## Transcript

[0:00] Father, we honour you. Thank you for redeeming us and
[0:06] for washing us with your blood. We are here in your name.
[0:15] Thank you for redeeming us. Thank you that we are saved by
[0:22] grace. Thank you that we are seated in
[0:27] the heavenly places, that we are the righteousness of God in
[0:32] Christ Jesus. For the many blessings, the gift
[0:37] of life, for your glory that leads in us.
[0:41] We want to say thank you. We bless you Lord, for you, our
[0:45] God the King of glory. We will sing Hallelujah till you
[0:52] come again. You are so beautiful and we
[0:56] thank you this morning. Our hearts are before you.
[1:02] Inscribe on the tablets of our hearts by word, and as we with
[1:09] an unveiled face, behold us in the mirror the glory of God.
[1:13] Bring us transformation by Your Spirit.
[1:16] Speak to us, for unto Him that is able to do exceedingly
[1:20] abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power
[1:23] that worketh in US. Thank You, Lord, that the eyes
[1:27] of understanding are enlightened, that we will know
[1:30] what is the hope of Your calling, and what are the riches
[1:32] of the glory of Your inheritance in the sins.
[1:36] What is the exceeding greatness of Your power to us?
[1:38] What were believed? Fill us with the knowledge of
[1:41] Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that we
[1:45] will walk worthy of view unto all, pleasing, bearing fruit in
[1:49] every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,
[1:51] strengthened with might unto all patients, joy and
[1:56] long-suffering. We give you praise and we thank
[1:58] you that we will never be the same again.
[2:01] You are Lord in this building. You are Lord at the gates.
[2:04] You are Lord over the walls. You are Lord in this auditorium.
[2:08] Thank you for your angels that are with us here.
[2:13] Thank you for your spirit that is here to open our hearts and
[2:15] our minds like you did to Lydia in the book of Acts.
[2:19] We thank you, Father, that our hearts will submit to you and it
[2:22] will not be hardened that we will look like you, become like
[2:26] you, talk like you in Jesus name, Amen.
[2:31] Please be seated in the heavenly places.
[2:34] You're welcome to Transformation service, which is our first
[2:40] service. I believe so strongly that your
[2:44] life will never be the same again.
[2:47] Hallelujah. So we began to teach on a very
[2:56] important series which I titled The Progress of Salvation.
[3:01] And the purpose of this teaching is to make us understand the
[3:05] full detail of the intent of God in saving us.
[3:11] Hallelujah. So we began to look at the first
[3:16] aspect of salvation, which we called what forgiveness, say
[3:22] forgiveness again, say forgiveness.
[3:28] And then we got to understand that in Christ Jesus we have
[3:33] been forgiven, not according to the riches of our confession,
[3:38] but according to the riches of his grace.
[3:41] The Bible says in the book of Ephesians, chapter one, verse 7,
[3:44] the Bible says in whom we have redemption through his blood,
[3:49] the forgiveness of sins. We explained some very wonderful
[3:54] truths on the power forgiveness, and then we came to the next
[3:58] progress of salvation, which we call righteousness.
[4:01] And we first began by saying that righteousness is not first
[4:05] of all doing right. We said righteousness is first a
[4:09] gift, is a gift that we receive from God when we believe in
[4:15] Jesus. In Romans chapter 5, the verse
[4:17] 17, the Bible says as many as receive the abundance of grace
[4:22] and the gift of righteousness, they shall reign in life through
[4:26] the one Jesus. So in the New Testament
[4:30] righteousness is a person, it is imputed and it is imparted.
[4:37] In Ephesians chapter 4 the verse 24, the Bible says we are
[4:41] created in true righteousness and holiness.
[4:45] When you read the book of Philippians chapter 3 the verse
[4:48] 9, the Bible says that being found in him not having our own
[4:52] righteousness, which means there is a possibility of you
[4:56] depending on your own righteousness as a source of
[4:59] living the Christian life. But the Bible says that rather
[5:03] we should. The Bible says, but that which
[5:06] is true faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by
[5:10] faith. So we understood that
[5:13] righteousness is received by faith in Romans chapter 3 verse
[5:18] 20. The Bible says therefore by the
[5:20] deeds of the law no flesh shall be justified, for by the law is
[5:25] the knowledge of sin. So nobody becomes righteous
[5:28] because it obeyed the law or the 10 commandments in the Old
[5:32] Testament. For you to become righteous, you
[5:33] have to obey the full detail of the law and no man, no man
[5:38] obeyed fully the requirements of the law.
[5:41] So now God has to impute it as a gift when you believe or place
[5:47] your confidence in the work of Jesus.
[5:49] Are we following this? So in Romans chapter 3, verse
[5:53] 21, he says, but now a righteousness of God apart from
[5:59] the law. So there's a righteousness a man
[6:03] can receive apart from the law and the Bible says, which is
[6:09] witnessed by the Lord and the prophets, which means that when
[6:11] you read Genesis to Malachi, you will notice that there are
[6:13] detailed revelations about righteousness that we receive
[6:17] when we believe or place our confidence in Christ.
[6:21] Are you following me? An example is that of Cain and
[6:24] Abel. The Bible tells us that both of
[6:26] them brought a sacrifice. 1 was justified, 1 was rejected.
[6:31] One when Sunday school, we're told that Kay's offering was
[6:35] rejected because he brought Rotten Tomatoes.
[6:39] If you're a Sunday school teacher, you never teach that
[6:41] again. The product that Cain brought
[6:45] was very good fruit, but the problem was that it was coming
[6:48] from a case ground. Remember when man saying God did
[6:51] not kiss man? He says cast is the ground for
[6:54] your sake. So the ground was cast, and King
[6:57] produced good fruit out of a case.
[7:01] Ground is the same with us without Christ.
[7:04] Any work that you do from your strength that is not proceeding
[7:08] from God may be good works, but actually is dead works, because
[7:13] any good work you will produce must come from the strength of
[7:16] God. Are you following?
[7:17] So any man without Christ, anything he produces out of him
[7:22] is coming from a curse. So Cain is representing man
[7:27] trying to bring or offer something good from that which
[7:32] is cursed. Are you following?
[7:35] Are you following? Abel was a shepherd.
[7:39] What did he bring? He brought what an offering from
[7:43] a lamb, blood sacrifice. And God accepted him and gave
[7:49] King the opportunity for him to also come to the same means to
[7:54] tell us that man can only be accepted and justified through
[7:59] the blood of the Lamb of God. So the justification and the
[8:05] righteousness of Abel came through the blood sacrifice
[8:09] typifying Christ. We will only be accepted and
[8:13] justified on the basis on our faith in the blood of Jesus.
[8:17] Are you following? Not in our strength?
[8:22] So we said righteousness is a gift from God.
[8:25] Then we said it is very possible to know that you have made,
[8:28] you've been made righteous by faith and just mess up by that
[8:32] revelation. So we explained that there is
[8:35] 1/3 progress of salvation, which we call what sanctification.
[8:43] So this is what the believer begins to position himself in a
[8:47] place where he is no longer contaminated by the corruptions
[8:51] of the world. The Bible tells us in the book
[8:56] of Second Corinthians Chapter 7, the verse one, the Bible says,
[8:59] therefore now let us cleanse ourselves.
[9:03] It says having these promises, dearly beloved, let us what?
[9:07] Cleanse what ourselves from the filthiness of the flesh and
[9:14] spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
[9:17] So there is an instruction for the believer to cleanse himself.
[9:22] You know, sometimes in a grace community, the balance says no,
[9:24] no, no, we already sanctified, we already cleansed by the blood
[9:26] of Jesus. Yes, that is the positional
[9:29] aspect of your cleansing. But on account of your position,
[9:34] God has given you what it takes to live a cleansed life.
