[Music]
00:08
we're going to talk about how to succeed
00:10
in times of crisis in tough times the
00:14
kingdom keys to personal success and
00:18
prosperity I'm going to give you four of
00:20
these keys tonight that I live by
00:23
everyone wants to succeed nobody wants
00:26
to fail in life and I also emphasized
00:29
that success is predictable
00:31
you can predict failure and success and
00:35
there's a reason why everything in life
00:37
was designed and created to function by
00:41
laws and therefore laws make life
00:43
predictable laws make life simple the
00:47
success of a product protects the
00:49
reputation of the manufacturer success
00:52
is not what you've done compared to what
00:54
others have done successes which you've
00:56
done compared to which you knew you
00:58
could have done or you should have done
1
01:00
so success has more to do with
01:03
fulfilling your assignment and your
01:05
purpose than it has to do with beating
01:07
someone else in a race so success in
01:10
life is discovering two things your
01:12
purpose and your assignment success
01:15
therefore is fulfillment and completion
01:19
of your purpose purpose is the reason
01:23
why a thing was created a trumpet is
01:27
successful when it blows a note so a
01:30
trumpet on display in your home is not
01:33
successful it's beautiful it's a nice
01:36
place to put it but it's a failure why
01:38
because the purpose for trumpet is to
01:41
blow a note not for display so purpose
01:44
determines success and this is why most
01:47
people are failing in life they have not
01:50
captured yet what they were born to do
01:53
what's important the life is are you
01:55
doing what you were born to do now in
2
01:57
Matthew chapter 13 Jesus talked about
02:00
when you live in a kingdom your success
02:02
is related to some keys and he calls
02:04
them secrets and he said the knowledge
02:07
of the secrets of the kingdom of God has
02:09
been
02:10
to you those secrets are called keys
02:12
Matthew 16 verse 19 he says I will give
02:16
you the keys plural of the kingdom
02:20
there's no key to the kingdom there are
02:23
keys of the kingdom why is this so
02:26
important he said because these Keys
02:27
open up heaven or closed heaven they
02:30
open up life or closed life in other
02:33
words keys are determining whether you
02:36
live a lock of life or an open life
02:39
whether you succeed or fail now what are
02:42
keys keys are laws principles of
02:45
precepts they are systems that you use
02:48
that's what Christ meant when he used
3
02:50
the word keys keys are systems or laws
02:54
by which everything functions here's
02:57
some things but principles and laws that
02:58
you need to remember number one
03:00
principles and laws are universal that
03:03
is important because that means you
03:05
don't need to change your country to be
03:07
successful a lot of people think if I
03:09
can just make it to a certain country
03:11
I'll make it in life I have gone to
03:13
countries that people have left their
03:15
homes and today they are sweeping the
03:18
streets in that country and they have a
03:19
lower job in that country they had in
03:21
the formal country believe me it's not a
03:23
matter of where you are located the
03:25
issue is do you know the laws of success
03:28
secondly principles and laws are
03:30
permanent that means they are the same
03:33
for Moses as they are for you today
4
03:36
number three principles and laws work
03:39
everywhere and anywhere laws work for
03:43
people if the people work the Lord's and
03:47
before principles and laws are not
03:50
partial
03:50
that means laws don't work for certain
03:53
race of people and then don't work with
03:55
some other race of people laws work for
03:58
all people I'm a five principles and
04:01
laws guarantee success and this is why
04:04
again success is predictable you can
04:07
guarantee results if you follow the laws
04:09
if you are failing in your life try and
04:13
study what laws you are violating if you
04:16
are succeeding
04:17
like study the laws you are obeying
04:19
there's no mystery to life and most of
04:22
us are hoping to succeed in life and
04:25
don't understand the laws that are
04:27
established by God to succeed principle
5
04:30
number six principles and laws never can
04:34
be broken you cannot broke a law the law
04:37
breaks you it's like running a red light
04:39
hoping you won't get an accident so if
