[0:47] Speaker 1: Thank him for the gift of today.
[0:50] Speaker 3: Thank him for the abundance of his grace thank him
[0:54] Speaker 3: for another moment of encounter in his presence the bible
[0:57] Speaker 3: declares they go from strength to strength As many of
[1:01] Speaker 3: them that appear before the Lord in Zion. The Bible says.
[1:11] Speaker 3: For without faith it is impossible to please him. That
[1:16] Speaker 3: everyone who.
[1:17] Speaker 1: Comes to God must come believing that he is. He exists.
[1:22] Speaker 3: And then that he is the rewarder of them that
[1:25] Speaker 3: diligently seek him. Father we thank you. Now cry to him.
[1:34] Speaker 3: Open up my understanding. Let your word come with fire.
[1:39] Speaker 3: Let your power come.
[1:42] Speaker 1: Let there be an embracing upon my spirit man today.
[1:46] Speaker 3: Are you praying? Be intentional about your prayer. Be passionate
[1:51] Speaker 3: about your prayer. For everyone that asketh, receive it.
[1:59] Speaker 1: To him who that seeketh he shall find unto him
[2:04] Speaker 1: that knocketh the door shall be opened For in Jesus'
[2:30] Speaker 1: name we pray. Amen.
[2:34] Speaker 3: While standing, I want to start by really, truly appreciating everyone.
[2:41] Speaker 3: It takes a level of discipline to grow spiritually. Spiritual
[2:47] Speaker 3: growth is for people who.
[2:49] Speaker 1: Take God seriously, number one. and those who are disciplined
[2:54] Speaker 1: enough to walk in keeping with divine principles. It says,
[2:58] Speaker 1: in the latter time, some will refuse to endure sound doctrine.
[3:04] Speaker 1: It takes the endurance of the Spirit, coming week after week.
[3:09] Speaker 1: Let me tell you something while you are still standing.
[3:13] Speaker 1: It was very strong in my heart as I was
[3:15] Speaker 1: praying and preparing to come. It's important to know Who
[3:23] Speaker 1: you are. As far as this ministry is concerned. You
[3:27] Speaker 1: are not followers. Never call yourself. Or think yourself to
[3:33] Speaker 1: be a follower. A follower is a fan. A follower
[3:38] Speaker 1: is one who subscribes. To an individual or a platform
[3:43] Speaker 1: based on emotions. And based on interests. No. We are
[3:46] Speaker 1: not followers. We are followers.
[3:52] Speaker 3: Followers are emotional people. Followers work conditionally. There are football
[3:59] Speaker 3: fans who can be the fan of one football club
[4:04] Speaker 3: one moment and then become utterly disappointed and switch clubs
[4:12] Speaker 3: immediately and unapologetically so. So you must realize that don't
[4:19] Speaker 3: carry a fan mentality. I'm coming here just because I
[4:23] Speaker 3: love the idea of Koinonia or.
[4:26] Speaker 1: I love Apostle Joshua Selman. It's more than that.
[4:29] Speaker 3: You see, in this kingdom, when it has to do
[4:31] Speaker 3: with growth, we are students in the school of the Spirit.
[4:37] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[4:38] Speaker 3: And when you submit yourself to growth, um, You have
[4:45] Speaker 3: to take away the fan mentality and be connected. Every
[4:49] Speaker 3: time you are coming, it's as though you are coming
[4:52] Speaker 3: first to the school of the Spirit, the threshing floor.
[4:55] Speaker 3: You are coming to be made, you are coming to
[4:57] Speaker 3: be built, you are coming to be established. I just
[4:59] Speaker 3: thought to put that in place because we live in
[5:03] Speaker 3: a celebrity generation. And sometimes we ship some of these
[5:06] Speaker 3: ideas to church. And we just have this idea like
[5:11] Speaker 3: there is a celebrity man of God or a celebrity ministry.
[5:16] Speaker 3: All that is absolute nonsense as far as the purposes
[5:19] Speaker 3: of God is concerned.
[5:23] Speaker 1: There is Jesus the son of the living God.
[5:27] Speaker 3: And privileged vessels that have to communicate his intent to
[5:30] Speaker 3: a people. And a passionate people who are hungry.
[5:34] Speaker 1: To learn Christ. This is what makes a church. Any
[5:37] Speaker 1: other thing out of it is a waste of time
[5:39] Speaker 1: and the fabrication of men. It does not sustain any
[5:44] Speaker 1: power whatsoever to transform. Are we together?
[5:48] Speaker 3: Thank you for submitting yourself.
[5:50] Speaker 1: To the fasting. Please believe in fasting.
[5:54] Speaker 3: Please, in the name of Jesus and in the name
[5:57] Speaker 3: of honesty, believe in the power of fasting and prayer.
[6:02] Speaker 1: A believer who.
[6:03] Speaker 3: Does not fast is not only a lazy Christian, he's
[6:06] Speaker 3: a Christian that will be defeated utterly.
[6:09] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Having said that, let's greet one another.
[6:13] Speaker 1: Good evening everybody. God bless you. Please be seated. Welcome
[6:17] Speaker 1: to Koinonia.
[6:22] Speaker 3: Sometimes These things just born in your heart and you
[6:27] Speaker 3: want to get them out as a communication of your
[6:31] Speaker 3: love for the people of God.
[6:33] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[6:37] Speaker 3: Praise the name of the Lord. Do not forget what
[6:41] Speaker 3: I just said. No believer who comes to the house
[6:45] Speaker 3: of God is a fan of or a follower now
[6:52] Speaker 3: those who are outside the kingdom may call the membership
[6:56] Speaker 3: of a church or a spiritual platform followers they are
[7:00] Speaker 3: only communicating based on their level of understanding.
[7:07] Speaker 1: Believers as far as the building.
[7:12] Speaker 3: Or the structure of church and growth is concerned are
[7:15] Speaker 3: called disciples they are students There are believers who have
[7:21] Speaker 3: submitted themselves to the covenant of growth, growth through mentorship,
[7:27] Speaker 3: growth through enlightenment.
[7:30] Speaker 1: And this is very, very important.
[7:33] Speaker 3: Two things about a student or two things about a disciple.
[7:40] Speaker 3: Within the limit of your covenant of submission to learn,
[7:46] Speaker 3: you do not choose the menu for your growth.
[7:51] Speaker 1: Within the limits.
[7:53] Speaker 3: Of your covenant of submission, as far as your growth
[7:57] Speaker 3: is concerned, you do not choose your menu. It is
[8:03] Speaker 3: the assignment of the Holy Spirit in partnership with God's
[8:09] Speaker 3: shepherds to walk and design a menu for That is
[8:15] Speaker 3: profitable for your growth. Matthew I think it was Matthew.
[8:19] Speaker 3: Is it Matthew chapter 4? Or so Matthew chapter 4
[8:22] Speaker 3: and verse 4 I think. The temptation of Jesus. And
[8:26] Speaker 3: he said. Man shall not live by bread alone. But
[8:33] Speaker 3: by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.
[8:37] Speaker 1: Here Jesus gives us two keys. For the living of man.
[8:42] Speaker 1: One bread. Number two, words.
[8:47] Speaker 3: So men live by bread and they live by words.
[8:52] Speaker 3: If you have bread alone, you may not live effectively.
[8:57] Speaker 3: You need bread and you need words. The greatest of
[9:00] Speaker 3: the words being the word of God. Jesus himself was
[9:04] Speaker 3: teaching us that man does not live by bread alone,
[9:09] Speaker 3: but by every word, including the word that.
[9:12] Speaker 1: Proceeds from from the mouth of god.
[9:16] Speaker 3: Jeremiah 3 and verse 16 says and i will give
[9:20] Speaker 3: you shepherds or pastors 3 15 i will give you
[9:25] Speaker 3: pastors after or according to my heart and the bible
[9:31] Speaker 3: says the menu that this spiritual chef serves is called
[9:37] Speaker 3: knowledge and understanding i will give you pastors according to
[9:42] Speaker 3: my heart they will feed you with knowledge and with understanding.
[9:53] Speaker 1: Any territories in trouble.
[9:55] Speaker 3: When there are three things there absent please listen according
[9:59] Speaker 3: to scripture this is just a background for tonight. Any
[10:03] Speaker 3: territory at all is in trouble when three things are absent.
[10:08] Speaker 3: 2 Chronicles 15.
[10:11] Speaker 1: And verse 3.
[10:12] Speaker 3: The Bible tells us three things that if absent, a
[10:16] Speaker 3: society is in trouble.
[10:19] Speaker 1: For a long season, Israel.
[10:22] Speaker 3: Had been without the true God. Number one, when a
[10:26] Speaker 3: territory lacks the knowledge and allegiance to the true God,
[10:31] Speaker 3: that territory is in trouble. Number two, without a teaching priest.
[10:37] Speaker 3: If a territory lacks a teaching priest, that territory is
[10:41] Speaker 3: in trouble. And number three, without law. These are the
[10:46] Speaker 3: things that sponsor civilization and order. The knowledge of the
[10:51] Speaker 3: true God. The knowledge of a teaching priest. Or the
[10:56] Speaker 3: presence of a teaching priest. And then laws. For a
[11:02] Speaker 3: long season, Israel was without the true God. And without
[11:07] Speaker 3: a teaching priest. And without law. So we must be
[11:14] Speaker 3: passionate about learning laws. Because when God comes to you,
[11:20] Speaker 3: he makes you by introducing his word. And his word
[11:25] Speaker 3: contains his thoughts. You have to understand that the word
[11:29] Speaker 3: logos means the thoughts.
[11:31] Speaker 1: Of a man that seeks expression. His thoughts. Are we together?
[11:43] Speaker 1: Every time you appear before the Lord... You must fight
[11:47] Speaker 1: every spirit of destruction.
[11:50] Speaker 3: Jesus himself told us that everywhere the saints are gathered,
[11:54] Speaker 3: Satan is also around that corner. And he has the
[11:58] Speaker 3: singular assignment of stealing the word. In the parable of
[12:02] Speaker 3: the seed and the sower, he said the seed fell
[12:06] Speaker 3: on all kinds of grounds. And as soon as the
[12:09] Speaker 3: seed fell, Satan himself came to that ground and picked
[12:13] Speaker 3: the seed. And he says those that fell on good
[12:16] Speaker 3: ground were those who heard and had understanding. And among
[12:20] Speaker 3: those who had and are not understanding, there were three
[12:22] Speaker 3: levels of results.
[12:23] Speaker 1: 30-fold, 60-fold, and 100-fold. May your life command 100-fold. In
[12:30] Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ. Philippians chapter 1 and verse 7,
[12:37] Speaker 1: let's go to the business of the night. Our online family,
[12:41] Speaker 1: our Zaria family is also connecting. Blessings to you all.
[12:45] Speaker 3: Pay attention and our global family, the Lord bless you,
[12:49] Speaker 3: it's an honor to bring you the word. Philippians chapter
[12:51] Speaker 3: 1 and verse 7.
[12:54] Speaker 1: I told us last week we began and it will
[12:58] Speaker 1: continue for a few more weeks. I will be teaching.
[13:03] Speaker 3: Spiritual truths that relate to the graces and the spiritual
[13:09] Speaker 3: investments that God has so graciously placed upon my life.
[13:14] Speaker 3: And upon this ministry. And the reason why the Lord
[13:19] Speaker 3: instructed me to teach this. Please keep that scripture. Is
[13:23] Speaker 3: the B part of this scripture. He says, let me
[13:28] Speaker 3: read the whole verse.
[13:28] Speaker 1: Even as it is meet for me to think these
[13:31] Speaker 1: of you all.
[13:32] Speaker 3: Paul is speaking now. Because I have you in my heart.
[13:36] Speaker 3: What a good shepherd. In as much as both in
[13:38] Speaker 3: my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.
[13:42] Speaker 1: And here's what he says. Ye all. How many? All.
[13:46] Speaker 1: He says, ye all are partakers of my grace. Ye all.
[13:52] Speaker 1: When God calls a man. Please listen. When God calls
[13:56] Speaker 1: a man.
[13:57] Speaker 3: Among the many equipings that God gives to that man
[14:01] Speaker 3: is He grants him access to several levels, several things
[14:07] Speaker 3: you should receive by submitting under a man and a ministry.
[14:12] Speaker 3: It's not just spiritual information, but you must be partakers
[14:17] Speaker 3: of that grace.
[14:19] Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
[14:20] Speaker 3: To partake of a grace means to be benefactors of
[14:23] Speaker 3: that spiritual investment. And so last week, we considered wisdom,
[14:30] Speaker 3: the spirit of wisdom. I'm praying that many of us
[14:35] Speaker 3: would take out time and listen again to last week's teaching.
[14:39] Speaker 3: So that God would grant us grace.
[14:41] Speaker 1: The Bible calls wisdom the principal thing.
[14:44] Speaker 3: So please pay attention tonight and then the weeks that follow.
[14:48] Speaker 3: God will help us to touch and teach along these
[14:53] Speaker 3: graces that he so lavishly invested in this ministry. Why
[14:57] Speaker 3: is that so? So that your life will become an evidence.
[15:02] Speaker 3: It would be clear to you and to creation that
[15:07] Speaker 3: you have truly, truly embraced this grace and that with
[15:11] Speaker 3: it you will excel in your own life, your Christian pursuit, and.
[15:15] Speaker 1: Then you will help many to come to the saving
[15:19] Speaker 1: knowledge of Jesus Christ. If you are with me, please
[15:21] Speaker 1: say Amen.
[15:23] Speaker 3: There are many graces, 2 Corinthians chapter 8 and verse
[15:27] Speaker 3: 7 I believe, very instructive statement there. There are many
[15:31] Speaker 3: graces that are available for the believers. But Paul, even
[15:35] Speaker 3: though this context was alongside the grace of giving, but
[15:38] Speaker 3: then it also applies to us.
[15:41] Speaker 1: He says, Therefore, as ye are bound.
[15:44] Speaker 3: In everything, in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all diligence,
[15:51] Speaker 3: and in your love to us, see that ye are
[15:55] Speaker 3: bound in this grace also. In as much as you
[16:01] Speaker 3: have been benefactors of these other dimensions, faith, utterance, knowledge, diligence,
[16:08] Speaker 3: and even having love for us, it is my desire,
[16:11] Speaker 3: Paul is saying, to see this expression of grace also
[16:16] Speaker 3: at work in your life. That means it is possible
[16:19] Speaker 3: to embrace certain dimensions and certain levels of this grace,
[16:23] Speaker 3: and yet the fullness of it may not find expression
[16:28] Speaker 3: in your life as of yet. And like Paul, God
[16:31] Speaker 3: sees my heart that I am desirous. That these other
[16:35] Speaker 3: dimensions of grace that many of us may not have
[16:37] Speaker 3: come into the experience of. That by the teaching tonight,
[16:42] Speaker 3: God will grant.
[16:42] Speaker 1: Us access to this grace.
[16:45] Speaker 3: If you are with me, please say Amen. This grace
[16:50] Speaker 3: called favor. Write it down please. This grace called favor.
[17:00] Speaker 3: Just write it down and pray in the spirit in
[17:02] Speaker 3: one minute. This grace called favor.
[17:20] Speaker 1: Please pray. Following online prayer.
[17:40] Speaker 3: We are going to tap tonight into deep reaches of
[17:44] Speaker 3: eternal life.
[17:53] Speaker 5: He was the sun has eternal life.
[18:01] Speaker 2: He who has.
[18:02] Speaker 5: The Son has eternal life. I have the Son, so
[18:13] Speaker 5: I have eternal life.
[18:17] Speaker 1: He who has the Son.
[18:19] Speaker 2: Has eternal life.
[18:26] Speaker 1: Go ahead and pray.
[18:28] Speaker 2: Holy, holy, holy.
[18:32] Speaker 6: Holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy.
[18:53] Speaker 7: Is the Lord God Almighty. Is the Lord God Almighty.
[19:07] Speaker 5: My life is full of your glory. My life is
[19:15] Speaker 5: full of your glory.
[19:18] Speaker 1: Keep praying. And the people say.
[19:20] Speaker 8: Holy, holy, holy.
[19:29] Speaker 9: Holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy.
[19:46] Speaker 1: You're praying to open up your understandings.
[19:50] Speaker 3: Praying for the sake of your destiny you're praying for
[19:52] Speaker 3: the sake of the assignment that is set before you
[19:56] Speaker 3: one of the mysteries of the kingdom is about to
[19:59] Speaker 3: be unveiled.
[20:07] Speaker 1: My life is about to change. Thank you Jesus for
[20:09] Speaker 1: your word comes. Hallelujah. Listen now. this grace called favor.
[20:41] Speaker 3: I do not mean to be arrogant and forgive me
[20:45] Speaker 3: if you ever perceive that there is any communication that
[20:50] Speaker 3: represents or connotes arrogance we are all products of god's
[20:53] Speaker 3: messian grace but i will tell you one truth and
[20:57] Speaker 3: i do not mean to insult your pedigree.
[21:00] Speaker 1: This for some reason.
