A play Seven Encounters with the point Spirit and transformation by the principles of God's Kennylujah. Where's the name of the Lord? Glory be to Jesus. Can we give Jesus a big hand clap, Give him a big hand clap. Hallelujah. Amen, Good evening, everybody. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much. Allelujah. There are not many times in my life where I don't have what to say. There are not many times, but this is one of such times. I'm grateful, Thank you, hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. I was I was tempted to announce miracle service on Sunday, probably as a way of escape. But we're here and it's my cross. I must carry it. I'm grateful, Thank you everybody for showing up. Today is a special day, not just because it's my birthday, but it gives me an opportunity to reflect on the messes of God and to see how far He's able to help us to do the bit that we have done as far as transforming lives. A concert and I want to thank you for taking the time to be here and for all that has happened today. May God bless you. You may be gloriously seated. Can we appreciate the worship team for a wonderful time? Hallelujah. I really want to say thank you. I said that, but I want to repeat it again so that it drums into our heart. I have been humbled and overwhelmed by you know, the things, all the things that have happened today, and i'd be giving us a little update before we go straight to my charge tonight. I want to say thank you. You can imagine the tens of thousands of text messages that have come from all across the globe just celebrating this life. You know, I would humorously say every time we talk with prop that who am I? And who is my father's house? Or I'm a testimony that God can pick a man from anywhere to anywhere. Allelujah. And I'm truly very grateful. I think all who have invested in making today worth the while. And you may want to. Know that so many activities happen today and at least some of them for you, just so that we can celebrate the hand of God. First, we thank God for the welfare distribution. It's a culture to always dedicate days like this just to give back, and I'm really honored to know that thousands of people were able to walk home with relatives that will be able to attend to them and their family members. Is very humbling and I think all who were involved in making this happen. We're still collating the list of all the June twenty fifth babies, but you have no idea how many children are born every day. Praise the name of the Lord. My goodness, is that Mommy or. Jay Please let's give this is a serious whatever whatever, whatever. Listen, listen. Let me just say this very quickly. This is one of those women that believed in us while we were still at the seed stage of our lives. Please, Mommy, can you stand? Please? Can you stand? Let's give mommy a big resounding round of applause. God bless you, Mommy, pleasant surprise, such an honor, God bless you. Hallelujah, Amen, Praise the name of the Lord. So hopefully we'll be able to collate everything and then we'll see how many children were born within a today. And like we said, we're investing to support their bills. And it's an honor to be able to do that we're able to reach out to our people in the prisons today, and we're happy that a number of prisoners are on their way back. Home to be reunited with their people. It's a great joy to have been able to contribute. Some of them would probably die in that place because eternally they would not have anybody to build them. But we're also happy and we're grateful to the controllers and all who have helped to make this possible. It truly is an honor to bring deliberans to bring liberty to as many. Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. And finally, I really want us to thank the medical team and all the medical volunteers for an incredible. Job that was done here. I'm not sure there. Are any videos that are ready, else you would have been so comforting to see what they did. I was told that there were so many people, and thank all of the doctors, the pharmacists, lab technicians, the paramedics who were here from very early in the morning attending to so many people. Praise the name of the Lord. You know, I've told us that birthdays go beyond the celebration of the reason or your. Date of birth. Most times we celebrate the fact that you were born on that day. But the true spirit of birthdays is celebrating the reason for which you were born and that you have had the opportunity to leave it out. That's the true reason to celebrate birthdays. You don't just celebrate a day that coincides with your date of birth or your day of birth, or you celebrate the reason for being said, Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord. As always, I have a few thoughts that I'd be sharing with us tonight. My teachings at this time is usually a dispensing of wisdom, wisdom that I have gleaned from my walk with God, that I've gleaned through the privilege of mentorship, and that I've gleaned through experience by the grace of God. I find these truth treasures because they have helped to make me who I am today. And so every time when we gather for a bad day service, I'd always like to bring out from the archives and to just dish out a few things. And it's my way of giving back. It's truly the only way that I know to celebrate bad days. You would notice by now that, well, don't think I don't like celebration. I think I do, but maybe we just express it in different forms. Ask God what he did to me. But many times I think because of the awareness of destinies and leadership, the body of fatherhood, these things overwhelmed me sometimes. And because I may builder. Anything I look at, I just want to see how it gets finished. So while I'm looking at this, I'm saying, Okay, this is good, but this and that. You can't imagine how many things, how many salmons have lined up in my head, just from sitting here. Okay, I think I need to add this, at this, at that. But it's a joy to be celebrated by people who truly love you. And I'm grateful to everyone, grateful to you, alle lujah Tonight. Very quickly I capture my discussion and a few thoughts. Four of them, four sets of discussions. I break them into four category will help our assimilation, and together I title them ladders, Ladders, truths that deliver greatness, Ladders, truths that deliver greatness. We be looking at for scriptures very quickly, and then will go straight to the teaching ladders. I'm teaching on ladders, giving you treasured, timeless truths that sustain the power to birth or to deliver greatness in the life of anyone, whosoever, under whatever condition. Genesis chapter twenty eight, Deuteronomy twenty eight one and two, Deuteronomy twenty eight one and two. It shall come to. Pass if that shall hapken diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, to observe and do all his commandments, which I command you this day, that the Lord your God will set thee on high above. The nations of the earth. You believe that for yourself, Say amen, and all these blessings shall come on THEE and overtake THEE, if thou shall happen to the voice of the Lord your God. Second scripture is Proverabs Chapter four. Very instructive scripture will begin from verse one Proverbs Chapter foure. Verse one, Here you children the instruction of a father and a tend. To no understanding. Verse two. For I give you good doctrine, forsake not my law. For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. Verse four. He taught me also and said unto me, let thine heart retain my words, keep my commandments, and leave verse five, Get wisdom, get understanding, forget it not, neither decline from the words of my mouth. Six. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve THEE. Love her, and she shall keep THEE. Verse seven. Wisdom is the principal thing. Therefore, get wisdom, and with all getting, get understanding. Eight. Exalt her, and she shall promote THEE. She shall bring THEE to honor. When thou dost embrace her, she shall give to thy head an ornament of grace. A crown of glory shall she deliver to the verse ten, I have taught THEE. Okay, here, oh. My son, and receive my sayings, and the years of your life shall be many. Eleven. I have taught THEE in the way of wisdom. I have led THEE in the right part. Twelve. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straightened. And when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. The final verse it says, take first hold of instruction, and let her not go. Keep her, for she is thy life. The Lord bless the reading of his word. Two more scriptures. Second pit touch chapter one, and will read verse ten. Second Peit touch chapter one and verse ten. It says, Wherefore, the rather brethren, give diligence to make your calling and your elections show. For if ye do these things, not just if you know them. If ye do these things, ye shall never fall. Say amen. First Timote, Chapter four and verse fifteen will be a final read for now. First Timoti four and verse fifteen. Paul speaking to Timothy, his son in the Gospel, and he said to him, meditate upon these things. Give thyself holy to them, that thy profiting may appear onto all. The Lord bless his word in Jesus' name, hallelujah. The first thing I want to talk about is the concept of value. The concept of value. This is a concept that many believers do not really understand, the far reaching implication of defining and redefining value properly. What does it mean to be valuable? Allelujah? To be valuable is measured by your capacity generally speaking, when we talk about value or being valuable. In a generic sense, it. Attempts to measure your ability or your capacity to solve problems, to meet needs, to provide solutions, to answer questions. Your ability to solve problems, your ability to meet needs, your ability to provide solutions and your ability to answer questions. A man is valuable to his world, to his environment, to the degree to which he sends their ability to solve problems, to answer questions, to meet needs, and to provide solutions hallelujah. Value is also measured using the index of widespread desirability. That means when you have a sufficient number of people desiring a person or desiring a thing in their eyes, and to that dispensation, that person. Or thing becomes valuable. Now, this is not measuring the moral the moral standard of whatever it is. Once there is widespread desirability over a person, over an idea, over a product, over a concept, in the eyes of men and with respect to their desire, it becomes valuable, whether it's an information or it's a person. That's how celebrities evolve, That's how they become, whether in the secular or in the faith. You know, anybody and anything that can command sufficient attention creating desirability is considered valuable. But what does value mean for us in the kingdom? And this is a mind shift that it blessed my life is changed my life, and I hope it would do same to you. In a moment in Jesus' name. Now, in the Kingdom, I wrote here, nothing really has an independent intrinsic value. In the Kingdom, nothing has an intrinsic independent value. There is no such thing as an independent intrinsic value. Whether it's a person, whether it's a thing, whether it's an idea, whether it's a product, whether it's a program, nothing really has an independent intrinsic value. That means, in the Kingdom, value is only derived with respect to the ability of that person or that thing to align to the will of God and serve the program of God. So in the Kingdom, you say a person is valuable, or a thing is valuable, or an idea is valuable, or a program is valuable, not necessarily because people like it, not necessarily because people. Desire it away together, but. That that person or that thing has found alignment in God's will and God's purpose. It's somebody learning now. So you see that there is a shift in an understanding, because in the world of men, men can desire and need and celebrate a person or a thing or a program or an idea, and yet from a Kingdom standpoint, it is valueless. The reason is because it could not be used as a tool to serve the program of God. So value in the Kingdom is not intrinsic, it is derived. Is somebody learning now. When a believer says I am valuable, it goes beyond earning a degree or having academic qualifications. It goes beyond skill. It goes beyond the capacity to provide solutions. I am valuable for the believer means that I have found a way of investing my life as a seed, like a seed, investing my life in God's program, that I am at the center of God's will, and my life has become like a drink offering poured out to bring glory to the Lord. It's someone learning now. The Bible talks about the works of men being weighed and tried with fire and would see the quality of the substance upon which the works were made of. This is a Bible truth that has become an anchor of philosophy, an ideology that runs my life. So there's nothing to me in my world. There's no such thing as intrinsic value. Every definition of value beginning from me and everything God gives me. And everything I'm part of. Anything that cannot directly solve the program of God is valueless to me. This is my idea, and it's produced such efficiency in my work with God. It's helped to tame my appetite so that I don't find myself running around many useless things. That become a body knowing that there's nothing that derives its value intrinsically. Not in our world. There are certain things we say have intrinsic value, like precious metals gold, silver. When you find gold any day, refined or not, it can bring you money. For an example, when you find a legal tender a dollar bill nirah because it's being accepted as a means of exchange, you say it is valuable. When you find someone who is educated or skilled, or has money or has connection, you call that invaluable. But in the Kingdom there is no such thing as intrinsic value. Anything derives its value to the degree to which that thing or that person can align with God's program and serve the will of God. Is somebody learning now this is very, very powerful. The meaning of that is that in the believer's life there is no such thing as waste when it can serve God. It means your pain suddenly becomes valuable if it can be used as a tool to reveal the glory of God. It means your past suddenly becomes valuable. If it can be used as a tool. To reveal the glory of God, it means your greatness everything around your life can save the program of God. That concept of not having waste in your life as a believer exists if your life and all that you are about is invested in the program of God. So if you had, say, for an example, a background that was not the best, whether in terms of poverty, in terms of moral decline, or whatever it is, you can literally use that story. You can use that life that pain. Once it can worship the Lord, it becomes valuable. It's someone learning. Now this is very powerful. That all things can work together, because all things in your life can solve the program of God. People and things derive their value from their ability to serve the will and the purposes of God and then to reveal Jesus feeling valuable