God give me money. But they don’t know that it is 
a prayer that is without understanding. You cannot say God give me money. God does not give money. 
But God will give you ideas. He will he will he will help you to shaping in your business. So 
God is interested in giving us ideas. And why do people work and there’s no results? We’re 
going to learn tonight because tonight is a   special night. We are looking at how to work 
smart. Working smart and working hard. Are they the same thing? So most people are working 
hard today and they are living a hard life. I have seen many people work hard and they live hard 
life. But some people that tap into supplication, they work smart and they have opportunity to 
expand. So tonight we have a lot of our guest speaker basically two major guest speaker who will 
come and share their thoughts with us about how to work smart and make impact. So tonight is not 
just going to be like every other night. I want to encourage as many people will be connected 
today to please take it as an appointment with destiny because what will not make you to get to 
the next stage of your life is how you handle your you know personal life. So if what we only desire 
is progress, then God is saying not just progress, you have to also learn how to activate the 
progress. So tonight is my greatest desire that as many of us that will be connected today both on 
the YouTube, on Facebook and all on all our social media platform, I want you to be you know hungry 
for knowledge. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is what will make you to remain on the top. So many 
people they jump up and they also jump down. You see opportunity can take you up but knowledge will 
sustain you there. So many people they have the opportunity somebody just give them $100 million 
for example and they find themselves among the billionaires both in naira and in dollars or ins 
but in a couple of you know years you find them at the lowest part of their life. Does it mean that 
he’s the devil? No. There are definitely a lot of things that he’s not doing right. So those are 
some of those things we’re going to be looking   at tonight. And I believe that it is a business 
talk. So come on board, join this right and let your testimony be enviable. Thank you so much man 
of God. What are your expectations tonight? Yeah, thank you man of God for that pastor Victor. 
You’re always on point. You know, one of the   thing that you mentioned that is very um prominent 
is that you said u um when we pray about money, God does not send money from above because 
money is not printed in in heaven. Dollars is not printed or whatever the currency that 
you are demanding for is not printed in heaven. So um somebody say something he said if you you 
always pray for money money let let them just load one room with bundle of money in any high is 
currency that you might you might love and they decide to say okay they put you in there and they 
lock the door and they lock the gates with you and the money. So he said when you stay inside that 
money inside that place with money if the money cannot be able to be able to be h it cannot do 
any transaction you cannot do any you cannot add value you cannot do anything with that money you 
you will you the money will just become useless. So likewise being smart smartness in this life is 
not maybe a matter of ah I need more definitely you will need more money you understand but one 
thing is that the key to get the money so that’s what one of the thing we’ll be talking about and 
it’s not all even all about money it’s all about adding value it’s all about being productive 
it’s all about carry out the work in a way that you become very successful, you become very 
smart. So um this evening we shall begin to look at major things about smart way of working smart 
way and I’ve discovered that no matter the work you’re doing smartness is required it is not 
all about hardworking. Somebody say something. He said when you when your brain needs to be re 
rejuvenated, it is not for you to stress the brain but for you to give the brain rest so that the 
brain can be able to rejuvenated and then carry out major work. So in this life what you should 
ask yourself is that it’s not I need more hours, I need more days. Ah the hours I have is not 
enough. Maybe you should ask yourself how can I maximize the 24 hours. The same 24 hours that is 
for the poor is also for the rich. The richest man on this earth is the 24 hours. The poorest man is 
also 24 hours. So how do you spend your 24 hours is the key. So you that is one of the thing that 
we begin to deal with this evening. Man of God, you can mute yourself. Thank you so much. 
You know, I love what you said. You see, no man can print money. If money is given to you 
in their physical currency, it does it will not make an impact in our I love that word. So, you 
know, most of the time even when you have money in your pocket, just a legendary sometime you 
don’t even know what to do with it. So money in terms of impact is value. What value are 
you creating in your immediate environment? I keep I keep telling people take me to a shallow 
ground. I will grow a tree. I will always grow a tree because what is in me is enough to produce 
a forest. So all we need to do is to identify who we are. I have been privileged to come from 
you know to to have experienced a high level of you know opportunities and after some time God 
brought me there again to start from beginning and it has taught me that it is what you have that 
cannot be taken away from you. Money can be taken away but your inner ability the moment you have a 
potential which is a business s to rise up again. When the Bible said that the righteous fall down, 
he rise again. It’s not talking about finances. It’s talking about business opportunity. You 
if you are a man that have business idea, no matter where you are falling to, you will always 
rise again. What does it mean to rise again? You restrategize. You restrategize. We are expecting 
our guests, you know, to be coming on board any moment soon. But then you must understand that 
God is a strategist. God is a businessman. God is looking for men and women who can reproduce, who 
can multiply what they have gotten. And I’ve seen many people the parable, you know, let me just 
quickly throw this parable of the the talent. A man with 10 talent was given extra 10 talent, he 
reproduced. Another person was given five talent, he reproduced. Somebody was given two talent. He 
reproduce. Someone with a single talent refuse to make or to make contribution of what he had. He 
said no. How will I be giving just one talent? What does it mean? You have opportunity 
to grow whatever that have been put in   your hands. Every time you keep praying to God, 
God bless me, God bless you, God keep blessing, but you keep coming back again. And God said this 
one is a waster. And God is never interested in people that waste either potential or business 
opportunity. I don’t want to talk too much   tonight. We have people who have been prepared 
for tonight and I believe that they are going to impact us. Mr. is here already and I believe 
that she’s prepared. She’s one of our daughters who is doing very well now and I believe that she 
will share her thoughts also on the experience she had gotten and the impact that it will produce in 
our life. God bless you, man of God. You can take over and introduce her for everyone. Okay. Thank 
you so much for for that introduction. And then we have our people in the house and this evening 
is going to be a loaded week. I mean a loaded evening and I see a turnaround working in your 
life everywhere you are struggling. It is not about how many times you’ve toy. You know somebody 
I corrected somebody sometimes ago. So the person always said ah do you know how many hours I spent 
on this work? Do you know how simply I spent I had this and that. I just told the person I said it is 
not the hours you spend. It is the result people are looking for. So people will not pay you for 
hours that you have spent on a failed job. They will only pay you for a successful job. So if 
you come out and say ah I spent three days and you did not get the answer nobody will pay for 
failure they don’t celebrate failures. So the Bible says in the book of proverbs 16:33 it say 
commit commit your actions your plans to the lord and your plan will do what will succeed in other 
word so smart work start with surrender. So when you commit your plans to go it gives you divine 
strategy. Pastor Peter was talking about that God is a strategist. So it start from you can 
be ordinary person from just be ordinary. You can begin to work smartly and then God will begin 
to give you wisdom that you become extraordinary. Being born again or being a believer the sto a a 
mediocre a mediocre in the area of your work or a low class. You should be able to deliver up to 
this standard. John C. Masswell says something. He said success is know your purpose in life and 
growing to your maximum potential. So people of God by the grace of God today we shall begin 
to dive in into that arena of how you can be able to turn. If your 24 hours you will look 
at it at the end of every single each day and say yes I’m getting to my purpose because that 
is the heart of impact. It is not all about you um praying for the job. You should also be able 
to pray that Lord if it is Jesus Christ that will be working in this company how would Jesus 
Christ turn around this company. So that is the things we are talking about today because every 
kingdom profession professionals is a light in the marketplace in your marketplace in media or 
in the economy or whatever in the art and media or whatever marketplace you might find yourself 
you are a representative just count it that I am a worship is my lifestyle let people see that oh 
we now have Jesus in our boats. We have God in our boat that with you everything will begin to 
work right. So we have our guest, our wonderful people in the house today. um two continent I 
mean three okay two continent combines together today Europe and Africa and by the grace of God 
we have um from all the way from United Kingdom uh uch is in the house and then also from Nigeria 
uh we call him Mr. exponent. So these two people, you know, the last time that we we hosted them, 
the both of them also came together. I don’t know   how grace always mash them together. Hallelujah. 
