Let's dive in.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

Life's goal is not ministry, life's goal is ministering to God, being faithful to what God gave you. God would have hugged that guy with one talent. Because remember, it was God who gave servants. If you still read that, it was God who gave. That means God, this man was so wise, a king, he came, he built everything, and then he gave talents. And it says there's something beautiful, they'll set you free. Because most performance happens in the worship team. My brother will tell me. I'm telling you, when you're set free, your worship will go to another level. When they see you, they'll say, Oh my god, he did nothing, but we all felt something. The guy did so nothing, but we all felt why they are hearing more than an instrument, they are hearing your spirit. We are ministering guitars, keyboards, beatbox. No, we are ministering spirits. The spirit flows through the guitar, flows through the keyboard, flows through the drums, flows through the saxophone. You can hear it. Praise God. We are ministering spirits. In this revival, people will hear your spirit, they will be ministered by your spirit, and that's what makes worship great. It's not what we sing and how we sing and what it's about the spirit that carries the worship.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

You're reading something? Yes, the the same chapter that you're referring to, that okay Matthew 25, 14. For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.

SPEAKER_02 2:21

Ah, give gifts, say give gifts. Do you know every one of you has a gift? Everyone you're sitting as a gift. Know from where you have been blessed. Do you know? And celebrate it. Be very secure. Be very secure. Be very happy. Be very happy when someone goes ahead, knowing that your ability, talent has been given to you according to your ability. And God will visit you in that cycle and come. And He'll say, Well done. Enter my joy. Take more. Take more. It never did you see one word, a comma also different between the five and the? So that should what? Bless your heart. It is not the amount you do in ministry, it's how faithful you were with what was given to you. One camera was given to you, one symbol was given to you, one chair was given to you, one work was given to you. How faithful were you in that God watched it? And I tell you, this is the principle, this is the bedrock of how God increases. He gave them according to their ability. Talents were given according to ability, capacity.

SPEAKER_00 3:49

Yes, Prophet, it's in verse 15. And to one he gave five talents, to another he gave two, and to another one, he gave one. To each according to his own ability. Oh my God.

SPEAKER_02 4:01

And immediately so why are we always comparing ourselves with others? You're being set free with this word. May you never walk under comparison. When you see somebody greater than you, thank God. Because something has been given to you according to your ability. Somebody say, Your ability. I'm telling you, this word is doing so much for people I know. Do you know what it is to live a life without being compared? Do you know most of you are suffering because your father compared you to somebody? Do you know why you're suffering today? It's because he said, This sister is better than you, or this brother is better than you. See how he does. See what you do. Was it ever done to you? And that's why you're like that. That day, performance started. That day you could never be happy with another brother going up. Because you were compared. Yet Jesus is saying, Why are you worried? I gave you according to your ability. That means what I made you for. How many of you know the heart is not like the eye, and the eye is not like the ear, and the ear is not like the toes. Do you realize I told you all organs which I can see? How about the face is not like your gallbladder? Have you ever seen one? It's not like your pancreas. Yet, do you know if I take that away, you'll have no face? Yet there is one stuck inside working continuously, hidden to keep your face. So, you who do you think on that day God will bless more? The hidden one or the one who's will he not bless the one who sat in humility and just worked on himself? Or will you think that he's going to bless the fingers that kept putting makeup on a face and being unhappy with what they God gave them and saying, I wish I had that person's hair, I wish I had that person's face. Hey, thank God. There's some organs inside that don't need all that. And yet they are working day and night to keep your face shining. Can you praise God? Wisdom. You're getting wisdom today. What you're getting? Wisdom. Somebody say comparison, I tear it out of my life. 30 seconds, pray in tongues. Pray loudly and say, This is the end of comparison from today.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

According to your ability, God is giving you a gift. That means you do not need to fight anyone else.

SPEAKER_02 7:04

That means I am free to thank God when I see a better person ahead of me.

SPEAKER_01 7:10

Come on, somebody, you're being delivered of a demon, a demon that is not going to survive the revival that you're going to carry.

