IF YOU GO AFTER SILVER AND GOLD AT THE DETRIMENT OF A GOOD NAME, YOU WILL LOSE BOTH NAME AND SILVER AND GOLD.

 IF YOU GO AFTER SILVER AND GOLD AT THE DETRIMENT OF A GOOD NAME, YOU WILL LOSE BOTH NAME AND SILVER AND GOLD.

IF YOU GO AFTER A GOOD NAME, SILVER AND GOLD WILL ALWAYS LOOK FOR YOU!

IF YOU ARE A MAN AND WOMAN OF STANDARD, THEY CANNOT USE YOU AS SANDAL.

IF YOU LACK INTEGRITY, YOUR SUFFERING HAS JUST STARTED, EVERYBODY THAT WANTS TO HELP YOU WILL BE AFRAID!

4.  Do things for the long term benefit and not for the immediate return.

I got invited last year for a programme and it clashed with Glory Reign and I said, 'I'm not going to attend it'. The Pastor was angry because it was their anniversary programme, the whole Church was in a mess, everyone was stranded and as I landed Warri, I went straight to see him. I said, 'Sir, I am sorry, I can't disobey Ibiyeomie and obey you, the programmes clashed! Anytime you want me to return to Warri, I will go, do with me as you wish!' He said, 'My people are angry thinking that I deceived them but today is our Midweek Service'. I said, 'I will enter the Church to see them so they can see me', and I did. And then, I was able to restore that relationship for the long term benefits. So this year's anniversary he called me and said, 'I know that you are going for Glory Reign, I have shifted the anniversary to the first week of February'. Church Gist. I agreed to this because I value relationships, I don't think about today alone but tomorrow.

What that person gave me after the programme, only the furniture in the house can explain. He said, 'Bishop, you made my people happy and made them also know that God can use somebody'! He said, 'Anything that I give you is just nothing! Church Gist. I'm expecting something bigger and I will send it. If I didn't consider 2023 in 2022 by saying, 'To hell with him'!- The chair for parlour na em money! Some of the mattresses na em money.

5.  Always tell yourself that a good name is better than silver and gold.

If they place silver and gold side by side, choose silver and gold because they will always follow a good name. If you go after silver and gold at the detriment of a name, you will lose both name and silver and gold but if you go after a good name, silver and gold will always look for you!

6.  Have a standard.

If you are a man and woman of standard, they cannot use you as sandal. For those who are selling cream, maintain a standard and don't mix black and yellow and reduce them on another day! I told one man one day in Warri, do you wish to last in this dry cleaning business? He said, 'Yes'! Do you rent our clothes out? He said, 'No'! And I asked him again after three times, and I said how can someone bring clothes for you on 1st October and by 31st October, he has not collected the clothes after 31 days? Church Gist. Are you normal? When you are surrounded by people who give out people's clothes after three days? 

When I finished with him, he called a board meeting and I said to him that I will show him the receipts that I have paid to other people within the 31 days of withholding my clothes. We calculated the money that I spent at another dry cleaning place and it amounted to N60,000 plus. I said, 'What is that person doing that you are not doing? Church Gist. Because this amount of money should be for your company. And I advised him to give out the clothes in his shop to the customers so that new ones can come. Have a standard because if you don't have a standard you can't stand out!

Six (6) benefits of integrity:

1.  Somebody gave me the money (in millions) he was owing another person last week to help him to pay that person- I stood as a guarantor! When this money entered, 'I said that I need this money for everything, I'm packing this period'! (Laughing). Church Gist. And the Spirit of integrity spoke to me and said, 'You cannot spend what is not your own, if you spend it now, you will pray the prayer of breakthrough later and I will not answer you! Push it first to the bank that owes it and then send the proof to the person who sent you'! I just did it and had my peace.

Most of you in this Church, that is when you will shine! Then after thirty days, you will now start doing, 'Mother side and father side, you will not check your side oo- Your side is always the problem'! Who your father and mother hold money? Church Gist. But do you know that after I gave that money, Heaven opened. When you follow integrity, the blessings of God flows. If I had spent that one, God would have left me with that one! 

2.  It gives you a clear conscience with God and man.

Clear conscience fears no evil Acts 24:6. After nine years of running Answers Assembly, nobody has come to tell the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to bring your Pastor down from the altar because he is going to the Police Station for owing some money- Peace with God and man. 

I bought tiles for about 4.2 million to 5 million naira aside from labour. My Chief Security Officer is aware of this, we had issues with the time seller from the beginning but I had to absorb and forget about it. I said, 'It was just a miscalculation but give me some period of time to clear off the money'. Church Gist. Today, I can send even the devil to go and collect goods from his hand. For the building of the security house I only sent Pastors and he called to confirm that I sent them and I said, 'Give them'! And he did. This business that you are doing, there is a future if you have integrity!

Don't go for 'Esusu' (Contributions) and pick to be the first person to collect the money and you take the first round of the money and run away. You are the number one problem of the people! You know there was an 'Esusu congregation' at Daniels Club where Answer Assembly started, one of my daughters dey take number one round of collecting the money- She will come one day for Answers Assembly and another Sunday, from Living Faith to Catholic Church and so on. Na em dem come meet me after Service and said, 'Sir, your daughter collect money run away, I said, 'That one na slaughter! Church Gist. My daughter cannot take 'Esusu' and run away! I have taken the number two rounds of 'Esusu' for two years (one million naira per month) for three years now and this year for number one, I'm the only outsider in that group. That money is the safest money anywhere, no interest! You no go put anything for ground! No collateral except your integrity!

If you lack integrity, your suffering has just started, everybody that wants to help you will be afraid!
