[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] afraid [Music] all right let's take a confession of this one once ago as i said to listen to the word of god today a daw of utterance has been opened unto me and i hear the voice of god clearly speaking to me this is the way to go walking ye in it i listen under the influence of the spirit of god and i am not distracted by anything or anyone the word of god is full to my spirit i am strengthened by it this morning it is wine 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 live out god's will amen and amen all right today i want to get into the corner claudian concept here on this subject of for one of terms the ecosystem of god's kingdom so that we know where it starts and we also know how you know it gets completed in other words the security is formed and we start out by saying that the kingdom of god as jesus said is as if a man will plant seed into the ground now when we talk about the ground we are talking about the human heart and that's where spiritual seeds are sown and you've got to protect that ground because that ground does not discriminate in other words the choice is made by the farmer and if the farmer plants apples seeds and desires orange fruit the earth or the ground is not going to make that correction for the farmer the ground is going to produce what has been planted on the inside if the farmer neglects the soil and other types of seeds are sown in there earth is not going to say that i know that this person that owns this land will actually prefer this type of crop the ground will produce that which has been planted on the inside of it the good part about that is it does not take more effort from the earth so produce all right orange trees uh from an oak tree is that it's the same process the farmer plants the seed it is the ground that does that work there and causes the seed to spring forth and go so we understood the concept of guard your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life the niv translation says that we should guard that heart above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life all right amplified version speaks also about it that we shall protect and guard our hearts and keep it because keep and guard your heart with all the village vigilance above all that you got for out of it flows the springs of life or out of it comes the cause of your life the direction so we talked about protecting the ground and making sure that it's only the right seeds that go on the inside and that the seeds you should be planting seeds of god's word that god will confirm in your life with signs and wonders as the experiences of your life in other words if it's god's seed within what begins to come out of your heart well the word is called signs wonders and diverse miracles as it begins to spring forth so look chapter 8 verse 11 tells us the seed of the kingdom is god's word the parable is the seed is the word of god that's god's promise to you god's ideas about your life that you want to plant on the inside of yourself so let's look at it this way and it's an easy way for you to know the promises that you can lay claim on easily the bible tells us that unto us i gave it exceeding grace and precious promises now what are these promises it says unto abraham and took his seed where those promises made not seed as of many but one who is christ and you are abraham see it if you are christ so you are the seed of abraham therefore every promise that was made unto abraham was also made unto you now what that means is you're a father of many nations now you can interpret that now in the context of your life and someone can say out of me it's going to come many companies and therefore i'm going to bring forth multinationals imagination out there father of many nations that's what when he said multinational you are talking about that's really a father of many nations uh you can say told the promise for you also your seed it says all families of the earth are going to be blessed so you can also say a product will come out of you because it's your seed that will reach all the nations the one nations there are tribes of the earth which means every people group all over the earth will be touched by something that comes out of you so in order to get the word of god into your heart it doesn't mean you can explain it so i can now explain the concept of abraham and the promises and then you go out and you explain it right if the bible says that the love of jesus is shared abroad in your heart by the holy spirit and love is patient and kind and then we go into the greek word for patience and we define it from the history and classical greek into its usage in the new testament you'll get a clear understanding of the word patient you'll have a phenomenal understanding of the word kindness all right and so what happens is you can therefore explain what patience and kindness really is intellectually however when you have that word on the inside of you inside your heart it is not all right that you understand it intellectually or that you can explain it what it means is you have experienced that word not on the outside but you have experienced that word on the inner side of you in other words what has happened is you have taken that concept of impatient and kind and now meditated upon it and in age you behold yourself as in a mirror practicing patience and kindness so in order to make it real you identify the person or the people and the they say the soul only absorbs truth in its living power as it requires it so what happens is you take that concept and what you do is because you required you needed to be patient and kind to somebody in your life you'll begin to rehearse those virtues in as you're meditating seeing yourself respond to that individual in that situation with patience and in kindness you play back what the person does or deed and then you see yourself respond as described in the word of god and you are meditating on that picture there that's how you get the word planted into you because you can be a hero but it's not planted this when it gets into your consciousness it means you have experienced it within yourself inside your heart and the picture of that experience is right before your eyes so what you do is that you meditate on that daily the word doesn't work because you mentally understand it the word doesn't work all right just like somebody's saying that i know that um the lord is my shepherd therefore i do not want and he can explain what it means the word wants in hebrew and the lord all right the right hebrew word for lord and shepherd and then expect doesn't mean that all right but a person puts that word in which means she is a life that is void of luck all right meditates upon that that you know pay all the bills i have sufficiency i'm sufficient in all things and i'm able to donate all right out of their born and meditate on that so you meditate daily on that image say this that's how god's word gets into you and then you give god the thanks as in faith with a heart of gratitude that feeling that this truth is now operational in my life and i'm enjoying the benefits of it so you are giving him thanks that i'm living around this life now and every day you are practicing that in your leisure time meditating upon that and doing that now what is what happens is we try to do what god says he will do while what he told us to do we live that on dawn in other words he tells us that it says for example if you will say to this mountain bid i'll remove that carson sea and shall not doubt in your heart but believe what we at yourself shall come to part you will have it now we try and go and move the mountain instead of us doing what he says we should do what should we do that you say it and doubt not that work on your own self that you doubt not but you believe that what you are saying shall