[Music] that you're my god you're all together lovely all together worthy all together wonder [Music] sing here i am here i am to say you're all together [Music] [Music] yes [Music] [Applause] [Music] let it be a declaration from your heart yes [Music] [Music] [Music] spirit of the living god except you open the eyes of a man he cannot see except you speak we're not sure of the things that we hear we have come o god building line upon line precept upon precept we cry for illumination we cry for grace empower also god and i pray that the entrance of your word will come with light and even understanding unto our hearts we vow that forever christ to be glorified in our lives and in this house in the name of jesus amen god bless you please be seated hallelujah even though i've been given the liberty of time without restraint wisdom demands that we walk within uh an acceptable range of time so that we can gain maximally [Music] while also [Music] redeeming the time so that we can have the luxury of fulfilling our various obligations praise the lord i started yesterday by showing us a scripture in isaiah chapter 3 isaiah chapter 3 and i said that when judgment is coming upon a land the judgment comes by and through the withdrawal of noble men that one of the ways please give it to us media let's walk together isaiah chapter 3 we start from verse 1 that when judgment is coming upon a land and a people it doesn't just happen by inflicting them with pain necessarily that there will become a sudden withdrawal of noble men and that when a land and a territory is left without men of vision and men of nobility that land is destroyed the bible says for behold the lord the lord of hosts don't take away from jerusalem and judah the stay and the staff the whole stay of bread and the whole stay of water we're reading to verse 4 this is what will be withdrawn in a land for it to be judged the mighty man the man of war the judge the prophet the prudent the ancient the captain of 50 the honorable man the counselor the corning artificial and the eloquent orator i will give children to be their princes when all the noble men are gone all that will be left are children and babes children are not necessarily those who are young they are those who are void of experience void of intelligence that means when god wants to honor a land he does not just send the holy spirit alone but he introduces this caliber of men to a territory that when he begins to introduce the judges the prophets the prudence the ancient then that land can be strengthened and this conference is an attempt to walk in partnership with the holy spirit to reintroduce the understanding that sponsors this kind of men to our society again this is how greatness happens at a territorial scale are we blessed praise the lord and i did observe that we have a twofold mandate broadly speaking and our father our father did so much justice to our hearts this morning into the afternoon just helping us to see the necessity of of soul winning and not just to ourselves alone but that our household must also be praise saved name of the lord and so that the first global mandate that we have is to see that the lordship of christ is established in the hearts of men and we agreed yesterday that the spiritual system designed to achieve this is called the gospel that the gospel is first a message it is a message that saves what is the gospel a revelation of the love of the father revealed in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of jesus the son and the object of that love is man primarily and then creation to the end that if and when we believe in the substitutionary sacrifice of jesus as a testament as a token as a representation of the love of the father that among the many things we receive is the life of god what we know as eternal life are we together this was a testament john said this is the record that god hath given us eternal life he says and this life is in his son so that it is whoever has the son that has this life this is the first global mandate that everyone who is on earth today as far as god is concerned should be about making this happen you must be a contributor to making this happen are we blessed the monday to see to it that souls are saved not just in a religious form but that people come to a point where they accept the lordship of christ and it was for this reason that the holy spirit was given when you read john chapter 16 he said that when the holy spirit comes he will reproof the world he has a ministry to the world of sin of righteousness and of judgment are we together he will bring them to a point where they see the need for a savior praise the lord but then the second dimension of the mandate is that through dominion and influence the purposes of the christ the lordship of the christ will be established across every strata of human activities now this is the part of the gospel that has not been properly understood the territorial dimension of the gospel the dominion dimension of the gospel the dimension of the gospel that affects creation affects our sociology affects territory for a very long time believers have limited the scope of the gospel and the christian experience to just the personal experience of salvation and growth and your relationship and intimacy with the holy spirit now that is profitable and would have been all if you were the only one on earth but the bible is not afraid to tell us that the whole world lies in wickedness the bible is not afraid to tell us that we are sheep but among wolves are we together the bible lets us know that not all men have faith the bible lets us know that we have been mandated to cohabit with individuals who have refused to bow to the lordship of christ that means there has to be an intelligence supplied to the believer as a person and as a people to be able to rise to positions of dominion and influence this is the only way we compel our territories to come under the lordship of christ hallelujah praise the name of the lord revelations chapter 11 and verse 15. the bible says and the seventh angel sounded the trumpet revelations 11 and verse 15 and there were voices in heaven saying that the kingdoms of this world the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our lord and of we jesus christ and the bible says he shall reign forever and ever are we together psalm 24 the psalmist observed that the earth is the lord and its fullness thereof it says the walls and all day that dwell daring for many years there had been a contention over the ownership of earth different kings roles to claim ownership and every once and again god will find a way of letting them know that everybody met land on the earth the earth is the lord's and its fullness thereof hallelujah and that men must rise to a position of dominion listen why is dominion important dominion is not just important just for the sake of self-aggrandizement or for the the carnality of it no our understanding must be so constructed as to view things from a kingdom perspective this has been my reservation to the body of christ for many years that the foundation upon which many spiritual truths are taught is not well established truths like prosperity truths like influence are we together now until people understand the kingdom dimension of these things teaching them ordinarily we only lead people to canality and a waste of time you teach people about things like prosperity and money and favor and increase if they do not understand the kingdom purpose behind it and they are not connected to god you have only supplied them the tools for their eventual destruction that everything only gains perspective when you bring it in consonance with kingdom are we blessed so please all the things that i'm going to be sharing here make no mistake do not do not believe this is just a marketing of the ambition of men or a or a promotion of flesh and and and self and no no no we're people who are governed number one by our passion and our love for god number two our understanding of his need and so we are equipping ourselves with the tools that will lift us to that position where we are able to legislate on behalf of his majesty if we achieve that then this conference is a success are we together amen so we we we got to a point yesterday where we were discussing what i call pillars of dominion the factors that help men to rise to positions where you can compel a territory to buy into your ideologies it is very powerful everybody is being influenced by someone and everybody is influencing someone and if we must institutionalize godliness and if we must make the value system of the kingdom not just the message of the gospel but the gospel as a value system a mind control system that that weaves itself into the fabric of society so that even those who do not declare the lordship of christ are compelled through the excellency of the saints to subscribe to the value system of the kingdom hallelujah yes so that number one the first pillar of dominion is our spiritual connection i'm doing a recap for those who are following online or hear our spiritual connection the the awareness that life is spiritual is is is a realization that we must carry for the rest of our lives in as much as we we do not advocate a fanaticism without purpose we're not just people who are spiritually alone we have a body we have a mind we relate in a sociological sphere but we must never confuse never be embarrassed about your sense of spirituality that is the foundation of all things hallelujah out of um the gospel of john out of the four synoptics matthew mark luke and john every one of them starts with um some of them start with a historic perspective they start you know the book of matthew and all of that they start giving you history of this and that these begot these this regards that or others would just start with the exploits of jesus like mark put his own account but john was the one who began tracing it from the realm of the spirit and he said in the beginning not from the beginning in the beginning i don't know how far but somewhere in the beginning i can start from there in the beginning he said was the word and he said the word was with god and the word was god now he wants to write on a an account of what was happening in the earth but he had to start with the beginning god the same he said in the beginning was with the word the word was with god and so on and so forth and then he began to talk about the divinity of god then he now got to john the baptist and then so on and so forth and it continued that way he traced it right to the divinity of god never forget this formula in the beginning god in the beginning of your pursuit god not knowledge god in the beginning of your career god in the beginning of your business god in the beginning of politics and government god in the beginning of church god in the beginning of family god if he does not begin he cannot defend anything there because he only becomes omega over what he became alpha over you cannot invite him somewhere in the middle of the mess and say lord continue with me he will start afresh because he's a god of patterns are we blessed already so our spiritual connection is very very important it is only by god that we rise the mysterious force behind our rising inasmuch as we engage the principles that are sociologically accepted that help to sponsor influence and excellence and greatness but we are aware that beyond the things that men will see about us there is a force ask any great man and they will tell you no matter how unspiritual they look in the presence of people they are aware that there is some spiritual support they do not stand pharaoh was not shouting for nothing there was a sponsorship of the gods of egypt the medicine the persians did not shout for nothing they were spirits over that territory that empowered the speakings of men it is a risk to be alone the bible already said it is not good for man to be alone a woman is not the only thing that helps a man's being alone it is not good for a man to do politics alone it is not good for a man to do business alone it is not good for a man to start the journey of life alone there has to be a backing the god of heaven who can come as a deliverer as a support when david stood before goliath he said goliath you come to me with your spares and your bows but i come to you in a name i look small but there is a name the name of the lord the bible declares is a strong tower it says the righteous run to it and they are saved hallelujah your spiritual connection number two the second pillar of dominion we began yesterday and we'll take it off from there is trus the power of transformation sustaining superior belief systems that if you ever want to be given an opportunity to represent the council of god at the corridors of power it will take more than just secular education it will take more than just a well-intentioned heart that there is a requisite level of transformation that allows you to be able to represent the council of god in experience at a global level and this has nothing to do necessarily with the limitations of background and so on and so forth there is no excuse if at all we want to rise to positions of global influence where the governments of nations where territories we listen to the council of god that comes upon our lips then we have to trust god to evolve and to change to metamorphose into superior dimensions of ourselves that will allow us to be worthy of listening to transformation to be able to sustain kingdom perspectives matthew or numbers number 13 let's look at number 13 uh i don't know where we'll stop but maybe just write it let's not read it numbers 13 25 to 33 this was moses sending the 12 spies to go and spy the land i want to really walk with time and the bible says that a few of them came with a report that god calls an evil report not a bad report an evil report moses amazing we went to the land and we saw so all of them saw but now they are interpreting what they saw and some said we saw truly the land was flowing with milk and honey but my god we saw the sons of anak men with six fingers and six toes we were like grasshoppers and god was hearing from heaven and then caleb and joshua silenced them and said let's go up at once i know what we saw we are well able let's go up at once what you see there are many miracles that were performed in the bible but they were a set of people that when god saw he never left them the way they are blind people god was so passionate about the miracle of the opening of the eyes not just the physical opening of the ice alone because it was a reflection of something in fact the bible tells us that the primary weapon of satan so says apostle paul is to blind the minds of the people that when satan comes to attack an individual he does not just inflict he does something to your mind and casts a spell upon that mind so that you no longer can view things i hope you know that you don't just see with your eyes you see with your mind through your eyes so our interpretation about god our interpretation about life our