GENERATIONAL THINKERS

[Music] you maybe see that in heavenly places it's good to be with you [Music] [Music] what we are [Music] [Music] one more time sing it everybody with your hands lifted up [Music] what we are [Applause] [Music] amen generational thinkers living a life beyond yourself understanding and realizing that you were born for such a time like this in the history of humanity to make an impact to be a game changer that you are a miracle you are a wonder you are a sign you are not just anything and you are not just anybody and you are not ordinary you are unique you are special you are somebody you are a game changer you are on an assignment you are a wonder you are a miracle you are not ordinary i want you to believe that and put your hands together for that if you do believe it i've heard people ask me as i travel the nations of the world what is wrong with the black man is the black man curse and by my research over the years come to realize that the black man was never cursed by god right from the book of genesis when man sinned against god man was not cursed god cast the earth or the ground for the sake of man and he said for thy sake the ground is cursed the blood of jesus did not redeem the earth but it redeemed man and that's why titan is a very important principle and how many of you here are the seed of abraham give me a wave of rain at the seat of abraham if you are the seed of abraham you must never have problem with titan because abraham prayed tied by revelation and not by law see i tied by revelation and not by law tell somebody i tied by revelation and not by law because i'm the seed of abraham and and jesus said if you are the seed of abraham you will do the works of your father abraham and if abraham blessings are yours then you shouldn't have a problem of following your father's steps or example and doing what your father did so stop arguing about the titan and stop subjecting the tide to the music era or the dispensation of the law because it was before the law and i believe that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden of eden was the tithe was god's tithe when he said set it apart unto me and it is holy and god said you have access to everything on the planet you can command the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air and everything upon this earth but this tree is my type you don't touch it it's mine and whenever you come around this tree it reminds you of my sovereignty there is somebody bigger greater and higher than you and that is my don't touch it and man still decided that everything god had given to man was not enough and that they would touch what belongs to god and that is what happens to those who don't hide it's like the 90 is not enough the 10 also that god said is set apart and it's a statement of recognition and submission and honor and reverence to me that i am your source and that i deserve to be honored by the time and it's a principle and not the amount or the money but is the principle of acknowledging one of acknowledging the fact that i am sovereign and i created all things and all things are subject to me and i am sovereign and god said i will honor them that honor me and those who dishonor me i will despise and so when we time it's a statement of honor a statement of reverence and acknowledgement that god you are my source and that 10 stands for redemption so when we give the first 10 we redeem the 90 sanctify the 90 and empower the 90 and free the 19 from the curse of the earth to make it fruitful so the 90 can multiply and if the 90 is not enough what would the tent do for you it still comes to the greed of man that for whatever reason the enemy never came on the scene until god established the rules and said you have access to everything but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and it looks like the tide has always been an issue for believers of all ages for whatever reason everything that was performed in the old testament whether it's praise whether it's worship whether it's prayer whether it's fasting whether it's communion whether it's healing you name them everything is done and continues in the new testament the only thing we set aside to the old testament is the tides because with the tight is very specific god said this is what i require of you and i require and demand your obedience and i want you to know you are a steward of everything you have the tithe makes you remember the fact that you are a steward and that you are steward of everything you have and the possessor of nothing it makes you accountable to me and we say god i don't want to be accountable i want to be a free man i'll do my own thing and i want to serve you on my times and god said you don't serve me on your terms you save me on my terms and the tights make you responsible and reminds you that is the first 10 that's why if you spend money of your money and tight after you have spent on the money god does not accept that tithe because he wasn't honored and reverent god said the tithe is under the principle of fasting that i confess before you pay your bills i come first before you pay your debt i come first before all things so whether it's personal or corporate if you acknowledge me first then i will accept it but if you do all things and later you pay the 10 percent i don't need it i don't want it because you didn't reference me you didn't respect me that's the difference between king and abel and they'll say that but is the black man case and i said no because when i studied the genealogy of noah after the flood i realized that even after ham ke ham uncovered his father's nakedness and betrayed his father when he awoke from his drunkenness and sleep he did not care harm because in genesis 9 and 1 the bible said then god blessed noah and his sons and because god had blessed noah and his sons and said unto them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth noah couldn't cast what god had blessed so he didn't curse he didn't catch harm he went to the last born of ham canaan and case canaan and said cast be canaan for servant of servant shall he be we came from kush and the word kush in the bible means the man with the dark skin that's where we came from and kush was not cash he wasn't blessed but he was in case so the black man was not cursed so if we are not cursed in africa has resources than any other continent upon the face of the earth what is our problem why