02. What Does It Mean To Be Asleep

Welcome to track #2 of. Awake O sleeper all. Right, be blessed this morning. All right, lift your hands and thank God for ability to be here early enough. Father, thank you for the blessing. Thank you for the blessing. We are so grateful. We are so blessed, we're so thankful, we're so thankful. In the name of Jesus, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Amen. You may be seated. What does it mean to be asleep? Amen, Number one, that there are a lot of points. You must have always a lot of points, and then your life will be very pointed. Amen. Now when you cannot, when you are asleep, Amen, your eyes are closed. Is it not true? And when your eyes are closed you cannot see, and when you cannot see you have no vision. So a person who is asleep, a Christian who is asleep, is like this. No vision. You cannot sneak, you cannot see, cannot see. Here, here, you don't see anything. That is why a thief can come. So many things can happen, and it's because your vision is cut off. So as soon as you start to be awake spiritually, one of the first things that happens is that your vision comes back. You start to see and you start to have vision again. So the science you see, I'm talking about Christians who do not have a vision. So today you must ask yourself, what vision do I have? What is my vision working? And do I have a vision? Now? As a Christian you must have a vision for your life, a spiritual vision. Proverbs 29 verse 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish. But he that keepeth the law happy is he. Where there is no vision, the people perish. So when you are sleeping, no vision, you are not seeing anything, you are in great danger. That is why thieves come when our vision is off. OK, so you as you are here, you must have a vision for your life spiritually. Now, many years ago I went to Korea and I learned from Yongicho that your vision makes you. You do not make your vision. What does that mean? It means if you have a vision for something, it makes you live in a certain way. It makes you do certain things and it causes you to become something. I, I always, you know, I remember when I first went to Korea and our young doctor Cho said your vision makes you, you don't make your vision. I mean, I, I, I thought, you know, this man is not saying the correct thing because all of us who are here, we are here because we want to have mega churches and we don't have mega churches and we want to have mega churches. So all of us here, we, we have wanted to have mega churches for a long time, but we don't have, we have had a vision for a mega church for a long time, but we are not seeing any mega church. So how can it be, you say me that my vision makes me because I've had this vision for a long time. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Like you have, you see, I already have that vision. So how do you say my vision will make me into something? Because I've had it for a long time. I'm still nothing. So I didn't understand it. But what was happening was that, see, when you have a vision for something, it causes you to behave in a particular way. For instance, if a woman is on a hand, the Bible calls women hunters. She says she shall hunt for the precious life, a strange woman. So when a woman is on a hunt, she, because of her aim, she does things in a particular way. She dresses in a particular way. She smiles in a particular way. She speaks in a particular way. She talks as if she's pleasant, as if she's kind, as if she's sweet. But those who know her know that she's not so sweet and she's not so kind and she's not so nice. But when she's talking, she'll say yes, daddy, yes, please. OK, thank you. And they're smiling nice. But that is not ours. But because of the vision to impress and to get some prey, the whole behaviour changes. And if you maintain your vision long enough, your your your your behaviour keeps on a certain Rd. until you get your target. So what happened that day? When I was in Korea, I was criticizing that message in my head that it's not true, that if you have a mega, if you have a vision, it will make you do what you want. But not knowing that I was already on the road because of my vision. You see, it was because of my vision. I was in Korea in the first place. That vision has already put me on the road. Because your vision will make you do certain things for a long time. And if you keep doing it for a long time with that same vision, you keep making this manoeuvre, that manoeuvre, change this, do this, do that, and you keep going. And so in the end, after a number of years, because of that maintained vision, you'd have 10 left at certain junctions, right at certain junctions, left at certain junctions, right at certain junctions. And you keep going and you realize that it's actually because of your vision that you keep going on a certain Rd. because your vision makes you become what you are going to become. It's not that you make your vision. I accept my make make my vision. No, the vision makes you your vision. You have makes you become that thing over time. So in the 1st place I was in Korea because I heard of you. I've never heard of him preaching. Had him preaching before. But I wanted to, as this man has the largest church in the world, so there must be something. So now here I find myself in Korea, coming to listen. Yeah. And through that vision, I started to go to places. So it made me, it made me travel. It made me travel. I had to. I traveled to Korea because of my vision to teach. And you see, you can know when somebody has a vision from what the person says when he's young. A vision is important when you are young, not when you are old, because it takes a whole life to