01. People Who Obtain Abraham's Blessing

Welcome to track number one of the blessings of Abraham. So it's a blessing I bring you greetings from Ghana. Yeah. Where's Gabanti? Here. It's on his way. OK. Where's Paul? I don't see Paul. It's just on his way. First of all, where is he? We also. Organize a lot of organizations. Wow, OK great. Tell me Video Galatians chapter 3. All right, we are coming in now. That's 6, my sister. There's a chair here, somebody sitting there. There's a chair right there, or you can sit in front right there on my chair. Great. The question is I'm sharing about the blessings of Abraham and the question is, who are the true sons of Abraham? You get it if you if you read the Bible, Old Testament is the Torah. OK, so my thing is the blessings of Abraham. If you read the Bible, you'll find out that the Old Testament was or is the Bible for Jews. OK. Are you there? The Old Testament is the Bible of the Jews. They call it the Torah. OK. And. Jews are a special group of people in the world. They are God's chosen people and they see themselves as the sons of Abraham. They believe that three people have changed the whole world. The three people that have changed the world are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and that through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whole world has been changed because they founded what they call monotheism, which is that there is one God. Abraham is the founder of his own religion. In that religion they explained that there is one God and that God is not an idol. It's not an idol that you can touch. Do you understand? But he's a God who created heaven and earth far greater than any wood or stone that you could ever have. Are you there? Can you hear me very well? Because I'm not shouting. I don't know if you give them enough volume. All right? I shout when I'm doing evangelism. This is not evangelism. All right. Are you there now? They believe that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob change the whole world. And through these three patriarchs fathers, Jacob is the grandson of Abraham and Isaac is the son of Abraham. So Abraham's children, you know the line that came out of him, have affected the whole world because all of them have come, the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims. Is it not true? And it has affected everything that is being done in the world today. Everything is affected by them now. So the the traditions of Jews right have been taught the stories of. Abraham. Isaac, Jacob. Abraham, Isaac. Jacob, Moses. Ibram, Isaac. Jacob, Moses. Esther. He man. You know how they saved Israel and they kept salvation of Israel? Actually today they actually have modern Davids, David and Goliath. They have, they have modern Davids who fought in this 67 war, 60 war and so on. Modern ones, they have modern, there's a lady called Shula. Shula. They see her as a modern day Esther. Who? Saved Israel many times and she was a spy in Lebanon and she was at the highest level. She was the Prime Minister, took her as his daughter, Prime Minister, her three children, handed her to his children. Minister of Pope Syria or Lebanon and then by a position there he saved Israel many times. So they have modern day babies which fought people lions. There's a commander of a tank called forget his name and he they also see him as a kind of David he bought with just about 30 tanks against about 1400 tanks coming from Syria and he was able to overcome in the end. So it's a wonderful group of people. They believe in tithing over the years. They are the richest ethnic group of people in America. If you take the average income of an American to be 100 units or $100 a hundred, they have rated all the ethnic groups in America to see how the income is like now. The lowest are black and Hispanics at a level of 62. Then different countries hold Dutch. People. Germans whatever form up to 100. Americans average Average American 100. When it goes up the highest, the second highest is Japanese, Japanese in America, and there's at level 132. But the happiest is the juice, which is 178. Yeah, it's a very unusual group of people, and there are only 18 million of them in the whole world. And it does spread out all around. So they believe all these things apply to them in a special way. One day I was in Jerusalem and I met a second brother from Ghana. And I asked. Him how he's. Able to stay he. Said a lot of canyons and Nigerians and so on, but who don't have papers, they don't have state. So I said what work do you do? So we are clean, We are what helps the houses and so on. So I said that why do they not? I mean, why? Why? How come you're able to stay, settle? There is a vested design where the Bible says nations are human safety. So they believe that that face is being fulfilled when they see the Canadians and others serving, cleaning and so on. You understand, I'm just trying to explain to you that there's another group. Who? Really. Believe these. Things in the Bible, Isaiah, Genesis, Abraham, Isaac, they know the stories. Even there are more additions to these stories that they have apart from the ones that we have. You get it? Yeah. So they believe that they have the blessings, Abraham, of their life, you see, because Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, involved, he said. If you will be with me. And if you will help me, I will give you 110th of all that I have, and I will save you. If you provide me for me and you protect me, keep me. I'll give you my 10th. That's a covenant. Me and Jews today, they are in America, they are the largest giver of money to charity and to whatever. They give $4 billion a year and that's how much they give. That's they're giving 2 billion. They give it to their rabbis to the synagogues first, then at times then 700 and something 1000 they give to some other charities and then to some to Israel and other you can that and donate to you know and they are wealthy. If you take the top 400 billionaires, they are like 40% the first group, all Jews. Jews. Whatever. It's a very unusual group of people. So they believe that they have the blessings of Abraham. I do believe that they have the blessings of Abraham, but there is some very important news. For all of us. That and it's breaking news. Yes, now people like you and I are. Also. Entitled to this. Blessing of everybody. Hallelujah goes to great lengths to explain why we are entitled to the blessings of evil, even though when I look at your black face, you don't belong anywhere near Israel. When I see your pictures, we belong to the Congo River, we belong to the river now we belong to some other place. But you see the apostle. Paul, he explains. Somebody like you and somebody like me are entitled to the blessings of Abraham. Are you excited that you are going to something that you originally, you know, you, you even belong to the cases of some fetish or the case of some other family, so now God is adding you to the blessings of everything. Hallelujah. Are you excited about that? That is why I want you to read Galatians chapter 3. Let's read this one. You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you before? Whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? This is the only thing I want to find out from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? Are you? So foolish having begun by the Spirit, are you now being affected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain? If indeed it was in vain? So then does He who provides you with the Spirit, and works miracles among you. Does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing with faith? OK, now notice. Is it so? Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Is it not true therefore be? Sure. I'm reading from the New American Bible. Be. Sure. That it is. Those. Who are of faith? Who are the sons of Abraham? Did you understand what Paul was trying to say? He said that Abraham was considered righteous because he believed, because he had faith. Therefore, those who have faith, you get it, Are the sons of Abraham because we are the sons of the faith movement, because Abraham was the first person to please God by having faith. When God said you are going to have many ladies, he believed you get it. But it goes on to explain the. Scripture. Foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, read the gospel beforehand to Abraham saying All the nations will be blessed in you. You see what what Abraham was told was that all nations will be blessed in you and through you. You see, that includes Ghana, that includes Sierra Leone, that includes Nigeria, that includes Gambia. I don't know where you're from. Sudan is everybody here from Sudan. We had a Sudanese lady here the last time I came. She's still around. Sudan, OK, What other country do you have here? Australia, Australia. Australia. What other country? Kenya, Papa New Guinea, Botswana, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe. Bongo. All nations will be blessed and Abraham so not only Israel, Israelis don't like that. But you see it is because of this that some Jews are being converted. But when they read them themselves first it is the what is read to the when you read Genesis, God said God said to Abraham, I'm blessed with all nations to be blessed. I'm not to read it. It's not a New Testament thereby because. The Christian Bible. Is exactly there's no changing OFA dot or AT or Y. It's exactly the Jewish. That's what they use 100% it James everything same exactly, exactly. And this is quoted. This is a quotation from the Torah. All nations will be blessed in Abraham or by Abraham. So that is already start to show that Abraham's influence and blessing is going to go way beyond one little country. So there are two reasons. Now we have the fact that Abraham was a righteous man by faith and we are therefore also faith people. So we are sons of Abraham. I mean, it's it's like, how do you say it? It's like this person, somebody starts a movement of love and you are also a love person. And so we are all sons, we are all coming from the same line, a love group of people. Our father is this father of love. The love father who started the whole thing is our father because we are all products and all from that same line of faith or love. So that the second thing that he explains is that he goes on and says, so then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham. The believer. Amen. And it. Goes on to explain why Israelites are also cursed in verse 10. He says for as many as are of the works of the law are under the case for it is written. Cursed is everyone that does not abide by all things written in the book of the Law to perform them. The laws that they had, that Moses gave them, they couldn't fulfill them. And gas is everyone who does not fulfill all. All is all. Then he says now that no one is justified by the law. Before God. It's evident because the Bible says he is quoting. This is an Old Testament. Does it show in your Bible when it's Old Testament? My Bible has it in capital letters. Does yours have it in capital letters? If it's a capital letter then it is lifted from the altar. This Habakkuk 24 the judge shall live by his faith is the Torah. That's why you can preach Christ from the Old Testament. But how do you think Christ was explained to the Jews? Or in those days they were using the Old Testament to explain the Christ coming of Christ. So these are all potential. So he keeps, he uses the Old Testament. But the we Christians, we are lazy so we don't go into the hotel. We just take the duty. Look, he says we are blessed. We are blessed. There's no time to waste. We don't have time to go to the Old Testament and waste our time there. You see, we just believe it. If we are moving, forgive all right cares is everyone who does not abide by all the things read in the book of the law that no one is justified by the law before God is evident for the righteous Manch are laid by faith. Again, that is a quotation verse 12. However, the law is not of faith. On the contrary, He who practices them shall live by them. Yet again another quotation, verse 12. Verse 13. Christ redeemed us from the law, having become a case for us. For it is written, cares is everyone whose hands on a tree. Amen. Christ swallowed up your case. What case is there in your house? What case is there in your family? What case is there in your background? Christ became a case for us. Amen. So that what will happen. There's fourteen in all, that, that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles. The blessing of Abraham I come to the Gentiles so that we will receive the promise of the Spirit through faith, Amen. So this vest is saying, it's as clearly as can be that the blessing of Abraham is intended for the Gentiles. Amen. So from now, I want you to be somebody who believes in the blessings coming to your life. Now, let me say something. Most of the things, most of the things that are blessings and that work, they take time, you see, when you look at your life. It's going to take. Time for selling blessings to work out. So in the end, it may be your children and your children's children who will take that experience selling blessings. You see, for instance, if you come to Christ from a selling background, you know you are right. Your life is already some way. I don't understand what I'm saying. Your life is some way. You are already busy. You have already learned how to quarrel. You get it? You cannot even stop quarreling. You are a wild publicator Every relationship you get into is talent by your past relationships true every marriage you. Have. Is Khaled, you understand when I say color coloring pencils are coloring your current relationships? Even when you see a good thing, you call it a bad thing, because you only know a bad thing. You see you only know something bad. So when even it is good, you say it is bad. Do you get it? So it's going to take time to recover you from your bad state. Alright, it takes time. So that is why things like prayer, tithing, do you get it giving offerings, it takes time for it to even reverse the effects. If you take some of you by now, you become wiser in life. How you should have studied hard in school, but you wouldn't study. When your father says learn, you won't learn. When your mother says go to school, go to your boyfriend's house, social fornication, abortions, nobody knows your real life, you get it. And in spite of all these, you now come to Christ. Now you want the blessings of Abraham. Now the place of everyone is coming to. Fall on a deep hole. That is, deep down we have to pour this blessing for a long time before we can reach ground level so we can start coming out blessing. So that is why you get it Doctor in our lives are so messed up that coming to Christ just begins the repair process and sometimes it is even our children who are going to see the 1st effects of a certain blessing. But you still have to following otherwise your children will be just as confused as you and me in a life. Are you listening to me? I have been paying tithes for 30 years. I started paying tithes 30 years ago when I was in ex mother school as a student. How it was I about said about. How come I forgotten my age, 16 years old, you get it. I was playing tight. In fact, you know why I knew that I was playing tight? Because my best friend, we did exams together. We did exam, she was doing exams, she was doing senior. She was ahead of it by two years and I was doing all of the shows. Did you have all of that? Anything. What do you call it? HHSC OK, High school studying. OK, So I was doing something like that. We have like using the British system O level and A level. I was doing A level. She was doing well. She did the exam. She didn't get the school that she wanted. She didn't do as well as she