The entrance of your word gives light and understanding onto the simple. We thank you for this day that the Lord has made. Indeed, will rejoice and will be glad in it. Bless our hearts. And be glorified. For in Jesus' name we pray revenge some Thank you again to you and your dear wife. Congratulations to our graduates. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that it will go from glory to glory. Amen, please be seated. It's a long day, and so. Let's start on a good note so that we'll allow time for other very important activities. Yesterday we. Just put a cap on my session, just a prophetic charge, I would say, And so I'll just use. The time that I have to build a few things. My point of focus yesterday was to bring us to a realization that life says greatness, victory, mastery. Dominion. Is a product of engaging specific kingdom keys, or in other words, there's a price to pay, and that not everything in the kingdom is a gift. There are dimensions in the kingdom that are rewards. They are proof that you have. Worked in keeping with certain things. We said yesterday that God is a god of patterns. Remember Leviticals chapter nine and verse six. When you engage life in a certain way, when you engage certain kingdom keys, there are very specific outcomes that will be a lot. So for this morning, let's look at the final part of my discussion, Deuteronomy. Chapter one. Will look at six to eight. Deuteronomy one six to eight. The Lord our God spoken to us in Horeb, saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount. Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount. Then it says, turn you and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and onto the places nigh there, onto in the plain, in the hills, the vale the south, by the seaside, the land of the Canaanites, and onto Lebanon and the great river, the River Euphrates. Verse eight. Behold, I have set the land before you. This is my own part. I have set it before you your assignment. Go in and possess the land which the Lord swear onto your father's Abraham Isaac Jacob, to give on to them and their seed after them. The Lord bless the reading of his word in Jesus name. One last scripture, Revelation chapter four and verse one. I find this a very profound scripture. I've done a few teachings around this scripture. It impacted my life so much. The Bible says, after this, I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was, as it were, of a trumpet talking with me, which said, come up hither, and I. Will show you the things that must be thereafter. You must understand that Revelations chapter four comes after one two three. Those three chapters were already spectacular. John was in the isle of Patmos. He had seen so many things he'd written the letters to the seven Churches, that when the then Asia Minor representing the Universal Church came with messages, he had seen the similitude of God, the brightness of his face. I mean, you would think they were not room for anything more. But the Bible says, after this, after all those encounters, after all those dimensions, is that I still look. I was not distracted by the results of the past. After this, I looked. Many people will not look again after this. That the means Revelations one, Revelations two, Revelations three. If you see what John say in chapter one two three is enough to stop looking. I mean, what else I've seen Jesus, I've returned to the churches. But he said, after this, it takes time, and not to look after some this. After the success, I still looked. After the victory, I still looked. After I won yesterday, I still looked, he says. When I look, I saw that. A door was still open. Doors talk of opportunities, doors, talk of continuation to your journey. After this, I looked, and I saw a door was opened, and a voice spoke through that door. And even though he was already in heaven, he said, come up either. Can you imagine that that you are already in heaven? And he said, come up. There are some things you cannot from this height. You need to come up hither. You have seen the things that will be, but I need to show you the things that will happen after. It was when he came up hither that he now saw the worship of the land. He never saw that in chapter one, chapter two, chapter three. He saw the seven lamp stands, and he saw the similitude of Jesus. But he never saw the things that happen in the throne room until he came up higher. Then he now saw the worship of the lamb Allelujah. There is always room for more. No matter what God has done in and through your life, there is always room for more. Now, moving higher and upwards immediately suggests that you are moving against gravity. Flight has taught us that when you are moving, especially when you are lifting, it's one of the most delicate parts the lifting of a plane and the landing. In fact, that is one of the areas that. Measure the professionalism of a pilot. When the flight is on autopilot, it doesn't you can literally walk away as a pilot and. Even go to bed and do some other things. But lifting and landing, especially when you're rising, you're rising against the tides. There are times where the plane is about to lift, they preempt you that because of the weather condition, the ride is going to be a bit bumpy, No cause for concern. If you find a plane bouncing, you see that now. And once it hits the wrong way and lifts in seconds, literally seconds, you're in the air. But that accendance will continue. The pilot gets determined and then he gets to a point where they beep you and they say you can now do some other things, maybe remove your seat. Belt, and so on and so forth. So it's very very important to know that moving higher and upwards is always against gravity. Like you learned yesterday, the gravity of history will want to pull. You down, the gravity of. Systems will want to pull you down, the gravity of men, antagonists will want to pull you down. All of these have an emotional, psychological gravitational force that wants to pull you down. Your history, your background wants to pull you down. The system, unfortunately that is already by default fighting you by reason of your conviction, trying to pull you down away together, and then antagonists. The Bible called them wicked and unreasonable men, for. He said, not all men have faith. There are people who are just instruments in the hand of Satan, who are determined to perpetually be in partnership with him to thwart everything God, everything destiny. May you not find some people in your life, and if you do find them, the grace to navigate your path away from them, receive it in Jesus name. Now I'll give you very quickly. We touched on a little yesterday. But let me walk with the time that I have to give you. Maybe four or five of these keys. They double as the price, the price it takes for accendance in life and destiny. What does it take. For a man for a woman to accent. Against the tide of your history, your background, against the tide of system and startle school