Welcome to track #3 of Awake O Sleeper. Now I want one person to volunteer to come and sleep here for us. Shall I choose you or you volunteer? I shouldn't choose you, Lisa. OK. Yeah. No, you are. You are too young. You want to sleep here? Yeah. Are you tall enough? OK. Just relax. Wow. See. close your eyes. You are not supposed to see when you are sleeping. Wow. Look at all of us sitting. Look at what he's doing. Huh. He's snoring. OK, Sit up, brother. Sit up. Sit awake. OK, Sit down. Face us for some time. OK, take your Bible. Then take your Bible. This is your chair. I'm giving you a new chair. Is this give more? OK, give more, more sleep. So just sit here for a minute. Amen. Now when you are sleeping, you don't see #2 when you sleep, you don't move. You don't move. Is it not true? Yeah. Acts chapter 17, verse 28. For in him we live and move, and have our being, as certain also of your own poet has said, For we are also his offspring. Amen. Now Christians who are awake move. I mean, it's just common sense. You move, you're all moving. I'm moving, you are moving. Every few minutes you move. Always there's movement. It's the time that you are awake. And when you are not sleeping, when you are sleeping, you lie still. That's why it's called dead. Arise from the dead. O sleeper, it's time to get up, sleep up. So when there is life in you and you are awake spiritually, there is movement. Now what kind of movement is there? Number one, you move when the Father draws you. John 644 No one can come to me except the Father, which has sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. Amen. There is a lot of movement when you are awake. You will be drawn into things. You'll be drawn into things and you move when the Father draws you. Everybody say draw. Say draw. Draw. Amen. Yeah, draw. Look, if you're alive, you always sense drawing to something now. Always. It's always happening. You are drawn to people. You like certain people. It's not natural to be liked. Any time somebody likes you, respect it. If you if you don't respect it, you will lose something valuable and you will find as you go along a line that few people really like you. As you go through life, you'll find out for yourself. You don't have to live too long. Like my little girls from PE when I first saw you dancing. Where's Yandelwa? She's at the back somewhere. Sinoclo and the others, The Namkita, you'll find out that, Lisa, you'll find out that when somebody likes you respected because you're going to find soon that few people like you. This, this is the wild part of it all. As you go along, you find very few people like you, and they get fewer as you get older. And God draws people. When I say draw, I mean a gentle sort of keep moving in a particular direction. I'm not talking about last. No, last. Last is not. Don't don't worry about last because you're always concerned about last, alright? What happened is that you are missing on great things. When I saw my little idol in school, she sang. Come say what you sang when she sang. Yes, she just sang that song. I said, oh, what a what a singer. What a beautiful little Skippy little girl. You know, I don't know how old she was, 19 or how old were you? 19, Teenager. Yeah. Today she's married. She has two children. She's a mother. Yeah. Hey. Ah, come, my dear. Oh brother, I've got a nice pillow for you here to help you to sleep. Wow. And then lie down. Lie down. Hey, is he enjoying? He's enjoined by his losing. Hey, hey, camp. Look at what he's doing. Things are happening short time. You see, this camp is just today. Tomorrow is finished, so he's slipping away the short period and that's what people are doing in your life, short life. He slipped it off, sleeping it off. I just want to calm down, close my eyes. No vision, no vision for this, No vision for, no vision for and no movement. Look at this, no movement activities are going on. You are just lying down, no movement. Learn to follow the drawings to people above you, below you at your level. Learn to follow it. And I, and I mean, I don't mean last. No, you can like people. You can be drawn to people without lasting after them. Last is not the only thing in the world. Yeah, and that thing is the probably the most important thing. You must know how you see some of you are drawn to me. It's something God made because a lot, a lot of people who find me stupid define me as nonsense. They don't like my my message. One day somebody took one of my books and started and put it on the floor and started jumping on it. And he said this book is nonsense. This book is nonsense. He was jumping on loyalty and disloyalty. Yeah, he was jumping on it like this, a grown up. And another pastor took my book and threw it on the floor and said this is rubbish. And the pastor of these two pastors told me, he said all of these people, all of them left his chest at the point because that's why they find it rubbish. Yeah, because when I preach up, I see they see that they are the ones in the book. That's why you jump on it. Look at my brother. He's actually sleepy. You know, just two days, losing every opportunity, everything. So brother you, if God is drawing you and you are awake, then you come. Do you hear me? Come, You come, you come, you come, you come. Why do you stop coming? Come, come, come, draw. Huh? Once people have been drunk, this guy is sleeping. I'm drawing on we can't see, we can't see. He can't see, so he can't move. It is time to wake sleeping brother. Come. On It is time to wait sleeping brother from the sea. And right time it is time to wait. Sleeping brother from your sea. Whoa, turn