In Jesus' mighty name we are Let me hear amen to that loud enough. Thank you, Lord. Like I said yesterday, if in case you are— you've taken a posture again that you can— where you can sleep off, then wake up. There are times in life that you need no one to wake you, you have to wake yourself. Are you with me? As a matter of fact, you don't begin to do well per se until something wakes you beyond people. Yes, something must keep a man awake. Yes, so yeah, don't wake your neighbor, wake yourself. Glory to God. Once again, let's say thank you, Jesus. Let's thank him. Let's thank him. Let's thank him.

In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Say that amen loud enough. Now this morning I want to bring you into a reality through God's word, and, um, Maybe this is the morning that you are going to discover what has always been wrong. You know, you can be in a situation where you know something is wrong, you can't tell what it is, but there comes a time that you are exposed to the revelation to know, okay, this, this, this should be it then. But let me show you a scripture. Are you here? Now, if you read the book of 2 Samuel chapter number 23, I'll wait for the media to project it. 2 Samuel chapter number 23, um, we'll start the reading from verse 8. 2 Samuel 23, we'll start reading from verse 8. I want to show you something. Now the Bible says, these be the names of the mighty men whom David had. The Tachomite, who sat in the seat chief among the captains, the same was Adino the Eznite. He lift up his spear against 800. Whom he slew at one time. And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo. No, Eleazar, Eleazar was quite a very strange man. One of the three mighty men of David, when he defied the Philistines that they were gathered together to battle, the men of Israel were gone away. He arose and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary and his hand cleaved to the sword. And the Lord wrought great victory that day, and the people turned after him to spoil. And you keep reading on and on and on. As a matter of fact, there was a time that one of the family members of Goliath came for vengeance. He came for revenge mission several years after they faced the shame of a teenager killing their champion. Now that the teenager is now a king, they came to kill him. And where David was, the guy aimed his spear there, but David escaped. And one of the mighty men said to David, said, from now you should not go to war with us again, said, lest the light of Israel is put out. Let me make a word of prophecy: God will give you men. Okay, maybe that word didn't sink well, but I'm speaking as one called of the Lord. God will give you men. Amen. No one is as stranded as the one who has no man. The man at the pool of Bethesda didn't say, I've been here because I was sick. He said, I've been here because I have no man. When you have everything but lack men, You are still stagnated. God will give you men. Amen. There was a guy that was paralyzed, but because he had men, his case didn't get prolonged like the case of the man at the pool of Bethesda. His friends quickly intervened, and when Jesus was preaching in Capernaum They removed the roof of Jesus's house and tied the boy with some ropes and let him down where Jesus was preaching. The guy might not be able to do it, but there are friends who won't give up on him. Again, I'm prophesying, God will give you men. Amen. Look at what the Bible says in the book of 1 Chronicles chapter number 12, verse 22 to 23. 1 Chronicles 12, verse 22 to 23. 1 Chronicles 12, verse 22 to 23. Now look at it. For at that time, day by day, They came to David to help him until it was a great host like the host of God. So every day people came to help David till his host was very great. It's been long you saw a real help, but you will see it this week. You are about to find out the kind of help that looks like dreams. The challenge in front of you that you have made budgetary calculations for, and it is quite clear in your mind that you can't achieve, in this season God begins to inspire men your way. Now I'm wearing my prophetic regalia this morning, and I'm prophesying. You've made calculations, you've made permutations, you have questions unanswered, and your question might look like the question, how shall these things be? And you're asking questions, and the Lord is saying to tell you this morning, there are people prepared like horses. When they carry you, they get you to your destination. God will give you men like Moses who will bring the supplies needed at the time that you need it. That becomes your reality. You will not be stranded. Look up. The men of David Huh? They, they said you don't come to war again. He said if they kill you, they have killed the light of Israel. Let's defend you. You go, let us fight. That's help. That's help. Huh? Get up on your feet, everyone. You will find help. Amen. And the help will not show up when it is late. Amen. The help will come on time. Amen. You will find help. Amen. The help will not show up when it is late. Amen. The help will come on time. Amen. People of God, help is real. There are people that God calls and sends to you, and they must discharge their duty because that's part of their calling. I want you to pray. And I, I see, I every morning I wake up to pray about this, there's specific burden. I need to pray, Father, in this season help me to know what it means to enjoy the gift of men. Help me to know what it means to enjoy the gift of men. Help me to know what it means to enjoy the gift of men, that I will not be stranded in the race of destiny. There are things you are doing so because you have no man. There are things that you are not even doing at all because you have no man. There's no one to help. Help me to know what it means to enjoy the gift of men. Show me, show me, show me, show me, Lord. Help me to know what is enjoy the gift of men, the gift of The gift of men. The gift of men. