Welcome to track number one of the word of my patients. This morning I want you to pray. Amen. That the lung would open your eyes to see. I'm sure Apostle was wondering why did he arrest me? Why I'm I'm still searching. I I want to know. I want to find out. I want to be sure that I I will be able to do exactly the reason for which he apprehended me. Otherwise, you live here and 30 years down the line, 40 years down the line, you thought you had finished your ministry, only to realize at the end of the day that for the reason for which you were arrested, you never met it. But on this mountain, you can pray this morning and call upon God as a Lord. Help me open my eyes, give me inside, show me a dream, give me a vision, something, Lord, that I may apprehend the reason for which I was apprehended. I want you to, from the desk of your heart, to lift up your voice and talk to God this morning. I believe that the Lord will show you something. The Lord will give you a direction. The Lord will give you an insight. The Lord will give you a wishing, a dream. The Lord will help you, but you don't work in vain. You don't do something that you're not supposed to do, that you do what he has asked you to do and follow his vision, follow the course that he has set for you. So at the end of your life and at the end of your ministry, you'll be able to say without possible. Now you 2. You have finished your course. You have kept their faith. Mark has Shaker Liberal Saniata only have your voice somebody and pray Marco shattaya Lobo CK le battaya on the way ahead, the way ahead, the way ahead is not so clear. But today the law shall shed some light onto your path. Mal toshi khala kataye means welcome to you, for his words shall be a lump onto your feet and a light onto the path that you are going. Marco Shiale, that I may apprehend, that I may apprehend to God the reason for which I was apprehended. How shall I get here? Some of you apprehended maybe four years ago, five years ago, 10 years ago. He lay something in your heart. Come and do his ministry. And this morning you can pray and tell him, Lord, I know I've been arrested. I'm supposed to go help me roto solikite rolobo shikalibe payan derima sofi kalo kose Mayan derimaya oh PPPP Mayan derima.

Lift up your voice and pray. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Our support continues, he said. Verse 13. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet. Amen. This morning I want somebody to pray to remove every deception in your life. Because sometimes as people finished a Bible school like this, they think they have finished, they think they have now arrived. Sometimes they go out there to do the work of the ministry. They begin to think that they know how to do things better than their overseers because they have learned certain things. Our possible have been in ministry for some time. And he could say, certainly I know that I've not yet laid hold yet. It is just the beginning. I suggest the beginning. So I want you to pray this morning. And so every doubt and every deception shall leave your mind. If you are deceived, you cannot do well. If you think that you have arrived as you go out, you cannot achieve much. But if you have a mind like apostle, Poor hands. But one thing I do forgetting what lies behind. Forget all the things that we have learned so far. There are greater things ahead of you. May you press on. Lift up your voice, somebody. Oh, lift up your voice, somebody. May every deception, may every deception live your life. May you not suffer at the hand of Satan's greatest weapon, deception, thinking that you have already obtained. No, there's more to learn, more to know, more to accomplish, more to embrace. There's more, more to see. May your eyes be open when Satan takes you up onto the pinnacle of the temple, made-up in the sea, when it shows you the glories and the riches of the world. May you not be deceived. When it gives you something small, may you not be deceived. Lift up your breath or praise somebody. It is just the beginning. We are not yet at the end. Marsha Talaba. Oh, thank you, everyone. Yeah. Thank God for your life. Thank God for how far he has brought you. Mashi, Alabama. Nico Sondola, Boshi Kalabama. Thank you. Help me, Father. Hallelujah, shall we please? Take our seat. We want everybody to be seated. No movement, please. We are about to start and it's a blessing to be here. Please, I'm waiting for you to be seated and then we are starting. But we are blessed and we are privileged. Is everybody in to start with everybody? Is everybody in who is not here? Where is Soludari? Where is Joshua? Is everyone here? Where? Where are the rest? Upstairs or what? Everybody is here. They should come. Joshua, quickly, quickly, is everyone here now? OK, good. We thank God for this morning. It's a privilege. We are blessed to be here and I believe that by the time we leave this place, we'll be going back with an impartation. Amen. Well, this morning we want to start right away. We thank God for your lives and all that God has done for us. We are privileged and we are blessed to have our own Father, our principal Bishop and thefu. To. Minister to us this morning a man who is anointed, who loves the Lord, follows the Bishop and is the right person to be a blessing to us this morning. Shall we rise to our feet as we welcome Bishop and Thefu to be a blessing to us? Hallelujah. God bless. You may be seated. Hallelujah. Right? The first thing is that you must sit in such a way that you can be seen. All right. Those of you here, I don't think it can be seen. Beira Letour, that's why don't you come here. All right, Bishop is going to come