[0:01] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to this spirit-filled word by David Entry. When you catch a word, you have caught God. May you catch a word today that will cause God to change your story.

[0:13] Be blessed. Blessings are loaded. The things that make blessings load. I want to tell you about blessings and how to get them loaded. There's one principal way, one principal.

[0:25] There may be other subsidiary or sub means, principles to get blessings loaded. But there's one, central, one, only one principal way. All the others are subject to that, to get blessings to the Lord.

[0:37] But I need you to understand that God told Abraham that Genesis chapter 12, verse 1, 2, 3, get out of your house, your kindred, from amongst your kindred.

[0:48] The Lord, that word Lord is Yahweh. Yahweh, that song where it says, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh. It's an ineffable name.

[1:00] So when you read your Bible and you see that I told you Genesis chapter 2, it was there, we saw it, verse 4. And the Lord God, the Lord, that's Jehovah, Yahweh. So it was translated in English as Jehovah.

[1:13] W-H-Y-H. Yahweh. So the songwriter said, Yahweh, Yahweh, is your name, breathe low. Yeah, so Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh.

[1:25] It's Y-H-W-H. So it's Yahweh. So, but it's, most people call it, say Yahweh, which means I am, I am Yahweh.

[1:38] The same thing, Jehovah. It is the same thing, Yahweh. And it's usually translated in the King James Version as Lord with capital L, capital O, capital R, capital D.

[1:49] Lord, which is different from, I think Psalm 110. It said, the Lord said to my Lord. All right, so we see one Lord is big and the second one is small. So it's like, land Lord.

[1:59] The fact that you are a land Lord is not in that meaning you are a land of Yahweh. So the Lord said to Abraham, and as I told you the other time, maybe Psalm 10 didn't get it right. Elohim, God, in the beginning God, is God's name when it comes to dealing with creation.

[2:13] But when it comes to dealing with us, his personal relationship with us is Yahweh. It's a God who is having a personal, so that's why it is the Lord. It's not God who said to Abraham, but the Lord who said to Abraham.

[2:24] So the Lord said to Abraham, get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred and from thy father's house onto the land that I will show you.

[2:35] It said, get thee out of your country and onto the land that I will show thee. God must show you where to go. It's not everywhere you go and relocate. Everyone is going to Dubai, so you're also looking for a job in Saudi Arabia.

[2:49] My friend, you might compromise your children's destiny. Yeah, it's not everywhere you relocate and everybody is moving to that area. You are going. If you're a Christian, you have to let God lead. Yeah. Because when God leads, he goes with the lead.

[3:01] He works for the lead, the one who is leading. He goes with the one who is leading. When God leads, he goes with the lead. He works for the lead. He defends the lead. He favors the lead. God told Abraham, go where I will enter.

[3:13] Okay, let's go to verse 2. He said, and I will bless you. Cool. And I will make thee a great nation. And I will bless you. I will bless you and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. Now, look.

[3:23] This is interesting. If you look at the text very carefully, God has blessings. He didn't just show up to Abraham and start a blessing. No. He said, I want to bless you, but this is how the blessing must come. He said, move.

[3:35] It's very interesting. God even said, Abraham, come for a blessing. And then when Abraham comes, he said, okay, move and do this. He came to Abraham, started with instructions.

[3:45] And he says that as you obey the instructions, I will bless you. And see, the very important word that starts the verse 2. End. Verse 1.

[3:56] Now, the Lord said, do this, do this, do this, do this, do this. And then verse 2 said, and I will. So you should do, and I will. Do, and I will make you great, and I will bless you.

[4:08] Make thy name great. Do it, and I will do it. That's how blessings come. So that means that, as I've been saying, if any time God wants to bless somebody, he just comes to you with an instruction. The shortest, the quickest way into blessings is practicing the word.

[4:23] Wow. Not even prayer, hands are laid on you. That, those ones matter. It makes a big difference. But really, real, the highway of blessing is practice.

[4:35] The highway of blessings is practice. Oh, I'm about to say something that some of you, you might not know. You don't go to hell because of what you have done. I'll pause. Think, think, think, think, think.

[4:47] People will not be sent to hell because of what, they won't be sent to hell because of what they have done. So why should they, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why? What's that? You said our sins will send us to hell.

[4:59] What should they do then? Even amongst the believers, according to Matthew chapter 25, he spoke about the wise virgins, the foolish virgins. So he started with 10 virgins.

