For someone, your prayer is restore me, oh God, for someone, your prayeres increase me, Oh God, for someone, your prayer is like japes. Oh that dowd would has bless me and enlarge my coast. Alleluiah, Halleluiah. In the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible says, now the Lord is that spirit. And he says where the Spirit of the Lord is, he can be everywhere, but he does not manifest everywhere. But if you do find that place. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, he says, you will know he is there because the will be liberty, liberty. And then it says we all listen carefully with unveiled face, beholding him. As in a mirror, it says we are changed. We are changed. Everybody here understands a mirror and what it does. If you want to look excellent, if you want to vet whether what you are doing or your look is good or bad, you go to the mirror, and as you look at the mirror. It gives you the basis to begin to make adjustments. Is that true? Yeah, there may be a few materials on your head or on your cloth. You may not easily know until you stand in front of the mirror. When you stand in front of the mirror, you will now begin to make adjustments. So the Bible says, as we behold him, you know what happens when we behold him. When we behold him, we see ourselves as should be, not as it is. So when you look at the mirror, the mirror will reflect something back. I'm telling you should not be at this level. And then, like you correct yourself when you're looking at a physical mirror, you begin to adjust. When you look at the mirror, you will see how your finances should be. When you look at the mirror, you see how your spiritual life should be. I like you to pray one prayer, open my eyes to see Lord. I need to see things as should be. Someone is praying. I'm here to look at that mirror. We've come to draw, draw, draw, draw from you again. We've come to draw. From frow from you. Agay, we've gone to throw. From you. Again. Allelujah. Look up please, And it says, sometimes the mirror does not only help you to adjust. The mirror also reveals there can be times that you are looking for something that is even on your shoulder, and you may not know that the order the stocking is there, and you are suching around, But when you look at the mirror, it can. See that it's been closer to you all the while. That I've been suching around, looking from pillar to post, whereas what I've been looking around is within rich It's only because I could not look through the mirror. The mirror reveals, Father revealed it can't it can't listen. You need to pray and say, Father, whatever it is that I've been searching around for, you are too messiful to make me go on that. Johnny, there's something I'm not getting right. Show me, show me someone pray. Let it be from the depth of your heart. Show me. Let that mirror someone is crying on to God. Take the meeting serials. Don't look around, pray. Show me. Let the mirror reveal. Shut back postilakata, Let the mirror reveal. Let the mirror reveal. Get de ba lac a tapran, get de ba lac atche oh. Let the mirror reveal. Let the mirror reveal something about my destiny. In the name of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, Allelujah, God bless you place be seated. They go from strength to strength as many as appear before the Lord in Zion. It is important for you to realize that you are changing. You must believe it as a revelation that you are changing. It is impossible, very impossible to be in this kind of atmosphere week in week out and remain the same. You may not see it the same way. You may not know what is happening to the seed that is sown in the earth, but something is happening. Allelujah. Realize that you are changing. The Bible says that we live in this kingdom through food and through words. If you eat physical food alone, you will not live well. You need food and words. Man shall not live by bread alone, he says, but by every word that proceeds from. The mouth of God Father. We give you all the praise in the name of Jesus. It will not tire me. To encourage us to be very intentional and to be very serious about every service. Every meeting. By the privilege of God's grace, every meeting is tail or made by God himself and by the privilege of wisdom to attend to specific areas of our lives. Allelujah. I can assure you of one thing, as I would always say, you will never come for any service where you will live and say my time was wasted. No, Allelujah, he said, I was glad when they said, unto me, let us go to the house. Of the Lord. You can go to a place that looks like the house of the Lord and return back knowing it was not the house of the Lord. But if it is the house of the Lord, there are many things that must happen there. One of it is enlightenment, growth by the wisdom and the power of the Spirit. Allelujah. I wanted to pay very close attention to tonight's teaching Keys to Destiny Fulfillment. I want to teach and then will pray. Will be praying many times in the course of the teaching Keys to Destiny Fulfillment. The Lord is going to be answering a lot of questions tonight, and I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that at the end of this service, someone will walk out of this place rejoicing in the name of Jesus Christ. By reason of this teaching, someone's morning will be turned to dancing. Someone's sorrow will be turned to joy in the name of Jesus Christ. And for someone. While you are here listening, may God be where you should have been if you were not here, preparing things for you in the name of Jesus. And I say it from the depth of my heart that while you are here listening, it is a matter. You are worried and upset about many things, he said, But one thing is needful, and this Mary has chosen. Probably you would have been buying and selling something, doing a few things, and you left. All of that. You have chosen that one thing for some of you. Because of this choice, there are things you would not need to do again. God will send men ahead of you in the name of Jesus Christ. When Saul met with sam Well and received the world of the Lord from some Well, he didn't need to go back and look for the donkey that was missing. That encounter equaled restoration. The donkey went back home to wait for him. There number two. He didn't need to glance that searching for bread after that encounter. Supply was in that encounter. As he returned, he found three men holding two loaf of bread. They saluted him and gave it to him. There are people who have been holding many things. They don't know why they've not been able to use it. They are holding it for you that God has kept them as caretakers because the season is coming where God will instruct and when the Father of Spirit speaks. I assure you, they will release it to you in the name of Jesus Christ. For someone here. God will take a harvest, a harvest worth year's worth of harvest, and bring to you as a gift in the name of Jesus Christ. Keys to destiny, fulfillment. Write the word destiny down. Please write the word destiny down. Want to discuss the matter of purpose and destiny as we pray tonight. There are many people today who live purposeless, visionless lives, defeated in utter frustration. And many of them would tell you sincerely that it seems like they're looking for something meaning, relevance. In their lives. And as I would always say, the only thing you find growing in their life is their age. They do not justify the gift of time and years with anything that is pro kingdom, with anything that makes for a meaningful life. So a tragedy. Our world is full of these kinds of people, even our environment, and it ought not to be so. And like I would always say, the bailout, the spiritual bailout system for people's confusion and the tragedies around their life is the ministry of the teaching priests. If people are not enlightened, I'm spiritually oriented to understand the ways of God and then make decisions from that standpoint of knowledge. Most people will begin to waste their lives. Even though they may have a zemblance of spirituality, they will not really find for fell and it is dangerous. Dr Miles Monroe would teach us that there is one thing. Greater than or worse than death, to live without a life of purpose, a life of fulfillment. When you are alive and you are just existing, that your life is not counting, Your life is not making. Any impact at all. Allelujah. Destiny, very important word. What is the meaning of this world? Destiny? Please write? Destiny generally means a predetermined future. When we talk about destiny, we're talking about a predetermined future. Generally speaking, destiny refers to a predetermined future for the believer. Destiny means God's predetermined plan, purpose and place, God's predetermined plan, God's predetermined purpose, and God's predetermined place for you in his program. God's predetermined plan, God's predetermined purpose, God's predetermined place. In his program. So when we talk about destiny, we talk about his plan, his purpose, and his place for you as far as his agenda and his program is concerned. Allelujah. Now, this word destiny is very important. Others define it as your destination in Christ. Others define it as where you ought to be or where you should be at the end of the span of your life, the summation of everything that you do daily, weekly, monthly, yearly that culminates to a life of meaning and fulfillment and purpose. There are many people who just enjoy the passage. Of time, and they pass along and never understand the concept of destiny, nor the keys are located to fulfilling their glorious destiny. Three scriptures very quickly Jeremiah, chapter twenty nine and verse eleven. Please write Jeremiah twenty nine and verse eleven. It says, for I know the thoughts that I think towards you, say the Lord, they are thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end. Please say an expected end. That means God is not scratching his head right now wondering what to do with you. There is already a blueprint for your life. That is good news because regardless where you are and what challenge you have in front of you now, the Bible says there is an expected end away together. Now. For some of you who watch movies, sometimes when. You're watching movies, you're kept in suspense, especially if a movie that is a new release, and you can be watching and you want to you you wish that you knew the end you know and the suspense. You're being captured in that suspense and you're watching what will happen to this? But when the movie director or the owner of the project, as he sits to watch interestingly, he will not be as excited as you, as far as he will be excited to see his walk blessing you, but he won't be in that kind of suspense. You know why because it designed the entire thing from start to finish. So while that suspense, your heart is pounding, you are standing not knowing when you are holding your pillow, and all kinds of reactions a person is just watching with calmness. You know why, who was the music the movie director. God isn't in the panic just because you are panicking about your future. Don't you think God is joining you in that panic. He's in the end of it. Are weay together while you are wondering what will become of my life in twenty twenty two? What will become of my life in the next ten years? Sometimes we are tempted to think because we're in panic and shouting, God is joining us in that lamentation. Remember he is called Alpha Omega. He does not just see. He designed the end himself. It's not like someone designed it and gave him the privilege to see. It is his design, It is his wisdom. And he says here in Jeremiah twenty ninety eleven, I know the thoughts that I think towards you. They are thoughts of peace and not of evil. It's important to know that in God's plan for your life, he did not prepare evil, meaning he did not prepare shame, meaning he did not prepare pain. Anything that makes for an eventual destruction of your life is not part of God's program. An expected end. Second Scripture efficients Chapter two and verse ten, efficients chapter two and verse ten. He's what the Bible says. We are his workmanship. Do you know what that means? The tools that he uses for exploits. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus on two good works which God had before or damned, that we should work in. It is someone reading God ordained he legitimized that you should walk in them. So God is not wondering what to do with my life and your life. God is not hoping that by the time you get your attention, then he gets your attention, then he will now start thinking of what to do. The Bible says that He had already ordained that. We should work in them. The last scripture Hebrews, chapter ten, verse seven. These are all. Scriptures that validate scripturally the reality of this concept of destiny. Then said I lo I come in the volume of the book. It is written of me to do thy will O God, lo I come in the volume of the book, not just in the volume of my wish, my desire. It's been well documented all that I would come to do. Allelujah. Everyone please say after me, say I was born for a reason. You will think what I'm saying is very simple until I begin to unveil certain things for you in the course of this discussion. Say it again, I was born for a reason one more time. Let the devil hear you. Let the altar wanting to fight you hear you. Now it is dangerous if you were not born. For a reason. I was born for a reason. That means I refuse to die just like that, I was born for a reason. Are we together? And then it's important for you to know that you have a destiny. You have a destiny even in christ. Facts about destiny. I want to give you three very powerful facts that there are many many facts to know about destiny, but I hand picked three that are very important for our discussion tonight. It is not enough to just know generally about destiny. You have to understand that there are a few facts. These truths represent the foundations for actualizing destiny. Number one, every man was born for a reason. Every man this is This is the first fact about destiny. You have to understand. Every man was born for a reason. Write this down, Lise. Still under that point, your purpose for existence represents the solution you were sent to bring to our world. Your purpose for. Existence represents the solution, the solution you were brought to bring or give to humanity. So every man was born for a reason. Your purpose for existence is the solution you were born or brought to bring, very very powerful. Every man is born for a reason. Every man is born for a reason. You have to know this fact. Romance, Chapter eight and verse thirty. Romance Chapter eight and verse thirty. The Bible says moreover, whom he did predestinate, is it in your Bible? Them he also called, and whom he called he also justified, And whom he justified he also glorified. One more time, prophest I was born for a reason. John Chapter eighteen. Please from thirty seven and thirty eight. John Chapter eighteen, Pilot, this was Jesus before Pontio's pilot. Pilot therefore said, unto him, art thou a king? Then Jesus answered, thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born? And for this cause came I into the world. That means I didn't just leave Heaven to come and roam around the earth. To this end was I born? And for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness onto the truth everyone that is of the truth. Here read my voice thirty eight next verse, Now Pilot said, unto him, what is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again onto the Jews and said, I find. No fault in him at all. The moment the issue of purpose and destiny. Came, there was no basis for accusation. For as long as this man was in purpose, he could not find anything against him. For this cause, I came, this is the reason why I was born so fat. Number one every man. Every man is born for a reason. Your purpose for existence represents your solution that God brought you to give to your world. Fact number two. Please, this is very important. Your destiny has been predetermined by God, but it takes your choices and decisions to actualize it or miss out on it. I will take it again. Your destiny has been predetermined by God. It's a very important fact to know that your destiny has been predetermined by God, but it takes your choices and your decisions to actualize it or to miss out in it. Your destiny has been predetermined by God, but it takes your choices and your decisions to actualize it. That means to come into the experien ends of it or to miss out on it. This is very powerful. Deteronomy Chapter thirty will start from verse fifteen. The Turonomy chapter thirteen. The verse of emphasis is verse nineteen, but let's start from verse fifteen. See I have said before thee this day life and good, death and evil next verse, in that I commanded this day to love the Lord thy God, and to walk in his ways, to keep his commandments and his turtles and his judgments, that thou may as live and multiply, and that the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land. Wither thou goest to possess it seventeen, But if thy hand shall turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shall be drawn away and worship. Other gods and serve them. Next verse, I denounce onto you this day that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prove long your days upon the land. With that thou passes over Jordan to go and possess it. Let's read verse nineteen together. Ready, want to read. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have said before you life and death, ahah blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life, that both thou and thy seed may leave. Is that in your Bible. So it is true that your destiny has been preordained predetermined by God. But it will take your choices and your decisions. To determine whether you will come into the experience of it or you will lose out on it. This is a very powerful fact. About destiny to learn, because there are many people who think just being aware that you have a glorious destiny utraumatically means you will step into it. Fact number three very sad, but very true. Destiny can be aborted. Fact number three destiny can be aborted. You can lose out in destiny. It is very possible that you can lose out. While not talking of delay, while not talking of distraction, it is very possible that you will not leave out the script of your destiny. Acts Chapter one, Please very quickly from verse fifteen. Acts Chapter one from verse fifteen. And in those days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples and said the number of all of them together were one hundred and twenty Uh huh. Next verse men and brethren, he said, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy goes by the amount of David spake before concigning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus seventeen For he was numbered with us and have ortained part of this ministry. Residing your Bible. He was numbered with us and did what obtain. Parts that means a portion of impact. Was given to him. Eighteen. Now this man purchased a field. With the reward of iniquity, say choices, said decisions, and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst and all his boels gosh out next verse. And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem insomuch that the field is called in the proper tongue a caldema, which is to say, the field of blood. Twenty For it is written in the book of Sam's. Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein, and let his bishopric let another take keep that scripture. There was anybody's name mentioned there. Somebody used the power of choices and decisions to activate that prophecy. There was no name of Judas. Written there, but somebody used the power of choices and decisions to attract a prophetic word. That David said, without even knowing what he said, it is written. Twenty one. Wherefore, of these men which have companied with us all the time, and all of this and that twenty two, beginning. From the baptism of John onto that same day. As it was taken to heaven, must one be ordained to be a weakness with us of his resurrection. Next verse it says, and they appointed too, called Barsabas, Joseph called Barsabas, who was sonamed Justus and Matthias twenty four now, and they prayed and said, now, Old Lord, which knows the hearts of men, show us which of these two were reading to twenty six next verse, that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas. By transgression, fell. By transgression, not preordination. He's losing out on the ministry was not preordination. He used the power of his choices to destroy the potential to. Be called apostle Judas. Only God knows what else would have learned about God from his apostleship. Are we together? Last verse twenty six Now it says, and they give forth their lots. And the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleventh apostles question do you see there that Matthias was not out of the twelve people Jesus chose. He did not choose Matthias to be the twelfth. Is that true? Yes? But the people came and said, because someone has created. A vacuum in destiny, we must pray and say, Lord, we cannot allow this vacuum bit like that. Let someone feel that vacuume. May nobody replace you in the name of Jesus Christ, the position and the place that God has a math for you, and saying it again, May God not wait and wait and wait and wait and find out that that vacuum is there destroying others, other people's destinies, wasting that God want to take someone and replace you. I rebuke that thing from your life in Jesus name. Nobody will take your bishopric in the name of Jesus. Can I tell you the truth? There are people on edge today that the assignment they're living today is not the original script for them. They were so faithful in their own God still added the assignment of unfaithful people and multiplied grace upon their lives. It is true that a man can start this is the cause of. Destiny that God prepares for you, but because of your own faithfulness and on seriousness of another person. Do you know that if you do not live out purpose. And destiny, every body whose destiny was connected to you will also have to wait. And God will not punish inno certain people because of your refusal to rise. So God will have to look for a willing vessel. And where there is no willing vessel, he will find somebody who is already walking and say, can I trust you and give you a greater anointing and still measure a towns and cubits for you? Because in this entire you will see people who are serving tables later become evangelists. And you are wondering what happened? What is the relationship between welfare and the crusade ground. The person was doing his assignment in welfare very well, but the person who should be in that crusade ground was wasting his time. And God said, I cannot delay, I can't punish people like this. I can allow souls to be dying whereas the person with that mantle is not rising. You will see an ordinary person working in the welfare department, just prophetically speaking, carry an anointing that was not in the original script of his life. Every man was born for a reason. Fact number two. Your destiny is pretty determined by God, but it will take your choices and. Your decisions. To enter into the experience of it or to miss out in it. And sadly, destiny can be aborted. Destiny can be aborted. Keys. Let me give you the keys. Now, I'm going to give you six of them. Then I will teach on something very very powerful that I believe is an explanation to many people's seasons in destiny, and then will pray. If God is blessing you already say amen. Before I continue, I like you to lay your hands on your head and say, Lord, I'm still available. If for any reason something about my life is beginning to make you rethink your confidence about me. I am asking O God that I am still available. By your messy, I am still available. Someone pray I am still available. I am still available. I am still available. I still can be trusted for someone. You maybe praying and say, Lord, in spite of everything wasting my time, I'm wasting my years, I am still available. May your message still give me a chance to life. Lord. If you're heeling someone in this nation, don't do it without me. Don't do with without me. Lord. If you're leveting someone in this nation, don't do it without me. Don't do it without me. Lord. If you're raising someone in this nation, don't do with me without me. If someone still praying one minute, will lay your hands on your head and say, Father, nothing will take my place in life. I will not stand to watch another person fulfill my assignment because of unfaithfulness, because of carelessness. I intend to fulfill that which is in the volume of the book. For me shall geta b lahas. In the name of Jesus, the son of the Living God. Please see that one right. Lend your destiny your attention. Now. I want to give you six keys, really about seven. Number one. Are you ready the first key. If you want to fulfill your glorious destiny in Christ. The first non negotiable key is discovery. You have to discover and find your place. You must find your place, and you must be very aware of God's prophetic blueprint for your life. Hebrews Chapter ten and verse seven. Let's work with a few scriptures, media, Let's work together Hebrews ten seven. Law I come in the volume of the book as it is written of me to do thy will o God. So where do you find where it was written concerning you? In the volume of the book? Of course, of where do I find it? It is written concerning you in. The volume of the book. If you throw away the book, you've thrown away the revelation of your destiny too. You try away the book, you try away the revelation of your destiny. Where do we find our destinies in Christ? It is in the volume of the book. A weay together, very powerful proverbs Chapter twenty five and verse two. Proverbs twenty five and verse two. Let's ready together, very powerful scripture. Ready one to read. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings to such out a matter. Everybody says such out that It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the. Honor of kings to such it out. How do I find my destiny? Such it out? You such it out with scripture? This is very powerful. There are three principal channels, as revealed from scrip that reveal our place of destiny and purpose in life. There are many, but three principles. Number one, the word of God, like I said the volume of the book The Word of God. Number two, your abilities and your giftings please write it down. Your abilities and your giftings are pointers to your purpose and pointers to your destiny. Your abilities and your giftings. Can I be sincere with you? Every time you do not connect your gift and your ability to purpose, Satan is going to use it. Everybody you see who Satan is using mightily, it is God's gifts in that person Satan is using. It is not like Satan gave the person the gift. Satan found a very effective tool in the life of that person, but not connected to purpose. Generally speaking, you see, anything that is. Not connected to purpose does not have value in itself. The value of anything is with respect to its connection to purpose and destiny. So just obtaining things and not connecting them to purpose will only be acquisitions that will lead to futility. It must be connected to purpose. If someone learning you find your place in destiny number one from the World of God, you find your place in destiny number two by examining your abilities and your giftings. There's something God has put from within your spirit that should be used. David. Your ability to sling, and to throw the sling with uncanny. Mastery is not just a hobby ah ah. The courage is giving you to be able to tear the lion and the pier. It's not for nothing. Your music acumen, the ability to be able to sing. Keep it, because one day you will write psalms and hymns and even spiritual songs. Listen, you must make a commitment tonight that everything God has put within me, I must identify it. It is amazing how that so many people have not taken the time to carefully and gratefully search out the many valuable abilities and gift things that God has put within your spirit. Any time you do not discover your giftings and the things that are valuable within you, you know what. Satan would do. He would make you feel less of yourself and you will begin to admire people that you do not even have, who do not even have the components of value that is within you. There is no body who does not have an ability from God. Allelujah. Is someone learning very powerful? One of our little ones came the other time. I think I was teaching in school of ministry, and something very interesting happened. The young lady came to me and she came and tapped me and said that they were listening to my message. And she told she told her mother that a personal is not pronouncing purpose. Well, that is purpose, not purpose. I was watching the girl. I said, oh, dear, you see now my mind. I said, all right, So may God raise her to become a public speaker or becoming a woman of God. I mean, she's already there if at that age. So she came and she was trying to She was trying to correct me, to let me know that this is how they pronounced it properly. I said, ah, these are the people who went to school now away together. Let me tell you where most of you buried your giftings. It came because of the tragedy of your foundation. Did you hear what I said, the tragedy of an inaccurate foundation. Some of the giftings that were finding expression, it was the Holy Spirit revealing them. To let those around us know that this noise making ability is not just talkativeness. There is something and it is being mismanaged. But this is a baby revealing something. There were children with different abilities that if parents had the discernment to identify did you know that it's the awareness of these giftings that should help the parents direct the children eventually on what they should study or become. Unfortunately, many people buried their gifts to be able to honor the desire of parents. And I'm saying this respectfully. So there are people who are wallowing in destiny with certificates and degrees and several qualifications, and there is nothing in it that is. Related to purpose and destiny. Some of the people you see that excel even academically. In many cases, those people found themselves either by favor or just pure luck, practicing and studying things that are in sync with the abilities that are within them. So it's like a fish swimming in water. But there are people who are beds. But they've suffocated you in water and said you must stay there. Some of you the pain of your childhood, some of you all kinds of things. That have happened to you. Poverty, suffering has buried away potentials. But in the name of Jesus, if Lazarus could come forth, I speak to that Dorman gift. I speak to that ability, that man. Of God that prophetes, that entrepreneur, that leader Joseph, that King, that Queen. In the name of Jesus, you must come back to life. Now. You must come back to life. Now, please sit down. Only God knows how many authors are dead within you who should write books that will mentor nations. Only God knows how many people potentials locktop some of us because of our backgrounds, Some person somewhere, even if we well intentioned, continue to minister to you that you do not have the power to become that which God has designed for you, and you believed it some of us, respectfully speaking. The kinds of schools we went, and the teachers around us, they use maybe your academic gratings, and they began to call you names that made you to permanently bury your giftings. Can I tell you your giftings and your abilities? A gentleman last week, I think he was. And I've received so many I don't know how many of my photos. They do portraits, they do all kinds of things with my photos, and I'm so grateful for the people who are thoughtful to have done that. And a gentleman. He came in I think from Kadunah State. I was just praying for people here and then this guy, I think it's almost the size of this this this pulpit, very beautiful. He drew it with his hand, and I mean you, it's about it should be. It should be, agreeably, one of the best portraits of myself that I've seen. And yet this guy just presented it to me and I said, my God. And there are many, many, many people who will pay millions of nyra to someone if they can't find a person who does this. But you will be surprised. Almost all the people within that person's family, they does know that he's carelessly doing something. Do you know. Let me tell you, Africa, we most wake up the spirit that makes us to destroy great visions at infancy. I cost that verity Jesus name, Allelujah. Discovery. So number one, the world of God. Helps you to discover your place, your purpose, your destiny. Number two your abilities and your giftings inherent abilities. Write them down, know them. Number three. Service. One of the most powerful channels and platforms to find your place in destiny is service, even. Service in the House of God. There are many people today who may not really know what it is that is within them until service gives them an opportunity to reveal it is someone learning very very important. Number two, let's hurry up. What is the second key? If you want to actualize destiny? Are you ready? Determination? Don't down play these keys you are receiving. Many have trivialized it to the detriment of your destinies. Determination, you must be determined to succeed. What is determination? On bandedness in pursuit? That means I am not giving up until I see my destiny become what God showed me in that vision. You may weep, but please don't start till you look just like him. You may cry. Please don't stop till your life looks like him. You may weep, Please don't start till your life looks like him. You may fall. Please don't start till you just like him. Determination Philippians, Chapter three, Please and verse thirteen on bendedness in pursuit That means you have set your face like a fling three thirteen Philippians. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended, he says, But this one thing I do. You know people of purpose and destiny because at every point in their life, there is the one thing they are doing. People who do too many things, they are not just busy bodies. Sometimes doing too many things is a revelation of purposelessness. This one thing I do forgetting those things that are behind and reaching forth onto those things which are before. I love this next verse, it says, I press this for me is the definition of determination. I press towards the mak. I press towards the mach. I press towards the mac. That means nothing will stop me. If God has said there is an entrepreneur. God has said there is a man of God. God has said there is a worship minister to sing his praises to the nations. Then I press towards the mac. Can I tell you determination requires courage because for the most part of your journey you will be alone. Don't expect people to believe in you at the infancy of your vision, and don't blame them if they don't believe in you. It is at the end the vision speaks. So for the most part of your journey to purpose and destiny, you will walk alone. But find comfort that though I walk through the value of the shadow of death. He says, I fear no evil for thou, not for you people, for thou. There is just one person you need to verify is here with me a person I'm unable to rise because nobody believes in me. You are not alone. Keep moving a post of what I think people like you. When they they start liking me, you go and find out there is nobody who is start liking and crapping for At the beginning, every vision looks like a failure from the beginning. It takes determination. Your determination will force failure to become success. So don't think it is anything special happening to you. Of course, of this ministry is not working. Who's on do you think walk? People forced it to walk? Members don't come to my church, my brother, you need to have determination by the spirit of God. All this free launch mentality is why we don't have champions in the kingdom. A crave for sympathy and and you must sustain the courage to walk alone. But when you will, I assure you you will not clap alone. Can I tell you this. There are few people in life who will be around those who are starting. They are called bodom bearers, and if you've read your Bible, they are not many. That's why I told you to pray for them. But I'm telling you you must trust the Holy Spirit as a chief bodom bearer, and be sure that if he is there, fire on. Do you know what determination is? If I perish, I perish. Many of us have Plan B, Plan C, plan to Plan Z. You will not be able to go forward that way. Winners have people who don't have Plan B. Lord have set my hand on this plow, and I will press determination apossible. But they're laughing at me. Most of the people who are laughing at you will be your strongest witnesses when you become great, because they will. Say, we saw it. I don't like this man, but I can't tell you I saw him. Can I tell you this? I'm praying tonight that God would take away this chicken hat or fear, fear. Of what people will say? What will people say back? That take away? And you need a lion's hat if you want to be great, whether you are Jesus or Satan, people will talk. They talk about Jesus, they talk about Satan. Who are you that you are in between somewhere? Where are you backslide? Whether you maintain your work, they will still talk about you. Listen, we live in a world that is so obsessed. Its important to preserve your integrity. And all of that. But let me tell you the truth. Don't allow yourself to become a slave to people's opinion. What does God this sire for my life? And you fire on? I know God has called me to be a man of God. And someone looks at you and says, now for you, you preaches someone And for the first time I slept in church. No problem. Let him mock you. Accept it as a positive challenge. Don't fight everybody. You accept it and move forward, and said, no problem. After all. Peter too, They tried to pray for somebody, and remember what happened, But the time came his shadow. Everybody said, Determination, Can I tell you the truth? Get away from that theology that makes you believe that if God is with you, it is just free lunch all the way. You've heard. It's a popular saying in the Body of Christ, and has been. So for many years. That faith does not just make things easy. The assignment of faith is to make things possible, not easy. Whether it is easy or not, provided it becomes possible, that is the assignment of faith. Everybody said, Determination, Now lay your hands on your head again. Don't be tired this night. Or your praise Father, Are you obtained grace this share factor? Oh God, take it out of my life. Give me the heart of a lion. In the name of Jesus, who said you cannot kild the house, In the name of Jesus, who said you. Cannot move from a tenance to a landlord. In the name of Jesus, who said it is in your destiny to suffer for the rest of your life, who said you cannot rise to the highest peaking in your career, who said you cannot become a man of God with results. Don't let your lack of determination cooperate with hairs. You need determination. Will you fail, yes, sir, how many times as many as your destiny will require, or you are to obtain grace. God is peaking to someone tonight. Shake off that limitation, shake off the excuses. Are you obtend Christ. To be determine? Allelujah, God bless you. Please say them. Go and ask any great man you know today, whether in the secular, whether in ministry, if they are honest enough and they don't want to lie or just flatter you, they will tell you on easy lies the head that wears the crown. Are we together. Many of us are too fearful to do anything significant. You've been in this Abuja. I know we're talking destiny, but let it answer to all of these things. You've been in this Abuja ten years, twenty years, you've not had the courage to go out and even go on. Look we're a plot of land is and you laugh at yourself as no, no, no, no no. Let me tell you if you don't take that step of courage. I'm sorry to say. I don't mean to insult you, but you will die a tenant. Believe me, it takes courage. The signs follow, they don't go before most of you who are waiting for things to work. There are times you have to close your eyes and walk on that water. So what if you fall? Jesus is there. They would take responsibility for your obeying him. Everybody said determination. There are many people who come to me for prayer and most times, and lovingly speaking, I look at disciple and they expect some magic to happen just because a personally spraying. No. Many of you, your dreams have been in notebooks for decades and you have left it there. And to your shock, you will watch somebody leaving it out and you'll be angryt Ah, is this not the thing because it's not only you that saw it. When the spirit of revelation was distributing those things. Is first come first Haal. But I saw this business idea. What did you do about it? Someone saw it and got up and said, listen, I don't have a father, mother, but I have the Lord Jesus, and let's go determination. Let me tell you something. Believe us, and weomen of God must take responsibility for proposing. That kind of message we have taught. A There is a dimension of the teaching of faith and the ministry of the Holy Spirit that needs to be balanced when you are teaching people about achievement. Because of the excellency of the personality. Of the Holy Spirit and. How powerful the law of faith is, we make it look as if the moment you take a step and you are determined, if you. Do fail, it is because God is not with you. Let me tell you this. Even if an angel appears before you and says I have ordained you to be a real estate champion in a