  • The importance and beauty of the name of Jesus.
  • Prayer for wisdom and revelation through the Holy Spirit.
  • The calling of believers as saints and their identity in Christ.
  • The significance of positional versus experiential sanctification.

Praise and Worship

The service begins with a worship session celebrating the name of Jesus, highlighting its power and beauty. Lyrics emphasize the unity of the Word and Christ, reflecting on how His love brings heaven to earth, overcoming sin.

Prayer for Wisdom and Revelation

Leaders pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation, recalling Ephesians 1:17. They seek enlightenment for attendees’ hearts, allowing them to understand God's word deeply. The atmosphere is filled with the expectation of transformation as God's light breaks through darkness.

Transformation through Christ

The message transitions to the theme of transformation, encouraging attendees that they will not leave unchanged. This section references 2 Corinthians 3:18, explaining that believers are increasingly transformed into Christ's image. The speaker emphasizes spiritual growth and commitment among the congregation.

Prophetic Words and Needs Addressed

Attendees are encouraged that the words shared during the service will meet their needs through prophetic utterance. The speaker emphasizes that each person hears what God intends for them personally, and prayer focuses on increasing participation and blessings within the church.

Prayers for Increase

A call for prayer for increase is made, referencing Psalm 115:14, which speaks of God's promise to increase His people. There is an expectation that God will send assistance and divine help for the church’s growth and its members' lives.

Confession and Declarations

The congregation participates in a collective confession, thanking God for their identity as fruitful members of the church and affirming their status as saints. This section underlines the church's collective growth in faith and the fulfillment of God's promises.

The Sainthood of Believers

The speaker discusses the concept of sainthood, emphasizing that all Christians are called to be saints. They explain the difference between positional and experiential sanctification, asserting that positional sanctification is based on what Christ has done for believers.

Positional and Experiential Holiness

The distinction between positional and experiential holiness is highlighted. The speaker emphasizes that one's status as a saint stems from being in Christ, and experiential holiness reflects how believers should live out that identity.

Sainthood by Redemption

Here, the speaker discusses sainthood as a state afforded by redemption in Christ, contrasting it with the world's view of sainthood based on achievement or posthumous recognition. Believers are reminded to anchor their identities in Christ.

Final Prayers and Closing Charge

The service concludes with prayers for ongoing transformation and the realization of God's plans for each attendee's life. The congregation is encouraged to maintain a high level of expectation for what God will do in their lives moving forward. Members are called to rise and lift their voices in gratitude to God.

You know, I have this uh brother of mine is a pastor also. He's a clown. He's probably watching this at some point. He said the day I get to that point in our church when we say I say I love you. He said I would not have made it in life. He said the way serious people just say whatever. He said sometimes I'm just waiting in this church. Can't you say you love me too? Hallelujah. Wonderful. Wonderful man of God. All right. Glory to God. We're starting a new series. >> Amen. Hallelujah. We're starting a new

1:28:07 series and um yeah, we ought to be excited. That's the right response to the word of God. I've told you before that you see the word of God should excite us. >> Amen. >> We should get happy. >> Hallelujah. Like he that has found great spoil. That ought to be our response. Hallelujah. Amen. like a thirsty soul that has come to rivers of waters. Hallelujah. Now, please permit me to just say this. I've been um God spoke to me about um our services and so I really want to speak to somebody um watching online. Okay. And um the Lord began to speak to me about the gates of Zion. The Bible says the love

1:28:55 loves the gates of Zion another but the place where God is working out something another but the place where God is working out some things in us. So please uh I want you to begin to plan make plans and work on this. Ephesians chapter 1 18-19 Ephesians chapter 1 18-19 Ephesians wherever and I also have you know um decide make sure that I will make sure we finish service at a certain time also for those who have to return to far away places. So we are working on it on all sides both you know from the side of the church and also um so wherever I get to is where service stops. Now, Ephesians 1:18-19

