  1. 0:07Praise the Lord.
  2. 0:09The message in this fourth service
  3. 0:12is the power of compassion.
  4. 0:16The power of compassion.
  5. 0:22This part four.
  6. 0:26God is compassionate.
  7. 0:32In Psalm 103:8,
  8. 0:36the Lord is merciful and gracious,
  9. 0:41slow to anger, plenteous in mercy.
  10. 0:48God does not treat us accord to our past
  11. 0:51mistakes and failures.
  12. 0:53It does not treat us based on our
  13. 0:55disappointments and whatever we have
  14. 0:56experienced.
  15. 0:58If God has been compassionate towards
  16. 1:00us, we must also learn to show
  17. 1:01compassion to others.
  18. 1:04In Ephesians 4:32,
  19. 1:08it be kind one to another,
  20. 1:11tenderhearted,
  21. 1:13forgiving one another, even as God for
  22. 1:15Christ's sake had forgiven you. You say
  23. 1:18I hear
  24. 1:21>> compassion is one of the most powerful
  25. 1:24expressions
  26. 1:26of God's nature.
  27. 1:30Compassion is more than just feeling
  28. 1:32sorry for somebody.
  29. 1:36There are three elements of compassion.
  30. 1:40See, care and act.
  31. 1:46C care and worth.
  32. 1:50A se take notice of someone hurting or
  33. 1:54in need.
  34. 2:00Be caring. Show concern about what they
  35. 2:03are going through.
  36. 2:09Don't leave them the way they are.
  37. 2:11That's what you mean by caring.
  38. 2:15When someone say carry, people think
  39. 2:16it's only money that is carried. No.
  40. 2:19In Acts 3:6,
  41. 2:22Peter said gold and silver have I none,
  42. 2:24but such as I have give ID. So caring is
  43. 2:28goes beyond just money. Is that clear?
  44. 2:31Even if you don't have money, you can
  45. 2:32care. Peter said, I don't have money,
  46. 2:34but I have something to give to you. You
  47. 2:37can exercise your faith for somebody by
  48. 2:39praying for the person. You can fast on
  49. 2:42behalf of somebody. You can go all out.
  50. 2:45Are you saying now to say this our
  51. 2:47brother will not die with this sickness?
  52. 2:48We pray for him. Caring is not only
  53. 2:51giving out. Money is involved but it's
  54. 2:54not only money. Are you getting what I'm
  55. 2:55talking about here? Glory to God. See
  56. 2:58acting. See what? Do something to help.
  57. 3:03Jesus is a compassionate savior.
  58. 3:07He was moved with compassion. He was
  59. 3:09moved with what? Compassion. In John s
  60. 3:11Matthew chapter 9:36 and when he saw the
  61. 3:14multitude he was moved with compassion
  62. 3:17on them because they fainted and were
  63. 3:19scared abroad as sheep having no
  64. 3:21shepherd. Shout hallelujah.
  65. 3:24>> Matthew 14:14 and Jesus went forth and
  66. 3:28saw a great multitude and was moved with
  67. 3:30what? Everywhere and healed the sick.
  68. 3:33Today the sers will heal you in the name
  69. 3:34of Jesus.
  70. 3:35>> Amen. in Matthew 15:32 and just called
  71. 3:38disciples unto them and said I have
  72. 3:40compassion on the multitude because they
  73. 3:42continue with me now 3 days and have
  74. 3:45nothing to eat and I will not send them
  75. 3:48I I will not send them away fasting at
  76. 3:50least they faint in the way he said they
  77. 3:52have been here for how many days he said
  78. 3:54I don't need to go Peter said and John
  79. 3:57and James said they should go said no my
  80. 3:59my nature will not permit me to allow
  81. 4:01them go every child of God must have
  82. 4:05this nature of compassion. Is that
  83. 4:06clearly sir? Peter even said I let them
  84. 4:09go. It doesn't matter. I shar a story
  85. 4:11life story that happened with one of my
  86. 4:13associates one day. I didn't know that
  87. 4:16pastors were around. They were after
  88. 4:18service Sunday like this. They stay till
  89. 4:195:00 p.m. and we are driving out. I saw
  90. 4:22them standing. I said me pastor s
  91. 4:24around.
  92. 4:26I said have they eating? He says don't
  93. 4:28worry.
  94. 4:30I looked at him. I said but you have
  95. 4:32eaten.
