Transcript: Christians or Converts Part 2 - Kingdom Values

Listen to this message

Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

Just like a soldier, going to battle, Garrett himself with every armor needed for battle and for winning. So believers must guard themselves with the gospel of peace, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. Join apostle Emmanuel as he teaches God's word to equip you for a victorious life on earth. This is Believer's Equip. We have been able to establish that we are in a kingdom and that God is king. I don't want to do a recap. Just go and listen to the teaching because I'm continuing right from where I stopped. Now that we have been able to establish that, we must understand, and I've also been able to establish the difference between a convert and a Christian. Now that the discipleship model of a Christian begins from his understanding of what the original intention of God is in his... And that is kingdom.

And if you don't know anything about kingdom, know this one truth, that God is king. And because he's king, it means that his word is irrefutable, uncontestable, infallible, doesn't change his word. And when your opinion stands side by side with the word of God, it is yours that must bow because you are in a kingdom. And where the word of the king is, there is power. You remember this? Yeah. And we spoke about how there are several opinions right now in the world. Governing a lot of people and that you don't have an opinion until you know the opinion of the king. Doesn't matter how intelligent you are. Doesn't matter the subject being discussed.

The opinion of the king is the final say. So you must always learn to submit your will and your mind and your logic and your senses to what the word of God says. Or for those of you who are science students, particularly learning medicine, even as they teach you some things, you must understand that the opinion of the king is still superior to whatever it is that they teach you. There is no such thing in us. It has no cure. Because your opinion of the king is different, you see. And this must be strong in your mentality. Otherwise, you would so learn that the knowledge of God begins to seep out of your mind, of your soul, that you teach yourself how to truth. Thank you, Lord Jesus. So having this foundation, we must now understand the two major components of kingdom living that would determine whether or not you fail or you succeed in this wise.

The first is kingdom values. And the second is kingdom exploits. And these two are inseparable. Because your values will determine your exploits, and your exploits will reveal your values. Who understood what I've just said? May the Lord grant you understanding. Amen. Number one, kingdom values. We begin with values. Kingdom values.

What is a value? Remember that we are speaking about who a Christian is. Do you still remember this? Yes, sir. And we are trying to define that according to the kingdom standard. Hence, the title understanding the kingdom standard. And we are trying to use two major indices of kingdom living, even though there are more, to try to explain what it expected as a Christian in comparison to just being a convert. And in those two components of kingdom living, we're beginning with kingdom values. Is this understood? I'm trying to draw a line so that you can see the connection of what we are discussing.

What is a value? A value is a deeply held nonnegotiable conviction that governs your choices, your actions, and your reactions. It is what you will not trade no matter the pressure. Proverbs chapter 23 verse 23. The bible says, buy the truth and do not what? Sell it. Also, wisdom and instruction and understanding. Values are the truths that you have bought, that you have refused to sell. Wisdom you have bought, you have refused to sell. Instruction you have bought, you have refused to sell.

Understanding you have bought, you have refused to sell. It is a principle or a standard that you hold to be true, that you hold to be important, that you hold to be nonnegotiable regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the pressure, regardless of the consequences. A value is what you esteem, what you treasure, what you consider to be of such worth that you will order your life around it. A value is the eternal compass that guides your decisions, that shapes your behavior. It defines your character. Your values are not what you say that you believe. Your values are what you actually live by when no one is watching you. Your values are what you live by when it cost you something. It is what you live by when it will be easier for you to compromise than to live by it. That is what your value is.

If you say that you are a believer, you say that you are committed to purity, but then you are alone with someone that you are attracted to, and then you are in a situation where no one will never know if anything happens, and the opportunity is right there in front of you. What you do in that moment reveals your true value. If you compromise, then purity was just a nice idea that you had. Holiness was just a nice idea in your head. It was never really your value. Pleasure or perhaps even the fear of losing that person is what you actually value. You might talk big, but value is revealed under pressure. It is when you need to make decisions that count, that truly show what your values are. You came to church and you were taught that the will of God is the safest place a man can be. And now having heard this, you say, oh, wow.

I value the will of God for my life. I want to live by your will, oh God. And then you say you want to where God wants you to be. I begin to say these beautiful things. You even sing it as songs. But then you'll get two job offers. One will pay you very well, but will pull you away from fellowship. It will pull you away from ministry. It will pull you away from spiritual accountability. The other will pay you less, but it keeps you in an environment where you can grow.

You can grow spiritually. You can mature and be formed till you reach the point where God wants to send you out and launch you out. Which one do you take? Because your choice at that point will reveal your value. If you take money, then money, not the will of God is what you value. In other words, if the opportunity has not revealed itself, you really have not known what you actually value. Are you with me? You say that you value kingdom advancement. You say you want to see the gospel spread. You want to be a kingdom man.

You want to be a kingdom financier. But then you have money in your hand. Maybe it is your salary. Maybe it is a gift. Maybe it is some kind of money. Maybe it's profit from your business. You can invest it in something that advances the kingdom of God. You can give towards a kingdom project. You can give to God in his house, or you can spend it on something that just makes you look good, that just makes you feel good. The choice is yours, but what you do with that money in that moment reveals your true value.

Let me give you a simple way to test what your real values are right now. All you need to do is look at three things. Your values are not in the things you confess with your mouth. I'm not even in the things that you declare. I'm not even in the things that you agree with. There are three measures you can look at right now to gauge yourself and to estimate what your values are in the moment. Look at your time. What did I call it? What do you spend most of your time doing? That is what you truly value.

It means if I spend most of my time on social media and then complain at the end of the day that I have no time to pray, what do I value? Is the problem that I don't have time to pray? Is the problem that I don't have time to furnish my spiritual life? No. The problem is that I have no value whatsoever. Even though I know about prayer, it is only religious language that I know. Even though I know about bible reading, it is only religious language that I know. What you spend your time doing reveals areas in which you have... You place value. You say you value God.

The rich show in the time spent committing to God. If you value your academics, the rich show in the time spent committing to your academics. If you value your destiny, your purpose, your assignment, does it show in the time spent committing to it? It shows you the reason why a lot of believers are irresponsible and are not making progress in life because we are more solical than we are spiritual. We are more driven by our feelings and our emotions than we are spiritual. And a lot of us pay the price for it years from now when the repercussions of our divisions begin to harden up. Because in the moment, you never can tell. In the moment, it looks as though an hour gone is an hour gone. It is the accumulated compound interest that shows you the folio of your divisions. That's the reason why the bible did there is a way that seemed right.

