We're going to pray because something is
about to rest on you now.
Something is truly about to rest on you.
How wealth works, number one, your
spiritual roots.
By practicing the spiritual laws,
surrender, tithing, >> [music]
>> [music]
>> giving. Number two, are you ready?
The second way wealth works
is by engaging the law of value. The law
of value. Koinonia, listen now. The law
Value and productivity is a very
important component to becoming wealthy.
Value is a measure of your usefulness to
a people. Value is a measure of your
usefulness to a community. Value is a
measure of your usefulness to a person.
Law of value.
Your ability to provide solutions,
solutions that are needed, and solutions
that are useful. If you're writing,
write that down. Solutions that are
needed, and solutions that are useful.
Value is beyond your passion. The
assignment of your passion is not to
give you money. It can give you money,
but the assignment of passion is
fulfillment, not money.
There are many things you are passionate about
about
that will not give you money, but in
doing them you will find fulfillment.
Are we together? There are many people
who advocate, "Oh, look for your
passion, make money out of it." You are
joking. There are many things you are
passionate about that the world does not
need. You do it so that it is able to
give you fulfillment. It is not just
passion that gives you money.
Very important, the law of value. Please
listen. I have taught you here that the
rewards that we receive in life and
destiny is in direct proportion to the
need for what we do, our ability to do
what we do, and the difficulty in
replacing us.
If and when you are not valuable, you
are going to be poor. I'm telling you this.
this.
There are many preachers who are
prosperous, but they do not know why
they are prosperous.
What I am giving you now is value.
I am not selling it, but it is still
value. Are we together? Connecting you
to faith, helping your understanding to
live an an effective Christian life
holistically, it is value. And even
though I am not selling it, God's laws
will not change. Every time you dispense
value, a reward will come eventually,
whether it is sold or it is given free.
The Bible say, "Give, and it shall be
given unto you."
Give. I'm giving now
because I love Jesus and I love you, but
it will be given unto me because it is a law.
law.
I don't have to receive where I gave,
but I will receive what I gave.
So, I am giving you in Koinonia here,
and the reward for what I'm doing now
can be waiting for me even in another
nation, and somebody will bless me. It
is how it works.
But hear me, ladies and gentlemen,
everybody must be valuable. You must be
an active contributor. What you call
products and services are simply your
value that you are now packaging to
become products and services with
excellence. Are we together? I'll talk
about productivity shortly, but it's
important. You must find something that
you have that the world needs that they
are willing to pay you for. It's important.
important.
Very important. I wrote something here,
in fact. Write a list.
Write a list of the things that people
are willing to pay for. Most of you
don't know what people are willing to
pay for.
If you don't know what people are
willing to pay for, then you will never
never never never be able to receive
money under no circumstances. What are
people willing to pay for? Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
There are thousands of people on this
ground, outside all the overflows, and
after service, most likely, more than
60% to 70% of the people gathered here
are going to eat before they sleep. Am I
right on that?
There is a guarantee that by morning
they will eat again. By afternoon they
will eat again. BY NIGHT THEY will eat
again. All through their lifetime, what
people are willing to pay for. Men must
dress. Someone made what I'm wearing.
Someone made what you're wearing.
Someone will make what you wear
tomorrow. There is no day in your entire lifetime
lifetime
even when people die, they bury them
What people are willing to pay for.
Your phone. Your phone gets missing, and
you become disoriented until you get a
SIM, get another phone.
Telecommunication companies make
billions by the day. What people are
willing to pay for. How about those who
transported you from your house to bring
you here? There are hundreds of people
waiting now after service to convey
those who may not have their vehicles
yet to take them back home. And for
every one of them, you will pay for.
What people are willing to pay for.
Every day somebody's birthday. What
people are willing to pay for. Every day
every week is someone's wedding.
Are we together? Now we are stepping
into the festive period. What people are
willing to pay for. There is a 33