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Now look up, everybody. Before you enjoy the gifts of men in you. There must have been something you have found that is beyond you. Why should we help you? Now, are you going— what is your life about? God wants men to help men to the degree of their assignment. There are people who just want to live natural life. Go to school, they can finish NYSC, job, few years, marry, give birth, grow old, have grandchildren, die. How does that require hell. But the day you find something greater than you is the day you get supplies. One of the ways you know you have found your purpose is that it must flow to help humanity beyond. Now this morning, you know, like I said to you, each time we pray, what, what are you doing now that requires help? What is in front of you that is beyond you? And I said, why should we help you? There are girls on standby. Are you with me? It's a question, it's not a way to make you feel guilty. What are you doing now requires the intervention of God. If you are found, you see the intervention. Oh, your amen is now slow. Amen. And if you haven't found that bigger purpose, you will find that your life will be a flow that will bless humanity in the name of Jesus. Now let me say this because I want to lead you to— don't choose to live ordinary life. Hello, are you here? Don't choose. Now, sometimes, now you see, when you look around, for instance, um, the society, you see that, um, maybe, maybe if sometimes President passing the motorcade and all, all the guys with him and across different countries, those things are only necessary because of the kind of office There are things that become necessary once you find your assignment. There are supplies that are now no longer luxury, they are needed. Until you find your assignment, it's a struggle. Father, show me what my life is about. Listen to what I'm saying, listen to what I'm saying. And you must vow, everyone connected to me with me this morning, You must vow, I will not live an ordinary life. Say it again. I will not live an ordinary life. Say it again. I will not live for myself alone. I will not live an ordinary life. I will not be ordinary. I will not live for myself alone. I will not live an ordinary life. I choose not to be ordinary. Are you with me now? Once you become— and I'm sorry if this hits you in a way Once you become ordinary, things as small as phone will become a prayer point. Phone. Top, top, top, top, top. Hello. Many of the things we struggle to get is because they are for self. There are supplies in heaven. There's no strandedness there. When David was about to be killed and he ran for his life, and he ran to the house of the priest, he said he wants bread. Say, is there any bread under your hand? The priest said, there are no common bread. That is, the food for commoners is over. But we have a load bread if the men have at least kept themselves from women. And David, understanding his priesthood journey, requested for the hallowed bread. Say, your men have been on the run for some days now, and he did eat. As we approach the coming of Jesus, common bread becomes cursed. Now there is hallowed bread for those who have seen an assignment to touch nations. For those who have seen and— are you with me? For those whose flow of life is beyond them, those who are concerned with the way things are going, those who are burdened and want God to use them to change narratives. Guess what? You are not too old to conceive new visions. Are you with me? Are you with me? You are not too old and you are not too young. To conceive new visions. There is hallowed bread. God wants to put blessing in your hands for men, not for your belly. In this season, you will know what it means to have. Now I want to lead you to pray very important prayer. Father, show me what I must do beyond me. Give me, give me, show me, show me what I must do. Show me what I must do. Show me what I must do. That was the question of Paul when he was Saul of Tarsus. What will you have me do? Show me what I must do. What's my life about? What's my existence about? Show me what I must do, Lord. In Jesus' name we pray. Look up, look up. Let me tell you something, and this is, this is, this is a very serious secret. Sit down, find God's purpose for you beyond you. Set your heart on actualizing it. Things that now become necessity because now your life is no longer yours. This is what is missing many Christians' journey. This is what is missing. I remember one time I was in Morocco and I heard that there was a place where people were taking self-containment. For ₦25,000 per year. I screamed, what? ₦25,000? Who is able to afford that? How are they paying for it? Because the flow of my life put me in a place where that was a surprise. I wish I can open your mind and install what I'm saying there, that as long as everything about you is for you, there are certain forces whose attention you have not commanded yet. Can we live a life that God's host are obligated to work in our favor because God's vision becomes fulfilled because of us. Is it a child? The child will come. I didn't hear amen to that. I said, is it a child? The child will come. Is it resources? Resources will come. Is it a spouse? The spouse will come. Amen. Is it doors of nations being open? It will come. Amen. You will find visions that necessitate that. Amen. Now let me tell you one of the things I found. Everyone I know who woke up in life to look for money never got it. But those who look for what God will have them do and what their own contribution will be on earth, they got their own contribution and they also got the resources. One time a particular set doing my NYSC was passing out and I was to preach to them and I told them, don't go looking for money, don't go looking for money. These people can finish NYSC and go and start hook up from escu in family house to hook up. Are