wanted to do. She didn't get at that time I had. Newly. Discovered the principle of piling that was I was 16 years old. You get it? Yeah. And so I sat down with her and I explained to her why she did not pass. I asked her what does she does She. Because I can remember, I'm just explaining to you, I don't know whether I was right or wrong, but the point that I'm saying I can remember having that discussion with her, she wasn't surprised at what I was saying. I said well it affect exam results. From that time, which would be like 1918, at least I can remember that by that time I was staying tight. So 1989 I was a student still because I became a medical doctor in 1989. So. Out of the 30 years that I must have been pain tight, at least at least nine to 10 years of that, I as a student I paid tight. So when I see people say they are students and they don't have jobs, when they campaign tight as a shape because tastes like prayer and tithing, there are things that over the years it will have an effect. It's true, it has an effect, You get it. So the blessings that come to our lives, there is nothing that happens. Quickly. There's suddenly doesn't have arrived. Have reversed. You've reversed everything. Even your character is sometimes not reversible. It's true you're preaching. Some Some people have no faith in life. You have no faith in a man. You have no faith in a woman. Based on your life experiences, You haven't seen a good person before. You have never met a trustworthy person. You don't know about it. If you meet a very good person, you treat a person like a bad person. Like it's that same type of person that is met again and he will receive that treatment and suffer for abyss. Maybe he or she doesn't know. Yes you get it. When I met my wife, when I got married, what are you expecting? You're expecting something negative that I, I said, I remember because she, she once used to say that no, that your father would not give them so much money. And so although he was a very rich man, he's still a very rich man, one of the richest man, but he would not actually give them. So when we got married, he was like, she was expecting that, you know, she would. I said, oh, here is all the money's here. Take it, even I put it there, she will not go there. I've not seen an invisible barrier like this before, but I see in the mind, you know that all your life, if the man has money, it's not something that will be available to you. So even when it is there, I say all my money is here. Take everything that you want. I don't mind. After today she doesn't go for it, so I have to take a gift to her. It's yes, they are all fantastic things that will come into life with I didn't listen to me. So I'm saying that these messages and the word of God, it works over the long term. When your father tells you, your pastor tells you, you may not believe it. You may think that, oh, just talk, talk, talk. They just want something, something. But if you look carefully, you see that what your father told you, what your mother told you, they are true. Recently I was watching television with my wife and somebody came on television. I can't. Remember, I wish I could. Remember. But it was a secular thing. And the person said, my father told me something and this and that other person, my mother told me. I remember Richard Nixon, you know, Richard Nixon, president of America. Yeah. During the war, I think the young people war in, in the Jewish War, where they took the Golan Heights. During that war, Israel was being overrun by the Syrian camps. They were coming to you, overrun them, and they were in a crisis. OK. And the president of Israel told her name. She called the president of America, President Nixon, at 3:00 AM in the morning and told him, she said, Mr. President, Israel is going to be destroyed. We need your help urgently. And President Nixon at 3:00 AM in the morning, took a phone call and he said he was talking, he was in the middle of his Watergate crisis. He was about to be cast out of being a president. He was about to use his presidents. And Henry Christinda had said let Israel bleed. Yeah. But he said as he was on the phone to his mother, to his, to the to this president of Israel, he remembered his my sister, his mother was sitting in front of him. He said his mother told him one day you will need to help Israel. His mother told me the stories of David and Goliath and this and that and said it was as if his mother was just one day you will be called upon to help Israel. You must do what you have to do to help. He said to us his mother was and then he just said to hold. I mean, what is it that you need? She said she had a list ready. I need these tanks. I need these guns. I need this, this, this. It has the largest airlift of ammunition, weapons and tanks since the Second World War. Within. 24 hours, all the tanks and everything that they did were airlifted from the United States of America into Israel and the whole world then run. So as we were watching, my wife said this thing is always happening. People always, my father told me, my father told me. My mother said this, my father, and she said we should. Talk to our children because. They always remember. See, my father told me this. My mother told me this. My father told me this. I remember. My father told me. I remember. My mother told me. You see as life goes by you. Will. Remember that? See, they said it. This is it. My pastor said this, my father said this, my mother said this. And you see that many of those things are true. So what else? That prayer is important. That pain tide is important. Over the years you will see. If you don't see today, they will come. You will see that over the years you will go up to realize that what was said was true. You should have. Obeyed it. You should have followed it, you know. So I want you to really what I'm sharing with you about the blessings of Abraham. It's not something that is going to come suddenly to change everything, but I believe that the blessings of Abraham are going to come of your life. The blessings of Abraham are many. Abraham was very rich, number one. That one is a nice one that we all love. Is it not true? Genesis 13 says and everyone was very rich. So the difference between. Jews. One of the reasons why Jews get richer more easily than Christians is because in the Old Testament and the Torah, which is Genesis, Abraham, they say Abraham was rich, Jacob was rich, Isaac was rich. None of them were poor. So they have to be rich. Money is good, that's all. But we meet Christians, we have it is harder for a rich man to enter heaven that they said that lay up treasures in hell, those type of places. It cancels out some of those things. So we have what you call in the English, in English and ambivalent or fluctuating approach to riches. I understand what I'm talking about. I did not be shouting. But we have that fluctuating approach to riches. But Jews don't Jews. The money is good, business is good. It's good to be rich. Our fathers were rich. The man was rich. As it was with Jacob was with. These are the three men who have changed the world. They were all rich. They must also be rich. Simple and short. Are you listening? So. What am I talking about? Abraham was rich. Abraham lived for a long time and had a long life. Abraham, I mean, he was 99 years old and his wife was 19. He had a child. He lived long after that. And then Sarah died and he married Keturah. And I have read I've had a Keturah was about 26 years old because he get back to. So many children with ketura a very loud. Beautiful girl, yeah. Yeah. #3 so he lived long #3 he survived all his marital. Crisis. Because almost every crisis in life is related to marriage. How many? Whether there are maritime crisis in Australia? Raise your hand if you have seen some before. There are so many stresses. We are all looking for love. Love is also not coming. You know why I will tell