interpretation about success is a we we view from different vistas lenses that have been given to us from cultural lenses that have been given to us from a a sociological context that promotes mediocrity and so on and so forth and so when we converge like this we allow the holy spirit through the world to open us up to superior dimensions that translate us and gives us belief systems that can help us to reign and to do well in life are we together every society i wrote down here is a reflection of the value system and the beliefs of its people every society without exception the dominant value system the dominant belief system in every society is what controls the people there in fact many of you may have heard when we deal with demons and all of these we talk about a class of demons called familiar spirits do you know their operation the assignment of familiar spirits is to study a territory and to study the dominant mindsets that keep certain people in certain ways and to guard those mindsets to see that transgenerationally those mindsets continue this is the assignment of those spirits so if it's a mindset of laziness they will protect all of the pillars that make for that mindset to continue and they continue to market and transfer it from father to son and then you find out it is the presence of these mindsets that create patterns negative predictable circles so you can see a society for instance that is with predominantly lazy men i can tell you it's not just spirits there is an ideology that would have been given to them transferred transgenerationally that makes the young men there to believe there is no nobility in dignity so when the receiver of that mindset those spirits now come and build a fortification around that mindset we call it strongholds stronghold is a belief system that has been fortified by the presence of demon spirits to keep the victim consistently within that circle of thought so the bible says the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through god are we still together he says to the pulling down of strongholds then he says casting down every imagination is the greek word yes there and bringing every thought right to the obedience of christ you are not changed until your beliefs change you may be saved but just having the experience of the new birth may guarantee your eternal destiny but it may not guarantee your relevance in the earth it will take a process called transformation this is why the holy spirit was given to the church jesus was mentoring the disciples and then when he gets to john 16 he says i have many things to tell you but ye cannot bear them now how be it when he the spirit of truth is come he says he will guide you into all truth he will guide you into all truth in fact when you read ephesians chapter 3 and verse 9 please give it to us paul began to mentor the church in ephesus and when he started he he started by establishing the basis for his apostolic authority how that he was made a partaker of the fellowship of the mystery so that everyone who heard him will understand that he was not just bragging but he was one who had received the privilege of the election of grace and then when he gets to verse 9 he says this is his mandate to make all men see that a man can be given a grace that opens the eyes of blind people that when you begin to speak to people you take away the skills that have kept them sometimes for years and for decades i think for me one of the greatest deliverance in africa is understanding the systemic character of god that the practice of christianity and the christian faith that makes everything absolutely up to god how can they allah sharia no matter what happens we're coming with that that that superstitious illusion that we have no responsibility whatsoever in making things happen on earth and the devil likes that kind of ideology it is well meaning it is sociologically function comforting but is very destructive so we refuse to take responsibility over the things that make for greatness imagine kicking your car and just allowing it to move by itself without being at the steering to drive it to unexpected end are we blessed the time has come i know that i'm speaking to the men but it extends to everyone we must sustain the unashamedness to review the foundational pillars of our belief system what do i believe and where did it come from don't say we it's been like that an error can be there for a long time and look like the truth we must sustain the thoughtfulness to begin to probe the foundation of our belief systems not onto rebellion but onto transformation the goal is not so you begin to attack people and say no no no no the idea is you are demonstrating your your passion for change because our destinies will be a reflection i told you that the results that we have in our lives are a report card they are telling us the the level of growth of our understanding and belief system or otherwise i love my dear country nigeria i love africa and as i have the privilege of taking the message of the kingdom around this nation and this continent i am amazed at what people think god will do about their lives i am shocked at the level of irresponsible men who just believe that one day by an act of providence and superstition their lives will suddenly change and then they will prove to people i told you god is alive please don't be i hope i'm not too hard i'm sorry i'm sorry but we we have to just get this thing down transformation until a society upholds belief systems that promote integrity respect and honor gratitude diligence humility these are priceless virtues that that make every society civil and you see i told you that when people act the problem is not what they did or what they do the problem is the belief system that informs that that is what must be corrected are we together i was so touched when our father came and was challenging the men over our children and so on and so forth because the the narrative we have received in africa is that the cane is the only way of talking to a child so if the child does something wrong he just knows that he just had moments of pain and that's it and there is no communication our mentorship systems are poor in africa people are largely left on their own to scrounge their way the bible says in jeremiah 6 and verse 16 it says stand in the way right that ancient part and says it says ask and when you find it that good way what you need our mentorship systems in africa are very poor the average young man has a lot of finding out to do about his life so by the time you are 25 by the time you are 30 you are still confused as to what your life would be about and then sadly speaking and respectfully so many loved ones and parents are now hoping their children figure out what this life is about and remedy for their own mistakes so the average young man in africa does not have the leverage of wisdom the leverage of experience in a very specific way [Applause] and this is something that must be corrected do you know what it means to get born again at age 30 it looks young but that's not an advantage you've spent 30 years in confusion gathering all kinds of error in your mind now you get born again at age 30 before you argue about the holy spirit and receive his ministry and then if you are fortunate to be under a mentor that now teaches you well it takes time to know god it takes time to understand the principles of the kingdom before you start using them when we give back to children from age 2 3 they start going to school immediately but we delayed their salvation till they are 30 and they are 40 and then you are we blessed transformation when our number about now watch this as we're sitting here talking someone is planning to rob this night i hope you are aware now let's go into the mind of that thief now by this time what exactly is he thinking because remember the armed robbery will happen maybe 2 a.m or 3 a.m god forbid we're going to pray against that but i'm saying right now someone is sitting quietly in his house and an ideology is making him believe that you are so you are so valueless you do not have anything that you can exchange for a reward and the only way is to pick up a weapon and go and harass a dear family and try to attack their sacrifice their rewards for years imagine the thinking that convinces a man to actually carry a rifle and jump a fence the same regard it takes to jump that fence is the same regard it takes to read a book and yet he will prefer to go through the risk of the cold do you know the level of intelligence it takes to steal ideologies when a young boy stands before his father and mother and says i'm 18. don't talk to me you are stupid father or your stupid mother forget what the mouth is saying think about the mind something has been sold there is a context that has been given he's someone has helped him define masculinity that for you to be rated as a strong man that that masculinity is is is proportional to rebellion society mocks those who are obedient they look at men who are obedient to parents and the nobility of honor they say you are weak you are cheap they they they make people feel bad for being obedient the more you are rebellious the more you are strong-hearted and strong-headed they say that's excellent there is a problem if we do not understand this and rise there will come a generation that will erode every value that keeps society strong hallelujah and so the spirit of the antichrist works this way it will walk through government of nations it will work through policy makers it will work to different people to enact programs and principles that create loopholes that continue to encourage these kinds of things satan is very long time he's not thinking five years he's thinking 15 years he knows one day those who hold these values will die so he can't stop them from holding their values but he knows that time will erode them out of the scene so he would rather come to our children and start growing with them i want to say this respectfully this is what has happened to the western nations their parents and all their fathers who were doggedly committed to the christian faith the devil knew that i can't make mamma to backslide at this age so he said you know what i know she will die in 20 years but i can grow with the child now the children are now the presidents and the governors and we are there wondering how to change whoever was there for you when you were rising is the one you'll be loyal to at the corridors of power believers cannot come and want to honest taking lives they did not invest in [Music] you didn't preach to me when i started my journey it was an atheist that encouraged me to rise to become a professor and now i'm sitting as the head of an institute that institute will be subscribed it will work as a reflection of my belief system and now here comes christians and we want to just take ownership and have a stake in the life of that man and he says where is your history in my life transformation the process that makes you like christ in experience sustaining superior belief systems hallelujah i told you yesterday when a man beats his wife the hand is innocent the hand only obeyed the mind something about his belief system maybe culturally motivated taught him that when i beat my wife she will respect me every man is a victim of his belief system please hear me every man when we say respectfully speaking that our society is full of men a combination of both responsible and heroes no irresponsible man is irresponsible by default something about his belief system has encouraged him that god will do everything sir the school face of your children has not been paid it's all right god is faithful i know my god he will show up for me and the man is sitting crossing his legs and not doing anything and just wondering and knowing i know god just wait and see it is dangerous for such prayer to be answered because that error now becomes a stronghold when god comes as an act of his mercy for the sake of the children we think it's an endorsement of our carelessness are we blessed the hallmark of masculinity is responsibility i'm not a politician i don't i don't dabble into political affairs even though i'm i'm one person who is very vocal about people of influence i don't run away from them they are my friends because they need that that dimension of kingdom but it's amazing how many people cross their legs and expect government to do everything it's amazing how by government i don't just mean federal government government from their homes my father you see a young man of 30 years and he's angry and saying my father did not give me pocket money what for god's sake what what what else is the definition of irresponsibility now please who apologize after the the conference but but let's let's just let's just get this thing please don't don't don't i'm not being sarcastic this is a shake-up we call it the mandate now imagine and and let me encourage let me encourage blessed people being blessed and prosperous is not a cause give your children room to understand the nobility of process just because a millionaire gave birth to a son does not mean he must become an irresponsible person there are certain things to be withdrawn from him until he understands the nobility and the honor that comes with process sometimes when when things come too easy and too cheap they give us an aberrated view of life it is that impatience that has led to what our young people have today we want to get everything overnight it is one of the reasons why we have no honor for great people because we are not even interested in their story their pain and their history we've been thought that there is an easier route to carry their 35 years and put it in one month favor does not lead to foolishness are we blessed so we watch someone and we say this man is a millionaire most likely he's a thief and then the challenge is that that man respectfully speaking will give his son access to those millions and the narrative the son will take to his friends is you see how easy life is i mean life is so easy i don't know why you are trying to look for a job how much are you earning two hundred thousand and he loves it over with sarcasm those his peers will go back and say whatever it will take to enter this realm tomorrow's realm today the law of process the bible will often say according to the time of life imagine a woman who just gives birth and you're a doctor and the child just gets up just jumps and teeth just comes out and he's ready to no luke chapter 2 and verse 54 very touching statement and jesus grew and jesus grew jesus grew luke chapter 2 and verse 52 and jesus grew if jesus grew everybody must grow jesus grew in wisdom in stature and in favor with god and with men hallelujah transformation where do our beliefs come from number one our beliefs come from culture our cultural experiences we come from different parts of the world and every culture sustains a set of values a set of beliefs a number of them are kingdom compliant but many of them have come from tradition superstition and