then sharpens ion you know um that is that is how we grow together as children of god all right so before we go on this morning i'm just going to quickly give you a highlight of what we're doing in our bible study for today like i told you a few weeks ago where the theme of our bible study right now is working with god and today we're highlighting the attributes you should have as a child of god to work effectively with god you know working with god requires a daily commitment a choice to walk with him god is god is working and we need to follow him to do his will to know him better not that we want to do our thing and then ask god to come along he is he's the one that we want to work with and work on the journey that he has created for our past to work in a way that we then bring his kingdom down on earth and manifest his kingdom here on the earth you know so as individuals we should have this the various attributes to help us you know work effectively with god first of all we have to have faith you know you have to believe that god is and he's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him so he takes to he takes diligently seeking him diligently seeking his way obeying him not just you know coming to church not just you know being christians when we're when others are looking but actually manifesting the kingdom of god man effect manifesting the ways of god everywhere we are particularly when we're in the marketplace in our work you know we're turning our work into our worship we wherever we are where we're working whatever we do how we relate with people we're supposed to manifest the characteristics of god the person of god because we're made in his image and his likeness and we're so we're supposed to manifest that likeness wherever we go you know so we we need to have such attributes and we need to spend time with god spending time alone with god spending time to fellowship with him because that is how we then um imbibe his nature in spending time with him but beyond that beyond spending time creating having our time in the course of the day to spend time with god we also need to have a god consciousness every time so it's like talking about fasting and living a fasted life so you're you're spending time alone with god but actually carrying god's presence communicating with god every minute every second of your day so that everything you do is subject you know to um to the dictates of god to the directions of god so that is a brief summary of what we're talking about today i'll bring you more snippets when um we see next time so let's

of utterance has been opened unto me and i hear the voice of god clearly speaking to me this is the way to go work here in it i listen under the influence of the spirit of god and i'm not distracted by anything or anyone the word of god is full to my spirit i am strengthened by it this morning it is oil to my heart creating joy within me it is oil to my face causing my life to shine giving me victory in everything that i do as my eyes make contact with the scriptures used in this message the spirit of god opens new things to me he also brings to my remembrance things jesus once showed me i come to understand god's system on the earth and i receive instruction encouragement correction and enablement to leave out god's will amen all right um w to me that the timer is now on all right this morning i want to speak on what i will alter the last element when it comes to god this system of the kingdom of god that we have been teaching where the bible says the kingdom of god is as if a man will cast the seed into the ground and so you plant the seed into your heart about events that are going to evolve in your future things that are going to manifest in your future your plans at them i see it in it so your heart today the bible says guide your heart with all diligence for out of ear it comes the cause of your life or comes issues of your life out of it it's going to come out or from it it's going to come the events that will define who you are on this earth so if it's going to come out of your heart and that is like the earth that brings forth you are now at liberty for god has placed before your death and life he says choose life life is in the power of your tongue so it's where the words that you speak you chose to plant seeds of life on the inside of you jesus came i thought you might have that life and that you might have it in overflowing measure and so you can start planting those seats right on the inside of you is what we're saying and that your heart does not discriminate as to the type of seeds all right that gets into it regardless of the type of seeds the heart is going to produce what is planted on the inside of it all right whether those seeds are negative or those seeds are positive the earth is just going to produce it and so your should gather your heart garden that ground the bible says with all diligence from from eids are gonna calm the issues of your life and so when you plant them as seeds there you plant them in faith we say they share you get god's word when god what god's what gets into a person's heart it is not that they understand it intellectually it is not that they have they mentally ascend onto it it is not that they can intellectually explain it it is that the experience of the fulfillment of that word is established within them in other words if the word that says the love of jesus has been shed i brought your heart by the holy spirit and it says love is patience and kind it doesn't mean if it's in you it doesn't mean you're not the greek word for patient and kindness and you can explain it eloquently the experience of you exercising patient and showing forth kindness when you are under pressure has entered into your heart so when the promise that you partake of god's divine nature enters into you the experience the image of you experiencing it has entered on the inside you have that experience as a picture all right that is right before your inner eyes that you are looking at which means that from within the optic nerve sees the physical world the eyes of your heart beholds that picture it is with an open face you are beholden as in a mirror the glory of the lord so it's not an intellectual explanation it is an experience of what god is saying that has entered into your consciousness in other words you have experienced it within and every single day what you are doing is that you are beholding that experience every day you are meditating upon it every day and in addition to that you are now giving god thanks for what he has fulfilled in your own life with that deep feeling we've said of gratitude unto god you are thanking him for that experience acknowledging that you have received it out of his own hands that it's already operational in your life now i want to speak on efficient action that i want to talk about this morning all right which the bible says faith without works is dead in other words you have faith but there is really no all right what we'll call efficient or effective action and i know what i'm talking about here i'm not saying that you are trying to do things to cause that vision to come to pass because the truth about the matter is you don't even know what to do so let's leave that efficient