So um let’s hear from them just for one minute what they will need to say or to greet us. So you 
can mute yourself. Sister give us a one 30 seconds opening charge. Okay. Um, good evening, good 
afternoon, and is it good morning from whatever part of the world that you’re in. It’s nice to 
be here again. And I must say, Samuel, it’s good to have you on again. You’re a sharpener. So, I’m 
glad you’re here. Is that And to everyone I trust and believe God to give us not just listening ears 
but our hearts to be able to um or let me say an enabling grace to be able to carry out all that 
we’ll be learning tonight in Jesus name. Amen. Yeah. Thank you for that. Um Samuel, good evening 
everyone. Can we all hear me loud and clear? Uh good evening everyone. Um it’s a privilege 
once again to be in our midst. Um and then for pairing me again to sister is another privilege. 
I hope that the time that we spent together today will be very very impactful and um it will 
give or it will have a lasting impact in the lives of people that are listening to us. 
Amen. That’s just what I want to say for now. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, just like you said, we don’t need to 
waste time again. Let’s just welcome sister to take the floor. God bless you. Okay. Thank 
you very much once again for the privilege. Um the topic is so voluminous. He almost feels 
like he’s a is he’s is made for lecture. I also know I’m still in that boat. Um we’ve been 
told that we keep learning. No matter um how well you are at what you do, you can’t stop learning. 
I mean we used to hear it years ago that the day you start you stop learning, you start dying. And 
I mean it’s true. We have to keep learning. But I like to take this scripture um Proverbs um chapter 
16 verse3 and that’s going to be the foundation scripture I’ll be using for whatever it is I’ll 
be discussing tonight. Um and I’m reading the good news translation. I love good news just of 
translating things to modern day English that you   can understand, digest and be able to meditate on. 
It says ask the Lord to bless your plans and you will be successful in carrying them out. Yeah. So 
while we are yet to start, Pastor Peter, you did say that onto some he gave five talent, to some he 
gave um two and for as many that had that talent, you were able to remip. But you see whatever it 
is you want to do in life and you do not put in God’s hand because I see that the modern day 
success is tied to titles is tied to monetary values sometimes to yeah it could be success 
but a true success is the one embedded in God and sincerely it is God that can double quadruple 
whatever hustle that you’re doing and no matter how how many wings you have to fly it is God 
that gives you the enabling grace to be able to um carry it out. And permit me to say that when 
it comes to success um for me, I don’t think the starting point of success is the work. It’s 
actually the sustainers of the success because in the kingdom of God, the path of the righteous 
shines brighter and brighter to the perfect day.   So stagnancy is not an excuse. Okay. So looking 
at the topic, I like us to actually look at what smart work is. What I have here says smart work 
is all about maximizing efficiency. Meaning you have to be efficient in something and you should 
be able to maximize that efficiency. So if you were 100% last year, you’re supposed to be a,000 
or 1% if there is anything like that this year. So smart work involves maximizing efficiency, 
leveraging technology, effectiveness, prioritizing task and focusing on high impact outcomes rather 
than merely increasing efforts. So if you ask me, I would say smart work is the opposite of hard 
work, which is a focus on output quality and not quantity. That’s not what smart work is. Smart 
work is there’s an output in what you do. There’s quality in what you do. And of course, the volume 
is high. And yet you don’t have to kill yourself into it. We are no longer in the day where we 
have to till the ground will be farmers the way   they do it in the days. Now we have a whole lot 
to make our work easy. So to work smart you must understand what smart work is. So understand that 
it it involves efficiency at a maximum level. It involves you being very effective. It involves you 
leveraging on technology. We all say that where technology is taking us. I mean look at us today. 
