Transcript: The Glory of Young Men

Listen to this message

Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

This message is from believers equipped, a meeting organized by the Disciples Christian Network where the word of God is taught with practicality and believers are raised to reign in life. Join apostle Emmanuel as he walks us through the word of God. Thank you, Jesus. In Jesus' name we have prayed. There's just this burden in my heart. And I sense strongly that God will be doing certain things in this place tonight. Proverbs chapter 20 and verse 29. The Bible says the glory of young men is their strength. And the splendor of old men is their gray head. The glory of young men is their strength and the splendor of old men.

Is their gray head. Today, I'm gonna talk or exalt our hearts on something that I've titled the glory of young men. The glory of young men. Please be expectant. And please listen with your heart. Listen with your spirit. It's not gonna be a teaching. It's gonna be an exhortation. It's gonna be a charge. I just feel the need to strengthen our hearts, encourage as the spirit gives utterance.

Is that okay? The word glory then is the Hebrew word. What glory there is Hebrew word. In scriptures, there are some words used for glory. It's kabod. There is doxa. But the word used to describe glory here is the word Tifara. It's not kabod. It's not doxa. It's the word Tifara.

It's a very strange word in the Hebrew, and it means splendor. It means honor. It means beauty or the excellence of something. Let me come again. It means splendor. It is important that you note what it means. It means splendor. If you're writing down, write it down. It means splendor. It means honor.

It means beauty or the excellence of something. Are you with me? Splendor, honor, beauty, excellence. So this means if you replace the word glory with the meaning of these words in the Hebrew, what you would have is the splendor of young men is where? The honor of young men is where? The beauty of young men is where? The excellence of young men is where? The honor of the youth, the beauty of the youth, the excellence of the youth, the bible says, is in their strength. In other words, the glory that your life will demonstrate is revealed in your strength. And the bible says, as a youth, as a young man, you have all it takes for your life to be glorious because you have strength, because you have strength.

This is amazing to know that as long as a young man has strength, that man has the potential for a glorious life. Did you see that? As long as a young man has strength, that man has the potential for a beautiful life. As long as a young man has strength, that man has the potential for honor in this life, for excellence in this life. The amount of glory, the amount of splendor, the amount of honor, the amount of excellence that your life demonstrate is with respect to the strength that you have. That the strength the young man has is the secret to a life of splendor. The strength the young man has is the secret to a life of glory. So when you see a young man expressing strength, he's setting himself up for glory. He's setting himself up for honor. He's setting himself up.

Are you with me? Yes, sir. That the young man had an advantage that the old man does not have. And the advantage of the young man is that he's... He has strength. He has strength. It takes strength for your life to express glory, for your life to express some level of honor. The word glory there is also used to describe riches. That word is also used to describe riches. It also used to describe wealth.

In the book of second Chronicles chapter three and verse six, the bible says, and he decorated the house with precious stones of beauty. And the gold was gold from Havim. The word beauty is the same word used for glory. Are you with me? The same word used for glory in the Hebrew, is the word used for beauty. So when you see beauty in the life of a man... So when the bible says that build... The glory of the young man, it also means the beauty of the young man. Do you understand what I'm saying? They are the same words used.

And beauty here is not beauty in terms of spirituality. It is beauty in terms of how much ornament, how much gold was available to make the man's life beautiful. Are you with me? Even in the book of Esther. Esther chapter one verse four. The Bible says, when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty. Do you see that? The riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty. The word is also what describes excellent, glorious, Tifara. And so when you see the word Tifara use, it describes riches.

It describes beauty. It describes glory. It describes honor. It describes wealth, prosperity. And the bible says that all of this is in the strength of the young man. The ability of the young man to express strength. The ability of the young man to express strength. That means if you will be great in this life, if you'll be successful in this life, if you'll be prosperous in this life, if your life would attract some level of splendor, if your life would attract some level of honor, there is strength to be dispensed. There is strength to be what now? To be dispensed.

And if a young man is found to lack strength... So it means one of the ways that the devil gets to people is not necessarily to take away honor and beauty and riches and wealth from their lives. It is... It takes away strength. Because he knows that if I make a young man lack strength, then I have made him automatically lack glory. He no longer has what it takes to bring himself to wealth, to honor, to splendor, to increase. If I can make a young man devoid of strength, if I can make a young man devoid of energy, devoid of strength, and this strength is divided into three. There is a spiritual strength the young man must have. There is the physical strength the young man must have, and there is the mental strength a young man must have. And everything that a young man becomes in life and in destiny is with respect to how much he's able to apply himself in life, in ministry, and in the marketplace.

Do you know that to start something from scratch and to grow it up to become something great, to grow it up to become something remarkable, something that the whole world will later come and admire, to later come and cherish. It takes strength. It takes spiritual strength. It takes mental strength. It takes even a level of emotional strength. Because there are times as you go on in life and destiny, you will find many disappointments. You will find many situations in your life that if you do not have courage, especially the strength of heart and the conviction to go on and to press on, you have already hindered yourself even before you it. A lot of people give up in life and destiny because strength is missing. A lot of people fail in life and destiny because strength is missing. They do not have what it takes to press on into the prophecy that God has ordained for them, into the future that God have ordained for them.

And so they have this idea of a bright future. They have this idea of a glorious destiny. They have this idea of this is what God has said I would become. These are the promises that God has spoken to me. But that all these things that you have seen, if there is glory in them, if there is honor in them, if there is splendor in them, you would have... If there is riches in them, if there is wealth in them, if there is beauty in them, you'd have to apply yourself. Apply yourself and deploy your strength for these things to find expression. Can you say with me, I'm strengthened? Can you say with me again, I'm strengthened? I'm strengthened.

Do you believe this? Yes, sir. Say with me again, I'm strengthened. I'm strengthened. Spiritual strength is required in life and destiny if you will break into any sphere, if you will realize the potential that God has promised you. Spiritual strength is is required. Because life will place such burdens upon you that would look as though why am I even running this race to begin with? Why am I even doing all of these things to begin with? I was speaking on Sunday, and I was speaking of the bible verse that says to him who overcomes. Is that not so?

And I showed you that the race of destiny does not belong to the man who can run. It belongs to the man who can overcome. At the end of that race, God does not call you a winner. God calls you an overcomer. Think about that for a moment. At the end of that race, God does not call you a winner because not everybody who starts has the strength, the fortitude to finish. One of the things that makes people break down on the road and on the path to destiny and success is this failure of strength. There are hurdles along that path. There are several hubris along that path, several obstacles along that path. And if you do not have the strength of heart to continue, to keep on going, you will get to a point to look as though why in the world am I even doing this to begin with?

So the bible says the glory of the youth. This is why every time in scripture, you find the bible saying seek the lord while you are young. Seek the Lord while he may be found. The reason is because there is a level of strength it takes to seek God. And the advantage of the young man is that you have that strength while you are young. The bible says seek him. Seek him. It's a laborious task sometimes. It takes a lot from you sometimes. And the advantage you will have is that you started early early enough to be able to deploy yourself and deploy your strength to give it all it will take.

Because the time will come when that advantage you have, which is your strength, you will no longer have it. There's a way we pray now that old men cannot pray like that. It's not it's not it's not whether or not they are passionate about God or not. When the women came to the disciples to come and tell them that Jesus had resurrected. Do you remember? When they came, the bible says all the disciples started running towards the tomb. Well, none that they have evoked it, but they could not find him in the tomb. All the disciples started running towards the tomb. The bible says John forced all of them to get there. And after he got there, he waited for Peter to arrive.

It wasn't because John was more passionate than the remaining disciples. It was because he was the youngest. And because he was the youngest, he could run the fastest. This tells you that in seeking God, your youth is an advantage. There is experience that the old men have to give. But in terms of pursuing or entering into depth in God, there are certain things that the God wants to do. He will not go and visit the old. Do you remember in first Kings 13, the bible says there were two prophets. There was the young prophet, and there was the old prophet. And God had to harvest the young prophet from another city, another town, another country even to come and deliver a message in the city where an old prophet was found.

That whenever God wants to do something new or whenever God wants to reveal a dimension of himself, there are other requirements that he will demand out of a life that your youth in an advantage to pursue it. There's a way you fast right now. That as you're getting older, you are the one that'll be advising yourself that let's just calm down. Let's calm down. We can't... We are not... The body is not how it used to be. Let's just calm down. Let's relax. There's a way we pray right now.

There's a way we give ourselves to these things right now. There's a passion and a heart for God that we have that is expressed in how we do ministry that only young men can do. If this ministry were filled with old people, this meeting today would not be possible. Can you think about that for a moment? If you're not a walker, you might not understand what I'm saying. For a walker, you might. Because we had to come here and put up everything today in less than two hours, in less than one hour thirty minutes to ensure that everything was set up. Everybody had to be moving very fast and with speed. All of that was because some people had strength and they could deploy that strength. It was because some people had strength and they could deploy the strength.

By 12PM in 2015, every Saturday, you would find me in Javo. And I'll pray from 12PM to 6PM. From 12PM to 6PM, Prayers will be made. A time came, I invited some people to join me. I will continue praying 12PM to 6PM every week without missing any meeting, without missing any service. 12PM to 6PM. It got moved from twenty fifteen to sixteen to seventeen to eighteen, and we just kept on pushing it. The reason why we can do that is because we had strength. We had strength to waste. We had strength to invest.

We had strength to plant. Black strength to dispense. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Remember when we would travel for meetings. I'm saying that it compounds us who are in ministry. Lord, Lord, patient with me. Remember when we travel for meetings, Meetings where nobody knew us, state you have never been to before because a man of God whom we love and honor, our reverence is coming. And because we want to partake of that grace, we know we have to be there. These were not times when people...

