. Is that true?
• 1:15:26
  And by the next 7 or 8 hours, whether you like it or not, what
• 1:15:29
  will be your response? Good night.
• 1:15:33
  Good night for someone, life is still telling you good morning.
• 1:15:36
  The meaning of that is hurry up. Hurry up for someone is saying
• 1:15:40
  good afternoon. He's saying you've done well,
• 1:15:43
  but keep pressing. For someone life is beginning to
• 1:15:45
  say good evening. And for someone, I hate to tell
• 1:15:48
  you this, but life has come as a messenger.
• 1:15:51
  Help me read the message. Good night.
• 1:15:55
  Someone hearing me is in his final face.
• 1:15:57
  I'm not prophesying doom, but it's good night.
• 1:15:59
  Good night does not mean die, it means wrap up.
• 1:16:02
  Listen, if you are say 20-30 and then you are best friends with
• 1:16:09
  someone who is 1520, he has the time to be careless and forgive
• 1:16:14
  himself. You don't have that time.
• 1:16:16
  Are we together now? Let's assume you got born again
• 1:16:19
  at 35 or 40. Thank God you've met Jesus.
• 1:16:22
  But my brother, you did not meet him early enough.
• 1:16:26
  That means that you double your time of prayer.
• 1:16:29
  You double your time of fasting, you double your time of learning
• 1:16:32
  the Word. You double your time of
• 1:16:34
  discovering your assignment. The person who is 15 can use
• 1:16:37
  five years and waste their life, repent by 20 and still catch up
• 1:16:43
  by 3014. Fifty.
• 1:16:45
  You just gave your life to Christ.
• 1:16:47
  By the time you are done learning the principles of the
• 1:16:50
  Kingdom, you may not have the energy to go around the world
• 1:16:53
  again while it is day for the night.
• 1:16:57
  Comment when no man will walk again in the name of Jesus.
• 1:17:01
  I'm praying for you that in this season let there be the courage
• 1:17:04
  to edit relationships. Re strategize your blueprint. 3
• 1:17:10
  things you should focus on we're wrapping up #1 your relationship
• 1:17:14
  with Jesus Christ. I once preached a message in
• 1:17:17
  Zaria years ago called 3 Most Important Things.
• 1:17:20
  I think your relationship with Jesus should be your highest
• 1:17:24
  pursuit. And your highest priority, I
• 1:17:27
  know God, that today here, especially because of the
• 1:17:30
  welfare that will be happening shortly.
• 1:17:33
  There are non Christians, Muslims and there are people.
• 1:17:37
  Bank representatives here. Some of you are Christians, some
• 1:17:39
  of you are not. Don't, don't.
• 1:17:41
  Don't mind my bias. I'm telling you that Jesus truly
• 1:17:44
  according to Scripture, this is not some fanaticism.
• 1:17:47
  He's truly the way. He's the truth and He's the
• 1:17:49
  life, the Word of God declares it.
• 1:17:52
  And shortly before I'm done, I'm going to give you a chance.
• 1:17:55
  I will give you a chance. You have given things of lesser
• 1:17:59
  value, your time and your life and your attention.
• 1:18:02
  Why don't you trust Jesus with the remaining part of your life
• 1:18:05
  and watch what He makes out of your life?
• 1:18:06
  So three most important things. You want to live a life that is
• 1:18:10
  impactful. The reason why 24 hours is not
• 1:18:13
  enough for you is because you are doing things that are not
• 1:18:16
  part of your script. 24 hours were designed to only be enough
• 1:18:20
  if you invest them doing the things that matter to your
• 1:18:23
  destiny. You should be busy, but there's
• 1:18:26
  no such thing as there's not enough time.
• 1:18:28
  There is enough time based on the script of your destiny.
• 1:18:31
  If you spend your time wasting and investing it on other
• 1:18:35
  matters that don't have any profit as far as your destiny
• 1:18:38
  and the Kingdom is concerned, your time will never be enough.
• 1:18:44
  Number one, your relationship with Jesus #2 your earthly
• 1:18:51
  relationships, family, strategic destiny.
• 1:18:55
  Relationships. Invest more in relationships
• 1:19:00
  than you invest in making money. There are things relationships
• 1:19:06
  can do for you, like I said earlier on that money cannot do.
• 1:19:09
  Don't lose good people to find money.
• 1:19:12
  You made a bad bargain with life.
