Affirmations Of Wholeness
SPEAKER_00Living in physical form. I am wonderfully made. I am valuable. I am perfect. I am unique. There's nothing that needs to be added into my life. Everything that God wanted me to have to fulfill my purpose is inside me. There's nothing that I'm missing. He created me absolutely complete the way I am. It doesn't need to be add anything or subtract anything. And you don't have to be like your neighbor. You don't have to be like your friends. God created you the way you are to accomplish his purpose. And there's nothing missing. Say amen to that. God's divine plan is for me to be connected in a loving relationship with him and all living things. I'm not late. There's a reason behind everything that has happened in my life up to this moment. I may not fully understand it, but I choose to trust God. He knows what he's doing. He created us, he knew us before we appeared in this world. He has a great plan for us and is in total control. Some things that he does, we may not understand, we may not advance us, but we decide and choose to put our total trust in him.

Mantras For Strength In Christ
SPEAKER_00to that. As you are mantras, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. We declare with Paul and there are many others you can add in here. We declare with God we can do all things through Christ, who strengthens us. Even this month shall come to pass. Uh, the year 2026 is going to come and go. Not because of our own strength, but through Christ who strengthens us. And even these challenges that we are facing as a nation, the things that we are seeing in our schools, things that need to change. We declare that we can do all things through Christ. Who indeed strengthens us. And how much of his strength we need this morning, that's the strength that you need. That is all you need. You need the strength that comes from Christ to be able to deal with the challenges that stand in front of you this morning. And may that be your portion. I'm living on purpose. I am on schedule. Say amen. Amen.
Spiritual Power Means Letting Go
SPEAKER_00That our key truths: uh, power in the physical world is measured by how much you can lift up, but in the spiritual world, power is measured by how much you can let go. And this is the challenge. We seek to let go of things. We seek to let go of things that the enemy throws at us every day. The enemy is trying to get into us, he's getting us hurt, he's getting us discouraged, is getting us, you know, you know, feeling down. Those are the things that he manifests in our in the ones, those are things that he pushes in our way. But we keep letting go. Letting go. We allow nothing to stick. You know, we've got this nanstick, um, you know, um uh saucepans that nothing sticks in it. You throw it, it just gets up. Nothing sticks in. Let us become nanstick, nans Christians. Nothing sticks on us. The enemy throws it at us, we let go, we let go. We shall be powerful, we shall uh do great things for Christ uh when we can live nanstick. Say amen to that.
Generosity That Brings Blessing
SPEAKER_00Uh, balance mentality, we remind ourselves um about the power of generosity and especially giving to the poor and those who are around us who are hurting. Um give generously to them and do so without grudging heart. Then, because of this, the Lord your God will bless you, will bless all your work, and and will God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. I pray this morning. Anything you're going to put your hand to shall be blessed. That presentation shall be blessed. That meeting shall be blessed because your hand is on it. That transaction will come through, that deal will come through because your hand is on it and you are blessed. Anything you put your hand in, where there is strife and conflict, you arrive there, and everything is because you are blessed, it shall end well. We this world will be a better place because we are here and God's blessing is upon us. Say amen to that. Hallelujah. What a powerful promise.
Seeking God First For Provision
SPEAKER_00Uh, key verses again that we remind ourselves here, but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6 33 is like our memory first here. And we are saying, Let's seek his kingdom, brethren. Let us not get tired, let's continue to seek his kingdom and his righteousness. You know, seeking is a very positive word. You are making an effort, you are not being looked after, you are making an effort. We are we are after God. The Bible says when Samuel uh was being sent by God to look for a king, and the Bible says God told him, I have found someone whose heart is after me. I have found somebody whose heart is after me. God is looking for people whose hearts are after him. You know, people that don't have to be looked for, or don't have to be chased around. You are you are in motion for Christ. You are seeking him, and you are there desiring his presence, desiring his fellowship, desiring his fellowship with the brethren. You are looking forward. You know, when you are seeking, you are looking forward. And the Bible says, when the Lord sees someone like that, ah, who is seeking after him and his righteousness, he promises us, he says, All these things will be given to you as from this stuck of water, they'll overtake you as a promise, and we pray that it shall come to pass in Jesus' name. And 1 Corinthians 2:9 no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for you who love him for me. Put your name there. The things that God is planning for you or preparing amazing things, extraordinary things, believing it shall come to pass in Jesus' mighty name. Say amen to that.
