Day 3 Morning session Word 1
Topic: Every lasting empire is built on inspired ideas
Speaker: Pastor Adebisi Aboluwande
This morning, my assignment is to bring a brief Word titled: “Every lasting empire is built on inspired ideas.” A wise man said, “If you are not inspired, you will expire.” And that’s why I pray for someone this morning: you shall not expire. If you believe in that prayer, say a louder Amen.
Proverbs 8:10-21 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
Ecclesiastes 5:9: Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
From today, you shall be served. You have been serving, but from now on, you shall be served.
Every lasting empire is built on inspired ideas, witty invention, wisdom. Every empire, every movement, every organization that ever stood the test of time is built, not on money, not on power, not on people, but on ideas, on ideas, on ideas.
Let me tell you this morning, your destiny is not a common destiny.
Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
Your destiny is not a common destiny. Your destiny is not a common, ordinary destiny. You may be little, but it shall become a thousand. A small one shall become a strong nation. I decree today, the God of Liberation will release strength upon you. The strength that will make you a nation is coming upon you on this mountain.
What is an Empire?
An Empire is a large political entity composed of diverse territories controlled by a sovereign power. An Empire is a colony, people of one accord under one authority. What man looks at as an empire, God advances us as empires—men gathered together. But God has put you as one, a nation. A nation to you—you are not ordinary. You are not an ordinary entity. You are an Empire. You will become an Empire indeed, in the name of Jesus.
Inspired ideas are what shape the vision and the destiny of nations. Inspired ideas: stimulated revelation, innovations, motivations, profound insights. And this morning, upon this mountain, I pray for you that your eyes shall be open. Your understanding shall become enlightened. The nation in you, the empire in your destiny, will manifest in the name of Jesus.
What are the characteristics of an Empire? It solves mysteries .An empire solves problems. An empire creates solutions. So, if you are not creating a solution, you are causing confusion. Everywhere you are, when you appear, you are expected to bring a solution, not confusion. When you appear, you are expected to bring peace, not troubles. When you are a bearer, you are expected to create peace, not tension.
In scriptures from the Bible, we found that the patriarchs all created solutions. In the midst of famine, they brought peace. In the midst of tension, they brought respite to the people in the midst of crisis. As you depart this mountain, you will return as a solution-bearer. You will return as a solution-creator.
Father Abraham in the scriptures built ranches and became a business empire in his generation. There is no way you will have ranches that you will not become an employer of labour. He had farms and ranches. And our Bible says that he had an army that could conquer the territories of the wicked. From this mountain, you are returning as a strong army against your adversaries.
Isaac was an innovator in irrigation. In the midst of famine, in the midst of crisis, he received supernatural insights and began to create irrigation to grow crops. He brought forth so much that they began to fear him. From this mountain, those that you were afraid of will begin to fear you by the innovation and insight that you are going to exhume. You will become a creator of labour, in the name of Jesus Christ.
In his days, Job, by divine inspiration, says in Job 29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
In the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon me… my table was huge… they stood in the streets and they saluted me. He was a man of honor by divine inspiration.
Joseph, in the scriptures in Genesis chapter 41, by the insight from a dream
Genesis 41:33-36 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
was able to bring forth preservation methods to keep food for the nation of Israel and the entire world for seven years running. I pray for you today: the things that will save your generation, the things that will save your nation, the things that will save your family, will be delivered to you on this mountain in the name of Jesus.
How do I connect with these inspired ideas?
- Inspired ideas flow through revelation. And revelation comes by meditation. Inspired ideas flow through revelation, which is delivered in meditation.
Psalm 119:97 How I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
As you ponder, as you wait on the scriptures, on the word of God, inspired ideas begin to drop from the pages of scripture. Inspired ideas begin to drop from the word of God.
Meditation is sitting and reviewing the word of God, sitting down on the scriptures and reviewing over and over and over and over until light strikes.
Genesis 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
the scripture says Isaac went into the field to meditate, and he lifted up his eyes. Behold, Rebecca was coming. He went into the field to meditate, and when he lifted up his eyes, he saw the camels. You are looking for a wife, and you are looking around, looking up and meditating. If you look around you, you carry anything. But when you look up, you find the right thing. Isaac went into the field. Someone came to this AYAC today: as you look up, your spouse is dropping for you. He looked up and he saw, “Behold, the camels are coming,” and upon the camel was Rebecca. Hear me this morning: if Rebecca were not on the camel, he would bring Isaac down. The implication of picking a person who is not riding on anything is that you come to their own level. Therefore, you must look up so that the person is riding on something, and it will carry you from where you are to where you ought to be. From this mountain, you will move from where you are to where you ought to be, in the name of Jesus. Nothing will bring you down in the name of Jesus. No relationship will bring you down in the name of Jesus.
