7 LIFE LESSONS FROM DEBORAH || Funke Felix-Adejumo

[Music] [Music] as we look at this verse of the scriptures today and as we look at deborah in particular i want to draw out some lessons that the holy spirit opened my eyes to in the light of the revelations that we are looking at today and the first thing i'd like you to know is that life is a privilege it is not a right life is not a right it is a privilege we don't have the right to live god is god without us he has only decided to be god with us you are not alive because you are young or because you are the best or you are beautiful or you are handsome no death is not a respecter of degrees professors die one day old children die so life is not a right it is a privilege and if you understand that life is a privilege you will live well you will live right you will not waste your life because you don't have to you cannot say i'm still a student i'm still single how you do one thing is how you will do everything how you show up for one thing is how you will show up for other things if as a single person for instance you cannot serve god you come late to fellowship you come late to church when you get married it's not going to be better life is a privilege life is not a gift number two life is an assignment based on trust [Music] life is an assignment based on trust we see this in debra's life i see we have a mix of males and females alone life is an assignment based on trust you are alive because of your unfinished assignment the reason you are not dead is because you still have something helpful still expect some things to be accomplished in your life by god's grace i have written and published 105 books but i'm still writing the reason why i'm still breathing is because god still expects me to do more and i've made up my mind that i will leave till i die i will leave till i die i don't want to die useless no and that's one of the reasons i've come to challenge you today let me tell you this one of the most important statements i'm going to make a good marriage is a salary paid by god i am a proof serve god as a single person love him with all your heart love him with passion serve him i told you i got one again 42 years ago i still go to church as a bishop's wife to sweep the floor and because god lifted me and i had to be travelled a lot i employed somebody that is not even a member of the church that has a cleaning business every saturday he's in church cleaning and i pay him every month today is his paid day for instance and every time i'm telling the lord father it's me sleeping oh you know it's me sweeping is the assignment you have given to me as a single person my husband was the most active brother in church as a single person i was the most active sister in church we were not thinking about marriage we were just serving the lord a great christian marriage is a salary page of god serve him and i will continue to sweep until jesus comes all till i can no longer sleep because like i usually say it is or it was broomful i was holding before jesus gave me microphone john chapter 3 verse 27 a man can receive nothing except it be given to him from above he gave it to you he will test you then he will trust you there's a story behind every success the success does not have a story don't go for it my son just told you about his story now we raised them with the principle of don't rely on your parents when i was in secondary school i'm sure that if [Music] [Music] and let somebody interpret your hand is you excuse me it's your relation don't depend on your parents for life [Music] that is not how to live it will not last we will not always be here for them you see but nobody can take what you know from you that's life don't be a parasite that is a problem do you know now that money has now moved up finance is now the first or the leading cause of divorce it used to be infidelity it used to be adultery statistics now is telling us that it is now finance so whether you are a man or you are a woman you need to have your own criticize me or not on social media it doesn't matter as a woman if the totality of your financial life depends on your husband you are a colossal disgrace [Music] i will say it for life it is the truth the book of esther chapter 2 they gave her her own don't be one of those women that spent only their husbands money your husband is not el shall die else he shall die [Music] help him don't allow your husband a lord please pay the entire school fees the child you nurture will nourish you in the evening of your life life is not governed by miracles life is governed by principles if you don't sow into your children's lives forget it when you are old you don't want to know we take the reward have your own so when your husband says can i get one million naira from you even if you don't have you ask him when do you want it every human being is a psychologist don't be a slave in your marriage and this is a start as a single person invest into your life mother and i have been in ministry full-time ministry for 33 years well he 33 i 31 and we have been in full time business 35 years i'm hard working if you see me on the farm you will not believe i can be psychedelic liberty

please another change that person must go to school that we do [Music] speaking in church on sunday there is a young man that is on wheelchair in our church he sits in the front i was driving out of the house one day i got to the second street and i saw this young man crawling on the floor i said what i'm in this world and the fellow human being is crawling i parked the car come on come on he jumped in who are you he told me his name what do you do then he told me that he wasn't born this way it was one nurse that gave an injection and today he's on a wheelchair and every time i keep changing the wheelchair until we have faith to heal you you must leave the floor then we decided he should go to school today he's a graduate the government has given him a job and i told him in

