Opening Destiny Doors Through Relationships Koinonia Abuja with Apostle JoshuaSelman(1)

It is in your light that we see light. Someone lift up your voice and give God quality thanks tonight. Lord, We thank you, Lord, We thank you. Someone gives thanks, give him thanks, give him thanks.

Then, faun that. Lift your hands, if your voice unless worship you. Tonight my money come out, yeah, come out to chakra t come alato scum and never lequus yata shakra taste stuck a negative alasta.

Yeah, yes, boy, come. Back Babo money, come out. Come sunny notes. I cracked up a little safer. Father, we declare that there is no one like you. There is none that can stand beside you. You stand as God all by yourself. We extol you and we worship you tonight. To him that do it one does be all the praise. Thank you for tonight. Thank you for the spirit of grace, the spirit of wisdom that is in our midst. We thank you because we know that you will do us good. Tonight be glorified for in Jesus' mighty name. We pray, Amen and Amen. God, bless you good evening, and please be seated. Allelujah. Your life will never rem in the same in Jesus' name. The Bible says they go from strength to strength as many as appear before the Lord in Zion. Strength to strength is the heritage of anyone who takes God and his house seriously. Allelujah. I really want to salute so many of us who are doggedly committed, especially over our spiritual growth. Spiritual growth is not a gift. You press with intention, You press with determination. You take advantage of the grace that has been given by God and from God. And you press. It says this one thing I do forgetting the things that are behind, I press Allelujah, praise the name of the Lord. And the second thing I wanted to know is that the House of God is not a museum. The House of God is not a cinema center. The House of God is more than a recreation center. So when you come to the House of God, you will be enlightened, you will be inspired. I believe in joy and gladness and fun, but it's important for you to know that the House of God is where God dwells. When you want to look for a man, you go to his house. Is that true? Yes, there is no guarantee that you will always find a man in his office. There is no guarantee that you will always find a man in another place, some institution. But there is every guarantee that if you are patient enough, no matter where that man would have gone to, you will eventually return home. Is that true? When you travel out of this nation for many of us who you know, your phone will show you different dates and timings. It will tell you details from your own time zone, and then it will tell you where you are and when you return home, it will let you know that you are back home. It knows when you come home. So the House of God is not just a place where believers converge. The House of God is where God has covenantd He said, this is my the psam is said, Now arise, o God, and come to your resting place. You want the aarc of your might that he covenant that he will be with them forever. Allelujah. The presence of God is what makes all the difference. Minors the presence of God. We're just making noise at best, just motivating and inspiring people. But the presence factor is what is responsible for life away together. And the Bible assures us, according to Some one thirty three that when we are gathered together, it says there the Lord hath commanded the blessing even life forevermore. That means in the presence of God, you expect to be healed, You expect to be lifted, you expect to be changed. Are we together that whilst you are seated and the world is coming is more than mental transformation. There is something happening to your spirit. Man, May that be your portion tonight in Jesus' name. So we go straight to the business of the night. There is a lot to deal with, and as always our request that you pay rapt attention. Jesus spake a parable about the world, and he said the souler when to sow. And we understand from his own interpretation that the word was and is the word of God seed now and as powerful as the world is. The Bible says it fell on four kinds of grounds. Do you know in studying the scripture the parable, I just want to botress on something and will get to the world. I've studied it many times in my life, but in my recent study I became amazed as to why the sower will give even a rocky ground. Any farmer, and any sower already knows that there are some soils that there is no need wasting your seed because they will not grow. Yet he gave every ground a chance. When you saw on rock and you sew on thorns, if you are truly a farmer, you should know nothing will come out. But so that he will not be charged with bias, he gave every soil a chance, even though it was clear that nothing would come out. That's God for you. Good ground, rocky ground, on tourns and teasels and gave all of them a chance. And the Bible clearly told us that some produced, others did not. And even among those that produced, there were three levels of harvest, thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundred. And speaking about the good ground, he said, there are those that here and understand. What makes your ground good is those that here and understand that the ones that fell on good ground were the ones who heard the world, and then they understood. Ali lujah, So we pray for the grace for the hearing here tonight. In the name of Jesus, God has declared to us that this is a year of open doors. I believe it with all my heart, and I'm glad and I rejoice exceedingly in my spirit that many are already experiencing the wave of this prophetic world. The world most speak clearly in your life this year. If you believe that, shout a louder amen. So look. Chapter eleven will continue our discussion we're discussing. We started last week discussing exceeding great and prescious promises. The goal was to open us up to the power of the promises that have been made available to the believer in Christ and remember I taught you at the first service that when it has to do with opening doors, please pay attention that the Bible gives us three three platforms for opening closed doors. Number one is the use of the right or the correct key, not just keys. You can use a wrong key, the door would still not open. And we understand from scripture that keys refer to knowledge. Are we together? Two the art of knocking Matthew seven, seven and eight, as it says, and you shall it shall be given to you sick, and you shall find knock, it says, and need shall be open onto you. For the law in verse eight says every one that knocked it shall be open. So one of the ways that doors are open is through the art of knocking, and that you must understand what it takes to be able to knock a door away. Together, there are doors that you may not have the keys to. You will need to knock for that door to be open. And then number three, we said, the use of force, the supernatural and the power of God. What I want to share with you tonight. I have watched it lift people from literally nothing and brought them to positions of grace and power. I have also watched the neglect of what you're about to learn, take people from grace, as it were, to grasp the purpose of the teaching of the world of God is to give us wisdom at the end of any spiritual discussion. If you do not have wisdom, then it was not the world. Remember the Bible says that was the true light that lighted every man. That means there are false lights. They carry a zemblance of victory, they carry a zemblance of liberty, but you find out that upon engaging them in real life, they do not produce any results. May you not waste your time chasing shadows in the name of Jesus Christ. May you not waste your time acquiring a lot of useless spiritual information only to find out that they are impotent to deliver that the truths that you find and keep, may they be truths. Indeed, And the only way you know the truth, or the only way you know what is real, is when you test it in real life situation. So pay attention tonight, and God is going to be showing us how to knock, because there are many doors that stand before us right now, and we must know how it is. That meant those who know how to knock doors will keep flipping doors open from one dimension to the other. But those who do not understand this can stand stagnated in front of cheap doors, sometimes even for many years. Every door that has refused to open, perhaps the door that stands before you, you do not even have access to the key made the mystery. You will be learning tonight cause that door to swing open for you. In the name of Jesus Christ. Opening destiny doors through relationships, Opening destiny doors through relationships, Opening destiny doors through relationships. Let's go to our text. Look eleven from verse five. Look eleven from verse five, Opening destiny doors through relationship. Addmost fear sheaft now change speed rock pray, Holy speed. Have open. Atmost feedstone, change ship ste. Pray to me and look eleven and five. And he said onto them, which of you shall have a friend, pay attention now, and shall go on to him at midnight and say onto him friend, lend me three loaves, uh huh, For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him. Follow the story carefully now verse seven, and he from within shall answer him and say, trouble me. Not the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give thee. Are you following the story? Now? I say unto you that though he will not rise to give him, but because because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needed. And then verse nine says, in this simplitude, ask and it shall be given to you sick, and you shall find knock, and it shall be open onto you. Last verse, for everyone that asked receiveth he that secret find it, and to him that knocked, it shall be opened. Let's go back to verse five, and let's begin to observe a few things. Number one, the Bible says, which of you shall have a friend? Everybody say, have a friend. So this issue of opening doors is among friends, not strangers. Are we together now? When the guy was in trouble, he did not run around. He went straight to his friend. He said, which of you shall have it friend? And go to him at midnight. That means only a friend can accommodate that level of inconvenience. You do not go to a stranger by midnight, he will arrest you. It is not usual to go and bother and destop people at midnight. But that there is an advantage that friendship provides that even at uncomfortable situations or uncomfortable circumstances, rules can be burned over. And the secret is that a friend. He said, which of you shall have a friend, and then go to that friend at midnight? Notice and say, unto him friend. The person in need did not call the one who he wanted him to help by his name. He invoked the relationship. He didn't say Joseph or Stephen, come out, He said friend. In other words, under normal circumstances, you should be offended. But I am reminding you that the platform of which I am making this demand is friendship. Lend me three loaves. I will learn him already verse six. Notice again that the purpose for his meeting his friend is to help honor another friend. Are we following now? There is a reason why the Bible is teaching us this. You know, when you read the Bible, you have to read by the spirit, otherwise you will not see anything there. It will be before you, yet you will not see it. A friend of mine. That means someone else too came to me. Is not my fault. Ordinary ordinarily is thinking I should be sleeping, but someone else inconvenienced me, and I had to bend over because of relationship. And so also I have come to you. This friend came from a journey unprepared, and he I don't have anything to give him, but because it's my friend, I will not drive him away. I opened the door of my house to him. But now I am stranded as a person, so I must do the same thing he did too. Are we following now? And then he went to his friend and he said, friend, sorry for disturbing you this night. Can you open the door for me? Verse seven, The Bible says, and he from within shall answer and say, trouble me. Not. Notice the guy we did never called him friend. He didn't recaprocate and say, oh, my friend, you're outside. No, no, no no. He was angry and said, no, please go away, trouble me not. The door is now shut and my children are with me. I cannot rise and give you. Now. Hear what Jesus says verse eight, I say, unto you door, He will not rise and give him because he is his friend. Leave the other things that he's talking about. That means there are two