02. The Purpose Of The Vineyard, Fig Tree, Wife, Salt, Light

Welcome to track #2 of warnings of purpose, The purpose of the vineyard. Isaiah chapter 5. Let me sing now for my well beloved, a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill, and he dug it all around and removed its stones and planted it with the choicest vine, and he built a tower in the middle of it, and he hewed out a wine VAT in it. Then he expected it to produce good grapes, but it only produced wetless ones. And now all inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah judged between me and my vineyard. What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes, did it produce weightless ones? So now let me tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed. I will break down its wall and it will become trampled upon. I will lay its waste. It will not be pruned or hauled, but briars and thorns will come up, and I will also charge the clouds to rain. No rain on it. Amen. American Bible of Isaiah, chapter 5. This is the story and the teaching on the purpose of a vineyard. One of the cases that Moses gave to the people of Israel was when he said, you shall plant vineyards, but you shall not drink the wine thereof. You shall plant olive trees, but you will not anoint yourself with the oil. So when a person plants a vineyard, he is expecting some grapes. So now the question. Is. The purpose of the vineyard was to produce grapes so that you could have wine. Now when the when the thing does not produce what it is supposed to produce, then the owner you see is just. You just have to, if you want to understand God or even understand when somebody is quarreling with you, put yourself in the person's position and give a parable with you on the other side. Then you understand it better. That's what I'm saying, that you, you, you put yourself in my position. I'm trying to build a church and you are trying to take one of them. Just exchange yourself, or even do. It in the form of a parable. Supposing I've got farms, yeah. Farm here, farm here, farm here, farm here. And you are trying to take over one of the farms and I don't understand it. Will I not relate with you like I will relate with a thief? You shouldn't expect any other response. It's one of the responses. You should expect a response of how we will relate with. A person who is a thief. And it will not be nice. And you see another side that you were not expecting. Are you there? You've gone home. Now God is expecting some good grapes from us as pastors. Pastors. God is expecting some good grapes because the. Question God is asking what? Else should be put into the vineyard or you didn't read that best. So now tell me, what more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I expected it to produce good grades, did it produce worthless ones? So when we don't, as pastors, produce what God is expecting of us, then we should expect a response from the Lord. Which he has defined already. Which I am also warning that it is often related to death. He said I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed. Look, everybody's body has a hedge around it and a wall around it. There is a wall around your liver. That is why it has not turned into primary liver cell carcinoma. There is a wall around your pancreas, that's why you have not developed cancer of the head of the pancreas. There is a wall around your colon, that is why you have not developed colonic cancers. There is a wall around your breast, that is why your breast is still intact. All these you know, you may not know, but in the removal of the protection from any of the parts of your body. You will find things that could not work before, things that could not attack you successfully. Before will now. Have access to you. So all that is said was that I will just remove the wall. I will just remove the wall around you. I will just remove the wall around you. I will take away the hedge. It is, it is. I'll take it. You people will walk over you. Things that were working that normally would have walk and go walk by, walk around. They'll walk through you. They will now see you directly and walk through you. It's. True. So you see, this is a warning for you. You see, at this camp, don't think of yourself in a group, think of yourself as an individual and ask yourself what is the purpose for which God raised me up? And when that purpose is not fulfilled, you should. Expect God to lift up the wall and say feel free now. And the devil, that's why I said that He also has his purpose. He will walk through where was not walkable through before. If I bring only one medical book here, a medical book with pictures and I open it today, I was I think today or yesterday I was looking through a book I think it was called was symptoms. Some a book. I have not seen it before but it was a book that has symptoms and signs in surgical disease when you just and with pictures. When you start scrolling to answer what is this, and they say this is carcinoma of the scrotum, then you see you say what is this scrotum? You know scrotum. Scrotum is the bag which contains the balls, the sack. Carcinoma of fear. Carcinoma of the vulva, Casta of fear. Cancer everywhere. When you see it like this, you just mother ask yourself, So what makes something like this come to somebody's fat fish? It's very scary. That's why, that's why. I know people who stop somebody taking my volume. Are you you tamper with my volume. I know people who stop working at certain hospitals because of the diseases that they were seeing there. They couldn't take it. Yeah, You see it affects you. You say I can't stand it, a young person just like you. And I say I look at the sickness that has befallen the person at a point it affects you. So what I'm saying is that papers is very scary, very important. Why is Steve stand? Steve, stand up. Why are you God save you? Look at all the bad boys in London. Some are still on the way to hell, have never had a good thought in their heads about changing their ways. You have changed your ways so long ago. God has touched you and has been able to soften your heart. When you see somebody who is not repenting, you look at the person who asks themselves, well, why? You can't even understand why you change. And he doesn't change. His mind is also working, but he doesn't change. So when God has been able to touch you, why? Why? I'm asking why? Why? And you see, many of you have forgotten why, And because you've forgotten why, that's why you become Orangus, and that is why you retire before you are supposed to retire. And that is why instead of persisting in the purpose. For which God raised you, you start to deviate into all sorts of other things. It's true. You see, we have now reached the age