RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD

The word of God for today much deacon. God richly bless you

deacon. Shall we be seated? I want to encourage the church this year. This year elders and deacons appreciation.

Those who can give 5 million. Please give. You must appreciate your elders and deacons. The amount of money

sometimes you people give it is disheartening. They are not plenty. Let's cherish them.

Amen. Eh this month I want everybody to target 5 million. You will get it. Trust me. If you set your heart to do

something good, God always helps you to do it. Eh don't be afraid. It's not money. Oh trust me it's not money. In

this modern Ghana 500 is not money. I tell you you ask elder he will tell you

it's not money. Sometimes you spend more than that a day. Am I lying? But the time evening comes you spend 500. You

don't know what what that money went to do but it's gone. So let us intend to give big h let us stop those intentional

small giving small giving it's it's it's not stretch yourself sometimes in giving

so God will bless you and I'm personally standing in with the elders and deacons

to pray for God's blessings over you so this year um elders and deacons uh uh

appreciation I am standing in I am standing in to raise for them amen so I

want you to prepare from Today, every member of the church, try try as much as possible to give something to honor

them. We must teach how to respect leadership in church. We should not just

if you walk with me and you're not careful, you may not see that I'm important. Am I lying? Because I don't place much importance on myself. But

that's not how heaven works. God plays a lot of importance on himself. No, nobody underrates God in heaven. Huh? It's just

my character of wanting to be normal all the time that is affecting the way I work. Eh this is how I've been

from my childhood. It's difficult to change but that doesn't mean that if you love me don't show your respect and love for me. Do you understand what I'm

trying to say? Eh so please we we must learn to honor the leaders God has given

us even if they are one even if they are two. Let's tell go we are grateful for

him. I don't know whether you don't know this but there are churches bigger than

us in number in wealth in connection in money

in influence in the nation with bigger titles of prophetic pastors bishops

asbishops but none of them can boast of the presence and favor of God like we

experience in this ministry

here is not effort you must know is if a member of this church and you still cannot see that God's hand is here then

you are blind you you are really blind there's nothing I can do for you again hallelujah

what people do to suffer in their ministries

people give and they collapse people love God there and they are destroyed

people have all night services and the rest yet they cannot sleep people people chop oil drink oil

yet they have no peace You come day and night. You go, you sleep. You are you are fit. You are

strong. You go and come. You have you have small small mosquito problems. Your problems like when do go away and then

goes away. You you are not grateful to God. Be grateful to God. Amen. It could

have been worse than this. Could have been worse than this. You could be running today to the hospital, tomorrow here.

Let's be honest. Let's be honest. Please. Before you came into this church, some of you have been in other churches before. Have you enjoyed peace?

You be honest. No matter how powerful those ministries were, have you truly enjoyed peace? One trouble after the

other, but the minute you decided to commit yourself here and give your time and energy to God, your labor has never

been in vain. Every year, every

God works. If you're a member of this church, stand by me. Don't run away and go. You have

no idea. You and I, we are working in history to build a safe place. Thank

you, Elder. We are building a safe place for the generations to come and worship someday

in life. We are setting up standards

a ministry where when we are dead and gone, children of this ministry, people who come join will find safety in God

because we have laid the right foundation. How God was it laid?

One thing about when you're obedient to him to do what he wants from the beginning, he swears a covenant with you

and the generations forever. Anybody who has ever walked with God, that's why I love my elders and begans.

Uh we should value them. You think everything that pastor is able to do all is by pastor. No, that sometimes it

takes off the cost without even telling anybody. They don't even want the church to tell anybody. some of the things we are doing. they will take the call say

pastor don't worry we'll take care of it so please value them the fact that

they're not visiting your house they're not visiting at your work doesn't mean they are not working they are working papa hallelujah so love your leaders

celebrate them respect them and value them in this ministry

hallelujah there was a time in this ministry listen there was a time in this ministry we had

a lot of people in the church but offerings and tithes were small and there are times in this ministry where

So I know that if we are even small with a good heart God can use us to do some things we have never done before.

So let us not be discouraged and look for whilst they are alive here let us celebrate them. Let us cherish them.

Amen. Who who believes what I'm saying is true is good for us. I mean

please bases and key bodies. If you don't agree with me, your hands are down. That's when you're not paying

attention in church or sleeping and they tell you, "We need those who give one billion." Your hands go up.

This this year, Hallelujah. Music department, show your

love to the others for us. Hallelujah. Give a music department. They are powerful people. Amen.

[Applause] So this is our month. This is our month of appreciating our elders and deacons.

I may not be able to speak about elders and deacons in our sermons because I am trying to use the month of August to

build our sense of righteousness before we enter into our prayer festivals in September so that we will all be at

power in the same level of authority because there are several things God wants us to do in this nation and beyond

as a church. Doesn't matter how small we are. uh the kind of glory and grace God will give the things you pray about in

next month, it will shock you. So everybody should get ready because what I see God doing, me myself, it baffles

me. So I'm sitting up, I'm preparing myself for greater grace, greater greater grace, greater things that we

will do in the coming month. So I need to work our spirits to that place where we understand what we are doing.

Hallelujah. Amen. And so I will be doing a lot of education on the elders and deacons on

our church platforms. So we will value and understand their work. So please pay

attention once more. Why? And when we put things on the church platform, read them and contribute. We are not enemies.

That's why we are not enemies. Some of you you are observers platform headings.

You check info. Watch no participation. Watch. No participation.

Hallelujah. React. React. You see it is

sometime singles for group.

But when you come to the church group that I'm in, everybody's trying to play gentle.

Hallelujah. You're always counting all the money. You are forgetting that you have those

who contribute on the church platform.

Once a week at least contribute something, share something there. You belong to different different groups. They share things for you. Enjoy there.

