the dynamism or flexibility with culture 294 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,800 But you see, the word of God never lowers its standards 295 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:59,800 Regardless of how your culture is improving or how you're modernizing yourself 296 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,800 The word of God is the word of God 297 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:10,800 So the one who does not want to be a wayside, hearted person 298 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,800 What does he do? 299 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,800 He considers the word first 300 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,800 I'm not going to get drunk because 301 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,800 Because 302 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,800 Come on, because 303 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,800 Consider the word of God 304 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:36,800 Now, when somebody falls down, my first response is going to lay hands on the person 305 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,800 Why? 306 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,800 I'm considering the word of God 307 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:46,800 So I'm not just talking about this in terms of sin only 308 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:47,800 Hallelujah 309 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,800 So when I meet that person 310 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,800 Who wants to collapse in my face? 311 00:20:53,800 --> 00:21:01,800 The consideration of the word of God makes me know that I should move to lay hands on the person 312 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,800 Come on, hallelujah 313 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:11,800 So the wayside person who heard the word and the word did not make any improvement 314 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:12,800 Or did not bear fruit 315 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,800 And the Bible says he did not understand it 316 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,800 It's not really any strange thing 317 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,800 The person did not consider the word 318 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,800 He didn't consider the word 319 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,800 So take for example, the person just went to church head wet, head wet 320 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,800 But in his daily practical life, there's no considering of the word 321 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,800 He can get angry at the time he wants to get angry 322 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,800 He can beat anybody at the time he wants to beat anybody 323 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,800 He can gossip at the time he wants to gossip 324 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:46,800 In fact, it actually means somebody who did not bring his life under the authority of the word 325 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,800 Hallelujah 326 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:59,800 So the one who did not consider, who did not understand the word is the one who did not bring himself under the audacity or the authority of the word 327 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,800 There are many Christians who are not under the authority of the word of God 328 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,800 They go to where they want to go to 329 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,800 They do what they want to do 330 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,800 They think what they want to think 331 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,800 They behave how they want to behave 332 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,800 And they like what they want to like 333 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,800 They dislike what they want to dislike 334 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,800 The word of God has not come in 335 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:25,800 The word of God only comes in when it is fueling their ego 336 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,800 In other words, when the word goes for them 337 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,800 Then they can quote the Bible 338 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,800 Think about this guy who had been parambulating himself as a pastor 339 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,800 And now his heart, his true heart is being revealed 340 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,800 Sofuchiraboso 341 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:50,800 This guy was moving around like he is any serious man of God 342 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,800 Burning, shrines and stuff like that 343 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,800 Now this guy comes up after the wife has left him 344 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,800 And said that the man is sleeping with a lot of girls in the church 345 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,800 The man married two people at the same day 346 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,800 Now the guy comes back 347 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,800 In one of his responses 348 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,800 And he is talking and you have one foolish guy also 349 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,800 Like that thing that they do 350 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,800 They think church is like a hymn 351 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,800 Where the king is talking and somebody is you know 352 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,800 Then he says, when you hear that I have 353 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,800 You see I want to tell you something 354 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,800 Me and my wife we are no more 355 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,800 And my wife is trying to get 356 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,800 They call it alimony 357 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,800 And stuff like that 358 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,800 You are my wife 359 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,800 And blah blah blah 360 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,800 And he says you know what 361 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,800 And you know he kept on saying that 362 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,800 Then later in an interview comes the person 363 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,800 Somebody, the interviewer asked him 364 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,800 About the Bible 365 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:00,800 And he said no no no 366 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,800 The Bible 367 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,800 This is supposed to be a pastor 368 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,800 And said many damn noble things about the Bible 369 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,800 To the point that he says that 370 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,800 Now this is somebody who is supposed to be called a pastor 371 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,800 This same person even before the break up or the divorce 372 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,800 He said that the Bible is just a piece of letter 373 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,800 We work by the Spirit and not the Bible 374 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,800 And he knew what he was doing 375 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,800 See before a Christian or any man of God would come 376 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,800 And now be talking against the Bible 377 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:50,800 It's