where we are seeing those who are really called. Because it is now that the Land Ministry is taxing. Us properly Oh yeah it is now that when you are a pastor and you have to go to work and you have to do this as you get older you feel it more you don't have so much energy and you realize also another thing that you realize also is that. You you are not prospering as much as you thought you would prosper by. Not being in full time ministry, you see, many of you didn't come into full time ministry because of money, but. As the years. Have gone by that money too, has Zimbabwe say money makes wings, it flies away. You are not really rich. However, you are not rich. Do you understand? And that was the reason why you did not want to be a missionary or give yourself to die for Jesus. As others have done, like David Jeju in Jamaica and so many other people who've gone Peter to Australia and people who have gone onto the mission field equally from different places as you may have been, you have not wanted to do that. So as the years have gone by, you see that that aim that you have, you have not reached there and you are not reaching there and you can see that you will not reach there. And at the same time you are doing the work of the mission which. You didn't want to do all out. So it's now that The thing is also going to tax you. Really, we see who is really a LED minister who is really doing this thing out of each other. I thank God for the privilege to work for him. It's not that we are seeing the differences. That's where all these superannuation and all these things are coming. In. Because you see that you are going on time alone test what you you said you were called, you did tap exam, pop and whatever, not knowing that maybe just something prestigious. But as time goes back, we really see that you are not really called, but it was something prestigious. You wanted to add to your title that you are a pastor or a reverend. And then as time goes by, you see the differences. Yeah, but we didn't make you a pastor to make you prestigious. We made you a pastor so that you continue to help to build the churches God has taught us to build. And if now you want to carry on with your prestigious whatever, you are going to come into conflict with the vision of the church. Yeah, and neither did we make you a pastor to give you an alternative job because you had your job and we offered you to work for God but you didn't. I cried to you in 1000. Different messages Pharaoh, this this, this, this, this different. Rather your thoughts were sent back to me and evil thoughts in your mind. When I print those messages, you do not accept it. Now you want to take over and rather, because you see that your so-called prostate has no work, you want to come and take the chest and make it your job. You think it will just. It will. Just leave it. It will not be like that. I will take you on that. I will show you something. Yeah. I will take you to the end. I will show you another side when they be seen. The Lord is my shepherd. He's a man who can kill a lion. He's a man who can kill a bear. He'll show you that a shepherd, a true shepherd can kill a lion and can kill a bear, is also a killer. Is it not because of money that you didn't come into full time ministry? It is because of money. There's no other reason on earth it may not sound nice to you. But let's stop playing games and massaging the truth. It's. Because as time goes by itself, that's money. Where is it? It's not there. It is not there. You didn't get it. If you've got it, we'll see it in your offerings and we'll see it even in your partnership with Healing Jesus Crusade and we'll see it even with your age. That is the reason why I do so as we are going now, we are seeing and the reason why we made you a pastor now that reason is because that reason was a privilege. That's how somebody write to me and tell me the amount he's been driving to, to go to church, the distance, his car mileage and fuel and tires. Because as time is going by, you yourself have seen that it is not as you thought. Now you want to change it into your job because you have seen how to preach. You see how to do a church. So go and do your church, but leave our church because when we made you a pastor, the reason the purpose of the vineyard was not to establish make you your ministry. We're trying to help our the church to work. So watch out because it is now that the testing is coming. We see you say you are a pastor. You say you are called. Originally it was like. You have a look at you, a banker, a nest. A Carpenter. We have made you a pastor. Why? Is Willie, where is are you not a Carpenter? A Carpenter have made you a pastor? Is anybody here a plumber? Are you? Are you with those words? This a plumber. I've made you a plumber. A pastor. I've made a Carpenter. A pastor. Is there anybody here who is a nurse? I've made you a pastor. A nurse. I've made a nurse A pastor. Anybody here is a doctor. I've made you a pastor. You have you have a pastor. Opportunity. You are just being the church committee committee of this committee of this. I've given you a privilege. That was the reason I was giving you the privilege. Now you are changing to something else that you want to have a business or another side income apart from the job that you originally took in nursing. Class the Church. As your sources of income, you'll be declaring tax source of income from church, source of income from nursing, source of income from carpentry streams of income. Was was it my aim to to to create another stream of income for you? I'm asking you a question. Was I trying to create another source of income for Willie when I wanted to give you another source of income? That is when I gave you a job to make what you call it pews in the church. That's. How I will give? You another source of income my. Aim of giving you a church is not. To give you a source of income. Look at the respect I've given you. A Carpenter, a plumber, he's not a very high profession. You don't need so much education to be a a a plumber. Be honest with yourself. You need a lot of education to be a Carpenter. You don't have to pass a level. You have to. You don't have to do all those things. You just become a Carpenter. I'm also trying to give you another, so I'm trying to help you to have a privilege assisting a Carpenter. You have been given a chance to preach. Oh, Doctor, you are so busy in America. Doctor Norton. Alice, you left me in Ghana. Cujo Alice, you left me in Ghana. I was there. I'm there. I'm still in Ghana. But even as you, I've given you a fortune to have something. Otherwise you would have been just a member of a white church player. A guitar. Even. You wouldn't. Do anything in that church. I've given