glory amen grab your pen you'll not book your bible you can be seated with your sweet smart self as we get into the word of his grace we're still examining leading and perception leading and perception if you are not here in the first service i will advise you to get the cd and the teaching of the first service it will help you a great deal all right the book of jeremiah chapter 10 verse 23 i just continued from where i stopped in the first service jeremiah chapter 10 verse 23 oh lord i know that the way of man is not in himself it is not in man that worketh to direct his steps give me the amplified version of that scripture let me read from the amplified of jeremiah 10 23 oh lord please jeremiah in the name of the people i know that the determination of the way of a man is not in himself it is not in man even in a strong man or in a man at his best to direct his own steps no man has the direction of his life no man nobody it is not even found in man to direct his steps and in life direction will mean everything everything you know imagine traveling to a place you don't know where you're going you'll be on the road forever you never arrive you'll be frustrated many are frustrated in life because they do not have direction in life no direction they don't know what to do they don't know where to go they don't know what what will work for them so their life is full of trial and error today they start this they stop they start the other one they stop they hear there's another one walking here they want to get there and then it doesn't work for them and then they conclude it must be some witches from the village that are after them or they conclude there must be a cause in the family or a case in the family around them they live a life that is never fulfilled now we took time to deal with the fact that as a believer you cannot live your life on fleeces you know telling god if you are the one let this happen let that happen you can live like that the book of romans chapter 8 verse 14 tells us romans chapter 8 verse 14 for as many as are led by the spirit of god they are the sons of god or you can put it like this the sons of god are led by the spirit of god the word led there is the word to be borne by the spirit b-o-r-n-e to be born by the spirit or to be carried by the spirit so every child of god has access to the leading of the spirit naturally but it's wanting for the spirit of god to lead you is another thing for you to receive the right perception of that leading so perception is how you receive the leading of the spirit most times the problem in fact all the time the problem is not whether god is leading you the problem is do you have the right perception as to what god will have you do as to what god will be saying to you as to where god wants you to be these are very important issues he says it is not in man to direct his steps if you look at man from creation you observe that you never see man independent no man is ever independent something always led man to do what he does from creation something always led man to do what he does even if it is invisible you know even if it is invisible that cannot be seen something is always leading a man to do what he does i have seen people say i am a man of my own that is not true even that statement is influenced by somebody every human being is a product of influence every human being there is no independent human being who just decided how to live life somebody influenced the decision somebody introduced the idea and you know sometimes somebody can be far away from where you are and by the things he said to you can be controlling your life for another 30 years it's not with you but he planted ideas into your head and you're running with those ideas for 30 years of your life why because human beings are products of influence everybody is influenced somewhere it's not in man to direct his steps something is directing him you know every man is a product of somebody's influence something always tells you what to do so at each point of your life something is leading you in genesis chapter 3 the devil spoke and man followed the devil genesis 3 the devil spoke and man followed the devil because every man is led by something every human being in romans chapter 5 verse 12 brother paul says where for us by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin romans chapter 5 verse number 12 put it up for me wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world undead by sin and so did pass upon all men for that all have seen give me the next verse 13 for until the law sin was in the world but sin is not imputed when there is no law next verse nevertheless that reign from adam to moses even over them that are not seen after the similitude of adam's transgression who is the figure of him that war us to come in ephesians chapter 2 it also explains to us how men are controlled naturally ephesians chapter 2 from verse 1 and we shall read to verse 3. ephesians and you are the quickened who are dead in trespasses and sins next verse wearing in time past he's talking to believers now in time past you walked according to the cause of this world according to the prince of the power of the air the spirits are now working so there's a spirit that is walking in the children of disobedience to the gospel everybody is under a particular influence believers are led by the spirit of believers are led by what people around them influence them to do unbelievers are led by demons they are led by demons a man that is not born again is under the influence of the devil you walked according to the cause of this world the spirit that now worked so there's a walking of the spirit of the devil in the children of disobedience to the gospel of salvation [Music] man does not have the capacity to lead himself something always leads men all the time all the time not just some of the time all the time all the time something leads people all the time so therefore mine is not self-propelled it's not a self-propelled being he is always propelled to do what he does someone says i believe man has free will oh yes man has a free will oh yes that's what makes you a man every man has a free will but that free will is independent is dependent sorry on choices the free will of man is dependent on choices and those choices are influenced by men man has a free will but that free will is influenced by choices and the choices of man's free will are influenced by men therefore every man is a product of influence there is no man that just you know woke up by himself and just decided what to do every man you're born as a little child in your home with parents if they are not your parents you're born in the home with parents of somebody no child just grow alone orphanage home there are there are parents also there nobody just grew by himself even on the streets there are parents among area boys there are parents even in prison there are parents they are the ones that will remove all your clothes and ask you for rent on arrival and then they start influencing you got born in the home you start getting influence from your father if you're close to your father if you're close to your mother start getting influenced from your mother all the things you want to do in life are things your mother expose you to or things your father expose you to all things you were exposed to in school even your choice of career was influenced by somebody you saw an engineer and you admired engineering and you found out you had the capacity for engineering and you became an engineer nobody just came out and said no this is how i will be no every human being was influenced to make the decisions they made that ultimately determine the outcome of their life every human being now follow me i'm going somewhere with this it's important for me to settle that so that you know that you don't have any doubt in your mind as to whether people influenced you or not now man has to be led because that is who man is so look at yourself every decision you made either before you got saved or after you got saved was influenced including you're coming to service today that you're in church today in spite of the rain some of you beat the rain and came your clothes got soaked but you don't care because what your spirit is about to get is more important than your clothes you inconvenienced yourself and came out and you're sitting in church right now because something influenced you to get to the service this morning there's nobody that just does things there's an influence that makes you do what you do man cannot produce thoughts of his own thoughts thoughts are influenced you are thinking what you are thinking because somebody planted the idea there you are thinking what you're thinking because you saw something you're thinking what you're thinking because you heard something so your thoughts are planted if you don't admit that on time then something else is guiding you right now if you argue with me right now that thoughts are not planted that thinking that you are thinking to argue me with somebody give you that thought am i teaching here yeah that you're even arguing with me is because somebody gave you that idea so it's