About 20 30 years ago we would rather meet at a camp meeting and then have a physical meeting. But 
today we’re using technology to pass across what we would have done 30 years ago. So you also have 
to prioritize your task and focus on high impact outcome. And this is one strategy would have seen 
that Jesus actually did. Whatever he did had a high impact. Even that the ones we thought he 
wasn’t prepared for. For instance, the wedding he was the other day and um they were they were short 
of wine and Mary came to him. He said woman it is not my time. But because he has mastered the art 
of um maximizing efficiency by the time water was turned into wine he became the best. So meaning 
like what they say in theater you are the beh your your yesterday is the best of who you are. If 
you must do something new, you must do something beyond what you did yesterday. And I’m also 
talking myself on this table. So if you understand   that, I’d like to share what the benefit of smart 
work is. We all know that when you work smart, it increases productivity and of course it gives you 
some kind of work satisfaction. You find out that you for some people is more of mental work that 
you have done than a physical work where you have to exhaust your physical energy. But whatever it 
is you do when you work smart it has some level of um increased productivity and of course it gives 
you work satisfaction. It gives you a better   work life balance and it creates um a greater 
innovation you know gives you creativity in problem solving and of course there’s an high 
impact on your well-being. So if you see that working smart gives you this why would you not 
want to work smart? Why would you want to go the   other way? me to work smart is good and I’ll give 
an example of this when I speak about the prior prioritizing your um um high inter um prioritizing 
high impact task I mean to say now I’ve seen that when you work smart in ways where you feel you 
are you are result oriented you’ll find out that is that the timing you spend in planning is more 
than the timing you use in executing but at the same time you find out that you are not only going 
to meet up timing if it if it’s a project that has   a time you also find out that um you would have 
delivered an excellent job. Now when we talk about working smart and we want to look at the benefits 
of it and say the benefit of it what are the   strategies to use I say number one is prioritize 
high impact task. How do you do that? Number one, focus daily on task that you can achieve like like 
do daily effort on a particular task. Even if it’s a long-term goal, make sure there’s a focus on 
uh on I call it a mini task that can achieve that long-term goal. I’ll use building of a house 
for instance. You want to build a house. You   know the cost of the house. You don’t have what 
it takes to build it now. Okay. What do we do? Let’s draw up a plan. You drop a plan. Okay. If I 
want to have, for instance, a high-rise building and I need to build this, it’s going to take me 
how many years. If I must achieve it, I might   not have the financial empowerment, but what can 
my money do now? Okay, maybe lay the foundation after I’ve gotten the land. And then you focus on 
that. Develop that foundation. Once it’s solid, go back again and recoup, return again, and keep 
building and keep building and keep building. One thing you should know about working smart 
is it’s not just the end result that it gives   you but the process it takes you through gives you 
a wellbalanced life. That’s what it does. Two is very good for your cognitive skill. When you work 
smart you find out everything about your brain   is booming. And we all know that when you are 
mentally okay I mean your physical health is fine. So if you if you prioritize high impact task, it 
makes your vision clearer. It makes it achievable. It makes it conquerable. You are not tired. You 
don’t get you don’t get tired in the middle of it.   You find yourself achieving it. And I’m going to 
give an example here. When my husband and I were going to launch out to start up a film production, 
he felt like was there a need for it? Oh, okay. What do you think you’re going? We looked at 
each other’s dreams. Okay, let’s bring this force   together and we started to start up and gradually 
we knew what the plan was. We knew what what wanted to roll out yearly but then we started with 
one per year and then he moved on and then before we knew it we were running more than what we had 
thought. Remember with God involved I did say that whatever it is you want to carry out make sure 
that God is your basis and then you’ll find things   working out for you. The second way I would say 
that or what I would say the second benefit for excuse me the second benefit of for working smart 
is uh what I’ll call strategies for implementing uh smart work I mean if you want your work done 
smartly there are strategies you must be able to implement to carry it out and number one what I 
have here is embrace technology I’m on this table some people Gen Z, Millennia, whatever it is, I 
don’t know what it is. All I know is when I have a particular project I want to do, I try to um uh 
recruit minds that can drive that vision. So now if you are saying you want to embrace technology, 
it doesn’t have to be you. Although I I work with a motto know something about everything. the 
fact that I’m bringing out this project. I   might not be the engineer but that does not mean 
I will not have an eye but I have I won’t have a knowledge of one or two things that should be 
done. So I tell people embrace uh technology in a way that is either you get a person to do it 
to do that part for you or you get techy yourself but be sure to know something about everything 
involving your business your work your field of career or whatever project it is you are handling 
because one thing I’ve realized about knowledge it is no waste no matter how silly your trivia 
it is you find out that later in life you would eventually need it so in the process of carrying 
out a project and trying to work smart. Remember that you should embrace technology? And I’ve had 
some people tell me, is is technology like the way of God? And I’m quick to remind them of what 
Luke 12:48 said. He said, “To whom much is given, much will be required?” And for me, this Bible 
calls us to be mindful steward of our calling and the resources and opportunities we have been given 
for its fulfillment. So why wouldn’t you want to use technology? After all everything good, every 
good blessings comes from God above. I mean it is God who created all things and given us the power 
to procreate us human. So whatever it is you know you’ve been needing to drive a particular mission 
there’s nothing bad in using it and technology is one of the resources to swear on. In fact, today 
a lot of ministries have thrived on using modern day technology and we ourselves can can testify to 
that technology has done one one good or the other to us if not more than we have intended. Another 
point is cultivating a growth mindset. Some of us are so stuck to our past achievement or stuck to a 
particular style. But see, we are in a world where things are evolving. Even God himself does not 
use a method. He uses different method. The way he called Abraham was not the way he called Moses. It 
was not the way he called Joshua. It was not the way he called David. And they never contradicted 
themselves. These are generations that never met,   never saw, but they never contradicted themselves. 
So one has to cultivate a growth mindset. And that’s why I love the ministry of the Holy 
Spirit. He will teach you and show you with reckless abandon. He will not hide anything. And 
how do you cultivate this? We still go back to the scripture that says in Joshua 18, we should what? 