  96. 4:34He said don't worry don't worry that's
  97. 4:36after service they say state to fight we
  98. 4:37are not fasting he says don't worry
  99. 4:39don't worry don't worry many Christians
  100. 4:40are like that don't worry don't worry
  101. 4:43it's not compassion we go worry
  102. 4:46person has not eaten he said don't worry
  103. 4:50Jesus had what compassion
  104. 4:55in Luke 7:11 he said when the lord saw
  105. 4:59her talking about the widow of na who
  106. 5:02was going to bury her son he had
  107. 5:04compassion on her and said to her, "Weep
  108. 5:07not." May somebody's weeping come to an
  109. 5:09end.
  110. 5:11>> Jesus did not only preach to people, he
  111. 5:14cared about people.
  112. 5:16He did not only see crowds, he saw
  113. 5:19individuals.
  114. 5:21He did not only heal the sick, he cared
  115. 5:23for the suffering people.
  116. 5:28It not only see failure, he saw people
  117. 5:30who could not who could be restored.
  118. 5:33Everyone Jesus saw compassion moved him
  119. 5:35to change their stories and he said be
  120. 5:37imitators of who? Of God. Ephesians 1
  121. 5:41verse Ephesians 5:1
  122. 5:44the amplified.
  123. 5:46What is compassion?
  124. 5:51What is what?
  125. 5:53Compassion
  126. 5:55is the ability to feel another person's
  127. 5:59pain and respond with love and practical
  128. 6:03help. Compassion is the ability to feel
  129. 6:08another person's pain and respond with
  130. 6:11love and practical help. Compassion is
  131. 6:15different from pity.
  132. 6:19Pity watches. Compassion cares.
  133. 6:24Are you hearing what I'm saying?
  134. 6:27You can feel pity for somebody and do
  135. 6:29nothing.
  136. 6:31Pity talks about the problem. Compassion
  137. 6:33looks for solution.
  138. 6:38Christianity without compassion will end
  139. 6:40up as a mere religion.
  140. 6:45Many miracles of Jesus ministry we are
  141. 6:47connected to what? Compassion. One day
  142. 6:50he met a leper in Mark 1:4041.
  143. 6:54The man asked him, he said he put forth
  144. 6:56his hand and did what? And heal him. May
  145. 7:00somebody leprosy end.
  146. 7:03>> Sometimes the miracle somebody need
  147. 7:05begins with compassion you show to them.
  148. 7:12Compassion sees what others ignore.
  149. 7:18For instance, in Luke 10:30-37,
  150. 7:26the good, how many of you know the story
  151. 7:27of the good Samaritan?
  152. 7:29You know the story?
  153. 7:32The Samaritan was passing.
  154. 7:35A Levite and a priest was also passing.
  155. 7:38Jesus gave the parable that a man was
  156. 7:40beaten by arm robbers, by robbers and
  157. 7:43dropped on the street with wounds. I
  158. 7:46used in second service and the priest
  159. 7:49passed by. When the priest saw him, he
  160. 7:51crossed over to that side of the road.
  161. 7:54When the lever saw him, he crossed over
  162. 7:56to that side of the road. But it was a
  163. 7:58Samaritan who went to touch him. Is that
  164. 8:00true? Many of us are very religious in
  165. 8:02church.
  166. 8:04We know the whole Bible. When people
  167. 8:06come, we do as if we do not hear what
  168. 8:08they said.
  169. 8:12We are on the other side pretending not
  170. 8:14to know what people are going through.
  171. 8:16Sir here.
  172. 8:22>> Compassion begins when you begin to see
  173. 8:26what other people ignore.
  174. 8:28Are you get what I've said now? This man
  175. 8:31was able to see that this person should
  176. 8:33be needed attention.
  177. 8:37Real compassion is willing to pay a
  178. 8:40price to make somebody's life better.
  179. 8:44That's what compassion is. You don't
  180. 8:47ever meet somebody and leave the person
  181. 8:48the way you met the person. Is that
  182. 8:50clear? It's not just money. It's not
  183. 8:52just what? Money. The Bible said the the
  184. 8:56Samaritan took the man, treated him,
  185. 8:59took care of him. The priest did not do
  186. 9:01anything.
  187. 9:02Some of us are old believers in quot.
  188. 9:07We are just so self-centered. All we
  189. 9:09think about is ourselves. Just our
  190. 9:13Christianity is more than self here.
  191. 9:17>> Shout hallelujah.
  192. 9:18>> Hallelujah.
  193. 9:21>> May your life touch other people.
  194. 9:23>> Amen.
  195. 9:24the prodigal son also in Luke 15:11-24
  196. 9:30you find that the father had what
  197. 9:32compassion on him
  198. 9:35when the prodical son was trying to
  199. 9:36complain the father said no my
  200. 9:38compassion nature cannot allow you
  201. 9:40complain
  202. 9:42compassion will make you lift those who
  203. 9:43are fallen
  204. 9:45if you have nature of compassion you
  205. 9:47enter the ministry of condemnation I
  206. 9:49repeat if you don't have a heart of what
  207. 9:53You enter the ministry of condemnation.
