- 5:45Speaker 8: very carefully. Every spirit that wants to distract you this night,
- 5:51Speaker 8: you most consciously cast it, because what I'm about to
- 5:56Speaker 8: share for many of you, it will open you to
- 5:59Speaker 8: a new dimension of wisdom and a new dimension of gracea.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Amen.
- 6:06Speaker 4: I've told us that time does not change anything.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Time only reveals. It is light that brings the transformation
- 6:17Speaker 3: and the changes that we need in our lives. So
- 6:21Speaker 3: if you're waiting for time to change anything in your life,
- 6:25Speaker 3: it will never change anything. Time will only reveal the
- 6:30Speaker 3: truth about a thing or otherwise.
- 6:33Speaker 4: But time in itself does not have the ability to
- 6:36Speaker 4: change anything.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Time is only relevant when there are other factors also
- 6:41Speaker 3: in place.
- 6:43Speaker 4: Allelujah, Holy Spirit, to.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Thank you for your wisdom. There are number of issues
- 6:50Speaker 3: that I'll be talking about today, Hallelujah.
- 6:55Speaker 4: I like us to look very deeply into the subject
- 7:00Speaker 4: of relationships and marriage tonight. Hallelujah.
- 7:06Speaker 3: Praise the Lord. Not distracting people. Everybody came for business tonight,
- 7:13Speaker 3: so you sit down and listen. I'll be discussing a
- 7:20Speaker 3: few issues that I think will really challenge us. I
- 7:28Speaker 3: went through a recent statistics about Christian homes and Christian marriages,
- 7:32Speaker 3: and it really really broke my heart to see how
- 7:36Speaker 3: that the number of failed marriages we have in the church.
- 7:41Speaker 3: We're not talking of outside the church. The number of
- 7:44Speaker 3: failed marriages in the church is becoming a learning that
- 7:50Speaker 3: I'm talking about marriage does not mean that i will
- 7:53Speaker 3: not talk about many other issues. As I'm teaching about marriage,
- 7:57Speaker 3: some of you will hear revelations that will bring you
- 7:59Speaker 3: into de part dimensions of intimacy with the Wooly story.
- 8:02Speaker 3: There's so many things I.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Want to talk about.
- 8:04Speaker 3: There are corrections, major generational corrections that God is going
- 8:10Speaker 3: to be bringing tonight. I'm going to be talking about
- 8:12Speaker 3: a few issues that I think many men of God
- 8:14Speaker 3: have shied away from or have not really sustained intelligence
- 8:19Speaker 3: in the spirit to address very genuinely and truthfully.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Allelujah, And so we'll be looking very closely.
- 8:30Speaker 3: You would expect that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ,
- 8:34Speaker 3: being a church that is called after his name, we
- 8:38Speaker 3: should excel in every area of our lives, most especially marriage,
- 8:42Speaker 3: especially because the issue of relationships and marriage was God's idea.
- 8:48Speaker 3: It was not man's prayer request to God and then
- 8:51Speaker 3: his answer. So you'd wonder why two Christians can be
- 8:55Speaker 3: born again, framed in tongues and then will not be
- 8:59Speaker 3: able to have a very successful marriage.
- 9:03Speaker 4: And the rate is alarming brothers and sisters.
- 9:06Speaker 3: The rate is alarming. And then another closely related to
- 9:12Speaker 3: that is another very interesting discovery, And it has been
- 9:18Speaker 3: proven again that it is more difficult to get married
- 9:21Speaker 3: in our generation, in fact, ten times more difficult to
- 9:25Speaker 3: get married into this's world and into this's church than
- 9:29Speaker 3: it was a few years ago. And we're going to
- 9:34Speaker 3: be examining that. Why should that be so, Because as
- 9:37Speaker 3: at the time of our parents and grandparents, they didn't
- 9:40Speaker 3: have access to marriage seminars, they didn't have access to books,
- 9:45Speaker 3: they didn't have access to resources. Is that true? But
- 9:48Speaker 3: right now we have almost every man of God I
- 9:51Speaker 3: know who has written books, has touched on the subject
- 9:53Speaker 3: of marriage. Every church convention, women programs, there are all
- 9:58Speaker 3: kinds of women's ministries that I've come up trying to
- 10:01Speaker 3: address the issue of marriage. There are all kinds of articles.
- 10:04Speaker 3: In fact, there are ministries that are founded dedicated towards
- 10:09Speaker 3: the family life. At least we understand right now that
- 10:12Speaker 3: the family is one of the mountains that God has
- 10:15Speaker 3: set for influence. Yet the more these information is called,
- 10:19Speaker 3: the more the graph of excellence in marriage and relationships
- 10:24Speaker 3: generally detorial reate. And I've identified some reasons by the
- 10:30Speaker 3: Spirit of God, and we're going to share on a
- 10:32Speaker 3: number of things. The first area we're going to consider
- 10:36Speaker 3: is we want to find out why it keeps getting
- 10:41Speaker 3: difficult to get married in the church today. What exactly
- 10:45Speaker 3: is the puzzle? What is wrong? Is it that God
- 10:48Speaker 3: has changed his mind about marriage and relationships? Please pay
- 10:52Speaker 3: attention marriage single This is from the spirit and this
- 10:56Speaker 3: will bless us. Why many remain unmarried not willfully? And
- 11:06Speaker 3: why many more Christians will remain unmarried in the day's
- 11:10Speaker 3: succom Hallelujah number one. The first reason why many Christians
- 11:22Speaker 3: or many in the Body of Christ, loving people, people
- 11:26Speaker 3: who sincere in love God and fare the Lord, may
- 11:29Speaker 3: remain unmarried for a very long time. The first reason
- 11:35Speaker 3: here is misconceptions and confusion about the concept of the
- 11:41Speaker 3: will of God or the perfect match. Write it down.
- 11:47Speaker 3: The first reason is misconceptions and confusions about the concept
- 11:58Speaker 3: of You can put in quote the will of God
- 12:01Speaker 3: or the perfect match. Write it down, wet mos Li truly,
- 12:18Speaker 3: most there is a widespread and listen carefully, there is
- 12:25Speaker 3: a widespread confusion in the Body of Christ. Pentecostal circles,
- 12:33Speaker 3: orthodog circles, Presbyterian circles. There is a widespread confusion, and
- 12:39Speaker 3: that confusion keeps multiplying as to the concept of what
- 12:44Speaker 3: we have come to know in the Body of Christ
- 12:47Speaker 3: as the will of God in marriage, or as we
- 12:51Speaker 3: call it in a secular society, the perfect match. This
- 12:54Speaker 3: has been one of the major reasons why many believer
- 12:58Speaker 3: us do not get married, and why many may not
- 13:01Speaker 3: get married. It's a different thing if you are planning,
- 13:04Speaker 3: you have your goals and so on and so forth.
- 13:06Speaker 3: But there are so many people who truly desire to
- 13:09Speaker 3: be married forty years, fifty years, fifty five years, sixty years.
- 13:15Speaker 3: In the church, they tell you they are still trusting
- 13:19Speaker 3: God for a life partner, or trusting God to settle down.
- 13:23Speaker 3: And the number one reason is that there has been
- 13:26Speaker 3: a misconception, of course, perpetuated by men of God and
- 13:32Speaker 3: marriage counselors and Christian counselors and Christian books and relationship
- 13:38Speaker 3: ministries about the concept of the will of God and
- 13:43Speaker 3: the perfect match. Is that true? There are so many
- 13:47Speaker 3: people today who may never get married because they listen
- 13:51Speaker 3: to a message in a marriage seminar or your pastor
- 13:55Speaker 3: or another man of God or somewhere, a convention, a
- 14:00Speaker 3: friends you went to, and you had a woman of
- 14:03Speaker 3: God or a man of God you respect and admire,
- 14:05Speaker 3: communicate a thought about the will of God, about the
- 14:10Speaker 3: perfect match and the danger of making a wrong decision
- 14:15Speaker 3: in marriage. The great consequence of having someone who is
- 14:20Speaker 3: not designed for you and that has put fear in
- 14:23Speaker 3: the body of Christ is that true unbelievers don't have
- 14:27Speaker 3: any problem because they can hop into any relationship and
- 14:31Speaker 3: hop out they can get married. And then for unbelievers,
- 14:35Speaker 3: marriage is a contrast, not a covenant, So there is
- 14:38Speaker 3: no fear. I can step in and get married to
- 14:40Speaker 3: this lady. After two years, if it does not work,
- 14:43Speaker 3: I throw out and go my way. So because of that,
- 14:47Speaker 3: that freedom that godlessness affords them, they have no fear.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Is that true? One person can be in a relationship
- 14:54Speaker 3: with twenty ladies, for instance, and then the person does
- 14:58Speaker 3: not care frankly, because us he's at liberty at any
- 15:02Speaker 3: time to let any of them go. But there seems
- 15:05Speaker 3: to be this sacredness in the body of Christ which
- 15:08Speaker 3: is very good, but if not balanced, it will mislead
- 15:11Speaker 3: a lot of people. So the share of missing out
- 15:15Speaker 3: on the will of God, the confusion as to how
- 15:19Speaker 3: to really ascertain is there one person for a guy
- 15:24Speaker 3: or a lady that has been destined when you were born,
- 15:27Speaker 3: that one person was born and if you never find
- 15:30Speaker 3: that person, you are in confusion. There's been all kinds
- 15:32Speaker 3: of teaching like that, is that true? And many ladies
- 15:36Speaker 3: are sincerely waiting? And then the icing of the cake
- 15:42Speaker 3: has been the concept of prophetic revelation. Prophetic revelation has
- 15:48Speaker 3: further complicated this point. Right when you identify a lady
- 15:54Speaker 3: and you tell her, for instance, I'm seeing your husband
- 15:57Speaker 3: in a vision. Your husband's name is John. He say,
- 16:01Speaker 3: yellow guy Tall is a graduate of UNN and so
- 16:07Speaker 3: on and so forth, and all through that lady's life
- 16:10Speaker 3: ten years, twenty years, she convinces herself that she's enduring
- 16:15Speaker 3: because of a prophetic word that was given. It doesn't
- 16:18Speaker 3: matter how many Christian borers come around, because she's motivated
- 16:22Speaker 3: by the sinceret desire. Now, it's not like she's trying
- 16:26Speaker 3: to be difficult and is God speaking to you already?
- 16:31Speaker 3: This teaching tonight will bring a very radical deliference to
- 16:36Speaker 3: many people. Hallelujah. So she's waiting for the perfect match.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Every guy that comes, she's looking at him based on
- 16:47Speaker 3: the prophetic template, and she trusts the man of God
- 16:50Speaker 3: who gave her that revelation. He may not be a
- 16:53Speaker 3: fake man of God. And then for twenty years she's waiting,
- 16:57Speaker 3: and you ask her, what exactly are you waiting for?
- 17:00Speaker 3: And said, all the days of my appointed time, I
- 17:03Speaker 3: will wait until my change comes. Now watch this, watch this.
- 17:07Speaker 3: There are many people who waited like that, and their
- 17:10Speaker 3: change truly came. Someone came exactly like that, and it
- 17:15Speaker 3: was what's the wait? And there are others who have
- 17:18Speaker 3: waited like that. And five years turn to ten, ten,
- 17:22Speaker 3: turn to fifteen, fifteen turn to twenty five years when
- 17:26Speaker 3: their colleagues, the children of your colleagues are graduating and
- 17:28Speaker 3: getting married, they're still waiting for that promise. And they
- 17:32Speaker 3: died in anger and bitterness. What exactly is the concept
- 17:40Speaker 3: of the will of God in terms of marriage? What
- 17:46Speaker 3: does the Bible teach not? What does a marriage counsel
- 17:49Speaker 3: or teach not? What? Let me tell you something. Marriage
- 17:53Speaker 3: is a mystery. No matter how long you are married,
- 17:56Speaker 3: you cannot have enough audacity to talk about it so accurutely.
- 18:00Speaker 3: You know, I truly believe. Listen, listen, I believe in
- 18:07Speaker 3: the fact that experience can teach a lot of things.
- 18:09Speaker 3: When a man has been married for thirty years thirty
- 18:12Speaker 3: five years, I believe he has something to say. But
- 18:15Speaker 3: the mysterious nature of marriage is such that there is
- 18:19Speaker 3: no amount of time you stay in marriage that will
- 18:22Speaker 3: afford you every information and knowledge you know as far
- 18:26Speaker 3: as you are living in a mortal body. Hallelujah. Is
- 18:31Speaker 3: that true. Paul the Apostle, for instance, was never married,
- 18:37Speaker 3: yet he articulated a lot of things, and he guided
- 18:41Speaker 3: the New Testament about marriage. Jesus himself was never married,
- 18:46Speaker 3: yet he spoke about the issue of marriage and divorced.
- 18:49Speaker 3: So I want to clarify something up front. There are
- 18:52Speaker 3: many people who believe that because they are married, they
- 18:55Speaker 3: convinced themselves that they have gained enough experience to tell
- 19:00Speaker 3: everybody anything, and they create a doctrine out of their
- 19:04Speaker 3: experience and they tell everybody shut off, what do you
- 19:07Speaker 3: know about marriage? Marriage is a mystery. It's not revealed
- 19:11Speaker 3: by your longevity. There is reviewed by the agency of
- 19:14Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit. It's God helping us tonight because many
- 19:22Speaker 3: erroneous books listen have comme as a result of people
- 19:26Speaker 3: who claim they have experienced thirty years in marriage, forty
- 19:30Speaker 3: years in marriage, and they market their template on what
- 19:34Speaker 3: they think their experience has been as at the time
- 19:39Speaker 3: they were getting married. There were social cultural differences. At
- 19:43Speaker 3: that time, a woman was believed to only be defended.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Women did not go to school. Then women did not
- 19:51Speaker 3: do a lot of things. Then a woman never dreamt
- 19:53Speaker 3: of owning a house, is that true? A woman never
- 19:56Speaker 3: dreamt of getting a job. So that idea theology of
- 20:00Speaker 3: marriage as part that time made a man absolutely responsible
- 20:05Speaker 3: for everything. And so the woman stayed at home as
- 20:09Speaker 3: a responsibility whether the man treated how well or not.
- 20:13Speaker 3: She knew that living was never an option because the
- 20:16Speaker 3: ideology giving to her was that if you leave the home,
- 20:19Speaker 3: you have no reason to live again. So that man,
- 20:23Speaker 3: who may have been punishing his wife for thirty years
- 20:26Speaker 3: only because they are not divorced, convinces himself that he
- 20:29Speaker 3: has been doing the right thing because they are together.
- 20:32Speaker 3: And you get to the point now and he takes
- 20:34Speaker 3: what he's supposed to be his experience and he starts
- 20:37Speaker 3: to mentor younger generations and say, after all, my wife
- 20:41Speaker 3: is here with me. We have been thirty years in marriage.
- 20:44Speaker 3: That woman has gone through thirty years of hell. It's
- 20:47Speaker 3: just that our ideology has kept that year. And because
- 20:51Speaker 3: they are not divorced, the man convinces himself that he
- 20:55Speaker 3: understands the formula for marriage wrong. In our contemporary society today,
- 21:03Speaker 3: it is possible to come into a lady's life who
- 21:06Speaker 3: already has a car, she already has a house. Is
- 21:09Speaker 3: that true, probably has a very good job. And so
- 21:14Speaker 3: when you come that dependency mindset. Maybe for instance, in
- 21:20Speaker 3: time past, you know, women had to wait exclusively for
- 21:24Speaker 3: a man. If he did not give her ten nights,
- 21:26Speaker 3: she would not eat. Now a woman is the CEO
- 21:28Speaker 3: of a bank and she's married to the man. So
- 21:31Speaker 3: obviously things have changed. Are you getting the point now?
- 21:38Speaker 3: And many of us are already on our way to
- 21:40Speaker 3: a lot of confusion. In time past, for instance, when
- 21:44Speaker 3: a guy wanted to ask a lady out, there's no
- 21:47Speaker 3: Western diplomacy. You walk straight to her and say, I
- 21:50Speaker 3: want you to be my wife. Pray about it. That
- 21:53Speaker 3: was the end of it. You try that today and
- 21:56Speaker 3: see how it will hurt you in a way you
- 21:57Speaker 3: would never recover from. See that. Now, a man, listen, listen,
- 22:02Speaker 3: he got his wife that way, and now he teaches you.
- 22:07Speaker 3: He says, look, stand up and take steps, walk up
- 22:10Speaker 3: to the lady and speak. The Bible says, open your
- 22:12Speaker 3: mouth and I'll feel it. And you now get up.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Take in nineteen seventy five or nineteen fifty four to
- 22:18Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, and you got meet the lady and said
- 22:21Speaker 3: I want to marry you. I hear you from my place.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Pray about it, get back to me tomorrow. Because there
- 22:27Speaker 3: was there was an arrow guance that men at that
- 22:30Speaker 3: time had a man was a distinguished personality. And you
- 22:34Speaker 3: get that or not. It was a privilege for a
- 22:38Speaker 3: man to walk up to a lady. In fact, there
- 22:40Speaker 3: were certain arrange three marriages that were done at that
- 22:44Speaker 3: time that the first time the lady sees the man,
- 22:47Speaker 3: that's when she's leaving the house. They didn't have any
- 22:50Speaker 3: dating nonsense. They had no restaurant. They just called and said,
- 22:54Speaker 3: how beiget, where are you? This is your husband. And
- 22:56Speaker 3: she rejoiced. She rejoiced because for her was a privilege.
- 23:02Speaker 3: But marriage in the twenty first century has changed. You
- 23:05Speaker 3: take that template. I promise you you can pray all
- 23:07Speaker 3: the tongues you want to pray. You will be in
- 23:10Speaker 3: for a disaster A were ready to fly. Now it's
- 23:16Speaker 3: an advertiser. Alle lujah.