• 1:19:14
  Don't lose people to build a house.
• 1:19:17
  You made a bad bargain with life because one atmospheric
• 1:19:22
  condition, God forbid, can wipe that house away for strategic
• 1:19:26
  relationships. There are many people in old age
• 1:19:29
  today who are rich, but they are lonely.
• 1:19:31
  You look at their lives and you are in pain.
• 1:19:33
  You are wondering, did they have children?
• 1:19:35
  That mother or that father would tell you, I had 12 children,
• 1:19:38
  where are they? Because they did not invest in
• 1:19:41
  relationships and is not feeding them back.
• 1:19:43
  There's nothing feeding them back.
• 1:19:47
  There are people you see in old age, they will tell you, I was
• 1:19:50
  once a principal, I was once a commissioner, I was once this.
• 1:19:54
  And you said, did you not have subordinates?
• 1:19:57
  Didn't you impact anybody enough to remember you in old age?
• 1:20:03
  One of the things I hear about another prophetess, as much as I
• 1:20:07
  admire her power prophetically. I have a big question mark about
• 1:20:12
  her life relationally. Nobody visited her in the
• 1:20:14
  temple. What happened to her youth?
• 1:20:17
  Didn't she have friends? If it was part of her
• 1:20:20
  consecration, I understand, but how does a woman, simply because
• 1:20:23
  she lost her husband, there was no mention of anyone coming to
• 1:20:27
  help her. Another person whose life is a
• 1:20:29
  lesson is the man at Bethesda. He was not the only leper in the
• 1:20:35
  Bible. There was a leper in Acts
• 1:20:36
  chapter 3, but that one understood relational principles
• 1:20:40
  and there were men who carried him.
• 1:20:42
  How come this one did not have one man for 38 years?
• 1:20:45
  That's a message for someone. You are throwing away valuable
• 1:20:49
  relationships in your life because you are looking for
• 1:20:51
  money. There are some.
• 1:20:53
  If you betray anybody because of money, you can take your friends
• 1:20:58
  to prison because of 1000 naira. And even when they are begging
• 1:21:03
  you more. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:21:06
  A tenant who is crying. I'm not saying people should be
• 1:21:08
  bad. A tenant who is crying and
• 1:21:10
  telling you, please give me some time.
• 1:21:12
  No, all I want to hear is money. One day in old age, you find out
• 1:21:17
  that the only person available to help you was the person you
• 1:21:20
  look down. There are battles children are
• 1:21:24
  fighting today. They have no business fighting.
• 1:21:26
  That battle was created by the carelessness of their parents.
• 1:21:31
  Become like Gideon who will blow the chauffeur and 33,000 people
• 1:21:36
  will show up. I don't want my name to become a
• 1:21:39
  padlock. I told you that in your
• 1:21:41
  lifetime, your name can become a key that opens doors or a
• 1:21:45
  padlock that closes doors for someone whose name is already a
• 1:21:49
  padlock. I pray for mercy for you right
• 1:21:51
  now there are people who have had to change their surnames,
• 1:21:55
  change their names. Are we together?
• 1:21:57
  Others have had to deny identifying with certain people
• 1:22:00
  for the sake of their destinies. It's not only God's name that is
• 1:22:06
  great. He told Abraham, I will make
• 1:22:08
  your name great. A man's name can be great.
• 1:22:11
  That on account of your knowing that man, they say, oh, you
• 1:22:15
  know, so, so and so you mean it. Let this good, this gate open
• 1:22:19
  for you. Invest in relationships.
• 1:22:22
  Invest in relationships, invest in relationships.
• 1:22:27
  Some of you are angry with yourself, angry with family
• 1:22:33
  members, angry with friends, angry with everyone.
• 1:22:37
  You live in a world all by yourself.
• 1:22:39
  That world does not exist. Sooner or later you are going to
• 1:22:43
  need people. And if I told you that one way
• 1:22:45
  the devil destroys people when he wants to strike you, he will
• 1:22:50
  create true offense so that you push away all the people who can
• 1:22:54
  help you when you're in trouble, when you are alone, he now
• 1:22:57
  strikes you. When he strikes you, there will
• 1:23:00
  be nobody there to help you. Use this season for someone I'm
• 1:23:05
  speaking to you. Use this season as a season to
• 1:23:09
  realign strategic relationships. Realign strategic relationships,
• 1:23:15
  and then #3 your assignment. These are the third.
