Welcome to track #35 of break forth and become who you can become. Rich people believe, OK, I'm going to give you what I'm going to give you. I'm going to compare. Amen. Whereas I'm going to compare, when I tell you what the rich people do, I'll tell you what the poor people do. OK, So we can call this mentality of a rich man or of a man who will become rich. OK #1 Rich people believe I create my life. Poor people believe life happens to me. What do rich people believe? Yeah, I'm not. I'm not saying that it is the right thing. What I'm saying is that these are the characteristics of rich people, whereas poor people believe that things just happened. It's my, it's my portion. It happens. That's what happens to you. Destiny zimbo #2 rich people, rich people are committed to becoming rich. Poor people want to be rich. Every prophecy wants to be rich by rich people are committed to becoming rich. There is a difference between wanting something and being committed to it. That's why when you ask how many want everybody leaves his hand, Do you believe everybody leaves his hand? But those who are committed to all the principles we have shared about apes, how apes are not able to break out, what's holding them back, what's a little different that's making a big difference. What's the problem, what's the problem, what's the problem? We have shared it. What is happening to death and that they cannot be connected, they cannot learn, they cannot be employed. A person who will be rich is committed to this, to changing these things and doing these things. Whether it's set today and whether it's never repeated. It's true. The characteristic skills, and that's why we are saying that a rich person, the people in America feel that it's caused by personal traits and that poor people should not be compensated for their failure and their failings and their persistent, intractable failures #3 rich people think big, poor people think small. Mercy, yeah. You see, all of you must have big dreams, big visions. It's not just by saying it, but you must have a vision, A dream to have a big church must have that vision. Not that the church will happen to you. Everybody wants a big church. But a pastor who becomes a certain way is committed to this rich church coming on. Are you listening to me #4 Rich people focus on opportunities, rich people focus on the opportunities. If you remember, one of the cause, the cause of persistent poverty was failure to take advantage of opportunities. So rich people focus on opportunities and poor people focus on obstacles. It will tell you all the problem, this, this, this, that, that you see over here, you see now this, this happened that, that, that, this, that, like that. You get it? Hey, number 5123, rich people admire other rich and successful people. Zebra limbo. Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people. I'm telling you, mentality, they resent them. You see, this is what has been found though. This is what this is when you take the statistics. That's why as a leader, I keep on saying certain things because I know if I'm successful, people are around, are not so successful, they start to resent you. Resent, please resent. They start to resent you. That's why I say certain things and I preach about setting so because then people begin to resent. Why do you have this? Why don't I have this? Because poor people resent rich people. Yes, AOL 87. Make sure they don't resent you. Make sure your followers love you. Make sure they don't resent you. What does resent? It means? Feel bitterness or indignation at someone. Are you there? Rich people have been found to have a lot of supporters. Rich people have a lot of supporters who are people are often in relationships with people who don't believe in them, which is very sad. It is like having a left weight attached to your ankle. Millionaires surround themselves with people who believe in them. So you see the same multiply senior pastor thing has come again. You organize and ensure you are surrounded by people who like you, who believe in you, not that you are just alone. Kevin, do you see, like how you are alone in you are alone in Dwalla? It's not. It's not a trait of a rich person. Do you see? Yeah. Because a rich person surrounds himself with people. You see what we are talking about. It's not a teaching room. It's an observation. The traits of people who are rich. Watch them carefully. You see those realities? Yeah. So as we are all alone there, giving explanations and so on, it does not work. I mean, do you see why Cape Town did not work? Because you are alone? Yeah, it's rich people surround. I'm surrounded by a lot of people who believe in me. I have people who are ready to die for me. I tell you. Although when we were in Nigeria and we were attacked, I was not sure whether people were taking cover or. Overlook. Yeah, all of you who are alone, I'm telling you it's a characteristic. It's a characteristic. It's a character. Ugandans. You see what I was saying, which people surrounded? That's