WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.439 Welcome to the NECF podcast where we share our 00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:05.820 weekly sermons and faithfully interpret the Bible 00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:08.300 to encourage and direct you on your spiritual 00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:11.500 path. We are our devoted pastors and special 00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:14.460 guests diving to the depths of the Bible exploring 00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:16.920 its profound lessons and useful applications 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.019 for your day. So one of the things that we are 00:00:20.019 --> 00:00:22.379 trusting the Holy Spirit to do in this season 00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:26.100 much more with our lives is that through our 00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:30.589 lives we will see Physical evidences. I think 00:00:30.589 --> 00:00:32.609 last Sunday we sang a song. Last Sunday, last 00:00:32.609 --> 00:00:37.570 two Sundays, he said, what you do is tangible, 00:00:37.829 --> 00:00:42.350 right? You are invisible, but your works are 00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:46.030 visible. And what you do are what? Tangible. 00:00:46.149 --> 00:00:50.429 Hallelujah. So God is invisible. He is dwelling 00:00:50.429 --> 00:00:55.289 in the believer. Hallelujah. Invisible. His works 00:00:55.289 --> 00:00:59.100 through the believer are visible. And whatever 00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:01.359 is happening to the believer, they are what? 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.599 Tangible. Hallelujah. There are things that can 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.439 be seen. Praise God. Hallelujah. There are things 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:10.280 that can be seen. There are things that can be 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.659 touched. There are things that can be confirmed. 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.760 Amen. That we pray for somebody and then cancer 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.879 goes and he goes and confirms the medical whatever 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.280 that has been given to him. Praise God. Very 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.439 tangible. He said, these signs shall follow them 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.859 that what? That believe. Signs are witnesses. 00:01:33.739 --> 00:01:37.939 They are tokens. So they follow the believer. 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.319 They attest the believer. Hallelujah. Say in 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.719 my name, you will speak in what? New tongues. 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.180 So we will hear you speak it. It's not going 00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:53.019 to be a spiritual thing that nobody will hear 00:01:53.019 --> 00:01:56.239 it. We will hear you speak it. I will not only 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.739 hear you speak it, But we will hear you bring 00:01:58.739 --> 00:02:01.480 revelation out of it because you will not only 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.599 speak in tongues, but you also interpret the 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.060 tongues. He said you lay hands on the sick and 00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:11.340 the sick will do what? Will get healed. So it 00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:13.639 will not be that I'm laying hands on the sick 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.080 and say I just transferred a spiritual healing 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.560 to you. Don't worry. You are already healed. 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:24.080 No. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. 00:02:24.909 --> 00:02:26.990 So we're praying. We'll just take another 10 00:02:26.990 --> 00:02:30.949 minutes.

In Jesus' 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:27.139 name. In the name of Jesus. Can we just sit briefly? 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.740 Let's quickly just do this so that we can have 00:07:29.740 --> 00:07:31.660 more time to pray and minister to one another. 00:07:38.410 --> 00:07:40.990 What we have is not really much, so I will try 00:07:40.990 --> 00:07:45.970 my best to make it snappy. Hallelujah. So that 00:07:45.970 --> 00:07:48.629 we can have much time to minister to one another. 00:07:48.769 --> 00:07:51.589 Praise God. You see, the things of the Spirit, 00:07:51.750 --> 00:07:55.649 they ride on practice. Hallelujah. The things 00:07:55.649 --> 00:07:57.430 of the Spirit, the manifestation of the things 00:07:57.430 --> 00:08:03.509 of the Spirit, right, happens much more and survives 00:08:03.509 --> 00:08:09.790 on what? On practice, daily practice. Yesterday 00:08:09.790 --> 00:08:14.149 I had a call with someone. I didn't know that 00:08:14.149 --> 00:08:18.089 the person yesterday morning had to pray about 00:08:18.089 --> 00:08:24.449 some things. So actually she had the prayers 00:08:24.449 --> 00:08:29.350 before she left a specific location. And then 00:08:29.350 --> 00:08:31.829 the Lord spoke to her about some certain things. 00:08:32.149 --> 00:08:36.419 And then she's now in a new location. Yesterday 00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:38.820 morning, she still prayed about the matter, took 00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:41.720 notes, and then wrote some certain instructions 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.860 and direction that the Lord had given her. Hallelujah. 