Duncan Williams. I want to welcome you to church this morning. Amen.

Bible says that, and God added to the church daily. Amen. And

so your being here is not an accident. Amen. God has purposed for

Amen. So you're welcome to church again. Please be seated in the

presence of the Lord. Hallelujah. H Are you excited there? Here?

Are you excited? God is adding to our numbers? Amen? Well,

bless a lot for that. Amen. In the past few weeks I've been

teaching on the mind, the mind. Let's look at Romance Chapter twelve is

one and two. Have been teaching on the mind and the importance of the

mind to a believer, in that your mind is an asset that is very

dear to you as a child of God, and that if you don't save

God your mind, Satan can have hold of your mind and begin to control

you through the thoughts that he projects in your mind. And so in the

past few weeks we've learnt about how to secure your mind as a child of

God, in that if you secure your mind, then you will have a

sound mind. A sound mind is a mind that God can influence a man

to fulfill his purpose and his will, and a sound mind will bring you

to success. But if you don't save God your mind and your thoughts,

then you will begin to develop what we call a canal mind. A can

of mind is an enemy of God. A can of mind cannot receive from

God. A can of mind is rebellious against God. And you begin to

develop symptoms of an anxious mind, which is fueled by fear. And so

you will live in perpetual fear. When you hear a chicken making noise behind

your window, you will sleep again. When you are going out, you

are always afraid something will happen to you. You will live in perpetual fear.

And if you don't renew your mind, it can leave you to a

place of having a reprobate mind or a debased mind, and a debased mind

or a reprobate mind is so far away from God that the person who has

a reprobate mind has their mind darkened. There is darkness, complete darkness,

in the mind and in the heart of that person. And the end of

that is that you end up in destruction. Amen. Because Satan, according

to Joint Chapter ten West ten, comes to steal, to kill, and

to destroy. If you allow Satan to have control over your mind, your

end result will be that of destruction. Amen. But God expects you to

have a sound mind, because that is what He has giving to us.

Amen. And so our foundation scripture for the past few weeks has been romance

of the twelve is one and two. And the Bible says that I besiege

the brethren. Therefore, by the message of God, that you present your

bodies and living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service

to God? Amen? And I explain what reasonable service is in that Christ

Jesus has died on the cross for us. He has gone through the process

of offering to God the ultimate sacrifice by the shedding of his blood, so

that the demand for justice that comes with the wages of sin is death has

now been eternally paid for. And so now you and I have become the

righteousness of God. And God has now given us the benefits of salvation,

which includes eternal life, the gift of forgiveness of sin, the gift of

justification. He has given us the gift of the Holy Spirit, sanctification.

And so how we can say thank you to God is by offering ourselves as

a living sacrifice to Him, which is holy unacceptable. Amen to him.

Can I hear an Amen? If you understand what I'm saying A man,

Let's weaves two and the writer is saying that do not conform to this world,

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may be

able to prove that which is the good will of God, the acceptable will

of God, and the perfect will of God. Amen. To know what

the perfect will of God is for your life. To know what the good

will of God is for your life, to know what the acceptable will of

God for your life is, requires that we renew our minds. Amen.

So, because Jesus has saved us, God has made us his righteousness.

We are now the righteousness of God. And so now as children of God,

who call ourselves believers and disciples of the Lord Jesus. We need to

walk in holiness towards God and that requires us to renew our mind, to

renew our mind, to change our minds from the old way of thinking to

the new way of thinking, so that God can influence our mind, so

that God can lead us on the paths of righteousness that will bring us to

the place of great success. Amen. How many of you want to succeed

in this life? It is your goal to succeed in this life. Amen.

And so today I'm going to speak to you on secrets to success,

Secrets to success by the process of renewing of your mind. Okay, secrets

to success and we are going to start our journey is a series I'm going

to treat this month on the secrets of success. So we look at biblical

characters who were successful because they had a transformed mind, they had a renewed

mind, and because they were influenced greatly by God and by the word of

God. Amen. And so if you are a little bit observant, you

will notice many examples of people who are successful. Amen. How many of

you know anyone who is successful? You've heard of anyone who is successful.

Amen. There are lots of people who are successful. Well. Success can

come from two ways. It can either come from God or from the devil.

Three ways, either from God, from the devil, or by your

own strength to understand so you can succeed your own strength. Success can come

from the devil. Have you seen the four to nine boys who drive the

messites benz in town? They are considered to be successful. They've sold their

soul to the devil. And the result of it is that saytown will give

them a messites Benz and give them a little money to rent a nice apartment

air condition, and they will be there fooling around with girls. And there

is another success that can come from God. Amen. And the Bible says

that the blessings of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow to it.

