  What do you do with what God has given you in order to increase
• 0:06
  it? Thanksgiving.
• 0:07
  Psalm 67, Five to seven Thanksgiving.
• 0:11
  There is no increase if you don't know how to thank and
• 0:15
  praise God for the seeds he's giving you, for whatever he's
• 0:19
  giving you, for the level He's brought you.
• 0:21
  Let the people praise thee, O God, let all the people praise
• 0:25
  thee. Verse 6 He says, Then shall the
• 0:29
  earth yield the earth. That talks about every other
• 0:34
  thing connected to the earth, including the inhabitants.
• 0:38
  You thank God for what He's giving you.
• 0:40
  The earth will yield its increase and even God, our God
• 0:46
  shall bless us. Verse 7, it says God shall bless
• 0:49
  us and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
• 0:53
  Thanksgiving. Father, you have given me this
• 0:58
  ministry, four people, one small church.
• 1:02
  I want to thank you that there is somebody on earth willing to
• 1:05
  listen to me. I give you all the praise and
• 1:07
  glory and you celebrate Him as if you have 1000 branches and
• 1:11
  God says for me earth yield your increase.
• 1:15
  Are we together now? You are trusting God for a
• 1:21
  project and all that you have is 10,000 naira and your budget is
• 1:25
  10 million hundred million. It looks like mockery to
• 1:28
  celebrate 10,000 whereas your budget is 100 million.
• 1:31
  You might not even ever think of conceiving that amount.
• 1:34
  Give thanks. Remember the five loaf and two
• 1:37
  fish? Remember the oil in the House of
• 1:40
  the woman. Lord, I want to thank you.
• 1:43
  I want to thank you. I want to thank you.
• 1:46
  You are trusting God for a great life.
• 1:48
  But he gave you two children here and there.
• 1:51
  They are not yet. They have not yet emerged.
• 1:53
  But give God thanks. Four years old and two years old
• 1:58
  and you are converting another woman's child who is already 30
• 2:01
  years and feeding the mother 35 years and feeding the mother.
• 2:04
  No, God has given you one president and one ambassador.
• 2:08
  It's just that you've not seen them.
• 2:10
  You are calling them babies. Heaven is calling them leaders,
• 2:13
  influencers. If we can recognize the things
• 2:18
  that God has given us will stop being envious and bitter at what
• 2:23
  God gave others. Because you will be surprised
• 2:25
  that what you are seeing in others that you are celebrating
• 2:28
  is a far more inferior harvest than the seeds you are carrying.
• 2:33
  If you can grow it to become a harvest Thanksgiving someone
• 2:42
  lift your hands where you are in one minute and say, Father,
• 2:45
  thank you all. Now I'm learning.
• 2:49
  You made me exceptionally intelligent.
• 2:52
  I have never taken the time to honor you for my intelligence.
• 2:55
  Cleared all my papers in one sitting, cleared everything in
• 2:59
  one sitting. And I was told that only when
• 3:02
  you have money before, you're a great man.
• 3:04
  Now I'm saying thank you. You made me handsome.
• 3:07
  You made me beautiful. You gave me a good heart.
• 3:10
  I'm a kind and a sacrificial person.
• 3:13
  I can't give anything, including myself, and I have not really
• 3:18
  looked at it that that is an unusual ability.
• 3:21
  I'm saying thank you. Go ahead and tell him thank you.
• 3:27
  And now let the weak say I am strong, Let the poor say I am
• 3:36
  rich because. I used to pray and.
• 3:46
  Now let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am
• 3:56
  rich. Because of what?
• 3:59
  The Lord? Father, I thank you for the
• 4:10
  grace you have shown me that I'm going to become an apostle to
• 4:14
  the nations, a prophet to the nations.
• 4:16
  I have not yet emerged, but I've seen the seed in me.
• 4:20
  The last time they gave me an opportunity to lead prayer for 5
• 4:23
  minutes. As humble as I was, it was
• 4:26
  evidence that Your hand was upon me.
• 4:29
  I know I'm not yet there, but Lord, I take time to praise You.
• 4:33
  I have only two revelations. I don't have much, but the
• 4:36
  little that I have, I bring it before you and I say thank you.
• 4:42
  Someone say thank you. Someone say thank you.