[5:10] Then he goes on to the three servants. The master was traveling. One gave five talents, one, two, the other one, two, the other one, one. And then at the end, if you look at the verse 29, it says that the lazy one, it says that, verse 28 says that, take therefore from him the talents, I think we should go to verse 27, you should have done this, you are, where he says, okay, let's just move to 25, it does start from where, and I was afraid, so I didn't do anything, I hid it, and then verse 26, then the master said to him, his lord, you see that lord, it's different from Yahweh, his lord answered and said unto him, thou wicked and slothful servant.

[5:46] Laziness. Say laziness. Laziness. It's a very expensive thing. Laziness means, you see, a lazy person doesn't do what they have to do. So he said, thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knowest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strawed.

[6:03] You should have, go to the level. So you ought to have deposited, you should have done something. It's not what you didn't do, or not, it's not what you have, sorry, not what you have done, that is going to work against you.

[6:16] What you did not do. What you did not do. Check. All of them, they said, well done, thou good, because you have done this, because you, and then this one, they say, because of what you didn't do.

[6:27] You will go to hell. You will suffer punishment and judgment and curses because of what you didn't do. Because when it comes to doing, we do, you see, curse the unprofitable servant, unprofitable servant into the outer darkness.

[6:43] Why? Because he didn't do something he should have done. So when we come to church, when we come together, the scriptures is full of instructions. Teaching us, showing us what to do. Testimonies are a function.

[6:54] A pastor who doesn't give instructions is not helping people. And we live in a generation of people, a generation where people don't like instructions.

[7:05] They don't like instructions. The pastor who is not giving you instructions is not helping you, is killing you. Because you must know what to do. There is always what to do to get blessings to start downloading.

[7:17] For blessings to start loading, there are things to do. There will always be things. All scripture is given by the inspiration. Today we read it in 2 Timothy 1, chapter 8. All scripture is given by the inspiration of God. And it's profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and instructions in righteousness.

[7:31] Why? So that the man of God will be thoroughly finished. Thoroughly finished, complete. Will be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. All scripture is given for instruction. Instructions, instructions, instructions, instructions, instructions.

[7:45] That's why if we come to church and it's only singing, we are singing, and we see, amen, God will do, amen. You always have to be worried if you are not receiving instructions. Because God is full of instructions.

[7:56] Can you imagine? In the Old Testament, he gave them 613 commandments. It's in Exodus and Deuteronomy. Most of us are only conversant with the big 10 commandments.

[8:07] It's not 10 alone. Here, 613. 600. A lot of God is full of instructions. Check it. 613 instructions. Oh, but now we are not in the law.

[8:19] So Christ gave 1100 instructions. So we think, there's even more in the New Testament. More. 1100.

[8:30] Compare. Verse 613. Almost double. Christ came with more instructions. More instructions. In the law of Moses said that don't commit adultery. Don't commit adultery. But Jesus said, no, if asked for you, don't look adultery.

[8:42] Don't. Don't. Yeah. So plenty. Because the instructions are the highway for blessings. Highways of blessings.

[8:53] Instructions are the highways of blessings. And people have been realized that God blesses and curses. Woo. Woo. Really? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

[9:03] God judges. He judges. And he pardones. He is a God of righteousness and a God of love. He is a God of truth.

[9:14] And he's a God of justice. He will deal with it. And so he has to do something. Most people have known God in only one. God is a God of love. But he forgot he's also a God of justice.

[9:26] When some things are done, God will have to act. Or when some things are not done. It's interesting. When I studied the Bible, I found out that mainly the laws of God and the blessings, where he spells out blessings and curses, are always conditional that if you do this, you'll be blessed.

[9:44] If you don't do this or you do this other way, you'll be cursed. And when you read Exodus, the curses are twice as much as blessings. It is very worrying. So if you look at the number of curses it talks about, they are twice in Exodus.

[9:57] Twice as much as the blessings. Wait and see. Exodus, the laws were given. The first law was given in Exodus. And then the second law was given in Deuteronomy. Because they messed up the first law.

[10:08] That's why Deuteronomy is called Deutro. Two. Do it. Deutro. Normos. Normos. Normos is law. When you say something, it's antinomianism. Antinomian.

[10:18] Antinomals. They're without law. All right. So normal. Deuteronomy is second law. So Deuteronomy is about actually the giving of the law. And watch this. In Exodus, as I said, the curses were twice as much as blessings.

[10:33] And in Deuteronomy, curses were four times as much as blessings. Yeah. So, so, you know, that's why a lot more people suffer than a lot more people seeing blessings.

