John 14 and 6 records him saying I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father but by me he had healthy self-esteem and those that they had prepared for the Ashi of history found out this Jesus had said something about them get Jesus that they've been calling us and and boy Blackie would you repeat again what we heard you said about us you are the light of the world you are the salt of the earth [Music] the light shine earth in darkness and the darkness can't put it out when you show up the lights come on somebody got healed tonight because your light was on you didn't think you were doing much but when Murphy asked you to praise the Lord and you went to praising the Lord somebody crawled in here out of depression and joy bells began to ring and they had to shield their eyes when they saw the light I saw I saw the light praise God I saw the light you are the salt of the earth you bring flavor this land be without us you bring flavor you are the salt of the earth the whole nation imitates saved saints you are the light of the world you are the salt of the earth and this eighth psalm backs up the kingdoms remedy for low self-esteem will you allow me to execute the text Oh Lord our Lord how excellent how majestic is your name out of the mouths of children and babies you calls praise that silences your enemies but when I consider the rest of your creation when I consider the heavens the Sun the Moon the Stars low self-esteem creeps in and I keep asking myself what am i that you would care about me the perfection of the Sun the perfection of the Moon the stars in the night and I keep thinking about my imperfection I keep dealing with my faults and my failures and my mistakes and my errors they never let you down they keep rising and setting on time but I keep thinking about the times I've disappointed you one thing in public another thing in private what what what am i that you would think about me Who am I that you would use me low self-esteem Who am I who are my parents Who am I where did I go to school Who am I I make my self sick sometimes Who am I preach one thing and liver another thing and you know it Who am I Who am I that you would use me and the kingdom says that's the plea of low self-esteem and the Lord through the psalmist answers those of us who suffer with the malady of low self-esteem and here it is made you [Applause] ah did I did you hear what I did you hear what I did you hear what I just said God is trying to speak over you talking about you can't do this because they won't give me a break and I can't get this because they pay no attention to me and you don't know how dysfunctional my family is and you don't know what I've had to go through and God keeps trying to yell over your low self-esteem I made you a little lower come on come on pull on your neighbor and tell them the Lord made you a man but before you can pull on him cuz I saw a lot of you didn't pull on him cuz you ain't sure what did your own self and say the Lord made me and he used no recyclables God made me God said I made you a little lower than the Angels that's what God said you stand up at night you stabbing your ownself in the back you disqualifying your own self you given yourself excuses to be mediocre you given yourself rationalizations to come in last and God says I made you up I made you and I made you a little lower than the Angels this perfect God makes the Sun the moon and the star see in the birds of the air every crawling thing every creeping thing but God saved his best for last how in the world do you think you survived 400 years of this manumission still rolled in you're right man still got opportunity and chance I made you a little lower than the Angels and then I crowned you I crown you with glory are you listening to me tomorrow I crown you with honor do you hear me new verse and I made you i crowned you with glory and honor that means I put me in you glory can you see the glory of God in me look around look around can you see his glory in this room I made you and I use myself as the blueprint I didn't want you to come up short so I use myself I made you in my image and after my likeness that's why I given you glory hallelujah you've got glory that means you've got God in you don't count yourself out if you're saved because you if you count yourself out and you're saved you owning God out hallelujah I don't care how far you've fallen I don't care how much you messed up I don't care how much dirt you gotten on yourself under all of that mess there's some God in there come on throw up those hands and shout go the Spirit of God is in me love is in me the glory kindness is in me glory glory that's why he said I only need two or three thank God for this multitude but he said I've all I need two three if two three of you get together in my name I'm showing her cuz you got the glory hallelujah I have two three got the glory what to see your people got you don't think God satisfied for you to show up and clap your hands and rock to a song and go back home without changing the atmosphere you've got the glory and honor that's integrity glory and honor I built you with integrity fairness amen Tannis honesty amen people say judge not as she be just say shouldn't judge forty-five I don't judge it you just tell me do you see integrity honesty fairness love kindness but he can't be redeemed hallelujah oh he got to do is get saying God says through the psalmist I made you a little lower than the Angels then I crowned you with glory and honor and after making that major investment into your life I expect you to take your place amen my son my son didn't didn't graduate