action here all right we're talking about something in particular that christians need to understand and it's one of the missing puzzles there that makes everyone them all right where they operate in faith they confess they pray they give god thanks let's assume they do that but just miss it in this issue of works now if you are trying too hard on the outside uh to make your vision come to pass and you are working on the outside to try to make it happen you are probably getting yourself involved in god's business while you are neglecting your own business in other words god's business is to cause what was planted to grow you cannot make it grow you cannot make the blade come out you cannot cause your lines to fall into pleasant places you cannot put yourself in the right place at the right time and among the right you cannot bring those things about but what you can do is what you should do and what you shall do is to plant the seed into your heart which a farmer does a farmer doesn't know how that seed grows and doesn't concern himself with that because that's the miraculous element of gold but what he does is to put the seed into the ground so water that seed and so protect that seed such that it remains in the ground in other words the seed remains in your heart as you guard your heart so that that seed and when it remains in your heart it means you are paying attention to it you are inclining your ears onto the words of that seed and you are not allowing it to depart out of your eyes which means there is a constant heart interaction with that promise and the image of that experience on the inside of you that's what you are supposed to do and also to water it so make sure no animal that's what the farmer does no birds come and take the seed out of the ground nothing happens that takes that seed out of your heart where you are no longer when do you know the sin is gone you are no longer meditating on it because of certain things that happened on the outside the enthusiasm about it dropped you are no longer beholding that image you may have given up on it and the reason is you are trying to make it happen that's on your business you are to sit down and simply behold it it's the holy spirit that transforms you into the image your business is to look at it you do not have the power to change yourself you don't have the power to produce anything on the outside you simply have the power to behold number in doing that all right they are not working on where they should work which is their heart they are trying to walk on the outside to cause people to respond to them in a certain way and i'm going to get into manipulations and all those kinds of stuff so it's not christ plus my effort it is christ plus my receiving what you have to do is to receive it what god does is to produce what you have received many people have not received things they are even praying about it and in prayer is still their own work all right if you enter into the place of prayer you must enter in with a clear-cut image of that which you experience i mean somebody sent me a message all right and it was an emergency which i wasn't even in the contract with somebody okay send me the implementer and listen my child here is in hospital this is the condition and the condition was severe and when i say severe it's touch and go all right my brother my siblings are doctors my parents are doctors i have had that conversation i know when they struggle this was touch and go emergency brain surgery instantly on a child you can know what we're dealing with yeah so i called somebody to quickly go and go to him in doctors and leadership and went to see him in the husband said the neurosurgeon is his friend so he said pastor look let's pray i said listen to me that's what you've got to do before we pray change the image because the last picture you saw was on your bed change that image from without changing that image nothing is going to work because you can go in and you are praying and praying and expect the wrong thing to happen we saw that with peter now the whole church was praying with apostles and peter came to the door it's like we're all praying here and then the answer comes to the door and knocks and then we say somebody runs in and says from the teen's church and says i've seen the person's alive and we the adult said you are mad so that means we didn't expect it to happen why was the church in that condition because of james that died so when james died satan planted his seed into the consciousness of people so they now doubted that power game they were doing they were taken aback by it so i said change that image and this is what i want you to see number one see her graduating with a first class this is a young person see that picture i'm talking about 10 years 20 12 13 years see you walking out down the aisles getting married to somebody the effect of this thing not inside her body at all change he said pass i get away i say change that image spend two hours making sure the picture you have is not the picture of a sick child because you can't go into prayer with the wrong picture when you get in there and you are praying the bible says jesus was transfigured the word transfigured there is the same word changed the bible says he took three disciples and he went to the mount transfiguration that's what he called there and as he prayed he was changed now which means that he was changed into what was looking at when he was praying the spirit of god changes you as you are then travailing to what you are looking at that is why when you are interacting with god you must have seen the writing that's why jacob said when the animals come to meet where there is that intimacy the picture must be clear what they see during that time is what they produce so there are people faster than praying and sending this problem and they're holding on to the debts this problem god god what they are looking at is they're coming to catch me what they're looking at so i said change that now you are you cannot heal anybody but you can see the person healed do you get what i'm saying we are not doing our work we go and try and do god's work that's where anxiety comes you cannot heal anybody but you can see a person healed so mary said tell you upon that image there give him thanks don't start trying too hard there a fire can make a seed grow he lacks that ability but he can plant all right only god can make that seed grow so what you do is you keep it right in the ground that means every day regardless listen if something happens and you give up and you stop meditating on it it means that the fouls of the air have taken that thing out of your heart do you get what i'm saying he says whosoever looketh into the perfect law of liberty and continue with daring which means looking at it he is the doer of the work that is the work that god wants you to do do that all right okay and he'll be blessed that nothing he's doing so you'll stay there beholding and looking at it and then the next thing you want is it has got to be watered on the inside uh all right so many people are trying to do things on the outside you know and it's frustration and i'll show it right the bible says in hebrews chapter 4 verse 11 this is the work you should do they said