The Wise Man’s Ladder to the TOP (Power of Wisdom)

hallelujah amen take a seat god bless you thank you lord jesus so this is the wise man's ladder to the top please believe me believe me if you apply the principles i've taught here there is no way you will remain in the valley of the shadow of death you'll be at the mountaintop i've established in this series that you were created for an assignment and every assignment requires a library that your life's assignment requires the library of your mind the library of your mind so you acquire information that relates to your assignments so first you must discover your assignment my assignment is to discover develop and deploy leaders from the church to the world and we leaders from the world to the church in the pursuit of this assignment i have to develop myself how to get i have to learn more about leadership so when you come to my library most of the books there are related to leadership management strategy etc etc so i'm stalking my mind for for my assignment with information and then interpretation once you have the right sort of information you are then able to interpret things better have a clear understanding so knowledge leads to understanding without without knowledge information you cannot have understanding so the right interpretation of things based on the right information in your mind gives you understanding and understanding is two ways to put together under understand so understand understanding is that we give you a firm foundation in life now once you have understanding interpretation what it means is that anytime your eye sees a problem or your ear hears a problem your mind attempts to give an interpretation to that thing a solution to that thing that solution in your mind is what we call an idea so from interpretation you begin to develop solutions to problems these forms the foundations of wisdom and if you take your time and you read the book of problems you will see every single thing i'm teaching you in the book of proverbs what i teach you is called practical theology it's how to take the bible and use it to make everyday choices and everyday decisions whilst we are waiting for the rapture we don't have to be utterly useless we have to be utterly useful are you here do you understand what i'm teaching you now from there we go to the next set of of of things we must do it's called wisdom in action the next of things we must do so we move on to number four which is incubation so when you develop ideas when you get information and information helps you to understand things and the things you understand helps you to develop solutions not the solutions you develop which is called an idea you have to incubate it you have to make sure that it goes through a certain process you don't need to rush it last week we went through incubation people got pregnant and the babies went for nine months um we we looked at elephants they get pregnant almost two years before they give birth cow get pregnant almost for one year before they give birth and look at the bigger the idea the longer the incubation period you have to be very careful you don't rush your ideas and destroy it you have to be patient you have to develop an ideal ideas roadmap so that your ideas can manifest and function then we move on to innovation studying your environment and then finally we got to what we call invention where you are able to now convert your ideas into the world of reality so accra business school once existed in my mind as an idea today is an invention it's an invention it's an invention we don't create people who have ideas they can invent so an idea goes through innovation a careful study of your environment and then you you invent it you create it you create it you hold it you have it now when you are able to create i'm going to the power of wisdom when you are able to create you move to the next level i have changed a bit of oh please go back go back yes thank you thank you when you are able to create you move to the next level called influence earlier i wanted to speak about inspiration first before influence but my further study revealed that influence must come before inspiration now when you create when you create when you become a creator when you become an achiever when you achieve something god uses that thing that he has used you to achieve to move you to the corridors of influence the influence of mark zuckerberg is as a result of creating facebook are you here with me without the question of facebook it will be nothing today in british parliament in uh the u.s senate other places this guy is discussed in fact we can use facebook to determine who becomes the president of america or a nation so he's moved into that corridor of power and influence now i'm going to show you what you tell christians to be ambitious and to be to move to the corridors of power and influence it is strange for them because the way you were raised up yes you see you were raised christianity was presented to you i see your life is just going to church going home and preparing to go to heaven christians are afraid to walk on the corridors of power but we will move to influence and i'll show you how important it takes that god wants to use your achievements to propel you to the corridors of power and influence are you here and god needs you to achieve it god needs to achieve something so he can stand on that thing to give you a promotion have you ever worked with someone where you have the capacity to promote the person but the person is not performing you love the person you want to promote the person but a person who stopped meeting the performance target to be able to get promoted and so the person is still there i need you to look at this as we move on to study the power of wisdom that's our last session for this the la the wise man that's the top so now let's look at the power wisdom number one influence influence influence so let's go to the scripture now now look at psalm 75 second seven for promotion cometh meter from the east not from the west nor from the south but god is the judge he put it down one and set up another so promotion comes from god now it's important to realize that these principles i'm teaching you here even if an unbeliever uses it god will still promote that unbeliever so you will stay in the country and then you will see somebody who is a satanist somebody who is is uh an occultist take over your parliament take over your presidency and you are there and then you are praying and fasting against the impact of that person on your faith instead of spending time praying that god will raise you god will elevate christians to that position we do you know what we do we don't pray for christians christians are not ambitious even though promotion comes from