[0:00] Speaker 1: Life. The eacome watching the direction of the weak, and
[0:06] Speaker 1: then it stretches.
[0:08] Speaker 2: Wis that's what? Because sorry, it does not lie the
[0:13] Speaker 2: ego source.
[0:15] Speaker 1: There are three groups of people you will always find
[0:19] Speaker 1: around your life.
[0:20] Speaker 2: It will take a lot of wisdom and discretion to deal.
[0:24] Speaker 1: With them, otherwise you will never arrive at the place
[0:27] Speaker 1: of destiny.
[0:28] Speaker 2: Are you ready? Number one? Wicked people don't worry you,
[0:34] Speaker 2: just right trust me. Are you ready? Let's talk about
[0:41] Speaker 2: wicked people.
[0:42] Speaker 1: Unfortunately, you may not be able to drive them in
[0:45] Speaker 1: definitely from your life. You will find them in your neighborhood.
[0:48] Speaker 1: You will find them around your organization, and sometimes, as
[0:52] Speaker 1: painful as it is.
[0:53] Speaker 2: They will be too useful to be thrown away completely.
[0:56] Speaker 2: Wicked people.
[0:57] Speaker 1: I want to teach you something that you'll be grateful for. Proverbs,
[1:02] Speaker 1: chapter six and verse eighteen. There are three groups of people.
[1:07] Speaker 1: This is a lesson coming from an overcomer. A heart
[1:11] Speaker 1: that device said, wicked imaginations part of the six things
[1:16] Speaker 1: that the Lord hates, a fit that be swift in
[1:20] Speaker 1: running to mischief. Let's read Proveraps chapter four. Please, from
[1:25] Speaker 1: verse fourteen to seventeen. Wisdom is coming from someone now
[1:30] Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, it says, and turn not
[1:34] Speaker 1: into the path of the wicked, and go not in the.
[1:38] Speaker 2: Way of evil men.
[1:39] Speaker 1: Aha, avoid it, it says, pass not by it, turn.
[1:44] Speaker 2: From it, and pass away.
[1:46] Speaker 1: Sixteen The Bible says, for their sleep not except they
[1:52] Speaker 1: have done mischief, and their sleep is taken away until
[1:56] Speaker 1: they cause someone to fall Verse seventeen, for they eat
[2:01] Speaker 1: the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
[2:06] Speaker 1: There are people like that on it. Believe me, I'm
[2:09] Speaker 1: not just trying to be negative. There are people who
[2:12] Speaker 1: have chosen to partner with the devil, to be wicked
[2:16] Speaker 1: and evil heart it is called. There are wicked people
[2:25] Speaker 1: in our world. That are wicked people around your organization,
[2:30] Speaker 1: that are wicked people in church, that are wicked.
[2:33] Speaker 2: People in society.
[2:36] Speaker 1: It is not within your power to drive them away.
[2:40] Speaker 1: You have to sustain the wisdom to need them. Some
[2:43] Speaker 1: of those wicked people are your superiors.
[2:45] Speaker 2: For now you must learn to work with them.
[2:48] Speaker 1: Some of those wicked people are They come in various forms.
[2:52] Speaker 1: Believers must be educated to know how to deal with
[2:56] Speaker 1: wicked people.
[2:57] Speaker 2: Number two.
[3:00] Speaker 1: Second of the three groups of people you must be
[3:02] Speaker 1: aware of if you want to enjoy the life of
[3:06] Speaker 1: Annovercoma is selfish people. I will tell you the difference shortly,
[3:14] Speaker 1: but please write number one, wicked people, Number two selfish people.
[3:19] Speaker 1: Who are they? Who are these groups of people called selfish? Now?
[3:23] Speaker 2: Please watch this.
[3:25] Speaker 1: Selfish people are not necessarily evil people. They are just
[3:28] Speaker 1: people who are indifferent about your state, provided they get
[3:33] Speaker 1: what they are looking for. The character of selfishness is
[3:37] Speaker 1: that it does not mind who is wounded in the process.
[3:41] Speaker 1: The most important thing for a selfish person is obtaining
[3:44] Speaker 1: your desire. It does not matter who dies, It does
[3:48] Speaker 1: not matter who cries, It does not matter.
[3:50] Speaker 2: Who is in pain.
[3:52] Speaker 1: A selfish person does not see anything at their side.
[3:55] Speaker 1: All they see is what they desire. They want it
[3:59] Speaker 1: so bad it does not matter who dies. There will
[4:02] Speaker 1: betray family for it. They want it so bad they
[4:05] Speaker 1: will do anything provided it ends with them achieving it.
[4:11] Speaker 2: Are we together now?
