In this sermon, the preacher discusses the story of Jacob from the book of Genesis. Jacob, who had done wrong things and was running away, had a vision of a ladder from heaven to earth with angels ascending and descending. God spoke to Jacob in the vision, promising him land and blessings. However, Jacob's response was focused on his personal needs and material prosperity, offering only ten percent of his possessions to God. The preacher emphasizes that many believers remain focused on material blessings even after encountering God, and encourages listeners to seek a deeper, transformative relationship with God.

In this sermon, the preacher shares a story about Billy Sunday, an American evangelist, who held a crusade in a town in the Midwest. Despite preaching the gospel from Isaiah 61-1, no one responded to the invitation all week. It was later discovered that there were many lost people present, but they did not respond due to the resentment and ill feelings between two pastors supporting the crusade. After the pastors embraced and asked for forgiveness, over 100 people received Christ as Savior. The sermon emphasizes the importance of personal holiness and unity in the body of Christ, and highlights the need to overcome traditions that hinder revival.
