Be Valuable | Apostle Joshua Selman | Quit Laziness: Give Yourself to Training, Don’t Be Cheap · Selah Media House

0:00
The season of training is a very hard season.
0:08
You see some of my photos of many years.
0:11
As wonderful as those photos are, you see some of us looking
0:14
lean. We look better than those days
0:20
now, but those are the days that made these days Hallelujah.
0:28
Emptying yourself in prayer, emptying yourself in fasting,
0:34
raising the bar of your fire and your passion.
0:38
Even when you are doing well, you increase the bow of the
0:41
marking script as if you are not doing anything.
0:45
Hear me, my dear generation, hear me.
0:49
Don't settle for less. Don't settle too cheap.
0:52
There are heights and the journey is far.
0:54
Remember my teaching last week? I challenge you on this wise and
0:58
I'm still repeating it again. When it's time to announce AUS
1:03
conference, I will tell you a very serious miracle that God
1:07
did. It is there are things that when
1:10
God does, it just keeps you in awe.
1:17
Hallelujah. Let me tell you sincerely,
1:23
sincerely, and I'm saying this openly, there is no 1 LB one
1:30
euro that has been sent already for this conference.
1:34
Every money that has been used to do everything so far has been
1:39
the lavish giving of God's people with joy in their hearts
1:44
in spite of the limitation. We don't have an account
1:47
provided yet and people have squeezed in to say I can't wait
1:53
when when you stay and it builds you don't worry about supplies,
2:01
don't worry about a name, don't worry about where you will get
2:05
the donkey for the triumphant entry.
2:08
Just make sure that your your gift and your talent is
2:12
developed. In one day, God can open up a
2:17
door. Someone can come and sing one
2:19
song and the whole nation to place a demand on you.
2:23
In one day, God can put you somewhere as a politician and as
2:27
a businessman. A dear woman, I can't remember
2:31
her name now. I met her when I went to preach
2:33
for my dear friend Pastor Kingsley in Lagos.
2:36
And I meet this woman and she starts to tell me her story,
2:39
very touching story. It's possible she's even
2:41
watching on me get to hear this. And what took her to the White
2:45
House was Moi Moi, making Moi Moi.
2:52
That's what's killed her till she got to the White House.
3:02
Until today, she's still doing it.
3:04
She shared with me her story and I was so touched.
3:08
I remember discussing with Pastor Kingsley's wife.
3:10
I said you will have to do a documentary for this woman.
3:13
Incredible. Anything can lift you if you
3:17
refine it. Admiring people and wishing if I
3:22
were more beautiful. God knows if since you are not
3:25
establish something else, you are not establish Deborah, at
3:29
least be something. Wishing you were Esta is a waste
3:33
of time. If you cannot be the queen that
3:36
King Hazaros will marry, then be Deborah the warrior, then be
3:40
Naomi, then be this. If you cannot be Gideon, be
3:45
Elijah. If you cannot be Elijah, be
3:47
somewhere. Since you cannot fight, learn
3:50
how to prophecy. But by all means make sure you
3:55
do something. Can I tell you what God has put
3:58
in your hand is enough to open the gates of your destiny?
4:03
Listen to me. Thank God for those who have
4:08
what you do not have, but stop this season of blind admiration
4:12
that makes you to demean what you have.
4:15
Everybody can celebrate what you carry, you just have not
4:19
recognized it and refined it. Anything in this crude fashion
4:24
is not worthy of being rewarded. I know you are a great musician.
4:29
Thank God for David Dam and Sam and K Strings and all these my
4:34
precious people. Thank God for their lives.
4:37
But do you know that what God has put in you, someday you can
4:41
stand and share the stage and also celebrate Jesus.
4:44
But it's good to be challenged by other people's giftings.
4:48
But please not at the detriment of what God gave you.
4:51
Thank God for Apostle Joshua Salman, but what you are seeing
4:55
is a refined version of something you may even have a
4:58
greater version of. Anything looks bad when it is
5:05
not refined, including oil. Go and ask those who work in the
5:12
oil and gas sector. When you see oil in its raw and
5:15
crude state, the smell alone would drive you away.
5:18
You almost want to suffocate. Yet that's what cars will.
5:21
Queue for four hours and say thank you for paying.
5:26
Can I tell you this, God has already scheduled your destiny
5:30
helper. I have taught you.