Study. Now for some of us, we just think it’s the Bible. He said this book of the law. What are 
the laws? What are the policies governing what you’re doing? Study. Foster resilience. View 
challenges and failures as opportunity to grow. Do not just say ah I think it’s no I have seen 
opportunities are are hidden more in challenges and hiccups when you’re driving a force every 
time there’s a hiccup every time there’s a meltdown there is an opportunity there is is a 
platform to sw is a platform to grow it is not a time to retrieve no and that’s why once you’ve 
committed your plan into God’s hand and you’re sure he’s backing you. Of course, we know the road 
won’t be easy, but you know, you’re going to go   through it. And so, no matter what the hiccups or 
challenge you meet on the way, it’s just a bump on the way to take you to higher level because in the 
process of trying to cultivate a growth mindset, there’s always a mind shift. You find out that 
oh, you’ve actually been um you’ve actually had a barrier in a particular mindset might have stopped 
you from growing further than what you should have   grown. And so, embrace it and just make sure 
that you keep growing. and grooming yourself. And so for that part of the scripture where the 
Lord said to Joshua, this book of the Lord show   not the part he said study day and night that is 
you have to be resilience. Understand the market where you are playing in be so resilience until 
you get result. You will not back down until you know okay this part has been fulfilled and once 
it’s fulfilled okay then I can back down. Again, another scripture that encourages me when it comes 
to um growing um cultivating a a growth mindset is the one in Proverbs 9:8, and I like the way 
the Good News translation said it. He said,   “Do yourself a favor and learn all you can. Then 
remember what you learn and you will prosper.” You know what means to do yourself a favor and learn 
all you can. How do you learn? You’ve got mentors, coaches, colleagues, like minds. Just put 
yourself into it and learn. I love the way the disciples did it with Jesus. Left abandoned that 
profession they call fishery. I mean they have achieved all they were solid in that profession. 
It was time for higher call and because they had   given Jesus must have seen how much they have 
given to that profession their dedication and then you took them over to become fishes of men. 
Now they used that same um mindset to walk with Jesus and eventually became the renowned people we 
know today, those we’re learning from. So if you ask me as Christians, resilience is part of it. 
People say um resilience is part of it. The only thing we can ask is for grace to be able to pull 
through because it’s part of life. I mean when we were growing up as kids, we had the time where we 
had to te it wasn’t easy to eat. Most of us are   parents and we know what it is like when our child 
are teing. I mean our children are teaching. You find out that it’s is an inconvenience state but 
is needed for growth. So in cultivating a growth mindset welcome all the challenges you can make 
sure you tackle them study it and be sure that the next time it brings a space you already have 
a knowledge or you already have what it takes   to combat it. Now another one is what I call the 
smart goals where you want to make a smart move. And that smart I mean is is an abbreviation. It 
means your goals must be specific. Your goals must be measurable. Your goals must be achievable. 
Your goals must be relevant. And of course it must be time bound to maintain clarity and 
direction. Remember that with God whatever it is we do I tell people whatever you do that 
is only selfish to you is not God because God   will always give you things for the benefit of 
humanity. And that is why relevance is important in whatever you do. It must not be selfish in 
any way. Whatever has been placed in your hands, be it a career, be it work or project, it has 
to be relevant. So if you follow these goals, I can say pastor, I’m running out of time, right? 
So I’ll just quickly wrap up into what I have. So when you follow the smart goals, like I said, 
be specific. Um let it be measurable. Let your   goals be achievable. Don’t just create goals. Some 
of us are dreamers. We just create goals and it becomes so difficult to achieve. Please make sure 
those goals are achievable. They are relevant and   of course they are time bound. In all this, it 
helps you to maintain clarity and direction. And um okay, I will not be able to give some more. 
But when it comes to um also um having a smart growth or working smartly, one thing I tell 
people you cannot shy away from is building   impactful relationships. Some of us do not have 
what it takes to manage good relationships. Some of you have lost good relationships because of 
selfish purpose or because you are blinded by   needs or by fleshly desires. Impact relationships 
are very essential at this stage in life. Not just relationships you feel I mean you don’t 
just keep relationship because you want to   keep them anymore. You keep them because they 
have to be deliberate like Daniel did with his own company. Every time he was faced with a 
challenge the Bible said he went back to his   company and trust me it was always his result. 
You need impactful relationships that can help you help you grow and in return you should be able 
to grow also help them become better meaning it has to be vice versa you shouldn’t just be taking 
away from the relationship you should be able to   um give as well and so I tell people you should be 
deliberate deliberate about your relationship and the reason you have to deliberate is because you 
need it for networking I mean if you must achieve purpose in life. You need to be deliberate 
with your relationships and it will help your networking. Now, if you focus on building genuine 
relationships rather than superficial connections, you’ll find out that you’ll be engaged in a whole 
lot of things. Let’s look look at look at Joseph in the Bible. I’m trying to rush it now so I can 
I won’t um exceed my time limit. If we look at um Joseph in the Bible, I mean, yeah, he went through 
all he did, but while he was in the prison, Joseph was deliberate with his relationship. Imagine 
him interpreting a dream with someone and he   was wise enough to tell the person, “Remember 
me?” Of course, the first didn’t remember, but eventually he was remembered because how many 
people were in the prison? Why was it just I mean   there would have been a lot of people would 
have been one or two blessings to those people, but Joseph was deliberate. So please in choosing 
relationship it is no longer because it doesn’t have to be for superficial reasons anymore. It 
has to be relationships that can drive you to   that goal where God wants you to be and of course 
it will help you um um grow. I remember my days in the media. I mean I still have a whole lot of 
them when I do media buying and media placement   here because of the relationship I built over the 
years. All I just have to do is phone conversation and whatever it is I want to put in the is there. 
So if you are the type that you burn your bridges as you climb in life, it becomes difficult 
to sustain or maximize this high impact um smart work we’re talking about. And then lastly, 
please have a collaborative mindset. Please do not go into a project or into an assignment with 
the mind of me myself and I. It won’t work. Even Jesus had to carry 12 along. We only had record 
of 12. There were more than 12. And eventually   the 12 understood. So please a collaborative 
mindset have a way of enhancing and helping you foster this dream helping you achieving this 
dream. So wherever you need partnership please   do like we said earlier if you need techie tech 
techy people to help you drive something recruit them for whatever it is you want to do it’s part 
of working smart so that when they helping you   out with a particular um part of your um project 
you can focus on where your strength are. I know a lot of us know the SWAT analysis, the strength, 
weakness, opportunity and threat. If you recruit   people from this angle, they help you to be able 
to go through this and I mean you have a robust work at the end of the day. So at this stage of 
life, you don’t have to sweat or threat. I mean we’ve been groomed in a certain way that you know 
where your strengths are, where your weaknesses   are. Don’t be shy away to bring in people to help 
you in your area of threats or weaknesses because you know that expertise will give you the result 
of what you want. And please in all this whatever it is you do make sure there’s a continuous review 
of what you have done what you did well and what you didn’t do well review and then when you see 
where you didn’t do well pick one or two things   and at least um you know make yourself just keep 
growing in all this to work smart is you have to open your mind to growth and this growth has 
to do with having um the right relationships. It has to do with recruiting the right people 
around you to help you achieve those goals.   It has to do with you using the smart goals 
um tool. It has to do with you prioritizing um um your your or having a high impact tax 
where you can prioritize little plans and um above all put it in the hands of God and move 
in the Holy Spirit. You’ll be shocked that what you’ll achieve it will be beyond what your mind 
had painted. Hallelujah. Thank you so much. Wow. That’s a good recap and then those points they 
are so solid. Please people of God and everyone listen to us you can still watch all this thing 
on YouTube and for those people who are joining on YouTube people are joining from YouTube from every 
part of the world and I see comment going on on the YouTube so um it’s a blessing. So let’s allow 
our Mr. exponent now to give us his own point in the next 15 minutes. Stay don’t go away. We have 
some powerful um interaction and their question to be able to ask. If you have not join us on 
the YouTube, go there, subscribe, join, watch and also be part of the community. God bless you. 
