Church, it's time for God's word. I want to share with you something that will bless your life, something that will
0:08
prepare you for your destiny and for doing what which is God God's heart in
0:13
Jesus name. Amen. When I have the green light, I will start. Amen. Do I have the
0:19
green light, please? Amen. I want to speak on instructing our house after
0:24
him. Tell somebody instructing our house after him.
0:30
What do I mean by the word instructing our house? I mean teaching our children
0:36
to walk after God. Amen. The book of Genesis the chapter 18 verse 19 says for
0:42
I know him. This is God testifying of and God said for I know him. He will
0:50
command his children and his house after him, that they shall keep the way of the
0:56
Lord to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that
1:03
which he has spoken of him. Now, God said prophetically some things that are
1:09
important we must note. Number one, God said Abraham had a character that
1:15
fostered his plan of continuity. God has a plan of continuity. God doesn't call
1:21
you alone. He calls you the children yet born in your groins. He calls your great
1:27
great generations. That's why the Bible says that when you go and serve other gods also, you bring a curse upon your
1:33
family to the third and fourth generation for 400 years. You are cursing the rest of the generations that
1:38
you have. When you bow your feet to idols or consult idols in any
1:43
circumstance, that's what the word of God says in the book of commandments. The ten commandments says if you shall
1:51
bow your feet to any graven image, you are bringing a curse and bringing a tr
1:56
trouble to your generations for 400 years. And so it is not a matter of
2:01
culture or matter of choice. It's a matter of doing what is right by our
2:07
creator, the one who created us. Amen. Hallelujah. Genesis 18, the verse 19 says, for I
2:14
know him. This is God testifying of Abraham said Abraham believes in
2:19
continuity. I know him. He will instruct his children. Not only will Abraham do what is right. He will make sure his
2:26
children will go after what he has done. They will do the same as he has done and they will keep the way of the Lord.
2:34
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the light. No one comes to to to
2:41
walk with God means to go in a path and away. And God said to do justice and judgment
2:48
to do what? Justice and judgment. The greater sense of Christianity that is
2:54
missed in our time. People assume because they are Christians, they can get away with doing everybody anything.
3:01
There's no sense of justice. They don't believe that God will pay them for their wrong. They think that everything they
3:07
will go scot-free uh to some extent not everything you pay a price for but
3:13
things when you do you will pay a price for in life. Amen. That's what justice is. Justice is not a matter of uh
3:21
preference. God is not a respector of persons. He doesn't care who you are. Where you do
3:26
what is wrong you are wrong. Are you with me? Our elder was sharing
3:32
something about about how Palestinians are suffering. They also God's creation. Remember this. Those who are not
3:38
believers, they are also God's creation. God created them. God invested time to mold them, to create them, to put them
3:44
here for a purpose. They are not here so that you do anything you want with them and go scot-free. There's another
3:50
religion I want I don't want to mention name. They believe that if you do any sin to any other person who's not part of that religion, God will forgive you.
3:58
But if you do a sin against your own fellow church member, then that sin God won't forgive you. These are all
4:03
misrepresented ideologies in Christianity and in in Christian worship. That is not how God is. The
4:10
Bible said for he's said you should forget that you should remember the Lord that he's a just God. He's not a
4:16
respector of persons and that by no means though he's forgiving and caring and kind and he by no means does he
4:22
clear the guilty. So that means there is a sense of justice in God that is not pereted.
4:30
And lastly, judgment. The judgment means that the choices God have made, the statements God has made, the decisions
4:37
God have made are held in law and tandem. For example, if you're a lawyer
4:43
and you go to court and you want a case to be judged in your favor, you need to
4:49
be able to remember the judge. If there has ever been a ruling on that same matter that favored the direction you
4:56
are going, then you can call the judges reminders. case so and so and so in 1946
5:01
this was what the case was about and the judge ruled that blah blah blah because every judgment is a law. Are you
5:08
understanding me? And so how God has dealt with our predecessor should give us guidance to
5:16
understand that this is how God wants us to walk on the face of this earth.
