god i pray that you activate destinies in a strange way tonight in the name of jesus answer the questions that are in the hearts of your people release the anointings that they desire for the next level of their lives lord we thank you for people here who are sick oppressed who are here just trusting you for a touch some do not even know what the name of their issues are but i pray that they will receive a touch from god tonight in the name of jesus christ god bless you ecclesiastes 10 15 ecclesiastes chapter 10 verse 15. jesus we bless you [Applause] [Music] it's always a pleasure to bring god's word [Music] and every time the word of god comes it comes not just to challenge us but to change us if you are not changed by the word listen if the word of god cannot change you then nothing else can change you are we together because the word of god created the heavens and the earth praise the lord ecclesiastes 10 verse 15 read it slowly read it intelligently read it with understanding one to read ah no no no no slowly doesn't mean quietly one to read he never said the labor of the foolish warriors some of them would have found out why some escape body says the labor of the foolish the problem is not the label the problem is those who are laboring there is a condition the bible says the labor of the foolish does what where yet every one of them why because he nowhere not that's what makes him foolish because he does not know how to go to the city there is a way to go to the city there is a formula to go to the city listen please there is a system that can take a man from where he is to his place in destiny and the bible says the foolish and the wise do the same thing seemingly they are all laboring but then the bible says it wherein every one of them and this is why it wears them it says they do not know how if they say they do not know the name of the city they know what they want they know where they want to go to but the system the system to take them from where they are to where they need to be you know i've said it again and again that believers are not confused as to the outcome of their lives what they want we all know what we want or at least we have an idea the challenge usually is the understanding of what it will take to leave us from where we are to where we need to be and i pray that god will open our eyes in the name of jesus write this word down destiny write this word down destiny destiny the word destiny is a very interesting word there's almost no man of god who has not spoken about this word we love it so much we dream about it we discuss it but the bible says listen please that there is a path listen there is a path that seemed right but then it says the end thereof are the ways of death are we together now the word destiny simply means your [Music] predefined place of fulfillment write it down please i'll give you a few definitions quickly your predefined place of fulfillment predefined means that you do not guess in the lines of prophecy and in the loins of time there is a place are located for you please listen there is a place in destiny there is a place in prophecy are located for each and every one of us and your fulfillment and your relevance in life is tied to not only your discovery but your arrival you there is a condition there is a place where you must arrive to be able to find the joy and the fulfillment of living is called destiny the second definition of destiny is the place where your assignment finds full expression [Music] your destiny represents the place where your assignment your purpose on earth your reason for living [Music] your destiny represents a place where you can say experientially that i am living the reason for which i am born i am making impact number three i went ahead of myself the third definition of destiny is the place of notable and consistent impact the place of notable and consistent impact no longer the place of desire no longer the place of ambition [Music] that you have gotten to a place [Music] where your impact is notable your impact is significant [Music] the last definition of the word destiny destiny also represents [Music] a place where you have end the right to transform lives and to watch those lives transform others not just that you are transforming lives [Music] you are fulfilling destiny to the extent to which you have earned the right to transform lives and you have the privilege in your lifetime of watching those lives you have transformed transform others hallelujah dr miles monroe of blessed memory a man who has changed my life so much i honor him in life and in death he said this he said the greatest tragedy in life is not death the greatest tragedy in life is a life without a purpose a life without a meaning a life without a reason for living that you get up in the morning and there is no constructive definition as to what justifies your living there are so many people angry and frustrated in life listen please we attempt to cover the need for activating and fulfilling destiny with many things we try education and then you know after many years of laborious study we don't seem to make sense out of our sacrifice we try marriage and for many people is hell they are living in hell literally we try money we try several things in an attempt to get to that place but it doesn't seem to bring that fulfillment and satisfaction and many people in nigeria in their old age are full of regrets are full of pain anointed people inclusive so tonight i want to challenge us there's nothing that gives me joy as seeing an individual or a people listen please living a life of purpose and a life of meaning your need for the anointing is useless without an understanding of destiny your need for financial prosperity your need for a wife or a husband your need for children your need for influence is absolutely useless if you do not understand god's idea of destiny say there is a place for me in life i want you to shout it with conviction [Music] listen there is no man born of a woman i know you've heard it but listen to it with an anointing on it there is no man born of a woman regardless of the conditions that surrounded your breath dr mas muro said they may be illegitimate parents but there are not there may be illegitimate relationships but there are no illegitimate children the concept of an illegitimate child is just a socio-cultural term it does not exist there's no such thing as an illegitimate child are we together everybody that appears on this earth appears for a reason intentionally allowed to come nobody listen nobody has the power in himself to just fabricate a child and bring him in israel are we together now [Music] so every one of us seated here and those following and listening we have a place in life and destiny but so many people never get to discover it so many people never get to live in the reality in fact it is cheaper to not even discover it than to discover it and never actualize it in your lifetime [Music] you can justify your pain by saying i never had an opportunity to know but then it's painful when you know that this is the prophetic blueprint of my life and then you never get to live it are we together there is no one sent here on earth by mistake you just arrive and then you say lord why am i here and god says ah sorry let's check why is he here exactly no no no no we can choose to refuse to become the prophecy upon our lives we can reject god's program for our lives and create another program by ourselves but anyone who will find fulfillment especially in this end time there are men and women who must align to the purposes of the kingdom listen you are not here to create a program for yourself you are here to walk in a program that has been predestined are we together jeremiah chapter one from verse five he was speaking to a little boy called jeremiah revealing to him his prophetic destiny this was a little boy who was destined to be a prophet to speak the purposes of god over nations and here he was having an encounter with the lord and then he was receiving a download of the blueprint what he would leave for what he would die for and here's what he says before i form thee in the belly i knew thee and before thou came as forth out of the womb i sanctified thee and i did what or then be a prophet to the nations so on on jeremiah's day of birth jeremiah's mother would have held him and looked at him and said wow little child very helpless but in the launch of prophecy that was a prophet when you read further he begins to reveal the extent of his prophetic influence how that he was vested with the responsibility of not only speaking god's counsel to individuals but to kings to nations to nobles it was up to jeremiah to never fulfill that there was a man in the bible called elisha and the bible tells us that elisha was a farmer but in that farmer was a prophet a prophet who would do mighty things he would have died a farmer because he did not know the road to the city but something happened in his life may you find the road map to your destiny in the name of jesus christ let me tell you you see jealousy look up please jealousy resentment huh all of these criticism but biting a direct product of the confusion usually when we meet a stumbling block on our road to destiny and we are surrounded by all kinds of fakeness and confusion that idleness in our confusion will make us to turn and when you see another life working with a level of dexterity and accuracy it usually will create a reaction that reaction is what we call resentment that reaction is what we call criticism are we together now so it's not about saying stop criticizing people you have to be too busy in your idleness you there is nothing else to do but when you find something that occupies you the time span a match for you will look too short a sense of urgency will drive you like a madman [Applause] are we together now [Music] [Applause] everyone has a destiny in christ hebrews chapter 10 verse 7 jesus who was a portrait of our life the firstborn among the many brethren in the similitude of our life said they say law i come in the volume of the book it is written of me to do thy will oh god lord i come this is why i came when jesus showed up no confusion he understood exactly the blueprint of his life when he went to the temple in luke chapter four the bible says it was given to him the scroll of isis the prophecy that isaiah prophesied about him and then he began to read the spirit of the lord is upon me because this and that and that look at a