possibilities here one he can arise and give him because he's his friend. Is that true? And then number two he can arise because of importunity. The word importunity, there is the word persistence, persistence almost to the point of annoyance. Are we together now so that this dog can be opened through friendship? And because of friendship? Two more scriptures and then will begin to discourse. Relationships are very very powerful. In proverabs starting and twenty proverabs starting and twenty, the Bible says he that worked with wise men shall be wise. He never said he that is around wise men, he that worke ut with them? Are we together that you move as they move, it shall be wise. That means when the man started the journey, he was not wise. His friends were wise, but he was yet to be wise. His secret was that he chose to work with them, and the Bible says he shall be wise. That means you can predict the future of that person, even though at the point of beginning that journey the person may not yet be wise. But because he has chosen to keep a wise relationship, the Bible guarantees that he shall be wise. But a companion of fools. Now, we don't know whether that companion was wise before. We just know that the people around him were fools, and the Bible says he shall be destroyed because of it. Are wey together? Yes? In Matthew chapter four, verse nineteen, Jesus beckoned on the disciples, and he says, follow me, and I will make you. I will not make you when you stand from afar. I will not make you when you sit afar wishing. I will only make you when you follow me. Follow Me says that is the price for your making. I've taught you here in this house that destiny fulfillment. You may want to write this down. Destiny fulfillment and advancement is practically impossible without relationships and strategic connections. Destiny fulfillment and advancement is practically impossible without relationships and strategic connections. Let me take it one more time. Destiny fulfillment and advancement is practically impossible without relationships and strategic connections. Allelujah. So it is impossible to actualize destiny and to make constructive progress in your life ignoring these deep spiritual mystery. That is a mass tachy to opening doors relationships. Write this down, please. Relationships are bridges to an exceptional life. Bridges from the word bridge be r id ges. Relationships are bridges to an exceptional life, and relationships are also bridges to a life of pain and regret. Oh, I just supported past a king. God bless you such an honor to have you around. Let's give him a big God bless you, dear friend and brother. God bless you, sir, Thank you, Ali Lujah. Are we together? Relationships are bridges to an exceptional life. That means, from where you are looking at an exceptional life in Christ, a life of kingdom impact that the bridge that you have to cross to that realm are relationships and standing before for you and a life of pain and regret and destruction. There are also relationships. Relationships are bridges that lead to an exceptional life. Relationships are also bridges that lead to a life of pain and regret. Someone learning very very important information about relationships. Remember we stayed at first that destiny, fulfillment and advancement is practically impossible accept and unless through relationships and strategic connections. Now we're saying that relationships are bridges both to an exceptional life and a life of pain and regret. The last information I will give you here is that relationships are currencies. It's not new to us in this house, but please write it now with revelation. Relationships are currencies. Like you have. Dollars, you have pounds, you have nayra, and so on and so forth. Relationships are currencies. They can buy what money can buy, and they can buy what money cannot buy. Relationships are currencies. Please, in the name of Jesus Christ, listen. They can buy both what money can buy and where money stops, they can go further to buy what money cannot buy. For instance, money cannot buy you your salvation, but a relationship in this case with the Lord Jesus can make salvation a reality in your life. Let me announce to you first and foremost, dear people of God. You know by now. But it bears repeating again that money does not solve every problem. Are we together? I'm not downplaying the relevance of financial resources, but it is a rackon for you to find to believe it, Ellie, that money does not solve every problem a way together, Relationships are currencies. They are currencies, my goodness. They have high level purchasing power. They can buy what money can buy and they can also buy what money cannot buy. I have prayed a prayer for you many times in Cornonia. Let me pray it again, that may you never be so poor that all you have is money? Did you get the prayer? That may you never be so poor that the only thing you have in your life is money. Men have risen to enviable destinies from very more dest and so sometimes shameful backgrounds using the leverage of relationships. The Bible, ancient and modern history is full of the autobiography of ordinary men and women who did not have any comeliness to be desired. But the meandered across this mystery, and through the ladder and the lift of relationships, they rose to enviable positions spiritually, economically, sociologically, politically, and so on and so forth. And the Bible and even history is also full of men and women who neglected the power of this mystery of relationships. Some of them threw away relationships to look for money. Men like Judas is carry out and they lost boat. Judas had a relationship, and he threw away valuable relationship to pursue a lesser kind end of things money. At the end of it, you got the money, but now losing the relationship. The money did not benefit him, and he lost both. In fact, he lost everything, including his life. Are we together now? The easiest way to succeed in life and destiny is through relationships. This is a fact. The easiest way to succeed in life and destiny is through relationships. There are many factors that are there in the success equation, and all of them are useful and they have their place. But I can tell you a few of those factors come close to the excellency of understanding and engaging this mysterious key of relationships. Allelujah, are we learning already for someone? All that I've said alone has been the washing of the water, just delivering you. Because there are many people who all they see in their dreams while they're awake is money. Everything they see is money. They don't care who lives and who dies. The most important thing is let there be money. And we have this understanding that our entire life will magically be relevant when we have money. May not necessarily be so. Destinies are enhanced and glorified through relationships. My concern for tonight with respect to our discussion using relationships as tools to open doors. I want to discuss with you the tripathype dimension of relationships that must be at work in your life for doors to be open. This is a sub topic. This is the core point of discussion. There there are three threefold dimensions of really relationships that if you do not have in your life, there is no future for you as far as open doors are concerned. Number one, your relationship with God. Let's go very quickly. We have a lot to discourse. The first dimension of relationship you must focus on if you desire relationships to be a tool that opened the doors of destiny is your relationship with God. Matthew, Chapter twenty two. Please give us from verse thirty seven, we're reading to forty your relationship with God. In that order, Jesus said, unto them, thou shalt love the Lord thy God. Help me with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Next verse it says, then this is the first and great commandment. Thirty nine it says the second is like onto it, thou shall love thy neighbor as yourself. Forty Now on this tool hang all the law and the prophets that means every Lord that ever came by the prophets that dictates for the nation of Israel was to get them to achieve these two things, the love for God and the law for men. Are we together now? Your relationship with God? Provabs Chapter twenty three and verse twenty six, a scripture that has become an anthem in my own life. My son, it says, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my waist. This is God asking not just for your tithe, asking not just for your offering. No, asking not just for your membership. He's looking for your heart. Are we together now, my son says, give me your heart, and then let my eyes observe your waist. Second Chronicles, fifteen, Second Chronicles, Chapter fifteen, From verse twelve we're reading twelve to fifteen. The first dimension of relationship that makes for open doors as far as life and destiny is concerned, is your relationship with God. The Bible says, and they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their father's with all their heart and with all their mind. Verse thirteen that whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. Fourteen and they swear onto the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting and trumpets and corners the last verse. Now and all Judah rejoice at the oath. They bound themselves with an oath to seek the Lord. For they had sworn with all their heart and sort him with their whole desire is that in your Bible. And he was fond of them. What was the result? And the Lord gave them rest round about, not just because they were intellectually sound, not just because they were educationally advantaged or sociologically advantage. They had wealthy parents. The Bible says, they bound themselves corporately with an oath that we will seek the Lord, and that anybody that violates this, who puts that person to death, where that child, whether adult, whether male or female. That when God saw the seriousness of your heart to seek him with you everything, he gave them rest round about? Are we learning? Matthew nineteen twenty six. Very powerful scripture. I know you've read it, but I want you to look at it very carefully. But Jesus beheld them and said, unto them, with men, this is impossible, but with God. Everybody said, with God, there are things that are only with God. With God. With God, all things are possible. This is the implication of a healthy relationship with God. It defines the extent of the possibilities that you experience. Do not make a mistake of believing that just because you are saved, it means every possibility will manifest in your life automatically. Know every possibility should manifest as far as the finished work of christis concerned, but entering into the experience of it depends on a functional, ever growing relationship with God. Let me tell you the truth. There is nothing in this life. There is no one in this life. Please listen very carefully that should sustain the ability to take the place of God in your life and to interrupt your work with God. The body that succeeds to do that is the person you should worship, because that person has become God, and the jealousy of God will fight anything and anyone that stands his way, even if he's the one that gave you that blessing. I hope you know God can fight what he gave you. The moment what he gave you becomes an interruption to his place and his purposes in your life. It becomes his enemy. Just like Satan. God created Satan, and he still grants us the grace to perpetually defeative. It's not forgotten that Satan is his creation, but because Satan has assumed a position where he perpetually cannot bring joy to God again, even though God's creation, he does not secure God's support. Again, it's important for you to know that God does not just initiate processes. He vets them periodically to fight doubt that he's being glorified to them. And if he stops being glorified through those processes, he's backing cases except by the messy of God. So you will find many people being destroyed by what God gave them, and you'll be wondering, how could God give you a blessing that becomes a destruction soul. How could God make you a king and yet that position brings you shame and reproach again? How could you be the anointed chelow that covered a position God gave you, and yet your pride came as a result of that position. Just because God gave you does not mean it to automatically glorify him. You have to be intentional about using everything around your life to see that Jesus is glorified. Are we together? Now? Thou shall love the Lord your God. Please look up. There are many