against the tide of the antagonisms that surround your You know your environment and all of that. Number one, The. First price you must pay if you desire to accent, to advance, to press, to go forward, to become a voice in any generation, is a burning desire. You must have a genuine desire for growth. You must have a genuine desire for increase. You must have a genuine desire for advancement, a burning desire. It must be a desire that eats you up. It must be a desire that can help you overcome the inertia of statle school. A burning desire Micah Chapter two and verse ten. I like us to read that scripture together, Micah Chapter two and verse ten. Ready, let's read one to go arise, ye and depart, for this is not your rest. Because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction, It says, Arise and depart, for this is not your rest. This is a good place, or it is not your rest. This is a great financial level, but it is not your rest. It's a great dimension of the anointing. What it is not your rest. At this level there you will not be able to conquer much land. I like what Reverend Sam said before I came up. He immediately from his statement, I know there's a basic cause, there's an intermediate course or something like that, and then there is an advanced course. He encouraged everyone, but. He was honest enough to tell them, Look, there's a journey at every level. It's important to celebrate where you are, but don't get too distracted with where you are. It says, arise and depart. You know what it means to depart, especially when you are not at a place of failure. It makes sense to rise and leave the place of failure. But if you have to rise and leave success for greater success, it is difficult. There are many people today who began to lose because they succeeded. Their losses began from the last time they succeeded. A pointing desire. I like it. Paul puts it beautifully speaking to the church, and Philippi said, this one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind. He never said forgetting the bad things. He never said forgetting the disappointment. Provided they are things behind, whether they are yesterday's trophy, whether they are yesterday's success, once they are behind, except forgetting the things that are behind and reaching forth for the things that are before me. Then he uses a beautiful word that should be verse fourteen, the first two words please everybody want to go one more time? One more time. He didn't just say I desire. He said, I press. I press against gravity, but I press against popular opinion. What I press never been done in my family. But I press never been done. When the carrier was met by the angel and they announced there soon arrival of John, and they said that his name would be called ahd no, no, no, no, no, what kind of thing is this? Zacharia's mouth was shot so you would not use the anointing to destroy the destiny of the prophet, because that will have an implication on Jesus allelujah. And later on, when they were about to search for the names, they said, John, oh, say no, if not, this kind of name is not used here, And his mouth would not open until he agreed, even though it was was not usual when he wrote John without prayer his mouth opened. The fact that it's not being done before does not mean it is wrong. Allelujah. Somebody must always touch something, a new order, a new dimension. I prayed for you in the name of Jesus. Let the grace to. Pioneer new frontiers in the spirit, in life, in destiny. That grace be released upon you. There were some things we never knew where possible in the body of Christ until someone believed God enough and took that step to a burning desire, a burning desire. One of the. Ways you cultivate a burning desire is to examine the consequences of stagnation and stuntedness. When you examine. The consequences of stagnation and stuntedness, it can help cultivate a burning desire in your heart. Jesus said in John chapter fifteen, it says every branch that does not bear fruit, I will cut off. You know what Jesus did to a victory that did not produce. He didn't advise it, he didn't counsel it. That's the epitome of love. The Bible says he cost it, and it was not the time of figs, but provided it was connected to the earth. He said, you should still justify the fact that you are receiving from the heath. And it cost it. He said, no man eat of you again, and by the morrow it had withered. Jesus seemed to have zero tolerance for fruitfulness, zero, no excuses whatsoever. Five loaf and two fish, he said. Put the people down and feed them. He said, Master, don't cost trouble. You finished a great crusaid. Allow these people to quietly go home. He said, no, I wouldn't leave them that way. Get them something to say. He believe it's a yes, wages. We can't have enough to. Feed these people. A bonning desire. Many people do not have a bonding desire to be annointed. Many people do not have a bonding desire to damage ignorance. They have a casual, passive, replaceable desire. I think I don't like where I am, but I'm not sure it's particularly. I know I'm not that prayer for but I'm not the only one where like that in our family. Once you hear those kinds of statements, once you still have excuses, your desire is not strong enough. I think it was doctor Lumide Manuel or So. I heard he was speaking, you know. Talking about some finance thing, and he said that. He met a young lady who came for one of his sessions, according to him, just trying to pick a lesson from the story. And she said she. Wanted to do well, but that this thing they were teaching or So was not working. And he looked at her. He said, your wife is not strong, He said, I look at you. You are trying to look for money and everything you're wearing is already someone's huture. It's because you don't have a strong why you know what pursuits you determines how you run. If it's a fly, you can wave your hands while. You distract yourself, But when you hear the row of a lion, you run with the might of a warrior. There are people running because of the awareness of the consequences. I know where I'm coming from. I know what it means if I don't pray. I know what it means if I don't fast. I know the temptations that destroyed those who went ahead of me. Once you have a burning desire away together that you were giving the option to be a priest onto the devil, and you ran from there, And so you know that this is either I serve God or I serve the devil. Either ways, one of them wants me. And since I run. Away from one, I better plunge myself into the things of God. No wonder, when people repent, particularly from other religions, into the Christian faith, you find out that they are zeal They are felt because they know what they're left behind, and praying for you in the name of Jesus, that God will open your eyes to see the destinies connected to you. That God will open up your eyes to see the lives that are. Connected to your obedience. That you're saying yes means the arrival of many people