• 4:46
  Say it or say thank you Jesus. Find a way of telling him thank
• 4:51
  you in the next one minute. Sorry, are you saying thank you,
• 4:54
  Jesus? Thank him, thank you.
• 4:58
  The grace for leadership has always followed you.
• 5:01
  The grace for influence has always followed you.
• 5:04
  You've always found favor with men.
• 5:07
  Even when the door closes over orders, once you are there, the
• 5:11
  door must open. Do you think it's just because
• 5:14
  of who you are is a grace? If you don't celebrate it, it
• 5:17
  will not grow. Take a minute, you are not
• 5:24
  wasting your time. I'm showing you how to grow
• 5:26
  everything God has given you. Are you praying now?
• 5:36
  I praise. You.
• 5:38
  I praise you. Oh Lord, I praise you.
• 5:46
  I praise you. Think of where God took you from
• 5:50
  in. My life, Lord, I see what you're
• 5:58
  doing. One more time, Lord.
• 6:04
  I lift my hands. It breaks on your name.
• 6:13
  I leave my hands in rage of. Your name all over the world.
• 6:18
  Let's lift your hands on singing one time to him.
• 6:21
  I praise you, I praise you, oh Lord.
• 6:29
  I praise you. I praise you, oh Lord, in my
• 6:37
  life. Lord, I see what you're doing.
• 6:44
  One more time, Lord. I leave my hands in grace of
• 6:53
  your name. I leave my hands in grace of
• 7:01
  your. Name.
• 7:06
  I like you you to think of where you would have been now if God
• 7:13
  did not help you. Forget about the crown.
• 7:15
  Now let's take a minute. Take away that golden crown.
• 7:19
  Throw it on one side. Remember the little boy of
• 7:22
  yesteryears, the little girl of yesterdays, the undergraduate of
• 7:26
  yesteryears, the unmarried woman of yesteryears, the unmarried
• 7:31
  man of yesterdays. If you can think about His
• 7:35
  faithfulness, then you can thank Him.
• 7:39
  Bye. Bye.
• 7:40
  We thank you. We thank you.
• 7:48
  We thank you, my father. Thank you.
• 7:57
  Thank you, thank you, thank you. I thank you, thank you, thank
• 8:17
  you. Let me tell you this, foolish
• 8:31
  people will think you are wasting your time.
• 8:33
  Those who don't know how God lives, the same God who has
• 8:37
  taken men from grace to grass, go and ask Nebuchadnezzar.
• 8:46
  The God of increase also brings down.
• 8:49
  In our lifetime, I've seen God humble the pride of arrogant men
• 8:55
  because they were not laid too hard to say thank you.
• 9:06
  With our hands lifted, I to the sky and the world wonders why
• 9:13
  we'll just tell them we love in our king oh, we just tell them
• 9:19
  we love in our. King, I'll just.
• 9:26
  Tell them I'm thank you, my king.
• 9:30
  Oh. I just tell.
• 9:33
  Them I'm thank you. Thank you, Jesus, for Kolonia,
• 9:41
  the ministry that was once meeting outside on the ground
• 9:45
  around the soccer way. You've made it a global wonder
• 9:48
  to many. How could we be so stupid to not
• 9:51
  say thank you? Thank you, some of you.
• 9:54
  A few years ago, less than five years ago, you will not be able
• 9:58
  to buy a loaf of bread comfortably.
• 10:01
  A loaf, One loaf. I'm not talking of one loaf.
• 10:04
  Today, by the message of God, you have your own house, you
• 10:08
  have your own car. Thank you, Jesus, Give me one
• 10:17
  minute. Let me do my own loaf before he.
• 10:52
  The one who can lift ordinary men from the ground, from the
• 10:56
  floor, and place them with Princess.
• 11:01
  Be praised, be praised. Be praised, my father, be
• 11:11
  praised. Let the world see us as we
• 11:14
  praise you be. Praised be praised be praised.
• 11:26
  Say one more time, my people. Hash for colonial global.
• 11:36
  For every minister, for Joshua Salman, for your mercy, for
• 11:43
  helping. Us see that we should put within
• 11:46
  our spirit. Just the voices.
• 12:08
  Oh, I look at my yesterday. My yesterday is right before me.
• 12:11
  As I'm singing, I still see the young me, the weak me, the
• 12:15
  struggling me, the average me, the not known me.