still an influence every human being is a product of influence are you still in the building please is very important now have you observed that in genesis chapter 11 the whole world came together to build a tower that would get to heaven god said these folks nothing can restrain them from what they have imagined to do god acknowledged that these guys what they are deciding to do nothing can stop it now god is there he doesn't want them to do it but they're going to do it anyway god didn't want him to build that tower that tall was not god's plan for man barbell it wasn't god's plan god didn't want it but they made up their mind to do it anyway and they started until they were interrupted in the process of their coordination otherwise they would have done it that's how powerful man's choices and decisions are that even god cannot stop man man will do what he wants to do man will do what he wants to do that's why you have some people who say okay i'm no more a man i'm a woman and they go to the hospital and ask the doctors to do a surgical operation on them and give them the organs of a woman even though they were born men man will do what he wants to do independent of god whether god likes it or not that is what we call free will but for man to make the decision that makes him think he's a woman somebody influenced that ideology somebody influenced him and such a person is suffering from identity crisis then identity crisis you know he rejected you know um his originality and has decided to take on another you know hallelujah hallelujah somebody asked me somewhere okay what if a man who was born you know people ask questions and uh sometimes when they ask questions those questions for me are pronouncing questions they are not questions there are some serious questions you know somebody say oh will a homosexual person or a lesbian person go to heaven if they receive jesus they'll go to heaven why not no it's not the question serious questions a question of supposing a man changes his organs and takes on the organs of a woman and dies and at the point of that receive jesus on the resurrection see the way you are laughing when mortality puts on immortality is he going to come out a man or a woman you do air because you know not the scriptures not the power of god on resurrection there'll be no male or female organs male or female organs ends on earth in the immaterial body in the body of immortality will be no there'll be no man or woman we're all going to rise as sons of god i don't know if you understand what i just said i just answered that question i hope you know that there'll be no organs now let's move let's move let's move so it's important to know that people are products of influence you know products of influence and in life it's important to know that please take note of this success is not a proof of the will of god success is not a proof of the will of god fulfillment is the proof of the will of god you didn't hear that success is not a proof of the will of god fulfillment is a proof of the will of god that is why you see some people you know a man will marry a woman buy her a jet builder a house by the seaside all right and then give her a yard so that she can even go through the waters and travel around the world she can fly her private jet give her beautiful cars put everything in it for her and the woman still commits suicide there in that house what killed her she has a jet she has a yacht she's living in a mansion she's got housemaids and house helps she has money to spend at any time why will she kill herself because she's not fulfilled so success is not fulfillment that you're successful doesn't mean you're fulfilled that's why the rich keep looking for how to get richer by all means because they think by making more money they'll be fulfilled but there's no fulfillment in money there's no fulfillment in wealth there's no fulfillment in riches get all the money the more money you get the most sorrowful you are the more money you get the more tormented you are solomon thought he could marry a thousand women and satisfy his lossful desires and he married 300 wives gathered 700 concubines i mean a man amongst women women from different countries different shapes different sizes different species and different coloration and yet after all of that he said to himself vanity of vanity it is all frustration women is frustration for that brother who is wishing he had married three wives before he got born again because nada is born again he can't marry more than one they say i wish i had married three then i come born again i bring my wives of vanity it's frustration solomon had all the wealth he had anything you can talk about the queen of sheba came to solomon's mansion and the bible says she collapsed she fainted when she saw the elegance she saw the the the the the world she saw the the the opulence she saw them you know the comfort she just collapsed that's a queen the a queen of a kingdom and solomon stood up and said vanity of vanity all these things are valid let's hear the conclusion of the whole matter fear god and keep his commandments that is the whole duty of man because through fulfillment in the is in the discovery of god's plan for your life fulfillment is not in the acquisition of stuff fulfillment is not in how many cars you have and own fulfillment it's not in how many houses you are built and how many how many women you have no no true fulfillment is the discovery of god's plan and purpose for your life and once you find that that is the definition of true success you come to a place where you're fulfilled you're contented i may not have a car but i'm contented i may not have too much money but i'm contented i drink my gary and granola i have peace of mind and i'm a happy man but you're eating your chicken and you're eating your wine but you are depressed because both of us are not on the same wavelength you are looking for success by men's definition i am successful by god's definition which is the fulfillment that i require for my heart if i'm teaching good this morning somebody shout i hear you yeah so fulfillment therefore is the proof of god's will being fulfilled that is fulfilling god's plan is the proof of the will of god not success in what you're doing you can succeed outside of god's purpose and plan and to god that success is failure you can have a good home you can have a successful marriage with an unbeliever but that marriage is not godly don't always think that unbelievers don't have good marriages you are deceiving yourself there are unbelievers that are living very happy husband and wife they are living peaceful they have raised their children they have money they are okay they are comfortable husband and wife they don't even correct like christians coral they're just happy together and they have lived together for years in that marriage but they don't know jesus they are unbelievers like that but it's just that when they look at their lives they are still empty because nothing fills up the hunger in the soul of a man other than christ so don't always think unbelievers don't have good marriages you lie some of them have better marriages than many christians i'm serious so don't always say if a man an unbeliever you won't have a good marriage unbelievers that their heads are cool-headed you see an unbelieving girl you think she understands the fruit of the spirit car cooler like chilled water from the fridge and there are men whose heads are at home they are not born again but their head is at home so when a man whose head is at home meets a girl that her life is like water from the freezer their life is good but there's an emptiness that still remains that only jesus feels so fulfillment therefore is the definition of success in the will of god fulfillment fulfillment fulfillment it's not just about we don't have problem in our marriage no that's not success you can have a marriage that doesn't have problem but both of you are not fulfilled because you're not in the will of god look at psalm 127 verse one psalms one two seven is everybody enjoying this teaching psalm one two seven verse one except the lord build the house the labor is a labor or labor okay labor labor the labor in vain that build it watch they built it their house was built it's not that they tried to build they didn't build they built their house but in vain yeah you went for business you are now a multi-millionaire but your life is vain you're empty your bank account is fat and busting but your heart is empty you have the best of cars the latest models but inside the car is like you are inside the dustbin because the ability to enjoy it is not there you can build a house but not have a home yeah you have a beautiful house but it's not a home yeah because success is not in the acquisition of materials it's not true success is the knowledge of christ if any man glory let him glory that he knows this that he knows me he said the water that i shall give you if you drink the water of natural success you will test but when i give you my own water you'll never test that's what we call fulfillment somebody shout i hear you yeah that's what we call fulfillment please