02. Being A Strong Son And Be Strong In The Grace

Welcome to track number two of the beautiful job. Hallelujah. All right, so I'm talking about the beautiful job of being a son, because I said that the main thing about this beautiful job is being different things. That's why we are called human beings, not human doings. What you are is more important even than what you do. So you need to be a human being, not a human doing, is that not? So do you understand what I'm talking about? All right, so you can put on the lights now if you are ready. Second Timothy chapter 2 and verse #1 Second Timothy 2 verse one. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. So in order to be a son, the first thing you can see the son is being told. Paul is speaking to his son. His son is Timothy. He's not a biological son because he didn't have a wife. And he's calling him his son, and he's telling his son what to do. OK. So if we can follow what he's telling his son to do, I believe we can know the right thing. Amen and the first please no one should send emails or texts whilst I'm preaching. Don't do that. Don't send mail, don't send text, don't check, don't write things to do or things that you have to do or remind us or anything. Amen. You see people holding their phone as if they are writing news over by sending replying text. So put your phone away, put your phone in your pocket, don't use your phone. And those of you with iPads don't send emails now. All right thou, therefore, my son, be strong. So that's the first thing. Be strong. Amen. The first key to being a good son is to be strong. Amen. So thou therefore, my son, be strong. Hallelujah. Now if you are going to come into anything, you can come into it with strength or you can do it partially. Do you understand now nothing is going to respond to you through your weak approach There is there is he tend to Genesis chapter 3 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. Mr. Prince, can you tell those outside that they have a few seconds to be here, otherwise they will be banned till tonight. The serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made, and he said to the woman, Yeah, hath God said, you shall not eat of every tree of the garden? The woman said to the serpent, We can eat of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree God said, You shall not eat. Serpent said you will not die. Verse 6 When the woman saw that it was good, it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took off the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also under her husband, and he did eat. The woman was deceived by three things. He looked good, the guy looks good, it was pleasant to the eyes, it looked nice and it's a treat to be desired to make one wise. She took off the fruits and gave to her husband and he did it. Later on, Paul explains that the woman was deceived, but the man was not deceived. So many times find that the ladies are deceived because it looks good. That's why the ladies like shopping even when they don't buy things. You want to just go and look and look and look and look and look at this. When I went to Korea the first time, they gave us when we got there, some something small. They said this is for shopping for the wives. I didn't understand it because I thought it was only my wife who liked shopping. But not knowing that it's something for all the wives, they all like shopping. Even if they don't buy anything. They want to go and look at it, it looks good. It was pleasant to the eyes to be desired, and that's it. Now the eyes of both of them were open and they knew that they were naked. Anytime you are conscious of nakedness, it's a revelation that an evil has been planted in you. Because if you see cows or camels or horses, they don't feel shy. They eat, they drink, they have sex, they do everything. If you are there, it's not a problem. But a vast thought has entered your mind about something that God has made naturally. That's when you become conscious of something that you have chosen as an evil thing. It's not. God has not chosen as evil. Yeah, so they knew they were naked. They sold fig leaves. Then they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord. And the Lord God said to Adam, where are you? And said, I had that voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked and I hid myself. Those who hide themselves and are not open, do you understand? And always telling lies about their past and about themselves and always presenting another picture about who they are, are all deeply in this problem of evil. It's always a sign of evil. Hiding of things is a sign of evil. Yeah, always openness is a sign of the absence of evil. So hiding, hiding is a bad thing. All right. Are you listening to me? I'm coming to the point I said be strong. I'm giving you 50. There's a lot of them. 50 principles on how to be a son. And the first one is to be strong. And they are not my ideas. They are Apostle Paul S revelations that he gave to his son, that thou therefore my son, and that one be strong. And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest me, she gave me of the tree and I did eat it. The first destruction of somebody's ministry and somebody's life was caused by a woman that he had a relationship with. The first time somebody was called by God, the first minister, the first servant of God, the first representative of God, his ministry was destroyed by and through the woman. And the opposite, behind every great man is a great woman. And when you look in the Bible, you see, you don't see that picture. You see of them. Behind every disaster is a woman causing that problem. Don't be angry with me. I didn't write the Bible. That statement behind every great man is a great woman. It's not in the Bible. This is what is in the Bible. The first problem to the first minister of the gospel came through a woman, the only woman, and he and he said, the woman, that thou givest me mercy. And the Lord thou said to the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent begged me, and I did it. Whilst at this time we are going to pray, remind me for the partner of your life and your ministry or the partner for the phase one of your life. Because some of you may marry three times. Yeah, the first one, the second one and then the third one. Yeah, because you see, it is not as you think. You live happily ever after. You have two, two children, then