Whatever it is that God wants to achieve, there is a character requirement for the manifestation of it. Pastor Bankie calls believers to “magnify God” in every aspect of life, making room for God’s glory. He urges us to reject bitterness and grumbling, and to stop justifying what needs correction, because God holds us responsible for refusing His remedy.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name, give glory. Pastor Bankie teaches that we should pray and seek God’s direction before acting, so our motives are for God’s glory, not personal gain. Like David, victory and resources must be dedicated to the Lord, and obedience must not be treated lightly.

It is very possible to be wrong in your sincerity. Pastor Bankie teaches that troubles can be met by praying to the Lord, asking, “Teach me what I do not see,” and humbly recognizing God may be correcting hidden iniquity. As God reveals and brings discipline, He is also faithful to give relief.

There is a reason why we have been born. Pastor Bankie teaches that a seed of righteousness—the remnant on assignment—must recover the earth by seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness, enduring hardship, and using our gifts to influence society for God’s will rather than pursuing comfort or wealth.

Life seen from the proper perspective is not about play. Christians are on assignment, salt of the earth, seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, with the promise that all these things shall be added to you as you follow God's will and transform the world.

Grace is the release of the power of God to effect His purpose on this earth. Grace comes when faith meets God's call; He prepares a mighty hand and a suitable body for the assignment. By the new covenant, His laws are written on our hearts, guiding us to walk in His pleasure and rest.

My nourishment is to do the will of Him that sent me and to finish His work. The message explains that righteousness is both general and personal—God calls each believer to walk in His counsel, not the world's schemes. By faith, grace empowers us to fulfill our unique calling, with all things added.

the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word and it becomes unfruitful. Hindrances like worldly worry, wealth-seeking, and the need for human glory block God's will from flowing naturally. Walking in the kingdom by faith—seeking first the Lord and treasuring His glory—unlocks the third-day blessing.

That is what I call the principle of the third day. The message teaches that God desires to release power through obedient, prepared people, not through self-effort. By removing idols, destroying stumbling blocks, and aligning our hearts, we enter a first-and-second-day preparation that makes the third day—God's glory—natural.

I want to lay one emphasis today, and that is the fact that God uses people. When God wants to do something on earth, He calls a man of His purpose and empowers him with His grace; faith activates that power, and through that willing vessel, the mighty hand of God delivers, provides, and transforms.
