02. What It Means To Be Called A Shepherd 1

Welcome to track number two of the privilege. Sit down, please. What it means to be called to be a shepherd #1 It means to be called out, to be summoned distinctly. Amen. Many disregard this heavenly privilege to their own heads. To be called by God is a far greater privilege than to be appointed to the White House. If you are a shepherd in Lighthouse, you are. You are far more privileged than Obama. Obama doesn't come anywhere near you. Yeah. We are talking about righteousness that endures forever. We are talking about being remembered forever. Amen. If you remember for a short time, but after that, you'll be gone and you'll be gone forever and forever. Amen. Are you there or you've gone home? All right, now I'm actually sharing from my book called Many Are Called now to be someone number one to be summoned distinctly Amen. When God calls you, he's calling you by name. Some of us are going to be shocked to our bones to find out that God knew us by name and called us Amen. So when God calls you to be a shepherd, he's actually saying your name and he say you come, you come, you come. Only that you have not heard the name being mentioned out loud in that way. But actually, actually what it is, is that you are being called by name. That is why you are thinking about certain things, because God has mentioned your name. You see, if I mention your name and I say something, you in particular will start thinking about certain things. Is it not true? But if I don't mention the name and I speak generally, you will not think about it deeply. So I remember one time we were doing broadcast, morning broadcast were preaching early the morning are done, we are not going to look at animals are done. We are going preaching and when we went out preaching, I realized that after doing it a few times, the people did not listen to us anymore. So I wanted them to really pay attention to what we were saying. So we decided to call them out by name. Do you understand? We didn't know the names that we knew their room numbers. So if this was room K4K5K6K7K8, we'll stand in front of K5 and say, K5, God is calling you today. K5 God has sent us to you this morning. K5, If you had in your heart, you'll be destroyed. K5 You never know whether this may be your last chance. K5 Maybe you are in there with your boyfriend. And some of them, the boyfriend was there. Hey, they were angry with us because they were not listening to our preaching anymore because they said, oh, these crazy guys come early in the morning, disturb us and they will go away. But this time wanted them to listen. So the fact that you are listening and paying attention and noticing is because your name has been mentioned in the spirit. Your name is being mentioned in the spirit. You are being summoned. Most of the time when God, people, God call people, he would call out their name said Jesus called Zacchaeus, Bible says. And Jesus came to place and looked up and said, Zacchaeus, make it. I'm sure he almost fell out of the tree when when he heard his name because he got joined by mass. He was up in the tree. Suddenly you hear Zacchaeus me. He says, Zacchaeus, calm down. Calm down from the Sycamore tree. Wow. And then the love saw that he tell us. I got called him out of the midst of the Bush and said Moses, Moses. And he said, here am I, You see, when they say something, you don't know who it is. But this time they mention your name. So God called Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus come, Moses, come. Almost all the calls, either your name is being mentioned in heaven. God has identified the privilege of all the people in Kenya, all the people in Tanzania. God has just found you and located. And he's called the name and says, Zacchaeus, come down from the Sycamore today. Today I'm coming to your house. Hey, what a blessing. And the Lord called Samuel and he answered, and he said, here am I God called Zacchaeus by name, God called Moses by name. God called Samuel by name Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle Saul. So why persecutors down me? I'm sure he was shocked to hear his name being mentioned. If I was lying in my room and I hear people shouting, 123 get up and go, hey 123 get up and go, I wouldn't think of myself 123 get up and go 123. Get up and go. What does it 123 But if I hear somebody just Bishop get up and go, get up and go, there is a resident leopard, a resident hyena, a resident whatever has come, I immediately know that it's applied because last I was hearing some sounds in the middle of the night, it is the sound when the lion has found something to eat. And I realized this one is not the film. This is the lion and I'm here. Here is the loud. Yeah, mine. And I'm sharing the sound. Hey, So it's only I didn't hear my voice. That's why I didn't get that from the bed. But if I'd heard somebody shout the bitch get up and go bitch up and say hey, that's why you'd have seen that I'm 100 meters runner. You see some of you, you, you become agitated and you become conscious of the fact that it's as if God is calling you. Are you supposed to be a pastor or whatever? It's because your name has been mentioned in the spirit. This how come you become like that? The way you become interested or see God wants to is because your name has been called out in the spirit. That's why you've noticed that sort of I mean, because if they just say whatever, no Bishop, Bishop you, they call out your Zacchaeus. How many Zacchaeus are they say Zacchaeus, calm down. You're the only one who is up. Calm down. Hey, Saul. Saul. So God is calling you today. What's your name? Messi. And your name is what? Jane. And your name is what? Salman. And your name is what, Mary? All of you have English name. You don't have Swahili names. Your name is what? Mukhali, Mukhali. And your name is what? Dennis. And your name is what? Ochil Ochenge Ochenge Ochenge God is calling you. Yeah, I've never heard my name Audie be like Dag, but he must have called because there's a certain attention you only give to something if your name is mentioned. Yeah. You will never pay attention if I say go out, go out, go out. You see? Nobody is going out. What is your name at the back there, dear brother, You can see me. Yeah. You. You, son. No, no, not you. The one behind. No, not