stay with me so except the lord build the house the labor put it up the label in vain that build it except the lord keep the city the watchman wicked but in vain that's why some people who are into goal setting goal setting goal setting i believe in goal setting set your goals but do not measure success by those goals don't measure success by the goals you set because sometimes you fulfill your goals and then you know inside your spirit that even though you'll fulfill your goals you went out of the will of god to fulfill it you went out of the will of god to fulfill those goals most of the times you're the only one that will know that this is god's plan other people will clap for you and celebrate you that you have succeeded inside you you know that god didn't want me here i'm in a strange environment how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land by the rivers of there we sat there we went when we remember for the way they carried us away required from us how shall we sing in our strength [Music] so there are people singing the lord's song in a strange land out of the will of god out of the plan of god for their lives somebody said how can a man of god be singing burning him in the church who told his bonnie is there in the bible it's in the book of psalms i just have to answer somebody quickly singing the lost song in a strange land out of the will of god strange land strange environment in a strange relationship singing the lost song in a strange relationship you know that that relationship is out of the will of god you know that you cannot be unequally yoked together with unbelievers you are dancing around with an unbeliever and you are singing the lord's song you are endangering your life you're endangering your life it's in vain man anything that does not have eternal impact is in vain anything that is at the end of life when it all matters if it doesn't have eternity in it you wasted time the reward of your christian work don't come on this earth one day you will stand before jesus someday you will stand before jesus and everything in your heart will be made bare one of these days there will be no more sunlight one of these days there will be no more rainfall one of these days the stars will disappear one of these days there will be no morning no afternoon no evening one of these days there will be no night time one of these days all of life will be over and you will not be naked face to face with your creator to give account of how you lived while you walk the face of the earth one of these days i don't care whether you take it serious if you like laugh at me right now as it was in the days of noah they laughed at him and called him stupid old man they called him a jew guy he said this noah is a jew guy he doesn't understand the times he doesn't know what time he's saying then the rain started falling they didn't started falling no i was saying come inside they say oh no come stupid old man you're just dreaming rain is normal now it's normal for rain to fall it will soon be gone the door was closed the rain was falling it was too late you're hearing god talk to you today don't think you will always hear it you better make the adjustments you need to make you better make hay while the sun shines if you're not born again you better get born again you better do that quickly because her eternity is real there is life after death that is not the end of life everyone will appear before god some will appear before the white throne judgment some will appear before the judgment seat of christ but everybody will appear before god how you live your life whether you followed god on earth or you didn't will determine whether you smile over there or not what did you do god will ask you are you obedient or disobedient if you build a house without god it is in vain it cannot last brother paul says i don't want to be a cast away i put my body under that after preaching to others i won't be cast away he is saved paul is righteous paul is saved but paul said i have a run a restaurant i have a race to run and i'm gonna run my race i'm gonna run around my wrist love fully ladies and gentlemen you're born again of the holy spirit but there's a race ahead of you and you have to run that race love fully a plan for your life you're not an accident there's a purpose of god for your life there's a will of god for your life you can live all your life outside of god's will and you can live your life in god's will so success is not the proof that what you did was right an armed robber goes to rob and he rob succeeds in robin that's not success that's robbery that's not success so that you succeeded in doing what you wanted to do doesn't make it the will of god what makes it the will of god is that you did what god wanted and the product of it is that you're fulfilled praise god i say praise god i'm not saying if you follow god's will you will not succeed true success is in following the will of god sometimes we get goals and we insist my goal i must achieve my goal i must achieve my goal we insist you know some people are just determined even when god is showing you sickness that thing you're pursuing is not my plan for you they make up their mind to do it by all means and they lose god and gain this world because indicators were there to make you know that this don't go this part but you determine you're made up of your mind nobody can change you know they are stubborn people i made on my mind nobody can change my mind nobody can change my mind if you like talk from that morning what i will do i will do it doesn't matter whether god is happy or not i will do what i will do have your way god is not going to force you no he's not i don't care dr damina you say that we should not be unequally you don't believe us i've been waiting for a believer to talk to me about marriage nobody is talking anybody that come now marry him now marry him after all i've been praying god is not answering my prayer frustration has set him and the reason why you get frustrated is because you refuse to stay with god otherwise you shouldn't be frustrated shall marry an unbeliever if god like let him put me in hell no problem or marry an hell will start for you on earth it is this head he will start the hell from there are people that are married right now if they can die somebody their wife and children and escape that would be their greatest deliverance i'm not joking i'm not joking they are looking for who to adopt their wife and adopt their children let them go the only reason why they are still is because they have not found an adapter is they adapt to our doctor i'm teaching good this morning if they find somebody they would dash him the wife you want my wife take free of that children follow take the furniture take everything i beg me can you go now by force don't be my force make up go live i'm serious i'm very serious a pastor came from lagos and said to me dr damina look let me tell you the truth i'm tired of ministry i want to i want to i want to sell to you my church and my members how much will you buy i see how many members he said 27 of them all of them plus the building and instruments buy make your offer i say i'm not interested god didn't send me he said please deliver me i'm tired i said sorry look for another person i don't have that kind of money to buy church and members i don't have it he said it's not expensive i said no no even if he's free i don't want god has not shown me to adopt a church and members a man is selling his church at ministry is he wife and children he will not sell you love him in this yo a pastor stood up and escaped from his wife is kept i'm not joking he escaped from his wife left everything for her only carried the clot he's wearing with a small bag so that she will not see when he's escaping he escaped abroad how he got abroad only god knows nobody heard from him for five six seven years the wife was busy fasting and praying for him to come back he had gone and started a new life became a taxi driver used taxi to gather money and then move move move move finally landed in europe married a wife in europe the same spirit that pursued him from acquiring met him in europe he beat the wife you beat a european not an african a european in her country he beat her i went to visit them i was preaching there and i went to visit them in my presence he gave her a slap blood was coming out of her nose i said excuse me we are no more friends from today our friendship ends eternally i can't have a wife abuser as a friend no i left the place few weeks after i left when the wife threatened him with police he packed his load again left everything he had bought a house he had bought all kinds of things he had made some money he left the house left everything ran from europe london in america started taxi driver in america i'm in america preaching it shows up margaret what are you doing here i say this is where i am now married another woman in america another one third wife i'm not joking third wife in america had children one or two children with her white woman one day she came home and said to him it's been wonderful living with you i'm living now have the children have everything