Loyal Son and Daughter

Loyalty is not just about obedience in this teaching we unpack the difference between simply following instructions and truly honouring the source from which you come. As you listen challenge yourself to examine your heart posture: Are you easily offended? Do you carry bitterness, envy, or disobedience? Or are you positioned as an arrow ready to be used in the hands of your Father?

Amen.

SPEAKER_03 0:01

Who's happy to be? I know I am. I know I am. Because God has something in store for you today. Today's message is titled The Loyal Son and Daughter. Amen. Amen. The loyal son and daughter. Amen. Make sure you have your notebook. One thing I aspire to be always is a loyal daughter. Because I am the inheritance of my parents. And I am to carry out what they have started. I am to preserve what they have started. A loyal son, write it down, a loyal son or daughter, heeds or obeys the instruction of his father and does not forsake or abandon the law or wisdom of his mother. He also protects and advances his father's vision. Father's vision. Amen. And as a reference, I want you to put Proverbs 1 verse 8.

SPEAKER_04 1:35

I think listen, you can read for us. Proverbs 1 verse 8.

SPEAKER_01 1:45

Thank you, woman of God. Proverbs chapter 1 from verse 8 says, My son, hear the instruction of your father and do not forsake the law of your mother.

SPEAKER_04 1:57

Amen. So I want us quickly. Amen. So I want to quickly, quickly read the story of Ruth.

SPEAKER_03 2:15

Okay, I'm going to fast forward a lot and I'm going to condense it a lot because we don't have the time to read through all the chapters. I wish we had, because there's something to really, really learn. So it came to pass that there was when judges were ruling in the land, there was a man, his name was Elimelech. Now remember, I have a different accent, so it might actually not be you know said like that. Okay. Um Elimelech married Naomi and they had sons, two sons. And the two sons also married. They married one who's called Ruf and the other one who's called Oprah. Alright? And Elimelech died, and so did his sons. So Naomi was left with her two daughter-in-laws. Okay. And when she was left with her daughter-in-laws, they dwelled in the land, and then they said, you know what? They had moved. So she said, you know what? Let me just go back from where we came from. And she then also told her daughter-in-laws, she said, let's read Ruth 1, verse 8.

SPEAKER_01 3:40

Thank you, woman of God. Ruth chapter 1 from verse 8 says, And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother's house. The Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. Read nine as well. Yes, woman of God. Verse 9 says, The Lord grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband. So she kissed them and they lifted up their voices and wept. Amen.

SPEAKER_03 4:12

So she wanted them to go, to go and find different husbands, so that at least they can remarry. She knew she was advanced in age. She said, Okay, your husband's died as well. So she felt compassion. She felt sorry for them. So she told them, please go. Go return to your mother's house so that at least, because she said as well in that word, if you continue reading, I can't produce you another child. I can't produce another husband for you in my womb. And even if I could, would you wait for him to get of age for you to then marry him? Go back to your father's and mother's house. And they two wept. They cried. First and foremost, it made me realize what type of mother-in-law she was. For one to cry. Remember, you are free to go. Go and look for another husband. Number two, you have a second chance. We want to stay with you. Made me understand which type of value that mother-in-law had in their eyes. Nevertheless, we're not speaking about that now. So, further on, further on, Naomi insisted. She basically like pushed them away. Go, go, go, go. Oprah said, Okay, mom, since you're insisting, I'm doing it with a heavy heart, but I'm I will leave. Let's read verse 14.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Thank you, woman of God. Ruth chapter 1 from verse 14 says, Then they lifted up their voices and wept again. And Opa kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

SPEAKER_03 5:56

But Ruth clung to her. Continue reading to 17.

SPEAKER_01 6:00

Yes, woman of God. Verse 15 says, And she said, Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Return after your sister-in-law. Verse 16. But Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave you or to turn back from following after you, for wherever you go, I will go. My God. And wherever you lodge, I will lodge. Oh my God. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Verse 17. Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also if anything but death parts you and me.

SPEAKER_03 6:42

What a child! What a child. She said, It doesn't matter the circumstances. Ruth was a child that did not forsake her parent because of circumstances. Ruth did not was not a child that left because the place seemed barren. She said, I can't have another child. This place seemed barren. It seemed like there was no future there. Because her having another child would mean that there is a future. You understand? But it seemed like there was no future, which means for her, she too would not have a child. But she didn't consider that. She didn't. She didn't consider herself, but she said, I'm gonna be loyal first. The loyalty to her mother-in-law came first before she considered and looked at ah, that means I will not have any descendants. But look how God rewarded her. Chapter 2 from verse 1 and 2.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

Thank you, woman of God. Ruth chapter 2 from verse 1 says, There was a relative of Naomi's husband, a man of great wealth of the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz. Verse 2. So Ruth the Moabites said to Naomi, Please let me go to the field and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.