little boy at age 12 he had discovered his assignment already was about at the temple [Applause] studying and preparing for a great destiny to an extent that he told his parents he said do you not know are you no longer um well not bible students but do you no longer go to the temple to hear the prophecy mary have you forgotten i thought you said the angel spoke to you why are you questioning my zeal to fulfill the reason for which i was born 33 and a half years and he made an impact with his life that for eternity we will never recover truly truly i believe in long life but sincerely speaking is not how long you live but how effective there is a way a man's one year can become someone else's lifetime and impact in one year can be so transgenerational jesus died at 33 and a half or a quarter years old but out of that 33 years only three years were used in active ministry [Applause] are we together no i come in the volume of the book as it is written of me tonight i want to share with us on the requirements for manifesting your destiny [Applause] that's not a topic it's just what i want to do now the requirements the cost dimension many of us are aware i'm not so much about the discovery as it is manifesting it i've done a teaching discovering your purpose you can get it and several other teachings along the um the lines of destiny but tonight the lord put it in my heart to teach us there is a system everybody said there is a system you are not going to walk to to your place of destiny just um by default nothing works in life until you walk it nothing moves in life until you move it right newton's first law of mechanics nothing will move until you move it you sit down the way you are nothing will change you will grow older the only thing that will change is your age you are celebrating 35 36 then you jump to 47 48 but your life is not moving do you know my concept of bad days i truly believe in celebrating birthdays but bad day is not just the fact that you were born in my opinion bad days should be celebrated only when purpose is discovered and is being lived you truly do not have a right you have a right to thank god for being born but you have no right to celebrate your baby what are you celebrating you should celebrate the reason for living if your life is so impactful you will not even be the one celebrating you would have blessed people too much they will be too grateful to leave you [Music] when you have to call everybody and remind them ah jimmy abba you mean you you are just remembering that it's my birthday it's a message read the writings on the wall your life is not notable enough there are people they prepare for their bad days one year as soon as they finish one they start what do i do for him for all that he has done in my life some of us harass people we have never invested in their lives two weeks to my bed they said just to let you know that is my bad day and you send a general book message again reminder and then out of those 200 people maybe only two or three it's a message it's not for you to be angry it's a sign that your life is not blessing anybody notably let me tell you no matter how dark and depraved people are when you bless their lives they become too grateful to not notice it is god speaking to us i want to share with you some strong requirements [Music] you must be determined to not just succeed but fulfill your destiny my concept of success is fulfilling your assignment not just moving forward not just getting married not just finishing school not just getting a job or a promotion or a raise all those things are periphery the truth is listen listen let me tell you if you do not find out god's goal for your life and you are not living it you are wasting your time and you are wasting the time of others amen are we together i'd like you to pray a prayer before we go into the details of the requirement and say lord any price for my destiny i receive grace to pray lift your voice if you are not ready you don't have to pray you won't go to hell but be sure that you are not going to rise any prize for my destiny grab a tableto satire lord i'm tired of living my life carelessly i'm growing older time is going there's nothing that is giving my life meaning as i listen to your word now lord if it will sting me let it sting me but my heart my mind my spirit is open let no price be too great oh god for my destiny let no price be too great for my destiny are you praying lord there is an anointing upon my life the nations must drink from there is no price that is too great make sure you are praying don't be careless tonight you are about to hear something that will change your life some of you change your lineage because of you through you you've been complaining about what has happened now god is giving you a choice to make a decision that probably your parents did not make lord let pain let pain not stand my way to greatness give me grace to conquer pain give me grace to conquer shame [Applause] that's right number one requirement to fulfilling your god-given destiny the first requirement is an encounter with jesus a genuine encounter with jesus not coming out for an altar call that's important but an encounter with jesus john 7 when you read john 7. john three i'm sorry verse seven actually it's three to seven john chapter three the encounter that nicodemus had with jesus now understand this the context of that scripture is very interesting because nicodemus was a teacher of the law nicodemus was a doctor he was a philosopher he was intelligent he was a graduate he was even employed nicodemus was not a small man he was a man of influence but every time together with his colleagues they kept insulting jesus castigating jesus but they were secret fears and frustration nicodemus got to a point where his life was not making sense and then he slipped in by night and came to jesus and then he says rabbi we know that thou art a man sent from god for no man can do these things except god be with him and then jesus said verily verily i say unto you right he said except ye be born again you shall not see the kingdom of god now he begins to talk how can i be born again will i enter into my mother's womb and then verse 5 he now says um you know very literally i say unto you except he be born of the water and of the spirit then you cannot enter the kingdom right then jesus now begins to speak and all of that and says the wind blowing where it listed verse seven that's what i'm really going to verse seven this is what he said ma fell not that i say unto you ye must be born again it didn't say ye me he didn't say he should being born again is not an advice being born again is a requirement writing jam is not an advice writing jump is a requirement having five credits no story is not an advice are we together is the necessary and sufficient condition to gain admission let me tell you life has requirements there is a cut-off point the starting point is born again it's amazing how many people want to walk with god but they don't want to be born again they want to be around church they want to be around the things of god they want to have christian names being born again is more than just confessing jesus being born again is prioritizing god that god becomes your obsession your priority and your motivation there's no hope of leaving him that's born again because he he explained it he said you must be born of two things the water and the spirit the water there represents the ministry of the world the cleansing power of the world an encounter with the holy ghost being born again is not just cheap talk where you just come and stand i believe in you you are pinching yourself and laughing it may be a starting point but i'm telling you being born again is much more than jesus becoming one of those important deities there is a herbalist at home there is jesus there is the charm it's just that he's the most important of all of them you are not born again please i'm saying this whether you are listening here and you are or you are following online if you have any other charm any other talisman any other material a point of reference point of of activating the realm of the spirit outside of christ and everything that is consistent with his character you are not born again very simple are we together you can't tell me you are born again and then under certain conditions you can receive something you know and many of us listen many of us young people you may be laughing at me but there's something they gave you from home they said look life this life is more than what you are seeing that is true you need help that is true but where the problem starts is what you are giving they pray for you and give you a bible and then they squeeze one charm that looks like an arrow they tell you to put it under your box you are not born again no sir see let me tell you anything that the lord jesus cannot bring in your life don't let anybody fool you that it will happen it may look like it's happening but you see because jesus said i am the door do you know what that means i am the legal access point to everything in the kingdom he never said i am the only one he said i am the door any other person can enter the house through windows but there is always a side effect you will not see it yet until the charm starts walking so the charm will give you money and take your fertility are you getting the point now that's not the discussion with the herbalist he himself does not know the side effect because he's practicing so you collect the charm you start building the house but then you find out that you cannot give birth again or you give back to 12 children and none of them become useful any other door listen there are many like this place now if we see you smuggling yourself through this window we know you are numb rubber you are a thief are we together there is a legitimate entrance don't tell me you are entering which way are you following jesus said i am the door i am the door don't tell me you are getting rich don't tell me you are getting blessed don't tell me you are increasing it matters to me whether you are following the door then i will know whether your success will have side effect on me let me tell you don't come close to anybody until you study the systems around his life and how he is doing what he is doing how she is doing what she is doing are we together now [Music] an encounter with jesus when you encounter jesus you will not only love him you will follow him you will not only love him you will serve