ultimate sacrifice. Now, how many of you were there? You

You're not there, but it's okay. We hope that next
-
time you'll be there. Man, And I want you to
-
help me thank God for especially a person in my life.
-
You know, you know, if not for this man, I
-
wouldn't have come close to I'd Bishop Nicholas, that Williams.
-
I'm telling you. And you know, for me, I've come
-
to like honoring people, no matter how little you. I
-
want to honor you, and I want you to help
-
me to honor the life of Prophet Joke that can
-
will him? Help me honor him? Just help you all night, man,
-
Harlee Lawyer, and see you see a lot of us,
-
a lot of us. If not for Prophet Joel, who
-
is not Bishop Joel, you wouldn't have come close to Shore. Now,
-
I'm telling you a lot of us, a lot of
-
a lot of us who didn't have come close to him.
-
It is just by his grace, it's just by it's
-
obedience to the world of God and seeing some of
-
us as people who can't do much more. And he
-
held our answer and took us to him. I know
-
that I also hold your answer and take you there.
-
And it's like you're not happy. I said, you hold
-
the answer and you take you there, har Li lawyer. Amen,
-
and one last person, just look at the persic city.
-
Enter the person, the way you have dressed. It's good
-
he brought into church and didn't take it anywhere down church.
-
Give the person. I say, you're welcome to church, and
-
please be seated our len lawyer. We've come to church
-
and today we want to talk about something powerful. I
-
believe who bless the life of somebody? Amen? About that
-
period we've been looking at the greatest commandment, and I mean,
-
when you love God, your hearts always before him, Try
-
pray something, play something you have to always before him.
-
If you love God, Yeah, you have to always before Him.
-
But today I want to move into another dimension as
-
we've entered into a new man the amount of Beth,
-
and talk about a sub Chadge I have titled born
-
to Lead like Christ, bond to lead like Christ Genesis,
-
Chapter one, verse twenty six to twenty eight. Bonnd to lead.
-
How many of you believe that you are a leader
-
or how many of you believe that you are going
-
to become a leader some day? Yeah? So I mean
-
that everybody sitting in her believes that tomorrow or I
-
think now, you're a leader. That's why you be a leader. Amen,
-
And that is why I want to talk to you
-
on this great subject, bund to lead like Christ, because
-
not all leaders are leading like Christ, not all leaders.
-
For you to lead, you must always have a principle
-
in mind. And that principle I have come to learn
-
and I've come to understand it in one of the principles.
-
When you read the book seven seven laws or seven
-
principles of effective, they're highly effective. He says, as starts
-
with the aim in mind. So for you to be
-
a leader, you must always have the aid in mind.
-
Where do you want to go? To a leadership. Where
-
do you want to go to your leadership? Jesus as
-
knew where you wanted to go with his leadership. He
-
knew there was a crown prepared for him. He knew,
-
he knew, and therefore when he came on that he
-
led and never confirmed to the things of this world.
-
He had his own principles, he had his own care values,
-
and he followed day after day after day. And that
-
is why I see it. That's very important for us
-
to talk about the subject because you see, as little
-
as you are, you have potential president of the nation. Yea, yeah,
-
I don't know why you're not clapping. I said, as
-
little as you are, you are a potential president of
-
this nation. As little as you are, you are a
-
potential You and general secretary astitleisten. As little as you are,
-
you are potentious. See you of a multipate leon company.
-
That's still ask you a stile as you are so
-
getting some of this. This is very important because when
-
you do understand some of the principles, you work on
-
the face of the year and you die, and you
-
die not fulfilling your purpose in life. The richest part
-
of this world, people say, is the semmetry. People have died.
-
Leaders have died, yet they never manifested their leadership skills,
-
and they are there. They're go. They use their leadership
-
skills to drink a because they didn't know they were
-
born to become leaders. Bear by class prefects. Er by prefects. Yes, Domado,
-
domo domado Park park show prefer So when people are
-
looking for a park show, they call you, shep organized.
-
When people are looking for park they look, they call you.
-
At the point in time my life, when people were
-
looking for park and things, they will call me Chali,
-
where's the next available joints? When people are looking for
-
the next event in town, it's you they call. So
-
you have become a leader. Would there are people to events?
-
But that is not what we are looking at. Tea
-
after one best wing the sixty give me yes k James.
