(00:09):
Let's pray everlasting. Father, we are grateful to you
for everything that you've done for us and greasing us and
giving us an opportunity to share fellowship together.
We ask that by your Spirit, you speak to us.
Our lives will never be the sameagain in Jesus precious name,

(00:33):
Amen. I'm I'm going to thank you
Jesus. You know, I've been thinking
about something and I realized that because men or because

(00:57):
males are highly egoistic, they don't like to submit themselves
for leadership. Because everybody feels like I
know what I'm about. You can't tell me what to do.
I mean, I know what's up. So a lot of guys, I mean, not a
lot of guys, all guys have ego. And it is that ego that when you

(01:21):
go to a church, you realize thatusually there are more women
than men because women are more easy to lead than men because
men feel they know. So I mean, what is the use of
gathering? That's if you remember growing

(01:42):
up in whoever church, that's where in that had women's
fellowship and men's fellowship.The women's fellowship was
always vibrant than the men's fellowship because of ego and it
is the reason why many men make foolish mistakes because of the
lack of mentorship and the lack of training.

(02:03):
A lot of you, your lives will bebetter if you subject your life
to training. A lot of you, you are making
silly mistakes because you don'tunderstand that as a man, you
need to be taught how to be a man.

(02:23):
A lot of people don't know that.And I'm going to run through a
few things for you so that you will be able to understand what
God intends that we, we as men will be like how will function,
you know, because our generationis split with a lot of

(02:49):
foolishness. If you if you don't know, I'm
telling you a generation is big a lot of foolishness.
And that's because you know, when God created man in Genesis
chapter 1 and 2, the Bible says that God, you know, created him
to have dominion over everythingthat he has made and you know,

(03:11):
created man in his own images. So there was a way man was
created to function, you know, but in terms of priority and in
terms of position and assignment, God made the man
first, not because the man was better, but because of the
purpose man has. He had to come first, not

(03:32):
because man is better than the woman, for example, to help
bring this to you know, a betterunderstanding when you're
building a building the most thefirst thing you do or the
foundational thing you do is to have a foundation, but it
doesn't mean that the foundationis the most important part of
the building. I don't know if you understand

(03:55):
it is the primary thing you do, but it is not the most important
because when you start building,you need windows, you need
doors, you need beans, you need roofing, but it doesn't mean
that. So it means in in God's
creation, what came first was because of the assignments that

(04:17):
God had for whoever came first. The reason why the foundation
comes first is because of the assignment of the foundation.
The foundation is not necessarily the most important
part of the building, but without the foundation, you
can't proceed with your building.
And Jesus tells us in Matthew Chapter 7 that the reason why
the foolish man's house came down was because it was a house

(04:37):
without foundation. Juicy.
So foundation is important, but it is not the only.
You can't have the foundation and call it a building.
The other parts of the building must come together.
Then you can say this is the building, but the first thing
that was done was that the foundation was laid.
So when God created man, man is not better than woman.

(04:58):
Man is not superior to woman. Man is not to dominate woman.
Man came first because of the assignments that God has for
him, because in God's idea and in God's plan, building society
or building families, you know, people have said that family is
the basic unit for society, but man is the basic unit for a

(05:22):
family. That's why he showed up first
and that's why when things went wrong, God didn't blast the
woman the first thing he came. He says, Adam, where are you?
Because of the responsibility that God has given to man.
It means you as a man listening to me.
There is there is an assignment.There is there is something that

(05:45):
you need to understand else you,you live like a fool.
And if you're going to follow society's definition of who a
man is, you enter a lot of errorbecause society has defined men
as those who go to work and havea six to, you know, an 8 to 9,
eight to five job. So if you don't do that, you are

(06:06):
not a man. Society has defined men as
people with muscles. So if you're if you don't have
muscles, you are not a man. But that's not it.
The creation does not determine what its purpose is.
The creator determines what creations purposes.
So for us to understand who we are as men, we must consult

(06:27):
God's weight. God's word is what shows us
clearly God's original intentionfor creating us.
Else it will shock you. And I hope you're looking for
relevance in wrong places. You are looking for recognition
in wrong places. You are looking for endorsement
in wrong places. You are doing things because you
want to feel like you are a man.So if you, you, you know, people

(06:50):
talk and say, ah, you've not dated before, you've not had sex
before, you are not a man. But your manhood is not
determined by how many people you've laid with.
Your manhood is defined by what God Sweat says you are.

(07:13):
I don't know if you understand what I'm saying.
So the ego that makes you feel you don't need anybody, you can
handle it on your own is the reason what your life is, the
way it is. And I will go through something
and say it's not everything we talk about.
My little go through something and it's eating up.
It's eating her up so she'll come and talk about it.

(07:35):
I cancel more ladies than guys. When it comes to the ladies I
don't have to use prophetic sensing to pick what is wrong
with them. Are you do talk but the guys you
can be prophesying or say it's not true, I'm fine.
Ego. They don't want to feel
vulnerable. So in a generation if a man
cries they say you are not a man.

(07:55):
Then why did God give us cherry glance as men?
He shouldn't have put it there in the 1st place because we will
never use it as men. So you're crying doesn't mean
you are not a man. Society has defined it wrongly.
And and that's why that's why things are the way they are.
I can see people pride. You are struggling, but you will

(08:16):
open up because you don't want to feel vulnerable.
And that actually insulting God,that is a fool to give you a
leader. Yeah.
Yeah. Some of it is the day you die,
we'll see some text messages on your phone.
That was that. Oh, so all along you were
dealing with this. Yeah, how many times do you hear
great women pass and define things on their phones you don't

(08:38):
hear. But when great men die, you hear
that on their phone there was a secret this somewhere they were
chatting with this way they wentinto polygamy.
They went when man dies like youdiscover plenty things.
Thank God your father is a Christian man and kind of day he
falls out like this team, you will see other siblings.
I'm your father's child. You will see so many things and
it's because of the ego that is rooted deeply in the heart of

(09:01):
man. So you feel like you don't need
help. Nobody can tell me what to do.
And that's why sometimes even inan argument with your father,
your father knows he's wrong, but he will not accept it.
It's because of ego. And yes, you even punish you on
top. That's when I'm talking.
I'm talking. I will show you that I give
birth to you, but he's wrong. And some of us because you, I

(09:25):
mean not some of us, some of you, because you grew up in such
an environment, you are likely to become because that's the
best template or model of a father that you have seen.
Your father has never cried for you to see before.
Your father beats your mother. So in your mind, when the woman
is not submitting, she must be beating that you are a

(09:47):
disciplinarian. So we must allow the word of God
to define. We must allow the word of God to
define. If we don't allow God's word to
define, we'll be in trouble. I'm, I'm telling you, you'll be
in trouble. You'll be in serious trouble

(10:09):
because you don't even understand why God created a
man. Or let me say the meal, because
Bible says that God created man,male and female created he them.
So man was the spirit that God made.
The spirit is called man. That's often times in the Bible
you even see women referred to as man.
What Peter was talking says let it be the in the M and not let

(10:32):
it not be the outer adorning of the paint, plating of the hair,
the wearing of jewelry, but let it be the hidden man of the
heart. But he was talking to women.
Why did he say the hidden woman of the heart?
Look at it. So let it be the hidden man of
that. So man is the spirit, but the
container that contains is either male or female.

(10:55):
That's all we get to heaven one day the ages are so we'll go to
heaven. We'll be marrying, we'll be
giving its marriages that will be like the angels who will not
have gender when we get to heaven.
So if you have a you see, that'swhy anything that will not I
don't know why Papa Josh is laughing.
Anything that will not transcendtime into eternity is not

(11:15):
something you should worry yourself too much about because
in eternity to have no value. And sadly people change the
agenda. So the deal God is distributing,
I don't know how it will be likethe angels will be so confused.

(11:37):
Amen. So I need you to understand this
because it's very important. Understand that your life is not
an experiment. A lot of you live like you're
experimenting. Sometimes the way people even
come to church tells me that this guy, he doesn't have any
hope in this life. You don't know what you're
about. It's so clear from the things

(11:58):
you put on your WhatsApp status,your Instagram, I can tell like
so clearly that you have. There's nothing that is on your
mind that you want to live a life of purpose.
Meanwhile you are the one God created face.
And you will find a lot of people want to have girlfriends
when they don't even understand the primary reason why they

(12:19):
exist. You don't know why you exist,
You don't know why God brought you here, You don't know why you
were a guy, you don't know why you have what you have and you
want a woman. You see, when purpose is not
assumed, abuse is inevitable. Because we don't know why you
are here. So a lot of you think that, oh,

(12:41):
when you marry and you give birth, that's what shows that
you are, you know, a successful man.
You are not a successful man by giving birth.
Else great men in history were not successful.
Like James McKeon. He never had biological
children. And he's the founder of the
Church of Pentecost, but he never had biological children,
according to history. Amen.

(13:09):
So that's the truth and I'll show you where the problem comes
from. The problem is that usually we
put the cats before the horse. That's that's where everything
starts from. That's where everything starts

(13:32):
from. And because of ego, you don't
worry. Let's go to Genesis chapter one,
verse 26. Genesis 1 And God said, let us
make man in our own image after our likeness, and let him have

(13:55):
dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over the and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing. Next verse.
Next verse. So God created man in his own
image in the image of God created he him is he male and
female created he them verse 28 and God bless them and God said

(14:20):
unto them, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the
earth. When I read this, it looks like
the first instruction God gave man was have sex be fruitful.
He blessed them for fruitfulness.
But let's also debunk it. He didn't say have sex, So he

(14:40):
says be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, you
know, and subdue it and have dominion.
So the dominion, you see, usually people beat their wives.
The dominion was not over the woman.
The dominion was over the earth,not the woman.
So the next time you see a man beating a woman, he's expressing

(15:01):
his dominion at the wrong place.You see men talk to their wife
and I'm the head of the house. That's not where God intended
for your dominion to be expressed primarily is that
exact it over the earth, over the fish of the silver, the fowl
of the earth and everything thatlive every living thing that

(15:22):
moved upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have
given you every hair bearing seat which is upon the face of
the all the earth and every treein the which is the fruit of a
tree yielding seat to you. It shall be for meat.
Meat means food next one and to every bit of the earth.
Now God has created man. But let's go to chapter 2.

(15:44):
In chapter 2, we'll see something very, very important.
Let's start from verse 5. OK, verse 6.
And there was A and there went up a mist from the earth, and
watered the whole face of the ground.

(16:08):
And God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed
into his nostrils. Please pay attention.
And breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
And man became a living soul. Then what happened in verse 8?
And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden.

(16:28):
So the garden was not Eden. Can you see it?
God planted a garden in the eastof Eden and then He put man whom
he had from. Now this is very interesting.
Everything that God created he spoke.

(16:49):
Everything, the fishes he spoke,the beds he spoke, the the
cattle he spoke, everything. The waters, the lights, the
luminary bodies, He spoke, Yet when it got to the creation of
man, God was not speaking. God dated his, His hands, He
came down. Bible says that He formed man

(17:12):
from the dust of the earth, and after he had formed man, He
breathed into man, and man became.
Now I know we've said this so many times, but let's emphasize
it again. When man opens his eyes, the
first thing man sees is the faceof God.

(17:32):
And very interestingly, everywhere God created a thing
that was the habitat for its sustenance.
That's when you remove the fish from the sea, it will die
because God didn't create the fish outside the sea and put it
in the sea. He Bible said that and he spoke
to the waters produce fish and that's how fish entered into the
seas. And now we are seeing that the

(17:52):
way God created man was that Godformed and breathed.
So the habitat of man is God's presence.
Listen to me if you don't understand that you were made to
function in God's presence, you chase every other thing in this
world and you will still not find satisfaction because we're

(18:14):
in the wrong habitats. It's like the foul saying that I
want to live in water. You were not created in water,
so you can't live there. So if you don't understand, in
fact, the, the, the word for manis anthropode.
It means the man that looks up, the one that looks up.
We're created to look up. We're created to live a God

(18:37):
dependent life. We're not created to function on
our own. We're created to because we're
created in his image. That means that we were.
So we have, we have been made tobe a direct replica of who God
is, how God operates, how God functions.
It's very important. And he's saying that when he

(18:58):
made man, man became a living soul.
So man came alive to God. That's why you see.
Check it. Anybody who tries to stay away
from God, tries to do things without God.
They struggle. Have you ever seen someone dying
before? Usually a lot of dying people

(19:20):
have a lot of regrets and mostlymostly speak to any dying man is
that they didn't take God seriously as they should.
And you see, because of the pressure for man to become
something by the definitions of society, we chase every other

(19:41):
thing thinking that in our latter years then we can do God.
Look at your friends. Do you think the way you think
about God? Your your age means think about
God the same way. They don't.
They may seem to be prospering. That's the that's the problem
opposite. But my friends don't pray as
much as I do, but they have lookat the results.

