Welcome to track #3 Mission America. Want to go to more deserts? Hallelujah. All right. What time is your lunch? Is it evening? It's dinner time, all right. We are not supposed to stress ourselves. So it's time. It's time for your dinner now. All right, now before we go for dinner, I want to show you some things that you must do with the ministry that you have received. Amen. And then after that you eat and there we go. Hallelujah #1 All the messages have points #1 do not become wary of the ministry. Second, excuse me, Second Corinthians chapter 4, verse one. Therefore, seeing we have this ministry as we receive mercy, we faint not. Don't be tired of ministry. Amen. Because what happens is that sometimes we are tired ourselves of ministry because ministry is tiring. Amen. It's tiring. Ministry is tiring. Is that not true? It's true. Yes. Ministry is tiring. So a pastor can easily be tired of his ministry. Why? Why is it tiring? Take what I'm preaching to you. Do you think that I don't know what I am preaching to you? Huh. Do you think I don't know what I'm preaching to you? I must know it. Do you think I have not said what I am saying before? That is even more tiring. Look, one of the most difficult parts of the ministry is as you have to say the same thing again. You know if you preach 3 services, by the time you get to the third service, even if there are only 10 people who were in the service before, their presence can make you so tired. Just 10 people from the other service who are present is the most exhausting experience to have the presence of even a barrister or a pastor. Especially pastors, Yes, I'm telling you. And when somebody is familiar with you, you talk to the person and the person say, this is what he said at what do you call it? This is what he said at yeah, this, he said this. That's why I don't do live streaming and I don't do podcasts for camps. Some of the camps now, Oh yeah, there are people even when you are preaching, you are even going to tell a story which 98% of the people don't know. That person will even say it before you say it and spoil the preaching for everybody and even kill the spirit of the person who's been. It's very tiring. Not that the person will do it though. It is Ezekiel 33. Put it back that verse. It is like a song. The person is taking the message like a song. It's like a lovely song. Who is the one doing the thing there first, baby, thou art unto them like a very lovely song. So the presence of the people. So if you if you if you listen to if you listen to somebody preaching like me, you know, and there are times you know before then hymn even once I remember he I met him. Forget about all what what I'm saying, but certain things that crisis that he was going through his ministry, because I used to watch him a lot. I would know. I would know when he was having problems by just watching the television. I remember when I saw this man is in a crisis. I had no idea. In fact, when he it was announced that he was divorced, I was one of the most surprised people in the world. I don't know anything personal about him before. Yeah, but I always used to know. So this man has a problem. This man has a crisis. But when you listen to somebody, you can know. Even when I listen to Kenneth Hagin, I know when he's going to preach about some things, and I know he's not going to preach about certain things. I mean, you sort of get to know the person. If you listen to me preaching, those who listen, when you listen to certain camps, you know that certain people are not there. That's why the flow is a certain 100%. It's true. It's very tiring, especially if you are preaching to people that have heard you again and again and I'm not doing what you are saying. And you ask yourself, what are you again to say to the people? You need a singer to come and sing for you. Break for music, Yes. Are you there or you're going home? So you can get tired of it. You can get tired of preaching, tired of pastoral work. You cancel people about their marriage and they will not do it. Even Major Mepho, in fact, one of my greatest surprises, though he always have energy for marriage causly hold his, his, his roll, his roll, his marriage man, when he's working with it like that. And one day he told me, you know, these days I don't have time for some of these things. You know, I just preach one key. I think he told me that because I've also been preaching one key acceptance, the key of acceptance. I was surprised. I said you, you who have just so much time for this marriage counseling thing, because you know, the people, you are talking to them, they will not do it. They will not do it. But you keep on doing, keep on teaching. So ministry, you can get tired and then people are not grateful. You see, like I remember when I came here some years ago, I remember it was a camp. I really felt like these people, they don't appreciate, they don't understand what it means to come here. That was just after September 11th. The week after also, when I came here, I came to preach, what is your life? Some people from here to here, they didn't come. I said, look, in those days, to sit on a plane, it was very scary. Even in America, soldiers with AK47 were standing at the Washington airport. Yeah, just after 911, a few days after I had already arranged the camp, so I had to come. You think I'm not a human? I was fighting out of my socks. I was terrified. So on the plane you are thinking, hey, and I'm thinking me too. I also look like a Palestinian. So the person looking at me say hey, as soon as I get up, I get up in the plane, I look, I say that all of them are looking at me. Yeah, what a shock. What a shock, you know, So my friends, I tell you, and many of the things that I said at that time, a lot of people just didn't, just ignored what I said and just did whatever. So you just, you just get tired of it. So the Bible is telling