in your life. If you are to live an effective life, must go beyond acquiring things. Now, look or please, did. You know how many people would check their bank account today and see it in red and conclude that they are not valuable. How many people today will watch. Others entering very nice cars and suddenly feel they're not valuable because they are not in a car that supposedly defines greatness. Now, nothing wrong with those things. How many people. Look at themselves and feel because I don't have a job, because I don't have this and that. Every time you try to use the presence of external things to define and determine whether you are valuable or not, you will live a frustrated life. You will live a competitive life. You will live a life of pressure. Are we together? The Lord set me free many years ago by giving me a switch. In understanding that a man's life, the worth of a man's life, does. Not consist in the abundance of the things around him. Do you know something. The day I gave up deriving value from things, things began to come in a way that they have never stopped. Hallelujah. So for me today, if I have the privilege of entering a nice car, eating a good meal, wearing a nice cloth, I am happy. But all those things are tools. No matter how expensive a thing is, no matter how glamorous a thing is. Once I cannot find how to serve God with it, it. Is useless to me. It's someone learning now. Yes, so if you give me, for an example, if you give me a nice shoe, the reason why I rejoice over that shoe, it's not because more people will respect me, is because at least I have a variety of shoes that I can wear as I serve the Lord. Everything is with respect to the kingdom. It's amer learning. If someone gives me an alad, sends me money and sends me ten mira or fifteen narra, I don't rejoice because it makes me richer. No, I'm not richer because ten narrah was added. I'm richer because a greater opportunity, greater convenience are way together to now solve the program of God. It's someone learning now. So when you say I am valuable, believe me. Set yourself free from the pain of trying to acquire, because deriving it sends value from acquisitions will always leave you in competition and in anger and in stress. You will always have someone with more things than you have, and this is what. Creates an endless journey of competition. Allelujah, by the message of God. I tell you never, I'm not in that business of checking this person is where in this those things matter. It doesn't matter to me at all. Allelujah. How does this help me serve the Lord? How does this help me live an efficient life? Everything? If my life is with respect to how it helps me serve the will of God. So my concept of value as a person. I consider myself valuable today by the message of God for many reasons. One because I am a child of God. I have the life of God within me. But number two, that I have the privilege to use my life as a tool as God's workmanship, to serve his will and to serve his purposes, to be a blessing to humanity. That's the reason why you never hear me talk about value. And I'm talking to you about my account. What is in my account is the business of the accounts there. I want together. Now, what is on my table, Glory be to God. What is in my pocket, Glory. Be to God. I went together. Now. I'm not saying to reject. Nice things or good things. I'm an advocate of living a dissent life. But if you peg yourself, or you put yourself in a state where you have to derive a sense of worth from things, get ready for a journey of pain, a journey of regret. If you steal something from me today, the only reason why I will feel pain, for an example, is because number one, what I receive as a steward and most account for, and then number two probably what you stole can interrupt my efficiency as fans, as far as birthing the program of God is concerned, I want together now if it does not interrupt my sense of accountability before God and God's program take it. And go with it. That becomes your business. Why do I want long life. It's not because I'm afraid of death. I want together now. I've looked at in the eye many times. But the reason why I will not die is because my dying now will not be a blessing to the program of God. I want together now. That my benner life. Is useful for somebody who has been praying, who is part of those assigned to me to raise in righteousness, so I will not die. It is based on that that I can pray the prayer that no enchantment and no divination will work against me. I want together. Why do I hate poverty. I don't hate poverty because of status. I don't hate proverty just because it demeans. I hate poverty because of its effect in interrupting my efficiency as far as serving God is concerned. If poverty did not affect me and the program of God, I would not even care about it. It's somebody learning now. So I'm giving you a renewed orientation about value. While generically speaking. Value has to do with capacity to meet needs, to solve problems, to provide solutions. I went together and then to be desired by many on account of whatever it is you have for the believer in Christ. You find true freedom when you redefine value. That value is not intrinsically derived. It is only derived from or. Through a life that is invested in the will of God, invested in God's program. So I believe I'm treasured by the Lord. I believe when the nations call me blessed, I agree. I'm blessed because one the world of God says so. But number two, because the reason why I am alive is to save. The program of God. Take me outside of the program of God and increase my account by a billionaierror, I would not feel valuable because I have re engineered my mind. There is such a thing as a rich fool. Did you ever read that in your Bible? What made the man reach? Don't forget that money is very important. The man had the tie to reach, which is what most people leave God to get. And the man found the riach very early in life, and yet he did not amount to anything. Now, not everybody may be like me, but I'm telling you it's a way. It's a miracle of healing when you learn to derive your sense of value from your investedness in the program of God rather than the things you acquire. Thank God for good things, thank God for a good car, thank God for a nice house, thank God for an opportunity, for influence, and all these things. But believe me, how many of you can enter one car. You will not even feel one car. It's only one space in the car are wing together. This is all of me. This is my stomach. You're seeing. How many of it can I mean, how many balls of food? How many whatever? Can you take? When you have that understanding, you have a healthy esteem. Not because one night I was added or one night I was taken. You see, my joy is never tied to things living or coming. That's a risk. That's what leads to all kinds of emotional swings. So without profits scign, people can know you are going through a bad season because your joy and happiness is tied to things living or things coming. People can look at you and just suspect that, mister man, it looks like good things are happening, and say, how do you know, and say, because your disposition for me, I am ever happy. Once I wake up and I find. Out that I still have an opportunity to serve the program of God, that I can still take the word of God and use it as a tool alongside my life as a seed to serve. The program of God. I feel valuable. Whether that happens in a heart or it happens in a palace, It. Does not affect my self worth. It's somebody learning. So for an example, as a man of God, I can stand before an auditorium full of people and feel valuable. And I can stand before two people and still feel valuable because it is not the numbers, is the fact that my life is serving the program of God. It's somebody learning. Now. Yes, whether I'm talking to adults and professionals and diplomats and presidents, or I'm talking to little children. I don't consider the stage any different. Once it is an opportunity to pour my life serving the Lord. It gives me the same level of satisfaction. Many believers live lives of competition, emptiness, jealousy, anger are way together. People who sit in church and everybody is looking at who is wearing this? My brother, that. Headache you are carrying, you would die early for no reason. You see that. Now. I live a very very happy life. I aspire for greater things, but at every level of. My life I am contented with gratitude, knowing that with what I have, I. Can serve the Lord. And it is not because I'm a preacher. You don't have to be a Preacher's an orientation that you can have that when so you see for you, when you have this kind of orientation. Being a doctor means you are in ministry. Using your medical knowledge to solve the program of God. How many of you know that science is a revelation of the glory of God. Arts is a revelation of the glory of God. Technology is a revelation. Of the glory of God. All of these areas fields of end devil. They are the bodies that reveal the glory of God on earth. So it's not limited to preachers. When you get up in the morning, your motivation to going to work should not be because a paycheck is coming by the end of the month. Your motivation should be that you can use your gifts. That as you are treating the patients today, what you are doing in the hospital is the same thing I'm doing on the poolpit. Are we together? Yes? That if you own a restaurant and you have this understanding, you know that you are deployed the creativity of the kingdom. Because of your creativity, people will come to eat, Pastors who come to your restaurant, families who come to your restaurant. That right there is ministry. You're a chef in ministry, a doctor in ministry, a politician in ministry. As a mother, you feel valuable, not just because you have rich children around you know the fact that you give that to children and you cannot show them, and that out of these children can come weapons of war, but to access that can be used for the program of God. That's what makes you valuable. Say I am valuable. Don't mind what you are wearing. Say I am valuable. Don't mind what you have in your account, big or small, say I'm valuable. I'm not saying you are valuable because you're an email just hits you that you got a job, no poor orientation. I live a very satisfied life knowing that I have found messy with God to be able to solve his program. To carry my. Life as small as it is and say, Lord, take it, this is what can you do with it? And it says so. Much, so much, And you hand it to him and he does much with it. Value as simple as this definition is, it can help you to appreciate people and genuinely, non pretentiously love people without a sense of competition, without a sense you know. There are people who can never function in a space where there's someone better than them because their definition of I'm talking of. Talk talking Christians, And it's. Not that they are bad, it's that nobody has mentored them into redefining value. My best Lord, say everything. I have, my best Lord. I gave all the help to you. Hey, you made me great, you made me speccial, you made me great. I gave all the healthy. You made me great, you made me spast shot, you made me great. I gave all the healthy. Don't wait till your entire plane to feel valuable. Don't wait till you get a job to feel valuable. Don't wait till you wear designers to feel valuable. Don't wait till you get married to feel valuable. Don't wait till you have children to feel valuable. Don't wait till you are count balance multiplies. To feel valuable. Don't wait till someone is liking or sharing your post to feel valuable. Those are the things that tear you emotionally, and you will live a life of hatred bitterness. Find comfort that if. You can invest your life serving the program of God. If one person can be healed because you are live, if one person can not Jesus because. You are live. If one person can be healthy because you arelive. If one person can go to school because you are alive, If one person can become a better leader because you are live, Heaven considers you valuable. Shout, I am valuable. Allen Lujah. It's a very profound definition, very profound orientation. You know, as I travel to minister the world of God, sometimes when I'm coming in, you know protocols, Sometimes several people, the Big Man of God is coming and sometimes nothing wrong with being admired. You see a lot of people having this celebrity mentality, and you see some of them just smiling. I wish I wish. Out and I just say, oh, dear, I wish I could just sit with these people for one minute and tell them. This is what kills people. Do you know you can be known by everybody and yet be the loneliest person on its. Little wonder You find someone on the one hand being celebrated, and the next day they're hanging themselves and you are wondering what did they ever want that they did not get? They write all kinds of letters and kill themselves. I give all I have to you. You made me great, you made me special, meaning Ray, I give. All I have to you. A post about my issue is that I can't speak English very well. Use that limited knowledge for now while you grow align yourself. To serve the purposes of God. It doesn't take speaking English very well to be an intercessor. English is needed when you want to be a public speaker. Before you get to public speaking, speak the way you. Know to speak. Start from His presence. You are valuable. I wing together. Next time somebody looks at you and says you are nothing because. Of what you are wearing. Says you are nothing because it feels oh, you are not in a relationship. There's no man or no woman in your life. Use this salmon as a wall a defense. The fact that my life can serve the Lord is enough reason, the highest, the greatest reason. Let every other thing be an addition. Who is learning now? Alle lujah? This is particularly important to the ladies, precious daughters of Zion being torn apart by all kinds of ideas. Because I cannot afford this hair, afford this shoe, because there is no x y, this turtles of a man in my life, I am not valuable. And you find people almost magically, when a rich man comes into their life or they get a job, they want. Everybody to worship. Them because in their minds, my tatos are so upgraded. Are you not aware? And the people say, we are not aware here and people get angry. You call me Joshua Selman instead of a possule, Joshua Selman. When you get to a point where your value I'm drumming this so that we'll go to the next thoughts. Have you learned anything now? So when you say next time you stand before people, I say I'm valuable. Please take your mind away from your cast, your houses, your estates. I'm not saying don't recognize them, and don't get me wrong, they are to the feeling. Remember there are six major fundamental needs of man. One of it is significance, one of it is growth. So it is all right. The coming of these things can become a consolation to your heart, but it should never be the basis. Of your being confident. I will never derive my confidence in material things. It's not a wise way to live. Hear what the wealthiest man in his day