Who is this? A Wisdom Bible church?
-
The Church of a distant Christian narration.
-
We're turning a probing lens of study to the very important
-
subject of friendship, and we are taking lessons from
-
different models of friendship that were found in the
-
scripture. I want you to know and
-
understand very fundamentally that life generally,
-
fundamentally is not a journey to embark upon as a Lone Ranger.
-
Life is not a journey to embark upon as a Lone Ranger.
-
God force created Adam by himself.
-
He discovered that he must put somebody beside him, praise the
-
name of the Lord. So from inception it was clear
-
that life is not a journey to be embarked upon as a Lone Ranger.
-
Not one man, as I always see, can do anything of significance
-
alone. That is not that man.
-
No matter how super talented he may be, no matter how super
-
anointed a man can be, there is not that man that can by himself
-
in law, do anything of significance without requiring
-
the inputs of others. Let's take a bearing from
-
Ecclesiastes, the Book of the Preacher, chapter 4, and then
-
look at about 5:00 of four verses from that scripture.
-
Then I return and I saw vanity under the sun.
-
In other words, then I readdressed my mind to reality
-
before. Now the King Solomon has been
-
addressing his mind to vanity, so the things he taught had
-
substance and had future. He eventually discover that they
-
are nothing. I pray that you will not waste
-
your life, your effort, your energy, your resources and the
-
pursuit of vanity in the name of Jesus, he said.
-
Then I return, which means I readdress myself to reality as
-
against the pursuit of vanity. And every young persons OK
-
always go through that temptation to first start out in
-
life and spending energy on vanity.
-
In the Yoruba palace, it is said that I call you warmer day Akara
-
Lovinge. In other words, when a young man
-
starts in life and fortune smile on him with financial resources,
-
he end up buying things that are not necessary.
-
He end up buying things that don't have a place in this
-
future. Hello, I pray in the name of
-
Jesus, the temptation to waste your destiny, the temptation to
-
waste your resources, the temptation to waste your
-
capacity, you will not fall for it in the name of Jesus.
-
So he said, I return, I think I suppose here I'll call somebody
-
who is already heading in the in the direction of vanity to
-
return. Don't go too far before it is
-
too late to return. Don't do damage to your destiny
-
to the point that when you return you cannot recover.
-
It's the Holy Spirit talking to somebody this morning.
-
So the right out of this words of wisdom said, then I return
-
and I saw vanity on that the storm before that time, these
-
things he was calling vanity, he regarded them as beauty.
-
Hello. There are many vanity today that
-
young people are thinking have beauty and there's no beauty at
-
all in them. Then I return and I saw vanity
-
under the sun. And what was the vanity he was
-
referring to here? The vanity that he thought
-
because he had energy, he had potential, he had opportunity,
-
he can go all out and succeed, not requiring the wisdom of
-
elder or the help of colleagues. You know a man can be so
-
endowed, a man can be so favour, that you can look down on
-
anybody, because for now thing you are calling things and they
-
are answering for you. Then I return, and I saw vanity
-
under the sun. There is one alone, and there is
-
not a second. Yeah, he had neither child nor
-
brother, yet is there no end of all his labour, Neither is his
-
eyes satisfied with riches. You know, a young lady can start
-
out so well in life, in the path of career pursuits.
-
OK. And she'll be doing very well.
-
And then you start to speak to her that now at your head, OK,
-
you need to settle down and get married.
-
And we'll be telling you I don't need a man in my life.
-
I mean, she'll be telling you I don't need a man in my life.
-
It is not because there's any biblical conviction for that,
-
OK, all because if I got married, OK, what will a man do
-
in my life? Give me money?
-
I have it. Am I talking to somebody?
-
Said walking. Never satisfied with with
-
riches, but no child, no brother, no second, no, no, no.
-
Colleague later said, if for whom do I label and believe my
-
soul of good? This also is vanity.
-
Yeah, is a sore traffic then verse 9 Now say 2 are better
-
than one. One can never be better than
-
two. Two are better than one, for if
-
one chase 1002, we chase 10,000 because they have a good reward
-
for their labour. Yes, you are a resourceful
-
person, but that is still value that another person can add to
-
your resourcefulness if you learn to choose to keep the
-
right company, not the company of vanity.
-
For if before the one we lift up is fellow now is now addressing
-
the value, the benefits you derive from friendship.