You don't even bring one to the church group. You don't even share memes. You don't

even share jokes.

Don't mute the church's group m never mute the church's group please the church group is important but that's why

we post things that's why these people they're so busy also have

but at least elder would try elder is traveling around Ghana or but he would try and comment something.

[Music] Oh, my one and only international star agree. You not even comment. You not

share. Share some of your business ideas you keep putting on your on your Instagram there. Share. There's no

competition on the group. Just share. Be yourself. Reflect yourself. Lydia. If

they won't put post your pictures and your name post. I give you permission. If they don't share, post.

And this one. [Laughter]

social media knows how to use social media.

[Music]

Amen. Oh,

but I want to ask some of the things we share. Are they are they inappropriate for you? Want to know

I share a lot of things that can help you a lot in your marriage life. If you don't want me there, I'll leave there. I

want mommy to create one for you and the girls alone. The other part is whenever I see something I think is good for life for

communication for a woman I share there extra advantage important share

Banker, will you start sharing something about money? Please share. Share things concerning your field of finance.

You can tell us the investment portfolios at Fidelity Bank. Well, what we can start with

some of you have small small businesses you do, don't be ashamed. Put it there.

There's money to be made. You start with the church first. They

refer you to other people. You may never listen. You may never know.

You may never know. You may never know.

Mrs. You share nothing. You just sit down, enjoy everything and then go to sleep.

It's bad. Sometimes mommy will tell me, "Daddy, mommy's worries. What's wrong with the

people?" 24 hours no reaction the whole day.

Ask questions. Ask questions. Ask anything you encountering in life. What others are

encountering? What should they do? What advice? Ask. Use the group for important. It helps you bond to know

each other. Personally, how what your problems are

that if they you need help, they can come to your aid to help you. [Music]

Look at my face if you're not angry. I beg I beg this week there. Everybody

should share something. Why? Share something. Share something about student life. Share something about you

love. Share something about something happening in schools you are afraid of.

Share your fear. Let us all join in and pray with you.

You have issues like drug addiction that is growing. drug addition drug addiction is growing

the schools now.

You can listen, you can now know that even it's entered the church some of the people when they come to church and

they're overly excited and dancing that way.

the the way now drug is normal to youth now it's not anything

but now it's fun like I don't say it it's part of everyday fun

drugs must be part of party am I lying now it's been

no no the food and drink is later the power the power to excite the people is more important now. So we have problems

in society we can't just ignore

this particular relevant things that's what the church

is for. It's not only salvation churches are supposed to solve problem society in case you don't know that is

we are partners to de development we are not there to say we are supposed

to be responsible

yes it's not buying vans and putting money in the accounts and going for priestly

conferences that's not what we we do as a church there's a lot of things government want us to do we don't do

so we can offer training and education at that everybody agree with me

so now I can preach I love you I love you all say amen

all right lift up one hand let's pray father I thank you for this opportunity I pray that you will speak through me

and that you bless your people spiritually through the word of God taught today in Jesus name amen

I want to speak on the subject right standing with God. Tell somebody right standing with God. Right standing

I am still on my uh month of righteousness. Um let's be

frank. Uh I have I have extinguished myself in the doctrine and teaching of

righteousness in this lifetime. Amen. Uh people have established themselves in

holiness, prophetic and other things. But we talk about being the nature in Christ of Jesus Christ. understanding

what righteousness is. Um, I'm the go-to man for that information. That is not a brag. That is to say that God has

committed a revelation to me. And so, please take advantage of this revelation and use it because it really works.

Amen. Amen. Everything I'm able to do in the terms of the power dynamics of God

is based on this revelations I'm teaching you. Amen. If you've heard, I've prayed for somebody, they've received healing,

somebody who nearly died. I've prayed. Everything you seen I've done is based on the power and grace of our

righteousness in Jesus Christ. Nothing else. Not I can fast more than anybody. Not that I can pray than anybody. Not because I am more powerful in nature.

But is because of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Are you with me church? So

embrace it. Tell somebody it will work for you. I want to speak on the word right standing with God. So the phrase right

standing with God refers to a correct and reconciled relationship with God.

Uh so it is not just any relationship. It is a correct relationship. That means

it has a standard. Number two, it is reconciled. You have gone away from God

till and you have returned. This relationship does not exist for anybody who has been pure and perfect

from the beginning. Jesus says whosoever is not sick does not need a doctor. Do you understand me? If you are not a

sinner, Jesus did not die for you. Am I lying? No. is pastor lying.

If you don't believe you are a sinner, Jesus didn't die for you. Go and look for your own salvation somewhere. The

Jesus we are talking about, he didn't come for you. Huh? The Bible says, "For God so loved the world." Let me rephrase

that. For God so loved the sinners that he sent his only begotten son that

whosoever among the sinners who shall believe him shall have everlasting

life. Are you with me? So Jesus says that the

one who is not sick does not need a doctor. If you believe that you are a sinner, then the only salvation for you,

the only solution for you is Jesus Christ. Though it's not fasting and prayer, it's not it's not it's not being

pure and perfect. It is going to Jesus and asking him to wash you from your

sins and to help you make you what? A living testimony to those who know you.

That is why though Paul claimed he was serving God

to the extent whereby he was a teacher in the temple and to the extent that he even went to persecute people, he had to

meet Jesus and get born again. Are you understanding me? Because until you experience this reconciliation with God,

you are not walking in righteousness. Are you with me?

Reconciled. That means that you are going to leave what you were and get back to your original plan of closeness

to God. Let's examine this if it's true. Abraham leaves what his family and generations

are used to and reconciles with God in faith. And because that he became a

righteous person as he listened to God and obeyed God. Are you with me?