grandchildren. This it is not always like that. Sometimes one person can end up having two or three wives or three husbands. Yeah, because if you remember Jesus, we told the story of A-17 husband. So which one would be her husband? And so I'm just saying 3. Yeah, wow. What do you tell somebody who has lost a spouse in tragic circumstances? You tell the person. Chapter 1 is finished. Chapter 2 will begin. Yeah, Chapter 3 is beginning. Chapter 4 of your life is made-up of chapter before you. Now all of you who are single, you are in chapter 1. In chapter 1, a long part of your life, you are with nobody. This is the first chapter of your life. If somebody is going to come and be with you for the for another, nobody knows how long it will be. It may be three years. I know somebody who got married on on Saturday and died on Monday. There's a short chapter. There are short chapters sometimes. Oops. But the sooner you get used to how things are, you see, I'm trying to let you become more accustomed to reality than these fantasies that we have. You see, that's why I started talking about fathering. Now this, this ideal picture that we have is not from my experience. You, this your father, this your mother, they are in the house. You come to school, you go, they give you pocket money, you come back. And then your other brothers and sisters grow up. You know, how many have had that experience, how many did not, did not have that ideal? Yeah, exactly. They had a party for you when you were four, another party for you when you were 10 years, a party when you were 18, a party when you were 18 years old and all these things, you know, it's nice. It's nice. Plan to do that for your children. Pray that God will give you this type of ideal marriage. So the first encounter caused a problem. What is this that thou has done? Then they tend to the serpent and they said because thou has done this, God caused. He didn't ask him any questions. There are some people you don't have to ask questions, you just caused them. Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dost thou shalt eat all the days of thy life. And I'll put an enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed. And her seed shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel. And there you see that this Satan hates women. Yeah, Satan hates women. That is why there are women's groups, women's movements and all kinds of things to try to fight for women to be sort of freed or emancipated one way or another. Yeah, Satan hates women. There is an enmity and that is why it is very good for a woman to be spiritual, because Satan hates you and, and, and when when I say said I hate you, said I hate all of us, but from the origin there is a special hatred for you. So when you are a woman and you don't make yourself a spiritual person, you are joking with your own life. It's nobody's fault if you don't take up this hatred seriously because if you grow up and somebody's warning you, and I heard that's what happened to Martin Luther King. They told him, look, people hate you. This thing you are doing is civil rights. You have to be careful. Martin Luther King. He said, oh, no, he's just giving speeches. And, you know, he said, no, be careful, the people. And then come. They just shot him. Yeah. So as a woman, you don't have to take it lightly. And you have to take your security seriously, your spiritual security, because what hates you is a spirit. It's a serpent, not a man Satan. So a lot of women are solitary, lonely, sad, fearful problems, issues. Hey, so be spiritual. You cannot win this war by just coming for women's rights or playing the victim. You know a lot of women's movement, women's group, they want always like we are down. We have to have. But that's how Hitler spoke. Hitler was always speak. We are we Germans have been cheated. That's how he came into power. We are cheated. We are the victims. We are being mistreated to fight for our right. We have to fight. Germany can be strong. You know those type of things. They don't they are not good things. They are reactionary things out of hatred. What you need to fight your real enemy is a spirit. So a spiritual woman is the best kind of woman. You are better off to be a spiritual woman because life is not going to be easy. And that's only Part 1 of your punishment. The enmity of Satan is only Part 1 of your punishment. Part 2 is coming out. Look at the Part 2. But don't you do exams in parts? And the Lord God said, And to the woman he said, I will, I will multiply a sorrow in thy conception. In sorrow thou shalt do what bring forth children, and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. That's a mysterious desire and attraction of women and all your problems come from the children and the husband now and to Adam, this is where I'm trying to explain, he said. Because you've listened to the voice of thy wife, you know the first punishment to a man came from the punishment, the reason for the OR his mistake. The first mistake of created man was listening to his wife. The first mistake in the whole world made by a man who was born into this world was to listening to his wife. I didn't write the Bible, don't shoot me down, I'm just reading things. Who was the 1st man? What was the first mistake that he made? Yeah, a whole lot of people, The first mistake they make in the ministry is to follow wives. Yeah. You see, many of the things you have to do for God cannot be done except you follow God. God is the person to follow, not a human being. Although looking beautiful. Come here, my dear Abigail. Although looking, is she not beautiful? Come here, my dear. Do you have a beloved? If you want a beloved, propose. Don't shout in the church. Quiet listen this young girl although looking angelic is not an Angel, not an Angel. You see the Bible says give that freedom is called test cement just or the person who what she says. So what happens with ladies is that their appearance pleads for them first, the appearance pleads for them first. 