i'm gone he knelt down begging and crying the wife told him i'm gone she left he has been the one living he's stunned by dawn what kind of life is this abbas embark when you make the wrong decision and you start you start missing the tangent because if the tangent is there and you start missing the tangent if you are not careful you keep going you keep going it keeps going wider till you're totally out of the plan of god for your life i'm serious that's why you don't play with decisions that you're making in life because they could take you away totally from the plan of god you'll be lost you're on earth but you're lost you wake up in the night you don't know whether it is morning or evening even when it is dark you are still wondering whether it is afternoon because you are lost that's why you must strive to locate the plan and stay in the plan of god beginning from the elementary choices you're making up to the major choices you're making in life this teaching is so important for me that i'm not even in a hurry because i really want to make sure you understand it so that you can live out your best life you can live out the will of god and live out a life of fulfillment i'm teaching good see being stubborn is not a virtue being stubborn is not a virtue the bible calls stubbornness witchcraft i'm very stubborn i know myself i'm very stubborn what you're saying is i'm a witch i know myself i'm a witch it's not a virtue the bible definition for stubbornness is witchcraft you shouldn't be stubborn you shouldn't be stubborn you should be swift to hear and slow to speak you should be somebody that can make adjustments because when you are stubborn you manipulate every process to your advantage when you're stubborn you manipulate and when you manipulate processes that's witchcraft because witchcraft is domination witchcraft is intimidation witchcraft is manipulation when you are manipulative and intimidating and dominating you are in witchcraft see witchcraft is not flying in the night the most dangerous witchcraft is that young man with tie and suit who does not hear anything but uses everything to his advantage that's the most dangerous the one with two open eyes and he's bewitching people around that's the most dangerous the flying one is baby witches if you just if you just carry water gone in the spirit and you twerk they die real witchcraft is the man that is with his open eye walking around and using manipulating people by stubbornness to his advantage that one is the most dangerous because you can't kill him people are talking about witchcraft spirit of which god live spirit which crowd is a walk of the flesh you know his spirit is a work of the flesh in galatians chapter five now the works of the flesh are manifest with craft witchcraft is a work of the flesh because it's manipulation and stubborn people are the ones that have that tendency they don't listen to anybody at all i know myself nobody can talk to me when a woman talk like that nobody can talk to me what i will do i will do i'm going to show you i'm going to show that i'm a woman i'm going to show you that woman has been consumed by witchcraft that man needs to pray seriously because what he is up against is willful witchcraft intentional deliberate calculated witchcraft and you cannot break people's will you cannot force people's will people will only yield their will when they want to so you can't even pray you can only arrange circumstances and that will take time when you hear people say i'm stubborn and you are trying to marry them tell them what did you say you're stubborn i'm coming i'm copying i will soon come escape run for your life because what the person is telling is i'm a witch even you i will use you to my advantage i don't care about you i care about me i know many people here that used to say i'm stubborn we never say it again even right now there are some people inside their mind they're saying i'm not stopping i know i'm not stopped am i teaching good i said am i teaching good there are sometimes in following god's plan for your life it will appear like you didn't succeed sometimes it will appear like you're not successful you know by human standards sometimes following god's plan certain things may not work out yet they are working out for other people but they are not working out for you it's not god rejecting you it's not because it's because within the parameters of what god wants to do with you those things may not be needed right now or may never be needed or there's an appointed time in the future where they will fit in well remember remember when it is be when it is out of god's time it is not god's will when you are doing it to the people that god did not designate it is not god's will when you are not doing it the way god said it it is not god's will it is only god's will when you are doing it the way god said it with the right people at the right time don't be hasty don't be in a hurry don't be quick to arrive at the conclusion of things the bible says the righteous do not make haste the righteous do not make haste proverbs 21 31 proverbs 21 31 the horse is prepared against the day of battle but safety is of the lord [Music] fulfillment is of the lord the horse is prepared there is a day of battle everything is in place but only god grants safety there is a way that cement right unto a man all the analysis are accurate all the calculations are accurate feasibility study is accurate but the end is destruction the end of that way is destruction it looks good right now but it ends in destruction it ends in destruction it ends in disclosure you get involved in something that the next step you will take in it is misfortune before you enter the holy ghost warned you because the holy ghost knows the end from the beginning but you were stubborn because here looked very good you didn't know that after here the rest is disaster and as you took your step and walked in without god you came out of what looked good and landed in disaster now you start crying out then god in his mercy will not have to start navigating to see the remaining of you that can be salvaged because there will be losses you know there will be losses in acts 27 brother paul told them you should have had you should have listened to me i told you people we shouldn't travel you insist that we should travel he said now an angel appeared to me because their lives were threatened he said none of you will die but we will lose the ship and our properties there will be losses your life will be saved but there will be losses and those losses are uncalled for you can't afford this too expensive to walk out of the plan of god for your life it's too expensive to walk out of god's purpose it's good that's why brother paul prayed that you walk worthy of the lord unto all pleasing being fruitful on to every good work isaiah 40 31 day that wait on the lord shall renew their strength isaiah chapter 14 verse 31 it is a good thing to wait on the lord but they that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint when you

teach me lord teach me lord to wait i've met people in life who are in a hurry some of them said hey belle you don't like success the way you're going is like you don't like success we were in a hurry i took my time i followed the lord it may look slow many of them wear are they today i'm still here coming i'm still here coming i'm still some of them we don't know where they are in this life they told me to my face it looks like you don't like success they want to put me under pressure i took my time and i'm still taking my time a lady met me few years ago she said papa if you know what god has done for me i said what did god talk to me about it she said i was in a bible every saturday i will attend a friend's wedding every saturday i will attend a friend's wedding at a point they reduce me to osha every of their wedding i go they will make me share food they will make me share food all my friends married including the junior ones i said to god what is it now nobody is talking to me about marriage well she kept just serving the lord and faithfully waiting on the lord mama and i know the lady she's from acquire bomb here she said one day they just arranged one wedding like that and she went to the wedding and one british expatriate came for the wedding from england on arrival he saw her mistakenly or as for arranged she served him food and he liked her she said young lady what's your name she told him where do you go to church she told him and all of that so after that wedding reception he went to a pastor i said to the pastor there's a lady that was serving me food today i'm interested i want to marry i've been looking for a wife for years now but i really feel this is my wife who are you blah blah blah got the details oh talk to his pastor in london everything is okay he's a faithful brother he's on fire for god all right you want to marry her your pastor has told me you're okay she's a wonderful she's one of the best we have she's a wonderful sister giving to the lord loves the lord he said i want to marry her quickly i'll do the traditional marriage within the next few days can we meet our parents that's how they