When online talk was a thing. Even though the meeting were even streamed on on YouTube. It's old men that watch on YouTube. Yes. Those of us with strength, that is the advantage of our strength. The reason why there is YouTube is for those who are either pregnant or are sick or who are too old to make their way down to church. A young man who has strength We say he wants to follow his service at home. You see, for every time you can deploy strength and you refuse to, what you have refused is glory. Understand. Calm down.

Calm down. Just stay with me. Understand this. It is interesting to me that God associates everything you can become, including your riches to your strength. It means that already tells you it's not hold up to God. That already tells you, if God says, this is your mandate. This is what I've given you to do. God then expect you to deploy the strength he has given you to ensure that that thing that he has shown you find expression. It is strength that will make us go to Chapo and spend twelve hours holding our tongues and praying. It's because you have strength.

I remember a man of God came from years ago to come and join our twelve hours prayers. Was it eighteen hours now? I can't even remember. And as we were praying into, like, the seventh hour, the man of God was sitting down. He was he was of age, maybe in his fifties or sixties. And as I came in, I saw him sitting, and I told people, hold yourselves in threes. And I saw this young man come and grab this man. And as they were bending down, they were pulling his. I said, don't break this man's back. You better leave daddy alone.

You hear crying prayer, now you wonder what is... Now we go from praying to healing. I told them, leave... Just leave daddy alone. Let him pray in his peace. The time that he can pray like that has gone. That is the truth. And let me tell you something. If in the time you are supposed to pray like that, you act like daddy, you have robbed yourself of glory. It's as simple as that.

The Bible says the glory of the young man is in his strength. If the Bible had just said is in God, oh, glory to God. If all if all the bible says is to become everything that God has promised, it is inside of God. We only need to rejoice and celebrate and thank God. Because regardless of what you do with your life and how you spend your time and how you spend your life, you will still become... But it's not it's not true. It's not true because 90% of believers are not a picture of the future that God has promised. The lives of majority of people who call themselves Christians is antagonizing what God said means what. This is not my desire for us as believers. It's not that we just claim Christianity as a religion we attribute to, as a religion that we associate with, and not live out the experience of everybody who should be.

A testament. A testament of their knowing God is not seen in their lives. There is a testament. There is something we should see in your life because you know God. Do you believe this? There is something we should see in your life. Christianity is not just one of those religions. Where we call... Oh, so... Like saying, what political party do you belong to?

Dig it. Like, as though this is just something I associate with. This is a a... This is my belief system. That's not what it is. It's a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle. And because it's a lifestyle, there is some level of experience attached to it that you use and mark everybody who claim to be believers. The Bible says these signs shall follow them. Is that not so?

That means that means if we claim to believe in Jesus, there are signs that should follow us as a proof that we believe. As a proof that we believe. There is God working, but there is strength he has deployed a man to partner with him, to bring to pass everything he has said. In other words, if this ministry will grow to become a thousand, if this ministry will grow to become 10,000, there is some level of strength we must deploy. As a man of God myself, so every time that I'm reading, every time I'm studying, what I'm doing is I'm applying myself because I understand that the glory of the young man, the glory of the young man. And so when you find a young man who is not investing spiritual strength into his life and destiny, understand that what you are trading is glory. And when I say glory, what do I mean? You are trading splendor. You are trading honor. You are trading beauty.

You are trading riches, wealth. You are trading all of these things when you choose to exchange strength for weariness. So every time you find out that you are losing strength, either spiritual strength and you don't have the energy to press on into God in doing spiritual things, understand what the devil is really fighting. What is not... What he's interested in is not really your strength. It is that you understand that if you have that strength and you can pursue God, if you have that strength and you can run, if you have that strength and you can... You see you see, think about it. If the Bible says that this life that we are running is a race, what is the one requirement needed to run a race? Why why why is it that why is it that there is a age limit and a age qualification to become an athlete? Why is it that at the particular age you must retire?

Because you no longer have the features that an heartlet must need. You see, it's different if you're a civil servant. You can be a civil servant until you are 60, until you are 70, and even lower your age. But the moment you are 30, the moment you are entering to 35, they say, okay. You can no longer... You have about two or three years, and then you are done with professional football. You are done with professional. People start hanging their boots. People start... They know that I can no longer continue because the future, the requirement of running a race, of being an athlete, I no longer have.

And what is that? Strength. Strength. And so when these people said, give us these mountains. Give us this mountain. Caleb and Joshua. Give us this mountain. What did he say? For we are well able. That is the language of strength.

Is it... What they are saying is don't consider our age. We still have strength within. There is still glory that can be founded in our lives. We are still willing to deploy ourselves. We are well able. We are well able. There's eternity. And do you know the beauty of this thing? The beauty of it is these are kingdom principles.

And because they are kingdom principles, it means they not only apply to believers. They apply to every man that will apply them. They are... That's the beauty of kingdom principles. It doesn't apply to believers. It apply to anybody. And the truth is whether you know what you're applying or not or you don't know it, it will still work. It's a beautiful thing, and it didn't rust me at the same time. That's the reason why it is possible to be succeeding and not know why you're succeeding and not know what what laws you are practicing. It would take spiritual intelligence to be able to demystify.

Let me make make it simpler for you. Do you know that there are people that will be explained in an area? Let's say, they are creative for instance, And everything that they do in terms of their creativity is always exceptional. Or they are brilliant in their academics. Or they are sales marketers, and they always get results. Or they are into business, and they are always getting results. And you come and meet them and you tell them, and you tell them, please, come and teach me. How are you getting this thing? And they will just reply you one foolish reply that you know this is... This can't be it.

Everybody is doing this. Do you understand my point? Yes, sir. It it doesn't say, don't read your book. Do you... Or you can just say, just just apply. Apply for the job. And they just they just reply, and you will think maybe they are trying to hold the secret. But the truth is, they themselves might not even know what the secret is. What matters is that the way they are applying it.

So it is possible to have to be applying a truth you are not aware of. And this is advantageous if you grew up well. If you grew up and your parents trained you in the will of the Lord. You will have many things as behaviors whose reality you have not yet known. You just know this is the right thing to do, not because somebody taught you this is the way of God. You're not getting what I'm saying. You just know that this is the right thing to do. Not necessarily because somebody told you that, so we do it this way, we do that way. So because you know, because you were brought up with it, you might not have the words to express why you do what you do, but what you were brought up with give you some level of results. Give you some level of what now?

Results. It will take men like us to... That's why sometimes when I now begin to speak, certain people who have a fucking level of result will now start looking at their lives and saying, oh, this is what I do. Oh, this is what I owe. No wonder. Because now somebody is making it obvious to them. Are you with me? Yes, sir. That is how kingdom principles are in general. That is why you don't you don't really have to tell you don't have to tell anybody.

Be diligent. Or tell an unbeliever. Be diligent. Be hardworking. Sell a skill. Because that is what God says we should do. That's scriptures. Those are kingdom principles. But if he does it, if he's diligent, if he's excellent, if he sells a skill and he provides value, and the value it provides, people happen to need it, will he prosper? Yes, sir.

But does he know God? No. Has he been to any apostle Emmanuel's meeting where the apostle Emmanuel taught him? No. Such is the way of kingdom principles. Because kingdom principles have a dimension of the power of God attached to them so that everybody who leaves them out find out that that becomes their experience whether or not they know God. Do you understand what I'm saying? Stop. So it means you can know the person of God. It guarantees your eternity.

It guarantees your eternal security. But if you don't know the principles of God and apply yourself to the principles of God, your life on earth might be useless. Your life on earth might be the opposite of what God has promised. Because for every promise, there are conditions that bring them into fruition. And the problem with being a believer is that your subconscious just attributes your success to God. That's the problem with being a believer. That's why it's my... It's my thought is not growing. I don't first look at what I'm not doing. Look at God.

If they sack me in my place of work, I don't look at what I'm not doing. I look at God. Every... We have all been trained, especially the church in Africa, to hold God responsible for what he has held you responsible for. And so many people are going on about their life just expecting, just hoping that something will happen. Whereas there are principles that God have put in place that you need to apply yourself in. One of fourth application is deploying strength when you are young. One of fourth application is deploying strength when you are young. Any man who finds this and any man who does this has bought glory, has bought honor, has bought splendor, has bought riches, has bought excellence, has bought beauty. That means there's a level of strength you would deploy even to be excellent.

Yes, sir. You want to be excellent in your academics, in your business, in your ministry. There's a level of strength it takes. And if a believer is not willing to apply himself to that strength... So when when when it is... When a school session resumes and people are supposed to be reading, what will make you go in the night to study and to read? Go to class by 8AM for those of you that are students. 8AM, you are in class. You go to class till 4PM, 5PM, 6PM in some department. You come back, you eat, you cook, and you know I still have to read.

You probably have responsibilities in church. You probably have to come for believers equip on Tuesday, and you know your commitment to God would demand that you show up. It is easier to rest at home and say, I want to sleep. What will make you come regardless of an hectic day is strength. Because your life must attract honor. Your life must attract glory. So you know that there is a level of sacrifice I must invest in my life, and I have the strength to do it. If a pregnant woman tells me, ah, I've just finished walk by, and I'm... And and this is already 5PM. I'll post you.

I'll still come for. And you don't understand, sir. Lecturer stressed us. They stressed you. It's a hectic day. Now makes you wonder if you define that as an hectic day. Are you ready for greatness? Do do do you know do you know what it means to magnet multinationals? Do you know what it means to attend 10 meetings in a day? Do you know what it means to be a public speaker and you...

