- 0:08Nana Malanda Salaga de Belagata, the La Brancha Santa Belagata,
- 0:14the Waster Palamanakata, the Dephora, Sabella malakata, the
- 0:22canca worm, the Palma worm. They eat slowly, but they eat.
- 0:28They divorce slowly, but they divorce.
- 0:31They eat up everything good in your life.
- 0:35Said I will restore the years that the Canca worm, the Palmer
- 0:39worm, the Caterpillar. Hallelujah, in Jesus name we
- 0:55pray. Please be seated, pick up your
- 0:57notes and let's write. So there is.
- 1:01I'm teaching you the tripartite expression of poverty, that
- 1:06there is the spirit of poverty, and I'm showing you how it
- 1:11works. It's cadules or currencies that
- 1:17bring losses, that brings waste, that eats up that divorce, that
- 1:24depletes, that scatters #2 there is the mindset that leads to
- 1:34poverty. Now hear me, ladies and
- 1:36gentlemen, I like to teach and bring balance and wholeness.
- 1:42As important as the spirit of poverty is, you will be
- 1:46surprised that many have come under strong Apostolic and
- 1:52prophetic graces. They have met people who have
- 1:57been empowered with the grace for wealth and many have been
- 2:00delivered from these spirits and they rejoice.
- 2:03They know those influences have left.
- 2:05And yet in a shocking way, what happens to their finances is
- 2:10like droplets of water. You know how when it's about to
- 2:14rain, one drop per year, 1 testimony and no more, and
- 2:19they're wondering. Then you see them say, but
- 2:21Apostle I, I prayed, I even sowed the seed.
- 2:24It is because poverty is tripartite in its expression.
- 2:30You are not free till you attack it from this realm.
- 2:33Let's go to the second phase, the mindset that leads to
- 2:38poverty. Numbers chapter 13.
- 2:40Please let me show you the power of mindset.
- 2:43The Bible says was a man thinking in his heart so he see
- 2:46numbers 13. Let's read from verse 17 media.
- 2:51Let's work together. I will show you the verses to
- 2:53jump. And Moses sent them to spy out
- 2:56the land of Canaan. We're reading 17 to 21.
- 3:00Then we'll jump to 25. Moses sent them to spy the land
- 3:03of Canaan. Watch these 12 spies.
- 3:06And he said to them, get you up this way southward and go to the
- 3:11mountain next verse and see the land and the people that dwell
- 3:15there. See whether they are strong or
- 3:17weak, whether they are few or many.
- 3:19Verse 19 And what and, and what land it is that they dwell in,
- 3:24whether it's a good land or a bad land, and what cities they
- 3:28dwell in, whether in tents or in strongholds. 20 And what the
- 3:33land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there be wood
- 3:38therein or not. He says Be of good courage,
- 3:41bring the fruit from the land and then he says at that time it
- 3:45was a time of first stripe grips. 21 So they went up.
- 3:49He sent 12 spies and they searched the land from the
- 3:52wilderness of Zen on to Rehope as the men come to Hamas.
- 3:59Now jump to verse 25. Forsake of time.
- 4:03They now return from searching the land after 40 days.
- 4:07Follow carefully next verse. And they went and came to Moses
- 4:12and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of
- 4:14Israel, and they showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they
- 4:19took him, and said, We came to the land without thou sent us,
- 4:23and surely it flows with milk and honey, and this, this is the
- 4:28fruit of it. 28 Nevertheless, here's where mindsets come in.
- 4:33Nevertheless they are still speaking.
- 4:35The people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are
- 4:40walled, fenced, and very great. And moreover, we saw the
- 4:44children of the Anak or Anakims there. 29 And the Amalekites
- 4:49dwell in the land of the South, and the Hittites and the
- 4:52Jebusites and the Amorites, and in the mountains, and the
- 4:55Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coast of Jordan. 30 And
- 5:00Caleb. Caleb was angry, he's still the
- 5:03people before Moses and said let us go up.
- 5:06As far as my mindset is concerned, let us go up at once
- 5:11and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it.