  208. 9:56Everybody you see, you find fault.
  209. 10:00There are some people in church all they
  210. 10:02do is to find fault in other Christians.
  211. 10:05They never see anything good in
  212. 10:07somebody.
  213. 10:09Are you getting me?
  214. 10:10>> Glory to God. Even when people are
  215. 10:12falling, leave them off first because of
  216. 10:15compassion.
  217. 10:17People may debate your theology.
  218. 10:20People may argue with your doctrine, but
  219. 10:23they cannot see genuine love and ignore
  220. 10:25it.
  221. 10:28What 50 sermons can't do, genuine love
  222. 10:30will do.
  223. 10:32Are you getting what I'm saying?
  224. 10:34>> What 50 messages can't change a person,
  225. 10:36genuine love will change a person. But
  226. 10:39many of us, we can preach all the
  227. 10:41preachings, we can teach all the
  228. 10:43teachings, but compassion
  229. 10:45zero.
  230. 10:47Sir here.
  231. 10:49How many of you will be compassionate?
  232. 10:54Do you know no matter how you preach, if
  233. 10:55you're not compassionate, nobody will
  234. 10:57believe your Christianity?
  235. 11:01John 13:35.
  236. 11:06Let's read together. Everybody stop
  237. 11:08writing. Let's read one to go. By this
  238. 11:12shall all men know.
  239. 11:15If you
  240. 11:17it is a if you if you quote
  241. 11:20if you preach IF YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER it
  242. 11:23will show you're a disciple of Christ.
  243. 11:26The world needs to see Christianity
  244. 11:27through our actions.
  245. 11:31Compassion makes the church a family.
  246. 11:34Make church what?
  247. 11:35>> Family.
  248. 11:37>> What concerns one concerns everybody.
  249. 11:41When Peter was in prison, the whole
  250. 11:44church came together to pray. Today, if
  251. 11:48it was today Peter was have gone to
  252. 11:50social media and say Peter has been
  253. 11:52locked up
  254. 11:56because no more comp. We have turned
  255. 11:59church to a social club.
  256. 12:02Christianity is the hallmark compassion
  257. 12:05the hallmark of all Christianity. No, if
  258. 12:08you don't have compassion, no point
  259. 12:09being a Christian. Look, I'm not
  260. 12:10preaching compassion if it's not there.
  261. 12:13There are people's heart are hardened.
  262. 12:14Hardened heart is what
  263. 12:19Christians don't be like politicians.
  264. 12:21Politician's heart is at the back.
  265. 12:23Expect Nigerian politicians. Their heart
  266. 12:24is where the back
  267. 12:26>> at the back.
  268. 12:28All of you are my children. Don't be
  269. 12:29like Nigeria. No Niger Niger politician
  270. 12:32don't have heart for people.
  271. 12:35Their heart is where
  272. 12:38people are suffering. They say nothing
  273. 12:40is everything is working well.
  274. 12:43That's that's church two hours now carry
  275. 12:46THE SAME SPIRIT. EVEN WHEN YOU SEE
  276. 12:48SOMEBODY HUNGRY, he say God will bless
  277. 12:50him.
  278. 12:52YOU ARE SEEN THE MAN GOING THROUGH
  279. 12:54STRESS. He said don't mind God is going
  280. 12:56to show him favor. God will show favor
  281. 12:59to a man who has not eaten this morning
  282. 13:03and you have food for give to him to
  283. 13:04eat. You are saying God will show him
  284. 13:05favor. Where will he get the favor from
  285. 13:07when he has not eaten? Give him food for
  286. 13:09goodness sake. You see somebody with
  287. 13:12clothes the clothes are not tattered.
  288. 13:14You have got food full you cannot remove
  289. 13:16one and say take. He said don't worry
  290. 13:18God will cover you.
  291. 13:23Are you hearing what I'm saying now?
  292. 13:25>> Yes sir.
  293. 13:27THE EARLY church they cared for one
  294. 13:30another. They were just as a family. So
  295. 13:34here
  296. 13:35>> but today churches everybody come mind
  297. 13:37your business and go.
  298. 13:40They just come church they close go.
  299. 13:44Church don't close. We go. I think
  300. 13:48church don't close. Church
  301. 13:51don't close then go home.
  302. 13:57You want to know what language is that?
  303. 13:59Find from your Acts chapter 244:44.