come to pass it says if you believe you have received something when you pray you shall have it which means i will make it happen but your unconditional what you have to do is to make sure you believe you have received it now instead of us working on that to believe we have received we are walking on his own side which means we are trying to make it to produce what he said he will produce he said you do your own part put the seed into the ground the farmer does not try to cause that seed to grow because the farmer cannot but what the farmer does is to plant the seed in the ground so protect that seed which is in the ground from birds from animals from things coming to eat the seeds all right and that's your own business so get it planted into your heart and retained in your heart so hold fast onto it within and to make sure that that image and to make sure that that thing remains inside your heart that's why i said keep it in the midst of your heart so keep it there now we leave that and we are trying to do stuff on the outside i will mess things up so our business is to work with it now many people can do things on the outside but they are not yet and it doesn't produce anything you have not come to the point where you have received that thing on the inside of yourself you can even pray about it but you have not yet received it and you can fast but you have not yet received it and how do you know that peter when he was going to be killed the bible says the church prayed without season peter came he was at the gates like said all of us are praying here and then peter comes to the gate door and knocked and someone from team church sees yes that and runs to us and says peter is at the door we're all praying and as we say bashing and you know god folded up on the chair all kinds of things and then they come and say pictures out and the first response is you are mad that shows that you don't believe you have received that thing so people can be praying about things and you see when you pray that way if you want it desperately you will get up from prayer and try to make it happen but if you believe you have received you will enter into rest you will know that this issue is done and in fact you'll be watching to see how god is going to do this miraculous thing so what it tells us is hebrews chapter 4 and verse 11. it says liberal so enter into rest enter to that place where you are persuaded it's a label that you don't fall after the same example of unbelief so you've got to do that work to get rid of the unbelief and enter into that place of rest and we don't do that and we are trying to produce on the outside all right so you change that image even an activity as spiritual as prayer coming on an unbelief all right someone in charge that called me and sent me a message what's up they said it was a medical emergency serious emergency iran president child had got i mean it was serious i mean it was a serious as i mean they had to go in and open the skull immediately they got to the hospital the condition in which they found the child in the morning direct so it was it i knew this was touch and go when they told me i knew that this thing they are saying all right is a serious matter all right within i knew that so i called somebody who's doctor and john and he said he'll go there says the neurosurgeon is his friend he went there and they were there so he sent me a message and said pastor look no prayer and all of this so i said look before we get into the exercise of prayer you cannot have the picture of her as she was on the bed and take that into prayer if we do that we are only actually enforcing that picture because when the light in you becomes darkness how great is the darkness satan can use what was for our good to enforce and become a stronghold i said let me tell you what you have got to do she is young she is under 10. change that picture see her coming out finishing school with the first class see her getting married you walking down the aisles whole and hearty she also working no trace of anything in fact people are saying isn't this and say now change that picture once you have changed that picture and that's what you are seeing with your inner eye all right which means when you get to the spot next time you look at her you are looking at that image you are seeing her as an adult working and all of that when that image is changed that we're entitled to prayer because when you pray the bible says with an open face you behold as in a mirror the glory of the lord you are changed into that same image by the spirit now when jesus went into what was called mount transfiguration the bible says and as he prayed he was changed or transfigured that what transfigured is the same thing as change that used in second corinthians 3 there which means that the holy spirit while you are praying there begins to change your life into what you are beholding as you pray so it is important when you are praying you take your meditation into prayer which means that's why you should spend your less your time meditating and giving god thanks so when it's time to pray you take that thing into prayer and you're praying at the details of all those things that's why he said if you abide in me and my words abide in you then you can get into the place of prayer there and it shall be done unto you so you are taking the image there into the place of prayer and pray it is not what you desire you get when you pray it is what you believe you have received you get that's why i said whatever things you desire when you pray believe you have received them and you shall have them many people pray desire but they are the what they believe they have received in their life contradicts what they really desire and so when they go into prayer the power is not being because there is that division that is going on which means that if they're not united on the inside so use your will right now if you don't do that you start trying so hard on the outside to make things happen now i've got to understand is christ lost my receiving not christ plus my efforts which means it's the power of god plus my receiving receive it that's the real work i mean ask jesus what work should we do that we might do the works of god he said this is your work belief because he knows that to get yourself to that place where you are fully persuaded all right takes that in so you use your will to receive and not to produce what only god can produce a farmer cannot make a seed grow he lacks that ability he can plant but only god knows how and makes the seed grow paul said i planted a poreless watered it is god that gives the increase so you must know that god is the one who gives the increase and for paul to have said that paul experienced it i mean i'm sure he preached let's say in ephesus they got results he went to another place preached also did all of that nothing happened and then he realized that listen i can be present apollos can be present but we are better be worshipping and thanking god that you are the one who gives the increase so it's god that gives the increase you must have that god factor which means you are looking up and watching the name god you are the one who gives the increase we put in what we can but you are the one who opens up the doors so what does the farmer do keep the seed in the ground and water so how do you keep it no matter what happens and stuff will happen on the outside and those things is to cause you to give up and just throw in the towel and say look i'm not meditating on anything i'm not seeing anything again all right things are not changing look at what happened negative you know i was saying it by myself you know prospering my job and look at what happened they they i went for the interview they didn't give me the job and all of that you just drop it it says no matter what happens you must have that unwavering