Welcome to track #3 of the Blessings of Abraham. Now I believe that it is the most powerful 4th dimensional operation because it is the most senseless operation we have in our car. What we call you may scream all night. We we have scream formation. We form ground like that and we break something. We have two guys, 1 from 10 to 14 in the morning. It doesn't make sense because the Father nation has no sense. There's no logic of experiment or. Any. Form of physics that can contact that realm is a realm of faith, and the Bible says he that speaketh and in a long time. Speaketh. Not unto men, but unto God, and no man understandeth him. How big in the Spirit is pitted mysteries unto God? But we don't use microphone only to say no, we use it to pray. Who told you that microphone was invented for singing? But also for. Prayer. You have to have two guys who are good at praying with different baritone and bass or treble and bass, and then they have different rhythms. That gives the rhythm to the prayers. You sit there and be laughing one day. One day I was sleeping in my house at 3 AMA starting man came to my house. He is. He's from a certain tribe in Canada like. Juju. You know juju? I cannot lie to you. He came around the house sprinkling something like this. I was only. One sleeping in the house. I'm the only one sleeping in the house. He was. Sprinkling, 3:00 AM. Around the house, I hardly know. With a big pot belly. Yeah, it's pretty like this. Like chanting something. Me too. When I go to my house, I should be quiet diplomatically. That is also on the House. That is the 4th dimension of President. Every Friday, all night. Mystery, Mystery. There is no shame, mystery. Are you listening to me? And the more you pray, see that even if you don't come for them all night, if your life will not change on Saturday and on Sunday, if I keep anything, once you come for all that, you'll be tired. You lose your voice. Yes, you lose your voice, you'll be tired. You get it? So nothing, nothing changes, You see, nothing changes. It looks like it doesn't work. That's what I'm saying, that this obedience to God has a way of working as if it doesn't have an effect. That's how I think. That's how. But when you look over here, then you realize that those who do it, don't you pray. Don't you pray? Thanks a lot. Yeah. Whole life is different now. It's not something that what you do then next you see that your life has changed. My prayer tones, all these things, they are acidic. Nothing. Well, reading the Bible, I don't read the Bible. I think what happened, It's OK. There will be no change in anything. You will not be devoted, you will not be sacked. There will be no change in your life, nothing but as the. Time goes by. You see that even the decisions you take, even the way your life is going, you see that it's changing because you are brave in the spirit. Are you listening to me? Are you there? So. This. 3rd. Way of operating in the 4th dimension will greatly affect your future and will bring the blessings of Abraham because Abraham was somebody who operated in the 4th dimension. And finally, the fourth way to operate in the 4th dimension is obedience to heavenly visions and dreams. See when you. Follow a heavenly vision and dream. You get it. You understand When you follow a heavenly vision and dream, are you there? What happens is that you now go away from logic and you obey God like me. I I don't follow logic. It's not logical for him, a person who has qualified nicely as a medical. And by the way, I didn't just qualify as a medical. I qualified excellently. I was invited back. Yeah, as one of the best students. Do you understand? Yeah. I didn't qualify and I'm looking for visa. I already have visa. I already could leave the country. Unlike many who are not applying, applying, applying, apply, but the four dimensional operation where God guided me to stay and to rather look after the church made-up of a group just like this small group here I give my whole life to this group of students. It's a four dimensional move. It doesn't have anything that will improve the third dimension. Of life. Your home, your days, your car, your nose. There was. I knew that I would never have a car. I knew I would never. I knew I would never travel again in my life because all my life I've I've traveled, I've traveled my father, my mother. But now I'm on my own. So as I'm going, I knew, I knew I would never travel again. Isn't that fantastic? But here I am today in Australia. I'm from Korea, Dubai and Israel, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines. Hey, it's wonderful. All over Africa I've been trans Zambia and Uganda cable Zambia invited. Oh, people invite me and pay for me to come speak for to them only once I go and give me money, yes. It's amazing. So. If God is guiding you, don't follow the third dimension or pray by the 4th. One day there was a certain pastor who got married. Hey and I was with a pastor. Who? Told me. Something about his marriage. He said to me when you see the lady that he married, he will understand why he married her. I said why? He said the girl is very beautiful. That's what he told me, he said. The girl is very from Kenya. Very. Beautiful girl, is that when? It's only when you. See her like you understand why this pastor marry her because by the dead dimension they look so beautiful. But what happened was that this person whom he was going to marry was from Kenya, has had got HIV. But she now said she was healed. She said she was healed in the third dimension. She was healed in the third dimension, but there. Was no more. HIV. So I said, I said, why did the pastor marry her? Then he said that is what he said to me. Look if you see the girl. We can't find the third dimension. Hey, beautiful girl, so pretty by the third dimension. He married this beautiful girl from Kenya, and he said that first of all, the wife developed after sometime, the one who was killed developed diarrhea. She developed diarrhea. Oh no. Yeah, diarrhea, diarrhea, diarrhea, diarrhea, diarrhea. Because it's usually the ladies die first and then she died. Then after he developed diarrhea and then he also died. So the pastor was telling. He said I buried him. I buried in my church. I organized it because nobody wanted to bury him. I buried that pastor. And he said, well, he had a big church. And he said, if if you see the girl, let's understand, he married her, you understand. So the third dimension is very inviting, very appealing, very exciting. But I'm. Speaking. To you today so that you will learn. To. Operate by the 4th dimension, which creates the third dimension. Wow, don't go there. The man is tall, the man is short. The man has money. The man is this. He's educated. He's that. He's this. He's that too. Much. Of all that, what did the guy say? He said. You see, I don't understand why he married somebody who had HIV that. It is no but. Now she says that she's what? So operating in the four dimension is very, very important. And Abraham, he was doing a lot of things because of the visions that he was having. I said you are leaving your family. Why? Something I've seen in the four dimension that's not is making me move this way. Yeah. It's so noisy. An Angel. It's an egg. Why? Where are you going now? So I'm seeing another thing. If I don't know this egg, what are you doing now? So I'm seeing another thing. That's why I'm doing it. And when you do those things that God says, because of what you have seen and what you have heard, him convict. You of show you in the. Spirit, it creates a well in the third dimension that you will never have experienced if you have not operated that way in the 4th dimension. I've been blessed by the 4th dimension. It's a powerful dimension. How many want to operate more in that dimension? Oh 4. Dimension that creates a dead dimension. Amen. It's great, I tell you. So the Bible says, and the Lord, they said in Genesis 12, the Lord appeared to Abraham and said to your descendants, I will give this land. So he built an altar bed to the Lord who had appeared to him. Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and this is tent with Bethel. And there he built an altar to the law, and called upon the name of the Law, Amen. And Abraham Jennifer continuing toward the Negev, Amen. Now there is another powerful Who are the people who experience what the Abraham's blessing? Who are the people #1 is what? The person who does what obeys #2 The person who does what separates from people that God says separate from #3 The person that does what stay the person who stays in the country government #4 is what the best? No, no, that's not the 4th. The 4th 1 is what? No, no, that's just a blessing of Abraham. Person believes in visions and dreams and #5 that was it. OK, so that is the 4th dimension, not believing in visions and dreams, but somebody who operates in the 4th dimension, isn't it? Yeah. That's why I'm giving you four ways to operate in the 4th dimension. Is that also #1 is what? Four ways to operate in the 4th dimension #1 is what? Confessions of faith #2 is what? Prayers of understanding, sharp prayers of understanding #3 is what? Praying in tongues and #4 is what? Obedience to heavenly visions of peace. OK #5 OK, no, not #4 of that. The next person who God blesses is the person who builds altars and offers sacrifices to God, Mabel says. And Abraham built an altar. Amen. Abraham built an altar there now. You see, it is Abraham. Isaac, Jacob and all these people who introduced, all right, the concept of making altars, you know, sacrificing, I wouldn't even say they introduced it, but they continued. They carried it on, OK. He built an altar to the law and called upon the name of the law. Now sacrifice and making sacrifices as part of the service to the law. Amen. And it is a person. Who gives up? Something for the Lord, Amen, who will experience a certain blessing of Abraham. So I want you to build altars in Australia and be able to look back if ever you leave Australia one day and see, when I was in Lighthouse Chapel in Australia, I built an altar of the Lord there and I made a sacrifice to the Lord. I made some sacrifice of my time, I made sacrifice of my money, I made sacrifice of my life for God whilst I was in Australia. You see that He built an altar in the gate. Is that not where it is? So everywhere you look back you must be able to see the sacrifice you made there. But there is a sacrifice for every location, there's a sacrifice for every. There's a sacrifice for me and where I am, and there is also a sacrifice for you where you are. There's a sacrifice. You might be able to look back to the time you were in Sydney or Brisbane or wherever you are and they're going to say that. This is a. Sacrifice that I did for the Lord when I was in Sydney. This is a sacrifice I did for the Lord when I was in Brisbane. This is a. Sacrifice I did for the Lord when I was in Blacktown. This is the sacrifice. I made them out of there and I laid down some animals, something that cost me something. I begged them, and they became useless to me because all their wealth was counted in sheep and goats and cows and opposite. That is how their wealth was counted. But they would take some and just bend them to the Lord, become useless to them. They can't use it for anything. They can't buy food, they can't do anything just for God. He built an altar there and called upon the name of the Lord. So my friends, you see my brother, my sister, huh? What are you laid down for? The Lord? We talk about tithing, perhaps in the city that you have to learn how to pay tithes. There is a miracle in your tithe. The tithe is a miracle. You believe it doesn't make sense that you do it. You like to obey. It may seem as if it's not having an effect over the years. If you have an event over the years and years and years and years that go by, you remember to say that I have sacrificed the Lord, my time, my 10%. I sacrificed the Lord, my time when I was a student. I sacrificed my time for the Lord all nights upon all night As a student. When I see people who say they are students, they say they are this, they say they are that, They say they are mine, They say they are parents, they say they are whatever. I just laugh at you because the school that I have been to, most of you have not been to that kind of school. Seven years of. University Medical school training, Seven years, 1982 to 1989. Yeah, it's not a small thing. Seven years. Yeah. And every year they can sack you and withdraw you from the school. There were people that were withdrawn five years, they've done five years, six years out. You go back to a level, begin high school after spending five years there. Six years, they have no mercy. It was a very oppressive school. Do you understand? They say that you're going to be a doctor, you're going to look at people's lives. You can't trust lives into your hand if you are not very exciting way. Do you understand? What have you laid down for the law? What have you done for the law? Huh. All our lives are just ourselves. Selfishness is a cancer. Cancer is the English word or medical word for selfishness. Do you know what cancer? Did you know that cancer is the same as selfishness? When you just think about yourself, it's can show you which part of your body would you like you. Let's use your breasts. I mean, you've got your two nice little breasts there. OK, now. Supposing. One of them decides I want to be bigger, OK, and I want to be harder. So it starts to grow bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger cause cancer and and you know why people who have cancer lose weight? Because the The thing is getting bigger. It uses up the nutrients in the body. It uses the nutrients and the food in the body. If you have to take up reserves to keep to feed it as it's growing, you understand and spread it. That's how can. People. Lose weight when they have cancer. Some cancer people don't lose weight, like breast cancer, they don't often don't lose weight when they happen. But most other cancers you either have, you know, cancer, you see that the person becomes small because The thing is eating him that only that place has decided to look. I need personal growth. I need, I need, I need, I need. I need proof to this, my personal life. Yeah, you alone as proof. And it's like I don't. Care what it caused the rest of us. I don't care what it caused the heart. I don't care what it caused the bone. I'm going that direction. I don't care. One day I saw a man. Whose? Knee. He had cancer of the knee. The knee decided to have cancer. Oh, the whole knee. This whole knee has become big. Osteosarcoma, the whole knee big. And you see, the man has become slim because the knee has decided a look, I need to take care of myself and build a mountain where I am. I don't care about the rest of the body. I want it and I'm going to have it. I need it and I like it. Me, I, myself and me, three of us, we are going to take over. That's cancer, selfishness. And that's what's like when 1 branch in Lighthouse decides to do his own thing and separate itself. It's like cancer. In the church and that's why when we have something, we. Cut it off. Yeah, that's why cancer is cut off. There's no just cut off the breast and you ask yourself, you move around with one breast, but rather that is better to be with one breast than to be with you that are eating us away. How many of you will keep up that breast so that you can be moving along? The lyrics see how freely you are giving up your breast. That is how freely you give. Up a selfish part of you. Selfishness is cancer, so when you. Think of owning yourself. You don't think of souls, you don't think of people, you don't think of people who Christ died for. You don't think of anybody, just your personal life, your life. You see, that's what the reason my only. I just want this place to be. Bigger what? At what? Cost as you. Think about owning yourself. At what cost? It is at the cost of people dying and going to hell and the cost of the work of God not being done. When you think of your personal life, If I was thinking of my personal life, I really come to Australia. If I come here, I have to write my will. I have to write. My will and. Sign, get witnesses and other things to sign. My will, yeah. Because you, you can sit on this. When you when you get up, you kneel down, you. Present God. Thank you. That I've come. No, it's not that. It's fine. The finest is not a problem. But the, the, the what I'm saying is that you see a plane like Air France, it went to Brazil, they were coming and I was basically on that same flight, Air France to Bogota a few weeks ago. So as I was sitting on the a plane that is moving, then it goes away, it disappears from the world, We don't see the plane again, we don't see the people again. No reason after today, no reason is keeping why it just went out of the air and where it fell in the water is deeper than the highest mountains on Earth is about 5 to 10 miles deep that even a submarine cannot go there. So they, they, they, the French brought their nuclear submarine there, and then they brought a special underwater submarine special. Robotic. Underwater, deep for the deepest water if it can set for that black box because it's like mountains. Deep down. I'm thinking of myself. I've got my little daughter, you know, my children, my wife and so on and my family that loves me. I'm not coming here because I'm I'm very blessed in a crowd. Our. Church is one of the biggest we. Have. Hundreds and hundreds of churches. I don't need money. I don't need any car. I've got cars. Even if if I stand in my church right now, I ask, can I have a car? Can I have? I will get so many people give me cars if I need lunch and I say I need lunch. So. People will buy rice at small one because you know, buy rice or you don't get what I'm saying. But you don't have to think about yourself and your daughter and your son and your child and your. Personal if you. Think that way, you get it. It's going to cost the rest of the body something and I cannot think that I'm going to fly. I'm going to travel. I'm going to. Do what I've had until the last moment. When the Lord says I will. I stay out of this earth. And the day that I die, I will be very happy that I'm dying. Yeah, I will be happy. I will go with joy on the day that he says it's over. But As for that day, he knows it. I'm like an ally. I have a contract from this time to this time. Every day I get nearer to that day. I don't know when it is. Like Isaac. I also say I don't know when I die, but I can't think of myself. I cannot think of myself. Many of us say all they are