  304. 14:07Shall we read together? One to go. And
  305. 14:10all that believed were together and had
  306. 14:13all things common and sold their
  307. 14:16possessions and goods and parted them to
  308. 14:19all men as every man did. That is true.
  309. 14:23What? Christianity
  310. 14:27church should not be a place where
  311. 14:29people only come sit and listen to good
  312. 14:31sermons
  313. 14:34at all. IT SHOULD BE A PLACE WHERE seen
  314. 14:37loved supported and restored. Church
  315. 14:39should not just be a place of just come
  316. 14:41sermon copy note and go. No no if that's
  317. 14:43no need. No what church should be a
  318. 14:46place where you come you feel belonged
  319. 14:50people care for you. They show love. You
  320. 14:54know you have a family. Are you hearing
  321. 14:56me, sir?
  322. 14:58>> That's the essence of Christ.
  323. 15:04Practical ways to show compassion.
  324. 15:07And I close.
  325. 15:12Practical ways to show what? One, call
  326. 15:15somebody who has been absent. Anybody
  327. 15:19who have been you have not seen, call
  328. 15:20the person. Today we have technology
  329. 15:25call someone who has been what absent to
  330. 15:29visit someone we seek
  331. 15:32visit someone who is what we seek in
  332. 15:34scripture say when I was hungry you
  333. 15:36visited me now Matthew 25 you remember
  334. 15:41three encourage someone who is
  335. 15:44discouraged
  336. 15:46encourage what
  337. 15:48is discouraged someone is discouraged
  338. 15:50Encourage the person say God is
  339. 15:52faithful. Don't give up on life. God has
  340. 15:54not given up on you. Shout hallelujah.
  341. 15:57>> Hallelujah.
  342. 16:02>> Number four, feed someone who is hungry.
  343. 16:05Feed someone who is what?
  344. 16:07>> Hungry. These are practical things you
  345. 16:10must do, not theoretical.
  346. 16:16Number five, give to someone genuinely
  347. 16:20in need. Give to someone genuinely in
  348. 16:24not someone who just want to take money
  349. 16:26from you, but someone genuinely in need,
  350. 16:28give them. Some of you, God has blessed
  351. 16:30you. Don't wait for people to beg you
  352. 16:31before you give. Is that clear, sir? If
  353. 16:33they have to beg you before you give,
  354. 16:35you're not a Christian.
  355. 16:37You don't wait for people to beg you
  356. 16:39before you you see a need in your
  357. 16:42service group. Just take care of it as
  358. 16:43God has blessed you. You need some
  359. 16:46people in church. You just look at them
  360. 16:47and say this old woman she's going
  361. 16:50through. Just take care of her. This boy
  362. 16:53nobody to train you. I pay your school
  363. 16:54fees. That is Christianity. That's what
  364. 16:57in you at your own level. Don't wait for
  365. 16:59people to be doing for you to do for
  366. 17:00somebody
  367. 17:02s here.
  368. 17:05Number six, forgive someone who hurt
  369. 17:08you. Forgive someone who who hurt you.
  370. 17:11These are practical things. They hurt
  371. 17:12you, forgive. Some of you, you won't
  372. 17:15forgive. I can't come to touch because
  373. 17:17of what they do to you. No, no, no, no.
  374. 17:20That's not Christianity. Christianity
  375. 17:21forgive those who hurt you. How many of
  376. 17:23you have hurt me? Many of you have hurt
  377. 17:24me now. Some of you have abused me even
  378. 17:25at my back. Have you not abused me
  379. 17:27before? Did God kill you? Some of you
  380. 17:31and I lift my hand. I said, "God bless
  381. 17:32you." And he still bless you. Some of
  382. 17:34you have abused me. I know my pap to
  383. 17:35talk.
  384. 17:37Some of you have abused me, abused me
  385. 17:39that even God said say, "Hey,
  386. 17:41my servant that I'm using to bless you,
  387. 17:43we abusing like this." Did I did God
  388. 17:45kill you?
  389. 17:48So why would you not forgive other
  390. 17:49people? Somebody say you your head is
  391. 17:51big before you leave small.
  392. 17:54The reason why God gave me big so I can
  393. 17:56have big sense.