The only rest time you have is between planes, going from one place to another place, and you are invited to speak, and you are desiring greatness, but you say you have an ethic day. What then is the purple of the strength you have? What then is the purpose of the strength that you have? The bible says Solomon, pros... Everything his hand find it to do, he prosper in it. He builds the house of God and built his own house. It takes strength to do that. In other words, I can prosper in everything my hand finds to do. I can prosper in the house of God. I can prosper in my own house because I have strength.

Because I have strength. It means I can prosper in my business. I can prosper in my academics. I can deliver project when I'm supposed to deliver it and still go to class and still read my book and still rest. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Because I have strength to do so. Yes, sir. Do realize that life only gets busier? Do you realize that what is the highest challenge to you now will be the least one you will ever face?

Do you realize that as you go up in destiny to not become easier? Do you realize that there will be new challenges to every level that you enter into? Do you realize that as you go up, as you go higher, you have newer levels of challenges and problems to face that you never ever knew was even possible? So how will you think that this phase of your life, what you are going through is the biggest you will ever go through? How do you think that? If what you are aiming for is greatness, if what you are aiming for is glory, if what you are aiming for is success, a beautiful life, the bible says that God has invested strength in you. God has invested strength in you. You must know that I am strong. So if we don't do it now, when will we do it? If we don't pray the prayers now, if we don't fast the fastings now, if we don't attend the prayer meetings now, if we don't study the studying now, if we don't read the readings now, when will we do it?

Bishop Ouedepo said before he started Covenant University, he read the biographies of over 39 universities. He read their brochure, and he even traveled physically to some of those schools like Harvard, like Oxford physically to ask them questions to the present day. Is because he has strength. That is an expression of strength. It's not easy to carry... Do you know what an autobiography of a university is? You think it is Richard that Paul, that book? I've had I've had the privilege to encounter one of them. It's like a dictionary. And the the man said he read 39.

And and you say he has the... Why would not have the best? He has deployed strength when he was young. There are things that man might not be able to do now, but the strength he has deployed will do it for him. Don't you understand what I'm saying? A time will come in this ministry I would not have to think about many things because the hour that I'm spending doing all of this now, laboring in this regard now, and doing all these things right now, are you with me? Yes, sir. Is putting something in use, pretrial substance in you. But by the time we say, want to feed 13,000,000 people who came for manifest conference. Hear me?

Hear me? Part of my thought will not be how will we do it? Because when I was young, I invested strength inside some people. So I will not sit down, and part of my worry for what a meeting is, where would the money come from now? Holy spirit, I'm trusting God. Holy spirit, I'm trusting God. No. No. No. No.

No. There is glory that would have come at that time because of strength we have deployed now. Yes. That's part of the reason why we are doing what we do. That's part of the reason why we prepare. But you see, when I'm coming to to speak to you, I don't come to speak to you as though you are children. If it were that, I don't have to prepare in some ways I prepare for meetings. If you know how I how I prepare one teaching, one teaching, I don't have to. It's not because I don't have stuff in my spirit that I'm come and say. I've read the bible from Genesis to Revelation four times.

Using different translations. I've studied commentaries. I've read Matthew to revelations between 2014 to now, more than 200 times. More than. So if I were to come for a meeting, I do not have to do any form of preparation. There is stuff in my spirit. I can come and offload. Yet to prepare a teaching that God puts in my spirit, I will get a resources from other men of God, both audio and books. I will read them. I will transcribe them.

I will compare notes. I would add my own. Why am I doing that? I don't have to. I do it intentionally because this is when I can do it. This is when I can do it. This is when it makes sense to do it because this is when we are buying glory. This is when we are buying honor. This is when we are buying splendor. This is when we are buying riches.

This is when we are buying wealth. I look at your lives, and I have a picture of what I want you to become. I have a picture. I have a picture. One of my guys is being flown all expense paid trip to Abuja tomorrow, registered for a competition, and those who... He had... He has won one of the phase of the competition, and his flow is flying down to Abuja all expense paid. When he wins, which he will win? Several several other opportunities abounding. And when I get a report like that, I'm excited.

I'm saying yes. This is why. This is what gives meaning to the label. I look at that life in five years time. I look at that life. And so when I feel weary and I don't want to walk, such lies is what I think about. Not everybody will apply the things I'm teaching, but there are those who will. There are those who will. There are series I have started preparing now because I won't teach them in January. January.

I won't teach them in January. I've started preparing series now. There are times I'm thinking with the holy spirit, and I'm saying, what next? What next? And I start seeing pictures of how my people will start entering into different places of influence, different places of power. And and and after they say, okay, will it happen only by prophecies? No. And that things they must begin to know. Yes. What must they know?

Alright? Taking over territories, opening up places. What are the step by step process to do it? But if I get to a new territory or I get a job or, I mean, I find myself anywhere, what must I know? Like, keys handed over to me that if I apply this thing in six months, in one year, this territory is mine. This place is mine. I said, nobody taught me these things, but I must find them because I must teach you. So I read scriptures again and again, again and again, again and again. Are you with me? Because this is the time that that can be done.

The glory of the young man, the glory of the young woman is an issue. Why in the world will young man have a sleep problem and and think he's okay? Don't don't you rely that an attack against your destiny? Don't you realize that's something that you should plan against as the devil is playing against you? When we started, if you knew how this ministry started, so many hurdles and struggles, there are many things we did not have. One of my pastors, wasn't a pastor then, would have to carry speakers somewhere in Awolo, bring it to UI on his head on bike. When we are done with meeting, he would take it back there. And we're doing it every Saturday, and we're professing greatness. Prophesying greatness. We're no more than 15 or 10, 10 or 15.

And we're prophesying greatness, and we're excited. And we could do these things again and again because we were young, and that was the time to do it. That is the reason why every great ministry you see today, every, every, not minus one. The eruders of those vision had seasons in their youth when they applied themselves as though there is no tomorrow. Many of you have heard that story of how fasted one day was in the airport and collapsed in the airport because he was fasting. I did coughing blood because he was fasting. And in that moment, you'll be tempted to advise them that calm down. Calm down. But this is the time to do it. This is the time.

This is the time. If we don't do it now, it doesn't make sense again. If I want to build a multinational business, the investment I must put into it, this is the time I must begin to learn. This is the time. I was studying the biography of some people, and I was studying about Elon Musk, all that. Many people don't even know that he's an African. Many people don't even know that richest man in the world is an African. And when he began his life in South Africa, a time came and a point came where he had this desire to learn programming and stuff. At the age of 13, 14, 15, or 16, I can't remember what age, but teenage, he learned software programming in the languages that were available then. If you know what I'm talking about, software programming has become easier now in a sense than how it started.

If you were to learn c sharp or c plus plus or Java, you will know what I'm talking about. And at that age, many, many years ago, that young guy gave himself to it. What he had was that he was deploying strength. At that age, he built a program that he sold for some amount of dollars before he was a joint. Why am I saying that story? Not necessarily to inspire you because you don't draw inspiration from the world. I'm telling that story so that you will see that the way people become great is constant. I'm not saying to motivate anybody. If you get if you get motivated by that, that's your problem. My motivation is Joseph, Daniel, Jesus, Esther.

Those are enough motivations. Unless you are a godly person and you are great old, don't have an issue with you. But I can study their lives to see that the patterns that men use and become great is the same. It means I can tell like a medical doctor, a physiological expert. I can tell when a man will not be great. I can tell not because I'm prophesying that he will not be great. Don't get me wrong. But because I'm seeing how he's living his life, and I can just stand and check those that have lived their lives like that, following that same path, where did they land? Because you are not the only one that is living your life the way you're living your life. You're not the first person that is doing that.

That which was is and will be. Are you with me? So instead of deploying strength, I see a man lazying all around. I see a man lazying about instead of deploying himself at a time when he he should be working, at a time when he has strength to labor so that glory can manifest in his life. I see a man who gets easily weary, easily frustrated. That man is buying and calling to his life the opposite of glory. Whatever that is. The opposite of splendor. Because the bible reveals that if your life will capture the first area of strength that a man must develop himself in is spiritual strength. The time spent to give himself to prayers.

The time spent to give himself to the study of the word. The time spent to give himself to learning the principles that made for effective living. Kingdom principles. The time spent listening to messages, listening to messages, reading the bible, boring as it may be, you continue to read until you find life in scriptures. Until you find life in scriptures. Do you know that the first time I went on my bible reading escapade, I did not have an understanding of what I was reading. That was in 2015. Or 04/1415. I can't even remember. 1415.

I just finished a level exam, and I had about three months to spend. And in three months, I finished the bible from Genesis revelation. In that time, I had no understanding. All I was saying was begat and begat and begat and begat. And this thing did not even make any sense to me. They didn't even interest me. But I read it regardless. You know why? Because I had an understanding revolution or should I say underlying revelation that inconsistency lies the power. That the more I continue to...

That's the underlying revelation I had. That the more I continue to give myself to it, a time will come where I will attract the spirit dimension of that thing. It's the law of consistency. The Bible says, do you not know that whatever you give yourself, whatever you give yourself to obey, you become slave of that which you obey. That's the law of consistency. It means the more I give myself to this thing, a time will come when the spirit dimension of that thing will come and assist my effort. So I might start first in my flesh, but I continue following the law of consistency. A time will come when the spirit dimension of what I am doing will now take over that exercise. That exercise will no longer be my strength. It now has sponsored by his spirit.