book, receive the grace. You can fall down and roll on that you are anointing and get up and your first deal can be because there are many things you don't know. Your first deal can even be scam. And yet you go to God in prayer and God says, I don't even know what you are talking about. All I know is that what I said is still what I've said. Many believers have this superstitious believe that just because you fail people who come and say this business, that you really hear God, and you go. Back in shame and you go back in regret. There is difference between failure as an event and failure as a person. It says, rejoice not over me, my enemies. It is true that Jesus died, but for how many days did he die? Don't talk about that that Jesus when it's already back to life. Imagine that Jesus rose up from the grave and sat there inside the tomb and says, I'm angry because everybody ran away from me. You better come and carry me out of this place. I don't know how many days would have been counting for redemption. As soon as he came back to life, he had no time. The Bible said. He rolled the great clothes, and he had he had what to do. He did see the disciples and say, you, guys, three days I suffered. I was in that tomb below. He had no time for that discussion. Let me tell you this. Determining people don't wait for too long. If they go through something, they can stand lean from it. We are just and fire on. Determining people are those that if one door closes, they first had another door to open. Listen, don't just don't. Just be excited for nothing. This is what it takes to be a champion in the kingdom determination, apostle. Right now, I'm in school. I don't have a father, I don't have a mother. Where my school is? Go just read your book. Start from there. Read your book. If you don't read and. The schoolis comes two weeks to the exam, you will still fail, even though the mirror who has come. Do the part you can do and leave God to do. What you cannot do. God will not do what you can do. I don't have the money to buy the land, But do you know where the land is? That one does not require money. It's God challenging you, Aposse. I'm just waiting. I don't know who will give me money or let me build my church? Who will give you money. Do you need money to first? Do you need money to pray? Do you need money to call upon the name of the Lord? Do you need money to carry fire? Start from there, leave the issue of pills. Starts from there. Solve fire first, the fire problem, then the bill problem will be solved. Number three is God speaking to someone, so that respectfully speaking some of these wrong understanding we have about destiny, that just because you are in Christ, you will just be a bed of roses is why many many believers have failures. We pray in tongues, but we still fail. And let me tell you, when you see somebody in his season of pain and failure, don't be too quick to point hands and laugh at the person and say you didn't hear God. Even if the person did not hear God, he honorably felt in that pain. God would communist messy and visit the person. Number three who is learning tonight? So the first is discovery, The second is determination. The third are you. Ready go for knowledge, get wisdom? You want to actualize destiny? Thank God for discovery, Thank God for the determination. The willingness to press in spite of what you need. Knowledge Destiny is knowledge driven. Destiny is knowledge driven. Oh, this is very important. This is very important. Ecleasies, this chapter ten and verse fifteen, three scriptures, quickly, please give it to us. Ecleasies this chapter ten and verse fifteen. Ready, please read one to read the labor of the foolish, weary at every one of them. Why because he nowhere not to go to the city. Not because there is no path to the city. It is painful to see your destiny and yet not know the requisite level of knowledge. Every result I have taught you in the Kingdom, every path where you need to take, there is a requisite level of knowledge wisdom that it takes for you to actualize it. Now, let me tell you the truth. It is in this area of accessing knowledge that men are separated from boys. Because knowledge is not a gift. You buy the truth, it will cost you. We live in a world where we are obsessed with gifts. Give it to me, make it happen. Why don't you write all the points from my destiny and commands pull feed me with it. Unfortunately does not work like that. Everybody say, by the truth, you must go for knowledge, very very important. Proverbs Chapter twenty four. Please from verse three and four, still on the third point, go for knowledge, get wisdom. The Bible says, true wisdom. Please give us amplified. I love the rendition of amplified of this very scripture Proverbs twenty four, three and four look up, please, it says, through skillful and godly wisdom is. A house, a life, a home, a family built, and by understanding it is established on a sound and a good foundation. Next verse, through knowledge and by knowledge shall its chambers of every area be filled with all pressures and pleasant riches. Somebody say knowledge, say understanding, say wisdom. The the major activity during the preparatory phrase of your destiny will. Be this right there, getting wisdom, getting knowledge. Your speed opens to me, the treasure serve your word, and I will forever sing your praise. Your speed re opens to me. The treasure serve your word, and I will forever sing your prayer. Can I tell you this? The Bible says. In Proverbs chapter eighteen and verse one, it says, to desire, a man haven't separated himself, that he's secret and intermeddleth with all wisdom. You need to go for knowledge. Buy books before shoes, get knowledge before you start, getting the adorning of clothes, It is painful to look great and yet be empty. Unfortunately, unfortunately, we. Live in a world today that does not mine. People can be as empty as a crag, and yet you decorate it. And it looks so full. Irana, look, Iran, look. Carry a physical fashion that makes you under estimate me and then be full and rich within than to look so successful and visionary, and then when you come in you find out that it's an empty goal. Someone shout, God forbid? Can I tell you this? You need to invest in knowledge. You don't invest in knowledge in a hurry. You need to sit down. What does it take? Oh God, you are giving me a global ministry as a man of God, a global prophetic ministry, a global pastoral ministry. Lord have received it. But a global ministry comes with a global burden. I need wisdom, spirituality, leadership, organization, finances. I need to understand this. Are you obtained grace? When others are snorting and slipping away their destiny? You are awake? Lord, Are you obtained grace? Your eyes are sleepy. It looks like two people are sitting on your eyes. You will shake it away and say no way, I'm going far. Are you obtain grace, May the spirit of laziness be far from us. In the name of Jesus made the. Spirit that destiny destroying spirit of laziness may be far from us. There are many people who will tell you they want to be preachers. They don't even read up to one hour per week. I'm telling you sincerely, even if there are no demons, you will still fail because demons are not the only demon's only account for about twenty percent or so. Of real failure. A major part of failure is ignorance or insufficient knowledge. I've taught you here. If you scored thirty five percent, you didn't get zero, and yet you still failed. Is that true? If the court of mark is fifty and you get forty eight, you didn't get zero, but you will still stand at the same place with those who got zero. Take away shame from your life by. Investing in knowledge. It is not good to look dull and be dull. Now, I'm not saying this is mocking you. Knowledge. Say it's an equalizer. You may not come from a privileged family. I agree. You may not have a personal that is very inviting and you know, but let knowledge equalize you is a bailout. System. Take away shame from your. Life and stop all the petty jealousy and sit down, go for knowledge. I don't speak English very well. I agree. I may not be as beautiful or and some as people would want to be. I may not be like that celebrity, but the one God gave you your brain is healthy. Use it. In the name of Jesus. Sit down, buy books. Don't go on line just browsing profitless things. That would not have told you this thing, and have said it with the sincere heart of a shepherd not to pry into your privacy. I am telling you most people the time. If they take half the time they use roaming around social media in a profitless way and invest in constructive knowledge, I assure you, by God, they will not remain at that level. Some of you know what is happening in everybody's life except your own destiny. That should not be. Are weay together. Sayah received grace to go for knowledge? Are possible? What do I learn about You're saying? When you know where you are going, you now find out. Those who are going in that direction, and you begin to study their mindsets and study. The first kind of. Knowledge you need is the awareness of your current state, that itself is a miracle. Do you know that if you are aware that you are in need that knowledge of your inadequacy, it's already a miracle? Are we together? Not knowing that you have a problem is a serious problem itself followed them who to faith and patience? What did they study? God has called you to be a kingdom financier. You can be jumping till rapture happens and you miss out your assignments, and even miss rapture if you're not careful. And yet you you know, we talk is cheap. I'm saying this with with with I hope, I hope I'm not I hope we're still friends. Please sit down, Please sit down, Go back home and sit down. Carry your Bible and look for one book apostle, I'm a ministry. What books should I get? Even if you don't know, at least go to a bookstore. Just roam around here and see, Holy goes. I'm now here. I left my house and the Holy Spirit will take you somewhere. I don't have money, at least such nobody will query you for searching around and somebody will come and say you look like a determined young man, you are looking at that book. It's a nice book. I read it. Pick it up. You get both a relationship and favor because you took a step. Go for knowledge. Till today. I study like I don't know anything, because truly, without flattery, with respect to where God is taking me, there are many things I do not know. And so I sit down and I study. I study. I study. Study to show yourself approved onto God. Is that in your bible? A workman? Please let me tell you this. If you are a man of God, I submit to you with all due respect. Forget about you. Be ready for empty pews if you are not rich in knowledge. The generation the world we live in today is the world of serious people. A man will not carry his wife and children and their destiny. And come and be part of your vision, and sit down every week to listen to nonsense. No people love you, but they love their destinies. No body is ready to waste his time like that to travel from one nation to come. And let me also challenge everyone's career. People, Please, in the name of Jesus, go for knowledge. Go for knowledge. Find out what you don't know about and find out how to learn from it. Don't make the same mistake two times a person who I'm broke. Do you know how to be rich and listen to a message like that? Is it fair that you just carelessly listen to a twenty minute message and actually believe you should be a millionnaire from it, whereas people who have been working even in the civil service for thirty years, are still struggling to stand and you just cheap in. Life like that. No, there are many of us who do not know the real costs of being great. We have downplayed the cost of greatness and reduce it just because of things like favor. Don't forget. By the grace of God. The person talking to. You, I understand favor, wave laziness. Goodbye and force it to wave you back. That you stand in the name of Jesus, some of you from this night God. If I come to your house, don't show me the cast and the houses. Those things are transitory. Let me see what you're doing with your mind. Let me see that you can be in that one room with that trouser that is as cheap as whatever, with people laughing at you. Don't worry. Show me what you are doing and I can tell you where you are going. There are many, many young people in our nation who are not going anywhere. They believe that destiny will just open up because of a gold face. It takes more than that. It takes capacity. Everybody saying knowledge, everybody say wisdom, And can I tell you this in pursuit of destiny. If God, ever, by any means, makes the job easier for you by granting you access to the minds of those who know what they're saying. Please don't trivialize it. Listen, don't sit down with the champion and be tampering the equation. You are not there yet. You don't have the results you see. For some people, it is not the absence of help us or knowledge. It is share pride. Africa, for instance, you find people who have no results. They are broke, they are poor, they are oppressed, they have no anointing, they have no influence. Yet they want to teach you on everything pertaining influence, anointing, prosperity. Let's respect results. Are we together? When I sit in the presence of people who have what I do not have, I don't argue, even if I don't entirely agree. I have to honor the presence of the results that is before me, and listen. Number number four. Are you ready? The fourth key? Spend time praying for your life and your destiny. That is the fourth key. You want to actualize destiny. You must spend time. Invest time. In fact, that's the word. Invest time praying for your life and your destiny. Oh my God, help you believe this thing I'm teaching in the name of Jesus Christ. You must spend time praying for your life. Is good to intercede, I've taught you on intercession. Is good to pray for people. But there are times you