us, don't be wary if you've received a message. And I cannot be tired. Yeah, that's why I'm having. That's why I'm having a camp here. That's why I'm having a camp here. I'm hoping that my message will bypass all familiar arrows and catch one or two. My camp when I came here. What is your life? I got one person, Serena, who works for me. If not for anything, it's worth it. Yeah, she has really served me well. Yeah. Because, you know, sometimes a camp, you get only one person to obey. I can preach and preach every way. I have to entertain the message, have sliced for you, toasted, done everything, you get it whether you will do it. But I know I must not be tired. There must be missions and maybe out of this preaching. Wow. Of course, I remember when I came once to America, I said, you know, we must move out of East Coast. That is when after that David and Cole left, everybody sort of moved out. It was as if they want to obey, but they obey. Yeah. And the next time we are having a camp, we are not going to have in Chicago or New York area. We are going Dallas, those types of places. If you come, don't come. It's up to you. Yeah. Of Memphis, it's true. If you can be, be yours now going down there, are you listening? So let us not be tired. Don't be tired of prayer. Don't be discouraged of the ministry. Don't be wary of giving tithes. So, but I've given tithes. I've not become a millionaire because God has not intended you for you to become a millionaire. Just serve the Lord. Just be faithful to God. Amen. Can I have a better Amen? Yeah. You cannot follow the encouragement of human beings to know, to carry on doing the work. Yeah. You know, I counsel people so much. Sometimes I see people walking around holding model marriage. They don't even know that I wrote. They don't know what is involved to do that book. But it's not an ordinary book. Yeah, they don't know. Not a word. I don't get whatever. But one day I met somebody who really appreciated me for that book. Yeah, I was surprised. I just met one person appreciated me. He said when you I might said preach this, I said, oh, it's not a Marxer. I know it's not a Marxer, man. You preach it from this book. Wow. So along the line, God may show you a glimpse or two, but the real reward is in heaven. God will reward you. So for me, if God gives me life, I intend to persist. You will be tired before I'm tired. You'll be tired of what I'm saying, and I will say it. You see, now, you see, I've turned to the pastors and I'm charging them with mass murder. But I'm telling them suspended charge. And I'm telling them, look, charge the people under you, which is new. You see that? You haven't heard that before. I'm telling you, and I gave you the example of Pastor Quico. I said be like that. Send the people. Yeah, everywhere. There is nothing like a small church in Lighthouse. There's no church. There's no small church here. Every church, 5 people three. We are very happy. They should laugh at us. They will be laughing at the back of their heads soon. People have laughed at us for years. Are you? Are you, Are you not used to it by now? There is minshe in the church. You understand what I mean? Minshe. It means happiness. There is minshe in the church. They say we are young and easily impressionable. No problem. There is Misha in this church. Tell somebody I'm teaching you a new language, Misha. There is Misha in the church. It means happiness. What does it mean? Is that? Is that no joy? Wow. King James Version joy. Don't be tired. Don't be tired of me. Because a time may come. You may wish that I will come and that I will talk. You wish just a good time. Yeah. So don't be tired. He's talking too, too long. Why don't you miss? I wish he would talk, but maybe I won't talk anymore. So I wish he would talk. Oh, what does it? You wish he would come? You know, and, and you know, one of the things that I've noticed about myself is that I am very spiritually sensitive to familiarity as soon as I smell it. I just sort of switched off all the places that I have camps. I stopped having camps without ever having a meeting that I won't have a camp. There's nothing like a meeting me Maybe Bishop started so that I shouldn't go to, let's say, the UK to have a camp. I haven't been to the UK to have a camp for some time. Yes. I've not been there. Yeah, I haven't been there. Why are you always going to London? You like the Londoners? Bishop Joel is one of those who used to accuse me of that. You like the Londoners, You like the Londoners. You like this London people. You are always going there. I haven't been there. I don't know what they are also going to say. I like America, Bishop. He likes America. There's Misha over here. Tell somebody I'm teaching you a new word. It's a new language. Misha. There is Misha in the church. Miss Joy, Happiness. There is Misha in the church. Wow. Yeah. Don't be angry with us because we are happy. No, I want to encourage you. Be very careful of familiarity. Don't be tired. Don't be tired of listening to me preach. And don't be afraid or tired of messages that you think you don't obey. Those are the ones you just put it on. Be fearless. Yeah. This yeller that's also I'll play. No problem. I know what you are saying. But I'm afraid. I'm afraid of the message. I'm not afraid of the message. I'll play. Yeah. Explain all messages this way. I can't obey. No, don't be afraid. There's no message you be afraid of. Don't be afraid of. Don't be wary of. Don't say this one is having. No, no, it Don't be afraid of you. Put it on. Yes, yes. You'll be surprised. Look, there are many things going to have have a way of helping you to obey the word of God. Sister, are you happy? You. You're happy. We must be happy here. You have water here to make people happy. Where's the water? This. This sister doesn't look very happy. We will help you to have the mission. The mission? Anybody with a