word to say about the app Well we said
at the beginning when God good morning
everybody you're welcome in Jesus name
Look our heart our purpose the reason
why we are here is for our spiritual
growth
We are so grateful to God for the life
of discipline we have learned from
prophet Joshua while we under him
disciple of Christ Sometime we say
disciple of prophet Joshua but he in his
heart we are disciple of Christ why he
want us to embrace God's kind of
lifestyle And I realized that
today what a grace to have lived with
him for 19 to 20 years receiving
discipline of the spirit
I'm telling you my brothers and
sisters we look at the world today a lot
of experience we had today that we
realize that the common problem we all
face all over the world particularly
believers is nothing else but the
character of Christ how to handle
situation how to settle your relation
with God on the solid foundation of his
word by trusting his word how to come to
spiritual maturity because he was a
matured manm M no matter the persecution
where people said they never derail him
from his focus in God when you look at
the life of the apostles of old it
wasn't easy for them they face acts
8:9 terrible persecutions but they
stayed in faith
unwavering Jesus you know next week we
are celebrating Easter
right we should not forget that Easter
was a moment of suffering uffering where
Jesus willingly chose the way of
suffering of the cross not for himself
but for you and
I It wasn't man's way It was God's way
That's the way God's wisdom brought
salvation on the earth to be redeemed
from our past so we can walk in newness
of life in a new covenant of God's grace
The question
is why today when you look all around
the world you see many faith are in
crisis
You see people the faith is no longer
strong Some say ah I'm losing my faith
My faith is challenged and lot of
complain we have about situations lot of
discouragement We can see that people
the fire is no longer there People are
lukewarm They they don't pray But this
is time to be stronger than ever before
What's the cause of that That's the
purpose of this program today And the
purpose of the app as well And the
purpose of the app is to walk on a daily
basis to know how to tackle every
situation of your life because life is
all about
relationship Relationship with God but
relationship in the
community It starts husband and wife
your marriage your parents your friends
your work It's all about relationship
It's all about communication The
question how do we relate with people
How do we relate in our business place
in our working place reflecting Christ
character in us in a victorious way
That's the purpose of this
app That's to grow
spiritually Remember what we said at the
first program that God create you and I
we all know it now Spirit
Soul and body You all know the body We
we become imbrio in our mother's womb
But see how big we are today Function of
time We never do anything We grow as the
tree is growing By the function of time
as time grows
on in our soul in our intellect We grow
by what we learn We learn at school
primary school secondary school Some go
to university You learn in the community
Life is a learning
experience But what about our
spirit How do we grow in the spirit We
grow physically We grow intellectually
by what we learn But how do we grow
physically The only way we can grow
spiritually is by obedience to God
Obedience to God's word That's the only
way Now that's why we are here today
This app on this program is to help
you to practice the presence of God in
your daily basis in a practical way
because you know as well it's also so
useful to have our own platform because
when we have our own platform it means
that we're not restricted in any way um
in what God directs us to say to you So
we can have um one-on-one interactions
with you and and as God put in our heart
we can we can interact with you and that
is what God has put in our heart to to
disciple people to build people with
everything that we've learned during our
journey of uh disciplehip like Rasin
said we're disciples of Jesus under the
ministry of prophet TB Joshua while he
was alive on this earth and that's why
we we want to encourage you to really
become a member of the household of
faith because it's an opportunity for
you to go deeper in your walk walk with
God And if you believe this ministry is
sent to you we see so many people saying
"Oh the Bible teaching is so interesting
It's so good." You know this is what you
need Because what we want to talk about
today is actually how can we be renewed
in our
mind Many of us we live our life as if
we're not living a a victorious life
What do I mean We we we we say we're
Christians We say we believe in Jesus
but we seem to be so consumed with the
natural circumstances around us
that things like fear worry anxiety
control us on a daily basis That is
because we have to renew our mind each
day I want to take us to Romans Romans
12:2 And do not be conformed to this
world but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind that you may prove what is
that good and acceptable and perfect
will of God So why are we talking about
this Because all of us want to know
God's will for our life All of us want
to know how do I know what God wants me
to do on a daily basis How can the Holy
Spirit speak to me And the Holy Spirit
can only speak to you when your mind is
renewed because the Holy Spirit never
bypasses the mind The Holy Spirit speaks
to our mind That's right Speaks to our
heart We learned about the spirit soul
and body last week and I'm sure we'll go
into that again today But we can't
ignore the mind The mind must be renewed
in order to be renewed like our spirit
is renewed When we read the word of God
our spirit is refreshed Our mind is
renewed Remember when we accept Jesus as
our Lord and Savior our spirit is born
again but we need to make sure our mind
is renewed daily And that is why we're
here at the University of God That is
why we're here to seek the spirit of God
We're all students I want to add
something to what she says because we
are getting to the heart of the matter
And I just took my Bible in the book of
Exodus chapter 16 Yesterday you know we
are in a time of prayer and meditation
preparing for the Easter to come It's a
time of sober reflection for every
Christian My mind was
struck by the behavior of the people of
Israel in the
wilderness They have seen the mightiness
of God in the land of Egypt when they
saw how
God did signs and wonders miraculous
signs and wonders to set them free They
have seen the Red Sea opened by God They
have seen the pillar of cloud by day
which was representing the presence of
the angel and they saw the pillar of
fire by night the living presence of God
they saw it
physically But after they left the land
of bondage of
servitude God took them in the journey
in the wilderness for a
purpose What was the purpose We realize
that it does not take long for God to
set us free from trouble one second
But it take years a lifetime for God to
change our behavior our character and to
change our mind
Let me read Exodus chapter 16 verse two
The whole congregation of the children
of Israel complained against Moses and
Aaron in the wilderness
Three The children of Israel said to
them "Oh that we had died by the hand of
the Lord in the land of
Egypt when we sat by the pots of meat
and when we ate bread to the fool for
you have brought us out into the
wilderness to kill this assembly with
hunger." That's a complain I asked