-
And God said, let us make man in our image,
-
after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the
-
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the earth,
-
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
-
every creeping thing that crepled upon the earth Vest. Twenty seven.
-
So God created man in his own image, in the
-
image of God, he created him male and female. God
-
created man in his own image. But understand that before
-
God created man, there was a vision. There was a
-
certain vision and purpose for creative man. And invest twenty
-
the Bible said, God said, let us make man so
-
that man have dominion. For man to have dominion is
-
to understand that man needed to have settain core values,
-
a certain principles. You cannot have dominion when you don't
-
abide by certain principles and covalues. Then in verse twenty eight,
-
the Bible says, look at the twenty eight, and God
-
bless them. After God had blessed them, then the Bible said,
-
and God said, what followed was not a blessing, it
-
was an instruction. If it was a blessing. When you
-
go to Genesis chapter six, when Noah had come out
-
with the animals and their children, the Bible said, and
-
God bless them, saying it's different from and God bless
-
them and said, and God bless them saying, be fruitful, multiply.
-
That's what God told Noah. But for Adam, he said,
-
and God bless them. And God said, now listen to
-
the distraction. Be fruitful, no one multiply, No Ma two
-
sab you or replenish, subd you, and have dominium. You
-
cannot be fruitful when you are not intentional about being fruitful.
-
Fruitfulness stems from a place of intentionality. Multiplication stands from
-
a place of intentionality. Nothing happens by chance. Everything happens
-
with ac certain intentional attitude. Everything happens. Nothing happens by chance.
-
And if body is saying that the fruit will multiply,
-
how can you be fruitful whether or not by day
-
by certain presidents. And that's why I like the vision
-
of the Next Generation Church. The vision of the next
-
Generation Church is this raising prayer for christ Like leaders
-
to impact the generation. Put out on the screen, raising
-
prayer for christ Like leaders to impact their generation. And
-
I love what the mission state message is that raising
-
up a prayer a new generation of eternity mind that
-
christ Like leaders to impact their generation fruitfulness. When God
-
made man, understand that the main call objective of God
-
for making man was that man should come and have dominion.
-
In otherwise, man should lead, man should have dominion. That is,
-
a man should supervise, man should control, the man should direct,
-
man should supervise, man should control, man should direct. And
-
above a man should lead so that generation church see
-
that year. You must understand that at the end of
-
the day, what we seek to wark to do is
-
to make sure that the objective of God for your
-
life to have dominion, true leadership, can be fulfilled. I
-
just had only one day. Man. It tells me that
-
you don't know where you are. You don't know where
-
you are. Yeah, Matthew chapter five or sixteen. When God
-
made man and said have dominion, Jesus realize that we
-
were not following what God want has to do. And
-
therefore matt five system Jesus said, let your light so
-
shine before men. If your life is going to shine
-
before me, what does it mean. The mean that you
-
must be ahead of them, that your lights can shine
-
before them, that they'll see your good ways and glorify
-
your Father, which is in heaven. That means that you
-
must always be ahead of them so that your light
-
can shine before them. In other words, you must be leanding.
-
You must be ahead for them to see the lights shining. Yeah.
-
People did the understand then in first with that chatter
-
two Verst. Nine, Peter cut it by revelation, and he said,
-
but you are a chosen generation, a royal. Christ, let
-
me tell you, royals are not sevens royal's lead. Royals
-
are not sevens the lead. So if you are a royal,
-
you must understand that you were born to lead. You
-
were born to lead. I said you were born to lead,
-
born to lead, bound to lead, not like any other,
-
but born to lead like Christ, who had to follow Adam.
-
And now Adam will lead. But Adam made a great
-
error Adam. So therefore for God to correct it, God
-
to bring Jesus Christ so we can follow Christ. That
-
was the example of leadership, example of lifestyle that we
-
expected to lead. That is it? Therefore, who is a leader?
-
If you're talking about banning to lead like Christ? Who
-
is a leader? A leader is one who aims to
-
inspire people. Write it down. A leader is one who
-
aims to inspire people and motivate them towards a goal.
-
A leader is one who inspires people and motivates them
-
towards a goal or towards the achievement of a goal.