met their parents chop shop within one week they'll finish traditional marriage within another week the man has already fixed wedding white wedding you know and as an expatriate he invited different countries on our wedding day people flew from all over the place came into acquire bomb here they flew flags of different nations all those people she was busy having food in their wedding they were treating her like receptionist they came with their children and they were having food in our own wedding after their wedding they flew to london they live in london they live in london not escaping they live in london you didn't hear what i said you didn't hear what i said wait on the lord it is a good thing to wait on the lord you cannot be wasted if you're waiting on the lord am i teaching here yeah it may look like life has left you life never leaves a man that you should christ christ is life you didn't hear what i just said life never leaves a man that is in christ christ is life don't be frustrated don't be desperate follow god's plan everything is step by step no haste no hurry you know ministry is not a legacy everybody has to do his ministry you do yours i do mine you know you do yours i do mine and when it comes to ministry you've got to be able to answer god for yourself my children will answer god for themselves jemima just made giles they answer god for themselves i teach them i show them what to do but ultimately they make decisions for themselves when it comes to jesus and and you know what they do with jesus on earth because the day they will face jesus i won't be there i won't be standing to say i'm their father they will all face jesus independently and talk to jesus for themselves no father decides for a child the father can only guide and counsel and that's why parents must surround their children with with everything they need to help them make the right choices and decisions in life but ultimately they have to make those decisions if they decide to do ministry that's their choice if they decide not to do ministry i'm not going to force them to do ministry because i'm a minister i'm going to show them their responsibility as believers to preach the gospel and to get people to come to the knowledge of christ but i'm not going to force them and tell them you must be a preacher no they've got to make that choice they've got to make that choice depending on their work with the lord and what the lord is speaking to them but i'm gonna show them all of that as their responsibility ultimately they have to make their choices so you must be open to the leading of the spirit we're looking at career we're looking at ministry we're looking at relationships we're looking at marriage we're looking at major decisions of life that can get that can cost us or that can bless us if you're fulfilling god's will the bible says you'll be a city set on the hill that cannot be hit yeah you'll be a city certainly here so the reason you are hidden is because god hasn't set you you can't set yourself it is god that sets let god set you do you know what i said is god that sets man if you have areas of your life where you are challenged as a young man you have certain habits that are not good or you have certain struggles to live right and live holy and you are struggling with those things don't make them a secret if you make them a secret they will destroy you submit them to god in prayer pray about them god will give you wisdom and give you strength to overcome those challenges but if you keep them as a secret they will eat you up you submit them to god in prayer so that he gives you the strength and the wisdom and the strategy to overcome it you know somebody said to me about dr damina if they post me to go for nysc in boko haram state should i go pray about it pray about it because there are people that have gone to boko haram states and they brought back their coffins so those are not the kind of things you just stand up and go you pray about it you talk to god about it you talk to god about it and god will give you wisdom and direction on what to do and how not to go and you still do the nyse without going yeah sure and there are some that god will tell you go because god wants to use you in those places as the light of the gospel and he will give you directions and give you grace and when you enter there every hold of the enemy will give way and you will see yourself do the will of god in that place so that's why you've got to follow god to know whether to go or not to go it's god it's you and god something but they posted me they posted you day who are they do they know you do you know who posted you you don't know okay leave your life to to people who don't know you and you don't know them you pray about it especially when it has to go to such areas where there's a lot of of threats to life there's persecution severe persecution you're not just walking there you pray about it you seek god's mind and direction on it when you're leaving your country you need to hear from god you can't leave nigeria to another country to go and live there without hearing from god you can't you can't just relocate because that's a major decision marriage is a major decision because listen carefully everybody if you're making those write this down you can never succeed beyond your marriage you can never succeed beyond your marriage secondly your business relationships will determine whether you follow the will of god or not because there are some people that just get into business relationships you start praying and they get into some business relationships that really take them out of the will of god so when it comes to career location business you need to pray and seek counsel now listen to another one it is important to pray much more when your decision affect other people's lives pray much more when your decision is going to affect other people's lives there are decisions you make that affect other people when else you do it business partnership marriage ministry take more time to pray because you are dealing with other people's choices and will other people's choices and will even if you are on fire for god fire you marry someone possessed by the devil you will have more problems because it takes you to have marriage if you marry somebody that is possessed you will have many problems because first of all your father-in-law is satan and he will visit his daughter in his daughter satan will visit his son-in-law wouldn't he you of your father the devil so since satan is the father of that lady or the father of that young man your father-in-law will visit and when he's coming he will come with gifts from the village father-in-law always comes with gift he will bring the bread of sickness the ambala of sorrow he will bring the gary of affliction and when he's going he will steal he will kill you destroy you wonder why everything is like that papa came i was so close i'm teaching good this morning am i blessing somebody because i do not be unequally yoked together light and darkness because it's not going to work it's not going to work and it's important for you to also know that when it comes to business relationships and partnership in business it can affect your christian life that's why anything you get from people who are not born again you have to test it with the truth of god's word many of us listen to rich people we listen to rich people as our mentors rich people people that look successful you know as our mentors then we submit to their mentorship when you submit to the mentorship of an unbelieving successful man what is influencing you will influence you anything influencing him will influence you if you submit to their mentorship what is making it work for them will come over you so that's why even when you are studying the books of successful rich men who are not born again you have to take what they are saying and subject it to the scrutiny of god's word to see whether it fits or not and if it doesn't you trust it don't trust it it's not everything you take the things of this world come with the spirit of this world you've got to check you've got to check test it with the spirit of god you have to test everything because it can mislead you if you take thoughts listen carefully if you take thoughts from a godless man your thoughts will be godless if you take thoughts from a godless man your thoughts will be godless it's not rocket science is there any marriage ordained in heaven dr damina is there any marriage ordained in heaven like you sleep and see a sister in your dream or you sleep and see a brother in your dream that is two people were sent by god from heaven to earth to get married no jesus has an answer for us i begin to round up matthew 22 verse 24 matthew 22 24 saying master moses said if a man died having no children his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother next verse now there were with all seven brethren and the first when he had married a wife deceased and having no issue left his wife unto his brother like the second of life was the second also and the third unto the seventh and last of all the woman died also now this is a true story this is not a parable