[10:45] But pastor, when you are in Christ, all things are new. So prove it by your living, by your behavior, by the way you listen to obey instructions and follow. Prove it.

[10:55] Now, God watched this. Watch the original read in Genesis chapter 12. God called Abraham and he blessed him and he said, I'll bless you. Now, when Abraham moved and obeyed God, there was a time God came to Abraham and he said, my covenant is with you.

[11:08] This land, I'm giving this land as a covenant for you, for your possession. So by God's promise and covenant, the land was given to Abraham and his descendants.

[11:20] So through God's promise, they were given, they became possessors of the land. But it takes all the law. Okay, let me explain this again.

[11:32] Abraham's covenant, the Abrahamic covenant makes the people of Abraham possessors of the land. The Mosaic law, the Mosaic covenant, it's based on the law.

[11:43] So the Mosaic covenant is, I'm making a covenant between my people. If they obey, this is what I do. The Mosaic covenant is what makes us occupiers or occupants or inhabitants of the land.

[11:58] So you can be given the land by your law. You forgot the Jews. Jews. And the interesting story, when you read the Old Testament throughout, you find out that the Jews were more times out of the land than they were in the land.

[12:12] Read the Old Testament. God is the land for them. But for most of the time in the Old Testament, because they disobeyed God, they were given away to their enemies. They were dispossessed of the land.

[12:24] They were driven out of the land. So the land by covenant, the Abrahamic covenant makes you entitled to their blessing. But the Mosaic, the law, the instructions is make what makes you download it.

[12:36] That makes it begin to load for you. So the fact that you are in Christ, didn't he say clearly, according to Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3, that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessing in heavenly places.

[12:51] Why is it in your life? Oh, no, some. He has blessed us. Has means already done. It's a done deal. Not God will bless us. God has blessed us. God has blessed us.

[13:03] God has, has, has, has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. Now, for it to become manifested blessings, there are instructions to obey.

[13:14] Wow. Wow. So once, Bible says that for all those who are in Christ are blessed with faithful Abraham. Galatians chapter 3. So if you are in Christ, you are blessed with Abraham.

[13:26] If you are in Christ, you are blessed with Abraham. If you are in Christ, you are blessed with believing Abraham. Once you are in Christ, according to verse 29, it says that when you are in Christ, it says that if you are Christ, then you are Abraham's seed.

[13:43] And the blessing was given to Abraham and his descendants. So once you are in Christ, you are entitled to a blessing. But now, not all Jews, not all the descendants of Abraham enjoyed the blessing in the land.

[13:57] They didn't enjoy, not all of them enjoyed it. Most of them died in exile. Some of them died away from the land. But for many, for many years, they were not in the land. The land was theirs, but they were not in it.

[14:09] But God said, I'll bring you back. God said, I'll bring you, no one can take it from them. God said, I'll bring, so God brings them back. So I'm trying to tell you that maybe potentially because you are born again and you are part of this healthy environment, your marriage has already been released.

[14:25] But now, what are you supposed to obey for the marriage to happen? Don't just come. Bless me, bless me. Look for instructions. As the preachers, people are sharing their testimony. Look, what instruction did that sister obey?

[14:38] What instruction did that sister follow? Didn't you hear the guy? He said, I started engaging in kingdom service, winning souls. You don't want to do what God said to Abraham.

[14:48] Move out of your home. You are still there. You are now doing extension in the house. You are doing home extension, refurbishment. When God said move, your cousin, who is a builder, has now said, this time we can do a lot with this, your house.

[15:04] You are doing loft conversion. You are saying that, oh, this loft is for the prophets. When the prophet comes, the prophet will come because God said move.

[15:19] Even if the prophets come to stay there, you have disengaged the loading of the blessing. I feel like preaching. Preach! Some people, you should work hard to stay very far away from.

[15:32] Stay very, very, very, very far away from. I'm telling you. You should work hard to stay very far away from. Because when people, did you remember when Saul was persecuting the church?

[15:47] You said, I mean, how can you be hitting my body and my head will not react? You can't maltreat my body for my head to feel it's okay. Because my head is part of my whole body.

[15:57] Jesus said, hey, hey, this is the way that, Jesus took it personal. Some people, let me tell you something. I'm about to say some interesting things. You can choose to extend your fasting to 28 days.

[16:10] That testimony is not happening. Because there is a law you are breaking and you don't want to change. There is a footprint. Listen, you can change your mind, but you can't change your history.

[16:21] Wow. So you have to be careful. Because most of us, our suffering is historic. Most of the things that Satan is using against us is based on some things in our history.