00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:48.399 So one of the instructions that the Lord gave 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.519 her is that let her have an open heart towards 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.379 his plans and purposes. Praise God. So we got 00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:03.620 on a call and we started talking. And let me 00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:06.409 just use the word. The highlight of our discussion 00:09:06.409 --> 00:09:10.129 was that matter. In fact, that was the first 00:09:10.129 --> 00:09:13.110 thing I started talking about. I didn't have 00:09:13.110 --> 00:09:15.129 any prior information about all these things. 00:09:15.330 --> 00:09:17.490 But however, I noticed that the more I spoke, 00:09:17.590 --> 00:09:20.450 she was laughing. She was laughing and laughing 00:09:20.450 --> 00:09:23.350 and laughing and laughing and laughing. So after 00:09:23.350 --> 00:09:26.690 I finished speaking and I said something, I said, 00:09:26.789 --> 00:09:29.809 I don't even know why I'm even saying this. I'm 00:09:29.809 --> 00:09:32.289 stressing this matter. She was just laughing. 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.159 So after I finished, he now started telling me, 00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:38.559 actually, this is why she's laughing. And then, 00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:44.419 now it made sense to me. Hallelujah. Expect the 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:46.240 manifestation of the things of the Spirit in 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.960 your daily life, in your daily discussion, not 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.980 necessarily in such atmospheres. Expect the manifestation 00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:54.860 of the things of the Spirit in the school bus. 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.480 Expect the manifestation of the Spirit when you're 00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.580 talking with your mom. Expect the manifestation 00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:01.179 of the Spirit when you're talking with your dad. 00:10:01.669 --> 00:10:03.429 Expect the manifestation of the Spirit when you're 00:10:03.429 --> 00:10:05.549 talking with your husband. Expect the manifestation 00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:07.210 of the Spirit when you're talking with your wife. 00:10:07.470 --> 00:10:09.649 Expect the manifestation of the Spirit when you're 00:10:09.649 --> 00:10:11.529 talking with your children, when you're talking 00:10:11.529 --> 00:10:14.690 with your housemates. Expect it. There should 00:10:14.690 --> 00:10:18.409 not be any kind of spectacular atmosphere before 00:10:18.409 --> 00:10:21.269 the things of the Spirit are manifested. Hallelujah. 00:10:21.669 --> 00:10:24.750 In fact, let me put it this way. Expect the manifestation 00:10:24.750 --> 00:10:27.870 of the things of the Spirit in your regular dealings. 00:10:30.460 --> 00:10:34.700 Expect them. Hallelujah. The Spirit of the Lord 00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:38.019 in you does not have a switch on and switch off 00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:40.379 button that the only time it switches on is when 00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:43.200 you are in this place. When you move out of this 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.379 place, it switches off. When you are in your 00:10:46.379 --> 00:10:48.519 room, it switches off. When you are with your 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:53.279 friends, it switches off. No. In fact, let me 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.720 say it simply this way. Expect the manifestation 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.960 of the Spirit even as ordinary as chatting on 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.090 WhatsApp is. You can be chatting on somebody 00:11:01.090 --> 00:11:03.950 and suddenly the Spirit of the Lord will just 00:11:03.950 --> 00:11:07.450 put a prompting in your heart. And then the direction 00:11:07.450 --> 00:11:12.350 of the chat will now change. After you now talk 00:11:12.350 --> 00:11:15.370 and talk, and then the person just goes, this 00:11:15.370 --> 00:11:19.210 is the matter I have been praying for. Expect 00:11:19.210 --> 00:11:31.320 it. Desire it. Expect it. Desire it. Is that 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:39.179 going to work? Give me my tin after. Praise God. 00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:44.820 Hallelujah. Okay, so let's start this way. The 00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:51.299 things of the Spirit can be taught, can be learned, 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:56.059 and can be practiced daily. The things of the 00:11:56.059 --> 00:11:59.879 Spirit can be taught, can be learned, And can 00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:04.279 be practiced what? Daily. The things of the Spirit 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.019 can be taught. And that's what we have been receiving. 00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:09.580 Amen. They can be learned. That's what we've 00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:12.740 been enjoying. And they can be what? Practiced 00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:17.320 daily. That is why as much as possible as a local 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.720 church, we want to do as much as possible to 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:24.519 simplify it. That there is no any mystical thing 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.940 about it that is for all believers. Hallelujah. 00:12:27.769 --> 00:12:29.789 They can be taught, they can be learned, and 00:12:29.789 --> 00:12:32.529 they can be practiced what? Daily. Hallelujah. 00:12:33.370 --> 00:12:36.830 Amen?