(20:02):
He has built a house, He has built this.
He has two cars. But you don't know that he's
unhappy. He doesn't show you that part.
God's word will never lie. Your true sustenance is in His
presence. So you must master God's
presence and you know the very interesting thing verse 8 says
that God when he created man, pick man, put him in a place

(20:22):
called delight. You know what God was trying to
tell all through your life whereI intend you to live is in my
presence. So we tell you as a guy read
Bible, do this. It's so interesting that I don't
know if I'll be able to touch it, but let me let me just say
in case I don't get opportunity to when you read the Bible, the

(20:46):
success of the family or the house is not dependent on the
woman is dependent on the man. God holds the man responsible.
I told you that's when Adam felland God showed up.
God says where is Adam? Adam is the one I put in charge.
Adam is the one I gave the instructions to.
Adam is the one I brought here. So he should have understood

(21:07):
this assignment and that's the Bible says that blessed is the
man you know in someone want to can show it to us someone to
this one. Look at this.
I pray that it blesses you so I want to this one.
Oh come on, praise thee, the Lord blessed is the man that
share the Lord and delights greatly in his commandments.

(21:28):
Verse 2 his seed Now the white seed.
Can you change the version for us.
The white seed is not the money you give to your pastor.
The word CDA is, is not, he sayshis descendants.
So your descendants are prospering because you as the
man you have decided to fear Godand to love his word because

(21:50):
their descendants were prosperous and influential.
So sometimes children are not influential in society because
their father didn't play a good role.
That's why it's sad. You see young people, they don't
marry and they are giving birth.You don't know what you are
doing to yourself. You've not learned to love God.

(22:13):
You've not learned to spend yourtime, you know, fellowship with
God, understanding God, growing in God.
Every other thing will be a problem.
Look what the Bible is saying sothat the man that fears God go
back to King James says his seeds shall be great in the
earth. Then he says that the generation
of the upright shall be blessed because verse one says the man

(22:36):
has decided to fear God. It starts with you.
The kind of whom you want to have in a few years from now is
dependent on the quality of yourspirit.
So that's why I advise people that stop chasing money, stop
chasing fame, stop chasing a good job.
Chase Jude. Jude tells us that John, sorry,

(22:58):
he says that the quality or the extent of your prosperity is how
your soul is prospering. It means a week and a soul that
is not experiencing the life of God, a soul that is not
experiencing the transformation of God.
Forget about prosperity because prosperity is not first what you
have. Prosperity is not what you have.

(23:20):
When Joseph was in prison, the Bible called him a prosperous
man. He didn't have two cars.
He didn't have a spouse. So we cannot define prosperity
primarily based on the things wesee around us.
The description for prosperity is who you have God with you is
prosperity. You may not have the car, you
may not have the house, but thatyou have God.

(23:41):
Your soul has started experiencing prosperity, which
is soon to be materialized. You need to understand it.
Can we go back to someone? Let me show them they don't
believe so let me keep reading ego.
They're even saying I'm lying. Look at it.
Bible says that when the man fears God, wealth enriches,

(24:05):
shall be in his house and his righteousness shall endure
forever. Verse 4 I want you to see
something. Verse 5 a good man showed favor
and landed and he will guide hisaffairs with discussion.
Verse 6 go to I think Psalm 136.Psalm 136.
He says blessed is the man that feared the Lord.

(24:27):
His children shall be like only plants.
I want you to see that verse also next verse.
Can you look for it for me please?
Are you being blessed? Oh, you are angry over the way I
live. When I see you I'm like oh God,

(24:48):
give this person wisdom. It's very true.
Someone 28 go to verse one. Now watch this.
Blessed is everyone that prayed the Lord that worketh in his
ways. Blessed is who.
Come on, you are men. Blessed is who that that feared
the Lord that walketh in his ways.

(25:08):
Verse 2. And look at what he says in
verse 2. For thou shalt eat the labor of
thy hands. Happy shalt thou be, and it
shall be well with the verse 3. Thy wife.
Please follow me closely. Thy wife shall be as fruitful as
a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house.
Thy children like olive, olive plants round about thy table.

(25:30):
Verse 4 Behold that thus shall the man be blessed.
That's feather. King James throws you away.
Go to passion says yes, this is God's generous reward for those,
but King James shows us that forthe man.

(25:51):
So verse 4 is telling us that everything he has described
previously, it's the blessing orit is God's generosity for the
man that fears God. He says his wife shall be
fruitful. When you see a man whose wife is
not fruitful, the problem is notthe woman, the problem is the
man. The man is the problem because

(26:11):
he doesn't fear God. You see a woman after five years
of marriage, there's no change. There's she has not become
better than he met her. The man is the problem.
The man is the problem. Go back when you go up what's
best three. You don't believe what that
because your wife will be your wife will bless your heart and

(26:34):
your home. Your children will bring you joy
as they gather around the table.King James says that your wife
will be fruitful, says his wife shall be fruitful.
King James and your children like olive plants.
Now the word fruitful vine meansthat your everything your wife
does will produce good results because you're the man you've
decided to fear God. Then it says your children will

(26:56):
be like olive plants. It's from the olive plant to get
anointing, the anointing oil. It means a man that fears God,
his children will be acquainted.Your children will be two years
old and the kind of things they know, the kind of things they
say, the kind of things they do it to be so obvious that God's
hand is resting on them. But there's four tells us, it

(27:16):
says these blessings belongs to the man that fears God.
That's it's not the woman, the man.
So every time God is addressing,he addresses the manfest.
So it is not a light thing to bea man.
Even society is not making it easy because there are more men

(27:36):
that do sakawa than women. How many times do you hear women
in Sakawa, all the news of wicked people who are abducting
children? Do you see women?
It is the man because society isputting a certain pressure on
you to be what God has not defined you as.
And I would say that it is the blessing of the Lord that makes
rich. So when you pursue the blessing

(27:59):
of God as a man, trust me, everything your life will fall
in please. So when God created man, says
Adam, the way you function and function according to how I made
you stay in my presence, God didnot intend that Adam will live
hidden. That was not the intention of

(28:21):
God. God wanted Adam to carry hidden
to the world so that in God's original intention, man has so
lived in his presence everywhere.
Man because God told him to dominate the earth.
It means everywhere man goes, man becomes the mobile career of
God's presence. So when you understand this that

(28:41):
the primary thing that you're supposed to do is to fellowship
with God, be in his presence, love God, treasure his word.
Then when now you get a job, youare employed because you've
cultivated God's presence. You can bring God's presence to
your workplace. Your because you are where you
are working there should not be lost in Genesis 39 Bible says

(29:02):
that just for the prosperous manand his master could tell, but
God blessed him because of Joseph.
A lot of you, you are even the means by which loss comes to the
company. Every money that is lost is
because of your negligence. So the first thing God says,

(29:25):
Adam, go back to Genesis chapter2, sustain my presence, function
in my presence, love my presence.
You know, I know that's what usually when we call for boys,
boys meeting you want to hear things that those things when
you go to the worldly seminars, you hear it in worldly seminars
for men. You won't hear pursuing God's
presence. They'll give you 10 reasons why
you must be a strong man, how tobuild a sexual life.

(29:48):
But you see, I'll tell you something when I'm ending the
reason why do you know that moreguys are played with sexual sons
than ladies? Do you know that?
So that was really statistics 94.3% of people who struggle
with sexual sense. I mean, and you know why?

(30:10):
I'll touch it when I'm ending. Satan gives you sex as an
ultimate pleasure for God. That's the only time you're
struggling with sexual sense. You don't enjoy God in
fellowship, OK, They don't like what I'm saying.
So the way you are quiet is it is hot.

(30:34):
So if if we don't learn our roles as defined by God as men,
society is in trouble because God didn't bring the woman face.
God created us first. It means we are the foundation
blocks on which society will be built.
So we really, really need to understand why we are here, why
God made us. So the struggle in society, all

(30:57):
the things that are going wrong around you in your neighborhood
is because men have not taken their place.
It's because men have not taken their place.
And the first thing you need to understand is that God created
you to enjoy him now. It's so interesting.
Thank you. Because God created you to enjoy

(31:18):
him. After God created man, woman
didn't come immediately because God was trying to teach man that
your primary enjoyment should beme.
That's why people run into marriage and they still feel
empty. People have good jobs and they
still feel empty because they'venot learned that your number one

(31:43):
assignment is God's presence. You must.
You must enjoy God's presence. You must live in God's presence.
But that's the case where a lot of you don't even do quiet time.
Let me be more practical. It's like I'm preaching to you
don't do quiet time. You don't do quiet time.
There's no, I was telling TBC that you see, a lot of you do

(32:05):
devotion and you don't do Bible reading, forgetting that in
devotion you are feeding, in Bible reading you are bathing.
So if you read Bible but you don't do devotion, it's like
bathing without eating. And if you do divorcing without
reading Bible, it's like eating without bathing.
So the two go hand in hand. And it will shock you that a lot

(32:29):
of boys, a lot of young men don't do quiet time.
You don't do quiet time. A lot of you have read more
books on success more than you've read Bible because you
must be a successful man. But you don't realize that the
primary means by which you will succeed.
Bible says in someone says blessed is the man that walk not
to the council of the godliness.His delight is in the law of the

(32:52):
Lord and in this law he meditates day and night and he
shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bests
its fruit in its season, whose leaves shall not wither and
whatever he does it shall prosper.
I know it's a generic weight as man, but look at it in verse 1.
He says blessed is the man, Blessed is the man to ensure you

(33:17):
that the way prosperity comes isby loving God's Word, your
emotion. We have a lot of emotional
voice. Your emotions are not properly
harnessed because you have left God's Word and you are reading
other materials. I don't have a problem.
You are reading other things. I really don't have a problem

(33:37):
when you crash your lenses. But the truth of the matter is
that the reason why God's Word must be foundational is because
everything stems from His Word. Let me say it again.
I don't know why I threw that bullet.
You don't do quiet time. You can cut an Aristotle said

(33:59):
this and Polycarp said this and yeah, Santosh said this.
They said yeah, Santosh said that.
What? You said it on Saturday or
battle to our neck, a tribal, you know all those things that
you are bereft. I'm sorry for what you are
hearing is not what you thought you were coming to hear, but

(34:20):
that's what God told me to come and tell you that you must
deepen your love for God, your love for God.
When you deepen it, it is the cure for anxiety.
It is the cure for for worry. It is that it is the cure for
all kinds of things because the truth is that that's why you
see, for example, even if a man has all girls as children and

(34:42):
one boy in in our culture, I don't say the guy is the first
born because he's the man's first son.
So the guy can take decisions onbehalf of the ladies.

(35:03):
And that's why if I'm not carefully, you do many things,
many things. Look at something.
Look at something was a serious guy called of God anointed
everything. See how his life ended When you
read the Bible, you can track men whose life didn't end the
way they wanted it to end. You can check it clearly and see

(35:23):
it. Something's number one problem,
women. It's so serious that the the
gorge out his eyes. You know what it means.
A man giving too much to sex, you lose your sense of vision.
Doesn't look. Let's be unaware.
Acts of friends who like having sex, they don't know what

(35:43):
they're about. In this life, there is just
about women and parties. There's a void only God's
presence can feel. Dear gentleman, hear me.
Your number one responsibility in this life is to plunge God's
word deep into your heart. Stop chasing money.

(36:07):
Stop chasing fame. Are those things not important?
Are you saying those things are important?
But I'm saying that you must understand that you were
positioned on earth according toGod's design, and the 1st place
God wants you to function is in His presence.
So if you don't understand God'spresence, I'm sorry, you cannot

(36:33):
even be trained by God. God can train you as that is
what an answer is. Presence doesn't.
God doesn't use your social studies to train you because it
is His what His What is the means.
So when a man is not giving himself to God's weight, he has
set himself up for failure automatically.