interaction with spirits we must sustain the intelligence to edit the belief systems that we have gotten from culture referenced to the word of god and that any one of those belief systems that does not square up with the counsel of god we must have the unashamedness to drop it are we together number two very quickly where do our beliefs come from our past experiences the past is wonderful but it can be dangerous chances are that most people most marriages most organizations are products of the pain and the past of people is wounded people that wound others is hurting people that hurt others people transfer their miseries and begin to look for those to bring that to someone comes into a company and he's angry and victimizing everybody and now says look i didn't have it easy myself so what are we together now our past experiences number three our association there is no man that outgrows the power of influence everybody is being influenced every time every day there are people who were wonderful people until they met a set of friends until they met groups and now we're not just talking of young people respectfully at any age there are groups and systems and structures and and relationships that can be pungent to our values [Music] hallelujah the man used to be a responsible man saving money and taking care of his family until he got to a group of friends who were extravagant and lavish and he lost the nobility and the honor of saving and taking care of his family love is a command association is not you have the power to choose friends and you have the power to change if and when those relationships are no longer profitable for where god is taking you to there's no such thing as we're born from the same neighborhood no belief systems i came from a background that had very well-meaning people i saw people who were religious and they loved the lord with all their heart but i was concerned about the widespread rate of the irresponsibility of the men now i say this lovingly but i noticed that it was a trend across that horizon that it looked like people didn't seem interested in aspiring to produce a life that was worthy and noble for their families and it didn't seem like it was there was any problem and i traced and i found out it was the imbalance of the evangelical context of christianity that was received in my region that's where the problem came from that when the missionaries came because most of them would come and go some of them would come and die so the scope of the christianity they gave us especially around the middle belt and the north with a bias for my region you know it was just the fact that okay you need to give your life to christ be morally sound and make heaven and that was wonderful but that was only the part they could bring but that was not all there was so the average man who would give his life to christ and love the lord and just hold some level of morality felt he was fine and yet the children are dying they never had the privilege to go to good schools that would give them the leverage that their peers would have and we think it was not a problem our greatest consolation was the fact that one day no matter what life will be over but if it takes 80 years for that life to be over you will punish yourself and punish your family hallelujah so a woman could be sick and maybe the husband could say no problem don't worry if god does not heal you who am i to heal you and he cannot get up and go to the hospital see so some of those ideologies kept endorsing irresponsibility this is why the pulpit is very powerful it's a mind control platform africa is a very religious continent which makes it easy for our transformation if the leaders and those who are the communicators of those values are sound themselves because the average african sits under the mentorship of a spiritual leader of some sort at least once or twice every week and that means that as men and women of god and our spiritual leaders we have a responsibility to be contributors to national development by helping to influence the mindset of people it is my desire and my proposition that a time will come when the great companies in abuja and this nation will want men from family worship center do you know why because the mentorship here has already reduced their work that the average man who comes has been enlightened enough i made up my mind as a man of god that i was not only going to focus on the spiritual development of people i will prioritize it but the scope of my mentorship will not end there it will be wickedness we must embrace the whole council of god and see that people are not only spiritual but they rise to become tools not only for kingdom come but for national transformation are we together [Applause] a transformed mind a transformed mind he starts from home he starts everywhere he steals a piece of meat and goes cut free and someone sees him and laughs it over and say you stop one child and you do not know something is growing that is that is that is a potential leader who will loot and steal the treasury are we together there is a lot of honor people caught corners everywhere time to write exam and someone is not around another person comes who write the exam for the person and the person is smiling with pride now i'm not i'm not just trying to be sarcastic these things are very serious i'm saying that attacking the individual problems will not solve it we have to go back to the belief systems i'm a student of history and when adolf hitler was going to raise a rebellion one of the things he did was to focus on the mindset of the people he indoctrinated them and made the germans believe that they were the most superior race on the earth it started subliminally until it became a stronghold and the average german believed that every other nation was under and this is the same thing that has happened to us in africa there is an indoctrination that has made an average african believe i'm a second-class citizen and so we carry that mindset we we we carry a fair share of of of boldness but the truth is that intrinsically we have not believed that we can rise to become global in scope whether in ministry whether in politics whether in government thank god for the individuals from the soil of nigeria and africa who have defied this narrative and are showing the world the possibilities that can come from this continent and from this nation the bible says the same lord is rich unto all a superiority mentality is not an arrogant mentality but that there is a healthy sense of confidence that the difference between any two people is not is not it's not their linguistic oratories the quality of their minds that no matter who stands before you you are only inspired not intimidated because transformation and growth is a possibility at any level that means what i did not know yesterday i can know tomorrow please say after me in the name of jesus say it again in the name of jesus i obtain grace to be transformed our mindset can limit us our mindset can make us poor we have all kinds of narratives oh poverty is all right it makes you come it makes you humble i can tell you that narrative is not only it's an evil report like that report of the spies i'm not i'm i'm trying not to go ahead of myself but there are many things that we have received now please don't get angry at um whatever those following maybe your pastor in the church you attend don't get angry with your parents or the leaders that were not able to give you they are not they did their best with what they knew to do but you cannot remain at that level and in this conference in the name of jesus god is shaking off mindset i like you in one minute if you can't please lay your hands on your head and say father every belief system that i have received that is not profitable for kingdom come is not profitable for my spiritual development and it's not profitable for national transformation in the name of jesus i declare that it is pulled down i declare that it is pulled down i declare my unwillingness [Music] hallelujah that's right it's in you lord it's in you lord we know there's more that's found in you [Music] it's in you lord it's in you lord i know there's more that's found in you regardless my background this is my commitment and i will never settle for less i know there's more that's found in you in ministry in business and i will never settle for less when i know there's more that's found in you please sit down listen i had the privilege to be greatly mentored by dr miles monroe of blessed memory and i pray for an opportunity to stand before him in heaven and say thank you sir that you were born [Music] my life is largely a product of his mentorship i thank god for the quality of information that came from him his materials the night he died i was at a conference somewhere in the south south and i got up that morning with a text and i was told that this great transformer who has shaped the mindset of nations he was an advisor to more than 16 presidents yet a kingdom man he showed me a dimension of ministry that the scope of my relevance should not end in the pulpit if i can only talk when i'm holding a mic then i'm a failure i should be able to talk to government i should be able to stand before a parliament and communicate kingdom values intelligently without fanaticism i saw the value of transformation in the life of this great man when i was told that morning he had gone to be with the lord i sat on my bed and tears came out of my eyes and i said dr miles even though you are dead you still live in us and we will become promoters of your ideologies we will cause the government of nations to see that christianity is not a nuisance to civilization [Applause] please listen to me if there is anything you have seen in the life of this man that stands before you that is not worthy it is number one a product of the grace of god fellowship with the holy spirit but it is also a product of sustaining superior beliefs there is no magic about influence and greatness it is a product of beliefs our beliefs are the ladders that we climb to rise to positions of notoriety and power superstitiously wishing that god would just leave do you know that there are certain levels of influence if you don't rise to god cannot use you beyond certain levels let me give you an example in the land of egypt joseph had the ability to interpret dreams he was about the most spiritual man there but he did not have the influence to execute what god would give him so god had to make do with the pharaoh that's why pharaoh had the dream the dream did not come from satan it came from pharaoh because he was the only one who had the influence to make whatever god god was trying to redeem his people from farming that was coming but imagine that joseph was the one who had that dream what difference would it make in a prison so your rising is giving god space for his purposes to be established look how god had to make do with hidden kings and people in the bible because they were the only ones who had access to the corridors of power and they could execute his plan and his purpose do you know what it means for god to find enlightened people you see the excellency of the anointing by the grace of god i'm a student of the spirit and i have learned by experience that the true potential of the anointing is seen when it comes upon an enlightened mind enlightenment gives credence and it it allows the potential let me give you an instance do you know there are people today carrying certain anointings that many of our fathers of blessed memory had but those people did not have the opportunity to be enlightened so we did not see the full scope of what that anointing could do because the anointing is limited to your belief now when an enlightened mind carries that same anointing it can allow all the multifaceted dimensions of it to find expression we need to be enlightened we need to go for knowledge i submit to you that there is a lot of laziness in our territory our passion for entertainment respectfully speaking has outweighed our passion for knowledge and the discipline of growth the average young man is concerned about just enjoying himself no knowledge a young man will sleep from from 8 o'clock till 10 o'clock in the morning you cannot be great that way god is not unjust are we together and it's unfortunate for the narrative that has been given especially for many who want to get into ministry because we've been given a narrative like ministry is just a cheap route to success quickly when you fail in every other area just be a minister and you can get honorarium you can get money you can get tight it's a dangerous narrative i told you yesterday that the miraculous will attract multitudes but it is your wisdom attracts that attracts kings most kings are not in need [Applause] do you have what it takes to be able to sit with politicians and talk about the council of god and guide them in wisdom and discretion in the bible there were people who would run to the prophets and say my father give me counsel can we can we be that transformed that people want to sit close to you because the opening of your lips is the effulgence of wisdom can your words be that expensive can it be paid for are we blessed transformation we have to be transformed this church and the uncommon are a product of the level of transformation that they have contended for no wonder god has honored this church with such caliber of men of influence it's not magic and it's not a mistake it's a product of transformation because the same lord is rich unto all before i come to our fathers please let me talk to every young man here while sitting down listening to me entire covenant with your destiny today at this conference that i will not be small you must make up your mind for some of you that may mean avoiding premature manifestation and go back to the drawing room of your destiny and say i have to start again [Music] the social media sadly has become a place where people market falsehood all around rather than sitting down why fake what can be real can i tell you this i tell you sincerely and with every sense of humility society was designed to honor those who have really paid the price do not think there is no space there is still space for great people younger older like for the bible says neither do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel do you know why there are very few people who have been celebrated because they are they are truly the few that are paying the price there's god's justice system he's the supervisor of the laws he created if you are truly diligent i guarantee you eventually the world will discover you transformation you have to go back to examine your belief systems your belief systems why do i feel embarrassed greeting an elderly person something about your belief system are you seeing that now would it be better people have gotten jobs just for having the character trait of honor good afternoon mommy how are you you're a nice young man you are not at work today well mommy i'm still trusting god you mean it see me tomorrow that's