1 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,920 I did do I ready to think of on yourself. 2 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:49,200 Break my flesh, my will, my strength alone to use me as your 3 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,880 good service. Break my flesh, my will, my 4 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:19,660 strength, Oh Lord. Hallelujah, praise the Lord. 5 00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:28,120 Let's all say thank you Jesus. It is a privilege to be standing 6 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,360 in front of you this morning. I give all the praise and 7 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,640 adoration on to our Lord and Maker, our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,760 Let us welcome the Holy Ghost. In our myth, a club offering. 9 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,280 Welcome the Holy Ghost. He's here. 10 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000 Yes. We acknowledge his presence here 11 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,680 this morning. And I wanted to shake a brother 12 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,320 or sister and welcome the person. 13 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,720 Yeah, can we lift up our Bibles and notebooks? 14 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,640 Let's see what we are going to record with your Bible and 15 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:00,800 notebooks. Please. 16 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,400 When you come into the presence of God, do not come with empty 17 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,040 hands. I beg you. 18 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,919 Because Bibles says that the devil is also qualified to steal 19 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,760 and he steals the word of God from you. 20 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,360 So forgive me for asking, but it is very important. 21 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:26,600 Today is the climax of our local week and the word the Lord laid 22 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:33,200 on my heart to share with you is unleashed to live a life of 23 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,800 consecration. Unleashed to live a life of 24 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,960 consecration. Can we all say it together? 25 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,520 Unleashed to live a life of consecration. 26 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:54,520 For the last time, I want us to open the Word of God and read 27 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,280 from the book of Philippians chapter 3 verse 13 to 14. 28 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,200 Philippians chapter 3, verse 13 to 14. 29 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,160 I will not keep long that much with this word. 30 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,840 So I beg you for the next 30 to 40 minutes, lend me your ear. 31 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,000 Can we all read together? Philippians 313 to 14, let's 32 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000 read together. Go, brothers. 33 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:39,000 One thing I press on towards the goal. 34 00:03:45,930 --> 00:03:49,850 Hallelujah. It's my prayer that at the end 35 00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:52,970 of the same 1, you forget about yesterday's mistakes. 36 00:03:54,170 --> 00:03:58,210 Oh, I didn't hear an Amen. By the end of this lesson or 37 00:03:58,210 --> 00:04:01,210 this preaching, you forget about what is holding you back. 38 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,640 Some of us are running in circles. 39 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,560 You go and you come and meet the same thing again every year from 40 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,040 January. You make a lot of resolutions 41 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,320 and you end up where you were last year. 42 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,680 It is my prayer that every chains of stagnation will be 43 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,800 broken in the mighty name of Jesus. 44 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,680 If in your finances you move forward, in your academics you 45 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,160 move forward, in your work you move forward. 46 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,480 If you were using a motor, you use a car. 47 00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:33,480 The Lord wants you to move forward. 48 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,800 If you are renting, you will build your own house. 49 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,480 In the mighty name of Jesus, you will move forward in your 50 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,880 tithes. You will move forward in your 51 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,400 offering, your education, your children's education. 52 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,240 Don't move forward in the mighty name of Jesus, The Lord will 53 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,760 order your steps. So many believers today are 54 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:04,400 gifted, many are anointed and full of potentials, but 55 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,040 distracted. We live in an annoying SeaWorld 56 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:15,680 full of competing voices, endless responsibilities and 57 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,040 constant interruptions. Yet for us to fulfill God's 58 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:27,600 purpose, we must be unleashed and also distracted and live a 59 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,480 life of concentration. Whether you understand it or 60 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,960 not, whether you believe it or not, whether you agree with me 61 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,000 or not, there are distractions everywhere. 62 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,240 And when you read the Bible in First Corinthians chapter 924 to 63 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,560 27, Bible has called us runners. We are all runners. 64 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,720 We compete in a game. Life is a race. 65 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,520 And everyone seated here this morning is termed by the Bible 66 00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,200 as a runner or an athlete. Hallelujah with this, Whether 67 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,600 you don't believe in Jesus or not, that is how it is. 68 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,360 You stop your race when you die. Hallelujah. 69 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,320 And it is sad that some of us do not complete their race and they 70 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,760 enter into the grave this morning. 71 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,400 Whatever you have started, may the Lord cause you to finish. 72 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,920 Whatever you have started, may the Lord cause you to finish in 73 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,440 the mighty name of Jesus. Now when we say concentration, 74 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,920 concentration is the ability to give your full attention to what 75 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,160 really matters, to give your full attention. 76 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,240 These days when I ask a question like what do you give your full 77 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,680 attention to? As we are seated here, we are 78 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,200 not giving our full attention here. 79 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,160 Some of us haven't divided attention. 