from all. We turn from all that way, right? Shall we be alive? Oh, sleep I from the sea rise I think, I don't believe. I from the bleeding and rise. I'll keep in light. Come on, brother. Really different. You didn't used to listen, you didn't used to have any dreams, visions, no movements. When you are being drawn, just say get away, you don't respond. But now, now, now salvation has come, ministry has come. Working for God has come for you in Jesus name. Yeah. All Christians who do nothing, they are sleeping. You may say you are in a good church, but you are sleeping. Don't move, you don't do anything. You are sleeping, but you are in a good church. You really responded to the message to wake up. Yeah, I think it was. Don't you think it was the way he just came to life. Hey brother, it's your time to sleep. You sleep instead of playing the drums. Instead of playing the drums. A drummer. He's been active for a while. Help put him to sleep since your experience is sleeping. Somebody who was so productive, sometimes they even become appointed as pastors. This happening to a lot of pastors too. That's one of the reasons why I say I don't want pastors to be here. You just come. I'll talk to you. Between me and you secrets. Now this was happened. Look at he was used to help. He used to help. And some of them we are so sad that they are no more helping because their absence, even we we feel it because they were so active. We're singing, sing. It's time to wake. It is time to wake. It is time to wait. Sleep. Sleeping brother from your sleep. Deeply, deeply. And I shall give thee life. Oh. You must know the time, Oh, Sleeper, it is high time to wake out of sleep. Salvation is nearer than when we burst sleep. Cast off all the words of die left away. Hold sleep high from your sleep. This is what's happened to a lot of pastors. They were awake playing drums and now they are sleeping. The Bible says do not follow that, which is evil. Yeah, If even a senior prophet, if I'm doing something that is not in the Bible, don't follow me. Yeah, don't follow me. Follow God if I do something that is not in the Bible, don't follow it because I'm not God. I'm not God and it preach nicely and everything but look at me carefully. My name is he what knows, not that God that he what knows are you? God drank with wine. Money has influenced him. The wine, spiritual wine, money, cars have put him to sleep. Earthly ambitions have put him. A person who was active has put him to sleep. I am drawing him. He doesn't want to get up politics. He wants to stay in a particular area in Pretoria, in in Johannesburg. He wants to beat this, he wants to beat that. Look at put your spiritual whatever to sleep. Look at it. If I'm God, I'll say I'm going to take a knife and I will let some blood flow now, precious. That's why some of the troubles come press somewhere. Oh God, why do you allow this to happen to be why me? Because you were asleep. I was calling you. I was singing to you. It is high time. It is high time to wake and call you. You don't listen. Something else. A knife will wake you up. Are you listening to me? Shall we give up on him? Some three demons should come and wake him up. Some three demons, so the dog say give no place in the devil, he's giving place. Can I have something anymore fomenting now Waking up 66 demons shoot. Some female demons. Some female demons shoot. Get Get back to your job. Your what? You vacillated. You vacillate from movement. Sit down. So I want you to respect being drawn. Listen, everybody say after me, not many people will like me. So when somebody likes me, I will respect it. Yeah. I've also learned that myself in the ministry. I've learned not many people. When somebody likes me, somebody's attracted to me. I respect it very much. But I've come to see not everybody. God selects people, touches their hearts, then you, you, you like that. It's like that. I've learnt to respect it. Yeah. You know, I've been in the ministry all this time and many, many places have not, never invited me, never been attracted to me, especially in America. And I've I've learned a lot of things that I've not touched their hearts to be interested in what you are doing. And I think it's even, it's even a protection. Yeah, so and I've learned, look, respect it. Respect it. So ask you are in the church. Maybe your pastor takes an interest in you or you sense God is drawing you. God is drawing you to a particular message. He draws you to even when you like a particular tape, you like a particular book, respect it because you will find out that as you go, you see so many books, you can't read them, so many tapes you can't listen. So many pastors, you can't understand what they are saying. So many churches they find us. I'm attracted to this church and I feel a draw is called drawing. The teacher said no man can come to me except the Father. That's why each person who came to you respected the person. You couldn't have come unless God drew you. So all of you guys who are pastors and you thought yourself being drawn, you may not know that you are being drawn. No, there are people just like you. They have no, they look at me and say oh Ducky, what Mills you know it's not ducky. What the whole that guy that have cast boy in Kenya, they call my color .5. I'm .5 in Kenya. I found out last year. They come there. I'm Pointee. Another one is Pointee. What do you call it here, Khaled? That's all. You don't have any other name for Carla, huh? Fair. Itaya. Is that what you call me? Itaya? Amen. So respect the drawings of the law. Respect the drawings of the law. That's