• 1:23:18
  The three things to invest your time and your energy.
• 1:23:23
  Your relationship with Jesus, your earthly relationships
• 1:23:29
  beginning from family, extending to your children.
• 1:23:34
  Let me. Digress for a minute as I wrap
• 1:23:36
  up to say this. Parents, please hear me.
• 1:23:40
  Let me give you a counsel in righteousness.
• 1:23:44
  Invest in the life of your children.
• 1:23:47
  Ellie, not money. Invest time, invest attention.
• 1:23:52
  Don't get into the life of an adult who you have no stake in
• 1:23:55
  making him become and suddenly claim a stake.
• 1:23:59
  There are many people making that mistake.
• 1:24:02
  It wouldn't work that way. Are we together now?
• 1:24:07
  By the mercy of God, and I say this not to brag, I have the
• 1:24:11
  honor of being involved in the life of many, many people.
• 1:24:15
  Many, many people, school fees, scholarships, taking care of
• 1:24:19
  them, every other thing a parent would do.
• 1:24:22
  And I'm sad to say this, that there are people that have been
• 1:24:26
  taken care of for decades. Their parents are alive.
• 1:24:30
  Their parents are in this nation.
• 1:24:32
  They still do not know who paid their child's school fees from
• 1:24:35
  primary school till he finished. They don't know who pays the
• 1:24:38
  house rent. They don't know who feeds the
• 1:24:40
  child. Some of them.
• 1:24:41
  They don't know who feeds the wife, who feeds the children.
• 1:24:44
  And yet they are alive. One day when that child now
• 1:24:48
  grows, they will now come and claim a stick and says, my
• 1:24:51
  child, would that not be a foolish parent?
• 1:24:58
  So God is giving you a chance. Make things right.
• 1:25:01
  Irresponsible fathers, they are prodigal fathers.
• 1:25:04
  You can still come home. Is not only prodigal sons,
• 1:25:07
  prodigal fathers come home. Prodigal mothers come home.
• 1:25:12
  Prodigal children come home. Hallelujah.
• 1:25:21
  Closely connected to that. Please don't find an offense.
• 1:25:25
  If you don't plan to be serious about family life, don't marry.
• 1:25:31
  You won't go to hell. Don't marry.
• 1:25:33
  It's a counsel. If you are not going to take
• 1:25:38
  care of your wife, don't marry. If you are not going to take
• 1:25:41
  care of your husband, don't marry.
• 1:25:43
  If you don't want the burden of children, don't marry.
• 1:25:46
  You won't go to hell, but stop adding Lord to men of God, Lord
• 1:25:51
  to pastors, all kinds of people. You bring trouble and the church
• 1:25:55
  is full of men of God are focusing on the assignment and
• 1:25:58
  the assignment of another irresponsible father or
• 1:26:01
  irresponsible mother. If you can take care of only one
• 1:26:08
  child, have one. If you can't take care of two,
• 1:26:11
  have two. If you can't take care of three,
• 1:26:14
  have three. You can't get 10 and take care
• 1:26:17
  of two. No, Sir, any man who cannot
• 1:26:21
  cater for his family has denied the faith and is worse than an
• 1:26:25
  infidel. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:26:31
  Let me wrap up. Let me wrap up.
• 1:26:32
  Let me wrap. Up.
• 1:26:36
  Thank you Koinonia Global for. Your honor on this day is one
• 1:26:42
  thing to be called by God is one thing to be anointed by him to
• 1:26:45
  be shown mercy, but is another thing to have a generation here
• 1:26:49
  you receive you and invest their time and attention.
• 1:26:54
  And I want to start first and foremost with our global family.
• 1:26:57
  Thank you for praying for me. Thank you for your love, your
• 1:27:01
  loyalty. I sincerely appreciate you.
• 1:27:05
  Thank you. Thank you so much.
• 1:27:07
  From Ghana to South Africa to Malawi to Abuja, Zaria, UK,
• 1:27:14
  Canada, everywhere, thank you for being true ambassadors of
• 1:27:18
  this vision. In the name of Jesus, I want you
• 1:27:23
  to help me appreciate our fathers in the faith in this
• 1:27:26
  nation and across the globe. We thank the fathers in the
• 1:27:32
  faith for helping. A number of them have called
• 1:27:36
  even this morning. I truly, deeply honor you, every
• 1:27:40
  single one of you. I'm vocal about the honor to
• 1:27:43
  fathers and preserving the honors that comes to them.