SPEAKER_03 8:34

Ruth understood. She said, Okay, I'm going to choose mom over me, over myself. So she understood, which also means I will have to start providing. Because she chose loyalty, she chose the circumstances that came with Naomi as well. And she did not um soak over it, she did not look down on it. She said, You know what? I am going to do whatever is necessary for me to stay with this woman. What a child! So when they went, she went, she said, Let me glean. Glean means pick up remains. So when other people are going and reaping the harvest, let me go and pick up the rest, but they've overseen or what may fall have fallen out of there, you know. Let me go and pick it up so that I can go and give it and we can eat. But she didn't know that she entered a field of somebody that was relative to her father-in-law, a brother to her father-in-law. She didn't know. And I'm just gonna continue speaking until the Holy Spirit leads me to actually read it. When that was happening, Boaz noticed her. Boas was a rich man, he had money, he owned the field, so he noticed her, and he went to her and said, You know what? Because of circumstances and whatnot, you just stay in my field. Pick up the residues of what my workers left behind. And she went and she told everything to Naomi. And I'm just looking at the characteristics that Ruth had. She was so loyal. Everything that happened outside, she went straight to go and tell. Every time something happened, she went to go and tell. Every time she had encountered something, she went to go and tell. And as she went and told, Naomi now started giving her advice, and just like a wise child, she took the advice. Everything she said, she went and done. You understand? Fast forwarding in chapter three. Now her mother-in-law tells her, You see, when you go there, when you see he's drunk, you cover him, and then you lay at his feet, and so on and so on, and you find favor in his sight. Don't worry. She said, Okay, mom, as you said, so I will do. She went, she done exactly that. Boaz woke up and he was startled. He was like, Oh, what are you doing here? Oh no, I just covered you, I just covered your feet, I just took care of you. I made sure that you know you are okay, and I stayed here just to watch over you, just you know, so funny things don't happen. And he said, Wow. Boaz called her a virtuous woman. He was like, Wow, I can tell that you're a virtuous woman. I can tell the way you're picking up those things, I can tell. And he was like, Okay, because you have done, you've been the kindest person I've ever met. Remember, that was a counsel of the mother-in-law. He said, Okay, I'll do something for you. He went, and what Boas did is he went and he bought back all the land that belonged to the late husband of Naomi. He bought it back, he bought it from from here from the from the relative, and he said, I'm gonna take Naomi as my wife. Um, I'm gonna take Ruth, sorry, as my wife as well. So I thought the story finished there until I realized even when they got married, Ruth never forsook Naomi. Because if you continue reading, it says that the streets started singing and saying that oh, your daughter-in-law are to you better than seven sons. God has borne onto you, Naomi, a son. Wait a minute. How come people now say that God has given you a son? You that is the mother-in-law, even for my mother-in-law now, you're not ex-mother-in-law. But people are giving you the glory for the child that came that ended up being obeyed, who's Jesse's father, who is the father of King David. All of that because of the loyalty of Ruth to her mother-in-law. She was so loyal to her, she ended up giving birth, she ended up being in the lineage of Jesus Christ Himself, all because of obedience, and even with that, the glory went back to Naomi, not to Ruth. The glory went back to Naomi, and the Bible says that when the child was born, Naomi took the child and put the child on her bosom, and she became the child's nurse. She remained with them, she raised up the child. You know what we do in our in our African culture? When mom comes, she takes care of the child, and she's there for look. At this point, the children come to me for holiday. I'm the holiday. Weekends, you come to me, weekdays. You go to your home there at my mother's place. That's how it happened. And I was amazed. I said, Wow, she kept her so close. Now, Ruth taught me to not only be a child, be a child of quality, be a child of quality. People said that your daughter-in-law is more to, you know, she could have taken as an insult. Because she did have two sons. No one was speaking like that about her. Oprah sees the opportunity to leave. Look, you will have an opportunity, you will have an opportunity, but be wise. Stick to the source. The thing that brought you a good thing, stick to it because Naomi Ruth understood that it's not about circumstance. The place seemed barren, but the place was rich. She didn't know the place was harboring eternal life. Oprah didn't know that. Oprah saw an escape, a way out. And sometimes, even if it seems good, it looks good, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Being a child of quality is what you should aim to be. Let me tell you something. You can be a loyal child, but a child that is not so good of quality. Let me show you. Let me show you. Let's go to Genesis chapter 6. Let's read about the sons of Noah. Now, Noah, Noah had received a word from God. Okay, God told him that I'm going to finish everything. Judgment is going to come upon the earth, and no one is going to be left behind, including animals, everybody, trees, everything, the ants, that rat. Everything is going. But I want you to take your family, two of each kind, enter the boat. Obedient children. The father spoke. Remember, God spoke to Noah. Noah went and gave the message to his children. So they heeded, they obeyed. That's not a regular thing because we can see Lot did the same thing. Lot went, his son-in-laws didn't believe him. They said, Cap. He took his daughters. I even believed that he took his daughters by force. I believe he did because I'm your father. You have to come. That's how I believe things happen because you can't tell me you leave your husband behind, you know, freely, willingly. So obedient children, they helped the dad, everyone built the ark. They entered the ark with the father. Amazing. They took their wives as well, responsible sons. You come with your households. Father has spoken. Very good. Now, after the world was flooded, their obedience paid out because God blessed them. And he said, I will make a covenant with you and your descendants. Which means that the sons were not part of the covenant of God. But let's see, child of quality. Let's go to Genesis chapter 9, verse 20.