how I have many of the great people that I have that work and I've learned as time is going back. So I want this person. I want this person. I want more people to work and I don't get more people. So every single person that I lose is to me such a difficulty. A couple of days ago, one of our pastors who left and then I got a message that he said that he wants to come back. So I and, and, and then so not really left, but sort of as if he was going to the outside of the door. So I was going to sleep in the night, you know. Then as I lay in the bed, I was seeing something very good has happened. I don't know what I was trying to think because I have been preaching doing this or something extremely, something extremely good has happened and I was can happen and I couldn't think. I couldn't remember. I couldn't scan. Then I scan and I remembered this call that I'd had and I realized how important it was. You've got just one person who God touches to be you because as you go through your life, there are not many. I'm telling you, you watch. I see there are not many. And that's my sisters. When you see a real brother who is of a certain kind and he loves you not that he wants to sleep you. If he loves you, he will not want to sleep with you. If he loves you, he will not want to. Sleeping is not love, for this is God so loved the world. He said God so had sex with the world. No, he said, God so love the world. God so love the world. God so love the world that he gave his only Son, that whosoever you love somebody, you not want to sleep with a present. Amen. That he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Yeah. When you love somebody, it's not sex. If you love, if you're a woman you love me, you will not want to sleep with me. No, no, no, no. Even if I want to sleep with you, you will not allow me to sleep if you love me. Because you say that if I sleep with that, I'm spoiling his ministry. I'm spoiling that means I hate him. When you sleep with a pastor or sleep with a man of God or sleep with you hate the person to the uttermost, uttermost wicked person in the person's life, you are. You are Jezebel. But she what? Delilah. So move. Wow, sing another. One redeem the time for the day our evil, with war being done on white and the pan, the will of the Lord being not drunk with the wine away. Drunk with wine. Oh, Sleeper drunk. From the sea. The next one you must move by going deeper in the river. Yeah, move when the father draws you move by going deeper in the river. When the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward in Ezekiel 47, he measured 1000 cubits and he brought me through the waters and the waters were through to the ankles. Again he measured 1000, brought me to the waters, the waters to the knees. And again he measured 1000 and he brought me through and the waters went to the loins. So in Ezekiel 47 you see that God moves you deeper in the water. So everybody, God is moving you deeper and not backwards, shallow into the waters. So you must become more spiritual. I think I've become more spiritual as the years have gone by. That's what I think. I hope so. Hey, man, I really hope I've become more spiritual. More spiritual. You must get deeper in the spirit, deeper, Wilder. Recently somebody who was in our church went to America and came back after about nine years. And when she came back to the church, she said she does not feel comfortable in our church anymore. So I had a meeting with her. She said and this somebody who should actually be packed. And I said what? What is wrong? She said. I think Lighthouse has become more radicalized since the time that I left. More radical, Yeah. And the fact I've been in another nice church in America, not Lighthouse, another nice church, for nine years and came back. He said that she said to me, I think you have become more radicalized. Yeah. What do you expect? We are supposed to get deeper and Wilder. And not that as I get older, I'm getting less shallower, shallow, into the water. Shallow. No, we are supposed to get more radical. Yeah, That's why today I'm going for crusades. I'm going to Muslim areas. I'm going to places that people are afraid of by myself. I'm afraid, but I'm going there because when you are afraid of something, that's the thing you have to do. Yeah. More radicalized. I told our pastor who went to, who went to Congo, he's got back to Congo. I said, look, because one of our pastors died in Congo. The first missionary who died on the field, he was sleeping in his bed and the whole house collapsed on him. Have you heard of such a thing before? Yeah, just dying in his bed. The next moment he was in heaven. And I told him, I said this mission Congo is a mission that we are paying for with blacks. It's not a small mission. We pay for it with blood. We honored him in the Kodesh. Listen to me, my friend. As we grow older, you see God will be drawing you doesn't draw you out of the waters. He draws you deeper, deeper. Everything you believe, believe it Wilder. I believe God more. I want to reach out more. I want to die for God more. I want to preach more as you see me now getting I started preaching. I was 25 years old. I was preaching to younger 25I became a pastor. I believe it more more I believe in giving everything more than ever before. As you see me here see my children, I give my children to God. I didn't. I didn't even care about whether they go to school. I wanted them to go to school, but the school was not important that they should. I didn't even want to have children in case they would not know the Lord. Yeah, I said I don't want to give birth