Go Forward

Allelujah, Allelujah. You gave the healing and grace that are heart solways hung for Ah, heart solway song. You gave the healing. And grace that are art so ways hunger for. Can you cry out your expectation to the Lord this morning in prayer, give me a name encounter that will change my life. Indeed, someone is praying, let it be from the depth of your heart. I have come to encounter your grace, to encounter your wisdom, to encounter your power. Shell so sepregative in Jesus' mighty name, we pray. The Bible says they go from strength to strength as many as appear before the Lord in Zion, Allelujah. One of the many things that happens when we're in his presence is that we're empowered, empowered to become, not just empowered to receive. You can receive without becoming. But the Bible says, the people that do know their God, they shall be, then they shall do. When you do without being, there is no longevity to it. Allelujah. It starts with knowledge. Then you become, then you can do. May the Lord help us this morning in Jesus' name, but not thank you again, thank you for this opportunity, and sincerely appreciate please be seated. Allelujah. This morning, I'm teaching, and my teaching also doubles as a prophetic word that the Lord gave me to declare onto someone. And the title of our discussion this morning is go forward. It is not just a topic, it is also a prophetic word. And up front, let me declare over someone. Listen to me. Go forward does not mean to move. You are only forward when the next step becomes ahead of the former. Step away together. If I move this way, I am moving, but I am not going forward. Forward means that it has to be incremental steps. Therefore, I declare onto someone in the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, by reason of today and this teaching, go forward, go forward in Jesus' name. Exodus, chapter fourteen and verse fifteen. This was the prophetic instruction that God gave Moses onto the children of Israel. They stood before the Red Sea, the Egyptians behind them, coming with fierce anger. And the Lord said, unto Moses, wherefore thou crierst onto me? He said, speak onto the children of Israel, that they go forward regardless the Red Sea before them, regardless the Egyptians behind them, regardless their discouragement. The instruction did not change. Go forward Allelujah, regardless the economy, regardless post COVID implications, regardless whatever it is, the instruction does not change. He said, go forward, Allelujah. First Sawel chapter twelve and verse six were examining this morning the principles that make for strategic advancement. I did tell us yesterday that the Kingdom of God operates by mysteries. Mysteries they are not meaning hidden secrets. They are just secrets that are privy to believers. That means, if you are not in Christ. There is something called the wisdom of the Just. Look one seventeen. I think that should be Luk one seventeen. Please give it to us. Look chapter one and verse seventeen. Here's what it says. And he shall go before him in the spirit and the power of Elias to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just. The wisdom of Jost is a peculiar manifestation of God's wisdom that is privy to those who are in the kingdom. Are we together the Bible says, no I have seen, nor ear has heard, neither has it come into the heart of man what God has in store for them that love him. Allelujah. Yes, it says, but it has been revealed to us by His Spirit. For the Spirit such is all things, even the deep things of God. And the intent is that it might be freely no to us the things that God has foreordained for our glory. Allelujah. First Samuel twelve and verse six. May I request that we read it together, for some well twelve and verse six ready want to read, and some well said onto the people, Aha, it is the Lord that advanced Moses and Aaron, and brought who advanced Moses and Aaron. It took more than desire. You just saw them moving forward great strides by the spirit. But here the prophet is saying, it was the Lord behind the scene, advancing Moses, advancing eron. That would be someone's testimony that, mysteriously you will leap over our worlds. Mysteriously you will make extraordinary progress. And when men ask you and try to probe into your extraordinary results, you will refer them to this scripture that it was the Lord that advanced me advanced my business, advance my ministry, advance my family. It's important that we. Appreciate this scripture because the Bible says, accept the Lord beauilty house. He never said the house will not be built. He said it to be built, but in vain. Except the Lord watches over a city. He said that will watch man watch it. But in vain. It is vain to wake up early. In the morning and to sleep late at night, only to eat the bread of sorrow. But the Bible says, he giveth his beloved sleep. Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord. So there are principles Leviticals Chapter nine and verse six. Leviticals Chapter nine and verse six. The Lord revealed from this scripture onto Moses, and by extension to us believers today, that every time you want to see the glory of God made manifest in your life, there are always principles. There are truths that you have to work in keeping with. This is the thing which the Lord commanded. Yet ye should do, and the glory of the Lord shall ackeey onto you. The glory of the Lord will not appear just because you desire it, just because you wish for it. There are principles that you have to work in keeping with. Now, just to quickly point out, please listen carefully. The manifestation of God's power is threefold. That means, if an individual is who experience the power of God, there are three levels of experiencing the power of God. The highest level, known and revealed from scripture is the power of God that emanates through encounters and through intimacy. Intimacy and encounters bring a measure of power. The highest measure of power known to be given to man from God comes as a result of encounters and intimacy. The second level of God's power is the power that was invested in laws and principles, laws, laws and principles. This dimension of power does not depend on a relationship with Him. It depends on understanding a way together. Now, understanding and application. That means it is possible that you do not have a relationship with God, but you are able to access that dimension of his power, because relationship is not a requirement to access his power at that level. It depends on your understanding of that principle and then the fortitude to engage away together. Now, then the. Third level of His power is experienced through covenant al alignment. That means you may not even understand the dynamics of the power. But when you come under the influence of a man who has a covenant with God, even before you have any understanding, you can begin to experience that grace. Allelujah. Are we learning now? This is very important? So I'll give us very quickly for the time that we have this morning, a few principles. Now, I give you a guarantee by. The integrity of Scripture that these principles are not conningly devised fables. These are not the figments of a man's imagination. It would be evil to come and waste your time proposing mundane ideas. These principles have been. Proven first from Scripture and then in the life of people, regardless the current circumstances. As at the time they were engaging those principles, it did not look like it would work. I needed to understand that the jealousy of God is of his principles. He literally supervises the manifestation of his laws and principles. That by these two immutable things, it is impossible for God to lie. So the truth that you're hearing and not opinions that you'll be wondering, why should I believe? Should I not know? It says the things that we have seen, the things that we have heard, the things that our hands have handled. You can read a book. About a subject and articulate it intelligently from a lecture standpoint, from a theoretical standpoint, but when you are describing an experience, it is not just what you read about. It is what has become your reality. Allelujah. And I submit to you by the wisdom of the Spirit that what you are learning is not a conningly devised fable. The law God has by his. Spirit turned men who have embodied these truths that if you work in keeping with them, it will be impossible to remain at this level. May that be your testimony in Jesus' name. The first key that I want to share with us this morning, as far as experiencing advancement strategic advancement is concerned, is principal number one your spiritual connection. Please write it down in order of priority for any man who desires acceleration, advancement, growth, increase, and extraordinary life. The Bible mandates that the foundation for any victorious life is God. I call it the God first principle, God dash first principle, Genesis, chapter one, Verse one says, in the beginning, God, please say it after me in the beginning one more time. For the last time. The moment you. Distort disorder, your life starts going down. The beginning of everything should have