you? Remind me to tell you what is the meaning of the word limerance? OK #3 and #4 Abraham had all the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In. His life, except he had the gift of descending of spirits. Isn't it? He saw angels? Is that not one of the gifts? He had the Word of Wisdom which speaks about the future of the gift of prophecy. Word of Wisdom where he prophesied said that the children will be taken to canteen for 400 years. He spoke of the future. Had word of gift of faith. He spoke. He believed even though he was 99 years when he was having erectile problems, sexual impotence at the age of 99. Yeah, he was able to go and sacrifice his son, and God told him so. He had the gift of the Holy. Spirit healing of. He prayed for the king Abimelech and he was healed, but he asked him is the best important? Healing. But somebody prayed for someone. Abraham. He had the kids, huh? Which other one? He did. These are the gifts of these are the gifts that we have, gifts of faith, healing, word of knowledge. He knew. He knew things. You know what they said, because the word of knowledge send your spirit. He knew there were angels there. He knew that what do you call it? Sodom and Gomorrah was going to be destroyed. He knew all these. Things. Saved lot through those word of knowledge, word of wisdom, the standing of spirit, gift of faith, gift of healing, all of them. So the Holy Spirit was with him. He's a fair city. So he had. And that's what the Bible says, that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit. That's what that verse says. Galatians 314. Are you there? Yeah, miracles, miracle of Isaac being born, miracles, prophecy, wealth of wisdom. He had all these. Is it the wind or somebody's angry? He says in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we. Would receive the. Promise of the Spirit through faith. Amen. The next blessing that Abraham had was that his descendants were blessed. Amen. Which is, you know, at the end of the day, if you have the house, what is it for? Huh? Yeah, Maybe it's for your children. If you are able to have a mortgage free house and leave it for your child, it will be a blessing. If all of us had been given a house, even just a small apartment, your father was able to give you a small apartment without any mortgage or anything. Say, my son, take this in Chelsea, London, small studio flat or one bedroom flat. Your father will be able to give it to you. Will you not have taught you your life? Yeah. And you see, what you must realize is that much of the wealth that is in the world is passed on from generation to generation. It's not you, is that how do you say it takes a certain amount of time to find a mountain? So somebody has climbed a mountain up to 400 meters, then he gives birth at 400 meters. So when you grow up, your school is at 400 meters. Then you continue climbing 2200 then the guys 1200 then he gives birth 1200 and you are able to climb another 202,400 and the guys 1400 he gives birth to you another child 1400. Then you plant thousand extra because you really started setting 2400. Then the fourth of fifth generation comes to give birth at 2400 and before he realizes that 3600 meters moving and then another one comes and he gives birth that we are now 5 generations down. Every 20 years another group is coming and then he gives birth and that one is at two 3200 and he's able to add because now he has let everything he's able to add 2000 that is 5200. Then another one is able to add another 5000 because 6200 another one. He gives birth at six thousand 5200. He gives birth again at the height of 5000. He goes to school at the height of 5200. His school is at 5200. He gives the 2000 meters is at 7002. 100 if that's where he lives now, all the. Family live there, then he gives birth. Again at 7:00. 1200 and it goes to 9800. And you come along. So usually I. Have the blessing of Abraham and you are at Ground Zero or you are in the value. You see, I just let I. Said that you be started. Oh. You don't understand my message that. Is that is what many of about the truth about many of our situations. I don't understand. Lord have been paying. Lord I give up, Lord I do is what I do. Why? Why, Why? But many of us are going to give birth, and people are going to come after us and start their lives at a certain level, a certain foundation. They're going to move on backwards. Amen. And so the descendants become even more blessed. Whenever I was about to die, says he called all his children, Give them all gifts and send them away. You see, God give him the wisdom. Then he gave everything else he had to Isaac. But he knew they. Were proud with Isaac. So he called all of them and gave them, he said, good travel, travel, travel, travel, go away. So God. God. Gave him the. Wisdom to do things like that. People who come after him and be blessed. Isaac, he said something many of us don't say. He said I'm an old man and I do not know when I will die. Many of us do not think that way, that. I do not know. When I will die, me. I don't know when I will die. I may never get back home. Well, for me, but it's possible that I'm not. I will know which one. So I don't know. I don't know when I will die. There is when you think that way. I don't know when I die. Some things you will do because I don't know when I will die, but some of. You live like I know I will. Die when I'm 90. I know I'll die when I'm 80. I know I'll die when I'm 60. I know I'll die when I'm 70. You don't know when you will die, Isaac said. I don't know when I'll die. So come, let me bless you. Call this or you're my first one. Make some food for me that makes me happy. Let me blessing, blessings come from people who are happy, A frustrated man. Usually. Frustrates the people that are. That's why he asked me. He didn't want to fast. The people that want to fast when you speak. Blessing. When I finish eating, you get it. I'm going to speak the blessings. That's. Why? The person is angry. He can easily kiss you now many of us have been kissed that we don't know because a. Lot of. Cases are smoking without kiss terminology. They don't use the weather. They you never be this or I kiss you like when Jesus told a few tree no one will eat your food again. It's a kiss. That's all the Bible say. Wait, the thinking that Jesus had kissed. No one will eat. This tree, that's all, or your mother will. You will be tired. You will be tired in this life. You will be, you will suffer something you know that's I simply I took it before I realized suffering has attacked itself to your life. Are you listening? To me so the blessings of Abraham are manifold. There are many different blessings that have come come to the to Abraham all right. And so you must determine that that. Is your destiny. Your future is the blessings of Abraham. Did you hear me? Did I say that he survive or his marital? Yeah. I hear that. When Abraham said he was going to sacrifice Isaac after that his marriage broke. The Sarah was very, very bored with that. You never hear of. Just said that she died and went to bed. I hear you have serious adventure of Abraham going to sacrifice Isaac. What do you mean the only one child that I'm going to are going to kill him. Can you imagine what he would have said to Sarah when he saw her with the body of Isaac? The body of. Isaac. That he has killed. So I killed him this afternoon as I offered to God. These are. These are his goodness. I didn't imagine what would have happened to his marriage. So when Isaac told his father what happened and lifted the. Knife. I was just about to kill him. He didn't tell anybody what he was going. Yeah, there are some things you don't. Discuss with your wife. You don't discuss with your wife. Discuss it with your wife. You never do it. It will not come on even. Not even your wife. You don't discuss with anybody. A lot of things you discuss. Other some things you don't discuss. I've noticed that