[9:38] Are you following? And I began to explain to you
[9:40] that there are things that we do to cleanse ourselves.
[9:43] Number one is the Word of God Ephesians chapter 5 to verse 26
[9:48] that it might sanctify and cleanse it by the washing of
[9:51] water by the word. So the word of God is a
[9:53] cleansing agent. The more you you stay under the
[9:57] word, the more you listen to the word of God, the more you
[10:01] cleanse yourself. Are you following in first John
[10:13] chapter 3, the verse 3, the Bible says, and every man that
[10:21] has this hope in him purified himself.
[10:24] So this is the responsibility of the believer on account of his
[10:28] position to sanctify himself. Are we following now?
[10:33] So we came to the third progress of salvation, which we call
[10:36] what? Oh, this class is weak.
[10:38] We call what consecration. Now in forgiveness you received
[10:44] it from God. In righteousness you received it
[10:49] from God. Even in sanctification, there's
[10:54] an aspect of sanctification that was done for you.
[11:00] But in consecration it is no longer what you receive, but
[11:03] what you give to the Lord. Are you following?
[11:06] So in Christianity or in salvation, we began by
[11:10] receiving. We end by giving.
[11:16] So we said that consecration is dedicating yourself to the Lord,
[11:23] devoting yourself to God. It is you making arrangements on
[11:29] account of God's word to give yourself to the Lord.
[11:38] Are we following what I'm teaching them?
[11:41] So we also explained that consecration is what will keep
[11:47] the believer from backsliding, because without consecration you
[11:54] become a loose cannon. They are the cultures that you
[12:07] keep around you to protect your work with God.
[12:12] The other systems you build around that becomes culture.
[12:17] You build systems through the Word of God.
[12:19] You find out in the Word of God. OK, here's what the word of God
[12:22] says. So now what you see in the Word
[12:24] of God becomes a system, and that system gradually becomes a
[12:29] culture, a belief system you live by.
[12:36] So they protect you from the devil's traps.
[12:41] They enable you to find a framework from which you can be
[12:45] able to give yourself to Jesus effectively without an
[12:49] impediment. I'm teaching good here.
[12:51] Are you letting? So now we began to explain some
[12:54] few details about consecration. So we started by saying that
[12:59] there are #1 levels of consecration #1 is what?
[13:04] General consecration. Please tell somebody general
[13:07] consecration. And I said general consecrations
[13:11] are consecrations. The word of God has given us
[13:14] January generally. The other consecrations every
[13:21] believer must commit themselves to.
[13:28] And we began to explain and we said the first aspect of general
[13:33] consecration is what? What this class is becoming so
[13:39] weak is what I can't hear you purity.
[13:46] That is the first general consecration.
[13:51] Every believer is supposed to leave Peel and we said #2 is
[13:57] what service? The second aspect of general
[14:01] consecration is your service to God.
[14:04] And I've explained to you last two weeks, we said that in the
[14:07] Bible there are only three categories of virtues that makes
[14:13] a believer great. 3 #1 is what? Humility.
[14:23] The one who humbles himself like one of these children is the
[14:25] greatest. That's what the Bible says #2 is
[14:29] love. Three things abide, faith, hope,
[14:33] love. But love is what the greatest.
[14:38] Then #3 is service. Whoever serves, the Bible says
[14:45] he is the greatest. So now watch it.
[14:48] Anybody who is humble is great in heaven.
[14:52] Anyone who loves is great in heaven and anyone who serves is
[14:56] great in heaven. So if you want to define
[14:59] greatness is love, humility, and service.
[15:07] I get in this then #3 under general consecration is what is
[15:19] integrity. We said integrity is wholeness,
[15:24] soundness, honesty. I gave you some practical
[15:30] examples last week. I'm going to follow up then #4
[15:34] is devotion to intimacy. That's a general consecration.
[15:39] Every believer must be devoted to intimacy with God.
[15:42] You must build your relationship with God.
[15:44] You don't joke with morning devotion.
[15:47] It's a general consecration. You know, in the old now, we
[15:50] call these things a cake. Legalism.
[15:53] There was NBNB, no Bible, no breakfast.
[15:59] These were the things that saved our mothers, our fathers.
[16:06] They had some strict consecrations for their
[16:08] devotions. No matter what you read your
[16:12] Bible after, people that look Muslims pray.
[16:15] Whether they are sad or not, they are.
[16:17] Five times a day every true dedicated Muslim will pray.
[16:20] Whether he's happy or sad. Five times you pray.
[16:24] There was a man that did a video of of a Muslim driver who was
[16:27] driving. Air conditions were going to
[16:29] supply somewhere. When the time was up he stopped
[16:31] the counter way and told the man to wait.
[16:34] He went to pray and the man was angry so he took a video to
[16:37] insulting. But that should tell you how
[16:41] committed and devoted that this man is to his God.
[16:47] Unfortunately, Christians pray only when they're happy.
[16:52] We pray only when all is well. Unfortunately, what has been
[16:57] taught about prayer is that when you pray, when you ask, God will
[17:01] give you what you want. But prayer is beyond getting
[17:04] what you want. Prayer is building relationship
[17:07] with God, which is why prayer has worship, it has
[17:11] Thanksgiving, it has brokenness. While you mess up, you go to God
[17:18] and tell him you are sorry. This is all part of prayer,
[17:21] sincerity, intercession. So it's it's a full relationship
[17:30] with Bill. So we must be committed to the
[17:33] consecration of what daily devotion to Jesus Christ is the
[17:37] consecration. Look, morning devotion, quiet
[17:40] time is a very powerful thing. It's a very powerful thing.
[17:47] You don't take it for granted then #5 is what Sacrifice.
[17:55] Every believer must be committed to sacrificing for the Lord.
[18:00] Sacrifice is giving up things for the Lord.
[18:07] And you see, we will need to find out from believers, since
[18:11] you became born again, what have you given up for the Lord?
[18:18] Because we know you are growing, but the level of sacrifices you
[18:21] make for Jesus, We know you are growing, but the level of
[18:25] sacrifices you're making for Jesus.
[18:34] Hallelujah. Then number 2 is what we call
[18:40] what stewardship steel worship. And we say stewardship basically
[18:53] means what management. We have explained that every
[18:58] believer is a steward. In other words, every believer
[19:01] is a manager. You don't need to be working in
[19:05] a company onto your promoter to become a manager before you
[19:08] realize you're a manager. Everybody is a manager.
[19:16] Every Shard of gold is a manager.
[19:23] Are you here with me? Are you learning something?
[19:31] So we said Christian stewardship is utilizing and managing of all
[19:36] resources God provides for the glory of God and the betterment
[19:40] of His Christian. We also said that it regards the
[19:44] obligation of Christians managing and utilizing
[19:48] intelligently the gifts that God has given to them.
[19:55] A steward is basically a caretaker.
[19:58] You noted that that right, All right.
[20:01] So we also said that stewardship is commitment of oneself and
[20:06] possessions to God, service, recognizing that what we do,
[20:12] that what we do not have, that we do not have the right of
[20:16] control over our property and ourselves.
[20:21] So now we begin to look at stewardship and today we want to
[20:28] continue with stewardship. So today's message, there are 4
[20:34] principles of stewardship that every child of God must
[20:38] understand according to the book of Matthew chapter 25.
[20:43] Let's see from the verse 16 Matthew chapter 25 Now the
[20:48] bamboo says then he had received all right, come to the verse 14
[20:57] all right, Are you ready? Are you ready All right.
[21:02] So the bamboo says for the Kingdom of heaven is as a man
[21:07] traveling, please pay attention. You will learn a lot today.