swollen face, report the person immediately so that we can encourage the person. You must cherish, listen, you must cherish the moment and not become weary and tired of the opportunity, of the opportunity that you have. You must value value. No, no, that's what I thought I said. I said my sister. In the minshe, are you experiencing minshe? In the church, there must be minshe. Yes, there must be minshe must cherish every second. And I said I'm tired and you make your heart. What do you mean? Sing it, sister, let's. Take a walk together with our Savior Jesus, hand in hand, he and I. Come on now. Let's cherish every moment Jesus gives to us. I must cherish the love of God. I must cherish the grace of God, go, cherish his mercies, cherish His blood, cherish the cross of Christ. I must cherish the chance I have, and I must cherish the whole of God, cherish the time I have to work, cherish these times of praise. The world is lost in darkness. No one seeks for God, but Jesus died to save the world. So many lost and died, they never heard of Jesus. Can I help to tell them world, to smile, to pray when I kneel down by my best sight? I ask the Lord to help me to obey his callings. If I could just leave the Lord. I must cherish the love of God. I must cherish the days of God. Oh, cherish it first. You cherish his blood. Cherish the cross, the cry. I must cherish the child I have. I must cherish the core God, Cherish the child. I have to learn. To do the will of God can't in hand you and the Lord don't think that you can walk away from your regional calling. You must cherish the love of God, you must cherish the praise of God for God, cherish his birthday, cherish his life, cherish the cause of Christ. You must cherish the chance you are and you must cherish the cause. Cherish the time that you have to cherish these times. There is the church #2 You must take heed to the ministry that you've been given, Amen. Which means pay attention. Colossians chapter 4, verse 17, say to Archipus, take heed to the ministry which thou has received in the law that thou fulfill it, Amen. We must pay attention to the ministry. I want you to pay attention not only to your job, but pay attention to ministry, to becoming a great minister of Jesus Christ, a greater and better minister of the gospel. If you are a lady, a good lady, you'll see my lady bishops very soon. Yeah, you watch and see. I tell you, for me there's neither male nor female in Christ. Chali, if you can do the work, Chali, all that we want is to work for the Lord so that there will be minshe in the church. Yeah, I'm telling you, say to Archipus, take it, pay attention. You know, look, ministry is something you can give yourself to develop, develop yourself in preaching, in visitation, in counseling. The four things that make you a pastor, Pvci, prayer, visitation, counseling, interacting with the people. Because interacting is very important. You can't be a Moody person and be a pastor just sitting there in your moods. Just say quietly, even as you are sitting by your neighbor, you're not asking what is your name. Don't develop a bad attitude in the church. Be humble. So look, just introduce yourself to to to to to to your neighbor and and tell the person your name. You sit by somebody at a camp, they could be your future beloved or your future husband. Out of your moodiness, you don't meet the right people. Amen. Pay attention. Everybody say pay attention, Pay attention. That means you must, you must give some time to develop yourself in the ministry. When I went to Korea, I saw before, before I realized I saw Kojolinze in Korea. I said, hey, what are you doing here? He has come to develop himself in the ministry. He's not a full time pastor. Yeah, he's not a holiday. He didn't come for a holiday before I realized he was in Korea. He said, hey, what are you doing here? He said, I've heard that there is Visha in Korea. Yeah. What what do you do to develop yourself in the ministry? Pay attention to your your special calling. You have to cherish the opportunity. Look, in my experience there, all the people that have had the opportunity to be close and to work in the ministry and have lost it, they really, really regret it. And especially people who despised the opportunity to be close. You see, sometimes circumstances will not let you because but like let's say you play, you trifled with it and then it was taken away from you or it vanished. It really pains them over the years and it is not easy to be close to somebody who was close to you but has despised it. Even when a person comes, you just say oh you are welcome, you see that, go and sit over there. It's not easy because you open your heart, you open your home, you open your life. Be near me and see all my weaknesses and my problems. Because when you come close to somebody, you will see not only the perfections, but you will see the person has also problems. Problems, difficulties. Everybody is a human being. Yeah. Over the years I've been going to Korea. We'll go. Doctor Chu will explain why he's not feeling well. We should pray for him. Yeah. When you get close, you see, I play golf with him. He think to walk on the golf course. 