that we take our father the lord to the next level of anointing of power of greatness listen listen so that we can aim down some with understanding i was confused concerning the word prayer and i discovered one thing in grammar when somebody knows how to sing it's a singer when somebody knows how to dance he's a dancer we call people teacher because they teach so i say if if i pray i should be referred to as prayer but god said no you cannot be referred to a prayer because you don't know how to pray because you are not the one praying if the holy spirit are praying through you so we are we know without the holy spirit nothing can be done and that's the reason why we are releasing our father and allah into the hand of the holy spirit and the only pray we take our daddy to the next level

to shout out [Applause] ancient of days once again we worship you from the bottom of our hearts we shout hallelujah to you please accept our worship in jesus name [Applause] in a very very special way tonight father speak to every one of us in jesus mighty name we have prayed amen once again shout out another hallelujah [Applause] before we proceed with our discussion let me once again say thank you very much for your sure of love thanks to all of you who have sent us gifts in one form of another thank you for praying for us thank you for everything now once upon a time one of my children did something very big for me and i said to him thank you god bless you next time will be more he left my office and told his friend look at daddy is that all he's going to say for what i did his friend said what what were you expecting i thought he would say thank you in a bigger way probably escort me to the car well i said well maybe he doesn't understand if i say thank you too much god himself won't be able to say thank you because he would say i've already said oh the thank you secondly if i say thank you too much he might look down and say what's going on that fellow is a messenger i am the source a thank you should come to god not the messenger so if you don't hear me saying thank you thank you ephesian chapter 5 we've been reading from verse 15 to 17. see then that he walks circumspectly not as fools but as wise redeeming the time because the days are evil we are forbidden not on wise but understanding what the will of the lord is that is our basic text but tonight we want to add luke chapter 12 from verse 16 to 21. luke chapter 12 from verse 16 to 21 i will read that to you and then give you yet another passage and he spoke a parable unto them that the law speaks a parable unto them saying the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plenty fully and he thought within himself saying what shall i do because i have no room where to my fruits and he said this will i do i will pull down my bonds and build greater and there will i be stole all my fruits are my goods and i will say to my soul soul thou has much goods laid out for many years take their ease eat drink and be married but god said unto him thou fool this night thy soul shall be required of thee then whos shall those things be which thou has provided so we see that layer of treasure for himself and is not to reach toward god one more bible passage first corinthians chapter 11 verse 1. first corinthians 11 verse 1. paul was speaking and he said be ye followers of me [Music] even as i also am of christ tonight as we continue with our study and i think we should be discussing part five now or what part five all right we want to talk of the issue of priority and the issue of association we are talking about redeeming the time but we want to look at that topic from the perspective of priority and the perspective of association i might take a bit of a time tonight because i believe [Music] somebody must have prayed like i asked you to do god will make sure i tell you everything that they want you to hear because tonight we are combining as it were two lectures into one because god says you must hear these two i will try to be as quick as i can as mathematical as possible but i took a few minutes longer here we have the story of a man who was successful he had a bunch of harvest and he looked around and saw that his present ban cannot contain everything so he said i know what i will do pull down my present burn build a bigger one store all this wealth and enjoy myself for the rest of my life he thought within himself soul you have enough now for years to come relax and god said you are a fool because you are living this world tonight in this story alone we see many of the things that we've already learned that our god is generous when he blesses it doesn't bless changingly we see here a fool we've done a lot of definitions about we say wise man who is a fool we see clearly here one of the characteristics of the fool because there's nothing in everything this man said about saying thank you to god it was only concerned about himself we see here again in this story the fact that we don't know when our time will run out i pray one more time for all of us who are listening to me today this will not be your last solemn assembly in the story of this man we need to learn one or two lessons very quickly one of the lessons is that god is not against success god is not against prosperity god is not against fruitfulness don't misunderstand him someone from verse one to three someone from verse one to three may declare that if you satisfy certain conditions everything you touch will prosper joshua chapter 1 from verse 1 