are we impoverished and i've come to a conclusion for the last 41 years of preaching as i've watched whether in the church on the business scene on the political async corporation i've come to one conclusion that our problem is selfish thinking and selfishness survivor of the fittest and as long as we continue having that selfish mind and thinking we will never make an impact we will never touch we will never advance we will never improve on our world and our generation and the generations hereafter shall not remember us and there is a possibility that generations to come may curse us because we had an opportunity to improve on their life by making decisions taking making choices today and sacrifices today for their benefits and we fail to do it there are families in africa here who will go to see a juju man a baba law and they will say that the thing you are asking for we can do it but if we do it for you all the women in your bloodline will never marry and they'll say that is good it's okay go ahead and do it and they'll sell and seat future generations unborn their pleasure their comfort for their game there are people in our families and in our society who don't want anybody to outsound them and to be better than them but that is not god's plan for your life you are born to make a difference you have come into the world for such a time like this for a reason you are a game changer but you never amount to anything as long as it is just about you your wife and your children and your immediate family you will never make an impact for god is not in the business nor interested in blessing you for you he blesses us for the benefit of others and until your blessing affects the life of others beyond your immediate family you are not blessed god never intended that anything he does for you and i or gives us should be about you and i and that is the problem on the continent of africa when i studied the past leaders of africa from the mobutu to others except people like the nursing mandela and the common groomers you cannot trace their legacies people like the arbiles were wealthy in their days mega major mega mega moguls financial mughals and billionaires and after they are dead for whatever reason their wealth ended with them the legacy did not continue because for whatever reason they failed in being generational thinkers and they felt in planning for the next generation it doesn't matter what you say about common crime you may have your own political issues with him i'm not a politician i'm just saying what i've seen but for whatever reason look at the motorway the motorway was not built for his children nor his grandchildren he did it for the benefit of ghanians yet unborn see i hear you potoka international airport across from godham te mahabo and many other things he did he did it for the benefit of generations yet on board he lived 50 years ahead of his generation that is what i'm talking about what are you living for come on somebody put your hands together and give god some praise and a shout in the house [Applause] there are people who live and die and had opportunity to impact their community their village their society and they never did anything to impact anybody because they live for themselves can you please live a life of doing something for the benefits of others and not just yourself and your immediate family come on somebody put your hands together and give god some praise and shout yes in genesis 12 and 2 god said to abraham i will bless you he said and make of be a great nation i will bless thee and he said i will make your name great and thou shalt be a blessing period god said i'm gonna make you i'm gonna bless you so you can be a blessing what does that mean it means that this blessing god has for you and i it goes beyond you and your immediate family and until people beyond the immediate family becomes blessed because of you and until you become the point of reference of the blessing of others you are not successful and you are not blessed you are selfish and selfishness is the mother of all sin selfishness is the mother of all sin and that is the problem in africa whether we be preachers or whether would be corporate people or politicians don't matter who we are we are programmed to be that way doesn't matter the school we attended for whatever reason we fight from the village over two three meat on this under on the fufu three four people eat from one plate and everybody has to fight for themselves to get a little bit of the meat and we go to the beds of school raise up in a very good and great communities and we come back with that same mindset of looking for ourselves and looking out for our own and we never fight for anybody it's about us survivor of the fittest and until we break loose from that thinking and mentality and become generational thinkers to plan for future generations and not live comfortable today at the expense of future generations we may be cursed by future generations today i challenge you and i dare you to be a generational thinker to think about next generation to plan for generations you are done born to be somebody that generations to come we rid of you the life you lead the impact you made and that they will praise the lord that once upon a time one like your kind and your type did leave and walk the face of the head is anybody hearing me put your hands together and give god some praise proverbs chapter 13 verse 22 a good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children children's children and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just she get it here in order to answer a wise man or a wise woman leaving an inheritance to his children's children's children so this is not about you it's not about your immediate family it's bigger than you you are responsible for the blessing of two three four generations of people you are responsible to pass on the baton and to keep the legacy going on from one generation to another generation to another generation and the legacy goes on why is everybody going to the west what is everybody running to america because the founding fathers were generational thinkers they planned a nation for years hundreds of years ahead of them that even after they are gone the decisions they made legislations and decrees and laws they made is preserving and making a nation great after hundreds of years until we have generational thinkers there is no hope for the next