Messiah, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the blessed Virgin Mary. He
0:06
was crucified, died, and was buried. He resurrected on the third day, having
0:11
paid in full all my depth of sin, granting unto me by faith in him, a
0:16
godly inheritance. Having been washed by his blood, he chose me to receive his
0:21
Holy Spirit, who is the fullness of the power of God, a true friend, guide, and
0:26
comforter of my soul. I by reason of this having been made a joint he with Christ Jesus I am called to worship and
0:34
serve in Favor Chapel International as my reasonable service and sacrifice of love to God the father son and the holy
0:42
spirit. I believe in the word of God which became flesh and lived among us.
0:47
The word is God and his word prescribed for my work of faith on earth. His word is sufficient for me. It is God who
0:54
works in me both to will and to do of his good pleasure, making me a testimony to my generations. I am blessed and
1:02
highly favored. God's word is my shield and power over my enemies. I love my church, Favor Chapel International.
1:10
Amen. Without wasting much time with a clap offering, shall we please
1:16

1:22

1:48
elevation on every side in Jesus' name. Amen. Please be seated.
1:55
Hallelujah. Church, um, I want us to, uh, believe God for
2:04
good things in our lives, for he has great plans for our lives as individuals.
2:10
Amen. I'd like to share a word of God um, that God gave me that I want to
2:15
share with you. Getting life right. Tell somebody, getting life right.
2:22
get life right. Um what do I mean by getting life right? Many at times people
2:30
miss the very purpose of their life on the face of this earth. Many people will
2:37
end up in life having chased all other things but their
2:42
goals. Having done all other things but yet not live the life God wanted them to
2:48
live. Many people stray off their purpose, mission and and cause
3:05
in said broad is the way to hell and many that find it but narrow.
3:14
Tell somebody narrow and small. Tell narrow and
3:20
straight is the way of life and there are few tell there are
3:27
few who find it. Tell that person there are few. So the Bible tells us that um being
3:36
part of the crowd isn't safety. Uh it is not safety but being
3:43
part with God is safety. So the Bible says one with God is greater than a
3:49
crowd. Hallelujah or mightier than tens of thousands. And so many times as as as
3:56
Christians and believers, we quickly stray away from the plan and purpose of
4:02
God for our lives. More often than not, we fail at
4:08
achieving that which God wants us to achieve in life without even knowing it
4:13
and without understanding that to have lived a life that is wasted is painful.
4:19
In the book of Luke the 12 15 the Bible says take heed and beware of greed. Just
4:26
about the greed or covetousness where you are never satisfied where everything
4:32
you believe you are the only person entitled to for a man's life consists not in the abundance of
4:40
the things he possesses. Hallelujah. This is Jesus speaking.
4:46
Jesus said be very careful as a believer over
4:52
greed for a man's life does not consist when you say a man
4:58
has lived life or a man has been given life it is not made up of what we bought
5:05
what we owed what we had what we built in this life Jesus is saying that I
5:11
didn't say that our savior is saying that the life I have given you to live on this earth. His main purpose isn't
5:19
the wealth accumulation. It's not the
5:25
the professorship you attain, academic heights. It's not the medical heights.
5:30
It's not it's not the glory, the things of this life that you attain that makes
5:36
you having lived a life. So then what is
5:41
life? Primarily life consists of time. Tell us about the time. This time talks
5:47
about the duration of one's existence. If you are born and you die at 50,
5:53
you've lived a life of a golden age, 50 years on the face of this earth. If you
5:59
are born and you die before your time, you have not fulfilled your days. So the
6:04
Bible says after Jacob had fulfilled his days, that means God has specific timing
6:10
for every human being on the face of this earth to live. And that life of
6:17
time, that time that they live, God will define it as their life. Life is also opportunity. What it
6:26
means is the chances given you within this life you are living. I am not referring to the chances of wealth
6:32
alone. Some people think the chances to be promoted, the chances to be awarded a contract, the chances to be connected to
6:39
important people is what I'm talking about. It is not limited to that. Even the chance for people to offend you and
6:46
for you to show the life of Christ in you through forgiveness and kindness to others is opportunity. Hallelujah. So
6:54
opportunity is not limited to things that lift you and things that make you great. But opportunities lifted is
7:00
limited to every good work you can do on the face of this earth. Every good work.
7:07
Tell somebody every good work. So life consists of the time we spend and the
7:15
volume of good works we have done on the face of this earth. Ecclesiastes 9:11
7:22
put this in the right perspective. said, "I have come to find out that under this sun, if there is anything within this
7:29
earth, if there's anything within this life, that the race is not to the
7:37
swift. that the battle is not for the strong, neither bread to the wise, nor
7:43
riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of
7:48
skill, but time and
7:54
opportunity, time and chance, happiness to everybody. So what was the great wise
8:02
man who ever lived meant by what he was saying? He said that so long as you are
8:09
on this earth, God offers all of us equality, equality in time, we are all
8:17
stipulated to spend our time here before we go. Then we are all given
8:23
opportunity either to show forth the good works of God or to acquire the things we want to
8:30
acquire in this life. But the acquisition, the ability, the
8:36
potentials, the the ability to do more than others is not because of our might.