to 8 joshua 1 from verse 1 to 8 tells us that if you do certain things you won't have just ordinary success but you have good success psalm 35 verse 27 psalm 35 27 tells us that god has pleasure in the prosperity of his servants and i'm sure i remember i think it was yesterday afternoon when we were discussing the various questions of life that our basic purpose for being created is to give god pleasure and the bible says it has pleasure in your prosperity he wants you to prosper believe it or not god hates poverty it is clearly stated in his word proverbs chapter 10 verse 15 proverbs 10 verse 15 that poverty is a destroyer the destruction of the poor is their poverty god is not against fruitfulness he loves fruitfulness he hates fruitlessness john chapter 15 from verse 1 to 7 john 15 1-7 tells us that every branch that bears fruit a project is so that you can bear more fruit the brand that is not bearing fruit he tears it away it would dry up and it will be thrown into the fire john 15 verse 1 to 7. in luke 13 from verse six to nine looked at him from verse six to nine when he finds a tree that is just cumbering the ground not producing fruits he said cut it down in the story of the talent in matthew chapter 25 from verse 14 to 30 matthew 25 from verse 14 to 30. [Music] if there's anything at all that we learned from that story is number one god expressed you to multiply number two it doesn't mind you starting small that he hates you remaining small the while got one talent did not multiply and so they took the one talent from him in luke chapter 12 verse 32 luke 12 32 god says fear not little flock for it is your father's will to give you the kingdom and like one of my sons pointed out what is it that god called little flock luke chapter 12 verse 1 luke 12 1 a crowd so many that they cannot be numbered and they were practically stepping on one another he called them lee to flock that tells you that he doesn't want you to remain smart and i'm decreeing to somebody here today in the name that's above every other name you will become mighty [Applause] so the issue with this man who succeeded who became fruitful in the mighty way is not the plentifulness of a service the issue is what next after the abundance you see because in proverbs chapter 1 verse 32 proverbs 1 verse 32 the bible says the prosperity of fools will destroy them [Music] you want to prosper be wise because if you remain a and prosperity comes prosperity of foods will destroy i'm here at wanting very very quickly because nowadays there are several people who want to prosper by any means if you if your own idea of prosperity is by stealing by defrauding by manipulating records remember it is written as a partridge who lay on eggs and arch them not so will anyone who gathers with not by right means we die in the noon of their days and at the end be a fool if you want to prosper and you are going about it elicit way you will get the money but god will see to it that you don't spend it you buy a car with illicit money [Music] you are riding in a moving coffin i have to do that before the issue is not how successful you are the issue is the issue of priority the issue is always what next in first king chapter 13 from verse 1 to 24 first king 13 from verse 1 to 24 tests of the story of the young prophet god sent him on an errand he delivered the message he performed miracles in the process he left out a different way than he came he didn't eat in the town just as god commanded him that he rested before he got home that's why an old prophet who is no longer hearing from god martin lied to him through them an angel appeared to him you know the rest of the story the young prophet believed the old prophet went back at the same old prophet now heard from god i told the young prophet because you have disobeyed god you won't reach up and you know the rest of the story elijah met him on the way and killed him the question god is always expecting you to ask is what next lord our rest is going to be in heaven that's where we will rest for eternity here we must keep moving on after each achievement the next question will be lord what next one of my sons a bishop in another ministry came to say hello to me this afternoon of my birthday and he said something if i don't learn anything at all from you i have learned one thing hard work does not kill so because if i had more kills you should be dead several times over hard work doesn't kill it makes you younger what next take a case of elijah and i'm doing a series on elijah on sundays i believe we are following a true two o'clock nigerian time afternoon after decreeing abundance to the widow of zarapath there will always be food in this house he said and it happened that way was that the end of his ministry several of that things followed you see how to raise the dead he see how to call down fire from heaven he see her to pray for rain to fall essentially there and several others that you know about in the scriptures in the case of paul the apostle that we're going to be talking about a little later in acts chapter 19 from verse 11 to 12 acts 19 11 to 12. the bible tells us that god performed special miracles by the hand of paul the sanchez were healing the sick casting out demons is that all is he hard to move on i raised the dead in acts chapter 20 from verse 7 to 12 acts 27 to 12. is that all no you see how to move on in that chapter 28 from verse 1 to 10 acts 20 from verse 1 to 10. the island of melita he healed everybody on that island is that