02. The Need To Follow The Movement

Welcome to track #2 of Why are you not a missionary? So, my dear friends, the first reason why you need to become a missionary is what I've given you. The cloud in the church is moving. I'm going to give you 7. Over the time that we are here, we're going to have seven of these reasons, and the first one is the cloud. Yeah, cloud is moving in the church and the cloud started moving some time ago when I first started to preach about missionary work in full time ministry. And some people were annoyed with me for preaching about full time ministry. Amen. But you shouldn't be angry with me because full time ministry, it's not something that is predictable. God is not predictable. And it is advice, you know, in life, in war, in everything, not to be predictable. We are able to hunt wild animals because they are very predictable. You know they will come in the evening. You know, they sleep on these type of trees. You know, they go under these type of leaves. That's how it's not how you wonder how can somebody go to the forest to hunt a snake and actually find one? It's because they are very predictable. So your predictability is what makes you an animal. So the devil knows he can predict your behavior when he dangles on few pounds in front of you. He knows. He knows exactly what you are going to do. Yeah. He knows exactly what you are going to do. If you just put something that you know, you know he will come. Yeah. If you put a female there, know how you behave. If they put a, if they put a male there, they know exactly what you are going to do. And that is how we are able to hunt lions, tigers, leopards, all of them. Well, we know that the leopard will walk alone. Leopards will be alone if you want them for some time. They all behaving the same way. A leopard will be on its own, Lions will be in groups, hyenas will be in groups. They will give birth in a hole. Snakes will lie under types of leaves. I mean, there are people. I watch a film of a guy who went to India to hunt for a Python, a cobra. A king cobra. Yeah, it went all the way. He sat and said, oh, no, this is this. This. We find different snakes. I'm looking for a king cobra. And he sat and sat and sat and sat and sat. And he finally found a king cobra. Hey, and you ask yourself how could you find that is because they are so predictable and that is the way the devil has caught many of us because we are so predictable. When they dangle something in front of you, know, bite, you bite straight away. When you do this, when you follow the Holy Spirit, you will not be so predictable. It's true. You'll not be so predictable as all. He will come. The armies, you do this. Oh, the armies. He's going to stay there till this time. We'll get him at this place. He'll do this. We'll do that. Oh, he will follow money. He'll follow this. He'll follow that. No, because you are no more following the normal dictates of a human being. You are following something superior, something higher. Amen. So if you want your life to go higher, move out of the level of an animal who is so predictable, you can predict his he will do this when he finish school. Let's put this there. He will go this way. When is this will happen? Let's give him this. He will do that and we know put food before he will eat. He can never stay without eating. He can never stay without eating bound as you eat. I mean some of you ladies, you, you really love the Lord. Sometimes you love the Lord more than we the brothers. It's true. I mean, I feel that ladies love the Lord sometimes more than the brothers, especially when I see them worshiping and so on. I say, oh, it is. It's really, it's really something you get a feeling, you know, but you are so predictable. We just have to bring a second brother there and that's it. Just just just one brother. You become a lion, a tiger, rhinoceros, a giraffe, a snake. You become one. You can be caught. Hey, is it true or it's not true? So today is the beginning of the end of your animal predictability. In the name of Jesus, you, you cannot be predicted again from today. You can therefore not be caught again from today. In the name of Jesus. You see, when you see money here, you see job, career, future position, and the person says no, I want to go here. Then you see what they predicted. You didn't do it. What they knew you would do, you didn't do it. And you realize that they can't catch you. And that's how you see that you escaped many demonic things. Yeah, they knew you. Bomb is coming the night, and you came in the day. They knew that you, you would opt to serve the Lord when you retire in your old age. But you came earlier, Earlier than your old age. You came. Oh, we were expecting you in the evening. Because if you want to look at a lion, you have to go in the evening. You want to see them hunting, you have to go in there. They come out in the evening. But not knowing that you will come out during the day. And you are super. I once watched a set of lions that were day hunters. Yeah, they were very unusual. They hunting the day. Yeah. And they ate only buffaloes. They don't eat any other thing, only buffaloes. And they were very big and usually big. And they ate, they were specialized in eating buffaloes. Then suddenly you become an unusual animal because you are a little