Welcome to track number one of the beautiful job. Hallelujah Father, we thank you for your great blessing today. In Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated. Hallelujah. How many people are at the back? Doing what? Well, how many people are there doing What? Are you needed? All of you are the back there. There's a gentleman in Orange who has. And if you are not doing anything there, it's not a good practice. You see, there are people who are always busy running around. We always miss a lot of important things. Do you understand? Yeah, Hallelujah. Great. Now I want to share with you on what I call the beautiful job. So this beautiful job, I am sure you know by now what it's about. It's not accounting, it is shepherding. Amen. So there are seven parts of the job. Number one, the beautiful job of being a son. Yeah, it's a job. Can I have a little bit of volume? Because I don't hear much where I am, so I don't know whether you want to give us a bit of sound here. OK. The beautiful job of being a son #2 The beautiful job of being a pastor. OK #3 The beautiful job of fighting, becoming a fighter #4 The beautiful job of becoming an olive tree #5 The beautiful job of leading the way of becoming a leader. Number six, the beautiful job of becoming spiritual #7 the beautiful job of becoming a wise man or becoming a wise like a snake. Not easy to be as wise as serpents. You will notice that there are no lions in this area, but there are snakes. There are no tigers, but there are snakes. There are no elephants, but there are snakes. Amen. Snakes are the most successful predators on earth. Predators are animals who chase and kill other animals, and snakes are the most successful. They are more successful than lions, they are more successful than tigers, and they are more successful than all other predators you can think of. They are more successful because they are wiser than all the other animals. So to be as successful as a snake, you get it. You need to develop several wisdom keys and strategies that make you wise like a a serpent. That's why Jesus said be as wise as a serpent. So I hope one of these days we will explain all that. Amen. Now, let us first start with the beautiful job of becoming a son. All right, now, what is a son? First of all? First of all, there are different types of fathers, OK, That you have to recognise and become comfortable with. Are you with me? I forgot your name somewhere. You have to become comfortable with the different fathers because all of us, right, came into this world differently and in different circumstances. It is a very small fraction of people who have daddy and mummy and children in the family. There's daddy, there is mummy, and here three children or four children or two children or whatever, and they live happily ever after. And then the children get married and then they also have grandchildren and the grandchildren come home to visit daddy and mummy. This is the ideal, but it is not common. It's not common. That's what you must realize. If you don't realize that quickly, you will misunderstand what is happening in life. You understand that is a few, very few people have that. From my experience as a pastor, All right, I have noticed that few people have that. Now, does that mean that they are going to be deprived of daddy and mummy? Do you get it? No, they are not because God has a provision and then also daddy and mummy, even if you have the ideal, this is daddy and this is mummy. Daddy is a human being with a lot of issues or a lot of sometimes what I call poor background. And mummy is also somebody with a poor background. Look at yourself. You see your background how it is and you're going to become a mummy and you're going to become a daddy. So you can imagine how your house is going to be like. Do you see? Yes, So you everybody comes with his, his or her hang ups and a whole lot of issues, you know, and that's why the Bible wants you to honour your father. You know, all the things that the Bible says do are usually the things that are not done. Like you say, husband love your wife. You see, it's what doesn't happen and then wife submit to your husband. That's also also what doesn't happen. And then children honour, obey your father and mother. That is also what doesn't happen. So sometimes when you see that command, it should make you worried because that is the very thing that there are a lot of reasons not to do it. Yeah, a lot of good reasons why it will not happen in that way. Are you listening to me? Are you understanding me? Glory to God, one second. Why is Blossom? No, I What? The song. I must go away. Who sings that song? Yeah, you sing that for me quickly. I must go away. I must go away, for my work down here on earth is done, and while I've gone away, I will be building you a place and I'm coming again to change you back, to live with me. I've also away. I must go away. All my work down here on Earth it does. But why I'm going away. I will be building you a plane and I'm coming again to take you back. To. Live with all the people cry as Jesus is dead as the die. Why mine go woe how we want to go. The tree does wipe here I. And then