it was not jesus telling it was the people telling jesus what happened in their town a woman buried her seven husbands and she herself was buried at the last next verse therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven for they all had her number one look at what jesus answered them next verse you do air not knowing the scripture not the power of god next verse for in the resurrection they neither marry nor are giving a marriage but as the angels of god in heaven two things there's no marriage in the resurrection number one number two they do not give children a marriage in the resurrection so god has ordained marriage as an institution but god has not ordained any two people to be married god has ordained marriage as an institution but god has not ordained any two people to marry nobody say you know if you don't marry the will of god in for your wife which is that sister life will be bitter no there's no particular sister that is the will of god for your marriage and there's no particular brother that is the will of god for your marriage there's none to marry is your choice marriage is a choice there's no much making by god god does not match make people in first corinthians 7 brother paul said he said even in the choice not to marry you know if you're married and the unbelieving depart let them go you are free not to marry paul said you are free not to marry in first timothy 5 he says if there is a woman that is a widow and she is a young woman let her marry her husband died let her marry another person he said let her marry don't allow her to be widowed alone move push her to go and marry so she does not grow one tongue is there in the bible which means there are no two people that are specifically meant for each other which means in the choice of marriage there are options you look at the options and go for the best of all the options you didn't hear that you didn't hear that if god want me to marry i must marry you that's witchcraft that's being stubborn i must marry you anyhow i must marry you if i have to charm your drink with love portion i will put it you must marry me by force anyway that's unbelievers talking but i'm not surprised that some christians do that you know and the only brother that can be charmed with love person is a brother doesn't know who he is in christ because the brother knows who he is in christ who drink the love portion of beloved christ the love pastor has done to love passion for jesus glory to god so if you are looking at me as if what i'm saying is strange you know it is not strange is it strange no stranger he's no stranger so the will of god in marriage not a brother or a sister specific the will of god in marriage is your choice but god gave you counsel on who to choose god doesn't choose for you he gives you counsel that guides you on who to choose so therefore there are people that god will guide you and in guiding you make the choice because there are people that should be in your life but they have chosen not to be your life listen carefully everybody there are people that should be in your life but i've chosen not to be in your life so because they chose not to be in your life it could take you a bit longer to get people that will be in your life that will help you to fulfill the purpose of god because their will is involved so when you pray god will take time to arrange circumstances to bring them ultimately into your life so that's why sometimes there are delays in relationships that's sometimes there are delays in the plan of god for your life because the people that god will have used to walk that plan we are not willing so god will have to you know walk walk walk around people that will be willing to come into that plan for your life and that could generate delays but delays in god are not denials because within those delays you are still in the will of god if i marry the will of god will i have trials and tests in my marriage yes every marriage will be tested both christian and non-christian for christians the test will destroy them for non-christians this time the test will strengthen you to strengthen you hallelujah am i blessing you i said am i blessing you remember anywhere there is no forgiveness anywhere there is no forgiveness it will be difficult to find god there so if you are getting married to somebody who doesn't know how to forgive you're going out of the will of god for christians for non-christians it will destroy them for christians it will strengthen them is it right now sometimes the mouth doesn't say what the mind says your mind is saying something in your mouth you're saying something else you wonder how did you come out amen someone who doesn't forgive don't marry them a man that doesn't forgive don't marry him a woman that does not know how to forgive don't marry her you will live in perpetual torment all your life praise god so we're going to get into more of these are you blessed we're going to get into more of these say with me i will follow the plan of god i will follow the purpose of god say god has a clear plan and a purpose for my life i will not miss it i will follow it i will walk in it and i will fulfill it i didn't hear a good amen but that's that's the truth there's a plan for you you're not an accident stand on your feet and walk to two three people tell them you are not an accident there's a plan for your life tell them authoritatively you're not an accident there's a plan of god for your life you're not an accident there's a plan of god there's a definite plan of god for your life there is a deliberate program of god for your life glory there's a plan of god for your life and look look look let me tell you something let me tell you if you're planning to marry somebody whether man or woman all right don't judge don't judge they don't judge them don't judge their life by the way they behave towards you judge them by how they treat other people because once they know you are interested in marrying them they will pretend till after the wedding okay so towards you their attitude would be good but how are they treating other people that's the indicator that shows you that that is their true their true character and that they are just waiting for you to bring them to their house to your house then they will not bring out that character so when you want to marry somebody don't be carried away by their behavior towards you observe how they talk to others observe how they treat others observe how they forgive others because that is their real attitude i'm teaching here yes if i want to marry i'll do everything that you want me to do now i will smile i'll greet you i'll be nice i'll buy you gifts but then i'm nasty to my father i'm nasty to my mother somebody talks to me outside i caught him somebody told me something i don't forgive him i nag and nag and complain and complain and i i i'm even planning with you how to deal with the person it shows you that when you marry that person and you do something the same way it happened to others it will happen to you so the true character of the lady or of the young man you're going to marry is in how they treat other people are we teaching here because if i'm not if i'm good i'll be good to all and if i'm a bad person it will show in how i relate with people i may treat you nicely boy for a moment is for a moment somebody can pretend for five years do you understand a man's life is not five a man's life is many years so somebody can afford to pretend for five years so don't be carried away in making relationships as you begin to talk to people to get married to and don't forget i've told you it is safer to get married to people in your tribe your tribe is not ibo ibibio calaba no your tribe is your faith people within your faith within the circle and a lot of you single guys and single ladies in this church that are already thinking of getting married and these teachings are going to help you a lot because you're about to make choices and you're about to make decisions are you about to locate the right people and you get married to them and with them you will serve the will of god you didn't see a man today even in our campuses all over the world there are people making choices and decisions right now where marriage is concerned and many are making choices where career is concerned where ministry is concerned we are business relationships are concerned where the plan of god for their lives is concerned and these teachings are coming timely to help people make decisions that will ultimately bring the satisfaction that they require from god can i have a powerful amen lift your right hand let's pray for let's pray together father i pray for every man every woman boy girl child all over the world in this building in our campuses online on television on radio listening to the sound of my voice right now i ask that by revelation knowledge your people are totally edified built up the light of your word shines on the part of everyone here i command confusion to be dissolved i command confusion to be dissolved i command doubts to be dissolved you have clarity of direction in the name of jesus a decree that your steps are blessed your steps are ordered i