thinking about is our life. I want to prosper. As I'm preaching Abraham's blessing, you are thinking that you want to prosper. Me, me. I myself, Me, my life. My life. But you see, Christianity is all about sacrificing something for God. Take up your cross, Deny yourself. Say too much to yourself. No, this time, not you. This time somebody else. That's Christianity. We don't know. I'm telling you, Christianity is all about saying no to yourself. Take up your cross. Follow me. Deny yourself. Follow me. If you want to be my disciple, thank God for Jesus. Jesus preached. He said if any man want to come unto me, he shouldn't bother about the cross. No, you have to bother about the cross. Jesus reminds me of. I always remember a Stephen that when the I read the book he said that Jesus never lowered the power so that a lot of people could come. He just kept it for everybody. I remind you of a second guy who was going to do hijab, put the hijab there, and he said no, raise it. He can jump higher when they raise it. No, a little bit, no. So it got yourself back. Then he started from the back and he ran straight under them. That is, Jesus never lowered the standard so that a lot of people could come. He never made it easy at all. All of you come. Don't worry, don't worry. I make it to our food for you. You come no problem for you, just you just come. It will be like little head of Jew kindergarten headers for you, you in particular and you, 2 of you. I like you so you have no he says. If you want to come anyone. Any man is any man. If any man want to. Come unto me, let him take up his crops, let him deny himself, and let him follow me. He said he looked for him to receive any man. Come unto me, and take not his father, and his mother, and his brothers, and his sisters, and his wife, and his children. Yeah, and his own life also. He cannot deny this. Come not. Come, not come, not come. Not that's Jesus for you. He never said I wouldn't mention hell. I wouldn't say this. I don't want the fighting people. No, he raised the past. You see, everybody has to jump this one. They can jump. You are going to hell. They're going to you. So Abraham is a man whose sacrifice? Those are the people that get the blessings of Abraham, people who can meet. Now I want to ask, what sacrifice are you doing? Well, where are you from? Where were you before you came to Sydney? Are you in Sydney at all? Where are you Papa? Where were you before you went to Papa? New Guinea? Are you grew up in all your life? OK, so Question Time, When are you dying for what you properly? Do you hear what I'm saying? That's the question you must ask yourself. Or maybe you were in school. Were you in school before you were in school? Then after the school, what did you do? After the school, you left the school. OK. And after you left the school, what did you do? It's on nothing. Nothing. So what have you done for me during the school time? You get it. And then after the school? No. Don't have to bother to answer. I'm just asking to think about it. OK. And you too. Where were you before you went? Ghana. Where in Ghana? Come and say. So you went. Come and say. Then you came here. So what did you do for him? And then I like see me what did what did you sacrifice? Did you make for him? Then he said Abraham built an altar in naked and as we are doing see you'll beat another one in better you'll beat another one here. You build so many everywhere you go. There's some price you pay for God there. Whereas some of us, we have a train of men that we have slept with in every town that we have ever been right. Killer, killer. When you land in a certain time, when you land in a town and killer has arrived, they are coming to slay the man. One day a certain sister slept with a certain pasta and when she finished sleeping with him and they were putting on their panties and so on, as she was putting in the panties she just made the comment. She said I have waited five years for this. Are you listening to me? Thank you, the dearest, I said. How many years are you waiting for something? Can we watch a video? We have the video there, the video working OK. You want to watch films? Films. I want to listen to preaching. Which one? Films preaching Preaching of films number how many do you have the man who receives Abraham's blessing? There's none, it says Abraham Janet on continuing. Toward. The Negev. Amen. Now you must realize the next thing is that you must continue following the Lord. Continue. The fact that you've ever followed the Lord before does not mean you're OK. That's why the man wrote the book Pilgrims. Progress. It's a journey, Amen. It's a journey. Now. There's 10 now. There was a famine in the land and everyone went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land. He came about when he came here to Egypt and he said to Sarah, his wife, see, now I know that you are a beautiful woman. When the Egyptians see you, they will say this is his wife and they will kill me, but they will let you live. Please say that you are my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, that I may live on account of you. And it came about when Abraham came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. Pharaoh's officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh, and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. He's a bit like Swaziland. Therefore he treated Abraham well for her sake and gave him sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and male and and female donkeys and camels. He gave him what? Sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and female donkeys and camels. But the Lord struck Pharaoh in his house with great place because of Sarah. Then Pharaoh called Abraham and said, What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? Why did you say she is my sister? So that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take care and go. And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that belonged to him. Amen. All right. Well, this part of Abraham's story is no comment. Chapter 13. So Abraham went up from Egypt to the Negev, he and his wife, and all that belonged to him, and lost with him. There's two now. Abraham was very rich in livestock, in silver and in gold. Amen. And he went on his journeys for the Negev, as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning between Bethel and I, to the place of the altar which he had made there formerly. And there Abraham called on the name of the Lord. Amen. Are you ready? Just to give you an idea of what we are involved with. Amen. Trying to go to places that you may not know they are in existence with a lot of people there. Is it not a lot of people, Yeah. Is that also so? I'm sure many of you are partners, but even those of you are partners, I'm sure there is more that you can do so that you can sacrifice something so that the Crusades are possible because the blessing of Abraham has to come on your life, and Abraham was someone who made sacrifices. Amen. OK, where were we? Genesis chapter 13. Now there's 2 now. Abraham. Was very rich in livestock, Amen. And he went on his journey from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning between Bethel and I, and to the place of the altar he had made their formally. And there Abraham called on the name of the Lord, Amen. Now the next important thing of who are those who God blesses with the blessings of Abraham, are those who are not changed by riches. You see, because here the Bible says that Abraham was very rich. Now when he was very rich, he went back to the same place that he used to be before, Before at the very beginning when he was not very rich as the at the beginning, that was it where he. 1st. Sacrificed to the Lord, and right there, OK, he sacrificed again in the same place where he sacrificed to the Lord at the beginning. Now, many people are affected by riches. Once they get a bit of money, there's a change so much in their lives that you even wonder whether I mean you, you actually know, You don't even wonder. You know that the riches was bad for them. Is it all true? So ladies and gentlemen, to be someone who enjoys the blessings of Abraham, you have to have the capacity of not changing in spite of riches, blessings and the help that God gives to you. Now that is what we need. We need people who are not destroyed by money. Amen. We need people who are not destroyed by being in Australia. We need people who are not destroyed by graduating from student life to workers life. We need people who are not destroyed by marriage or by a little bit of elevation, a little bit of enhancement, because every time we become bigger, greater and promoted, alright, it affects us. We are affected greatly by the prosperity that has come to us. It is. Almost. Like it's almost like a virus. Do you get what I'm saying? Yes, that it's almost like if somebody comes to check regular, then you look at the person, either person has an emotional problem, a psychological problem, some social problem, something wrong with the person. But if everything is going on, well, you don't see them in the House of the Lord, Do you get it? Yeah. So. Riches, you see? You, you see, TD James wrote a book called Can You Stand to Be Blessed? What he's trying to say is that any blessing comes, will you be able to stand it? Will you be