[0:05] Speaker 1: Joe eight seven chapratuciata job Chapter eight and verse seven.
[0:11] Speaker 2: Do your beginning be small?
[0:14] Speaker 1: Yet, though your beginning be small, do your job be small?
[0:22] Speaker 2: Door your salary be small, it says.
[0:25] Speaker 1: Yet your later end would increase abundantly.
[0:30] Speaker 2: Who is ready to receive?
[0:31] Speaker 1: I declare the name of Jesus that to your beginning
[0:35] Speaker 1: be small chapratina kapata. Under this function, under this grace,
[0:41] Speaker 1: I place something upon your head that causes what you
[0:45] Speaker 1: have to multiply. I place grace upon your destiny that
[0:49] Speaker 1: causes what you have to multiply.
[0:52] Speaker 2: Let your business multiply.
[0:54] Speaker 1: Let your business increase, Let your job increase, Let your
[0:58] Speaker 1: influence increase. Is let your voice be amplified in the
[1:03] Speaker 1: name of Jesus, least be seated. God is a god
[1:10] Speaker 1: of increase. First Corinthians three and verse six. God is
[1:16] Speaker 1: a god of increase. I planted and apollos water, But
[1:25] Speaker 1: God gave the increase. Who gives increase? So God is
[1:31] Speaker 1: a god of increase. I want you to settle it
[1:34] Speaker 1: for a fact that every where you see increase in righteousness,
[1:38] Speaker 1: God is behind it. Increasing influence, increasing power, it says,
[1:43] Speaker 1: to them.
[1:43] Speaker 2: Who have no might, he increases strength. God is a
[1:50] Speaker 2: god of increase.
[1:53] Speaker 1: Number two increases part of our divine mandate. Increase is
[2:00] Speaker 1: part when God was spelling out our divine mandate according
[2:04] Speaker 1: to Genesis one twenty six to twenty eight, particularly verse
[2:08] Speaker 1: twenty eight, the mandate to be fruitful, the mandate to multiply,
[2:13] Speaker 1: the mandate to replenish, to subdue, to have dominion. Within
[2:17] Speaker 1: that mandate is increase. It's impossible to experience fruitfulness and
[2:23] Speaker 1: multiplication without increase. It's someone learning. Please take note of
[2:28] Speaker 1: the points that number one, God is a god of increase.
[2:32] Speaker 1: Paul can plant, Apollo can water, John can do the business.
[2:40] Speaker 1: Are we together? This one can do whatever it is.
[2:42] Speaker 1: But God is the one who gives increase. And then
[2:46] Speaker 1: that it is part of our divine mandate to experience increase.
[2:52] Speaker 1: Number three, The Bible is full of promises of increase.
[2:57] Speaker 1: The Bible is not silent as to the idea of
[3:00] Speaker 1: increase one verse fourteen. The Bible contains promises about increase.
[3:09] Speaker 1: It says, may the Lord give you increase more and
[3:11] Speaker 1: more you and your children, Let's do KJV media, except otherwise,
[3:20] Speaker 1: let's go back to KJV. He said the Lord increase you,
[3:23] Speaker 1: KJB says, the Lord shall increase you more and more.
[3:27] Speaker 2: Say amen, you and your children.
[3:30] Speaker 1: I said again, the Lord shall increase you more and more,
[3:34] Speaker 1: you and your children.
[3:39] Speaker 2: The Bible is full of promises of increase.
[3:41] Speaker 1: We read too already that the Lord will increase your
[3:43] Speaker 1: greatness and comfort you on all sides, and.
[3:47] Speaker 2: That though your beginning be small, your lantern end should increase.
[3:52] Speaker 1: Do you believe that number four Jesus himself increased. Look
[3:57] Speaker 1: chapter two and verse fifty two the Bible, and Jesus increased.
[4:02] Speaker 1: He increased in wisdom, he increased in stature, he increased
[4:07] Speaker 1: in favor with God and with men.
[4:10] Speaker 2: Say increase.
[4:12] Speaker 1: Read the second and the third world you can see
[4:15] Speaker 1: written in that verse. Look carefully, just the second and
[4:19] Speaker 1: the third world, please shouted as loud as you can.
[4:21] Speaker 2: Want to go again again one more time. Jesus himself,
[4:34] Speaker 2: when he walked in the flesh.
[4:35] Speaker 1: He increased in wisdom, in stratio, in favor with God
[4:42] Speaker 1: and with men. Furthermore, whilst Jesus walked upon the head,
[4:47] Speaker 1: he demonstrated increase. He demonstrated increase in his earthwork mark
[4:52] Speaker 1: chapter eight.
[4:53] Speaker 2: Please give us nineteen and twenty.
[4:55] Speaker 1: He demonstrated increase when he used five loave and two
[4:59] Speaker 1: fish and fed five thousand, when he used seven load
[5:03] Speaker 1: a loaf and a few fish.
[5:05] Speaker 2: Remember, I hope you know that those were.
[5:07] Speaker 1: Two separate miracles. The Bible tells us. Yeah, that's why
[5:11] Speaker 1: I'm using that scripture for sake of time. He says,
[5:13] Speaker 1: when I break five loaf among five thousand, how many
[5:18] Speaker 1: baskets full of fragment did you take up?
[5:21] Speaker 2: And they said twelve?
[5:22] Speaker 1: Verse twenty, he says, And when I had seven among
[5:28] Speaker 1: four thousand, So there were two separate incidences, seven among
[5:36] Speaker 1: the four thousand, how many baskets were left? And they
[5:39] Speaker 1: said seven. He demonstrated increase. In fact, because of lack
[5:46] Speaker 1: of increase and fruitfulness, Jesus cost a fictory. The Bible
[5:50] Speaker 1: says he came and sold the frectrey taken from the earth,
[5:54] Speaker 1: and even do it was not the time of fix,
[5:56] Speaker 1: but because it was still connected to the earth, allelujah,
[6:01] Speaker 1: he const it and it withered by the morrow. Jesus
[6:05] Speaker 1: demonstrated increase. Jesus taught on increase. He did not just
[6:12] Speaker 1: demonstrate it. He did not just increase himself, but he
[6:16] Speaker 1: taught on increase in mad Due Chapter twenty five. When
[6:20] Speaker 1: you read from verse fourteen to thirtyese long read, so
[6:23] Speaker 1: would not read it this right there is the parable
[6:27] Speaker 1: of the talent.
[6:28] Speaker 2: It was a teaching on increase that he.
[6:30] Speaker 1: Gave on to one. Five talent. He gave on to
[6:33] Speaker 1: one two talents. He gave on to the other one talent.
[6:37] Speaker 1: And the Bible says he went about his journey, and
[6:39] Speaker 1: he expected increase. The one with five talents went and
[6:43] Speaker 1: traded it, had five more.
[6:45] Speaker 2: The one with two talents went and traded it and
[6:48] Speaker 2: had two more.
[6:49] Speaker 1: But the one who refused to make increase out of
[6:52] Speaker 1: what he had, that one was called a wicked and
[6:56] Speaker 1: unprofitable servant, not a lazy servant.
[7:00] Speaker 2: Get and unprofitable.
[7:03] Speaker 1: Matthew twenty five from verse fourteen to thirty is the
[7:07] Speaker 1: full text for reference.
[7:11] Speaker 2: So God is a god of increase. Number one.
[7:14] Speaker 1: Number two increases part of our divine mandate.
[7:18] Speaker 2: Number three.
[7:19] Speaker 1: Jesus himself increased number four. He demonstrated increase in his earthwork.
[7:25] Speaker 2: Number five. He taught on increase.
[7:29] Speaker 1: Number six. The apostles experience increase Acts Chapter two and
[7:34] Speaker 1: verse forty one. The apostles themselves experience increase. The Bible says,
[7:40] Speaker 1: and then they that gladly received his world where baptized,
[7:44] Speaker 1: and the same day they were add dead onto them.
[7:48] Speaker 1: About three thousand souls say increase. Shout like you're understanding me,
[7:54] Speaker 1: say increase, same adds Chapter two and verse forty seven.