5:23
How many of you know that God forgives sin? You all know God forgives sin. Can God
5:29
forgive you if you never ask for forgiveness of sin? How come you know that? Some people
5:35
don't know. Some people believe that if your pastor is praying for your sins to forgive forgiven, if your your leaders
5:42
are praying for sins to forgive, your sins will be forgiven. It doesn't work that way. You must also ask for forgiveness. Do you understand what I'm
5:48
trying to say? Some even believe that if you are a president and you do something wrong and there are people praying for
5:54
you, God will forgive your sins. That's not how Christianity works. I don't know who has been giving people this kind of ideas.
6:00
There's no example of that like that in scripture. The Bible speaks of a difference between
6:06
David and and King Saul. You remember what was the difference? Both of them
6:11
committed sin against God. God pronounced judgment to all of them. What did one do? One asked for forgiveness.
6:17
The other did not ask forgiveness. The other went to to Saul to to someone and said, "Pray for me. ask God for
6:23
forgiveness for me and please do not disgrace me in front of the people who are here. Let them don't think that let
6:28
them not even see that God has said something bad about me. There was a difference in the approach of King
6:34
David. When the king to the the the prophet told him God has said this, he
6:40
take your kingdom. David went on his knees and beg for forgiveness. And when God had even judged that the baby should
6:46
die, David said, "Punish me. It is me who committed the sin. I don't doubt I have committed a sin. I have sinned
6:51
against you. God, kill me and spare the child." And because he went to God to
6:56
ask for forgiveness. The Bible said he's faithful and just. David
7:04
say he remains the same faithful that if a man seeks forgiveness he will
7:10
give him so don't be too high high heel on your shoes I am president I am king I
7:17
should be seen asking for forgiveness it is a bit too high this is how the kingdom works hello
7:24
and you see there are ministries and churches fostering these ideas in people's heads
7:30
making them go far and far away from God every chance they can get to get closer to him. Brother, when you sin, sin is
7:38
not something impossible. Oh, you see, in fact, in church, modern day church, sin is seen as something if you do, they
7:43
are you cry there, you are the worst human being on earth. But when you ask for forgiveness, they are it is um I
7:51
know how to say it. It is out of place. Hallelujah. As much as sin is common to man, so must
7:58
asking for forgiveness be common to man. Do you understand me? Until the last
8:03
trumpet blows, God remains faithful to forgive every sin we have committed. Do
8:08
you understand me? Let us all be happy to shame people in church of the sin they have committed and not be willing
8:14
to teach them to go to God who forgives sin. Are you understanding what I'm trying to say? It is only in the blood
8:20
of Jesus that there is redemption for sin, not our lengthy prayer, not how powerful. Listen, if a thousand people
8:27
rise up to pray, they cannot force God to forgive anybody. Do you know that? Because the Bible describes God as being
8:33
what? Sovereign. Do you understand me? That means no matter what you do, you can't influence him.
8:41
What influence him is his will. And his will already is to forgive us. So that's
8:46
when we pray and we go to him in prayer, he forgives us.
8:54
Listen, why is this doctrine very important? Listen, in the olden days
9:00
when the tabernacle of witness was there, only one man could go before God once a year to ask for everybody's sin.
9:07
That didn't mean that people didn't ask for their sins. They they asked but to be sure the sin was forgiven only one
9:13
man could appear before God right one man to appear before God once a year to
9:20
offer blood sacrifice in the temple. The Bible said when he says that what happened the Bible said the veil that
9:25
separated the most holy from holies was torn that all who desires to go into the
9:31
presence of God can now go individually on the basis of their wrong to ask for
9:36
forgiveness of sin. That doesn't mean that pastors are not important anymore. We are we are here to teach you the
9:43
truth irrespective of how you perceive things. We must teach you the truth in
9:48
all things. So there are judgments of God that we
9:55
cannot ignore. And this is what God said that I may
10:00
bring. See every blessings of God is condition. I said I have said something great I want to do to Abraham but what I
10:06
will do with Abraham and his generation is dependent on continuity of his children to follow after me even so even
10:14
when Abraham is no more. One of our primary purpose of being
10:20
parents is to raise up our children to walk with God.
10:26
Nigeria are not there so that you think you have the nicest kids, handsome boys, handsome girls.
10:38
That is not really the reason why God gave you children. But the reason why God gave you children so that his plan
10:44
for the generations to come. He can purpose your generation in it. He can
10:50
place your generation in that plan. Pivot them as foundations for the work
10:55
he's doing. So every parent's way or every parent's
11:01
duty to God is to raise the children to walk with God.