-
Friendship is not just about you, Ma.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 5555 is beyond that.
-
For if they fall, the one we lift off is fellow.
-
But woe to him that is alone when he fallen, for he has not
-
an order to help him. Or you see, the topography of
-
life is never a perfect play. The topography of life, the
-
topography of destiny is on to living.
-
So the possibility that you may stumble is there.
-
So when you stumble and fall and you cannot help yourself up,
-
there must be somebody in your life who will see you as his
-
responsibility. And that person may not
-
necessarily be your blood brother, your blood sister.
-
Am I talking to somebody? Again, if to lie together then
-
they have it. But how can one be warm alone?
-
That is not that one man that can do anything of significance
-
alone. You need a confident to do
-
something of significance in life.
-
You need what a confidence and if one prevail against him too
-
shall withstand him. And the reality of life is that
-
you cannot be a friend to everybody for no reason.
-
There will be people that are against you.
-
So why will you not lend the wisdom of friendship so that in
-
those days when some are against you, you have some that are with
-
you. AM I talking to somebody?
-
But some people are living their life like the spirit of Cain is
-
on them. Their hand is against everybody
-
and therefore everybody is against them.
-
We are not say people will not be against you, but it is wrong
-
that everybody will be against you.
-
And the man that we have a friend, the scripture say he
-
must show himself friendly. So there's a way you conduct
-
yourself that we make people that will drop people towards
-
you. Don't conduct yourself in a way
-
that repairs people. Make yourself a magnet of good
-
people. Am I talking to somebody?
-
And if one prevail against him? So it's a reality of life that
-
this man returned to, to address that essentially in life.
-
You can't escape it. In fact, our Lord Jesus Christ
-
himself said it. He said woe unto you if all men
-
speak well of you. Hello.
-
So in those days when men will choose to blackmail you, are you
-
with me? There must be people who will
-
speak about your integrity, who will fight for your integrity
-
and defend your cause. And if one prevail against him,
-
two shall withstand him. And a threefold cord is not
-
quickly broken. What is that threefold cord?
-
You, your friend, and God. Hello, you, your friend, and who
-
and God. So that's why I often see, which
-
I have also said repeatedly again today, that nobody, not
-
one man, can do anything of significance alone.
-
And if you find anybody attempting to succeed without
-
the input of others, that man, that woman is either ignorant or
-
arrogant, or the person is a victim of the two ignorant and
-
ignorance and arrogance combine. So when you find a man
-
attempting to succeed alone without the input of orders,
-
that man is either ignorant or arrogant.
-
Because in life you will require different kinds of company to
-
make the journey playerable and productive.
-
So to make the journey of destiny playerable and
-
productive, you will require different kinds of company.
-
In the church setting you have like mind prayer partners.
-
Am I talking to somebody? You will have like mind study
-
partner in church setting if you are a student.
-
You will have like mind study partner that you do tutorial
-
together if you are a career person.
-
You have like mind professional colleagues that you are climbing
-
the ladder of progress together. You are challenging each other.
-
Am I talking to somebody not working against yourself?
-
So in life you will require different kinds of company to
-
make the journey of destiny pleasurable and productive.
-
Do you know that even when you engage in hard work and you are
-
sweating, if you have a friend with you chatting with you, it
-
may look like I see if you are not working hard, but if you are
-
the only one that is there, you will you will get weary quickly.
-
Praise the name of the Lord. It is popularly said that
-
problems shared is half soft. You have a body and as somebody
-
you can share the body with, the body is spread, you become
-
lighter. The problem has not gone away,
-
but for the fact that you are not the only man in need, you
-
are relieved to a degree. Am I talking to somebody?
-
So take it and walk by it. Make it your life principle that
-
as you journey in destiny, you will require different kinds of
-
company to make the journey of destiny not only playable but
-
also productive. And of course, somebody may see
-
I am lucky and alone. I have been very productive.
-
The truth is that if you think you are achieving much alone,
-
you can achieve much more in the company of a faithful friend.
-
Hello. Because 2 are better than one is
-
a natural law, is a divine law. Am I talking to somebody?
-
So if you think you are doing well in law, you will do better
-
in the company of a faithful friend.
-
So, and of course, in life, what you label for alone cannot be
-
enjoyed alone. What you label for alone cannot
-
be what enjoy alone. So there's a special joy in
-
sharing that eating alone cannot offer you.