[7:59] Speaker 1: The apostles experience increase, the Bible says, praising God.
[8:04] Speaker 2: And having faivor with all the people.
[8:08] Speaker 1: And the Lord add dead to the church daily, like
[8:13] Speaker 1: you will be adding to your life daily, like you'll
[8:16] Speaker 1: be adding to your finances daily.
[8:20] Speaker 2: This is a prophetic church. So when you hear a
[8:22] Speaker 2: word that resonates with your spirit, you receive it.
[8:26] Speaker 1: I say it again, like God would be adding to
[8:28] Speaker 1: you daily, like God would be surprising your enemies daily,
[8:34] Speaker 1: like God would be silencing your mockers daily. In the
[8:39] Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ, and the Lord added to the
[8:43] Speaker 1: church daily, I should be saved.
[8:47] Speaker 2: The apostles experience increase.
[8:50] Speaker 1: I said earlier on that fruitfulness is a product of
[8:54] Speaker 1: growth and increase.
[8:57] Speaker 2: How many of you are following so far now?
[9:01] Speaker 1: Increase is multi dimensional. Increase is multi dimensional, meaning you
[9:09] Speaker 1: can experience increase across the various facets of your life.
[9:14] Speaker 1: There is no aspect of your life that cannot experience increase.
[9:19] Speaker 1: Your spiritual life can experience increase. Your finances can experience increase.
[9:25] Speaker 1: And we're learning now your joy.
[9:28] Speaker 2: Can experience increase.
[9:30] Speaker 1: There is what the Bible caused, the fullness of joy.
[9:33] Speaker 1: You can have joy, but not have the fullness of joy.
[9:37] Speaker 1: It says hitherto you have asked for nothing, It says us,
[9:40] Speaker 1: can you shall receive that your joy may be full.
[9:47] Speaker 1: Your finances can experience increase. So increase is multi dimensional.
[9:53] Speaker 1: Faith can increase Luk seventeen five. They pray the prayer,
[9:57] Speaker 1: and they said, increase our faith.
[9:59] Speaker 2: Faith can increase.
[10:02] Speaker 1: To someone learning, greatness can increase Psalm seventy one. Doubts
[10:08] Speaker 1: shall increase my greatness and comfort me on every side.
[10:14] Speaker 1: Wealth can increase my goodness. Genesis twenty six and use thirteen.
[10:19] Speaker 1: Wealth can increase a man's wealth, and finances can increase.
[10:24] Speaker 1: Let's read together Genesis to twenty six and use thirty.
[10:27] Speaker 1: He says, and the man works great and went forward.
[10:32] Speaker 1: There's one of the renditions. I don't know if he's amplified.
[10:35] Speaker 1: He says, he began to increase.
[10:38] Speaker 2: He began.
[10:40] Speaker 1: The man began there was a day he did not
[10:43] Speaker 1: have increase in his life.
[10:45] Speaker 2: But he says, the man works great and went forward
[10:49] Speaker 2: and cree you until he became very great.
[10:54] Speaker 1: Wealth can increase, influence can increase, Knowledge can increase.
[11:02] Speaker 2: Colloss Chapter one, nine and ten.
[11:05] Speaker 1: I'm showing you that increase is multi dimensional, so that
[11:10] Speaker 1: in releasing your faithful increase.
[11:12] Speaker 2: You don't just select one area of your life.
[11:15] Speaker 1: It says, you will increase my greatness and comfort me
[11:18] Speaker 1: on every side. For this cause we also since the
[11:22] Speaker 1: day we heard of it, it says, do not cease
[11:24] Speaker 1: to pray for you and desire that he might be
[11:27] Speaker 1: filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom
[11:30] Speaker 1: and spiritual understanding.
[11:32] Speaker 2: Verse ten, it says that ye might.
[11:34] Speaker 1: Walk worthy of the Lord onto all pleasing, being fruitful
[11:39] Speaker 1: in every good work.
[11:41] Speaker 2: Ahah.
[11:41] Speaker 1: Here it is and increasing in the knowledge of God.
[11:47] Speaker 1: You can increase in the knowledge of God. And how
[11:49] Speaker 1: many of you know that grace and peace is a
[11:52] Speaker 1: function of increase.
[11:53] Speaker 2: In the knowledge of God.
[11:55] Speaker 1: So the greater your knowledge of God, the greater the
[11:57] Speaker 1: grace the investment of His fear away together that is
[12:02] Speaker 1: manifested through your life. So increase is multi dimensional. Now
[12:09] Speaker 1: what is increased? Let me define for you what increase is.
[12:13] Speaker 1: I made a comment during the pastors session in the
[12:16] Speaker 1: money or was it afternoon, that one of the ways
[12:20] Speaker 1: to help people understand is to unify that there are definitions.
[12:26] Speaker 1: Terminologies are very important. Sometimes, because we largely communicate through English,
[12:34] Speaker 1: we can take for granted that because a word is
[12:38] Speaker 1: pronounced or a word is being discossed, that everybody has
[12:42] Speaker 1: a unified understanding of that world. Sometimes it may not
[12:45] Speaker 1: be so. When you say God, it means many things
[12:48] Speaker 1: to many people, and it's always important that in teaching
[12:51] Speaker 1: you unify people's understanding so that we're not careless as
[12:56] Speaker 1: to the definition of increase. Let me give you a
[12:58] Speaker 1: definition of increase that it will guide our faith. Because
[13:02] Speaker 1: faith is vision dependent, your faith must latch onto something
[13:06] Speaker 1: that has a definition.
[13:07] Speaker 2: Are we together? What is increased?
[13:13] Speaker 1: Increase means to become progressively greater, to become progressively greater
[13:20] Speaker 1: in size, in number, in volume, and in intensity. For things,
[13:27] Speaker 1: increase means to progressively become greater in size, to become
[13:33] Speaker 1: progressively greater in volume, to become progressively greater in number,
[13:41] Speaker 1: and to become progressively greater in intensity. Size, volume, number,
[13:48] Speaker 1: intensity Increase If you're understanding, Say amen, what does it
[13:54] Speaker 1: mean to increase that you become progressively greater. That means
[14:00] Speaker 1: you are not experiencing increase. If yesterday's greater than today,
[14:05] Speaker 1: are we together? The nature of increased demands that your
[14:09] Speaker 1: current state is always greater than your former state, and
[14:13] Speaker 1: that your future state will always be greater than your
[14:16] Speaker 1: current state, consistent with what the Bible says that the
[14:20] Speaker 1: path of the just is as a shining light, and
[14:23] Speaker 1: we see Bible students, and that it shines more and more,
[14:27] Speaker 1: more and more, more and more. Everything that wants you
[14:31] Speaker 1: to have a worse tomorrow. We cost it in this
[14:34] Speaker 1: place tonight, in the name of Jesus. No matter how
[14:38] Speaker 1: glorious twenty twenty five was, I'm telling you twenty twenty six,
[14:42] Speaker 1: who surpass it by far. No matter how great January
[14:46] Speaker 1: and February was, I'm saying it to you, and I'm
[14:50] Speaker 1: saying it to this great.
[14:51] Speaker 2: Ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.
[14:53] Speaker 1: By the grace for increase that is resting on this assembly,
[14:57] Speaker 1: that is resting on your life.
[14:59] Speaker 2: You will go. You will go forward in the name
[15:02] Speaker 2: of Jesus.
[15:09] Speaker 1: Progressively becoming greater. The next question we have to answer
[15:16] Speaker 1: is why increase? Why would God place this burden upon
[15:20] Speaker 1: the heart of his servants to teach his people and
[15:24] Speaker 1: to guide the entire Holy Goes Christian family and the
[15:27] Speaker 1: body of Christ along the subject of increase?
[15:30] Speaker 2: What is so special about increase?
