Summary
Bishop Henry Fernandez challenges believers to stop settling for average by plugging into God's greater power to fulfill extravagant visions. Drawing from David's preparation for the Temple, the sermon emphasizes that greatness requires the right associations, personal sacrifice, and the courage to start projects that will outlive the builder.
Key points
- •Greatness is often a multi-generational project; David laid the foundation, but he understood that his son Solomon was destined to finish the work.
- •If your vision doesn't scare you or challenge you financially, you likely haven't tapped into your greatest potential or the 'greater power' God provides.
- •The people you surround yourself with act as your 'voltage'; low-voltage associations will prevent you from functioning at your full capacity and power.
- •God often chooses 'inexperienced' people for great tasks to demonstrate that the achievement comes through His anointing rather than human skill alone.
- •Personal investment is required before seeking outside support; David gave from his own treasures before asking the assembly to contribute to the Temple.

Life application
Conduct a 'voltage audit' of your inner circle this week by identifying one relationship that drains your vision and one that energizes it, then intentionally set boundaries with the former while seeking mentorship from the latter.
Reflection questions
- What big dream have you stopped pursuing because it felt too expensive or beyond your experience level?
- In what areas of your life are you currently functioning as a 'Showboat' (all appearance) rather than a 'Tugboat' (functional power)?
- Are you surrounding yourself with 'Eagles' who push you higher, or 'chickens' who keep you grounded in average living?
- What 'unfinished houses' or abandoned goals in your life need to be restarted with God's power today?

0:00please be seated in the presence of the
0:03Lord
0:04I want to talk to you about
0:07you getting plugged into a greater power
0:12plug into a greater power saved with me
0:17plug into a greater power one more time
0:21plug into a greater power what am I
0:26saying that there's a greater Source
0:28there's a greater energy there's a
0:31greater power that you have yet to tap
0:35into
0:37I submit to you that there are many of
0:40you in this room and those of you are
0:42streaming you have yet to tap into your
0:46greatest potential
0:49your functioning on average
0:53the sad part about it is
0:57you perhaps don't even care
1:01perhaps it doesn't matter to you
1:05because you have settled for Where You
1:07Are
1:09greatness is locked upon the inside of
1:12you you are so great that God wants your
1:15greatness to outlive you
1:19yet you're living
1:21with average
1:24what we just read a moment ago
1:27was actually
1:29a prayer David prayed in the building
1:32that the people of God had willingly
1:36given of their resources to build for
1:40the Lord
1:42it was the building of the Temple
1:45the task
1:47to build the house of God was a huge one
1:51it was very expensive to build because
1:55after all the god that you and I serve
1:58is an extravagant God so when people try
2:03to
2:04lower your expectation of life when
2:07people try to make you think that you're
2:10too presumptuous to dream big I guess
2:14they don't know our God
2:17he expects the best from all of us
2:22and I know we Are CL we're we're being
2:24cluttered with a lot of people around us
2:27and who's around us can literally affect
2:31our vision
2:34that's why you got to be careful of who
2:36you surround yourself with
2:40in fact I believe the building project
2:43was so extravagant and so expensive that
2:46David knew
2:48he would not be the one to finish the
2:51construction of the building
2:54notice
2:55David knew he was not the one to finish
3:01that really caught my attention
3:04David knew here's this extravagant
3:08expansive temple they're building and
3:11I'll talk to you about that in a moment
3:13this building was not for David was not
3:16for man it was for God it was building
3:20the house of God
3:23yet David knew
3:26that he was not the one
3:29to finish it
3:31greatness is in you in such a great way
3:35that what God will start in you it's so
3:39big so powerful so great you will never
3:42finish it
3:45it will out
3:47you
3:49David was fully aware that God had
3:53someone else in mind
3:55for the task
3:58and that person was David's son Solomon
4:03as I read this passage in first
4:06Chronicles 29 God began to speak to me
4:10and instructed me to ask you ladies and
4:13gentlemen to apply the events of First
