  41. any price if you really believed in it. If you

  42. really believed in it, you would pay any price.

  43. Come on, come on, let's be honest.

  44. If you really want it, need it, it doesn't become

  45. an excuse anymore. You would pay for that shoe. You

  46. will pay for their car. You will pay for the house,

  47. you will pay for their holiday, You will pay for

  48. that fine, you will pay the interest, You will go

  49. the second mile for your favorite restaurant. How far is

  50. this restaurant? One and a half hours? But I love

  51. the bakuta there. The baku day is made in heaven,

  52. and in heaven I know that I won't be eating

  53. it anymore so.

  54. Because Jesus doesn't Eatopnom's kidding.

  55. I'm kidding. We eat manna in heaven. You know Mana,

  57. Every mother here. You love your son, you pay the price.

  58. You love your daughter, You pay the price. You love

  59. your wife. You know she really likes that. You'll pay

  60. the price. You save up for it. We only make

  61. excuses when we stop believing. Come on, so what's the

  62. real stone in Master's life? What's the real stone? What's

  63. the stone that needs to be rolled away?

  64. Unbelief?

  65. And he said, did nine can not tell you? If

  66. you believe, you will see the glory of God. Can

  67. I speak this to all of your lives? I love you,

  68. I love God's Church, and I want you to prosper.

  69. Everyone in this room, I really want you to prosper.

  70. I really want you to do very well. Believe me, Okay,

  71. I didn't start this church out so that all of

  72. us can fail.

  73. By the grace of.

  74. God, this church was started so that you can be

  75. blessed with abundant life. I want you to succeed. I

  76. want you to do well. If I can look into

  77. all of your eyes, I will tell you that I

  78. want you to do well. I want you to break through.

  79. I want you to have new testimonies. But it's going

  80. to take believing. John twenty twenty seven, twenty nine. Reach

  81. your finger here and look at my hands. And reach

  82. your hand here and put it into my side. Do

  83. not come on be unbelieving. These are the words of

  84. Jesus himself, but believing. And Thomas answered and said to him,

  85. my Lord, and oh my God. Jesus said to him, Thomas,

  86. because you have seen me, you have believed. Come on,

  87. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed,

  88. Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters. It takes believing to

  89. build a great church. It takes believing to build a

  90. good marriage. It takes believing to build a strong company.

  91. Those of you who are bosses or your own company

  92. are when your staff stop believing that you know on

  93. of course, the excuse stuff, why.

  94. You came late, why you go back slowly. Why you

  95. ever finished your work? Why you didn't do it? I

  96. told you. Excuse us, excuse us, excuse us.

  97. The real deal is they don't believe as much as

  98. they did when you first gave them the job. Of course, sadly,

  99. maybe they never believed and they wanted the job because

  100. they needed the pay. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, we cannot

  101. build anything great, not even a great country, if you

  102. don't believe with all your heart. Blessed are those means?

  103. You means me? We are blessed when we have not

  104. yet seen, but we believe. Okay, let me give you

  105. three words very quickly. Unbelieve achieves nothing. The Lord told

  106. me this many years ago when ex Church was still

  107. young actually is twenty six years old, by the way,

  108. and when Exius was one.

  109. Year old, two year old.

  110. The Lord said to me, Kenneth, I want to tell

  111. you right now, and you better believe it. Unbelieve achieved nothing.

  112. I actually came out with a design you a n

  113. and I put it into a T shirt and I

  114. sold it to myself because the time your church was

  115. very small. Unbelieve achieves nothing. Tell me that you have

  116. achieved something very amazing. Through unbelief, and I'll stop the message.

  117. Now tell me that.

  118. You have built a great testimony by not believing at all.

  119. Let's just throw my notes. Now tell me that you

  120. build a great family, a great house, a great company

  121. by half hearted belief, and I say, let's go home now.

  122. Then why do you keep something so useless and valueless,

  123. caught unbelief in your system when he achieves nothing? Why

  124. still keep it in your heart? Why is he keeping

  125. in your storage in your brain?

  126. It's useless? Check it out.

  127. If you want to be healer, believe, don't come out

  128. to the author half believing you will not receive anything.

  129. Don't turn to each other and pray for each.

  130. Other, half believing maybe God, maybe maybe maybe he loves me,

  131. maybe he doesn't. This is not Christianity. Christianity is believe

  132. with all your heart. That's why God always wants all.

  133. He says, love the Lord your God with He always

  134. wants all, because you cannot give all without believing.