SPEAKER_01 18:13

Thank you, woman of God. Genesis chapter 9, from verse 20 says, And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard. Verse 21, then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. Verse 22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. Verse 23. But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father.

SPEAKER_03 18:50

Amen. Loyalty doesn't stop at obedience. It doesn't stop at obedience. There is way more to that. You understand? Obeying is not enough. But Oprah obeyed on a technicality. She obeyed. At all. Honoring your father, honoring your father's vision, carrying out his legacy. Now we are talking. Now we are talking. You want to impress me? Continue the legacy. Carry the vision and make it better. That's one thing. One thing when a man of God speaks to this to the senior man of God, that's one of the every single time to have a conversation and I'm present. He says, Dad, I'm here to carry on your legacy. See the vision that you have, I'll make it better. It's not just about dad said we should go and preach, so I'm going and preaching. No, see what he has built. You take that and you expand it. You understand? They obeyed, didn't they? They entered the ark, they came with their families, they followed everything. But when they had an opportunity to disrespect the father, when they had an opportunity to disregard the father, one of them took it. With all the good things that he done, even including he entered into covenant with God. What followed was a curse from your father that overrid that covenant. Yeah, but I have a calling. God called me. I kid you not. I had that dream. God said I am. You live dirty, you live unwisely. You go, you go about your father's business in a very strange way. What he will speak. Forget that dream. Forget it. Just forget it. Just bury it. Just bury it. Do it now. It's more than just obedience. Continue reading.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

Thank you, woman of God. Genesis chapter 9 from verse 24 says, So Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done to him. Verse 25. Then he said, Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants, he shall be to his brethren. Verse 26. And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant, my God. Continue. Verse 27. May God enlarge Japheth and may he dwell. Dwell in the tents of Shem and may Canaan be his servant.

SPEAKER_03 22:04

The nakedness of their father was exposed, and one of them was so unwise and looked upon it. You understand? When the nakedness of your parent is exposed, it is your job to cover it. Who taught the other songs? Who taught the other songs? When the nakedness of your parent is exposed, it is your job as a loyal child, as an obedient child, as a child of quality to cover. You're not here to mock. You're also not here to correct in case you thought, Oh, I will cover and then I will have a meeting. Please. Now you want to have a conversation, a meeting. You're summoning me. It is abominable to have such a mindset. You have to know, just like Ruth knew, first and foremost, where you come from, and honor that source. Honor it. Keep it, hold on to it. Because it will produce for you. It will produce for you. And whatever you do, you have to know that it will they will call your father's name and say, Is that not the son Pastor Max's son? This one, this one. Yes, Pastor Max's son. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See how he raised him. Meanwhile, he's been pulling your ear. Meanwhile, the Bible says that children are like arrows in the hand of not just any person, a warrior, someone that's been in battle, someone that has conquered, that has overcome stuff, somebody that has been places, somebody that has fought wars. So you as a child, you are an arrow. You are there for the advancement, you are there for conquering, you are there for taking out enemies, you are there for something specific, you are there to take down everything that is rising against the kingdom from where you're coming from. That's why you are there for. You are an arrow, you are to be used by who exactly, your father. Every independent child is not a child. You are bastard, a voluntary bastard. Absolutely. You are an arrow to be used, and the and the hand of an archer. The Bible says, the Bible says, lucky, happy, blessed is he who has a quiver full of them, which means a quiver full of children that are willing to be used. Having a quiver full of them just shows you have I'm sending this guy. What's I'm sending you? Alright, there is you waiting in the back. There is you waiting in the back. There's you waiting, but I'm using him. Once I'm done with him, come go. Once I'm done with her, come go. Once I'm done with her, you understand? Once I'm done with one, I've sent one. I take another one. I send one. And I can and I can spread them all over the field. You don't you don't shoot an arrow only one direction. You understand? You have multiple, multiple, multiple places in which you send them on. But here, unfortunately, arrows have now opinions. Arrows are now bent. Have you seen a bent arrow? You send it that way, it just does this, it goes the other direction. You will call it a faulty arrow. You know what I would do with it? I'll break it in half. I'm not using that that that bend, uh you're even you're not even straight. It's a stick. I just clip it from the from the tree. This is these are the things I was made out of wood. I'd rather use that to light my fire. Just throw it in the fire. You're disposable. You understand? You're disposable. Don't be a disposable child. Please be the arrow. And if you see someone waiting, you see someone being used, you wait because your time is coming. Don't be like those brides when Jesus came. Don't be like them. Don't miss it. Don't miss it. You know, be thrown in the fire. You're redisposable. Don't miss it. Or we thought. We thought. Wait. You see, okay. Zach is being trained. Zach is being sent out next year. It might be me. I might be the next one. Even I'm not the next one. I'll be the one after that. Even I'm not the one after that. I'm coming. I'm coming either way. When that uses me, when he calls me up, I'm I'm ready. I'm ready. You understand? Be that child. Be that child. Don't be that bent, that bent arrow. I will see it in the craving and I will not use it. I'd rather use a stick. I now become, you know what David was doing? I'd rather I'll rather start doing the stone thing before I use you. I'll I'll go over to stones. You understand? Let me tell you now, this is important. What should not be found in a loyal child of quality? Oh, number one. Blessing. Go already to Matthew 18 verse 7. Offense. Offense. Everything is offending you. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? You have now risen to the point where, as I said, somebody that has covered your nakedness has taught you value, has taught you who you are, has given you anything. Your price, you know, your price tag is all is inherited. A king, a king gives birth to kings. So if you are valuable, it's because of who put you here. The tree you came from. You understand? Just because you don't know doesn't mean that you're not it. That's why we're here. That's why I'm teaching you your values. Just like a king has to teach a son that remember you're a king. But dad, they are playing outside, but you can't. If you break your leg, that's it. Our lineage is finished. Please, you can't do it. But dad, they are outside. I understand my son. I understand. But you can't. You're in favor and victory. We tell you, my daughter, you can't. You can't. Why? Because you're part of us. You're part of us. The price tag on us is too high. There's certain things you can't do. But dad, other people, when they are also praying, but they are doing this. I understand, but you can't. You're born of us. We are different. We are different. You understand? You deal with people differently. Your price tag. We handed it over. We told you. Say, you see, this is how much you cost. This is how valuable you are. Now you come with the spirit.