you. The one in front of you. Not you. I'm very specific. The one that. No, in front of you. Yes. You stand up. What is your name? No, not you. Not you. Paul. Walk out. You see, I said go out, but he nobody went out. But when I say Paul, go out, you see he's gone. So when your name is special, you you start to become it. It means me. And God doesn't just call anybody, even me. I don't just ask anybody to work for me. I I am more than a filter. Yeah, you see, even like with food. Oh, Paul, sit down. Sit down. You see you are standing. What's your name? Michael, Sit down. Michael, sit down. Did you hear me? I said sit down, you see? But when I was saying sit down, it was not OK. But when I mentioned his name, he has left the camera. And yeah, yeah, left the camera. And he said that. So. So God is calling you distinctly. He's mentioning your name. That's how come you've noticed. You will never notice until your name is made. Angels have written you and recommended No, this is a suggestion. We have 3 suggestions from Kenya 123. We have 3 suggestions from Tanzania for Apostolic colleagues. We have some three suggestions. Angels are bringing them for recommendation. When God is calling you, you will be saying that. Can I see you? Can I see you next week? I have some business in China. Have some business in China. Can I come to the house? You're joking. There's a tournament in your eyes. And when he had gone a little further, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in the ship mending their Nets. And straight away he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the ship and with the hired servants. Amen. So to be called by God, Hey, hey. It's very scary when your name is singled out and your name is mentioned and you don't come. You can easily die shortly after your calling. Oh, when you call somebody and it doesn't come, it can easily be dismissed. I called you, they didn't come. Now what is the use of you? And then supposing you, you call your macever, come, come, come, doesn't come. One day I was I was working at the hospital and then I was in our officially I was in room 104 and there was an emergency in the ward and they came to call me that day. I I moved from my room that night. So they came to 104 but I was not in 104. They came to bang on the door that we need you of the ward now. I was not there when I went to the morning ish. Wasn't easy. I almost, I almost, I almost didn't finish my housemanship over that issue. Yeah, it's it's one of the most serious thing to be called. And you don't go because it caused the death of somebody and that that person died. That person died, died after a couple of days. It's just a very serious thing. Yeah. He came to call you. They didn't come. I said I wasn't there. You should have been there. Well, you they call. You wouldn't come. If they didn't call you, that would have been OK. And and and and the my professor just said you realize that you have to be signed out. That's all he said. I hope you know that we have to sign for you to go. If they don't sign, you cannot. You're not you can't go. You're not a doctor. So I hope you realize that's all. They didn't say anything again. And from that day, everybody's face was squeezed on me in that place. Hey, they call you, say I'll see you. Can I come to the house to see you? That you are joking. African Cup is in your eyes. Africa Cup, you are watching a game and you are not serious. You see, when you are watching games, you are not serious. Do you understand what I'm saying? I'm watching games. I'm just happy. So this one has caught. This one has caught. You are joking. You are watching people playing and you are just eating popcorn and drinking coke. You are joking. God is calling. You are watching Africa Cup, are watching World Cup. They call you, You will not go. One day I call one of my pastors. He said I won't come. Do you think he's still around? He's not around. As soon as he said that, no, the background came. It's time to go. Be there and say that you will not come. Three names were mentioned in heaven and your name was one suggestions to the father of people that can be used in Kenya and that can be used in Tanzania. And they mentioned your name and when they mentioned your name and they saw it, they said, can you see me later? I'm doing something important, important, important, important. I hope you know. I hope you know that you need to be signed. Sign on to continue staying on Earth. But #2 to be called by God to be a shepherd is to receive special mercy. 2nd Corinthians chapter 4, verse one. 2nd Corinthians chapter 4, verse one. Many are called. Have you seen this book? You need to have a copy of this book. Many are called. Yeah, it's a very powerful book. Many are called You don't have to be right Notes. You just get a book and the notes. Are there somebody like you? You are. They are calling you to be a pastor. Have you thought of how you are somebody like you? Have you thought of how you are like and how you are not like? And God calls you and he says, come and work for me. And you say, can I see you in the evening? Can I, can I come to the house? You are joking. You should have been dead by now. God has extended your life. Hey, I once read a book. I don't know if it's true. He said that anybody who has a special call on his life, usually the person has had a near death experience before. But it was the devil trying to kill the person before. The person will do his call. Now I don't know if it's true. Is it true like John Wesley, his house was on fire and they took all the children. There was one child left. He he was in that's when they came out. They were a lot savage and they came out the whole house was on fire. He was inside asleep and the whole house was burning. And when they counted the 123-453-7897 remember what who is not here? John, John is inside the fire. So the father would have rushed back to the house and snatched him and was able to come out with him. So when he was around 40 something years old, he became very sick and he was, he thought he was going to die. In those days. They really by 40s you are, you are dead. I mean by 40s you should be dying. So around 40 something he became very, very ill. And then he started, we wrote all his will, everything. And then he wrote what they should write on his