5:32
Your destiny helper kept visiting you, but he found you
5:35
in jealousy and anger, not working on yourself and they
5:39
were authorized to go back. I hope this year they will not
5:43
come again and still find you who is still giving excuses and
5:47
blaming demons and saying it's because my father was a
5:50
drunkard. That may not be the best, but
5:52
now that you know, he's like that, what do you have to do?
5:57
Years ago, I read a story and I've shared it many times while
5:59
we're in Zarya. A man who raised two children
6:03
was not a very responsible man, unfortunately, and he raised two
6:07
children. One would later become a very
6:10
bad person in nuisance to society, and the other would
6:14
grow to be some sort of businessman, very responsible
6:17
man. And one time they had the
6:18
opportunity to interview both of them and they asked the bad,
6:22
angry person, why are you like that?
6:25
And he says, what do you expect with the kind of father I had?
6:29
That was his excuse, Why are you bad?
6:32
And bringing trouble to society, say, what do you expect with the
6:36
kind of father I had? They now ask his successful
6:39
brother, why are you like this? And say he's also answered the
6:42
same way. What do you expect with the kind
6:45
of father I had? For one person, his father's
6:48
negative situation was a challenge that made him say if I
6:51
came from a poor family, a poor family will not come out of me.
6:56
It was a determination for another person he kept blaming.
7:00
Some of you today will never rise because you are blaming
7:03
everybody in your life. They didn't help me.
7:05
I have an uncle somewhere. I even saw him the other day
7:08
buying cars for his children and not for me.
7:11
That is a mediocre excuse. Repent today and get back to
7:16
work. Hold on the steering of your
7:18
destiny with the determination of one who is working with God
7:22
and begin to drive your life to a place of purpose.
7:27
It is not because you came from a bad family.
7:30
I don't downplay the pain that you came from, but or you or you
7:34
pass through. Let me tell you, there are many
7:36
people who went to 10 times worse than experience than you
7:40
and they have been able to reinvent themselves and to rise.
7:48
Hallelujah. Many years ago, there used to be
7:53
someone in just, I think he won one of these prizes for marathon
7:57
years ago and we had the opportunity to meet him.
7:59
When introduced to the man, he used to climb a mountain with
8:02
stones, stones in a bag, like rock stones.
8:06
You put it in a bag and be hiking up a mountain.
8:10
That was the way he trained himself for that kind of thing.
8:13
Now he came from a village, very poor village, but then most
8:17
people will see him in glory and not know that that was the
8:20
price. Can I tell you?
8:21
Do not be ashamed of your tears. When you know that you are in a
8:25
season of training, don't pamper yourself.
8:28
If you must trek, trek with honor.
8:31
If you must do 001 your meal, do it with honor so that your
8:35
children can do 111. Are we together, Apostle?
8:43
I don't have the opportunity to go to a very good school.
8:46
I'm now sending my children to some, maybe some institution
8:51
that I'm paying next to nothing. They are not teaching them very
8:54
much. Let the children make good use
8:57
of that. Opportunity is better than
8:59
nothing. Tomorrow God will supplement it.
9:02
There are people like us that God is raising as midwives.
9:05
I have a very powerful teaching here about the mystery of
9:09
midwives who discussed my feeble shit and the mistakes of
9:12
midwives, that midwives can destroy destinies.
9:16
A man's destiny was crippled because of the carelessness of a
9:19
midwife. A midwife is not just a medical
9:21
practitioner. Anybody who helps people transit
9:24
from where they are to where they need to be is a midwife.
9:28
And you can produce Mephibosheth if you do not know how to raise
9:33
men. That's a teaser for that series.
9:36
Be around on that day. That day will be like the coming
9:39
of Christ. I will not tell you, just be
9:42
ready. Hallelujah.
9:46
How many of you here as worship ministers listening to me can
9:51
truly say I am working on myself to a point where even if 10
9:55
million naira is given to me, it will not look like it is too
9:59
much a reward. Do you know I'm saying this
10:01
without humility. I remember days when I started
10:04
preaching, I would go to preach doing my best.
10:07
And once I'm done preaching, you see the people discussing,
10:10
they're obviously discussing what to do with me.
10:12
And they would just put maybe rice in the park away.
10:16
And once they put it, they would just add open a notebook and
10:20
tear out a little sheet and just fold 100 naira, maybe 1000.
10:25
And just a man of God, you know that.
10:28
May God bless you. And they will wait till like
10:30
climb the bike to return me home first.