4:16Chronicles 29 to what is happening in
4:20your life right now
4:23how do we take
4:25this historic event
4:29and apply to today's world
4:32how do we do that
4:34when we read the Bible how do we take
4:36the word of God and make it relevant to
4:39who we are today or do we just read it
4:42as some ancient story that that you know
4:46uh is just there for us to remember what
4:48happened in history no I believe that
4:51The God Who allowed people to live
4:54through the Bible and actually uh have
4:58it documented so you and I can read it
5:00today it is to serve a purpose in our
5:03lives it's to bring us closer closer to
5:06him is for us to have a perfect
5:08understanding of how he operates so I
5:11believe First Chronicles 29 is still
5:14relevant to us today you see like David
5:18God is assigned some of you to start
5:22huge projects big Visions if you will
5:26crazy ideas that is bigger than you
5:31but you will not finish it will outlive
5:35you
5:37I have on stage
5:40this gentleman representing David
5:45and to my right which is your left
5:49Solomon his son
5:52what David was building was so huge so
5:57great so expensive so extravagant
6:02was a generational Legacy
6:06that God had him to start it
6:11but turned the Baton over to his son
6:16this is the struggle we have today
6:19the struggle of how do we have the
6:23current generation Baby Boomers how do
6:27we position ourselves to transfer over
6:31to the Next Generation the
6:35responsibility of continuing to build
6:38the work of God
6:40[Applause]
6:42how do we take what we're building in
6:46our own lives because back then David
6:49was building the physical temple of God
6:52but as you and I know today we are the
6:55temple of God how do we build our lives
6:59how do we build our dreams and how do we
7:03build our vision and then how do we turn
7:07it over to a generation that in some
7:11sense
7:12look like
7:14they're going to Fumble the ball
7:18David was concerned about that
7:20as we read on we'll find that out
7:23you see if your dream or your vision
7:26the ones that you have right now the
7:28building that you're constructing
7:31the things that you're engaged in does
7:34not scare you or challenge you
7:37financially just know you have not yet
7:41tapped into your greatest potential
7:44[Applause]
7:47I want to say that again
7:49if your dream
7:52or Vision the one you have right now
7:56the building or the construction that is
8:00taking place in your life whatever
8:02you're doing now I don't know a business
8:05I don't know maybe you're trying to
8:07start over again your life maybe you're
8:09you're trying to do something new
8:12relocate I don't know what you're trying
8:14to construct in your life listen to me
8:18carefully if it doesn't scare you or
8:22challenge your financial abilities
8:25oh
8:26it's a good chance
8:28that you have not yet tapped into your
8:31greatest potential
8:33because God somehow
8:36will thrust you into a responsibility
8:40that you know you cannot do it without
8:43him
8:45I don't know if I'm talking to anybody
8:46in the roof
8:48so for those of you who are hurting and
8:52crying and screaming and yelling at God
8:54and praying God what are you doing to me
8:58I can't handle this this is bigger than
9:01me I have an announcement to tell you
9:04today you are right where God wants you
9:13God will in most cases give you an
9:16assignment
9:18that you are incapable of doing without
9:22him empowering you to do it
9:25that's the kind of God we serve
9:29he told me to tell you the reason why
9:32some of you are not accomplishing
9:34greatness is because you have surrounded
9:37yourself with people who are draining
9:41you instead of energizing you
9:48thank you
9:51who were the people behind David
9:57who were the people behind David and who
10:01were the people behind Solomon who was
10:04now given the responsibility of
10:07finishing the work his daddy's started
10:12the forces that are behind you is
10:15crucial to where God has taken you
10:20and so we find ladies and gentlemen
10:23David in a position where he surrounded
10:27himself
10:28with some good people will talk about
10:30them in just a minute
10:33some good people
10:35he surrounded himself with good people
10:37and I honestly believe that some of you
10:40operate in
10:42or have plugged yourself into a low
10:46voltage environment
10:49yes that's good low voltage
10:54can't function
10:56at full
10:58capacity
11:01I was doing a remodeling at my mom's
11:04house
11:05and the electrical in our house is old
11:11the house was built I think in
