Summary
In one line: "My earnest desire is for you to be ten million times better than me" — when believers prosper, the kingdom expands: his vision of a "Revelation City."
Key points
- If the congregation were billionaires and trillionaires, "we'd never need to say it's time to give — we'd be busy expanding."
- He has never taken a salary in 10+ years (his bishop rebuked him for it); he and his wife are among the church's biggest givers.
- The vision: ~300 acres in Simi Valley — affordable, secure housing, jobs, malls and businesses owned by the community, a hospital with real doctors plus prayer at half the price (funded by donors), and Spirit-filled schools where children pray in tongues each morning and can prophesy. "A small vision doesn't want people blessed — it wants it to be about you."
- A bigger church is coming, but "I don't want an extra-big church — I want an extra-big place to help people spiritually, physically and emotionally."

My earnest desire is for you to be 10 million times better than me. Do you know why? That means I am entering into rest. Listen to me. Let's do it like this. Uncle Fred a billionaire, Liana a billionaire, everybody on this front row a billionaire, second row trillionaires, then millionaires. How much will we do for the kingdom of God?
We won't have we won't need to say it's time to give to the Lord. Why? Because the house of God will be so taken care of. We'll be busy expanding and doing things. Amen. We won't stress like guys, it's time to give now. We have this we need to take care of. There's an event coming. Listen, I thank God listen to me. I thank God that Revelation Nation are generous people. Our church never struggles because the people God has given, who is you, you support the work of God with everything that is in you.
Clap for yourself.
From the day I began ministry,
I have never made it about money and it will never be about money. Listen to me. This is a fact. I have never taken a salary from church and I've been running this thing for over 10 years. Since we were established as a church, I have never taken a I should. My bishop rebuked me and said, "How could you do that?" I said, "Ah, I'll figure it out." But I've never Not saying that if you take it's wrong and not saying taking is wrong.
I have never been motivated to do that because for me it's not about that. It's never been about that. Listen, Willie is generous. He gives big time. All of you are generous, but I'll tell you this, your generation your generosity may still be less than mine. Listen, I give. I really give. Not only to the work of God, not only in my life, but even substance.
Many, many, many, many times. Me and my wife are probably the biggest partners of the church if not. But you imagine if you would do more because you have more.
Because when you prosper the kingdom of God prospers.
The kingdom of God prospers. Imagine this will happen. Mark my words, it will happen. But imagine as the kingdom we are in Simi, we buy a big piece of land here in Simi. Let's say let's say 300 acres.
And we build Revelation City. Where we house people, we take care of people, we have our hospitals.
[applause and cheering]
Amen.
But you see when you have a small vision, you don't want people to be blessed. Because you want it to be about you.
We make an affordable city, very secure. Everything See how the kingdom of God will expand because families who cannot afford it, people who cannot do this, we have jobs in that community. And people we help people go Do you know how much more we can do for the Lord?
But you see when people have a small vision, they're just thinking about oh we just have church and we gather. Even the people in the church will be small people. Do a whole development, we build our own malls, we build our own this. We own businesses within that.
When it comes to pass, may you be among them.
[cheering]
applause
But that's how you're supposed to think. So it is to my advantage for Will to be a trillionaire. It is to my advantage Uncle Fred to be a quadruple whatever mayor you can infinity. Why? Because I know the kingdom of God will fulfill what it needs to fulfill. One person can stand and say what do we need? We can do this then the other one will say no, I'm not going to let him do it. What can I do? I will produce this.
Before you know it we build a marvel that the world will desire to be amongst us.
Clap your hands to the Lord Jesus.
I said clap your hands to the Lord Jesus. Imagine a
a full hospital just like what they have but an advanced hospital where people pray for you but we also have legit great doctors and our hospital is half the price of whatever these people would do. Why? Because it has donors. It So whether you have insurance or not it doesn't matter.
Maybe I'm dreaming too big for you.
Somebody shout I am a dreamer. I am a dreamer because I have the provision. Because I have the provision. I am already blessed. I am already blessed. Let me tell you something. Will we have a bigger church here? Actually we were supposed to do that this year. But we'll do it next year. Are we going to have a bigger church?
Absolutely because already the people that come here it's hard to handle them with what we have. Will we have a bigger one? Yes. But let me tell you something. Do I love church? Yes because it's the house of God. But I don't want an extra big church. I want an extra big place where we can help people.
Not just spiritually, physically, emotionally.
That's what I'm burning for.
We have our own schools. Not just not just religious school. No, like our own school. Do you know how much Yes, we have Catholic school. We have this school. Imagine if we had a Leroshka Akaba school where they learn everything but the children are Every morning, let's pray in the Holy Ghost. Alabash. Then they go to school. You come to a school where a young child can walk to you and say, "You have a You You need to repent. You've been doing this and this and this. The Lord is calling
[cheering and applause]
Is that possible? Yes. Has it been done before? No. Can we be the first ones that will do it? Yes. A little child in the school can tell you, "Oh, the next president in the next 10 years will be this." Because they're not only in school, but in the school, it is Holy Ghost filled where they are trained in their walk and in their faith.
Not just on the surface, but in depth.