make a vision happen. So when you have a good vision at the end of your life, I have a vision for this, I have a vision for this, I have a vision for this. My friend, it's a bit late to be having all these visions and dreams. You better get up now. Awake now, Oh, Sleeper, and Christ will give you light and he'll give you light and you will see. And so you have to wake up now as a young man if you want to work for the Lord. You can't wait till you are in your 40s and 50s before you say now I'm have a vision for the Lord. When you are young like you are now, this is the time to have a vision because it's going to take years and years, many many years. You have to survive many things for you to have that vision to come to pass. When I look at my personal life today, God has used me to establish over 1000 churches. Think about that now. When I had, when I was, yeah, when I was in university, I, I know that I had a vision because of what I told my beloved. You know, I can remember certain conversations that I had. Some of you want to marry boys who have a lot of wraps. You look so sweet darling. First time I saw you, I will swim across the Mediterranean Sea to give you an ice cream. All these are nonsense. I was the raps that I had for my beloved. I told him that I I want to teach like Jesus. These were my raps. My falling in love raps. Yeah, I said, I told her I want to. I want to be able to teach like Jesus. She said, she said what? I said when Jesus thought even when you backslide, you remember all his teachings. And I and I told, I told her that you always remember his, his stories. I told her when I was when I was either a beloved or trying to become a beloved. These are my wraps. I'm giving you keys. Then I told her I want to sit on a mountain. Yeah. And then people will come to the mountain and I'll teach them just like Jesus. And I told her I want to tell stories like Jesus. Like. And I always remember the story, like prodigal son. This was my vision. You see today. I'm always telling stories. I have a lot of stories. Yeah. One day. And you see that if you have a vision for a long time, it makes you. That's what Youngicheng was trying to say, that your vision will make you become something if only you have it. So as you, if you are listen here and you are a Christian who is asleep, it means you don't have any vision, spiritual vision for your future. You just in the church. What does it mean to just be here? You can't just be here. You have to have it. And that vision must be deep. You see, that vision was very deep in my heart. I was attracted to storytelling, preaching from then. And Kenneth Hagin, if you put on his tape in the middle somewhere, he reads the Bible only at the beginning of the sermon. He preaches by announced mentioning 3 verses. He says our scriptures for today. Then he read 1-2 and that's the end of reading of Bibles. Then he'll start telling stories. My uncle, my mother, my bis, my dad. My dad, my bis, my dad, my dad. Yeah. And I could listen. So I know all his relatives. I know his family. I know everything. Yeah, because of the stories. I even know a story that he told when he was in hospital before, just before he died. Yeah, because I always watch his funeral. In the funeral, one of the guys told the story of what he do, a very funny story, and they laughed and laughed in the hospital. Hey, so the vision you have, you'll be surprised. So now you look at yourself and ask yourself, what vision do you have spiritually? I want to do this. I want to be this, I want to become this. I want to be like this if you have it, huh? It will keep guiding you. And when the time comes for you to take this decision, to take this move, to take turn left, to turn right, to take, nobody will be advising. You yourself will know when it's time to come to Ghana, to be trained. Nobody will be discussing with you. You say you know something. It's my dream. It's my dream, my vision. First of all, I didn't want to be international. I don't want to be that national. I want to be international. It's a vision I have. Yeah, I'm too national. I want to be international. I know you can know somebody's being from how you used to talk when you were young. Kenneth. He said when he was a little child, he used to say I pitcher, I pitcher. He couldn't pronounce preacher and he couldn't say I want to be, he said, I picture from a baby, a child. I picture, I picture. Yeah, the vision that he had. I picture, you see picture. I picture, I picture and and you see you will become at home and on, but on the way there will be many things that will make you not. When I started to preach, the thing I was criticized most for was preaching that. I don't know how to preach, that I do not preach well. I have too many scriptures, not enough scriptures. I don't stand in one place. I move around too many jokes, not enough jokes. So much. This was the greatest, but was the greatest thing for me is to preach and to teach. This is what it was like. Don't do this. And so the strongest, strongest attack was at the very beginning. You are not a good preacher. From my assistant. Yeah. So Bishopsaki became so precious to me. In fact, initially I thought he was lying. But when I finished preaching, he would say, I'm so blessed. I've never heard a message like this. Initially I thought, this guy is a liar. You know, he said this guy is a liar. He's just full of flattery. When I finished preaching, then he comes to flatter me. But after some time, I felt that what he was saying was genuine. And my beloved, too, was also impressed with my preaching. And in in those days, I was not as wary of ladies as I am now. In those days, I didn't think of even flattering. But these days, I think of all those. I've