God. His is only omega to what He became alpha too. You do not start inventing your ideas, then smuggle God into your plans. The jealousy of God mandates that He becomes the originator of every process around your life were together. As simple as this concept is, there are many believers who find themselves wallowing around in mediocrity and defeat because for many people, we feel God is a necessary luggage. We have to carry a lot around to justify spirituality. Most people have not seen the value of being spiritual, the value to our spiritual connection. So religiously we say God, I need you. What In truth, we're just picking him up as an extra luggage in case we meet the devil on the way. Allelujah the God first principle, Second Corinthians, chapter twenty six. Let's read from verse three to five Second Corinthians twenty six, second Chronicles. My apologies twenty six, Second Chronicles twenty six, Verse three to five, Second Chronicles, not Corinthians Chronicles twenty six. Thank you. The Bible says, sixteen. Years old was Usiah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jacoliah of Jerusalem. Verse four. The Bible says, and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amasiah did Verse five. I like us to read together, ready one to read. And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God. And as long as he sought the Lord God made him to prosper. Let's repeat that last verse. That's last part again. And as long as he sought the Lord God made him to prosper. Settle it once and for all, ladies and gentlemen, that there is infinite value in the pursuit of God and spiritual things. That at no point in your Christian experience or your destiny pursuit, should you have a reason to drop God aside. It is better for your job to be dropped aside. It is better for your ambition to be dropped aside, than for you to drop God and his purposes. We live in a world that seems to believe that the most civilized you are, the less spiritual you should be. That is not the case. In scripture. Thou shall love the Lord, your God says, with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, for as long as whosaia sorts the Lord. The Bible says, God made him. Look at me, have you seen anything that God made? Do you know how powerful anything God makes becomes. Look at heavens and the earth. The sun has never required assistance to shine. It is older than all of us, and yet there is no wariness because God made it. The earth has never been tired of giving every year with plants, and it produces without fail. What you call famine is demonic manipulation upon the earth. But as far as the earth is concerned, it was mandated to produce. So when the Bible says God made him, think before you say amen, investigate on the other things that God made. When God makes a thing, there is. No depletion. Because everything reflects the power of the one who made it, as long as he sought the Lord. Even as a business man, God made him to prosper as long as he sought the Lord as a preacher, God made him to prosper. The first principle I wanted to learn this morning is the value of your spiritual connection. In James, Chapter two and verse twenty six. James two and verse twenty six, James was teaching on faith and works, and he now borrowed a very powerful concept to educate the believers. He says, for us, the body is that in your Bible without the spirit is dead. So faith without works is dead. The apart is my interest. That means everybody leaves only to the debate, to which there is a speed that causes it to leave. The body. There is not just talking of a human body. Your business is a body. Where is the spirit that powers it? Your project is a body? Where is the spirit that powers it? That means every physical thing you see only leaves it derives its life from the realm of the spirit. Please understand this, no matter how intelligent, no matter how dexteros you are in understanding, if there is no spiritual backing and connection, there is no future for whatever you are doing. Now, unbelievers, understand this. In spite of all your technical skills. They would do all. Of that in the day, but in the night they know that the basis for their prosperity is their connection to the realm of the spirit. Whether it is demonic, they know they have to outsource an advantage beyond this realm to dominating this realm all together. The value of your spirit connection that extends to your prayer life, that extends to your words, study life, that extends to your passion for the things of God, that extends to your appetite for the House of God. The moment your growth becomes the basis for your cutting away from God and his purposes, he would rather limit your growth to preserve your spiritual health. I hope you know the anointing was only designed to fight what did not come from God. If it is God limiting you, no prayer and no anointing can fight it. The anointing does not fight God, it only fights what is Antichrist. So before you start praying, verify who is resisting you, Because God also resists. Men your spiritual connection. Men our audacity in this kingdom. Men are or dacious and strong. Their i to confront life with confidence, not because of anything that they have. Paul clearly said it that our sufficiency, the ability to always rise to the occasion, never disappointing. That's what we call sufficiency. He says. Our sufficiency is of God, who has made us able ministers. I like Philippians four Unves thirteen, he says, I can do all things. What an arrogant statement. If he's stopped there, will have a right to vetting. Who do you think you are to claim you can do all things? You know how many things there are to be done in. A mass lifetime. And here is an apostle standing with audacity and saying I can do all things, including that business project. I can do all things, including spreading my business globally. I can do all things. But he never stops there. He says, through Christ, through Christ. The anointing that is derived from my relationship. You look at your church, and you look at this ministry. You are smart and intelligent to know that there are certain results that men an assisted by God, cannot produce. John chapter three one and two. Nico Dimos comes to Jesus by night and he says, Rabbi, we know that thou art a man sent from God. He says, for. No man can do these things, these miracles, which thou do it? Except God be with him. There are certain results that are beyond the realm of intellect. There are certain results that are beyond. The realm of men. There is a dimension of result that, when you produce, it implicates you immediately. It shows that there must be a spirit assisting you, whether it is demonic or divine. For sure, you could not have produced that result on your own and by yourself. David, how would you stand before God Liad and they're this beast of a philistine, a man who threatened the army in Israel. Can you imagine David. Standing as a young teenager, no track record of being trained in the army, and he stands before Soul and says, give me a chance. I can't bring this man down. Now he stands before go Liat, and go Liad said, am I a dog? I will kill you? What respect me? Israel? Is this the best you can bring? And David looked at him and said, are you don't talking? Let me even tell you how you would die. I will first use this sling to bring you down. Then with your own sword, I would take off your head. It says, you come to me with your bos and your fairs, But there is a covenant. I'm not coming. I would be stupid to stand before you with a sling. Can I tell you? Every time you stand before situations and circumstances life will ask you who sent you? What is the business? Politically? You know this what we call Godfather is him, and so on and so for when you stand to advocate some kind of favor, they will ask you who sent you? You are in this office by whose recommendation did you enter? Year? If you said no, one needs a follow that same door and get out of this place. In fact, there are certain jobs you will never get, no matter how professional you are, until you are able to bring a recommendation and a referral by certain people. Are we together who have a relationship with that organization? So men are wise enough to know that. There are certain results you cannot get by yourself. Ladies and gentlemen. For many of you who have been trying to pursue certain results and just following an intellectual path alone, you see there are many routes that propose an excelling life. But the Bible says there is a way that seemed right onto a man. It says the end thereof other ways of death. First principle, God first in this business. God first, you build a house before you call people to come and jump up and down. Lord, I hand over. Everything to you in the beginning God, beginning of my life, God, beginning of my business, God, beginning. Of my journey. So, as I'm teaching right now, you need to start rearranging the cads of the things in your mind. Don't say God is in my life as number what his persion is not. Just to be in your life is to be fased. God can be scattered somewhere in your life, money being number one, maybe you ambition being number two, and