11:47
to walk after them. The Bible said when the time came for for Jacob to pass
11:55
away, he blessed them and told them of what God was planning to do, how God will use them, the 12 of his children to
12:01
build a tribe. He told them all the things God and told them how they must keep walking with God so that every plan
12:08
and promise of God will succeed. Time will fail me to talk about many
12:13
other great people like Moses, like Joshua. Every great person you've seen in scripture, always raise the people
12:20
who were with them or were given to them as children to be able to walk with God.
12:27
Tell somebody, raise your children. Tell the person, raise your children
12:33
to walk with God to teach us how to do good. Am I lying? You hear all these
12:38
stories all the time. So what really is the value of godly values?
12:45
Number one, it guarantees peace with God. The things that God respect, if they
12:52
become things you also respect, you come to a place of walking in peace with God,
12:58
not in pieces. Watch. The devil does not see the values
13:03
of God. The devil opposes the values of God. When God says touch on my anointed,
13:08
the devil say oh touch nothing go happen nothing day nothing day
13:18
when when God says don't do this the devil tell you are you sure you can't do this nothing will happen it's joke it's
13:23
joke so when a person chooses to uphold godly
13:29
values he's at peace with God when we we uphold godly values it sets
13:35
us free from guilt guilt and shame. If the things that are important to God
13:42
becomes what is important to us, we are steered from the place of guilt, condemnation, and the place of shame.
13:53
When we uphold the values of God, it proves our love for God. Jesus said, "If
13:58
you love me, obey my commandments." Every time the things that are important to God becomes important to us, we are
14:05
making a statement that we love God. All of you have boyfriends and girlfriends.
14:10
Imagine their birthday. You forget how what are you trying to say? You are busy. You forgot them. They're going to
14:16
say you don't remember them. You don't really care about them. Or or for example, for example, if your girlfriend
14:22
or your boyfriend tells you, "Oh, this is a very important day. I want to be able to do this and do that. I really need
14:28
or they are traveling and their plane is at 6:00 and they beg you to wake them up and you waking them at 10:00 a.m.
14:37
How would the person feel? They're never going to forgive you.
14:43
So when you care about somebody, the things that are important to them becomes important to you.
14:50
Again, godly value transcends culture, tribe, and harmonizes with the rule of
14:56
law. For example, when God is not a respect of person, makes us know that
15:01
every other human being is God's creation. Uh that how I treat another
15:06
human being is how I treat God. Are you understanding what I'm trying to
15:11
say? Please, are you understanding me? This
15:17
does not this does not mean that when you are in authority you don't exercise authority. That's not what I mean. But don't abuse people out of disrespect.
15:24
Don't treat people out of what? Disrespect. They are not less human beings. They are
15:29
not of less value to anybody. They are equal.
15:34
I know this is a very hard balance for people. Very hard balance for people. But this is how godly value is.
15:43
So it doesn't matter your culture. It doesn't matter who you are in this world. Whether you a musy whether you
15:51
are from Scotland respecting people is not different. Huh? Which culture says
15:57
everybody's an animal? Forget them. Every culture tries to aspire a sense of
16:03
unity and a sense of accept acceptance. Am I lying? So godly values transcend culture. It
16:10
transfer transcends tribes. Yes, there are some tribes that find themselves more important than others. But in the
16:17
value of God, every tribe on the face of this earth is important.
16:23
Jacob had 12 children who were made of 12 tribes. They were not all the same. Not all had the same capabilities, but
16:28
none was more important than the other. Though unto Judah was given the right to give birth to kings
16:36
for their generations, Judah wasn't high above all of them. They were all what? Equal. And each man had their place in
16:44
the things of God. And so what God did was that in the house of Judah, this place will come kings who will sit on
16:50
the throne as a nation. In the house of Benjamin will come men who are skillful, wise, men of power, men of skill, who
16:58
can develop things, who can build army and armory.
17:41
and regulations of the nation you live in. Are you understanding what I'm trying to say? Whether you are priest or
17:47
whatever you are, you must obey the rules and regulations of the law of the land.
17:55
Godly values promotes human rights and justice.
18:00
Godly values enhances peace on earth. If we have godly values, we know that going
18:05
to bomb another country doesn't make it right. We know that no country is a less human
18:11
beings. When we are trading, we are not hoping to give the rotten things to another man. The Bible said an unjust
18:17
balance is an abomination. Some people when they're doing business with you, they must cheat you. They must
18:23
cheat you until you cry. Otherwise, that business is not business for them. That's not how it works.