generation until we stop being selfish and thinking about just us and our kids immediate family we are under a curse if you and i will rise up on the right side of victory we have to stop being selfish and thinking about us and become generational thinkers and planets that we will have a people on this continent that will rise up and build future generations that our children may not suffer the next 50 years if jesus carries because we were generational thinkers and planets living for generations yet unborn and not for ourselves i don't know how you want to be remembered and i don't know the kind of life you are living and you want to live but i dare you to stop living for yourself stop thinking about you and remember that there is a book written of you in eternity long before time began that you are not here by chance not by mistake that you are here for such a time like this to fulfill purpose and assignment and destiny and a mandate from god there is a book written of you and every day week month and year that goes by god opens the book to see what chapter of your life are you fulfilling [Applause] and it doesn't matter how long you live and what this head one day you will stand before the creator and you will account to him what you did for the life giving you the time you had the resources and the influence and everything you had whether you used it as it was required of you or it was just about your comfort or it was just about you people who live this life and all they do is think about their survival their comfort in themselves they never impact anybody they never make any difference nobody remembers them when they die mother teresa everybody talks about her because she lived their life for the benefit of others and not herself there are people there who are going to walk this earth and leave this earth and nobody will remember them and when they stand before adonai they will be divinely disapproved because they were selfish self-centered had no compassion had no heart didn't care about their community their environment their society their generation it was all about them if everything that comes in your mind whenever you have money is to buy a brand new car and go on vacation and build a house in dubai buy a house there's nothing wrong about that you have a house i said dude have it but at least make an impact bless somebody impact the life of somebody's children before you eat you must care about your driver do you care about your watchmen do you care about your security people nessie mandela was visited by a businessman and when the man came he went out to meet him and he asked the man did you come alone and he said yes i came along but he came with a driver but he said he came along because a driver was a known entity who is a driver he doesn't exist he's a driver he's not a human being so nelson mandela sat down to eat when it was time for the meal he excused himself and went out there and called the driver to join them for the meal and when they were leaving the driver thanked his boss say thank you for inviting me to have a meal with the president and he was honest and said i didn't invite you to join for the meal it was a president that did but that says a lot how your driver that drove you to the president's house is perceived and defined by you i came along that means the driver don't exist it's not a human being by the day you sleep you fall asleep in that car and the driver decides to jump out of that car and leave you on your own that is when you know whether he's a human being or not i'm talking about a president that had this guy who writes for him and the guy was a brilliant writer and every time he writes for him people would stand and would clap for this president and everybody believed in his speech but it was written researched and written by someone and this particular day the guy got tired of this president so he wrote the speech the first line and the guy was busy he came in late he didn't take time to go through everything so he read the first paragraph and everybody was excited standing ovation clapping and he said now ladies and gentlemen let me now go to the business of the day and he flipped the page and he had written there your excellency mr president you're on your own [Applause] and for whatever reason for whatever reason he read what was on it your excellency mr president you all know and everybody was looking at him he didn't know what what to say from that point he got stuck on your own because you always take the credit and never give credit to the man that does the research and writes your speeches messy mandela said you may think you came alone but the car didn't drive you here a human being drove you here and he's a human being when you are eating with your children and your wife remember the doctor remember your driver remember the security and the guardian boy in the mid-seventh of your house stop giving them the crumbs and feed them also with the same food you are eating [Applause] selfish thinking we need to be deprogrammed reprogrammed and rewired we need a paradigm shift are you hearing me somebody touch somebody and say touch your head touch your head touch your head you need a paradigm shift something got to shift in our thinking in america people build roads they do things for communities and it is named after them for some of you the only thing that will be named after you is the house you build that's it but people are building communities roads and doing things for community and is named after them you go to a whole place and people their names after people streets after people communities after people what will you be remembered of the dressing your dress your shoes how beautiful or handsome you looked how powerful you were no the world won't remember you for that you'll remember you for things you did not for immediate family but to profit and benefit your community your city your nation you are a game changer i'm telling you and i want you to look at me you may not look like a game changer because of your present circumstances but hear me jesus was born in a manger your immediate circumstances and the circumstances surrounding your geographical location where you were born has nothing to do with potential or destiny potential is what you are capable of which you haven't yet fulfilled are you hearing me barack obama is first black president of the united states of the free world he sat in