him you will not only love him you will live for him you will not only love him you will influence others into that encounter with him has nothing to do with ministry has nothing to do with being a man of god it is the effect of an encounter when saul of tassels in the book of art had an encounter with the lord jesus christ it changed his life forever remember what's the name of that short man in the bible zacchaeus when zacchaeus had an encounter with jesus what happened it changed his life forever zacchaeus just calmed down i'm going to your house at once zacchaeus changed when he met the centurion it changed there were other people i believe that jesus met that were not recorded in the bible because you see the way they had a soft spot towards him one of them was joseph of arimathea i believe he was a great man and because he was caesar's friend you can liken it to being in the same political party so he would not be outspoken about jesus but secretly secretly he loved him have you had an encounter with jesus enough to fuel your life for a lifetime if the lifespan do you know is a terrible thing when people love god on campus or love god before marriage i have seen many people who used to love god on campus you see them today they are hardly born again somewhere campus fellowship president some health crusades have you seen some of our parents you see them drinking beer and he said daddy do something about it say look i held crusade in bini i held crusade in abuja i did three days drive you see them giving you what is supposed to be a good accolade and they say i've tried everything so don't even bring this issue off man of god you are just starting before you were born we serve god have you heard of ebenezer obey i was in his band have you heard of air so so also i i sang there [Music] they carry the pain of their frustration and make it look as though is serving god that brought that to them it's a terrible thing for someone to say i once was with god and now i've left him no sir he said ye who have continued with me not those who started ye who have continued with me lift your voice in one minute and say lord i'm with you forever i'm with you forever i'm with you forever lift your voice and pray i need you to secure your place because some of us are already one leg in one leg out the pain of recession is about sweeping you ah jesus jesus how do i trust you how i prove that you're and lord jesus jesus precious jesus oh for grace to trust lift your voice and say lord what shall separate me from your love not famine not cgpa not recession i am with you and i am with you forever whether things work well or not whether ministry works well or not is a decision i have made lift your voice and pray shall any other person can make his decision any other person can say anything lord i know that i may be angry if i don't succeed but leaving you is not part of the equation is a salt covenant is a fraternity with you in life and in death [Music] i pledge allegiance to the land with all my strength with all i am i is [Music] is i [Music] is let me tell you the effect of an encounter you will raise your children after your encounter don't tell me you are a christian father are you hearing what i'm saying and you give back to a child and then you don't care what the child is watching you don't care whether the child is going to church are we together many little children that's why i love our little ones in calinonia you may think they are not understanding what you are teaching what is entering their spirit [Music] we live in a society where parents they just the assignment is just to give back to children they give them education they give them every other thing about jesus [Music] are we together yeah you're going to church you leave the baby with a house help are we together you come back from church and you sit down other adults are watching certain things that may not be good for the child you don't care let me tell you if you have an encounter with jesus everything you do whoever is under your roof will do it oh come on you stay under my roof as i'm blasting tongs i want to hear your own in your room like koto bakaya in your room you are responding you you don't stay under my roof i'm paying for your life and you are living your life then it means you're an adult enough if you stay under my roof you will serve jesus i assure you please take what i'm saying seriously our society is depraved today because many parents went to church but they did not have encounter so they only gave us what was valuable to them which was education as good as it is they didn't give us jesus some of us were on our way to destruction but god intercepted ah hallelujah [Music] you've heard me say it again and again when a lady brings a gentle man a lady brings a gentleman to her parents they don't ask whether he's born again and serious with god let me tell you in one minute i can know whether you are born again or not even if you wear suit this is a culture this is a culture are we together so we give our daughters to foolish men who are anti-kingdom we give our sons to wicked women who are antichrist and we this this combination produces nonsense that's what is destroying our generation now what we are reaping is the carelessness of 30 years the carelessness of 40 years and if we do not correct it let me tell you the key is not insulting the government there must be a generation that is addicted and no nonsense about god imagine a man getting married with his wife two of them praying tongues no problem two of them love god no problem as you give back to your child before wicked men hold him you hold him as the father shakata back attire you are prophesying what are you doing i'm prophesying oh stop that thing are you joking that's how i married in the first place live back up to baratheon i called you blessed you came out from my loins i prophesy you will everything is born after it's kind i will not love god and give birth to an armed robber so you prophesy if i'm your father you should look like it [Music] i'm showing you what lack of an encounter has produced in our society to an extent to an extent that if you are godly they look at you as if something is wrong with your life you have to explain godliness something that should be institutionalized go outside of zarya and see a young lady if a young lady likes a guy do you know how she attracts him she starts singing bad and nonsense song thinking that's what he likes are you getting the point now so you sing all of the songs thinking that by singing that the guy will be attracted brother shout no way abba abba after reading proverbs 31 let this you two shout no way don't bring shell an npc and deceive anybody do you have an encounter with jesus listen don't just say i have an encounter with god god means anything do you have an encounter with jesus the son of the living god let me prove to you that a man has an encounter with jesus you are unashamed about submitting to his values if you have met jesus then you must be ready to submit to his values don't come and meet me with your philosophy your ideology you have not met jesus listen if you are hearing coinonia if you are truly under disgrace you should have submitted to our way of doing things so when you see somebody who is under disgrace you know at once the way you talk the things you do your passion for god you can easily know someone who just came to colonia for the first time sometimes people come to share testimonies here and once in a while they can be a bit unruly or a big vulgar and i see the reaction in people it's like no no no this is anti-coinonia culture i can see it in you so why will you go out with somebody who just told you he's born again [Music] born again is like an id card you can see it is feasible [Music] okay this this thing this thing is i'm speaking from my spirit some relationships should be canceled we cancel it in jesus name i'm not asking you you will see what will happen from the prophecy because some of you are insisting i cancel it in the name of jesus christ destroy your life in the name of love love is not stupidity are we together if you have had an encounter with jesus you must have the value system of kingdom somebody comes to your house everything he's saying is nonsense every wrong word do you know there are words you don't even have to be born again societally speaking when you are getting to certain political positions they culture you when you when you are going to see the queen of england or they culture you you learn how to speak there are indices that show you have encountered god number one is your words not just dressing your words you speak nonsense you say anything anytime you ever come on please please all kinds of selection in your phone there is the one for when you are high you just take it high then whenever you feel guilty when you listen to messages on rapture the coming of christ you just switch truly you have not encountered jesus don't laugh as i'm telling you this because it's a serious thing you are not going to bribe god into fulfilling destiny it has to be his way everybody is an encounter with jesus now lift your voice and pray and say lord anything trying to prove in my life that i have not had an encounter drive it drive it far drive it far drive it far some of you need to make some calls to certain people call that gentleman and tell him i love you but apostle just preach a message i can't marry you it can't work again sorry about the time i've wasted it can't walk again it's as simple as that some of us were about to get married some of us who have children it's time to get back bring the cross to your house bring christian values to your house don't live a life that is vulgar don't raise children that are wayward in discipline no sir no sir hallelujah listen listen you see these are the things that should be discussed in church i'm telling you this are we together yeah how many elders are not born again we just i read the names of people when did this one join our church 1991 when did this one join our church 98 if we give this person and don't give he'll be angry well let's give him something are you seeing that and then you now pick somebody just because he's old he's the elder in charge of marriage counselling you have never supervised what is teaching the young people and they come around and is teaching nonsense do you think all this idea of beating wife do you think people just invented it someone advised somebody and say i did it