10:32
Then they'll just smuggle it like bribery in my pocket.
10:35
But I'll take it with joy. That was not my motive.
10:37
But I knew that days will come when God will.
10:42
His justice system will not allow that kind of thing to
10:44
happen again. I didn't need.
10:47
I have never and I will never in my life tell anybody give me
10:52
this amount, give me this honor. No, never, never.
10:56
The covenant of my call and my service prohibits that I love
11:00
him and I serve him truly. I would rather even sow into the
11:03
lives of the people and bless them.
11:06
Hallelujah, sacrifice. I remember one time I think I
11:14
preaching that was I think some went on those dates and we're
11:21
done and we're no was it that was Funnabus.
11:24
So I can't remember and I was to return to have a meeting in just
11:28
and it was by Rd. Ladies and gentlemen, look, let
11:32
me tell you, when you go through the seasons of training, don't
11:36
worry. Go through it with pain, but
11:39
with gallancy and honor, knowing that there is a compensation
11:43
system waiting for you while you are rehearsing.
11:47
My dear instrumentalist, don't don't pamper yourself.
11:50
Rehearse for hours, learn the songs, fast and pray.
11:55
Receive songs from heaven. OK, the first one that God used
11:59
you to bring. It didn't seem to be
12:01
appreciated. No problem, go back again.
12:05
One night you will catch a fish that your net will be sinking
12:10
and your boat will be breaking. Your your, your net will be
12:12
breaking and your boat will be sinking.
12:16
As a preacher, keep being diligent, pray and prepare.
12:20
Find yourself to flames. Don't try to expose yourself and
12:24
say no me, I'm here. Neither do men light a lamp.
12:28
You just keep adding fire and they will come.
12:31
When it's time for God to announce you, he will put all
12:34
your destiny help us in front of you and then somebody will
12:37
passively say help us and round up this service with one last
12:41
prayer, 5 minutes prayer. Let us pray.
12:44
God will sign on your tongue and sign on your voice in a way that
12:48
someone, someone will come and meet you and say we have a
12:50
little conference, the speaker is not coming again, can you
12:53
come and help us? Don't take it as an insult.
12:55
Go and God will announce you until one day you stand on stage
13:01
with the people you once admired and they will call you blessed
13:10
businessman. Don't try to act like you're a
13:13
billionaire. Well, act in your mind, but not
13:15
by faking your life. You're not there, you're not
13:17
there. Diligence will make you go there
13:19
and they will come. The people you are begging today
13:22
to be an honor for you to sit at the same table to for them to
13:25
sit with you and they will share as colleagues.
13:28
But until then, refine yourself. I'm speaking to someone
13:32
prophetically. Refine yourself.
13:34
Have begged. You will not rise to certain
13:37
heights, not by sentiments and not by anything.
13:43
Apostle. Kings are not making a demand on
13:45
me. I'm a I'm a a chef or I cook.
13:48
You cook as good as what can we ask you to come and cook for
13:53
kings and be sure you will not disappoint them?
13:59
You know I've taught you when it has to do with the issue of
14:01
value. Don't stop until the person you
14:04
are serving is the king. Once you have not gotten into
14:08
the palace, don't stop. You go to my house right now.
14:13
God is my witness You on my laptop.
14:16
There are videos I'm watching, There are there are things I'm
14:19
writing for my own personal growth.
14:22
As soon as I'm done, finished with ministry activity, I go
14:25
back. It's not an excuse to say I'm
14:27
going to jump and sleep. I have daily routines that I
14:30
must cover by covenant. Doesn't matter whether I'm tired
14:34
or not. As I travel, they go with me.
14:37
I finished preaching on why people are saying I was in the
14:39
meeting. Keep shouting on that anointing
14:41
while I keep building myself. Lord, your boys here again.
14:44
Let's continue the training from where we stop.
14:50
Your word tonight should be that song you had fix me, take away
14:54
pride. Fix me, take away complacency.
14:58
Fix me, take away flimsy excuses.
15:03
I know that Nigeria is not in the best of state but there are
15:06
people who even if Jesus was the person in asshole rock, they
15:10
will still suffer because their problem is in.
15:13
I'm not saying that in a derogatory way, forgive me, but
15:17
that they would still go through a hard life because
15:22
intrinsically it's just easy to blame people and things.