80 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,640 What are you thinking about? Some could be the amount of 81 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,160 money in your pockets, the business or the work you're 82 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,160 supposed to do tomorrow when you go to the office. 83 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,400 What are you supposed to sell this evening? 84 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,760 How you're supposed to manage their school, their school? 85 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,360 How do you call it your children's school tomorrow 86 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,360 morning? We have divided attentions. 87 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,000 Some are worried about their health, what I see tomorrow. 88 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,200 But one of the things that I can assure you is if you invest all 89 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:26,640 your concentration and fix your heart and mind on the will of 90 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,120 God for your life, trust me, all shall be well with you. 91 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,040 So in terms of spiritually, it means that you are supposed to 92 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,160 fix your heart and fix your mind on God's will for your life. 93 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,240 Hallelujah. So the question is, what is 94 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:51,000 God's will for my life? All of us are seated here 95 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,280 dressed nicely. Most of us are using our own 96 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,080 will. Most of us are walking in our 97 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,280 own will, walking in our own purpose. 98 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,720 Have you ever sat down to analyze your life, to ask 99 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,600 yourself what is the will of God for my life and am I walking 100 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,080 through this will? Am I walking through this 101 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,400 purpose that God has given to me? 102 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,240 Now when you read Isaiah chapter 26 verse 3, now Bible is telling 103 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,600 us that you will keep a perfect peace. 104 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,360 All who trust in you, who do, all whose thoughts are fixed on 105 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,240 you. So one of the things that we 106 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,840 gain is perfect peace. If all our attention, all our 107 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:44,120 worries, everything you think about is on the cross, whatever 108 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,200 that your attention is, is, everything is buried in the 109 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:55,120 cross, you will keep in perfect peace with the spirit of perfect 110 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,720 peace come in your homes, because it's very important to 111 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,440 have peace in this chaotic world. 112 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,280 There's trouble everywhere, whether you know it or not, 113 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,840 whether you accept it or not. You wake up early in the morning 114 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,840 and trouble is already knocking on your door. 115 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,040 But it depends on the grounds on which you are standing, because 116 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,960 some grounds are seeking sand, there are some grounds that are 117 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,200 seeking sounds, and you cannot stand on a sinking sound. 118 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,120 To solve a problem, it is very important that each and every 119 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:37,200 one of us live a concentrated life, giving the Lord our full 120 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,120 attention. Some of us have given the Lord 121 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,640 about 20% of our attention, 50% for our family, the rest for our 122 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,160 work. So whenever we are called upon 123 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,840 to do something for the Lord or even to spend time for the Lord, 124 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,520 the Holy Spirit speaks to us. He wants to spend time with us. 125 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,240 Whenever I stand here and I speak the word of God, I'm 126 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:03,080 always compelled to talk about our personal relationship with 127 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,040 God because that is what is going to land us in heaven. 128 00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:11,760 I was asking a man I spoke to this week that if we just 129 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,200 announced that the news that Ghana is about to be destroyed 130 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,240 by a nuclear weapon, so we should all try as much as 131 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,360 possible to do it to run. I think the president will first 132 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,640 of all look for his family. He will make sure all his family 133 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,680 have disappeared from Ghana before thinking about you and I. 134 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,400 And as I'm standing over here, I don't think he even knows me. 135 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,160 He doesn't know me, but he knows someone. 136 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,360 So since he knows someone, he's going for that person. 137 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,680 Jesus Christ is coming. And if your name is not written 138 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:46,200 in the book of life, if you don't have a personal 139 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,640 relationship with him, if you don't decide, you don't make a 140 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,280 concrete decision to to actually forget certain things that is 141 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,000 behind you and to look forward to what He's showing you, He 142 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,600 will come. And as beautifully as you are 143 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,080 seated here in the praise of God, He will tell you, I do not 144 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,880 know you. And it's been very painful. 145 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,160 Let's check our lives. Let's check our prayer lives. 146 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,800 Let's check our quiet times. How do you spend time with God 147 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,920 now? Keep what keeps our what keeps 148 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,920 us bound and unfocused. That is the next thing I want to 149 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,920 talk about. What keeps you and I bound and 150 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,840 unfocused? There are certain things that 151 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,680 keeps us bound that up to now we claim you have accepted Jesus, 152 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:35,960 but we cannot forego those things. 153 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,040 And those things have become like chains. 