Because in the moment, it doesn't seem wrong. You don't understand anything? That way... Let let me not go ahead of myself. Number two, your money. What do you spend most of your money on? That is what you value. Show me your bank statement for the last three months, and I will show you your values. Not what you claim, what you actually treasure. You will claim to want to be a kingdom financier, But you would rather hold the money than give it.

You will come to church. The bible says honor the lord your god with your substance. But you come to church and they say it is time for offerings. And the most ridiculous note is what you want to give to god as an offering. You have 1,220 naira. You take the 20 naira. He said, this is my offering. Yet what we are doing, the bible called it honor. And you begin to wonder, no one got had to come and tell those priests, if I am your father, where is my honor? Because I cannot see honor in how you treat me.

If I am your father, where is my honor? If this thing is done in... These people were asking, in what way have we despised your name? How would you be saying we have despised you? How would you be saying we have dishonored you? These are very strong allegations. We are doing what we are supposed to do. I mean, we bring the offerings to God on Sundays. How would you say we are not doing all of these things? In what way, I will despise you.

Give me the next verse. Look at what God says. You offer give me an LT. One, two, three. Go. Does it say you defile them by bringing those sacrifices? What does it say? By saying that the author of the Lord deserves no respect. In other words, the sacrifice is brought but without honor. There is.

Give me the next verse. Watch this. It says, one, two, three, go. Am I the one who said it? Who does the bible said said it? You need to go and check everywhere the bible uses the word lord of hosts in scripture. And one connect what happens when that manifestation appears. I've done that teaching before. In a prayer convocation. You need to go and check what happens when that dimension appears.

And go and stop it. Go and listen to the message. You'll find out that it is when God is about to break out in warfare to ensure a man's prosperity. That is when he arises as lord of hosts. And it is that God that is saying that why have you dishonored me by... With your sacrifices? So how would you say that I value God? I value God. And the value I have on God cannot be seen in my giving, but I cannot give the best there is to him. Many of us, these are inherited values, actually.

Because it was what we saw growing up. So we inherited them. And we have no care in the world what the bible says or what the king has declared. But this is the king speaking. And I've told you that only the opinion of the king matters. That's why I started the way I started so that you have a foundation from whence to believe what I'm telling you. So that I'm speaking, your opinions might try to fight what I'm saying. But as long as I'm not the one who is saying it, I am justified. You understand what I'm teaching you? Yes, sir.

And number three, a reflection of what your real values are. You know your real values by the choices you make under pressure. What did I say? When you have to choose between what is right and what is easy. Because many a times what is right might be hard. Where you have to choose between what is costly and what is convenient. When you have to choose between what is God's way and what is your way, what do you choose? Because your choices reveal your value. That's the reason why the kingdom of God has a very specific, clearly defined value system. And these values are not suggestions.

This is why I started by showing you the king. The value systems of the kingdom are not cultural preferences that shift from one generation to the next generation, from one region to the next region. That's not what the value system of God is. The value systems of God are eternal in nature. They are consistent throughout time. It doesn't matter what existed in 1990 and what exists now in 2025. It doesn't matter. In the nineteen fifties, the western culture said that it was shameful for a woman to wear a bikini. By the nineteen eighties, bikinis became normal, then it was shameful to be too conservative. Just years before, it was shameful to be on the beginning.

It was modest to be conservative. Few years after, it was shameful to be conservative and stylish to be on the beginning. By the year twenty twenties, culture now celebrates sexual expressions in ways that will scandalize both dispensations because of the diversities of sexual perversion that you see in this generation right now. Why? Because culture keeps on shifting. What was acceptable yesterday is outdated today. What is celebrated today can be condemned tomorrow. Culture keeps on shifting. But the bible says in first Thessalonians chapter four from verse three to verse four in the new living translation, it says God's will for you is to be holy. Plus, 2019, do you think that this would have changed?

You are not getting the history, I'm saying. In the nineteen fifties, what was God's will for you? In 1980, what was God's will for you? In 2025, what is God's will for you? 2019, what will be God's will for you? Go on with it. How many? One. Does it say with respect to shifting dispensations? With respect to shifting cultures?

So when we have this conversation, it should be, you know, we are not in that time anymore. Look at the next verse. Read together one two three. Go. This was true in the time of Moses. It was true in the time of Jesus. It was true in the time of Paul. It is true now. It will still be true in 2019. Sexual purity before marriage and faithfulness with marriage is a kingdom value that does not shift with fashion.

It doesn't shift with culture. It doesn't shift with generation. It doesn't shift with public opinion. Are you with me? Yes, sir. In the nineteen sixties, western culture said that men should be masculine and women should be feminine. And there were only two genders. In the twenty twenties, western culture says gender is fluid. There are multiple genders, and you can choose your identity. And the culture has completely reversed itself in one generation and gone against itself in another.

But Genesis one twenty seven is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The bible says, so God created Adam. God created man in his own image. In the image of God, he created he, him, male and female, he created them. Male, not male, female, and 50 other options. Not assigned at birth, not to be discovered later. Male and female, this is a kingdom value established at creation, affirmed throughout scripture. And it does not change because a generation finds it offensive. It does not change because a generation finds it inconvenient. It doesn't change because a generation finds it uneasy to talk about.

I am not in that generation. If you ask for my opinion, I am very loud about my opinion. Thank you, Lord Jesus. In many cultures in the eighteen hundreds, arranged marriages where they norm, and marrying for love was considered to be a foolish thing to do. Any of our parent did not marry for love. These things were arranged marriages. In the eighteen hundreds, in fact, it was even believed that marriages should be beneficial to the families and not to the people marrying. You marry for the sake of the future of your city, where you come from, your family, and if you do not make that choice, you are castigated and ostracized to be one who does not love his kingsmen. Are you with me? Yes, sir.

In the western culture in the nineteen fifties, divorce was scandalous. Divorce was rare. You're believed to be an infidel if you have a reason to divorce. In the nineteen eighties, divorce became common. It became accepted. It became something that we can live with. Divorce even without cause. In the twenty twenties, same sex marriage is legal. It is celebrated in many nations. And you'll find out that culture keeps on defining what marriage is and who can marry and when marriage can end as culture continues to advance.