seen a lot of things. Yeah, Recently I saw a certain sister and she wanted to marry a certain brother. So when she met the brother, she realized that the brother was very interested in the ministry. She started to tell the mother how she wants to just work for the Lord and she wants to be in the ministry, but her friend knew her. So her friend came and told somebody who knew the brother that this girl, her aim is to be a lawyer or a doctor or something, and she has even applied. He has no interest in the ministry. But the brother was. So I have found the perfect doctor. Let's see. So as you sit here, you cannot be in the church and say my aim is to be in the choir. My aim is to is to just enjoy the church as a lady. What is your vision? What's your vision? What do you want to be? I Peter, what do you want to become? Yeah, You have to have a mind. What I want to become. I want to become this. I want to be like, not even. Sometimes you don't even know what to go about. I want to be like this and go to some children's room. And when my sisters were young, they had. That's how come I knew Michael Jackson, that when he died, I was very interested because I knew him from my little sisters. They were in love with Michael Jackson. They had all his posters. And this was the vision I Michael. Yeah. And one of my sisters was working once in a hotel where Michael Jackson came to stay. In fact, she was the one cleaning the room. That Michael Jackson was a dream. So somebody even gave her a note, wrote a note to give to to put on Michael Jackson's table, but he didn't come there. But they booked this hotel, but they don't go there. Yeah. So that you think he's here, but he's not. He's somewhere else. I'm Michael. I opera. I Bill Gates. It's your vision. That's why you are dead spiritually. That when you have them, you see, I this, I pitcher. I London, I America. I America, I America. And these are your visions. I never had a vision, eye doctor. I never had a vision. It was, it almost cost me because when I went from my interview to enter the medical school, they asked me what do you want to do? What do you want to, to, to, to be? And then I was surprised. It was a high picture. So I almost started by mistake. So I was confused for a moment. And I was lucky that they were taking the 1st 10 people automatically. It was in order of marriage. And I was the fifth person in the country, so I was automatically thinking about. I didn't even know that. So they said, what do you want to do? And I said, I want to heal people. I said I want to heal people. I healer. And the whole interview turned into discussion about church. What church do I go to? Yeah. Healing ministry. Yeah, I didn't say I want to be an ophthalmologist. I want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. I want to be a neurosurgeon. I special. I want to be a healer because I didn't know the words. Medical words didn't come. I want spiritual words as a heal. Heal. So you see your vision just as soon as you are awake. So there's some kind of vision in you. So these guys, some of these guys who've been to Ghana, you know, they have, they have the vision. They wouldn't have spent four years of your life or so many years of your life doing this, doing that. And they have vision. That's why people have gone to the mission field. The eyes are hoping for something. And I tell you, watch and see as the years go, but it doesn't happen in a day. As you keep on preaching and preaching, you see that your vision is making you become some, and then you will start to dissociate from setting friends. Yeah. Today many of my friends are pastors of big churches. Yeah. When I saw Mosasono on television many years ago, he's the first international friend that I had. I saw a young man. He, Pastor Ray Macaulay, had allowed him to preach at his convention, and there he was on video and he was on television. Yeah, First, he didn't have a check building. He didn't have anything. He was there and he said he had 1000 people in his church. He said, wow. And I said, I like this guy the way you have the vision. You you have to have friends who are like your vision. And so I I I found some a way of connecting to wizard indirectly to about 3 or 4 people and I invited him to Ghana and he came first time I saw him was in the front of our church. He attempts to say hello Sir, are you pastor Sir, I am pastor you are and Musa soon welcome. And we say that the singing worship was going on. Then I introduced him to preach. That's how he became my friend. Yeah. And your friends will change. If you are moving with girls who are sleeping with every boy, you need to change because your friends, your friends have to change based on your vision. Yeah. So awake and start to see and see far, see far, see far and let your vision make you so your spiritual vision. High pitcher, high pitcher, high pitcher's wife. If you want to be a preacher's wife, how many want to be a preacher's wife? Only four of you. The rest of you want to be what wife? Michael's wife? High Michael's wife. Amen #2 You will have a vision for your ministry, for your life, and for your ministry. I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old man shall dream dreams. Oh, what even even when it comes, when you now begin to have a vision for the ministry within the ministry, you have a vision for the kind of ministry. You get it. Lord, let let me have a dream, He says. I will. I will pour out my spirit on all flesh. They will dream. They will have visions. Now you see, even at the very early stage of my life, I was dreaming to be a teaching person. Teaching and teaching is powerful people who don't know teaching. We don't build churches with miracles. Yeah, the churches are not