How his desire 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.279 is intense regarding praying for people. In fact, 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.179 to the point he is calling home that if there 00:13:42.179 --> 00:13:44.580 is anybody sick, please, they should allot him. 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:52.659 Hallelujah.

You don't need to keep 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.019 at what your friend is writing. Just write five 00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:33.860 things. Even me, I ask, why is it that he's not 00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:36.559 seven? He's not 14. He's not 20. He's not 35. 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:45.779 Write five things. Hallelujah. Pastor Kostin, 00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:47.799 why are we writing? I don't know, but it will 00:14:47.799 --> 00:15:03.379 make sense in a little time. Yes, I'm giving 00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:05.279 us another additional two minutes to do that. 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.980 Somebody like Kolade, he said it's time for education 00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:17.279 now. To enjoy. You know? He gave us a parable. 00:15:22.730 --> 00:15:27.490 Five things. I think I kind of have an idea why 00:15:27.490 --> 00:15:31.490 we are doing this. I think we treated miracles, 00:15:31.649 --> 00:15:34.929 right? Working of miracles. We treated gifts 00:15:34.929 --> 00:15:39.190 of faith also. After a short while, we're going 00:15:39.190 --> 00:15:42.649 to agree together and pray. Make tremendous power 00:15:42.649 --> 00:15:45.789 available. Because we must have testimonies. 00:15:45.789 --> 00:15:47.149 With the things of the Spirit, you must have 00:15:47.149 --> 00:15:51.210 testimonies. It must be visible. I told a brother, 00:15:51.370 --> 00:15:54.700 I say, No, I don't want to be, when I have privileges 00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:57.240 to teach people, I don't want to say, you know, 00:15:57.299 --> 00:16:01.460 hey, hey, Alan. Oh, hey, Smith Rigglesworth. 00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:05.419 Oh, give me Scotland or I die. Oh, I don't want 00:16:05.419 --> 00:16:08.620 to be cutting all those people. Let it be that 00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:14.379 through my life also, the Holy Ghost manifested. 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.580 Hallelujah. I was led to lay hands on somebody 00:16:19.580 --> 00:16:23.559 that is dying. And Jesus healed the person instantly. 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.820 I saw a blind person and I was led with compassion. 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.240 I laid my hands on his eyes and the eyes opened. 00:16:32.820 --> 00:16:35.679 Because the more I see those testimonies, the 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:37.879 more my faith is stirred up. It's stirred up. 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.019 It's stirred up more, more, more, more, more. 00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:45.620 I know that God will always show up. What we 00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:48.299 are saying is not that you say, Oh, our pastor, 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.080 Pastor Fred. You know, Pastor Fred. And it's 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.259 not in Pastor Fred. And it's not in Pastor Fred. 00:16:53.340 --> 00:16:56.460 Why Pastor Fred is teaching us and we are learning 00:16:56.460 --> 00:16:59.279 is that so you too, you will say, Jesus walked 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.379 through my life. And this is it. Hallelujah. 00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:06.980 Have you written that? Have you written that? 00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:12.539 Okay, good. So, there's someone here. I will 00:17:12.539 --> 00:17:14.660 say this now and then we start. There's someone 00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:18.910 here. I just heard. In my heart, laughter, laughter 00:17:18.910 --> 00:17:23.710 for someone here. And I also added to it, I had 00:17:23.710 --> 00:17:27.049 watch your environment and be conscious to create 00:17:27.049 --> 00:17:30.910 a conducive atmosphere that makes you stay joyful. 