1:29:41 ESV. All right. Um, he's been led all right in prayers, but it's also going to be a major scripture. We're starting a new series on the saint, his ministry, and his glory. >> Hallelujah. The saint, his ministry, and his glory. The saint, his ministry, and his glory. Now, in Ephesians chapter 1, 18-19 ESV. Now let's read together. I want us to read out loud. Let's go. Having the eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you. Let me say let me tell somebody not to yourself. Tell someone. All right. That you may know

1:30:27 >> that you may know >> what is the hope >> to which he has called you. >> Hallelujah. And what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints. 19 And what the immeasurable greatness of his power towards us who believe according to the working of his great uh might. Now let's read verse 18 in amplified. Amplified. In amplified verse 18 in amplified. Verse 18 in amplified. Are you ready? Let's go. What does it say? By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light. Uh-huh. >> So that you can know and understand the hope to which God called you and how

1:31:17 rich his glorious inheritance in the saint he set apart once. Hallelujah. Let me start the journey by talking to you about um the saintthood. All right. Of all Christians. And there is something called the priesthood of all believers. And I won't be able to go into that in what we call systematic theology. All right? There's something there that we have to deal with on the saintthood of all I mean the priesthood of all Christians. And I think that a branch of that also should be also the saintthood okay of all believers. Let me tell somebody you are a saint. >> Amen. Tell them I know you don't feel like it, >> but you are a saint. >> You are a saint. >> Amen. And you know the word now has been

1:32:04 used in a funny way now say and you think you're a saint. You you you you you think you're a saint and should be acting like a saint. Should be acting like a saint and you're not a saint and well I'm saint. I'm a saint. Hallelujah. Amen. It's not just St. Augustine. We have we have Saint Tammy. >> We have St. Ke. And I know that that does not sound very Anglicanish or Catholicish, but you are a saint. Amen. Praise the Lord. Now, let's go to Romans chapter I mean uh Romans 1:7. Romans chapter 1 and verse 7. Romans 1:7. In the book of Romans chapter 1:7, the Bible said to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saint.

1:32:52 Notice to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saint, grace to you and peace from our father. All right. And the Lord Jesus Christ. All right. He said called to be saints. Called to be saint. Now this does not mean the the way an average mind processes this that called to be as though it is an attainment. But rather no it means when it say to be saint as if you are called okay and then you are going to be you know a saint after no that's not what the scripture is saying so I'm going to get there in a moment and show you several scriptures to establish you all right there is a calling we have been called onto glory to god we've been called into Christ hallelujah this is

1:33:40 your number one calling I don't care what calling you have where ministry is concerned until you are called unto saintthood you can't be called unto priesthood. Are you following what I'm saying? It is the first a calling unto saintthood. Then there is a calling unto priesthood. So therefore, it is first of all the saintthood of all believers before the priesthood of all believers. You can't be a priest what before you unless you are a saint. First of all, are you following the conversation now? Hallelujah. So you are not called to be a saint as though it's an attainment, but it is intentional. I'm using this because you will soon see it. Now let's go to 1 Corinthians also chapter 1 and verse 2. 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse 2. In 1 Corinthians chapter 1

1:34:26 vers2 I would desire or and I'll be delighted if we can read this together also. Are you ready? Come on. So let us go now. Want to go unto the church of God which is at Corenth to them that are sanctified. And I want you to pay this attention to them that are what? Sanctified in Christ Jesus. And what did he say? Called to be saint. Called to be saint. With all that with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Both what? Theirs and ours. And I want you to see he said to them that are sanctified in Christ and called to be saints. There is a calling. All right. And the calling is unto

1:35:14 number one or salvation is a calling into Christ. Are you following what I'm saying? When you were saved and you gave your life to Christ, you actually have a your first calling. And your first calling is not to do anything to for Christ, he said he called them primarily first of all to be with him and then secondly to send them forth. Amen. I think it's Mark 3 chapter 14 thereabout. He called them to be with him. All right. First of all, okay. Uh look at that. He ordained the 12 that number one that they should be what everybody. What's the number one assignment? >> What's the number one assignment? >> To be with him. All right. Then that he should do what? Everybody send them