SPEAKER_02 7:21

Rakhambro seprateya. This is the blessing of being in the house of God. Say comparison is over because I'm secure. Why? Ability, something was given to you according to my ability. I'm fine. Tell your brother, I'm fine. You shine, I'm fine. You shine. No time, no time to stay down anymore. You will fly. So it was given according to what? Shout. His own ability. His what? Own ability. So that means what God has given you according to your God can come back to you and give you double. But he's looking what I gave you according to your own ability. Can you multiply that? That means what he gave people, he only came back to see. Did you conquer all your insecurity? Did you conquer all your fears? Did you conquer all your greed? Did you conquer all your shadows that roam in your head? Did you attack them and kill them enough to be satisfied with what I gave you and multiply what I gave you without being offended about everyone who had more than you? Because the one who gave it to you in the first place can come and give you ten times more. And that's what he did. When he came back, he said, the guy with five came and said, I made ten. And the guy with two came and said, I made. God said the same thing. You read it. God said the same thing about the two who made four and the five who made ten. He didn't make distinction between both of them. That what does that tell you about God? God is not in the book of numbers. He's moved to Ephesians. How big is your church? Hey, brother. I said, uh, we don't believe in numbers. Numerology, I'm naikilt. Said what? No, but how much? 30, 40, 50. I said, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's a secret. I said, Nas one chase thousand. Two, ten thousand. If you want numbers, multiply them. You'll get the number. But I'm telling you, when this God arrived, he never made a difference. Read it, please, so that they get it. He never came and said, but I he the guy with two never got offended with the guy with five. But yet the five never got up and said, Do you know Jesus said the same words you read it, he'll read it. The same words what he said to the five, he said to the two. Why should he have not said greater to the five who made ten? Because it was given on ability. That means if he give Nick Vejjoykovich, who doesn't have legs and arms, a gift, he's not going to ask him and say, Why didn't you become the fastest runner? That's why you see that man overcome everybody. Because he understood it's according to my ability, not my capacity. That means I may not have legs and hands, but I still got something that God has given me that I can multiply.

SPEAKER_01 11:07

I still you cannot get up and tell God I don't have something.

SPEAKER_02 11:11

God will say, I've still given you something that you can multiply. Will you stop comparing yourself to others and get on the work to become a profitable servant?

SPEAKER_00 11:24

Amen. Amen. Prophet, what are you referring to?

SPEAKER_02 11:28

For I want you to read this, okay? Hear it with him so that you'll know that we are not quoting anything. I want you to see when he reads it, the same words that he said to five, he said to two.

SPEAKER_00 11:39

Yes. For the ones, for the one who received five, verse 21, he says, His Lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant. You were faithful over a few things, I will make you a ruler over many things. Can we all read that together? One, two, three. His Lord said to him, His Lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant. You were faithful over a few things. I will make you a ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord. Did you get that? Yes. Now let's go and see what he said to the two. And verse 23. For the for the one who got two, his Lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will make you ruler over many. Enter into the joy of the Lord. You tell me, what did he miss?

SPEAKER_02 12:36

Yet you make day after day, it ends today. It ends today. That means you will be about your father's business. That means what God has given you, you start multiplying that. You don't worry about who's ahead of you, who's shining more. That is his worry between him and God. But I have been given something according to my ability. For that reason, I shall make my master proud. Go back to the previous one, the five one. What did he say to him again?

SPEAKER_00 13:14

His Lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant. You were faithful over a few things. I will make you ruler over many things.

SPEAKER_02 13:23

So, how do you increase the gifts on your life? By being faithful with what God gave you. On time, before time. I sent you people who could give you everything. Yet you came for your own agenda. And then when you never got it, you got angry. Because you still don't realize how I increase things in your life. How do I increase things in your life? How does God increase things in your life? He doesn't increase it by you running with the man of God's suitcase, he doesn't increase it by you doing, he increases it by you being faithful to what he's placed in your life. And then when he visits you and he says, Well done, I'm gonna increase your capacity. Do you realize both of them entered into the joy of the Lord? The joy of the Lord, the joy, the joy. It was never about He's doing more, he's got more reach, he's got father ministry, he's got greater medical science and wonders. No, no, no, no. It is his capacity, it is ability. But God gave you something he's gonna ask you about. Yeah, not whether you have WWW or worldwide reach ministry. What were you given and could you do that? God would say, Enter the joy of the Lord. And it was so simple, and yet we made it so hard. 40 years of our life we have been comparing ourselves with ends today.

SPEAKER_01 15:26

I set you free in the mutiname of celebrate it, celebrate it. This word is removing every demon of comparison, of unsatisfaction, of burden, of sadness. Do you know this demon can make you sad?

SPEAKER_02 15:48

This demon can make you not laugh, this demon can make you unappreciated, this demon can make you not receive the love of God. Because you're always aiming for something when you don't realize it, you got it. You're asking for something you already got. It ends today. You are free. Say I am free. Hey, celebrate it if you're free. You may be seated. You will be serving God even more beautifully. You'll be serving God unhindered. And guess what? You know what's the best part? You'll enjoy. You'll enjoy life. For all of you who have had many siblings and you've been compared, say amen. You know how that feels, right? Does it feel like the oil of gladness? Does it feel like the balm of Gilead? No, it makes you feel worthless, and it makes you struggle. Struggle. Struggle for appreciation, struggle to be accepted. You it's your end of your struggle. From today, you shall never just find out what God has given you and work to multiply it. Multiplication. When I looked at that uh that um parable, I got shocked. I got shocked because I always thought that that guy was so scared about God. He was so and I was wondering how did he have that opinion about God? You should be asking, no, where did he get that identity about God? What was his identity? If you read that, what what did he say? What did he say? He said, I knew you to be a tough task master that you reap where you don't, and you sow where you don't reap. Meaning, what he's saying is that means you basically come and take a tithe of something you never worked. You take an offering from which you've not worked for.