00:17:31.690 --> 00:17:35.109 Hallelujah. And what I got in my heart was that 00:17:35.109 --> 00:17:38.650 this person throughout this year, it's like there 00:17:38.650 --> 00:17:41.450 was a flip from last year to this year. Last 00:17:41.450 --> 00:17:44.789 year, you had more experiences about. confusion, 00:17:45.109 --> 00:17:48.970 worry, depression, and suddenly this year there 00:17:48.970 --> 00:17:52.130 is a shift. Hallelujah. And one of the things 00:17:52.130 --> 00:17:54.609 I wrote here is that watch your environment, 00:17:54.750 --> 00:17:56.829 be conscious to create a conducive atmosphere 00:17:56.829 --> 00:18:01.349 that makes you stay joyful. Hallelujah. Glory 00:18:01.349 --> 00:18:04.509 to God. And then also I perceive in my heart 00:18:04.509 --> 00:18:07.950 someone here or your family or set of siblings, 00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:11.569 you are praying for an elder brother, right? 00:18:11.950 --> 00:18:14.859 Because I wrote here, You're praying for an elder 00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:17.240 brother and you people are praying for him for 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:20.640 stability. And one of the things I got also here 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.799 attached to it is they call him and pray for 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:28.480 him directly on the phone and tell him the Lord 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:32.940 preserves him and covers him. Hallelujah. Praise 00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:36.319 God. This person I'm speaking about is not a 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.819 Nigerian. I don't see this person as a Nigerian, 00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:46.099 no. Who is the person here? Please don't be shy. 00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:49.460 We're not exposing you or doing anything. Oh, 00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:54.740 glory to God at the back. And again, I got this 00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:58.619 now. Someone here, the desire for teaching, teaching 00:18:58.619 --> 00:19:01.319 God's words now, has increased, most especially 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:03.880 in these few days in your heart. And there has 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:05.980 been a strong prompting in your heart. Hallelujah. 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.299 Hallelujah. This one I know also you're here. 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.559 And I hear yield more to the teachings you are 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.250 receiving. And pay attention and continue in 00:19:16.250 --> 00:19:19.789 the things you have been taught. Hallelujah. 00:19:20.230 --> 00:19:23.670 Praise God. Two things are happening. There's 00:19:23.670 --> 00:19:25.730 a word of knowledge here and there's a word of 00:19:25.730 --> 00:19:29.269 wisdom. Praise God. Hallelujah. Something on 00:19:29.269 --> 00:19:32.410 the moment and something you should do. Amen. 00:19:32.930 --> 00:19:37.150 Your participation, active participation is important. 00:19:37.970 --> 00:19:41.670 Both the giver of the word and the receiver. 00:19:42.250 --> 00:19:47.170 or to actively what? Participate. Faith in obedience 00:19:47.170 --> 00:19:51.730 makes these things happen. You hear what I said? 00:19:52.089 --> 00:19:56.130 Faith in what? Obedience. They cannot or sometimes 00:19:56.130 --> 00:19:59.869 be logical to your mind. They may not make sense 00:19:59.869 --> 00:20:04.170 to your mind. Praise God. But after you start 00:20:04.170 --> 00:20:08.009 obeying or you obey, suddenly it will all add 00:20:08.009 --> 00:20:11.990 up. Amen? Dude, so the word of wisdom is not 00:20:11.990 --> 00:20:14.990 wisdom in the affairs of life. That's the last 00:20:14.990 --> 00:20:17.190 thing I ask us to write. The word of wisdom is 00:20:17.190 --> 00:20:22.009 not wisdom in the