Becoming Prophetic Through The Challenge
SPEAKER_00And you'll be changed into a different person. Say, once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do. For God is with you. Brethren, I pray this morning as we prepare this 30-day challenge that has been our daily prayer, that the spirit of God will come powerfully upon you. You that's here, you that's watching, you that is listening, but the spirit of God will come powerfully upon you. Number one, you'll be prophetic, you change, you become, you become a prophet, you become prophetic. The things that we have learned the last 16 days here are transforming us into prophets. You know, you hear prophet so and so, you become a prophet of your own life, you become a prophet of your own destiny, that you are no longer just walking by. No, you become a prophet of your own destiny. You declare things, um, you take control of your life. That's what this third-day challenge is. And we pray that the spirit of God will come powerfully upon each one of us. We'll never be the same again, we'll never be ordinary Christians. Um, but because the spirit of God will come upon us, we will prophesy, we'll be changed into different persons. June 30th, as we graduate and move on uh to serve God, we're going to be changed. The spirit of God will come, you'll change every area of your life, change your family life, it will change your business, it'll change your work, it'll change your work with Him, your spiritual life, your ministry. Um, we have trust in God. These 30 days challenges will be a transformational for us, will be changed into a different person. And then he says, once these signs are fulfilled, he said, Do whatever your hand finds to do. We pray in the name of Jesus as we unleash each one of us here, June the 30th. We say, Go and do whatever your hand finds to do, go and start that business, go and expand in Jesus' name, go and knock that door in Jesus' name, go and receive your miracle. Whatever your hand finds, he said, Go do it, for God is going to be with you. He's going to be with you. This scripture was fulfilled with Saul, says, as he was moving, as he was, as he turned to live, as he turned to live somewhere. You know, somewhere they direct an altar. There was a place like this. And as he turned to live, the Bible says, Ah, I like it. God changed Saul's heart. Brethren, everything begins with a changed heart. Relationship being restored begins with a changed heart. You know, you wake up and say, Why am I living in strife, by the way? Why am I fighting here? Oh no, a changed heart. A revelation, a revelation. Maybe God changed Saul's heart. And we are praying, brethren, these 30 days of challenge. That you know, our spiritual eyes will be open. You know, some of the things that we struggle with, some of the things that are hurting your relationships, is because you know the enemy has lost your eyes and you don't see what you are doing to others. You don't see. We are praying that this third day challenge, our eyes are going to be open. The Bible says God changed soul's heart. Every transformation begins with a changed heart. Fighting here, somebody hating this person. Why am I not paying attention to him? Why am I causing strife? Why can't I just humble myself? Why do I have to fight here? It begins with a changed heart. And we are praying this morning, brethren. May our hearts be changed. So that the relate where we have had relationship being strained, we are going to be completely different people, unleashed to go and serve God, and says, All these signs we are fulfilled as it left somewhere, as he left. And the Spirit of God came powerfully upon him, and he began to join and he began to prophesy. That was the beginning of our soul's transformation. We are praying. This third day will not be like any other, this 11th one. We're not going to be like any other one. We're going to be changed. God is going to change us, gonna make us better and better servants. Say amen to that. Hallelujah. Wow, wow, let's move on
Health Disciplines And Life Manifesto
SPEAKER_00quickly. We have a lot to cover today. Our health disciplines, we are reminded there. Take time, connect with God, uh, as well as uh especially in the outside, connect with Him, take a lot of water, take care of our bodies. So our license here to be on earth, and purpose will be a blessing to everyone in Jesus' name. Wow, let's get on. We have um a lot to cover today. Very, very important lesson. But this is what we have covered. If you have missed any of this, go to the recording and listen again and again and again and make sure that all these topics are, you know, the work, as well as the exercises, the work that comes with it. Make sure you have your dream life manifesto. We covered that yesterday. Remember, we said all political parties, they have manifestos. They say, when I come down to power, nikeweka bibiliai chini. You have heard that word. I say my nikeweka to be bilia chini like this. Is their manifesto. They say, We'll do this, we'll do this, we'll do this, we'll do this, we'll do this, we'll do this. They sit down, they write down what they want to do when they come to power. You know, we cannot live our lives without a manifesto. And this last you know, 30-day challenge designed to deliver you on June the 30th with a clear manifesto written down one page that captures all these things we have talked about here. And when you begin to bring that before God, your life completely changes, you'll never be the same again. Hallelujah. That we covered that yesterday. Go listen to the recording if you are if you didn't, it's very important. And now let's dive to today's scripture.