you that privilege. I was not trying to give you another source of income apart from your current income. The capital's employments are still standing, so you should also stand. Yeah, I'm also trying to give you a source of income. Now you are trying to change it. The purpose is changing. And the question that we are asking is that, Lord, this original Vineya pit, the original reason why I made it, it was supposed to give me grape to make wine. It's now changing into something else. What shall I do? I was just trying to give you Gili, a privilege. A privilege because there is no church. Many of you tell the truth. There is no church which will either accept you even. Today, the one. Accept you as a pastor, just even as Memphis, you will be an odd one out. In a white church, you will be the only black. Any time they are filming, they will film you because you are the only black person in the church. It's true, a camera always be. On you, because you are the only black person in the church. They will sing songs you cannot sing, do things you cannot flow. Is this true? They are giving you a chance. You are changing it into something else. What more shall be done to the vineyard? Broke away with the church. They are saying grace in the church now. Lighthouse, you are taking our members. If somebody who is a capital equally a capital like this guy, we have given him jobs and other things. Even when I heard he was being given contracts, when did he become a contractor? That is how you say thank you for what we we have done for you. Everybody you say that I don't respect you. Look at you have I distinguish you and say you are educated? You are all of you. We are all we all sit together as equal, whereas in real society we will not sit on the same chair. I'm telling you there's if there's no work. That you'll be employed, That the plumbers and the carpenters are sitting with the doctors. Even the nurses will not sit with the doctors. You don't know. That you don't know. I'm informing you. Find out very certain you will be wearing uniform. I will not wear uniform. If you like, let us all. Join the army. I will be an officer and you will be you. Start as a private. I've not distinguished. I said B and you are now changing it. Then you are changing something. And I'm looking at my I did not plant this vineyard to get leaves. I plant this vineyard to get grapes and now I'm getting a different thing from it. So be careful and I'm I'm talking about warning about the purpose of something. You should be careful. You know what? To me the greatest privilege is to work for God. That is, to me the. So if somebody like Gili. Wants to work for God to me. It's the highest thing that anybody could do. And I'm saying that yes, even though, even though you are a. Doctor in America, that can be something possibly. I'm always trying to make a way. I've been trying to make a way for people to work for God for a long time. I'm always trying. It was one of the painful experiences that I had when he went to when he went to England. I told Pastor Richard. I said, you know, this guy is a very good pastor. Let's give him the biggest church that there is. Pastor Richard, do you remember what I'm saying? Is it true or not? Bishop is true. I said let's give him the biggest church, let's give him the biggest and let's be. And then after I said bring him here, let him come and do that. Even though he has deserted me, he has gone away advised him this, he did still give him opportunity. That's what I'm always trying to do, try to sort of make a way that in case the person. Really wants to. Work for you not knowing that that was not. What you really wanted to do So I'm just saying that look, you should watch out. Ask yourself why were you made a pastor? Why is this church being established? Is as is as a source of income for you? Did I plant the church? Did I start it as a source of income for myself? By the grace of God, I've been to school. I don't need to do a church to, to, to, to to get money. I'm very highly I went to university for seven years, not three or two, seven years and I was good at what I do. Even today I'm still a good doctor. I don't need, I don't need a church to do to do church to get money. Maybe you need it, but I don't have any, any other job in the world. But I don't need church to, to, to, to get, although all that I have is through the church. It's not through medicine. Whatever I am, what I have is through God and through the church. But in the natural, I don't need to do church to have a job. Through the grace of God. I already had a job. You don't like what I'm saying. I have to say what I'm saying. You may not hear it that way. I have to say it. Don't forget you would never have had anything to do in the church. Why don't you visit other churches and find out what people like you are doing in the churches? The people just like you, even when they hear you are a pastor, they are surprised. They are surprised. They say Dad is doing wonders and then you stand and say I will always have been a pastor. I always have that calling so now. Matthew chapter 3 verse 8 bring forth therefore fruits meet for. Repentance and think. Not to say within yourself, we have Abraham to our father. I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid to the root. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Amen. So that is the purpose of the vineyard. What is the purpose of the churches that we have? How do we have a church in Kenya to make Obi? What is his name? Oblitek coming a famous person or to give him another job apart from the the one he had in England. This is the aim. Do you understand that is not the aim, has never been, will never be. So if it's not changes and it becomes his personal prosperity mission, we've got a problem. So pastors, lay pastors, I want you to know the aim in making you a pastor was to give you the greatest opportunity that even though you could not. Give up everything. This was still a way. That you could serve God. This was the opportunity. This was the way that you could serve God and that you had the opportunity to serve God because it will count in eternity. Definitely it will count #2 the purpose of a fig tree looked at in verse 6. And you take also this parable. A certain man. Had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. And then he said to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this victory, and I find none. Cut it down. Why Cambereth ate the ground. Amen. Notice Isaiah chapter 5, the six I will. Lay it waste. It will not be pruned or hold but. Briars. And thorns will come up, and I will also charge the clouds to rain. No rain on it. Notice one of the things that God does is that there should be no more rain on your