01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:27,800 We think that the presence of God means no trouble 944 01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,800 No! 945 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:41,800 So the stony heart is the heart that is not able to go through times 946 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:46,800 Faith does not just get built up overnight 947 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,800 Let me say that thing again and put it in capital letters 948 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:54,800 Faith, you cannot become a mighty healer overnight 949 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,800 You cannot become a very powerful preacher overnight 950 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:08,800 You cannot become a great man of God overnight 951 01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:14,800 That will be a heart that is stony 952 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,800 That doesn't have much earth 953 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:20,800 The thing does not have much earth but it grows quickly 954 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,800 Think about it 955 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:26,800 The growth will happen on a good ground 956 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:33,800 But no, even on the good ground, there is no immediate springing up 957 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:35,800 Hallelujah! 958 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:37,800 Oh, I

your faith to be audacious, to get your faith to work 962 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,800 Number one, you must consider the work that you do 963 01:01:53,800 --> 01:02:00,800 Number two, have patience for process 964 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:01,800 Hallelujah! 965 01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,800 Have patience for process 966 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,800 Is that okay? 967 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,800 How do you get your faith to work? 968 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:15,800 Number one, consider the world 969 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:20,800 In everything that you do, consider the world 970 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:25,800 Even if God is telling you to do something against his own word, you can put God where he belongs to 971 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,800 And say you are becoming a devil, watch out 972 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,800 Consider the world 973 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:39,800 Number two, have patience for process 974 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,800 Don't quickly get up and say, this year nothing is working 975 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,800 Don't get up and say, nothing is working in my life 976 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:46,800 Are we together? 977 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:51,800 You begin to hear people, you see, I used to be like that 978 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,800 I would listen to people who have all kinds of sarcastic testimonies about ministry 979 01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:00,800 When they started ministry, they said when we started ministry, we were two, we went into the place 980 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,800 We prayed for six months and we prayed we would take over this land 981 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:08,800 And as we kept on praying and we prayed and prayed, the Lord brought people, the Lord brought six people 982 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,800 And as the Lord brought six people, in the next six months we grew to 150 983 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,800 In the next six months we grew to 300 984 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,800 Then in the second year we grew to 5,000 985 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,800 This is a miracle 986 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:29,800 Now every church these days is buying church growth series 987 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:39,800 How to have a mega church, how to have international ministry, how to this, how to that, how to this, how to that 988 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:47,800 That is right now, it's like people are actually going to buy stones to put on their land 989 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,800 Stony heart, you see we need a heart of many stones 990 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,800 Because it is in that that there is a shooting up 991 01:03:55,800 --> 01:04:00,800 Then the Bible says continue 992 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:07,800 No, no, no, interpretation of this, I'm still on the stony ground 993 01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:12,800 Uh-huh, hear the word 994 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,800 And anoint with joy receive the word 995 01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,800 Have no hero, uh-huh 996 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:23,800 Do you all read for a while, who has a different translation? 997 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:28,800 But endures only for a while 998 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,800 Think about somebody who says, man of God I'm with you 999 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,800 Till death do us part 1000 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,800 Where you die, that's why I would die 1001 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:43,800 See that's what I'm telling you, I'm not in a rush for many sons because the ones I have now 1002 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,800 They are how I have done too much 1003 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,800 So I have to work on, I have to finish work before I accept anyone 1004 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,800 Somebody called me and said, man of God 1005 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,800 I said yes, God has spoken to me, you are my father 1006 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,800 I said go back to God again 1007 01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,800 Because God has told me this year is not giving me any sons 1008 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:07,800 Now this guy that's calling me his father 1009 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:12,800 I've already seen him posting some on Nigerian pastors on his status, my father, my father 1010 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,800 Go to add me to it because you saw one video 