from high school and the teachers sent for me and they said to me Rembrandt we got a problem your son can't decide whether he won't be Martin Luther King or Billy Murphy I said well I think he both of them I got elected a bishop and took him on to West Africa with me over there he announced to me he was going to Morehouse and I said to him be reasonable [Applause] I said to him you messed around in school you got to get the GED and they're not gonna let a GED in Morehouse the teenager said to the new bishop when will you begin to have confidence in the goddess in me [Applause] and with a GED he got in the more house [Applause] sometimes you got the time over family [Applause] sometimes you got to climb over schoolteachers you've got to have confidence in the god that is in you and make up in your mind that when God made you he did not make you for the tale he made you for the head he wouldn't have sent his son to a rugged cross to die for you to be nothing and nobody gird up your loins and take your place in the name of Jesus don't you dare rationalize being at the end of the line you get yourself out of the end of that line and go to the front where the dreamers stand who believe they have a God who can make a way out of no way come on come on come on touch a couple of people and tell them take your place take your place take your place in the name of Jesus take your place take your place but but the psalmist teaches us well the biblical historians teach that this is a very old song that in its origin it was written with the focus on the king they referred to the king as our God and so when the psalm was first been they were referencing the Davidic King Oh Lord our Lord how excellent but the historians say that this was a pre exile song before the Exile the King became full of himself so take your place but don't get a big head [Applause] take your place but don't ever make the mistake and think you know more than God when they came back from exile they switched the focus of the psalm from the king to the king of kings amen don't panic when you fall off times even when it's your fault do not throw yourself on the dump heap of life sometimes the Lord has to let you fall in order to bring you to your senses and so I come tonight with a warning for Jamaal Harrison Bryant and a warning for New Birth Baptist Church don't let God think that he cannot afford to bless you sometimes it seemed to me God messes up by blessing us I want to take my place I want to be the CEO I want my family together I want a six-figure income I want my children to excel God says yes yes yes yes yes but can I afford to do it if I let you get a PhD will you still shout if I let you be the CEO of your own corporation will you still praise me and so the psalmist tells us how to do it how to do it wake up to your greatness wake up to what God has done for you wake up to the promises of God clean your promises hallelujah but don't go very far without thanking him when you find yourself saying more and more you're on dangerous ground hallelujah oh but when you can say the Lord woke me up this morning thank you Lord the Lord that's my son bless my daughter thank you lord [Applause] I am so excited about this marriage Jamal a.m. and lubbers Baptist Church I am so excited I have friends who call me to comfort me I had to let him know I'm so happy when Jesus said Lord that they might be one and I began to ask myself what would the church look like if we became worn hallelujah and all of us have to work to climb out of our closets and let God's cosmic Kingdom will be done I'm on my side AME daddy am me and daddy and me and I'm saying come on Jamal I said well he asked me what what you think daddy I said ain't don't matter what I think it what did the Lord say he said well I see the Lord opening every door in that direction I said well there ain't nothing else to say and then some of the good Baptist brothers say you gonna hair who preach my daddy ain't your daddy or hear me we're all God's children get together one time one time one time take your place boy shine take your church Church shine let it shine let it shine give God [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you may be seated as we give God thanks for this glorious day and for the marvelous things he's done already in our iives our hearts are filled with joy and we give expressions of gratitude to God for how he is kept and sustained and built a hedge around this church during a very critical period as we make our way now to the final aspect of this celebrative occasion before we proceed now with the act of installation and the covenant of installation we must force first of all for a brief celebration for the life the work the ministry and the legacy for Bishop Eddie L just before you take your seats just before you take your seats we must pay a debt of gratitude for the strength the tenacity and the commitment to his legacy and this ministry of his widow Vanessa Lowe [Applause] when I stood before you for the homegoing service of our brother I asked the new birth church to please be kind and to take care of his widow thank you new birth by eating to our adults and now we come to the celebration of the installation for the one who will lead this church into the next season of grace and glory dr. Jamaal Harrison please take your seats and we shall proceed now with the charge to the church that will come from Bishop Dennis Proctor on the charge to the pastor that will come from Bishop Rudolph McKissick jr. one AME and one Baptist if I don't correct that and say AME Zion I can't go back home the Bible is replete with allegorical