it worked do it it works [Music] let's return jesus to our lives so let's return jesus to our lives you know what i'm saying is not a lie give me you everything else can wait [Music] give me you i hope lord give me hallelujah praise the lord so please if you are here today at the end of the service i'll make an altar call please i want you to examine your concept of born again if you have not submitted to the values of the kingdom you need jesus please let's not argue this thing this night you need jesus i don't care whether you are praying in tongues no sir are we together then your life then your home if my shirt has palm oil you spill pam oil and you come with a white shirt and hug me and i hold you there if you leave once you see something something up show me what implicates you and shows us you have met jesus don't just say you met jesus the bible says in the book of acts in the jerusalem council when they saw peter they saw these guys they knew they were timid but they knew they had been with jesus they saw them when they were timid but now they had seen their men of conviction let's sit down continue an encounter with jesus number one number two now that we have cleared the way i want us to sit down and talk now because this second point that i want to bring is really where the anointing is this night so what you have even received now is an appetizer here comes the main course may you eat it every part of it in jesus name the second key the second key to fulfilling your destiny the second key to fulfilling your god-given destiny is the power of preparation and thoroughness write it down the power of preparation and thoroughness preparation thoroughness preparation thoroughness [Music] the power of preparation [Music] the power of thoroughness second chronicles 27 please verse six second chronicles 27 verse six [Music] second chronicles 27 i like us to read it is projected want to read so dotan became aha because he prepared his ways before the lord what was the secret of his exploits what was the secret of his might he prepared his way and he did that in the presence of god under his supervision preparation there is power in preparation write it down there is power in preparation we live in a time and a generation especially for we young people there is such an obsession for manifestation such an obsession for manifestation oh let me prove i'm a millionaire by age 20 let me prove on this and that let me prove there's nothing wrong with those things but preparation preparation there is such an appetite of bringing our future into our today to prove a point and we destroy ourselves because we lack that ingredient of preparation what do you do during preparation number one what do you do during preparation number one you learn and understand the principles of the kingdom i call them the mysteries of the kingdom that's what you do during times of preparation your times of preparation are largely times of learning and understanding the principles and the mysteries of the kingdom god has called me into an extraordinary ministry god has told me i have an apostolic or a prophetic ministry god has told me i'm going to the nations every time in my dream i see myself changing people thank you man of god but what are you doing about it oh i'm already buying suits i have god has even shown me who my wife will be that's not preparation you are that's carelessness i assure you you will not arrive that way preparation this great ministry that god has given me what will it take what do i know do i understand administration do i understand finances this great ministry will be full by the warden by the anointing have i understood the mysteries listen i want you to put your life on a project find out all the tools you will be using in the place of destiny and begin to source for them find out there are many tools we need you need the anointing in the place of destiny have you discovered how to bring it and keep it in your life and multiply it in your life number two you need access to revelation the working knowledge of the word of god what keys do you have in your hand show me the keys you are accessing and i'll see whether you'll get to your tomorrow finances our destinies are capital intensive so they require a lot of finances show me what mentorship show me what book you are reading oh apostle i'm doing business you will fail that's not the key the key is to receive knowledge the key is to change your mindset not to offer products and services yet that's the last step of the equation we love manifestation we love manifestation i receive text messages all the time and most of what people we cry we like programs we like events conferences conventions someone sent me a text that he had a vision that we are holding six conventions in colonia every year as i shift that vision to the future it's certainly not happening now now convention for what what is the meaning of the word convention what is the meaning of the word conference we abuse these things because we do rituals without revelation are we together now now is the time for building please hear me now is not the time for buying suits now is the time for buying books now is the time for buying the experiences of people now is the time for buying the pain of people by their experiences preparation i see many people who say they want to be men of god i don't criticize them but i'm just laughing because most people think all there is to ministry is to have the ability to throw somebody down you are joking if it was that easy i guarantee you people will not be suffering ben hinn came around nigeria and you see the number of desperate people we all flocked in waiting to receive an anointing what does that tell you is cars genuine power is cast make no mistakes about it do you know why many people do not rise we are comfortable with average average will only bring you in the sin but never distinguish you reward is for those who are distinguished not those who are present [Music] is god speaking to someone there is power in preparation let me tell you when i started out in ministry i didn't do many of the things many people are doing in life no no that time asked me i used to walk with a bag remember my black bag it had bible it had my books books the speakings of god to my life i would always walk with it those were the times you see people who buy tape or here they go steve maybe pass the crease any other tip and they are small rechargeable they will raise all their money and buy rechargeable not not many of us seated here you do not have any device for hearing the word of god you don't but you have clothes you are a young lady of 19 20 you have clothes of a married woman of 35. [Music] it's not wise it's a terrible it's an extended version of foolishness are we together you you must take your destiny serious this thing does not happen by magic god is not a charm he's not a genie you've got to be serious some of us as you keep your bible like this it's friday that you pick it again and yet you move around i am i i hope to be called let's see which one have prophet apostle i'll use pastor you are dreaming are we together [Music] one gentleman sent me a text during miracle service that he was coming i said who are you he says a man of god somewhere that's all right you are welcome then he sent me a text says informing me so that they'll put a special reservation for him in front i said my brother this front seat you see is a testimony the front seat is not a wish it's a testimony this is a testimony you you come and sit down the seat will reject you have you seen that kind of thing where people kings come and sit down they say somebody dies you don't sit down and sit unprepared sir now [Music] preparation i look at your prayer life and i know whether you are preparing you want to be able to stand and preach that's what kills a lot of men of god they have not put that spiritual capacity don't you know that praying in tongues is like doing business you are making an investment of strength into your future a time will come you will not have the time to do 10 hours every day again i can't pray for 10 hours every day i'll be an irresponsible man of god because there are things to do but there were times i would stay morning till night i was building strength he said eat for the journey is far brothers and sisters some of you now is the time to lock yourself you may look stupid but you are building an extraordinary ministry you're already in prayer about two weeks you say they don't know me please sit down and work on your destiny all these quests for recognition recognition i think they should know me no sit down sit down there is power in preparation let your competence announce you let the grace upon your life announce you you cannot light a lamp and put it under a pusher but you also cannot put a lamp that is not lit on top all this quest for manifestation please hear the voice of the lord tonight that's not the way to do it that's not the way to do it someone asked me a question i think i don't know if it was a year or two ago and said apostle what are you doing with your life now i told him i said i am preparing for an extraordinary life is it preparing i said exactly you think this thing i'm doing is ministry this is industrial attachment my goodness my goodness my goodness this is not close to what i've seen in the visions of the lord it doesn't look like it compared to the colonial god showed me this is a cave we're just waking up are you that inspired or have you started clapping for yourself and you want to build a camp around it [Music] affect my life breathe on me i look to you for life affect my life breathe on me affect my life [Music] let me come to your house and your room show me your library and i see how serious you are with knowledge books are very important they are a communication of your value for knowledge when you buy a book you are not buying paper you are buying a man's pain you are you are you are buying access to a man's testimony people's mistakes are the platter of gold for you to study and understand there are many people who don't read let me tell you how you know you are not preparing for your destiny is excessive idleness when i see a young man who is idle you must be lazy or you are not preparing do you know the urgency number one for most of us over 95 percent of us a mistake has already been made in our foundation i hope you know some of us got born again at 26 27 you are already behind at age 14 mary was giving back