-
So even when you think you don't need another man, another man
-
needs you. When you think you don't need
-
another person, another person does what needs you.
-
And there is a special joy in sharing with others that eating
-
alone cannot offer you. The scriptures say woe to that
-
man that is alone. So for destiny fulfillment, a
-
good and godly company is highly and inevitably desirable.
-
For destiny fulfillment, a good and godly company is
-
fundamentally, inevitably desirable.
-
But when you want to choose your company, when you want to choose
-
your friend, there are two things you must watch out for
-
very essentially #1 is compatibility.
-
Number 2 is productivity. So the kind of friends you
-
choose, you must be compatible with that friend.
-
Then the result of your compatibility must be
-
productivity. So one of the way you assess
-
whether my friend and I are compatible is what are you
-
producing? What's your productivity rates?
-
What's the efficiency rate alone?
-
And now that you have come together as it reduce you or
-
multiply you, am I talking to somebody?
-
So you must be able to track it that since brother also came
-
into my life, how efficient have I become spiritually as it
-
enhance my prayer life or reduce my prayer life?
-
Are you with me? If you are a student, what, what
-
was your performance before you and that friend came together?
-
Now that you and that friend have now I've come together,
-
what is now your performance academically?
-
Am I talking to somebody? So we are not talking about
-
friendship for friendship sake. You will not keep the company
-
that will be a mind loss to your destiny.
-
I expect a louder Amen. Do I have young man in the
-
house? I say you will not keep a
-
company that will be a mind loss to your destiny in the name of
-
Jesus. So a good and good company, I
-
said is decidable inevitably for destiny fulfillment.
-
And I said to achieve that you must watch out for compatibility
-
and productivity in the kind of company that you keep.
-
So fancy is not the primary purpose of friendship.
-
Hello, Somashi. It's not the primary purpose of
-
friendship. Social attractions are not the
-
only purpose for friendship, fellowship, companionship.
-
These are the irreplaceable purpose of friendship.
-
Fellowship. Fellowship means heart shake,
-
not just handshake. Hello.
-
A friendship that has developed and is profitable beyond
-
handshake and as transmitted to heart shake.
-
OK, it's what is called fellowship.
-
Am I talking to somebody? So in such kind of friendship
-
you are climbing the ladder of success together.
-
You are not just clubbing together to merely on wine.
-
Hello. You know the reasons of people
-
who are friends is when they have war, OK, Then in the
-
evening time they go to the club to a wine and that is all to the
-
kind of friends they keep. They cannot have financial
-
issues and those friends will be there.
-
They cannot have emotional issues and those friends will be
-
there. Praise the name of the Lord.
-
The friends that keep them in the club away from the church
-
where they not have problem, those friends will not be there.
-
It is then they now turn to the church.
-
Yet it is that club that has been found them from being
-
church. I bet Ponty Monsoni, you don't
-
find them in church, you don't find on Sunday, you don't find
-
them in church in Bible study, you don't make any contribution
-
to church. In fact they don't pay their
-
tithe in church. They don't give offering in
-
church. But they can buy drinks for
-
friends and club. But when real issues of life
-
challenge them, OK, they will look around and those friends
-
are not there. So when we talk about
-
friendship, we are not talking about fancy.
-
We are talking about fellowship. We are talking about
-
companionship that has gone beyond handshake to at hook.
-
Your heart is knitted together at knits.
-
So when I say in that level of friendship you are climbing the
-
ladder of saucer together, you are not just clubbing together
-
to merely on wine, take this and listen on it.
-
The wise club to climb, you know to club means to unite to come
-
together. So if you are a wise person, you
-
club to do what to climb, but the foolish club to waste time
-
around the cup of wine and skirts of women of easy batches.
-
So when you see them together, what are they discussing?
-
They are disgusting girlfriend. This is the foolish that does
-
that, who club to waste time around the Corp of wine and the
-
skirts of women of easy virtue. But the wise when the club the
-
club to climb, Tell your friend, let us club to climb.
-
Tell your neighbor, let us club to climb, because that is the
-
way of the wise. So essentially friendship must
-
lead to multiplication of capacity.
-
So your capacity must be multiplied in the areas where
-
you are doing well. You start to do to do better if
-
you have a good friend who is encouraging you on.