myself why they complain We realize that
the Bible says what happened to them at
that time is a lesson to all of us here
There is a
parallel between the way God rescued
them in Egypt God took them to the
wilderness and the way we experience God
when we are
saved in the Easter night In one night
God stroke all the firstborn of Egypt to
the animals and Pharaoh was shocked and
they sent them away immediately They
released him and they were free from 430
years of bondage and they and they were
free They're supposed to be happy They
saw the goodness of God the greatness of
God in their lives And what happened in
the wilderness God put them to the test
God allowed them to go through the
wilderness for a purpose When you read
your Bible the Bible says God could have
make them pass by the way of the
Philistine which is shorter But God say
no because they will see war If they see
war they will be afraid and they will
run back to Egypt Does it mean God is
not great enough to take them
there That means
simply once we are saved once Jesus
comes into our heart we have the Holy
Spirit Our spirit is free indeed We have
a new conscience We have a new heart set
free and much more We have the presence
of the Holy Spirit abiding in our hearts
Ephesians 3:13 says "Christ dwells in
our heart through faith." So God is with
me So now the question
is we are made right with God in our
spirit That's part that is new We are a
new creation a new heart a new spirit
But this
body this soul this old man is still
there M so there is a conflict between
this old man and a conflict between the
one that is new inside of
me What does it mean This means my the
way I'm I was educated my family
background my culture my tradition and
the lessons I of life my education all
these frame my intellectually So I grow
physically but I grow intellectually
mentally by the lesson for my culture
from universe that form me me talking my
decision my action in the natural but
that does not fit the way of God because
God's ways are not our ways his thoughts
are not our thoughts Isaiah 55 from
verse 1
to8 so now we have Christ in
us what about our relationship in our
family in your marriage in your friends
in your community in your work Where is
Jesus The problem we have is that we
lack consciousness of God's presence in
those
areas Salvation is not just basically a
spiritual rebirth It has to affect my
soul my mind my body and my character
Every area of our life every areas of my
life M now when you see in the book of
act chapter 2 the first disciples of
Jesus after the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit they went they sold their
businesses stop everything their houses
and were living in community why they
were serving God with all their
lives spirit soul and body
why because Christianity is a lifestyle
they serve God not just in spirit by
going to
But in their daily living all their
lives were serving God That's why they
call them disciples of Christ mean they
embrace Christ lifestyle to think like
Jesus to speak like Jesus to act like
Jesus and to manifest Christ likeness in
their community in their relationship in
a physical form right into the world
where we are And it's impossible to do
that without the help of the Holy Spirit
Impossible Why it is impossible Because
man's way are not God's way The way I I
where I come from okay I'm from Africa
you're from UK right We have a lot of
differences It is natural It is normal
to have differences in life But what
makes us one is Christ philosophy What
makes us one is faith I'm talking to
people all all over the world We have
different upbringing but what makes us
born today is Jesus
That reminds me of what Prophet TB
Joshua said when we were disciples He
said "You're not here for any culture
African culture Nigerian culture We're
all here for Christ culture." And that
is what we're here for to learn how to
be like Jesus And it was such an amazing
opportunity to be with people from so
many different backgrounds and so many
different cultures and upbringings but
at the same time our purpose was to
embrace Christ culture And I think the
temptation many many people face today
is to reduce Christianity to a to a code
of ethics Oh to be a good person or to
have some moral value in certain ways
But actually it's to be like Jesus And
we can't remove the Holy Spirit from
that because Jesus promised us the Holy
Spirit would be the comforter to be with
us forever can't obey the written word
or do what Jesus commands us to
do fleshly humanly without the help of
the Holy Spirit We cannot be a disciple
of Jesus without the help of the Holy
Spirit This coming now why God gave us
his spirit We have to repeat and go back
to the
foundation We are too conditioned to
limit the Holy Ghost only to power
healing power prophetic power the gift
of the spirit
But the major theme the major purpose
God Almighty gave you and I his spirit
is to make us sons and daughters of God
And the purpose of the Holy Spirit in
our heart is to develop righteousness
godly character
The fruit of the
spirit
means I don't need to say I'm a
Christian
Let the goodness of God be evident be
seen in the way I speak in the way I
talk in the way I relate with people
People should see something different in
you even in your working place People
should see your kindness the way you
approach things the wisdom of God That's
what God want in your life So how is it
now We are so conditioned to think that
God holy spirit is not only is only for
power for for healing power No it's for
godly character He's our helper That's
why Jesus gave us his spirit
Christianity
is a lifestyle
Faith is a lifestyle of trusting in God
Faith cannot take a day
off A break in faith is a break in
Christ
God want to be with me He want to be
with you every single day But sometime
we hold his hands ourselves
When God led them into the wilderness
God wanted to show them how faithful he
is No man would take you in the
wilderness But God is
sufficient He knew he was able to care
for them to protect them to give them
mana to make water to come from a rock
Exodus 17 If God is able to be with you
in the wilderness how much more when you
are in the town
what God wanted to do is to take them to
a process to discipline
them so they can their mind their way of
thinking will change Their way of
talking will change What is thinking and
and words That is faith
We believe and we speak the word of
faith all the time But faith does not
just happen It is built How can faith
grow We need to grow spiritually We grow
spiritually when we hear and obey God
That's what God wanted That's why in
Deuteronomy 8 verse 1 to2 1 1-4 God say
I make them pass by the wilderness and I
cause you to suffer hunger and thirst to
teach you that man shall not live by
bread alone but every word that comes
from the mouth of the Lord And that is
where the issue is number one for them
And for us today Exodus chapter 15 verse
26 hear what God
says If you diligently heed the voice of
the Lord your God and do what is right
oh my Lord that is the key And do what
is right that means act on the word
This is the problem we have today Yeah
If you diligently heed the voice of the
Lord and do what is right in his
sight This is where the issue is in our
spirit in our conscious We hear the
inner voice of God telling us do this do
that inspiration come But when the mind
is not renewed no it's me it's not God
We refuse to act on it We refuse to act
on it Suggestion is coming intuition is
coming from the Holy Spirit who dwells