8:43
It's because God has given timings to these things and opportunity for every
8:50
man to obtain these things. Give a clap offering unto Jesus. Oh, it's a good place to give a
8:56
clap offering. So Solomon said, "Now, now this is a man who was so rich and so
9:02
wise that no man on the face of this earth could compare." And you know, um, digging
9:10
people joke about it. Solomon had 3,000 wives. You were a Christian and you have only one. Why don't you also go and get
9:15
your 3,000? The man didn't just have 3,000 wives. He had an extra 300 girlfriends
9:22
outside them. Now there are so many school of revelation around this but he was wise
9:29
and did everything for a purpose. That's did everything for a purpose. And I I believe that sometimes
9:36
wisdom looks for job to do. Hallelujah. If you are wise, if you
9:42
are strong, you don't take up small jobs. You take up jobs that match your
9:48
your might. H is that it? You take up jobs that might match your qualification. And so imagine doctor is
9:55
a medical doctor and then she comes and say I'm looking for a job as
10:00
um as a what would be best for her as a kindergarten teacher. I'm sure she will
10:07
quit in one week because she has no idea the kind of patience auntie Lydia has. I follow her
10:14
a lot how she will play with her children in her classroom as if only be as if she has got no problem. She has
10:20
big problems but she has the strength to handle the greatest challenge of a
10:27
child. The other day I asked uh uh Kaiser to take care of my baby and
10:34
Kaiser said oh coco work daddy I let her sleep right now. When we came Kaiser was sleeping the baby was playing.
10:39
Hallelujah. So children have tenacity you have no idea about. So if you think it's your
10:45
muscle and your strength and your wisdom that can beat all things, that's not how life works.
10:51
Amen. So Solomon probably may have married all these women because of the volume of his wisdom that needed to be
10:57
displayed or he married all of them to establish peace and no wars because his
11:02
father was a fighter. His father had many enemies and had fought all the nations around him. So instead of him
11:09
continuing the battle of subjection, he united the nations by marrying their
11:16
princesses. And some also brought themselves free to marry him and even pay his dowry because they wanted his
11:22
kind of human beings on the face of this earth. Do you know what's so funny?
11:27
Though Solomon was wise, none of his children was compared ever to him because the ability God gave Solomon
11:35
could not be passed down through his groins. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? What Solomon carried was
11:43
oil and may be very anointed. My children cannot take my anointing until they have served me until God has
11:49
qualified them to take that battle. Are you understanding what I'm trying to say? What God gave Solomon wasn't something
11:55
of his acquired scale. It was something that was happening from heaven. And so for him to be uniquely powerful as he
12:04
was than all the kings before him and richer than all the kings before him and every man who has ever lived up to
12:11
today. what God gave him. None of his children, the 1,000 wives that came,
12:17
those that had children with Solomon, none of his children carried wisdom and ability like Solomon did. None of them
12:24
carried the finest ability of strategy in every way as he
12:30
did because it was God that offered it on the face. It's God that gave him opportunity. He appeared before the man
12:37
and said, "What do you want?" He said, "I want to be wise like my father." The way my father was able to rule such a
12:43
difficult people the guy just came into power one week they
12:48
realized so you are the people my father has been governing for over 42
12:54
years then the man went before God gave offering he wants to meet this god said no no no no this doesn't require common
13:00
sense to rule these people they are they are a stiff necked people they are difficult generation so he asked God I
13:06
want wisdom God said what do you want he said I want wisdom to govern these people because the level of troubles
13:13
they bring to the castle and the rest for me to handle it is beyond human
13:18
understanding and God said I'll give you that wisdom give you abundance and because you didn't ask me for money too
13:25
I'll give you plenty of money you can ever count amen are you with me
13:31
church so time and opportunity will happen to every one of us so life consist Time and
13:41
opportunity. Tell us about time and opportunity. Ecclesiastes 3 1-2 says to
13:47
everything there is a to everything on the face of this earth. There's an allotted time. There's a time when you
13:54
are born. There's a time when you die. There's a time to be built up, a time to
14:00
be pulled down, and a time to be planted. Amen. So, there's a time for everything.