faith steadfastness in purpose that is you hold tenaciously to that vision you are giving god thanks and worshipping him right which means you might be disappointed because you're joining you may lose battles to win the war you get what i'm saying here i think you said the people sent a video about a man who who was going somewhere and he fell and broke his leg and they took him to us only for him to miss a flight where the flight plane crashed and he came to the con i mean somebody in church had sent me before sent me live video her sister went into a petrol station and somebody just drove in front of her and pushed out of the place and all of that and again she just saw another petrol station and she drove out she recorded it and sent it to me the petrol station exploded she was looking at it this way and said listen that if she was struggling there ah that is god so you might be disappointed it might look like people cheated you but it was to take away something so that you can see the right thing are you following what i'm saying here once you put that seed into your heart know that all things are working together for the fulfillment of it even what looks like it has look before let me show you what i'm saying catch this in the spirit it was ever brought to work that said his powerful statement he said in god when you are believing him for things god comes to the point where he will remove everything visible that will support the manifestation of that thing so that you can solely focus on his word in other words at one point he said i'm taking away isaac that is the key to becoming a father of many nations that you may know what it is to trust in me alone not even in the instrument i've given to you for his fulfillment so support struggle you hold on to it inside your heart right and you don't allow that vision to be taken away you keep it all right right on the inside of you then you now go for getting it watered i'll quick go through this because i want to close something i watch if i talk about efficient action today well they say put on water in there means you now believe you have received that's why paul will say i cease not to pray which means who are playing this uh and it's something like this colossians chapter 1 verse 9 to verse 11 in the new international version niv let's put up the niv version here it says for this reason since the day we heard about you which was about their faith he says we have not stopped praying for you asking that god will fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding next verse and we pray this in order that you may live worthy lives it says all right worthy of the lord and may please him all right in every way bearing fruit in every good work growing in the knowledge of god okay but um um amplified i think is amplified message one of them all right put amplify all right so it says you may be filled with full deep clear knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and comprehensive insight into the ways and purpose of god and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things one translation says the understanding there that is supplied directly by the spirit of god to you so you are praying here and watch the holy uh seeking his face bringing that vision now all right to god praying that seeking his face as he says in isaiah 5 verse 6 he says seek the lord while he may be found call upon him while he's there let the wicked forsake his way the unrighteous thoughts all right let him come unto god he will have mercy with me she tried maintaining work he says to abandon the paddock for as their heavens are higher than they are so my thoughts are that your thoughts and my ways that yours as rain coming down from heaven and snow and it's water at the earth it says verse 10 all right all right rain coming down slow from heaven and doesn't return but what has the earth and makes it bring forth on the board that may give sin to the sower so shall my word be so you're praying that this rain all right begins to fall now in order to access this reign here which is so important you get into the place of prayer and pray your vision through repeatedly uh praying through there means that you are over now god has given it to you you believe you have received it from god you are thanking him but now all right you are praying it through so that on the outside every demonic hindrance you overcome that and angels therefore can come and minister to you and grant you insights give you intelligence and information that you should walk in that will bring about the fulfillment of this particular thing now there are good ideas but there is god's idea and what happens a lot of times we don't plant it but just implement a good idea and it doesn't isaiah 50 verse 10 on verse 11 talks about good ideas isaiah 50 let's start reading from verse 10 who is among you that feared the lord and obey the voice of his servant and walketh in darkness and hath no light he says this what you need to be let him trust in the name of the lord and stay upon his god verse 11 instead of doing that people do this behold all you that kind of fire that compass yourselves about its facts walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which you have kindled this shall you have on my hand you shall lie in sorrow which means you can do things ideas and all of that but it didn't come from which so you want to wait on god so that he begins to pour forth and you do that by praying through that vision uh take what you mentioned about in place of prayer and pray through all right that thing and an angels get released daniel chapter nine the angels came and said i've come to give you skill and understanding it says from the first day in which you prayed this commandment came we have now come to give you skill and to give you understanding insight wisdom so angels begin to minister to you so what begins to happen is there is heightened angelic activity in your life now when we say there's heightened angelic activity doesn't mean now you are seeing fluffy beans around it doesn't mean when you sleep you see a white large being in in the dream all right what we are talking about means that angels largely are beginning to influence people to bring information to you right intelligence is coming your judge your life is just opened right through so new information people can just come and and hand you or write a book i remember once i've said this forward i was trying i got up and said look open a mainland island church i was struggling with it said you can go preach the emperor i said no no i'm not doing this and all of that i've felt the nudging inside my heart i said no no no no so somebody came to church they stole her phone i didn't know they told me later in the office was many ex-wifes even started lagoon church so i said yeah is that it i said all right they should buy her i don't know if it was the phone and told me and it wasn't a cheap phone so but i gave it to her all right and so she was shocked and came back and said i didn't believe that somebody would do that i just said it so that people the church should be carried you know you're going to replace the phone so she gave me a book and it was a book by bishop keith butler and i opened the book i started the book in my library i've now read it beyond those points i just opened and quebec said whatever god sent you to do you will give you grace for it it was the book of grace he said god told me that we should pass that a church in atlanta and that and i said okay so what will happen he said no you preached for service in detroit second service in atlanta and thought service in too so god provided a jet i would fly to i'll go from there to this today i just shot the book and said god i have seen what you are saying all right i have no i didn't go beyond that part in the book so pockets of information that's rain