But Matthew chapter 19 from verse four to verse six, the bible says, and he answered and said to them, have you not read that he made them at the beginning made them that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female. He who made them at the beginning made them what? Male. I can derive an argument from this alone. Well, let's continue. Verse five. One, two, three, go. Next verse. Read that last part again. Read it again.

One man, one woman, one covenant for life. That is the kingdom value. It has not changed. It will not change. And no cultural shift, no legislation, no popular vote can alter what God has established. Thank you, Lord Jesus. In the early nineteen hundreds, western culture valued hard work. And they so valued it to the point that people were working six days a week. And rest was considered to be a sin. But if you found a man who was not working to provide for his family, he was an outcast.

He was an anomaly. Men was considered a dignified thing to labor. There was a class of people they called the working class or the laborers or the working men. And this was something people did in dignity. Are you with me? By the 1970, the culture had shifted to work life balance. And in 2020 now, there is a generation of people who are quiet quitting, putting in minimal effort, and carrying this degenerated idea that their employers hold them comfort and flexibility without requiring any kind of full commitment. So much so, if someone is required to put in the required amount of work to get himself some money at the end of work. He begins to put in all kinds of excuses, calling him sick when he's not sick, sleeping at work, and then complaining at the end of the day that they are overworking them. I begin to wonder what exactly is the definition of overworking?

Where becomes a burden for the average young man? Totally work for what they would eat. But in Colossians chapter three and verse 23, bible says, whatever you do, pause. Don't go too fast. If you go too fast, you would miss the word whatever. Who can define whatever for me? Anything that you do. Everything that you do. You get a job as an employee. You start a business.

You're employed in the company to work. You're a worker servant in church. You're a student. You're a club member. You get posted to a place to serve. You're an employer of labor. You're a government employee working with the government. A contract worker, whatever you do, do it how? Has to be. Good.

And not to. So the question is, if you were carrying the consciousness that what you are doing is as unto the Lord, will you do it the way you are doing it now? If your academics was asked unto the Lord, if your studies was asked unto the Lord, did he say do it as unto your feelings? As unto how you feel in the moment. I'm just tired today. Do it as unto that. Give me 24. Knowing that one, go. In anything that you do, he says you are serving Christ. In other words, everything that you do is service to the Lord Jesus.

Everything, whatever you do. Imagine that a believer has this as a value that he lives by. Not as unto your feelings as unto the Lord. Walk with all your heart as unto the Lord. Not as unto what is convenient for you. Not as unto what your generation thinks is fair. As unto the Lord. This value was true when Paul wrote it first to slaves in the first century. It is still true for employees in the twenty first century. It is true for business people.

It is true for student. It is true for anybody who will ever read this. It will still be true many, many years to come as long as Jesus has not returned. This will remain true. How about the culture of honoring authority? Many years ago, children were taught to honor their elders, and the honor was absolute honor. Don't question authority. Show extreme difference when speaking to authority. But that created an extreme because there were side effects in those children because they were silenced from birth. So as a correction, the western culture now came and started encouraging children to challenge authority, to arrest their parents if their parents offend them, to call the cops on their parent.

You can ask for the sanity of your parent, but eventually they are attempting to correct you. Junior, don't sit down there. Mom, are you okay? I don't dare do nothing. You know, I used to watch American movies those days when I was young. And it kind of fashioned my thinking in a sense. You know, I wasn't really used to... I didn't really like all these Yoruba movies growing up. So you see me watching a lot of American movies, lot of Hollywood movies growing up. And I started seeing a culture and was wondering why my life is so different from theirs.

And I was thinking what kind of lifestyle is this? I mean, why can't I speak up like that? You know there was a time when it wasn't so. Do you think that you were the one that brought forth respect? You know, we think that respect is not a western thing. It's a cultural thing. So we think that when we get to the western world, we should not show any form of respect because it's a cultural thing. See, when you get out there, they don't do all of these things there. Well, where is the word respect from? Where's the word sir from?

Where's the word ma from? You go check the foundation of the English culture. The English culture that colonized us. And you would find intense moral manners, dignity, and sense of courage that follows everything that they do. That is not even my business because even that can be eroded with time. My business is what does the bible say? Does the bible not have any opinion on this thing? Because now you go and check degradation in families, and you will see the effect of both of these extremes there. Some cultures swing towards blind obedience. Others swing towards rebellious autonomy.

And the culture keeps shifting on how authority should be honored. Is there not a say on scriptures for godly parenting, for child rearing? The bible says to train your children in the way you should grow. And when it grows, it will not depart from it. We quote that scripture so much, but none of us have actually sat down to ask the question, what is the way he should go? Because the bible says train him in the way he should go. The bible never says train him in your own way. The bible never says train him how you were trained. The bible never says train him how you were brought up. Train him in the way he should go.

Not even in the way you want him to go. In the way he should go. When he grows up, he will not depart from that way because he had the privilege of receiving light right from a young age. Oh, blessed are my seed. Blessed are my seed. Blessed are my seed for they will change nations. For they will shake the world. For they will turn the world upside down. Blessed are my seed for the things I knew late, they will know very early. Blessed are my seed for they will sit down with teachers of the law.

At a trough and ask questions on theology. Because a lot of us did not have that privilege. And a lot of the erosion of value and erosion of conviction that you see in this generation actually came because there was failure in the home front. Because the home front is supposed to be the first defense against the erosion or the corrosion of values in society. The home front is meant to be the first defense. And if it fails in the home front, the second defense was meant to be education. Especially western education. But you cannot even trust that right now because they see that has even failed totally. Totally. The only hope right now is the church.

The only hope for everything is the church. That's why it is lack of wisdom to fight the church. It's lack of wisdom to wonder why industries are not being built, why churches are being built. Ah, it's foolishness. You must really be dumb. Not spiritually, all wise. To think that it is more valuable to have built a factory or a warehouse. Logically speaking, I'm not speaking no matter spiritually. Logically, you are dumb. It is true.

And when you get your values from culture, you have to understand that culture is always shifting. Culture is always changing. Culture says, this is what most people are doing right now. Let's do it. Kingdom says, this is what God has said from the beginning. Culture says, this is what makes sense in our own time. Kingdom says, this is what God's word declares for all time. Culture says, we've evolved. We've evolved past all of these things we are seeing right now. Kingdom says heaven and earth will pass away, but not a jot of my words will pass away.

