1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,880
Who is this a Wisdom Bible 
church? 

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:08,400
The Church of a distant 
Christian narration? 

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,440
You are welcome to his presence 
and our online church. 

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,920
You are equally welcome. 
You will be blessed with the 

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,720
fullness of the blessings of 
Christ as I bring you the Word 

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,000
of God again this morning in the
name of Jesus. 

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,240
Understanding passion is still 
the topic, or rather passion for

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,320
impact is still the topic. 
And the direction we are going 

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:44,520
to to this morning is to deepen 
our understanding of the 

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,320
subject. 
So we are focusing on 

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,960
understanding passion this 
morning. 

12
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,640
Passion as we noted last week is
a major requirement for 

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,920
outstanding sources in all life 
endeavors. 

14
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,960
So it's a good thing that want 
to deepen our understanding of 

15
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:12,120
that which is required for 
outstanding success in all lives

16
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,080
endeavor. 
Last week we were greatly helped

17
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:23,480
by the Holy Spirit and we 
established that passion resides

18
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,520
in the mind. 
Passion reside in the mind. 

19
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,720
It is our mind that hosts 
passion. 

20
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Our mind equally hosts memories.
I said that last week. 

21
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:47,080
And our mind generates thoughts.
Passion resides where Ansami 

22
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Church. 
So which part of the Tripathi 

23
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,800
component of man is the host of 
passion? 

24
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,160
The mind. 
So the mind is a component of 

25
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,960
the soul. 
So it is the mind that hosts 

26
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,720
passion. 
And I said the mind equally 

27
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:14,120
hosts memories and it generates 
thoughts out of the abundance of

28
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,800
the arts, the mouth speakers. 
So nothing good or bad happen 

29
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,560
outside the knowledge of the 
human mind. 

30
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:33,520
Nothing good that you do, 
nothing bad that you do, will 

31
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,320
happen outside the involvement 
of your mind. 

32
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,520
So we are, all things being 
equal, our protocols observe. 

33
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:52,280
OK, if your mind is sound, your 
glorious destiny is already on 

34
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,520
the track of success. 
And that's why the scriptures 

35
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,760
say He has not given us the 
spirit of fear, but of love and 

36
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,400
of a sound mind. 
Sound mind, a sound mind, 

37
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,000
developing a sound mind. 
The Holy Spirit can help you. 

38
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,960
Why? 
Because a sound mind is very 

39
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,680
essential to recording 
outstanding sources in all lives

40
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:23,840
endeavor. 
And I'm submitting to you that 

41
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,360
where your mind is sound, your 
glutos destiny is already on the

42
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,520
track of success. 
The other things that will be 

43
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,640
required to support your son, 
mine is now passion and the 

44
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,440
grace of God to run well and 
finish strong. 

45
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,680
I pray for you in the name of 
Jesus. 

46
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,480
The law will help you to grow 
the soundness of your mind. 

47
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,920
I have just prayed for somebody.
I said the law will help you to 

48
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,240
grow the soundness of your mind.
Your mind will not be without 

49
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,520
passion for the right things. 
In the name of Jesus and the 

50
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,280
grace of God Almighty, we 
support you to run well and to 

51
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,840
finish strong in the name of 
Jesus. 

52
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,320
You see, the sadness of the mind
matter so much to the degree 

53
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,320
that the difference between a 
mentally rich man and a normal 

54
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,600
person is the state of the mind.
Do you agree with that? 

55
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,560
A mentally deranged person and a
normal person, the difference 

56
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,080
between them is the state of the
mind. 

57
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Your mind will not be confused. 
Your mind will not deranged. 

58
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,440
In the name of Jesus, lift up 
your right hand. 

59
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,720
I say in the name of Jesus, I 
will not lose my mind. 

60
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,160
We have prayed honestly. 
I will not lose my mind. 

61
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:01,000
So much pressure around us that 
can make people go insane, say 

62
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,280
in the name of Jesus. 
I will not believe things that 

63
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:08,480
will make me lose my mind. 
I will not give in to 

64
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,040
philosophies that will make me 
lose my mind. 