beginning to come to you and let me show this from scripture isaiah chapter 30 and verse 20 it says this isaiah 30 or let's even go to from verse 15 and quickly read it down isaiah 30 15. it says for thousands of the lord in returning and in rest that's getting into that race labor to integrate you are going to be saved in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength but you said no we will not verse 16. but you said we'll flee upon horses therefore shall you flee we'll ride upon the swift therefore they that pursuit shall be swift it says one thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one at the rebuke of five shall you fly unto your left as a beacon on the top of the mountain as an ensign upon the hill he said and therefore with the lord waits which means he he's waiting that he may be gracious unto you now this is where many people give up because they've tried everything they walk but he says he's waiting that he may be gracious poor grace therefore will he be exalted that he may have mercy on you for the lord is a god of judgment blessed are they that wait for him the people that dwell in zion thou shall whip no more he'll be gracious unto the voice of thy cry or prayer he will hear it that's your prayer and answer thee and what is the answer though the lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction yet shall not your teachers be removed into the corner anymore but your eyes shall see your teachers and your ears shall hear word behind this saying this is the way to go walk in it to the right and to the left now verse 23 it now says then shall he give the reign of thy seed so this teaching thing is the reign of that seed which means that your teachers pockets of information books this all right the reign of your said for example you're listening now and this your seed is being watered by what you're hearing you're refreshed so it empowers you you you might have you know when when you don't have water you've not taken it in brain i'm not you are weary so it refreshes you are energized and that's what happens you open the bible it's ministering to you rain is falling all right right upon that and it's angelic activity that is causing all that to happen i said in the previous service there's a book that i can't even remember how i stumbled on the book all right i was reading a book somewhere and they mentioned and this person mentioned this by his name that is the originator of this in terms of church expressions and so i went to look for i don't know i found out a book here i mean wrote this book and it was quite unbelievable because it's what people are even still trying to preach in the 40s and he was talking about 50s and he was talking about it and and you know and i was reading and i but before i even got it i bought it on the net and they couldn't because of nature that he couldn't send to niger because it was from some somebody reselling it so i sent it to a friend in england and he now called me said there's a book i said okay what's the opening package he says this he said there are two i said okay god don't take one you need to send me the other one and i said i read the book very powerful book but you see things begin to come angels begin to come and and people minister i started getting packets of information a little here a little there i mean i went to home country recently and i mean it doesn't seem spectacular but it was angelic manifestation because he just opened this country and just said okay everybody under certain conditions you can come we fill the form online you fulfill the condition they say you have to wait for the green tick which means the thing will be spinning like this when you enter the form and then you're waiting hoping that they will your paper and they have another green you can come but they tell you there upon arrival here you can go into current time for 14 days be raised on the discretion of the immigration officer and you are going to pay for it which means you just left nigeria to go and be quarantined locked up i mean what is that to come look at me what so for 14 days so you don't allow that thought come closer as you're going but finally when we got there you put your visa into the electronic system and then the paper comes saying that yes you can go and approach the immigration officer i i've never seen immigration when they were talking so much asking people question everybody asking questions like it was almost like a visa interview they were really asking questions because they just opened their country coffee and none of that and um now when our own paper came on my own it had x and i knew that was a problem you know when you see a problem you will know you may be denying it but you know that this thing doesn't look right ex-house so i looked at other people's forms and i saw the people coming from because i was fleeing from london all the people from london was right tick tick tick so i kept looking around so i saw people that looked different the flight came from some other places and i saw xxx ah i said so you tell us that we have been gathered as x well let us go and face what will happen here all right somewhere in the back of my mind i said if they say anything i just tell them the plane going back i'm going i can't go for today all right but when we got there so as i was going all right an angel appeared to me he said i said do you see fluffy no the woman in front of me actually wants to be one of influence because there's a protocol officer with her and caucasians don't do that except there's some security issues people protocols are standing on the queue they are understated people they don't like showing themselves all right it's resource that will pack protocol what do you know that i've been to the airport before this is why sometimes even the environment can tempt you and when i go to give because i left all my old passports and i dropped the new passport i had but he had visa of just two countries and those countries are countries where there is drug trade i didn't know so that's how they so the guy looked at you and said oh god take him in to for question so the guy took it he said what do you do i sorry pastor after talking to me he said he looks like a big guy he said to me oh god don't come to the airport like this now so that we can respect you you just walk like this that's why we're saying on this thing when you come come with fox that's what they say he said can you see that man call me we won't we won't talk to him anyhow that's just call we protocol everybody just come here they're the ones that put your bag in bring out the laptop for you put it we will know who you are you just let it go so sometimes when you see people doing something it's not that inside your heart they want to even the system tells you that you should do it all right some rifles happen i met somebody in england and you looked at me and said so um no no um you don't go through the customs like that now i said i do now i went for my luggage it was like ah hey mom so you two can start feeling that ah you know all right so i i she was in front and then she just raised the conversation i'm standing by myself and i heard the conversation because you know so it was an angel that must have just said so these people that do what if there's a problem the guy said no no no don't worry about another that you know folks once you are polite you smile you grin properly all right they kind of switch to your side ah i said i've got this the intelligence i said oh there good afternoon sir how are you sir i'm curious where are you from you know what i was saying how will you find the you know when i was about to make this show you know when this is this let me see this what's gonna just took the paper where they put x marked scratched it with red off took the password put green enjoy your stay in this country ah i