18:31
Godly value remembers that if I am giving you anything service for money, I
18:38
must give you quality service for quality money. Are you understanding me? That means if for any reason what
18:45
everybody charge 5,000, if you charge me 10,000, then give me quality for it. What is the quality? Do it with all your
18:51
heart because of service. Do it all determination that I want this to last. Are you understanding where I'm coming from?
18:59
There are some people they misrepresent life as the halves and the have nots
19:04
because they have they entitled to do everything to everybody. That's not how being a Christian means.
19:12
Godly values empowers us to rule over the powers of darkness. Listen. Jesus
19:18
says and said, "Yes, the devil is coming. Yes, the the the
19:23
Herod is coming. The fox or the wolf is coming, but he has nothing in me. Yes, Herod may come, but if he finds no fault
19:29
in me, how does he harm me? How does he hurt me?" When we obey godly values, we
19:34
become faultless even before the forces of darkness.
19:42
The book of first John the chapter 5:es 2 to 4 says for this is the love of God
19:47
that we keep his commandments. This is the proof that we love God that we keep his commandments. His commandments are
19:54
not grievious. A Christian must never see the commandments of God as as a
20:01
we must see it as good for us. We must see it as great opportunity for us to inherit more and to get more.
20:10
If somebody brought you two numbers, they're too sure. But if you stake it this week, you'll be
20:15
a billionaire. The person is coming from the national lotteryies. You know, he has told you if you get it, this is our
20:22
share. Some of you go and sell all you have and go and stake it and win. That
20:27
is how the command of God should feel like to you. When it comes, you must be willing to go the mile, the length to
20:33
obey it. Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is like a man who went to work in a field and found treasure in that land.
20:39
He went to sell all he had and brought it to buy that field that he may have treasures.
20:48
For whatsoever is born of God will overcome the world." And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even
20:56
our faith, even our trust in God.
21:01
Romans 7:12 says, "Wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and just
21:07
and good." Every instruction God gives you, there is no error in it. There's no mistake. He loves you. It's coming out
21:15
of the depth of his love that when you do it, you might be able to be blameless, faultless, empowered,
21:23
strengthened to have more, to do more than anyone else. Psalm 197-9 says, "And
21:29
the law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony,
21:37
the testimony of the Lord is sure, true, making wise the simple. The statutes of
21:43
the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the
21:50
Lord is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous allto together.
21:58
Tell somebody godly values are important. Tell a person it's critical
22:04
to life. Godly values are critical to life.
22:09
Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old,
22:15
he will not depart from it." Train up a child. Train up a child. Train up a child. Just train up a child.
22:21
Hallelujah. The book of Deuteronomy 66 6-7 says, "And these words which I
22:27
command you this day shall be in thy heart and thou shalt teach them diligently to your children." That you
22:33
will not make an error. You will force it. You will make a way. You do everything possible to make
22:49
children 2 Timothy the chapter 3:14 15 said, "But
22:54
continue thou in these things which thou hast learned and le and and has been
23:01
assured of knowing of whom thou has learned them that from a child thou has known the holy scriptures which are able
23:07
to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." Says, "Continue, continue teach your children
23:15
about the word of God. You have a duty. Oh, before any of you
23:22
put one one ble in or put one child out there, understand that you have a duty
23:27
to teach the word of God to your children. You must first know, then you
23:32
must teach. You know, when you beat them, you you must stand on the word of God to beat them. You say, Allah, why am I beating
23:40
you? The word of God says that you have done this, so I must beat them. You beat them. And I go and say, God, why? Why?
23:47
Why? But he keeps beating you, correcting you, quoting the word of God onto you until it makes sense to your
23:53
life. You have two children. Every time you share something, the one will take the
23:59
biggest and everyone will struggle.
24:05
Instead of you correcting that child on the word of God and telling him to be kind to share, the Bible says there is
24:12
one who withholds and loses it all and one who spreads and have it all to how to share with his brothers and sisters.
24:18
You have not taught these principles.
24:26
We forget there is a duty to the next generation and children like that God cannot use. The devil will make use of
24:32
them because greed will become common to them. It become a standard for them.