154 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,040 You see, the devil doesn't care if you become a Christian. 155 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,000 That is 1 his problem. And you know what it does to 156 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,760 some of us? He will tie you with a chain. 157 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,880 That chain is an attitude or a character or something. 158 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,280 And you'll be praying for a long time. 159 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,040 You want to change. You want to change, but your 160 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,560 action and your prayer doesn't match. 161 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,720 You tell the Lord you have changed yet you go back. 162 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,280 He can give you a limit. The devil has given some of us 163 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,240 one week as a limit. Some of us has given us one 164 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,440 month as a limit. So some of us can be serious 165 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,120 with God for one week. And after you realize that after 166 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,960 one week you go back to how you are. 167 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,640 Some of us can be so serious with God for one month. 168 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,040 I will judge us for one month. After one month, let me to know 169 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,960 He'll pull you back. Some of us can be serious with 170 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,080 God for a day. And after a day you go back to 171 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,680 what you're doing. So it's like a cycle. 172 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:36,200 You cannot break out. As the song said this morning, 173 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,000 we are praying that we will live a concentrated life. 174 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,000 We are praying that every limited person here will become 175 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,560 limitless. Every chain will be broken in 176 00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:51,720 the mighty name of Jesus. Now some of these chains are 177 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,880 that I cannot do spirit these chains I'm talking I'm talking 178 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,120 about some of this is I cannot do because the Lord wants you to 179 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,640 do and you are saying I cannot do it is a limitation. 180 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,440 You have been elected as a leader to do this. 181 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,440 You have been called for rehearsals, you have been called 182 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,920 to clean up, You have been called to preach the word 183 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,600 limitation, I cannot do it. Limitation, I have somewhere to 184 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,200 go limitation. I don't think I'm the right 185 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,200 person. Whatever limitation you have set 186 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,880 for yourself this morning, begin to cancel it in the mighty name 187 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,520 of Jesus, because that is not part of the will of God for you. 188 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,240 Bible says that I did not call you towards to disgrace you. 189 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,560 That is not a reason why God called you so Past failures and 190 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,720 regrets. That is one of the things, one 191 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,720 of the things that bounces past failures. 192 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,280 You failed and So what are you the first person to fail? 193 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,520 You are not married and So what are you the only single person? 194 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,440 You don't have money and So what are you the only person without 195 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,160 money? You've started a business and 196 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,840 the managers got furnished. You're not the first person to 197 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,040 experience whatever you are experiencing in life. 198 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:17,040 When the devil wants to actually make you stagnant. 199 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,520 When there's a problem, he advises you to give the problem 200 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,280 a seat. Obama, Ohano, Akunya, so on. 201 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,640 Then you begin to meditate on the words, on the problem. 202 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,440 Why am I, Why are my people treating me like this? 203 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,840 Why am I alone in this world? Why are things happening to me 204 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,760 like this? When it happens like that, you 205 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,520 are giving the problem a seat. But I recall that in the will of 206 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,440 God, Bible is telling us that meditate on the word of God day 207 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,280 and night. Day that wait upon the Lord 208 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,840 shall renew their strength. Even their youth gets weary. 209 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,520 The Bible is aware that you will get tired at a time, but he told 210 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,160 us that when you get tired, begin to wait upon the Lord, 211 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,960 because at that particular time, when you start waiting upon the 212 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,880 Lord, you shall renew your strength and you shall mount 213 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:18,360 wings like what an eagle. Hallelujah, this morning may we 214 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,040 live above every problem. You see, if you are together 215 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,360 with God, you know the problems of this earth is on only earth. 216 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,240 It doesn't cross the earth. Hello, I want you to put this 217 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,480 picture in your mind. The problem of this earth is on 218 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,680 this earth.

And we are living above this 221 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,200 earth. We are living together with 222 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,400 Jesus on the throne of mercy.

Recognize your position, 227 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,960 Recognize where you are. If you are living on this earth, 228 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,040 begin to ascend. Begin to ascend through your 229 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,760 concentrated life. So past failures and regrets, 230 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,520 push them aside. In the mighty name of Jesus. 231 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,280 People's opinion and expectation, push them aside. 232 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,640 They are expecting this from you. 233 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,080 They are expecting this from you. 234 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,000 I'm expecting you to finish university by now. 235 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,200 Pressure.

