How do you know it's time to leave something behind?

How do you know? I want to help somebody real quick.

How do you know? If you can hear me, just type I hear you, sir. I hear you, sir. I hear you, sir. Sir, you like my American accent, sir?

Wow. You are a hater. You know, you're like you're like a terrible person.

Wait, what?

You're actually like a terrible person and I and I forgive you.

Because I know I know you're a sinner. So, I'm not even like

crazy.

Um, no, it's nothing crazy. You are

what?

No, you're not.

I thought it was really good.

Now, not everything that God gave us um Not everything God gave us is meant to remain with us.

Most of the time I've come to discover most people are addicted to their situations. And I discovered that people are more addicted to negative things than they are to positive things. That's true.

It's easier to entertain thoughts of defeat. It's easier to entertain thoughts of disappointment than it is to entertain positive things.

I don't know if you can hear me.

There are things that your spirit, your inner man has been given the ability to discern God's hour for the next thing for you.

But most of the time, people pick feelings to tell them the hour

and not God's time. I see this all the time with churches today. Oh, God told me to come to this church next week. God told me to go to another church. Another one will be my time in that church is done. God told me to go to another church. Then they go to that church. God told me it's time to go to another church. It's like God does not believe

in you replanting yourself that much. Any tree that is replanted like that will die.

That's really good.

Now I'm not saying that God cannot tell you to move from one place to another but the frequency of which people are moving from one place to another you know God is not involved at all.

You can tell immediately that God has nothing to do with it at all.

Andrew, you're supposed to be in school.

So, hear me by the spirit.

Hear me by the spirit.

The first sign that you have overstayed

is when you outgrow something.

The first sign to know that you are somewhere where you should not be anymore is when you have outgrown it.

When you outgrow something, [snorts] it's a sign that you need to move on from whatever you're doing. How do you know you have outgrown something?

Not because you're over something.

Okay, you're helping.

You're helping.

Outgrowing something is not being over something.

You're helping.

I'll say that one more time. Outgrowing something has nothing to do with you being over something.

Hey Bria, I can be over something that God wants me to be in,

but I will never outgrow something that God will allow me to stay in.

What is the difference?

When you outgrow something, it means that thing can no longer move you farther in your destiny and what God has for you. That means you have outgrown it. An example is you used to work a certain job and you're getting a certain pay. Hey, mama. Hey. and you're getting a certain uh pay that pay was so good

because it sustained your life. It sustained what you are doing. It sustained you. But now God wants you to do something else and that pay can no longer and that job because jobs are not just about pay. It's about opportunity. M

for you to grow.

But within that job, you see that there is no more higher ceiling that you can go above. Even if they over offer you more money,

if God has given you the grace to become somebody,

Mhm.

not looking for safety,

but becoming somebody. It's time to walk away from that thing.

Now, you never walk away before you find something else. Because you have to transition from one thing to another. When you are not using wisdom, you will drop it and say, "I will trust God." No, God didn't ask you to do it that way.

Mhm.

You have to move systematically.

Mhm.

You outgrow something. Somebody outgrow relationships. Uh, I'll tell you where in the relationship because it's not typically like that with relationships, but I will get to that.

So, understand this uh by the spirit of God, that thing can no longer take you to where you know God is taking you.

If you are supposed to manage 20 retail stores, but you're working on a retail store in a in a retail store and they offer you more money, may let's say maybe they are giving you 90,000 a year, but you are called to manage 20 retail store, people be like, "Man, the pay is good. Just stay."

Mhm. But if your drive and your calling is to manage 20 retail stores because you can no longer go higher than where you are, it's time to move on. If you have a calling is that making sense for somebody?

Yeah, that makes tot

because you see I am driven by ambition. I'm driven by destiny. I'm not motivated by money.

I'm motivated by accomplishments. That's how you know what you're doing came from God.

Money will always follow.

Money will always follow where God's purpose is.

Sometimes we put ourselves in places God did not call us.

like I want to be a president, but you have no leadership skills. You know you're disqualified already. God has another position for you, not the position you're looking for.