We don't involve past the word of God. The word of God needs no modification. It is true yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Culture will ask you, what does the majority believe? Because that is what the majority believe that is true. The kingdom will ask you, what does the king decreed? What does the king declared? Then you would find out that many a times, majority is wrong. You heard that saying, majority is always right. If it were true, we run a democracy.

We should not be where we are. Majority is... I don't know who came up with that with that quote or whatever it is. That's so unwise. Majority is always wise for you. The fact that they are majority already puts them at a disadvantage. Always... Ah. It is because they've not shotgun there before where you are working. You will now see the folio of majority because no...

You might even need to shoot gun. One person doesn't need to run. Then you will now see majority. One person just needs to start running. I was in UI from time ago, many years ago. And I was coming... I stay in Agogo somewhere. I used to stay there. I had a house somewhere there, and I was living to my house, walking and prayer walking, listening to messages. All of a sudden from the UI gate, I was already approaching the UI gate.

Preacher working, already leaving that queen's side. Working down. And all of a sudden, I see everybody, security, Adefele, the the bus people, the car people, the the... Then they used to use bikes in UI. The bike people, there was no tricycles. The bike people, including the market women in Ado. They left their... Pepe left their shops, left their businesses, and started running like mad men. Everybody. And I was the only one who was walking forward.

Because why are you running? And I walked and I said, ah, Hario, Hario, Hario. And the funny thing was, listen, I heard the first person. I was trying to decode what is happening as I was going because I was being careful even as I was walking. I was just... I removed my earpiece. I was trying to pick out what they were saying, and then I heard, what is it? What is it? What is one left. They are shooting guns.

They're shooting guns. That one left. Another one came. Was running again, and started shouting. What a parallel one? What a parallel one? They've killed themselves. They've killed themselves. I said, okay. Alright.

I was still going. Another one was shouting. It's not a gun. It's not a gun. It's a cutlass. Listen. Listen. And I was walk... And everybody... Nobody knew why they were running.

By the time I got to Agogo Junction, the new plate was clear. There's nobody there. You could easily pick Pepe and go home. There there was nobody there. I'm not saying I did that anyways, but you could easily pick Pepe pepper and go. I saw ban... And I like bananas. I saw banana, plantain, onions with nobody there. I wanted to climb the bike. Couldn't get a bike.

Bags men were there with bikes that they started. Keys are still there. And then you tell me majority is always right. Majority move in direction of the flow. It is easy to deceive majority, easy to light majority, easy to confuse majority. One fool can rise up and control majority. Majority will follow a confident idiot. I have a teaching on this. Oh. Majority is always right.

Majority is always right. As a TikTok trend came some time ago, and I and I heard about this. I heard about it, and people were being dead to taking soap. One person tried it and said, nothing happened to him. Majority. Majority. You know how many people landed in hospitals? Another one came out. Very simple. We just harem bottles as walls and climb on the top of it.

Majority. Majority will follow any confident idiot who is just confident enough to say, guys, this is the new trend. Majority. That is even the flaw of democracy. The fact that majority carries the vote. Majority don't have sense. That's the reason why majority have to be led. If you leave majority alone to choose their leader, they will choose an animal. Majority. All you need to do is think about Nigeria, and you will laugh at that.

You will laugh every time you hear majority. Just laugh again and again and again and again. Someone came out, said this man of God slept with me. Majority. Came out three years after. He said, I'm sorry. It was a lie. I was paid too. Now I'm sick. My mother is sick.

Everybody is sick. Man of God, we apologize. Pray for us. Midority kept quiet. And they already kept mute. And you see a believer, a believer who has scriptures, who has the holy ghost, who are... Who has the conscience that is in the kingdom is also moving with majority. If they are cutting their head, they will cut your head. Have you not found that our majority don't prosper? You have never heard about the eight twenty principle.

The Pareto principle, which I completely agree with, by the way. You go study about it, and you would see a lot of the majority. And why I'm never a part of the masses, I reject it. Have you not seen... Go and check a thousand shall fall. 10,000 shall fall. One shall chase a thousand. Is one man moving? God's idea was never that you'll be a part of majority, was never that you'll be a part of the masses. You say, ah, there's mass failure.

How come you saw yourself among them? It means you're a part of the masses. I'm not a part of the masses. I'm not a part of the masses. Thank you Lord Jesus. So young brother goes to go and start reading a business book. This is this is five reasons why you should not start a business. It says ninety percent of businesses fail in the first five months. Sixty percent fail in the first one year. Forty, and then it goes on like that.

It goes on like that. It goes on like that. And then the guy says, how do know that statistics are calculated by majority? It is true. Statistics are always calculated by majority. If I'm not a part of them, that means that statistics does not apply to me. It doesn't mean that the statistics is not fact or it's not true. It just means that it doesn't apply to me because I don't see myself as a of the majority. I'm not a part of the rat race. Not competing with anybody.

These are values that I've not only believed. These are values that I've eaten deep into my spirit. Because life has tested it. Life has tested it. Everything the devil can use, he has used. And the values remain the same. Are you with me? Culture changes in every generation, and culture changes every generation. What was acceptable to your grandparents is outdated to your parents. What is celebrated by your generation will be mocked by the next generation.

Fashion changes, music changes, language changes, technology changes, social norms changes, political positions change, moral boundaries shift. What was shameful becomes celebrated. What was celebrated becomes condemned. But kingdom values do not shift. Kingdom values do not evolve. They do not adjust to fit the times. What God called holy in Genesis is still cause holy revelation. What God caused sin in Leviticus is still cause sins in Romans. What God honored in the Old Testament is still honors in the New Testament. The standards do not change because the king does not change.

Malachi three and verse six, the Bible says, for I am the Lord. I do not change. Hebrews 13 verse eight affirms this. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The value systems of the kingdom are eternal. They are unchanging. They are nonnegotiable. These are standards rooted in the very nature and the character of God himself. The value system of the kingdom is found in the word of God. It is revealed in scripture.

It is modeled in the life of Jesus Christ, and it is enforced in the holy spirit in the life of every believer who submits the lordship of the spirit. Romans 12 verse two says, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that holy, what is that good and acceptable and the perfect will of God. Don't be conformed to this world. Don't allow the value systems of this world to shape you, to mold you, to squeeze you into its pattern. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, by the word of God, by allowing the values of the kingdom as revealed in scripture to replace the values you absorbed from culture, to replace the values you absorbed from media, from educational systems, from your peers, from your own falling logic. Every believer must have values that uphold their lives. Every believer, without values, you are like a sheep without an ankle. You are blown away by every wind drifting wherever the currents take you. Without values, you have no standard by which to make decisions. No foundation on which to stand when pressure comes.