to jesus you are 25 you are not born again you are already behind she do why should you be roaming up and down in broad daylight you move around and you see people just taking sugar cane gisting and then they come to someone else's house how are you i was just trolling are you free and then they are offended when you say you are not free everybody say i'm going somewhere say it i'm going somewhere and now is the season of preparation i will prepare you want to be a millionaire let me see the preparation [Applause] let me see the preparation show me the character traits you are building that will qualify god to grant you access to such wealth you want to be an extraordinary leader show me those you are receiving mentorship you are moving around not doing anything ladies hear me [Music] don't be under pressure the next thing in your life after school is not just marriage thank god for marriage but build yourself focus on preparation and manifestation you are not qualified to receive anything you are not prepared for [Music] preparation preparation settle down prepare lord you said you are going to give me the nations work on my character let me become an exceptional man of god lord at this small level of ministry they are already criticizing me i can imagine the criticisms of great men like papa oh yeah they go and adeboye lord viewed me you have already told me that my ministry will have branches all over the nations of the earth can i survive the criticism that takes that that having that kind of anointing will bring don't you know it is risky to be rich do you know the criticisms somebody will look at you and say young people like this today or they touch something you are right you are right nobody becomes rejoiced by doing nothing [Music] they've criticized you small somebody just looked and said i don't like pastor femi's and he's hungry he's currently saying no no what is wrong with my shed ah and then you now want to be a leader over two million people you want to die ask moses is the meekest man on earth he was angry and about to kill himself god said calm down that's how ministry is have you ever gone to god for prayer and god said no that's how it is so i hope you know that that there is no breakthrough for this prayer is how it works hallelujah i have a very interesting friend who wanted to organize crusade one time the guy was passionate about souls he was not passionate about finances so he wanted to organize crusade i after the prayer fasting visions everything he did will start because there was nothing to start with he couldn't even start i told him i said well these are the logistics that are part of ministry and he was so disappointed and angry because in his mind i was the sponsor of that crusade i said no way god did not give me any vision i am not the rhyme and escape what you heard from god flock out your way of funding that vision brothers and sisters preparation is powerful when you go through you read books and you see how a man of god will tell you 12 years in his life nothing worked and then you say that i'm four years that means there's hope for me that means it's not unusual it's not like i don't have faith let's continue going you study about a man who built his conglomerate he will tell you he built 20 companies on the field he was the 21st one that is the one that is blessing you and he said just build three on the field ah there's hope for me you are learning preparation is giving you strength a time will come they look at you and they say you claim to be a man of god's wife look at your husband his mouth is looking dry you are not feeding him our husband am i not feeding you you didn't prepare because if you prepared you would have studied other men of god's wife and they would have told you this thing is normal so as they are insulting you you just say oh so that's how it is your spirit has been prepared anything you cannot take now is because you are not preparing you will see a man of god lying down and think the place is cold you lie down there and the heat will burn you because your skin you know what they used to do for masculinity they said they used to cook them so that nothing will happen allow preparation cooking so that while somebody's shouting now say do you know apostle is a herbalist do you i know the woman that gave him power and then you come and tell me i say as a concern i say apostle i respect you there's pointing on you and then i laugh i would have cried in 2006 or seven but now oh come on prophesy to yourself say myself grow up say it myself grow up there are many needless struggles we are going through because we are not prepared you are not the first to be criticized are we together you are not the first to go through challenges you are not the first to go through disappointment it's only because you have not studied others who had worse cases so you don't have a basis for comfort god is speaking to someone tonight preparation [Music] some of us are confused where we are now you don't know whether to start a church you don't know whether to start a prayer group you are not the first to start ministry go and examine the top 20 ministries how did they start there was a date was in their mind did they start a church service bishop police did not want to start a church because at that time there were already too many churches based on him so your confusion about should i start a branch fellowship is because of your level and your thinking you are not the first to think like that when you learn that you will appreciate mentorship because you bring your mountain and somebody just walks on it and says i see this mountain i remember 1981. go and read the book there is there is a solution for that mountain oh man of god our ministry is about to be thrown out now we are owing 30 million i said just 30 million complaining in 91 we're owing 500 million and then you now sit down you are hearing a man talking to you and he says look let me tell you what to do pray give a seed and go to bed nothing is as bad as it is and then you conquer that i remember when one time um we held a little program and i was going 30 000. 30 000. i was sweating i didn't know what to do in my life 30 000. it was from one book money somebody loaned us it was so terrible i remember the day it was even late dr bimbo ducoya's books when they brought her to zaria 2005. after organizing the program now very nicely he's present in worship [Music] are we together now there was no i mean the whole thing and they needed the money by nine o'clock nine o'clock by seven o'clock i don't i'm not sure i had up to 500 i was sweating around i didn't know what to do so now you are only 8 000 and you are moving around my blood i think i'm having high blood pressure calm down calm down there is something preparation will teach you that you stand up and walk god is speaking to someone it is comforting to see those who have gone through what you are going through times ten find out what they did to come out preparation and dothan became mighty unmovable let me tell you i have studied the life of men in ways you cannot imagine studying their life felt great comfort in me many of them were 10 times as ignorant as i am now yet they were able to go through some things and i said no at this level i even know more there's no reason why i should feed yet it will work to work you are not the first to get married you are planning for marriage and you just say my budget is 1.5 yeah doctor general 1.5 you are seeing a man with two children you will not ask questions sir two children means you marry what happened what did you do you know see his pride to think your problem is new to everybody is pride what is a mountain to you is a valley to someone you are not the first to have carry over hey will i still will they drive me please go to bed there are people who have taught this lad you are seeing left right and center to a point that they just look at the board and say glory be to godot fear is as a result of ignorance and it's partly a product of not preparing you have ignored the pain and the sacrifice of others somebody's pain you have ignored is why you are afraid today because if you buy their materials and study their lives you will learn their pain coinonia was not built in a day many of you have never cared to ask the story behind it because you don't care all you know is that you are enjoying there will be workers dinner and it's free paid for just dress well and come and say i like like a ministry that takes care of us like this there was a story there was a story behind it preparation you learn the principles of the kingdom preparation that's the time of trial and error please hear me that's the time when you are you are learning to handle the keys of the kingdom like a baby trying to hold a key and open a door you will use wrong keys you will use wrong keys it's in the place of preparation you will know how the anointing works so god will keep pushing you you will read the books you will listen to the messages then one day you and god will go on small i.t somebody will now say please pastor femi can you just pray for our little group i say me i mean you even call him a pastor and then on that day you will pray some things will happen others will not happen you will first go with confidence you are faster dry it's even dry you went for the meeting and then you go there before you start preaching somebody is already shouting and you're like that means this is easy then every other person you lay hands on now doesn't fall i said what's the confusion i deliance on anybody somebody was shouting the ones are now in direct contact with the anointing so preparation you now go back in one message you are hearing you will hear a mystery that explains that operation ah this is what i did wrong you have learned you are learning you are learning are we together you are learning about finances god told you you'll be a multi-millionaire ceo all that you've held women abroad in your entire life is hundred thousand and you are walking one day god will give you i.t somebody will just send you 400 000 and say please can you keep it for me for two weeks and you find out your body is shaking you can't sleep you will get up you are moving up and down should i touch this money and pay back quickly you see a revelation that you are not qualified you are beginning to see the effect of money then you learn from that preparation that money is a spirit it's not just notes it can do something to you and you are now