The heart desire of God

The speaker discusses the importance of understanding the desires of God and serving Him in order to receive the best from Him. He emphasizes the need to approach God with a sincere heart and not with a transactional or business mindset. The speaker also highlights the significance of winning souls as it is at the heart of God and brings wisdom and blessings. He urges listeners to prioritize soul-winning and reminds them of the limited time they have on earth to make a difference. The ultimate goal is to spend eternity with God and avoid perishing. family today I want to share with you the heart desires of God. Amen. You see if you and I want to work in power want to work in dominion or in dominion and want to reign here we have to understand what is the heart desire of God. Amen. Are you with me? Amen. It's only when you know how to serve a person to the best way he's willing for you that you get the best from him. Amen. Are you with me? Amen. If you understand to bring to a person what is best for him you will have the best of him. Amen. Amen. God bless you my daughter for receiving it with your clamp of offering. Amen. Amen. God is awesome. Amen. God is awesome. Amen. But you see God desire us to open up to him. Amen. He desire us to open up to him. We come to God with a transactional mind. We come to God with a business mind. Most of us why do you not touch the robe of Jesus and receive your miracle because you come in the presence of God with a business mind. You come in the presence of God saying God I'm just coming for this. You come sometimes in the presence of God with the things of God if you do this I'll do this. Jesus. We take God as a business body instead of taking God as our eternal father. God if you do this I'll do that. Oh I don't see this happening I'm not gonna go to church any longer. Oh I don't. Do you think what matters is this? What you are living here, what you and I are having here now in this time is small compared to where we are going. Amen. Are you with me? Amen. When you know and you bring to the person what is best to him you will have the best of the person. For you to have the best of somebody you need to understand what is the best for him. And when you catch up with it let me tell you you'll have the attention of the person. And today if my wife she knows when she want to tell me or want to speak to me about you know things that is important to her she will cook my best dish. She'll cook my best dish. Anytime I see that my dish is there I know there is something that is coming after. I know there is a discussion that we'll have here and I need to comply. She understands. She understands that I need to touch the heart of this man so that I can get the best of him out. Amen. Listen to me. Isaac spoke to his son. He says I want to bless you. I want to release what is on me. I want to release the best of me on you. But listen my son I want you to go and cook me a stew. Bring me a stew. Bring me a stew. Let me eat the stew then I will release the blessing. Because I believe Isaac loved the stew of Esau. And he understood that if I eat this my heart will be happy. Are you with me? That is why it is important for you to please the heart of your man of God. Because when you please the heart of your man of God you get the best of your man of God. What do you do? You come to school. You come to church just because you want to mark your presence. No we are not doing church here. We don't do church. We don't do church. We do the presence of God. Amen. We do not do church. That's why sometimes time is not important to us. Amen. We come here. We stay here. We live here. Three o'clock, four o'clock, five o'clock, eight o'clock. I have lived this place eight o'clock. Eight o'clock. I live here. While some of us are already home. You're already eating. Me I'm here. Serving. There is nothing best than serving God. Amen. There is nothing more important than serving God. Amen. Are you with me? Amen. Now if you want the best you need to know the best for the other. And I want to take you in the journey of understanding the best in the heart of God. Are you with me? I started this already but I want to today give you some keys about this. Amen. It will be on the screen. Proverbs 11 verse 30. Proverbs 11 verse 30. I'll read a couple of passages to bring this to. Is it on the screen? Yes. Ready on the count of three, two, one, let's read. The fruit of righteousness is the tree of life and the one who is wise says life. Okay. Now there is another version. Yeah. That says the one who wins souls is wise. Are you with me? The one who wins souls is wise. Gems 5 verse 20. Gems 5 verse 20. Gems 5 verse 20. Amen. It's on the screen. We'll read on the count of three, two, one, let's read. Let him that will save a soul from death and cover the multitude of sins. In these two verses, I put it a bridge to tell you this. The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Okay. Are you with me? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of what? It starts saying the fear of the Lord. Are you with me? But you see, the same book that we read calls Jesus to wisdom. Jesus is the wisdom. Jesus is not the wisdom. He does not have the wisdom, but he is the wisdom. Are you with me? Now, the book of Proverbs says that whosoever wins souls is wise. When you win souls, you are wise. What does that mean? It means that when you win souls, you have wisdom. Amen. Are you with me? If you want to have wisdom, one of the things that you need to do is what? Win souls. Amen. Are you with me? Amen. But hear this. Jesus, according to the book of Corinthians, Paul says Jesus is wisdom. So, if you win souls, you have wisdom. It directly means that when you win souls, you have Jesus. Amen. You want to have Jesus in you. You want to walk with Jesus. You want to have Jesus close to you. Win souls. Amen. Win souls. Let me tell you this. Soul winning is at the heart of God. Amen. Soul winning is one of the things that moves God. God can be moved by your worship. God can be moved by your praise. God can be moved by your words. But let me tell you, there is nothing bigger that moves God than winning souls. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. You see, I'll put it in this way. This is not the Bible that says, but this is me telling you this. When you worship, you may have a UNO. Amen. When you praise, you may have a Toyota Corolla. Are you with me? Amen. When you worship, some of us have maybe a BMW. Are you with me? Depending on your level of worship. Because even in worship, there is levels and levels. Amen. Are you with me? Now, but when you win souls, when you win souls, there is no levels in winning souls. Amen. Winning souls is winning souls. Winning souls, you return the heart of somebody who was supposed to die to have life. There is no level. Winning soul does not require me to have a different level. No. Winning souls is winning souls. Hallelujah. Now, when you win souls, what you have, you have the best. If somebody was worshiping having a BMW, by winning souls, you have a Rolls Royce. Hey, I receive it. Amen. Because winning souls is something that is closer to the heart of God. Amen. It is bringing God the best in me. If your offering is a sweet, sweet incense to the nursery of God, your offering of souls is best incense that you can give to God. Amen. What is in the heart of God is souls. God does not want anyone to die. God does not want anyone to go and spend eternity in hell. Hell exists. Hell exists. Amen. Though it's not yet open, but hell exists. And it will be open. And there will be people there spending their eternity there. Imagine this. Imagine you. You are following Christ. You are winning souls. You have the best of it. You go to heaven. You spend, you have your crown. You spend eternity with Jesus. Now, your child, your child, your child is on the other side. How will you feel? But you see, there, there will not be any time. There will no longer be time. Time is not there. There, there will not be going back. There, there will not be, God, please let me go speak to my son so he can change his way. No. There, there will not be, let me go speak to my grandmother so she can, she can leave those idols and follow you in truth. No. The time that you and I have is now. Every day that you spend brings you closer to your expiring date on earth. I want to say this again. Every day you spend, every day that passes brings you closer to your expiring date on earth. We all have a span of time here. We have a portion of time to live here. You have a beginning and you have an end on earth. You are not Jehovah who is alpha and omega. You, you have an, you have it. You, you, you, you, you have a beginning and the end. Now, what you get after it will depend on you. Amen. Amen. Because life is not only what you see. On Friday, I said that you may think that all you have is this. We have a screen. We have this chair and we are standing on a beautiful auditorium looking at a nice light and this is it. No. No. Do you know that where you are sitting right now, there are viruses that are going around. But they cannot touch you. They are, they are, they are, they are bacterias, bacterias that are there but you don't see them with your eyes. Are you with me? Amen. Why do you go in your bathroom and wash your hands? When you look at your hands, they look clean. My hands are clean. But I tell you, go wash your hands before you eat. Why? Because there are things that you cannot see with your naked eyes but it's not because you cannot see them with your naked eyes that they do not exist. Amen. Are you with me? Amen. Actually, there is more, more that exists that you do not see than what you see. Yes. There is more that exists that your eyes cannot see. There is more than what you see. Amen. God want all of us, all of us to spend eternity with him. Amen. Amen. John 3 say, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. His only begotten son, that was then we also became the son of God. Are you with me? So we are co-heir with Jesus. So by that time he gave his only begotten son so that whosoever believe in him does not perish but have everlasting life. Thank you Jesus. It means people will perish. Are you with me? That message means that people will perish. That's what it means. People will perish but there is a solution now. Amen. There is a solution now for people not to perish. Amen. There is a solution now for you to change your ways and go to have everlasting life. Everlasting life means eternal life. Amen. You and I we know we are not on earth eternal. It means when you receive Jesus, you believe in Jesus, your eternity in him is guaranteed. Amen. Amen. Now question is how many of your friends, how many of those you call my best friend, have given their life to Jesus? While you are beset every day with the word of God, uplifted with the word of God, you all you do, we you know sometimes I say to myself and I say God, please help us not to be selfless or selfish. I say God help us not to be selfish but help us to be selfless. Amen. Because many of us we are focusing on our own situation. We are focusing no my life is not going bad. It's not going good. I want a breakthrough. God give me a breakthrough. God give me. How many of us pray God give me the courage to make soul? Be honest with yourself where you are. Just be honest. Just look at it and just ask to yourself in all the prayers that you've made this week, how many prayers have you made to say God give me the courage to go out there and win souls? How many? But if you see the list of your