believers today who ignore the issue of having a healthy relationship with God. When you say it like this, most believers thing it is just a press into fanatism, and they say, you know what the way, meself, God, I'm not into all these Jim jim Christianity, but my own God knows that me. I'm serious. You can never fake seriousness. Seriousness is so palpable it should be known and detected, whether from afar and near. I'm not, I'm prayerful. It's just that it's only God that knows you are a liar. Immediately away together now, yes, sir. So many believers do not intend to take God seriously. They don't plan to throw him out of your lives, but they just want to keep him just at the minimum level enough to hopefully secure life after death in case like an insurance while they go around doing everything they want to do with their lives. And let me tell you the truth, ladies and gentlemen, if you want God to honor you, you want to command power and relevance in our world today in order of priority. This has nothing to do with Pentecostalism or whatever it is. You have to make up your mind. Please listen, carefully, make up your mind that you are going to go all out for God. Some of firs. When we started, we did not start with a desire for ministry. We did not start with a desire for fame. In fact, we did not start with a desire for greatness. This journey started from a blind and a sincere pursuit. Lord, I love you. It's an opportunity, and it's a privilege for me to be called your own. And while we pressed and gave God literally everything, he said, So this is how far you can go for me. Now let me show you how far I can go for you. Are we together do not convert the result of a genuine lover of God? If and when you are not Hmm, God, why are you doing this to so so so person, so so so, lady, so so so ministry? It is a reflection of the depth of their love for God. The Bible says, no eye has sin, are we still together, nor ear has heard, neither has it enterned into the heart of man what God has in store for them that love Him, not them that use Him, not them that use him for fame. Not does that use him to get publicity for ministry. Not those that use him and try and be massive lander into a great life. There are many men of God who do not love God. Clearly, so there are many church members who do not love God. There are many business people who do not love God. There are many people with Christian names who do not love God. There are biblical indices that show whether or not you love God. So it is not about blind assumption and saying I love him. He knows. You are the first. You are the street. You are the hung leave in deep inside of me. You are the food that side as fast. You are provision for the journey. Oh my life, you are listen when you say God, I love you, you know what is going to ask you. Let me see what you can give up for me. So be careful when you want to say God, I love you. We are used to fake love in this our wicked world that we think we can play that politics with God. You don't come to him just faking tears and say I love you. You can roll from left to right, from pillar to post. When you are done loving, he will tell you all right, Simon. But Jonah, love us down me more than this? Do you love me more than ministry? Do you love me more than titles? There are people who would throw God a way to protect ministry. There are people who would throw God a way to protect their ego. I am a man of God, a post to Joshua Selman. There are people who would throw God away if their money is falling down. They would throw God and hold the money and say, God, you are a miracle who work up rights back. But this money, if it falls, I don't know if it will come back again. There are people who would throw God away and say my pedigree I went to school, I read X y Z. Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, the men and the women, that God will do mighty things. Within today's world are people who are dead to every other thing. The prize for all of God is all of you. You've heard me say it, the price listen. The prize for all of God is more. You will need more than your brain for God to do business with you. The prize for God is more than English and preaching. Oh dear one, it takes more than good English to put a generation at the command of Heaven. We're discussing relationships. Now, allelujah, there are Valentinis two days now after now, there are many people whose lives are going to know dive. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but knows that they have not even stayed well with God. And they look forward. They are planning all kinds of things mine, not God. They've bought flowers, they bought they paid for the venue that they will use, and there is no God in that factor. God, I'm used to you interrupting my joy. Stand back when I need you outcome this one. Now, look, let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, it is the foolishness of loving God that brought us this far. Never get to a point where you become too intelligent, too western, to become that baby. Are we together? There are many people right now. It's pedigree and prestige that has come to a point where it has replaced God and pushed God out of their lives. You know when we started with poor people, no money, but now we're bilooneires, we're talking serious things. My phone can fold down my clothes, you know the amount. And while you talk all that nonsense, the realm of the spirit is watching you. The rich fool in one day came down. His life was even demanded from him. Ladies and gentlemen, please hear me. Your passion for God is not about fanatism, and it's not about being a preacher. Do not leave passion for God to just pastors and preachers, and save me. God has called me to entrepreneurship. He knows that I can't love him the way who told you that? Go and find out the people who love God as governmental figures like Daniel, as economists like Joseph. They were not preachers. Yet you could not argue your love for God. The question God is asking you right now is simon. But Jonah loves down me more than this, because the way many of us are pressing into life were ignoring God. Were just satisfied that at least I remember coming out for another call, and I don't care about anything spiritual. But if we begin to talk about money and business are rising. Now you are speaking my language. Some of you. Your love language is money. Repent Repent now listen, Please don't don't. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm serious here teaching. Are we together now? Repent? You are the first, You are the street. You are the ugly inside me. You are the food that's sad, that's fun. You are profish for the journey of my life. You are everything Allelujah. I would keep saying it for as long as I am alive. I would give up Coinonia and close it down a thousand times to maintain my relationship with God. Believe me, this is not just an empty talk that I'm saying on stage. Are we together? Something more than God? I've got something more than go, something more than God. I've got something go and go it all I have see Jesus, I've got something more than God. I will tell to the world. So the first dimension of relationship you want those who opened for you, it is with God. With God, the first dimension of relationship. And let me tell you this. You are here and you've not encountered the God of the Bible. When I make the altar call, I want you to run wherever you are. Just know that this is why Jesus brought you here. Give us John seventeen, verse three. He says, and this is eternal life that they may not the not that they may recite a prayer alone. This is eternal life that they may know the the only true God. I have searched and searched all the earth, searched and searched all the earth. And fam fay come out. I have searched and searched all the searched and searched all the fat That until you get to a point in your life, ladies and gentlemen, where God means everything to you. Your love and your passion for Jesus, your love and your passion for the things of the Spirit has consumed you, and it's at both every or that desire. Then you are not ready for the relationship that opens doors. There are men who will stand in an empty space, but because of their love for God, you will carry a door wherever it is, bring it in front of them and open it. That is how far he can go. I have loved you with an everlasting love, and I have drawn you with my love in kindness. It's time to return back to your love life. Thank God that this is a period that is celebrated world over. It's a period of love. Your first love is not your husband, it's not your wife, it's not your children. It was because of Him that they all arrived. Don't let their presence drive him.

It's time for your love for ministry to go behind the cross and never replace your love for Jesus. It's time for your love for fame and power, even though carrying the semblance of spirituality, to go behind the cross and to see Jesus a lord lifted as an expression of your love is to excel. Is time for your love and your desire for material things to move behind in the queue that nothing and no one should sustain your ability to take his place in your life. Oh, if I perish, let me perish loving you. If I go forward, let me go forward loving you. If I mag time, let me mack time loving you. If I rise, let me rise loving you.

When Jesus started with the disciples who would later be apostles of the Lamb, he called them and they became his disciples. But as that intimacy grew, many things started happening to them. One day Jesus said, I no longer call you brethren, but friends. Is that in your Bible? She was telling them something that you have skilled a height. You have demonstrated your love, You have survived a lot. Do you know what it means for God to give you a title called the friend of God? Who in the Bible had that name, and what followed the destiny that had that name, Abraham was called more than a prayer warrior, more than a fasting giant. It is a noble title for God to call you his friend, because in friendship there are no secrets. There is the opening of secrets. God, come back on on you. Shall I hide this from my friend Abraham. I can hide this from my creation, but not my friend Abraham. This is what I want to do. Let me give you a chance as a friend. And Abraham came not just as God's creation, but as a friend and said, hold on, since you have called me your friend, allow me to negotiate. I have an interest in Sodomon go Morah, someone who was my friend before, but allowed the question material things to drive him away because of that friendship. Remember, the guy in the room did not call him friend, but the one outside still said, for as long as there is one person still carrying that point of connection, he said, let me advocate for lot. Perhaps if there are fifty people, perhaps if there are forty people. That was a negotiation that was at the table of friendship. I am a friend of girl. I am a friend of girl. I am a friend of God. He calls me friend. I didn't call him more. I am a friend of How can I dare call him friend? The creator of the ends of the earth. But I am a friend. He calls me friend. So do not be surprised when you see the benefits of friendship following certain people do not. The Bible said, there is a friend that's ticked a loser. Hm, I hid this. I don't know who God is speaking to, but there are people here tonight. God is saying there is a deeper level of friendship. Come come, this nominal Christianity, this surfacing here and there, dealing with God like an idol, like a stranger, as if he says, strong, colt somewhere with self God, ASIVI. We are practicing idolatry. There is a functional relationship with proof. Come, come, Come, there is a river for you. Come. God is pushing someone. Come. There is a deeper dimension, more than just church, more than just nominal Christianity is a deeper dimension like a sec forty seven. Oh, there is a river. God is calling a man of God hold on about ministry and come deeper. You will be more effective when you become my friend.

You may need to rush and go for a retreat. God is speaking to you the destiny you are seen and the level of relationship you are giving God. You can't arrive there. That is not how a prophetic man too will land on you. That is not how an apostolic call will come. It's not by buying suits and sharing cards. No, there there are revers ladies and gentlemen. You have to dive deep into the river. Job said, there is a There is a path that no foul has seen. The webs of the lion has not gotten. There very deep dimensions of intimacy with God.