24:38
Ephesians 6:4 says, "And you know, fathers, provoke not your children to do
24:44
evil or to do bad things through anger, but bring them up in the nature and the
24:49
admonition, the correction of the Lord Almighty.
25:02
I one day saw something. I know it's funny, but I'm trying my
25:07
best to laugh because you see I'm standing on God's whole altar.
25:13
And I don't want God to think this is a joke. Hallelujah. Though God sees my heart, I'm already laughing. Eddie.
25:19
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So there was this small boy
25:25
whose business was going to look at women who were baffing.
25:38
Hallelujah. There is no hope.
25:48
head.
26:01
The devil able to stir it up early or late. Are you with me, church?
26:09
I was like,
26:27
Are you understand what I'm trying to say? Sometimes there are things we overlook we should not overlook. That's
26:32
what I'm trying to say. There are some things they sound very funny but we need to use that moment for a correction,
26:40
that moment for the word of God. If we can't find let's go and Google the word of God that says about that thing and
26:45
bring it to use. We are in a generation that cannot give excuse for not doing it because the kind of resources available
26:52
in our world today. Our great-grandfathers never saw it. AI, Google, we we can have we have no excuse
27:00
to fail. H tell somebody whom
27:06
Psalm 78 3:28 says and I read which we have heard and known and our fathers
27:12
have told us we will not hide them from their children or our children showing
27:19
to the generation to come the praises of the Lord and his strength and his
27:24
wonderful works that he has done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and
27:31
appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should
27:38
make them known to their children, that the generation to come might know them,
27:44
even the children which should be born, who should arise and declare them to
27:49
their children, that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the
27:55
works of God, but keep his commandments and might not be as their fathers a
28:01
stubborn and rebellious generation. A generation that that set not their heart
28:08
a right whose spirit was not steadfast with God. Hallelujah.
28:15
So the Bible says that when we teach our children about God, when we teach values
28:20
about God, when we tell our children about God, we set their hearts on the
28:26
right path so that the spirit of stiff stiff neckness, the spirit of stubbornness,
28:31
the spirit of stray array from God will not take them. We secure their
28:38
foundation for generations to come, hundreds of years and beyond to come. when we keep teaching them with biblical
28:46
revelations and truth. Deuteronomy chapter 4 the verses 8 to9
28:52
says and one nation is there so great that has the statutes and judgments so
28:58
righteous as all this law that we have received which I set before you this day. Only
29:05
take heed to thyself. only make sure to keep thy soul diligently, lest thou
29:11
forget the things which thine eyes have seen, lest they depart from thy heart
29:16
all the days of thy life, but teach them to thy sons and thy son's sons.
29:24
You tell her, you have a duty. Your duty before God is not to make money and drive covets and Lamborghinis
29:31
and fly yaches and fly uh private jets and yaches. Some of you, that's your goal. Some of you when you look at your
29:37
fridge, you go to your room right now. You put on your fridge the plane you buy in future. I said you are prepared for the luxury and the enjoyment but the
29:45
duty God is calling you to do in your forgotten. I'm not saying it's bad. So if you want to drink caviar, you want to
29:52
yeah eat caviar fish eggs. Oh, fish eggs. It's
29:58
caviar. They go and pay 3,000 for to chop fish eggs. Go to beach, kill a
30:03
fish, take the eggs, chop them. same fish eggs. It's not like that. They want the one
30:09
prepared $3,000 to chop. Some people they are busy to drink the first champagne that causes a million cities.
30:18
That's all they prepared for
30:25
the only preparation they made for their children that their children should go to Harvard College, Harvard University,
30:30
come to St. Schols. They prepared a life of good for their
30:36
children. Good without the word of God as a structure. Good without the word of
30:41
God as a measure of purpose.
30:50
Beat her and tell her the word of God says if you're a bad girl, we should beat you. Hallelujah.
30:57
The first book of Kings, the chapter 2:3-4 says, "And keep charge of the Lord." This is David. He was about to
31:04
die. He's placed Solomon as king. This is his advice to Solomon. This is what David said. He said, "And keep charge of
31:10
the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his
31:18
testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that
31:24
thou doeth, and whatsoever thou turnest thyself to do, that the Lord may
31:30
continue the word which he has spoken concerning me, saying, If your children take heed to their work, to their way,
31:38
to walk before me in truth with all thy heart and with all thy soul, they shall
31:44
not fail thee, said God, a man on the throne of Israel." David said to Sol,
31:49
said, "God has a plan. He had made a covenant to give me the throne of Israel forever into my generations. But there's
31:54
a conditionality. If the generation will still walk like I have walked after, if the generation
32:01
will do what is right as I have, God's covenant will never be broken over our
32:07
home.