why if and you say he said most people. Did I tell you that part? Most people, He says, most people are even in primary relationships with people who don't believe in them. Yeah, which is very sad. It's like having a LED with. So if I was Fifi and I realized that Ben does not believe in me to that extent. In other words, he believes himself to the extent of wanting to be on his own. I would not capital NOT wants him to be my associate. I want to surround myself with people who feel that I'm great, who feel that I'm wise, who feel that I'm right, who feel that what I'm saying is good, who think that my ideas are the best ideas, who think that what I did to work last time that it will work again. These are the people that I need around me because I am myself. I'm afraid whether I'm right or wrong. Yeah, I'm not sure myself. So if I have somebody who really believes that, I feel better. I see people don't understand the power of relationships and synergy, synergy, synergy. Interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. Say it again. Synergy that is produced by having another person and a third person. Say it again. Synergy. Interaction. An interaction. Or cooperation of. Operation of. Two or more organizations. Of two or more organizations. Substances. Or other agents. Or agents. Which can be pastors. To produce a combined. Effect to produce a combined effect. Great. Greater than the sum. Of their separate effects. Separate effects, yeah, Standard Ben, standard Fifi. Now both of you have been in Uganda, in Kampala. Now the if the sum, when we put the effect of Ben's church, let's say we have 70 people and the effect of Fifi's church, let's say you have 60 people. Now the sum of that is 130. Now if you work synergistically together, you are going to have what does it say you are going to? Produce a combined effect. So the combined effect. Greater than the sum will be. Greater. So the combined effect of the two of you, if you are working synergistically together, will produce an effect which is greater than 70 + 60, yes. So you would have maybe 250 people by being together, but you alone may have 70, you alone may have 60 or 100, so you get 170, but together you produce that. That's synergy. And there's a lot of synergy when it comes to business and industries and so on. This business makes this business work and this one makes it. The bottle making factory is very happy with the the top, the one who makes the top making factory. And then the printer is also happy because it's making the billboards and whatever. And the video maker who has to make the adverts is very happy about it. And then the water company which is providing the water for the drink plus the actual drink company and then the electricity company is very happy. So the TV station is also very happy. So if that's what we call synergies, all of them work together and by their existence with each other cause more profits for everybody. That's why they say you must have industries in the country, not just farms. Do you understand? Because if there's a tomato factory in the North, you get it. It will need electricity, Electricity, corporation, they will need water, they will need management, they will need lands, houses, they need accommodation. So those who are property owners who have their houses rented out, the people who make tin to make the cans will be very happy. The people who print the labels will be very happy. Now cars, transportation, businesses will become happy. Those who sell fuel will be happy. Banks will be happy to form a bank, Employees of the bank. So one industry, that is why they talk about industrialization. It changes the country even if it is not an efficient industry is better than having no industry, which is what we are having now. I think people can now be minister of Economic and Finance. You seem to understand that thing easily now. Yes, Sir. Of the combined effort being greater than the sum of the individuals is also symbolized by 2 + 2 is equal to 5. Like that's how they call it in business. So. There is 2 + 2. He gets to and he gets to issue before, but when they are combined, is 2 + 2 is equal to 5. That's how it's. Defined but. If you know all this, why have you not changed the nation? I don't know your full time associate in your church. You have you have any synergistical associate pastor? You are going to get one now, Charlie. It is too fantastic. The thing is that we are reading it. So what what we call is that the ape culture has the ability to be taught and also the ability to cooperate. It's limited, but you see. So if you're coming together will not be synergistic, then you should not come together. Amen. What do you think? Rich people have a lot of supporters. Wow, it's amazing. Rich people have a lot of supporters. Poor people enter relationships with people who don't believe in them because they are not alert or even concerned about when people believe in them or not. That's why I went. Pastor Brian asked that he wanted to go to