[21:04] Speaker 3: It's about the hardest of the graces that I have
[21:08] Speaker 3: seen as far as receiving this grace that God has
[21:12] Speaker 3: placed upon my life and upon this ministry is concerned.
[21:15] Speaker 3: I have seen people receive the grace for the prophetic
[21:19] Speaker 3: so easily. I have seen people receive the grace for
[21:23] Speaker 3: the miraculous so easily. I have seen people receive the grace,
[21:29] Speaker 3: dimensions of the anointing, the presence of God, revelation. But
[21:33] Speaker 3: when it has to do with this grace called favor,
[21:38] Speaker 3: I do not know why it has been so difficult.
[21:43] Speaker 3: And this is not just my experience alone. I've had
[21:46] Speaker 3: the honor and the privilege to interact with others. great,
[21:50] Speaker 3: great men and women, veterans of the gospel within this.
[21:54] Speaker 1: Nation and around the world.
[21:56] Speaker 3: And for some reason, there seems to be the same
[22:00] Speaker 3: complaint that it seems as though those who sit under
[22:05] Speaker 3: this anointing for some reason are not able to receive
[22:10] Speaker 3: and to replicate this grace. And I'm praying that this
[22:14] Speaker 3: case and this narrative will change tonight.
[22:26] Speaker 1: God is the all-wise God. And in his dealings with men.
[22:31] Speaker 1: Please pay attention. I'm teaching now.
[22:34] Speaker 10: Man.
[22:35] Speaker 3: Man by default. Listen to me. Man by default. By
[22:40] Speaker 3: reason of the fallen nature. And by reason of the
[22:46] Speaker 3: limitation that our humanity.
[22:48] Speaker 1: Brings to us. Man is limited.
[22:52] Speaker 3: Grossly limited more limited than we will ever imagine and
[22:57] Speaker 3: so as you sojourn on earth as you walk on
[23:00] Speaker 3: this earth attempting to live out your destiny and your
[23:04] Speaker 3: assignment sooner or later you will realize how limited we
[23:10] Speaker 3: can be no matter how well meaning we are no
[23:13] Speaker 3: matter how sincere we are man by default is limited
[23:19] Speaker 3: he is not limited because he is evil Necessarily. He's
[23:24] Speaker 3: not limited because he's bad or whatever it is.
[23:30] Speaker 1: No, no, no.
[23:31] Speaker 3: The same limitation happens to good people and bad people.
[23:36] Speaker 3: The same limitation happens to selfless and selfish people. There
[23:40] Speaker 3: are different shades of limitations that are upon us by
[23:46] Speaker 3: reason of wearing this mortal body.
[23:49] Speaker 1: You have to be aware of this. And so God in.
[23:53] Speaker 3: His wisdom and in his love designed several systems of advantage.
[24:01] Speaker 1: This is what I call them.
[24:02] Speaker 3: Systems of advantage that if and when the saints access
[24:07] Speaker 3: these systems of advantage, they can begin to turn an
[24:11] Speaker 3: ordinary limited believer into a sign and a wonder.
[24:15] Speaker 1: Please pay attention.
[24:17] Speaker 3: That means that outside of the influence of these systems
[24:21] Speaker 3: of advantage, nobody has the hope of finishing strong and living.
[24:27] Speaker 1: The fullness of your destiny in Christ.
[24:31] Speaker 3: The advantage that the believer has, listen to me, the
[24:35] Speaker 3: advantage that coming into the faith life provides, among many
[24:39] Speaker 3: other things, is the access to.
[24:42] Speaker 1: These systems of advantage. So if.
[24:49] Speaker 3: You get born again, say at age 40, it's.
[24:54] Speaker 1: Going to take you already. Time is against you. Is
[24:57] Speaker 1: that true?
[24:58] Speaker 3: Congratulations for coming into the kingdom, but time is already
[25:01] Speaker 3: against you.
[25:02] Speaker 1: Because the unit of destiny is time.
[25:05] Speaker 3: And if you get born again at age 40, think
[25:08] Speaker 3: how long it's going to take you to argue about
[25:11] Speaker 3: the ministry of the Holy Spirit until you finally open
[25:14] Speaker 3: up your heart to Him. embrace the word of God
[25:17] Speaker 3: and now begin to learn the foundational rudiments of the gospel.
[25:21] Speaker 3: By the time you gain any level of maturity at all,
[25:25] Speaker 3: pending on the pace of your passion, it may be five,
[25:28] Speaker 3: ten years.
[25:28] Speaker 1: Down the line.
[25:29] Speaker 3: Then now understanding your assignment and beginning to live it out.
[25:34] Speaker 3: So by that, the fact that you got to know
[25:38] Speaker 3: God late already puts you in a disadvantage.
[25:42] Speaker 1: So God brought into.
[25:44] Speaker 3: Our Christian space systems of advantage like speed. So that
[25:51] Speaker 3: there is a possibility. That under normal circumstances it will
[25:55] Speaker 3: take you 10 years to know.
[25:57] Speaker 1: God and live out your destiny. But that there is.
[25:59] Speaker 3: A condition that can be introduced in your life. That
[26:02] Speaker 3: within 1-2 years you will catch up with those who
[26:05] Speaker 3: have gone 10 years ahead of you.
[26:07] Speaker 1: It's called speed. Are we together now? Yes.
[26:12] Speaker 3: Systems of advantage. A woman, for instance, respectfully speaking, who
[26:19] Speaker 3: may have been trusting God for a child, and she's 10,
[26:22] Speaker 3: 15 years down the line.
[26:25] Speaker 1: No child.
[26:26] Speaker 3: Now, even if she gives birth to a child, how
[26:28] Speaker 3: many years would she take in training that child or
[26:31] Speaker 3: those children to now become adults and become mature? If
[26:36] Speaker 3: she's supposed to have a child one, one, one, one
[26:39] Speaker 3: space within two or three years.
[26:41] Speaker 1: It's going to take that woman a long time.
[26:43] Speaker 3: So God can introduce something into that condition. That one
[26:48] Speaker 3: woman can have triplets or quadruplets. You see, that one
[26:52] Speaker 3: is not delivery. That is restoration. Because God took 10.
[26:56] Speaker 1: 12 years and put it in nine months.
[26:59] Speaker 3: It's more than just celebrating the arrival of multiple children
[27:03] Speaker 3: god is making a statement by that miracle that you
[27:06] Speaker 3: can have dominion over time are we together now everybody
[27:11] Speaker 3: says systems of advantage yes sir you have to know
[27:16] Speaker 3: the implication of being a child of god being a
[27:19] Speaker 3: child of god has implications And one of those systems
[27:26] Speaker 3: of advantage that was put in the life of believers
[27:30] Speaker 3: for our profiting, to help us maximize our destinies in Christ,
[27:37] Speaker 3: is a grace called favor.
[27:45] Speaker 1: Gali, Gali, Abakus. That life by default is cruel. Life
[27:52] Speaker 1: by default is imbalanced. Life by default can be viciously unfair.
[28:02] Speaker 1: Favor becomes the equalizer. Favor becomes that which brings your
[28:08] Speaker 1: life to balance. Are we together now?
[28:11] Speaker 3: This grace called favor. I already shared with you my experience.
[28:15] Speaker 3: And let me give honor to many, many people. But
[28:19] Speaker 3: two great people that were used by God very mightily
[28:23] Speaker 3: to influence my life. And to be conduits for the
[28:27] Speaker 3: reception of this grace. Number one, I honor him. And
[28:32] Speaker 3: I thank God he's alive. And I pray he gets
[28:35] Speaker 3: to hear and know this.
[28:37] Speaker 1: Dr. Mike Modock.
[28:41] Speaker 3: It's one vessel that God used to communicate and help
[28:48] Speaker 3: me understand this grace called favor. The second that I
[28:56] Speaker 3: must give honor to and I've stated it here is
[28:59] Speaker 3: Pat Robertson Christian Broadcasting Network 700 Club.
[29:03] Speaker 1: It was a prayer.
[29:04] Speaker 3: I listened to a broadcast where he was narrating the
[29:09] Speaker 3: story That as a young minister, about to start ministry,
[29:13] Speaker 3: he went to God and prayed.
[29:15] Speaker 1: And he said, Lord, give me wisdom. Number one.
[29:19] Speaker 3: Number two, give me favor. Number three, give me the
[29:23] Speaker 3: anointing of the Holy Spirit. I went back and I
[29:26] Speaker 3: prayed the same prayer. Lord, give me favor.
[29:30] Speaker 1: Or wisdom.
[29:31] Speaker 3: Give me favor and give me the anointing of the
[29:34] Speaker 3: Holy Spirit. And like Jabez, God had my prayer. And
[29:38] Speaker 3: the rest today is history. history that glorifies god history
[29:45] Speaker 3: that brings glory to the name of the lord exodus
[29:48] Speaker 3: chapter 3 and verse 21 we're going to read two
[29:51] Speaker 3: scriptures and then i'll begin To share this deep kingdom mystery.
[29:56] Speaker 1: Let's read together in concert. Ready? One, two, read. And
[30:00] Speaker 1: I will give these people favor. Please read. In the
[30:04] Speaker 1: sight of the Egyptians.
[30:06] Speaker 3: And it shall come to pass that when ye go,
[30:10] Speaker 3: ye shall not go empty.
[30:13] Speaker 1: Please read it one more time.
[30:15] Speaker 3: And I will give these people favor in the sight
[30:19] Speaker 3: of the Egyptians. And it shall come to pass that
[30:23] Speaker 3: when ye go, ye shall not go. So you can
[30:29] Speaker 3: know that favor is upon you. And you can know
[30:32] Speaker 3: when favor is not upon you. Scripture number 2. Exodus
[30:37] Speaker 3: 11 and verse 3. Exodus 11 and verse 3. ready
[30:44] Speaker 3: to read again thank you for your patience one to
[30:47] Speaker 3: read and the lord gave the people favor in the
[30:52] Speaker 3: sight of the egyptians moreover the man moses was very
[30:58] Speaker 3: great in the land of egypt in the sight of
[31:01] Speaker 3: pharaoh's servant and in the sight of the people stop
[31:05] Speaker 3: we're going to read one more time I know you
[31:07] Speaker 3: read it from your mind. Now look at what you're
[31:09] Speaker 3: reading and just pay attention to the power of what
[31:13] Speaker 3: you're reading.
[31:13] Speaker 1: Ready? One more time.
[31:15] Speaker 3: And the Lord gave the people favor in.
[31:19] Speaker 1: The sight of the Egyptians.
[31:21] Speaker 3: Then he isolates one man and shows what favor can do.
[31:25] Speaker 3: He says, moreover, the man Moses, as a result of
[31:29] Speaker 3: that favor, was very great in the land of Egypt.
[31:33] Speaker 3: Number two, he was very great in the sight of
[31:37] Speaker 3: Pharaoh's servants.
[31:38] Speaker 1: Number three, he was very great in the sight of
[31:42] Speaker 1: the people. Favor. What is favor? Let me just pause
[31:56] Speaker 1: before you write.
[31:58] Speaker 3: I think one of the reasons why many believers have
[32:03] Speaker 3: not come into the reality... of favor the mainstream definition
[32:09] Speaker 3: of favor now i i i don't mean to to
[32:13] Speaker 3: downplay or insult the sack that there have been many
[32:16] Speaker 3: imbalances as far as the teaching of favor is concerned
[32:21] Speaker 3: and that is largely the reason why many believers have
[32:23] Speaker 3: not been able to step into the experience of favor
[32:27] Speaker 3: the definition itself for most of you if i ask
[32:30] Speaker 3: you please define for me favor what you will usually
[32:34] Speaker 3: say is favor is unmerited access.
[32:38] Speaker 1: Is that true?
[32:40] Speaker 3: You are not wrong, but you are largely incomplete. Favor
[32:46] Speaker 3: is a grace that is multidimensional. You see, unmerited access
[32:55] Speaker 3: is just one of the definitions of favor. And the
[33:00] Speaker 3: very fact that you believe that favor is unmerited is
[33:04] Speaker 3: the reason why we may never receive it.
[33:07] Speaker 1: When you tell believers favor is merited, they say, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[33:11] Speaker 1: Favor is not merited.
[33:12] Speaker 3: And because we have an idea that favor is unmerited,
[33:18] Speaker 3: we feel there is nothing to study about the dynamics
[33:21] Speaker 3: of the operation of favor.
[33:23] Speaker 1: If something is unmerited, why should I go so far
[33:25] Speaker 1: to study it? let me tell you by the authority
[33:29] Speaker 1: of god's word favor is merited.
[33:35] Speaker 3: Favor is multi-dimensional in its operation and it's just one
[33:40] Speaker 3: dimension of favor that appears to look like unmerited favor
[33:46] Speaker 3: or unmerited access that is when it has to do
[33:50] Speaker 3: with salvation the substitutionary sacrifice of christ any other dimension
[33:57] Speaker 3: of favor is merited to just believe that favor is
[34:03] Speaker 3: unmerited looks like a very sincere communication but it's destructive
[34:09] Speaker 3: many believers have been unable to step into it you
[34:12] Speaker 3: cannot call wisdom unmerited people know that wisdom is merited
[34:17] Speaker 3: so they pursue it they learn everything to learn about
[34:20] Speaker 3: wisdom So the first thing we have to correct in
[34:25] Speaker 3: love tonight is that favor is merited.
[34:31] Speaker 1: Favor is merited.
[34:34] Speaker 3: To call the entirety of favor unmerited access is not
[34:38] Speaker 3: exactly right.
[34:42] Speaker 1: So let's divine favor. I'll give you a few definitions.
[34:46] Speaker 1: Number one, favor is divine help.
[34:52] Speaker 3: Divine assistance favor is divine help divine assistance god in
[35:01] Speaker 3: partnership with men god in partnership with men providing help
[35:09] Speaker 3: and assistance to one's life and destiny favor is divine
[35:15] Speaker 3: help divine assistance God in partnership with men, providing help,
[35:22] Speaker 3: providing assistance to your life and your destiny. Please write
[35:27] Speaker 3: it down. Divine help. Divine assistance.
[35:41] Speaker 1: Are we together? So when God.
[35:46] Speaker 3: Graciously participates in your life your success your destiny and
[35:53] Speaker 3: now coordinates men to also support the course of your
[35:57] Speaker 3: life and your destiny we say you are favored and
[36:02] Speaker 3: i told you favor is not unmerited favor is merited
[36:06] Speaker 3: proverbs chapter 13 and verse 15. Here's the scripture that
[36:10] Speaker 3: the Lord gave me to deliver me from that understanding
[36:13] Speaker 3: that favor is unmerited.
[36:15] Speaker 1: Please read with me if you're a child of God. Ready?
[36:17] Speaker 1: One to read.
[36:18] Speaker 3: Good understanding giveth favor, but the.
[36:23] Speaker 1: Way of transgressors is hard. One more time.
[36:26] Speaker 2: Good understanding giveth favor, but the way.
[36:36] Speaker 3: Of transgressors is hard. To be in, it's like two
[36:44] Speaker 3: women who are both pregnant. The name of the first
[36:49] Speaker 3: woman is called good understanding. And this woman is pregnant.
[36:53] Speaker 3: When she gives birth to a child, the name of
[36:56] Speaker 3: the child that comes from her is called favor.
[36:59] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[37:00] Speaker 3: On this other side, there is another woman who is
[37:03] Speaker 3: also pregnant.
[37:04] Speaker 1: Her name is transgression.
[37:07] Speaker 3: She gives birth to a child the name of that
[37:10] Speaker 3: child is hardship so both favor and hardship are children
[37:16] Speaker 3: that come from mothers one mother is.
[37:19] Speaker 1: Called good understanding one.
[37:21] Speaker 3: Other mother is called transgression you know what transgression is violation.
[37:26] Speaker 1: Of patterns.
[37:32] Speaker 3: So this mother called good understanding can give birth to
[37:35] Speaker 3: a child and we call the child favor this other
[37:39] Speaker 3: mother called transgression can give birth to a child hardship
[37:44] Speaker 3: has an explanation it's not just a sociological phenomena it's
[37:49] Speaker 3: not the absence of privilege and advantage hardship Now it's
[37:53] Speaker 3: a very uncomfortable truth. Because when you talk like this,
[37:56] Speaker 3: many people get offended. Especially those who may seem to
[38:02] Speaker 3: be going through all kinds of problems. Whether financially and
[38:06] Speaker 3: all of that. But you must be open hearted.
[38:09] Speaker 1: Let God be. Because the way of the transgressor is hard.
[38:15] Speaker 1: This is very very powerful.
[38:18] Speaker 3: Many believers have refused to embrace this grace called favor.
[38:22] Speaker 3: And they have been limited as far as their divine
[38:25] Speaker 3: assignment is concerned. And I'm praying that God himself will
[38:29] Speaker 3: help us to really, really understand how favor works. Write
[38:35] Speaker 3: this down. Favor truly is the number one reason why
[38:41] Speaker 3: people succeed in the kingdom. The favor of God is
[38:47] Speaker 3: the number one reason why people succeed in the kingdom.