said. He said, of. Reading many books, there is no end, and much thought is only a weariness to the soul. He says. Here the conclusion of the matter, Fear God and keep his commands, for this is the whole duty of man. This is my phone. I honestly cannot even remember the name, and whether it's the latest or the another one. If I buy the. Latest phone, it is for convenience and the fact that I can afford it. And at my level, it is not pride away together now, but that I am buying another phone so that you will respect me. That's a boding God did not give me, and Jesus said, my yoke is easy, so verify while your own is killing you. It means that there is a yoke you are put on your neck. It's someone learning now. Yes, that brings to an end that do you know who I am? Statement? Do you know who I am? Means I have this in my account, I have this amount of money. If God has elevated you, I rejoice with you while I'm on my way coming. But you will not bullying me into a low self esteem simply because what God has done away together is the reason why I hate oppression. I hate to see many people use things to oppress others. Allelujah. I remember many years ago a ministry. Was trying to invite me outside of this nation, and whilst they were speaking, they said, Apostle, we know that you know you lead a very large congregation of people, but we can pull people together. And who pull a lot. Of people, I mean it will be in so many people, and by the grace of God will take care of you, put you in a nice car and give you good on a radio and they were speaking sincerely, except that I said this, we. Don't know who they're talking to. After they were done with all those things, I said, you believe this is why I will come. That may even be the reason why I wouldn't come. Yeah, to believe that. You tell me that, oh there will be X y z number of people, this the kind of car will put you in, and this is how much money will give you. And then I say, wow, this this looks alloring. It means I'm not a child of God, not to even talk of being a man of God. It's somebody learning. Place your hand confidently on your chest and say, I am valuable because my life is already invested. Serving the purposes of God. My life is already invested birthing the will of God on earth. My life is. Already invested being a blessing to humanity. Therefore I am valuable. Let the coming of a man only enhance it. Let the coming of a woman only enhance it. Let the coming of money only enhance it. Let the wearing of designers only enhance it. Let the elevation in terms of platform only enhance it. Let it not become the reason. Has somebody learned something? Never depend on things to derive your sense of confidence. Sometimes I watch occasionally when I sit down to watch television as I scroll. Sometimes I scroll to channels and just watch for a few minutes where they're talking about celebrities. And honestly, sometimes I literally put my hand on my chin and just shake my head. All I see is not glamor. Most of what I see is pressure. Pressure. I must snap. Well, my reputation is at stake. I must turn this way. And they don't get me wrong, that's the way they do their thing. Just say, what kind of life is this? No wonder they die early, No wonder they get depressed. Allelujah. I'll tell you something that happened. One day. We're trying to eat. Somewhere, and what they brought for me to eat, which was wasting my time and inconveniencing me. And I was not in a settin that eating and how it would matter. And at the point I said, look, if I continue this way, this book is too small, this spoon is too small, and this protein demands a level of aggression, and this thing. Is not It's good to be gentle, it's good. To be official, but men, come on, and I have to say, you know what, let me just let me make the most of. Whatever God has given me. I saw people trying to cause this the spoon who fall caught this the knife? I said no, in a formal setting where you are repri that's okay. Well, where you are alone, drop that thing and alan lujah. Feeling voluable must go beyond acquiring things. It must go beyond the things that have come into your life. It must be because you are connected to Jesus and your life. Your mind, your skill, your time, your. Resources, everything about you is about the program of God, invested in breathing the will of God. If you assume this orientation, you will be a winner. I assure you number two very quickly. The second thing we're going to talk about is the concept of impact. What does it mean to be impactful or to live a life of impact. Many believers talk about impact, but not many have taken out time to really understand what it means to be impactful. Let me give you a definition that I wrote here. When your presence and your contribution makes people, things, places and situations better than you met them, you are impactful. When your presence and your contribution makes people, makes things, makes places and situations better than you met them, you are impactful. That's my definition of impact. That every time you show up, your presence and whatever contribution you bring has. The power to make people, to make. Things, to make places, and to make situations better than you met them. You are living an impactful life. It's on my learning. When Jesus walked upon the earth forty three and a half years and the most active part of that was the last three and a half years, he left it eternally better from his spiritual. Standpoint than he met it. So we can say that. Jesus lived an impactful life. Impact again, like value, is not measured in how many things you were able to acquire, but the fact that your presence and your contribution made people, made things, made places and situations better than you met them. These were the questions that I asked in my time of retreat. Have I made people? Have I made things? Have I made places? And have I made situations better for people than I met them? If the answer is yes, then you can beat your chest with all humility and say, by the message of God, I'm living an impactful life. So living an impactful life is not something only you will know that are in. This is to measure it. Whose life changed because you came, Whose life change because you gave Whose life change because you preached? Whose life changed because you went to school? Don't tell me you went to school. Who is changing? What is changing, what is improving? What is growing? Because you came. Allelujah, living people, things, places and situations better than you met them. Impact also measures the extent and the quality of your contribution. Write that down. Impact also measures the extent and the quality of your contribution. When we say you are very impactful, it means that your contribution is to a measure that is significant. Hallelujah. For an example, if someone gives five hundred Ira versus someone who gives ten million Ira with respect to access to resources to do good, the man who gave ten million has made a greater impact in that system because he has provided a greater opportunity to do more. Am I right on that? Yes? If I stay in the secret place and I grow in the anointing to a degree that God is able to flow to me and do much in the lives of people, say healings, say deliverances. I can say my life is being impactful because you can measure the extent of my contribution. Impact can be measured. Hallelujah. That's the reason why even in the Bible. There's thirtyfold, there's sixtyfold, and there's one hundred fold. You should never stop until you get to that hundred fold dimension of impact. It's the reason why, even though God is doing much in our lives, we don't plot two. We don't plot two. Hallelujah. Many of you watched the video. I think I saw a video going around where I was doing a little orientation for my people about the corinonial logo, and I was explain about the bird that the ego that is it does not plant too. It's still flying. It's not sorry. And the reason is because there are still heights. It says, the path of the just. It's as a shining light that shines more and more until the perfect day. I can't tell you none of us is there yet, no matter how impactful, Once you are alive, there's still room for more. So when people celebrate me for the little God is done and is doing in my life, I am truly grateful. But I know that for me, every birthday is like a ladder that I'm stepping that allows for greater levels of impact. It's somebody learning now. Impact can be measured the extent of your contribution. Once upon a time, we did not have the capacity to feed this many people. We did not have the capacity to bail out a few people from prisons. We did not even have the influence. Today we can say, by the mercy of God, we are making greater impact. The reason is because you can see the results the extent. Are we together? Now? You want to know how impact. Through Jesus was and how is Look how many people come to Jesus every day. Look how many lives have been changed. God calls us to live a life of impact. But it's important that we understand that impact is not about acquisitions. It's about making your presence and your contribution make things better, leave things better than you met them. And it may be in a very small setting, like your home or like your school. You can start from there and then as God increases you, your impact can spread. Now I wrote something here. I said, impact demands that. You must look beyond yourself. You cannot talk the language of impact if you are still looking at yourself. The very idea of impact demands that you must look beyond, look beyond yourself. No man becomes impactful for taking care of himself. No man becomes impactful, and the basinis of impact is that you eat well. No for what impact is measured by how your life your gift becomes a blessing to people, leaving people better. Therefore, impact, it's. Not just an activity, It's not just an action, is a mentality. You can carry the mentality of impact. Are we together? That you see something on the ground, because you have an orientation of impact, you know that picking it and dropping it in the beam will leave that environment better than it is. So you respond. You see someone who needs counseling, and you can take five minutes from your time to say is everything all right? Because you impact conscious, you leave. That person better than you met him. Let me tell you this. No believer should live situations and people and destinies at the same level or worse than he met them. You're not living an impactful life. That's why we were giving the anointing. That's why we were giving resources of wisdom of favor. Are we together? You should be a blessing, and in being a blessing, you should always think. Let me tell you this, Please look up everybody. The opposite of an impactful life, in my opinion, is a beggarly life where you are waiting for people to always do things for you. And there are people like that. They never believe they can do anything to anybody. Once they see a rich man, they just remember, Oh, I wish I can get close to this person so I can get something. Once you are conscious that parasitic mentality of always believing that you should prey on people you see you, everybody. Will resent you. Do you know why? Because the world gravitates towards. Give us, not take us. Give us. Now. Don't forget that all blessings come from God, through men to men. But always be giving conscious, especially believers. Impact. A life of impact is not about position or status. You can be made the leader of a group or a department, and it's just that you are the face of the good things that are happening. But it does not come from you. The one who is the giver is the one making impact, the. One who is willing to look beyond himself and herself. Are we together? In all fairness, I would have been anywhere in the world today if I want to anywhere at all in the world deciding to relax someone There's nothing wrong with that. But I have trained myself. There's not your wrong with rest and refreshing, but I've trained myself. I believe that I'm too young for that kind of lifestyle. The King's business requires haste that somebody needs to be changed, be blessed, be healed, be lifted, be delivered, be encouraged. So for me, I don't have to forego blessing people to rest. I can't do both. Rest while blessing people, rest while healing people, rest while delivering people. Hallelujah. I must walk the walks of Him that sent me while it is there. I must leave people better than I met them. I must live cities better than I met them. One of the greatest ways to change people is to upgrade their belief systems. One of the greatest ways there is nobody who cannot make impact. Impact is not all about giving money. Part of impacting people is to sell them value systems that improve their lives. That's the greatest way to help people. If you truly love people, then go for wisdom, because that's how to bless people. Decisions decide destiny away together, and your ability to upgrade a man's decision making capability truly makes you a blessing. I can give you money and still live you with an enslaved mentality. But if I bring truth that is life transforming, truth that can change you, have impacted you knowledge first and then all the benefits. I consider today an impacts through the Why because over eight hundred or one thousand people receive medical treatment. Do you know what that means? Maybe somebody who death had already come over medically, because medicine is an expression of God's glory to someone's. Life been elongated right. Now because I'm alife because of this day. This is impact. It's someone learning now. The people who will be released from the prisons today, maybe somebody who did something wrong, honestly wrong, and maybe that person was praying in the prison. Lord. I don't have the money, but my heart is truly changed. Now God can send you and you can look. Let me tell you it's a beautiful thing to always be giving, conscious, always be the one wanting to improve. Don't carry a need the mentality. I'm not saying to not seek for help, because there are proud people who don't have their need, and. Yet they will never seek for help. That's not what I'm talking about. Hallelujah. When I look at people. I feel guilty. You know, I wired myself so much by the spirit of God to a point that God had to help me again to be a receiver. Till to I'm still struggling. With receiving. Because I indoctrinated myself to be so giving conscious till today. It took a lot for me. To open up my heart and start receiving seats from people. I almost feel as if I stole something from you, if you give something and I don't give back. It took a retraining of my mind to say it is okay to also receive. I'm still there. I've not arrived there yet. So you have a prayer point for me now. Some of you, I don't need to pray for you. I don't need to pray because your state is always Your hands. Are like this, even when you're sleeping, you. Expect everybody to get and give. You don't pray for nobody. You don't celebrate nobody. Have you seen people like that? If they post anything, it is them. If they celebrate anything, it is them. If they talk about anything, it is them. Body