tombstone. He said right on my stone. So 1 snatched out of fire. See, I was snatched out of fire so that I could work for the Lord. So it's to receive mercy. You should have been dead long time and the Lord himself had mercy on you. A bad boy like you, champion fornicator of the world. It's only that they are not doing competition otherwise you'd have won the World Cup. You don't want World Cup for fornication if even you are not World World Cup, Africa Cup or Kenya Cup National Kenya Open show Balabar. I could have been dead in my grave. I could have been dead in my grave. Oh, I could have been there, sleeping in my grave. Sleep in your box. God bless me to see another day. And even. When I did wrong, he was still there. Oh yes, I'm so glad that God. I'm so bad that God is still here. I walked to the churchyard on a Sunday morning. She said I went to church. Outside, contemplating if I should walk through the door. You see, a lot of folks knew me from way back. Then people knew me. People hold unto all of my past 10, but I know all I've seen and come short of is glory. But I'm glad that I'm here to tell a story. Oh, that I could have been dead sleeping in my grave. Oh yeah. But God blessed me to see another day. Oh, just one more day. And even when I did wrong, he was still there. Oh yeah. I'm so glad of God still here. A Sinner spread. I'm so bad a God still He hears a Sinner spread. He that is without sin let him cast the first. Don't. Listen. 'Cause there ain't nobody above him but the man sitting on the throne. Now it's about time for us to stop judging one another. Stop acting holy at them thou. Of your heads, of your head. Of your head, of your brother. For I know all I see. And come shut up is glory. Yeah. But I'm glad that I'm here to tell the story that could have been dead sleeping in my grave, in my dark, dark, dark grave. God blessed me to see another day or just one more day. And even when I did wrong, he was still there. Yeah. I'm so bad of God. Still hears a sin, a spread. I'm so glad that God still hears a sin, a spread. Now let me pray. Let me pray, pray, pray. Our Father, come on, we chart in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Now give us this day, our delivery, and forgive us all day as we forgive our dentists and leave us. Not leave us, not into temptation, but deliver us, deliver us, deliver us. For thine is the Kingdom, and thine is the power, and thine is the glory, forever and ever and ever. I'm so glad, I'm so glad. Oh, yes. I'm so glad. God still here's a sin of spread. I'm so glad, I'm so glad. I'm so glad. Oh, yes, I am. I'm so glad God still here's a sin of spread. So, so glad. I'm so glad. Oh yeah. I said, are you? Glad. I'm so glad God still hears a scent of spread. Sit down. Hallelujah. All right. Are you hungry? OK, All right. The leopards eat in the night, so we have to be at work in the day, and we leave the night for them. Hey, I've never been to a camp with a resident leopard. OK. OK, Number four or three. Three. It means to be separated for God's purposes. To be called by the Lord means to be separated for his purposes. Amen. Perhaps this is the most important definition of what it means to be called. God's calling isolates you and separates you from the larger body of Christians. Amen. You are separated from the larger body of Christian, so don't feel sad. Oh, we are not like others. We are not like, what are we doing? Sometimes on Sundays you see other people go home in the afternoon to their families and so on, and you are in a church doing all kinds of things. You don't have to be worried about that. God has separated you. Rather, you should. You should be thankful. You should delight in His commands rather than complaining, because they quickly forgot and they began to complain and they rebelled against His commandment. They murmured and they tempted the Lord, and therefore the law sent among them a plague, a wasting disease amongst them. Don't forget a bad person like you. You have a chance to work for God. You are now saying something and complaining. You are joking. To be separated means to detach somebody from a larger group. Your calling therefore means you have been isolated for the purposes of God. Separation means speaks of being severe from an association. It means you have been withdrawn from something. It means you have been withdrawn from secular life and secular ideals, you see, like secular ideals, That's what I was talking about, mingling with the nations. The nations have their ideals. They have their goals, They have their vision. But to be called me, to be separated from these ideals. So your ideals are different from the world's ideals. Do you understand when I say ideals, Ideals. Is that something you should ideally? That's what you should do. Yeah. Amen. And to be separated even means sometimes to be separated from other Christians. Oh yeah, Especially if you have, if God has called you, sometimes you'll be separated from other Christians because it's not only unbelievers who are doing wrong things or going the wrong way, A lot of Christians are going the wrong way as well. So many times to be called me, to be separated from unbelievers and sometimes from believers. Amen. That's true. Now the word separate comes from the word Badal. Everybody say Badal. It means to distinguish and make a difference between you and others. To make a difference between you and others. Amen. Why don't you want to be different? Why do you want to be like everybody else? Why don't you accept what God is doing in your life? It's making you distinguished and different. Can't you see how Jews are Jews always? They, they look different. They, they, they sound different. They dress differently. They're always different. You see a Jew, you know these are Jews. I tell you, you see a Jew, you know these are Jews. Wherever they are in the world, they have a little cup. I asked when I went to Israel, I asked, what is the cup? He said we wear it because it means that there is somebody above us. There is God. God is above us. That's why they wear that small cup. Everything has a meaning. Sit down with their beards with a cap. Saturday they don't work. My wife worked for some juice. She was there. She was their house help. They turn on the light on Friday. They turn when they turn on the light on