you're welcome to be seated [Applause] let's just let's just keep the holy spirit with us he's here he's here to set you free he's here to heal you he's here to restore you holy spirit is a person he's not a it is not a dove he's not the oil those are just symbols the holy spirit is a person he comes like he wants to manifest himself and our responsibility is to follow his leading amen and so last week he had a i would say more a war expression tonight he has his dove expression and that's just how the word of the lord works he he does how he wants our job is to follow him amen and so as i just said hello to everybody online hey guys i hope everybody's well and i want to share to you tonight about giants on god's payroll giants and god's payroll and i want to lay hands tonight and anoint you and import you and [Music] that's what i felt the lord say so you know this morning i i needed to hold back the the power of god because you know for that moment but tonight i would i will let it flow and i pray that everybody that's here that you will not just have a touch but that you will change because he doesn't want to touch us he wants to change us amen and so giants on god's payroll i want to speak to you who do you believe that you are called by god okay that was like half of the class so who have you believe that you have been called by god let me ask again okay so if you believe that you are called by god then tonight's message is for you this is the message that only for the cold and uh you know if you are called by god then this is a word for you for this hour for this moment and i just believe that god wants to speak to you so in psalm 105 verse number 18 the bible says this it's a the story about joseph the word of the lord says this they bruised his feet of shackles and placed his neck on irons verse number 19 until his prediction came true and the word of the lord proved him right the king sent and released him and the rulers the people set him free what i want you to understand is that when god calls you like of joseph here which the bible here speaks about whenever god calls a man calls a woman he will always test the call or he'll test the word on the person until the time that the test is passed and then the word of the lord gets released in full manifestation so what i want you to get tonight is this jesus is absolutely the waymaker he is absolutely the one that goes ahead of you he is the one that will promise you the moon and the stars in the sky and these are all things that jesus will do that he will let me say like this jesus will promise you that you're going to take the promised land he will say to you he's going to protect you as you go he will say to you he'll provide for you as you go but one thing that jesus will not do he will not go for you gonna say that again and you have to understand why i'm speaking about giants on god's payroll it's because god promised the israelites the the canaan he promised them the promised land and many times when a man and a woman are called god will promise you things and the promise is for you to say yes but god does not give you the detail of your call he just wants you to go and i want you to understand something about the israelites here tonight and it's simply this is that god had giants in the promised land on his payroll and you can say what do you mean well very simple in the in the promised land while the giants were there the malachites were there uh the hittites were there when they were there these these giants were experts in dealing with the wildlife of canaan in other words there was another enemy that was in the promised land that was the wildlife an actual fact that it is absolutely accurate and true you can go and study this that if god would have removed the giants out of the way the israelites would have faced an enemy that they've never seen but the jews knew giants because they had a king that will fight one a couple of years later on and so the giants were not unseen or unheard of enemy for them oh come on please i want you on your edge of your seats tonight okay i want you to understand that god won't make you move but what he will definitely do as the bible says exodus 23 verse number 30 the bible says little by little i drive them out before you until you have increased enough to take possession of the land in other words if every true call comes resistance resistance are not there to say that it's not true what he has said resistance are there to prove that you are improving it's like exercise for an example if you're not hurting you're not doing it right are you guys with me and so it's many times so in life and we have to understand that when god calls you he won't fill in the details because he promises going with us he's promising he is going to make the way he promises us he'll protect us you promise us as he provide for us but he will not make us move are you there and so little by little yes here's the here's the key of the call of god upon your life little by little you'll grow in the lord until you're ready to advance into the promised land and so anything that happens quick is not of god little by little god will advance you to take the land can i have an amen for that listen salvation is immediate but freedom is a choice let me say that again salvation is immediate forgiveness is immediate but freedom is a lifetime process god will give forgive you at the moment but for the rest of your life you're gonna walk into how to learn to be in full freedom because many people are forgiven completely yet they still walk stuck oh come on am i talking to somebody forgiveness is immediate but freedom is a process it's true what i'm saying and as i was studying this the lord spoke to me out of two corinthians chapter number 12 verse