1011 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,800 No please, I'm not your father, go and ask your mother 1012 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:25,800 Because the mothers know the real father, so go and ask your father 1013 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:32,800 Because there's something that is called endurance for a while 1014 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:36,800 There are people, they have time limits to the level of your endurance 1015 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:40,800 They can be with you for a while, but when things are getting harder 1016 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:45,800 They have to use their sense, nobody can come and kill anybody in this country 1017 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:50,800 Hallelujah, since they endure for a while 1018 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,800 So it means they will be enduring at the beginning, alright 1019 01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:58,800 They will be there for a while, they will be okay, alright, alright 1020 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,800 The little hashi will come and say 1021 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,800 God is taking us through 1022 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:08,800 Three months, I think it's been like two years 1023 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,800 They got to tell us this 1024 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:20,800 Three years 1025 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,800 Because the Lord is with you 1026 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,800 The Lord is with you 1027 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,800 Endure for a while, continue 1028 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:44,800 When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word 1029 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,800 By and back 1030 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,800 It means they are leaving this not immediately 1031 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,800 It means that when it comes they leave 1032 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:59,800 It says by and

And I ordained thee 1242 01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:51,800 A prophet 1243 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,800 Caller by a 1244 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:55,800 Unto the nations 1245 01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:57,800 Unto the nations 1246 01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:01,800 Then the world comes to a guy who says you were a global prophet 1247 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:03,800 Caller by a 1248 01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,800

01:15:27,800 I cannot speak 1257 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:29,800 For I am a child 1258 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,800 But the Lord said unto me say not 1259 01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:33,800 I'm a child 1260 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,800 For thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee 1261 01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,800 And whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak 1262 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,800 Be not afraid of their faces 1263 01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:41,800 For I am with thee to deliver thee 1264 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,800 Say it the Lord 1265 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:45,800 I'm with thee to deliver thee 1266 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:49,800 Then the Lord put forth his hand 1267 01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,800 And touched my mouth 1268 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:53,800 And I said work 1269

and pull down 1275 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:09,800 And destroy and throw down 1276 01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,800 And to build and to plant 1277 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:15,800 You see 1278 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,800 This was the calling 1279 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,800 This was the calling 1280 01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:21,800 International 1281 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:23,800 Bombastic prophet 1282 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,800 But God didn't say you are going to get confused 1283 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:31,800 In the process you will speak and they will mock you 1284 01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:35,800 All of that is in the package 1285 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,800 But you, when you are 1286 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,800 Selling something, do you sell the negative side? 1287 01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,800 God is a businessman, he can't sell the negative side 1288 01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:45,800 Do you know that 1289 01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,800 In the lifetime 1290 01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,800 Of prophet Jeremiah 1291 01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:53,800 Everything God said about him 1292 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:55,800 Never came to pass 1293 01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,800 When we are doing a survey of the 1294 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:01,800 Old Testament or of the Old Testament prophet 1295 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,800 I will tell you that 1296 01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:05,800 It did not come to pass 1297 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:07,800 Uprooting didn't happen 1298 01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,800 Rooting didn't happen 1299 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:11,800 Planting didn't happen 1300 01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:13,800 All of them failed 1301 01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:19,800 But do you know the fulfillment of the prophecy? 1302 01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,800 The fulfillment of the prophecy 1303 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,800 Was that 1304 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,800 It was by Jeremiah's 1305 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:27,800 Prophecy 1306 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,800 That Israel was delivered 1307 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,800 From the captivity of Babylon 1308 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:33,800 After 70 years 1309 01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:37,800 And every word 1310 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:39,800 Jeremiah spoke came to pass 1311 01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,800 After he was dead 1312 01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:43,800 It means that when God was telling you all the sweet things 1313 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:45,800 God was not talking about a person, he was talking about his ministry 1314 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:55,800 So you can be facing 1315 