there no family houses that you see cars coming to pick sister? And you think that is bread, but they have taken them to where they will do ukop short time and they will bring them back. The greatest disaster that can befall man is to look for money they will not find. They will spend the life eternal to look for money that is here, and some of them, when they finally get the money, you can't cure the problem they have created. Readjust your scope, readjust your lenses. What is my life about that is beyond naira, dollars, pounds? Readjust your lenses. And I'm saying this because God wants to bring you to the realm where things really happen. There is a place where things happen. Are you with me? You are the one that feels something is cursed. There are resources, there are rooms that is allocation that is being discussed there because of the nature of their assignment. Whether they will steal it or not, that's their own business, but the nature of the assignment demands them to be there. The same way it is in the physical, there are also in the spiritual that as the year is starting, it is clear who are those who are pushing the frontiers of the kingdom. That we can trust with these banners. And then you begin to hear witnesses in heaven. And that's why the Bible says that we are surrounded with a great cloud of witness, that there is a son in Uyoe, whose life is consumed with the kingdom. Let's send 20 people to help him. And like Moses' hand was getting weary, let them hold his hands. There are things that are no longer prayer points. Once you find your assignment. Well, you know, one of the problems many of us have is that you keep asking yourself, if I live like this and I choose not to pursue this, I may never get it. And that's— that fear, until you deal with it, even pursuing what you want to get, you will not get it. You know, Lot chose his own lot. But they don't do much. God told Abraham to look at where Lot picked and where Lot didn't pick. He said, everything I got, give you. Now hear what I'm saying, and this is very important, because if we pray every day and we are not adjusting our motives— how do I help you? Please don't go, hold on, wait. Wait, wait, let me help you. Let me give you an illustration, okay? Um, I would have loved to bring somebody forward. You didn't wear wig, your head will just show and they will say it's small. So, so look up. Oh my, my heart is burdened. Bulk of what we practice as Christianity is a practice that can't raise mighty men because it is need-based. There is a way you lead people to practice a kind of Christianity that you will succeed but they will fail. And later they will realize that they failed, you succeeded, and they will hate your God. I don't want you to— I don't want you to be in that situation. Are you here? It doesn't matter how you love a child. You can only give the child what is for now. The heir of the house, as long as he's a child, defer him nothing from the servant, though he be lord of all. Is made subject to tutors and teachers till he becomes of age. What does it mean to be of age? That's the season you move from benefit to responsibility. You must find a kingdom assignment that your life is about that commands the attention of God to solve your problems. That's how things are done. We can't just wake up every morning and it's about daily bread. It is vain to do so. There must be something that makes certain things no longer happen, because when you take care of God's things, God takes care of you. Are you with me now? Can I lead you to pray to find it? Listen, there's somebody there who is, who is thinking that this message is for pastors. It's not for— it's all believers. And that thing is not about holding the microphone. That thing can be about one way or the other to humanity. You must find your own leadership. Our life can't be about churchgoers who wake up every morning to ask God for daily bread. We are not better than Alomajiwis like that. They wake up without purpose and carry plate around. And sometimes we wake up and what we call prayer, morning prayer, is that we have brought our plate. Put the food for today there. No, no, no. Father, show me. This year is ending. I'm tired of— my life is too dry and it seems to be about me, me, me. Show me something beyond me that I must do. Show me. Show me something beyond. Show me what the flow of my life is about. Show me, show me, show me, Lord. Show me what I must do. Jesus, thou Son of David, help me, help me, help me. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Now let me begin to tie this up. It is your assignment that determines your vision. And I've told people who care to listen, God doesn't finance— he finances project. As long as you are Adu, there are resources you never touch. Let me say it again, it's not a deep thing. It is your assignment that determines your It is the portion you have found that is yours to walk on, on the earth, that determines what is apportioned to you. For some, traveling nations is not a news, it's an assignment. Something they have found. You might be a businessman or a businesswoman, there must be a purpose attached to it. Business is the platform. Jesus saw a tree, hoping to eat fruit from it, and there was no fruit on the tree. And he said, let the tree dry up. There's one that said they should dig around this for a year, hoping it will bring forth fruit. There are Christians that are enjoying now that they are in rebellion, but favor is coming. Actually digging around them that hopefully this thing will, will bear fruit. In year 21, that Femi Lazarus mentioned a statement. He said he asked God, because some things were happening around that time, why is it that ministers die young? God reply them with a question: why should a tree exist without fruit? In this season, you bear fruits gallantly. Amen. Ah, you will bear fruits gallantly. Amen. I'm seeing a family situation. This family