• 12:19
  I see it before my vision as I'm on my knees.
• 12:22
  The helper of men, the one who lifts.
• 12:26
  The one who holds the hand of a man and can walk him through
• 12:29
  darkness until he comes to light.
• 12:32
  The one who can veto the expectations of wicked men and
• 12:36
  still bring his purposes to pass in the lives of men.
• 12:43
  And I will worship you forever, love you forever because this
• 12:50
  God is too good. I will worship you forever, love
• 12:58
  you forever because my God is too good.
• 13:06
  I will worship you forever, love you forever, because.
• 13:19
  Let me tell you something. I want to tell you one secret.
• 13:22
  You see the way I'm on my knees after every service without
• 13:26
  fail. May God forgive me if I've
• 13:29
  omitted anyone. When I get back home, I get down
• 13:33
  on my knees and I say, my God and my Father, your boy has come
• 13:38
  to say thank you. Thank you for making the world
• 13:40
  walk. Thank you for the miracles,
• 13:43
  especially the miracle services as I return back.
• 13:47
  I don't care who is saying what, commanding and saying great
• 13:50
  things to Apostle I I first kneel down.
• 13:53
  Sometimes I'm overwhelmed. I just take a minute and lie
• 13:56
  down flat and say Lord, this is your boy, not apostle.
• 14:00
  This is the one you have lifted, the one you have held, the one
• 14:05
  you have held. I hope you don't think I'm
• 14:08
  wasting your time. The.
• 14:11
  One you helped has come. To worship you.
• 14:18
  I'm the one you raised. I've come to worship you.
• 14:26
  The one you've helped has come to worship you.
• 14:34
  The one you raised has come to worship.
• 14:41
  Hallelujah, you want to see increase in your life.
• 14:45
  When you find what God has given you, don't wait till it becomes
• 14:49
  a harvest. Thank him like a madman.
• 14:53
  Thank him like a madman He gave you.
• 14:56
  He moved you from one room to a two-bedroom flat.
• 15:00
  It is still leaking, but roll on the ground and thank Him.
• 15:03
  That's the way to get out of that place.
• 15:07
  You are trusting God for a job with CBN with an oil and gas
• 15:11
  company, but he gave you a job with one real estate company,
• 15:15
  40,000 Roll on the ground and thank him and say Lord that I am
• 15:19
  employable, thank him. Nothing dies when Thanksgiving
• 15:26
  is added to it, nothing dies. Nothing dies.
• 15:32
  Please be seated if you can. I'll show you an irrefutable
• 15:41
  principle. Can I tell you this?
• 15:47
  Let me give everybody an assignment in righteousness.
• 15:50
  Take at least one day from tomorrow till the weekend.
• 15:53
  Find anyone day. Just take at least 10 or 15
• 15:57
  minutes. Don't do it generally, even if
• 16:00
  you are husband and wife. This between you and God.
• 16:03
  Lock yourself in a room or a corner somewhere.
• 16:06
  Play a worship song. I'd like you to dance and roll
• 16:10
  before the Lord. Place your ATM on the ground.
• 16:13
  Place your certificate if you have it on the ground and cry
• 16:16
  before the God of heaven and say Lord I am sorry for thinking it
• 16:20
  is by my strength. I don't have a job but I have a
• 16:23
  certificate. Let me place it on the ground.
• 16:26
  There's 1000 naira in my ATM. But I thank you that I have an
• 16:31
  ATM. Are we together now?
• 16:35
  My son is in the prison. Place his picture on the ground
• 16:38
  and roll before God. I'm happy I have a son who is
• 16:41
  alive. The prodigal son came back home.
• 16:44
  I know my own will come back home.
• 16:46
  You have a child that is autistic.
• 16:48
  Listen, if you minimize the time for complaining and turn it to
• 16:52
  Thanksgiving, you will not stay in the same position for a long
• 16:55
  time. I will tell you why many people
• 16:57
  stay at the same level of anointing, at the same level of
• 17:00
  increase at the same level of everything.
• 17:03
  We are always quick to look at what God is doing for others and
• 17:07
  then that competitive spirit. We don't return back to say Lord
• 17:11
  thank you for what you are doing for brother a, sister a but I I
• 17:15
  must say thank you for the one who are doing in my life too.
• 17:23
  The key is to increase one recognition. 2 Thanksgiving.