[16:33] And sometimes it will take a bit of time for you to recover from that negative history by actively engaging in something else when you can't change it. Something else. Actively engaging in instructions.

[16:45] Obeying certain instructions. Listen, I like the lady's testimony. He said, for two years, since the pastor taught on tight, for two years, I've been very faithful. I've not mentioned. And see today she's sharing her testimony.

[16:56] Sharing her testimony. These things are very important to understand. Other than that, there are people who are. Haven't you realized that some people might not even pray like you pray and sweat? You're sweating.

[17:08] You're sweating. You're sweating. You're sweating. You're sweating. They're sweating. And they are not sweating like you. But they are getting more results than you. I'm not attributing it to prayerlessness. But I'm attributing there are some people who are practicing certain things you are not practicing.

[17:22] And so they have an advantage over you. And blessings are loading. Blessings are no respect of persons. It says, see it a man who looks into the perfect law of liberty.

[17:33] This one, endure the work. This one is not a forgetful here, Jewish chapter 1 verse 25. But it's a doer of the work. Work. Work. This one will be blessed in what he doers.

[17:45] Do. Does. This one will be blessed in what he does. This one. He's doing. Blessing is because. Ah! Blessing is because someone is doing something.

[17:56] Blessing is because someone is doing something. Not someone is feeling something. You're feeling. You're feeling. No! No! Blessing is not based on your feelings. It's based on your doings. What do.

[18:07] What should you do? The things you have seen. The instructions you have seen. The key. The principles you have seen in God's word. Which you have put into practice. That's what makes blessings load.

[18:17] Once you see the blessing. It's like you have found the button. Press it! How do you press the button? Start obeying it. As soon as you start obeying the instruction. Blessing starts loading. Saul. Saul. Why do you persecute me?

[18:28] There are some people you should stay very far away from. Yeah. You have to form links with people who are faithful towards the certain principles and the things of God. Like the sons of Noah. The elder son and the other one.

[18:40] They teamed up. Shem and Japheth. They teamed up. Because a healthy alliance. Don't make alliance with Saul. Some people as soon as you see negative comment coming from their mouth with regards to your source of channel.

[18:53] Cut them off. I'm telling you. Cut them off. Unfriend them. They say also you have unfriend them. Don't let it bother you. Your blessing will defend you. Yes. Don't let it bother you. Because where you are going and what you are believing God for.

[19:04] You don't have time to feel sorry for your mistakes again. Because you can change your mind but you can't change your history. And sometimes what you have done is working against you. Yeah. When I saw this scripture I was very surprised.

[19:16] I was studying my Bible and I came across this Ezekiel chapter 5 verse 11. Where it says that you take my sanctuary for granted. It says that wherefore as I live says the Lord God.

[19:27] Surely because thou hast defiled my sanctuary. Do you see that? With all thy detestable things. Satan likes encouraging people to focus on the humanity of men of God.

[19:39] So what God comes. This is a man of God. This is a man of God. You are dealing with a man of God. And then but you are not akin to brown jumpers.

[19:50] Oh. So you don't the brown jumpers. But you can see the hand of God is on him. Let's say this is the hand of God. But the brown jumper sometimes distracts you. But you don't come. You didn't come to him because of brown jumper.

[20:02] You came to him because he's a man of God. Now watch this. And you have decided to team with others and complain like Miriam did. Like Cora did.

[20:13] Like Dayton and Abiram. They did. To complain against the man of God because of his brown. Because you have seen his humanity. But Hebrews chapter. Don't go.

[20:24] But according to Hebrews chapter 5 verse 1. He said every high priest is taken from amongst men. That person is a man before he was called. Oh. I feel like.

[20:34] You appreciate it. The person. Every high priest is taken from among men. So you are now focusing on his humanity.

[20:45] But God knows he has humanity. And chose. Listen to me. So I'm dealing with a man of God. And I'm looking at his humanity. Instead of looking at the hand of God upon his life.

[20:57] Watch this. I'm beginning to tell God he's not smart enough. Because God should have seen the brown. Oh. Mercy Lord. But why am I focusing on what God chose not to focus on?

[21:11] God is aware and even knows more. He knows more about this. The brown and other deeper browns you don't see. He knows it.

[21:21] Yes. He said you. I'm going to. Then you. God has packaged him to be a blessing to you. And then you. Look at him. And he said the brown. Then you go online.

[21:32] You send messages to people. You send messages to people. This is annoying. When you rise up against the sanctuary of God. Or the anointed of God.

