 Welkom viewers. I want to share the word of God with you from the book of Proverbs 22 verse 29. The Bible says you see a man diligent and skillful in his business. You will stand before kings, you will not stand before obscure men. We were talking about greatness and I want to continue from where I left. You know, for you to talk to greatness, you must be skillful enough. You must package yourself. You must sharpen your skills if it's in your business. What skills are you supposed to apply for your business to prosper? If you are a minister of God, what are you supposed to do? As a minister of God is expected of you to be a dig of the word of God. You must dig deep to the word of God. You must be a prayerful person. If it's in business, what are you supposed to do? You must package your goods in a different way. You must package your goods different from how your neighbors are packaging them. So, for you to be great in your area of specialization, it's expected of you to be skillful enough. When you go to the book of 2 Timothy 2.15, let me just pick it. 2 Timothy 2.15. 2 Timothy 2.15, the Bible says study and be diligent to present yourself approved to God. A worker who does not need to be ashamed, be diligent, be skillful, be a man of character, be a man of God. To present yourself approved to God and not only to God alone. You have to present yourself approved even before men. How do you walk? How do you talk? How do you acquaint your words? You must present yourself approved to God and also to men. A worker who does not need to be ashamed. Don't be this kind of minister who stands before people and start telling them stories. You must have something substance to impact lives because when men come to you, they are expecting to receive from you. So you must be a good worker who does not need to be ashamed. Rightly dividing the word of the truth. And for you to be lifted to this level where you can be able to divide the word of the truth well, you must be a Bible reader. If you are a minister of God, you must be a Bible reader. This is the book of Psalms 119-1 that the unfolding of the word of God brings light. Remember you are the light of the word. People are expecting to see light through you. People are expecting to see light through you. In the same books 119 says the word of God is the path, is the lamp of your path, is the lamp of your path and the light of your feet. That is Psalms 119-105. So for you to be that great man in your area of specialization, you must present yourself well and be diligent. So to continue the same, I want to take you back to the book of Romans 111. I want to dig deep there. Romans 111. Romans 111. The Bible says, for I long to see you that I may impart to you spiritual gift. I long to see you that I may impart to you spiritual gift. So that you may be established to be a great man you need a mentor. That's why Elisha head Elijah. John came before Christ. Actually John acted as a mentor of Jesus Christ. Timoth Head Paul. And that's what the Bible is saying. That Paul is trying to write to the church of Rome. That he wants to see them. That he may impart to them a spiritual gift. Paul had a heart of elevating this man. He wanted this man to be great. He wanted this man to be lifted to each level so that they may operate at a past level. And the Bible continues to say so that they may be established. Your establishment will come when you walk with a mentor. Your establishment will come when you walk with a mentor. Don't be those kind of people who say they can do everything. They don't want to be guided. They don't want to be instructed. That is pride. That is pride. So you must subject yourself to a mentor. Who will rebuke you? Who will correct you? Who will show you the way? If you want to walk in greatness. If you want to walk in greatness. And we saw the case of the sons of the prophets. These guys used to tell Elisha that his master is going to be taken away. And they knew he was a great man. They knew the kind of man Elisha was but they failed to tap from his anointing. They failed to tap from his greatness. And Elisha just came from nowhere and took everything. And they were amazed when Elisha went to part the River Jordan. They said, oh, and the spirit of Elisha is working in this man. And they were left without nothing. So it's upon you when you are walking under a mentor to be a respectful person. So that you may tap from them. So that you may draw from their well. Don't dig your own wells. The flat form has been set. The flat form has been set. The price has been paid. You don't need to pay it. You don't need to pay it. You must walk under their grace. Don't dig your own wells. And in the Bible we see many characters. They are great. David, we see some well. We see Solomoni was also great. We see Paul in the New Testament. We have apostles, the servants of the disciples of Jesus. They were also great men. And they worked actually the disciples of Jesus. They worked under the mentorship of Jesus Christ. And through that mentorship they learned how to pray. One day he asked them, father, how can teachers how to pray? And he gave them a guideline on how to pray. He gave them a prayer. Jesus released it. That grace of prayer. That grace of prayer. And we see when Jesus left the apostles continued with the good work Jesus had started. And even they did a few. They did greater things and much. So you have to be a mentor. You have to learn from them. You have to work under them. And you must obey every instruction which they give you. Pray the name of the living God. So the second thing which I want to emphasize is prayer. The book of Luke 18 says every man ought to pray. If you are a man is expected of you to pray. Because you cannot be great minus prayer. You cannot be great minus prayer. You must be a man of secret place. You must hide yourself. You must find time for retreat and pray. You must find time to commune with Elohim himself. Because greatness is tapped through prayer. It comes through prayer. It comes only through prayer. Pray the name of the living God. So you must learn how to pray. I think the reason why Jesus used to pray a lot and also to go in a secret place is to shout. People don't like when people are praying a loud voice. But I think this man had enough tenacity to push it until morning. He said you are supposed to pray the minimal hours to pray one hour. If you have been praying below one hour you must check yourself very well. You must ask for grace to pray the more. So be a man of prayer. You be a man of prayer. You can preach and miss it but you cannot pray and miss it. Yes. Also prayer takes you to another level. Speaking of prayer maybe you can just finalize with praying with us so that because of time maybe you can just pray for those that would desire to be great and just pray with them. Yes. So because of time I want us to pray. If you want to walk in this grace of greatness let's believe together and pray. Father we bless you. We thank you for this time which you have granted unto us. We thank you father because of everything which you have done to us this morning. Father we pray for our viewers wherever they are. May you touch them. May you give them grace of greatness my father. May you be with them and may you uphold them. Teach them how to be great. Teach them how to walk in greatness and teach them where to tap that greatness Lord. Father we pray for them. Those who are sick. Father we pray that you may heal them. Those who are passing through many issues. Father may you come in for them in the mighty name of Jesus. Father we bless you and we honor you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Thank you so much Pastor Bob. Yer over to his social and interact with him. Pastor Bob Robert across all social media.