life. Why have you been made a Bishop? This is a question. Why have you been made a Bishop? And he said it should no more be pruned and no more behold, when nobody is pruning you, nobody is rebuking you, nobody is advising you. That is your when their father has decided not to say anything about you and you, you know that this person he can talk by is no more talking. That is when your W day has said you will no more be pruned or hold. No host will be used to break you. It's true. Should not be said again. Amen, and I'm sure you can understand why the message is a warning. It is a warning. There is nothing casual about this message. It's the warning of the purpose over which you exist. What again should I do to this vineyard? What again should I do with this vineyard? Why is this vineyard? Why did I plan this vineyard? You also have to ask yourself the question. I will not prune it again. I will not hold it again. I will break the wall. People should walk over it. Why do our churches exist? Some churches exist to support other churches. If you don't know, I'm informing you today. Some churches exist so that they will support other churches in the Bible that they that have too much should not have access and those that do not gather anything should have something. If you don't know her, let me tell you as clear as crystal, it is a whole family of it's not a single church. It is existing so that the church that is in Timbuktu can help the church that is in Alaska. If you don't know, be be known today. If you don't know, be what known. And if that church which is supposed to help? The weaker 1 does not help the weaker. What should be done to that church? You see, what people don't realise is that sometimes, listen, they are so wild. Maybe you exist to finance something. You will not do it to people. You will not do it. God will send a family to sit on it. When a family sits on it means it's dead or a sport. If God gave you money so that you support you, don't support, no. No. No, no. Is he? What? What you, what you realize is he? If you look carefully at me, you will see how many times do you see me going to America to go to raise money? How many times do you see me go to Switzerland, England, to go and raise money? If I considered it so important, I will always be there. You see me everywhere, establishing myself in Philadelphia, in New York, in Massachusetts, in Virginia, here. Everybody will see my I am the leader and I need money. But what I know is that the purpose of God cannot be changed by somebody's some way behavior. Anybody who does not support them, it will not spoil the work of God. The Lord has purpose. He stretched his hand. Who is Turn his hand back? Who can disanal it? Huh. There's nobody who can do that. So that's why it. Doesn't bother me. If I don't have I stop. I have many churches. We have stopped building because we don't have the money. When we get money, we continue. The last time that we saw any construction was a year ago. No problem. Whenever there's money, we pick up and resume. I'm not God. I didn't cause all the sins in the world. I'm just trying to do my part and then I go, If I can do a crusade, I can. If I can't, I don't. I always tell the people crusade. Look, we, we have to be careful. We have to be wise. You know me, always get support money. People who are supposed to give, they don't give. So be careful. Use it carefully, wisely. 1 by 1 you count everything. If you have been raised up to do something you don't do, you gotta say. Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah. You know, one of my greatest shocks, Let me stand on this chair. You know, when you see Reinhard Bonke, his crusade so massive. I look at his crusade and I say at this age, I don't know what is the reason. But he doesn't come. He's not able to come. You don't know what is happening. And you ask yourself that at this age, a person. Is able so many people trust. Him and give him millions of dollars every month or everyone ever to do his crusades. At this stage rather. You may see God will be withdrawing somebody from there. He'll say come off. It makes you even not understand what God is. You have thought, oh, since this person is harvesting, he must be there because it's wrecking. But no. How much more? Somebody like you who are supposed to give $100 and you don't give $100 than than a combined harvester who raises millions of dollars. Have you ever thought of it? There's not much you can do, and God doesn't seem to value any particular person. That's what I feel. Those of you who feel you are valuable, you need to have an accident on the Tamali Rd. like I did. That is where I lost the value of my person and was reduced to just in my mind, the most ordinary person who can die at any time. You need one accident. You need to sum assault. You need to see yourself turning over like this with the head of the car about to break your neck and bend your head like this. You need to be in the car. With five people turning around like that, all of us pastors, we are turning like, what is it that you cook like this? You turn it, mix in it. No, like what do you call it, a blender? You see the things going around so that before it crashed, you can see it turning. You need to be turning around once and you realise that Pastor Kakra, when he came out of the car, he said, look, I would have been very surprised if I had died today. I was not expecting to die at all. He would have been shocked to find himself working in heaven. Eight people. Greater people than you have. Withdrawn from the fields. Prematurely what? How many members do you have? How much money do you give? What do you do? That you think God cannot do without you? He can do without you if you don't know He has done without you. Are you there? Why would God tell? I went to Monkey's office in Orlando when I entered the office, A large office, about like the size of this whole place. When you enter the office, you see a picture of the crusade from about here to there. Big, huge size in color. When I entered, there was a lady that was waiting for us. She said this office exists to raise money. The only thing we do here is to raise money for crusades. That is the only work we do here. The whole office is for money. Without money we cannot. There's nothing to do here. The work is on the field. When I entered the cashier's office, there was a computer and an elderly lady, two of them. She was feeling that it was Monday or so and all the checks that have come in from his supporters and their partners. They were feeling, writing, paying in all that was all that they do, and she said. All the supporters. Of Bonke are 10 years older than him or 10 years younger than him because 70 years old, so 10 years younger and 