[21:10] It's as a man traveling into a far country who called his own
[21:15] what is on what, Oh my God, who got his own, please go in church
[21:22] who called his own servants and delivered unto them what?
[21:27] Oh, so this is we should be learning some principles here.
[21:31] I'm going to be teaching you not the word servants and not the
[21:35] word He's good. Next verse and on to 1.
[21:44] He gave how many 5 talents on to another two and to another one
[21:51] to every man according to his several ability.
[21:56] What you can do. So God gives gives the talents
[22:00] based on what he has realized you can do.
[22:06] Not because God is is is practicing favoritism.
[22:09] He gave it to them according to their several abilities and
[22:12] straight away took his journey and look at that now, he says
[22:18] then he had then he he that had received 5 talents went and
[22:24] traded, worked with the same and made what another 5 level 17?
[22:36] And likewise he that had received the two also gained
[22:40] other two. Thank you very much, Glass.
[22:43] But he that had received one went and digged the earth, and
[22:48] hid his his his his Lords money. Next verse.
[22:58] After a long time the Lord of those servants cometh and
[23:02] reconnect with them as accountability.
[23:05] Next Verse. And so he that had received 5
[23:08] talents came, and brought the other five, saying, Lord, thou
[23:10] delivers unto me 5 talents. Behold, I have gained beside
[23:13] them five talents more. Next Verse His Lord said unto
[23:20] him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant, Thou has been
[23:23] faithful over a few things. I will make the ruler unto her
[23:27] many things, and thou into the joy of the Lord.
[23:36] Next verse He that have received 2 talents came and said, Lord,
[23:42] thou delivers unto me two talents.
[23:44] Behold, I've gained two other talents beside them.
[23:48] His Lord said unto them unto him, Well done, good and
[23:52] faithful. Notes that word. 7th Notes that
[23:55] word. Thou has been faithful over a
[23:58] few things. I will make the ruler over many.
[24:02] So you see that many came as a result of faithfulness in those
[24:07] of you want to do big things. This is your secret.
[24:09] All right, he says, I will make the ruler over many things.
[24:17] Enter into the joy of thy Lord. Next verse.
[24:23] Then he which have received one talent came.
[24:26] Listen to the language and said, Lord, I knew that thou art a
[24:30] hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where
[24:35] thou was not strong. I was afraid, and went and hit
[24:42] thy talent in the earth. Lo, thou hast that is dying.
[24:50] In other words, his Lord answered and said unto him, Thou
[24:57] what? Look at the context of measuring
[25:00] wickedness. By the time we are done with the
[25:02] teaching, we will know whether you were a wicked man or not.
[25:06] He says, Thou wicked, and what lazy slothful servant thou
[25:11] newest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I've not
[25:15] strode. Thou authors therefore have have
[25:20] put my money, my money to the exchanges, and then at my coming
[25:25] I should have received my own. With what usually next verse.
[25:30] Take therefore the talent from Him.
[25:33] What did he do? Take it from Him, and give it to
[25:36] the one which had 10 talents. All right.
[25:43] Principles of stewardship. Ready #1 Principle is the
[25:50] principle of ownership. I'm not the principle of
[25:59] ownership. Remember, nothing belongs to
[26:02] you. You are never an owner.
[26:07] You are not an owner. Every steward must have this
[26:13] principle behind him. I am not an owner.
[26:16] Can you say that loudly one more time?
[26:21] For the last time, you are not an owner.
[26:25] I said no, I'm not talking about somebody who is not a Christian.
[26:29] If you were a Christian, these are the principles you live by.
[26:33] Are you following? I heard one, I mean one of our
[26:37] pastors, he had a boss. He told him that he went biggest
[26:40] come and asked him for money. He tells that I cannot work hard
[26:44] and and give my heart and money to poor people.
[26:53] The first principle of stewardship is the principle of
[26:56] ownership. You are not an owner.
[26:58] Who is the owner? God.
[27:00] That's how you think as a child of God.
[27:02] Look, if you're not thinking this way, you're not thinking
[27:05] right. You see, the Christian must have
[27:09] a philosophy by which he thinks, and the philosophy comes from
[27:12] the Word of God. The Word of God builds your
[27:14] philosophy, your mode of thinking, your your fullnesses,
[27:21] your intelligence, your spiritual intelligence, your
[27:24] wisdom, your mindset. You are not an owner.
[27:30] Look, this phone, I bought it, but it's not for me.
[27:34] You know what it means? It means the dead.
[27:36] God says, all right, give this phone out to this person because
[27:42] I don't think as an owner, it should not bother me.
[27:45] I don't know if you get what I'm saying.
[27:47] Because God can transfer things He has committed to you as a
[27:52] steward at any time. If you think as an owner, it
[27:57] will become impossible for God to do that.
[28:00] So if you work for 21 days and you receive salary, does it
[28:04] belong to you? Aha, I realize the nose has come
[28:08] down. I'm teaching you the word of
[28:11] God, the Christian life. So now the basic mindset of the
[28:18] believer is that the money belongs to me.
[28:20] That's why you can't even give 10%, let alone 50% because I
[28:24] said no, I, it's my, it's my money.
[28:26] That principle of mine, mine. Mine is corruption is death.
[28:34] Look, one of the ways of noticing that you're growing is
[28:38] how selfless you're becoming. Because you see, the first
[28:43] evidence of the fall was that man became conscious of himself.
[28:46] I am naked. That's when greed and
[28:48] selfishness become consciousness of himself.
[28:51] If you take a group photo and they give the photo to you, who
[28:53] do you look first? It's the four.
[28:57] The four caused it. The four caused it.
[29:05] If you are doing buffet and it's left with three chicken, two
[29:08] small, one big, and you're the one who's left to take, which
[29:11] one will you take? The big one, the four, the four.
[29:22] If a house is burning and there's there is four people
[29:26] that must come out and then there's only one available
[29:30] opening for only one person to survive who will come out first.
[29:39] That's the principle of the fall.
[29:42] Selfishness. That's not interest.
[29:45] It came from the fall. So the principle that I own
[29:54] things is corruption. You are not an owner.
[30:00] Now, one little natural evidence that you are not an owner is
[30:06] that when you die, have you noticed that you don't go with
[30:08] your land? All the wealth that you got it,
[30:14] somebody else would open. Think about it.
[30:20] So the the the entitlement, my house, my money, my account.
[30:29] It's all bogus language. When you go 6 feet, you realize
[30:35] that you had documentation. I didn't have long life.
[30:41] Are we following this? Your phone will be used by
[30:43] someone else. Even if you have a password,
[30:46] they would, they would decode it.
[30:49] If you go to circle, they will break the code.
[30:54] So even this natural principle of death that ends your
[30:58] ownership, if you are ownership conscious that ends it, somebody
[31:01] else will use it. So look, the safest way of
[31:07] living is to think I'm not an owner, I'm only a caretaker.
[31:13] Listen to me carefully when we understand this.
[31:16] When you have a wife, you are a caretaker of that wife.
[31:22] When you have children, you are a caretaker of the children
[31:26] because you are preparing them for another man.
[31:37] Are you learning? So how you managed your house is
[31:48] stewardship. How you managed your finances is
[31:52] stewardship. How you manage your children is
[31:55] stewardship. There was a young man, a case
[32:04] that happened of a young man that became a homosexual.
[32:17] It started by this. He had a sister in the house and
[32:26] one day he chanced on ACD when he was cleaning his father's
[32:30] room. And the CD has separated itself
[32:34] from all the C DS. So the guy wanted to.
[32:39] I mean what CD is this? What is on the that?
[32:41] He inserted ACD and noticed it was photography and started
[32:44] watching it. Soon his sexual passions began
[32:48] to arouse and he called the kid sister and started showing the
[32:52] video to the kid sister. The kid sister also watched and
[32:55] one day over the years they started sleeping together.