that office for eight years a black man like you and i you are capable and you are up to the tax you can make a difference you can do something to impact your wealth you can change your circumstances you can make a difference but you can never make a difference as long as you keep thinking about you and your immediate family you never amount to anything i dare you to break loose i dare you to think out of the box i dare you to come up with innovative ideas there is something in you that will never come alive as long as you are thinking about school fees how you gonna pay your bills how are you going to get your business going people who think that will never make it in life if you are clapping do it come with me look at some scriptures come with me to genesis 18 17 and 19 quickly let's go through our scriptures quickly and the lord said shall i hide from abraham that which i do saying that saying that abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him you see the reason for becoming great and mighty nation is because i'm designing it that way i programmed you to be a nation to be a blessing to be mighty so that through your greatness and through the blessing i put on you others nations all over will be blessed god never intends to bless any one of us for us it's always about the benefit of others and i'll let you see that way you will never impact anybody anything i expect my biological and spiritual sons and daughters to do better than i to be wiser than i to be greater than i are you hearing me somebody that is the way it's supposed to be jesus said greater works greater ways than i did shall you do elisha did more than elijah the father joshua did more than moses and that is the way it is designed to be i want all my biological and spiritual sons and daughters to be better than me are you hearing me somebody yeah so for i know him i know him but he will command his children and his household after him and they shall keep the weight of the lord to do justice and judgment that the lord may bring upon abraham that which he has spoken of him so the condition under which god will fulfill his promise towards you and i and abraham was this that abraham was a generational thinker and a planner that the legacy will continue after him that whatever blessing god gave to him won't die and end with him but it will continue after him where is the second and third generation of wealth on this continent when we're growing up there are names i don't want to mention that well financial murders of our day and of our time and when they passed and they died it ended with them the legacy ended in their grave and did not continue with their sons and their daughters and their grandchildren and what happened was they fought their children fought against each other destroyed one another what is wrong with us we are not cast it's a mentality and we need to rethink we need to be rewired we need paradigm shift we need to think out of ourselves and begin to be a people who care about generations yet unborn you are here for such a time like this to impact your wealth and irrespective of the color of your skin who you think you are your educational background where you live right now your present status and conditions of life has nothing to do with what you are capable of doing if you dare believe god and change your way of thinking i've studied people like the rocky fellas j.c penney the owner of walmart coca-cola colgate and many others who are corporate titles of this generation how they came from nowhere and by the principles of tithing trusting god proving god for themselves how they became more time billionaires and give more to the kingdom and for the benefits of humanity than be kept when they die and their legacies have continued and some of you you don't have anything some of you are fighting you are fighting to pay crumbs to god as if god is interested in your crumbs on your money even those low debt who are moguls they don't struggle to tight and to prove god you don't don't have anything you think somebody is looking for your money tightening is not about the money it's a principle of submission accountability re reminding yourself that you are steward of everything in the possession of nothing and it reminds you that you're on the authority that god is suffering and he's the possessor of the heavens and the head and there is nothing that you have that is yours that you are under authority and you don't have the right to serve god on your terms you either do it on his terms or you have nothing come with me to joel chapter one verse three tell ye your children of it and let your children tell their children and their children another generation my god that is what i'm talking about pass it on tell somebody pass it on pass it on come on talk to me say pass it on pass it on press on the baton pass on the blessing pass on the knowledge of god don't let this thing die or end with you pass it on from one generation to another generation that's why everybody is running to the west we like what we see there but a generation before this generation took decisions leave us a sacrificial life a selfless life and visionary leadership to allow for their country years and decades after them to still do well we need to have a national vision and a dream and everybody must dream a dream bigger than yourself martin luther king was a great a great dreamer a leader of the civil rights in his day and he said i have a dream i have a dream that one day my little children will not be judged by the color of their skin but they will be judged by the content of their character i have a dream do you have a dream turn to somebody and say ask them do you have a dream tell them your dream is possible your dream is possible no dream is easy no dream is come on if that dream is smaller and if it's not bigger than you it's not from god every dream must be bigger than you and that is what that is what makes it a dream from god are you hearing me somebody dreams do come to pass when dreamers dare to hold on against all odds and all controversy and adversity to still believe in the dream that dreams do come to pass are you hearing me somebody tell somebody your dream is still possible tell it to your children and your children's children and to another generation pass it on my god almighty if jesus started the next hundred years i want to have and to see many actors of duncan williams all over the