1:36:00 forth. So the first calling, all right, of an unbeliever to anything at all is a calling unto salvation. Is somebody following what I'm saying? And that calling unto salvation ushers him into the very thing we are talking about that is saintthood. So therefore when he says called to be saint is not actually an attainment. The day you were called into salvation and called into being born again. It was the exact same day you were called into saintthood. Is somebody getting what I'm saying? Hallelujah. So it is the saintthood of all believers. It is the saintthood of all Christians. It is not a saintthood of some. And you

1:36:46 know you will see it in a moment as as we begin to go. Now let's move on to 2 Corinthians 1:1. I'm giving you a lot of scriptures on this because it is something that has to be taught not just um read. All right. 2 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse one. It says Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God and Timothy our brother unto the church of God in Corinth with all the saints which are in what? Aayiah with all. Now you see now that he is dropping the word saints now. Okay. Now I mean he's dropping the word called now as it were and he said to all the saints in aha to all not to those people a selected few people he started you know

1:37:34 the journey by saying you know called to be saint now he's no longer putting called to be saint now he's come to a place said to all the saints everyone who has been called into Christ are you following what I'm saying that same person has been called unto saintth hood. Now, so what does the word where is the word saint you know um from is from the word aios the word saint in the new testament is from the word aios and it means sanctified it means pure it means holy hallelujah it means sanctified it means holy it means pure means sanctified it means holy means pure say with me sanctified

1:38:19 >> sanctified say holy and that is why when we're reading the book of 2 Corinthians I mean sorry 1 Corinthians 1:2 I was est I was emphasizing to them that are sanctified in Christ those people listen that are sanctified in Christ are the ones who are the saints that is another way to put that now those people say unto the church which is in Corinth to them that are notice that are sanctified in Christ called to be saint those of you now who have been sanctified ified in Christ. You are the one that has called to be saint. You are Are you How many of you are in Christ Jesus? All right. You are sanctified in him already. And guess what? You have been called a saint. Now, if you I don't know if you have it's just that the way it is

1:39:04 now, you won't see it. Unless you have your own Bible. If you have your Bible and you open this, can you please open this in your own KJV Bible? If you have a good Bible, I I I will know now. Okay. Just go there now. Open it. Open it. Open it. This particular this particular uh place. First of all, we'll come here. Go to Romans 1:7. Romans 1:7. Open it. I want to you open cuz I want to tell you I want you to tell me something that you observe. Romans 17. Romans 7. To all right that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saint. Called to be saint. Have you opened it in your own Bible? I Yeah. Let's I want you to start reading. Read, read from your Bible. Read from your Bible. One, two, go.

1:39:54 >> When you saw called to be, what do you see there? >> Huh? >> There is an italicized there. It means originally that was not there. So really and really it actually should read to all that are in Rome. All right. Who are saints. There is no originally called to be that to that uh to be is italicized right to be is italicized right so the real word is called saints so originally I know that it is interpreters that I just felt like let's put this there but originally as it was written when the Bible was being written go they didn't put to be there it is actually called saints

1:40:41 let me tell somebody called saints Can you say that out loud by yourself? Say, I've been sanctified. >> I am sanctified. >> Say, I am a saint. >> I am a saint. >> Woo, boy. >> Say, I have been sanctified. >> I am sanctified. >> Say, I am a saint. >> I am a saint. >> Now, say this. Say, it's not an attainment. >> It's not an attainment. >> It's my reality. >> Oh, come on now. Say that out loud. It's not an attainment. >> It's not an attainment. >> It is my reality. Now put saint in front of your name quickly. Now >> St. May glory. >> Don't I just love that? I know there is St. Augustine, St. Thomas, you know, St. Barnabas, St.