[15:32] Speaker 1: In as much as I've shown you increase in the
[15:34] Speaker 1: Bible as a mandate and in Jesus's life, But why
[15:39] Speaker 1: does God want the believer to increase? The answer is
[15:42] Speaker 1: found in John chapter fifteen and verse eight, and I
[15:46] Speaker 1: like us to read it as loud as we can
[15:48] Speaker 1: if media is able to give it to us.
[15:50] Speaker 2: Ready, everybody, let's go, want to go? What hearing means?
[16:01] Speaker 1: This is how my Father is glorified when you bear
[16:05] Speaker 1: much foot, So shall you be my disciples. How many
[16:10] Speaker 1: of you have seen a coach trained twenty two players
[16:13] Speaker 1: or eleven players, and he sits by the side and
[16:17] Speaker 1: watches the players. How many of you see the joy
[16:19] Speaker 1: as they begin to score goals, especially when they beat
[16:23] Speaker 1: the other team flawlessly in ten minutes they've given them
[16:27] Speaker 1: to zero. You see those kind of things, Your destiny
[16:30] Speaker 1: will soon look like that. In the name of Jesus Christ.
[16:34] Speaker 1: That you don't have time to waste by match. You've
[16:36] Speaker 1: already concarts some things, not by December.
[16:42] Speaker 2: Listen, there's a kind.
[16:44] Speaker 1: Of victory where it's like you are dragging at the
[16:47] Speaker 1: end of it. You see that in boxing. They have
[16:50] Speaker 1: to stop them, then they start again, then they stop them.
[16:53] Speaker 1: But there are certain people there's no argument from starts.
[16:57] Speaker 1: They will be the enemy with no chance for him
[17:00] Speaker 1: to even revenge. Honestly, this year, that's how your destiny
[17:03] Speaker 1: will be. It will be victory upon victory, no space
[17:06] Speaker 1: for defeat, no.
[17:08] Speaker 2: Space for negotiation, and place.
[17:10] Speaker 1: In grace upon you, fixtory upon victory, Increase upon increase,
[17:16] Speaker 1: like the layers of an onion. Just when they think
[17:18] Speaker 1: they're exhausteding, you come out with another dimension again. In
[17:22] Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, someone shout, increase. You are professsigned
[17:27] Speaker 1: to yourself saying increase. Sad myself in the name of Jesus.
[17:32] Speaker 1: Experience increase. Say it again, my destiny, in the name
[17:36] Speaker 1: of Jesus, experience, increase. Open your mountain one minute and
[17:40] Speaker 1: pray before you see my destiny. Here the word of
[17:44] Speaker 1: the Lord. Here, the word of the Lord. It's your
[17:48] Speaker 1: season of increase. Chapra car Tobacca tolls. Come out. Speak
[17:53] Speaker 1: to your music, ministry, Speak to ministry, speak to your work.
[18:00] Speaker 2: It's my season of increase.
[18:07] Speaker 1: In Jesus name, we pray please, we say that, listen
[18:11] Speaker 1: to me. One of the major ways God is glorified
[18:16] Speaker 1: likened to how a coach receives honor when he watches
[18:20] Speaker 1: the players do well. When you watch the coach back
[18:24] Speaker 1: to my example, so they begin to score one zero,
[18:28] Speaker 1: two zero, three zero four zero, that kind of flawless victory.
[18:32] Speaker 1: You find the players running back to the coach to
[18:34] Speaker 1: say thank you. Then they go back and score again.
[18:37] Speaker 1: Then they return back and say thank you. Then they
[18:39] Speaker 1: go back and score again. You see that now that
[18:42] Speaker 1: man is glorified by their excelling. Their validates that he
[18:48] Speaker 1: is an exceptional coach. His work continues to increase as
[18:52] Speaker 1: they see the products of his wisdom.
[18:54] Speaker 2: Now, in this case, God does not increase.
[18:57] Speaker 1: He feels all and in all, but the knowledge of
[19:01] Speaker 1: His glory increases.
[19:02] Speaker 2: On earth.
[19:03] Speaker 1: The more we walk in victory, the more we experience results.
[19:07] Speaker 2: Is found in Galicians one twenty four.
[19:09] Speaker 1: It says, and they glorified God in me Gallatians one
[19:15] Speaker 1: twenty four, and they glorified God in me, God can
[19:20] Speaker 1: be glorified in and through a man, and they glorify
[19:25] Speaker 1: God in me. The level and the extent of your
[19:29] Speaker 1: results and the consistency of your results, The Bible says,
[19:33] Speaker 1: let your life so shine before men Matthew five point sixteen,
[19:37] Speaker 1: that they may see your good works or good deeds
[19:40] Speaker 1: and glorify your Father.
[19:43] Speaker 2: Are we together efficients two ten?
[19:46] Speaker 1: We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus onto good
[19:51] Speaker 1: works which God had pre ordained or before ordained, that
[19:56] Speaker 1: we should work in them.
[19:58] Speaker 2: So when the saints excel, God is glorified.
[20:04] Speaker 1: When there's increase on every side, God is glorified. In theology,
[20:10] Speaker 1: we call it the reflection principle. John seventeen and verse one.
[20:15] Speaker 1: Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and he said, Father,
[20:18] Speaker 1: the hour has come. He said, glorify your son, that
[20:22] Speaker 1: your son may bring glory to you. So the way
[20:25] Speaker 1: God is glorified on earth is that he invests his
[20:29] Speaker 1: glory on the son away together, and then as the
[20:32] Speaker 1: son excels, it brings glory. How many of you parents
[20:36] Speaker 1: have seen your child return with an award. He took
[20:39] Speaker 1: first position. He was the most disciplined student. He was
[20:42] Speaker 1: one who did not make noise in the class, and
[20:44] Speaker 1: so on and so forth, and as he carries the
[20:46] Speaker 1: award as they called it. You know, the friends taped
[20:49] Speaker 1: the mother and she's trying to act and contain herself.
[20:52] Speaker 1: That's the kind of joy that is in the heart
[20:54] Speaker 1: of God. The more we excel, the more we rise,
[20:57] Speaker 1: the more dominion is established in our life, is someone learning.
[21:05] Speaker 1: So when we talk about contending for increase, it's not
[21:08] Speaker 1: from a canal standpoint. Number one, we are fulfilling that
[21:12] Speaker 1: divine mandate because he said be fruitful. The dominion mandate
[21:17] Speaker 1: is not a suggestion, is a command. God bless them
[21:20] Speaker 1: and said be fruitful, multiply, subdual, have dominion. The heaven
[21:29] Speaker 1: of heavens belong to the Lord, but the hearth and
[21:31] Speaker 1: he given to the sons of men.
[21:33] Speaker 2: So we increase and we bring glory to God. Number Two.
[21:37] Speaker 1: When we increase, it is a consolation to our loving Jesus.
[21:43] Speaker 1: It is a consolation to our serving Jesus. It is
[21:46] Speaker 1: a consolation to our believing in Jesus.
[21:49] Speaker 2: I want need to write that down.
[21:51] Speaker 1: Your increase is a consolation to your Christian experience.
[21:56] Speaker 2: Now you can love the Lord, whether things happen well
[21:58] Speaker 2: or not.
[21:59] Speaker 1: But I can tell you this, there is a consolation
[22:02] Speaker 1: to your Christian experience when the world of God walks
[22:06] Speaker 1: in your life, When the promises of God find the
[22:09] Speaker 1: expression in your life. You can serve God when now
[22:16] Speaker 1: you are staying in a one room apartment, or you
[22:18] Speaker 1: are even sleeping by the breach. What I can tell
[22:21] Speaker 1: you will save God with joy and gladness of heart.
[22:24] Speaker 1: When you are you have the opportunity to serve Him
[22:28] Speaker 1: in a place that is comfortable for you and your children.
[22:30] Speaker 1: Am I right on that? Heither told you have asked
[22:36] Speaker 1: for nothing? It says, ask and you shall receive, that
[22:41] Speaker 1: your joy may be full. He said, if you've been evil,
[22:45] Speaker 1: know how to give good gifts to your children? How
[22:48] Speaker 1: much more will your heavenly father give good gifts? But
[22:52] Speaker 1: the key is to realize it is his good pleasure
[22:55] Speaker 1: to give you the kingdom.