32:14
Ladies and gentlemen, God's transgenerational plans are hinged on continuous obedience
32:21
from generation to generation. There's no entitlement in God. Have you noticed?
32:31
There's no entitlement. None of us is entitled in God because of
32:36
Jesus dying. We are entitled in God when we appreciate his death and are willing
32:42
to walk by his structure and instructions he has given us. Are you understanding what I'm trying to
32:48
teach church? God's generational plans that keeps on
32:55
from generation to generation hinges. It stands on our continuous obedience.
33:04
So I must obey. My children must obey God. My great grandchildren must obey God. My children must obey God for the
33:11
plan of God concerning my generation to be established.
33:18
Some of you wondered say my mother was a good man. Why did we fail in life? My father was a good man. Why did we fail in life? Why has my children become
33:24
vagabos? That's why my children become our obedience guarantees God's role in
33:30
their lives to steer them into purpose and not to misdirect but misdirect them.
33:36
So let the word of God shape. What must we do? Tell somebody what must we do?
33:42
Teach them the place and value of prayer. Teach your children the place and value
33:48
of prayer. Some of you when it's time for food,
33:54
you start eating. No, teach your children before we eat we pray. It
34:00
doesn't matter how simple that is. You know, one of the things my wife would do when she lays the table said unless your
34:07
father has come to pray, we don't eat. Sometimes sometimes I don't want to eat and the thing would make me angry. I
34:12
said why why people worry me go go go. Then my son will tell me mommy says until you have prayed we don't eat.
34:18
You think pastor is the only one doing the good work here. You're a liar. Marry matters.
34:25
And we said go and call your father come and pray over the food before we eat. She's helping me make sure that we
34:31
instill in this children the sense of prayer. We sit in the car. One of them
34:36
will say, "Dad, we have not prayed for the morning. Let's pray." Now is they remind me. I forget. They
34:41
remind me because as children they've watched us do this over and over and
34:47
over. Please I'm not here to share how good my family that's not how I'm just I have you see
34:59
preaching God's word is difficult when you use your family examples too low
35:05
when I speak so why do you bring my private life on the altar? who ask you to bring your
35:12
so the one that I will say that nobody will beat me is my own family home so forgive me church amen but you teach
35:17
your children the place of prayer when there are problems when you seem not to
35:22
have money join hands with them and pray don't do everything by magic daddy will get daddy don't don't turn them into
35:30
don't turn them to think that you are a savior and there's no Jesus let them know you draw your strength you
35:36
draw your help from a God in heaven. So when they fall into trial, they will go to that God who helped their father to
35:43
help them. Teach them to trust in God. Teach them to trust in God. Not in their strength,
35:50
not in their connection, not in their ankles, not in their brothers. Some of you, you've taught your children to trust their ankles abroad more than God.
36:00
is of teaching them to know that even the heart of the king is in the hands of God and God can move the king to be your
36:06
help or your enemy. The Bible say if a man's ways please God, he will cause his
36:11
his enemies to be at peace with him.
36:17
Teach them to make room
36:30
helping him complete. I did not know. I am grateful to God for that. Please, I'm not bragging. I said I did not know. He
36:36
never told me that they don't come. He just thought that he was wise to thank God. God has done something for him. And
36:42
I'm grateful to God for that. Are you understanding me? Some of you it is hard to even thank God. You see, you are used
36:49
to the food and the daily salary coming. So you hardly thank God for them. I'm not saying come and stand here and thank
36:54
God. But even in your own life, when was the last time you were praying and say, "God, I thank you for the salary. I thank you for the people I work with. I
37:00
thank When was the last time you were grateful for the things that look normal every day to you?
37:06
What was the last time you prayed that kind of prayer with your children or with your family?
37:12
Do not let become normal. Make room to acknowledge what God has done all the time. Teach them to
37:18
discern. Huh? Let your children understand not everybody giving you something is your
37:24
friend. Not everybody giving you a gift likes you. Not everybody smiling with you cares. Nobody tell you I love you.
