Let me tell you something. Before the richest man became rich, he started with no money.

Mhm.

You see, people chase money and you're supposed to chase value.

Mhm.

I'll say that one more time. Money is attracted to value.

Mhm.

Money is not attracted to hard work.

That's good.

That's why the hardest laborers earn the least.

Yeah. Yeah.

Go to the farms, go to the this, go to the that. Immigrants who work so hard make the least amount of money.

Yeah.

And the people who make the most money oversee those who are working.

Yeah.

Because money is not attracted to hard work. Money is attracted to value.

Mhm.

If you have value, money will follow you. It will follow you.

Mhm.

You won't follow it. It will follow you.

Mhm.

I always just use this building as as a testimony, right? Because it is.

For sure.

We could have never bought this building if there was no value.

Mhm.

How the heck do you raise $4 million in in in within a month

During the pandemic.

during the pandemic within a month within 1 month

Right.

with only about 300 people viewing you. And that is combining YouTube and Facebook.

That's good. It was very low.

How? How?

Yeah.

How?

That's good.

How? And $4 million was just half of what we needed.

Yeah.

If we showed you our bills for the month, you'd be like, "What the heck?"

Mhm. But No, it's in the hundreds of thousands, close to a million, actually, to run the church every month. Now, I'm not just saying it. I'm not saying half a million. Very close to a million.

Eight eight something every month. Eight something every month. How is it happening? After all the lies in this London, we still we are just fine, crazy. How? Because because there is value. When there is value it attracts resources. The issue is people are not solving people's problems. People are not elevating and lifting up people's people out of messes.

Why should God use them to tithe to your church? Give offering to your church when all you do is you speak a word, but you don't help them.

I give out of my own personal money. No less than 1.5 million a year in donat- This is not The church does crazy. They probably spend more than that. I spend that from my own pocket.

Because value attracts resources. I always tell men of God if there is no resources, it's because you're not doing something right. You're not doing God's will. Because if you're doing God's will, there will be value and if there will and if there is value there will be resources. The absence of resources is the absence of value.

The reason why money means nothing right now is because most currencies are not backed up by gold. The only reason why America's dollar has value is because of the petrodollar. Because America's money is used to trade with oil. So, it maintains the value of the dollar. But if the dollar is dethroned and the petrol dollar is no longer a factor, the dollar is and that's what he's trying That's what the BRICS is trying to do. That's what all these collusions are trying to do. If they stop trading with the dollar and the dollar collapses, America goes down. Why? Because the only thing maintains They no longer back their money with gold.

So, that's an issue. Because gold represents value. So, now you have to ask yourself, what's your value?

Cuz if you don't have value, there's a reason why you're broke. It's not fasting and praying, "Father, send money. I am rich. I am prosperous." There's a place for that. But just praying I am rich and I am prosperous and you have no service to offer, you will die poor.

And you find your value by I'm asking the people. I'm sorry. I'm sorry because I don't have a

You How do you find your value? Let me give you an example.

I'll give I'll give a little scenario. Right? You're in the church.

Let's say Peyton notices, "Why are they singing off-key?" Nobody else is bothered. Everybody's shouting, "Ooh, the music is great." But Peyton's like, "Nah, these people are not in sync. These people are singing horribly. Why is the sound sounding bad?" But nobody else can notice it. She's only noticing it. You see, your gift highlights problems.

Your gift highlights problems because you have the solution. Because you see through your gift. The reason why people don't see spiritually is because they think spiritual sight is just seeing what others can see. No. Seeing in the spirit is seeing through your gift. Whatever your talent is is the beginning of your sight.

Whatever your talent is is the beginning of your sight.

Jesus could construct people's lives, not only because he was God, but because he was a carpenter.