the lord we we sit down and then we allow unbelievers to use the principles principles are principles if unbelievers use the principles god has set emotion god will have no option than to promote them are you here god has no option than to promote them whether you love donald trump or not he became an american president and he had a track record he's done a lot of things and people looked at that and voted for him but promotion comes from the lord and sometimes you know that when god is promoting an unbeliever a bad person god god is hate because you did not make yourself available to be promoted as an employer myself sometimes sometimes i feel that one staff deserves a certain position but a person may have a good heart but not a smart mind and you see a good heart alone is not enough for performance you need both you need good heart and a smart mind sometimes our problem that's our problem so sometimes and it is dangerous to have somebody with a smart mind and a bad heart the person will be mischievous so you need both you need to find the truth amen then you can be promoted so we have christians the fact that you're a good christian does not mean you'll be a good leader are you here they are very good pastors anointed but they are not very good leaders so their churches grow and collapse they grow and they collapse that they fight with their church leaders then they fight with the departmental leaders they do so they are good pastors but not good leaders are you here with me the fact that there is oil on your head does not mean that you are a leader so god wants to promote you and i want to show you so what is influence within the christian context we're going to look at influence within the christian context influence is divine promotion to the corridors of power divine promotion to the corridors of power divine promotion to the corridors of power what is the purpose for divine promotion because of power and i'm going to show you you see god works with people and with people and through people can see the next slide look at this the purpose of divine promotion is to push god's agenda in the corridors of power when government once upon a time decided to tax churches they were going to tax the tides and offerings they were not just they were not just thinking about taxing their businesses churches do we are going to talk so like here when you guys bring your titan offerings for god's work the government will take tax from it it took men and women of influence and i was in that meeting when they lifted up their voices in defense of the church and said no way no way you cannot touch the church but you can't touch the businesses we do without them without men of influence in this country that is lgbtq plus oh but like by now it's happening everywhere you see when jesus died none of the disciples of jesus could go and ask for the body of jesus because they were not prominent men it took somebody outside them who believed in the ministry of jesus joseph are messiah who was told who was described as a prominent man a man of influence who went to the authorities and demanded the body of jesus either that jesus jesus would have been added to other dead bodies i would have been buried in a mass barrier i'm telling you it took someone god has to leave the disciples never the fact that they sat and jesus prayed with jesus fasted with jesus did everything with jesus because they lacked influence influenced influence they couldn't go today we can't fight for the body of jesus many people cannot fight for the body only few people can that is why where at discotheque would be a church cannot be there because when the church goes there they say the church will be making noise meanwhile the people who are playing jams so god god is looking for men in the corridors of power and influence you have to be ambitious positively ambitious as a christian and you want to work your way to the top using the the principles i'm sharing here with you are you here there are other religions religions that will gather their people in secret meetings and tell them what they should do in order to promote their religions at the top level it is only christians that when we get to the top we forget where we start from where we started from we can see this next slide please do god put joseph in the corridors of power to push his agenda the reason why god put joseph in the palace of moses in the palace of pharaoh was because of his people because of his people and it was prophetic because of his people because of god's people it was part of god's redemptive agenda some of you you know what you would have done you would have criticized a christian for joining an unbeliever a pagan in a political party why are you pairing with this person but sometimes god has to put you there because an evil man wants to execute an evil plan god has to put you with the evil person so that you can stop it imagine if esther was still married to kenzan said imagine what would have happened imagine what would have happened i knew that some of you would have said oh this young girl has gone to marry this old man for money but it was for purpose i'm not saying that be a psychic please i'm not saying that don't marry your equal but i'm saying that for some people god can let that happen that's why you must be very careful you see for those of you who think that you hold the monopoly to the mind of god you have to be very careful that you know that you know that this one is wrong sometimes you just have to ask god father what are you doing are you here do you understand so god put daniel in the corners of power to push his agenda so god wants to put you in the corners of power and influence and don't be afraid to have an ambition to be the ceo of your company of where you work to be the headmaster or the headmistress of the school where you teach to to have an ambition to be an mp an ambition to be to be the president of your country you must have that ambition you must have that ambition but understand that that ambition begins with the acquisition of information that you appeal from there to interpretation from there to ideas and then from ideas to innovation then from innovation to you know ideas to incubation from incubation to innovation from innovation to invention and then you keep building from there you keep because you need a cv to qualify to be in the corners of power and influence david was asked you were a small boy how can you fight a giant he said once i was in with my father's ship the lions came i killed them the best game i killed them the same god that gave me the strength to kill the best and the lion that same god would give me the strength to kill this uncircumcised philistine when saul had this so said your age disqualifies you by your cv