David And Goliath As Mindset
SPEAKER_00Uh, today's lesson, self-actualization, self-actualization part two. Today it is huge, it is important. And of course, if you've made it here, um, you know, we have uh in the first part, part one of self-actualization, we talked about one of this, you know, self-actualization. Actualization is one of the most powerful mindsets uh that we're ever going to get. And uh we I pray that today you get this concept very well. We have this scripture here, 1 Samuel 17, 20 to 58, it's a long one, but we don't want to um you know read all of it in the interest of time. I just want to go down to the part that I've highlighted. I think it is here in 1 Samuel 17, verses 45. This is David confronting Goliath. It's a very familiar scripture. You can read it on your own. But in verse 45, it says, David said to the Philistines, you come against me with sword and spear and javelin. You know, the enemy will come against you with things in the office, you know, in that place, the enemy is plotting and is coming to you with sword, with spear, and javelin. But David says, But I David, I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, and this is what makes the difference. The question is, Who are you coming with? Who are you coming with? He said, In the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. And then 446, David says, This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I want you to picture the belief, I want you to picture how confident David was. He's saying, This day, and it has not happened yet. The man is still there, he's still there, he's still Goliath, he's having a spear, javelin, a huge armor. But David begins to proclaim what's going to happen. He says, This day, and this is a young boy, he's a teenager, but he's now making the he said, This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and he tells him, and I will strike you down, and I'm going to cut off your head. This very day I'll give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals. And he says, And the whole world will know that there's a God in Israel. This statement, brothers and sisters, highlights what David believed in a deep belief system. I know in self-actualization, we talked about the things that actually um that drive what we do. Why do we do what we do? We, you know, as a human being, we want to be the very best version of ourselves. It's a question of what do you believe about yourself? That's what we are covering today. So David had a strong belief in God's ability to fight for him. Such was the belief that even before the fight begins, he's already declaring what's going to happen. And I pray that the Spirit of God will go to enable us, brethren, to re start operating in this realm. This realm where you declare what is not as if it is. You know, I come against you in the name of our Lord Almighty. And I said, This day the Lord will deliver you. And I pray that we're going to be prophetic. He said, These 30 days, God is going to change it to be prophetic. Where you go to that business and you begin to speak to it. You say, You are we're going to succeed here. It does not matter how many are failed, it does not matter who has come before me, but I'm going to be successful, I'm going to thrive, I'm going to build a strong career. This business is going to stand, and my relation will be restored, my marriage will stand, my children will be mighty, they will be mighty in the land. You declare from a position of deep belief. Hallelujah. Because what you believe to be true about yourself is what carries the day. What you believe to be true about yourself is what carries the day. David Edith believed in who he was and who God was, who God Almighty was. And that's why sometimes we wonder why we do some things or we don't do some things. Why do we do what we do? Or why don't we do some things? The answer is what you believe about yourself. And this morning, as we talk about self-agilization, we look at what do you believe about yourself? Because if you can see yourself in the highest version, the highest version of yourself, if you can see yourself in the highest version of yourself, then so it shall be. That's why the enemy fights so much for us to you know belittle ourselves. You know, make us feel like we cannot accomplish anything. The enemy wants you to feel like you're not good enough, you're not beautiful enough. That's why somebody is taking advantage of you. You're not smart enough, maybe you're not educated enough. Maybe there's something you are lacking. The enemy deals, that's how it gets into us to make us feel small, to reduce us. That's why when people want to peel you and they want to take advantage of, they reduce you. Even in in relationships where there's abuse, it begins with somebody making you feel you're not worthy, you're not good enough, you're not smart enough, and actually you should be thanking him for being married to him or for that. He wants to belittle you to feel you like you are worth nothing. But we want to say that if you can see yourself the way you should, you begin to live differently. And this 30-day challenge, brethren, is defined to elevate us to see ourselves where we should, the way God sees us. And David is coming here, he's a young boy, and what we see is a very different thing from what Golada is seeing. What the children of Israel were seeing is very different from what David was seeing. David saw an almighty God. He saw that a God who would fight for him, a God who could help him cut this guy's head and give it to the birds of the air. And that's what carried the day. What we believe about ourselves. So we need to make Every single effort to understand this because it's critical. So we're going to cover you know three things that are very, very, very important.