what work must we do they ask jesus so that we can do the works of god he said believe because he knows to get to that point of believing his work it says hebrews 4 11 he says let us please why you are putting me when you're putting the scripture remove me from the background is this true right let us labor to enter into that rest that's all you have to do which means you enter into a place of rest now now it's just like when you plant a seed a seed when it enters into ground the seed enters rest nothing happens on the outside but the seed has gone in labor to enter interest lets anybody fall after the same example of unbelief so there are actions that come out of a place of unbelief or on persuadableness all right let us label to enter into that rest lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief okay so it's labeled to get yourself into that particular space now once you get it there and how do you do that you're constantly beholden you are constantly looking at meditating on it all right then you now want okay to get the seed water so yeah you go to god believing you have received that's what jesus said that he says whatever things you desire believe you have received it's not just that you desire it you're in order to pray effectively you must believe you have received what you desire so your god believing you have received it in prayer now what's that prayer gonna do rain starts falling you are seeking the face of god rain means intelligence that's coming from heaven because when the rain starts falling the thoughts and the ways of god are pouring forth into your heart information and intelligence a constant stream all right you start receiving that rain is falling there's a constant stream of information intelligence coming from gold now what you've got to do to get to that point daniel 9 and he was in the place of prayer and when the angel came the angel said i've come to give the skill and understanding concerning that vision that is inside your heart so what comes from here from there is skill what comes from heaven there is understanding as wisdom and insight so wisdom and insights that's coming from heaven now it's angels that bring this stuff and for you to have that release of angels into your life you've got to pray through in other words you have got to overcome in your prayer because you already believe you have received it god has already given you the stuff that's why you believe you have received it but the praying now all right is not to get god to make a decision yes so now receive the thoughts from god which means this insight or that you need okay right for the fulfillment of this particular thing you have received from him and in this type of prayer you overcome if you're worried the bible anywhere you have angelic operations prior to that the person has overcome some demonic spirits all right jesus the bible says after satan departed angels came to minister to him so you overcome something all right and pray and then you start having angelic and that's where you get to the place where people pray things through they stay there in the place of prayer they get a release in the place of prayer and then you now start having heightened angelic activity in the life of that person when there's heightened angelic activity it doesn't mean that you are going to start having dreams of seeing angelic beings all right or you are going to start you know saying fluffy beans and hanging on the ceilings and all of that that is not what the bible is talking about what the bible is talking about is what paul said he said be hospitable unto strangers for some have entertained angels unawares in other words people are going to start showing up around you under the influence of angelic beings it into your strategic insight or bring into your critical information all right that will nourish that thing that is inside you that dream that you have inside your heart you start getting information you start getting inside uh you might you know stumble on on a book uh you might i mean there are some books i have if there's a book i have now that i'm reading that i bought the book and they couldn't send the book to nigeria so i had sent somebody in england and then person now said you bought two okay maybe i bought because i was looking i i i stumbled on the person's name i mean i've never heard of him before but i stumbled on the name through somebody else that i was reading so i bought the book okay because he said he was the one who brought this concept to the body of christ in the in the 40s so i bought the book and so my friend told me i'd even forgotten he said two books have come these are names i i said ah that's true it's okay you can keep one since you try you can read it so he started reading into two wow this book is very powerful i don't know about but if you ask me how i found the book i really don't know how i came in contact with the book so angels can help you you're just on the internet i just see something in between the lines and you don't you can't even remember so angelic beans i mean i remember reverend salman yeah he was saying when the church wasn't growing he said he told the troll church they should pray 21 days he said it was during the twenty one the first was saying it in a minister's conference here that a particular minister just came to him and said ah there's this particular book written by rick warren i mean it was new then he said he just read the purpose driven life was what was driven church i handed it over to him he said he opened the palm and he began so packets and i'll show this of information starts coming a little bit here a little bit there i mean i was in a country recently and when i was going there you know they just opened they were unlocked and it just opened pop to the public to all that country so i've probably found the first set of people going into the country so i mean when you are going and you're feeling immigration and stuff all what's the call locator form and all of that you have to stay states because it's at the discretion of the immigration officer whether you'll be quarantined or not haven't fulfilled these conditions so you write it you submit everything it takes yes permission to fly but still when you arrive there they can't qualify you if they feel you are coming from a place where they need to quarantine you so we landed and you fill in the form where you will stay for 14 days should in case that is it you know of course you don't allow that thoughts to come to you so you must be in faith but what we're putting up i have passports right for electronic clearing the form came out and then it says you can proceed to meet the immigration officer but my own there was x so i looked around and i saw people that looked somehow had ex coming from some type of countries while some other people are tick so i knew gentlemen we have a problem with immigration so i stood there's a lady in front of me and she must have been someone of influence all right because there was a protocol officer with her so she just said out loud so she was talking to the chap so this thing what if this immigration chap said this ah the guy just said well you know the best way to handle this kind of thing is when you meet them you smile greet