Passion for Impact 2 | Rev. COS Fawenu

Who is this a Wisdom Bible church?

The Church of a distant Christian narration?

You are welcome to his presence and our online church.

You are equally welcome. You will be blessed with the

fullness of the blessings of Christ as I bring you the Word

of God again this morning in the name of Jesus.

Understanding passion is still the topic, or rather passion for

impact is still the topic. And the direction we are going

to to this morning is to deepen our understanding of the

subject. So we are focusing on

understanding passion this morning.

Passion as we noted last week is a major requirement for

outstanding sources in all life endeavors.

So it's a good thing that want to deepen our understanding of

that which is required for outstanding success in all lives

endeavor. Last week we were greatly helped

by the Holy Spirit and we established that passion resides

in the mind. Passion reside in the mind.

It is our mind that hosts passion.

Our mind equally hosts memories. I said that last week.

And our mind generates thoughts. Passion resides where Ansami

Church. So which part of the Tripathi

component of man is the host of passion?

The mind. So the mind is a component of

the soul. So it is the mind that hosts

passion. And I said the mind equally

hosts memories and it generates thoughts out of the abundance of

the arts, the mouth speakers. So nothing good or bad happen

outside the knowledge of the human mind.

Nothing good that you do, nothing bad that you do, will

happen outside the involvement of your mind.

So we are, all things being equal, our protocols observe.

OK, if your mind is sound, your glorious destiny is already on

the track of success. And that's why the scriptures

say He has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love and

of a sound mind. Sound mind, a sound mind,

developing a sound mind. The Holy Spirit can help you.

Why? Because a sound mind is very

essential to recording outstanding sources in all lives

endeavor. And I'm submitting to you that

where your mind is sound, your glutos destiny is already on the

track of success. The other things that will be

required to support your son, mine is now passion and the

grace of God to run well and finish strong.

I pray for you in the name of Jesus.

The law will help you to grow the soundness of your mind.

I have just prayed for somebody. I said the law will help you to

grow the soundness of your mind. Your mind will not be without

passion for the right things. In the name of Jesus and the

grace of God Almighty, we support you to run well and to

finish strong in the name of Jesus.

You see, the sadness of the mind matter so much to the degree

that the difference between a mentally rich man and a normal

person is the state of the mind. Do you agree with that?

A mentally deranged person and a normal person, the difference

between them is the state of the mind.

Your mind will not be confused. Your mind will not deranged.

In the name of Jesus, lift up your right hand.

I say in the name of Jesus, I will not lose my mind.

We have prayed honestly. I will not lose my mind.

So much pressure around us that can make people go insane, say

in the name of Jesus. I will not believe things that

will make me lose my mind. I will not give in to

philosophies that will make me lose my mind.

I will not adopt A heating or drinking habit that will make me

lose my mind. I will not work in the company

of people that will brought that will bring me into covenants

that can make me lose my mind. Your mind is so critical to your

well-being. Prayed for yourself parents,

prayed for your children. In Jesus name we pray you pray.

Second one, say in the name of Jesus, concerns and prayers of

life will not make me lose my mind.

We have praise in the name of Jesus, concerns and prayers of

life will not make me lose my mind.

People are going through a lot and lot of prayer.

You see people walking on the street upset my day.

Concerns and prayers of life, be it economica, be spiritual,

whatever it may be, be it academic challenges.

Evil will not invade your mind. Demons that cause destruction

will not invade your mind. In the name of Jesus, in Jesus

mighty name we pray. In Jesus mighty name we pray.

You see, your mind is meant to host the passion that will drive

your life and the devil is seriously contending to either

possess or confuse your mind. I pray for you again, in the

name of Jesus, the enemy will not succeed to confuse your

mind. The enemy will not succeed to

occupy your mind. Demons will not possess your

mind. Evil thought will not possess

your mind. Evil ideologies will not possess

your mind. In the name of Jesus, when you

get it right in your mind, you will get it right in all that is

that you do in the physical realm.

The mind is like the gates to put the spirit towards your

spirit and to your flesh, to your body, to the organs of your

body. Hallelujah.

So when you are becoming regularly absent minded or you

are fond of greeting outside the consciousness or awareness of

your mind, there's a problem. Hello.

Where you are the type that is becoming regularly absent

minded. Where you are the type that

doesn't have the capacity for concentration, when you are the

type that doesn't have the capacity for focus in life.

Am I talking to somebody? OK, take note of it.

The devil is already touching a critical aspect of your life

that you need to live a meaningful life.