[22:56] Speaker 2: Who is learning?
[22:57] Speaker 1: Say I receive increase, Because if you don't know the
[23:02] Speaker 1: purpose of increase, your faith will not open to receive it.
[23:06] Speaker 1: You will feel you are working against the will of God.
[23:08] Speaker 1: That's why I took the time to run you through scripture,
[23:11] Speaker 1: so that we knock of every unbelief.
[23:14] Speaker 2: It is God's will for you to work in increase.
[23:18] Speaker 1: Allelujah increases multi dimensional, and God desires that we increase
[23:25] Speaker 1: so that number one He is glorified number two so
[23:31] Speaker 1: that you find consolation to your Christian experience.
[23:35] Speaker 2: Let me give you one more reason why you should increase.
[23:37] Speaker 1: That is the only way to truly fulfill Genesis twelfth
[23:41] Speaker 1: and verse three that in the shall all the families
[23:45] Speaker 1: of the earth be blessed. It's impossible to truly be
[23:49] Speaker 1: a blessing without increase. And when I talk of increase,
[23:53] Speaker 1: I hope you are not limiting it to money. Increasing
[23:56] Speaker 1: knowledge makes you a greater blessing. Increasing the anointing makes
[24:00] Speaker 1: you a better blessing. Increase in faith makes you a
[24:03] Speaker 1: better blessing. Increase in influence makes you a better blessing.
[24:07] Speaker 1: Increase in finances makes you a better blessing. Regardless what
[24:13] Speaker 1: area you look at it, increase always translates to you.
[24:17] Speaker 2: Being a blessing. Sir, I receive increase. Don't mind the
[24:21] Speaker 2: devil shouting, Sir receiving increase.
[24:28] Speaker 1: Samlanto's theater. We receive increase. We receiving increase so that
[24:36] Speaker 1: God will be glorified through my life. I receive increase
[24:40] Speaker 1: so that my Christian experience I will have a consolation
[24:43] Speaker 1: that it pays to love Jesus, that it pays to
[24:47] Speaker 1: save Jesus, that it pays to live for Jesus, that
[24:51] Speaker 1: there is profit in living for Jesus.
[24:55] Speaker 2: Allelujah. Increase is truly a consolation to the belief.
[25:00] Speaker 1: It is not the reason we love Jesus, it is
[25:03] Speaker 1: not the reason we save him.
[25:05] Speaker 2: But setting it for a fact, it's a real consolation.
[25:08] Speaker 1: And if you do not believe increase is a real consolation,
[25:11] Speaker 1: then you have never.
[25:11] Speaker 2: Really received increase.
[25:14] Speaker 1: Are we together? Jesus increased in wisdom, he increased in stature,
[25:23] Speaker 1: he increased in favor with God and with men. Then
[25:27] Speaker 1: he later increased in the annointing. This were the things
[25:31] Speaker 1: that made him to do ministry well.
[25:34] Speaker 2: Increase Allelujah.
[25:41] Speaker 1: Now I want to share with you the principles of increase,
[25:46] Speaker 1: as it is with every dimension of possibility in the kingdom.
[25:53] Speaker 1: It is a product of engaging specific kingdom laws. Write
[25:58] Speaker 1: that down, increase is the resultant effect of engaging specific
[26:05] Speaker 1: kingdom laws. Please, you may want to write that increase
[26:10] Speaker 1: is the resultant effect of engaging specific kingdom laws. It
[26:16] Speaker 1: does not just happen because you wish it to be.
[26:20] Speaker 1: It does not just happen because you desire to be.
[26:24] Speaker 1: You've confessed increase, you shouted amen. Now let me request
[26:29] Speaker 1: that you please pay attention for the next few minutes
[26:31] Speaker 1: as I run.
[26:32] Speaker 2: Through a list. These are irres few table principles.
[26:37] Speaker 1: If you live by them and engage them by faith,
[26:41] Speaker 1: I give you a guarantee your life will be nothing
[26:44] Speaker 1: short of a life of increase in ever increasing proportions.
[26:49] Speaker 1: You believe that, say, amen, increase is not a wish,
[26:54] Speaker 1: increases beyond a desire.
[26:56] Speaker 2: It is the resultant effect.
[26:58] Speaker 1: Of engaging space Pacific Kingdom keys. They are called the
[27:03] Speaker 1: mysteries of the Kingdom Matthew thirteen and verse eleven.
[27:07] Speaker 2: It has been given onto you to know the mysteries.
[27:12] Speaker 1: Of the Kingdom of Heaven. These are the mysteries of dominion.
[27:18] Speaker 1: Job Chapter thirty eight and verse thirty three knows doubt
[27:23] Speaker 1: the ordinances of Heaven? And can thou set up God's
[27:27] Speaker 1: dominion with those laws?
[27:29] Speaker 2: Give us NLT and then we go to NIV media.
[27:33] Speaker 2: If you can find us.
[27:34] Speaker 1: NLT, I want everybody to read NLT and I want
[27:37] Speaker 1: us to read NIV, whichever you can find.
[27:40] Speaker 2: All right, this is NLT.
[27:41] Speaker 1: Will read NLT. Then please let's go to NIV. Everyone
[27:45] Speaker 1: who can see it. If you love Jesus, shout that
[27:47] Speaker 1: scripture with all your heart.
[27:49] Speaker 2: Ready, want to go?
[27:50] Speaker 1: Do you know the laws of the universe and can
[27:54] Speaker 1: you use them to regulate the earth?
[27:57] Speaker 2: The mysteries of the kingdom? Now let's see what he says.
[28:00] Speaker 2: Are you ready?
[28:01] Speaker 1: Do you know the laws of the heavens? And can
[28:05] Speaker 1: you set up God's to minion over the earth so
[28:09] Speaker 1: your life will not move at the frequency of desire.
[28:13] Speaker 1: Desire is important, but what desire is to destiny is
[28:19] Speaker 1: what salt is to food. As important as salt is,
[28:22] Speaker 1: you can cook salt and serve me with it. It's important,
[28:27] Speaker 1: but it's not as important as the rise. Are we together?
[28:31] Speaker 1: You can bake salt or bake and no, no, no.
[28:35] Speaker 1: When the food is there, then you can add. You
[28:37] Speaker 1: can sprinkle it. So don't say I desire increase. That's
[28:44] Speaker 1: one ingredient, a less than one. At that you have
[28:47] Speaker 1: to understand the whole combination. So please joining with me
[28:51] Speaker 1: for a few minutes as I unveil to you by
[28:53] Speaker 1: the integrity of God's world the keys that really bring
[28:57] Speaker 1: increase in the kingdom. If you already shout aim number one,
[29:02] Speaker 1: The first principle that governs increase in the kingdom is.
[29:07] Speaker 2: Your connection with God.
[29:10] Speaker 1: Your connection to God, and your connection with God, the
[29:15] Speaker 1: strength of your connection with God. You want to put
[29:18] Speaker 1: it that way, John Chapter fifteen, place from verse one
[29:21] Speaker 1: to five, but the verse of emphasis will be four
[29:24] Speaker 1: and five. The first secret of increase in the Kingdom,
[29:28] Speaker 1: as revealed in the scripture, is the strength of your
[29:32] Speaker 1: connection to God. Let's start from verse one, iron it
[29:37] Speaker 1: throughty five. I am the vine, true vine, and my
[29:41] Speaker 1: father is the husbandman.
[29:43] Speaker 2: Verse two. Please every branch.
[29:45] Speaker 1: In me that beared not fruity, take it away, and
[29:48] Speaker 1: every branch that beared fruity project that it may bring
[29:52] Speaker 1: forth more fruit.
[29:53] Speaker 2: Ver's three.