[21:42] Your sufferings are loaded. Hey. Salud. You watch the space. Stay away from people whose sufferings are loaded.

[21:55] But the good news is. Your blessings are loaded. Say hallelujah. Hallelujah. Your blessings are loaded. Amen. Your blessings are loaded.

[22:06] Amen. Your blessings are loaded. Amen. Your blessings are loaded. Amen. Amen. The sister said in her testimony. That wow. I was expecting hundreds.

[22:17] But this thing. I just know. It's the hand of God. Because I started practicing something. Now let me finish that scripture. Ezekiel chapter 5 verse 11. Look at it. It says that. That says. The last longer side. Because you have defiled my sanctuary.

[22:30] With all thy detestable things. And with all thine abomination. Therefore. Therefore will I also diminish you. Can you imagine? God. God. He said.

[22:40] People. People don't know. That God has different sides. He said. Me. He said. Therefore. I will diminish you. Neither shall my eyes spare. Neither will have any pity.

[22:52] You are shrinking. That's why sometimes. When you get to a certain age. And you are going through all kinds of things. You have to check your history. Because at the age of 60.

[23:04] What did you do? When you were 25. When you were 30. What did you do? Which man of God did you attack? How did you treat that wife?

[23:15] And today. You are at a level. You have four children. And none of them know where you live. None of them. But they are doing well. And you are still struggling. It's like. Even your family have rejected.

[23:26] What did you do? And it's not because you are doing the work of God. What did you do? When you were 30. What did you do to some of these children? Some of these women. You are abused. And you hurt.

[23:37] And brutally vandalized. What did you do? What did you do? And now at the age of 63. You are almost like a beggar. What did you do? Your blessings are loading. Amen.

[23:49] When blessings load. They will show up. You wouldn't have to tell people. You are working in blessing. They will know. They will look at you. Say. Ah. Your life is so nice.

[23:59] I wish I was in your shoes. I wish I was. They will say. Because what is happening in your life. It's just so beautiful. It's people who are jealous. Who intentionally want to refuse to acknowledge.

[24:10] But they know. Everybody knows that you are being hypocritical. That meant this. The thing is working for the guy. Yeah. Blessings are loading. Blessings are loading. Blessings are loading. Amen. Deuteronomy chapter 28.

[24:23] Verse 1. It says. Then it shall come to pass. If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice. The voice of the Lord thy God. Now when you read the Bible. I'm sure some of you begin. Especially King James. You begin to see the Lord.

[24:34] The Lord. The Lord. The Lord thy God. To observe and to do all his command. Ah. That the Lord will set thee. Ah. Okay. On high above all nations. Oh.

[24:45] And all these blessings. Oh. So the blessings are going to come because of what I've chosen to do. Hmm. Say if you are willing and obedient. You will eat the fruit of the land.

[24:55] The highway of blessings is obedience. Obedience. Obedience. Before you start looking. Why am I not blessed? Ask. What are you obeying? What are you disobeying? When things are working against you.

[25:07] Check. What am I disobeying? Most people. They don't look for that. They look for prophets. You need more prayer. I mean. Some of the things. There's no more prayer you need. You have to just do a research.

[25:19] Open your eyes. Ask God to show you. What is. What. What instruction am I disobeying? Maybe you should go back and treat your husband well. Go back and treat your wife well. It's as simple as that. You are fasting for 40 days.

[25:29] You have abandoned. You are not treating your wife well. You have. You want the fruit of the womb. You want to be pregnant. And you just. You don't respect your husband. Yeah. You don't respect your husband. But you want the fruit of the womb.

[25:41] And you are wondering. The thing is not happening. We have declared. We have declared. Receive. Receive. Receive. Something. When things are not working. Check what instructions you are disobeying.

[25:53] Because when you disobey some instructions. Knowingly or unknowingly. Things will come. You don't have to know. That's the problem. That's why you can't afford not to know. That's why a good pastor must teach you.

[26:05] Because what you don't know is what is killing you. So Samipo. I never knew that I'm supposed to be giving tithes faithfully. You never knew. But the thing. Well. That's fine. Your heart was clean. You never knew. But the thing is.

[26:16] You are denied yourself certain manifestations. Certain type of blessing. I never knew that I should be really engaged in church service. Church activity. I was serving God. Or serving in the church.

[26:27] Getting engaged in some church activities. Like. I didn't know. So you didn't know. And so you are not getting the blessing that that thing can bring. Blessed are the beatitude.