-
So friendship must enhance productivity.
-
Descriptor that we read is very clear about that 2 are better
-
than one. So we all need friend.
-
But take notes, not everybody can be a profitable friend.
-
Hello, there's a friend in the class of Jonathan and there's a
-
friend in the class of Jonathan. We're going to explore all of
-
explore all of that and consequent teaching.
-
But I pray for you, you will choose a Jonathan as friend and
-
not a Jonadab. Jonadab Rob Amnon is positioned
-
in Destiny as heir apparent to the throne of David.
-
Hello, but Jonathan came into the life of David and help David
-
to attain the truth. Climbing together, clubbing to
-
climb together. But for Jonadab and I'm known.
-
Hello Jonadab encourage. I'm known OK to go after the
-
skates of Tamar And in the process Abnorm was robbed of his
-
place in destiny as the heir apparent to the throne of David.
-
I pray for you again in the name of Jesus.
-
When you are choosing your friend, you will be rightly
-
guided to choose a Jonathan and not a Jonathan in the name of
-
Jesus. So whereas we all need friends,
-
but not everybody can be your friend, not everybody can be a
-
profitable friend. So what are you to look for in a
-
potential frame? I will highlight for you a
-
number of factors to look for in a profitable frame.
-
OK? But let me just pick one for
-
today, discuss it, and then we'll continue from there next
-
week. So what to look for in a
-
potential frame? Number one thing is substance,
-
Substance. Substance does not necessarily
-
means material resources, neither does it mean aquatic
-
press. The name of the laws, are we
-
together? So when I say substance, I must
-
define the matter. Substance in our contents means
-
possessing the capacity for sources.
-
So the man, the woman you will choose as a friend, most fitting
-
into the description of a man or a woman of substance.
-
It is a man of substance that will eventually become a man of
-
success. Am I talking to somebody?
-
If you are not a man or woman of substance, it become hard for
-
you to become a man of success. So being a man or woman of
-
success is about being a value added personality.
-
If VAP. Evap.
-
Being a man or woman of substance is about being
-
resourceful. We're talking about
-
resourcefulness. We are talking about possessing
-
a sense of responsibility with positive attitude to life.
-
That's what it means to be a man or woman of substance.
-
And I'll give you the example of David and Jonathan, how the two
-
of them were people of substance in their own right.
-
So both David and Jonathan were men of substance in their
-
respective rights. One was coming from a pizza
-
background, the other was coming from royalty.
-
Yet the one coming from a pizza background was a man of
-
substance. The one coming from royalty was
-
not a spoilt brats. A lot of you hook yourself to
-
children of the affluence who are spot brats.
-
And the reason apple gets spoiled is with one is spoiled
-
and the other ones are linked to it and then the jam start to
-
spread. The bacteria of damage start to
-
spray. Am I talking to somebody you
-
will not hook yourself to, somebody who is carrying a
-
bacteria of destiny, destiny damage in the name of Jesus?
-
Some people will have will have done very well in life except
-
for the wrong friend. They choose so.
-
But for David and Jonathan, they were men of substance in their
-
respective right. The one that was of royalty was
-
not a sport brat. The one that was coming from a
-
Pisa background also had the positive attitude to life with
-
potential to also become somebody in life.
-
So their friendship was ID. Even though they were from
-
different social backgrounds, one was already there the order
-
that was not yet there also possess what can get him there.
-
Hello do you have what can get you there because there's a
-
place called there you will get there.
-
I have pray for somebody who will get there in the name of
-
Jesus. So we are David was to
-
eventually get to in lie. Jonathan was already a Prince
-
there. Are you with me?
-
So I said one was already there, the other one who is not yet
-
there also possessed the potential to be there.
-
So you are not wise and I want you to take this one also very
-
seriously. You are not wise if you are
-
thinking and behaving like those who are not going to where you
-
are going. You have a destination in mind.
-
You have a purpose that you are pursuing in destiny.
-
Then from now start to behave like somebody that has a purpose
-
in life, to be that wise child, be that wise brother, be that
-
wise sister, be that wise man, be that wise woman who is
-
thinking and behaving like the place you are going, because you
-
are not wise. If you are thinking, you are
-
behaving, you are dressing, you are talking, you are grooming,
-
you are clubbing like those who are not going to where you are
-
going. So where you are going to
-
determine the kind of company you will keep.