Our undane pursuit of things is eroding our passion for God gradually, especially this generation. With all due respect, it is amazing how incredibly distracted we are in pursuit of many things. I have learned from Scripture, I have learned from mentorship, from wisdom, and by experience that anything that claims to give you what only God can give you, just know that you are dealing with fraudulens. There any situation anyone who tells you he can give you what only God can give. There are things only God can give, He said, with God all things. No amount of publicity will bring increase to your ministry above and beyond the presence and your relationship with God. No amount of intellectual soundness will replace the impact of the world that comes at the instance of relationship. May God grant us grace to return in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Please be seated, Please be seated. So the first dimension of relationship is your relationship with God ever increasing hunger, passion, fire, love for spiritual things. Number two, what is the second dimension of relationship that is responsible for activating open doors as far as destiny and the purposes of God is concerned. Are you ready? Number two? Relationship with men. Relationship with God is number one. Number two, relationship with men. Some eight and verse one. The power of God is coming on four people. Some eight and verse one. Some eight and verse one. I saw the number four, and this is this is this is. It's not just you receiving breakthrough or this this is it is the cry of the spirit crying from within your spirit. God is still telling you I am still looking for you. I am still looking for you. That pursuit. Let's continue relationship with men Palm eight and verse one. Oh Lord, our God, pay attention. Now here comes a very deep mystery. How excellent is thy name in all the earth? He said, who has set thy glory above the heavens? Reading to verse six, out of the mouth of babes and suckling, thou hast ordained strength. Notice what is said, Oh Lord, our God, without any man, your name is already excellent, and yet as excellent as you are, there is something you are looking for that only men can give you, it says out of the mouth of Babes and SoC As excellent and powerful as you are, there is something that the ministry of men does to you. It says, thou hast ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou might just still the enemy and the avenger Verse three. When I consider the heavens, the Sami is speaking now the works of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained. Here is the part this scripture rattled me for many many years. What is man? Man never ask that question? They don't care what is in man? He said, what is man that thou art mindful of? You are already God by yourself. You are already all excellent, needing no support, needing no encouragement. You are not threatened by another kingdom and another force anywhere? But what is the Angel were perplexed, and the sam is speaking true by the spirit, What is man? The whole Bible is about your relationship with man. Why do you run around man as though you were vulnerable? What is man that thou wast mindful of? Him, not the son of Man that thou visitest him. Is it not an inconvenience for you, oh God, to leave heaven and come to the earth. What benefit you create it all you can create? And not the reality and igno this man? But what is it about this man that, in spite of his sin and deterioration his toubornness? You see the patterns God's people will experience abundance and plenty. They will deviate from the part of God. They will now be given to the hands of your enemies, and they will become slaves for many years, and without them crying to God in many regards. God himself will now send the profet to go and tell them I'm still interested in you, or you come back to me. The psam is worth contemplating, and said God, is it that there is something in man that we don't know? What is it about man? You make it look like without man you cannot be God? What is man? Here is how I read the scripture many times? What is in man that man himself does not know? Listen carefully, You're about to learn a very deep mystery. You want those to be opened. We have given God his place, But I must show you the mystery of men. That if you ignore this mystery, you can as well chain yourself and remain there, because there will be no motion in your life. Is a guarantee that I give you what is Man, that thou art mindful of him, and the son of Man, that thou should visit. In verse five, it says thou hast made him a little lower than bellow him the word angels, there is the word ello him. You have crowned him with glory and honor the same man. Six it says thou has made him to have dominion over the works of your hands. Is that in your Bible thou has put how many things? Say all things? Thou hast put all things under his feet? Isn't it amazing? You know, every time I have the opportunity of seeing great gadgets, aircraft, building materials, you see man building skyscrapers that are many, many times his height, and he's not threatened by it. Individuals who stand and say they want to build something that will almost reach the sky, and they will start building it from one block and one construction material, and they will actually do it. The wildness of animals on earth have been tamed by man Allelujah. I once watched the video. I can't even remember how I stumbled across it. A hungry and angry elephant just meandered around the road and some people were moving around. I think in the log Zero's boss, and they didn't give him anything, and it just went that knows, that looks like it's just is there's nothing there. When I saw what it did to that car, it flogged the car as though you are throwing a piece of paper, And I said, can you imagine how heavy this thing is? He stepped on water med lot like paper and crossed it into pieces one time, and yet man contain it? He said, what is man that you have put everything under his feet? Listen tearfully. God shows so much passion around man, but men do not know what is a man. That's why we keep losing. If God himself, the creator of the ends of the head, did not ignorem, God is not ashamed to show his vulnerability towards men. He would say things like I have loved you with an everlasting love, and I have drawn you with my loving kindness. God is in heaven. Yet he will tell you that there are many things I sought for a man. It's Qi twenty two, verse thirty. You would hear God make statements like that, and I sought for a man. Why will God be seeking for a man? He didn't say I called for a man. I sought, meaning as God. I kept moving from end to end looking for a man. If God is looking for men, you better look for men, because it means there is something in man. If the God of the heavens has not ignored men, I tell you, respectfully speaking, it is lack of wisdom for you to ignore men. We live in a world where we pride over self sufficiency. We live in a world where we are very embarrassed to acknowledge that were incapacitated and that it will take the impute of other people to make us whole and to make constructive progress. But here is God, the one who is complete el sha dyed, the multi breasted one who declares his vulnerability over man, God all by himself, and yet he will reach down to man to an extent that Jesus came and died not for himself for man. Seinless God, are we together. Let's look at a few scriptures Psalms one one five and verse sixteen. Someone is learning now one, one, five, sixteen. Let's read together, please, one to read the heaven. Even the heavens are the Lord Aha. But the earth hath he given to the children of men. Let me request that we readly one more time. One to go the heaven. Even the heavens are the lords. He gave the earth to the children of men. So who are the stewards of the earth? Now, man, get this revelation that the stewards of earth? Right now? Certain, listen to me. Certain does not own the earth. Satan is all only the god of the systems, not the earth. The power of Satan is derived from his partnership with man. Outside of man, Satan cannot wield dominion over the earth. It was not given to him. Are we together? Now? He controls the systems. The systems now control man, so it makes it look like he's controlling man. But he's the god of the systems. He designed an antichrist system that works upon the minds of man. But dominion was given to men. If you are not a man, you cannot have dominion on earth. Satan cannot have dominion on earth because he's not a man. I've taught you here. Remember, let them have dominion. Make reference with it that the condition for being a man is Number one, you must be a spirit. If you are not a spirit, you cannot be a man. Number two, that spirit must be hosted in a material body, and that body must be created from the elements that are consistent with this ecosystem. So there are other spirits with other spirit bodies from other dimensions. They cannot be called men because their bodies were not source from the earth. Are we together? Now? That is why Satan and every other spirit has to depend on man. For as long as there is one man on earth who is under the influence of this software beyond the thinking pattern of this age, it now strengthens Satan and he can look like he has dominion over man. But you need to understand this. God gave the heath to man. The heaven of heavens belonged to the Lord, and the heath has he given to the sons of men. John chapter five. Please, God is speaking to us. John chapter five. Beginner reading from verse one, pay attention to this story and this. After this, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Followed closely. Now, verse two, give us verse two. Please Now, there is at Jerusalem by the sheep by the ship market, a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue bethesda, having five porches three. It says in this lay a great multitude of impotent folk of blind halt, withered, waiting for the movement of the water. What they're waiting for? The Bible says, for an angel went down at a certain season into the pool and troubled the water. Who soever then first, after the troubling of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatever disease he had. Isn't it amazing that this was not a parable? It actually happened on earth. A certain man was there which had an infirmity for how long? Thirty eight years? What was this man's problem? Verse six? When Jesus saw him lie and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said, unto him, will now be made whole? He's asking him a question. Watch the man's reply. The important man answered and said to him, Sir, I have no man. He never said I have no energy. My limitation is I have potential to be healed, but I'm not connected to any man that can provide a leverage, sir, in the thirty eight years, I take responsibility. I am knowledgeable enough to know that I have no man when the water is troubled to put me into the pool. He said, But while I am coming and not a stepped down before me, it is logical to assume that that and not had a man to help him, because based on this scripture, men could help men enter the water. If men could not help men, you would not say I have no man to help me. Somebody who had a man to help him gave him the leverage and the acceleration to enter the pool. First. I have no man. This is the story of many people. Please look up. Why have you not risen till now? Why has your life not changed till now? And the correct answer for many people is I have no man. There is no body. I am not coming. I have not placed value on strategic relationships enough to provide a leverage from my home, my company, my ministry, my business. Jesus did not look at him and say, you're a liar and you are speaking nonsense. He knew that the man was right. Verse eight. Jesus now looks at him and says, you got it right. You have no man, but now here is a man. Rise up. Since you were attentive enough to understand the value of men, I have come as a man. Rise up, take up your bed and walk h I have no man. Why has Abuja not opened up for you for decades in spite of being born and bred here. I have gifts, I have degrees, but I have no man. Let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, May I remind you again that all blessings come from God, but they come through man to man. Please everybody shouted safe from God through men to man one more time, say from God through men to men. You can complete this sentence with anything. From God through men to men. That means, if God says yes, and a man to partner with him says no, yes will remain in the realm of the spirit. It will not manifest. Yet when God says yes, the Spirit, the bride must also say yes. For yes to manifest the Spirit and the bride say come, not the Spirit alone, not the bride alone. Please look up. There are many