WHAT I HATE IS SOMEONE TELLING ME “EYAH SORRY”
A WOMAN CAME FROM AMERICA BRAGGADOCIOUS AND ASKED IF WE NEED HELP.
WE TOLD HER YOU ARE TOO SMALL BUT IF YOU NEED HELP WE WILL HELP YOU.
OUR PEOPLE HAVE MADE THEMSELVES STUPID IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD. THEY WILL SNAP PICTURES OF VILLAGES AND SEND ABROAD BEGGING FOR HELP. NOT ALL OF US ARE LIKE THAT.
FAITH PEOPLE ALWAYS THINK VERY BIG; THEY DON'T HAVE MICROSCOPIC MENTALITY.
ORDINARY PEOPLE THINK LIKE PAUPERS AND BEGGARS; FAITH PEOPLE DON'T BEHAVE BEGGARLY. THEIR MIND DOES NOT ACCOMMODATE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE BEGGARS.
Faith people, they have a different mindset from other people. For example, faith people don't behave beggarly. Their mind does not accommodate anything that looks like they are beggars. They don't operate like that (Genesis 14:21-23). When Abraham's wife died, they gave him free burial ground. He said, "I don't want to collect this thing free; you are giving me this thing out of pity; not out of favour. I don't like pity. Tell me the price, I want to pay for it." Personally, what I hate the most in life is, "Eyah, sorry." I have no accommodation for it. Abraham said, "give me the price of it, I'll pay cash." They begged him, he said no and he paid cash for it, because faith changes your way of thinking.
Ordinary people think like paupers and beggars; you don't think like that. You don't think inferior to anybody under Heaven. When your mind changes like that, people will think you are proud or arrogant, no! Pride is an exaggerated estimation of yourself. You don't exaggerate your estimation of yourself; you just have an accurate estimation of yourself. Now, when you undervalue yourself, that is not humility, that is stupidity. When you are moving about apologizing; "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I offend you?" Somebody came some time ago, she said she came from America; she was ostentatious and braggadocious. We were in Area One then. She said she came to see if there's anything, whether she can help the Church in any way. I looked at her and said, "you are too small to help the Church. If you need help, tell us; our assignment is to help people." The pride broke on the spot, because they think that you are in Africa, so you are in need of help. No, we send help out of this Country and it is true; our people have made themselves stupid in the eyes of the world. They will snap pictures of people in the villages and send abroad and say, "we need help, send us money." No, not all of us are like that! Faith changes your mindset
Faith people also think very big; they don't have microscopic mentality. They have an elastic mind; they think very big. When you see things out of the Word, they affect your belief and then they begin to affect the way you think; your mind is expanded, your mind is changing.
