01. What It Means To Be Called

Welcome to track number one of Tell Them. Hallelujah, let us pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for today. Thank you for the opportunity that we have to share your word. We ask that you guide us and lead us into all of your will. Thank you for your blessing in Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated. It's good to see all of you again. I'm sure we'll see more of ourselves. The theme for our campus that tell them this is an example of how not to make a banner. Don't put a lot of things on it. You can't tell. We know the dates, we know where we are, we know the country. You get it. So whoever did the banner, you got less than 10% for that banner. Forgive. What does it mean to be called? Number one? You have you write a lot at the camp. This camp, OK, to be called means to be called out by name. All right, many of us are called. How many know that many of us are called? Many of us are called by God. All right, if you don't know, I'm coming to tell you that many of us are called. God wants us to work for him. He wants us to serve him. Amen. So to be called by God is a very, very, very important subject. Amen. All right, OK, so the Bible says many are called, but unfortunately many people who are called don't know that they are called. Because they don't know that they are called, they never obey the calling. And because they don't obey the calling, you know, it looks as though Jesus didn't die for the whole world. Did you know that? It looks as if Jesus didn't die for the world. It looks as if he died for a few people, and it looks as if he died for a few people because most people are not obeying the call. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. Because what about those in India? In China? And if the world had 100 people, 60 would be in Asia. Yeah, the world had. The world was made of exactly 100 people. Sixty of those 100 people would be living in Asia, and 13 of those people would live in Africa, and only five of those people will be living in America. You see. And a lot of Americans are saved. You get it? Well, it looks they have a lot of pastors on television, it looks like. Yeah, a lot of them are saved, You know, So sometimes the people start to ask, you know, one time I was talking to a rich man and he was telling me that Christianity is an arrogant religion. It's a religion where you assume that others cannot go to heaven, you know. And he, he said to me, I find it difficult to accept that so many million people, billions of people who are not born again, as you are saying, will go to hell. So he says, I don't, I, I can't accept it, you know. And as he was talking, I just felt, you know, this is because those of us who are called don't do what we are supposed to do. Because if everybody does what he can do, we all form a little part of the net and then it forms the whole net and catches the fish. You get it. But because somebody is not doing what he's supposed to do, then in the end, it looks as though, you know, there's no net, you know, and then everybody's passing through, becoming days or becoming that or whatever, you know. So what I'm talking about is, is very, very important. You know, that we, a lot of you have to obey your calling, your calling to serve God. You're calling to be a missionary, you're calling to be a pastor, you're calling to preach, you're calling to do something for God. It's very important that you obey it. You don't obey it. You are killing people, you are killing them. You are murdering people, you are making them go to hell. That's because you don't do what you can do or what you are supposed to do. So what I'm talking about, it's not just a kind of idea, but it's something about the lives of people, you know, people who Christ died for who are waiting for you to come and tell them, you know, that they can be saved, they can be changed, you know, And if, if everybody does the little that he he can do or he's supposed to do, you know, then that feeling of like Christ died for just a few people, you know, it would be gone. And even if they don't believe we, we want to tell them, even if they don't change, but at least they should be told, you know, at least they should be, they should be told, they should have the chance to be told. So I believe that many of us, if, if you take the word many, you know, it means the majority, it means a lot, it means plenty, it means great numbers, it means masses. That's the meaning of many, you see, and not few. So if we are doing well, yes, to come. The pastors in South Africa, the talking about pastors, not shepherds would be more than this hall. Yeah, only pastors in only in South South Africa. Hello. Yeah, only in South Africa. The pastors, I mean people who are trying to do something for God will be so many, you know, everywhere. Every town needs a lot of pastors. The people are many. They can't come to the main church or to one church everywhere. We need a church at your door, in your language, a church by every electricity pole. There must be a church there. But that that feeling that Christ died for five people? Five out of the 100 it's. Very sad that Christ died for people who speak English. How can it be that Christ died for people who speak English? And people who are educated, who have been to school, these are not the people that Christ died for the whole world, you know, So we have to take away that picture completely from, from the church. And we have to do our part. And we, we