them properly and smile that's we and that way they will be helpful rather than be harmful now as far as i was concerned that was intelligence from an angel are you following what i'm saying yeah i'm trying to tell you how god talks to you he's not my son my son pp hear my voice i just i just said thank you jesus i got there i smiled everything i mean my mom was going to make you know once i was tapping his fingers like this means we're about to decide just like this scratched off the eggs scratch it took himself green go he said have a nice day are you following because he said how long are you i said four they said all this distance i said i'm too busy too i can't stay anywhere more than four days you can go but god brought an angel do you understand what i'm saying so packets of information will come but those information are new to you there are no things that you already know all right now so it begins to come in how do we know this isaiah chapter 30. let's quickly look at this isaiah 30 and verse 19. quickly it says this for the people all right but before this now if we get to verse 16 you'll see verse 15 there was a struggle you know trying to make it that much i said the lord in a returning and in what rest which means you label to enter you return to god and end time to the rest you understand that listen i didn't have rest in my heart i just went in returning and arrest shall you be saved in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength it says but you will not then he says but you said no we will flee upon horses therefore shall you flee and will ride upon the sweep therefore they touch possible shall be swift that he says one thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one at the rebuke of five will you flee till you'll be left as a beacon on the top of the mountain as an enzyme on a hill therefore will the lord wait that he may be gracious unto you therefore he will be exalted that he may have mercy upon you for the lord is a god of judgment blessed are they that wait for him so you return you understand that they're saying let me go through the spiritual way so god will be very gracious on to the next verse it says this for the people shall normal be very gracious at the voice of thy cry when he shall hear it verse 20 it says though the lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction yet shall not die teach us be removed into a cannon anymore but your eyes will see your teachers which means an answer to prayers teachers students packets of information that will educate you now to give you insight and so things start coming to you this is the rain all right from heaven for the next verse there says and you all hear a word behind this saying this is the way to go walking it and you will not turn to the right or turn to the where it says when you turn to the right and when you turn to the left now let's go to verse 23 it says then shall he give the reign of thy seed that is the reign of thy seed teachers that cause you to hear this is the way to go that's the reign of that seed look at let's keep that verse there it says you shall saw the ground with all and the bread of the increase of the earth this is not the bread of adversity but the bread of the increase it means the bread that comes because the earth has yielded its increase to you not because of your own fossil but because the earth has opened up and given you increase as it says in mark 4 28 it says for the earth bring get forth fruit of herself so you are eating of the bread all right that comes from the increase that the earth brings the earth brings that increase there so god begins to show you things and you begin all right so implement now these things don't mean that he'll tell you okay to make this vision happen this next day no you just like getting packets of information he might just show you things about the importance of praying for people and then you put that into your life and then it shows you the importance of doing certain things doing put that again into your life energizes that's it he's showing you things power working in forgiveness all right you see things here it shows you it shows you all these packets of information begins to strategic insight starts coming to you this dew is very important for nothing can happen without that rain falling genesis 2 5 to 7 god himself waited for it he says and every plant of the field before it was in the earth and every hair before it grew for the lord god had not caused it to rain upon the earth for there was no man to chill the ground but there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground all right and then the lord god after the water came into the earth formed a manner with his hands here all right out of the dust of the ground and then breathed into him the breath of life haggai chapter 1 and verse 15 of verse 10 and i 110 tells us that if the heaven or value stays is due the earth must stay its fruit so once the heaven begins to give you that rain then the earth itself begins to become fat and pleasures and that reindeer is the thoughts all right strategies information that comes in answer morning by morning he opened my ear to hear as the leonard jose chapter 14 and verse five that's very powerful it says consider the lineage how the growth is by this reign i will be as due unto israel and it shall grow as the lily which means without toiling or spin so you take you meditate on that vision every day right you give god thanks for it you offer it up to god in prayer right and then you open the word of god you read things and god begins to minister to you grants you insight that's what you're doing now after some time this thing is going to start bringing forth the earth will start you just allow god to minister sit down there man and allow god to make god is their great soul when it comes to growing that thing here's the one that is going so it's not to use not you know when you start doing all these things or elbowing your way listen god is the one that is going to cause that thing all right to start opening up in the earth right and once that begins to happen it is important that this element is in your life which is what i came to teach today right say these other ones this element is right there all that side deals with spiritual things but we now get to the fiscal dimension here and it's of necessity that this is operational in your own life all right as a person that is going on and it's called efficient action or works here is where several christians miss it all right many try to go and implement their vision all right so you have a vision in your heart and most people will tell you that what they are doing presently is not their dream okay that we have a dream what i'm just doing i'm just waiting on god but i have a dream i'm walking inside this office but it's not my dream my dream is to build a big business nothing wrong someone says i'm employed somewhere but my dream nothing wrong scriptural and so have a to build a global brand which is true all right in the fashion world so i will show you how it happens how it happens is you get the promise you look at it now my mother says it must be global they are correct because the seed of abraham the promise was made to abraham and to his seed