then you smuggle God somewhere as number seven or ten and be asking God, are you watching things? No? No, no no. If he is not Alpha, he cannot be omeka. He must be beginning a way together now. Yes, So this is my first charge. Is an irrefutable principle for an excelling life. Show me a man who was failed by every definition except for his connection with God. I show you a man who is about to emerge and to evolve like an insect evolves from egg laver pupa adult. He says, rejoice, not over me, my enemies. Do I fall the one thing Joe had left? Every other thing left him, business, connections, left, sons and daughters left in one day. No man on earth as I know, has experienced this kind of tragedy. But the one thing he had left. The wife even said, costs God and die. She was not wicked, she was just frustrated. There's nothing else. When we'll use that building your life again? When will I start having children again? And Job said, do he slay me? Yet? Will I trust him that all the days of my appointed time? I will wait. I will wait. I will wait. Don't call it god love a failure. Never call it. You will bury your head in shame for the rest of your life. For the Bible says, listen very carefully. The Bible says with God, all things with God, with God, in partnership with God. The Bible and history is full of ordinary men forgotten and concluded, justifiably so by life and by society, but their relationship with God. Like you throw a seed to the ground and you leave it for a long time, there is silence, and then you begin to see an imagines until that seed becomes I'm speaking to someone. It looks like there is nothing else walking in your life except your relationship with God. And you're already feeling frustrated. Men are even saying you've not translated your spirituality to an excelling life. Let me give you a word of hope that one anchor you have is the greatest thing you have held on too, And in the name of Jesus, made your manifestation appear. In this season, your manifestation becomes visible. The Bible says, listen carefully. The Bible says that the world became flesh. The world became flesh, and it appeared onto men, and we beheld this glory, even as the glory of the begotten, full of grace and truth. The Word was made became flesh. Nothing and no one in your life should sustain the ability to take the place of God. And this has nothing to do with being a preacher. Please listen, This has nothing to do with religious fanatism. It is an orientation you must have for the rest of your life. We live in a world where the higher we rise, the more embarrassed we are to propose our spirituality. So your phone rings, and it's a Christian song. You offer it quickly because you're in the midst of people who you don't want to show like you're fanatical. You want to show that you're an intelligent person, not so, not so, not so. You will never shy away from what works the moment you start getting embarrassed that God is an orientation you have that you suspect you will always disappoint you. So you rather bringing that issue. I believe in God. I believe he is a maker, not just the maker of the heavens and the earth, the maker of men. When God makes you, you will last when God. When men make you on their own, men are vehicles, not the source. Men become your source. They will ruin your life away together. Yes, they will say, become king over us today and tomorrow they'll say, crucify him. But there is a friend that sticket closer than a brother. If you're following so fast, say amen, very quickly. Principal number two, the second principle that governs an extraordinary life, governs acceleration. In this kingdom, is called vision. Vision. In addition to your spiritual connection, the second key is vision Proverbs twenty nine and verse eighteen. Proverbs Chapter twenty nine and verse eighteen. The Bible says, where there is no vision, the people perish. Where there is no vision, the people who perish. But he that keeped the law happy? Is he one of the versions who say, where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint. This is very very important in Jeremiah chapter one and verse eleven. So a discussion is between God and this young boy who would later become a mighty prophet ordain to be a prophet called Jeremiah. Jeremiah chapter one the full texts from verse five, but for sake of time, let's look at verse eleven. So he meets this young boy and tells him that while you were in your mother's womb, you have been called and not deigned to be a prophet onto the nations. And Jeremiah is afraid, and he says, I mean, but I am a child. He says, say not that I'm a child. But wherever I send you to, you shall go, And whoever I instruct you to speak to, you shall speak. When we get to verse eleven, it says, more over, the word of the Lord came on to me, saying, Jeremiah, what ces dow? Preparing him for a great life. He began to talk about his perception. What do you see in light of all that I have told you? And he said the rod of an almond tree verse twelve. It says you have seen well other versions who say you have seen correctly. It says, for I will hasten my word that you have seen to perform it. Amplify it says, for I. Am a lot and active watching over my word to perform it. Vision is the ability to see things as they should be, not as they are. The ability the faculty of perception, the ability to be able to see things from the lens of God's standpoint, beyond the limitations that you see now. Great people and those who. Make advancement in life are people who have vision. So you can look at this beautiful auditorium and this entire estate. You can look at it is incredible. At an architecture, among many other fields, but at an architecture are two fields that reveal the creativity of the kingdom in a very profound way. That an artist would sit down and from the lens of his imagination he would begin to create and transport realities, give frame and pictures and write it down. Do you know how much artworks sell across the globe. You would not imagine millions of dollars for some of them. That was the brainchild of someone's creativity. How about an architect Whilst you're giving him your brief, he's looking at you and it looks like he's not understanding you until he goes to the paper and he comes up with something so beautiful. Sometimes you are tempted to ask, where did you get this from? This is the power of imagery. Imagination. Listen, there is no leader who will drive in this end time if you do not have the ability to perceive, and that perception is not just about things, it is also about people. You must be able to look at Saul and see poor. Please help those under the annoyting. Are we together now? This is very important. If you do not have the faculty, let me have your attention. Please. If you do not have the faculty of perception, you will never be able to rise in life. Look or please you see the way God speaks to men. When God speaks to you, he never speaks to you like he's speaking to a man. He speaks like he's speaking to himself. You know it is God that spoke to you, because that version of you cannot do what he's telling you to do. Anything you hear that you have the ability to do at that moment, most likely it is your mind. When God speaks, he speaks to a version of you that is about to come, that is the version that can make this happen. He speaks like he's speaking to himself. Why do you see Gideon a man who is hiding, and you never call him off fearful Gideon. You call him a mighty man of valor. And Gideon is saying, don't flatter me. I'm here hiding, trying to preserve my life. And when he was done with Gideon and change his perception, he said, go in this time, might. Say vision one more time? Say vision. Yes, until you see yourself beyond the house you are staying, you will never go out. You see vision. Listen, Vision walks together with imagination. Efficient Chapter three and verse twenty says, now onto him, which is who is able to do exceeding abundantly far above all that we ask or think. Some expression say, imagine. Your imagination is a necessary tool for your advancement, as far as your eyes can see. It, says I have given on to you. Listen. When Abraham and lort. Remember the story of Abraham and Lot. You find it in Genesis twelfth. The blessing comes upon Abraham, and Lot goes with him. By the time we. Get to chapter thirteen, both of them had become so prosperous. And then there was a contention among their people, and Abraham said, we'll be brethren. Let there be no strife. Lot choose among yourself. And the Bible says the man who went near Sodom, And whilst Abraham was standing there, the Lord made a very instructive statement. It said, Abraham, from where thou art, lift up your eyes. Your legs cannot go there, but your eyes can go. Listen, everybody on earth can look at the sky. I may not be able to reach the air, maybe to get an airplane that takes me there. But from where I am. Once I lift up my eyes, I can't see what anybody else is seeing from where thou art, Lift top thy eyes from where you are, not just the location, from that financial state, Lift up your eyes, from that educational state. Lift up your eyes, because your