in that place of destiny. And whatever tagnates you, I decree and declare me it give way. Now. Everybody say a burning desire. It's a burning desire that drives you to pray until your breakthrough. It's a burning desire that makes you buy books inside of clothes. The clothes can't wait. Let me dress my mind before my body. My body should not look finer than my mind, because my mind will strip my body body of what is wearing. Now. Allelujah, Number two. The second price that you have to pay if you want to assent, if you want to rise to an enviable place in life and destiny, is the price of transformation. The price of transformation contending for superior belief systems. The price for transformation. I cannot say this enough. The price for transformation. One of the greatest investments you can make in your life, second only to your relationship with Jesus Christ, is an investment. To host a superior belief. System, an investment to host a superior belief system. There is what we call a winer's mentality, and there is what we call a loser's mentality. Allelujah. When people win. There is a mindset called a winner. There is a mindset called a loser. There is a mindset called an unbeliever. There is a mindset called a vibrant Christian. There is a mindset called an illiterate. There is a mindset called a professor. There is a mindset called a mediocre. There is a mindset called a champion. It's just that the bearers of the mindset are those we crackits those names to, But what really qualifies them as the mindset? When you call someone a chief you are naming a kind of mindset. When you call someone diligent, you are naming a kind of mindset. When you call someone vibrant. Spiritually, you are naming a kind of mindset. When you say someone is disciplined, you're not just describing a personality. You are tagging a person to a mindset. Laziness is a mindset. Discipline is a mindset. Spiritual brands is a mindset. I went together, lax it is. Spiritually is a mindset. I'm saying it again that, second only. To your relationship with Jesus, the greatest investment I know that you can make is evolving yourself to knowledge, to the most superior version of you. At any point in your destiny. Now listen to this. The version of you that receives your assignment is not the version that can fulfill it. Impossible. There are two versions there. At least. Just because the version of you was developed enough to receive the assignment does not mean it to fulfill it. There needs to be that intellectual evolution, spiritual evolution. You have to change, mold psychol it into a more superior version, a stronger version, more emotionally intelligent version, more psychologicalist table version who is learning. Most believers do not know that it is. Their responsibility to use the word of God and to tive the love for the sake of your destiny. What we call a Weillner's mentality, a mentality that insists. On the world till it works. Now, when I talk about superior beliefs, I would always not this. I'm not just talking about being more western. Being Western does not mean being superior in your belief system. Being more technological does not mean being more superior. You can still be a more sophisticated, confused person. You can still be away together. Yes, it's just that your own sourcehood and confusion is more technological. It's more relatable, but it's still confusion. When I talk about a superior belief system, I measure it with respect to the word compliancy of your understanding, not just how western you are. You can leave the village and go to Europe, and in terms of exposure you may have improved, but in terms of your wordview, in terms of your understanding the loss of life, you are still as weak as someone who. Never saw light. The winner's mentality, there is a loser's mentality. It believe system based on lives, a belief system based on deception, a belief system based on opinions. I think I've taught it here that they're essentially about five ways that mindsets are formed. Maybe I should do it one minute recap on that very quickly. Number one, your background or your history. The first way your mindset is formed or framed is your background or your history, your upbringing and every experience. Number two the second way mindsets are built your culture. Your culture. If your eurobad, there is a way you are trained to look at life. If you're evil, there is a way you were trained to look at life. If your house are there's a way you are trained to look at life. You are an American and European, a Caribbean, there is a way culture shapes you to look at life. And a part of it is wonderful, great, especially the part that has to do with respect, moral excellence, et cetera. But there are certain subtle but. Destructive ways away together that culture can shape and mold you to look. At life in a way that insists you always lose. Number Three, mindsets are formed from our past experiences. You call it your past. Your past can do something to you. That does not allow you to be a winner all the time. Number four, very quickly, your level of exposure. Your mindset is predicated on your level of exposure at any given time. To be a suppose means that you are aware of what else is there. You broaden your horizon beyond your current scope. Exposure is powerful, especially when it is a healthy exposure. Exposure. You need to know what else is there. You need to know who else is there, You need to know what else God. Is doing Allelujah. It's one of the greatest blessings in my opinion of profitable travels. It creates exposure. But thanks to. Technology, if you don't have the privilege to travel, your mind can travel for you. The Internet has given people access. It's literally taking off the barrier. You don't need a visa for your mind to travel, traveling to spaces and depths where you. Can learn things you may not be there physically. What your mind can travel And one thing I've learned, anywhere your mind gets to, it will drag your body there eventually. It's not the embassy that gives you a visa many times is your mind. Let it go there and it will break every barrier, including the sentiments of embassies or whatever, in a very mysterious way. It's a law. If your body is refusing to go somewhere, leave it behind. Let your mind get there. Once your mind gets there, it will drag your body in depictably to get there. I tell you this. It's an advantage of both of them go together. But they seldom go together. Usually the mind will go and spy the land and return back and tell the body I've seen it. Let's go. You can be in the state of poverty, in a state of nothingness. Let your mind go. Your mind will explode virgin dimensions and destiny, the place of the great, the place where no fowl has gone to the webs of the lion, has not gotten there. It will come back and take your body. I am telling you it's difficult to get where your mind has not gotten there. First, your mind will be the first person to get there. Then it will drive your body. I pray for you every mentality, every belief system. In fact, let me say this before I finish the prayer. Your belief system is your official contribution to your failing or succeeding in life, not just what you do, what you believe is your official contribution to your becoming a failure or you're becoming a success. Meaning if you fail in life perpetually, your contribution to that failure. Yes, the devil may be there, Yes, parents may be dear, But. Your own contribution to your failing is offering your mindset to be misused by the devil. If you succeed in life, yes, it's the grace of God, it's the messy of God. But your contribution to your becoming, to your rising, to your thriving is the investment of a healthy belief system. It is true, for as he thinks in his heart, you see that as mighty as God is, a man can limit God in his life. A man can limit God in his church. A man can limit God in his business. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Jesus did not just win because he was the son of God. He won because he paid the price to invest in building a superior belief system. When Satan came to him, he said, it is written. He didn't say, I think, He didn't say they say. He didn't say what is trending? He said, it is written. It is written, is greater than I saw it is written, is greater than I heard it is written, is greater than they said it is written, is greater than this is what is trending forever. Oh Lord, your world is settled. Build your life around opinions, and you watch it crumble when civilized nations change. But build it on the world. The storms can come, the flowed the rain, and it will stand like the house that is built on a rock. Particularly to our graduates, let me lend my voice in one minute to encourage you the things that you have learned of me among many witnesses. The first thing you do is to invest so that it becomes a testimonial in your own life. Then you now committee to faithful men who will commit. It to others. Allelujah. Your mindset. Don't tell me what you believe. Your mindset will tell me. Don't say I believe in victory. No, allow your mindset to the speaking. Eventually, your mindset will tell me if you believe in victory or otherwise. If your confession betrays your reality perpetually, then I know that something is wrong. There is a conflict between your belief system. You see that now the price of a superior belief system. The person you call reverence some today doing what he's doing and his dear wife. It's not just a man. There is a software that is running this man. That software is what is responsible for the results. Vision is a product of that software. Consistency is a product of that software. Are we together? Have you called somebody and warned the person about a particular lifestyle and whilst you're speaking, the person becomes sober. It says, truly, do you think it is a good idea? No? Will you do it again? He says no. By evening they're calling you from the police station, say come and carried this boy. He's done it again because you were talking to the person, not the mindset. And if the mindset does not shave, the body is a messless errand person. The body is an executor of a belief system. When a man slaps his wife, don't blame the hand. The hand only obeyed the mindset set slap hard. When a man treats his wife, well, it's not just him. It's not the voice. It's the mindset. We keep blaming. Our body is blaming this. When someone acts foolish, it's not the action. The body is helplessly obedience to that driver that drives it away together. When you get up in the morning and pray, it's not just your body willing to stand up. There is a driver. There is a software. You will never change people until you change that software. Once you have not worked on that software, change your clothes. It's the same driver that will lead you to the mod dress. A peep with gold, it will still get into the mod dress away together because there is a mindset. Have you noticed you will never see a dirty cat, a cat with mouth all over the body. No, it's a mindset. Even when it is raining, you will not find a moldy, dirty cat. But there are other animals. As soon as they're inconvenience, they look for anything, even if it's water and mod they roll around. It's your mindset. I don't know how true. This is what they say about an ostrich. It's one of the fastest birds on land that runs. But there's something about the brain of an ostrich. I'm told that when it shoots his head, it believes it's hidden from you. So when you have looked you and you are trying to change you, once it can hide the head. Look at how tall the ostrich is was it hides the head. He believes that you can't see it again. Mindset. A man that I respect so much, great voice late now in the personal development industry. He gave a story, and let me use that to move away from this point. He said. A gentleman was getting into a new. Territory and when he stepped into the city, he saw a farmer who was flowing his land, and he said, my good friend, I have a question for you, and the man said, I'm listening. He said, I hear that in this land they are cruel people. They are armed robbers, they still they you know, they do all kinds of bad things in this land. And the farmer looked at him, took a deep breath and said. You are right, and the man moved in. A few hours later, still at his farm, a young man, very vibrant, bright eyes, very prospective, came happy and he said, my young farm I have a question for you. Said I'm listening. He said, I hear that. In this land they are lovely people, their churches striving, I mean, great businesses. That things happen in this land. And the farmer took a deep breath and said, you are right. Either ways, he said, you are right. Whatever your mindset is looking for, you will find it. If your world is full of chaos and anarchy, you are right. If your world is full of victory and order, you are right. You will still find it within the system. It's my responsibility to train my mind on what to find. When I entire land, I find God. When I entire land, I find relationships. When I entire land, I find opportunities. I don't go around looking for the devil. No, I don't go around looking for failure. You will find it. When I entire church, I look for peace, not conflict. For conflict, you will find it. Isn't it amazing that there are people once the entire place, they gravitate to a group. They don't know what moves them there. They step into a charge and immediately they join the troublemakers. They don't know why. It's a mindset, something about your disposition ships peace. It is comfortable only when there is conflict. So when you go where their friend said no, no, something must be wrong in discharge and someone says, you know. Deep calls onto tail, It's true. It's true. The same way. Now you are in this place, this wo empire area, look at me. How many of you know? Now you may not even tell me where they sell God forbid, but you cannot tell me anywhere they sell drugs or they sell