- 23:19Speaker 4: Oh, I have many things to talk about today, my goodness.
- 23:24Speaker 3: So the misconception on the concept of the will of God,
- 23:30Speaker 3: What exactly does the Bible teach about the will of God?
- 23:35Speaker 3: What exactly does the Bible teach I've heard of different concepts.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Concept number one is one man to one woman, right,
- 23:45Speaker 3: what people will want to call the predeterminate counsel of God,
- 23:49Speaker 3: meaning that before you are arrived, your wife had been there,
- 23:52Speaker 3: she had been, she's somewhere around the earth. Your assignment
- 23:57Speaker 3: is not to look for a woman. Your assignment is
- 24:00Speaker 3: whatever channel and means you can afford find that one woman.
- 24:04Speaker 3: And if you do not find out, you miss out
- 24:06Speaker 3: on the will of God. And there have been testimonies
- 24:09Speaker 3: both for or against that concept. The interesting thing about
- 24:13Speaker 3: marriage is any point you raise, whether godly or godly,
- 24:17Speaker 3: there are testimonies to prove its validity. Are you seeing
- 24:20Speaker 3: the confusion now? Any point you raise about marriage, there
- 24:26Speaker 3: are testimonies to prove its validity. That's what makes it very,
- 24:33Speaker 3: very technical, because whatever perspective you look at it, there
- 24:38Speaker 3: are people who will agree with it, and there are
- 24:40Speaker 3: people who will disagree with it, the concept of one
- 24:43Speaker 3: man and one woman. For instance, there are people who
- 24:47Speaker 3: have given us stories that they were minding their business
- 24:51Speaker 3: and they saw effision. That's where the concept of vision
- 24:54Speaker 3: came from. Is that not true? They saw effision the
- 24:57Speaker 3: name of the lady, address and everything, and it happened
- 25:01Speaker 3: exactly as they saw. We have watched on TV and
- 25:06Speaker 3: gone for many conferences. When a man of God can
- 25:09Speaker 3: help a woman decipher certain things and tell her with
- 25:12Speaker 3: accuracy the life partner for her, So that revelation now
- 25:17Speaker 3: brings us to a point where there is even more
- 25:20Speaker 3: confusion in the body of Christ. If a man of
- 25:22Speaker 3: God can tell me exactly the name of my husband,
- 25:25Speaker 3: why bat around the bush? Why not just pay the
- 25:29Speaker 3: price and look for a man of God whose discernment
- 25:32Speaker 3: has been proven to work well and just so into
- 25:35Speaker 3: his life, and let this man please end the confusion
- 25:39Speaker 3: in my life. Allelujah. Let me tell you the danger
- 25:49Speaker 3: of this. It has brought more confusion, especially to singles. Ladies.
- 25:56Speaker 3: Have you seen ten guys come to you and every
- 25:59Speaker 3: one of them told you I had a dream, I
- 26:01Speaker 3: saw a vision. And they're not lying. They're not telling
- 26:05Speaker 3: a lie, are you getting me? I can't tell people
- 26:08Speaker 3: all the time. And you can find multiple guys or
- 26:12Speaker 3: multiple ladies or having a vision or a dream about
- 26:15Speaker 3: the same person, and you may think you're just connie. No, no, no,
- 26:19Speaker 3: no no. Some of them were minding your business. Some
- 26:22Speaker 3: of them have agreepeated dreams and visions for others as
- 26:26Speaker 3: much as fifty or one hundred about the same person.
- 26:30Speaker 3: How do you are you? Am? I blessing you tonight?
- 26:34Speaker 3: And now this innocent brother minding his business has seen
- 26:38Speaker 3: all kinds of visions every time he sleeps. This is
- 26:42Speaker 3: the sister he's seeing. And then the cisar is engaged
- 26:46Speaker 3: and gege to somebody who is born again. And this
- 26:49Speaker 3: guy's confused. He does not know what to call the
- 26:52Speaker 3: name of his situation. Right now? Should I pray for
- 26:55Speaker 3: that relationship to be broken? Should I disagree with my visions?
- 27:00Speaker 3: That nobody is speaking about it on stage? There are
- 27:02Speaker 3: many believers just jumping but carrying loads of confusion and
- 27:07Speaker 3: guessing what they think their way around this relationship thing is.
- 27:11Speaker 3: This is one of the reasons why there is no
- 27:13Speaker 3: marriage in the church. Allelujah. To an extent that many
- 27:24Speaker 3: people today do not even trust their dreams and visions
- 27:27Speaker 3: or any experience. Again, because you had a dream about
- 27:31Speaker 3: Brother A, he married in your very presence. Now the
- 27:34Speaker 3: dream change Brother B. He's getting married next week, and
- 27:37Speaker 3: you justa no, no, no, something is wrong. I know
- 27:39Speaker 3: I'm not demonized, but I know something is wrong. How
- 27:47Speaker 3: many brothers are patiently waiting for some sisters? Now do
- 27:51Speaker 3: you know that some people have even trusted God to
- 27:54Speaker 3: an extent that even when the guy is married, unconsciously
- 27:58Speaker 3: they begin to wish the lady dead because they believe
- 28:00Speaker 3: that that my what is my own is my own.
- 28:08Speaker 3: You go to prophetic ministries and I don't say this
- 28:12Speaker 3: in a critical way, and see the names of brothers
- 28:15Speaker 3: and sisters that fly around the old towns, of men
- 28:18Speaker 3: of God, engaging all kinds of mysteries of restoration, mysteries
- 28:25Speaker 3: of replaining, mysteries of forcing what is your own to
- 28:30Speaker 3: come to you. The Bible says that word is a
- 28:44Speaker 3: like to my feet and a lamp to my part.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. If nobody talks about this,
- 28:50Speaker 3: there will be more confusion in the body of Christ.
- 28:54Speaker 3: You will find ladies in your tatis and your forties
- 28:57Speaker 3: not getting married pretty lady rus lady, but the fear.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Every time a lady wants to entire relationship, she remembers
- 29:06Speaker 3: a prophecy she had. Every time a lady wants too
- 29:09Speaker 3: entire relationships, she just thinks, am I so desperate that
- 29:12Speaker 3: I'm giving up the better now to take the good?
- 29:14Speaker 3: Let me be a little patient, Maybe my change will come.
- 29:20Speaker 3: This has hurt the sisters more. You know why because
- 29:24Speaker 3: the brothers are the ones who do the askking. The
- 29:27Speaker 3: sisters do the positioning, and it's frustrating to position yourself
- 29:32Speaker 3: on the factors that are very ambitious. As a guy,
- 29:36Speaker 3: what's come towards you? Just say, Lord, stop me if
- 29:39Speaker 3: I'm wrong. I'm on my way through it. There are
- 29:43Speaker 3: two ways God can lead you start or stop it.
- 29:48Speaker 3: Can initiate it, or you move and say Lord if
- 29:50Speaker 3: it's against you, or will stop me. But for a lady,
- 29:53Speaker 3: her job is to position herself. Brothers and sisters get
- 29:57Speaker 3: frustrating when you position yourself and you keep position yourself
- 30:02Speaker 3: days fron to weeks to months to years, two decades.
- 30:12Speaker 3: Misconception on the confusion about the will of God and
- 30:15Speaker 3: the perfect match Number two. Second reason why many Christians
- 30:19Speaker 3: remain unmarried, ready on reasonable standards and expectations. On reasonable
- 30:29Speaker 3: standards and expectations either from the guy or from the lady,
- 30:35Speaker 3: or from both of them. The reason why many people
- 30:38Speaker 3: in the body of Christ will remain unmarried for a
- 30:41Speaker 3: long time is what I call a reasonable standards and expectations.
- 30:47Speaker 3: Write it down, please look up now. We are not
- 30:50Speaker 3: against compromising the scriptural standards that God has put. The
- 30:55Speaker 3: Bible is very clear about certain standards that believers should
- 30:58Speaker 3: not compromise. How when the standards become unreasonable, when the
- 31:05Speaker 3: expectations become unreasonable? What are some of those expectations? Un
- 31:10Speaker 3: Reasonable expectations on financial status, unreasonable expectations on levels of establishment,
- 31:22Speaker 3: unreasonable expectation about physical appearances, physique, and etcetera. One of
- 31:34Speaker 3: the reasons why our parents married first was that their
- 31:38Speaker 3: standards were fair enough for anybody to just get married.
- 31:43Speaker 3: But right now, believer us in our big to say, look,
- 31:46Speaker 3: I'm excellent. I'm the head and not the tail. Even
- 31:50Speaker 3: the neck I wouldn't take. I'm the head and not
- 31:52Speaker 3: the tail. You see. So, those those motivational teachings, which
- 31:56Speaker 3: are very important and very good, have brought us to
- 32:01Speaker 3: a point where in a bit to have a discontent
- 32:04Speaker 3: for average we have exaggerated it and lifted bars. Or
- 32:09Speaker 3: There are ladies, for instance, who are fould that they
- 32:12Speaker 3: must marry a millonnere they have sworn between them and
- 32:15Speaker 3: their destiny. No matter what the man is doing, if
- 32:18Speaker 3: he's not a millionnaire, I will not marry him. He
- 32:22Speaker 3: must be born again, and he must be a millennire.
- 32:26Speaker 3: There are guys who are fouled that he must be
- 32:29Speaker 3: a fair lady, or exact lady, or a slim lady.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Right it must be a lady that speaks Queen's English.
- 32:36Speaker 3: It must be a lady that studied the faculty of Arts.
- 32:39Speaker 3: I won't take science, I won't take medicine. People are
- 32:41Speaker 3: that's meticulous? Right now, there are all reason level standards.
- 32:50Speaker 3: The lady I must marry, must be a lady with
- 32:53Speaker 3: an exceptional dress sense, must be a lady who is
- 32:56Speaker 3: the chief, must be a lady who is a prophetess.
- 32:59Speaker 3: Must be a lady who is this and that. And
- 33:01Speaker 3: by the time you are ray all those standards, the
- 33:03Speaker 3: only person who fits those standards is Jesus Christ, Allelujah.
- 33:19Speaker 3: It is God's freaking was how many ladies have harassed
- 33:22Speaker 3: brothers because of financial status. What are you doing this?
- 33:27Speaker 3: How God is helping me? I'm starting Look, look, let
- 33:29Speaker 3: me tell you up front. If God does not help
- 33:32Speaker 3: you faster, I will be on my way. It should
- 33:36Speaker 3: better help you. You need God to be your Beniza first,
- 33:40Speaker 3: because I can't wait. There is a standard. I am
- 33:43Speaker 3: a I am a high maintenance lady. I don't use
- 33:51Speaker 3: we phone less than three thousand or five thousand. My
- 33:54Speaker 3: clothes are designers. Are you willing? And the brother stands
- 33:59Speaker 3: there provide and confused, not knowing what to do with himself.
- 34:04Speaker 3: Now it's okay to love where I hope you're getting
- 34:09Speaker 3: the message. So financial status one of the biggest barriers.
- 34:16Speaker 3: How many brothers have gotten into things around godly because
- 34:20Speaker 3: they are trying to match up his standard. It even
- 34:24Speaker 3: gets worse when there are other friends involved in the
- 34:29Speaker 3: relationship who want to tap their share of the national cake.
- 34:33Speaker 3: They said, I helped you, I was part of the
- 34:35Speaker 3: process for this relationship. My own share must come out.
- 34:39Speaker 3: So if you are taking out to mister Biggs, you
- 34:41Speaker 3: are taking four people. Tells you this are my covenant
- 34:45Speaker 3: friends who are church people. What you do to want
- 34:48Speaker 3: you do to all, and you see the pressure financial status,
- 34:57Speaker 3: and then the issue of establishment. Do you have a car?
- 35:00Speaker 9: No?
- 35:01Speaker 3: Do you? What kind of house? Do you have? Rented? All?
- 35:03Speaker 3: Your personal house? Say well, I'm renting somewhere. How many
- 35:07Speaker 3: one bedroom door? Self content?
- 35:09Speaker 9: No?
- 35:09Speaker 3: No, no, no, self content? What happens when my mother comes?
- 35:11Speaker 3: What happens when my sisters come? What happen when look,
- 35:14Speaker 3: I'm a notable person in church? Everybody knows me? What
- 35:17Speaker 3: is all? These were? The extra rooms? Want to embarrass me?
- 35:19Speaker 3: You want to drive us out to the parlor. And
- 35:21Speaker 3: there are all kinds of confusion, and the guy is
- 35:25Speaker 3: now wondering, well, I rented this house seventy thousand, but
- 35:28Speaker 3: right now as it is to be able to get
- 35:30Speaker 3: your three bedroom flat to be almost maybe seven hundred
- 35:32Speaker 3: thousand or five hundred thousand. And the ladies said me, oh,
- 35:35Speaker 3: I'm not ready for anything or reasonable standards. Make sure
- 35:43Speaker 3: as I speak, you'll be looking at yourself in this message.
- 35:48Speaker 3: Then physical appearance, brothers, brothers, physical appearance. There's no lady,
- 35:59Speaker 3: does they No, she must be these, she must be that,
- 36:03Speaker 3: her eyelashes must laugh. The coverage almost be meticulous. Oh,
- 36:08Speaker 3: come on, I'm a young man. How old you think
- 36:09Speaker 3: I am one hundred? Yes, she must be these, she
- 36:15Speaker 3: go eight, she go whatever, and all of that. She's
- 36:18Speaker 3: a lady. That where she's smiling. I want to sleep bracted.
- 36:22Speaker 3: I don't see what what looks like my own I
- 36:24Speaker 3: already have bad the addition, if I you see, let
- 36:28Speaker 3: me tell you listen, listen. There's nothing wrong in desiring
- 36:32Speaker 3: all these wonderful things, except that the Bible does not
- 36:35Speaker 3: leave us in confusion as to the fact that these things,
- 36:38Speaker 3: no matter how great, will say the time I do
- 36:42Speaker 3: hear what I'm saying. So there are many brothers who
- 36:48Speaker 3: will never get married to a lady because they think
- 36:50Speaker 3: they have a reasonable stand. That's tim I have watched
- 36:54Speaker 3: this with my own eyes. I've watched it fut threshold
- 36:57Speaker 3: on ladies. I've seen ladies on the pressure because now
- 37:03Speaker 3: that they are aware that many Christian brothers seem to
- 37:06Speaker 3: have stepped the back to the sky. They are so
- 37:08Speaker 3: physically conscious. Even in church opay your mountain pray, and
- 37:14Speaker 3: you're talking about something a destiny out in prayer, and
- 37:18Speaker 3: you watch the where the ladies' pray because somehow in
- 37:20Speaker 3: her mind she is aware that somebody is looking at her.
- 37:25Speaker 3: Once your face is rough, even if it's temporary, you're
- 37:28Speaker 3: in a horny to adjust it. That player, your powder
- 37:30Speaker 3: and all of that. You see that over consciousness of
- 37:35Speaker 3: the physical appearance has destroyed a lot of people. There
- 37:38Speaker 3: are people who cannot go to certain churches because they
- 37:42Speaker 3: think they do not fit to the physical mode. I
- 37:45Speaker 3: don't have the clothes, I don't think I have this.
- 37:47Speaker 3: And that second reason why we don't marry un reasonable
- 37:54Speaker 3: standards and expectations. Let's hurry up number three, difficulty in
- 38:03Speaker 3: early establishment. Write it down and I'll explain difficulty in
- 38:10Speaker 3: early establishment. This is an African predicament. Sadly, the continent
- 38:18Speaker 3: of Africa has produced a lot of delay in marriage
- 38:23Speaker 3: because in Africa as a continent and Nigeria, there is difficulty.
- 38:29Speaker 3: The average young man cannot guarantee that within the first
- 38:33Speaker 3: twenty five years of his life he will be established.
- 38:36Speaker 3: When there are strikes in an institution, somebody goes for
- 38:39Speaker 3: a cause of four years and ends up spending five years,
- 38:44Speaker 3: six years, seven years? Is that true? And then you're
- 38:49Speaker 3: supposed to probably go for service, and then it is
- 38:52Speaker 3: prolonged until layed. All of these institutional factors have contributed
- 38:57Speaker 3: to making it difficult for young people to get established.
- 39:02Speaker 3: And then the high unemployment rates. Out of a set
- 39:07Speaker 3: of graduates maybe one million, less than one hundred thousand
- 39:11Speaker 3: of them are guaranteed to get very percent jobs within
- 39:15Speaker 3: the first three years, and because the product is not
- 39:20Speaker 3: a te it becomes very difficult, very difficult to be established.
- 39:28Speaker 3: The fourth salary structure in Nigeria has accounted for the
- 39:33Speaker 3: late establishment of many people. It's God speaking towards tonight.
- 39:40Speaker 3: An average graduate in Nigeria can be so humiliated to
- 39:44Speaker 3: an extent. There are master's people collecting salaries of less
- 39:49Speaker 3: than twenty thousand, fifteen thousand. There are master's olders doing
- 39:54Speaker 3: security works at the gates because they are desperate. They
- 39:58Speaker 3: have to make ends meet Hallelujah, and so someone pays
- 40:05Speaker 3: the price, goes to school, learns graduates to all the
- 40:10Speaker 3: records of the six three three four system. Only for
- 40:14Speaker 3: you to face a poor salary structure. Look at me
- 40:19Speaker 3: with twenty thousand. Let's use an average job. Let's say
- 40:24Speaker 3: a teacher with twenty thousand. In how many years will
- 40:30Speaker 3: you ever know what establishment is? Assuming you got a
- 40:34Speaker 3: job immediately. Twenty thousand times twelve is what help me
- 40:39Speaker 3: please two hundred and forty. Multiply that times ten years.
- 40:44Speaker 3: If nothing changes two point four million. What is the
- 40:50Speaker 3: average project for establishments? Do a little mathematics on your head.