-
So David, I said was coming from a piece of background, but he
-
had that potential that surpasses his low level
-
background to the decree that even though he was in the
-
wilderness with the animals, when they needed a man in the
-
palace, he fitted into the palace, well fitted for it.
-
Am I talking to somebody? Abuelo, are you with me?
-
What a specific open in New York and is CV OK matches what was
-
needed in New York. That's what it means to be a man
-
of substance. That's what it means to be a man
-
that understand destiny and you have purpose and you know that
-
you are going somewhere great and you don't allow your present
-
circumstance to rob you of demonstrating your substance.
-
Am I talking to somebody? Even as a shepherd boy he was
-
kingly. As a shepherd boy, he was what?
-
He was kingly. Are you kingly in your conducts?
-
Are you kingly in your appearance?
-
Police are doing stop and search.
-
Are you with me? And they can easily club you
-
without? Please return like the wise man
-
said from the scripture we read, he said and I return and I
-
discovered that what I call beauty is vanity.
-
I readdress myself to reality as against possibly vanity.
-
Stop following the category of people that are calling evil
-
good. Listen and listen good.
-
Royalty is not land on the true. Royalty is not land on the true.
-
It is brought to the true by those who understand how Ali
-
that that is where they are going.
-
That is where they belong. You don't learn reality on the
-
true, you bring royalty to the truth if you will discover early
-
in life that the throne is yours.
-
So Jonathan in his own case was of royalty, but it was well
-
cultured to recognize that before royalty become heritage,
-
it has first existed as a sense of responsibility waiting for
-
opportunity. I wanted to understand that
-
before royalty will become your heritage, you should understand
-
that royalty force exists as a sense of responsibility in you.
-
It is that sense of responsibility in you.
-
OK, that we now see opportunity and seize opportunity, then
-
you'll become the king. So what we enthrone you is your
-
sense of responsibility. Hello.
-
It's not just opportunity. It's not just luck.
-
What we enthrone you in destiny is your sense of responsibility.
-
How responsible are you in your thinking?
-
How prepare are you to take up responsibility?
-
So royalty is not about inherited prosperity.
-
That was what real world did not understand.
-
The son of Solomon. You thought once I inherit it, I
-
have it. You don't have it until you know
-
how to keep it. Hello.
-
Whatever you are giving is not your own.
-
Or to learn how to keep it. Or to learn how to manage it.
-
Have you forgotten that Yoruba poem on TI Obasi cell phone?
-
Keep Hello. Well, a palara.
-
Am I talking to somebody? So royalty is not about inerted
-
prosperity, rather it's about product.
-
I mean another is a product of capacity that is well applied.
-
Royalty is a product of your capacity that is well applied,
-
that is properly applied. When I say royalty, I mean
-
greatness. When I say royalty, I mean
-
fulfillment. And I'm saying it's about
-
applying your capacity. It's about preparing yourself
-
with a responsibility for the opportunity that can come at any
-
time. Hallelujah.
-
So Jonathan made friendship with David on the basis of present
-
reality. I mean, not on the basis of
-
present reality. You know, the present reality of
-
David does not look like it. I might OK to somebody.
-
I'm trying to expansion for you how both of them in their
-
respective life were men of substance and that Jonathan who
-
was of royalty was well cultural and all to make responsible
-
judgment. Why keep friendship with the
-
children of affluence and the only thing you are gaining from
-
them is that they are introducing you to drug because
-
some people as know they are so class conscious.
-
Why become friend to your pastor's son if your pastor's
-
sons will be recruiting girlfriend for you in the
-
church? I do occasionally just to move
-
below my job. I said yeah, these are serious
-
issues. So the friendship of befit to
-
Jonathan was not the friendship of a man sourcing as a go digger
-
just want to be a friend to people of very high class for
-
the mere benefit of what is there.
-
Am I talking to somebody? Why become a friend to the child
-
of an affluent? And at the end of the day, he
-
introduced you to drug dealing and when eventually you are
-
arrested, he has a way to escape it.
-
And then they will now use you as the scapegoat.
-
Same old Soros in, you know, Polo, Shambo, Aboye.
-
So Jonathan made friendship with David on the basis of present, I
-
mean not on the basis of present reality, but on the basis of
-
presented or demonstrated capacity and future possibility.
-
You know, David had demonstrated capacity as a warrior.