65
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,600
I will not adopt A heating or 
drinking habit that will make me

66
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,000
lose my mind. 
I will not work in the company 

67
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,880
of people that will brought that
will bring me into covenants 

68
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,600
that can make me lose my mind. 
Your mind is so critical to your

69
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,720
well-being. 
Prayed for yourself parents, 

70
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:43,080
prayed for your children. 
In Jesus name we pray you pray. 

71
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,120
Second one, say in the name of 
Jesus, concerns and prayers of 

72
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,880
life will not make me lose my 
mind. 

73
00:05:52,680 --> 00:06:00,040
We have praise in the name of 
Jesus, concerns and prayers of 

74
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080
life will not make me lose my 
mind. 

75
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,200
People are going through a lot 
and lot of prayer. 

76
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,040
You see people walking on the 
street upset my day. 

77
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Concerns and prayers of life, be
it economica, be spiritual, 

78
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,720
whatever it may be, be it 
academic challenges. 

79
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:43,880
Evil will not invade your mind. 
Demons that cause destruction 

80
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,840
will not invade your mind. 
In the name of Jesus, in Jesus 

81
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:55,440
mighty name we pray. 
In Jesus mighty name we pray. 

82
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,280
You see, your mind is meant to 
host the passion that will drive

83
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,520
your life and the devil is 
seriously contending to either 

84
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,200
possess or confuse your mind. 
I pray for you again, in the 

85
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,680
name of Jesus, the enemy will 
not succeed to confuse your 

86
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,480
mind. 
The enemy will not succeed to 

87
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,000
occupy your mind. 
Demons will not possess your 

88
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,560
mind. 
Evil thought will not possess 

89
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,400
your mind. 
Evil ideologies will not possess

90
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,880
your mind. 
In the name of Jesus, when you 

91
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,240
get it right in your mind, you 
will get it right in all that is

92
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,760
that you do in the physical 
realm. 

93
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,760
The mind is like the gates to 
put the spirit towards your 

94
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,120
spirit and to your flesh, to 
your body, to the organs of your

95
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,160
body. 
Hallelujah. 

96
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,440
So when you are becoming 
regularly absent minded or you 

97
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,280
are fond of greeting outside the
consciousness or awareness of 

98
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,880
your mind, there's a problem. 
Hello. 

99
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Where you are the type that is 
becoming regularly absent 

100
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,840
minded. 
Where you are the type that 

101
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,640
doesn't have the capacity for 
concentration, when you are the 

102
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,000
type that doesn't have the 
capacity for focus in life. 

103
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,840
Am I talking to somebody? 
OK, take note of it. 

104
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,080
The devil is already touching a 
critical aspect of your life 

105
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,680
that you need to live a 
meaningful life. 

106
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,840
So when you are becoming 
regularly upset minded, begin to

107
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,360
give careful attention to 
yourself. 

108
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,799
Where you are fond of doing 
things outside the consciousness

109
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:52,040
or awareness of your mind. 
You need to seek help when you 

110
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,400
begin to see this manner of 
symptoms. 

111
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,440
You may need even medical help. 
You may need even spiritual 

112
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,960
help. 
A depressed mind or a derived 

113
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,280
mind comes about as a result of 
leaving your mind unattended to.

114
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,680
Many people have time to attend 
to their physical body, but they

115
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:25,920
are not attending to their mind.
And when you find a depraved 

116
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:36,280
mind, a mind that is not given 
to God, a mind that does foolish

117
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:45,680
things with pride, a mind that 
pursue wrong ambition, wrong 

118
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:53,080
purpose, a mind driven by wrong 
motive, or even a mind that's 

119
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:59,520
already deranged, mentally 
impaired, more often than not 

120
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:05,320
come about as a result of 
leaving your mind unattended to 

121
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,840
tell somebody, give attention to
your mind. 

122
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:16,320
So our mind needs nourishment 
the way our body needs food. 