01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:57,800 Exactly opposite to what God has told you 1316 01:17:57,800 --> 01:17:59,800 And it's not because God's word has failed 1317 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,800 It's actually the continuation of the fulfillment 1318 01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:05,800 As the first part 1319 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:07,800 First part 1320 01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,800 See you can't walk with God 1321 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,800 With excitement 1322 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,800 No 1323 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,800 You cannot be walking with God 1324 01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,800 With excitement 1325 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:19,800 When you meet God, don't be excited 1326 01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:21,800 When God gives you word, cry 1327 01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:23,800 You have to tell him please I'm not interested 1328 01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:25,800 You have to let him force you 1329 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:27,800 And do the work, cry 1330 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,800 It doesn't sound sweet 1331 01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:33,800 He never told you on the baptism 1332 01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:35,800 That your head will be cut off 1333 01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,800 Prepare ye the way 1334 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:39,800 Prepare ye for he shall come in the spirit of Elijah 1335 01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:41,800 He shall tend the heart of the fathers 1336 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:43,800 To children and children to the fathers 1337 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:45,800 He shall not eat any food 1338 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,800 Wild only 1339 01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:49,800 Prophet, he's the greatest 1340 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,800 Jesus himself said it 1341 01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:53,800 Of all men, he's the greatest prophet 1342 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:55,800 He's the greatest prophet 1343 01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,800 He's the greatest prophet 1344 01:18:57,800 --> 01:18:59,800 He's the greatest prophet 1345 01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:01,800 Inside the thing 1346 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:03,800 God never said your head will be chopped off 1347 01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:05,800 He said you will carry your head on a blitz 1348 01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,800 When you are about 1349 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:11,800 When God is calling to follow him 1350 01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:13,800 Follow him, cry 1351 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:15,800 In fact, follow God 1352 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:17,800 First of all, start with disappointment 1353 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,800 Know that you have been disappointed in life 1354 01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:23,800 Then follow him 1355 01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,800 So that when anything comes 1356 01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:27,800 You know, like when you have expectations 1357 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:29,800 You're expecting Lena to call you 1358 01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:31,800 And all of that 1359 01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:33,800 When she doesn't call you, be angry 1360 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,800 But when you know that, oh, this lady I'm going out with 1361 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:37,800 She's a crazy person 1362 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,800 She will not call me 1363 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,800 I don't even need her call 1364 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,800 When she calls you, you're okay 1365 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:45,800 When she doesn't call you, you know her already 1366 01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,800 That's how life is 1367 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,800 So that's how you follow God 1368 01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:51,800 That's why Paul says that 1369 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:53,800 When the people gave offerings to Paul 1370 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,800 Listen to what Paul says 1371 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:57,800 Paul says that 1372 01:19:57,800 --> 01:19:59,800 I have learned to live in abundance 1373 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,800 And I've learned to live in poverty 1374 01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,800 I can do all things through Christ 1375 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:05,800 It means that whether you bring it again 1376 01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:07,800 Or you don't bring it again 1377 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:09,800 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me 1378 01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:11,800 So I don't want any expectations 1379 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:15,800 You brought me one giving today 1380 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:17,800 Now I'm expecting, oh, okay 1381 01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,800 The next month the giving is going to come 1382 01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,800 No, I have my budget already 1383 01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,800 The budget are two 1384 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:25,800 To go hungry or to eat 1385 01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,800 So whichever way 1386 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:29,800 I choose what I want to do 1387 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,800 I say, well, I don't 1388 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,800 It's very important 1389 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:35,800 You see, this is not a message 1390 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,800 That we hear now 1391 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,800 We hear, come to God and you will increase 1392 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,800 We hear, come to God, you become same ones 1393 01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,800 We hear, come to God and you will heal the nation 1394 01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:45,800 We hear, come to God, you will somersault 1395 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,800 So that's the problem 1396 01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:53,800 Hallelujah 1397 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:55,800 Stony heart 1398 01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:57,800 Stony heart 1399 01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,800 Stony heart 1400 