of us right now who are stranded in life and destiny, and the honest explanation is captured in the story of the Man at Bethesda. I have no man. If there was a man, a relationship that could provide a leverage even though you were knocking by twelve midnight, a friend will come out and give you bread. Are we connecting to the story now? I have no man, I have no friend, I have no helper. Why is ministries taunted like this that easy things look difficult? I have no man who can mentor me and open me up and show me the dynamics of excelling with integrity. Why are you so financially incapacitated because of ten thousand? Someone is your family is about to lose his life. I have no man that has invested their interest in my family enough to erode this unnecessary pain. Why are you running around? How much is the rent five hundred thousand, two hundred thousand? Why have you not paid it? Then? I mean I don't have a job. That is not the right answer. I have no man. There is always a man who is behind the results that men produced by God. Listen carefully. The nation of Israel had God for four hundred and thirty years. There were still slaves. God was there, but they were still slaves. You thought that because God was there, they will magically go out four hundred and thirty years with God. And yet the man who will work in partnership with God had not showed up, and they remained slaves, even though there was prophecy to Abraham that their time lapse was four hundred years. Exactly thirty years was added because of the delay in training the man who would come. Until that man shut up. Moses stands before Pharaoh and sstors said, the Lord, God of the Hebrews, let my people go. God was saying, now is the time for their exodus. But the man had to stand before Pharaoh. It was not God that a kid before Pharaoh, but he backed the man that he sent. Please look at me. Let me tell you the truth. Your life can be put in indefinite pain, regret, perpetual secles of defeat, and lack of fulfillment, simply because you have no man, no wonder. The Bible says, in the multitude of men is a king's honor, not in the vastness of the palace, not in the dexterity of the treasury. When you read the Book of Esther, the Bible tells us that King Ahazarus was a great king. He was king over one hundred and twenty seven provinces. Watch this. The kingdom was about to split into two because one man, in this case a woman, Vashti, was going to misbehave in the kingdom. There was no war, the treasuries were not looted, there was no disobedience from the military man. But one woman was about to cause trouble in that kingdom. Men are powerful, more powerful than what you know. Most of us will choose many other things and live. Men. Please look up. Do you know that everything you call business or commerce today only finds its value because there is a man. Take all the men on earth out of the earth. Leave all the banks open, including the atm that does not have money, Leave it with the atm. Card open up, Sibyian, and the vaults open everything there. Will it profit you? Are we together now? Yes? Do you know why Caine cried and said my cause is too great? Something was put upon his life that would make no man to come near him again. That was the punishment. It was not that the beasts of the earth would eat him. Something was put upon him, and he said, every man that seized me will kill me. And God said, no, I will put a mac upon you in all of your punishment, I will still give you the benefit of relationship. And the Bible says Kan beauty city and named it after his son. He could have the benefit of relationship, and there was a future for him in spite of his rebellion and the cause of God upon him. Can I tell you all hope is never lost for a man who has a man. Let me say it again, all hope is never lost for a man who has a man by his side. In addition to the God of Heaven, knowing that men are this important, why is it that men ignore men? Why God does not ignore men? It is because of arrogance and largely ignored. These are the two major reasons why men have not maximized relationships. Please, ladies and gentlemen, pay attention every aspect of this ministry today. By the grace of God. It is credited to the messy and the grace of God. But true men to men. The job that you now have, if you are to be honest, it came from God. But true men to men. When you open the door of your company, your corporation, you're superior. Is not an angel or a spirit sitting down, there is a human being who has the power to fight you. Where you pray for faivor you pray with respect to that man sitting there, is that true God. Favor me? What is in this man that he cannot increase my pay? And God will do something to him, and the man will call you. You call it answer prayer because the answer was in the hand of a man. This leads me to the next discussion. You have heard me say it, and I will repeat it again. In this kingdom, who hates you does not matter. But ladies and gentlemen, please hear me, knowing that this world is men dependent. Who loves you matters. When you say you need God alone with respect to his sovereignty and power life we discussed and worship earlier on, you are right. But when you say you need God alone with respect to the overall dynamics of the cosmos, you will spend your lifetime learning a bitter and a painful lesson. Are we together? Jesus is on his way to God gotter as the word incarnate, bleeding literally from all the lacerations and the beatings and the wickedness that came from all these people. He's on his way, and he's weak Jesus falls on the way, and if there was no man for Jesus, he would have died there. I hope you know. If Jesus died on the ground, he could not be a cost, because it is written cost is every man that hangs on a tree, not dies on the ground. But there was one man, Simon of Siren, who came and lifted the cross for him. You thought Jesus, who said, no, this is redemption, none of your business. You are the sinner I came to save. He would have died there. He allowed the man to help him while he regained the energy that was left for him to die. Jesus needed man. When he resurrected after the coronation service in heaven, guess what he did. He did not go to another planet to rejoice. He came back straight to the earth and gathered the men, one hundred and twenty of them, and said, even though I'm the glorified Christ, I still need you come together. After fifty days ten days now, the Holy Goost is going to be coming. I need to teach you certain things. And he taught them. When the Holy Ghost came, he came upon men. The Gospel of Jesus Christ today continues to adverse from nation to nation, not just by the will of God alone, but to men. If you ignore men in your life, ladies and gentlemen, you will pay very serious price. Write this down, Please write this down. You must understand the principles of sustainable relationships. You must understand the principles of sustainable relationships. You must understand the principles of sustainable relationships in order to excel in your life and destiny. You must understand the principles of sustainable relationships. A few things about relationships. I've done several teachings, but then I'll still do them because I'm sharing a few things. Let's see how far we can go, because I need you to get the third dimension. We have to get it before we close tonight. Let me share a few things with you about relationships that are very, very very important. Are you ready praise God the first You already have it down that who hates you does not matter in this kingdom, but who likes you matters. Write this down. Men, Men are ladders, and men can provide a leverage to your life. Men are ladders, and men can provide a leverage to your life and destiny. That means there are systems of advantage the ministry of men. Men are ladders, like you climb the ladder and move from one face and one dimension to the other. And that men can provide a leverage to your life and your destiny. God will always use men for your rising. Satan will always use men for your fally. God will always use men for your rising. Satan will always use men for your falling or for your destruction. Please do not forget this. God will always use men for your rising. The devil will always use men for your destruction. Write this down. Relationships are investments. Underline the word investments is one of the key points I want you to get as far as dealing with men is concerned. Relationships are investments. They are not like investments. They are investments. So the next time you are listing all the investments you have, make sure you do not leave relationships outside. How many investments do you have? I have real estate, I have shares with this company. That is all. You made a big mistake. You are in trouble. If I'm the one interviewing you, I would just advise you. I'll say you're in trouble. After this interview, run quickly and go on start making the most superior investment. Men? Are we together? If you tell somebody that men are an investment and he laughs at you feel sorry for him. Not there so that you don't lose your job, but in your mind, are we together? Men are always a leverage that God will use. My life is full of stories at several points where God brought men strategic relationships that have made for my personal advancement and the advancement of this vision. And every great person here, without exception, can tell you that their lives changed because of the presence of a man. There are many people who are in pain here and across the globe. They can trace their pain to the presence of men. They didn't have that pain except and unless men came into their lives. So you need to be very very careful, ladies and gentlemen, knowing that your victory and your defeat is not only God dependent, but it is men dependent. You have to obtain the intelligence to know how to peace to your life. The right team, the right sets of men. He that works with the wise. The Bible says that he shall be wise himself, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. There are many people who are well behaved, people of character, and they love God until they were introduced to certain men and their lives just went bad. There were people who were bad, the monic, devilish, irresponsible, but they were introduced to certain men and certain circles. You may want to write this, No man will ever outgrow the influence that comes from men. You can never be so much child or too much child that men will stop influencing you is not true. You are only given the liberty to choose who influences you. But to say you will not be influenced, no man has immunity against the influence that comes from men. You only have the liberty to choose who influences you. At every given point in your life, there is somebody who is influencing you, and there is somebody you are influenced. Allelujah. Let me, as a way of just passing through it list for you four or five keys. I've given it to you before, but for the sake of this teaching keys to help you maintain relationships, We're not really talking about relationships with men extensively. I've done that teaching already you can get it. And then there are other series on relationships coming in the future. But then, let me just quickly put this down. You will need it. Ladies and gentlemen, what I'm about to share with you will explain the reason why some of us are painfully lonely. We are alone even though we love God. Look at me, please. If you are alone and you say everybody hates me, it's an attack on your mind. Everybody cannot hate you like that. It is a sign that is a negative energy. There is a pungency that comes out of you. And let me tell you the truth. People love you, but like look eleven, they love themselves too. The man said, I love you, but now your friendship is about to become an interruption to my children. So stay outside. Let me protect my children. People love you, but not when your relationship now becomes an interruption to their lives. Please pay attention. There are some of us who never find friends anywhere. There are some of us who find friends, But the life span of any friendship is not more than one month. At the end of one month, something most happened. Go I don't care. I've always been by myself. That's why you see that everything continues to backfire. In the name of Jesus. As I share this, let it come as light and deliverance for you. Shout a man, please, in the name of jesus Us. Great potentials, great people, There are some of us. There is. If you are in trouble today, God forbid, there is nobody you can call that even if it is by midnight. What happened? I'm in trouble and the person says, not under my watch. You are too valuable. Let me tell you this. If there is nobody in your life who loves you and believes in you enough to be there for you at moments of pain, your life is hanging on a very