Ok, let somebody Ok, I can see it now No, you are giving me revelation That is what I asked I said Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 Deuteronomy chapter 1 That is verse 6 When the children of Israel Crossed Red Sea And they were on the other side of the Jordan They relaxed Because the trouble they saw physically Because the trouble they saw physically Was over The Egyptians had been killed There is no trouble again They went on Mount Horeb For your information Mount Horeb is a very significant Place In the journey Of the Israelites The same thing as Mansana Are you getting my point The same mountain Elijah was there So They went there, they were arresting They were arresting Until God called them You have stayed here too long They have made a movement But they are stationary It says They decided to stay there Possibly to rest And become Complacent Even if it is here They can dwell here And God has to call their attention You have stayed here so long And I am calling you this morning I don't know your state Of Christianity God is telling you this morning You have been there for too long You have to move forward God wants you to be higher God wants you to move forward In your life In everything you are doing Don't relax Both in your physical life In your business life You cannot stay In one place for too long It is dangerous The enemy will consume you Praise God Praise God I would have loved Somebody to read that Then The need for Forward moving Let us see Genesis 19 verse 26 Let somebody read that one From the Bible Genesis 19 verse 26 Read it Read it I want you to read it It is here but read it from your Bible I want us to read it Genesis 19 verse 26 Praise God Praise God Who is the scripture referring to? I am Lost Why? There is danger in looking Backwards For us to be a Christian Depending on the stage You repented There are some good good things You have left And when you become A child of God Those good good things They creep in They creep in But instead of looking Forward onto the throne That has been promised to you According to Revelation 3 21 Now you are looking at what you have forgotten Or what you have left The danger is that They reset They reset Hello If you are going back to Egypt If you are looking Back to what you have Left If you are turning to Sodom and Gomorrah There is that There is that Praise God When we were In the university There was one Vibrant young man Very vibrant In deeper life Very very vibrant He was preaching And preaching And preaching What happened to him Later That was amazing We went On semester break He went back to Olumba Olumba And came back And completely Baselided He became A tormentor To Christians on campus Are you getting what I am saying Possibly They could have been He may have been a member of Olumba Olumba Before coming to the university Or they would have promised him something I don't know how he Ended up He was our Junior so I don't know how he Ended up Another one After our own Fellowship A lady very vibrant We went on holidays Before we came We came back After we came back For some fellowship we did not see her All of a sudden We saw her Following a boy Her junior in the university The Our president Cried and cried and cried And cried and cried They declared fasting and prayer To bring the sister back Until we finished The sister did not come back What was she looking for She was looking for marriage She was looking for husband And that man Or that young man Did not marry her Praise God Praise God There were many more instances Looking back When you look back It is dangerous If it doesn't cause death It will cause injury So don't look back Move forward Increasing journey Not everyone can fly All around At the same time But you must not be stationary You must not be stationary But keep moving Keep moving According to your strength If you don't have strength to fly today Only to walk After walking you may gain strength to fly If you don't have the strength to fly To run If you don't have the strength to fly You can run After running you can fly Before the plane starts running It will run first Is it not so Before the plane Flies off It will run on the ground But if the plane is in one place Can it fly It cannot fly And if you cannot run Walk After walking Your leg can get strained You may run You may start running If you cannot run It may be Your leg cannot allow you to walk Crawl Don't be stationary If you are stagnant in one place You may be consumed by the enemy Even when you are wounded When the enemy has wounded you Don't stay put What do I mean by the enemy has wounded you God forbid If you fall into sin You have been wounded Am I right You are no more the same The enemy has wounded you There are many people When they fall into sin The shame will not allow them To come back to the fold But that is not the principle They have been wounded The bible The scripture wants them to come back And they can come back To start crawling Now when somebody is given a back seat It is for him or her To re-examine himself or herself Except if he or she Refuses to repent But God Does not want such a person to perish He wants that person to repent Let him crawl Let him crawl And then come back to walk He may walk through And start running Eventually he can fly After all you see what sin has Becoming pastors Becoming bishops Am I right Don't lose hope Because you have sinned Don't lose hope Because you have sinned Encourage anybody Because the person has sinned Encourage that person to