any promise that god gave abraham he gave you so when he said in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed is global now show that person what they are supposed to do all right now it's just like saying now i embrace that and say cover that nation be in all the nations of the earth you know and around so there are churches i'll be in china where everybody will be chinese a church that'll be in japan japanese now all i can do is to meditate because what do you do well what do you do you say that you gotta apply for islam go to china where you go what do you do the only thing i know you said and started teaching on it i don't think i knew you said there'll be mexicans in church that's all you can do you don't even speak their language so that's all you can do i use that's all and that's what god wants you to do to come to the point where you're fully persuaded to come to the point where you believe you have received it you are meditating on it every day then you take it up to god in prayer thanking him i've received this and then he begins all right to water and notice it giving you strategic information all right ideas are coming from god and he's just implementing you are there implementing it into your life stuff is going on but then it says that all right now so people sit down and say i'm going to have a global brand now what they are what what they are doing right now is they're adjusting some of you as an administrator now here's where the problem comes therefore because it's not their vision and they are not even interested in it in fact what they really wanted to read is not what they read in university so from the get-go they are not really really interested in this job that they have and it's a critical mistake let me tell you this it is a critical destiny mystic where people are detached listen anything that you are doing now repent if you are detached you are detached and non-challenged about it because they say the pain is not even if they increase the pay that's how you would be pay doesn't change character let me tell you this it doesn't increasing pay doesn't make a lazy person hard working increasing pay will make somebody who doesn't read sarity and let me tell you something if you are lazy and you come late in another person's office when you open your office you will wake up also at 10 a.m you don't think so you'll see if you don't repent of it it's like someone said that when i enter ministry ah then i'll stop fasting when i start my child then i'll start praying for where the same time you wake up when you are not in ministry if god if god will even come and carry but if by mistake you heard that you are there and you got there he won't god doesn't touch god look at jesus he went to meet people who were on duty do you see him saying there was somebody even if the duty was wrong they won't teach you and they were in the house sleeping and jesus went to wake them up follow me even the tax collector was doing the tax those catching fish were at it he listen i'm telling you that the angels come to meet people where you are all right it will come where you are so efficient action is not about getting up and trying to look for who's going to loan me money for this and i'm like that's not that's all we're talking about efficient action means all right the things that you are doing where you are now this is how the dream it's not doesn't look connected to the dream in you but this is how it will come to pass in other words many people deal with it handle it in a non-challenged detached way all right what they have in their hands today this is not how the system of god works your declarations your meditation your thanksgiving prayers will cause what you need to come to you where you are and when it comes to you where you are if you are not offering efficient what we call action there the thing will turn around and go away from you very important what is efficient action you are giving people that interact with you in your career or in your business more in value than they are giving back in exchange with money in other words you have made up your mind that if i am working in an office this office will gain more in value than this office can pay me materially so there is an attitude that you have to work there you go into the work with your mind you are running a business you tell yourself listen any client that interacts with this business i want to show you these requests are missing it they will get more in value than what i give to me materially the second thing is everybody from the least to the greatest will be treated with respect if these two things are in your life write them and say now you meet but if you are telling me that listen that's what jesus was saying if you are faithful in the things of another man you are unfaithful you think anybody is going to give you your own thing he says no but god is not going to do it i'm saying you have to change your listen it is a secret in life people do not know listen all i'm doing today in this village i was telling them somewhere ministers weren't talking them i said listen when i was in school it wasn't my business it wasn't my ministry we were to have a convention all right the department that was supposed to go and put up the banners came to jaja hall to collect the banners at 6 00 a.m i had put up all the banners university of lagos by myself president of the fellowship listen go and ask my friends they will tell you that this is how this chap has always been if i had put up the balance myself i used to go and pray on the field me and my friend he is in the 10-man intercessory team in kinetico plans ministry today what you are not you can be you say i'm yearning i have ministry when they give you anything you'll be honest you think i'll just wake up once i get into my vision i say go and check jesus he only called people joseph became prime minister because of efficiency in what he was doing in prison if he was detached he would have been in prison forever see is that a man that is diligent in his business he didn't tell us the nature of the business he said the quality is diligent he shall stand before kings he is kings that will now open up the door for what you have in your heart people are not efficient on what they are doing all right and i'm telling you faith people somewhere because of this spirituality that they bring into it sometimes are the laziest people because they are depending on god so they go about things all right in a very lazy shorty manner and then i'm telling you i'm telling this every movie they'll be telling you it is how efficient you are every single thing that you do i made up my mind in this ministry there was one cardinal thing i told myself secretly in my heart i said and even from campus i was doing it i said listen a person has a right to walk into a church and a person has a right to walk out of the church with the same ease they entered they must have the same ease to live i don't negotiate power on if you want to leave a church if you tell me you want to leave your church i just let you i don't even ask you why is it that you start negotiating we don't i don't do negotiation a person must have that but i made up my mind i said if anybody leaves this church and