different. It's true. And that's why sometimes you see pasta preaching in the village, you know? And it's like, wow, you shouldn't be here. The devil knows. You'll only be found in Germany. You'll only be found in England, you'll only be found in America. So no, I'm going to this other place. Suddenly you went out of the past, the place where you could be caught. Amen. Sit down. But actually the reason why I was telling you that is because God cannot be predicted either. There is no way to tell what God is going to do. And it's because we are so predictable that we expect God to be predictable. We expect God to do things this way, that way, at this time, this way, that way. And so about God is not predictable. You can't, you can't tell what God is going to do next. That's why when the cloud was moving, sometime it move at two days, one month, one year, five days. You can't tell what is God doing? Why? Why would God bless me and why would God bless me and give me a British password and they asked me to leave. I've worked so hard and I mean I've got all this and stay this and that and say I should leave to go well, why is that the way to behave whatever? What is the use of all this? I mean, why did God allow me to go to school and learn all these things? Then suddenly he's telling me I should go and throw myself on the field. But you see, if that's where he is, he'll be better off there. Yeah, he'll be better off there. So God, listen, there's animals, then there's, there's human beings, then there's God. The lower you go, the more predictable you are. Animals are the most. You can never teach an animal not to do something. I tell you, they are very, very, very dangerous. Very, very. I mean, they will strike, they will bite, they will eat. I know a dog which went into a chicken coop and it bit off the heads of all the chickens. It bit their heads off, just the head because it was full. It had some and was full, but still there's that edge to just bite. Do you understand? And so that is why you, you, you don't go near because you know that it bites. It bites. One guy was just going through the reception and there was a dog lying there and he asked, does your dog bite? The guy said no. And then the dog attacked him and bit him and said, but I don't. You say your dog doesn't bite. He said it's not my dog. It's not my dog. The dog is not my dog. That's not my dog. No, he said it's not my dog. The dog that bites it. The dog was lying. Then he asked please as your dog bite, said no. So he wasn't the dog attacked him. You say your dog doesn't bite, say it's not my dog. The dog is not my dog. My dog doesn't bite. But if you are wise, you have to know that dogs bite. No matter how calm it looks there, Charlie, assume that it will bite. Yeah. Amen. Are you there? So, ladies and gentlemen, you must know that the will of God is not predictable. That's why when we watch how people die, you can never tell what is the will of God by by someone's death. Never. Last year, 2 passes on lighthouse died. Both of them died from a gunshot. One died in Afghanistan as he was pursuing his military career or whatever career security career and earning a lot of money. Another died in a village. I mean, who was pursuing who was earning peanuts? I'm sure his his salary would be. And if a small fraction of the tithe of this other pasta. Yeah, because he was ending just peanuts. When I say peanuts, I mean something small peanuts in the village. He didn't have a car. In fact, when he came to Accrava that he stopped, he told his wife, said to me, we sat on buses for 10 hours. They told bus from here to here, bus from here to here, bus. And when the armed robbers came to the house, they had only 40 CDs. Yeah, which is about, which is about about £20. That was all the man that they had 40 CDs. Yeah, they didn't have. They didn't have money. Yeah, but he also died. I have from a gunshot. And all of them, all, both of them look odd of both deaths. You can never tell what is happening by just looking around him, seeing this, this, therefore this, therefore this means, therefore this. No, no, no. Because God may want somebody, God may kill somebody. God may allow somebody to be killed because he's in the will of God, and he may also cause somebody to be killed because he's out of the will of God. Oh, yeah, yeah. Cry. I mean, so when when we had a funeral, you can't tell this person lying there could be lying there because he was so much in the will of God and that person could also be lying that because he's out of the will of God, that's why he's also dead. I mean, John the Baptist, what did Jesus say There is none greater born of a woman than this man 30 years old. He's dead 30. Jesus also 33. But we also know that if you dishonor parents, you do certain things, you don't obey the will of God. You can also die early, equally at the age of 30. Yeah. So you, you can't even tell what exactly God. That's why I said that this cloud is probably the most important thing that you must be able to figure out that it is God here or he's not here. Because just looking at everything from the outside, you will never know. You'll never know. You never know. You can't tell. You must know God for yourself and you must be able to determine what God is doing. Amen. Are you listening to me So God is not predictable. This