123
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:26,080
Our mind is what nourishment. 
Nobody will see poison and drink

124
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,280
it. 
Most people that take poison OK,

125
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,120
is it that they they are already
suffering from depression. 

126
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,520
If they take it deliberately, 
OK. 

127
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:40,240
More often than not, people take
poison accidentally. 

128
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:45,720
Nobody with we set a table of 
poison for himself as meal, 

129
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,160
praise the name of the Lord, but
for our mind, OK. 

130
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:59,480
We deliberately poison our mind 
by listening to the wrong thing,

131
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,720
giving attention to the wrong 
information, and so on and so 

132
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,080
forth. 
So your mind needs nourishment 

133
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,600
the same way your body is to be 
nourished and well attended. 

134
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,760
Though your mind does not only 
need nourishment, it also need 

135
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:26,320
protection. 
It means what protection? 

136
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:36,800
We protect our trials and we 
have forgotten that our mind 

137
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,240
itself is a great treasure that 
require protection. 

138
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:48,360
Proverb 422 say keep your heart 
with all diligence for art of it

139
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:55,720
are the word issues of life, 
issues of life out of the art 

140
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:02,200
are the issues of life. 
Praise the Lord, rise up again 

141
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,640
as we pray those prayer we ally,
I pray. 

142
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:08,680
Rise up again as we pray those 
prayer we ally, I pray. 

143
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Talk to the Lord say, Father, I 
will not lose my mind. 

144
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:20,120
Prayers of life will not make me
lose my mind. 

145
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,880
We have prayed honestly in the 
name of Jesus. 

146
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,800
In the name of Jesus, I will not
lose my mind. 

147
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,760
Prayed, prayed, prayed honestly,
I prayed earnestly. 

148
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480
You will not lose your mind in 
the name of Jesus. 

149
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,280
You will not lose your mind in 
the name of Jesus. 

150
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:45,400
Pakina pregaba tedaba leprocha 
shataya blakeete maca. 

151
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:54,600
Talk to the Lord to help you. 
Talk to the Lord to help you to 

152
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,000
maintain the sanity of your 
mind. 

153
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,640
Talk to the Law to help you to 
maintain the sanity of your 

154
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,200
mind. 
Talk to the law that concerns 

155
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,640
and pressure of life will no 
longer trouble your mind. 

156
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,920
The Law will give you the 
capacity of the mind to handle 

157
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:20,760
concerns and prayers of life. 
The capacity of the mind to 

158
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,120
handle the concerns and prayers 
of life. 

159
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,680
In Jesus mighty name we pray. 
Pray this one to say, in the 

160
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:35,360
name of Jesus, let me hear you 
clearly. 

161
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,040
I will not lose my composure to 
life. 

162
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,840
Prayer we have prayed in the 
name of Jesus. 

163
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,760
I will not be destabilized by 
prayers of life. 

164
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,560
I will not lose my composure to 
unpleasant experiences of life. 

165
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:08,120
And Jesus name we pray have your
set in his presence. 

166
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,880
I mentioned that a depraved mind
or a direct mind comes about as 

167
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:21,000
a result of leaving your mind 
unattended To mention that your 

168
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,240
mind need nourishment and it 
also need protection. 

169
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:32,720
Proverb 423 Keep thy heart with 
all diligence for out of it the 

170
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,560
issues of life. 
The ECG this version says be 

171
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:42,520
careful how you think, your 
thoughts make you the person 

172
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,520
that you have. 
Be careful how you think, your 

173
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,280
thoughts make you the person 
that you have. 

174
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,440
So if you don't knowledge your 
mind, it will be weak. 

175
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,680
I can therefore be easily 
poisoned. 

176
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,120
It can be easily poisoned by 
deception. 

177
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,720
It can be easily poisoned by 
wrong advice. 