So when you receive the success that comes from God, there is a blessing

with it, and there is no sadness or sorrow with it. Amen.

And so you would see that there are many other biblical people in the Word

of God who have been successful, and as children of God and believers,

it is in our interest to learn from them and to live by their example.

So that we can also be successful. Amen. So someone may ask

why should a believer be successful? Why should a non believer be successful since

they don't believe in God. So you say that, oh, they're not

Christians, why should they be successful? Success comes by following principles, all

right, As you grow you get to know success comes by following principles.

So if you want to be successful, you just need to follow the principles

of those who are successful now and eventually you arrive at success. Amen.

If you want to follow the four nine Boys to be successful, there are

principles they follow. If you go to them, they'll teach you. If

you follow it, you end up. If you want to be successful as

a child of God, the God kind of way of being successful, there

are principles in the world of God that can potentially lead you to that success.

Amen. And so it's time to study about these biblical characters and to

learn from their ways. Amen. And so just a few points before I

go into my message for today. If you don't mind and you want to

write these down, you can just write them down quickly. Amen. The

first one is that there are no fast roads to success. There is no

fast road to success. Success takes time. Success takes process. Success takes

applying yourself to principles in order to achieve success in life. Amen. And

so if you see that somebody has built a house, somebody has bought a

ninscar, somebody is living, Okay, they just didn't happen overnight. It's

taking time and process to get them there, all right. So that's the

first point. Success takes time. Success takes process. And there is no

fast road to success. Everything that God has created that is good takes time.

Amen. There is no fast food with God. Everything that God has

created which is good takes time. Amen. Number two, success means prosperity.

Success means prosperity. The biblical success means prosperity because to be successful according

to God comes with prosperity. Amen. When you consider yourself to be blessed

of God according to the Word of God, the blessings of the Lord makes

rich and adds no sorrow to it. Amen. So then it means that

if you are praying to God, instead of asking God to make you rich,

ask God to bless you. When God blesses you, riches will come.

Amen. Riches will come and there will be no sorrow to it.

Karahi a Amen, wonderful Amen. So now let's go straight into our listen

for today focusing on Okay, let me give you one point one more points

and then we'll go straight into looking at Abraham. Number. So what number

is it? Number three? Yes, follow after success. If you want

to succeed, follow successful people. If you want to succeed, follow after

successful people. And so even for me, as your pastor, I have

had to learn from successful past this in order to be able to teach you

and to preach to you properly, and to pastor you properly. Do you

understand, yes, So if you want to be successful, learn from successful

people. Follow successful people so you can also get to where they are and

finally, choose God's way of success or choose God's way for success. Choose

God's way for success. The thing is that Satan can give you success,

but it will come at a cost. Satan will require your soul and you

will enjoy all the success in this life, but you will be short lived

and then you demand your soul back. I hope you understand. When you

go to Satan and he he, he takes your soul, you trade in

your soul for success. Every year you have to send a soul to him

to keep you alive. The year you don't get a soul to take to

him, he will require a soul and you are dead. Amen. So

choose God's way Amen. And so it's time for you to succeed in life.

But we can succeed in life by choosing God's way. Amen. Or

can I hear an? Amen? So it's time also to follow after people

who have successfully inherited the promises of God. Let's look at Hebrews Chapter twelve,

Verse eleven. Hebrews Chapter twelve, vers. Eleven give me the NLT.

No. Discipline is enjoyable. While it is happening, it is painful,

But afterward there will be peaceful harvests of right living for those who are

trained in this way. Amen. Success the God kind of way comes with

discipline. Success comes with discipline. And so for you to be successful the

God kind of way requires you to learn how to be disciplined. Amen.

You should know when to get up from bed and pray. You should know

when to read your bible. To study your Bible. You should know when

to do your quiet time. You should know when to meditate on God's word.

Amen. I've gotten reports that many of you have stopped doing your quiet

time? How many of you did your quiet time today or this week?

Give the Lord a wave and shame the devil. Amen. Please look to

your left and rights your neighbor who hasn't lefted so ask them you craw was

wrong with you? Why an't you doing your quiet time? Please ask your

neighbor do you have a Bible? What did they say? Yes, some

people are talking without moving their lips. I don't know how that is possible.

Please ask your neighbor do you have a bible? What it is?

He? Yes, they're not show or no answer. You have to do

your quiet time. Every child of God should own a bible. Amen.

Every child of God should own a bible because the word of God is what

has the ability to change your life. The word of God is what has

the ability to transform your life. Amen. So if you have a phone

and you don't have a Bible, I don't know what is wrong with you?

