and Lord we want to thank you again for this time and for this season and for all that you do in our lives we give you thanks and praise in Jesus name amen well good evening God bless you good to have you here this evening and help me welcome someone to this place right now thank you Lumi thank you Judah thank you thank you thank you thank you Hallelujah you may be seated in his presence I'd read to you from Luke chapter 18 and verse one and um maybe we'll just we'll just take off from from there in Luke 18 verse1 then he spoke a parable to them that men always ought to pray and not lose heart men always ought to do what pray and not lose heart someone trying to explain this said if you are losing heart then you need to pray and I found out to be a very powerful principle that if you're getting discouraged just pray even if you don't know what you're praying for the Bible makes us to understand in Jude 20 that he that prays in an unknown tongue edifies himself you you charge yourself like a battery amen hallelujah I also know that no prayer that is prayed is wasted especially when we pray in the Holy Spirit and so it's good for us to gather at this time just to to put some prayer in place in order to secure the future that lies ahead of us and we've been spending time looking at Noah and learning lessons from Noah and I want to believe that it's been not just a time of Revelation unveiling and illumination but it's also being a time for you to prepare your heart so that you can tune to the frequency of Heaven because I've come to find out that the more we pray the more we are acquainted with what God is about to do in our own lives am I getting an aen amen today the more we pray one of one of the easiest ways to pierce into the dimension of Revelation is by praying one of the easiest ways to become acquainted with God's unveiling is by praying the more time you invest in prayer um the more the more you know and you can pick the frequency of Heaven um there was somebody recently there was somebody I needed to meet and I'd never met the person before and someone had sent me you know contacts as to how I can you know a phone number to the person and before I send that message I knew the person would know me and I knew the person would know certain details I just knew so by the time I sent the message and I got a response and the person was saying are you so so so and so person I knew it was going to happen ahead of time I knew that it was not stepping into an unfamiliar amiliar territory but was stepping into a familiar territory how can these things be known they are spiritually revealed to us is somebody getting what I'm saying and the more we are tuned and and the way we fine tuned is really by prayer that we can we can feel ahead we can understand ahead we can comprehend ahead we can know the mind of God concerning us and so as we invest time praying and I don't know how many more sessions we're going to have um you know be because we're hitting December very soon and um I just want you to take every moment seriously and I trust that the Lord will truly help you greatly in the name of Jesus so let's turn to our text um Genesis chapter 6 from vers verse 8 I'd like to read from um the message translation Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 Hallelujah message translation Noah was different let's let's look at the living Bible translation I think that's the one I I want us to read from Living Bible tlb I think media is a challenge with tlb I think it's NLT they have that's NIV let me let me read um from my translation whatever it falls out to be but it's the living Bible okay thank you but Noah was a pleasure to the Lord are you a pleasure to God I mean Noah was a pleasure to the Lord that's the way the living Bible captures Noah found Grace With God Noah was a pleasure to the Lord here is the story of Noah he was the only right truly righteous man living on the earth at that time he tried always to conduct his Affairs according to God's will are you reading with me now Noah was not necessarily a perfect human being how many of you get what I'm saying but look at the way the living Bible puts it he tried always he made attempt to always conduct his Affairs according to God's Will and he had three sons Shem ham and jaffet he was the only truly righteous man living okay what is has happened meanwhile the crime rate was Rising rapidly across the Earth and as seen by God the world was rotten to the core as God observed how bad it was and saw that all mankind was vicious and depraved he said to Noah I have decided to destroy all mankind for the Earth is filled with crime because of man yes I will destroy Mankind from the Earth make a boat from resos wood sealing it with tar and construct decks and stalls throughout the ship make it 450 ft long that's about one and a half times the length of a football field 75 ft wide and 45 ft High construct a skylight all the way around the ship 18 in below the roof and make three decks inside the boat a bottom middle and upper deck and put a door in the side look I am going to cover the Earth with a flood and Destroy every living thing everything in which there is the Breath of Life all will die but I promise to keep you safe in the sheep with your wife your sons and their wives bring a pair of every animal a male and a female into the boat with you to keep them alive through the flood bringing a pair of each kind of bird and animal and reptiles store away in the boat all the food that they and you will need and Noah did everything as God commanded him as God commanded him remember what we read earlier he tried always to conduct his Affairs