- 40:57Speaker 3: If you get it self contented as a young man,
- 41:00Speaker 3: or a single bedroom or two bedroom flats, and God
- 41:03Speaker 3: helps you, you are dreaming of getting a little car,
- 41:05Speaker 3: no matter how little, equipping the house with everything, you
- 41:09Speaker 3: find out that that money will barely feed you. And
- 41:12Speaker 3: in Africa, the average young man has some siblings depending
- 41:16Speaker 3: on him. Right if it's a polygamous family, you still
- 41:20Speaker 3: have step brothers and stepsisters. May God help you that
- 41:23Speaker 3: you're not the first song. Add that responsibility. And then
- 41:28Speaker 3: the lady you want to get married too, if she
- 41:30Speaker 3: comes from a family that are really trusting God for
- 41:32Speaker 3: a savior, and you come in before any talk of marriage,
- 41:36Speaker 3: it starts your response. You keep right away to your responsibility.
- 41:41Speaker 3: So add all these factors together. District culty in settling
- 41:46Speaker 3: down we have even for those who want to start businesses.
- 41:54Speaker 3: We have very strict business policies in Nigeria. For instance,
- 41:58Speaker 3: in London and England and every other part like that
- 42:03Speaker 3: parts of Britain, you can register a company in ten minutes.
- 42:08Speaker 3: How many minutes ten minutes, you can naturally go online
- 42:12Speaker 3: and register a company in ten minutes. In Nigeria, you
- 42:16Speaker 3: try to register a company, you will first spend between
- 42:19Speaker 3: sixty to one hundred and fifty thousand right for an
- 42:23Speaker 3: average small size company, and it will take you at
- 42:26Speaker 3: least two to three months. Think about the difficulty. So
- 42:31Speaker 3: it is difficult for the average young man who wants
- 42:35Speaker 3: to work in the dignity of kingdom integrity to be established.
- 42:39Speaker 3: So in Nigeria you find a young man thirty years,
- 42:42Speaker 3: thirty five, even forty years still in his father's house,
- 42:47Speaker 3: not necessarily because he's not responsible and he went to school.
- 42:51Speaker 3: But the times, ah, it's God helping us tonight. The
- 43:00Speaker 3: fourth reason why men in the body of Christ remain
- 43:03Speaker 3: unmarried and may happen like that for a long time.
- 43:09Speaker 3: Are you ready for a point number? What now? Four?
- 43:12Speaker 3: Parental influences on godly parental influences. On godly parental influences.
- 43:25Speaker 3: There are godly parental influences. We're parents guide their children,
- 43:30Speaker 3: guide their children to make right decisions, guide their children
- 43:34Speaker 3: to be established. But it's unfortunate that in Africa and
- 43:38Speaker 3: especially in Nigeria, there are very very work and on
- 43:42Speaker 3: godly parental influences that have stopped people from getting married.
- 43:47Speaker 3: Influences ranging from cultural barriers to high and unreasonable marriage requirements,
- 43:56Speaker 3: and then the influences of parents and family even after married.
- 44:02Speaker 3: See that there are many parents who have stopped their children,
- 44:12Speaker 3: for instance, from settling down because they have created certain standards.
- 44:19Speaker 3: How many of you sit there here looking at me.
- 44:21Speaker 3: Your parents have worn you directly or indirectly. Don't ever
- 44:24Speaker 3: bring a poor man in this house. There are some
- 44:27Speaker 3: of you that carry the map of Nigeria and showed
- 44:29Speaker 3: you very clearly and said every state I'm matched x on,
- 44:33Speaker 3: don't bring any guy from there? Is that true? And
- 44:38Speaker 3: so the lady is there, and all she's doing is
- 44:41Speaker 3: looking for someone from her place, And twenty five rolls around,
- 44:45Speaker 3: fifty or thirty years thirty five and she's still searching
- 44:49Speaker 3: for a godly brother. Don't forget, she's not just searching
- 44:52Speaker 3: for anybody. There are parents who are so desperate about
- 44:56Speaker 3: marrying from their place, they don't care whether he's bonnykin
- 44:59Speaker 3: or not. You would rather marry a failure from your place.
- 45:03Speaker 3: So that those culture barriers in fact there are families
- 45:07Speaker 3: where even from your place you don't marry, there is
- 45:10Speaker 3: a clan their drowning line for you. Is that true.
- 45:17Speaker 3: The reason why it was very easy for many parents
- 45:20Speaker 3: is because during their time listen carefully. During their time,
- 45:25Speaker 3: we did not have the issue of migration and movement
- 45:28Speaker 3: from one place to the other. An average man can
- 45:31Speaker 3: be born and bred and grow up and die within
- 45:34Speaker 3: a locality like Sariah and never even visit a place
- 45:37Speaker 3: like a Butcher. Is that true? And so because of
- 45:40Speaker 3: that they live what we call a communion life. All
- 45:43Speaker 3: the ladies will go to the stream together to fresh water,
- 45:47Speaker 3: or go to bath together. And so it was easy.
- 45:49Speaker 3: The guys knew where to go and look for the ladies.
- 45:52Speaker 3: They knew that when it was evening, they had traditional dances.
- 45:55Speaker 3: They had all kinds of platforms that brought them together.
- 45:59Speaker 3: But the world in the twenty first century has changed.
- 46:02Speaker 3: Many of you have never been to your village. You
- 46:05Speaker 3: don't even know where it is. You only have had
- 46:07Speaker 3: the name of seeing it on TV. Some of us
- 46:10Speaker 3: have never gone to our village. And now they're amounting
- 46:14Speaker 3: pressure on you. Come home, will prepare lady for you?
- 46:17Speaker 3: And I say, what are you saying? They said, that's
- 46:19Speaker 3: that's how, that's how your father and I got married. Unfortunately,
- 46:24Speaker 3: this is very strong, especially among the mothers. It's God
- 46:29Speaker 3: helping us and so there are many Christians confused. How
- 46:32Speaker 3: many believers are in godly relationships, godly relationships by God's standards,
- 46:39Speaker 3: but do not have the courage to even talk to
- 46:41Speaker 3: your parents because the moment they say, mommy or daddy,
- 46:44Speaker 3: there's something I want to tell you, they say, what
- 46:46Speaker 3: is it? They say, I want to talk about marriage.
- 46:48Speaker 3: He say, he let me even before we heard it. Nonsense.
- 46:51Speaker 3: You have to tell me. Does the guy have the car? Yes?
- 46:54Speaker 3: Or no? No? Long story, not he's going to buy?
- 46:58Speaker 3: Don't see how the car? Yes? No. Parents have stopped
- 47:01Speaker 3: children from marrying because of car. Parents have stopped children
- 47:05Speaker 3: from marrying. How many parents have stopped children from marrying
- 47:09Speaker 3: because they say, if you must marry this guy, he
- 47:12Speaker 3: must be willing to come and live in Abuja or
- 47:14Speaker 3: live in Legos, or come and stay close towards Have
- 47:17Speaker 3: you seen people like that? Maybe he is a lecturer
- 47:22Speaker 3: in Yola or lecturer in Gombe State, or Inzaria or
- 47:25Speaker 3: in Cano. They say, I don't want to hear anything.
- 47:28Speaker 3: If you will come to Legos, or you will come
- 47:31Speaker 3: to Portacods and settle there, then I can allow him.
- 47:34Speaker 3: I consider that to be the height of self centeredness
- 47:38Speaker 3: and at extreme levels wickedness. Many parents, I'm sorry to
- 47:42Speaker 3: say this, but I say this without apology, that there
- 47:45Speaker 3: are so many parents who have not followed the part
- 47:48Speaker 3: of success in their lives, and they have failed and
- 47:50Speaker 3: are now using their children as a restoration tool. Many
- 47:54Speaker 3: parents have yoke their ladies and said, look, you know
- 47:57Speaker 3: we have suffered. You better go and bring them Mary
- 48:00Speaker 3: the wipe hartis mommy. There are two guys who are
- 48:07Speaker 3: standing saying, hey, the first guy loves God, and you
- 48:10Speaker 3: find the mother not interested in what the daughter is saying.
- 48:13Speaker 3: He loves God. He's very serious. In fact, the way
- 48:16Speaker 3: he's going to looks like the ordain him, and the
- 48:18Speaker 3: mother is looking that Dad ordain him just irritates her
- 48:21Speaker 3: because now it means that he's going into ministry. There's
- 48:27Speaker 3: one other one. He's not serious. It's non nice, but
- 48:31Speaker 3: God he held me. He is working there around there,
- 48:34Speaker 3: they say, a place where he's working. He's getting good salary.
- 48:37Speaker 3: He says, So who are you choosing now? He honestly
- 48:40Speaker 3: me and me Christian. He said, look, leave that. You
- 48:42Speaker 3: know the world has changed. You better go to that brother.
- 48:45Speaker 3: And then how many children cost their parents in their
- 48:49Speaker 3: homes cost their parents. How many mothers and fathers carry
- 48:54Speaker 3: kills all around because whenever the man beats up the
- 48:57Speaker 3: woman because of nothing the Lord, they come back home
- 49:02Speaker 3: and the parents say, just go back. It's like that
- 49:08Speaker 3: and godly parental influences. Others have influenced their children because
- 49:14Speaker 3: of their ego. They have a capattle of people and
- 49:17Speaker 3: all their friends their children married wealthy people. Is that true?
- 49:22Speaker 3: And so when you come this is especially for many
- 49:25Speaker 3: of us, the ladies, they just feel uncle so so
- 49:29Speaker 3: so his son married the senator's son and it is
- 49:32Speaker 3: his son came from UK. I have watched with shock
- 49:37Speaker 3: the way arrange has been done on the internet. Parents
- 49:42Speaker 3: go all out of their way to make arrangements. They say,
- 49:46Speaker 3: there is a guy in France, as he's coming into Nigeria,
- 49:49Speaker 3: he's coming to marry all these dowdy thing people shout about.
- 49:53Speaker 3: That guy just knows dowdy was faith. He's not even
- 49:55Speaker 3: aware of the basket. You has never seen the box
- 49:58Speaker 3: that was given. But simply because he's in France. He
- 50:02Speaker 3: came into Nigeria, carried the wife in two weeks to card.
- 50:04Speaker 3: They never saw their daughter again, only to get to
- 50:08Speaker 3: France and they found out that the guy was a
- 50:10Speaker 3: drug baron. But he lied to them that was a CEO.
- 50:24Speaker 3: How about on reasonable marriage requirements? You paid dowry in
- 50:32Speaker 3: cash one hundred thousand in kind one million? Are you
- 50:38Speaker 3: saying that kind of thing on reasonable requirements? Uncles and
- 50:43Speaker 3: aunties and well wishers that never gave you ten nights
- 50:47Speaker 3: when you were in school, Now that you have done,
- 50:49Speaker 3: they're coming as stakeholders and they dominate everything. Say we
- 50:54Speaker 3: allowed daughter married. Chie. You are going to bring a cow,
- 50:59Speaker 3: and that cow is not just any kind of cow.
- 51:02Speaker 3: The cow must be this and that. After that, you're
- 51:05Speaker 3: going to bring two trucks of yam. After that you're
- 51:14Speaker 3: going to bring ABC. And the guy's shaking dere. The
- 51:18Speaker 3: guy's wondering, how much is the budget for an average
- 51:21Speaker 3: marriage right now in Nigeria. I'm talking of it dissent marriage.
- 51:26Speaker 3: You wouldn't imagine how much is to rent where forty
- 51:32Speaker 3: or fifty people from your village are coming. How much
- 51:35Speaker 3: is to rent that place? And feed them. And many
- 51:38Speaker 3: come after the marriage. They will never go back. They'll
- 51:41Speaker 3: say one to wait one week and see what is
- 51:43Speaker 3: going on, and all through that one week you are paying.
- 51:46Speaker 3: These are very real issues. So a young man saves
- 51:51Speaker 3: money to start up life after marriage, that's his home
- 51:55Speaker 3: with death, and then in anger he now starts beating
- 52:02Speaker 3: the wife. I just see that now, because if the
- 52:05Speaker 3: wife shouts at him, he said, I bought you. I
- 52:07Speaker 3: didn't pay doubting for you. I literally purchased you. So
- 52:11Speaker 3: don't I will open your mouth and shout. If I
- 52:14Speaker 3: bring you a comcubine in this house, just go out quietly.
- 52:17Speaker 3: Don't even tell me anything. Many issues were pretending in
- 52:22Speaker 3: church that are not serious issues, and it's increasing increasing.
- 52:31Speaker 3: There are many parents that put pressure on your children.
- 52:35Speaker 3: Look this our marriage and ambassador is coming from UK,
- 52:39Speaker 3: a governor is coming from adam Awa State. Our uncle
- 52:44Speaker 3: who is in Jerusalem is coming in. So make sure
- 52:47Speaker 3: that you organize the marriage to the test of the
- 52:50Speaker 3: dignities that are coming. And the young man is saying, look,
- 52:53Speaker 3: I'm starting out small. He said, mister man, we are
- 52:55Speaker 3: telling you now. He's not an advice. You either choose
- 52:58Speaker 3: the lady or leave everything. But the Lord of Sabello
- 53:03Speaker 3: is watching. Let me tell you because many of the
- 53:06Speaker 3: parents who are talking like that, they could not buy
- 53:08Speaker 3: one toba of yam when they married our mothers. Is
- 53:12Speaker 3: that true? One to bow of yam? Yeah? The woman
- 53:15Speaker 3: believed in them. She got up thirteen years, fifteen years,
- 53:19Speaker 3: eighteen years, twenty years and naively followed that man. And
- 53:23Speaker 3: for ten years of their marriage, who was in hell,
- 53:26Speaker 3: she watched him go to school and become blessed. And
- 53:29Speaker 3: today now he can stand and forget what God did
- 53:33Speaker 3: for him. How many parents forget? One of our mothers
- 53:39Speaker 3: in Legos. I remember one time she was talking to
- 53:42Speaker 3: us who went for a program and then they're very
- 53:45Speaker 3: wealthy people, very comfortable and very wealthy. And she was
- 53:48Speaker 3: talking and she was saying, when it was time to
- 53:50Speaker 3: get married, there was one other man who seemed to
- 53:54Speaker 3: be more blessed than her husband, and they were influencing her,
- 53:57Speaker 3: and she said, no, this is the man she will married.
- 53:59Speaker 3: And she said she married the husband he had nothing,
- 54:02Speaker 3: although he argued, I said he had a bicycle, but
- 54:05Speaker 3: she said he had nothing. Today they are blessed and
- 54:08Speaker 3: their marriage is heaven. On that many of us ladies
- 54:17Speaker 3: would have married since two thousand and five or six
- 54:21Speaker 3: or seven till now. We are waiting because there are
- 54:25Speaker 3: certain of godly parental influences. That's all real number number
- 54:32Speaker 3: what number five? The fifth reasons why many Christians remain
- 54:42Speaker 3: unmarried is what I call increased breakdown in moral and
- 54:47Speaker 3: spiritual standards. Increased breakdown in moral and spiritual standards. In
- 55:00Speaker 3: increased breakdown in moral and spiritual standards, standards that are
- 55:09Speaker 3: being lowered. Look at me, there are because our generation
- 55:15Speaker 3: are so down created the sacredness of marriage right and morality,
- 55:20Speaker 3: things ranging from premarital affairs right now is okay to
- 55:26Speaker 3: just sleep around. So all of the things that are
- 55:29Speaker 3: supposed to be the blessings and the benefits that should
- 55:33Speaker 3: only be enjoyed within the context of marriage have now
- 55:39Speaker 3: been experienced by people after marriage. So there is no desire,
- 55:43Speaker 3: there is no longing, there's nothing to look forward to
- 55:46Speaker 3: with marriage again, how many people do you know? A
- 55:49Speaker 3: man and a woman not married, Tauri has not been paid,
- 55:53Speaker 3: but they live together. Why should they marry? Are you
- 55:56Speaker 3: guys know what I'm saying? Now? Why should they lady
- 55:59Speaker 3: marry when marriage to tie her to one man, and
- 56:02Speaker 3: then she's permitted to have seven or eight men who
- 56:06Speaker 3: can supply her finances, and now you want to tie
- 56:10Speaker 3: her down to one man. She doesn't want that kind
- 56:13Speaker 3: of thing because she wants liberty and she wants money
- 56:16Speaker 3: to provide it all the time. Why will you want
- 56:19Speaker 3: a man to tie himself to one wife when he
- 56:22Speaker 3: can fly around to any hotel and whoever is available there.
- 56:26Speaker 3: He can have ten girlfriends, twenty girlfriends. So the degradation
- 56:31Speaker 3: in the standard of morality and spirituality is the reason
- 56:35Speaker 3: why many people don't get married. For many people who
- 56:38Speaker 3: marriage is an inconvenience because they want their own guide
- 56:42Speaker 3: dead life of loss. I want to be able to
- 56:46Speaker 3: sleep around anytime. I want to be able to be free.
- 56:49Speaker 3: I don't want to sit down and then I think
- 56:52Speaker 3: that I have a wife and children at home. Many
- 56:55Speaker 3: men want that kind of thing. I don't want no responsibility.
- 57:00Speaker 3: I don't want to look at a lady and my
- 57:02Speaker 3: wife is stapping me and say who are you looking at? No?
- 57:06Speaker 3: Are you seeing that now? So that take gradation in
- 57:11Speaker 3: moral and spiritrust standards. Guys and ladies stay together, for instance, Unfortunately,
- 57:20Speaker 3: sometimes the house belongs to the lady, and then the
- 57:24Speaker 3: man comes as a squatter because she likes him, and
- 57:27Speaker 3: he stays there, eats her food, drives a car, watches
- 57:31Speaker 3: her television, sleeps on her bed, enjoys her cushion, and
- 57:35Speaker 3: the man does not want to get married. Why should
- 57:38Speaker 3: I get married and try to be responsible for a
- 57:40Speaker 3: family when I've gotten a wolf. There is a lady
- 57:43Speaker 3: here who is working with federal godman. She can work
- 57:45Speaker 3: and bring everything. My own is just to be enjoying
- 57:49Speaker 3: the money, the credation in moral and spirit trust standards.