Amen. All right. Good evening once again everyone. So I’ll be I’ll be speaking on um marketplace 
influence and the principle of smart work. Sister has done a lot by breaking down how smart 
work is what smart work but then I’ll be focusing on how you can relate that to the marketplace. 
How to turn your hard work to lasting impact. H first of all let me just establish this 
that a lot of people have bastardized the idea of hard work. A lot of people have seen hard 
work as a way of escaping hard life. That may be an obsolate idea. I’m sorry to bust your brain 
but we are in a in a in a we in a dispensation where there is need to work not just hard. Of 
course, hard work is biblical, but you need to add to your hard work, smart work. Now, what do I 
mean? For instance, in the marketplace, you know, the marketplace is not just a place where you 
do buying and selling, where all of that goes around. The marketplace is also a place, it’s 
a sphere of influence essentially. It is where people transact. The office is a marketplace. 
The entertainment industry is a marketplace. And of course the industries any industry 
where people where there is influence where there is transaction is a marketplace. 
Now how do you bring about impact in this um environment? Now the question is how do you 
turn hard work into lasting impact? The kind that will influence the marketplace. The kind that 
will glorify God and transform lives. Now we’ll be looking at the principle of smartphone. We’ll 
be talking about the um the the S, the M, the A, the R, and of course the T. Now, I’ve been able to 
break it. You know, in Matthew 5 uh Matthew 5:14, the Bible said, “Let your light so shine in the 
world.” Said, “You are a city that is set on a hill and you cannot be hidden.” He said, “Let your 
light shine before men that they may see the your good works and glorify your father in heaven.” 
That good works of yours is the impact we’re talking about here. Now let’s move from hard work 
to smart life. Proverbs 22:29 he said, “Do you see a man that is diligent in his business? He will 
stand before kings and not mean men.” Now the idea of moving from hard work to smart work, moving for 
hard work to impact is where smart work comes in. Now because of time I want to delve into the the 
smart work idea the smart work principle. Now the number one there is the S. Now if you’re going 
to work smart you have to be strategic in your work. A lot of people work with a lot of energy 
but not strategic. And you realize that too much energy sometimes can lead to paralysis when you 
are doing something without vision and purpose. When you are doing something without vision 
and purpose, everything becomes a burden. Life becomes unbearable essentially. Now vision here 
is the what? Your ability to have foresight. Your ability to what? To be able to see what others 
cannot see. To be able to spot opportunities where people see problems. And then purpose there 
is your ability to do things with meaning. See hard work without direction will definitely lead 
to frustration. You cannot be busy and you are not productive. But you can be busy and still be 
barren. Being barren there is being unproductive. You know you need to ask yourself some of these 
questions when it comes to your business and   career. And number one of them of those question 
is what has God called me to do here? If you can if you can if you can answer this question then 
you have you have succeeded in fulfilling purpose in one side because a lot of people we do things 
with purposelessness and you realize that you’re not getting results I remember when I wanted to 
start my business I had worked in the corporate space I’ve worked in NOS’s I’ve worked in schools 
I’ve worked with you know I’ve worked in quite a a number of places in the aviation I’ve done for 
And I saw that I I I could give my all but I was just like a conduit that is directing people to 
their own purpose while me I am just standed in one spot. So at some point I called myself I said 
what am I doing? I realized that I have so much to give but there is no sense of fulfillment because 
I have not been able to discover that inner part   of me. Then I sat inward and I realized that there 
is something that God has called you to do. That was how I started my entrepreneurship journey. 
Another thing is you need to ask yourself who are you serving. See you are not in for everybody. 
That’s what some people do in business. You want to serve everybody. I started out as a jack of all 
trades. People that know me know me dead then. I do everything and it leads to burnout. You know 
I do this, I do that until I I just sat down. I draw up a business plan for myself. What do I want 
to do? It’s okay. Like you can know so many things about some things. You can know some things about 
so many things. But there is some things you know you need to master. There are some things you need 
to do that this is your area of specialization. You need to know that this is where you can be 
able to serve your own audience. Trying to serve   everybody. Trying to do everything for people 
will just make you frustrated and it will make you you will you will lose energy in the long run. 
Another question you need to ask yourself is what problem are you here to solve? Until you answer 
the question what is the problem? You cannot see solutions. See entrepreneurs are not just 
economic drivers alone. They are also people that profer solutions to every problems. In the process 
they are creating impact. They are adding to the productivity of the economy. Am I communicating 
now? Now you need to ask yourself what problems   are you solving? If you want to have an enterprise 
your business, what problem is your business going to solve? It goes beyond profit making right now. 
You need to ask yourself what problem are you are you are you here to solve? Who are you to serve? 
Who are your audience? That’s where you need   to draw up your um your market segmentation. You 
need to know the people you are serving, you know, and all of this is in strategy. If you check the 
life of Joseph, you realize that even though he was just a dreamer, he was also very strategic. 
When he was given f, you know, interpretations of his dream, he didn’t just interpret the dreams. He 
also gave them a plans for the future that okay, this and this will happen this so and in 
the next and this will also happen. That’s   strategy. He was able to use that to turn his 
own dreams to reality. Now, because of time, let’s go to the next one, which is M. I call 
it be measurable. You know, we’re talking about smart work here and how we can use it for impact. 