Friday. They are not allowed to switch it off because it's work to switch it off and you are not supposed to work on Saturdays. They don't. They don't like you. Put a switch like this off. We are. No, no, Sabbath is holy. We don't work. We, we, we, we, we rest. They pay tithes. They are special. They are different. And with that difference comes a different blessing. They are also the richest. So you see, when God separates you, if not just separate you, make you look hot. But with the oddity comes certain blessings that you can never get anywhere else. Oh yeah, I am separated from most of the people that I knew when I was growing up. I'm odd. I don't mind being odd. Even now in the ministry, I'm odd. So what I'm preaching about it feels odd. That's why I had to give that long introduction. Some one O 6, some 112 and I have to explain myself before I start going into the court. You have to explain myself, not before you don't understand. You don't understand. What am I talking about is like, don't I know about the lives of the people? People also need to live. They also need to have honest work. They need to do this and they need to do that and all that kind of thing. You know that this and that what you are talking about every time. Don't you have any other subject? Is there nothing else that you can say? You're math like frog, I tell you. That's why I have to go into Psalm one O 6 and after Psalms before I can speak. Now, is it not a blessing that God has separated you? What higher blessing could you want? And for God to make you different? Amen. Are you there? Deuteronomy chapter 10, verse 8. At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to stand before the Lord, and to minister unto him and to bless his name. Unto this day. The Lord separated the tribe of Levi, you understand, from the other people of God. The tribe of Levi was separated to bear the ark of the covenant, to stand before the Lord and to minister and to bless His name. You need to be isolated to be able to do His work. Amen. You need to be. And that's why full time ministry is also very important. A lot of people who are lay pastors, you must give a very high recognition and high respect to somebody who is in full time ministry. If you don't do that, then you, you, the delusions are mounted on your life because it takes a lot to step across into full time ministry. I'm telling you, it's not a small thing. You see it natural, as if it's something that is just second nature to people. But it's not easy. If I ask you to be full timer, you see what will happen. You will develop epilepsy, skin rashes, all kinds of problems because you cannot leave so many precious things behind. So when you see somebody doing that, someone, you see the people that are already separated and working in the House of the Lord, you will think that they didn't have anything to do before. Most of the people that are some of the people that work for me as secretaries and they work for me, most of them either they work at Wall Street, they work at as lawyers, doctors, what are all high professional bank managers, what have you. These are the kind of if you were to see them in those days, you will never in mind that such a person can work in the church. Yeah, they are taking a step you have not been able to take. So you have to show a high respect. It shows a certain level of understanding. Amen. It's not a small thing to be separated for his work. Are you listening to me? Yeah. The another word, the Greek word, there's a Hebrew word is ballad badao. But the Greek word also brings another important revelation. It says aphorizo. Aphorizo. And it means to keep two people apart by a boundary. That's why I said there is a difference between full time ministry and lay ministry. There is a boundary. And that boundary, before you cross it, you lay down so many things and say here I am, send me as if you don't have a mind. Amen. Are you listening to me #5 To be called means but in many other people who were called were separated. That was a Paul, the servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle and separated unto the Gospel. Amen. Separated unto the gospel. Your life is separated for the God. You are set aside only for Gospel. Catholic priests are some of the best examples of what it means to be separated. See that they are aside and they are only for the gospel Catholics, Catholic priests. To me, the sacrifice of a Catholic priest is higher than our modern psychedelic priest that we have amongst us. Catholics are more separated, it seems to me. I I I really have a high esteem when I see a person who says I will be a Catholic priest. Hey, I cannot do it. You know, Marie, you just be in a room, the house and all the Catholics they learn they are separated. One day I went to a crusade. I like KJB Jessica in the north somewhere of Ghana and I saw the Catholic is wearing his white dress and he came and attended our pastors conference. He was sitting on stage with a German book. Italian, different. They read different languages. Yeah, they study Latin, German. They can speak different, different, different languages. A Catholic, when he's becoming a Bishop, and so they can speak fluent German like the Pope. He speaks different languages. Speak Italian. You speak German, you speak this, you speak all the languages. That's such a small thing, psychedelic pastors, that we have today. Champion fornicators who have become pastors. Just a few days ago I was consecrating a Bishop. I consecrated a Bishop and he said he told me and he said he said I was I was a gangster. Do you know what is gangster? Do you know what is a gangster? What is a gangster? Let me check the star of a gang. A gangster is a hoodlum. A crook, a thug, a bandit, a tough food. A robber, A gang member, A mobster, A racketeer, A desperado, a raffian, a brigand. Hey, this is what he was. Who? A gangster is a member of an organized group of violent criminals and I was making him a Bishop. So as he was sitting there I said organized violent criminals. Who has become a Bishop today? God is wonderful. Separate me, Barnabas, and Soul for the work that were unto I have called them. Today, as we stand here, God is calling you to separate yourself for His work. Separate yourself from your secular work. Secret yourself from other