- 5:15Still reading 31 But the man went to him and said we be not
- 5:21able to go up against these people, for they are stronger
- 5:25than we 32. The Bible calls their report an
- 5:30evil report of the land which they searched out to the
- 5:34children saying the land even though it's its inhabitants and
- 5:39all the people we saw are of great starch of final verse 33
- 5:44And we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which were giants and
- 5:50read the last sentence, please everybody want to go.
- 5:54And we were in our own sight. And so we were in their sight
- 6:01one more time from that part, and we were in our own sight.
- 6:08Please look up, ladies and gentlemen.
- 6:10God did not call them grasshoppers.
- 6:13Satan did not call them grasshoppers.
- 6:15They called themselves grasshoppers.
- 6:19Numbers 14, verse one, let me teach you something. 14 verse
- 6:23one. We'll continue our reading.
- 6:26All the congregation lifted up their voice and cried as a
- 6:29result. Can you imagine?
- 6:30They brought an evil report and all the people now started
- 6:33crying. The Bible says they wept that
- 6:36night. Verse 2 And they murmured
- 6:39against Moses and against Iran and the congregation, and said
- 6:43unto them, would God that we died in the land of Egypt, or
- 6:47would God that we died in the wilderness?
- 6:49They were querying God for the good things that he had done in
- 6:52their life was for and they said to one another, let us make a
- 6:58captain. In other words, let us find a
- 7:01leader from our mindset and let us do what return into Egypt.
- 7:06Can you imagine after going out to and rejoicing, they said,
- 7:12let's go back there. Verse 5.
- 7:17Verse 5 Media. Then Moses and Aaron fell on
- 7:22their faces before the assembly of the congregation of the
- 7:25children of Israel. 6 And Joshua, the son of none, and
- 7:29Caleb, and so on and so forth. They they, they were of them
- 7:34that such the land they rent their clothes in anger.
- 7:37Verse 7. Watch this.
- 7:39And they speak to the company of the children of Israel, saying,
- 7:43the land which we pass through, and such is an exceeding good
- 7:47land. In other words, is this all you
- 7:49are seeing? Don't you see that that is a
- 7:51good land? And they speak unto and the Lord
- 7:56delighted in US, and He will bring us into this land and give
- 8:01it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
- 8:03What's the response of the people?
- 8:05Verse 9 it says only rebel not against the Lord, neither fear
- 8:09the people of the land, for they are bread for us.
- 8:13Two people speaking, they all went there. 1 is saying we be
- 8:16not able. Another one is saying they are
- 8:18bread for us. It says that defense is departed
- 8:21from them and the Lord is with us.
- 8:24Fear them not mindsets. 10 reading to 11:00 And then we
- 8:28stop, look at the response of the congregation, but the
- 8:33congregation beats tone to stone them.
- 8:37And the glory of the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle of
- 8:40the congregation of all the children of Israel.
- 8:43Final verse 11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will these
- 8:47people provoke me through their mindset?
- 8:52How long will it be that they believe me for all the signs
- 8:56which I showed among them? Ladies and gentlemen, even when
- 9:00spirits leave you, your mindset can bind you.
- 9:04Even when spirits leave you, your mindsets can bind you.
- 9:10Listen to my teaching, complete deliverance.
- 9:13I teach them that there are three levels of deliverance #1
- 9:16casting out the spirit influence.
- 9:18Then #2 I call it discipline. I mean deliverance by
- 9:23transformation. There is a software that has
- 9:27programmed men. Listen to me.
- 9:29Africa, my dear continent, there is a mindset, a programming.
- 9:34We complain with all due respect about Western powers taking
- 9:38advantage of us. It's supposedly been
- 9:40independence for more than 60 years for Nigeria, but Egypt is
- 9:44still in US and we continue to replicate our pain.
- 9:48Are we together now? It is easy to blame people.
- 9:55That in itself is a losers mindset.