[39:01] Speaker 1: When jesus came and walked in the flesh.
[39:03] Speaker 3: Luke chapter 2 and verse 52 jesus himself can you
[39:07] Speaker 3: imagine this jesus the word of god the logos of
[39:11] Speaker 3: god had to contend for favor to excel in his
[39:14] Speaker 3: assignment and jesus increased the bible says in wisdom jesus
[39:20] Speaker 3: increased in stature and jesus the word of god needed
[39:25] Speaker 3: favor to fulfill his divine destiny he increased in favor
[39:30] Speaker 3: with God and men now this automatically tells you there
[39:35] Speaker 3: are two levels of favor there is favor with God
[39:39] Speaker 3: and there is favor with men you can have favor
[39:41] Speaker 3: with God and not have favor with men If you
[39:44] Speaker 3: have favor with men, with God, you will have encounters.
[39:48] Speaker 3: Angelic encounters. You can even go to heaven and come back.
[39:51] Speaker 3: But you will suffer in this life for sure. Because
[39:54] Speaker 3: the earth has he given to the sons of men.
[39:57] Speaker 3: Many people have favor with God. Access to illumination, understanding
[40:01] Speaker 3: of scripture. But as far as excelling in life and
[40:05] Speaker 3: destiny is concerned, they do not understand the dynamics of
[40:09] Speaker 3: living in this earth and in this realm.
[40:11] Speaker 1: You need favor both with God and man.
[40:16] Speaker 3: We see the use of the favor with man when
[40:19] Speaker 3: Jesus needed a donkey for his triumphant entry. It was
[40:22] Speaker 3: because of this grace called favor upon him.
[40:25] Speaker 1: He says, go and lose that cold.
[40:28] Speaker 3: And if any man asks you, tell him the master
[40:30] Speaker 3: had need of it. Brothers and sisters, if Jesus did
[40:33] Speaker 3: not have this grace called favor, he would have been
[40:35] Speaker 3: surprised what the owner of that donkey would do.
[40:40] Speaker 1: Are we together? Yes, sir. Favor.
[40:52] Speaker 3: Every testimony of victory and success in the kingdom is
[40:56] Speaker 3: connected to favor. Every testimony of victory and success in
[41:02] Speaker 3: this kingdom is connected to favor.
[41:05] Speaker 1: Please write that down. It's very, very important.
[41:07] Speaker 3: Every testimony of victory and success in this kingdom is
[41:13] Speaker 3: connected to favor.
[41:21] Speaker 1: Please write this down. In this kingdom, who hates you
[41:25] Speaker 1: does not matter, but who likes you matters.
[41:29] Speaker 3: In this kingdom, who hates you does not matter, but
[41:33] Speaker 3: who likes you matters. These are very powerful kingdom points
[41:41] Speaker 3: that you must note. That in this kingdom, who hates
[41:44] Speaker 3: you truly does not matter, but who likes you matters.
[41:51] Speaker 3: A king hates one woman called Vashti and she loses
[41:57] Speaker 3: her throne immediately. The king falls in love with a
[42:02] Speaker 3: woman called Hadassah, Esther.
[42:05] Speaker 1: And from a young village girl, she rises almost immediately
[42:09] Speaker 1: to become queen.
[42:11] Speaker 3: The king loves a man, even though that man was
[42:14] Speaker 3: against the purposes of God, called Haman.
[42:17] Speaker 1: He hated God and hated the Jews.
[42:20] Speaker 3: But simply because the king loved him, he remained in
[42:23] Speaker 3: the palace and he had dominion. The day the king
[42:26] Speaker 3: hated him, even if.
[42:27] Speaker 1: He repented, he would still go out of the palace.
[42:31] Speaker 1: He would serve the God of the Bible outside the palace.
[42:35] Speaker 1: Are we together now? A woman called Ruth.
[42:40] Speaker 3: Meets a great and a noble man called Boaz, and
[42:44] Speaker 3: he loves her, and in a moment, her.
[42:47] Speaker 1: Life is changed.
[42:48] Speaker 3: For 430 years, this cruel beast of a king called Pharaoh,
[42:55] Speaker 3: all kinds of Pharaohs came and left, oppressing God's people.
[43:00] Speaker 3: And suddenly God placed this grace upon the nation of Israel.
[43:03] Speaker 3: And the same Pharaoh who oppressed them. The Bible says
[43:06] Speaker 3: he gave them so much gifts. They were in a
[43:09] Speaker 3: hurry to go out. They did not even allow their
[43:11] Speaker 3: cake to rise.
[43:18] Speaker 1: Who likes you in this kingdom matters. Write this down.
[43:22] Speaker 1: All blessings come from God through man to man. This
[43:28] Speaker 1: is a powerful spiritual information.
[43:30] Speaker 3: Please pay attention. These truths will help you to excel
[43:35] Speaker 3: and serve the purposes of the kingdom. And to live
[43:38] Speaker 3: a very victorious Christian life while living out your destiny.
[43:42] Speaker 3: Understand this. All blessings come from God. But they come
[43:47] Speaker 3: through men to men. When God says yes. And the
[43:52] Speaker 3: helpers of your destiny say no.
[43:54] Speaker 1: The answer will remain in the realm of the spirit.
[43:57] Speaker 1: It will not manifest in this realm. Believe me. If
[44:03] Speaker 1: you say all I need in this life is God.
[44:08] Speaker 1: And you are saying that.
[44:09] Speaker 3: To mean my allegiance, my love, my passion and my
[44:13] Speaker 3: commitment is to him.
[44:14] Speaker 1: You are right. You are right.
[44:16] Speaker 3: But if you say, all I need in this life,
[44:19] Speaker 3: as far as the dynamics of success is concerned, you
[44:22] Speaker 3: are very wrong.
[44:23] Speaker 1: Even God needed men.
[44:26] Speaker 3: You ask the angel what he was doing, searching for
[44:29] Speaker 3: women with wombs.
[44:31] Speaker 1: Jesus wants to come on earth.
[44:33] Speaker 3: He's trapped in heaven until a woman donates her womb.
[44:37] Speaker 3: Look at how the angel came to explain it. As
[44:39] Speaker 3: mighty as he was, the word remained in the realm
[44:42] Speaker 3: of the Spirit. And the angel came and said, Mary,
[44:46] Speaker 3: you are highly favored. This is what will happen to you.
[44:49] Speaker 3: She said, explain it to me. Do you know the
[44:51] Speaker 3: same question Mary asked was the same question Zechariah asked.
[44:55] Speaker 1: They punished one and left another. Because Zechariah was not
[44:58] Speaker 1: highly favored.
[44:59] Speaker 3: But Mary was highly favored. Two of them asked the
[45:02] Speaker 3: same question. When Zechariah was asking the angel, explain to
[45:07] Speaker 3: me the dynamics of my... He said, she shut his mouth.
[45:10] Speaker 3: And yet Mary said, how shall these things be? And
[45:13] Speaker 3: the same Gabriel said, let me tell you, the power
[45:16] Speaker 3: of the highest. What kind of unfair thing is that?
[45:21] Speaker 3: But remember, he started by saying you are highly favored.
[45:24] Speaker 3: So anything is with respect to that grace. Ask your
[45:28] Speaker 3: questions because it's on you.
[45:32] Speaker 1: Sit down, sit down. please pay attention don't.
[45:40] Speaker 3: Be distracted if you are distracted it's an attack if
[45:43] Speaker 3: you are distracted it's an attack god has something to
[45:50] Speaker 3: say listen god has something to say.
[45:56] Speaker 1: Listen listen pay.
[45:59] Speaker 5: Attention for god has something to say.
[46:08] Speaker 1: So he said, the power of the highest will come
[46:13] Speaker 1: upon you.
[46:14] Speaker 3: She had to give the angel permission, be it unto
[46:17] Speaker 3: me according to your word.
[46:20] Speaker 1: And the word became flesh.
[46:27] Speaker 3: You will be learning in the course of this teaching.
[46:30] Speaker 3: That there are people on earth who are uncastable. You
[46:33] Speaker 3: can't cast them. If God wants to help you, he
[46:36] Speaker 3: will make them favor you. That's how you pass through
[46:38] Speaker 3: that gate.
[46:39] Speaker 1: Listen. Believers, may God have mercy on us and deliver
[46:44] Speaker 1: us from ignorance.
[46:45] Speaker 3: There are many believers suffering today because the wisdom and
[46:49] Speaker 3: the understanding that makes for living and excelling in the
[46:52] Speaker 3: cosmos is largely absent. And so we continue to pray
[46:57] Speaker 3: in tongues, fall under the anointing, and find out that
[47:00] Speaker 3: we are failing woefully in life. Because the dynamics of
[47:03] Speaker 3: understanding how to live within our sociological context is not there.
[47:08] Speaker 3: This is why God brought the church as an advantage
[47:11] Speaker 3: to society.
[47:14] Speaker 1: Are we together? Yes. This world you see is the
[47:18] Speaker 1: world of man.
[47:20] Speaker 3: And if you do not understand the dynamics of favor.
[47:23] Speaker 1: You can be called of God.
[47:25] Speaker 3: You can be anointed having encounters in.
[47:27] Speaker 1: The secret place. But you will be surprised that you
[47:30] Speaker 1: may never live out your destiny. Favor.
[47:35] Speaker 3: Every result you see in this kingdom is tied to favor.
[47:42] Speaker 1: Every. Are we still together? Please write this down. You
[47:47] Speaker 1: need favor. Favor.
[47:49] Speaker 3: To achieve your goals. And fulfill your divine destiny in Christ.
[47:54] Speaker 3: You need favor. You need favor. To achieve your goals.
[48:00] Speaker 3: You need favor. To fulfill your divine destiny in Christ.
[48:06] Speaker 3: How true this is. Especially because of the times that
[48:09] Speaker 3: we live in.
[48:10] Speaker 1: You need favor. To achieve your goals. You need favor.
[48:14] Speaker 1: To live out your divine destiny. What is favor? Favor
[48:24] Speaker 1: is when God raises men to.
[48:26] Speaker 3: Invest their time, invest their resources, invest their credibility over
[48:33] Speaker 3: your destiny.
[48:35] Speaker 1: When God raises men to.
[48:37] Speaker 3: Invest their time, invest their resources, invest their credibility.
[48:46] Speaker 1: Look at me believers.
[48:48] Speaker 3: Do you know most of the things we pray for,
[48:51] Speaker 3: the answers are not.
[48:52] Speaker 1: Coming from heaven. The answers are already on earth.
[48:55] Speaker 3: And most of the things we pray for today, most
[48:58] Speaker 3: of them are man dependent. The prayer requests of many
[49:02] Speaker 3: people are on the tables of certain individuals on earth
[49:06] Speaker 3: and even in this city.
[49:07] Speaker 1: It is within their power.
[49:10] Speaker 3: Literally one signature sustains the power to turn a man's
[49:14] Speaker 3: life around.
[49:15] Speaker 1: It is true. Hmm.
[49:23] Speaker 3: How many great men and women of God called and
[49:26] Speaker 3: loved so passionately by God.
[49:29] Speaker 1: Who love God with all their heart.
[49:31] Speaker 3: But they have not submitted themselves to the spiritual intelligence.
[49:34] Speaker 3: Accessing this grace to excel in life and ministry. I
[49:38] Speaker 3: have met anointed men and women on earth.
[49:41] Speaker 1: I am telling you. I have met anointed men and
[49:44] Speaker 1: women in this nation.
[49:47] Speaker 3: And I look at their life and I see their
[49:49] Speaker 3: sincerity and passion for God. But I can look and
[49:52] Speaker 3: with uncanny precision, I can point the gaps, the absence
[49:58] Speaker 3: of the graces in their lives that should work in
[50:00] Speaker 3: synergy to produce an enviable destiny.
[50:03] Speaker 1: One of them being favor. Many of you are very hardworking.
[50:08] Speaker 1: You are sincere.
[50:10] Speaker 3: You love the Lord. Many of us have seen our
[50:12] Speaker 3: loved ones very hardworking. It is the absence of favor
[50:20] Speaker 3: that has led to this statement, life is unfair.
[50:23] Speaker 1: You hear people say so. Life is unfair. Are we together?
[50:32] Speaker 3: I have seen the advantage and the blessings of carrying
[50:35] Speaker 3: the grace of favor.
[50:37] Speaker 1: And there is a disadvantage.
[50:39] Speaker 3: There is a serious disadvantage if you do not carry favor.
[50:44] Speaker 3: Let me be honest with you. In this life I
[50:48] Speaker 3: have discovered and I keep discovering. As God helps me
[50:51] Speaker 3: to advance in my life and God helps me in
[50:54] Speaker 3: leadership and ministry. I have found out people really don't
[50:59] Speaker 3: care about you. This is a very painful revelation. It
[51:02] Speaker 3: takes a long time usually for people. People don't care
[51:05] Speaker 3: about you at all. They are passionately obsessed with making
[51:10] Speaker 3: a meaning out of their own lives. So whatever will
[51:13] Speaker 3: make them live their own affairs and zoom their attention
[51:17] Speaker 3: to you has to be divine. Listen, most of us
[51:21] Speaker 3: have this superstitious idea that just because I love God,
[51:26] Speaker 3: everybody will shut down.
[51:27] Speaker 1: On their destinies and just pay attention to me. No, sir.
[51:33] Speaker 3: A person the other day, I sat in church and
[51:35] Speaker 3: someone was looking at.
[51:36] Speaker 1: Me and smiling.
[51:37] Speaker 3: My brother, as he was looking at you, he was
[51:39] Speaker 3: thinking about something else. I can almost tell you, you
[51:42] Speaker 3: are not the one he was looking at. I'm not
[51:44] Speaker 3: being sarcastic. Have you seen people talk and walk and
[51:48] Speaker 3: you think they are talking to you? But they are
[51:50] Speaker 3: talking about themselves? How is this wrench going to come? Say, sorry,
[51:54] Speaker 3: I'm not talking to you.
[51:55] Speaker 1: I'm discussing something serious. Listen. Do you know why I'm
[52:02] Speaker 1: teaching you this? It's not just to laugh and to scorn.
[52:07] Speaker 3: If it is true that your success does not just
[52:10] Speaker 3: depend the dynamics of the manifestation now. It's God in
[52:14] Speaker 3: partnership to men to make it happen. And these men
[52:17] Speaker 3: are currently distracted pursuing their own destinies. What do you
[52:21] Speaker 3: think will make those men to leave whatever it is.
[52:25] Speaker 3: And then turn to you and give you dedicated investment
[52:29] Speaker 3: of their time and energy. Dedicated investment of their resources.
[52:33] Speaker 3: Dedicated investment of their energy. Allow you to climb and
[52:37] Speaker 3: leverage upon them. I was preaching.
[52:41] Speaker 1: Calm down.
[52:43] Speaker 3: I was preaching years ago. And a man of God
[52:47] Speaker 3: preached before me. And he shared a story that I
[52:50] Speaker 3: found very, very powerful. Pay attention to the story. This
[52:54] Speaker 3: is what he said. That there was a senior advocate.
[52:58] Speaker 1: I think in this country or so or around the world.
[53:01] Speaker 3: Very senior, senior legal practitioner. Very wealthy, very successful, influential.
[53:08] Speaker 3: One whose name is a key. You know, names can
[53:11] Speaker 3: be two things. Keys or padlocks. But this one, his
[53:16] Speaker 3: name is a key. And there was this young lawyer
[53:21] Speaker 3: who had tried.
[53:22] Speaker 1: And tried, tried to set up his firm. It failed.
[53:25] Speaker 1: Very sincere, smart gentleman. Watch this.
[53:28] Speaker 3: And he was really frustrated. And he went to God
[53:32] Speaker 3: in prayer and said, Lord, change my life. Things have
[53:35] Speaker 3: to change. And every time he would stand, he would
[53:38] Speaker 3: see some of these top clients, institutions, running around to
[53:42] Speaker 3: talk to that senior advocate. To help them, you know,
[53:45] Speaker 3: in all kinds of legal services. And these people would
[53:49] Speaker 3: be bidding for millions, millions of dollars. And that gentleman
[53:53] Speaker 3: felt life was so unfair. I'm just looking for a
[53:56] Speaker 3: fraction of this thing. Look what they want to give
[53:58] Speaker 3: this man and he's leaving them. What kind of thing
[54:01] Speaker 3: is this? When God wanted to help that gentleman, this
[54:04] Speaker 3: is what happened. In the presence, I think they were
[54:08] Speaker 3: at a conference. And there were several people, businessmen, billionaires, other.
[54:13] Speaker 1: Lawyers, the captains of industry.
[54:16] Speaker 3: And this young man came and cried and said, sir,
[54:20] Speaker 3: please help me.
[54:21] Speaker 1: Please change my life. And the man said, okay, I
[54:24] Speaker 1: will help you. And he said, follow me.