able to stand the pressure that comes by having a little bit of money? Look at what happened to Michael Jackson. You see how he changed and changed and changed and changed as he became Richard and Richer. So that Richard makes no sense. Do you get it? Yeah. If if you watch those of you who watch football, you see the footballers, many of them become broke later on and you wonder if you could just end what they end for one week more than what you are ending for several years. How many are rich? Not in the 4th dimension. I'm talking about 3 dimensional. Riches. Yeah. Now, Edison, how many feel that you are richer than how you used to be before? Huh. Do you give more than you used to give before? Are you sure? But most of you don't pay kites regularly. Pardon. What did you say? You do, but you've missed it before. Yeah, Look, many times when we have a little bit of money, that's it. Why do you think that I don't have fabulously rich people following me to help me in the gospel? Yeah, very rich people are affected by by by getting money, you see. And you don't have to become a more timely way before you are affected. Just even being in Europe, having selling jobs, you see the arrogance. So I think that and and arrogance and pride is invisible. So you have to overcome it by doing what you used to do before. If you have respect for your pastor, you have to show the same respect if you if you pray in tongues like this, when you have money, pray in tongues in the same way. Pray in tongues. How you used to pray in wherever you come from, Sierra Leone or wherever, in the same way you get it. If you see me as an all night praying, you would think that I'm not. I tell you, you think that I'm. I stand with the small boys in the church, the students and we love each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that. Because that's what I used to do when I was when I was a teenager. So now I am far different. My situation is far different than it used to be, but I must be able to still. Yeah, why not? That was that he went back to the place that he used to be when he. Tells you to. Sacrifice how you do that safe. He went to do the same thing again when he was very rich. He's the only person in the Bible says he was very rich. I went witnessing. I was going house to house with one of my friends, Reverend Steve and I went door to door. Then he said to me that it is unusual for a Bishop like we were going round the prisons officers houses into the compound going knock on the door. I said it's an and I said that there is something wrong with us. That is why it it looks unusual, because why should it be that me, a pastor, it is my profession to win souls. It is. Unusual for me to go to somebody's house. No, the person. Don't ask the person. Why is it that there's something wrong with me and there's something wrong with bishops and pastors? Do you understand that? I've graduated above my job? Then what is my work? That. Is not your work. That is my work and now I if it looks unusual, it's like that should not be something I should be doing. So my dear friend, you get it. If we want Abraham's blessings, we have to ask ourselves who are the ones that God exhausts. It exhausts people that are not affected. I don't sign checks. I have sign. I don't sign checks, but it's as good as me signing because I'm the one who keep the order after $1 million. To know me personally, I don't sign. I mean, I don't, I don't sign. I don't have money. People say that I have not even a cent on me most of the time. I don't have any money on me. I don't have anything. I don't give offerings in church. I give offerings elsewhere. Yeah, I make tithes. I give offerings, but I usually don't have any money in my pocket. Nothing. I don't carry wallets. Nothing. You understand? You don't understand. Yeah, but. And I don't sign checks. I don't write papers. I don't do anything. I don't have. I don't have even from people. I don't have a laptop. Every time I'm. I don't have. I don't have anything. I don't know how to do anything. I'm just a pastor, you understand? I'm a priest. Tongues. Yes, I can print tongues. Are you there? Check. I said $1 million, right? Give them pay. Yeah, me. And I've done before $1,000,000, but it has not affected me. How many people, How many people can write $1 million? I know you're talking about now talking about something. I'm not talking about my personal money. I'm talking about the the organization that I'm the head of. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think you see? You see the villages. You see that those villages. That's where I want to be. That's always been my heart, that those places that the real people. That's why you don't see me coming. Back to Australia, I go more to those kind of places, you know, and I need your help to go there. You get it. I can't go without your help. But if you need me more than you need me, there are a lot of nice pastors who can come and print nice messages to you. But it's not easy to go to these places. We are going to Guinea. Some of those places, I tell you, you would drive for 500 kilometers. There's no Rd. like 500 continuous kilometers. There is nothing. There is. Nothing. You sleep on the road, you will be on the road, you poo, poo on the road, everything. And you remove it. There's nothing like toilet. Let's stop. There's nothing like that. You remove your things and do what? What do you think I'm explaining to do that? Riches. Must not prevent you from sacrificing in exactly the same way that you sacrificed when you were at class. One rich. What do you think? Oh, you don't get what I'm saying. I see many of us more jobs that you have. When you think more jobs that you have, nobody can speak to you again. Your attitude has come, your face has come, your mind has come, some Wellness has come more prosperity. That's why some of you is you. God will not give you any rich man to man. Only pocket is tricky. Men marry you because if if a rich man makes a mistake and marry you, you say you don't know the church. It's only when you have. Trouble. That you come to the church, You will not remember your church. You will not remember your pastors, you will not remember anybody. Small prosperity. Look at your your attitude has come. Yourself has come. Your mouth has tell your nose, your eyes is. Not close when you see us, Yes. Why are you talking about money? Those people complain about giving about money and then giving. They are the ones who give nothing and they're richer people. They don't give much Me, my check me. Millionaires don't follow me. The people that follow me have asked us and my staff. Yeah, I don't move with rich people. If you like, look at me like video videos. I'm not seeing a rich person with me. I don't move with rich men. I don't have. All my friends have passed us. Yeah, all my friends have passed us. I don't move with Richard. They are not interesting to me. I'm attracted to them, Yeah, more. I'll be like, hey, I have. To go and see this party more be there. I've got this morning. Yeah, pastors have always been because I have to share the wealth of you and my friend. You have to. You have to be somebody that I can share scriptures with. You. Not be talking about Stock Exchange credit crunch. Are you there? Are you listening? Yes. I'm explaining that when he become rebounded, Abraham was rich. He went back to work. The same place. Did you read it to your Bible? Same place. And he sacrificed again in the same way at the same place. One day I went to a certain millionaire's house, and you know who was in the house? A millionaire. A real millionaire and he was mentioning some number of millions that he he he has and he just said something big to just give some rough ideas. He said if I earned this and then about this I have just taken as an example, he said to multi millionaire with his own private jet and everything. Then I said to him, I started talking to him about. He said you are trying to convey me. And he said to me, I used to, I used to be in the church. I used to be. I used to do things in the church. He was his family, things he used to do in the church. He said. I don't believe I. Don't believe in God, somebody. Who told his father His, I think his father. I know what his father was, but he used to work in the church and he told me that it is used to. Then I told him, say you have proved to me for the back and says that it is. Hamburg. For a rich man to enter the Kingdom of heaven than a can help to fasten the eye of an in you have proving it to me, I told him. He said no, I don't believe that it's not true. I said you have proving it. You have handling your heart because of small millions that you have. Oh, you see how people change when they get money. He used to go to church. He mentioned the name of his church. He mentioned what he was doing, and I never did what he did. He was far advanced. He was on his way to becoming a priest. Now he doesn't believe in God because of what? One day you read in the paper that he's dead. What will his money do for him? In the day that you die, you become like meat. Are you listening to me? Are you understanding what I'm saying? So those of you in. Sydney, it's amazing that some of you cannot pay tax. When you didn't have anything you were paying tax. Now you cannot pay tax. It's amazing that you cannot