14:06
And so without you fully understanding and appreciating time, you are going to
14:11
give the praise to the devil at his most powerful. You're going to say things like the devil is the prince of this world. You're going to say things that
14:17
the devil is the most powerful person on the face of this earth. He may be the prince, but God is the king of the whole world and the creator. When God says he
14:25
should release you, not him and all his devils in hell can stop you. And so it
14:30
is a time. The Bible says it is a matter of time. When the fullness of time was
14:38
come, God sent forth his son to
14:43
redeem who ma made of a woman made under the law to redeem them that were under
14:50
the law that we might receive the adoption of sons. Time governs all of God's work and
14:58
it steers the affairs of this life. Have you ever seen anybody who said he was not born without a birth
15:04
date and up to today he can't even tell his age? Our life is confined within time
15:12
and everything God wants to do with us is confined within time. So to waste
15:18
your time and to waste your opportunity is a grave thing in this life. There's
15:24
so many people the devil allows them to waste their time when they are supposed to be the solutions of their world. They
15:32
are now somewhere in the disco high on weed and cocaine and wasting away time
15:38
and opportunity. Sometimes the devil waste so many people's life by the time they
15:45
realize that they were born for something mightier their life is already
15:50
spent and gone out of them. Sometimes it's not about just drugs and
15:56
alcohol. Sometimes bad friendship can withhold us from our
16:01
life, can withhold us from our opportunity. Sometimes bad marriage, wrong people that we marry in the name
16:07
of love. Do you know that when you meet the wrong person, the love is
16:14
special? The Bible says stolen water is sweet. No, it didn't say the water you
16:21
have earned is sweet. stolen water. That is why when you have a girlfriend, you
16:26
are more tempted to be happy there than in your own home. I didn't say it's
16:31
Bible that said it. Hallelujah. So the Bible tell you force yourself to
16:38
be satisfied with your wife's breast because God knows that that level of
16:44
temptation, hey, when it finds you, only mercy will deliver you. Hallelujah.
16:51
Amen. So when you when you have not yet been caught, stop calling others weak.
16:56
When you have not yet fallen into that trap, stop calling people not spiritual. Just say sorry. Oh, may God help you.
17:03
Then you go your way. Hallelujah. Because you have no idea, some of these
17:09
things, sometimes greed, sometimes the chance to see a good day, the chance.
17:16
Some people are led astray, not because they are not trying, but they've tried a thousand times and failed. And because
17:21
they are in a hurry for the opportunity, they have looked away from divine timing
17:27
and are willing to go astray and do everything to taste the good
17:34
day. My ladies and gentlemen, God governs all his work on the face of this
17:40
earth with time. So imagine how much God loves us. Listen, perhaps while we're yet sinners, God commanded his love.
17:46
That is deep love. But that love didn't compel him to break time. Remember this. It never compelled
17:55
God to bring Jesus earlier than the time. The Bible said when the time was full, in the fullness of time set did
18:04
Jesus appear and be born. And and so we must come to understand that when it's got to do with
18:11
this life, time governs most of God's work. All of God's work to be precise.
18:19
Genesis 1:16 18. Let us see how
18:25
God God established time as the government of his works on this earth.
18:31
Genesis 1:16:18. And God made two great lights. And the greater light was to
18:36
rule over the day and the lesser light to rule over the
18:44
night. Hallelujah. And he made the stars
18:49
also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
18:56
earth. Are you there? So the sun, the moon, the stars, they work in unism to
19:07
fulfill time. Their duty number one is to give light on this earth. And number two was
19:14
to what? rule over the day and over the night and to
19:20
divide light from darkness. Uh so the sun rules over the
19:28
day, the moon rule over the night to show that there are dispensations for
19:35
the works of light and dispensations for the work of darkness. Are you done? And
19:40
the next verse the verse 19 says evening came and morning came and it was one
19:48
day. So time is very important. The earth cannot stay without moving through
19:55
time. In fact scientists say that the earth on its axis for 365 days. We are
20:04
we are here. We are not falling down. We've not we are not feeling dizzy but the earth is spinning. It is spinning
20:11
and one side of the earth cannot stay before the sun forever. Every day it is
20:16
spinning so that the heat and everything it is regulated properly. So life on the
20:24
face of this earth can be sustained. Now let us look at
20:30
man. Why was man created? The one that God gave life to. Why was he created?
20:36
Number one, to enforce God's will on earth in all matters of life. Do not
20:42
miss this one. You are here. I am here to make
20:48
sure. Listen.
21:01
Jesus told them the most important pivot of prayer that the will
21:08
of God be done on the face of this earth. And from then he began to explain
21:14
what the will of God was. As far as forgiveness was concerned, as far as our daily bread was concerned, he began to
21:20
explain in detail as a teacher he is.
21:26
Genesis 1:26-28. And God said, "Let us make man in our image, and after our
21:32
likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
21:38
and over the earth, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." And so God
21:43
created man in his own image. Male and female created he them. Ladies and
21:52
gentlemen, as you have known my stance, I do not believe that women are lesser
21:58
human beings than men. I have never taught that before in this church. I know there are people in our
22:05
culture and those things that make it sound as if a woman is inferior. But I want you to read again with me in
22:10
scripture. I understand the Bible said he created him male and female in his
22:16
likeness and image. You know sometimes in theology people
22:21
assume that God is a man. Am I not lying? So we sometimes think a woman is
22:28
not in the image of God. So sometimes we believe that women don't qualify.