come back That is the journey Praise God Praise God Therefore We must look at the following Increasing race Increasing journey The following ingredients Must be fulfilled Believe Believe who called you That is faith Believe in the Destination He has directed you Trust Him For direction Protection and purpose Set your goals Objectively correct That is why I said Many people have different Purposes or objectives When they come to church You must set your objectives Correct If you are to run a successful Christian race Be motivated by God Not by anything If you are motivated by anything If you are motivated by your father If you are motivated by any friend If you are motivated by anything That person might fail you But be motivated by God God cannot fail you Many people Who were motivated by riches And then they are doing very well Because Things are ok And the motivation is there By the time Things are not working well They go back That is an error Praise God All the previous Efforts made All the commitment made before Everything goes under The drain Move on with the correct Character and identity Very very important You cannot move on Without character And identity Character Now, some of us Or some of you Who have seen on the line You know these boys They are called happy boys These boys they are called happy boys Happy boys Brothers and sisters You don't know them You know them Who have heard about The happy boys here Who have heard about The happy boys Now, the background of these happy boys Is that They were working in a restaurant Something happened I can't remember What happened to them I can't remember It correctly But the important thing is that They were Not a deportation They were They were They were fired They were entertaining In a restaurant Something happened and the owner of the restaurant Fired them And somebody A bishop in a church Decided To sponsor them To go to Cyprus For their Education They went there They started Insulting the bishop Started Insulting the bishop That the bishop Had collected their destiny Started Causing It became a disease This man of God Cried And cursed them They were repatriated Hello Hello Number one thing is that Those people Grace has taken them somewhere But they didn't have the character To sustain it Hello Grace can take you to a place But it is character That will sustain you Are you getting what I am saying I have told you once A story of one young man He was given A very big job In an oil company A very big oil company Whenever he comes Into the office He will use his laptop And be watching pornography And he didn't know that The system was recording That And if you commit An offence In such sophisticated System There is a mark They give to you They record a mark for it You do it for the second time They record a mark For you You do it for the third time At a certain point You have scored a full mark And when you score a full mark The system will cut you off One day This young man was coming to the office He was slotting his ID card For the gate to open The gate couldn't open for him He tried and tried and tried The gate couldn't open for him After some time The security people came And said you are not wanted In this premises That's how he lost the job Grace took him to that oil company But Character Pushed him away Am I right? Again I remember Some time My son went to the US For an acting program His school Was doing that acting program You know With US The US people accepted it I don't know what it is now He went with Other people When they posted him He was working with A school mate The school mate His problem was lateness He was being late Late And when he comes The system will record Anytime he came in The system will record He feared The last point And when he came He put his ID card The The system couldn't open Right from there The security man came Picked him Because they get the hostel They get the accommodation They went to his Accommodation He picked all his things He was repatriated back to Nigeria Hello You know When we are doing certain things As children of God We think that it doesn't have consequences If human beings will be recording things Automatically Know what is happening in heaven God keeping quiet Does not mean That he is accepting He is doing that is wrong Don't allow yourself to be shut out Don't allow yourself to be shut out Praise God Praise God We know That our salvation is by grace But our character Can sustain that grace And make it fruitful That's what I wanted to tell you Again Avoid ungodly influence If You go ahead the race With ungodly Influence Your promotion Your blessing May be delayed God called Abraham And told him Leave your country I will tell you where you will go Abraham obeyed He didn't tell him go with lots But he went with lots Abraham did not realize his blessings Until he separated from lots Is good to do good you know Am I right But Allow God To lead you Do what God has told you to do There are some Good things you do Which will land you into trouble Am I right Do not Have Unwanted Influence around you There are places you are not Supposed to go as a Christian There are people you are not Supposed to follow As a Christian Now my young girls Sorry I want to tell you something Some psychological something Which you might know or you might not know If you are a young girl And A boy Is interested in you Just to follow you You are shutting the door of marriage Because After some time people will think That you have a relationship Are you getting