it whereas an another arrogant prayer warrior can be moving around passing his breakthrough every day i'm not being sarcastic no i'm not when i stepped into this place i took out time to honor our mother i came my honor the father most of you will see me stand here and just greet them and all of that in your mind you saying ah it's not necessary could that be why you are where you are have you learned to see that greatness is not cheap do you have in your belief system the construction to honor sacrifice i never see great people and pretend they are not there greatness is hard at any level are we blessed transformation and i believe we can sustain superior beliefs two keys i will give you for transformation number one you want to be transformed you must recognize that your current belief systems are limiting you an unashamed recognition that your current belief systems may be limiting you it is true do you know i am so passionate about the areas of ignorance in my life i thank god for what god has done and is doing in my life but i continue to ask the lord expose to me what i do not know thank god for what i know and thank god for the result it is producing but what else do i not know about leadership what else do i not know about about ministry what else do i not know about responsibility until you become a sacher you will not find the bible says seek and you shall find it will not come to you seated so there has to be a recognition that there are every result that you desire in your life there is a belief system that controls it merely wishing for that result i want to become a kingdom millionaire so that i can supply resources very very good desire and a very good mandate but there is a belief system there is a construction there is an understanding that sponsors that the captains of industry are not there as figureheads in most cases their sacrifice and their belief systems took them there and they have the intelligence to defend what god has given them there so number one you must recognize the need and you must keep that need ever before you do not allow any level of success to peg you number two you must contend for quality information from the life of those who have results when you want to become transformed you must keep biases aside because you will be forced to read materials sometimes of people you do not like but if they have the results that you desire and the results are kingdom compliant then you must drop your ego and get it oh i don't like this professor i don't like this author i don't like this commentary i don't like this this this this dissertation i don't know who you have to just submit yourself and listen hallelujah when you go to a very good restaurant to eat you don't say who cooked this food when you the person who cooked it is is almost none of your business you just see the presentation you like it and you can eat or bring your guests that's how it is every result is governed by a belief system apostle i want to become an exceptional i noticed my company has been nose diving i once was doing well but things are not working well i understand and we are going to pray but much more than just prophetically speaking there is a belief system that must be introduced into your understanding from a corporate standpoint it may mean going to study other related companies to find out how they are thriving through storms are we together now it may be that you you you may need to be part of other superior associations that are profitable there are many steps to take but it starts when you realize that you must grow i don't only study the bible i study relevant materials that are kingdom compliant because it's not only christians i'm talking to it is my goal to be able to talk to any class of people and communicate the intelligence of the kingdom from a psychological standpoint from a spiritual standpoint from an intellectual standpoint from a sociological standpoint i want to give god as much space as he can find in my life to be glorified and i will not limit him with my arrogance and my ego are you willing to go that far if we came for this conference to be transformed then here is something that is blessing us transformation you are a pastor you're a man of god here following online i beg you in the name of jesus please sit down and study please sit down and study please sit down and study just waiting for invitation and waiting for people to clap for you for nothing human beings are not stupid not everybody is a fool people will not invest time and hours and their reputation to see them and hear nonsense no we must trust god for grace the grace that gives us the intelligence to speak to kings when you serve kings you will receive the reward of kings hallelujah praise the lord transformation buy the truth sell it not buy the truth reduce recharge card and buy books reduce excessive clothes and buy materials for heaven's sake sit down when people are snoring you are praying cabba kato scatter lord i know that my world will hear me and it is for the sake of your glory sleep slumber wait i will attend to you in the future for now there is a generation that wants to hear god's counsel in my lips and while you are saying that god who is a supervisor of his loves is watching you where you are i made up my mind as a personal commitment that every area the lord would want me to be relevant whether it is in ministry in leadership whatever area i will strive to get to the zenith of my competence it is still my aspiration and i am honored to see the fruit of the little that i've done so far but i know there's more that's found in you refuse to settle for less don't be as we call it a local champion compare yourself with mediocre within your circle and clap for yourself to be the greatest among them you have to begin to benchmark your success from a global reference is god speaking to us let's rush to the third key are we blessed so far what is the third pillar of dominion it's called value and productivity the third pillar of dominion value and productivity genesis chapter 1 and verse 6 this was the first mandate given to man from scripture the bible says and god said genesis 1 and verse 26 26 he says and god said let us make man genesis 1 26 thank you let us make man the word god there is elohim a singular elohim is plural and god said let us make man in our image our character our character and after our likeness our functionality so let him think like us let him have our sense of intuitiveness but then let him behave also let him function like us and the bible says let him have dominion sovereign control over all of these realms go to verse 28 28 and god blessed them and said it's an instruction number one be fruitful be fruitful be fruitful does not mean have children alone be fruitful means be productive are we together number two multiply number three replenish and then subdue so dominion has to do with being fruitful multiplying replenishing and then subduing hallelujah very very powerful one more scripture proverbs chapter 10 and verse 4 proverbs chapter 10 and verse 4 productivity and value the honor of diligence proverbs chapter 10 and verse 4. it matters that we become a people who understand the power of value he becomes poor the bible says that delete with a slack hand but the hand of the diligent make it rich please look at me i submit to you in the name of honesty that anybody who does not strive to be competent and valuable into this world will be ready to sweep the flow of life are we together what does it mean to be valuable your value is a measure of your usefulness usefulness to guard usefulness to society your value is a measure of your usefulness productivity please listen productivity is the ability to develop your value to a point where it becomes needed and useful turning it into products and services that can be packaged with excellence and served to a targeted consumer base this is productivity it's good to be valuable but don't just stop there there are many people with potentials you hear us talking a lot about potentials nobody is rewarded for having potentials you are commended for having potentials but your reward is based on your productivity nigeria is full of ideas nigeria is full of value full of potentials but your you begin to live a rewarded life to the degree to which you allow yourself to metamorphose to a point where your products your value now is now translated and by products and services i'm not necessarily just talking about business in its in its um the generic form product and services intellectually whatever it is that you serve with excellence productivity productivity proverbs chapter 18 and verse 16. the bible says the gift of a man make it room for him i wish i had time and were not restrained by the covet i would have given you an illustration i usually would line people here and show you that there's no space but the bible does not say the gift of a man gives him his space there is no space anywhere your gift makes room it pushes people until your space is created that illusion that my place is there waiting for me is just is just sociological comfort there is no space anywhere it is your gift that allocates your portion the gift of a man the gift there does not just mean endowment from heaven because spiritual people now say you see it's not me the value of a man the value of a man developed and refined not just wrong like that people congratulate you for discovery but this they reward you when you refine it apostle i can cook congratulations can kings eat your food it's just a talent within me i don't know it came by itself god honored you with his mercy you did not develop it he gave on to one five talent he gave on to one two when he came back and met them still looking at it like that he said you are an unprofitable servant that means whatever god gives you he should not meet it the way he gave you hallelujah make up your mind that i will be diligent in this conference we kill the spirit of laziness in the name of jesus mental laziness physical laziness any and all kinds of laziness make up your mind that i will be diligent i will be diligent don't sit down and envy people who are rising and get angry and wish they fall to comfort you know just trust god for grace to continue to contend hallelujah productivity and value vetoes tribal limitations productivity and value limits gender whatever kind of gender issues in society except you do not find exceptional people you will watch systems and structures bow and crumble to allow them rise this is true hallelujah make up your mind that you are going to be valuable let me show you one scripture first kings chapter 7 we read from verse 13 and 14 are you getting blessed first kings chapter 7 from verse 13 and 14. first king seven from verse 13. now watch this this was the building of the temple of solomon solomon was building a temple for the lord and then he was trying to get all the human resources that would be part of that temple i hope you know he wanted to give god the best now let me show you how kings walk because we are talking of influence it says and king solomon sent and fetched hiram out of tyre so he fetched a man called hiram now look at the background i love the bible it will go back and tell you the background of that person what happened that vetoed this background the bible says hiram was a what a widow's son that means he lost his dad an unfavorable background and of the tribe of naftali his father was a man of tyre a walker in braz and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and cunning to walk in all walks of brass and the king came to and he came to king solomon and wrought all his work so what makes a widow's son to sit down say i do not just want to serve mean men one day king solomon will send for me and that guy continued to rise to be diligent to be competent to be productive and the news of his value got to the ear of solomon and solomon said send for him there are people in this country i submit to you who cannot go out of job for up to two months they are too competent to be ignored i know people in this nation respectfully speaking who are working in three places at their times because they literally at the heart of that company if they cough the company will buy a pharmacy not a drug why must you think about me when you are reducing people why should i be the victim of situations and circumstances make up your mind mediocrity is dangerous i am telling you this there is no group for mediocrity it looks like there is a group till trouble comes and you find out that there are only two groups complete failures or extremely competent people mediocrity allows you to vacillate around the corridors of both failures and successful people and you may flatter yourself for many years thinking you are successful or you are a failure but when the stakes are down you will find out that you are either extremely competent or you are a complete failure make up your mind be valuable for some of you this may mean taking certifications and taking trainings go for it for some of you this will mean buying certain books go for it some of you this may mean furthering your studies go for it for some of you this may mean creating private mentorship sessions with exceptional people go for it for some of you this may mean making yourself the students of knowledge for a long time go for it we are not called to do everything but we are called to excel in that one area hallelujah to excel in that one area i made up my mind as a man of god and now say this humorously i made up my mind that by the grace of god i will never stand on any man's pulpit and preach and afterwards they just clap and say wow that was nice that's the door just go out and air one day by the grace of god in the name of the lord as us to our paths cross again no i found out that there's no traffic with the stars there is enough space and do you know from anywhere you stand in the world you see the stars i may not see what is happening somewhere in my tama right now because my view cannot get there but when it rises to the cloud everybody can see it you want to be seen by everybody don't pressure them to see you where you are there are too many obstructions on the ground [Applause] rise hallelujah i challenge the men in this great church both young and old it's time to have a signature of competence within this assembly and from disassembly to this city and this nation there is always room for more in politics in government it doesn't matter what area and by the way let me respond to something that our mother was trying to say yesterday i believe christians can and should go into politics i believe it absolutely i believe christians can and should go into business many of you have heard i'm sure of the concept of the seven mountains absolutely it should be there you see dominion over a territory is based on very defined structures there are not more than seven number one let me give it to us the first mountain mountains talk of space of influence according to mike chapter four mike chapter four and verse one you may want to