don't have to criticize any other church because other churches also have to do their part. Because if they also don't work, no matter what we do, it doesn't form the net that is supposed to form. OK, so to be called. And now I want to explain to you what it means to be called. OK, so to be called means to be called out by name. All right? That means your name is mentioned. Now. God knows your name, Amen. God knows your name and He's calling you today by your name. When Jesus was passing through Jericho, there's a short man in town that was as he was shot. So he had a lot of obstacles that prevented him from seeing the Lord. And in your life there are a lot of obstacles that prevent you from seeing the Lord. There are a lot of obstacles that prevent you from coming to God. You know your life, sometimes your relatives, sometimes your sins, sometimes your boyfriends, your girlfriends, but Zacchaeus does was decided to overcome those obstacles and I see you overcoming those obstacles in order to see the Lord. So he climbed the tree and he was up in the tree. When he was up in the tree, the Lord was passing by and the Lord called him by name. He says Zacchaeus, Zacchaeus come down and. Jesus said to him, make haste. Make haste. Hurry up. When God calls you, He expects you to hurry up before somebody takes your place, before something changes, before something else happens. You have to come quickly, say Zacchaeus, make haste. Come down from the Sycamore tree. I am coming to your house today. Zacchaeus was someone whom people would hate and despise because he was taking the people's money and he was chopping their money when they work hard. He was terrorizing the people. Nobody likes tax collectors. Even up to today, the IRS. What do you have? What do you call it? SAS. Ah, nobody likes them. Do you like them in this country? So Can you imagine a type of SAS or Internal Revenue which are just, I mean, one man using his powers to take extra from you. He was a hated man in despise. But As for Jesus, he doesn't look at, you know, whether people don't like you or people like you or whatever. He would. He doesn't mind associating with somebody like you. Yeah, Because for him to even associate with Zacchaeus on that day, you know, it was like spoiling his ministry. You know, for some of you, for you to be in the church, it's almost as if you are spoiling the church, your presence here, the way the way you have been, even when people see you in the church. This guy is in the church. But you see, Jesus doesn't mind bringing people like you who seem as if you are coming to spoil a church and your association is coming to destroy the presence of God. He will organize you into that. So he says that chaos make. Haste. Anytime God calls you, you have to hurry up, but I am coming to your house. Now. God always calls people by name. When Adam was in the garden, he came to him. Adam, where are you? The Lord called Moses out of the midst of the burning Bush. He said Moses, Moses. So you see, God knows your name. He called Bezaleel. He says I have called by name Bezaleel, the son of Yuri in Exodus 31, verse 2. And Babu says and the Lord calls Samuel. So he calls you by name. So I don't know what your name is. He's calling you by your name. He says taboo, come, I want you. I need you in my army. And that's what he did to Zacchaeus. Paul was called by name when he was marching on the road to Damascus. He says Saul, Saul. You see, God knows your name. So to be called is to be called means that your name has been mentioned in heaven. And God is saying you come, you cannot resist it. You cannot resist it. You have to obey. You have to obey and and, and that is what causes the greatest draw. You know anybody here who hears his name from out there and they say. So and so. Come quickly, you'll be the one who will feel uneasy as you are sitting here. So come quickly is very important. Come quickly is very important. As you are here with everybody, you feel uneasy. You'll want to get up, and that is the feeling you have when God has called you. You feel uneasy. You want to do something, you want to move because you have been selected and God has chosen you and he's called you and he says, come Hallelujah. So all these people were called by name. And that was what happened, exactly what happened to Zacchaeus on that fateful day. And that day he came to Jesus and he was really blessed. Amen #2 To be called means to receive mercy. Mercy in Second Corinthians chapter 4 verse one, the Bible says, see therefore that we have received this ministry as we have received mercy. To be called is to receive mercy. For you to be here, it means you have received mercy. Hey, think about it. You shouldn't have been here, you should have. You should have been dead, sleeping in your grave, but God gave you mercy and allowed you to see another day of His mercy and His grace. This How come you are here today looking so nice as if you are normal, but you yourself know that you are not normal? Amen. As we have received mercy, as we have received mercy, as we have received mercy, as we have received mercy, that is what it means to be called a means to receive mercy. And so if God has shown you mercy, you must be grateful. And all your life you must minister from that point of view of someone who has been shown messy, not from the point of view of someone who is coming to contribute something or someone who needs to be paid. You know, you must, you must pay me very well for my services and my