thinking 200 000 is in my account and i cannot sleep what will happen if 200 million is in my account then you begin to respect every man who you see sitting down he's a millionaire but he's drinking a bottle of water he took discipline to conquer that what are you what are you ignoring by refusing preparation is god speaking to someone you are preparing you want to be a good wife in the process of preparation you will read a book and see that a man of god's wife she will now say god told me when god told me my husband did not yet know and god was sending me to women to go and cook with them and you say ah the holy spirit will tell you now one do likewise you will now say ah auntie shadee please can i come to your house just to help you and while you are washing place you are asking her questions and she's answering what happens when a great man is angry as a good wife how do you treat if your husband is a public figure how do you shield him you are not learning you are only saying this brother god has been speaking you are not seeing me you will never see you because god is not a wicked god to carry his servant liberty and just give you no you prepare you prepare say amen stop claiming things carelessly sit down and prepare and before you know it you'll see them in your hands i respect people who are mighty yet understand the power of preparation there are people you see in this calendar mighty men and women in the spirit very mighty you just see them quiet some of them have had one-on-one encounter with them they are prayer life fire they are world-like fire the maturity and wisdom upon their life is uncommon nobody even knows them they're quiet god is preparing them one day you just see god who carry one brother and give them where is this one coming from are you joking nobody comes from nowhere people are preparing quietly you are the only one standing where peop prepared people are standing but you are not prepared i receive grace to prepare lift your voice and pray i receive grace lord i see how i've been shot changing myself i've been acting like i've arrived i've been trying to look rich i've been trying to look anointed by this teaching tonight oh god i received grace grace called on your prayer i stop complaining about what is not working i value the pain of those who have gone ahead of me and i make up my mind to draw from them hallelujah praise the lord a pastor sent me a text and the pastor was really complaining he said man of god god is increasing us in ministry but right now i just discovered every other thing in my life has died my prayer life has died my what life has died i still see miracles i see see great things but i'm so disorganized i used to be an organized person and i told him i said you are still using the mindset you were using when you were starting ministry are we together do you know what it means for a very busy person to still maintain his prayer life there is a technique it's not just as the spirit leads there is a system how do you maintain a prayer life reading chapters of the bible went from morning till night you are walking how do you balance that as an influential person you are married with two three children how do you maintain your spiritual life how do you maintain a good fatherhood and you're a good husband you are not the first to go through it find out there are people who are flawlessly effective find out there are men of god who preach five six messages every week and everything is new you want you are already tired your little fellowship in one state somewhere maybe just two or three branches and it's already killing you yet people like dr paul andersen running six services every sunday two services every week intermittently they can travel to europe and come back in the morning find out there is a system there is a system otherwise it will kill you john gillig did not understand that he did well in ministry and died in his family life what is the secret of men of god who are effective in family their schedules are packed full everything i remember when we started i didn't know that there was a protocol department that handled ministrations and made things easy i used to handle them by myself you bring your letter you come and give me i look at it i say okay let me go and pray about it at a point there were several letters i said yes to many people i'll say yes i'm coming to your church yes i'm coming to your fellowship i will not even remember i found out that i had to prepare four or five messages in a week it was weighing me down i said it's not like i don't have what to say but i can't stand before god's people and preach what i know god is not leading me to say i can preach any nice salmon but will it be effective [Music] are we together what do you not know i'm drawing you to a point your pain today is because you have ignored preparation somewhere then i began to study i got bishop with the ghostbusters towards excellence in life and ministry i got that what that hayward meals book church administration and management i got some yeah just pastoring without tears i got some of these materials and sat down when i began to study i said ah so this is how it works i've been killing myself for no reason are we together killing myself for no reason i remember when i had to be under pressure to answer everybody's call it was like i'm a receptionist somebody will call and say is this apostle i just want to know and for five minutes you are arguing with the person is this apostle if it's not apostle please don't waste my time and it's my credit to i'm now calling isaiah is a positive apostle please do you have time because what i'm about to tell you is is boiling in my spirit and now now carrying my beginners yes i have time and for 30 minutes while you are talking another text is entering another call and i find out that sometimes you can stay three hours you are just answering call and you are out you are fatigued someone who finished his work he will walk well have a nice time with his wife go to church and come back then call you that's when you now want to rest then others started calling by one or two because they found out that i don't sleep in the night they will not call and suppose to sorry you they just go ahead i used to feel so guilty if i'm sleeping and my phone is ringing i feel so bad until i read the man of god's book that delivered me now it can ring if it's an emergency call the police [Applause] yeah all the police people would threaten me and say man of god pride pride you've not gotten anywhere you used to respond to us before you even used to send us a recharge card but now you are getting arrogant i will feel so bad i'll say but god please search my heart until i found out that that's how people are it's not like they are just becoming it for me they are like that everywhere i just said ah please go to bed ah somebody is already gaining wisdom [Music] gaining wisdom so when you walk out of your house you see what she's wearing you say why does everybody hate me no you are not the only one it's like that you are just discovering it you are just discovering it i don't know why everybody talks about me everybody is there something wrong ah if if you are looking at your legs you will cut two of your legs because there are too many people who can talk ah god is giving us wisdom preparation preparation preparation there are some of us married people people come to your house you are under pressure to cook for them and give them everything because let them not say well no good let them say let them say [Music] [Applause] because you will find lousy people don't come to your side is there by person in this house you think they are joking they really mean it you would rush go to the market by cow you think it's just a joke you are not learning to grow up you need to listen to people who have learned to manage people like that two o'clock they'll come again and say sorry oh we are here again is there still something for us then you read a book that one determined young man one day walked up to them and said please visit her we have we have a program in this house there are times we have bible study there are times i'm just spending time with my wife there are times where spending time with the children it is important to let us know you are coming now what is there what do you think you are leave him let him go carry his trouble and go at least you are free now there is something you need to know to set you free most of this depression we're having is because there's something you don't know so you sit down there and think people are talking about you what will they be saying about me what would they say do well they will talk don't do well they will talk so be used to it and enjoy your life you see what preparation does for you so you create a system of joy that is independent of the things around you and you become a motivated leader and everybody looks at you and says wow this guy is a leader worthy of emulation then your ministry increases because you have learned how to motivate people into excellence say amen [Music] [Applause] you have to learn the principles of the kingdom very quickly there are four areas still under the second point there are four areas that you must work on four areas that you must work on number one you must contend for a comprehension of the mysteries of the kingdom generally as regards understanding the word of god and applying it understanding the word of god and applying it you must contend for that mystery you must know how to apply scripture to your life if you want to be great use your times of preparation to learn how to make the word of god work number two you must contend for the secret to the anointing in your place of preparation you must find out you cannot it has nothing to do with ministry you want to be great in life without knowing how the anointing comes you are joking so in your place of preparation you have to find out this anointing that has been responsible for the greatness of many how does it come number three [Music] you must find out principles of leadership and administration i know you are a man of god but you are going to have leaders i know you are a businessman but it will not always be popcorn forever a day will come you have companies with offices you must understand principles of leadership and administration number three you must understand finances you must in your place of preparation you must study finances no matter how much of a man of god you are a businessman