2 You know, the caddies in Korea are ladies. That's why I say ladies. There's nothing you cannot do. Yeah. Two of them have to hold him like this. Yeah. To walk to where the the ball is. And then now he goes back. Yeah. But he plays. You know, it's not just that you should play. You must play. Yeah. And small, small, small fellowship. When you get close, you start to see he's anointed, but he's also a human being that is anointed. When you trifle with that and you mishandle it, it's not easy to get it back again. The person will say, oh, you, when I made you come and play golf with me. Later he went to say that I have a lot of money and I give a lot of money to my caddy because I'm rich. Why did you say that? One day I went somewhere, I was eating. Then there was a lady who was sitting there. Look that she said, you know, it seems you are. You are, you are fussy. Yeah, he said. You seem to are fussy. I said I am fussy. Look at what you are telling me. Because I made the mistake of letting you sit here. When I'm sitting here to eat. You are telling me that I'm the food that you eat. Do I say something about it? The crabs you are eating, do I say something about it? The animals that you eat, do I make any comments about it? The goat head that you are boiled and you are eating it. So I said something about it. I made the mistake of letting you sit there when I was eating. Yeah. So you, you you must, you must value treasure. Like I suppose we are having it. You must treasure it. When it, when it stops happening, you look at it and say, Bishop, we wish, yeah, we wish you, you always come and be talking. We like it when you talk a lot, even the same point you'll be saying is that we like it. Yeah, we enjoy it. We didn't know we were enjoying it. Later we saw that we were enjoying it. But you see, there was Misha in the camp. But now you may, you may, you may not know what you are losing by this pies. And it's like that one, the person is gone. You say that I am fussy, then you are what? Food that you eat, you beat it like this. You know there's a food that they beat like this before it's eaten. You can't chew it, you have to swallow it. Something that is beaten, beaten for a long time before you eat it. That's why it's not fussy. They're joking. So pay attention, pay attention to ministry. Take it serious because the person can see is talking to you, but you're not taking it serious like the commandos. To me, the commandos, we are not serious. We're a group of and serious people. Yes, that is how you are to me. Because you can say, oh, yeah. Bishop. Bishop, man, we love the Lord. Man. That's what to do. Shelley. All these years are caused by there's nothing, nothing. Just talking ass. There's nothing out of you that's true. I may be wrong. I'm talking about the wrong group. Is it true or it is not true? You have an impression that you are doing something, but actually you are doing nothing. Pay attention to your ministry. For me, I've invested in books, tapes. There is no man of God. Once I like your ministry, I have all your books and all the material that you have possibly have. I have it. And the kind of archives that I have, I know very few pastors who have you mention his name. If I is somebody that I, I whatever, I can show you archives. Yeah, all of them. So you better pay attention to the ministry. Better start investing in books. Invest in a beloved who is similar, has a similar mind, not in an empty minded person who is not going anywhere in the ministry. Yeah, invest in that. Pay attention to it. Pay attention to your vision. Please pay attention to your dream. As you are taking a new job, think about the vision God gave you and this job you are going to get. What is it going to help you to fulfill the vision? There's nothing you know, even careless. There's no interest at all in in the ministry. Pay attention to it #3 fulfill the ministry. Complete it. Complete it all of you pastors who are here as late pastors, you have been able to establish a church. 20 people, 30 people, 40-50 hundred. Whatever number you have, your ministry is not fulfilled until you have products that will be able to continue the church upon your departure from this system, this wealth. Suppose you go away suddenly, what is the continuation? Look at me, which part of the church will not be able to go on without me? Is it the Kodesh? No, even camps? I used to be the only person doing camps and I remember when I told Bishop Eddie to come and have a question. No, no, no how. You are the only person who does camp. It's as precious. I said no. When I answered all I said I can never do camps for everywhere. Start doing camps. And he started doing camps. Branches America, you have your own Bishop and more bishops. Whether I'm here or not, the church is working. But what about you? Is that your branch? The young person in the church? You have relegated him to driving cars. Drive a car here, go here, come here, go. And he knows everything. He can do a lot of things. Yeah. Sorry, people. People have watched videos. People do a lot of things but we don't allow them and there is no children. People who are look, they make themselves when it comes to the work of Goddess the Vadnais that you've known and learned from videos and what have yous, YouTube and Internet. Please, if you know all these things in the world, don't tell me that you can't do ministry at your age. Don't tell me that one day I was doing marriage because one of my young people was getting married. Now I appreciate all their weddings, and I counseled them too. So these ones were getting married, two of them. The brother who was getting married was a virgin, but the girl who was getting married was not a virgin. She had been out in town before. So now I'm telling you a story. Listen to my story. Are you still listening? So I spoke to the brother, the two of them. I said, brother, are you not intimidated by this experienced sister? He smiled at me. I've never seen such a confidence. He smiled at me. He said, Bishop, the pornography that I have watched is more than any experience. Yeah, in the past, he said. In those days, in those past, not, not now. In his past, he said What is in my head is more than any experience, whatever. So he said she must rather watch out. She must rather watch out. She must rather watch out because I'm coming. I'm coming to get her. You see, what I'm trying to say is that young people, they know everything when it comes to certain areas. They are experienced. They know anything about everything and anything about everything when it comes to the church. They say, oh, we