at a point. Amen. And I believe that this is going to be a life changing camp. I am very, very grateful to the Bishop for coming up of this camp with you guys. Just before you step out there, there's another blessing. All right. And are you moving, brother? Are you moving? So move. Move, please. OK. Yes, Yokumenza. And you also must move. Then some of you guys there wonder me, I mean said so that it can be seen. I don't remember. So you can just push one child and you can sit here. Emmanuel, Abemeva and Evans, Who is sitting here? Yeah, I think that even behind so far, is that where you're going to stand? You can't stand anywhere straight. You don't want to go far so that the students should be in front. This is the best. Listen, no, but I think you guys can sit down there and then you are seen. Tessie, move, move, move, move, move, move to the corner. Is that is that AC or his fun? Sorry. OK, right. Everybody must have your tack on. OK. So you must be excited, you must be eager, you must show eagerness. I getting that you must show eagerness. You must, you must show that you want to be blessed. Do you get it? What are some of the things that show that you don't want to be blessed? You are not eager sleeping your name. You get it. When Bishop is ministering, not Anteria has given a break. Don't get up. This is what I'm saying. We should we should be real soldiers that have come. Put off your phones, please. Please. How about you put off your phones? All right. Have you put off your phones? No, take out your phones and put because sometimes you think you have put them up, but it's it's not OK. OK, Do not sleep. Don't be having on the side discussions, conversations. Have you put off your phone? Do you get it? Be eager. Receive, respond. Do you get it? Hey, Bishop wants questions to be asked. Ask questions. What do you think? All right, because I believe that this is the crowning moment for your training in the Bible school. Amen. I get what I'm saying. Is everybody around? I'm just waiting for everybody to be seated. Just begin to speak in the Holy Ghost. Robo kamasaka mende Sheikh dabi le Moshe kala Vasante. We worship you, Lord, bless you. What an opportunity, Lord, to be in your presence. We give you praise, hallowed be thy name. Hallelujah. Hallelujah for the Lord God Almighty Ray. Hallelujah. The. Ready. The. Let the blessing and ask him to speak to you at this time and a few moments that we shall be at least come speak to us. Oh God, wisdom, understand, revelation inside your castle and light help. Our Lord Holy Spirit, we thank you for your help and your friends. We thank you for the Bishop, for your grace upon his life. Oh God, thank you. We ally, we bless you, and we thank you. Thank you for your help. I shall start to speak to your people in the name of Jesus. Amen. Put your hands together by the Lord, Amen. Be seated. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. Well, just to share a few things with you before the Bishop comes, and as introduction, I'd like to share with you the last ways of a father. Fathers are very important people in our lives. Hallelujah. Amen. And what they say can change your life. Amen. What they say can actually change the course of your life, positively or negatively. Hallelujah. And that is why the Bible encourages us to Anna Farish, Hallelujah. Because even though your father might not have looked after you, but it was through his effort that you came into the world. And especially if you are a male child, do you get it? If you're a male child, what you must understand is that your father's role was Crucia. Amen. All right. There are two chromosomes. Chromosomes are the, the, the, the particles that form the genes. All right. And how do you call, do you call access chromosomes or whatever you know? So there are two, there's an X and then there's AYA woman has two of the XXXA man has 1X and 1:00. Are you getting it? So when a man and a woman come together, depending on what they, each of them brings to the table, because the father has to bring one to the table and then the mother must also bring. So when they sit for negotiation as to what are we going to produce, it is very important, Amen. And especially if you're a male child, it's almost like your father has to veto the negotiations. Amen. I get what I'm saying because when your mother brings the table an egg, do you see and encourages your father to also bring an egg? You will become a woman, but your father come veto. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We don't go sit and meet them cheaters, do you see? So he has to veto and bring a wine. And once a wine appears, he become a man. So what I'm trying to explain to you is that you are saying your father didn't look after you, so he can't instruct you, he can't advise you, I mean, and all that. But you should know that actually the math that we are using to speak as a man has been made possible by his negotiation skills and the use of his veto powers before you came into being. Hallelujah. So the point I'm trying to make is that we have been in this school for four years. We have gone through lectures, lecturing, examinations, prayers, past tense oral exams, comes soaked in videos, messages, hearts, real rotation, all kinds of things been appointed, giving certificates. But just before we step out into the field, the Father that God has given to us a ministry, the Bishop has guarded us for his last words. Just before we go, just before we go. I get it. But before he gives those last words, I want you to understand that those words are very important for your life. They are very, very important for your life. Amen. My Son attained