Self-Esteem Without Comparison
SPEAKER_00And we're going to start with number one, self-esteem. Self-esteem. Self-esteem. Now, self-esteem answers the question: how do I value myself? Or how do I feel about myself? This morning. You know, when we talk about that courage, that commitment, that belief system. The question is, how do I value myself? Self-esteem. This is a thing that the enemy really uses. Um, how do I value myself, or how do I feel about myself? That is the question of self-esteem. So, self-esteem has, as I've said, two definitions. How do I how valuable am I? How do I feel about myself? And this morning, you can ask yourself that question: how valuable are you? That's what we have been declaring every single day since these third days began. Be saying, I'm valuable, I'm unique, it's nobody like me. You make it those declarations. We are dealing with that aspect of who are, who you are. Um, because how valuable am I? The answer to that question and depends on two things. One, you can answer that question from a position of ego, from our our own ego, um, because you can say, hmm, I'm actually valuable, I'm more valuable than others. Or the others are better than me. You or I'm better than them. Now, if you are answering that question from whether you are better than somebody else or you are less than somebody else, then that's a problem. In self-esteem, when you're answering that question of how valuable am I, you need to reach a point where you know it's not about comparison. You don't have to be comparing yourself with somebody. Oh, I'm more valuable than the other person, or I'm less valuable. No, you need to reach a place where you're confident that you are valuable before God, and you don't have to compare yourself with anybody. Because you see, if you if you uh maybe uh if you if you think you are less valuable than others, you begin to want to impress them. And that's why in the office you see that people try to impress the boss. We call it sucking up. You you know, you are trying to impress the boss, and you know, when the boss is around, you're trying to you know make him feel big, whatever, because you you have this belief, this false belief that is more valuable than you. That when you know that you are valuable before God and you don't have to be better than anybody else, you are not less than anybody else, and settle that completely so that you don't have to impress anybody. Now, if you also believe that you are more valuable than others, those below you, you begin to control, right? You begin to control, you want to use them. That happens in the office. There's some people who, when the boss is around, they are so nice. As soon as they go, they are killing everybody below them. Everybody below them is useless, they fight with the watchman, they abuse the secretary, they are completely disrespectful of everybody around below them. But when the boss is around, those above him, he's so good, you know, he's such a great person, he looks, but everybody below is a terrorist. Why? He believes he's more valuable than those below him, and he believes that those above him are better than him. We need to settle that. Self-esteem answers the question, how valuable am I? And when it comes to that, the answer is you are not valuable than anybody, and you're not less valuable than anybody, you are just valuable. Once you sort that out, your self-esteem comes back. The second question that self-esteem answers is how do I feel about myself? How do I feel? How do I feel about myself this morning? How do you feel about yourself? You know, we can be very critical of ourselves, we can be very, very critical of ourselves. How do you feel about yourself? And how you feel about yourself determines how you act, how you dress, you know, the way you dress, it imp the way you feel about yourself impacts your dressing, you know. So one of the things that makes us feel nice about ourselves is when we move towards an objective, when you set goals and you accomplish them, you feel nice about yourself. For example, today we are all here. Yesterday night, you purposed to come and be in this meeting. One of you, I must be in the prayer meeting today. You ticked, you put the alarm clock and bang, you wake up and you are here. From here, when you go to shower and you go to the office, you feel nice about yourself because you set a goal and you accomplished it. Now, when you set up that alarm clock and then it rings, and then you snooze, and you don't end up in the meeting or you end up late, you come here when it's remaining 10 minutes and the rest, you feel bad about yourself. Why? You set up a goal and you do not accomplish it. So, one way of being um feeling good about ourselves is setting goals and working towards them. That's why, even in the beginning of this year, there was a whole message we spoke about goal setting and part of this 30-day challenge, but this is a whole day we're going to be talking about that, setting goals for yourself, setting small goals. Hey, today I want to accomplish this, I want to be nice, I want to be kind, I want to be forgiving today, and and you accomplish it. You feel good about yourself. So, how do you build your self-esteem? You build your self-esteem by setting small goals and accomplishing them because they move you when you're moving towards forward and you're accomplishing things, you feel good about yourself and you become unstoppable. How do you build your self-esteem? Start living a life of goal setting. Set small goals. Say today I'm I'm going to fast, I'm going to do fast, I'm going to skip breakfast. When you skip breakfast, by the time you come to lunchtime, you feel nice about yourself. Why? You set up a goal, you accomplished it. Say, I'm going to, you know, start doing this. You begin to do it. You feel good about yourself. That's how you build your self-esteem. And David was a classic example of a young man that was absolutely full of good, positive self-esteem. He stands there, he's confident on who he is, he's confident about who God is. I'm outcoming, but I'm not coming with my own strength. I'm coming in the strength of Almighty God. And he declares what's going to happen. So, brethren, self-esteem is important. How do I value myself? How do I feel about myself? How do you value yourself? Need to know. You don't have to compare yourself with anybody. There's no competition here. I don't want to be sister so-and-so, brother so-and-so. No, no, just be yourself and don't have to compare yourself with your husband, with anybody at all in this world. Just know that you're valuable and because God created you the way you are. And number two, how do I feel about myself? Start setting goals and accomplishing them. Small goals. You know, just set goals, accomplish them. You begin to feel nice about yourself, and it impacts everything. It impacts your addressing, it impacts what you do, it impacts how you talk to others. Hallelujah. This is huge. Self-esteem. I pray that we shall be a ministry of people that are full of positive self-esteem. So we are not in competition. And you see, when you do that, it removes a lot of the fights. A lot of the fights, you see people fighting in the church, fighting over you know, pulpits, fighting over microphones, fighting to do this, to do that. It's just because of this thing of feeling that you are more valuable than another, or you're feeling you're less valuable. And we need to die from it and just be who God has called us to be. Say amen to that.