in their. Life is what's investing into. If you ever see them smile at someone, they have found something in that person's life that can quickly benefit them, and they will parasite on it very quickly for the time and then suck the person out and then move on. And some of these people are Christians. Everybody say I'm a blessing, say I'm a giver. I live an impactful life. If you don't have money, you have a relationship with God and you can pray, you can mean somebody, well, are we together now? There is always something that can come from you to others. Impact demands that. You look beyond yourself. Again. I always give the example of our children here. I took out time. So I've not had the opportunity to always read their letters, because sometimes I just get busy and I forget. But I think it was there before. Yesterday. I sat down in the office and I took out time. I said I would read the letters, all of the letters. This children wrote all of it, I said, toward the whole thing for me. And I sat down and read one by one. And I'm not an emotional person, but I was surprised. Tears came out of my eyes. Some of them were drawing me. I told you, some of them. One of them did something profound. He got a notebook and dramatized every word of knowledge she could remember. Oh that thing blessed me. So if I prayed for maybe a sick person, he would try do his best. And I said that even me, I can't even remember what I said. Impact demands that you must look beyond you. You are important, but it is not always and only about you. You are important, or it is not always and only about you. Many of us cannot look beyond ourselves. Once it does not profit you. Have you heard people say, what is in it for me? Be careful with that kind of orientation. There are times everything in it is for God, everything in it is for others. And yet that's where you get your satisfaction. Hallelujah, a life of impact when you interceed for others. By the way, I want to thank the various groups I got to know that there were so many groups praying for me. There were people who first sed for weeks. Praying different groups. Let me use this platform, those who are sons and daughters in this house and those who do not even know women, different groups around the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very very much. Hallelujah. You have done so well for me. I came in and I saw a very beautiful cake. Look at that cake, am I left, very beautiful. Let's celebrate. I brave the welfare department for doing this remarkable work. But you say you only eat this one and a few hours you go to the toilet and that's you. See. And as you grow in life and in age, the doctors begin to put a cap. Unfortunately, you just see it and that's how you eat it. Away together. But the one who prays for. You, there's no part of it that is a waste. Oh God, bless him, Oh God, preserve him. Oh God, open doors. When Isaaca was it, Kenny was praying here and I just sat there. I said, oh dear, there is nothing that gladdens my heart like knowing that people are genuinely invest in prayer, because this one is something that is spiritual, is eternal. You can give me tea and bread. I'm grateful for it, but there's only so much you can eat. Nobody can never have enough of prayer. Allelujah, saying the name of Jesus, with your hands lifted, saying the name of Jesus. I receive grace from today to look beyond myself. I receive grace that at my level I will begin to give. I would begin to bless, I would begin to heal, I would begin to build in the name of Jesus. Don't wait until you become a man of God one day. That's not how you start. Someone comes to your house crying. Remember impact impact, my brother, Can. I share with you whatever the issue is, we can pray about it. Impact impact. I would learn a lesson many years ago about the danger of selfishness. And I'm sorry to give the example. I lanted from those who coordinate, you know transport who get passengers into bosses. Sometimes you know these bosses that people who feel up so they may need ten people or so. Sometimes you see the people running. Because they're looking for the passengers to feel it all. Have you seen that kind of thing happen? And they can see a young lady or a young guy, and they use all kinds of enticing words, young lady coming here. All that they are seeing is the money that feels up that space, not the person. While they're busy leering the guy or the lady, somebody just gets into the car. They tourney immediately and ignore you. So it was never about you can. I tell you it's dangerous for people to know that you're You're smiling at them, you're loving them, you're calling them, Yes, sir, it's never because you love them. It was because you thought by doing that you could get something for your selfish reason. It's a disposition you must never have. It is painful to see that people call you sah Man, man of God simply because they are hoping that they play politics on your mind and just get something for themselves. And there are people who don't mind. They are so selfish they don't mind rolling on the ground if that is the price of getting. Anything from you to them. I pray for you the spirit of. Self be delivered from it, shouted believing. Amen. Nothing wrong with receiving, but make sure you always check your giving receiving equation. By the time all you are doing is receiving receiving, something is wrong with you. Even biology teaches that if all you are doing is receiving receiving without giving, it will break you down health wise. And you will die. Allelujah. A plant receives from. The ground soil nutrends, and then it does not stop there. It produces fruits, and I don't know many plants. I'm not an agriculture is, but I don't know many plans that eat themselves or eat their fruits. A major part of it, except the ones that fall and rot, but a major part of it. They don't eat it. Are we together? The orange tree does not eat its orange. The mango tree does not eat its mango, but. It brings beautiful fruits, and it attracts people, and people come to receive it and go. But the people also not show it too. Can I tell you something? It is powerful to make sure that you are not only receiving, you are giving. The whole concept of impact. It's not just about doing great and lofty things. Is that something in your life you are bringing out the gifting of God in you, whatever it is, and you're doing something impactful. Sometimes I get text messages from. People and they send one hundred. Niraricharge card and they send it. With all their hearts. Now in truth they know that they may not really add up to anything, but they still do it anyway. They say, apostle, this is not much what it is from my heart. There are some of you here. You are believers. Now I'm not putting you under any pressure. You have never there's not one nira, one dollar that has come up from you. Even today, that is my bed day. I'm not saying to do anything. Oh, some of you you came now looking around? Is there any bag of rice for us? This cake, I know a post is not going to eat. Yes, I have a right to tell you. Change on this day. Change change, allelujah. Change, Grow out of this need the mentality. Don't waste the presence of the Holy Spirit. In your life. Don't always think they will give us they will give us. No, I've taught you giving is not limited to money. If you cannot give value, what do you give? Gratitude and come and talk to me like you have learning. If you cannot give value, give gratitude and give honor hallelujah. Every time you feel you cannot give value, give gratitude, lavishly, honor, lavishly. Lavishly. I took out time to roll before the Lord like I always do, and I said, thank you Lord for my life. How many things can I give you? If you are hungry, it's not me you will call. Can I cook for you? No? If you need something to be done, you can do without me. But it's an honor to give me a little portion of your program to steal it, and I just thank him generously. Let me tell you this, learn to be impactful by having a giver mentality, and by giver, I don't mean Nira and Cobble. Always make sure that your life is about drawing from what is within you. When you are a giver, then God can pour into you because he knows that you will not be a reservoir. It will flow. The Bible says, out of your belly shall not shall stay, not shall stay. There is a popular statement that stagnant water stinks. It is true, stagnant what things you have to flow? Allelujah giver. Number three, So number one we spoke of value. Number two the concept of impact as an orientation, a mentality where your presence and your contribution leaves people, things, places, and situations better than you meet them. Number three. Pay attention to this one. There is a price for an exceptional life. There is a price for greatness an exceptional life, and destiny comes with a price. And I was thinking through. This as I was just grabbling the notes that will form you know, our discussion tonight. I have a very honest submission it's an uncomfortable one. But I'll tell you this. Many Christians have on that estimated the real price of a glorious destiny. Many Christians have on that estimated. Not many people understand the price in righteousness that must. Be paid for a great and a glorious destiny. I wrote here, if you desire greatness, you must be willing to pay the price. If you desire greatness, you must be willing to pay the price. Now let me tell you this. I wrote something here, and I want. To read it out. I said, the grace and the help of God can. Make achievements appeer effortless, deset fully effortless sometimes, and it makes many believers to trivialize the price for greatness. That means, the grace of God upon a man, the help of God upon a man can make achievements appeer effortless. It looks like nothing was really done. Ministry effortless, business effortless. The grace of God can make things appear in the eyes of men as so not much has been done. And because of that, it beguiles people to think that you just do little and then everything just happens. It's not true. I can tell you from scripture, and I can tell you from experience there is a huge price to an exceptional life. All things are finished in Christ, but the sacrifice of alignment that in imps those Finnish realities to be true in your life. There is a labor dimension. What kin the world till it profits? There is a real price, everybody said, there is a price, at. Least for you. Some of the things that really make for greatness. The price of mastery and competence. The price of faith, the price of courage, the price of patience. Don't worry, I repeat myself. The price of discipline, the price of failing and yet not quitting. The price of sacrificing your desires to align with the will of God. The price of warfare, the price of having the emotional strength to remain on cause when you are misunderstood, the price of intentionally remaining humble in the midst of great results, the discipline of consistency. This and more represent the two price that makes for greatness. Now that you have heard, let. Me repeat myself so that you're right that there is a price. Number one, the price of mastery and competence. I'm just giving you, in no particular order, Number two, the price of working and living by faith. I'm showing you the price for greatness working and living by faith. Number three the price of courage. Courage, courage, sir, bearing the undearable. Maybe you are the first person to do it in your family, working on water. If I perish, I perish. The price of patience, allowing your training to have its full cause. The price of discipline. Discipline both in terms of the staying power and the power of restraint. The price of failing and not quitting. Ah, this one is a real price. And sometimes it's not just failing ones, failing as many times until you win, and yet not quitting. The price of. Sacrificing your personal desires to align with the will of God for your life. That's a huge price. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done. It's someone learning now. The price of warfare, contending against spirits, and limiting beliefs. The price of warfesir, warfair, limiting beliefs, demonic spirits. The price of having the emotional strength to remain on course even when you are misunderstood. No body wants to be misunderstood. But unfortunately it is the price for greatness until the glory is revealed. You are the only one. You and God will be the only one who understand what you are doing. And let me tell you, for a major part of the journey, you will be led in parts that even you cannot give all the answers to. It takes courage to be misunderstood and then you continue. Especially in this our world where we are so adverse to be misunderstood, we always want to explain ourselves the price of intentionally remaining humble in the midst of great results. Let me tell you the truth. Your humility is not genuine until you really have results. When you have results, that's when you see how uneasy it is to remain truly humble. I've seen very wealthy and blessed people, but my goodness, their. Humility is so instructive. I've seen people who are some of the finest of intellectual minds, and yet they're so humble. I've seen annoying, ted people, very humble, but I've also seen arrogant people, and with all due respect, I've seen empty and arrogant people. That's the worst sight to behold. Emptiness with arrogance like an empty container that is locked. Hallelujah, the price of discipline and consistency, or the discipline of consistency. This and more. Represent the price that any and every believer must pay to aspire for a great life. Now let me say this. The truth is more than eighty to ninety percent of the people who desire and also trivia life's success cannot maintain it if it comes to them. It is something I found out. Most of the people who genuinely desire success at any level, and even who trivia lives it in orders, if that result were to come to them, they don't have the stature and the maturity to maintain it. It is true. All these millionaires, they are just talking. Look at them living a life of waste. Let that person get ten million and you'll be surprised. It won't greet anybody, even God. It will pray again, he won't do anything. And yet someone is sitting on so much and can serve in church, can roll on the ground before God. Allelujah. Let me tell you this. As I have grown in leadership and grown in my work with God, I have come to respect God's opinion in all matters. If you see God not lifting someone intentionally, just leave God or he knows what he's doing. Don't try to help him and say, Ah, but God, this man is God knows what he is working on. Are we together now? Because the heart of men. Is so deceptive. There are many people who. Do not have the stamina to maintain greatness, the stamina to maintain greatness, to love, to be humble, to still be a steward to serve. There are people who look humble until things start working in their lives. And you will be surprised the way they turn against God and they turn against everything good. Allelujah. Greatness has a price, and everybody must obtain grace from God. Now, please look up. The