• 1:27:47
  I want to thank every man of God who has played a role directly
• 1:27:51
  or indirectly in helping this ministry stand in helping us do
• 1:27:56
  the things that we do for Jesus. Thank you most sincerely in the
• 1:28:01
  name of Jesus Christ. I want to particularly
• 1:28:05
  appreciate the body of Christ in Nigeria, the body of Christ in
• 1:28:10
  Africa, the body of Christ in Europe, North America, and
• 1:28:16
  across the globe. Thank you for receiving this
• 1:28:19
  grace. It is amazing the things people
• 1:28:21
  have done to promote the speakings, the words that God
• 1:28:25
  has placed upon our heart, His wisdom, His power.
• 1:28:28
  Thank you very much for taking the time to do the things that
• 1:28:32
  you have done. Now, immediately after this
• 1:28:36
  prayer, I'm going to speak a blessing over your life.
• 1:28:39
  And immediately afterwards, we are going to be distributing the
• 1:28:45
  welfare materials. I know that there are so many
• 1:28:48
  people, some of you have waited impatiently outside to just
• 1:28:53
  receive that. Let me tell you why I do this.
• 1:28:56
  It is not a show of whatever it is.
• 1:29:00
  Please don't misunderstand it at all.
• 1:29:02
  It is an opportunity to be able to give and it is my seed when I
• 1:29:08
  do that is from my heart. It is a communication of love
• 1:29:13
  because I believe that I speak over your life.
• 1:29:15
  Yes, you are receiving something, but I just thought
• 1:29:19
  that putting something together, these bags of rice, my God.
• 1:29:28
  Praise God. All right.
• 1:29:31
  Those, those outside you don't need to show us just protocol
• 1:29:34
  regulates them. It was, it was 5000 bugs, but
• 1:29:40
  we've added to 6000 bugs. So we're hoping that.
• 1:29:43
  It should be able to go go. Around and praise the name of
• 1:29:50
  the Lord. I've instructed that the bugs,
• 1:29:53
  everybody gets it, including the workers in this house.
• 1:29:57
  We do. Charity begins at home.
• 1:29:59
  So everybody, it's not just those outside.
• 1:30:02
  Whether you need it or not, you have it.
• 1:30:05
  It's a seed with love from me. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:30:08
  So we thank those who have been patiently waiting outside.
• 1:30:19
  OK, please. I'm told that I'm told that
• 1:30:22
  there's a Stampede outside. Let me announce now.
• 1:30:25
  Please, please don't kill anybody on my birthday.
• 1:30:30
  Please. Those outside, I want you to
• 1:30:31
  listen. Jokes apart.
• 1:30:32
  Now let me make this announcement.
• 1:30:34
  Those outside, please, let's have the law enforcement agents
• 1:30:38
  please help us and let there be order.
• 1:30:41
  I know our security people. Please, if aside from some of
• 1:30:45
  our dignitaries here, if you're in this place and you're a law
• 1:30:48
  enforcement agent, you're a police.
• 1:30:49
  You're a military man. Perhaps they may need your help
• 1:30:52
  outside. Perhaps there are more people
• 1:30:54
  than we have the hands. Please, and please those
• 1:30:57
  outside. If we find you assaulting
• 1:31:01
  anyone, we may have to hand you over to the law.
• 1:31:04
  This is supposed to be an act of charity.
• 1:31:05
  Am I right on that? And we are believers, am I right
• 1:31:08
  on that? We have a culture, we have a
• 1:31:10
  system already put in place for a seamless flow.
• 1:31:14
  It's not, It's not. We've done it before.
• 1:31:16
  So please let there be no stampedes whatsoever.
• 1:31:20
  Pregnant women and all of that, you can separate them.
• 1:31:22
  We don't want these kinds of issues.
• 1:31:24
  There are thousands of people. I'll soon be wrapping up now,
• 1:31:27
  and once I'm done, please organize yourself.
• 1:31:30
  Those of you who are in here, you are of this family.
• 1:31:35
  So there should be a modest behavior.
• 1:31:38
  Praise the name of the Lord. We are believers.
• 1:31:40
  We shouldn't pray in tongues and be organized.
• 1:31:42
  And then immediately after the grace, people start acting as if
• 1:31:45
  they kept Jesus away. So let's behave ourselves and
• 1:31:48
  trust God for grace. I believe there's there's.