22:35
Hallelujah. And I've I've seen many theologians say this all the time. I don't agree with it but I hear them say
22:41
it. So Bible says, "So God created man in his own image. In the image of God
22:46
created him, male and female created he them. And God blessed them and said unto
22:52
them, "Be fruitful and multiply." Take your time. So when God blessed a woman
22:59
and a man, the same, the same duty, the same commission. Is it
23:06
there? Is it there? Then God set one to help the other. Hello.
23:14
You know sometime I read the Bible it gives me a great assurance of how perfect the authors understood what they
23:21
were saying you know in a sense listen okay so if let's imagine uh Dickin has
23:28
three children and these three children he's
23:34
the strongest he's the weakest he is self-sufficient doesn't
23:40
need any help who will you tax for more attention on. He's not the one who needs
23:50
help. But why will the one who is strongest support the one that needs
23:57
help? Unless it is a duty unto God. Listen, women by nature are selfish
24:05
people. No offense to women. They are more loyal to their own
24:12
feelings than their logic. So if they feel good about
24:18
something, it's okay for them. They support it. So in the wisdom of God, he made
24:25
sure that the woman's desire will be the man. What she treasures, what is happy,
24:32
she's happy about will be her husband or a man. But to make the man also understand he
24:39
cannot live without a woman. He gave the woman abilities that the man cannot have. So that the woman is the man's
24:45
help. So the two of them understand they are not on this earth to fight each other nor to compete. They are there
24:52
both to work in unism to getting God's will done on the face of this earth. And
24:58
so they are inseparable. Just as every battery, any car that is operated by battery needs battery to start
25:05
irrespective. It may not be the battery that keeps the car running, but to start the car to move, it requires the
25:11
battery. Am I making sense to somebody? Amen. And so God blessed them and said of
25:18
them, "Be fruitful and multiply. Replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
25:24
over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon this
25:30
earth." Hallelujah. Are you with me, church?
25:47
But the number one purpose for which we are here on this earth is to serve
25:52
God. You're not here to be a basketball player. You're not here to be a doctor. You are not here to be a rich jodetic
26:01
engineer. You are not here to be a world famous man who eats with Prince Williams
26:06
and the rest. All that is the additions that help your
26:12
work and your your love for God and your service for God to be more established.
26:17
Are you understand? Those are things that come in to help but they are not what is your mission on the face of the
26:23
earth. Your mission is to serve God in this lifetime. How do I serve God as a
26:29
Christian? How will I be able to serve God? The first way you can serve God is through ministry. Tell somebody
26:35
ministry. So in ministry here I'm talking about either you are serving in a church or
26:41
you have a mission God has given you concerning something in specifics you must do on the face of this earth. Are
26:48
you understanding me? So you could have a ministry of
26:53
service to others where you provide service to others in any
26:58
way. Let let me let me please permit me. I'm not straight. I'm just mentioning something. Let's imagine a service
27:04
provider like you You have people build their house. You have people build their
27:10
house. How does that help me? How does that become a ministry I serve God in?
27:17
By being faithful. By making sure everything that went through your hands
27:23
brought about results. Do you understand me? Classic
27:28
example. A contractor was given a contract, a road contract to build a road in a certain region. And when he
27:35
started a contract, everybody wanted a piece of it. He refused to give them money. They frustrated him. They fought him. They frustrated him. But he went
27:41
ahead and built that particular uh uh hospital. So it was a good
27:47
hospital. So fast forward 20 15 years. In fact, he lost his licenses, lost
27:52
everything. He went into something else because he was being faithful. Then one day, his child was posted to that region
28:00
and his child was seriously sick. seriously sick and where his child was, the only
28:08
hospital that could save his life was the hospital the father
28:13
built. You see, the devil is older and his agents are capable of seeing the
28:19
future than us. Are you with me? And so, whenever the enemy wants you to do what
28:26
isn't in the plan of God, he knows you exchanging something good for something
28:31
bad. And so for most people in our system who
28:36
for little they will get they will destroy others or they will allow things to get best get worse just because they
28:43
will benefit small from it and no other person will benefit. Those people have no idea that they are serving the
28:50
devil's agenda on the face of this earth. So to avoid your
28:57
trouble like the politics of Africa
29:06
blindly. But these people forget that what they are doing is serving the
29:11
devil's goal and purpose on the face of this earth. They are making sure the devil can hold our nations in servitude
29:18
in poverty to destroy all the good plans and development God has for our
29:26
future. So ministry to the world isn't ministry to nothing. It is ministry to
29:34
God. You know um sometimes I I heard something that really impressed me. Um,
29:40
when I was growing up, there was this impression that people made us think that the late president Rollins didn't
29:46
like churches. Uh, he didn't like Christians. People even claim he even killed pastors. People claimed with no
29:52
evidence, but they were accusing him. And one day I was in a conference and
29:57
one bishop stood up and said, "Do you know it was President Rollins who sent the head of lands in Ara to come and
30:03
give me a land? The land I built my temple on, it was President Rollins who gave it to us. He sat down and looked at
30:10
a few people were becoming leaders in the future. Saw how they were teaching the