said i saw where they were diverting people for current time the woman just said put up your password let me see whether you have green i said green i don't just have green pasta i agree with the company you can go in there all right oh let's cut you to somewhere so but i got that information are you following what i'm saying yeah that's how information will come to you packets of information some of the content somebody can just suggest somebody can just hear something it will come in beats there as angels do you get what i'm saying here are putting it in you can just put on the tv and someone just said something about colors and you realize that what you are doing with colors in your office is not right do you get what i'm saying here somebody just says something about dressing you realize that the way you are dressing you know even though this is how you are this is how i am from childhood but somebody just say something about dressing and you realize this is dressing here it's a problem do you get what i'm saying so you begin to all right as angels begin to minister them so you pray that and thoughts begin to come from heaven and spiritual information leading you into various things to act in certain ways to treat people in certain ways and that begins to come in every day and powering the vision that is on the inside of you then the final piece here 15 minutes to explain is efficient action and a whole load of christians uh missing out on efficient action because most people and it's so that's the way it's designed and not doing right now what their dream really is which means that you know i have a dream all right and and they're not you know they are not really doing their dream so there is a way it shows in what they do and when you do things in a certain way right then you can be repelling that which faith has brought to you efficient action means all right the things how you are doing the things where you are now no matter what it is that you are doing so somebody has this vision in their heart i'm going to have a global brand fashion branded all over the world and all of that that's a real dream but they're working somewhere as an administrator and the whole place you know doesn't seem and all of that and so what they are working on is when they say corresponding action what they are doing is all right who can i call you know who can i meet and all of that to try to make my vision and they neglect they are detached from what they are doing with their hands now they are non-challenged about it with what is before them efficient action is how you are whatever you are doing now has to be done with the spirit of excellence no matter what it is because it is directly connected to that vision that is inside your heart god in a sovereignty something pentecostals don't know is god's sovereignty one day i'm going to preach on power and government for you to hold power you must recognize god's sovereignty in other words god will take a person less intelligent and make him the head and you accept it is the sovereignty of god god reigns in the affairs of men gives the kingdom to whosoever wills you don't agree you go and spend time with the beast on the outside that's why many christians are not in the flow of things because they judge as to who is qualified and if they don't think you are qualified they pull out of it that's why some other people that may consider them less intellectual know how to hold power for if they give it to their brother beside them they will accept that's who god chose which way can i have yeah we'll be arguing with the brother find now to to to to deal with the brother of social media are you following him say that we don't understand power god reigns in the affairs of men and he gives the kingdom to whosoever he wills that's why you know well let's see but so we don't understand that so here all right we believe that this is not what i really want and so we are detached non-challenged about it and people therefore the way they walk the way they do things and they don't understand that when you put your faith out for something one in the scripture god brings the results to where you are everybody that jesus chose he chose them at the point of duty came to where they were and if they were not efficient in what they were doing they were at home do you see anybody who went to meet their home you are asleep let's go to ministry you don't do it because it's that same attitude you have you carry into every other thing you have done it's a spirit don't let it get into you even the people doing tax collector he was at his duty jesus said this is the kind of person we need are you from city he said this is the kind of person that we need follow me so people get nonchalant now what's efficient action whatever joseph is where he was that joseph didn't like what he was it was his efficiency in what he was doing that got him to become prime minister and many people are missing it because god is sending people people are coming into your space there but there is really you the way you are doing what you are doing there is no real efficiency and all of that because you are trying to get to or something they are trying to get through something else and so you are even detached from it so there is no commitment in the office there is no there is no there i mean i have i have i i mean i don't i don't i don't well let me don't just say it but i i am playing games i you know i have stuff and and i was going to say something else but i mean i was just sharing strategy meeting all the covenant radio that we are seeing today she's the one that developed it i just said something just took it up because of what she's doing i told her we bought online somewhere very strategic personally because i said i'm gonna we're going to build a television studio there there'll be radio internet televisions this thing you are doing in fact when they were doing that i said build a studio you can't just be doing like these days or do you build the studio behind that's how builders do put camera inside the put camera let's start recording it now because it won't just be covering radio to be covered on television and there things are going to do with it but it's it's not her profession it's not what she did what she was hired to do was something else it's not but let me tell you this all right days days there's what you call efficient which means you put your heart the bible says see is that a man diligent in his business he didn't tell us the type of business he tells us how he did it he shall stand before kings because and this is efficient action efficient action means you have made up your mind and it's your decision that you will give everybody that interacts with you either your career or your business they will get more in exchange all right in value than you receive in money in other words if you work in an office the value that you will deliver to the table will exceed how much you are being paid once you have that attitude you are made you cannot fail the second thing is you will treat everybody from the least to the greatest with respect i say you will not people don't have that attitude in other words if i have a business there right i will i mean if you go to this side here we give one side to do the cladding we give somebody else the other side this one on this other side is a tongue speaking christian this one is a muslim you see that there's no candy wind blew everything away fake products he goes to a senior church in this city speaking talk that's came to me you know when christians are talking too much i know this person but just be careful they are trying to use witchcraft on you to cover what you came here to do is walk why are you telling me about the prayer meeting you go for are you telling me how close you are to one man of god don't cover eyes that is an exchange value which