(36:54):
Amen. Genesis 215 and the Lord took
man and put him in into the Garden of Eden to dress it and
to keep it. So after man has expressed God's

(37:15):
presence. No, I'm just bringing you some
thoughts and our peace everything wonderfully at the
end. Now God is giving man an
assignment and he's saying God put man in the garden to dress
it and to give the word dress. It is the word cultivate.
So man is supposed to be a cultivator.

(37:36):
For example, the word husband comes from the word husbandry.
What is the meaning of the word husbandry?
Husbandry is like a garden, juicy.
What it means is that God created you in such a way that

(37:58):
whatever he brings to you and gives to you must be nourished
and sustained. But we also know that when
Israel wanted to rebel against God and rebel against God's
leadership, God said something to Moses.
So let all the elders of the tribes bring their rod, and when

(38:23):
they brought their rod, they putit in the presence of God, and a
dead rod, Aaron's rod, buried it.
So life was injected into a deadrod in God's presence, and God
is telling man that you must be a cultivator.

(38:45):
That's why the first thing God did was to put man in the garden
of His presence, so that man, after he has soaked in God's
presence, can cultivate whateverGod brings to him.
I like the way Dr. Mouse moroses.
So whatever you give to a woman,she'll multiply it.

(39:06):
You give a woman a sperm, she'llgive you a baby.
You give a woman groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give a woman foolishness,know that your house is in for
trouble. Just sit down.
Don't worry. Sit down.
Analyze all your problem. You realize that it was.

(39:28):
It is usually a father problem. That's why people who are raised
by only the Amadeus, there's a way they behave.
I don't want to give examples. I'm not very raised by only
Amadeus. Raise your hand at a point.

(39:49):
There's a way they behave. Because in God's wisdom, the man
must be present. Do you know something's problem?
OK, How many of you are raised by only your mother's reason?
Don't be afraid, OK? How many of you have been very
promiscuous? It's a father problem.

(40:11):
That was something's problem. Samsung father was not really
involved in his upbringing. When Czech scriptures, the
people who have promiscuous sex foolishness, it was a father
problem. Either the father was there, he
was not doing his work as a father or he was not there at
all. And you see, because they have
not had a perfect picture of what a father is supposed to be

(40:34):
like, they do what they feel makes them feel like they are
men. That's what the point, no matter
how strict your mother is, if there's no father, the boy
becomes rebellious because there's no father.
He feels like he's the man in the house.

(40:55):
So you say, But I also say it's because there's no man in the
house keeping him in check. And our culture is bad.
The man thinks he's just there to procreate and last the

(41:18):
children when they go wrong, butthey are not emotionally
involved in their lives. A lot of you there are things
you've gone through your father as you know, there are things
you are doing your father. As you know, you have a child
somewhere, but your father doesn't know that you have a
child somewhere. No matter how powerful and

(41:41):
blessed a mother is, she can never be a father.
We must get it straight. We must get it straight.
No matter your mother is powerful, she's hard working.
You know she has three jobs taking is good, but she can
never be a father, never, never.And it's a it's a it's a it's
prestigious in our generation. I'm a baby Mama, No father.

(42:05):
I'm good. I'm there's a there's a crack in
the child's upbringing. It's only so up as the child
begins to grow up rebellious. It's because there's no father.
And that's why we are all here today.
We must become better and good fathers one day and it starts by
understanding that God wants youto treasure his presence and his

(42:29):
word about every other thing. I'm sorry, this is not what you
wanted to hear about. That is the truth of the you
thought I was come to tell you that you must have a bank
account, you must wear tie and learn how to wear.
So those things are not important because a man who
loves God's presence and loves God's word will be taught from
the word. When you dress anyhow, because
we're conscious of God's presence, you will feel it that
no, I've got to change how I've dressed.

(42:55):
You're a cultivator. You must cultivate the people
and the children. God gave Adam this instruction
before he showed up. So the marriage or the
girlfriend doesn't make you a man.
If you can't understand that Godcreated me to enjoy his

(43:17):
presence, then he gave me a responsibility to to dress and
to cultivate what He has createdbefore a woman shows up a woman
showing up. We've not understood this is a
compounding of your problems because the word God used for
made woman is not the same way to use for made man.

(43:37):
He says he made a woman that wassays he built the Greek one is
he built like like a structure he took his time to build.
That's why when Adam saw if he said, whoa, man, woman, so woman
actually means wow, what a man, because God built God took his

(44:03):
time and God says, look man, before you can handle this
complex creature that I've created, you must first drench
yourself in me. And that's why let me tell you
the truth. Ephesians chapter 5 tells us it
says husbands love your wives asChrist.
It means the proportion of love you would this out to your wife
one day is how much love Christ has loved you so not

(44:25):
understanding how Christ loves you.
You can never give what you havenot experienced.
That's a lot of people are bad fathers because they never had
fathers and they never submittedthemselves to the fathers in the
Lord God gave them to rectify that foundational problem.
My father was not there for but God has given you a pasta his

(44:48):
pride and foolish and smelling ego.
I don't need anybody. I don't need I don't need
anybody. I can do it on my own.
You don't you are you don't God.God is not a fool.
God is wise. So if you don't understand how

(45:08):
to receive God's love, how to stay in his presence, you don't
know how to do retreat as a single man.
That's why you can't say I've seen a lady.
I said stop that rubbish becauseas a single man you have never
retreated in your life. Never.
You've never retreated on your own.
You can't play wanna and you want to marry.

(45:29):
That's what, forgive me, but it's boiling because when some
of the things I handled as a pasta, I realized that you
people are not listening to whatI'm saying.
That's why I put what I put on my status today because people
keep coming and this is not working and this is not what I'm
like. Ah, this thing that you are
telling me, I thought it in the last meeting, but you were not

(45:51):
there and in the day of trouble you want me to conjure the you
go back to the message. So coming to church, listening
to messages, you know, of coursethere's an equal general reasons
why they can't show up, but theywill never go and listen to what
was taught right now. You'll not see it was 0 in a few
years. You realize that the way God

(46:13):
deals with us is that any ammunition we need for battle 10
years to come is what I'm telling you today.
You see, it will be clear. Bible says that there will be a
difference between those who love God and those who don't
love him. So when we look at the way your
marriage is going, we'll be ableto tell that everything that was

(46:33):
stopped, you didn't take it seriously.
You should be grateful that we are hearing these things at this
season of our lives. You know what are you 16?
Imagine a 16 year old boy understanding that my primary
assignment is to love God's presence and to love God's way.

(46:54):
What? You were 16?
What are you doing at age 16? You are glad for people, but you
are privileged to hear it that my number one reason for
existence is to love God and love His presence because
everything God wants me to do and portray and display an

(47:16):
exhibit as a man is what Christ came to do.
So when you see two people walking down the aisle that they
are married, what they are supposed to express is how
Christ has loved this church andthe greater responsibility is on
the man. That's even in Ephesians chapter
5. He did not first address the
woman. He said you dear husband, you
must love your wife the way you properly love her.

(47:36):
Her response will be submission.So when you see a woman who is
not submitting, chances are thatit is a man who is not loving
like Christ loved. That's the solution.
I can't wait to teach the girls tomorrow.
You are not receiving my message.

(48:01):
So you see people, they are working.
I have money, I have this. You are not building principles
as a man, As a young man you have no values.
And what I'm talking about values, I'm not talking about
worldly values, values from God's Word.
You have no, you have no value of that.
Your values like as a young man,you love to pray, you love to
read God's Word, you do quiet time, you spend time retreating.

(48:24):
You have the culture of giving. How will you raise your
children? Sometimes people do things
around and ask them how will youraise your children like me?
So some some people can do something like so the way what
you are doing, How will you raise your child?
How, because it's like at this age, because we have still not

(48:45):
really imbibed God's word, you behave like you.
You don't see the urgency of life.
That's why I told you at the beginning that you're not here
to use your life to run an experiment.
There are so many people who have read their lives and the
prove it was that don't also tryto experiment with life.
They don't get anywhere. And the sad part is that some of
the things they so I'll recover.You will not recover unless God

(49:08):
comes through. If some of you, you'll be taking
two years, so we'll be taking three years, so we'll be taking
four years. What Christian godly values have
you anchored yourself in that? When you hit 30, you know that
it's a season of amplification of all the virtues of God.

(49:28):
There's nothing like that. You are still watching
pornography and you are pampering that demonic attitude.
You don't know what you are doing to yourself.
You will marry or you will not enjoy your marriage.
All our problems has made. I'll summarize it at the end for

(49:49):
you and I'll show you how God's presence is the cure to all
those things. You don't like God's presence
the last time on your own, without a keyboard, without
your, just your room, just worshiping and thanking God.
This what the world is not telling us because they don't
know it and you have a lot of Ebola raise your mentor.

(50:14):
This is interesting. Forgive me Ebola, but black
sheriff, the Kardashians, peoplewho have no value of that like
something when I see people theypost sometime like so everything
that God has said in his word isnot enough.
God has given. We have God bless us.
God has blessed. We have mentors we can look up

(50:36):
to. There's Doctor George, there's
Prophet Adam, there's prophet and we've seen all these people
how God is working and you, you don't like that one.
You are wiser. Yeah, pronounce your is your is
your example and you are a Cabanesa is a role model and you

(50:58):
are wondering why you have been you are 20 years old, 25, yet
things are not working. It's because you have left the
place of God's presence. That's what the problem is.
Every manufacturer when he makesa product, adds a manual to it
to tell us how the product is supposed to work.

(51:19):
But we are people who God says that this how can we take the
manual and we throw it away and we expect that without a manual
who will live a meaningful life.And God is saying this thing
will not work. It won't work.
The economics is struggling because you don't like God's
presence. Oh, as a man, you have to work

(51:47):
hard. I don't dispute the fact that
you have to work hard, but work was not a primary thing.
God gave man, of course, God giving work in Genesis chapter
2, but it was not a primary thing when first things are not
put first. Second things to be suppressed.
You must understand, you must understand that as a man.

(52:08):
We saw Doctor Kuku shared it with us that Solomon's father
told him that the way to prove that to a man is by obeying
God's instructions, not by the many women that you have by
obeying God's. So we can say Solomon is not a
man. I don't, I don't have a problem
that you are rich. I don't have a problem.

(52:30):
That's why the way God you see the kind of things God wants to
use you for. You must be rich, but that is
not the primary thing. Don't run experiments with your
life already. You see how old you are now and
the experiment should be running.
You've still not got your title value and you are still point
more asset and your base is finished and you are hot, but

(52:57):
you still said no, it's my sweat.
You know, I read it in a book that they said no, no, that's
not that's not that's not it. God is saying that.
Look, my word, my word, my word.I've given you my word as the
primary source. What you need is my word.
You say no, you don't like God'sword.
You don't like God's presence and you are.
You see that's why when you go to places in a lot of churches.

(53:23):
I may be mistaken, but from my observations looks like most of
the women are prosperous and youare likely to find more women in
church than men. Do you know why?
That's foolishness and ego will not let him come and listen to
God's weight. It's so serious that you know

(53:44):
men were not the primary sponsors of Jesus ministry.
It was women. It was women.
It was women. I think it's a Luke 8.

(54:05):
Luke 8 read. Let's read it.
Luke 8. They don't believe that women
were the primary supporters of Jesus ministry.
Luke 8, Passion verse 2. Look at it.
I'll go back to verse one. I think passion did it in a nice
way. Soon after, Jesus began a
ministry tour throughout the country he's in.

(54:27):
It says, oh, now we are doing prophetic invasions, We shall
start from Kapana woman, go to Galilee.
So he began A prophetic ministrytour, visiting cities and
villages to announce the wonderful news of God's Kingdom.
His 12 disciples travelled with him and also a number of women
who had been healed of many illnesses and his ministry and

(54:47):
suffered from demonic power. Just cast out 70 months from one
woman. Her name was Mary Magdalene for
she was from the village of Magdala.
Among the seven among the women were Susanna and Joanna, the
wife of Chooser who managed in Heroes House many other women.
Not not not women who many otherwomen who supported Jesus

(55:10):
ministry from their own personalfinances.
We don't hear the men. We hear the women, many other
women, many other women. Where were the men?
They were just come and stand there and white girls and say
what is preaching is not good. You're entering tomb.
That's all they were doing. But the women saw the need that

(55:32):
the message must go. The message must go and the 21st
century man must be like this and the 21st.
Stop that rubbish. Stop that.