Now, you must be measurable. What do I mean by being measurable? You need to track progress and 
results. In business, there’s what they call KPIs. It’s called key performance indicators. Like what 
are those things that is giving you result? That is where you should exert your energy. You don’t 
just do things with purposelessness. A lot of   people are frustrated today. A lot of people burn 
out today. A lot of people committed suicide today because they do things with purposelessness. 
And where there is purposelessness, there is cluelessness. Where there is cluelessness, 
there is hopelessness. That is where people   give up easily. I remember postco a lot of people 
could not strategize. Especially a lot of a lot of a lot of pastors, they were too traditional with 
their approach in doing business. Because of that they have to shut down for people that embrace 
trend for people that embrace technology like sister rightly said so you must measure you cannot 
grow if you don’t measure you cannot know if you are progressing if there’s no measurement if you 
cannot track your own progress even god himself   when he was working he counted days in creation 
the first day he created the day the sixth day he created man he numbered the years in our in the 
strand of earth in our head. He even measure our stewardship. If you check Luke 16:10, he said, 
“He who is faithful with little will be faithful in much.” So there must be some measurement. There 
must be a level of measuring metrics in whatever you are doing. And then in the marketplace, 
you need to ask yourself what result are you   producing? You cannot be working without results, 
without nothing to show for it. Some people have been in the workplace for years. Nothing to show 
for it. I remember when a customer was talking to me in the office some years ago. I think last 
year. Yeah, last year. So, she was telling me that Mr. Sam, I don’t even know. I’ve been working this 
year. Nothing to show for it because there is no   measurability. You’re just working. You cannot you 
cannot put in figures. I remember in our office in those if you are doing your presentation 
in front of the board especially doing our   management meeting if you like just be talking 
the ED will just ask you what are the figures what’s the numbers I need the numbers is after 
the numbers and that’s measurements so how do   you measure growth spiritually how do you measure 
your growth professionally how do you measure your growth financially you need to know the outcome 
of your hard work and then another thing is you must embrace excellence I don’t know if talked 
about this but excellent is not about activity alone. It’s about results that glorifies God. Is 
doing things above average. One thing I love about my work is I love to do things excellently. If I 
want to go into something, I’ll go for trainings. There’s no year I don’t get certificated at least 
in three places in three different this. So far I’m doing this thing. I want to see what other 
people are doing. I enroll in trainings because   I just want to be excellent in what I’m doing 
even if I don’t know everything. I want to do that thing excellently and it will impact on your 
work. Now for instance now most times when I take jobs to because I’m also a printer too. I I do 
branding and I print when I take jobs to press and you know these local printers that help you manage 
our work they try to tell you Mr. Sam use this you know use this material use this use that I tell 
them no I can’t use this material you want to spoil my work you want me to do something I cannot 
show the next client that I did this especially something I’m putting my end point on so they see 
me as ah if Mr. time comes he will he will see error now it’s not about about being negative 
here it’s about excellence being excellent in what you are doing now the third one because of 
time is being accountable and then there is two   things here there is two words that I coined there 
accountability and alignment now accountability will keep you grounded and alignment will keep 
you guided you get that accountability will keep you grounded alignment will keep you guided. 
See, every successful person, business persons, whether you’re a Christian or not, must be 
accountable. You must be accountable. You must have bookkeeping. Some people don’t even 
have bookkeeping. They cannot see. This is what   I’ve done over time. This is how much I’ve spent. 
I remember those years. I have my accounting book, expenditure book, um what do they call it 
now? Income book. So at the end of the month, I I check the where is my profit margin here. 
So I know whether I’m making profit or not. That’s accountability. It keeps me grounded. 
It keeps me okay, I need to put in more energy   here. This is what I’ve been doing that is giving 
me more results. I focus more on it. Now if you check the scriptures, you realize that Moses, 
all of these guys, they have accountability   partners. Moses had right. Esther had this 
person Modiah. Even Paul mentored Timothy. Now that’s accountability. Proverbs 11:14 said in 
the multitude of what counsel there is safety. You cannot just be doing things by trial and error. 
If you keep doing things with trial and error, you will one day commit fatal error and you know 
it’s just like when somebody is when somebody is running in the in the wrong direction, you would 
have gone far. you would have you will just get lost because you are not you are not on the 
right track. So alignment means ensuring your work align with God’s will. Right? We said man 
purpose, God’s dispose. So alignment helps you align with God’s purpose for your life or God’s 
intention and not just your human ambitions. So you ask yourself is this project or what this 
business that you’re doing is it consistent   with my values you know we need to also come down 
to our Christianity here. A lot of people because of desperation have done things that is out of 
place that is out of values. That’s why you see a lot of people doing fraudulent things. I see 
a lot of people say in these days and age that   if you want to be rich or if you want to be very 
powerful you need to be you need to cut corners. And I’m like ah why will you cut corners? But if 
you engage the principle of honesty, hard work, I mean all of these principles, you will definitely 
succeed. What happens is most people don’t follow principles. They don’t follow patterns. They don’t 
follow precepts. What is principles? Principles are universal. Um principles are universal. But 
you are following experiences of other people. Experiences are peculiar but principles are what? 
They are universal. There are things that can work for A and B and possess but what what is peculiar 
may work for A it may not work for B you get now a shoe is a principle if you are wearing a shoe it 
is a shoe in UK where it is also a shoe in Benj in China because it’s a principle it is constant 
but peculiarity veins there is variation in peculiarity so you don’t base your life working on 
peculiar things. You follow principles, universal principles of of business ethics, productivity, 
um honesty, reliability, fairness, all of those things. So accountability will refine you while 
alignment will define you. Right? Of time, let’s go to the next one. You have to be resourceful 
and relevant. Now resourcefulness is essential if you want to make impact. The the marketplace 
right rewards those who solve real problems with creativity not just people that do engaging 
activities alone. You have to be resourceful. Resourcefulness is what is your ability to make 
work easy right? engaging all your skills and resources even in the face of limited resources. 