Rewrite Your Self-Image
SPEAKER_00Number two, self-image. Self-image. These are powerful. There are things that impact everything we do. Why do I do this? Why am I always feeling like this? It's because you have a problem with these three areas self-esteem, self-image. So, self-image, what is it? It's how do I see myself? Self-image. How do I see myself? Now, in this one, this again very powerful. But if I say today, if I ask a question, who is good here in who is good here in music? Who is good in music? If I ask that question, you say, put up your hand if you are good in music. Maybe some people will do, some others will not. I can go and say, hey, anyone who's good here in mathematics, please put up your hand. Or who is good in languages? And you know, anybody who is polite here, I can ask those questions. And as I ask those questions, you already have an answer. You already have an answer. You have already decided that you're not good in music. That's why there'll be a few hands going up. You've already decided that you are not good in music. If I talk about mathematics, ah, you've already decided me, I'm not good in mathematics. Languages, oh no, no, no, not me. You've already decided that you are not good in that subject. But if I go to a class full of young children, Sunday school children, and I stand there, I say, we have a piano here. Who has to come and play? I'm telling you, all those 30 kids in that classroom, those of us who are teachers know that I'm sure we have teachers here. You know, they can back me up. If you come with a piano, put it in front of the class of grade ones or grade zero, whatever grades call themselves. That is, I've got a piano here. Who has to come and play for us? Those 30 kids will all lift up their hand, they'll rush towards that piano to go and play it. They have never played it, but they have not ruled that they cannot do it. They have not removed themselves from the equation. They will come and try. They may not play it well, but they have not ruled themselves out. And this is the point I'm trying to make here. Brethren, hundred percent of what we believe we cannot do. We first of all believed it, then we went to confirm it. We you you you are we we make a self-image, we have millions of self-images. We believe something, then we go to prove you believe that you cannot play the piano, and then you go ahead to prove that you cannot do it. And this is powerful because it means if we can reset ourselves, we can do anything. And many of us, we can find we have ruled ourselves out too early. We have ruled ourselves, we've made we we made up. Uh we say, Are you a good speaker? You've already decided I'm not one. You make you make up those things, then you go ahead to prove it. We have a story. You we make up a story, then we believe it. And what I'm saying today here is that we can rewrite our self-image. There are some things that you should rethink. Who said you can't do it? Who said you can't preach? Who said you can't sing? Who said you cannot do that? We made it up either because of experiences, somebody said something, or people told you you cannot do it, and then you went ahead to prove to yourself that you can't do it, and that means we can we can rewrite it. We can rewrite it, we can rewrite that image and begin to do what God has called us to do. You see, today, if I say maybe uh let me use golfers, if you play golf. If I come and say the biggest golfer, let's use Tiger Woods, he's one of the greatest golfers, and they say Tiger Woods is coming to Kenya and he's running a one-week boot camp on golf. And so if you are interested, go and spend a day. He's gonna show you how to do it, he's gonna run a boot camp to teach you how to play golf, how to swing that club, whatever it is, and you sign up. You say, I'm good, I'm going to go. So you spend a week with him, him showing you. By the time Tiger Woods goes back, you begin to play golf. Now, there's nothing that has changed. All you needed is an excuse to back up your beliefs. Now, because you have gone and spent some time with Tiger Woods, you believe you can play golf. You could have done it without him, but you needed a excuse, you needed a reason, and Tiger Woods then become the reason for you to begin to play golf. What I'm trying to say is that you could have done it without him. You can rewrite that image. You don't need a coach, you can you can go ahead and rewrite it and do it. The potential was always in you, but you needed an you needed an excuse to change. Even today, we can change our health habits, we can change our eating habits. That's why sometimes people go to the gym, they go to lessons. Some of us we are in many, many lessons, and today we open your phone, there's tai chi, there's these things, all these programs that people get into. We can do it without our without that program, but what we are getting is a vast excuse to change. But the point I'm making is that you can actually change it yourself if you can. Self-image. How do I see myself? And what we are saying is that we can change, we can change to make sure that our image is good. How do you see yourself? You need to begin seeing yourself as a victor. You need to see yourself not as a victim, but as a victor. Say amen.