(55:53):
God's word is what is relevant for all seasons and all times.
It is God's word. So your definition must come
from God's word, not what the societal.
Then the 1st century man must have a car.
We don't have cars. Then we are.
We are not. We are not men.
That's why the Bible says that aman's life does not consist of
the abundance of things that he has.

(56:14):
What what makes and gives your life a meaning is who you have
is who you have, not what you have who you have.
And if you are able to pick thisfrom this time of your life, it
will shock you what your life become.
To shock you go sustain my presence and cultivate,
cultivate. But you, you can't even

(56:36):
cultivate your own life. You want to.
How will you cultivate somebody's daughter That is so
it saddens me that we think thatwomen is what to give us our
importance. You is what God wanted to create
Eve. He didn't go to the ground.

(56:58):
It means when God created Adam, his work was done.
Any other thing God needed to do, he had to come to Adam.
So you sitting here, there's load on your head.
We are not just men because we have penises and to have
children, that's not the primarything

(57:29):
as well. Yeah, it's OK.
Look at Genesis to exist and go to man and put him in the Garden
of Eden. To do what?
So your God is giving man an instruction.
So it means that God made man tobe a leader.

(57:51):
Look at verse 16. And the Lord commanded the man.
He didn't command the woman has not showed up.
So God is giving man the instructions for life.
He's commanding the man that this is what you're supposed to
do. And you know that the reason why
they were driven out of the garden was because Adam didn't

(58:11):
teach Eve what got him the things God told Adam.
There's no way we are told that Adam taught Eve.
Do you know why God holds the woman responsible for the
upbringing of the children? We read it in Prudential 31.
You see there that it's the it'sbecause of the virtuous woman.

(58:32):
The children are well brought upis because God teaches the man,
then the man teaches the woman, then the woman transfers the
teaching man God from God to their children.
So usually when the children arenot, you know, proper upbringing
is because the man has not learned well from God.

(58:52):
That's I'm saying that everything you are learning now
is to build godly virtues in your dating period and in the
first years of your marriage, you are transferring the things
you have learned from God to your wife.
So the dating time is not the time to have sex.
The dating time is to teach the woman who raised your children

(59:17):
because from like age 0 to like 5 or 6, the mother spends more
time with their children than the man.
So what are you? What values are you building
that you said? And look, in my house we pray.
In my house we fast. It's wrong when the woman is the
one calling for devotion. She's not the leader of the

(59:38):
House. You don't know how to do
devotion. Oh, don't worry, my wife will
teach us is a lie. And tomorrow I'll tell the
woman. I told the ladies.
A guy who doesn't have the qualities I'm showing you this

(59:59):
evening. They are.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And we can tell we what we see.
We can tell what we see. You see spiritual activities.
It's like pregnancy. It takes time.
But why you have hit a certain number of months it will start
showing. You can't hide it.
So if a girl who doesn't like prayer, we will know, right?

(01:00:19):
I can close my eyes and walk through all those who don't like
prayer. The way you are receiving the
message shows me that you don't like prayer.
You don't like prayer. In a whole year, we will sum up
your prayer hours. We will not get up to five
hours. We will get 20 minutes, 20
minutes there. There is a cure that must happen

(01:00:40):
to your spirit today, that you will love God's presence.
You will love God's presence. That's your primary need as a
man. And you love God's presence the
way you have cultivated God's presence.
Think about this. Adam had so walked with God, so
walked with God. He knew how to name all the
animals. Do you realize that God named

(01:01:03):
Adam? God didn't name Eve.
There's no way that says and Godcalled the woman Eve.
It was Adam who named Eve because he had worked with God
and he called mother of all living.
When I was thinking about something interesting came to

(01:01:23):
mind. That's why in marriage the woman
takes them as the man's name. So you are not allowed to name
because what you name you claim if I want.
Bible says that God brought all the animals to Adam to see
what's name you call it. The word name also means
possess. You possess what you need.
You are going around calling people's daughters darling,

(01:01:46):
sweethearts, baby and you have not cultivated presence.
You know, it is the guys who don't cultivate presence,
thinker. It is the guy who don't
cultivate presence and goes withwho can look at a lady they're

(01:02:09):
not married to and sleep with them.
Press is a lower level press. You might be a signal is not
correct. Let me stop but sex when they do
say don't tell anybody you don'tunderstand God's presence.
We understand the operations of God's presence.

(01:02:29):
There's some fear that comes on you as a man, you can't do
things. God has no sanction.
It is foolishness and low emotional intelligence to tell a
lady in church that I like you, but I'm going to pray about it.
And when God gives me the go ahead, I'll come and tell you.
You're not very big fool. It is our spiritual guys who

(01:03:04):
lead ladies on our spiritual guys, our spiritual you don't
know God that five women are youare talking to five people.
So you are happy. You're not spiritual.
Your sample size is 10. You are talking to 10 sisters in

(01:03:29):
the church. It's it's the, it's the lack of
God's presence. You don't have God's presence
because if you have God's presence, you know that this
thing is not supposed to be done. 10.
You're talking to 10 girls. God's presence is the solution.

(01:03:57):
It doesn't look like it is the solution to our problems, but
that's it. That's it.
God said look, give them the instructions says everything
that is this garden you can eat.It means that as single men we
must, we must know God. We must know the will of God.

(01:04:19):
You should be able to know the will of God as a single man
before you get you start dating.You should be able to know how
to find God's will. You learn it in marriage.
Singleness is not a case. It is not a case.
Single is not a case so we thinkthat I don't understand my
family, all my brothers are single.

(01:04:42):
It's not the case. It is it is an opportunity for
you to discover God. Some of you must leave it to
them going in that relationship.So you don't even have any
business come to tell me that I think I've seen somebody you

(01:05:02):
have no business coming to tell me that want to me no quiet
time. I know that's something I'll
look out for. Is it is it amazing because man

(01:05:31):
man has been created to be a leader.
God also created man to be a provider.
The latter web provider means tosee ahead, can see a need ahead

(01:05:52):
and make provision for it. In fact, in Ephesians of the
five when Bible says that husbands love your wives,
Ephesians 525. Even as Christ who loved the
church and gave himself for it. 26 that he might sanctify and

(01:06:13):
cleanse it with the washing of water.
By the way, Now let me even touch on this briefly.
God is saying that Paul is saying that their husbands must
love their wives the way Christ has loved church.
And in Christ loving the church,He gave himself for the church.

(01:06:35):
Then he comes to tell us that there's an action by which God
sanctifies and cleanses his spouse.
It's in context. I put verse 25 and 26 together
for us. It's in context.
What Paul is in verse 25 and verse 26 is in a certain
context. He said husbands love your wives

(01:06:56):
even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it, that he
might sanctify it. So in his loving he gave and in
his giving he's doing something.He's sanctifying and cleansing,
but he's doing it by the way. It means the way God or the way
Christ cleanses and sanctifies his spouse, which is as the

(01:07:19):
church is by speaking. And he's telling you that you
too, as a husband, this is what you are supposed to do.
So it means that everything you see when God gives you a woman,
he gives you a woman in a in a raw states, you are supposed to
make out of her what God says she is and you do that by his
word. That's why women are emotional

(01:07:43):
and creatures that are moved by weights because even you know, I
was thinking about this two or three days ago.
We even the church, men included, are God's bride.
That's why you give us the Bibletoo many words because we are
moved away. When God tells us I love you, we
are moved by it. When God tells us that I'll be
there for you, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

(01:08:05):
We are moved by it gives us a certain encouragement.
It means that if I don't master this activity of receiving God's
word, receiving God's love, I cannot make my wife into what
God says she will be because there will be no content, no
word content to transform it what God says she is.
And that's why God didn't name Eve.

(01:08:26):
It was Adam, the name Eve. He named it how Eve was supposed
to function. Adam was the one who gave her
that name because he had spent time in God's presence.
You will go romance. Look at the word romance.

(01:08:47):
Do what it means if you say romantic in etymology, it is to
see a need before time and make provision even before your
partner recognizes you have sucha need.
That's romantic. It has nothing to do with sex.

(01:09:13):
That's why you buy a woman a nice car.
So you are so romantic. It should have been in the bed.
It's not what you do Panther sayI'm very romantic.
Romantic is not your sexual drive or your libido.
It is to see a need ahead and make provision before the person
who have the need realizes that they had a need of already made

(01:09:34):
provision. And that's how God deals with
us. That's a good that's anytime you
prepare to God you have providedI've given it is done so before
you came to the recognition thatyou needed it to be done.
He has already done it before you realize you needed it
romantic God. So as a as a provider, will you

(01:10:00):
be able to project Will you be able to see ahead and how will
you see ahead? How will you be able to tell
ahead. It's the man who stays in God's
presence. God can give you visions.
God can give. Look at how God dealt with
Jacob. God spoke to him in dreams.
God spoke to him in visions. He knew, he knew, he knew God.
He knew how to deal with God. He knew how to find God.

(01:10:21):
He knew how to find the will of God.
You don't know how to find the will of God because you don't
know how to let your knees go down and say, Lord, what are you
saying about this scholarship? So that devotion was how to be
led by by the Spirit. You must be you.
It's a song that are late. Some of those were late and what

(01:10:45):
you can learn to hear God for your own personal life.
You'll be able to hear from whoever your children you'll be
able to hear you take your children to the school according
to God's plan because you as thehead of the house, you know a
lot of your father made you go to legal because all his
brothers sisters went to legal. His brothers children went to

(01:11:08):
legal. So legal is the school for the
family. It's a family school.
A lot of things we used to have worldly prestige has nothing to
do with God, has nothing to do with God.
You are confused because you don't know God's presence.
Some 16 verse 11,000 says you show me the path of life in your

(01:11:32):
presence. Does it say you show me the path
of life in your presence? There's fullness of joy,
sadness, all these things you see people are not happy is
because we are not we are not spending time in God's presence.
I don't know how else to preach this thing, but that's what I
can say to you. When you understand this, then
we can do extra classes and talkabout adapting, how to find a

(01:11:55):
beloved, how to have sex, how to.
When you understand God's presence, then we can introduce
the other things. Until you grasp this one, we are
going no way. Every boys, boys will reiterate
God's presence. Every boy's boy is God's
presence. Every boy's boy is God's
presence. Because you wouldn't take
someone's daughter. I'm frustrated because your
emotions are not even in check. But when I'm angry, I beat God's

(01:12:20):
presence. God's presence.
Some of you have gone to collectit is the lack of God's presence
and son of God's ways that makesyou think trying to do elaborate

(01:12:40):
things to impress somebody. We let you win their hearts.
We don't win hearts by making superfluous worldly nonsense
professional 20 verse one. I don't know if you like what
I'm sharing with you, Professor,that 21 verse one says the

(01:13:02):
King's hearts is in the hand of the Lord as rivers of water.
The original Hebrew images like it says that the King's heart is
in the hand of the Lord like irrigation waters in the
irrigation canal. You know the way if you have a
pipe that water is flowing through, the water flows

(01:13:24):
according to the ship and the arrangement of the pipe.
That's what he says. The way the King's hand is in
God's hand is like water flowingthrough a pipe and he says God
tents it whatsoever it's he wills.
So if God says this is your spouse, that person's heart is
in God's hand. You have no business winning

(01:13:45):
their hearts when God wins theirhearts.
God is the major of two hearts. Who?
God must take your heart, take the person's heart and merge it
together. So you want to do elaborate
things, you want to, you want tofly the person to Dubai to

(01:14:08):
propose. That's not the thing, that's not
it. That's the open person.
You don't understand, you know, the way the world is going if I
don't do that, so not like me. Go and check the pictures.
They all propose to their wives at the well when the women were
bringing their father's ship. It means that the lady must also
be concerned about their father's business and once she's

(01:14:29):
bringing her feathership to the world to drink.
We find and meet each other at the well and the one is God's
weight. We meet in church.
You know the person you don't understand.
I want to you know I like when they share with speaking in
tongues and Holy Ghost can be you don't understand you if you

(01:14:50):
don't meet the person God. Adam didn't meet it outside of
eating. When God made it, he brought her
into the garden. Into the garden.
It was in the garden. Adam said, bone of my bone.
It was in the garden. It was in God's presence.
You have met at a club. When we tell you that you must

(01:15:16):
choose somebody in church, you don't understand.
Do you know what Moses said to the daughters of Zillow Fihad?
He said they can marry anyone whom they choose, but the person
must be in the same tribe. It means as a Christian, you
don't marry, you don't choose outside.
Pastor, can you listen to only music?
Pastor, can we, you know, can I,can I win the person?
Bring the person. You don't understand God's

(01:15:36):
Providence and God's sovereignty.
You don't understand that in God's heart and He wants the
best for you. You don't know it.
So when he tells you don't be unequally yoked with
unbelievers, you don't understand because you don't see
God as a good God who can give you what you want.
When God says don't be unequallyyoked, you don't understand

(01:16:01):
unequally yoked a lot of you that's your parents probably on
equally yo, your mother is a Christian, father is not a
Christian or your mother believes in title.
Father doesn't believe in tights.
So there's always contention. It's an unequal yoking and now
it's too late. So because it's too late.
Peter says that when they beholdyour trust conversation, which
is your behavior. Maybe they'll be one over to the
Lord, but you can save yourself that stress.