references of the relationship between pastor and people two of the most prolific references sheep and Shepherd bride and bridegroom your father mr. Bryant just talked about a marriage between pastor and people the past 12 weeks everyone has referred to this relationship as a honeymoon don't be deceived this is not how it will continue an unnamed literary critic said the most misleading line in all of literature reads and they lived happily ever after you have to ask yourself what what happened did the prince lose his charm did Cinderella trade in her glass slippers for run over house shoes did her head rag and his do-rag cool the embers of the marital bed or did they suffer from what barbara tuchman called the illusion of permanence that what you were you always would be a pause and I think of this marriage because I want to ask has anybody checked the compatibility quotient we've heard a bit Bishop McKissack told me don't talk too much about the pastor because that's what he's gonna do but I've got to let you know that I had to look at the quotient side-by-side Jamal Harrison Bryant anointed check Jamaal Harrison Bryant innovative check Jamaal Harrison Bryant compassionate check new birth innovative check loving and compassionate check so creative that other ministries mimicked and so it was pressing in my spirit but they gave me a limited amount of time to challenge and charge the congregation to charge you to do at least three things the first have a mind to work to see all that this church has accomplished the buildings are just physical manifestation but to see how you have impacted the kingdom Nehemiah 4 says that when the people have a mind to work there is nothing that cannot be done they can convince laid-off federal employees that their job was just a resource but God was the source when they have a mind to work they can pay the bail to get inmates out of jail if they have a mind to work they can feed 5,000 on Superbowl Sunday because they have a mind to work if you're a member of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church will you raise your hand and repeat after me pastor we have a mind to work but you can't just stop with work because you may become guilty of the seduction of good works and therefore put premise II and what you do as opposed to who you are st. Augustine tells us that the greatest of all sins is to do the right thing for the wrong reason so we must be people with a heart to pray because there's only through prayer that we can have unanimity of spirit prayer produces in a congregation both unison and harmony at the same time Bishop Ellis preached this morning about Manasseh and Ephraim Manasseh whose name means you have caused me to forget forget that there was a famine forget the pain that we've been through prayer teaches us that for the believer pain and struggle is not punishment it's development and so we must be as a congregation of people with a heart to pray if you remember would you elevate your hand and say pastor we commit to have a heart to pray but you can't stop there final dimension not just to have a mind to work a heart to pray but a hand to give we were trying to move from one place to other everybody wanted to stop and take a selfie with dr. Jamal Harrison Brady Woods everybody but before you put the phone down pull up cash app push pay Pay Pal because every vision needs provision and God has so orchestrated that men and women shall give from their bosom so as excited as we are we have been challenged to give motivation to the vision if you remember please stand if you believe in all that we've heard you elevate a hand toward this soon to be installed pastor you've got to mean this in your spirit see pastor we have a mind to work pastor we have a heart to pray pastor we have a hand to give and this we will do in the name of Jesus and right now there are those who are here who are watching and said oh that's just a bunch of talk talk is cheap how do you know that they're going to do what you just said and there was a wise man in a community young precocious young fellows like a young teenage Jamaal went to him and said they say you know about everything and he says I don't know everything but I do know some things and the leader of the group came with his hands behind his back had a little canary in his hand he said well tell me this is this canary in my hand living or dead the old man knew that if they said it was alive he would squeeze the life out of the canary and show him the dead body you were wrong he said he was dead the young man was going to throw up his hands and the canary would fly away so the old man stood there for what seemed to be an eternity of time and he looked at his Inquisitor said young man the answer is in your hand and he turned and walked away pastor people if you will become what eyes haven't seen and ears haven't heard to the exceeding abundantly level it's in your Hey [Applause] I'm going to ask my brother if he would stand for me I had the opportunity to do this for many spiritual sons and spiritual daughters never for my best friend and I stand here today not because that's who I am but because I believe God has assigned me to speak a few things to you as I charge you today in this new assignment two words come to mind Jamal authenticity and integrity because where there is no authenticity there is no fidelity because God is violated by your perpetration always have authenticity always have integrity there is no fidelity without integrity because without integrity you'll be careless and casual in character satisfied with performance loose with relationships be