with eyes my little children. I hate to leave you, but I must go. I must go. I work down here on Earth. It's done. But why I'm wrong? I will be pairing you. OK, then I'm coming again to take you back to live with. Me. Is it fantastic? Yeah. So, yes. So you must know that when you people are ready at the back there, you can call me. Are you ready for me? Not yet. Tell them to hurry up. They got 3 minutes more. What do you call it? You. You must, you must now accept that God has will provide for you. OK, Fathering. What you need is fathering. Do you understand? You need to be fathered or you need to have a father or a mother. You need that thing in your life. But what you must accept is that that fathering will not come necessarily from the traditional source. And even if it is coming from a traditional source, remember, it will always be deficient because your mother is just like you. She's deficient just like you. And your daddy is just like you. He's also lacking a whole lot of things. Are you listening? This Abigail, right? Yeah. Do you understand? Come. You see Abigail, look how nice she looks, but she's deficient when you when you you see the Bible says that every man he that speaketh first, he that pleadeth his cause first soundeth just. You see, when you come and you plead your cause or you sing, you sound just. But then the Bible says but he's never cometh and searcheth alga matter. Yeah. So just you just you just see the person she comes and she pleads her course by just her presence and her beautiful face. Keep looking straight so they see how nice you are. You get it? She sounded just or sounded good like his neighbor cometh and searched out the matter. Then the never will come and tell you that this one is very Moody. Oh, this one, she doesn't like cookie dough. This one, she is very quarrelsome. He is never cometh and setteth out the matter. Yeah. So as you see yourself, you are deficient in some some things You may never know. Limited. When you marry, you see that you are deficient. OK, my dear, sit down. You are blessed. OK? So I'm explaining to you that even if you had a traditional mummy and daddy who were able to do a lot of things for you, OK, still remember I had a father and a mother. My father and my mother stayed together. So my father died. My parents never divorced, never separated. I always came home to come and see daddy and mummy at home. Yeah, they lived together till my father died. But my, my, I never, I never knew Christ. My mother always says when people say, oh, your son is what I said. I don't have anything to do with it because she did not even believe in God at that time. It's later that she she got saved and then she comes to church now. She didn't have anything to do with that. In that sense, that's a reality. Yeah. God provided for me the other spiritual input from somewhere else. And then certain things that I saw in marriage, OK. I would not have even marriage based on what I saw. Yeah. Now through other inputs from other people, then I began to even know certain things about marriage. Yeah. When I look at my when I look at my my home, there are certain things I never saw my father do with my mother. Never. I lent them in church. Yeah, well, I mean, I I don't want to say, I don't want to say all the things whilst I'm preaching, but the things that I never I never saw. And then I I heard Pastor Fred Price talking about them and I said, oh wow. And I heard other people speaking about things. So I learned a whole lot of things not from even though I have a traditional daddy and mummy, I I keep on explaining to you that the person will always lack something because he's just like you. He's becoming a Mama and a daddy. That is just like how you are going to become a mummy and a daddy one day, OK. That's why you don't have to dishonour them, no matter how deficient they are, because yours may be worse. In fact, you may be the beast number beast to them. Whatever degree. Yeah, OK. Yeah. So very, very important that you you get what I'm saying and you get it right. OK. What do you have for us? Can you sing one of your songs? I must go away. I'll be. None. There is no other name given to them that they might be saved and all that precious name can take a life. It started over again and that name was Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Every hour you give you power to go through and then it's no other name given to man that they might be saved and all that precious name can take a life then start it over again. That name is Jesus. Oh Jesus, every hour you give your power to go through and when disappointments come, but you don't don't you don't know what to do? Well, I I have a friend. And I'd like to recommend my friend to you. I love him. Jesus. He's my sweet Rose of Sharon. He's my Lily of the Valley. My, my, my. You kill your power to go through and when you come gone as far as you can and when you need you know you need the help in here and when you try try that hard by the seems you can't succeed. Well, that friend of mine, he's just who you need. I love him. I love him my love of Jesus. He's your sweet rose of Sharon. He's my Lily of the valley. Oh