(01:16:22):
The years of trying to win your spouse over can be glorious
years of harmony. You are in church, yet you want
to. Oh no, it's because you don't
understand God's ways. A man of the presence, my God,
an unbeliever will not even be appetizing.

(01:16:43):
When you see, oh you see, as a dead person walking around
alienated from God, you cannot even be aroused.
But you see church boys sleepingunbelievers, the person they
sleep with, their unbelievance cross pollination because it

(01:17:08):
starts from the our, our, our love for God.
Our, our, our work with God has already been compromised.
When you compromise your work with God, dead things will look
attractive. How can you see a dead person
who is not born again and you, you have feelings for her?
There's a problem. It's because you've left God's

(01:17:32):
presence, dead person, and you are aroused.
My God, I have never been attracted to any unbeliever in

(01:17:53):
my life and I shall never be attracted.
Even the church girls cry. We are not very moved because
some of them the transformation is not taking place.
She has been in church for years.
But no transformation is same asyou.
Your mind that you brought from the world, that's worldly

(01:18:13):
mentality is still there and there's no transformation.
No transformation and you don't know why you are playing with
all kinds of things. But also the reprobate mind is
the mind that does not contain God.
It does not contain the knowledge of God, but that is
the unbeliever. The believers on is called seer

(01:18:34):
conscience. People sit in church, but they
are not being transformed. And like you want to have a
godly home, you want to be a good man and your mind is not
being renewed. That was the way your mind is
renewed in Roman chapter 12 is 2.

(01:18:55):
So you'll be able to prove you'll be able to prove when
your mind is renewed as a man, you'll be able to prove that
some things you'll be afraid because God's word has
consistently renewed your mind. And the word prove means like
the immigration officer who stands at the you know when you
are traveling, you've not traveled before living water or

(01:19:17):
you are crossing the border. There's an immigration officer,
they inspect your bags and if they find anything that is not
allowed to come into their country, they deny you entry.
That's the word proof in Romans 12.
It means that when God's word has consistently renewed your
mind, you will see things, you hear things, you want to do
things, but God's word that has renewed your mind makes your

(01:19:38):
mind be function like that immigration officer.
It proves that no, I cannot datethis lady.
I cannot sleep with this person.Why?
The renewed mind becomes deceived to sieve the wrong
thoughts. Some of you, the things you look
out for in a woman is not what the Bible living says we should

(01:19:59):
look out for. But toes, breasts, ties.
Yesterday someone took the same medium.
You don't understand this one. You will carry like problems.

(01:20:27):
It's serious though. The the basis for our choosing
is not even God's weight. It's not even God's skin color.
It's not even God's weight. And yet God is telling us as
men, you must first understand my presence.

(01:20:48):
When you understand my look people have got, I know what I'm
telling you. Look, when you cultivate God's
presence in my whole life, I cancount the number of people I
think I've liked. Do not be able to fall because
the moment I feel pain in my emotions, I won't talk to God

(01:21:09):
about it. Oh yeah, I'm not like a lot of
people, but you there, you are always crushed.
I said to TBC, the reason why you crash is because you have
stepped on the accelerator of your emotions.
So your emotions are just going.So Daddy, I think I have a crash
is because your emotions have taken the lead.

(01:21:30):
Your emotions is at 200 kilometers per hour.
It's those kind of person that when you crash through
somersaults, they can't roll over because the emotional you
are not guarding your emotions. So you see, let me tell you the

(01:21:51):
truth, me as your pastor, I havenot gone to my father-in-law to
talk about someone I like more than twice.
And the person, the first personI haven't spoke to him about, it
was butterflies. He didn't mind me.

(01:22:13):
The second person I spoke to himabout, he said, let's see what
God to do. He gave me a certain age.
So when you are this age, we'll talk about it.
I crossed that age and I still did not ask, celebrated another
birthday. He came to ask me the last time
I did. I said, oh, when I crossed this
age, we'll talk about it. Say how old are you?
And I said, oh, I trust your leading as a father and I'm not

(01:22:33):
in a hurry because I want to marry and marry.
Well. Some of you will tell you no and
you will come back after three months.
There's another category we tellthem.
No, and they go and do it behindour backs.
You'll be a casualty you. It will shock you as that.

(01:22:55):
It will shock you and a pastor doesn't have to.
Know you know Pastor doesn't. Look, let me tell you when I
knew down to pray God will tell me.
If God doesn't tell me, someone will be saying it in a casual
conversation out here. It's not like someone has come
to the I will see it sometimes on car park after closing.

(01:23:15):
So because people are not very observant, they don't do it on
car park. But they don't know that.
The man is a spiritual man every.
Morning. I pray for TPH when I kneed
down. That's not some of you.
I text you at the strangest times, ask you strangest
questions and you're like, how did he know?
Because I was praying for you. I was praying for you.

(01:23:41):
And you have come to tell me that you like a sister, and I
know that this sister. Watches pornography, I cannot
tell you. And you too.
You watch pornography and you masturbate.
Why? Fire meets fire.
It shall be a bonfire. You are struggling.
That person also. Crashing on and you also like

(01:24:03):
it's also struggling. So Pastor says, you know what,
take your time. Sometimes the person you are
liking is liking somebody else. So in my in my bit to help I say
you know what? Take your time, let God himself
dissolve this one. Then you see two Christian

(01:24:28):
brothers rat racing in the church.
So when the person says something, they don't look at.
Sit down. It's maybe you standing.
Right. And you?
Don't understand it's because wehave left.

(01:24:49):
The place of God's presence. That's why when God came looking
for Adam after he had fallen, God was looking for Adam in the
location. He said, Adam, where are you?
It means the last time we spoke.Well, I left you in my that's
not where you are now. And that's when sin became
appetizing. It means fornication.
Will be appetizing, porn will beappetizing, foolishness will be

(01:25:11):
appetizing. When you leave the place of
God's presence, you realize thatall of it.
That's how sometimes I check if I'm cultivating presence.
All of a sudden, some recently, some songs will be coming to
mind. I'm like, hey, what's going on?
It's not like sometimes, not even like you've worked out of
God's presence. You are in the presence, but you
are not conscious. And God has to find a way to

(01:25:35):
redirect your mind. That's not something I check all
of a sudden. You are noticing but.
Us it's not something you usually notice, but all of a
sudden when you go to church, OK, OK that you have noticed it
then after church. Things that your.
Mind will naturally not go to Itmeans there's something

(01:25:56):
happening to your soul and you must quickly quickly, quickly
detoxify your soul and fumigate your soul.
Else you choose thinking as the will of God, Prophet taught us.
Recently that peace is not the only thing we look at to choose
because your soul can be at peace with something that you
already like. That's why if you like a fair

(01:26:18):
girl and you pray, you are likely to hear yes, because
already you like a fair girl. So is the word of God that.
Separates this Bible says. It's separate the soul from the
spirit and the joints and mouths, and it is a designer of
the thoughts and the intenses ofyour heart.
You already like the thing so your emotions tells you God said

(01:26:42):
yes. And that's why if you don't like
black girls. There's no black girl.
You see that, you hear? Yes, because in your heart you
don't you. So that's sometimes why you
don't like something already andyou are praying you say that God
is leading you to this direction.
So I know that it must be good because in my natural self it is
not something I'll choose. I know you don't like it, but

(01:27:12):
the. Secret is God's presence.
The secret is God's presence. All the distortions, all the
struggles is because we that Godbrought us first and we are
supposed to understand these things.
We have left the presence, so weare doing our own thing.
What's Adam? Where are you?
This is not where I left you. And the same voice that came to

(01:27:39):
Adam every day is now coming to Adam.
And Adam is afraid. It is low presence that makes
you come to church. And not right.
It's no presence. So say, let me write no

(01:28:01):
presence. I said no presence.
My time is almost up. Let me wrap up and see when we
move out of God's presence, the three dangerous tendencies.
Please ask and see this dangerous standards.
I'm going to mention they plagued women too, but they
plagued men more. Number one, sex #2 money and #3

(01:28:28):
power or. Fame.
How many of you? Realize that you can identify
with all three. Raise your left hand who thinks?
He has a sex problem or a sexualrelated.
Problem Or maybe it's not a problem but to say high dosage
of power, you don't know how to channel or you don't feel
sexual. Maybe I'mem talking to the wrong
people. How many of you feel sexual?

(01:28:50):
Highly. Sometimes you can't control it.
How many of you realize that youlove money?
How many of you also realize that?
Certainly you. Create power and attention.
And control. Dominance.
You might not raise a hand, but I will show you why it is true.
Because you see, The thing is this God created all these

(01:29:15):
things for us to enjoy, but whenwe don't make rise the center.
Of these things. They become dangerous to us.
It is God who created sex. But when we pursue sex.
Outside God, sex becomes dangerous.

(01:29:39):
And I tell you something, I showed it to TBC, maybe to bless
you. Maybe to play it to bless you.
Are you with me? When God created the act of sex,
God created sex so that. When a man.
And his wife have engaged in sexual intimacy.

(01:30:00):
They lie down restful and grateful to God for giving them
such a pleasure to enjoy. Because that pleasure.
And that enjoyment. Makes them see more clearly
God's relationship with his church.

(01:30:25):
I'm quiet because I wanted to soak the.
Act of sex must leave you, just as God created the trees and so
that it was good, and he createdthe stars and so that it was
good, and he created the hippopotamus, the giraffes and

(01:30:46):
all, and he saw that it was good, and God called it good.
Sex is also a creation of God, so God intends that by the time
we have sex we can look at him and say you are good.
Now what's under who Say yeah, no, no, you can't say.
God is good because you are. You are.

(01:31:08):
Doing it in a distorted way so you cannot even appreciate.
That's what I'll tell you if youare.
Here you are having sex. You are doing your own self.
You're doing your own self because God wants.
You to enjoy that's that's. Sacred action.

(01:31:29):
It is sacred, it is holy. The reason is holy is because
God intended that it should not be.
The moment we have sex outside of marriage, we make it common
and unholy and because God created it, anything.
God created must be holy. Because God is holy, so sex is a
sacred act. So God intends that we have it

(01:31:51):
in a certain context so that it maintains its holiness.
Doesn't Hebrews of the 13 says the bed is undefiled.
Hebrews of the 13 verse two. Let me show you.
Hey, there's three. There's 4 says marriage is

(01:32:14):
honorable in all and the bed. Undefiled.
It means the bed is only undefiled in the context of
marriage. But because we are.
Sexual creatures as men. Satan.
Plagues us when our emotions arenot.
Properly submitted to God, that's when men can be very

(01:32:35):
promiscuous. You'll hardly find a woman with
a side trick. Oh, no, no.
Because you see, the truth of itis that how?
Many women initiate sex, it's not that those of.
You did you know that 90. Percent of the times you had
sex, it was not a beloved initiated it true or not true.

(01:32:55):
Nobody will use it against you, true.
Or not true. You had all initiated it, you
know, because and. I love something, that one.
Beautiful woman of God said she said that she said that man is
not as ingenious and creative tocreate something like sex.

