Wisdom Bible Church the. Church of A.
-
Distant Christian narration forgetfulness can make you miss
-
blessings Forgetfulness can make you.
-
Miss opportunities. Forgetfulness.
-
Can deny you the best that God has ordained for you
-
forgetfulness compress you as somebody irresponsible whereas.
-
You are not. I pray in the name.
-
Of Jesus, whatever. Is important that you are
-
supposed to give attention. To.
-
So. The reason?
-
I have come to remind you. Is.
-
Because I don't want you to live in the.
-
World of forgetfulness. Forgetfulness is a common
-
tendency in every. Man, you may.
-
Say it is most common with. Old man.
-
Very common among young. People among young people.
-
What are you thinking of? Not much.
-
Responsibility yet if you think that you have to give attention
-
to. You are ignoring them.
-
I don't blame. You.
-
It's a common tendency in every. Man the.
-
Worst form of? Forgetfulness is to.
-
Forget your purpose. In life.
-
Purpose. Just many.
-
Of you that are not living in the consciousness of your
-
purpose is reminder. Bring back the consciousness of
-
your purpose in the name of. Jesus.
-
One of the antidote or medicine or solution to forgetfulness is
-
to have a man in your life who reminds you.
-
So reminder. Is the antidote to
-
forgetfulness. You must not lack in your.
-
Life people that are always there to quicken your memory to
-
your purpose. In life.
-
So my ministry this morning is a very simple.
-
One is to. Follow after the pattern of.
-
Apostle Paul one. Of the things he did in his
-
letter to the church in Colus. You wear it 17.
-
So quicken the memory of that. Man.
-
So that. We give.
-
Attention to that which is very. Paramount Chapter 4.
-
Verse 17. Colossians 417.
-
You will, Colossae. And say to Archipos, Are you
-
there? And say to Archipos, take it to
-
the ministry without as deceive in the Lord that thou fulfill.
-
It is a message of reminder. Yes, he said.
-
I said he what he? Said to aquifers.
-
It means. In that church.
-
Or too much, depending. Me, Johnny.
-
Aquifers was a man with calling upon his life.
-
But it's so clear. That his ministry was missing in
-
the church if you look. At this church.
-
If you look at 6 church. About with joy and.
-
It. Appears certain things are
-
missing. Is very very possible.
-
You are a ministry. You have a.
-
Duty. But you are.
-
Yet to wake up to that duty. You have.
-
Been endowed with certain giftings.
-
But those gifts are not. Being used to.
-
My web money OH. Look in.
-
This church. Help me to inform that you
-
should take what was been sent and sure you do that duty
-
diligently and in full. Hallelujah.
-
Amen. I said to Hakipas.
-
Yes, before Hakipu. Take him to the ministry without
-
us. Receive in the law that thou
-
fulfill it. Yes, he said.
-
He said better. Than many of.
-
US. And.
-
He has done better than many of us.
-
How do I say? That.
-
I said that because he has an awareness, he has a
-
consciousness that is. Calling upon.
-
His. Life.
-
They. Are not there to serve.
-
So I am here to. Tell you natural.
-
Talent and spiritual they. Are meant for.
-
The work of. And God is counting.
-
On you. Take up the ministry.
-
That. You fulfilling tell.
-
You and. Let you know that when we talk
-
about the church, the church is a worship center.
-
But. The church is not only a worship
-
center. Hello now.
-
That you come here regularly to worship.
-
But. There are other dimension of the
-
purpose of the church that you need to fit.
-
Into the. Church is also a training Center
-
for both Kingdom service and. Community relevance are.
-
You with me so if your relationship to the church is
-
only to. Worship, you have not.
-
Fulfilled all right. Thank God.
-
That you have seen the church as a worship center.
-
But it's not yet excellent. Am I talking to?
-
Somebody. Relate with the church as a
-
worship center. Relate with the Church also as a
-
training Center for both Kingdom service and for community.
-
Yourself. Yeah, your sense what?
-
Are. You doing your?
-
Best Kingdom. Service.
-
Where are you? Standing.
-
In community relevance. On.
-
What scale can we? Put you so.

As a child of. God, you come.
-
To a charter. But in addition.
-
To burn Yeah people. Must present yourself.

To be. Trained for Kingdom service and
-
for community. Relevance.
-
Thank God. We have sang and danced very
-
well. In church.
-
You. Know.
-
You are not in charge to only sing, you are equally here to
-
serve. You are not in charge to.
-
Only sing you are. Equally, you have to do what?
-
So I love the way you dance so well.
-
You know. What else are you useful for?
-
Here. What else can we say you are
-
adding to this church? As a value.
-
We got to try to pray is part of our.