SPEAKER_00 18:11

Yeah, it says in verse 24, then he who had received one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you were to be you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

So what is he saying? He's saying, You you you you you you are not the one who scattered seed, I worked. I scattered seed, and you're coming to reap it. So, my question is, where did he get this understanding? Who supplied him with this image of God? Who gave him this profile of a king?

SPEAKER_01 18:52

Who called you when you were sitting in a dumpyard in the first place? With no oil on your life? Did you forget that one talent came from a king?

SPEAKER_02 19:07

It started with a king who gave you something that you could never see. You were a servant, he put something in your hand. So, how did you come with this understanding about this man? Search it, search it, search it and kill it in your life. This is the work of Satan, Lucifer. He's a you have to always go to your beginnings. My father always says this if you don't know the grace on your life, click a photo two years later, and two years now, you'll come to know. Every time I look at my snap, I said, I know my beginning. I know my yeah, I know my beginning. That itself, will you all do that? Take a photo now, and after two years, take a photo after this word. You'll come to know what you've become. Whom the sun sets free, you are free indeed today. You are free. You are oh, I see weights lifting up in the spiritual realm. I see weights, weights, they are just lifting up without you even knowing it. Just let this word go deep in your heart. But God is saying, if you really believe, son, from today, work with what you got, double it, come into my joy. And change the way you work, change the way you move, change the way you react with people. Judah, your hands shall be on the necks of thy enemies. Why? Because Judah did one thing that most people don't do. In this revival, you shall have great real estate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't don't ever look at your bank. Your bank is not going to be ready to have to to be able to give you what God is going to give you. You'll not afford it. It is given. This landowner has a way of showing up when you have multiplied talents. I'm mixing two, but you stay with me. Every time you noticed he came when the five had made it ten and the two had made it four, he came back. He didn't come when it was still two. That means God knows timing. He came at that time when he knew, and he knew the one had put it away. So that's That means can you imagine the ones who will go to hell will not be the ones who went to hell because of what they did, but because they had a wrong image of the king. That man was not evil, he was deceived. Somebody put in his head that your king, that master, is a hard task master. That means he just doesn't love you, he'll make you work hard. He'll come and take your tithe and he'll take your offering, and so you you you do one thing, you just put it here and continue your life. So then I asked God, how did that guy with two five talents make ten? And how did the guy with two make four? Are you interested? You know how they really make talent? You know how you really make oh, this is gonna set you free. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Listen, I'm giving you a secret, and I'm gonna come and ask everyone next Sunday what you did with this secret. This is the secret of that parable as revealed to the Lord to me. It's not written in your Bibles. When the Bible says that they traded, that word is used traded. Can you tell me what the Greek is anybody has? Anything to give me the I just want to see, I don't know what it is, but I'm just narrowing on that word. That word is traded, right? He went and took the five and he traded it and made ten. Correct? He made another five. And the two traded it and made it what four. What is that word in Hebrew or Greek? What does it mean? Emporian, what is it meaning in in English? Center of commerce. Wow. Do business, have dealings. So basically, this is how it worked. God gave him something. Everybody say God gave him something. And he took that something which God gave and used it profitably to double it. So you have to think that you didn't have anything. What did God give you? What did God give you? God gave you his name. And you're supposed to market it, profit from it, use it, center of commerce, center of business, expansion, scalable models. With that one name, you're supposed to come back and say, Look what I've done. I've given you a name above all names. And every time at that name, every knee will bow on earth and in heaven and even under the earth. That this name I give you works. So this guy basically took something that the king gave him. Everybody said, took something that the king gave him. And look at it, he made value.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

Find out what God gave you. You should know what God gave you. Because when you got born again, he gave you a gift. No one has the same one.

SPEAKER_02 26:05

He gave you something. And over time you tend to forget that because of levelations. But yet it was the ten five became ten because of that one thing that he gave. And that entered him into more responsibility. Did you hear me saying more gifts? He said, I'll put you now in charge of ten more cities. Just to be grateful and say, God, thank you. Thank you, Lord. I know from where I've come. And if I have something today, it's because of the talent you put in my hand.
