There is a Time

[0:00] Welcome. You are about to listen to a destiny-changing message preached by Pastor David at Karis Phase 2. Karis Phase 2 is our revival-seeking youth ministry where young people are coming to know Jesus Christ.

[0:16] Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God. Be blessed as you listen. Alright, let's get into God's Word. Ecclesiastes chapter 3.

[0:32] This is anniversary message. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. True?

[0:45] A time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to break down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh.

[0:57] A time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together. A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.

[1:09] A time to get and a time to lose. A time to keep and a time to cast away. A time to rend and a time to sow. A time to keep and a time to keep and a time to speak.

[1:22] A time to laugh and a time to hate. A time of war and a time of peace. What profit has he that worketh in that wherein he libereth?

[1:38] I have seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He has made everything beautiful in his time.

[1:52] Also he has set the world in their hearts. So that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

[2:08] I know that there is no good in them. But for a man to rejoice and to do good in his life. Verse 13.

[2:22] And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor. It is the gift of God.

[2:33] I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever. Nothing can be put to it nor anything taken from it.

[2:45] And God doeth it that men should fear before him. That which has been is now. And that which is to be has already been.

[2:59] And God requireth that which is past. Excuse me. 16. And moreover, I saw another son, the place of judgment, that the wicked was there.

[3:09] And the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. That's a very interesting text. I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked.

[3:23] For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. I said in my heart concerning the estates of the sons of men.

[3:34] That God might manifest them. And that they might see that they themselves are beasts. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts.

[3:48] Even one thing befalleth them. As the one dieth, so die the other. Wow.

[4:00] Yea, they have all one breath. So that a man has no preeminence above the beast. For all is vanity. All go to one place.

[4:13] All are of the dust. And all tend to the dust. Here ends the reading of God's way. Very interesting text. It's really talking about time.

[4:28] Time was created by God. He sits, God sits outside of time. Created time. Anything that has a beginning has an end.

[4:43] That's time. When you hear beginning, you're talking about time. That's why the Bible starts with in the beginning. Because there was a beginning. Those who say the earth is seven billion years.

[4:56] Six billion years. This, whatever, whatever you say, there was a beginning. Now, let me just go off and just say this.

[5:09] When God made Adam, how old was Adam when God created him? Three weeks old? Not three weeks old? Or maybe a day old?

[5:21] Four years old? Four years old? So, Adam was made a full-grown man. A full-grown man. And when Eve was brought to Adam, he could marry her straight away.

[5:36] Yes. Full-grown woman. And the gold in the land, if you study met, mythology might tell you how long it might take for gold to form and all that, but there was gold.

[5:56] When God created the first period of people being on earth, there was gold. So let's say scientists say it takes, or researchers come discover that it takes a thousand years for gold to be formed.

[6:14] Just as an illustration. When God did the guardian of Eden, there was already gold there. And obviously it didn't take a thousand years for that one. It took the day God said, let there be.

[6:26] Do you understand what I'm saying? Let there be. So later on when scientists check, because of the laws of nature, they will find out, let's say gold, it takes a thousand years for gold to be formed.

[6:38] When they check that gold, which was in the garden of Eden, it will still meet the qualities of gold. So it will look like it takes a thousand years for it to be formed. But really it was, and it showed up.

[6:53] You see, when you watch some of these movies, like films and stories and the genie, I want a car. Then the car came. Do you think it took that long to make that?

[7:04] It just... Why? Because there was a supernatural power involved in making it happen. But when you check the car, it has an engine, it has everything, it has everything.

[7:15] How long does it take to make a car? Let's say eight weeks. This one was not eight weeks. But when you check it, it will take still, it will look like the same eight weeks. But there is a supernatural element that got involved.

[7:27] And so what I'm trying to say is, it will look like the earth is 30 million years old. It is not. It is... How old is the earth?

[7:38] What the Bible says it is, it is. But they have fossil signs. God created Adam a full grown man. Why can't he create the earth already full mature?

[7:53] Well, but there's time for everything. One of the scriptures I really like, I like my... One of my favorite scriptures in Galatians chapter four, verse four. Carol's time is spoken about.

[8:04] Somebody say time. Time. Say time. Time. It says that, but when the fullness of time had come. Let's read that first line together. Let's go. But when the fullness of time had come.

[8:16] Please do me a favor by reading it louder. But when the fullness of time had come. For the last time, even louder. But when the fullness of time had come. Say fullness of time.