10 years older, around his age are the people that have been supporting him. So between 60 years and 80 years they supported and they believed in him for years. But yet God says I don't seem to need you there. I was in Ijiro shake your neighborhood is really sleeping. Subway is Amen, Amen. Listen, I was in Ijiro, but I went to where Bonky was having a crusade and I had a very emotional experience as I saw his crusade set up there, but no Bonky. I felt something. I said everything is there, but he is not there. I saw the dust, I saw the set up. What you. See on the Internet in his books and everything there, but no Bonky I felt something. So, God, what is this? Why doesn't God keep Jesus Christ on earth till he's 80 years old? Why doesn't God keep people around if great people like that have no need? Even to be here. How much do you support and do you contribute that is necessary to keep you? Around. I don't even know what to say again. All right. A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit there on and found none. Then he said to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this tree and I finally cut it down. Why Canberras hit the ground, huh? Maybe you were earning 302 hundred CDs a month. That's 2 million. Then I see you and I say, ah, I'm going to help you. I press a few buttons. Two years later you are earning 10,000 to $15,000 a month. Are you listening to me? Then I come to you and I say give me $500 to do crusade so I don't have money. Think about it and see. Think about it, you are earning how much? 200 CDs? Then not even let's forget about me. God, God, God organises. I want somebody who lives in Ghana, who lives in Ghana, Where are you? Then I press. God presses. Not me. Forget about me, God presses. Now you earn $10,000. Is it a lot of money? Is it a lot of money, foreigners, Is it a lot of money? Then God comes to a sense, you say? Give me 500. Together, you say I don't have. Due to, you know, the life you see over here, over here, over here, over here, you see, 13 days ago, next year, over this time, this, this, this. I've heard it again and again and again and again and again and again and again. All those who earn $10,000 at that. But we are all here. You and your family, you are here. Over $10,000 says give me that. Most do not give you see the people what people in our car giving you really wonder why I don't travel every day Say do this or do that. This is exactly what was that I have invested. I've built to a vineyard and now I come and ask my vineyard I need a. Grape and Vineyard says you don't think so. You don't just come and ask, just come and ask. Come and ask one of the things. I'll be silent. About when I'm dead is France. I'll never ask you for money again, apart from preaching. I won't ask you for money if you don't know. I'm telling you now, Gilly. You are in Ghana, you cannot even get a visa. Now God says, you know, I'm going to select. You and make you one of the few Ghanaians who's going to go to America. He's able to transplant you supernaturally, supernaturally, and he's able to put you there. Then he bless you and give you money every month so much. Then he comes to ask you. One day I said, when the gods come and God has come me, when I come and ask you, God is asking you. God has sent me to ask. You give me something, give me something, I beg you, give me something to go and do my crusade. I want to go and preach. For now, take 50. Take 50 for now and I can't even be part of what you are doing. It's always when you read this story you think what does it happen? There are several pastors here on to whom this story applies exactly. I'm giving the example. I'm not mentioning your name, but you are here. If you want, I can also mention your name for good measure. God will give you money. God will give you opportunity you will never do. That is why I don't humor rich people or people who have things. I have to call Gili so that Gili will like me. Hello, Gili. Gili. How are you? How is it? Are you blessed? OK, Gili, you like my message. I want to say something so that you like. Me no. It it it must happen. How else can the Scripture be fulfilled that a man plant a vineyard and he does not eat of it? It must be fulfilled through you. Through you this Scripture must be fulfilled. A vineyard which does not bear. And what would the Lord say? Why encumbrance in the ground? Why encumbrance in the ground in my Healing Jesus Donor Management office. One of the things that disturbs us is people who say they are giving but are not giving. So I. Constantly am telling the manager help this out. When I come to up here I put the names of people. When was the last time this person donated? Last year? Two years ago the person removed it all. They are not. I remove it so clear them of the place. They are not is there talk, talk, talk. There's nothing because in there you say we have so many partners we have, so there's nothing. It encumbers the ground and rather confuses us. We look at we look at the team. There are 45 vehicles they drove from Ijiro to offer in the north. Getting to the Islamic town, the people that they are hired to look. After they say the Thugs association. Thugs. Thugs Association. Yes, there is to guard them. 45 vehicles travelling through Nigeria. They were clapping for them in every time. They have never seen such a convoy before. The people are fast and I'm dependent on money to send to them to sustain them and to keep to price you and say you have said you are given that you don't give. How can I defend Why a cabaret in the ground? It just didn't cause confusion in all our planet. How can we plaster? People are deep in the forest somewhere? Oh, even our donor management officers. We are cleaning off memes. How much more in the eternal offices of Jehovah, where he starts to send his Angel remove. Why? Delete. Who? Is important here. Vanita used to sit here. She used to sit here. God saw it fit to take her out of this of the game, out of the war, out of the battle. Come out. Who of us here can God not say eh out for whatever mysterious reason there is? But mysterious reasons are being read out here now. Why God may say out, hey, is it time #3 the. Purpose of a wife First Corinthians Chapter 7 There is a difference also. Between a wife and a virgin, the unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be wholly both in body and in spirit, but she that is marriage, careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. Amen. There is a purpose of a wife. Why are you a wife that she may please her husband? Amen. If you know you don't want to please any man, don't marry because that man is going to require certain things out of you. There are many women that are less than 10% of what is needed. If