means there is going to be life that they have received from you they give me money but what i will give in return so you go there even if they say that and this is the way you think that all we're supposed to do here is to clean chairs you go and research what cleanness can do for businesses when the environment is clean and you doing that you're going to start discovering other things you you go into the history that's you look at so that you come with your mind and you know that by the time all right no matter what they pay me i will give more in exchange that's efficient action now you know what happens is once you start walking that way your faith that is you are an administrator somewhere you are going into fashion design you can write what i'm saying now the person who will open up the door for you we'll walk into that office see your efficient action and build a relationship with you that will open up your door for something and what might happen again is when you are doing dubious things the person that should open the door now becomes the person who shuts the door what was joseph he was in jail his actions were efficient he became prime minister christians don't know this i see you say that you know when i get to my own vision i'll do it right listen if you wake up late for another person's walk you will wake up late when you start your own right now anything you allow to enter into you in your career stays with you wherever you go to don't allow it all right if you don't that's why jesus he doesn't play what if you are faithful in the thing of another man he says who all right if you're not who is going to give you your own thing not just god even man nobody will open those doors so do it and let there be you the the transaction there leaves people with life which means you gave more in value than you took all these successful people are you telling me that no matter what anybody pays now for mobile phone are you saying that the value that this thing has given to humanity does not exceed any amount anybody's given camera where on the internet how much do you pay the value that you get from it make something global somebody just told me he said somebody was watching from california if that wasn't there you'll be preaching to whoever is here that's all so the value check anything they give to humanity exceeds the labor saving devices if there was no plane do you know the value you said well i bought the ticket all right begin to walk to london or entire even we haven't hammered the charging for both just begin to go there just go on a horse you will know the value that they give to you by the time you get to timbuktu or mali there you you you you will see four different walls take me back they said you just sit down i had complaining look at this you didn't talk to me properly you don't know the value you are sitting on so give in exchange i mean a child did some work for us and when he said the work and gave the invoice before he started it i told him i said this guy i don't think he knows this work he knows his work i hope you understand maybe he wrote something wrong here this is too small she said she was one dream he said no problem when the guy finished the work he sent the same invoice because when he was doing it i said ah i know small about this business so even all these people he has brought he has to pay them no problem when he sent it was the same thing so i called him i said chief this is your invoice so he first thought maybe i'll say it was too expensive i said it's too small i don't think i've ever heard that kind of thing before i said no no you can't collect this now from me how can you take this it's too small and he said you know i did this i said even if you are doing offering we've received it then we give you back your isaac we have received it now god has honored your heart but here is it i almost paid him twice and not only that he has planted something in my heart for which i know how it works they see the video one day one day and it's not in this country somebody will ask me for something and i'll say hey i know the person why will i make that introduction because of that efficiency if that person behaved anyhow came after four weeks the thing was jumping up and down and they now tell you we need somebody there is no way god will allow you listen to me even when the demon is trying to tell you have mercy it's very demon the holy ghost will remind you you don't cast your powers before the swine nor give holy things to dogs this is not what mercy scripture is saying or else then you remind your proverbs don't go and vouch for a stranger deliver yourself or else you are going to be in trouble so everything stops the person is wanting efficient action ah someone says you know i want to marry you i'll say my name where someone sees you in church after sister and you two or brother and you're worshipping jesus jesus jesus jesus and they follow you they look at you ask somebody where does she walk over they've done all the arrangements finally they believe the lord is leading them they drive as they come to your vicinity you're outside let me warn all of you inside this apartment listen to me i'm one you don't know who i am when i start my madness for you the the guy gets there and he doesn't you won't even know that god tried for you because he has reversed and gone without talking so that you understand efficient action oh you're a guy and the lady says you've been talking and i said all right it's time to okay and i just see you come out of the company a dog your own doggo did something wrong you grab the neck let me tell you listen up break your neck immediately she just sees her own head in a lock been thrown that's the end except except a demon is following her for all intents and purposes they love acid you just pour on it shu is gone your calls will be going to voice me see what's up messages will just be going on replied all right so god your faith brings things to you efficient action that's the sickle causes you to bring it in somebody all right you see once you put that faith out you put that dream out i mean i mean you can look at it i can say all right we have a dream that covenant nation will be all over the world it will be in china so you have meditating saying chinese in your church yeah mexicans in nature but how are you going together you don't know how you get there but you know how it happens you make sure that every service you are supposed to preach you do everything you are supposed to do to impart life because it will be if it going to happen somebody in the congregation can have a boss that is chinese and the boss is a christian and you preach the message he goes back and to the boss and says and my pastor said he said hey all right where is your person he's on youtube now if you are preaching in an unwavering way today you preach well tomorrow you don't you don't know which one they will watch they go and watch you are saying vanity is vanity all is vanity you don't know what will happen in life only god knows ah is this the person that they say not only will you close a door you may be closing many things with it so don't do too many things but what you do do well let it spiritual i'm telling you this is the key let the spirit of excellence let your you know when there is no mind in work because human beings are intelligent listen when anything is inferior people are not putting their mind they're not paying attention every i've discussed something that many years ago everybody is intelligent once they put their mind into it it's because their mind is not there if you walk with me i can tell you who this mind has left the work i can i can try yourself this person mind that's gone person's mind is no longer here because if your mind is there there will be improvement every day there will be new ideas coming once those things