So the components of righteousness is that there is a standard that standard

is that through faith uh the other thing is that we must be reconciled. We must

come from what we know forsake what we know and accept what he's offering as a

standard often understood as being justified

or declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. Let me try and explain

what is justification. In a very simple um statement that can help you is

imagine that you have been arrested by the police because this brother has made a

statement that in the night he saw somebody wearing this pinkish pinkish dress looking like you with your hair

and everything climbing over his fence to steal his property.

So he takes you to court. Then the police prosecute you that they

are sure it is you because the shoe fits, the dress fits, every other

evidence prove you are the one. Then Jesus stands up and says that it was not

her, it was me. Are you with me? Then Jesus takes up

your sin upon himself. Then pays your punishment. Pays for your

punishment. Case is closed. When the brother sees you again and

calls you thief, you have every authority to jail him or take him to

court for damages. Do you understand? Because the law of the land has just the

word please. Are you understanding me? So

yes, you were a sinner. Everybody knows you are sinners. But the blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ has

justified us. So the Bible says there's therefore no condemnation for them that

are in Christ Jesus. The minute you step out of Christ Jesus, yes, we can condemn you. But when a person comes into Christ

Jesus, the old things have passed away. Behold, all things are made.

Oh, you haven't read that scripture before. You're quiet. Hallelujah. Old things have passed away and all things

are made. Hallelujah.

So we have been declared righteous by God through our faith in his son Jesus

Christ. It signifies being acquitted from the penalty of sin and enjoying

full fellowship with God rather than achieving human perfection.

See this is why this is why people do not preach righteousness because they think it is lazy Christianity.

Are you with me? You the reason why you find most churches preach about holiness and

perfection and those things because they think that because if people have to just believe and be accepted by God,

it's too cheap, too easy. But you and I know since I've been teaching

when you understand what you are supposed to do in righteousness, you come to realize that.

But to obtain that state whereby God invites you into his kingdom on the basis of righteousness, one easily has

to believe. But that belief is not for everybody. You know though it's so people talk about it being simple and

easy. Is everybody that you tell them about Jesus Christ they can accept. Am I lying? Somebody's life depends on

Some people have to believe in Jesus Christ. Everything has been done so they can come but they can't come.

Okay. So this is what righteousness really talks about.

Christ is our standard. We need to reconcile from our sins and our past

back with God. Romans 5:12 says, "Therefore, being justified by faith, we

have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, being whom also we have

access by faith into his into this grace wherein we stand. Rejoice in hope of the

glory of God." This is Paul speaking. He said, "We have all been justified by faith." When it comes to God, there's no

justification by your effort. It's by what? Faith. Number two, he says because that justification, we are no longer

enemies with God. We are God's children. Therefore, we have peace with God. Huh?

We have peace with God. It says through our Lord Jesus Christ. This peace comes through our Lord Jesus Christ. And the

Bible said by whom also we have access to do every mighty thing Jesus Christ

can do. his grace, the power and authority of Jesus Christ. We have access through this Jesus Christ to

access the grace and the power of God wherein we stand today to rejoice in hope of God's glory.

Acts 13:39 says, "And by him all that believe are justified." By him, not so.

He said, "By him all that believe, not so." The Bible says, "For as many as

will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Conditionality accept,

believe, call, receive. Huh?

And by him all that believe are justified from all things. For from which you should not be justified by the

law of Moses. I like I like the writer. says if we talk about justification if we use the

law to justify none of us none of us will make it to heaven

the writer is saying that if is that the kind of justification you have received in Jesus Christ if it is by Moses law we

will all fail anybody who claims that he knows God

today if they were to use Moses law to justify every man on the basis of their

behavior or actions everybody will chop F9 and I

fail hopelessly. But he said we have believed in Jesus

and for that reason we have received righteousness.

Romans 3:21-25 says something but now the righteousness of God without the law

is manifested being witnessed by the law and the prophets. Paul is saying that this

righteousness we talk about which does not come by the law which the prophets testified which the prophets of God who

came kept on speaking about he speak about Jesus Christ even that righteousness has been manifested

he's speaking about Jesus Christ coming on the face of this earth even the righteousness of God which is by faith

of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe for there is no

difference You can claim you're a Jew, but until you believe Jesus, the grace of Jesus

has come unto you. You can know Moses. You can know all the prophets by heart. You can be their favorite grandchild.

But your righteousness does not come by your effort and this kind of understanding or knowing them. But it

comes through our Lord Jesus Christ. Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

For there is no difference for all. That's the part I love. 23 he said for

all. This is how God sees her. Said said for all have sin. For all have

said but you see until you a sinner you cannot be saved.

Always remember that revelation. Huh? And so

Paul said, "I am grateful that I'm a sinner. Otherwise, I would not had what? Salvation."

Hello.

So all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, being justified freely by

his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Christ was the

propitiate or propitiation offering whom God has set forth to be a propitiation

through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the remission of

sins that are passed through the forbearance of God.

Again, let me explain that part. said, "God has set Jesus Christ to be the sufficient and perfect sacrifice for

every sin. That through his blood, he would declare the righteousness of God

to all who have believed in him, forgiving their sins past

or the sins they have done through God's

standard or through God's will or through God's tolerant desire.

The narratives about God depicts his right hand as a symbol of truth and

power. The fulfillment of his will. When we talk about God's right hand, Jesus when

he was exalted was invited to sit at the right hand of the father. And on the day

of judgment, when God separates the righteous or the sheep from the goats,

he will cause the righteous to stand on his right hand.

On the day of judgment, the righteous will also stand there. Actions promised by God through his right hand are

considered irrevocable. The other way around that is conversely, his left hand represents his tolerance,

permissible will where darkness is temporarily allowed or tolerated before judgment is rendered.