Do you understand and your phone is not a holy Bible? We all

know the things you've been doing on your phone, don't we? We know

there is a boy who comes to change here. He has been sacked from

school. You know why because he went to school, and why his teacher

was preaching I was watching pornography and one day sacked him. He told them

that his past said he should read songs of Solomon. So he has a

canal mind and is going to transform gradually transform to be a reprobate mind.

And you will bring a case on himself. When have I told you to

read songs of Solomon before? I'm looking for him to give him a knock

so that his brain resets. Amen. So, discipline is one way in

which we can attain success. Amen. Discipline is one way we can attain

success. And success in the kingdom is linked to the word of God.

The more of the Word of God you have in your hearts, the easier

it is for God to bring you to the path that will lead to success.

Can I hear an Amen? So, now let's look at Abraham,

the story of Abraham and how it is that he came he became successful.

How many of you have heard of Abraham before. I'm not talking about your

classmates who is called Abraham. I'm talking about Father Abraham, who is in

the Bible. Amen. So there was a great man in the Bible called

Father Abraham. Amen. And so let's look at Genesis chapter thirteen, versus

one and two. Genesis thirteen, verse one and two. Is he he?

You don't know about Abraham because you don't read your Bible. And if

you know anything in the Word of God and you pay attention, you realize

that his name wasn't Abraham before his name was Abrahm. His name was Abrahm,

but God changed his name later on to Abraham. Do you understand?

And you realize that as you are on the path of righteousness that leads to

success for many people, God would change your name. Do you understand God

would change your name. When I was thirteen years old, getting on fourteen

years old, God changed my first name. My name wasn't Ron when I

was born or my birth certificates it says Radna too. That's my Italian name.

Do you understand? And he means rebirth, rebirth, reincarnation. But

God changed my name to Ron, which means a wise ruler Jonathan. Yes,

he changed my name to someone who rules with counsel or wisdom. So

on the paths of success that God will set you on, very often he

will change your name and so Abram was married, he didn't have children,

jonastand and so the Bible says that an Abram went from Egypt, and he

and his wife and all that he had and lot with him to the south.

Next verse. Abram was very rich. He was successful. Amen.

He was what successful? And that is where God wants to take all of

us to. Amen. Who is with me? Who wants to be successful?

Amen? And so when God changed his name to Abraham, it was

because of a promise God made to him when he called him first. He

said, I will make you a blessing, and I will make you a

father of many nations. And so he changed his name to Abraham, which

means father of many nations. And because God is not a liar like some

of you, everything God says, he makes it come to pass. So

Abraham became a father of many nations. Amen. I see God changing your

name. Oh, yes, I see God giving you a name that is

linked to your destiny and the fulfillment of all that He has purpose concern in

your life. Amen. But you need to be yielded with a renewed mind

to walk in what God said. Amen. And he said, when God

was changing my name, he didn't tell anybody to come and tell me tally,

I've changed your name. I started listening to a certain amount of God.

He's a musician, Ron Connolly, and I used to like a song.

You are the solid rock, con wareestern, you are the Christ the

raison. I used to soak his songs. Jo understand. I used to

soak his songs. And then one day I was just there looking at me.

I said, I said, no, this name Charlie. And I

said to everybody in the house I did, and I said, public announcement

for your for your information from today. If you call me by that name,

I answer, my name is Ron. And then I went to the

school administration. I said, I've changed my name. Please cancel the sample

this one day and from that day I saw a difference in my life.

Amen. They are certain people. When they want to make a certain kind

of important decision, they come to me. Amen. I've helped many people

get married. Oh yes, oh yes, there is even one wedding I'm

supposed to go for in March. He's getting married by the wisdom of God.

Do you understand? Yes, So God would change your name to conform

to what he wants to do. In your life. Amen. So Abraham

was a person who knew God. Please ask your neighbor do you know God?

Amen? In order for you to be successful the Christian way, you

need to know God. Amen. So he knew God. God spoke to

him on countless occasions. And it's not just enough being a Christian being called

a Christian. You need to have a relationship with God so that God can

speak to you. God can influence your mind so that as a child of

God. Like God said of Abraham that Abraham is my friend, you're saying

I am a friend of God. Are you truly a friend of God?

Are you? Amen? You need to get to that point of having a

relationship with God. Amen. Abraham also fought and won many battles in his

lifetime. Abraham fought many battles in his lifetime, and life in itself is

a battle. Amen. The reason why many of you don't have testimonies is

that you are not winning the battles. When you start overcoming and winning the

battles, when we say testimony time, this whole place, everybody you come

in scual, I have a testimony. You are not winning, and so

you don't have a testimony. But if you begin to walk with God,

you will begin to have a testimony. Can I hear an Amen? Amen?