support How much do you have to pay to be a partner of healing? Jesus Christ? How much is it 20? No, just tell me. I can't say it. 2020 dollars. It's amazing that some of us cannot give $20.00 for some time ago. You will say, Oh if the law, if the law, if the law, oh Lord, if you bless, oh Lord, if you help me, Lord, if you give me, oh Lord, take me to Australia. Lord, oh Jesus, remember some of you in Sierra Leone, you are praying, doing things the day you entered it to the yellow plane. Then you start putting Australia doing everything to be here. Now you are here. Say, Lord, things are different now. You say Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, that's. What happened to Esther when she was in the King's palace? She was not a queen. I said my darling, my darling, we are about to be executed tomorrow. Can you please tell your husband remember you are orphan. Remember I took you on your father, your mother name and look after you. I set you up for this competition. You won by the peace of God out of all the. 1000. Remember when you keep them and speak. Up and you know what? She said. Things are different. We don't just go in. We don't just go up and down to where we don't. You see, Australia is not like Ghana, Mr. Bishop. Mr. Bishop, it's not. Australia is not like whatever Europe is not, Mr. Bishop, that things are different here. We work, you know, here, we work here. We suffer, OK? We suffer, OK. We're working hard, OK. Mr. Bishop want to collect our money? Over here we pay bills and, you know, you know, yeah, we're affected by credit cards. OK. See, that's how people talk and that's what Esther said. She said, look here, it's different. Then uncle himself came. Then himself came and he sent a message and said don't. Think. Think not that that shall escape in the case times any more than the rest of us. You will not escape. And perhaps it is for such a time that you came that God bless you. Then he said, and if he did only three things, he said, don't think he will escape. I don't want people to think that me I'm doing this because I want money. As a me, I live from offering my ships. I use offering to buy my. Pants, my socks, everything is. Awesome. I'm a church, my work is church and I have no shame of the customer. I'm not ashamed. Of the customer. I'm not ashamed. Of my work. Maybe you are ashamed that I'm not ashamed of him. If you are ashamed of him in this simple and adulterer generation, he will also be ashamed of him. So, dear friends, you cannot allow yourself to be corrupted by the deceitfulness of riches. Riches make themselves. More rarely about senior. Rich man one day. Certain rich man came to see me. I asked this rich man to help the church. He didn't help. I look at him and I knew my harvest man will not help. When I close my eyes, I saw. A. Family landing on him. Yeah, I saw a family landing. On him like this and I said. Because. You know, when I see a family land of someone, it's like the person is finished. I, I, I didn't understand that. I watched it happen, couldn't believe it. It took some months or whatever, some time it happened. Finish that riches, Charlie. Look, if Paul has to please you out for it, be careful because there is a reason why he has given you what he has given you. Not every church and every pastor is after money. Don't put Jesus Christ and teeth together and give them the same treatment. You put the good and the band together and you treat them in the same way. It's a sin, it is a sin, it is a sin. So I am saying to you today, are you listening to me, that it is very important for you not to be changed by riches? Recently, when I was a student, I used to take my guitar. I'm going to preach at all. Then one day I realized that I become a. Man of God. My children is like, I'm too. I said I call my children early in the morning and I took my guitar and I went back to the same school where I used to hold my guitar and play Great Allah. And I went there. I talk in front of the students and I played my guitar again and I sang Great Allah as a Bishop. Yeah, I stood in front of the students hostel, my, my little tomorrow with me. And I said, I said what I used to do, what I used to sacrifice for the law. There must never be a place or a condition or an elevation that elevates me about that thing which God brought. Me up with. No, no, I don't want that thing. I don't want that prosperity. I don't want that righteous. Are you listening to me? So, my friend, it's very important that preaches were not corrupt. You Amen. Stand, stand. Oh, it's almost 12, OK. Right. Tell your neighbor. Neighbor. I'm ready to sacrifice my sleep. What did they say? OK, let's read on. Can you think I'm going to sleep now? Now Lot who went with Abraham also had flocks and heads and tents, and the land could not sustain them while dwelling together, for their possessions was so great that they were not able to be together. Amen. Are you there? And there was strife between the herdsmen. There was strife between the herdsmen of Abraham's livestock and Lord's livestock. Are you there? And now the Canaanite and parasite were dwelling there in the land. So Abraham said a lot. Please let there be no strife between you and me, not between my herdsmen and your herdsmen. For we are what brothers. Amen. It's not the whole land before you. Please separate from me. If to the left, then I will go to the right, or if to the right, then I will go to the left. And Lord lifted up. His eyes saw all the valley of Jordan. It was well worth it. This was before the Lord destroyed Southern and Governor like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as he go to Zoa. So Loch chose for himself the valley of Jordan and Loch Jain in eastward, and Abraham settled in the land of Canaan, while Loch settled in the of the valley and moved his tent as far as. Sodom. Now the men of Sodom were wicked. Exceedingly Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Amen. Wow, are you there now? The Lord said to Abraham. After Lord separated from him. See after Lord have separated from him. Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land which you see. I will give it to you and to your descendants forever. I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered. Wow. Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you. Abraham moved his tent and came and dwelled by the books of memory, which are in Hebrew, and there he built another altar to the Lord. Amen. Are you standing tomorrow? We're going to continue. Amen. But we are moving on to. More. Things that were a blessing to Abraham. But as you can see here, this was another 4 dimensions, he said Lift your eyes and see I've given it to you. See what you see is very important. That's why sometimes God wants you to see certain things. That's why we invite you to come to Homecoming because I want you to see certain things. You will never see them by staying here and watching videos. You need to come. You need to be a part of the church fully. Otherwise you will not really understand what is going on. Amen. God will bless you. Hallelujah. Are you ready to operate in the 4th dimension tonight? Perhaps there may be a dream or a vision or an interpretation that may change your life. May you dream dreams that directs your life in the right direction. In the name of Jesus Christ Father, we thank you for the 4th dimension. We enter that dimension, a dimension that controls the third dimension, and we arrest every power that is lifted up his horns against us. We catch the enemy's horns and the horn of the enemy that is lifted up against us to destroy us. We reject its power in the name of Jesus. Thank you Jesus, for victory over satanic hosts, demons, and other wicked spirits that are lifted up against your servant. Thank you that they stand no chance, because greater is he that is in us, He that is in the world. We give you thanks, We give you praise. Angels of the Lord move into position. Angels of the Lord, hosts of the Lord, and camp around the 7th of the Lord, and camp around the 7th of the Lord. Provide security by night and by day. Provide security against the forces of wickedness that lift up their homes against the Lord's Father. To you be the glory for what you have begun to do, even concerning the blessings of Abraham amongst your children here in Sydney. We give you thanks and we give you praise in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Tomorrow morning we are going to start at 6:30 in the morning, Amen. And then we are going to break at 8:30. At breakfast is what time? 8:00 Teasing against Chedorlauman king of Elam, and Tedor king of Golem, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Eliasan, 4 kings against Bani. Now the valley of Sydium was full of carpets, and the kings of Sovan and Gourmak fled, and they fell into them, that those who survived fled to the Hill Country, and they took all the goods of Sovan coming out of their food supply. And they also took Lot, Abraham's nephew, and his possessions at the pirate, for he was living in Sodom. Then a fugitive came and told Abraham the Hebrew he was living by the hopes of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eschel, and brother of Andrew. These were allies of Abraham. When Abraham had that his religion had been taken captive, he let out his trained men