built with miracles. Churches are built through teaching, teaching, teaching, teaching. Teaching is feeding and the sheep will be given birth. Churches are not built with miracles and prophecies. The prophets know it and the miracle workers know it. That churches are built with teaching. As you kept teaching the Word. John Wesley was a teacher. That's how he built a Methodist Church. Amen. So you must have a vision for your ministry. And the best and easiest way for vision for the ministry is you see, See how this one is? I want to be like this. That's all. It's very simple. It's too complex to have a vision at your stage. You just have to just say I I cannot take him. I also wanted to teach like Kenneth Hagin and teach like Fred Price, simple and short. And I found myself doing that. Yeah. Those of you who have difficulties in copying, you have difficulties in progress of your life. Yeah. My greatest gift as I stand here is copying. I'm having. I have a gift of copying. Yeah, I copy. Spiritual copying, not copying in exams, spiritual copying. My greatest gift is copying. Probably the greatest asset that God has given me is the ability to copy something that I see. And recently when I studied monkeys, I realized that the difference between a three-year old monkey and a three-year old human being. One of the scientific studies that they did is that the monkey hobbies but leash out some of the things and then the human 3 year old will copy and do all the steps. So they'll give the two something. I have a video that shows about apes, and they'll show the same age. They're trying to see what's the difference, what's the little difference that makes the big difference. And then they found out that the monkeys, they'll give them something to do, Do this, then put a ball here, then turn this round and press this. Then go here. And then the ball will come here. And then they'll do it. And then the little child will go into the room, press this, go up here, do this, let it go here. Let the ball come out. Then it comes this way and the ape will go in. Do this, do that. Then you'll see there's a shortcut. Then you just take the ball and bring it over here and then finish it off. Huh? Huh. Eye shortcut. So they realized that the difference between a monkey and a human being, which is a small difference that they see at a certain developmental stage, is the inability to copy completely. Yeah, there's a difference. As I stand here, I tell you that my one of my greatest gifts is I copy. I copy fully. Yeah. So. And people can't copy. That is why. That is why they can't do well. Yeah. So as I look at Papa Hagen, you know, as I even write books, I write books more about ministry. And can Hagen write more about ministry? When I wanted to be an evangelist, I copy. I say, who is an evangelist? And I found I saw this Billy Graham. So I said, and he's the good preacher of evangelism. And I realized that most people can't preach evangelistic sermons because I was able to get him preaching then who can preach in Africa? I saw a monkey and I said, ah, let me find what he's doing. Ah, and I'm copying and copying and copying and copying. Today when we go to Nigeria, they keep on making references to Bonky. Oh, your crusade is this like Bonky's crusade is bigger than this? Because Bonky crusade is like this. All this, all this, all that they do. It's almost some way. Yeah, man, we are always copying. Recently I was in Nigeria having a crusade and Bonki was having a crusade in another town. In the morning when I was free, I said pack, pack the cars, let's travel there. We are going to see something that we can we make a copy that we haven't copied fully in case we have made some 8 mistakes in the copy, some shortcuts and we went there and keep copying. I watch videos to copy. That's how come I you see that I can catch up with people because you catch up. It's called Abramovich, one of the economies, he said surging forward, catching up and surging forward. Catching up is by copying. And that's how all the rich nations in the world move forward. They surge forward and they catch up with people that are ahead. Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So, my dear friends, you must have a vision for your ministry. I want to be a pastor. I want to be this. I want to be that. You can. You can't. But one at a time. Yeah, one at a time. And ladies, have your own vision. You know, like our sister Manana, who died. She had a vision herself before she met Vuyo. Is it not true? It was not because of you that she went to the Bible school. You know when she died. You know, when you die, your glory sort of comes out. I didn't know all that about her. But when she died, then I I I got to know about it. Isn't it? Possibly. Yeah, Very determined, She said. I go, I picture, I'm going. In fact, no one knew that she was going to just have 20 something years. Yeah, she just had a short life. Nobody knows. You think everybody's going to be 70, but she as a girl, as a lady, there's a lot of lady duty because of a boy. Sometimes when you see ladies happily in a church, it's because there's a brother in the church. That is why they are. That's why they are happily in the church. If you start questioning, you see that there's some beloved somewhere. There's something somewhere there. Or they are on the hunt. They are hunting. I hunt mercy. There's always a guy somewhere. You as a sister, have an independent vision. When I wanted to marry my wife, you know, one of the things that I looked for was whether she independently loved God, not because of me. So when I didn't even know her, then I started to ask questions and I found out what she was doing during the holiday that time. I was not her beloved. I wasn't