And Abraham died at a good old age, having seen the message of

God throughout his whole life. He didn't die at a young age. He

died at a good old age. And the Bible says that even when he

was old, his strength as an old man was equal to his strength when

he was a young man. So the Bible says us his days, so

his strength was so the older he grew, the stronger he became. However,

you understand, and those things come as a benefit from walking with God.

Amen. So now we want to look at the principle or the secrets

of Abraham and why he became successful and how he became successful. So today

I just touched on one point and that will build it up in the coming

week. Amen. And the number one point or principle for Abraham's success is

that Abraham was obedient to God. Abraham was obedient to God. We've been

learning about sacrifices. The Bible says that obedience is better than sacrifice Jonasand so

you now know how to offer spiritual sacrifices to God. But we are adding

more to it. We are adding another precept to it, which is obedience.

That the Bible says that being obedience to God is even better than the

sacrifice you are offering to God. Amen. And so Abraham was obedient to

God. Let's look at Genesis Chapter twelve is one and two. Genesis twelve

one and two, and this was the beginning. This was the first time

Abraham's name was head, and the first time his name was head. God

was giving him an instruction. And so the Bible says, and the Lord

said to Abrahm, get out of your country, from your family, and

from your father's house, to the land that I will show you best.

Two and I will make you a great nation. So you see, when

you see the patterns that God operates with, when God gives you an instruction,

there is usually a promise to it. So he says that leave.

When you leave, I will make you a great nation. I will bless

you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. Verst.

Three. I will bless those who bless you. So you see,

there is a kind of blessing that when you walk in right, they attracts

blessing for others. So when people see you, and they say, Oh,

God, bless you. God said that when they say, God,

bless you, I will bless them. In the same way, when those

who don't like you kiss you, they'll be smiling with you. By in

their hearts they are kissing you. God has seen them. He said that,

because I've seen them, I will cass them for you. Do you

get it? And he says, and in you, all the families of

the earth shall be blessed. In you, all the families of the earth

shall be blessed. And so because of the obedience of Abraham, the families

of the earth, which God is referring to Christians or the people of God,

who came out from Abraham, because Abraham had who, Yes, who

was Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham had Isaac. Isaac had who Jacob and Isel

a man isso had sons. There are those people at the other side.

And Jacob had how many sons? Twelve sons who became what the twelve tribes

of Israel. So we see out of one man, the families of the

earth were firmed. And Jesus Christ came out from one of the tribes of

Israel, the tribe of Word Judah and out of Jesus Christ. All of

us now have been adopted into the lineage of Abraham. Do you get it?

So now we are all beneficiaries of the blessings of Abraham. So when

we are singing Abraham's blessings, am i, Abraham's blessings am ine, we

are not lying. We can tap into the blessings of Abraham. Do you

get it? Yes? And so by Abraham or paying the voice of God,

he came to a place where he was called a father of many nations.

Amen. So the lessons to learn is that obedience leads to success.

Obedience leads to success. Can we say together? Can we say it again?

Amen? And what is obedience? Somebody look at the dictionary rendering or

what obediences? And as a child of God, you should be obedient to

every word of instruction. Amen, it should be obedience to every word of

instruction. The voice of instruction can be your parents, because they are the

ones God has given you too, your teachers, right, our brothers from

Ati your teachers. He teaches a voice of instruction because they are teaching you

electrical engineering engineer. They're teaching you the important knowledge to you. So their

voice of instruction? Do you understand your pastor is a voice of instruction because

as far as pastoral care is concerned, God has committed your soul to your

pastor to watch over you. So your pasta is like an angel. God

has set over you to watch over you. Do you understand? That is

when Harrison was dying, and it was on his bed I Wednesday, and

when I prayed for him, he woke up. If somebody else are going

to praise Charlie by now you are in six feet and do you understand?

So a voice of instruction instructs you on things that can lead you to a

better place. Amen. There's a young lady I know, a beautiful lady,

but she used to dress like a boy. I said to your madam,

you are a girl. You have to dress like a girl. You

can't be competing with the boys with boys hair style. Do the hairstyle that

girls do. Amen. And she started obeying, and very soon, you

know what will happened. Somebody will say, Charlie, I like this guy.