[8:26] Fullness of time. The Greek word is kairos time. Kairos. Kairos. We have kairos.

[8:38] We have eon. And we have chronos. How many of you know chronology?

[8:49] What does it mean? What does it mean of chronology? Sequence. Based on happenings of time. So this happened and then this happened. So when you came this morning, at eight, you woke up.

[9:04] Nine, you finished bathing. Between nine and ten, you finished doing your makeup. Some of you, when I look at the way you look beautiful, it looks like two days to do your hair. Or your makeup.

[9:16] So chronology. All right. Chronology. Chronologically. So chronos has to do with physical sequence of time. And then when you see eon, eon has to do with an age.

[9:30] A season. So over the ages. We are in a one age. And some people were, let's assume, ice age. The stone ages.

[9:42] The bronze age. The cave. The time that cavemen, they are age. So it's not like 2 a.m., 3 a.m. No, no. That's chronos. So chronometer is something to measure.

[9:55] Your watch is a chronometer. Yeah. It just tells you the movement, the sequential movement of time. Whilst eon has to do with over a period of time.

[10:09] And then we have kairos. Kairos is like when a woman tells you, I'm in the time of my month. Or in the time of the, my time of the month.

[10:20] Who does have time in that month? No, but she's meaning something. Because she said, no, no, no. This time is not good for me. It's not a good time.

[10:34] Why not? Because my time. That other time was okay, but this time. Because then that is a certain time for action. When she tells you, I'm in the time of my month, she's trying to say, this is the time the eggs that are not used in my body are discharged.

[10:51] And it happens once a month. Twelve times regularly, normally, and a normal second. Twelve times a year. The number twelve is an interesting number.

[11:02] Today as we read, Acts chapter 19, it talks about how they were about twelve in number. Acts chapter 19, verse seven. Those who received the Holy Ghost, they were about twelve.

[11:12] Jesus' disciples were twelve. So there's something about twelve hours in a day, and then twelve hours in the night. Twelve months in a year. The tree of life had twelve fruits it bears.

[11:29] So twelve, twelve, twelve. Twelve tribes of Israel. Very interesting. Well, so every woman, under normal circumstances, when everything is okay, is supposed to have twelve times.

[11:45] or maybe give and take thirteen times. You call it four weeks. Four weeks. So give and take. But really, it's once a month.

[11:59] Right? Yes. He said, it's my time. Because that time, we are talking about a time for something to happen. And it's called Kairos time, the right time for something to happen.

[12:12] So in Galatians chapter four, verse four, it says that, it says that, and when fullness, that's Kairos time. Say fullness of time. Fullness of time.

[12:23] Say it again, please. Fullness of time. How many of you are in uni? Let me see, some of you. Oh, so quite a few of you are not in uni.

[12:35] Oh. How many of you are hoping to graduate? Are going to graduate anyway? Yeah. Wow. You are in uni. When do you finish?

[12:46] Like how many more years? Two more years. Two more years. Why are you not a doctor? Because there's not a time. It's a process. You have to go through a process and then when the appropriate time comes, once you have, you've taken this book, you've taken this book, you've done this, you've done this, you've written the exam, you've been given that, you have been given that, you have been awarded this, then now.

[13:09] So fullness of time. In everything important in life, everything important in life must meet the requirements of time. Time in.

[13:22] This is not time for a boyfriend, please. There's no time for a girlfriend, please. Timing. If you get the timing wrong, you will miss destiny.

[13:37] He said there's time to kill, there's time to give life. There's time to be born, there's time to die. Why are you using the time for birth as time of death?

[13:49] There's time to plant, and there's time to pluck up. There's time. So when it is time to plant and you are looking for what to pluck up, you are making a mistake in life. Time.

[14:01] Somebody say time. Time. Say time. Time. And then verse 11 says that in his time, he makes, he made everything nice, beautiful in his time.

[14:12] Amen. When things fall in place, when you take your time and you do things at the right time, it's beautiful. Absolutely.

[14:22] So, there's time for everything. Okay, can I tell you something? You are looking at my suit.

[14:39] Carries is not just 20. Carries is 20 years, okay? You. What is that? This thing, I'm just, I'm wearing 20 years.

[14:50] This is 20 years. Wow. I didn't become a pastor the day Carries started. I've been doing all I, nothing else, and only ministry since 1995.

[15:02] Wow. Full time. I've been doing ministry longer than many people's parents have been doing their career. Wow. If that is a medical doctor, for how long?