11:14from that mistaken the 60s late 60s or
11:16something like that
11:19so in the kitchen
11:21in order for
11:23the stove to work
11:28they had to change the wire in
11:32because the voltage
11:35could not give the stove enough juice
11:40to work
11:42low voltage
11:44pretty stove
11:47but the voltage
11:51to make it work to give hate
11:56would not work unless
12:00we strengthen the voltage
12:04I wonder who is sitting in this room or
12:08listening right now as you're streaming
12:10God is saying the reason why there's no
12:13fire in you the reason why you can't
12:16burn and Thrive the way you're supposed
12:19to is because you're operating with low
12:24voltage
12:27oh you're pretty
12:29you're handsome
12:31you're looking great
12:34but it's all a show
12:37you ever been to a showroom
12:39you ever been to a showroom let's say
12:41you're going to redo your kitchen you
12:43ever go into a showroom and they show
12:45you the kitchen cabinet and they show
12:47you the refrigerator and they show you
12:49the stove and the microwave try turning
12:52it on
12:56it's just a show
12:58who do you want to be in this season of
13:00your life a Showboat or a tugboat
13:04there is a difference
13:06there is a difference
13:10a Showboat will just show but he can't
13:13you see when you go on a cruise if you
13:15ever take a cruise in Fort Lauderdale or
13:17Miami these big
13:21will come into port
13:23and from a distance this little small
13:26little boat
13:29will go and guide this huge pretty ship
13:34into port and I know we get all you know
13:40um excited and you know kind of looking
13:43at the big ship and so isn't that
13:46beautiful that ship
13:49would hurt itself
13:52and the shorelines if it's not Guided by
13:57that old little dirty Rusty
14:01tugboat
14:03don't you ever forget ladies and
14:06gentlemen the men and women who has been
14:11there for years and oh God don't even
14:14let me talk about that
14:16don't you ever forget people David David
14:20who started the foundation who built the
14:24thing it he may not look all young and
14:28ready and it looked like he can't do
14:30much now but don't you ever forget the
14:33the tugboats
14:35on what you need in order not to have
14:39something bad happening to you
14:44are you following me here this morning
14:46so be careful
14:48how you look at your life
14:51concerning what God has empowered you to
14:55do so God in most cases will give you
14:58the assignment that you're incapable of
15:00doing without him empowering you and
15:03I've told you before that you've got to
15:05plug yourself into God's power and stop
15:09operating with low voltage
15:12David knew that in order for him to
15:15build what God called him to build he
15:17needed to align himself with people who
15:21had the ability to support and encourage
15:24what God told him to do
15:27as you read the scripture here we find
15:29some interesting things about what
15:33happened here
15:34with David and of course she was worried
15:38he was concerned in fact once in in
15:40first Chronicles 29 he actually said it
15:44he said I know watch this I know my son
15:49Solomon is inexperienced
15:53and experience
15:55but he's got to finish it
15:59I know Solomon is inexperienced he don't
16:02know much
16:04he may mess this up
16:06but God David said it read it he then
16:10said but God anointed him to do it
16:16God will anoint you to do things that at
16:19times you know within yourself what in
16:22the world
16:24am I doing I know I've never been to
16:27school to do this I've never been
16:29trained I don't have the resources I
16:32don't know what I'm doing am I talking
16:34to anybody so far
16:36that's exactly the position Solomon
16:39found himself in a responsibility given
16:44to him
16:46that he was incapable of doing it
16:48without God's help his father even
16:52recognized it that my son is incapable
16:56of doing it I remember when I started
16:58pastoring this church the very first
17:01year 1991 I stood before just a few
17:05people I don't even think it was six
17:07people in the room and the new posture
17:10of this church I'll never forget it for
17:12the rest of my life
17:14I said to them
17:16I am the pastor of the plantation
17:19Worship Center we that was the name then
17:22and I don't know what I'm doing
17:25seriously that's what I told them I
17:27don't know what I'm doing
17:29but if you have faith in God
17:32let's do this together
17:3832 years later Look What the Lord Has
17:42Done
17:44don't tell me that God can't take your
17:47inexperience
17:49Empower you with the Holy Spirit to get