in our
heart because they were having the
pillar of cloud We have more than the
pillar of cloud of the Israelite We have
holy spirit in our heart
The spirit of God will tell you wake up
and pray in the night This body
know the Holy Ghost will shake you into
positive action but we resist because
our mind is not renewed We think it is
us It's our own mind It's our own body
That's why we resist
No If God's power can set them free in
one
night God it took 40 years in the
wilderness for God to change their mind
and character
and many of them refuse to believe and
fall into the
wilderness We have the spirit of Jesus
in our
heart But why it is why do we find
people complaining today Because our
mind is not renewed Because our mind is
not renewed We continue like Jesus
rebuked Peter to think like man think to
speak in the old way in the old nature
The Bible say when you are saved never
you think speak or act on the level of
the old life Write that down The minute
you are saved that you receive salvation
from Jesus Never think or talk or act on
the level of your old life That is
that's where the problem is Change your
thoughts and change your words Change
your thought and change your words
Now if I speak in the old nature myself
is talking Ah you I will deal with you I
would do this It's the first talking is
flesh is talking That's why prophet gave
us a prayer Holy spirit take more of me
Give me more of
you when I'm too much of myself
I the one talking It's the soul myself
my mind my will my decision my emotion
is talking
And we air away from God's way And the
flesh will lead us and we begin to act
out of character The question is why our
mind is so disturbed by the things we
see we hear And that is the issue When
God led them in the wilderness they were
thirsty God did it on purpose
Instead of praying God give us water
they
complained Instead of praying to God you
complain to
man God is faithful He knows your
need So in the wilderness anytime they
face situations on the outside they
begin to murmur They want you to stone
mothers to death because of natural
circumstances of life
Today when we are born again we have a
new spirit We have a new soul We have
the Holy Spirit dwelling in us But now
why it is difficult to change my mind
Because my willingness is required by
God Thank you That's the difficulty God
is
finding God demands your faith Uncomp
uncompromising demand for faith That's
how it the uncompromising demand for
faith What they say God wants your
willingness
That's the greatest role you can play If
you are willing to get out of your
problem if you're willing to change your
life if you're willing to really meet
Jesus then the half the job is half done
because Jesus is always willing to meet
you to change you to get you out of your
problem But you have to be willing first
Remember the people that Jesus met where
he asked them "Do you want to get well
Do you want to be free?" Because Jesus
had the power to be able to set them
free immediately but he wanted to hear
their willingness not just from their
mouth but from their heart Remember it's
a heart that Jesus hears Is your heart
willing this morning Is your heart
willing today to get out of your old
life and start living how Jesus wants
you to live Because if your heart is
willing then the job is half done Yes
50% of the battle 50% of the victory We
need to learn the ways of God
Knowing God is not only to see miracles
signs and wonders but to learn his ways
The book of Psalm
103:7 says "God showed his deeds to the
children of Israel
but he showed his ways to
Moses." And that was the big difference
Moses knew the way of the Lord but the
people did not know the way of God
despite all the miracle they saw
When situation happens if you follow the
narrow way of Jesus you will not act on
the situation you will inquire from God
to know Lord what is your mind What is
God's mind on this matter
Isaiah Ruth can you read Isaiah 55 verse
8 We need to learn the way of the Holy
Spirit God has given us the Holy Spirit
We need to develop our relationship with
him We need to cooperate with him
because he wants our
willingness Holy Spirit works with us in
cooperation
Means my will must submit to God's will
before the power of the Holy Ghost is
manifested I
repeat my will your will must submit to
God's will before the power of God can
be manifested to change your
circumstances Let's read Mhm For my
thoughts are not your thoughts nor are
your ways my ways says the Lord For as
the heavens are higher than the earth so
my ways higher than your ways are my
thoughts than your thoughts God say his
thoughts are higher than our thoughts M
when I have thoughts of discouragement
the end has come God say the end has not
come It's just the beginning You say "Oh
it's it's terrible We can't do this We
can't because of your thoughts." God say
"Yes you can do it." That's why he said
to everybody in Jeremiah
29:11 "The thoughts that I have for you
is to prosper you not to harm you to
give you a hope and a future."
Absolutely We need to know the divine
person of the Holy Spirit leading us
When we say disciple we are disciples of
the Holy Spirit
He is the shepherd that leads us today
Jesus said "My sheep shall hear my
voice." John chapter 10 27 Jesus does in
my heart through the person of the Holy
Spirit We should be able to hear the
voice of the Holy Spirit in our heart
We it is time to learn to distinguish
how he speaks to us Whether in thoughts
intimation suggestion or words or dreams
We need to know How do we know It is
possible to know The only way to know is
to yield your heart to
him What do I mean by that That's why
meditation
When trouble come situation come after
you pray go to the secret place of your
heart and begin to meditate
ask the Holy Spirit to help you Ask God
to open the eyes of your faith Begin to
look for him Seek him in your heart
diligently
and then the way he answers you he will
give you a thought can come to your
conscious to your mind if your conscious
is alert Okay Now let me come back to
that graphic a bit So to to make it more
God say he made me with a
spirit This is soul This is
you and this is your physical body Three
parts God gave us right We have seen
this one grow in time This one grow when
you when you study this one But this one
can only
grow when you hear the Holy Spirit here
in your heart in the spirit The question
we have today is this section of our
lives Let me move down
gently Good
Yes Now we are here
Okay This is your
body This one Go
ahead This is your natural human body We
all have And this is the one that is
relationship with the world Who Your
father your mom your friends your work
and everything you do in relationship
here in the world This our
responsibility The question we have we
tend to forget that faith God we are
conditioned to think God is not
interested by this one and that's a big
mistake The Bible says this is our
relationship with God Is this our
relationship with man This is
responsibility towards God in the
spirit and this is in the
natural in the world this side And this
now we have a separation between the two
This is this side is your spiritual side
Your spirit and your soul This part is
your
body Now the question is here is the
trouble we face We always separate in
our mind in our in this thinking You
think that God is not concerned about
this It's a big
mistake God is concerned about this This
section
here is your belief in God You believe
in God This is your conscience This is
the spirit of God Holy Spirit speak to