1st David, come David. Now when I look at this hard Bony brother, his appearance is not pleading for him. Is that not true? But in her case, her appearance is pleading for her. So she seemed just, she seemed right, she seemed righteous, she seemed angelic. But the Bible says he is never Ahmed and searches out the matter. So her neighbor, her roommate, her friend, her mother, her mother. The mother will come and tell you. So listening to that Angel, very dangerous. That's the first mistake in this world. Yeah. The first mistake in this world was not killing, fornication, stealing, lying. The first mistake that brought us to this state of disease problems. The question that brought us What is this that thou has done? He saw the walls, he saw the killings, he saw the murders. He saw the evil, the diseases, the congenital syndrome. He said, what is this that thou has done? What is this that thou has done? He saw the child diseases, he saw the cancers, he saw the tragedies, the accidents. He said what is this that thou has done? He saw the oppression of people. He saw the al Qaeda, the killing, the terrorists. He said, what is this that thou has done? You saw the torture chamber that men have made, huh? Well, they'll hang you like this and put your feet on ice block so that as you are standing on it, the ice block is melting and it is going slowly. Do you understand? So that you gradually are hung until you are just with your leg, until your head comes off slowly. There's a question he asked, What is this that that has done? That's a question God was asking. What is this? What is this that thou hast done? Yeah, tell you so. It's true that she's beautiful, but she's not an Angel. She's not without sin because her neighbor when her neighbor come just now to set out the matter, you'll be surprised. Yeah. Mothers. Yeah, what a mother is that can say things of mothers can blast their daughters by mothers. Mothers. They are not impressed with their daughters. How many have had your mothers blasting you properly? Proper one such as you even wonder the blasting is so strong they are not impressed at all because the mother is the neighbor that cometh and searcheth out the mother. Wow, Saddam Angel. Is it amazing? Is it fantastic? Now then, the man hand to Adam because of this first mistake you've made. And you have eaten of the tree, listening to my voice list, eating the tree which I commanded, that shall not eat a bit. Cares is the ground for thy sake. The ground is not cares but for you. For you it will be cares in soul shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy lives. Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee. And thou shalt eat the herb of the field in the swept of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground. For out of it that was taken, and out of it that that start out, and until thus thou shalt return. Amen. Now this is a curse on all forms of work. All types of work have been cursed and they have been cursed to be a source of frustration. You know, we have different types of soil. You get it Some, some ground that's very hard, like rock, hey, very difficult to plant, to grow. And when you plant and plant and when you are hoping for some harvest, what comes out Tones, thistles, something else, what you didn't expect. This is the case that has been placed on any work that will be done by a man on this earth, including pastors. Yeah, including pastors. I'm working. And as I've brought you here, I've called you to job. Beautiful What? Beautiful game. Beautiful farm. Fair. Beautiful hobby. Beautiful Job. Job beautiful work, and this the work that has been God has said in the sweat of thy face. So that is bread. That is why unless you are string and you apply string in any field, you never benefit from it. You never gets because a large part of your harvest will be tons and thistles. First of all, you see, if you're a doctor, a large part of your return will be tons and thistles. I didn't write the Bible. You may be a doctor. A large section. Yeah. When I gathered in my office the other day. Cardiothoracic surgeons, radiologists, what have you. I even need 1000 CDs donations I can't get and you should share their qualifications they don't have. They don't have 1000 to give. They do not know that I'm saying practically what I saw practically some of you doctors were there. I was asking them do you know how they have started medical school on its own then specialising to be a cardiothoracic surgeon or to be a a neurologist or to be a radiologist or to do a a Pediatrics. Oh what are you talking about? The exam, the vibes, the orals, the clinical exams, MCQS, essays, interviews, oh for years and then after that they are working. They have no house. You have a Toyota from the government, which they are paying a loan. I'm talking about how much they have worked. Most courses in the school, three years, two years. You've finished medical school, will do twice as much, plus one year. And by the time we finish, our friends have left, they've all gone somewhere, they've married and they've given birth. They are getting ready for their grandchildren be strong. So if you if you are cool about any job. So in the medicine, those who are not aggressive, they don't benefit from the school that they see it yields thistles a large part of your harvest of any job youth. That's why in every profession you see one or two that seem to do well. I mean to a certain extent like this hotel, it's a successful hotel. There are many hotels. Nobody comes and they are used for sex. You just go, you pay, you use the one hour and you come out. It's not a real hotel. Yeah, they are not useful. They are not used as hotels. A lot of people have those hotels. They have not yielded much. Yeah. So now you go to setting place. You ask yourself that which traveller will come to inside Sohu Tomb at this place to travel? Where was he going when he passed this hotel? Was he going now you see there's a hotel there. What are they doing there? Occasionally some people are able to break for when they say that, phones and pistols telling you that when you wept it yields as if it's yielding rubbish to you. So every job is like that. I see the truth. People don't like when you teach the truth. That's why I will encourage all of you, as you are hearing, choose early and I will come to that. Choose early a good line and pursue it with strength. You see what I'm doing in the ministry and and pursuing it with strength and aggression. That's why Nigerians have big churches. Nigerians have big because Nigerians are more aggressive by nature than Ghanaians. And the ministry responds to aggression. Yeah, it responds not, not only to me. Any job responds to force, so the ground is hard. It's castle. You need to hit very hard before it goes in. Hey, if we are not