• 1:31:51
  Even if there's not enough rice, I'm sure that God will help us.
• 1:31:54
  If it goes round and it's not enough, the workers can
• 1:31:57
  sacrifice. We'll get another one for them.
• 1:31:59
  But let's just do the best that we can do.
• 1:32:03
  Please let's. Rise, let's rise, let's rise.
• 1:32:07
  I'd like you to just pray in one minute.
• 1:32:09
  Ask the Lord the one thing you desire to do Him to do in your
• 1:32:13
  life at this point. The one thing you desire that He
• 1:32:17
  does in your life. At this point I want to speak
• 1:32:19
  over your life. I'm standing in faith with all
• 1:32:22
  the vessels of faith in this house, The men of God who have
• 1:32:26
  come just to join faith with me, and we're releasing our faith.
• 1:32:30
  I'd like you to. Pray, Father, I desire a life of
• 1:32:34
  meaning. I desire a life of purpose.
• 1:32:42
  Thank God for this opportunity that he's provided to be a
• 1:32:47
  blessing. Shiba latos soprante cabarrato

  May Jehovah Chira arise for you. May He surprise you, open up

  My God will give you every day your daily bread in the name of

  For you, if Christ tarries 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, 50
• 1:43:55
  years after now, you are still standing strong.
• 1:43:59
  In the name of Jesus Christ, I leverage upon every grace that
• 1:44:07
  is here and the grace upon the fathers of faith in this nation,
• 1:44:12
  and I speak over you. Everything that was their
• 1:44:15
  challenge, it will not be your challenge.
• 1:44:19
  Everything that was their limitation, it will not be your
• 1:44:22
  limitation. Where it took them 10 years, may
• 1:44:26
  it take you 2 years. Now let me say it by myself.
• 1:44:31
  What took me 20 years, may you achieve it in five years what
• 1:44:36
  took me a long time. May my God accelerate your
• 1:44:40
  results, accelerate your results, accelerate your
• 1:44:44
  achievements in the name of Jesus Christ, what answers to me
• 1:44:51
  made answer to you. The doors that open for me made
• 1:44:55
  open for you. The mercy that speaks for me,
• 1:44:58
  may it speak for you. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 1:45:02
  wave your hands and give Jesus praise.
• 1:45:05
  Father, we glorify you and we thank you.
• 1:45:07
  Thank you for this opportunity. In Jesus mighty name we pray.
• 1:45:13
  Amen. Just give me two minutes.
• 1:45:14
  We're out. I want to make an altar call.
• 1:45:17
  I want to make an altar call. Everyone stand.
• 1:45:20
  This is a very important moment. You came to celebrate.
• 1:45:24
  Me, but I am what I am today by the mercy of God because of
• 1:45:29
  Jesus. And today is an opportunity for
• 1:45:32
  someone to make it right. Those who are connected online,
• 1:45:35
  here's an opportunity to make Jesus Lord of your life where in
• 1:45:38
  this place, all the overflows and perhaps those outsiders,
• 1:45:42
  many who can hear me, I want to make an altar call.
• 1:45:46
  If you've seen anything that is good in this life that stands
• 1:45:51
  before you, I can tell you sincerely and without being
• 1:45:54
  political, it is because of Jesus, His grace, His mercy, His
• 1:46:00
  word, His wisdom, His power, His help.
• 1:46:03
  That's what he calls to the man you see that stands before you.
• 1:46:07
  And give me the honor of introducing this Jesus to you.
• 1:46:10
  You are in this place and you are saying, apostle, I need
• 1:46:12
  Jesus, I need Jesus, I need to make my ways right or you are
• 1:46:17
  saying I want to rededicate my life to Jesus.
• 1:46:21
  On hearing you speak, I cannot say I've been living a life of
• 1:46:24
  meaning, a life of purpose, a life that counts and I want all
• 1:46:28
  that to change. I want to have a fresh start.
• 1:46:30
  Let this be a memorable day that every time you remember my
• 1:46:33
  birthday, you will remember that it was the day you made it right
• 1:46:36
  with Jesus. I will count 1 to 5 wherever you
• 1:46:39
  are. I want to request that you leave
• 1:46:41
  your seat for those who can please make your way to the
• 1:46:44
  front here. And once the front is exhausted,
• 1:46:47
  then we allow those who can follow by the LED screen or just
• 1:46:53
  come out as directed by the Oshas.