17:52the job done
17:54so I want to talk to those of you this
17:56morning who are streaming who are in
17:59this building about the vision and dream
18:01and the responsibility that God placed
18:04before you are you ready let me share a
18:06few things with you number one please
18:08pay attention here you're not crazy

18:25so you're not crazy number two don't
18:28worry about the funds needed to complete
18:32the assignment
18:36I don't know what you are dreaming to do
18:38and you're seated there and you're
18:41worried and you're saying God where's
18:43the money coming from don't you worry
18:46about the resources David was not
18:50worried about the resources because he
18:53did something that most of you are not
18:56doing
18:58and God sent me here this morning to
19:00tell you what David did to empower him
19:04to build the temple so much that they
19:08had enough resources that when he turned
19:10it over to Solomon the temple could be
19:13finished
19:14number three your assignment to build
19:17his house
19:20first you are assigned I should say to
19:23build his house first then your house
19:26your business your dream your wealth and
19:32your children's inheritance that's the
19:35order David did it in that order
19:39he said the house we're building is not
19:41for man
19:43it's God's
19:46seek ye first the kingdom of God and his
19:49righteousness and things will be added
19:52unto you that's the scripture number
19:56four some of you will be starters and
20:00others will be finishers
20:04I firmly believe and I've been saying
20:06this a long time I God allowed me to
20:08start this church but I will not finish
20:10it
20:12I've said if the if if the Lord tarries
20:15and there's no Rapture and so forth I
20:18know everybody's going to die we all get
20:21old
20:23I don't care how pretty you think you
20:25are I don't care how you fix your body
20:27up go ahead fix it up but time will tell
20:31baby there's going to be a time where
20:33that body is going to say don't put
20:36another needle another knife on me I'm
20:39tired
20:42thank you
20:47did I lose you
20:50you could go to the gym and pump all you
20:52want your body one day is going to say
20:55that's it
20:56I'm done
21:02you gotta know
21:05that some of you are going to be
21:06starters
21:08that's why you have to start what he's
21:10putting in you that thing that keeps you
21:13up at night
21:15whatever you're passionate about is
21:18scaring the heck out of you you gotta
21:21start it because he's not asking you to
21:24finish it there's a good chance God just
21:26wants you to what lay the foundation
21:32later your children will take it over
21:37maybe it's a partner we'll take it over
21:41but you must start it maybe you're not a
21:44finisher but you must start it David you
21:47must start it well God I ain't got the
21:49money I ain't got the resources ain't
21:50got the people yes you do
21:53God will never put something in you to
21:56do and didn't Empower you to get it done
21:59you have the power to do it and number
22:02five there's some Solomons out there
22:07who God is preparing
22:10so that they can pick up
22:13from where you will finish
22:17there's two levels to finish David
22:22will finish
22:26Solomon
22:27will start
22:30but he too will finish
22:32this is good
22:35in reality
22:37we're all finishers
22:40because God puts us in seasons
22:45and there's a beginning to a season
22:48and there's an ending to a season
22:53your job is to maximize your gift
22:58in your season
23:00your job is to finish well do what God
23:04has called you to do because you cannot
23:07turn the Baton over to the next
23:10Generation with an unfinished business
23:13on your part
23:15then number six guards your mind guard
23:17your mind guard your mind now if you
23:20train it well in the word of God
23:23it will get plugged into a greater power
23:25a greater power
23:27because there's something huge
23:30big
23:32that God is pushing you to do and if you
23:36don't train this
23:38this mind will tell you all kinds of
23:41stuff
23:42this mind will brainwash you to think
23:44that you're incapable of doing it so I'm
23:47sent here this morning to disassembly to
23:50tell you today that God has chosen you I
23:54love what David said please take a
23:56moment and read it David
23:58said God
24:01has chosen
24:03Solomon
24:06how good is that
24:09that an elderly person
24:12can recognize
24:15his or her season
24:18and can say
24:20I'm not given the Baton to any anybody
24:24there's a chosen one
24:27there's a Chosen One listen to me God