So God has two hands like you have two hands. The Bible teaches us that. Mhm. So God has a right hand and a left hand.

H they all important we not saying one is not important but whenever God is serious about a matter wherever God

talks about great things they are in his right hand. The Bible said when Jesus Christ was

exalted above every other said sit at my right hand side so that I make all your enemies thy foottool. Huh?

So God will promise an oath in the Bible said by my mighty right hand I shall establish it. The minute God says

something he mentions his right hand involved

because his right hand side is his hand side of righteousness. It is his hand of

righteousness but he has a left side. And conversely

what the right is capable of doing the left does not do. How many of you can How many of you are

ambidextrous? I know there are people can do that. You are ambidextrous. You can write with your left and your right.

Huh? You can do that. Yeah. Yeah. But not all of you can do everything that the same

right hand can do with the left hand. Am I lying? Though you ambidextrous,

some of you though your ambidextrous is only in right. When it comes to tightening things, your right hand will

have more strength than your left hand. That's how God designed your body. One compliments the other. Have you noticed

that in your hands one is taller than the other? Your hands. Some people show a lot. Some people show a lot.

Your hands can't be the same. One has to be taller than the other. Why do you think that you use your left to clean your ass?

Your butt when you go to pubu. Why? Your left is longer than your right hand. You never knew.

Try cleaning your ass with your right hand and see how difficult it is. When you go home, try it. Pastor, hey, I

didn't look at. Yes. Yes. Yes. So, not everything your right does your

left can do. But in the spirit of what I'm teaching, I'm saying that God's right hand is a

very important place to be. It is for those who he has

exalted, elevated and for those who stand in in his in his honor and his grace.

Righteousness is therefore choosing to stand at the right hand side of God all your lifetime.

Remember that. Nobody said I said that. It's my quote. Listen, if you claim you want to walk in righteousness, you are

making a choice to stand in God's right hand side. You are standing there. You're going

the will of God is

good. Let's move on. The pursuit of holiness and

effort-driven godliness has not yielded an optional an optimal relationship with

God since the creation of this world. I'm saying that you can be perfect. You look, you can be perfect. You can do all

things right, never sin, and still it is not the best relationship God wants to have with you. The best relationship God

wants to have with you is a reconciled one. Huh?

Jesus asked a question. The one they asked, he says, Jesus asked a question. He said, "If a master has two servants

and one owes him more than the other and he forgives the both of them, which one of them will love

him more?" He said, "Oh, of course, the one who owes him more."

If you have tasted sin, seen how hopeless sin is. When you receive salvation, you value it. Am I right?

You value it. But a person who has never seen it before, he does not know what Christ has gone to the cross to do for

him. If you understood that you a sinner, you are guilty, you are meant to be

destroyed, you have no hope of tomorrow, and you look at the rate Jesus went to save you.

There's no turning back. Are you with me?

God chose to impart his holiness. The holiness of God is called righteousness. So never disrespect the word

righteousness. Don't think it's something light. What makes God holy is what is called righteousnessh

has given us his holiness

righteousness to us through our faith in his only begotten son Jesus Christ

righteousness is neither easy nor cheap. It is essential to note that holiness is a subordinate to righteousness and not

valued by God in the same way.

I'm not giving you a ticket to sin.

Because

you see, angels were born to be perfect. They don't need to sin. Are you

understanding me? But your holiness is not strong enough for you to command angels. It is your

righteousness that allows them to respect you and obey the things you speak and declare as a man of God.

Are you catching revelation I'm teaching this morning? is so irrespect of how holy you are, you

have no power if you don't have the righteousness of God. The power dynamics of God is not in

holiness, it's in righteousness.

Holiness may equate you to an angel, to a power, a deity, but it cannot let you

overshadow them in authority. What gives you that authority and power

is your faith in Jesus Christ that allows them to obey you and come under

your feet. And I want you to know that the devil

has set the church on a wrong agenda for many years that we may not be able to

embrace the righteousness of Jesus Christ properly so that he will still have a foothold to harm us to touch us

whenever he feels so. So you must embrace righteousness. You

must not look down on righteousness. When we say something subordinate, that means that righteousness is of higher

value to God than holiness.

Let me tell you something. Every promise of God in the Bible is for the righteous. Have you noticed there's

no promise of God for the holiness? Two things very important you must know

about holiness. The Bible says without holiness you cannot see God. Until you are perfect you cannot meet

God. Understand this. The next Bible says is that our holiness, our holiness, our

perfection, our holiness is like filthy rags before God.

But every promise possible, every authority, every power, every grace in God's word is linked to righteousness.

Please, you can do your research there. Today, there's Google. You can always do the research I'm talking about. If if it's not true, you know,

every promise, every authority of God is linked to righteousness and not holiness.

Righteousness is not walking in in our own way or walking in evil. It is

rather walking in the way of our Lord Jesus Christ. Last week, I taught you

something. I said Jesus said, "I am the way. I am the truth and the life.

The life. So you must understand we talk about the way there's a standard. So to walk in righteousness is to walk the way

Jesus walked the face of this earth. It's not to do what you please, what you like, but to walk the way Jesus walked.

First John 2:29. If you know that he's righteous, if you know that Jesus Christ is right or God is righteous, then you

know that everyone that doeth righteousness is born of him.

So the angels can only identify you as God's child as the heir of heaven and

earth by righteousness not by your holiness. No. Am I teaching you something? You are

listen. Paul said anyone who does righteousness is

identified as being born of God because God is righteous.

So what allows the deities and powers of the universe, principalities and authorities of face of this earth to not

touch you, to not include you in their diabolical and evil plans

is the righteousness of God over you.

Not having a powerful prophet as a pastor, it is not having a prayerful person as a

leader. It's not for people who can pray 24. You see, you can pray 48 hours every day and the devil can still touch you.