every time I want to give a gift to somebody and I discuss it, I don't give it again. Especially I don't give what I wanted to give. It's always changes because everybody has a different. Conviction every husband and wife. Let's give. Let's give 1000. Let's give 100. Person is not you. Person doesn't. Have the same feeling, Let's give our lives, let's not give our lives, Let's give everything, Let's, let's give something. Everybody is different. That's why one of the most dangerous needs to do as a minister of the gospel to get marriage. One of the most dangerous things is to link himself to anybody else. Because the convictions are. Different before the marriage. Was Oh yes, I. Believe. Oh yes, I want to realize that everybody has a different thing. Very, very, very interesting. But unfortunately because of sex. You believe what I'm saying? Because so that your child will start at another level. But most of us started at ground level. It's true. It started from Zealand underground. If you think of your children like a branded and Isaac children will start from another book will continue to get better. Amen. Stand to. Your feet. Just give yourself to the. Lord, and ask him. Say, Lord, I want the blessings of Abraham to be upon me. You may be seated. Now we have shared about the blessings of Abraham, but now? We want to look. At who is the man who receives the blessing of Abraham? If you read Genesis Chapter 11, Abu says Abraham. And Naho took. Wives of themselves. The name of Abraham's wife was Sarah and the name of Naho's wife was Milka. All right, the steady Sarah was born. She had no child. The steady 1 Tara took Abraham his son and loved the son of Heron his grandson and Sarah his daughter-in-law, his son Abraham's wife. They went out together from 4 of childies in order to enter the land that came of the winners of Heron and settled over. Study 2 The. Days of Tara were 205. Pharaoh died in Haram. Now the law said to Abraham, go forth from your country, from your relatives, from your father's house to the land. Which I will show. You and I will make. You a great. Nation. And I will bless you, and I will make your name great, and so you shall be a blessing. And I will bless those who bless you. The one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed. That's where we come, in all the nations of the earth. So Abraham went forth as the Lord hath spoken to him, and Lord went with him. All right. Now, when Abraham was 75 years old, he departed. From. Haram and Abraham took Sarah his wife and lost his nephew in all their possessions which they had accumulated and the persons which they had acquired in Heron, and they set out for the land of Canaan. Are you there? And Abraham passed through the land, as far as the sight of Shechem to the oak of Moran. Now the Canaanite was then in the land. The Lord appeared to Abraham and said to your descendants, I will get this land. So he built an altar there. Amen. OK, the first person who God blesses is the obedient person, someone who can obey God. Amen. All right, now that's a big question I want to ask you today. Can you obey God? How many of us don't pay our tithes sometimes? Can I have an honest reason of your hands? Sometimes. Sometimes I don't care. At least say you never pay ties before. Sometimes you don't pay ties. Yes. OK, so most of us do not pay ties regularly. Isn't it true? Oh, it's not true. Yeah. How many of us do not pray? As. Much as an hour every day. OK good. Now what you will realize. Hey man, you know you have to give me. A break for one second. OK, obedience, Obedience. You know, I could stay on this for a long time, but the truth is that you have to. Obey God. There's just. No other way, you get it? Yes, now. God. Cannot be seen and the effect of obeying God. Is not something that happens. Let's say suddenly you get it because you can't see him and he doesn't react like instantly. One pastor was having sex with Asha. Asha was a lady. He actually had a lady ashes. So he was having sex with her and as he was having sex with her nothing happened when he had sex with her everything seems to be wrong. So one day he was having sex with a girl and I think there was a there was a church service also coming up after sex time. So the girl I said this is because the girl very also I mean wicked person when she was tired. Of it or when? She had had a number when she came to say made a big trouble for the pastor. The pastor lost. His whole ministry. For that girl. But one day these are all she came to do 1 of the things she said she asked him that so. Don't you? Feel. But when you are preaching after what we have done, that's what she asked, do you understand what I'm saying? And then the pastor said she, she said that. The pastor said oh, the anointing flows even more. The anointing flows What? Even what? Now what? Is flowing, is the grace of God, the mercy of God, the means of God? But it does not look. As though it. Has believed. It does not look as though it has a. Almost everything. To do with God. Doesn't have an instant effect, so without faith. There is no aspect of. The Bible that you. Will obey. Because there is. Obedience to God There are two main things. One is this this factor. It doesn't look like it's powerful. It doesn't look like it changes anything. When you obey God today, nothing changes. Nothing will change. Nothing. Will change. Nothing will change but over time. Everything will change nothing. There won't be. Even one thing that will be left unchanged. That's what I. Want you to know you don't pay your ties. You don't pay your ties that will change. You won't lose your job You've read the Bible. I have a book that I've I've written why how tidy Christians become rich can become rich and fine people who don't have to come home. But over time you don't see don't pay tie their Devorah will come to be Boraki brother. I was promoted. Why? Don't pay tie, they say the counter. One and the partner one will come and eat whatever. I'm still strong. Nothing has happened to me. I'm very strong, stronger so far. I do this. If the anointing is more, I don't pray. God is still with me when I preach His dead. I don't pray in His moves. All those things are like that, but the whole of the obedience of God is like that. That's why when I was writing this timing book, I started to look at how long I have been painted. That's when I realized I have been painted for 30 years. And out of those 30 years, when dead, I was not working. I was only as a student. I had three times. You get it. Yeah. And it has had an effect gradually on my life. Rather don't close your eyes. Don't close that nobody. close your eyes one. I've come a long. Way for you to close your eyes. OK, OK, Amen. Are you listening when you obey? God. Since you pray, I think we change that. Maybe that you might even have a accident with your time. You may you. May be you may be get sick you pray when you obey God. You thought you had even more troubles and you joined the one girl. She had a boyfriend a lot of She was a very beautiful girl. So a lot of. Boys like her because just as. She. Obsessed to you? You were too beautiful when you were young. That's affected you. Everybody who passes by has plucked some of your foods. OK. What am I talking about? Oh, that's fine. You see the effect, but not initial. There are some of us ladies here. Over time, your life is a nervous wreck, confusion. It's not from an event that happened yesterday, last before this year. Over time, the humiliation of so many things makes you subway. It makes you subway to marry. Anybody who marries you is unhappy. Is, is, is. Back the wrong horse. So, opinions? I. Tell you. There must be something in you that is dependent on you to obey God. When you are like that. You will. It will lead to prosperity. It's true. I'm talking about the blessings of Abraham. When I when I. Obey when. I obeyed God, you know. God said I should wait for