prayers, it's all about you. God I want this. God I want a big house. God I want a big home. I want a big car. I want this. Actually if you are sincere with yourself, if we are sincere with ourselves, you will see that what you desire is so that people may look at you. Not that God may look at you. We are more afraid of people than God. If I don't make it what people will say, they will laugh at me. You are more afraid for people to laugh at you than God to love you. You are more afraid of what people will say about you, but you are not afraid about what God will say to you. You are more afraid of what people will say about you, but you are not afraid about what God will say to you. Because if you look at it, what are you looking? Why are you looking about that? Why are you looking to have the best car? Why? Why? Is it because it will be a tool for you to go out there and win souls? If already with your feet you cannot win souls, who says that with your car you will go and win souls? The devil is a liar. It starts now. It starts today. It does not start tomorrow. It starts with what you have. It does not start with what you will have. It starts now. Oh no, God, if you give me that house, I am telling you, you lie. You lie. You lie. Because already in the house where you are living right now, it is an apartment, you can already receive at least three people. You are not doing it. When you hear, oh no, my neighbors, they don't like noise. You lie. You lie. You lie. You are ashamed. Some of us are very ashamed for people to come and see where you live. What they will say? That's what they will say. They will say, no, no, no, they cannot come and see me here. They see this house. You are afraid of the opinion and what people will say about you, but you are not afraid of what God will say about you. Open your house for your own service. I don't have enough sofas. I am waiting. When God gives me enough sofas, then I will open the house. You will not have it. You are not faithful with the small, but you want the big. Not faithful with the small, but you want the big. What do you want it for? Jesus Christ. Listen to me. The presence of God is not an NGO. The presence of God is not an SBL. Are you with me? Amen. God does not deal with us like He is in an association. I have a membership. I am in an association. No, no, no, no, no, no. Either you know God or you do not know God. Amen. God is everything that we have. Look at your neighbor. If they are sleeping, this is the message that was for them. That's why they are sleeping. The enemy is after them. Bless them properly. Because for such a message they are sleeping. For what matter they are sleeping? The enemy is after you. Let fire burn your seat where you are. 1 Timothy 2 verse 4. Amen. Read it with me. Count of 3, 2, 1, read. Who desires for men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. God desires men to be saved. Are you with me? Amen. God desires men to be saved. Read it again. If you read from verse 3, start from verse 3. 1 Timothy. Amen. Amen. Read it with me. For this good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior. Continue. Who desires for men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Who desires people to be saved? God. Who desires? God. Do you see that? The people, the salvation of people is God's desire. Amen. Salvation of people is God's desire. Amen. God bless you my daughter. Salvation of people is God's desire. Amen. God does not only desire for you to prosper, but God desires for people to be saved. Amen. Because you prospering is only about you. But people being saved is about others. Amen. It's you being selfless so that others can be saved as well. Amen. That moves God better than you. Amen. Listen to this. Jesus in his entirety as God will leave heaven where everything is good. Everything is perfect. To come and be born where? Not even in the room. Your room is even better than where Jesus was born. Do you know that in the old days, it was rare, rare of the case, rare of the case, for people to take a bath three times, five times a day. You know that water was a precious commodity. Are you with me? Amen. Now, Jesus, our God, was born in the house where animals were living. And this is not even in our times. Because in our times, we take water to clean where the animal lives. There, water will not be spent to clean there. Water is spent for people, not for animals. If they give them water, it's to drink, not to bath them. Who's going to go bath an animal? It does not exist. So it means, where they are sleeping, Mary and Joseph, and baby Jesus being born, it's smelling. Smelling to a point where you cannot enter there. But our Lord accepted to be born there. To say that I will go to the worst of the worst for you. I will accept to live the best and to accept the less for you. Thank you, Jesus. What are you able to live? What best are you able to live? To go and conquer the heart of somebody else. Many are those who used to come here in the house of God. They are just waiting for somebody to give them a word. They used to come their way, faithful to come to the house of God. But nobody is following on them. They are no longer coming on. You know them, but you cannot take one minute of your phone to call them and say, Brother, sister, how are you doing? But you have time to go do window shopping. You are not buying. If you are buying, at least you say no, you go to buy. You are not buying, you are going. You have all the time to go do window shopping. You know which type of clothes is in which shop. Ah, this one I saw it in Primark. You go there. Did you buy? No, you didn't. You go do window shopping. That time could have been invested to win somebody to the Lord. We are most busy with nonsense, futility than doing things that are important. Than what we do. We come and cry in the presence of God. God, me, you are not seeing me. My sister there, you got it. Ah, God, I came in church before her. You came to church before her. She chose the best path. While you chose window shopping. When they say let's come at the night of fire, she was here. You, you are under the blanket. When they say let's go to outreach, she was there winning souls. Building her own self. Moving from 2 disciples to 4. From 4 to 6, 6 to 7. Until she has a 12. You came to church where Emma Belgium opened. 