according to God's will I think that's the reason why Noah was a pleasure to God that God God looked upon the face of the Earth and he saw a man who did his best to do everything in line with the will of God God you know it's it's amazing the way God sees us and um if you've been if you went to a good school you'd realize especially at the primary level and all you'd realize that a good teacher would not just Mark in order to determine who passes and fails sometimes you would find written and I I know some of you might have experienced this you would you would find written good effort are you getting what I'm saying now you you didn't get the highest of grades you probably were somewhere in the middle or even um maybe you scored 40% and you write you you see the teacher right um improving do do you get what I'm saying and and that communicates the idea that this person tried as much as they could am I talking to people they tried as much as they could but there's room for improvement so every time God would look on the earth and look at Noah he saw Noah putting in his best per time putting in his best to please God putting in his best to live and conduct his Affairs according to God's will now the reason I'm taking us through the living Bible translation again is to get us out of the cobwebs of probably you know the new King James and maybe to see some of the dimensions in relatable terms um that we can all connect with but uh tonight I I want us to scrutinize and try to see and gain understanding as to what Noah really built and especially with respect to focusing on the resources that were available for him now let's go to Luke chapter 14 last week we were looking at building and we we spend some time praying in certain regards but look at Luke chapter 14 and we'll read from verse 27 and this would read straight out of the nkjv Jesus was speaking and said whoever does not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple and verse 28 puts across a very powerful principle for which of you intending to build a tower or a house does not sit down first and count the cost whether he has enough to finish it lest after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish all who see it begin to mock him saying this man began to build and was not able to finish so he establishes that it is not starting that is most important it is starting and finishing there are many starters in life who never finish the many people who begin the journey who never finish there many people who start a business and they just give up halfway the many people who start a marriage and they give up halfway are you getting what I'm saying there many people who start a Ministry and they will give up halfway do you know that if you follow this principle and you look at um God's God's Eternal plan God celebrates not just who those who start but those who finish so the Book of Revelation tells us that he that endures to the end you see that consistently he'll give a crown he'll give a stone he'll give a name and so many things he that endures to the end I have you ever run in a race have you ever watched the Olympics have you ever seen the athletes that even the slower the slowest one will finish that if you don't break or set a new world record you will set an olympic record if you don't set a new olympic record you will set a new African record have you observed that if you don't set an African record you set any New Village record at least you are the fastest man from your village because when you are running a race and you see the Olympic record has been broken the world record maybe has been taken the tendency to say what am I running for but you may run the fastest time you've ever run in your life personal best and those things are recorded those things are now and you can go home and celebrate with your family and say this is my personal best at least I run faster this year than I ran last year am I talking to people so finishing is important can you imagine what would have happened if Noah started to build that Ark and didn't finish it talk to me somebody can you try can you imagine that and so verse 31 says which king going to make war against another king does not sit down first and consider whether he's able with 10,000 to meet him who comes against him with 20,000 or else while the other is still a great way off he sends a delegation and asks conditions of Peace recently there was a coup in ner and the Nigerian government announced and said we are going there we won them they didn't consider the implications of going to war when they sat down to think about it what happened they went into negotiations because that would have been really terrible for us as a country and lives would just have been lost carelessly so here you also see that even with respect to Warfare you need to do what you need to count the cost meaning that everything has a price it will cost you something victory has a price are you getting what I'm saying the life of faith has a price being fervent in your spirit has a prize running the race to the end has a prize we need more finishers to emerge upon the face of the Earth and not just people who will finish but also people who will finish strong am I talking to people here today we all know the story of King Solomon and the Great temple that he built I want us to look at it with a bit of scrutiny and and see what the scripture says in 1 Chronicles chapter 28 there's some detail here that would bless us greatly and please when we're gathered like this just don't be a spectator incline your ear because everything is of Great Value to you you're receiving tools that will help