have to honestly zome the attention on you and your destiny and invest time generate energy praying for your life and praying for your destiny. Possible. I thought you were praying for me. I will continue to pray for you as a man of God. But even Jesus is praying for you, even for those who are suffering, He's interceding for them to If you don't take responsibility over your destiny and pray till you tear off the gates, listen, especially for those of you. If you come from a background where you know that you are the first to do what you are about to do. You are the one who breaks the iron gate. You better pray, You better pray. Grandfather tried it and died. Grandmother tried it and died. Siblings tried it and died. Now you are the one that iron gate has never been broken. Pray the one who is grandfather or grandmother at least open part of the gates is just for. Him to finish. Opening it that one's life is easier for you. There is a chain on it, and there is a spirit holding the chain. Shats here, Lord, I will not fail in life. Shaprantaka tabakata. Days become weeks, weeks become mons. What are you doing? I am praying? You're just lazy in around. Don't call prayer lazy in around. There is vision and purpose connected to it. Somebody say I will pray one more time, Say I will pray, Matthew. Chapter four place from verse one. This is Jesus preparing to begin his ministry. Jesus was led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. The Bible says next verse when he had what first that forty days and forty nights. You would think that because he was Jesus. He had already listen, look at Jesus. He discovered already his place. He was determined to fulfill it. He had spent time getting knowledge from age twelve he was in the temple, and you would think just because he had acquired knowledge, he was over. The Bible says he prayed and fasted forty days and forty nights, and not even hunger stopped him. I don't know any great man. I may be wrong, I'm learning to, but I don't know any great man, especially in the kingdom and in ministry, who cannot point seasons of his life where he fasted the kind of fast that even the devil would look with shock and saying, ah, this person. You have an ego, and it's easier to fast where. You have not made it yet. That's why it's good. To because all the distructions are less. How much do you have that temptation will come you focus and first Yes, sir, whether you firsted or not, you were not even going to eat very well after all, So you use the opportunity Shaperkaskiata, you are praying, giving yourself an excuse. Away. Together Mark chapter one. Please mark chapter one from verse thirty five, Mark Chapter one thirty five. This was Jesus after a busy day he had started ministry, so we see him praying even before ministry would start. Now, ministry started already, and he was doing so well. Morning till night, busy. Schedules, and the Bible says, in the morning, rising up a great while everybody is a discipline. He went out and departed into a solitary. Place, and there prayed. Their prayed. You must pray. There are forces that would try to fight you from starting. If they cannot succeed, they will be waiting for you at the gate of honor so that they will bring you shame. Don't you think because you started, the devil will fold his arms. The Bible said he left Jesus for a season. Every great man here listen. Let me tell you. If you think because you are great and everything is working, everything is fine, think again, go and ask. There is a skill that maintains greatness. One of it is the consistent fortification of yourself with prayer. People are praying for you, or you must pray for yourself, because when Satan sees that you are high up there, he will begin to skim things to make sure, because he knows that in your coming down is the coming down of many. So instead of attacking two million people, he will attack you. There are battles that you have no business fighting, but when you become great is a battle that must involve you. Please obtain grace to pray. Everybody say I will pray, apostle, thank God. May I'm not a ministry, I'm just in business. Pray more. The king of tire is sitting where you are there, that is his headquarters. Have you heard about tire and said don tire and sidon? You must pray. The devil will not commit millions and billions to your hands when he knows that your heart is already inclined. To the kingdom. Now go and ask people who practice occultism before they become wealthy. They come under all kinds of oats, oats with blood incisions, to say, listen, these are the doors and dunts as fast using this money's concern. There are wealthy people today who cannot give you more than ten thousand. They are not greedy. It is based on the oaths that brought that wealth to the point that even your physical parents or siblings can be in the hospital dead bad. But they are not allowed to bring that money. You think they are greedy. It is the condition that was given to them. That's why the Bible says, the blessing of the Lord make it rich and adds no sorrow. Are we together spend time praying? First Thessalonians chapter three, second Thessalonian chapter three, from verse one and two. Second Thessalonians chapter three from verse one and two. Finally, brethren, pray for us that the world of the Lord may have free cause and be glorified, even as it is with you verse two. And that we be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men. For all men have not faith. Do not assume that just because everybody is laughing at all, laughing with you, they mean you. Well, this is a world that is full of wickedness. The Bible says, this world is a habitation of cruelty. Are we together? Why must this family be rising? Why must this man of God be rising? Why must this sister be rising? Why must this politician be rising? Why must this carrier person be rising? Look at Jesus innocently bringing glory to the Father. And a few people came together and said, look, we have to do something about this man. He's stealing our show. Ah. Good prayer is powerful. You can get into that control room and begin to make things. It has thou commanded time morning. Please obtain grace to pray for your destiny in the name of Jesus. Invest time praying, Invest time praying, invest time praying. Don't pray out of fear. Pray as not just as a principle of survival. But your prayer will give room for you to keep making progress. Number five Are you ready? It's God helping us tonight. Let's hurry up. Number five. Embrace a life of competence and excellence. Point number five. You want to actualize destiny, you must embrace a life of competence and excellence. Three scriptures very quickly Proverms twenty two twenty nine popular scripture. Embrace a life of competence and excellence. It says, see us now. A man diligent in his business leaves you with an assurance. He shall stand before kings. He shall not. Stand before average, ordinary or mean men. You want to rise beyond the average in life and destiny for the sake of the kingdom, you must be diligent. A diligent preacher will be a great preacher. A diligent businessman will be a great business man. A diligent politician will be a great politician. Everybody say, competence. What is competence? Mastery? Which was finished a series on striving for mastery. Listen to it again. You must become a master at something or the wise shame and reproach will always be within the corridor of your destiny. Make up your mind that you are not given the assignment of being and knowing everything, but as far as the things that pertain to the area of your call and destiny's concern, please hold it with mastery, and take away shame from your life. Genesis chapter forty one would. Jump the verses because of time, gave us verse fourteen, and then would jump to twenty nine, down to thirty three, and then thirty seven. We're jumping. We're examining the life of Joseph. Ready fourteen. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon, and he shaved himself and changed his raiment and came on too. Pharaoh to twenty nine, now twenty nine to thirty three. Behold, there comes seven years of plenty. He's interpreting the king's dream. Now throughout all the land of Egypt, we're reading to thirty three. Uh huh, next verse. And there shall arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt. And the famine shall consume the land thirty won and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following, for it shall be very grievous. Two more verses. And for that the dream was doubled onto Pharaoh twice. It is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass the last verse, and then we jump to thirty seven. Now, therefore, look at him bringing a solution. Now, let Pharaoh look out for a man discreet and wise, and set him over. The land of Egypt. Thirty seven. And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. Next verse, And Pharaoh said on to his servants, can we find such a one as this. Is, a man in whom the spirit of God is next. Verse, And Pharaoh said on to Joseph, For as much as God has shown thee all this there is none so discrete and wise as thou. May that be your testimony in the name of Jesus Christ, that we will search and such and honestly come to the conclusion that you are truly exceptional. That we will say your kind is rare in the name of Jesus Christ. Next verse, Please and Pharaoh, okay, that shall be over my house, and according onto my word, shall all my people be rude? Look at instant honor that came because of competence and excellence. It says only in the throne will I be greater than thou. Next verse we're reading to forty six. And Pharaoh said onto Joseph c I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring. From his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand, And I raid him invests of fire lenen, and put a gold chain about his neck. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and they cried before him bow the knee, and made him ruler over all the. Land of Egypt. Three more verses, and Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without this shall no man lift up his hand of foot in all the land of Egypt. Look at this, And Pharaoh called Joseph's name zav Nathpania, and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Portipharah, the priest of own. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. Last verse. And Joseph was how old? Wow? And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before the king of Egypt. When they put the ring. When Joseph began to do exploit at a national level, he was thirty years old. That means there is no excuse. And for those of you who are saying now thirty years okay, that's all. What of Joash who was king at age eight, Josiah king at age nine, They were all kings as small as they were. A child is not just a child in age. A child is a child in knowledge. Are we together now? Yes? You must embrace a life of competence and excellence. Tumre number six, am I right on that number six. Be disciplined and focused. This is a big one. I can spend the entire night dealing with this issue of discipline and focus. There is no glorious destiny for any man and any woman that will compromise on the power of discipline and focus Isaiah Chapter fifty. Please Isaiah chapter fifty and verse seven. Let's hurry up Media fifty and verse seven Isaiah, for the Lord will help me. Therefore I shall not be confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. Second Timothy, Chapter two and verse four. Second Timothy, Chapter two and verse four. It says no man that warreth and tangled himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. He's given an impression that if you make up your mind that you are a soldier, then you have to adopt the discipline of a military man. Hebrews, chapter twelfth and verse one. Hebrews twelfth and verse one. Wherefore, seeing also that we are compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside, say, layer side every weight and the sin that dot easily beset us, and to run with patience the race that is set before us. There are two things, it says, to layer side sin and wait. You can lay a side seen and not layer side wait wait is anything that is unnecessary as far as the journey is concerned. There are many good things in your life you must be able to cut away from. You don't have to cut away from evil things alone. There are many good things that are not profitable for your destiny. Are we together? Yes, sir. There are many good things you are going to have to say no to for the sake of where you are going. Many good things that you have to say no to. Number seven, And that. Will lead me into a very importance of topic. And then we'll pray. Are you ready? The seventh point? If you want to actualize destiny, you must develop endurance. You must develop endurance. I will define for you what endurance is. You must develop endurance. Are you ready? I define endurance as the ability to stand and survive pain and pressure while maintaining focus. Endurance the ability to stand and survive pain and pressure while maintaining focus. Endurance the ability to stand and survive pain and pressure while maintaining focus. This one key here, dear people of God. If you have six over seven and this is the key, you failed, you will still a boat destiny. Strangely. Endurance James Chapter one, James Chapter one from verse two and three. James, Chapter one. From verse two and three, My brethren, it says, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations, knowing this verse three, that the trying of your faith work at patience. In fact, let's read verse four. It says, but let patience have happened perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing. Everybody say endurance. There are two reasons I have seen why people, generally, in spite of the fact that they work in keeping with these other keys, while they are unable to really maximize destiny and become all that God has ordained them to be. Number one is excuses. They will always give excuses. And you see, to one who is determined to find a reason not to rise, you will always find one excuses. And then number two, the second reason is violating the law of process. I want to end my teaching tonight by teaching us something about the law of process. Please open up your heart and open your spirit, because for some of you this will be an answer right now to your prayer. Are you ready to pray one more time? Lord, open my eyes yet again, Open my eyes for the sake of my destiny. For the sake of all those who are looking up to me. Make sure you are praying, those. Following online as Zaria family, and those connecting across the globe. Make sure your heart is opened. Pray. Let it be from the depth of your heart. Open my eyes, Allelujah. Write this down as a subtopic, the law of process. I need to teach you this very quickly. Mac chapter four. Please mark chapter four. Many great people from verse twenty six have a bought destiny because they do not understand this mystery of the kingdom called process. And he said, so is the Kingdom of God. As if a man should casceed into the ground next verse next verse media, let's walk together and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up. He knowwhere not how twenty eight Now for the earth bringet fruit of ourself. But how does it happen? First the blade is it in your bible? Then the air, after that the full corn in the air. We're reading to thirty two. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he put it in the sickle, because the harvest is come thirty And he said, where onto shall we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what comparison, shall we compete. It is like the grain of must, that's which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth last verse. But when it is sown, it growed up and become greater than all the herbs, and shooted out great branches, so that the fouls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. I had the privilege of learning this trip law of destiny very early in life. The law of process. Write this down, Please everyone, you must be tested and proven. In order to be honored by God. You must be tested and proven in order to be honored by God. Deuteronome chapter eight were looking at scriptures from verse eleven. You must be tested and proven in order to be honored by God. There is no body who will taste of genuine kingdom honor as far as testiny and the kingdom is concerned, until and unless you are tested and you are proven. We begin a reading from verse eleven. Beware that thou forget'st not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments and his judgments and his statutes, which I command you this day less, when down as eaten and at fool and are built goodly houses and dwelt therein. And when thy herds and flogs multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied four team, then thy heart shall be lifted up. This is why God needs to test and prove people. Is a tendency in the heart of all men without exception. And forget the Lord, thy God, which brought thee fourth out of the land of Egypt from the house of Bondage fifteen, Who led THEE through that great and terrible wilderness wherein were fiery serpents, scorpions, drought where. There was no water. Who brought thee fourth water out of the rock. Of flint sixteen it says, who fed the Let's read sixteen together. Ready one to read? Who fed thee in the wilderness with manner which thy fathers knew not, Why that he might humble THEE, and that he might prove THEE to what end, to do THEE good at thy latter end. Let me tell you sincerely, God tests people. God proves people. Even men prove peace before they lift them. There is no responsible man, there is no responsible leader, There is no responsible father who will not test and prove people to ascertain their capacity and their capabilities before lifting them and even their tendencies. You must be tested and some sixty six, verse twelve. Some sixty six and verse twelve, Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but thou broughtest us into a wealthy place. But before we got there, you cause men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and we went through water. Which one is better? Fire or water? Are we together? It's like saying which one is better to die by shooting or to die by an arrow? All of them will cost something to your body, and you will see die. You cause men to ride over our heads. We went through water and through fire, but the same you brought us into a wealthy place. Process is very powerful. There will always be seasoned in a man's life where God will be proving you to prove every tendency that can destroy and abort your glorious future. And let me tell you the truth that is about the hardest face in the life of a believer, because at those points I thought you this already. That is when you experience what we call the sigh lens of God. You will live in the silence of God once and again. And if you do not understand that you are being proven, you will waste that season and you will find out that the destiny that was prophesied over you. Would never even come to pass. Number two, The second thing you have to know about process is that it takes time for true success and your destiny to manifest. No matter how you horrid destiny, it takes time for true success, and it takes time for destiny to manifest Hebrews, Chapter six and verse fifteen. I want us to read it in concert. When we see it displayed, everyone ready, please look up, want to read. And so after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise that he been Abraham. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. What does process do in your life? I want to give you about four or so reasons and then will end it and pray for tonight about four or five reasons. Are you ready? Number one? Why do I have to go through process with God? Number One? Process tests your loyalty and your commitment to fulfilling your destiny. Process will test your loyalty and your commitment, not just to God your loyalty and your commitment to fulfilling your destiny? Are you that determined to make it? Process will test and even prone your loyal and your commitment to fulfilling your destiny. Look chapter nine, please and verse sixty two. Look nine sixty two, and Jesus said, unto him, no man, haven't put his hand to the plow and look him back his feet for the Kingdom of God. Process, no matter what it takes. That in the name of Jesus Christ, I have set my face on like a flint, and I will push through. It may be gradual, but I must become that kingdom financier. It may be gradual, but I must become that man of God. Number two, What does process achieve in your life? Process builds patience. Process builds patience James, Chapter one, two and three. We read that already, please just write it down for sake of time. There are many people who it takes the discipline of process to bring them to a point where they can become patient in life. We live in a generation of impatience. Fast. Everything we want it immediately shap, shap. And while it is true that God is a god of speed, there is a difference between speed and rush. God gives people speed after he has made them and builds them, but God does not rush people. Are we together? As that chapter forty three and verse one and two very popular scripture. It says, fear not, I have redeemed you. I have called you by name, thou at mindo. I love Verse two so much. It says, when thou passest through water, I will be with you. When thou passes through the river, it shall not overflow you. But when it gets to fire, it didn't say where you pass, where you run? It says where you Why do I need to walk through fire? Ah? My God, it is enough that I'm there. I thought I would rush out, because that fire has an assignment to roast many. Things a way out of your life. There are things water cannot remove. There are things even the strength of the river cannot remove. It will take fire. And let me tell you, when you are walking through that fire, not even your tears will accelerate the pace You will walk slowly. It will burn pride, It will burn every kind of thing. You will get to a point where when you get out of that fire, you will be as light as a feather, ready to fly some of you. You are in that fire right now. It is not always a demonic attack. The anoyting of the Holy Spirit was designed to fight Satan, not God. So sometimes when you are praying and asking the anointing to fight and it's not fighting certain things, it may be because it is not Satan. The anointing does not fight God. Process process. You walk through. Fire three members, six months, two years, three members, You. Are angry, you are offended. You are saying even the people are raised now they have mega churches, and God says, stay, I know what I'm doing. When you walk through fire. Let me speak to someone here. You may be in a season where you are fulfilling the law of process. Don't abbord destiny, obtain the grace to stay. There is something that fire is doing, and when it is done, there is nobody who is a normal human being who will carry a meat. Even if you go to the bush and you kill. Meat, nobody will come to a restaurant just to sit down and start eating. Wrong me, you just share a row cow and people are just eating. No, it will pass through fire. When you get to the kitchen in any restaurant it is hot. There is no kitchen that is cold, because that is where food is prepared. Did you hear me? There is no kitchen in any restaurant that is cold. The signature of any kitchen. Even if you are blind, you know you are in the kitchen because of fire. Several things on fire. And while it is on fire, the chef is laughing, and those who need to eat, they're waiting impatiently, and they. Do not know that it is fire that is responsible for their satisfaction. Fire. They place that meat there, they turn it, they turn it back again. They add something and turn it again. And while that is happening, something else is in the pot, cooking and boiling. And the man is laughing, starts to change shap or does change color, or does change texture. Many things happen on the fire. Can I tell you? Nobody goes through fire and comes out the way you enter. No. For some of you, the fire will change your ship. For some of you, the fire will change your color spiritually. For some of you, the fire will change your appetite. My encouragement is, let the fire do its walk, Let the fire do its work. Let the fire do its work. It may be painful. The fire may come as a temporal lack of finances. Let the fire do its walk. The fire may be having several certificates, and yet it does not seem to bring you anything. I'm telling you sometimes it's not the devil. Let the fire do its work. There is good waiting for you at the end. Is someone learning Number three. So number one, to test your loyalty and commitment to fulfilling your vision. Number two, Fire builds patients. Number three. You know what fire does? I mean you know what process does. Process helps you to appreciate the success of other people. It appreciates. It helps you to honor and appreciate successful people. When you do not pass through fire and you don't have process, you may not be able to appreciate the sacrifices and the results of others. God allows us to pass through these seasons of process so that you would not downplay results when you see it. Can I tell you this? We live in a world where it is very easy to talk when you are not the one in the football you play. You sit down outside in the stadium of life and you are watching. People playing, and the person misses the ball, and the person is tired and Britain and you're watching and saying, this guy would have just dribbled. Now what is just dribbled that you would have just passed? And you do not know that your own match is waiting. Sooner or later God puts you and in ten minutes you are tired, he says, no, it's nineteen minutes. Keep going away together. It is easy to command when you are standing outside and you are not the one actively involved. So a process helps us so. That we can appreciate what successful. People went through, whether in ministry. Listen, as I grow in ministry and as I grow in leadership, I'm cultivating a renewed regard and respect. I've always known this, but I'm knowing it even pragmatically. You know why many times when you are teaching in conferences, it's past us you see crying in front and sometimes rolling on the ground, because most of them are in the middle of those things. They were commentation talks before they started ministry. After ten years, they came to the realization that you really need to know some things. How about many young people. It's easy to see our parents and those who have gone ahead of us, and to mark their scripts and write all kinds of things and say this my father. I don't know where he was when all his colleagues were making it. Now you become a father, and you are surprised. You have peepy because of his school fees of fifty thousand, and yet your father trained eight of you. We admit only on Sunday they're about to throw you out of your house. You are your wife. At least your father was able to provide that. Let me tell you this, do not commit to people who do not go through the law of process. They will not have an appreciation and a regard for others, especially for the great away together. This is very very powerful, a very deep and powerful mystery. Second Corinthians, eleven twenty seven. Second Corinthians, eleven twenty seven. This is Paul. In fact, if we had time, we would have read the entire span. But he was saying something here. When you begin to read from verse twenty down to twenty nine thereabout he said, in weariness, in painfulness, in watchings, often, in hunger and test in fasting, in cold and nakedness, he was saying, don't you think I just became an appossible by lock? This were some of the things I went through. You see, when you see great people. Because of the way the palace would decorate you and perfume you, you would not smell like the prison again. But make no. Mistake, it