[33:00] It's a true story. The case is that grows up, gets
[33:09] married and apparently still dating a brother and got
[33:14] pregnant for the brother. Who's to be blamed?
[33:24] Can somebody tell me from the back?
[33:27] Can someone tell me who's to be blamed?
[33:29] Why, if the father was a good caretaker, he wouldn't have
[33:36] risked his children by being a pornography addict left alone to
[33:42] leave ACD around. So it was one CD that produced
[33:47] incest. I'm teaching us about Stew
[33:53] washing, our actions, our evidence of the kind of Stew
[33:57] washing patterns that we're using.
[34:01] So your children will be beneficiaries of how well you
[34:05] steward the manifold grace of God.
[34:07] I'm teaching good. Oh, you listen to this teaching
[34:11] to bless you, to change your life.
[34:18] Where was I before we moved here?
[34:23] What principle of stewardship #1 is the principle of ownership?
[34:30] I don't own anything, belongs to God.
[34:39] Second principle is the principle of responsibility.
[34:50] Remember, they were supposed to work with the talents given to
[34:55] them. Hard work is very important.
[35:03] Responsibility is very important.
[35:06] They were supposed to work with the talent given to them.
[35:09] Don't be a lazy Christian. Don't be a lazy Christian.
[35:15] I speak of laziness. Laziness everywhere in your
[35:18] life. Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping.
[35:22] You don't learn. You don't educate yourself right
[35:25] now. There's knowledge everywhere.
[35:27] You just have to type something. But yet people are still lazy.
[35:33] You have a gift on you. You are not preparing yourself
[35:36] with this gift. You want to be a president.
[35:38] You don't know anything about politics.
[35:44] You want to be a lawyer. You have never studied anything
[35:47] about law. You are just waiting for them to
[35:48] take you out. Macola look right on the way the
[35:55] world has they come. Now God is looking for agents in
[36:00] every department of this world. Agents.
[36:04] You know, Sitter has agents everywhere.
[36:07] In the barbering shop he has agents, oil companies, he had
[36:10] agents, Food and Agriculture, He has agents everywhere.
[36:15] God wants to have agents everywhere.
[36:18] So we come to church. This one is a Baba, this one is
[36:22] a market seller, this one is a doctor, this one is a lawyer.
[36:27] And then we move out when we empowered after every service to
[36:30] go and influence. So we must be skilled at what
[36:35] you do. Look, you must be in.
[36:37] Do you know that even Satan does not use the bomb bomb people,
[36:39] even Satan, even Satan will not use you if you're not good at
[36:51] what you do. I follow me.
[36:55] You just check these people in Illuminati and the rest,
[36:59] Charlie, those guys sure, sharp. And look, you don't need to go
[37:07] to school to be intelligent. That's the truth.
[37:09] There are people who have never entered classroom, but they are
[37:11] sharp and smart. Are you following me?
[37:15] Yes. So we must work hard.
[37:23] Does somebody work hard? The gifts God has given to you,
[37:27] use them well. I've told you several times, Use
[37:33] them well. You're a graphic designer?
[37:38] Use it well. Photographer.
[37:40] Use it well. Singer at church, Use it well.
[37:47] Learn. Have you ever been bored at any
[37:50] of my teachings before? No, no, no.
[37:52] You will be blessed in every meeting.
[37:54] I've prophesied it. But this one's not just profess
[37:56] you. I can tell you I'm a student in
[37:59] my library, I have over 5000 books, always reading something.
[38:06] I'm a learner, I'm a devourer of materials.
[38:13] So look, don't be a mediocre in every area that you you find
[38:20] yourself in. Be the best at what you do.
[38:23] Please tell somebody be the best at what you do.
[38:27] Look, God is God is looking for people who are the best at what
[38:30] they do. Yeah, the way you are watching
[38:36] reels, you're wasting too much time.
[38:38] Learn, increase knowledge. Be skillful at what you do.
[38:45] Try new things. Be good at what you do.
[38:47] Work hard. That's somebody work hard for.
[38:50] Number 3 is the principle. Are you ready?
[38:53] Offer accountability. The third principle of
[38:57] stewardship is accountability. Remember, the master gave them
[39:02] the talents, told them to work, and then he travelled.
[39:05] At a point he came back and called all of them.
[39:07] What did you do with what I gave you?
[39:09] What did you do with what I gave you?
[39:14] OK, so you're a hairdresser. How many people you who you
[39:17] touch their hair, came to church, were born again?
[39:27] You were a teacher at school, You had 40 children in your
[39:32] class? How many people got born again?
[39:42] Are you here with me in your office?
[39:45] How many did your life influence?
[39:47] How many people did you speak about Christ?
[39:53] You, you are an Uber driver. How many people who sat in your
[39:57] car had the gospel? One of our members, he will
[40:01] always be putting my sermons in the car permanently.
[40:08] And anybody who sits in the car, you know, my message is once you
[40:10] listen to my message, anything you are doing, you stop and
[40:12] listen to it. We've received testimonies.
[40:14] There are people who play it in their rooms and people who are
[40:16] passing by here and then you're stuck and they're listening to
[40:19] it. Do you know NASA an evangelism?
[40:25] How well did you use your field of influence, landlord?
[40:31] How well? The principle of accountability
[40:37] states that you will want this time before Jesus to give an
[40:41] account of what you did with the life.
[40:46] He gave you the time. He gave you the gift.
[40:49] He gave you the influence. He gave you the opportunity.
[40:52] He gave you the wealth. He gave you the wife, He gave
[40:55] you the husband. He gave you the children.
[40:57] He gave you the position He gave you.
[40:59] You will stand before Jesus and give an account.
[41:08] I wanted to use it. Jesus Christ.
[41:19] The 4th principle of stewardship is the principle of reward.
[41:24] The principle of reward He said, Thou good and faithful servant,
[41:34] He says, because you are faithful in little receive many,
[41:39] many, many enter into the joy of your Lord.
[41:46] You will be rewarded for how you stewarded the manifold grace of
[41:51] God as the 4th principle. If you live by these 4
[41:55] principles, it will affect everything I have to do as a
[41:57] Christian. Number one is the principle of
[42:00] ownership. Nothing belongs to you.
[42:04] Even your title, your degree program, it does not belong to
[42:07] you #2 is the principle of responsibility.
[42:14] You must work hard with what God gives to you #3 is the principle
[42:18] of accountability. You are going to stand before
[42:21] Jesus to give an account of what you did with your life, your
[42:23] time, your position, your wealth.
[42:25] And #4 is the principle of what reward you will be rewarded
[42:32] right? You learn something good.
[42:35] So now I'm going to be teaching you 5 main areas of stewardship.
[42:39] Because if if pastor is talking about stewardship, in which
[42:44] areas must I be a good steward as a Christian?
[42:50] And what I'm teaching you is not management principles.
[42:52] Everything I'm teaching you here are Bible principles.
[42:55] I don't teach management. I don't teach motivation.
[43:00] These are principles in the Bible.
[43:02] When you read the Bible, you'll find these principles there 5
[43:05] areas of stewardship. Are you ready?
[43:08] Are you ready all right now number one is the stewardship of
[43:13] time. Stewardship of time.
[43:17] Remember in Ephesians chapter 5, the verse 17, if I come to the
[43:27] verse 16, he says redeeming the time.
[43:32] Now this is New Testament epistle.
[43:35] The Bible tells us to make good use of every opportunity, so
[43:39] it's just redeeming the time. Because the days are evil.
[43:42] Look, we don't have time. Satan is busy.
[43:49] The Christian must not joke. Give time to me in NRT.