wild, there will be nobody in the First Love Church. Yeah, if we are not wild. Last Sunday we had almost 1000 people. We had 980 people and that's a good target, but not by just sitting this earth. They are going to come from their rooms, they are going to come from their rooms. They are going to come from their rooms. So you are waiting for them to come from their rooms to come to the church. You are joking. You don't understand the ministry, you don't understand the ground, you don't understand a large part of what it yields is tons and thistles. Yeah, in the ministry. The ministry is one of the jobs in this world. It's one of the works you can do. That's why it's called my father's business. That's why it's called the work of God. The work that has to do with God is work. It has all the characteristics of wet. It equally yields tons and tissues. When we go and do carnival, it's wet. We're working out of all this plenty carnival. You see some people will come, maybe they will come, then they will not come again. And you see largely tons and tissues. Nothing will resource. So when you send a phlegmatic on a mission and people who don't have a certain strength, they will always be saying, you said they will tell you, our bishops, the people in this town that they are not, they are not into God. You see, they are to so many things than to so many things. They are not the type that will be coming to the Church and they have been preaching to them every day and they are not, they are not attaining the spiritual height that we are certain. Many, many of the people, many of the if I take 100 missionaries and I have if I take 100 missionaries, the ones who succeed, they are strong, they are wild, they are acetting weak. Yeah, if they are cool, how about any job, any medicine qualifies the doctor. I think that I would like to work out the Ministry of Ministry of Health so that gradually things will be proven, things will be proven, things will be proven. Things will be improving. Things will not improve. Sit down. When I chose to be in the ministry, I did not choose holiday. I chose another version of work. It was equally work, but it's another version or in a different line. You see right now, as I speak, some people are in the bank writing things on their computer and sending things and doing things. Somebody is in a factory doing something. Somebody is at the oil refinery doing things in engineering inside. Somebody is at a hotel welcoming white people to come and stay. Somebody is clean and they are all work. Everybody will be tired by this evening. I am also. I'll be tired by this evening. It's also the work that I'm choosing to do. Equally this kind of work, equally tons and thisels. Those who work at the bank will reap largely tons and thisels. I have seen because I deal with them. I deal with them. Sometimes I look and say, but you have mentioned your salary. You have so much money, but you have nothing. You have only loans. Loans. Every area, every department I see them and I say, wow, every area of work is the same. It's work and it yields little. And so any cool person who comes without stress. So that's what I say thou therefore my son be stroked. They are coming to dig the ground, challenge you strength. Yeah. So as we are doing first lab checkup, we are. That's why I said I'm appointing more elders. That's why when I'm teaching at the camp, I will teach for a long time and using strength to to do to do what I'm doing. I'm not just saying that God will send their people to me so that I will teach them the word of God to teach them the word of God. You have you have sent a church in your little hall. You think that people are just going to come because you are beautiful, because you are nice. When I send missionaries, then they start sending plagmatic responses. The people in this area, they are not interested in this films, they are not into ministry, they don't like it. Your ministry cannot easily work, you have to be Wow, are you listening to me? That is why Nigerians. They have, yeah. When they go to London, the largest churches are Nigerians. And you see Ghanaians in those churches. Yeah, You see, you not often see many Nigerians in the Ghanaian Pastors Church. Yeah, they will advertise. They tell you that there is no reason why anybody in this town should not know about this program that we are holding. You might know about it. Yes, you must know. You must know that this programme is coming on. They put on banners, they wear the banner from the front and the back and they walk in town. For you to know that this programme is coming on this week. That's it. As we will be sitting down and say that we are praying to the Lord and the people will come. It is not like that. There is no work that responds to coolness. OK, how many want to be missionaries one day? Now you can't be a cool missionary. You just send me emails and say that Bishop and we are, we are really struggling. All the things that you said is true, but it's not easy. We have been here for so many years that it is not working. And some very cool brothers. Thank God for the a lady with a bit of fire. Sometimes it's the lady with a bit of fire that they marry that helps the the ministry. Oh, yeah, I can show you so many of my missionaries. It is their wives who have some fire because you see sometimes the pastoral heart, the the phlegmatism in them is even what gives them the pastoral heart. Because if to be a pastor you have to stomach rubbish, nonsense for a long time, people are doing things whatever. So they are very cool. They can just stay around and flow. So they have that pastoral heart and the wife usually in the marriage one is more on fire and more aggressive, and she sometimes is the one who helps the thing to work. That's true. That way she starts to be rude to her husband and starts to challenge him. Come on, move because the phlegmatic mind doesn't want to move it. He wants to rest. This is a time to rest. Take a step now. Hold on. The ministry will not respond to your coolness and your rest time, your Fiesta. So that is what happens in the middle. Sit down. To be a good pastor, you must be a phlegmatic. Yeah, lift phlegmatic. But at the same time, you need the strength. Yes. So all of you who are studying churches, you see, here is where we see as soon as I put somebody with some strength or see how the church will become more people. Yeah. So that's why