million housing deficit in Nigeria. 33
In Abuja here, by the privilege of God's
grace, sometimes when I want to help
people maybe here and there their
accommodation, someone can get their
accommodation, and just before they pay
for it, you will hear that someone else
has come to pay for it because there is
a housing deficit, especially among
young people who are starting. What
people are willing to pay for.
How about health?
Who will not pay any amount to remain
alive? What people are willing to pay for.
Are we together?
I'm giving you an example so that you
don't just sit down and say there is
nothing I can I can do. It's not true.
Whoever believed that in a world where
70% of the world is immersed in water,
you still pay for water.
The one thing almost all of us pay for
is water. Any nation, anywhere, will pay
for water. You are paying for the one of
the most abundant resources on earth.
You pay for water, you pay for land. The
Hallelujah.
Did you hear what I said? Yet. Hoping
that we are not careless with our
environment until it becomes polluted
and we start selling air.
Bring what is only for ICU patients, and
it now becomes for rich people because
the world has become polluted
Ladies and gentlemen,
you know you are valuable by who is
willing to follow you. If nobody is
following you, it's a report card that
you are not valuable or valuable enough.
As a man of God, as an individual, who
is following you and willing to pay for
Are we together?
It is amazing, ladies and gentlemen,
that when you become valuable, it does
not guarantee that you'll be wealthy.
No, but that value already puts you in a
position of advantage because now you
are ready to move to the next level
called productivity.
Productivity. The law of value talks
about discovering
the solutions that you can bring to
people, but productivity is the act of
packaging your value and turning it into
products and services.
Listen carefully.
Productivity is different from value.
Value talks of discovery. Productivity
talks of packaging, refining your value.
There are many people who can sew, many
people who can sing, but nobody can pay
them for it. The reason is because it's
still at the realm of value. They are
not yet productive.
Productivity. Productivity.
Productivity.
Productivity. And then,
the next law that I will talk about very quickly
quickly
is the law of excellence. This one is a
very serious one.
This is what separates men from boys in
the world of value and so on and so
forth. Excellence.
This is very important. Most believers
are poor and mediocre because they are
not excellent. There are brands that
when I mention, what is the difference
between some construction brand that you
know and you respect, and an ordinary
mason who is willing to build your
house? If you have the money to, even if
it's your brother that is the architect
and the mason, you will most likely not
invite him. Why? You would rather invite
some construction company that has some
reputation. What are you inviting? You
are inviting their brand, a testimony of
consistency, integrity, and excellence.
Please look up. Everybody buys
excellence, not just things. Excellence.
Excellence.
Excellence. Most church people are not excellent.
I've had the honor of traveling a bit,
and I've been to many places and many facilities.
facilities.
Believers are not excellent people.
You can almost know a facility that was
built by a believer because you will see
it laced with carelessness.
You are using a bathroom, the water is
coming back to you as you are bathing.
You look at a sink and open the the path
you open cold water and it's hot water
that is coming on you because the the
labelings were wrong.
They put the blue one for for cold water
up I mean and interchange them. So, YOU
JUST BURN YOUR JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
WASH your hand somebody does not care.
Believers are not excellent.
Give believers contract and most I know
things are changing, but I need to
challenge most believers get angry. Oh,
why church people are not doing it? I
can do this thing that people are doing
and you give them something and watch
the way they disappoint you. And then
they say are you not a Christian? You
should not be angry. You should do the
fruit of the spirit is love, joy and and
so on and so forth.
Please listen to what I'm telling you
and take it seriously. You enter a
restaurant that is owned by some
unbeliever somewhere, there is
excellence, there is courtesy. All that
greeting you will pay for it, but at least
least
they will charge you and you will pay
for it. There's excellence, but not Christians.
Christians.
You step in and the person to greet you
is there yawning,
folding his arm, gossiping and while you
come, "Hey, okay, you can sit down. I'm
coming." They will now go and on the generator.