assignment of mentorship is not to take responsibility over your life. Is to subsidize the price of greatness for you. The assignment of mentorship is not to take over the responsibility of your becoming. It's not to take over the responsibility of your imagine. It is simply to subsidize the price. So for an example, let's just give it monetary terms for understanding. If the prize for becoming all that God has ordained for you is say one billion worth, mentorship can go as far as covering six hundred million for you. But that remaining part I assure you by God you must pay it. Have you seen somebody that you bought something for them and delivered it at the DHL office and say go and pick it, and for one year they could. Not pick it. That's how many destinies are. It's been delivered though, even if you are to trek go and pick it, and he said, ah, you would have brought it home. Now, that's how many people are. They believe that mentorship, fatherhood and so on and so forth has the responsibility to take over their life. Go through it to the promised land. Even salvation does not provide that for you. Jesus died, but you must confess his lordship with your own mouth, not his mouth. He's died for you. He's making intercession. But you must hear the gospel. You do, the believing, you do, the receiving. Are we together you do the declaration of his lordship, then eternal life becomes yours. In spite of all that Jesus has done, the freest gift he gave men that ares see people going to hell today because they did not take responsibility over their life. Again, we refer to the story of the rich young ruler. He comes to Jesus and he says, Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life. He was a responsible man because. He believed that for anything to happen in his life, he had to participate in it, except that for salvation he did not have the power to die for himself. Good Master, what must I do? Let me tell you this if it. Will ever happen in your life. God has a role. Mentorship has a role, but you have a role. God has a role. Mentorship has a role, but you have a role. A person. Why I desire to be anointed? I give you the formula. There is a part of that journey only God can God can bring the increase, can bring all of this. There is a part of that journey that mentorship was assigned to provide to subsidize it for you. But there is a part of the journey only you can take responsibility. Allelujah. There are many children to their angry at parents because they believe, Oh, if my father were serious, would not be poor. Okay, agreed, But even if. He was rich, it would say, cover thirty percent. Of his jockey would shorten the journey. It would not mean you'll be rich. There are many wealthy children who, in spite of what their parents gave them, they couldn't make much out of it. Allelujah, somebody learning. The greatest way to show how you are responsible for your destiny is I think, in my opinion, it's most dramatized in the restorative process of the prodigal song. The Father did not cover all the distance, and the prodigal Song did not cover all the distance himself had to do the deciding I will arise and go to my father. And whilst he was halfway. The father too said I will arise and go to my son. Now the Bible does not record him saying that, but at least wisdom helps us to know that the father, I will arise and go to my son. I will arise and go to my father. If the boy had sat down there, well, I believe by the message of God, the Father would have gotten there. However, the boy will have to do their rising. The Bible says, arise and shine. Light will come to you, or you will have to arise. Allelujah. The man in Us chapter three at the It's beautiful, the Bible says, Peter and John looked at the man and said silver and gold I do not have, but such as I have, give I on to you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, Rise up and walk. Look at that verse seven. Now the Bible says the man sat there. He sat there, and he reached out to help him. He said, you have to rise off. I always wondered why Jesus would look at people who had never walked and say, rise up, take up your. Bed, and go. It sounded cruel to me coming from a messic for God. Someone who had never worked for thirty eight years, someone who was born blind or born lame. You put spiritual in his eyes and say, go by yourself, go and wash at the pool, calls loam. Elansha looks at the man Naman and says, go to Jordan by yourself. The prophetic world has released grace upon you. But go and wash about yourself seven times. Waiting for God to do everything is a recipe for disaster. Everything has been done in Christ. But the manifestation of the promises the destiny God has ordained for you. You have a role to play. I pray for you in the name of Jesus, that the grace and the stamina to take responsibility over your life and drive it until you see the glory of God revealed. May that grace be released upon you. Shouted, believe in Amen, shout he believe in Amen. Allelujah. That's how we war with prophecy. It's the reason why ten people can receive the same prophetic world. One will always return with results. You know why, because they know how to war a good warfare with prophecy. As he receives that word in the name of Jesus, may God open up doors for jobs. By morning he's suching the Internet. In the name of Jesus. Oh, I know you was a friend, sir. Just to let you know that if there is a job opportunity, I am there and you would take. And if he hears that there's any whatever, any opportunity, any training, the person goes there, that person will most likely get the miracle, versus the one who says, I know God. Will do it. It's a cliche we have used to cover irresponsibility in the body of Christ. I know God would do it, Allelujah. A hospital is there to help patients, but even if you pay the medical bills, the patient must know that he's sick enough and take responsibility to go to the hospital. There were many people who were treated today. The medical team did not go to their homes to go. And meet them. There the announcement was made that there is a fist of fat things. There is a banquet for you. Are we together? Yes, as many who came received, those who did not come, they did not receive. One day, somebody sent me. A text and he staid, Apostle, I've been trying to see you for three years. I mean this Abuja. I almost replied and say, you are a liar trying to see me for three years. That I'm what I went to heaven. Why will you be trying to see me for three years? You did not have the patience to wait. You felt too big to wait. You wanted to be received in a way that was bigger than your level. That's why you did not see me for three years. It's as simple as that. The Bible says, when you enterre a place, sit at the back. It's a prophetic statement. Even if you're a great man, because you are not known in that environment, work with the system and be modest. If you are a man of. Honor, your honor has a voice. It will bring you to the front. I went together. There are many people who want to be helped at your terms. No, sir, it's like a student telling the lecturer when I'm ready, please, I will call you. What kind of lecturer is that prays the name of the Lord. It's like me. For an example, Let's say I'm going for a chekhop in the hospital. No matter what priority services they give, I don't go there as a man of God. I go and humble myself. If they say bring your hand, I will bring my hand. If they say lie down, I would lie down. I won't say you don't know. It's like you've not heard about going on. That's your business. You are the one who is seekser or you are the one who wants to check yourself. Sir, Are we together? Yes? No body becomes successful at their terms. There is a price and is fixed. It's non negotiable. Mentorship and fatherhood gives you the leverage from the word liver. It provides a system of advantage, but you must obtain the doing grace from God to press. Let me tell you this. Some of you right now you are on your way to manifesting great success. Don't stop I told you the various prices. Some of you, you are in a season where God is teaching you discipline. God is teaching you consecration. You are living in the silence of God. You know I told you that there are three major seasons before believers emerge. There is a season of discovery and preparation. There is a season of testing and proving. Then there is a season of manifestation. Always know these seasons. Allelujah. You never hear me. Never hear me. Trivialized greatness when I see it, I don't look at a person who is great and just assuman and look at this. Sometimes we have a wrong theology that the reason why this man is great is because it's part of his divine ordination to be great. It's not true. It's not true. At any level you can maximize your destiny. Are we together? Or the reason why this man is doing this globally or running this business globally, I'm sure it's because it's in his destiny. It's not just so. Jesus, as much as he had a great destiny. Could still fail, would still fail. Receive the grace to take responsibility tonight in the name of Jesus If your finances is not working, don't give excuses. If your spiritual life is not working, don't give excuses. You've heard me say there is always a way out, but not for everybody. The way out is for the person who keeps asking, who keeps seeking, who keeps knocking. Did you hear what I said? The Bible says amplifying, Ask and keep asking, knock sick and keep seeking, Knock and keep knocking, keep knocking. Sir. That it did not open last year does not mean it to not open this year. Ask and keep asking, Pray and keep praying, Read and keep reading, Give and keep giving, love and keep loving, Stay and keep staying. That's a price as a price. I don't frown at difficult things because I've been trained by the world, through mentorship and through my experiences that the cost. Dimension of life is not an attack. It is how greatness happens. Lost dimension of life is how greatness happened. I don't say, let them do it. Who is the them? I roll my sleeves and I. Know that if it must happen, I have a role to play again. I pray for you in the name of. Jesus, everything that has refused to move. In your life. On this day, I. Release grace upon you, the grace to start taking constructive word based, spirit inspired action that moves you forward. In Jesus' name. If ministry is not growing, don't give an excuse and says because people are collecting. Power from everywhere. How many of the people are collecting power? No, sir, ministry is not growing because you don't understand the dynamics. The Bible says, the labor of a man weary at him because you know it, not how to go to the city, read the books, submit to mentorship, learn allow mentorship, and Father would subsidis. The price bring for you distilled knowledge. Your finances is not working, don't say it's because I'm a man of integrity. It's because I rejected corruption. Ah, I'm failing because everybody who wants to help me is. Looking for my body. That story is not complete. Say lie, not everybody is looking for your body. Take responsibility and change your life and stop giving excuses. Everybody who wants is looking for your body. Is that true? When orders are reading, you are sleeping. When orders are praying, you are sleeping. When orders are studying, you are sleeping. When people are buying books, you are buying clothes. God is not mocked whatsoever a man so well. The Bible says, if you sow to the flesh, you will love the flesh. Rip corruption. Am I right on that with all due respect, as a man of God. You are not increasing in stature. And you are saying, oh, it's just because I this is a lie. There's no such excuse as that someone is invested in the place of prayer, firsting, building, trusting God for grace, studying the world, getting materials great, but asking acting as if they're just starting, and another person that's not taking a step but he has arrived, Your results will not be the same. Sir. I have seen mult time millionnaires go for financial seminar pastor and they sit quietly mul. Time millionnaires in dollars. I've seen men of God, mighty men and women of God. They follow pastors conferences learning. Like they don't. If you see me as I'm watching following a pastors conference, you will think I don't know anything about ministry. Because let him that think that he knowed anything, know that he does not know us he ought to know. And you find someone that has not even started anything, You are still knocking. The doors not open. Listen, I release upon. You the grace to kill every excuse that is stopping you from imagine. In the name of Jesus Christ. Allelujah, Apostle. I want to see you to pray for me, but the protocol will not allow you. Say lie, you are not determined enough. You are not determined enough. Away together. There are people who sometimes they stay and even international guests. Somebody will leave Australia and come here and sit down for three hours, four hours, five hours, smiling, tired, hungry, not knowing their way, but patient because they place value on your nunting. They know that one encounter will change your life. And someone who lives in who say, or somebody who lives in Caro is saying, it's too far? How can I go? You are not serious? The problem has not sat on you. Well listen, what is trazy? You determines how you run? I went together. Let me tell you the truth, and I don't mean to brag. I can tell you sacrifice this in righteousness. That we made at one point. Or the other, in righteousness, all be it by the grace of God, seeking for dimensions that were missing in our lives but needed for our destinies. Nothing will come and meet you at your platter of golds are nothing. I saw the bankruptcy. Of knowledge, and I said, listen, the def admits this on time. It will bring me deliverance on time. I saw men and women who had results, men and women. Who had results. We followed Jesus, but followers of them, while foolish people were criticizing them, were following sincerely. I saw a man like doctor Males Munro, a man who has He demonstrated a level of Apostolic Christianity that impressed my heart. The biggest church in Bahamas at the time, and an advisor to precedent over how many books and they were best sellers. He modeled a level of exploits that went beyond church walls. I'm not sure there's any of his books in his lifetime that I did not buy. Don't sit down and just threeve. Your life people's results and say, oh, this person, it's just lucky, it's just in your destiny. I hope you are learning tonight. I'm speaking persionately because I love you and I want to challenge you tonight. If that my uncle just gave me a job. I'm sure if you had given me a job, by now I would have had the capital to do business and invest, and by now I'll have been riched. Look like how your mind is working. If your uncle gave you a job, as what creator of the heavens and the earth know, sir, why didn't you go to the one who created the uncle and stayed here. To pray like the widow? Look it in, I don't have a job, or I can pray every day. There has to be a way out the hidden wisdom of God. Look, let me tell you the truth. If things