People who steal, it's the same thing. You can you can start first in your flesh. Maybe because you do not have food to eat. You just start. In the consistency of that attitude, the spirit of theft will come and assist the effort of that guy. Like word of knowledge, he will know where you eat your money. He will just know where it is. He will just stand in the room and look. And something will tell him check there. And he will go right to where the money is.

You will beat him and flog him and beat him and flog him. The following day, he still meets himself there because he's now being assisted by his spirit. An advice will not break that attitude. It's a deliverance. That's the same way the spirit of revelation can possess a man. Inconsider... There's there's something called the spirit of prayer and supplication. How you how you expose yourself to be overtaken by that spirit is to give yourself to prayer. Even if it's fifteen minutes every day, I pray in tongues. Even if it's twenty minutes every day, I pray in tongues.

It might look as though I'm eating dust, I pray in tongues. It might look as though this thing is just dry. All of those things are your soulish response. What you are doing is spirit, not soul. That underlying revelation makes you continue. I pray in tongues. If I look as though I'm tired, it's not... Men ought always to pray and not to faint. And not to faint. I pray in tongues.

I pray in tongues. A time will come in the consistency of this exercise. The spirit will now overtake you. When that time comes, you now go to the same thing you used to do before that used to look as though you are exerting yourself. You are exerting yourself. You are exerting yourself. And you go there and you find that you have spent some time praying. And you think and you think it's like the five minute, ten minutes you used to use before. Until you check and realize you have spent two hours. You now start wondering when did two hours go.

The same you that if to spend two hours, you'd be wondering how, when will I finish? Now you are looking for how you can create more time to pray because you know if I just enter that prayer place, I don't even know when I will come out. That that time that time, a spirit has taken over that advice. The spirit of prayer and supplication is now assisting your labors. It's now assisting your effort. So every time you go there to go and pray, there's an energy that is not of this realm that is supplied. You start praying. Pictures start flooding your mind as you are praying. You can tell that this thing is no longer of my imagination. There are times even when that thing becomes physical, and you can tell there's an obvious presence here.

You start feeling. You start sensing. The portals of your spirit open and you... Your body starts partaking of that experience. You know in your... The vision of your body that I'm not alone as I'm praying. I'm not alone as I'm praying. The spirit has taken over. Inconsistence. Inconsistency.

That's the same way it works with scriptures. That the more I read, the more I read, the more I read. A time will now come, will not take that same scripture that I've read severally and I sit down with it. It now look as though a spirit comes and takes me to where the person who wrote it or writing it. What he was seeing as he was writing. Almost as though you are you are present and you are seeing Jesus telling the stories. It's as though you are watching a movie in scriptures. For the first time, you are gaining insight into scriptures. Your understanding is enlightened. The portals of your spirit are open to receive light from the spirit.

Aye. Aye. All of a sudden, you start seeing yourself in scriptures. You are reading the story of Joseph, and you are seeing how Joseph relates to the economy of Nigeria. You are reading the story of Daniel, and you are seeing how Daniel applies to you in politics. You see strange things in scripture as you read because his spirit has now taken over that exercise with you. You are no longer alone in that journey. You are you are now being assisted by his spirit. It is inconsistency the power lies. And what will help you to be consistent is understanding that you have strength for it.

A lazy man is a wicked man. In those days you were... You believe that an idle hand is the devil's workshop. Whoever brought that proverb brought that proverb did not think well. The devil has no need for an idle man. No spirit has no need for an idle man. An idle man is nobody's workshop because he's he's useless to everybody, even to himself. Do you know how hardworking the devil is? You think witches and wizard are lazy? You think people sponsoring the program of the devil are lazy?

You think sleeping on the graveyard is laziness? You think mountain and altar to ensure that sacrifices are placed in tidruction is laziness. And you must be there by 12AM because the spirit will come by 12:05. Do you think you can afford to sleep off and say, I slept off while prey? Whatever you choose to be allegiance to, ensure you know that spirit very well. If it's God, then know him well. Don't don't stand outside. Be inside. And be completely inside. Let me say it again.

Be inside. And be completely inside. Do you realize that this place you are in is fumigated? The way you fumigate your house to prevent mosquitoes, That is how we fumigate this place to prevent demons. So if they are coming, will find out that certain things you bring, they stand there. There are many men who have tenants. Tenant that they don't even know they are they are. They don't know their housing. You don't know. There are women that have tenants.

The spirit of the the the spirit of depression is camping somewhere. The spirit of fear is camping somewhere. Their neighbors, they share dinner together and share breakfast together. Sorrow and sadness, intense sorrow and sadness, suicidal thoughts. They just stand there as you are coming. So you experience joy for the first time as you enter. Your spirit man comes alive because this place is formigated. But if your life is not formigated, you now find out you go back. They say, hey. Landlord has come.

Landlord has come. Let's Let's inhabit that territory. Before the man of God comes up, we do opening prayer. Fire everywhere. Anointed worship, fire everywhere. Then we pray some more. Fire everywhere. Demons are already shaking before I come. The glory of God has overwhelmed everywhere before I come. The question is, when you go to your office, who is doing opening prayer?

Who is holding the prayers? So where do you think the demons will come the most? Who do you think will have the most attack? You think I'm the one? Or you who is in the world? You who is in the marketplace interacting with people who have the allegiance to the devil. One of my guys was telling me, he said he was teaching mathematics. As I saw it, I just burst into laughter. The joy of the holy ghost was just, oh, I love to read such things. I love to read such things.

The owner of the school called him and said he went to go and take permission to vacate the premises, which they would not normally give. But they told him you can go because we noticed that since you came, we started having results we have never had. See, our student went for mathematics competition. And for the first time, we're inside. We won. Out of the 50 points, I mean, whatever, we had 51 at income. This is just strange things that have not happened before since you entered the school. So continue. Continue. Continue.

Keep up the good work. And while he said, thank you, sir, and entered the classroom back was teaching mathematics, the one student said, I I don't understand what you are saying. The old man said, that's why you need the holy ghost. The moment he said it, student went out under the power in the classroom. Pow. Teaching mathematics. Is that a post in Mani? I said I love this. Now you can't come out with him responsible because he was not praying. That's strength, though.

That's strength. He said other other students from the club or other class has now started wondering what is happening. As one came to come and check the window, that one too went down and started prophesying, saying believe Jesus. So Jesus is coming. Small, small children. Small, small I children. Love the holy ghost. That is why you are in every sector that you are in. Sir. Either it's banking and finance, either it's in oil and gas.

The reason why you are building spiritual strength now is for touch spaces. I went to secondary school. Those early years in 2014 when we started moving in power, we just discovered power, and it was sweet. We we we were introduced to power, and we we we became intoxicated. No. We're responsible. Because there were some that were introduced, and we're not responsible. Our own did not enter leg over, none of those kind. Stand there. Stand Stand there.

Said the guy will now fall down. I said somebody. But we had power. I remember one that I did... I I was teaching some people in a classroom. And I said, see now, the power of God is tangible. Do you know what it means for something to do with tangible? They stood and looked at me and said, we don't know. I said, see. Let me show you.

And we we... Who are doing that to explain the tangibility of the power? None of them. One came and was very stubborn. The guy was the key body. He used to stand at the back like this, And he was not tall. So he thought that nobody... He he came there. He said, he said, they're just forming it because you are the one. I said, sit down.

So the guy did like this to see if there was something there. The guy sat down himself and the chair went outside. This was in 2014. I was a teenager. I was just playing. We're just playing. Having fun with the power of God. You have power. I'm dealing of times when we we will enter the Sick Bay, and we've been looking for sick people. We'll come.

We'll go. I... What... What's the condition? What's the condition? Can I pray for you? He said be healed in Jesus' name. Be healed. We did not have enough faith to say, stand up, but we had enough faith to pray. But in consistency lies the power.

At least we are doing something. Which one are you doing? You continue. Every day, we'll meet the people we prayed for yesterday. Still there. We'll pray again. Put more power again. Put more power again. I remember the the first time somebody told me they were healed. Oh, it was like it was like I was high on something.

Result encourage you. Encourages you. I pray... I thought it was as usual. It it came to me. We're having a conference, the worship experience, and it was a person to play the keyboard. And he told me that he was sick. I don't play keyboard. Was going on. Say, you are sick?

No. Can I pray with you? And I pray with him. And I left. It was immediately. He ran after me. Immediately. That was the first time somebody would tell me they were healed. Maybe all that have been healed that I did not tell you. But this one told me.

He said, I no longer have it. I no longer have it. I no longer have it. Say, I have what? Temperature was gone. Headache was gone. The eyes was yellow. Heart became clear. Heart became clear. Think it was typhoid or fever or whatever, left him instantly.

The guy was jumping, and it it never came back. I said, k. Okay. The next time they brought me somebody that was sick, I had more confidence. It was it was so hot. I said, now watch, watch, watch. Then when we were just having fun with the power cord. We were just having fun with the power of God, and we're teenagers. Don't let anybody tell you there is nothing you cannot do. And we did not have any limiting forces.

We didn't even think that our age was a barrier, a limb. We didn't even... There was nobody to tell us that, so we thought we never we never had the opportunity to think it. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Or there was something we could not do because we were young. No. No. We casted out devils, roasted devils. In those days, we went to one primary school, and I saw children, eight years old, 10 years old.

We preached the gospel. As we were done preaching the gospel, I told them the power of God is here. If you're sick in your body, place your hand there. And I said there's somebody whose leg is in pain. In my thought, it... I thought it was inside the leg. So all you need to do is just... You'll not feel the pain again. But the guy that ran out had fallen down from bike, and his leg touched the sanitizer. And the thing tore the skin off.