[Applause] is a war against womanhood what's going on here women get married and their marriages have problems today because of the way they dress husband is sleeping with you my scar scarf stuff [Music] [Applause] scarves got scar scarf everywhere i've come today to scatter some things he said this is this is how we have been doing it since the fellowship started saying hebrews chapter 1 verse 1 god we used to do it like that before now this is how is it come on shine your eyes sometimes we think we are spiritual we are only religious it's religion we put people in bondage you don't we are jewelry you don't wear scarf it's fine but you god seek more than the people that make your makeup [Applause] if you want to try your stuff tie your skirt [Music] [Applause] you don't have a scaffold on your head come one of you come you don't have the scarf come my sister the houses have come now listen everybody face them [Music] look at these two beautiful ladies at this one i like the shape of her face look at her both of them jesus died for them she has no right to condemn her and you leave god in your lips she has nowhere to condemn her and your stuff less than your stuff less muslims whether you are ahmadiyya or you are not sweat oh jah that's what i'm trying to say we are sisters in your hearts don't condemn people so that you will not miss the rapture let us love each other if if i'm living in fame it's a different thing she can tell me look jesus died for you this is not but not about scarf or no stuff this has divided us for too long did you hear what our precious father pastor whom he said recently he said i made a lot of mistakes and i will correct before i die that is a leader that's a leader some of our fathers that started we have got don't we so this is not what makes you i will never wear transparent dress i will never wear a dress that dishonors god but i want all of you to know that love is the greatest we are together hug hug yes i love you both [Applause] do you understand i brought the two of them i saw you seeded that it doesn't matter face god love him serve him if you don't wear jewelry you can use a scarf so just tie something on your neck look good don't look like a panel beating volkswagen car [Applause] you look good [Music] the first time i put on earrings after marriage i hadn't won for 10 years my husband said to me you look like a woman [Music] so only god knows what has been going on in that marriage he is the devil is struggling by marriage and the devil is saying i don't even know your address i don't know your address let me follow you i like the way you tried your [Music] some people will tie their gilly you'll be saying god what what is this look at that one style here look at the cup some people will wear berries even the devil will be saying i mean they're bad too [Music] look at this [Music] do you still like me [Music] [Applause] [Music] life is alone and not a gift one day we will give a count one day as we look at deborah because i'm going to be closing very soon as we look at deborah you notice that number one for you to experience what we're talking about in the light of revelation you must understand the concept of time time time is crucial ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 1 to everything there is a season and a time proverbs 31 15 she rises also while it is yet night her country went not out by night deborah understood the mystery of time genesis 18 12 he said i will certainly return unto you according to the time of life unit of life is time we measure life by time this is why we have dates and days everything on earth is tied to time every human being is limited in time time spent is irrecoverable no matter how rich powerful or anointed anybody is we have all been given 24 hours equally in each day nobody has been able to buy more time for himself or herself nobody has been able to extend over 24 hours this is the light in the revelation understand the concept of time time is going don't waste your time measuring on my loss focus on your assignment focus on the reason why god sent you to planet earth time waits for nobody don't allow anybody to waste your time those of you that are brothers here don't waste any sisters time stop dancing around a lady without telling her your intention because others may want to come other sitters and here you are every time you arrive at her and you know you will not marry her up wasting people's time stop wasting your time on telephones conversations time is going wake up thank god that deborah arose at that time she has the understanding that she should arise at that time she said village life ceased going to village life because some elders are here they understand what it means one person gives back to a child and the entire village raises the child can't we see now that village life has ceased [Music] all around the world when we were young in this trap of your blood shows you'll be feeling bad but now they will they would make dresses that showed the cleavage village life has ceased now they wear dresses that are so short and then they begin to pull it and pull it village life has ceased they say masturbation is not a saying now they say baby mama [Music] you don't need to be married you can have a child village life has ceased and i wonder how the lord jesus christ is feeling in heaven no wonder he says shall i meet faith when i come the fact that it is popular does not make it right [Music] please dress distantly leave your life to please god or mother who is offended i just differentiated between between religion and spirituality now i'm not putting you in any bondage but in your heart you must know when you are dishonoring god with your dressing [Music] how come that you will put on the dress and then when you bend like this people will be seeing your breasts what are you trying to show off that's not how to be a child of god you can't sit down and everything is showing you here that is so transparent so let's live our lives to please the lord she said village life ceased then i arrows the concept of time is very very important very very important if you look at everything that god created you see the concept of time a woman gets pregnant there is a time for delivery a dog gets pregnant there is a time line the elephant can i just drop this the dog gets pregnant and i think maybe 68 days or something or 64 days the dog delivers he can deliver um 15 20. but look at the elephant it takes 22 months but you know how many puppies you can get in one elephant so the fact that your mates are leaving you behind so it seems what you are carrying is the reason god comes late when he wants to come big don't give up god is working behind the scene anytime there is a lock down but god is walking behind this thing you remember in the book of kings that woman was the prophet said lock the doors but a miracle was happening remember in egypt when there was a lockdown god was killing the firstborn so anytime it appears as if god is slow what is going on here god what are you doing he's coming big for you don't because of that compromise if a man tells you until i sleep with you i cannot marry you he said bicycle wait for your back wait for your bentley true love waits to love wait don't let any man mess you up in the name of i will marry you if he truly loves you he will wait don't allow him go to the holy of holies it's your property keep it number two be ready to break out from the norms and traditions of your time that's what debra did light in this revelation will help you to fulfill destiny whether in marriage whether in your vocation be ready to break out from the norms and the traditions of life debra was a woman tradition forbid her from leading women did not count in those days but deborah accounted so i want you to please understand that you must be ready to break out those of you that are young men here as you get married please invite your wives and let them shine you