-
He brought down Goliath, he killed lion, he killed the bear.
-
But his present reality, the capacity was demonstrating, was
-
not yet been rewarded. Am I talking to somebody?
-
But it was so clear that prosperity in uni capacity of
-
Yafu. But you think the only kind of
-
friend you need is the friend I can give you money?
-
That is, you should look for more than money in a friend.
-
I might talk it to somebody. What money can you pay that we
-
reward the amount of value I have to you every Sunday?
-
So he made this judgment of choosing David as a friend on
-
the basis of the capacity David has demonstrated and the future
-
possibility. I'm going to read the Scripture
-
to you as we progress in the teaching.
-
When his father Saul wanted David eliminated, OK, and
-
Jonathan stood with David, he said for I know this role is of
-
you from the Lord. So present reality of capacity,
-
future possibility of the fact that he will become the king.
-
So these are things you look for.
-
The man you are going with, where is he going?
-
Why are you keeping a mind in your life that's not going
-
anywhere? Why are you keeping a woman in
-
your life that's not going anywhere?
-
And don't forget, even bad relationship is about
-
friendship. Are you with me?
-
Why hook yourself to a man that's not going anywhere?
-
Why hook yourself to a lady? OK, That is a sticker that has
-
lost its adhesive. You know, a sticker that has
-
lost its adhesive. A sticker always have adhesive
-
at the back come. OK, But if we have placed it on
-
brother, don't remove it from brother, don't place it on
-
Brother Luke. Remove Brother Luke.
-
Place it on brother. Do that.
-
Do that. Place it on Brother Zachariah.
-
Remove from brother Zachariah as we are talking about now is
-
already is on broad. I don't know, I hear you have
-
broad. I don't.
-
So choose your friends, including your life partner on
-
the basis of presented capacity and future possibility.
-
You have no business dealing or clubbing with an NFA, no future
-
ambition, not even a short future ambition, maybe somebody
-
with a mega future ambition are not just people who parade
-
wishes but people who are matching OK their vision with
-
action. They are not there but the kind
-
of thing they are doing is showing that they are serious
-
about getting there. So Jonathan knew so well that a
-
man of capacity that does not attend the top is only paying
-
the bill to be there. So whatever you are doing today,
-
you are paying the bill to be there.
-
When you read your book very well, as a student, you are
-

When you'll be there to your parents, you are paying the bill
-
for your greatness. Am I talking to somebody?

-

-
Are you fast? You are paying the bill for your
-
greatness. When you give yourself to the
-
reading of the word of God and meditation on it, you are paying
-
the bill for your greatness. When you get good books and you
-
study them, bless the name of the Lord you, you listen to
-
testimonials that come boost your courage to go for
-
greatness. You are paying the bill as
-
yourself. Are you paying the bill for your
-
greatness. So when you want to choose a
-
friend, choose a friend that is so clear that This is why he's
-
paid the bill for his greatness. Future possibility for summer
-
1755 to 58 and well saw saw David go forth against the
-
Philistine demonstrated capacity.
-
Every other man we're running away from Goliath.
-
But David went and he came out and stood before Goliath, and
-
fought Goliath, and saw, saw it, he said unto Abner, the captain
-
of the Oz. Abner who saw is this youth.
-
What bill are you paying presently that will reveal you,
-
that will give you recognition, that will make people want to
-
invite you to embrace opportunity?
-
And Abner, say, as thy soul lived, O King, I cannot tell.
-
So his background was not looking like it, but his
-
attitude was everything that it is.
-
Hello Atma said I cannot even after he has fought Goliath.
-
Hello. They still they were still
-
looking for microscope to discover where he came from in
-
Fort Goliath in chapter 17 I'm reading for you Chapter 18 I
-
shall not tell and the king said inquire down who some this try
-
please what's on you or don't like that you bury.
-
They were still looking down on him.
-
He was looking off to where he was going when men are looking
-
down on you OK stop bothering yourself.
-
Start looking off to where you are going.
-
And as they will return from the slaughter of the Philistine,
-
Abner took him and brought him the first soul with the head of
-
the Philistine in his hand. Bishop, we always say only fools
-
doubt proof. So is that yes, Tripely.