delicate balance. Before I begin to give you this list, I want you to think for one moment, and for those who are falling online, please participate. Let me walk with your mind. Now. Mention in your mind live the little baby does guide her around. She's in the house of God. She will have people who protect her. And then there are many other people who, unfortunately, unfortunately, will lose opportunities and will never have You try to touch this little baby, for instance, in this example, and you find out that there are people who come to help her. She cannot talk, but she's in the right environment. He that works with the wise will be wise, but a companion or fools will be destroyed. Are we together now? Is there anyone in your life right now? Look at me, everybody? Is there anyone in your life right now, honestly speaking, that you can call and asks for help, whether financial help, spiritual help. And you are sure that if the person has the means, the person will respond. Don't lift your hand, think about it. If your answer is no, please listen twice, because your life is in danger right now. Man of God, is there anybody you can call under God? Not by manipulation? And sincerely share your vision with them? And the person who says, look, I'm in a position to provide support of all sorts. There are many people who have almost the cause of Cain upon their lives. They move like fugitives in life. No body is interested in your life to invest their credibility, their reputation, their resources. Can I tell you if everybody hates you, the problem is you. It cannot be. Everybody cannot be stupid, demonic or is because I love God, my way is different. You are lying. No if that would be an insult on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Human beings have mastered the art of avoiding trouble, and they can discern trouble from afar. And when your life becomes a capture of a plethora of troubles, allelujah away together. Let me share with you a few kids. Number One, if you want to maintain destiny relationships, there are a few keys that you must learn. Number One, you must rise above what we call competitive jealousy. You will never be able to maintain strategic destiny relationships when you know that you are prone to jealousy. And this is not just an issue of spiritualizing it alone. There is a psychology to this. I have taught you again and I will repeat it. It is not unusual to have this struggle around jealousy when you are in an atmosphere where you see results and then you are alienated from it. But I advise you you can never maintain strategic relationships until you rise above competitive jealousy. There are people who can never be in any circle except they are the leaders there. If they are not going to lead and call the shots there, they cannot go and see it quietly. It is a dangerous mentality. We got some of this mentality from culture. We got some of these men from our past demonic attacks. This is why when we come to the house of God, we allow the washing of the water and by the world. Are we together now avoid competitive jealousy. Let me just give you one script on this. Proverbs fourteen thirty The Bible says, a sound art is the life of the flesh, but envy the rottiness of the bones. Envy is a terrible thing. Jealousy. So are you the only one who is dressing like this? Why is it that everybody comes their greeting socials of person and leaving me. That's always how they are. I face these since I was born. It should be a reason to go for a retreat and say, Lord, the same Lord is reached onto all. If they have done this to this person, I take responsibility. It means there is something I do not understand. My brother or my sister. What is the secret behind the favor of God in your life that I'm not seeing in my life? And five minutes of spiritual lecture can deliver from years of ignorance for someone. This is a prophetic word God is giving you, making cheerless assumptions and working in competitive jealousy will always put you in trouble. You see this sadly with preachers. You see this with business people. You see this in the house of God. Shouldn't be in the sky there are no traffic. There's room for everybody away together. Now number two, let's hurry on. The second key to maintaining relationships avoid evil speaking slash back biting. You must avoid it. I'm teaching you this to empower you. You cannot maintain relationships living in an atmosphere that is perpetually about evil speaking and backbiting. No body will accommodate you under that pungent atmosphere. For some of you, this is why no body wants to come around life. There is nothing else to say except to gossip. There is nothing else to say except to back bite. You see. I think it was Dr Maas Munro who said losers talk about people away together. Mediocres talk about things, but great people talk about ideas. Never allow yourself to be the habitation of gossip and jealousy. People come around and say, hey, there is a gisto you mean you've been in this Abuja, Nigeria and you've not heard. Do not allow your atmosphere to be the one that accommodates that pungent spirit. Say amen, you must avoid evil speaking, avoid back biting. Some of you will talk about everybody, and when there is nobody, you will talk about yourself because you just have to say something be delivered from it in the name of Jesus. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm helping you. Listen. Life will be so easy when you know how to attract and keep strategic relationships. I told you relationships are investments. This is how to make the investment. When your atmosphere becomes conducive, you will be surprised at the kinds of people who will gravitate to your life. And with them will come every blessing that they carry in their hands. When the Magi came to Jesus, they all came together with what they were carrying. When a wise man comes, he comes with the benefits of his wisdom to your life. Are we learning now? So avoid evil speaking, avoid back biting. Number three very quickly, practice forgiveness and tolerance. Practice forgiveness and tolerance. It will be impossible for you to maintain relationships all through your lifetime. If you cannot practice forgiveness and tolerance, I've taught you here in Coinonia. The difference between forgiveness and tolerance. Let me say that forgiveness has to do with providing pardon to over a default. Tolerance means accommodating the intrinsic weaknesses of people because it will happen again and again and again. For instance, if a talkative tells you sorry, I will not talk again. You don't have to forgive the person. You are wasting your time. What you need is what tolerance Saymen practice forgiveness. There are some of us. You are angry with everybody, including God. You don't forgive anybody at all. Someone knocks your door four times instead of three times, and that becomes an offense that you carry for ten years. Where do you know this guy in nineteen ninety one he knocked my door four times instead of three times. No, you have to deliver yourself. Listen, listen while you are laughing. I hope you are paying attention. You must be. When you carry the luggages of hate and bitterness, you are affecting your own life too. Are we together now? Yes? Carrying offense and unforgiveness is like swallowing poison and expecting another person to die. If you don't practice tolerance, you will hurt yourself many times, because even the best of people who come to your life will have your limitations. It is a reality with all men. Are we together now? Looking for perfection is a waste of time. You will never find it. Have you seen someone try to kill a mosquito that is around your face. You may miss the mosquito, but one thing you will never miss is the slap on your face. And then the mosquito comes again. Look, that's an effective way to kill it. You keep at the end of it ten slabs, and yet the mosquito is not dead. That's what many people are doing to their souls. Set yourself free tonight, in the name of Jesus Christ. My brother did this, my mother did this, one cousin did this. Set yourself free and it is Listen. It's a revelation of a superior way of living, a superior way of living. Are we together now? You want to maintain relationships, you must practice forgiveness and tolerance. Let me give you Can I give you two more? What number were now? Number four? Be an active contributor to the growth of the relationship, seeing that your relationship is any kind of relationship. I spoke about Valentine and some of you think I'm against it. I'm not against it. To go on with your plan as planned, provided you are doing what you are doing in wisdom, my nots god Mine's wisdom, don't do it. Are we together now? Be an active contributor to the growth of the relationship. Please look at me. Relationships do not build themselves. They are built by the parties involved. Are we together now? Yes? This is true for married couples. This is true for business relationships. This is true for parents and children. Anybody who does not become an active contributor. There's what they call parasitic relationships, where there are people who don't bring anything at all. Are we together? Relationships must be a healthy balance between expectations and contributions. When your expectation in a relationship far outweighs your contribution, you are a selfish person. When your contribution far outwegte your expectation, somebody is being unfair on you. There must be a healthy balance. Are we together? You cannot contribute one thousand mira words of contribution and expect one million mira. What of expectation? That is fraud? Are we together now? It's like giving the bank one thousand error and expecting ten million tomorrow. It doesn't work that way. Unfortunately, there are people that's how their relationships are. You never can trace the benefit that they bring into the system. If they are workers in church, they will never pay anybody's transport, even as a seed. They don't have anybody's birthday in mind, including their family members. They forget everything now. The only thing they remember is their needs. Who are something to say me? Well, I just want you to know that things are not really all right for me right now. And I will appreciate whatever it is that anybody can do, because I know that God uses men. Have you seen people like that? The entire conversation is about them. And I love you with all my heart, everybody, but particularly let me speak to you, our dear sisters in the Lord, in the name of Jesus. Let me give you counsel. I don't talk so much about this, but let me give you an honest counsel. Throw away some of these garbages that come in from misguided maybe in social media or what digs the things that you learn. Are we together the moment you are in any kind of relationship that makes it all about you, You're already in trouble. Not even our relationship with God is all about him. When we tell him God take everything, he says, no, I'm not so selfish. I will make sure that I attend to you also. Are we together? Now? Don't carry that narrative that is all about you. You find this happened all around and people refuse to be active contributors. So we have business partner One is just there like a parasite. Are you awake now? May God bless you. God will help you for us here in Jesus' name, hear me. Where you do not have any definite value to offer, let your value be gratitude. Where you do not have anything definite to offer, make sure you keep showering that relationship with a lavish expression of gratitude. You are a manner. You are not doing anything, and your wife is working, bringing you money all the time and having the honor shameedness to look like a fool before you. My husband, I'm submitting to you, including this money children's cool fee. She's paid it. House Rench she's paid it and you say thanks, No, that's not wisdom. Don't be offended. I'm saying this because I love you. Let me tell you, gratitude is a big contribution in any relationship. Gratitude can equalize even what your value cannot bring. I'm not able to do this, but I'm really grateful. I wouldn't have had the money to buy the fuel, but thank you for stepping in. I really want you to know that I am. I am thoughtful and thankful for what you have done. I think there there is I think it's your black people that do it that they think twice. They do that one in the night and then by the next day they do it again. Very healthy practice. Do we do it three times? In fact, in this in this world you want, you want people to remember you. I hope someone is learning. Man of God, someone gives you a one hundred million mire as a seed in ministry and you have access to. Know the person. It's not to worship people, but don't say I don't care. God provides. If no, no, don't speak like that. You will be poor and you will struggle in ministry. It's a very honest