SPEAKER_01 31:03

Read. Thank you, woman of God.

SPEAKER_03 31:07

Read one and two.

SPEAKER_01 31:08

Yes. Okay. Matthew chapter 18. Wait.

SPEAKER_02 31:14

Read seven.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

Thank you, woman of God. Matthew chapter 18 from verse 7 says, Woe to the world because of offenses. My God. For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes.

SPEAKER_03 31:30

As the man of course says, Woy!

unknown 31:32

Woe.

SPEAKER_03 31:34

Woe to the individual. He says offense comes anyway. Woy. Woy, because it just comes. Right? But woy more to you. Because offense has found a resting place in you. Now you, the individual, the harbors a place to offense, you are worse than the offense itself. You're way worse than the offense himself. Because you have given it a place in your heart and in your mind. Ask your neighbor, who do you think you are? What is there to be offended about in life? In this life. Offense is the opposite of offense. Offense will not come. Because when offense tries to come, your understanding spirit will already be talking me like no, it was not like that now. There was one time I entered the bus. I kid you not. The guy was just as in, I just entered the bus driver. I just entered, I just entered. You even five minutes late. I just entered. And then I remember, I was like, to be fair, he's a bus driver. To be fair, he has to deal with like 200 people a day. Some of them win. So I saw one person just he comes in, he just bangs the thing and just walks in. He asks a person, ticket, please. As if they own the bus, you know, they don't pay nothing. I said, to be fair, to be fair. You see how understanding entered and removed offense. Even if it seems like your understanding spirit will be like, maybe they didn't pray today. You know, you even feel sorry for them. I'll say a prayer for them today. Oh, so and so is happening, it's unfair and whatnot. Look, last, last, last results. I'm being trained anyway. I'm being trained. I kid you not. At the end of the day, I went to school. I I went to school last day. They didn't have um my only my own diploma, they didn't have everybody else's diploma they didn't have, and because they didn't have my diploma, they didn't want me to go in the picture, therefore, and I sat there and I said, brokenness is real. No, I have to be broken. I have to be broken. I'm sitting there looking like some some uneducated, jobless person. Everyone is taking, I'm just there waiting. I said, I have to be broken. It has to happen somehow. It has to happen. Why am I upset at them? This thing that I'm feeling has to go, it has to go. So at the end of it, it's even training. The boss is not arriving, you're upset. You have to go to work, it's even training because you're a very impatient person. You do you lack patience, you lack it to the highest degree, highest order, very impatient. Give me this, okay.

SPEAKER_05 35:33

Okay, give me what's your life.

SPEAKER_03 35:42

You understand? So the first thing that shouldn't be found in you is offense. The second thing is sexual immorality. Let's go. Let me tell you, let me show you something. Maybe it goes over somebody's head. First Corinthians five. Thank you, woman of God. Read verse one and two.