[15:16] 1995. 2005, 10 years. 2015, 20 years. And then, 2025, 30 years, so minus two.

[15:27] 20 years. Again, I can't say. Yeah, calculation. 28 years of not doing anything but church work. Wow. Church work. Preaching.

[15:38] 28 years, all my life. I've been doing, I tell you, I've been doing it longer than many of you whose families, professionals in your family life, apart from your granddad. Wow.

[15:48] Wow. Do you know something? I met a man, he's in his 60s, he has retired. Last week, he has retired. He's been doing past time, pastoral work.

[15:59] He said, now he's going to do free time. He's retired, 60. I've been doing, I have an advantage. I've been doing 28 years. So, can you imagine, now that will be 50. When I'm 60, I'll be doing it for 38 years.

[16:12] Wow. He's 60, 38 years, now he's going to start. So, what I'm trying to say is, you see a suit, this is 28 years of full time, not Christian life, because I've been Christian for about 30, 32 years.

[16:32] Full time ministry. How many of you know that's a long time? Yeah. So, what I'm trying to say is, there's time to want to be the one to be holding the mic for people to be screaming.

[16:44] There's time. There's time. There's a problem. Why do you go to university, you've enrolled, you've accepted for the medical school. After first week of lecture, you want to go to theater, go and start surgery.

[17:00] Hey, you kill people. Take your time. Even good hairdressers have been doing it for a while. Yeah.

[17:11] If your hairdresser is good, it's not only talent. Talent matters, but practice. Somebody who is talented, but has not been practicing, will make some mistakes that experience will make.

[17:25] Yeah. Wow. That's true. Damn, sometimes when God has to prepare you and use you for something, he has to wait for a certain time, because you are still under construction.

[17:38] Wow. So, in Luke chapter 1, verse 80, I like that. John the Baptist was the greatest of all prophets. Great prophet.

[17:51] John the Baptist, so the child grew, let's read it out, let's go. So the child grew and became strong in the spirit and was in the desert until the day of the manifestation.

[18:04] The child grew and became what? Strong. Strong in the spirit. He's going to be a prophet. Oh, it looks like what you require is to be strong in the spirit. But he was, in spite of the fact that he was strong in the spirit, God still kept him in the desert.

[18:21] Some of us can't wait to be seen. Every little thing in your life, especially those who are always on social media telling everybody about this, what you have achieved, and you don't have anything under your belt.

[18:37] Sometimes, you have to wait till God is ready to show you forth. timing. John the Baptist, the greatest prophet, was in the desert.

[18:54] John the Baptist stayed in the desert until God was ready to show him forth to Israel. The problem is, I want to, do you know I'm still teaching this?

[19:08] I'm talking about time. Carries 20 years. I want you to know how time can actually determine the advantage you have in life.

[19:25] He said, I returned under the heavens. He said, I returned and I saw under the heavens that the rest, the rest is not chapter 9. Sorry, just chapter 9 from verse 11.

[19:36] He said, I returned. I returned and saw under the sun. Watch. If you come across under the sun in Ecclesiastes, it means among human life. Within time.

[19:48] God lives outside of time. So, under the sun talks about on this earth. Whilst we are on this earth, that's how things operate. There's a way things operate on this earth. There's a way things operate.

[20:01] So, if you start, oh, let's say, instead of standing, you are praying. all demons who've run away from you, but you attract a friend called failure.

[20:23] So, he said, I returned and saw under the sun that the rest is not to the sweet. I thought, it's only one. Those who are very fast who win the race said, no, no, no, no, no.

[20:36] They didn't say, okay, you are fast, so come and run the race so you can win it. No, the race was not set to the swift. Olympics, sometimes you don't even know who is going to be the fastest.

[20:49] They said, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. You think that those who are strong will always win. No. He said, the battle is not to those who look strong, or the strong, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill.

[21:13] So that means that sometimes when there's a certain skill in place, you tend to attract favor. When there's a certain understanding in place, you tend to attract riches. When there's a certain wisdom in place, you tend to not to lack material things or food.

[21:29] Call these things answer to. So material things or material benefits, earthly benefits, physical things, answer to wisdom. The wiser you are, the more you will not be in luck.

[21:42] Anyone who has been in luck for a long time is not wise. It's not wise. People who are in luck, and they always want others to be responsible for who they are supposed to be in life.

[21:55] If you are still in luck, a certain understanding or wisdom is missing. Buckle down. Why are you failing in uni?