- 57:56Speaker 3: That's created irresponsibility, that's created kinds of things. And then
- 58:02Speaker 3: there have been balanced teachings in the Body of Christ
- 58:05Speaker 3: that have encouraged this kind of living in a bit
- 58:10Speaker 3: to bring the church into the revelation of who we
- 58:13Speaker 3: are in Christ and what Christ has done for us,
- 58:16Speaker 3: and the reality of the fact that were the righteousness
- 58:19Speaker 3: of God in Christ right now, and the concept of
- 58:22Speaker 3: sin and the concept of holiness and righteousness. In an
- 58:25Speaker 3: attempt to balance it properly, there are individuals that have
- 58:30Speaker 3: swung to the other side of the pendulum, and so
- 58:33Speaker 3: people are now authorized that conviction of the Holy Spirit
- 58:37Speaker 3: towards on godliness is no longer there is that true.
- 58:40Speaker 3: So I can do anything I want to do so
- 58:44Speaker 3: long as I run back to God and say, Lord,
- 58:45Speaker 3: you know that I won't do it again. So we
- 58:48Speaker 3: keep playing all these games with ourselves. It's God helping us.
- 58:57Speaker 3: I have identified this as the top five reasons why
- 59:02Speaker 3: many in the Body of Christ may not get married.
- 59:09Speaker 3: Confusion as to the concept of the will of God.
- 59:16Speaker 3: People have spiritualized that concept of the will of God
- 59:19Speaker 3: to their detriment, and then on reasonable standards, then difficulty
- 59:25Speaker 3: in early establishment, then on godly parental influences, and increase
- 59:31Speaker 3: breakdown in moral and spiritual standards. Now I want to
- 59:36Speaker 3: teach you something there. There has been confusion in the
- 59:48Speaker 3: subject of marriage, especially trying to learn what the Bible
- 59:52Speaker 3: says and what the pathway, the biblical pathway to marriage
- 59:57Speaker 3: should be. Questions like at w what age should a
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: guy get married or a lady get married? Right? Questions
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: like what are the dos and don't how do I
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: know I am prepared for marriage? Is it when you
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: graduate from an institution or is it when you see
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: bared on your face? Or ladies, is it when all
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: the friends around your circle of influence start getting married.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: You now felishes signed. What exactly are some of the
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: provisions that the Bible puts for us to prepare us
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: to know that we are prepared for marriage. Write it down,
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: School of Ministry, Permit me to use a bit of
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: your lecture and teach tonight. I thought the School of
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: Ministry yesterday, and I'll take a little extrap on what
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: I taught them to be able to guide us. There
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: are three dimensions everyone, right. There are three dimensions that
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: a man must find himself operating in to know he
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: is ready for marriage. And there are three dimensions that
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: a woman must find ourself operating in. If you are
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: not operating in these dimensions, you are simply not ready
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: for marriage. Doesn't matter how old or young you are.
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: Write this down and I'll explain it very quickly. The
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: three dimensions in a man are number one as a husband,
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: Number two as a father, open bracket, provider and protect or.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: Please write it down. The first dimension that a man
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: must train himself in to be prepared for marriage is
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: as a husband, second as a father, and then number
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: three as the spiritual head or the priest of a home.
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: Write down for the lady. The first dimension a wife,
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: second dimension a mother putting bracket, a homemaker, and then
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: the third dimension a minister. Please look up while I
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: attempt to explain this point, let me have three guys, Please,
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: three gentlemen, come, Sam, any two guys can come. Just
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: stand here. It's in the character of God, Thank Jesus.
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: It's in the character of God. Look up to operate
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: in a multifaceted dimension. For instance, we see God operating
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: as rapha. We see God operating as sickn Now we
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: see God operating as Savello. Right. We also see him
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: in redemption, operating us both the lion and the lamb.
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: So it's not unusual for God to be multifaceted in
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: his operation, and he created man in that image. And
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: so for any man to really know that he's prepared
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: and ready for marriage. Graduation is not enough reason for
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: you to think you are prepared for marriage. Advancement in
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: age is not enough reason for you to think you
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: are prepared in marriage. Now all the brothers look up,
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: and sisters also look up. There are three dimensions in
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: every man. Let's call the first dimension husband, call the
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: second dimension the father, and call the third dimension the
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: spiritual head. Is that all right? The dimension of a
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: man as a husband defines the scope of his ministry
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: to his wife. It's important for every man to understand
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: that scripturally, you have a ministry that is exclusive to
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: your wife. And if you have not trained yourself to
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: be able to carry out that ministry to your wife effectively,
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: you will never be able to get married and you
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: will never enjoy your marriage. The dimension of a man
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: as a husband defines everything. His intimacy with his wife,
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: defines meeting her emotional needs, define meeting her psychological needs.
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: All of that together defines the role of that man
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: as a hosban man. Watch this. The danger with this
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: is that many in our society are not husbands. They
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: may be furthers, they may be men of God. And
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: I appreciate this with it by us to those in ministry.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: Many pastors are poor husbands, Many leaders are poor husbands.
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: Because we are busy trying to fend for the family.
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: We are busy trying to do ministry and do this
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: and that, and we forget that there is an exclusive
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: role ordained by God that a man should play to
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: his wife. How many of our mothers are starved of
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: the love of the attention the togetherness, the emotional satisfaction
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: that should come on account of complete marriage. There are
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: many pastors, many businessmen, many church leaders, many entrepreneurs, many
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: public figures and celebrities who are staffing their wives of
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: this dimension. Every brother here, I want you to know
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: that if you are preparing for marriage, you are also
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: preparing to be a husband or the brothers a husband. Yes,
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: you must. You are not a husband. When a wife
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: comes to you, you are a husband when you are
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: prepared to meet that need. Don't wait for marriage to
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: make you a husband. You are first their husband before marriage.
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: At the point where you are aware of the demands,
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: this dimension trains you to understand who a woman is.
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: Women are fragile, women are emotional people. The Bible says
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: to dwell with them according to knowledge. One of the
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: greatest ministry of a man at this point is to
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: be able to give his wife what I call emotional security.
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: Watch this, when a man begins to compare the lady
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: is going out with or his wife with another lady.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: The lady you are going out with this standing there
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: and you turn and look at another lady and say,
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: my goodness, what in the world is this? What am
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: I looking at what you are simply telling your lady
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: is you are shot off his standard, and you begin
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: to mount pressure on that lady. Every lady wants to
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: come to the man God has given her and feel secured.
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: It is not a news again that both male and female,
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: we all have assets and liabilities. There is nobody, including myself,
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: who is free of assets and liabilities. There are weaknesses,
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: there are strengths, there's nothing embarrassing about it. Are you
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: getting the point now? So a husband is one who
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: has understood this dimension and will protect his wife emotionally,
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: will protect the lady they are going out with emotionally
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: because he understands that her love for me is a
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: response to the confidence that I give her. How many
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: ladies get angry the moment they begin to see another
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: lady coming around their man. They are angry, They are resentful,
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: They begin to feel insecure because they feel this decise
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: of yourusly final than me. This decise is obvious lydies
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: and that's than me. And because she knows that the
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: man has not created a track record of celebrating her
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: the way she is, she begins to feel insecure. That's
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: what has brought jealousy that's what has brought presumption between ladies,
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: same thing for guys. So, brothers, if you want to
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: be you want to go into marriage, you must realize
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: that you have a responsibility to your wife to protect
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: her emotionally. Protect her emotionally. Women are very vulnerable. The
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: prettiest of all ladies will still need reconfirmations. Forget all
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: that short ladies shad no, I don't need anything in
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: their life. They were designed to work on confirmations, real firmations.
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: How many people are in relationships and never for one.
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: He does not make seeing the lady look like a
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: big deal. He looks like, look, you are easily replaceable
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: at that point, Listen, brothers, if you ever carry any
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: man's daughter and give her an impression she's easily replaceable,
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: you are not being sincere to her. If you don't
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: love her, or you think she's not fine enough, leave
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: her alone. God bring somebody who loves her and will
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: passionately follow her. I hate seeing ladies chasing after guy's helplessly.
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: I said, hey, hey, if I shout, he will leave me,
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: or brother, don't leave me, don't leave me. If you live,
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: where will I go to? And the guy is happy.
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: He's taking advantage of your vulnerability. Brother said, must change
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus Christ, God's waking towards tonight.
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: How many of our fathers, How many of us I've
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: seen our parents, father and mother just take our time
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: from their business do to sit together and talk. When
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: was the last time you ever saw your father and
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: your mother thinking of not restaurant in the home there,
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: just sitting down to eat and talk. If they are together,
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: they're quarrely. He's rebuking her. He's lost the dimension of
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: a husband. Many people think the dimension of a husband
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: is only the three children dimension. So it's the dimension
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: that a man shows a woman until the arrival of children.
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: From the time the woman gets pregnant, the man feels
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: I've graduated from being a husband from now sends forth.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: My work is to be father? Is that not true?
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: And a spiritual head? And so they robbed the wife
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: of that emotional dimension. Number two, You are preparing for marriage,
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: It means you are preparing to be a father. Look up,
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: let me tell you something. You are not a father
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: when you have children. The word father is the Greek
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: word abba, right. The Bible says it's giving his spirits,
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: whereby we cry abba, father, father, father. The word abba
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: means sauce and sustaina, not the one who reproduces children. Necessarily,
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: you are a father when you are the originator of
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: a thing, and you are the sustaina. Speaking in the
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: context of marriage, you only become a father when you
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: are a provider and protector. Write it down. Fatherhood has
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: nothing to do necessarily with giving birth to children. This
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: is where a lot of people get it wrong. The
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: moment they have a bouncing baby boy or a bouncing
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: baby Gil or some children, they convince themselves that they
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: are father's nasa. In the Bible, the Bible's few of fatherhood. Listen,
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: the Bible's view of fatherhood is not just reproduction alone,
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: is the ability to provide and protect. Here's what the
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: Bible says about being a father. First Demotit chapter five,
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: verse eight. The Bible says, prophrashing that any man that
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: cannot provide protect get up for his family. It says
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: that he has lost the faith. He has given up
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: the faith and is worse than an infidel or an unbeliever. Brothers,
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: this is a very serious point, and I want you
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: to pay attention whether you are married or you are
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: preparing for marriage. As to yourself, am I a father?
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: You don't become a father when you get married. You
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: get married because you are a father. Many men are
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: not fathers. The hallmark of fatherhood is responsibility, the ability
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: to provide and protect. It says, but if any provide,
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: not for his own So are you a father? Brothers,
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: ask yourself, I want to marry. The question God is
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: asking you is are you a father? It's not enough
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: to be a husband, you must be a father. You
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: will have to provide the conducive atmosphere. Provide love, Provide food,
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: Provide shelter, Provide security, Provide the enabling environment for your
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: wife and your children to find expression. Provide spiritual guidance,
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: Provide mentor sheep. You have to protect your family right,
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: protect them against the physical hazards, protect them against the
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: emotional intrusions of society. That's what it means to be
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: upper upper. So in our generation, when a man is
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: married and does not have children, we say he's a husband,
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: but not yet a father. The moment the wife gives
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: bread with say finally, I'm now a father. Wrong. So
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: siightally correct, but scripturally wrong fatherhood is about provision and protection.
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: No gentleman should get into marriage when you are not
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: a father. You are not a father by your age.
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: You are not a father just by longevity of time.
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: You're not a father by the appearance of many children.
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: When are spiritual or physical. You are a father according
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: to your ability to provide. Everybody as a gentleman close
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: to you, Are you a father? Don't answer. I am mature,
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: I'm not a small boy. Nobody's arguing. We know you
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: are thirty five. Are you a father? That's what you
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: want to know tonight. Are you a father? I was
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: born nineties. Uh, we're not actively. Are you a father?
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: You neglect fatherhood when you become irresponsible. All the brothers say,
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus, I received grace to be
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: a father. Indeed, said loud, in the name of Jesus,
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: I received grace to provide for my family and to
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: protect my family. Say it again, I received grace to
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: provide for my family and to protect my family. And
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: it starts with your relationship. Show me how you provide
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: for her and show me how you protect her. I'm
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: not just talking of finances. Necessarily, show me your attitude
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: towards responsibility. I can't this learn your non challenge about life,
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: non challenge about people. How many gentlemen do not have
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: this fatherhood consciousness. Let me tell you. When a guy
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: begins to have a fatherhood consciousness, he will travel and
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: go on a trick. Every time he's returning, he's thinking,
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: there are people in my house, or there are roommates
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: that I have. What can I buy for them? Even
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: if it's as little as she's balls. That's fatherhood, a
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: sense of responsibility. Self centeredness is dying. You know that
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: it's not about me alone. You are satisfied when people
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: drink from your grace, drink from your finances, You are
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: becoming a father. How many of us travel for for
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: five months, five weeks, You come back and the only
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: thing is the same box. You won't be guys? Are
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: you there? I don't missing a guy? Now? Wow? Are
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: you jet? Everybody? And you see all of them hungry?
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: Say never job and you're just watching. You're not a father,
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: you're a friend. When you call god father, you are
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: not just calling god father because you are his son
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: or his daughter. You are calling god Father because as
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: your father, he has made it a point of duty
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: to provide for you and to protect you. He provided salvation,
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: He secure that salvation today. He has provided a platform
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: for you to be a part take out his divine nature.
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: He has provided a platform for you to enjoy the
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: life that so away life here on earth. That's what
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: makes him a father. Many men deceive themselves thinking because
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: they have the ability to produce babies, or they have
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: produced babies, they are fathers. Fatherhood is not just about reproduction.
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: Father who is about responsibility. So, brothers, God is asking
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: you tonight are you a father? You can train yourself
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: into father. You can know that you are a father.
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: You are not a father when you marry. You get
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: married because you believe you are a father. Now, when
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: you understand this, you will never go carry any man's
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: daughter to get married to her. When you know that
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: there is no means for you to eat, you are
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: not a father. At that point, the lady does not
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: have to start asking you where are we going to
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: eat food? How is money going to come? Because if
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: you are truo lear a father, you would have made
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: that factor. You would have facted in as part of
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: your marriage and relationship responsibilities that I am upper provider protector.
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: God' speaking to us tonight. The third dimension for any
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: gentleman preparing for marriage, the third dimension is as the priest.
- 1:17:54Speaker 3: Every man is instituted by God to be the spiritual
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: head of his home. Ladies, that's why it is important
- 1:18:01Speaker 3: and paramount that you must not compromise on the issue
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: of marrying somebody who loves God. Our parents made that mistake.
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: Many young people who are not exposed to this truth
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: have made the mistake. But now you have an opportunity.
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: It matters because according to God is the spiritual head
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: God bird Adam, and some must be responsible. It's his
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: spiritual head. Ive came out of Adam. Everybody looks onto
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: its source. According to God's or gandogram. For family, the
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: woman and her children should look up to the man
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: for spiritual support. The man should be the initiator of
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: Bible studies. He should be the one to teach the
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: children on Titan. He should enforce discipline, he should enforce love. Unfortunately,
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: that's not what we have in many societies, is the
- 1:18:58Speaker 3: woman who is trying to get the family to be spiritual.
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: Because there are forces of darkness and they are real.
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: Are you hearing what I'm saying children should be able
- 1:19:10Speaker 3: to come to the parlor and see their father lie
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: down and just worshiping and playing worship and just rolling
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: on the floor and giving God praise. I was teaching
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: the school of ministry students yesterday. Did you know that
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: the moment you begin to carry out your pristly responsibility
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: soon now later your son or daughter will start copying.
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: Have you seen children do that? That you see a
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: father kneel down, very soon you see the child too
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: come and kneel down. How many men do you know
- 1:19:38Speaker 3: have taken on your prisonly responsibility? That while everybody is
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: slipping at home, you now hear the voice of the
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: priest shake room, to whom laying hands on the wife
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: and children. Manto, these are my children, this is my family.
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: I bring them under the grace, under the prophetic company.
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: Say tan, you have no hand over my wife, over
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: my children. That's what it means to be a spiritual head.
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: Not that they wake you by seven and say honey.
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: Bible Store describes say the day you wake me, then
- 1:20:11Speaker 3: I swear to God I will love you. Don't play
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: with me, please were not mate. You are here eating.
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: You don't know how I'm bringing the food, spiritual head,
- 1:20:22Speaker 3: spiritual head. Every man must take position, and it starts
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: from the relationship. Is that from the relationship? You must
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: take position? Now, it's okay, let's be very since here.
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: There are times when you can enter a relationship with
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: the lady with more spiritual than you. Are you willing
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: to catch up? Are you willing to grow? That seed
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: of willingness is what we're looking for. You may not
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: be like that as at the time you're in the
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: relationship or even marriage, but do you stand the seed?
- 1:20:52Speaker 3: Sweed Wiggle's word. When they got married, his wife was
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: more spiritual than him. He was a coupler, but he
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: was able to catch up and it became their partle
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: of faith. How many people have allowed demons to drive
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: their home sin to pieces. Your wife is pregnant, that's
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: the time to lay hands on her womb and profess high.
- 1:21:16Speaker 3: When she keeps beat in the hospital, you should be
- 1:21:18Speaker 3: the first to hold the baby. Alie, anybody just come
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: from anywhere and soil the destiny of your child. And
- 1:21:25Speaker 3: then you just come too late and you are starting here.