[29:55] Speaker 1: Now ye are clean through the world which I've spoken
[29:58] Speaker 1: to you. Let's shout for one five to together. Ready
[30:00] Speaker 1: want to go abide in me and I in you. Aha,
[30:05] Speaker 1: as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself. Stop there,
[30:09] Speaker 1: stop there, stop there, don't rush that scripture. He's already
[30:12] Speaker 1: giving you a warning. Don't waste your time. He's saying
[30:15] Speaker 1: the branch cannot bear fruit of itself. I know you
[30:19] Speaker 1: are a businessman wanting to increase and be fruitful. I
[30:23] Speaker 1: know you are a parent. But he gave it disclaimer.
[30:26] Speaker 1: He said, any time you see a branch bearing fruit,
[30:29] Speaker 1: it is because it is connected to the vine. As
[30:33] Speaker 1: the branch cannot bear fruit of itself. Accept it a
[30:38] Speaker 1: vibe with a vine, no more can ye accept ye
[30:42] Speaker 1: abide in me. Let's read verse five together. I am
[30:46] Speaker 1: the vine. Ye are the branches. He that abided in
[30:51] Speaker 1: me and I in him? The same, My goodness, the same,
[30:59] Speaker 1: the same, the same bring it for fruit. The same
[31:02] Speaker 1: business man who abides is the one who brings for fruit,
[31:06] Speaker 1: the same mother, the same father, the same preacher, the
[31:09] Speaker 1: same man of God, the same, not another one. The
[31:12] Speaker 1: one who abides connected to the vine is the one
[31:16] Speaker 1: who produces fruit.
[31:17] Speaker 2: I am the true vine. There are false connections.
[31:21] Speaker 1: You join yourself to many chariots, and you find out
[31:24] Speaker 1: that the grafting does not work.
[31:27] Speaker 2: You know how it is, as you graft a.
[31:28] Speaker 1: Plant and then you put it and expect it, it
[31:31] Speaker 1: doesn't is.
[31:32] Speaker 2: There's no compatibility. But he is the true vine.
[31:36] Speaker 1: The ones you graft yourself to him, you can be
[31:39] Speaker 1: sure that something begins to flow from the root to
[31:42] Speaker 1: the vine to the three. Behind consistency of results, behind
[31:50] Speaker 1: ever increasing dimensions of glory that you see in the
[31:54] Speaker 1: life of any man. I'm telling you the results are
[31:57] Speaker 1: revealing the strength of his connection with God. How many
[32:02] Speaker 1: of you know that if you buy a brand new
[32:04] Speaker 1: television a brand new television, usually the interior people can
[32:10] Speaker 1: do an excellent work, so they will cover where the
[32:13] Speaker 1: television connects to the wall and connects to a socket.
[32:17] Speaker 2: You may not see it, but it's there. All you
[32:19] Speaker 2: need to do is press.
[32:20] Speaker 1: Your remote or speak to it, or do whatever it is,
[32:23] Speaker 1: and it comes on almost magically. But behind the scene
[32:27] Speaker 1: away together now, even though it was covered by the
[32:30] Speaker 1: interior people to make your living room look good. Don't
[32:34] Speaker 1: be deceived that television is not powering itself. It is connected.
[32:39] Speaker 1: That's what happens. You may not see the man's secret
[32:43] Speaker 1: business with God, but what you see is the fruits
[32:45] Speaker 1: of it. Are we together now behind any destiny that
[32:49] Speaker 1: is fruitful and experiencing increase in righteousness consistently. So I'm
[32:56] Speaker 1: telling you the first key is the strength of that
[32:59] Speaker 1: man connection. Abide in me, Abide in me, abide in me.
[33:09] Speaker 1: Many people want increase in finance, increase in ministry, increase
[33:13] Speaker 1: in influence, and they run around trying to route other
[33:17] Speaker 1: ways and other sources. And the one who gives increase
[33:21] Speaker 1: still remember a scripture Paul plants Apollo waters, but exclusively
[33:28] Speaker 1: it is God that gives the increase, and they do
[33:30] Speaker 1: not come to him. The Bible already said to come
[33:33] Speaker 1: before the throne of grace, that you may obtain mercy
[33:37] Speaker 1: and help in the time of need. One of the
[33:42] Speaker 1: things you may have heard me teach about help is
[33:44] Speaker 1: that help can.
[33:45] Speaker 2: Come too late.
[33:46] Speaker 1: It matters that help comes on time. The value of
[33:50] Speaker 1: help is that it comes when.
[33:51] Speaker 2: You need it. Help can come too late.
[33:55] Speaker 1: That's why the Bible says to receive help in the
[33:58] Speaker 1: time of need. The reason why the Sistyle of Lazarus
[34:03] Speaker 1: cried was that when Jesus arrived, Lazaro had died three days.
[34:07] Speaker 1: You say your coming is a waste. If you had
[34:09] Speaker 1: come on time, he would not have died. Jesus said,
[34:11] Speaker 1: don't worry even now, it's not too late. Your connection believers,
[34:17] Speaker 1: please yar me. The journey to increase is not a
[34:22] Speaker 1: cannally minded person's advocase it to feell lost.
[34:28] Speaker 2: I want money.
[34:29] Speaker 1: By all means, I want increased.
[34:31] Speaker 2: By all means.
[34:31] Speaker 1: No, sir, it is the depth of your walk with God,
[34:36] Speaker 1: the depth of your connection.
[34:38] Speaker 2: The hotter your passion, the greater your increase.
[34:42] Speaker 1: I can tell you this grace and peace is multiplied
[34:45] Speaker 1: through the knowledge.
[34:47] Speaker 2: The knowledge.
[34:49] Speaker 1: The stronger your secret place, the stronger your prayer life,
[34:53] Speaker 1: the stronger and the deeper your consecration with God. Loving
[34:58] Speaker 1: Him sincerely your poshn onto him. I'm telling you will
[35:02] Speaker 1: see fruitfulness in your life and you will experience increase.
[35:05] Speaker 1: Many believers you may have heard me, observe they are
[35:08] Speaker 1: interested in using God, not loving Him. That's why they
[35:11] Speaker 1: don't get increased. Lord, I need you to grow my church.
[35:17] Speaker 1: So God to you is like Manoah, it's like fertilizer.
[35:20] Speaker 1: Just come and make my church grow, and then you
[35:21] Speaker 1: can go and pique. I hear you bring people, Just
[35:25] Speaker 1: make it happen. And God says, no, is that all
[35:27] Speaker 1: I mean to you? Allelujah. I have found this in
[35:35] Speaker 1: my life. The secret of everything. The little that you
[35:40] Speaker 1: see God doing in the life of this man standing
[35:43] Speaker 1: before you. It's not too much of technical knowledge. Thank
[35:47] Speaker 1: God for knowledge, Thank God for skill. What I'm telling you.
[35:51] Speaker 2: The secret the presence of God. Allelujah.
[35:57] Speaker 1: I shed a bit with him leaders in the morning,
[36:00] Speaker 1: that when the glory of God rests upon your life,
[36:03] Speaker 1: that glory comes with encounters, and the encounters come with
[36:07] Speaker 1: tokens of his glory, the token of wisdom, the token
[36:11] Speaker 1: of understanding, the token of power, the token of skill,
[36:15] Speaker 1: the token of utterance. These are the things that buy money.
[36:19] Speaker 1: These are the intangible resources. There is no market that
[36:23] Speaker 1: sells wisdom. There are libraries, but wisdom as a commodity
[36:28] Speaker 1: cannot be bought on earth. There is no market that
[36:31] Speaker 1: sells utterance. There is no market that sells annointain. There
[36:35] Speaker 1: is no market that sells all of these things. If
[36:37] Speaker 1: you are looking for them, you might assert them from
[36:40] Speaker 1: a rem and a dimension that is beyond the earth.
[36:43] Speaker 1: And the only conveyal of those realities is the glory
[36:47] Speaker 1: of God. So as you spend time loving Him, passionately,
[36:51] Speaker 1: devoted to him, not in a pretentious way so that
[36:55] Speaker 1: men will say you love.
[36:56] Speaker 2: God, but a depth of connection.