life will go in the direction of your eyes. You know that your life does not just go in the direction of your heart. It is the direction of your eyes. If your eyes are looking left, chances are excellent that your body will go left. Are weay together? Yes, That is the reason why we have our eyes in front, so that there is no possibility of disrespecting your eyes. If you have to turn left. If your eyes is going right, your body will go right. If you find somebody looking straight and going backward indefinitely, you will know that that person most likely has a medical situation or whatever. Because it's not given to men. Your body moves in the direction of your eyes. The organization moves in the direction of vision. There is no organization that rises higher than the vision and the perception of its leader. It will rise to match your vision and stay there. Are we together? When Jesus walked upon the earth, he had a global vision. Can you imagine that frails supposedly frailed Nazarene. His vision was not to come and become a celebrity. That was too small a vision. His vision was not to recruit twelve men, not even one, twenty, not even thirty, was to permeate the entire to literally be the basis of man's reconciling with God. And as frail as his steps were that vision would never fail. Look at the world today, grateful and thankful because of his death. Vision is powerful. From where you are a possible I mean a place in Legos that I do not even want to call the name congratulations. Right there where you are, you can lift up your eyes. Imagination does not You don't have to pay for it. Vision is powerful. Many believers claim scripture, but they do not have the discipline to have a clearly defined vision for their lives and for their organizations. Can I tell you something God told me a few years ago. This organization always translates to depletion. Every time there is this organization, there. Will always be depletion. You try to arrange clothes in a bag, don't fold them, just try to stuff them in. You would find out that the bag may not be able to close. Get the same clothes, iron them, fix everything and arrange them. The bag will close and they will even be extra space. Someone say, vision, Can you give me a blueprint of your vision? Spiritually speaking? And then in every other aspect of your life? Where do you want to go from here? Nobody starts driving on the road. Speed is useless until there is vision. Imagine a man's speeding and you say to where and you say, I do not know. I always like to give an example. Imagine with me that you got a well, now we have the whole GPS system, but imagine with me that you just got a cab with no sense of direction, and you tell the man I'm coming to Elevation Church and he says, oh, let's go, and then he starts driving around around and then you say, are you sure you know the place? And announcewers, well I am not. I thought, I'm not sure, And you said, so why were you running like this? You were horning and running. Every time there is no vision, you most slow down. You see, if you're trying to get a place and you don't exactly know where that place is, the first thing that is affected is your speed. You have to slow down until vision is clear. Are we together? Vision? Go back and have a vision for your life, a vision for your organization, a very clear description. Psychologist and even those in the personal development industry would tell us that the clearer your vision is, the greater it is your sense of achievement. You will be able to achieve it. When the vision is clear. I want to make it. That is a very consoling statement, But that is not a vision. Are we together? Yes? I want to make it or I must make it. My life must be great, wonderful confession. But in the realm of greatness, that statement is empty. What is make it to you? What is rise to you? You have to give your life definition? Defination, defination. Also, I have been suffering in this legacy. Looks like things are not working. Okay, what do you want to work? At what point will you know it has worked? Are we together? All I know is my life must change based on what in disease? How do you know. Your life is changing? How do you measure your progress without vision? If you're with me, say amen. One of the ways that you become a visionary person is by leveraging on a visionary association. I've always said. That if there are, respectfully speaking, if there are five foolish people around you, you did not count well, there are six. And if there are five wise people around you, you did not count well, there are six. Because you will always be a reflection of the people and the company that you keep around you. Most of us are unable to be visionary because there are people in our lives who do not inspire us, even in our most unproductive states, who are still the best in that group that is a dangerous. Group to be. The Bible says, to provoke one another onto godliness, that someone can leave this church and say, Lord, if you can. Use my pastor. In spite of all his story and everything he's given, you've raised him now and I'm being blessed by his life. I'm inspired. I will go back and I will deal with this thing with all my heart. What is making me financially bankrupt? Why is it that favor does not come my way? Why is it that I'm not able to build anything? The Bible says, it's able to do that which we pray for and that which we imagine. One last time, say vision. Vision is very powerful. Because it gives you the legitimacy to say no to many things. There are many You will offect many people if your no does not have a busis. Vision prunes your relationships. Vision defines your relationships. Vision gives you focus so that you are busy, but you are not busy doing too many things. In fact, great people are known to be busy people, but the things that they do are not more than five or six Do you know the things. The factors that actually make for your success are not many. When you find yourself doing too many things, is proof. That you are feeling you should be busy about a few things that really matter. In the case of Mary and Math, it says, Mary, you are worried. Math and Math, you are worried and obsess about many things. It says, what one thing is needful? There are a. Few essentials that, where you lay your hand upon, you will command victory. You will command acceleration in an unusual way. May that be your testimony? Key number three are we learning? Let's see how fast we can go this morning? So the first is your spiritual connection, second is vision number three. The third key. That controls the advancement of men is light LGHT light, the power of knowledge, illumination, knowledge and understanding. Ecclesias. The ten and verse fifteen says the level of the full weary at every. One of them. It clears, yes this ten fifteen, It says, because this is the reason every time you see weariness, every time you see exhaustion without progress, the Bible is giving you the reason. Here the labor of the foolish. The foolish there had not been an insult is a description of a state. He says, it wearied every one of them because he. Knows not how to. Go into the city, not because the city is not there. He does not know how to go into the city. Someone says, light, please shout it. Say that. The miracle of understanding is a real miracle. When God wants who help a man and help a man's. Destiny, he quickens. Your understanding, your ability to comprehend the ways of God, to comprehend the laws that guarantee for success. Show me a man. Who submits himself to light, to knowledge and understanding. I show you a man who is building an enviable destiny without fail on the standing is such a requirement for destiny actualization? The Bible says, Then open hevia understanding that they might understand the scripture that was the prayer of Paul for the church in Ephesos. You find that in Efficien chapter one, when you read from verse fifteen down to twenty, he was crying and praying that the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, would grant them access to light. It says that you've been enlightened, amplified. Says, the eyes of your understanding been flooded with light that you may know. Ignorance is dangerous. Ignorance is dangerous. Ignorance is dangerous. If I fall from off this stage, even in ignorance, I will still pay for it. Gravity does not respect the fact that I am ignorance. It would take a miracle to not fall here and hurt myself. Because there is a law that is at work. Whether I understand the law or not, it's not the issue. Are we together now, yes, Since the parity of heart will never substitute for knowledge. There are many sincere people who believe that because their hearts are pure and without guile. They should succeed. And you find a lot of people say, I am innocent, But God, what is the meaning of this. I'm a nice person. I'm not wicked at heart. It takes knowledge light, and you see, when we deal with the subject of knowledge, please let me have your attention. When we deal with the subject of knowledge, you do not. There is a standard of knowledge that you must attain for every result you want to command. So your knowledge is not