[4:14] Speaker 1: A selfish person has no business harming you. If there
[4:17] Speaker 1: is nothing that becomes a point of conflict between both
[4:20] Speaker 1: of you. You may even look like an ally for
[4:22] Speaker 1: a while. Unfortunately, you will find these people everywhere, and
[4:28] Speaker 1: I'm hoping, I'm praying with all my heart that you
[4:30] Speaker 1: are not one of those people.
[4:34] Speaker 2: Number three.
[4:36] Speaker 1: Are you ready for the third? Ignorant slash naive people?
[4:43] Speaker 2: Write it down.
[4:44] Speaker 1: When I explain ignorant slash naive people, naive is spelled
[4:49] Speaker 1: any aivee naive people.
[4:52] Speaker 2: What does it mean to be naive?
[4:55] Speaker 1: To show lack of consciousness, to show lack of experience?
[5:00] Speaker 1: Are we together to show lack of wisdom, lack of maturity,
[5:04] Speaker 1: lack of judgment? There are people who avoid of that
[5:08] Speaker 1: level of maturity. They are called naive. A naive person
[5:12] Speaker 1: is like a note book that nothing has been written on.
[5:15] Speaker 1: That's what makes them dangerous, because they become whatever is
[5:19] Speaker 1: suddenly written there. The easiest people to deceive are not
[5:23] Speaker 1: wicked people. They are the deceivers themselves. They are not
[5:27] Speaker 1: selfish people, but naive people. Now, let me tell you this.
[5:31] Speaker 1: When satan ones would destroy you, the greatest tool he
[5:36] Speaker 1: needs is a wicked person. If he cannot find a
[5:39] Speaker 1: wicked person, he will make do with a selfish person.
[5:43] Speaker 1: If you cannot find a selfish person, he will make
[5:46] Speaker 1: do with a naive person. All three can cause the
[5:50] Speaker 1: same harm to your life. The difference is that a
[5:55] Speaker 1: wicked person does his wickedness from a premeditated standpoint, So
[6:00] Speaker 1: before and after your pain, they are happy it was
[6:03] Speaker 1: the plan.
[6:04] Speaker 2: A selfish person.
[6:06] Speaker 1: Like Judas is focused on making money out of Jesus,
[6:09] Speaker 1: not with the intention.
[6:11] Speaker 2: For Jesus to die.
[6:12] Speaker 1: Usually, when the harm is done and what they're looking
[6:16] Speaker 1: for they now have, then they have the conscience to
[6:18] Speaker 1: regret and they say, but I didn't want it to
[6:21] Speaker 1: go this far. Have you heard of people who beat
[6:23] Speaker 1: someone till the person died? And when you're in police
[6:26] Speaker 1: coust or did, they will tell you the plan was
[6:28] Speaker 1: not to kill the person. I arranged the kidnap of
[6:33] Speaker 1: the person so that I will get ten million. I
[6:36] Speaker 1: didn't plan that the person will die. Wicked people, selfish people,
[6:47] Speaker 1: ignorant or naive people can be tools that can become
[6:52] Speaker 1: a disaster to your life. Accept and unless you sustain
[6:56] Speaker 1: the wisdom to live with them.
[7:00] Speaker 2: Unfortunately, for the rest of your life, you will be
[7:03] Speaker 2: immersed in.
[7:04] Speaker 1: The midst of these kinds of people every day, including tomorrow,
[7:09] Speaker 1: including forever. You would think that because Jesus was the
[7:15] Speaker 1: son of the living God, he would not have these
[7:17] Speaker 1: kinds of people around him. They were among his disciples. Unfortunately,
[7:22] Speaker 1: they were among the scribes and the Pharisees. They were
[7:25] Speaker 1: among the members of his congregation. They were among the onlookers.
[7:30] Speaker 1: And for the rest of his life on earth, Jesus,
[7:34] Speaker 1: you're Jesus, my Jesus, as the.
[7:36] Speaker 2: Word of God, the word God incanate. He lived in
[7:41] Speaker 2: the midst of these people.
[7:43] Speaker 1: Do you know all these three people that don't have
[7:45] Speaker 1: the time to show you. I would have shown you
[7:47] Speaker 1: that all these three people played the role together and
[7:51] Speaker 1: made the death of Jesus possible, even though we know
[7:54] Speaker 1: now that it was the hidden wisdom of God.
[7:56] Speaker 2: But these three groups of people.
[7:59] Speaker 1: Nai people who said crucify him, let his blood be
[8:03] Speaker 1: upon our heads.
[8:05] Speaker 2: The scrimes and the Pharisees.
[8:06] Speaker 1: Who plotted it intentionally, and Judas who wanted to make
[8:12] Speaker 1: money out of Jesus, not to destroy him.