to my ways. Incline thy years to my sins. Let them not depart from Thy eyes. Keep them in the midst of the heart. For their heart, life to them that find them, and medicine, medicine to their flesh help. So what the Bishop is going to say here, The first attitude that I want us to have is that we must attend to what? We must attend to the wets. What does it mean to attend? When do you go to a restaurant and you sit down, you are hungry and you sit down, then somebody comes and that person is called a restaurant attendant or a waiter who comes to wait on you. Do you get it to take your menu? But in taking your menu, he has to listen carefully. Amen. Because if you say you want one tongue soup, do you get it? It brings you lobster. Lobster soup with beans. What a shock. You may not be happy. So when he or she stands there, you'll be attending, attending to you, waiting. Do you get it? So it's an, it's an, it's an attitude of what is it that you want me to hear? Because somebody can be speaking, but your mind will be somewhere else. So when the Bishop stands to speak, he's a Bishop. Why have you gathered us here? And what is it that you want me to hear? I am all yes, So we must be all yes. Do you understand? Be all yes. In other words, every aspect, every being, every soul. We are going to listen for our spirit, our souls, because what he has gotten to tell us is life for us and medicine. Medicine to our flesh, medicine to our soul, medicine to our spirit, medicine to the challenges that we are going to have as we go into the ministry. We can receive those. You know, we can leave this place with a package of medications because the last ones of her father are the most important ones. There is no father who when is about to to die, we'll call his children and line them up 1 by 1. And I'm going to show you some fathers and what they said to their sons just before they left and we'll tell them a look. As I'm going, I want you to realize that it's very important that every morning you brush with it. Promise me. Promise, promise. Put your hands under my thigh and promise. Is that what the father would say? I get made the promise me that after I've gone, you wash your clothing. You will not be wearing, you know, dirty clothing. Promise me that you you clean your room. Now all these things are also important, but they are not the most important way isn't because the man is just about to exist. There are a few more a few more breaks. The break that is, is level 20. Even when he called you, you see, when he called you, by the time he was able to lift himself, this insist properly being held and all that 1010 of the brothers gone, for example, 10. He cannot afford to use those 10 breaths on brushing your teeth, you know, washing your dishes, you know, and all that. Yeah, So that is the attitude that we need to have at this camp. This camp is a different camp. When Bishops sense here to open his mouth, immediately we are like, Amen, Nothing shall drop. We shall not allow. How many of you have realized that sometimes you are so hungry and then they sell you food. You, you, you, you eat. Then as you are eating something false, either on the table or to the gown, then you leave it. It's as if that you have not seen it. You see. So you continue and when you finish you, you read. Even though you are finished, you are not full. You see one, but then you have a look at that thing. You do get it, and then you pick it. Now you blood and now you add it. Anything that will drop today, we shall take it. Anything, Anything that will drop today because we cannot afford to leave anything behind. Amen. That's the attitude. That's the attitude that we need to have. Amen. My son attained to my waist, inclined the years to my sins, inclined the years, inclined the years. I got nothing. Now you see there are certain animals whose protective main protective weapon is yeah hearing and so they tend to have big ones like rabbits. Is that also because see the yes serve as antennas they have to pick pick different sounds, sounds of things that they can eat you see, and then sounds of their enemies. Is there an enemy around? They depend on it to survive. Do you get it? So I'm sure that when they are come, they feel secure. I'm sure their years will be flap down, but in normal life to survive and to move around to make sure that they they kill and they are not killed. You see the years are always up straightened. What what town is moving? Why is the direction the years are inclined? So why do you sit down here today, see this two years, It's like this not the time for you to be whispering something to somebody because by the time you finish that something as fast. Yeah, often when you sit in the service and preaching is going on and you tend to speak to somebody, by the time you come back you have made something and kinder ears. Tilt your ears, tilt your ears. To my sins. What I'm saying total attention, focus to pick all the sounds. Amen. Let them not depart from thy eyes. So what we hear today is going to be, we are going to focus on what you know, how, how, how is it possible for something not to depart from your eyes? You must continue to look at it. You must continue so the word of God that God is going to give to the Bishop for our lives today. We are not going to look at them at this camp store them somewhere and then it's finished. But there are there are ways that we are going to go to consult, focus on as long as we continue in the ministry so that we can see what was it that was said. I want to look at it again. And that's why you asked to take good notes, Amen. We have to go back to them. One of the things is that we often