number 6 where the bible says as for though i would desire to glory i shall not be a fool for i will say the truth but now i forbade lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be or what he hears me to be unless i should be exalted above measure through the abundance of revelations there was given me a thorn in the flesh a messenger of satan to buffet me lest i should be exalted above measure for this thing i besought the lord thrice three times that it may depart from me and he said my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in your weakness most gladly therefore i will rather glorify in my weakness because the power of christ rests in my weakness listen i want you to understand paul first calls this thing a messenger from the devil it says i had a messenger from satan i had a thought what i love about this piece of scripture is this is that paul does not quantify nor clarify what the thorn is and the reason why i believe that paul doesn't clarify what his thorn is is because most likely christians would have made a theology of what this thorn was so we can all relate because all of us have a thought okay oh come on i'm going to preach like to this side maybe a little bit better tonight listen jesus will give you a thought all of us will have a deficit and what paul says the first part of his life he says i had a thought i asked christ to remove it he says no my grace is sufficient for you for my power is best stimulated or evident in your weakness then paul shifts his heart he shifts his mind and he now says this he says now i boast in my thought why because paul became confident that the more of a lucky heart the more grace should have been supplied to him well let me say this the more you can't do it the more reason there is for him to do it if you can do it why do we need him are you with me and the problem with many of us is unfortunately as so is that we believe we are the assistants to the assignment can i say that again we believe we are the assistants to the assignment no with every assignment comes divine assistance and what we have to learn in life is we have to treasure the weakness i said it this morning i'll say it again we have i have brilliant people in this church i've got doctors i've got lawyers i've got everything and you know but it doesn't mean that our strength means much without the lord coming in on onto the scene as i was thinking about this the lord said this he said with the treasure comes the training so first i will give you the treasure then i'll train you how to walk of the treasure are you there so listen he will give you he will tell you like joseph and joseph's mistake was this he told everybody what he's going to do he told his family you're going to bow down to me he told his family you're going to worship him he was right but that did not mean that god would not put joseph through the test that dream will cost him prison are you there and he stayed there until the word of the lord proved him to be true come on i do i have somebody with me and only then he came out oh come on let me throw this into the chat possession without process is illegal position without process is illegal to tell people the dream and not to go through with the dream is like dressing up in gym gear and not showing us that you can actually do it are you with me like in the beginning of here we have a lot of people that dress up obviously very very motivated for the new year and then they they tell us how good they are it's like for example um i ride bike i ride bicycles i i like bike i like running i like to stay fit and exercise and i have a i have a person that lives close to me and every now and again he'll tell me how good he is on a bike like he can cycle good and i was like oh yeah okay cool so we'll catch one another whenever now one thing is i'm fit and so the one day i caught him and he was true story was he was dressed in south africa clothes he had south africa gear on [Music] and i thought to myself okay this is going to be interesting and his bike was amazing and i was looking at it i was this thick thinking nice i know the gear i know everything this is a good bike i thought to myself today it's going to be nice we're going to go far and fast and we went for about three four kilometers and i started to excel and i started to get myself and i got into my every cyclist has got a rhythm i know what works for my body and my whole bike is exactly fitted to my shape and i know how to ride it because i've been on it thousands and thousands of kilometers so as i gear down and i gained my optimum position and i started to press cycle out of my butt that's the way you should cycle by the way i was reaching full full power my little thing was saying listen you're getting to 80 of your max capacities and your muscles and so i was gaining and then as i look back nobody and so i turned around i went back it's like hey what happened it's like no that's too fast i'm like but how far should we go i said i'll keep with you so you go so i first think to myself you know i'll be a shepherd so let's be a pastor and let's just stay with the guy a little lost sheep and the guy goes so slow i struggled to balance because i've got cleats on and i was like no no no let's just let's just leave this be say bless you in the name of the lord and the father son holy spirit and i left listen it is not good enough to show up dressed up telling people how big the promise is staying faithful to the call it's going to cost you the process of faithfulness and through the process of faithfulness god will add to you over your lifetime and then every day when you stand up thank the lord for your weakness because the more weakness you have the more power he can supply it's true oh come on are you there are