That will take time. You are already
And the person [music] who is coming to
serve you is frowning as if this face is
Say excellence.
There are There are many people in Abuja
here. Some of you are my dear people
listening to me. It's not that you
cannot You You have something to do, but
you are not excellent.
You cannot dress kings. Someone cannot
give you something to fix. You spoil it
again and bring it back.
Excellence is the determination to
surpass ordinary standards.
Everybody who has the money to give you
is looking for a standard. If you can
meet that standard, you will enter your
financial Sabbath. Believe me.
There are people in Nigeria who only sow
for kings.
Fashion people. And it's not because
they were that way. They were so
exceptional. All it takes is for one
great person and that one is God's
assignment to bring the great people.
Oh, this is what you make? Wow. This is
exceptional. Let me tell all my friends
that I found somebody and in one moment
they will not even ask you how much do
you sow? They will just give you 5
million and say sow whatever you can
sow. Let's test you. That is TESTING 5
MILLION. YOU WHO IF THEY HAD ASKED YOU,
you would have said it's 40,000 per one.
Now they gave you because they saw your
excellence and they believed. THEY JUST
JUMP-STARTED YOUR MINDSET AND FROM THAT
LEVEL you will not do any sowing less
than 1 million again because excellence
brought you here.
Believers, please listen. Excellence.
Tomorrow go back to whatever it is you
are doing. Clean the place. Make it healthy.
healthy.
Make it exceptional.
You are a business person, don't let Let
me give you something. If a big idea if
God gives you an opportunity to do
something you don't have capacity to do,
don't preserve the name and let someone
else take the profit. You did not lose.
Did you hear what I said? Preserve the
name, the track record and give somebody
who would do an excellent job.
If they give YOU A CONTRACT OF 100
million and honestly is just favor.
Prophecy came and favor NOW INSTEAD OF
DAMAGING THAT THING, you lose the profit
and you lose your name. Bring someone
who is competent. Even if the person is
greedy and wants to take everything, you
preserve the name.
The name will recycle the opportunity again.
Hallelujah.
I made up my mind as a man of God. Now
listen, let me tell you this.
I do ministry with a heart of a
shepherd, but I have the brain of a businessman.
businessman.
A businessman not because I'm all out
for money, no. Everywhere I go to
minister, I see what I'm serving the
body of Christ as the gospel, but I also
see it as a product. Everything I say
is going to be a is going to affect and
influence the life of millions of
people. And so I do my homework. I make
sure that if I ever stand on this stage
or any stage, I'm communicating as much
as I can intelligent life applicable principles.
principles.
That is the reason why I listen to my
own messages. Every message.
I listen to be blessed by what God has
said through me, but I also listen to
learn and see areas of improvement. Ah,
this statistics that I brought is now
outdated. Correct it. Next time you go
on stage, you correct it.
Are we together? Yes. There are times
that I preach and people listen to me
and with with every sense of love,
sometimes they send us,
"Apostle, you spelled this this way or
you pronounced this this way. This is
how it is. Can you improve yourself?" I
don't say who who is this stupid person who
who
I'm passionate about excellence and I'm
not ashamed of my limitations.
I learn, improve myself and I come back
to correct myself a more superior version.
version.
There are many believers who say I can cook.
cook.
Because be mindful of the person whose
money you want to collect. You want his
money, but does the person like you?
Does he want your service?
Do you know there are people just this
December alone, they will make in excess
of 10 million packaging hampers?
I'm not exaggerating. In excess of 10 million.
million.
There are hampers that are almost 1
million, 2 million depending on what you
put there. And someone can order 30 just
to use it and honor those who have
blessed them and it will go to one
person. Whereas someone else is praying
and say, "God, when will you come for
me?" And God is saying, "Okay, let's be
honest. If I give you this thing now,
you will break two people's relationship
because of lack of excellence.
Put something that is meant for women in
a package they told you is for a man
Believers for you.
Let us not make it look like it is a
cause for us to love Jesus. Loving Jesus
does not take away your brain. Please go
and sit down. Whatever you cannot do
well, challenge yourself and then
surround yourself with sincere people
who can love you, but tell you the truth.
truth.
Don't surround yourself with
mediocrities that will always tell you
this is exceptional. If you come here
and you sing, my precious people, if you
didn't do well, they can pat you and
say, "Well done, eh, but the way you did
this and that." Don't just say IT WAS
EXCELLENT. NO. IF IT WAS NOT EXCELLENT,
IT WAS NOT EXCELLENT. It's as simple as that.
You made pounded yam that is looking
like garri.
The soup people do not know whether it's