Some of us will always want to 253 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,240 watch post something on social media for people to comments and 254 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,000 later we know if you feel good about ourselves, please we 255 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,160 should stop doing that. However you feel about yourself 256 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,000 or however you want to feel about yourself. 257 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,280 The Bible has stated it. If you are someone who meditates 258 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,800 on the word of God day and night, it changes the way you 259 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,080 feel.

For when you love the world you 265 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,200 do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world 266 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,120 offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for 267 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,120 everything we see, a pride in our achievement and possession. 268 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,960 These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And 269 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,680 this world is fading away along with everything that people 270 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,120 crave.

Sorry, how to live a life of 274 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,920 concentration? First of all, define your 275 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,280 purpose. Define your purpose. 276 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,320 If you are here and you are confused about your life, you 277 00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:06,600 begin to ask certain strange questions about your own life. 278 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,840 Redefine your purpose. Why are you seated here? 279 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,040 Do you want to be part of a group? 280 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,160 Or I want your name to be part of escape to English assembly. 281 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,160 Define your purpose in life that when I say define your purpose, 282 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:28,200 it means that ask yourself why am I here on earth when you 283 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,480 understand God's giving purpose. It's easier to say no to 284 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,280 distractions. If you are already having a 285 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,880 purpose, you if you are already married, it is. 286 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,240 It's easier to say no to a man when he tells you I'm interested 287 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,000 in you because you're already married and you are in love with 288 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000 your husband or your wife. So you can easily say no if you 289 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,200 don't have a purpose that they will give you. 1 So begin to ask 290 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,360 yourself what is my purpose? So if you are able to ask 291 00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:00,960 yourself why you are here, how about Cook chapter 2 verse 2 It 292 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,280 says that. Then the Lord said to me, write 293 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,800 my answers plainly on tablets. When you, Rick and James said 294 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,360 that. Write the vision and make it 295 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,640 plain. Let us know you know your 296 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,960 purpose. You need to know yourself. 297 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,240 What is your purpose? Write it and make it plain. 298 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,000 You have to know. Your purpose, if not this world 299 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320 will give you one. This world will cage you. 300 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,920 Don't make you believe that until you go for screening, you 301 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,440 will not succeed in life and you go and die. 302 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,320 Look at what happened to some some people who are planning to 303 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,800 be soldiers. 5 ladies or 6 ladies just died, ended their 304 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,400 life. One was a teacher who was 305 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,360 teaching we we. It is good to to be ambitious, 306 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:53,160 to have good things you want to do in life, but make sure that 307 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,600 you are doing it according to the will of God. 308 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,080 Because the Lord. Also protects his own. 309 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,440 This world has. Planned our life in the form of 310 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,480 timetable. Now the moment you are born, in 311 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,840 the next 6 months you are supposed to have teeth. 312 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,040 You are supposed to do this.

Your child has not gone to 317 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,480 school. The world has a timetable. 318 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,680 Class 1 and our class of four years. 319 00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:40,920 I'm done with my SHS. I'm in the house and I want to 320 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,560 ask you what is the last purpose for you? 321 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:47,320 Find your purpose don't work according to the timetable of 322 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,760 this world.

What I'm saying is if you are 325 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,520 not careful and you do not walk in the will of God, you will not 326 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,280 understand certain things. Hallelujah. 327 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,000 Now the next thing you have to do is to discipline your mind 328 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,160 and your time, running with God's purpose. 329 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,360 See, now let's say God has given you a purpose. 330 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:16,400 You are aware of your purpose.