1:41:28 St. Nicholas, >> St. What again? >> St. Anguish. There's no >> St. Andrew. Amen. St. Lanc glory to God. >> Amen. So he's not there is no whatever there you know and I I will come I will come to to to you know to to to our Hebrew. He said called to be that to be originally was not there the when the when the the in fact the people who wrote this whatever now if Apostle Paul was to pick up this Bible in English and he's reading it now and he gets to a point where you put to be there he will

1:42:13 say who this one because when I wrote it originally this was not there who added who are there to be as though it's an attainment when I said it what I said was originally called or right saints >> not to be. Now let's go now to 1 Corinthians 1:12. 1 Corinthian 1:2. 1 Corinthians 1:2. I still want you to use your Bible. I still want you to use your Bible. Don't Don't use mine. You know I remember those days I'll be teaching uh you will remember you know um um a certain young Mario who had come to church then I' had been invited and when I'm teaching another he will never read the one that

1:42:58 is on the screen he will open his Bible he said this pastor is actually reading something that is not in scriptures that he thinks he can get me I will I will find it myself he said and he will be reading go like a this is in the Bible and all that you know because so I want you to read your own your Don't read this one on the screen. H. All right. Okay. Don't read the one on screen. So, we're reading 1 Corinthians 1:2. 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 2. KJV. Now, are you ready? >> Are you ready? >> Now, let's go. One to go >> unto the church of God, which is where >> uh Uhhuh. >> Now, the to be there, what is there? >> Is he italicized again? is slanting like

1:43:43 this or slanting this way. It mean every time you are reading the Bible and you see a word that is every other thing is standing upright. But like the vision that Joseph saw where some sheav are standing and some sheav are bowing. The bowing sheavs are the ones human beings added. Originally the writers of the Bible when they said those things by utterance those things were not there. But when Satan interpreted whatever. So therefore, if Paul picked Corinthians again and then he's reading it, he's going to say, "Who added this?" So therefore, you are going to read it from your Bible, but remove the one that is italicized. Just read it and then but shout it out loud so that we can hear it

1:44:29 together. Now remove the italicized part. One, two, go. called what? >> Saints. >> Now, God bless you guys. This media has helped me by putting YT. Now, let's read it to the what? Everybody want to go. >> Uh-huh. >> Called Saint called Saint. Not called to be as though it's an attainment. I'm not trying to be a saint. Hallelujah. I'm saint who you are. >> And if you call me that, you will not be making a mistake. >> Oh, glory to God. You wouldn't be

1:45:16 exaggerating my status. You know, there are times you call people and other you know you know um I know this happens a you know uh sometimes when you go to uh buy what do they call it now? when you go to far pharmacy shops and then there are these people who study they didn't go to university for uh for pharmacy or for whatever they studied something in they how to dispense drugs at the so but you know you can just go and say pharmacist then say yes pharmacist yes what what can I in her heart in she knows that she's not a pharmacist and all that but it's good you know He makes her feel good. That's not what I'm doing to you. I'm not

1:46:02 calling you pharmacist even though I know you're counting drugs. No, no, no, no, no. This is not a dis. He's not a a a sub. You know, sometimes um I didn't know this. I thought everybody in the Nigerian um army was an officer. So, initially I always say everybody officer officer until the real officers had to call my attention and say we are not all officers. Those who graduate from um NDA and went to university are the officers. Those who did not graduate who joined direct joined the army directly uh they call what are they called? >> Sergeants I don't know but something like that. Pastor me has become a professor in military studies lately.