- 9:59There are many people today who will blame everyone for their
- 10:02failure. Blame father, blame mother,
- 10:05blame government. It doesn't matter whether it's
- 10:07right or wrong. You are absolutely responsible
- 10:10for the outcome of your life and the earlier you took that
- 10:13responsibility, the more liberating it will be for you.
- 10:17Our world is full of people today blaming everybody for
- 10:20their condition and not rising up to take responsibility.
- 10:24The word responsibility comes from the word responsive, the
- 10:27ability to get up and move, get up and do something, mindsets.
- 10:35There are limiting beliefs that keep people poor, I tell you,
- 10:39and many church people have it. With all due respect, many
- 10:44pastors have limiting financial beliefs.
- 10:47They are not bad people, but with respect to the economic
- 10:51system of the Kingdom or they score a big F in terms of their
- 10:55thinking about finances. And you see, because we live in
- 10:59a world where you can excel in one area of your life.
- 11:02Can I tell you this? When it has to do with destiny,
- 11:05you don't transfer awards. You can excel spiritually and
- 11:10fail financially. You can excel maritally and fail
- 11:14financially. You can excel financially and
- 11:17fail military. Every area of your life must be
- 11:21dealt with uniquely. Hallelujah.
- 11:27We have people who know nothing about finances trying to teach
- 11:29about finances and coining up and extending threads of
- 11:34confusion. Many people have submitted
- 11:40themselves sincerely to ignorance, sincerely to
- 11:44ignorance and have become victims of their thinkings.
- 11:48I hope you know that when you listen to a man of God.
- 11:51I hope you know that when you listen to any leader at all, you
- 11:54are submitting your mind is a programming.
- 11:57There is a calibration, a mental work that is happening and you
- 12:02can literally live worse than you came.
- 12:05Not because the individuals are necessarily wrong.
- 12:08Everybody transfers their knowledge and transfers their
- 12:11limitations to is the reason why God will judge teachers for
- 12:18arrogantly communicating things we know nothing about.
- 12:23Are we together when it has to do with money bar?
- 12:29I've seen arrogance. There are people who I tell you
- 12:32with all humility they don't know Jack about finances and yet
- 12:37they will speak with such audacity.
- 12:39No result to show little to next to nothing.
- 12:44Until you can give to the Kingdom without fear, you are
- 12:46not rich. Let me define for you the
- 12:49standard. I'm not talking of having money
- 12:52to take a flight or do things for yourself.
- 12:55If it can solve your problem enough alone.
- 12:58It is not Kingdom wealth. I'm not talking about this
- 13:01selfish, carnal thing. I have money.
- 13:03There's my salary coming. I can take care of my children.
- 13:06No, Sir, the believer is not like that.
- 13:08In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed, until
- 13:13you can give to the Kingdom. Many people you see who try to
- 13:18teach about finances are not even give us in the first place.
- 13:24Are we learning? There is a mindset.
- 13:34How does this mindset work? It's a self sabotaging belief.
- 13:39I'll give you a few of these mindsets one day.
- 13:42Go better put a big X on it. Time does not change anything.
- 13:47Decisions. Time only reveals decisions.
- 13:51Decisions sponsor changes. Are we together?
- 13:56Money is the root of all evil. The Bible never said that.
- 13:59It says the love of money is the root of all evil.
- 14:02You know what that means? That most evil in the world are
- 14:05motivated by that foundation of lost errors and unholy affinity
- 14:11for money. Hallelujah.
- 14:17The Bible says to not trusting on such an riches, but he never
- 14:21says to have them. There's a man in the Bible
- 14:23called a rich fool. The first time 2 words that
- 14:26should not be used were used on one person because foolishness
- 14:29does not produce wealth. Wealth is a product of wisdom.
- 14:32But this man was a rich fool and his foolishness was because he
- 14:36trusted himself. There was no purpose connected
- 14:38to it. He said my soul find rest and
- 14:42God said tonight your soul is #3 There are the actions and
- 14:51activities that manifest poverty.
- 14:53Do not forget, I'm showing you the tripartite expression of
- 14:57poverty. One, the spirit of poverty.