you with me and as i was reading on this i loved it the bible says this no man can take the burden of god god will put you through nobody people will not understand that you can try to explain it they will not get it you know it's like telling a toddler you it's people will just not get what you're gonna go call or go through and that is exactly right because they're not called like you are you there are you of me so the disciples listen this is what i learned the disciples had a massive call upon their on their on their life the call was the world but they needed to learn that before they can take the world on they had to wait there was a process the process was that the holy spirit needed to come and without the holy spirit coming there wasn't any will to gain oh come on can i have an amen or something here you have to under you have to understand tonight to every call that he gives you there's a process save me process oh no say it with authority process i want you to get this the best way i can explain this to you is this this is what you have to understand tonight is that the process that you'll work with in god is literally as you walk of the lord you're gonna feel like many times your life buffers buffering is when it feels like it's hanging i don't know how saved you are i'm not very saved when it comes to buffering because anything that hangs listen by the way this generation will never know the sound of internet dialing up yeah we know that's out the generation my kids they don't know anything about that song they just know 500 meg top up to 5 gig please then i'm like dear jesus what do you do on your phones but many times you know what i'm calling about listen by the way ladies and gentlemen if you want to know how saved the person are that you're going to get saved give them slow internet true story so but many times it will feel like your life call is buffering it'll feel like stuff is not working not so because god proves that what is unseen first and then when you're ready he puts you onto the scene he will anoint you to disappoint you to put you in the wilderness until the opportune time he takes david he anoints david he sends him back to the sheep he tells david go back to the sheep and there he stays for a long time until he comes at an opportune time to bring cheese and bread for his brothers and then there's a giant on the sea but david listen david was anointed in secret he was prepared in secret he was exposed publicly so what you go through behind the scenes will always be exposed by the lord publicly but if you fail the process behind the scenes and we put and god puts you onto the scene gonna mess up his name are you there so buffering is not nice but it's necessary and i have seen too many christians and this is why i'm preaching this i've seen too many christians that are in a hurry they are in a hurry to prove that they have a call of god upon their lives listen if there's a true call you don't need to tell us we'll choose we'll see the fruit we'll look at you and we'll say oh apple tree you will never ever find listen it's ridiculous but think about it you will never find an apple tree walking around saying to everybody apple tree apple tree no we will know your apple tree because you have apples are you there you don't need to tell us you're a prophet just be accurate in what you say and what you say must actually work you don't need to tell us you're going to be a billionaire just show us that you actually are by giving and building the kingdom of god come on here there we have a very chatty generation but they don't have a lot of fruit if you believe listen if you believe that you can lift the weight what god what if you believe that you can lift the weight what you will experience is god's resistance and not his assistance because the same hand that must lift you is the same hand that will resist us the bible says humble yourselves under the mind your hand of the lord so that he may exalt you in due time but if we are arrogant he resists us oh come on save me the word assistance so you have to believe that you cannot lift the weight by yourself you need assistance let me use an example if i can use jim as an example it will help that you can understand what i'm saying i can if if somebody tells me now come and bench pressure squat a certain weight i wish i could demonstrate this but i didn't feel like doing the prop tonight so i can go a certain a certain amount of time but or a certain weight but if i reach my max potential and i start to fail i need assistance so yeah my gift makes room for me only up to a space then i need assistance [Music] all of you that sit here you have a gift you are you are gifts everybody online you have a gift but your gift means nothing without true assistance as i stand here i can tell you what my gifts are but my gifts means nothing if i don't understand these gifts only work with assistance and yeah sure i can preach and yes sir i can i can draw crowd yes sure i can prophesy to you i can tell you what to do at your house i can preach you i can let you jump up and down i can do all these things i can survive certain things i can go through certain things but if i cannot brag in my weakness then i don't understand grace because it's not us that quantifies us it is calling on us his power through us his life inside of us his grace inside of me his grace upon me and his grace ahead of me that makes me me come on no come on give jesus christ a hand listen yours your perspective can say this is a massive giant all your perspective can say this thing's head is so big it cannot be missed [Applause] it's all who you serve you can have a perspective of saying this is a massive thing i have a massive issue or you can say you're too big to miss come on and my