So when you are becoming regularly upset minded, begin to

give careful attention to yourself.

Where you are fond of doing things outside the consciousness

or awareness of your mind. You need to seek help when you

begin to see this manner of symptoms.

You may need even medical help. You may need even spiritual

help. A depressed mind or a derived

mind comes about as a result of leaving your mind unattended to.

Many people have time to attend to their physical body, but they

are not attending to their mind. And when you find a depraved

mind, a mind that is not given to God, a mind that does foolish

things with pride, a mind that pursue wrong ambition, wrong

purpose, a mind driven by wrong motive, or even a mind that's

already deranged, mentally impaired, more often than not

come about as a result of leaving your mind unattended to

tell somebody, give attention to your mind.

So our mind needs nourishment the way our body needs food.

Our mind is what nourishment. Nobody will see poison and drink

it. Most people that take poison OK,

is it that they they are already suffering from depression.

If they take it deliberately, OK.

More often than not, people take poison accidentally.

Nobody with we set a table of poison for himself as meal,

praise the name of the Lord, but for our mind, OK.

We deliberately poison our mind by listening to the wrong thing,

giving attention to the wrong information, and so on and so

forth. So your mind needs nourishment

the same way your body is to be nourished and well attended.

Though your mind does not only need nourishment, it also need

protection. It means what protection?

We protect our trials and we have forgotten that our mind

itself is a great treasure that require protection.

Proverb 422 say keep your heart with all diligence for art of it

are the word issues of life, issues of life out of the art

are the issues of life. Praise the Lord, rise up again

as we pray those prayer we ally, I pray.

Rise up again as we pray those prayer we ally, I pray.

Talk to the Lord say, Father, I will not lose my mind.

Prayers of life will not make me lose my mind.

We have prayed honestly in the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus, I will not lose my mind.

Prayed, prayed, prayed honestly, I prayed earnestly.

You will not lose your mind in the name of Jesus.

You will not lose your mind in the name of Jesus.

Pakina pregaba tedaba leprocha shataya blakeete maca.

Talk to the Lord to help you. Talk to the Lord to help you to

maintain the sanity of your mind.

Talk to the Law to help you to maintain the sanity of your

mind. Talk to the law that concerns

and pressure of life will no longer trouble your mind.

The Law will give you the capacity of the mind to handle

concerns and prayers of life. The capacity of the mind to

handle the concerns and prayers of life.

In Jesus mighty name we pray. Pray this one to say, in the

name of Jesus, let me hear you clearly.

I will not lose my composure to life.

Prayer we have prayed in the name of Jesus.

I will not be destabilized by prayers of life.

I will not lose my composure to unpleasant experiences of life.

And Jesus name we pray have your set in his presence.

I mentioned that a depraved mind or a direct mind comes about as

a result of leaving your mind unattended To mention that your

mind need nourishment and it also need protection.

Proverb 423 Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it the

issues of life. The ECG this version says be

careful how you think, your thoughts make you the person

that you have. Be careful how you think, your

thoughts make you the person that you have.

So if you don't knowledge your mind, it will be weak.

I can therefore be easily poisoned.

It can be easily poisoned by deception.

It can be easily poisoned by wrong advice.

It can be easily poisoned by evil thoughts inspired by the

devil. So all that are what can happen

if you don't attend to your mind by noticing it and protecting

it. So it will not be strong to be

able to handle issues of life if you don't protect your mind, it

can be invaded by evil thoughts and anxiety can be invaded by

evil thoughts and anxieties. So a poison mind OK and an

overcrowded mind are not good for destiny fulfillment or

fulfill your destiny gloriously Ensure that your mind is not

poisoned then don't allow your mind to be overcrowded by

concerns and issues of life. Why either a poisoned mind or

the one that is overcrowded? None of them is good for destiny

for women. So ensure that every time you

are in the right state of mind, in the right frame of mind to

pursue purpose and to achieve it.

Right frame of mind, you know, and of course, the worst kind of

state of mind is to allow your mind to stay idle.

I put emphasis on that with a common statement that I do make.

That's an idle hand. The sea is the devil's workshop.

But I say unto you, and I do. Mine is the devil's bedroom.

That's where I sleep and does everything.

So don't allow for that manner of state of idleness, because

the worst state of mind that anybody can go through is to

allow your mind to be blank, is to allow your mind to stay idle.

In mind that is I do cannot generate passion.

A mind that is I do cannot generate word passion.