earth everywhere in this world every corner i sat in the car the other day with my driver and i had some people preaching and praying and i was very scared they sounded like me i couldn't believe it i said no you can't me make somebody like this they were even better than me myself and i had one say and the bible and i said wow are you hearing me and i said i said this is very dangerous you know with the way things happen this day you can get one of them go stand somewhere sound like me and be talking to this nice chick in the corner i can't sound like me and i said no this is dangerous are you hearing me somebody they make me better than myself then they sent me a tape and i saw this guy he came to see me in my office lord have mercy sounds like me moved like me have my charisma and audacity and i said what is this turn to somebody say what is this what is this on one hand it bothered me but on the other hand i said to myself who cares who cares amen that is what i'm talking about when people mimic you and want to be like you at least it's a blessing second timothy two two second timothy two two and the things that thou has heard of me among many witnesses the same commits out to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also tell somebody pass it on pass it on oh tell somebody let the legacy continue let the legacy continue pass it on people leave die go to their graves with great giftings and dreams to their grave and never impact anybody you know why they either get discouraged been had offended become unforgiving or die with this mentality of me selfish mentality if you think that way you go to your grave with everything you were born with for the benefit of humanity elijah went to the grave with power to raise the dead and years after a man died and they sent his body to that same grace and the bones of the dead man resurrected the man that was dead what was that power to raise the dead doing in the grave you are not allowed to die until you impact the world you are not allowed to leave this world with anything god gave you for the benefit of humanity are you hearing me somebody turn to somebody and say you are not allowed to die you are not allowed to die you are not allowed to die it will be a disgrace and an embarrassment to the human race for you to leave this earth with anything god gave you for the benefit of humanity the only reason why it's all about you is because of the way you are wired and programmed but today i break you loose today i command the embargoes on your imagination to be lifted for it is written now god is able to do accidentally abundantly far above everything you can ever ask for not imagine tell somebody imagine imagine imagine imagine imagine big things imagine great things give somebody a high five and say you are a game changer you are a game changer i don't know what to tell you to believe that you're a game changer but when the bible says eyes have not seen no he has head neither has entered the hands of men what god has planned for those who love him i came to tell you it means that what god has planned to do with you has never been done before what god is about to do with you if only you believe has never been heard of before is anybody hearing me if you believe in child yes if a little bit shout yes shout here [Applause] the people who impact their world and this world and do great things if you check their background they were nothing they weren't born from great families no they came from nothing came from nowhere but they dare to believe that they have something to offer humanity you have something to offer somebody i'm telling you you have something you are held responsible for a generation by god and you may not have anything right now but having nothing not even have food to eat when you go home right now don has nothing to do with potential and destiny there was a man by the name of gideon a mighty man of valor sat under a tree minding his own business an angel of the lord was dispatched to step out of time out of eternity into time to the geographical location where he was sitting under a tree and the agent is a mighty man of valor and he looked around and said who are you talking to and the angel said you and he said you angels you make a lot of mistakes you live in eternity and you don't understand that we live in time your thinking is different from ours and the angel said you're a mighty man of allah you deliver israel he said who deliver israel you or me the angel said you he said angel let me let me help you to understand what you're talking about number one i'm from the family of manasseh we are the poorest of the poor in manasseh even the poor calls us poor so i think you are making a mistake here and the angel ignored him and said go in this thy mind and you deliver israel he was looking at his circumstances and the angel was looking at his potential are you hearing me you are a potential game changer you are present here wonder and a miracle say yes say yes then then hear what he said he said he said if god be with me like you are saying mighty man of father the lord is to you if the lord be with me where are the miracles of old and where are the wonders for our fathers have told us of the wonders of god and we haven't seen it in our day then psalm 44 david said all for our fathers have told us of the wonders of old and how you smug the enemies before them patted the red sea and made them walk on the dry land oh lord god almighty these are my days and this is my time do it again my god almighty i'm sick and tired of what god did in the days of all i'm sick and tired of hearing of the wonders of god in the days of a allen in the days of jackal in the days of catherine kumar in the days of john g lake and in the days of alexandra dawy this is my day he's the same yesterday he's the same today he's the same tomorrow and i miss our encounter with god right now that i might pass the baton on to my children if anybody hearing me come and say yes put your hands together and give god a praise in the house you may not look like anything right now don't look like anything right now but your look and your present circumstances has nothing to do with god with what god has planned for you you think if the jailer in nursing mandela's prison any of the waters if any one of them had a clue and knew that that man there number so so and so it was a particular number he didn't even call him nelson or