I have some people that I consider to be the pastors of the big churches in Nigeria, anointed. The day I met the some of them, I was shocked at their disposition. I was talking to Bishop Oyedepo one day on the phone, and my wife was like, ‘Haha,why is he laughing like that?’, I said, ‘That is how great people do’. I spoke one day, I hardly tell you this but I will tell you. I was privileged to have a call with the MFM G.O, a very kind man. I was shocked the first time, that he laughs so much. My kids spoke to him, he was just laughing, you would think he had a problem. No, that is how it works.
Listen, the Kingdom of God was divided into three, one-third of it is joy. Don’t think I was like this before. I was a gangster head, they trained you. In fact, if you laugh too much beside some people, they will slap you for laughing too much, because they will tell you that nobody will take you serious.
Joy. It is not happiness based on happenings, it is joy unspeakable, it releases glory around you, it influences your atmosphere. Everything blossoms on the glory.
Nehemiah 11:17. People just used to pray, but this guy, Mattaniah, added thanksgiving. Philippians 4:6.
I sat beside a man in the plane, he was going for treatment, I said, ‘What is wrong with you?
He used to take tablets without water and he went and damaged a part in his body, because tablet ought to be taken “with” water. Prayer is not prayer except it is with thanksgiving.
I’m not saying prayer is useless, but I’ve seen prayer warriors that are broke. In fact, we grew up believing that prayer warriors and deliverance ministers actually don’t end well, the few ones I know today, who are deliverance ministers and are still standing, are praise worshippers. You don’t touch some things without praise, that’s your covering. Your gate is praise, that’s what protects you, don’t joke with it. In fact, if you see yourself a success, every month, dedicate a day that your office, your company, will praise. Try it.