freelanced. Your knowledge is not Arbituaryly. Are we together now? Your knowledge must be methodical. It must be to the degree that will end you that result. There are many people who are not in complete ignorance, but they do not know enough to produce the results. First Corinthians eight two. First Corinthians eight two. I like us to read together, one to read. And if any man thinks that he knowed anything, he knowed nothing. Yet as he ought to know. I would always give the example of the grading system that we have in our educational institutions. We have abcd F. I think it stops at F. Are we together? F does not mean zero. F means anything less than forty am I. Right on that. So if you get zero, for instance, God forbid, say amen, say it again. If you get zero or twelve or seventeen, even thirty five, maybe thirty eight, what is the grade? Now? If I arrange all those who got F according to their cause, someone will still be fast. Yet, based on the grading system, both the person who did not write the exam, the person who started. And slept off, the. Person who did not read, the person who honestly did this person did not get the cut off point, all of them would be in the same category. Can I tell you lead to knowledge is dangerous because it makes you believe you are not ignorant, yet you still not have results. You will be in the midst of great people. I know, I know, but your results will eventually drag you to the place of losers. So you need high level knowledge. High level knowledge, not just spiritual knowledge, but the understanding of the cosmos, the laws that make for an excelling life. Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge. You must go for knowledge. The Bible says. To buy the truth and sell it. Not. That means the truth is not cheap. It will cost you. Except that money is the list of the currencies you will need to buy the truth. The first currency to buy the truth is hunger and desire. You use honor to buy the truth. You use your attention and your focus to buy the truth. You use meekness and humility to buy the truth. The Bible says, buy the truth and sell it, not allelujah. Ignorance is not a demon. You don't cast it out. Ignorance is a state of mind. You solve that problem by introducing superior ideas to your mind. Let me challenge someone. Write the list of the areas that are not working in your life and make it a project after this conference to begin to pursue the requisite level of knowledge it takes to erode ignorance from your life. Are we together? Light? So number one your spiritual connection? Number two vision number three Light? Can we talk about the fourth? All right? So let's work very quickly. Number four? What is the fourth principle that governs acceleration excelling in life? A transformed mind? Please write it down? The power of transformation sustaining superior beliefs. Knowledge is useless. Accept it is used as a tool that transforms you. A transformed mind. Proverabs Chapter twenty three and verse seven. Proverbs twenty three and verse seven. The Bible says, for us in the thing kept in his heart, interchange for mind. The Bible did not say so he will become. He says so so is he? You already are? You are a summation of your beliefs. This is a profound statement. Listen, Success is not what you pursue. If you find yourself trying to pursue success. You are failed from the beginning. Success is what you attract by who you are becoming, more than what you are doing. You're becoming is the greater reason for attracting success. Most people are concerned about doing so. A man, for instance, wants to sort out his finances, and the first thing he does is what business idea? No, you've already failed. You don't make money of business. You make money of your understanding. Your business only is a vehicle that gives your understanding expression to live a rewarded life, so you can do what other people are doing. What your understanding will put that vehicle and make it of non effect as far as your prosperity is concerned. Transformation. What is transformation the name given to the process that makes you become makes you like Jesus Christ in experience? But number two transformation means. The process of replacing the old, mundane and mediocre ideas about God, about Satan, about success, about failure, about life. What do you know about God? What do you know about destiny? What do you know about Satan? What do you know about defeat? What do you know about organization? Transformation, transformation sustaining superior beliefs. This is where the concept of mindsets and strongholds come into play. A mindset is a sustained way of thinking, positively or negatively. It is a. Sustained way of thinking, and the Bible lets us know, and even psychologists and philosophers agree on this one thing, that your life will become an expression of the quality of your. Thoughts or otherwise. This is true. For various reasons. We have sustained all kinds of thinkings, she first among them being our backgrounds, failures of the past, our environments. Are we together now? All of these agencies have imparted into us mindsets and believes that many times and in many ways can be limiting and destructive. This is one of the assignments of the Church that when you come to church through the lens of scripture and editing, a process of editing begins to happen to your mind, so you begin to learn the ways of God. Philippians two one, verse five. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Jesus Christ. Jesus don't just desire his results. You must have his mindset. If you're with me, say Amen, hallelujah. This is very profound. Mindsets, the Bible says in Philippians chapter four and verse eight. Finally, Brethren Paul says Philippians four and verse eight, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, lovely, whatsoever things are of good report. If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, help me complete that scripture. Think on these things. He defines to you the jurisdiction for your thoughts that if you want to live an excelling life, you must sustain your ability to limit the sources of your information, because as a man thinking in his heart or his mind, he becomes Do you know what a stronghold is? Let me define for you in this teaching what a stronghold is. A stronghold is a sustained, faulty thinking pattern that has been fortified by the presence of demon spirits so that it keeps the victim perpetually thinking in that pathway. It is that state that can make the word of God of non effect. Away. Together, then open their eyes, open here their minds, their understanding. You notice that every time Jesus found blind people in the Bible, he took their issue seriously, because the issue of light and the issue of transformation is very serious. Jesus is giving his final words admonishing the disciples preparing. For his moments of transition. And this is what he told them. He said, these signs shall follow them that belief. Please look at me. Every time we think of that scripture, we only think of it in terms of signs and wonders. But it says these signs that means your believing is a dangerous thing because there are physical signs that must follow you. Everything following you is a report card, is telling you that there is something you believe that is attracting what is following you. If failure is following you, pain is following you. You don't drive it by saying go away. They are respecting your belief. They were sent to come to honor your belief. These signs the signs of pain, the signs of rejection. The Bible says this sign shall follow them that believe. So when you want to change the signs that are following you, you change or believing. You change your believing, You change your believing. And as you know, the key to transformation is number one, the discovery of the truth, and then number two, using the law of repetition to bury that truth and that superior information until it is embedded within your subconscious mind. You know this, you have been taught this. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen, do not downplay this. Every time you have a physical result that is greater than your level of transformation, the law of God's justice will kick in, and whatever you are holding must live your life. What appears in your physical world must be consistent with your level of transformation. If at any point, even through a gift or by a gift, you are ever given something that is higher than your level of transformation, events will happen in your life that you call coincidences that will bring you to a state where everything higher than your mindset would deplete until it leaves you. So you give somebody one billion error and in its mind the highest financial rem is one hundred thousand. Through a series of events that even the victim cannot explain, that money will reduce until it comes to that range. Then it will stop. This is the reason why no cooperation prom most people arbitarily without training, they upgrade their minds to match the level of increase that they want to bring to them. This is the fallacy of living a fake life. Living a fake life. Means that you attempt to pull together physical things in your life that are inconsistent with your transformation. You are only recycling pain. Again and again and again. Someone learning now Yes, Apostle I'm trusting God for a global ministry. I'm trusting God for a global organization. If your mindset does not receive that everything in life is built twice and which we had time, I would have taken you to Genesis eleven, and I would have shown you something very profound. Nimrod Kush called the people together to build a city and a tower whose top will reach the heaven. He motivated them and began to sell that idea to them, and the Bible says they believed. While all of that process of transformation was happening, The Bible says, God looked from heaven and saw that the building has been finished. It had not started. It's in your bible. Give us Genesis eleven and verse five. Don't tempt me, the Bible says, which you resist temptation. Allelujah, Genesis eleven and verse five. Watch this, the Bible says, and the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which. That should of men build it. It has been finished in the spirit before they lay one. Block on the ground. Their minds have built it already. And listen, I hope you know in this scripture, Satan was not mentioned. The Holy Spirit was not mentioned. It was just imagination and the power of it. Verse six. Verse six give us a scripture. This is God testifying about men who were not saved. This man did not have the holy goals assist in them. The Lord said, behold, the people is one, and they all have one language. And it said this they begin to do. It was finishing their mind. They want to now begin to execute it. And God said, because it was finished nothing, God himself is saying nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined, not imagining. They were about to do it. But as far as the mind rem is concerned, was finished. Everything in life is built twice. The most superior building is the one in your mind. Destroy any physical thing. That is why a prosperous man who loses in business while you are trying to grit him as though you are coming to mourn with someone who lost their loved one's laughing at you and encouraging you, because it was only the physical money that disappeared. Everything that is built in your mind, provided it is intact, laugh at anything that tries to take it from your life. It is like pulling a rubber ring. It will always return back. Do you believe what you're hearing, so someone can rejoice in your lonely estate. Nothing physical yet appearing, Yet you rejoice because by the teaching of the world, coming to charge every week is transferring wealth to you. If I ask you how do people become wealthy and you tell tell me they do business, you are not a good student. No, we become blessed. And by where they don't just mean financially. You understand what I mean. Yes, the level of excellence and dexterity in your life is it comes from the superiority of your ideas, your degree of transformation. So key number. One again your spirituality, your connection is someone learning already. Now you see that victory and advancement is not just an importation. It is predictable. These are the keys. They are irrefutable. They will not fail. Two vision, three light sufficient light for transformation. Let me give you the fifth for this service and then will end. Please do not miss tonight number five MM. Are you ready? The fifth key that controls advancement is productivity, productivity, value and productivity. You may want to write value and productivity. Let me show you a scripture that inspired me years ago, and sudden Covenant decisions came out of that scripture. Mark Chapter one, from verse thirty five to thirty seven. Value and productivity. I will read thirty five thirty six. When I get to thirty seven, we'll read together. Let me read now. And in the morning, rising up a great while, he went out, that he being Jesus, now he was done with his crusades. And the Bible says, in the morning he went out and departed into a solitary place, and their pray verse thirty six, the Bible says, and Simon and they that were with him followed after him verse thirty seven. May that be your story. And when they had found him, they said, unto him, all men seek for thee how many men? All men means all categories of people, businessmen, politicians. There is a kind of value when you carry only your tribesmen, look for you. There is a kind of value when you carry only those within your age range. Look for you. There is a kind of value when you carry only those within your nation. Look for you. But there are certain levels of value and productivity when you carry. All men, all men. That includes businessmen, all men, that includes diplomats, all men, all men. Look at the life of Jesus. Business Men came to him, children came to him. In fact, ignorant people came to him. The Bible talks about the men of David, that they came and met David in the cave of Adulam. These were men who were in debt. There were men who were distressed, and the Bible says David turned them to become mighty men. They were so mighty. One time he said, oh, that I would drink of the pool of Bethlehem. And those men they went and defeated armies and brought down people. Skill, mastery, excellence. They fetched the water had brought and he said, no, you've shed too much blood. I can't take this. One of them. The men was so mighty. The Bible said he stood at one point holding the sword. He defeated eight hundred people, and the sword would not leave his hands. Same mastery. To this world is a world that does not tolerate mediocrity by any standard whatsoever, value and productivity. As a preacher, you are not excelling just because you. Are preaching the Gospel. No, from a spiritual someandpoint, yes, but you are excelling ministry to the degree to which you are communicating value, even though spiritual in context, it is life applicable. Number one, you are connecting men to faith. Number three, you are introducing superior world based ideas that transform their minds, ideas that they can translate into results in their daily life. Value the gift of a man makes room. Watch this. Do you know what it means to make? To make means? Until it is made, there was no space. Most people just imagine there's a space for me somewhere. There's no space for you. You're created by your value. The table of greatness is always fieled. It is your value that brings your own share and shifts people and qualifies you to sit there. We're not called to do. Everything, but in that one thing that can give you an edge in life, you must obtain grace from God and set to to do it exceptionally well. The Bible talks about a. Young man in Genesis chapter forty and chapter forty one called Joseph. Joseph had the grace to interpret dreams and with it to profit very superior solutions, and so he had been in the prison for a number of years plus two years added as a result of the carelessness of the wine presser, are we together? When it was time for God to elevate, to accelerate, and to lift him, God decided to create a problem and shot the heavens over the diviners. Because kings in those days had men medium who communicated with the realm of the spirit. This time around, the heavens were shot over. Them, and the Bible says the wine presser said, I remember my wrong this day, and the king sent for Joseph. They brought him out of his dungeon, and the king narracted the dream, and with the mastery of a professional. He laughed. He said, King, save yourself distress. I know the interpretation. He said, God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace. And he begins to give him that that interpretation, and now the solution. He said, let Pharaoh look for a man who is so discrete and wise. It was a diplomatic way of saying, I dare. You find it. If you will find a man that discrete and wise, you know you're just coming out of the prison. You have to talk well, so you don't go back there. So he said, let Pharaoh find a man. When he had been searchled for men before the arrival of Joseph, as they don't like me just because of my tribe. I agree, I sympathize with you, but that's not the reason. There is a level of mastery that. Vetos gender issues, vetos all kinds of sentiments. Believe me when I tell you I was listening to the testimon only of the lady who could share before I came up, how that her cooperation was almost pleading, with her giving her treatments. Now in this same Nigeria, are we together. Listen? You can use competence, value, productivity to define your possibilities. Now listen, please the door of greatness. One day the Lord taught me this. The realm of greatness has two doors. There are two entrances to the realm of greatness. Number one is the door of value. Number two is the door of need. When you entire the door of greatness through the realm of need, you become a slave there because it was your need that brought you there. You are at the messy of anything and anyone there. But when you entire the realm of greatness through the door of value, even the great will acknowledge you as a colleague. So many of you want to be make every man's need is his point of contact. If you