Let me let me put it this way. Resourcefulness is making things work even when resources are 
limited. Right? Now, a man that is resourceful, we know that sometimes you don’t need financial 
capital to start up an enterprise. First of all, there is people capital. There is um there is um 
there there is people capital there is also the capital of what you can do that’s your skill your 
skill here is now relevant is your resourcefulness that is what will now drive you and that’s what 
makes you relevant if you check Ecclesiastes 10 I love to read in NLT version he said using a dull 
axe require great strength sharpen your blade you need to work M that values of wisdom when you 
are using dull ass you need to sharpen your grace your blade otherwise you’ll keep walking so 
when you sharpen your blade first of all it helps you to succeed faster right so check the life of 
David even when David wanted to kill golad don’t think he just say you this uncircumcised I will 
defeat no he it was strategic and even when he got there while they were attacking ing words to each 
other. He was strategically positioned to throw that stone in the face of limited resources. You 
remember he was not wearing the chariot or those this thing but he had the resources and because 
he was resourceful he had skills he had done it before the experience was there he was able 
to target heads what if he had golat eggs he’s done but because he he had strategized so he was 
able to see this problem is an opportunity for me to prove myself and he did so if we look 
at our Nigerian economy. Now we realize that um you know we will not always have capital like 
as it were all we need sister mentioned this we need creativity right why we need relationships 
we need ideas and we need faith what is faith faith is what believing before you see right 
faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen it is you bringing 
divinity into your human activities and then you need to leverage relationship. So she talks about 
relationship. That is your network. Your network plus your smart work determines not just what 
will work but what works right your relationships. Creativity if you don’t engage your creativity 
a lot of us we disturb God for so many I don’t want to go there you don’t engage your faculty 
you just you know you don’t think so. So we need to start thinking we need to be innovative. We 
need to pursue excellence. We need to because you cannot be the salt of the head without something 
to segregate you. Right now being a salt or being the light mean there is something that segregate 
you. It is called in biology they call it the law of segregation of you know what separates you. 
Excellence is a separator. Innovation will spark things. It will spark excellence. Now the last 
one lot of time you need to be time conscious and of course you need to be transformational 
in everything you do. Now let let me break it   down. Time is the currency of destiny. I can 
talk on time for hours. Time is a constant. What is time? Time is that thing that commodity 
that God gave man. Everyone have time. The rich the poor has the same time. The the white man 
has the same time. Africans have the same time. The everybody has the same time. It is how you use 
it. It is in the judicious use of your time that you become productive. But a lot of people waste 
their time on frivolities. A lot of people waste their time on nonsensicals. A lot of people waste 
their time on things that does not guarantee um impact. See, every great man of impact from Daniel 
in the Bible to Deborah, they knew how to design divine timing for everything they do. Even David, 
it was the divine timing. He was the one that said, “I want to kill this guy.” That was divine 
timing. Opportunity cost. You know, Ephesians 5:16 said, “Redeeming the time because the days are 
evil.” You must redeem the time. essentially, you must redeem the time. I remember when I when 
I became a facilitator with Google that time where we were training for digital skills for Africa. 
How did I became a facilitator? I went for their   training. They taught us strategy 101. We were 
at Molina to on on the island for like one week straight up. But you know what I when they for the 
first day they told us they going to recruit one of us some of us as one of their facilitators on 
that day. I said this an opportunity for me. So what did I do? I was actively engaged in classroom 
activities. I will be the head of the project to the point that they know that s in fact manager 
said it’s like you are a teacher you I just do school out many years ago you know so it’s there 
already the residence was there it was just time that I did so I eventually was enlisted as some 
of their facilitators and that experience you know changed the way I do my stuff I remember I went 
to landmark university to train them I went to skill academy. I went to this place um mutual 
benefit. I was just going to train on digital 101 and strategy that data skills fundamentals 
of digital marketing that year. You know that thing took me around. So what am I saying? Time 
is very very important. You must know when to apply things when the time comes. And another 
thing is you must be time conscious. Africans we are we are bad with time right? an event is 
6, you see them strolling in by 8:00 p.m. That is to tell you how underdeveloped we can be. 
So you must value time. You must you must be transformational in your thinking too. So don’t 
just be busy. Be fruitful. Don’t be a busy body. Be fruitful. You must know how to turn your daily 
effort into something that will outlive you. That is impact. If you want to be an entrepreneur, you 
must know that you are not just taking risk. You are doing it for impact. You are you are building 
an enterprise one. You are profiling sol profiling solutions to problems. At the same time, you 
are making money, right? And you are also making impact. That is what we call entrepreneurship. 
You know, if you look at the life of Jesus, you understand that he’s so strategic. My time 
is up. Jesus was so strategic. He only work for 3 years. Three and a half years. Yes. His impact 
is tomorrow in year 3,000. They will still be talking about Jesus. My God. Some of you are some 
of us have read we we’ve lived for a decade. We’ve lived for centuries. And just like he just died 
and nobody knew about they said the wisdom of Solomon is not a function of Methuselah. But there 
is something about smartness being working smart you know being strategic and all of that you know 
so the go the goal is to be the light be the salt be the influence in your environment and that way 
you are able to impact your generation let me stop continue don’t continue again that was 
powerful you know every time the two of come out to to be a blessing is always resourceful 
especially when we have sister and Mr. exponent I am always you know this is one of the benefit 
of our squad you can’t be facing millions of people or hundreds of thousands of people on a 
weekly basis and you be timing not possible and notible you know just like you said when you 
don’t keep to time or when you don’t keep to your time you will you will time out just you 
will just time out what does what do I mean to time out you will face out you know there was A 
time I was walking in the place I noticed they were wasting my time. I deliberately resigned by 
myself and you know because I have strategically planned my way you know when I was praying the 
Holy Spirit told me you don’t need to call any man for help I will sustain you not just sustain 
you by what you have I will help you to you know increase it just like the Holy Spirit Jesus 
Christ said I will send you the comforter who   will bring to your memory what you have known 
so the Holy Spirit will not bring no jaggers to You you must have a plan. Your plan is what God 
will ride upon to take us to the next level of life. I’m so excited for this teaching. This 
is what people pay hundreds of thousands to to to get they go to know for to seminaries. I have 
attended several business meeting paying. In fact, there are a lot of certification I’ve gotten that 
I pay in dollars to get my certification. After learning, I have to now buy my certificate in 
dollars. The minimum I used to to pay to get those certificates. Some will be free class, but you pay 
like $40 to get the certificates, you know. So, life is all about you be intentional. Nobody get 
to the top by just praying to the top. You must be intentional. As we are depending on God, God 
is also depending on us to raise our business. At this at a time in your life, you must also 
learn to start imparting some generation. People should learn to earn from you. People should start 
earning from you. You should have a business that can feed people. You should have a system in place 
that other families are depending on it for their livelihood. Not don’t be the taker generations. 