write notes, but we never go back to them, Amen. And that lists this particular thing, the fact that we don't go back to list to the next point. Keep them in the midst of your heart. What we are going to hear today must not remain on paper for as long as they remain on paper. The benefits may be not as impossible, but if we can keep them, hide them, stall them. Hey, man, now when you you have your computer and then you, you open your, your, your word, you know, document. You can, you can, you can store different word documents. Is that also so this one is prayer. This one is fasten. This one is letters from your beloved. This one is, you know, all right now, today at this camp, you must open another folder to stop. In your heart, in your heart to stop everything that you are going to hear today. Amen. Hallelujah. What is just in your mind will not benefit you. It is what has sunk in and it's deep that you can draw on that will benefit you. Hallelujah. So what we are going to hear today must enter our hearts and for it to enter our hearts, it means that our hearts must be prepared, felt. Hallelujah, like the Prophet, Hussain said. Breakdown thy fallow ground and get it ready for planting. Amen. We must get our hearts ready. It's important because we can block our hearts to what we are going to be told and there are many reasons for that. One of the reasons is familiarity is that we have heard it before. Did you get it? So what? What we are hearing is something we have heard before. Is that? Oh, OK, Not be anything. Listen, when he moves on to the next point, then I'll pay more attention. Hallelujah. But for me to repeat the same thing to you again, it's not grievous. It's for your benefit. Actually, what benefits you is what you are told over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Yeah. Is that not how children learn? That's how they learn. You see, throughout the whole Class 1, every day when they come, they say the teacher will point and say, this one is called ah. Everybody say ah, everybody say ah. Everybody say, ah, it's finished, we'll go tomorrow we come. The teacher comes. This one. What is this? No, there's some of the children say they will just say something. No, no, I said this one is called like that. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one. Now we come to one. This one is one. This one is 2, this one is 3. Look at it. We are on it for a long time. When we come up, we point. When the teacher points on 27, this, this seven. No, no, no, no, not 7 is 2. But as the teacher repeats over and over and over and over, these same children are able to recite effortlessly, effortlessly the alphabet and count from one to 100. My little girl, she's, she's, she's five years plus, she can count 200. She's going to say, wow, I can imagine the work that the teacher has done. So if you begin to hear what you think and you see there are different, there are different degrees of hearing what you think you have heard, you will be surprised that you have actually done heard. That is why the scripture said that he that yes, let him hear what the story he's saying. In other words, have a certain type of ear before you can even hear what is being said. Look out of a certain type of hearing. Even though you thought you have heard, you have really no head. Amen. You see then also revelations. There are different levels of revelation. How many of you were surprised when at the homecoming, which I've said I have been preaching for my book Loyalty and disloyalty. Do you get it? Yeah. And, and the anger of which he came and the revelation, did you see? So the same thing that he's saying, but another dimension, another dimension which we have not heard. So the way to let the thing enter your heart is for you not to have a spirit of familiarity. Did you get it? But it's like, it's like open your mouth and I am ready to swallow everything that is coming. Is it powerful? Amen. So we must open our hearts to be filmed. How many of you are ready to be filmed? Hallelujah. Attend unto my weights, and climb their years unto my seeds. Let them not depart from the eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. Then we shall receive life. We need life as we are going on. We need life, and the life is in the Word of God. Hallelujah because the Word of God is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is life. In him was life and the life was the light of men. Hallelujah Are you getting that? There are things that already before we we start the ministry, they are dying for some of you, certain behaviors, certain attitudes, certain beliefs. You see already I'm killing your ministry. You have not been started. You got it during this camp. Life is going to come. Those areas are going to be pregnant. There's going to be a preckening of those things. Wow, how you getting it God told one of the churches he said hold fast to that which remains which is about to die. I I got in that so there are certain things that are about to die. But when we hear the ways that the Bishop is going to give to us, which indeed is the word of God, we shall be blessed, Hallelujah. We shall receive light and we shall receive health. Health is just medicine. Health is solutions. When without malaria, you need a solution. When we have malaria, the medicine is just solution. Solution is an answer. You need something to solve that problem. So the ways that we are going to hear at this come are going to offer solutions. Questions are going to be answered in our minds, directions are going to come, wisdom is going to come, understanding is going to come. Inside is going to come. Healing is going to come. Healing