my, my mind give you power to go through. I love him. I love him I love him Jesus. He can be a rose of Sharon. And here's my lady of the valley from my mind. He gave you power to go through. Why don't you try you today to take you over hills and mountains every hour to guide you through the storms of life. He'll give you power to go through. Hallelujah. I I'm just trying to sing a song and it says it talks about how we expect Jesus in his coming. Yeah. We expect you anytime, anytime. And how we are away to see your face, Your blessed face. We explained you, we explained you, we explained you any, any, anytime. We expect you anytime, any time. And how we are away. See your face, joy. Blessed phrase. We explain you, we explain you, we explain you and he and he time until you come. We will, we will keep the wheels turning. You keep the praise ringing in our soul, in our hearts. I only just we all returning because you're coming to take us and take us home. You're coming to take us home and take us home. So we explain to you. We expect you, Jesus. We expect you time. So we will keep the fire, we'll keep it burning. We will keep the wheels, we'll keep them turning. You keep your praises. You keep them ringing in our souls and how our hearts, how our hearts are turning just for your, just for your returning. Hang on. You're coming to take us and take us home. You're coming to take us home and take us home. I have one now, so it is very important for you too. I'm continuing on what I'm sharing about becoming a son. It's very important for you to accept, OK, the reality of being fathered or becoming a son to a number of people, not many, but a number of people whom God will bring to your life as fathers. If you accept them, it will really help you. Yeah. And I can say that so many things that each father has contributed to my life has really changed me. I was telling the Archbishop the other day as I went with him to see the president. And I was telling him the other day that I called him. And I was. So I was telling him thanks for taking me along to go and talk to the president and having closed door meetings, just a few of us. And I was telling him that he was saying, oh, no, you did. Well, I said no, you are training me. Yeah, because you are giving me that exposure. He knows all of these people. He has known these presidents from the time they started arresting him and the ruling time all throughout each government has come. He has been, I mean, each time they come, they say he belongs to the other group until he's able to breakthrough and then on and on and on. It's just how it is. So he has been with this one, this one, this one, Rollins, Kufu Mills, all of them. They have all been for the last year, since 1979. You get it. So what I'm saying is that he's also is having a kind of influence in helping me to also see how to relate with such people, you understand, which young Guicho is not doing for me. Another expert, Pride is doing that for me and Canada is not doing that for me. Are you? Are you understanding what I'm saying? So what I'm trying to say is that all the different fathers in your life bring something and you don't have to get angry with young Guicho because it's not taking me to see the president of of Korea doesn't have anything to do with him. And and in the same way, you don't have to get angry with your father because he never took you to a restaurant. Yeah. Your father has never took you. How many father has ever taken you to a restaurant to sit, raise your hand never taking you to a Chinese restaurant? How many family of your father never taking you to a French restaurant? How many of you your father has never taken you to an Italian restaurant? Raise your hand if you have never been taken to an Italian restaurant. Yeah. One day I was with some of my pastors or sons or whatever you want to call them, and I was, I went to an Italian restaurant and I was showing them this is Alfredo. There's a food called Alfredo. This is carbonara. This is fettuccine. This is linguine. Yeah, this is tagliatelli. So you may not your and you don't have to get angry with your father because he has not taken it, because God will provide somehow for the overall training. And so and so you will notice since you come to church. I will talk about why Christian wives, young girls learn how to cook. But you see, it's not that I'm interested in cooking because you are not going to cook for me. Your cooking would. Even if I'm to marry you, you will not cook for me. Yeah, if let's say, God forbid, but if let's say I was to marry you, you will not cook for me. I already have somebody who will cook for me. So when I'm talking to you about cooking, it's not for me, it's for you. So that's the way that God is trying to help you and further you into something. I hope you are getting what I'm trying to talk about. So there is an act of being a son or a daughter, and that is what I'm trying to explain to you so that you benefit properly from all that God is giving you. Because in this church, as you are here at the camp and all that you think I've brought you, you have not come to anywhere like this before. Tell the