(01:33:17):
And then she said, if God left marriage for man to structure
and to plan, man is not as pleasurable as God to have
created the action of sex more like sex must have.
No, Think about it. Think about it too.
That kind of pleasure. You know what I'm saying?
You've had it before. So the kind of devilish pleasure

(01:33:39):
that you had, we should have been a holy pleasure.
But to have already had it, do you think you could have ever
sat down to create something that's pleasurable?
No, it must be good. It must be good and God says.
So that your mind is not. Affected do it when you are

(01:33:59):
married. I love you are not careful, you
marry. You'll be having sex with your.
Wife, you'll be comparing her toyour ex, but if you've not
tested it before you are fine. I mean this is what?
We know and then. You see, the thing about sex is
that the. More you are engaging in sex,

(01:34:19):
you are losing your soul becausethe Bible says that if you will
lose your soul. Lose your soul means that you
even lose your direction. Like you will not know how to
feel because it's corrupted. Your emotions becomes corrupt,
your mind becomes corrupt. You know another thing to do to

(01:34:42):
you, but this is that it will root out your confidence.
You can't believe that God will use you.
You can't believe who prophesied.
To you, for all you know, you. You say no, that was something's
problem. That was something's problem.

(01:35:04):
That was something's problem. Babu says that something's hair
began to grow again. Hold it, What was the secret of
something's strength? But his hair has begun to grow
again. But he said no, let me.
Die with my enemies. Meanwhile, where God puts the.
Strength it. Has started growing although he
was blind. This the place where the

(01:35:24):
strength was put. It has started growing again but
something said no I would die with my enemies.
I mean something could have still killed his enemies, still
be alive. He would just be an old judge
God used but was blind but because of his promiscuity he.
Couldn't believe he. Was God's invented so he died of
his enemies? When you're playing around sex,

(01:35:48):
We asked Ruben what his father did to him.
Said, Oh, the Excellency of my strength.
It took the father's comfortable, unstable as what
are you not prosper? So you climbed into your
father's bed. Your test must have been so high

(01:36:08):
to go into. Your father's bed and defile it
there. Are people who can have sex in
their parents room with someone they are?
Not married to on your mother's bed.
And someone said, Daddy, I have a hole in my mother's bed.

(01:36:30):
That's why I do my. I've made a hole, you see.
That's the. Corruption that enters your
system. When you are doing things
outside the way God intended it to be.

(01:36:59):
Sex is a blessing, but it shouldnot.
Control. Think about this.
Do you know that, boys? And.
Ruth spent the night. Together, but boys didn't touch
it. But we said it was at dawn.

(01:37:21):
Ruth came to lie at Boaz's feet,and Boaz covered here with his
clothes, but he didn't touch it.Boaz.
Had sexual integrity. The day dawned on their purity.
You as. Sister in church can say that.
Oh I was saying it was rising heavily, so please can I just

(01:37:43):
come and sit in the hall. When the rain stops, I will go
home. Sit in the hall.
That they will not done in the pretty but this guy this guy.
Bubble, Sir. And he came to pass at midnight
that when the man was that the man was afraid and tend himself
and behold a lady at his feet. The bubble said the man was

(01:38:04):
afraid. You have swallowed every fear of
God so you can have sex with someone in church and be
comfortable. Verse verse 9 and he said, who
are you? And she answered, I am Ruth by.
Hand time of film 20. So I'll teach the ladies.

(01:38:26):
Do you know when Boaz met Ruth in the in the in the treason
floor he proposed and Ruth acting here by sleeping at his
feet was an answer to the proposal.
Guess, guess it was. An answer to the proposal and.

(01:38:46):
He said. I am Ruth dying.
Handmaid Spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid, for
thou at a near Kingsman next verse.
And he said, Blessed. Be Boas was a.
Godly man and the way I even know he was a godly man is not
even. What he's saying here, it was
even the way. He greeted his workers when he

(01:39:08):
showed up in the treasure food. He greeted his workers with God.
He. Says blessed be God, a woman at
your feet at midnight, Some of you.
That's why God can give you spiritual daughters.

(01:39:40):
No sexual integrity. No sexual integrity.
That's the generation we live in, can.
That's the generation that we cannot date godly like.
You see this? I'm taking you back.
Lack of the presence. It is lack of the presence that
when the person is sitting beside.
Your mouth will be twitching. That you if you don't know God's

(01:40:02):
presence, sex. So that has showed me more
kindness in the latter end than at the beginning.
In as much as thou follows not the young men, whether rich or
poor is something. So you didn't follow your
because Boaz was about 80 years old?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe I don't know if I'll

(01:40:23):
change my message for them to myintention.
With them, God's sweet Providence she was.
She could have followed younger men, but she followed Boaz.
Little did she know God was orchestrating Messiah to come
from her lineage. So sometimes the people you are
sleeping with, the people you are misbehaving with, God has

(01:40:43):
ordained that this marriage willbring, when I say a Messiah, not
like they are come to die for the world, but someone who
contributes significantly to God's work in our generation who
are misbehaving, that's the Bible.
Says that he that committed adultery lack.
Of understanding you don't understand what you are doing,

(01:41:05):
jumping from woman to you don't under it to it to do something
to you, you don't understand. If I'm not careful, you even
marry when things start going wrong, you trace it to that
misbehavior and perhaps that's not it.
I know you don't like it, but but who so committed adultery

(01:41:30):
with the woman? Lucky, lucky.
Tell your neighbor be like Boaz.Let the day dawn on your purity.
The day should dawn. Sex Sex Satan plagues you with

(01:41:52):
sexual stuff. And you see, let me tell you
something you're craving for sexis a legitimate feeling.
Let's put it right. The fact that you are feeling
sexual does not mean there's. Something wrong with you if you
don't feel sexual. You need praise.
You're craving for sex is a legitimate.

(01:42:13):
Feeling God is. The one who puts its day and God
was so good that animals don't have sex for.
Pleasure. They have sex.
Because it's a biological need to procreate.
We are the only creatures that have sex for pleasure.
Yeah, when you see a dog having sex.
Is not pleasurable. It's actually painful.

(01:42:37):
We are the only. Creature and God put today God
created it for a. Reason but some of the people
come to me or pastor you don't understand I don't know I.
Can't seem to I'm so. Sexual and I'm like, yes, you're
supposed to be, but the beauty is this, I feel.
Sexual, but I am not. Controlled by my sexual

(01:42:57):
appetites, but I don't also feelsexual when I marry you, when
you. See people following me when you
see. Minuets behind me, you know that
we have the hardest for cyclistshave.
Children. Benny Hin.
Has children Benny hin has children Benny Hin has.

(01:43:22):
Even the men of who look fiery, they also have children.
Because the need for sex is a legitimate need got put in every
one of us so we feel it. Yes, but will not be controlled
by it. Enoch Bible says that Enoch
Enoch walked with God and begat sons and daughters.

(01:43:47):
No I don't understand. He walked put to the first
Genesis 5/22. And not.
Walked with God and was not for God to come home with him and
the way you go down and and not walk with God and after he
begets how did he begets workingwith God?
It means I'm sure God showed himsome things.

(01:44:08):
But if you walk with God, you have an enjoyable sexual life.
If he created sex, he's the one who show you how to enjoy it
because he made it. It originated from him.
You may not necessarily read it in a book.
You will be the actor. You will hear the Holy Ghost.
He take 10360. Leave.

(01:44:31):
The leg in 180. Because it.
Came from him don't get. Satan can.
Never create a pleasure like sex, gentlemen, hear me.
And that's why he tempts you with it.
So when he tempts you, you distort what God originally
created so he doesn't bring him glory.
Because everything God made was to bring in glory, including

(01:44:53):
sex. It means when I'm having sex,
the end of it should be that Godgets the glory the way you give
and. God gets glory the way you pray,
and God gets glory. The way you do your spiritual
disciplines and gods get glory is the same with God intended
the time you are done having sex, he should be glorified.
And God sits in heaven, a glorified God, and you lay in

(01:45:17):
that bed a satisfied pleasure ora godly satisfied and a godly
pleasure man or spouse. That was God's intention, godly
satisfaction. Masturbation can never be godly
satisfaction. It can never be.
It can never be. Porn can never be godly

(01:45:39):
satisfaction. If it is godly satisfaction,
Sir, when you are done, you should not feel any sense of
guilt. The guilt tells you that it was
not a godly satisfaction. And today, look, it is one of
the things Christian guys deal with porn and masturbation.
You have no idea the reason why you're doing it quietly.

(01:46:03):
Is because you. Know it doesn't glorify God.
I cannot even add this one. It's not like you can't stop.
You love. It more than you love God.
Well, pastor, you know. I can't stop, so anytime I can I
tell them increase your love, come up more in love, feed more
is love. Because when you feed more God's

(01:46:25):
love, all these things are not satisfying.
Porn is satisfying you. To you, you think it is a
satisfaction, but the reason I'mstill indulging indulging in it
is because you don't understand that Satan will always give you
pleasures that. Will replace God in your life.

(01:46:50):
So it's not something to be happy about, is not something
you should be happy about doing.May God deliver all those
struggling in house online, but nobody knows.
I realized something. Every temptation.

(01:47:14):
Must. Have a godly root.
The sense that, let me say. It well, don't say that you
feel. Like having sex.
What I'm trying to say is that that you were tempted to do
something means that originally God should have created it.
But maybe it is not time for that kind of pleasure that we
call it a temptation. It doesn't mean that tendency is
a wrong tendency. It means it is called temptation

(01:47:36):
because it is showing up in the time you don't need to express
it. I don't even get what I'm trying
to say. Because a married man will not
say I'm tempted to have. Sex with my wife?
I'll slap you. Everyone, when I wake up, I'm
tempted. To sleep with my what?
Do you mean you are? In the right place, where is the

(01:47:57):
right context within which it must happen?
So you cannot call it a temptation.
The reason why Cyril or Rush call it a temptation is because
at this time you can't do it, but not because it is bad.
Christian Brothers, let's rise. Else will distort it and now
when you marry, you can't even enjoy it because you've you've

(01:48:20):
distorted what God made. Another day will continue.
One day we'll teach on sex. #2 money.
Money is another thing that tries to replace your pleasure
in God. Money and a lot of all the
struggling and the whatever. Is because you want money.
You have three jobs because you want money.

(01:48:42):
You add zeros in the office because you want.
Money because man must eat, man must feed man for chop.
Let me end the demand for chop money.
Now there's something very interesting about money.
Money is you know, you know, youdefine it as a legal tender.

(01:49:03):
That's what social is. Money is a legal tender that
allows you. To exchange.
Goods and services. When you look at the 10
commandments, it. Looks like the first.

(01:49:23):
And the last commandments. Was.
God instruction to you. To guide your heart from money
or covetousness. The first commandment says you
shall have no other God before me.
Then the last answer you shall not covet.
So it looks like the first and the last commandments become
like a bracket or a framework for all the other eight to work.

(01:49:45):
And that's what makes me realizethat when God is not your
topmost enjoyment and priority, every other thing will rule your
life. God gives us money so that we
use money to glorify and to do his purpose.
And that's the Bible, says the book of Zechariah, that through
prosperity shall my cities be spread abroad.

(01:50:08):
But more men are more tempted tohave money than women.
Men like money more than that's always.
I want someone to come, a rich man should come and.
Marry me. But you hardly hear a guy say
that a rich woman should come and marry me.
Is it why it's not true? Because.

(01:50:30):
God didn't even design A. Woman to work strenuously.
But check Genesis. There's no way the woman was
told to wake. It was the man who was told to
wake. And the man was told to work to
provide. And before God even gave the man
a woman, he gave him work. That's not the way.
I'm going to relax. What are you doing?

(01:50:51):
What work do you have doing? I'm not working, but I believe
my faith. God, Hey, you must have
something. That sustains you and because of
this. Many boys are put under
pressure, a lot of guys under pressure trying to get money,

(01:51:16):
trying to get money. It will shock you that in Luke
chapter 14. When Jesus sent them to go and
invite the people to the banquetof everlasting joy, two out of
three their excuses was because of money I have bought.
I have bought the reason they couldn't come to the.
Banquet is because. Money.

(01:51:39):
It was money related to Paul Rice Timothy and said look, the
love of money is the root of allevil, and many have pierced
themselves with the sorrows because of it.
So as a young man. You are tempted.
More to spend your life trying to earn money and trying to call

(01:52:01):
it making a living. Am I?
Saying don't put in your best inlife.
No, I'm saying that. When you stay outside of God's
presence, you will chase money, and God didn't design it like
that. So why does God give us money?

(01:52:29):
Can I? When let me say it like this,
the glory and the beauty and theweb and the.
Preciousness of Christ is the secret of contentment that keeps
money from ruling you. You have money, but Jesus is
more beautiful. Your money can't control it as a

(01:52:50):
rich young rulers. Probably that was that he left
Jesus sorrowful because great possessions had him.
And I want to show you a. Place where your.
Confidence can be. Hebrew chapter 18.
Hebrews chapter 13 Go to verse 5.