[22:08] Playing video games, video games, video games, video games, video games, video games, video games. Why? Always on your phone, chatting with people.

[22:25] Who only responds to you when they don't have anything to do? Can't you see you are wasting away?

[22:36] Because there's time for everything. The time you were supposed to be using to be building yourself from inside, you are spending to polish yourself from outside.

[22:47] Girl, I'm talking to you. Some people ruin their lives by acting prematurely. Entering a relationship prematurely.

[23:00] Leaving school prematurely. Starting earning money prematurely. Entering a relationship prematurely. You never get into any relationship.

[23:12] Not now. Not now. You see guys, they like you. Guys like girls. It means they are healthy. Guys like girls.

[23:25] And nothing can change it. Guys, am I speaking the truth? What do guys like?

[23:38] Girls! What do guys like? Girls! Girls! But you are not girls. You are a girl. girls. So you think they like just you.

[23:54] No. It's girls. It's girls. So you are just one of the many.

[24:08] Even your sister and your cousin. Listen. How many of you have ever liked a lady and you liked her sister too or her cousin too?

[24:26] No, no, I'm not saying. Listen, listen. Okay. How many of you guys have ever kind of you had a crush on a lady and you had a crush on her cousin too?

[24:37] You felt, wow, this girl, this house, the girls are nice. Look at this one. This family, I like this one too. How many of you have heard? Because guys like girls.

[24:51] And you, the single girl, you think guys like you. So you do everything in your life for that. You are in a miserable, on a miserable track.

[25:05] You are on a path to misery. By the time you are 35, you are tired. You are tired. You say, oh, man, all boys are trash.

[25:23] There's time for everything. Some of us, my problem is that you are not thinking ahead. So you think life is all about how you feel today.

[25:35] It's a big error in life. That's what I'm trying to communicate. You think life is all about how you feel today and what's happening around you today. No, it's a mistake. Carriage has been through different phases.

[25:48] Different phases. There are some phases when you get there, it looks like there's no hope. What's going on? I'll tell you something. Almost every pastor who has been through, most, not all, but most pastors, especially if you are leading a church in United Kingdom, United Kingdom, in a lot of places, value less frustrated, Europe, United Kingdom, European, if you are leading a church, there will be definitely times where after church you are very low and down.

[26:19] After church, you are so down. You are so down. You are so discouraged because you think this thing is discouraging. I've felt it several times.

[26:32] Those are stages. Because of that, I can't say, let me go and then follow some of these people who use tricks. See, that's the problem. That's the problem.

[26:43] You want shortcuts and you end up doing shortcuts. Short shortcuts. The greatest and surest path to success is being on the right path.

[26:58] If you are on the right path and you don't leave the path and you keep going, don't stop. If you catch hell, don't hold it. If you are going through hell, don't stop.

[27:09] Just keep going. Go ahead. If you are on the right path and you keep going, you will never be stranded in life. Or you will never fail woefully.

[27:21] If you are on the right path, you keep going, you keep going, you keep going. Discouragement will come. All kinds of things will be thrown out at you. discouragement, disloyalty, insults, people who you thought were your allies who turn against you.

[27:37] All kinds of things. It's part of life. How many of you have been ever betrayed? Some of you have never been betrayed. Oh, wow. That means that, you see, if you get betrayed at an early age, it builds the immune system.

[27:53] So it helps you too. But if you're at your age and you haven't been betrayed, I really feel sorry, because if you have been caught certain sicknesses, your immune system doesn't get developed.

[28:06] So then, if you have been betrayed before by your classmate to the teacher, in year seven, and it happened again in year nine, and then year nine, twice, it begins to build, you begin to realize that you can't trust everybody.

[28:27] If you don't learn that early, you might die early. You might die of betrayal or heartbreak at an age where your energy can't take it.

[28:41] But when you're a pastor, there are several times you'll feel lonely. There are several times you'll feel down.

[28:52] At a certain stage. Nowadays, there's not one day, church is over. I don't remember the last time. Church is over and I'm down. I don't remember the last time.

[29:08] I'm talking about years before the revival. Years. That was the idea. Now, I've crossed that stage after church.

[29:19] People who don't even turn up, I'm not easy, quick to notice. church is working. God is moving in the church.

[29:33] But there was a stage, you see me like this, you won't think I've been through loneliness before. When I say loneliness, you know, times where you feel like, let me use the word aloneness. You feel like you are just alone.