Even when you have dreams and you lack passion, you will

discover that your dream cannot be translated to the desired

sources. So in mind I generate dreams but

lack passion. To pursue them is not in any way

desirable. So I pray for you again, your

mind. We have the capacity to dream

and the passion to pursue it in the name of Jesus.

It is commonly said that if wishes were horses, beggars were

right. Praise the name of the Lord.

So a lot of people have wishes. They have loved the dreams which

they are finding difficult to achieve because they lack the

passion to pursue it. So the mind must have the

capacity to pursue dream. And what is that capacity?

That capacity is called passion. Let me drive it for that a

little before we begin to now move from next week to the

application of the understanding we are gaining from the meaning

and the essence of passion. So let's look at the influence

of passion over purpose. So what to examine what passion

does, what to examine, the kind of destiny help you can receive

from having your passion regularly of detail.

You see, we are all born with potentials, the ability to do

certain things very well, the ability to do certain things

without stress, the ability that you can apply to achieve success

in life. So that is the way God has wired

us. The area where you have capacity

may not be the area where I have capacity, but there is no one

without his or her own capacity. So this capacity, this

potential, where it will be deployed will be determined by

the kind of passion that you have.

Is somebody listening to me? So you have had so much about

potential, but in spite of your potential, you are still there,

not achieving much. From after this message you will

begin to achieve much in life. I said from after this message,

you begin to achieve much in life in the name of Jesus.

So just as your dream require the support of passion before it

can be achieved, in the same way your potential required the

involvement of passion before potential can translate to

success. Before potential can achieve its

purpose, it must be supported by passion.

Am I talking to somebody? So potential determine where you

will be. I mean passion determines where

you will deploy your potential. I had Is it Reverend George at

the boy or about the boy that preached a message many years

ago that this cable thieves that goes in the dead of the night OK

to go and steal electric cables. OK, They they don't work in the

power sector. OK to have control of how to go

and switch off the lights, but yet they will go in the dead of

the night, OK and they will still successfully get cut off

the cable. He said if they are deployed

their potential in the right direction, they will be better

electrical engineers. Am I talking to somebody?

So your passion will determine where you will deploy your

potential. There are people, OK that speak

better than I do, OK, But by the time you meet them where they

are yawning, they are yawning nonsense.

They are, they are, they are speaking things.

That doesn't rectify. People praise the name of the

Lord. So they are the potential of all

is free, but where they are deploying it is in the wrong

direction. Why?

Because they are the wrong kind of passion.

So passion determines where you would deploy your potential.

It determines where or what purpose you will focus your

energy on. Passion is very important.

Passion is very important. When King David was writing in

Psalm that I am glad when they say let us go into the House of

the Lord, he was referring to His passion.

What do you give him that joy to want to be in the presence of

God, His passion? And what is making some people

to always want to be in the clubhouse, OK, drinking

themselves to stupor is passion that drives them there.

I pray in the name of Jesus you will not embrace the kind of

passion that will lead to your destruction.

So where you are going to focus your energy on, in fact what you

are going to place your resources on will be determined

by the kind of passion that is driving your life.

You choose to be a philanthropist because God has

so much bless you. It is your passion that will

determine what you will sponsor. Am I talking to somebody?

Then whether you be diligent or indolent in life will be

determined by either the presence or absence of passion.

Jesus said my food or my drink is to do the will of him that

sent me and to fulfill it. He was a funny to passion.

So when you find a man living a carefree life as if there's no

agency to anything in life, go and check it.

What is missing his passion? When you find a person who love

to marry his bed. OK, I will not think about what

do I do with my time and my life because what you do with your

time translate to what your life will become.

Am I talking to somebody? What you do with your time

translate to what your life will become.

So but when passion is missing OK you will be wasting time not

knowing that you are wasting your life.

Any man that love to waste time is already wasting his life.

So whether you will be a diligent person, up and doing

person or an indolent person will be determined by either the

presence or absence of passion. I describe passion as the active

form of power. Potential is the passive form of

power. Passion is the active form of

power. Potential is silent, Passion

cannot be silent. Passion will speak, Passion will

move, Passion will roam, Passion will fly.

Are you with me? Potential can sit down and be

dreaming. Hello, you dream, your potential

can inspire dream fulfilling that dream where you will have

to involve passion. So passion is the active form of

power, whereas potential is the latent form of power.

It is sitting down there, it is silent there because something

has to be done to it to make it go into action.

To give your potential will go into action and fulfil your

dream, then you must wake up your passion, tell somebody wake

up your passion. So it is the active form of

power. So a potential that is dormant

and not backed by passion cannot fulfill your dream.