write that down mike chapter four and verse one the bible says it shall come to pass in the last days please give it to us that the mountain of the lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains and it shall be exalted above the hills and the bible says all people not christians all people shall flow to it verse 2 and many nations shall come and say come let us go up to family worship center and to the house of the god of jacob for he will what teach us his ways and we will walk in his path for the lord shall go forth from zion and the word of the lord from jerusalem and so we know that there are seven mountains that control the activities of men on earth let me try to run them i hope i remember all of them number one is called the mountain of religion that is where the spiritual conviction of a territory is shaped in every territory has some sort of religious loyalty and religious affiliation and there are people in our case now we call them pastors we call them priests and so on and so forth they are mandated to shape the religious conviction of a territory number two the mountain of family our father did enormous justice to that every armed robber came from somewhere every troublemaker came from somewhere are we together and so it matters if we can salvage the destinies of people at that family unit then we can be able to project a culture in society that brings glory to the name of the lord family is very very important very important number three the mountain of education this is where the intellectual convictions of people are being shaped it is very important did you know that most of our children spend a major part of their life opening their spirits to their teachers for a very long time working by the 63-foot system imagine the amount of time in a young man's life community committed to listening to another voice and it matters what we listen to hallelujah it is the reason why we we continue to trust god that god will grant grace that our schools will be model places that you can trust the the kind of training that your child is receiving not just the secular curriculum but inculcating these values also because the the subject is not the only thing the child is learning the child is also learning the attitude of his teacher hallelujah press the name of the lord so it's important education very important number what now number four the mountain of politics and governance it is my prayer that god will raise spirit filled anointed people but intelligent people too most i have observed respectfully speaking over the years that most people who want to get into politics who are of christian convictions do not stay to pay the price to understand the wisdom of operating in the cosmos and so they carry the ideology of church and believe that the sphere of politics is like a christian praying in tongues all the time and they meet a rude shock i've had the honor and the privilege of talking with a lot of politicians and i can tell you for many of them who are people of god they think spirituality is always mentioned in the name of jesus in secular places not necessarily so we're talking of having a kingdom sense but look at daniel daniel reigned through the dispensation of three kings and none of them could do without him and yet his convictions remained hallelujah praise the lord so it is important i believe that believers should join politics but i will tell you sincerely if believers join politics just with the mindset of church they are going to be in trouble i'm not saying there's anything wrong with the mindset of church but there has to be that wisdom of being as sheep among wolves and being as wise as serpents the wisdom of living in the cosmos is different because not all men have faith there was a time that it was not paul's anointing that defended him it was his intellectual prowess he needed to outsource certain intelligence from the archives of the people within the territory so i challenge politicians and i pray that god will put it in the heart of someone to be able to have mentorship institutes for people who are prospective politicians so that right from the infancy of their ambition they begin to be mentored a non-partisan platform that begins to build people inculcating in them the mindset of leadership and governance many many of the the the i know that there are a few institutes here and there that may seem to talk about that but now we're talking of dealing with things from a kingdom perspective are we blessed politics and governance one policy can frustrate your serving god forever just one you can fast all you can roll on the ground but one single policy was it not because there came another pharaoh who knew not joseph that was the beginning of the trauma and the captivity of the israelites in egypt rose to a point of notoriety and saved his father and his brothers from hunger and they came and lived in goshen and the bible says that god honored god honored joseph so much and he had the opportunity to marry the daughter of potiphara the priest of on and then he became a great person a name was given to him and he ruled in justice and power and god's people were preserved hadassah the lady who would call esther it was her rising to the place of power that saved the jews otherwise there was a man there called her man her man was not even a king her man was someone in the system who had an agenda to annihilate the jews but it took an esther sometimes it does not take weapons it just takes influence the influence enough to be in the corridors of power please pray for politicians especially those who are of the christian faith and encourage them encourage them are we blessed number five thank you the mountain of arts and entertainment this is where our idea about success and the celebration of it comes when someone wins and opens a bottle of champagne and pours it on his head you see a little child will go and carry a bottle of malt and pour on his own head too it's called influence the child is being mentored subliminally that you celebrate success by extra vegans and you will think this is just a little boy until you see what he does with your car until you see what he does with whatever it is that god has given you it is important today respectfully speaking we have all kinds of narratives about success and it came because the mountain of arts and entertainment has cultured us into thinking that the more expensive you are the more successful you are the more outspoken you are over several things the more you know we have all kinds of ideas there needs to be people there who god will help them and when they are celebrities and the whole world looks at them they can point them to jesus and said i'm not ashamed of declaring i've always said this imagine if michael jackson said jesus is lord even by mistake he would have won more souls than many crusades put together influence is powerful do not do not ignore the effect of the words and the life of a great man on many you will be surprised to know how much people are being influenced one day someone will stand and break his head in the front of people and you'll be surprised how many other people will break their heads and while you are laughing and say this is sarcastic you will influence is powerful people will do what they see done in the life of great people that's why god must take a lot of people who are his people to the position of greatness so they can demonstrate to the world how to celebrate from a kingdom standpoint by the time a man is being celebrated and the whole world is looking at him and waiting for what he will say and all his business associates and all the people within his fear of influence they are standing and watching and he tells them let me show you how we celebrate god in this kingdom we do it on our knees lord you are the giver of every good thing you cannot deny his success because the results are there and so you would not know when you two you would join on your knees you were not supposed to kneel down but his success forces your knees to touch the ground arts and entertainment and then the last is the mountain of finance or media really the mind control system you can hear one thing from a five minutes video that will take you two years of praying and fasting and deliverance to get out of your mind let me tell you a humorous story my i hope i hope he's not listening to my father and my mom they are still alive and i'm just hoping he's not listening to you know one day my father was watching a program it was a health program and they were saying something about the disadvantage of was it cabbage or something and my father just called my mother and said i'm hearing that something can happen to cabbage that can kill and i said ah mind control systems this is a man that has eaten cabbage for how many decades and now just are you getting are you getting take it as a joke but now someone is in five minutes just saying something that came from a research and that's the end of it mind control systems hallelujah the last is the mountain of finance this mountain is very peculiar because it controls other mountains all other mountains need the products from this one our world today is economically driven it's an uncomfortable truth but it's so proverbs 22 and verse 2 and then also verse 7 the bible says the rich and the poor live together it says god is the maker of them all very very frustrating statement why didn't he just say men live together and god made them what sort of stratification is this very very insulting ego's thinking statement the rich and the poor they live together and then he says god is the maker of them all he never said god made them so god made men and they stratified themselves but that is not even the disturbing verse five verses later verse seven then the bible tells us let's go to verse 7 please it says is it verse 7 please look ah no no same scripture 22 and verse 7. read it if you're a christian one to read influence now they reach anybody who rule over the poor anybody the rich so there is a relationship between wealth and dominion the rich ruler the rich look at the first three words the rich ruleth leave the rest just focus on the first three words the rich rulers there is a relationship between the corridors of power and access to resources find a way of believing let's not feel uncomfortable about it remember we said kingdom now for as long as believers keep being poor mommy there is a real problem and when i talk of prosperity i'm not talking of money to buy suits no no if the only thing you have is money you are not very wealthy we're talking of access we're talking of influence but we're also talking of resources the name of jesus is very heavy it takes resources to lift it very heavy as the uncommon fellowship only god knows what he would have taken to put this program together only god knows it takes resources to train your child in a good school so that he's not corrupted by by the neglect that comes from the carelessness of you know many many many platforms educational platforms there is a relationship between resources and peace yes sir when jesus when jesus was preaching in a crusade the tribute collectors came is that true so every time you are serving the kingdom who come the tribute collectors and they came and said you are preaching here and you have not paid tax and jesus said give to caesar what belongs i'm showing you how to be a peacemaker give to caesar what belongs to caesar and to god what belongs to god so a peacemaker is one who has enough resources to give to caesar what belongs to caesar and to god what belongs to god many believers have ignored it rent each one house issue can erode your prayer life more than you know you will be you will be shocked and surprised that you are praying and you can you even forget that you are talking to god these are believers in the name of honesty let us be very very sincere yes sir yes sir god forbid but there are people who have had issues with their health and the amount that they spent within one month was probably someone's bill for a lifetime satan knows that whoever controls the resources makes the rules we must trust god for grace to be able to rise to that position where he will grant us an opportunity to serve his purposes seven mountains let me just talk on one more area and we're done is that fine so we spoke on our spiritual connection transformation diligence please be diligent in the name of jesus make up your mind don't sit down wishing for resources to come don't sit down wishing to rise to a position of notoriety by default someone met me one time and he said can i imagine after suffering and going to school nobody wants to employ me and i spoke to him sincerely i said convince me that you are employable just convince me i give you five minutes say anything just convince me that you are employable and it wasn't to be successful okay i read this and that i said no that's not the issue i only employ you to solve a need i don't implore you to honor what you read i implore you to solve my need so if your value is not needed and useful to me i appreciate your sacrifice but clearly you are not going to get a job it's one thing to be educated is another thing to be employable and value can bring you to that point is god speaking to us one more time can you speak to yourself and say in the name of jesus the grace to be competent please pray the grace to be competent you will thank god for this conference and you will thank god for this session the grace to be competent the grace to be competent hallelujah praise the lord competence is powerful jesus spent the first 30 years of his life preparing for a ministry of three and a half years no wonder he succeeded at age 12 when his colleagues were running around he was in the temple learning from the scribes and the pharisees i can almost bet that he most probably would be one of the young people there and from age 12 the bible is silent about 18 more years in jesus's life we do not know what he was doing for those 18 years but the next time he shows up he's a 30 year old young man haven't been baptized by john he now began to teach what we call the beatitudes introducing to them a kingdom and he commanded such influence that the powers that be those days they were threatened by his existence and the power that came from him please be competent you have a salon trust god for grace that kings and the nobles in this city will come to your place are we together you have a school make up your mind that you will raise the standard to a point where everybody who comes out of your school will beat their chest and say god has done it you have a business make up your mind do not be satisfied make him profit be satisfied making an impact let's talk on relationships the fourth pillar let me a few minutes and then we're done i really am trusting that in the name of jesus after this conference there will be testimonies we're going to pray shortly but listen it takes time to be great the things that we are listening to now some of them may not be spectacular but these are the