whatever in this place because your mindset. Cannot attract you there. But let a bad boy now not two away together, Let someone who drinks or smokes travel in from another nation and arrive at Buja within five hours. One hour, he would have found that place. You've been here for decades. You don't know where it is. Are we together? He will never with all the churches around, he will see a church, but he will look up someone and his spirit would drive him there. You say, my friend, you know where it's okay, That's why I know. And before you know it, he's there. This is the intellectual GPS system of your destiny. If you find yourself in the wrong location, don't blame your legs. It's only obeyed the mindset took it there. Lay your hands on your head. In one minute, he said, Father, in the name of Jesus, I contend for a superior belief system. Someone is sprayed, particularly on a day like this, I contend. I contendmancos Sabrandiga lecotr I contend for a superior belief system. In Jesus' name, I pray please be seated. Please take this one seriously. Take this one very seriously. Belief systems, there is a mindset that can pastor a congregation of one hundred and stop there no matter how you pray. And first, even if you see in. Your visions that you are leading a great ministry like this, that mindset you see, let me tell you this. When you try to get results that are inconsistent with your mindset, right, there is a principle, and this is a principle in psychology. It's called the principle of cybernetics. It's the same principle that an airplane uses to remain in its trajectory. Those of you who are pilots or conversant with everything aviation. So when a plane is moving from where it is to its final destination, which age when it's locked in, there is a trajectory it must follow. Now, occasionally it will delve when it moves beyond a certain angle. The principle of cybernetics will kick in and return it back to its course. That's how your mindset is. So there is a mentality you have and there is a rule in your life. Don't rise beyond ten million. The day fifteen million kicks in is the lord God created your mindset, will send a bit to your destiny that an error has happened to this man. He has possessed a reality greater than his mindset. It will alter your behavior to start behaving in a way that brings depletion until you get back to the amount consistent with your belief. Then your body now says normal. That's why there are people promotion is used less to them because their mindset does not interpret that they've been promoted. They complain and say it's the economy double their money. Something will still happen to them. It will appear like a series of coincidences, but there is an exact spiritual law that governs it. Reverend Sam, take your shirts that you've been using for years. I always give this example now not. To insult them, but find some of these boys running around a white shirt. You work for three years and you never even saw the difference. It still looks new. Give those boys and come back by next week. You will see their mindset on that shirt. Immediately the shirt begins to fade. It begins to tear. What do you think toward the shirt? It's not cheerlessness. The shirt began to assume the state of their mindset. This is a research that has been done. I'm not just speaking. Oh there, it's true. True to be educated. It's part of the process. Of transformation, but it is not transformation. You can be educated meaning you have storty, useful information in your mind. To be educated is like buying rice and dropping it in your house as a bag of rice. It doesn't mean you will be fed. It's only that the potential to be fed is not within your domain. If you don't open the rise and know how to combine it, you can have ten bags of rice. Call it your degree, call it your master's and I'm not insulting it, and put it there, and still with die of poverty. And when you are long there, they find a lot of rice in your house. Who is learning? The real miracle is not deliverance from demons. The real miracle is deliverance from thoughts and belief systems. With one word, you can cast out demon spirit and it leaves. But you cannot cast out ignorance. You must invest it, because ignorance is not a demon You don't cast it out with one pronouncement. You invest a replacement and a pitting. Oh, yes, a replacement. It would take a replacement, sir, It will take a replacement. The Bible says about the law of replacement that you never are able to gain dominion in a place until you overcome the current force that is there. It says, when a man greater than he, when a thought greater than he. If felure is the king of your mindset, it will occupy your space and your universe. But when another. Thought more war compliance, more superior, more destiny defining as it arrives, there is warfare, a warfare of thoughts. Let me tell you this certain transformation is real warfare. You are fighting against ancient thoughts. The thoughts are made your father failure, transferred sincerely to you, the thoughts that made your motive failure, the thoughts that made territories failures. Let me tell it is. It is very easy for demons spirits to hold the territories sway. They don't hold it by attacking everybody one by one. They hold it by creating a mindset and selling that mindset like a software to everybody, then assigning spirits to become protectors of that mindset. That's what is called a stronghold. A stronghold is a faulty belief system that has demons. Spirits protecting it to keep the victim perpetually thinking that. Way with somebody learning. Yes, sir, if this is all you get today, wishing for a great tomorrow, every. High thing must come down. Every stronghold shall people broken. You have the thing just crown you over come. You are the come. Every high thing must come down. Every strong old shall be pole broken. You have the fic just crown you over come. Every high thing must come down, every strong or shall we be talken? Will you have the thing just crown? Listen down, sit down, I have to finish my session. Mindset number three. That that price. The next time people tell you you are really lucky, open. Your notebook and says sit down. Let me show you how lock walks that I was here advance and I learned the keys. I want to show you how lucky I am. Lucky to be attentive, lucky to listen, cry what listening, piat, what listening? And these are the keys that spelled my diffin of luck. Yes, sir, you have the victims you overcome. Let me give you number three. What is the third price to ascend, to explore new territories, to rise to greater dimensions. The price of building and attracting strategic relationships. The price for building and attracting Please underline those two words. I use my words very carefully, building and attracting strategic relationships. Now, generally speaking, when we teach on relationships as a concept, there are three levels. Your relationship with God, your relationship with men, and your relationship