I want to marry her. Do you understand? And very soon she'd

be married. You'd be doing popping, should do wedding? Yes? So

when you are obedient. It brings you to the path of success. So

obedience is compliance with an order, a request, a law, or submission

to another authority. Do you understand? So, when God said to Abram,

leave, Abram left and that qualified him for success. Number two points

you need to write down. Delayed obedience is disobedience. Delayed obedience is disobedience.

So when you are instructed, then you say, but oh, but

let me do this one first. But you always have something to say,

and you do your mouth like a peacock and say that and not do what

you have been instructed to do. So delayed obedience is disobedience. Amen.

One thing you need to know about God is that God works in times and

seasons. Do you understand God works in times and in seasons and in this

season? It is a point or that we should be learning these things now

in this season, because five years from now your locations will change and you

will not have the opportunity to hear and learn these things. Do you get

it? So, if you don't apply to steady, if you don't apply

yourself toward steady and to hear, to listen, you miss out on the

information you need now for your future. Can I hear an. Amen,

that's why I encourage all of your notes. Take notes, write something.

You'll be amazed that in future you realize that, oh, I'm dealing with

a situation, and I heard Revereran say something like that. And you're going

to refer to your notes and you see the solution in there. Amen.

There is a saying that a short pencil is better than a long memory.

What a short pencil, it is better than a long memory. So take

notes, amen, take words. So number two point was what delayed?

Obedience is disobedience. And so when God told Abram that leave and go,

if Abram said, oh, let me stay here five years more, he

would have missed out on his opportunity. He would have missed out on his

destiny. Do you understand. And when it comes to salvation, many people

have missed out on their destiny because perhaps they had an altar call that Jesus

loves you. Jesus is knocking out the door of your heart. Come surrender

your life to Jesus. So Jesus come make you what he wants you to

be. But they would delay because they are happy in the sin. They

are inside the sin, and they will delay. And the time that they

decide to be born again, they would have wasted a lot of time.

Do you understand? They would have wasted so much time, and it would

take them to crank extra in order to get to where God wants them to

be. So when you hear the voice of God, you need to obey

pronto, all right, you need to obey. Now. The blessings of

the Lord are in threefold. There's one hundredfold blessing, there's a sixtyfold blessing,

and there's a twenty or thirty fold blessing. Right. The one hundred

fold blessing comes when you hear the voice of God and you instantly you are

qualified for one hundred fold blessing. So when you are about to do that

thing that God says you shouldn't do, and He fixed you and you obey,

you'll get a hundred fold blessing. Sixty fold blessings come when you listen

to your pastor and the people that God are set above you spiritually. Do

you understand, yes? And twenty or thirty fold blessing is when you show

kindness to others. When you show kindness to others. A few years back,

about eight or ten years ago, I was in the main service,

and that applied to many places for a job. You know, I wanted

to change jobs because where I was they weren't paying me well. And my

cousin came home one day. I didn't have any money, and she just

gave me fifty CDs. And that fifty cities is very important because that my

cousin, she's very stingy. She don't give you no nero. So I

put that was only money in my wallet. I put it in my wallet

a bran pie. I came to church. I had money. You see,

the wisdom of God is this that if you're a church person and you

have a car, right, you should always have fueling your car to go

to church. So though I didn't have money on me my car, there

was full inside to go to church. And for like one month. So

I came to church and while I was in church, I was sitting there,

they were preaching, and then I heard God say, I required a

fifty CDs from you. Meanwhile, before I came to church, I already

made plans when I closed. I buy comed beef, I'll buy onions,

I'll buy tomatos. I was single. Then I'll buy spaghetti and then I'll

make myself a nice meal. I usually like drinking Coca lots. I'll buy

Coca Cola chilled one. I'll add it to the equation. God said,

I need a fifty CDs. And because I know the voice of God,

I obeyed instantly, and I put the fifty cities in an envelope. So

when the past I was walking and he walked past. I was in the

choir then, and then I came and dropped my seat. The moment my

envelope hits the floor, the man stopped preaching and he turned around and he

came straight to me and said, yay. God said, I should tell

you because of your obedience, he's going to bless you. Do you understand

when you obey the voice of God, it attracts a hundred fold blessing.

Three weeks later, a company came to look for me that they want to

employ me. They'll give me five thousand cities a month. That was then,

consider I gave you Amaha much to God fifty cities. Now I was

going to get five thousand. Hey, I can buy all the combiff in

the world. I can make all the spaghetti world just for obedience. So

sometimes God will just ask you just live holy for me. That's all I

want. Just don't do what other people are doing. That is all I

want. That is your reasonable sacrifice to me and for the promise of God.