-
So you are not a leader. If you have no
-
goals and leading people to achieve a goal, they're not
-
a leader. That's what the definition is saying. You are
-
not a leader. See you can be a class preferred,
-
You can be a school preferred. You can be the
-
manager in your office, you can be whatever. If there
-
is no goal which I inspand people for them to achieve,
-
they're not a leader. You're not a leader. You're not tellingder.
-
But the next generation Church is not making such leaders.
-
Leaders who just sit down like arm chairmen. They sit
-
down bosses and don't even know what they are about.
-
That is not what next Journey is making people. Next
-
Yeen is making people to become like Christ and leave
-
people like Christ. They're not all leader. What is the
-
end in mind of a leader? For you to be
-
a leader, I must understand that the end of everything
-
is that people must make it to heaven, whether in
-
your office, in your school, at home, people must make
-
it to heaven. So if you're a leader and through
-
you nobody comes to no Christ, nobody comes to know
-
that there's something called heaven, there's a place called heaven.
-
You're not dead. They have let because why the plan
-
of Jesus or the plan of God for our lives
-
is to come and correct setting errors and help people
-
to make it to heaven. So if you're just leading
-
and leading people in the corporate world without influencing them
-
with the word of God, with the power of God,
-
and letting them understand the principles of the Kingdom of God.
-
You must understand that you have not lead, they have
-
not let because the end in mind is that people
-
must make it to hear to heaven. People must make
-
it to heaven. Have do you you say that there
-
are some leaders who lead people to become drunkards? So
-
how did you realize that there are some companies where
-
you go there you much becoming womanizer? Or if I'm
-
since our company before the money to himself will say
-
to you this night, this right day, they're going to
-
citizen you. We are going. We are all going. The
-
bill is on me listen. But amazing out of thousand
-
leaders zero points zero zero zero one who only say today,
-
we're all going for an all night No where you work,
-
how many workers are here? How many workers are here?
-
You are I'll not calling you? How many of you? Yes,
-
you said you're manager of where you're waking? Yes, standard
-
he said it is a manager. That mean that is
-
of a row boss. When was the last time you
-
called them and said, Talley, today, we are all going
-
to chuch when ain't see that by saying, you come
-
and give a testament God, I thank you from favor
-
favor by saying the reason why God has given that favor,
-
it's so that people can make it to heaven. Not
-
for your podcast to be heavy with money, but so
-
the people who make it to heaven zero points zero
-
zero zero one. Leaders who say today's Friday, we are
-
all going to church, or this Sunday we're all going
-
to church. If you don't come, I'm deducting your salary.
-
I was saying, hey, no leader will do that. But
-
yet we have leaders who said today, lunch is on me, today,
-
dinner is on me. Saturday, there we are all going
-
to eat at Reveldlessnie's house. That we know how to do.
-
But I just to understand that, I said, leader, the
-
end in mind is for people to make it to heaven.
-
Poplet to make it to heaven. It's our way. When
-
the wife comes that you can't come to his house.
-
That's the end in mind. So should be asking yourself.
-
I'm at school prefects, and some of you, yeah, your
-
school profits. The question is when was the last time
-
you want to stand in front of the school I said.
-
Christian said, lift up your hands. I want us to
-
pray this morning. When was the last time all from
-
one were stand up our farm? Two boys now down?
-
Today you have this first and all of you go down, Yes, yes, yeah,
-
that's how's the president. When was the last time you
-
said this week, the whole school we are first. God
-
made you that as a president, so that threw you
-
your good works. MATTHI five sistem can shine before me,
-
so they can follow Christ. They can follow you. Why
-
follow Christ? Paul said, follow me, follow my leadership? Wow,
-
I also followed. The leadership of Christ is not amazing.
-
It's amazing. It's amazing. I was telling a group of
-
people that you see, when you find yourself in the school,
-
it's not because you had good grades. Because people are
-
better and best grace than you have, but they didn't
-
find themselves in Saschrus. You find yourself in a company,
-
it's not because you were very dree or you have
-
autras or you are wise. You know, you find yourself
-
in the metca field, accounting field, whatever. It is not
-
because you are sharp. It is for a reason, and
-
the reason is that for you to find yourself there
-
and become their leaved and cost people to make it
-
to heave it. Let me tell you, Ganner, say a
-
nation we are struggling because people don't understand what leadership
-
is about. But for same change, for us, we must understand.
-
We must understand. You must understand. Else you're saying this vision.