You must come to that mystery to understand the reason why they cannot touch you is because you are God's child. And that's the only thing because

because Bible says for for we were created a little lower than angels. A

little what? Lower. In comparison, we cannot even claim we have power over

fallen angels. We can't. But it is God who has exalted us above

them. So until God exalts you through his righteousness, that authority cannot be exercised by

you. Are you with me?

Psalm 106:3 says, "Blessed are they that keep judgment,

and he that doeth righteousness at all times." At all times, not sometimes, all times.

Romans 12:2 says, "And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind."

So it's talking about the way the minute you want to walk on righteousness, you have to understand that you are not here

to get along with the world. You are not here to identify with the standards of you are not you are not here to uh be

see not not be different, but you just want to be able to get along with everything. be be also on top. No, you

are here to stand on the right hand side of God.

So to require you readressing every situation you find yourself in according

to the standard of our Lord Jesus Christ that you may prove what is good. If you don't, you see, if you don't, the word

renew means if you don't examine it, you will not be able to prove what is good and acceptable and the perfect will of

God for that situation.

If we are going to be able to um

stand at the right hand side of God, we must walk righteously. Does somebody walk righteous?

It means go by your endeavors in righteousness. The book of first John the chapter 3:10 says in this the

children of God are manifested. This is the only way you can tell somebody who is God's property or God's child.

In this is the standard. In this is the children of God manifest.

And this is also how we can tell the children of the devil.

Have you understood that? So the devil knows what is his property.

Those who are not walking the righteousness of God, they are his property. But those who are right walking the

righteousness of God, they are God's property. They are God's children. The

Bible says that Christ was sent in due time to reconcile us to the father and

make us hes. That means

the nature of God is seen in his children. His children must be

righteous. So whoever doeth not righteousness is

not of God.

Bible plain English. Yes. Yeah. We read it all the time. We

miss it. It's plain English. Said whosoever does not do righteousness is not of God.

The Bible says neither he that loveth not his brother. You know it's right. It's righteous to

love. Not the kind of love where you love what you get to but you love the person for no reason but you love the person. You

love them for their debt, for their evil, for their weakness, but you still love them. I'm not talking about boy

girl relationship. I'm talking about love itself.

Hallelujah.

So if a political party causes you to hate others, it's of the devil. Any any

political parties always instigate in your hatred, it's the devil. It belongs to the devil. They always want you to

hate somebody. They always want to give lies and misinformation for you to hate somebody. Please, it's of the devil. You

are a righteous person. You don't walk that walk.

Are you with me? You don't love somebody because he speaks your language because

then hate somebody who doesn't speak your language. Then when you hear about immigration officers stopping people at

airports because of their skin color and people saying we are deporting because you're a black man, you are complaining in Ghana. You're doing the same.

You're also exercising hatred. And nobody can hate another person claim

that they know God. Are you with me church?

We need to tell that to the world. So that you watch some of the videos Africans who are trying to travel to the

Arabian countries caught in the border. They kill on them like animals. They beat them to death. Live video watching

these things. How human beings are being destroyed for what? To enter into a country and work. Not to steal but to

work, labor and do all the filthy jobs you wouldn't do for money that they can feed their wife and children and you

kill them. And you are justified that you have done something right. You are of the devil not of God. And any church

that supports this kind of these things does not know God either.

Tell someone love your brother. Do righteousness

else you are not a a child of God. Tell the person else you are not a child of God.

Not a child of God. So stop think everybody in the church is a child of God because they dance because they are here earlier than everybody because

that's not if they are not walking in righteousness. They are not God's property. Forsake them and go your way.

Stop being fooled by titles and those things. If those people are not walking righteousness, walk away from them. They

only mislead you. Isaiah 33:15.

Are you with me? He that walks in, who walks righteously, or he that walketh righteously, and

speaks uprightly, he that despisth the gain of oppression,

that shaketh his hands from holding bribes, that stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eye from seeing

evil, he shall dwell on high. His place of defense shall be the mountains of

rocks. Breath shall be given him. His waters shall be sure. Thine eyes shall

see the king in his beauty referring to God. And thou shall behold the land that is far off. That is you shall go to

heaven. So in Isaiah, God uses the prophet Isaiah to describe what being righteous

means. Let me you choose to walk righteously. Number two, you speak uprightly. Your

language resonates the will of heaven.

[Music]

That person is not working righteously.

form they are not speaking uprightly. Number two, when somebody tells you, oh,

they don't believe in gaining money from a bad means.

H especially when it got to do with oppressing people.

is unrighteousness. It's evil.

Are you with me?

If you're a righteous person, if you are a righteous person, you will never participate in that. Are you with me?

Righteousness means that you walk away from the gains of oppression.

Harsh money. Hash money.

He stops his ears. He doesn't participate in hearing.

This morning I saw a video and somebody was was speaking abominable things.

May God May God keep the soul of our ministers that were lost. May God

protect them. I know the God I serve is a just God and justice shall be done.

Remember to pray for the president of our nation. Join him and pray for him. So long as he sits on the throne, if the

right is not done, it affects all of us. So whether you like him, you belong to that party or not, stand with him. I saw

somebody's claiming party for destroy the president hating him say you are not a wise person. You are just filled with

hate. You have you are hating somebody for no reason. And and anything that's moving you to hate people is moving you

to be very far away from God because of the promise of what they will give you, what they will eat. You want

to instigate hatred and evil against others. You are a devil in disguise.

said that person who does the righteous things which are not these things that person will dwell on high.

His protection shall come from the rock of ages. His breath shall be given him whatever

God has planned for another person will not take away from him. His water shall be sure.