04:41
you want to be successful don't try to
04:43
take shortcuts don't try to find your
04:46
way of doing things
04:48
there are laws established in life by
04:51
the Creator that everyone ought to
04:52
follow and anyone who follows those laws
04:55
of the same results point number seven
04:57
principles and laws are inherent and
05:01
their judgment is inherent that means
05:04
that you don't need to be punished if
05:06
you violate a law the punishment is in
05:09
the law if you put your hand in fire no
05:12
one has to burn you you violate a law
05:14
you can burn and so it is with
05:16
everything in life God doesn't really
05:18
judge us the laws he built into life
6
05:22
judges us you have sex you get pregnant
05:25
who do you blame
05:26
that leaves the point number eight
05:28
principles and laws protect the product
05:30
when you obey the laws laid down by the
05:33
manufacturer you don't need to worry
05:35
about protection they protect you so
05:38
guilt counts when you break a law
05:39
because you no longer protected by that
05:41
law
05:42
why don't you free this verse again
05:43
let's read Deuteronomy 8 verse 17 you
05:46
may say to yourself God says my power
05:49
and the strength of my hand has produced
05:52
as well for me but you must remember the
05:54
Lord your God it is he
05:56
who gave you the ability to produce
06:00
wealth to confirm his covenant that he
06:03
made to your father's God is not against
06:06
you becoming wealthy but he wants you to
7
06:09
remember where it came from
06:10
secondly this verse tells us how to
06:13
become wealthy and wealth in this verse
06:16
doesn't come from God in the sense that
06:18
God gives you money really carefully
06:20
what does God give you the ability to
06:22
produce wealth comes from finding your
06:26
ability to produce something the first
06:29
command that God gave man was to work
06:31
work shows up in the Bible before a
06:33
woman that's because a man needs work
06:35
before a woman work is a law that means
06:38
anything that stops you from working
06:40
violates the law so if you want to get
06:43
something without effort you're
06:45
violating a law that's why God doesn't
06:48
like beggars a beg if somebody wants
06:51
something without effort let me quote
06:53
the King David says I have never seen
06:56
the righteous forsaken nor his seed
8
06:58
begging for bread notice the condition
07:02
righteous but his righteous staying in
07:05
line with the laws he said you stay in
07:07
line with the laws you will never be a
07:08
bag away a beggar is not a worker and
07:11
the first law of God gave man was to
07:13
work matter of fact if read it Genesis
07:15
2:15 and the Lord God took the man and
07:17
put him in the Garden of Eden and he
07:20
commanded the man to work to work and to
07:23
care for him the word work is the word
07:25
ever gone in Greek and Hebrew and the
07:27
word actually means to become the word
07:30
work also means to work out something to
07:33
become what you are so when God told
07:35
Adam work he was telling Adam become
07:38
what's trapped on the inside so work is
07:40
not something that the government
07:42
provides you're looking for jobs that's
07:45
why you broke you're waiting for some
9
07:47
investor to come and give you a job
07:49
ladies and gentlemen remember that work
07:52
has to do with finding who you supposed
07:54
to become I am successful because I
07:58
coming summer work is like a seed
08:00
becoming a tree most people go to a
08:02
place where they can't become why
08:04
because you are restricted by what the
08:06
job tells you to do and what you cannot
08:08
do and this is why most people hate
08:10
their jobs because their jobs actually
08:12
suffocate their real gift and so they
08:15
find themselves hating Monday mornings
08:17
going to a place they don't like and
08:19
they can't wait to leave it because it's
08:22
like a bird trapped in a cage for eight
08:25
hours why because you are not really
08:27
working you have a job your job
08:30
therefore will never be your work
08:33
because it traps you your work can
10
08:35
become your job if you find your work in
08:38
your job in other words if you have a
08:40
job where you are becoming then you are
08:43
not on a job you're going to work me 6
08:45
I'm very interesting Jesus said all the
08:47
time I work the work of him that sent me
08:51
and I came to work the work that the
08:53