all if he ended up writing one third of the new testament he just kept on going some nine years or so plus now ago when i was getting ready for my retirement i had a plan thank you lord i'm going to be 70 i will soon be returning now i will i will be able to do what i want to do and i told god what i really wanted to do i said for the first two months or three after retirement i will go round the whole world in a boat in a cruise first hundred days eat and sleep be normal like every human being wake up eat and if you are looking for food eh go on a cruise i'm still praying that one of these days we have a boat of our own and then after that i will now sit down take the bible from genesis verse by verse and do a commentary that when i die there'll be a treasury waiting for others that was my plan but of course everything is subject to the commander-in-chief it's a retirement that pleasure is not for you son at least not yet what next that's what you should be asking particularly those of you who think that you've already succeeded now because the problem with that man is that as the bible says a his priority is wrong now let me relax let me begin to enjoy i've treasured little for many more years and i've told us before life is always moving the world is rotating now you know again time is like a river the river is flowing on on ceaselessly you stop you'll be left behind [Music] and i told you the story of my teacher my headmaster way back in 1952 i'm telling the story because of those of you who never heard it he came from saint andrews college yo-yo and in those days oh oh santa andrews was a big name he came as what was called in those days certificated teacher to come and be the headmaster in my village when he was arriving all the hunters in the village welcomed him with gun salute anytime a white man visited he was the one they called to come and interpret whether interpreted correctly or not only god knows so he was a big man he was one of the few who has shoes in the village so he thought this is life kept on enjoying then in 1977 25 years later i was already a lecturer at the university of lagos i got a letter from my headmaster he introduced himself you remember me and of course i remember the immediate ah so i have heard that you are now lecturing at the university of lagos please help me to win to gain admission to come and do associative diploma in education 25 years later 25 years before gone salute to welcome him 25 years later even if you have a phd you have to apply for a job to remain fresh you must keep on moving forward keep moving keep moving your parity must always be [Music] what next what more can i do because if you ask the question what time is it the correct answer should be it is time to move higher to work harder to serve god better to reorder your priorities your poverties must be seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness and then all other things will be added unto you remember that passage we read yesterday john chapter 9 verse 4 john 9 verse 4 the lord said the night comes when no man can walk and in reordering your priorities instead of your priority being more close more houses more land more pleasure the priority now will be how do i catch up with those who have left me behind as we started discussing this morning and like i told you if the people you are pursuing are standing still it will be easy to catch up with them if they are not stopping if they are walking then you have to run if they are running then you have to fly and we stopped at the level where we said you may need to jettison anything that can slow you down if you need to let go of excess luggage you may have to do so do you know that in first corinthians chapter 10 verse 23 first corinthians 10 verse 23 a bible may declare that certain good things may even have to go because they are not expedient there's a difference between what is expedient and what is good when you read acts chapter 27 you can read it from verse 18 all the way to 38. good story reading acts 27 18-38 when paul and cole were in a storm with their own hands they threw off the goods that were in the ship to lighten the sheep because what is important is now what is in the sheep it is do we make it to our goal in philippians 3 from verse 13 to 14 philippians 3 13 to 14 tells you something very important evil past glories must go he said one thing i do forgetting those things that are behind i press forward you've done great things congratulations god is saying hey you aren't home yet there's still more to do i'm sure i shared with some of us at least a long time ago in what the lord said in matthew chapter 5 from verse 29 to 30 matthew 5 29-30 when he said if your right hand is going to cause you to offend what is it that he said you should do to it cut it off what kind of advice is this it's coming from your best friend if your right eye is going to cause you to offend what is it that he said you should do block it out and i remember i shared it with those of you who are at least older now we share it again because of those of us who are younger that what the lord was saying could be liking to a vision a lot of people were walking to heaven and they were moving casually [Music] on their way then one man lifted up his eyes and saw that the gate was closing so he began to run and by the time he got to the gate he was able to squeeze in himself that he gets close on his hand and the angel like the guy said sir your hand is not allowing us to close the gate what