178
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,600
It can be easily poisoned by 
evil thoughts inspired by the 

179
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,360
devil. 
So all that are what can happen 

180
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,000
if you don't attend to your mind
by noticing it and protecting 

181
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,640
it. 
So it will not be strong to be 

182
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,600
able to handle issues of life if
you don't protect your mind, it 

183
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,720
can be invaded by evil thoughts 
and anxiety can be invaded by 

184
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:47,400
evil thoughts and anxieties. 
So a poison mind OK and an 

185
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:52,240
overcrowded mind are not good 
for destiny fulfillment or 

186
00:15:52,240 --> 00:16:00,520
fulfill your destiny gloriously 
Ensure that your mind is not 

187
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:07,600
poisoned then don't allow your 
mind to be overcrowded by 

188
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:17,560
concerns and issues of life. 
Why either a poisoned mind or 

189
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,960
the one that is overcrowded? 
None of them is good for destiny

190
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:30,120
for women. 
So ensure that every time you 

191
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:37,120
are in the right state of mind, 
in the right frame of mind to 

192
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440
pursue purpose and to achieve 
it. 

193
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:47,040
Right frame of mind, you know, 
and of course, the worst kind of

194
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,760
state of mind is to allow your 
mind to stay idle. 

195
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,000
I put emphasis on that with a 
common statement that I do make.

196
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,920
That's an idle hand. 
The sea is the devil's workshop.

197
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,040
But I say unto you, and I do. 
Mine is the devil's bedroom. 

198
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,160
That's where I sleep and does 
everything. 

199
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:15,200
So don't allow for that manner 
of state of idleness, because 

200
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,000
the worst state of mind that 
anybody can go through is to 

201
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,839
allow your mind to be blank, is 
to allow your mind to stay idle.

202
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:30,040
In mind that is I do cannot 
generate passion. 

203
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,600
A mind that is I do cannot 
generate word passion. 

204
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:44,920
Even when you have dreams and 
you lack passion, you will 

205
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:51,400
discover that your dream cannot 
be translated to the desired 

206
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,840
sources. 
So in mind I generate dreams but

207
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,360
lack passion. 
To pursue them is not in any way

208
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:04,600
desirable. 
So I pray for you again, your 

209
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,160
mind. 
We have the capacity to dream 

210
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,360
and the passion to pursue it in 
the name of Jesus. 

211
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:20,760
It is commonly said that if 
wishes were horses, beggars were

212
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,560
right. 
Praise the name of the Lord. 

213
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,040
So a lot of people have wishes. 
They have loved the dreams which

214
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:35,280
they are finding difficult to 
achieve because they lack the 

215
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,000
passion to pursue it. 
So the mind must have the 

216
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,920
capacity to pursue dream. 
And what is that capacity? 

217
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:49,120
That capacity is called passion.
Let me drive it for that a 

218
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:55,080
little before we begin to now 
move from next week to the 

219
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,440
application of the understanding
we are gaining from the meaning 

220
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,560
and the essence of passion. 
So let's look at the influence 

221
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,880
of passion over purpose. 
So what to examine what passion 

222
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:14,200
does, what to examine, the kind 
of destiny help you can receive 

223
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,480
from having your passion 
regularly of detail. 

224
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,800
You see, we are all born with 
potentials, the ability to do 

225
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,920
certain things very well, the 
ability to do certain things 

226
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:38,160
without stress, the ability that
you can apply to achieve success

227
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,320
in life. 
So that is the way God has wired

228
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,160
us. 
The area where you have capacity

229
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,400
may not be the area where I have
capacity, but there is no one 

230
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,280
without his or her own capacity.
So this capacity, this 

231
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,080
potential, where it will be 
deployed will be determined by 

232
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,640
the kind of passion that you 
have. 

233
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,280
Is somebody listening to me? 
So you have had so much about 

234
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,080
potential, but in spite of your 
potential, you are still there, 

235
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,640
not achieving much. 
From after this message you will

236
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,360
begin to achieve much in life. 
I said from after this message, 

237
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:21,760
you begin to achieve much in 
life in the name of Jesus. 