are the young people in the church. We have to do dancing and certain films. We are going to do certain films in the church. Look, you are equally capable of preaching. I was 18 years old. I was preaching, I was teaching, I was working. We were young and we were preaching, teaching, ministering, doing everything. Don't bring this young boy whatever thing we cannot have. No, no, no, no, no, no. No. Yeah, You know every bad thing in the world. I said one day I was with some young boys and girls. They were doing marriage counseling. I was listening, watching. They were demonstrating grown up wives. And no, we're all sitting there. They jump and you're not married. This is what you do. I say aye, wow. Why should such a person not be able to be a missionary and go to some other country? That is why when you see the people, you are preaching to them preaching. And you will not take a step. You will not make a move. You will not step out and do what God wants you to do. And you have a reason for it. It doesn't hold water with me. Yeah, that's why I want you to pay attention. I want you to take heat to the to the ministry. It is a real thing God has given you. You can sit on it and die with it. That you will regret. You regret that you didn't believe your visions. You will regret that you didn't believe your your dreams, that you didn't fulfill your ministry, not even fulfill you didn't even start. And those of you who have already started, make sure you finish. Let us assume you will die this year. Are you ready to die and leave your church? Andy, Who is going to look after your church? Have you thought about it? You have somebody to look after your church? Who is that a guy? Is he a pastor? How old is he? He's in his 30s. So you are keeping him under you? Why have you not brought him out? Have you told him to go out on a mission? I should send him. You see, he has hidden that guy. There's a guy called Wasefa. He has hidden the guy in his chest. I don't know about him. He should bring out those guys. Only one. There's only one guy in your chest. And who else? Message you See, now I'm finding out the guy, the guys that these are the people I want to hear about. Yeah. You have covered them, have covered them. Why don't we send them out, Send them to town, Try something, do something. Tell them. Listen to Bishop. Have you listened to All Out? Have you listened to others? Go on the mission? So that's when you practical things. You learn it. Yes, this is what I want you to do. Then you'll be fulfilling your ministry. Liturgy. Do you understand what I'm saying? You'll be fulfilling your ministry. I want to see your children, your spiritual children, offspring who are becoming missionaries. Remember Me and you. But I don't know about you, but me. I've never been a missionary to any country before. Have you been a missionary to any country before? Small town in Ivory Coast. You were sent there as a missionary after school. Then you came to America when the war started. Then you came. OK. Yeah. You can send people. Are you there? Are you his children? Some of them. You see the children of this one? Hey, George. Yeah. We want to see young boys and girls. Are you from Liberia? Any of you from Liberia? Liberia. OK. You should watch some Liberia films. How many have you watched? A Liberia. Liberia film I showed you before I watched it. Your hands are painting. That's why you cannot lift it. OK. Hey, man, are you listening? Yeah. I want to see places, people. You need to do the work of God. Pastor, fulfill your meaning. You know, one day I was going. I took myself. I said I'm good to wait on the Lord. I went with my Bible, my everything that I was going to pray for 3rd truth. And when I entered the house where I was going to stay to pray, then I heard the voice of the Lord say pray that you will fulfill your ministry. No not fulfill, pray that you will finish. I became afraid. Finish it. Pray that it was like many things you have started and you are doing that are not finished. Pray that you will finish it before you die. That's all. I pray for about 5 days. I was there one week, I don't know how long. Only pray that I will finish it. You see, you can start, but you don't finish. Yeah. I was talking to Richard Roberts and he said he took over his father, handed over his the school to him when he was 1368 years old. And then he was, I don't know how old he was. And. And he said, he told me his father died with a broken heart. But they've taken the school from them. Yeah. Many pastors die with a broken heart because what they came to do, either they didn't finish or they're any twisted and something happened it didn't complete. Yeah, so. So for me, you know, that's why I appoint pastors. I want to look if, if, if I don't see South America filled with churches. I feel I have not obeyed. I have not fulfilled God. That's what I'm encouraging you. But I can't go there myself. If I go right, it's going to affect some others. I have to stay at the place that I should be. Yeah, and all the states in America. If I, if I die without saying, what are some of the states we don't have churches, Not South Carolina, Indiana. I mean, the people in Indiana, are they ghosts? Are they animals? Why don't we? Why can't you move from where you are just to Indiana? Sorry, to Indiana? Why can't you move? How is it difficult? Will you die if you go there? But you see some just the effort. That's one. That's why we talk about. Pay attention, give in. What will, what will happen to you? What bad thing will happen to you? Look, as soon as we finish the car, those of you who have suspended charges over your life, better get yourself together and start analyzing your people and say, brother, move and speak to them. Look at me. I have done something. Each one of you. I know you. You have all done something. You cannot tell me you have not done something. You've been