His eyes will see the glory of God and he will end up in the presence of

God in heaven. So you think God didn't have a plan of

righteousness before Jesus was born. He had a plan. First Thessalonians 5:21-22,

prove all things. Some of you when somebody tells you something because he's from your hometown, because he's

your brother, he speaks your tongue, you don't need verification. But when another person says something

who is opposite where you come from, you immediately judge.

It's like sometimes when you in some churches, every other church is a bar church. H

without verifying the word being taught. H that's how it feels like. said prove

all things hold fast that which is good. Whatever you whatever you keep people keep saying drink what is good out of it

and abstain from all appearance of evil. Anything that appears as some form of

evil some necessary evil whatever kind of evil Bible says abstain run away from

it. Am I making sense to somebody this

morning? Psalm 1 1-6 says, "Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of

the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners."

Or see,

some of you, you are good people, but the friends you have, they hate God. They can even insult God and you are,

you are their friends. And I was telling young girls and girls

if you meet a man who doesn't fear God don't let him chop what your God has given him given you as a

some of you you don't care who will sleep with you as a human being so far

the person will give you money even the person is insulting God

because

I'm being honest. I mean, it's the truth.

The council of the ungodly [Music]

or stand in the way of sinners. Show me your friend, I show your character. You all your friends, they

are papa. Don't worry. Very soon you become the fourth on papa among them.

So you can't you can't afford it. Tell somebody I can't afford it

to stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the sculph.

Some people they like to scorn people. They always want to intimidate others.

They always want to bring others down.

[Music]

Do not sit in the seat. Now you don't agree. Don't agree.

[Music] You endorse him to do more

because

Did they make you feel like

to submit to evil. When something is wrong, tell them it's wrong. When they angry, walk away from

them. Don't argue with them. Just tell the truth. Boss, I don't agree with you. And walk away. Don't give him room to

explain to you. You don't agree. You don't agree. I don't agree.

I don't think it's right. Please keep your opinion. Let me keep my opinion. Thank you.

Argument. Because Bible said, do you know something? Do you know how you tell somebody's a fool when you correct them

and they take offense? That's the Bible. I didn't say that. I said never correct a fool, he shall take

offense and hate you. When somebody says something is not correct and you correct them and

immediately they are angry, know they are fools. Next time they talk, walk away from them. I didn't insult that.

No, that's what the Bible say. I never said that. The person never correct a fool because

he will hate you and get angry.

So when people know you cannot tolerate advice, it is an indication right upon

your forehead that you are imbeile.

But the person whose delight is in the law of the Lord, a person whose heart delights in the law of the Lord

and in the law the law that he meditates day and night

and night

is centered on scripture.

He meditates on God's word day and night. He shall be like a tree planted

by the rivers of water. Hey,

talk about multiple streams of income. If you walk in righteousness, God will create a way.

God will create a way where there's no way for you. So, you shall be planted

by the rivers of water that bring forth, you shall bring forth your fruit in a

season. Your leave will never wither. whatsoever you do shall prosper.

But the ungodly, but the ungodly, the unrighteous, they are not. So, they are not part of this blessing. They shall be

like the shaft. You know why it's called shaft? When you have rice, there's a covering on rice. Some brown

hard skin be on rice. Have you seen when they remove it, they get white rice? That's chaff. Even your dog will eat it.

Some of you have never seen some before. Some of you have never seen some before. Or you know you go and buy your perfume rice and you chop. Some of you have

never seen how they mail rice. Hallelujah. But it's called shaft. Hh.

Hallelujah. So you shall be like the shaft which the wind drives away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in judgment.

Last week I taught you something about the judgment of God. establishing the will of God in every situation that you

find yourself in. That is judgment. So many Christians are so uneducated,

ignorant

Hello.

Don't misconrue Jesus's word. Said feed your enemy. So what are you feeding them? Feed them the word of God. Feed

them good things. Please finish him because you see the

apple will never fall far from a tree. Him and his generation will cut to destroy you later tomorrow. Some of the

times God give you people authority to finish things in your in your home. But you spare certain people for no reason.

It's okay if you want to make sure that these people are the people. But when you find out, make the declared statement in the spirit.

Whosoever is responsible for my setbacks, may the Lord deal mercilessly without

mercy for that person. Declare it. Stop acting holier than holier.

God judges and brings an end to evil. So in the nature and likeness of Jesus

Christ, when things are beyond saving as evil, judge it.

Are you with me? When you receive authority or power in

the physical, you don't allow things that will destroy you to roam freely and destroy you tomorrow and then come back to God and complain. You forget you are

the one in charge of this earth. When he came, he he gave the earth to man. You

are in charge today. You are playing cat and monkey shadow with your enemy

because you don't understand your one of your work as a Christian is to judge

to allow the will of God to be done on the face of this earth.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. It is not God's will

that the enemy that evil people should enjoy in this earth and let righteous people suffer. Never. It's not the will

of God. So stop allowing the devil to impose his own standards in this life we live in.

The word, the power of Bible said the power of life and death is in your tongue. God has given you everything to turn the situations around to favor the

righteous in the land. So do it. What? Don't go and fight anybody physical.

Stand in your room and speak. It will happen. It's not going to happen.

The ungodly are not so, but they are like the shaft which the wind drives away. Therefore, the ungodly shall not

stand in judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous,

but the way of the ungodly is perishing. So do not spare your enemies just

because they are enemies. They chose to make your themselves your enemies. Let them suffer unto. The word suffering is

defined by mentioning their name. That fool that believes is possible to

stand against your destiny and cause in this life. Every word of every power in

God's word, enact it in prayer against them and leave the rest to God to handle

because God is a just God. God will look at their heart and God knows they hate you. They cannot stand you. The minute

they see you, the minute you type something, they get angry. Good for them. They've set their own traps for life. You didn't set it for them. They

set it on their own self. They made their own choices because they chose to stand in the place of the ungodly.

