03.God Requireth That Which Is Past

Welcome to track #3 of God requireth that which is pause. Ecclesiastes chapter 3, verse 15. You don't like Ecclesiastes? Wow, are you enjoying the new stars? Powerful. Now the theme for our camp is in Ecclesiastes chapter 3, verse 15. God requireth that which is past. That's the theme. God requireth that which is past Amen. Is it powerful? God requireth that which is past Ecclesiastes 315 Amen. It says that which have been is now and that which is to be has already been, and God requireth that which is past. Wow, is it deep? Is it too deep? The dart say. It is a dark thing. Somebody was telling me the other day, he was telling me that in one of my books. I mean, I didn't write a lot of things. I just wrote a point and I didn't write more things. It's a dark point. The point which is loaded. You have to think about it, otherwise you will not benefit from it. And that is how the Bible is and the Word of God is. You have to think about it. I once was in South Africa and I went underground in a mind deep, underground, deep, deep, deep down. And when I went down deep underground, I thought to myself, human beings are greedy because there's more spaces here. I thought to myself, human beings are are what? Greedy because what? They have gone so deep you can't believe it all. They can go down to miles. Very, very, very deep. So look for a piece of yellow metal and come and sell it. Next time you go to Johannesburg, make sure you look out. Always sit by the window, OK, and look out of the window. You learn a lot. One of the things you see when you have a landing in Johannesburg is that you see some kind of sort of artificial looking mountains or or hills, like little artificial plateaus. They are all the dust from the ground that has been brought out. Yeah, because Johannesburg was big gold mining city, Yeah, a lot of gold that the British found there. So that is actually where I went underground. I just said no. I mean, they've made roads. If you go to Abuasi, there you go down and there are roads with huge trucks driving underground. I sit there for miles. They are all underground, you know. But it also teaches you one thing, that it is those who go deep who get the gold. If you don't go deep, you wouldn't get the gold of the Word of God. If you just want something on the surface, you are not going to get the riches of the Word of God. That is why meditation is very important because meditation brings out the rich revelations of the Word. So people who just read through, so I've read 3 chapters today, give me somebody who read one line. God required that which is past is enough for you to chew on for four days to understand what is it that God requires from you. All right, now I'm going to share with you, you know, we are not so many. So this is the best forum for you to get secrets. Hallelujah, secrets of the word. Amen. Now. Secrets of the word that you are going to receive alright, are very powerful in this camp meeting. Alright, now the first secrets is right in the vest that you are seeing is that that which has been is now. What does that mean? Listen, people don't know what is happening to them. You understand or you don't understand what I'm saying. Do you understand me? OK, let me show you one more verse before I come to that verse. OK, Ecclesiastes chapter 3, verse 10. I have seen the travail. Now I see this is a book of observations. I have seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised. Annette. Amen. Wow. And I'm going to read it to you from another important version of the B black egg block. But yes to Christopher. Wow, do you have this for me? Ecclesiastes, chapter 3. OK, I'm reading from the Amplified Bible. OK, listen on, try. You know, when I see you people, there's something deep in my soul, in my heart. I feel like apart from everything, I feel compassion because the Bible says the day of your death is better than the day of your birth. You know, it's like when you are in a school and you finish, it's like the last day is better than the first day. Because when you look back at somebody who are now coming to 1st year, wow Charlie, it's not going to be easy for you at all. What? We're not coming to start this thing that we are at the end of. So that's why the Bible says that the day of your death is better than the day of your birth. It's like last day is better than the first day. So at the end, when you look at people struggling, you know, in fact, I remember one time I thought that my mother would be very, she is excited to have our children, you know, coming and going and all that. But at the point I realized that, no, it's like, what? You are struggling. She has already struggled. It's not now that she's coming to struggle again. Yeah, with children that are another group. Hey, start all over again. Also needs freedom. It's. Not easy. OK, now I have seen what is easy. I have seen the what? The travail which? What God has given to whom? To the sons of men that they should be. What exercise in it? If you go to a prison, how many have watched Rambo? Rambo, please, If you watch Rambo Part 2, have you watched Rambo 2? Huh. You don't know which is a Part 2. The main one is the 2, the one that the first story, he's went somewhere, was shooting in the town and blew up the whole town and then he was arrested and sent to prison. And then the Part 2, which is the really exciting one, is the one where he is in prison for what he did in Part 1, you understand? And then they are looking for somebody who can fly a helicopter, who can go to Vietnam and go and take pictures of prisoners and come. And then they, when they went to the computer, his name came up as one of the most qualified. So they came for him in the prison. A very dangerous job that if he's able to do it, then he can be free from the prison. That is how that film starts. So you've not watched it, isn't it better go and watch it so that you can learn a lot of things from that film. Now, when the very beginning of the film, you see the travail that he had been given, like sentenced to prison with hard labor. Now we on Earth, we have been sentenced to hard labor. Yeah. It's not easy at all. So when God told Adam you stay here, have the earth to be difficult. So it takes a lot of effort for the earth to yield something to you. Yeah. So even though it is a great thing to go to medical