- 15:00I've shown you how it works #2 the mindset of poverty.
- 15:04It programs you so that you keep making self sabotaging
- 15:08decisions. Let me repeat that again.
- 15:11It programs you so that you make self-destructive decisions.
- 15:16Spending all you have. Poor mindset.
- 15:20Lying to live a false life so social media can say who's
- 15:24working for you. Poor mindset.
- 15:27Falsehood is expensive. Authenticities by far cheaper
- 15:32than falsehood. Why fake?
- 15:35What can be real? There are people today who go to
- 15:38Europe, they rent Rolls Royces, rent Rolexes in stores and stand
- 15:45behind aircrafts and say look at Jehovah Jireh.
- 15:50That's not the kind of message I'm preaching.
- 15:55And put pressure on themselves and as soon as they are done,
- 15:59they're in trouble. Because if I see you coming down
- 16:03from a private jet and I say help me with 10,000 and you say
- 16:06I don't have it means you're a liar.
- 16:09There are people sitting in business class.
- 16:12I'm sorry to say this not to insult you.
- 16:14You can't sit in business class with a research card of 100
- 16:17naira. You are not there.
- 16:18When you grow, everything around you grows to defend where you
- 16:23have come. I told you that success is not
- 16:26what you pursue. Success is who you become.
- 16:29By reason, I mean what you attract by reason of who you
- 16:33become. The greatest way to be wealthy
- 16:35is to grow. Our world is full of very fake
- 16:40people. There are people staying in a
- 16:42House of 10 million naira. They are owing three years rent.
- 16:46But the ego to get out and take. I'm showing you how limiting
- 16:50beliefs they are not under attack.
- 16:52Even if they fall down and stand up, that decision will keep them
- 16:55there. There are students who are
- 16:58living like like consultants, more expensive than their
- 17:01lecturer, carries the father's car and is riding around and
- 17:07people say you are a strong man. How about ladies?
- 17:12With all due respect, there are ladies wearing their rent.
- 17:18Yes, Sir, I'm not insulting you if you are not there, be proud
- 17:23of where you are. Listen, let me teach you
- 17:25something. A fake life is expensive.
- 17:28Get away from it. And can I tell you this, Don't
- 17:33let the people who are now accomplished bully you.
- 17:36If someone has done well and is laughing at you, tell him.
- 17:39Don't worry, every new version is an improvement of the old
- 17:43one. Gentlemen, if all you have is
- 17:49the ability to trek, trek with honor while listening to what
- 17:52I'm teaching you and I will tell you, I can predict how long else
- 17:57you will be trekking. Mindsets.
- 18:11There are people who come to look for capital.
- 18:14They are wearing a designer shoe, wearing a designer jacket,
- 18:18a designer watch, a designer, everything.
- 18:21And they said they are looking for capital.
- 18:23How much? 1,000,000?
- 18:24It's on you already. It's on you.
- 18:27God answer your prayer. Let me tell you this, ladies and
- 18:31gentlemen, I submit to you packaging walks when there is
- 18:36content. Packaging walks when there is
- 18:44because you see, you name every bottle by what is inside.
- 18:48There are bottles there. If I hold if I put water in a
- 18:52bottle, what is it called a bottle of?
- 18:55If I pour the water and I put cashew nuts inside, it becomes a
- 18:59bottle of. If I put the cashew nut and I
- 19:02put oil inside, it becomes a bottle of.
- 19:05That bottle is you. You will be named by what is
- 19:08inside you. If what is inside you is
- 19:15foolishness and outside is is nice, you just look at a good
- 19:19container with nothing inside. And this is where many men of
- 19:29God need to teach God's people. It is not just about binding and
- 19:34casting. There is a place for that.
- 19:36You can bind and cast every spirit, every generational
- 19:40causes. Let me tell you the truth,
- 19:43generational causes are maintained by generational
- 19:45mindsets. There is a software when you
- 19:52have a generational mindset of failure, it will sponsor
- 19:56spirits. Familiar spirits they are
- 19:58called. I've done several teachings on
- 20:04finances. Please make reference to them.