15:28
You are ready to rise when you can take responsibility and say
15:31
I've been a careless father. Nigeria is not the reason why my
15:35
children are not in school. I have not gotten up to take
15:38
responsibility, Lord, I have failed in my responsibility as a
15:42
father, and I apologize to my wife and my children.
15:46
I grew up from a background where I did not know much.
15:49
Lord, I am ready to learn. My children will never be thrown
15:52
out of school again. I don't know what to do, but I
15:55
know that I'm not going back again and the spirit of wisdom
15:59
will take it from there. The first video you will watch,
16:02
you will find my video on productivity and fire comes from
16:06
that video to now stabilize you first, then you start following
16:09
the mysteries of the Kingdom and in one year it will look like a
16:13
mistake you would have come out of that and you will build a
16:16
scholarship fund after your pain to now help other children.
16:24
Apostle. We, we, we come from a very
16:27
terrible family. That's why we're all struggling.
16:30
Eight of us in one room. For as long as you keep blaming
16:33
someone that has died and gone for the reason why you are where
16:36
you are, there is no rising for you.
16:39
In my world, there are no excuses.
16:41
I take responsibility for anything and everything that
16:45
does not work and I get to work about it.
16:48
That's the mindset of a champion.
16:51
Stop pointing hands at people and lay your hands on the plough
16:55
and say Lord grant me grace. There is a reason why my
16:58
ministry is not growing. Father I I love you with
17:02
integrity of heart, but what am I missing?
17:04
And the Lord will say, go and listen to apostles message the
17:07
work of the ministry and you go and get that teaching and come
17:10
with it a message of one or two hours.
17:13
You will use four days to listen because you keep pausing and
17:16
praying, pausing and praying. Finally, you will find a few
17:20
secrets, and from there you will rise.
17:27
You must damage ignorance from your life.
17:30
Fight it like you're fighting the devil.
17:33
Mama, don't say I am too old. There's nothing I can do.
17:37
If there is nothing you can do, you can pray.
17:40
If there is nothing you can do, you can advise.
17:43
If there is nothing you can do, you can call your sons and
17:46
daughters and say, I may not have made the most out of my
17:48
life. But my dear children, in my
17:50
lifetime, I want you to rise up and surpass me.
17:53
I want to watch with my eyes your victory.
17:56
Let it be a consolation to the things I could not do.
18:01
Can I tell you, anybody who goes through the same pain you went
18:05
through that went before you, you have not blessed them.
18:09
If you go through poverty, make sure you are the last.
18:12
If you go through spiritual bankruptcy, make sure you are
18:14
the last. If you made mistakes with your
18:17
life and all kinds of things happen, make sure you are the
18:19
last. You conquer any situation in
18:22
life when you bring victory lessons out of it that can help
18:26
other people. Hallelujah.
18:32
When we started what we're doing, people hardly believed in
18:36
what we're doing. People made all kinds of
18:38
statements and made it look like, and I made-up my mind from
18:41
that experience, that as much as God grants me grace, I will
18:45
invest in younger ministers that are coming.
18:48
Correct them when they are wrong, but encourage them, hold
18:51
their hands without groups as individuals to help them.
18:55
If they are stubborn and they don't choose to rise, no
18:57
problem, That's a different thing.
18:58
But for as many people who are determined to rise, I can tell
19:02
you for as long as I'm alive, we will use the influence, the
19:06
resources, the rod of correction all together to help them rise.
19:10
Well, Hallelujah. I made-up my mind that I was not
19:16
going to be poor. The devil had that confession.
19:18
He thought I was joking. Ask him now.
19:24
I made-up my mind that that nobody will cut short my life
19:29
before my time. It looked like an arrogant
19:31
statement. I watched many sincere people
19:33
die by my left and my right. I sympathize with so many of
19:37
them, but I'm happy that the most of them have gone to be
19:40
with the Lord. But I said As for me, the
19:43
fullness of my days I will fulfill.
19:45
It is still my confession. I made-up my mind that I will
19:48
never raise a people who are just spiritual and bankrupt of
19:51
influence. I knew that just speaking like
19:54
that will not be the solution. I went to find out from those
19:58
who have the proven track records, those who brought
20:02
kings. The first lesson I learned was
20:04
that anytime you speak you must find a scripture that supports
20:08
what you are saying. And I went to Genesis chapter 17
20:11
and verse 6. That's where I got my leadership
20:14
principle. And I will make the exceeding
20:17
fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall
20:21
come out of you. It was an uncalled scripture
20:24
that I held. I said, Lord, I will never raise
20:26
a small people. It doesn't matter what.