qualifies you in life eh add value to yourself everything that comes into your life whether it's a problem or anything whatever it is learn from it build from there build from there build from there build from there build from there you have the story of a man who was dumped into a valley but dumped into a hole by the whole village he said he's done something bad and so they cast him out into um um distance okay so they ordered all the villagers that every day going through your rubbish on him so the rubbish covers him and he dies so they kept throwing the capturing but anytime they threw on him he would just listen and stand on it to true he'll just get off his clean his body and stand on it by the time the village realized the man they wanted to bury with their rubbish has used the rubbish as a stepping stone to get out of their valley to get out of the hole sometimes what would bring you the breakthrough does not come in the form of a solution it comes in the form of a problem [Applause] are you here in the form of a problem david was going to give food to his brothers and then goliath was there insulting people he saw an opportunity most people did not see many people saw a giant he did not see a giant he saw something else what did he see he saw a man who he can use as a stepping stone to fail next slide please now here are the nineties of influence having established what influences and having established the purpose of influence now i want to show you how you can become influential how you can get to the corridors of power and influence and push god's agenda any christian who is afraid who is afraid to walk on the corridors of power and influence is already a canal christian any christian who sees godly ambition to become great as canality you are already a cannon christian do you know when you read the books of um a christian at some point solomon started writing the advantage upon vanity even his even said that wisdom was vanity he even said that oh this was vanity this was vanity that was after his heart had been turned away from god so everything became vanity of course if god puts you in the corridors of power and influence and you don't use it to push his agenda but rather you see to chase women get sidetracked including your wife and use it to promote bad things if money will let you fall if money will let you fall it becomes vanity but for some people the corners of power has become the platform to push god's agenda amen okay now so the nine piece the night piece of influence number one is position the level of influence the level of you see when when you invent when you solve problems when you create solutions it puts you in a position joseph is an example when joseph interpreted their dreams and proposed a solution that created a 14-year economic plan for egypt he was given a position he was given a position so i'm showing you how god promotes how god promotes god will not promote you without a cv without an achievement tv is a record of your achievement years ago i asked the church right now there's a job paying thousand dollars do you have a cv that shows that your value is thousand dollars or ten thousand dollars now now genesis 41 verses 4 and 41 from the navy you shall be in charge of my palace and all my people who are who are to submit to you to your others only with respect to the throne i'll be glad than you so pharaoh said to joseph i hereby put you in charge of the whole land of egypt i hereby put you in charge of the whole land of egypt he gave me a position even though he was a foreigner even though he was a foreigner but the solution he provided as a result of all the things i have to talking to you about information interpretation and all those things now this man was put in charge he came to that country as a slave now he was the vice president he was a vice president how god has been so disappointed in some of us god is waiting that i want to put you in a sitting position and yet look at you the whole day you are on facebook for nothing for jokes you know all the linguine jokes the wind jokes all the jackal jokes all basketball jokes everybody's jokes you know but not my same one you know what was the last time you spent a whole dressing day saying that okay that is so much i want to today i'm off and i want to play that these sermons to build my faith and to when was the last time you did that whenever i take your phone now it will show me how many hours you spent in a week which one was productive and which one was unnecessary if you have been watching my sermons on facebook you see that your productivity will go up i hear with me so god wants to bring you to this god wants to give you without a position you will have no influence so so influence begins with a position god gives you a certain position but that position you must earn it you must earn it you can't pray yourself in that position you work yourself in that position and once you are working you pray that god do not let my neighbor become invaded you cannot ask god for food when you have not planted a seed the seed might be planted now you pray that god pour water on it let the rain come and bring there is one man planted under my water god brings the increase god cannot bring an increase a woman that's not what plants another man that's not water increase camps because you have worked promotion comes because you have worked you think if joseph has celebrated potiphar's wife he will be in this position no would not have been here he was responsible and that responsibility brought him here next first number two verse eight he raises the poor from the dust and leave the needy from the ash heap he sees them with the princess and has them inherit the son of anna so god can lift anybody anybody he raises the poor from the dust that is god's business he can raise the poor from the dust and i always share my testimony for you you will raise the poor from the dust but promotion comes from the lord and promotion has his own principles so if you are poor and you want god to raise you follow these principles i'm sharing with you you will be there you know you cannot pray that god make me a lawyer and you become a lawyer you have to go through law school can god just decide that god make me a doctor and then you become a doctor you have to go through medical have let's go to medical school okay next power power the authority to influence look at what he did for joseph genesis 40 1 42 and 44 then pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on juicy's finger and he dressed him in his ropes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck then 44 then pharaoh said to joseph i am pharaoh but without your word no one will let hand of food in the whole of egypt if he doesn't speak nobody can act if he says