him. Look, my father told me he would not like his son to be lived from collections, from offerings. Did you get it? Yes. He would not like his son to live from offerings. But that's how I live. Everything I have is from offerings. And I'm I'm a pastor. At least I'm not ashamed of that. That's my way. And if I look off offerings. The money I spend is offering money. You get it. Bridge. But. When I started out, I didn't have anywhere to stay. Now, living late, there was nobody in the chair who could be a member of the chair and who could. Nobody had a car. The. Car The car that I was a. Car that my father gave me the first time I do a brand new car was a skillet. My father bought a car for me. Brand new, with their rabbits and everything. New. Fresh. Yeah. That's the first time I lost a student. And so that's the car that I had that was the only church member in the church where the car was your student myself. And I said that I would obey him. I heard God telling me. Give myself holy to my wife. Keep yourself to tell it to my way. Yeah. All my classmates, medical school, doctors, everybody left initially. It doesn't look like you have done anything right or wrong. Or is it? I'm obedient. What is invisible? And the effects of obedience are overtime. I'm telling you that's that's how it is. So that's how you see if you don't play tight, you don't pray, you don't read your Bible, you don't have your tight time, you don't live your holy life, None of those. Things you can't. See it tomorrow. The effect of it is not in 2009. Over time, I'm telling. You. That is why. Sometimes you find out that when God is doing miracles, He does for only one person. Have you ever wondered why Jesus would go? To a place. A lot of attitude of sick people. And you see only. One person and you heal the person. Now this. That's why I struggle so much to become a miracle healing evangelist or preacher. I didn't understand. You pray for people. A lot of them don't get if somebody gets it, one person gets it, One person. A lot of people don't get here. I struggled with God about. This I said like it's. Fake. You say? No this. Like the feeling is fake. It's not. Real. But if it was real, if it was genuine, everybody will be here because God is the one who's come to here. I couldn't. I couldn't find the answers until one day I. Went. To a place in Ghana called in Sabam Maximum Security Prison. When I got there, there were three sections, men, women, then condemned cells. Condemned cells are those who have committed murder and they have been condemned to death sentence to them by hand. They took me after they showed me there's a hole, they walk in it and then they pull the weather under 84 through some concrete hole upstairs to downstairs, and then you are dead. Hope you hope you die quickly. You get it. Yeah. When I went there, I felt so sorry. In my heart. And I wanted to. Release. Everybody from their presence. In fact, the guy who came to beat me, I don't know if his name was Abraham, he said. I asked him, what did you do? Why did you come here? He said that I killed somebody and then he was in the condenser. I said what did you kill? So I killed my son. He. Said oh, so I inhibited everybody. Else because of murder. Don't you know? Well, I don't know murder. He was holding his bubble, preaching. He was the leader of the Fellowship in the condenser. I wanted to release them, so when I came out I wanted to stand out at their prison, OK, I said. I declare together by the power of Almighty God, that their gates be opened and all. Those. Inside be released now in the name of Jesus. Do you think it can happen? Why can it not happen? There are reasons why the people are in there. There are reasons. There are little reasons why they are there and why they are there for life and for this time, for this time, for this time. It's not just something that. Happened and it's not something you can easily. Reverse no matter. Who you are either the. President, when he's giving pardon, he has to give old people, people with terminal illnesses. People have said over 30 years, people have said he has to look at all that they will be pardoning. That's pardoned 500 prison, thousand prison over 60 years, prisoners, over 50 prisoners were set for 30 years to test 1/3 of their sentence, half of their sentence. That's how he even, he cannot just pardon, but of course he can pardon anybody who wants to. But they will show him all the people that he should pardon, that he'll sign as he's. Going out of it or whatever. Suddenly some of his friends who need them. It's not easy to be sex free. That's why Jesus came so all the. People of the sickness is there even the. Day that I will die, the day that you will die. There is a reason I'm telling you it's not something you just come out of problems in your life as a sister. So you one day I was praying for people, Lord, I'm going to set them free because I'm a pastor. So I I care for people do. You understand? If you are not if you don't care for people, you can't be a pastor because people have problems if you if you don't care about people and. About. What they're experiencing if you don't cry for them and cry with them, you cannot, you can never be a real pastor. You have to care for the people from your heart so. I. Felt so much in my heart. For the people. One day I was praying, praying, praying God was not moving. And then then then I started to press a log where are you? Why are you not moving? And he asked me that who asked me to go and pray? I upset. Myself, so I should. Release them myself. Look at the trouble. I just quickly went back to the to continue my message. So there are reasons some of you please obey God for years you said they're starting like counter when you said they're starting like low cost, you said they're starting. Like. Vivora. You will not pay tides. You said they're starting like Caterpillar which can eat at your wealth. So, OK, so you go on for years and the Caterpillar to eat work slowly. So it came. Like, like, like that happens when I give up that I don't give. Nothing changes. It doesn't go up. It doesn't go down. The only thing that is affected by the credit crunch, that's all. The only thing that is real is credit crunch. God is not real. That's what you are concerned about, but you are not concerned about that. You obey God or you didn't understand. That's how. That's. How things are in your life. And you see, I can see as a pastor, the years will go by. The years. Will go by the. Years. Will go by you see that the all of the lives of our Memphis are like this, but sometimes with the pastors. We know the Memphis are not obeying the way but. We cannot do much and we cannot drive them out of the church, so we just stay with them. So that when we are smiling at you. In our head we are thinking that oh, look at what this person is doing. But at the point we. Don't even say it anymore. I don't know. We don't even speak anymore. We. Just smile with you and just allow you to. Be alive, but what is in our. Don't. Say what we are thinking because if we say it's like we are driving you away. Are you there? So obeying. God. You may think that is nothing. I obey. I don't obey. Nothing changes in my life. Some of you, even within this week you have committed communication. No problem, no problem. You continue to be there. Do you know what I'm saying? Saying that there is no God or is the same as saying there is no God. That's what the Bible says. The fool says there is no God. The fool who says that it doesn't matter, God doesn't matter. It doesn't. It doesn't matter. And you see us let this. Fool when you get. Married, we have to advise. You and counsel you to have sex now. Rather. You are jumping and killing somebody's life energy to beg you to do it. Are you listening? One day, three brothers went to play golf. They were going there. They were going to had to give up. Cost me a lot to come and play