30:15
word of God and trying to make sure that they will survive that they will have the avenue
30:23
for them to raise the people who hold the baton and run. And today some of those people that he helped they are
30:29
rather stopping other good people from coming because they are afraid that when those people also rise their numbers
30:37
will leave their ministries. But this is a man they tagged an enemy. This a man they tagged
30:44
a devil yet he worked for God's work. Are you understanding what I'm saying
30:50
this morning? I'm not doing politics. I'm I'm teaching relevant things that would help your life as far as knowing
30:58
and serving God is concerned. Are you understanding me? So
31:03
ministry to people isn't to the devil. It's rather to God. And so when you do
31:08
evil to others too, you are doing that same evil to God. That is why the Bible says that on the judgment day, he will
31:15
say, "I was hungry and you fed me. I was a stranger and you took me in. So
31:23
Jesus said whosoever whoso whatsoever you have done to any anyone the least of
31:29
the kingdom you have done it unto me. So when I speak of ministry it is not
31:34
limited to church alone is limited to anything your hands find to do that you
31:40
must do it as if you are doing unto God. Are you understanding me? If it's a marriage be the best
31:46
husband you can be. Let your wife be the worst devil. Forget about it and be the
31:51
best husband you can be. I don't say sit down, let her kill you. I didn't say that. Make sure you
31:57
are killed. That is not love. Please, ladies and gentlemen. You know for sure that if you
32:03
stay in that house, blows will fly and if you are not careful, you end up in
32:12
prison. Hallelujah. Abraham our example separated from his
32:19
wife when he found out it was not possible for the two of them to live under one roof. So have common sense the
32:24
father we are saying be the best husband be the best wife doesn't mean stay there till the man cut off your head.
32:31
You know this man if the chance get he poison you and kill you
32:43
sister. Hallelujah. And so what I'm saying is that whatever your hands will find
32:48
doing, do it your best. Do it with your best. Exodus 23:25
32:56
says something. But before I come to that, let us let us go to Colossians
33:01
3:23:24. It says, "Whatever you would do, do it heartily. Ask to the Lord and
33:07
not unto men, knowing that of the Lord, you shall receive the reward of the
33:13
inheritance, for you serve Christ." What you're doing for others, no, you are rather doing it for Christ. And because
33:19
of that, God will reward you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. 1 Corinthians the chapter 15:58 says,
33:26
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work
33:34
of the Lord, for as much as we as ma as much as ye know that your labor is not
33:41
in vain in the Lord." So many people give up in the church too much, too early.
33:49
You know as a pastor these as a not working for somebody but in my own ministry for these 16 years I have seen
33:57
so many things I like to share some with you. I think some of them are very interesting. Some people are offended
34:03
when they come to church and you don't have the crowd. You have done nothing to them.
34:08
There's nothing wrong you have done but because they did not see plenty people in that church they are offended. They
34:13
will go and never come again. I don't know whether the people who are supposed to be in the crowd is a more
34:19
assurance that God wants you to be there or not. I I don't know. You get where I'm coming from? Human perceptions. I've
34:28
also found people who take offense because what they wanted to do in the church, you didn't allow them to do it
34:33
the way they wanted.
34:38
When God had put a captain and had put a husband man in charge of the work who is
34:43
instructing us to do what we should do, they want to come and start their own different
34:48
plan. I've met so many people. I've met others who felt that
34:55
you know church is all about money nothing else. You should consider about having more money and getting more money
35:00
so you can spend more money on church so that people think that the presence of money is a divine confine a confirmment
35:08
or a divine proof that God is there. I met several people like that
35:15
ministry. I've also met people who who are convinced that God is there and all
35:21
of the above I've mentioned is not their priority. I've also met people like that. I've met
35:28
good people who stood through the times irrespective of the
35:33
challenge. Others also take offense easily because of what you will say or
35:39
what you will preach about. Others will even take political offense from
35:44
examples you will give and they are willing to throw away
35:50
their work they are doing for which they will get an answer a reward and a gate open for them in heaven when they come
35:57
one day they will throw it all away to justify their
36:04
hurt there's something I want to tell you this because because your service to
36:10
God is so important He has he has linked it to your long
36:15
life. Have you noticed that very few people die die of natural cause of
36:22
death even when you grow very old very very old at 100 and 200 something must
36:28
kill you otherwise you won't die either you get heart attack or one
36:34
day you wake up and your body just won't go on and if they do autopsy they will know there's something that went wrong
36:40
with your body or a sickness other 200
36:54
So it is very rare to see people say oh there was not nothing wrong and they slept and they they died. Even when they
36:59
go into auto autobiosis for somebody who slept and died they would have noticed the heart stopped working. So they will
37:06
say cardiac arrest. Is that not it? If the heart supposed to work did not work anymore. It was arrested and stood at
37:12
one place and so the day went to an end for the man or the woman. So join me in the book of Exodus
37:18
23:25. The Bible says, "And you shall serve." This is
37:24
conditionality. So long as you are serving God, he will bless every food you eat, every water you drink, and he
37:32
will make sure that sicknesses and diseases is not in your midst.