[26:39] Blessed are they that do this. Then. Because this is. Blessing is based on what you do. Suffering is based on what you are not doing. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[26:51] Check what you are not doing. Check what you are not doing boy. There's always something that somebody is not doing. Yeah. Today I asked a red second Timothy. Oh. That thing was too loaded. I saw.

[27:03] I saw 17 reasons why people suffer. 17 reasons why hard times come to people. 17. From verse 1 to verse 7.

[27:16] Hey. Oh. And then one of the verses. It says something. I was shocked. It says that they. They creep into. They. It says they creep into houses.

[27:26] And lead silly women. Ladin with sin. Hey. I said wow. This was about. It says silly women. Silly women. Ladin. Loaded with sin.

[27:38] Every aspect. When they turn. Full of sin. Loaded. Loaded with sin. Oh. Wow. And he said. Led astray by diverse lusts.

[27:50] Different type of lusts leading you astray. I don't know why he didn't say that. But he said silly women. Ladin with sin. King James. The second Timothy chapter 3 verse 7. This is very interesting. Verse 6. For this sort are they which creep into houses.

[28:03] And lead captives. Silly women. Ladin with sins. Led away with diverse lusts. Hey. Hey. Hey. And he said from such.

[28:16] Turn away. There are some people you have to turn away from. But between verse 1 and verse 5. It mentions 17 things. It says that in the last days.

[28:27] Perilous times shall come. Peril. Perilous times. Very aggressively bad times. Perilous times shall come. In the last days. Global woman is simple. Perilous times shall come.

[28:38] In the last days. Does any other version use a different word. Besides the perilous. I think the amplifier. Let's look at how the amplifier puts it. But understand this. That the last days will come. Set in. Sorry.

[28:49] He said that in the last days. Will come set. Set in. Or will be set in. Perilous times. Of great stress and trauma. Drama. Great. Drama. Drama. Hard to deal with.

[29:00] And hard to bear. Great stress. That the hard to deal with. And hard to bear. Why? Why do people go through? Let me show you. Then back to New King James. The verse 2 tells us. Do you know?

[29:11] It said. Why? Because people shall. That's where. Because people shall be. These 17 things. These are the 17 things that will bring hard times.

[29:22] Stressful times that are hard to take. Yeah. Yes. Number one of the top is. Lovers of the. Those preachers who tell you. How to love yourself.

[29:32] They are speaking for the devil. Hey. Yeah. Speaking for the devil. He said. Turn away from such. Any preacher is teaching you how to love yourself. He's a very dangerous preacher. Jesus said deny yourself. He's also telling you love yourself.

[29:43] And they tell you things. Unscriptural things like. If you don't love yourself. How can you love your. Your enemy. Because people say love your enemy. I say. You love yourself already. So when you are in Christ. You begin to tone it down.

[29:54] So you can focus on God. And then others. Every human being by nature selfish. It says that one of the signs. That parallel time will come. You love yourself. Lovers of self.

[30:06] Yeah. Lovers of self. Selfie. Selfie generation. Yeah. Lovers of self. You marry a person.

[30:17] Many marriages suffer because people are lovers of self. Yeah. Some people never be able to finish their education because they love themselves and entertainment. Enjoyment.

[30:28] Pleasure. Lovers of self. Oh. I feel like preaching. Preach. It's in your Bible. The Bible that many people have decided not to be reading. It's there.

[30:39] It's there. That's why blessing starts from opening your eyes. Let me take you through some of the. Self-lovers. Yes. Number two. Covert yours. Somebody's car you want it.

[30:49] Somebody's husband. You say it should be yours. Somebody's boyfriend you like. Somebody's hairstyle is yours. Somebody's this. Somebody's wife is the one you like. You are not content with your wife.

[30:59] Your wife. Suddenly your wife's legs are not nice because you are seen brother Ray's wife. Oh brother Ray. Covert yours. Boasters.

[31:12] Boasters. Boasters. Proud. Number four. Proud. Pride will trouble you. There are a lot of reasons why difficult times come. Pride.

[31:23] Pride will introduce you to stressful times. Hard. Stress. Full of troubles. Hard to bear. The amplifier. What does it say? Yeah.

[31:34] Hard to deal with and hard to bear. Great times of great stress and trouble. Hard to bear. Hard to deal with and hard to bear. Yeah. Pride will just introduce you. Welcome. Pride.

[31:46] So you see there are different things that are introduced into hard times. So you don't have to do all of it. Every one of them is an authority on his own. Yeah. Every one.

[31:57] Pride. Blasphemous. People will be blasphemous. They speak about God in church. Anyhow. Six. Disobedient to parents. Hey. Some of you.