1:46:52 She knows the joke is between two of us you know and not that you know it's between two of us you know sometimes you'll be we'll be going somewhere she would tell me that see baby call the general that I'm on my way I'll say ah your man you know so that's the joke is between two of us she knows what I'm talking so and all that so but if somebody just joined the army two weeks ago having gone to primary school only then becomes is where and you tell the person officer He he receives the honor but you see in the real essence of it that might not be his real what are you following what I'm saying >> or are you following me so when I say saint I am not looking at somebody who is a corporant and I'm trying to elevate

1:47:39 your status this one is your status >> you're a saint >> the Lord looks at you and he sees a saint >> amen tell Somebody say I'm a saint. >> I'm a saint. >> Say Allah. Say I'm a saint. >> I'm a saint. >> So the word saintthood like I said is from aos. And it means holy. It means sanctified. It means blameless. Hallelujah. It means blameless. Okay. It means um ceremonial consecr who said it. He said usually used more in the context of artifacts found in the tabernacle or you know when uh all those uh uh uh

1:48:29 uh what do they call it now? Uh um cups, spoons, things, you know, that are that that are found, you know, in the in the in the tabernacle. Let let me let me let me let me uh let me read what what is he what he said you know to you you know and all that. Okay. So Dr. Mounds or professor mounds. All right. Not mouse mounds. All right. He said separated from common condition and use. He said for some he said aos means to be separated from common condition and use to be dedicated. He said to be hallowed. He said used of things especially things

1:49:14 in the sanctuary and also of a person especially things used in the sanctuary and also of a person now and because this thing I'm saying you are going to need it as we study further of matters and artifact used in the temple and then also of things first of all in the sanctuary all right and of a person that's what you know Dr. man said praise God and I'm coming back to that he said consider blameless okay another one says you know religious but it's holy so when you say to the saints you are saying to the sanctified you are saying to the consecrated hey glory to God you are saying to the man who is blameless before God so the word saint

1:50:00 when Paul says to the saint in Corinth he's looking at everything that you are doing your misbehavior and everything and he looks all your actions and with that present he says before God where you stand your agos >> come on say that out loud say I'm aos >> now so when we talk about aos and these things now now the let me this this will help you when I did did a study on the on that word all right aos in the sin in the new testament all right I mean maybe even the entire bible 168 times when I checked it is often used for the word holy

1:50:48 only about 60 times is he used for the word saint saint or saintly but in more times the word aios so that means listen sometimes when you were studying the scriptures and you saw the word holy if you check the word used there aos there actually is actually saint So sometimes the word ages or most times sorry it is used as holy apostle what are you saying because it carries the note of somebody that the lord has consecrated and separated for a use. It does not carry the note of a title. Now the Catholics and some other you know and all that may use it more as

1:51:34 titles sent oh you know it look like you have a position now but in the sight of God it is not a title it's a condition that God looks at you and he says holy he looks at you he says sanctified he yes you are holy you are sanctified you are a you are saintly now when we talk about this consecration and sanctification all of you Listen because as I'm speaking now some things are coming to your mind. There are two dimensions everything in the Bible that you must know. There is number one what we call positional sanctification or positional um holiness. And then we have experiential

1:52:19 sanctification and experiential holiness. Write those two two things down. Positional sanctification. And then we have experiential sanctification. Now I will explain this to you because this is so important. Before I go into anything, let's settle the word saint. I can be sure that and almost 90 p something% of us here have never really sat down to hear teaching on saintthood before. And so it is good if we are going into that to use this opportunity to teach us on distance so that we are wellrounded and well grounded in the understanding because we are going to use the word sent a lot in

1:53:04 the course of this series. So if you are going to use it a lot in the course of this series let's know what it means. Haven't you noticed that when they give you a legal document before you start reading it they first define all the words. How many of you have collected a title deed of a land before? So they first write uh lizour means liz means till they will define all the words so that when you are reading the documents and you see and the lizour shall you will know who the lizo is. So who is the saint it's good we get into it. So number one is that there is positional sanctification, there is positional holiness but there is also experiential sanctification and experiential