24:31chose you when God chooses a person
24:35I'm telling you I don't care how people
24:37criticize you I don't care how people
24:40don't believe in you if you are chosen
24:43God will equip you do believe that if
24:47you are chosen God will equip you so
24:51ladies and gentlemen I want you to look
24:52at what verse of uh Chronicles 29 I want
24:57you to look at verse 1. I want to take
24:58you there quickly because I've got to
24:59demonstrate this here and David the king
25:02said to the assembly Solomon my son whom
25:06the Lord has chosen confirm what I just
25:08said he said the Lord chose him
25:12his young and inexperienced
25:16and the work is great
25:19for the palace will not be
25:22for man
25:25but for the Lord
25:27so it's critical that we know our
25:30assignment and our season to fulfill
25:32that assignment and the importance of
25:35the US investing in our vision
25:39but here's what I want to bring out here
25:42when we look at verse 2 and I love this
25:45now verse 2. David then said for I have
25:49provided for the house of my God
25:54so far as I was able quickly the reason
25:57why David was able to say I have
26:00prepared for the house of the Lord in
26:02other words I took the building to a
26:05certain level
26:06based on my capacity here's a reason why
26:10read it he had some people behind him
26:14read it who were wealthy people
26:18because when the scripture described the
26:21gold the silver the bronze the iron
26:25that they gave to build the house of God
26:29the marble Stones the description of its
26:33beauty
26:34David could not have done it without the
26:37people behind him
26:40so I have stopped by to tell you
26:44based on the level of your vision should
26:47be based on the people you hang out with
26:53you cannot have a big vision and have
26:57small-minded people behind you
27:00supporting you
27:01[Applause]
27:06David would have not gotten to where God
27:09wanted him to be had he not have those
27:12people read it for yourself
27:14had he not had the people who had the
27:18resources watch this who gave willingly
27:23willingly that's the key
27:25to help support his vision remember fast
27:28forward now what is your vision
27:32what did God put in you
27:34what are you building
27:37what are you constructing in your
27:38personal life where do you see yourself
27:4110 years from now 20 years from now
27:44and if you can answer that question then
27:48the follow-up question is
27:51who's your friends
27:54who's the relatives you got hanging out
27:56with
27:57who you bringing up in your house
28:00what they life like
28:06because you can't have an eagle spirit
28:08and have chickens laying hands on you
28:11and flying with you
28:14chickens cannot fly with eagles
28:18they cannot go that high
28:21[Applause]
28:25am I talking to anybody this morning
28:29you got to tap into a greater power
28:33the level of your vision must match the
28:37level of your friendship
28:41who is behind you
28:43because you cannot constantly perpetuate
28:47the cycle of unproductivity in your life
28:51you cannot pass on to your Solomon
28:57the cycle of Brokenness
29:00failure
29:01Cutthroat gossip backbiting
29:06the crab mentality
29:09you can hand that over to Solomon
29:12because the responsibility of Solomon is
29:15so great and by the way he's
29:17inexperienced he don't know much but
29:19he's anointed
29:21and there's nothing like somebody being
29:24anointed and have the resources to do it
29:27ah
29:28Oh Glory to God hallelujah
29:33it's a tough thing when you're anointed
29:36and you still struggling
29:39you can sugarcoat that all you want
29:42but it ain't no greater power
29:45and when you know you're called to do
29:47something and God has anointed you and
29:49you can just write the check
29:52why because you had a good background
29:57oh this is going to hurt some of you now
30:00It's Gonna Hurt some of you because you
30:02all y'all thinking God wants us to build
30:04these big churches and so forth see back
30:06then he was building a physical Temple
30:09but if you think that this preacher's up
30:11here telling you to build another
30:13building for this church you missed the
30:15whole message amen
30:18what God is saying to us this morning
30:23is that he has called us to build what
30:25he's put in US
30:29and here's the problem
30:32many of you cannot transfer
30:36the greatness
30:37that's already in you over to your
30:41children your Solomons are going to
30:44suffer
30:47because of the crowd you hang in now
30:49with
30:54in 10 years you're going to be 60 in 20
30:57years you're going to be 70.