question to you tonight is you have to understand god left the giants on his payroll to equip his people little by little we'll take the land he said i'll provide for you i'll give you protection i will even go with you but i will not go for you you have to go yourself in other words listen god cannot go for you you must go for you then god has already gone in front of you waymaker absolutely promise keeper absolutely but it's not the one that will go he will not make you move your feet you have to choose to trust him and you need to jump you see the problem is can i preach this at you for a moment there's too much peter in some of us we're still pulling the sword on the markers of life what is mount because marcus represents that what is against jesus peter's trying to help jesus out jesus is trying to get to the cross and there's so many of us we pull the sword and there's nothing wrong with pulling the sword i'm just saying that as we pull the sword at the wrong times god will ultimately not do what he wants to do because we're messing up his program so peter pulls the sword he's like jesus get out of the way i'm gonna i'm gonna stop malcus and he aims for the head he gets in here and the bible says jesus needs to rebuke peter you need to take malcus's ear and put it back and heal him he needs to fix peter's mess before he can go to the cross otherwise peter would have been guilty of hydrate high treason you have to know listen this is what the lord said to me this is so good if if you are like abram there's two two types of abrams inside of you the first abram decides by himself he decides listen i'm gonna have my own son and he does that son's name is ishmael he has that son at the age of 40 but when god gets ready to give him a son abram can no longer do it by himself god waits until abram fails and then he says you're ready for the promise [Music] but now you are not going to do it by yourself because quite frankly your body is useless now you have to trust in me to give you the promise [Music] it's true and then the bible says he trusts god and god gives him isaac listen have you ever thought it like this let me read it for you if god gave abraham the promise at 40 years he would have thought that he could do it but the promise came when he was 80 when he couldn't do it god will most likely i said it oh and i'll say it again in power church we have grown more in the last year than any other year okay any other year but it's the same if i take the 18 18 months that we have grown massively and i'm not saying this just to say it i'm just telling you my story but in the same amount of time that we've gone through you see i can never preach with your authority if i don't if i don't tell you personally are you there so we have seen massive growth he promised me growth in 2013 already so we have seen huge growth but now we see okay huge growth lord suddenly because before covert came we were we were just a mega church in pretoria we had a lot of people and we were happy because lots of people happy church happy sundays happy oh come on is there somebody that can relate just happy why we don't need to do much we have thousands of people coming we have awesome school life is good then go then suddenly in our own lives you know my in my life my mom goes to be of the lord cover hits us my dad goes to be of the lord my friend goes to be of the lord uh one of my bosses eric's dad goes to be of the lord some of our best people goes to be of the lord all of this happens in 18 months and it's the same time that god increases us god makes gives us a location in the cape it gives us a location in secunda he gives us a church in wet bank he gives us a location in durban and currently we are broadcasting to 28 000 people on a weekly basis in africa we've grown online with more than 800 people and the churches just keep on growing but he never told me he's going to make us grow while we go through the hardest seasons of our lives [Music] come on and so here's the point i realized halfway through last year if i don't boast in my weakness then there's not going to be strength but if i can be real about i cannot do it without him he will pour his power upon me [Applause] and so assistants came flying in from everywhere when you and i give up and we give in oh come on oh come on let's give jesus christ a praise of him you guys clap hands like you know we clap like you bought no clap like you actually wanna clap amen come on just i i think sometimes yeah that's better please don't clap hands like some restake amen i we don't even dress restart so it's a belief you know okay [Music] the forgiveness the call of god is immediate but it's going to take you to say yes to that what i have in my spirit tonight is this is that i believe that the lord has set you up and everybody that's online with me as well i believe that because this is the thing that that god does best is as soon as you say like paul i had a thorn then god says no it's not a thorn it's a qualification for what for power for grace for sufficiency it's a it's a qualifier but lord i have these issues no you don't you have great potential no lord i have these massive problems no you don't you have massive potential for what for me to show you that i'm god and you're not and i'm gonna make you sit down and i'm gonna let all these issues sit around this table and i will pour my cup of blessing upon you i'll increase you in the midst of all of this stuff if you trust me if you stay faithful to me because it's a god's story david let me use david again as an example david he's with the sheep that's why i tell the guys don't just come to church serve serve be a volunteer serve put up your hand register we have got more volunteers this year than any other year go off to church