• 1:46:55
  I'm counting one to five. Even if it's just one person.
• 1:46:58
  God bless you as you come. Colonia, let's celebrate them as
• 1:47:02
  they come. One, come, come.
• 1:47:07
  He's able to give you a new beginning.
• 1:47:09
  Some of you came to collect rice, but let Jesus be your
• 1:47:13
  Lord, and then you can collect the welfare.
• 1:47:17
  The welfare can be consumed and in a moment it's done.
• 1:47:21
  But this relationship is one that lasts forever.
• 1:47:24
  Keep clapping. 2 God bless you as you come.
• 1:47:30
  I see you, my sister. I see you, my brother. 3 4
• 1:47:42
  Koinonia, Are you clapping? They are still coming.
• 1:47:45
  God bless you. God bless you us.
• 1:47:48
  Can you direct them? God bless you, Apostle.
• 1:47:54
  I want to come, but I'm ashamed. I don't know if I consider
• 1:47:59
  myself to be a good person. I don't do anything wrong, but
• 1:48:02
  I've not confessed the Lordship of Jesus.
• 1:48:04
  You can join them. Come.
• 1:48:06
  There is such a thing as the assurance of salvation.
• 1:48:09
  You can settle it once and for all that you belong to Jesus.
• 1:48:14
  The 5th and final count. And then we begin to pray. 5.
• 1:48:20
  Hallelujah. Thank you my brothers and my
• 1:48:24
  sisters, thank you. This, I consider is the biggest
• 1:48:27
  birthday gift to be able to present you as trophies to His
• 1:48:32
  Majesty. Any other gift is greatly
• 1:48:36
  received but is far inferior. The greatest gift is to be able
• 1:48:40
  to use this occasion of life that God has given me to present
• 1:48:44
  you as worthy souls before Jesus.
• 1:48:47
  And so I thank you so much for making this happen and for those
• 1:48:50
  who are falling online following by television.
• 1:48:53
  I'm going to lead this our brothers and sisters in that
• 1:48:55
  prayer of salvation and I'd like you to join them if they are
• 1:48:58
  still persons who are coming. Please make haste, make your way
• 1:49:01
  quickly. You can indicate and the Oshas
• 1:49:03
  can direct you so that you are in frontier.
• 1:49:05
  Whilst we pray. Let me request that you lift
• 1:49:08
  your right hand, let it be high above your head.
• 1:49:10
  Say this after me as loud and as clear as you can.
• 1:49:13
  Say Lord Jesus one more time. Say Lord Jesus, I love you with
• 1:49:19
  all my heart. I believe that you are the Son
• 1:49:24
  of God. I believe that you died for my
• 1:49:29
  sin. Right now.
• 1:49:32
  I receive Jesus into my heart as my Savior, my Lord, and my King.
• 1:49:41
  I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell, and the grave is
• 1:49:50
  broken over my life from today. I'm a child of God.
• 1:49:56
  I go from glory to glory and grace to grace.
• 1:50:00
  Amen. Keep your beautiful hands
• 1:50:02
  lifted, Father. Thank you.
• 1:50:04
  Thank you for honoring this great occasion by drawing this
• 1:50:07
  many to yourself. The world declares that as many
• 1:50:10
  who will come to you, you will in no wise castaway.
• 1:50:13
  They have come declaring your lordship over their lives.
• 1:50:16
  And by the authority of Scripture, I declare your sins
• 1:50:18
  forgiving. I call you bona fide recipients
• 1:50:21
  of the life of God, the grace that keeps made keep you.
• 1:50:25
  And I decree and declare that from today you will go for
• 1:50:27
  whatever and backward never loving Jesus and living for him
• 1:50:32
  all the days of your life. In Jesus matchless name we pray.
• 1:50:37
  So please do me a favour. I'd like you to look to my
• 1:50:39
  right. You'll see the councillors
• 1:50:40
  living lifting the placard. Would you follow them and
• 1:50:43
  they'll have a word and a prayer with you very quickly, very
• 1:50:47
  quickly. God bless you very quickly, very
• 1:50:52
  quickly. Greatest thy faithfulness,
• 1:50:58
  greatest thy faithfulness, Morning by morning new mercies I
• 1:51:06
  see. All I have need at thy hands
• 1:51:11
  hath provided. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord
• 1:51:17
  unto me I sing. Great is thy faithfulness, great
• 1:51:24
  is thy faithfulness Morning by morning new mercies.