SPEAKER_01 36:13

Thank you, woman of God.

SPEAKER_03 36:14

First Corinthians. Even even only reads one and two, it's fine.

SPEAKER_01 36:19

Thank you, woman of God. First Corinthians chapter five from verse one says, It is actually reported that there is sexual sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles. My God.

SPEAKER_03 36:37

He said, Your sexual immorality is so bad. The ones that haven't received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they don't even do that. The ones that haven't received Jesus Christ, they're in darkness. Sin is their identity, they don't do what you do. That's what they want. Continue. Let's see what they were doing that the Gentiles didn't do.

SPEAKER_01 37:03

Thank you, woman of God. First Corinthians chapter 5 from verse 2 says, And you are puffed up and have not among the Gentiles. Oh, among the Gentiles, that a man has his father's wife.

SPEAKER_03 37:18

My God.

SPEAKER_01 37:22

And read. Thank you, woman of God. Verse 2, and you are puffed up and have not rather mourned.

SPEAKER_03 37:28

It says, It says, you should be mourning. You should be mourning. It's not even about the boasting. It's what you've done, is likened to death. Death. You should be mourning. Something died the day you did it. You went and you took your father's somebody, or you went and took your mother's somebody. The Gentiles, people that have not, as in then they haven't received Jesus as Lord and Savior. I don't believe in God. But they don't do that. But you in church speaking in tongues, you see women of God passing by, you two, you look. No. Let's be open. Let's be open. Let's be open. You know exactly the way she is built. You know exactly the way she's built. Your man of a god comes up, you start licking your lips.

SPEAKER_02 38:57

Gross misconduct.

SPEAKER_03 39:02

Gross misconduct. Do you not see how your mind has been taken over by Satan? I don't even know if I can if I can say Satan. Is it Satan? Some people we don't know. You have to we blame Satan. Meanwhile, he's sitting in this corner and he says, It's not me, bro. It's not me. It's not me. I watch my hands. Is this woman of God? What this guy's been watching in this room, no wonder.

SPEAKER_02 39:36

Satan will come and accuse you. And says, Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. I've been watching him.

SPEAKER_03 39:45

I have my spirits monitoring him. And he himself, he goes on those websites. We don't do nothing. We don't do nothing. And then when he gets out of there, what you will go for is not even it's not even your brother, your sister, you go, you see, mom. No. Let's be honest. Let's be honest. You see your father and you sexualize your father. It is abominable. And and it is literally death. Why is it death? Remember, if he is the source of the vision, and you have perverted that source, you have killed yourself, killed your future, killed everything around it. You understand? It is bad. It says rather than mourn, you should be mourning, you should be crying out and saying, God, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because what you don't know, what happens is not only let's not only speak about the act, let's speak about you first. You are no longer viable, viable as an arrow, first and foremost. The arrow will turn back to the to the warrior and hit the warrior. That's you if you have that mindset. You are you are the weapon fashioned against the warrior. You now became an agent of destruction of division. You that are supposed to take it to the next level, enlarge it, make it better, and give it also to descendants. You have now become the thing, you're now an arrow in the hands of the enemy that is destroying the work, and it's that serious. It is that serious. There's some things you don't do in this life, some things you don't do, some things you don't do. Rather, when when the Bible says, Okay, your arm will lead you to hell, cut it off. It's not speaking, it's telling you that you have to do it with aggression, you have to be aggressive. Some things you have to be aggressive, extremely aggressive about it. If he is to slap me, see you slapping some people. See you slapping yourself. They even call doctors. Yeah, yeah. She's slapping herself. They're coming, they're trying to stop you. Let it happen because you know you're escaping death. Who said there's only one type of death? You're escaping death, the death of the vision, the death of what you've been called to do, the death of your assignment. That's what you're fighting. What are we talking about? The fact that I have to say it is even worse.

SPEAKER_04 44:00

Very quickly. Thank you. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 44:16

Let's go to Galatians 5 19.

SPEAKER_01 44:22

Thank you, woman of God. Galatians chapter 5 from verse 19 says, Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness.