contribution. No, you have to always minister from the mind of someone who has received messy #3 To be called means to be appointed. Amen. To appoint means to be selected. All right. In Numbers chapter one, verse 50, Mabel says, But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it. They shall bear the Tabernacle and all the vessels thereof, and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp around about in the Tabernacle. So what happened to the Levites? They were appointed. Amen. To appoint means to be employed. I see God employing you in Jesus name. To appoint means to sign up. How many are going to sign up to join the army, to appoint me, to sign up, to appoint me to take on? God is taking you on. He's adding you to his team. Apache, you've been signed up. You've been signed up into the the group, the army. You should have been dead, sleeping in your grave, but God showed you mercy. He signed your name up on the road amongst my ministers and my soldiers and my servants. Hey. Is it not a fantastic thing? Amen. So it's it's it's a very wonderful thing. It means to be chosen or to allot someone at position or an office. All right. So to be appointed to be called means to be appointed all right. Thou shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest office, and the stranger that Kamath nigh shall be put to death. Numbers chapter 3, verse 10. My ministry right is for me and my sons. He says, Thou shall appoint Aaron and his sons. So people who are my sons in the ministry are equally appointed as I am appointed as, as I said something about, he said I and the children whom the Lord has given to me. I recently had a camp called I and the children whom God has given to me. Amen. So God is giving us an appointment, He says Aaron and his sons. And in fact, you could not be a priest in the Kingdom unless your father was a priest. That is what makes you a priest. Your father has to be a priest. That is why it's very important for you not to fight fathers. Do you understand somebody who has been a father to you? Don't be very careful. Even if he's wrong. The fathers are wrong sometimes. But you have to be careful because your duty is not to go around correcting fathers. Be very careful, Amen, Very careful so that you will live long, so that to be well with you, so that things will work out for you if you start correcting. In South Africa, many of you don't have, some of you don't have fathers, they don't respect fathers. You see that, that that brings a case because even though apartheid didn't turn into a war, you know, something else that kills people has come to the country. Yeah, the death is coming another way. It's not from the war, but from another something it's happening. Are you with me? So it's very important for you to have a good mind and a good attitude. So he said, I, Aaron and his sons, you shall appoint Aaron and his sons. So you have been appointed, My sons in the ministry have been appointed with me in the ministry. And my daughters have been appointed with me in the ministry. Aaron and his sons receive your appointment in Jesus name. It is Aaron and his employees, Aaron and his members, Aaron and his sons. So make sure you become a son so that you partake of the appointment to this great office and ministry that God has given to us. The next one is to be called means to be separated. Separated. All right. To be called means to be separated. Yeah. What do you think? At that time, Deuteronomy 10, the Lord separated the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant. Amen. To stand before the law, to minister and to him, and to bless his name. Deuteronomy chapter 10 verse 8, the Lord separated the tribe of Levi. All right. Now notice in Deuteronomy chapter 32 and verse 8 Bible says that most High divided to the nations their inheritance. And when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. He separates people. The sons of Iran was separated. That he should sanctify the most holy things. First Chronicles 23, verse 13. All right. Are you there? You are writing down all these verses, isn't it? Will you even read them one day? Are you sure I wonder? Romans chapter one verse one. Let's turn to it. Romans chapter one verse one, he says Paul a 7th of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle separated, separated Romans chapter one verse one. Paul was called to be an apostle, and he was separated onto what? The gospel. So, Andy, you've been separated. That that's what it means to be called is to be separated. Amen. God has put you aside. How many would like to be separated? Yeah. So if you don't, if it's a problem for you to be different, you get it. You can't be called. You have to accept to be different and to be separated from others, because to be called means to be separated. Even in the church, you'll be separated. If you obey your calling to be a minister and to serve God, you're going to find yourself. Becoming separate from the rest of the people, even in the church? Yes, some of your brothers have come to Bible school. You get it. They are separated from you. Their lives are different from you. You get it, and that's the meaning it's. All through your life in the ministry, you always experience separation. If you are called the Paul, called to be an apostle and separated unto the law, unto the gospel, it always sets up. There were 55 people in my class in medical school, 55. We graduated on the 10th of March of 1989 from medical school, 10th of March, and I was separated from