a father you must this is a tool i'm mentioning for you the tools that you will use to fulfill destiny you need it study on finances don't just be a money monger don't just be a hustler don't just be obsessed about money and business understand the system understand how this thing works understand the challenges the vicissitudes that surround it [Applause] are we together number four the last thing you must understand is people and relationships people and relationships brothers and sisters if you don't understand people and relationships you will die like a chicken they asked bishop we had a couple years ago they said what's the greatest source of challenge and pain in your life he said people they said what's the greatest motivation in your life is that people do you know the reason for many discouragement is people what they have said the reason for your encouragement the same people you must understand people get my message understanding people mastering relationships and then the prophetic implication of association you have to learn that i got a book years ago that changed my life how to win friends and influence people by dale kennedy right it blessed me it opened my eyes through the psychology of human relationships it helped me understand people thoroughly to know how to relate with different kinds of people you need this in your life [Music] otherwise you will get a job and after two weeks you are angry with everybody because you will meet sarcastic people even as a man of god you are going to meet people in your church people who are very disloyal to you you need to learn what to do with them you are going to meet people who are very anointed but rebellious you are going to meet people who are very submissive but cheerless and less fair all these people you have to work with them you get a job you are going to work with lazy people you are going to work with very corny people people who are corny they will bribe and kill you if need be for promotion you've got to understand the ethics of working with people maintaining relationships [Music] number three the last point action the last key to opening up your prophetic destiny is action the power of action so number one is an encounter with jesus number two is the power of preparation number three is action the power of sustained action now by action i don't just mean movement action means the relevant steps that you take action takes courage write it down when you are about to take action over your life your business your ministry it takes courage to act brothers and sisters there are things you are going to be doing in your life you will be the first person to do it in your entire family it takes it takes courage [Music] joshua chapter one he said be strong and of good courage nobody has ever gone to school in your family you are the first to do it there is fear i was i was talking i can't remember who i was talking with now we're discussing the subject of here and i told him there are two dimensions of fear there is fear as a result of the presence of the spirit of fear there is fear as a result of stepping into the unknown you must distinguish them are we together now there is the fear as it is as the presence of a demon spirit you cast that one out god has not given us that spirit of fear but every time you are doing something new or something extraordinary that that ability to push through something that is new will bring fear is not unusual [Applause] there are many of us here who have gone through certain sustained seasons of preparation but action action are we together you are the first person in your house to get a job and for many months you have not submitted an application because you are used to everything being done free for you are we together you've not submitted any application and the lord is telling you stand up and go to benin and submit your application say ah god no no no no who is going to pay my money where am i going to stay you have to summon courage to get up and take bold steps in life are we together courage courage action requires persistence there are certain times your first step will be the wrong one but it doesn't mean you are wrong the step may be wrong but you are not wrong start the business start the church start the ministry [Music] [Applause] action requires courage action requires persistence there is an ugly ideology in the church that the moment people start things and fail people rally around them are you sure it's god and they destroy people's destinies how many great businesses would have stood bought for the advices from churches how many great destinies there are people who who left who left certain precious jobs that god gave them simply because of an advice if they are shouting at you like that is he worth it and then you leave it and now you are suffering [Music] are we together number three action requires a system now this is very important you don't just act carelessly you act based on a system you build a system you build a system around your action [Music] for instance when it's now time for you god has called you and god has anointed you and told you it's time you now sit down there is a system you can start a prayer group a prayer fellowship as god is bringing people they are getting healed they are getting blessed god is lifting you god is bringing people into your life most of the people god is bringing are not your members stop calling them your members and sons and daughters they are your leaders in the making are we together god never sends members he sends leaders they will come as drunkards they will come as troublemakers your assignment is to prove your apostleship make them become what you have seen in the vision they will not come ready made action you must build a system around it we had a system like that when he and i were starting we'll get people born again there was a system you got filled with the holy spirit and then we were praying and so when people got born again in one week they were already on fire [Music] a system around your business you may now say okay let me now build a system i separate business money from my personal finances maybe i open an account for business i need to be serious now not that any money that comes is for the eating you don't know which one is for your shop which one is for you so you eat everything and then you calculate and say somebody is stealing somewhere no no so i remember under a thousand enter why is there 60 000 you hate it it's your account system [Music] all the great empires in the world all the great destinies that you see the uncommon lives in ministry in politics in influence in any area of life were built this way this is the way people become great they have an encounter with jesus that encounter brings them to a submission to his values and the next thing they they plant themselves under a ministry or a platform or a spiritual family are you getting the progression now this so that when you get people born again you know what to do with them when people have an encounter with jesus the next assignment is to create a structure or plant them under the bible says they that be planted in the house of god they shall flourish in the courts of our god he said in all age they shall be fought and flourishing [Applause] hallelujah just like you are seated now now you are hearing this you are taking steps based on what i'm teaching you will go back now and because there is an anointing upon what i'm saying you will not ignore it as you go back it will bond like fire in your spirit you'll begin to make decisions that are consistent with it we together now and you begin to see your life rise you begin to see yourself improve then you can know that i'm going to be a good man not just because i think i'm good i have studied the system that makes men good then i know i'm going to be a blessed man not just because i hate poverty i've studied the system i know i'm going to be extra ordinarily anointed not just because i'm i want to generate myself no no no i've understood the system at that point you can look at life and smile it's called mastery you can rise to a point where you look at life and smile and know that i have a great destiny i have a great destiny and you look at your life after 20 30 years and it's nothing short of a life of glorious impact [Music] on eagle's wings a book written by bishop david reporting to celebrate the 30 years anniversary of living faith then or so i looked at everything the progression on how he started and i said this is it consistent i have studied many great men of god that's how they started benny hill dr mike mudok miles munro all the great men that represent great mentors and fathers in my life i look at their lives and i see consistently consistently there were times in their lives they west for many years it's like things did not happen even leaving faith with the kind of speed that it is experiencing now there was a time it was stagnated so you find out because at this point your ministry is not moving so you go back what did they do oh they fasted they prayed they met together as leaders they readjusted certain things fine papaya there was a time redeemed was doing well but it was stunted and god told him that redeemed needed to get to all the nations but as it were redeemed could not cross certain cultures it could not go beyond the south and he went to the lord and then the lord gave him a formula he gave him a secret let him know that when you are dealing with global leadership you must have respect for people's culture and ideology it's quite selfish to want people to completely bend to subscribe to your culture kingdom culture yes but your your sociological culture and paradigm it may not be possible with every place and so he opened up and painfully created that flexibility so you can see one redeem branch that looks like a contemporary church and all of that and then you see another redeem branch youthful another redeemed branch still you know holding on to certain values he just focused on the core values that represented the foundation of the ministry to preserve it but then gave the flexibility and now redeem this everywhere festival of life in uk it's a sieve i mean you see them everywhere there france everywhere redeemed because of that secret you can now look at that why is my church not growing ah and god opens your eyes through that light and you now see it oh the reason why my church is not growing is because um i i hold on to my values but probably i i impose every value both spiritual cultural sociological on people and that value is restraining people that may be just the key you need to adjust and then all of a sudden you find out that your ministry becomes a habitable place for people action action god is challenging some of us to take action you need to take action over your finances you need to take action there are different action steps you can take you can begin to read books every day you can listen to messages every day you