and go and sign up and say jeremiah use me that's how i started as a servant as a volunteer everybody serves in this house amen so david is looking after the sheep looking off the sheep normal day normal day normal day looking after this sheep god sends the prophet to his house david doesn't even know the prophet is there the prophet is there with an assignment you ought to anoint a king the first boy comes elia peace the bible says he's a good looking young man god says no it's not him then the bible says that so this the sons come of jesse every single one of them come seven sons seven o's none other than qualified and samuel is confused because he is looking for the things that looks good on the outside god says the king is to be in the house of jesse and samuel is like don't you have any other [Music] children it's like yeah we have one but we didn't think him worthy to be invited to this meeting he's with the sheep and so samuel says go and call him we'll wait for him we'll stand for him as he comes and the bible says as david came walking in this is what you have to understand he sees a man that he's never seen before with a heifer's horn in his hand full of oil and while all the boys look right on the outside as soon as david hits the entry place god says that's the one and samuel must have been thinking at that time god are you nuts this guy is smelling like sheep he's dirty should i anoint him now should i throw your anointing on on that god says that's the one anointing and what i love about god is god doesn't wait for david to be perfect god doesn't like want david to go and get dressed up god doesn't want david to go and clean his face god doesn't want david to even wash off the smell of sheep or the acts of service god anoints david in front of his brothers and here comes the oil seal the deal and after he got anointed he gets sent back to the ship but here's the point when david walked from the sheep to the house he never knew it's going to be the last time he's going to walk as a shepherd boy because the next time he's gonna walk he's gonna walk as a king but he's he's training oh you have to understand his training happening in the field either delight himself in the lord your god god will lift you up i tell you the truth if you delight yourself in the lord in private god will put you into public spaces if you delight yourself in the lord privately because that's what ultimately gave david his victory not just the anointing his training because when he looked at goliath he said i have fought the lion and the bear [Music] skills [Music] and now i have the anointing he actually says that he says i fought the lion and the bear the giant will be like one of them for me in other words all of israel is seeing this come on all of israel is seeing this massive giant and they are terribly afraid they are elevating the giant [Music] david comes he reduces the giant he's like i see him he will be like one of the lions one of the bears i fought but then david discovered where his power is and he makes it clear he says listen i'm gonna you come against me with a sword and a spirit i come against you in the name of the lord of host and whom you have the father in other words what's going to make you lose your head it's not me it's going to make you lose your head because i've discovered your weakness you're too arrogant and you don't have covenant i have covenant and i'm weak listen i please i just want to say this while i'm on this please don't glorify in fake humility glorify in true humility what is true humility true humility is knowing your strength but not advocating it let me use an example jesus hangs on the cross that's that's humility he has the power to call 12 legions of angels to his assistance that's how much power is god michael gabriel all of these boys they are ready to come into the scene can you imagine the sun hangs humility the call never comes [Music] why he had all the power but he was not after the angels proving that his king he was after the stone that will be rolled away the millions and millions of people that will get freedom through an open grave and they will declare him to be king oh no that's again like a golf club listen you have to understand the reason why jesus hanged him so much power and stability and humility is because there will be another people that will praise his name you and i [Music] that's the power of true humility not knowing that you are weak but being able to say like paul said even though i'm weak yet i am strong even though i'm put yet i am rich come on are you there are you with me so how will you do this exeter chapter number 23 verse number 30. little by little i will drive them out before you until you have increased enough to take possession of the land how little by little by little i'll give you the victory little by little i'll give you the success little by little you'll do it little by little and eventually you would have taken so much territory you'll look back and say how could this be [Music] it's because you stayed faithful a little bit by little bit [Music] come on am i talking to the right crowd guys that are on social media and all the media platforms share share share the gospel get it out listen if you believe you can lift the weight you will experience god's resistance and not his assistance if you bel if you and i believe we can do this by ourselves no we can't this is a king's story with weak people [Music] let me say it like this why did everybody want to know where samson's strength lied it's not because he looked like a bodybuilder it's because nobody could figure it out the sky looked normal yet he has power where does it come from hello but if you go through the bible right through the bible every great man and woman of god that