-
Worship and I. Have said.
-
We see. We come here to pray is part of
-
our. Worship and.
-
Always to pray and not to slack, let me tell you.
-
After. The.
-
Prayer. You are also here to participate
-
in the other activities of the. Church so we.
-
Pray in church. The church.
-
Also has a responsibility of evangelism to.
-
The world outside there. Hello, we play church.
-
The church. Also have that responsibility to
-
take the gospel to other people that are not in church.
-
To what? Degree are you involved in other
-
activities and obligations of the.
-
As you come, do you see it as a necessity to bring others?
-
With you, you. Come, you hear?
-
Messages, you scream. Wow, we've never had it.
-
In this dimension before. People, are you sharing those
-
messages? With and the charge has made.
-
It so comfortable for you and the charge has made it so
-
comfortable. For you that.
-
This message. Is even.
-
Before you leave. Your phone they.
-
Still make such snippets of this message.
-
I am a banker, therefore I cannot join evangelism on
-
Saturday. I'm a.
-
Medical lab student every time I enter the laboratory so.
-
So. Much stress that I cannot be
-
available for some. Little things.
-
That you can do that can turn out to become a great available
-
on your phone that you can just spare some data and spare some
-
meaning to just press. So you are not just here to
-
pray. You are.
-
Also here to participate in other activities of the church.
-
When you worship God, God committed himself to blessing
-
you. So one of the things we enjoy in
-
the ministry of the choice that every time we come we are
-
blessed. You have been.
-
Blessed thank you Jesus, blessing upon all.
-
However, you are not in charge to just receive blessings.
-
You are to equally. Become a blessing to others.
-
Don't. Just live the life of a consumer
-
Christian. Also the life of a producing and
-
propagative. Your smile can be a blessing to
-
somebody your. Smile.
-
Hello, Isa. Party party with 1000 out of
-
20,000 OK as a gift to somebody can be a blessing to.
-
Other AM. I talking to somebody your phone
-
call brother, how are you doing? How is your study can be a
-
blessing to somebody? Your short.
-
Text message my. Pastor for the.
-
Messages we are preaching to all this is my testimony your
-
ministry is a blessing to our life can be an encouragement to
-
our pastor to be more diligent in.
-
This ministry. Stepping out of your room,
-
crossing the road to visit a sister in church, to visit a
-
brother in church can be an employment to a brother that is
-
not alone is not forgotten. You may not know that, brother.
-
You see, dancing and jumping in church is an offer.
-
Oh, OK, so if. You can testify that
-
administration of the choir is blessing your life.
-
In what way are you blessing the?
-
Choir back. So coming to church on a Sunday.
-
You. Buy a pack of soft drink and
-
after the after the church. You said this is for choir.
-
You have been a blessing to all that is wonderful.
-
Hallelujah, Amen. Hallelujah, Amen.
-
That is a way that you that cannot stand with them in Riazza
-
all night. Riazza pray out fasting.
-
OK. That's on that way of you also
-
encouraging them to be more effective in their. 100,000
-
naira. Oh 100,000 naira.
-
Come by. All of them.
-
AM I talking to? Somebody.
-
And I'll tell you that there are people in this church.
-
Most use of our company. Fashion designer.
-
For them. Free in the in the way that
-
angels we see them. And salute
-
them. So for all of this, we happen if
-
you have a mind to serve, if you have a mind not to just be
-
coming to watch the to warm the. So you are in charge to receive
-
blessing. Wonderful.
-
But you are. To equally become a blessing to
-
all this the Church is a city of prosperity.
-
And I want to believe that God has blessed a number of you in
-
this place. Mostly better, but we pay a
-
loyalty buku. But you need to also factor into
-
your, into your thinking, into your principle that the Church
-
is equally a Kingdom for responsibilities.
-
To buy and you know Latiman, you can.
-
Testify that indeed this is a city of prosperity.
-
You must also know that it is a city of prosperity because some
-
people have accepted responsibility to join the
-
prayer squad. They have accepted the
-
responsibility to join the evangelism team.
-
They have accepted responsibility to to join the
-
chorister. They have accepted
-
responsibility to be Bible study teachers.
-
They have accepted responsibility to do one thing
-
or the other. They have accepted
-
responsibility to be among the sanctuary keeper is the reason
-
you come here. And the atmosphere is convenient
-
for the man of God to minister and for the Angel to distribute
-
prosperity. You working?
-
You working? 9:30 AM. 11:30 AM You are out of
-
here some. People.
-
Have been here earlier than 7. AM and they.
-
Are not living here until past 2:00 PM.
-
If every. Other person behave like you.
-
This place will. Be dirty.