truth. Yeah. So I'm brightening your eyes. I know. I know what I'm doing. I could have just, I could have just found somewhere we could have had this meeting at Colegono at the at the what do you call it? And the other the robots fall under there would have fitted there easily. It will not have a certain effect on you. That's why I brought you here. We are, we are going to have, we are going to have a coffee break. So that you understand what is a coffee break? Yeah, we are going to have lunch or dinner. So that evening your father never took you to any restaurant. You see that through the church and through the work of God. You have also gone to a restaurant. Are you listening? Sit down. Amen. So I want you to have in mind. Amen. The art of becoming a son. OK. And you must first of all understand the types of son that you can be. A person can be a son. So number one, you can be a son to your Heavenly Father. Amen. Wow, you can be a son to your what? To your heavenly Father. Amen. And thank God for our Heavenly Father, our Father, which are in heaven otherwise be. That is one of the fathers God gives to us to enjoy is a Father in heaven. He is the real Father, that there is no one that compares. So when you are singing that song to your beloved, there is no light. You are singing the wrong song to your beloved. It's a mistake. #2 you can be a son to your father in Christ. You can be a son. You are a son to somebody who brought you to Christ. Through that person you came to Christ. Amen. All right, through that person you came to Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Are you listening through that person? You came to the Lord and I came to the Lord through whoever it's not. So sometimes you can't see who your father, you know. Yeah, one day I heard somebody insulting someone and he said you are the son of 1000 fathers. What he was saying is that we can't know who your father is clearly because so many people slept with your mother and we are not sure who exactly is your father. So sometimes the fathering is a little vague, can't tell who the father is. And you'll be surprised, some of you, if you do your if you check your blood group or your DNA, you'll be surprised that your father is not your father. Because as your mother is wearing clothes and she looks very holy, you don't know how she was in those days. She was Wardo and she was pretty. Some of your mother was nicer than you. Yeah, she was nicer than you. So that she has cooled down as she has put on weight. You think that she has never been slim? #3 you can be a son to a spiritual father, a spiritual father, Amen. That is somebody who makes you spiritual. Through that person you become spiritual. OK, you become spiritual now. I I didn't have a spiritual father in that I had a spiritual mother. Betty, she's called she introduced me to all the important things that make a person spiritual. Quiet time, church. She took me to action. She took me to Calvary Rd. Singers. She took me to the first Christian programme, helped me to buy my first Bible. Everything that is important, you see And some of you as you've come to the church, you realise that you are being introduced to spiritual, to becoming a spiritual person, spirituality about the Bible, the Holy Spirit and church and all the things that make you spiritual. So whoever is doing that, sometimes your mate can be like that, or sometimes a pastor or sometimes an elder or whoever. God brings you, once you flow and you humble yourself and you accept whatever it is you, you, you start to be blessed. That's what I'm talking about. Being a son first, very, very important. You know you must. You must know how to be a son. That's why when Archbishop was talking to me and telling me that, oh, thanks to you, he was saying no thanks for your. I was, I called myself. I was calling to say thanks for yesterday when we went to see the president. And so I said no, no, no, no. You are you. Thank you for your partners. I said no, no. You see, you have to know how to be a son, not to be. We are all the same. So we all went together by man of God and the man of God. You have a church. I also have a church. My church is bigger than your church. Stop that. There's a way that you behave that makes you some way. Yeah. And there are people like that. We really want to be big quickly. Yeah. And sometimes your own mate is fathering you, is teaching you decency. You have to accept it. Amen. The next one is your biological father. Or you can be a son to your biological father. And that one, thank God for your biological father who has come and brought you to this world. You work like him, you look like him. Some of the beastly things in him that you don't like, you are like that. Also. Did you hear what I said? I said some of the beastly aspects you don't like, that's how you are. So the more messy you have towards him, the more grace will abound towards you to make to ameliorate your bad characteristics. Are you listening to me? Amen. Very good #5 Just you can be a son to a substitute father. A substitute father is somebody who became your father because your real father wasn't there. Maybe your mother became your