goes it must be that when they are wherever they are they are still using things they lent in this ministry you can ask anybody over on friendship some people what time someone told me said oh fellas remember she told them said except we are telling ourselves lies said except we are telling ourselves lies huh what this man taught us in school somebody left this ministry at the onset and went to another church let me tell you what he left and went to the church and all of that and the reason was it was political all right and i've always said this to people who want to go into ministry two reasons you must never leave it you can never judge for that but two reasons that must never power or money don't ever touch those two things uh that didn't promote me to become head of out of the baby i'm going listen listen you have mistruth you don't need all of that it's like joseph saying they didn't promote me to become a chief warden so is he that or you you want to become prime minister of egypt so this gentleman left and one day a young man came to see me in this church this was maybe 15 years after he said he knows i want to tell you something i said what he said you know i was in this church that's church i was as a youth he said and we had a youth pastor and he will come to teach us and in his teaching sometimes he will refer to somebody he said that person saved my life with his teachings this person saved my life but he never mentioned the name of that person because of the church he was in but he would just say it in person he said one day i entered the covenant and i sat down and i listened to you and i knew it must have been you said was the first day i heard in my life this must be the person expressing i went to call him he said yes no in fact he didn't say anything to him he now invited him for a seminar the chap did not know it was covered just said come here so he now came in ah it's a process so you came for this meeting this is how are you he just called him he said he didn't know that he said that's where he made the call he said i always knew it was you so you have to give people an increase of life when they interact with you life means what they give to you materially you should give them value which means what they can use that's how your mind should be nobody in that interaction you that's that's how so if you are walking in a place i'm telling this you must even if they say the only thing you have got to do is to clean this place all right and make sure the chairs are clean be efficient about it put your mind into it find knowledge how will this understand what cleanliness does for your brand understand it all right put it into it understand all right get you should i i mean you put your dollars around the sides you click on the green how much they pay me fifty thousand okay these people and their business put your mind let me tell you why you have a dream of having a global brand the person who is going to open the door to that global and it's going to walk in through that place without you knowing and it is the nature of what you do that that person will see and one day you might meet the person someone say are you not that person this is how check the bible this is how it works when the chief butler got there and there was an issue he said i remember somebody who was efficient somebody got somebody said i remember daniel who is efficient that efficient action means that you are doing things in a certain way don't do too many things but what you do do well all right let it be that there's an exchange there's you know somebody did something in this church recently we asked them to survive saying what jesus you know what we hired the person to do it one person did it president told me the price sent the invoice ah that's why i said what's this guy saying this morning this guy doesn't know does he know the nature of what he doesn't know the nature of work doesn't he know what he's going to do so when he started the walk in fact when i came to the work they said they left here at the people that did it with him got to my 10 something so he finished the work sent it to me and sent the same amount so i called him i said i got your invoice he was taking her back he thought maybe i wanted to change too much i said oh boy you didn't charge right to mark that invoice up he looked at me said pastor i said okay he said you know i just you know because i wanted to do it as i understand that i know the workforce but i just wanted to do it i said if it's offering we have received it you know isaac abram put isaac down god said i've received but you can't take your son so i said we have received it as offering but you wait for your alert i almost doubled what he said but because he did that thing it is inside my heart listen uh and it will happen because it is a seed one day that seed will come out somebody in the world and it will not be nigeria that i know will ask for something and i'll say guy go and call him when you are not efficient in your actions when they make a suggestion with kings the people you know they say you are only four people away from anybody in this world the people that should call your name they see the face remember as you are yawning they change their mind about it i'm telling you this thing respect for people i said well god didn't send any man when you pray you put faith out angels get the man can you imagine a man coming he has decided this is the lady i'm going to get married to seeing you in church talk to you collected number talked you'll be bleed is coming out you two you are sensing you know your body is you know ah and you're looking at a nice guy on this day he came you were outside warning everybody in the compound that's let me warn you people in this compound and the guy is driving and he sees you warning people do you know you will not know he ever came he does political reverse turn around and just go home jesus i thank you close in available neck hole that is the i'm saying you can do things that will drive the harvest away that's the problem efficient action all right making sure i'm this thing is a joke making sure that when you come out publicly at least you are smartly dressed these are i'm telling you things that make people change that they have it you put faith put that every day people just come the time decision to be made people just say no you tell people i will deliver the job 6 p.m on thursday 6 p.m passes call them on 6 pm or 4 p.m i'm sorry i'm able to make it monday 10 a.m it will be with you you get them on dm it's not a question of words you say well you have to pay me for 50 000 make it 45 i was late but says no no i am a person of my word and i hold myself accountable that person will not forget when you bring monday they say well what is it doesn't that means efficiency doesn't mean anything all right when the bible says that god has given us a sound mind the meaning of it is that those who all right no things that i turn out but are efficient in things of time and it's this action this area i'm telling you where christians are just throwing all right they stop away so your personal activity so everything you do not just sometimes everything you do all right everything i'm told myself next year i'm cutting down meetings