what I am saying And the people that would like To come to you for Married relationship may stay away Are you getting what I am saying Same thing Young men Don't just be following Girls Hopelessly Otherwise On a serious note You may approach a girl for marriage You say No no no no no I don't want I don't want Because you have Go around Seeing girls Follow girls It might be It might be or might not be An intimate relationship Therefore There are still things you cannot do For the sake of the race For the sake of your integrity There are still things you cannot do Or you shouldn't do Praise God Praise God Don't abuse grace I have told you that I gave you example Now finally You ask yourself Who am I We might look briefly About three characters And then We summarize The three characters First a bit of Abraham Because of time I am not going to dwell that The only thing I can tell you is that Abraham Is a symbol of faith and obedience And that is part Of the journey Part of the ingredients of the journey Abraham represents Faith Obedience Faith Obedience Abraham Then we go and look at You might read The calling of Abraham From Genesis chapter 12 Verses 1 to 7 Let us look at Genesis 35 Ok Let us look at Jacob's case Let somebody read Genesis chapter 5 Verses 1 to 7 Genesis 35 Verses 1 to 7 Jacob's journey Hello Genesis 35 Verses 1 to 7 And God said Unto Jacob Arise Go out of Bethel And dwell there And make thee An altar Unto God That appeared Unto thee When thou fled From the face Of Esau thy brother Now If you read That portion of the Bible You will Just note the following Number one There is a calling With instruction Arise and go to Bethel A calling With instruction And there is obedience He obeyed And you mean that Jacob did not go What would have happened to him The plan of God Would have stopped at that point Therefore Obedience Is very vital And if you read If you read Now What is the confirmation What is the confirmation that took place In Jacob's life A change of name And a change of identity A change of name And a change of identity It is suspected that When Any man, any woman Becomes a child Of God The Bible, the scripture says that All things are passed away All things become New It is a transformation process Like Jacob Jacob Became Israel And God Pronounced blessings upon him After the transformation Praise God After the transformation There was a relationship And confidence After the relationship and confidence There was a change of identity And blessings followed That is what it is For children of God And Moses Is the sole character I want to discuss Look at What is surrounding the birth of Moses Moses was a product Of grace Moses was A product of grace If God Did not give Moses grace He would have died Am I right? Look at the circumstances of his birth He would have died He was taken to the river The river did not sweep him away And he did not die Before the daughter of Pharaoh came And the plan The mother set up Worked because of grace And he became a prince A slave Became a prince A slave became a prince That is the Typical of our lives A sinner A chronic sinner like us Who become prince Before God But some people have abused it Moses did not abuse the grace He grew up The mother grew him up And the daughter of Pharaoh Took him What would have happened The daughter of Pharaoh Would have recognized This is where I take him He would have thrown him away At that time They would have known That he was a Jewish boy But he did not abuse the grace Have you abused the grace of God in your life? Repent Don't abuse Don't abuse the grace of God in your life If you are to be A successful Christian And to run the race God has said before you Abuse of grace Abuse of grace Is very very Disruptive Moses did not abuse it And when God watched him God saw That he was a man To be used for the purpose He had planned Praise God Praise God So He had a call from Exodus Chapter 6 Verses 6 to 10 And he was empowered He was empowered God empowered him When God said I have made you a God Over Pharaoh God made him A God over Pharaoh The palace he lived As a slave Or a prince Now he became the master Only God can do such a thing Praise God Praise God In our Christian journey Do not underrate yourself The living God can elevate you You become a master Over your presence I have practically experienced it I have practically Experienced it It is nobody will tell me the story In 1988 I was a cleaner To a group of people Where I wanted to work Because They said I should not be employed They made me a cleaner I was cleaning After 6 months Just 6 months I became their boss I became their boss I am telling you I became their boss I decided their fate I did not punish anybody Neither did I remember It is the Lord's making I did not take it to heart I gave glory to God God can raise you up Moses was raised From a boy of the palace To become a God Of the Palace A God of the king But Do not abuse the grace of God Do not live in sin Praise God Praise God Your present situation Is not the end Your present situation Is not the end Moses faced frustration But with determination He succeeded It was with determination That he led the children of Israel Across the Red Sea Across Jordan Praise God Therefore Moses was a man of character And a man of identity God said He is a man The scripture said that He was the meekest man on earth That was identity My time is up Let me just summarize Praise God Have you been called? What is your response? Have you obeyed God? Respond Christ is knocking at your door today Have you been transformed in character and identity? What is your relationship with God? Is Is there any covenant Or altar You have built for God? What is his current state? Is he broken? Please repair your altar Can you Amend your ways today? And follow God as from today? Are you being pursued by the enemy Of your freedom? Look let me just tell you The Israelites were pursued by the enemies of their freedom And Moses declared Behold Fear you now Stand still See the salvation of the Lord Which he will show you today For the Egyptians Whom you have seen today You shall see them Again no more forever Whoever that is Pursuing you I declare This hour That you will not see them again That enemy of your freedom Shall vanish from your sight You will not see them again You will not see them again You will not see them again Look let me just tell you This is the first Sunday Of November The month is ending We have

not Bread and butter Christian journey Is not bread and butter Or sugar and tea It's a tough one It's a tough one It's a tough one It's a tough one Very tough I remember During the time of Daddy Oyeremba I'm about to go to Bible school So I went to his house to see him We are just discussing I said Daddy I want to ask you a question He said ask I said what is the Hardest thing You have experienced In this ministry He looked at me He said Sam I answered He kept quiet Carried a bottle of Poison in his hands Threw it in his mouth and threw it He looked at me He said you want to know I said yes He said people who have a problem And you pray for them You follow them up And that problem is being Resolved The same people will take knife And stab you at the back So that is the hardest thing And he asked me what do you do If you are the one I couldn't talk Because I'm not mature like now I look at him I said I will fight The person back Shake his head You have to forgive them This is the Journey of Christian Faith People stab you at the back People talk you down Even people you trust Tell you a secret They use your secret against you What will you do You know the message Is a solid message A message that will prepare us For heaven A message that will prepare us For the coming of Jesus It's not a message of go on It's a message we think There are little things We think it matters not It's not a matter of Speaking in tongue and Jumping up and down There are little things We think it doesn't matter That matters a lot Think of your life This journey Where and where am I feeling I need grace I need grace to overcome I need grace to overcome Lord I need grace to overcome As the message was going on I said to Obrafide There is time in our life We have issues You pray to God It seems like heaven lock If you sit here He will not even respond to you You will be looking at the problem Looking at God Then the devil will show up and tell you what to do To go out of that problem Christian journey Is not easy You are out of marriage You see the ugly ones getting married You are beautiful You have a good character And yet husband is not coming And some will tell you they want to test before they marry you Because of this Christianity Because of your faith you say no And you see people That you know That you are better off They are getting married And devil will suggest to you Why can't you drop this Bible and move on Lift your hand towards heaven And say God Help me Help me Help me Help me Lord Help me at the end Of this journey I will be with you Help me Help me Lord Help me I need more grace I need more grace Lord I need more grace Help me Lord Help me Lord Help me Lord Don't allow me to go At the end At the end of this journey I will not be found

the last Seconds Read the Bible you will see about The river of effery is dry up already The Bible says We will hear war and rumors of war If we increase Love of many will Wash cold All these things are happening Before our eyes, yes We are not conscious of his coming Yes, we are not conscious of his coming People think we are talking story Or Jesus is not coming, it's just Bible story It's

somebody beside you as Jesus said Where is he? He is gone He is gone Because you have the knowledge of the word of God You will know rapture have taken place And you are left behind It will not be our portion Please pray If there is any prayer Pray this It's not matter of money It's not matter of building house It's not matter of buying car All these things will let them here and go Look at the war In the far east Jesus predicted it This is the sign of beginning of sorrow All over the world Horrible things are happening Please pray for grace Don't let anything distract you Don't let anything distract you Christian journey is not a sweet one Those who have been in this journey will tell you It's not a sweet one It's not a sweet one Jesus said He that will endure to the end He that will endure to the end He that will endure to the end Endure means there are things that you look at You are supposed to drop them He that will endure to the end This earth shall sit with me in the throne Thank you precious father Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus Give an ear to my words Give an ear to my words O Lord Consider my meditation Consider my meditation Hugging on to the voice of my cry Hugging on to the voice of my cry Hugging on to the voice of my cry My voice shall die here in the morning My voice shall die here in the morning O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord O Lord