born in his house, 318 and went in pursuit as far as Dan. He divided his forces against them by knight. He and his servants defeated them and pursued them as far as Hobart, which is north of Damascus. And he brought back all the boots and brought back his relative lot with his possessions, and also the women and the people. Amen. Well, the next important feature of someone upon whom they they blessings, Abraham's blessings are men. Abraham's blessing someone. I am blessed in the morning, I am blessed in the evening. Abraham's blessing someone. I am blessed in the morning, I am blessed in the evening. Abraham's blessing someone, one of them characteristic of the man who God blesses, the man who God blesses, right at the top of your notes. I am the man who God blesses. I am the man who God blesses or the woman who God blesses. Alright, and then what are the characteristics right in the big heading? These are my characteristics, Hallelujah, Amen. These are my characteristics, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. What are the characteristics of such a person? One of the characteristics of such a person is they is to be courageous. Courageous, Amen. To be courageous, Abraham took his army of 380 guys who grew up in his house. You get it and go to fight death. He was courageous and he was a fighter, Amen. So one of the important characteristics of someone who can receive the blessings is parish. Amen. Have you ever really remembered Joshua? Let's turn to Joshua chapter 1. Oh Lord. Now it came after the death of Moses. Verse one, the Lord said to Joshua, son of man, Moses, my servant is dead. Every place upon which the soul of your future tread I've given to you. Amen. That's fine. No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I've been with Moses, I will be with you. Verse 6. Be strong and courageous, but you shall give these people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them their seven. Only be strong and very courageous, and be careful to do according to all the law which my which Moses my servant commanded. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left so that you may have success wherever you go. Amen. Now success. Alright, there's nine. Have I not commanded you Be strong and courageous. Hallelujah. Now in life alright, you see that Joshua was advised, commanded to be strong and to be courageous 3 times, OK. Now recently I was reading the joiner's book called The Final Quest. A couple of days ago I was reading a part of it and I was struck by this particular thing in the vision. Where? Joiner was being encouraged by either an Angel or an eagle or something to go ahead. And the Angel said to him becoming You have to courageous. And he said to you because then he was afraid to go because the police are headed very dark. And he said to you have to be courageous. And he said that the reason why the Angel told you the reason why Joshua was encouraged to be courageous was because there was real danger. You don't need courage unless there's real danger, like when you are watching a match. Recently you were watching the World Cup, Ghana was playing with different, different people and in the end we won the World Cup. As for me, I don't like watching it when it is happening. I like to watch it after. After you don't need courage. You understand you don't need any courage because you you know the outcome. But during there's too much tension and too much courage is needed to go to the emotions. Now, Ghana won against Brazil in the last. Did you watch it here in Australia? Yeah, penalties. Can you imagine from the 37th minute when we had a red card, one of our players, I think our defender, our main defender was taken away to get it and we were down, down, down. But we kept fighting. We we that we won the match on the last note. That was the first sign of hope because the last, the moment we won was the hope and everything came in the end. There was no hope throughout the match, but in the last moment, penalties, penalties, penalties were defeated. The penalty that we came back and last second we won. So you don't need courage for that kind of thing. Do you get it? There's a lot of tension and I stopped watching soccer some time ago, but when when Cavalry was playing the World Cup against England, I was very disappointed. And after that I said this thing. I will not put my hat in it again because the discipline is too much. I don't want another problem in my life, the baby problems that I have. Add soccer to my problems. You get what I'm saying? I'm not adding to the things that I'm struggling with. Are you understanding me? Yeah. But when you are playing a match, you have to be courageous because you've been defeated and disappointed. You may lose. It's gently because what? What group is going to cry? What group is going to go home to cry? So courage is necessary only when there is real danger. That's what, That's what the Angel. Told The Journey. If there was no real danger, the word courage would not be used in in really working for God. You need real courage because there is real danger. I tell you, they tell so many things. If you want to really wait for God, there's a lot of danger. Yeah, you may die. You get it. You may lose your family. There are certain family problems you may never have only because of the ministry. And you wouldn't preach. You wouldn't have any God. A lot of pastors have problems when they are married because they pastor is a is it what makes a pastor and pastor? Is. His love for the sheep. That's what makes you a pastor. What do you think you you were in revenge still? Nazis church, right? Two of you. You see that revenge still. He loves his people. It's not that he's got a word reverent. What makes a person a pastor because he he loves the people genuinely. It's not something that is you are enforcing out of the person. Do you understand he likes them and he cares for the people. That's a pastor. That thing can give. Is in every. Pastor. But you see, when you love people, you can have a lot of problems because you love people, because you could have loved only your wife and your two children. I, my wife and my children and you live what? Happily, happily and whatever, and then what after ever, after the ever, you are still living happily. You live happily after Ever and then after the ever you are still happy, but now you have added more people. Why did my mother ask me a question? Somebody had died, something had happened. Do you understand? They said they should ask me. How do I do? So many people with so many wild problems. This has happened. That they are all our members. We are connected to them. Do you understand? And the people, you will laugh them. Yesterday when I went home, I was just about to sleep, but I had several calls and I've caught the news of one of my masters who have just died. Huh. Yeah. You know, Major Bethel? Yeah. I've just been killed in Afghanistan. And I. Don't know I I hardly slept because you see. And when I spoke to his wife, he said so this is when you say that if the word, if you even say the word, you are part of us. It's not even the right word because you don't say to your child you are part of us because your child is part of you without saying you are part of you. Oh. I was crying. A good Bishop sucking called me crying because even when his child was born, I was dead. It was like a hospital. I remember that morning and the family there to get the two years. It's not that somebody is a member by a name. No, it's not like that. You like the people. They have been added to your life. That's that's a pastor. Do you get it? Yeah. It's just something that you are pretending. We are not crying. There's that somebody's force. One day I went to a funeral. No, I didn't. Go to a funeral. But part of my people went for a funeral. Do you know what happened to the female? Do you want to know what? Happened. She could not cry, so she had to get medicine to put in her eyes. To. Make her eyes cry. I'm not talking about where you need medicine to make your eyes cry. I'm talking about where you are crying. Because it is baby you. Yeah, of separation. So you see safety and for your life, your world is broken by becoming a pastor you expose yourself to. Because I was thinking to myself, I thought he would bury me. In fact, a lot of my masses that are there, I thought they would. I've always thought of seeing myself as well, They will bury me, but now I'm burying them. So I asked myself, how many more females am I going to? I mean like they pay that infusions. I think I would have normally just had four children, but now it's like I have so many children. Hey, so how many more times am I going to go gently to the much to carry my brothers and my sisters and sons and daughters and. Friends. How many more times? Hey, that's phone calls. Maybe when I have the call, I said yes. What? So some, some. I said I said what? So the one guy said I am here. What is it? Yeah, I'm here. What are you saying? You know, so your life would have been far simpler because you have only three phone calls. We can test in your life of such a call. You don't understand what I'm saying of four phone calls, but when you become a pastor, you expose yourself to much more certain sadness. That's and luck. One day one of my pastors, his judgement that died. But