mandela they called in numbers so so and so if any one of them had a clue that this man potentially his destiny program to be one of the greatest wisest president of the continent of africa they would have been so nice to him but i have not seen tell somebody you don't even know who you are sitting next to you don't know who you are sitting next to you you know even if you're sitting by your husband and your wife tell him honey honey you really don't know me you you don't know me honey you think you do but you don't know me just because you've seen my nakedness don't mean you know me you don't know me because my nakedness have nothing to do with my potential are you hearing me somebody wait till god is finished with me come on somebody put your hands together and shout here you know david's brothers and sisters did not know that david the mother didn't know that he was a king the father didn't know that he was a king their siblings didn't know that he was a king when the prophet came they brought everybody forward that they thought was qualified left david at the backside of the desert you know something the reason why people despise you don't take you serious reject you is because you are the stone that the builders must reject and hear me you are designed to become the chief cornerstone so you don't fit him and you must not fit him ah because you are chosen is anybody hearing me the stone that the builders rejected have become the chief cornerstone i may not look like anything right now i may not look like i'm going somewhere right now but wait a little longer let god finish with me let god finish with me and i will imagine victorious i will emerge with an upper hand and he will look at me and say how did it happen then it shall be said we will like them that dream when the lord turned against our captivity is anybody hearing me can i announce to you that god is about to turn somebody's captivity if you believe it put your hands together shout the earth [Applause] chronicles first chronicles about 22 verse 5 and 6. and david said solomon my son is young and tender and the house that is to be builded for the lord must be exceeding magnifical of fame and of glory throughout all countries i will therefore now make preparation for it so david prepared abundantly before his death then he called for solomon his son and charged him to build an house for the lord god of israel hear me this was a generational thinker and a generational planner he planned future for future generations before his death he said this was something he should have done but he's not allowed to do it because of the timings and seasons of god so he said i'll prepare for the next generation what have you prepared for the next generation when we are writing our wheels we write our wheels and it's a very selfish wheel because in the wheel all we do is to give everything to our children and our grandchildren we never make provision for the house of god we never make provision for the ministry we don't make a provision for our community everything goes to our children sometimes children are living they don't even believe in your god they don't want to have anything to do with the god who bless you and yet you take the blessing of god and give it to children who don't even believe in god and love him selfish wills don't leave anything for the ministry and say i'm going to heaven you are going away heaven where jesus is waiting for you tell somebody he is waiting for you you will account and you you give an account he will ask what did you leave for my church what did you live for the continuity of my church that shows you your will really reveal how selfish you are i'm telling you we're very selfish people change your will if you haven't done anything for the ministry call your lawyer tell him i want something to go to the church the reason why some of your children won't save god is because after you die they want to see the will quickly and when they read the will they see that everything you you did in your will was for them nothing for the church they also you see this grandfather and grandmother they were playing with god messing with god they didn't give they believe in for god because your last testament revealed where your heart is and if you had rallies for god and then you leave something for the continuity of the ministry on earth the fact that you don't leave anything and give anything to the church shows who you were that you were using god and you really didn't care about god responsibility is to make you think and to challenge you change your mentality rewire your thinking psalm 22 verse 30 and 31 a seed shall save him it shall be accounted to the lord for a generation they shall come and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born that he have done this a seat shall serve him and they will be held responsible for a generation tell somebody do you know that god is holding you responsible for generation you tell somebody do you know that you and you are held responsible by god for a generation you yeah we were never born to be blessed for us it's always about the benefit of others whether it is giftings or anointings or skills or money or influence is always about the benefit of others there's too much of selfish thinking in the church in the house nobody does anything for god free anymore nothing nobody does anything free everybody is doing something for money everybody is doing something for recognition we do things to be seen to be known and as long as we have that kind of mentality we will never accomplish anything i'm looking for people who are willing to use their giftings and their talents and their anointings and influence for the benefit of others you are held accountable for a generation and you can say it think it handle it any way you want to but one day there come a day in your life that you will have to account to your maker and the things i'm telling you today you'll be asked and your eyes will be open when you stand in eternity and you will see that everything you ever needed to fulfill that assignment was available but it was never made available because you were always thinking about you and your immediate circumstances and you were selfish and because you were selfish god will never open your eyes to see what is available but if you become selfless and you fight for that cause that dream is a possibility so keep dreaming it put your hands together