to somebody who not will go to hell. My ideas are more radical now. I believe it more. More he said dry, he said come deeper. Then he takes his head, come and if you are awake, you see that you are going deeper, not going to sleep. So you are a pastor and then now rather you, you, you. It's rather the vision of eternity has rather gone out of you. I would prefer you to start shallow and maybe you are not a shepherd, you are not anything, but as time is going, you are getting deeper. It always reminds me of one of our pastors in Jamaica, Pastor David, when he was in university, he was not an elder even when he finished school. Then he said he wanted to be the missionary and started going deeper. And rather, he's not doing very well over there in Jamaica. Yeah, we are becoming more radicalized because if God is calling you and God is working and you are awake, you'll be moving. And which direction do you think you'll be moving? If God, you'll be moving deeper from lay. When when I lay a shepherd, you become a lay pastor. When you become a lay pastor, you get, you go deeper. You don't go backwards. You don't you don't stop like freeze a lot of laypars when they get to the point when they see the reality of what is ministry, then they're free. They stop there. Yeah, yeah. Radicalizing, radicalizing, radicalizing. Young man, Young man, how many of you were Wilding to sex brothers raising, raising of your hands. Now how many of you have reduced your radical sexual lives? Raise your hand, you've reduced it. I reduce. Now that is that in itself is an achievement. As you keep reducing, now we are going deeper. It's not just it's just all I used to sleep with everybody. Now I don't sleep with every good, good idea. It's a good thing that there is more than just not sleeping with a girl. It's not an achievement. This is good. It's something, but it's not much. So now that you've come to a normal Ground Zero, what else is there? There's even deeper. While you don't have thoughts, the Bible says hating even the garment that is spotted by the flesh, not that you even committed. It's that the sporting of the of the garments, the outside of you. What? You're not even you. You're outside that you hate it. Yeah. How many of you were into pornography? Look, if you don't raise your hand properly in this camp, I'm going to, I'm going to close early, answer my questions properly. You are, you are. You see, you are already conscious of yourself. Where did you learn that thing from? How many of you you know about pornography? There are levels. How many were into levels? How many have stopped? So it's an achievement. Is that all you are going to say? Lord, thank you for bringing me to heaven. I'll stop pornography. This is not an achievement. It's just a basic. Pornography is a sickness. It's one of the sicknesses in the world, but it's a blessing. When you stop it, you can stop it. Masturbation. How many were super masturbators? You won't mind me. I say how many? How many? Yeah. And then you stop it. You stop the masturbation. It's also an achievement, but it's not much. We have deeper, the deeper, deeper levels. Something is happening down there. Are you there? Then there is going further. Some of you. Fornication was something daily. Weekly, isn't it? Then it became weekly, then it became monthly, then it became yearly at Christmas time. But now it's been five years. Yeah, you are getting the But there's more than that. There's more than that. Some of you have pastors. You preach, you teach, but you never have visions, visions that are true. I so long to have a vision that will happen, you know? Yeah, I always want to have vision that as happy that that comes to pass. It's something I'm looking for. I want to go deeper. And one of the things I'm I'm expecting very soon is to go to heaven to see Jesus. So I'll see him. I'll discuss something. I'll come back. When I come, I'll tell you. One day I had a vision. Yeah, in the vision, somebody came to save me something. And the thing that the person saved me was made-up of Loftus with the shells. So when the person said I don't like, I don't like these cells. Then after that the person took it away and brought another one. This time it was shrimps, I said. And that one with the shell was I said I don't like such, I don't like such thing. Then after that the person took it away and brought me a fish that was boiled with the skin around it, the black skin very soft. I said I don't like this one too. And I got up and that vision happened. Exactly. Oh yeah, no, not exactly. Exactly. Exactly what I mean means what I'm saying exactly. So I'm so excited. Say, Lord blessing me with visions, but you see fishing on shrimps in lot, space fish, how many want to see some angels? It's a good beginning. It's not bad for a vision, but there are higher levels. But he said that I saw an Angel. Yeah, that I've moved on beyond this lobsters, fish, seafood vision. But you see, it happened. That vision happened. It happened. But there is more. There is always something deeper and something higher, like Jones and the Bible says. And this vision was sent to John and signified to John by his Angel. Wow. I want an Angel to be sent one day. I traveled to a certain country and I woke up early in the morning. It was cold like this. I was staying in somebody's house. When I woke up, I immediately knew there was an Angel in my room. Oh yeah, there was. And the Angel was standing at the foot of my bed. And the Lord sent me a message through that Angel and told me something to do which I cannot tell you, and told me don't do this again. Told