Every time you are taking from people, set up an institution that can be feeding people from that 
resource. You see, there are a lot of people in my community that I live. They keep coming for 
help. So, we keep creating employment for all of them. There’s a particular woman, her job is just 
to come and clean the house. They get paid. Every weekend she come to to domestic work. she get 
paid because every time I see she keep coming coming to get to get she don’t do anything it’s 
not that she’s handicap okay let’s give you a job oh yeah this is your work oh yeah another person 
also this okay let’s give you a job you just come and be a transportation job come and be carrying 
my children oh yeah to school you empower people how do you do it by being smart in what you are 
doing so that give them a sense of responsibility a sense of so that means that man knows that 
families also depend on him. So when we say working smart it also means that you are making 
people to be responsible. You are answerable to the level you are today. Most of what you are 
going through is not the devil. The devil is not ominous. He doesn’t know everything. God is the 
only omnipresent. So the devil cannot know what is in your mind. The Bible say only the spirit 
of the Lord that searches the heart of man not the devil. So if there is nothing in your heart 
you cannot produce anything. The devil only work based on available information by his familiar 
spirit. This is what is happening happen. They also do meeting zoom meeting. The devil has go 
beyond what zoom meeting. What is happening in UK now? They say oh we saw said no you can’t go 
there. they carry fire. res you can’t go there you know I was trying to h you know so that is how 
the strategic they have so we also as a child of god even in our business life we must be strategic 
all those people you see with big big testimony doesn’t just happen it’s hard work I keep telling 
people to those that are hardworking it is harder to give up they don’t give up anything but when 
you are not hardwork Life is hard. Mhm. But I am not also saying that being hardworking without 
working smart. You must be hardwork then you work smart. Just like Joseph, he was smart enough 
to know that even though Goliath carry helmets, but the face of Goliath was not covered. So 
that was his target. He was not just going to throw the stone. He already knew that that place 
was not protected. So if I can hit that place, Goliath will go down. So while David I mean 
why David was talking to Golth, he was not just talking he was distracting Goliath. Why he 
was just say I’m going to pull you down. He was   trying to see if you not he say I will cut off 
your head. That means his target was his head. He knew what he wanted to do. He said tonight I 
will cut off your head. So he he saw that place. He saw the vacuum there. So even in your business 
you should know where you are failing where am I failing why am I not making progress then you 
do meeting with other people you you buy idea just like Mr. She said collaborating efforts. You 
must collaborate to grow your business. You don’t just say no I don’t want people to see you know I 
somebody share a picture with me in those you know here in Africa especially Nigeria when you are 
you see people covering their books so that you   not copy them. He said all those people covering 
books today I the governor and then the president. So even in business world don’t just isolate your 
information share ideas share ideas ask question why am I not making success someone like me I ask 
a lot of question if I am not doing it right I call people that are in that business they are not 
my enemy we are competing everybody is there to make an admins so I cannot say they are my enemy 
if I am not doing well I will go and make them why am I not doing well then they will tell me what 
they are doing and Thank you sir. God increase us in Jesus name. Amen. So as we be bringing the meet 
to a close, let me just allow um sister to to give us a one minute um um a close up u charge then 
um Sam also will give us one minute. So bear with us for another 3 minutes to just quickly just do 
the round off. So sister one minute and give us a charge for closing. Okay. Um I will draw this from 
an experience I had um three years ago. I mean some of us knew I went through a particular health 
challenge unknown to me because of misdiagnosis but of course the Holy Spirit came through. I did 
say that um whatever hiccup or bumps you beat on the way is so that God can is is a way of creating 
an opportunity for growth. And that was what happened to me. You know it was a health challenge 
but in that health challenge God opened a business idea that thrived to the point where as I was 
leaving I had to maybe not transfer but it was there’s someone handling that side. So what am I 
trying to say here? Like I said earlier, whatever   it is you do must be of benefit to humanity. It 
will not be selfish. And because it’s of benefit to humanity, the Holy Spirit will constantly hold 
you by hands, giving you enabling grace to be able to fulfill these things. So if you understand 
like Samuel said, what your call is, understand that you need God to achieve it. And with that, 
he will direct you to the right. Not everybody should be your friend. Not everybody should be in 
your networking. He would drive you to the right people and help you fulfill this mandate. And 
like pastor Peter said at every time you pause and check am I making any progress. If I’m not 
retrace back and start again and above all put God in everything you do. There’s no exaggeration 
with God. Just put in all you do and it will help you in Jesus name. Thank you so much. somewhere. 
Okay, let me just wrap up. So, um let me just say that we are in a dispensation where God is raising 
generational people in the business world. God is raising builders. He’s raising creators. He’s 
raising leaders and visionaries that will combine diligence with um divine direction. People that 
will combine excellence with ethics and people that will combine combine purpose, productivity 
with purpose. Now this is what you don’t just work hard. We know that hard at work hard work 
does not kill it be fine. Don’t just work hard. You must work smart. We’ve aligned what smart work 
is. We use the acronyms work smart is strategic. Be understand measurability. Be be accountable. 
Be realistic in your dealings and remain relevant and then be time conscious. Then work spiritled 
too. As believers, we must be led. That is where discernment comes in. It comes in. You must 
discern. There is something about discernment that decision. Discernment is on another level 
unlike just making decisions. When you discern, you are able to do things the right way. You are 
and that’s what make you a leader. So discern, work strategically. We used to say it energy, 
strategy is better than energy. So be strategic what you are doing and let your life be a sermon 
that preaches louder than your words and then embrace. Excellence. Excellent. Thank you so much.