is the point that I was making. You are animals are so predictable. That's why we hang them. Human beings are also very predictable, but the people who distinguish themselves in life and in society are unpredictable. Oh, I can give you an example. Let's say Claudia sitting here, it's not normal for a Mexican to come and live in Ghana. This is unpredictable. You could never have predicted that. But I could predict that a Ghanaian here could come and live in Ghana. Do you understand? It's not predictable for somebody who is flourishing and prospering in England to leave England and go to Mali. It's it's the opposite, but it's, it's more if you open the flat gates again, a lot of people will come to the UK. So more predictable as animals, less predictable. Men are also quite predictable. But but the closer you get to God, the more unpredictable you are that you couldn't predict that this person would do this. And then God, yeah, you cannot tell what he's going to do. Will he stay for one day in a nice place like this? I'm sure he'll stay here for 10 years. Then the next day he says, let's go. Yeah. The next day says we are going. So, my friend, I want you to be someone who follows the Lord, and that's why I'm preaching what I believe. The Lord I put on my heart to preach to you. Yeah, because I would love to have more of you. Stay here and prosper and give me offerings like Isaac said. Go and make me venison such as I love, that I may eat and bless you. I would love to let you go to the fields and bring me some venison, such as I love that I may eat and bless you, such as my soul laughs and I eat and bless you. But rather you see me saying, hey, live where there's venison, a lot of venison, and go where there's only a desert and become a poor person. Hey, am I mad? I see God is not predictable because He's God. We can't tell whether this cloud is going to stay for two days or for two years. Amen. By whichever way he goes, you must commit yourself to follow the cloud. Follow where God is, follow where God's presence is. I tell you that is where the But without me, you can do nothing. And I'm predicting that. I tell you, a lot of people who give themselves to the missionary cause and the missionary work, I'm going to find the things which people are trying to find. I'm going to find them without ever seeking them. Yeah, at least from my own example. What I don't seek is what I have. It's true. What I don't want is what is given to me all the time. All the time. Literally. I live in a constant river because God told me I had it in a vision at the beginning of my ministry. I saw I was walking on a road and I came across a heap of gold. It was like this sand. And the Lord said to me, don't stop here. But when I saw, I said, this is, I mean Charlie, I mean this is this is there's nothing. I mean this is this is that I wanted to secure myself. But it happened to me in real life also. I saw it, you know, Yes, I entered a place and I suddenly wanted to own it. Hey. And I saw that animalistic thing rising up in me. And the law said, come on, come on now. Come on, now. Come on, I wanted to have what I didn't have. I said hello, look at what you are doing. The law said just keep moving on the road, which I am leading you. This thing, there's plenty. Amen. So it is a blessing to follow the cloud because in following the cloud, there are many, many things that people who are not following the cloud will never see and will never get. Amen. So you must follow the clock, Philippians chapter 4, verse 12. And I'm in my book, page 12, the season of full time ministry, Philippians 412. It says I know how to be abased and I know how to abound everywhere and in all things. I am instructed both to be full, to be hungry, both to abound, and to suffer need. Amen. Christianity. Christianity involves the following #1 abasement. Abounding. You need abound. I don't know aboundments, but abound abase being abased. Abounding #2 #3 to be full. Christianity involve being full #4 it involve being hungry #5 it involves abundance. Abundance, Amen, number six, it involves suffering, need, and then #7 it involves being everywhere, everywhere. He says, I, I know how to abound everywhere. And then #8 it involves all things, all things Hallelujah. OK, so these eight things are part of your Christian race, Amen. Abounding, abounding means like you are happy, joyful, flowing. Things are getting bigger, greater, better than abase down. Things are down. It's part of Christian, the Christian life being down, under, under, yeah, that's that's part of Christianity being under down. Things are not working. There is nothing. It's part of Christianity and I'm saying it's part of the will of God because Paul said I am being instructed, not that it has happened to me, but I am instructed to actually do something that makes me abast Amen, abast down. Hey, you see, if God says do something that's taking you down, will you do it? If God said do something that takes you down, makes you lower, makes you less, makes you have less, makes you be anger to join the lower part of the society, will you do it? Will you go there? Will you be it abound, a base? Then what's the next one? To be full, to be happy and to be full. Full of food, full of money, full of joy, full of everything that is good. Then to be hungry, to