No framework for navigating the complexities of life. Without values, you are like a dead man living. Proverbs 39 verse 18, the bible says, where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraints. But happy is he who keeps the law. Where there is no revelation, where there is no clear vision, no guiding principle, no established value, the people cast off restraints. You see what that means? It means they do whatever feels right. Nothing holds them accountable. They cast off restraints. They live according to impulse.

They follow their appetites. They make decisions based on emotion, on convenience, on what everyone else is doing, or whatever makes them happy. But the bible says happy is he who keeps the law, who has a standard, who has a value system rooted in the word of God, who lives by principle rather than by feelings. Happy is that man. Happy is that man. A student wakes up in the morning, and the first question he asked himself is how do I feel today? Oh, I'm tired. So he skips class. Decides to sleep all day. Watches a few movie here and there.

The assignment is due, but he feels like hanging out with his friends instead. So he copies somebody else's work. The exam is hard, so he feels anxious, and so he cheats. He feels attracted to someone, so he sleeps with them. He feels offended by a classmate, so he gossips. He feels broke, so he steals. And if he feels motivated, he studies. If he feels tired, he sleeps. If his friends invite him out and he feels like going, he goes. If the material feels hard to him, he skips it.

If the deadline feels far away, he procrastinates. He has no standard whatsoever. He has no principle guiding his life. Just impulses, just emotions, just whatever is convenient for him in the moment. And whenever the result comes out and he fails, then he's confused. He's frustrated. He's wondering, why is that nothing ever works out for me? And then somehow, all that are to blame. Somehow, demons are to blame. But there's another student who has established value.

And the... That guides his life or her life is academic excellence. Hey. She has a study schedule. She has hours that she has set for reading. Hours she has set for revision. Hours she has set for practice. When she feels tired, she studies anyway because her schedule says study. When our friends invite her out during our study time, she declines the invite because our principle is stronger than our impulse. Even when the material is difficult, she pushes through because her standard is excellence.

Her standard is not comfort. When the result comes out and she excels, she's happy. She's fulfilled. She's reaping the reward of excellence. What is the difference between these two students? One lived by feelings. One lived by impulse. One lived by emotions. One lived by convenience in the now. Whereas the other lived by principle.

One cast off restraints. The other kept the law. One lived as though there was nobody guarding his life and there was no consequences for action. So he does what he feels like doing in the moment. As though those who succeed do what they do because they like doing it. You know that is the delusion that the lazy man has. And then he comes to come and asks a man who he finds reading. How do you enjoy reading? Who told you that that is the case? Because the one who does well, you think he's happy because he has to wake up by 4AM every morning and keep to a particular schedule every day.

It is because his value is stronger than his feelings. His value is stronger than his emotions. His value is stronger than how he feels in the moment. Last week, teaching believers equip on Tuesday, not on Sunday, Thought on Monday. And then I had work. Did the work I had to do, Monday. Came here on Tuesday. Had another teaching on Monday that I had. That with the work that I was doing, then prepared for my teachings on the night and prayed. I came on Tuesday again.

He had work in the morning till afternoon. Came here for church, preached till the time we finished, left this place, but how would a few people till around ten? Went back to another meeting. To a few people who are waiting for me, and we're there till 04:30. By 04:30, I was in my car on my way to Lagos. I was in Lagos in the office by seven. By seven to four hours in Lagos. Ended my car back, I'm going to Ibadan again for another meter. And then you see somebody and you look at them from afar, you say, hey. These these people are just so lucky.

And there are times that the angels are holding themselves from slapping you. Because if what is upon them comes on you for one moment, you would die. In the midst of this, I have to pray. I have to read. I have to study. I have to be diligent. I have to improve myself in the marketplace. Improve myself spiritually. Is it because I like to do it? What deludes you to think that people are great?

Get it mistakenly. And you know when we want to ridicule greatness, know what we do? We then say nobody is really successful. They inherited it from their parents. Are they the only ones who inherited wealth? Are there not many people who have inherited the same wealth and squandered it? It means if somebody inherited wealth and sustained it, they know something you don't know. And if you don't know what they know, if that same word is given to you, you will squander it in ten years, and you will go back to how you were. The story is a fool. One live by feeling.

The other live by principle. The young man says he wants to honor God, but he has no established value around sexual purity. So when he's alone with his girlfriend and the opportunity presents itself, he does whatever feels right in the moment. When he's online late at night and the temptation to watch pornography comes, he follows his appetite. When his friends are talking about their sexual exploits and pressuring him to be a man, be a man, he makes decisions based on what everybody else is doing. He has no standard. He has no restraint. He has no internal compass whatsoever. And over time becomes enslaved to lust, trapped in secrecy, unable to break free. His relationships are shallow.

His conscience is sick. His spiritual life is powerless. There are women like that. But every division they make is as influenced by others. Because there is no standard whatsoever in their life. No line you would not cross. No truth you will not sell. No matter how much price was offered. No matter how much pleasure is the price. I have seen people consider.

They just consider because lecturer told them that if I don't touch you, you will fail. Then they begin to consider it. And the very fact by this entering into your considerations already showed you that at some point your values were eroded. Do you know that values eliminate some prayer points from your life? Because value in itself is clarity. Value in and of itself is clarity. And when there is value when there is value, there is clarity. That's why the bible called it revelation. Because revelation that you have in the word and from what God has said is what actually produces value inside of you. And there are things you will never pray about because you have value.

Because you have value. Truth you will never sell no matter what the price is. The price sometimes can be your happiness. If you do this thing, will be happy, but it's not right. Truth, you will not sell regardless of the price. If you move this way, you will be happy, but it's not right. And do you know that? You receive your salary. You have no budget whatsoever. No financial plan.

No established value around stewardship. You spend based on emotion, based on convenience. You see something you want to buy online, you just buy it like that. Your friends invite you to an outing that you cannot afford, but because you want to form, you are there. It means value is missing. You you don't have value. You are everywhere, and you are everything to all men. Whereas, you think that you are like apostle Paul except for the fact that Paul did not lose himself. He said that I might gain some. They have gained you.