father. So your mother was your father and mother. Sometimes your uncle or somebody in the world. So sometimes you see somebody say, oh, my uncle has died. I'm going to a funeral or the person is going home. It's the uncle that he goes to. I had a friend. He was mostly his uncle that he was going to. I never heard much about his father. This is what his uncle who carried him and took him to go and do a school exams. He didn't know that they were doing common entrance or whatever we were doing. Then his uncle said, oh, you have to go. So he took him in the morning. Go. That's how he even he even went to school and went to a medical school in the end. Yeah. So he owed a lot to the uncle. So the uncle becomes a plays a role. That's some things that are like Paris due to it sometimes if you're the church person can become like you're even like as it is like a like a substitute biological father, you see. And if you don't accept it, you are a big fool because what God has provided for you, which is fathering or mothering, you have been foolish enough not to recognise that it is coming to you from here because you are only looking for the traditional method. And you are here's your biological father and your biological mother for not being like Bill Gates or being rich enough because not every father or mother is money. Yeah. Are you listening to me? Amen. The next one is your you can be a son to your father-in-law. You can be a son to your father-in-law. OK, what do you think? You can be a son to your father-in-law. In law. All right, what does that mean? God will give you fathers in law when you marry. That's why you should not marry an unbeliever, because when you marry an unbeliever, like Jesus told the phrases, you are of your father, the devil. So your father, the person you are marrying, his father is the devil. Now you are going to marry him. So it means your father-in-law is the devil. So when you marry, you are linking yourself to a father-in-law. That's why you should not marry an unbeliever. You must marry a believer. All right, What do you think? Yeah, so when you marry into a family, that father of that person somehow becomes a camouflage and you can become a blessing to you, me, my father-in-law. It was a blessing to me. When you come from Takuradi, when you are coming from Accra or when you are going from Cape Coos, when you get to Mancusim and you turn left, you see his house on the on the main road, a big greenhouse with a banner and his pictures and he is buried in that house. Yeah. He was a very rich man and he became my father also and I became a son to him. And he often used to say, you know, I am not your father-in-law, I am your father who is outside coming. Amen. He used to say I am not your father-in-law or in lieu, I am your father and he was, he taught me many things that were important, including not borrowing. Because when I, when I met him, you know, God used him to teach me some of the more very important things that I use in the ministry today. One of them was that when I met him, you know, he was driving an old car, but he was a millionaire. And it was because of the government that he was not buying a car. Yeah, because he had been harassed by them when they came into power. So he was driving an old car and he had a lot of money. The day that he decided to buy cars, he just bought the new Benz. This, this, this thing. Just put them in the. They were just dead. And that I had two weddings. I've had two weddings. All the two weddings reduced his car. It was always the latest Benz. Yeah, for my wedding. And then ten years later, he was still driving the newest. By that time he was allowing himself to drive those cars. When he was 80 something years, he was building big, big, big projects. So I lent it from him. Building. Always be building. So you see, I'm always building something. Yeah. And then be built and build till you die. He was rich. Build. Start building. I could have built that house when I was in school, but I didn't know then. I didn't know that. I I didn't know that I could have bought land and I bought land at the Sprinters Road and all those places. All those places were bushes at that time. I didn't know that. Until somebody shows you that we can build, you don't know that you can build one day from from Accra up to the mountains, which will be all traffic with traffic lights, Aburi and all those places you will not get even now, you cannot get back soon. You cannot get it to be trafficking town, to be a town a crowd would join with the mountains. Yeah. Are you listening? Yeah. So that my father-in-law, he thought before he died, he said, he said tell Dad to come. That was the last time I saw him. He said come now. And I went. When I went, he sat down and he told me this is how I became a millionaire. Yeah, he told me how I became a millionaire. He stretched out his hand and said this is how I became a millionaire. Wow. Yeah. So, father-in-law, don't reject and say it's my husband's father, it's my wife's father, it's your father too, it's your father too. Perhaps the Lord is using that one so many start to you. Amen. So the art of being a son, yeah, One