everybody is sleeping at 10 p.m everybody will sleep everybody's waking up at 4am everybody will wake up a worry now a foreigner now listen he was giving an authority he was giving power for a certain assignment you know some of us when god gives us the privileges and we have a position and we get power we abuse it in this case pharaoh knew pharaoh said i have given you positional but that one is mine that's one is mine so he reset and says it was from the throne that he gave him the power always remember that whatever position you you have was given to you by someone and god you it was and the uh this the ultimate source of your of your position is god god promotion comes from him it may be a human being who may sign your letter of promotion but don't forget that promotion does not come from the person who signed it god used the person to promote you god used pharaoh to put joseph in the position of power and god now use him to give him the position of the business position now give him give him power power to exercise are you here god needs powerful people whose word would carry something men that when we speak when we speak unbelievers will listen to us god is those men your whole life cannot be based on yes at one point somebody must call you say oh madam the purpose of life is growth if you don't grow why are you living if you give birth to a child the child doesn't grow why are you living it is even so frustrating if the person is growing big but not growing up oh yeah if you have a child a certain age and you expect a person to be here saying the person's not behaving it's very very frustrating because god don't expect you to groping he expects you to grow up are you here let's move the next one so so all right let's go let's go let's go let's leave this scripture okay then the next thing is that the place the place is the extent of your influence the extent of your influence a good father was once an mp and there's 10 of his influence was only in um isn't it achieved area at the time was the mp that was his place of influence and they became a foreign minister when his place of influence was only in the foreign ministry they became an attorney general letter his place of influence was only in the four um um attorney general's office now he's the president his place of influence who cuts across the whole of ghana the length and breadth of this nation he became echoed chairman so his place of influence now went across west africa if he becomes an au chairman does he like to go across the whole of africa you get what i'm talking about so but you see they extend the strength of your of of your creativity information will determine the stats that where you can influence so look at jesus genesis 41 verse 14 so pharaoh said to joseph i hereby put you in charge of the whole land of egypt the whole land of egypt may god extend your place of influence and give you more places to influence when you become a very powerful man strong man powerful from every aspect and may you use that power to push god's agenda in jesus name i want to see powerful women from here i want to see powerful men from here men of influence and women of influence when you speak it will make news it will be at the front pages of the newspapers from around the world are you here do you understand what i'm teaching you and that is why christ lives in the inside of you christ didn't come to leave the king of kings the creator of the universe it's not leaving you for you to become some small guy in some corner now number three number four process the path to influence the path to influence now all the things i've taught you information interpretation etc etc are all part of the process to get to where you become influential what would be the period god also wants to make you influential there is an inbuilt process that you go through therma 1 verma 18 1 to 6 this is the word that came to me to to jeremiah from the lord go down to the protest house and then i will give you a message so i went down to the potter's house and i saw him working at the wheel but the party was shipping from the clay was mad in his hands so the potter formed it into another port shaping it at it seemed best to him let's try please then the word of lord came to me he said can i not do with you israel as this water does decrease the lord like a clay in the hands of the potter so are you in my hand israel i think one day we should we should do a conference call like a clay in the hands of the porter like a clay in the hangs of reporter lchp that's a that's the name of the conference lchp like a clay in the hands of the potter let's see you see what god is saying here is that when he wants to bring you that place of influence he will break you he will mad you he will crush you he will put you on this thing and usually these things say it is not god will not come physically to do it but he will use people he will use people he will use people to cost you pain he will use people to frustrate you he will use people to do well it wasn't just his brothers who sold him but they didn't know that selling him was part of the process to become influenced it became influential they didn't know that they had to be sold they have to sell him in order for him to become influential he could not become a great man where people who bow to him living with his brothers and and father and mother there was no kingdom there there was no position of power there there were only a few group of people so god had to take him away to a place he went to prison because the person who recommend him for the position was in prison listen the circumstances of your life may have a divine reason so don't ignore it whatever happens to you as a christian they do not happen to you by chance they happen to you for a purpose and you must take me to understand why are these things happening to me am i preaching am i talking to someone here joseph was betrayed and sold and imprisoned david went through the process or it was right when the oil hit his head that saw started chasing him my preaching even jesus had to go through the process to be able to be at the right hand side of god and it is this place that many people fail when you wake up and you have no money in your pocket don't think that satan is fighting your finances think god may be taking you through this process when mommy and i were going to our financial crisis we saw it at the trial of our faith we didn't give satan the credit we saw it at the trial of our faith because we believed that we were titus we were so west and therefore god will rebuild the devourer for our sins and because god will rebuild the devourer fasting the devourer cannot touch our finances so whatever we're going through was god taking us through the process so that we can