238
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:28,200
So just as your dream require 
the support of passion before it

239
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,800
can be achieved, in the same way
your potential required the 

240
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,560
involvement of passion before 
potential can translate to 

241
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,600
success. 
Before potential can achieve its

242
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,800
purpose, it must be supported by
passion. 

243
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:50,520
Am I talking to somebody? 
So potential determine where you

244
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,480
will be. 
I mean passion determines where 

245
00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:04,160
you will deploy your potential. 
I had Is it Reverend George at 

246
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,240
the boy or about the boy that 
preached a message many years 

247
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:18,880
ago that this cable thieves that
goes in the dead of the night OK

248
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:31,120
to go and steal electric cables.
OK, They they don't work in the 

249
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:35,000
power sector. 
OK to have control of how to go 

250
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,240
and switch off the lights, but 
yet they will go in the dead of 

251
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,480
the night, OK and they will 
still successfully get cut off 

252
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,160
the cable. 
He said if they are deployed 

253
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,080
their potential in the right 
direction, they will be better 

254
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,040
electrical engineers. 
Am I talking to somebody? 

255
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,680
So your passion will determine 
where you will deploy your 

256
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,400
potential. 
There are people, OK that speak 

257
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,720
better than I do, OK, But by the
time you meet them where they 

258
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,480
are yawning, they are yawning 
nonsense. 

259
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,520
They are, they are, they are 
speaking things. 

260
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,080
That doesn't rectify. 
People praise the name of the 

261
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,160
Lord. 
So they are the potential of all

262
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,320
is free, but where they are 
deploying it is in the wrong 

263
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,400
direction. 
Why? 

264
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,240
Because they are the wrong kind 
of passion. 

265
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,040
So passion determines where you 
would deploy your potential. 

266
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,400
It determines where or what 
purpose you will focus your 

267
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,640
energy on. 
Passion is very important. 

268
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:47,520
Passion is very important. 
When King David was writing in 

269
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,520
Psalm that I am glad when they 
say let us go into the House of 

270
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,240
the Lord, he was referring to 
His passion. 

271
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,560
What do you give him that joy to
want to be in the presence of 

272
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,680
God, His passion? 
And what is making some people 

273
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,520
to always want to be in the 
clubhouse, OK, drinking 

274
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,320
themselves to stupor is passion 
that drives them there. 

275
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,960
I pray in the name of Jesus you 
will not embrace the kind of 

276
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,320
passion that will lead to your 
destruction. 

277
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,840
So where you are going to focus 
your energy on, in fact what you

278
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,840
are going to place your 
resources on will be determined 

279
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,720
by the kind of passion that is 
driving your life. 

280
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,160
You choose to be a 
philanthropist because God has 

281
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,880
so much bless you. 
It is your passion that will 

282
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:42,120
determine what you will sponsor.
Am I talking to somebody? 

283
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,520
Then whether you be diligent or 
indolent in life will be 

284
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,280
determined by either the 
presence or absence of passion. 

285
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,960
Jesus said my food or my drink 
is to do the will of him that 

286
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:03,080
sent me and to fulfill it. 
He was a funny to passion. 

287
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,760
So when you find a man living a 
carefree life as if there's no 

288
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,720
agency to anything in life, go 
and check it. 

289
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,600
What is missing his passion? 
When you find a person who love 

290
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,120
to marry his bed. 
OK, I will not think about what 

291
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:29,120
do I do with my time and my life
because what you do with your 

292
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,280
time translate to what your life
will become. 

293
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,280
Am I talking to somebody? 
What you do with your time 

294
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,600
translate to what your life will
become. 

295
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:46,080
So but when passion is missing 
OK you will be wasting time not 

296
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,560
knowing that you are wasting 
your life. 

297
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,520
Any man that love to waste time 
is already wasting his life. 

298
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,000
So whether you will be a 
diligent person, up and doing 

299
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,240
person or an indolent person 
will be determined by either the

300
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:12,080
presence or absence of passion. 
I describe passion as the active

301
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:20,440
form of power. 
Potential is the passive form of

302
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,000
power. 
Passion is the active form of 

303
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:30,400
power. 
Potential is silent, Passion 

304
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,360
cannot be silent. 
Passion will speak, Passion will

305
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:38,120
move, Passion will roam, Passion
will fly. 