Christians. Secret. Separate yourself from other people in the church so that you can do His work. Amen. Are you there #5? To be called means to. OK, number #5 number four, to be appointed for a special purpose. Have I given you that one? OK, God has some special purpose for you. Everybody has a special purpose. Amen. In Hebrew, to be appointed means to give a charge to someone and to commit something to someone. What a privilege to have received such an appointment, to be just put in charge of something. Maybe God has put me in charge of saying particular messages. That's why I don't speak other messages. I have some particular method that have been put in charge of say these messages, say these particular things, say these particular things. That's my what? My responsibility and all of you have been appointed for a special purpose. There's something particular that you are coming here to do, and if you don't do it, it won't be done. You see, everybody is so special that everybody does something special and that's it. As I'm preaching here, so many people have done so many things to make it possible for me to be here. I'm not the only one. Everybody has some. And if you like don't do your part, the whole thing becomes a way. It's true. So many people work before I work. Everybody's doing some special. And sometimes the work is so special that you can't you can't even know what work the person is doing. So when God calls the government, I'm doing something, love, I'm going somewhere. Please can you check next year? By this time I should be free. You are a joker, You are on a safari, you are just having fun. You've seen a zebra and you are happy that God is calling you. Amen. Those are the back. Are you awake? The lady with the cap, Those of you in the middle there with the caps. Are you feeling cold? Stand up. Stand up that section and receive a special blessing. You don't want blessing. OK, that's it. I don't like blessing all that place. Stand up. And the row behind you too. Yeah, that row. Stand up. Just be standing. It's a special blessing for you. You have been called out and separated from the rest of the people. Hallelujah. How many are going to do your special work? I like this particular one because it shows that everybody has something special to do. You have something special. I have something special. Pastor Richard has something special. Everybody has something special. I Pastor Richard. I sent him to landing some years ago. I did something special. He has done something special that all these years. If he, if only he will not do what he's doing. It's very unlikely that you will not be here because a part of his special work was to rescue Pastor Obi from perishing in London. When Pastor Obi was in London, he was a completely backslidden person. When we invited him to church, he said how many are you? We were just about 6. He said, oh, grow, When you grow, I will come. There was a World Cup in his eyes. Now, if Pastor Richard has not done his work, his special purpose, there would be no Pastor Obi. Now, when Pastor Obi was sent here, there's no money in Kenya to finance him. The same church in London which Pastor Richard was faithfully there, paid for him to come. And then when you're going to buy your building, the same people that Pastor Richard was looking after, he has been feeding them, feeding them, feeding them. You have to feed your sheep, so when you need something, you can go and collect it. He has been feeding them, feeding them. We went to, I went to play my special purpose. I went and raised some small funds out of the paper. I said, oh, give for Kenya, for Kenya, for Kenya. Because we say everybody, you know, Pastor B is always in front here, is always sitting here. So give. So I played my part, Pastor Richard plays. But when I left, Pastor Richard's wife also played the part, calling the people who said they were giving the money for Kenya. Yeah. And Pastor Richard also played his part. So then we are all here now you see in the midst of leopards and lions. Hey, so you see how it is when one person in the chain says, can I see you in the house? One person says I have something that I'm doing. It changes every and I know, I know there are many people have asked come do they don't do. And I know it's only in heaven that we will see This never happened, this person never came, that person never this, this one, this, this one. It's like that we see the ones that have worked that we don't see the ones that did. If I was not look, you know, I've never seen Jesus like in a vision, I'm sure maybe I've seen him. I've not seen like how you see Pastor Kingsley here and he's talking to me. He's telling me something. No, it's something I pray for all the time. Even in my room when I was hearing the thing, I thought maybe Jesus has come and I'll look at some animal, I don't know with a long tail was over and I could see when the light came out, I could see the shake. It's straight from this place to about here. And it was walking on the roof. The roof is made of cloth and it was, it was as it was and the roof is bending as it's moving that it was trying to come inside. So it was looking for a hole and I was saying, Lord, make sure that there is no entrance in this whole tent, Send an Angel to secure the place because it was trying to come inside to where I was. Are you listening? Yeah. What I'm trying to say is that when somebody doesn't play his little part, everything's going to be different. Everything's changing. So when you are appointed for a special purpose, you'll see that this one went by because this one didn't do. Now the whole thing has to twist. That's what turn a bit left. So it will go a bit left. When somebody plays the, then it will go a bit right. So when you go right, you're like, you've reached somebody who doesn't do his own. Then you see, you do like, then you see that one person's muscles will be getting bigger because when there's the legs are not working, you see people who have handicap, you see that they have a lot of muscles. So you see that somebody's muscles will be developed at a place because some people are not doing anything. So and I'm doing what they saw some other persons overworking and doing some extra things because this one will not do it. That's how, that's how the ministry is. Everybody has some