-
Better'ssume it will falling water right, they stand down. You
-
cannot be a lead without a ladder. You cannot be
-
a leader without a ladder. It's important, Hashtar, Yet it
-
is important. You cannot be a leader without a ladder.
-
Every leader must have a ladder. Every leader. You can see,
-
when you are moving, people must follow you. You must
-
have people follow you. And you see if you don't
-
have the ladder, people cannot follow you. Well, what is
-
this ladder? There are certain things that you need to
-
have to build the ladder. And this I can't go
-
through the life again of my father, the Albishop Nicholas
-
and car Williams. For next he said, look at these
-
these things that build the ladder for us to be
-
able to do well. And you call them the core values.
-
The principles call values the mixed leaders, the covalues that
-
makes us become the leaders like Christ. But understand that
-
you cannot lead anybody if you have not first lead yourself.
-
You cannot lead anybody if you cannot first lead yourself.
-
Some of us we selt alarm to wake up, had
-
too to pray. You're nable to lead yourself, so you
-
can wake up if you snooze the alarm, you keep
-
snoozing people when they are following you. That's it. You
-
cannot lead people if you cannot lead yourself. That's it
-
some of us. All we need is for us we
-
give an opportunity to lead people by as yourself. You yourself?
-
Can you lead yourself? Look at the way you contact
-
in your life? Look at you? You look at your life.
-
When we give you people, I'm sure you're going to
-
kill them. Yeah, no, look at it. A woman in
-
labor just goes to the labor world and all of
-
a sudden this man comes in with the hammer, screw driver,
-
and he said, I'm the midwife. I'm going to receive
-
the baby we live. Being the husband of the woman
-
the wife, will you allow this man to do it?
-
Why it is? What is it who told this? A caplinter,
-
the hammer, the screw driver, the tools is who they
-
tell me is that she can not cause people to
-
follow you or influence the lives of people if you
-
don't have the right tools. I love it and me
-
I was supposed to be come and they didn't make me.
-
You see that attitude alone tell us us that you
-
cannot lead. If you're given it to you by night,
-
you would have been crushed. We didn't give it to you,
-
so because of that, you're not active. We didn't give
-
it to you. So because of that you are in
-
and out. You come today, you don't come tomorrow. When you
-
call your you're busy. It tells us that it only
-
shows that if we're given it to you by now,
-
would have died. You don't need to be given the
-
leadership position for it to lead. You don't need the
-
title to lead. Leadership is an attitude. Leadership is a lifestyle.
-
I don't need to recall a reveand minister to preach.
-
I don't need to be to be a pastor to preach.
-
All I need is the approval of God, and I'm done.
-
I preach. I don't need be called. I don't need
-
to be called the pastor of the church before I
-
preach or before I put up good behaviors because you're
-
not the department head. You're somewhere in that department. You're
-
not come look at the time, you've been the self
-
for Realiza, it's not favoring me. Who are you? Who
-
are you? Who are you? Who are you? It's way
-
you don't bridge like this. I was telling a group
-
of we one Friday that we have taken the call
-
of God for granted, and we have taken the body
-
of Christ for granted. So we are you see, it
-
is solely in the church, and forgive my language, it
-
is solely in the church that we accept every foolishness.
-
It's all in the church. Every folishness is welcome by you.
-
Your home. Your home. That's my single room where the
-
toilet and bath is in one place. You wake up
-
from the toilet boat and you are in the bathroom
-
that place. You don't a tall foolishness, but you won't
-
ask you to take foolishness in the house of God.
-
What are we talking about? Want to lead like Christ?
-
Won't be like number one? Cover you nomer one? What
-
do you need to build a number one? You need integrity? Integrity,
-
You need integrity. Tell somebody integrity, integrity, integrity. The other
-
the one man I don't know about. For some reason,
-
I'm learning a lot from him. He said, integrity is
-
what put food on my table. So when you touch
-
my integrity, I'll not be happy with you. For the
-
rest of your life, I'll not be happy with you.
-
Integrity is key in life. You see whether you're a baby,
-
whether you're thirteen years, whether you're fifteen years, Integrity is key. Integrity.
-
What is integrity? Write it down? The quality of being
-
honest and having strong christ Like principles that you cannot
-
or you refuse to change. That you don't change the
-
quality of being honest and having strong christ Like principles
-
that you refuse to change. Honesty. When we say integrity,
-
simply miss honesty. Be honest and as a leader, been
-
trained by the next adnas in church, honesty must be
-
our lifestyle. I don't go and see Mike and say
-
something else, and then I see Debbie and say something else.