[32:08] That's why your life is so hard. That's why things are so hard. Disobedient to parents. It's there. It's clean. I mean. Explicit in the Bible. Disobedient to parents.

[32:21] Yes. Disobedient. Unthankful. Unthankful. All what we have done for you. This is how you say thank you. You. This is how you say thank you.

[32:31] With all what we have done for you. If you want to go and enjoy sin. Why don't you go quietly. But you want to flip it and attack us. In spite of all that you have done. Your sorrows are looting.

[32:43] Hey. Unthankful. Unholy. Unholy. This one. When I saw it. I found it very interesting. The point number. The ninth one. It said.

[32:54] Without natural affection. They don't have natural affection. Naturally. There are certain love. Feelings that should come for us. But you don't have it. Natural. Some strange affections that are not natural.

[33:07] Yeah. Strange affections that are not natural. Young boy. It's only aunties you feel attracted to. Aunties and grandmothers.

[33:24] No, no. It's not natural. It's not natural. You are always angry with your mother.

[33:37] You just don't know why. She hasn't done anything. But when you see her. You don't like it. It's unnatural affection. It's not. It's unnatural. Yeah. Some things are unnatural. It's unnatural. It's strange.

[33:48] You just. Your own child. You don't like the child. You see. It's unnatural. Say. It's not the mother. Don't use the mother to unlike the child. It's unnatural. Hey. I'm preaching.

[33:59] You are preaching. I'm preaching. I think. Yeah. Maybe I will leave it. Because. Truth. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

[34:09] No. No. No. Who is a truth breaker? A promise. A promise. You engage the woman. And then you now have gone to engage another one in looting. You engage one in clapham.

[34:26] And you've actually gone to engage another one in looting. You are a truth breaker.

[34:36] Oh. That's why. Sufferings load. Ah. Yeah. Some people. You can't pray for them. It won't work. Because their sufferings have been endorsed by the condition of their hearts.

[34:49] And they don't even have it in themselves to repent. And cry on the name of the pure adventure. God. For some supernatural reason. Will intervene. And minimize or water down the severity.

[35:03] The severity of the suffering and the crisis. That things that you have done. Has provoked. Yeah. That's how life works. What you do determines what you're going to get.

[35:15] It's a truth. Blessing or curse. You have to choose. It's a choice. It's a I said before you this day. Blessing or. Choose. Choose. In the book of Deuteronomy. 1829. Choose this day.

[35:25] I said before you a blessing and a curse. Choose. 30, 15. Yeah. See. I've said before you this day. Life and good. Death and evil.

[35:36] Next verse. Death and evil. No, no. It's. It's. This is not the one I'm looking for. I think it's. It talks about. Choose. You have to. Choose. Blessing or a curse. It's there.

[35:47] Clear. I think it's 29. I remember something. Behold. I said before this. Yeah. This day. A blessing. And a curse.

[35:58] Verse 20. 20. Seven. A blessing. A blessing. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God. Which I command thee. That's 28. And a curse.

[36:10] If you will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God. But turn aside. Out of the way which I command thee this day. To go after other gods. Which ye have not known.

[36:22] Verse 29. And it shall come to pass. When the Lord your God. Have brought thee. Brought thee in. In. Unto the land. Where. Where thou goest to possess it.

[36:33] That thou shall put. A blessing. Upon my. And the curse. Upon my. So. It's a choice. Blessing. Or a curse. Blessing. Or a curse.

[36:44] You have to choose. Life. Or death. It's always set before you. Now the problem is. What. You see. The reason why this teaching is helpful.

[36:55] Is at least. When you are on the track. You know what you have chosen. Never forget. When sufferings are persistent. Are persistent. Because when symptoms persist. Consult your GP.

[37:06] When symptoms persist. Check your history. Check. There is something. An instruction. You are disobeying. Or some of these things. Some of these things.

[37:17] Yeah. You can be in church. But it's also in your life. Truth breaker. You sign agreement. That I'm part. I'm doing this. And then you flout it. You don't care. You break it. You don't care. Break promises.

[37:28] Without feeling any guilt. Someone trusted you. And you make the person regret. For trusting you. Is that. Truth break. Truth breakers. False accusers. They are always on social media.

[37:40] False accusers. Incontinent. Fears. Despisers of good people. Yes. Someone is. Look at how this pastor has been good to you.

[37:50] You despise him. You despise him. Of good people. Traitors. They make hard times come. Traitor. You are in. But you are still out.

[38:01] Heady. High minded. Pleasure lovers. They love pleasure more than God. Yeah. Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.