special papers. God can say you come do this, this, this cool. You help this person, go give him money. Go do this for him. Help. This book that I'm writing, I don't even know how to type. I don't even know how to type. You see, Mr. If you are, if you give me paragraph, I have to send all of you out one hour before I can type just one to five lines like this. I've seen it before. I don't even know how to type. I don't know how to send emails. I don't even have I don't have even a computer. As you see me not free like that. I don't have money. I don't carry my nothing if you rob me wouldn't get anything out of here. I don't have money. It's true. So my dear friends, when you have your special role, don't say can I see you in chambers, your math. So there are things that somebody like me I cannot do. Everybody is different. You see in Ghana, they call me 1/2 caste. I don't know what you call people like me in Kenya .5 so serious. I'm a .5, No too bad, huh? Point T is what? Point T is sort of .5 and so a .5 in my country. There are some things that you can't. I can't speak certain languages I cannot speak. There's only particular things I can do so I can speak more English. I can only preach in English. I only understand English songs. So our church has become a little more international. We can flow well made more English, right? I was more Ghanaian because I'm only half Ghanaian. I'm exactly half Ghanaian .5 exactly half .5. There was more Ghanaian. I may not be non Ghanaian enough to minister in Kenya or to to to think of Kenya. It's true. So you see I have my own special and other pastors who can speak the certain language. They also have something they can do. They are 1.0. Do you get it? Everybody has what he can do and there are a whole lot of things that I can't do. I just can't do them, but somebody can. So now I'm here in Kenya. I know that's a lot of things I can't do in Kenya. I can only go up to a point. Just up to a point I can. If I come here as a mission, it's up to a point. If you possibly can just go up to a point that is too old to learn set. I mean to become fully Kenyan at his age, to take him so long before he comes, baby, when he speak the language the way you always say, this man is a foreigner. It's not a real or whatever from here, you see, but you are the real person from here. You are the one who can do certain things. You are the only one. So you sit there and say, can I see you in the evening? Can I see you after? Oh, not me, I'll let somebody do whatever. When it is you, the thing depends on you. So when you have your special people, don't play with it the way you play with you, See that? The whole me I've seen like this, I go like this. When I reach somebody who will not work, I just go this way. I just keep looking. I just keep everybody who worked for me, there was somebody. Almost every job that somebody does around me, somebody was supposed to do it. I didn't do it. And then the other person came. Almost every job, my crusade director abo somebody's, he's doing somebody's job. Every time I see him, I think of that person. It's true. My secretary, she somebody else had it was not her job. I had somebody long ago. I've known the person for a long. I said come and work for her. She said Oh well, she's going to university. She wants to do some course said OK, anytime. Somebody said can I see you later after I go to school, I'm doing this. So she's going to university. When she finished university, I was wait, I was waiting. I was waiting. So graduation, graduation, if you finished, you need that's the mature person. When she finished, I was waiting before I realized the persons are so, so that the person's applied for another job, say, oh, I've been waiting for three years for you to finish this course so that you can come and work so that we can do more things, books as well. If I realized apply here, apply here, apply here without saying it. What's the first? Oh, Michelle, Michelle smiling VNP. The person's a VNPVNV in the church. We have VIP, very important, VNP very nice VFP very flowing. We have different VVS in the church. This one V1 of the VNPS I've had for many, many years. Oh, she swept me totally she was from I say, hey, that's why this as soon as I hear something, can I see you Oh, this as I have to do this, I'm immediately I don't even ask from experience, don't say my one person told my grandmother sometimes I say please. I've had and it was in England and a singing group came to sing. The group was led by a certain man and then some 3 or so singers there, I forget the name of the group. And he preached. He was preaching. They were the singing group in Europe. When he finished preaching, the leader of the group requested to see him. So when the Delilah came, the leader came and said, I feel in my heart God wants me to wait for you. And Bonky said, me, I don't have any. So what do you do? I don't have any job for you. I don't have anything that you can do. And the guy said, no, no, I feel that God wants me to work for you, that he had bunk, he was big, he had tracks. There's this was doing big crusades. Then the man said, no, I believe God wants me to work for you. So he asked, what can you? So he said, no, we don't have any job. We just have, we have trucks and driving trucks. And the man said, I did engineering, I did engineer. I was an engineer. I know this, this, this whatever, Bonky said. We don't have any work for somebody like you are like a big person and also your singing group. And the guy said this and he told him all the things he could do. When he went, the man left his whatever and flew to Bonky in South Africa. A few months after he said I'm coming to work for you. And the things that a guy could do is that he organized, reorganized everything. They could say his tracks. He started in his biography, he described the thing the man produced to him. Then Bonky went on to his wife. And you know what he told his wife? He made a comment over. He told his wife, it seems we have found a golden fish, a golden fish. It seems we have got a golden fish in our bone. That's that's the weather. He used to describe this guy. That's Peter Vandenberg. You see him in Bonke. He's the right hand man of Bonke, vice president of Christ for All Nations. After today, for more than 30 years he has been with Bonke. He