you take the model marriage and you see the duties of a wife, you will see about how many points are there duties of a wife. It's about 7, Steve. You should tell me better 7 or it's not 7. It's more than 7, about 10 I think. Total wife additional duties. So it's how many all these you marry no food. Why did you marry? Only that he cannot say it in public, so he suffers privately. There's nothing. It's true. There's nothing out of you. You are the most. Beatly person that a person. Could have made the mistake to marry it's you once I've been mentioning your name just be looking straight like this. Just look straight. Nobody will know that it is you that I'm talking about. No food, no sex, no hospitality, no smile, no kindness, no bathing, no love. Not only that, it is in secret, he cannot say it and you have married a good man. He will never say it or you are asking how it's it's a very good thing. It's normal. It's working. Spiritual answers by a phlegmatic man that you have got It is true or it is not true. Thank God for your Christian husband who has never rebelled should in case you are to get one who doesn't take nonsense or you realize you are on the street. It's true you should always pray that you wouldn't get somebody to certain things. It wouldn't take it for 2 minutes. You say what what? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no out. If you are a young man and you are not getting sex, you should ask yourself to what purpose is this marriage? To what purpose is this marriage? What is the purpose of me being married? What is the use of the marriage? It's a might have no use. Why and tumbles is the best. Oh. Am I saying something wrong? Why encamperes eat the kitchen when there is no food from the kitchen? Why encamperes eat the house when there is no. Smile in the house. Smiles are for visitors and for Joe Imprez when outsiders. You may laugh, you may shout, but it is true, it is real. So you have to ask yourself, what is the purpose of this? Yes, and the purposes should be fulfilled. Chapter 4 The. Purpose of salt. Salt is good. Luke 14, the Steady 4. But if the. Salt has lost its savour. Wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the downhill. But men cast it out. He that has ears. Let him hear Amen again. You see the constant concept of discarding, changing, getting. Rid of removing. If a pastor is supposed to preach and he does not come to church even, what use is the person being a pastor? If the pastor represents Lighthouse Chapel International Day and the person refuses to come to Shuffling conference or any important gathering, of what use is such a person to depart to the church, to this church? What is the use of this person to this church? He is of no use to us. Why? Encampment hit the ground in that place. He must be removed. Don't tell us that we shouldn't do superannuation. We are superannuation. He is the most honorable, easiest, nice way out. Of. People who are encumbering the ground, you are supposed to be short representing whatever we are doing somewhere. You have never, don't listen to any camp. You will never listen to any message. I have written a book you don't even know, but you know Krefner Dollars book, you know Phoebe James book, you know stories about this and that. You don't have anything that we are doing in the church. Why do you represent us? You don't represent us. You are no more a real lighthouse pastor. You are no. More the sort that you are supposed to be and since you have lost that lighthouse flavor, then you ought not to be represent us. But you see black people don't like judgment. That is why on the way here, the only organized place you met was when you reached this hotel. That on the way you see the confusion that is in Ghana from a crowd to here is confusion. Is it no confusion? Table, table table. OK, everybody can put his table if you get up and you say remove. All the tables remove all the serves. Ah, why? This guy is very wicked man. And this is like this. This is the other. I will vote for NTP that is. Straight. Yeah, we have been selling here for years. Black people don't like. What we often need are more dictatorial leaders who just informed this is what is being done. It's true. Which part of England can you put your table and sell milk? Milk and sugar? Tell me, where in England can you put a table outside your room and say that you are selling sardines? You must be out of your rocker. You must be out of your mind. Why can you sell sardines in England or Italy? Or why would you sell sardines? You are joking. You are selling sardines in front of your house and tinata and Curry that you have tied. You have retired, so you are selling oranges and bananas in front of your house. What do you mean? But we don't like, we don't like those things in Ghana. No, no, no, no, no, no. The whole street is full, three lanes of asphalt. They are selling shoes here. And here is where the bus is passing. Here is the shoe. They are set all hairs full of canvas shoes. How broadly? Well, which means a white man who is dead. Clothes have been sold all over on the street that has been made for the cars. We don't like such things. If you come up with this must be this must be this must be. People react to it. People don't like it when we start to say salt is for this. If there is no stick in the salt, we cannot use it for our Stew again. So we must throw it away. Must say. Why should you say this? Why? Why are you doing it? Why do you say no? Is it? Why do you think that I'll? Look at you. That's why Africa is the way. There is no similarity between Africa's picture and let's say the picture of Europe. We are more than 800 years behind. Take it from me, I travel more than anybody here, including those of you who live abroad. Those of you who live abroad, you don't travel. You are there. You don't travel anywhere. You don't know anywhere. I'm telling you. If it was not for homecoming, you may not come to Ghana. If shuffling conference cannot transfer people, what is the use of shuffling? It might as well vamoose from there. If the bishops here cannot be won and make changes, look at the strong changes that I've made in the ministry. You come here, this person, go here, come here, change this, this person, this change. If you cannot, you are just as bishops useless. You are just encumbering that red shirt and tie. It's useless. There's no of no value. Yeah. The order and the discipline in the system comes from the strength of the leader able to. So if the leader has lacks that strength to take some of the steps he needs to take, what is going to happen? So see everything has. Its purpose. So you are ambitious, you say you are ambitious. You are wearing a red shirt. You know, we are expecting some strength