  394. 18:02doesn't me getting angry that my head is
  395. 18:04shining before I would I wear afro

  402. 18:23somebody anything you tell me is your
  403. 18:25business number seven pray with someone
  404. 18:29facing a difficult ch situation pray
  405. 18:31with someone facing a difficult what
  406. 18:34facing a difficult situation or
  407. 18:35challenge whatever someone's going
  408. 18:37through something pray with the person
  409. 18:39in the name of Jesus this situation will
  410. 18:41come will overcome it
  411. 18:46and finally number eight help someone
  412. 18:48who cannot help you back
  413. 18:50I didn't say help somebody or just help
  414. 18:52someone who cannot what always help who
  415. 18:54cannot even tell you thank you who
  416. 18:56cannot even help you they don't they
  417. 18:58it's easy to help somebody who can help
  418. 18:59you back but how you know that you have
  419. 19:01Compassion is when you help somebody who
  420. 19:04cannot help you back. The you know
  421. 19:07people are rich now if somebody has
  422. 19:09money does not come to church it's easy
  423. 19:11for people to look for him. But when
  424. 19:12somebody is broke doesn't have anything.
  425. 19:15How many people look for such persons?
  426. 19:17So help somebody who cannot what
  427. 19:20>> who cannot help you back. They don't
  428. 19:22even have the money to give you back.
  429. 19:25So I hear
  430. 19:26>> that's the hallmark of all Christianity.
  431. 19:29Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah.
  432. 19:32>> The world does not only need more
  433. 19:35preachers. They've had enough. Turn
  434. 19:38television, you see preachers. Even as
  435. 19:40you came this morning, you have sons of
  436. 19:41many preachers. But the world needs more
  437. 19:44compassionate Christians.
  438. 19:47The world has been they've had too many
  439. 19:49what sermons including the ones you have
  440. 19:52been preaching on television. Now they
  441. 19:54need more. Compassionate.
  442. 19:58Be the one who pays attention.
  443. 20:01Call,
  444. 20:03visit,
  445. 20:05give,
  446. 20:07forgive and encourage others. I said be
  447. 20:10the one who does what? Pays attention to
  448. 20:14people,
  449. 20:15call,
  450. 20:17visit,
  451. 20:19give,
  452. 20:21forgive and encourage what? Others. Just
  453. 20:25listen. It's not money. In Acts 3:6,
  454. 20:30PETER SAID, "SILVER AND GOLD HAVE I
  455. 20:33NONE, BUT I [screaming] HAVE SOMETHING
  456. 20:36TO GIVE TO YOU." YOU MAY NOT HAVE MONEY,
  457. 20:38BUT CAN'T you fast for somebody WHO'S IN
  458. 20:40TROUBLE?
  459. 20:42CAN'T YOU PRAY WITH SOMEBODY WHO IS HAVE
  460. 20:43GOING THROUGH CHALLENGE? OH, I don't
  461. 20:46have money. Can't you fast for the
  462. 20:48person? That's Christianity. Simply like
  463. 20:50Peter said, I don't have money, but I
  464. 20:53have faith that you will rise. Is that
  465. 20:54true, sir?
  466. 20:55>> Yes, sir. That's compassion. That's what
  467. 20:58compassion.
  468. 21:01Oh, I wish I have money. No, since you
  469. 21:03don't have money, you have something.
  470. 21:04Don't you have something? Use that one
  471. 21:06you have to touch somebody's life. Sir
  472. 21:09here.
  473. 21:13>> When the church becomes compassionate,
  474. 21:16the world will see Jesus through us.
  475. 21:20Do you understand? Now, it's not all
  476. 21:23these big sermons we are preaching. Why
  477. 21:25am I saying so?
  478. 21:28MANY CHURCH PEOPLE are hard-hearted.
  479. 21:32Their heart is like stone. All this I br
  480. 21:35you.
  481. 21:37They don't care about anybody. They care
  482. 21:39about themselves.
  483. 21:42Everything about life nothing moves
  484. 21:44them. Somebody is dying. It doesn't
  485. 21:46concern them.
  486. 21:49They say if die make him die now.
  487. 21:54And best talk is a church person
  488. 21:57and they telling you to hear I've been
  489. 21:59telling you who does not hear you. They
  490. 22:01hear
  491. 22:04first rescue the person first and they
  492. 22:08cannot correct the person. Is that
  493. 22:09clear?
  494. 22:10>> This I'm talking don't think even
  495. 22:12pastors their heart most of them they
  496. 22:13forb
  497. 22:18stayed with pastors who are so hard for
  498. 22:21politicians is their lifestyle. So no
  499. 22:23need to play for them. Is it polit like
  500. 22:26that be for Nigerian? Oh god. Niger I've
  501. 22:29not you are all see high ship. They
  502. 22:33say hip for Nigeria.
  503. 22:36Don't do like that in church. Oh.