[36:59] Speaker 1: I'm telling you, whatever flows from the vine flows through
[37:04] Speaker 1: the branches, the branches, the fruit bearing part of the
[37:09] Speaker 1: vine if you want to verify that a tree is fruitful,
[37:13] Speaker 1: you look at the branches when it is time for fruits.
[37:16] Speaker 1: Am I speaking with you? Allelujah? So your connection very quickly.
[37:21] Speaker 1: Number two the second key that controls increase. Are you
[37:26] Speaker 1: ready knowledge? Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, knowledge. The greater your knowledge,
[37:37] Speaker 1: and there are three dimensions of this knowledge.
[37:38] Speaker 2: I'll talk about it quickly.
[37:40] Speaker 1: The greater your knowledge, the greater the manifestation of the
[37:44] Speaker 1: glory of God in your life. And the greater increase
[37:48] Speaker 1: manifests in your life. Now, please look at me every
[37:51] Speaker 1: time we talk of knowledge in the Kingdom. There are
[37:54] Speaker 1: three dimensions of knowledge. Please learn this and don't forget.
[37:58] Speaker 1: The highest level of knowledge is the knowledge of God.
[38:01] Speaker 1: That's the highest level of knowledge any man can press
[38:04] Speaker 1: into the knowledge of God. John seventeen three. This is
[38:08] Speaker 1: life everlasting, that they may know THEE the only true God,
[38:12] Speaker 1: and Jesus, whom thou has sent. That's the highest level
[38:16] Speaker 1: of knowledge. Let not the wise man glory is wisdom,
[38:19] Speaker 1: the strong man glory in is strength, the rich man
[38:22] Speaker 1: glory is riches. But let him that gloria glory in this,
[38:25] Speaker 1: that he understand that an knowed me that should be
[38:28] Speaker 1: Jeremiah nine twenty three. Thereabout the pride of the believer
[38:32] Speaker 1: is that you know God.
[38:33] Speaker 2: Number two.
[38:34] Speaker 1: The second dimension of knowledge is the knowledge of the
[38:38] Speaker 1: principles of the kingdom, the knowledge of the principles of
[38:44] Speaker 1: the Kingdom. The third dimension of knowledge, which is the lowest,
[38:50] Speaker 1: even though it's important, is knowledge in your area of expertise,
[38:56] Speaker 1: knowledge in your field of endevil.
[38:58] Speaker 2: Are you saying that if all you.
[39:00] Speaker 1: Have is secular education, that's one over three and is
[39:03] Speaker 1: the lowest one of the three. That's why sometimes you
[39:06] Speaker 1: can be disappointed. Now, there's nothing wrong with getting secular education.
[39:09] Speaker 1: But in addition to knowledge in your field of endevil,
[39:14] Speaker 1: expertise in your field of endevil, you add to it
[39:17] Speaker 1: the knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom. Let me
[39:21] Speaker 1: tell you something. You can have someone who is an
[39:24] Speaker 1: exceptional IT person but does not know the law of honor,
[39:28] Speaker 1: does not know the law of relationship. Now, those are
[39:31] Speaker 1: higher laws. They are the laws that make your education work.
[39:35] Speaker 1: Are we together?
[39:36] Speaker 2: Now, So you.
[39:37] Speaker 1: Can have technical academic knowledge, but if you do not
[39:41] Speaker 1: know the knowledge of the laws of the universe, the
[39:44] Speaker 1: knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom, like the knowledge
[39:48] Speaker 1: the law of honor, like the law of diligence, like
[39:50] Speaker 1: the law of consistency.
[39:52] Speaker 2: If you do not understand this, you find out.
[39:55] Speaker 1: That your academic knowledge will seem to not be able
[39:58] Speaker 1: to provide results. And then the highest level of knowledge
[40:02] Speaker 1: is not the knowledge of It is the knowledge of
[40:04] Speaker 1: Him God himself is someone learning. But generally speaking, the
[40:11] Speaker 1: greater your knowledge, the greater the glory of God manifests
[40:14] Speaker 1: through your life, and the greater it is that you
[40:17] Speaker 1: experience increase. It takes discipline to get knowledge. Knowledge again,
[40:23] Speaker 1: is beyond desire. You must press through desire. Prohaps eighteen
[40:27] Speaker 1: hund ers one a man, any man haven't separated himself,
[40:32] Speaker 1: seekret and intermedle it with all wisdom.
[40:35] Speaker 2: So desire initiates the process of the journey. What you
[40:39] Speaker 2: must press for knowledge? Are we together? Knowledge is not
[40:42] Speaker 2: a gift, It's a reward.
[40:44] Speaker 1: You must press. You must press with hunger, you must
[40:48] Speaker 1: press with meekness. Everybody say, knowledge, the more you know.
[40:54] Speaker 1: That's why you must thank Pastor for allowing for this
[40:57] Speaker 1: conference and bringing in speed.
[41:00] Speaker 2: You can't after speaker. Are we together? What you are
[41:03] Speaker 2: getting is distilled knowledge? You see.
[41:05] Speaker 1: What makes mentorship powerful is that the knowledge you get
[41:08] Speaker 1: from mentorship.
[41:09] Speaker 2: Has been distilled. It's aggregated.
[41:12] Speaker 1: Nonsense has been removed from sense, and so is consumable immediately.
[41:16] Speaker 1: It saves you the labor of having to edit. Are
[41:19] Speaker 1: we together now?
[41:20] Speaker 2: Yes? Distilled knowledge? Number three?
[41:31] Speaker 1: Anyone who desires to receive an experience increase?
[41:34] Speaker 2: Are you ready obedience?
[41:37] Speaker 1: The third principle that translates to increases obedience the toonometchapter thirty.
[41:43] Speaker 1: Please quickly give us fifteen and sixteen. Someone's life is changing.
[41:49] Speaker 1: Say amen, see I have said before you this day,
[41:55] Speaker 1: life and good, death and evil verse sixteen. In that
[42:02] Speaker 1: I command you this day to love the Lord your God,
[42:06] Speaker 1: and to work in his ways, and to keep his
[42:09] Speaker 1: commandments and his tartans and his judgments.
[42:13] Speaker 2: To what end that down mayors.
[42:15] Speaker 1: Live and multiply, And the Lord thy God shall bless
[42:21] Speaker 1: thee in the land, whether thou goest to possess it.
[42:25] Speaker 1: Obedience is directly connected to increase. Forget about increase if
[42:31] Speaker 1: you place value on disobedience. Obedience is not just repeating
[42:37] Speaker 1: what God has said. Obedience is keeping the conditions.
[42:41] Speaker 2: That guarantee his participation. Obedience.
[42:45] Speaker 1: Many say what God has said, but they do not
[42:48] Speaker 1: work in keeping with the conditions. Every promise of God
[42:52] Speaker 1: in scripture concerning you, especially increase, is connected to a condition.
[43:00] Speaker 1: Just claim the promise, obtain the doing grace to satisfy
[43:04] Speaker 1: the condition connected to the manifestation of the promise.
[43:08] Speaker 2: You understand me.
[43:09] Speaker 1: Now saying the name of Jesus, I receive grace to obey.
[43:14] Speaker 1: I receive grace to obey. Don't just claim promises. You
[43:20] Speaker 1: must obtain grace to obey. It's called the doing grace.
[43:24] Speaker 1: It says, now that you know these things blessed or
[43:27] Speaker 1: happier you if you do them. If you do them,
[43:32] Speaker 1: If you do them, Joshua one and verse eight says
[43:37] Speaker 1: this book of the law shall not depart from out

[44:01] Speaker 1: good success. It says, having the readiness to judge every
[44:04] Speaker 1: disobedience when your own obedience is complete.
[44:09] Speaker 2: The grace to obey God fully. I release that grace
[44:12] Speaker 2: upon you. Say amen.
[44:16] Speaker 1: So Number one the strength of your connection with God.
[44:19] Speaker 1: Number two knowledge, the greater your knowledge. Number three obedience,

[44:40] Speaker 1: sixteen ten, Matchew.
[44:41] Speaker 2: Twenty five twenty one.