So understand this by the spirit of God.

Outgrowing something means the ceiling that you about you you are supposed to break through or or go beyond cannot be done in the location that you are in or in the We need to put WD40 on that door cuz it's annoying me. Open it, please. Cuz he has a squeaky sound that is is uh is uh is satanic.

So Chaz, I'm about to request for us to do something and I know you are going to be like seriously close.

No, no, no. Leave it open. Leave it open. Thank you. Bling. I have the spirit of bling upon me. So understand this by the spirit of God. Big Moose, I see you. Outgrowing something is not for everybody. There are people who have to be led and there are people who are supposed to pioneer and lead others. So you have to be clear about this.

Now can you outgrow a relationship?

Yes and no. I will explain why have tattoos. Why not?

If somebody is supposed to marry you, okay,

but they are not moving forward with what is supposed to be done

you can outgrow them

because it's clear that their ambition is not your ambition. You're trying to build a family and they're not trying to build a family. And this goes both ways. Mhm.

You can outgrow that situation because there's no plan for the future.

But if you say for better, for worse, you cannot outgrow somebody. Even though within the relationship, you will outgrow someone.

So in a relationship, you have to make sure you grow together, not apart, because that will cause a big void. And actually most of relationships end because of that because people don't grow together. They grow apart. Life is always in motion.

So if one is in motion and the other one isn't, you will outgrow the other person. [snorts]

In fact, most pastors have failed ministries, both male and female, because their partners were the wrong partner.

Did that make sense?

Yes. their partners were wrong. So nothing could scale up because they on two different pages. One has a different ambition, the other one has another ambition. So that becomes tricky.

So number one to outgrow something, not to be over something because sometimes people are over things because they lack discipline.

The absence of discipline will make you think you outgrew something, but actually you just don't want to do it.

I don't know if I'm helping somebody right now.

So, you have to make sure you outgrow it, not that you are over it. Those two are not the same.

You can be tired about some You can be tired with what you're working on. You can be exhausted with what you're working on. But that doesn't mean you have what? Outgrown it. It doesn't mean that you see like I work a whole lot. There are other people who cannot keep up with the frequency of how hard we all go.

Actually, our team has is a go go go kind of people. There are people who can't keep up with that. There are people who don't have the discipline to get up and do the same thing every day.

They burn out. Burning out doesn't mean you have outgrown something. M that's

burning out means you need to up your stamina.

Burnout means you're not managing yourself well when you're working.

Means you have no time to recharge. You have no time for self. And people's time for self is different.

People's time is different. Like people's recovery time is different. Um when I went back to Mo, [clears throat] as you can see, your boy's getting lean again. You know what I'm saying? Getting ready for Rev Knights.

But um I started out at 200 lb. Can you believe I was walking around 200? It didn't look like it, but

I have been 200 lb. He did not look like that.

Chaz, tell him I was 200 lb. Cuz I I have more muscle than you though.

What' you say?

Huh?

It was what?

200 lb.

God forgive you, Ch. And I and I carried then my body composition kind of changed. So I don't carry it much over here anymore

like I used to. It was all up here. So I was like this. My face was rounder too. Super round. But it was 200 babindas.

I couldn't believe it. I felt like Jesus, what have I done to myself?

And and and uh and what was I what was I going to say? I was 200 lb. And uh I just was like, "No, this is not me." So my some of my favorite outfits I I couldn't wear no more. Yeah. Which is crazy. So um I decided to go back working out hard because I had taken some time off.

So training with my coach four times a week and then doing some extracurricular stuff myself. Uh in a month I've lost 20 pounds already. Yeah. I I trimmed quite fast. I'm already at I'm already at 180. I think this week I'm probably already 179. But here's the thing. When I started, coach knew that I couldn't do like 5 minute rounds like I've been doing. So, he was literally breaking my rounds to one minute rounds.