Sacramento and I said why not Pastor? If I was back when I was moving, I would ask Pastor Brian to. I would prefer it was my childhood. The pastor who has been with me and has worked with me synergistically for so many years, because it's not easy to get somebody who can synergistically work with you. Rich people have a lot of supporters. Tell us all, rich people have a lot of supporters. Kevin, stand up. Who are your supporters? No supporter. Is he rich or is he poor? Takra, stand up. Do you have supporters in Sacramento? I mentioned 3 or 4 of. Them. They. Supported you so much that they did what? They move. Yeah, one of them is called whatever. Kofi Hassan and others I've tried, I've passed. I'm so I've tried to transfer him to Wow. He said he wouldn't go to Zambia, he wouldn't go everywhere. When Kaka moved to a case. I'm also Who are you able to move? Hey, synergistic rich people have what, a lot of supporters. It's a characteristic of rich people. And he's richer than most of you here. Poor people enter into relationship with people who don't believe in them. They're not even conscious of people around. I don't have anybody who really likes me, who flows with me, who loves me. It's like, oh, yeah, I just. Oh, let me give me one of the Bible students. OK, What's your name? This. OK, Come, let's go. More people enter into primary relationship with people who don't believe in them. For gay for gay For gay. Yeah, this some will this to some way when I'm talking I see people are quiet. I immediately suspect them. Immediately I suspect them. Yeah, I immediately suspect all kinds of. I've heard all kinds of things before. Yeah, it's not last week that we started. One day I was having a meeting and some people came in and then somebody was considered the abstest people. I was asking her, So what? Since when was I re categorized? Because somebody could have also got the older chimotans in the office, or they have casts in the office, or the abstest people, or those in this side, or those in the privileged ones. You see, when you hear such comments, it should send all your antennas zooming to the highest level, although it doesn't mean anything to a simpleton or an ignoramus Jack Simpleton. I'm swinging your intellectual pendulum Simpleton. Rich people have a lot of supporters home support. I wonder whether it's right to. A foolish or gullible? Person a simpleton is what? A foolish or gullible? Person. OK, maybe I should a simple thing will say come and be my assistant, come and work for me. Come and do this without checking certain things. So you are this, you are OK, Come, let's go. Is that poor people enter into primary relationships. Primary means me and then you. These are like two parties away or three primary relationships, People who don't even believe in them. Kelly, sit down. Number what 6-7 Rich people associate with positive and successful people, whereas poor people associate with negative and unsuccessful people. Negative and on what? On what? Unsuccessful. Negative. What is a negative person? A person who complaints? A person who can't see the way forward? A person who is not flowing happily. Such people are your friends, you see, You must associate with a successful person. You must be associated with successful people. Show me your friend. I'll show you your prosperity. Yeah, show me your friend is all your friend are poor people down and out as and making it. People look at me from Africa. I buy tickets and fly to Korea when associate with Yongicho to be in the conference, to be around, to relate without knowing anybody. Yeah. Then when I recognize that I cannot know anyone because I'm nothing in relation to what they are doing there, I see a man who is associated with them, who is relatable to and I decide that based on the circumstances, I better associate with this guy who is also a nobody but is associated. Yes, that's how I got to be associated with them. I don't just associate with Ghanaian pastors. I want to go higher. That's why today there will be a program. Benny Hinn's name will be there. My name will also be there. Yeah, that's why Benny Hinn knows me personally. You see what is your level and what is what is the higher level? Am I forced to be in that higher level? Not that you are trying to join, but you don't want to be unassociated. Humbly associate before you realize you will be swimming, if you swimming, if you swimming and before you realize you'll be associated with something that you are surprised that you associated with. Well, rich people, they associate with rich people. That decision to associate, just to be around, to be there. One thing leads to another. Wow, you see what is your level? It's great. There is a higher level too. There's a level that is out of your scope. You can also find a way of interacting at that level if you are careful and you are patient and you understand protocol. You don't have to be presumptuous. You have to know there's a protocol everywhere. There are some battles. When you fall is the same