give god some prayers psalm 71 verse 18 and now also when i am old and gray-headed oh god forsake me not until i have shown thy strength unto this generation and thy power to everyone that is to come here was david praying when you hear people pray for prosperity and long life prosperity for what long life forward why do you want to live long and why do you want to prosper what is your motive just to live long and to prosper for what but prosperity is for a course and a reason long life is for a course and a living a reason that was all david david was praying he said god when i am old and gray-headed don't give me up to the will of my enemies don't forsake me don't hand me over to the imagination of those who devise my demise on my head but stay with me be with me keep me preserve me keep me alive until i've impacted my generation and even them that are to come i don't want to leave this world without a generation to come being impacted and i don't want to leave the sin because i'm old i want to live the scene because i've impacted my generation and the generations to come see i hear you come on say i hear you that was the prayer of david say when i'm old and gray-headed i don't want to check out of here until i fulfill my purpose i want to fulfill this purpose before i stand before you that when i stand before you on that glorious day and you asked me son daughter did you fulfill your purpose i can boldly say without confidence yes lord yes lord yes lord hey there is a day coming for everyone hearing me you will stand before your maker and you will answer what you did for this with this life given unto you whether you used your life your time resources and influence to impact others life or you just you were just born you live went to school got a job build one or two houses and just have it and you live then you die that would be a great disappointment you are better than that psalm 102 verse 18 psalm 102 verse 18 this shall be written for the generation to come and the people which shall be created shall praise the lord you know what it means it means that somebody like you would live in this generation and would do so much to impact this generation and that when you are gone another generation will come and read of what god did with you and will praise god that once upon a time one like you and your kind did lived are people going to rid of you hear of you and praise the lord or hear and read of you and say what what a disappointment and what the waste but i announced to you that you are capable to be a book yes where people can read of you and they will praise the lord that once upon a time you lived you walked the face of this earth you made a difference you were not selfish it wasn't about just you but you did something study the bible and history great men that made a difference and great women were ordinary people like you and i came from nothing to something from nowhere to somewhere from nobody to somebody you are capable of becoming somebody of

yourself stop belittling yourself stop stop restricting and stop accumulating and stop limiting what you are capable of like the power of god psalm 145 verse 4 one generation shall praise thy words to another i shall declare thy mighty act one generation say the legacy continue the legacy continues a man by the name of jonathan edwards lived 150 years ago he did a study on his life he was an

a sense of divine direction show me what i'm capable of that i was born for such a time like this to make a difference to be a game changer to be a wonder to be a miracle and a shine to my world from where i am now look at me look at me i want to tell you something i'll tell you something when i went to bible school i couldn't read and write i couldn't speak english i was speaking speaking english in those days and we were having an example in bible school and it was about eschatology the second coming of jesus christ and i hadn't studied it and he demanded an answer and when he put pressure on me they have just finished teaching on tongues and interpretation so when we got to eschatology and the pressure was put on me that you have to give me the answer so i can write it because i couldn't write i couldn't even sign my signature i sat there under the pressure everybody looking at me i spoke in tongues then he said to me he said to me what is the meaning of these tongues i said that is the answer interpret it and write it he looked at me he looked at me with with with all and he he passed me he said i have to pass you you are too determined to fail in that year of all the students and of all the students that came before me after me they haven't yet been one like me [Applause] and you know why you know why i talked about it i talked about it because i didn't stay there i talked about it because i improved on my life i talked about it because i've gone past it i talked about it because i am better today than i was and i am not ashamed from where i've come from are you hearing me somebody come on somebody put your hands together give god a shout [Applause] [Music] do you know why i said that i said that to speak to somebody specifically to a specific individual that you are looking at yourself and looking at your environment your immediate circumstances your place of bed your paternal and maternal background and you are defining yourself based on that background but i came to announce to you that when god decides to do something with your life he doesn't take into account your shortcomings and god is not calling people with abilities he's seeking and calling people with availability because hear me god doesn't use people who are qualified he used unqualified people and he qualifies them so that you will know hear me let me tell you something you know why i talk about my past because when i look at where i have come from i know of one fact of this fact that there is nothing of me and of my treatment of who i am today that has anything to do with my background the school i went to my father and my mother that i owe it all to the grace of god are you hearing me somebody and hear me those of you who are so confident in your background and your in your education the school you attended you are a joke you have a disappointment because even the english you speak it's not your language it's a borrowed language the knowledge you have is not yours it's borrowed one true knowledge is what you have encountered and experienced