this. Ball I have. To. Promise my wife, I'll do this. I'll take it. Here, I'll take it. Here, I'll do this, the other brother too said me. Cost me a lot. I promise I'll have to buy this. I have to do this. The other brother and the brother. What did? This cost you I. Just asked. I just said, oh, I. Wanted to have sex, should I have sex or go and play? That's why I say that some of you, whenever you are married, we have to beg you really. Or when you are not married, you are talking around like a frog holding your life in other people's lives. Zip to us, not to me. So don't look at me. With some holy. Eyes. He's talking about. What is he talking about? You don't understand these examples of your face. Hallelujah. Are you listening to me? All right, So obedience, you know, the the way it is, the response to obedience is in the Bible because the recompense against sin is not immediate. Men's hearts are set to do evil. I want to tell you he wants Abraham the blessing. I mean, the first mention of Abraham comes with God telling him to do something which he did, how it would work out. It's time. That helps. But that thing is where the difference between people that's. Where you see them, that's where. It all starts. Your ability to obey. So I I. I want to say. God will not be telling you go out of your country, do this or do that, but. He has told. You certain things, How many? Rather, there are certain things that he has told you, Yes. And one of the things, one of the things is to pay tithe. You see, tithe pay is the sort of life. You see, the Bible says that you cannot serve God and. Mum, you didn't say you cannot serve. God and the Devil. The alternative? To God, it's not the devil, it's Mama. I believe that the alternative to God is money. Money is the other. Person who controls. US. All through my. Life. I have seen, forget about devil, devil fetish, whatever. The real alternative to God is money. Money. So if money is your God or any form of a God to you, then expect. Your blessings from. Money. Expect God. Money to heal you. Money to look after you. Money since you said it. What makes you get up early in the morning? What makes you both trouble? What? Makes you do things. What makes you say I'm not going for homecoming? What makes you say I will not do this? What makes you say I will come I will not do it? Spending money is the greatest control about devils, and that's why the. Devils. Are. Very happy to conveniently hide behind money, they sit. Behind. The gold and the silver, the whole world is being manipulated as if it's being controlled by money, by actually devils. That's what it is. So. The. First, disconnection from that power is tiny. Is the first. Disconnect person that me I've been paid for since I was a student and I remember. That I played that. Because of the advice I gave from my friend sister. That's what makes me remember. So you lose the powers. The power is lost Now when God tells me that, OK. Leave your profession. That you studied hard, which you know you're going to answer. You see again, he's disconnecting you from another power at the higher level and another level and another level and another level. So he keeps disconnecting you and bringing him closer to himself. But the most basic early basic traditional disconnection that you have is tidy, where you. Believe what the typical. 27th 30 says that the type belongs to the Lord, it is God's mind. So when that basic one has not. Happened in your life? Then you are so basically connected to devils and connected to the wealth, the wealth system and controlled by money and not by God. It's the most basic when I find a. Christian that does not pay tax, and it is. Even that's one of the first signs of backsliding. Not pay tax 100. Person who pays ties is. Backsliding as he stops his paying ties. It's one of the. One day there. Was a sister but she didn't want to accept it so I said to her that your husband I said oh he's not paid for some time and I said look your. Husband's first line. And today he's not in the church like this was a person who his his. Products in the. Church are. Pastors not that he is a father, his products are pastors and he's he's off when of five you're deeper, but the person was not tired. But again, I said that you can. Laugh at it if you want. My. Blessings are so much that I cannot. Say that if I wish as a pastor, that I could even share with you. Some. Of the things that God has blessed me with. As. I've been serving Him and following Him. Never in my wildest imagination would I have been able to organize for myself what God has done for me as I've been serving Him. I know, Master. I've I've, I've been there. I've been there where I see people and you wish that they will remember to give you $100 or $50. I've been there. I've been at that stage of my idea. I am in a stage where if I lose $100, I wouldn't even. I wouldn't even know that I've lost it. I've been there for. Where I work and I'm looking for that money, that somebody. Has dropped. If or. Open my eyes to. See something? Before. Have you been there before, Lord? Bless me today. Bless somebody 50 lbs and let me take it today, but it has never happened to me. But I I agree with that brother who has it has happened to me before a lot of money. He's not a lot that he's always able to get money from the ground. If I have, I think that it goes to happen. Prayer. Prayer is like that. If you like. Don't pray. Nothing will change in your life if you preach it like. Don't pray and preach. Nothing will. Change. Don't wait on God. Nothing will change in your ministry. It's true. It's stop how it is. Don't pray, don't pray this week, next week. Nothing will change over time. Over time. The one that I learned some of his prayer like he. Was he was. He was sharing. He's 74 years old, he was telling. Us, he said. The last. 10 years. He has given face of $170 million yesterday. That's the one, 70 million. The blessing of people is so rich. It's possible. And one. Of these is. Passing some large is a blessing of people. You, you may not know He believes in prayer. Prayer. I did all these things. Now what I'm. Saying is that if you like to be there. Don't pray that they will check you. Isn't it you can be predication, abortion. You are taking pills, loops, everything. You are having them. You are in the church the 1st I cannot. See inside your vagina. To see. The Bible says that a man had a wedding and he had 10 virgins. Isn't it 10 virgins who were coming for the wedding all of. Them were virgins. And it's not easy to get a virgin these days, but we're all virgins that would easy time when virgins time when they were all virgins, 10 virgins. We're all dressed in the same room. They all have lamps. But the difference the same thing little which made a big difference juicy. So it's a little thing that you see that if you change everything. So my friend, so you see, my brother, my sister, you need to obey the Lord. You need to decide like Abraham, if you want Abraham's blessings. What is it that God says? I am going to try now we. Are fastest even if. You don't obey. We will still love you. We'll still see you with it. We'll see. How is it? When trouble comes, you call us. We will come. We'll come and sit there. Let's pray Jesus. Name. But we know that the prayer will not be answered. You know what I'm saying? Because The thing is more than it's not, it's not just what you calling us. You see, when I went to that prison, I wanted to release everybody. But you learn the three that the things that are happening, they they, they go way beyond one day. One day there was a certain lady. She was a powerful lady. And how do I say this story? Her life ended and she. Died in a very. You know, and I felt very, very, very sad when she died. Very, very sad. In fact, her, her son was describing to me how the body was. I felt so sad as he was describing, but you see, that's all that you know is a very unfortunate. Then one day, my mother, who knew? That Lady. Just passed the comments and I said hey, she described how this lady went for somebody's husband and destroyed. Their. Their family took the man. And. That family was disintegrated by this woman. I mean, she she she was not relating it to the woman's death, but it was just something that she just just mentioned as history. But the guy said, hey, see, many times we. Do not connect. This and this. This. And that I'm not saying that that happened to her, but you see, you don't know. You don't know that's actually. Disintegrated somebody. 