Tore the skin off. That was the guy that came and said, it's not you I'm looking for. I I... Bandage was on the entire leg. I know this purple purple stuff was on that... Was was an was an entire thing. Leg was messed up. I carried my heart as well. Did not see the guy. I said, you have been healed right now in the name of Jesus.

Do what you could not do. I don't know who sent the guy. The guy just started unwrapping the bandage with force. I wanted to whisper to the person who got it. That guy. Before we got to him, he had finished unwrapping the deal. What was on the leg was brand new skin. I was not expecting it, but I saw it. It added to my stis. We just just take advantage of first atmospheres.

Did you see that now? Tell him. Praise the god. When he was dying for deliverance, eight years old children started manifesting demons. One in particular voice changed and was speaking like a man. Young girl. Over to maybe 10, 11, 12 years old. I was in, I'm the one that killed so and so. I'm the one that killed so. I'm not interested in hearing those nonsense.

Or a teacher of the school after the gathering. After the gathering. And I pointed to one of them. He said you. You. And the reason why you don't have child, oh, it's not thirteen years in marriage, and you think you will have. I said, shut up in the name of Jesus. I confirmed. I said, are you married? He says, married.

Since when? Thirteen years ago. Have you ever told this guy? He said, no. Tell him. How come he's not the one that is doing you? And you don't want power in the marketplace. As we are going, it... That was a lunch of year old. Like, that...

Just coming and you think a teacher just come to come and teach innocent children. I don't realize that you need spiritual power. You need to have good spiritual strength. There are preachers who have taught children, and because they knocked one's head is why they never prospered. They they they just knocked his head like this. And they never understood that that boy, small as he was, was a high ranking principality. But nobody taught them because they thought that the only places demon manifest is in the church. I'm telling you that if your aim is to go into different sectors of this world and take it over for Jesus, you would need spiritual capacity. That's the reason why you have to build spiritual strength. That's the reason why you...

That man, for instance, who spoke and said, what you need is the holy ghost without praying and then the power of god takes over. It's because there is weight on his voice. It is... It's the evidence of spiritual strength. That same weight on the voice is what you will use and speak to clients. It's it's not for men of God. That same weight, that same weight, that same thing that make people say that our heart not born while he was speaking to us is how you will pitch projects to people. Is how you will submit contract to people without hiding in the name of Jesus. You will just be speaking. Did Paul not say, when I came, my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom.

It was with a demonstration of power. My speech, my speech, and my preaching. It means my normal conversation and my preaching. Do you understand what I'm saying? Both when I'm having normal conversations with people and when I'm preaching, both of them had power. I I could be joking and old, and your heart is burning. We we are laughing and a deliverance is happening. Yes. And it's not because we are we are men of God. It is be...

Listen. Your responsibility is to take the gospel to your sphere of influence. That's your responsibility. It doesn't matter whether you're a pastor or you're not a pastor. I don't care what you have. My young man is not a pastor. But there are Muslims who have been saved in that school because of him. There are teachers who have been saved because of him. Because of him, you have a responsibility to the gospel no matter the self influence God put you God put you in, no matter the territory you find yourself. If you are in a university and you go there, your first thought should be how do I take this place for Jesus?

Doesn't... You don't have to be a man of God before you start thinking about organizing a crusade, a conference. How can God be seen in this place? How do I gather people and share Jesus with them? What is the excuse I have? Is it is it my academics that becomes an excuse? Am I a billion student? If I am, let me gather 10 people together, 100 people, 200 people, and tell them, I wanna teach you how to excel in your academics. It becomes an advantage to the kingdom. If I'm an engineer, if I'm a young man, I look for opportunities for the gospel to find expression.

A general in the army was sent to The US last year to go and... For official assignment. When he got there, as he was doing the official assignment, he used the opportunity to hold great gospel campaign in The US. He used it in Nigeria. As he got to a new territory using the official assignment of the excuse, he said, thank God for this. Why not gather people together and preach the gospel to them? Did not stop the official assignment. And God could still find expression. That is your responsibility. That is your assignment.

Sit down. That is your mandate. That is why you are alive. Your greatest cause is to the gospel. The furtherment of the gospel, not just to invite people to church, to be a blessing and an... And to make impact in the lives of people. It is impactful enough when you bring them to church, but it is of greater impact when your life becomes the impact, when your life becomes the reason why they came. There are some people you just have to tell them your sins are forgiven. God is not angry with you. That alone is peace to their soul.

God is not angry with you. People suffering in depression, in feelings of guilt and condemnation, and you bring a method of grace to them and tell them God is not angry with you. Your sins have been forgiven. Jesus loves you. Can somebody not hear that from your mouth? And there are some of you, God has given you influence. God has given you. God is helping you already, putting you in places of power already even as we speak. Departmental president, fellowship president. Do you know that some of you have influence even over fellowship president?

And you cannot think of, let me put fire in this guy. Let me put kingdom in this guy. Let my life become impactful. Are you with me? Listen. Decide that my life will be an agent of influence for the kingdom. Decide that people will hear the gospel through my mouth. Decide. Don't say don't say this one is for apostolate. Be confident of what you have and what you have been given.

And make spaces gather people and put Jesus on them. Pour fire on them. Pour fire. I told you we're teenagers. We were teenagers when we started this. Teenagers. And we understood that the glory of a young man is in his strength. So we devoted time to hours of prayers like you are doing now. Every time we come here and we invest time praying, don't think we are doing opening prayer because it's a religious thing to do. Because before service start, we must do opening prayer.

It is not a cliche. Stop. There are some of you you gather in fives, you gather in tens, and you say, I just had a I just have a body. Let us pray. Let's develop capacity. Let's capacity. Let's push ourselves in prayers. In hostels, across departments, across faculties, in workplaces, during break time. I share the word of God with my colleagues? Can I impact somebody's life with the gospel?

Can I speak to people? Can I speak to someone who I know every time this girl talks, every time we are having accommodation, and it's time for her to speak, all that comes out of our mouth is trash? You... If if everything that comes out of somebody's mouth is trash, what... How does your heart look like? How does your mind look like? You don't just say, that's a ministry for you. Isn't just let me invite them to church. No. That's why you are there.

It might never come to church until it trans... Until it's transformed by you. What what will bring some of them to church is not because you invited them. It is because they were transformed when they met you. So so the the the... What people deploy is come to church. Come to church. Come to church. I I want to invite you. You'll be so blessed.

Uh-uh. Sit him down one day. Teach him kingdom. Sit him down one day. Tell him what the love of Jesus. Sit him down one day. Let him know Jesus loves him. Let him know that the the the way he's thinking is not how life is. Let him know that his perspective of God has been has been has been painted wrongly. Let him know that whoever painted the image of God he has in his mind painted it wrong.

God is not some father who is looking for every punishment to punish you. He's an heavenly father. Last time he was speaking, he was speaking. He was saying, forget the other church people. Other church people. You notice. Say, have a ministry. I have a ministry with the life of his brother. Have a ministry with this guy. You don't let him like that slide.

That's why you are there. That's why you heard it. You look for avenues of communication. Avenues to speak. And you will find many of them in your spaces, in your sphere of influence, where opposed to a man that will never get to. And it is through your lives that they will find Jesus through your life that their mandate as kingdom citizens will be expressed. Are you with me? Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. One of my girls told me, she said, every time she goes to class, she will just find people with all kind of mentality, and she will just meet with some of them and tell them, can we study together?

Can we read together? And they are always open to that. And as they begin to study the chitchat, and she uses that chitchat as an opportunity to preach the gospel to them in not in a not in a in a way that makes somebody repellent to the gospel or resistance to the gospel, but in a very loving way, in a way that doesn't seem as though you are infusing somebody or forcing your mentality on somebody else, but in a way that makes look as though you're just having a conversation that becomes impactful to somebody else. And sometimes they listen to her. They say, you have given me so much to think about. That's all. That's all. That's all. And you meet again the following day, say, how are you doing? And you express the love of Jesus to them.

There are people that will have annoying behaviors, very annoying behaviors, very foolish behaviors. Everybody does not like them your place of work. People see them and they say this guy has come again. He's contentious. She gets angry easily. And instead of you to look at her the way every other person is looking at her, you say this is my ministry. This is my ministry. I'm sent to this one. And you express love at every instance where she's annoying. They give you work to do, and she's the first person to complain.

And she say, I know this one. No. No. Don't join and say, I do not pay on the same salary. I was a poll and go there. This is this. How are the only one? No. That's my ministry. There are times that this kind of people are like that because of some traumatic experience that they have been through that makes them close their heart towards everybody they meet, makes them very irritable human beings.

And there are times you just ask them questions even by this bridge you can speak. And you don't wanna go directly to the conversation. Just tell her, I even know one of my friends those days who who, you know, grew up in a very rough family and and that led to several messed up behaviors, several messed up this and that and that. And as she's... As you are giving example of your friend, you are talking to her. You're not ending with a testimony. See, when when she accepted Jesus, the widowed spirit gave her peace. She was able to forgive everybody that hurt her. She was able to let things go, and you see the way her life move forward with speed. And she's hearing because God gave you wisdom.

That's exactly what she's going through. But if you go... If you just go and meet her like that, you will just cause more contention. So you look for more avenues of discussion. Change the testimony instead as though you are conversing, not as they are sharing the testimony. You. No now. It's in conversations. Just look for ways to chip it in conversations, to let the kingdom of God express in conversations. It should never be that I'm conversing about anything, and I cannot find a way to contribute kingdom in it Directly or indirectly.