I felt so out of shape. Isn't that [clears throat] crazy, Chaz? So out of shape. I'm like, that is the worst shape I've ever been in. Then now we are back to regular time because now my body has readjusted and and all that good stuff. So in the same way you have to balance.

You have to balance and build. My goal is 165. That's where I feel the best.

17 165. I feel like, you know, I feel the best when I'm there. So, I'm going back to that place. But the moral of the story is this.

My recovery time has has gone back to what it was, when I would just train. And my recovery time will be even better when I'm in fight shape. When I'm in fight shape, I recover fast, like extremely fast. So now where I'll be like like I'll still be fine. My my my cardio will be on point.

Chaz, what's your what's your problem? What you're being a spirit of distraction, you see.

So not all promotion is good promotion because some promotion will keep you bound.

That's good. That's good.

So you have to know where God is sending you, where God is carrying you to. so that you don't get caught up in being in a place that God doesn't want you to be in.

That's really good. That's really

when I had no church building and uh we were renting a space, a few pastors approached me, oh, we could do this together and you know, you could be earning this much. I said, no. Another man of God told me, you know, you you already have a following. Just change your name to my church's name and I'll be paying you $50,000 a month for salary.

I said no. But at that time, that's not money. Like that was too big of uh bindas for me.

It was too much money for me at that time. Like I couldn't even imagine having 50,000 or 10,000. Those were just like amounts that were astronomical to me because I never thought of it. So, be careful. You got to stick to the script as King Musa just said, you got to know where God is taking you and you got to stick to what God has revealed to you.

Or else you will stifle your growth into what God has called you to be.

That's really good.

So I want you to remember that.

So burn out doesn't mean move on

because if you have not learned how to manage yourself, you will burn out again

and burn out again and burn out again. That doesn't mean to move forward.

You have to build your tolerance.

You got to build your tolerance because and I said this in church yesterday like there is a difference between being successful and being great.

Loias is great.

I passed the success level.

Greatness

is what I'm in.

And after greatness, my goal is to be a legend. If Jesus hasn't come, I want you to read about me the way you read about Elijah, the way you read about all these other people.

Amen.

Legendary status. That's like, you know, it's it's different from just being great. But here's the point.

You cannot become any of this.

Unless you're willing to pay the price.

The price tag is different. It's not the same price tag.

Bye, Eevee.

The price tag is different.

Apostle Tim Love you said, "You are legend in my eyes. I receive."

So you have to understand this. The price tag is different. Fame does not equate greatness. Even though fame can give you temporary success. Like if somebody goes viral, they could make a lot of money if they are smart.

But after their virality, what are they going to do after that? It's over.

So like before it was, oh my god, million views. I've had 30 million views, 50 million views on Tik Tok. I've had 2 million, 5 million, 10 million. Even here on IG.

Crazy numbers. But here's the thing.

If you look at my following, I have 1.2 million people. I've never bought followers or anything like that.

1.2 million people. On Facebook, I have 3.8 million people.

Okay. But my actual audience is bigger than the 1.2. If I can reach 10 million people with one post,

it goes viral

of 50 million views. But you only have 1.2 million people following you. That means not everybody who sees you is going to buy into what you're doing.

That's why chasing virality is actually it's a crazy strategy because that's not how it works. What you want is to flood the internet that everywhere somebody turns they see you.

That's more lucrative. That's more that makes more sense than just going viral.

You need impact.

You could go viral without having an impact.

when uh like today when I was training with coach I started by um uh 5 minute jump rope and we used the tie jump ropes which are very very heavy and once I saw that I knew okay he's trying to burn out my shoulders after that he gave me a band uh shadow box two rounds [sighs] 3 minute rounds and you have to do full extension ions. So, your shoulders are already feeling it. Then after I finished my second round, he was like, "All right, uh 50 punches up straight, shoulders are cooked." After that, he throws me to the bag to do some bag work. Then after that, he holds meats for me for uh for three or four rounds or was it five rounds? I can't even remember. My shoulders are burnt out.

Like right now, my shoulders feel weak.