EVERYTHING THERE YOU ARE CONFUSING THE PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
Go back and be excellent.
Yes, it is the will of God to lift you,
but not in that state. Which king will
you serve with that kind of thing?
And it's the kings that have the money
to give you. I hope you are not just laughing.
laughing. Yes.
It is my desire to see that I serve
kings. Men of God, let me challenge you
with all due respect. There are certain
people who will never come and sit down
under your ministry until you rise to a
certain level of excellence. Excellence
in delivery.
Nobody will carry his wife and children
of noble repute and come and sit down.
Watch the people that came for Jesus'
program because they knew that they
would hear something that is life

Many believers lack excellence,
but you want everything to work out well.
well.
You buy a rubber plate from a believer,
it's already bent before it gets home
because it was so poorly done in a bid
to compromise on standards. No.
I'm challenging believers.
Money flows every day,
but it flows from those needing
excellence to those who serve
excellence. It will jump those who are
not interested, those who do not respect excellence.

How do you know you are excellent?
Whenever you are called when kings arrive.

Every time kings arrive and you are
called is because you are excellent.
Yes, sir.
Some great man is coming and you are the
one who is contacted. Please come. Excellence.
Excellence.
Apostle, I do interior decoration.
People marry every day. Now it used to
be every week, now it's even every day.
People marry on Monday, Tuesday because
they don't want trouble. They marry on
Wednesday when there's nobody. They
marry in their homes, not even they just
look for somewhere and they bless them.
But there are people who do interiors
who have not done more than two this
year. I'm not insulting you. There are
demonic attacks. Yes, I know. But there
are people who are just not excellent.
It's as simple as that.
Let me tell you this. If you want to be
excellent, allow people higher than you
to do a critique of what you are doing.
If you mark your script by yourself, you
will give yourself A.

One more law.
And then we'll find somewhere to pray. I
will talk about one major thing. Are you ready?
ready?
The law of relationships. Koinonia.
Relationships. Relationships. Relationships.
Relationships.
This is one of the mysterious systems >> [music]
>> [music]
>> by which God fast tracks our journey to
being wealthy. Relationships.
Proverbs chapter 13 verse 20.
13 20
He that walketh with wise men
shall be wise.
But a companion of fools shall be
destroyed. My life would change
radically when I learned the value and
the power of strategic relationships. I
have taught you on relationships
extensively and I don't intend to go
back into it.
But I'm just hoping and praying as God
put this burden in my heart, my dear
people, that you will believe that who
likes you can redefine your financial destiny.
destiny.
Who hates you does not matter. No. You
will always have naysayers.
But who likes you can redefine your
financial destiny. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Praise the name of the Lord.
There are people who have been elevated
overnight because someone liked them.
Relationships are powerful.
Powerful. Powerful. When people when you
learn to relate with people, they invite
you into their world. They invite you
into their space. Genesis chapter 12.
When you read from verse two to four. I
like verse four. Verse three says, "And
in thee shall all the families of the
earth be blessed." Go to verse four now.
It now says, "So Abraham
in response to the the instruction he
got from God
as the Lord had spoke as spoken, he
departed and Lot went with him." I like
this scripture.
Lot was not called by God to walk with Abraham.
Abraham.
Lot just saw a man who God had blessed.
Please keep that scripture verse four.
The Bible says, "And Lot went with him."
And Abraham was 75 years old when he
departed out of Haran. Go to verse 13
and verse one for sake of time. 13 and one.
one.
And Abraham went out of Egypt, he and
his wife and all that he had and Lot
with him into the south. Verse two.
And Abraham was very rich. Why? Because
he obeyed God. The God factor. Rich in
cattle, silver and gold. Three.
And he went on his journeys from the
south even to Bethel to the place where
his tent had been at the beginning
between Bethel and Ai. Verse four. Unto
the place of the altar which he had made
there at the first. And the Bible says,
"And there Abraham called upon the name
of the Lord." Read verse five with me,
please. "And Lot also, which went with
Abraham, had flocks and herds and tents."
tents."
I have shared it here that it's
important for you to know whether you
are Abraham or Lot. Not everybody will
be Abraham, but everybody can partake on
of what God told Abraham. If you are Lot,
Lot,
master relationships.
I have told you, ladies and gentlemen,
the greatest way to maintain
relationships is gratitude. If you
cannot be a contributor to that
relationship by bringing value, lavish
that relationship with gratitude.
Ingratitude will destroy great
opportunities from your life.
Hallelujah. There are businessmen who
did contracts once and they refused to
say thank you to all those who played a
role. And I'm not just talking of giving
things, acknowledging the contribution
of men to your life. Nobody will leave you
you
if people know that they feel at home,
they feel loved, they feel honored
around you. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Relationships, very powerful mystery.
You don't remember anybody's birthday.
You don't remember anybody's
anniversary. And these are people who
matter to you.
You hear that someone who helped you
before just lost his mother and father.
You don't care. Even when they tell you,
you just say, "Okay, may God help them.
Everybody dies."
And then later on you now come and say,
"I'm hoping and trusting that God will
use." The person you ignored just
becomes the chairman of a board.
Do you know there are things that can be
so easy if the people who are there
like you.
The memory of your kindness to them.
There are people who have risen to
strategic positions today and with all
due respect, some of them reach me and
say, "Apostle, please if you need any
help or anything in this area, I am just
a call away. Whether it is for you or
for someone else. I remember what you
have done for me. I remember what you
have done for us and this is our
opportunity to see what we can do."
I'm praying for you.
May God connect you.
I know that you should be connected to
everybody, but I'm praying a personal
prayer for you. May God connect you to a
Honestly, it is from my heart. If you
don't believe it, no problem. You can
say amen to the rest, the remaining
prayers that I will pray. But I'm
praying to from my heart. May God