day he had, my father-in-law had a house that was empty. And I wanted one of my pastors to go and stay in the house. So I went to see him and he, he, he, he could have given the house. He said no, no, no, no, he will not give the house. So he didn't. I wasn't happy at all. But later I was looking at that. The man is very wise. He doesn't want problems, certain problems, Yeah, but he wouldn't know the problems. You can get some of you say I'm going to do business. I'm doing business with my parents. I'm doing business. The problem is coming more lending money to this lending and no, no, no, no, no. He was, he was, he was wise. He said when my building is there, he doesn't breathe, it doesn't drink, it doesn't do anything. It is just there. Yeah, it doesn't breathe, it doesn't drink, it doesn't eat. It is there. I don't have any problem. When I was travelling, I was doing business, transport business. I I took inspiration from him and he told me, he said you are going to London, pack your car, your track before you go. I said no, no, no, I have a good track. I said no, no, your track. He has bad transport business. He used to have articulators with white radios. In those days, white men were working for him. Yes, with radios, radio communication. White people were working in his company. Yeah. And he said to me, I have only one truck and he's advising me back your truck. But you know better because you are young, you feel that what you know in your case, it will be able to pull rounded in your case. In your case it will not be like that. I told him that I have a driver. A driver is called Issa, and then and then another guy. I don't want to mention his name. These are faithful guys and that they can handle the truck, everything. So I went Switzerland, London, whatever I was going to do, and I came back. When I came back, I thought Bishop Saki, how everybody greeted me. I think I just had a baby. They sang a song and all that. We were happy with that. Then came time for business. So I was told that how much do I have? Oh, when you went the tipping motto of the because I didn't know that a tipper track has two motors. The motto of the engine and the motto of the tipping parts that makes it go up and down. The tipping motto got spot. So it has been taken to Odonna. Do you know Odonna? Odonna fitness? So they took it out and this and that and their prison. So this how much you are owing? And before I was going, I was not owing. You see, this is how a young person feels. He feels always that in my case, in my case, in my case, I will be able to circumvent. So my father-in-law was a blessing. I'm just telling you that through all these people, God showing me fathering, fathering, somebody came and showed me quiet time. This, this day. She went out of my life. I rarely see her. I call her sometimes. I speak to her sometimes, but I don't see because it's in a different church due to marriage. But the president has finished the work, but always remains special to me because of the impact. Yeah. Then another person comes and finishes. So now for some of you, God has brought me into your life. To play a certain role, you must accept all the different aspects you see. Like when you listen to a camp, you hear different things. It's not only how to go. I've not yet started to visiting or gathering or No, No, no. We are talking about practical things, especially in your case, how you will be thinking as a young person. Don't think that way. It applies to you. Yeah. Are you listening? All right. The next one is your father. You can be a son to your, to the father of a church. You can be a son to a father of a church, For instance. This church is a church, and there is a father of a church. The father of the church is the founder who makes the church exist. So it's different from all the other pastors. Do you understand? Yeah. If you have fathers, that's what you have, a father in the church, father of the church. And then you have pastors, teachers, elders, plenty. But the father of the church is the founder. So John Wesley is the father of the Methodist Church. Do you understand? Or Duncan Williams. Bishop Duncan Williams is the father of Christian action, Faith News. Although there are other pastors. Yes, but he is the father of the ministry. That's why he was able to travel abroad for about 8 years, I think. And he came back and just took over his church. Yeah. Because upon arrival, you, you know that he did. The father of the prison must come. So step back. Step back. The father has come. You are a nice pastor. You are a nice teacher. But please, to the left and to the right, so the father has more authority. That is why when the Palestinian leader Jasa Arafat was around, he was doing a lot of things that were not good for Palestine. He was not signing the agreement, you see, But there was never confusion the way he died. Then all sorts of leaders have come and Palestinians are divided into more pieces, you see, by the father. Somebody who fought for them, did terrorism for them, hijacked planes. I mean, he has done so many things you may never know, limited what a father is doing, the aeroplanes he has hijacked for