After 2 three days, my endurance on my shoulders would have improved.

Mhm.

Because it burnt out.

You're burning out because your capacity is being increased.

Wow.

You're not burning out because it's bad.

You got to be mentally strong.

Uh Maggie Elias, DM me. We can talk about it.

So understand this. Understand this so that you can you can get uh why God is trying to communicate with you. Number two, that was just number one. Then I'm going to finish with number two. Uh number two, how do you know you have outgrown something? Number two, what you're doing no longer moves you.

I'm going to say it again. What you're doing no longer moves you.

What do I mean by that?

When you love something, you do things to improve it,

to make it better,

to expand it, because what you're doing represents you.

There's an excitement to even have it change 1% because you're so invested.

When you come to my studio, I have equipment upon equipment upon equipment. You can do everything digitally, but why do we have all these consoles and things like that? Because the the the sonics of an analog equipment is different from a digital equipment. But you, the listener, will not be able to really tell. You'll either like the song or hate it. But the one creating the masterpiece knows how to make it feel more than just what was put in when the record was being done.

There are songs you hear, you listen to, and it feels like it's hugging you. It feels warm and but if it's a good song, you don't care. It's just a good song. But those sonics matter to the creatives, not to the consumer. Very few people in the consumer industry can tell how good something sounds like.

Am I making sense to somebody?

When you no longer have the fire, when your fire is no longer burning to improve what you're working on, it doesn't mean you have outgrown it.

is either you have given up on what you're doing.

If that spark is not there, if the spark is there, then you are really called to do that thing even if the circumstances around it are not favorable.

I want you to think about that for a second. Let me use myself as a subject.

Loizer Pedo is a grapist. He's a wizard. He's a warlock. He's a satanist. He works with familiar spirits. He's an abuser. He misuses church money. Oh, he's going down. He's being destroyed. The circumstances around me, one of those would destroy a pastor completely

and they will never rise again.

But me, it was said by people who are close that have been close to me.

What did that do? It gave it credibility. But I'm the only one who knows if it's credible or not. Mhm.

Now, some people are like, "He should step down. He shouldn't be preaching. He shouldn't be doing this. He shouldn't be doing that. Why are you guys still buying his books? He should quit. He should do this." Do you know why I never stopped?

Because it's my calling.

I got better. I didn't get worse. Mhm.

If it was my hobby, trust me, I am so blessed. I could have just moved to another country, moved to another city. I mean, I have homes in other places. I could have just gone somewhere else and said, "Duces,

yo, guys, you guys are not even worth it anyway. I do all this and this is what you do." I could have just gone and moved on.

My family is well taken care of.

Mhm. I'll be fine.

The difference is I need to preach.

Others want to preach.

I need to preach. Because there's an expression of God within me that I cannot quench that I [clears throat] have to keep going until either the Lord comes or he calls me home.

I have to keep going and I have to continue to improve.

When I look at myself ministering prophetically, I'm like, man, I I God revealed it like this. Why did I express it that way? I need to express it differently so that I can make more I can be effective in my communication so I improve. Then I watch again like Charles, we watch all services. After service, I give myself a little time and I go and watch the whole service again. Why? Why is this like this? Why is this like that? Why is that like this? You hear sometimes me complaining in church because I am obsessed with excellence. Because I need to preach, not because I I get money from it. I'm the biggest volunteer in Revelation Church.

Mhm.

I'm volunteer number one. I'm the pastor, the founder that doesn't get paid.

Mhm.

Volunteer number one. Numero numero uno.

Mhm.

But I need to preach

because if I don't preach I or teach I feel like I have no life in me.

So you say you are a writer but it's easy for you to quit on writing.

Then you're not called to be a writer.

You're saying you know what I I am I am a social media manager. That's right.

One deal goes bad, you say like I'll never manage anybody ever again. You quit.

Then you're not called to do it.

You have not outgrown it. You have given up on yourself. [snorts]

The absence of the spark means that you are not who you say you are.