left that same group and came to be with it. And he made that comment, said that he reorganized all his tracks. They were wasting money, everything, all the kinds of things were going on. He didn't know. But the man could do all those things for him. And he told us why he seems we have found a golden fish in into our bowl. This is why he told his wife since we have found perhaps you are somebody's golden fish that the person is supposed to find in his bowl that to come and add to his life and his miss that would change and transform everything. And you are sitting there say, can I see you tonight after church? Can I see you later? Perhaps you are somebody's golden fish. It's true. Hey, Shia, I see so many golden fishes around. Now you'll be a golden fish for somebody because not everybody is going to be that great apostle or that great whatever or that great whatever, but you may be somebody's golden fish. Hey, when I read it, I said love is true. He turned to his wife. He said he told his wife in the hood, said it seems we have found a golden fish. It seems we have the golden fish in our bowl. I like it. I need to get a goldfish. Somebody get me a goldfish from my office. I'm going to have a board. Put 1 fish in it signify the ministry of helps and those golden fish that come to help us in the ministry. Shia Hallelujah. Those of you who are separated unto God's papers, you may take your seats. #5 It means to be sent out properly. Amen. May you be sent out. Joseph said, God sent me before you to preserve you. I tell you it's a great thing to be sent by God. Moreover, God said unto Moses, When you go, you shall tell the people that God of Jacob has sent me to you. Wow. You know, anytime you see a man of God come into your life, think it in this way that God has sent a person to me. Don't just say that the man was talking a lot. No, you are a fool. You are a fool. I'm insulting you today. Say why a fool? The man was talking a lot. What do you mean? What you have to say is that God sent him to me. Can I have an e-mail from somebody? That's what I want you to say. This is how you have to think. That's what I think. God sent him to me to talk to me. That's how you should talk. He was talking a lot, so many things. He said so many things, so many things to talking a lot, talking a lot. Your mind is working in the reverse way, the poverty mind that's working, you have to say God sent him to me, to my life. God sent me and each time the servants of the Lord throughout the Bible, Joseph said the Lord sent me to Egypt. You don't say I was arrested and there were certain problems and before I could realize I was no, before you could realize you are speaking like someone so shallow spiritual. You have to realize that this is how God sends. God sent all those of you are missionaries. I pray God sending you said go here, God sent you, God sent you Moses. When you go and they ask you why you say God sent me, the God of Jacob, the God of Abraham has sent me, Amen. Wow. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted. Hallelujah, the next one. How many do you have? 5 number six. It means to receive grace from God. Wow. To receive grace from God. Amen. Which means graciousness, kindness. Hallelujah. Amen. Hey. The grace of God was upon him, the Word was made flesh, and we beheld His glory as of the only beguarding of the Father, full of grace and truth. Amen. Paul said the grace of God was abundantly above me, on me, and the grace of God where I was giving was not in vain, for I labored more abundantly than them all. If you are here today, it's the grace of God. Today is Thursday isn't it? It is a working day. You should have been at your at your office, at your work. Look at where you are sitting. You are in a camp with a resident leopard and you are hearing the word of God, a bad person like you. Look at the things you used to do and the lies you used to tell and now you are sitting here holding a Bible. They are preaching to you and you are writing notes. Is it not grace of God? It's the grace of God. Amen. God is looking at you with love eyes. Is it not true? It's not looking at you. Some grace be shining on you. So to be called is to receive grace. Wow, how many want to receive more grace? Oh yes, you want more, more grace? God should give us grace. Amen. While she's getting ready, the next one is to receive a ministry from God. Oh, a ministry? A ministry, huh? Take heed to the ministry which thou has received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it. Pass a clip. You've received a ministry to Ethiopia. I mean, what are you doing in Ethiopia? It's a ministry. You have received it. You have been given to you by a minister. That's all. Wow. I beseech you, brother, You know the House of Stefanas that it is the first fruits of Akea and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the Saints. It's a ministry. You have received the next one. You have received a talent from the Lord. I wake up in the morning and look into the mirror. The same old face is staring back at me and I cry, 'cause I don't seem to get any mirror to the person I wish I could be. But then I look into your love eyes. You see me through your love eyes and beauty is what you see in me because you wash me with those tears falling from your love eyes. All the people see is the part of me that you're in. They figure that's the way I'll always speak. Oh, but you look ahead to the day I'm full grown and beauty is what you see in me. And so I look into your love, love eyes. You see me through your love eyes. And beauty is all you see in me. Because you wash me with those tears falling from your love eyes. I've heard but it's said that love is blind, but I know that just ain't true because love can leave the past behind. Lord help me to love like you. Look into your love eyes. You see me through your love eyes and beauty is all. You see me 'cause you wash me with those tears falling from your love eyes. Your love eyes. Are you glad that God is looking at you too? Special spectacles. Love eyes. Your love eyes, you wash me with those tears falling from your love eye. Hey, if not for the grace of God, it seems God has some special spectacles. That is when he sees. You know, let me wear my glasses before I look. If I don't wear my glasses, I don't know what I will