are not working, get angry, get angry. There is something called your holy dissatisfaction, and I pray for you make that dissatisfaction. Hold on to your life until you go forward. Hold on to your life until your price forward. Alan Jujah, don't mind all these young young preachers. They're the ones who know where they got their power from. Can you imagine? Don't mind all these young people who are wealthy. There's not everything that glitters that is gold, but gold. Glitters, but genuine gold glitters. Are we together? You never hear me Trivi. Your lifeeman's results, particularly that I know it's in righteousness go to China. The things who are calling miracles in Africa are performed by diligence. Young children, teenagers. Are inventing things, running companies. It's as if there is said course in Africa. When people prosper on time, they say it is witchcraft. Build your first house at sixty They say, aha, that's how it is prosper twenty one? They say, who helped you? You went to meet a man? What kind of mentality do we have like this? Allelujah? I refuse to fail. No, but the sentiment should make you fail. And let me tell you, beware of people who sit down and debate over your life. Make sure it's not my life you are talking about, because my destiny depends. On me and God. Sit down and keep discussing. Discourse yourself, but not my life. Somebody learning now it takes courage to do well. You have heard me say, don't waste your time explaining anything when you're on the journey. Arrive and the results will do the explanation. Why are you praying every day? This kind of prayer? Ladies? I prayed like this so and they didn't have husband? Which kind of ladies? And to who did they pray and what kind of prayer are we together all this one that you are serving in the house of God? People sound like that and failed? Or which house of God? What was their understanding of service? Let's not mock God. God is a just God is a reward. That's her, a reward that's her? Are we together say reward? But there is a price. There is a price, the price. Of meekness, the price of sitting down and listening to people younger than you to teach you, the price of humbling yourself to say I do not know. Please teach me. I'm willing to learn the humility, to learn from children, to learn from subordinates, to learn from plants and animals. Because we are so desperate for growth and knowledge and increase that it doesn't matter who if God sends them, I will listen. Let me tell you this. One of the greatest miracles that can happen to us is the miracle of humility. Is the reason why many Nigerians don't increase. The moment we see greatness, we greet it with anger and resentment. Our hats are hardly meek and malleable Andelujah. We start bringing sentiments of age and the rest. Well you are not getting the results to someone learning. I am humbled every time as people travel from several nations. Van, you know Wherevan? What is? For an example, Van, what is an island? I think after extending after Australia or thereabout, I mean, that's the end. Of the world after that island. Whatever you see, you take it like that, literally the end of the earth. And there are people who travel from there and sometimes and it's not because of me. Honestly, I watch with shock and wonder. I said, what kind of pride is wrong with us? As fast us as leaders? Something is not working in your life so glaringly, so obvious. What does it take to just learn? Are you the first who want money? What does it take to just learn? It's a different thing if those who are serving it are not willing to serve it with humility. Please learn this from today. I'm going to give you a concluding thought, but I'm drumming it in your heart. Realize that there is a price. No body will pay your price for you. It is called your destiny, not our destiny, Your destiny, sir, your destiny. Oh God, I am married. Let this wound carry Jesus, do you know what Mary did I am Esther. Do you know what Esther did? There is a price to be called Esther. There is a price to be called Abraham. There is a price to be called Moses. There is a price to be called Elijah. I went together. Don't just call the name and claim it without the prize. Again, I pray for you, and it's from the depth of my heart that the grace from today, gentlemen, for your finances, the grace for ministry, the grace for leadership, to read the books, to go for the conference, to learn, to stay up at night, to burn the candles, to not criticize others. I release that grace upon you in the name of Jesus Christ. I am eternally grateful today for those who subsidize the price for this journey, because this. Price was so huge. If God left us to ourselves, is now will be attempting to pay little of it. But God, by his. Messy, made it very easy, very easy. My assignment over you in righteousness. Is to stay with God and as. Much as it can be subsidized for your destiny, to make it happen. And I can assure you that I will not fail in that one. But no matter what I do, it is up to you. Even if I bring the food and keep it in front of you, I can't eat it for you, sir, I can't eat it for you. Man, you are going to have to wash your hand or get your cutlery and get it into your system. Number four, The four thought will be my final thought tonight. A quick recap. We spoke on value as a quality that is derived to the degree to which we are invested in God's program. Number two spoke of impact as making your presence and your contribution towards people, things, and all of that leaving those things better. That impact is based on a giving mentality beyond a taking mentality. Number three that there is a price, and that price would demand that you look beyond yourself. And that no matter what kind of. Mentorship you receive, it can only subsidize the price. It will not take over the responsibility of making your destiny happen. Number four, I'm going to give you seven out of a list of twenty five and court tenants that have governed my life. There are twenty five foundational tenants that govern my life. But I will give you seven of those twenty five, and I guarantee you in the name of Jesus. Tenants talk about value system, mindsets, values that you live by. It is the values of a man that defines who that man becomes. I will just give you seven by way of summary, and then will pray. If you receive this, I all show you in the name of Jesus, you will watch your life change. You can reproduce. Yourself in orders by reproducing your values in them. Prays the name of the Lord. Seven anchor tenants number one. Practice love and reverence towards God perhaps nine ten June eight, twenty eight. Practice love and reverence towards God. What the Bible says, cause the fear of the Lord, that this must become an uncored tenant that you run your life by this rule. Practice love and reverence towards God perhaps nine and vers ten. It says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Reverence for God is the beginning of wisdom and. The knowledge of the Holy One that is truly. Understanding Job twenty eight twenty eight. Let's see what Job said. It's God blessing someone tonight twenty eight twenty eight. And onto man, He said, behold the fear of the Lord. That is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding. The first tenant. That champions those who desire to. Climb this ladder to accent heights. In the spirit, until they become great and glorious. You must practice love and reverence towards God. Number two, Practice gratitude as a life style. Practice gratitude as a lifestyle. Gratitude to God and gratitude to men. Let it not just be what you do, let it be how you leave. Practice gratitude as a lifestyle. First the Salonians five eighteen, First Thesalonians, chapter five and verse eighteen. In everything, give thanks in everything good, bad, Thank you Jesus. Nice, not so nice, thank you Jesus. Pleasant, unpleasant, thank you Jesus. Insulting, promoting, Thank you Jesus. It must be your disposition. Colossians three hundred fifteen also. Teaches us to be thankful. It says, I, let the peace of God rule your hearts to the which ye are also called in one body, and be ye thankful, thank you Jesus. I have lived by this principle. I assure you, by God it's so. It's an anchor tenant, thank you Jesus, whether things work the way I want or don't work the way I want. Thank you, Jesus. I give you thanks. Thank you Jesus. Someone shall thank you Jesus. Gratitude must be towards God, and gratitude. Must be towards men. I have taught you the miracle of gratitude that if you learn to be thankful, you keep scheduling seasons of favor. Always be mindful of the good that is done to you and respond to it with gratitude. Never take benevolence for granted. Never take it for granted, Never take it for granted. Allelujah. Woke up this morning with all kinds of gifts, gifts that I may never exhaust, gifts that I may not I mean all kinds of things, from animals to things, to all kinds of things, Allelujah, God's cows, whatever, all kinds of gifts. I can look and say, Okay, yeah, that's I mean, it's good. No, thank you. You have to thank people. Every time you are lavish in gratitude, you schedule the season for the next. Demonstration of benevolence. This is true towards man, man to man, and then God to man. Practice gratitude Number three. Practice humility as a lifestyle. Practice humility James chapter four six, and then ten. James Chapter four six. He giveth more grace, wherefore he saith. God resisted the proud, but give it grace to the humble. Verse ten. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, that he may lift you who lives men. No institution can lift a man, No individual can lift a man. God walks through man. But he comes. It comes from him first, bitter five to five. Practice humility. If there's anything I want you to carry, and it is, it's one of the signature of graces in this ministry. Don't just receive wisdom disgrace called favor and leaves humility. There is a grace for humility, and. There is a part of humility that is a mentality. It's not just an importation allelujah. Likewise, you younger, submit yourself to the elder. Yeah, all of you will be subject to one another, it says, and be clothed. With what weigh it like a gament. It's impossible to look at you and not see the cloth you're wearing. I can know if it's corporate, if it's traditional, if it's a spot where or whatever it is. You cannot say you are humble. I'm humble, bo. It's only God that knows you are lying, sir. You are lying, sir. Humility is a gament you can wait and everyone can know. Many people are simple, but they are not humble. Prohabs twenty two hundreds four. Practice humility as your lifestyle. By humility and the fear of the Lord, watch this, those who want to prosper. Here is one formula that connects to Kingdom Weald. By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life. The humility to learn. The humility to seek for mentorship, the humility to ask questions and listen. Listen to learn, not to contribute. Probabs sixteen eighteen. Practice humility as your lifestyle because pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit and over estimation of self, a houghty spirit before a fall. You're not fall. Shout a man like you're receiving and call tenants number four. Are you learning? Never stop learning and growing, Never stop learning and growing. In my world with God and in my destiny philosophy, there's no such thing as an arrival mentality. No arrival is a relative statement. You have a right at this level, but there are still heights to climb. I think I gave an illustration one time while teaching here that if you get into, say a hotel that has say two hundred rooms, and you are at you enter a lift and you get to say level eighty four, level eighty four is not level zero, but it is also not level two hundred. And in most you know. Great five star hotels that are built skyscrapers. Most times the restaurant is at the highest floor. That means you are away from noise, but you know it. Are we together? You are away from you won't hear the sound of anything, but if it is. You want to get to a point where you sit and ride upon your high places, you must press for that for someone you have left the ground. But God sent me to announce you. You are not yet at the topmost top. Are we together? Now? Maybe you at level fifty, well done, There's still one fifty to go. You at one fifty, there is still fifty to go. Even if you are one hundred and ninety nine, there's still one. Room to go. If you lived spoils at just one step. It can lock you in there, and if God does not rescue you, you can die. There. Am I right on that? Please join me in. This dissatisfaction about Plat two in you will never find me Plat two. I celebrate myself and. Things, but once I celebrate a level, that's it there. I am aware that overst celebrating a current level, it's not healthy. I'm amazed that Jesus resurrects from the dead and does not even have time to keep talking and drumming the fact that you know I died and no, no, no, no no, you went straight to the next business. If salvation happened, well, but the disciples were not prepared for Pentecost, it would be true that Jesus died, but the good news will not spread around. When he got up, he. Knew that part one of the job was done, but part two, which was important, getting that gospel to the ends of the earth, the first fruit. Those who would be doing that job he needed to finish their training, and he did not allow his victory over death, hell and the grave to distract him. If I'm Jesus and I rise from the dead, I would celebrate it for ten years first. Ten years. Every year there will be a ceremony how I defeated Satan hell and then afterwards I was okay, So. Now all of this you see that. But while you are doing that celebration the first fruit, all those who will be there, Satan will attack them one by one and destroy them. He attacked Peter, James and John. You see that now. But Jesus, as soon as he resurrected, he. Went straight, showed himself, as Paul. Would say, five red orders who saw him, and got them to the upper room. Taught them on the things that. Pertain to the kingdom for forty days non stop. Afterwards, he said, now you're tarry, the Holy. Goos is coming. Never stop learning proverabs one five. A wise man will increase in learning. A wise man will hear and will increase in learning. How do you know the wise? They are passion for more. They are passion for more. They are passion for more. First contern Chapter eight and verse two. I quoted that earlier. He said, if any man think that he. Knowed anything, he know it nothing yet as he ought to know. I submit to you that there are many things I don't know, and I'm not just trying to be humble. It's the truth. There are dimensions of leadership, organization, spiritual levels, but this of knowledge and revelation that are responsible for the next dimension that I've not seen or I've not seen clearly. So while we dish. Out the ones that we have, that we have seen, that we have handled, we are also students learning to move at a higher height. You know, electurer can be bought a students an electurer. He can be lecturing in the college and then. At the same