this guy, this pastor, you know, he's a prophet, very hard looking. His, his, his appearance didn't have. So. One of his members died and he called me on the phone from. Where he was. And he told me he was telling me to my I'm just surprised. I was just surprised. He just bester. Crying. On the phone, he said she helped me. She helped me when I started this day, she really didn't. She followed. Me. She. Followed me to commencing. And it helped. Me, this change the controller, after sometime I stop crying because and you see you, the pet, you, you, you experience a certain connection. Now all these things, they change your life, they change the permutations and combinations of your life. And there are pastors who are married to people who cannot stand it. They they interpret pastoral love as a romantic love. And you love your sheep. Then one day the fastest fire was sitting in the front, and the worship leader was leading the worship. Lord, I give you my heart. They should look at him, he said. You can't take your eyes off her, you see. You can't take your eyes off her, you see. Fire was coming in the brick. Simply where should you put your eyes when the worship is golden, the worship leader is leading the worship. You can't take your eyes off her. You see another pastor was they were having praises so they were dance. You see yesterday when they were dance they were the Ava and blessings. So brother went to join the and the wife came. He said you are dancing. Close to. This particular system, look, none of my stories when it's a joke, I'll tell you that this one is a joke, but this one is not real like that always OK, If I don't say that it's a joke, it's a serious joke. There's no joke about 85%. So I said they don't have peace, but because they are Joseph. Joseph, he didn't say he didn't disgrace Mary. Not disgrace. That is why you see them moving as they are honourable men, only that there are some passes. They are not Joseph. If. You marry somebody, you press you, these things that are punished on the system. So be careful. Hey, are you listening to me? So in this courage, because it's real danger, the whole life can be destroyed by them. A lot of bad things can happen to you. You can also fall into sin. Yes, you can fall into sin genuinely. It's a genuine danger because when you are counseling. Somebody. You can get into him deep relationship with the person through your counseling and get to a deep relationship. One day I said to the sister, join the church, very sweet girl. And the pastor was counseling this sister, but suddenly he will see the shock of his life, because you see you see somebody in yourself looking. When she revealed herself, she said she said, Pastor, I have slept with, I slept with. Every. Boy in my class, yeah, If there's any boy that's like having a concert I've slept with. All the boys. And then now she was working in the bank and I've slept with. All the people it. Seemed like a disease, a serial killer. The fastest had begun to beat. What am I here? What am I near to? It was dead. It was frightened. So if you become a pastor and you do the work, you are you, you, you, you enter some danger that you never would have had to if you have kept your life quietly to yourself. Still, if you do the work of God, you can travel. See how travel which plane has a bomb under when you check in whose suitcase is a bomb? Because we all know a suitcase has been a bomb. So as they are checking one by one. I have metal tapers in my table. They haven't seen it before. Every day I check it, they don't see I'll pass through like that. I thought it would not allow such things but mine has been able to go to and it's always going to. They cannot see it. It's real. The data is a real. As far as somebody is imagining it, it's a real. So. You may go and they may send it. Start a church. It may not work. It's possible a lot of churches don't work and even some of your branches, they are not working. They are going to be closer from them. Come, come and join the main church, transfer, ship the system. Yeah, this is so if you know what about you doesn't work. You have what? Disgrace yourself. You have not displayed anything you've tried, but you see, somebody may look at themselves. You, you are bereft of, you know, bereft. Bereft means that you don't have, you have the rest of anointing. Bereft you have the rest of anointing. What about the mission doesn't work? What about please don't work out? You get it so by Abraham and you know somebody who experienced these blessings is courageous. It's like in spite of the dangers that are real, it's you're imagining it. It's real when I travel the routes for Crusade. It's real when you see the accident in Ghana, the accidents in Ghana. Today, Ghana has one of the most dangerous routes in the whole world. That's when I'm living traveler. I prefer to drive on the road that has not been made because cars don't like those roads, that road they will not meet. So you see. At the place like that, the forest, different forests. I know rules that are not of the man. If you are chasing me, Ghana, you miss me, I pass. You are setting for that's that's why you don't see me on any road again. For I will appear somewhere if I'm going. Those of you who know Ghana, if I'm going to Kumasi, let me see. I'm deep, I'm deep inside the forest. I pass. I pass through a forest before I. Reach. Kumasi, yeah, which I'm going to there, never seen there, nor the road and I I'm in the forest. That is real, Reverend is to those of you. Who will know, Reverend? To children, it's not that we are imagining danger, real danger. So you don't need courage. If it's not real, it's after the match. There's no courage. You just watch and you just be seeing Abraham. But before the. Match. During the match, all 2 to the end, you need courage. But without courage you can't make it. You need courage to go to come. OK, so be courageous. Everyone wants to say let's go and fight. He didn't say, oh Lord, they should have you. You have followed me. You didn't have died. You didn't have fallen to this, you know. He said no, let's go and fight. He went to fight. Are you ready to fight? A good fight, a good fight. One day, major metaphor who just died? He told me some because he went to Liberia and he told me that he used a certain word, the word he used. Was. Foolish death because most of the Nigerian peacekeepers and other peacekeepers had become taxi. Drivers, and they were so. Like they were having taxi business, like they were into diamond mining. They have been set as peacekeepers, but they were doing diamond mining. He used that word foolish death, I said. But he said that they are advise themselves that it's not necessary to go and die a foolish death. Politicians are fighting. Then you have been sent to go and die. What else? Death for? For no. Reason. Are you listening? When you are working for God, you can never die. Amen. So be strong. Be courageous. What about if you make a mistake in the Bible, you read the Bible and you start to preach a false doctrine? Strong. You need courage. Every aspect of ministry. So if those of you say I can't be a shepherd, I can't be. You can't, you can't, you can't do it. You can do it. Especially if your pastor looks at you and says you can do it. Believe it, believe it. You see most of the time you can't see yourself. Well, how many? Sometimes you look in the mirror. You are a bit surprised. Have you look in the mirror? You have survived. I want you look in the mirror and I say I am a bit fat, a bit slick and some of the mirror, they make you slimmer. Is it not true? But sometimes the ones that are even telling the truth, you are surprised you get it. So what? Usually the person is looking at you, you can see it better. So when you have processes, you can do it, you can make it. He has seen something and you you can do it. You can make it. You can do it. Amen. And I want to say this church is not going to explode. It's not going to grow in a certain way until the ladies start to minister. You see, there is a certain level of expansion in any area that counts when women get involved. Do you know why? How do you want to know why? I'm not just saying something. I want the ladies to be happy this morning. If you have only men, you cannot have babies, you see. Supposing they log us out of this camp forever. So it's only us who are here forever till be the end of the world. And we have to breed, you understand, Breed if there were no women. There will be no we will. Become we will stay the same number we are gradually reduced. But if there are women young enough to. Breed. We can breed, I mean, if you're ready to breed and fill them, fill Australia for this group here we can populate Australia. Oh, another have them have given death, mother has given death, They have filled the whole world. But if they are only brothers, they are the rest of boys, the rest of women. Is it not true? So every ministry usually when it starts to become a very large, there's a lot of women involved. Like they chose ministry women, women, women, all the same person women. I appreciate the checks for understanding money in the main sanctuary, about 12,000 people almost. I don't know if I saw 29, if there were any weight, maybe the ashes. Every 30 else was. So when women start doing things you see