INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
THERE ARE SO MANY CHRISTIANS THAT ARE TAUGHT A KIND OF FAITH THAT IS A PASSIVE FAITH
A FAITH THAT MAKES PEOPLE CONTENT FOR JUST HEAVEN WHILE OTHERS POSSESS EARTH
BUT MY FAITH IS A RADICAL FAITH
IT IS NOT A PASSIVE FAITH
IT IS NOT A FAITH THAT WILL NEGLECT WHAT THE SCRIPTURES HAVE TAUGHT ME
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN JUST SITTING IN YOUR BED, WAITING ON GOD
YOU CANNOT JUST SIT AROUND AND WAIT ON THE LORD
LIFE WILL PASS YOU BY
YOU ARE NOT WAITING ON THE LORD, THE LORD IS WAITING ON YOU
THE KINGDOM SUFFERS VIOLENCE AND THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE
YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT BY FORCE
SOMEONE SAY, TAKE IT BY FORCE
IT IS NOT COMING TO YOU UNLESS YOU TAKE IT
IT WON’T COME IN WHILE YOU ARE WATCHING THE CRICKET GAME
IT WON’T COME IN WHILE YOU ARE EATING RADABILOBIE
EVERYBODY THAT JESUS CALLED WAS BUSY
YOU DON’T SEE JESUS CALLING SLEEPY PEOPLE
NO LAZY PEOPLE
GOD USES PEOPLE THAT MOVE
READ ;
YOU HAVE KINGS AND NATIONS IN YOU
YOU ARE BARREN RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU HAVE KINGS AND NATIONS IN YOU
YOU ARE BROKE RIGHT NOW BUT YOU HAVE KINGS AND NATIONS...
YOU ARE LONELY RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU HAVE.......
SO, YOU CANNOT JUDGE WHAT IS IN YOU BY WHAT YOU SEE AROUND YOU

IF FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THEN HOPE IS THE STAR AND FAITH IS THE SUPPORTING ACTOR
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A HOPE, THEN FAITH HAS NO JOB
THE REASON THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET PEOPLE TO COME TO CHURCH IS THAT THEY HAVE LOST HOPE
FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD
BUT, WHEN YOUR FAITH HAS NOTHING TO DO, THEN YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY
WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE TO COME TO CHURCH IS SO THAT YOU CAN FEED YOUR FAITH
THEN, IF YOUR FAITH ISN’T DOING ANYTHING AND YOUR FAITH IS NOT HUNGRY AND YOUR FAITH CAN’T DO ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE NO HOPE
IF THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU ARE JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS
IF YOUR LIFE IS JUST ROUTINE, THEN YOU ARE NOT EVEN REALLY LISTENING TO ME THIS MORNING
THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN A PROCESS, IN A FIGHT, IN A BATTLE, PURSUING AFTER SOMETHING, TRYING TO LIVE FOR CHRIST, HUNGRY
SAYING, COME ON NOW, GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD
I NEED SOMETHING FROM HEAVEN
I DID NOT COME HERE TO SHOW MY NEW HAIR
I CAME HERE TO FEED MY FAITH
I AM IN A FIGHT RIGHT NOW AND I NEED SOME WORD THAT WILL ANCHOR ME SO THAT I CAN GO FORWARD
ALL OF THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE DAYDREAMING AND PLAYING ON YOUR PHONE
WHY DO YOU NEED A MEAL IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO EAT ANYTHING
HOPE IS AN EXPECTED END
IT IS NOT NECESSARILY A SPECIFIC PROCESS
HOPE IS AN EXPECTED END
WHEN IT IS ALL OVER
THIS IS WHAT I AM HOPING FOR
HOPE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PROCESS
IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH DESTINATION
I MAY HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY I POSSESS MY PROMISE
BUT, I’M STILL HOPING FOR MY PROMISE
WE HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT FAITH, FAITH, FAITH, FAITH
BUT, THEY JUST ACCEPT WHATEVER COMES AND MANY PEOPLE ACCEPT WHAT IS LESS BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TO PAY THE PRICE
BVUT, WHEN YOU ARE PASSIONATE, YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT THE COST
I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE, I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE AN INCONVENIENCE, I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE TOUGH BUT I REFUSE TO RECEIVE LESS THAN GOD’S BEST