was from the prison you got. There are we together now. Yes, most people who criticize and most people who are involved in talking about people, it is because they do not have track record of greatness. Let me tell you the truth. When you go through the law of process, you will appreciate great people with profound respect. Wow. This man had to go through this to become a pilot. This man had to go through this to become a chartered accountant. This man had to go through this. There are people who will not be able to pass on hundred members effectively. The trouble of hundred members would depress them till they almost plunge into depression. And yet you see a man leading a ministry of thousands of peoples. In all these people, they are just lucky. No, Sometimes God helps critics by giving them opportunities. The way God helps critics is by giving them what you are criticizing. God will give you as a gift or your take, and then you will see it as a breakthrough and by yourself. There are many people who can cretic science? Am I not also annointed? Say for instance, and God says, okay, let me give you open doors and you will preach for three months non stop. At the end of it, you will sit down and you will search we topic. Have I not preached leadership? I said it the other day. Oh, I preached that day on Abraham. I've preached about him. And then you will now know the man who does three services or five services, or preaches about eight salmons every day and he has done it for three or four decades without fail. You now know that these people have something to say. I way together. My uncle is such a greedy man. Doesn't give anybody money, no problem. God helps you by giving you your first five million. And as soon as that five million comes, somebody will say, please, we need this surgery. Is just three million we need? Or why somebody would die? And I saw you in a vision and God said I should come and seek help. That's when you know that. So it's not easy like that in the vision I saw someone giving you five million? Is that truth? Sir? You don't know whether you should lie or tell the truth. Now you know what it feels when you tell people just give me money anytime, and they keep giving you. Let me tell you the truth until you are there. Just keep quiet. Let me repeat myself until you are there wearing the shoes. Just keep quiet. It's God's begin to us. What number now? Number four? Why does God pass us through processes? Are you ready to create memories and expe in our lives that will help us sustain the success that is before us? To create memories and experiences that will help us sustain the success that is before us. It is very powerful. Why do we go through processes? Why do you have to subscribe to the law process? Because there is something that you go through in those seasons. Of pain that will help you to be able to manage greatness. Can I tell you ask anybody who has tasted of genuine greatness? There is askily takes many years ago, I had a dream and in that dream a man of God in this nation. He was standing on stage and I was invited to come and preach. I considered myself from that dream that, ah, how could I be giving this great platform? And then when I came in the dream, I found out that you were not standing on the ground like this. It's like you have to climb the puppet and stand and it was so slippery. When I stood there, I had to hold it and say, is this I'm just trying to gain my footing, and yet the man was standing there very easily. I woke up from that dream and I said, Wow, there is a skill to standing here. It's more than just facing the pulpit. There are those who didn't stand well. They didn't even stand up to two years. If you see people standing here, all you see is not all there is. So let me tell you this, there are many people today, respectfully speaking, not to downplay your pedigree. By the time you see ten million, one hundred million, one billion, you will run in a way that God must ask you what he asks Adam, where are you? I can't find you again? I can't find you again. It's not only your pastor that cannot find you. Where are you? Your wife can't find you, your children can't find you. Even your destiny cannot find you. Where are you? So hold on? If God knows that that is the weight of honor he's bringing, he will subject you through a season that no match the level of lifting. The memory of what you went through. Do you think Joseph will. Waste his opportunity like that, I've taught you here after many years of being in the prison. No, he would maximize destiny. Most people waste greatness because they really did not pay any serious price for it, especially for those who inherited it. There is a difference between, respectfully. Speaking, someone who just. Inherited wealth and blessings just like that, and somebody who started from minos one before you go to zero, before you now started climbing. They are discipline a lot more discipline. Mismanagement many times is because we do not have a history and a track record of process. Are we together? Yes? When pride wants to take over your life, the Holy Spirit can easily pick one story from your life and remind you remember where I brought you from, and quickly you call yourself to order. Wark betides a great man who does not have a history of experiences where the Holy Spirit can pull from to put your life in order, you will. Not go far. Are we together? Finally? The final reason why we go through process is so that through the pain. And through the process, we can gain experience to be able to raise orders. Why does God introduce process to our lives so. That through the pain and through the process that we go through, we will gain experience that will empower us to raise others. Second Corinthians eleven. Okay, we're already to that. Let's do Second Corinthians one four. Second Corinthians one four, look at me please. It says, who comforted us in all our tribulations? Is that in your Bible? That we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort wherein we ourselves are comforted of God. When you go through a process that there you see somebody going through it, you can draw from your experience. And say, I've been there, Man of God. Don't worry. Of course, I give so much to my members. I love them with all my hant and they don't appreciate me. And then the man can say, let me tell. You a story. In nineteen sixty one or nineteen seventy one, I remember having preached, they beat me and drove me out of one village. And you are listening and learning, and you are drawing strength from it. Can I tell you you are not a true mentor if you don't have stories, what becomes the basis of your teaching? It is not only principles, they said, the secret of great men is hidden in their stories. So God is giving you stories today. Sometimes I share the bits of my experiences that I share, and I almost relieve them as I'm sharing them and nodding my head, I'm saying, how time flies. Who would have known that those seasons were only preparing me for these days? And who knows the days now? All the seasons that I mean now? Only God knows what is preparing me for. Can I tell you the truth? You must learn to love when the law of processes at work in your life. Rejoice even when you do not understand God, because you are drawing a story. How else will you be able to help people, help young people to prosper if you yourself have not tasted of poverty and all of that. Now you can tell them, I know what it means to be ten years without a job. I know what it means. Let me tell you this, What looks like the basis for shame in your life today will become. What the nations will come to honor you for. There are times in your life where a call will be made over your destiny. But the requirement to climb that table of greatness is who has a sky in his hand. Anybody who does not have a scar that will tell you sorry, you are not allowed. So you may be going through things today. The scar that God is allowing you to have has monetary value, it has honor value. Go through it with Chris as a man of God. Tomorrow if you are able to teach people and God honors you and gives you a global ministry. When a young man comes and says, sir, I'm in debt, I'm not able to do ministry, well you smile because it's not only memory. Versus you have. You have memories. You can draw from it and say I know what to tell you. Believe me, I know what to tell you. And then you begin to give the person stories. Today, people who come and they meet me and they say, ah, Apostle, I am owing my life. I tell them, relaxed. Please, Have you eating? No, you don't know that. Have you eating? This man talking to you as I know what it means to. Be under financial pressure, so that we can comfort others with the same comfort. Do not waste your pain. There is a crown that your pain today will put on your head. My question for you as we wrap up tonight's teaching is can God count on you? Are you going to join the many who have disappointed God and disappointed destiny? Or are you going to make up your mind whatever you want to do. Lord, you can doo me whatever you want to say. Lord you can say to me whoever you want to live. Lord you can live to wherever you want to go. Lord you can go. Ha me on palmis for a a mom. Doesn't whatever you want to start, Lord you can stop. Me whatever you want to. And Lord you can end for Ramie more you. Have yours. I made a vow and I made a covenant with my destiny that I will not fail God, and I would not fail my generation. But talk is cheap. These are the principles that you must be willing to go. If you cannot live with these principles, my dear brother, my dear sister, let me assure you that destiny will only remain prophecy, an empty talk from the lips of a non compliance believer. There are two prayer points. Who are going to pray right now? Many of us are stepping into defining moments in our lives. God has pointed all these areas. There has to be a prayer point. You've already generated from this teaching without me having to prompt you. For some of you, it is the understanding that there is destiny within me. Some of you is the understanding that just folding my arms and crossing my legs will not actualize destiny. Some of you, you've learned tonight that destiny can be abort head. Yes, sir, it can. Some of you need discovery, some of you need development. Some of you need to go for knowledge. Some of you need to invest in prayer, very very important. Some of you need to go for competence and excellence. Are we together? Some of you need to be disciplined and focused, and some of you need to stand. Have done all to stand. To understand that process is not anything strange. Process is not necessarily an attack. No, no matter how well a mother feeds her baby, the baby will not become an adult by the next day. It will still be called a healthy baby. And if an elderly man stabs himself to death, he will not say he will not be a baby. An elderly man who became a baby, he would be a malnourished elderly man. There are some things that only time does. If a woman takes in even if she's praying tongues every day, the time allotted for pregnancy is nyemons. She will have to wait in hope. Every day. She can pray for supernatural bet and safety while she's carrying the baby, but that nine months it must happen. No matter how gifted your child is. In Nigeria and most parts of the world, once he is not eighteen years according to the law of the land, if it's court driving around, they would take him to court, even if it's as tall as an iroco tree, if it's thirteen years his height. Notwithstanding, he will wait. Let me tell you the truth. There are some things that will only happen with time and in time, Man of God, no matter how you pray on first, take it easy. The anointing will come gradually. Don't expect to get Benny Hines anointing overnight. Don't expect the grace and the impact and the result that is upon our fathers to land on you. But they lay hands on me. I can tell you what came on you. The whole thing came on you, But the administration of it is part time. And by your knowledge, God is in foolish. God will not carry the Lord that a camel carries and put it on a tortis or put it on a dog. It will kill you. He says, do not cast his pell before swine. So for some of you, be careful what you are praying for. Transfer that prayer into your future, and be grateful for what God is doing. Now, Lord, I'm praying if I do not make ten billion or fifteen billion by the end of twenty twenty two, except God is not faithful, let me help you. You are not wrong, you are not a sinner. He's just the wisdom you need. Because the way God walks, He does not jump you from being a broke passing to have fifty billion. You cannot have fifty billion without being friends with government and certain people. There is a network that will have to maintain that level of cash flow. There are many things we do not know. We just claim things blindly, and preachers is good to pray for people, but we must teach them wisdom, so we stop mocking ourselves in church and making it fool of ourselves. God gives speed, God makes great, but there is a process. Final Scripture, look to fifty two. Give it to us in amplified if we can or nivy any of the versions. And Jesus increased. One version will say grew this statement. For many years this stopped me. Why should Jesus grow? Jesus grow, What are you growing into? Again? The word the logo is not. Part of it, the fullness of the expression of the Godhead. But when he became a man, he was never born an adult. There was only one adult who came and cost tramull immediately. And God said no. From that time, everybody must go through process. Can I tell you run away from people with instant results without process? Before you celebrate people and draw your achievements and ruin your space and your destiny. Find out whether there is a track record. If you don't find blood there, if you don't find tears there, if you don't find faith there, if there is no equation in their life where they have to