God will give you a nice husband. God will give you a nice

wife. You will have beautiful, lovely children. God will give you a

nice place to live. Do you understand when you've finished school you will not

be Do you know people when they finish school they have to go and sleep

around before they get a job. Yes, but that will not be your

story because by the time you finish school, the job is waiting for you.

You understand. Even when they say there's no vacancy, don't mind the

no vacancy. God can create a God has done it for me many times.

They will create a different office for you. Come and put you there.

Put their condition, Charlie, wake, you'll pay you. Do you

understand? So when you obey God, and you obey God's instruction, it

can attract for you one hundred fold blessing. Amen. And I was like

ten years ago. So imagine how God has blessed me. You understand,

Yes, imagine I've bought a land. I had plans to go and build

a nice house on it. God said, I required that land from you,

and I was like, hey, Devo, don't text me. So

I came to church and Papower was preaching and he said you you're at the

bag. God said, should give land, and you're there playing the food.

If you know what's good for you, better do what is needed.

For the next day, I brought my land papers, gave it to the

bishop. I gave it to the church. Do you understand? And I

know God is going to give me many lands. Oh? Yes, because

I've obeyed. I've done my part. The rest is for him. So

when I need land, I said God, according to that way that you

said, hear my cry, Oh God, and answer me speedily? Amen?

And God will answer. Do you understand? But please ask for you?

How are you listening to God's instruction? How are you obeying? Since

you were born up ontil now? When have you obeyed the voice of God

so that I can bring you to the place of success? Amen? So

renewing your mind and being transformed requires you to be able to obey the voice

of God. Can I hear an? Amen? And so you see when

God told Abraham that leave travel to a strange land. He didn't give him

the destination. He says, just go. He didn't give my destination.

He said, go, I will show you. And so Abraham left and

he obeyed the voice of God. And so we need to remember that greatness

is dependent on obedience to the voice of God. Greatness is dependent on our

obedience to the voice of God. Amen, let's all stand up just for

one second. Let's well stand. Let's help those who are sleeping, Yes,

or else. I'll take my phone and I ask Priscal to take a

picture of there and put them on the screen. We have not done that

in a long time. We should do that one of these days. Oh

yeah, we'll do that next week. We start next week. Amen,

just lift right hand to the Lord. Say, Father, help me to

be obedient to your voice. Say help me to be obedient to your voice,

the mighty name of Jesus. Amen, please be seated. Detrono me

Chapter twenty eight, verse one and two. The turn on me twenty eight,

verse one and two. The reason why we need to obedience, we

need to be obedience to God's voice is this says, now we shall come

to pass that if you diligent obey, if you word diligently obey. Talk

to me. If you word diligently obey, what does it mean to be

diligent? Please find us give us the dictionary of what diligence means. If

you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all

his commandments. Now, the commandments of God are either spoken or written.

When you observe carefully all his commandments, which is commanded to you today,

that the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the

earth. Who wants to be set high in this life? Yes, you

want to be set high. The secrets to it is to obey the voice

of God diligently and to observe all his commandments. Amen, I can see

many of you, especially the young ladies. You are going to grow up

into very beautiful women, godly women. God is going to give you nice

husbands, do you understand. But until you get there, you need to

start to hear and to diligently harken to the voice of God. To be

diligent means to be constantine effort to accomplish something. To be constant, you

don't be like a chameleon. Today you are cod tomorrow are heart. No,

be constant, be hot for God constance. To accomplish something, you

must be attentive, and you must be persistent in doing something. So it

must be attentive to the voice of God. You must be persistent in following

the instruction of God. Do you understand you must be The day Harrison's mother

called me the Harrison is in the hospital, it was in the evening when

I got her on the phone. She'll tried calling me the whole day.

I think she wasn't getting me. It was in the evening, it was

around I was about to come from midweek service, was around six thirty and

from where I lived to a shaman on a regular day where there is traffic,

it would have taken me not less than five hours do it. But

I heard the voice of God said go. So when I started my I

put on my maps. Suddenly the road was green on the maps green,

no traffic green all the way. Do you understand When we got to a

shaman, the traffic suddenly just moved. All the cars were moving. And

it is not the first time God has done that for me before. Then

we got there, We're there for less than ten minutes and we left.

We came and got back to church to do midweek service. Do you get

it? When you obey the voice of God, God will anything in your

path as an obstruction. They will move away so that you move forward.

Amen. But it requires you to hacking to the voice of God to obey.

Purpose in your heart that I would obey the voice of God. When

you read the word of God, you do your quiet time. You see

something as an instruction, you purpose in your heart. I'm going to obey

this word. Whether it makes me popular or not, I don't want.