that close to her. I just knew her well. And I found out, oh, during the holidays, she had started a fellowship called Beach Rd. Fellowship. Yeah. On her own. I said, wow, you did? Yeah. And she had these other friends. She said, wow, she's a founder on her own. And were you a member for Sir Jacob was a member of that fellowship. Yeah. Stand up for those who see you. You are a member of Fellowship, I remember, and then they went on dorm broadcast preaching. Were you a part of the dorm broadcast crusades? You had crusades. We had a crusade in the area. We had one was a party outreach, The video show. We did a party outreach Saturday afternoon and lots of people got born again. Then we had another crusade which you came with Bishopsati flew from Accra. It's covered great. It was very powerful crusade, the whole area. I mean we had never had anything like that. And it was it was great. And the leader was, it was anti system army. Yeah. So when when I found out, I was so impressed, I said, well, I didn't ask her to. I was away. I traveled, I was in London and I came in having to do this, do this. Just a serious Christian. And today as I'm here preaching, she's also preaching there in Switzerland and having a daughter, you can make it or something that daughters are going to do, doing something there. Yeah, but if you if you marry an anti headed sister, just dressing money, shoes, hair looking nice, everything always impressing, you are you can easily be in danger. Yeah. So you as a sister, you have your own special spiritual independence of any. And when you see a beloved and his life's vision is not compatible with your calling to serve God, you say, brother I Peter, I not follow you, I'm going to serve the Lord, Amen. Are you listening to me? So I am telling you that is something that you must decide or have personally, nobody not related to anything. I'm going to be a preacher. So when you wake up, you start to see. I can see. Lord, let me have a dream. Let me have a vision. Have anyone gone to let you have a vision? Let me have a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream. How I love. You. Words can never tell just how I love you, Lord. So she she used to sing like this before he preaching #3 You must have a vision for your marriage. Wow, Lord, let me have a a dream. Let me have a vision. When? When you have a vision when you're awake. You will not just like to marry anybody. It's true, huh? Yeah. You say I'm in love. You want to serve the Lord. You want to serve the Lord, and you are following. I'm in love. And the sister has got HIV, but still you are saying you are alone, huh. A certain pastor, he fell in love with a certain sister. And the sister said I have HIV, but I'm healed, he said, but I'm healed. So. Wow. I'm healed. And and the and the brother told me, the brother said the the the pastor who knew him told me. He said that the lady, he said if you see the lady, you'll understand why the pastor married her. He said she was very beautiful. Yeah, she was. She was strikingly beautiful. I remember that. She who strikes you has been struck. Yeah, and he had the largest church in the city. And he, he said she's healed. OK. So by faith, he married this beautiful lady. Is it? Brothers, you will not sacrifice your whole ministry for an ejaculation. I'll say it, I'll say it again. You cannot sacrifice your whole ministry for an ejaculation. An ejaculation into an HIV soup soup. HIV soup. When he got married and she looked very well, she was killed. She was killed. It seemed after the government, she started to have diarrhea. When the diarrhea came out, then she died. And then after he also started to have diarrhea, he died. He was the pastor of the largest set in his town. It's not that they say the pastor who buried him was the one who told me. He said nobody wanted to bury the pastor. I buried him. Yeah, so when you have the vision for your marriage, look carefully. You look at the sisters as well. Sister, are you a virgin? Are you a virgin? Yeah, virginity is important. So if you're not a virgin, OK, let's let's let me have a vision. If you are not, let's go. Let's go into the history. How many Syria killers have you been involved with? One or two or one or 200? Forgetfulness. No, you see, you have to, you don't. You don't just go into a soup without knowing what is in the soup. Soup. Benny Hinn. Benny Hinn said something he said. He said when he was going to get married, he had a certain lady and he was going and he went with her. He got to a certain mountain. It was very cold in Canada and he was with the lady and suddenly said the lady was speaking. Then he got to know some things about her. Then he said no, you are not clean, you are not clean. You are not clean because if you the the your greatest enemy and greatest destroyer for your whole life and ministry is your husband or wife. It will either be your husband or it will be your wife. So if you say I teacher look at it very well. Almost every missionary we sent who had to come back was brought back by the wife. It's true. So you can't say lol let me have a dream. Let me have a vision without having you. Your eyes should be open about women, Kenneth Higgins said one day. He was he was a young man. He had no wife and he he loved a certain sister. Wow. You see, tell the pastors to tell you their stories about their life. You see that they are just like you. It's that he loved and she used to sing beautifully. How I love you. Wow. You are my only God. You know what? I mean your glory and your brain when you speak to me, Lord, you say my spirit free and words can never tell. Just have I love you. So she she used to sing like this before he preaching. Kenneth Higgin young man. One day after