[43:53] Let's get further. Let's go further.
[43:57] NRT, let's wait together. 12GO make the most, make the most of
[44:08] every opportunity. TPT quickly, please.
[44:14] TPT TPT efficiency 516 TPT All right, I'm patient with you.
[44:36] Don't be. There's no efficiency 516 in TPT
[44:45] message translation. Let's go message translation.
[44:55] Make the most of every chance you get.
[45:00] These are desperate times. Look at the verse 17.
[45:05] Don't what? Live carelessly, unpinkingly.
[45:10] Make sure you understand what the master wants.
[45:19] So the Bible tells us to redeem the time redeem time.
[45:24] So the first area of stewardship is stewardship of what time
[45:29] amplified version before we go into some few details.
[45:37] Therefore the verse 16 please 16 make the most of your time on
[45:45] earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity
[45:51] and using it with what wisdom and diligence, because the days
[45:56] are filled with evil, so make the very most of your time.
[46:03] So every child of God must be a steward of his time.
[46:10] Look, that attitude that you don't have control, You don't
[46:13] have a time, OK, I'm going to be on Facebook from 12:00 to 12:30.
[46:18] If you don't have that kind of lifestyle and then you just give
[46:22] yourself anything to do, your phone will misdirect your life.
[46:26] I'm telling you, no control. You're on Facebook, you're on
[46:34] Instagram, you're on TikTok. You move from here, you move
[46:36] from there. Three hours, four hours, five
[46:38] hours. We don't live like that.
[46:43] Please tell somebody we don't live like that.
[46:45] Do your hand like this. We don't live like that for fun.
[46:48] And when I say we don't live like that, are we learning now?
[46:57] A person is a vast steward of time when he does this.
[47:01] Are you ready? You are a vast steward of time
[47:05] when you find yourself in this number one, when he can't
[47:09] account for the way he has used his day, you are bashed out of
[47:14] time #1 when you can't account for the way you use your day, or
[47:20] 24 hours if you cannot give an account of it.
[47:23] We're bashed out of time because of time.
[47:28] We have to do it very quickly. Just have about 15 minutes more
[47:32] number 2 when he does 2 hours work in four hours.
[47:41] You can use two. You can use 4 hours to do a one
[47:46] hour work. You are a bad steward of time.
[47:51] You are working, you will talk, then you work some more.
[47:54] You talk, you work some more. You browser.
[47:58] You are not a steward of time #3 ready.
[48:01] He makes purposeless visits. You are bashed out of time when
[48:10] you make purposeless visits. You just visit people just like
[48:16] that. Bashed out of time #4 right when
[48:29] he's given to too much sleep. You have basked you out of time.
[48:38] When you are giving to too much sleeping.
[48:43] You have slept 7 hours. Is it not enough?
[48:45] You wake up again and sleep extra two hours.
[48:53] The Bible has some information for you.
[48:55] Proverbs chapter 6, the verse 10.
[48:57] Proverbs chapter 6, the verse 10.
[49:01] He says he had a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding
[49:05] of the hands to sleep. Next verse.
[49:08] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelled, and thy won't as
[49:13] an Amman. So every sleeper will be a poor
[49:19] man. It's a Bible prophecy.
[49:28] Maybe you want some more evidence?
[49:30] Proverbs chapter 19 the verse 15 Slothfulness casted into deep
[49:39] sleep and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
[49:44] Final Scripture. Proverbs chapter 20 the verse 13
[49:50] Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty.
[49:55] So anytime you love enjoying sleep, you are preparing
[49:59] yourself to be poor. There is no rich man who sleeps
[50:04] plenty. Open thy eyes and thou shalt be
[50:10] satisfied with bread. Piwini, are you learning?
[50:23] Are you sure you're learning something?
[50:24] All right #1 OK. When he relaxes in bed after a
[50:30] good night's sleep, you have slept.
[50:36] So what's the meaning of relaxing?
[50:38] I'm relaxing my body. You have already slept.
[50:42] You have bashed you out of time. Next, when you prefer to do on
[50:51] important things first. When you prefer to do on
[50:57] important things first, you are bashed you out of time.
[51:06] Now please take note, I'm not talking about anybody who is
[51:08] sick. Sickness is a very technical
[51:11] thing. So if you are sleeping because
[51:15] you are sickness, this message is not for you.
[51:17] Will the law heal you and recover you quickly?
[51:22] Now number #7 when he allows others to waste his time.
[51:31] When you allow others to waste your time.
[51:35] You know some people can call you for a gist and it can take
[51:38] two hours. Have you heard when you allow
[51:47] others to take your time, you're basking out of time.
[51:54] Next, when wordly things take more of your time?
[51:59] When wordly things takes more of your time.
[52:09] Next, when spiritual things take less of your time.
[52:24] Are you ready for the next? When you have a habit of being
[52:28] lit every time, deliberately. When you have the habit of being
[52:35] lit every time deliberately. You go to work late, you go to
[52:41] wedding late, you go to funeral late, you go to church late, you
[52:46] go to your children's PTA late, you're busting out of time.
[53:01] Finally, or last but not the least, when you have no
[53:04] overriding purpose for your life and therefore having nothing to
[53:10] stimulate you to a disciplined use of time.
[53:15] When you have no overriding purpose for your life.
[53:19] You see, it is purpose that keeps you busy.
[53:21] So if you are purposeless, you become idle when you have no
[53:25] overriding purpose for your life and therefore have nothing to
[53:28] stimulate you to be to be disciplined.
[53:32] Because I know I have people to teach and preach to and
[53:37] minister. I have to prepare in my office
[53:41] as a prophet to study, to pray and to prepare.
[53:51] I know my purpose now. So when you don't have a
[53:55] purpose, you know, some of you don't know, OK, four years from
[53:58] now, I want to do my master's. I want to do this.
[54:00] Next two years. I'm starting, I'm going to get
[54:02] some land. I'm starting this.
[54:03] You don't have a purpose. It's too dangerous.
[54:08] Too dangerous. And finally, when you have no
[54:13] plan for your day, you have no plan for your day.
[54:23] Usually in the mornings, by the time I am done with, by the time
[54:26] I'm in prayer, I know who to call after prayer, I write their
[54:30] names down, who to send a message.
[54:33] Sometimes you go, Reverend Ben, Reverend Boces will be there.
[54:36] I'll send a message. This is what we're going to do
[54:37] this week. This we're going to do this
[54:38] week. So I I structure everything down
[54:42] by writing them. Have a plan for your day.
[54:50] Have a plan for your week. Have a plan for the month.
[54:54] You'll be shocked how effective your life will be.
[54:56] This week I'm reading the whole book of Matthew Planet.
[55:00] You realize that you waste less time this whole week.
[55:04] I am finishing the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
[55:07] the four gospels. The whole week I'm going to
[55:08] finish it. So because you know that you are
[55:11] finishing the four gospels, you will not be wasting time on
[55:14] other things because you have something to catch, are you?
[55:19] Follow what I'm teaching you. By the end of the month, I
[55:22] should be done with Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus.
[55:26] Put a purpose upon your life, upon your week, upon your day.
[55:31] Have a time you are on social media and the time you leave.
[55:34] Now imagine every 3 or 4 minutes you upload your status and you
[55:38] are checking those who have viewed it.
[55:42] Do you know the time you're using to view them?
[55:44] It's time every 3 minutes. Oh, you see, many of us think
[55:58] that spiritual attack OK, It's only when you are sleeping and
[56:01] somebody comes to stand on your bed.
[56:03] You want to say Jesus? Jesus, is he under attack?
[56:09] No, Satan is smart. Oh, he has advancing technology.
[56:14] Spiritual attack can be when Satan hacks your time system.
[56:17] You use only your time to do unfitful things.