you in your life and in the days to come 1 Chronicles 28: 11 then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vegetable its houses its treasuries its upper chambers its inner Chambers and the place of the mercy seat and the plans for all that for all that he had how by what he had by the Spirit how did he have it by the spirit what plans talk to me guys now there's something here that I want you to see David desired to build God a house and what did God tell him you cannot build a house but your son will build the house so how is it that the man who was told won't build the house how did he receive the plan for the house now how did it's I I I I pray you're get what I'm saying he said I want to build you a house God said said don't build a house your son will build the house so it's the son's responsibility or God's responsibility to give the plan to the son so how did David who was clearly told not to build a house how did he get the plan thank you those are the words he pressed in to download plans and then give it to his son tell your neighbor press him he pressed him and he outlays how he got the plan and the plans for all that he had by the spirit of the Courts of the house of the Lord of the chambers all around of the treasuries of the house of God and of the treasuries for the dedicated things if you jump to verse 19 you then would see what it says all these said David the Lord made me understand how how made me understand in writing by his hand upon me all the works of these plans so what is David saying David is some of you would say David is saying um I just entered the trans and I held a paper I mean a patch a pen and a parchment and my eyes were closed and I just began to write and suddenly I saw the plan that's the way we would think this happened now he said the hand of the Lord was upon me the Lord made me understand in writing by his hand upon me now what I'm trying to put out here is that the vision that he got by the spirit God enabled him to translate into writing it is called Write the vision and make it plain and that is where many people get lost in their lives great ideas and Concepts just ask them can you put down a business plan that's the end of the dream and do you know why because they're not willing to make the effort that's is as simple as that they're not willing to make the effort you know the idea that if you the idea that if you have an idea and God has given you an idea it will naturally come to pass it's fallacy am I talking to people to make the effort sometimes and I've seen people struggle with you you know I've I've hit a roadblock with certain people say I need a job and I say send me your resume and that's the end cuz they can't make the effort to just put a resume together and that's the end and what does it take to to to articulate your life and your skills what does it take but to make the effort we we sadly have created a crop of Believers that are just lazy and just think it's going to happen because God said it I believe it that's it to it you remain here and you'll be wondering where your life ends or how your life is is really going to you know come to fruition am I talking to people so look at the people we're learning from look at David downloaded it and he sketched it out so he wasn't just sharing things with Solomon he gave him a blueprint Sir with Dimensions accurate Dimensions at that am I talking to people it covers every field so how do you think Noah built the ark God God gave him Dimensions but I want to believe that he wrote some things down hello he sketch some things he kind of put down the material that he would need the resources that he would need he penned it down he knew how many trees he would have to cut hello what about the animals you know I sharing last week and I said the size of the animals would naturally matter in order to fit it into the ark and I said I want to give credit to Noah because he must have sat down to calculate the size of the animals but you know something I was reading that was for me much more exceeding because when I said that I hadn't read this scripture in Genesis 6:19 God had done the calculation for Noah look at Genesis 6:19 and of every living thing of All Flesh you shall bring two of every s into the ark to keep them alive with you they shall be male and female of the birds after their kind of animals after their kind of every creeping thing of the kind of the Earth after his kind two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive did you read that in one light is like you gather them but then God said what he said they will come to you so you don't have to look for lion lion and his lion and his side chiek okay sorry and and and lioness you just see them coming to you you when the ark is built you don't have to go into the bush to start saying let me look for I I I pray somebody is getting what I'm saying where's the elephant let's let's set trap to couch no once the ark is built you just see the male and female elephant walking Stressless you see every bird coming to you the vulture the I mean Eagle the dove every single one will come to you and you will guide them to their own residence so help me ask your neighbor what is coming to you and if nothing is coming to you why isn't it coming to you they're just some powerful powerful powerful powerful truths like this it came to him two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive your purpose is to keep them alive but they will come to you and you know what no matter how Wild the lion is he will submit to you he will never Roar at you were snakes included here too huh Anaconda whichever one it is they