37:31
Teach them. You know this a pastor Men is saying you know
37:38
you know whosoever listen if you don't know. Let me teach one one one important thing. Listen listen. Whosoever eh seems
37:45
not to like your husband but likes you is a devil. If you are married and there's somebody,
38:00
whosoever you kids like you but hate your parents or have a beef with your parents but they are cool with you, they
38:06
are devils. Remember this.
38:13
Why? You are a chip of the old block. If they cannot stand your parents, they'll never like you. It's just a pretense.
38:20
Every time they see you, who do who do you think they remember? Your parents? Because it's your parents they remember. Not listen you. They don't know you.
38:27
It's your parents they know you. And you are
39:20
God. Some of you, your children at a certain age, we are praying for God and they are dressed like they're going for
39:26
a a a live concert for MTN show. Their
39:32
heart is like this. Teach them how to comport themselves in the honor of God.
39:39
Teach them to honor God. Teach them to love all of God's creations,
39:45
big or small, white or black, blue or green. Teach them to appreciate humanity.
39:54
Teach them to be able to appreciate things and not feel entitled. When you buy them a, it's not by force they
39:59
should get a shoe. They should say thank you. How do you teach that? When daddy buys a shoe for Allan, tell Alan, "Let's
40:06
go and say thank you to daddy. Don't say that there. Teach your child.
40:13
Go and say thank you
40:32
to look good in front of your children. Your duty is to teach the child to do the right thing in life.
40:38
So when they grow they will keep that path.
40:43
Do you understand what I'm teaching as a principle? It's important you understand what I'm teaching
40:51
because in the plan and purpose of God if they lose these values they are not
40:58
ready for the great things God will use them for. They should not feel entitled
41:03
but my my father's is my father's so is my you can't be entitled.
41:09
Entitlement is dangerous. Entitlement is how politicians get into power and they feel like even when they reduce price
41:16
they doing you a favor. They forget that the job description you gave them is that they should come and rule so that you are comfortable. They forget that.
41:23
They forget the reason why you voted for them is for for them to perform. And when they when they reduce something small they think they have done you good
41:29
and everything. If if you don't praise them, you are I'm not saying don't praise your leaders. That's all I'm saying. But I'm
41:35
saying that we must understand the sense of entitlement from the sense
41:42
of appreciation. In the same way as a citizen, when you
41:47
have a good government, admit he's a good government. Don't hide behind political colors.
41:52
admit [Music] so that we now know clear what is a standard what is acceptable standard and
41:58
what is a bad standard so tomorrow when somebody is coming they know that this one they must do if I don't do this one
42:04
I'm walking a bad standard but you are pretending we have behind political colors what is good is bad for you what
42:09
is bad is still bad for you is your political color you are a dangerous person to our national development
42:15
am I making sense to somebody I know some of these sermons they are not comfortable to many people but it is good to teach it it's medicine to our
42:22
bones. Hallelujah. Teach them to fear the Lord. What does
42:28
it mean to fear God? To acknowledge God in everything they do. To know there's a role God plays in everything. And God
42:35
sees everything happening on the face of this earth. Teach them to be fair.
42:42
To be fair like
42:48
they are fair. Teach them to love truth. Finally,
42:54
invest time in them. Guys,
43:10
when you have done these, you'll be raising the next generation in the way that they should go that they may never
43:17
depart from it. Bow down your head and let us pray.
43:23
[Music] Spirit of God, I thank you and I bless
43:30
you. I give you glory for the opportunity to teach this revelation through me. I ask that you bless your
43:37
people, that you fill them with insight and glory and grace, that you cause
43:43
everything they touch to prosper, and it be well with them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
43:51
Spirit. Amen. Please take out an offering for God if
43:56
you brought your second offering.
44:03
I apologize if I offended anybody through my sermon. I have no intention to offend anybody.
44:10
I wanted the best way to bring God's word to your understanding. And I hope you
44:16
can bear with that and receive the word. Amen.
44:25
[Music]
44:41
speak over your seat by the word of grace over your life.
44:47
May this seed go and come back. Measures pressed down, shaken together and running over in Jesus' name. Amen.

something doing in the service of God and God will bless you.
46:35
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet
46:41
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forever. Amen.
46:46
The Lord bless you and keep you.