as falling on the keyboard. When you fall on the keyboard, you can easily fall on the delete. Do you see the marriage counseling Manuel? Many years ago, I was working on it with somebody. She was typing for me a time with the cathedral colleague on her. That is one of the first time that I saw the danger of delete. As we work, it's very hard to work on the book. We worked and worked and worked and worked and worked. Suddenly the lights went off and everything that we had been working on vanished. Yeah. So I learnt from that experience to be careful. And that person was a layperson. She had come from her work to come and help working, working, working with Saturday. Oh, vanished. You can easily be made to vanish if you don't understand protocol. Even Esther, the wife of the king, when they asked her to go and see her husband, she knew that look, he'd be going to see this. But there is a way. I said where you going? Don't just go, I'm going afterwards. My husband. There's a way you have to. There's a way that that is the same as your hand is there now delete. So you see if but if you don't study the way, because when they came and they told the lock, we are going to say, yeah, I know you are going to die. But there is a way. Even if I'm going, I have to find my way to go. Because if you don't find your way to go, you can cause a lot of displeasure and it can turn against you rather. Because when a person senses that you don't respect, when a person says that you are some way and that you are taking everything for granted, that is when you can lose it all. Like I said. Oh, I see. So now you just walk around like that. Just come here. Why didn't you knock? Why? Why didn't you just come out because of Esther? Why not Vasi? What happened to her? She was, she was even nicer than you, foolish girl. And you are even a Jew. I was just told last week that I married a Jew by mistake. Hey, a slave, an orphan. I just found out about your background. I realized you would have been. She said, wait, I have to bath. I have to do my hair because the man likes a particular way of hair. See, I know how to say it, but the man likes particular hairstyle. But see, I'm preaching to you as a particular way of hair. It's as if I don't know how to speak English. I'm the one telling you simpleton and astute and bereft and synergies and parambulations and enigmas and perspicacity. The man likes a certain way of Esther and a setting approach. No matter how how you going, must always show that you respect, no matter how much access you have, must always should have. Esther knew that and she she applied it. She applied it said that this is the way, this is the way, this is the way, this is the way. What? What are we even talking about? And I'm saying that you can associate with the highest level, but there is a way you go. Oh, yeah. And that is why the first interaction to get close to young Icho was to invite somebody who was close to him, who said, well, no, I've never been invited to Africa. I've come. He came one. He came two before I realized I was moving on higher. After the person knows you. The first. Oh, yeah, I know her. She's she's called Ida. She has been the Bishop first. When she was a student, she was singing for him. She's the first person who got married in Adelaide Chapel. Sure, sure. I've been with him for many years. She's saying he travels with her and goes here, here, up and down. She used to be called Gracie's. Change her name to Ida. Hey, I see. I can't explain so many things, so. OK, Let her come. Let her come. And Bishop gave her the name. Oh, I see. Oh, let her come. There's a way that you enter places to the highest level that you need to associate whatever it is. There is a way to tell you and important people and rich people and people of etcetera. They watch people as they come. They don't just come. Sometimes you behave like a family. An irritable fly and irritation that needs to be swatted off. When I saw Kenneth Higgins, I came to him in the chest. I said please pray for. I don't pray for people walking around like he said he met people. And it was later that I listened to his tape that he's in the shopping. He's in the shopping mall with his wife. Somebody can say, can you prophecy to me that he mentioned some English word on the person. He said that he's not. He's the professor when he's an anointing, not especially when he's shopping, especially with his wife. There's no anointing at that time. Yeah, I'm saying that rich people associate with rich people. Yeah, positive success as I will associate with Yogi when I saw so many times I have been here. But even the last trip I was in Paris, as I was looking out of the window, My, my, my hotel room is just glass and high up over there. I was looking here was all these Air France, Air France, Air France, time to learn and shout the gold airport. I was just looking at all of that. I was just what how how I came to be here. The mask. When I asked, I said I saw you on a video with young Kicho. He said you were