[56:20] It's an attack. You will never read your Bible.
[56:27] The first thing you do when you wake up is to check your status.
[56:32] It's a spiritual attack. Anytime you want to do something
[56:35] spiritual before you realize I don't have to come.
[56:37] Oh, you have to do this, you have to do this, you have to do
[56:39] that. By the time you finish, the day
[56:41] is gone. I've never experienced that
[56:43] before. You plan, you want to pray.
[56:44] All of a sudden you begin to get ideas.
[56:46] Hey, you're supposed to do this. Hey, you're supposed to do this.
[56:48] By the time you finish attending to those things, the time is
[56:51] gone. It's an attack.
[56:55] Please tell two people for me. Have a plan for your day.
[57:01] Are we learning something? The time is really, really,
[57:05] really moving. All right #2 Stewardship of
[57:10] talents, skills, and spiritual gifts.
[57:18] Stewardship of talent, skills, and spiritual gifts.
[57:28] There is nobody who is born again without a gift.
[57:35] Are you here with me? There is nobody who is born
[57:38] again without a gift. There's something you have that
[57:41] makes you unique. Once you have the Holy Spirit,
[57:45] there's something the Holy Spirit gives you.
[57:47] I've told you, the gifts of the Spirit is not just the 9 gifts
[57:49] we see in First Corinthians 12. There's the gift of the Father,
[57:51] there's the gift of the Son, there's the gift of the Holy
[57:53] Spirit. So every believer, even if you
[57:56] don't have the gift of the Spirit, you have at least part
[57:59] of the gift of the Father. Yeah, mercy is a gift.
[58:04] Giving is a gift. You're going to find them in
[58:06] Romans chapter 12. Leadership is a gift.
[58:11] Administration is a gift. All of them are in Romans
[58:13] chapter 12. Then there's the nine gifts of
[58:18] the Spirit where we have speaking in tongues,
[58:20] interpretations. We'll look even as a believer.
[58:23] I mean, almost all of us here speak in tongues.
[58:25] So you have a gift. So you must be a good steward of
[58:31] the gifts of God, of your skills and your talents.
[58:38] Are you here with me? That's why I have a little
[58:41] problem with musicians who charge money before singing.
[58:48] That is making merchandise of your gift.
[58:54] Anytime you charge someone with a Christian gift a godly gift
[59:01] before ministering, it is no longer a gift but a performance.
[59:07] Are you here with me? The passes who charge you have
[59:10] to pay 50%. Before I saw the detail of 1.
[59:16] Whatever it is he chooses, the hotel he has to sleep in, the
[59:21] food you are supposed to prepare and how many times you must
[59:24] bring it in a day. I was shocked.
[59:31] There are musicians who charge 15 to $20,000 before the
[59:33] minister. I hope you're aware you don't
[59:36] know what's going on. I was telling Pastor Sam
[59:43] yesterday that I was just thinking about this two days
[59:45] ago. As a pastor, I'll fast 40 days
[59:49] on water, preach consistently, visit members, check up on
[59:54] members, show love and care, prepare and preach even for
[59:57] programs every time. Then hardly do somebody give me
[1:00:01] a seat. A musician will come and sing 25
[1:00:04] minutes and they give him 50,000.
[1:00:13] And yeah, yeah, Hallelujah. Now, music.
[1:00:27] Musicians are not part of the fivefold ministry.
[1:00:30] Apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, evangelists, singers.
[1:00:39] I'm telling you, it's a serious matter.
[1:00:46] There are prophets who use their gifts to see people's accounts.
[1:00:49] They'll mention your account and tell you how much is it and how
[1:00:51] much the Lord is requesting. It's a serious matter.
[1:01:03] Praise God. You see how you use the gift of
[1:01:08] God in manipulation and controlling people?
[1:01:11] Some people use their gifts to sleep with people, sleep with
[1:01:14] girls in the church. You see a prophet that slept
[1:01:16] with all Paris tests because he uses the admiration of the gift.
[1:01:21] The Bible says because of the anointing the Vegas do love
[1:01:23] thee. So once you are gifted, people
[1:01:25] will be attracted to you. You use that attraction to draw
[1:01:28] them to Christ. Everyone I'm saying MD's will
[1:01:34] clear all the Aqua members MD's, but I can't go Pastor Sam,
[1:01:38] Pastor. Gosh, they can't even try it
[1:01:39] because it's not in them. But they are MD's.
[1:01:43] By the time they've finished, they've cleared all of them the
[1:01:49] gift of God. I'm teaching video.
[1:01:54] Still think the gift of God is very important.
[1:01:57] Every talent you have must be used well.
[1:02:00] You have to prepare. There are people who don't pray
[1:02:04] before they sing. There are people who don't pray
[1:02:05] before they usher. They don't pray before.
[1:02:07] They don't know that this thing is a spiritual work that we're
[1:02:09] doing. It's a spiritual work, highly
[1:02:15] spiritual work, and it requires a lot of preparation, fear
[1:02:20] reference in administering them. And look, sometimes even as you
[1:02:25] know, people who are receiving from us as men of God, you must
[1:02:28] understand that pastors don't get things easy like you think
[1:02:31] of. Yeah, I'm telling you, sometimes
[1:02:36] I can do Tuesday counseling. OK, Tuesday, counselor.
[1:02:39] I'll be here. From where's?
[1:02:41] Where's Danny? I come here from like 12.
[1:02:45] I leave you at 8. I will see more than 10 people.
[1:02:48] Nobody. Give me a seat.
[1:02:51] Nobody. Because before that fuel runs
[1:02:57] through my body. It's not blood.
[1:03:04] Praise God. So sometimes we are raised the
[1:03:07] kind of prophets because of they know.
[1:03:12] So he has to tell you that counselling is 500 per hour.
[1:03:23] I'm telling you, we don't understand the principle of
[1:03:26] other handling gifts. Oh, I don't have much.
[1:03:30] This is for a time Now, people say that even food time pastors,
[1:03:37] I'm not supposed to be on food time.
[1:03:38] They're supposed to go and find work.
[1:03:40] How do I find work to be working from 5:00 to 8:00 and come and
[1:03:42] visit you when you're in trouble and come when you're on the
[1:03:46] labor ward, study and counsel you Well, not every pastor can
[1:03:52] be on part time. That's the truth.
[1:03:55] Not every pastor. The kind of work I do as a
[1:03:57] prophet, I can't be part time. Please.
[1:04:01] Are you following me? People don't know that pastoring
[1:04:04] is work on its own. They don't know because some
[1:04:07] people think that when we come and we preach, we are done with
[1:04:09] work. You have no idea the work that
[1:04:12] we do from Monday to Friday before you see us preaching.
[1:04:15] You have no idea coordinating every department, receiving
[1:04:22] downloads from heaven, doing deliverance session.
[1:04:25] Do you know what it costs to do a deliverance session?
[1:04:29] And when you finish, you don't go through the demons of the
[1:04:31] person's family, follow you to your house.
[1:04:35] You see those ones are unquantifiable.
[1:04:37] We don't see them. The battles are fighting because
[1:04:40] some of you, you came from backgrounds that the kind of
[1:04:43] teaching I'm doing is removing things, getting rid of things
[1:04:47] from you. You think the enemy, we're
[1:04:48] happy. No, the work is a difficult
[1:04:53] work, too difficult. But anyway, so I'm teaching on
[1:05:00] stewardship. So we must learn to steward our
[1:05:04] gifts very well. Cell leaders use your gifts.
[1:05:07] Shepherds, use your gifts well. Finally, 5 minutes.
[1:05:16] Stewardship of money. Stewardship of money, assets,
[1:05:23] resources. Now we need to understand this.