from you. We are expecting some controls from you. You say you are a General Overseer. Where are your miracles? We expect some miracles at your conventions. Do you know the title? General Overseer is a very big title. That is the title that Reverend Gupta Mensa Otado uses. He uses that title GO General of Asia and Reverend Adeboye of over thousands and thousands of churches, they call him GO and you are also using that title. Where are your miracles? You are passing a church in Switzerland and the church rather is taking more money from the system than rather supporting the system. And what is the use of your church? When there are places where they take offering two offering, they'll get 1000 cities. That is one city, one city, one. Like this? What is the use of the salt? What is the use? Of you, if you cannot take a decision, there are no there are no leader. You should not wear that title. You should not be there. You say you are a pastor, you cannot preach. Well, why? You don't represent us If the sort has lost its flavor, let's let me tell you. The name of this church is Lighthouse Chapel International. It's not your church or a church or some church. Some It's a particular ministry. The callus are yellow and black. Our offering basket are purple. That's the name. There's a style of singing, of clapping, of worship, of preaching, of whatever is a flavor. You don't like it. God has given you another calling. This is the way Open. Out and go to the other place that you want to be. We are not angry with you, but if you are here you have to have a certain flavour, otherwise you don't really represent what we are doing and we struggle with you all the time. We don't know what you are saying. In our church, we fill forms in our church, we write exams in our church. That's how it is. It is not the best church. If you don't like it, there are 1000 other churches. You can get to those churches. But in our church, that's how the taste is. That's what it tastes like. And God made every church a little different so that every different person can flow in what is good for him. That's why we have assemblies, we have pentacles, we have. All the churches we have different, different, different types. That's just when you go, you feel this is strong flavor, Africa this strong, Caribbean strong, England strong, different things. God has allowed it. Go out into the field and see No2. Raindrops are the same. God has given us something here. If you are now a lighthouse pastor, when you get up to preach your message, today I'm preaching about Ezekiel's beast, the beast, four faces of the beast of Ezekiel. We don't have such thing. Not that it's not a good message, but what is that the beast faces of the four beasts of Ezekiel in the wheel, The wheel that Ezekiel's wheel, the beast in it, it has four faces. We don't understand what you are saying. You have lost a flavor. Are you understanding what I'm saying? It is not that you know we are not allowed to pray to the Holy Spirit. Don't be silly. I don't want to move into insults. Who pray preaches to you that you pray for the Holy Spirit? So we are not allowed to ask the Holy Spirit. You are looking for a reason to do what you want. To do you say we are not allowed to ask the Holy Spirit, Foolish, who are speaking about anointing, praying for the Holy Spirit and the anointing. You say we are not allowed to ask the Holy Spirit what we should preach. That is why our camp is called warnings. Warnings of purpose. Warning, warning. The salt one the salt one the salt that if you are not salty, if you are not salty, we will not keep you one the salt. Did you hear me? One the salt, if you are not doing what is really salt does I cannot eat. When I go to Devon, they serve Curry, they say India with rice. You cannot eat it if you don't. If you can eat food without salt, the rice has no salt and the Stew the Curry has no salt. You can ask all those who have been together rice without salt, Curry without salt. So when I ate it once, I've got. As for me, I like that I ate once, I ate twice, Curry, Curry, Curry, Curry Curry after sometime rather that these. People, they don't know how to cook with salt or they don't know how to cook one of the two. So I said no. So now when I go, I don't order Curry. When they say Curry, say, oh, it looks nice, but it will not be nice. There's no salt. Saltless rice, saltless Curry, Where's the salt? The whole thing is. Different. This is what you must rely. Our church is not the best. It's not the only. It's a struggling church. We are trying to do something. This is the way God has also. Made it for us. And there are many people who like it. It is for those who like it. If you don't like it, Nah, yeah. Over here, out of there even. You can pass through windows and you can go. We will not struggle with you at all. And when you are going, don't you relate on us? If you relate on us, it will not be easy for you when you go out. Hey, tomorrow I will show you what we will do to you. People have purpose to urinate on us. We have also purpose to deal with them. You urinated on me before you went. I will meet you somewhere. Are you still around? That is why the camp is called warnings of purpose about the purpose of the thing. Yeah, when I came into the wild, I'm coming to form my check with yellow and black, this and this. No, it just happened as we went. And so we are going to make a signboard. What color? Try yellow and try, try. What about yellow? What about when it came? How does it realize that that is the color that we have When daughter you can make it was going to do daughter you can make it. Then they said you make it your own cloth, yellow and black. It's also clear, but it's not like God said we should do. It's not like a, a, a, a a dream of God has shown it just happened. That is how things are here. So you don't think with green and black, green and blue, something else. That's how we are flowing here, and it's not even something so important that it is a flavor. And and and and without the flavour. Let me tell you, McDonald's is not the best hamburger. In fact, it's one of the West. But they have known only one secret. McDonald's secret is that the hamburger is always the same taste when you enter McDonald's, it is the same colour inside. It's the same decor always. That is the only secret that they have. Those of you who have eaten McDonald's before Mcdonaldo, when I went to Panama, a town called Cologne, where black people were streaming in the water. The water in the streets was like this, and they were streaming in the road in Great hunger. One night after preaching, we were driving. I saw to my excitement, Mcdonaldo the. Same color, yellow and red with the same side. Everything I said go and