37:37
Ask your are you serving God? You see God has given you all your
37:44
lifetime. Let's say 100 years, 500 years in this church and you are doing nothing but
37:50
coming to church to sit warm the place and go. It's not fair. Tell it's not
37:56
fair. Get tight on your tell tight on your time. Tight on your lifetime with God.
38:03
Tight that time. The Bible spoke of the Jews that they were so so holy in titan
38:09
they would tighten their spices. If there's salt in their house they divide they wear the salt and said
38:14
10% of the salt belongs to God. They didn't just bring money digging. The guys will bring salt.
38:39
And Jesus prays and Jesus said these people, you don't joke with them when it comes to following their types. I don't
38:45
believe that's a bad thing. I think generally all over the world, the Jews are known to be richer. Let's be
38:50
realistic. Do you know that most of the banking system in the world is owned by the Jews? You understand why the Jews are so
38:58
powerful? Even though they're doing something wrong, nobody talks against them. No media network, no fa even if
39:04
you say something against Israel or somebody like that on Facebook, Facebook himself will attack
39:12
you. Governments are afraid. Governments are afraid to confront except for the
39:17
Islamic governments. They are being oppressed. So they must speak their mind. But no, governments are afraid to
39:24
say, "Oh brother, what you doing to your fellow brother is not good." They are afraid. Why? Because these people control the money, they control the
39:30
softwares. Do you know that a lot of the things that we use on our gadgets, their license and owned by
39:38
Israel, the world's money is in their hands. And Jesus said, Jesus testified
39:43
and said, "These people, they don't joke with their title." He didn't say they were holy men. He called them hypocrites and
39:48
liars. He called them all bad names. But there's one thing he said about them. He said if only your holiness can be
39:55
compared to these people who pay tithes in cumins and
40:00
anis. Let me rephrase that statement to something you can easily understand. He said he's saying if your perfection
40:08
that's the word holiness if your perfection can be in the examples of these people who do honor God's word of
40:16
tithing to the extent of paying tight on their herbs and spices in their
40:23
houses then you can enter the heaven into the gates of
40:30
heaven. So tell somebody serve God. The breath of life in
40:35
you is fueled by your will to serve God in this
40:41
life. So some of you, you go to a church, the pastor insult you. If you notice where God wants you to be, stay.
40:47
The fact the pastor beats you, he treats you anyhow. Stay. You are not there because of the pastor. You are there because of who?
40:54
God. Sometimes you are just there to encourage one man God is sending. And God is sending that person to that
40:59
ministry because of you. not the pastor. You are there to lift that person to the next stage. Then your job is
41:09
done. The next thing God wants us to why we are here is to raise family. Tell
41:15
somebody godly family. Tell that person godly family.
41:20
These are not truth only born out of you. But sometimes you get the chance to raise a family. Are you with me? The
41:27
book of Malachi 2:15 says, "Why did God make man and woman
41:33
one?" Why? When they were people of different
41:39
spirit and he had made them one. Why? And he explains why. So that he will
41:45
seek godly seed. Okay, let me say this. So that he
41:52
will seek children that God has sent them on the face of this earth. Am I making sense to somebody? You see, you
41:58
see, you might think that it doesn't matter you, you a good shooter. That's why you have plenty children in your
42:04
home. That's why you have 3,000 children. It's not because you're a good shooter. It's because God has blessed
42:11
your quiver. Are you understanding what I'm trying to say? He has blessed your quiver to bring the people he has he has
42:18
destined for this world to come through you into this world. Am I making sense
42:24
to somebody? The Bible says, "Blessed are gifts from the Lord and
42:29
blessed is the man whose quiver whose quiver is full of them." Sorry for the women. Women you are not seed givers.
42:35
Men are seedgivers. That's why God referred to us as such. Hallelujah. Amen. Nowadays the wives they are not
42:42
they are not a yo they are not uh happy that the children look like us. Oh say why me? I kept the child for 9 months
42:49
the child doesn't look like me. Hey in modern Africa the child looks like somebody else when he's you are married
42:54
to somebody else you don't fire all fire will break loose are you with me so if he looks
43:01
like you finish is that not it you give birth to a child who looks
43:07
completely like you are you crazy you give birth the child has a
43:12
nose like you mouth like you eat like you behave like
43:20
Are you church? And so raising a family is important to God. The Samsons, the
43:28
the Malachi, the the the Isaiah, the the
43:34
Peters, the the people that will serve this generation and and bring about uh
43:40
God's will for the face of this earth. Let me say this
43:46
that onward discoveries, scientific research, human improvement and
43:52
development of health, medicine, and the rest is a clear indication that God
43:57
still is doing great works in us. He may not be writing a new Bible through us, but he will be working through us to
44:05
take care and to keep and dress the kingdom he has established on the face
44:11
of this earth. And God does that through family. Tell somebody
44:17
family. So whether you gave birth to them, you adopted them, or decided to raise
44:23
them, family comes from God.