2 years ago. You were actually the first one. Actually the one who had the keys of Emma Belgium was you. But you are moving nowhere. Nowhere. And you want the word, the other hand you must have. Because you came first. You are a liar. A spiritual crook. You are a spiritual crook. It does not work that way. It does not work like that. It does not work because I came. The Bible says the first will become the last. The first will become the last. It does not work because you came first. It does not work because you came to open the door. No. What matters is what I do with my time. It's what I do with my gift. Am I touching the heart of God with my gift? Am I touching the heart of God with my time? That's what matters. That's what matters. You may come to church. You may be. I say to you and I say this again and I repeat this again. There are many of us that are in church but not in the presence of God. God wants us to be in his presence. God does not want us only to be in church. He wants us to be in his presence. The question is, are you in the presence of God? Are you in the presence of God? Because being in the presence of God is being with him. Being with him is having wisdom. Wisdom is winning souls. Amen. Amen. Amen. Family, God will do you good today. After this message, this was not a message that I came to give you so you can jump, jump, jump. This message here is the truth. Amen. It is food. This is like cooking. That's one of the dishes that you need to cook from yesterday and eat it today. This is it. Amen. It's solid food for you. And that's what you need to grow. Are you with me? Amen. And if I, your pastor, do not tell you the truth, who will tell you this? Amen. I have to tell you the truth. I have to tell you what matters. You want to be in the business with God? You want to be in the business with Jesus? You want Jesus to be your partner? You want to partner with Him in the activity of winning souls? If you win souls, if you partner with God in winning souls, people think that winning souls is just me going out and start speaking to people. That is not only winning souls. Let me tell you. Do you know, and I will make it blank to you, many of us have lost jobs, good jobs. Good jobs. Because we didn't do what we were meant to do there. I guarantee you. A door closed because what you were sent to do there, you didn't do. And it was closed. Your workplace can be your platform for you to win souls. Your school is your platform to win souls. Amen. You wonder why you are keeping on failing and they chase you from school. You are reading. You are studying. Actually, you don't sleep studying. But you are just failing. You are failing. You ask yourself, am I not intelligent? No. There is a mission why God sent you in that particular school. And you are not doing that mission. And because you are not doing it, you lose it. Anything, everything. Let me tell this to you. Let me put it blank to you. Everything that you have and you do not take care of, you will lose. Everything that you have in your hands and you do not take care of it, you will lose. Jesus said, I was hungry, I was walking and the fig tree was there. And Jesus was hungry. He wanted to eat. He looked at the fig tree, the fig tree didn't have fruits. What did Jesus say? He cursed the tree. Jesus cursed the tree. Jesus cursed the tree. The Son of Man, God, cursed the tree. The one who came to serve and to save people, cursed the tree. And he said this, anything that cannot produce is good for nothing. If a tree is there meant to produce fruit and does not produce fruit, it's only good to be cut. And throw in the fire. That many of you, the door has been closed. That job, they fired you. Because you were not productive there. If you partner with God in your workplace, partner with God for winning souls there, I guarantee you nobody will touch you. Amen, Amen. I guarantee you. They will come by one way, they will be scattered by several ways. Whosoever stands by you or for you or against you, they will not meet you. They will meet the one that is in you. Because God understands that that platform is not just to bring you glory, but it is to bring him glory. That platform that he has given you is not so that you may be seen, but it is so that he may be seen. Amen. And when God is seen, I tell you, I tested it, I know, I know, I know. Everywhere I go, every platform that God gives me, I take the opportunity to share him. I go back to the word of my father who said that he made a covenant with God to say I need to win 365 souls per year. I say, God, every opportunity you give me, let me share Jesus. That's why when you ask me, how are you doing? I tell you, I am blessed and grateful. That is my answer. Because that answer provokes people. That's just by giving you that answer. If you are not a believer, you say, what is blessed? Okay, my conversation starts there. Why are you saying you are blessed? Why are you saying you are blessed? My conversation starts there. Now, it is an opportunity for me to give you Jesus. Give Jesus wherever you are. In your workplace, give Jesus. Family, let me tell you, this life does not stop here. This life has an eternity. It has an eternity. And we are called to spend life in eternity. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Be answers that will glorify the name of Jesus. Be Christ-centered. Many of us are full of stories on Facebook or status on WhatsApp. Those status are full of, I don't know what, God forbid. The second thing that you need to do, and you need to know, if you are winning souls, is to be purpose-driven. You have to be purpose-driven. You have to have a purpose. A purpose will push you to have goals. It will push you to be accountable. Have a purpose. A child of God in the house of God who does not have a purpose, let me tell you, they will not contribute to nothing. They are just there to add numbers. The house of God needs Christians that are purpose-driven. What are you in the house of God? Why are you there? You have to be purpose-driven. Are you with me? What is your purpose to be in AMI? Are you only here for the prophecy or for the miracle? What are you here for? What is your purpose? We are not members. We are disciples. A disciple makes disciples. So you need to understand your purpose in the presence of God. What is your purpose? The third thing that you need to do, you need to be resilient and you need to be committed. Resilient and committed. The house of God is full of Christians that are not committed. Big talkers. Let's do one. Talk a lot. Have ideas. Doing nothing. Be resilient and committed. Commit to something. Commit to be in a choir. And if you are committed to the choir, come for practice. You are in choir, being in practice, they need to call you five times. Commit to something. You are an answer. Your uniform. We don't know if you have it or you do not have it. We are trying to figure it out. You are not even committed to your own uniform. Commit to something. Be committed. If you are not committed to your uniform, how can you be committed to the salvation of a soul? Be committed. The house of God wants Christians that are committed. You come to the house of God, you see a paper. Paper is there. Paper. You are walking, paper is in front of you. It's like you have a problem with the paper. Like the paper did you wrong yesterday. So you are saying to the paper, I'm not going to touch you. It's like when you wake up, your head is like a dispute. No. Take the paper. Put it in a bin. For you to do that, it's a problem. You are committed to nothing. Be committed. Be resilient. Resilient means that you do not give up. The prophecy came. They say, pastor prophesy on me. I hear that word. I hear it. I know it will come, but it's not coming. I don't give up. I push. The Bible says the kingdom of God. From the time of John the Baptist to today. The kingdom of God suffers violence. And the violence takes it by force. Be resilient. Don't give in to the enemy. Don't give in to the devil. Be resilient. If you need your breakthrough, go for it. If it means that you have to have a covenant with God. Make a covenant. Be an honor of your family. Be resilient. Until you bless me, I will not let you go. Be like Jacob. Fight the good fight of faith. You are so easy to give up. You are so easy to give up. They just walked. They didn't do it by mistake. You were sitting there with your nice shoes. We know you bought it expensive. The poor brother just passed by. He walked on top of your shoes. Yay. Yay. The whole church must know. That somebody walked on your shoes. And because of that, you give up on faith. I'm not coming to church anymore. I cannot go to that church. They don't respect people. They don't respect people. Do you come to church for me? Hey. We met here. We met here. You and I. If we didn't meet here, I wouldn't see your face. Your face actually, I recognize it because of AMI. That's true. Yes. Yes. Now, I will determine my eternity because of your faith. You lie. You lie. We are so in the futilities of life that we miss the big part of God. Be resilient. How can somebody talk you out of church? I ponder that question in me and I do not have answer. How can somebody talk me out of the presence of God? There is nothing. I stand here as your pastor and I'm declaring this under the anointing of my father. There is no one, nothing. No one, whosoever big, small, short, tall, light, or dark, white, black, purple, red, or blue, or yellow, that can come and tell me, you are out of the presence of God. You lie. You will be out. Not me. You lie. Amen. I know what I want. I know what is best for me. I know why I am here. I am purpose driven. I have a purpose here. I know what I am here for. I'm not here for you. I am here for the breath I am. Hallelujah. We met here Oh, actually when I come, I only see you when I'm here. When I go out, we don't talk to each other. Why would I mind about you? I have my own problem. I need my own solution. Hallelujah. I'm here for that. I'm not here for you. Amen. Yes. Now, you have to know that be persuasive. When you win, you need to be persuasive. Winning is winning. It means the battle will come. You cannot win without the battle. The last one, commit your resources. Amen. You have to commit your resources. In the battle of winning souls, you have to commit your resources. Amen. In the battle of winning souls, you have to commit your resources. Amen. If you do not commit resources, let me tell you this, you are not fighting a battle. A soldier that goes to battle understands that his gun needs to be next to him. Amen. He cannot go to battle without that gun. He knows that I have to have bullets. If I have one round, I need to put two or three because it is a battle. Every day you wake up, you need to understand it is a battle. Amen. Are you with me? Look at your neighbor and say, neighbor, commit your resources. Say, neighbor, neighbor, commit your resources. The resources that I am talking about here is not only money, but I am talking about your skills. Amen. You need to talk to people.