[8:17] Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, please hear me.
[8:20] Speaker 1: If you do not sustain the wisdom.
[8:23] Speaker 2: To work with these people, you will get into trouble.
[8:28] Speaker 1: Allelujah, especially naive people. I hope you know that the
[8:32] Speaker 1: first fall was because of this. The woman you call
[8:36] Speaker 1: eve If did not fall because she was a wicked woman.
[8:40] Speaker 2: No, she was biguiled.
[8:43] Speaker 1: I think his second Corinthians eleven and us three. Did
[8:46] Speaker 1: I get that right?
[8:47] Speaker 2: Please give it to us. But I fear that's right
[8:50] Speaker 2: less by any means.
[8:52] Speaker 1: As the serpent be God Eve through sertility. You see
[8:57] Speaker 1: that now, So your mind should be called opted by
[9:01] Speaker 1: the simplicity that is in Christ.
[9:03] Speaker 2: Satan comes to.
[9:04] Speaker 1: A naive woman and begins to sell a narrative and
[9:08] Speaker 1: sell an idea.
[9:09] Speaker 2: How many good people have been turned.
[9:11] Speaker 1: Into wicked people because they were so naive. It is
[9:17] Speaker 1: the reason why believers must be trained and be mentored.
[9:20] Speaker 1: There are people today who have been made to steal.
[9:23] Speaker 1: They are not thieves, they were just naive. There are
[9:25] Speaker 1: many young boys today that have been made to join
[9:28] Speaker 1: terrorist groups. By the time they catch this boy, some
[9:31] Speaker 1: of them are barely teenagers in.
[9:34] Speaker 2: Their early adulthood, and you would.
[9:36] Speaker 1: Find out they were just indoctrinated with extreme misviews. They
[9:40] Speaker 1: were not wicked people by default. They were not selfish
[9:43] Speaker 1: people by default. They were just naive, un educated, in
[9:47] Speaker 1: exposed people who became victims of the desire and the
[9:51] Speaker 1: plan of others. I'm praying for you whatever will make
[9:54] Speaker 1: you a pray in the hand of Satan and in
[9:57] Speaker 1: the hand of wicked men, and pray in the name
[10:00] Speaker 1: of Jesus. May God not allow that thing come around
[10:03] Speaker 1: your life. Tonight's message may not apply to everybody.
[10:11] Speaker 2: There are people who are too innocent to benefit from
[10:14] Speaker 2: this message.
[10:15] Speaker 1: They have not grown enough to see the value of
[10:17] Speaker 1: this message.
[10:18] Speaker 2: There are teachings that you need to archive.
[10:21] Speaker 1: You may not understand the implication until you rise beyond
[10:24] Speaker 1: certain levels. Then you will rush and look at that message.
[10:28] Speaker 1: There are those.
[10:28] Speaker 2: Who this is a description.
[10:30] Speaker 1: Of the season that they found themselves in Allelujah. Three
[10:39] Speaker 1: groups of people, this one. It was a direct teaching
[10:44] Speaker 1: that the Holy Spirit taught me. I did not read
[10:46] Speaker 1: it in any book, these three groups of people. As
[10:52] Speaker 1: much as possible, you keep praying and sanitizing your environment,
[10:56] Speaker 1: but you have to get used to it. The cosmos
[10:58] Speaker 1: is filled with a mixed more altitude believers are just
[11:02] Speaker 1: a portion of those on earth.
[11:04] Speaker 2: The Bible not tell you not all men have faith.
[11:07] Speaker 1: That means don't expect everybody to say God bless you.
[11:10] Speaker 1: You find God bless you in church, but you will
[11:12] Speaker 1: not find God bless you everywhere.
[11:14] Speaker 2: There are people who all know you and say, apostle,
[11:17] Speaker 2: God bless you.
[11:18] Speaker 1: But there are other people are who are vicious and wicked.
[11:23] Speaker 2: There are others who are selfish.
[11:25] Speaker 1: Unfortunately, this selfishness has spilled even to spouses, spilled into leaders.
[11:32] Speaker 1: There are people who will not mind their entire families
[11:35] Speaker 1: go down with all due respect, provided they go forward.
[11:40] Speaker 2: There are parents who will not mind.
[11:41] Speaker 1: Their children becoming prostitutes, provided they return with money.
[11:45] Speaker 2: For them to eat. The Lord who show us message Jesus.
[11:52] Speaker 1: Name, I will not forget lo Lord, your banner feats.
[12:05] Speaker 1: I will not forget, Lord, your banner feats. I will
[12:13] Speaker 1: never forget Lord your canots