Meditation enhances the prosperity of the saints. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners… but his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. In verse 3: He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers… and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
From this AYAC 2025, whatever you do shall prosper in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Through reasoning with God.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord. You must sit down with God. Every day devotion time is not an option. It is mandatory. Devotion time is not an option. It is mandatory. It is your reasoning time with God. It is your reasoning moment with God. It is at that point that inspired ideas come to you.
In Acts chapter 6, there was trouble in the midst of the Apostles, and they reasoned together and they came to a decision: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Therefore, they appointed deacons to take care of things.
Now, if you reason, you will know that it is not your responsibility as a man to begin to go to market and buy yams and buy… if you reason! If you reason properly, you will know that it is not your responsibility to calculate the money for kerosene and for gas. If you reason! If you receive, if you reason, if you reason, you will know that God has given you a home manager in your wife to take care of everything. If you reason, if you reason?
Hallelujah! It is not reason that we should leave the word of God
Acts 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
It is not reason to leave the word and serve tables, and serve tables. And you get into the room, this place is no more. This is what we, what is your work? Major on your assignment and leave the minor for the wife. It is not reason for us to leave the word and serve tables. Stop serving tables! Live on the word. What reason under what?
The prodigal son reasoned his way back to dignity.
Come to yourself! That is why no employer has been able to keep you. They’ll keep your confidential matter. You call your friend, “You don’t know what’s happening in our office today. Hey, MD traveling. Hey, his wife is pregnant. Hey, his children. Hey.” The prodigal son returned and returned to dignity. That is why they have not kept you on the job. Every confidential matter, you tell your wife, you tell your husband. I have not spoken one more to my wife since I got to my assignment. Never. Confidence. Reason and reason and turn back to dignity. He arose and came to his father (verse 20). Somebody’s returning today! Let your amen be louder.
God renews our mind when we reason. God renews our mind when we reason with Him. He transforms our mind.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Reasonable service. That service is qualified: singing holy, dancing holy, ushering holy, acceptable.
There are so many things on your phone: Snapchat, Instagram, X, WhatsApp again, watch again, you know that? But there is no single investment app on your phone. That device is not bringing you honey; it is destroying you. That little device is to bring you honey. People sit on that and make content on TikTok, Instagram. And for three hours, you are watching somebody’s inspired ideas. When will you create your own idea? Wake up and reason! Wake up and reason! Not one investment app. Not one creation on a device. For three hours, watching other people’s creations, other people’s ideas. They are building their own empires. Your own empire shall be beautiful.
- Through asking questions on the altar of prayer. Asking questions on the altar of prayer.
Jeremiah 33:3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Call unto me on the altar of prayer.
The question is, where is your altar? You have to create your altar. We have Covenant Hour of Prayer; that is an altar. Where is your own personal altar of prayer? Call unto me… and I will answer thee, and show thee. Set a time that you talk to God, he said, and I will answer you and will show you. I will show you great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. God is eager to show us, but many are not ready to see. God is eager to show us, but many are not ready to see.
We traveled one time with my wife, and we bought some Kampala dresses. I would draw to that time. I’ve been praying, “Oh Lord, show us the business. Show us the business for my wife. Show us.” And we bought those Kampala pieces, and we wanted to give them to our house as souvenirs. And as we got to the first uncle, he said, “Oh, this is beautiful. How much do you sell it for?” And I gave her the eye communication. You better hear it. When I look at you, you know the minute. And I looked at her. She understood the minute. The price came to her head. Uncle, this is the price, and I have a few numbers. He said, “Well done, well done. You are well trained.” He said. The uncle works in a multinational company. He said, “Well, I think I will need it for the end-of-year party. Can you make a supply?” I looked more. “I have a few quantities here, but I can send you more, as much as you desire.” From that day, business opened.
He said, ask of me, I will show you. I will show you. His business is showing you your business, missing it. Somebody comes to your house and you serve them a glass of… and they drink and say, “This is good. Give me more.” You say no? Pay for it. That is, we are doing testing, testing. But doing testing of your business power. So pay for it. The next cup is not free. The first cup is free, and so if he has value for it, he will buy.