- 20:06I teach extensively on mindsets. Let me give you a few of them.
- 20:10Get the message, The mentality of a victor.
- 20:14Get the teaching series The power to get wealth.
- 20:18Get the teaching series Seasons of Abundance.
- 20:21I have done a number of teachings, is my gift to have
- 20:24many who are interested in stepping into divine supplies
- 20:34mindsets. Can I tell you this?
- 20:37You can cast out the spirit of poverty with one demand, one
- 20:41proclamation, but the mindset of poverty, that's where the hard
- 20:46work comes. Are we together?
- 20:49You profit not of what you do. You profit of the mindset that
- 20:55support what you do. That is why two people can do
- 20:59the same thing. One can fail woefully and the
- 21:02other one can succeed. Because your mindset is the
- 21:05battery that powers your actions.
- 21:08Your mindset is the battery that powers your actions.
- 21:13The wall clock does not move because it is new, it moves
- 21:16because there is a battery that is alive connected to it.
- 21:19That battery is your mindset. Self time in Jesus name, please
- 21:24shout it. Say in Jesus name.
- 21:26I decree and I declare that I have the mindset and I receive
- 21:33the mindset and I keep receiving the mindset that makes for
- 21:38abundance. Hallelujah.
- 21:42There are people who have what I call the childish mindset for
- 21:45abundance. It's not a wrong mindset, it's
- 21:49only that it's childish. They run away from poverty and
- 21:53jump and shout and don't take responsibility.
- 21:55They just listen to one message and jump around sometimes and
- 21:58then they don't get anything. That's not what I'm teaching
- 22:00you. It's not about shouting.
- 22:03I cannot be poor. That's it.
- 22:04There's a place for that, but you must embrace the thinking
- 22:10you upgrade yourself by light. You will begin to attract to
- 22:13your life what looks like Doctor Stanley's here.
- 22:17Let me use him for an example. I have the opportunity to know
- 22:21when the project that you call the Del Boro now one of the
- 22:25best, finest of the hotels available in our nation.
- 22:28And we're proud of it. Really, we're proud of it.
- 22:31Yes, we are unapologetically so. We're proud of it.
- 22:35Hosted precedence, hosted kings and nobles.
- 22:39And you see, let me tell you this, it came because of a
- 22:42superior belief. If you don't believe you can,
- 22:46you can't. Is is said often a business.
- 22:49People will say whether you believe you can or not.
- 22:52You are right. That is true.
- 22:56I read a story. That story is by Elle
- 22:58Nightingale. He said a man was going into a
- 23:02new city and he met a farmer and he told the farmer, I said,
- 23:05listen, I hear that in this place there's high rate of
- 23:08crime, people kill, people rape, there's violence.
- 23:11And the farmer looked at him and said, you are right.
- 23:14And the man passed. A few hours later, another man
- 23:17came bobbling, smiling and said, I hear this place is a nice
- 23:20place. People sing, people are vibrant,
- 23:23they love one another. The farmer looked at him and
- 23:26said, you are right. Both of them are right.
- 23:29What you are looking for is what you will find.
- 23:31If you are looking for Satan, you will find him.
- 23:34If you are looking for failure, you will find it.
- 23:36If you are looking for trouble, like we say, you will find it.
- 23:39For me, I'm looking for God, I'm looking for greatness.
- 23:43I'm looking for passion. And I've seen that the way to
- 23:46attract them, the way to look for them is to attract them
- 23:50through my transformation. Obtain grace to keep working on
- 23:53your mind. Faith comes by hearing and
- 23:56hearing by the Word of God is someone learning #3 The third
- 24:00aspect were discussing Jehovah Jireh showing you how God
- 24:07supplies in abundance. There are actions and activities
- 24:12that manifest poverty in the life of an individual.
- 24:15So there are times that the spirit component is solved, done
- 24:20with, sorted, the mindset is sorted and sometimes your
- 24:25actions and your activities now cancel out everything you've
- 24:29gone through. Let me give you an example. 3
- 24:31scriptures quickly, Proverbs 20 and verse 4.