[29:47] Sometimes just me and my wife, you feel like you don't really have any support. But there is a face. It's a face. Don't begin to attack people.

[29:58] Don't begin to hate people. Never be hateful in life because of what you have been through. Because when you are hateful, you will be grounded in life. No.

[30:10] Never be bitter in life. If you are bitter in life, you can never get better than where you are. life can throw some wicked, unfair things against you.

[30:27] But please, it's your job to work on yourself. I will never be bitter. Girls, ladies, are you listening to me? Because ladies can be easily vulnerable to betrayal by friends with regard to their man.

[30:42] man. And sometimes, when you are young, you tend to trust people more. Trust people with your destinies.

[30:56] And they stab you on the back. And sometimes, once it's manageable, twice it's getting bad, thrice it's worse. And so you are damaged and you are so bitter.

[31:08] Listen, that's not the problem. But your bitterness is where your problems have started. You are never likely to get better in any relationship because of bitterness.

[31:21] We are living in a society which operates on the law of fairness. It's very dangerous. Everything is fair. It's not fair. It's not fair. They give you food to share with you.

[31:33] Your sister bought food and she gave you some. And she didn't give you a lot. You are saying it's not fair. She should have given you more. It's not fair.

[31:45] It's not fair. It's not fair. Look at the way the people are suffering over there. It's not fair. Please. So many people are growing thinking that life is generally fair and must be fair.

[32:01] Life, is it fair that birds eat worms? But that's the only way they can survive. They have to eat. The ecosystem, something is feeding or something.

[32:13] When you live your life based on what needs to be fair, this hasn't been fair, this hasn't been fair, this hasn't been fair, this hasn't been fair, you know what to do.

[32:25] You know what you do. This hasn't been fair, this hasn't been fair, this hasn't been fair. When you live your life like that, it just builds the momentum for bitterness. And when you are bitter, you will never be better.

[32:41] life never gets better for bitter people so you see where your problem started that boy who broke your heart see where your problem started that girl who broke your heart it has wounded you and sometimes you can't get over it and it has made you reclusive it has made you very angry most of the boys that people say are bad boys gang most of them is because of bitterness and anger it's not that they are bad people but what they've been through is not fair and there's bitterness and sometimes the bitterness grows bitterness grows and when they see this happening here they see this happening here and then they see a policeman treating another guy like that ah because a philosophy is being built I had a guy a preacher say something which was quite true which has really blessed me

[33:47] I mean he said he said Satan operates on a system or let me put it in he said God the deliverance God can give to you has a lot to do with a certain understanding or information or revelation you have in the same way Satan cannot oppress you until he keeps you believing in something for instance for instance I am a prophet okay watch this watch this and I come and say God says God is speaking to me that is going to help you so just stay focused on your career or your education cut off from all all the battles you will even listen to him because now Satan's job to keep you in bondage is to make you hear the negative that all these prophets they are liars they are liars so as long as you retain that mindset so Satan's job is to send demons to reinforce that mindset that after I don't need church after I'm tired

[34:52] I don't need church Satan has to enforce that mindset to keep you in bondage are you getting what I'm saying it's a certain mindset he will enforce so that he can keep you bound wow wow Jesus that's why it's not everything you expose yourself to it's very important to understand these things some of us here there's a there's a demon against marriage in your background wow now you come to church you are hearing God's word as long as certain mindset does not change there's no way you can have a good marriage so demons are responsible but they are using your understanding what you know Satan is using your mindset to keep you in bondage wow wow wow that's why teachings are so important wow yeah the demons will convince you that what is education some of you have said what's education

[35:59] I don't need school I don't need school you don't have to go to school to break through you don't need any degree you see how better has your life gotten three years ago since you said you don't need degree look at the number of degrees you have accumulated so that demon of lack of progress in your family he has sought this mindset he has allowed your friends to reinforce that education is not necessary education you go to school it doesn't matter you don't break through nothing you can break through just try and do some dodgy deal so that mindset that's a prison mindset you know that inside you and demons now can go on holiday because as long as you have that mindset a demon doesn't have to bother that mindset has kept you in prison has blocked your destiny so when the pastor is going to do the difference for you