me something I shouldn't do a good thing. It was a good thing he said. I shouldn't do that good thing again. Yeah. The Angel came all the way there. Now, Can you believe that? I never saw the Angel with my eyes, but I knew that the Angel was there. I don't know how, but I knew there was a being an Angel there. Is it not powerful? How many would like to have the vision where you actually see the Angel? Yeah, you certainly see the Angel. If possible, shake hands with the Angel and see him disappear. Yeah. This was a vision sent to John through his Angel. The lost sentence signified it through his Angel. So as you are awake, if I am awake in the ministry, I will keep moving from shrimps and lobsters to angels I cannot see, and to angels I can see, to Jesus I can see. Oh Jesus, Jesus, to heaven and back. Amen. How many want to go deeper? Draw me deeper, Lord, deeper into your word of truth. Draw me deeper the deeper to the place where you are for me. Drop it deeper. And here that I may know your mouth. Sinno your mouth. Sinno #3 move by going around and doing good and healing. Somebody has to tell me when it's time for breakfast. How many minutes do I have? 45 minutes to breakfast time. OK, alright. You have coffee here. Do you serve coffee? Have you all had some coffee? You have coffee machine outside for everybody to drink coffee. Oh, coffee is available outside. OK, so there's coffee everybody. You drink coffee till we finish from now to tomorrow. 2 gallons each and then we go OK, yeah, we are going deeper. Shabaya. Listen, I'm talking about moving. If you are awake, what will you do? Move. Move awake. O sleeper. Now it says move by going around doing good and healing, travel around doing good and healing. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good, healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him. He went about doing good, went about doing good. What about doing good when you are alive, when you are awake, huh. You go around doing good. So when you see. So that's why one of your first trainees come to PE for a camp. How many are not from PE? Almost everybody here is not from PE. You're not from you're not from Port Elizabeth. If you cannot come for a camp, do you think you can go around to do good? Cannot come for a camp? That's why sometimes we do these things. Come here for a camp just to see whether you come. You see those who will camp. That alone eliminates some people. It filters out the whole group. Yeah, it filters the people out. So come here. We're going to have a camp over here. And we see. Because if I have the camp in Pretoria, I have a lot of Pretorians who may be fast asleep or half asleep. That's OK. Come here if you are serious. You sit on a bus and camp? Yeah. How many hours? 16 hours. Yeah, no problem. Why not? If you had some wild boyfriends and you see that you'll be going all over the place just for an ejaculation, You don't understand what I'm talking about. For ejaculation, 16 hours for 5 minutes and you come 16 hours here for hours and hours of camp. Which one is better? Yeah, so he went about doing good to do the ministry and to work for the Lord. You always, it always involves moving around because I want to do good in Ghana, but you are not in Ghana. I have to move. If I want to do good, I have to move. Good doing involves moving. Doing good always involves moving. Jesus went about move. So once you are asleep, you cannot move and will not move and will not do good. This is what has killed the church. Some years ago you will find American missionaries who have moved out of America. Yeah, they come to live. But today they don't easily move out of their camp. It's not safe for them. They'll ask you, is this safe? Is it safe? I cannot move. Yeah. So you find very few people like Reinhard Bonke. The move is the move from Germany from the safety of his life. He should have retired when he was 62 or 65. But he's now 72 years and he's moving into Nigeria, deeper into Islamic areas that all of us having glass crusade because truly a minister who is awake will always have to go about doing good because the people that you need to do good for are not in one place and will not even receive you there. You need to go around. That's why you would need to come some of you to Ghana. You need to say look, here I am, let's train me, here I am, let me go with you. Let me do this. Let me let. That's why I came with, I came with so many pastors because you, you going around you, you let so many things that you don't learn by staying in one room. I'm telling you, yes, you learn it by going around. So you see people who don't move, say come for homecoming, come for homecoming, just come. You can't come, come to ISR. You cannot come, come to this. You cannot come. So much good is done by going, going, going about, going about, going about, going about. That's why your life doesn't change, because you're not not prepared to go about true. So I'm telling you, if you are awake, even me, if as a Bishop, when I start to sleep in the ministry, I will stop moving around. Yeah, I will not be here. Ho. I'm already successful where I'm coming from. So successful, you can't even believe it. I'm so successful where I have a car with an air conditioned car and have ACD player in my car when I have power windows in my car. Can you believe it? No, I don't roll in my window anymore. Chauffeur driven. You know where I heard this expression? I heard it from Yongichu. He was preaching long and he said I have 100,000 members in my church. I was a successful pastor or he had 50,000, whatever. A successful person with a chauffeur