church, a car came outside the church and the lady got into the car and went and Kenneth Higgin was a prophet. So suddenly he had a vision and he entered the car and he he entered the car and sat at the back in the spirit. He sat at the back and he said they drove out, out of town and out into the countryside and they committed adultery after church. They committed adultery in the car and he was at the back seat. You never know who's at the in the chair. Who's in the chair, watching you answer and permitting you. Some of you, you didn't see me when I sat in the room there. So he sat, yeah, you may never know. So he sat there. He sat there and he, he watched the whole thing. And the Lord revealed him, This is not a good, a good person for you. So he, he didn't, he didn't marry her, but he was good to marry her. But God, he gave him that mission to protect him. Yeah. So if you have a vision for your ministry and for your life, you have to have a vision for who you are going to marry. So that I see sisters first. I really want to serve the Lord. I really, I really feel, I really feel Prince desire first up. Look, I thought what Bishop was preaching up. I really thought something moving in my spirit. I really, I really love the Lord. And then you see a brother who has no spiritual direction at all, and that brother is proposing to this same girl who says and you are going to follow that person. So I ask myself that are you really serious about the spiritual vision that you said you have? It will make you choose whom you are going to choose properly. Yeah. So if you have a vision, once you wake up, you start to see. The first thing when you wake up is you see. And the first thing when you sleep is your eyes closed. You close. You even turn off the light before you. You, you, you close your eyes so that you don't see anymore. So when you don't have, when you are asleep, it's like you are not seeing anything about your life, about your ministry, about your marriage. It doesn't matter. When she's beautiful, she's OK. So she's beautiful. She's OK. When she's beautiful, she's OK. She's nice. She's got a guitar shape. OK, OK. No. She's fresh. She's exciting. No. So you have to have a vision or I'm going to pray for you today that God let me have. Let me have a dream. Let me have the right vision. Let me get out of sleep. Wow. This is the way I must go. And all of you who are pastors have the right vision. Your vision will make you it will make you happy. Even amongst pastors, you see that you move away from pastors who are backsliding. You shift from certain groups, you change the groupings. And you. Yeah, I don't many pastors, I can't relate to them because they, they, they, they talk about people too much. Criticize pastors. You sit with them for a few minutes. This one is like this, this one, this, this one that. It's a very bad thing. It's one of the dangerous things because you are criticizing yourself. You are cutting yourself down. Your future is finished. Yeah. But by talk about this, talk about that, talk about you can't do that. And so it ended up cutting me out of so many friends. Yeah. I don't like it. I don't want it. Don't. So you start to see, you know, I don't like it. I love Benihan. I don't know. Any problem you have is I'm. I am not qualified to discuss it. I want to receive anointing from Benihan. That's all. I don't. I want anointing. And God has blessed me too. The rest is no, no, no, no. Yeah, you start to change your groupings because of your dream, your vision. Amen. And I see you changing your groups. Yeah, that's why you are even at this camp. Some of you have already changed groups. There's a group that goes for camps, and there's a group that does not go for camps. And I see you have already joined the group that goes for camps, which is already a very serious group. Because if you are not serious, you cannot be here on Monday. Today is Monday. It's not that you have nothing to do. There's nothing to do on Monday, huh? Yeah. There's jobs, there's work to do, there's school to go to. But yeah, you are Monday, I think. I think you are a fool. You are sitting. You are sitting here. I think you are a fool. Amen. So have a vision for your life. Have a vision for your ministry. Have a vision for your marriage. Let me have a dream, Lord. Let me have a dream without being a dream of hold on, Let me have a vision. Let me have vision in the Spirit and let me work with diligence, always knowing that You're at the heart and the end of it. Oh Lord, and everything I do remind me of my love for You. Isn't that beautiful? Lord, let me have a dream. Oh, and Lord, teach me how to love. Horse of any heart in need of this love. O Lord, teach me how to give, for we sit giving that we'll learn how to live. And let me work and let me work with diligence, always knowing that you're the start. You're the start and the end of it more long. Lord, let everything I do remind me of my love for you. Lord, Lord, Lord, let everything, everything I do remind me of my love for you. Lord, let me have a dream. How many want God to give you a dream, A good dream for your life? Wow, huh. You have a dream. I want you to have a dream for your life. Let me have a vision. It's going to change you. Even even people in the world have visions and dreams. Somebody like President Clinton, every time I talk about visions, I always remember this thing that you came to Oxford University in England because you had a dream to be a president of America. Because there are certain things that make your qualifications better. You have fulfilled certain criteria. So you came from America all the way to Oxford. Wow. Then you have a dream, then you have a vision. It guides you for a long time. You see, you