systems if you ever are interested in rising to that position of influence for the sake of his majesty then pay attention to these truths they are not opinions every great man here will tell you that these are the keys the ladders relationships relationships are advantageous connections everything on earth multiplies on the basis of relationships your resources even come out of your relationships please listen it is your relationship with jesus christ that has secured your eternal destiny that's how powerful relationships are just for ignoring a relationship with jesus you pay the price with your eternal destiny it is our relationship with the holy spirit that supplies us the guidance and the wisdom the direction that we need in life it is our relationship with the word of god that gives us the mindset of the kingdom philippians chapter 2 and verse 5. we are able to get the mind of christ because we have a relationship with the world is the relationship of a wife and a husband that produces the offspring it is a relationship between a man and his teacher that provides knowledge everything multiplies on the basis of relationships the easiest way to become successful that i know is through relationships many of you who may have listened to my teachings you've heard me say who hates you in this life does not matter but who likes you matters oh yes it does please hear me it does a king rejects a woman and overnight she stops being queen and the king likes another village girl and in an instant she becomes queen who likes you matters the bible even said when a man's ways pleases the lord god rewards him by making even his enemies to be at peace with him please listen to me there are certain gatekeepers in the corridors of destiny that you cannot bind and cast they are gatekeepers or not by god himself how could joseph had cast a pharaoh no he couldn't bind and cast and say pharaoh in the name of jesus get out of that position i'm coming he's a joke he had to pray god gave me favor with pharaoh there are people the only way the gate is open is for god to make them like you my life is a product of what it means when somebody likes you listen when god put somebody in your life and put people in your life they can accelerate your journey of decades in a moment and i mean it literally [Applause] now we live in a very arrogant world where people always like to take the credits of their growth to themselves they always want to give a narrative like nobody assisted me i push through by myself ask jesus on his way to the cross your jesus was so tired he had bled lost blood and he fell and would have if jesus died on that ground there he could not become sin because the law is that cost is the man who hangs on a tree not dies on the ground and jesus needed a relationship with a man called joseph of simon of cyrene simon carried the cross for him prophetically that was africa carrying that cross participating and helping jesus to get to the cross all men need men to rise not just god you need god i i agree but when it has to do with the corridors of power and influence to fulfill this kingdom mandate you also need men please may god deliver us from that illusion that makes us believe all i need is god if you say that in terms of um declaring the sovereign power of god you are right but if you say to me every man can go places that will rise alone please wake up please wake up in the name of jesus we need men to rise as politicians you need a man to rise ask business people you need a man to rise the matters of your destiny can be at the mercy of a man's signature for years have you been taught that one of the ways god blesses men is by connecting them to other men favor relationships that sustain the ability to transit you to enviable dimensions someone is sitting here right now it is not as if contracts have stopped it is not as if employment has stopped but for god's sake you can be joseph in the pit but who is the one person that will speak to the king for you your value is needed in the palace your talent is dying in the pit between the pit and the palace there must be one person please lend me your attention for the next 10 minutes because i want to share with you something that is a personal revelation god gave me and it changed my life about men and relationships when i found the key i cried i jumped i said i found something that can take me beyond my background i found something you know the bible says the kingdom is like a man who found a treasure and sold everything he had to buy the whole land because there must be more there wise man my life has changed and continues to change and i'm praying that in the next five to ten minutes as i share with you this some of you while you are sitting you will be seeing the dots connecting that truly is time for me to live out this mandate but this may be the reason why my family has been subjugated this may be the reason why my business my ministry has been down so pray one minute open my eyes please pray i assure you your life is about to change pray i know your life will change it's not it's this is no guesswork the things that we have seen the things that we have heard even that which our hands have handled of the word of life that is what we preach [Music] hallelujah praise the name of the lord amen glory be to the name of the lord mark chapter 2 mark chapter 2 jesus open our eyes mark chapter 2 please we have to pray let your spirit be open we are soon going to pray in this place i assure you that you are not going to go back the same way you came we didn't just come here to receive an information after you receive an information there is always a grace that comes upon your life that is the grace that makes what you have heard to walk in your life information alone will only be a lecture but there is an engraving of the spirit mark chapter 2 please help us media and again he entered into capernaum after some days and it was noise that he was in the house verse 2. and straightway many gathered together in so much that there was no room to receive them no not so much as about the door and he preached the word unto them this is jesus now and they came unto him who are the day the bible does not tell us they came unto him bringing one sick of policy which was born of four and when they could not come nigh unto him for the press they uncovered the roof where he was and when they had broken it up they let down the bed wearing the sick of palsy laid five and when jesus saw their carelessness and when jesus saw their foolishness he said unto the sick of palsy son your sins be forgiven and all of that and all of that now leave it leave it there the bible lets us know that there was a man who was sick and had been desiring a miracle that man was paralyzed and he could not take himself there but certain man came to his life and said today you must be healed they made it a mandate to carry him to a crusade ground and when they saw the crowd they said we love you too much to let you go back and we are going to pay for the roof we'll spoil now forgive us but we are that desperate for this person to rise the bible never tells us their names yet the bible does not ignore their insistence to see that that man is healed do you know that if they had left that man on that crusade grant i went back they have tried i hope you know they would have tried you too you have seen we tried we came the crowd is so much even those who have legs we can't pass ladies and gentlemen by this scripture let me introduce you to a mystery that the lord showed me a few years ago it's called the irrefutable ministry of destiny helpers please write it down we are the gates of influence now i hey [Music] you will never be the same you've touched his grace your life must change you have that guy please help that guy that's oh my god the covet is there so hold on please hold on let me say this hold on please be sensitive you look at me now please listen we have to observe the covet um my father is here and he heads this so we have to be compliant now two things i want you to do for me while i talk please help me if anybody is under the anointing close to you um just hold the person there gently yeah number one number two please and please in the name of jesus when it's time to pray still do your best to observe the social distance i don't know how you do it but in the name of jesus there is grace for us are we together so help that gentleman under the anointing there what i want to share with you if you will listen to me in the name of jesus you will come back and thank our mother you will come back and thank this fellowship are we ready please sit down the bible talks about the ministry of men to men the bible lets us know that it is the cooperation of god and men that lift men that men do not just rise because there is a god in heaven men rise because they are also men god himself is not ashamed of his need for men hear what god the almighty god says i search for a man his eyes are running to and fro not looking for animals looking for a man for 400 years the prophecy of the exodus of israel in egypt had come but there was no man prepared enough and 30 years had to be added to prophecy because a man was not ready to the point that when it was time to save man jesus could not come as the god jesus he had to become a man today he seated at the right hand of the father not as a spirit he went bodily and he seated as a man do you know why so that he can come back again the bible never said the father is coming back again if jesus went back as a spirit he would not be able to come back again so he went back this same jesus are we not bible students that he will come back the same way he left [Music] [Music] so it takes god and men for men to look like god in experience that there is a dimension of your lifting no matter how you prayer no matter how you fast god must introduce men to your sphere to lift you now unbelievers know this but many people in the body of christ have ignored the ministry of men in an attempt to supposedly honor god i came from a background where every time we are worshiping god we are told to ignore men don't worry about any man and sometimes it was well meaning they meant to say god is the ultimate answer i agree but hear me brothers and sisters without men in your life prophecy will remain in the realm of the spirit forever i assure you the bible talks about the utopian eunuch that when he was on his way from worshipping in jerusalem and he was going back the spirit of god took a man phillip and he met him and when he was reading the messianic prophecy he said join this chariot and he told him he said who is this talking about and all of that and he said well i cannot accept some man teach me for god so loved men yet men hate men god is there loving men and doing his best to reach men and yet men have ignored men our prayer requests have passed us every day our answers have passed us every day our breakthroughs our liftings but because we do not understand this system of the kingdom we have been stagnated for a very long time destiny help us please write this down destiny helpers are men and women anointed commissioned and authorized to hold your hand and help lift you to the next level of life destiny help us are men and women anointed commissioned authorized to hold your hands and to lift you to the next level of life every realm you are praying for today someone is already there there is no realm that is empty your prayer request is on the table of somebody on earth today whether it is job whether it is business whether it is an opportunity it is breakthrough whatever it is and so when god wants to lift you and bring you to a position of influence in addition to intellectual prowess and all of these things he will begin to introduce you to strategic people some of these people are gatekeepers they are not all christians but they are gatekeepers and god himself recognizes their office and no matter what you do they are honored by him now this is a mystery please listen understand what i am telling you there are four of these kinds of destiny help us and i want to share with you very briefly and then we are going to pray number one the first dimension of destiny helped us that we will all need in our lives to rise to that position of influence that will help us fulfill our divine mandate they are called divine connectors divine connectors second kings very quickly please chapter five divine connectors who are they ordinary people who do not have the power to change your life but they can connect you to who has the power to change your life they do not have the ability themselves to help you please help us media 5 from verse 1. the bible talks about a man called naman the captain of the syrian army and the bible says he was an honorable man because by him the lord had given deliverance so it was the lord that gave him deliverance yet he could not get healing look at your bible it was not the devil that gave him deliverance in war god gave him deliverance in war and yet the bible says he was a leper he was excelling in one area of his life but there was this question mark in this area of his life number two next verse the bible says the syrians had gone out by company and brought away a captive out of the land of israel a little maid see the description now a little maid suggests gives an idea of a small girl who was just a captor from war and the bible says she waited on naman's wife verse 3 and she said unto her mistress would god my lord wear with the prophet that is in samaria for he would recover him of his leprosy that little girl one day while serving madame she said mommy i've been looking at your husband i know this is not the best for him even though he's a great man there is more he can get into i don't have the power but i know a prophet in samaria let me tell you this it takes the first key that you will need to receive from divine connectors is discernment because they come in forms that may not be easily receptive are we together now it may be a newspaper seller who will just be holding a newspaper with your vacancy and he's just waving it at you and while you are laughing at the sleepers he's wearing you are not seeing what god is showing you for the sake of your job he made the traffic light to stop so that you can see discernment this is why only humble people receive from these kinds of people sometimes it can be your little child and he comes to tap you and say daddy pray and you know that he is always throwing transforms but this talk the holy ghost inspired it this one is not just a child talking and that prayer will be what can save catastrophe that is coming in the future when it has to do with divine connectors god can use anybody to speak to you your great man may be foolish for more than half of the year but that very day he will say at least something i'm respectful i'm not you know he may be acting and you are always saying oh this foolish man but that day he can say madam uh there's something i want to share with you and that can be the one idea this pain you are going through