20:29
I will never raise a small people.
20:31
But the secret is the ministry of the Spirit and the word of
20:36
the Spirit. Remember, it is the mystery of
20:38
the 10 virgins. It is not always about sin and
20:43
righteousness. You can be righteous and still
20:45
feel. The Bible there showed that.
20:48
It is about sin and righteousness and then
20:51
foolishness and wisdom. You can be righteous and foolish
20:55
like the five virgins. You will still feel so once you
20:59
deal with the issue of sin and righteousness.
21:01
That is the first step. You must now start giving
21:04
yourself a superior orientation to damage and erode foolishness
21:08
from your life. The parable of the 10 virgins
21:11
was not about sinners. They were all virgins.
21:14
All of them had the lamp, which is the word of God, but what
21:17
they had was insufficiency of their relationship with the Holy
21:20
Spirit. It took the lamp and the oil for
21:24
lights to come. You can have the lamp and not
21:27
have the oil. Fix me, fix me.
21:36
Fix the issue of pride. Fix the issue of laziness.
21:41
Fix the issue of giving excuses. Oh God, it is time for my
21:45
destiny to rise. You are the rewarder of them
21:48
that diligently seek you. He said let us not be weary in
21:52
well doing, for we will reap in due season if we faint not.
21:56
Lord, this is not the best of me as a man of God.
22:00
Thank you for your help upon my life, but I take responsibility.
22:04
The nations are not placing a demand upon my life because
22:07
there is a level of acceptance in the spirit that I need to
22:10
rise to that probably through carelessness or complacency or
22:15
an early arrival mentality of no reason.
22:18
But by this message I take advantage and I begin to press.
22:24
There is a reward. Not for this version of you, a
22:28
higher version of you, man of God.
22:32
The day God uses you to raise the dead, that day you will not
22:36
ask for partners again. People will call you even while
22:39
you are sleeping and say please send us your account number, we
22:43
want to give you a billion naira and you tell them till tomorrow
22:47
and they will call you by 6:00 AM and say I'm still waiting.
22:52
Suffering is not generic. Your value or the absence of it
22:57
is what defines your possibilities.
23:00
Please try to believe what I'm telling you.
23:06
Many years ago when I drove into this city, there was a
23:10
particular park not too far from here that I would go and stop.
23:16
I would land there and then go to a restaurant that was close
23:23
by there and eat. Before I now start exploring all
23:28
the things that brought me and I did that with joy because I knew
23:31
that one day will be a story. Let me tell you something that
23:36
happened when we're graduating, the School of Ministry students,
23:40
the last set. So I needed to have a snapshot
23:43
with them. And then they drove me round to
23:47
come in and I passed that area and I just looked and I nodded
23:53
my head. I remember the features there.
23:56
And I said, goodness, this life, somebody you need to pray fix me
24:02
so that your tomorrow will not be angry that you wasted your
24:05
today. Let the 10 year old version of
24:10
you look at me. I thought something years ago in
24:14
Zarya and I told them, I said the 10 year version of you 10
24:18
years before now. If he looks at you now, will he
24:21
say this was a person I wanted to become?
24:24
Or will he say you wasted the gift of time?
24:27
Don't let the 10, the next 10 years of your life look like the
24:31
same because you keep giving excuses.
24:36
My voice is not very nice, that's why I'm not singing well.
24:39
You aren't serious. Then write a good song and let
24:43
those with good voices sing and give credit to you.
24:47
I didn't have time to prepare my sermon for the teachings because
24:50
I I teach on Sunday and I teach midweek service.
24:53
You know it's not easy, respectfully speaking flimsy
24:57
excuse. Go and find out those who preach
25:00
5 to 10 sermons in a week and they have been doing that for
25:04
many, many, many, many years. I'm lazy spiritually now because
25:12
I have children. No, no, no, I'm not a giver now
25:20
because times are hard. I used to go and buy books and
25:24
invest in myself, but now I don't do so much.
25:27
No, God is speaking to you because we are going to pray and
25:30
there is a grace that I pray to God for that will come upon you.
25:34
Honestly speaking, the gift of a man.
25:38
When God taught me this, it changed my life.
25:41
I made-up my mind that I would love God with all my heart, but
25:46
my generation will never look at me as an entity.