with things. Let me say that again, your relationship with God, your relationship with men, and your relationship with things. You have to lend relationship at these three levels. Most times people only focus on relationship at the level of men. No, you need to know how to relate with God, so your victory. You need to know how to relate with men, and you need to know how to relate with things. You can know how to relate with men efficiently, but not know how to relate with things. Did you ever read about a man in the Bible called a rich fool? He did not know how to relate with things. The Bible says love not the world, neither the things. So the things also matter to God. There is a way you can love the things of this world. It's from the word errors, where you get the word lost and on godly and unhealthy affinity, an attachment that is destructive towards things. You must know how to relate with money. You must know how to relate with material possessions in. A way that they don't own you. This thing comes by training. Allelujah. But let me say this, ladies and gentlemen. The truth of the matter is that the world be fruitful also means be relational, because both biology and spirituality teaches us that fruitfulness at any level is a product of relationships. Look at this. A dot cannot become a line because it is one point. But once you put another dot, you can now draw a line. A line is defined watch this as two connecting dots at least two am I right on that. You cannot draw a line mathematics geometry. You cannot draw a line with a dot. It remains alone. But once you add another dot, now there comes a point. Regardless the circumference, you can draw a straight line. Your destiny is at the messy of the relationships that fund it. Your destiny is as expensive as the bankruptcy of your relationships. If you do not have strategic relationships, your destiny might become so expensive you may not be able to afford it. It's true. Let me say a word or two very quickly about relationships. Please, someone put the timer for me, or let me just know what time I have so that I don't stretch us. I want to make sure I work with the time. There's a lot happening, or at least just give me an idea. There is what we call blessed by association. I preached that message many years ago, that a man. Can be blessed by associations. Say that after me, blessed by association one more time. The Bible says God called Abraham. He never said God called Lot, but it. Makes a profound statement. He said, and. Lot went with him, And Lot went with him. That was it. And Lot went with him, and the ignorant man followed a wise man. Lot went with him. Someone learning. Okay, I can see it now, Thank you, Praise God. And Lot went with him. Relationships are very powerful. I define relationships as advantageous connections that are profitable to all the parties involved. Advantageous connections it has to be advantageous. If it's a connection that is this advantageous, it's not considered a relationship. It can be considered a threat. If an arm Robbert joins himself to you with a gun, that's not a relationship. That's a threat. So it must be an advantageous connection that is profitable to all the parties. That are involved. Now let me tell you a few things I've learned about relationship very quickly. My time is off. Relationships are bridges, look or police, particularly for our their students plicityarm Relationships are bridges. They lead you from where you are to a place of decline, or from where you are to the place of destiny. If you find someone lives. Where he or she is to a better place in life and destiny, the bridge that took them. There is called a relationship. If you find someone declined spiritually, morally, financially, I can tell you a relationship help make that happen. Remember the story of the prodigal Song. He never spent the money alone. There were advisers who are initiating his rebellion. He did not just go on his own to say, my father. He had friends. The Bible says those guys were nameless, but they were. Their effect was on him. He told the father, look, I'm of age, and the father said, have you yes, I've. Considered it, give me my will. The Bible says, as soon as the guy collected that thing, those guys were there. They helped him to spend it. Lie you'r tossly. And when they. Did, you can use the prodigal son's template to know why your finances is depleting. Find out what he did with his money, and don't do it because he had the money. And then he began to do certain things with friends, and depletion started until he became like you know, a salmant feeding swine. And you know the Bible tells us, or well, the Bible does not tell us what we can see there that none of the friends were there when he was feeding with the swine. Do you know where they left? Can you guess where they went to the next person? After they left him? There was a day they said, it looks like this man has stamished. There's no money again. Let's start. Those who help destroy you don't intend to destroy you alone. There are many other people in the list. You are just their focus for now. So as they flatter you don't get carried away. The same thing they're. Telling you, they're telling ten other people relationships. I think I said it in this short one time that relationships are a stream of income. The next time you are writing. Your stream of income real estate, rite relationships, and don't laugh at yourself while you do that. The easiest way to succeed is to join a chariot of white people. Even if you don't know where you're going. The charlot can help you get there while you figure out where you are going. There are people today whose financial level, it's not a reflection of their transformation, is the leverage of the relationships they were part of. Yesterday, one of our dear ladies who gave back overseas, they sent me the Canadian passport of the little baby, and I was thinking to myself, I said, look at there was a baby who was born the same day the exactly I don't. I'm not glad, I don't feel bad. Don't feel bad, be happy about yourself and your baby are. I'm just giving you an illustration born the same day already one was born. We call it a leverage from the world lever. It's an advantage I'm praying for you. May your life be a leverage to others. Say amen that someone can say I seem to be a failure in libor. Since I join myself to you, there are doors doors. You will become a door that can open up the destinies of many. Many of you have immersed yourself in this program now learning. Only God can tell the things you have learned and the quality of decisions you see. The justification of wisdom is the superiority of decisions that come from the standpoint of wisdom. I know you have learned by the quality of the decisions you will now take. Because decisions define destiny. The value of wisdom is that it helps to inform your decision, to improve your decision making ability, so that you make wiser, destiny defining decisions. If wisdom does not