[37:00] I break that demon he's wasting his time too he's wasting his time because the demon has sat somewhere he's not working at the moment it's a setting it's a setting it's a setting in Romans chapter 12 verse 1 and 2 be ye transformed Jesus the way you think will determine how in prison you'll be be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind your mindset must change your mindset about women must change your mindset about men must change your mindset about education must change your mindset certainly about sex must change and your mindset about fast money must change there's time there's time for everything and there's there are times you don't have to focus on making money quickly no that's not time for making money especially those who want to do ministry never do ministry because you think it will give you money second case chapter 5 verse 26 he said then he said he to him did my heart not go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you is it time to receive money

[38:11] I am the prophet Nehman came to me he said I'm suffering leprosy and I'm told that you are anointed if you can pray for me for this leprosy to be healed I'll be happy my kings I should come to your king and the man of God said come I'll pray for you and the Syrian general he came but the prophet didn't see he said tell him I don't want to have to see him it's just information and instruction tell him to go into the Jordan dip himself seven times that's all that's all leprosy is a lifetime sickness he said tell him just go into the Jordan one two it's even easier than press apps three four five six seven then he flipped who does he think I am look we have better rivers in our town a banner a banner and a papper better rivers

[40:16] God to work on you some of you maybe you are not familiar but you can tell we are very happy people here I'm the chief of them I'm so happy I'm so happy so he said I can't go and wash there so whilst he was going the servant the servant said I think this is common sense but my master hasn't noticed because of his ego if he had told you to do something wild you would have done it but this is simple he said deep in the water why don't you just do it if the prophet had told you to do something great would you not have done it how much more than when he says wash and be clean that's all he hasn't said it is complex he said watch this guy watch this girl this boyfriend thing watch it go and do some education that's all simple close the black world tunnel simple compare the maker dot com simple if he has said something very wild wouldn't you have done it wash and be clean so he said

[41:31] I think all right so he went down and when he washed seven times first time the lord was there this guy if he doesn't change fourth fifth sixth see I know that this guy is not a serious guy he's not a serious guy all right you let me finish the seven times he dipped seven hey hey that's a man of God please can you take me back to him he brought money he brought stuff gold when he went tell him I've come the thing is God I want to honor him even a Syrian knows that you have to honor people who are being blessing to he said he said I want to honor him I want to honor him and the man of

[42:32] God said tell him he should take it I'm not interested I'm not interested once he was taking the servant said this thing balanciaga should go like that Gucci loafers Hermes bag beckin bag he should take the beckin bag he should take the Rolex away so he said my master is making a mistake pastor is making a mistake today he said pastor is making a mistake so Giavi the servant he looked and said my master has spared this while not receiving from his hands what he brought but as the Lord leaves

[43:36] I will run after him listen to his he said my master so Giazi he said is it time he said my master has spared the the one you are understanding you think you can make a decision better than him in this ministry he can't correct you he gave an instruction you are doing the contrary because you think this time pastor didn't get it right 25 years of experience talking 30 years of experience talking don't underestimate it my master has made a mistake so he said well I will after him so Giazi pursued Neymar when he saw him running after him

[44:38] Giazi stopped the child he said is everything okay my master has had some business said indeed just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim please give them a talent of silver and just give some of the stuff he went to lie and he collected the stuff so the guy said take more so Neymar said please take two talents and he edged him and bound two talents of silver in two bags with two changes of garments and handed them to the two of his servants and they carried them ahead of him when he came to the citadel he took them from the hand and stored them away in the house then he left the men he let the men go and they departed so he had people who were carrying it for him security office armor berries armor berries armor berries armor berries some people you like to behave like you're a pastor anyway time so he went and stood before master

[46:05] Elisha and said where did you go Gehazi and he said oh your servant did not go anywhere two things he said that's his master already lying to him number two his master was a prophet you don't fear God that's why you're lying to your pastor you don't fear God I don't know what you're talking about really and you're coming for me to pray for you anyway so he said then he said to him did my heart did not my heart go with you when the man took a turn back from his chariot to meet you is it time that means that a time is coming when this thing would have come to you the church is the pillar and the grounds of the truth society doesn't have the truth it doesn't matter how many lectures society have if they don't have the word of