God can call you into certain circles
using just one relationship. When I pray
that you'll be friends with a wealthy
man, it's not because of the money.
It is a realm of reality that one person
can bring you and everybody within that
level will begin to deal with you the
way that man dealt with you. This is the
advantage. I'm not saying you should go
around following wealthy people. It's
The easiest way to prosper is through
relationships. Write it down, please.
The easiest way to prosper financially
is by connection.
By connection.
Through relation. Please believe me. The
easiest way to prosper. There are people
who are not as smart.
There are people who are not as
knowledgeable. There are people who do
not know half the things that I'm
saying, but they are multi-billionaires
simply because of relationships. They
maintain relationships. They maintain
strategic connections. I think it was
Dr. Murdock who said that statistics
shows that everybody is only four people
away from his helper.
All over the world. The person God has
destined to help you, there is somebody
who knows somebody who knows somebody
who knows that person.
Life is as difficult as the
relationships that are missing in your
life. Let me say it again. Life will be
as difficult as the relationships that
are missing in your life. One more time.
Life will be as difficult as the
relationships that are missing in your
life. Relationships were designed by God
to close destiny gaps. And if there are
gaps in your destiny that relationships
have not closed, you will find out that
How
do you maximize relationships? One, by
praying that God brings the right people
to your life. Two,
Two,
by becoming a person of character so
that when God brings those people to
your life, they will not see you
as a cost to their destiny. Did you hear
what I said?
That you maximize relationships. Go and
get my message, Opening Destiny Doors
Through Relationships. I recommend it
highly. Opening Doors Through
Relationships. It's important.
I teach extensively there on how to
manage relationships.
The way you manage someone who does not
have money is different from the way you
manage somebody who has money. While
that is an uncomfortable truth, it is
The law of
If you forget anything I taught in this
discussion today and you remember this
one man, this one man of God, you will
be surprised that it is relationships
that will bring the partners who will
stand with you. Are we together? I know
people today who are doing great things
for the kingdom and they are not more
than three or four people that God just
connected them to. They just said, "Sir,
you just keep doing ministry with
integrity. We are the pillars, financial
pillars behind you.
We believe in this vision, we believe in
you, and for as long as we are alive,
we'll see to it that you and the vision
keeps making progress." So, you'll see
that they don't really do anything as
you will say, but there are strong
financial pillars that have been
maintained through relationships.
Don't find yourself insulting people,
insulting every great man, insulting
your uncles, insulting your aunties,
insulting someone whose help you need.
If you insult someone whose help you
need, including your boss, you will be
doing yourself a disservice. Do you know why?
why?
Make reference to my teachings, lessons
from an overcomer. Because
Because
in the world of the great, they are
largely surrounded by sycophants. Let me
teach you something.
The world of the great, most of the
subordinates around great people are
largely sycophants, especially in the
corporate world. So, everybody is trying
to market themselves as saints and the
way they do it is by tearing down
others. And if you become the one who
makes yourself a scapegoat by tearing
your superiors in the presence of your
contemporaries, when they get to your
superiors, they will use what you have
said as a ladder to climb and get favor
from them.
This is a secret most people don't know.
Because everybody is trying to win the
attention of the CEO. Everybody is
trying to win the attention of the
director, the GMD. And someone will say,
"Director, I need to tell you something.
I know I'm a junior staff, but please,
be careful with this lady."
She told me something
that Will you allow me say it? And the
Are we together?
Oh, this lady said this and that and
that and that. And the man says, "Really?
"Really?
Can you prove it?" Yes. All right,
that's okay. May God bless you.
Then the lady just comes, "Oh, sir, how
are you?" And says, "Let this be the
last time." What happened? And you see
people come and say, "Somebody who used
to like me before, he stopped liking
me." They had something you could not manage.
manage.
They will not tell you,
but you have betrayed trust, you have
betrayed something.
Are we together now? Yes.
The man called you and gave you $1,000
because he heard your mother was sick
and he said, "Take this $1,000. Go and
help mama, but be careful."
And you went around everybody, "If you
are doubting who the boss likes in this
office, I'm the one. Who else can hold
$1,000? The goodness of God through my
boss." And someone says, "Ah, but I just
told this man my own mother died, too."
And before you know it, the man will
hate you and make sure they bring you
out of that company. There are battles
that are unnecessary. Wisdom.
Wisdom.
So many believers have put themselves in
positions where they have lost favor
because they did not know how to manage people.
people.
You follow your boss to a meeting, a
board meeting where you see the who's
and who's there, and just because of the
privilege of his bringing you, you sit
down somewhere and hear a discussion
that you should never have heard. And
while you are hearing it, you bring out
your phone and you are recording and you
are snapping them and sending it to your
friends and say, "You can't believe I'm
in the presence of this guy. Can you imagine?"
imagine?"
Ah, bros, we'll talk, we'll talk later
on. Just And you are happy.
And before you know it, the unwise
person will now put it on social media
and say, "See what the Lord is doing to
And that's the end of it. I'm teaching
you wisdom.
Oh, who put this on social media? It's
so-so and so. Who did this? Who recorded
the conversation? Who did this and that?
It is that boy you brought. And
immediately, both you and your boss lose favor.
favor.
And because the man lost favor, he will
hate you. Even if he's your relative, he
will say, "Never come to my life again."
And may God help them to not see a false
prophet. You'll say, "I told you. This
person that you brought."
If any of you have made any mistake like