sharpen in quote if you look at the symbolism was the enemy of man in the Garden but in the ark that same form will be there totally submitted to Noah and Satan will not be able to use it to tempt Mrs Noah are you getting what I'm saying we need to pray some things to come to us let me wrap up my thoughts so that we can begin to pray what resources did Noah need to build the ark you know if I ask some of you what you think your greatest barrier is you're going to sa money h trold but if I ask you how much you don't even know yeah you don't you just say money but how much money is money enough for you hello do you know right now no thank you for being honest just say money Lord send money how much say just sendy you know what I need before I ask Noah would need what to build the ark let's do this together what will he need to build the ark wood primary material what else would he need tar you need nails or Fasteners you need Manpower what else would he need you need tools saw Hammer think about it what else would he need in the ark you probably would need pots of clay or whatever to feed you know to put the animals food water vessels that can store water food for himself and his family and obviously for the animals mhm beddings maybe straw I don't know what they slept or mats things to cook with things to eat from wine Pastor Nicholas you like wine what cost Wala measuring equipment as well because you need to be able to measure each Plank and measure the ark to make sure that you're building it according to its right size and you know one of the things with building an ark like this is that you don't start from the body you start from from the from the structure you start from the frame do you get what I'm saying it's like a house you build your columns and your your beams and then you you put the clading around it so he'll need accurate equipment to help him measure you need levels so that your boat is not one-sided now all of these things are simply termed resources and that's really what I want us to focus our prayer upon cuz resources need to come to us I try to look up you know the entire scope of resources that exist and thanks to chart GPT it came up with a powerful list but I had to add one because CH GPT does not know everything I had to add my own into it number one it says natural resources natural resources these are materials or substances naturally occurring in nature water minerals Forest oil natural gas coal sunlight I'm just looking at all the resources then there are renewable resources and we know that um wind energy solar energy some kinds of forests where you plant trees quickly growing and then you repl plant those are renewable forests then nonrenewable resources um fossil foils coal oil iron copper nonrenewable energy sources and all then this is very very Key Human Resources too I was saying last week and I asked the question how many people helped Noah build the ark it's easy to say was him and his family and I've said it at times but the Bible never said it was just him and his family I believe that Noah might have or must have recruited people did Solomon recruit people turn to 2 Chronicles let's look at it in chapter 2 verse 17 that will help you know that you can't do it alone you can't go alone you can't Journey alone and know that each one of us has individual Parts but but God has designed us for connection 2 Chronicles 2:17 then Solomon numbered all the [Music] aliens did you see that who are they aliens who are in the land of Israel after the census in which David his father had numbered them and they were found to be 153,00 aliens and he made 70,000 of them to be burden bearers 880,000 Stone Cutters in the mountain 3,600 overseers to make the people work now this is not inclusive of the children of Israel and that's why I focus on this aliens they called expat it yeah because that's that's really that's you're if you're an expert you're an alien and he brought them in and said now this is God's work this is God's Temple but yet aliens were involved religion will say no only Jews should build it talk talk to me someone religion will say we're building a church for God no muslim should walk on site is only Christians because they would defile it aliens didn't care about their religion but he considered them resources that heaven had provided when you speak about human resources we're talking about skills knowledge abilities creativity and labor that is provided by individuals then we talk about Financial Resources as well well Financial assets cash savings investment stocks bonds and credit physical resources Machinery equipment infrastructure buildings and tools intellectual resources as I'm reading these you should be saying to yourself which one of these do I need when I came into the Hall today it looks so different from Sunday hello I'm like where are those colored lights I just love them do you get what I'm saying it was all so nice and bright this is where we were this is normal church do you get what I'm saying Sunday was a special event but try to think about the resources that came in the lights the screens that was part of what gy Communications dided for Lighthouse and they didn't charge us a dime didn't charge us a dime not a dime put all those lights put up the screen did all of that and deployed their Manpower and didn't even ask for one naira so when you see blessing and increase come you be saying God is partial no some people have swn seeds now that they have removed their light see where we are are you are you get what I'm say see see where we are the stage is looking like something is missing but you can't have those kind of lights