advice. Learn to appreciate people sincerely. Your wife treats you well, tell her thank you. Don't say I've paid your dowry already, what is my No, don't act like that. You're a child of God. Your husband provides. And then, no matter how wealthy you are, trained your children to say thank you. This entitlement mentality that is destroying Africa. They paid their school fees. They do this. Teach them to say thank you. Are we together now? Thank you to God and thank you to men. There are times you can just pick up your phone and begin to thank the people who have contributed greatly or significantly in your life. The corporate organizations understand this. This is why they keep excelling. We in the church are masters of taking people for granted. Past us. I say this respectfully speaking. When God gives you members and workers who love you and labored day and night, seeing that the work is advanced, don't take them for granted. Find every means within your power to say thank you and repeat it again and for coin on your workers. Thank you, thank you, and I really mean what I'm saying. Thank you, our global family. Thank you for all of you who are here. Thank you if you are not here. Whether I am anointed or not, that's not the issue. It's one thing to be valuable, but it's another thing for people to believe in you enough to invest their credibility, their attention, their resources, their loyalty. Do not take them for granted. If someone learning, if somebody pains this kind of picture for you, will you, under normal circumstances run away from that person. No, my husband doesn't love me. If it's an attack, that's all right. There a miracle service coming. But under normal that listen, listen. Under normals are constances. Find out what is making your husband run away from you. You can't come and yell from morning till night, shouting calling the man's name, remembering in nineteen ninety nine it was twelve noon you were wearing white. I remember, plus a dark shit you and you and the manners returned tired. He will go out of the house and go and sleep in the office. I knew you were going to go out. Comebat you will see meet me here and for men, let's tame our arrogance and say thank you and be there. Sometimes all these big manys in for nothing. Once you cannot help yourself, and people do for you what you cannot do for yourself. Be humble enough to acknowledge people. It does not take anything out of you. There are men who would rather say how are you. I hope you will find your dress is nice than to say thank you. Just say thank you. Men, say it one more time, say thank you. Calling on your men say it. Say thank you. In the name of Jesus Christ. Are we learning so you must be an active contributor to every relationship. Some of you right now, let me tell you this after service, practice what you just learned. Now, think of people who have significantly contributed to your life, including your boss that you may say you don't like. I just want to appreciate yourself learned something. I came to church and I was greatly inspired. Transformation is happening, and I've decided to respond, just to tell you I'm grateful. Let me tell you what to expect. Most of them will not reply. That does not mean the effect was not created. I'm giving you a teas that's all. You don't and say you see that's how it works. They will not reply, but the effect has been created. The day promotion will come. That's when you know that text added up to your rising. There are many people who are grounded today because of ignorance. Become an active contributor. Someone helps you, gives you, say, a loan of one million era, and you rise and now you're a big man. And then you are going to his house and you buy an orange of hundred narra. Let's be be honest. You carry a hundred narra orange that you bought just at a John show near his house. The letter is even turned and you wrap tie it here, tie it here, and you don't say sorry, no, no. Now politicians understanding non Christians understandings. They are masters of investing into strategic relationships, but charge people because of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Another advantages like favor. These things are investment. Start making your investment now after service. Don't match people and push people and run around. You don't know that the person you do pushes the doctor that will treat your child if he has malaria. No, treat people with honor and with dignity. Are we together now? Don't look at someone saying it came for Cononia's looking like he's dressed in Iraq. He may be wearing rags, but something is happening to his mind. And tomorrow when you see the same sound of money in power and glory, you will bite your finger and regret someone learning. Never be part of any kind of relationship where it is all about giving to you and you are not an active contributor. It doesn't have to be money, give love and support if someone decides to invest into your life, your children. I just called to say I'm honorable, just to greet you and to ask how you are doing. I hope everything is fine. My prayers and my blessings are with you. In Jesus' name, you have scheduled the season of continuous favor. There are many people. The day you get a text from them is because another request is coming. Calvary greetings, just to let you know that I am still here. Two minutes later, they just sorry, just to let you know they one million again. They rent the way you know you don't act like that. Don't give people memories of pain when they think about you. If you're learning shouting men So, my dear brother and my dear sister. This may be one of the reasons why people run away from you. It may also be the reason why no kind of relationship seems to work for you. Because you are always thinking about what people will give to you, or you have very lead to value and contribution, but you have a reasonably high expectation believing that everybody will come and give you heaven, and that it doesn't work that way. You must become an active contributor to the growth of that relationship, your time, your resources, any kind of leverage you can provide under God. Let me give you the last key. Are you learning master kindness and hospitality. You want to maintain valuable relationships that translate to open doors. As simple as this sounds, you will be surprised how many people may not be able to make progress. Master kindness. What is kindness? The quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. That's what we call kindness, the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. And then master hospitality. Hospitality is not about cooking food. Hospitality is built upon an intrinsic desire to see people happy and welcomed. Let me repeat it again, the last key. You want to maintain relationships with men, Master kindness and hostle hospitality. Please say kindness, say hospitality one more time. Say kindness, say hospitality. Kindness is the quality of being friendly, the quality of being generous and the quality of being considerate. And then to be hospitable means intrinsically, you desire to see people happy. You desire to see people welcomed. I give you a guarantee on that God, you cannot surround yourself with this kind of spiritual and psychological energy and have people run away from you. It will not happen under normal circumstances. Many of us are not kind, Many of us are not hospitable. Are we together, Master kindness to your wife, to your husband, to your children, to your superiors, to your contemporaries, to your subordinate Master kindness a person in our family, we don't really give. That's all right, learn you can learn from today this night. Lend a way together, Master kindness. Say in the name of Jesus. Say it as a confession. In the name of Jesus, I declare that kindness begins to work in my life. Say it again, in the name of Jesus, I declare that kindness begins to work in my life. To be kind means to be friendly. People should not look at you and say good afternoon, and you look at them, you size them from head to toe. Who is your father? Who is your mother? What are you wearing? What kind of designer? Now? Just go don't do that, don't do that, don't do that. Be kind to people. Let me tell you something I wish I had time to tell you stories in my life. Some of the great helpers in my life have been some of the most honor assuming people. Based on the physical personal if you were to select people, you would not go close to those people. Yet they have profound and tremendous influence and by that discernment and to be able to communicate or not, it provided a leverage that myself and even this ministry is still benefiting from today. Don't look down people because of financial status, because of educational whatever you may have. People are that match your pedigree to deal with. I understand that. But make sure that you are kind to everybody. God has granted you a car. I know you are driving a car of one hundred million era. Don't hit the guy walking on the road just because you are moving, because one day you will buy a kind in his company. Are weay together? Yes? And let me tell you TA is a gentleman. When you are starting out in life, live your life with honor and dignity. Provided you are working the part of righteousness and integrity, there should be no shape. Don't fake your life. No one shirts that you have weighed with honor. Anybody that wants you to wear a designer cloth before they respect you does not deserve to be your friend. They are leaving you. Is it was God ordained to give you peace because you already see that that pathway will lead to destruction. It is selfishness personified. Are we together? Practice kindness? I pray even for myself every time that beyond being an anointed man of God, beyond being someone who God has trusted with revelation and leadership, that at a new clean level, that character of kindness, ah and hospitality will come from me, not because I'm a preacher. It is a beautiful way to live. Are we together now? Many of you are not kind. You've not done anything to anybody. There are clothes in your house today that are spoiling. You have outgrown them, you will never use them. Yet you will not give you the pain of giving out new clothes. That's what is paying you. You'd rather keep it there than to give it to someone. No, go back home after this meeting, Go and sort the clothes in your wardrobe and personally they are too expensive. Really for who now, the people Jesus died for, I'm giving you an assignment. And for those who are following our global family. They congest your life from a lot of things. Start with your clothes. Go and give somebody take ten thousand narror and say, look that woman that is always sitting at the side. I'm always seeing her children jumping every time they see me. They say, good afternoon, mommy. Those children have been calling you for mommy, calling you mommy for one year. You've never done anything that justifies being called mommy. Do it after this service, give them something and say, look, children, how much is their schoofies? Ten thousand? Okay, I can only do two. Take, even if it's just one time. Giving is living. There can never be kindness. Listen, there can never be kindness without giving some of you. Valentine, right now, your spouse or your friend has bought all kinds of gift and you don't plan to do anything. All you plan to do is amen, let me pray for you. Let me tell you, if you're in this house, no body should buy you any gift to anything. And then you give them prayer back. You are selfish away together. People should not go out of your way to show you love and care and then you throw it away. It shouldn't be. Some of you have never blessed any man of God that God used to bless your life. You are not kind at all. You receive, you grow, you increase. I'm not asking you to give me money. You know that, but I'm saying it is a practice in your heart. Never be part of any ministry, any church, any man of God, any organization where you are consistently being blessed and lifted, and you don't take it as a responsibility to contribute. If you cannot give money, give prayers. If you cannot give prayers, sow the seed of gratitude. Some of you may need to do this to your parents. Did you know that there are many well de people around war millionnaires and miloonnaires, and sometimes you see your parents and their conditions back home, maybe in the village, and it's pathetic. Let people rejoice because you are alive. Let people rejoice because you are there. Let people make you a prayer point that God would draw you into your lives because you are such. You are a compendium of blessings. Let people not take you as a prayer point and say, Lord, when will you drive this man out of my life? You hear people prayer, all kinds of prayer. God will give me peace by your means. They are talking about human