When you read first. 371 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,680 Corinthians Chapter 9 verse 24 to 27, it says that do you 372 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:38,760 realize that a race or don't you realize that in a race everyone 373 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,920 runs in a race everybody runs, but only one person gets the 374 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,120 prize. We've been watching this 375 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,680 athletics. You see them stretching some of 376 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,560 them. If you look at the way they are 377 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,880 stretching and the way they are, they are doing this as we nearly 378 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,080 and you see the way they are built and they are going about 379 00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:59,840 doing this and they are as if they have won. 380 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,720 But let's the person having the the the how do you call it your 381 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,640 crowd banner. Let a person just sound the 382 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,560 whole thing all shoots and let's see those who prepared and those 383 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,040 who didn't want to prepare in this race. 384 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,000 Those who prepared will show at the final end. 385 00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,920 So is it as they? Are running, some people are 386 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,120 running, we all start the same. But you realize some people are 387 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:31,240 leaving some people, others are moving faster, others are moving 388 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,160 slow. And so you get to the end. 389 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,560 Jesus Christ is at the end of what? 390 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,720 The final you. See that there's a rope here. 391 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,600 Christ is at the end waiting for us. 392 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,680 People will run. Bible says run in such a way 393 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,040 that you will win the prize in such a way. 394 00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:51,680 So it means there's a way that you run that you know, win the 395 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,800 prize. Others are running like this. 396 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,280 They are on the rain track like this. 397 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,560 They are modelling. Others will stand by and drink 398 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,440 water. Small Christ is standing at the 399 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,720 water, the last and waiting for us to come for the price. 400 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,880 Others have forgotten they are racing. 401 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,800 This life is a race. It will be painful to die when 402 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,960 you have not completed your race. 403 00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:15,760 May the Lord help you to complete. 404 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,760 When you continue. It says that they do it to win a 405 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:27,000 prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 406 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,560 So I run with purpose. Say I run with purpose. 407 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,160 Oh, say I run with purpose. See even if. 408 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,320 We come for prayers. That should be a purpose. 409 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,560 Everything you do that should be a purpose. 410 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,920 Don't do it because people are doing it, Paul says. 411 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,480 I run with purpose. I run with purpose in every 412 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,600 step. Every step, every every step 413 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,400 should be victory. Every step should be victory 414 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,960 should lead you to victory. Everything you do should not 415 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,680 bring you back. So rather what move you forward. 416 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,600 Hallelujah, may the Lord order your steps. 417 00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:13,160 I am not just a shadow boxer or I'm not shadow boxing fighting 418 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,280 with the air. When you go and meet someone 419 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,240 fighting with the air, you might think the person is mad as I 420 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,920 discipline my what? My body in some of the versions 421 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,280 says that I make my body a slave. 422 00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:26,520 May the Lord give you that. Strength. 423 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,320 To make your. Body a slave. 424 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,680 He is the devil in disguise. This flesh is the devil in 425 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,600 disguise. If you have not seen Santa 426 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,280 before, this is Satan, the devil in disguise. 427 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,640 It is my prayer. The Lord will give you the 428 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,160 strength to make your body a slave. 429 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,680 So to make your body a slave simply means that you you tell 430 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,240 your body went to sleep. I mean, the spirit man within 431 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,840 you controls the body. You tell your body at dawn. 432 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,080 We have to pray. You tell your body. 433 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,320 I eat. At this time you realize that 434 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,560 there's a particular change of attitude. 435 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,080 When you continue to do it, the body adopts. 436 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:14,160 If you are someone who eats at 6:00 AM, Anopa Anopa tea Brodo 437 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,320 Kosia shop every six AM. You'll be hungry. 438 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,960 So depending on that training you give your body, it will be 439 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,360 what's adjusted to that particular training. 440 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,360 So one of the things or the greatest thing I can tell you in 441 00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:35,000 concentration is to make your body a slave will be done in the 442 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,280 next 10 minutes. Make your body a slave. 443 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,920 Now the next thing to do is also to be very careful at the end. 444 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,240 Paul said that. I discipline. 445 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:54,040 My body like an athlete, training it to do what it 446 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,000 showed. Otherwise, I fear that after 447 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,720 preaching to others, I myself might be disqualified. 448 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,400 Empire and, well, you. So Crystal demo. 449 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,960 After preaching to. Someone you yourself might be 450 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,400 disqualified. So sometimes when you are at 451 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,760 your peak, allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you. 452 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,720 There is a net, there is a net they cast for people who think 453 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,600 they are. Odds are the odds at the peak. 454 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,320 I don't like it when they praise me. 455 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,280 Because when you praise. Me is like you're casting a net 456 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,000 for me between them. They're too much. 457 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,640 But when you are corrected, you showed them. 458 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,480 So let's stretch out our hands and bless our presiding elder. 459 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,760 Some of you think what? He's doing. 460 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,560 He doesn't know what he's doing when he corrects your mistake. 