-
Not their heads together. But for me, I'm okay with
-
Mike and I'm okay with Debbie. But Mike and Debbie
-
are fighting and you are here. Do you know what
-
you have become? You have become the devil, the devil.
-
Integrity is what makes us integrity. Integrity, integrity. You see,
-
we don't speak the truth by default. That's what I've
-
come to understand it is. And it's nothing to split
-
the truth by default in some of evenils. Somebody has
-
sent to your message, and you know that the reply
-
of giving to the person is a lie. You know,
-
you know here, you know that the message you just
-
tied to the person, you know it's a lie. Look
-
at John, it's what John, it's what's Look John, it's
-
what's for joining it. The Bible said, by year of
-
your father, the devil. Yeah, of your father, the devil,
-
and the last of your father, you will do. He
-
said he was a murderer from the beginning, and about
-
not in the truth. Why because there is no truth
-
in him. When he speak a lie, he speak care
-
of his own, for he is a word and the words.
-
So if you a liar, who is your father? So
-
it's any time you lie, anytime you move from integrity, honesty, truth.
-
Understand that you've deviated, and now you have submitted yourself.
-
Will is it willfully and happily with so much joy
-
to the devil that said that today, like the way
-
you come and say, Lord Jesus, I surrend out to you.
-
I give my life away. I said to you, in
-
the same way where you lie, the day you lie,
-
the day you move from integrity, from honesty. What I
-
said that satain here, I am here, I am. I
-
give myself to you from today, your son. That that
-
just integrity. You see. I love this picture because put
-
up each other. I love the picture because you see
-
and it's a compass. It's a compass. It is not
-
on the north, southeast or west. You can't tell where
-
it is. It means that at all the time, every day,
-
you must be food, integrity, integrity. I internally made my
-
I intentionally proposed my heart that I'll always be truthful.
-
So now people feel that I'm some way, it's not
-
that I'm somewhere. I'll tell you my mind and we
-
are going because I realized, I see the more I
-
try to please people and forget the word of God,
-
the more I sleep the sleep of death. Mm hmm, yeah, yeah.
-
Always want to be truthful. No, no, no, Church, we
-
see your next geen member. Your words must always you
-
see your your weight. Your life must be full of
-
honest integrity. As a prefer of the school as a
-
manager of a business. You know, sorry, I'm meeting on
-
you today. That hit on you. You will not be
-
a friended. But when I moved from here and I
-
go to another, the basically a friendly right now, that's
-
a coulie is he tell us he's a tailor? No, no,
-
a tailor. He said, he's a he's a fashion designer.
-
Let me change it. It's a tailor. It's a fashion designer.
-
I'm my collection. Any time you see me wearing a
-
calf tan nurs, we got a wessel. When you see
-
the calf tains, you know that that he shows both
-
middle and female. And and he's been sear from me.
-
Did we're grown up? I don't know how you sus
-
for me. You see, fashion bisigners can't easily. They can't
-
still lie. So what he said is their nature. Am
-
I not a liar? He will give him the material.
-
Will tell you next week. Next week you'll know said tomorrow.
-
If when you realize that the thing will not work,
-
can you call you and tell you, chalie, the way
-
that thing is going? Give me to this. I work
-
with him. This's also pasta quickly and a lot of
-
us Francis this was this is free. Admit how much
-
I pay? Yeah, you cannot pay. Look at you. Yeah,
-
but that is it. We have to be full. I've
-
been tegrated on next ways. Just throughout his whole life
-
and ministry, he was honest. Nothing changed about him. He
-
was honest every day when even they put the knife,
-
and it's truth. He said, I'm the savior of the world.
-
I'm still the best. You can kill me. Yeah, better
-
better the cour Jesus. And once more girl came to
-
be there. Actually you, I know you. You're part of
-
the book. Had one Come on one, come one, what
-
I'll do to shut down? Mh one, Come on, no
-
one tomorrow. If you don't shut down, what I'll do
-
to you? He said, whose if you don't come for
-
your daughter, what I'll do to him? You see, let
-
me tell you something. You can say you're honest, but
-
when thecumstance is, it's you the real honest. But as
-
the all of nation. And I pray that God will
-

Let me tell you a lot of companies said, when
-

-
I mean, you don't need to give you money to
-
respect him. I sent a message to a brother here
-
three weeks orfo is a lesson woman. I said, my
-
respect for you keeps growing every Sunday. I don't need
-
to send him that message, but I felt it that
-
now my respect for him is growing, like I respect
-
him respecting. Tell yourself our respects and the one that
-
comes close to me wherever I find myself, respect to everybody.