you here and give you inspiration give
you revelation So when you are praying
because you have situation
here when you pray in your heart without
making any noise something will prompt
your mind here your conscience This is
your
conscience This is where the will of God
is This is where the mind of God is This
is where solution comes But if you look
at the natural we forget this
So what did God did to help them in the
wilderness God allow the physical
presence of the cloud to give them focus
in God When they look at the cloud ah
God is here Oh not afraid In the night
they saw the light God is here in our
midst So they were looking visibly at
the presence of God So they would not be
afraid They focus with that But today as
Christian we can't do that anymore We
have the Holy Spirit here in our heart
We have our conscious with the
communication point contact point We
have to learn to listen to the inner
voice here in our
heart Now here this section now is where
we have
problem
physically our soul This is our mind
This is our decision This is our
will Our emotions Everything is
here emotions And this one is influenced
by this one
When they were in the wilderness they
were
thirsty and their mind begin to think
wrongly Anytime your mind here think
negatively you are out of faith Anytime
your mind think negatively based on
circumstances you get out of faith Why
Because you begin to doubt the goodness
of God here Whatever God says here this
one contradict it Anytime something good
come from your conscious revelation
something contrary come to your mind to
say no that's why Satan did if God say
oh go to America a voice say no don't go
it's you go say do this a voice say no
is it from God contradiction so there's
a battle between revelation here and
sense knowledge here which one do you
follow we have this is our trouble this
is our greatest enemy
The mind the mind and the thinking
My god we exercise our will through our
mind This mind is the one that controls
our body through the
brain Okay we talk We saw an advert Very
nice food H Ruth I want to eat this food
Let's go and buy it Is this mind Okay

give thanks to God While I'm driving I
keep meditating listen to wisdom and
meditate as I'm driving to go to my work
I'm going with God When I come I greet
my colleague I give everybody I s I ask
God to give me wisdom how to handle
situation my job mean in my heart When
I'm talking to people in the natural
this one is another channel in your
spirit Nobody knows you are praying
Whatever task you face in your office do
you pray Do you pray for your boss in
your heart Do you pray for the company
Do you pray for God to give you wisdom
How to handle this meeting How to handle
your decision Because you are the
manager how to handle human being You
pray When you pray you involve God and
you'll be surprised to see what God will
do
You can see you can involve God in every
section of your life That's what renew
your mind You have an effort to pay Your
willingness is there You have to
practice the presence of God in a
practical way deep inside of you in your
heart the consciousness of God the
presence of God Anywhere you
go if you do that your mind will never
be disconnected from the things of God
If my heart by meditating and my mind
are soaked with the word of God I will
speak the word of word of life here I
will speak right and act right because I
think right That's why the first thought
in the morning and the last one before
you sleep is so important because we're
going on a journey and we're coming from
a journey Um when we when we sleep we're
going on a journey So that is why what
you do before sleeping is so important
What you think in the same way the
thought when you wake up is very
important That's why like Rasine said
you know you're going to be connected to
the presence of God if you make sure
those first thoughts and those last
thoughts are all about Jesus Your
thoughts are the seed of your life
Your thoughts are the seed of your life
Your
life will always go to the level of your
thoughts
Your
belief depends on the level of your
thoughts If you meditate on God's word
it develops in your heart and belief
increases deep inside of you If you
speak the word of faith your faith
increases That's why the Bible says the
if you think negatively you are bound to
talk negatively Out of the abundance of
your heart of your thinking the mouth
will speak So what you have to do now
the first battle we have if you must do
anything think
first before you act on what you see
before you act on what you hear pray in
your heart for God's intervention Go to
your father Involve God in prayer in
your heart When you have God ability
will come from God Jesus will walk you
through all the circumstances of life So
now how do I discipline myself to think
right How can I think positively Ruth
I'm asking you
How can I think right The only way you
can train yourself to think right is by
reading and meditating on the word of
God Because it's like we've talked about
this before When you're drinking water
the water has to go down When you're
drinking water it can't come up again It
it's going down in your throat and it
will go through your body where where it
needs to go But you have to drink that
water first In the same way when you
read the word of God for salvation's
sake and you meditate on that word then
the word will affect your words and
affect your thoughts because it it it
has nowhere else to go It's definitely
going to go to your heart It will It's
like it it's it's going to go to your
heart So disciples mean you have to
educate your mind with the word of God
You have to discipline your mind by
meditating on the word of God You have
to train yourself Train your mind Okay
The Bible says they were serving God
with their life How do you believe With
our heart this we believe God right But
with our
body we give ourself to God as a living
sacrifice That's what she was reading
This body need to be
crucified This man and body need to be
disciplined to submit to hear the
revelation of God How do we do that When
you read the Bible when you meditate on
the Bible you speak God's word over your
life When you meditate the word dominate
first here your conscience and then he
will affect your mind You will begin to
see things differently You begin to see
from God's point of view If God give you
a message and this message is a way out
and you don't hear it you cannot act on
it But Holy Spirit come if you submit to
God and that is the issue How do we
submit to God But go to your prayer room
Start by your knees Open your mouth to
God Begin to pray That's the greatest
way to submit to God That's why you pray
It's not something complicated And we
pray believing that God is absolutely
listening to us Prayer is not just
saying words into the air Yeah As you
run to man for help If you believe God
is real begin to pray Begin to pray and
meditate This is stuff Lord help me
Meditate in your heart Before you
realize it a scripture will come to your
heart When you begin to speak that
scripture Holy Ghost will begin to give
strength to your spirit to your soul and
to your body And that is the faith
you're talking about So this is belief
When revelation come revelation come
tell you this is the dream You get out
of the situation He will give you
understanding and give you conviction
You believe deep in your heart the
solution is coming God has spoken to me
And now what happen Your mind will
change because you understand the
purpose of God in the matter You will