keep moving in a direction, you change your friends. Perhaps the greatest thing that your vision does make you change your company, in your company, and you keep getting closer and closer to a certain type of person. Hallelujah. And then the next one is you must have a vision for eternity. Amen. Many of us don't have visions for eternity, but eternal vision for eternity will make you become the most serious Christian that you could ever become. Amen. Are you listening to me? What do you think? Is it true or not true? When you think of eternity, you get up and you start to, you get up and you start to walk in a certain way. Amen. You see, because I'm thinking of eternity, I want this church in South Africa to be run by South Africans. That is my my aim. I want Big South African pastors. Yeah. And because it is, it is a church. Is it? If the church, the South Africans rise up and I can see you rising up, I say I see you rising up, the church will go way beyond my life. Yeah. So my life is just up to a point. If I didn't have a vision for eternity, I would want to have an empire. And I just, I'm sitting on the empire, you know, But because I can see that I'm going to go and that this two whole thing has to go beyond when I'm around, I want the people because that's the end of all churches, is that the people locally of that place run the churches, everything about their churches from them. You even forget where it started from. Like if you come to Ghana, the Methodist Church in Ghana, you don't you forget that this is from England, It's just Methodist in Ghana. They have the fancy songs, this song, that song, whatever Presbyterian Church is from Germany. You go to parts of Ghana, it's all the people are running it. We have a huge church called the Pentecost Church. It's the there's you there. It's a white man who started that church. Today there are about 10,000 churches and they don't speak a word of English in that church. So started by a white man from Scotland. Yeah, that's the end of the church. Always. The people are wild in the church and they do the church for the country. So I'm trying so hard. People don't even know. Trying so hard. Well, I see that a successful mission ends when you see that now the general Superintendent is a South African. They are not just a pastor, a full time pastor, but it's like the whole thing is South Africa. I'm moving. And really that is how the AFM was. It was started by somebody who came from America, what's his name? Lanji Lake. Now today AFM is like when you say AFM, you think of South Africans. So when you have the vision for A10, you know how it will be later, forever, always. So God has called me here to come and help you to wake up. And some of you are going to be the one, you the same person who is young, you are the one who's going to go and do all these things. Do you believe what I'm talking about? Yeah, Yeah. So I, I, I, you need to see for the eternity. When you have eternity in mind, you preach differently. When you don't have eternity in mind, you talk differently. You always talk about money, you always talk about prosperity, about task, about business, about what you are going to achieve. And all that is different from a person who has eternity in mind. Yeah. And this is an eternity minded church. So if you are not comfortable with it, then you need to find another church. Amen. And I can tell you something, those who say they are looking for money and they are prosperity oriented, I want them to bring their notes so that we put our notes on the left and the right and see who is prosperous, whether the eternity minded ministry is not richer than those who are ethnically minded. If you say you are prosperity, already said bring your money, bring your account, bring what you are able to do, put it on the left, also put mine on the right. And we see whether an eternity minded person is not more prosperous than a person who is earthly minded. Yeah, all those who say they are prosperity, you say you are prosperity church, you are money church. You are bringing people to success in life. Come in. Let's put. Sometimes people ask. So do you have time for your wife? Do you have time for your children, for your family? All I say is bring your notes, your family notes and your family pictures, OK. Your family notes, What you do with your family, what you do with your wife. Bring your sex life. Bring your sex life, your family life, your holiday life, every life in your children's life, put it on the left and put man on the right. Then after we've done that, compare that. We ask, we ask who we should ask. Who has time for his family? Yeah, that's all that I would say. People always ask those questions. So as you do the ministry, No, if I was not to do the ministry, I wouldn't even know about marriage. I wouldn't even know what is her husband, how to behave, what is this, what is this, what is this? So that one rather that guides you with know what to do. So I'm telling you, if you have a vision for attending, it's treating up so many things. You say you are you. You are for prosperity. I have some people who even say that they cannot stay in this church because we are always talking about about heaven and about working for God and they have other visions for whatever. And I want to say yes. And when we are praying, we don't pray for money, for we are always praying Thy will be done. I say you bring your notes, tell your neighbor, are you one of those people? Bring your notes, your prosperity notes, your marriage notes, your sex life notes. Bring all. Put it on the left, we put ours on the right and we see who's on is better. And your bank accounts, Doctor August says you must bring your bank accounts. Everything. Amen. One of our pastors, Patrick, he went to the north. He was in Norway and he came and he went to the north. Afghan said God has touched his heart from the north. Afghan said, Wow, OK. He said one day he met other fellow pharmacists and they this one was saying, I'm doing this job now, I'm doing this, I'm going here. He said he felt so stupid as he was going up to the north to kill, concentrate on the way. So recently I asked him, do you remember years ago you told me how you felt so silly as you what these guys said, you all finished school at the same time. This guy is working for what are the companies Pfizer, Smithline Beecham, what recent call and he was they all these guys, this one had this new card. So I asked him not so long. I said, so do you remember those guys? Where are they? He said Bishop, you can't believe this one has turned into smoke. This one has turned into evaporation. This one has turned into different things. He said I'm like a king compared to these people today. Hey, let's I say bring your notes. You that are following whatever, bring your notes. Let's compare. Let's see who who talks to his children. Let's see who plays with his children. One day I was somewhere playing with one of my daughters on a swing. Then a lady who was in our chair, she came and then she saw me. There was, I wasn't expecting to see her there. I was not expecting to see her there at all. So. So when I turn, I said, oh, how are you? I said, oh good. I shook hands. Uh huh, uh huh. And she was still looking at me. I said, what? Bye, bye. I said, bye bye. Go. What is it? He said, Bishop, I'm not used to you in this way, you know, which way do you want to be? Used to be. It is true listening to tapes that I have learned how to be a father when listening to Kenneth Hagin children. And when I listen to Kenneth Hagin, Fred Price, I learn all things prosperity. I learn it from the ministry. Yeah, I've learned from Kenneth. If you listen to the Macanair, you, you, you, you wonder whether you are listening to a marriage seminar as we are here already. Certain things have been said to already that if you listen to you see that forget about the ministry, say your life is being guided. So vision for eternity, it is the best if he got vision for eternity. One day I was sitting with a millionaire. Multi millionaire. Yeah, he has millions of the he has his own aeroplane, he has his own personal jets. I even asked him to use it on crusades and he told me something that amazed me. He said 80% of people like me do not have wills. They have not written their will. Yeah, they said 80% of people like me who are multi millionaires like me, they have not written their will. I said, really, when they die, is this confusion? But me, because of my orientation towards eternity. I, I I wrote the will long ago. Oh, yeah. As I'm standing, I have a will. I have wills. Will for the church is already known. You you know who who's supposed to do this? We have shuffling conference. We have councils. We have started sharing the church already. Share the church into spaces. Yeah, it's true. Orientation towards eternity makes you a very wise person. I read a book by a secular businessman. He was called something about samurai, principles of business, samurai warrior like this. You know the samurai. Yeah. And the first principle is the principle of death. He said always think about death. I thought what? That's what he didn't make me buy the book. When I bought it, I got to my camp and after that I can't find the book to read it. But I just saw the Prince. I got read it in the bookshop. What I remember from the bookshop, he said when you think about death, you become very wise. He said you will write your will so there will be no confusion if you are not there. He said you will not quarrel with your spouse because you know tomorrow may be the last day. Say all your relationships will be better because you know that you can just go. All this just because he said the principle of death, it makes your business better. That was the first principle for business. So not knowing that our vision for eternity, it changes everything. Samurais are teaching us what is in the Bible. Yeah, Manana had a vision of death or not death, that she was going to die, but she had a vision for eternity. She knew that death, like all of us. We should know that. Don't don't think you'll be 70. It's it's not a good thought. So I'll be 70 years old. Where did you learn it from? Jesus was 30 when he when he died 33. When did you learn? Where did you learn how to be 70? You are planning your 70th birthday at your age to be planning eternity. Life is so short. Amen. All right, so how many are going to have a vision for eternity? Oh Lord, let me have a vision. Let me have vision in the spirit and let me work with Dilly Jerk, always knowing that you're the star. You're the star, and as stay as love it, oh Lord. And everything I do remind me of my love for you, oh Lord. Here we have a dream. Oh, yeah, yeah. With that being a dreamer, oh, oh, oh, Lord, let me have a vision. Oh, yeah, let me have vision. If the spirit. Let me work, Let me work within a chance, always knowing that you're the God, You're the start. At the end of it, Lord, Lord, let everything die. Find me of my love for you and Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, everything, everything, everything I do remind me of my love for you. Go on, teach me how to love everyone. So many are you lead on this love. Go on, teach me how to keep, for if she'd give me that and learn how to live and let me work, let me work, let me work with Silly's eyes all which flowing that he holds far at me. And darling, Oh no, come on. Remind me of my. Love for? You you may be seated.