And yet you say you are becoming poor. You say Jesus dined with sinners. That's the reason why you are dining with sinners. I saw him. He was not a preacher, a music minister who released a song with a secular artist, and people were disappointed. And he said, that's bipolar with Christians. You are judgmental. You are judgmental. If we don't do these things, how do we reach out to them? Because Jesus died with sinners.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. When I saw it, his defense was intellectual, just unwise, and unscriptural. Because Jesus dined with sinners, but didn't give them microphone to preach. So why must you reach them by giving them your platform? Because I want to reach them, I didn't give them... I must not do a song with you because I want to reach them. Values. We have no values anymore. We have no idea what is sacred anymore. And I'm not against it, by the way, because in a sense, music is heart.

And a believer can do secular music. That's what he wants to do. What a believer should not do is canal music. A believer can... Secular music. A believer can sing about love. A believer can sing about peace in Nigeria. A believer can sing about... The national anthem is is secular music. I hope you know.

There's several other songs Can be secular without any sense of profanity inside of it. No glorification of things that are demonic. The question when you listen to secular music is who inspired it? Because whoever inspired it will determine the atmosphere that is generated when you listen to it because it can be secular and demonic. Even though it is talking about love, you'll having hatred in your inside. And a believer can sing a song about heartbreak and the peace that comes by the holy spirit. When you listen, your heart is healed. You listen to another one, you'd enter into depression and condemnation and hatred. It shows you what sourced the song. To continue to listen is to plunge yourself into a vacuum of demonic tormentation or torment.

That's not my teaching today. And the fact that you can even listen to such things shows that you have no value is still the same thing. It's still a lack of value. Still a lack of value. You have a devotion. I'm talking about a complete devotion. It is inside your phone. You have a special playlist. And the moment you are freezing to, you will pray, you will pray. If you don't pray, Satan will make mess of you.

The next song that comes immediately after. What do think I will say it? If you're generous and one day you give, if you're stressed another day you don't give because it depends on how you feel. You feel as though you should just eat, and you take what you know that is not normal for a human being to eat. And you put it in your front and you consume under the guise of I am feeling stressed. By the end of the month, all your money is gone, and you are in debt. You cannot tight. You cannot save. You cannot invest. And you wonder why you're always broke, why you're always struggling, why you're always anxious.

And if several believers understand this thing that I'm teaching, you'll realize that life is not so difficult. You are the one that have complicated life by choosing to live by what has no compass, what has no direction. Do you realize that the soul, your emotions have no compass? The emotions have no direction. Have you not noticed that if you live by your emotions, some of you will marry 35 men. Some of you, that woman, by the way, will learn from you. If you live... I met a sister of mine in this church. Every week, she comes to meet me for counseling. It was another crush that has come.

Yes, sir. I'm having a crush. I noticed that the time that I crushed ceased was when she had had a crush on all the guys and there was no guy again. So God had to ensure that there's no guy again. How to go and meet God? How will you stop men? These are... We need men in this ministry. But a sister, a sister's life is about to be crushed. Absolutely no values.

Absolutely no values. Zero values is why you are going on the road. And then as long as it has a certain figure, it is attractive to you. Doesn't matter what type of person he is. His personality is the least thing you consider. It's a proof that you have no value. You are a valueless individual. Valueless. I'm trying to be nice. I'm telling you.

It's a very deep struggle, but I'm trying. No values. A couple begins to date, and they said they love God and they have established no boundaries whatsoever. No clear values as to how they will conduct their relationship. So they do whatever feels right. When they feel like spending the whole night together alone, when they feel like being physically intimate, they go as far as their emotions can take them under the guise of also marry. When they feel like prioritizing each other over God, over church, over ministry, they do because they have no restraint. They have no standard. Those feelings and convenience is what is guiding them. And over time, that relationship becomes toxic.

There's manipulation, there's jealousy, there's compromise, There's sexual sin. And they end up being hurt, being broken. Further from God than they were when they started with God. A young man gets a job and he has no established values around work ethic. So his performance in that work is based on how he feels. If he's like working hard, he works hard. If he's like ghosting and just floating in the air, then he does the bare minimum. If he feels like calling in sick when he's not sick, he does. He feels like cutting corners, he does. There's no principle whatsoever guiding him.

Just convenience, just impulse. That's what he can get away with. When time comes, his reputation will suffer. He will lose that job. His career is stagnated. He's passed over for promotions. And, eventually, they will sack him, and he'll wonder. And when they sack him, he will blame everybody except himself. He will blame the system. He will blame the boss.

He will blame the economy. But the problem was his lack of values. The problem was that you feel as though it is the time you want to do a work, you will do it. Because you have convinced yourself to believe that you work best on that pressure. It is two hours before the time to deliver is the time you will start working on it because that's when your creative juices flow. Instead of rebuking whoever caused that creative juices. Makes you an irresponsible fellow because you have no value whatsoever. You know, I employed some people to work with me, and I'm paying them. It would interest you that I gave the individual an assignment to go and do. One of them, a task to go and do.

And for two months, the person did not reach back to me. This is somebody I'm in... I employed. I said go and do this. The person expects that I'm the one that will be calling and be saying, come, how about what I gave you? Hey. Hey. How about what I gave you? Hey. You have not done the thing I gave you.

At the end of one month, I realized that the individual was valueless to me, useless to me. Because what I thought you would help me do and relieve my stress for which I would pay you, I ended up having to do by myself. So what is the point of you? That's exactly why people lose jobs. And it is because the individual has no value with respect to work. Respect to work. Are you with me brothers and sisters? A life without value is a life that is void of direction. You wake up in the morning, you question what do I feel like doing? Instead of what does my purpose require of me to do today?

What do I feel like doing? You make decisions based on your mood instead of your assignment. You follow your appetite instead of your vision. You do what is easy instead of what is right. And over time, your life becomes a series of regrets, missed opportunities, and consequences that you never intended. But if you build your life on the word of God, that life is a life built on clarity, built on power. You don't live by how you feel. You live by what you know. You don't make decisions based on what is convinced. You make decisions based on your conviction.

And you don't follow the crowd, you follow the king. There's a difference between what I know and what I feel. And when destiny is concerned, it is what I know that choices flow from, never how I'm feeling. Because I've told you how you feel has no boundaries. You can feel a thousand things at the same time. Doesn't mean that any of them is right. Doesn't mean any of them is the way you should go. The question is what do you know? What did God tell you? Because if destiny comes and you have not solidified what you know in your spirit and you get to the junction point of destiny where destiny altering decisions are made.