461 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,320 Or shower them. You might think that praises is 462 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,320 less, but that the correction is more. 463 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,360 How you are good. Hey, you are good. 464 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,720 Oh, you are very good with me all day. 465 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,360 Bible says that they create a nest. 466 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,800 A nest or a net for your feet. It's like a trap. 467 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,040 I can easily make you forget your stand. 468 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,760 Now. Depend on the Holy Spirit, 469 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,280 depend on the Holy Ghost. You can never do anything 470 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,200 without depending on the Holy Spirit. 471 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,000 See this morning, if you are here and you don't know anything 472 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,960 about Christ, please make the Holy Ghost your friend. 473 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,200 Make the Holy Spirit your friend. 474 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,760 If you don't know the Holy Spirit, please start from today. 475 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,800 If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal 476 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,240 Savior, do it today. If you don't know the Holy 477 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,800 Ghost, make him your friend, because he's the person who can 478 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,520 even tell you what has not happened. 479 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,560 He compels you to take the right steps. 480 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,200 He will call you. Hey, Dignas. 481 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,120 Eva. Today the car you're about to 482 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,680 board. Don't take that car. 483 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,840 It has happened before. It's not a story to one of our 484 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,720 elders. The few minutes you see that the 485 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,440 car has got in an accident. The Holy Spirit is a friend. 486 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,760 Going to heaven is not a joke. It's not easy. 487 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,760 It's not easy. So if you leave the Holy Spirit 488 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,160 out, trust me, you do everything in the flesh, you pray in the 489 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,360 flesh, you sink in the flesh, you read in the flesh, you pay 490 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,000 your tides in the flesh, everything in the flesh. 491 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,840 And you know when the flesh begin to control, you obey a 492 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,400 mass even in your tides, you begin to do calculations in your 493 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,920 tides. So Bible says in John that I 494 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,960 must decrease, that he may increase in me. 495 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,720 May that be your portion this morning in the mighty name of 496 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,000 Jesus. What is the result for a 497 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,440 concentrated life? What is the result? 498 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:50,160 One, when you leave a focused, spiritual filled life, you work 499 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,400 in peace. Now when I say you work in 500 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,200 peace, it's because you are not scattered. 501 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,680 You are not scattered. Oh, you see, when you are not 502 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,600 scattered, you work in peace because you know all your 503 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,560 concentration is under the cross. 504 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,040 Hey, it doesn't matter what your business is failing. 505 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,160 You know the person you are worshipping. 506 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,280 It doesn't matter if you are sick, you know the person you 507 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,240 are worshipping. It doesn't matter if you don't 508 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,000 have money. You know the person you are 509 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,040 worshipping. Your mind is not scattered, it 510 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,320 is buried under the cross of Jesus. 511 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:29,320 So you have peace. So let us learn as people of God 512 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,360 to bring all our worries to the cross. 513 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,400 Don't tell your friend, don't tell your pastor, don't tell 514 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,280 your elder. We can only advise you, but as a 515 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,920 greater friend. Who is more than your? 516 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,200 Pastor more than your father. Who can advise? 517 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,320 You who can direct you and that is the Holy Spirit 2 you 518 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,520 experience progress. This thing is one of my prayer 519 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,240 for each and everyone experiencing progress at the end 520 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,120 of this year. Who's the last year but this 521 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,400 year May Drew say, may it be your portion in the mighty name 522 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:11,280 of Jesus to experience progress by the end of this year. 523 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,760 Every spirit of delay. May it be destroyed? 524 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,640 In Jesus name. Bible says that. 525 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,320 I will restore all your wasted years. 526 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,840 So I cut 2 months to the end of this year. 527 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,400 May the Lord give your heart's desire. 528 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,040 In the mighty. Name of Jesus. 529 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,520 You achieve purpose. So you see the purpose, you 530 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,360 should be able to achieve it because you pursue what God 531 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:45,160 wants for you every morning. God, I'm Apple. 532 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,720 It is you who granted in my life. 533 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,280 What should I do? What should I do? 534 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,840 Just ask that question and go. That is all. 535 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600 The instructions will begin to watch, begin to come. 536 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:59,560 You become powerful because your attention fuels your anointing, 537 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,720 Hallelujah. Your attention fuels your 538 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,000 anointing. Hallelujah. 539 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,400 If you want to see someone who has anointing, the person has a 540 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,760 special attention for the Lord. Your attention will fuel your 541 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,199 anointing. Musicians, if you want to move 542 00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:16,800 far, your attention will fuel your anointing. 543 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,280 Have time for the Lord. Ministry leaders, if you want to 544 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,040 move far, your attention must fuel your anointing. 545 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,159 So if you see a. Leader who has no power. 546 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,880 It means that their. Attention is buried somewhere 547 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,320 else because there is no one who will bury his attention in 548 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,400 Christ and will not be anointed. A laser light. 549 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,320 A laser light. We all know a laser light. 550 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,440 The moment all the beam is focused at a particular ground, 551 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,639 it will cut through. Why? 552 00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:56,040 Because they are all one chief worker said prior laser. 553 00:34:56,199 --> 00:35:00,120 It can cut through metal because all the beam is directed in the 554 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,480 same way. In the same way, or likewise. 555 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,000 Believers focus on God. Can breakthrough limitations 556 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,280 give God all your attention?