come to me begging, or you come to me contributing to my life, I will most likely pay attention to the one who is contributing to my overall well being. Am I right on that? This is a very powerful secret. There are people who when you see their texts, you know they're about to beg Calvary greetings. It's not about the greeting at all. This is after one year one year old text messages. The rent has expired. I'm not being sarcastic, just for your. Knowledge, Calvary greetings. How are you today? I hope you are doing well. Your children fine? You just send the other text, the real text that should come. That is the door of need. Many of you have been trying to access great men through the door of need. I'm still here. Everybody has a need. His need is his point of con Are we learning value and productivity when it has to do with being valuable? You must obtain grace and discipline. Fine tune what you know now in business, like you know, this is a morning session. So I'm at liberty. There is what we call the law of compensation, and the law of compensation in business stakes that our rewards in life will always be in exact proportion to three things. Number one, the need for what we do. Number two, our. Ability skill proficiency in doing what we do. Number three the difficulty in replacing us. That means the. Rewards that come to you in life, first being financial, and then every other kind of reward it comes to you in response to these three things. Number one, the need or demand for what you do. Number two, your ability to do what you do, and number three the difficulty in replacing you. It is true that no man is indispensable, but make yourself so hard to find another. You don't be so easily replaceable. Don't become a final option when other options have been exhausted and then it looks like they can't find them, and say, okay, since you are here, can you help us. You can transit to a revel. Listen until you serve kings. Don't stop growing. Don't say I am serving people. If you do not serve kings, you are not yet rising. Apostle, I am a fashion designer. Who are you dressing? You cannot receive the reward of the palace if you are serving outside the palace, and the king send the Bible talks about many people. Who win the way building the temple. There were many people that were brought because of their conning skills. I made up my mind as a covenant, as a man of God and one who desires a great destiny that I will never go anywhere in my life where people just say thank you, well done, and you have a nice day, and I'm not sure that you are needed again now. And I knew the key was not just to pray alone. To buy the truth based student of knowledge. Take away ignorance together with the embarrassment it brings from your life. Drive two of them. Away, value, productivity. Man of God. If you are not on the pulpit, can you speak to businessmen? Can you speak to diplomats? Have you worked upon yourself? Don't bring tribal or emotional sentiments? Are you so competent that patronizing you does not become a risk? Can I recommend you and sleep without feeling guilty that I did evil to the person I recommended you too? Have ten more minutes. Let's do number six. Thank you Jesus. Is someone changing? You? See that the you that came to church is not the you living. You will look for the you that came and not find it again in the name of Jesus Christ. And you see, ignorant people will. Look at your results tomorrow and say you are so lucky. So you sit them down and say, what I am by the grace of God. But disgrace was not showered on me in that I labeled more than you all. It is the. Ignorance that plagues our world. Every time we see great people, we say they were fortunate. Really, no, there are certain results that do not happen by locke. He that strives for masstere is not crowned unless his strives and accept his stribes lawfully. Let's do number six, so we end for this morning. Are you ready for number six? The sixth principle that governs the enviable rising of men is called the power of relationships. Pastor spoke about that yesterday, The power of relationships Genesis chapter twelve, from verse one to four. Please let's hurry up one to four, so God blesses. Abraham and speaks proposes a blessing to him. Let's just jump to these three. Verse two now says three says in this shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Verse four now he says, so Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken to him. I liked the next expression, and Lot went with him. God never called Lot. Lord had that God was working with Abraham, and he said, I'm going with you, and Lot went with him. When you go to chapter thirteen for sake of time, from verse one to five, you will now discover that everything Abraham had, Lot had too. You would not even know who God called and who followed, to the point that there were contentions. But watch this, there is a powerful lesson there. The one who followed made a foolish mistake. He forgot that their nunting was not on him. It was the benefit of relationships. He would have managed that quarrel wisely. The first decision Lot will make outside of the influence of Abraham ended him in Sodom and Gomorrah. He lost everything, and he depleted to become like his former self. It took the same Abraham to negotiate his preservation with God. There are relationships. You must swallow your pride and never fight. Listen, there are three kinds of relationships. Generally number one, there are general relationships. We call it the Bible mandates that were good to all men. You meet people on the street, you meet people everywhere, greet them, be. Good to all men. Honor all men, than honor the King. Number two, there are seasonal relationships. These relationships are in your life for a moment and for a season, and the key to maximizing them is to discernd the value they bring first so that you are able to receive it the moment the season for that relationship is done. It to no longer bless you, and you must have the courage to transit when the season is the season comes to one end. The third is covenant relationships. These are destiny relationships that the success of your entire life depends on them. An example is your relationship with God. Covenant relationships. These are the kinds of relationships that you need to swallow your pride, and for no reason should you cut away from certain people because they have an investment in your destiny that they must make. Are we together? Now? Let me show you one more scripture. In Matthew chapter four from verse eighteen and nineteen. Matthew four eighteen and nineteen. The Bible says, and Jesus walking by the Sea of Galilee saw two brethren until they met Jesus, they were only called brethren. Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers. Let's read verse nineteen together. And he said on to them, follow me and I will make you stop there. Please follow me, and I will make you. That means whoever you are following has an influence on you. Follow me. Just follow me, and I will make you. Follow me, and I will make you a responsible leader. Follow me, and you will turn into an umbroba, respectfully speaking for someone. There are good people whose destruction started when they started following certain people. Am I right on that? Follow me and I will make you Follow me, and I will make you follow me and I will lift you. Follow me and you will go down. There were two both incidences in the Bible. The first had a prophet who was running away from God called Jonah, and because of his presence in that boat, people lost their lives. They had gone to do business, They almost lost their lives. They lost everything they had. They literally threw away all their investments to preserve their life. And the man who was causing the trouble was sleeping. Is it not in your Bible? Later on the walking and said, are you okay? What is Look at this? They cast lots and it fell on him, and he says, true. And the reason for this They said, what do we do now? I say, you have to throw me out of this boat. You thought The people said, ah, that's too harsh. They threw him out in a moment because they had lost their they had lost too many things. They saw, you are the one here, go out so that we can have peace, and they threw him. Truly, God rescued him later, but as far as their salvation was concerned, he needed to be out of that boat versus another story when men were in a boat and there was a storm and another man called Jesus was sleeping, and this time around keeping him there and waking him was the key to their salvation. Two men in a boat. One was the reason for failure and depletion, and not that was the reason for preservation. Beware who you are carrying in the boat of your destiny. Beware Alleluyah. Everything in life advances on the basis of relationships. Everything everything in life plants, animals, They multiply, and they advance on the basis of relationship. Without relationship, there is no multiplication, and there is no advancement. Microbiology teaches us at a cellular level that the way that sells multiply to become an organism, it happens by breaking multiplication repeatedly, again and again until it becomes