father gave me to do he never says job
08:56
Jesus at a job you know this job was a
08:58
carpenter his work was redeemer he
09:01
hadn't come to be a carpenter I came
09:03
really to redeem the world
09:04
that's my work and my work is to do what
09:07
the will of my father as an important
09:10
statement but as will the original
09:12
intent of the manufacture who sent me so
09:15
work is becoming what you were born to
09:18
be and work therefore can become your
09:21
job if you are doing in your job which
09:24
you were born to do your goal in life is
11
09:26
not to be employed the number one
09:29
promise of your governments is jobs so
09:32
your goal is to get a job the young man
09:35
here tonight comes with a high school
09:37
first thing he's told go get a job they
09:41
never say go get a business the guy who
09:43
just comes with college is lady with a
09:46
PhD or master's degree comes back home
09:49
first attempt
09:51
it's as if we believe you were born to
09:55
be employed but I want to change your
09:57
thinking tonight right in a new way down
09:58
you were born to be deployed employment
10:02
means somebody else controls you
10:05
deployment means you release what's on
10:08
the inside of you
10:09
those who deploy themselves employ
10:12
others deployers
10:15
employ if you're tired of being employed
10:17
focus on being a deployer that's where
12
10:20
your wealth is those who deploy
10:23
themselves determine their own value
10:25
those who are employed their value
10:28
determine by the one who employed them
10:30
so a salary is really someone else's
10:33
opinion of how much you are worth when
10:35
you deploy yourself you establish your
10:37
own worth so a job is employment work is
10:41
deployment employment prepares you for
10:45
deployment jobs can kill you because you
10:48
can actually be trapped in a place for
10:50
40 years suffocating your life and
10:54
living in bitterness and hatred and
10:56
anger and you are always irritated
10:59
because you are in a place you don't
11:01
want to be and don't like to be and
11:03
therefore you hate everybody every day
11:04
for what he is and the Bible says what
11:06
bitterness cries of the bones that means
11:08
it creates cancer never people say this
13
11:11
job is killing me they are correct so
11:13
I'll come to you in this session to tell
11:15
you how to be free from your job so you
11:19
can find your work because your
11:20
prosperity is not in your job your
11:23
prosperity is in your work when you go
11:26
to a job always remember this is
11:29
temporary I am going to use this
11:31
opportunity to deploy myself in other
11:34
words deployment activates your gifts
11:36
and energizes your life not employment
11:40
people who are employed are always
11:42
complaining you know this whole stupid
11:44
job I'm tired of being here these folks
11:46
who trust me they don't know what I'm
11:48
worth they don't understand me
11:51
see they know I supposed to be a grace
11:52
that I can get no race I'm getting
11:54
promoted I mean it's been yeah it's just
11:56
employed I'm complaining while they are
14
11:59
employed and the come train is coming
12:01
from the fact that their gift is not
12:03
being activated therefore there's no
12:05
excitement and no energy in their lives
12:07
when you go to a place where you can
12:10
release all the desires and the gifts on
12:13
the inside you can't wait to get there
12:15
that's why people who live long are
12:18
usually those who have found something
12:20
that they can't wait to do in the
12:22
morning because it's good for your
12:23
health your immune system finds strength
12:26
from a good attitude protects you from
12:28
getting sick
12:29
that means if what you are doing are
12:31
wearing you out then that's a sign that
12:34
you are not in your work a person who is
12:37
in their gift hates sunsets why they
12:41
want the day to be longer because they
12:43
can't wait to stay in what they're doing
15
12:45
but if you can wait for five o'clock you
12:47
want your clock from three o'clock till
12:49
5:00 that means you are not in your work
12:51
yet you are on a job you are employed
12:54
and not deployed deployment is the use
12:57
and the serving of your natural gift to
12:59
the world they asked Michael Jackson why
13:01
do you love singing so much he said
13:03
because singing is me it is me because
13:05
truly remember work is what you want
13:07