I always say this.

Some of you are not careful. The Bible said that before Christ came the priests who served in the temple when they are

going they put a chain in their leg in case anything they have done in the past God and God kills them nobody go and

pick their body they'll drag the person out.

So there are some things as a Christian you don't encourage.

You speak against it. If they don't understand you doesn't mean that it is okay to submit to them.

Just speak the truth. Leave them be. See they've not seen righteousness before. So they see it as something

wrong. You know if Jesus was alive today, everybody will hate him.

Huh? Do you know if Jesus was alive, everybody will hate him? They won't like him.

The Bible said that Pontious Pilot put the people he put Jesus in front of the people said choose should I let this man

go or Barabas go? They said cruc the people we keep we keep we keep blaming

the Pharisees and the people said that kill him crucify him because the people

didn't want to become enemies of the high priest and the sahindrin they chose to stand in the counsel of the ungodly

are you with me said this man has committed no sin I am judge I'm telling you this man has

committed no sin if I kill him his blood will be upon your hands not upon my hands I am washing my hands in public to

prove that I found this man. He said, "Don't worry. Let his blood be upon us and upon our children." No wonder when

Jesus died. The siege of Jerusalem came and everyone who lived in that time apart from the

righteous that God saved was killed and destroyed.

The historian Joseph said that he had never seen he's a Jewish historian not a Christian historian said he has never

seen such accuracy prophecy fulfilled. how these men declared these things and did not know that judgment was hanging

over them when they said that and exactly that happened before any of them

could die and pass away that judgment came upon them you must know the god you serve who he

is don't don't involve yourself in stupidities of the world as if it's a

normal standard you must belong to otherwise you would suffer they want you to suffer make sure they are grand

generations there every labor Every money they make will fall into a pocket that has a hole.

They they want to fool with you. Give them the fullness of the Give them the fullness of your understanding of power.

Please, please. There are too many Christians allowing evil to have a field day

and you come back and you cry.

Who said that God wants to be involved in this when he wants you to judge the situation on your terms?

So anytime you pray complaining, please don't complain. Complain to yourself. You are the reason. Me and you, we are

the reason why the world is like this. Because we never establish the will of God on the face of this earth. You are

laboring. You are giving up obedience to God. But you are allowing your destiny to be determined by evil people on the

face of the earth and you are complaining to God and God is what's your problem? I g you all the power the authority to be like me on the face of

this to command things that are not in your favor to your favor but you are not doing it.

Proverbs 14:34 says righteousness exalts a nationh

If you're a nation and you don't think that gay marriage affects your economic

country, doesn't affect you economically, you are not serious. Why? Me and this woman are having

children. We are paying tax today. The government is borrowing tax that my

children come and pay. But the government is spending that tax money to make the gay person more

comfortable and happy. Who will not procreate and create children to sustain that same nation? How can that be a very

good plan? I want to know. You can go and say I'm intolerant. I don't like you

can say all those things. I have no problem. But in the physical practical economic sense, does it make sense?

It makes no economic sense to believe in gay marriages.

Number two, it makes no societal sense. Society thrives on our human ability to

progress by procreation. Are you understanding me? If it was only you, two men alone, you'll be lonely. If

another man dies, there's no hope of our society growing again. So you claiming that this is the right

of everybody doesn't make physical sense in the society. It doesn't promote gender happiness or or anything in the

society. It only is a law intended by the devil disguised as tolerance that

would lead to the destruction of your society and population. Look at this as it is.

life is a matter of choices. I don't believe in abusing or beating

anybody. I don't believe in physical violence or insulting or or or or anything of anybody. But I tell you the

truth. You don't like, fine. I've told you the truth. That one you don't like, I understand. It's your will. It's your choice you have made.

But if you work evil against me, I will not sit silent.

Don't don't confuse Christianity for that. Hallelujah. It's not the two are not the same.

Bible says sin is a reproach. Sin brings down every people. Any people sin

destroys you. Why should we allow homosexuality?

Because the people feel like doing what they want with their body. But when somebody's going to do drugs, we say stop him. Are they also doing with their

body what they like? Now what kind of law seems not have a fair representation for everybody? Am I

understanding some of these things properly or or because I'm a and I'm dumb. Are you understanding what I'm trying to

say? They force us not to think, not to reason. They want to force us all to accept something and not reason it out

because the truth is that their ways are ungodly without reason.

So if you read, you become a threat to what they hope to establish

Psalm 119 172 and it reads, "My tongue shall speak

of thy word, for all thy commandments are righteous.

Does love your neighbor? Love your If you want to be a right walking right, you have to love thy

neighbor. So who's thy neighbor in this room? Who's your who's your

neighbor? Oh, the next person, some of them are black, some of them are fair, some of

them you like them. Some of the people when you see they want them to sit by you. Some of them sit by you. They are amped nuisent you don't like in the tro

they are your neighbor I making sense to somebody they not be your tribes man they not be anything but

they are your neighbor love thy neighbor in righteousness you love your neighbor in righteousness you tithe you don't go

and say t is old testament you don't say those things you tithe you see anything that's a commandment that you can find

yourself to obey God you enjoy it doing it because what that is what righteousness is listen when Abraham

when when when Mechisedc appeared to Abraham said I'm coming for a tithe God had never told Abraham about Titan.

Abraham didn't Abraham didn't question who which God are you talking about? Which God is the same God who brought me

from Mesopotamia. Abraham didn't go into the mysteries and the connections. Abraham found said he

said the God you serve who took you to that war asked you to come. He said don't worry let the men who went with me take their own. As of mine take all.