trust God and agree. With God, you're sitting on a time bomb. It's God helping us quit the pressure of trying to belong to associations and groups, be patient and grow. If God has given you the leverage of great parents or a good ministry, good mentorship, take it as a leverage. But it will not replace this price that you must pay. Is someone ready to pray just to pray a point tonight? One cry for grace, Lord, Grace to not disappoint you, and grace to not disappoint my generation. Go ahead and pray, May my life not be a blessing and a warning. May it be an inspiration. Someone is praying, may my life not be a lessing and a warning. Let it be an inspiration. Someone is praying that. When they talk about those making impact for the kingdom, in ministry, in business, forget about the naysayers. Focus on your destiny. Everyone on head needs help, including arrogant people. Everyone on head needs help, including those who act like they do not. So don't mind anybody who looks down on you. Open up your heart, Ellie and say God help me. Ataparakaposia, someone is praying for everyone that asked. Receive it. Lord, I will not disappoint you and I will not disappoint my generation. I obtain grace, I obtain grace. I obtain grace, I obtain grace. Someone pray, chrace to find my place in life, Grace to be determined, chrace to go for knowledge, Chrace to invest in prayer as a lifestyle. Grace to be disciplined and to be focused. Grace to be competent and excellent, chrace to endar Let the fire walk me God to become that vessel of honor. Let the fire prone everything. I will pass through the law process with honor. Go ahead and pray I obtaind prace to pass through. The seasonal process. You are blessing me. I thank you for what you have done in my life in the name of Jesus. Look or please, let me tell you one of the major principles I learned from our Father's of faith that has helped my life in a mighty way today. A life of consistent gratitude. For many of you, if you take your eyes away from all this life of complaining and grumbling. As a man of God, God gave me one thousand members. Oh God, if you live in that rem you will fail. Some of you. You may not have one million, the two. Hundred thousand narraw you have in your account, the ten million, the hundred million, you have one billion. You are saying, God, what is a hundred billion? You cannot give me. Father, that you were able to trust me with one billion. I am grateful. This is what many generations may not even get I am grateful. When we were growing up, we used to sing a song some have food but cannot eat. Some can eat but have no food. We have food and we can eat glory, good values. Now our children just say plus plus Jesus might not saytan very discipline way of saying thank you over a meal. When last did you take your eyes away from what God has not done to look at the many things he has done? Is someone learning? Now make up your mind that this year would not be a year of complaining and grumbling on healthy comparison. Lord, thank God for the rapper you gave me. But it's this erson, not a human being too. Why are you giving a rapper of two million and you gave me a raper of two hundred? And God says you will remain there because you think I'm stupid for trusting you. Everything multiplies when you become thankful and thoughtful. God, God sees my heart, and I will tell you sincerely, I have never, never ever wished to say, Oh God, please, I'm not grateful, Just make me like this. I don't do that. Lord, I am grateful right from the time this ministry was in his infancy. If I come for con Onia today, sincerely, and I see only ten or twenty people. From a leadership standpoint, I will be concerned. And responsible and find out why. But intrinsically from my heart, I would stand before the God of Heaven and said, the privilege you gave me to teach somebody, don't downplay the fact that somebody will leave his house and come to listen to you. I've taught you not everybody thinks you are a big deal. A man of God called me one time some years ago and said he went somewhere and the honorarium they gave him was so insulting. I just kept quiet, and I just counseled him. I said, sir, well, I respect your philosophies, but I have never preached because of money. I net when I started ministry, I didn't even. Know that a man of God goes to preach and the package an envelope and give him. I never knew that. Sometimes it's when I'm done and I'm climbing the bike going they would tear to a and roll money just looking like Indian hem and just squeeze it and give me, and I receive it with joy. It's still I get home that I even know what it is that that they gave me. But right now we have many people you preach. You go to a ministry where you see that the journey is often and only you're not. You're struggling and I'm not yet to cause any trouble in the body of Christ. We must be careful if you don't know how to kneel down and say thank you, thank you. God. You gave me tea. I'm tired. Where is bread? God? Because you will have the mouth to drink the tea the murmured in the wilderness. Is it in your bible? He says, do everything without comp leaning or argument. In the next one minute. I know that our time is off, but I want to I don't know how you will say it, but I want you to look at this God who has been merciful from January till. Now June. This is part of the journey to you. I don't know how you are going to do it. You don't have to kneel on, stand up, whatever, but let it be from your heart. Tell him, thank you, thank you Father. I've not gotten the job yet, but I didn't lack food this year. I had healthier and happier than even people who had jobs. Someone said, thank you. I roamed around people with communicable. Diseases, and Lord, you have kept me and protected me. The same thing someone did and died. I did the same thing, and I'm still standing. I like you to pray. Someone invested his money somewhere, did not get returns and plunge your depression and die. You invested your money there, and yet you are still standing. You have the cottage even stand say thank you. Take your eyes away from what God has not done. Just one minute. If someone pray, I praise you. I praise you. Oh, I praise you. I praise you in my life. Eye low, I see what you're doing. One more time, law, I leave my hands sympris of your old I leave my hands, sympress, one last time from the. Depth of your heart. I praise you. I praisi, I prasie, I prasive. In my. I see I see what you're doing, wan. Mine in of yourney. Jesus, thank you for your hand in this ministry. Thank you for the miracles. Oh, how can we complain you have been faithful. Thank You for every life and every family represented here. Thank You for everything that has happened in and around our lives from January till now, whether we've understood it or not, we say thank you, because indeed you are faithful. Thank you for life, thank you for health, thank you for favor, thank you for salvation, thank you for wisdom, thank you for messy, thank. You for deliverance. Lord. We vow tonight that we will live thankful lives as we. Trust you to walk us through the various phases of our destinies. We give you praise. We give you praise, We give you praise. Lord. We declare, as a people and as individuals, that we will not abort destiny in the name of Jesus Christ, that which has been a marked for us. As far as destiny is concerned, and as far as your kingdom come agenda. Is concerned, Lord, we will leave it to its fullest. I pray for everyone tonight, Old God, following from Zaria, here in Abuja and across the nations of the Earth, in the name of Jesus the grace to fulfill your destiny. Receive it right now in the name of Jesus Christ. And for some of you who have heared of the path of destiny. The Lord, God of Heaven is showing you messy tonight in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen. There are people here tonight who haven't heard the things. Please keep standing. Let's just stand for a minute or two, and let's minimize movement. Please, there are people here. Whilst you heard me teach and preach, the Holy Gooes began to speak to you that this service was for you. He's brought you here tonight to give you an opportunity to start afresh. For some of you, and then for some of you, you've never even made that decision. For Jesus, Listen. Coming to Jesus is not a religious thing. This is not just about a man of God making an altar call and you're responding to it. It is the Lord Jesus himself calling you to give you an experience. You can choose to reject Jesus. It is still within your power. Remember I told you that our destinies are prettydetermined by God but actualized through the decisions and the choices. Every one of us here who is saved, had to make this decision consciously, and tonight God is giving you a chance. We have just a few minutes, a minute or two for you. You are here and you are saying, Apostle, I truly, sincerely want to make it right with Jesus, or you are saying, Apostle, I remember giving my heart to the Lord. But honestly as it is now, would you give me the chance to make it right with him? There is always room at the cross for you. I would count one to fight because of our time. And may I request that you quickly run if you can, walk fast if you can, and make your way to the frontier. And for those of you who are scattered across the overflows, you may do well to walk to the front of your screens, following from the nations of the earth, whether in your room you're off, is following by way of television. Now is your chance to make Jesus a lot of your life. The Bible says, as many who will come to him, he will not cast away. Come one and were celebrating them, Coinonia, leave your seat and come to Jesus. Don't be ashamed. Don't be afraid, Apostle, I desire to come, but I'm ashamed. I'm afraid. Come come to Jesus is willing to give you a new beginning. Young old from far and near, male female, there is enough room at the cross. Come to Jesus. Three, I count five, and then we begin to pray. Perhaps someone is still thinking, Apostle, I do not consider myself to be a bad person, only that I cannot remember making this decision. Join them, Join them. There is such a thing as the assurance of salvation. After everything I've done with my life, can God still. Take me back? Absolutely? You're welcome. Allelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. I appreciate every one of you. Please come stand very quickly, and the Bible says as many who will come to Him, you will in no wise cast away. Listen as you're standing here, I want you to truly believe that you are standing before Jesus, the Son of the Living God, and that. He's able to give you a new beginning. Praise the name of the Lord. I'm going to lead you to pray this prayer, and may I request that you prayed from the depth of your heart. It's more than a poem you are reciting. This is a declaration of your dependence and your need for Jesus. Please lift your right hand high above your head if you can, and if you are following from across the world. You can do same. Say after me, everyone, Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I believe that you died for me. Believe that you rose again for my justification. Right now I receive forgiveness of sin, and I declare that you are my Savior. You are my Lord, and you are my King. I receive eternal life into my spirit. And I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell, and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight and forever, I am a child of God. Amen. Keep your hands lifted. Father, Thank you for these ones. No man is able to draw them except you draw them by your spirit. They have come, and they have made this declaration of faith. Therefore, by the authority of Scripture, I declare your sins forgiving, and in the name of Jesus, I call you recipients of eternal life. In the name of Jesus Christ. The power of sin, Satan, hell, and the Grave is broken, and over your life. I commend you to the ministry of the World and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. May you be grounded and established in righteousness. You go forwardever and backwardever. He gives you a new beginning from tonight. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and amen, and God bless you now. Please may I request their counselors waving the placard and waving their hands at you, my right, which is your left? Place, all of you in concert, can. You just move to my right, which is your left, or whatever direction where you find the counselors waving at you. They'll have a word with you very briefly, and then you'll be back to your seat. Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord. Have you been blessed tonight? Let me speak over your life and then wrap over tonight. I can assure you of one thing that when God is done with you, all that will be left in your life is beauty and glory. In the name of Jesus, I decree and declare over your life. Made the blessings of Heaven rest upon you. Every trouble of your destiny, this is the weak. The Lord separates you from them permanently. In the name of Jesus. The wisdom you need to live an excelling life and to maximize destiny, Let it be released upon you. Fresh fire upon your prayer, alter, fresh fire upon your words, study life you are an exceptional believer. The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life becomes evidence to all. Let favor rest upon your life, and it is speaking over your life. The grace to go through the sea since and the faces of your destiny I release upon you. In the name of Jesus Christ. I declare that you are blessed today, and you are blessed all through this month, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen, bless her the grace, May the grace of our Lord, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Let it rest and abide with us non forevermore. Amen. Surely God's goodness and mercies will follow us all the days of our lives, for ever and ever. Amen. God bless you. See you next Sunday. We believe you are mightily blessed.