Verse 20. And so on. That's not even what I wanted. I want to speak about that fornication part. That sexual immorality part. The works of the flesh are evident. You're not filled with the spirit. This is a flesh. The flesh has taken over you too much that you sexualize your parents. And it's really something. Whether you're hearing me on Spotify, if it's you, you need to repent. You need to repent. Because it's bad. It's not called for nothing, sexual drive. A driving license. For you to drive, you need a driving license. You need to be tall. And you don't need to be qualified to drive. Your sexual drive needs to be held under control. You need to be tall. And you need to qualify to even release that drive to some extent. To indulge in it. Your driving license here is marriage. That's your driving license. If you don't have marriage, you are it's illegal for you to be on the streets driving your sexual car. You're illegal. It's illegal. And guess what? If you drive a car and you haven't been taught how to drive the car, you can crash and die. And that's the same thing with sexual drive. You will crash and you will die. Don't take it lightly. When the Bible says you should flee, it tells you again, don't stand there and be speaking in tongues. What do you think is gonna happen? People can do it with worship musical. Worship music is in the background. What do you think this is? It's a drive. You understand? Please be very, very conscious about that. I'm gonna tell you the other things that should not be found in you because my time is up, and I'm gonna give you the scripture to it as well. Okay. So, first was offense, Matthew 18, verse 7. Sexual immorality. We went there in 1 Corinthians. Then there is um disobedient spirit, a disobedient spirit, Ephesians. Can we read that one? Just just just no, I'll give it to you next time. A disobedient spirit. That one, when I read it, I said, God, you see where it's coming from. Next time, bitterness, Hebrews 12, 15. And then there is that one, that wicked one is envy. Envy. Isaiah 14, 14. Envy. This is the even the reason why we are fighting in this sexual thing. Because somebody envied God. This is the reason why we are here in the first place. It's that envy thing, and it's found in many sons. Your father is doing a thing, you start feeling like no, because we give you pulpit, Abby. We give you microphone. No, your father gave you the business. He said, My son, this now your father has opened another business just for bands because he has experience, is growing, and you're like, I need to compete against that. No, it's one of the women as well. Hmm, no, woman of God is looking too good. Tomorrow I have to that hair. I would I'll do it like this so that I look better than mom. I have to do have to be better than her. No, it's a sp it's not even gross misconduct. This is this is satanic misconduct. I can't let that slide. You can't go please against Grace.

SPEAKER_00 51:12

You know, where Jesus said that that Satan lived there, you know. We don't want to end up like them. So sit down. I just want to echo for five minutes one or two of the things that she said. Um woman of God, thank you. Thank you. And um I hope that you guys take a walk after the grace that I have to marry well. Amen. The woman of God gave us Ruth chapter, she didn't give it to us, but she referenced Ruth chapter 4, verse 15. And I quickly want us to go there because I want you guys to go home with these things in your spirit. The Bible actually tells us how to be good children. It teaches us how to be good children to our biological parents and to our spiritual parents. It teaches us how to do that. And if you study the Bible, you will realize that maybe you haven't been a good child, and so you can't partake in what the Bible talks about pertaining to children, which is long life. You know, you see some kids, um, and I'll explain that long life because it's not just about living for a long time, it's the quality of life as well. You see some kids being stabbed at 16. If you go and ask the parents how they were at home, you'll be shocked. Amen. You'd be very shocked. But it says here, Ruth chapter 4, verse 15, you want to read for me?

SPEAKER_01 53:11

Thank you, sir. Ruth chapter 4 from verse 15 says, And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.