I promise you, you will miss it. Because in such moment, it is too it is too late to even pray. You know why? Because there are several voices speaking to you. Several. What you know is speaking to you. What you feel is speaking to you. And do you know that what you feel will many a times be louder than what you know? Because it's more real to you. If I pinch you, you feel it.

You'll respond. Is that not so? It's more real. What you feel is more real to you because what you know is invincible. You think that the bible that says that we don't look at what is sin. Look at the things that are not seen. So my question to you is, which one do you think is easier for you to see? The one that is sin or the one that is unseen? Let me tell you why. It's because you are more common than you are spiritual.

And in your journey of building spirituality, you have to build strong convictions on what you know and build values around it, Very strong values that this is the truth I will sell it not. This is what God has told me about my life. This is scripture. This is the word of God. This is revelation. I will sell it not. Buy the truth, sell it not. Buy the truth and sell it not. These things have become values to me. I give for a living.

I give recklessly. You know, I can't explain the foolishness in how I give. You can't understand it. You can't get it. It is something that has become a lifestyle and a value. I've chosen not to sell it in my life. You can't convince me otherwise. You can't convince me otherwise. Major events coming up in front of me, and I'm giving like a madman. Where in the world does that make sense?

These are truths we have bought. They have used... They have refused to sell. He said, buy wisdom, sell it not. Buy instruction, sell it not. It means we can give you instruction, and you will choose to sell it. You will choose to check. That's the reason why instruction does not benefit everybody. The bible says there is wisdom to be desired in the dwelling of the wise, but fools spendeth it up. Don't have penitential questions.

God. Psalm one one nine verse one six five, the bible says, great peace have those who love your law. Great peace have those who do what? And nothing causes them to stumble. Great peace have those who love your law. Not stress, not confusion, not anxiety. Peace Because you have a standard. You have a value system. You have the word of God as your guide, and that word will never fail you. The bible says if the word of God have become your guide, peace is your experience.

It means if I have sorrow, it means that I have not chosen the word of God. I've not chosen the will of the Lord. Sorrow is a revelation of misplaced divisions. When multiple voices are speaking to you in the junction point of destiny where life altering decisions are made. That a man wants to choose God but choose his flesh. The book of Mark. The bible says when that man came to Jesus and asked him, good master, what must I do? The bible says Jesus looked at him and loved him. Looked at him and loved him. And from a standpoint of love, Jesus told him, sell everything that you have and give it to the poor.

I like the fact that the Bible says Jesus looked at him and loved him. The word love, there's the word in the Greek. Unconditional. Perfect love. And looking at him, Jesus said, brother, you want to pick destiny, but you want to pick flesh too. Doesn't work that way. But you are the one that came on. You came to me. And your heart desire is to follow. Your heart desire is to learn of me.

And sell everything that you have. Give it to the poor. When you have done all of this, then follow me. Hi. This statement came from love. Love. For God so loved the world. That love is where this... Go on. Sell everything you have and follow me.

You can't follow me and hold on to this. Your emotions cannot rule you and follow me. I see that lust has taken hold of your of your soul. Get rid of that. Let your soul beat for me. Follow me. Look at the next verse. The Bible says, but he was sad at this word and went away sorrowful. No wonder the Bible says great peace are with those who love your law. Great peace have those who love your law.

He went away sorrowful. That's that. That's the danger of emotions. This is Jesus oh, and the man say, ah, what is money? And Jesus is saying, this is the real thing. And there are people like that, they are emotion led. And let me tell you this, the source of your value determines the quality of your life. We end on this note. If your values come from the world, cosmos, then your life will reflect the world. Instability of the world, the compromise of the world, the confusion, and the emptiness in the world.

This is what your life will reflect. If your values come from the word of God, your life will reflect kingdom, the order of the kingdom, the purpose of the kingdom, the power of the kingdom, the fruitfulness of the kingdom. Psalm one one nine verse one zero five declared that your word is a lamp to my feet, a light to my path. Let me show you something critical here. When you see people who compromise, you have to understand that compromise is what happens when you no longer have a fixed standard. When you no longer hold anything to be absolutely true or absolutely binding, the result is compromise. One day you see a believer speak like a believer. Another day, you act like an unbeliever. One relationship enters your life and all your so called convictions disappear. Why?

Because those convictions were never values. They were just borrowed languages you were using, not internalized truth. Compromise is when you know what the bible says, but you adjust it to fit your own circumstance. Compromise is when you believe in the principle, but you make an exception for yourself. Maybe it does not apply to me. Compromise is when you agree with the standard, but you delay your obedience until it becomes more convenient for you. Even though it will never be. So you see a young woman, before she enter the relationship, she's in church every Sunday. She's singing, I surrender all to Jesus. She's posting on her social media platform.

Posting scriptures, talking about purity, waiting on God for a God fearing man, not being unequally yoked with unbelievers quoting second Corinthians chapter six verse 14. Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers. What fellowship does righteousness have with lawlessness? What communion life with darkness? And everyone thinks that this woman must be so strong, so grounded, so unshakable. Look at how powerful she must be. And then the moment a man comes into her life, he's charming, he's successful, he treats her well. But does he know God? Doesn't go to church, has no spiritual life, but she likes him. She's attracted to him.

She doesn't want to lose him. So slowly, what happens is that our conditions start disappearing. The person that used to post scripture before does not want to post scripture again because she does not want to seem too religious. And she stops going to midweek services. She say, I don't like all this too much. Spirituality is not good. And she starts compromising physically. They're not going all the way, so it's still fine. Then she stops going to church altogether. Now go whenever he's ready to come with me.

Why? Because her convictions were never really values. They were just borrowed languages. She said the right things because that's what believers are supposed to say, not because she believes it. It's because it's expected of you as a believer to speak that way. So you speak like one, but don't act like one. So when pressure comes, when it has to cost you something, when you have to choose between what you want and what your soul desires and the word of God, you choose what your soul desires. Why? Because you never internalize truth at any point in time. You know what the word of God says, but you adjust it to fit your circumstances.

She believes in the principle of being unequally yoked too. Came to her turn. Then she made an exception for herself. Maybe it does not apply to me. Maybe I can save him. Maybe I can get him born again. That's the mode of compromise. It is the erosion of conviction. Subtly, the things you believe and you hold dear, visions you have seen, even for your life, start washing away little by little. Little by little.