The same person who was saying 570 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:15,000 that one thing I must watch one man, one thing I must forget, or 571 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,800 one thing I must leave behind. And because I was able to do 572 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,000 that, that same person is giving a testimony that I have fought 573 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,480 the good fights and I have finished the race and I have 574 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,640 remained faithful.

People eat and you are healed. 587 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,400 And you don't understand. What happened? 588 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,240 May the Lord cause that to be your portion in Jesus name, 589 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:28,960 Amen.

Amen, Unleashed to live a life 592 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,720 of consecration this morning when I was baffing. 593 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,760 The Lord told. Me today he's going to anoint 594 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,040 his church. So when? 595 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,000 I heard the voice, I was laughing. 596 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,200 I say, ah, there is a Church of God. 597 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,560 Not anointed. So when I came and then service 598 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,560 started and Brother Kingsford and the wife entered. 599 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:11,440 Today they came at 7:55. And then I heard. 600 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,360 Again, I have told you that today I'm going to anoint my 601 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,040 church. And then? 602 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:27,240 He said when I anoint my church, when I anoint my church, 603 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,480 ordinary things does not take place, things that are normal 604 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,760 are changed. Amen. 605 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:44,800 So when I. Started preaching, then I this 606 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,200 picture came to my mind. You know the Church of 607 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,320 Pentecost, we do a lot of dedication. 608 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,160 Another word for consecration is dedication. 609 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,560 When we. Buy this flower. 610 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,680 We pray over it, right? When we pray over it, what it 611 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,880 means is that it's been dedicated, it's been consecrated 612 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,640 for the Lord. So what it means is that it's 613 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,320 been set aside. It is for the Lord. 614 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:19,000 It is no more an ordinary son. So what Elder is trying to tell 615 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:24,440 us this evening is that the life God has given unto us, it is no 616 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:29,360 more ours. Our life belongs to God and I 617 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,160 want to believe that is the reason why God said He will 618 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,960 anoint His Church. The reason why he. 619 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:41,000 Will anoint us is because our life does not belong to us. 620 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,000 Amen. And let me say this then we pray 621 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,880 when God says he will anoint. It doesn't. 622 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:56,600 Matter your record, it doesn't matter who you are. 623 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:02,160 He is the sole decision taker. And the word is. 624 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,960 That He will anoint, and He has confirmed with his weight and 625 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,400 life of consecration. So this morning, if you are 626 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,040 here, the Lord is telling us that your life belongs to Him. 627 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,280 Amen. Shall we be on our feet? 628 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:34,320 Take my life and consecrate and Lord. 629 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:57,360 Of course, when your. Life is consecrated. 630 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:05,240 Everything about your life will praise God when your life is 631 00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:08,080 consecrated. Everything. 632 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:15,120 About your life will praise God. Let me say this, when your life 633 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:20,600 is consecrated, everything about your life is pleasant to God. 634 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,560 When you are consecrated, you live a holy and a righteous 635 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:31,000 life. When you are consecrated, you 636 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,520 live an intentional life. Amen. 637 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,920 If you can, please raise your hands. 638 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:46,120 Some of us we are not consecrated by God is saying 639 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,880 that He has anointed us. And here I. 640 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,560 See God demonstrating his mercy upon us, Jesus, I we shouldn't 641 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,080 take God's mercy for granted. Jesus, should I be God? 642 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,120 Some of you the way I know you, what I will do to you, but. 643 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,640 His word. Is. 644 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,680 Final and his word says that he has anointed you. 645 00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:13,360 So now that he has given us his weight, if I should be you, I'll 646 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,800 align my life with the word. Of God. 647 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:27,360 Deep.