i want to do because every meeting i do i want it to be maximum life i impart into people if i don't come and speak but but if you do it was very powerful no the secret is like we don't go everywhere so the few we go to impact maximum life so if you want to help you come to that place do you understand what i'm saying because something will be people preach around the whole place foreign but that's minister's conference material i shouldn't have said that all right all right i mean it's just like being a preacher now you're saying you're saying japanese you're seeing chinese fight so what happens for the door to open in china somebody in church hears you the boss is chinese that's how it happens goes to me the boss the boss is christian says man when you listen to my pastor he says are you serious is it on youtube it's on youtube the message it clicked that day you were saying vanity's vanity you know that's the end of everything that's why everything was in part life that's why it says in the morning so that i see the evening you don't know which one everything must in part life that's why you have these powerful organizations they won't allow anything to live there without the standards being said you can say well manage no no no it's not about you it's about somebody else that will see it you go to a shop you say like what i want to be going i want to go i said no we've got to wrap it right you're wasting my time no no no no you know what i know because once our bag is carried the team must be wrapped right because it's not about you it's about somebody else's what is it after we did the cloth again you are saying we should be wrapped please take the crowd yeah yeah man go you don't know who it is uh i mean i have friends that have been into big indigenous oil companies and where did he get the open door he was selling shirts he used to sell shirts in school came out and continued to sell shirts and one of the people who used to sell shirts to was a top guy in an npc and said now it is because of the way he sold the shirts that they came to see they screwed i'm telling you see is now a man that is diligent he will go before what kings anything they tell you to do if they call you to come and speak somewhere wake up make sure you prepare properly there is somebody we invited to speak at this platform when i heard and i called somebody in america i said your friend is coming to speak the person told me brilliant person but about speaking i'm not sure whether the person can verbalize the thoughts that the person has in their mind i said hey ah this is how i'm going to do it for this person until yesterday somebody sent me something i said what's this he said this is this person is being coached hired a speaking coach to coach on it that's what i like understands that that is a moment of destiny are you following understands it's a moment of what destiny so god that god now that you just go there by the time you've done more harm to yourself than good do you get what i'm saying because the whole world now knows you can't talk not before they didn't know you at least you know the bible says remain in silence they think it's right now you've got so you you get and you so that's how people that make progress make progress not commonly braggadocios way are you what i'm saying this is a slot just don't talk that that somebody let me know say it here somebody all right governor of state send somebody to me to have we deny those ones brought you then you come again in braggadocious way you don't know people can sit down make up their mind this one never errol how did i miss god are you from syria any opportunity that is given to you all right look you can do a job interview they refuse you but somebody on the panel will remember you somewhere because you came smartly dressed you are not qualified for that job they agree you are not qualified so they can't take you but they are thinking of where they can take you now that you go there others are useless people can you see how does god walk with that do you understand what i'm saying anybody you meet greets them first thing you do good afternoon ma'am good afternoon sir that you're using sir doesn't mean you're inferior to people if you don't say i can't say my to that person i can't i cannot when i was in school and that person wants to school create a person we don't know respect all right and it's not that you say man not deliver the job that's witchcraft you just say after we said matt to you you you do the job you are supposed to do and do it well so please this is a repentance service okay it is a sweet message voice repentance that if you've been doing things shoddy saying that my vision changes if they gave you something to manage manage it well get books on management read about it understand it know the history of management why did they start having managers why this understand it and then put your mind into it and begin to apply knowledge there it is in the process all right of getting some of the biggest doors that have been open to me to come and preach sometimes it's members of church maybe they'll travel somewhere that mention it to their pastors or leaders or something and those begin to open up but those people that are mentioning they know that this one won't disgrace us you know that you know you they can't they can you can invite somebody and you are praying in tongues all right that we just hope we just hope all right he will do it you have to i don't want to use that word but your you know say your personal brand but that's what it really is it has to be one of integrity one that delivers to promise all right one that it is not about material things life is given to people with respect and with honor there is somebody in government today god might he was a church member was in government today back then let me tell you this and what happened was that this somebody i just want to tell a story i mean i just feel like she's eight all right it was first cousin and um so we used to go to the house the house was open but it was so that she it wasn't harm so your first cousin but you're now staying with your aunt whose daughter all right is so the daughter used to come was in my campaign she brought her to church where we studied so she used to come as first cousin to church but they treated her as an outsider inside the house in other words just to show the dynamics she will do the cooking and she could really cook because she used to move around because her mother wasn't around so she moved so she learnt how to cook okay so she'll cook but when it's time to serve she'll drop it she didn't have that self-confidence she would drop it on dining table the cousin will pick it up and serve and all of that so on this day was my birthday and so they said they would do a party there so they did the party so for the first time the cousin came to serve you know the cousin was giving people and she cuts it to give food i overhead this chap who is in government today and i call his men he just said to his friend paulie did you see what i saw that's her he decided to marry her two weeks after that they started a relationship you know i knew that relationship will be scattered because the mother will not like that this good man came