See some other people they said I am the real prophet with the gift. Why aren't they prophesying anymore? I'm a real prophet with a gift. I used to tell him how to prophesy.

Mhm.

When have they ever prophesied like me? Or can they even prophesy like I do?

See, my thing is I take the gift God has given me so serious. And it's not about people.

Souls are on the line. Yes, souls need to be saved. Yes, I completely agree.

But I will tell you this, my loyalty is not to souls. My loyalty is to Jesus

who will save those souls.

Amen.

I do everything I do not for souls because I didn't die for any soul.

I do everything I do for the one who died for my soul.

It's a different kind of drive.

I'm not driven by optics.

There's a time we barely feel after we were attacked. There was a time we barely filled the main century like just almost there are times one side will completely be empty seats.

Yeah.

But now again if you're [clears throat] coming to church, you come late, you have no seat.

Mhm.

in less than a year.

Mhm. In less than a year.

So if you quit on yourself,

is that really your calling?

Big Sham say we are back better than ever and she ain't lying. This was the biggest prophetic school yet.

Yeah.

Yeah. Look at what Hika Asika Aa said. Yes. I would get uh a century seat easily. Now it's not anymore. The early bird didn't get the seat.

So if your fire can be killed, it's not your calling.

That's really good. Because one thing that people have forgotten, one thing that people have forgotten, the earth, the the art of every growth requires patience and endurance.

Patience when it's growing, endurance for tough times.

People don't know how to endure.

I will say it one more time. Patience for when some things are growing and they are brewing. Endurance for when times are tough.

Mhm.

Because tough times will come. No matter what you do in life, tough times will always be present.

There is no running away from it. There is no escaping it. Tough times will come.

I love what Musa just said here. He said endurance training. Okay. Endurance training is only performed when exhaustion is present. That's true.

So I ask you again So I ask you again, if you can easily quit on what God has given you, is it really your calling?

Is it really your calling?

Get a position. I quit. Why? They're treating me bad. That's enough for you to abort what God gave you to do.

No, you're talking.

That's not your calling.

You're helping

me. I will fire you on the spot.

You're helping.

laughter

Voila.

I'll fire you on the spot.

If you're working for me, you're fired on the spot. What's up, Esther?

You're looking still like very summer.

Can I say hi?

Yeah. Yeah. Everybody say hi to Esther.

So understand this.

If the spark for what you do is not there, I know you thought, "Oh, if I no longer feel it, it means I should move on." No.

If the spark dies, it means you're never called. It was a hobby that you turned into a job, but it wasn't really your calling.

That's the same way people give up on people in relationships.

You're my brother. You're my sister.

They come out, they say, "You're a rapist." They disassociate. They make posts.

It tells you immediately they were never your brother or what? Your sister.

It was an art.

I've seen pastors quit preaching. How do you quit preaching?

Yeah.

Moses didn't stop preaching until he was an old man

that is about to die. God is taking him. Then he passes it on to Jo. How are you quitting?

Yeah.

When I go and see my bishop, my bishop is still fully active. is looking for every reason to teach to elevate people. You you can just quit on yourself just like that is crazy.

It means you are never called.

The reality is I love I love what I love what fashionista just said.

If you failed, you are pretending the whole time. Yeah, if you if you failed the test, you are pretending the whole time. That's true. Because you see, world has the world has trends. Nursing is the only way I can make money. So, I'm going to go and do nursing.

Oh, then crypto is the thing. Remember when everybody was a crypto expert?

Yeah.

What happened to crypto experts?

laughter

People had classes in schools. You couldn't you couldn't turn anywhere and you didn't see krypto.

It was crazy.

Hey Katarina the prophetist. God bless you. So you're like uh-uh yo, what happened to all the financial classes?

Then then there was a time the stock market was a thing.

What happened to the stock market? What happened to that? Uh Musini said they drive Uber now. Fire feed that there's one thing I learned. Uh uh there's something I learned.

Um, you see, true financial teachers are like uh uh Lolita Brown.

She actually manages money for millionaires and stuff.