decree that the light of god shines on your part i decree that even the decisions you are supposed to make this week you have direction in making the right decisions in the name of jesus the choices you're about to make in life you have direction and making the right choices your life is totally intentionally lived according to the plan of god for your life and i declare that you will find joy and pleasantness and peace in life in the name of jesus thank you father for answered prayer in jesus christ's name and every believer says that amen on and out of finality don't your neighbor say i will live my best life now i refuse to manage life where i am right now i have decided i will enjoy where i am on the way to where i am going every day of my life i will enjoy it while i have it as a praise you know there are people that are postponing the enjoyment of their life for the future every day they say well let me still be struggling when i get there when i get there dao now no way to get there don't wait to get there where you are now enjoy it if you don't have plenty money the little one you have enjoy [Applause] if what you have is a cricket and a critical transfer wear it and rock it well i adore enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going when you do that after a while you will see that you have lived a happy life [Music] but if you keep postponing joy and postponing enjoyment and postponing the laughter of your life for a future date that is not guaranteed after a while you will discover you have lived five years of sadness so make up your mind the little successes that god gives you every day celebrate them when you make a little progress buy a bottle of wine pop the tin and drink play some music in the house dance and enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going somebody shouted here i here [Music] enjoy where you are i've made up my mind i enjoy every day of my life every day of my life i enjoy my life if it's coca-cola and open it and drink i play

just get down and the bible talks about the good summer return what does that mean by does it mean that other samaritans were mainly bad people no in that context it was about the good things he did so he was his his personality was identified with his good acts okay you know uh he came and helped a guy that was beaten by thieves and all of that yeah so it was a parable of jesus okay so if i say if i talk about a good or quiet person it does not necessarily mean that a majority of private people are bad people no no not at all in that context you're calling him good relatively okay you know based on things he has done and actions he has done and things happen contributions and how you perceive that yeah okay so it's my privilege i'm going to open this edition of the program by

know stones and furniture very good this is eight eighty dollars sure bless you hey mrs smith young great woman very nice welcome to church global but let's get down so go over um success is not proof it's not a proof of god's will fulfillment if yeah what does that mean well fulfillment is actually being where god wants you to to be doing what god wants you to do that's exactly what fulfillment is okay because success has to do with acquisition it is possible to not be successful but you're fulfilled it's possible not to be successful by human definition but fulfilled which is success in god's definition let's get down another quick one um to follow up what i missed is uh woodward dutch which he was listening to you on radio i guess and says what does this mean you can not ever succeed or you can never succeed beyond your marriage well because marriage defines everything about your life you know you can't run away from your marriage you can't abandon your wife you can't abandon your children so whatever you're going to be to be or to do will be within the confines of your marriage and that marriage will impact ultimately in whatever you do so if your marriage is bad it's going to affect you a great deal if your marriage is good it's going to boost you a great deal so again that's why it's very important to get married too because it will ultimately determine the outcome of your life it's the freestyle edition of ask the councilor i'm going to take this one right from church here hello but you mentioned that some people are doing four jobs abroad that they miss out of ministry nobody number one is doing four jobs abroad but knowing that these same people send their support to families and ministries back here in nigeria for instance and other countries well again you are not listening well to ask that question means you are listening to me selectively nobody you can do tatty jobs if you want to do but remember i said they are doing four jobs that do not allow them fulfill their ministry or fulfill what god will have them do where ministry is concerned so again there's such thing like doing too much and there's such thing that like doing too well you know you can be doing something that is too much that you yourself are not even living you are merely existing and you can do something too well that it allows you the opportunity to do other things that are very important in your life so there's nothing wrong with four jobs but even if it's four jobs or two jobs even one job that consumes all your time you're not able to do anything else your family is abandoned your children are abandoned you know the plan of god for your life to to do ministry and fulfill god's purpose is abandoned you're doing too much you've got to slow down and you know balance out things so that you can live a life that is fulfilling okay still from that anonymous center what are the other aspects of ministry apart from preaching from the pulpit well other aspects are evangelism raising disciples you know serving in the house of god being a blessing to god's people there are so many of them first of all edition so from nigeria now go quickly to cameroon hello daddy and greetings to you mr intercontinental michael bush thanks sir so much for all that you're doing in the body of christ that's clearly too global thank you also for this platform you're such a blessing i followed your teaching on baptism and i understand clearly that there is only one baptism as written in ephesians 4 5 which is spirit baptism however i do need a little clarification according to jewel 2 28 and arts 1 5 baptism with the spirit is the spirit upon which is utterance and this happens after one is saved and is filled with the spirit which leads to speaking on the other hand according to first corinthians 12 13 baptism is union with christ the moment we are saved as the indwelling of the spirit i wish to ask the following questions is baptism different from baptism with the spirit in other words does it mean that once we are saved we are baptized into christ first corinthians 12 13 then when we are filled with spirit or yield to the leaning of the spirit we're baptized with the spirit parts to one to four thanks so much in advance for answering my question i look forward to hearing from you great grace your daughter charlotte talangua from the republic of cameroon well like i've always said there's no there's no general use of words in the bible each word is used within context so when the bible talks about baptism you know the word baptism what baptism there is baptism as a teaching there is baptism with water there is baptism which is salvation so in the new testament we only have one baptism which is salvation into christ that's what we have but in acts of the apostles you will see baptism as a teaching of john you will see baptism with water with john used to identify jesus but beyond that what we have is baptism into christ which is a union with christ that brings you together with christ which is salvation and once that happens you're baptized it's not water it is christ coming into you and saturating your entire being let's do calls now producer if you are set i am just waiting that meanwhile let me run from cameroon to the united states of america by the way still uh freestyle edition of the program the technical people work on this sound through having called back here not so good blessed day dear global baba and the intercontinental mr michael bush the baba please what does washing of faith symbolize jesus washed the feet of disciples before his death does that mean we as believers should continue to wash our feet and pray my husband argues with me so much because of my son concerning things like this and he is now threatening to break a marriage because i don't follow his instructions to go to certain prophetic meetings and do what the prophets tell us to do but rather i'm always fooling you lovable i pray that the eyes of the understanding of my husband will be enlightened i don't get angry with him but rather i pray for him so he would come to the knowledge of the truth help me please thank you my name is celestine i write from the united states of america wow well celestina sorry you're going through all of that uh for the truth that you know in christ as you keep praying his eyes will be open there's nothing like washing your feet you wash your feet every day you