my class. Everybody else went to America, England, some came here, I think different places to go and look for higher incomes. But I was separated unto the gospel and that's a privilege to me. It's a privilege. If it's a problem for you, you are, it's not your job. Don't come into it at all. Those of us who are in the ministry and who have been called by God. We we we become different from our colleagues and people we grew up with God. Called me in my country, people who are my color, we are called half castes. You call it colored here. Half, half, half caste boys are known to be very bad boys in Ghana. Is it the same here? Forgive us, Lord. Drinking, smoking, drugs, girls, everything and out of all the half caste in Ghana I was deleted and separated. Is it not a privilege and and is it even if you talk about half caste, let us talk about even people who go to church not. I'll be pastors, but. Just going to church. You can hardly find somebody like in my kalai in a church on a Sunday morning. And he called me and separated me from that group, brought me to the church and then separated me from the congregation to the stage. Is it not an honor? So when when your mother or your father or your friend or your sister or your cousin is trying to prevent the separation and say be. Like us, Why are you different? Why are you trying to be different from how our lives are? Why are you trying to come to be separate? Why they are they are fighting the very thing that marks you out, the very thing that marks out your calling and shows the characteristic of someone who is called the separation is, is is is is what they're actually fighting. Yeah. And it is something that you will experience throughout your life. If you follow the call of God from the first day you start to respond, you you see that you start to be separate and different and that difference continues and it continues and it continues because the very nature and the very meaning of the word call, it needs to be separated. That's why I pause poor called. To be an opposed. And separated. Hey, you'll be separated from useless socializing, You didn't write it. Useless socializing. You didn't write it. Useless socializing? Yeah. You will be. Separated from useless socializing, socializing with that, just start it, talk about nothing, whatever. And when you are being separated to prayer, separated to God, separated to quiet times and quiet place, it's like, why? Why are you not with us? Why are you not talking? Why are you not coming? But you see, God is calling you and he's trying to separate you and accept it. I want to be like everybody. Rather, you must see that great privilege that God has afforded you, that you should be separated from the group that you originally came from. Separated from your family. Look, sometimes in a family there is one person out of a family who has the privilege to know God. Did you know that? I don't know about your brothers and sisters, but sometimes there's just one brother, one person. Sometimes the whole family comes, but sometimes it's just one. And thank God for that opportunity to be separated when I look at my cousins and the people with my name in Ghana. I don't know why, I don't know why. Do you know why? No, I don't know why. Jesus loved me. I don't know why he cares. I don't know why he sacrificed his life for me. Oh, but I'm glad. I'm so glad. I'm so glad he did. I was telling somebody yesterday. I said, look, it's my honor, my greatest privilege, that I found myself in His house to serve God all the days of my life. Where? Would I have? Been Where would I be if Jesus didn't love me? Where would I be if he didn't care? Where would I be? If he hadn't sacrificed his life. Oh, but I'm glad, so glad he did. Amen. Oh, but I'm glad, so glad he did. Where would I be? If Jesus didn't love me, where would I be? Where would I be? Where would I? Be Jesus. Did he care? Where would I be? Where, where, where, where? Where would I be if he hadn't sacrificed his time? Over so glad me. I'm so glad, I said. I'm so glad. Are you glad? I'm so glad he did, I said. I'm so glad he did. Hey, where would I be? Me. Where would I be? Where would you be? Think about me carefully. Where would you be if he hadn't sacrificed his life? Oh. But I'm glad. I'm so glad he did. Hey, is it me? This is my only reason for being a pastor. A preacher? Yeah. It's my only. I have only one reason. I don't know why he loved me. I don't know why he cared. I don't know where I would have been. I don't understand it so because I don't understand what what has happened, that's why I want to serve him. That's why I want to preach. That's why I want to tell her that. That's the only understanding that I have. I don't understand it. It is because I don't understand why I'm saying I find it too miraculous. Don't you find the miraculous that you are saying? I find it too surprising, the price that I'm saying. That's why. Yeah, that's why. Money is the smallest thing you can offer compared to the salvation that we have in Christ Jesus. I don't know why some of you I know you shouldn't have been here. You come this guy his best friends. Well, what type of people? Rankers, we smokers. Do you have we in South Africa? Plenty by Lavinias and I remember when he got saved. He got saved by the crusade. You are from Mozambique. He was supposed to be dead. He went to witness to his best friend. One of his best friends told him, Come and give your life to Jesus. What day did you go and speak to him? I went on