If she gives you financial advice, you take it. You run with it.

Other ninjas shouldn't be.

Prophet Maluk, love you, my son.

Everyone is a podcaster now. And that's also dying out. You're not interesting enough. Why would anybody listen to you being You see what people forget is at the end of the day it's about substance.

If you don't have substance, you will dry up.

And you cannot have substance without a calling. Mhm.

Just because you're a good speaker, just because you can be funny, just because you can do all these things, it does not mean it's your calling. No.

The bro pastor teach the brokers cause they broke the broker than you.

laughter

Oh god.

I suspect the next Revelation Night might be in Australia or Kenya. Maybe South Africa. I don't know. But it will be either in Africa or Australia. One of one one of them. Guys, make sure you get your tickets. Go get your tickets. If you haven't got them, go get them now. Number three.

Number three, your focus tells whether it's your calling or not.

Your focus will tell you the lack of focus doesn't mean you you have outgrown you have outgrown something. Only children need to be excited to be given excitement to eat.

Only children need to be entertained to do what they need to naturally do.

Not grown people.

So some people need some entertainment for their focus to be retained. That means it's not your calling.

Your vision should retain your focus.

Your vision should be able to retain your focus.

Is this making sense?

Yes.

So I I like sale to eat.

You have to play. You have to do this. Then you'll eat. You want to eat? Mm. But you're hungry. But he's hungry. But you have to entertain him to eat.

Why should anybody entertain you for something that is your destiny?

Why does anybody need to excite you for you to be focused?

Means it was never for you.

Your vision ought to retain your focus.

You have to be so locked in that every distraction is silenced. You are motivated by the vision.

You're not motivated by your co-workers. Oh, so and so's going to work. Yeah, I'm going to go to Yeah, it's going to be fun. Who told you we are working to be for it to be fun? It's a mission. So there's a lot of people who are losing themsel in places they shouldn't because they don't understand what it means to have something God given to you.

Sham said my new goal is to outwork you. Yeah, you know there's something I was saying I have 1% on this. Can I borrow that before? Sorry. Oh my That is Roger.

Roger. Uh let let me say it like this. I'm going to say Oh my gosh. Cancel. Oh, I almost canled you. Facebook cuz I hit the finish button. Okay.

Is this game?

Yeah. It's It's going It's going to be fine. It's going to be It's not that it's It's on my stand. All right.

Uh I'm going to see it this way.

Still blurry, huh? Jeez.

Okay, that should be better. Um, I lost my thought.

You need to outwork everybody that is successful

or else you'll never catch up.

I was talking to Maluk. I was talking to u Sham her husband Jaan. I was talking to all the guys that were around me and I was telling them if you cannot outwork me, how are you ever going to catch up?

My goal is in what God has given me is to work harder than everybody. Number one, so that God can be proud of me. And number two, so that I fulfill what God has given me with excellence. So I am driven by that goal. That goal is burning in me. That desire is burning in me to just keep pressing forward, pressing forward, pressing forward, pressing forward, pressing forward until God looks and says, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Some of you are living like you're on a vacation yet you're supposed to be building. If a home homes usually take based on the complex um you know [clears throat] uh based on the complexities a home can take a year to build. Let's say a year to build.

If you only build 5 minutes a day, when are you going to finish that house?

Because building a home, builders work 10 hours every day to finish a home in one year. But you only use 5 minutes to build a day.

How long will that take you to build? Let's let's look at uh somebody do the math. It takes a year to build a house. Construction workers are using 10 days 10 hours a day to build and that makes them finish in one year. You are spending 5 minutes a day to build. How how long will it take you to finish that house?

Mhm.

Somebody said too long.

120 years.

120 years for something that should take one year. You will die before you even start the driveway.

I don't think you'll finish the No, you won't even finish the driveway, leave alone the building.

So, some of you don't realize you don't have 120 years and you're supposed to get something done. But you say, you know, as long as you put 5 minutes into your dreams every day, [snorts] 5 minutes.

No wonder it's a