A few years ago, I was speaking in the Bible school, and I told them: they drop children in your house. Everybody goes to work, and they leave children with you. That’s a daycare. Does it take care? Somebody picked it and went back home. I said, you have three rooms, and you are using two. Put wallpapers on one, put a small TV and the videos CD, and then buy a “pass my neighbor” generator, and then start it. When they bring their child the next morning, tell them 5,000 per week. I will show you, I will show you, I will show you. And from that day, those who could not pay left; those who could pay got the services. And by the time she was sharing her testimony, she already had a secondary school from an inspired idea. I will show you. I will show you. I will show you.
There is something you are doing right now for free that is your empire. That will create an empire for you. There is something you are doing right now on this mountain that will create an empire for you. You are testing it out. You are testing it out, you’re testing it out, you’re testing it out. I will show you great and mighty things.
That was the secret of David in
1 Samuel 30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
David was greatly distressed. The people wanted to stone him. He went and inquired. He went and inquired. He went and inquired of God. And God told him what to do. How much have you asked God since you came to AYAC 2025? I like you to get a note today and list the things you are asking God. Ambiguity does not fly with God. It works with specifics. Vague greeting does not fly with God. It works with specifics. “Lord, what do you want me to do? Number one, Number two, number three.” And then, as the answers begin to drop… maybe you’re having a chat over lunch, somebody said something; it is your answer. You write it down. You’re praying, walking around, and something you’ll see something around; it drops an answer in your mind. It is your answer. Today, you will receive great things.
- Be observant. Be observant. Many are the eyes that see? Many are the eyes that look, but only few see. Many are looking, but only if you are observing, you see. Psalm 119:18: Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold. Let it be the dear Spirit’s desire of your heart to see, to see, to see.
- Act courageously. If you get the idea today, you need courage to begin. You need the courage to begin.
Habakkuk 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
Running requires courage. Many things will try to stop you, that he may run that readeth it.
- Persistence. Don’t turn around in the face of challenges. Don’t turn around in the face of troubles. When you are pursuing your ideas, don’t turn around. Don’t turn around. Don’t turn around. Keep running. Keep running, keep running. Late Bishop Benson Idahosa: “Aspire to acquire what you desire.” If you aspire, don’t retire, but refire. Aspire to acquire what you desire. They say you may pass through fire in the process. Don’t retire, but refire. But refire. Be consistent in the race, and you will deliver in the name of Jesus. I can’t hear your belief. Amen.
- Walk under a mentor. If you don’t have a mentor, you will be tormented. If you don’t have a mentor, you cannot go far. But we can. We must never trust a man who has not submitted to anyone. Every self-made man never lasts. You hear our father talk about great man Kenneth Copeland, great man Daddy G.O. Who is your mentor? If you don’t have a mentor, you will be tormented. You will be tormented, but that will not be you in the name of Jesus.
What are the Hindrances to Engaging in Inspired ideas?
- Procrastination. He that observeth the wind shall not sow (Ecclesiastes 11:4). He that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. Stop procrastinating. Whoever delays will never go anywhere. Inaction lets the opportunity slip away. Stop delaying the action. Few opportunities slide away from you. You need to propose this afternoon. You need to start your business today. You need to do something. Register the company today. Stop delaying the action, stop delaying the action, stop delaying the action, stop delaying the action. You need to make that investment. Make it today. A thousand miles begin with a step.
- Fear and doubt. God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Fear of the unknown. “Will it work?” It is better to try and fail than to fail to try. Man yourself because of fear and criticism. Too much analysis will paralyze your movements. This will lead to paralysis. Take steps from today. As He shows you, take steps. Too much fear keeps people from taking steps to build their empire.
- Lack of discipline.
Proverbs 12:24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. Who keeps sleeping over his ideas, the one who keeps waiting for ideas, will be under tribute.
- Distractions. Lack of focus. Don’t be distracted.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. Don’t despair. Be focused. That is why you must write down so that you will know when things are happening around you. This is a distraction; it’s not on the agenda. It’s not on the line. It’s not on the line. It’s not on the line. What is a 100-level student doing with a relationship? That is a distraction. It’s a destruction. Be focused, be focus, be focus. “Where did you graduate?” Wait till then. Why is he? “Where do you start work?” Be focus. That’s a distraction. Where you have one room, you can talk to somebody? Be focus. When the job comes, come and talk to me. Be focused. Don’t be distracted. Refuse to be distracted by social media. Refuse to be distracted by social media. Refuse to be distracted by social media.
- Pride. If you are too big to do small things, you will be too small to do great things. Pride.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Begin small, like our father said, and then you will end great. You understand us.
There will be a shift. You are changing levels in the name of Jesus. You are changing levels in the name of Jesus.
The future belongs to men and women who receive divine inspiration and act courageously. The future belongs to men and women. Empires are built only by men and women who receive divine inspiration.