do we do do i open the gate a little bit for you so you can go out or do we cut off your hand what will be your answer incidentally that reminds me of a very sobering story that i heard from the great man of god not too long ago that the devil held a meeting with his top demons and said which of you will go to the world and [Music] destroy the christians and one of them said i will go when you get there what will you tell them i will tell them to stop deceiving themselves there is no heaven the devil said no that's too late they already know there is seven the second one says i will go what are you going to tell them i will tell them there is no hell that god is too loving to send anybody to hell the devil said no that won't work the lord that they are following had told them about hell this is what i told them that they said they thought once i know what i will tell them that you send many of them to us at the end the devil said what will you tell them he said i will tell them there is no need to worry ah the devil said you will do it no need to hurt to worry there is heaven there is hell but don't worry take it easy ben relax is that not one of your problems no need to worry don't mind that is you this is the one who is always saying hey hurry up hurry up you haven't done enough he's never satisfied it doesn't matter what you do for him he will say next time we'll be more never in a hurry i mean so he's the only one who's always in a hurry it doesn't even know how to sit down relax don't mind him there's plenty of time he's there how many of us here can see with all assurance that he will see be alive by this time tomorrow not one hurry up brother holy help sister do what you can do for god now [Music] because we just don't know when the end will come now on the issue of association the fellow you associate with can determine whether you actually make it to the goal if there is someone who is a classical example of someone who redeemed time it is called the apostle and he's the one who said in the text i read to you the tortex i read to you first corinthians 11 verse 1 be ye followers of me as i am of christ follow my example this was a man who himself said i am a chief of sinners first timothy chapter 1 verse 15 first timothy chapter 1 verse 15. you know his story he said i'm not worthy to be called an apostle because i persecuted the church yet at the end of the day he finished well so he says associate with me and then together we'll be able to make it that's what he wanted that's what he was saying the fellow you associate with can determine whether or not you make it i will try and give you maybe one example or two and let the holy spirit help with the rest there is one man called god gad of the children of israel he associated with [Music] another son reuben reuben is the firstborn of the father in genesis chapter 49 from verse 1 to 4 genesis 49 from verse 1 to 4 reuben was cursed by his father because of something he did early on the father said he defiled his bed he slept with one of the concubines of his father so the father said yes you are the firstborn but you won't excel father pronounce that cause on him maybe when you read numbers chapter 2 from verse 10 to 15 numbers two from verse 10 to 15 you've discovered that wherever reuben calmed that's where god comes to birth of the same father flocked together you come with somebody who is already cursed what's likely to be the result i told you at least some of us years ago before you associate yourself with any leader check something because we are looking at the leader up there you are climbing the ladder and it sounds maybe you are step number two and it's on step number seven so you want to hook up with him because he's higher than you i said before you hook up with him find out is he climbing [Music] or coming down because if he's on step number four or step number seven and you are step number two if you watch you may discover that by the time you get to step number three it has come down to step number six by the time you get to four it's on five and if you had hooked to him you will get to a level when he will begin to drag you down with him the fellow you associate with will determine whether you two keep climbing [Music] or you keep calming down so by time we go to numbers chapter 32 number 32 you can read it from verse 1 to 32 another beautiful story number 32 from verse 1 to 32. the children of israel were to the promised land they got to jordan reuben and god went to moses sir we will stay on this side the rest of you can go on moses said what are you saying we are supposed to cross over and you want us to go and help the others we will follow and help them but leave us here so they stayed at the wrong side of jordan ruben said i want to stay here god said i will stay with you i pray for you today if you are connected to somebody who is already going down may the almighty god severe the link why did i choose god and reuben as an example for you in mark chapter five from verse 2 to 15 mark 5 from verse 3 to 15 you hear the story of a man called the mind man of gaddara the other is the name coming from god a single man with a legion of demons where god stayed became headquarters of demons the jews were not supposed to rear pigs but there were plenty of swine in the city of god i pray for you you we end well [Applause] who you associate with we determine whether you finish this race at all or you finish it well remember elijah and elisha elisha associated with elijah that's