I want to obey. Listen. God will exhort you. He will set

you above nations. Amen. He will get you above. And God has

sets me on the heath of success. Very soon, you hear, not

too long, I'll be a bishop. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah yeah. You understand. Yes, because the path God has set me

on it will. I will get there by all means. Do you understand.

And one of these days you'll be driving in town, you see a

big building and then you see my name on the building. Oh yes,

oh, yes, you see it. It will happen. But in order

to get there, you need to be obedient to the voice of God.

Can I hear an? Amen? Amen. Let's go back to the structure

Detronomy twenty eight Ns one and two. There's two and all these blessings shall

come upon you and overtake you, the blessings of God that makes rich and

adds no sorrows. The blessings will come upon you, and they will overtake

you. Overtake means that it will bypass you. In fact, it will

start change. The blessings will chase you first. It will chase you until

it gets to you. And while it's upon you, it will bypass you

and go ahead of you. So, then in your life you are The

path you are on is blessings you are looking at because you obey the voice

of your God. Amen. When you obey the voice of God, God's

blessing will come upon you. You God's blessings will overtake you. Amen.

So when you're saying your goodness is running enough, it is running enough to

me? In your mind, you're thinking your blessing is running enough, is

running enough? Your blessing is overtaking me? Now is overtaking me? Your

blessing is upon me? Now it is upon you. Will have expression because

it will be manifested in your life. Can I hear an amen? Amen?

So obedience is necessary for the blessings of God. Number three points on

the points I was giving you before, is that God requires your full obedience?

Amen? Can we say together, God requires my full obedience? Amen?

Not how for obedience? Not your friend saying seventy percent. God requires

all your obedience. Amen. God requires all your obedience. So I've spoken

to you about the heart before that in order to save God diligently, you

need to love the Lord with all your heart. You need to love the

Lord with all your mind. You need to love the Lord with all your

soul. You need to love the Lord with all your strength. God requires

all of you in order for his blessings to be made manifesting you. God

requires all of you in order for him to find expression in you. Do

you understand? God requires all of you? So if it's your obedience,

it requires all of your obedience. And when you obey him, your blessings

will be made manifest for all to see. Can I hear an amen?

Amen? And so even in Abraham's obedience to God, initially he obeyed God

half in half The instruction was that leave and go. So it was just

supposed to be him and his wife and all that he had. But he

carried his father, and he carried lots. How many of you have heard

of lots? Did you see the trouble Lord gave Abraham? He should have

left him there, he carried him. And guess what. For as long

as Abraham's father was with him and Lot was with him, God didn't speak

to him again. God did not speak to him again. So the lesson

lean is that when you hear from God, obey fully what God has not

said, don't do. Don't do it, only do what God has said

you should do. Amen. But that day Abraham's father died, and Lot

left Or spoke to him, and he said, now lift up your head

and go this way. Amen. So God requires what all of our obedience

in order to see His goodness in our lives. Amen. Can you please

stand with me on your feet and so write these final points down That disobedience

leads to a curse. Disobedience leads to a curse. Amen. So,

as a child of God, purpose in your heart not to be disobedient to

God. Amen. Ales in your heart not to be disobedient to the voice

of God. You want to just pray one prayer for yourself before I leave

that. Lord, I've come to you boldly to obtain mercy. Everywhere I've

disobeyed you, everywhere I have disobeyed you by the mercies of God. Father,

forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me everywhere I have

you, Father, please forgive me. Can you pray that prayer for yourself

briefly, Just open your mouth and pray the prayer for yourself. Just pray

that prayer for yourself. Just pray that prayer for yourself. Lord, we

have come to the messy seat, that messy seat on which the blood of

Jesus was shed. And Father, we ask for pardon. Messy Lord,

mercy, Lord, messy Lord, messy Lord, mersy Lord, in the

name of Jesus. Mercy, Lo mercy, Lo mercy, in the name

of Jesus, mercy in the In Jesus Mighty a Amens nineteen Romance, chapter

five, verse nineteen. Look at this scripture carefully. The Bible says that

for by one man's disobedience, many were made word sinners. By one man's

disobedience, many were made sinners also also by one man's word obedience, many

will be made righteous. So by Adam's trespass or disobedience, humanity were classified

to be sinners as far as God is concerned. But by the obedience of

Christ Jesus, we have now been made the righteousness of God. Amen.