1:53:51 holiness. Now what is positional sanctification? It is from the position of or it is from the standpoint of positional sanctification that God can call you a saint even though as of now it seems like you have some struggles in your life because positional sanctification is not based and founded on what you have done. It is founded and based on what Christ has done and that you have decided to be found in him. Now being found in him puts you in a position now. Holy Spirit

1:54:37 are just so beautiful. Thank you. So the Holy Ghost gave me this analogy now or whatever. Now how many of you have been on aircraft lately? lately in recent times. All right. And then you're traveling. I will bring you to car if car is the one you But now in an aircraft, an aircraft takes off. Voom. Legos to Abuja is how many hours by flight? >> Huh? >> One hour most times depending on the plane. All right. Most planes with jet engine move faster than plane with propeller propeller engine. I used to travel alone

1:55:23 to Lagos about 45 minutes. And what was funny was that because I flew over land then so much if you ask me I will tell you that the flight time from Lagos to Eli to Lagos is 45 minutes until Apes came and they brought in jet engines and it was 28 minutes. So it is not and then after a while overland got angry and dropped their propeller engine and they to they brought in jet engines and so usually so sometimes when you are going is 30 minutes no when you are coming is 30 minutes but when you are going sometimes it's 28 29 minutes but this is where I'm going I want to ask

1:56:08 you a simple question that I made a learning to Abuja in 29 minutes was it my effort what my ability did. I run that whatever that position and whatever to be in Abuja was a place where I was in the advantage, the speed, the comfort of everything was not of mine but of the aircraft that I was in. So that position gave me the speed that took me to Abuja in that amount of time. If I were to walk from Lagos to Abuja, I want to ask you, how many days do you think that will be? That I just said I want to stroll from whatever.

1:56:56 Only God knows that's if you make it there on time or if you make it there at all. That's if you make it there at all. By the time you get to or you get to where and all that but positional means based on where you are at certain things are communicated and given to you not of yourself. >> The aircraft was the positioning that took me to are you following what I'm saying? Now if you get into a car and you are moving from Lagos to Ibadon by a road and the road is free you've passed moaf

1:57:42 because you can't really speed between those places and after um uh redemption camp now the road is free and all that and you are 120 kilometers per hour and you are sitting down in the car now now you now begin to feel in your why you're sitting at the bar that you know that is I move at 160 km you are not moving the vehicle is moving at 160 kilometer let us drop you from the car you will see how far you can run if you move from here to here this how you be but the car just keeps moving so what you are enjoying is positional speed when you are in the aircraft and you are in the sky you can be deceived and think you are flying. You are not.

1:58:31 Because the way you can only know this to be true is after you move for a while and you notice that you are from Ibadon and you left Lagos and you can see Ion, you can tell them to drop your hair. Go. So if you tell the pilot, oh, then open it and come down from the aircraft, then you will know that the height you got to was positional height. It was not you because where you should be by yourself once they open the window you come and find yourself where originally you should be I'm in Christ. >> Is somebody following what I'm saying? >> Yes sir. >> In the aircraft is positional height in the car is positional speed. It is not

1:59:17 your speed. So when we talk about sanctification, number one is positional sanctification. Number two is experiential sanctification. And experiential means, are you all? Come on, somebody getting what I'm saying. That now that I am in this place, glory to God, I begin to give expression to my holiness. I begin to give expression. He's also like righteousness. Righteousness is positional and experiential. Positional because the righteousness of God has been communicated to you. But having been communicated to you by position knowing that when you stand before the Lord, you stand as one who is

2:00:04 righteous. Not trying to be I'm not trying to be a saint. >> Hey, come on now. Let me tell somebody to the saints. Tell them remove the word to remove to be there. >> Come on. Come on. Come on. Tell them remove to be. >> Tell them saint. Saint saint. >> I don't even like how I say it. Say saint. S. S. S. >> Praise the Lord. >> I stand before the Lord. Perfect. >> I stand before the Lord. Holy. >> I stand before the Lord. is the reason why such a man apostle Paul can say the kind of thing he said with all the terrible things Apostle Paul did before he became a Christian Apostle Paul made

2:00:49 a statement he said I have wronged no man you have done what sir sir but Apostle Paul said I'm speaking positionally where I am now the old man died A new creature is here. I have wronged no man. Say say I've wronged no man. >> No man. >> I've defrauded no man. >> Amen. >> Are you following what I'm saying? >> Tell somebody beside you, you are a saint. >> Tell them positionally. >> Tell them don't go to experiential first. I say positionally first. >> Amen. Amen.