see that God is alive He's talking to
you It's only when we understand what
God says here This mind is changed is
renewed when we understand the will of
God in our
life and get the
money Jesus took decision to go to the
cross
and Jesus said "Father if it is possible
let this cup pass by This is our minds
will not my will Let your will be done
This will exercise our own will our own
decision with our mind based on the
information we get But our prayer not my
will Let the will of God be done here
Holy Spirit help me This is why we have
the Holy Spirit here This is the Holy
Spirit When we face trial and difficult
situation God is there He never changes
He's there forever with you He will
never move one second He will never
abound one second The problem we have we
are the one that abound on
this So when God say in numbers chapter
4 enter the promised land and conquer
and they saw giant what did they say
We cannot No we cannot These are more
powerful They will destroy They're
bigger than them They begin to see the
giant bigger than God And they were
afraid because of what this mind and the
senses what they saw here They forgot
here that God was
here Jose Joshua and Kalev go and read
numbers chapter 14 God said because
Joshua have a different heart a
different mind he never forgot me He
will enter the promised land But every
person who allows circumstance to
disturb you to speak negatively against
God they never enter the promised land
Someone's asking a question I don't know
how to balance between my job and
spending more time with God Okay good
question What is his name Yeah Um Lydia
I think it's a very important thing to
address Okay Lydia I thank you for this
question This is where the problem is
Sometime we only believe that spiritual
and natural are separated And that's the
mistake we made Mhm We are on in the
spirit when we go to church Immediately
leave the church we are off We go to the
natural and we and we begin to use our
own human effort There is no separation
my dear sister That's the question What
you call balance Balance mean work as if
everything depends on you And while you
are working pray in your heart as if
everything depends on God
You sing I sing as if everything depend
on me But in my heart I pray as if
everything depends on God I include God
in my work I include God in everything I
do I ask God give me strength to work I
become a worker with a difference Yeah
that's one thing I wanted to share You
know from my experience um in all those
years of training with Prophet TB Joshua
a majority of that time a lot of that
time was spent doing different type of
work what we worked very hard and that
work it was for a purpose What I mean is
oh my god what I mean is it's not as if
we spend 24/7 you know kind
of in in deep prayer and Bible reading
and you know that work was to train our
character and also there's something he
told us you know to arrest our heart
because when you're working for God's
sake everything you do like Rasian said
you're doing it for God's sake Whatever
you do you do it well Whatever is not
done well is not done at all So whatever
you do you do it for God's sake Your
work you're doing it for God's sake The
things in the house you're doing it for
God's sake The things with your children
you're doing it for God's sake
Everything you do you do it for God's
sake to please God And in the midst of
those daily challenges that happens when
we work it's a way for the character of
Jesus to be to be seen in us It's when
your hatred is provoked that you can
respond in love It's when your
impatience is provoked that your
patience can can grow that your
endurance can grow So I just wanted to
encourage you because you know an idle
mind is a devil's workshop You know what
do I mean by that You know if if if if
you say you just want to spend your time
doing uh no work and you just want to
pray all the time you know we it's in
the midst of our challenges in life that
most some of that comes with work that
we can actually glorify God in that that
we can reflect the image of Jesus Christ
in us in community in in uh
confrontation in challenges in life
struggles and ups and downs That's when
we know we do it with Jesus We don't do
it alone I want to start with the you
say my job when before you apply for job
did you pray for God to guide you to
give you a good job to favor you If you
pray anytime I tell you the believer
when you apply for job don't just apply
send the application to me I will stand
in prayer for you So we want to do the
will of God We want to go to the right
place in the right moment We involve God
on every section of our lives Now you
are talking about balance between your
work and prayer Let me read the book of
Deuteronomy chapter 8 for you from verse
17 God
said "Do when you say in your heart my
power and my might of my hand have
gained me this wealth."
And you shall remember the Lord your God
May in your work remember God who give
you brain who give you heartbeat who
give you health to do the work you do
It's God that strengthen you If you're
intelligent who give you intelligence It
is God If you're smart who give you that
It is God When you do it without
complaining with joy you're doing it for
God No You shall remember the Lord your
God for he he is he who gives you power
to get wealth
He's the one that give you intelligence
and knowledge that he may establish his
covenant with you This is what we need
to understand There's anointing of God
for your work There's anointing for
spiritual things Anointing for your
marriage Anointing is supernatural
ability to excel to be a worker with a
difference to succeed whether you are a
lawyer lawyer there's no difference
between God and your natural things God
want to be involved in every section of
your life that is why the balance you're
talking about there's no separation
between the two as I work with all my
strength with all my knowledge
intellectual I pray for God's guidance
because sometimes you walk but tomorrow
who knows happen tomorrow Ask God to
give you wisdom
You need wisdom in your work Ask God to
give you expression to know how to
address issues at work How to be if
you're a manager you know how to talk to
people you know have idea you have
insight It's
God That is why God want you to exercise
that faith here in the outside in your
work as well because this where the
fruit of the spirit be revealed
This section between you and God here is
belief But this section is faith Faith
is expressed on the outside By faith you
show God in your working
place By faith you show God in your
marriage By faith you show God in
everything you do You show the character
of God the fruit of the spirit Can you
break that down You mentioned that from
here it's belief and this side is is
faith That's that's interesting because
it reminds me of the message where you
talked about the difference between
belief and faith Belief being the root
Okay So can you just break that down for
people Okay Let's go to Isaiah 37:31 If
I could
remember go to Isaiah
37:31 It's important to understand what
we are saying The difference between
your spiritual side and your physical
side Mhm Your spiritual side is your
relationship with God That's what we
call belief God will give you a
revelation in your heart in your spirit
Right
Yes Isaiah 37:31 Yes What does it say
And the remnant who have escaped of the
house of Judah shall again take root
downward and bear fruit upward Say it
again Take root downward And what Bear
fruit upward What does this