(01:53:16):
You see that King James says let.
Your conversation be without convectiousness and be.
Content with such things such asyou have for he has said, I will
never leave you change the version to NIV passion.
I wanted to see what exactly Paul was talking about the word
conversation without convectiousness.
He'll put it in context, says don't be obsessed with money.

(01:53:39):
I'm going to show you something powerful.
In this way says don't be obsessed with.
Money. But live content with what you
have, for you always have God's presence.
Have you seen it? It means obsessing with money
and getting. The problem is that you are not
obsessed with the presence. He said that the reason why you
should not love money and be obsessed with money is because
God has said I will not leave you.

(01:54:00):
It means God, I will not leave you that He has told you it's
powerful, fulfilling and satisfying that money, and
that's why money and wealth is not what you have.
It is. Who you have?
So he said that don't be obsessed with money.
It means contentment. Christians who are not content
with what they have is because they've not understood and

(01:54:22):
reckoned the beauty of God's presence.
Chase, you have 6 jobs, you don't even have time for your
children. They are married men we don't
have. Time for their children.
So they are present, but they are emotionally absent.
There's no time to spend with children because they are
chasing money because they don'tunderstand the Bible say that it

(01:54:46):
is. It is evil to spend your life
working for money. And I love you when I see that
action. I can tell you are still under
Adam's case. Christ.
Has redeemed you, but you have got to put your head there again
because you don't understand thecontentment that comes from
God's presence. So look at it all.

(01:55:06):
Let's put the Scripture in context for, he has said.
He will. Never leave you.
He's hinged on your obsession tomoney means if you don't
understand that God's presence is what I have, you have money
problem and check it all of you chasing money.
You don't really understand. When God has told you I will
never leave you, you don't understand it.

(01:55:37):
When I was prepared I saw this. I've said it to you guys before
on the page. That when you are obsessed with
money, I need to get, I need to make, I need.
It's a sign that you have left God's presence.
How can we even trace and? Track this properly you realize
that any. Desire for money that has

(01:55:59):
nothing to do with God? You should be able to tell that
it's a problem. Any desire, craving for money?
And it has nothing to do with. God, look what the Bible is
saying. That's what the problem is, and
a lot of you that's that's the problem.
That I need money that I need money that.

(01:56:20):
I need money, that's all. You see that we are praying for
prosperity. The guys are more intense
because the ladies is looking atsays Shamu and say, oh, the way
he's praying, he marries me for that.
Answer Shamu, Answer Shamu, answer Shamu, give him the
money. Give him the money because it is
not part no, no. He's saying that if you are
obsessed with money, you can never be content with God.

(01:56:42):
Never, never. Go and check after Adams 4 you
can. Trace all these three things
that plague Solomon's problem was this.
He had money, he had fame, he had women.
David's problem was this. He had money, he had power, he
had women. It's always like that.

(01:57:03):
So you see a guy who likes money, he likes women and
secretly likes power and authority.
So he's in charge because money also gives you the capacity to
be in charge. So you can buy what you want.
You can sleep with whoever you want to sleep with because you
have money. And that's why some of you God
is saying, look, it's not like Ican't prosper you.

(01:57:27):
What's the prosperity? I want to give you what it
would. Do to you.
And that's all we tell you. Learn to give.
Learn to pay ties. It is killing the tendency for
money to become your God. God gives us money so that we
spend it in ways to show money. It can never be our God.
Money can never be my God. And then someone gave me a set

(01:57:48):
of over 30,000 ganasses. The law.
Said it is for me. I did battle with God when I was
going to give the money. By the time that seed that come
to me, I had understood this principle.
I looked at the money and if I put the money in the ground and
I stood on it and I said you shall never dominate me, money
will never dominate me. And so we are doing something

(01:58:08):
for. Profited and we are also in
deceit. Sometimes money can dominate me.
How much? 2003 thousand.
It cannot sustain me. My sustenance comes from God.
People who? Don't give the guy you have no,
you have no record. Of giving over the years.

(01:58:29):
So we tell you, right, you're given because sometimes in one
year when you see how much I've given to God, it gives a certain
confidence that, ah, after I'm not ruled by money.
Because the truth of the matter is the proof.
Of your world, your what? Your.
Wealth and your wealth is not how much came to you is how much
left you. I mean 10,000 the title style.

(01:58:52):
You can't give that thousand to God.
Money is your God. You are like the original.
Anytime it is leaving you, it isleaving you.
Sorrowful. It leaves you bitter.
Seren is chilling, Really. Have I touched the money

(01:59:13):
beautifully for you? So what is covetousness?
Simply put from the scripture. Covetousness is anything you
desire that makes you lose your contentment in God makes you
lose your contentment. In God, the last thing is power.

(01:59:37):
Say power. It is the capacity to get what
you want or pursue what you value.
And now, you see, because man isnaturally egoistic, we love to
be in charge. We love.
To you know. Control we love to however we
love control. You know you're blowing money,

(01:59:57):
you know things are revolving around you.
It pompous your ego, you want tobe in control.
You want to you want actually the guy like you know, the
chairman can say it gives you a certain.
So that's why I'm saying that people who have money usually
have pride problems. And.
It's played with all of us, just.
That 12 disciples who were men and one day he had told them

(02:00:21):
that he was going to die. Can I show you that scripture?
Maybe you've not read it before.He was telling them that he was
going to die in Luke. In Mark chapter 10, verse 30.
Two, he was telling them that, oh, I'm actually going to die.
And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went.

(02:00:44):
Before them, And they were amazed, and they followed him,
and they were afraid. And he took again 12 and began
to tell them the things that will happen to him.
Are you following me? Just telling the people the
things that will happen to him. And what are the things that
were going to happen to Invest? 31 Invest. 33 Behold, we go out
to Jerusalem, and the Son of Manshall be delivered to the chief
priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death

(02:01:07):
and deliver him to the gentlemanjust talking about his death.
That I'm going to die, somethingis going to happen to me.
And then they went on in their in their journey.
Then in verse. 36 That would saythat go to 35 and they shall

(02:01:33):
mock him and. Scourge Charlie, the guy is
telling them what is going to happen to.
Him like he was working, like all of them.
I'm going to die and they're going to scourge me.
They're going to beat me and they will kill me and the Teddy
I will rise again. Then the next verse and James
and John the. Sons of everybody came on James
a master we would that you should just.

(02:01:54):
Do for us whatever we shall desire.
We know that you will do for us whatever you desire, whatever we
would desire. Verse 36 And he said unto them,
What would he that I should do? For what do you want me to do
for you? Verse 37 And he said on him,
Grant unto us that we may sit one on the right hand and run on
that later, since I'm going to die.

(02:02:14):
So if you're going to die, we have a request.
Are you following me? What is?
That request I want to sit at your right hand.
The other also said I. Want to sit at your left next
verse and look at what Jesus said to them.
I just said to them, no, you're not that.
No, you're not what he asks can you drink of the cup that I'm
going to drink of and can you bebaptized?

(02:02:36):
Baptism are going baptized verse39 and they said don't think we
can and Jesus said don't him youshall indeed.
Drink of the cup. That I drink of and with the
battery so just was talking about his death so we want to do
what tell you what to sit on right on your left so hey can
you. Drink the cup that I'm going to.
So here we can so OK and this was James and John sounds of the
already so the first apostle to die James, you know the last

(02:03:00):
apostle to die John so and it was granted so that.
If you were sitting by a. Round table James dies, face all
the apostles dies, then the lastapostle.
So left and right, but that is not my.
Focus there's 40 but to sit at my right and my left.

(02:03:24):
It is not mine to give, but so actually shows us that whatever
we ask God, he does for us. Next verse 41 and when the 10
had it. It means that when Jesus and
John. And James were having this
conversation that Ten were hearing it, and they were
hungry, and they began to be much displeased.

(02:03:45):
There were much displeased with John and James.
This guy thinks he's the master's favorite thing.
This young boy will kill him when the master's not around.
They should. He should go so they did to
Joseph will show him something every day.
He wants to be the one on the small.
But when did you come meet Peter?
I was the one who the Lord called 1st and you want to come
and take my place. And some of you, that's how you
talk when you see the younger boys in the church trying to get

(02:04:07):
closer. So when did they come?
They want to take our please, itshall not happen.
It has happened, it's happened. Verse 42 I wanted to see
something, but Jesus called untohim, but Jesus called him unto
him. And said unto them you.
Know that they, which are accounted to rule over the
Gentiles, exercise lordship overthem, and their great ones

(02:04:29):
exercise authority over them. So he's telling you how the
Gentiles rule, the rule with thelordship, the exercise
authority, the people struggle. There's 43.
But so shall it not be among you, but whosoever should be the
great among you. Shall be your minister, so just

(02:04:49):
saying that. Look, the way you want to Lord
over one another. That's not how I brought you up.
That's a power problem. Doesn't say power corrupts and
absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Have you not seen a guy who became class prophet?
He was your friend but he won. If you don't think I'll write

(02:05:11):
your name. Now let's let's finish up 44.
I wanted to see something. Next base who's ever want to be
your servant, the cheapest must be deserved of all, for the Son
of Man came not to be ministeredunto by the minister, and to
give his life as a ransom for many. 46 OK so let's read it in

(02:05:32):
Luke's accounts now in Luke 22 verse what?
So it's the same destiny. So when you grow up, Jesus was
telling them about. His death and then a few hours

(02:05:55):
later. He realized that the disciples
were quarreling, so then he. Came to ask them verse 24.
No, this is not what I'm lookingfor.
And there was also a strive among them, of which.
Of them should be counted the greatest.
Verse 25 and he said unto them, the kings.
No, I'm looking for Mark 9 Versewhat Mark 934?

(02:06:22):
Yes, I shared it at the volunteers meeting.
Go to the. State Let's read from theaters.
And the departed dance and pass through.
Galilee and he would not that any man should know.
It was 31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The

(02:06:44):
Son of Man is delivered into theHouse of men, and they shall
kill him, and after that he is killed, he shall rise.
The Teddy good mark. 932 But they understood not what he was
saying, and they were afraid to ask him. 33 And he came to
Capena home and been in the house.
He asked them What is this that he disputed among yourselves by
the way, it means what Jesus said to them that the Son of man

(02:07:05):
is about to die and he's about to be taken away.
The disciples started quarrelingand he was quiet the when they
arrived and they settled. I said, oh, what were you for
fighting about while we were coming on the way.
Verse 34 and they were not even shy to say it.
Look at the Bible, said, but they held.
Their peace because they were shy.
To say what they were fighting about passion.

(02:07:28):
Please follow me, don't get lost.
None of them said a word becausethey had.
Been arguing about which one. Of them will be the greatest.
Hold it, your master is going todie after he has told you he's
going to die your next so let's hope you come let me animate it
so as we're going I said, oh, I'm going to be dying very.

(02:07:50):
Soon. And they'll kill me.
But on the teddy I saw rise. Then there was quiet in the
Genesis to start arguing, befollowing me.
And Jesus was quiet. Is it me?
I'm gonna be there. I used to be.
Following you we're working Hey follow you see they.
So argue they post at a point they forgot they're following
their master and the master was just going and they were

(02:08:13):
following. Hey, follow your master.
Hey, Patrick, you know then Jesus, they've said to them now
Jesus asked them, what were you people discussing?
You should have said, Master, We're discussing the Beatitudes

(02:08:35):
with thoughts. Master, the testimony of the
woman with the issue of blood was.
Amazing. And they could.
Not talk because of what they were talking about.
They were arguing about who was going to have the most power
when Jesus is not around. Who were Jesus issue?
Who the cup? Fits.
Let it, Peter says. My head.

(02:08:56):
The cup fits. Me, the master must die and
sometimes it's like that so we can be serving in the church as
men, serving gods papers, but people are looking for the day
pasta is not around. It's a main problem.
Power Want to be on the court, want to control.
Everything people, let's be honest, you like.
It when you are there sensors, Idon't want to go and he goes, I

(02:09:19):
don't want to come and it's a beautiful thing.
People like it. They say, hey, Crystal standing,
he will stand where is working people are following and say,
oh, the man of God has come so you can't even promote people.
And do maintain humility in their.
Posts Because there's something in the nature of man.