Someone calls you and tells you, "Listen,

You go around the estate with a video on

Some of you, when you come into the

the kinds of abuses of relationships
that go on in our world and even among
church people. They take advantage of
opportunities and they destroy their
relationships and destroy the
relationship of others because of carelessness.

As a principle, one of the things I do,
if I step into a place of great people,
generally, and someone wants to sow into
my life, usually, I would even let
sometimes my host look at this that this
man wants to do. And they say, "Oh, no,
no, no, no problem."
I am very protective of relationships
that I value because I know that it took
people a huge price to get to that
level. Don't disrespect their sacrifices
by introducing your carelessness to
destroy their relationships.
I will never go to another man's church,
for instance, and preach and collect
phone numbers of strategic people,
partners, and say, "Go and meet me later
on." No.
My job is to come and bless the people,
bless them with all my heart. Whatever
it is, if there is anything they bring,
I thank God for it and I'm on my way
going. Never abuse relationships. I will
repeat this again. Never abuse relationships.

usually, it is because of someone who

You lose relationships, you lose a lot
in your life. The easiest way, according
to scripture, I know to prosper, believe
me, is relationships.
There are people today, by the mercies
of God,
because of my connection to them, they
will never beg for bread again till they
see Jesus' face.
Relationships. That is the advantage.
There are children today that God
brought to my life. By reason of that
connection, I have vowed under God that
for as long as I'm alive, until these
children rise, grow, school, become
established, I will keep holding them
and their families financially. Relationships.
Hallelujah.
So, someone may not learn the 10
principles, 15 principles, may not go to
Yale and Oxford and Harvard. And God
says, "I want to fast-track your life."
And the one thing God does is to just
introduce you to a strategic
relationship that is equal to a 20-years
period of learning. Don't abuse it. With