[47:19] God 1st Timothy chapter 3 verse 15 but if I delay I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God which is what the church of the living God is the house of God the church is the house of God is the pillar and the ground of the truth the pillar and the ground of the truth so that's the church so we owe society the truth that's why I'm saying some of the things I'm saying I owe most young people in this country especially those from underprivileged backgrounds I owe you telling the truth that get yourself some degrees because the system will work against you the system can't work heavily against people who have degrees that matter your earning is not some people they are earning income is not determined by their qualification because of their family background but some of us majority of us you are earning you see if you don't take this education thing serious in the next 20 years 25 years 30 years you see your friends around away hide because you are so backward you are struggling your children are not happy you can't go to holidays if you are going on holidays you need government funding so you are restricted in how you can live your life but guess what there are people who are top surgeons and they work two days a week and they earn more than someone can earn in six months it matters consultants but you can't just become there you get there it takes and some of us we need to fight harder and what is even an error in life is some of us who are quite academic you are good academically who stopped you who bewitched you to stop studying who has bewitched you you are good academically the demons have done a good job they fought you and you gave up it so it doesn't matter but telling you that doesn't matter then you meet a pastor who doesn't only cast out demons by helping people to be transformed by the renewing the man the way you think about money must change the way you think about education does change the way you think about the government must change the way you think about girls must change the way you about boys must change

[50:18] If boysész you can't change you are likely to make a lot of errors in your life. You must change. I just don't owe you praying for you.

[50:31] I command a demon to go. Yes, that is the easier part of the job. But the changing of your mind is the harder part of the job. There is time to sit down and receive instructions.

[50:48] Instructions, instructions. As you keep hearing and hearing and hearing, one, faith is growing. But it's not only faith that is growing. You are changing without realizing.

[51:01] You are changing radically. And some of you, this is so beautiful what I'm about to say. It's so beautiful. When you marry, maybe marriage has not been, good marriage has never been modeled to you.

[51:11] Because you never had the privilege of having it in your background. Maybe. But some of you, after hearing and hearing and hearing, when you marry, that's when you realize that. You are such a wonderful wife.

[51:22] You are such a wonderful husband. You never even knew it. But because of the teachings you've been hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing, you have changed without realizing you have changed. In the same way, if you keep hearing the wrong things, hearing the wrong things, hearing the wrong, most people who do dangerous things in life is who they have been listening to.

[51:42] Who told you that who speaks to you doesn't matter? In the same way, some of you, the only voice you know is Hollywood. No wonder your life is so godless. So godless.

[51:55] Dry ass bone. Because all your thinking systems are on the platform of what Hollywood has to say. And what pop stars say.

[52:05] So your life is godless. Godless. No wonder when preaching is going on, you are sleeping. No wonder you get so bored. This church thing.

[52:16] This church thing. This church thing. This church thing. Keep getting bored. Now the point I'm trying to make, really, is that there's time for everything. Watch this. And it says that, is this time to go for money?

[52:27] Is this time to go for this? So that means that if you go for some things prematurely, you damage your chances in life. Yeah. Some people wouldn't have been in prison if they have not run after money prematurely.

[52:45] There's time for everything. There's time for everything. There's time. John the Baptist was kept in the desert until the day God began to manifest him.

[52:57] He was growing in the spirit. He was strong. But he still waited. Now, let me tell you this in conclusion. We are five years KP2.

[53:09] Listen. Listen. Please. Hear my heart. Hear my heart. Hear my heart. In life, people come and people go. How many of you have lost friends before?

[53:20] Is it a pleasant experience? Not really. Not really. Some of you, you just lost them because life took you different directions.

[53:33] In life, people come, people go. How many of you know maybe friends in your former school or at a point in time who, when it was time for study sometime, they believe in the wrong things, but you chose not to follow them.

[53:48] And now, their lives are not good. When you chose not to follow them, they didn't make it easy for you. They called you names.

[54:00] They rejected you. They excluded you. Sometimes you feel like these guys. But depending on who else has been talking to you, sometimes when you have right people talking to you, you are even emboldened to still stay faithful, to stay focused on your academic peschets.

[54:15] And now, when you look at you and look at them, it feels sad. It's sad. It's sad. Because they should have listened. So now, this is what it is.

[54:27] People will lead you based on the right decisions you are making. They don't want to accept that. Some people will not like the fact that you say, now I don't do girlfriends.

[54:39] Huh? Hey, look at that guy. He doesn't know life. Leave him alone. Let's enjoy our lives. Don't be worried. Some people will exclude you or they will reject you or they will abandon you because you say, now I don't do girlfriends.

[54:55] I don't do that anymore. Some people say, oh, leave him alone. Sometimes you might feel it. Other times, you might not feel it. But most of the time, what I'm saying, listen to this very carefully I'm trying to end now.

[55:08] There's always time for everything. Listen. Charise. By God's grace. If all charism may best come. There's no real proper auditorium that can take us.