306
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,240
Are you with me? 
Potential can sit down and be 

307
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,080
dreaming. 
Hello, you dream, your potential

308
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,920
can inspire dream fulfilling 
that dream where you will have 

309
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:58,040
to involve passion. 
So passion is the active form of

310
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,120
power, whereas potential is the 
latent form of power. 

311
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,600
It is sitting down there, it is 
silent there because something 

312
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,600
has to be done to it to make it 
go into action. 

313
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,280
To give your potential will go 
into action and fulfil your 

314
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,880
dream, then you must wake up 
your passion, tell somebody wake

315
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:23,120
up your passion. 
So it is the active form of 

316
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,520
power. 
So a potential that is dormant 

317
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:32,240
and not backed by passion cannot
fulfill your dream. 

318
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,200
So passion is the activator of 
potential. 

319
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:44,240
Passion is the activator of what
potential you know when you buy 

320
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,720
a SIM card. 
I don't know whether they still 

321
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,760
do that today. 
Maybe today's SIM card artifacts

322
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:52,440
itself. 
But in those days when we when 

323
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,480
this GSM thing came to our 
country, by the time you buy the

324
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,520
SIM card and you put it in your 
phone, it will not work 

325
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,840
immediately. 
They will ask us to go and 

326
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800
activate it. 
Press the name of the law. 

327
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,440
So passion is the activator of 
potential. 

328
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,720
So we can therefore explain 
passion to connote the inner 

329
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:24,000
driving power or the self 
motivation to pursue purpose in 

330
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,080
inner driving power. 
OK, that is making you to step 

331
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:38,960
out or the self motivation to 
pursue purpose. 

332
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,960
And where there is no self 
motivation, there will be no 

333
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:49,440
silos usage or silos engagement 
of potential where there's no 

334
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,960
self motivation. 
So that's self motivation, to 

335
00:27:54,040 --> 00:28:00,160
seriously use your potential, to
seriously engage your ability. 

336
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:05,720
That self motivation, it will be
provided or supplied by passion.

337
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,000
So passion, you can again 
consider it as the raw material 

338
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,560
needed to generate power, the 
power that you need to pursue 

339
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:23,040
purpose. 
So when you lack passion, you 

340
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,040
will obviously lack power. 
The power may be there, but 

341
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,680
power will be useless. 
Hello. 

342
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,960
So when you lack passion, you 
will obviously not put your 

343
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:44,200
power to use. 
But if your passion is active 

344
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:50,160
and alive, you will not love to 
stay idle, you will not love to 

345
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,160
stay idle. 
When there is responsibility, 

346
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:58,760
you will not love to hide OK and
allow others to to do it. 

347
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,520
Praise the name of the law where
you have passion. 

348
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,720
Dodge. 
Your responsibility will not be 

349
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,840
a part of your style. 
You know the style of some 

350
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,880
people used to always dodge 
responsibility. 

351
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,280
Food is ready, come and hit kind
of people. 

352
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,360
They will not contribute 
anything to the making of the 

353
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:23,960
food, Making the food available,
they are not part of it. 

354
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,520
Processing the food, they are 
not part of it, OK, but when it 

355
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,640
is time to eat it, they want to 
take the lion's share. 

356
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:39,580
But if you are a man with an 
active passion, you will not 

357
00:29:39,580 --> 00:29:44,340
enjoy staying idle. 
So when you love to stay 

358
00:29:44,340 --> 00:29:49,580
complacent, when you are in any 
system and you love to stay in 

359
00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:54,480
different, what you lack is not 
money, what you lack is passion.

360
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,080
A lot of people blame their 
inability to achieve success or 

361
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,240
money. 
EBO who columns are you? 

362
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,640
Italian saju, A miffy fetchy 
oluma saju. 