mean You bear fruit
downward You what You bear what You grow
downward Yeah You take root downward and
bear fruit upward Does it mean the root
of a tree are down inside the ground
Deep inside
But the fruit is that upward mean upward
outside You see the fruit This is a tree
When you see a tree when the root are
big the the tree stands If the root does
not grow the tree can fall Right M so
when faith grows downward and upward
mean faith grow inside and
outside in your heart inside is here in
your heart in your spirit deep inside of
you is belief is belief mean the Bible
say the word is in your heart and in
your mouth in your heart in your spirit
you believe God this is where you
believe God in your conscious in your
heart this is where faith belief is
belief when revelation come you
understand it and you believe with your
heart This one is between you and God It
is dominant No man can see it That's why
here you can pray in the spirit and
nobody hears you You can pray in your
office Nobody hears you It is your
spirit praying to God It is belief But
now on the
outside you express that belief on the
outside here that is faith How do we
express outside the fruit of the spirit
The quality of your soul need to change
when the holy no that's thank you we we
we touched on that briefly last week we
said it's a change not in the substance
of the soul but in the quality of the
soul can you just break that down for us
to okay for people to understand what
that means because we we we looked at
the issue of what the soul is we looked
at that last week and we talking about
wanting a change and the change is not
in the in the substance of the soul but
in the quality of the soul what does
that mean okay The Holy Spirit uses
God's word here the revelation to act
upon your soul to renew your mind to
produce the virtues of a Christian
character Absolutely So okay I'm afraid
because this this mind is affected by
situation They say you have a dead
disease Dead disease You're going to die
The mind begin to worry When the mind
begin to think negative what happened to
soul Depression here
Emotions We are worried because what we
see here But if God give you dream and
say hey you're going to be healed
tomorrow This is what Holy Ghost say you
will not die you will live If now Holy
Spirit give you understanding of this
revelation in your mind
your mind is immediately change hey I
will not die I will leave God God God
has spoken I receive a prophecy Oh my
mind is renewed What happen Peace will
take over Fear will go So it will affect
the emotions in your soul Absolutely
This mean the outrage of faith affect
your thinking your emotion your
character Mean the fruit of the spirit
begin to develop here Faith is fruit of
the spirit plus belief This is believe
Fruit of the spirit Go to Ephesians 4:22
Now you will understand better what I
said This body is our mouth Here we
confess with Jesus in the natural in the
midst of people Yes That you put off
concerning your former conduct The old
man Put off the old man Who is the old
man The enslaved the tradition the
character the intellect I had before My
way of thinking which was in the world
My way of talking which was out of faith
All this has changed I must think in
faith speak in faith and act of faith
and live in faith Go concerning your
former conduct the old man which grows
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts
And be renewed in the spirit of your
mind Be renewed in the spirit of your
mind Mean your thinking will have
changed Don't think like man think Think
like God thinks here It's not what your
situation affect your mind negatively
but what God is positive thinking
because God has spoken And that you put
on the new man You put on the new man
which was created according to God in
true righteousness and holiness Thank
you so much God give you in blue a new
spirit a new salvation But the old man
need to be renewed I put on the new man
mean my character might just change my
my my the way I talk the way I speak
must reflect my belief in Christ And
that's what it means by changing the
quality of the soul Absolutely Mean the
change Why Because the fruit of the
spirit So it's the fruit of the spirit
that will change the quality of your
soul That's called divi mean Christ
character Christ likeness divine
gentleness goodness self-control love
faith humility Absolutely People can
provoke you insult you you're speaking
gently because of the fruit of the
spirit The fruit of the we show God by
faith on the outside through the fruit
of the spirit You show that God by the
way you speak by the way you talk by you
would act that Christ is living inside
of you you have holy spirit That's why I
say by the fruit you will know them The
fruit that grow on the outside that is
visible by faith mean you speak you act
and this matches Christ likeness You
behave like a Christian You talk like a
Christian You don't seek the way people
speak You don't talk the way people talk
We see there's a difference in this man
And God we we should not only know our
belief inside of us We should show our
faith on the outside by the way we speak
because we may be the only Bible that
some people ever read When we when they
read our life they should see Jesus in
us This mean our character only our
character here on the outside can
testify that we are Christian godly
character mean salvation is once but
Christ likeness is forever
to be like Jesus it takes discipline
that's why we call disciple of the Holy
Spirit we grow in knowledge we grow in
love every single day of our lives when
you look at the life of Paul in the
beginning at the end the spirit the
fruit of the spirit begin to Bro can you
go to Galatians Galatians chapter 5
verse
23 Our mind plays a great role in
everything we do This mind the unrenewed
mind can block the revelation of God But
the fruit of the spirit is love joy
peace longsuffering kindness goodness
faithfulness gentleness self-control
Against such there is no love Let me
take one by one Joy love that No joy You
can have joy whereas there's nothing to
have joy about
Joy is a fruit of faith People are
crying That's the end That's the end God
say "My son I'm talking to you Nothing
will happen to you I'm in control Hey
thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus." Nobody
know why you say thank you God has
spoken to your heart Yeah It's not
created happiness It's real joy At the
Red Sea people look at Pharaoh Pharaoh
and the soldiers and they were
overwhelmed with fear M hey we're going
to die Moses say please be quiet this
Egyptians you see you will see them no
more why because the mind of Moses was
renewal because he knew God's purpose on
the mind deep inside his
heart when you have revelation in your
heart by the Holy Spirit Holy Ghost g
revelation here in your mind that
revelation would change everything in
your life that's why even peace Jesus
said the peace not as the world gives if
everybody tremble you are peaceful and
calm the way this man is calm
That's the peace of heart the peace of
mind the peace of conscience that Jesus
gave you And that is our inheritance
Everybody was scattered Moses was calm
calculated and
determined That's the peace of Holy
Spirit You don't act out of character
They insult you They say you are a demon
You are this You keep quiet That's what
Jesus was quiet like a dove John chapter
8 they say "Hey you are you are this You
are a demon." They said to Jesus "You
cast out demon by Belus." Jesus kept
quiet
Self continuing longsuffering What is