see. And those love eyes, when God put them on, then he doesn't see a whole lot of things and he's just seen some messes. And grace, as somebody like you, somebody like me, look at us here as if we are holy, as if we are holy. Messy. The next one is to receive a talent from the Lord. Receive a talent. Amen. Are you ready to receive a talent? And on to 1. He gave 5 talents. Wow. A talent can be described as a general ability of some specific intelligence. Amen. Wow, Amen. When you are called, you receive a flair for doing certain things, a capacity, an ability, an endowment, a gift. Hey, may you use your capacities and your gifts and your endowment for the Kingdom of the Lord. Amen. Maybe your face is beautiful. You can use it as a as a gift to witness or to welcome people, to be nice, to be pleasant. Maybe your face is very stiff and twisted and you look very frightening. You can use that as a security guard for the church and be a nice security guard in the House of the Lord. When the people see you, they will be afraid for the Lord. It's a talent. Tell somebody it is a talent. Hey, is it fantastic? Yeah, you can frighten the leopard away. The next one is to receive a gift. Hey. Wow. A gift means you have been given a natural capacity for certain things. You see things that are not a natural capacity. You've been given a gift and the Bible says Amen. The Bible says I long to see you, that I may impart some gifts. Then it says having them gifts. Romans 12/6 gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophecy according to the proportion of faith. Amen. Now one day I was preaching, somebody said to me, my, my host who was home, He said that he said you, you preach. He said it looks effortless when you are preaching. Do you see? But you see, it's not actually that it is effortless, but that is what the gift that I have. When she sings, it says it looks effortless. But you see, if you try to do or I try to do it, we are going to crash. You get what I'm saying? So this is the whole point that everybody has been given a natural capacity. That means it's your gift naturally. That is how you are. So you must always try to find what you can do naturally. Some people are naturally orderly, everything they want to arrange, they do it with the things in their room. That's one of the ways sometimes what I'm going to impress myself. Who is tidy? You or your husband or you or your wife, You find out that one person is maybe tidy. That's usually the person who can handle money. I mean, I remember one guy, I came to his house and saw it. He has arranged 2cm from here is the deodorant 2cm from the 2cm from the deodorant is the perfume pomade 2cm from the pomade is the comb 2cm from the Let's talk a joke. I'm telling you literally I saw when I move. He arranged. No, I tell you the guy was very strict. Very, very, very strict. My one of my best friends, very strict guy tell you I'm printing. If you are not like that, you shouldn't be handling money because it's not natural. Naturally you are just confused and naturally everything is disorderly. Naturally you are untidy, naturally you are dirty. It is true there are something that are natural capacities and and it's effortless. The person who wouldn't use not that it's also God's, God's endowment for the person. Do you understand there are some people who are natural leaders. They say that they start to take decisions. OK, we have to do this now. The immediate is advanced. Sometimes the wife is more of a leader than as well. But because you have to submit, it always brings coffee. But the wife can consider, you know, we have to do this now. We have to take a decision now because this is going to lead to this, which will lead to this, which will be happening to this, so that the head is natural. I have to do this. I have to do, I have to do this, you know, immediately. Let's do this, let's do this, let's do this. You don't struggle because it's natural. It's a gift. It's a natural capacity for certain things. Are you there? Yeah. So that's, that's what God gives. So some of the things you are doing, anything you do that seems effortless, remember it's probably your gift. And as I'm preaching the ministry, I mean, I don't feel I'm working. That's one of the things that the difference between this work I'm doing and working as a doctor at the hospital. When I'm working as the hospital, I wanted to go and leave. Always, always I wanted leave. I wanted to go and leave. I calculated 28 working days. The 20 working days number this 20 working days we have 20 working days and I was always doing some calculations OK the 6th of March is Independence Day when I add 6th of March and I take my lead from 6th of March into mid Easter which has Good Friday, Good whatever, Good Friday, Good Sunday, Good Monday and I mix it and I added that 20 days to become 2830 days. Oh I was the main calculation in my head was leave how to go away from this place. The main that was I needed a watch. This is I don't need a watch. I don't. I don't wear a watch because I don't need a time to close. What? I'm happy. I can continue. I don't need to stop anything. Yeah, I don't need to stop anything. I don't. I don't have to close. But in those days, I wanted to know when it was 5:00. I wanted to know when it was 8:00. That's when cover ends. And then emergency duty closes. At what time do we close Emergency? Is it 6:00 or 8:00 in the morning? Then you go to the clinic and he goes. When I go to the clinic, immediately I start to see how many people are there to see how fast it will go today and how many we are who are going to see all these patients so that the whole thing can finish. Oh, I wanted to leave. My favorite comment was I'm off. I thought that this is I'm off and they turn it into my name. Hey, I'm off. You are going there. So one day I realized that why did they say that I'm off? You're going. I realized that no, I shouldn't say I'm off again. So I stopped saying I'm off. That when you find what you have at natural capacity, nobody will be telling you about leave. What is leave? Leave what? Leave God, you are joking. Amen. Stand up and pray right now that God will show you your natural capacity. Stand up and pray that God will show you a natural capacity. The. You may be seated. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