This is what the bible says in James one twenty two. The bible give a very strict warning. It says, be doers of the world and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves because you think you are spiritual because you know the word. You think you are strong because you can quote it. But knowing is not the same as obeying. Hearing is not the same as doing. And if your life does not match your language, you have no values, you have hypocrisy. That's how compromise starts. Just small small adjustments. Just small small adjustments.

Just these ones. Just in this situation. Just till things get better. Proverbs five twenty two. The bible says, his own iniquities entrap the wicked man, and he's caught in the courts of his own sin. Because what you compromise on today will track you tomorrow. What you excuse today will enslave you tomorrow. One day you will wake up and realize you have become so far from God, far from your purpose, far from the life that you are called to live. You would wonder how you got into this quagmire or because you never really had values. Only borrowed words.

Only things you said because believers say it. When they were singing Satan, do your works. It was in the thrill of the emotion that you were joining them to sing. The realm of the spirit is watching you. Brother, you sure what you're saying? You are still trying to protect your own good angels around your life because you are still maturing, my brother. Say, don't do your worst. He finds another brother there holding a pillar. Do your worst. Do your worst.

Do your worst. I'm not passionate enough. Satan, do your worst. Satan does not even... Because God loves him too much to even allow the prayer to be answered. Just a few circumstances and situation will just come. The guy, he has gone. Like paper to wear. That's gone. All those fake tissue paper.

What do you want? Has no stature, has no weight in the spirit. But he was speaking like us. He was talking like us. When we're declaring, he was declaring with us. Looks dangerous like us. When life came and life life has no... Life is a merciless a merciless examiner. Merciless examiner. You don't know how compromise...

Compromise will come and say, did God really say? That thing that you heard, that thing, are you sure that it's not like this? That's how he came in the garden. He's still the same way it comes now. What if did was compromise? And the whole idea is did that... Okay. Now watch this. Watch this. Watch this.

God told you to stay in Ibadan. But what if it didn't mean Ibadan? What if it meant the worst? So you see now that God did not release. God is the one that said he will prosper me now. And this is an opportunity in Lagos. I mean, this is an opportunity in this place, in that place. I mean, what what... God is not out of confusion. He said he will gather our parts into peace and prosperity.

So God cannot bear, and then the guy is saying, yes. Yes. Yes. Do you realize that there is nobody who enters Sodom whose plan was to go into Sodom? Because the forefathers who ended up in Sodom did not also intend to enter Sodom. They got there and they found that the place was beautiful from afar. So they pitched their tent. They started on the journey. When they got there, they found iniquity in Sodom. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

They found iniquity in Sodom, and they realized that, ah, this place, we cannot enter. It goes against everything we believe. The bible says they pitched their tent outside Sodom. They never went inside. When Lot got there, Lot was outside doing business, flourishing. But that's where everybody starts from, Outside solar. Just near. Just near. Never needs to be inside. Never needs to be too deep inside.

Never needs to be too close inside. Hey. I'm not doing it, but they are my friends. And we go there. It's just a party now. We just go there together. Everybody starts outside until conviction start becoming eroded. Because when the angel would come and pick lots, it was no longer outside Sodom. It was now at the very center of Sodom that Lot was. The question I have for Lot is this, when you found out that Sodom was not as you thought, what stopped you from going back?

And saying, Abraham, I missed it somewhere. It shows you that when a man misses God, there are time when pride enters deep in his heart. Pride and shame destroys a man faster. Isn't this the reason why Judas killed himself? Did Peter not deny Jesus? Why didn't he kill himself? Jesus still came back to the one that denied him and said, lovest thou me above these things? The one that denied you three times. Jesus did not even give Jesus any chance. The guy just pulled up on his neck and hung himself.

Shame in realizing that you fodder for your flesh. The question is, that money, what was your plan for it? What did you want to do it and buy? 30 pieces of silver. Do you know what some of you have never considered before in your life? What some of you have never considered before was that the guy that spoke up when a lady came to come and break alabaster box before the feet of Jesus and said, this thing would have been better spent to the poor than coming to come and waste it here as though he cared so much about the poor the one that sold Jesus for money. So when he was speaking, was it about the poor? Was he speaking because he cared so much about the poor? You don't understand. Let me not see.

I will leave it to go on this break to explain to you. Some of you might see it. Some of you might not. Judges chapter one verse 25. The Bible says, in those days, there was no king in Israel. Watch this. In those days, there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. There was no king. There was no central authority.

There was no standard. What was the consequence? Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Every man became his own king. Every man became his own lawgiver. Every man became his own standard of truth. What was the result? Chaos, immorality, violence, destruction. The entire book of touches is a chronicle of the consequences of living without values, without a standard, without the rule of the king. This is exactly what we see happening in our generation.

Proverbs 14 verse 12. There is a way that seemeth right to a man. It's a dangerous thing. That's why the bible says buy this thing and don't sell it. If you find it, keep it close to your heart. Let no one steal it from you. Purpose in your heart like Daniel did that these are my values. I will sell it not. The bible says Daniel proposed in his heart. Purpose in your heart like the three Abraham men did.

I will not define myself for nonsense. Purpose in your heart that I may give... Write these things down in a book, and these are my values. These are the things I will never sell. They are not the opinions of men. They are the words of a king to me. These values will govern my life. It will govern my ministry. It will govern my business. It will govern my relationship with other people.

With the opposite sex, it will govern. Why am I careless in my emotions? Why does my soul fall for everybody? Victim of rape, victim of... I must now be the victim of everything. It began as a victim of rape. Now I'm a victim of my own foolishness because I have no values. Sell my body off cheap for people. As a business person, a man of integrity. Can you pray a prayer and say, God, help me?

Help me. Help I know the way seems right, but I don't want to walk that way. I don't want to walk that way. I refuse to walk the way that seems right. I refuse to walk the way that seems right. I walk your way for the bible said I am the way, the truth, and the life. That is the way that I walk, not the way that seems right. Can you make one prayer in one minute? Make one prayer in one minute. I receive the strength of heart.

The fortitude of the spirit. The strength of heart. Be strong in the Lord. The Bible says. There's strength in my spirit. I will stand to my convictions. Where there's been an erosion. Holy ghost, help me. Help me. Come to my head.

Deliver me. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. You, Lord. Strength Thank in Lord. I am strengthened with strength in the inner man. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. With strength in my inner mouth. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