Directly or what now? Indirectly. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? And so because you know that your life is to make impact, you build spiritual capacity. You build spiritual strength. You have a solidified knowledge of your identity in Christ, a revelation of your identity in Christ, a revelation of who you are in Christ Jesus, a revelation that you yourself are loved by God and that you are righteous. And because you are righteous, can speak to anybody. You see, the devil will make you feel as though you that you are still battling with several things or that you're still going through several things. Are you the one that is perfect enough to now speak to people? The devil will bring thoughts of condemnation of that sort in your mind.

That's why a knowledge of your identity is important. So you know I'm righteous. You know I'm righteous. And I can introduce others into this life of righteousness that I've received. I can bring several others into this life of righteousness I have received. Are you with me brothers and sisters? Yes, Lord. And then you build your capacity even in prayers, even in the world, even in the fellowship with your brethren. You'll build strength even in that. And as you do all of these things, you are both building strength and deploying strength and dispensing strength.

As you do them, glory is being exchanged for strength. Honor, splendor, riches, wealth. Doesn't matter what sector you have been called into. It's not for men of God. It's for believers. If you are a believer, this is your mandate as a believer. Are you with me? Yeah. And you start now. You start now.

Be... Have a burden for the kingdom. Do you know that you thought a bad thing to go into your class and say, I'm taking this place for Jesus. I'm taking this place for Jesus. To go into a department and say at least a 100 souls will come from me in this department, in this faculty. If you can't think like that at this level, how would you think like that in bigger space? Is it when you get to the UN, you start thinking like that and say, I'm taking this place for Jesus? Oh, you start at where you are. And heaven sees your commitment and your faithfulness. That is how you now become an indispensable resource in the hand of the master.

We now consider the level of investment you have made and return on investment you have gotten in the kingdom. I will now think that if at this level, you have accrued this much results, then what will you do at bigger levels? It's what makes doors open to you at bigger levels. So once you are delivering quality service, also think of how can I make an impact in the lives of people? Intelligent ways to do so. Intelligent ways to do so. And God will give you ideas. The Lord of the harvest will start speaking to you. It's called pray ye the Lord of the harvest. That's the Holy Ghost.

Because he's the Lord of the harvest, the strategy for the harvest is also in his hands. It's not every harvest that requires the same strategy. You can't say probably for instance, for you, you want to go out and hold a public address system in your hand and be doing morning cry. That might not be the strategy for you. It might not work. You might not get any results. That is why the Bible says, pray ye the Lord of the harvest. One of the things that the Lord of the harvest will do is I will give you the strategy for the harvest, the wisdom for the harvest. He will tell you this is what you should start doing. Freshness awakening, for instance, is an idea that the Lord of the harvest gave.

Do you see how many lives are saved in that meeting? You too can have... The Lord of the harvest can invade your soul. And he can tell you, if... Come on now. Listen to me. Gather 100 people. Tell them, let me show you how to succeed because I succeeded. I'm making a turnover of 7 figures, 6 figures every month even as a student or a young man. Let me show you how I did it.

And you... Even as much as you will do this, you also have an inclination that I hold to God to preach the gospel. So the Lord of the harvest gives you a strategy. It might be one on one evangelism. Go to one person. Go to the next person. Go to another person. Speak to one person every day. And let the life of God in you be revealed to everybody. Let everybody see.

You see, if you are inside darkness, that's the easiest place to shine. Sir. Sir. This department. Sir. Sir. This office. Sir. Sir. There's no God there.

Really? Wow. That's the easiest place to shine. Where does touch light shine the brightest? It's in darkness. It's in darkness. If there are several light sources and you come and join them, you you have to do a lot more work in ensuring that people identify your own proof of light. Do you get what I just said? But when you are planted in a place where there is darkness, then you can be a light in that darkness. You can be what now?

Light. Light in that darkness. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Yes. So as I said, this is how we build spiritual strength. This is how we do it now. This is also how we deploy and dispense spiritual strength. And as we do so, glory. As we do so, honor.

There is also the strength that your soul must have. I would have called it mental strength, but not only the mental part of your soul needs strength. That's why I'm calling the strength that your soul must have. There's also the strength that your emotion must have. Are you with me? You must be able to deploy strength even emotionally, not just mentally. Some level of emotional resilience, especially in the face of adversity, especially when it looks as though this thing is looking tougher than I expect Or multiple disappointments. These things are not come... Are are common. You will experience them.

I taught them on... I prayed on Sunday. It's not... Peter said, don't see that a strange thing. It's not strange when it happens to you. And every man will have such seasons in his life. Every man. I had it. I had such seasons in my life, in my business. When I was applying to...

For jobs and for contracts and all of that, I had several applications turned down and rejected. Several. Several. Several. Several. The more I saw, unfortunately, messages on my email, the more fired up I am to go and register again, to go and apply again. There are times I go and use the toilet, and I'm in my phone, and all I'm doing is applying for job, sending my CVs. I can apply for 10 before I come out. Before I come out, I dropped the phone, go back to reading my bible, go back to reading, building skills, increasing my skills. I was on Instagram.

What is Instagram? Upon the recommendation of someone, and I saw a business that was there, opened their website. I didn't see... It was just looking shabby. I built an entire proposal, sent it to them. I said, know, send it to one. Like, So I went to one and searched for other businesses who don't have websites or would need websites or mobile applications that are all in my purview, and I went, did all of that. None of them brought results. None of them. The...

If you know how much I invested in one proposal, you wonder why do I do it? Because I don't write my proposal in Microsoft Word. My proposal spells excellence. If you see my proposal, you wonder what did you use and do this. That's the first thing that comes to your mind. What did you use and do this? Well, I invest hours into that. Hours of research, hours of study, on something I'm not even sure if they will even read. But when when else will I do it? When else will I do it?

I don't have the time to do any of those things now. Are you with me? Yeah. So you've just come to me now and they come with recommendations. I don't have the time to tell those things now. But the glory of the young man is in his strength. We negotiate and renegotiate and talk to clients, and you had the strength, the emotional resilience to continue until there's a breakthrough. Then everything now... Everything is now worth it. You see, it's like a woman in labor.

Doing labor, when she's pushing out that baby, is... It can be so painful sometimes. But the moment the baby comes out, it's almost as though she forgets every cry she has cried, every pain she has been praying. She looks at the baby and crying, shouting, turns into a large smile. There are times when there is still tears in the eyes, but she's just smiling. And she's saying, it is my baby. It is my... And she's looking happy, rejoicing. That's exactly what happens when that opportunity breaks through. You suddenly cannot remember all the pain and all the things and all that Because it just...

It it makes it all worth it at the end of the day. Are you with me? Sir. It makes it what now? All worth it. At the end of the day, the emotional strength to deploy to deploy, to put yourself inside And still continue in the face of disappointment. And don't mind the disappointment. And don't mind criticism. And don't mind that anybody is saying anything. One of my of my people posted a social...

A video of social media. Those are part I talked on Sunday. And I said, if you wanna be great, people are gonna say all kind of things about you. The video all of a sudden went into 30,000 views. And the more the thing started increasing, the more unfortunate people started gathering that in common session. One said one said, they came to come and show me. They see... Apostle say something on top of innocent video. One said, I wish this application allows us to reply with voice recording because there's one new insult I just learned I want to drop. Why?

Why? Why? Just why? There's no reason no. It's because you are doing something. Every time you have the mind to do something, other people who don't have... Who are not doing anything with their life feels as though they can comment on it. Sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Have you have you ever noticed that the rich are never envious of the rich? Sir. The only people who have something to say about rich people are poor people. Everybody will have their own best player whether it's or all of that. But you never see any two footballers who are also playing that same game want to hold their leg and keep themselves on top of band. But people who have never seen a football pitch, the only thing that is that is in in front of them is the division. They can tear clothes for themselves. You know why? You know why? Because if you are in the business, you really do not have time to criticize others.

Because... Listen. Because you know what it takes to be there. So even if the person is doing it wrong, you appreciate the effort the person is putting inside because you are also there yourself. Listen. Listen. You can sit down somewhere as a member and say, I I don't like the way that might... Join first. Join. The first thing that will reduce is how you speak.

You don't know the letter ah. If you are inside, if you are doing something, if you are great, you really cannot criticize others who are great. It takes irrelevant people, people doing nothing with their life and destinies to criticize others. And as long as those people exist, there will always be criticism for you when you're doing something. You must have emotional strength to realize this to realize this. You must. It's strength. How about the mental strength that you deploy? The mental strength you deploy. To study, to read, to getting more and more more and more resources on what you are doing.

Improving yourself. Getting better every day, getting better every day. There's a level of mental strength that can make me talk like this. Are you with me? Yes, sir. I don't matter the kind of meeting I'm invited to. If I'm if I'm to do a marriage seminar, you will think my only method is marriage. You will look at me and say, ah, this man has lost purpose. He is meant to be talking about marriage. If I come and speak about politics in a place where there are only politicians, I might not even use one scripture.

Yet every principle I will say will be from scriptures. And you will think that my purpose in life is to belong to politicians. It means you can be good. You can be good in whatever it is you're speaking about because you have invested in mental strength. You can be good. In what field of influence you are in, how that's fashion design, there's a level of mental strength required for it to be creative, to be exceptional. Are you with me? The glory of the young man, the riches, and the wealth, and the excellence of the young man is in the strength. Please don't forget what I'm teaching you. Yes, sir.