- 24:34Please write it down. And then we read Proverbs 20 and
- 24:38verse four. I want to give you an example of
- 24:40actions and activities that keep people poor ready.
- 24:43Let's read together. 12GO the slogard.
- 24:46The word slogard means a lazy man.
- 24:48The slogard will not claw by reason of the cold.
- 24:53Therefore shall he beg in harvest and have nothing.
- 24:56NIV, please can you give us NIV? So we read a more modern
- 25:00translation. Want to go?
- 25:02A slogger does not plow in season, so at harvest time he
- 25:07looks but finds nothing. There are people who never
- 25:11strike when the iron is hot. They hear that there's there's a
- 25:15job opening. They feel too proud.
- 25:17They say I'm, well, I'm, I'm two years or five years and I'm
- 25:20tired. One day my uncle said he's going
- 25:23to give me a job. So I trust my uncle.
- 25:25I know he's a good man. They don't take actions that
- 25:29help to make supplies happen in their lives.
- 25:32Hallelujah. Proverbs 1314, Proverbs 13 and
- 25:39verse 14. Did I get that right?
- 25:451314 or Proverbs 14 23 let's go to 14231423 is a scripture I'm
- 25:54looking for. Please give it to us beautiful
- 25:57in all label everybody look up please in all label there is
- 26:02what can we have NLT or any of the modern versions.
- 26:06I like to see what it says there work brings profit.
- 26:11But Mayor talk, you know what Mayor talk is, Chairman?
- 26:19Mayor talk, there are many young people going nowhere.
- 26:27They call themselves expensive names without the grace to be
- 26:30diligent to defend it. Mayor talk, you know, I mean, I
- 26:36mean, I'm a millionaire. It's just that I'm a humble.
- 26:39I don't want to say anything. You know my.
- 26:48There are actions, listen and activities that leads to
- 26:54poverty. Show me a man who wakes up in
- 26:57the morning and carries his his CV in the name of Jesus, I know
- 27:02that I've been delivered. I shouted Amen, spirit of
- 27:06poverty, you are gone by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- 27:09I will find out whether there's a job opening instead of
- 27:12gossiping online. Available jobs enter and the
- 27:16spirit of grace will route some job somewhere that is paying you
- 27:21so much and one thing will lead to the other.
- 27:23And favor just comes like that. Can I tell you ladies and
- 27:27gentlemen, laziness as a case study will always lead to
- 27:32poverty. Even if you are anointed,
- 27:35laziness will always lead to poverty.
- 27:39I'm sorry to say there are preachers who are lazy.
- 27:43Always resting for doing nothing.
- 27:46Always resting for doing nothing.
- 27:48There are business people who are lazy.
- 27:50You open your shop by 12 and close it 5:00 PM for fellowship.
- 27:55Nothing wrong with the fellowship, but you are going to
- 27:58be poor because you are not taking your work seriously.
- 28:02Are we together? Have you seen people like that?
- 28:05Customers come and knock, they wake them from sleep.
- 28:09We want to buy the crate of minerals.
- 28:11And the people yawn and and say why now?
- 28:13Yeah, it's too early. 830 No, Sir, No, Sir.
- 28:21Listen, let me tell you whether you, you've heard me tell you
- 28:24whether you serve God or serve Satan, the one thing both of
- 28:28them will not tolerate is laziness.
- 28:30Whether it's God you serve or Satan, in case you don't love
- 28:35God and you go to Satan, you will still work hard.
- 28:42At least the one thing we know that both God and Satan agree on
- 28:46is that lazy people have no future.
- 28:49Whether you work for the Dark Kingdom, you will still not be
- 28:51promoted. Are we together?
- 29:00I've had back-to-back troubles. By this morning, I was in Lagos
- 29:03for a conference. I return back.
- 29:06I'm still standing. There are many young people
- 29:08behaving as if they are 70 years.