another church. You, you started. I don't want to start at the airport church, The church that you started. They are about to build a building into a cathedral. That church, the same church. Yes. You, you, you have all done something. You've all done something. Is there some follow up on you? Oh, it ends with you. Is it ending with you? You. I mean, look at your age. Is it about you? Just you. There is a very short lived ministry and it does not remain. Jesus said I have obtained you, chosen you that your fruit would abide. Is that your fruit will remain? Yeah. And you see, you think I'm older. You are not much younger than me. If I'm older, some of you are older than me and we are not like let's say 20 years, there's nothing like that. These ones, I'm 20 years older than them. But for us, we are a similar age, Yes, five years, four years, six years, It's about the same group. So what about the people below? I was expecting to meet a lot of young people that have been made pastors in America. Bishop, where are the new young pastors? Do you have are they here? Stand up? They are doing what? They are coming up through which Rd. Which Rd. are they coming up? Where are they coming through? I wish I would say young pastors when I say this. Commando, one of them was here you come, come. What's your name? Bernard Efraim. Why is Efraim not a pastor yet? He's not serious. You are not serious. Somebody should pour water on this guy. Fire. OK, You are not serious. You don't know what they mean. Hey, the lady I challenge you. Kojo, do you know this guy? He doesn't know what Bishop Joel is saying. Who is his pastor? Where's Doctor Kwame? Is he serious? Bring me Coca-Cola. I will practice him with two. Shall I show him mercy? Mercy suspended. I think when we have shown mercy, what are you supposed to do? Mercy. And after the mercy, what are you going to do? You will work for who? The Lord. OK, Based on the spies who were sent and they caught them and they release them to work and they work, may you be as good as those spies. Jesus name. Drink it. I'm expecting to see something good from this young man. Where are the other commandos? Stand up. Where? Where are they? They don't even want to get upset. They all stood up. Now they don't want to get up. Come, come. All of you. Come. Stand here. 1234. Why? Why are you not pastors yet? Why are you not pastors? Are you married? You are also not a pastor. Stand this way. Are you a pastor? You are not the pastor. Is it that the pastors are inhibiting you? You are preventing them from becoming ministers? Yeah. What? Nanakwami. Who is Nanakwami? So you are just like nice people around the world. You are just nice people put the best there. Ezekiel. Put the best there. I am like a lovely song, isn't it? How many camps have you been for? How many camps have you been for? Mention the camps you've been for and healing Jesus conferences mention. Mention the names of the camps. Moses. An associate. Moses, an associate. Was it a camp here? OK. Volante. Camp Volante Predestination. Destination Strong. Right, Sisters and partakers? No, I didn't. You are a sisters and partakers. So you are not a pastor yet? Oh, So what are they doing here? Where's the bus who can come and take them to the to the house? You are working, but your pastors have not appointed you. Could it be that maybe the pastors, you are the ones who have inhibited them from becoming ministers? They look mature. You know about sex. You know you know about it. I didn't say whether you are married. I said you know about sex. What about you? Do you know about it? Yes. What about you? You know about it and you, you know about it and you too. You know about it. You know the styles that are done. You know about styles. Pardon. Yes, you know, and you are not married, but you know such a thing and you, you know the marriage school. Are you, are you mocking me? What's the, what's the, what's we're in marriage school. You know it from the marriage school. You just started the marriage school and you say, you know, all these things that is done at the end. It's done at the end of the marriage school. Oh, why? Look at these people. So, pastors. Could it be that the pastors are the ones preventing them? Doctor Kochow, what do you think? Yeah, I don't know why. I can't understand why this one. Are you not the one who plays the trumpet or the saxophone? And you must have been in church for about 15 years or 20 years and you are not yet ministering the words, the words that you are hearing? Or are you in ABS? You don't, You don't. Well, you don't do the exams. You do the exams. They don't have the points. They don't have points. I'm going to go on the website to see all your I need all your names. I want to see your status on the website. You are lying to us that you are in marriage can see what has made you know things. Sally, how many think is the pastors who are them who are preventing them from becoming lift, Lift your hand. How many things are they themselves? How many things? Neither. What I'm saying makes sense. It's a combination. How many things is a combination? Fast as you see, they are accusing you of preventing their full release in the ministry. Why can't somebody go to LALA? Why not? Why can't somebody go to Hawaii? Why not? How many years will we wait? Do we have to beg? OK, We beg you. We beg you to go. I'm begging on behalf of Jesus and the souls that are waiting. Please go. Please go into the world and win the lost. We beg you. Will you go? I should lie down. Next time. What? By the next time I come, I'll be so happy. If the next time I come you are not at the camp. So because you are in LA and you couldn't fly, Yeah, that would make me very happy. Or in Missouri or in Hawaii. And you really have money to buy a ticket to come. I'll be very happy to hear that you have, you know, so much. You've been for Volante and what every camp except in