  504. 22:39No they not talking about Nigeria. They
  505. 22:41talk about election. Statesmen talk
  506. 22:43about the next generation. Politicians
  507. 22:46talk about the next election. Everybody
  508. 22:48you meet Nigeria is 20 to the Have you
  509. 22:50seen anybody who say how is Nigeria
  510. 22:52going to be better? N Mandela was
  511. 22:54thinking of how South Africa will be
  512. 22:55better. After he left, politicians took
  513. 22:57over South Africa. See how where South
  514. 22:59Africa is
  515. 23:01when politicians take over country is
  516. 23:02messed up. When statesmen take over,
  517. 23:04country improves.
  518. 23:08>> Any nation ruled by politicians will
  519. 23:10die. Any nation ruled by statesman will
  520. 23:14grow.
  521. 23:15Ness Mandela took South Africa to a high
  522. 23:17level. The next one after him took South
  523. 23:19Africa back once.
  524. 23:22Nigeria is ruled by politicians. The day
  525. 23:24Niger will get a states man. You see the
  526. 23:25difference. For now what we have no
  527. 23:28statesman. The wol are statemen. The
  528. 23:31zigway we are state men. The statemen.
  529. 23:35Today what we have is what? Politicians.
  530. 23:39Politicians think of the next election.
  531. 23:42Statesmen think of the next generation.
  532. 23:44Make your choice in church. Don't be
  533. 23:46like a politician. Don't be like a
  534. 23:48politician.
  535. 23:51[applause]
  536. 23:54THINK OF HOW [screaming] YOU CAN AFFECT
  537. 23:56A fellow Christian. Even the unbelievers
  538. 23:59when you're preaching to them, let there
  539. 24:00be compassion. These people can't go to
  540. 24:03hell. I love them to be out. Rise to
  541. 24:05your feet.
  542. 24:08>> Shout a big hallelujah.
  543. 24:09>> Hallelujah.
  544. 24:11>> Shout aloud hallelujah.
  545. 24:12>> Hallelujah.
  546. 24:14You don't need long prayers. Lord, I put
  547. 24:18to practice what I have heard.
  548. 24:22>> I put to practice what I have heard. Are
  549. 24:26you getting now?
  550. 24:27>> I you know why God anointed me for
  551. 24:28healing? I can't stand a sick person. If
  552. 24:31somebody is sick, something in me just
  553. 24:33can't stand it. I say, God, heal this
  554. 24:37sick person. Heal this person. He can't
  555. 24:40anoint you in an area you don't have
  556. 24:42compassion. You can fast. Somebody is
  557. 24:45sick. You're not moved. God can anoint
  558. 24:47you.
  559. 24:48When I see the poor, I can't stand it. I
  560. 24:52want the person to come out of poverty.
  561. 24:54That's why he anointed me for wealth. Is
  562. 24:56that clear, sir?
  563. 24:57>> God will never anoint you in an area you
  564. 25:00don't have what? Compassion. Jesus was
  565. 25:02moved with compassion.
  566. 25:06What is moving you?
  567. 25:09He said the hope maketh not ashamed.
  568. 25:12Romans 5:5 because the love of God has
  569. 25:15been shed abroad in our heart by the
  570. 25:17Holy Ghost is given to us and say by
  571. 25:19grace is sufficient for you. 1
  572. 25:21Corinthians 12:9 you are going to
  573. 25:24receive grace as if to put to practice
  574. 25:27to give expression to love to what
  575. 25:30>> to love.
  576. 25:33Ah listen I'm not preaching theory. This
  577. 25:37is what I am.
  578. 25:40If you know me, this is my first
  579. 25:41quality. I I pour my heart into people.
  580. 25:45One day I talking to my I said if any of
  581. 25:47you have 50% of my life, this church
  582. 25:48will change.
  583. 25:50Forget whatever they preach. I have seen
  584. 25:53challenges where people will leave you
  585. 25:55in the midst of challenge.
  586. 25:59You will know WHETHER THIS HAS ENTERED
  587. 26:00YOU WHEN SOMEONE AROUND YOU HAS A
  588. 26:01challenge and you stand by the person.
  589. 26:04Am I talking to you?
  590. 26:05>> Yes sir.
  591. 26:05>> It's easy to say I love I never love. IT
  592. 26:08IS THE M WHEN JUNGLE m you go know
  593. 26:11whether we know we will love you. It's
  594. 26:14easy to say I love you. It is THE M OF
  595. 26:17TRIALS. YOU SEE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU.
  596. 26:20>> Just go through a challenge. You see
  597. 26:22people who stay alo like this and watch
  598. 26:25whether you will crash
  599. 26:28but nobody will crash.