affairs of life. The word of 00:20:22.009 --> 00:20:24.029 wisdom is not wisdom in the affairs of life. 00:20:24.109 --> 00:20:29.049 You wrote that, right? Praise God. So, you know, 00:20:29.069 --> 00:20:32.990 often people will mix the word of wisdom, right, 00:20:33.089 --> 00:20:37.920 as instructions, the daily wisdom. They get many 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.240 a times or the simple wisdom they get in dealing 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.740 with their daily affairs. But simple wisdom in 00:20:44.740 --> 00:20:47.500 the affairs of life is not a spiritual gift. 00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:52.660 Praise God. For example, I've acquired a skill 00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:57.240 in carpentry. I'm saying real life now, not this 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:01.900 thing. Right? I'm giving a life, real life. I 00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:05.579 have a skill, acquired skill in what? In carpentry. 00:21:06.970 --> 00:21:12.609 Right? Amen? So, I needed nets to be fixed on 00:21:12.609 --> 00:21:16.750 our window. And I called a carpenter. The guy 00:21:16.750 --> 00:21:20.930 said, for the two windows, it's 8 ,000 TL. I 00:21:20.930 --> 00:21:23.869 called another one, my neighbor. He said that, 00:21:23.910 --> 00:21:26.049 oh, materials have not arrived. Materials have 00:21:26.049 --> 00:21:30.490 not arrived. Materials, you know. And the condition 00:21:30.490 --> 00:21:36.079 of our room is getting mold and the rest. I went 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.220 to the market. I went and bought wood. I bought 00:21:40.220 --> 00:21:45.039 net. I bought the screws that I need. I bought 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.299 saw. I had already taken my measurements. Bought 00:21:49.299 --> 00:21:57.119 all that I needed. Everything, one six. I did 00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.839 not pray. I did not fast. Everything, one six. 00:21:59.980 --> 00:22:03.980 That guy called what? Eight thousand. I came 00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:07.359 to the house. I check the window. How will I 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.279 fix it? I check it, check it. You know, my wife 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.220 was just looking at me. She says, you know, I 00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:16.480 finished. I put it the first. No, no, it's not. 00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:18.579 I brought everything, fixed everything down. 00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:23.220 I mounted it myself with her help, right? Yes, 00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:25.180 she's checking, I'm measuring, I'm cutting, I'm 00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:32.680 adjusting. Fixed it perfectly well. Solid. That 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:38.450 is not word of... So simple wisdom that you deal 00:22:38.450 --> 00:22:41.230 with daily affairs of life is not what? Word 00:22:41.230 --> 00:22:42.849 of wisdom. You know, what we are saying is not 00:22:42.849 --> 00:22:45.529 word of wisdom. So that when you receive a word, 00:22:45.710 --> 00:22:49.769 quickly you know, is this by the Spirit or this 00:22:49.769 --> 00:22:53.369 guy is just going into his archives of psychology 00:22:53.369 --> 00:22:57.210 and giving me something. Do you understand what 00:22:57.210 --> 00:23:01.329 I'm saying? Yes. Good. So now, let's read scripture. 00:23:01.569 --> 00:23:04.660 Joshua 1 .8. Now, everybody. Let's read scriptures. 00:23:05.019 --> 00:23:13.140 Joshua 1 .8 So simple wisdom for daily affairs 00:23:13.140 --> 00:23:15.980 of life is not what? It's not a spiritual gift. 00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:19.299 The Holy Spirit never needed to tell me how to 00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:23.579 fix the windows. No. I went to the factory where 00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:26.619 I worked, you know, but they didn't have the 00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:29.880 wood. So I have to return back for a seizing. 