beings. Say I am a blessing. I'm not wasting your time saying say I am a blessing. So whatever you need to correct tonight. If it's an attitude problem, corrected. You are sarcastic, you hate on people, you misbehave correct it. Okay, person, we are like that in our family. I understand. We don't judge you. But this is where the power of the world comes. Let me tell you, if you do not rise above culture, you may never prevail in certain dimensions. You have to exhort the world of God beyond some of these cultural things. Love the world of God and rise beyond the grip of culture and the limitations that they bring to your mind. Are we together now? God cannot trust you with the destinies of men at a global scale when you are limited and understanding and surrounded with all kinds of prejudices and biases. It doesn't work that way. God gave you five children, three are your biological children, and two may not be your biological children. Maybe I may not say, okay three to everybody the same, but at least let the two be able to feel the love of genuine parents. Don't humiliate them simply because your parents are dead. No, I made up my mind that everybody under my watch, by the grace of God, will feel the love of a father without prejudice. Is someone learning at the end of your life. It's not how many things you have acquired that matters. It's who was able to know the Lord because of you, who was able to smile and find hope? Can I tell you, my dear sister, you cannot become this kind of person and not have one person in your life who loves you enough to be around you. My dear brother, you cannot become this kind of person I have described and not have one person who believes in you enough willing to invest your lives. I ask this question again as we finish up this second phase. Who in your life today man of God, woman of God, business man, My dear sister, my dear brother, who in your life today have you chosen to invest your time, your resources, your credibility has a sincere way of contributing into relationships. The moment you find out that you are a parasite only receiving from people change because very soon you will find out that you are alone. No human being survives an atmosphere with that level of pongenusy. People want to know that you are an active contribute husband and wife, children to their parents, parents to their children, men of God to members, members to men of God, business men, CEOs, to your staff, staff to CEOs. You know, all kinds and all kids. Make sure that you become active contributors and your relationship will become magnetic. Your personal will be so inviting. Even if people have nothing to tell you, they want to be around you because you become the closest expression of Jesus Christ. Spare me a few minutes and let me touch on the last dimension. Are you ready for it? So we spoke about your relationship with God number two, your relationship with men, and I spent a bit of time just stressing on a few things that will help us have effective relationships number three, and that will be the final consideration for tonight. Your relationship with things, your relationship with God number one, Your relationship with men, number two, and then the last dimension of relationship. This is very important, your relationship with things. Let's consider a few scriptures very quickly, and then we will pray. First Timote Chapter six will begin our reading from verse seventeen. First Timote six, Please write and look very carefully first Timot six and verse seventeen. Many of you do not know that there is a way to relate with things. You can relate with things wrongly, the same way you relate with God wrongly. You relate with men wrongly. You can relate with things things the mean all kinds of material possessions. There is an ad there is a technology to relating with things in a way that it benefits you and does not leave you miserable. Charge them. It says that are rich in this world, please look up that they may not be high minded, are using the side effect of wealth and riches. Not trust in on certain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. That is already a beautiful scripture. So we're not in confusion as to the fact that God gives us all things to enjoy. Verse eighteen. That they do good? Is someone learning now that they use the things that have been given to them to do good, and they be rich in good walks, ready to distribute, willing to communicate nineteen, laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come. Make reference to my teaching the law of seasons, that they may lay hold on eternal life. Twenty It says timoth thing, keep that which is committed to the trust, avoiding profane and then babblings and oppositions of science falsely so called. The last verse twenty one it says, which some professing have aired concerning the faith. Grace be with you, Amen. Now please look up his teaching his son in the Gospel Timothy, how to deal with things. He's saying, the moment to begin to have access to things influence material riches. There are certain things that begin to happen to you. And if you do not know how a spiritual man relates to material things, it can tear you into pieces that at the end of your life, Like Judas, the money that you have will not bless you. You will lose the money, lose your relationship with Jesus, and even lose your life. Are we learning one more? Scripture? First John Chapter two a popular scripture from verse fifteen and sixteen. Love not the world. The word loved dear is the Greek word errors lost, and on godly affinity. Love not the world. Neither the things are you seeing there now? The things that are in the world. That means he's not saying, don't have cars and houses and things that make your life comfortable. The word love dear means do not develop. And on godly affinity, an affinity that you can kill for money, you can kill for things. It does not matter if any man loved the world in that simplitude. The love of the Father is not in him. Are we learning verse sixteen? For all that is in the world, the loss of the flesh, the loss of the eyes, the pride of life is not of the Father, but it's the world. Please look up. Something begins to happen to men when they start succeeding. I can tell you that it is easier to become successful than to remain successful. The dynamics of managing things is such that if God does not help you, you will lose your life, your character, your integrity, everything that makes you you intrinsically, you can lose it in the presence of plenty. The misbehavior of the people in Jesus's crusade came after they ate bread when they were hungry. They behave themselves is let them sit down. They all sat down the moment they ate and they were full. They scattered bread all around the crusade ground and left. When they gathered it, it was twelve basketsful. Something happens to men in the midst of plenty. I understand your correct behavior right now, because you are probably owing or the something happening. But when you get to a point where you have plenty, you are not limited by anything. That is when you see the potential that is in the hearts of men, pride, a houghty spirit, and so on and so forth. Please look up, let me teach you something. The secret to managing things is to never exalt them above Jesus. Number two, Understand that every blessing that God gives you is for your comfort, for the revelation of Jesus to help you become a blessing to humanity. Never exalt any material thing above Jesus. Don't have a garage for your car, a safe for your jewearies, and yet not have a place to meet with God, I'm not teaching you to be careless with things, but as God bless you like He has done for many of us, and he's doing for many. The implication of open doors is that among the many blessings that come to you is plenty for a man of God. Here. Maybe you are at a prophetic point in your ministry right now where God is about to expand you and increase. With increase comes the burden of management and correct relationship. You can relate wrongly with things by making them God in your life. That was the mistake of the rich fool. He made money his God. There are people money is their God. Today. There are people's certificates is their God. There are people their pedigree and whatever it is is their God. Some of the greatest people have met in my life are people who are extremely humble, godly, very honoring in the midst of plenty. It is my prayer even for myself that has God. God continues to help me and show me is messy that all these things that distract people and produce pride, Great Man of God. Great this is that those things will be far from the corridors of my life. Say Amen for me and I pray the same prayer for you too. Sincerely, let me tell you the truth. Many of you here have been blessed by God at different levels. Some of you have been extremely blessed. To the glory of God. All together, we owe ourselves a responsibility. You're a man of God, You're a business man. You're a millonier, You're a biloonneer. You are watching from across the globe and owner of conglomerates. Thank God for your achievements. We do not downplay it. But let me tell you there is a healthy way with relate with things. The believer in Christ has rules of engagement. You don't engage with things as though they are your life, my money. That is the language of an unbeliever, my house, my car, my business. I am a millonneer, I'm a biloonnere, not just as a confession of the world, but just to rob it into people, and you demand all kinds of human worship because of it. You are relating wrongly. If you are blessed, you are blessed. You don't have to rob it on the faces of people. Most of the people who do that are just at their infancy into the wealthy place. I can tell you people who are established there. You know it by the character of stability. They use others more superior parameters to command respect not resources are way together. It is my prayer. I'm saying it again, and I'm praying for everybody here sincerely. Some of us may need to tame our pride and our attitude towards things. Your life, your relationship with God changed. Many things went wrong in your life when the blessing began to come. While you were tricking, you were moving, no nothing, you see. One of the ways that to manage things is to remember where He took you from. Always remember thou shall remember coin only a we're rapping up. Do not forget this man of God. Thou shall remember. I still remember the days of infancy of this ministry, absolutely nothing, blind trust in Jesus, and that was it. I remember. One of the major financial blessings that came to this ministry that time was twenty thousand. A lady gave so that we're buy matt instead of sitting on the ground. Do not forget where God took you from. Apostle, I am a billooneare You are not the first, You will not be the last. And don't be part of the many lessons that others are learning from negatively. If God has blessed you and has helped you, enjoy the blessings of God. But let your time your mind beyond Jesus. That you can push that car, You can push all those things, the estates and everything. And people look at you and sawyer man of God as great as you are. It's as if you don't like good things have been run away from them. They may be sincere, but they're leading you to the part of deception. You're the king of my life. That was why I wrote this song. It was around a Valentine period, just around this period, that was when I wrote this song many years ago. Listen to it. Says king my life, you were myle and ninly for you alone.

Is yours, my mind is yours, my weed is yours. You're the king of my life. You're the love of my life. Walk through the doors of prosperity singing this song. Walk through the doors of influence singing this song. Walk through the doors of lifting, singing this song. When men want to distract you by singing another song that makes you the god of the process, respectfully shot them and tell them I was mentored properly before the door opened. The song will always be about him. The lifting, and the accolades and the applause will always be about him. I am satisfied that He has made me a beneficiary of these open doors. Because I give you a guarantee, by the integrity of God, you put what you have heard today, you will sit down and watch us door holding a charm, doors open that you cannot begin to explain. I'm not teaching you conningly device fables. By the privilege of God's grace and without any sense of sounding arrogant, I know what I am telling you. What I am teaching.

Give you lands you did not buy. It is true. You don't have to be a Christian to believe the logic and intelligence of what I'm saying. It is not only a spiritual principle, it is a universal principle. Do not have money alone. Use part of that money to buy relationships. Write this finally, and then will pray.