of the things you are seeing here the lives that are successfully ministry by god's grace you belong to a ministry that god has helped these are the things that we do they are not what we are saying they are things that we do he said that which you have seen me do among many witnesses do also do also be serious with your life i can count the number of times you will come to my place and find me sleeping sleeping snoring any time of the day i'm awake doing something there are summers to prepare there are videos to watch i am i am so passionate about eradicating my ignorance so passionate

to really pray if you are married please you can hold your wife or husband or whatever and pray because this is serious prayer we are going to pray now [Music] lift your voice and begin to pray in the spirit in one minute [Music] no i come in the volume of the book as it is written of me to do thy will no i come in the volume of the book hallelujah hallelujah prayer point number one lord i found i

and old man with my destiny i must fulfill destiny from tonight i declare and declare in the name of the lord jesus no more joking no more playing games with my life hallelujah please make sure you

life please reveal it to me lift your voice and pray the information i need access to light are you praying ministerial ignorance leadership ignorance take it away from my life spiritual ignorance i bring it to the cross and i declare declare that the supernatural grace to work it out to work it out to work it out prayer point number three prayer point number three oh god the spirit of laziness and inertia that spirit that refuses me from being diligent i cross it right now in jesus name open your mouth and pray i challenge laziness spiritual laziness mental laziness physical laziness wanting something for nothing a gospel spirit grace to be diligent grace to be familiar with grace to invest in myself two more prayer points further destroy premature the appetite for premature manifestation manifestation when i'm not ready destroy that appetite from my life lift your voice and pray pray premature manifestation in business premature manifestation in ministry premature manifestation in family life premature manifestation in leadership i receive grace i receive grace i receive grace to prepare like jordan i prepare my ways before the lord and so i want strong and mighty praise for preparation hallelujah [Music] hallelujah the last prayer point before i pray for you the courage the discipline and the diligence to take necessary action because some of you the season you are in now is the season of action you can prepare forever you've got to step that spirit of fear that lack of courage what will people say i'd like you to lift your voice and destroy it right now lift your voice and pray lord it's time to take action over my finances it's time to take action over family life it's time to take action in ministry the action that will move me over my career over my job it's time to take action hallelujah hallelujah please lift your hands let me pray for you i want to pray for you sincerely from my heart i want you to believe it god sees my heart to myself and god knows that my greatest desire listen my greatest desire i have always frowned at the leadership paradigm that makes one person a superstar shining while the rest are helplessly everybody can shine it will not kill the honor of the leader if you're a true leader even in the greatness of the people you have raised they will honor you and give you your place there are many leaders who are not passionate i made a vow with god when i started ministry when koinonia started i've shared it with you i will never pastor people who are not influential i believe you can be anointed you can be spirit filled you can be responsible you can be financially free you can be influential and useful in the kingdom you do not have to choose one area you can choose everything you don't have to choose prayer and the word and neglect responsibility you don't have to choose excellence and responsibility and neglect the ministry of the spirit all of them are supposed to be complementary so all these teachings that you see i bring them some of the teachings i had but they are designed to file our lives into action the bible says i don't sharpen it iron are we together now so as you receive this word don't sit down arguing it don't be offended by it if it strikes you the idea is to receive it into your spirit as the word from god and know that this is coming from a leader that is passionate about your success if i see you today excelling and doing great things for the kingdom is my fulfillment you give me money today i'm blessed but i mean what do i do with that one but if i see your life transformed you're a great man of god doing mighty things for the kingdom that's my source of joy my paradigm is not outshining people and having people struggling around and then one superstar called joshua salman my desire is to be the least even among everybody rising it still will not destroy my worth lift your hands in the name that is above all names i pray for you the grace that god supplied in my life that granted me the discipline to prepare i am still preparing but the discipline to have started that journey regardless of the challenges i pray for you may that grace come upon your life the spirit of in discipline and carelessness i declare that it lives your life this night and forever some of you the spirit of slumber and glutamine food and sleep that is robbing your destiny be free from it this night some of you inferiority complex the the pressure to look successful the pressure to belong is making you to do a lot of things you've done too many foolish things the change comes for you now some of us the pressure of association i want to become like my friends my contemporaries that that pressure to to fit in a group that is destroying you i command that pleasure to leave you right now for some of you the embarrassment to start again the embarrassment to start again after life has with you your business may have failed your ministry may have failed your career may have failed you and you applied for a job you tried to ask a lady out the the courage in the name of jesus i declare that grace for you again in the name of jesus christ i pray for you may you begin to access deeper levels of revelation may god lead you to the books may god lead you to the messages may god lead you to the conferences where your anointing and your wisdom is waiting for you in the name of jesus christ whatever you do not know now that is responsible for your fears responsible for your concerns i pray that the light of god's word will swallow it right now the grace to go back to your drawing board the unashamedness to carry those books you used to write it that you have thrown away those dreams you used to writing some of you had books god used to speak to you every night but just because of little results you threw them may you go back and get those books again [Applause] the culture listen the healthy spiritual culture you observe that brought you this far i release grace for you to continue it some of you the prayer life that brought you this far you have left it now the word study life the humility that brought you this fire you have left it the sense of honor for authority that brought you this fight you have left it please whatever you have left that you should not leave i command get back to it in the name of jesus i speak over your life what has not been done in your family the limitations that they have put and said this family cannot cross this i prophesy to you you are the one who will cross that barrier in the name of jesus and i speak finally to everyone here who is discouraged drop your hands down i'm speaking to you there are people here who are discouraged as an apostle i have tried things are not working as i'm standing right now i don't even know the name of what i'm doing with my life nothing is working finance is zero marriage zero school zero work zero nothing is working i feel as if i should just die i bring a word from the lord he said is there hope for a tree right even if it be cut off he said there is hope for it at the scent of water the water of the word of god that you are hearing tonight may hope come alive i release upon you the courage some of you have thrown the button i want you to take it back and say no i will make it i will make it like an olympic person who has been handed over the battle and now you left it the problem is if you leave it all the other people who gave it to you will also be failures because of you so you have to finish it grace to finish well in the name of jesus christ now very quickly before we round up please keep standing everybody no moving around there are people here you've heard the word that i've said please keep standing everybody there are people here you have heard the word of the lord and while i was teaching listen please the holy ghost began to speak to you and said apostle is talking about you you need to make your ways right with jesus two groups in one some of you have actually made a decision for jesus at one point in your life but there is complete spiritual on seriousness and lukewarmness based on my definition here you see that you are not born again you may have come to recite a prayer but sincerely you have not submitted to the values of the kingdom and then there are those who have never truly made a confession for jesus you've been around christian things but as you began to hear me teach the spirit of god told you this is it this is where i've been trying to lead you you're a great man you're a great woman this is where i've been trying to lead you i'm going to give you a few minutes our time is up and wherever you are there are many people outside i believe many people

at me that i'm leading you to make this decision does not mean i'm better than you in any way some of you are crying don't be ashamed of your tears it is a genuine decision that will begin your life