like this i once worked for another madam and there was a doctor that used to come and visit her would you want to see that doctor and that's your miracle for those who do not have discernment you let me tell you according to the law of times and seasons and the law the laws of god the bible says that time and chance happening to them all whether you are born again or not that means someone has come into your life sent by god that if you had the discernment you would have seen what god is saying through them divine connectors you will find them everywhere even in this church who knows whether your neighbor is one are we together the most powerful lesson on faith was taught me by our little children in the ministry they come and they don't care whether you are tired they don't care whether you have been preaching church starts for them after the grace they come and stand and they can just say daddy ben i want to tell you something and i'm like ah somebody is joining the line to see me and here comes this child pushes everybody and commands me to bend because he wants to tell me to buy bobo or biscuit and i'm saying okay do you know why since i called myself father i must pay the price for carrying that name so when the bible says we have a father i go back to god and say god i don't know who is on the queue but i have come not to god i have come to father it says when you pray say abba father is not just to pronounce the name father come with this understanding that you are meeting a giver hallelujah how many people have been saved because they could listen to supposedly known entities please i'd like you to leave this assembly today sensitive ready to see and learn from everything and everyone sometimes you can sit down and just watch two birds playing and while you are watching them suddenly you sense that there is an anointing on that scenario and god says i'm about to deliver your business but watch the strategy will not come from a lecture in a university i am using inconsequential animals to show you something do you have the grace and the flexibility to receive the ministry of divine connectors because for many of us until we see people who are great we do not have regard and honor for people you will miss so many things many of the people who will make you great are not great themselves but they know those who are great you must be sensitive while you are looking at the corridors of power be careful the taxi man who carries you can share with you something that will change your life divine connectors ordinary people like that slave girl but they have the power to connect you to great people it is true number two let's hurry up men of access and influence this is the second category of destiny helpers that you need men of access and influence let me assure you in the name of honesty that there are times you do not have access to the gate you will need someone who is already at the gate to speak for you you may never have the luxury of defending yourself you will only need somebody whose credibility has been established to speak for you many people do not know this in business many people do not know this in politics many people do not know this while rising building a track record for yourself sometimes will take your lifetime you will need to convince someone who has a track record and leverage on his integrity and years of sacrifice to say hear ye him hallelujah yes sir there are people today whose businesses can step into superior dimensions there are people today who can be granted access to so many things at ease please do not neglect people of influence their voice has power their names are great they hold keys in their hands and god can use them to open a door for you oh this young man you've been looking for a job okay here is a little note go and give this person just tell them it's from me and that's it that note can work wonders in your hand do you know why it's difficult to receive from great men because many people have not studied the protocol of relating with the great dynamics of relating with great people is such that you must study you must sustain the adaptability to great people are busy people great people sometimes can be arrogant people great people are people who will inconvenience you beyond your imagination you do not relate with a great man at your times no so if you if you put your ego on the line is it because you want to give me a job that you are wasting my time oh dear you just finished your interview right there look at elijah and elijah do you know theologically speaking elijah was a temporal man i'm not sure i want to walk with that kind of person an angry man just for disrupting his fellowship firebombed you what did elisha endure to receive the double fold adaptation is proof of honor hallelujah greatness you must trust god to have men and women of influence who can be able to speak for you there are times that your level of growth would not have gotten to that dimension where you can confront the powers that be you will need to leverage on the sacrifices and the credibility of people there are many people who receive rewards in the bible for the sake of others not for their sake is there any man in the house of saul that i may show kindness for jonathan's sake not for his sake so it's time you begin to pray and say father grant me the grace to honor every great man around me because i will not lie i need their credibility i need their credibility there are dimensions i want to get into do you know it is amazing that the person you are seeking help from has a friend and what if his friend likes you esther invited her man to the banquet too even though she was going to kill him because even if is for a short time her man was still the king's right hand man ignoring her man to show that she was out to kill the jew she would have died like a chicken so she said everybody is invited her man you to come she honored him to his grave you must receive grace some of you after this conference right now you may need to pick up your phone and find one of your uncle or someone that every time you call yourself uncle so are you trying to say you are not aware their school with 19. you see that kind of attitude of entitlement is a very dangerous attitude i am sorry but i will say it forgive me but it's true you cannot constitute an inconvenience to great people and claim you are a stakeholder in their success because of relationship or bloodline no you must sustain the intelligence auntie this is to appreciate you thank you it's been it's been five years since you blessed me but it's still like yesterday i am grateful thank you very much that the day reply does not mean they didn't see it you are not the only one reaching them but something about your consistency and your sincerity will stand out and you may think they are not observing you until the day they send for you they can bring 12 years in one hour and bless you listen let me tell you something great people do not always respond to you but the day they do or you will be glad you stayed you will be glad you stayed you are trusting that he will give you a house rent whereas he has five estates one day he just looks at you and said come with your wife you think he's coming to quarrel you as soon as you enter he gives you a care and said that one at that side please whereas you were trusting god for money to pay rent and keep suffering again and god just used the man to wipe your tears please i hope you know that i'm not being sarcastic listen hardship is not a good thing and as soon as you can get out of it trust god for grace to get out of it these are the systems that bring us out please do not ignore great people whether in this church or anywhere do not resist that temptation of trivializing their sacrifice don't get into that sociological thing of speaking and say is it because god has blessed why didn't he bless you too because the same lord is rich unto all remember i told you to pray before i start teaching i told you to pray [Applause] don't blame me for what this is doing to you i asked you to pray we we we said we'll receive grace from god this can be a word for someone right now why am i praying and yet i'm not rising i am 50 years i am 55 and my life is almost an embarrassment and god says hear my servant this is what you have done to everybody you have called everybody your classmates you have called everybody your colleague there is no classmate in greatness you must submit to greatness and open up yourself to receive [Applause] don't say i was in the university with this i was this this person that was not in he was my younger brother's friend i agree with you but is not profiting you now jesus had to submit to john the baptist even though he was the word of life john said no no i know you you're a great man he says suffice to be so otherwise my ministry will be destroyed you are the spiritual voice in town i can't ignore your relevance and rise how many preachers will want to excel in this city and come and see someone like our mother and just say ah it's just our mother and just and go around and be suffering as if god didn't call you please listen to what i'm telling you how many people want to start a business and they see someone already thriving there and they just ignore him they move around and you know no you've heard my story one time i was traveling somewhere and a very great man in this nation was seated he was sitting on my seat and one of the cabin crew women wanted to walk him and i rebuked her i said don't don't try that this man has achieved more than i've ever achieved in my life don't ever if there is no seed send me anywhere i just want this thing to move and land me wherever i would land the man did not even know i was discussing about him to say thank you but god saw that honor have you dishonored to your detriment whose greatness have you trivialized as if god just helped them nigerians hear me we are making a big mistake africa hear me we are making a big mistake there are people who have labored and deserve no matter what level they deserve they are due or not and dishonoring them to prove a point will cost you supervised by god someone will insult his ceo insult his boss go and sit down and tear him down and yet be praying secretly for the same company you want to have the same cooperation you have already killed the door for reproducing that same result man of influence when god taught me this i developed a healthy respect for successful people oh apostle joshua salman he's just lucky just a young man that god is using every generation god raises people you think like that and see whether god i will not criticize you but i will never prophesy to you brothers and sisters from this place make up your mind make up your mind some of them are even your parents they gave you a leverage you never would have gotten and yet were the first to criticize them they were not serious christians yes i agree but with what they know they made sure you didn't live a very bad life have you gone to honor them and bless them these are the systems of greatness number three the third group of people you will need in your life are gifted people there are times you need more than divine connectors the men of influence will give you access to their wings and the leverage of their credibility but you need gifted people those who can get the job done the best corporations in the world have mastered this they will pay the price to get the gifted people and tripled their salary instead of wasting their resources on different people who continue to become leakages to their profits gifted people sometimes you just need people in your life that can get the job done sincere people are wonderful but it takes more than sincerity to produce results some of us our lives are full of many sincere people they will never destroy you but you are also not moving forward you need to trust god for gifted people in your company gifted people your workers gifted people your staff gifted people skillful and talented people they use their gifts their skills their talents to help you achieve god's purposes it's important they have been people even in business and in life they may not be exceptionally smart as individuals but they are surrounded by phenomenal people and i pray that in the name of jesus especially for every man in this church that god will surround you with gifted people their job is to make our work easy imagine a young man who forgets every instruction you give him oh do this and he said i just forgot how old are you 22. that is he's not a gifted person he may be a sincere person but it may not work that way you need to trust god for gifted people gifted people in your life lord bring gifted people in my business bring gifted people in this ministry bring gifted people in my cooperation bring gifted people everywhere when a nation has gifted people it will thrive when an institution has gifted people it will do well when a ministry has gifted people it will do well number four the fourth set of destiny helpers that you will need in your life they are called burden bearers these are trusted and faithful people who will stay with you through storms they will stay with you through challenges until your glory is revealed ruth chapter 1 please give us verse 16. no matter who you are in this life times will come and days will come storms will rise challenges will come individually corporately and so on and so forth you will need people in your life who can cry with you you will need people in your life who can rejoice with you you will meet people in your life who are not using you as a ladder to achieve their purposes the bible says ruth remember the story of ruta naomi an opera her sister her sister-in-law rude said entreat me not to leave thee or return from following after thee for without thou goest i will go and without thou largest i will lodge thy people shall be my people and thy god my god let me tell you this one of the most painful thing for any leader is to get to a point where your life is shaken and find out that everybody you've labored for for decades and years we're only looking for things to go look at jesus my question is when jesus was carrying the cross where were the people who ate the bread remember those people that eat the bread they even said we'll make you king the next day please be careful when people are clapping for you they are only clapping for their bread through you there are few people in their life who can covenant and say if you are dying i will die with you here hallelujah yes sir most leaders die of heart attack because of the sheer pain having they raised many people in their own homes there are many of you here i'm talking to you you have been in pain for years you raised many people in your home they didn't even know the difference between them and your children and today those people have the f1 tree to start to stand and speak evil and speak ill it can be painful but there are a group of people sent by god they come into your life not looking for your glory they come into your life