Sometimes in your family there is someone that probably has died long time ago,

who disobeyed God in a way that you are suffering for it now. So

we want to pray again, And this time we are saying to God that

on the basis of the blood of Jesus that was shared on the cross of

Calvary, we've come laying hold on the messyicy of God, the Lord,

any iniquity, any trespass, any disobedience in my bloodline for which I've become

a beneficiary of the sufferings of it. That today I ask for mercy,

forgive me and set me apart because I've believed in you. Just open your

mouth briefly and pray that prayer earnestly to God. Pray that prayer to the

Lord by the mercies of God, by the mercies of God, by the

mercies of God. Whatever iniquity of the blood line, whatever trespass of the

blood line, whatever disobedience of the blood line, that, Oh God,

has brought my family into sin and into distribute, for which I've become a

beneficiary of the effects of that sin and iniquity. Today, Oh God,

by the mercies of God, we plead the blood of Jesus as we lay

hold to the messy seat, that this morning we come boldly before your throne

off grace, that we may obtain mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy,

mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy. Oh come, mercy, Oh Come,

mercy, Oh Come, in the name of Jesus, we pray with

thanksgiving. Amen, I said, Amen. Sometimes when I look at some

of your faces and I say prayer, prayer that can save your life,

and you are looking at me like I'm a joker, I laugh in my

head. Amen, you don't know how to pray. You know how to

pray or you pray without opening your mouth. And part of the training are

getting here is to learn how to pray. You watch and you learn and

you pray the same way. Do you understand sometimes there are things in your

bloodline that will follow you. They will follow you. I thought you got

change my name, my old name is the same name my father has,

and my father was a womanizer. Do you understand I have a big sister.

We are just four months apart from different mothers. I have siblings in

London from different mothers. I could have easily been a womanizer. But by

the messy of God, do you understand? So there are things in your

bloodline that potentially will fight against you, that would take you far away from

the will of God, that would take you far away from the purpose of

God, that would take you far away from the path that leads to success

that comes from God. Amen. So when you are present and an opportunity

to pray, you pray. We're going to pray one more time. Amen,

with your right hand lifted see Father, the mighty name of Jesus,

we come boldly before you're thrown off grace, that we may obtain mercy.

Say today, on the account of the blood of Jesus, we obtain mercy

from the messy seat of God. We obtain mercy from the messy seat of

God. We obtain mercy from every iniquity of disobedience from our blood lying in

the name of Jesus. And we declare the medium of the blood of the

lamb of God. We are now the righteousness of God in Jesus' precious name.

We pray with thanksgiving. Amen. Can you just close your eyes,

everybody, and just bow your head briefly. If you are here, you're

not born again. You don't know Jesus. Jesus is not lord over your

life. You have not committed your life to Jesus to submit your life,

to obey him and to obey his command. Jesus said, stand at the

door, and I knock. If anyone will hear my voice and open the

door, I will come in and dine with him. So today Jesus is

speaking to you. He's at the door of your heart. He wants to

come and live in your life. He wants to influence your life so you

can become everything God has purpose for you to be. If you are here,

you want to accept Jesus. You want to surrender your life to Jesus.

Please come to where I am in the front and let's say a short

prayer together. If you are here, you don't know Jesus. You want

Jesus to be lord over your life. You want to surrender your life to

Jesus, or you are born again. But you are not Christian. You

are a disobedient Christian. You don't obey the voice of God. You want

to surrender your life to Christ. Jesus. If you are such a person,

please come to me. Let's say a prayer together. If you are

such a person, please come to me. Let's say a prayer together.

Final Call. You are here. You don't know Jesus. You want to

surrender your life to Jesus. You want to reddicate your life to Jesus.

You want to begin to obey the voice of God so that God can lead

you on the paths of righteousness for His namesake. You want to receive Christ.

Jesus. Please come to me in the front wherever you are. Final

Call. Tomorrow may be too late, but today you have the opportunity.

Jesus is standing at the door of your heart and he's knocking. If you'll

open and for him to come in, then he can make you all that

God has papers for you to be. Final Call. Amen, thank you

for coming forward a man. Just lift your right hand to the Lord.

Say Lord Jesus, I thank you that you are the only one who can

save me, who can redeem me, who can make me like Christ.

Jesus, I pray, and I believe in my heart that you are the

Son of God that God sent to die for me. I believe that you

died, and on the third day you rose again. I believe that you

are seated at the right hand of the Father praying for me. I open

my heart. Please let your spirit come and live in me, and make

me everything that you have purpose for me to be in Jesus' mighty nay.

Amen, God bless you richly. Just go this way to where Shepherd Jifa

and Shepherd Zigar standing. Just go to them, give you some information,

and join us back for service. Amen, Praise the Lord. Are we

going to be obedient to the voice of God.