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: Why is the baby be? You should be there. You
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: hold the baby and profess high like Anna the prophetess
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: and see me on the prophet You hold your child
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: and speaking to his destiny. Whenever evil is going on
- 1:21:43Speaker 3: in the family, your life and your ministry is turning
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: upside down, you take your regally of her husband and
- 1:21:49Speaker 3: put it aside. You take your regally of your father
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: and put it aside. And where your prophetic and apostolic group,
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: and tell the devil, I'm not just a hosband, I'm
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: not an earless man. And you tell all your children
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: just leave me. I know this force is going and sleep,
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: and they hear your voice. Shake, get take the kata
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: manaa kata. That's man who brothers and sisters, that's been
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: a man. You take the spiritual atmosphere. You move out
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: with pockets of water oil and anointing oil around the
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: land and breadth of your house, and you are prophesying,
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: commanding the forces of darkness to vow your child brings
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: the result. And you find out that the result is
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: not motivating. You lay hands on him and say you
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: are my son. Everyone looks like his sauce. I lay
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: my hands on you not to get care and start
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: frouding him and playing bold with your child because he's
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: embarrassing you. Let me tell you the world that we
- 1:22:47Speaker 3: live in is no longer the world of physical strength,
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: is the world of spiritual capacity. He may be a bubble,
- 1:22:55Speaker 3: or let him be a man of God. Are you
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: garny what I'm saying? Because if they will concheens will
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: not save you, for those sets will not drive demons.
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: It is on the strength of the understanding of mysteries.
- 1:23:08Speaker 3: Have you seen families where sickness just breaks out mode, sick,
- 1:23:13Speaker 3: broad eyes, sick fad I see, and you see the
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: man running confused. He has not learned the mysteries. That's
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: the time for him to get convenion and say, my wife,
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: prepare convenion. Man takatata. And he lays hands on it
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: and said, by this tree, the Bible says, the spirits,
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: the water and the blood. And you minister covenion to
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: your family. Brother, as I challenge you, make your home
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: like this. It is within your power to make it so.
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: It may not be so for ladies because they submit
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: to a man. You are not submitting to anybody in
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: the home. That means your home. It is a reflection
- 1:23:50Speaker 3: of whether you pay attention to what I'm jeering tonight,
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: I've made up my mind that my home will be
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: exactly what I will tell you. I must take on
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: my pristly position. Only men have allowed the devil to
- 1:24:02Speaker 3: ride through their families and wreck and destroy their homes.
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: The Bible says, occupy you occupy through dominion, dominion, dominion.
- 1:24:16Speaker 3: Your wife gives birth to two or three children, and
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: you're expecting more, and it looks like the devil has
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: closed off her womb and all of that, and you
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: are just You're just smiling and saying, don't worry, it
- 1:24:26Speaker 3: will have for what are you saying? Get angry one
- 1:24:30Speaker 3: night and while she's sleeping, you just come and sit
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: by the side of her bed, and when she wakes up, No, no, no,
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: you just continue sleeping. I know what I'm doing. I
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: come in the spirit of Eli, and you're speaking and prophesying.
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: Let me tell you there is no woman I know
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: who will not want that kind of man by her side.
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: A man, ladies, am I speaking to you? Guys? You
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: think ladies just want money. Let me tell you the truth.
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: Many ladies, especially those who are loving God, know sincerely
- 1:25:02Speaker 3: that it takes more than money. You can have all
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: the money in the whole world, and anything can go wrong.
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: But a man of stature, not a physically mature man,
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: necessarily a man with capacity in the spirit that any
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: spirit that is shlying around the vicility of your family.
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: When he gets you and said, hold on, I know
- 1:25:20Speaker 3: this guy. We know the way he carries in the spirit.
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: When the devil wants to touch your wife and he
- 1:25:27Speaker 3: realizes that she's bearing your son name, he knows that
- 1:25:30Speaker 3: that woman has been implicated. Brothers, when you become a husband,
- 1:25:40Speaker 3: a father, and a minister, you're ready for marriage. Are
- 1:25:45Speaker 3: you getting what I'm saying so right now? While you
- 1:25:48Speaker 3: are sitting some of you are husband's congratlations. Are you
- 1:25:51Speaker 3: a father? Some of you are only priests. Mister man,
- 1:25:55Speaker 3: let me tell you you are not only going to
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: be casting out spirits and devils. H You don't cast
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: out devils every day. Right now, the atmosphere is okay,
- 1:26:04Speaker 3: be a horse fan be Are you guessing what I'm
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: saying now? Let's go to the ladies. Quickly listen now,
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: three ladies, quickly? Oh ya ya yahyah, three ladies, what's
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: your say? Allelujah? Are you enjoying to night's teaching? The
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: first time mentioned sister, open your eyes, your ears and everything.
- 1:26:37Speaker 3: And here the first dimension is as a wife. Don't
- 1:26:40Speaker 3: assume you know what I'm saying. Let me explain. This
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: is a mother, This again is a minister. Now watch this.
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: What does it mean to be a wife? What does
- 1:26:54Speaker 3: it mean to be a wife. Many ladies do not
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: know what it means to be a wife. They think
- 1:26:59Speaker 3: they know a wife just like the husband defines the
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: entire scope of your ministree to your husband, not your
- 1:27:09Speaker 3: husband and your father, not your husband and his family.
- 1:27:13Speaker 3: Under dimension of your wife, your ministree is only to
- 1:27:17Speaker 3: your husband. Let me use this opportunity and challenge many
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: ladies who can keep your men a second place. You
- 1:27:24Speaker 3: love your father, your mother, your brother, your uncle so much.
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: Everything you do to your husband you do to everyone else.
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: You are not a wife. You are not a wife.
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: That dimension of being a wife is a dimension that
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: creates an office for the man to feel like the
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: man in your life. That is the dimension where you
- 1:27:44Speaker 3: bring the king out of that man. That is the
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: dimension where you let the man know that you are
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: not like all other men. You are exclusive and I
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: demonstrated in every way possible by meeting your emotional need
- 1:27:57Speaker 3: by looking physically attractive for you. Oh yes, hello, by
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: now I know you are aware. The physical attraction means
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: a lot to men. If you are not aware, you
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: are hearing it. Now, are you getting me? Don't think
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: because you get married. I'm not talking of naughdity. Don't
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: get me wrong. Are you getting a point? I'm not
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: talking of naughdity? And said doc San no, no, But
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: I've seen so many men depressed over their wife. They
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: just get married, five years, ten years, and the woman
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: is looking as if she's one hundred years old. She
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: does not care. She has thrown away a wifehood because
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: she thinks she's giving back to plenty children. And the
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: man is frustrated. He looks at another lady who is
- 1:28:42Speaker 3: ten times older than her, and she's looking like an angel,
- 1:28:45Speaker 3: and his own wife is looking like whatever it is there.
- 1:28:51Speaker 3: Please don't play games with men. Let me tell you.
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: Any man, I don't care whether anointing or elie on
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: top of his head. Jesus is written on top of
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: his head. There is a dimension. And lady was wired
- 1:29:03Speaker 3: by God to make a man's chill like a man.
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: If you don't do it, it's because of negligence. Not
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: because you have not been equipped and that has nothing
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: to do with saiduction from your physical outlook. Let the
- 1:29:17Speaker 3: man be proud of you, not a lady that you
- 1:29:21Speaker 3: just got married. And the man says comment and has
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: gout me somewhere, you just dress as if you're grate
- 1:29:26Speaker 3: for I did you. And he's looking smart, looking like
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: a young man. You're there and but asking him and
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: he said, honely, you can just see it at the car. Honestly,
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: I'll be brief. I'll just come and said, no, no,
- 1:29:35Speaker 3: I must come. I want to see what you are hiding.
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: If nobody has told you, I'm telling you now in
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: the name of the Lord. It matters. It matters, ladies,
- 1:29:49Speaker 3: It matters, and it starts from relationship. Are you a wife?
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: When was the last time you made the guy God
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: sent to you feel like a king? Let me tell you,
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: in every brother there is a king. It takes a
- 1:30:06Speaker 3: wife to bring that king out. Are you getting me?
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: When you find yourself shouting at a guy and taking
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: advantage of his niceness. There are some brothers that are
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: very cool headed. Even if you slap them, they won't
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: do anything. And you perceive yourself to think that because
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: they are cool headed, they are foolish. There is a
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: lion in every brother. There is a lamb in every brother.
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: Keep the lion in the cage. Don't let it come out.
- 1:30:29Speaker 3: You won't like it. You must make every guy feel
- 1:30:35Speaker 3: like a king. First see stop being a wife. As
- 1:30:38Speaker 3: a result, she left the palace firstie, she stopped being
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: a wife. When the king wanted to feel like a king,
- 1:30:47Speaker 3: she was not available, and he sent her out, and
- 1:30:50Speaker 3: here came Esther Hadasa, Hadassa always made the king feel
- 1:30:54Speaker 3: like a king. She prepared a fist for him, and
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: he said, what's the occasion for the fist? She said, nothing,
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: just arousing your royalty. And the kid said, my goodness,
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: please do it. The king and then by himself, he said,
- 1:31:06Speaker 3: what do you want to half of my kingdom? A
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: man will give you anything if you bring the king
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: in him. Don't make requests until he becomes a king.
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: How many ladies have strangled the king dimension in their men.
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: You just come and say, do you know that that
- 1:31:27Speaker 3: brother brought me a laptop? You said, how many months,
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: six months you have been trying to buy a laptop.
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: One brother just came out just from Tojo, No strings attached.
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: You are killing the king. When there is no king
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: in your kingdom. Enemies will come. Keep the king alive, Ladies,
- 1:31:43Speaker 3: keep the king alive. There are some things ladies have
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: been doing that a guy is tolerating. It does not
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: mean that's how he was designed to leave. You. Shout
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: at a guy anyhow and speak to him anyhow, supposed
- 1:32:00Speaker 3: to see you by seven, he comes by eight. You
- 1:32:02Speaker 3: don't give him room to explain himself. Let me tell you,
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: and you are acting nagernant film. There there is a
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: king in every guy. Don't take the generosity of any
- 1:32:12Speaker 3: man for granted. I'm sorry to say this. Many married
- 1:32:15Speaker 3: women have taken their hosbands for granted. They do not
- 1:32:19Speaker 3: exolt that king dimension. When you got married to him,
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: you used to bring food in a tree and be
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: very respectful. Now you just carry a bottle of juice
- 1:32:27Speaker 3: as if you are selling it. Just drop it on
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: the table and say there's rice in you. Kissen and
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: you will get up. You see, that's the thing with
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: many men that will get up quietly and want to
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: serve themselves. But you are endangering your marriage. You are
- 1:32:41Speaker 3: endangering your relationship. Many ladies are embarrassed to be wives,
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: because it takes submission to be a wife. If you
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: are still driven by ego and I don't want to
- 1:32:50Speaker 3: look cheap, you will never be a wife. To be
- 1:32:53Speaker 3: a wife, you must soil your hand and create a
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: king out of that man. But if you come here
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: stupid enough to make that man a king, he will
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: be fool for you. That's his reworld. Ladies, self, I
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: mean the name of Jesus, shouted in the name of Jesus,
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: I received grace to be a wife. Indeed, sisters, yar me,
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: don't lend those jargons that you watch on TV. There
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: is a difference between secular relationships and marriages and kingdom relationships.
- 1:33:27Speaker 3: Please don't let anybody confuse you. If theretous woman who
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: can't find the Bible says her husband will praise her
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: at the gates, she will do him good all the
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: days of her life. Can you honestly say, from the
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: day you started going out with that guy you have
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: broad joy? Ask yourself have you brought joy? Don't lie.
- 1:33:50Speaker 3: From the time you started going out with the guy,
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: have you brought joy to his life? Or heartbreak? His
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: finances went down, his reputation went down, his spirit. It's
- 1:34:00Speaker 3: your life went down. His equal went down, his sense
- 1:34:03Speaker 3: of purpose went down. You're not a wife. He that
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: finds a wife. You must be a wife to be found.
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: It's not marriage that makes you a wife. When a
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: man comes to you, it's a sign that you have
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: become a wife. He that finds a wife not a woman.
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: There are many women. There are a few wives. He
- 1:34:25Speaker 3: that finds a wife. Number two, Mother, Watch this mother
- 1:34:34Speaker 3: In one word, a mother is the maker of the home.
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: The key word on that mother who is sacrificed. There
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: are many ladies who have paid the price to be wives.
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: They can't give any guy the kind of love he wants.
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: They can't cook for the guy. They can do everything,
- 1:34:51Speaker 3: but they are not mothers. Ladies, I challenge you to
- 1:34:57Speaker 3: have an elderly woman in your life who will not
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: feel embarrassed to teach your motherhood. Ladies, I challenge you,
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: in the name of the Lord, do not allow worsonization
- 1:35:07Speaker 3: suck out the dimension of motherhood in you. Motherhood. A
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: man can build a house, but it takes a woman
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: to make it home. A man cannot make it home.
- 1:35:19Speaker 3: A man can duild the house and put cheers in it.
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: A home talks of the emotional climate creating the conducive
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: atmosphere for love, the conducive atmosphere for unity, the conducive
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: atmosphere for progress and peace is the responsibility of a woman.
- 1:35:38Speaker 3: I challenge the school of ministry, and I said, when
- 1:35:41Speaker 3: I come to anybody's house, there are three things, ladies,
- 1:35:44Speaker 3: I will look at in your house to prove to
- 1:35:47Speaker 3: me whether you are a mother. Indeed. Number one, your kitchen.
- 1:35:50Speaker 3: Your kitchen is a reflection of your motherhood ability. Kitchen.
- 1:35:56Speaker 3: That's where the meals are made right, That's where the
- 1:36:01Speaker 3: health of the people is preserved. There are many people.
- 1:36:05Speaker 3: Their kitchen is a mess. There are many young ladies.
- 1:36:08Speaker 3: You dress well, you wear new clothes, but your kitchen
- 1:36:11Speaker 3: is a mess. Five day old plates, one week old
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: plates roaming around in the kitchen. Yeh, the think is dirty.
- 1:36:20Speaker 3: You look at the cookahs, palm oil, everything on it.
- 1:36:23Speaker 3: You see bread that has fung. Guy to carry it
- 1:36:26Speaker 3: and troy it. You live it there The trushcan is
- 1:36:29Speaker 3: filled with dead. They're not a mother. You may be
- 1:36:32Speaker 3: a good wife or not a good mother. The Bible says,
- 1:36:36Speaker 3: she wakes up in the morning talking about her mother,
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: good dimension while it is yet early, and prepares something
- 1:36:42Speaker 3: for the children proverbs that you want, and she comes
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: to cover them to make sure they are warm in winter.
- 1:36:48Speaker 3: That's a mother, a homemaker. Sisters are young mothers. Are
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: you mothers? Indeed, that's a question. God is helping us
- 1:36:57Speaker 3: understand the right. Many ladies are not mothers, but you
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: can be mothers if you make that decision tonight. So
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: your kitchen number two, your toilets. The toilets in many
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: rooms is a disaster, a disaster plus claus disaster. One
- 1:37:22Speaker 3: universal toil used by everybody, including visitors. One universal sponge, right,
- 1:37:30Speaker 3: a sponge that looks like a rat turn into pieces
- 1:37:33Speaker 3: and the woman cannot buy another one. Listen, let me
- 1:37:36Speaker 3: tell you, ladies, there are some responsibilities that are not
- 1:37:39Speaker 3: for men. Don't let anyone fool you. If you see
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: a man doing it, he's doing it out of love.
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: He won't do it forever. You can't expect a man
- 1:37:47Speaker 3: to go to the market and go and buy new
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: buckets and bring it back home and say, I notice
- 1:37:52Speaker 3: buckets are empty. Please don't insult the man. There is
- 1:37:54Speaker 3: a king in every man. I'm not saying men cannot
- 1:37:57Speaker 3: do it, but what is your own room? A child
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: is running out of the house. Mook us everywhere, turn trousers.
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: You see you see children running out of homes no
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: clothes and it runs the hogs. Somebody outside and the
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: man is chilling and barrass and the wife is just looking.
- 1:38:13Speaker 3: Won't you come in to come in and see the
- 1:38:15Speaker 3: other things? Toilets? You look at the toilets and people,
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: it's not flushed, it's not clean. There is no water.
- 1:38:30Speaker 3: People bath and they leave the remaining water there. The
- 1:38:33Speaker 3: second person comes to add this water on it, and
- 1:38:36Speaker 3: now bath. All kinds of things happen. Come and let's
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: tell ourselves the truth. Many homes are dirty toilets, ladies,
- 1:38:43Speaker 3: make sure you are not praying for an award winning
- 1:38:45Speaker 3: man to keeping in that kind of atmosphere. Shout no where,
- 1:38:51Speaker 3: I hope, so, I really hope. So how many ladies
- 1:38:59Speaker 3: are not through act? They get up and go to
- 1:39:01Speaker 3: the market only to shop clothes and hair, and you
- 1:39:04Speaker 3: cannot buy soap. The man is rushing because he has
- 1:39:06Speaker 3: to catch up with an appointment. Ah, soap is finished
- 1:39:09Speaker 3: and wors it. Sorry, honey, and he now checks a
- 1:39:12Speaker 3: the toil. There's no water. May words not come all
- 1:39:15Speaker 3: kinds of domestic things. You want the man to do everything. No,
- 1:39:19Speaker 3: that's the dimension of your mother. A man returns back
- 1:39:23Speaker 3: from work tired and hungry, and that's when the woman
- 1:39:26Speaker 3: lazily trids herself trying to break pieces of eggs and
- 1:39:31Speaker 3: open up into me to make dinner. And yet when
- 1:39:35Speaker 3: they ask you, who do you want to marry, they say, hell,
- 1:39:37Speaker 3: you know what I want to marry. No, are you preparing.
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: God is not a wicked man to carry his son
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: that's been sweating in the vineyard and come and keep
- 1:39:46Speaker 3: you and then you stungle him to death. There are
- 1:39:51Speaker 3: many men that had broken as a result of the
- 1:39:54Speaker 3: way your wife treve your lies them. Please, ladies, listen.