America. What are the names? What are the names of the camps? Most of the associates take up your cross volante predestination tasters and partakers. What is your life? What is your life you've been to? You've been to every camp. That alone will give her 500 points on the Is it true? So how come she doesn't have 700 points? Why does she not have 7? Are you on ABS? How many points do you have? Her husband. Where's your husband? He's just a little branch. What is going on? You see, that's why I was charging the parcel with mass murder. Yeah. Ladies, are you not all praying to be married? Tell the truth, somebody to like you, isn't it? Yeah. If you are more spiritual and more into the ministry, you'll be more beautiful. People will just look your way like this. And at this very time you see that you get a beloved. Listen, there must be missions. There must be missions. Are you going to do the will of the Lord? I don't know what I'm preaching. I don't know pastors. What about Canada? I don't know any other person who's becoming a pastor in Canada. Meanwhile, there's too many. Are they here? One. Who is that Mensa? Stand up. So there's no other person become a pastor in the whole of Canada apart from 1234 Ernest who cannot go somewhere. What is the point of coming to listen to all these fantastic messages? Is it a lovely song with no implication? But we don't even need to be a pastor to start a church. Why? Why are they not sent out to try to start a church? How do you think the churches started? Where is David? How do you think the church in Minneapolis started? Are there some Minneapolis people here? Yeah. How do you think he started? Where? Where were you before in Philadelphia? He was happily there. I don't even know whether he was a pastor when we sent him to Minneapolis. You see, part of the ministry is going. If you actually don't go, nothing happens. You can have the theory, the theory, the theory, the theory, but to actually do it by going is where almost everything begins. No one is a ready made fruit bearing minister. Going matures you. You learn on the job. You know when I played golf with Yong Echo, I asked him is that something you will advise me not to do and he said there is nothing I can advise you not to do because we learn by falling. That was the only advice he gave me on the golf course. We learn by falling and making mistakes. So I can't advise you not to do it. You have to do it. What you do, you will see the mistakes that you make. You learn by falling. So when you do, you fall, you make a mistake, then you know it better. I mean, what about Canada? But there are more towns, Montreal, Ottawa. You think that some of the people in your churches could not go to this place and try a marine force too much to start a church? Pastors, You see, I'm charging the pastors. I am suspicious of the fact that, but these people, I know them. I'm suspicious of the Father. It is the pastors, people who are actually pastors here, starting with Bishop Joel and the rest of you that are actually suppressing these people. Yes. I, I don't see why she's not a lady pastor in the chair. You see even the fact that they come, you see that the people who want to come, some people don't want to come. They don't care if they come or they don't come. I tell you, it takes time and money to come here. More than half of you flew here. Yeah. You see, it's also a difference. At first, we used to have camp only in the Northeast. You know, it's like a lot of people there. Now we are in the middle. The next one, we are going further. Yeah, But I'm not going to come unless these people are dispersed. Oh, yeah. This is the blast camp. I'm just going to wait so I hear good news from you. If I don't hear good news, you will see. You will listen to podcasts. And I tell you, yes, that's true. Yeah. Where's Nadia? She she always can't make it. Why? Why is she not here? Is she a pastor? Why is she not a pastor? I would have made Nadia a pastor a long time ago. She's my sheep, my personal sheep. And I've made Nadia a pastor a long time ago. Long time ago. Why is she not a pastor? Nadia can pastor a church. Yes, You see, I'll tell you, if you don't release people you don't send, people you don't trust, people you will not see, but all the people that are here, look, even Pastor Joel, not even that release or Trahis rather, he told me, he said I am allergic. He said I'm allergic to this subject of becoming a pastor. But I came back. I bounced back to life. Yeah, that's what I said. Don't be wary. I'm not tired of you. You are tired of me. I'm not tired. All these people, I don't know why they are not. Not that you should be called pastor. Pastor what? Venice. No. But you should be preaching. Preaching. You think you can't preach by now? Oh, what? But what are you doing? The same town, the same church should be out there starting. Some of you. Our churches are going to be bigger than these pastors. Don't tell them I told you. Louisa, where's your church, Orlando? Do you have any young person there? What about your even your children? I'm sure your children are coming up now. And are there so many young people? Is anybody here from Orlando? Where are Orlando people? Hey, been around and the ladies. You trust the ladies? Susan Susanne, a pastor, LP Susanne, We are all in the same church. You started another one. OK. Hey, I'm Marika. This person. I didn't come to raise fans, so I came to raise churches. I want to save. I want to save missions. I want to see missions. I want to see churches. I want to see missions. I want to see churches. Yes, I want to see missions. Amen. Who is the one saying send us? Yeah, I'll send you. I'll send you. Another thing that makes pastors tired is Orangus. If there's anything that is painful and worrisome, it's when you are dealing with disloyal people. You get tired of it. You're saying, hey, this whole church, I'm tired of