it's becoming what you are he's thinking
13:10
if not a job to a real singer so when
13:12
you find your gift when you find your
13:15
deployment you actually find the gift
13:18
you serve to the world and the world
13:20
will pay you for being yourself most
13:22
people are depressed when they get fired
13:24
because they did not think beyond their
13:28
jobs therefore you cannot put your hope
13:31
in a job the company you work for the
16
13:34
minute you hit 65 they already stopped
13:37
singing the hymns rescue the perishing
13:39
care for the dying
13:41
why are you 65 they already see the
13:43
young guy coming to college who want to
13:45
actually work for less the older you are
13:48
the more expensive
13:49
to the company so wake up and think
13:51
beyond your job that means that the
13:54
solution to your future success is not
13:56
in the job you have it's in what you're
13:59
thinking beyond the job you got laid off
14:01
or they only got you in two days work
14:03
you realize your future is being
14:04
attacked by the fact that they laid you
14:06
off it's got to cut back on your
14:08
standard of living maybe even lose the
14:10
car lose the house why because your
14:12
future you put in your job the future
14:14
isn't the one who holds the job don't
17
14:17
ever allow an organization to be your
14:20
hope every job is to worry no matter how
14:23
much they praise you and love you you
14:26
better think beyond that position
14:27
because they will tell you bye-bye
14:31
I wish me to polka Daniel sometime
14:32
Daniel made himself so valuable the King
14:35
said he was an excellent worker and no
14:39
one want to get rid of Daniel there are
14:41
some people who can't wait till you
14:42
leave why you're not an asset you are
14:44
definitely the company there are
14:46
supervisors praying for you to resign
14:48
when there's a downsizing taking place
14:51
in like an economy like this
14:52
the first place they let go is the one
14:54
who caused all the problem they are
14:55
happy for the crisis right finally can
14:58
get rid of you legally and give a reason
15:00
for it because you made yourself a
18
15:01
nuisance but you make yourself
15:04
indispensable by serving your gift with
15:06
quality and becoming more and more
15:08
valuable by solving problems for people
15:10
they won't let you go
15:11
the key to becoming prosperous is
15:13
solving problem
15:14
you are kept for the problems you solved
15:17
you are let go for the problems you
15:19
create people ask me all the time how
15:21
you do it my answer is I'm a solution
15:23
not a problem and I mean that and I find
15:25
problems that you can solve and then
15:26
solve them don't look for a job look for
15:28
a problem people looking for money don't
15:30
look for money look for a problem you
15:32
solve problems you get paid so that's
15:33
didn't between your job and your work
15:35
never confuse your job with your work
15:37
why your job is what they train you to
19
15:39
do your work is what you were born to do
15:41
your job is your career your work is
15:44
your life assignment your job is your
15:47
skill your work is your gift they could
15:49
fire you because they don't need your
15:51
skill but they can never fire your gift
15:53
it goes with you our problem is our
15:56
culture's have not trained us to find a
15:59
gift they trained us to find a job so
16:02
they tell you go get a skill remember
16:04
those words problem is your skill is
16:07
dispensable
16:07
if I been using your skill for 20 years
16:10
and now you are making $20,000 a year
16:12
and a young guy kept at a college with a
16:15
more refined skill in your area he only
16:18
wants 25 you got in otherwise skills are
16:20
dispensable but gifts can never be taken
16:23
away you can retire from your job but
16:26
you can't retire from your work I've
20
16:27
never seen a fish who says I die it's
16:29
women I retire I don't swim no more I've
16:31
never seen a bird that says I I retired
16:33
from fly I've never seen a seed that
16:35
says I retired from bringing for a tree
16:37
in other ways you never retire from your
16:39
gift you can be tired from your skill
16:41
your skill for secretary but they don't
16:44
want secretaries so your skill has
16:46
become your
16:47
the people don't want your skill think
16:50
beyond your job your future is in your
16:53
seed gift it's not in your job it's in
16:56
the gift that you have

21