why he was able to get what he wanted elijah asked him what you want me to give you now i'm about to leave he said i want a double portion of your spirit elijah said you have asked for a hard thing what you are asking for is beyond my power to give however i will use my influence my association with god to commit him to commit god that if you see me when i'm going you get what you want after doing the story before god sent his own special chariot to go and bring elijah home as he was going elisha cried i see you i can see the horses of fire the chariots of clearly [Music] and so on the way elijah said to the one who came to pick him up i promise that boy that if he can see me he will get what he wants and then they say in that case why are you going with the man too drop it for him the mantle dropped [Music] elijah didn't leave it before he was taking it away but he had committed god i've committed my god that every one of my children will be greater than i [Music] in the case of david in four semester 22 fourth summer chapter 22 from verse one to two four summer 22 from verse one to two a bible said when david was in the cave of abdullah a lot of vagabonds useless people hopeless people gathered together with him and he became their captain because of the influence of david upon their lives these no-gooders became mighty men second summer chapter 23 from verse 8 to 39 seconds summer 23 from verse 8 to 39. people whose name would never have been mentioned in the bible are their names written clearly because they associated with david they were called the mighty men of david who you associate with we determine whether you end well or not now i know some of us are already big thank god for your business but if god is directing you in a particular direction to link up and i don't have time to go to that aspect of the lecture the time is related to destiny you know i told you is related to life related to opportunities etc etc in future maybe we'll come and discuss that one and destiny's cross take for example this will be very easy for those of you in nigeria to understand consider ivan niger and river benue river benry ran into river niger it is river niger that comes to the ocean but it carries benue with it did they say they didn't mention my name at the ocean they allowed niger to carry him all the way i just hope that the holy spirit will explain that one better than i can let me conclude with this one how lord holy spirit will have to teach them the rest you know there is an african proverb he says the dog that is going to be lost we not hear the horn of the hunter god associated a dog with a dog owner if the dog stays with the dog owner that dog will achieve his purpose and then one day the hunter girls are hunting with the dog and the dog sees some fat animal in the bush and began to pursue and the hunter fees that are the way you are going that fat animal may lead to your death because you have seen the fat animal a lion has seen the fat animal also two of you pursuing and the hunter says i'm not going that direction dog come back the dog says i'm not coming back it doesn't matter how hard the hunter may try the dog that will perish we see perish you say where is that in the bible i'll give you one example just one note should be enough hopefully you know the story of abraham and lord i mean you're all bible scholar so you know this story at least let's pick it up from genesis chapter 13 genesis 13 from verse 5 to 13. genesis starting from verse 5 to 13. when both abraham and lord were leaving home they were poor after some time they became rich and the bible said lord also prospered because when you associate with a blessed man you'll be blessed allow me once again to say god bless you [Applause] and then the bible says was a quarrel we saw them standing between the heads men of abraham and lord and abraham called lord i say we we are relatives we shouldn't quarrel the land is before you choose if you go left i will go right if you go right i will go left lord you have said to abraham you are the one who brought me those fires if there's going to be any true sin you should be the one choosing you should be the one who tells me okay you can have this portion the bible said oh is that so i can choose them fine it looks for the best place all the best and choose it for himself you know this stuff chose the side of sodom and gomorrah we have plenty there not long after that in genesis chapter 14 from verse 1 to 16 genesis 14 from verse 1 to 16 news came to abraham lord has been captured is my relation in spite of the foolish choice he made ibrahim gathered together his servants pursue these people all night and recovered a lot brought him back safe and sound what should lot have done if i were a lot i would say to abraham thank you uncle thank you for rescuing me this time around i'm not going anywhere [Applause] i will stay with you ochio sorry sorry i put in a bit of your mother lord went straight back to sodom and gomorrah because there was prosperity there they prospered became one of the elders of the city [Music] because his elders who sat by the gate the indians that came to destroy these cities came they met him by the gate he took them in they told him their mission the following day they said get out now he lingered the angels grabbed him by the hands and forced him out you know the story but how did the end he produce children through his own daughters genesis chapter 19 from verse 29 to 38 genesis 19 29 to 38 they produced two