That man was paying tithe for generations to come. He was paying them all at once. when he found opportunity to obey God, there was no excuse.

There's no explanation. The man sought to obey God. I'm not saying any any pastor comes and

tell you God says you give to you give. That's not what I'm saying. I'm referring to established commandments. Now,

give honor to the servants of God. It includes your pastor. It includes your

elders. It includes your deacons. Include their wives.

Love them. Honor them. It is a good practice in righteousness.

You are not selective. You like pastor David but you don't like

see anybody committed to serving God. It's because of God's work process prospers on earth. So those who bless

and prosper them. God will help them. A lot of Christians they are selective of even men of God. They are selective

of ministries and churches. They think that is righteousness.

So they look down upon you if you're their age group. You are their friend or their classmate. They look down upon you. If you don't talk the way they want

you to talk, they don't like you. Don't they don't like you. They beat you all to submit. Even when you're doing what

is true, they can't identify with you because the thing is not comfortable for them.

Tell somebody Christian, this is not a comfortable thing to have. To be a Christian isn't comfortable.

Sweet Wigglesworth says something. He's a mighty miracle worker. That is what he said about righteousness. To hunger and

test at the righteousness is when nothing in the world can fascinate us so much as being near God.

Some of you all it takes is the promotion. You are willing to bend every rule to get it.

Some of you all it takes is the visa. You you break you will kill your fellow

brother and take it and go. this mighty miracle worker who was a

plumber's an English plumber was a plumber fixing people's toilets and stuff and God called him and he's saying

this he said that when we talk about righteousness is a hunger and a thirst to be near God you want to do things

that doesn't take you away from the presence of God every day Matthew 6 and3 says that seek ye first

the kingdom the power of God and his righteousness and all other things shall be added to

you. Your focus should not be the other things. Your focus should be the power and the righteousness of our God.

Then everything you desire will fall in line in time.

Matthew 5:6 says, "Blessed are they which do hunger and test after righteousness, for they shall be

filled." Until you find righteousness as important and desirous to pursue it, you

cannot obtain it. The book of Acts 4:12 says, "Neither is

there salvation in any other." Neither is there salvation none other

under heaven, a name given among men to be saved than Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 says, Jesus said unto him, I am the way. I am the truth and the life.

No one comes, no one, no man comes to the father but by me.

Ladies and gentlemen, as I close the sermon this morning, I have brought to your attention things

that are required of you. The righteousness isn't just doing everything you claim you want or like,

but it's making sure that you walk rightly according to the standard of our Lord Jesus Christ

and to honor and do the principles of

God and the judgments of God in every situation you find yourself. Bow down

your head and let us pray.

When you come to a church like Favor Chapel International, everything is planned to help you achieve

righteousness before you walk through the door. Prayer time. We talk about forgiveness

of sin, washing of the blood, things that matters to your cleansing

takes place. declaration to prayer, the invitation of the power of the

kingdom of God which is the Holy Spirit. All is done through prayer and then we we bring to God a worship

and praise offering. And then when we are done, we give an

offering to God as the Bible declares. And then we do a very important thing,

the declaration of righteousness.

The favor creed. The Bible says with a heart the mouth

with a heart the heart with a with a heart we believe with a mouth confession made unto righteousness. I don't know

how many of you are even taught taught for once to look at favor creed carefully and understand what we declare

there before the word is sown in your righteous heart.

We've helped you through systematic structure

to declare your stance in righteousness. So the seed sown in you is not in vain.

And we say there's a not a church like us. It is not bragging. It is truth.

Everything is carefully thought out not to please you but to please the heart of

God. So when you follow in line and submit to

that leading, the sermon would mean more to you than any sermon you have heard

and will work in you better than any medicine you will take.

I want you to make one decision today. that is that I'm going to try my best

to stand at the right hand side of God.

That I'll order my steps. I would I would allow the counsel and

the aid of the Holy Spirit to help me stand at the right hand side of God in

everything I do. I'll pursue right standing with God.

Make that decision. When you've made that decision, brother, sister, auntie, mommy, brother,

ask God to help you through his Holy Spirit. Does any man needs wisdom? Let him ask

of the Lord who giveth freely and I not. Help me, oh Lord,

to stand rightly by you, to speak uprightly

and to walk in righteousness, which I know is your will. In the name

of your only begotten Jesus Christ, I ask. Amen.

I've been blessed the Lord by this morning. I don't know about you, but I am grateful I came to church.

And I know the things I've heard today, they will affect my life differently.

Take out your second offering and let us bless the name of the Lord.

If you have not yet been a member of this church, we encourage you to join our ministry.

We are church raising generations full of the Holy Spirit, a people obedient to God and having a

passion to do good works. Become a member.

Grow spiritually. Learn how to offer service in excellence to God.

Walk in righteousness.

Father, I thank you. I bless you for this seed in our hands.

As your word says, it is better to obey than to sacrifice. in obedience, in giving towards your

work to prosper on the face of this earth. Let this money go and come back.

Measures pressed down, shaken together, and running over in Jesus' name. Amen.

and keep you. Make his face shine upon you. Be

gracious to you. The Lord turn his

face towards you and give

you peace. [Music]

day and our pillar of fire by night. May the Lord cause his angels to encamp

around all out of our dwelling places. May he keep evil May he keep disgrace,

shame, death, police issues, troubles, sickness, disease and anything evil out

of our camp. May his presence sustain us. May his

power help us. May his spirit enable us.

May the Lord cause a table to be laid before us in the presence of our

enemies. May the Lord our God who is and who was

and is to come be our fortress and strong tower, our

battle and present help in times of need. May he take us home safely to

endeavor all our activities and bring us back again safely into his presence a

week today full of blessings and testimonies of his goodness and kindness

in Jesus name. In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.

Amen. [Music]