So passion is the activator of potential.

Passion is the activator of what potential you know when you buy

a SIM card. I don't know whether they still

do that today. Maybe today's SIM card artifacts

itself. But in those days when we when

this GSM thing came to our country, by the time you buy the

SIM card and you put it in your phone, it will not work

immediately. They will ask us to go and

activate it. Press the name of the law.

So passion is the activator of potential.

So we can therefore explain passion to connote the inner

driving power or the self motivation to pursue purpose in

inner driving power. OK, that is making you to step

out or the self motivation to pursue purpose.

And where there is no self motivation, there will be no

silos usage or silos engagement of potential where there's no

self motivation. So that's self motivation, to

seriously use your potential, to seriously engage your ability.

That self motivation, it will be provided or supplied by passion.

So passion, you can again consider it as the raw material

needed to generate power, the power that you need to pursue

purpose. So when you lack passion, you

will obviously lack power. The power may be there, but

power will be useless. Hello.

So when you lack passion, you will obviously not put your

power to use. But if your passion is active

and alive, you will not love to stay idle, you will not love to

stay idle. When there is responsibility,

you will not love to hide OK and allow others to to do it.

Praise the name of the law where you have passion.

Dodge. Your responsibility will not be

a part of your style. You know the style of some

people used to always dodge responsibility.

Food is ready, come and hit kind of people.

They will not contribute anything to the making of the

food, Making the food available, they are not part of it.

Processing the food, they are not part of it, OK, but when it

is time to eat it, they want to take the lion's share.

But if you are a man with an active passion, you will not

enjoy staying idle. So when you love to stay

complacent, when you are in any system and you love to stay in

different, what you lack is not money, what you lack is passion.

A lot of people blame their inability to achieve success or

money. EBO who columns are you?

Italian saju, A miffy fetchy oluma saju.

So they just sit down waiting for when the money will come

before they step out. No, it is where you lack passion

that you think like that. So what to lack is not money.

What to lack is passion. Passion.

Passion is the drive that will make you start small, knowing

fully well that you can always grow.

But when passion is not there, you will blame you're not

growing OK or not having money. And the devil understand this

perfectly. So when the devil is out to

discourage you from pursuing purpose, if we attack your

passion, the devil knows very well that if a man has the right

kind of passion, Holy Ghost inspired passion, that kind of

person cannot be deemed. So what he does is to attack

your passion. So anytime you are sensing

discouragement, the devil is after your passion and

indirectly after your success. Am I talking to somebody?

Say I will no longer give in to discouragement.

I can't hear you. So when we're talking about

passion, it's not just having interest in anything.

It is having the willpower to drive or to pursue your

interests. What do you like to become in

the future because you have interests in medicine, Say I

said medicine, so that's interest now.

But if that interest will translate to what you will

pursue, passion must be involved.

It is passion that give you the willpower while others are while

in the will, their time. You bury yourself in the

library. Hello.

OK, while all that are partying around, you are drilling

yourself on the pitch, OK, Because there's a peak in

athletics that you want to attain.

There's a record you want to break passion.

It's not just having interest in the thing.

It is about having the willpower to drive towards achieving your

purpose, to pursue your interests.

So the moment you sense a dying passion, you're already losing

purpose. Hello, you are an evangelist,

OK? The moment you start to lose

passion to weakness, you're already losing your purpose.

Ditto for any other life endeavour.

So when you sense a dying passion, it's only a question of

time, you will start to enter the uselessness mode of life.

I pray in the name of Jesus your life will not be useless.

Who is a useless person? A useless person?

One of the things you see that can size their life is lack of

vision for more often than I that note some of them who have

passion and who have vision lack the passion to pursue it.

So when you find a useless man, he may not lack vision, but

certainly he lacks passion and that is the reason you could not

pursue his vision. When there's no passion, you'll

not be able to pursue your vision.

I ran up today so that we continue next week with how to

generate passion. So I round up by saying without

passion, you cannot pursue success.

So you need passion to power your dream.

You need passion to power your vision to fulfillment.

I pray in the name of Jesus, lukewarmness in the things of

the Spirit, lukewarmness towards the pursuit of your career,

lukewarmness and good attitude to study will no longer be the

characteristics of your destiny. In the name of Jesus, thank you

Jehovah God, in Jesus name we pray.

God bless you. We believe you'll be blessed by

the ministry of this message. You will do well to be the doer

of all you've heard. For further inquiry and