-
Will not function. Am I talking to somebody?
-
It's a city of prosperity. Those who?
-
Have committed themselves never to fail in their time, never to
-
fail in their house. Never to.
-
Finance the Kingdom. You want everything to be there,
-
but you are not ready to give anything to.
-
It. Is God.
-
Reminding somebody. However, the problem we have,
-
why we have that wrong attitude, is this.
-
We talk about ministry it. Means become a.
-
Pastor that he should not forget to fulfill the ministry that God
-
has. Called him to.
-
It was not likely a ministry to be an apostle.
-
It was not likely a ministry to be an evangelist.
-
It was not likely to be a ministry to be a pastor.
-
It was not likely to be a ministry into any of the
-
fivefold offices. But the truth about minister.
-
Is that? Support Ministry.
-
Is wider ministry is bigger than just becoming?
-
A pastor. So ministry is not limited to
-
becoming a pastor or serving in only spiritual capacity.
-
There are several. Capacity in which we serve.
-
Not necessarily. Becoming a pastor, what is my
-
understanding of military? Which I.
-
Want you to? Embrace ministry is.
-
Enlisting. Take it down, write it down.
-
Ministry is enlisting into the divine purpose of God for
-
humanity and do so with. Eternity in focus.
-
So ministry is enlisted. Into the divine purpose.
-
The purpose of God is not only to build a cathedral.
-
The purpose of God include visiting the prisoner, include
-
feeding the offer. Is part.
-
Of divine purpose. Picking the from the street and
-
giving them education is part of the divine purpose.
-
Educating the youth and mentoring them to to identify
-
their career and not be useless on the street it's part of.
-
Divine purpose to. Protect the environment.
-
So that we. Don't have natural disaster that
-
we make people to die in mass and go to hell fire.
-
It's part of divine purpose. Services.
-
Social Services. Economic empowerment all.
-
Of these are component of the divine.
-
Purpose in fact. May I tell you, even serving in
-
government? Imagine the ancient Egypt.
-
So when you release into the different purpose of call for
-
humanity and you do so with eternity in.
-
Focus. You are in ministry.
-
Come to this understanding easily it is it took a billion
-
of the holy. Spirit, how do we bet you?
-
Oh yeah yo. Yeah, me borrow super minimal.
-
Sometimes I attend high profile programs.
-
And. For special treatment, they give
-
a special package of food. Food he told you I get pataki to
-
pataki and. So I drive you home by the time
-
I got. I.
-
Get home. You give it to them.
-
Was really giving unto you but to release it?
-
Ministry is enlisting to the purpose of God for humanity and
-
doing so with. Most.
-
Of the junctions where I pass regularly.
-
They already identify me as I'm coming pastor, pastor, pastor,
-
pastor, pastor because. They can you give me some 43 yes
-
yes, yes, give me. Some 43 it should be.
-
And if it is not, is it for three or 41 Where the scriptures
-
talks about those who give to the poor, He will help, He will
-
make their bed in in sickness. Is it 40?
-
What is it 41? Blessed is he?
-
Yes, blessed is he that considered the poor.
-
The. Law will deliver him in time of.
-
Trouble you? Think to be delivered from
-
trouble, you must. You must organize all that
-
prayer and do white fasting. You think, You think.
-
There are needless, needless to play approach to victory.
-
Blessed is he that considered the poor.
-
You know the reason why I. Can't die young, but there are
-
many young people who will not discover divine purpose if I'm
-
not. Around to teach them for.
-
The fact that I am serving the Lord in this capacity here and
-
on the global space, the Lord will deliver me in time of
-
trouble even when I don't remember to pray.
-
Next, the Lord will preserve him.
-
I. Keep him alive.
-
Yoshimu Allah. And he shall be blessed upon the
-
heart. Thou.
-
Will not deliver him unto the will of.
-
His enemy. It was our mommy here that
-
shared a testimony. Many years ago when I.
-
Was serving the capacity that some people envy even when it is
-
all label. Before we hold our.
-
Meeting come in and put spell spell on the.
-
Chair that we sit. Hallelujah and AS.
-
I walked in. I went and sat down on another
-
city. At the end of the day, look.
-
I'm not ordinary. Am I Ordinary, truly?
-
As many as are led by the. Spirit of Gold.
-
If you are useful you you can't just die anyhow.
-
Am I talking? To somebody less.
-
The law will strengthen upon the bed of.
-
Maybe he has. Actually, he has some.
-
Jams. Maybe some jams, maybe stressed
-
of himself. Maybe.
-
Because of ignorant or carelessness.
-
And somebody was just very sick for a day, died. #4 I said,
-
Lord, be merciful to me, heal my soul.