[44:43] Speaker 1: Here that is faithful in that which is least, the
[44:46] Speaker 1: Bible says.
[44:47] Speaker 2: Is faithful already not will be. He is already faithful
[44:51] Speaker 2: in much.
[44:52] Speaker 1: And he that is unjust in the list is also unjust.
[44:57] Speaker 1: In March Matthew, chapter twenty five, please and verse twenty one,
[45:01] Speaker 1: his Lord said, unto him, still the parable of the talents,
[45:05] Speaker 1: He said, well done, thou good and faithful servant. Thou
[45:08] Speaker 1: hast been faithful over a few things. Now I will
[45:12] Speaker 1: make you ruler over many things, over how many things?
[45:17] Speaker 1: It started with talent and ended with many things talents
[45:22] Speaker 1: and many.
[45:23] Speaker 2: Things like It starts with being faithful.
[45:25] Speaker 1: With your prayer life, and then it ends up with
[45:27] Speaker 1: transgenerational influence. It starts with one thing, but your faithfulness
[45:32] Speaker 1: in that one thing. The one thing can be serviced
[45:35] Speaker 1: in the house of God. The one thing can be
[45:37] Speaker 1: your spiritual vibrancy. It never starts and end with only
[45:41] Speaker 1: one thing. It starts with one thing, but it.
[45:43] Speaker 2: Ends with many things. Allelujah.
[45:48] Speaker 1: Someone learning faithfulness, Let me encourage your beloved brothers and

[46:00] Speaker 1: Assignment is to clean this poopet, do it with all
[46:04] Speaker 1: your heart, knowing that the God of increase is watching you.
[46:07] Speaker 1: If you are simentist to clean the House of God,
[46:10] Speaker 1: whether supervised or not, do it with all your heart.
[46:14] Speaker 1: If you are simentists to lead in songs and worship,
[46:17] Speaker 1: do it with all your heart. Don't mind the markers
[46:19] Speaker 1: while we're obeying. If you allow markers to distract you,
[46:23] Speaker 1: it's like somebody is shouting and stopping you.
[46:25] Speaker 2: From sowing your own seeds.
[46:29] Speaker 1: Someone learning faithfulness, I release upon you the grace to
[46:35] Speaker 1: be faithful in the name of Jesus Christ.
[46:39] Speaker 2: Possible.
[46:39] Speaker 1: My problem is, my real problem is finances, and up
[46:43] Speaker 1: to until now, my finance is less than a hundred thousand.
[46:46] Speaker 2: Be faithful. Be faithful there.
[46:49] Speaker 1: When you are faithful at that level, it qualifies you
[46:53] Speaker 1: for the next level.
[46:54] Speaker 2: I can tell you this.
[46:55] Speaker 1: If you cannot manage one hundred thousands, well you can't
[46:58] Speaker 1: manage one million. Well, there's nothing like God bless me.
[47:01] Speaker 1: You will see He's already seen it.
[47:02] Speaker 2: Now. I way together. Now, you know.
[47:05] Speaker 1: Sometimes we do all these political prayers with God. It
[47:08] Speaker 1: is not moved by those sentiments. Lord bless me, you
[47:12] Speaker 1: will see. I'm seeing it now. I gave you one
[47:15] Speaker 1: hundred thousands. You didn't pray for one week. I gave
[47:17] Speaker 1: you a hundred thousands. They didn't find you in church.
[47:20] Speaker 1: I gave one hundred thousands. An offering basket was passing.
[47:22] Speaker 1: You acted as if you were praying. He said, no,
[47:24] Speaker 1: I can't.
[47:25] Speaker 2: I can't. I can't bless you. I can't make you
[47:28] Speaker 2: a treasurer in my kingdom.
[47:29] Speaker 1: You are learning me, saymen, faithfulness received grace to be faithful.
[47:42] Speaker 2: Faithfulness is the quality of.
[47:44] Speaker 1: Consistency, regardless the results. The quality of consistency, regardless the results,
[47:51] Speaker 1: whether it is in rain or shine, Whether I am
[47:54] Speaker 1: appreciated or not, whether my head of department or my
[47:58] Speaker 1: head of unit seize me or not, whether those who.
[48:00] Speaker 2: Appreciates me intentionally refused to see me or not. That's
[48:04] Speaker 2: not their business.
[48:05] Speaker 1: There's the all seeing eye of God and his a rewarder.
[48:08] Speaker 1: Because you know, sometimes let me speak to corporate people.
[48:11] Speaker 1: You can be giving your best and then another person
[48:14] Speaker 1: is receiving the blessing. You are the one making things happen,
[48:17] Speaker 1: driving that company to productivity. But when it's time to
[48:20] Speaker 1: appreciate you see them just call some ignorant person in
[48:23] Speaker 1: front of you, just because he's ahead of you and
[48:25] Speaker 1: he's receiving all the awards that should be yours. Don't worry.
[48:28] Speaker 1: But the KI helped the king, and nobody remembered him.
[48:32] Speaker 1: He still stayed quietly. He would have been angry and
[48:35] Speaker 1: left and say I'm not walking there again. The day
[48:37] Speaker 1: his blessing would be looking for him, he would not
[48:39] Speaker 1: have been there. The Bible says one night the king
[48:42] Speaker 1: could not sleep, and he said, bring me the chronicles,
[48:44] Speaker 1: and they saw there. When the KI rescued the king,
[48:47] Speaker 1: and he said, what was done to this man, he said,
[48:50] Speaker 1: nothing I sense in my spirit for someone.
[48:52] Speaker 2: You have been faithful for many years.
[48:54] Speaker 1: It looks like everybody has forgotten you, whether it's see
[48:57] Speaker 1: in church or corporately. In the name of Jesus and
[49:01] Speaker 1: by the power of the Holy Spirit, we open the book.
[49:03] Speaker 2: Of remembrance concerning you.
[49:07] Speaker 1: God will remember you in this season, and it will
[49:10] Speaker 1: be clear that serving God pays in the name of
[49:14] Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, Allelujah.
[49:18] Speaker 2: Number five. Are you ready?
[49:21] Speaker 1: The fifth principle that controls increase is thanksgiving. Thanksgiving number one,
[49:29] Speaker 1: the depth of your connection to God or with God
[49:32] Speaker 1: number two, Knowledge number three, obedience number four, faithfulness number five,
[49:37] Speaker 1: thanksgiving Psalm sixty seven, five to seven.
[49:43] Speaker 2: Let's be the name of the Lord. Let the people
[49:45] Speaker 2: praise thee O God.
[49:47] Speaker 1: Let all the people praise thee verse six, Then shall
[49:51] Speaker 1: be eath? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
[49:55] Speaker 1: Don't assume you understand that scripture. When the Bible says,
[49:58] Speaker 1: then shall the eath not mean then shall low may
[50:01] Speaker 1: soil or clay soil? You are that eath he's talking about.
[50:05] Speaker 1: There is increase locked up within you. You see that
[50:08] Speaker 1: when the Bible talks of earth, he's not just talking
[50:11] Speaker 1: on the ground yet, yes, the ground, but he's talking
[50:13] Speaker 1: of that edthing vessel too.
[50:15] Speaker 3: Thank you for watching every perform missage broads strains today
[50:19] Speaker 3: blvers media and I'm so glad I watched this very end.
[50:23] Speaker 3: So like we do on this channel. We'll have to

[50:34] Speaker 3: so many lives, and his ministry has gone farm beyond.
[50:39] Speaker 3: So now there was an opportunity for us to pray
[50:41] Speaker 3: for a man of God apposed to Joshua. Settleman who
[50:44] Speaker 3: pay at the hand of the Lord. Continually be upon him,
[50:47] Speaker 3: that the blessings of God shall be upon him. That

[50:53] Speaker 3: never arounder. He shall grow from glory to glory and
[50:56] Speaker 3: high sight. That shall be a fresh annoynce on his head,

[51:09] Speaker 3: you've brought and what you're doing this ministry. We thank
[51:12] Speaker 3: you for this so that you've brought to your kingdom.