up.
This one is a very big one. Pray in the
spirit in 1 minute.
Ecclesiastes chapter 11 and verse 2. >> [music]
>> [music]
>> Hallelujah. Now,
there is one key.
This, for many people who God has
started helping, is the major reason,
and I won't talk much about this, unfortunately,
unfortunately,
but I need to introduce you to it. The
major reason behind the financial up and
down of believers, especially those that
God has started helping, this secret
right here is what, if you do not
understand, you will never be wealthy.
Never ever be wealthy. This is what
turns you from a rich person to a
wealthy person. The Bible says, "Give a
portion to seven, and also to eight, for
thou knowest not what evil shall be upon
the earth." We'll look at it in a number
of versions. Give us NIV, then NLT, and
finally Good News, GNT. Give us NIV.
It says, "Give portions to seven and yes
to eight, for you do not know the
disaster that may come in the land."
Let's look at NLT.
It says, "Divide your investments among
many places,
for you know not what risks might lie
ahead." Can we? Yes, Good News. I like
this. Watch this now.
"Put your investments in several
places." Koinonia, wake up now. "Many
places even, because you never know what
kind of bad luck you are going to have
in this world." Look up.
The only way money grows, and the only
way money multiplies, is through
investments. Write it down.
The only way money grows, and the only
way money multiplies, is through
investments. If you do not understand
Unfortunately, these kinds of platforms
don't give us the liberty, because you
are speaking with people, and because
you are speaking on financially related
subjects, and with it comes many, many
things, unfortunately. But let me tell
you this.
You must learn and master investments
if you want to be wealthy.
A job can give you a
You can have salary saved with time and
have some money.
Providing value, like I taught you, can
connect you to a clientele, and all
together, they can give you some money.
Some of us, as I'm speaking to you now,
it goes It's not like God has not been
faithful. There is something lying
there, but what to do with it is what
most people do not know. It's the reason
why they keep going up and keep going
down. There is nobody who is sustainably
wealthy on earth, whether in the secular
or in the church. There is no ministry,
listen carefully, that is sustainably
wealthy on earth that has ignored investments.
investments. No.
No.
Those days, when we were growing, most
of the churches in the north, beyond
having their assemblies, almost all of
them had schools, they had hospitals,
they had retreat centers. And for a long
time, I I didn't know why they had to do
that. That everywhere the churches were
founded within the states, with all due
respect, you also see this in many, many
what we call our orthodox circles. You
will see schools, you will see
restaurants, you will see hospitals, and
you are wondering why these things have
to be there. Eventually, I will
understand that the truth is that,
please listen,
in ministry today, just depending on
tithes and offerings will leave you
begging forever. COVID taught many
people a lesson. As wonderful and tight
as tithes and offerings are, people are
growing, and it takes [music] time for
people to grow. It takes time for the
word of God to speak over their lives.
It's the reason why many sincere
laborers in the kingdom are going
through a lot of financial tension.
There are many people who God has been
faithful. They collect salaries,
200,000, 500,000, a million plus for 10
years. They have money stashed in the
bank for years, 10 years, 15 years. That
money is there. Because they do not
understand investments, it does not
grow. Unfortunately,
I submit to you that the understanding
of investments for the average African,
the average Nigerian, and the average
church person is very, very small. It's
the reason why people who part away with
their money making poor investment
decisions. It's the reason why many
people are in financial troubles this
moment as I speak, because they have to
make do with whatever information is
available, and most of it is full of all
kinds of things, and people get into all
kinds of trouble.
But rest your mind on this, that when
God shows you faithfulness financially,
your next project is to settle down and
learn everything you can on investments.
Learn it. Learn it. Learn it. By the
time you create systems, they are called,
called,
you have entered a realm called oceanic
wealth. It's a realm that the Bible
calls the wealthy place. You see that now.
Apply to be part of School of Ministry
next year, hopefully. You have a chance
to learn in more detail
a few things about finances,
investments. Most believers,
I wish I had the liberty to talk a lot
more on investments, but this is
important. Have this at the back of your
mind. The believer who cannot invest,
who does not know how to invest, is the
believer who cannot perpetuate wealth.
For many reasons, there's no liberty to
teach this in most detail in church,
because financial issues are very
delicate issues, and you are talking to
a global audience. Are we together? And
there has to be disclaimers when you
teach on finances, because if people act
on your financial advice and get into
trouble, you can land in court, they can
sue you. So, because of that, preachers
are not at liberty, even when they know
how to guide.
They are not at liberty to be elaborate
beyond these kinds of states. But I'm
just telling you, go and read up on
investments. And let me give you a
strong advice. Never release your money
until you understand what you are doing.
Never. It's better to keep the money
there and let it not grow.
Don't carry your money and just throw
around because you hear that this is
happening, that is happening. Believers,
again, are careless people. Just because
someone talks to you and is crying does
Investments.
There are business people today who
don't invest. There are people who have
had 10 million lying down for years.
They've not been able to invest. 100
million naira is lying there. They don't
invest. Whereas somebody, do you know in
Abuja here, just a few years ago, there
were properties that were going lands
for 400,000,
a million naira. There are people who
carry 10 million and bought 10. Now, one
of those properties is not less than 60
million or 100 million. Say investments.
And it's not like they were really very
smart. They just were able to go ahead
of time and to do that. >> [music]
>> [music]
>> There are some parents today they did
not have financial intelligence, but the
one thing they did was to be able to go
and buy some serious plots of land and
they kept it.
They bought some of those lands for less
than 100,000, even in your Abuja here.
And some of those lands right now are in
the hundreds of millions. And all the
person would do is to just sell one and
train his whole children to school.
Give a portion to seven, yea to eight.
For you do not know
the calamity or the disaster that shall
come upon the earth.
I found this secret in my own life and I
prayed and studied everything I could study
study
because I do not want to live a life of
compromise because of finances.
I have told you and I stand before the
God of heaven. I have never preached for
money and I will never preach the gospel
because of money. God has blessed me
through preaching. I cannot deny that.
God sent me to speak to someone because
I will be sharing with you hopefully in
the last service. I'm not a prophet of
doom and I I I as I respect God and I
respect myself and I respect your trust
for me. So, if I stand here and I tell
you things, especially I'm prophesying,
I make sure that I know what I'm saying.
I saw something about next year that
will make you need this message because
what I saw is going to be a time of
turbulence and serious challenge for believers.
My teaching grace is enough for me like
that. I mustn't prophesy.
But if I open my mouth and I tell you
something, you just believe it.
So, don't ignore when you see God bring
things like this, he's redeeming the
future. There is something he has seen.
You see that now?
I saw many many many people folding
their companies and people, [music] both
father and mother, losing jobs at the
prime, not even knowing what to do.
PTA meetings happening and teachers are
saying you cannot drive our children.
Why don't you structure the payment?
When I saw that thing, my heart I said,
"God, what is the meaning of this?"
When God shows things like this, it's
not to put fear,
but he's showing it so that believers
can be prepared. Now, you have something
on ground. God has shown you mercy.
I wish I had the time I would have
taught you on financial carelessness.
There are people who are going to spend
everything God gave them this December
and then suffer by January.
Hear this servant of God, don't. There
is nowhere written in the Bible that if
you don't eat cow and chicken,
you will not commemorate the birth of Jesus.
Jesus.
Live a modest and a decent life within
your means. Are we together now?