time he's a postgraduate student. Hallelujah. Number five. Never outgrow the need to be guided, Never outgrow the need for guidance. Never outgrow the. Need to be guided some twenty five and verse nine. Never outgrow the need to be guided. Let's read it together. I just felt we should read twenty five and verse nine, and then I'll repeat myself, so you're right one to go. The meeck will he guide in judgment? And the meek will he teach his way? Who will he teach his judgment and his way? The meck not the seeking. You can seek it, but if it's in pride, you will not find it. The meek will he guide in judgment and the mick. Will he teach his ways Probabs Chapter three, five and six. In all your ways, acknowledge him. And he shall direct your path. Trust in a lot with all your heart, and lean onto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will direct your path. I think his asks Chapter eight from verse thirty and thirty one asks Chapter eight, the utopian, You know that story is so instructive. How many of you know that that man was an excellent man? The man was, He was not a small man at all. He had his chariots, and the Bible says, And Philip ran hither to him and heard him read prophect Desiahs. And Philip told him, understanders what thou readers? His response is a lesson? And said, how. Can I, even though I'm an utopian eunuch, how can I accept some man should guide me, not just some God. Some man. In other words, I. Admit that even though you know the finest of them, but I need somebody to guide me. Seeking for guidance does not reduce your status. Never outgrow the need to be guided. In the presence of guidance, in the presence of council. Have things that dissolved in a moment. Mountains look like stones. You see that now Number six. Practice honor as a lifestyle. First some well. Chapter two hun verse thirty. Honor to God and honor to men. Practice honor as a lifestyle. Practice honor. Wherefore the Lord God of Israel said, I said, indeed that thy house and the house of thy father should walk before me forever. But now the Lord say it be far from me. For them that honor me, I will honor them that honor me, I will honor, and they that despise me, I will lightly esteem. Romance, Chapter thirteen and verse seven. Let's read from NIV Romans thirteen and verse seven. Can we read from NIV? Everyone? Please read one to go. Give everyone what you owe him. If you owe taxes, pay taxes. If revenue, then revenue, If respect, then respect, If honor. Then. Hallelujah. Honor us a lifestyle. First Bitter, Chapter two and verse seven. First Bitter, Chapter two and verse seven. I hope I got that right. There's something I'm looking for. No, no, no, I'm looking for a scripture. Peter put a rendition. I wanted to use it to make a statement. But let me make the statement anyway, Please look at this and learn. Never fight a man you want or not publicly. This is a powerfulnessing never or a man you wants. You may never fight a man you want or not publicly. You know why you bring reproach on your own person. Never fight a man you want or not publicly. It's a very powerful principle. That you once honor a man and you fought that man. Nobody will trust you again because of your inconsistency in character. Now look up, let me teach you something. Pay is a revealer of the authenticity of honor. Disappointment is a revealer of the authenticity of honor. Are you learning now? If pain makes you change your disposition towards people who bless you, you will never truly honor them. Who is learning? Now? These are profound tenants that I live by. No matter what happens in this life. Even if the fathers of Faith, for an example, looked at me today and put the public statement and say Body of Christ were announcing to you officially that a personally is the most stupid man of God in Nigeria, I would respect them to their grade. And even when they're gone, I will not open my mouth and say anything. It is amazing how people say hosannat one moment and then they turn and say crucify him with the same mouth. You will never be trusted in your entire life. Are we together? Yes, it's true. It's a powerful leadership principle. H I wish we had time would have learned. From David and soul. Saul was a man. Who was angry at David palpably. He was angry envious through a javelin to pin David to the wall. David ran away twice. David had an opportunity to kill him. One time he was sleeping and David's a said, please. It's not you that would do it. Just give me permission to pin this man to the ground so he does not wake up. And he rebuked him. He's still calling the lords annointed, even though oil had been poured upon his head. Allelujah. I have profound regard for consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Boss helped you. Your boss built you. And only because he now sacked you from the walk, you go about saying it's lem it. It's just that I didn't say that man is a stupid man. He's a selfish man. He does not even pay us. And maybe you are right, but nobody who really wants a great destiny to employ you because you are a risk. You have already demonstrated that you cannot be trusted. Are wing together. Yes, this is profound, very profound. Did you ever read a very scary scripture in the Bible that God shall see the traveil of Jesus's soul and shall be satisfied. How can a father see the travail of his son even though he knew. If you are a father. And you see your son although you know, that is the plan of salvation. The kind of pain Jesus was going through. Job went through that same kind of pain or a similar thing, and the wife said, this is not worth it. The God who allows you to go to this pain should not be worshiped. Cost God and die. He said, why do you speak like one of these foolish women? Job said, all the days of my appointed time, he refused to sin against God with his words. It's somebody learning now this. I here a few table principles. I counsel people who were treated badly in their place of work. I mean it was a dishumanizing treatment their buses were clearly. They were almost demonic, and they were angry and furious. And I told him, I said, listen, you have gone through this now, or don't forget. You are building your own destiny other people who come from that destiny. Don't let somebody. Insulting you make you stop sowing good seeds on your own ground, because you will read what you sow, not what they want you to sow. Are we together? There is a profound lesson. Provide that God tell you grace to receive contribution, whether from parents, whether from loved ones, wether from spouse, whatever it is. I remember one very touching case, touching case two people who sadly and very painfully, it was very obvious their marriage was not going to work again, you know, very painfully. I got involved in the issue and did the best. It was very clear. But even at that the man made a profound statement. I'm not an advocate of divorce, but the man made a statement. He said, listen, it's sad that this thing is not working, but eternally I would. Respect this woman. I was going to say, so what I mean this is this is already the seat. For the thing to come back. But it was already you know the legal the court had taken his thing. But he made up his mind, and I said, okay, maybe what. You need his deliverance. Because I see a disposition that whonotes responsibility. We need to investigate why this thing did not work. Are we together? You find two people who say they're in love. For an example, they're in a relationship. Suddenly it does not work, and they become enemies of themselves. They never love themselves, They love their. Destinies through one another. Are we together? When there is genuine honor, Even when there is no more connection, honor remains, never departs. If somebody learning. Now this is not whether for ministers, whether for bosses. It's a principle that makes you. Look like a fool, but you will look like a winner all the time. All the time. Honor. It's a powerful mystery. I have seen this thing work. One does in my life, work wonders in my life. There are people I have acknowledged and are not publicly. It will never be out of my mouth to tear them down, to pull them down. No ministries, people, no, never ever, That's not my assignment. It's not what God gave me. I'm a builder. Not a destroyer. I went together. My confidant is that life is a seed. If someone sows a wrong seed in your life, they will reap their harvest, not your harvest. So allow the laws to walk You always hear me say. Loss are warriors. They fight viciously. Don't fight the battle. The laws should fight a possible People dishonor me, don't worry, don't worry. There is a principle on ground. God is a rewarder. I went together a post why I served this person and they did not say to me the person drove me away and just left me like that. And I hate this No no, no, no, no no no no. No. Saying you hate that person destroys your testimony. The beauty of your testimony is that you were ill treated and yet you're food strong. That's what makes you nobling character. If the pressure pushed you, then. It means you are not worth celebrating. Is the same power that makes people say you are truly exceptional. Somebody learning. Make sure your practice of honor is non pretentious. Don't talk with two sides of your mouth. No, don't honor God and cost him. Don't honor men and cost them. The birds of the air. Hear your conversation, and they regicide in the spirit, and in a mysterious way. You will wonder why things are not working in your life. The Bible said, he you will restore the fathers to the sons, and the sons to the fathers. Lest I send a curse upon the earth. As a personal principle, I have a profound respect for elders. It's a principle. As a personal principle, I have a profound respect for anyone who names the name of Christ in ministry. I have profound respect for those producing results. Honor all men, then honor the King, sir. Receive grace to practice honor as a lifestyle. Can I tell you if you talk against someone in the secret and you come out and say yes, sir, your energy will betray you. There is an energy that shows that no, it's not coming from a pure heart. There is a conversation that happens. We used to have an inscription in my family house growing up. It says Christ is the head of this home. The unseen guests at every meal. I like the third part, the silent listener to every conversation. Don't think you were talking alone. The God of justice was listening to you as you mocked the people that built you, as you insulted the fathers of faith and came out and said, oh, we love them. As you insulted all the people who are wealthy, and then you go on and say, God, God bless me too, as you insulted mega churches, and they said, ah. God, I admitt to I will grow. No, sir, you cannot grow into what you have resented. This honor is like a pad lock that closes a door. Honor is like a key that opens that door. Prays the name of the Lord, hallelujah. Every once in a while I still meet people who contributed in various ways significantly to my life and my spiritual upbringing, and where God grants an opportunity for us to meet now in the position that others would be called an elevated position. Sometimes we stumble parts at the airport. Sometimes we meet in programs. And just when they want to announce that you know, I said no, no, no, no, no no. Please. The fact that once upon a time you reached out your hands and it was through your hands I got to disposition in whatever way, no matter how lifted I am. You deserved my honor eternally. Many years ago, he went to preach somewhere and doctor David A. Worthy did something that tauched me. It was his session to preach. And while he was going to preach, there was a woman who those days before her husband died. She used to be a profound woman of God. And the husband they did a lot of great things I think nineties, you know, and all of that before the husband passed on. And he was about to preach, and he saw the woman and he said, mom, is this you? He dropped the mic and prostrated flat on the floor. He's a nebbleman, not a Eurobaman, but he prostrated flat on the ground and. Greeted and said quickly, please give. Me what you know he said, and dropped something before he continued. And it happened to be that I was going to meet with a woman after the program because. The woman wanted to see me. I won't tell you what me I did, but I would be a fool to have gone to hand just counsel. As a young man. A woman of faith once did something to me many years ago. I went somewhere and said, somebody wanted to see me. And then knocked my door and I saw her break woman, and she said, Apostle, you've impacted me, you've impacted my children. I just brought a seat and she got down her knees. I got down my knee said no, no, no, no, Please pray for me. I said, it doesn't change anything. Moment that you're on your knees, I would be stupid to. Still be on my feet. I know you very well. You may not know me, but I knew what your husband was doing before he died. I would not let you kneel. Down before me, and since you have refused to stand, I will kneel to It's not pretend. So don't let foolish people tell you you're just playing games. That's why they don't go anywhere. I said, that's why they don't go anywhere, because God is not stupid. Allelujah. Even if it's inside an aircraft. I turn and I see somebody that is worth my honor there, and then I will. Wait till we land. If I have access, I will honor them and greet them. Oh, sir, I used to remember you. You are a reverend, and so so churche. It's true. I listen to you those days. Please, sir, may God bless you have a seen you practice it as a lifestyle. Practice is as a lifestyle. When I saw her mother here, I paused and acknowledged her eternally. Anywhere you see this woman of God, anywhere you see this moment, please bless her for me. I'm saying it openly. Bless her for me. I can't begin to tell you the stories. Passal Jackson Yre. You will tell you. I mean, she will carry us and take care of us. This is when the nations did not know us. And that's the point. Never be too big that you are embarrassed who acknowledge those who helped you. It does not reduce you. Hallelujah. It does not reduce you. But their son passed here. He did something that really touched me. He came in from It was the one who carried and I'm just saying it to embarrassing a bit. He came in from Warren carried a cow. They just told me that. I said, this guy again, I said, I told you were here? Was it how many weeks ago? What are you still doing here? He said? He came. I said, are you going? He said, no, I'm waiting for the bed, I said, for what he now told me? He said, General assembly, Can I start discussing? What can you do? He want some mobilized people in the east. I sent him a text and I'm saying it here. I said, because you have done this, may God raise sons who will honor you forever. Let me tell you this. One of the greatest prayers. Listen, one of the greatest prayer to pray for a man is the way you treat others. May God raise people to treat you that way. Is that not a good prayer? Because if you treated people, why are you so? I mean why, why is the prier that the way you treat for