boys two boys that became two nations and you can read about these two boys these two nations the legacy of lord in second chronicles chapter 20 radio chapter second chronicles 20 from beginning to the end these two nations gang together against jehoshaphat let's go and swallow him up and god finally intervened and the entire heritage of lord perished in one day why because the the dog that will be lost no matter how many times he is given an opportunity for restoration we still be lost i'm saying this because i feel led in my spirit that god is going to give every one of us a second chance [Applause] we have blown it in many areas of our lives some of us have blown it big time but if we are linked to someone that god has chosen to be merciful one two we must still make it i believe that the reason god chose the team redeeming the time is so that we can regain lost ground we can regain lost opportunities we can have a fresh start but after that what's next i'll tell you one story and our clothes it's a story of someone i loved so there is sad story for me someone who was practically my right hand a man very few of you will know him so i won't mention names so it's not going to mean an embarrassment as such we were so close in those early days of bible study leaders when i have some young young people following me about as we prepare for major programs they were when we at the table it would sit on my right hand side my wife would sit on my left that's how close we were one day we were eating and that place which is now the four square gospel church you used to call be called youth camp only the old ones will know when i mean so we're at the table where eating and suddenly i heard god speak to me ask him if you'll be ready for higher responsibilities ah father what kind of question is that won't he feel that i'm doubting this loyalty i nearly choked on my food but god has spoken so i turned to him sir god wants me to ask you if you'll be ready for higher responsibilities i thought he would be upset with me and say sir what kind of question is that what have i you done what he said let me pray about it ah pray about it we took out a long story short it wasn't long after that that he left and for years there was a way it was it was close to my heart so after years his children came because i i named all the children they said they wanted to see me i saw them they have grown now hey my children you are welcome so i sat down with them we talked and they told me the condition their father was in the ministry where he went to tell him to come and see me he came my friend remember such a such a time he said yes sir i'm sorry i made a mistake okay what do we do now i say i will break all rules because there are rules in the same presentation of god concerning those who live i said i will break all rules and bring you back and we do everything that is necessary to make sure you return he said thank you for asking me to return but those who were very very junior to me when i left they're already high up now what will i return to it won't be fair for you not to put me above them the way i used to be i can't even be equal to them how many of you know that love is powerful i said every problem has a solution that's why i'm a mathematician i said we will solve your problem i said you know what i will do i will create a brand new department for you i will call it the department of evangelism we don't have it here and i'll put you at the head of that department you tell me which town you want for your headquarters by the habitat or if you want to stay in the camp here or lagos you will have your own offices you will have a thai peace you have a messenger you everything you want go and prepare manuscripts on evangelism one-on-one evangelism mass evangelism follow up this go because i know you are very good at that go and prepare we set up a department for you ah he was happy and i was happy and he went and he prepared the manuscript just like i said he should do so i said hey we will type this in get everything ready and then we'll set up then i didn't see my friend again ah so i sent for him what's happening the next thing is tell me where you are going to be based we are ready to go [Music] i don't think i will come back and god said leave him alone you are the one who prayed you and ask god that i should tell you what he wants you to hear that's why you are hearing this story i don't want to conclude this story i don't want to conclude it at all you can imagine because one of the big prayers that i want you to pray beginning from tonight is that lord i know in some areas i failed you lord i'm willing to pay any price to redeem time but lord i am begging you don't leave me alone you go and pray when you are satisfied drop your offering and go i see you tomorrow morning i know i've missed the way in several areas i've blown it in several areas willing to pay the price to redeem time please daddy don't leave me alone don't leave me alone see you tomorrow if the lord hasn't come by then [Music] twenty years ago pastor mrs falu adeboye wife of the general overseer of the redeemed christian church of god alongside other great women and men of god convened the first feast of esther conference which brings together great women of god across the globe to strengthen and empower them to do god's work since inception the feast of esther has enjoyed god's mercy and love 20 years of divinely orchestrated partnerships and commitment to developing ministry skills in women