fast, to not have food, to live without food, to be broke. Then the next one, abundance, plenty. You have everything. I mean, it's also an instruction. And then to suffer needs. Now if Paul was instructed in all these things, how can you resist? If the instruction has anything to do with suffering need is God. God didn't speak. Can it be? Can it be when God instructs you to move to a place where your salary will your your your tithe will become your salary. That is what you are paying a tithe now will become your salary there. What do you think? But you see what I'm saying is that if God is saying to you go to this place and and suffer need, that's the best place to go to. That's the best place to go to. You will live to find out that it is true where the cloud is. Be there. If there is no cloud there, don't be there, no matter how attractive it looks. I promise you that. So I'm speaking to all of you, to hacking diligently to the voice of the Lord. Now as season has come in our church where God is looking for people and it started around a time once when I came to the Uki had a camp and I put 6 chairs out there. What the what's the name of that camp? The prophetic camp, South American camp. It was after that we had others and all out and all those ones. But those are 6 people there. And I've said that these six tests will be filled before I finish the camp. There are 6 people that are going to be sent to South America or to the mission field and it's going to happen. You see from around that time the cloud has been moving. That is moving here because you people, you have a lot, you have received a lot, you've heard a lot, you know a lot. There was a time to receive, but it's a time now to give. You get it. You have a lot that you don't know that you have. And there are a lot of people waiting. If you don't go, they will never know. If you sit here and you start harassing yourselves and patting yourself on the back, congratulating yourself, long before the time, if you congratulate yourself, you are going to destroy yourself. You'll be surprised at what will destroy you. A fire from within will destroy you. Yeah, a fire from within. OK, I think you can close the door now. Yeah, just close it for a few minutes, then we'll open again. Gentlemen, are you, are you refreshed? You can come and sit down once you are. I've seen some other people that will replace you. So you, you must accept the fact that the time has come to go. Who you, you can you sing that song for me? Either is not here. You know how to sing here. There was a time. Sing for me. Never is a season. To every purpose there is a time. The One who made the whole world has everything in His hand. He wants the world to know Him. In all His righteousness, He has called us into His Kingdom for such a time as this. It's our time to believe. It's our time to love and give. There was a time where to receive. Now it's time for us to give. Standing hand in hand, Together, let's reach out and touch our world. Can you hear the Spirit calling? It's our time. There was a time when we were learners. Now it's time for us to teach. There was a time we used to follow. It's our time to believe. It's our time to love and give. There was a time away to receive. Now it's time for us to give. Standing hand in hand, together, let's reach out and touch our world. Can you hear the speed Spirit calling? It's our time. It's our time to believe. It's our time to love and give. There was a time where to recede, but now it's time for us to again standing hand in hand, together, let's reach out and touch our world. Can you hear the spirit calling? It's our tie. Powerful. Thank you. Right, so I am. What am I sharing with you about? What am I talking about? It involves all these. And so when the cloud has moved to a place of need, you must move to the need. When the cloud moves to prosperity, you'll be surprised how difficult it is to accept prosperity when you have suffered need for a long time. Yeah, it's true. I mean, I've had that problem of accepting prosperity. It's true because you, you, you only know how to suffer luck. And you, you, you, you are not doing the work. You never did the work to get anything. So when you begin to get something, you, you are afraid of it. It's true. So you'll be surprised to find out that it's an instruction you didn't have to actually learn how to. Yeah. I mean, Can you imagine having such a problem in your life where you have to get accustomed to being prosperous, learn how to eat venison? It's true. So all these are part of the things that God instructed and it's still on the theme that God is not predictable. The cloud moves anywhere. He may move towards this, may move towards that, move towards this, move towards that. But you also must decide that I'm not going to be a predictable animal. Amen. You can easily predict a Ghanaian who gets a visa. He will leave. That's why other embassies, they ask, will you come back? No camera. So I'll come back, right? You see, they, they know you that you will not come back. How many when you are coming, you said you will come back, but you didn't go back. Raise your hand. You see now. So when, when, when they, when they ask you that question, they they know. And when they suspect you of lying, don't blame them. Second Timothy, chapter 2. That's one.