translate into a more superior decision making process, then you did not learn. The real profit of wisdom is in its ability to obtad your capacity to make decisions. Please be seated, Let me wrap up relationships. Let me charge everybody here. If you say you don't have a friend, thank God you are in a ministry that has the grace over relationships and I'm not. Just let me tell you this. If your only relationship is marriage relationship, you're in trouble now. I don't talk so much about marriage and all of that, and everybody abiding this calling. You don't find me there. But let me tell you this. A time will come when I will talk about it. But I can tell you listen, listen, but I will tell you this much. I will tell you this much. If the only relationship you have in your life is a marital relationship, get ready to cry many tears in your life because marriage was not designed to solve all emotional problems. Away together. There are certain. Levels of emotional comfort that should come from your relationship with Jesus. Only Jesus can give you that level of comfort. There is a certain level of comfort that comes from finding purpose. There's a certain level of comfort that comes from growth. Then there is a certain level of comfort that comes from your spouse. If you leave Jesus, leave purpose and now expect your spouse to fulfill all the emotional needs that only Jesus will bring. That purpose will bring you overwhelm the person because the assignment your husband or your wife was not supposed to take the place of Jesus purpose destiny. Marriage does not solve all emotional problems. And if you fail in every other area, then use marriage as a healing process. And you now dump every emotional need of marriage. It will never be enough, no matter how ild that your spouse is. For more details, make reference to rever some stitches. Allelujah. But let me tell you this. Take me serious when I say you must. There has to be someone. Who likes you. And it is your assignment to have a profitable relationship in your life, not my retal relationship alone, destiny relationship. He will sit and has men who. Believe in him, so you cannot say everybody hates me. There are people who believe in the devil. There are people who believe in Jesus. Is someone learning now? I pray for you in the name that is above all names, the relationships needed for the next level of your life. May God connect you strategically who is receiving it as a prophetic world, the relationships that are needed for this next level of your life. In the name that is above all names, I release grace upon you you May you find those relationships. Please be seated, Please be seated. Everything in life advances on the basis of relationship. Can I give you number four, the fourth key, which doubles as the fourth price if you want to accentd advance, make progress in life? Is the price of spiritual warfare? The price of spiritual warfare. The price of spiritual warfare First Corinthians sixteen and verse nine. For a great door and an effectual is opened before me, and there are many adversaries. A great door. With every great door, a door talks of opportunities. Are we together a new season? The Bible says, a great door and an effectual is opened before me, and there are many adversaries. Ladies and gentlemen, there are giants on every mountain. There is no mountain that is void of giants. The fact that there are giants there does not mean it is not your possession. You have to learn how to arise and fight. You fight to displace the giants before you enjoy the milk. And the honey that is in the land. In Luke chapter eight, from verse twenty two to twenty eight, the Bible says, while Jesus deciding to go to the other side, there arose. A great storm of wind. Remember, as they launched forth, there was a great storm of wind. But the presence of the storm did not mean they were in the wrong direction. It's one thing you have to learn. It's one thing you have to discover. That the presence of storms does not mean you are wrong or in the wrong direction. In fact, in many regards, I must tell you, the present. Of storms sometimes. Mean that you are in the right direction. And when there is excessive quiet, it may mean it's because you are not going anywhere. The reason why the storm arose was because they were going forward. The presence of storms does not mean you are wrong. It doesn't mean that decision is wrong. Sometimes adversaries and storms confirm that you are in the. Right direction, and so you fight. Someone shall fight. No, this is not a warrior's voice. They fight. Fight in the name of Jesus Christ. The price of spiritual warfare. You need to fight, Oh, you need to fight. There is a fight of faith to break through. There is a fight of faith contending against limiting thoughts, contending against territorial spirits. I remember those days in Isaria. I found out I was told, but later I found out to be true that ministries don't start and last more than three years. Something must happen to that man of God and bring you down, no matter what it is, no matter how sincere. And people who give names and say so so and so person, look at what happened, sosu swan so person, look at what happened, and knowing that already prepared me because you prepare for battles when there is peace, not when there is trouble. When there is trouble, you cannot go to the market and buy what you need. You prepare when there is peace. And I made up my mind. I said, well, I don't know how it does worked for orders, but in the name of Jesus, I will fight every fight. Let me encourage anybody here. You may have heard it, say to my people, fight your battles with honor. Never be ashamed of your battle. Let others laugh while you fight. Fight it with honor. Trap down your father, what trapped down your mother? What trapped down people? There? Oh? Apostle Marriages don't work. Fight, ministreets doesn't work. Fight, spiritual life doesn't work. Fight And while you are fighting, don't mind the naysayers. Can I tell you the truth. Most of those who are mocking you are also admiring you. They're admiring your standin Ah, They're admiring what you are doing that they are unable to do. Fight, Fight, apostle. There is a spirit in a family that is a spirit of infertility. Please fight, sir, Fight sir, don't transferd the same thing. Let it end with you. I made up my mind and I prayed the price, said Lord, every bird to like inheritage, in the name of Jesus, grant me grace to fight and establish. That victory in my life and in my lifetime. I don't have time being ashamed of my battles. I fight. I don't have the energy to explain my battles. I'm busy fighting. Don't ask me to explain my battles. I'm fighting. Wait for the victory. There will always be a story. Imagine if Jesus had to explain to everybody, say now, just to let you know that I'm on my way to gold, got her and don't think that I'm a sinner, just to let you know. Look, he's a long story. I can't start explaining. I know that it's seeers that carried across board. I want to tell you that a minos and you can see Jesus will not have died. He's set his face like a flint. Believe all you can believe my results, will explain it later. To explain it later is someone learning that pressure to always want to explain yourself is why you fail. Oh. I know you're about to hear something about it, but let me just say before it arrives. It's not me. Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen. Victories are too busy. Have you seen people. Running a raise, a marathon and somebody say why are you number four or five? And I said, well, okay, let me stop for a moment. Listen, this thing is tiring. No, they keep your faces like a fleet. When they win, you find mics all around and they say how did you do it? Then they now tell you the story. You don't explain your story on the journey. You explain your story when you win. We live in a. Generation that is so emotionally fragile. The pressure to explain yourself to everybody. Don't get me wrong, There are stakeholders in your life whould deserve to take inventory of your progress, but not everybody says stakeholder, You are accountable to this. Takeholders in your life, and no one else. Some strangers just get up and say, I don't like the way you are looking at your wife. Explain to me what is your business. I noticed you just added a fourth car. I demand an explanation as to why. You bought a white car. Carry your trouble and take it far from me. I pray for you be delivered from the pressure to explain yourself to everybody. And I tell you this, in life and destiny, be guided by three things. One the fear of the Lord, number two conscience, number three posterity. Once you are guided by this, tire your life on. All force cylinders. The fear of the Lord, conscience, posterity. But there's there's a warfare dimension to life. My brothers and my sisters, there is a fight of faith. Ask Reverend Sam he will tell you at every level. Next time you hear God saying there is a door that is open, don't just wear a nice cloth, get a warrior's armor, because as soon as you open that door, the first thing you will meet is not milk and honey. The first thing you will. Meet at giants. Bring them down, then you can eat of the milk and honey. I pray for you the grace of a warrior. Some of you need to return back to the place of prayer because you are in a prophetic season. You war with messages like this. You don't just rejoice, You war with them that Satan has seen that a great door and effectually is about to be opened for you, for your wife, for your children. He will fight, he will use anything. Sickness wrong relationships. Is you are assignment to fight, someone say I will fight. Say in the name of Jesus, I obtain grace to fight. Let me give you a number five, and then I wrap up warfare warfare warfare. Do you know there was a time true story someone received I think the late that's activity and everything you know, together with investments and all of that, it added up to about a one hundred million, And until then the family never that was a miracle of miracles, a one hundred million. Just like that, guess what began to happen. People started rising from anywhere. One uncoup that they are not met since they were small. Now they keep the money. They I'm coming, we need to talk. Another person got up. Conflict started happening among siblings, and then when they reached me, I told them, I said, if you think it's an uncoop problem or it's a sibling problem. Then you don't have enough spiritual intelligence. The devil ones will join your head because in concution you will prevail. You will waste that money, and then peace will return. All of you get on your. Knees and fight. Just when God is opening a door. A husband and a wife. Begin to fight on necessarily, on reasonably over matters, petty matters, digging up issues. That way, I can tell you it's not a marriage issue. There is a reaction in the spirit that a toy is about to open, and the unity of the couple is needed needed for that breakthrough. And you find how many of you have invested in the place of prayer, and you find that. People are just annoying you, trying The devil is trying to trigger something. He wants to waste that prayer moment because you are receiving something mighty and ones who have bought that process, the antagonisms will die down. Learn how he walks. There are many contentions that are not about the human actors. Is a reaction from the spirit. A mantal is coming, a grace is coming, a toy is opening, a dimension is opening up, and the devil begins to trigger everything that can allow demons access to your life. Anger pay You begin to get gas lighted by everybody. Your boss becomes petty and sarcastic, your spouse becomes petty and sarcastic. Is not a spouse problem. It's not the children's problem. I'm telling you. It's a reaction from the realm of the spirit fighting you, and you must fight back. Warfare number five. The prophetic advantage, the prophetic advantage. You want to accent, you want. To go forward, you need the prophetic Exceus fourteen, fourteen fifteen Exceus fourteen and verse fourteen. The broader way of looking at this really is a ministry of the Holy Ghost, and there are many aspects of it, but I will select the prophetic dimension. Just to wrap up my discourse this morning. Excedus fourteen fourteen. The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace verse fifteen. And the Lord said, onto Moses, wherefore criers now onto me? He said, speak what it is it to do? So you can speak to go forward, not just move to go forward. There is a dimension of going forward that. Is speaking dependent. He says, speak that they go forward. Speak that the door opens. Speak that the relationships come, Speak that they go forward. Someone says, I speak to my destiny. Be open. Say I speak to my destiny, open up. I speak to my life. Go higher, go forward to advance, make progress. Say I speak that I am the head and not the tale. Say I speak that I'm above and not beneath. Say I speak that twenty twenty six. Yeah, Say I speak that I assigned. Say I speak that I'm victorious. Now shout speak, listen, listen. There is a prophetic dimension. Let me wrap up with this. There is a prophetic dimension to be victorious. For every prayer that will be prayed here today, ladies and gentlemen, obtain the grace to pray it and for the rest of your life. Know that when it has to do it advancement and accendance, you use your mind, You use. Your feet, but you also use your words. Learn to speak. Speak when it is comfortable, Speak when it is uncomfortable. Speak when doors are closed, Speak when doors are open. Speak when you are alone. Speak when you are in the midst of people. Speak when you are laughing, Speak when you are crying. Speak when there is peace. Speak when there is war. The secret to your advancement, never end in advancement. Among these things that I've taught you is to speak, May God bless you, May God increase you. In Jesus much name, we pray