become influential are you here with me it is only when you are a faithful giver a title that you yourself you know that your sins have opened the doors for satan to attack him but anybody who knows he's dealing with god well when he's attacked the first thing that comes to his mind is that this is a trial of my faith okay let's now number five the five free p of influence is prize matthew 13 45 and 46 matthew 13 45 and 46 again the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls who when he had found one one pearl of great valley of great price went and sold all he had and bought it went and sold all he had and bought it please please listen success has a price tag influence has a price tag you must know what you must lose to get what you are looking for you can't eat your cake and have it yeah right that's the right way to say it you can't eat your cake and have it let me even bring it to our local um let's say can you finish eating your food and still have it in the bone if you eat it you have eaten it it's gone you know sometimes you eat your food and you think you have the last muscle and then you go back to the bowl and it's not there and you feel ah i thought i had the last muscle please you ate it was somebody eating with me for me last meet somebody has taken my last meat please use your stomach it's it's gone there so you must know it comes with with with a price you must always lose something to get somewhere abraham lost his comfort zone god just leave everybody you have known since your infancy you are 75. i am taking you far away where god says me myself i'm not sure i'm not sure where we are going but i'm taking you to a land i'm taking you somewhere hey and abraham had to just follow they can never be influenced without a payment of a price influence is costly it will take something you will lose something look at look at this one look at this one a man found a pair and because he knew that this was what he was looking for he went to sell everything he had to sell everything he had and bought it you know that what you want to do is to do a certain trade and you have gotten the opportunity and you demand a certain money and the money is your your car your car will set when you sell your car you can pay for that thing and we have reserved but you are thinking about you coming to church and working with your family your friends will make more crew of you so you will let that opportunity go you don't know what you're looking for in life you remember when i had to move away from my eight bedroom house to go and rent three bedroom house opposite where we went to rent was an uncompleted building and the children get up in the morning and there is a number of chamber pots and all the children lined up as if they have been told that face this man's house and ease yourself however somebody made a mockery of us that you are you have left your eight bedroom house to do business and you have come to live at where the the people opposite you but i knew what i was looking for did they look at as a result of that what we have been able to achieve we have responded we have grown we have built and we have built more you must know what you must lose to get what you are looking for jesus has some friendship you must lose them for god to give you what you are looking for if lord have not left the life of abraham abraham will not have received what god wanted him immediately not left god said to abraham lift up your eyes the land which you see i will give you sometimes you must sacrifice your sleep it's too much sleep in your system that might be the price you must pay sometimes working from 6 7 a.m to 7 p.m might be the price that's how mummy and i used to work when we started the africa center for leadership by human resource development that's how we used to work everything there was no facebook and things it wasn't popular like that so everything we had to do it had to be conquered has to be by research he has to be by oh it was a very difficult thing for us we dropped the children very early by seven a.m when the office were devoting with the staff by eight workers started working working working working in the afternoon we rush pick the children drop them at home come back to the office we work work work work work seven pm we work 12 hours a day for five years two hours a day for five years but if you think you can hide in some corner and pray that the lord i'm going to ask daddy for ten thousand goddesses touch his heart touch his heart to give it to me touch his heart to give it to me the lord will say the ten thousand gunners in his account didn't come as a result of touching somebody's house he came as a result of consistent paying the price for his vision and for his dream what you are not ready to die for you are not ready to live for it so you will never get it six prize the reward of influence the reward of influence this is where you get to a place where you start rejoicing you just you start benefiting from all the prices you are paid to get to where you have gotten into but please you have to understand what i'm teaching you now now look the reward of influence genesis 41 41-43 so so pharaoh said to jerusalem i hereby put you in charge of the whole land of egypt then pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on jose's finger now do you know if i take this my bishop ring my vicious drink and put it on pastor abraham's finger i said i said abraham i'm sending you to mr kutia go and pray for him and lay his hands on him abraham standing there will be standing there as a bishop in that instant well in the bible days your reign has your signature so the issue so your your ring you dip it in the ink and use it to stamp it was your stamp so to give him his ring meant that i've given you my signature and i've given you a blank check sign as you want where you want how you want it it was a serious thing and god can bring you there god can reward you like that then pharaoh is okay so so verse 43 verse 4 he had him ride in a child as a second in command and the people shouted before him make way that's he put him in charge of the whole land of egypt the guy in prison now when he's going out mutu was a deputy governor of bank of ghana which motorcade would take him but now he's the vice president of ghana when he's coming everybody must park somewhere and give him a way to come but please he's a vice president on marriage not by chance a guy has tended the guy when he speaks you know he carries weight whether you like him or not whether he belongs to his political party or not you can not eat you cannot ignore the fact that he's an intelligence man you cannot ignore the fact that he's brought something to a cuff of those government are you here with me do you understand what i'm talking