encouragement is going to come. The spirit of fear is going to be cast out of us because some of you, you are harboring a spirit of fear. It's like, hey, what is going to happen? Did you get it? No, because now you are no more student. You have been given a certificate. Hands have been laid on you. Do you see? Even you have your posting. So the game has started. Now I get me. Yeah. And you can easily be suffering from what the Israelites suffered from when they were at battle with Philistine. And Goliad stood up. Do you get it? And they were afraid. The camp of Israel was afraid and the Bible says that they shouted for the battle. You get it. So. So they will come. No, because when we shout, you have to now enter and begin to do battle duty. But there was a lot of fear in the camp. But they pretend I see that they feel us not there. So don't that then when they see, yeah, they shut up on the battle. Are you gonna do that? Yeah. So, no, I know. I know. Some small fears. Will it work? It's a PNC after one year. Will it? But as the words of the father comes, you see, the Father is aware of that and he knows that. His words can be held. So he says attend to them. A kind of yes, let them not depart. Hide them, hide them. Don't don't let this well test drop off. Don't trample on them. Don't just cut them away. Don't disregard them. Are you getting that? But have a certain attitude. Amen. And it goes, you know, I mean, this applies to every word that we have had as we have been in this school. Yeah, if you have a certain attitude of keeping them, meditating upon them, God's words, God's revelation that he has given to you as you have been in this school to work out. So as the West come, when Bishop is preaching to us, the spirit of fear will run away and to run away and you'll be encouraged and motivated and charged. May you be motivated and encouraged in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. So that is the first point. I am talking about the last ways of a father. And the first point is that have the right attitude #2 Examples of last West of Paris, the first example Abraham, Abraham to his servant. Who was that servant? Iliasa, Damascus, Genesis, chapter 24. Amen. And Abraham was old, or even even even before that. Even before that, God to Adam. Genesis chapter 2. Hallelujah God to other. That's the first example of the Father, the last ways God has created the heavens and the created animals, herbs, trees, all kinds of things and then handed them over to Adam. Amen to tent look after name them and all have dominion. Eat everything that you want. Adam, do you understand what I'm saying? Say yes, Lord. Now just how the Lord was standing to go, He was tending to go there, but but just as you are about to leave, there is one more statement. You have heard a lot in this school. You have heard a lot to the textbooks. You see these Sunday services, Tuesday services, conventions, soaking in of cramps from lectress, from senior pastors, bishops, huh? But just just before, just before you step out and go to Kumao and go to where Sam Curry, KJV, Dambai Akumadan. What do you ask? Elorin Draboso Akure Catacrachi Just before, just before, just before you see. Come, come. So God bless you. Done well. Been in the school four years. Give your certificates, you know. So what are you going to do? Damn by so go but but but but but then you 10 one more thing, one more thing. This is the essence of this company. One more thing, when, when, when the Lord called a Bishop many, many years ago and gave him a ministry. In the fulfillment of that ministry, He has called many people to do different things. You are one of those people. They have given many instructions, but just before you go to do what he has asked you to do at where? Down by down by the. Wait, one more thing. It's it's important for you to stand still. It's important. You can't say, Oh, OK, I've had enough. What else? I've had enough. We'll be here. All right. And some scriptures, is it? That's how your attitude can be. You look. And even as he, he's speaking his life. OK, So. So, so no. Yeah. But you come and you stand and you put your two hands at your back. So. OK, please. What else? And even when you ask any other thing. So go to other Oh yes, yes, yes, because you have talked to a lot of things. Yeah, right from Genesis 120. So half dominion, half the dominion. Amen. Replenish the earth. Oh huh. But just before the law changed, Adam tent goes and stopped him. One more thing, go back the system and the law commanded, and the law God commanded, the man saying of every tree, of the every tree of the garden, that means really it. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day that doubt me, yes, that doubt it is there of that shall surely die. One more time, Adam. Eat everything, drink all, kill everybody. You are at your disposal. Everything. You got it. No, no, no. Come, come, come, come. Come. Come, come, come, come. There are certain things that if you touch in the ministry, you will die. You will die. You won't do well. And I need to tell you those. I need to tell you those. That is why you need to be here for certain attitudes. Oh Lord, let him say something. Let him say something, even something that is bothering you. Something that is portraying your secret prayers can be answered at this time. Your secret prayer, your secret anxieties, it's not everything that you have been able to share or say. There are certain place, certain things that you'll not be, you'll not be able to share, to see, to seek advice on. But God knows your heart. Amen. Is it powerful? Adam, don't touch this as you die. There are things that as you are going into the ministry, God is saying don't go near them. Do not go near them. I'll be shy with you if I have time on examples for our admonition. Examples for our admonition don't touch as you have went to them on on the to the film Don't touch God's money. You have been touched that you should separate your your own money from God's money. Don't touch God's money. Don't touch. Amen. Your check member looks very nice and attractive, but don't touch it. Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch, Don't touch, Don't touch, don't touch. I won't touch. I won't touch, I won't touch. And the day that Adam touched, touched. How do you call it? Apple. That was it. So it was important for God to tell Adam that that that them they are giving so many instructions. But this one too was important. The things that you must be told we have not finished telling you. Look at I think John chapter 20, Hallelujah, John chapter 20 and verse 30 and many other signs truly with Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you might have life through his name. And notice the scripture. He said there are many signs which are not written in this book. So some of the things have been written, some of the things have not been written. So some of the things that you must hear, you have heard them, but some of them you have not heard. And even after today, that is going to be the end of the hearing. But it is part of what you must hear. The last ways, the fire. Amen. Wow. Genesis chapter 24. And Abraham was old and well stricken in age, and the Lord have blessed Abraham in all things. And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house that ruled over all that he did put, I pray did a hand under my thigh, and I will make this way. I hope you don't put the camera on when I'm cleaning my face because I'm studying a lot. The place is very hot. Put, I pray thee, that hand under my thigh, and I will make this swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell. When a servant lives with you for a long time, he becomes like a son. Is that all the case? Becomes like a son? So in the eyes are there of Damascus. He was like a son. He had been there for a long time. He was there before all this. Isaac and Ishmael, all of them came. He seemed it so. Abraham was inspecting him as a son, and he said, And I will make this way by the Lord the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shall not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell. But thou shall go into my country and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. And the servant said unto imperial adventure, The woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land. Must I miss bring my son again to the land from whence thou came as And Abraham said unto him, Beware that thou that thou bring not my son either. Again the Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred. And we speak unto me, and that swear unto me, saying, unto thy seed, would I give this land. He shall send his angels before thee. God is going to send his angels before you. God is going to give you all their supernatural support for your mission. The reason why you not fail is because heaven is on your side. God is on your side. The angels are on your side. The four and 20 angels are elders who stand worshipping God at his throne are on your side. The multitude of witnesses are on your side. Amen. I admit your Father who has trained you and I sent you, He said he stood and said I have a lot of confidence in you. You get it. That in itself a ghost to work on your behalf. The prayers that he prayed for you. The prayers that he prayed for you. When Bishop Hadith put a cross on your neck, you are saying I am supporting you to carry this cross. You will not fail. You do well, I say you do well, you do well, You shall become a great shepherd. You fulfill your ministry. You make full proof of your ministry in the name of Jesus. God will bless you, God will back you up. Abraham said God will send his angels, Amen. The grace of God that he has put on Bishop die for the vision of Lyra Chapel International. That grace is upon you. Go with it, walk with it, believe in it, and you succeed and you do well in Jesus name, Amen. The Lord God of heaven, which took me for my Father's house, the seven of the land of my country, and which take unto me, and that sworn to me, saying unto thy seed will I keep this lamb? He shall send his injury before thee, and thou shall take a wife unto my son from this. And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shall be clear from this my oath only bring not my son thither again. And the servant put his son under the ties of Abraham, his master, and swore to him concerning that matter. Hey man, he has given Elias and many instructions. But just before he left this earth vigor, huh? Just before he left, he said one more instruction. One more instruction. Wow, what do you think? One more instruction, one more instruction. The Bible says he was old and striking. He could go out anytime. And it was important who Isaac buried. It was important that Isaac didn't leave Canaan to go back. So what I'm telling is very important and I need to tell you, I'm an old man, I'm weak. I don't know. I can just go out anytime. I'll give you so many instructions. But this one also, this one also, this one also. That's why we are here in Tina, we are here. I said in Tina, we are here with our hearts opened, our mouths opened wide, ready to receive. Amen. Genesis chapter 28. Hallelujah. What do you think? Now in verse 37 there's one the babus. And it came to pass that when Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called. He saw his