44:29
God said of Abraham, he said, he said, "I know him that he will command his
44:35
children and his household after him to be just like him, and they shall keep
44:40
the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he had spoken of
44:48
him." You there? So, this is God testifying of my man. He said this this is the reason why
44:54
I love Abraham because Abraham will raise his family after me. If Abraham is obedient,
45:01
he will teach his children to be obedient to God. If Abraham loves God, he will teach his children to love this God and never depart. David was leaving
45:07
and when he put Solomon on the on the throne, he comes. He said, "Serve this God genuinely from your heart. Don't
45:12
pretend when it comes to God." David said to Solomon, "Do not pretend. Do not think you are smarter than him. Serve
45:18
him out of the truth of your heart." He was a king. How was he going to serve God? By the way he will treat the people
45:24
he governs. Are you with me? When he went to God, he said to give
45:32
me wisdom to rule your people. He began to see them as a special people who God
45:38
owned and they are not his
45:47
servants. God has children he has sent for the kingdom. Some are healers, some are doctors, some
45:54
are dentists, some are rappers, some are musicians, some are bankers, some are
46:01
everything. But they will come through you. I want you to lift up your hand and put it on your tummy, on your navel, on
46:08
your nail and say, "In the name of Jesus, I will be an
46:14
instrument for God to use to raise godly seed on the face of this earth in Jesus
46:23
name." Take your time. Do you know that people who are working for the devil are also doing
46:30
same? They are doing same. In fact, some of them are even choosing to marry Christian women so
46:36
that they can borrow from them the qualities of
46:42
perfection, truth and other things in in
46:53
value. You hear people say, "Oh, and my mother gave birth to me and then he he will kill human meat and want me to eat
47:00
it.
47:10
empower the kingdom of
47:16
darkness. Look, I have nothing against children you have, but choose the women you want to have children with
47:22
carefully. Hello men. This is not for every
47:28
woman. is for the woman that you know will contribute something to your
47:35
child's destiny and life. So let them dress skimpy and behave anything on social
47:43
media but don't go and like there. Hallelujah. Are you understanding what
47:50
I'm trying to say ladies and gentlemen?
47:56
The final thing God wants us to do is good works of faith. If if you get these things, you
48:03
get life right. If if you get these three I'm teaching, you can never die and go to
48:10
hell. If you get these three things correct, you will be able to walk like
48:18
Abraham walked and had a mansion in heaven. You'll be able to achieve greater things
48:24
than you can ever imagine. Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are his
48:30
workmanship, created in Christ unto good
48:41
works. You exist in this life to contribute good. That is why you cannot
48:47
blindly support a political party when you know that what they are doing will harm your nation. Are you understanding
48:53
what I'm trying to say? You cannot blindly pretend media I'm a tribesman
48:58
until my tribes man is there I don't trust anybody. No, that's not the essence of life. That's not the essence
49:04
of authority and power. The other day I was speaking to some of
49:11
my schoolmates and I was saying that as a we are usually racist. Said how can you say
49:18
that to me? I said how does aans feel when somebody's going to marry outside their
49:30
enta and call us animals eh and say that is racism that is racism
49:36
but it's a type of racism the other type where we don't want this kind of people in our
49:46
family pure pure
49:51
pure where we see other tribes as beneath us is racism. It's like it's preference for
49:57
one race than the other. That's what it
50:03
means. I know sometimes some of them when they come to marry your son or your daughter, you are scared cuz they have
50:10
this shakazulu mark all over their face and and then you know this are you is it going to battle or they are going to
50:16
marry? Is it love battle or or hallelujah? No offense intended.
50:22
Amen. Just for love. Titus 3:8 says, "This is a faithful saying, and these
50:29
things I know that thou are firm constantly." So said this is something
50:35
you must always keep saying, never stop and make sure that constantly people know this that they which have believed
50:41
in God might be careful. That means they should every day try to maintain good
50:50
works. One day a a woman brought a certain man who was in Japan who had
50:56
problems to pray with and as we were praying and the man
51:01
had issues and I will call him and those things. The woman asked me, "Ah, I said I thought you brought him
51:09
to I said, "Hey, I was shocked. I was
51:15
surprised the other day brought another woman, elderly woman who was going
51:21
through issues attorney for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
51:32
I was surprised. I said, "Ah." When I started ministry, there was a lot of things happening. I said, "Ah, am I in
51:37
the wrong place or am I dreaming?" Because it looks as if every good thing you do, people make it sound as if
51:42
you're an idiot. I said, "What was wrong?" Is it
51:49
because nobody has taught them that when it comes to Christianity, you are called to a life of good works and not a life
51:55
of smartness and sharpness? And it looks as if that most Christians are behaving like Jacob the
52:02
suppler than Jesus Christ. When you go to heaven, you will
52:08
not go to heaven on the tribe of Jacob's good works. You're going to go on the
52:13
example and the blood of Jesus. Are you understanding me? Says constantly he tells Titus, if
52:20
you are believed in God, the next thing you are called to do is good works.