  135. Everybody.

  136. Okay, very important for we walk by face, not by side.

  137. Side is when you calcolate, do mathematics in your mind. Kennah, Kennah,

  138. I spoke to one brother just recently I'm discipling him.

  139. He asked me, past, can you please disciple me?

  140. So I said, okay.

  141. So if somebody asked me to disciple them, you know

  142. that it becomes my commitment and I will be there.

  143. And so I'm discipling this guy. And he tells me

  144. reasons why he hasn't served in church even though he's

  145. been in that church for three years.

  146. Excuse us, excuse us, excuse us. So I prayed before

  147. I went to see him. I said, Lord, what word

  148. do you have for this man today? And Lord gave

  149. me the word.

  150. I went and I said, brother, the Lord told me,

  151. you'll tell you why after three years you're still not

  152. serving in his house. And then he gave me about

  153. three excuses. He has to do mainly with his work.

  154. He has a very good job. Very good job pays

  155. in the tens of thousands. But excuse, excuse, excuse. I said, brother,

  156. God loves you, you know that, right. And I also said,

  157. I love you, you know that right. I'm gonna say something

  158. to you. All your excuses is by sight, because I

  159. can see you see, I can see my schedule like this.

  160. Therefore I can see I cannot I can see that

  161. maybe my boss needs me to play golf on Sunday,

  162. So therefore I don't think I can say yes to

  163. Albert when he calls me to worship leave. I can

  164. see that my children might cry at the time that

  165. I go for worship practice, so therefore I can't go

  166. for words.

  167. I can see that my wife might get I.

  168. Can see, you know, you calculate with our minds. We

  169. are going by side. I can see that maybe there

  170. is a long weekend and I won't be around you.

  171. See you see how far I can see maybe it's

  172. a long weekend. Who told you is the long weekend?

  173. But I can see. Do you know how when you

  174. have excuses, you can see a lot of things on

  175. there are not there. I can see that maybe my

  176. children will be sick three months from now. Hello, I

  177. can see that maybe maybe I can't see you're calculating.

  178. But the Bible says, don't live by side, live by faith,

  179. where even if you can't see.

  180. You still believe.

  181. So then he said to me, pastor, actually the Lord

  182. has been speaking to me for months, but now today

  183. you have come to confirm it. I said, you know, angry, mere, better,

  184. don't be angry in here. I didn't become your pastor.

  185. To me, you're angry on I became your pastor so

  186. that I can disciple you in the way of the

  187. Lord and see you prosper. So he turned to me

  188. and said, the pastor today your confirmation. I must act

  189. on it. Even though I don't know whether my boss

  190. will send me overseas or not. I don't know whether

  191. at that time I will go oversea.

  192. I don't know.

  193. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. But

  194. one thing I know, I must serve the house of God.

  195. You know, when I left the discipleship meeting her, he

  196. took the phone and he called his pastor, all right,

  197. his local pastor, and said, I don't know what will happen,

  198. but I'm signing up now. He signed up by faith.

  199. And then you watch and see God open doors for him. Watch,

  200. because God is no man's debtor.

  201. He will move on your behalf.

  202. But God doesn't move by sight, He moves by faith.

  203. Without faith, is it impossible, It's impossible to please God.

  204. So let me move on. Believing is powerful. Somebody say, amen, oh, yes,

  205. it's very powerful. I've never seen a miracle done in

  206. the Bible without believing water turn into wine. Not only

  207. the mother had to believe. Hey, do whatever he tells you,

  208. mother said. The mother said, do whatever he tells you.

  209. So Mary believed. The very people that Paul what into

  210. the sixth jars also had to believe, even.

  211. Though they believe blindly, but they believe.

  212. And then Jesus scooped out that water turn into wine

  213. and is the best wine. I want to confess, declare

  214. and prophesy on you that your best wine is before you.

  215. If you believe, you say amen, say I receive it. Lord,

  216. your best life, your best wine, your best contract, your

  217. best pay, your best bonus, your best promotion. Come on,

  218. just fill those water pots with water. What does water

  219. mean In the Bible, it speaks about the word. So

  220. fill your hearts and your lives with the Word of God.

  221. Because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word

  222. Romans ten seventeen. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by

  223. let the water pots. All of us are jazz of clay.

  224. So let the water pots we fill with the water,

  225. and then let God move. So who's supposed to roll

  226. away the stone? You and I? And then you let

  227. God do the miracle. Don't worry about the miracle first.

  228. Do your part first, and your part in my part

  229. is not to wait for God to roll away the stone,

  230. but to roll it away. He said to Martha, take

  231. away the stone, Martha, he says to Kenneth, take away

  232. the stone, Canneth, the stone of unbelief. Believing makes the

  233. impossible possible.