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:01,800 Don't you think God could have created the world in one day 1401 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:03,800 The universe in one day 1402 01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:05,800 He used six days 1403 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:07,800 And inside the days 1404 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:09,800 Are billions of years 1405 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:13,800 Yeah 1406 01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,800 Hallelujah 1407 01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:17,800 He took his time 1408 01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:19,800 God did not first create trees 1409 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,800 Before he created land 1410 01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:23,800 Are you understand that 1411 01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:25,800 Land first, tree come from the land 1412 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,800 Where he created everything 1413 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:29,800 Then he created man 1414 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:31,800 Because if you are not finished with the land 1415 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,800 And he created man, he wouldn't have seen where to place man 1416 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,800 It means that God took his time 1417 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:37,800 Although he was God, he took his time 1418 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,800 To build from the scratch 1419 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:41,800 That's how it is 1420 01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,800 Don't live for a life of Saul, live for a life of 1421 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,800 A life of David 1422 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,800 And like we were saying 1423 01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,800 Look at the Psalms that David wrote 1424 01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:53,800 When David was in trouble 1425 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:55,800 It was no news 1426 01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:57,800 He had been in the bush 1427 01:21:57,800 --> 01:21:59,800 When he was in a happy state, it was no news 1428 01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:01,800 He would sing Psalms unto God 1429 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,800 When he was in a lower state, he would still sing 1430 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:05,800 Psalms to God 1431 01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:07,800 So you don't bless God 1432 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:09,800 Thank you Father, bless you Lord 1433 01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:11,800 You are my God, you are my God, you are my God, you are my God 1434 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:13,800 Oh,

01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:55,800 Like the people who give birth 1853 01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:57,800 They give birth to three months 1854 01:37:57,800 --> 01:37:59,800 Or three months 1855 01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:01,800 So it's not about birth 1856 01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,800 I'm talking about a lifetime 1857 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,800 I'm not talking about the time 1858 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:07,800 I was born 1859 01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:09,800 I'm not talking about the time 1860 01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:11,800 I gave birth 1861 01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:17,800 You have the interpretation of my tongue 1862 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:21,800 Three months 1863 01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:23,800 You have given birth 1864 01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:25,800 And two weeks you are home 1865 01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:33,800 You will give back on Monday. Sunday you didn't come to church. What's wrong with you? My child is still small. 1866 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:43,800 You will give back on Friday. Sunday we will put the baby in a baby's court. We will come to church and celebrate in church. 1867 01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:53,800 Hallelujah! Yeah! You'll give back on Sunday streaming service whilst you are pushing. 1868 01:38:53,800 --> 01:39:01,800 Look at her. She thinks I'm kidding. 1869 01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:07,800 Where from these traditions that when you give back, you have to wait for 3 months before you come to church. 1870 01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:17,800 3! 90 something days. Will your name still be in the book of life? 1871 01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:29,800 90 days. Home! No soul, no prayer, no bible, no fasting, no nothing. Hey! You are in hell. You are not about to go to hell. You are there already. 1872 01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:37,800 Think about it. The cares of this world. You give back. 90 days you are home. 1873 01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:47,800 The unpartnerable sin. The unpartnerable sin Jesus spoke about. That is it. 1874 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:55,800 That is it. The unpartnerable sin is when you give back 3 months you are home. It's serious. 1875 01:39:55,800 --> 01:40:03,800 Serious. You give back 1 month you are home. Why? You marry and you are going for honeymoon. How many? 1 month. 1876 01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:11,800 You are going to have sex for 1 month. What's wrong with you? 1877 01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:23,800 Oh my God! The cares of this world. You marry on Saturday, Sunday you are in. If you want to go for honeymoon, Wednesday mid-week come. 1878 01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:29,800 What is so special about honeymoon? What is honeymoon? 1879 01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:37,800 A moon for honey. No. The cares of this world. 1880 01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:41,800 See the way the guy is looking at me. The cares of this world. I'm serious. That's what Jesus spoke about. 1881 01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:47,800 See somebody told Jesus to come and follow me and the person says that. 1882 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,800 Anacasu, he says go and bring the people. Go and tell them to come and have a party. 1883 01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:59,800 One of the excuses that I have married, I have freshly married. I have married a new, I have married my wife fresh. 1884 01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:07,800 So I have to spend time. It's in the Bible. Luke 14 or something like that I believe. 1885 01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:13,800 Yes. He said I have married fresh. Someone said I have bought a plot of land. I have to go and look at it. 1886 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:19,800 Someone says I have married fresh. So I have to spend time with my beloved, my love, my wife. 1887 01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:25,800 Spending time with your wife because you have married fresh is against the kingdom. 