driven car. I heard that expression from him that he had a vision to have a bigger ministry or he said I was already successful with his chauffeur driven car. When I heard chauffeur driven, has chauffeur driven. He needs a car that somebody's driving with. It's a sign that you have to arrive. Yeah. I heard young pictures that he was talking about how a vision will make you. Yeah. He said he had everything. Yeah. And he went with his wife to Japan for a holiday and he was going shopping. His wife said, right, so let's go for a holiday. And his wife says no, when we go for a holiday, you have a new idea. So once he was in Japan and he was on the holiday, the vision came as he wants to have 500,000 members, his wife said. Aha. Another vision has come and it makes you move. It causes you to move. Amen. Something deeper, something more, something higher. Yeah. I will never come here. But, Elizabeth, why? If I was to come here, then maybe for the sea to see the sharks or to walk by the sea. These are the things I like. But not for a camp. What am I coming to do here? Amen. I'll go somewhere else. What do I have to come here? But when I'm awake in the ministry, I say no, there are people in South Africa. I have to go there. The reason why I cannot have a camp in in here and another one in Zimbabwe is even the time that all my, what do you call it, is blocked. I cannot, Oh, yeah, I cannot. Not even started having crusades this day. We're just starting. We've not had a single crusade. Yeah, there's just no time. And I just thought that the Lord was drawing me to South Africa to have a it was last year, I think there was no camp. Yeah, I didn't have a camp there last. Yeah. Amen. So if you are awake, you find yourself moving. Bishop Dad knows when you sleep, you stop moving. When I when I die. When I die, they put me in a box. I told them how the box I showed them should go to one of the building sites, take one of the wood, the woods there, knock it, go and throw it. Throw me away somewhere. Calvin said when he was dead, nobody should know where he's buried. And Margrave. He was buried. And Margrave. Yeah. So Wesley gave 1 LB to everybody who carried his coffin. For he said 6 poor men should carry his coffin when he dies. Yeah. And then you go in and you don't move again. And this, you have slept forever. This is what it means to be escaped. If you don't move again, you don't speak again, you don't do anything again. And some of you have not yet even entered that box. You don't move again. You don't talk again. In fact, you have never talked before. You never move, never anything, even the way you shouted. 16 hours, 16 hours, 16 hours, 16 hours with trophies, 16 hours. You've never moved before. That's why I said, do you know how many hours I travel for crusade when I'm going? I went for a crusade. I left at 6:00 AM to the north of Ghana and I arrived at 7:00 AM the next day driving. When we got to a place, there was a flat, so we had to come back in a bus. Also in a bus. Yeah, not a private. And when we go for Crusade, there's not, there's nothing like toilet on the way. There's no McDonald's. There's nothing. The toilet is the forest. Yeah. You go to the forest just like any of the the leopards or any of the other animals there. Yeah. Look at a Bishop man like me. I'm in the forest. Oh, is it nice, But what would you do? This is not to move. And you even learnt to enjoy it. Fresh air, the fresh air. Yeah. When you sleep, Bishop Dag, he would melt. You will no more sit in cars. You'll be going all the way here, all the way there. Bishop Dag, when you sleep, you'll no more sit in a bus to go all the way here and all the way here. When you sleep, you will no longer go all the way here. To do good and to heal. Yeah. So if you are awake, then it's a sign you've got to move all the way here and all the way there. You 2, you have to move. Some of you have to move all the way to Ghana, all the way here, all the way here. You have to pay the price. You have to pay the price, whatever the price is. You think it's just so easy for me to come here? It's not easy. When I was coming, my little baby daughter was at home. She was crying. She was crying, crying, crying. She didn't say that you don't go because she knew I would go anyway. And she was crying. And I was, I was upset. I was disturbed because not easy to leave your children when they are crying. You feel so sorry for them. And sometimes you think, what about you don't come back. Yeah. When I was getting on board the plane, I saw what they call the speed, the speed sensors on the plane, you know, you see it outside the plane. That is why Air France, you know, or some of those today, The thing is not working. It tells you you are going slow. So you increase the speed and it goes so far the plane just explodes. Yeah, I've seen watch all these air crash disaster and watch them and watch them and watch them all lose. I don't know why I didn't watch it. As you sit on the plane, you see by plane, I know that when I'm asleep, I wouldn't even have to exercise space to go. When you are when, when, when you are alive, you will move. You will move. Remember, remember, it's the privilege of being awake. It's movement. So don't complain. 