bath now don't you you wash your feet every day where you bath so there's nothing wrong with washing your feet but it is not a spiritual exercise it has no spiritual relevance so why did jesus wash his disciples feet it only happened one time and he was teaching them how to serve one another using symbolism it doesn't mean anything else outside of that all right global let's now leave the united states of america and head straight to germany in europe greetings daddy and mr bush please the intercontinental mr michael butch don't mention my name i write from germany though first i want to thank daddy for his teachings i have a question concerning marriage my husband and i are good believers we will listen to daddy's preaching we've been married for more than eight years he's a good man but does not support me financially at first global i was okay because i had a good job and also wanted him to build something for himself he built a house in africa and now he's investing all of his money in building a business in africa as well he has a new job i was hoping he would start helping me financially but he still keeps saying i should wait because he's still building his business back home in africa daddy i'm really tired of living like this to make matters worse if we have any problem it goes to our children and tells them very bad things about me even telling them that i'm a prostitute that i sleep around with men i just can't understand why a husband would behave like this blah blah blah even if i was a prostitute for instance should he be telling my children that and now bob i want to leave the marriage because i believe this is toxic environment would do harm to my children please advise me stay blessed wow that's a bit complicated i need to ask you more questions to be able to really give you counsel and i will need to also talk to your husband because that's what you said i don't know what your husband's version of this same story will be you know so i i can't really give you counsel based on these but my advice is if you can email us your number i wouldn't mind calling you and ask you some questions and then be able to counsel you more adequately but on a general note we just keep praying for him you know if that is the truth we pray for him for his eyes to be open and i will beg you to be a bit more patient don't be in a hurry to leave the marriage especially since you have children in that marriage you know let there be long suffering for you and just trust god for wisdom to keep navigating until things sort themselves out okay i'm ready i just want to squeeze in a call too i'm technical people producer makes sure that happens but from germany in europe let's come to africa uganda is an expert of call global hello my name is maxwell jay i write from kampala uganda thank you for the opportunity to be taught bible doctrine from the scriptures by you i'm always blessed and inspired by your teachings thank you global baba dr valdamina for the opportunity to ask my questions one is praying for the same thing over and over again a demonstration of faith or a sign of unbelief well it depends on what you're praying about there are some things you have to pray until they happen it's called the prayer of supplication for example if a lady wants to get married and she has not found a guy or a guy wants to get married and so found a lady that's not one prayer you pray and stop you keep praying and praying because as you are praying things will be opening up you'll be having direction and guidance until eventually the relationship begins and even in the relationship you keep praying until you get married and even in the marriage you keep praying so there are prayers you don't just pray once and stop you pray until it happens you know by their prayers of course you just pray once believe god and receive and begin to give thanks for them so it depends on what you're praying about okay the last one from maxwell j stealing from kampala uganda yes when is someone called of god into ministry is it before he's born as in jeremiah 1 5 and galatians 1 15 or before he receives salvation like the case of 12 disciples or when he receives salvation as in the case of stephen philip and other cases in the book of arts thank you sir i love you every child of god that is born again is called to the ministry once you receive christ there's a call of god on you for ministry every child of god but believe but know that in the old testament you know the bible says they were called while they were in their mother's womb and it was because of the way the old testament you know pattern was but even in the new testament every child is called by god even before they get born again because they are called in christ so when you receive christ you now answer to that call that has been waiting for you in christ even before you were born now when you receive christ that call becomes a reality you begin to walk in its reality so the call of god is upon every human being in christ even before they are born when jesus died on rules he called everybody but it's one thing to be called is another thing to answer the answer to that call is salvation that's where it begins then as you grow in the knowledge of christ that ministry in you begins to find expression i have a book every monday minister i will encourage you to order for that book from our office it will help you with a lot more so you are enriched in this knowledge okay we have five minutes to round up this edition of the program effectively two three minutes to say a bye bye so i go to this anonymous location bless avenue right i need the council or in chief to counsel me on a matter on how to separate from my father to begin what god gave me to do because right now every time i preach the gospel senior pastors in the church always bring me problems even the senior pastor accuses me of things which are truly stated in the bible so sir how can i approach them about me leaving well they want to leave a church because they don't agree with you doctrinally you live respectfully go to the pastor tell him thank you sir you've helped me a lot in my life thank you for your investments thank you for time you spent to pray and bless me you know but i sti i feel i need time to stay away from the church i want to pray and seek direction as to what god will have me do i may not be around in church for some time but i will keep you posted as i make progress now when you say that to a pastor he may insist but he will not keep you by force and then when you are gone after one to three months you'll come back to him and say pastor i know exactly what god wants me to do i've just come to tell him i'm not going to be in this church anymore but from wherever i am if i have opportunity to still help or be a blessing here i'll be willing to do that so that way you left well you left without bad feelings and you're able to live without creating problems for the church where you were before you left 120 seconds that's all the time i have i'll try and squeeze in two entries one from nigeria and the other from zimbabwe okay so from nigeria is the um abel damina viewer disciple the reverend samadallah you know ocean state is god abused when a spirit-filled christian tongues while he's busy sending texts washing clothes in the restroom or while sweeping is that wrong god is not abused but you're just making you're making you're you're taking for granted things of the spirit that you're not supposed to okay you're talking to your governor you drop your phone you're talking to an important person that is promising you money you keep your phone then now you're talking with god you're playing with your phone it shows how serious you are and i think he even got them went on there to say they say we can talk to earthly kings without respect let alone the king of uh kings lord of lords okay we can't and that when a pastor says praise god members should respond we'll shout salutia by standing up until the shouting ends very common practices and some denominations now so it's reverence actually you reverence god and in reverencing god you don't play with things that will distract you and make you look on serials in his presence okay i just need to squeeze on this one as we round off tariro harare zimbabwe rubble baba i've been following your teachings consistently for close to a year now my friend introduced me to the channel and it's been life-changing i currently attend one of uh local churches it's been it's quite popular even internationally however for some time i started feeling that it's not where i should be further got confirmed when i started listening to our teachings i have not been growing at all from their teachings in over a year and i do agree i don't agree anymore with their practices thanks to enlightenment i have been receiving through the word from you so here are my questions should i continue giving at the church where i currently attend even though i do not believe it anymore why would you give your money to a course you don't believe in you're just being funny and finally give to what you've been absolutely and finally is there an extension of power city international out