to this house and selected my niece instead of my daughter so this kind of business i do it so what i do if i tell you things i've done i do this kind of business okay i'm just telling you quickly before i go back a friend of mine said he fell in love in school he was in year three the lady was nine years older than him he said he's getting married his father was dead so the mother was struggling and all of that but he said his marriage is in love we talked to him he said his mind love and love ah i said boy we talked to you and not hearing we'll wait so we went to visit the mother about your son wants to marry you we know the house of the girl we can take you there we took the mother the woman to you says for us she said i'm beggar as we got there she just slapped that one on the check now the pastor too might be a strategic person to tell so we but we hid and left do you know that within anything so you want to go back to school he too did say anything to us oh why are you not married again i said no we we no don't walk we can't do it he said no the day he was going to england i was with him my mind went on the queue like this to interpretation with this was many years ago because i was going to continue questioning that i said by the way he said what i said you know that lady yes this is what he say i said yes i said so what happened he said i will come out of church i'll be going to meet her she'll cross the road to the other side and because i want to cross russian cross back to the other side because the pastor i don't call his neighbor he was a he was a brutal man there he told the lady when we went to report he called the mother went to report he called the second if i'm in the church and i'm preaching on this side of the congregation he must be on the other side if you come out through this door he must come out through the door from my office when i look down if on the road you are both on the same side you are in trouble so she'll be checking for him he couldn't even talk to her all right so let me close with this story so i knew that there was going to be a problem because our mother was in england so i went to the house so i told the daughter i said hey my friends say yes that's okay so if you want to get married to anybody anybody fella is from iceland will your mother agree said anybody so long as i'm in love i said okay now let me tell you someone saw us ask your cousin for marriage i must hear any sound in this house since you have said if it were you even if you brought somebody from eskimo land they we agree this matter must not leak so i called the cousin please do not tell anybody she was looking past what do you say i said do not say pastor understand what you are saying until your mother arrives in this country nobody must know you are getting married you know it was the day of introduction the mother told the sister we are introducing today everyone say praise the lord that's how we married or else that marriage would have been scattered are you following what i'm saying efficient what action [Applause] okay [Applause] amen let us stand up to our feet still speaking about efficient action first timothy chapter 4 verse 13. this is a conversation paul had with his son in in the ministry he says until i come devote yourself to the public reading of the scripture to preaching and to teaching verse 14. it says do not neglect your gift which has which was given to you all right through through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you verse 15 which is the which is the verse verse 15 very quickly it says be diligent in these matters give yourself or lead to them so that everyone may see your progress all right so we're going to be praying this prayer now that we're receiving the grace to be diligent a certain people who have taught you certain things all right pray that you will be diligent in that matters that the grace to be diligent that god

crucial so the children's church and the teenagers church are calling for volunteers and possibly new members sometimes we have up to 600 children at the children's church so um we would like to have people volunteer it will be on a rotational basis you don't have to join department fully and of course you can be there for one service and be here for another service so for both the children's church and the teenagers boom efficiently and and that's such a gift in this lagos because i mean you can't even begin to imagine the millionaire one things that are on a woman's mind when she's in the boardroom or wherever she is working you know but i learned efficient systems and processes to put my my home is a well-oiled machine right now i can be anywhere at any time and i'm not afraid not even for my my son i started uh leading in the criminal committee group by leading the young men's community at the same time i supported my wife leading these working singles both had similar young people and these working singles the experience there was very enlightening because you find out that was a mix of different ranges of ages but the millennials were a very interesting group to to actually because leading them was not just about giving to them was about actually learning from them especially with relates to i've always had challenges or i've always had i thought i had challenges with adapting to the millennial culture but that group helped me to understand how they think what empathize with them and how you can actually get the best out of them from a professional level when i joined one of the of the communities i was aspiring into a c-level role at the time i was a senior manager and at the community group level i was able to learn a lot of things around the mentality of moving into sea level what is required of me and that that helps my whole interview processes and then right now i have i'm happy to say that i have achieved that and i now sit in the cereal that i've always aspired to the community group makes me feel confident i feel good fulfillment things i've never thought that i would want to reach for i'm beginning to reach for them today in in one word i would say that i feel enabled i will absolutely invite others to join the community groups as soon as we can immediately right now today now yes i remember when i i mean i joined the women in leadership group my sisters in the u.s my sister in the uk told them you just have to look for a group to join and last semester they were part of different community groups in diaspora so there's no excuse whether you are here in nigeria where a global thing anywhere you are you can decide to join any of the community groups first of all there's so many options available for for anyone that wants to join and this is an opportunity a free opportunity to actually share your experience and get from other people life is multifaceted you know and for every facet or aspect of your life there's a group and trust me it's better when you're doing life with people it's way better i'm very excited about this coming semester i see a bigger and more active community of value-adding people we are coming higher we are going to have better quality experiences we are going to have more bonding and friendship sessions i'm looking forward to meeting more people i also expect that i would