-
So let's leave that Press the name of the.
-
Law. So ministries enlisting into the
-
divine purpose of goal for humanity and doing so with
-
eternity in focus. Like ordinary humanitarian
-
service for the purpose of the gospel.
-
Transcend preaching. From the puppies to conference
-
services to your community. In your neighborhood, in your
-
community, in your state, in your nation, even in the global
-
space. Say I have a place.
-
What these are said before he. Left.
-
Was that Occupy? Occupy.
-
The. Education Sector.
-
Perspective of life that is not self-centered but service.
-
Let me begin to wind down today. Then we are continuing the same
-
subject. Next week, you.
-
Cannot be an accomplished. Christian.
-
Without recognizing your ministry and fulfilling it.
-
Give it to the ministry. Which you have received of the
-
law. So an accomplished Christian
-
performing a service that is profitable to God and is making
-
positive impact in the life. Of fellow men I.
-
Repeat myself on those two. Points again you.
-
Cannot be an. Accomplished Christian.
-
Without recognizing your ministry and fulfilling it and.
-
I divide and accomplish. Christian.
-
To you the. One that is performing a
-
service. A service that is profitable to.
-
God and at the. Same time it is making positive
-
impact in the life. Of fellow men.
-
The topless skates some really rather and I do.
-
Christian is. Not a responsible Christian.
-
Here am I use me as the Lord needs somebody use me.
-
If you don't want to be used by the Lord, you can sit down.
-
The. The.
-
Yeah, my Jesus, I want to be used to.
-
Oh Jesus, I am yours. Jesus.
-
I am just Jesus. We are going.
-
To raise another one. It's coming to my mind, it's
-
register my mind, but my memory cannot.
-
Break it out.
-
For those of you that. Have been attending the
-
breakfast service in the last two Sundays.
-
You can use. Anything you can.
-
Use. Hallelujah, next generation,
-
please. Let's go back.
-
Let's go back to Don Muer, late Ron Kinoli.
-
They have left us a legacy of songs.
-
I think it's one of them that did that song.
-
If you can use anything, Lord, you can use me.
-
So God can use anything. You use the donkey.
-
Or not only don't go out of penalty and look at that.
-
He can use you. If you mean it seriously, can
-
you step up? And let me pray with you.
-
The. Jesus.
-
Lord, here are your people before you.
-
They have heard your voice. What about?
-
Some of them in a degree they have been useful, but they have
-
recognized that they can be much more useful.
-
Father, I pray as they make this decision, you will open their
-
eyes of understanding to discover the areas where you
-
need them, in the church, in their family, in their
-
neighborhood, in their community, in their workplace,
-
in this generation, on the global stage, on the national
-
stage, and they will start to serve you effectively.
-
The. Empowerment you need receive it
-
in Jesus. Name.
-
You receive it in. Jesus name the.
-
Resources you need, receive it in Jesus name.
-
You will fulfill your ministry, your God.
-
You will be a blessing to people.
-
The. Blessings that God has
-
pronounced in some. 41. Will begin to become your
-
experience. The one you pronounce in Exodus
-
will also be your experience. Exodus 25, he said.
-
You will serve the Lord your God.
-
You will. Bless your bread, you will,
-
bless your water you will take sickness away from the midst of
-
you. And so I pray in the name of
-
Jesus, all the covenant blessing that goes with service will
-
begin to manifest in your. Life in the.
-
Name of Jesus Your life will Your life will be useful, your
-
destiny will be. Fruitful.
-
Your life is useful. Your destiny will be fruitful.
-
In the name. Of the Father, and of the Son,
-
and of the Holy. Spirit in.
-
Jesus name. Now, as many of you that have
-
volunteered to be useful to God, you will take a small pieces of
-
paper, write your name, you write your phone.
-
Number. And you will write what you want
-
to be doing. Else you call and then.
-
You will drop it in the offering.
-
Bag your phone number if you don't have paper.
-
Please let ushers go around with paper and buy and give them.
-
If you don't have. Your Honda we use call them they
-
will give you paper. And then?
-
You drop it in the offering bag. Your name.
-
Your phone. Number.
-
This is the. This is the first Test, so if
-
you came out you don't write something and put it in the.
-
Offering bag Disappointing. God, you definitely.
-
Will not be disappointed. Hello ordinary paper your name
-
because I will pray for you and then I will know how to guide
-
you, how to help you to do. That.
-
Then Sister Miracle, you will be the one that will collect the
-
wallpaper and then you put everything on record in the
-
tabular form for me to be able to to read and understand and be
-
able to guide them on what next step to take.
-
So your name, your phone number, what to either in the church?
-
Or in the society. Being in the society.