-
OK, but as a Tripely here is the head of Goliath your the head of
-
Goliath that you need is your CV, the accumulated successes
-
you are recording even in your low estate, even when nobody's
-
looking at you, when nobody sees you start to kill your Goliath.
-
Am I talking to somebody? I told you years back when God
-
sent us to this axis of the city, he said go to that
-
wilderness, kill your bear, kill your lion.
-
After all, you are going to be invited to the city to come and
-
kill your Kolaya. And today, for the glory of
-
God's name, we can say we have the head of Kolaya to present as
-
evidence for higher heights. Am I talking to somebody or the
-
Kolaya Abukazai to go see for PT party when it's all over?
-
And brought him before. So with the head of the
-
Philistine in his hand. The man who brought him was the
-
man that said I cannot tell, I don't know him.
-
Hello. And Saul said to him, Whose son
-
are thou, thou young man? And David answer, I am the son
-
of the servant Jesse the Bethlehem.
-
I you will become that person that will introduce your family.
-
On the account of you, your family name will be recognized.
-
On the account of you, your family name will be respected.
-
On the account of you, your family name will be honored in
-
the name of Jesus. Then chapter 18 from verse one
-
to five. And it came to pass, when he had
-
made an hand of speaking unto soul hello now he now spoke unto
-
soul one-on-one, that the soul of Jonathan was neat with the
-
soul of David, And Jonathan loved him as his own soul
-
demonstrated capacity, and then he seized opportunity.
-
Then he got a great friend and soul took him that day.
-
I will let him go. No more home to this Father's
-
house. You are not going back to that
-
low level. You are not going back to that
-
level of disgrace. Your capacity will recommend you
-
for greatness in the name of Jesus.
-
So his capacity recommended him for a Palacio place in the
-
palace. Then Jonathan and David made a
-
covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
-
And Jonathan sweeps himself of the rope that was upon him.
-
Remember he came into that place with the rope of a shepherd and
-
gave it to David and his government, even to his word and
-
to his bow, and to his ghetto. Remember, after he killed
-
Goliath, are you with me? He, He was supposed to be giving
-
the sword of Goliath. He was not supposed to come to
-
that palace without his sword. But the sword of Goliath was
-
taken from him and kept somewhere.
-
As you study or you discover that that that sword was not
-
with him, he was endangered. One day he ran to a priest.
-
It was at that place. The priest now said, well, we
-
don't have any reporter we can give you except this word of
-
Goliath. They took it away from him, but
-
a friend gave him his own sword. You see, a man of capacity
-
cannot be completely denied, cannot be what?
-
Because somebody we love you because of who you are and
-
because of what you can contribute.
-
So Jonathan striping and himself of the rope that was upon him
-
and gave it to David and his garment, even to his ward and to
-
his bow and to his get to so he didn't beg for the friendship of
-
Jonathan. Are you with me?
-
He paid the bill for royalty, so whatever Jonathan was doing for
-
to him was not a favor, was a reward was what a reward was
-
what a favor. And David went out wheresoever
-
saw something, then he behave himself wisely, meaning that
-
truly he was a man of substance could misbehave.
-
Could they are think Oh my, Oh my doorberry, am I talking to
-
somebody? That's why I said royalty is not
-
land on the truth. It is brought to the truth.
-
A shepherd boy. He got to the truth and he
-
behave himself properly. He behave himself kindly and so
-
sent him, and Saul set him over the man of war from one level of
-
promotion to another level of promotion.
-
And he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in
-
the sight of Saul Sabbath. If he had a rebellious mind to
-
stake a coup against Saul, he would have removed Saul before
-
Saul started to run after him. Am I talking to somebody?
-
Receive grace to be a man of capacity.
-
Receive grace to be a man that grow in gifts.
-
For the gift of a man we bring him before great men, not before
-
men. Receive that grace to choose
-
your friends wisely in the name of Jesus.
-
Receive the mind of diligent to start to pay the B for your
-
greatness and prayer and saving in obedience in study the word
-
of God in the name of Jesus. Everything that is is required
-
to be great in life will be convenient for you to do from
-
now on in the name of Jesus. In Jesus name I pray Hallelujah.
-
Don't be left in the dark. Get proper understanding of life
-
through the word of God. My people perish for lack of
-
knowledge. The Word of God is an
-
illumination which gives direction.
-
Remain place as Reverend was far and illuminates your mind with
-
the Word of God with all simplicity and clarity.