- 1:39:57Speaker 3: God is speaking to us, don't you If a man
- 1:40:01Speaker 3: has not talk to you about it, I promise you
- 1:40:04Speaker 3: it's just because it's tolerating you. It's not because he's
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: enjoying it. There are men who can just take up
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: with anything, but don't. Don't. Don't push men to the world.
- 1:40:15Speaker 3: It's God helping us. And then number three, you're living room,
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: your parlor. You enter the parlor and everything is scattered,
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: water pours on the ground. The capect is thirty pieces
- 1:40:31Speaker 3: of paper around, children roaming around. Everything is unkept the
- 1:40:37Speaker 3: moment you own the phant. You see those all over
- 1:40:40Speaker 3: the parlor. And many mothers don't train your children. How
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: many ladies get up in the morning. I know that
- 1:40:49Speaker 3: part of your assignment is to make sure that your
- 1:40:52Speaker 3: rooms are clean. It starts with your own room. Now,
- 1:40:55Speaker 3: don't wait till you're in a bungalow. You want to
- 1:40:57Speaker 3: stay in a duplex of eight rooms? Are you ready
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: to sweep it? Don't you say, Oh God, I'm tired
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: of poverty. Are you ready to sweep it? I want
- 1:41:10Speaker 3: a room with this. I want the next one room
- 1:41:12Speaker 3: with an aquery of every honor, concrete responsibility. It's God's
- 1:41:19Speaker 3: making to us tonight. If you listen to what I'm saying,
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: I promise you ten years, twenty years from now, you
- 1:41:26Speaker 3: will thank me for what I'm sharing. You're leaving room.
- 1:41:33Speaker 3: The key word on their motherhood is sacrificed. Sisters, look
- 1:41:38Speaker 3: at me very carefully. If you are unwilling to let
- 1:41:41Speaker 3: good things right now, you are not a mother.
- 1:41:43Speaker 4: I'm telling you this.
- 1:41:46Speaker 3: They are not a mother. There are ladies who cannot
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: give up your food. They cannot share anything there are
- 1:41:55Speaker 3: ladies who even if you have one million narra and
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: a guy stands here with one house and nerror, you
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: want him to buy something? Your mind on the nerrah
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: for you and keep on the nerror. What sort of
- 1:42:06Speaker 3: a personal you Once there is no heart of sacrifice,
- 1:42:11Speaker 3: you are not a mother because a good mother will
- 1:42:14Speaker 3: inconvenience herself. A good mother will protect the image of
- 1:42:19Speaker 3: the father and the husband. Have you seen many of
- 1:42:22Speaker 3: our mothers do a lot of things and give the
- 1:42:23Speaker 3: honor and the credit to the hosband. The man has
- 1:42:27Speaker 3: no idea. Physitors are coming to the house, and they
- 1:42:30Speaker 3: come and they see all kinds of meals, different types,
- 1:42:33Speaker 3: and the friends of the man town and say, ah ah, promise, promise.
- 1:42:38Speaker 3: Your house is heaven on nettle. And you see him laughing.
- 1:42:40Speaker 3: He did not contribute anything to that table. But he's happy.
- 1:42:44Speaker 3: And the woman because she said good woman, she's happy.
- 1:42:48Speaker 3: They will ask God. They say, madam, you're really enjoying it.
- 1:42:51Speaker 3: That means your husband is taking care of you. And
- 1:42:52Speaker 3: she say, bless God, not that you call. The person said,
- 1:42:55Speaker 3: as you say, this is my initiate. I did it
- 1:42:57Speaker 3: because I hear God. If I'm to wait for this
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: is nothing will happen in this house. How many of
- 1:43:08Speaker 3: you right now can do good and give the credit
- 1:43:12Speaker 3: to the man God has given you and not be
- 1:43:14Speaker 3: a shamed That is how many of you can do that?
- 1:43:16Speaker 3: That you're the one that dressed him well. And when
- 1:43:19Speaker 3: he comes out and people are saying you have an
- 1:43:21Speaker 3: excellent dress, sense, you keep quiet. You know that you
- 1:43:24Speaker 3: look as an excellent care dress. Sense. I was almost
- 1:43:28Speaker 3: passing the night that they tell us this, to make
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: sure they finish the clothes. Now you're giving the credit
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: to him. A mother does not want any glory for herself.
- 1:43:36Speaker 3: Her pride is that her husband and children are lifted,
- 1:43:41Speaker 3: even at her expense. That's why you say woman can
- 1:43:45Speaker 3: carry her food. When a visitor comes and the husband says,
- 1:43:49Speaker 3: is there anything to eat? She say ah, yes yes.
- 1:43:51Speaker 3: Whereas that food she's saying yes to is her nail,
- 1:43:53Speaker 3: and she will run to the kitchen, turn it in
- 1:43:55Speaker 3: another plate, warm it quickly and come. And the children
- 1:43:58Speaker 3: are saying, mommy, boy, you have not the boy. She's
- 1:44:01Speaker 3: protecting the image of the family. You must receive grace
- 1:44:09Speaker 3: to be a mother. Number three, every woman is a
- 1:44:13Speaker 3: priest too. Every woman listen and this applies most especially
- 1:44:19Speaker 3: to single moms and women who maybe their husbands are believed,
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: and so on and so forth, that there is no
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: man in your life, whether technically or directly. If there
- 1:44:30Speaker 3: is no man in your life, you must still perform
- 1:44:33Speaker 3: that role of priesthood. I read a book some years ago,
- 1:44:38Speaker 3: The Power of a Praying Wife, and that book changed
- 1:44:42Speaker 3: my life. Every woman must be on her knees. This
- 1:44:45Speaker 3: is your all time in the home. Every woman must
- 1:44:48Speaker 3: create an all time, especially if you are marrying a
- 1:44:51Speaker 3: man of God. Don't wait until standards chilling man eat
- 1:44:54Speaker 3: of his ministry. Where will you be at the point
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: where josephel is chilling him? And strangest image, there is
- 1:45:01Speaker 3: a way you can know that your husband is getting busy.
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: He's getting busy and spiritually he's not intact. You can
- 1:45:08Speaker 3: discern that he's going down. That's the time to put
- 1:45:11Speaker 3: on your knees and im proceede for him. You see
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: him making foolish decisions, he said, leader over millions of people.
- 1:45:18Speaker 3: One decision can implicate him. There are syco fans, there
- 1:45:22Speaker 3: are newspapers waiting to discarded his grace. A true priest,
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: he is a woman who can pray him first and
- 1:45:32Speaker 3: standing and say, Lord, I'm praying for my husband and
- 1:45:34Speaker 3: praying for my friendly man. No matter how discerning we are,
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: most times we don't discern marital evil first till it
- 1:45:44Speaker 3: destroys us. I can hug thirty ladies right now as
- 1:45:49Speaker 3: generous as possible. A lady can sider and know the
- 1:45:52Speaker 3: one that hugged me from the spirit and the one
- 1:45:56Speaker 3: that hugged me from the flesh. A guy will not
- 1:45:58Speaker 3: know the guy, say man, very nice person, but a
- 1:46:01Speaker 3: lady would look as a guy now this one. I
- 1:46:05Speaker 3: felt something in me when when that lady or that brother,
- 1:46:09Speaker 3: my spirit told me that this is too generous for Joseph,
- 1:46:13Speaker 3: normal godly expression of love. That means God that's giving
- 1:46:18Speaker 3: you that spiritual equipping to save the man from danger.
- 1:46:22Speaker 3: How many women sit down and have dreams and you
- 1:46:25Speaker 3: see the life and the business and the ministry of
- 1:46:28Speaker 3: your husband crossing. God didn't just show you to keep it.
- 1:46:31Speaker 3: A man is going on a trip and you started
- 1:46:34Speaker 3: sensing in your spirit maybe accident. Why don't you discuss,
- 1:46:37Speaker 3: and said, honey, let's pray, say let him go, And
- 1:46:40Speaker 3: then something happens. He returned back on bike, and tells
- 1:46:43Speaker 3: you the car's damage. I said, oh I saw it too.
- 1:46:46Speaker 3: I saw it. What did you do about it? Remember
- 1:46:50Speaker 3: the wife of Herold. Let me prove this to you.
- 1:46:52Speaker 3: Remember the wife of Herold. She had a dream and
- 1:46:55Speaker 3: she saw the inno sense of Jesus. She got up
- 1:46:58Speaker 3: and told her husband, this man is I know you
- 1:47:01Speaker 3: people want to kill it. My spirit tells me is
- 1:47:04Speaker 3: Inno said try away that tief Barabbas. Let them crucify him.
- 1:47:08Speaker 3: Leave this innocent man. But they didn't listen to her.
- 1:47:11Speaker 3: How many men have ignored the priestly rules of their
- 1:47:14Speaker 3: wives to their detriment Rothers. Let me tell you, I
- 1:47:17Speaker 3: shared with the School of Ministry students. There is a
- 1:47:20Speaker 3: prophetic dimension in every woman. It's just that that prophetic
- 1:47:23Speaker 3: dimension is fragile. You must love her and ll know
- 1:47:28Speaker 3: how prophetic office, and then you will benefit from it. Men,
- 1:47:33Speaker 3: because egotistic people every little thing you turn to a lady,
- 1:47:37Speaker 3: I said, I beg She said, lady, I know that
- 1:47:39Speaker 3: they're emotional. There are times that ladies can and do
- 1:47:42Speaker 3: intelligent things emotionally. But let me tell you something. There
- 1:47:45Speaker 3: are times that in the midst of their emotionality, they
- 1:47:49Speaker 3: can speak for the counsel of God. There are times
- 1:47:52Speaker 3: he a man sits down and is trying to do
- 1:47:54Speaker 3: business with some friends, and you see his wife keeps quiet.
- 1:47:57Speaker 3: She's not here in the conversation, but feel it as spirit,
- 1:48:01Speaker 3: and she says, honey, I don't know what is going on,
- 1:48:04Speaker 3: but I am sorry. I'm not disrespecting you, but this
- 1:48:08Speaker 3: your oyalty you have been doing from the day you
- 1:48:11Speaker 3: started it. Something in my spirit I sense God doesn't
- 1:48:13Speaker 3: want you to be there, he said, God doesn't want
- 1:48:15Speaker 3: you to there. Are you aware? Have you seen the
- 1:48:17Speaker 3: last pity letter? Have you seen now? They have increased
- 1:48:20Speaker 3: the schoolfies. It's now wounded on fifty thousand. Please don't
- 1:48:23Speaker 3: annoy me. A woman says, I'm sorry until the day
- 1:48:28Speaker 3: They now call and say, madam, are you missisters? So
- 1:48:31Speaker 3: please come and identify your husband in the prison. We
- 1:48:33Speaker 3: just locked him up. There is a priestly dimension to
- 1:48:40Speaker 3: every lady. Brothers, please don't let the beauty of any
- 1:48:44Speaker 3: sister fool you. Beuty without God is nonsense? Are you
- 1:48:49Speaker 3: hearing me? I repeat, beauty without God is nonsense. The
- 1:48:53Speaker 3: beauty of a lady can faith like a leave added
- 1:48:56Speaker 3: to that beauty a spirituality, a spirituality at spirituality. One
- 1:49:07Speaker 3: of my greatest joys is that, by the grace of God,
- 1:49:11Speaker 3: some of the people who have risen from this ministry
- 1:49:14Speaker 3: and have gotten married, Almost every one of them I
- 1:49:17Speaker 3: know of that enjoying heaven on earth because of some
- 1:49:21Speaker 3: of these principles. You never go to their homes and
- 1:49:24Speaker 3: see cat and dog. No, you never see that kind
- 1:49:27Speaker 3: of thing. There is love. The homes may not be perfect,
- 1:49:30Speaker 3: but I tell him there is God in that role.
- 1:49:33Speaker 3: They love themselves. They're living by the principles of the
- 1:49:36Speaker 3: childom So, ladies, there are three dimensions to you. The
- 1:49:44Speaker 3: first dimension is what a wife, and your ministry as
- 1:49:49Speaker 3: a wife is to your husband alone. Please don't think
- 1:49:54Speaker 3: in lass I equal to your husband. Don't think children
- 1:49:58Speaker 3: I equal to your husband. There is a way you
- 1:50:01Speaker 3: concentrate on children and refuse your husband. You are not
- 1:50:04Speaker 3: doing him good. There is a way you concentrate on
- 1:50:07Speaker 3: in laws. There are ladies who will rather you are
- 1:50:10Speaker 3: in laws, be exalted than your husband. Every time you
- 1:50:14Speaker 3: seek how tail prepers soof in laws are coming. You
- 1:50:16Speaker 3: have never prepared it for your husband. Garying the money,
- 1:50:22Speaker 3: the remaining in the evening, that's how the man leaves
- 1:50:25Speaker 3: you starve that man because he has found to be
- 1:50:29Speaker 3: faithful to you. He has lived in a prison because
- 1:50:32Speaker 3: of his commitment to be faithful. If I were a lady,
- 1:50:49Speaker 3: see there is what you do to a man, even
- 1:50:52Speaker 3: if a woman is walking naked. Here you are joking,
- 1:50:55Speaker 3: you know you are joking. Then this son goes he
- 1:50:59Speaker 3: love me. That's a way, because there is absolutely no
- 1:51:03Speaker 3: reason except the monic oppression. Why should look at another woman?
- 1:51:08Speaker 3: What in the world, ladies, I challenge you, I want
- 1:51:11Speaker 3: you to lock your husband's attention to you. It's as
- 1:51:15Speaker 3: if you are programming him, keep him to look at
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: you all the days of your life, and have no
- 1:51:21Speaker 3: reason whatsoever to look at another woman. The power is
- 1:51:24Speaker 3: within you. It's really every time Jezebel wants to come
- 1:51:31Speaker 3: and destroy a home, they usually use the lapsis of
- 1:51:34Speaker 3: the woman. There is usually something a woman is ignoring
- 1:51:39Speaker 3: that somebody does. If you are not cooking well for
- 1:51:41Speaker 3: the man, and you have not paid attention to lend
- 1:51:44Speaker 3: new meals, you only know how to cook six meals,
- 1:51:47Speaker 3: yam pills, to love your traditional food, and maybe any
- 1:51:53Speaker 3: other thing cheeps, how can the man? It's just that
- 1:51:57Speaker 3: all the days of his life. During the midt in office,
- 1:52:00Speaker 3: they try to give him some short meal. He rejects
- 1:52:03Speaker 3: it because he wants to come and honor you. He
- 1:52:06Speaker 3: doesn't want to come back, statis right, and you start
- 1:52:08Speaker 3: suspecting him. And so he rejects a meal that would
- 1:52:11Speaker 3: have really enjoyed all through that night and comes back
- 1:52:13Speaker 3: home and meets a disaster and the pen is. He
- 1:52:17Speaker 3: knows that that disaster will be repeated again and again
- 1:52:21Speaker 3: and again, and so a woman now starts calling him
- 1:52:27Speaker 3: by ten thirteen. Hello, sir, Sorry, please, don't be offended.
- 1:52:32Speaker 3: I know that I don't deserve to be calling you.
- 1:52:34Speaker 3: And the man, he said, and who is this trying
- 1:52:36Speaker 3: to bring the king out of me? What is all this?
- 1:52:38Speaker 3: I said, sorry, sir, don't don't be offended. I just
- 1:52:41Speaker 3: wanted to find out. Have you eat him? Sir? Who
- 1:52:43Speaker 3: is this? It's your secretary? Please? I'm sorry. I hope,
- 1:52:46Speaker 3: I hope I'm not interrupting your mood. And the man
- 1:52:49Speaker 3: said no, no, no, no, bye bye. He will aptly
- 1:52:51Speaker 3: that's if he was courageous. What they said this means
- 1:52:54Speaker 3: and he's saying, I catt this? What is all that?
- 1:52:57Speaker 3: The next day again sir, have you arrived home safely?
- 1:53:00Speaker 3: And while he's doing that, the woman is watching. I
- 1:53:01Speaker 3: didn't him and laughing. We can't get let him and
- 1:53:04Speaker 3: punish you. Whereas your family, Your family is on fire.
- 1:53:09Speaker 3: Just fire on the mountain. Oh, I know he's coming
- 1:53:25Speaker 3: and there is fire on the mountain. You are about
- 1:53:28Speaker 3: to face it, bitter experience. The woman is calling and
- 1:53:34Speaker 3: then the man now calls her back and says, what
- 1:53:36Speaker 3: is this? Why are you disturbing me? He says, no, sir,
- 1:53:38Speaker 3: I don't. As a secretary, I should really find out
- 1:53:41Speaker 3: about your your wealth day. I just wanted to you.
- 1:53:43Speaker 3: Didn't look very nice in the office, and I says,
- 1:53:47Speaker 3: you know, GMS, WoT my mind? I mean, what is
- 1:53:49Speaker 3: all that? And you know, says and you don't need
- 1:53:52Speaker 3: to tell me. I know. I have always known that
- 1:53:54Speaker 3: you're an exceptional man. I mean your file come to
- 1:53:58Speaker 3: my table. The king and not that woman is bringing
- 1:54:01Speaker 3: the king out of that man, madam, fire on the mountain?
- 1:54:05Speaker 3: Your home is that? Let me tell you. Don't think
- 1:54:09Speaker 3: because he's a person, it's not a human being. Don't
- 1:54:12Speaker 3: think because he's a reverend. We call on his neck.