-
You're class teacher, you disrespect them, keep quiet? Then you're
-
still talking? Who are just laughing on their back? Your
-
boss will give you an assignment. You don't do it,
-
disrespect him? Passa there you man way crowd seeing me?
-
And then what should I do with this? I'm trying
-
to say, how might do they even play us? You
-
are giving me a tunder demands, yet you're giving me
-
a job that that you are supposed to pay me
-
three thousand man, I said, sorry, we watched our face
-
this week. Uh, you're laughing. But this is the attitude
-
and that's why I'm preaching it that for you. When
-
you find yourself in the company, people ask you where
-
do you fellowship and you tell them, I mean next year.
-
Not because you're a bad person, but they're asking because
-
you are executing setting good character attitudes. And when they
-
see you, they say, no taling Christ is in you,
-
and any time Christ in you, the hope of glory,
-
the hope of glory, Alan Lujah. Let me talk about
-
the last thing and then were close because they've showed
-
me time time of about Dad. The last thing I
-
want to talk about, which will help you build the
-
ladder is consequence. Consequence the core values that we have
-
been giving by fat I said a lot, and we
-
are believing that we'll be talking about it. We're talking
-
about them. Is somebody being blessed? If somebody learning something today? Consequence?
-
What is consequence? Write it down. Consequence is the result
-
of an action, or the effect or the results or
-
the effects of an action or a decision. Ticket Consequence
-
is the result or the effect of an action or
-
a decision. Life is full of decisions. Right from the
-
day you were born. Even when you were being born,
-
you had you had, you had the opportunity to decide
-
to come or not to come. You're wondering how somebody
-
holding them accord? When do I come to a holding
-
the team some of futality. Something would come out during
-
a few days things. Yeah, I remember when Joseph, why
-
was this boron or whatever? Joseph Joseph when he was
-
being born, I was in the labor ward all my children,
-
I'm there, I'm there. My wife would be pushing, I'm there,
-
and my wife said, I said, how can I kiss
-
someone who is crying? Is that we were romance people.
-
I can't do that. It's wickedness. Take your time at
-
this time. No kiss. In his prayer, when Joseph had
-
came out, I said, Ghana weare no, no, no, I
-
don't know this is ghana. Wead I'm shut it to us.
-
In us he would have come out ally when he
-
came up. No, they I said, look at this boy,
-
come out to her. Do you think we have for
-
the rest of the years to live here? Share? Life
-
is all about decision. So decision even to make a
-
decision to be part of next gen change, that's his
-
so consequence. Yeah, life is full of decisions, and every
-
decision we make, that's his so consequences. So one of
-
the principles you need to understand is that when you
-
know the consequence of a decision, decision making is easier.
-
Write it down. When you know the consequences of a decision,
-
decision making is easier. The reason why a lot of
-
us finds solving problems is that we don't know the
-
consequence of matters, the consequence of the decision we make.
-
If you know the consequence of the decision to have
-
that boy as your boyfriend, you have ended the relationship today.
-
If you know the consequence in spending time with him
-
in lonely places a loan with him, If you know
-
the consequence that comes with it, you stop to the Yeah,
-
somebody says, silence means consent if you know the consequence.
-
So people found themselves in certain place in life, which
-
they found themselves there because they didn't know the consequence
-
of the decision they were taking. And see when the
-
consequence happens. Correcting it can take a lifetime. Correct you
-
can't take a lifetime. And this is what you want
-
to avoid. As members orphanaghip. Some of you, the friends
-
you have, if not the consequence in having such friends.
-
By now, well you live here. You gotta tell your
-
child from today it's okay. We can call, you can
-
chat if you're not following me to my church for
-
you to become better, and you sit at to me
-
every Sunday today in ten sits, we cannot be friends.