are not there this person's mind is not listening all right and don't ever forget it's that field where you are with the efficient but if you start doing stuff you know just anyhow then what will happen all right you just start doing you know i gave an example i didn't know when i was preaching you know this preaching business with internet of a friend of mine that were inside oil and gas for service as i got down from the pulpit one of the indonesian sent me a message said we've been struggling with something in our career what he just preached just decoded it on efficient action i just heard it clarity came to us you everything you do is going somewhere do you get what i'm saying everything i'll close with this my baba and his efficiency look efficient action doesn't know tribe doesn't know language doesn't know race if you deliver on what you are doing i know it is not your dream but if you can deliver even jesus said he said he said you brought 10 talents from 10. he said now end time to the joy of the lord that means they were not in the job of lord and what they were doing but they did it properly end time to the joy i'm telling these records and services people don't know that everything you do everything you put out there all right that i mean somebody is coming to speak at love and i'm happy and when i heard i was very happy all right because the trap is brilliant but i spoke to somebody i said your friend is coming in america she's just very brilliant ah she said faster because we are very crucial he's very brilliant but i don't know about toku you know some people can write and do that but when he's speech before people he may not i said hey said so you know how to as i thought about it i know i will protect this and all of this to make sure you know how to arrange next and somebody in charge just sent me hey what's up and said what's this doesn't they know susan so coming has hired the coach to train him how to speak properly these are the tips they are giving him he's rehearsing because he knows the moment he knows he's standing before the country listen to me he can be a two-edged sword if you stand before the country and talk nonsense or you say it in the wrong way people can't be turned away from you that thought you were brilliant so it is a moment you have to use you just come i've invited somebody before somebody's father told him he said that is the problem of your generation that guy is brilliant but can you see scattered ill-prepared if it's our generation we'll come prepared he said he's just talking like he knows stuff you'll be bullied he said but he's all over the whole place he said that's the problem of you the people you are brilliant but you are not prepared you don't understand the moment now that person said it after i heard me too and i know this wasn't about please don't don't don't don't it's over so you must understand all right moments there when when i mean course my brother is caught in my headphone and so one day he just came to me that i will help this man so i told him give me your number your what's up number everything address of your business he came to got my hair in my house i told my wife record it i said i'm going to put this video out on instagram be ready be ready be ready 12 noon

because you can't give and take with the other hand so this but he told me said he hasn't seen any advertisement that has done this in fact he in fact he told me he showed me something you know people got in social media they came to meeting with a company this is baba we're a company we can help you with your branding we will create give our social media handle we'll be the ones posting pictures i say look at this one now you now know that we have those you are now and then you'll be taking ten percent of everything it costs that's what you're saying why didn't you go and brand it for him to get to that level when he saw somebody else put him that level you know i want to plant i said well bro would you like that and this i mean he told me his story he said look said there was a chap he used to cut for he didn't even know just saw a huge guy walk into his office i called him by his name he said what was this he said you don't remember told him where his mother was when i was four they used to bring me used to cut my hair and then we moved to somewhere else i've been looking for you for years he's going past suppose you put it that happened if i told me about one place he went to i think he was at that parkview estate or baron that they invited him there he said they said everybody here you if you do what pass up what you said everybody here you'll be cutting their hair say muscle like how long but doors are opening up for him from it are you telling me that means i took my capita built over yes and handed it to him which cutting will he do that will access all of that are you following my followers everything comes about 1.6 million people i just took all of that now somebody said sending me a message and we do this we do i said huh i'm not an advertiser this is covenant are you from sydney and if you do things efficiently so this is a message of repentance repent on the way you have been doing work when you get to the office tomorrow dust the tableware dress properly look they see particularly for men they know from the way you dress whether you have given up on life this is what i'm telling you is i'm telling the truth whether you have given up when you dress they know and from your walk you do just like that i'm finished are you following what i'm saying here it's like a dead log that they are going to be that's what nobody wants to hire that all right and then put it in and don't say after two weeks i did efficient action nobody came to me it is a culture it is a lifestyle father in the name of jesus christ we thank you for your award and by the power of your spirit i ask that you establish us in this truth expand it within our consciousness in the name of jesus amen platform will be on the first offer but you know somebody sent me a message it's a british man he's an economist he sent me a message and said to me sometime early in the year that the chief economics of new york city was in a conversation he has the and he's a nigerian he has ideas about the nation and he feels he can transform with those ideas the economy of this country if they implement them and in their discussion and i'm not their friend i've never met him this man have not seen into that they said platform is what we feel we can use this efficient action the program that he gave to me if i show you is a program that will and it says supervised by platform it says if you agree we'll have offices in beijing in ottawa in new york and in london as if i say we are going with this the thing is transformed into a global team none of it is my relationship it is his work globally that he looks and says we can trust this person do you understand whoever told them must have been somebody that told them you get this somebody was high-ranking person in government told somebody in this church he said you cannot i understand covenant cannot be penetrated you know when politicians say that what they are saying is that money can't get us anything in this thing we are saying this platform somebody has sent office from the office of a governor in this state and said they won't they want to speak how they answered it and they went from a key person in ministry to get my idea answered them because that's not how i operate and when you do things other people know do you get what i'm saying so do things efficiently do things the right way put integrity still pays even thieves if they steal money they need somebody of integrity to keep it with them they won't look for a thief even those who are stealing need an honest person to supervise what they have stolen or else that's why they carry the money to places