SPEAKER_00 53:28

Thank you. Do you know what it means in that time for a girl, a child, a girl, to be seen or to be looked upon to be worth more than seven sons. Seven sons. The number seven is a number of rest. When you look at Ruth's behavior, Ruth was loyal. Ruth didn't have her own personal opinions. You know, in this generation, it's so glorified for you to have to be opinated. Being opinated is glorified. But God teaches you not to be opinated. Being opinated is what got many men of God killed, and is why many struggle to walk with God now. You have too many opinions. God does something and you have something to say about it. If you're wise, you will abandon your opinions. Because you cannot see the whole picture. Look, if someone places an equation before me, yeah, and tells me this is half the equation, solve it. Some of you will sit and try and solve the equation. Because there's no wisdom there. If you give me an equation and you notify me that this is half the equation, I'll stand up and walk away. I'll say, I can't, what? This is you've you tried to trap me. You you wanted to waste my time. Praise God forevermore. Why am I saying that? It's because you are inside the picture, not outside the picture. How can you have an opinion on something you are inside? You can't see everything, so your opinion may be half truth, which will bear half results, which does no good for anybody. Praise God forevermore. Ruth was an interesting character, but I want you to look at what sons do for parents. Sons give legacy, sons are defenders. Amen. Sons carry the genome of the father. When I was reading that scripture, I said, God, bring daughters into this ministry who are worth more than seven sons. That will fight for the vision that we have to go to the next level. Not act as time bombs. Let me explain to you what how it works in the spirit. You see what we're doing here? Yeah, every week we're releasing the power of God on you. Every week. Every week. You come in here, even if you don't know it, you can come in here and you're unaware of what's going on in the spirit. The power is on you the moment you step into this environment. Okay, the power of God is on you. Now, the Bible says that the spirit of God is most effective in unity and peace. Do you understand? When you find yourself doing the opposite of the scripture, you break, you cause a glitch in the system that we're building. So you going outside there and giving your body to another man is not just a decision you've made about you, it's a decision you've made about the house. Because you're part of the circuit, the power is flowing through you. If you go out there and decide to do something silly and get yourself in trouble, you've made a decision that will affect all of us, everyone here. Because God is interested in using all of us, the power's on all of you. It's flowing as I'm talking now. As the woman of God preached, it's flowing, it's just in everyone. You don't have to feel it. Praise God forevermore. A daughter that's worth more than seven sons takes on the vision of the father and says, I will run faster than the boys. Praise God. I will run faster than the boys with this thing. I'll be more effective. Amen. The woman of God touched on 1 Corinthians 5. She says in there that there's these gentlemen who were who were you know indulging in incest with with their with their father's wife, and they were boasting about it. And the Bible speaks, emphasizes more on the the the after behavior, the behavior that was carried out post the act. Um he understands that this is abominable, but he emphasizes on the fact that you were boasting about this thing. You were happy about this thing. And I want to drive this in your spirit. Uh envying fighting your spiritual parents or your biological parents is suicide. You know, the Bible actually tells us that you oh you owe your parents a debt that you have to keep paying. And you may ask, ah, when does this debt line of debt finish? When do I stop paying this? Never until your parents go to be with the Lord, you have to keep paying that debt. Praise God. Now, for those of you who are here and you don't have relationships with your dad or with your mother, go and build one because you need them. Are you listening? You need them. You cannot be uh a move part of the move of the spirit of God, and you're cursing your dad, and you're cursing your mother. I'll come to spiritual parents in a second. I want to capitalize on biological parents first. You take what I'm saying as the truth. You can your dad, your dad cannot be talking, even if he's a bad dad. He's talking, you're also talking at the same time. Your mom is speaking, she's saying off-key things, and you're also responding at the same time. Do you know what the term pervert in the court of justice means? You don't know what perverting the court of justice means? You're stopping the court from making a decision based on all the evidence. That's what that means. You've you're standing in the way of due process. That's what that means. So when you are disrespectful to your biological parents, you are standing in the way of God's decision to prosper you. Inside that prosperity, there is quality of life and length of life. First thing you will notice is if you are not in good terms with your uh with your father, your mother, that everything you do is a struggle. The message we're giving you now could be the answer to many of your problems. And like she said, you're blaming Satan and you're saying Satan's afflicting me. You are afflicting yourself. After this message, let your parents see a new face, a new you. Oh but Pastor, I've not spoken to my mom in a long time, I've not spoken to my dad in a long time. It doesn't matter. Go and humble yourself and fix it. Oh my mom, she speaks a lot, she's so opinionated. When you have children, you will understand her. It's because you don't have you don't have children. You don't have kids. Praise God. And likewise with your parents in the Lord. Look at the story of Noah. It doesn't say that Noah was perfect, it says he was righteous, not perfect. This is a guy who got drunk and his his buttocks was out. But God says, that naked man, you see that naked man there? That man is righteous. You see that drunk man there that's lying down there that doesn't even know where he is. That's my guy. I mean, the woman of God spoke about the spirit of understanding, which is one of the seven spirits of God. Yeah, the spirit of understanding will tell you this guy was in a boat with animals for a long time, and he was managing them all. He came out, he wants to have a bit of a drink. Leave the guy alone like he's in the ark with dogs barking, pigeons arguing, snakes hissing around, and there's some animals that are knowing like alpacas. You know, an alpaca, there's no use for them, they're just lead flies, all kinds of smells. He has to manage, he's the project manager managing all of these things. He came up and said, Look, I need a drink, I need and you know, you know, and you know what? He had one too many. It happens, and and and you know what, at that time, that was okay. There was nothing wrong with that at that time, but you have you have the you know, some some some some daughters are witches, yeah, and some sons are wizards, and I will remove the word son, some children are witches and wizards, yeah, and their witchery and wizardry comes out when you make an error, or what seems to them as an error, like she said, a good child, a good child, you see the mistake of your dad or the mistake of your mom, and you cover them, you cover them, praise God, you cover them. This is practically like physically, all right? Physically and also mentally, theoretically, you cover them in all areas, if you're walking with your with your Dad, you're walking with your dad, and um, you guys go you go somewhere, you go to a restaurant, he drops something, he he bends down, and his trousers is halfway down. He doesn't know. Will you laugh? Will you take a picture and laugh? You're a wizard. You are a take it from me. You are, and I'm a prophet, you are a wizard. You just don't know you are employed. You're from the devil. What will you do with such an image in your phone? No, some things, some things is clear, especially when you have discernment. Remember, I said discernment is quiet. When you have discernment, you know that this person is a witch. They don't have to say. There's some things that people do, you know, this person, like for example, one of my colleague pastors came to visit me and he said to me, You know, man of God, there's um, you know, I'm building a campus ministry. And he said, You know, I start seeing some strange things when we start praying. He said, There's one girl who she got angry with her partner, they broke up and she went and pooed in front of his his um dome. Am I lying? He was saying, he was telling me he was concerned. He said, he said, what kind of what's what is that? He was he said, You're a prophet. Can you explain that to me? I said, That is a witch. There's nothing, there's no other way. That girl is a witch. Some inspirations, it shows it shows your employment. You understand? You were employed, you just didn't know. If I see that, if I cite that girl, I'll tell her, Come, you are a witch. You mean you need to sit down because you are a witch, and I have to deliver you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll tell you that.