longsuffering Longsuffering people
continue to insult you to mistreat you
but you don't reject them Calm you
endure Endurance Yeah I think it's a
virtue that's seldom celebrated today
And it's really a virtue of the Holy
Spirit You can see it is difficult to do
this without the power of Holy Spirit
All this character of
God that we call the quality of the soul
by the power of the Holy Spirit That's
the character of Jesus Contindness
Kindness What is kindness People are
rude to you You treat me like this I I
scam You just come You treat the person
kindly You come Yeah I think kindness is
a word that's been very misused in
today's society You know we see it as
compassion and being led by feelings in
a way that's very human But actually
kindness it it takes faith to be truly
kind That means that you want the best
for other people Don't you Yes And you
actually uh Yeah You you you want to see
justice done and you want the best for
them You want them to grow with Jesus
You don't take advantage of people Mhm
goodness faithfulness gentleness
self-control
Gentleness self-control and faith That's
what I talk about by faith Faithfulness
mean no matter what happen you will
never deny Jesus You will never deny
your faith Your faith is expressed by
the fruit of the spirit So you are a
Christian They insult you You keep quiet
M Steven in the midst of life he said
father forgive them they don't know what
they doing nobody can shake you to act
after character you behave like Jesus
would have behaved that's the fruit of
the spirit that's faith not only we
believe in God we show God by the way we
behave in the midst of people that's the
fruit of the spirit the quality of your
soul being changed the holy ghost will
give you a new character with this
strength and power you begin to love
unconditionally you begin to pray for
your enemy Something is growing inside
of you that you cannot control That's
the character of God That's the gift of
righteousness Amen And it should grow
every single day So every day we're
getting older physically but are we
growing in our in our character Our
character should grow in patience grow
in love grow in wisdom all these things
That's that's what we're talking about
The change in the quality of our soul
And that is what we should aspire to as
disciples of Jesus We're on this journey
And that is what we should aspire to a
change in the quality of our soul to be
more situation will happen What do you
do Run to your father Galatians chapter
5 23 Listen to what Paul said Listen
Gentleness self-control Against such
there is no law Continue And those who
are Christs have crucified the flesh
That is it with its passions and desires
You have to crucify this flesh
How do I crucify my flesh By dominating
my senses It is not what I see that
controls me but faith controls me That
means our mind should be our servant not
our master Thank you for saying that How
can your mind be your servant Don't
allow your thought to lead you Ask the
Holy Ghost thought to lead you and your
thoughts submit to God's will That's why
we are pulling God to our mind Lord give
me food because you're hungry Lord heal
me because I'm sick Instead of bringing
oursel to God's mind Exactly By asking
God what is your will in the matter We
try and pull God to our mind That is it
So you can see that we crucify the flesh
How do we do that Let's go to Romans
chapter 8 verse 13 You can see it's the
Holy Ghost that help us to dominate our
flesh to dominate our behavior to
dominate anger not to react Jesus say if
okay your enemy wants your response If
you insult your enemy you are like him
There's no difference And believe me the
hardest thing to do is not to respond
That is it It it takes the Holy Spirit
for you to not respond when provoked
Okay Okay Romans 8 verse 13 13 For if
you live according to the flesh you will
die But if by the spirit you put to
death the deeds of the body you will
live by the spirit you put unto death
the deeds of the What does it mean With
the help of the Holy Spirit here with
the help of his strength and revelation
you refuse to act out of character
You control your body We have to control
our body and our mind It's not every
thought you follow Find out whether it's
from God or not It's not every dream you
listen to Is it from God or from your
mind Because this mind is like a
photography It will record You have
dream When your mind is too tired you
can have dream from you Don't be carried
away by what people say Inquire from God
in your heart That's why this mind has
to be the servant of your conscience
Your conscious must control your soul
and not the not your mind control your
faith That's what it means to take
captive every thought
Yes The battle we face is with our
thinking The Bible say we bring every
thought into captivity of Christ How
submission to the will of God in in in a
nutshell pray at all times That's why
the Bible say if you are in the spirit
walk in the spirit Continue
reading If you go to Galatians back
sorry I'm taking you back over By the
Holy Ghost with the strength he will
help me to behave well by the fruit of
the spirit Love begin to grow He will
help me to be self-controlled He will
help me to speak love to speak wisely If
we live in the spirit let us also walk
in the spirit Let us not become
conceited provoking one another envying
one another Mhm Brethren if a man is
overtaken in any trespass you who are
spiritual restore such a one in a spirit
of gentleness considering yourself lest
you also be tempted That's spiritual
spiritual spiritual spiritually minded
person This mind must be made spiritual
How revelation come It will refresh your
mind God's word refreshes our mind Our
mind is renewed when we understand the
will of God in the matter M that's when
we have peace when you don't know the
mind of God in the matter you are
worried you panic but if God speak to
you his mind on the matter you be quiet
Moses understood that God took them by
the Red Sea to glorify his his name by
making the miracle by opening the Red
Sea he saw it he was come but the people
did not know and they panicked that's
why when the Holy Spirit come we will
give us revelation what is revelation a
dream that give you the way out The
solution is coming God is with you Fear
not I am with you That is God for you
What do you know God is with you You
have peace Peace comes because of the
knowledge that God is with me That
you're not alone How do you know that
God is with you You listen the inner
voice of the Holy Spirit My God The day
you are in the
fire and you hear the small voice
speaking to
you Oh my Lord Last year we had a
terrible situation Everybody knows we
pray While I pray all of a sudden a
voice came to my heart I said God say
he's in control He will preserve us for
the temptation coming through all the
world I know he was God I said glory be
to God He has spoken
You need to listen to your conscience
That's the problem Don't listen to these
thoughts
Let this mind become the ser your
servant You are the spirit Don't don't
be carried away by this body
Your mind must be trained must be
educated to listen to the word of God in
your heart That's why you should examine
everything in the light of God's word We
need revelation in our heart We need
spiritual understanding of the Holy
Spirit When Paul was having the thorn in
his flesh it was painful He went to God
Lord help me help me help me Jesus kept
quiet three times and God say my grace
is sufficient for you At that moment