about now reward comes and i'll go and see where he lives the amount of money he gets the connections everywhere he settled for life a good father from his childhood has fought for the position of the presidency he never let that dream go away from him he did it he didn't when he lost the first one against muhammad and he said we are retired him and the man is back in his old age he's back from his childhood when we knew him that where his law firm was he had the ambition to become the president he had it dreams never die only people die so when you die then you die with your dream oh sally are you here with me do you understand what i'm teaching you you understand i'm teaching you now he's rewarded for all those years of kumi prakom movement for change and all those years is not as a reward that's a reward are you here okay number seven the perils the parents of influence the dangers of influence the main danger of influence is pride when god brings you that position of influence and you forget god it will take you from there sometimes god will give you a small influence small position of influence that he will look at your attitude and see whether you are faithful in little things and be it can be you serving in a small department that you will wait to see not only in church but even in your office can give you a kiosk and see how you use the influence he has given you in the chaos and then he will give you a stall and see how you will use the influence in the store and then he will give you a more that you can tell people how you started from the chaos and how you were faithful your tithing and other things and god gave you a stall and now you were faithful to everything and god gave you a more all my friends they had at bishop john press visiting me and then they said hey you have anointing for building because any time you leave me for an and for six months one year i've done something different i hear that we are like this don't be so comfortable don't think that this tent is nice people come that is nice so it's nice so what is my spirit what is my spirit when it comes out when it comes out you see that this one was bola because it's got what i what i see at where this tent is is a serious thing i know everything i tell you it comes to pass because you see these people i'm teaching you i followed them my life is built on principles my life is built on principles now look look at this progress 16 verse 18 pride goes before distraction a hot spirit before the fall if anybody is going to be destroyed if anybody is going to be destroyed it comes practically see this will you begin to realize that you are thinking of yourself more highly than you ought to were in trouble you are in trouble sometimes i forget i forget i'm a bishop but the only thing i remember all the time in my mind is i'm a christian any other title any other thing i don't care about it one man from our church came to accra business school became one weekend and saw me sit under the cabana and chatting with the students that were just talking so the following month he came he saw me again they came and said i won't touch you so how do you keep your respect with this openness see in his mind the only way bishops are respected is when you close yourself and people cannot have access to you and people and before they come they must feel some forms and other things of course i believe in those things i mean for you not to come and waste your time when you are coming to my office let me know you are coming it is only proper but i can prepare for your coming so that if i know that this testing i'm expecting 10 people you don't just badge you as a living person you wait till i cannot come because all the 10 people have their time and you some of them the problem they will bring you got to take about an hour or two to be able to uproot the demon oh yeah you give some people 30 minutes when you start talking you know that wow when i caught you a chance please go and tell those days that i begged them you had to stay longer but this story even the introduction needs one hour to finish before the main story will start coming are you here are you getting blessed are you getting blessed so please don't let pride get on your way there are different ways in which pride can come in when you come to that place where you think you are indispensable but indispensable price will come in are you here with me when you think begin to think of yourself more highly than you ought to all of us we are only at breath we are only at breath everyone was lying there in the hospital and they had oxygen on me at one point i just wanted to use the washroom and the washroom is just like three steps or five steps from my bed today after you take the oxygen mask and those i just took three steps and my breath was seizing i had to call this young nurses to come and hold me please put this thing back on me you know for two days do you know how i used to be i said god said that but nothing two days two days this next guy will bring me a pen and your bishop i remove everything in his presence i'm telling you at one point they said oh do you bring me a wheelchair with chamber potting and i say no no no that one there is it's not humility it's humiliation that one i will manage it but it was there i realized that i am only a breath away when god takes your breath away you are finished you are gone you are gone so i'm always ever ready for the rapture i'm always ever ready all the time everything i do any i deal with people and everything i do it could be today it could be today your rapture could be today listen don't wait for the trumpet to sound the day you die is your rapture you're either going to hell or heaven it's done so humble yourself just be so humble let's go to the next one to the next one eight the personality the personality of influence the god kind of person of influence the god kind of person of influence so who would god trust would influence who would god trust with reference first somewhere 16 18 and 19 the story of a shepherd boy that god trusted with influence that god trusted with the whole nation but what did god see in that small boy what did god identify in that boy to give him that position first time was 16 18 and 19. one of the sevens answered i've seen the son of jesus oppresses them who knows how to play that layer he's a brave man and a warrior he speaks well and he's a fine looking man and the lord is with him then saul sent messages to jesse and said send me your son david who is with you who is with the sheep can i show you something quickly please let's move listen i have seen the son of jesse a person under authority had a father over him person under authority do you know why joseph couldn't rebel against soul and david couldn't