a full organism. Everything in life multiplies on the basis of relationship. I'm not going to teach it, but let me talk to you about destiny helpers. You may have heard me teach it. It's a revelation that changed my life. I will least four kinds of people that you must cry and pray even this morning, that God brings to your life. Allelujah. Destiny helpers are men and women ordained, commission and sent by God to assist you in actualizing destiny. They are not men who free lance your life. They are ordained, They are commissioned. They are sent by God into your life to assist you in your advancing and your destiny adventure. Allelujah. This is very important. When the prophet came to the woman in Zaraphath, the Bible says that God commanded him to go there. But when you went there, the woman was meeting him as a stranger. It didn't sound like there was any preparation there. But he was the reason for her, for her preservation. These four groups of people the Lord showed me by revelation, and it has changed my life. Can I run through the list as we wrap up? Number one divine connectors. This is the first category of destiny. Help us you must cry for who are divine connectors? They do not have the solution you are looking for, but they know somebody who knows somebody who can connect you. They are called divine connectors. An example was the slave girl in the house of Norman. She could not heal Naman, but she could take him to a prophet who could heal her had he If not that slave girl, he would. Die let pross forever. An example of divine of divine connectors the men who carried the creepled man and brought to the crusade of Jesus. They told the roof and brought that man. They were determined that you will be healed. Do you know the problem of the man in Bethesda was not his weakness. When Jesus asked him, what is your condition here? He said, I have no man. I have no man. I am not the angel that stears the water, but I can help you. Everybody who was hell there was healed. Therefore because there was a man to assist them. There divine connectors. The key to receiving it from divine connectors is honor and discernment, because they will always come in a form that is not desirable. For instance, your househelp like the precious woman who. Gave that story divine connectors. If you only respect people of pedigree and class, get ready to learn a bitter lesson in life. A conductor who is driving a car can hand over an invitation to you, and that invitation will be where that medical condition will come to an end. The key is to discern number two. Men of influence. The second category of destiny help us you must cry for to come into your life, are called men of influence. These men have the track record and they have the credibility. They have the ears of systems and structures. Their endorsements can become a leverage to your life in a moment. Divine connectors are wonderful, but they are not enough for destiny actualization. You need men and women of influence, and I'm praying that God will bring those kinds of people to your life. And a lawyer one signature in legos. Help him. The man whill not write his name, he will write his signature. The person you are to take you to knows what he's saying there. Help him. Kindly assist. It can be in a paper you find on the ground. Kindly assist. And the man is about to throw you out and says, where did you get this? What you are holding is not a pay What you are holding is history of transforming the man who is holding that paper? How do I throw this man out? Now? Okay, you come in. Let me tell you the truth. If God says yes and men say no, your yes will remain in the spirit. For that years to be made manifest. It is both the Spirit and the bride that must say come. If God says be healed, and there is no man to echo that healing, you will not be healed. The Spirit and the bride God in partnership with men. Number three gifted men the third category of destiny. Help us that you need are gifted men. Sometimes you just need men of skill and excellence. The assignment of these people is to produce efficiency in your life. Global corporations all across the globe they excel today because they have mastered the art of bringing to together skillful people. When no matter how well intentioned people are, if they are not skillful, you will not produce results. If they are not skillful, there will be a lot of waste in your life and your organization. Away together you'll meet to get waste by bringing together skillful people, divine connectors, men of influence. Skillful people, and the last of the destiny helpers that you need in your life are called boden bearers. These men are very unique people. They cannot move you forward, but their assignment is to stop you from going backward. They are men who love you for you, not for your office, not for your status. When all is said and done, because you see, I hate to be the bureau of bad news. What I will tell you, According to the law of seasons and the law of time and chance, everybody will find yourself carrying across one day. The way to the throne is the cross. Even Jesus, the miracle walking Jesus got to a point where he was on his way to gold, gotter drained because he had bled so much. The Bible says he fell. If Jesus died on the ground, would not be saved. He needed to die as a cross on a tree. A burden bearer called Simon of Sirene was now fetched, and he came and helped him carry the cross to gold gotter even salvation needed the ministry of boden beearers. Can I tell you walk besides a man, that when you are in your downtimes in life, there is no body divine connectors cannot help you in. The day of adversity. Men of influence may not do you much give ten men may not help you, But a burden bearer will cry with you, a burden bearer. Out of all the people Jesus raised that lifted, there were. Only two with him at the cross, his mother and John, including Peter, who said I would not go anywhere he ran in a moment. He later repented. I agree, But as far as the cross is concerned. He was not there. Can I tell you, if you ever believe you're a celebrity, you are right. But I want you to think well. Out of the many. People clapping for you, I hope you have been able to find body and bearers, because they will come. Those who are saying become king, who say crucify him. They et your bread at the crusade. But they will still say crucify him. They will even go further to say, let his blood be on our children. That is the interesting thing about the law of seasons. There will always be seven years of fatness and seven lean years. He said, this dreamer, you have heard twice. It is established. It cannot fail. There is always rainy season. You may have heard me say it. As we call it. Rainy season always comes with a letter from dry season, I am coming, And dry season always comes with a letter from rainy season, I am also coming. It does not matter what season you're in. Every season comes with a letter from the season to come. If you are enjoying seven years of abundance, do what Joseph recommended, because there will be seven. Seasons of farming. And even if you are Samaria going through a season of farming, make sure you read the letter that comes from that season, that it will not last forever. There is nothing new under the sun. Have you been blessed this morning? Rise upon your faith. Allelujah apologizes for stretching your time just to prayer points, and we're done this morning. Lift your hands to Heaven and thank Him for what you have heard. The Bible says, Blessed are your ears for the hear. Blessed are your eyes for the sea. Thank you Jesus, someone's brain, thank him for this that you have heard. It says. Now that you know this, happier you. If you do them. Six keys you were given this morning. Number one your spiritual connection. Number two that you were given is your after your spiritual connection? What's the second? Yes? What's the third light? What's the fourth? Ah? You've forgotten already. What's number five? Value and productivity? What's the sixth? Can I tell you all these keys with confidence? You'll get to a door you such, you will find the key, you will open it. You will go to a door you such, you will open it. You go to a door, you search, you open it. I guarantee you you all these keys, you would tame life like an animal, the. Same way men tame. Dogs and use them for their advantage. Hallelujah. Now I want to make a request, and that at the permission of your pastor that, if you will allow, I want to please request that you come with a prayer request. If that is fine, to come with a prayer request. Usually I wrap up my sessions when I have an opportunity to minister to people like this is a grace that He's given so that we can agree together as a family of faith that. God will bring miracles for people. Sir, will that be fine? Okay? So as you come tonight is going to be an extraordinary moment. Please invite every body I hope that will have the chance to pray for the sick, speak over your life and then will pray over this request that any Egyptian that you see today, that you will see them no more forever. May the Lord bless you, the Lord increase you in Jesus' name,