Paul understood that God was in control
He allowed this to happen for a purpose
and he stopped worrying His mind changed
He has peace He was calm That's why a
man of faith can be happy in the midst
of poverty because he knew this poverty
will not last long because his mind is
renewed So if you're watching today and
you realize like some people have sent
us a comment that now I know that it's
in my mind that the devil's attacking me
Remember once you identify the problem
it's half half done Because if you're
willing to get out of that problem right
now get ready because we want your mind
to be renewed I don't have time for
certain but I have to tell you his
tactics Many of the negative thoughts
you have come from him He want to block
your faith to doubt
Sin is engineered by negative thoughts
that Satan put into your mind your brain
to doubt the goodness of God in your
heart If make you things see things in a
bad light that is Satan to provoke
negative thoughts in situation or people
speak badly to you and you begin to
think about it Sometime if somebody is
is in a situation the person will just
look at the
wall and say "Hey the person jump he's
gone His mind is gone." Many times you
say it to
me sometime I look at you I say where
did you go I said where did you
travel you can be with your with your
wife and all of a sudden you look at him
he's absent you are talking said what
did I say she not able to say what you
said because the spirit was not here you
can be here your spirit can be in the
far end of the world you can see how the
mind is powerful
when the mind is overwhelmed you don't
know even where you are you can hear
nothing your focus is gone and Satan
took off your mind Don't allow this to
happen Bring your mind back Capture your
thought That's why Jesus rebuked Peter
Get behind me Satan You think like man
not like God Jesus knew the cross was a
revelation of God's will to save human
being That was the purpose of God in the
matter He went to the cross and obeyed
and submit to the will of God and be
crucified Emanuel said "I'm totally
healed by your teaching I was in pain
Now I'm in peace." You know this is the
importance of the word of God Someone
else before said that they as they were
listening to this message they were
manifesting You know it's the word of
God that heals It's the word of God that
delivers It's the word of God that saves
So when the word comes from the Holy
Spirit and goes straight into your heart
that's when changes take place Thank you
So please learn to rebuke Satan by the
word of faith Now let me give you one
one one
one clue I will give you I practice in
my life Sometimes you facing a situation
that's not easy The mind is so overtaken
by negative thoughts but you cannot read
the Bible You cannot hear anything What
do you do Take your Bible read it
loudly not silently
Loudly Why do you read loudly If you
read it loudly you capture your ear The
two powerful senses we have is this one
sight and hearing This is the one we use
99% of our relationship is sight and
hearing If I don't hear Ruth I have no
answer But I see her These one are the
most powerful one that direct our life
What we see what we hear So when you
read the Bible you capture your eyes But
this thing when you speak Jesus is Lord
you hear it here You capture your
thinking So read it loud When you read
aloud you remember what you read By
doing it loud you you are training
yourself to speak right to think right
and to act right Before you realize it
your mind is refreshed Read the Bible
aloud when you're alone and listen to
what you're reading That will help you
to first begin to discipline your mouth
and your mind and your thought And
before you realize you remember what you
are
saying There are many songs we repeat
right Because we hear the song oh Lord
we sing this afterwards The song become
spontaneous in your heart when you sleep
at night That's the same That's why God
says Joshua read the aloud They know the
secret of speaking the Bible aloud
Prophet Yeshua gave you a lesson to me
and you read slowly attentively
repeatedly What he was saying mean when
the where the the scripture is personal
insight your name where the message is
personal Where the message is personal
In the Bible say when you read your
Bible be oh my
God When you read your Bible I can say
the great majority of time God is
speaking to me through the Bible When I
read a verse the verse say I can do all
things through Christ I say I rest I can
do all things through Jesus Christ who
strengthen me Jesus is my strength and I
confess it I appropate the word in my
life I live by it You put your name and
speak it louder at the hearing of your
mind of your ears of your heart If the
word dominate your spirit it dominate
your mind Before you realize it your
mind is renewed and refreshed Amen So
make sure you write that key down The
most powerful senses are our eyes and
our ears This is what actually rules our
life So make sure when we read the Bible
we don't just read it silently We also
read it aloud Because when we read it
aloud we're training our ears to listen
to the word of God not just our eyes to
see the word of God And in that way when
we listen to the word of God audibly
it'll sink into our spirits and our
heart and would change the way we live
our life and our mind is renewed So make
sure you do that When you read aloud
you're training yourself to think right
because your mind is refreshed Your ear
is refreshed You capture your thought
You capture your word Speak only what
God says There is a mystery of speaking
the word of God to yourself loudly Amen
You attract God's presence in Jesus name
Thank you Thank you so much for joining
us on today's podcast all about renewing
the mind And we believe that your mind
has been renewed as you've been
listening with your ears to the word of
God explained by the revelation of the
Holy Spirit And also you've watched us
with your eyes as well So we believe
that everything has gone into your heart
And remember we can't understand the
word of God or obey it without the help
of the Holy Spirit So make sure you
continue to ask the Holy Spirit to help
you to take more of you and give you
more of him Jesus said if your eye
causes you to fall sin to sin Yeah Plug
it off Yeah If the hand causes to fall
cut it off What does it mean If you're
looking something encourage your faith
negative thought stop watching it That's
what it means If you're doing something
there's no good for you Stop it
If you if you're weak you got some when
your faith is weak That's what happened
to them in the wilderness because their
faith was weak They were learning to get
faith That's why they they were
murmuring every day But if you are
strong in the faith you will not murmur
You will stay put get used to the
situation and walk victoriously because
Jesus is with you Amen Amen So very soon

day the prophet was saying that a father
may have many children right some
children where he stay far someone to be
closer to know more that's our attitude
towards Jesus do you sit at the back in
the class or at the front that is it
Jesus has 12 disciples but there was one
who always put his head in the heart of
Jesus apostle John John wanted to learn
from Jesus more than anybody else and
that's why John's gospel is so full of
revelation as you can see God give him
the gospel of John the most spiritual
First John sec second and third and the
book of revelation Why Because intimacy
with God brings revelation It's so up to
you God is waiting for you If you come