(02:09:39):
That egoistic nature in man makes him create power.
A man who do anything with powerto make sure he's comfortable,
even at the expense of others. That's a good place.
The manager if I sleep. I'll promote you because he has
money and he's the manager, his power, and that's how some men
are. But you see, if we come to.

(02:10:01):
Understand the place. Of God's presence, we will not
have these 3 problems. Jesus didn't have the money
problem, Jesus didn't have the woman problem, and Jesus didn't.
Have a power. Problem.
Can you imagine you if you were Jesus?
You can tell what that wine, my God.

(02:10:30):
You can turn water to wine. You can multiply bread.
You can speak to the storm. If it was you that were.
Jesus, the day you spoke to the.Storm and the disciples said,
What man is this? That even the winds you say it
is me, it is under 1. I am the storm side.

(02:10:51):
You print a T-shirt storming. From silence.
At the back every. Boy, every man under the sound
of my voice you know you crave to be in.
Charge. That's why you struggle to even
submit when your boss is a woman.

(02:11:16):
It's a power problem and this isthe three problems that plagues
every man. We have a money problem, we have
a woman problem, and we have pride problem, and all these 3
problems is because we don't understand what we started with
God's presence. If I love God's presence, I will

(02:11:36):
find my contentment in God. I will not have a money problem
if I understand God's problem. I will understand my pleasure
and my satisfaction in God. I will not have a woman problem
if I understand God's presence. No position in this life will
make me act like a fool because I understand that just saying
that the Gentiles they exercise dominion, but that's not how you

(02:11:57):
are supposed to be so over the day we.
Put you in leadership and you are not happy we have to turn
the. Church upside down because
pastor is not happy. People can even be themselves
around you. Anymore because they're in
charge. And that's why is it because

(02:12:18):
power is also primarily a man problem?
We have more men in politics than women cause the main thing.
That's all you see A woman. Who tries to fight for the
things? Men fight for they say, Hey you.
Have a man's hearts because naturally as a woman there in
presidency. For hobby.

(02:12:39):
But their hearts there you can notice something.
And that's why the things men struggle with when the woman
struggle with it is serious. A woman who have a sex problem
how many male prostitutes prostitutes is more attributed
to females than males. Meanwhile, sex is the natural
need or the primary need of the man, but when the woman takes it
and becomes a problem, she makesa profession out of it.

(02:13:08):
It's a clapping clap. Well.
Because she's a multiplier when the woman.
Is in power and she doesn't haveGod should be one of the most
cruel. Even when she was not in power,
they asked her, what do you want?
Someone joined the Baptist head.Talk about his head.

(02:13:34):
Look at Jezebel, she controlled her husband.
That guy not bought what's his name?
Ahab was a cool guy all his problem was his wife.
This guy saw a field now but by this I like it just was a
consider it done. I will get it for you.

(02:13:55):
It's also that when. Ahab got the field.
He was grieving. The wife had done it when.
Power enters a woman. That's it and.
That's why if you look. At it closely, Satan's primary
need is to eliminate man so thathe can contort God's intention
for the woman. Because it's not the seed of the

(02:14:17):
man that bruises the head of theis the woman.
Tomorrow I'll get the realities.When they understand why God
created them, they will not wantto be like men, because they
will understand that in the way God created them to function.
When the Bible says that great people publish the way.
He says the word of God came andthen great.
For the company that published them, the Hebrew actually says

(02:14:38):
great were the women that published them.
Women are natural media team andpublications managers.
How did the Samaritan woman bring the whole city to Jesus?
We are not told anywhere there gathering the monarchy, Yes,
he's The only exception. He brought 10 cities, the car

(02:14:58):
police. But this woman, single woman,
brought a whole nation to see the beauty of God is this.
When the man understands his place and the woman understands
her place and the man understands his purpose and the
woman understands her purpose, the purpose of God will be
accomplished in the earth. But women want to be men and men

(02:15:19):
want to be women. So the man is changing his sex
organs to be like a woman and the woman is they are swapping
like the way they swap iPhones. You had 13 Pro Max and say no
you want to be a 16 Pro. So the whole distortions is
because Satan knows. That if we are going to function

(02:15:41):
according to how God made us, wewill see tremendous change and
beauty on this earth. Have you been blessed?
So these are the three things guys struggle with.
Money, sex and power. And I pray for you today that

(02:16:07):
it's not be a problem. For you.
And what is the solution? Contentment in God.
Contentment in God is the solution to all these problems.
Contentment. That's why we don't have to beg
you to come to church as it is. I will mention your name.
Anger. When I.

(02:16:29):
Sit down to counsel people Crystal I realized that all
their. Problem is that they've not seen
God as their supreme treasure. So the problem comes from so the
problem comes from because thinkabout it, if God truly satisfies
you that's it is a powerful boysvoice message.

(02:16:57):
So what is your take home from today's meeting?
As men we are going to pursue God's presence and that's it.
Stop chasing scholarships and all chase God's presence.
Adam found his wife in the presence.
All the pictures found their. Spouses in the prey.
It's God's presence, God's presence.

(02:17:18):
Adam didn't know he needed a woman.
It was God who came to say it. Is not good.
But you are telling God I'm single.
It is not good. I'm 30.
It is not good. Give me one of your daughters.
Ah, God, I want Eliza. Kaba, SATA, SATA.
SATA. I want Eliza.

(02:17:48):
But you have never. Prayed that Lord, my desire for
your word has gone down. Revive my desire.
You've not prayed A revival for the word.

(02:18:13):
Let's not dissolve comfort. Relationship I'm the right?
One for her. I understand your presence.
I know. Look, Adam didn't know you
needed a woman. It means the more you think you
know that you have a need. You have not been blinded and
satisfied by presence. Because presence you make

(02:18:36):
everything in this world look like nonsense and things you
don't need. The moment you are still
recognizing me. Oh the Lord, if my shepherd, I
shall not want. It means every time there's a
lot the Lord has not become a shepherd and wants are not
needs. He didn't.
Say I shall not. Need and do you know, do you

(02:18:59):
know oh, oh, oh, do you know that the word shepherd in the
Hebrew, the word shepherd is also translated best friend
means when you have become a friend of God, you have no ones
and how do you become a friend of God presence?
His weight. Loving him he says look at
passion says the Lord is my bestfriend.

(02:19:21):
I always have more than enough. It means when God has not become
the center point you want to marry, but you you if marriage
was the proof of success, success in life.
Jesus had failed. He never married.
Paul has failed. He never married.

(02:19:43):
Think about it. Think about it.
So when? I'm married to prove that it
won't prove. Anything, in fact, the Hebrew
word for woman means reveal of the heart, means everything.
You are in marriage. Your wife will reveal it.
It is a wife that will reveal tous.
You are not patient like we think you are.

(02:20:09):
Yeah, sure. Reveal your heart.
And should not just reveal it. She's a multiplier, she will
multiply it. That's why you have.
No business looking for a woman if you've not.
Understood. Your primary need is God.

(02:20:30):
God is a primary need God. Is a primary need.
Have you realized all the? Things are chasing all the sex.
You've had are still not satisfied.
We all come out of ask some people to come and share.
Some of their stories too. No sex.
Will satisfy you no sex and every sex outside God's plan
every sex outside God's timing is an expensive 1 you pay for it

(02:20:53):
in waste something paid for it with his life.
Ruben paid for it with a case inside the scriptures.
Bible says in progress. Chapter 9 says it will lead you
to the grave and. While you are doing it.
Demons will come. You're looking at what you are
doing. One action of 5 minutes of
pleasure, Doctor George Corset 5minutes of foolish orgasm and

(02:21:15):
your destiny is gone. We.
Share the same need as men, but some of us decided.
Will not be controlled right. I'm some don't want you are
doing it. Secretly.

(02:21:36):
That is not what you say. We should read, we are not just
had a conversation for that Lord.
And I've been, you know, it's not even like you want to think
you're thinking is thinking. You have to arrest your
emotions. Hey, come here.
This is one of my son. So many very vulnerable states.
That's the one that is that's. The thing if you don't train

(02:21:57):
yourself with God's word. To work on your emotions in the
days when there's problem, you misbehave.
I've realized that when you become highly emotional, you
misbehave and you are there. You are like, I don't feel love.
Nobody cares about me. That's what leads you back to
the. Poem That's what leads you back
to the fornication, because you are looking for love in places

(02:22:18):
you cannot find. Herein is love, not that we love
God. But he loved us and sent his son
to be the wrath absorbing proposition for our sins.
So this how love is demonstrated.

(02:22:38):
So anytime you feel like you're not love, go and see how.
God has demonstrated. Love, he demonstrated it in the
Son of Jesus Christ and the morewe feed on Jesus.
Go and listen to my message on Adrian the Beloved podcast
Feeding Daily on the Master's Love.
Everyone, when you wake up, you must feed on the breast of your
sacrifice and that is everyone. You are feeding on God's love
because you see if you are goingto be a man who can give love,

(02:22:59):
you must have eaten love before.And it's not the love the world
is telling you in the novels andin the books.
It is the love God is in that book.
This is how love is and you mustfeed on my love consistently.
When you see a guy who cannot love, he has not experienced
love, so he doesn't even know how to give it.
So in his mind if I. Love you, I sleep with you.

(02:23:20):
Because they've not seen the love of God that is
unconditional. That you can love a lady without
asking anything in return. By my generation.
You love somebody, you must get something.
You give them cash, you collect kind.
Because you've not learnt and seen.
Love that God loves you without taking anything.

(02:23:42):
From you and the people in church they help the sisters
they pray for. You they want to tear.
They want to take their box, they help you, they want to
collect something. We don't know how to do things
sacrificially. Because we've not experienced or
we've not allowed ourselves to be drenched in unconditional
love. And I show that God's love is

(02:24:03):
absolutely has no conditionalities, doesn't say if
you do this, I'll do this. If you do that, I'll do that.
You see married men with. Their wives and they give
conditions. If you do this, I'll do this for
you. No, no, it's a it's a love
problem. And because we are ego, we have
ego. We don't even want to show that

(02:24:23):
we are hating within. There are a lot of guys who are
hating, but they are not showingit.
A lot of you are hating. When they are talking so it's.
A foolish adage to Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus Cry.
He didn't cry. He will.
He's do you know that word and Jesus wept.

(02:24:43):
It's an intensity of whipping. He didn't do that like intruder
say the crime has took you, thatyou are even.
Struggling to. Vent out your tears.
That's what it means that Jesus wept.
It means Jesus was not a man. Meanwhile he's the portrait of

(02:25:05):
manliness in God's example of the mailman.
What are you talking about? Don't let this be a.
Nightmare. A lot of you have to.
Change and the change is. Not you trying to do something.

(02:25:27):
It is allowing God's weight to effect the change.
Then when you are coming to tellme that you have seen somebody,
I can say. Yes, at some point.
Some points. You can't enter a.
Marriage still dealing with porn.
You can't, you can't. You struggle.

(02:25:48):
So it means why your wife gets pregnant.
What will you do? So self-control is needed.
More in marriage than outside marriage.
Because in marriage you have legitimate.
Rights. To be sexually intimate but your
wife is in a state she may not even if she can not as

(02:26:09):
satisfying as you want because now there's an obstruction.
It means she'll never. Satisfy you, you'll go back to
your addictions. Because you never learnt as a
single man that although I feel it, I will hold it in if I live
25 years of my life. Or that I marry a 30 and.

(02:26:29):
I've lived 30 years without any sexual distance with women and
all kinds of silly things in marriage.
I will not struggle because for 30 years learnt how to have
legitimate feelings and not satisfy them.
It is not in the marriage that your wife is going to be.
I have a headache, I cannot do it.
Have I blessed you? Have I blessed you or you didn't

(02:26:53):
like it? You know the sad thing?
Many will not believe what I'm saying and to the enter marriage
I realized. That they are now trying to
learn in marriage what they should have learned A single me.
You don't know how to save now. It is not a marriage.
Ruling What? Do I have a meeting for those?
Things. So then my focus is not to teach
you how to save and how to dress.

(02:27:14):
And no, no, no, no. Do you have any questions?
Do you have any questions? I think they sent an anonymous
link so that some people will. Not know no or not know the
question. Are there questions there?
No questions. I'm bleeding to.

(02:27:37):
See you guys do well, Yeah, that's why I'm doing.
These meetings tomorrow. I'm meeting the ladies.
That's. What I'm doing these meetings?
I want to see you do well.