  600. 26:30>> So you say Lord I want to give love
  601. 26:32practical what? Expression. It's not you
  602. 26:35can come this altar and quote all the
  603. 26:36scriptures don't mean you know love
  604. 26:40you can quote you can recite it's not
  605. 26:43that I'm talking about practical
  606. 26:46demonstration of love
  607. 26:49are you understand now it will convert
  608. 26:51people easily than me message you can
  609. 26:53preach good message why is that I don't
  610. 26:56preach any message I make other people
  611. 26:57come out
  612. 26:59just watch crusade even if I just say
  613. 27:01for God so loved the world that he gave
  614. 27:02the only because his people will come
  615. 27:04out
  616. 27:05It's not the messages. So that's I just
  617. 27:06say God love you. Give your life to
  618. 27:08Jesus. Come out. They just crush out.
  619. 27:10You know why? Compassion.
  620. 27:12You can come and quote section one,
  621. 27:14section two, section three, section
  622. 27:16four, section five, section six and make
  623. 27:18call, five people will come out.
  624. 27:21Everything works by what? The crowd in
  625. 27:24this church Jesus brings is by what?
  626. 27:26Compression. It's not because I preach
  627. 27:28very powerful messages. My messages are
  628. 27:30very simple, very what?
  629. 27:32>> Very simple. But what I have on my heart
  630. 27:33is not in many people. It's compassion.
  631. 27:35It's what?
  632. 27:36>> Compassion. What I do for my pastors, if
  633. 27:38they were in my shoes, they won't do.
  634. 27:41If they are to be in my position, they
  635. 27:42will not do for others.
  636. 27:45It's because of compassion. Not because
  637. 27:49me I do for them. If any of them was to
  638. 27:50sit in my position, they won't do it for
  639. 27:52others.
  640. 27:54Say compassion.
  641. 27:54>> Compassion.
  642. 27:55>> That's why a Christian should not be
  643. 27:57like all believers. Have compassion. You
  644. 27:59see your brothers, talk to them loves
  645. 28:01you. Don't say don't mind him go die
  646. 28:03with this cigarette. You go kill him and
  647. 28:05just go chest go bust your own brother.
  648. 28:09Tell him Jesus loves you.
  649. 28:12It's not condemning you. Your brother go
  650. 28:15like this. You start crying. He say
  651. 28:17brother. So with all the cigarette you
  652. 28:18still love me. He say yes I love you. I
  653. 28:20don't want you to die with this kind of
  654. 28:22lifestyle. But just go say go die. Hell
  655. 28:25hell. Hell they look at you like this.
  656. 28:27Hell that's your own brother. Hell they
  657. 28:29look you hell they go. He's going to
  658. 28:32hell already. Now
  659. 28:34a great man of God of blessing called
  660. 28:36Yong Cho said after the war in South
  661. 28:38Korea, you know the Korean war, he said
  662. 28:40he was preaching one woman he went to
  663. 28:43preach. I said that was why he's
  664. 28:44preaching change. He told him go to
  665. 28:46hell. He said is there any other hell
  666. 28:48more than this one?
  667. 28:50He said that was the day preaching
  668. 28:51change. The woman said hell she's
  669. 28:53already in hell if this is because no
  670. 28:55food to eat nothing. What do you mean
  671. 28:57hell? This is hell. So no point. You can
  672. 28:59imagine preaching hell to Nigeria. They
  673. 29:01already hell.
  674. 29:03>> There's no way you preach hell to
  675. 29:04Nigerian, anybody will be born again.
  676. 29:06They already where
  677. 29:10just tell them God loves you. He can
  678. 29:12change your story. Then the man say
  679. 29:15come to Jesus. But if you say you go to
  680. 29:17hell, the Bible say they suffer when
  681. 29:19they suffer.
  682. 29:21Already the suffering is what? That kind
  683. 29:24of message can't convert one soul. You
  684. 29:26go there say you if you don't convert to
  685. 29:28Jesus you are going to go to hell you
  686. 29:30will suffer the man say they waste your
  687. 29:32time you never see food eat you never
  688. 29:35buy patrol in the in the hell already so
  689. 29:38you can't convert anybody with that kind
  690. 29:39of preaching compassion will make you
  691. 29:42tell them Jesus loves you in spite of
  692. 29:43what you're going through he will show
  693. 29:45you his mercy the man said
  694. 29:48okay compassion will trigger it is the
  695. 29:52greatest tool that that brings people to
  696. 29:54Christ compassion What is it?
  697. 29:57>> From your heart. From where?
  698. 29:59>> Not from your lips. Not from here. Not
  699. 30:00from lips. Not quoting scripture. Coming
  700. 30:02from
  701. 30:03>> your heart.