unknown 1:07:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:44

She went there live in the flesh and pooed on the floor at the door. She said, This is what he will meet here, at this place here. Praise God forevermore. Some some some things we know are mistakes. This is an error. Yeah, we understand it's an error, but some things are also very telling to the to the to the quality of the soul of the person. Do you understand? And the only way out of what the woman of God taught today is repentance and true repentance. Do you understand? True repentance, real and true repentance. Make up your mind that you will be what the Bible calls a good child. And that is you qualify for the for the men, you are a son. Because not all them boys here are sons, or men, not all the men here are sons. You say you will be a son, and for the women, that you'll be worth more than seven sons. Yeah. God didn't say that your dad will be perfect, and God didn't say that your pastor will be perfect either. Praise God. Yeah, God didn't say that. God said, even in your pastor's imperfectness, I've anointed him. And God said, I chose him with his imperfectness. Do you understand that? Being opinated is dangerous. So a wise, if you're wise, you say, I am behind God's choice. Whatever that choice looks like, I'm standing behind God. The day God leaves him, I'm also living. That's it. But if God has picked this guy, whether he's handicapped, whether he can walk, he can't walk, whether he doesn't think, he doesn't talk well, I'm standing behind this guy.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:50

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:51

And it's the same with your parents. God picked them. I know some children who are ashamed of their parents, their biological parents, ashamed of them. So you've become somebody today. Alright? I remember hearing a story, and I think I will adjourn here. Yeah, because I want you to remember what she taught is it's very nice and powerful. There was a gentleman who was ashamed of his mother because her face, she was so off-looking because her face was burned. She was her face was burned, and she never told him why. You know, whether she had something to do with the husband and the husband burned the face, never. She never said anything. So she would take the kid to school up until 16. And the kid, because the the children at school were teasing him that your mom is a zombie, he became ashamed of the mother. He became ashamed of the mother. And the mother could see, and he he grew and grew and started maltreating his mother because her face was burned. And he he was saying to her, Yo, the reason I'm being bullied at school. Stop coming to the school. She cried. Eventually, the woman died out of sorrow and sadness. And it was the uncle, he the guy said, I'm not coming to the funeral. At 17, he said, I'm not coming to the funeral. The uncle said, What's your problem? What's the issue you have against your mother? She cooks for you, she kisses, she does everything. The boy said, Mom would come to school, she wouldn't even cover her face, and I'll be getting bullied. I've been bullied all my life because of this woman. Uncle slapped him. Bah! She said, Do you know why her face is burned? You were in a fire. She ran in the house and grabbed you. You were just six months. She ran in the house. She tried to cover her face and she took you and she was willing to be burned. He almost collapsed. He said, I maltreated this woman and she saved me as a baby. He couldn't live with himself. He couldn't live with himself. This is why I said, being opinated. You see those opinions that they're not even godly. Kill them. Kill them because you don't have all the information. Kill them. When you see someone entering this house in this church, acting crazy, don't have an opinion. Because you don't know how far they have come. Praise God forevermore. Dunson Dunson Onyekan he said in his song, um, he said, Don't judge me, you know, for how I'm praising. Something alongsose lines, because you don't know how far I've come, you don't know about my testimony. So when you see me praising and dancing and doing cartwheels in the church, don't judge me. I know where God took me from. Hallelujah. I think I'll adjourn here. We'll have a second part to this to this service. But I want to appeal to all first the ladies, because the enemy will try to use you. He will. Amen. He will. Don't envy your parents, don't envy your spiritual parents. Don't try and compete with the woman of God. You see her with a certain shoe, and you're like, you know what? I have to wear this shoe as well to be better. Don't don't try to compete. Do you understand that? And and the last thing the Spirit of God is asking me to touch on is be, you know, as a as a as a Christian, as a Christian child, there's some desires you are bought very quickly. No, no, no, no. This is not, I didn't say there's some desires that you will never have. No, desires will come, but you are bought mission quickly. So that is, alright, you you may you may have some thoughts, all right? Some ungodly, filthy thoughts that arrive in your spirit. But could because just because you're a son, or because you're a daughter that's worth more than seven sons, you decide I have to kill this thing. This thing cannot live inside of me. Impossible. Praise God. Woman of God, thank you. You've blessed us today. We are blessed. Thank you for listening to Pastor Max's teachings.