rebel against saul what if his soul was asleep and he could have killed him because he had been under authority before the reason why i respect fathers my father cannot raise you for you to disrespect fathers me i cannot be offended by a father because there was no way my father could have offended me that my father would do something and then the next day i see my father found my face then tried to pass away that is that is the end of my life i saw my father cleaning my sisters when they were even mature and you couldn't run when my father lives a king and you run you have insulted him or you hold the cane you are fought with him oh when my father lives a king and you hold the cane he said you afford me you have me so so you see when you grow up like that when you grow up and you you see and my mother taught us that everybody who is older than you is a father or is a parent or is a parent so it is very easy for me to honor those god has placed over me david despite the fact that if on several occasions saul had tried to pin him to the wall david was so loyal and faithful he was so loyal and faithful but he was part of the process he was so loyal and faithful when he got the chance at that surround him say kill him kill him kill him you see sometimes people let you feel that you are a fool people have told me that before charlie you follow these people you are saving like that when when you need them they won't be there for you i've heard those things several times but i'm a david i was raised by jesse i don't know who raised you and then who knows how to play delhi he was he was skillful he was careful god god saw something in his hands that he can use to promote him he was a brave man courageous and a warrior a fighter fighting for his dreams fighting for his aspirations he doesn't just give up because he met some resistance because god knew was going to go through a process was not his skill god used to get him into the palace without that skill god knows god could not have gotten into the palace god is banned by his word he said a man's gate will make room for him so without a gift there is no room for you and god cannot ignore his word he speaks well with character good character he speaks well because you are your word out of the abundance of the heart the man speaking and the man's heart reflects him speaks well you cannot say you cannot get angry and say harsh words to me and come back and say oh i'm sorry wait i'll forgive you but i'll not forget that your heart has really exposed your words have exposed your heart and your heart reflects you and it's not easy to change the heart so he speaks well he's a fine looking man good appearance good appearance i was interviewing some ladies for a position at the top center one did he walk to my office when he left i called charles can you come and spray here uh amphith was like oh it wasn't it wasn't nicely scented so that's kind of i said before the next person i i said please she has not the job she's not the job she's good at parents and the law was with him he had the presence of god over his life please you can't take these things from david the money look at these seven things if you forget everything i've taught you tonight these seven things these seven things keep them walk with them make sure make sure that you are always under authority i intentionally submit myself to authority you see because of my achievements there are people who wants me to be their friends but i call them fathers i said no i don't want to be your friend i want to be a son i don't want to be i deliberately will put myself under authority i deliberately will sit down and say the next skill i need the next skill i need for the next door to open for me is this kill and now go for it i'll go for it a man's gate will make room for him then i know that fear can can prevent me can me so i'm a man of courage i'm a man of courage to walk in here buy houses break them down and understand that it takes courage to do it it is courage to do it for me i want me to resign from every work we are doing to come to spencer's room into courage sometimes he god told moses go to joshua be strong and be courageous despite the fact that he told moses to anoint him and get him ready to take over he still god so told him be strong and be courageous but god knew that where you are going if you are not strong and you're not courageous your anointing will not matter fear will let you know look at that you know oil can sleep you know you can have an oil and then yeah yeah you will see what that oh you're not that i'm gonna die tell you you're the english person help me all your all your dad kind of say you solidify solidify too strong because fear will let the oil vanish the man fought lions and fought belle that last time that bishop was the time now it's eight o'clock okay the last time that bishop said you see some people had problems and they gave the pastor so and they came to tell me to go and talk to him i went and said these people said this and this these people are fighting tilapia and they are crying they are crying i said i have four sharks and i'm still alive did they go and pray with them this is tilapia problem bring the sharks one to me you want to be a fighter fight for what you believe in don't just give up fight for what you believe in you came here sometimes you come to church and only two people have come to sit down after going to spend our days on our career mountains fasting and praying i'll get down on saturday called mummy i'm coming with some powerful existing brother from quran study come and reach i cry in the evening sunday morning i in the middle of the night i'll be up praying praying ladies nbc was sorry today something will happen in church i'll just arrive at the church two people two people locally manufactured amplified praise the lord and they say will come hallelujah they amplify itself but i thought should i leave it and go what i fought for what i believe good character speak well speak well good character good character would characterize everything three a's that are attempts that are determined your appeal your achievement your attitude and your appearance attitude is crucial and then a fine looking man your appearance the lord is with him the presence of god the lord told me when i was coming here he said no man will be able to stand up against you as i was with moses i'll be with you i have fought battles on this land i've fought back tails bachelors people have walked to my house who give me warning of what i can do and what i cannot do and i've gone beyond the expectations oh then if you have anything me and me just now somebody look at that dog came to sit down we want you to know that you can't bring the church to that community people have tried and