where people of integrity are there and follow the legal framework so if we sign agreements for secrecy they will keep to it so you even need the honest person to try to help so integrity pays do you get what i'm saying god bless you shall we stand up to our feet first timothy 4 13 this is a conversation paul was having with his son in ministry he says until i come devote yourself to public reading which is which means he was giving him precepts he says devote yourself to public reading of scripture to preaching and teaching verse 14 verse 14 it says do not neglect your gift which was giving you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you this is the clean channel verse 15. it says be diligent in these matters give yourself only to them so that everyone may see your progress this afternoon we're going to pray for the grace to be diligent there are people who have invested their lives into us training us on how to be to have to be a person of integrity to be truthful to respect and all of those things we're going to ask for the grace to be diligent in our place of work we're going to ask for the grace to be diligent in our marriages we're going to ask for the grace to be diligent to teach our children a right let us begin to pray let us begin to pray and ask for the grace to be diligent to be diligent in the work of our hands to be diligent in our marriage to invest in our marriage to to invest in our children to invest in the things god has placed in our hands begin to ask for the grace to be diligent ask for that grace to be diligent in all the things god has placed into your hands ask for the grace to be diligent ask for that grace to

grace in jesus name exodus 35 10 exodus 35 verse 10 and he says all who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the lord has commanded all who has killed among you so they only call the people who are skilled so there is the favor of god the favor of god works based on skill the favor of god works it does it just doesn't work it works based on what you can bring to the table so we're going to ask god this moment for skill we're going to ask god to teach us how to war he says i'm the one who teaches you how to uh that you bend a bow all right so we're going to ask god for the skill

why we would like you to fill our form online use the link bit dot ly forward slash tcn ecom have a great week ahead my name is dolapoy and i joined for the first time the ceo's community group but interestingly i'm not a member of communal nation so i heard a message this year my passport was talking about the strategy for the church and what was interesting for me was what he said about um you know the fact that being in the same group as people who have the same interests showing how it is actually answered prayer i remember him sharing a testimony about a lady who had been struggling at work and she joined the community group and because of the things she had learned she had been in that organization for surgeon people have you actually been here it it was interesting for me but i think more importantly was the fact that i actually acted on it because all night i just said okay that's their church you know but i think it was it was god okay straightening it because i have been preparing myself for a role you know and it just resonated i just went and said checking and i saw the ceo group i said okay i was part of the ceo community group i served as a stand governor in the last semester for me what strikes me most is opportunity for ceos to gather together people of like minds with the same values and of course the same faith to look at how we can leverage from one another how we do business learn from one another also share notes encourage one another and also be able to learn from people that have done things that we are doing or we're trying to do for me it's the beauty of the diversity um i it's an amazing collection mix of people from different backgrounds different careers different experiences all coming together to share what they've learned i'll give an example so in the parenting community group you had parents with newborn you had two to three year olds you had the five year old seven ten so in the parents community group we had parents with children who've had experience over several years so for me without that that that's really unique my name is paul umbre and i was part of the senior managers community group too my name is julia adeyemi i was part of the governance group my name is francis farka and in the previous session i was in the senior managers group amongst us you could basically find solutions to any problems you had at that level i mean there were contacts there were people that i met that i know i was going to need sometime in the future we never know how life turns out you know some of us who end up doing business together some of us will end up working as colleagues in the future so it was quite uh quite interesting for me contacts very very important uh as you know as as we as i guess as most of us know at the level of a senior manager it's not really about what you know anymore it's running about who you know it's really it's really political you see that's yeah that's where it seems to work your magic as well so i was talking about the impact of which is the knowledge here and the kind of knowledge is of those who are actually doing the things you want to do coming to share knowledge you know one of the impacts i take example from having a shayardis who is a member of the house of assembly universities coming to talk to us about christian participation in politics you know and all of the worries you have about the process i know that someone who had gone through it and would do not compromise his faith coming to tell you that this is the way to go about it and all of that so that can become very motivating for you even if you are discovering somebody who has worked that part is coming to tell you what to do you've been able to leverage any of the relationship that you started from yes for instance in the project management institute nigerian chapter which i'm president we are having our conference in november right so i was able to um leverage on a group leader to be one of the speakers right so i had that and then other project managers who were in that senior community group had the opportunity to join the local pmi chapter i gave them free 30 dollar code right they were like amazed right and they didn't they didn't know that that existed right and i was like hey i'll send the code three dollars join the membership of local chapter and then they did so for me it really made a meaningful impact in our own group we have uh book reviews we have interesting presentations where we actually learn from each other's industry and actually rub mine together and broaden our mind together and see how we can work together collaboratively to actually you know spin up projects or deals that may actually come off the community group makes me feel really good i have three words blessed favored and fortunate i have felt empowered it's been impactful for me it's been life transforming i felt like i had a think tank team and a mastermind team combined in one space so for me that was like amazing if you read the book of arts you know after jesus had gone and left the disciples from you know here on earth the bible says that they're breaking bread from house to house another way of looking at it is that they were having a lot of fellowship with themselves it doesn't just connote eating it also meant they were sharing life experiences they were encouraging themselves they were advising themselves and i think that is what that is what being the community group actually helps to achieve i'm encouraging you to go on www dot tcn community [Music] and join a community group there's a community group for everyone [Applause] so [Music] you