school, what has not been revealed to you is that really medical school is about 15 years. Yeah, that is why when you finish, you, you, you feel you finish, but you realize that you are still poor. Then you, you now need to go back for another more years. And then you need to now go to another country which respects doctors, you see, and do examinations. Yeah. So it's about 10-15 years of heart labor with a lot of exams. Are you listening to me? Wow. Is it amazing? Yeah. That you wouldn't know. And that's going to be revealed in the next verse I'm about to read. Yeah. Now don't go to the next verse yet. He says. I have seen. So when I saw you, I was I was standing out for some time listening to all your. I heard all the things Iris was talking, Rebecca was talking, all of you were talking. I was listening to Jonathan. I was listening to you. And it is like syllabus that I have seen. You see the travail that God has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. It's like just exercise. So Rambo, at the beginning, when the guy came to the prison, he saw he had his breaking rocks. Everybody there is breaking rocks. That was his punishment exercise. You break this rock and carry it here. You break this rock, carry it up. Up, everything. Yeah. At prison, there are levels. There's solitary confinement. Is the is the black hole. The hole, they call it. There are presents. There's no light. This light is small light like that. You be, you cannot see your hand. Yeah. And you stay there, don't see anybody, don't talk to anybody. Darkness. Yeah. And there are prisons that you, you cannot move. Yes. You cannot sit. You cannot do anything. You can only stand. Yeah. There, there, there. There are levels of the prisons. Now one of the prisons is the hard liver, and what we are experiencing on earth is like a prison on earth with very hard and difficult work that has been given to us. Don't matter the job you choose, whether nursing, whether law, whether medicine, whether pharmacy, whether politics, whether ministry, you will see that you have been given. Yeah. Those, those who are very close to me, they know whether I'm resting. They know, they know, they know more. They know the, the, the, the, the juggling of different things that go on at the same time all the time. Yeah, he said. I've seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men. Yeah, God has given it. It's God who has. Done it, yeah. That's why the story of Adam, you see they were crying. Want to go back to the garden? You, you, you didn't like the card, you believe? Wow. But even I'll read it from the Another says, I've seen the painful labor and exertion and miserable business which God has given to the sons of men with which to exercise and busy themselves. So this, this, this, this scripture is teaching all of us something that there is nothing like an easy road to any destination. Yeah, there's nothing like that on any front. That is why those who do well in school often do well in ministry and those because those who are not used to taking shortcuts, because the ministry also has a lot of hard work. I mean, just to be a Christian is not a small thing. Forget about being a pastor. I mean, just to be a Christian, forget about being a pastor. Just to be a Christian, you will be exercised. You will see that, yes, come for painful accession and busy, busy accession labor, miserable business. Wow, isn't it amazing? Yeah. Now the next verse is the runabout I want you to see. What does it say? He has made everything beautiful in His time, which I don't want you to focus much on because you've heard it before. Now the next part is a very amazing revelation. Also, He has set the world in their hearts so that no man OK can find out. The work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Are you listening? He has set the world. The world where? In their hearts? OK, so the world is in the hearts of men, this world another the word, the one of the meaning of that word is vanishing point. God has put a vanishing point in the hearts of men, like a point which vanishes. Yeah. If we are using is this a strongs with the strongs touch that word the word? What does it say? Read it. No, no, Read it. Yeah. The vanishing point, generally time out of mind. The vanishing point. Something that keeps vanishing as you keep following it. A point that keeps vanishing like this world as you, as you, you think you are reaching. It vanishes. Like you. You just thought you become a doctor. Then it vanishes like the prosperity vanishes and moves to the next place. Yeah, it's like a mirage. As soon as you arrive, it moves. That's why we tell when those of you who are thinking you are going to solve your sexual difficulties with marriage. As soon as you enter, you see that it will move to the next place. But I thought that when I marry all these things will be over. Vanishing point. He has set a vanishing point in the hearts of men, and at an endless point which you never end. And so that, so that what men cannot find out the work which God doeth from the beginning to the end. In other words, most people, he has said the word in there so that no man can find out the word that God maketh from beginning to the end. In other words, people cannot see what God is doing or what is happening. Yes. Most people can't see what's happening in their lives. Yeah, you can't. You can't see. Are you with me? Yeah. Most people can't make make out what is going on. Yeah, because the vanishing point has been set in front of you. So you keep chasing that point. So most of my pastors can't see. That's why actually. Obeying God is very good because when you obey God, even though you can't see and understand what is happening, obeying God keeps delivering you from a certain life and keeps moving you along a certain track. In fact, when I look at my life that I've found, the life I now live by the grace of God is so different from the life I would have been living if I had just followed the vanishing point. And you can. Make out what is happening in this world. Yeah, like if. You take a. Man finds a woman. Most people don't understand what is happening. So we are really in love. We found the love of our lives. Pastor, we are. Really in love I found the man of my dreams. Bishop. This is the most beautiful girl in the world. She has blocked my view. I can't see anybody else. She has blocked. My view. Then. The vanishing Point Then you wonder why your father does not find your mother as the most beautiful woman in the world anymore. And even you. Yourself sometimes wish that your father would have another, nicer woman. To treat. Him more nicely that your mother is treating him. How many sometimes wanted somebody to treat your father more? Raise up your hand. You even look and say. My father is suffering in the house. Wow. Yeah. So people don't. Know when you think that oh, I'm, I'm funny, I'm falling in love. Not knowing that, yeah, it's testosterone. That is working. It's like 20. 