25:49
It's not pride, it's the truth. The secret is this.
25:54
I found your word and I did eat it.
25:57
I made-up my mind that there is nowhere across this globe I will
26:01
not enter any circle where I'll be intimidated.
26:05
I can be challenged for good, I can be provoked onto a greater
26:10
sense, but not that I get somewhere and look at myself and
26:13
feel miserable. No, I told myself that that
26:16
dimension of shame, I will end it forever.
26:26
There are places I enter today, there are people I meet today
26:30
that I consider it an honorable privilege to sit with them,
26:34
shake hands with them, talk with them.
26:37
Kings, presidents of nations. I don't take it for granted.
26:41
But can I tell you it is not as a valueless person that I sit
26:45
there. It is not as a necessary
26:47
luggage. I'm carried there.
26:49
It's with honor and gallancy to also contribute to their lives.
26:53
This is what God is training you to become, so that you are like
26:57
a battle axe. Whether you stand before kings
27:00
and presidents and nobles, you will honour them as touching
27:03
what they represent, but not to the detriment of your value.
27:12
Hallelujah. If I may not have the kind of
27:18
intellectual soundness you want, there is an anointing that can
27:23
do something in your life. If I may not have the vocal
27:30
skills that you want, I can pray and I have a covenant with God
27:36
and you will come on your behalf.
27:38
My question for you as we prepare to pray is what is that
27:41
rod in your hand? There is a rod you have
27:44
neglected while admiring others. There is an anointing that has
27:49
been hovering around your destiny, waiting for your value,
27:53
waiting for you to build yourself.
27:55
Listen to me, The reward system in this Kingdom answers to
28:00
value. You are a doctor.
28:03
Rise to a level where you become an exceptional 1 and trust the
28:07
God who announces men to announce you.
28:10
You are a preacher, not for the sake of competition, but ladies
28:13
and gentlemen, make a covenant with yourself and your destiny
28:17
that no man will give you access to his puppet.
28:20
And while you stand and you are preaching, they are discussing
28:23
among themselves. Let this be the last time this
28:25
man returns here because he ended up wasting our time,
28:28
wasting the time of our partners, wasting the time of
28:31
all those who love this ministry.
28:34
No, no excuses, no excuses, no excuses, no excuses, no excuses.
28:42
Train yourself, build yourself, cry but train yourself.
28:47
Cry but pray, Cry but go for trainings.
28:51
Some of you after tonight you should go online and look for
28:54
programs that you can do even if it's two week, one month, 2
28:57
month programs that can help to file your understanding or
29:01
informally educate yourself. There are materials online.
29:06
Everything you you are looking for you can find if you search
29:09
with patience and with humility and determination.
29:13
Let those who have results speak to you and mentor you and help
29:18
you and build you. Hallelujah.
29:26
Make up your mind that God will be able to trust you with the
29:30
nations and you will not be a disappointment because of the
29:34
Excellency of your preparedness. Let me stop here.
29:38
The reward system of the Kingdom, therefore, is based on
29:42
God's ability to anoint your value.
29:45
Listen carefully to anoint your value, not just to anoint you to
29:50
anoint your value, to anoint your skills, to anoint your
29:55
ability, Ability that is developed, ability that is
30:00
refined, ability that is ready to be deployed.
30:04
Then the anointing comes upon it.
30:06
The union between the anointing, the embracing the favor of the
30:11
Spirit, and value that is refined is what schedules
30:15
seasons of reward in this Kingdom.
30:18
Let me repeat for one last time. Then we begin to pray the union
30:22
between the supernatural anointing of the Holy Spirit
30:25
coming upon your value, your skill, your ability, your
30:30
gifting that has been discovered, developed and
30:36
refined with pain, patience, sacrifice.
30:40
That is what schedules seasons of rewards.
30:46
Are you a footballer? You're a footballer.
30:50
Come and we will never settle for less.
30:59
We know there's more that's found in you.
31:04
You play footballer, you play football professionally.
31:09
How long have you been in it? I find I find it hard when it is
31:17
always time to my beetroot to play.
31:19
Like now I'm supposed to play for oil sports when I'm ready.
31:22
I can't even play the boy. Listen, this is what I'm saying.
31:27
Your gift, you have done your own work, but there's no
31:29
anointing on it. You see, it is not skill alone.
31:33
This is where the pride of the secular world comes.