the first is Timothy. First instruction, my son, my son, this work, they've bitten me many times. Oh, it's true. Be wow, it's true, my son. And you see, No, no, you know something when you say when I say how to be a good son, I'm giving you things that a father. You see, there are many things I can say to you, but there are some things I will stop. I will not tell you. You must know that because I don't know how you will understand it. So I won't say I will reach a point and at that point I will stop the rest. I leave it to you to decide. Yeah, you, you have, you are, you have married your or you are in a relationship and your beloved has gone to sleep with somebody and come or your wife or your husband and go to sleep with somebody and come and say, Bishop, what should I do? There are few people I will tell what to do. There are some people I will tell them what to do. I will tell them specifically that do this, that most people, I will tell you pray about it and and pray for wisdom. Sometimes I will give you options. I say you have seven options. Number one, you can do this. Number two, you can do #3 you can do #4 #5 these are numbers 3 and choose, but I won't tell. That's where I end most people that. But there are some people, they are sons enough or they are daughters enough that you can tell them do this because every step you take, there will be a result. And that result that this that will come from that. When it's happening, you will not turn on me and tell me if it wasn't for Bishop, I will not be here today. And this I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have this and that. So that's why I give you 7 options, so that you choose one. And the option, when you choose it, it is you yourself. You decide. And then you don't blame me. Yeah. So this, this letter, if Paul had never intended, it's a public letter, it's a private letter. It's a private letter to Timothy. This is a personal letter. Is it like John Wesley? John Wesley never intended his marriage to be a matter of public discussion. In some of his letter, he faced his life seamlessly with points. He wrote to his letter, his wife in points #1 #2 #3 #425 points he wrote to his wife. Somebody found the letter later when he was dead and found the letters and so on and published them. That's not come, so they are not prepared public things. He was trying to say #1 aspect me. No, don't suspect me, accept to be a private person, respected by God and me don't have to be important #3 do not say through my letters #4 this 567 so many. It was a personal, but now it's become a matter of public discussion, analysis. Some people come up with different conclusions. And this letter is just like that. It's a private letter that you tell your persons actually like if I'm giving you advice in the ministry, I say, my friend, you are a minister in Burkina Faso, you are a minister in Mali, you are minister in Chad, you are minister in Nigeria, you are missionary in Ghana. You are ministering here. Look, be very well. You see, I'm wild. Never, never be deceived by my appearance. Do I look cool to you? That's why at the beginning I was deeply announced. I said I don't pack another side. Every coin has two sides. You want to see that side? You can be welcome. Welcome. Yes. Wow. So if you're not prepared to be strong, I don't want you to. I want you to resign during the next coffee break. You're going to have lunch or whatever it is, but I need you to resign because it's for strong people who are prepared. You are coming to Dick, are coming to Dick, are coming to suffer, are coming to work. Don't start. Shut up. You are tired now. You can't be tired. You can't just give up nobody. You will have nobody in your church. As I'm good for Liberia, you think I've just the people will come to the crusade. I've sent people there already. I've sent gas trucks. I'm wild as I'm going. I'm wild. I'm. Just going like that. No, just sitting there thinking that things will be given to you. So the first thing is to be strong, that you have to use strength. Why should you be strong if you not need to use strength when your choir is getting finished? It's because you are not strong. So the second thing for a son to do is to be strong in the grace that is available. Amen. Now, what does that mean? Everybody has a grace that is on the person's life. Now, if I listen to Joel Osteen, those of you who know Joel Osteen, he has very nice preaching. I don't think I preach as nicely as he does. Very pleasing and very nice. And it's, yes, he appeals to you, You, no matter how old you are. You, you will listen to him. No matter how young he is, how much younger than you he is. You understand? Yeah. That's that's his grace. That's his grace. If I look at the Archbishop Duncan William, he has a grace. He's a survivor. One day, he said it is not what you have done. What have you done? He said it is what have you been through and what have you survived? What have you suffered? He said That is what I need to know. What have you suffered? What have you been through? He has a grace. If I look at Wynes Chapel, we have a grace, a wonderful grace. When we went to Guinea Bissau, way up in Bafata, way up in Bafata, in Guinea Bissau, a forgotten place, dead town with nothing. There's nothing in the town. There was Wynes Chapel. There was Wynes Chapel Pasta and when I had the pastors conference, there is no, but there are no pastors. I don't know if there are 6 churches there, just a few. The smallest, fastest conference I've ever had just a few people like that was the pastor who was taking notes aggressively and I told you the Nigerian, they have to have strengthening the notes he was taking. He was writing the notes seriously. And I thought I I could claim it is the most serious pastor here who understands the ministry. Yeah, he was the pastor. I didn't know who he was by the fan. So that's the witness pastor. Yeah, that's him. You remember? Do you remember there was a guy who was right before he came, I was teaching the pastors, and he was the one interpreting for me in French. I mean, he was. So I mean, he had studied and gone very far to speak the language, French and their local language. So when even the Guineans themselves were not interpreting Portuguese, you mean, sorry, the Portuguese, I mean, they were Guinea Bissau, yes, they couldn't speak Portuguese, but he himself could speak their local language, speak Portuguese