a. Saturday. And he said what? He said that he would come, but the next day when I went he had gone to watch a football match and he died on a Thursday. He died on Thursday. Yeah. Is he or was he your best friend or one of your friends? I mean, he was one of my best friends. One of your best friends Go to witness give your life to. Jesus on Saturday, say you come to say. When you go to him, he's gone to play football or watch football. And when he died, his funeral, what, what did they do to what did they do to him? They. Have you seen a funeral that when they are carrying they take what they took the body out or it fell out? They took the body out. They said that they they wanted to give him their last salute. That's fellow we smokers. These are your friends. I I should have been dead. I should have been dead and so. So they they took him out of the the cops and they put marijuana on his lips and they had to call the police. They took the body out of the the coffin and put weed they. Were so drunk that they couldn't control themselves, so they took everything from their family and they started doing those things. Wow, this is best friend though. Do they look at you standing here so. I don't know why. You know why. I don't know why. So, so that is, that's what I'm saying, that if your salvation means anything to you, then you should give. Since you don't understand it, you should give yourself to do anything to help anybody to also know Jesus Christ. That that to me is that I don't know what else I will do to have been saved. Yeah. Till here's a sin spread I'm so glad that God still hears a sin spread. I walked to the churchyard on a Sunday morning. I stood outside contemplating if I should walk through the You see, a lot of folks knew me. A lot of people knew you from. Way back where people hold into all of those facets. But I know all. I've seen him and come short of his glory. Yeah, but I'm glad that I'm here to tell a story. I've got up in days. Hey. Sleeping in my grave. Oh yeah. But God blessed me to see another day. Oh God. Bless me to. See another day. It means to be sent. That's the next one. First. It means to be #4 it means to be separated #5 It means to be sent. Now, to send someone is to cause or direct somebody or something to go to a place. All right. It means to send somebody away. Now, if you are following your calling, you may find that God will send you away because I'm I'm checking from the dictionary what it means to be sent. It means to be sent away. How many are ready to be sent away For the sake of the gospel, you'll be sent. Away you go. Go away sent away. That that's what it means to be called. So when you follow your calling at that point, you may find that you are being sent away. Yeah, you find that you are being sent away, you'll find that you are being separated. So what I'm saying is that don't complain about any of these things because that's what it means to be called, to be sent away. And they will come and we'll send Pastor Cliffia away, he said. Cool. It's all part of being called you go away this one. Go, go, go, go. Peter, what do you think? Think about it. That's the meaning of the word sent. It needs to be sent away and when you are going the only. Feeling you have is that you have been sent away. Yeah. The only feeling you have is that you have been sent away. It's almost like your company was not desired anymore to be sent away. I said go away. You'll feel it and when you are called, you'll feel the separation, the difference. It's and what I'm I'm saying this thing because it's something that the devil. Ministers to you. That is not normal. It's not a it's not a good thing you are experiencing to be called. Is it time for breakfast? A few minutes more, 15 minutes. OK. All right, All right. All right, all right, all right. Now another word. The word St. means comes from the Greek word apostelo. Apostelo, apostelo and number one, it means to be set apart. Again. You see, the separation of being set apart is something you need to really appreciate. And to be sent sent away comes from the Hebrew word sharak. SHA. LACH sharak, it means to be sent away. Sharak means to be sent away, and apostelo means to be set apart #2 it means to send somebody out properly. You see, you have to be sent proper. I didn't say, oh, these are just the Greek dictionary. I'm just reading you from the Greek dictionary because some people don't go properly, Forgive. You need to be sent properly and when you are sent properly, your mission is different from when you just went to be sent is different to from being for wanting sent or went. Some of you just went, but you are not sent and that is why. And some of you didn't. You were not sent. You slide it there, you slid sliding you you're someone, they just slide to that place. And that's how sometimes we'll call you back. Then at that point we'll send you properly. That's the meaning of sense, the meaning of being called apostelo to be sent. So there are sometimes. I was talking to one pastor. He came into full time ministry. I told you, listen, the way you came into full time ministry was not the right way. I now want to send you properly because you slide it into full time ministry sort of gradually, you see, But I want to send you properly so that you have certain credentials. But if you have ever been sent, you have demonstrated great faith, You have demonstrated humility. You have demonstrated obedience. You have demonstrated that you've put away your own thinking and