me? I would say, amen to that prayer. But if you have not treated people, well, shout. Messy, yeah, hallelujah. I learned this from a man of God many years He was in a person's conference. He said, when he was praying for his son to leave. He said, everything you did to me, kneel down. May God raise people to do it to you. That means, if you love me, if you pour water on my hands, if you took care of me, if you food by me, may God raise people to do the same thing. But if you tore me down and cost. Me pain, he says, sid That's why I say, child messy, don't worry for your days of ignorance. God, God forgives you. God forgives you. Allelujah. Some of you who said all kinds of things against everybody, you just see them and call the names of men of God and debate and tear them down. And when you finish, you say, okay. God my deacy, and God says you're joking. They ever teach you how destiny happens? Whose child is this? And you are insulting the child. Look how the child is dressed. And you don't have your child yet. You're not even married yet, nobody has even't come to your life for a relationship yet, and you're insulting another person's child. And then when you finish, you believe your position. No, sir, you. Are not saying you are covered. This honor has covered you. I mean what I'm saying. You tear down people's marriages and you want peace in your own marriage. How are you going to get that kind of thing? Look at the way the man is treating the woman's a shame on them. You are not married though, are you are commenting, save Johnny, Well. This is my birthday. He will take what the enemy man. For read and you turn it for. You'll turn it for the. And praying messy over you. Now he will take what the enemy for it, turn it. Let me give you number seven. Then we pray. Walk in love. Walk in love. Seven anchor tenants out of the twenty five that have changed my life. Practice love and reverence towards God. Practice gratitude as a lifestyle. Gratitude to God and gratitude to men. Practice humility as a lifestyle. Number three. Never stop learning, never stop growing. Number five, never outgrow the need to be guided. Seek guidance from God, from men, from materials. Practice honor as a lifestyle. If I were you writing, I would start that statement that thing about honor. We can do a night vigil on this subject of honor. Honor is a lift, It's not even a ladder. It has a fearful way of exalting a man. Finally, work in love. Working in love is a very complex statement. Romance, chapter twelve. I believe as ten. As a scripture that just came to my spirit. Romans twelfth ten. He said, be kindly, affection or affectionate one to another with broaderly love in honor. Preferring one another, preferring one another love. Genuine love will demand forgiveness. Genuine love will demand tolerance. I've totally the difference between forgiveness and tolerance. You remember, forgiveness means to grant pardon to a defaulter, but tolerance means to build a system of accommodation around a weakness and a limitation because. It will happen again and again and again. Allelujah. The example I use that there was if a noisy person tells you sorry, I I will stop it. The person does not need forgiveness. The person needs tolerance because that knows you will hear it again. Allelujah. Let me conclude this way. Men are not just exceptional. Listen to my message. Victorious by choice, Victorious by choice. Men do not just become great because God wants them great. Men do not just excel. Because it's in their destiny to excel. These are the ladders that they climb. And let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen. If the ladder, say, for an example, has twelve steps, others are fortunately born maybe at step four already their parents already provide that leverage. But no body is. Born at the highest height by default. Others are born by the wayside. They have to even locate where that ladder is and then start climbing. Orders are derailed away from that ladder that leads to greatness, and they keep reading my rolling and galivanting around destiny. And after many years and many decades, they finally find their footing. But sometimes it is almost too late. Now I tell you this. Old people don't have time, but they have experience aggregated to pain through mistakes, through wrong thinking. Young people have time, but they seldom have the knowledge to maximize and to invest in that time. Services like this attempt to create a breage, to bring the experience of the old and take advantage of the time of the young, so that you are able to make maximum progress. I preached the message years ago called the rich young Ruler. It's a powerful message, the rich dash young dash ruler. Very few people can have that title. That you are rich reach by every standard of definition. Then you are young, meaning you had dominion over time. Then you have authority. Most times it is old, and then may be rich, and then you're not a ruler or you are a ruler by fraud, and then you are not. Young and all of that. But there was a man who was rich, rich on to God rich in Destiny. He was young, meaning he maximizes time. He was a reflection of the quality of his decisions, and he was a ruler who allowed him to have influence over them at such a young age. A man can be rich, can. Be young and have authority. That's God's best for you. For someone here, you may be saying a person, I have time, I'm still young, but there's so much I don't know. That's where the House of God comes in to give you knowledge. For someone you may be saying, I've spent my days. I'm fifty, I'm sixty, perhaps seventeen. I have a lot of experiences, but I don't know if I have the time. Ask Abraham, there's always time to amend your ways. I celebrate my birthdays every year in an atmosphere of deep and sober reflection. First grateful to God for being alive. Second, grateful to God for being a child of God. And then number three, to be trusted with a part of God's prophetic program for the nations. And then if I will add any for the privilege of tasting what it means to live a victorious life and impactful life, a life of purpose. Admiting this year was no different. I just spent my time. In gratitude to God as I reflected through the last one year of my life. And I've not achieved everything yet. I desire to achieve for myself, for my assignment, and for the nations. But I'm grateful to God for how far He's brought me. And I wrapped up my meeting with a conclusion and a de xamination, obtaining grace from God to press forward. I borrow from the words of Paul, and I'll conclude with it. This one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind me and reaching forth for the things that are before me, is that I press towards the mack of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, I press. I leave you with a final word, press, Press for greater height, spiritually, press for greater levels. In destiny, it's a ladder. Don't stop. The ladder leads somewhere. Don't just climb and stop there until you get to that place called destiny. Never stop. It is my desire. Collinonial Global and the body of Christ that as you have celebrated me, for which I am deeply. And profoundly grateful. That this day will not just be the celebration of a celebrit Brittish day. No, that's not the goal. The man you see today standing before you was raised by God as a sign and a wonder to show the possibilities what God can do with men when they are foolish enough to believe Him, when they are foolish enough to be yielded. You may not know what step to take from now, or you can stand by being yielded. He said, Lord, I don't know where we are going. I have no idea about my destiny. But I want to leave this place knowing that I trust you. I trust you with my life, I trust you with my days, and. This is my confidence. If I can get you. To that point tonight, then it was a birdday, wife celebrating worth, celebrating. All my days on earth. I will wait the moment that I see you face to face. For nothing in this world and sad is fine. Jesus, your the cop that will run dry, that's in that party game all my days, SDA, I will await this moment that I see you face to face. For nothing in this world said is fine. Jesus, You're the cop that Jesus, You're the cop. That will be run frie. Yes, you are the coup that will run rive. Jesus, your the coup that will run fried. Jesus, your the cop that God run dry. So who is like you Lord in not ear much less love and be and less fun. Nothing in this world said it's fun. Jesus your cap allelujah. If you are able to want you to just pray for yourself in one minute. Laura will not fail in life. I will not fail in life. I may have come from a background that is not the best, but. I choose this day to be victorious. Please left your voice and pray. I didn't just come to celebrate a man's birthday. I didn't just come to honor a special service. I came to be stretched that I can be valuable. I can live an impactful life. And that happens by working. And keeping with tenants and principles, then obtaining grace from God, the one who helps men. Please pray, she. Esus your the car, peplendra, she uses your the car. Go ahead and pray. The next five minutes will be a prophetic time. I want to speak over your life, but left your voice and pray. Bring before him your fears, your fears, your doubt, your uncertainties, lifted before him, your questions, your confusions. Declare that you need is help him this season. Maybe for someone. Your cry is for more of his presence. There's nothing like. Your presence, Lord, All I want. There's nothing like your presence. Lord All. I want to be with you. There's nothing like your presence. Lord All. I want to. Be with you. That's nothing like your presence. Lord wants me. Last prayer. Lord, show me the way that leads to the destiny you have designed for me. Open my eyes. I'm tired of confusion. I'm tired of living life my own way a pretch. I pray show me the way to a glorious ministry, The way to a glorious destiny, the way to power, the way to influence, the way to victory, the way to activating the blessing. Pray shot back Abacca Brancat talks the way to signs and wonders. The way to commanding the attention of a generation for the sake of your purposes, The way to rise the highest heights in life. In Jesus' name, we pray. In Jesus' name, we pray. Let me tell you something we're about to pray. I have seen God help people, but I know what it means to be helped by God. I've seen what it means for God to invest grace. On people, but I know what it means to be atword of divine possibilities. I've seen what it means for God to prosper people, but I know what it means to have obtained. Messy from God. I've seen. People command their times of a generation, but I know what it means for God to help a man and to tell a generation. Here ye hear tonight. At the risk of sounding arrogance, the man talking to you is not in ignorance. We have not gotten everything yet, but there are some things in righteousness we have laid hold on, and now we are going to pray further everything. Every grace that is needed for the next level of my life. Every grace. If it is wisdom that brings me before kings, if it is power that brings me to a point of value and desirability, I cry unto you, Let. It rest upon me. Please lift your voice. This is a very prophetic moment, those of you who are praying men of God. When God brings grace to a man, it is so that the body can benefit. When God helps a man, it is so that the body can benefit. There is nothing God gives that is for that man. Out of the little, the small oil that God has placed on this head, you can receive something that would redefine your possibilities. Someone go ahead and pray. Please pray. Salvation belongs to the one who sees on the throne and onto the lane. Salve shall belong to the one who sees on the throne head on to the life. Salvation be loss to who tun to the last something. Shot below, shot shot the long shot. Shot I got back, so shot my wist Moga haven't stayed. So it's at the same order.

It is God who advanced most. Is an error. In the name of Jesus. Please listen to me, my brothers, and my sisters. You don't just become wise. No, you are a grace with wisdom. You don't just become favored. The grace can. Rest on a man. You don't just find access to revelation. The eyes of your understanding are opened so that you will see. You don't just walk in the anointing and authority. No God opens you to the mysteries of power and authority. You don't just advance. It is the Lord that moves you forward. You don't just pay. It is a lord that keeps you. You don't just prosper. It is a lord that teaches you to profit. He's the one who shows you the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places, every grace you have seen.

Pray for your ministry, Pray for your vision. Pray that the mess of God will never depart from you. Salabadakata. My family can be delivered from calamity. I came from a family that's not seen and not known, but I can find my way out by graves. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, this man who stands before you, I'm not much by myself, no, not much, But when God decides to rest upon you. I listened to Renard Bunk many years ago. He said, the mother zeros, when you put one in front of it, it suddenly carries weight. He said. The things you see me do is because I am a big zero. And then when God came as. One, I was not just ten. I was not just twenty. The man who was five zeros, when you put one there, it becomes ten thousand. Some of us, maybe on our own, would have been plenty zeros. But it came by messy and rested as that one and produce something that is giving his name praise. Tonight, I want to speak over your life. This is truly the way I know to celebrate birth. This you don't have to need, just received from the depth of your heart. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you first and foremost for this day and. This opportunity to plant a seed of transformation. In the heart of your people. I have taught them the things that you have taught me.

We cannot end a bed day celebration like this without the altar call allelujah. Our time is first spent, but please allow me. We are celebrating all those who were born. I forgot to tell you that that birth is not just medical birth alone, biological birth or even spiritual birth. Allelujah. There are babies who were born from this morning till now, but there are others who will be born right now. And for these ones who are saying, Apostle, I was invited to come and celebrate with you. I've been blessed from your teachings, but I've not really truly made Jesus lord of my life. But on hearing you speak on matters. Of value and impact and the anchor tenants that drive your life to victory and greatness, I saw that immediately. I've fallen short. I'm wanting in many areas, and I want to make it right. Give me the honor is the greatest birthday gift I believe to be able to present. This man has trophies to his majesty. The reason why I leave. So you are in this place, and you are saying, Apostle, don't end this celebration service without giving me an opportunity to make it right with Jesus. This is why you came.