and also speak English. So he was the one interpreting for me. Strong guy. Do you think you can stay in a forgotten place? Well, there are no electricity poles or wires. Huh. Just as I could. We are, we are. We are here by the grace of God. And it is only by the power of God things will be all right. Don't worry. Everything is going to be OK. Slowly but surely, things will be better. Now, now, now. Let phlegmatic. How many of you are phlegmatic? Tell the truth. Raise your hand. Then. Why are you shouting like that? What do you hear about that? What are you going to do about it? Strength. Don't blame anybody. If your ministry is not working, you better marry. You are married already. Who is your wife? You have some more fire than him and later you are also lift like my thief. Don't lift like my thief. Look, so that no town will respond to you. No hall, No, no hall, no tech, no group will respond to you coming coolly. Take it from me. Yeah. As we've come with our buses or come, you think if we are cool? The bus I know should tell you that there's some serious wildness that has come. Hey. So as I came to be the first time, I didn't come coolly. I come with my intentions. Yeah, I should have been at the crusade. But now because of first lecture, that I'm still here. Yeah. So that's why I'm giving you instructions before I go for the crusade. You'll be strong. And I tell you, because the ground is scarce, it responds to strength. So once you start applying strength, yeah, it has to respond. Yeah, even without anointing, without anointing, it's true. Forget about anointing for now as I'm on this point. Just physical strength and love those anointing and I know some people, they are very anointed and melancholic. The anointing flows through their minds and their souls and their that when it starts to move the arresting and allow the face of God is good. I feel the presence of God, I feel the love of God. I enjoy the glory of God. I feel it, Doctor Anointing. I feel it for the roses. Anointing. Oh Jesus, let me lie in your presence, breathing, Breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. I feel it, I feel glory. Let me rest for some time. Silence in the presence of the Lord, but no movement. So sit down. You need to be strong in the Lord, and you need to be strong in the grace. Now every church has a grace. And what is our grace? What grace has God-given to us? What? What grace do we have? Soul winning, church planting, working for the Lords all day long, church growth, loyalty. These are also what we have. We don't have much, but this is what we have. Do you understand? It's a grace. Yeah, it's a grace. I let them laugh. You may laugh. It's like you may scream, you may laugh. But gradually, with the small, small, small, small churches, it becomes a lot. Small, Small, small, small, small, small. It becomes a lot. Yeah. Is it not true? Yeah, you may laugh or you may scream, but gradually it yields something. Because you see, not every church where they can teach the people to be pastors. Most churches you can be in the church when you finish. So you are a doctor or you are now stationed at the ministry of operations, Ministry of Health, ministry of advancement, isn't it? So you are now the chief director of the Ministry of Readers, isn't it? No, we are happy. So one of our members is the chief director, one of our members, the principal nursing officer at the International Hospital for the Blind, isn't it? Yes. So our sister is the principal director of this. This one is so and so as you receive appointment to the United Nations. Oh wow, glory be to God and the grace they have even even they even give it in their vision. Our aim is to raise leaders in all business. This, this, this, this, this and other things, spheres of life. I I don't have any spheres of life visions. Do you understand? It's like for me, it's working for the Lord. That's, that's the grace that I also have. Yeah. So once you are here, you have to be sort of one in the things that work here. Look, we are not trying to raise up leaders for all spheres of life at all to work in Shell or Tigo. And I'm not raising you up for Tigo. I have no plans for Tigo or NTN at all or Glow. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not raising you up for business. I don't. I know that I don't believe, I believe in business, but that is not what we have here. So if that's the grace that you want, you may resign during the next World coffee break, isn't it? What is your name? Edinam, This Edinam and this Edinam. All right, Elena, you you can resign if you want to resign during the next break. Because you you don't have to stay here. It's not my fault. Do you feel forced? No, I don't. You don't feel forced. But what about Elena? Sure you want to stay here. Don't you want to be a sphere of life? No, no. Only don't want the most spheres of life to be a leader in the spheres of life. No. You want to do what? Work for the Lord. Work for the Lord? Work for the Lord. Yeah, all day long. And not, not everywhere. They can teach you how to preach. I'm telling you many places they cannot teach you how to preach. I want you to understand that you can be in the church for a lot and it's a good church, but they don't have that grace to teach you how to be a cheaper like how to feed or gather, carry, leave. They don't have songs. They don't have songs that are about the the work of the Lord. You can sing that one. Yeah. The songs are not about the work for the Lord. Now it's the time. Oh, now it's the time I'm taking. Now it's the time. Let's go. Now you have the chance. Don't let it sit by you. You must take it by the hands. Never, never let it go. And you must part for Him, and you must part for him. It is Jesus calling down. It is Jesus. Listen, listen. Don't look to your left step, don't look to your right. You stand alone when you meet the Lord on the judgement day. On the judgement day, Oh, now you have the chance. The Lord is falling you. Please don't let the devil treat you. You must listen to the Lord. You must work for him. Oh, you must work for him. It is Jesus falling now. It is Jesus. Listen, listen. Don't look to you, Don't look to you. Don't look to you with that. Don't when you meet that guy. Oh, I'm a duck day. I'm a duck day. When you have the chance. What is Morning News? Please don't let the devil tease you. You must listen to the eye. You must work for him. Oh, you must work for him. Oh, you must work for him right now. You must work for him. They say I must work for you. What do you want to do? I must work for you. Say, say, say. I must for him right now. I must testify. I must. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I must. I want to work for girls morning, noon and night. Right now I love. You've got to be strong. I must. You've got to be firm. I must work for his day. I must work for him. Right now I work for him. Hey, now is the time the Lord is calling you. Now is the time the Lord is calling you must work for you. Right now. I must work for one more thing. Now is the time the Lord is calling you to say, Now is the time the Lord is calling you. I must work for him. Say you know it, you know it, you know it. You know it. You know it, You know it. You know it. Let's join and say I must work. I must work for him. Yes. Hello. I must work for him right now. I must one more time say I must work. But yeah, yeah, yeah. I must work for the last time. I must work for you. Sit down. Now listen, I am teaching you how to do the beautiful job. I have given you 7 dimensions of the beautiful job, isn't it? And the first one as to be a son, just being a son will make you be able to work. And already you can see I've given you only two out of the 50 points, the strong and the strong in the grace. So this is the grace that we have. So that means that on campus, instead of having six stretches, you see that when we have only 6 churches on campus, we are not being strong in the grace because the grace that God has given us is to have churches and leaders. Not like nice pleasant preaching of messages of hope because most of our messages are messages of truth. You see, hope is not truth per SE. Hope makes you happy and hopeful. But we say, yes, we can, Yes, we can. It is true, but it's also not so true. But it's hopeful. It's more of hope than anything else. Do you understand? I am not much of A hope preacher except to pastors like to you. I'm preaching hope that you can work for God. The hope is in the work of God, Hope in the work of God. It is a grace and that grace that God has given to us. Are you listening to me? You have to be strong in it. So if we have 6 halls, Saba Hall, Lago Hall, Iqapo Hall, Vota Hall, Commonwealth Hall, and then Pentagon and whatever, Pentagon and New York City Hall and you have 7 churches on campus. We are not being strong in the grace. Because it's like we are not being wild in the area that we are good at or that God has given us the grace in. Because there are only 7, you see. Because we should have at least 50 churches. Because there are at least 50 people who can be taught even to be sons and who can be taught to be daughters and who can be taught how to do the work and who are being taught. In fact, you are learning it. It's not only seven people who can be elders. It means that what you have, they are not being wild in it. So if you have a church, you see the grace that we have is to be able to train like I've trained people who are in Jamaica, you know, like as I've had my crusader, I called my pastor, I said, oh, my pastor in Jamaica, he should have come to be with me in Liberia so that I can fellowship with him a bit. I've missed him and my pastor in my Guyana, I've missed him, so he should come. So I call them to come. They are my, my, they are my sons. So I call them to come and be with my pastor in the Maryland and say he should come, I've missed them, they should come so I can eat with them and go round and do crusade with them and be with them. So they got their sons. But I see a lot of people, they don't have anybody. They can say come, they don't have it, but they don't have that grace. But I see God has given us that grace. So instead of just coolly like, OK, yeah, it's whatever. Look, we have to be wild. And the more is the more branches that will even bring the growth. Like fifty of us, because I can get 50 people who can have 10 members. I can. We can. Yes, we can. How many of you think you can gather 50 people in this world? 10 people in this world you cannot gather. So when we are on campus and we are taking 7 halls, No, no, it's a mistake, you see. So where you go, you start your church somewhere. Maybe you are a missionary, maybe you are a pastor somewhere and you know that the grace we have been given, teaching, loyalty, church plugs in this. You have to let more people start churches. That is what will make the main churches because when they come together, that's when you see that that's the grace that we have. The grace is not in the single pastor standing there and preaching hope messages. That's one type of grace. That is why the introduction of Basils has made the churches grow, because Basils are like churches, more churches. That is why I don't want you to just play instruments. You can. There are 10 people. You can feed, you can gather, you can carry, you can lead. At least this world that you've come to. Young lady. What is your name? Vida. You cannot carry, You cannot feed 10 people. You cannot. You can. Can you gather 10 people? Yes. You cannot carry 10 people who don't want to come. Yes, I can. You can come here, you can lead, lead 10 people. Yes, I can. You can. What school are you in? Kalik University College Catholic University College Tsunyani Tsunyani. You cannot carry 10 people in this tsunyani. Small 10 is small in number. It's small for her. Look at a small girl like this is a small for her. It's so small. If you are my daughter or my son, you must be able to feed. Have I not been feeding you at the stage? Feeding, Feeding, feeding, feeding, feeding, feeding. Happy to Sunday, Tuesday. Come. There's there's always feeding. Feeding. Can you not gather people? Have I not been gathering you? Can you not carry people? These are resistant people. Resistant. When you gather, they don't come. Then you carry. Why is refusing to be gathered? You carry. Men who are gathering them and they are refusing to be gathered. You say, my friend, Come on. No more argument. Let's go and lead. You cannot lead. You can lead. Amen. Wow. Sit down. So look, a lot of people don't even understand loyalty. Let's not even understand it. We don't know what is it about when we are teaching about they don't. I see we have it. So when we are if, if not many churches don't have a pastor who has written books, you say if you go to many churches and you say preach