[51:15] Speaker 3: Trappers to Salman. We give you the glory Esus, to
[51:18] Speaker 3: give you the glory Jasus, your name is. Don't believed
[51:21] Speaker 3: that above every other name and tesious me amen, So
[51:26] Speaker 3: gret straight into the commentary today our topic cause refuse
[51:32] Speaker 3: to be powerless as a believer. You should not have
[51:36] Speaker 3: anything to do with powerlessness, because if you're powerless as
[51:38] Speaker 3: a believer, the devil will trample upon you and you
[51:41] Speaker 3: have no power over him. Well, as a believer, you
[51:44] Speaker 3: should exercise the authority and the power you have in God.
[51:47] Speaker 3: You should know your stand as a believer. You should
[51:50] Speaker 3: know you should know where you stand as a believer.
[51:52] Speaker 3: So from this message, I was so so blessed, and
[51:55] Speaker 3: I've learned to stand my ground and exercise the power
[51:58] Speaker 3: I haven't got, And I know that you're blessed. So
[52:02] Speaker 3: of course go ahead and start tpping as all that
[52:04] Speaker 3: you learn from this place, it how it has impacted you,
[52:07] Speaker 3: and the testimony is I can't wait to see them
[52:09] Speaker 3: all go in stress into it. The first thing I
[52:12] Speaker 3: have is empowerment. Power makes you to be empowered. You
[52:16] Speaker 3: get empowered. You know what to carry, no the power
[52:19] Speaker 3: inside of him, recognize the inner strengths and take ability
[52:23] Speaker 3: of your choices as a believer who intends to be powerful.
[52:26] Speaker 3: As a believer who doesn't want to be powerless, you
[52:29] Speaker 3: need to be able to recognize your strengths, know what
[52:33] Speaker 3: your strengths in the kingdom, know how far you can go?
[52:35] Speaker 3: How many hours can you pray? How many hours can
[52:38] Speaker 3: you first recognize your strengths and our believes to make choices.
[52:42] Speaker 3: If you don't be someone that is always there, you
[52:44] Speaker 3: cannot make choices for yourself. You're saying, well, anyhow to
[52:48] Speaker 3: stand your ground, make your choices, rule your world. No
[52:52] Speaker 3: one should do it for you. Okay, So the next
[52:55] Speaker 3: one is taken true. Identify areas where if you're powerless
[53:00] Speaker 3: and takes more steps to change. We need to identify
[53:04] Speaker 3: areas where you feel weak. You should identify our weaknesses,
[53:07] Speaker 3: these areas where you feel like, oh I cannot do it,
[53:09] Speaker 3: I feel so powerless, and this point you should be
[53:12] Speaker 3: able to identify those areas and take steps to change it.
[53:16] Speaker 3: The first thing is to identify the areas of your weakness,
[53:18] Speaker 3: the areas that if you're powerless, then you take small
[53:21] Speaker 3: steps every day, little by little and little, and you
[53:23] Speaker 3: make it out day great. So we have self awareness,
[53:28] Speaker 3: understand the values and priorities, and make informed decisions. So
[53:33] Speaker 3: way you understand that, and we believe I have the
[53:35] Speaker 3: power of God that's talking me. I have the power
[53:37] Speaker 3: of God in my life. Then you're able to stay
[53:40] Speaker 3: informed and make informed choices. You're not making the decisions
[53:43] Speaker 3: like an unbeliever. You're making this into like someone that
[53:45] Speaker 3: does no good. But as a believer who understands that
[53:50] Speaker 3: he has powerside of him, he has the power of
[53:52] Speaker 3: God in his life. That will you be able to
[53:55] Speaker 3: make informed decisions about yourself. Okay, so the land is
[54:01] Speaker 3: very very important. Like I renately spoke to me that
[54:04] Speaker 3: certain boundaries, sets boundaries, sets clear limits with others to
[54:09] Speaker 3: protect your time and energy. Many believers, we don't. We
[54:12] Speaker 3: don't have boundaries at all. Like your food, anything anything
[54:16] Speaker 3: goes for you, or command the fort to attend. You
[54:18] Speaker 3: carry yourself and you're going, oh, my friend just camarag
[54:21] Speaker 3: wants to come to just the green or you can
[54:24] Speaker 3: never even anniversity, you know, and it's so wrong as
[54:27] Speaker 3: to believer. If you have certain boundaries, certain boundaries for yourself,
[54:30] Speaker 3: set cleanings. Oh you can't produce limit it. This is
[54:33] Speaker 3: my boundary. You can't go this for you can't go
[54:35] Speaker 3: this further. Set clear boundaries and your kids do it
[54:39] Speaker 3: so that you don't overstep and people don't over step
[54:42] Speaker 3: into your private space. Support network surround yourself. It's people
[54:49] Speaker 3: who are police and supporting. Always have persons to support
[54:52] Speaker 3: you no matter what. Always have persons who support you,
[54:55] Speaker 3: persons that have your back. That there was an iron
[54:59] Speaker 3: shop on its irons to those a man continence his friends,
[55:02] Speaker 3: so it's half pay around. You have a network of
[55:05] Speaker 3: believer so it always needs to hold you when you
[55:07] Speaker 3: feel like falling. That with the wrong of their following
[55:10] Speaker 3: you and your path as though okay. Growth mindsets always
[55:15] Speaker 3: have the great mindset as a believer in on men's
[55:18] Speaker 3: stagnant to your men to grow, your men to grow.
[55:21] Speaker 3: That you're at a part of class place in your
[55:23] Speaker 3: life for many months, for many years, you've been at
[55:26] Speaker 3: the particlass sport. It's because you have not understoodble growths
[55:29] Speaker 3: miss You cannot stay at the same place over time.
[55:32] Speaker 3: You have to grow. So you need to understand the
[55:34] Speaker 3: groat mindset. Understand your strategies to groot and you'll be fine.
[55:40] Speaker 3: Take action. You don't work throughout physical work is dead.
[55:45] Speaker 3: You cannot be making decisions every day. You'll put your
[55:47] Speaker 3: oginal rights right to do least right or you need
[55:50] Speaker 3: to do your rite and write and write, but you
[55:52] Speaker 3: never do any of them. It's basically useless. You need
[55:55] Speaker 3: you need to like take actions, make your plan and
[55:58] Speaker 3: take actions. That way you're going to actualize them. They
[56:01] Speaker 3: consistent more actions towards the goals and build momentum. Okay,
[56:08] Speaker 3: so I would like you to access olf those Christians.
[56:11] Speaker 3: What areas of my life are powerless? What area of
[56:15] Speaker 3: your life is powerless? You know me feel like you
[56:21] Speaker 3: will got it around it, but a part of us.
[56:23] Speaker 3: If she's like, oh, we need more, we need more power,
[56:26] Speaker 3: we need more help from God in this area. Just
[56:28] Speaker 3: identify that area of your life that needs the more
[56:31] Speaker 3: power of God, that needs more help from God. What
[56:36] Speaker 3: more steps can I tak to regain control? That's the
[56:40] Speaker 3: next question. This era of my life. Okay, I've identified
[56:43] Speaker 3: that it needs more power, it needs the help of God,
[56:46] Speaker 3: the access of Again, what can I do? What steps
[56:49] Speaker 3: can I take? What majors can I take to ensure
[56:52] Speaker 3: that I take control, that I regain power and authority
[56:56] Speaker 3: in this particular area. Then the third Christion is who
[57:00] Speaker 3: supports my grout and empowerment? That as yourself, who supports
[57:05] Speaker 3: your growth and empowerments? Does your circle affects positively, there's
[57:10] Speaker 3: a circle of friends. There's a circle of friends affect
[57:14] Speaker 3: your life. Does a circle of friends help your life?
[57:18] Speaker 3: Who supports your growth and empowerments? And when you're able
[57:22] Speaker 3: to answer these questions, you identify ways to help you
[57:26] Speaker 3: grow what spiritually and gain powering God. So yeah, we