'S house. Maybe a disintegration has also come to you. You. Get it? What I'm trying to explain to you, my brother, my sister, is that Christianity, that is a God who behaves. I think he is not alive. I said there he said God will be face. I think this is dead and down but. He says it is where my. Hand is not shuffled my. EAR is not closed. That I cannot. See. That I cannot stretch out my hand. But it is. It is to allow us to walk the walk of faith. And obey him and obey. Him and obey Him and obey Him until the very end. And every time you obey God, you come up with something else that you have to obey that is a little more and a little more and a little more and a little more and a little more. Hallelujah, so and the blessings. Of Abraham, the blessings of Long. Life, the blessings of riches the. Blessings of family. Survival of marriage, the blessing of of your descendants, the blessings of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are to come upon you. It will start with obedience. I was sitting. By a certain. Man 2 days ago and he told me, he said I have seen angels many times. The first time I saw. An Angel was. I fasted for 40 days. The Angel came to me and the man told me, said I have. I own 300 houses. Yeah, 3. 100. Houses one man in America, a pastor, he said. Now I have only 46 houses. Some of them have, Yeah, he said. The first. Can he pass the 40? Days a night maybe, when he pass the 40 the Lord. Ask if the Lord has asked if the first forty days a night. You may also see an Angel. I've never fasted 40 days before. Maybe I've not added to? Fast 40 days. And you went fast. 40 days at. Night you can easily die, so be careful. OK, Are you listening? I wish you would. Start to obey God. How can? You obey God. Many of you here you are not even at the level where we really talk about they got to be a pastor. You see, one day I went to a certain town in Europe and this town was full of I went to the church and all I was there, I realized that I could not share anything about working for gold. You know why? Because of the people that were in the church. Look as I was sitting at the back. He was training the people. There were 3 ladies that were leading the worship. So who are those? That one is a. Prostitute. That one is a witch. They should be. These ones are witches. These are witches. These are prostitutes, which is a prostitute something. One of them even came. To give a testimony right there. Yeah, she gave a testimony. She was at work, a prostitute, and a second man came and he was pumping, pumping, pumping. And then suddenly he had a heart attack or something. He collapsed and he fell down. And she grows up in the name of Jesus. So with such testimonies and such people, you get it. We cannot go further. So then I asked the pastor. I said, look, why don't you let these girls stop the prostitution? Why don't you let the girl he. Said look, the kind of money that they earn from the prostitution, there is no job they can do. That. Comes everywhere near. What they what they get from. The prostitution and he told me that every lady that he does has done some of that work before. And he said some of. Them have come. He was telling about some Nigerian ladies that have come. They have cut their pubic hair and needed pushing within them. Done some covenants, other things pay $50,000. They have to pay the $50,000 back and other things before they are free from that covenant. You know all kinds of things, so you. You look at it and. You say wow, you know, I mean we cannot yet we have to talk about breaking of that covenant because they come out of it. Can you break that covenant and come out of it, see if people will not? Don't look at it straight. Many of us are more than prostitute. When you count the number of people that you stick with different ways and times. Maybe they will not. Give you. Cash, but I'm kind you are playing. We cannot. Go further to talk about. Other things because the basic obedience. To God. Is not there true or not true? Is what I'm saying true or it's not true? So God wants us to grow up, Amen, and start to obey Him in some of the most basic things that are there in the. Way of world, that's why that's. What? I'm talking about tithing. We're not talking about even being a partner of him or even giving any special offering. Yeah, I prefer, I want you to pay your tithe to give any special offering. I prefer that you. Pay your time. The only reason why we take special off because people don't pay time. If you were to pay your time, we never take any special offering. Maybe we would. But we wouldn't even need much. Remember, we went to a child. They don't even. Take off, it took three days. They didn't take off it. It will be 90 something percent. Everybody pays that and if. They give. One off me the. Highest you have ever seen before. From a communication like that so gathers and sisters obedience to God is very very important and I want. You to start to obey God. In the book Basic, God says. Go. Go, come. To church. Come to. Church. F-12 is a struggle. How will your? Children. Start from the level of. 1400. When they have not learned the culture. Of coming to church. How many of you have got children? What are you teaching your children? If you don't go to church regularly. If they never see you praying, do you think they will ever learn how to pray? That's why I said. That you see, you are going to. Let your children start also from zero. That's. As you are. At 0, starting from zero, Yeah, I'm also. Going to start from zero. Yeah. Because they never saw money praying. One day I was speaking to a certain young lady who was the doctor of somebody who was getting divorced and surprisingly the lady, the lady of the young girl, was on the side of her mother. Nowhere. They are divorcing. The children choose. Which? Side but surprisingly that the daughter was on the side of her husband and my mother doesn't pray, she doesn't read the Bible, said the only time I've seen my mother read the Bible since she's going to preach. She's only watching films. The only time I've seen her read her purpose when she's going to preach. So. You see, you see, the children are. Watching me, they've never learned that mommy prays, Daddy prays. And they will grow up and they will say, like I told you, President Nixon, he will say, my mother said, my father said my mother always told me my father. Said see and they don't. See it in you. So we always went to church. We always went to church together on Sunday. We always went to church. No, no, always pray. My father always prayed. That's how you train a child. Training is different from teaching. Stop talking and watch open, repeated Mommy does this, Mommy does this, Daddy does it, Daddy, Daddy, mommy, daddy. But I don't see anything new from you. I see something. Else. How would they? How would they start from a higher level of where you started from? How would this be better when they didn't see it also that you allow your children to come to there so that even they will take the pastor as their father? Yeah. So they'll take the. Pastor as their father, the pastor they check because the father that they can look up to. Are you listening to me so. My brother. Obeyed God. Is very. Very important. Amen. Stance your feet and pray that God will give you the spirit of obedience.