the pastor, what has he? Has he written any? He hasn't written anything. Even if he's written one book that he launched some years ago and that's it. 2000 copies were printed and that's it. And you come to a lighthouse church and the book is used once a year. Then it means that you are not being strong in the grace that is here because there is a special grace where the person is able to write a book and write another book on different, different subjects that can be read and understood and even the books can be taught. It's also a grace. So when you are no wounding it today, there is something wrong with you. I'm coming this way, but this side is cooler. You know that you guys are. OK, sit down. Looks like my thing at the back. Maybe this light should be demoted to the back so light shines on us. Give them some warmth at the back so that we can be cool over here. You see, there is a grace. Think about it. And also many people write books which cannot be taught. But you see, with my books you can hold it and teach it as if you wrote it. Is it not true? You read the verse and then the point is there. That's all. And the window is also there. Sit down. I'm trying to explain. This is something when you are in something for a long time, you don't know that it's a grace. You think that's how it is. But maybe if you come from somewhere else, you come and say, wow, So when you are going to marry, there's actually a book, Emmanuel, with pictures. Sit down. It's a grace. A lot of people don't have that. Yeah, I am here with you at the camp. We are going for hours as you are doing the hours and hours. When you add it up in in university, it's called credit hours. So it's like you are in a university. For instance, if you listen to messages or lectures for over a certain number of hours, it adds up to a course. So actually many of the camps you've done, you see that you've actually done some courses. It's also a grace. So I'm saying all this to help you to see that the grace that is here now, the grace you see, the grace is also for young people. If you listen to me preaching, you realize that many of you are 30 years old. This one is 31 years younger than me. 31 or 32 years younger. There are some of you here. You are 30 years younger than me. Yeah. OK. When I was 25, your parents hadn't met. Yes, some of you. When I was having my wedding, your parents hadn't met. And I'm preaching to you. I enjoy preaching to you. And you at your age, you don't find me boring or out of whatever. It's also a grace because you, you'll be surprised. You go to other places and you start to say, you say the old man has come. Are you listening? So that is the point that I'm making, that there is something that there is a grace upon. Look at how we send missionaries to countries, islands, places that we normally wouldn't go to. Guineans don't normally go to such places. It's a grace. Some years ago a brother came to me. You know, he was, he was a Nigerian pastor. A friend of mine told me that God, I said, I see God is going to give you Africa. They are going to start to. To send people to different parts of Africa. But I have not sent even one person. I've never sent any mission. I just. OK. Uncle James told me something, you know, he said when somebody tells you something, you don't understand. He said told me. He told me something. He said put it in the wardrobe and leave it there and see, Yeah, later on you open a wardrobe and you understand it. I just send even one person anywhere. Neither do I have any idea about that. But you can see now South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, There's, there's, there's different more. We are spending more and I want to say I enjoy being with you, but I, I also, we are working. So at a point I'm going to have to say bye, bye. We meet in heaven. Heaven is where you don't say bye bye. But on earth you will say bye, bye to everybody and bye bye's are not enjoyable. Yeah, even when Rebecca and Kobe sing that song, I'll be thinking of you. You feel sad. We don't even know who is saying bye bye to you, but we just feel sad. That's why funerals are sad, because we know the person has gone to a better place, but they are still sad because you said bye bye. So look at the grace that we have. And there is a grace for branches, elders, shepherds. So now we are no more joking with that grace. All of you are now elders. If you are here, you are an elder. You are going to be a pastor. That's why you think when registering, you are registering. You think I'm joking? I love you, all of you. They are all bastards. Yeah, I see your look. Sit down. One day I went for a camp. When I went for a camp and I I told them bring me 6 chairs. Yeah. And they brought us bring me 6 chairs. Shoot me. And I said arrange it at the back here, 123456 behind. Yeah, and I said this six, that's how I started. This six test will be filled by the time I'm leaving. And there are 6 tests for missionaries that I'm sending to South America. Yeah, because that's how I come from America in a long flight. I wasn't joking. You may be joking, but I'm not joking. I'm dead serious. And I said these sisters will be filled, and they are going to be filled with you. Some people are going to volunteer their lives to go to South America. Yeah, by the time I finished this camp. Yeah. And that's the camp I preached. Ades. Yeah, Ades. No, I said South. It was called South American camp or something. That's what it's called. And I called that same group and preached others sit. I said who will go? I will stand there. Who will go, who will go? And one guy got up, another got up. And now many of them listen to England again. Not even one of them. They are all there. Yeah, the others have come here and I'm talking to you. Think not that it is a joke. It's a serious thing, he said. Grace that is upon us and we intend to be wild about. The girls can be pasted, the boys can be pasted. You can work for God even if even if God hasn't called you. The Bible says that at a time ought to come when you ought to teach. So even if there is no calling, Hebrews 5 is on your side. A time has come when you should be a teacher. That's all. A time when you ought to be a teacher, that has come. It's a time when you ought to be a teacher, and that time has come. And I'm going to expect you to teach Saddam. Yeah, all of us are going to experience the same things, but it's up to us to be wise. Amen.