1888 01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:31,800 That's what the Bible says. And Jesus says okay if they will not come, go into the streets. 1889 01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:37,800 Bring the lane. Bring the main. It means that if you continue enjoying your wife by the time you come, we should take you off where you belong. 1890 01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:43,800 A cripple should fill the place. You know what that means? A cripple is more important than you to somebody. 1891 01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:53,800 Do you know what I'm talking about? A blind person is more important than somebody who has a relationship with the master. 1892 01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:59,800 And when the master was calling, he was enjoying marriage. That's what Jesus says. 1893 01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:05,800 He says bring them so that the house can be filled. Do you know what that means? When you come there will be no place for you. 1894 01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:13,800 You go there and I'm going to marry. Alright, you have married. Three months we are not seeing you. You are going for honeymoon. 1895 01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:19,800 Then you are on water. Then you are taking picture. Are you a kingdom person at all? 1896 01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:23,800 Say a man of God says I need to spend some time with my family. A man of God takes one month to leave. 1897 01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:29,800 We cannot reach him. His phones are off. Where is he going to? He's going to enjoy life with family. 1898 01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:43,800 Who told you if you are a man of God you have life? You don't have life. Jesus says these who are sitting here, they are my mothers, they are my fathers, they are my parents, they are my brothers, they are my children, they are my everything. 1899 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:51,800 Now that you are growing, these are the messages you need. And Jesus says when you see somebody do that, 1900 01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:59,800 the person really has a long standing faith. The person's faith is going to be sharp. 1901 01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:07,800 Come on. So you will not just get up and be raising the dead. Like water. Are you understanding that? 1902 01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:12,800 These are things, the cares of this world. The cares of this world. 1903 01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:27,800 You need to look at this. This is a sister who prays in tongues. A sister who loves the Lord. A sister. Then this is a more sheikh sister in church who doesn't really love the Lord like that. 1904 01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:40,800 Somebody said that I don't want a wife who is on fire. This is a pastor. He says I will not marry a lady who is on fire. I like a lady who is homely. 1905 01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:47,800 You don't like a lady that is on fire. You like a lady that is on water. 1906 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:53,800 Jesus says that those who are not born, except the man who is born of water and sweat, they shall not see the kingdom. 1907 01:43:53,800 --> 01:44:00,800 That statement that Jesus said, the interpretation is the person. He shall not see the kingdom. 1908 01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:07,800 You don't know how can you be a Christian, in fact a man of God, a preacher, and you don't want a lady that is on fire. 1909 01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:13,800 Say I don't want my lady to be on the forefront of ministry. You want the lady to be at the back of ministry. 1910 01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:18,800 What is wrong with you? What is your love life? Where are you going with it? 1911 01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:27,800 I don't want a lady on fire. I want a lady that says, ah! You say, ah! That's the lady I want. 1912 01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:38,800 I don't know. You see pastor, you are training people, using people for evangelism. Then his children are schooling in America. 1913 01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:44,800 When they come from America, they will come and sit in front. Not in my ministry. 1914 01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:50,800 As I am winning, you are winning. If you like, don't learn. Your prominence will be in church. 1915 01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:58,800 You can fail in your example, but you don't fail in God. See, it sounds very funny to you. 1916 01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:07,800 You don't know the church you are inside. Okay. Everybody's child will be a preacher. 1917 01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:15,800 Everybody. Your children will not go to school in America. And your Parukon people children will be there. 1918 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:25,800 No. Hallelujah. You will not. No, no, no, no. As we are moving, you are moving. 1919 01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:30,800 Hallelujah. Mosquitoes are biting. It's Friday. The moment you finish, you finish the week. 1920 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:34,800 Friday, if you are going to have Christians somewhere, you carry yourself. 1921 01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:39,800 Leave your assignment home. When you come, when they will beat you, you will be fine. 1922 01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:46,800 In the next 10, 20 years to come, you will not have such people, most of them in church. 1923 01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:52,800 Because it will be getting more lukewarm. So now is the time. 1924 01:45:52,800 --> 01:45:55,800 Yeah, now is the time. Do you know that our forefathers were ahead of us? 1925 01:45:55,800 --> 01:46:00,800 Their children, the way they treated their children. It's very different from how a lot of people are treating their children today. 1926 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:06,800 A pastor's son got involved with me and we were doing ministry. 1927 01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:12,800 The guy was praying, fasting, blah, blah. And the pastor says, I want you to do medicine. 1928 01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:15,800 Forget about church. You will not be a pastor. 1929 01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:24,800 How can a pastor advise his own child against ministry? 1930 01:46:24,800 --> 01:46:30,800 He said, when, when apostles' children are coming, the man is in pentacles. 1931 01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:35,800 When apostles' children are coming and they are saying, this one is in Australia, this one is in Canada, don't you... 1932 01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:39,800 Pastor! 1933 01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:43,800 You understand what I'm talking about? Yeah. 1934 01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:45,800 My child will do ministry. 1935 01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:51,800 And listen, I will not throw people's children to the culture to go and do ministry and throw my child to America. 