It is in the strength. A a desire to constantly improve yourself, to constantly improve yourself, to constantly improve yourself, To constantly improve yourself? To constantly improve yourself? Do you have what it takes to be on a journey of constant improvement? Never stopping. Only getting better. That if I worked with you last year last year, and I like what you did, and I'm working with you this year again because I like what you did last year, it shouldn't be at the same level. There should be a difference in quality of service and in excellence. There should be a difference in... Should have you should have improved and evolved over one year, even over one month.

You should have improved and evolved in how you speak to people, how you address people. You have learned on leadership. You have learned on call... Customer management. You have learned on sales marketing. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? You have learned on all of these things. You have become better. It is important if you will be successful. It is it is important if you will prosper.

If you are a student, you know that this applies to your academics. You don't have to be told. This is a new semester already. There are people that have been going to classes but have never opened their book one time. But they've been going to classes. But they've never opened their book one time. And the first time that that guy will open his book is when he's two days a test. And he wonders why he cannot have a first class. He said, it's due thing first class. It's easy to pass.

I was praying some time ago, and the holy spirit told me that every exam is easy. Every exam is what? It's easy. I have to write it down. The next sentence came again. Every exam is only as difficult as the level of preparedness of the writer. It is only difficult because you are not prepared. Every exam. Every exam. And when you come out of that exam hall, you will see unprepared people give the most foolish excuses for why they failed.

They will say the lecturer had naughty jobs. They will say you brought it out of a place you've not even mentioned. They will say it came out of his slide, the down down down part of his slide. They will say it came from it. You you unprepared people always have excuses for why they fail except themselves. They never owe themselves responsible. They never say I just wasn't prepared enough. Whereas, if you have been covering the slight every day since you started going to class, you would not have found it bulky. When is time for exam? You would not have found it bulky when it's time for exam.

But because of laziness, you can't even deploy mental strength. It's easy to have a first class. It's easy to excel in your work. It's easy to excel in your business. It's easy to improve if you give yourself to constant improvement, to be better every day, to be better every time. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? To be better every time. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Mental strength. Mental strength.

You are only as valuable as as as how much you know. You are only as needed as how much you know. A man of God uses example, and I love it so much. If I call a random person here, a random person here, and say you cannot play the drum, and I told you to go and play the drum. Can you play the drum? So if I told her to get on that drum right now and just play and apply your best effort to play something, do you think we would have the patience to listen to a combat of it? Do you think so? What if it's a keyboard? What if it's any instrument? We will not have the patience because that instrument is there.

It's working. Connected to light source. It's functioning properly. But only subject to the preparedness of whoever handles it. So whether or not we will sit down and pay you for what you are doing will be dependent on how much mental strength has gone into the mastery of that equipment. Is that not so? And you can be so good that we come and pay you. Do you know there are concerts that people pay for in some part of the country that all that is performing there is a man on an organ? Do you know? There's no music.

By that, I mean, there's no singer. Nothing like that. Just somebody playing a grand piano. And people will pay thousands of dollars to come and watch it. Do you really think that if all he's playing is two chords or three chords of I will pray, I will pray. We'll come and watch it. Is that enough to pay for? Do you get my point? Will I... Do you think?

Will... I'm proud. I'm I'm proud. Would you pray for that? You won't pay for that. But there are times you watch people, and you'll see the level of skill that goes into the sudden way that that sound even affects your mind. You can pay for it. You feel as though I shouldn't be watching this thing for free. Because the difference now is that somebody has invested so much in mental strength. Ah, you know my plan is to get to a point.

I'm not yet there. It's to get to a point where I will speak in business meetings, and nobody will be able to leave because they are wondering where is the account number that will pay for this value. Because they will feel bad that nothing was paid to accept this level of value because you cannot get anywhere else. So every time I set scriptures, I set scriptures with this in mind. I make myself valuable with this in mind. I read books with this in mind. By the time will come, I will speak to people and say, there... There's no more... It's church to come to church. And they will wonder, no.

No. No. I can't... They will feel guilty. They will leave and be feeling guilty. How would you receive that kind of value and go like that? I make myself that valuable, that valuable that I become a priceless commodity. Listen. There is no place I go even now, even where I am now. There's no place, no platform I will ever step into where I will feel as though I'm not the best man of God that should have been invited.

A bigger man of God should have been invited. Ah, never. Never. The only problem might be if you are blind. But if I came, then the best thing that you needed came. Even if a vice chancellor is sitting down, I'm not intimidated by anybody. The level of value I will supply you, sixty years of academia cannot give it to you. Sir. Sir, can you speak boldly like this? I can.

And there's no pride. I can. If you are called to sing and you put ticket, 5,000, will I consider your voice Has sudden enough to pay 5,000 to come and hear you, or will I feel exploited? Not a bad thing. A bad thing. People have issues with people that put a price on the value that they are offering to people. It's not a burden As long as you are not offering people to God, then it becomes a battle. Do you understand my point? But what I'm coming to come and receive is entertainment. I'm coming to be entertained by your value.

I can pay for that. Even if you're a Christian, it doesn't matter. So the Christian sings, say, casual songs, love songs, secular songs, not canal songs. Do you understand my point? Yes, sir. And I'm married. I want to go and relax with my wife. I won't go to a Sunday meeting and say, no. We are we are going to relax. We're going to bend our head and shake our neck and that now.

We don't wanna sit down and just, you know, enjoy. There is a provision for that in the body of Christ. In other words, some people can sing and what they are called into is that. There's a way pressure will make you feel as though all you have to sing about is I will pray. There are people that rap and they are believers. And they are very good at what they do. But the question now is, if you tell me you rap and I hear what you are doing, is it gonna hit my ears? Oh, life last week, I'm gonna call it. Some people went for a competition to go and sing. When they were done singing, the judge asked them, is there any other thing you do apart from singing?

The young lady replied, he said, I'm I'm a waiter in McDonald's. He said stay with that. You are good at it. Just stay with that. You seem to be better at that than this. Yeah. Are you with me brothers and sisters? Improve yourself. If you wanna be great, only the best are great. Only the best are great.

Do you realize that nobody really remember the second the second person to do a thing? Who's the first person to lie on the moon? Who's the second? Does that mean that there's no second person? Everybody only admires the best. Even women who don't play football, no Christiane will not do. Yes, sir. Who don't watch football. Yes, sir. Because when you are great, you are great.

If you ask some people, do you know? If they want... I'm wondering, what what... Who is that? He said, oh, he's a footballer. He's really... He's a footballer. But he's doing good. Glory to God. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

Which is why believers must be the best. A man of God prophesied over someone and declared was that you are becoming favor is landing upon you. Watch. In our workplace in three years, she brought the company. It's a multinational. Some of you will know it if I mention the name. Brought the company in sales as a salesperson, sales representative, brought the company $96,000,000 in revenue in three years. It has never hap... Million dollars. One person.

One person. That's the kind of result believer should give. That anywhere you find yourself, you are a blessing. Do you get what I'm trying to say? Yes, sir. When the man of God prayed for her, she went back to our place and just continued delivering optimum service. Optimum service. And the boss was traveling out to The US, and the boss called her and said, I'm going to The US, monitor this, this, handle that. And he just jokingly said, ah, help me buy the latest iPad when you're coming. And the boss did not even respond, just nodded and went, laughed about it.

When the boss returned, the boss called out to our office and said, Dick, this is yours, but don't shout. Don't shout. Don't shout. Say, yes, sir. I will not shout. Don't shout. Say, I will not shout. I will shout. Not shout. I Okay.

Said, okay. It's It's it's it's yours. Yours. And she went she went... Stood somewhere by the office, and we just opened opened the bag. And she brought out the latest iPad, and she was like, is this why Organasia should not shout? Because of iPad. I've got thank you. I... You bought a main iPad.

And she said, there's nothing in the bag. So she brought it out again, saw that it was keyboard, iPad keyboard, and and the the the pen. Is this why Organa say I should not shout? Because of, Oga, thank you. Thank you very much, Oga. And so there's something there. She unwrapped the last part of it and shouted. She found $60,000 bills of... In dollar rock arranged neatly. Listen.

Listen. Say it's yours for your excellent service. Now the favor came by prophecy, but something brought about it. Yes, sir. That's about 70 millionaire. That's excellent. Just stick. Yeah. Just stick. Because you are working in a place and you are excellent.

This is why I said, you have to be the best. If what I'm doing is bringing sales to a company, I have to be the best. If what I'm doing is providing this kind of service, I have to be the best. If what I'm doing... Do you see how a believer thinks? This is the mindset of greatness. This is the mentality of greatness. This is the best service you can think of in this field. This is the mentality of greatness. You pay attention to the slightest detail.

This is the mentality of greatness. Are you with me? Yes, sir. The mentality of greatness. The mentality of greatness. One of my relatives work in a place where a multinational as well, but there is always complaints, always problems, difficult problems is in the telecommunications industry. And they are the ones that work in maintaining the mast that ensure service is provided to your networks. And it's kind of an old guard here, a regional manager. The the complaining almost every part because they use diesel sometimes to power those generators that powers the mast. The complaint in most of those regions in Nigeria and out of Nigeria is that there is never enough resources.

There's never enough fuel. There's never enough diesel. There's no extra generator. There's no if one's pause, there's no alternative. There's always a fault, always a problem. When this guy was being promoted, he told me that he had extra when he was being promoted because of good service done. His own constituency never faced all those problems. When he was being promoted, he had 33,000 liters of diesel saved. He had three or so massive generators, brand new saved in case of an issue in his sight. That was when they now found out that it was not as though there was no resource.