363
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,000
So they just sit down waiting 
for when the money will come 

364
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:21,560
before they step out. 
No, it is where you lack passion

365
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,920
that you think like that. 
So what to lack is not money. 

366
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,720
What to lack is passion. 
Passion. 

367
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,480
Passion is the drive that will 
make you start small, knowing 

368
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,280
fully well that you can always 
grow. 

369
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,160
But when passion is not there, 
you will blame you're not 

370
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:51,120
growing OK or not having money. 
And the devil understand this 

371
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,000
perfectly. 
So when the devil is out to 

372
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,240
discourage you from pursuing 
purpose, if we attack your 

373
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:06,560
passion, the devil knows very 
well that if a man has the right

374
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,720
kind of passion, Holy Ghost 
inspired passion, that kind of 

375
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,840
person cannot be deemed. 
So what he does is to attack 

376
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,720
your passion. 
So anytime you are sensing 

377
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,960
discouragement, the devil is 
after your passion and 

378
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:25,080
indirectly after your success. 
Am I talking to somebody? 

379
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,440
Say I will no longer give in to 
discouragement. 

380
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,200
I can't hear you. 
So when we're talking about 

381
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,800
passion, it's not just having 
interest in anything. 

382
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:43,160
It is having the willpower to 
drive or to pursue your 

383
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:48,080
interests. 
What do you like to become in 

384
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,880
the future because you have 
interests in medicine, Say I 

385
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,800
said medicine, so that's 
interest now. 

386
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,920
But if that interest will 
translate to what you will 

387
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,880
pursue, passion must be 
involved. 

388
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:11,800
It is passion that give you the 
willpower while others are while

389
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,960
in the will, their time. 
You bury yourself in the 

390
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,320
library. 
Hello. 

391
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,000
OK, while all that are partying 
around, you are drilling 

392
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,600
yourself on the pitch, OK, 
Because there's a peak in 

393
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,400
athletics that you want to 
attain. 

394
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,320
There's a record you want to 
break passion. 

395
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,480
It's not just having interest in
the thing. 

396
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:43,120
It is about having the willpower
to drive towards achieving your 

397
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,160
purpose, to pursue your 
interests. 

398
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,480
So the moment you sense a dying 
passion, you're already losing 

399
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:59,800
purpose. 
Hello, you are an evangelist, 

400
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,320
OK? 
The moment you start to lose 

401
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,880
passion to weakness, you're 
already losing your purpose. 

402
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,640
Ditto for any other life 
endeavour. 

403
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,800
So when you sense a dying 
passion, it's only a question of

404
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:23,720
time, you will start to enter 
the uselessness mode of life. 

405
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,240
I pray in the name of Jesus your
life will not be useless. 

406
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,440
Who is a useless person? 
A useless person? 

407
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,480
One of the things you see that 
can size their life is lack of 

408
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,480
vision for more often than I 
that note some of them who have 

409
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,160
passion and who have vision lack
the passion to pursue it. 

410
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,160
So when you find a useless man, 
he may not lack vision, but 

411
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,920
certainly he lacks passion and 
that is the reason you could not

412
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:06,000
pursue his vision. 
When there's no passion, you'll 

413
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,880
not be able to pursue your 
vision. 

414
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,760
I ran up today so that we 
continue next week with how to 

415
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:19,239
generate passion. 
So I round up by saying without 

416
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,199
passion, you cannot pursue 
success. 

417
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,800
So you need passion to power 
your dream. 

418
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,600
You need passion to power your 
vision to fulfillment. 

419
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:39,760
I pray in the name of Jesus, 
lukewarmness in the things of 

420
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,239
the Spirit, lukewarmness towards
the pursuit of your career, 

421
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:55,080
lukewarmness and good attitude 
to study will no longer be the 

422
00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:01,720
characteristics of your destiny.
In the name of Jesus, thank you 

423
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:05,240
Jehovah God, in Jesus name we 
pray. 

424
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,880
God bless you. 
We believe you'll be blessed by 

425
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,720
the ministry of this message. 
You will do well to be the doer 

426
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:19,480
of all you've heard.