-
I told my friends like that when I became a
-
when a god called me I realized that the friends
-
I had my wife knews bab enjoyment, and I told them,
-
if you cannot become like me and for us to
-
save God, I'm done with you and some of you.
-
The friends you have are the people who have convinced
-
you to start smoking. The friends you have but who
-
have convinced you and convinced you to start drinking a call.
-
They are the servee who have given giving you a
-
boyfriend and a girlfriend. They are the sad people telling
-
you you are not the man if you've not slept
-
with the girl. They are the same people, and they'll
-
tell you that if you don't do this, you're not
-
the man. You may be. That's years and your friends
-
may be influencing you will be are married. You know
-
what what's happening to you? I've even bewitched because of
-
such influence. A married man has come and you want
-
to get married. They're already married man because of the
-
friends you have. If you know the concic coints you
-
not take such decisions. I said, to be a part
-
of next gen has its own consequence. But I turn
-
God that to be a part of nations the consequence
-
is never negative. It is always positive. And the consequence
-
is that we want to make you to become a
-
prayer for Christ like leader who at all times will
-
impact their generation. That's the consequence of being anagen member.
-
That's the consequence, nothing more, nothing less, nothing more, nothing less.
-
So I see if you see that there, some of
-
you are afraid, even when you're been given as soon
-
as sigment I to him to do, you are afraid
-
by next year? Who caused you to stand before a crowd?
-
Oh you didn't, I said, nx yen. Who colls you
-
to stand before a crowd? And when you stand before
-
a crowd you are not only speaking fullish things. You
-
can't you cannot speak fullyh things. When you stand before crowd,
-
at you member, you were speaking wisdom. The people ask
-
who are these? And the Bible said when they took
-
notes of bitter Ah and the disciples and the relats,
-
that this wile were on liled. But when they took
-
note of them and short their bordness, this will work
-
dealing with Jesus. This will be your story. That way
-
people see you. What they all say is that this man,
-
this ladies, this sentiment have been in the next GENCI
-
Church not only following certain principles, but they are following
-
the principles of Christ. Of Christ. Mm hm, hello, the
-
principles of Christ. What are you talking about? Born to
-
lead like Christ, Jesus knew the consequence of every disease.
-
You to go. You can't tell me, she says, did
-
you know that at the end of the day when
-
he dies will not receive anything? Ah? My god, what
-
I say. I's gonna die for what? I haven't better
-
realized that, Charlie, the consequence. It has to be clear.
-
He went through your charge me. I have left everything.
-
You know, when I was making the decision, I didn't
-
think of the consequence. But now whether then it's going
-
that dimension is changing? My brother? What is inside for me?
-
I know you there you can charm money and think
-
so I know you can hear the sick. But me
-
to what this is? Haide for me? Make it clear,
-
magic cla. He wanted to know the consequence effect. The
-
result of the decision is making even better. Ah, Jesus
-
wish you would give up what he want to pray
-
and then I went to pray. You prayed three times,
-
so we prayed further further. Charlie challenge. If you go
-
do make this cap Chali, make this team, make make
-
it pass, make it pass. Let this day pass they possible,
-
let it pass by. See this has to be looking
-
at the crowd and look at the cross. Jesus, Charlie God,
-
if let it pass by? See I like what he says.
-
Always did he always focused on the crowd, not on
-
the cross. The cross is just for movement, but the
-
crown is forever. What is your focus? What is your focus?
-
What is your focus? The persecution is just for a moment,
-
but the reward they're off is forever. Don't leave the church.
-
Say somebody offended you. Don't leave the church because they
-
said you do not make you the leader. Don't leave
-
the church because you somebody has inserted you, has betrayed you.
-
Don't leave it. Don't use temporary situations to make permanent decisions.
-
Like I was there the last time somebody has heard
-
brooking hats and because a boy broke their hearts, all
-
men has becomes calm, all men because one boy, one
-
boy be brief your hearts. Now all men has becomes
-
cam And I was asking the last time, if all
-
men has come, he's a further is come Jesus, let
-
the Lord hap us. So he's spoken about being and
-
born to lead like Christ. And I've given you a
-
definition saying that a leader is what eliada is word one,
-
that's what who aims in words uh huh and whats
-
and motivate them towards yeah, towards the achievement of goals.