[38:16] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So when there's service. You will choose football over service. Oh. Oh. And then people have a form of godliness.

[38:29] So they are in church. But church is not in them. They are in church. But that is one of the reasons why perilous times come. You are in church.

[38:39] But you know you are fake. It's like you don't care. You will just do whatever. The church is not in you. Mm-hmm. That's why perilous times come. Something else is loaded instead of blessing.

[38:52] But when you obey God. You follow the instructions. I brought you here because when I read. Bless me so much. And let me just jump into the verse six again.

[39:02] For this kind of people. They find their way into houses. Into houses. And lead captive. Lead captive. Silly women lady with sin. That's a very interesting.

[39:14] Lead away with diverse lusts. Ever. Watch this. Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Wow. Wow. So I made a note in my Bible.

[39:26] Learning does not necessarily guarantee knowledge of the truth. Wow. Oh, wow. Ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. That is why their behavior is like that.

[39:39] Because you must know the truth and obey the truth in order to be free. Yeah. And he says that now. Now. As Janice and Jambres withstood Moses. So.

[39:49] Watch this. This is serious. So do these also resist truth. You see that? The truth the pastor is speaking. They don't like it. These kind of people. They resist truth.

[40:00] Just like Janice and Jambres withstood Moses. Their own is the truth. And the Bible says that they are men of corrupt minds. Reprobate concerning the faith. Now the word reprobate.

[40:11] I was trying to look into it. Reprobate. Meaning it's like. No, no. You don't qualify. You don't. You are an outcaste when it comes to faith. You are an outcaste. You see yourself. Yeah.

[40:21] Yeah. It's the reprobate concerning the faith. You are an outcaste. You can't be considered as someone in faith. Something is happening. Listen. Come in. Wait, wait. I said something is happening.

[40:32] What is happening to you? My blessings are loaded. What is happening to you? My blessings are loaded. As your confession.

[40:42] So shall it be. Amen. And so. Principal way to get blessings to Lord. Is to know the truth and obey it. There's something to do for blessing.

[40:55] Blessing doesn't come because you feel like. I need to be blessed. I need to. Oh God. Please. Please. No. Stop begging God for blessing. And start looking for something to do. Yeah. Start looking for something to do.

[41:07] Something. Something to do. And stop. Stop begging God. God bless me. Bless me. Bless me. Oh the job. Bless me. Please. Do us blessing. We are in an era of do us blessings.

[41:20] Abraham. Got the covenant. To possess the land. But it took the covenant of Moses. To determine whether they can inhabit. And live there.

[41:31] These are the principle. This is the principle. Where blessings come. Simple. In simple terms. Obedience. Blessings. The only way to really get.

[41:41] The principle way to get blessing. is obedience. Obedience. Obedience. Obedience. Obedience. Obedience. It says we are called apostles to the obedience of the truth.

[41:55] That leads to God in, I think, Romans chapter 1, verse 5 or so. We have received apostleship. We have received apostleship. Who has, by whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith amongst all nations for his name.

[42:12] Apostleship for obedience. An apostle is supposed to help you to obey, teach you to obey. And that's how blessings happen. There are a lot of people who are doing things and hiding it because no one knows. Pastor doesn't see.

[42:24] Church people don't know. But listen, listen, listen. It doesn't matter at all. I will never forget. You see, who your friend is matters. Their blessings are loading. Their blessings.

[42:34] Look at the sister's testimony. Their blessings. Today she's sharing testimony. Did you receive something? We received a lot. There's a place for declarations.

[42:45] But have you noticed? I've been realizing that I've declared and declared. Thank God he has blessed my voice. I would have been losing my voice. But I've declared some people, the thing is not showing. God showed me the secret.

[42:56] Teach my people that there's something they might be ignoring. They are not doing. People suffer in life and are punished by God for what they don't do. Not what they are doing. What they are not doing.

[43:08] Some of us, your association is going to kill you. It's going to ruin you. Yeah. Your association. You smell like your association. So it's time for somebody to step into a new phase of your life.

[43:24] So shall it be. In Jesus' name. I need you just to pray. I want you to make a commitment to Jesus. That Lord, you are my Lord. You are my Lord and I choose to obey you.

[43:37] I choose to. I receive grace and fresh breath to walk in obedience to the instructions you have given. Make that prayer right now.

[43:49] Everybody, pray. Lift up your right hand. Pray that prayer right now. It's a very personal thing. It's a very personal thing. It's a very personal thing. Lord. Oh Lord.