[54:28] Speaker 3: And he came out of the veranda. And everybody was
[54:31] Speaker 3: looking at him. Oh, this is that our senior advocate.
[54:34] Speaker 3: What is he doing with this guy? Then he began
[54:37] Speaker 3: to talk with him. So how are you?
[54:38] Speaker 1: How is your wife? I said, sir, that's not the issue.
[54:41] Speaker 1: He said, just talk to me. And they were walking together.
[54:44] Speaker 1: How are you? Are you eating well? Are you taking care?
[54:47] Speaker 1: And he was angry. He was saying, sir, the issue
[54:50] Speaker 1: is that I'm hungry.
[54:52] Speaker 3: And the man said, he walked with him. And when
[54:55] Speaker 3: he walked with him, he got into his office and said,
[54:58] Speaker 3: if you still fail, don't come to.
[55:00] Speaker 1: My office again. Listen, listen. Do you know, you know
[55:06] Speaker 1: what he was doing?
[55:08] Speaker 3: People were saying who is this man please sit down
[55:18] Speaker 3: sit down and learn you are in the house of
[55:19] Speaker 3: god the gentleman came out true story he was about
[55:29] Speaker 3: to look for a bike to go home and someone
[55:33] Speaker 3: stopped him and said sorry i saw you with this
[55:37] Speaker 3: man um listen listen he did not even ask him
[55:40] Speaker 3: if he was in he said sorry we've been trying
[55:43] Speaker 3: to get him to negotiate a deal for us but
[55:45] Speaker 3: he our rate.
[55:46] Speaker 1: Can we please can we work with you and he
[55:50] Speaker 1: mentioned a.
[55:50] Speaker 3: Rate that was a breakthrough and the gentleman was wise
[55:53] Speaker 3: to compose himself listen true story The moment he did that,
[56:01] Speaker 3: God granted him grace, called some of his partners and
[56:04] Speaker 3: worked together. And within a year, this gentleman got a
[56:08] Speaker 3: gift and went back to the office of that senior advocate.
[56:12] Speaker 1: He knelt down and said, thank you for changing my life.
[56:15] Speaker 1: Then the senior advocate asked him, he said, do you
[56:17] Speaker 1: know what happened to you? That's what I'm interested in.
[56:21] Speaker 1: Keep your gift. You have to study what happened to.
[56:24] Speaker 3: You so that you will use it on others too.
[56:26] Speaker 3: Favor is when an individual invests his credibility on you.
[56:40] Speaker 1: Listen carefully. Who likes you in this kingdom?
[56:48] Speaker 3: For many of us, we live in a world where
[56:50] Speaker 3: the only thing we know is money. Once money is
[56:53] Speaker 3: not in front of you, you don't care about any
[56:55] Speaker 3: other thing again. If they keep money and they keep men,
[56:58] Speaker 3: you will carry money and it will finish and you
[57:00] Speaker 3: will go back to square one. There are seven currencies
[57:10] Speaker 3: that we use to purchase realities in this kingdom. Everything
[57:13] Speaker 3: is bought. There are seven currencies. The least of them
[57:17] Speaker 3: is money. I pray for you Koinonia from the depth
[57:22] Speaker 3: of my heart. May you never be so poor that
[57:24] Speaker 3: the only thing you have is money. Let me pray
[57:33] Speaker 3: that prayer again. And I say it with every sense
[57:37] Speaker 3: of responsibility.
[57:38] Speaker 1: May you never be so poor that the only thing
[57:41] Speaker 1: you have is money in your ATM. Let me say that.
[57:48] Speaker 1: There are superior currencies.
[57:53] Speaker 3: Money itself, you see, we have a series on finances coming.
[57:58] Speaker 3: But money itself, you see, is a product. There is
[58:03] Speaker 3: a capital that buys it. The name of the capital
[58:07] Speaker 3: that buys money is what the Bible calls true riches.
[58:11] Speaker 1: Money itself is a product. Are you getting what I'm
[58:15] Speaker 1: teaching you now? Yes. If I want to buy this Bible, come. Come.
[58:21] Speaker 1: Lift this up. If you want to buy this Bible,
[58:26] Speaker 1: will you be offended if I bring out money just
[58:28] Speaker 1: to use? Okay, watch this. Please watch this. For instance,
[58:34] Speaker 1: this is a $ 100 bill. Lift it up. Watch this.
[58:38] Speaker 1: Let's assume this.
[58:39] Speaker 2: Is $ 100.
[58:40] Speaker 1: People are following from around the world, so we are
[58:42] Speaker 1: using something universal. If this... If you want to buy
[58:47] Speaker 1: this product, you need this. Is that true?
[58:50] Speaker 3: That means if I give you this, you start smiling
[58:52] Speaker 3: because this is already a victim of the abundance of this.
[58:57] Speaker 3: But if you want to buy this, what do you use?
[59:00] Speaker 3: Because this is also a product. What do you use
[59:04] Speaker 3: to buy this? Money buys this. But what if it
[59:11] Speaker 3: is money you want to buy itself? What do you
[59:14] Speaker 3: use to buy it? The one who is wealthy is
[59:18] Speaker 3: not the one who has this. The one who is
[59:21] Speaker 3: wealthy is one who has the capital that buys this.
[59:27] Speaker 5: I've made up my mind To go God's way for
[59:31] Speaker 5: the rest of my life.
[59:35] Speaker 1: I've made up my mind. You know.
[59:41] Speaker 3: Many people believe that preachers are unintelligent people and when
[59:45] Speaker 3: it has to do with salvation alone that they.
[59:48] Speaker 1: Have something to say. When it has to do with
[59:50] Speaker 1: the matters that help people to excel and live a.
[59:53] Speaker 3: Victorious Christian life while serving the purposes of the kingdom
[59:57] Speaker 3: with dignity and honor. Most people believe the house of
[1:00:00] Speaker 3: God is not the go-to place.
[1:00:04] Speaker 1: It's a wrong narrative.
[1:00:05] Speaker 3: And I hope that by these meetings, God is changing
[1:00:09] Speaker 3: our minds. The church is not a news and civilization.
[1:00:13] Speaker 3: Please understand this. Not every man of God is moving
[1:00:16] Speaker 3: around trying to look for money and manipulate people. There
[1:00:19] Speaker 3: are people who fear God sincerely and intend to be
[1:00:22] Speaker 3: contributors to nation building.
[1:00:26] Speaker 1: Are you learning?
[1:00:27] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[1:00:28] Speaker 1: Thank you. Now listen. Pay attention.
[1:00:33] Speaker 3: Favor One person, write this down please. One person can
[1:00:46] Speaker 3: be used by God to open a hundred doors of
[1:00:50] Speaker 3: opportunity for you. One man can be used by God.
[1:00:54] Speaker 3: Remember God has to be in the equation. One man
[1:00:58] Speaker 3: can be used by God to open more than a
[1:01:01] Speaker 3: hundred doors.
[1:01:02] Speaker 1: Of opportunity for you. This is very, very important. When
[1:01:14] Speaker 1: I realized, respectfully speaking, that I.
[1:01:17] Speaker 3: Didn't have all the advantage that would be needed to
[1:01:22] Speaker 3: serve the purposes of the kingdom effectively. It does not
[1:01:26] Speaker 3: take money to have an encounter with Jesus Christ. It
[1:01:29] Speaker 3: doesn't take resources. It doesn't take access. It doesn't even
[1:01:32] Speaker 3: take influence. It just takes passion and hunger. Let me
[1:01:35] Speaker 3: tell you where the challenge of many believers come from.
[1:01:39] Speaker 3: The average believer usually gets born again, say on campus.
[1:01:44] Speaker 1: Or maybe while schooling. Is that true?
[1:01:47] Speaker 3: And as a student, most times the emphasis is just
[1:01:51] Speaker 3: on your spiritual growth and your academics.
[1:01:53] Speaker 1: You can't be talking to a.
[1:01:54] Speaker 3: Student about, you know, accessing some of these things. There
[1:01:57] Speaker 3: may be distractions at that level. So the only message
[1:02:00] Speaker 3: is messages that relate to pressing into God, depths in
[1:02:04] Speaker 3: the spirit, you know, prayer and fasting, consecration, love for
[1:02:07] Speaker 3: God and all of these things. But sooner or later,
[1:02:11] Speaker 3: that person now becomes a family person.
[1:02:13] Speaker 1: There are real responsibilities that are now added. Is that true?
[1:02:17] Speaker 3: You will have to redesign your teachings as an effective
[1:02:20] Speaker 3: man of God. To do well, to help the people
[1:02:22] Speaker 3: remain spiritually in touch.
[1:02:25] Speaker 1: Passionately in love with.
[1:02:26] Speaker 3: God but at the same time you must now supply
[1:02:29] Speaker 3: them the keys that help them to excel in their
[1:02:32] Speaker 3: career in their life while serving the purposes of the
[1:02:35] Speaker 3: kingdom otherwise sooner or later they will be distracted by
[1:02:40] Speaker 3: the need to make a living and they will leave
[1:02:43] Speaker 3: the things of god it will cancel out all your
[1:02:45] Speaker 3: investment of many years I can tell you one of
[1:02:51] Speaker 3: the reasons why many believers are not serious with God
[1:02:54] Speaker 3: is because they have not engaged these systems of advantage.
[1:02:58] Speaker 1: To help them be victorious. The Bible says, hitherto you
[1:03:01] Speaker 1: have asked for nothing.
[1:03:02] Speaker 3: It says to ask that you should receive to the
[1:03:05] Speaker 3: end that your joy may be full. Is someone following tonight?
[1:03:18] Speaker 3: Many sincere people in this country. Many sincere people around Africa.
[1:03:23] Speaker 3: Many sincere people in this city. And probably many sincere
[1:03:27] Speaker 3: people seated and listening to me. Desire to live for Jesus.
[1:03:32] Speaker 3: Desire to love Him with all their hearts. Desire to
[1:03:36] Speaker 3: serve the purposes of the kingdom in truth. But that
[1:03:40] Speaker 3: may not be possible until.
[1:03:43] Speaker 1: You access these systems of advantage.
[1:03:45] Speaker 3: When they work in your life, they now afford you
[1:03:48] Speaker 3: the time. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, it takes time to
[1:03:52] Speaker 3: seek God. It takes time to teach your children the
[1:03:55] Speaker 3: things of God.
[1:03:56] Speaker 1: It takes time.
[1:03:57] Speaker 3: There is so much destruction.
[1:03:59] Speaker 1: In our world today.
[1:04:01] Speaker 3: You can't lock yourself for two, three days to say
[1:04:04] Speaker 3: I'm seeking the face.
[1:04:05] Speaker 1: Of God because there are bills.
[1:04:07] Speaker 3: Society will call you irresponsible even though you call yourself
[1:04:10] Speaker 3: a passionate believer. I know many people who started well
[1:04:18] Speaker 3: in ministry. Many sincere people who loved God with all
[1:04:22] Speaker 3: their hearts. Some of them today are not in ministry
[1:04:24] Speaker 3: because the needs and the.
[1:04:26] Speaker 1: Cares of life just strangled away their passion for God.
[1:04:33] Speaker 3: Respectfully speaking, some of us, you go and meet our
[1:04:35] Speaker 3: parents at home and in the villages, and you talk
[1:04:38] Speaker 3: to them about loving God and having passion for God,
[1:04:40] Speaker 3: and they look at you and pity you so much.
[1:04:43] Speaker 3: They say, listen, let me tell you, I was the
[1:04:45] Speaker 3: protocol to T.L. Osborne when he came into Nigeria. So
[1:04:48] Speaker 3: all these things you are doing, we did it before.
[1:04:52] Speaker 3: Why should someone become that frustrated? Do you know there
[1:04:55] Speaker 3: are believers today who are angry at God because it.
[1:04:58] Speaker 1: Looks like he's scammed them?
[1:05:00] Speaker 3: He gave them a proposal that they will have a
[1:05:02] Speaker 3: victorious life they left idol worship and left everything and
[1:05:05] Speaker 3: came to him and the only thing they caught was
[1:05:08] Speaker 3: spiritual fire Not accessing the systems of advantage in the
[1:05:16] Speaker 3: kingdom will make God appear like a wicked and cruel
[1:05:19] Speaker 3: and self-centered God. You see, the way preachers teach about God,
[1:05:25] Speaker 3: if you do not understand who God is, your conclusion
[1:05:29] Speaker 3: will be that God must be a wicked.
[1:05:31] Speaker 1: And a cruel king.
[1:05:32] Speaker 3: Here's the proposition. Live everything and love God. Doesn't matter
[1:05:37] Speaker 3: what happens to you. Don't worry about it. You just
[1:05:39] Speaker 3: focus on this God. He gave his life to you.
[1:05:42] Speaker 3: Give your own to him in return. Sacrifice everything and
[1:05:46] Speaker 3: love him. What about my children? Just forget about them.
[1:05:48] Speaker 3: He will take control. You just keep praying and make
[1:05:51] Speaker 3: sure you love the Lord. Now your children are saying, Daddy,
[1:05:54] Speaker 3: this God you are talking about, is it that he
[1:05:56] Speaker 3: does not see that we have needs?
[1:05:57] Speaker 1: Don't worry.
[1:05:58] Speaker 3: The most important thing is, I love Jesus with all
[1:06:01] Speaker 3: my heart. Until children become teenagers, teenagers become angry youths
[1:06:06] Speaker 3: who help to kill you. You come to them, they say, look,
[1:06:10] Speaker 3: I was a pastor's child. Don't you dare talk to
[1:06:12] Speaker 3: me about this thing about God. Our world today has
[1:06:16] Speaker 3: several options. If we do not teach these things in
[1:06:20] Speaker 3: its entirety, let me tell you.
[1:06:22] Speaker 1: We are going to lose a whole generation. I assure you.
[1:06:26] Speaker 3: I need to put things in perspective so you don't
[1:06:29] Speaker 3: think we are just carnally talking about success and victory.
[1:06:33] Speaker 3: There is nothing we are discussing that is in isolation
[1:06:35] Speaker 3: to kingdom come.
[1:06:36] Speaker 1: We are a people of vision.
[1:06:38] Speaker 3: People who passionately love God. So everything we are communicating
[1:06:42] Speaker 3: is a subset put together to make the believer become victorious.
[1:06:47] Speaker 3: You ignore what I am teaching you sooner or later.
[1:06:51] Speaker 3: Sooner or later. You may regret it. I bow my
[1:07:03] Speaker 3: knees to the Lord in gratitude today that when the
[1:07:07] Speaker 3: Holy Spirit brought this dimension, in addition to my passion
[1:07:11] Speaker 3: for Jesus, my loving Him, which remains my priority in
[1:07:14] Speaker 3: life and in death.
[1:07:16] Speaker 1: That I did not ignore this other aspect.
[1:07:19] Speaker 3: I probably today would have also been an unfortunate preacher.
[1:07:23] Speaker 3: Manipulating people. You think if I'm hungry and my needs
[1:07:27] Speaker 3: are not met. And hunger is pressing me indefinitely. And
[1:07:31] Speaker 3: I have the prophetic and you are here.
[1:07:32] Speaker 1: Oh come on. Sit down, sit down.
[1:07:40] Speaker 3: I am by no means trying to insult the body
[1:07:43] Speaker 3: of Christ.
[1:07:44] Speaker 1: No.
[1:07:44] Speaker 3: I am saying the systems of advantage are some of
[1:07:47] Speaker 3: the sponsors of integrity.
[1:07:49] Speaker 7: Please hear me.
[1:07:57] Speaker 3: As a man of God, you do not know this
[1:07:58] Speaker 3: and you do not learn this. You don't learn these principles.
[1:08:02] Speaker 3: You will be surprised at the things you will eventually do.
[1:08:06] Speaker 3: You may never believe that one day you can manipulate
[1:08:09] Speaker 3: a rich man or manipulate someone.
[1:08:11] Speaker 1: Oh, I fear God with all my heart. The day
[1:08:13] Speaker 1: your wife gets on her knees and her children and say, look,
[1:08:16] Speaker 1: I'm tired of this, your thing. The devil will come
[1:08:19] Speaker 1: to you again. I came to you 10 years ago.
[1:08:21] Speaker 1: You say, I fear God. Now I've come to you
[1:08:23] Speaker 1: in light of your needs. I love you forever. I
[1:08:32] Speaker 1: love you forever. I love you.
[1:08:37] Speaker 11: Forever, Lord. I love you forever. I love you forever.
[1:08:49] Speaker 8: I love you forever, Lord.
[1:08:56] Speaker 1: Regardless your background. Listen to me.
[1:08:59] Speaker 3: Regardless the disadvantages that surround your life, I introduce to
[1:09:04] Speaker 3: you tonight a system of advantage.
[1:09:06] Speaker 1: There is a grace called favor. It can come upon
[1:09:10] Speaker 1: an individual.
[1:09:11] Speaker 3: It came upon a villager called Esther and took her
[1:09:15] Speaker 3: from the village of To the palace.
[1:09:18] Speaker 1: Favor.
[1:09:19] Speaker 3: The lifting power of favor. Not even Jesus disregarded it.