[55:21] But you know, some people have left us. Watch this. They left us on different useless grounds. Just like Jesus in John chapter 6. Verse 61, 62, 63.

[55:34] When he finished preaching a strong message. After strong message. People. Some people ask you sit here. Your heart has switched. I mean. I'm not coming back. Bye. Others.

[55:45] Others have switched and said, no. I think this is the thing I need to hear. So the same thing that people are making a decision on to live. Others are making a decision.

[55:56] They're right people. They're right people. And the good thing is that, listen to this very carefully. Listen. Don't miss this. The good thing is that over a period of time, people might live your life and others might come to live.

[56:08] But just stay focused on what is right. Stay focused on what is right. And as you stay focused on what is right, over a period of time, a year, two years, three years, five years.

[56:21] Listen. Do not. I'm going to say it again. Do not be intimidated by what is happening elsewhere when you know you are doing the right thing. Because, listen to this, you can write this down.

[56:34] Right is might. Let's all say that together. Right is might. Say it again. Right is might. Everybody say, right is might. Right is might. When you are right, in the right, you are mighty.

[56:47] You are in might. Stay on the right path. Let people go. You feel it sometimes. You feel it. You feel it.

[56:58] But know what you are doing. It's like education. Your colleagues, after first degree, they stopped. But you went for your master's. And some of them, whilst you are doing your master's, you all went into the, let's even say social work.

[57:17] Right. Or whatever. Let's say the medical field. They did nursing for two years or three years. They are done. And you choose to continue. After nursing, you just tried to switch and go into do some medicine.

[57:33] And you did some medicine. Or you specialized in something. And then you did PhD. Now, they've been working for five to ten years.

[57:44] When you come out, when you get your good job, you become their manager's boss. And their salary, they might be, let's say, if they are in 40,000 a year, you might start with 65, 75.

[58:02] And what is even, this is very interesting. What is even very serious is where you start from over the period, the graph of your horizon is usually like this.

[58:17] When you are not very much educated, the graph of your horizon is like, the slope, the gradient is lower. But if you are highly educated, very educated, the gradient of your rise is steeper.

[58:33] You rise far higher over ten years. So, he is doing, let's say, he is doing, let's say, just for illustration, okay. Nursing. You are doing medicine, okay.

[58:45] So, your doctor is a nurse. Your specialist is just a GP. Over a period of time. After being a GP for 20 years, 15 years, he'll be somewhere here.

[58:57] After being a skin specialist for 15 years, you'll be somewhere there. Time. Time. Everybody is rising by your rise. So, when we tell you, pay the price.

[59:08] Those who will not pay the price, they will win the price. So, it's a match of time. Stay on the right path and let time favor you.

[59:21] That scripture I read here. I came under the heavens. The rest is, oh. Ecclesiastes chapter 9, verse 11. Jesus. I return. I return and so on, I understand.

[59:35] The rest is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill.

[59:45] But, let's read that together. What time and shots happen to them? One more time. What time and shots happen to them? Louder. What time and shots happen to them?

[59:58] What happens to everybody? Time and chance. It's not got to do with your skin color. It's not got to do with your gender. It's not got to do with your religion. It's got to do with time and chance.

[60:12] Time and chance. Everybody has time. Everybody has time. What you invest your time in will determine what will be the outcome of your life.

[60:26] That's right. Time and chance. This is the point I'm making. Stay on the right path and do what is right.

[60:37] And leave the rest for providence. When you are on the right path, you have actually endorsed your future peace. Wow. Peace. If you jump onto the wrong path, your life will be filled with drama.

[60:51] So, as you do this thing the right way, you are mitigating severe negative conditions in your life. And one, you are minimizing drama in your future.

[61:04] But don't be in a hurry to succeed overnight. That's what I'm trying to say. Be in a hurry and be determined to stay on the right path.

[61:19] In spite of the mountains, you see the hurdles, you see the obstacles, you see they are part of life. But others have seen those obstacles, overcome the obstacles, and today they are at the top.

[61:30] You are on your way to the top. So, this is what I'm saying. Time and chance happens to them all. To everything, there is time. Listen, you will live long.

[61:43] And stay on the right. Don't be worried. People will look like they are going ahead of you. Because everyone has a different front. And all their fingers are not the same. Okay?

[61:54] Don't compare yourself to anybody. Just be on the right path. And respect time. Use time wisely. And your anniversaries will not end. Different types of celebrations and anniversaries will end.