either interpreting or doing something about you. And I said that the man is associated with him, there must be something, and I want to invite him. That's all. Associated with a successful person. Made another successful person feel that he would also like to be associated with me. That's all. Robert, were you there when he said that? Yeah. You asked him. Yeah. And I also asked him, so try, try not to just be associated with pastors in teaching, man, you see, try not to just be associated with three speaking pastors. Try not to just be associated with your colleagues. There must always be a higher fire above you that you must somehow relate with. Yes, I'm talking about the ministry. Yeah. You see this gentleman stand up? You said when a man spoke, you couldn't understand. You and you and another you. Who else could not understand it? You see, by the time will come, you will understand. When an American speaks, you say, oh, yeah, what is America? No, I mean a Google. And I'm doing well. By my subjective qualitative assessments, a Google is better than Manhattan. Discover to recover. Come carefully and you can go and you can come. If you come carefully, you can come. If you come re presumptuously you cannot come. The man will delete you before you come. Who is that? When Herman came it was not easy for him. Later he was begging. Even he should have begged another way. I fell on the wife and was begging the wife and when the man came say, Ah, why over here too, no respect at all. The man used that to arrest him. But I tell you he wanted to. He didn't know what to buy. He, the guy brought himself. So try not to bring yourself to be deleted because someone will ask how do you interact with successful people? How do you interact? That's what I'm telling you all. You don't understood it. I think they didn't get the connection here. I can. I can feel it. You're not getting it. They're not getting it. Watch this. You're not getting it. Watch this. You missed it. Are you getting it? I'm saying that you can go anywhere but go. You can go carefully with humility. The man who invited me and recommended me, he had compassion on me when I went, when I talked to him, he said, oh, you don't know what happened to me. When I also came to Korea, I said, what happened? You said, oh, I came to Korea with my camera and I saw Yong Gicho and I told I found a way of talking to the secretary. I have the Direct Line to Yong Gicho. So I said I found a way to talk to the secretary and saw that I wanted to interview him from for television or something for Switzerland and and she managed to get me an interview. So he said I came to the office and then we just sat there for her to film him. So we're filming him and the camera was not, they were working on the camera. He said as they were doing whatever. Then we told just got a walk out. They are delaying too much. They were delaying with the camera and also it doesn't have time. It just got up and went out. That was his first interaction, which led to another and another and until he was now on the board. So he was this place that we've come because if you go to Korea, you see what Yogi chose. It's not a small thing. Oh, yeah, it's not a small a man who can fill the Olympic Stadium, the biggest stadium in the whole country that is used for Olympic Games on Monday morning with shepherds at the age of 72. Shepherds Monday morning where everybody is going to work. Yeah. And it's raining and it's full. And he assigns, he assigned Benny Hin and others places to preach this year. He has assigned him to go and preach at an all night. Yeah, he's giving him an all night preach at all night. That's Miss Lee Thomas. This was last time he was preaching at Olympic Stadium and I was preaching at a seminar. As I said, by the grace of God, certain names are mentioned. Young Guicho, Ben Hinder. My name will also be somewhere in there. Association. Keep associating and last year he was specially that this year I'm specially at the Olympic state and he has been he has been positioned at all night, go to all night. I've been shuffled. Rich people associate with rich and successful people. So start from somewhere and just keep associating. I see you there. That's why you must associate with ambassadors. Our pastor in India, you went to the embassy, isn't it, to see the did you see the ambassador that an old ambassador? And what did they they gave you what they gave me a. Car and took me around the city just to show me and took me to the airport an embassy. They gave him a car. Go around Delhi. Is it New Delhi or Delhi? New Delhi. This is our missionary in India. They took took you took me around the city. There's a new place that they are building. I think there's going to be the Commonwealth Games. So they then showed me around and later drove me off at the airport. Wow. Ambassador, what were you wearing when you went there? I was well dressed. You were well dressed with. Your suit kuffling and. Tie, kuffling and tie. And your stomach had also given. You a. Personality. I hear some people were discussing after the session that the way to enhance themselves is through the belly. You must have at least a small one next one. Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value. Poor people think negatively about promotion and selling. Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion. Remember I was telling you about Miracle Wave convention, How to promote myself, lay red carpet for myself. Do adverts promote things? Yeah, Your own value. Yeah. Poor people don't like such things. Number what #9 Rich people are bigger than their problems, and poor people are smaller than their problems #10 Rich people are excellent receivers. Poor people are poor receivers. Sure, when they are blessing you, you must receive it. Take it. What? When they are giving you, you say, oh, no problem, God will take care. You must know how to receive. You must not receive gifts, money, and you must know how to receive the Word of God. Teachings, instructions. Poor people are poor receivers. Rich people are good receivers. Whatever it is they are receiving, they receive it well. Are you listening to me? Oh, it's time 3 minutes more. Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people wants to be paid based on time. You see, poor people always say, oh, I've been here for 18 years, I've been here for 10 years, I've been work for 11 years. But rich people want to be paid. I've done this, I'm doing when I do this, I will get this, but not how long I've been there, how long I came to work. When I came, I started at six. I've been here till 9, I'm preaching here, I'm not considering when I started 1 of this, how many times as you preach a day and so on. What people are concerned about time, how long I've been doing this? When I started I came before you in my BA chair, me Baha chair. I mean that is the mentality of a poor person. But rich people. It's like Charlie, what can you do? And if it is done, yes, you deserve to be paid. So person, TEFL is the principal of a Bible school. He's producing graduates. So he is a result. It's not about how long he has been here. Yeah, And we can all see that since he took over the ABMTC, it has a different face. So it's not about how long. So, pastor, what do you call it has been here longer? So set him aside. You see, that's what creates poverty. You see then people who work in a certain way are not encouraged to continue working in that way. So try to get some result in your sphere of action, not be thinking of how long you were there. When you see somebody being appointed or something being under, you start to say, oh, Charlie, I was here before that guy who one day a certain church, there was a Bishop and that Bishop came to a meeting and some of the pastors were asking questions and they asked that Bishop in this church is is it the this thing that even when you have been here long and somebody else can that person can be put over you? And the Bishop was asked that question to answer that question that how can it? I mean, is it that whatever is it right fares it just this is it whatever somebody comes and the person came after you, but now that person will be made above you. That was the question, that then you know what the Bishop said. The Bishop said I cannot comment on that. That Bishop was now taken up by a senior Bishop who called him and asked him that. What do you mean that you cannot answer that question that when we came and somebody was here before, whether the person has been made above you, how can it be? He said you don't know, you cannot answer. Then he asked him that you, that I made you a Bishop some years ago. This man was here, this man was here, this man and he mentioned all their names and you were chosen. You were made a Bishop over all of them. Why didn't you answer the question and say that in this church there are people who can come? It is possible because you are an example of that thing. Why didn't you say you cannot comment on that? He's like, you don't want to say anything. I mean, it's a, it's a way of answering. It's like I cannot say anything. Whatever. Meanwhile, you are a best example of that same thing. You are the answer. You are the living answer to that question. But you see something when it has happened years ago, you've forgotten that every land that somebody possesses was possessed by somebody before. God always gives us people's houses, people's lands, people's countries. Israel was never giving something that they do. It was about it was a new land, it was somebody's house, somebody's land, somebody's wife, somebody's husband, somebody's money, somebody's car. You'll be driving it like this. Not doing that is originally for somebody. Every position was for somebody before Messi. So be careful. Don't be thinking of time, be thinking of what you can achieve results. Rich people think both poor people think either or there move or no move. Stand to your feet. We are taking a break. This message continues on the. Next track, keep listening.