-
And I said that you can not be a leader
-
without words a ladder. And I said that you can
-
only build a ladder with certain principles to wit. By
-
the grace of God, our Father by revelation has caught
-
it and has given it to us. And I said,
-
number one, the first point is what integrity? And I said,
-
what is integrity? The quality of being honest and word
-
and having christ like principles. That what you refuse to change? Amen,
-
And we can see that in an an ansense if
-
you're a lie too, after they've sold their land, they light.
-
And that's what I have you lied to the Holy
-
spirit is if you know that everybody it's not flesh
-
by everybody's spirit. You don't lie to people you know.
-
Like number two, I said, I was the next point, honor,
-
And I said, the next jade churge you honor and
-
what was every definition of henry to regard or trace
-
someone with what or respect? And I've given you the example.
-
When you go home, you said, when you go home,
-
man your driver if I'm from here, No, when you
-
get to the cap, go to the driver, it's a
-
bra coffee And I forgot Charlie hits No, I'm sorry.
-
Good morning. The police will he will be shocked that
-
you have come to say y're sorry, because for the
-
past two day, yes, ever since you were born, that
-
weren't greeting men, said Charlie. And he's saying, and be
-
happy with them. And Google you give him buying pie,
-
buying pie and drink and it will change out. And
-
when this pray you even pray for you see share.
-
I know this is this is all matisarned my tra
-
last week I said, what consequence? And what did I
-
say about consequence the result or effect of an action
-
or decision? Take it amen, Holy lawyer, have you been
-
blassed this morning? No? Have you learned something and much
-
more we will be learning as we move on. So
-
by the end of the day and we can fully
-
commit to what God wants us to do. I said,
-
to be a leader You should first be able to
-
lead yourself. And you cannot be a leader when the
-
end result is not leading people to Christ or to Heaven,
-
but just achieving ordinary goals. That is no leadership. Leadership.
-
People must make it to heaven in Jesus' name. Can't
-
put your heirs together and even rise to your feet.
-
Rise to your feet as you bring yes, rise to
-
your faith. I want you to just pray one prayer,
-
just one prayer. The Lord, help me, help me to
-
follow the principles, help me, help me, give me the strength.
-
Lift up your voice and pray. Lift up your voice
-
and prayer, not silent praise. Lift up your voice. You see,
-
you should know yourself and know that chal the word.
-
Things are going. I'm not flowing, I'm not flu Lift
-
up a voice. This is the health cry of God.
-
This is the health cry of God. That each and
-
every one of us we will follow through, will follow through.
-
Say follow me as I follow Christ. It's important to
-
submit ourself under the lordship of Jesus Christ for him
-
to lead us that week and also lead artists. A
-
lift up, perverse and pray. In your company, your business,
-
whatever job you are starting, whatever business school you are in.
-
Understand that you are not there as a mistake. You
-
are there to cause the will of God to be fulfilled.
-
And I did say atmosphere, as every eye is closed
-
and every head is bowed, understand that leadership born to
-
lead Christ. Understand that Christ is the example we are following.
-
And if Christ is a example we are following, you
-
need to understand that in all pays you should look
-
up to him. You should look up to him. How
-
can you follow someone if you don't submit there too?
-
How can you follow someone you don't respect? How can
-
you follow someone who you have not believed in and
-
received as a lord of their personal savior. This is
-
the man we are talking about, jes says Ris. If
-
you're here, if not really fully submit that yourself to him,
-
I just want to, I just want to give this opportunity.
-
Just come forward and let me prove it, because it
-
does start from today. It does starts from today, as
-
every eyes closed and every head is bow its stuff.
-
You only say a past that pray for me, Just
-
lift up your haas if you want to see a
-
pasta pray for me, lift up person. I'll pray with you.
-
It does start from today, not tomorrow, but from today,
-
from today, if you want to come, come forward, let
-
me prove it you come forward. Come. Let me look
-
up to anybody, Look at anybody. I took a dish
-
like this about eighty years ago, and that is where
-
I am today. Somebody is looking. He said that I
-
want to be like Pasta James. It comes with the decision. Come,
-
and the consequence of the dision you're making is that
-
you become better tomorrow. Come, come, come, Come, let's break. Come.
-
It does starts from today? Does? It starts with that decision?
-
And I said, when you know the consequences of that
-
decision you're making, is she making? It's easy. The consequence
-
off you come to stand here today is that God
-
is going to make your life better. That's the poss Come, come,