52:26
movie.
52:32
[Music]
52:57
where you have started. Don't stop. Keep going. Keep going. Don't stop that place. Keep going. Stop. Don't stop
53:05
helping. Don't let anything deter you from doing that good. Even when you feel as if you are being abused, just keep on
53:11
doing that good. He says, "Be careful to maintain
53:16
good works. These are good and profitable unto men." The book of Titus
53:22
the chapter 2 the chapter 2 the verses 7 to8 in all things showing yourself a
53:28
pattern of good
53:33
works in doctrine showing unccorruptness in doctrine gravity severity sound
53:40
speech that cannot be condemned that he that is of the contrary part may be
53:46
ashamed having no evil thing to say of you.
53:53
Sometimes when when I go online and I'm trying to explain something to do with
53:58
the kingdom of God, some people try to make you look bad. Either they insult you, call you medicated and and they
54:06
bait to see whether you get angry and insult someone, bait you to whether you
54:12
have the temperament. Then I remember this scripture. Bible said in all your actions prove yourself as one who is a
54:20
good example. So after they've insulted you after they've called you names expecting you to
54:39
say let me give a classic picture. I watch this on social media. There's this man, he loves his wife, love his wife,
54:46
love his wife. One day the wife and wife came and said, "You are too boring." Says, "Why?" He said, "Honey, it's better you divorce me because you don't
54:52
fight. You don't fight with me. Some I just want to
55:03
qualing one on your on your page." And this guy, the wife can say, "You are too
55:09
perfect. You don't have a girlfriend. You you you buff. You you you
55:14
you don't put your towel on the bed like daddy does. You eat
55:21
food. You do everything. No honey, I must divorce you. It's not good. I was watching that
55:28
video. I said, "Hey, some people want, they don't get. Some people get, they
55:33
don't want." Hallelujah.
55:47
change is human beings. Amen. 2 Timothy chapter 3:16
55:54
says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for
55:59
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." So
56:05
the purpose of the scripture God has given you is so that it will correct you. It will put you on the right track.
56:12
It will make sure that you can attain righteousness. That the man of
56:18
God may be perfect, thoroughly finished to do only one thing. What? To do all
56:25
good works. Hello
56:41
Colossians 1:10, that we might walk worthy of the Lord unto all, pleasing,
56:48
being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of
56:57
God. Bow your head and let us pray.
57:06
Dear brothers and sisters, if you get these three these three things right,
57:13
you will get life right. You will not miss life.
57:20
As you are here prioritizing your ministry to serve God, to sing or to do something for God, somebody has been
57:26
called to go and eat a mu and after that to go and enjoy time at some
57:32
hotel. They have prioritized other things not knowing that that can also bring them
57:38
trouble. But you have pri prioritized the ability to come into this day and to
57:44
benefit from the grace and the strength of our Lord Jesus Christ.
57:52
Church, I declare over your life the wisdom, the strength, the
57:58
understanding and the grace of the almighty to get life right in Jesus
58:04
name. Amen. I want to encourage you to become
58:09
a member and find something doing in this church and to turn things around through your service. I want to
58:16
encourage you to love God's word and always be studying it. I know sometimes it's hard when you are driving.
58:22
Sometimes when you're a family man, it's hard to find time to sit down. But please, so far as there are earphods
58:28
around, put one in your ears and listen to the entire Bible as of at least try
58:34
and listen to one or two or three chapters. As you grow a habit of learning to listen to God's word, your
58:42
faith will grow. Your wisdom will grow. Your understanding of things will grow.
58:48
The Holy Spirit will use those words you are hearing to teach you further and prepare you in this life so that you can
58:54
go about doing good works in Jesus name. I thank you Holy Spirit. I bless
59:02
you for your work in our midst. In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit. Now oh lord lifting up

them. That God will establish them and God will cause them to remember
1:02:10
their church and that God will bless every good plan they have and everything their

us. May he be a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. May the
1:05:05
presence of the Almighty rest upon our lives, our businesses, our homes.
1:05:14
May the strength of God defend our cause.
1:05:20
May he be our shield and battle. May the Lord cause his angels to encamp

1:05:33
death, all police cases, all trials, all challenges, and all problems away from