[1:09:24] Speaker 1: When he walked upon the earth. And Jesus grew. In wisdom.
[1:09:30] Speaker 1: In stature. In favor.
[1:09:33] Speaker 3: I've had the honor and the privilege. Of searching the
[1:09:35] Speaker 3: life of our fathers of faith. Men who have run
[1:09:38] Speaker 3: this race. And gone before us.
[1:09:40] Speaker 1: And have found out.
[1:09:42] Speaker 3: That in all their getting. They did not ignore favor.
[1:09:52] Speaker 3: Can I share with you a few keys as we pray?
[1:09:55] Speaker 3: Because we are going to pray. There are about four
[1:10:05] Speaker 3: or five keys that I want to give you tonight
[1:10:08] Speaker 3: that control and activate this grace called favor. And it
[1:10:14] Speaker 3: is my prayer in the name of Jesus for you
[1:10:17] Speaker 3: who are here and all who are following me That
[1:10:21] Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus you obtain grace to walk
[1:10:24] Speaker 3: in keeping with these principles. This is the good understanding
[1:10:28] Speaker 3: that brings favor. I assure you, many of you, you see,
[1:10:31] Speaker 3: let me tell you, within a short time, you will
[1:10:35] Speaker 3: be surprised to see the beauty and the glory that
[1:10:37] Speaker 3: comes out of your life. And you see, the surprising
[1:10:41] Speaker 3: thing is that your prayer life will not go down.
[1:10:44] Speaker 1: No, you are learning God's way.
[1:10:46] Speaker 3: The surprising thing is that your passion for God will.
[1:10:49] Speaker 1: Even be ever increasing. Are we together? Key number one.
[1:10:59] Speaker 3: The first key that activates this grace, this mysterious grace
[1:11:06] Speaker 3: called favor in the life of individuals, the life of businesses, companies, Politicians, businessmen,
[1:11:16] Speaker 3: ministers of the gospel, churches. It doesn't matter who. It's
[1:11:21] Speaker 3: a principle that works for everybody.
[1:11:23] Speaker 1: Are you ready? Key number one. Honor.
[1:11:29] Speaker 3: The first key that controls favor is honor. Please write
[1:11:37] Speaker 3: it down. Honor is the key.
[1:11:42] Speaker 1: To access.
[1:11:44] Speaker 3: Anytime a door closes before you. And refuses to open.
[1:11:48] Speaker 3: I can tell you. The name of the padlock that
[1:11:51] Speaker 3: was used to lock that door.
[1:11:53] Speaker 1: Is called dishonor. Let's define honor very quickly. What is honor?
[1:11:59] Speaker 3: Honor is the discerning. Please write it down. Honor is
[1:12:05] Speaker 3: the discerning. Honor is the celebrating honor. And honor is
[1:12:12] Speaker 3: the rewarding of men for their distinctive difference. The discerning,
[1:12:21] Speaker 3: the rewarding or the celebrating, and the rewarding of men
[1:12:28] Speaker 3: for their distinctive difference, their uniqueness, is called honor.
[1:12:34] Speaker 1: So real honor starts with discernment.
[1:12:40] Speaker 3: All men are equal in christ the same lord is
[1:12:45] Speaker 3: rich unto us but as far as the discipline of
[1:12:48] Speaker 3: purpose the sacrifice of destiny is concerned all men are
[1:12:52] Speaker 3: not the same you must have the fortitude to recognize
[1:12:56] Speaker 3: and to discern the difference in the example i gave
[1:12:59] Speaker 3: you earlier on what what what do you think is
[1:13:02] Speaker 3: the difference between the senior advocate And the young man
[1:13:06] Speaker 3: who was about to start his law practice, I will
[1:13:08] Speaker 3: tell you the difference. The difference is years of investing
[1:13:12] Speaker 3: to build credibility. The difference is years and pain, years
[1:13:16] Speaker 3: of mistake. And the price that that senior advocate had
[1:13:20] Speaker 3: to pay to learn. When you honor men, listen to me,
[1:13:23] Speaker 3: it's not human worship. There is human worship which is wrong.
[1:13:28] Speaker 3: But I can tell you this, great men are not
[1:13:30] Speaker 3: great by mistake. They are testaments of endurance. We live
[1:13:34] Speaker 3: in a world that has mastered the art.
[1:13:36] Speaker 1: Of trivializing people. You see a wealthy man, you begin
[1:13:42] Speaker 1: to curse him and say, wicked Nigerians. All of you
[1:13:46] Speaker 1: just destroying our money.
[1:13:47] Speaker 3: Yet that man was born and he slept under a.
[1:13:50] Speaker 1: Bridge one day.
[1:13:54] Speaker 3: You see a man of God who is anointed and
[1:13:56] Speaker 3: blessed and God is showing him mercy. And you may say,
[1:13:59] Speaker 3: I don't mind all these people. God just gave them
[1:14:01] Speaker 3: grace and they.
[1:14:02] Speaker 1: Are acting as if.
[1:14:05] Speaker 3: Listen, Africa we must learn this. Nigeria we must learn this.
[1:14:10] Speaker 3: The church we must learn this. We are equal in Christ.
[1:14:14] Speaker 1: But the men and women.
[1:14:15] Speaker 3: You see who are the gatekeepers today.
[1:14:18] Speaker 1: Many of these men if they tell you.
[1:14:20] Speaker 3: Their stories you will end up in tears.
[1:14:23] Speaker 1: Testaments of endurance.
[1:14:24] Speaker 3: I was returning back from Lagos and the pilot that
[1:14:38] Speaker 3: flew us to return when they were introducing the man
[1:14:43] Speaker 3: they said this is an award winning so so so
[1:14:47] Speaker 3: so and so and so one of the best and
[1:14:49] Speaker 3: the finest in the industry and When they said that
[1:14:54] Speaker 3: we're happy, when we lifted all through the flight and
[1:14:58] Speaker 3: when we landed, even me, I clapped. I said, that man, truly,
[1:15:03] Speaker 3: he deserves every accolade. You can see the difference. You
[1:15:05] Speaker 3: can see the intelligence and the professionalism.
[1:15:09] Speaker 1: Now for someone, you say, oh, pilots are pilots.
[1:15:12] Speaker 3: Until the other version of this excellence flies you.
[1:15:16] Speaker 1: Are we together now? Yes, sir. god's grace absolutely phenomenal.
[1:15:27] Speaker 3: People custodians of wisdom people who you enter their office
[1:15:32] Speaker 3: and you see awards from one end to the other
[1:15:34] Speaker 3: as if they are selling it and every single one
[1:15:36] Speaker 3: was earned and yet they sit down very humbly now
[1:15:41] Speaker 3: a wise person will quickly drop any man of god
[1:15:44] Speaker 3: thing and say sir what can you teach me within
[1:15:46] Speaker 3: these five minutes these awards are not a showcase let
[1:15:49] Speaker 3: me tell you what most nigerians will do is it
[1:15:51] Speaker 3: just because you are lucky what is award Let me
[1:15:54] Speaker 3: tell you what an award is. An award is a
[1:15:56] Speaker 3: testament that you have paid the price and your world,
[1:16:00] Speaker 3: even though selfish, they've been compelled.
[1:16:02] Speaker 1: To recognize it. Are we learning? Don't be offended. I'm
[1:16:08] Speaker 1: a bit harsh. I'm pushing you for a reason. Honor.
[1:16:13] Speaker 3: The discerning, the celebrating, and the rewarding of men for
[1:16:20] Speaker 3: their distinctive difference.
[1:16:23] Speaker 1: You hear me say this is a house of honor.
[1:16:26] Speaker 1: It is for a reason.
[1:16:28] Speaker 3: Seated here, the overflows and following online are thousands and
[1:16:33] Speaker 3: eventually will evolve to millions of people. Some of these
[1:16:37] Speaker 3: people are absolutely phenomenal people. Some of the people you
[1:16:40] Speaker 3: may be sitting close to today, by the protocol of
[1:16:44] Speaker 3: their profession, you may not even have the access to
[1:16:47] Speaker 3: sit close to them.
[1:16:50] Speaker 1: Is that true? Many preachers have closed the door of
[1:16:54] Speaker 1: favor because of dishonor.
[1:16:56] Speaker 3: In as much as you are anointed, remember you are
[1:16:59] Speaker 3: captain only within your jurisdiction.
[1:17:06] Speaker 1: Are we learning? Everybody say honor.
[1:17:10] Speaker 3: Honor is one of the mysteries that when you engage
[1:17:13] Speaker 3: it will bring you favor almost immediately.
[1:17:16] Speaker 1: You keep insulting your boss. This man is a stupid man.
[1:17:20] Speaker 3: As stupid as you think he is, every year he's
[1:17:23] Speaker 3: turning over in billions and he's paying your salary without fail.
[1:17:27] Speaker 1: Yet you call him stupid.
[1:17:34] Speaker 3: Every one of us, under the sound of my voice,
[1:17:36] Speaker 3: I pray that God will grant you grace to have
[1:17:39] Speaker 3: a renewed orientation today. You can literally earn a living
[1:17:45] Speaker 3: practicing honor. That when people say, what are you doing?
[1:17:48] Speaker 3: You say, I'm in real estate.
[1:17:49] Speaker 1: What are you doing? I work with an oil and
[1:17:52] Speaker 1: gas firm. What are you doing? I practice honor. It's
[1:17:55] Speaker 1: only a fool who will laugh at you.
[1:17:58] Speaker 3: You can literally earn a living practicing honor. Honor is
[1:18:04] Speaker 3: a stream of income. A stream of income that does
[1:18:10] Speaker 3: not need capital to start. And yet it is marvelously
[1:18:14] Speaker 3: fail proof.
[1:18:19] Speaker 1: Are we blessed? Oh no. You must discern.
[1:18:25] Speaker 3: Never enter the presence of greatness and act.
[1:18:28] Speaker 1: As if you are not aware of it. No. No.
[1:18:33] Speaker 3: As much as God continues to lift me when I
[1:18:35] Speaker 3: step into the presence of great people.
[1:18:37] Speaker 1: I'm not talking of human worship.
[1:18:39] Speaker 3: No.
[1:18:40] Speaker 1: That is wrong. But to give people.
[1:18:43] Speaker 3: An impression that, look, I am aware of your sacrifices.
[1:18:48] Speaker 1: I am aware of all your sacrifices. of these great things.
[1:18:51] Speaker 1: One of the clearest expressions of honor is gratitude. Ingratitude
[1:18:58] Speaker 1: is a display of dishonor.
[1:19:01] Speaker 3: Someone pays your school fees, takes care of you, sends
[1:19:05] Speaker 3: a million naira to you.
[1:19:07] Speaker 1: And after two days, you reply with a one-word text, thanks.
[1:19:13] Speaker 3: He pays another one, thanks.
[1:19:19] Speaker 1: And it never comes again. Let me tell you, it
[1:19:21] Speaker 1: was not a spirit.
[1:19:22] Speaker 3: Spirits take advantage of our disobedience and ride upon it
[1:19:26] Speaker 3: to help us lock those doors.
[1:19:30] Speaker 1: I'm saying this to.
[1:19:31] Speaker 3: You because there are many of you today who have
[1:19:34] Speaker 3: uncles and have people who in a heartbeat can open doors.
[1:19:38] Speaker 3: But you are surprised why they will not attend to you.
[1:19:41] Speaker 3: And you keep hearing that they are lifting others.
[1:19:43] Speaker 1: It is this honor that has closed that door. You
[1:19:46] Speaker 1: keep having dreams and visions.
[1:19:48] Speaker 3: Of yourself moving forward and excelling in life. Yet it
[1:19:51] Speaker 3: never manifests. Because the conduits, the human conduits who should
[1:19:55] Speaker 3: partner with God for your lifting. You have dishonored and
[1:20:00] Speaker 3: closed that door.
[1:20:03] Speaker 1: Let me challenge you here. Tomorrow is Monday. Work continues.
[1:20:07] Speaker 3: Why don't you take it as a challenge and find something, maybe.
[1:20:12] Speaker 1: A bottle of wine or something. Go and meet your
[1:20:14] Speaker 1: boss if you have access to him. And just greet
[1:20:18] Speaker 1: him and just tell him, look, I just came to
[1:20:20] Speaker 1: say thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
[1:20:23] Speaker 3: It's been five years working with you or working with
[1:20:26] Speaker 3: this company. And I have experienced phenomenal growth.
[1:20:29] Speaker 1: I have learned. I have grown. And this is just
[1:20:33] Speaker 1: me coming.
[1:20:33] Speaker 3: I went to church and I was taught the value
[1:20:36] Speaker 3: of honor. And I want to be a practitioner of
[1:20:39] Speaker 3: the word. I just want to say thank you. Let
[1:20:41] Speaker 3: me tell you what your boss will do. all right
[1:20:44] Speaker 3: all right leave leave usually but there is no man
[1:20:47] Speaker 3: who has vaccination against honor nobody there is no body
[1:20:52] Speaker 3: on earth who can resist honor people will express it
[1:20:56] Speaker 3: in different ways the person looks at you and on
[1:21:00] Speaker 3: that table he is deciding the next set of executives
[1:21:03] Speaker 3: there was one more gap left and he just sought
[1:21:06] Speaker 3: his next executive Your certificate will give you a job
[1:21:11] Speaker 3: but honor will guide your promotion. There is a realm
[1:21:14] Speaker 3: you get to where everybody has the same qualification with you.
[1:21:17] Speaker 3: The distinguishing factor becomes the practice of these mysteries.
[1:21:21] Speaker 1: That's what gives you an edge. Are we together? Please
[1:21:26] Speaker 1: say honor.
[1:21:28] Speaker 3: Practice honor. Practice honor. The cheapest way to practice honor
[1:21:36] Speaker 3: is thanksgiving. Dishonor and say thank you. There are many
[1:21:41] Speaker 3: men who never tell their wives thank you. I don't
[1:21:44] Speaker 3: mean to offend you, but it's true.
[1:21:46] Speaker 1: Thank you for what?
[1:21:46] Speaker 3: I paid her dowry. There are many women who never
[1:21:53] Speaker 3: tell their husbands thank you.
[1:21:54] Speaker 1: What for? The Bible says, There.
[1:21:58] Speaker 3: Are many children who never tell their parents thank you.
[1:22:01] Speaker 3: I didn't ask them to give birth to me. See,
[1:22:03] Speaker 3: all those kinds of thinkings.
[1:22:06] Speaker 1: Thank you. Learn it. Please. Don't just laugh. Learn it.
[1:22:15] Speaker 1: Don't say thanks. No.
[1:22:17] Speaker 3: It's a mediocre way of expressing honor. Don't send people
[1:22:24] Speaker 3: a text and say, there are many people who have
[1:22:26] Speaker 3: done well just to let you know you are one
[1:22:28] Speaker 3: of them.
[1:22:29] Speaker 1: No.
[1:22:30] Speaker 3: When it has to do with communication of honor, you
[1:22:33] Speaker 3: give people a sense of exclusivity. You are that valuable
[1:22:37] Speaker 3: to me. Honor is the discerning, the celebrating, and the rewarding.
[1:22:50] Speaker 3: There are people, for instance, who have shown me honor
[1:22:53] Speaker 3: in my life and by the honor they have shown subconsciously,
[1:22:57] Speaker 3: I have become indebted to them.
[1:23:01] Speaker 1: I'm not saying do it. But I'm just telling you
[1:23:04] Speaker 1: there are people who went that far. Look at Nicodemus.
[1:23:12] Speaker 1: You now know that even though they were not born again,
[1:23:14] Speaker 1: they were wise people.
[1:23:15] Speaker 3: He came to Jesus by night. He didn't say, sit down.
[1:23:19] Speaker 1: I am a Pharisee. Let's talk. He said, Rabbi. He
[1:23:22] Speaker 1: never called him Jesus. Rabbi.
[1:23:26] Speaker 3: We know that thou art a man sent from God.
[1:23:29] Speaker 3: Forget everything we said in the afternoon.
[1:23:31] Speaker 1: We know.
[1:23:32] Speaker 3: It's just our job that makes us do that. We
[1:23:34] Speaker 3: know that thou art a man sent from God. Then
[1:23:39] Speaker 3: he now says, no man can do these things except
[1:23:43] Speaker 3: God be with him.
[1:23:44] Speaker 1: And Jesus said, you won my heart. Let's talk.
[1:23:46] Speaker 3: Verily, verily, I say unto you. He didn't even ask
[1:23:48] Speaker 3: Jesus a question. Jesus started talking. Read your Bible.
[1:23:52] Speaker 1: He had not asked a question yet. You're Jesus. Verily, verily,
[1:23:55] Speaker 1: I say unto you.