• 1:51:31
  I see all I am that thy hands are provided.
• 1:51:39
  Greatest thy faithfulness, Lord unto you.
• 1:51:45
  Father, this is my testimony. I stand before your people to
• 1:51:48
  say thank you for life, for grace, for mercy, for help.
• 1:51:54
  You've shown yourself as a faithful God over my life, and I
• 1:51:58
  declared before my dear people and before the nations, I'm
• 1:52:01
  nothing without You. If there is anything to
• 1:52:04
  celebrate in my life today, it is all because of You, Your
• 1:52:08
  faithfulness, Your help, Your mercy.
• 1:52:10
  It is of Your fullness that I've received, and I honest shamedly
• 1:52:15
  bring that prayer of gratitude to you in the presence of your
• 1:52:19
  people. Lord, I thank You for the gift
• 1:52:21
  of this precious people, the pastors who have left their
• 1:52:24
  schedules to come. I invited guests, the people who
• 1:52:28
  have come from everywhere, the many who are connected online,
• 1:52:31
  the many who have wished well through their prayers, their
• 1:52:34
  texts, their givings. Many have left their jobs, took
• 1:52:38
  time out to be here. I thank you.
• 1:52:41
  Thank you for the privilege to be able to give this welfare
• 1:52:44
  materials to the many who will be receiving.
• 1:52:47
  Thank you for the honor of bringing Your word to the
• 1:52:49
  nation, supplying Your wisdom, your power, your grace.
• 1:52:53
  Thank you for Koinonia Global, Thank you for my life.
• 1:52:57
  Lord, we decree and declare that let this celebration spring all
• 1:53:01
  of us together to a higher level of love for you, a higher level
• 1:53:06
  of service for you, that we will spend our lives living for you.
• 1:53:11
  And Lord, I pray again, standing before your people, let my life
• 1:53:16
  be rededicated afresh. Towards the service of the
• 1:53:19
  Kingdom, rededicated afresh Towards the preaching of the
• 1:53:23
  Gospel, rededicated afresh. Towards loving you and loving
• 1:53:27
  your. People and spending my day
• 1:53:30
  serving your purposes. Thank you for the privilege of
• 1:53:33
  life. And I pray that everyone who's
• 1:53:35
  connected online and everyone who took the time to come here,
• 1:53:39
  and to the many who prayed in secret, many who gave, many who
• 1:53:43
  have done all that they have done to show honor, I pray that
• 1:53:47
  you will truly honor them For me, in the name of Jesus Christ,
• 1:53:51
  Amen and Amen. Reverend Sam, thank you
• 1:53:54
  sincerely. Again.
• 1:53:55
  I appreciate you, Sir. Thank you.
• 1:53:57
  Pastor Abuja Brill, you and your wife, I thank you sincerely.
• 1:54:01
  Pastor Godwin, I'm honored. Thank you so, so much.
• 1:54:05
  In the name of Jesus Christ, thank you so much.
• 1:54:08
  And what do I say to Missus Agogo and all that came with
• 1:54:13
  her? May the Lord bless you.
• 1:54:15
  May the Lord bless every single one of you.
• 1:54:17
  I'm sorry I cannot mention all the names, but just know that I
• 1:54:20
  love you and I honor you in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:54:24
  Amen and Amen. At this point, we share the
• 1:54:27
  grace. I see a big cake here.
• 1:54:30
  They are going to cut it for you.
• 1:54:32
  Oh, well, if you can have a piece, that's fine.
• 1:54:34
  By the way, after now, once we're done sharing the rice,
• 1:54:39
  there's no meeting happening here again.
• 1:54:41
  Any other gathering would be at DOA or other venue.
• 1:54:44
  So you'll just be there, hang around, play around, jump
• 1:54:46
  around. I'm sure the welfare may have
• 1:54:48
  something for you. Just take it there, enjoy it and
• 1:54:52
  let that be a blessing for you there.
• 1:54:53
  Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
• 1:54:58
  Don't forget a miracle service is on Sunday and we invite
• 1:55:06
  everyone, all those who came to collect rice, make sure you are
• 1:55:12
  around on Sunday whether there's space or not, so that you can
• 1:55:15
  collect what is greater and better than rice for your
• 1:55:19
  destiny in the name of Jesus. OK, praise God.