Self-Projection And The Feel You Leave
SPEAKER_00Hallelujah. Number three, so that we can finish this up. Self-projection. Self-projection is the image you want other people to feel when they come in contact with you. It is like your brand. When people come and talk to you, what you want them to be left thinking is in your hands. Maybe um you, you know, there are some people who are, we call them cry babies. You know, every time you sit down with them, you know, they are victims, they want sympathy, you know, they want love, they want attractive. You know, they are the when so when people come into contact with you, that's what they left. You know, the others who try to impress. When you sit down with them for five minutes, they tell you about the things they have. Oh, by the way, I'm so-and-so, I'm this, I'm Professor So-and-so, I'm this, I do this, and I own this car, and I hear within 10 minutes, they have told you about everything that they want to, and then they they want to that they own. They've even told you how much money they have in the bank account, they've told you how senior they are in the office within just 12 minutes. Again, I'm talking about the things that we project, self-projection, the image you want other people to feel. Now, what we are saying is you can control that. What do you want people to feel when they come into contact with you? You can maybe, for example, do you want people to feel safe and respected? You know, anytime you come, you can feel, oh, actually, I'm safe here, I'm respected here. Um, when they are around you, when you're around, you feel people treasured. You treasure them, you you you feel them, you know, you you you want that to come out to be who you are. And I pray this morning, the Spirit of God will help you to really check what people feel when they come in contact with you. You can control that, you can change, you can say, no, no, no. I don't want I want people to feel loved and appreciated and and and and honored and and what and that's how you build relationships. That's how you build relationships, that's how you become a magnet for blessings. What people feel when they come into contact with you. Begin to be conscious about that. For example, in this in this minute, we in the we are running the 30-day challenge, but we we prepare for it. We don't want you to come and and waste an hour here. We want when you come here, you feel like you know, we have prepared for you, we have thought through, we have prayed about what we're coming to say here. We're not just having a go. We respect time, the meeting starts on time, the meeting ends on time. We want you to feel like people respect you here, that we are coming here to learn. It's an important part of our morning session. That is something that as a ministry we value. We value excellence. We value, we want to make sure that everything we ever do, we do it well. And we'll do everything we can. Make sure that that's that's who we are. And I'm saying, even you as a person, you can really think about what you want people to do to feel when they come into contact with you. You want people to feel loved, to be treasured, to be honored. And when you change that, you become a magnet. You become people want to come to you, want to be with you, and you build deep relationships, um, you deep and you do wide and deep relationships because of your self-projection. These three things are powerful: self-esteem, self-image, self-projection. And I want to encourage you, to challenge you to rethink your self-projection. How do you come out? And you can ask your friends. If you ask your friends, they will tell you if you have honest friends, I keep saying honest friends, because honest friends will tell you that maybe you talk too much about yourself, and some people then run away. People run away, they they feel unsafe, they feel like, oh, this man I cannot relate with him, or this lady I cannot relate with him, or maybe you're always you know crying, looking for sympathy. Again, these are all things we can deal with them. Change your self-projection, the image you want other people to feel when they come into contact with you. Do you want them to believe, oh, this is a generous person, this is a caring person. And I believe that God, the Bible, the word of God comes to change us so that our self-projection projects Christ. That people should feel loved, valued. You know, those are the values that Christ wants for us. Brethren, these three things are powerful. They are there in your books, in your notebooks. Want to offer them again and again. Let's build strong self-esteem, our self-image and self-rejection, and we're going to become unstoppable.