2:01:36 >> If the church in Corinth of all churches can be called saint, Corinthian church, there is no other church that received the amount of letters. First Corinthians alone is almost 16 chapters. Just 1 Corinthians. When they finish 16 chapter, you'll have thought that Paul has finished. Paul found out that he didn't finish. He started second Corinthian again. He went almost to 13 or 14 chapters again. Just like what a troublesome church. You don't even understand. You see, there are many things this church did. Number one,

2:02:22 don't even start from beginning. Imagine the local assembly all of them started choosing people. So I'm of Paul, I'm of Apollo. So it's like you going say in this church pastor is my own pastor. said no me pastor Tim is my pastor said no no no me is apostle see there is division all manner of division that number one Paul had to be speaking to them so many things Paul had to say to them please don't touch a woman in a certain way they were very sexual and sensual a guy in the church was sleeping with his father's wife

2:03:08 not his mother but his father's His father has aha communion. Oh, you want to go to communion? Food offered to idols. Paul had to be, you see, in Africa, you don't need to write a letter to people about food. Everybody know that. Oh, the Lord. Paul had to write a letter to these ones concerning food offered to idols like you know like this church they will ask questions. Paul was Paul wrote to a point in chapter 15 when they

2:03:54 whatever he wrote he said concerning what he said thou fool as in like another and yet with all their many mistakes the Bible says to the saints because positionally where God looks at them they were saints notice positionally it's just like when your plane is flying on this side another plane is flying then from this plane you are looking at you you know uh plane to plane you're looking at each other and you are saying to oh you know I judge you by the position that you are in you know myself and pastor I traveled out once and pastor went to take this free free package to go on a ship ride

2:04:40 that's I don't take cheap things again they shall give us that oh free that you will go on sheep and that boat a boat ride free and under. So we took it. When I got on the boat, I was not laughing to her. She kept trying to cheer me up. I said, "Babies man." I said, "For what?" He said, "I said, I shouldn't be on this kind of boat. I know where I should be. I I I I know I know I know the kind of boat I should be on. I don't want to say anything that will be very easy but just let me tell you what I mean we are we all tourists in a particular place the next thing is

2:05:27 that they just said all right food is ready go and take food people were running they carried their boat everybody wanted to take another say ah she boat I'm I'm not this is not my kind of boat and while we were there. Another boat just a like a yacht just moved by. I just saw some guys holding champagne glass by the side and all that. He was ging whatever. I told her I said I said she said maybe she smile. People are looking. I said I'm not smiling. I shouldn't be here. That they are fighting for food. Food at

2:06:12 my age. By the time I got there, we finished. One guy now came. He now was not trying to play with us. But he was trying to be nice. He was doing magic. He was doing say by slap you. This is not my boat. Those are my friends over there. I wanted to tell them, can you wait? Let me swim over. I'm not supposed to be here. This one they rushing for food. They rush for water. They rush for food. They at our age. So the only thing is those people in that yard if they look at our own they won't

2:06:59 say a to us. We were not the same. They were descent. I'm just kidding. But I'm saying that when you are now take for instance it's like you riding a ship now. All right. And you're in a boat and you're in the sea and then suddenly you feel I just I'm just trying to tell you a lot about position. Then you feel invincible that look at me. Look at how high the waves are. Look at how I'm surviving. No, there is something you are in that makes that possible. It's positional. Hallelujah. We're saints in Christ. >> Come on, say better.