• 1:55:45
  All right, so here's what we'll do.
• 1:55:46
  Please, immediately after the grace, just just listen to this
• 1:55:51
  instruction. There is a crowd of people and
• 1:55:56
  we thank God for the DPO and all those who are working.
• 1:55:59
  Thank you so much the police, military, all who are.
• 1:56:03
  Helping. Now guess what, please don't be
• 1:56:06
  in a hurry to jump out. You may hurt yourself and you'll
• 1:56:09
  believe me when I say that. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:56:11
  Just sit quietly after the grace.
• 1:56:16
  Just be patient. You will be advised from here.
• 1:56:19
  And now let me say this, if the Stampede outside is going to
• 1:56:26
  create a serious problem, we may have to discontinue the sharing
• 1:56:30
  of the rice. This is better to not share rice
• 1:56:33
  and have people alive than we carry both rice and blood back
• 1:56:37
  home. It shouldn't be that, praise
• 1:56:40
  God. And you see, once you have a
• 1:56:42
  mixed multitude, not everybody. Can you understand what I'm
• 1:56:46
  saying? People and they're doing their
• 1:56:48
  best. So let's see what happens.
• 1:56:50
  You won't sit for too long. Please just be patient so that
• 1:56:54
  you allow the security do their work and then they can advise
• 1:56:57
  how we can exit this place responsibly.
• 1:57:00
  Please remember Lord's wife, Don't act in disobedience.
• 1:57:04
  Praise the name of the Lord once we're done.
• 1:57:06
  Just be patient. And now let me speak to those
• 1:57:11
  outside. I don't know if they're hearing,
• 1:57:13
  but please allow me for one minute to speak to those
• 1:57:15
  outside. Please.
• 1:57:19
  I know that there are so many people, but I will be
• 1:57:23
  disappointed and you will discourage me from doing this
• 1:57:26
  the next time if you don't behave yourself.
• 1:57:28
  Praise the name of the Lord and I don't want a situation where
• 1:57:32
  we're going to have to pick any persons to a station or whatever
• 1:57:36
  it is. We have got enough rice and it's
• 1:57:39
  for you to be patient. If you are patient and orderly
• 1:57:43
  then we can filing people in a responsible way to pick their
• 1:57:48
  rice and leave. I want you to have your welfare
• 1:57:50
  material immediately and leave. But if it becomes a security
• 1:57:55
  concern and the DPO and other people advice otherwise, then we
• 1:57:58
  may have to cancel it, sadly. And once we do that, it then
• 1:58:02
  means that we'll not be able to share the way we intend to, to
• 1:58:07
  praise the name of the Lord. There's only so much that the
• 1:58:09
  workers need, and we don't want a situation where the blessing
• 1:58:14
  is that people can receive this and go back home today because
• 1:58:17
  it's also a means of evangelism. It's not just the rice itself.
• 1:58:21
  It's taking a message with the rice that Jesus loves.
• 1:58:25
  And here is the evidence of his love among many things.
• 1:58:27
  So don't discourage this mission, please.
• 1:58:30
  Those outside, I'm I'm sorry that I'm having to say this on
• 1:58:33
  air when organized people is just what happens when you have,
• 1:58:39
  you know, a crowd of people beyond those you have trained.
• 1:58:42
  So it's nothing unusual. It's what happens when you are
• 1:58:45
  dealing with matters like this. So we're going to share the
• 1:58:47
  grace now. Please let me request that
• 1:58:49
  you'll be seated for a while, just a few minutes and then
• 1:58:53
  you'll be advised on what to do. Just for us to clear the way,
• 1:58:56
  manage the people. We have multiple exits outside,
• 1:58:59
  so they will channel everything. Security department, please work
• 1:59:02
  quickly so that we don't keep people unnecessarily long here.
• 1:59:06
  Have you been blessed today? Again, thank you very much.
• 1:59:09
  God bless you. Let's share the grace in
• 1:59:10
  fellowship, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of
• 1:59:14
  God, the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:59:17
  Rest and abide with us now and forever.
• 1:59:20
  Surely God's goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our
• 1:59:24
  lives. Dwell in the House of the Lord
• 1:59:27
  forever and ever. Amen.
• 1:59:29
  God bless you all. Thank you very much and see you
• 1:59:31
  on Sunday.