- 29:10Let me tell you the truth. The Bible says I must walk the
- 29:13works of him. After the oil comes on your
- 29:15head, use your hand walk. Let me speak to every gentleman
- 29:20in Kolonia here. Listen, before you clap, my dear
- 29:25people, you know I'm, I'm, I'm for you.
- 29:27Where? Gentleman, walk Monday morning
- 29:31tomorrow don't wake up and you are snoring and stretching and
- 29:34saying I'm anointed, get up and walk.
- 29:37What work do I do? Read if you don't have a job,
- 29:41learn from those who know what you're doing.
- 29:43Pray, prepare, go and find some place to intern while you are
- 29:48waiting. But by all means, fight
- 29:51laziness, carrying certificates, wearing suits and saying I'm a
- 29:55graduate. Thank God for that.
- 29:57Be gainfully employed. If a job does not come, make
- 30:00Zobo, make something. Make doughnuts.
- 30:03I will pray for you. Make it.
- 30:08If one door closes, cry for a few minutes and force another
- 30:11one to open. That's the mindset of champions.
- 30:15Sit down telling us what happened last year.
- 30:17You are not the only one who went to it.
- 30:18We're all in Nigeria here. Flimsy excuses you find people
- 30:25make. Well you know the way it is our
- 30:28our job. You've been hearing what is
- 30:30going around. We all had it.
- 30:31You are not the only one who was affected.
- 30:36The spirit of laziness. I curse it from your life.
- 30:41Please take seriously what I'm saying.
- 30:43I curse it from your life. Go and learn tailoring if you
- 30:48cannot do anything, go and learn to be an apprentice somewhere
- 30:53and don't meet somebody to help you at your own terms when you
- 30:58are in need. Adaptation is proof of honor.
- 31:01Don't meet someone greater than you and say we are colleagues.
- 31:04No, there's no colleague mentality in the world of growth
- 31:08and knowledge and wealth. Are we together?
- 31:11When you want to learn from the person who is ahead of you,
- 31:14humble yourself, receive instructions and learn.
- 31:18There are many arrogant people who want to be wealthy at their
- 31:21own terms. They want to be great at their
- 31:24own terms. Oh, I hear that there's a store
- 31:28and you're looking for a foreman.
- 31:29Well, I can manage around. How much do you have?
- 31:32The man does not have anything. He sits down there and he's
- 31:35embarrassed. Customers come.
- 31:37He cannot stand up to greet them because the person he's seen is
- 31:40his classmates. So what?
- 31:42Let the classmates see you so that when God leaves you, you
- 31:45will know that you did not walk your way by manipulation.
- 31:50Are we together? The man who does not have and is
- 31:54too big to receive and too big to learn is the one who will
- 31:58remain in that condition forever.
- 32:01I tell you, if I did not succeed with my life as a man of God, I
- 32:05will humble myself. Even if he's somebody I raised,
- 32:08I will humble myself and learn. It does not kill.
- 32:12It's better to humble yourself and learn and grow.
- 32:15Which one is more embarrassing? To learn earlier and bail
- 32:20yourself out, or to stand in pride and then you find out
- 32:23everybody has gone and left you alone there.
- 32:30Our generation is an arrogant generation.
- 32:33No results. And yet everybody is everybody's
- 32:36colleague. This colleague mentality.
- 32:38We are colleagues to fathers who are colleague to senior mentors
- 32:42who are colleague to people with potent, undeniable results.
- 32:46No learning, no humility to learn.
- 32:53Tonight's teaching is hard. Don't worry, it's out of love.
- 32:56This is how to prosper you. You don't prosper people by
- 32:59massaging their back. You give them a push.
- 33:03Are we together? Some of you have been pampered
- 33:08since they gave birth to you. That's why God sent me to your
- 33:10life to give you another side of how people make it.
- 33:14Nobody will come and say, you know, please be serious with
- 33:17you. It doesn't work that way, Sir.
- 33:19It doesn't work that way in life.
- 33:23You force your portion to come to you.
- 33:25Did you hear what I said? You force your portion to come
- 33:29to you. Let me give you the track.