situation There is no purpose. It is an aimless arrangement, and the children are becoming wayward because it is aimless. Nobody set out to get anything done. When you find that vision of God, that is what rearranges your life and sets you in a place. Never go out looking for bread. Never go out toiling like others are toiling. First, you need to know what he will have you do. The moment your life goes beyond bread, you will produce bread. I wish I can beg you, I wish I can prostrate right now and let you know how important a secret this is. That your assignment can even many times determine the length of your days. I'm telling you, you know, years back, God led us to— you know, I'm— my heart is heavy, my heart is heavy because I am a student of church history, and I know who I am in the present in respect to the past and the future. There are postures you must not take. I remember when we honored— we started honoring fathers in the Body of Christ every year, and we honored Baba Lowere. Somebody came online to mock me and dragged me and said we are doing it for the camera. I laughed. When Elijahs begin to pursue for— or Elijahs, sons of the prophet will mock. Until you return and they say, okay, something is different now. This year alone, we bought how many cars? 7th one now for people, and all are SUVs. There was a time even with prophecy I couldn't buy a sedan car in 3 years. I'm not talking about car for myself now, for the purpose of God's work, people who are doing it. Next day we're going to buy over 100, distribute for missionaries. God didn't design you to need to stay alive. That's why you must find purposes bigger than you. Some of you are good to start feeding the poor on your street. Christmas is coming. If you think you'll be broke by then, start preparing what you use to feed the poor now. There must be a flow from you. It's a big secret. It's a big secret. I wanted to say some things, but media space sometimes— it's a big secret. We prepare to honor Baba. Baba is 83 now, going to be 84. The son said to me, he said, they have all forgotten Daddy, said they have all forgotten him. He was on ₦40,000 salary till it was stopped at 83. ₦40,000. God can bless you that with the way you are right now, you can pay the salary of 2 missionaries or pay the school fees of 2 orphans. You don't need too much to survive your life. And many of you think it is being woke. First, they made you look like a fool for giving in church. Then they tell you are the smart one. Then you begin to trend it that we are smart now, we know they give shishi. And you are going to meet in eternity those who gave their lives for the gospel to reach you. You are not dying, but you can't give a kobo. Then now they are telling you that the supernatural is false and is a lie, and you are trending because you have no stake in the kingdom. And what you are not realizing is that there is an agenda to prep you to a point where you are defenseless and helpless, stranded and destroyed. People ask me, how do you get time to run all the shows? We run all the programs, you do PPC, you preach everywhere, then you— none of them fail. You run this program, you run that television station and all that. If my life was going to be about me, we convert all those things to what is edible. We spend millions, millions of naira to maintain the things we do. You think God surrounds us with people who say, I know they give shishi, will be able to do this? Those of you that God has called to say, this man, I have raised him for a sign to this generation, follow him. Follow. I make bold to say that. Paul said, follow me as I follow Christ. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not a man given to plenty words. When I'm preaching, I talk. When I'm working, I'm quiet. And that's why followership is not complete until there's observation. I sense that this conversation is what you need for God to bring you into increase, because your gaze will now change from your pot to the pot of others. And now your life— are you with me? You can be crying at your prayer point about one room self-contained. Thing because it's containing just you. Once your vision enlarges, you are not thinking about those things. It's your vision makes the necessity for you to have rooms around the world. That's the secret. You will find it. You will find it. Amen. You will find it. Amen. Nothing dies in your You will find it. The light of God's power. When Jacob finished fighting, the sun rose over him. As you step out today, suddenly the light has not shone on you over the years will shine. Amen. And you are going to receive insight, revelation on a new level. You are going to know what to do in every situation. There's no confusion in your account. Your heart is prepared for that which God wants to do. I bless you. I bless you, everyone under the sound of my voice. You will make God proud. You will make God proud. You will make God proud. You will make God proud. You will make God proud. I bless you. You will— you will— this secret you have found this morning will produce for you. You will not be like beggars on the street carrying plates. For daily bread every day, but rather you fulfill purpose that brings you to the place of supplies. In the name of Jesus, it is done. In Jesus' mighty name. Okay, so God strengthens you, and I decree as you go out this week, you find help. God will send you mighty men, and they will carry your burdens for you. Nothing dies in your hands. Grace upon grace and strength upon strength, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. God bless you. See you on Monday. Um, I think if you are watching from University of Abuja, University of Abuja this morning, um, this evening, and it's going to be an amazing meeting. Um, yeah. And on Sunday, see you across all our centers. 4 Sundays of Therapy still continues. And it's going to be a great one. Love you guys, have a great weekend. Bye-bye.