3 year old testosterone in the blood, that is what's working. That's. Basically all that. Is working, and then you don't even know that your attraction to the man is actually a punishment which you are fulfilling. Stand up. You do you have a beloved? Yes, I do. You do. Do you think? You are under a punishment. No at. First sight you think it's you know, you know what do you? Think, don't say, don't talk about what people think. Do you think you are being punished by having this wonderful beloved? No are. You excited? About your beloved Yes. Are you? Are you happy? About your beloved, yes, I am. Are you in love with your beloved? I'm in love. Do you see? Do you see any? Do you see? Any cane punishment or whips anywhere when you see your beloved Wow. What? Do you see like a? Future is bright. There's lovely things I. Had there's. Something wonderful. I had something wonderful. I had yeah, wow, is. That not true. So man cannot find out the work that God is making from beginning to the end. Because a vanishing. Point has been put, yeah. When asked. Most of the ladies, including some of the first Life girls who've married from this very church, who came to sit in the front there as beloved when asked them. Yeah, whether? The vanishing point is still there. Wow. Yeah. So man cannot. Find out what is going on. So Solomon is the one who has, which is I have seen. Is I I. I saw and I considered that evil that is happening under the sun. So Solomon is the one who is discovering all these observations. And telling. Us that there is one event and to all like to him that is good, to him that is righteous, to him that is wicked, to him that is clean and unclean, to him that sacrifice, to him that sacrifice not to him that feareth and oath and to him that sweareth, there is there is one event like the same thing happens to all of them. So this is an evil that I've seen another son. And I saw that the. Sons of God themselves might know. The sons of men might know that they themselves are beasts. That which? We followed beasts, we followed men, and I saw that we were just animals. You can understand. Yourself better if you realize how much of an animal you are, yeah. These are all. Observations There's a time for this, there's a time for this, there's a time for this many, many, many observations you see. So at this time we are just looking at one of these observations, like looking at this, wow. I've seen the travel which God has given to the sons of men that they should be exercised in it. And then he goes on and he says that's which has been. Is that which is. Now, and that which shall be. Has already been the future. Has already. Happened. And God. Requires that which is past is that what God expects of you is to do something that has already been done. Yeah, that. Which is past what God expects of you. Sit down. My dear Sally. Continue to. Enjoy you for. There are many. Many, many dark and evil days. So as you are. Seeing the brightness and the lure, enjoy it. There is nothing better for a man than he should eat and drink and rejoice in his works, and enjoy the good of his labor, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. Yeah, because who knows what shall be after him? A. Man that has. Not labored shall come and exercise authority over his works. Yeah, you may have a wife or a husband. Another person will come and exercise authority over your your beloved or your husband. A person who has you have loved. And proposed to. Or received a proposal from you have made captains in your house, another person will be drawing them. Yeah, another person. Whom you are considering as a rival drawing the captains. Good. Morning. That's why I said there. Is nothing better than to eat to. Drink and three. Things to rejoice in your works. Like what you are doing? Be happy in it. Yeah, to be. Happy in the work you are doing? Yeah, in the. Work you are. Doing that, you are not happy. It's not a. Good work. Yeah, try to do something that you can rejoice whilst you are doing it, OK, You are happy. There is mention. In the church, tell somebody, mention, mention. And to enjoy. The good of your labor and to make your soul enjoy good in your labor like make yourself happy. Make yourself happy. In your hard work, that's we are working for God, we make our souls happy, yeah. Maybe have what? I'm doing. I enjoy it too. Crap. I enjoy the work. Yeah, if you tell me that I'm on leave. I'm on holiday now. I'm sad. Yeah, actually I'm on. Leave now. Is it fantastic? Yeah. That's why I said. Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the certain type of days. Come. Oh, now let. US impossible. OK, in your case it will not be so. OK, so now. At this camp, I want you to know that that which has been, what does it say has that, that, that. Which has been. Is now. In other words, what is happening now has been already, and that which is to be. Has. Already been. So we are. Always living out. Things. That are past. Do you understand so today? Is coming out of the past, and tomorrow is also from the past. And actually, God requires what is from the past. Yeah. So. If you are going to do well, OK, you must. Set yourself. To do things that have already been done, yeah, and do them very well and know a lot about the past, yeah, God requires that which is past. Amen. So as a good Christian should always be reading a biography a. Biography is a. Story of somebody's life. A biography is a very important Christian type of book. Like Rebecca said, she was reading Kathryn Kuhlman and finding other things. Isn't it to admire? Yeah, because you can admire women of the Lord. So that which is to be has already been. So the women of God who are going to come have already been in the past. Yeah, and and so you are. Not really going to manifest something new.