authentic I'm reminded of Saul talking to David and Saul said to David you can't do this because of this and because of that and there are many who are saying you can't do this you're not able to pass through these people because you're not Baptists you're not able to pass to these people because am me ordained you but you've got to be like David the first thing about his authenticity was he refused to try to walk in somebody else's arm God has uniquely deposited something in you some people will attempt to not disrespect Saul and put it on anyway not realizing that by trying to not disrespect Seoul you disrespect your own anointing stand in your anointing God has not called you to walk in anybody's footsteps has not called you to feel anybody shoes he's called you to be Jamal Harrison Brian you be authentic then David decided that new challenges Jamal don't need new weapons he went back and got the rocks that had always worked for him I charge you today my brother God's given you rocks that have already worked for you rocks that saved young people with the n-double-a-cp rocks that founded a church in Baltimore Maryland and thousands were saved rocks that allow you to preach all across this world and people are saved you use the rocks that have always worked you don't need tricks you got rocks you don't need manipulation you've got rocks and above all you've got the rock this rock is Jesus yes he's the one you stand on that rock I leave you my beloved with three things love the people love them unconditionally don't love the ones that love you it's easy to love folk you like it takes maturity to love the folk you don't like love the people lead the people one author has said that we should lead in such a way that the people that don't know God but no you get to know God because they know you love the people lead the people liberate the people Jamal you are an ebony Emancipator God has given you a prophetic voice not like the pimp prophets of today who seek to fill their coffers but God has given you a prophetic voice to liberate the oppressed so my brother preach preach until there is a holy wedlock between spiritual salvation and social liberation preach until you become the conscience of the Empire and the consciousness of those oppressed by the Empire preach truth to power till those who feel disenfranchised know that they are made just a little lower than the Angels but above all preached Jesus black power is in the midst of that but preached Jesus sociology is in the midst of that but preach Jesus preach in such a way that Bishop Eddie Long will hush the Angels people for helping and tell the angels watch this watch this watch this bless you not Robin [Applause] [Music] beloved brethren in Christ we are meeting here

apostle Bishop Eddie L long realizing that greater works you will do greater works you will do greater works he will do in the name of Jesus pastor Bryant on behalf of Missionary Baptist Church we give you the keys to God's house [Applause] well Saints will y'all help me receive apostle IV Hilliard he's going to come and lead us in our giving for tonight come on let's appreciate the men of God he's coming well glory to God a man a man a man praise the Lord you maybe see that you may be seated to this great pastor and all of our symbol what a time we've had already amen and it's offering time let's try that again let's try that again let's try to have again it's offering time one more time it's offering time this this has been an awesome occasion and awesome time the charge was given by and AME bishop the charge was given by a Baptist guy and then the the prayer was prayed by a non-denominational guy and now they got a word of faith got up here to receive the offering we all want praise the Lord all right now I need everybody give me your attention we're not gonna be long but I just wanna I want us to be given a faceless if I can just get you to hold off just second just ashes just hold off just second just second I want everybody to focus real quickly real quickly I want everybody to understand the opportunity about the opportunity we have a rare opportunity today a rare opportunity and listen opportunity does not knock but stand silently and weeds to be recognized and normally goes unnoticed because initially it looks like an unfair exchange so many times someone has to explain the opportunity and the opportunity that we have today is we have an opportunity to sow to invest to give in the launching of a ministry the launching of a ministry and and that's that's rare in the Bible and when it's done in the Bible we see incredible things happening now God always is indeed when people give to men and women of faith he has men and women of faith he always he's endeared to those who will do that I learned this years ago by before I became a senior pastor I was studying a Bible and I saw it and without anybody having to asked me I start giving to my man of God I start giving and the favor of God came on my life favor is the willingness of others to use their power their ability and their influence to help you so when I give an offering the Bible says and God is able that's in answer Corinthians chapter 9 and verse 8 and God is able to make all grace abound toward you that you always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work so forgiving we're expecting this grace that we can see in the Bible when a person gives after launching of a ministry we look at Peter the Bible says Jesus launching his ministry asked Peter if he let him use his boat and when he did then Jesus turns to Peter and addresses the Lac in his life and Peter at the end of the day had a boat load of fish when Elijah was launching his ministry on Mount Carmel well that was the widow at first in first Kings chapter 17 she supported him at the launching of his ministry and y'all know the story the famine affected everybody but her because increase came to her house so I want you as we give tonight I want you to give expecting increase to come to your house expecting God to do something supernatural favor abounding toward you that God will raise up somebody somewhere to use their power their ability and their influence to help you how many need favor in their lives tonight oh yes praise the Lord well that's why this is an