It's that the people that are regional managers were selling those things to make money for their own pocket. So the company provides, but is in thousands of liters, not not not small small things. So anytime there's first custody, they are not in oil and gas. So they're using... It's company property to power company resources. They hold part of it, siphon to black market, and sell. And everybody is doing it except one person. That means if everybody was like that, they would have been at least... Each region will have 33,000 liters. Look at what people are siphoning.

That's the marketplace. That's the reality of the marketplace. Everybody wants to make themselves rich. Everybody wants... Are you with me? Sir. When he was getting married, the boss sent him a couple of millions as if for the good work done. Is that not favor? But is that not... Is is that not the way he got that favor?

Is life hard? Life is not hard. You are the one making life hard for yourself by incompetence and laziness. You are employed in a place and they complain about you every time. And you spot this one. You spot that one. Why didn't you come early? Why did you destroy this one? Why were you not able to... Why must a believer be a victim of complaints?

In service or delivery. Oh, you forgot to call this person. Why did you forget? Why did you not do this? Do you think if you are making the part of your employer sad, they will think about you with favor? No. No. Build strength in diligence. Physical strength is what enables you to deploy all these things I'm saying. That's what enabled you to deploy all these things that is physical strength.

And without physical strength, you cannot deploy everything I have said so far. This is where the devil really relinquished his people because somebody will now know this is what I'm meant to do, but it takes physical strength to do it. This is where people fail, especially... I'm not saying especially. If I were to sit, I would have told you especially women. And there's a reason for this. There's a reason for this. A lot of people in that gender fail in physical strength. Not in terms of strength to beat somebody up. No.

Strength to apply themselves to become great. It's a problem. It's a problem. And it's become a widespread mentality that a lot of them have received. That's not what I'm addressing today. If you're failing physical strength, you are failing glory. You are failing honor. Physical strength is where it will come to your heart to start posting pictures of yourself, of your content, of your brand on social media. Because probably somebody told you, you fell as well. I think this is my season.

I think this is my time. God is doing something with me. And you stand there and you post, you you you go and record, you go and do all of these things. It's three months. There's no single picture there. Yet all of them are on your phone. To all that, all you need to do is to just enter and post. I'm telling you the danger of his physical strength. When it is lacking, there is no impetus for action. No impetus.

I will meet with that person. I'll meet with that person. I will tell them what I'm doing. I will I will market myself. I've bought three books now. I want to start reading those those three books on marketing, on this, on that, when physical strength is lacking. I want to apply for five jobs every day. I'll be on LinkedIn. I'll optimize my platform on LinkedIn. I'll put myself on Upwork.

I'll put myself here. I wanna find clients every day. Okay. I'm a writer. I want to improve myself. I I want to I want to I want to. When when physical strength is missing, I want to never became I did. It never becomes I have done. I've acted. This is what I've done.

But in such month, you will hear, I want to. Let us. Let us. Let us. Sir, I've bought some courses to improve myself. I'm not impressed you bought courses. I'm impressed you watched them. You learned something. It's easy to buy. You sit down and learn.

That's where physical strength is missing. I've told myself, sir. I've told myself that, sir, I need to learn how to drive to this next holiday. I'm putting myself to it. I'm giving myself to it. When there's no physical strength, it will take five years to learn it. I want to open a new business. Sir, I'm starting a ministry, and this ministry we are starting, we are doing this when there's no physical strength. Everything remains in the realm of the spirit. Everything remains in the realm of the spirit.

Do you know what the Bible says? The Bible says, let your light so shine before men. Note. Note. Note the word. Let your light so shine before men, not before spirits, not before angels, not even before God. Before men. And the fact that the bible says let, it means allow. It means put yourself in places where men can see what you are doing. Stop.

That's the meaning. Put yourself in spaces where men can see what you are doing. So every time I put myself in those spaces, what I'm doing is I'm letting my light shine. Every time I'm deploying myself in those places, I'm letting my light shine. There's one song that they used to sing those days. This little light of mine. And then all of us will be dancing. You see, they know this song. That is why I'm not shining. Because we've had...

Listen. Then Hear me? Hear me? Hear me? Because I have no idea where you were told that light life is of little. Listen. Listen. Someone as great as myself is telling myself that I will let my little light shine. No longer... No wonder you have no impetus for action.

After all, it's a little light. Wonder there's no impetus for action. I've taught many things in this place. If there is no strength to apply, you will never see result in your life. Never see result in your life if there's no strength to apply. If there's no strength to apply, this is so important. This is so important. Not even to apply, to apply and to continue to apply. To apply and to give yourself to constant application. Constant application.

There's someone that came to me some time ago and told me, apostle, you gave me an assignment to do last year November. I'm so sorry I've not come. I don't know how to come. I'm really, really sorry. I said, okay. Shut up. Your sorry... How does your sorry affect me? Do you realize that me that gave you assignment, the second week after I gave you, I forgot that I gave an assignment. In fact, the second hour I said I forgot.

The second minute I said I forgot. It's not my life. It's yours. It's not my destiny. It's yours. Are you with me brothers and sisters? It's yours. Some of you need to listen to messages again and give yourself to application. Because where you have been failing is this physical strength to just apply and deploy instructions, ideas that God has given instructions, ideas that God has given. That I've been sitting down in notebooks that have not seen the light of day.

Give yourself to application. The reason why some of you don't have enough testimonies is because there's nothing to testify about because you're not doing anything. You're not stepping out. You're not moving out. Are you with me? Sir. You're not stepping out. You're not moving out. And let me just let me just deviate a little bit. Listen.

Let me deviate a little bit. Some people come and see me here on Sundays, and they start telling me, I'm pushing you spoke words over me, this happened, and this happened, and that happened. One one came recently and told me, I spoke words over him, and and a following week or so, it happened. He did this, he did that, or he even said, after that, he listened to a message I recommended. And when he listened to it, he saw an idea I gave. He implemented the idea and brought and got multiple sales from that idea. Sales almost in 7 figures. And I said, my goodness. Have you shared the testimony? He said, oh, no.

I'm just waiting for the right time. I don't know why we are like this. But if I see that a principle is a principle, I don't I don't have the idea with it. I've no observed that people that share a stimulus always come and and share again. Every single time, every single time that the works of God abound, I tell someone. I share it in church. I share it with workers because I know it's a principles. Are you with me? It's a principle. Apply yourself to principles.

When God does something, don't wait. Just come and share immediately. You stand there, you say this is something I cannot keep quiet about. Are you with me? Because these are principles that open multiple doors to you. And you never know where the entrance might be in, so just open all the doors. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah. Just open all the doors. Live like someone on the verge of greatness.

Don't live like someone who does not have a future. Don't live like someone who does not have a future. Live like someone who has somewhere they are going. Don't walk with people that want to spoil your life. If you notice that my relationships are the reasons why I'm not taking reasonable actions and steps, dissociate yourself from them. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Yes. That's the point of it. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. The glory of the young men is in their strength. The glory of the young men is in their strength. For every time you fail to deploy strength, understand what is really at risk. For every time you can't and you give excuses for laziness, understand what is really at risk. Understand that this is the time to apply yourself because a time will come when you would not be able to. Am I speaking to someone? A time will come when you would not be able to. And so if there is any time at all, now is that time. I want you to pray one prayer point and say to God, give me strength for destiny fulfillment.

Father, give me strength for destiny fulfillment. Can you pray? Give me strength for destiny fulfillment. Strength for destiny fulfillment. Strength for destiny fulfillment. Father, as everybody... Anyone under the sound of my voice who is lacking strength, any form, any time out of all that we have spoken about spiritual strength to pray, to study, the mental and the emotional strength, the physical strength of application, of deployment of that which we know. As many as I hear under the sound of my voice, who are lacking in any area. Let your ministering angels respond to my bidding even as I declare. Let your ministering angels...

The Bible says, whilst Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, angels came and ministered strength unto him. For everyone of such individuals, those ministering hinges that minister strength that minister strength to the weak. That gives grace to the weak, that empowers the weak, that empowers the heart of men, those whose souls are weak, who are becoming frustrated, who are saying I've tried, I've tried, I've tried, I've I'm not seeing as much results as I want to see. Let strength be given now. May there be a release of strength. A release of strength. A release of strength. Yeah. It's coming upon people now. It's coming upon people now.

I see God releasing strength. I'm seeing fire lighting upon five people. Fire lighting upon five people. Fire lighting upon five people. Lighten upon them. Receive it now. Thank you, Jesus. We will give God all the praise. Will you give God all the honor? Thank him for what you have received.

Thank him for what you have received. Thank him for what you have received. Even as we are thanking God, I'm still seeing angels ministering to people's hearts. I'm still seeing that happening. It will continue to happen even until tomorrow morning. I'm still seeing it happening. I'm seeing people who... I'm seeing like like empty cups, empty cup. And I'm seeing like a refilling happening. And what God is telling me is that there are people who have been drained.

You have been drained. You have you have just gotten to a point where you have been drained. It looks as though you are drained like a like a car that no longer has fared. But there is a refilling happening, a refilling happening, a refilling happening, happening. Happening, A refilling refilling happening. Happening. Thank you, Jesus. This that I'm saying, it will not end now. It will continue to happen. I tell you, even throughout this week, there will be just that the hand of God will be so strong upon some people.

All through this week, all through this week, the hand of God will be so strong upon some people. So strong. God will be doing so much. So much. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. I'm seeing for about two or three people. I saw that when it was time for you to apply yourself, you did not, and so you lost some opportunities because you could not apply yourself when it was time for application. But what I'm seeing happening now is that those doors are coming again.

Those Those opportunities are opening again. In Jesus' name. We believe you were blessed by this message to connect with the Disciples Christian Network and get more from Apostle Emmanuel.