16 hours, 16 hours. It's so hot here. It's so cold here. It's not hot. It's not cold. It's that. It's a blessing. Your spouse. That's why it's too hot. It's too cold. It's too this. It's too that. Your sport. Little children. That's why you talk like that. It's too hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's too cold. It's too hot. It's too long. No toilet. Where I where I go for cruise, there's no toilet. I will show you how to go to toilet in the forest. You want to sit on a toilet, There's nothing to sit. Even the one that is there to sit on. When you see it, you will say no, no, no, no. When I sit, I will get rashes. I cannot sit there again. How many are going to go about doing good? Alright. How many that you don't have to complain about going around? Yeah. Don't complain again. I thank God for, you know, our brothers who've been to Ghana, live there. Who are those of you who've been? They know. They know Complain. They are now international guys. Yeah, I know. International guys and their wives. Yeah, they're international, you know, You know heat, don't you? Hot, Cold, running water. No running water. You know all, isn't it? No electricity, salting water, light on, light off, dust. You know everything. Hamatan, you are international and some of you don't know all that. You know what you are seeing here. This is Europe. If you don't know, it's the white man's creation. Yes. There's no McDonald's. There's nothing like McDonald's. KFC, KFC. What are you talking about? But Doctor Bow, you know, you know, there are WADA realms. You see, we have K, you have KFC. We don't have KFC, but we have other. They have. But there are places. They have monkeys. Fried monkeys. Yeah. In Congo. Yeah. Congo, Southern Africa. Yeah. They eat all the wild animals. Yeah, monkeys. I've seen somebody with slicing the monkey. Yeah. You like yours, isn't it? That's so bad. Yeah, all the animals, they eat them. So. Thank God. Yeah. So only these few people. You see more. More of you. More of you going to give yourself to him and be able to move around. It's a sign that you are awake. You recognize the life that is in you in Jesus name, Amen. And finally, finally missionary when you are awake, when you are awake, you move by going on missionary journeys. Amen. Isn't it? What do you think? 2nd Corinthians Chapter 11, verse 26? It says in Jennings, often Amen, in Jennings often in perils of what is perils of robbers, perils by my own countrymen, in perils of the wilderness, in perils of the sea. In perils among false brethren, this is Christianity. Amen everybody. Have you found Second Corinthians 11/26? Settle those 3 words in Jennings often if you are awake. What will you have missionary Chinese when you are dead? When you are sleeping, there will be no more journeys. Do you think you will have a journey when you are awake? When you are sleeping 16 hours? No. How many want to be awake and journey for Jesus? It says in Jennings. Offend, offend. Every time I go somewhere I go into a hotel. Make a way for me here, OK? Not too much, not too much. Every time I go somewhere and I, I stay there, huh? I feel so blessed because I realized that if it was not for God, I would never go and send in Janice. I would never, I would never know Port Elizabeth. Christ has made the New Port Elizabeth. I've been to so many places because of God. If I had not known the Lord, I would be stuck in Ghana and I'll only read about South Africa in the newspapers about Nelson Mandela has been released. These are the two things I know he has been released and the World Cup and the what Big 5, the elephant and so on. Yeah, that's all I'll know. But now I've been here, I've been to Devon, I've been to Cape Town, to Elizabeth. I used to read about them. You mean. But now journeys. I'm making journeys. You are also have journeys in your womb of your life. There's journeys and travels for you. Movement that shows that you are. As soon as you sleep, you lie down. That's finished. I'm missionary journeys. I want to send some S Africans outside South Africa. Yeah, some of you. I want you to come and work in my office. Come, come. I want to be with you. You see when when you when you come and stay with us, you become so much a part of the family. You become closer. You learn things you never have known. We even see your gifts in what you don't what you cannot do and what you can do, you will. You will never know. There's a company called what you may never know Limited. Yeah. It's it's so beautiful as you keep moving around for the Lord. Moving around for the Lord. Rather some of you. I see. I see you holding. There was somebody I saw you. I saw you holding a briefcase. You know, moving into a hotel. You are coming out. It's not a business. It is ministry. You're going in and out. I see you going in and out. Wow. Yeah, it's your future. I came to, professor, about your future. Your life is going to and fro, up and down for Jesus because not because of anything, but because you say outside awake, I want to be awake. I want to move. And these are the movements that we have in God. We have movement, drawing, going about, doing good, going on missionary journeys, moving deeper, deeper into the waters. All these are as soon as you are awake. These are the kind of these are the four types of movements. You are drawn deeper, you are drawn deeper into God through the waters. You go about, you move around doing good things, preaching, you go on journeys, missionary journeys, you travel around working for Jesus. Yes, ladies, listen to me. You are called to be honorable people. Yes, Are not called to be somebody's waistband depositing sperms. All different types of sperms, different types of people every time. People who don't love you, sleeping with you, always making you cheaper and cheaper, turning you into the lowest type of human being, making you just like a goat or a rabbit or some other animal that has no permanent partner. Are you, are you, are you wildlife? Are you, are you an animal goddess? And you are an honorable person? Yes, this is God's calling for you and God is going to bless you greatly. So it's time to wake, it's time to move, it's time to move around. It's time to make your first journey. There is a first journey and there's always a last journey. Did you know that when Pastor Evans died in Congo and he was brought to Ghana, I thought about it. This is his last journey. He was flown, his body was flown back to Ghana and transported back to Kumasi where he his family wanted. That was his last journey. So there's a first journey. Some of you, the first journey is usually like this is a journey which you've come to the camp. How many realized this is the first time you've traveled for a Camp 16? 