elder servant and settled and gave him some instructions. Is that also all right? So by the time Isaac was speaking to Abraham, Jacob in chapter 28, he was an old man. So many things have happened. They are giving so many instructions to Esau, to Jacob. And now he said, And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padanaram, to the House of Bethwell, thy mother's father, and take thee a wife from thence for the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee by thou mayest be a multitude of people, and give thee the blessing of Abraham, and give thee the blessing of Abraham to thee and to thy seed of thee, that the army has inherited the land wherein the other stranger will God give unto Abraham. And Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went to Padaram, unto Lebanon, son of Betwell the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca Jacobs and Esos mother. So you see, he gave instructions to Jacob concerning marriage. Amen. A wife to go to look for a wife. Hallelujah. Is that also? So that instruction was important. They are giving a lot of instruction to Jacob. Jacob. Be careful in farming, Jacob. Be careful in looking after sheep, Jacob. Be careful in fighting so many instructions as Jacob was growing up. Do you get it? But this had to be added. This had to be added. So you can't have a familiar attitude. We have had all what else? What else? When we scan, what is it that the Vision has not said? He's written all the books we've had all but what we thought we have had, all on loyalty and dislike. That he came out of those who leave you, those who pretend, those who accuse you. Amen. When we thought that we have learnt all we had all that comes about mega church. 25 reasons why must have the mega church, you know, retention, vangelism. He's come out of church growth. It is possible to the writing of many books. There is no end. The revelations don't end. So your attitude must be, hey, what is today's revelation? Amen. For their faithfulness and thy message. They are new every morning, every morning, every morning, Amen. That is why the priest had to enter the Holy of Holies vigor and change the shoe bread, change the shoe bread and put new one there. Because new day, new bread, new weight, new revelation. That is why we have quiet time, daily quiet time, very quiet time. God said something yesterday, but today he has something else to say. Even from the same verse. Yeah, I tell you, the councillor, Yeah, had another mistake. That's the mistake you have to hear all the time. Hello. As you are going on the field, we have given you instructions, but when you go on your way, you must have two things. You must have a map and you must have a mobile phone. The map will help you to go to where we said you should go and just in case we change it, it will help you to find the new place. The mobile phone, you need it to listen to what you have to hear every time if you leave the mobile phone behind, if we have to tell you something important. So what I'm trying to say is that that's why you must keep in touch. The mobile phone is the keeping in touch because there are a lot of things that must be said. There are a lot of things. Many of the alumna who have done well, those who have done well, the people who are in touch. Oh yeah, The people who have done well and those who have not done well, most of them, they have suffered from lack of communication. When we send them, that was all. They cut themselves off. I have had several instances where people have called me and the only thing they said was that I want to apologize for that. I realized that I have not been touched and those who have not done well. During one of the morning sessions of the recent homecoming, I was going to my car and one of them approached me and he said I've been standing here waiting to share something of you. So what is it? He said. You see the message when Bishop was talking about how you can wither being far, you know, and all that you see, he said a couple of weeks ago had a dream and a dream. You came to me. I said everything that Bishop preached about today. You said all in their dream to me. That's why I'm standing here to let you know that this is what happened. And I know that that is why I've not done well. It's too far because we have not finished telling you what we have to tell you. There's more. That is what? When you go, you must be in touch. You must go on the website. What is happening? Do you get it? What is happening, brother? Don't want. Amen. Stand up, Stand up. Stand up and lift up your hands and fire him. Lift up your hands. One goal. Stand up and lift up your hands. Fire. Amen. Sit down, Sit down. Why the NJ police NJ police bring the water you We have not even started the battle. When Solomon said that, I went by a certain man's field and I saw that it was about Gold Pass and that I received wisdom, understanding that a little slit, a little slava. So should I. Poverty. You want to enter into poverty now. Saddam, Saddam. Amen. You must regularly visit the website to know what is going on. It's very important just to know what is going on. Amen. Yes. You know what is going on? Well, it's not very nice. Hide it somewhere. Hide it under that curtain there. Yeah. It must not be seen as a secret weapon. Amen. What is going on? I get what I'm saying. Yeah, the website, the website is very comprehensive with us. A lot of information about the church councils, churches, missions overseers, you know where Bishop is travelling to, programs, you'll get it and all that. Maybe we have even moved you to another analysis. We moved you about six months ago. Do you get it? We moved you