Tama Brian Davis it's a clinical psychologist at Pepperdine University won't you please stand I'm honored thank you so very much I'm appreciative for you to the heartbeats outside of my chest grace angel in the door would you please stand I'm thankful for you it for your life for your life 15 years ago I came to preach for Bishop Ellis Bishop Long's conference and I was the youngest person to preach at the conference that week bishop noel jones preached Bishop Jake's pastor fluently preached and I did the afternoon session that we and I got in the limo to go back my church was just three years old I was in a high school auditorium and this was the biggest thing you had ever preached in in my life and I could hardly sleep and could hardly believe that I was going to preach at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church with a motley crew of young adults in Baltimore and Bishop long would give me that opportunity I got in the limo we were coming down Woodrow and I looked at this massive church and saw a car's popped on top of each other it was absolutely amazing it was it was Kwanzaa in Kenya in South Africa all together and I couldn't believe it and at the time I was married 15 years ago and my wife at the time was I'm trying to fix it my was sitting next to me in the limo and I said to her 15 years ago coming down would roll that I'm gonna pass to this church one day and she said to me in the limo God made but don't tell Bishop long because you won't be back amen and I'm just thankful God gave me this call to come and pass in his church and I had two areas of stress one was my father's the previous senior bishop of the AME Church and my relationship with my children caused me tremendous angst as to how I would be present a long distance in so doing and in doing joint partnership I had to have a real conversation on how this could work from Baltimore back to DC she was gracious enough to partner with me to be able to be a father from afar even while coming close and so I wanted to publicly thank God for gizelle Bryant helped me thank God for her for life our witness I'm appreciative - my company brothers thank you so very much for praying me through I'm pinching myself in this moment because I can't believe that this is real there's no way in the world I thought this would happen Dante coming through Baltimore having gotten a GED being kicked out of school failing the 11th grade having a baby out of wedlock going through a divorce the headline of every blog there was no way that I would stand to this place one night one night I couldn't sleep I'm tossing and turning in the middle of this process 138 capable people applied to be in this position and aya Bishop Bryant disqualified myself said that there's no way I um I was being a terrorist of self sabotage that there's no way that this could happen and one night Pastor Claiborne I couldn't sleep and I'm flipping through cable television and I stopped at a channel I never watch which is PBS and in the middle of the night PBS had a show called Antiques Roadshow an antique road show for those of you who have never seen it started in the UK and just came to the United States in 1997 and you find stuff that's in your house and you take it to an appraiser to see whether it's worth anything I'm up in the middle of the night trying to figure out whether I should pull my name from contention to be the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in a watchin antique road show and an old man found the painting in the basement of his house and brought it to the filming of antique road show and said I have this painting of Andy Warhol and I'm not sure whether it's worth anything because I had it in the basement the appraiser said well what happened while he was in the basement he went through a flood and the appraiser said I know it's been through a flood but can you still see the picture even though it's gone through rain has gone through storm even though it's been sitting in the bottom can you still see the picture everything it's been through the flood and the old man says I can still see the picture and I can still see Andy Warhol's signature he said bring her to me the old man ran back to his truck came back out with the cameras in tow and showed them the picture he said to this old man you don't even know that now the picture is worth more than it was before the flood because it survived the flood it showed its authenticity it showed what it's really made out of and to show you how valuable it is in spite of the storm that it went through you can still see the signature new birth I come to you not as a perfect pastor but I come as a pastor that survived some storms but I'm thankful to say through it all I've learned to trust in Jesus and through it all I've learned to trust in God you can't make me doubt him I know too much about him I can still see the signature of Jesus Christ on my life and for that I give Him glory I give him honor and I give him