every time if not you won't hear the word again you won't you know so resources infastructure buildings and tools intellectual resources do we ever consider consider these as significant any knowledge based assets that contributes to Innovation and competitiveness is what is called intellectual resources what about technological resources tools Machinery equipment you know some of these things overlap cultural resources as well do we ever consider culture as a resource yes it is Traditions languages the richness of a society is something to be valued Nigeria is a rich Society it's just that there's a lot of perversion that's going on and lots of foreigners would love to learn from us and see when when we add our our cultural flavor to Enterprise and the way we do the things we do then you have informational resources data information libraries databases research education and you have environmental resources clean air water biodiversity just that we we don't relate well with biodiversity when we see monkeys we kill it and eat almost every species elephants were going extinct they were threatened and dangered species in Nigeria um until recently I think where where a group of about I think close to a thousand elephants were seen somewhere in Nigeria just huge herds and that showed some hope that they had been spared because we killed you know when a whale in Nigeria kinds of get stranded on the beach you see in the Western World they push it back into the sea you know in yeah in Nigeria they say ah God has sent meat see Cutlass chop it up that that's how we are we we do not support biodiversity if it's left to us nothing will exist kill everything and eat one of the rarest species of of monkeys is in Cross River State and it's it's protected cuz that's the only place I think we can find it in the world was protect protected cuz if he not protected that's bush meat what about social resources networks relationships social connections Community Resources that provide support opportunities and social cohesion number 13 which GPT could not give spiritual resources you have to add that one is not even not it's not complete I've listed all all these resources you know why because you need all of them you need all of them at different times for different assignments that God has given to you the resources must come and so we must give Noah credit for being able to pull all these resources together social resources physical resources renewable nonrenewable information look at that huge Spectrum but it put everything together look at the life of Jesus and you would find him to be one who was who understood the value of resources whether it's Human Resources whether it's physical resources and not only that he could spot them he could see them you know when you look at the feeding of the 5,000 look at the response of the disciples when they brought the bread and the fish they said this is not much see that was their own pray what if Jesus has also said carry this in way is nothing those people would probably have died of hunger but he could see value in even that which was little as far as it was concerned this is a good starting point here are the resources that are required for the feeding of 5,000 it might not be much but that little boy who brought it and offered it just don't think they snatched it from him he must have heard a conversation we're hungry what will we eat and like little children sometimes can be say can will this help you know how children can be you tell a child I'm hungry and he's eating biscuit and he give you maybe one to eat and and after you eat he says I hope you are full cuz for a child I mean I've done my best you should be full must I've said will this help they must have said have you seen the crowd well let's take it to Jesus brought to Jesus is like this is this is just what is needed I know you don't need resources oh you need resources to make marriage sweet believe me many marriages break because many arguments in the family is usually because there's no money too much in see when you know what it's like some of the reasons why your wife talks to you is because you need to buy gas do you get what I'm saying if if you have one year supply of gas you know that there's no more conversation about gas talk to me if you have five bags of rice in your house you know that any conversation will be like I want to give this person I want it will be about distribution but when when you just come out of prayer meeting and you go home and your wife says to you the r don't finish it can be a catalyst for offense I know I'm not talking to you I'm talking to other people because you you don't have those kinds of challenges that's just Financial Resources just one element so I want us to stand on our feet tonight and I want us to pray I want us to ask God for a release of resp sources our way that even as we Face the season that is coming that none of us will be lacking in the resources that we need in order to execute the dreams that God has put on the inside of us we won't be lacking in Financial Resources we won't be lacking in human resources and God will open our eyes to be able to recognize these resources as it brings them real remember that when the time came Noah did not have to sweat about certain things we find that the animals came to him something sovereignly and divinely will come to us I just want us to pray and let's ask the father that resources in this season as the days ahead are beckoning on us that there will be a flow of resources in a direction in a the name of Jesus like we've never experienced before like we've never had before social resources for I