1936 01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,800 No. 1937 01:46:54,800 --> 01:47:01,800 You will feel it. Everybody will have his own share of the cake. 1938 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:05,800 You will be to the culture and you will be to the north because you will stay closer to the anointing. 1939 01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:09,800 Go and die, we will bury you. 1940 01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:12,800 Hallelujah. The cares of this world. 1941 01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:20,800 And the next thing is that, and the deceitfulness of riches. 1942 01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:28,800 The unquenchable appetite for riches, the penchant for riches. 1943 01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:32,800 Covash Day. This is the word I'm telling you. 1944 01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:37,800 I will need to play this message, I will play this message even above any other lovely new creation message. 1945 01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:40,800 This is a real new creation message. 1946 01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:44,800 Penchant for money, penchant for wealth. 1947 01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:48,800 You have this insatiable appetite. 1948 01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:54,800 Now, you see, when you don't have money and you can't live, you have a tiny heart. 1949 01:47:54,800 --> 01:48:00,800 Faith cannot do well with you. Find another business. 1950 01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:07,800 If when you have money you are not complete, you begin to, it's like something is missing, you are shaking. 1951 01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:15,800 You can't do a lot with God. Stop all this, we are healing the sick and stuff like that. Just go and find. 1952 01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:20,800 You'll be fine. Collect coins, you'll be fine because you need money. 1953 01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:25,800 You can't serve God and still have appetite for wealth. 1954 01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:33,800 I want to say that again. You cannot be serving God and still have appetite for wealth. 1955 01:48:33,800 --> 01:48:37,800 I didn't say you can't serve God and not be wealthy. I know that's what you want me to say. 1956 01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:39,800 But I will not say that one. You cannot love God. 1957 01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:43,800 And Jesus said you can't serve God and mammon. You can't serve too much. 1958 01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:46,800 You can't serve God and money at the same time. 1959 01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:49,800 You will love the one and you'll leave the other. 1960 01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:55,800 So the love for wealth is the living of God. 1961 01:48:55,800 --> 01:49:01,800 A tiny heart. A heart with penchant for wealth. 1962 01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:05,800 And he says, listen, it's called the beseechfulness of riches. 1963 01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:13,800 Oh my goodness. First of all, in chapter 6, verse 10. Let's try in close. 1964 01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:32,800 Are you here with me everybody? 1965 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:37,800 For the love of money is the root of all evil. Continue. 1966 01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:52,800 When men were looking and converting after, were lasting after, I don't know if you have a different version. 1967 01:49:52,800 --> 01:50:06,800 Who has a different version? 1968 01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:09,800 The greedy desire for. What version is that? 1969 01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:21,800 Okay. 1970 01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:30,800 They have one debt. It means that the beseechfulness of riches, the end result of a tiny heart is what? 1971 01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:33,800 Wandering away from the faith. 1972 01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:37,800 That's what I'm telling you that you cannot have the love for money. 1973 01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:44,800 You can't, the beseechfulness of riches, you can't have that tiny heart and still be able to finish with faith. 1974 01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:48,800 Like how Paul would say, I have fought a good fight. 1975 01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:56,800 Alright. Then he says, I've kept the faith. You can't say at the end of your life you have kept the faith if you have a tiny heart. 1976 01:50:56,800 --> 01:51:01,800 Hallelujah. Come on. Hallelujah somebody. 1977 01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:05,800 So there are a lot of pastors with tiny hearts. 1978 01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:09,800 A lot of men of God with tiny hearts. There are a lot of pastors with tiny hearts. 1979 01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:11,800 What is tiny heart? 1980 01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:17,800 In the case of this world. In the case of the men of God who are in competition. 1981 01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:20,800 Silent competition. You see the way they talk. 1982 01:51:20,800 --> 01:51:24,800 Oh right now, the last time we sat about 470,000 people. 1983 01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:28,800 The last time we were checking our membership was 350,000 people. 1984 01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:32,800 And in America alone we are getting close to 1 million. But you know, it's all the grace of God. 1985 01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:37,800 It's all the grace of God. It's all the grace of God. And you are talking about it like that. 1986 01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:44,800 Even our own way of categorizing men of God shows that we have a tiny heart. 1987 01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:47,800 Who is a successful man of God today? 1988 01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:49,800 One with a big chain, many branches. 1989 01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:51,800 He is a very big man of God in this country. 1990 01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:56,800 A very big man of God we are talking about. The first ascension is not the word. 1991 01:51:56,800 --> 01:52:01,800 The first ascension is his church. 1992 01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:07,800 Oh, thanks be to God. When we started church we were really struggling. 1993 01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:09,800 Now we are very successful. We are very successful. 1994 01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:11,800 We have 20 million branches in the world. 1995 01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:21,800 And I'm telling you that the offering alone for one Sunday is 179 million dollars every Sunday. 1996 01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:23,800 And that's huge. That's huge. 1997 01:52:23,800 --> 01:52:26,800 The Lord has blessed this church. The Lord has blessed. 1998 01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:33,800 In this church we have doctors, we have lawyers, we have financial pundits, we have business gurus and muggles. 1999 01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:35,800 We have all kinds of people in this church. 2000 01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,800 This church is a big church.