[1:23:57] Speaker 3: Except a man be born again he cannot see the
[1:24:00] Speaker 3: kingdom of god then he now said can a man
[1:24:02] Speaker 3: enter he expressed so much ignorance and he said look
[1:24:06] Speaker 3: jesus this is his intelligence and jesus said let me
[1:24:08] Speaker 3: now explain except a man be born of water and
[1:24:11] Speaker 3: of the spirit he shall not enter the kingdom of
[1:24:13] Speaker 3: god and then the wind blew it where it listed
[1:24:15] Speaker 3: jesus began another lecture same thing with the woman at
[1:24:18] Speaker 3: the well Have you noticed that honor is magnetic? It
[1:24:24] Speaker 3: keeps people within your vicinity. It keeps helpers within your vicinity.
[1:24:28] Speaker 3: It's the job of the Holy Ghost to send them
[1:24:30] Speaker 3: to you. It's your job to work in partnership with
[1:24:33] Speaker 3: him to maintain them. Never step into the door of
[1:24:38] Speaker 3: greatness and allow.
[1:24:40] Speaker 1: That door shut you out. No.
[1:24:44] Speaker 3: Honor is what keeps the door open so that your
[1:24:47] Speaker 3: children and your children's children can pass through.
[1:24:55] Speaker 1: There are people.
[1:24:56] Speaker 3: Today when they endorse you, even if you have an
[1:25:00] Speaker 3: enemy who does not like you, they are compelled to
[1:25:02] Speaker 3: bless you because of the power of their sacrifice invested
[1:25:06] Speaker 3: in their signature.
[1:25:09] Speaker 1: We have to hurry up. Are you learning?
[1:25:12] Speaker 3: The celebrating, the rewarding of difference. Turn to the person
[1:25:19] Speaker 3: seated by your left and right and tell them I honor.
[1:25:22] Speaker 1: You, God bless you. Feel embarrassed but still do it.
[1:25:25] Speaker 1: Just say it. Look at me.
[1:25:34] Speaker 3: Let me challenge the young people in our nation and
[1:25:39] Speaker 3: tell you why many people don't have doors. They come
[1:25:43] Speaker 3: to you usually once you are blessed. You have this
[1:25:46] Speaker 3: plethora of relatives who are waiting, angrily entitled, believing that
[1:25:51] Speaker 3: you owe them.
[1:25:52] Speaker 1: And then people just come in. Uncle, how are you?
[1:25:56] Speaker 1: And they just bounce around. And they are seeing people queuing.
[1:25:59] Speaker 3: Your uncle is their CEO and they are respecting the person.
[1:26:02] Speaker 3: And you're just bouncing and coming.
[1:26:04] Speaker 1: How are you?
[1:26:05] Speaker 11: And.
[1:26:07] Speaker 3: Uncle anything for the boys and he looks at you
[1:26:09] Speaker 3: and just manages it gives you something and tells his
[1:26:12] Speaker 3: pa any day you see this boy coming make sure
[1:26:15] Speaker 3: you don't open the door again why because you communicated dishonor.
[1:26:24] Speaker 1: I shared with you okay i'm not sure i've shared
[1:26:27] Speaker 1: it here in abuja a very true story i went
[1:26:30] Speaker 1: for a conference years ago and a man of god
[1:26:32] Speaker 1: shared that story Let me use it to wrap up
[1:26:35] Speaker 1: this subject of honor. So we'll move to the next point.
[1:26:38] Speaker 1: True story.
[1:26:39] Speaker 3: This man was seated. He was a pastor of a church.
[1:26:44] Speaker 3: And God was using him mightily.
[1:26:46] Speaker 1: True story.
[1:26:48] Speaker 3: But back at home, things were not working well, especially financially.
[1:26:51] Speaker 1: Things were a bit rough.
[1:26:53] Speaker 3: And yet he would sit down and the wife would
[1:26:55] Speaker 3: sit down and they would hear testimonies of marvelous things
[1:26:58] Speaker 3: that God was doing. Changing the lives of people. And
[1:27:02] Speaker 3: people would clap. But that man sat down there and
[1:27:04] Speaker 3: there was fire on the mountain in his own house.
[1:27:07] Speaker 3: One time during a service like this, the wife just
[1:27:09] Speaker 3: got up and walked out of the meeting. The man
[1:27:13] Speaker 3: was done, finished his counseling and ran back home.
[1:27:17] Speaker 1: My wife, what happened? Did I offend you? Did I
[1:27:19] Speaker 1: say something during the message? She didn't say anything. And then,
[1:27:24] Speaker 1: he sat at table to eat.
[1:27:27] Speaker 3: And he noticed that the plates that she was using
[1:27:30] Speaker 3: to serve him, you know those, women have those holy
[1:27:34] Speaker 3: of holies plates that only come.
[1:27:37] Speaker 1: Out when there's a triumphant entry. So, that's... Praise the Lord. Now,
[1:27:49] Speaker 1: watch this.
[1:27:51] Speaker 3: She brought those plates and served him and he kept asking,
[1:27:54] Speaker 3: what happened?
[1:27:55] Speaker 1: Did I offend you? We can talk about this. She
[1:27:57] Speaker 1: didn't say anything.
[1:27:59] Speaker 3: Finally, when she brought the last item, kept it on
[1:28:02] Speaker 3: the table, she got down on her knees and she said,
[1:28:06] Speaker 3: servant of God, my home is in trouble. Suddenly, the
[1:28:12] Speaker 3: man said the same anointing he used to feel in
[1:28:14] Speaker 3: the church. came upon him on that dining table and
[1:28:18] Speaker 3: he laid hands not now not on the wife that
[1:28:22] Speaker 3: grace do you know because every time he was at
[1:28:26] Speaker 3: home he was a husband so the anointing for priesthood
[1:28:29] Speaker 3: did not find expression to bring breakthrough the woman was
[1:28:32] Speaker 3: now wise and saying you are my husband but you
[1:28:35] Speaker 3: are also a man of God today is not my
[1:28:37] Speaker 3: husband I'm feeding I'm tired of feeding my husband and
[1:28:40] Speaker 3: receiving compassion i need results so let me let me
[1:28:44] Speaker 3: honor that let me tell you this listen everybody you
[1:28:48] Speaker 3: see is multi-dimensional the dimension you honor is the dimension
[1:28:52] Speaker 3: that delivers to you your father can be a prophet
[1:28:59] Speaker 3: And it can be blessing the nations and never see
[1:29:02] Speaker 3: anything for your life. Your CEO can have a powerful
[1:29:08] Speaker 3: signature that has decided the prosperity of institutions.
[1:29:12] Speaker 1: And yet, you can be seated there and no door opens.
[1:29:17] Speaker 3: He that receives a prophet in the name as touching
[1:29:22] Speaker 3: the office of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward.
[1:29:35] Speaker 3: There are many men of God who don't even waste
[1:29:37] Speaker 3: their time praying for certain people because they know by
[1:29:39] Speaker 3: the Spirit that they are not going to receive anything.
[1:29:42] Speaker 3: The courage of pride that they bring. I'm not talking
[1:29:45] Speaker 3: about kneeling down. You can kneel down and still be
[1:29:48] Speaker 3: standing up in your heart.
[1:29:49] Speaker 1: So I'm not talking of all those things. No.
[1:29:53] Speaker 3: It's settled recognition. Practice this and watch doors open for you.
[1:30:04] Speaker 3: Practice honor. Go back, some of you this night, even
[1:30:08] Speaker 3: though your parents may look aged, they may.
[1:30:11] Speaker 1: Not have money but they have grace. Mama, just to
[1:30:15] Speaker 1: say thank you. Thank you for the honor and the privilege.
[1:30:20] Speaker 1: Every time something is about to happen to me, you
[1:30:22] Speaker 1: see it in your dream. I don't trivialize that grace.
[1:30:25] Speaker 3: And I'll just say, my daughter, the God who helped
[1:30:28] Speaker 3: me in my youth helped you carelessly and that will
[1:30:31] Speaker 3: be it.
[1:30:32] Speaker 1: Doors will begin to open for you at a frequency
[1:30:34] Speaker 1: you may not explain.
[1:30:39] Speaker 3: I am a benefactor of this. I know what I
[1:30:42] Speaker 3: am saying. Many of you have heard my story.
[1:30:46] Speaker 1: Years ago, when we went to preach, I went to
[1:30:49] Speaker 1: preach in Ekiti State. And we flew through Ilorin and
[1:30:55] Speaker 1: then went by road to Ekiti State. And strangely... I
[1:31:01] Speaker 1: started seeing the obituaries of people. And I saw that
[1:31:06] Speaker 1: these people were in their hundreds. 120 something.
[1:31:10] Speaker 3: I said, what is this? We got to a small community.
[1:31:14] Speaker 3: And I saw 132 years old.
[1:31:17] Speaker 1: Someone who had just died. 132. And yet abroad they
[1:31:20] Speaker 1: are busy saying 118 is the oldest man. They should
[1:31:23] Speaker 1: come to Nigeria.
[1:31:26] Speaker 3: When I saw that, I knew that this is no
[1:31:28] Speaker 3: longer luck.
[1:31:29] Speaker 1: There must be a grace within this territory.
[1:31:33] Speaker 3: I returned from the ministration and whilst we were passing there,
[1:31:38] Speaker 3: I stopped at that community. Please pay attention. And the
[1:31:42] Speaker 3: people could not, there was nobody who was speaking English there.
[1:31:45] Speaker 3: They were speaking Yoruba. And I said, please, they should
[1:31:48] Speaker 3: lead us to the oldest man within that place. That
[1:31:52] Speaker 3: I just want to honor him and just have him
[1:31:54] Speaker 3: pray for us. So finally we got someone who could
[1:31:57] Speaker 3: speak limited English. And they took us to one of the,
[1:32:00] Speaker 3: I think he's a man of God, one of the elders.
[1:32:03] Speaker 3: And when I went there, I stood with my dear
[1:32:06] Speaker 3: people and I was talking and then they would interpret. Oh,
[1:32:09] Speaker 3: we're men of God, we just came to respect you
[1:32:11] Speaker 3: and honor you just so that you can.
[1:32:14] Speaker 1: Pray for us. The man laughed. He said, kneel down.
[1:32:16] Speaker 1: He didn't say, you're a man of God, you're an apostle.
[1:32:18] Speaker 1: Kneel down.
[1:32:24] Speaker 3: I got down on my knees with joy and with speed.
[1:32:27] Speaker 3: When that man began to pray, he was praying in.
[1:32:29] Speaker 1: Yoruba, true story.
[1:32:31] Speaker 3: I felt like a crown was just put on my
[1:32:34] Speaker 3: head while he was praying. When he was done, brought
[1:32:37] Speaker 3: out his seed, gave him, and then when we were
[1:32:41] Speaker 3: going to return to the car to continue the journey,
[1:32:44] Speaker 3: I now went to thank some of the women who
[1:32:46] Speaker 3: were gathered that.
[1:32:47] Speaker 1: I was greeting. Did you know that I greeted initially
[1:32:51] Speaker 1: to lead me to that man? When I went there,
[1:32:53] Speaker 1: they now told.
[1:32:54] Speaker 3: Me that this one 32-year-old man who died, that the
[1:32:57] Speaker 3: woman standing there was his wife. Ah, I said, let's
[1:33:01] Speaker 3: go back. The Bible says two shall become one. So
[1:33:05] Speaker 3: the man is dead, but he's still alive in her.
[1:33:07] Speaker 3: She was like 100 and something standing like that, no stick,
[1:33:11] Speaker 3: no nothing. Ah, what sort of a grace is this?
[1:33:16] Speaker 3: And I said, please they should tell her that she
[1:33:18] Speaker 3: has to pray for me before I go.
[1:33:20] Speaker 1: Do you know what happened? The woman tapped me and said,
[1:33:22] Speaker 1: follow me.
[1:33:24] Speaker 3: We entered a room. I didn't care where I was going.
[1:33:26] Speaker 3: I said, when we entered the room, listen. She started
[1:33:30] Speaker 3: showing me pictures. That was the wife of his youth.
[1:33:34] Speaker 3: It was not Keturah in old age. The wife of
[1:33:37] Speaker 3: his youth. And you know people those days, they could
[1:33:40] Speaker 3: marry 17, 18. The wife of his youth. She showed
[1:33:44] Speaker 3: me the picture until maybe about a year or two
[1:33:47] Speaker 3: before he died.
[1:33:48] Speaker 1: And then I said, please, they should tell her.
[1:33:52] Speaker 3: I don't know whether I'll call her my grandmother, now great-grandmother.
[1:33:54] Speaker 3: I said, please pray. When I said so, she said,
[1:33:58] Speaker 3: kneel down. She removed both of her shoes and stepped
[1:34:01] Speaker 3: her feet. I'm showing you the power of honor. She
[1:34:05] Speaker 3: stepped her bare feet on the ground. And began to
[1:34:10] Speaker 3: pray and prophesy and prophesy and prophesy for over 15 minutes.
[1:34:16] Speaker 3: When she was done, I honored her. I entered the
[1:34:18] Speaker 3: car smiling. I ran straight to Zaria.
[1:34:21] Speaker 1: And I told my people, I said, stand up, I've
[1:34:23] Speaker 1: come with some things. Please sit down. He said, such
[1:34:34] Speaker 1: as I have. you can know you have a grace. Honor.
[1:34:45] Speaker 3: There are people today who got lands that they never
[1:34:48] Speaker 3: had to pay for.
[1:34:49] Speaker 1: They honored their way into ownership.
[1:34:53] Speaker 3: There are house helps today who have been given inheritance
[1:34:58] Speaker 3: worth millions and billions because the children were too irresponsible
[1:35:02] Speaker 3: to be trusted with that kind of thing.
[1:35:05] Speaker 1: Honor.
[1:35:06] Speaker 7: Honor.
[1:35:07] Speaker 3: Whilst you're seated in one minute, please just lay your
[1:35:10] Speaker 3: hand on your head and declare, Lord, the.
[1:35:14] Speaker 1: Capacity for honor I receive.
[1:35:17] Speaker 3: I run away from dishonor outside, inside, following online Azaria family.
[1:35:24] Speaker 1: Please pray. I obtain grace.
[1:35:28] Speaker 3: It's time for my life to change.
[1:35:31] Speaker 1: It's time for my life to change. Please pray.
[1:35:42] Speaker 2: Oh.
[1:35:47] Speaker 1: My lifting has come.
[1:35:51] Speaker 2: Oh.
[1:35:56] Speaker 1: My lifting has come.
[1:36:00] Speaker 2: Oh.
[1:36:05] Speaker 12: My rising has come. My rising has come.
[1:36:23] Speaker 7: My lifting has come.
[1:36:32] Speaker 1: My lifting has come. Are you declaring honor?
[1:36:39] Speaker 3: Father, every door that has been closed over my life,
[1:36:43] Speaker 3: through this honor, may your mercy speak. Political doors, closed
[1:36:48] Speaker 3: through this honor. Ministerial relationships, closed through this honor. Access
[1:36:56] Speaker 3: to resources. Access to the credibility of the great. This
[1:37:08] Speaker 3: grace called favor.
[1:37:12] Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Please sit down. Let's continue very quickly.
[1:37:18] Speaker 1: Is God helping someone?
[1:37:20] Speaker 3: Number two, the second key that activates this grace of
[1:37:26] Speaker 3: favor is called value.
[1:37:29] Speaker 1: The second key that.
[1:37:32] Speaker 3: Activates favor in an unquestionable dimension is value.
[1:37:38] Speaker 1: What is value? Value is a measure.
[1:37:41] Speaker 3: Of your usefulness through your ability to provide solutions.
[1:37:47] Speaker 1: A measure of your usefulness. Within the context.
[1:37:53] Speaker 3: Of a civilization, a measure of your usefulness Through your
[1:37:59] Speaker 3: ability to solve problems and to provide supernatural solutions.
[1:38:03] Speaker 1: Or solutions generally. Solutions. Please pay attention. We are praying.
[1:38:15] Speaker 1: Are we together? Please look up. The Bible says... See
[1:38:21] Speaker 1: yet thou a man diligent in his business. He leaves
[1:38:25] Speaker 1: you with an assurance that you will stand before kings.
[1:38:29] Speaker 1: And you will not stand.
[1:38:30] Speaker 3: Before mean men i call it the law of competence
[1:38:34] Speaker 3: it's not enough to just be valuable you have to
[1:38:37] Speaker 3: be exceptionally valuable and your value has to be needed
[1:38:42] Speaker 3: and useful within the context of a civilization listen the
[1:38:47] Speaker 3: kingdom works based on a reward system you have to
[1:38:50] Speaker 3: understand this how do you know you are valuable by
[1:38:54] Speaker 3: who is willing to pursue you how do you know
[1:38:57] Speaker 3: you are valuable by the inconvenience that people can make
[1:39:02] Speaker 3: to have access to you when people begin to complain
[1:39:06] Speaker 3: and give excuses is because you are not valuable enough
[1:39:10] Speaker 3: people press the crowd to meet jesus In the presence
[1:39:14] Speaker 3: of value, pain is no longer a factor. When you
[1:39:18] Speaker 3: find people who are exceptionally valuable, look the efforts, now
[1:39:23] Speaker 3: I'm not promoting herbalists, but just for instance, from a
[1:39:26] Speaker 3: value standpoint, look how people live their dignity and they
[1:39:30] Speaker 3: will go to the bush to see a herbalist. Turn
[1:39:34] Speaker 3: backwards and they turn quietly because you are looking for
[1:39:37] Speaker 3: some favor.