was ever used by god somewhere they discovered their weakness and they started to brag about their weakness and god started to demonstrate his power you say moses moses listen moses says i can't talk god god says that's okay i'll give you aaron god says how will they believe me i don't have any power god says that's fine i'll give you some abram says if you're going to kill isaac how am i ever going to get to the promise well do it and let's see abram has to give him everything because before god shows up think about it daniel doesn't look like a faithful god if you're with the lions yet god waits until daniel comes into the lion's den before god shows him he's strong shabarak mishaka bednigo in the fire where's god these people were loyal think about it loyal servants worshiping god where's jesus thrown into the fire jesus shows up not late but in the fire to show them that he's stronger than the fire seems late no it's god come on are you with me paul one of the greatest apostles that have ever lived he wrote two-thirds of the new testament he gets into a storm god makes him swim god makes him bowl the fire god makes him get bitten by snakes god makes him do some crazy stuff and then eventually god shows up in his life in extraordinary ways why called if you are called it's going to cost you oh come on i know this is maybe i should have preached this another way but i believe that no man can spare you the process and one of the things i find a lot in leadership is this is that many people will ask me god they will say but spare the process no nobody will spare you that what do you mean i mean if you're gonna if we are really called you're gonna know this thing of betrayal you're gonna know this thing of offense you're gonna know the singing of unforgiveness you're going to know this thing of loneliness you're going to know this thing of paying and doing everything and people doing nothing you're going to go through a lot of stuff and the reason why you'll go through it is because god wants to test you and prove you that he actually can use you [Music] and when you come through and i'll end of this that's why he said he that's why he said to peter peter i'm not going to take you out of the shaking shaking is coming i'm not going to remove you out of the shaking you're going to go through it but when you turn strengthen your brothers in other words peter are you going to make this but i'm not gonna take you out of it you see so much of our prayer life is often based on what we want god to remove come on where we should actually be more focused on what he can use oh come on are you with me okay so let me let me throw this last one at you i will go before you says the lord but i will not go for you you have to have faith to do this and everything great that god will ever do in your life will cost you faith massive huge faith let me tell you a testimony true before i i'm gonna pray for us and lay hands on you let me tell you a testimony when god called me in 2004 i was finishing my law degree and as he called me he called me to come and serve my dad that was the call he didn't say anything else he just said come and serve and as i started to serve but when he said that to me let me just show you how god works when he said that to me i was before i was called i like to to party a lot like you know and so we were we enjoyed ourselves and so when god called me i was involved in a relationship and had a lot of friends like a lot a lot of friends and god said to me i want you to leave all of them i want you to leave her come and follow me i said okay and so i lived in a in a my dad he bought us i had a a very nice i'll never do that with my own children because god knows if my dad knew what i did in that flood but anyway i had a beautiful flat in brooklyn we had our lives and the the day i left god said to me i don't want you to leave anything or take anything with you that can be a trail back here you have to leave everything everything i said everything he said yeah i don't want it to have any crumbs for you to follow back because we're never gonna come back here [Music] then so i left i packed all my stuff and i was so radical in my mind back then i literally took all my clothes i put all my stuff in bags and i i was i loved designer wear i've always loved design away at that stage i was wearing a specific brand and as i was wearing that i gave all of that stuff to the security guard i said bless you he loved me so much i said i gave him perfume i gave him watches whatever and i drove home i drove home true story drove home yet i arrive back after four years of awesome freedom at the age of 22 back home now what conserve your dad [Music] and so i come to church to serve my dad i'm like okay what do i do here and he says i don't want you here go and do this and he just sends me around everywhere and my first introduction to ministry those first three four years nobody wanted us here they chased us away and then i made up my mind in the first year of my call i made up my mind i said listen all of you that can't see i'm called i know i'm cold because he said to me i'm called and then i went because i'm competitive by nature whoever you're competitive by nature yeah i'm very competitive so i went and i asked all the pastors how much do you pray how much you read your bible how much science one of the miracles do you do because i wanted to have a level and i found it out and i said okay i'll double that and i started to spend time with god like crazy i started to pray more and more and more and more and more but then i had a problem i was living with my mom my dad back again which i didn't want to and i had no goal come on don't be so religious and i know what i actually want to say is just this i have a i can give you