the bible says this man came and met david in the cave of adullam david was running away from saul for his life they would have met him and said what a weak man you call yourself a warrior and yet they looked at him and they said we will make sure you rise and become king over us so even in that your state we have taken you as king over us how many people have run away from ceos because their companies crashed they were there to serve all our great company and suddenly they hear that things are going down and they fold themselves and run in a heartbeat how many people serve men with power and authority hoping to rise and one day you hear that this man has has been diagnosed of an infirmity and they fold their hands and run away this has happened in politics this has happened in government this has happened in ministry this has happened in business this has even happened in family life but that god will surround your life with people today who you can sleep with both of your eyes closed because you trust that they are in your life to die with you they are not people who stand with you there are people who can die with you are we blessed but the first prayer there is to not pray that they come is to pray that you become one who will now come to you and be a boring bearer when you are not one many of you have heard me say by the grace of god mommy i made up my mind that outside of being a man of god my life's goal is to become a shoulder for people i am that one person who when you are crying i can be if i cannot clean your tears at least i can cry with you it is so comforting to have people in your life who are completely not needing your greatness oh what is wrong i was just told that i have cancer hi where is your fate and then next time you call them they say i'm busy no cancer then me do i have cancer we are dying here you know why i'm saying this so that god will grant us grace to coordinate our energy and not waste our time and our lives on people that at the end you think you have invested in pillars not knowing that you have invested in chaff hallelujah how many of you today god forbid but let's assume that as mummy is standing right now god forbid let's assume that her leg just starts painting hands how many of you can say mommy i will carry you on my shoulder don't be too quick to say meow it's hard to be a burden bearer our daddy was sharing something that touched me so you see why your message really touched me when he was talking about his mother do you know what it means to be paralyzed from neck down think of the the the maintenance and yet for others they will offense will not even let them preach christ again i joseph of arimathea carried that cross and he says i may not die for the world but i can help you god has brought a few of these people in my life and i can tell you is a gift to have people and i pray for you may that burden there be your wife or may that bother me better be your husband too because if they are not no matter who you are times will come in your life where your faith will be challenged people have been betrayed by their business partners they sat together they act together do you know in my opinion i believe that one of the best person to jesus was judas judas was not a wicked man judas was just a selfish man he wanted to use jesus to do business because at the end just that it backfired judas could not use the money to spend it the people who were wicked that were forgotten to talk about were those who came for his crusades they ate the bread they saw the miracle where was jarrio's daughter when jesus was on his way to where were all these people where was the woman at the well and yet he was on his way to that lonely cross crucify him jesus was looking at him yes you have seen me crucify him let his blood be on our children but you ate my bread crucify him you think i liked you i only heard that a celebrity was in town and i came to eat bread let me submit to you sincerely most of the people in your life are looking for their greatness through you it doesn't mean they are bad it's just the reality of living into this world and the day they find an option or they do not find you fit to provide that in a heartbeat knowing that already helps you to shield your heart to know who is worthy of your commitment because we make the mistake of investing our all in just everybody arbitrarily no save yourself that pain and find people who by the spirit are true body and bearers because there are don't get used to the disappointment and the betrayal and the pain caused by people in our sociological sphere and conclude that everybody is like that my goodness i have seen people in this life and i believe there are many of them in this church who have that dexterity they can say look i will stand i will stand with you we will cry together oh i just lost five family members and is asking you all kinds of unwise questions i came from a background where my local assembly my local church they didn't really understand the things of the spirit so much but if someone had a bereavement or something in less than two hours you will see a group of women singing choruses some with rice on their head some with whatever matching and they will sleep in that house sometimes for days comforting the woman but many of us today we don't want to be associated with pain when someone receives a promotion we are there but when someone is in his position of embarrassment ah i'm a bit busy we always do not want to be associated with pain unfortunately if you are not there with me at the place of pain don't expect to be invited at my dinner table this is the reason why when people rise they shockingly go back to their memory and look when i was crying whose voice did i hear crying with me and they said if you cried with me there are people today who have used their being boarding bearers as a stream of income that is the only thing keeping them today the person they cried with and helped vowed and said if god ever lifts me you must eat bread from my table we have to pray that this mandate we are talking about is only achieved through influence and that this dominion and influence has pillars when you see certain people rise in life is not necessarily a measure of their competence it's not necessarily a measure of their personal intelligence but that some of these people have been wise enough to cry with great people before they became great do you know the prayer you have to pray father lead me to cry with somebody who is about to be great tomorrow i may not know now but lord let my tears be part of the his history [Music] please listen listen to me this is a call for action this is more than just a message it is a call for action you will be surprised that some of you can make up your mind and say i may not have access to some of the influential people in this church but i will write their name on my prayer altar and every day as i lift my voice to god i am saying lord i'm praying for our uncle i'm praying for they may not see you but the justice system of god will fish you out one day hallelujah do not rejoice when great people are in pain it's not a testimony can you be there some of us today our parents and loved ones are sick we have not spoken to them in months because we think our mama is always demanding money i agree she would have killed you as a baby the mere fact that she gave back to you you have an eternal death towards her this is why the heavens of many are close to it's not always just about demons and attacks these are the systems of the kingdom i heard a story that miles munro gave one of his deacons who became a very strong man in church this man was always beating and frustrating his wife and then he would run to church or i think he was the other way around the man hated god and all of that he would beat the wife the wife was in church and the man hated church and hated pastors and one day he reached out to her and he said what's the problem and she said my husband hates church he hates pastors he hates everybody and he said why he said because i don't have time for him and everything is church and mass mural looked at her and wrote a note he said go back home i said sorry sir you are driving me from church he said go back home go and tell your husband that your pastor sent you back home to come and take care of him now listen so he went back she went back home and told the man and the man said what did you say your pastor sent you to come back and attend to me he first kept quiet you know how men are they won't talk about their thinking after a few days now called and said okay who did you say that your pastor is and then she followed him to the church and sat at the back and dr munro came and greeted him and said thank you sir and said wow eventually caught the long story short he became a deacon in that church because he said i wanted a pastor who could teach a woman not to neglect her responsibility in the name of spirituality and now i found one now that man at that point was a burden bearer he was willing to lose his membership to make sure a man's home is restored can you go that far can your ego go that far can you sacrifice that much there are times in your life that you will have to help even undeserving people because you are just being a burden bearer it may not happen always but one day you just have to close your eyes to say if i depend on your being responsible your wife will die of hunger so for the sake of your children even though you are not willing to hear still take has god spoken to anybody here today who are going to pray strengthen my

in this church whether it is the power of the grave whether it is the power of foundations please lift your voice in one minute and cry to the god of heaven in the name of jesus we contend with forces by the power of the holy spirit that every force that wants to reduce every noble man in this church to become an object of shame to become weak and mediocre we stand in the name of jesus with the

hallelujah hallelujah final prayer point and then we're done you're going to pray lord show me my geography of influence listen there is nothing more disastrous [Music] than escorting people in the journey of life and not knowing where you are standing the bible says a lot went with abraham lord did not have any personal program for his own life when lord left abraham we the next time we hear about him he's in sodom about to die the bible says without vision the people perish first to the men that includes a young man and then every other person listen your prosperity and your relevance is not everywhere you must know the geography it's a law i come in the volume of the book there are some of you who right now are in career but your place of relevance is in politics and government you will never find fulfillment that cry you will keep having dreams of yourself in government and there will be no rest listen please hear me do you know that you don't succeed for yourself the only gift you can give yourself is fulfillment fulfillment is your personal gift to yourself fulfillment is the satisfaction derived from knowing that you have spent your life effectively serving the purposes of the kingdom and being a blessing to humanity it is the only gift you can give yourself because for many of us we are wasting time swinging like a pendulum from one geography to another searching for relevance we are going to pray lord i believe that there is a definition for some of us god is going to say start a company start an ngo raise people he will commit to you certain things for some of you god is going to say politics do not allow decadence to happen on that mountain for some of you is the area of education god is going to say mentor and raise people please lift your voice and pray show me your god show me your god [Music] hallelujah hallelujah please my sincere apologies the lord just put it in my heart to just one prayer one prayer request that i think it may not have been good justice if we don't say that my life changed i'm a young man but my life changed sir when i watched the obituary of a man many years ago and in five minutes that man's life was compressed in an advert i don't know where they got the photo of him when he was small you know the photo of our parents that old one that you print in a dark room and then they showed him when he was maybe about a teenager then they showed him probably in his mid-twenties now married with the wife then they showed him maybe in his forties then maybe i think he died at maybe 80 something and then they showed him when he was now sick and then they showed him during the final hours everything was compressed in a slide and i watched a man's life of 80 something years in five minutes tears rolled out of my eyes that day and the spirit of god the scripture that came to me was all teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts onto wisdom it had such an impact in my life that in our school of ministry i designed a curriculum that deals with effective living under personal transformation because in all your doing if you do not live your life effectively there is a real problem that there are four stages in any man's life the first is the learning stage the first 25 years of your life it is expected that at that point in your life you should have gotten born again filled with the holy spirit and you should have started learning the principles of the kingdom that is the face of your life you can make mistakes and go scot-free the afternoon stage of your life is the next or the execution stage is the next 25 years of your life that is supposed to be the prime of your impact in most cases under normal circumstances then the third is the stage of legacy the next 25 years that is when you begin to build institutions around your convictions you write books that document your persuasions that is when you begin to turn back and mentor a generation out of your own story and your own pain and the last season is the last 25 years of your life it's called the season of rest doesn't mean death rest every one of us here whether you like it or not you're in one of these seasons and whether you are prepared or not time is passing last prayer point lord i want to live effectively i want to live effectively let me spend my remaining days effectively please lift your voice and pray lift your voice and pray lift your voice and pray [Music] lift your voice and pray [Music] hallelujah hallelujah before i go back to my seat i want to sincerely appreciate the uncle men's fellowship i do not take it for granted the time you have given and the trust to be able to bring god's word and i hope that this that we have communicated alongside that which our father has brought and many others that will come i trust that it will add to strengthening the men and the membership and even the leadership in this church it is my desire that god will continue to take everyone in this church and every uncommon from glory to glory in jesus name okay just please while standing i've just been giving um two three minutes um usually for those of you who follow my