- 1:54:16Speaker 3: The moment stay and finds out that you are ignoring
- 1:54:19Speaker 3: your role, somebody will start playing the role. And we
- 1:54:22Speaker 3: live in a generation where there is an overage of
- 1:54:25Speaker 3: three to five lady for every available man, and so
- 1:54:28Speaker 3: there are people who are not desperate. They are not
- 1:54:31Speaker 3: as shamed to be as desperate as anything. He comes
- 1:54:36Speaker 3: up in the morning to the office and they say,
- 1:54:38Speaker 3: a hot cup of coffee. I saw your schedule for today,
- 1:54:41Speaker 3: and I saw that guy, your day is busy, and
- 1:54:44Speaker 3: I thought, you really need to be agile and walking.
- 1:54:46Speaker 3: And the man blocks the door and says, what is
- 1:54:48Speaker 3: this woman doing to me? Oh? God, you know I'm faithful.
- 1:54:50Speaker 3: I am married to one woman and carries the picture
- 1:54:54Speaker 3: of his wife and puts it on the table so
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: that the woman will come and see. And when she comes,
- 1:54:58Speaker 3: he says, what in love the woman? I can imagine
- 1:55:01Speaker 3: the way you are doing well in your house with
- 1:55:03Speaker 3: this woman. Women are wise, they know exactly what you say. Says,
- 1:55:08Speaker 3: I can imagine. I mean, no one die. If you
- 1:55:11Speaker 3: have a pretty woman like this, you should be eating well.
- 1:55:13Speaker 3: She's not an idiot. She knows exactly how to get
- 1:55:17Speaker 3: the man and keeps you in a position where you
- 1:55:20Speaker 3: now have to contemplate I'm eating well, Am I am I?
- 1:55:24Speaker 9: No.
- 1:55:28Speaker 3: Very soon you start coming home with her, You start
- 1:55:31Speaker 3: coming home with her, and the non challenge wife is
- 1:55:34Speaker 3: insensitive and she does not recognize that. Before you know it,
- 1:55:37Speaker 3: one day the woman will find out that whether she
- 1:55:40Speaker 3: meets her husband emotionally or not, he doesn't care whether
- 1:55:44Speaker 3: she cooks for him or not. He has stopped quaring her.
- 1:55:46Speaker 3: Let me assure you somebody has sat down on the
- 1:55:49Speaker 3: throne of your office comfortably and is enjoying your husband.
- 1:55:54Speaker 3: You can keep the name while she keeps the experience.
- 1:56:01Speaker 3: She may not want to marry him. Keep the name clear,
- 1:56:04Speaker 3: Miss is whatever, while she keeps the experience. Every time
- 1:56:10Speaker 3: we hear that a man fell or a man is
- 1:56:13Speaker 3: sleeping around, people are so quick to call the man eats.
- 1:56:16Speaker 3: You're stupid, you claim you're born again. The question I
- 1:56:19Speaker 3: want to ask is where was the woman? Where was
- 1:56:23Speaker 3: the woman when that was happening. It is not good.
- 1:56:26Speaker 3: The Bible never said it is not good for a
- 1:56:28Speaker 3: woman to be a lord. A woman can be a lord,
- 1:56:31Speaker 3: but it is not good. God knows why he said
- 1:56:33Speaker 3: it is not good. In other words, it is dangerous.
- 1:56:37Speaker 3: It's better for the man to be a celibate, supernatural
- 1:56:40Speaker 3: grace comes upon him. But when he is married, madam,
- 1:56:44Speaker 3: don't play games with your husband. God bless you one
- 1:56:49Speaker 3: more thing and we're done today. Are you blessed so far?
- 1:56:54Speaker 3: I want to share on what I call the big
- 1:56:56Speaker 3: Black Cloud pathway to finding a life partner, and there
- 1:57:04Speaker 3: bring tongue for one minute. Thank you Jesus. I believe
- 1:57:10Speaker 3: that this will heal relationships and heal homes. Just give
- 1:57:18Speaker 3: me a few minutes and let me say what I'm
- 1:57:20Speaker 3: about to say, very seriously, Thank you Jesus. The Biblical
- 1:57:27Speaker 3: pathway to finding a life partner. Please look up everyone.
- 1:57:32Speaker 3: Is there a method or a formul life you want
- 1:57:37Speaker 3: to say to finding a like partner? Because it looks
- 1:57:41Speaker 3: like the church is largely confused, I shared between a
- 1:57:45Speaker 3: few things from prophetic confusion to here and there. The
- 1:57:51Speaker 3: interesting thing, when I was doing a little research for
- 1:57:54Speaker 3: this message, I found something that shocked me. There were
- 1:57:58Speaker 3: all kinds of ways that people married in the Bible.
- 1:58:01Speaker 3: Let me give you a shoe, all kinds of ways, good, bad, ugly.
- 1:58:07Speaker 3: For instance, Boss here finds and marries a prostitute. Was
- 1:58:13Speaker 3: there Chapter one, verse one to three. You don't need
- 1:58:15Speaker 3: to write it. Just listen. Moses finds a man with
- 1:58:20Speaker 3: seven daughters. He waters the flog and carries a wife
- 1:58:24Speaker 3: free of churche. Exodus two, verse sixteen to twenty one.
- 1:58:29Speaker 3: Bos buys a land, and with that property he finds
- 1:58:33Speaker 3: a poor lady and she becomes his wife. What a coincidence?
- 1:58:37Speaker 3: Rout Chapter four from verse five to ten. Are you blessed?
- 1:58:43Speaker 3: The Benjamin nights in June twenty one, verse nineteen to
- 1:58:46Speaker 3: twenty five. They stole women and ran away with them.
- 1:58:49Speaker 3: That's how the women, That's how they married. So just
- 1:58:52Speaker 3: go to a camp still a woman disappear with her Chekob.
- 1:58:59Speaker 3: He lay for seven years times two Genesis twenty nine,
- 1:59:03Speaker 3: verse fifteen to thirty, seven years of toilet and labor,
- 1:59:08Speaker 3: got the wrong wife, labored for another seven years god
- 1:59:11Speaker 3: the one he wanted fourteen years labor to get a wife.
- 1:59:14Speaker 3: Twenty nine, verse fifteen to thirty of Genesis Delvy. He
- 1:59:19Speaker 3: kills Golard, gets rich, marries the king's daughter, and frees
- 1:59:24Speaker 3: his house from pain tax. That's how he got his wife.
- 1:59:27Speaker 3: First Samwhere seventeen, verse twenty five. The king swore that
- 1:59:30Speaker 3: whoever defis go Liard, he will give him his wife.
- 1:59:34Speaker 3: He will make him rich and the family will no
- 1:59:37Speaker 3: longer pay tax. As was ritten off to organize a
- 1:59:42Speaker 3: beauty contest where all the virgins in the land were
- 1:59:45Speaker 3: brought and he got a wife. Es suchapter two from
- 1:59:48Speaker 3: verse three to four. Derv kills you Uriah and marries
- 1:59:53Speaker 3: his wife. So in the Bible people kill people and
- 1:59:56Speaker 3: married their wife. Second somewhere eleven, Solomon found out that
- 2:00:02Speaker 3: marine one or two is not the way, so he
- 2:00:04Speaker 3: had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines. Second kings eleven,
- 2:00:07Speaker 3: verse one to three. These are different skills and strategies.
- 2:00:11Speaker 3: People explore this marriage thing in the Bible. One thousand
- 2:00:16Speaker 3: women in his life so that he can be faithful.
- 2:00:28Speaker 3: And then Paul in first Corrangia seven two to thirty
- 2:00:31Speaker 3: five just said, look all this thing is a mess.
- 2:00:34Speaker 3: Let me just serve God and leave. And so he
- 2:00:36Speaker 3: refused to get married. Now you see I trusted a
- 2:00:39Speaker 3: little run down. There were times when there are more
- 2:00:43Speaker 3: like capturing slaves. You capture a slave and turn her
- 2:00:47Speaker 3: into your wife. So if you read the Bible without
- 2:00:53Speaker 3: the wisdom of the state, you will be deceaved. Which
- 2:00:56Speaker 3: of the method will you choose chill a man's wife,
- 2:01:00Speaker 3: kill a man's husband a woman's husband and marries and
- 2:01:03Speaker 3: marry her. Or go to a vineyard and by real
- 2:01:07Speaker 3: estate and everything in it, plus the woman is a
- 2:01:10Speaker 3: signed that is your wife. Or organize a beauty contest
- 2:01:15Speaker 3: and then do it like the bachelor and then the
- 2:01:19Speaker 3: finance becomes your wife. Or marry one thousand women, or
- 2:01:27Speaker 3: defeat ask for government what they will give you if
- 2:01:31Speaker 3: you will fight terrorism, whether you marry president's daughter. Anyway,
- 2:01:37Speaker 3: the point here is this, there are many examples the Bible. Interestingly,
- 2:01:43Speaker 3: now I don't know why exactly, but the Bible does
- 2:01:45Speaker 3: not exactly give us a direct formula like salvation. You know,
- 2:01:50Speaker 3: when it comes to salvation, there's a formula. Is that true?
- 2:01:53Speaker 3: There is a way you know you are not safe.
- 2:01:55Speaker 3: There is a way you know you are safe. But
- 2:01:57Speaker 3: from marriage, it seemed as though there was no exact formula.
- 2:02:04Speaker 3: And I believe the reason is because we are dealing
- 2:02:06Speaker 3: with human beings here. Hallelujah. But then I've been able
- 2:02:10Speaker 3: to bring up a few things that I want us
- 2:02:13Speaker 3: to look at. We may not have the time to consider.
- 2:02:16Speaker 3: Two incidentss in the Bible. Adam the first marriage in
- 2:02:21Speaker 3: Genesis to twenty one. Let's us look at it if
- 2:02:24Speaker 3: you can help us. Okay, Genesis two twenty one. Let's
- 2:02:27Speaker 3: just turn here, so that will hurry up and pray.
- 2:02:29Speaker 3: Genesis to twenty one. I want to bring out a
- 2:02:31Speaker 3: few points that will bless us. Genesis to twenty one,
- 2:02:50Speaker 3: Genesis to twenty one. If you are esay, amen, and
- 2:02:53Speaker 3: the ripe listen, and the ripe which the Lord God
- 2:02:56Speaker 3: had taken from the man made he a woman and
- 2:03:00Speaker 3: onto the man. Now the point here, the key verse
- 2:03:03Speaker 3: is verse twenty three. And Adams said, this is now
- 2:03:09Speaker 3: what borne off my bones and flesh. Of my flesh,
- 2:03:15Speaker 3: she shall be called woman. Why because she was taken
- 2:03:20Speaker 3: out of man. Watch this. So the wife that Adam
- 2:03:25Speaker 3: married was made of the same material, the same substance,
- 2:03:30Speaker 3: the same ideology, the same conviction. I will get you
- 2:03:34Speaker 3: some points there now. So Adam married a woman who
- 2:03:37Speaker 3: was made of the same substance. If she was a lion,
- 2:03:41Speaker 3: the substance will not be compatible. So we see compatibility
- 2:03:45Speaker 3: as a key here. It had to be a woman
- 2:03:47Speaker 3: who was taken out of him had the same composition
- 2:03:51Speaker 3: with him, spiritual composition, psychological composition, biological composition. You will
- 2:03:58Speaker 3: never marry a man or a woman that does not
- 2:04:00Speaker 3: sustain the same composition with you. There will be big trouble.
- 2:04:07Speaker 3: I wanted to talk on Genesis twenty four, the story
- 2:04:10Speaker 3: of Isaac. That's the first show in the Bible where
- 2:04:13Speaker 3: a man goes to look for a wife for another
- 2:04:15Speaker 3: person both. Let's just jump that points to note there
- 2:04:22Speaker 3: is no physical formula provided for finding a wife, but
- 2:04:26Speaker 3: there are scriptural guidelines. There is no physical formula in
- 2:04:33Speaker 3: the Bible. The Bible scatters guidelines, and I've been able
- 2:04:38Speaker 3: to bring five scriptures that if you use, they will
- 2:04:43Speaker 3: guide you to make a very godly decision. Ready number
- 2:04:46Speaker 3: one Provabs eighteen twenty two Prohabs eighteen twenty two. If
- 2:04:51Speaker 3: you can help us, media, let's just hurry up Proverabs
- 2:04:56Speaker 3: twenty two, Prohaps eighteen verse twenty two. Okay, look, God,
- 2:05:02Speaker 3: please read with me inside and outside. Want to read
- 2:05:07Speaker 3: Who saw what? Find that a wife? Find that a
- 2:05:13Speaker 3: good thing and obtains favor. So automatically, the Bible shows
- 2:05:19Speaker 3: us that the process of getting a wife will demand
- 2:05:23Speaker 3: responsibility on the part of the man. There will be action,
- 2:05:28Speaker 3: It will involve you. The word find whosoever picks a wife,
- 2:05:33Speaker 3: or whosoever prays a wife to come, whosoever finds a wife.
- 2:05:39Speaker 3: It gives an idea of searching. It gives an idea
- 2:05:43Speaker 3: of desire. That means there will be commitments. If you
- 2:05:46Speaker 3: want to get married, action will be required on your
- 2:05:50Speaker 3: own part. The Bible says, whosoever finds a wife, You're
- 2:05:57Speaker 3: not going to sit down where you are and want
- 2:05:59Speaker 3: a lady to come and meet you. It's not going
- 2:06:01Speaker 3: to happen that way. Regardless of whether you saw efficient
- 2:06:04Speaker 3: or not. There will be an initiation. There will be
- 2:06:07Speaker 3: a staph. You most take number two MS. Chapter three,
- 2:06:14Speaker 3: verse three. It brotresses on Genesis chapter two, Amos three,
- 2:06:19Speaker 3: verse three, Very quickly, please Amos three, verse three. This
- 2:06:24Speaker 3: is the grand key I believe to a successful marriage
- 2:06:28Speaker 3: and relationship. The key to a successful marriage is not love.
- 2:06:33Speaker 3: It has been proven again and again that love is
- 2:06:35Speaker 3: not enough to keep marriage. Can two walk together except
- 2:06:42Speaker 3: the word be agreed? The word we agreed is the
- 2:06:46Speaker 3: word compatible. Compatible. Compatible measures your degree of agreeableness, spiritual agreeableness,
- 2:06:56Speaker 3: psychological agreeableness, similarity in ideologies about God, about money, about life,
- 2:07:05Speaker 3: about parenting. Two will work together. If they are compatible?
- 2:07:12Speaker 3: Are you getting what I'm saying now? Very important? That
- 2:07:16Speaker 3: means come. That means it doesn't matter whether I saw
- 2:07:21Speaker 3: her in advision or in a dream, whether I saw
- 2:07:25Speaker 3: myself wearing a boat tie and she was wearing a
- 2:07:28Speaker 3: white wedding gown and a flower came from heaven. I said,
- 2:07:32Speaker 3: this flower is your marriage flower. I don't care what
- 2:07:35Speaker 3: you saw or did not see. If there is no compatibility,
- 2:07:39Speaker 3: imagine for instance, that this is my wife. I get
- 2:07:43Speaker 3: married to this young lady right and I'm praying tongues
- 2:07:47Speaker 3: or she is praying tongues and I'm turning. I said,
- 2:07:50Speaker 3: what is that? I don't believe in praying tongues. Two
- 2:07:52Speaker 3: are not working together. I believe in spending and wastage.
- 2:07:58Speaker 3: I believe in my ego rather let children die to
- 2:08:01Speaker 3: be given donations to church. And that's not her mindset.
- 2:08:05Speaker 3: You see that there is friction. So what is your
- 2:08:08Speaker 3: ideology about God?
- 2:08:10Speaker 4: Bless you?
- 2:08:11Speaker 3: What is your ideology about God? What is your ideology
- 2:08:15Speaker 3: about money? What is your ideology about caul chuaw cal
- 2:08:19Speaker 3: chaw call chaw? What's your ideology about ministry? A man
- 2:08:26Speaker 3: of God? For instance, go to get a lady because
- 2:08:29Speaker 3: she's fine. Have you seen whether what is a passion
- 2:08:32Speaker 3: about ministry? Otherwise she will be fine for nothing and
- 2:08:37Speaker 3: destroy your church. When she's supposed to be a model.
- 2:08:42Speaker 3: She cannot sacrifice. She can lay down her life to
- 2:08:45Speaker 3: be the mother figure for the church. God's wreaking to us.
- 2:08:54Speaker 3: I want you to write this down and tie it. Never.
- 2:08:59Speaker 3: I don't care what you see in the spirit. Never, Brothers,
- 2:09:03Speaker 3: ask a lady out who you are not compatible with.
- 2:09:07Speaker 3: You're going to destroy her or she will destroy you,
- 2:09:11Speaker 3: even if she does not have every ideology straightened out?
- 2:09:15Speaker 3: Does she have the teachability? Sisters? Does he have the teachability?
- 2:09:19Speaker 3: It's not just that he's in a jeep. What is
- 2:09:23Speaker 3: his ideology about managing challenges? Otherwise you are Christian? You
- 2:09:29Speaker 3: will get married to him. He tells you. He said Christian.
- 2:09:33Speaker 3: And the next thing, he brings the tale of an
- 2:09:35Speaker 3: antelope or the tail of any animal and hands it
- 2:09:40Speaker 3: as a jazz and says, see, I know I'm a Christian,
- 2:09:44Speaker 3: but let me tell you my great grandfather has this thing.
- 2:09:47Speaker 3: It's like that in our culture. Everybody brings it. If
- 2:09:50Speaker 3: you don't understand, just keep it here. That's supposed to
- 2:09:53Speaker 3: be a Christian. He wakes up in the morning and
- 2:09:56Speaker 3: is making incantations on that tale. And you are saying,
- 2:10:00Speaker 3: my goodness, what did I get married to? And you
- 2:10:03Speaker 3: know by spiritual intelligence that you're in trouble, but you
- 2:10:07Speaker 3: claim you were marrying a rich man. Now you've married disaster.