16 Amen. OK, now not only must you move when you are awake, but you move with urgency. Give more on the bed. How many of you, when you woke up this morning, realized you were late? Hey, either I think he needs he needs to sing it to him. It's time to wait. Yeah. Some of most of us or some of you today. I don't know whether it's most or some. Did they math? Did they have time or not? It is time. It is time to wait. How many realize that when you realize something, you get up immediately. You have to start moving around because I'll tell you, most of you, when you wake up, you realize that you are almost late. Oh, yeah. In your life, you realize that look, you are quite late. Yeah. Late at your age. When you look at your age, in your time, you realize that you are late. Yeah, First, Annie, I'm sure when you woke up you realize that you were late. I charged out. I charged out of the room, went straight to his place, knocked the door. There was no response. Is it gone or is it now? I'm sure when you work spiritually that you have to work, work for God from the gold mines that you are working on. I had grown and I have not come. So I came with agency. I mean, like when the door was as if the door was being open, I just went through and found myself on this side. Yeah. By the time he woke up, he was a manager of a gold mine. And the time he woke up and he looked around, they say look at the time, it's high time, high time. And look at me, I'm managing what gold mine When there's bits of gold there, you are managing gold here. It's high time. You must know the time. It is high time to wake out of sleep, for salvation is near right that when we were to leap out of all words unto die left away to old sleep. Time from the sea and cry shall give me light. By the time Pastor NIA Jedu woke up, you were in your 40's. The time you realized that I'm soon going to go to heaven. You are 45 years old. Can you imagine what you would have done from 20 when you were 20 years old or 25 to 4520 years I've gone by and you realize that 45 gone, huh? It's high time and it's it's past time. So there are a lot of things you cannot do at a certain age. Yeah, One day a second brother was involved in starting a church, and the church became big. And after some time there was a big problem in the church and he had to leave the church. When he left the church, he said, I'm going to start a church, just as I did when I was a younger man. So he moved into town. Hey, he rented a hall and he started this is my new church and he gave the church a very nice name. In fact, I'm really jealous of the nice name that he gave me, the beautiful name. And as he pastored the church one year, 2 years, three years, four years, one day I was in the area. I decided to go and see the church that this older brother has started. So when I entered the corridor, I was looking where the hall was. Then I saw the banner and I realized that the church was the corridor. The church was that corridor like this. The corridor was from here to here like this. I said wow. I realized that his check planting was not easy, but even though it had worked earlier, now at his age it was not working that same way because to work for God you really need energy and youthfulness also. Then I met him later on and he told me. He said, you know, I am an I am a writer. I'm not a pastor, I'm a writer. Yeah, you say I'm a writer. You say a writer. You see, now he had to change his calling from pasting to writing. I writer because it's not working. So sometimes you'll be surprised you think that you know, I can do everything all the time. This is the best time to start. Start, start, start, start now. God is now. See, when we are young, we are always because of our sexual feelings and all these things, but don't, don't be afraid of it. Yeah, I've been in the ministry for years. People have always said, oh, this man, he will do this. He's this. I've been going on and on every day. I know what they are thinking. I always pray Bible says and to him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glory blameless and to him it's only God who can take you and present you blameless before God. It's only God who can actually keep you fall. When you fall, God has decided not to keep you from falling because unto him that is able to keep you from falling, God can keep you from falling. And I see God keeping you from falling. In Jesus. They have predicted and predicted that we will fall. We will do this, we will do this, we will do this, we will do this, we will do this. Yes, still on the way and God will keep us. God will take care of us. Hallelujah. So young men, don't be afraid of your feelings. How many have feelings sisters? How many have feelings? You fall in love? Oh don't worry, OK? God can still use you, and he's going to use you in Jesus name. Amen. Alright.