you, the people he has killed for you to be existent. That's what gives fathers authority, especially with in a certain situation, rather that his power is more. Yeah, yeah. One day I was working with an Archbishop. You see, as some of you, there are some people. When I deal with some rebellious people, sometimes I don't want to speak to them. Because I realized that after me there is no one else hire. And I can see that when I talk to them, they will not listen to me. So because there are people, the person with the big authority may speak to you, but still you won't change. You just say lifestyle change, but you will be there. Messi. What's your name? Araba. From where? Kalebu. OK. Yeah. Have you heard of Araba? Lucy. Then you have a father in sin who can be a son to a bad person, a son to a father of sin who is going to baptize you and teach you. Sometimes, ladies, you have somebody encouraging you to go and have a boyfriend, go and do this, go and do this, teaching you, going with you to places, going with you to discos, taking you to have girlfriends, boyfriends, doing things because sometimes you wouldn't know because somebody teaches you a little. How many have had a father in sin before he taught you? What was he discovered? Mess around. Your father in sin was 4. Mess around, mess around. What was he teaching you to do? He taught me how to go to discos, not just one night, but how to start from Thursday and go from Friday, Saturday. That was one time. And he also taught me how to go to different nightclubs in one night. His problem? Mess around, mess around. He also taught me how to smoke. He taught you. He taught me how to smoke. Form one, form 1. How many types of sons do you have there? 8 You should have nine, you should have 9 Heavenly Father, Father in Christ, spiritual Father, father of the movement. You can be the son of the father of the movement. Yes, sometimes there is a movement like the faith movement or church growth movement. You see, I like to see myself as one of Yong Gichou's sons. African children, African children's choir. Hallelujah. Yong Gichou has is the father of the Church growth movement. His church grew so many he started to preach about church growth. Yeah. 700,000 members attending on Sundays. One church, yes. So that's a lot of people. So he, he started to preach about church growth, church growth, church growth, church growth. He has also been a father many things that I, I have seen and do and learn. I learned it from him. The iron sharpener iron Conference and the board members we have and all the things we did there are all things I just learned from by copying what I saw in Korea. When you go to Korea, if you ever come with me to Korea, one day you will see how many will be coming along. You will see a whole lot of things there. You say, ah, they have copied as that we have copied them. Amen. Is it amazing? And finally, your Father in the ministry. OK, Ministry what? What is ministry? Ministry is work for the Lord. Yes. Working for God, OK. And being a servant of the Lord. A lot of people become casual Christians, but not so many graduate and become workers for the Lord. Now everybody here is being I am fathering you into ministry work to becoming pastors. I will be very happy on the day that all of you, the last one amongst you is appointed as a pastor. All of you, all of you here, all of you here are going to become pastors. That is why you are here. This the job is the pastoring job. It's a business and we are not joking. We are here because we want to work for the Lord, Hallelujah, and we want to learn how to wet for the Lord and how to do this job. Now, do not think that this work is like any other work. Every job is different. And you need to be trained. All right, You need to be trained. Come all the way to the front wherever you're sitting. Not a problem at all. Not a problem. What's your name again? David. Chief Elder of Cape Coast. Where's Chief Cardella? She's still coordinating things on the back there. Glory to God. Yeah, you are. You are all becoming ministers. You are becoming pastors, shepherds. Some will become slower than others because everybody takes his own, has his own. Some are phlegmatic. I went to a castle in France. Have I told you of the statue? I saw a statue. A man was standing like this and there was a tortoise at the bottom. And they have written lay phlegmatique. That means the phlegmatic 1600 and something. They discovered these things years ago that everybody has a different nature and some people are just slow on the uptake. But sure, some are fast, but with other problems, depending on how you are like, you may have different problems. All right, So one of the main things that you need, you will need in becoming a pastor or becoming doing this beautiful job is becoming a son, A son. Where is Tedella now? She's still at the back there operating. OK, Go to God. OK now. And I'm saying that you need to become a good son of whatever person or caricature God has chosen for you to be a son under, and that in itself will make you the best pasta. Just that it's true. I'll say it again, I gave you the 7 dimensions of the beautiful