- 2:10:13Speaker 3: Even if you never see one vision, even if you
- 2:10:17Speaker 3: never hear anybody's name, By the time you find a
- 2:10:21Speaker 3: lady that is compatible in ideology, I guarantee you accept
- 2:10:26Speaker 3: the world of God is a life, you will have
- 2:10:28Speaker 3: an exceptional marriage. That is the reason why unbelievers, although
- 2:10:34Speaker 3: when they're married they were not born again because they
- 2:10:37Speaker 3: had compatibility, they still are together. And Christians who are
- 2:10:41Speaker 3: born again because they think born again will solve compatibility.
- 2:10:48Speaker 3: The Bible says it's better to sit at the roof
- 2:10:51Speaker 3: of your house than to be with a contentious and
- 2:10:55Speaker 3: angry woman. You're a man of God. You know where
- 2:11:00Speaker 3: God is taking you to. Now you're going to carry
- 2:11:02Speaker 3: a lady that is lazy. You carry a lady that
- 2:11:05Speaker 3: is weak, crying over every day. Let me tell you
- 2:11:08Speaker 3: two of you are bonnigay. But just know that that
- 2:11:11Speaker 3: that family is on his way to crash down. I
- 2:11:14Speaker 3: tell you the truth, don't stone unnecessarily, don't rereal it
- 2:11:18Speaker 3: to our life things and say no, I know my
- 2:11:21Speaker 3: God is April this girl the way she praised mister man,
- 2:11:24Speaker 3: can is she going to be able to cook for you?
- 2:11:30Speaker 3: That's the reason why I encourage people the moment you
- 2:11:34Speaker 3: start a relationship. Part of the many responsibilities of the
- 2:11:38Speaker 3: man is take the lady to your whether your church
- 2:11:42Speaker 3: or your meeting place wherever it's your primary place of
- 2:11:45Speaker 3: spiritual fitting. Do you know what? Let me tell you.
- 2:11:48Speaker 3: If a brother in Coynonia ask a lady out in
- 2:11:52Speaker 3: coin Onia, the probability of them have been an exceptional
- 2:11:56Speaker 3: marriage is even above ninety percent. Why because they're ideal?
- 2:12:00Speaker 3: Is a similar They're hearing the same thing and they
- 2:12:03Speaker 3: delete the same thing. Are you get to know what
- 2:12:07Speaker 3: I'm saying now? Not that we say okay, we're fasting
- 2:12:10Speaker 3: for ten days and the wife is pulling her mouthful
- 2:12:12Speaker 3: around and angry and saying this, this, this similar. I
- 2:12:15Speaker 3: don't like all these kind of thing, So what kind
- 2:12:17Speaker 3: of ten days? First? What is all that? And the
- 2:12:20Speaker 3: man is saying, look, look we're going far. We're going far.
- 2:12:23Speaker 3: Or a woman who hates excellence and is ready to
- 2:12:27Speaker 3: manage anything. But the man is ready to stay first.
- 2:12:32Speaker 3: Number three Proverbs chapter nineteen, verse fourteen. Very interesting scripture.
- 2:12:41Speaker 3: When I stumbled across this, it blessed me no small way.
- 2:12:44Speaker 3: Proverbs chapter nineteen, verse fourteen. Everyone read one to read.
- 2:12:57Speaker 3: It says houses and meaning your father and mother, your parents.
- 2:13:04Speaker 3: You can inherit houses and riches, but when it has
- 2:13:08Speaker 3: to do with a woman, you must involve God. Are
- 2:13:11Speaker 3: you hearing now? He says, a full ten wife is
- 2:13:16Speaker 3: from the Lord, meaning if you if not God, you
- 2:13:20Speaker 3: throw God out of the question because you believe that
- 2:13:23Speaker 3: this God. Every time God comes in, he messes my
- 2:13:26Speaker 3: relationship and makes me to take a decision. Many people
- 2:13:29Speaker 3: hate God until the entire relationship. They now go to
- 2:13:32Speaker 3: God and say, Lord, this is here by introducing my
- 2:13:35Speaker 3: life partner and God to say you choose it. Go ahead.
- 2:13:40Speaker 3: By the time you see perpend in the relationship or
- 2:13:43Speaker 3: the marriage, you now trying to say, God, where were you?
- 2:13:46Speaker 3: God says I was here all the while. Behold, I
- 2:13:50Speaker 3: stand at the door and knock. If you opener, will
- 2:13:54Speaker 3: come in if you give me entrance. Let me tell
- 2:13:57Speaker 3: you something. Brothers and sisters, A pood wife, and by extension,
- 2:14:02Speaker 3: a prudent husband is from the Lord. You cannot use
- 2:14:05Speaker 3: the scene of the eye to know that a man
- 2:14:07Speaker 3: who still be faithful after ten years. Men can change
- 2:14:10Speaker 3: as at the time you meet the man, he doesn't
- 2:14:12Speaker 3: have money. You don't know what his tendencies are. You
- 2:14:15Speaker 3: cannot use the beauty and the physic of a lady
- 2:14:17Speaker 3: just to believe that this is my wife. Oh God,
- 2:14:20Speaker 3: no matter what you say, m Krigia, a prudent wife
- 2:14:25Speaker 3: is from the Lord. A pull dented wife is from
- 2:14:28Speaker 3: the Lord. So involve God. These are the guidelines that
- 2:14:34Speaker 3: the Bible gives us. So number one, there is a finding.
- 2:14:38Speaker 3: You will take action, and for ladies, you will position yourself. Brothers,
- 2:14:43Speaker 3: if you ever want a wife, stop sitting there and
- 2:14:46Speaker 3: just saying visions and visions and visions. I will round
- 2:14:49Speaker 3: up with the issue of visions. A prudent wife is
- 2:14:51Speaker 3: from the Lord. Number four Isaiah Tati verse twenty one.
- 2:14:56Speaker 3: It's another guideline that the Bible gives us Isaiah Tatty
- 2:15:00Speaker 3: twenty one, Very very powerful. Isaiah third as I thirty
- 2:15:07Speaker 3: twenty one, Media thirty twenty one. Please Isaiah thirty okay,
- 2:15:23Speaker 3: and I yes, shall what hear a voice behind it
- 2:15:27Speaker 3: saying this is the way what you need. When you
- 2:15:33Speaker 3: turn to the right hand, when you turn to the left,
- 2:15:37Speaker 3: it says you will hear voice. In other words, expect
- 2:15:40Speaker 3: the leadership of the Holy Spirit in helping you choose
- 2:15:43Speaker 3: a life partner. Expect it. The Bible gives you a
- 2:15:47Speaker 3: guarantee that you will hear a voice leading you my ship.
- 2:15:54Speaker 3: Here my voice, my sheep, hear my voice, my sheep,
- 2:16:00Speaker 3: hear my voice. And then lastly looks Chapter fourteen, verse
- 2:16:11Speaker 3: twenty eight, everybody read this is the cost dimension of
- 2:16:27Speaker 3: marriage and relationships? Ready want to read? Sit dead, not
- 2:16:35Speaker 3: down first and count the cost? Whether he has what
- 2:16:41Speaker 3: soufsition to what finish? Not start the building, not start
- 2:16:48Speaker 3: the marriage. Which of you intending to build a marital
- 2:16:54Speaker 3: power will not first sit down and start counting the cost?
- 2:16:59Speaker 3: Am I ready to pay the schoolfies of children? Am
- 2:17:04Speaker 3: I ready to be responsible over a woman and a family?
- 2:17:08Speaker 3: Am I ready to live with one woman up the
- 2:17:11Speaker 3: death of my life and be faithful? Am I ready
- 2:17:15Speaker 3: to grow all with this man and grow all with
- 2:17:19Speaker 3: this woman? Am I ready to love her like my life?
- 2:17:23Speaker 3: Am I ready to protect her. Am I ready to
- 2:17:27Speaker 3: die for my family. This is a guideline. No matter
- 2:17:32Speaker 3: what vision you see, no matter what dream you have,
- 2:17:35Speaker 3: God will not count the cost for you. This is
- 2:17:38Speaker 3: where we miss it. God can show you that shall
- 2:17:41Speaker 3: hormice your wife, but if you don't count the cost,
- 2:17:44Speaker 3: it will still fail. It does not mean God live
- 2:17:51Speaker 3: five scriptures that if any man uses sincerely as a guideline,
- 2:17:56Speaker 3: you will make a good relationship, will make an exceptional relationship.
- 2:18:02Speaker 3: Now let me round up by saying this, According to scripture,
- 2:18:07Speaker 3: the prophetic is not the doctrine or the primary channel
- 2:18:14Speaker 3: through which God reveals life partners. No, while it is
- 2:18:19Speaker 3: true that at least in two places in Scripture we
- 2:18:23Speaker 3: see God directly involved in bringing revelation and confirmation about
- 2:18:28Speaker 3: a life a man's life partner. Number one is the
- 2:18:32Speaker 3: prophet whosereh we see God himself asking him to go
- 2:18:36Speaker 3: and marry a prostitute. But we understand that that was
- 2:18:39Speaker 3: a prophetic message. Prophets those people were. They were actors.
- 2:18:44Speaker 3: God will literally use their life to act out a
- 2:18:47Speaker 3: script and explain the halotry of Israel to that to her.
- 2:18:52Speaker 3: So he told Josea to go and marry a prophet
- 2:18:55Speaker 3: called Goma, and so that's with a halo. Three she
- 2:18:59Speaker 3: will lead him. And then you say, the pain you
- 2:19:02Speaker 3: feel is the pain I always feel when Israel goes
- 2:19:05Speaker 3: to bow to other gods. Number one. Number two we
- 2:19:08Speaker 3: see yourself being afraid knowing that Mary was with child.
- 2:19:12Speaker 3: He wanted to divorce her quietly, and the Angel appears
- 2:19:16Speaker 3: and gives it divine confirmation. Don't be afraid to take
- 2:19:20Speaker 3: her as your wife. Are you getting the point? Now?
- 2:19:23Speaker 3: Know the place I know in scripture where you find
- 2:19:27Speaker 3: God giving direct revelations. No, there are guidelines, there are principles.
- 2:19:35Speaker 3: Now does God refuse pouses to people, Yes, he does.
- 2:19:40Speaker 3: But I believe strongly that there are two conditions for that.
- 2:19:44Speaker 3: Number one is based on your personal degree of intimacy
- 2:19:48Speaker 3: and relationship with God and your level of yieldedness to him.
- 2:19:52Speaker 3: There is a way I can work with God and
- 2:19:55Speaker 3: end certain privileges on the strength of my intimacy with him.
- 2:20:00Speaker 3: I am so given all to God that he knows
- 2:20:03Speaker 3: that whatever choice He makes for me, I am that
- 2:20:06Speaker 3: dead to say yes to him. Based on that, God
- 2:20:09Speaker 3: is able to open you up and give you the
- 2:20:11Speaker 3: privilege of using visions and revelations. It is rather a
- 2:20:18Speaker 3: unique case, or use a prophet to speak to you. Another.
- 2:20:22Speaker 3: She that justifies prophetic revelation is the nature and the
- 2:20:27Speaker 3: kind of assignment. There are certain kinds of assignment that
- 2:20:31Speaker 3: will necessarily involve you marrying certain kinds of women or men.
- 2:20:36Speaker 3: For instance, being in ministry as a man of God.
- 2:20:41Speaker 3: Because of the nature of your call, God will not
- 2:20:43Speaker 3: allow you to just marry anybody. You will find out
- 2:20:46Speaker 3: that there are probings and there are dealings. God will
- 2:20:51Speaker 3: be exceptionally meticulous. Aside from these two instances, every other
- 2:20:59Speaker 3: means of marriage in the Bible. It's simply not just
- 2:21:04Speaker 3: waiting for what you call God's tiny. Are you seeing
- 2:21:08Speaker 3: the mistake now? God's tiny is when you become a husband,
- 2:21:13Speaker 3: when you become a father, when you become what when
- 2:21:18Speaker 3: you become that it is time for marriage because male
- 2:21:22Speaker 3: and female He created them, and God already gave the
- 2:21:25Speaker 3: command be fruitful and multiplier and replenish it. When woman
- 2:21:29Speaker 3: was brought into the sea, God saw that it is good.
- 2:21:33Speaker 3: So waiting forever to say God wants me to marry
- 2:21:37Speaker 3: in two thousand and and twenty, or God wants me
- 2:21:41Speaker 3: to marry. I've fifty That's why I'm forty five. I'm
- 2:21:44Speaker 3: not married. No, no, no, no, no, no no. It
- 2:21:48Speaker 3: is absolutely up to you. If you delay marriage because
- 2:21:53Speaker 3: you are trying to be a husband, a father, and
- 2:21:56Speaker 3: a priest, I salute you. Don't let anybody push your
- 2:22:00Speaker 3: pressure and say marriage, or I say, lady, if you
- 2:22:03Speaker 3: feel that you need some space to become a wife,
- 2:22:07Speaker 3: a mother and a priest, I also salute you, because
- 2:22:12Speaker 3: it is a sign of honor to both your husband
- 2:22:15Speaker 3: and your wife respective. So the Church has been caught
- 2:22:22Speaker 3: up in all these illusions because there has not been
- 2:22:25Speaker 3: a very we have complicated the issue of marriage, whereas
- 2:22:29Speaker 3: it is a very very simple thing. Look at me,
- 2:22:33Speaker 3: any brother here that believes that you have trained yourself
- 2:22:40Speaker 3: to be a husband, a father, and a priest, I
- 2:22:46Speaker 3: guarantee you the gates are open for you for marriage,
- 2:22:49Speaker 3: and no demon in hell will stop you. And any
- 2:22:52Speaker 3: lady that truly you can know you are prepared. Some
- 2:22:56Speaker 3: of you right now, at once, you will stop praying,
- 2:22:58Speaker 3: Oh God, when will they come? Right now you are
- 2:23:01Speaker 3: seeing that, truly, truly, you are not prepared, especially for
- 2:23:04Speaker 3: the kind of person you want. Let me balance this
- 2:23:09Speaker 3: if you have a vision and a dream of a
- 2:23:13Speaker 3: man or a lady, keep it to yourself and keep
- 2:23:17Speaker 3: moving on. And again, what I'm saying this advice is
- 2:23:20Speaker 3: a blessed advice that will honor you. The Bible says,
- 2:23:24Speaker 3: and Mary kept these things to herself. Whether it comes
- 2:23:28Speaker 3: to pass, it should not ruin your life. Whether there
- 2:23:31Speaker 3: is vision or not. We see in parts, and we
- 2:23:34Speaker 3: prophesy in part. Whether there be tongues, they will go away.
- 2:23:37Speaker 3: Whether there be prophecy, they will end. But thy word,
- 2:23:41Speaker 3: oh Lord, is settled in heaven. Prophecy and visions should
- 2:23:47Speaker 3: never be exalted above the world. That will become the
- 2:23:50Speaker 3: secret to disappointment. So if God shows you a guide,
- 2:23:55Speaker 3: thank God for it. If God shows you a lady,
- 2:23:59Speaker 3: thank God for it. Keep those visuals, oh, not them,
- 2:24:03Speaker 3: but keep preparing to follow the truths of the written world.
- 2:24:06Speaker 3: If it so happens that God brings the person and
- 2:24:09Speaker 3: confirms his word, glorine to God, and be giving praise.
- 2:24:13Speaker 3: If it so happens that things did not work exactly
- 2:24:16Speaker 3: as shown in the vision, Lord, I give you praise.
- 2:24:18Speaker 3: I am growing. Are you getting that this is a
- 2:24:21Speaker 3: recipe for freedom? Or the wise? They will keep being
- 2:24:25Speaker 3: repeated circles of heart breaks and disappointment in the church.
- 2:24:30Speaker 3: Right now, when brothers and sisters are getting married, there
- 2:24:33Speaker 3: are people who come for weddings with heart shattering pain.
- 2:24:38Speaker 3: They sit down and it's almost like a nightmare as
- 2:24:41Speaker 3: they watch the man they have always desired been giving
- 2:24:46Speaker 3: to another woman, or they watch the lady they've seen
- 2:24:49Speaker 3: all their lives in a dream. Listen, we exholt the
- 2:24:54Speaker 3: world of God above any dream, above any vision. That's
- 2:25:00Speaker 3: the reason why you can dream and see five different
- 2:25:02Speaker 3: ladies at five different times. Do not allow yourself to
- 2:25:07Speaker 3: be discouraged because not everything may be a lie, it
- 2:25:11Speaker 3: may be true. However, make up your mind that this
- 2:25:15Speaker 3: world that abides forever will become your key. So, my brother,
- 2:25:21Speaker 3: the key to your marriage is in your hands. My sister,
- 2:25:26Speaker 3: the key to your marriage is in your hands. It's
- 2:25:28Speaker 3: not in the hands of a dream, it's not in
- 2:25:31Speaker 3: the hands of a prophet, it's not even in the
- 2:25:33Speaker 3: hands of God. He has given it to you. When
- 2:25:36Speaker 3: you become a host fand when you become a wife,
- 2:25:40Speaker 3: when you become a father, when you become a mother,
- 2:25:45Speaker 3: and when you become priests, you are ready for marriage.
- 2:25:48Speaker 3: When you are ready to end prophetic and spiritual confusion.
- 2:25:52Speaker 3: When you are ready to make your standards reasonable for
- 2:25:55Speaker 3: a man to come into your life, or your standard
- 2:25:58Speaker 3: reasonable to get it godly wife, when you are ready
- 2:26:01Speaker 3: to refuse on godly parental influences destroying your life, when
- 2:26:06Speaker 3: you are ready to make alternatives for your finance and
- 2:26:09Speaker 3: your establishment, and when you are finally ready to involve
- 2:26:12Speaker 3: God in your life, then you are ready for marriage.
- 2:26:14Speaker 3: Rise up on your feet, lift your hands, and begin
- 2:26:19Speaker 3: to bless the Lord for tonight Sha lada bash the