[1:05:34] One thing you need to know is that God hates waste.
[1:05:38] Please put that down. God doesn't like waste.
[1:05:51] That is why God will. Jesus Christ will tell them that
[1:05:54] the leftover bread, they should put it in a basket.
[1:05:58] She didn't throw it away. Look, in stewardship of money,
[1:06:03] you must make sure that you don't waste money, you don't
[1:06:06] waste resources to practice frugality.
[1:06:19] Practice what? Frugality.
[1:06:24] No frugality, avoiding too much spending.
[1:06:35] The latest shoe you buy, latest suit you buy, latest dress you
[1:06:41] buy. Once you see somebody wearing a
[1:06:43] dress you don't have, envy takes over.
[1:06:45] You call your seamstress, you call your tailor, you
[1:06:48] deliberately hold the phone and see if you are talking to the
[1:06:50] person. How are you doing?
[1:06:51] Which I fix on the correct. You send it to your seamstress.
[1:06:57] And you saw the same thing for me.
[1:07:00] I don't have money but I can start it.
[1:07:07] There are a lot of ladies who wear dresses once in a year.
[1:07:11] There were certain shoes once in a year.
[1:07:14] You know what it meant? It meant that that dress they
[1:07:16] wore was envy, was out of envy. So they don't even need it.
[1:07:22] Again, you have too many shoes, too many heels, too many
[1:07:26] dresses. Some of them you don't need
[1:07:29] them. Are you here with me?
[1:07:32] Except you see, you have built your wealth to a place where you
[1:07:35] just when you buy the thing, you don't lose anything.
[1:07:38] Why so I wouldn't be 1. So to talk.
[1:07:42] I've told people, look, don't be under any pressure.
[1:07:45] You see, in this ministry here, there is no produce and under
[1:07:48] pressure to dress in a setting stylish with no pressure because
[1:07:52] we don't encourage those things here.
[1:07:55] There are some changes if you if you, if you don't have certain
[1:07:58] dresses, you can't go there. You are afraid to go there.
[1:08:01] The pressure. I've told you several times, if
[1:08:04] you if you repeat a dress five times continuously, it's a sign.
[1:08:08] What? It belongs to you.
[1:08:12] It's a sign it belongs to you. Sometimes train yourself
[1:08:15] deliberately. Wear wonders.
[1:08:17] Why are you changing your dress? It's a gift.
[1:08:19] I've got into the rim where people sew dresses for me.
[1:08:24] If I don't want to wear it, you're sewing it.
[1:08:25] Misha, Misha. For time is wrong.
[1:08:31] Me Roam along yes, people saw dresses for people giving money.
[1:08:36] Go and buy a shoe. Go and buy this.
[1:08:38] Go and buy this. Go and buy that.
[1:08:39] And I I I sold it. God told me I should empty my my
[1:08:43] wardrobe. So all my pastors.
[1:08:45] I shed all. There was nothing my wardrobe
[1:08:47] less than one month. Then the grease started flowing.
[1:08:52] Yeah. You come again.
[1:08:52] I'm waiting for you. I gave up my brand new shoes
[1:08:57] Shoes I've not worn before. That was it's happening at the
[1:08:59] end that happened again. And God started flowing like
[1:09:03] that. You come again.
[1:09:06] OK, but be OK wearing one dress. You're not under pressure.
[1:09:14] You don't owe anybody anything. Tell somebody you don't owe
[1:09:18] anybody anything. Yes, you don't owe anybody
[1:09:24] anything. How many people look at your
[1:09:26] heels? I don't.
[1:09:28] I don't remember the last time I looked at the heels of any judge
[1:09:30] member. The heels to see the heels you
[1:09:33] are wearing? No.
[1:09:37] Do you watch anybody's heels today?
[1:09:39] Have you seen anybody's heels today?
[1:09:40] You didn't see anybody's heels apart from your wife.
[1:09:43] Didn't see anybody's heels. You didn't see anybody's heels.
[1:09:47] You saw anybody. Only your heels you saw you went
[1:09:50] by heels. 800 gamma CDs. Nobody's watching Hallelujah.
[1:10:03] So you're not under pressure. Look, when you're starting life,
[1:10:07] there's a certain principle. Think rich, but live poor.
[1:10:13] When you're starting life, think rich live poor.
[1:10:16] So you're saving, you're putting things in place.
[1:10:19] You don't just live anyhow. Hey, Bukina.
[1:10:33] Bukina. What?
[1:10:34] Toby, it's like what you just keep buying.
[1:10:37] Buying, buying, buying, buying. It's not been good for your
[1:10:40] health. Don't live life that way.
[1:10:48] Master Sack lives with me in the house.
[1:10:51] I don't spend though because the needs that I have to meet in the
[1:10:58] lives of people, I can't afford to be spending money by heart.
[1:11:04] I'm telling there was an emergency surgery.
[1:11:08] There was 1 member that was going through something serious
[1:11:11] that needed a surgery. I had put some money down for
[1:11:15] some plan for my children. When the emergency came, it was
[1:11:18] a surgery that needed to be done and he insulted he want to do it
[1:11:21] because he couldn't afford it. And the law said to the surgery.
[1:11:25] I called a doctor for him for the ministry.
[1:11:27] They found a surgeon the next day they read him I paid over
[1:11:31] 5000 gallon CDs for that surgery.
[1:11:34] And it does what saved his life. No, I'm telling you some serious
[1:11:38] stuff. So imagine if I'm just spending
[1:11:41] spending. I'm just spending money as a man
[1:11:43] of God spending. Don't be spender telling you I'm
[1:11:52] just spender. Don't be eating your future in
[1:11:57] the now. Learn to create a deliberate
[1:12:02] hunger for the now. You'll be you'll be shocked.
[1:12:09] What you will save, you'll be shocked at the end of one month.
[1:12:12] You'll be shocked. Sometimes we're doing 70 days.
[1:12:17] The 70 days is an advantage. You can eat once a day and drink
[1:12:21] water, drink water. Number one, you'll be more
[1:12:25] healthier #2 you'll save a lot of money.
[1:12:32] Please, are you following what I'm teaching you?
[1:12:36] Talk to people. What investments can I do?
[1:12:40] What business can I invest in? What can I start with this
[1:12:42] amount of money? Let's start something.
[1:12:46] For five years you have planned that you are going to think
[1:12:50] rich, but you're going to live poor.
[1:12:52] Let people call you all kinds of names.
[1:12:54] Wear 1 shoe for five years you have a plan so you don't care
[1:12:58] what you're saying because in the plan by five years you'll be
[1:13:02] comfortable. So you don't care.
[1:13:05] You are wearing that same shoe. You're look, if we don't
[1:13:11] understand stewardship of money, we'll make big mistakes in our
[1:13:15] lives. I've told people there are three
[1:13:17] people you pay would cost money. Number one, you pay God first.
[1:13:23] They're businessmen who don't recognize God anymore in their
[1:13:26] finances. A Christian business person, a
[1:13:28] Christian worker must be God first.
[1:13:33] Are you from what I'm teaching, no.
[1:13:35] So. So the argument of if you follow
[1:13:38] my teaching, I don't tell him if you don't type, you go to hell.
[1:13:41] Who says so? Give me Scripture that if you
[1:13:43] don't type, you go to hell. Nobody will go to hell if you
[1:13:45] don't pay a tithe. The tithing system was
[1:13:48] established under the Old Covenant for the purpose of
[1:13:50] taking care of the House of the priests because in the the the
[1:13:54] tribes of Israel all of them got properties when they entered the
[1:13:58] promised land except except Levy that was the House of priests
[1:14:03] because they were supposed to be dedicated to the work of God
[1:14:06] fully. So God became their inheritance
[1:14:08] for their survivor. God says all of you will work.