accepted another way of thinking higher. Than what you know, it's a very, very wild thing to be sent and to go yeah, maybe when they are sent or they resign. I have resigned from your organization writing. One sentence, so to to ever. Have been sent before in your life it. Gives you a certain credential you. Understand what I say? Credentials. What does credentials mean? Qualifications. Certification Credits. Accreditation. Credibility. Rank, you get it. It to be sent to have been sent. You get it. So sometimes you slide into it, but we don't want people who are proposed. I was slided into minutes, no. I was sent for who? Who? Slipped into full time ministry. No, no, no, no, no. Or who went? Our pro step is to be sent and then the next one. It means to be sent on a mission. Yeah. So many people who are called will one day be sent on a mission. And one day I'm going to have the privilege of going to many different countries in Africa and see S Africans lighthouse people over there, pastoring churches and preaching and doing great works for the Lord. We sent on a mission, you see, in some time to come, we must not have less than 1000 churches in South Africa. Oh. Yeah. I'm serious. No, no, I'm not just saying things. I mean it because there are so many people here. They need to be safe, but we also need to send people away to other places. And God is going to use you. You will be sent on a mission. You will be sent properly. You will not slide into the thing. No sliding or wanting. They are going to be sent. Are you there all right in Genesis 45 and 7? Joseph said. God. Sent me before you to preserve you a prosperity posterity in the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. When God sends you, it's usually to preserve some people's lives is to bring about a great deliverance for you. Are you listening to me? When I say ask you, you say we are listening to you. Are you listening to me? That's it. Jeremiah chapter one, verse 7 And the law. But the Lord said unto me, say not I am a child. For thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee, thou shalt speak. Don't say I'm a child. It is only a child who can do this anyway. You get it? Yeah, God is going to raise you up. Some of you are going to come to Bible school. Some of you are going to be sent from here. You will not come to Bible school. Different depend on your calling. Depending on your calling and what God wants to do with you. Different things for different people. Are you listening to me? You are going to do the works of the Lord. And he's, he's telling you, don't say I'm a child, I'm a child. I'm nothing, I'm nobody. Huh. For thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee. God sends us to different people that he has called us to. God is going to send you to somebody. Not everybody listens to everybody. There are some people who don't like it when I preach, and there are some people who like it when I preach. Is this two groups? One time I was with a certain man, an unbeliever, and I was, I was wondering, I was thinking to myself that this person, I don't know why he'll be interested in what I would say. Because to me, I don't preach in a certain, I mean refined way that certain maybe intellectuals or whatever they like. So I thought that he should rather listen to somebody who is, looks more intellectual with nice words and things to say. But I, I, I, it was always in my mind that why would you rather go to listen to that person? One day he said to me, you know, I, one day I went to a church and he mentioned this particular person I was thinking about. I said when I went there, this man spoke with great wisdom. He said, but as I thought, I said, I can find 10 people in my village with wisdom like this. That's that is not what I'm after. I'm not after wisdom. I want something else. You get it. And that's why he came to me. Yeah, because we're not just after wisdom. I was thinking, why don't you go to the wise, wise men with very from the East with. Nice preaching. So it's interesting. Not everybody will listen to me. Not everybody will listen to you. But some people, it is only you that they will listen to. Yeah, only you. My sister, my big sister, she wouldn't get saved. She resisted when I spoke to her, she would get angry. What do you mean you are? This is what you do. You see you are pregnant people. You say you this, that. Why are you this and that? And I spoke to her and spoke to her, and she wouldn't listen. Then one day my cousin, Pastor Robert, he went to her house and he said to her, I want to take you, come, let's go to church. He took her and he just took her straight to church. And she gave her life to Christ. And that was it. You didn't listen to me. I don't know why. Do you know why? I don't know why. She didn't listen. She didn't listen to me. I I can always remember that particular for when I was talking to her. You see, this is how you are. This is what you do, frightening people and this kind of hell, whatever. Talking to people, frightening people, all the. Time. But the day came when the one who had been sent, he came into the house and he took at my hand and said come with me. And he led her and like a lamb he took her to the church and she gave her life to Christ. She the one, she is the one who helped me to come into full time ministry. Yeah, she helped me to come. It is fantastic. She, she the one who paid me to be in ministry. She, she she supported the whole of Lighthouse and everything for every season. Yeah, the one who was angry with me. And she was waiting for somebody to come, somebody who had been sent. So if God has sent you and sent you and said, yeah, you are a murderer, you are a killer, you are a killer. You are a killer. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying? You're a dangerous person. People's lives are in your hands. People's destinies are in your hand. And you are sitting there talking about your mother, your father, your school, your days, your doubt. When people's destinies and future people going to heaven and hell is just in your hand. And you are, You don't care. I find you. A very wild personal and I want you to change from today. I want you to accept that you 2 can be used Jeremiah's God told Jeremiah don't say I'm a child. In other words, don't. Don't demean yourself and say, oh, but my preaching is not sophisticated and full of wisdom. Like they don't say those things because there are people I have sent you to and they will listen to you in the way you say it, with your accent, with your education, with how you speak and everything. You are perfect for them. You are perfect. For some people, don't say I am a child. God is going to use this specially. Are you excited about that? Amen. To be called number six. No, no, I was. I'm still on St. for that saith the Lord. Zechariah chapter 2, verse 8. After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you. Luke 418 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted. You are somebody who has been sent specially by God. Pastor. Kingsley once told me that he believes God has a work for him to do in southern Africa. And I said I believe it. I believe it. That's why he's here. I believe it. I believe that thing. And many of you are you are all here because he came here. And where are the people from Kayalisha? And there's some people here. Where are you? You see, he was sent to you. You wouldn't, you wouldn't be here waving your hand with your hand that you are here. Is it not fantastic? Yeah. Sense. Yeah, sense me. You know how John described himself? He said there was a man sent from God. There was a man sent from God. His name was John. There was a man sent, you know, I tell you so me. I know that there are some people who have been sent to. They when they hear my voice, it is like the voice of God. Yeah. And there are some people who, when they hear my voice, it's like the sound of noise. Disturbance one time one of my judgement. Was telling me, he said. You know, my parents were in the house, they were watching television and you came on, were preaching and I was just talking. And they said, what is this preaching? Is this preaching? He's just walking around. He's talking. He's just preaching. He's not how to preach and they took the remote and take me off. Because they don't think that it's preaching. They have not been sent to them. So those to whom have been sent, they hear my voice and they they respond like my sister who responded to Pastor Robert on that day. God sent him to her especially God didn't send me. He sent her to help me, but he sent him to help her and he had not sent. Me to help her. I was not to help her. She was to help me. I was not sent to her. He. Was sent to her and she was sent to me. I was watching Creflo Dollar on television. He was preaching. As he was preaching, I said I don't understand what he said. Then I saw some tape by him. He said how to, I really like the title, how to how to, how to relate or how to relate to the anointed and his anointing. Yeah, so I got and I tried to listen to it. I would. Listen, I cannot get what he's saying. Are there others who don't understand what he's saying? So that I look on the television and I see a lot of people there, hey, they understand what he's saying. They are receiving what he's saying. And I said I don't understand trying. I realized that he has not been sent to me. So never be confused when some people don't receive it. Sometimes I will send you. I have not been sent there. Every Joseph has an Egypt that you have to find in your life. You see, when originally Joseph was called, he had that dream. So the sun and the moon and the stars bound us. So he went and told some people that he was not called too. He told them that, you know. I saw you bowing. Say what? You are going to be great, greater than us. Because our father has given you a coat and they threw him into a well. He went to Potiphar's house, that one too. He had not been called there before. He realized a new scandal had come. So that he's trying to rape the man's wife. Then he went to the prison, tried to do interpretation there, and he. Told the battle I said that when you come Remember Me, but like I did not remember him every. Stage of his busy has there was one person who would appreciate him and his name was Pharaoh. Everybody has to meet that Pharaoh who you are really called to help and who will receive your help. And I appreciate your help so highly that he will honor you so much for the great help you have given to him. And. He, he gave. Fair advice. The problem was not even over. He just gave him advice of what to do and Pharaoh said you are the Prime Minister. Immediately come Prime Minister, they gave him a crown. And what else? I give him position might get a wife come. I need a wife What? 2 wives? Come, come, two wives, 2 wives, 2 wives, 2 wives immediately but. Potiphar did not respond like that, the prisoners did not respond like that, his brothers did not respond like that, even his father did not