ALL AROUND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAPPY WITH LESS THAN WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED THEM
I SEE PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVEN QUIT AND GIVEN UP ON THEIR DREAM WHEN THEY ARE 30
BUT I WILL NOT GIVE UP
IT MAY TAKE LONGER, BE HARDER, PAY MORE, GO THIS WAY WHEN I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING THAT WAY
BUT WHEN IT IS OVER I SHALL HOLD GOD’S PROMISE IN MY HAND
I LIKE PEOPLE WHO WON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
PEOPLE WHO WON’T TAKE LESS THAN WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU
I NEED FAITH AND FAITH IS MANUFACTURED IN THE FACTORY OF WORD
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
WHEN I COME TO HEAR THE WORD, I AM FEEDING MY FAITH
I WOULD RATHER HAVE A BAD PERSON TO COOK THAN A BAD PREACHER
I WOULD RATHER HAVE A BAD DENTIST THAN A BAD PREACHER
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MY FAITH
I WANT A LION IN THE PULPIT
I DON’T WANT A PUSSY CAT
I WANT A LION IN THE PULPIT
I WANT SOMEONE WHO STILL HAS A ROAR
I DIDN’T COME TO SMELL YOU OR LOOK AT YOU
I CAME BECAUSE SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN
HOPE IS AN EXPECTED END
IT SAYS, WHEN IT IS ALL OVER, I’M GOING TO PREACH SOMETHING, BUILD SOMETHING, MEKE SOMETHING HAPPEN
I WILL NOT RECEIVE LESS
EVEN IF I HAVE TO START OVER, EVEN IF IT TOOK LONGER THAN I EXPECTED, EVEN IF I HAVE TO CRAWL PART OF THE WAY
I WILL FIGHT EVERY MORNING BUT I’M NOT LEAVING THIS EARTH UNTIL I APPREHEND THE PROMISES OF GOD
IF YOU BEAT ME ON MONDAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO BEAT ME ON TUESDAY......
WHEN GOD COMES TO SPEAK TO ABRAHAM, HE COMES BECAUSE ABRAHAM IS READY TO SETTLE FOR LESS
HE JUST WANTS TO SETTLE
HE LOVES GOD BUT HE WILL ACCEPT LESS
TOOK TOO LONG, TOO TOUGH, TOO MANY OPPOSITIONS
JUST WANTS WHAT HE HAS
MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT GOD SAID
MAYBE IT WASN’T FOR ME
MAYBE I DON’T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE
PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS SETTLE HAVE A MAYBE
THIS IS HOW THEY NUMB THEIR HOPE BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN OF NOT POSSESSING THE PROMISE, SO YOU MOVE THE GOAL TO LINE UP WITH WHERE YOU ARE
1. COVENANT BEFORE CIRCUMCISION:
1. COVENANT BEFORE CIRCUMCISION:
GOD GIVES ABRAHAM THE COVENANT BEFORE THE CIRCUMCISION
CIRCUMCISION IS SYMBOLIC OF THE CUTTING AWAY OF THE FILTH OF THE FLESH
IT IS SYMBOLIC OF THE CUTTING AWAY OF THAT WHICH IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE PRODUCTIVE
IT IS SYMBOLIC OF THE CUTTING AWAY OF THAT WHICH IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE RE-PRODUCTIVE
IF IT IS NOT HELPING YOU GET TOP YOUR PROMISE, CUT IT OFF
IF YOU ARE NOT ON MY TEAM; SNIP, SNIP, SNIP
I DON’T HATE YOU BUT YOU ARE NOT NECESSARY FOR PRODUCTION
THE COVENANT COMES BEFORE THE CIRCUMCISION
THE COVENANT IS THE PROMISE
THE PROMISE HAS COME TO ABRAHAM BEFORE THE CIRCUMCISION SO THAT YOU WON’T THINK THAT THE CIRCUMCISION EARNED THE COVENANT
GOD SAYS, I’M GOING TO MAKE YOU THE PROMISE WHILE YOU STILL HAVE NO SIGN OF THE COVENANT AND YOU HAVEN’T CUT AWAY WHAT IS NOT NECESSARY
I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE COVENANT ON CREDIT
YOU ARE NOT CIRCUMCISING SO THAT YOU CAN GET THE COVENANT
YOU GET THE COVENANT AND THEREFORE YOU ARE CIRCUMCISING
THE COVENANT IS THE EXPECTED END
THE CIRCUMCISION IS PART OF THE PROCESS
YOU DO NOT GET RIGHT SO THAT YOU CAN GET SAVED
YOU GET SAVED SO THAT YOU CAN GET RIGHT
IF YOU COULD GET RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET SAVED YOU WOULD NOT NEED TO GET SAVED
THAT’S WHY WHEN YOU GET SAVED YOU CANNOT PRAISE YOURSELF
IT IS GOD AND GOD ALONE WHO DID THE WORK