[1:39:41] Speaker 1: Can I tell you this?
[1:39:43] Speaker 3: If people have an excuse, as far as convenience is concerned,
[1:39:49] Speaker 3: to meet you.
[1:39:50] Speaker 1: Is because you are not valuable enough. You must make
[1:39:54] Speaker 1: up your mind. As men and women of God, please
[1:39:58] Speaker 1: listen to me, ministers and co-laborers in the gospel, just because.
[1:40:02] Speaker 3: We are in ministry does not mean we are not valuable.
[1:40:06] Speaker 3: your value may be supernatural in context but you have
[1:40:10] Speaker 3: to understand you can defend the reason why god blesses
[1:40:13] Speaker 3: you through men away with that idea that especially when
[1:40:19] Speaker 3: a man of god prospers people now begin to it's
[1:40:22] Speaker 3: not everybody who is manipulating and and demonstrating lack of
[1:40:26] Speaker 3: integrity The moment there is dispensing of a value, whether
[1:40:30] Speaker 3: it is sold or given free, the law demands, the
[1:40:34] Speaker 3: law of God demands that that.
[1:40:37] Speaker 1: Individual be rewarded. Are we together?
[1:40:45] Speaker 3: Everybody say value. Second to the Bible, I have been
[1:40:52] Speaker 3: marvelously blessed. By men and women that God has raised
[1:40:57] Speaker 3: and honored to carry the baton. Especially within the personal
[1:41:04] Speaker 3: development industry. Especially those whose perspectives are consistent with scripture.
[1:41:11] Speaker 3: They have helped to mold my understanding as far as
[1:41:14] Speaker 3: value is concerned.
[1:41:16] Speaker 1: Listen to me. Let me give you a big key.
[1:41:20] Speaker 3: Focus on developing yourself more than your business plan. It's
[1:41:28] Speaker 3: good to give value, but it's best to be the
[1:41:31] Speaker 3: value yourself.
[1:41:36] Speaker 1: When you develop yourself, I.
[1:41:39] Speaker 3: Have taught us here that success is not what you pursue.
[1:41:43] Speaker 3: If you find yourself pursuing success, you've already missed it.
[1:41:47] Speaker 3: You attract success by who you become more than what
[1:41:50] Speaker 3: you do. Your becoming is greater than your doing. This
[1:41:55] Speaker 3: is where most people miss it. We think that we
[1:41:58] Speaker 3: become successful because of.
[1:41:59] Speaker 1: The things we do.
[1:42:00] Speaker 3: Your doing is only useful when you have become. Your
[1:42:04] Speaker 3: evolution is more important than your doing. The most important
[1:42:08] Speaker 3: thing about success is not what you obtain, but that
[1:42:12] Speaker 3: version of you that has to be attained.
[1:42:14] Speaker 1: To have that result.
[1:42:18] Speaker 3: There is a better cultured version, a more disciplined version,
[1:42:22] Speaker 3: a more spiritual version, a more cautious version. That is
[1:42:26] Speaker 3: the version it takes to obtain the result you are
[1:42:28] Speaker 3: looking for. Your growth is greater than your doing.
[1:42:36] Speaker 1: Are we learning? Make up your mind to be valuable.
[1:42:39] Speaker 1: What does it mean to be valuable?
[1:42:42] Speaker 3: To have the capacity to provide solutions.
[1:42:46] Speaker 1: Listen to me.
[1:42:47] Speaker 3: Your solutions have to be needed and useful don't say
[1:42:52] Speaker 3: I like what I'm doing you are not the one
[1:42:54] Speaker 3: who will pay yourself your solutions have to be needed
[1:43:00] Speaker 3: and useful within the.
[1:43:01] Speaker 1: Context of a civilization.
[1:43:06] Speaker 3: I'll not say much there because of time value train
[1:43:10] Speaker 3: yourself I made up my mind as a covenant commitment,
[1:43:13] Speaker 3: as a man of God, that in every area the
[1:43:16] Speaker 3: Lord would have me serve His purposes. In ministry, leadership,
[1:43:21] Speaker 3: every other area. I will develop myself to the core.
[1:43:26] Speaker 3: Not from a competitive standpoint. I want to be so effective.
[1:43:31] Speaker 3: I learned this from Dr.
[1:43:32] Speaker 1: Myles Munro. As a man of God, he had the
[1:43:35] Speaker 1: largest church in Bahamas.
[1:43:37] Speaker 3: He was an advisor to close to 16.
[1:43:39] Speaker 1: Presidents or thereabout. I hope I got the statistics right.
[1:43:42] Speaker 3: Out of his books, about 40 or 46.
[1:43:45] Speaker 1: Of them were bestsellers. No manipulation.
[1:43:47] Speaker 3: Just the superior content of his understanding. He had relevance
[1:43:53] Speaker 3: across ministry, the political space, economy. and yet he was
[1:44:00] Speaker 3: a disciplined and well-cultured man what a mentor indeed are
[1:44:07] Speaker 3: we learning you must be valuable capacity capacity burn the
[1:44:13] Speaker 3: candles in the night and do not pity yourself while
[1:44:15] Speaker 3: you do that beware of arrival mentality mediocrity is what
[1:44:21] Speaker 3: is destroying people in africa destroying people in this nation
[1:44:25] Speaker 3: destroying people in ministry in business in politics How do
[1:44:29] Speaker 3: you know that your value has gotten to its prime
[1:44:33] Speaker 3: when your audience are only kings? When you find out
[1:44:38] Speaker 3: that you are in the palace, then you can truly
[1:44:41] Speaker 3: say you have tried.
[1:44:42] Speaker 1: If you have not served kings, you are not there yet.
[1:44:46] Speaker 1: When your audience, when your.
[1:44:47] Speaker 3: Recipients are the kings, the kings of an industry, then
[1:44:53] Speaker 3: you know you are valuable. I'm just pointing it out.
[1:44:56] Speaker 3: We're not doing teaching on value necessarily. Again, let me
[1:45:03] Speaker 3: encourage you. Do not stop.
[1:45:06] Speaker 1: Until you serve kings.
[1:45:08] Speaker 3: It is only kings that can reward you in a
[1:45:11] Speaker 3: way that befits your sacrifice. Every other reward is just
[1:45:14] Speaker 3: a support system until you get to the palace. How
[1:45:20] Speaker 3: much did Joseph get for interpreting the dream of the baker?
[1:45:25] Speaker 3: How much did Joseph get for interpreting the dream of the.
[1:45:30] Speaker 3: He got the leverage that took him to the palace.
[1:45:34] Speaker 3: But he solved the king's problem once. You know what
[1:45:37] Speaker 3: he got?
[1:45:38] Speaker 1: Read your Bible.
[1:45:40] Speaker 3: Read what David got for killing Goliath. We worship God.
[1:45:53] Speaker 3: We worship Jesus today. because he's king of kings and
[1:45:57] Speaker 3: lord of lords but we also worship him because he's
[1:46:01] Speaker 3: done something that no god and no man can do
[1:46:04] Speaker 3: nobody has the power to forgive sins and translate you
[1:46:08] Speaker 3: from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his
[1:46:10] Speaker 3: dear son the value the all-surpassing value that he has
[1:46:16] Speaker 3: defeating death hell and the grave the hymn writer says
[1:46:20] Speaker 3: up from the grave he arose every other god every
[1:46:26] Speaker 3: other leader died and did not come back to life
[1:46:31] Speaker 3: but jesus he rose again victorious today he sits at
[1:46:35] Speaker 3: the right hand of the father number three are we
[1:46:41] Speaker 3: learning what is the third key that activates favor relationships
[1:46:48] Speaker 3: relationships relationships Amos chapter 3 and verse 3. Let's hurry
[1:46:55] Speaker 3: up please. Is God speaking to us tonight? The third
[1:46:58] Speaker 3: key that activates this grace called favor is called relationships.
[1:47:04] Speaker 3: Can two work together except they be agreed? The word
[1:47:09] Speaker 3: agreed there means compatible. Your degree of agreeableness can two
[1:47:16] Speaker 3: work together. Two companies, two individuals, a couple can two
[1:47:21] Speaker 3: work together except they be agreed. Listen, the command be
[1:47:28] Speaker 3: fruitful also means be relational. Because everything becomes fruitful on
[1:47:34] Speaker 3: the basis of relationship.
[1:47:35] Speaker 1: Is that true?
[1:47:36] Speaker 3: The relationship between a husband and his wife is how
[1:47:38] Speaker 3: children come. A relationship between you and the Holy Spirit
[1:47:42] Speaker 3: is how the anointing comes. The relationship between you and
[1:47:44] Speaker 3: the word is how understanding comes.
[1:47:48] Speaker 1: Everything multiplies on the basis of relationships.
[1:47:52] Speaker 3: If you do not understand relationships, you will spend your
[1:47:55] Speaker 3: lifetime paying for it. what are relationships I've talked a
[1:47:59] Speaker 3: bit on this advantageous connections relationships are advantageous connections for
[1:48:06] Speaker 3: instance when an umbrella comes to you and points a
[1:48:10] Speaker 3: gun he's close to you but you are not in
[1:48:11] Speaker 3: a relationship because it's not an advantageous connection.
[1:48:15] Speaker 1: He came to steal he came to kill he came to.
[1:48:17] Speaker 3: Destroy relationships are advantageous connections and listen there is an
[1:48:23] Speaker 3: intelligence that has to do with managing relationships many christians
[1:48:29] Speaker 3: do not understand the power of relationships this is where
[1:48:32] Speaker 3: respectfully speaking unbelievers have seemed to have an edge over believers.
[1:48:39] Speaker 1: You may have heard me say it in my teachings.
[1:48:42] Speaker 1: Please look at me.
[1:48:43] Speaker 3: What will make a man fly a private jet from
[1:48:47] Speaker 3: one nation and go to another nation to celebrate the
[1:48:51] Speaker 3: two-year-old birthday of a billionaire's child?
[1:48:55] Speaker 1: Is the child a man's friend? What is he doing
[1:48:59] Speaker 1: in that house?
[1:49:04] Speaker 3: Such a busy man will leave everything and come and
[1:49:07] Speaker 3: invest his time. You see him play someone that does
[1:49:10] Speaker 3: not like children by default. Everybody knows he doesn't like children.
[1:49:14] Speaker 3: Now all of a sudden, because you see, adaptation is
[1:49:16] Speaker 3: proof of honor.
[1:49:19] Speaker 1: You have to be able to adapt. And he's playing.
[1:49:22] Speaker 3: And the man looks at him and says, look, I'm
[1:49:25] Speaker 3: looking for a team of five people that I'll commit
[1:49:27] Speaker 3: to be regional directors of my company.
[1:49:30] Speaker 1: And now that you have come, I trust you.
[1:49:35] Speaker 3: Relationships it is dangerous for you to not have strategic
[1:49:40] Speaker 3: relationships let me give you an advice obtain grace from
[1:49:43] Speaker 3: god to build relationships um i have a i have
[1:49:48] Speaker 3: a teaching on that i've not taught it in abuja
[1:49:51] Speaker 3: but there is a very powerful teaching that that i
[1:49:55] Speaker 3: will i will talk a bit on relationships The moment
[1:50:00] Speaker 3: God lifts you, the first thing to do with your
[1:50:03] Speaker 3: lifting is to use it as a leverage to build relationships.
[1:50:08] Speaker 1: Forget about acquisition.
[1:50:10] Speaker 3: Acquisition is tertiary. The primary goal of lifting.
[1:50:15] Speaker 1: Use it quickly. Because according to the law of times.
[1:50:18] Speaker 3: And seasons, it will not always be like that. So
[1:50:21] Speaker 3: the moment God gives you a window of opportunity, trap
[1:50:24] Speaker 3: your lifting with relationships.
[1:50:27] Speaker 1: Your relationships will keep you afloat.
[1:50:33] Speaker 3: We learning yes relationships relationships the primary relationship being your
[1:50:41] Speaker 3: relationship with the lord jesus christ your relationship with the
[1:50:43] Speaker 3: holy spirit your relationship with the word of god but
[1:50:46] Speaker 3: your relationship with strategic helpers we live today in evil
[1:50:50] Speaker 3: times and i'm praying for you may you have relationships
[1:50:54] Speaker 3: with the police may you have relationships with the judicial
[1:50:58] Speaker 3: system May you have relationships with economically empowered people. May
[1:51:04] Speaker 3: you also have relationships with those you call non-entities. Because
[1:51:08] Speaker 3: the day of their relevance according to the law of
[1:51:10] Speaker 3: time and chance is coming. Listen, do not only have
[1:51:13] Speaker 3: relationships with people who have risen.
[1:51:15] Speaker 1: You've seen their future already.
[1:51:19] Speaker 3: Those who are rising are more powerful than those who
[1:51:23] Speaker 3: have risen.
[1:51:25] Speaker 1: The Bible says it does not yet appear what we
[1:51:28] Speaker 1: shall be like. Can I tell you this?
[1:51:31] Speaker 3: If you were not there for people at their state
[1:51:33] Speaker 3: of infancy, don't expect to be invited at the table
[1:51:36] Speaker 3: of greatness when they arrive there.
[1:51:38] Speaker 1: They only remember who helped them rise. Relationships. Strategic connections.
[1:51:46] Speaker 3: Don't look for wealthy and blessed people alone. Many of us,
[1:51:50] Speaker 3: our relationship is just for wealthy. Already clearly it suggests
[1:51:54] Speaker 3: that it's a parasitic relationship. Some of us see, some
[1:52:00] Speaker 3: of these are young ones, these small children come, you
[1:52:02] Speaker 3: push them around, I want to see Joshua Selman. And
[1:52:05] Speaker 3: you push the next prophet without knowing. This is why
[1:52:12] Speaker 3: it's good to show honor to all men. Those above you,
[1:52:16] Speaker 3: your contemporaries, and those supposedly below you.
[1:52:25] Speaker 1: Relationships. Hallelujah. Please look up. Let me challenge you.
[1:52:31] Speaker 3: Is there someone in your life today that you can
[1:52:35] Speaker 3: actually pick the call and call him or her and say, please,
[1:52:40] Speaker 3: I am in need of a financial situation.
[1:52:42] Speaker 1: Help me. Not borrow me. Help me.
[1:52:45] Speaker 3: And the person will say, I love you too much.
[1:52:48] Speaker 3: Our relationship is so strong. I have a commitment to you.
[1:52:52] Speaker 1: If you don't have such a person in your life,
[1:52:54] Speaker 1: you are in trouble.
[1:52:56] Speaker 3: Listen is there someone in your life today you can
[1:53:00] Speaker 3: call and with one dial no matter.
[1:53:03] Speaker 1: How busy he can pick.
[1:53:06] Speaker 3: Apostle people don't like me no if the problem is
[1:53:08] Speaker 3: everybody the problem is you nobody will just invest time
[1:53:15] Speaker 3: like that relationship is an investment don't expect returns if
[1:53:20] Speaker 3: you did not invest Don't give people two minutes of
[1:53:25] Speaker 3: your time with ten years worth of trouble and expect
[1:53:29] Speaker 3: them to remain with you.
[1:53:30] Speaker 1: No, sir.
[1:53:33] Speaker 3: When people do not perceive you to be an advantage
[1:53:36] Speaker 3: to their lives and their destinies, they will love you,
[1:53:38] Speaker 3: but they will put you in a group quietly and
[1:53:41] Speaker 3: leave you there.
[1:53:46] Speaker 1: I pray for you. You pray for me. I love you.
[1:53:52] Speaker 1: I need you to survive. I won't harm you with
[1:53:58] Speaker 1: words from my mouth. I love you. I need you
[1:54:03] Speaker 1: to survive.
[1:54:05] Speaker 7: It is His will that.
[1:54:08] Speaker 3: Every need be supplied.
[1:54:12] Speaker 7: You are important to me.
[1:54:17] Speaker 8: I need you to survive.
[1:54:21] Speaker 3: Listen, don't allow circumstances to choose your relationships. Allow the
[1:54:26] Speaker 3: Holy Spirit in partnership with your mind and your wisdom
[1:54:30] Speaker 3: to choose your relationships. Many of us have not been
[1:54:35] Speaker 3: intentional about choosing relationships. Godly people, visionary people, people of excellence,
[1:54:43] Speaker 3: people who love you sincerely in life and in death.
[1:54:50] Speaker 1: I know a man, true story, his house got burnt.
[1:54:56] Speaker 3: And before he arrived there, the friend had gotten a
[1:55:00] Speaker 3: place and moved the children and a few things they.
[1:55:03] Speaker 1: Could recover there. Relationships.
[1:55:09] Speaker 3: Is there someone in your life today that you can
[1:55:11] Speaker 3: call by 2, 3 a.m.