  702. 30:05You are going to pray, "Lord, I receive
  703. 30:07grace to put into practice
  704. 30:12what I have heard today. Let it become
  705. 30:15my lifestyle. Every hard-heartedness,
  706. 30:18stinginess, and selfishness, I c it in
  707. 30:20the name of Jesus." Go ahead and pray.
  708. 30:22In the name of Jesus,
  709. 30:32grace to be compassionate. I receive
  710. 30:34right now.
  711. 30:38I receive grace to put to practice what
  712. 30:39I've heard.
  713. 31:00Blessed.
  714. 31:22Are you praying in the name of Jesus?
  715. 31:29>> Thank you, Father.
  716. 31:31>> In that precious name, may your heart be
  717. 31:33circumcised
  718. 31:36>> in the May every form of stony heart be
  719. 31:39removed.
  720. 31:41The Lord give you a heart that will p
  721. 31:42after him
  722. 31:44>> and walk in his steps
  723. 31:46>> in the name of Jesus Christ.
  724. 31:50>> You will you will just swim in sweatless
  725. 31:52miracles with a heart of compassion.
  726. 31:55With a heart of what?
  727. 31:57>> Jesus didn't struggle anyway when crowd
  728. 31:59followed him. The greatest crowd puller
  729. 32:01is what? Compassion. It's compassion.
  730. 32:04Compassion is compound passion. Passion
  731. 32:07that makes you have love for people. You
  732. 32:10just see people you love them. Are you
  733. 32:12now?
  734. 32:13>> Yes. One or two may treat you wrong.
  735. 32:14Does not mean that you change your
  736. 32:15attitude.
  737. 32:18One day I got very angry with somebody
  738. 32:21did. And a word from a very genous staff
  739. 32:23changed me. He said sir don't change
  740. 32:25your nature because of the one person.
  741. 32:28He said we we all know you that your
  742. 32:29nature you're not a hard person. You're
  743. 32:32a very free-handed man. He said don't
  744. 32:33change because of this one person who
  745. 32:34did this to you. It just turned me.
  746. 32:40Why will you not? Why can you be eating
  747. 32:42only you you're eating five lumps of
  748. 32:44meat?
  749. 32:46Somebody has not eaten food.
  750. 32:55Somebody has not eaten. Someone has
  751. 32:59not Christian. That's not Christian. You
  752. 33:01have 50 shoes. Carry one in in your bag
  753. 33:05and you come to church, you look at
  754. 33:06someone who doesn't have shoes. He don't
  755. 33:08doesn't need to tell you thank you. You
  756. 33:09don't even know him. You said take
  757. 33:11before the man you have gone.
  758. 33:15You get suits you bring them. You look
  759. 33:16at it said Lord show me those. If you

  762. 33:23have 50 shoes. Are you
  763. 33:29all know when they gave me 500 suits I
  764. 33:31didn't take one. Not one. Did I 500
  765. 33:35suits? Not one. I gave all out.
  766. 33:39I've given 94 LV shoes in one day.
  767. 33:43LV Louis with or whatever you call it.
  768. 33:46Not abameo.
  769. 33:50[laughter]
  770. 33:51The real LV. I used to wear 44 but now I
  771. 33:55wear 45. So I said bring all of them
  772. 33:57out. Well 44 was spinning my legs. I
  773. 33:59said bring all clean because I don't go
  774. 34:02anywhere. I don't match my shoes
  775. 34:03anywhere. It's church. Where do I go to
  776. 34:05church? Back home. So the shoes s are
  777. 34:07still fresh.
  778. 34:08I says, "Give all out." All said, "Give
  779. 34:11them out." What am I going to do with
  780. 34:14409 shoes? I said, "Give all out."
  781. 34:18Suits. I I carry my shoes that are very
  782. 34:21expensive. There's a young man of
  783. 34:23blessed memory used to buy me shoes
  784. 34:24$6,000 per one. He will buy 20 of those
  785. 34:28shoes once plenty. One day I just look
  786. 34:31at my size. I said, "This shoes, bring
  787. 34:33them, give them out.
  788. 34:38Now you say I give anybody this kind for
  789. 34:41what I'm no human being.
  790. 34:45>> Is God WHO LIFTED YOU TO BE where you
  791. 34:47are?
  792. 34:49>> He can lift anybody.
  793. 34:51>> Don't get arrogant and cocky.
  794. 34:55Are you hear me now? SO WHEN GOD GIVES
  795. 34:58YOU A CHANCE OTHER people's lives that's
  796. 35:01what makes us Christians. That's what
  797. 35:02makes us Christians. Christianity is not
  798. 35:05Jesus is coming soon. Amen. Amen. Amen.
  799. 35:10Are they telling you? Amen.