31:01and there's so much in you that God is
31:03saying I want your next generation your
31:07seed to finish
31:10the blessing that I've put in you
31:13but look who you hanging out with
31:17look who you got support in you
31:21don't have the right people around you
31:25David had the right people around him
31:28that it was easy for him to finish
31:32I was in Jamaica just this week I was in
31:34Jamaica just this week and we were
31:36driving in the mountains and we passed a
31:41lot of unfinished
31:44houses
31:47you go to the Bahamas
31:50you go to certain Caribbean islands
31:53you will go and these houses started
31:57in the 70s
32:01some people started it 20 years ago
32:05bushes and trees and all kinds of stuff
32:08is grown on the inside steel and wall is
32:11exposed and you could tell the building
32:14was there a long time on finished
32:21and as I drove
32:23it's just in me it's just in me
32:26I'm thinking
32:28why didn't they finish
32:30why
32:32most of those people prayed
32:35most of those people believed in God
32:38why didn't they finish the building it's
32:41not that they didn't fasted 40 days 40
32:43nights
32:45they didn't finish
32:48because they didn't have the back end
32:51you can spiritualize this all you want
32:54whenever you see an unfinished built in
32:57in most cases it ain't code enforcement
32:59they got the money
33:03what are you saying pastor you're not
33:05going to finish the big Vision if you
33:09don't have the right sources behind you
33:12[Applause]
33:13you can sugarcoat it all you want
33:17your life will be like those houses
33:21and I can see it by faith
33:24I can look in this audience
33:27and I can look
33:28at people who are streaming
33:31and as I'm passing by you
33:34I see
33:36unfinished lives
33:42I see potentials
33:45that were once exposed
33:48but you haven't even move an inch
33:51for the last five years
33:54corrosion
33:56all kinds of
33:59deadness or trees bushes
34:04clouded your life
34:08and you look like success
34:13but have no capacity
34:15to hold it
34:18the rooms look like they are
34:21okay that's the bedroom that's the
34:22kitchen
34:23but you serve no purpose
34:26because
34:28you are just there to remind people
34:30watch this catch this you had a vision
34:35had you did Runway
34:39run that's what scripture says
34:41but who hindered you why didn't you
34:43finish
34:45why didn't you finish
34:47why didn't you finish college
34:50why didn't you finish that degree
34:53why didn't you finish pursuing that goal
34:59Oh no you're comfortable
35:01you're comfortable watching other people
35:04build around you
35:07and as long and I saw it there were
35:09houses next door to an unfinished house
35:12beautiful
35:15and that oh thank you holy spirit thank
35:17you
35:18thank you thank you thank you
35:22you know what you do
35:24oh thank you God they're not gonna like
35:26this but I got to say it
35:28you know what you do when your life
35:31is in the midst of people
35:35that you are sitting in the midst of
35:37greatness around you
35:39and you're unfinished
35:41you devalue
35:44what's around you
35:49did you know that
35:51you affect your children you affect your
35:53spouse when your husband is a Visionary
35:56and you are not when you are an
35:59unfinished woman you are hurting this
36:02potential and the greatness of the
36:04family
36:07when your woman has the potential and
36:10the dream to be big and to be great and
36:13to help the family when she's doing all
36:16of that and you are an unfinished man
36:19you are devaluing that woman you are
36:22sucking the energy out of her and you're
36:24leaving her hopeless
36:26[Applause]
36:34be careful
36:37of who you've got around you
36:41in addition to all
36:44that David said he has provided he had
36:46the resources now watch this and I'm
36:48almost through here
36:50in addition to him saying I have the
36:53people to help me
36:55here's what David said
36:57he said I have treasure of my own gold
37:01and silver
37:03why is this important
37:05you see you cannot expect other people
37:09to support your vision or your
37:11assignment if you yourself don't support
37:14it
37:14[Music]
37:19he took the money from them
37:22to help construct the building
37:25but David said now I'm going to give my
37:28own
37:30I'm going to give and the Bible
37:32describes the amount of money David took
37:35out of his
37:36pocket
37:38to help finish in other words it's a
37:40personal investment some of you want
37:42people to invest in you
37:45because you don't even want to invest in
37:47yourself
37:51how how can I invest in you
37:55when you don't even want to invest in
37:57yourself
37:59why should I want to follow you why
38:02should I want to support your dream
38:04why should I want to support your
38:06business if you don't take pride in your
38:08business
38:10why
38:12why should I invest in you David says no
38:15I can't let these people believe that
38:17God has called me to build the temple
38:20and I not support it myself
38:23so David put his own resources he said I
38:27have provided for the house of the Lord
38:28my God so far as I was able and I love
38:33that as I was able David was saying I
38:35know I have my resources so I'm going to
38:38give the gold the silver and the bronze
38:40and the iron I'm going to give it I'm
38:43going to give even the wood he says
38:46and I'm going to give the highest
38:48quality to God
38:51and then we look at verse 9 the Bible
38:54says to people Rejoice now watch this
38:56the people rejoice