buy for that one I am sure because as I keep traveling I have places where I don't get food to eat. When I go, I see that I cannot eat. I cannot eat, I cannot eat. But there I saw something which is not the best, that is the same, is the same. At least I'm sure, I'm sure how it will be like. Do you know that in the University of Ghana when they are doing NBA, they use Lighthouse Chapel as an example? The lectures use it as an example of have you seen and who would somebody have been to MBA here? They use it as an example of an organization that have used the. Colors and the corporate symbols and so on very successfully. And they give. Lighthouse in MBA Ghana university or school of administration. MBA. They use us as an example that somehow, and it's not something I learnt anywhere just after. That's how it started, and then it was just. Working, but it's not like God told me or I knew it or I learnt it in economics. It is a salty flavor that God gave to us. And you see that some people come and then they want to start saying. In this church, in this church, you cannot do this. You cannot do this. Ask your neighbor, ask your neighbor, ask your neighbor. Is it you? Is it because of you? The man is talking like this. Chubwe zaminamina zaminamina zaminamina zaminamina zaminamina zaminamina. Hi warnings, you are short and all of us are being warned. I am warned. Bishops are warned. Singers are warned. Financiers are warned. Wives are warned. All I want. Small purpose that you can. You won't do that one. You are doing something else and to what purpose is is your existence. It is wonderful. Saddam number. 5. The purpose of. Light, you are the light of the world. Matthew 514 A city that is set on a hill cannot be hit, neither do men. Light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a Candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father, which is in heaven. Luke 11, verse 33. No man, when he has lighted a candle, put it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a Candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. Amen. What is the purpose of the light that God has given us? In this church, God has given us a lot of. Light. And revelation. There's a lot of light. There's a lot of revelation about working for God. What is the use of this light? What is the use of this light that has been poured out for us? How many people hear the things we. Hear you think people are hearing these things in their camps, how I'm blasting you like this. You think they get it like you think they get it like this, I'll get it like this. As I've seen, I mean foreigners and people who have come and be saying nicely so that you all come and bless me with nice offerings. You like me more. You don't get it what I'm giving. You don't get it like that. It is a blessing. It's a blessing giving you the real things. You think people are getting it like that? It comes on start. They start blowing you in your chest like that. Tell me why you're just in that first point. You know the thing I turned into a fire. Oh, oh, Bishop. I've come, I've written it on my chest, and I'm also coming with an. What is the use of all this? Light that is shining in your life like that, all the revelation. Look at the books you have, how to start a church. Look. When I went to Kenya, when I finished on Sunday, they said there were some pastors, Kenyans who wanted to meet me. Here comes a pastor. All that he has ever had, he said. Mega church he had, He didn't have a church. He had only that book. He said. I sat in my room and I read it and myself and my he sat with his wife and told me I started the church. Everything you say when we go for parameter, the topics in the book, when you start the church, pray this, pray this, he said. That is all that we have done today. We have 800 Kenyans sitting there in the morning in church. Yeah. What is the use of the light and the revelation? That you have for examinations. Now the exams are about to change. Now you are going to see when you pass, there is that I personally will shake your hand. You say you are doing. That pray that you have passed. Before the next one comes. Pray that you pass what I stop for pop by next. Month because. I myself am setting the questions now you have got a life you are not starting. Any chance you are just using it to pass exams? How all the revelation? That you have about shepherding, you will not use it to shepherd people. Act of shepherding has been written step by step every page. It can be a quiet time for seven days for you and yet you don't even have a copy. What is the use of the candle? I went for a crusade somewhere and the light went off when I was in my room where I was in the house that I was staying. And I remembered that one time I was flying and I saw them selling a special torch, small one but very powerful. And I bought 1 and I put it in my bag. So when the light went out and I was in pair, I couldn't even see my hand. I said. But I have a light, a special light that I. Bought. I don't know why I bought it, but I said I may need it somewhere where I traveled. Why don't I find that light? What purpose is that light when it is tucked away down there and you cannot even access? It does not shine to help so many people. What it is are all the books and the CDs and the revelations we have had and they are not helping us to make our churches grow. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying. So I went and I got my special touch and I, I, I tied it to my wrist because at that place where I was the light before I realized there's no light. You are there. There's light. You never expect power, always. May God help you to to take out the light. That He has poured out for you. Use it for the glory of God. Amen. Stand to your feet. Lift your hands to the Lord. Ha. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus we give you thanks. Lord, we give you praise. Oh, Hallelujah. Thank you, Father, for your blessing in our lives. Oh, God. Oh, God, thank you, Jesus. Amen. May be seated. I want to take an offering. Have you taken an offering already? I want to take an offering. I'm. I'm going to take an offering for healing. Jesus Crusade. Because we need a lot of money. I don't know what the shuffling people are doing, but you should have taken the offering when you had a chance. But I'm going to take an offering to help my crusade. Not my crusade. The crusade. Our crusade. Amen. Take out money. Take out money to whom much has been given. Give much vineyards. Begin to produce your wine before decisions are taken. How many are ready to support evangelism? Only four. Take out a good offering, please. Please let your offering be good. Father, we thank you for this great blessing in Jesus name, Amen.