00:23:33.069 --> 00:23:36.089 Praise God. So please, if you are here, you are 00:23:36.089 --> 00:23:39.329 doing chabuk -chabuk, do not despise it. Do not 00:23:39.329 --> 00:23:43.029 throw it away. I started with coughing. Now I'm 00:23:43.029 --> 00:23:52.109 fixing windows. You know? Joshua 1 .8. Yes. This 00:23:52.109 --> 00:23:55.430 book of the law shall not what? Depart out of 00:23:55.430 --> 00:23:57.670 thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day 00:23:57.670 --> 00:24:00.250 and night that thou mayest observe to do according 00:24:00.250 --> 00:24:02.519 to all that is written therein. For then thou 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:06.339 shalt make thy way what? Prosperous. And then 00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:09.720 thou shalt have what? Good success. This is wisdom 00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:14.000 for daily living. For leadership. Hallelujah. 00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.859 Wisdom for what? For leadership. This is not 00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:23.980 word of wisdom. Praise God. I dwell daily in 00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:27.460 the law. I meditate on it. Out of it, I get a 00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:30.670 wisdom that daily. I deal with these children 00:24:30.670 --> 00:24:34.750 of Israelites, right? Successfully. Praise God. 00:24:35.069 --> 00:24:39.549 Are we all here? Good. Ecclesiastes chapter 10. 00:24:40.730 --> 00:24:45.609 Ecclesiastes chapter 10, verse 10. Mediathan, 00:24:45.690 --> 00:24:49.349 you can help us first. If the ax is what? Is 00:24:49.349 --> 00:24:54.569 dull and one does not what? Simple wisdom. An 00:24:54.569 --> 00:24:57.829 ax is dull. What do you do with it? You sharpen 00:24:57.829 --> 00:25:03.109 it. Then he must use more what? More strength. 00:25:03.190 --> 00:25:08.730 But wisdom brings what? Success. This is not 00:25:08.730 --> 00:25:13.789 word of what? Wisdom. Praise God. Is it clear 00:25:13.789 --> 00:25:18.430 so far? Good. Let's read another one again. 24, 00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:24.509 3 to 4. Ecclesiastes 24, 3 to 4. Ecclesiastes 00:25:24.509 --> 00:25:31.740 24. There's no 24? It's four, right? A proverb, 00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:36.099 sorry. Proverbs. Let me increase this. Proverbs 00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:42.779 24, 3 to 4. Through wisdom, a house is what? 00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:47.900 Is built, and by understanding it is what? Established. 00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:50.579 Next one. By knowledge, the rooms are filled 00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:54.059 with what? With all precious and what? And pleasant 00:25:54.059 --> 00:25:59.640 riches. Praise God. You don't need any word of 00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:06.039 wisdom. No. Simple wisdom for daily what? For 00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:11.220 daily living. Luke 14, 28. Let me add this for 00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:16.720 us. Luke 14, 28. For which of you intending to 00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:21.140 build a tower, but not what? Sit down and do 00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:25.779 what? And count the cost, whether he has what? 00:26:26.619 --> 00:26:43.339 Enough to do what? To finish it. The foundation 00:26:43.339 --> 00:26:47.740 will still be there. After you do all the ga 00:26:47.740 --> 00:26:52.259 -ga -ga -ga -ga, once you just do like this, 00:26:52.339 --> 00:27:03.910 it will grow the foundation. You hold your CGPA 00:27:03.910 --> 00:27:13.250 1 .2. It will not change. Simple wisdom for daily 00:27:13.250 --> 00:27:15.970 living is even though here there is no midnight 00:27:15.970 --> 00:27:18.289 candle. In Nigeria, we burn the midnight candle. 00:27:18.750 --> 00:27:21.809 You know? Yes. Here there is no midnight candle. 00:27:22.150 --> 00:27:24.589 So there is nothing to burn. Just stay under 00:27:24.589 --> 00:27:31.670 your bump. Thank you for listening to our sermon 00:27:31.670 --> 00:27:34.430 today.