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A HOPE IN YOUR SPIRIT THEN YOU DON’T HAVE A CHANCE AT CIRCUMCISING THE FLESH
NO NEED TO TEACH ANY CLASSES ON DISCIPLINE
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TEACH SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A DISCIPLE
YOU THINK THAT YOU NEED MORE DISCIPLINE
NO YOU DON’T; YOU NEED A COVENANT
YOU NEED A PROMISE, A HOPE, A GOAL
IF YOU ARE GOING TO PHYSICALLY TRAIN FOR SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GOAL IN MIND
YOU CANNOT BE ON THE TREADMILL AND SEE YOURSELF FAT
SEEING YOURSELF FAT WILL MAKE YOU HAVE ANOTHER ROSHGOLLA
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GOAL ON WHAT YOU ARE AFTER WHETHER YOU GOT IT OR NOT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE GOAL IN MIND
2. CHANGE YOUR NAME WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR GAME:
2. CHANGE YOUR NAME WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR GAME:
GOD SAID IF THIS IS A GAME CHANGING MOMENT THEN THIS IS A NAME CHANGING MOMENT
DO NOT HAVE A NEW GAME WITH YOUR OLD NAME
YOU ARE TRYING TO HAVE A NEW GAME AND A NEW ENCOUNTER AND A NEW WALK AND A NEW LIFE BUT YOU ARE STILL KEEPING YOUR OLD NAME
LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THIS IS A GAME CHANGER SO IT IS A NAME CHANGER
A NAME CHANGER MAY MEAN A FRIEND CHANGER
YOU CANNOT BE WHO YOU WERE AND BE WHO YOU ARE AT THE SAME TIME
YOU HAVE TO DECIDE
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS THING IT IS TIME TO CHANGE YOUR NAME
WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME YOU ARE SAYING AN OUTWARD SIGN EVERYTHING ABOUT ME IS GOING TO LINE UP WITH WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN MY LIFE
YOU WERE SARAI, NOW YOU ARE GOING TO BE SARAH
YOUR NAME IS GOING TO LINE UP WITH YOUR DESTINY
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING
IF YOU RE A CLASSY WOMAN THEN EVERYTHING ABOIUT YOU SHOULD BE CLASSY
DON’T HIDE YOUR CLASS IN LOOSENESS AND THEN GET MAD BECAUSE I DON’T SEE IT
YOU SHOULD DRESS, WALK, TALK, STAND LIKE YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING
CHANGE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED TO CHANGE TO LINE UP WITH WHERE YOU ARE GOING NOW
IF YOU ARE NOT DOOSRA DILLIP AND ARE NOW HOLY HARISH THEN GET RID OF YOUR DOOSRA DILLIP THINGS
CHANGE YOUR FACEBOOK SITE, CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES, TAKE DOOSRA DILLIP OFF OF YOUR INSTAGRAM
IT IS TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE
YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS WITH A NEW GAME IF YOU ARE WALKING AROUND WITH AN OLD NAME
GOD WANTS EVERYTHING ABOUT ABRAHAM’S LIFE TO LINE UP WITH WHERE HE IS GOING
IF YOU ARE GOING FISHING DON’T WEAR A SUIT
YOUR DESTINY HAS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
HOW COULD A PERSON BE SECRETLY PREGNANT
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HIDE IT A COUPLE OF MONTHS BUT AFTER A WHILE WHAT IS ON THE INSIDE IS GOING TO SHOW ON THE OUTSIDE
IF YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CANNOT BE SECRETLY PREGNANT THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CANNOT BE SECRETLY GREAT
IF YOU ARE TRULY GREAT, YOU WON’T HAVE TO TELL ME THAT YOU ARE GREAT
THERE WILL BE A SIGN OF GREATNESS ON YOU AND AFTER A WHILE I WILL TELL YOU, YOU’RE GREAT
YOU CANNOT BE SECRETLY PREGNANT
THE OUTSIDE CHANGES ECAUSE THE INSIDE CHANGES
THE COVENANT COMES BEFORE THE CIRCUMCISION
THE PREGNANCY COMES BEFORE THE MATERNITY CLOTHES
PEOPLE SPEND ALL THEIR TIME TRYING TO CONVINCE OTHERS THINGS THAT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THEMSELVES
THEN, GOD SAYS TO ABRAHAM, EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE IS GOING TO BE CIRCUMCISED
EVERYTHING BORN OUT OF YOU
EVERYTHING ADOPTED BY YOU
EVERYTHING BOUGHT BY YOU

WHEN YOU BUY INTO SOMETHING EVERYBODY CONNECTED TO YOU