six months ago. So that is where everybody goes for meetings. Yeah. And for some time now, at the end of the meetings, people are giving bishops new books and new packages are made. So every time they go this year and the last one here at 10 was six months. And this day they don't call for meetings. This day they don't call for meetings. Did you get it? Yeah. So you need to keep in touch. Website. We have a lot of things to tell you through the the the Good Shepherd information forms that you must download. We want to apply for something. It's all there. We all want to do something. It's there. Did you get it? But you don't go there. And these are real things. Amen. All right. And the last scripture. Let's look at First Kings. First Kings chapter 2 on verse one now the death of David Junai that he should die and he charged Solomon his son saying look at it the last words of a father. He had told someone so many things that also someone was there when Absalom and all these guys plotted all kinds of things he was there for during the happier times, you know, the sad times and all that. So many instructions, so many teachings he had shared with him how he had followed God. Someone. I am what I am because I have followed God. I've learnt to follow God, I've learnt hiring from God. I've been praying to God, I've been fitful, I've been serving God. I've told him all that. And now his days to exit was near and he called come, come my son. And he charged him and commanded him, gave him strict instructions. What I'm going to tell you are different from the things that I've told you before. I believe that there are things that Bishop is going to share are this come that are different from what we have heard, even if it is the same line, but different in its importance and value and emphasis. Amen. I got the way of all the earth. Be there strong. Therefore may you be strong. May you be strong. The ministry is not for weaklings. Yeah, hear my cry, O Lord, and attend to my prayers. From the eyes of the earth will I cry unto you. And when my heart is overwhelmed, keep me in the rock that is higher. And that was the When my heart is overwhelmed, there will be ties in the ministry that will be overwhelmed by the issues. One day you come to church and our tenants are dropped from 30 to 2 because of something that happened and the main shepherds. This is something, something, something. And then when you come from 30 to two, you begin to tremble for the shock of your right leg. You've got to be strong. You've got to be strong because the ministry is war, is battles. Yeah, it takes strength. It takes strength for Jesus to look at his main assistant and said second, yeah, yeah, 2nd. No, it's not you, you Zhu. Yeah, went in Herald, took somebody's wife, took strength from John the Baptist to stand. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's wrong. You are talking to your kiss. Even if your kiss wrong, it's wrong. No fire, you are the key. No fire. When Bishop had to sack his main assistant, church was small. Not that the church is big, is it governor? Church is big. You can tell that, OK, there are 1000 people, so even if he's angry, he goes with some. OK, you go to 300 people, you still have 707. Hundred is tell. Many people will notice it. There's a few people now from today. Ouch. It takes strength. Joshua, the person that I was using, Moses, a man of miracles, power, authority, he's dead. He's no more. You are the one who is going to lead. He was trembling. God's person, be strong. And I said to you, be strong. Be strong in the name of Jesus. Be strong in the Lord. Be strong. Encourage yourself in the Lord. Are you getting it? Yeah. When David came first and watch after 30 and they had just destroyed everything in Ziglar, taking the wives, the people, the children, the possessions. And the men started crying and weeping and they turned their ambush and everything on on David and they picked up stones ready to stone him. But the Bible says in press how much of that 30th verses David encouraged himself in the law and he did what he knew best. He went to the Lord and the wired of the Lord. Should I go after them? Should I pursue after them? Will you give them into my hands? And I'll also go pursue them, overtake and recover all. He encourage himself. Yeah, the ministry is not strict. It can be you, it can be Chaboklem that is regular than visual Chamblains. Shake it. But it's part of the ministry. That is why you must keep on listening. Wow. One of the things, one of the ways by which the Bishop is going to continue to speak to you for the rest of your ministry is the Macanese. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of words on almost every subject. Got a problem in your marriage? There's something there. Amen. Hallows and marriage. Is that not so? Yeah. So many things scattered all over. Now you must begin to mine. You must begin to mine. Amen. If I have some more time, remind me to share with you 7 steps to mine. Do you get it? The baccanet that you have? How to be able to to tell some mining because they contain caches, different things. But how do I know there are 7 steps? Amen, she said. Be strong. Be strong therefore, and should I serve a man? Ministry is not for boys. That is why our school is 4 years so that all boys will park and go boys, the boys will park and go. And there are different reasons why you park other academic parking, moral parking, indiscipline storage well attitudinal you just pack and go until the rare boys and women look at it have remained. Amen. And even adults have childish thanks. There are certain adults who pick their nose. That is childish, boys. Hey, man.