31:37
As powerful as your skill is, minus the anointing, the devil
31:41
can rubbish you in one moment. That's why I told you there is a
31:44
grace that is coming because some of you, in truth, you have
31:48
done your homework. God brought you to church
31:50
because the missing component, that grace that must come upon.
31:55
The oil wants to multiply, but the vessel is small.
32:00
Now that you have taken time to expand the vessel, the oil wants
32:04
to multiply to fill up every vessel.
32:06
Can I pray for you, my friend? I'll pray for you, Father, in
32:14
the name of Jesus, I pray for this.
32:17
Our dear one, you are not ashamed.
32:21
You came to church and held a football in your hand.
32:25
That is a level of conviction and passion.
32:28
You are not ashamed of it. I stretch my hands towards you,
32:32
and I pray in the name of Jesus, the anointing that lifts men,
32:38
that comes upon their gifts. May that grace rest upon you.
32:44
May that grace rest upon you. May that grace rest upon you.
32:49
I impart that anointing upon you, and in the name of Jesus, I
32:53
open the two lift gates for you. I release you.
32:56
Go and flourish. Go and prosper in the name of
33:01
Jesus. That's how it works, Your skill
33:06
and your gift. Listen carefully now.
33:11
Watch this, my friend. The day you will come to stand
33:15
here, remind everybody of this thing that happened.
33:19
Go. Watch this While Jesus was
33:32
struggling to learn, the Holy Ghost acted as if he did not see
33:35
him till after 30 years. When Jesus was prepared.
33:40
He now came to John in the wilderness, right?
33:46
John baptizes Jesus, then the heavens are opened and the Holy
33:50
Ghost now comes. You would think that he did not
33:53
see Jesus. Some of you here are yet to walk
33:59
on yourself. There is no need doing any
34:01
impartation because the truth is that it's going to be a waste.
34:04
The only impartation you need is grace and the stamina, the
34:07
staying power, the resilience to keep pushing, whether in
34:12
ministry, business, professional life and pursuit.
34:15
But there are others in all honesty scattered across this
34:18
crowd following online. You're saying apostle, I don't
34:22
mean to be arrogant, but I sincerely can admit to you that
34:26
God has helped me. I have done my homework in
34:29
ministry. I have done my homework in
34:32
business. It is for such.
34:34
I want to welcome you by this impartation you're about to
34:36
receive. Now you saw what happened to our
34:38
dear footballer gentleman, There is an anointing, believe me,
34:43
that can come upon men. We don't just work by skill
34:45
alone. That is why I told you the
34:47
reward system of the Kingdom is the union.
34:51
I will emphasize again between value, refined value that is
34:58
prepared to be deployed, and then the increasing of the
35:02
spirit when these two combined together.
35:06
There is no limit to how far a man can go.
35:10
They will be stupid and arrogant for many, many, many years
35:13
before now to imagine that will be influencing people across the
35:17
globe to go from one nation to the other and keep that nation
35:21
at a standstill. It was a phenomenal meeting that
35:24
we had in Kenya last last year. I think it was within a span of
35:29
one to two months. The planning, no publicity
35:33
material that I'm I'm aware, billboards and the rest none,
35:36
65,000 people, phenomenal meeting by the spirit.
35:43
The fathers of the land there told me according to them that
35:46
the last time a meeting like this happened was when Maurice
35:51
Cerullo came and the spiritual father of the man who hosted me
35:55
who were there with him. And he was telling me because he
35:58
was Maurice Sorullo's interpreter.
36:00
And the fathers were broken and humbled and said we see the fire
36:03
of revival returning to Kenya again.
36:06
It does not happen by luck. I don't know what height you
36:14
want God to take you in to, but in the next two minutes, for the
36:19
sake of time, please no distraction.
36:21
I want you to cry out your destiny before your Maker in the
36:26
name of Jesus, presents that rod in your hand to God.
36:30
Go ahead. Is it your music ministry?
36:33
Is it your business? What is the road you want God to
36:37
announce tonight that we think you will use to schedule a
36:40
season of financial rewards? Rewards in terms of influence
36:45
and visibility. Cry before God, shabba katos
36:49
kete brendege Pata embrecate bakatos kete belegeta.
36:55
Lord, I may not have much, but here is my heart, my, my, my,
37:09
everything. Take it, it's yours alone.
37:17
Go ahead and pray. Lord, I hand over this prophetic
37:21
ministry. I may not have much, but this is
37:25
the grace you have given me.