job. Isn't it the becoming? What? Do you know what? Being a wise man. close the door, please. Always the door should be closed. Always the door should be closed. All right, glory to God. OK, now are you listening? What I am saying is that, and I'm going to say it again, maybe 100 times so that you can get it. Just being a good son would make you be able to do the work you are doing, they're supposed to do properly, that's all. Being a good daughter would make you a good worker, a good, a good jobber. That's all because it's jobbing. We are jobbing and it's beautiful jobing. I mean, I've heard of jobbing, going to job in London. Are you jobbing in London? That's what we used to say. I'm jobbing, so we are talking about beautiful jobbing. All of you are going to become ministers and you can become a good minister. There are so many things you can learn, but perhaps the simplest is to become a good son. And if you do, you are likely to become a good minister. Because if I look at what God has blessed me with in in the ministry to the fathers, the things that I am doing that are working, they are the things that I have copied properly, those are the ones that work. Everything about me is copying or following something that I've seen. You get it. Most of the things are like that. Not everything, but as many as most of the things that really work. It started with preaching. I noticed that the preaching and the message that work are the ones that I noticed that I would virtually preach what papahagin preached. The whole place in the electorate, people seem to be really blessed. I noticed it. So if I look at many of the things that I'm successfully doing, let's say iron sharpener, iron conference, all the things, the board, the bass, the darts, it's like you chose pro conference. I'm just repeating it here in Africa. Same ideas, same, everything the same. It's amazing. You just have to come once. You'll see. I I've taken most almost everybody who worked with me. I've been with the person to Korea before, and I often try to take them more than once to Korea. Yeah. Like, let's go. We walk around and roam around the place. After the cover, we roam around the whole place. Go up, go down, go here, go here. Just relax in the place and getting an inspiration feeling. Yeah. So just being a good son, oh, a good daughter because daughters, daughters are are, you know, can also become very, very, very great in the ministry. Daughters, your problems will be just different, but it will be the same fruitfulness but different problems. It's like, it's like doing, I mean maths and science, the questions or the problems you are solving in the maths paper are problems and the guy who is sitting next to us solving science is also solving problems. They're just different problems. Each of these problems, if you do arts, you solve problems. They ask you what is the this and that, discuss. It's the problem. The science man will be asked to calculate some physics things and so on. Density, weight, volume, speed and this one is being asked to discuss. The French Revolution was caused by the shortage of breath discussed and that is his problem. Not less than 4 pages. Is that what they write on? Not less than 4 pages. So brothers and sisters, when you are a woman, your problems are different, but they are problems. When you are a man, your problems are also different, but they are problems. But in both cases, if you get A, you got an A, and you are moving forward. Can I have an? Amen. So being a son, just being a son of being a daughter can make you do well. Amen. Are you there? Stand up, everybody. Now, how many of you have not slept in the night? Why? Why were you brought here without sleeping? What happened last night? Say again, I can't hear how many of you have not slept? Raise your hand, Lulu. Where's Lulu? You cannot organise people who have not slept in the night for me to talk to. I cannot talk to people who have not slept. It's not possible, if you understand. Where's Lu? Where's Cadela? Do you understand? I cannot talk to people who haven't slept in the night. It's like asking them to drive a car. You cannot do that a whole lot. A whole lot of people here say they've not slept the whole night. So I don't know. I don't know how I'm going to talk to them. All those who haven't slept, lift your hands again. OK. Is the coffee break ready? OK, you are. You are causing a big problem. I tell you, I need somebody who has a phone with a strong alarm. And that person's phone is going to guide us. Every 30 minutes. We'll take a break. It will ring, ring. Then we stop wherever we preach. So who has a good phone, Saipa? OK, so go out for your coffee break. And then in 10 minutes, 15 minutes, we come back. It takes 15 minutes. There are lots. All right. And all those who haven't slept. Hello. Please, can I tell you something? You, you I don't want you to see another side of things that you, you want to see. So just take my little bit of advice otherwise, because every coin has two sides of it. Yeah. So I'm telling you, you have to obey the rules in the camp and I, I really need you to follow what it is. So 15 minutes maximum 20 minutes.