38:59because it was now time for transition
39:05he was now time for transition and I
39:09really do believe we're in that season
39:13who you align yourself with Solomon
39:20I am not sent this morning to talk to
39:23The Davids
39:27how long I set it up just to kind of
39:29tell you David got his stuff together
39:33he has the right people
39:36the right people he got it done
39:40now it's time for transition because
39:43according to the verse 10 the Bible says
39:46David now says therefore David bless the
39:50Lord in the presence of everybody David
39:53said you know what I did my part I'm not
39:56ashamed of this God that provided and
39:59supported me I am going to bless the
40:02Lord at all times and David says bless
40:05Are You O Lord the god of Israel Our
40:09Father forever and ever notice verse 11
40:12yours oh lord it's the greatness and the
40:15power the higher power in order for my
40:19son Solomon
40:21to finish
40:24what you have
40:26caused me to finish David speaking
40:30God you've got to put some greatness in
40:32him
40:33because you are The Great I Am
40:36let him mirror what I have done
40:39let him examine the people who's got
40:41behind them
40:43are you a contributor to my life
40:46are you trying to diminish my life
40:50that's what I want to know
40:53who are you what are you sent to do are
40:57you a criticizer of me are you jealous
41:00over me or do you want to take what my
41:02daddy gave me what why are you in my
41:05life ask somebody why are you in my life
41:11I want to know
41:14come on look at somebody and tell them I
41:15want to know why you're in my life

41:19the answer right there that gives you
41:22the answer right there
41:24why are you in my life
41:30because you're not going to come into my
41:31life after my daddy

41:36showed me how to build in the will of
41:38God I want to know
41:42who is with me to build
41:46I want to know who is with me to finish
41:49the greatness that was transferred in me
41:53you see some of you your grandparents
41:55has already transferred greatness in you
41:57they spoke it over you but the problem
42:00is you've got the wrong people behind
42:02you
42:05and maybe that's my assignment this
42:08morning to tell those of you are
42:10streaming you got to start removing some
42:13people out of your life
42:15oh God I don't know who I'm talking to

42:20some people why because if you don't do
42:23it the Legacy that was transferred to

42:43or maybe you don't have the vision to
42:45see

45:59where
46:01something
46:03that looks expensive
46:06just to impress people
46:10or wear something that is authentically
46:14genuine
46:21bite your heads with me
46:24it is up to you now
46:28to decide
46:31are you a David
46:34that God is saying
46:36sir ma'am
46:38you did your part
46:42you raised your children
46:44you took care of them
46:48you put a little bit of money away
46:51um
46:52you bought a house or whatever material
46:55things you laid the foundation of the
46:57word of God
47:00you taught them the scripture
47:03and now you realize
47:05hey
47:09everybody's going to have to die one day
47:12you had the support of people behind you
47:15whether it's your spouse
47:17children family friends
47:21your college degree that's another
47:23support
47:25it gave you the ability to apply for
47:27certain jobs
47:29David you did well
47:32but is it going to die with you
47:36now that you're transferred it over to
47:38Solomon or if you're willing to do that
47:41those of you who feel that you're
47:43Solomon the younger generation
47:45what are you going to do
47:49with what has been given to you I hope
47:53you plug into
47:54a greater power
47:57the only reason why David was able to do
47:59what he was called to do and transfer
48:02greatness over to his son was simply
48:05because
48:06[Music]
48:07he was tapped into a greater power
48:11and I hope today that's the kind of
48:13power you're going to tap into
48:16that you're going to seek God then
48:18you're going to say God give me wisdom
48:20when it comes to every decision that I
48:23make
48:24and I want to do that this morning
48:27I really want to pray more for Solomon
48:30all the Solomons that are here this
48:33morning the Solomons that are watching
48:34if you feel that
48:36something is burning in you if you just
48:39feel like God has transferred some
48:41greatness in you and honestly you've
48:44been scared and you you didn't think
48:46you're able to do it and and you feel
48:48ashamed or whatever the situation may be
48:51I want to pray for you as you're
48:53streaming
48:55and the rest of you are in the building
48:57I see a gentleman standing already if
49:00there's another person who say Pastor
49:02would you please pray for me I believe
49:05that I am the Solomon
49:07I believe I believe I believe that I am
49:10the one that God is calling he's
49:12prompting he's saying hey hey hey
49:15greatness is in you don't miss your
49:18moment Solomon don't miss your moment
49:21wherever you are standing
49:23don't miss your moment
49:25that that I'm going to from this day
49:27forward make sure I mirror what my daddy
49:30did he got the right people around him
49:33the scripture never declared that any
49:36one of them
49:37argued with David on why is he building
49:40such an extravagant building
49:45have argued with him
49:48got to be careful Solomon

50:28why are you putting all that gold in the
50:31temple for the silver the bronze the
50:34iron David that's crazy why would you do
50:38that why don't you give it all to the