[1:55:13] Speaker 1: And say there is an attack? No. My wife is
[1:55:15] Speaker 1: having an attack. My children are having an attack. I'm
[1:55:18] Speaker 1: not in Nigeria. And the person can say in 10
[1:55:21] Speaker 1: minutes I'm in your house. Listen.
[1:55:23] Speaker 3: I'm giving you a wisdom key.
[1:55:27] Speaker 1: If no matter how blessed you are. A day will come.
[1:55:31] Speaker 1: You will see that you cannot solve every problem by yourself.
[1:55:33] Speaker 1: And woe betides the man who is alone. In the
[1:55:36] Speaker 1: presence of challenges. Even Jesus.
[1:55:39] Speaker 3: Your Jesus. When he was on his way to Golgotha.
[1:55:43] Speaker 3: He got to a point where he was weak. He
[1:55:45] Speaker 3: had lost blood. The Bible says he fell there with
[1:55:49] Speaker 3: the cross. There needed to be a man who volunteered.
[1:55:52] Speaker 3: And said I will hold the cross for him. I've
[1:55:56] Speaker 3: taught you the ministry of destiny helpers. And I've taught
[1:55:59] Speaker 3: you these four categories of people you need in your life.
[1:56:03] Speaker 3: Let me do a one minute recap. In case you
[1:56:06] Speaker 3: were not here or you've forgotten.
[1:56:08] Speaker 1: Number one. That when it has to do with relationships.
[1:56:12] Speaker 1: Destiny help us. You need divine connectors.
[1:56:17] Speaker 3: They can help you, but they know who can help you.
[1:56:20] Speaker 3: And they can connect you to that person. Number two,
[1:56:23] Speaker 3: you need men of influence. They are willing to invest
[1:56:26] Speaker 3: their credibility.
[1:56:27] Speaker 1: And their track record to help you rise. Number three,
[1:56:30] Speaker 1: you need gifted people. The men and women who produce results.
[1:56:35] Speaker 1: Sometimes you need more than kindness.
[1:56:36] Speaker 3: You need results. And then number four, burden bearers. The
[1:56:41] Speaker 3: assignment of a burden bearer is not to move you forward.
[1:56:43] Speaker 3: They are the ones who stop you from going backward.
[1:56:47] Speaker 3: If you do not have these four categories of people
[1:56:50] Speaker 3: in your life, you are in trouble. If you have
[1:56:53] Speaker 3: to pay for everything by yourself, you are in trouble.
[1:56:55] Speaker 3: Even if you are blessed. A day will come money
[1:56:58] Speaker 3: cannot buy anything. You will need the hearts of men.
[1:57:01] Speaker 3: Somebody must believe in you enough to stake their lives.
[1:57:05] Speaker 3: You cannot be a general friend to everybody. Somebody must
[1:57:10] Speaker 3: see you and keep you in the holiest of holies
[1:57:13] Speaker 3: of their hearts. say let me not share that this
[1:57:17] Speaker 3: woman has a headache or a headache not when i'm
[1:57:20] Speaker 3: alive can anybody make that kind of statement and say
[1:57:24] Speaker 3: look no matter what it is you can count on
[1:57:27] Speaker 3: me respectfully speaking there are many ceos politicians even preachers
[1:57:34] Speaker 3: who spend their lives serving people and serving the needs
[1:57:37] Speaker 3: of people but they did not build relationships and in
[1:57:40] Speaker 3: old age you see many angry and lonely people Sometimes
[1:57:45] Speaker 3: when I see elderly people lonely, I ask questions.
[1:57:48] Speaker 1: Did they ever have children? They worked in.
[1:57:51] Speaker 3: The secular job for 30 years and 35 years.
[1:57:56] Speaker 1: We were concerned about promotion, not relationships.
[1:58:00] Speaker 3: Now you retire and every relationship goes. If people respect
[1:58:05] Speaker 3: you just because of title, you are in trouble. They
[1:58:07] Speaker 3: must love you beyond titles and be knitted like david
[1:58:11] Speaker 3: and jonathan a good place to pray before we finish
[1:58:18] Speaker 3: up can you again lay your hands on your head
[1:58:20] Speaker 3: and say father Connect me to strategic relationships, even in
[1:58:26] Speaker 3: this season. First, oh God, make me one who is
[1:58:30] Speaker 3: worth being friends with. Life will be hard. You are
[1:58:35] Speaker 3: a man of God.
[1:58:36] Speaker 1: Listen to me.
[1:58:37] Speaker 3: No matter the call of God upon your life, you
[1:58:39] Speaker 3: will depend on strategic relationships to rise.
[1:58:42] Speaker 1: Go ahead. Are you praying? Are you praying? Please pray.
[1:58:58] Speaker 1: Please pray. You came to church.
[1:59:03] Speaker 3: You need a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
[1:59:07] Speaker 3: You need men that can stand for you. And say
[1:59:10] Speaker 3: under my watch your children will never beg for bread.
[1:59:13] Speaker 3: Not when I'm alive.
[1:59:14] Speaker 13: I'll begin worshiping.
[1:59:22] Speaker 1: All of the days of my life. I'll be here. Worshiping.
[1:59:31] Speaker 1: All of the days of my life. I'll be here.
[1:59:37] Speaker 1: Helping you. All of the days of my life.
[1:59:44] Speaker 2: I'll be here.
[1:59:46] Speaker 1: Helping you. All of the days of my life. I'll
[1:59:54] Speaker 1: be here. Holding you. All of the days.
[2:00:01] Speaker 7: Of my life. I'll be holding you.
[2:00:09] Speaker 5: All of the days of my life.
[2:00:12] Speaker 1: Listen.
[2:00:14] Speaker 3: If you have friends who love your money alone. Love
[2:00:18] Speaker 3: your anointing alone. Love your ministry alone. MOG, if you
[2:00:24] Speaker 3: leave ministry today, the people who love you, will they
[2:00:27] Speaker 3: still love you? CEO, if you leave your job today,
[2:00:34] Speaker 3: have you not seen politicians who lost elections and in
[2:00:38] Speaker 3: a moment, everybody who is saying, yes, I just left them.
[2:00:41] Speaker 3: Who is the next person? Our world is full of selfishness.
[2:00:45] Speaker 3: Let me give you an advice. When you find people
[2:00:48] Speaker 3: who love you for who you are, pay the price
[2:00:51] Speaker 3: and keep them. Swallow your pride and keep them. Not
[2:00:56] Speaker 3: everybody has that time to love you for who you are.
[2:01:00] Speaker 1: This is wisdom.
[2:01:05] Speaker 3: And when God lifts you, Please obtain grace to see
[2:01:10] Speaker 3: the people who love you sincerely. The great are largely
[2:01:15] Speaker 3: surrounded by psychophants for obvious reasons.
[2:01:18] Speaker 1: You must obtain grace.
[2:01:21] Speaker 3: That house help may not have money to give you,
[2:01:23] Speaker 3: but I assure you they will stand by you forever.
[2:01:28] Speaker 3: Some of you love everybody except your children. And yet
[2:01:31] Speaker 3: when you are sick, they are the ones who stand
[2:01:33] Speaker 3: close to you. can i tell you the truth do
[2:01:36] Speaker 3: not forget that there are people who love you for
[2:01:39] Speaker 3: who you are not what you have money can be
[2:01:44] Speaker 3: deceptive anointing can be deceptive titles can be deceptive This
[2:01:50] Speaker 3: is why many people are heartbroken and shattered into pieces today.
[2:01:54] Speaker 3: Because they think they are popular. They think they have crowds. Oh,
[2:01:59] Speaker 3: I have a great, I'm a great politician. I'm a
[2:02:02] Speaker 3: great man of God. I have thousands and millions of people.
[2:02:07] Speaker 3: Can they be there standing for you? Can they cry
[2:02:10] Speaker 3: with you and say, we are here crying?
[2:02:13] Speaker 1: Can I tell you, a true friend is.
[2:02:15] Speaker 3: Not one who stands with you. A true friend is
[2:02:18] Speaker 3: one who dies with you. If you have a friend
[2:02:21] Speaker 3: you can only live for, you are wasting your time.
[2:02:26] Speaker 1: The real proof of friendship is not life, it's death.
[2:02:34] Speaker 1: I'm preaching, no? I'm only doing what God has asked
[2:02:36] Speaker 1: me to do. Two more. We have a few minutes.
[2:02:43] Speaker 1: Number one, honor. You see that favor is merited. Do
[2:02:46] Speaker 1: you agree with me now? When you learn this and
[2:02:49] Speaker 1: someone says you are just lucky, just pray the.
[2:02:51] Speaker 3: Prayer of mercy for the person. Oh, why are you
[2:02:56] Speaker 3: favored like this? Why does everybody love you? I think
[2:03:00] Speaker 3: you are just lucky.
[2:03:01] Speaker 1: Oh dear. Don't be angry. Just give them this message.
[2:03:12] Speaker 1: Number one, honor. Number two, value. Number three, relationships. Number four, the.
[2:03:20] Speaker 3: Fourth way that you activate this grace called favor is
[2:03:25] Speaker 3: through prayer.
[2:03:26] Speaker 1: You can provoke favor through prayer.
[2:03:32] Speaker 3: Favor is one of those systems of advantage that can.
[2:03:35] Speaker 1: Be activated in prayer.
[2:03:37] Speaker 3: Ask Jabez, O that thou wouldest bless me, enlarge my coast,
[2:03:43] Speaker 3: let your hand be upon me.
[2:03:49] Speaker 1: You can pray favor I prayed for favor For one
[2:03:54] Speaker 1: full month It was a February.
[2:03:58] Speaker 3: From first To the last month Favor Lord the heart
[2:04:04] Speaker 3: of man is selfish But by your grace you are
[2:04:06] Speaker 3: able to Place something upon the heart of kings and
[2:04:09] Speaker 3: nobles That can cause them to be attentive To your
[2:04:12] Speaker 3: need When God says amen to your prayer It is
[2:04:15] Speaker 3: truly amen God will raise a fish to bring out
[2:04:21] Speaker 3: coin from his mouth. Does a fish eat coin? But
[2:04:24] Speaker 3: when favor is on you, God can use Pharaoh to
[2:04:30] Speaker 3: give you gold. Everything has riches in it. It only
[2:04:38] Speaker 3: hides it. It's favor that allows them to give it.
[2:04:43] Speaker 3: The Bible says, as for the earth, out of it
[2:04:45] Speaker 3: comes bread.
[2:04:46] Speaker 1: Bread. Please listen to me.
[2:04:48] Speaker 3: There are many of you right now, the truth is
[2:04:50] Speaker 3: that with the current price of land, physically speaking, you
[2:04:54] Speaker 3: may never have the opportunity to build a house in
[2:04:56] Speaker 3: your lifetime. But favor can build one for you and
[2:04:59] Speaker 3: give you the key.
[2:04:59] Speaker 1: Just like that.
[2:05:01] Speaker 3: It's not a call to irresponsibility.
[2:05:02] Speaker 1: It's a system of advantage. Are you learning?
[2:05:10] Speaker 3: Please go back this week. I'll give us an assignment
[2:05:14] Speaker 3: by the Spirit when we're wrapping up. Use this week
[2:05:18] Speaker 3: among the many prayers you will pray. Pray favor-provoking prayer. Lord,
[2:05:25] Speaker 3: show me favor. I didn't come from a family with
[2:05:28] Speaker 3: any advantage by default. If you do not help me,
[2:05:31] Speaker 3: I don't have an uncle or an auntie somewhere.
[2:05:34] Speaker 1: But I look to Yahweh.
[2:05:37] Speaker 2: Yahweh.
[2:05:38] Speaker 1: Yahweh.
[2:05:41] Speaker 5: My hope is Yahweh, Yahweh.
[2:05:49] Speaker 1: I look to Yahweh, Yahweh.
[2:05:56] Speaker 11: Forever Yahweh, Yahweh.
[2:06:00] Speaker 1: One more time.
[2:06:01] Speaker 14: We look to Yahweh, Yahweh. Our hope is Yahweh.
[2:06:12] Speaker 2: Yahweh.
[2:06:16] Speaker 1: We look to Yahweh. Yahweh. Forever Yahweh. Yahweh. Listen.
[2:06:29] Speaker 3: Remember that men are not your source.
[2:06:32] Speaker 1: They are only channels.
[2:06:34] Speaker 3: The real source praise god from whom all blessings flow
[2:06:39] Speaker 3: the hymn writer says it comes from god it only
[2:06:44] Speaker 3: comes through men when you exalt men above god you
[2:06:47] Speaker 3: are in trouble can i tell you this truly god
[2:06:51] Speaker 3: can give favor to men God can pick you like
[2:06:54] Speaker 3: this and say, where is he?
[2:06:55] Speaker 1: I'm in Abuja here.
[2:06:57] Speaker 3: And God can pick you and give an instruction and
[2:07:01] Speaker 3: tell men to honor you.
[2:07:03] Speaker 1: And in one week, God can use.
[2:07:04] Speaker 3: Men to change your life in a way that you'll
[2:07:07] Speaker 3: be afraid of your own testimony.
[2:07:12] Speaker 1: Believe this. Oh, favor. Favor provoking prayer. There is a
[2:07:26] Speaker 1: way you can hold on to the four horns of
[2:07:28] Speaker 1: the altar. Except you are not tired of your situation.
[2:07:31] Speaker 3: If you keep giving flimsy excuses.
[2:07:35] Speaker 1: You may sit down there as a preacher, as a businessman.
[2:07:39] Speaker 3: You are not just an entrepreneur. You can go back.
[2:07:42] Speaker 3: My father and my God. I bow my knees to
[2:07:45] Speaker 3: our father.

[2:08:35] Speaker 1: There is a call. Carry your presence straight to the

[2:11:43] Speaker 3: i call it the esther anointing there is the grace
[2:11:47] Speaker 3: for favor.
[2:11:48] Speaker 1: Can be imparted oh Yahweh.
[2:12:13] Speaker 2: Yahweh.
[2:12:15] Speaker 8: Yahweh.
[2:12:18] Speaker 3: Esther chapter 2 and verse 15.
[2:12:21] Speaker 1: Something is coming on someone right now. Pay attention. Now
[2:12:31] Speaker 1: when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihel.
[2:12:35] Speaker 3: The uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter,
[2:12:39] Speaker 3: listen carefully, was come.
[2:12:41] Speaker 1: In unto the king. She required nothing but what Haggai.
[2:12:46] Speaker 3: The king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And
[2:12:51] Speaker 3: Esther obtained favor in the sight of how many? All
[2:12:56] Speaker 3: them that looked upon her. Next verse, 16. The Bible says,
[2:13:02] Speaker 3: so Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus. in his royal
[2:13:06] Speaker 3: house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth,
[2:13:09] Speaker 3: in the seventh year of his reign. And the king
[2:13:14] Speaker 3: loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace
[2:13:19] Speaker 3: and favor in his sight more than all the virgins,
[2:13:22] Speaker 3: so that he set the royal crown upon her head
[2:13:26] Speaker 3: and made her queen instead of Vashti.
[2:13:29] Speaker 1: When you read the verses before 15, the Bible says.
[2:13:33] Speaker 3: There were many women And yet, Esther went to this
[2:13:38] Speaker 3: strange man called Haggai. He had worked with the king
[2:13:42] Speaker 3: a long time. He knows what the king is looking for.
[2:13:45] Speaker 3: And she asked him, what does the king really want?
[2:13:48] Speaker 3: And Haggai said, there is an oil I will give you.
[2:13:51] Speaker 3: Just keep rubbing on your body for one year.
[2:13:53] Speaker 1: That's all. Forget all this how to work. The Holy Spirit.
[2:13:58] Speaker 3: Can search the heart of your destiny helper.
[2:14:01] Speaker 1: He knows what he wants. Hear me, my brothers and
[2:14:04] Speaker 1: my sisters.
[2:14:05] Speaker 3: Truly, there is an anointing for favor. There is a
[2:14:08] Speaker 3: grace called favor. The assignment of that grace is to
[2:14:14] Speaker 3: insist on the heart of men.
[2:14:17] Speaker 1: The proof of favor is not money. The proof of.
[2:14:20] Speaker 3: Favor is the loyalty of the hearts of men towards
[2:14:23] Speaker 3: you and.
[2:14:24] Speaker 1: Towards your assignment.
[2:14:28] Speaker 3: Access to systems and structures. This is the grace that
[2:14:40] Speaker 3: has been so difficult to come upon many believers. Because
[2:14:45] Speaker 3: of dishonor. Because of lack of value. Because of disobedience
[2:14:53] Speaker 3: to the principles of relationship. because they do not ask
[2:14:59] Speaker 3: and finally because they have not cared for such a
[2:15:02] Speaker 3: grace some have received the grace for prayer some have
[2:15:06] Speaker 3: received the grace for signs and wonders some have received
[2:15:11] Speaker 3: all kinds of graces but the grace and the impartation
[2:15:16] Speaker 3: for favor we have a few minutes we are going