properly, they really do well. It's about you see the woman you have to come out of a life of just doing off your hair, buying the clothes, doing off your face, your lipstick and your creams and your face that cover the real face, the real face and out of the faces you see above the real faces. And then and then you have to come out of an anti frivolous chatting. Women are more, you are more light hearted. That's what a man wants to relax. He always wants a woman, not a man. It's true. I don't want, I don't want another man, another man that will not relax. Make him relax. A woman who doesn't talk about anything serious. What I'm saying is you don't like what I'm saying. I don't care. I'm not angry with me, with me. I don't care. You know what I'm saying is true. True. Yeah, so. But if you can, if you can climb out of that to also have the word by the minister, maybe you should come to Korea. You see the ladies with their suits, bastards in this test of the gospel preachers. Yeah. Yogito, he started his church with his mother-in-law. Yeah. The two of them started the church. Only that in Korea the woman is not allowed to be pastor tradition. So he was the pastor very was like and she was always telling him do this. He was always crying with his mother name he. Was. Strong. Very. Strong pastor, yeah, 3G first day. So call him one day. She called him any the one day I come for a parent and he was back from his house to come to leave a parent because he was so frightened when she called him on stage. Hallelujah. Everybody started laughing when he was wearing his pajamas, pajamas. The pressure of the mother-in-law. And I tell you, when a woman is very good in a pastoral way, in the preaching to the prayer, I think they are better than, I'm sorry to the brothers. You can come out of certain things. The women are very good, very good at pastoral working, preaching and all these kind of things. But when you don't rise into that, you stay at the level of parallel churches. Is it true? It's not true. So I was very unhappy about that till I read a sexy book. You know what I saw in the book? The book said that a human being never admits and said that when you go to prison you will find the largest collection of innocent people. Everybody. Says you saw them on video that they gave an example of one of the top most killers in American history. He he was arrested and he wrote a note tried to think that he would be shot, but he didn't die. He said now put his conveyed on a rooftop and arrested him. I forgot to tell Al Capone or something. Some guy, when they finally got him, they had, he had a note. He had written his note. That he is. Innocent of all the child, all the things that he had and when he was when the police parallel came to his level. You don't know why. I mean I I, I. Didn't hurt anybody. Meanwhile, that morning, somebody was in a car with a woman in a car with a woman. The police. Just came out. He just took his gun and shot the policeman dead. I mean, that's the kind of person that he was, said he was. I'm I'm. I'm. Harmless. I don't. I don't exit. I have some of you. They ask me why are you partying people? He doesn't even handle you. You're a fool. Or no, That's the children. So what? I'm rather. Then I began to understand the ladies, why they never admit anything. Because I realize how everybody is like the prison the rest of of Christ. Are you listening So sisters, if you can come out of your the one that says I want to never allow them to be leadership those Father church. I'm going to show you if you want Abraham's blessing. One of the things you don't have to you when I come here, are you there? So I want to see the sisters in Australia, I want to see what rise and Papua New Guinea in Fiji and all around. I want to see past Test. I want to see past Test in your suit in the past Test. What do you think, lady Busters? This is a good thing and you're such. A preacher, everybody. See, you need more love in your heart. A lot of ladies don't have love, I. Was like God don't laugh you. Love only your husband and your two children. Without expanding your heart, expanding your ability to love, no, you can never give away from God. You need a big to. Bring more people than just you and your husband or you and your beloved God loves. One day I went to a certain church. No, I went to visit somebody, a certain lady and I asked my sister, why are you not? This was one of these countries. I went to this. I said, why are you not coming to church? You know what she said? She said you're women, you're women. Have fun or the other women. But the the pastor was the lady. Lady pastors in the church. They've sacked everybody who's not their friend. Only their friends are left. Only the ladies, only their friends are left in the church. By their eyes and their attitude, Yeah. So pastors here, he's strong. Don't allow people to suck people in. The church. One day a certain person came to his church. His wife was sitting in the front smiling, looking like an Angel and he caught her and saw her looking like a sweet Angel get up. Behaving that. So Abraham was a man of great courage. So I want you to be strong brothers, a man. Strong and. Be ready to. Step. Forward and to whatever danger there may be. Many years ago when I started in the ministry, I was in danger of not passing my medical exams because I was doing combining. It was in danger, real danger, because of that. I wouldn't, I wouldn't drive my car through the hospital campus. And I tried to hide all my active activities because they don't like me to do anything else. You are doing medicine. If you tell this I mean nothing. That is a very serious 'cause they love to learn more. You can't combine it with things. Yeah. And here I was combining it with starting the church and it's like. You will see one day. 1. Day. I was of the ward and the lecturer was taking us from the ward and he asked us a question. He got to a certain patient and he asked a question. Do you see the guy that guy who drives the Volvo? See they didn't know your ass. See the guys that guy who drives the Volvo, he trampled here, he said they had an exam with that particular patient. So he trampled here, he trampled. That means that he he, he failed his exam at this point because with medical school exam, you do exam with the patient life that's all about writing essays life. You should. You should like trampled. Here you trampled here. I was thinking about my soul. I was the one driving the Renault and my temp was coming. The guy who tried to go was driving here whenever the Renault was good to happen to him. I was always hiding my car. I was hiding the church, hiding everything. But I never moved the church to a public place to like qualify for medicals. When I qualify for medicals for the 10th of March 1989. Then in June, we moved the church from a hidden position to an open position in the canteen. I waited until I qualified from the school before I moved the church to the canteen because of that thing. It's very dangerous because when you're having a medical they can just ask you something. You will not. Pass. You won't pass. You won't move from that question. One time I, I did an exam and I was, I had done well. I didn't know I done well. I had done well. I had already had a distinction. There were three subjects. I had already had a nobody had a that man. Then the next one I was also going to get credit or distinction or whatever. So when I they didn't want me to get it. So he asked me what he said. What are the causes of soft? I mentioned every including gorilla and yes he was really looking for one Rep. They didn't ask anything. They just stood on that gorilla to the end. OK bye bye. What type of exam? I have already passed. If I was to perform just a little bit, I would have called it to another zone. They didn't want it because they don't want you to pass. You don't pass. Right. And then that you feel that. Are. You listening to me, that was real danger for me. Ministry always involves real danger. Working for God involved. When you give your tithe, there's a danger that you will not be able to pay your bills. When you keep offering, there's a danger, there's a danger, there's a danger. There's always danger. But Abraham was courageous, Amen. And he went out there and he fought and he succeeded. Hallelujah. And God bless him, Amen. All right, it's breakfast time, isn't it? OK, what time is breakfast 8 And what time is it 5 minutes to 8? OK, we have 5 minutes. Then after his return. So who is the man? God bless his number one. First one is 1. Obedience And the second one is 1. Separate himself from certain people, isn't it #3 Who is the one? He's the place where God wants him #4 He operates in the 4th dimension and #5 He does what He builds altars and sacrifices #6 he continues to follow the law #7 He's not changed by riches. Wow, that was a very important one. How many are not going to be changed by Australian riches? Are you ready to oh, I want to have millionaires around. Amen. I want you a millionaire. I don't have to come to your house because the pastor will say. Bishop, this place is a. Millionaire, you have to go and visit him. Why should I come to visit him? Because you are rich. I don't have to visit you because you have my name. You. You have to honor me because God has honored me.