respond like that. But Pharaoh before even the problem was solved, Pharaoh said have two wives, have two rings, what else Crowns appointments. So make sure some of you, you are ministering the police, you are ministry there, you have not been called there. That is why I set an appreciation of you, of your greatness is not yet felt, because it's not. You are not at the place you are. Maybe you are in Potiphar's house. You have to go to prison now. After prison, then we can go to see Pharaoh. What do you think? Are you ready for prison? Some of you are still with the brothers. You are with the brothers and they they are about to put you in a well you are going to go down. After some time they will sell you and you ask yourself am I called that? It's on the journey on the route. I see you there in Jesus name. You are blessed. You cannot have those wives. There was a man sent from God. You know what Jesus said about himself? He said my Mitt is to do the will of him that sent me. Yeah, the one who sent me properly on my mission. I want to do his will. He sent me. You've been sent. Make sure you follow the sending of the Lord. Amen. Number six to be called means to receive grace to be called means to receive grace. Luke chapter 2 verse 14 and the child grew and was filled with the spirit of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. John chapter one verse 14 speaks about Jesus. It says the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld the glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of. Grace and truth When God calls to you, you are full of grace. In Romans chapter 12 he talks about the calling and he says having gifts differing. We are giving gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us. So all of us have a gift according to a grace. So all of us have been. Given grace and sometimes that is why pastors are changed. Sometimes you have grace has been given to somebody for starting, then somebody has been giving grace for continuing and somebody has been grace for finishing. Somebody has been giving grace for solving problems. Somebody has been giving grace for stabilizing places. Do you understand? Everybody has a gift and according to the gift you get a certain amount of grace. Receive the grace in Jesus name. All right, but unto everyone of us is giving grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. So all of you are giving grace according to the size of the gift of God. Amen. I think our time is up now, right? Whereas, OK, so how many are going to walk in the grace? Now grace means number one. It means clemency, clemency, favour, benevolence, graciousness. It, it comes from the Hebrew word Shen and from the Greek word karis. You know, God is being gracious. This is just being kind to be called is just some, I mean, an armed robber who is being made a policeman. Hey, I mean, you are an armed robber and they, they, they, they, they see you and then they decide to appoint you as a policeman. Hey, this is what you call graciousness. A serial for Niketa. Who is going to speak about holiness? And purity, I mean the impure one who is now coming to teach purity. There's a something called Clement. I mean graciousness, you have slept with one or 200 and now you are now coming to talk about. Write all about fornication. And as you are preaching, you see some of the your victims in the church. You see some of your victims scattered all over, and when you say that for the kitchen, bow forgive. In fact, to be called is the highest. It's as if God is not thinking. It's as if he's not thinking, just just deciding to say come, you come. How can that be a chief drug dealer who has been now made in charge of drug and narcotics smuggling? I mean, you are a smuggler and the smuggling tendencies are still in you. Now you are in charge of narcotics control. It means kindness. Kindness. Try a little kindness. So this is what it means to receive grace. It means to be called. And one of them being called is to receive grace. Amen. All right, let us stand up on our feet. Father, we thank you for your help. In the name of Jesus, guide us. Help us. Lead us in Jesus name to appreciate the greatness of your calling to us that we may serve you. We may be sent away, we may be separated, we may receive mercy, receive grace. We love you and we thank you in Jesus name, Amen. Listen, you have 30 minutes. This camp is not about sleeping. It's not about resting, it's not about holiday, it's not about eating. We are here to work. Amen. Because we are soldiers for the Lord. How many are called by God? How many are ready to be separate and to be different? Yes. So come and and let your heart be ready to be sent to be broken with the things that break the heart of God so that we can do His will. Now you people, I tell you, there is nobody more ordinary than myself who is a preacher today with more fears, more questions, more question marks. You understand a question mark. You are marked. With a question. I mean there is a mark. On you and the. Mark that is on you is a question that you are tall. Are you called? You get it. So that's what I'm saying, that God really wants you. I feel it in my spirit. The young men, the young ladies, God wants you. He wants to arrest you. He wants to put a hook in your heart and own your heart. He doesn't mind your legs or your arms or your eyes. If he can get your heart, that's OK. And he's going to pull your heart into his will. Hallelujah. God bless you. So 30 minutes and we'll be back. Thank you.