my testimony another day but then one day i sat there at the back right there at the back and on top of my list was god i'm tired of all of the fake woman give me a real one [Music] like a proper clean goal and i was asking god for stuff that i didn't do are you with me because also it's like so i asked god for a clean goal and god didn't say no and so as i was sitting there at the back one day you're in the front dance the girl in white and i sat there and i said what about that one and he said that's your wife i was like yeah [Applause] so i was checking this girl out and the long story short i'll just give it to you in like quick stories we got married i've got three beautiful girls my life is blessed but here's the point how did the how did it work a little bit by a little bit by little bit by little and it's still like that 2006 i gave my first sermon 150 people left the building honest to god my dad said to me it's time to preach i preached my first summon our elderly gentleman stood up he said this was nonsense and they left they walked out the building how's that for a young man's heart but i decided little by little i'm cold and here was my i'll tease of this but it's absolutely true what i'm saying many years later on the people that gave me how i became the boss [Applause] and then god said what you gonna do [Music] i'm like i want to fire them he says no you can't you're better than that i'm like no i'm not you're like no you're really you are i'm like no i'm not i'll fire all of it [Music] little by little we took the light little by little we carried briefcases we carried water we loved we honored we gave gifts little by little how will you be victorious your life little by little [Music] mom died dad died little by little every day just stand up worship the lord that's it [Music] god starts to increase the hands of our work now this church is a national church but he did it in a he did it in a season when it felt like we died true story little by little i'll go with you okay but he didn't tell us the price tag he just said come follow me he said okay can i be honest with you for 30 seconds i always feel it's good to be honest as leaders so i'll be honest with you in my darkest moments when my my dad passed because if people tell you if people close to die you must just go on please tell them shut up and my dad passed and i went for a dark a dark moment with the lord the lord came to me personally one day and he asked me this question you're still going to follow me [Music] i said absolutely [Music] he said okay little by little just stand up every day just get up i'll help you heart was burning hurting for 100 days i mourned my dad he was my spiritual father taught me everything i knew after a hundred days the lord appeared to me again he puts his finger into my heart into my heart he says hey moses is not dead his alive is with me now stand up let's finish the vision [Music] after a hundred days jesus christ himself did open heart surgery on my life i stood up the power i remember it i stood up out of the of the holy spirit was again on me i said now i'll give you the vision for the next 10 years and he told me what i must do little by little by little you want to drive the expensive car little by little save be wise tithe honor god wanna live in the big house stop buying iphones invest in the stock market little by little true story want to have a great marriage stop being so selfish tell your wife how beautiful she is even if you think she's not because she'll become the shape of your words yeah little by little we'll whip satan's ass why we're stronger we're not in this for fame we're in this for glory oh come on have i preached to somebody yet tonight little by little little by little little by little little by little take territory give the devil how little by little and if you're honest with yourself if you're honest some days you're not going to feel like doing the call that doesn't matter you're better than your feelings i wish i could teach people just not to follow their feelings there's so many people that follow their feelings your heart is deceitful above all things tell your hearts follow the holy spirit because if i needed to pray only the times that i felt like praying you're not going to pray much are you there you are who you choose to be come on are you there and so this is this is what i would love to leave with you struck down not left alone tired not given up broken yet not yet unfinished alone yet not cast to the side you might be many things but one thing that you are not you are not a quitter you are not you cannot give up you cannot give in you cannot surrender you are more than a conqueror you are better than your opposition you are better than your giants you are better than your critics you are better and jesus will open the door at the right time and he will elevate you so quickly you all won't even know what touches you if jesus is in it i my friend i tell you you don't even need to be concerned about it you just need to watch him do it and he's going to do it again and again and again and again little by little save me little by little little by little you're going to advance little by little you're going to take back your heart little by little you're going to see his glory little by little you're going to pray little by little that first time you go and pray for somebody

wife looks good she's sexy she's got it on she smells good she looks good she's beautiful and so i saw the girl about four or five months ago that i wanted to marry before the lord took me out and i was thinking to myself are you nuts because she she saw me and obviously she's seen me on all the different paths she's like hey i'm like yes i'm like dear lord jesus thank you thank you lord praise