they have failed you cannot come i say thank you sir thank you bye-bye and i tend to the lord say lord will a man threaten your servant will a man threaten your servant will a man threaten your servant prove to him that there is a god that i'm serving the living god i succeeded no man will be able to stand up against you when the presence of god is with you okay that's now the conclusion the prayer the spirituality of influence if you want to continue to influence prayer is the key james chapter 5 verses 17 and 18. elijah was a human being even as we are he prayed endlessly and it will not that it will not rain and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years again he prayed and the heavens gave rain they had produced its cross what kind of influence is this powerful influence you can determine weather conditions by prayer there have been times where the ghana metro the theological um apartment have made projections that is going to ring on sunday mornings pastors will be up in the middle of the night or study and stop the rain and it was old they said it didn't come to pass we stopped it go on okay so inspiration so let me now move this fast and then we can live here inspiration inspiration so the next level so from from from influence you now move into inspiration now you know you don't talk your story inspires people coming from my story stories inspires people so let me show you for the christian how you can become how you can become is inspirational how people can hear your story and and wants to do something haven't you ever sat down to look at one of the one of the most inspirational pictures i've seen was the tiana in tiananmen square is in china the guy who stood in front of the of the tankers when people were being killed and the tank i was coming stood before recently i think in in burma also it's a nurse who came to stand before between soldiers and people they were shooting he said nobody must die today sometimes the people's story and action inspires you and you want to do something more listen some people have become inspiration you just you just read your story and you want to get up to do something more i share my testimonies and people want to just get up and do something more so i say inspiration is the story that exhausts christ jesus is the story that evangelizes the laws and the story that edifies the saved for the christian whatever god does for you whatever god that's for some of you that you can't share your testimonies god can never move you to the next level of your of your success because your story your story your story might exalt christ jesus you must be able to stand here to tell people where you were who you were and where god has brought you to you must exhort him and successful very successful man but he's not ashamed to come and stand before the church and say that when i came to ghana i came with one and i had to borrow money for a taxi from where i was standing where i was going it doesn't take anything away you see when you answer your future you are not afraid to talk about your past i'm not afraid to tell people where i've come from never been afraid never been afraid because i have done so well that what i have done today answers my past a story must inspire people christ jesus people must see jesus in your story i've seen a lot of pastors who talk as if they are god stand here with this corona don't worry your mind nothing will happen if i be a man of god if i be a man of god you begin to put your trust in those pastors the reason why you have not moved on in your christian life is because you are not looking unto jesus you are looking onto your pastor evangelizes the lost when you tell your story somebody who doesn't do jesus must give his life to jesus the reason why full gospel businessmen have become successful is that they don't preach share testimony did you say testimonies and then your story has to edify the same so that you tell people as somebody whose faith is weak the person's faith will yes you can always be talking about we know we are suffering we will get there please please you are not where you wanted to be but you are also not where you used to be so talk about where you have come from don't talk about where you have come from give somebody hope you see you don't consult people by sympathizing with them you don't encourage people by sympathizing with them you see sympathy sympathy reduces you to a nobody you're not looking for people's sympathy you're not looking for people's sympathy what you are looking for is encouraging words encouraging words that can encourage you i'm not here to sympathize with you i'm here to tell you that god can make you a person of influence i'm here to tell you that wisdom can take you very far i'm here to tell you that you have to be hungry for success you have to be hungry for breakthrough you have to be hungry to be an influential person and take this go back and take the samples and make your notes then finally you become immortal so what do i thought what do i mean by immortality how can a human being become immortal what it means is that you may die or your story will not die increment is dead and gone but his achievement is not dead i mean tibia and nana talk talk my 12 and 11 year old children talk about kuruma he talked about i i didn't see increment ruling but i talked about encoma you traveled outside the country to a gun he was a calming guru man coming groomer koamin kumar he's immortal you see listen proverbs 13 verse 22 a good man delivered inheritance to his children's children do you know let me tell you something you must be generational in your thinking to become immortal quan kumai was transgenerational like just two days ago or yesterday yesterday i was talking to um honorable ipo 2 and was making some statements about climate change choose one i want to die and go and you tell your grandchildren and great-grandchildren there used to be a pastor who used to pastor me he made one statement that changed my life you get it i want to die and go with people this church will be everywhere look at my kion my kion church of pentacles machine is immortal nobody can talk about the church of pentacles without talking about pacquiao he's immortal he's dead and gone but we can still talk about him president gupford when god calls you home you'll be immortal because these men have devoted their lives rollins is gone but you'll be immortal you cannot just live for yourself and live for yourself and be selfish you me and my children only only us only us god came to abraham and god started talking about transgenerational he say i will give to you and your offspring and your options after you god didn't speak about about abraham alone i spoke about trump's generation when the trump generation is