especially those that the year has been
rough, there is a mindset people have
that once it is Christmas, burn
everything you have. Finish all the
money. Live a fake and a false life.
Carry your family and go around the
world and then return back and suffer.
That's not a wise bargain.
For someone, God is helping you to now
begin to be frugal.
Another thing I would have taught about
is is living a fake life. One of the
major reasons a fake life is very
expensive. Write it down.
A fake life is very expensive. [music]
It takes so much to fund a fake life.
And once you start, you must maintain it.

A fake life is very expensive. If you
are not there, you are not there. You
can start gradually with the dignity of
[music] kingdom integrity.
A fake life is expensive. Don't try to
buy a car that is not yet your level.
Don't try to go and live in a house that
is not yet your level. You are living in
a house that you are owing 3 years rent
now. You can't pay back. It's a sign you
are not yet there. Get out of that place
and look for a decent place. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
There are some of us who do not yet have
the means to start gathering people and
celebrating elaborate birthdays,
elaborate occasions. No. Be patient. God
is bringing you there. Even for schools,
as much as I would want you to educate
your children at the highest level, you
must be wise and keep them within your
budget. Find the best school that your
budget can afford. If your child is on
scholarship, that is fine. Otherwise,
find the budget
the school that your budget can afford.
But by all means, Koinonia, please hear me.

Great disaster is going to befall many.
And there are many who will begin to tow
the corridors of compromise because of
this finance thing. I shall not want is
not just a prophetic declaration. It is
a declaration that comes with responsibilities.

There are five kinds of investments you
must make in your life. Number one is
your spiritual investment.
Number two, investment in your mind. Let
me give you this and then we'll wrap up.
Five kinds of investment.
Number one, your spiritual investment.
When I talk of investments, I'm not just
talking of putting money. Your
relationship with Jesus is a potent
investment that has returns, even
financial returns. Number two, mental
investments. What you store in your mind
is there. You don't need to refrigerate
it. You don't need to warm it. It is
there and will always be ready to be
delivered when needed. Number three,
invest in your health
and your well-being. It's an investment.

It's often said that people deteriorate
their health to make money, then they

in your health and your wellness. Number
four, invest in strategic relationships.

I shared a story in Ghana that I want to
A wealthy man had a son.
He had a son
and this son
lived a very careless and a riotous life
and the man got sad and said, "I will
never give you anything
of my estate." And he called the servant
and he told the servant, "You have been
a well-behaved person. I give you the
liberty to choose anything you want to
choose." And the servant chose the
estates, chose the cars, chose some of
the businesses and chose everything. And
while he was choosing, the man was
touched with compassion. And then he
said, "Are you done choosing?" The
servant said, "Yes." Then he looked at
his son. He said, "For mercy's sake, I
will allow you to choose only one thing
and get out of my way."
And the son said, "I choose the servant."
Did you get the story?
I choose
What a wise boy.
I choose the servant means that I chose
the car the servant chose. I chose the
house that belongs to the servant. Everything.
Why am I saying this?
There are certain things when you find,
you have found other things, too. Relationships.
Relationships.
There are certain things when you find,
you have found all other things. There
are things that you truly may not need
to bother about again when you get the
majors in life because the majors
control the minors. For instance, your
relationship with Jesus. For instance,
your relationship with men. For
instance, the power of the Holy Ghost.
That song, power to prosper, we are
going to sing it once, twice, and then I
will pray [music] for you.
That the hand of God
will rest upon your head.
The hand of God will rest upon [music]