[1:14:11] Give a taint of your produces to the Levites so they can live on
[1:14:15] it. So he says bring your fans into
[1:14:18] the storehouse. That what they may be meat.
[1:14:21] Now if you read Malachi 3, it was not a case for church
[1:14:25] members. Malachi 3 because you see, there
[1:14:28] were provinces of priests who were supposed to bring a certain
[1:14:32] amount to the storehouse for the priest in the temple to eat.
[1:14:35] Those priests were withholding that tank from the priest who
[1:14:40] was in the House of God. 7 and they were the people God was
[1:14:42] talking about. IPhone, I'm teaching you, but
[1:14:47] you see in the New Testament, the truth of the matter is that
[1:14:51] because we have the principle that everything belongs to God,
[1:14:54] you should understand that God must enjoy part of your income
[1:14:57] as a sign of faith that He's the provider #2 we give in the
[1:15:02] Kingdom of God so that there will be meat.
[1:15:04] Meat. Their means is not just food,
[1:15:06] but provision bills are being paid every time we give TNTS we
[1:15:14] buy stuff. I'm told was there ATV that got
[1:15:16] spot or something We have to buy a new one.
[1:15:19] You'll be working now you hear poor this thing is is blown.
[1:15:22] You have to buy a new cable. How much 6000 we have to pay ECG
[1:15:27] bills If you don't give to God's house.
[1:15:29] How do we find the church? How do we find so sometimes
[1:15:36] people talk online. They just talk.
[1:15:37] This is such big churches, how much they are making.
[1:15:40] Look to run a big church. It's it's, it's money.
[1:15:44] Did you hear me? It's what?
[1:15:46] It's money. It's too expensive.
[1:15:52] There is one of my pastor friends, his passing system
[1:15:55] costing close to 200,000 every month.
[1:15:58] Passing system, They have over 10 to 15 buses.
[1:16:02] They used to bring people from Kasua from this, from that.
[1:16:05] How do you do with that money? How do you do with that money,
[1:16:14] please? Are you listening to what I'm
[1:16:15] teaching you? There are so many things we
[1:16:17] can't do without the church contributing to the work of God.
[1:16:21] So when you withhold your finances from God's house,
[1:16:23] someone says, is it God who is the money or is the church is
[1:16:27] the church? But you do it for God and the
[1:16:29] church uses it for what? By wisdom, God has intended to
[1:16:32] help the vision to be fulfilled. Are you following me?
[1:16:38] It's expensive to run church these days.
[1:16:40] It's expensive those time. Once you feel the Spirit of God
[1:16:44] upon you, you start a church. You can meet under a tree.
[1:16:47] People will come with open heart.
[1:16:50] Go and meet under a tree. In these last days, let's see
[1:16:53] who enter your church. When the person entering is
[1:16:56] looking for comfort and condition, is looking for style
[1:17:02] lightning, he doesn't want plastic chair, but he pays one
[1:17:09] CD. No, that's the kind of church we
[1:17:13] have today. So we don't understand how how
[1:17:18] these things are run. Hey, this POP, we don't sit on
[1:17:24] the POP, but the POP at the top is almost 200,000 galaxies.
[1:17:27] We don't sit there. The carpet from here to here is
[1:17:33] almost 70,000 galaxies. The foundation of this building
[1:17:39] was 500,000 ganacities. The flow was 600,000.
[1:17:45] Think about it, there are conditions you're seeing here,
[1:17:48] only the standing is 65,000 ganacities.
[1:17:57] The value of these instruments have not even come.
[1:18:00] These panels you are seeing here, the panels you are seeing
[1:18:04] here plus the light in it is also about 50,000 ganacities.
[1:18:10] The LED screen are seen clearing cost and everything cost almost
[1:18:16] $10,000 which is about 100 and something thousand Ghana cities.
[1:18:20] Think about it. So the people who don't give
[1:18:25] other people who complain without understanding and look,
[1:18:29] such is a serious matter. You don't have understanding,
[1:18:33] you have to keep quiet. God is looking for stewards of
[1:18:37] money who understand the vision and know that look.
[1:18:40] You have to trust God for God to bless you, to be a blessing to
[1:18:44] the body of Christ. Of course there are churches who
[1:18:46] mismanage, there are pastors who are messing up with church
[1:18:49] funds, but not this pastor who is preaching to you.
[1:18:53] Every CD counts. It is.
[1:18:56] I will give to the church. I don't take from the church.
[1:18:59] Nobody pays me salary. It's been 7 years now, not even
[1:19:02] for allowance. I don't take honouring from
[1:19:04] churches. Ask me how I survive.
[1:19:07] Survive by the grace of God. Yeah, it's true.
[1:19:10] So you see, when people are disarming pastors, she must not
[1:19:13] disharm me because I've paid the price.
[1:19:16] I've gotten sick because of this work.
[1:19:19] I've given my life because of this work.
[1:19:22] My wife and my kids have not gotten certain privileges
[1:19:25] because of this work. If I wanted to build a house, I
[1:19:28] would have finished it in six months.
[1:19:30] Everything is gone to the work of God.
[1:19:32] My blood is in this ministry. I'm telling you, my life is in
[1:19:36] this ministry. Yeah, I'm telling you the truth.
[1:19:42] So you see, we need to understand that the best we can
[1:19:46] do is to commit our resources, put it together little by
[1:19:52] little. Now, have you wondered how
[1:19:53] churches survive the small, small offerings?
[1:19:56] 5 cities, 10 cities. What we are able to make with
[1:19:59] your money, isn't it, I wonder. No.
[1:20:01] Aren't you wondering how we were able to use five CD offering,
[1:20:05] ten CD offering to do something big?
[1:20:08] It's a mystery. We assess, we don't understand,
[1:20:10] we don't understand. And then some ministers are
[1:20:16] committed with some huge dollars.
[1:20:19] We can't find the money. 1 is in US.
[1:20:22] It's not a citizen. Hallelujah.
[1:20:34] Are you satisfied? Are you full?
[1:20:37] Are you full? I want more food.
[1:20:40] You want more? I know you are fake.
[1:20:41] I know. I think I know you.
[1:20:42] Let's close. All right, so I'm now with you
[1:20:45] for today. So rise up on your feet and
[1:20:52] let's close. You want to pray one prayer and
[1:20:56] say, Lord, make me a faithful steward of the manifold grace of
[1:21:01] God. I want you to pray this prayer
[1:21:03] and pray seriously. Lift your voice and begin to
[1:21:05] pray. Lord, make me a faithful
[1:21:07] steward, a faithful steward of time, a faithful steward of the
[1:21:13] gifts of God, and a faithful steward of money.
[1:21:17] Lift your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray.
[1:21:25] Make me a faithful steward. Make me a faithful steward.
[1:21:52] Father, in the name of Jesus, can you put your hands on your
[1:21:54] chest? Father, today our hearts are
[1:21:57] before you. Lord Jesus, we have heard your
[1:22:03] word on stewardship as a consecration.
[1:22:08] Please help us to be faithful. We have learned the principles
[1:22:13] of stewardship, the principle of ownership, the principle of
[1:22:17] responsibility, the principle of accountability, and the
[1:22:22] principle of reward. Lord, make our hearts cling to
[1:22:26] these teachings that we are hearing so we become better
[1:22:29] responsible Christians who expand Your Kingdom, who will
[1:22:34] not be gullible to what social media is saying, but to what
[1:22:38] Your Word is saying. Help us to be established in
[1:22:42] every facet of our Christian experience and all the glory
[1:22:45] shall be given to Your name. We bless Your name and we thank
[1:22:48] You in Jesus name. Amen.
[1:22:51] And You celebrate Jesus in the house.