it. But we must not be tired. Yeah, we must not be tired. We must press on. Oh, you people, I want to see more. How many realize that we need to see more? I mean, I don't know. It's like all these people. Yeah. As some of you, you are scared. How many young people are scared that you fall into sin as as a young person? There must be hands being lifted up now. There must be hands. Stand up if you are scared. I'm happy that you are standing. Do you know this fear is the fear that I had when I was 20, whatever years old, becoming a pastor, I've always been afraid. You can feel what you are feeling. You say you are a pastor, a pastor with feelings. Are you pure? The devil will ask you, Are you pure? How can a pastor have bad thoughts? How many have had bad thoughts that you'd be surprised that the person next to you is having Wilder thoughts? You know what those thoughts are. Those thoughts are to frighten you. Those thoughts are to frighten you. This is not for you. These are for pure people. Your type is not preaching. No, sit down, sit down. Don't tell you level, sit down, sit down. You have to you have to say no, I must stand up because young people look God. When I saw that script, like 25 to 50, that is when you minister from 25 to 50, I say a young person, 25 to 50. Yeah, 25 to 50. That is the best age for ministry. 25 to 50. Andrew, you believe me, 20, you have feelings and you'll be standing there. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, my God. I remember one day I fasted and I was praying a Lord. By the end of this passing all bad thoughts will be over. But on the last day of the fast, the thoughts became worse, worse than before I even started fasting. And after that, I realized that look, these thoughts, they will never go. If I'm going to follow thoughts and fears, I will never be in the ministry of Jesus Christ. And up till now, I still have fears, thoughts. I have the devil remind me that look, your days are numbered. But I just want to press on. I say no matter what happens, I will do my best. So I want to encourage you. We are girls. We are boys, Tali. Pastor Joe Bishop. I want you to appoint Lady Pastes. Not appoint. Send them to work. There must be. There must be What? Look at this one. Come. I sent him. How old were you when you gave your life to give me a microphone? I was. When you gave your life to cry. You gave your life to cry well. In Kumasi. You were you were working by the roadside. Yes, I was on my way to a drinking bar and. And what were we going to do at the drinking? Bar to go and drink. I was you were a drinker. Yes, I was a serious drunkard and somebody Bishopsaki was having a crusade. It was called E Gospel Crusade and a lady had come gone. They were doing our cars. Also a lady met us with my friend, invited us for the crusade and that's why I gave my life to Christ. Keep your life to Christ, yes. Wow, I was 19 years old. 19 years old see now a crusade a drunk at 19 years old drunk and then after that you you came to church, right I came to church and then. And then one day you came to Kumasi, I joined the Kumasi church and then you came to Kumasi and then you preach a message called the Missionary Church. I preached A missionary church. Like I'm saying, there must be missions. Mission America. You see, I'm not changing the message. I'm not tired of the message. Which year was that? 1999 and I've been in church for just one year. Just one year. Some of you say I'm new, I'm new, I'm new, you are new. Look at the bad things that you do as a new person. When there's something good to do, you remember that you are new. But when it's bad things, you don't remember that you are new. And then I came and I preached. What? You preached on a missionary church in Kumasi and after the message you, you made an utter call to pray for anybody who wants to give himself to do the work of God, to go do machine work or anything. And I mean, I thought I didn't even have a Bible, but I, I just came out and the message was so touching. I was crying, weeping. And some way, somehow, you, you came and you laid your hands on my on my chest, said Lord, use this young man. You were how? Old, I was 20 years, I was 20 years old. And since then the passion started growing until I went to university. And then when I finished university, you sent me art as a missionary. When you finished university? Yes. You just finished? I just finished. You didn't work at the bank? Not at I didn't or. Kigo or MTM any of the places straight you. Invited me and I came and I stayed around for about a year and. You stayed in the office. You were. Working. I was working in the office. What were you doing in the office? I was a vicar. Vicar. I worked at Vicar. What is Vicar? Cleaning. Making sure that the toilets are clean, the place are white, running around, paying bills, moving up and down, locking the doors, making sure the lights are off, they are turned on at the right time and all that. And then after that. Then after that you were in South Africa. Then one day you sent me a test. I mean you had a camp. Then you sent me a test that you are going to Mozambique. Then I replied, that's it. And when you came, some few months after I was, I went to Mozambique. Yeah, he's just come. He's just Where are you flying from? From Mozambique, Maputo, yeah. He's he has a big cathedral in Mozambique today. Yeah. And he preaches talk to the people, Hola Commerce town, Diga Gracias Adej. Hallelujah, Gloria Adej. Hey, man, Amen. Tell us something else. I mean, we want to know that this is a good message that. Yeah, as a pregasao anosa Pai anosa bishu star pregasa pregando pranosh E muiti poderoso. Yeah, E muiti potante prayer 10 mucha credito. I'm saying that the message that our Father is preaching. We don't need to understand. How old are you when you went to when you went to Mozambique I'm. 26 years. 26, How old are you now? 34, Yeah. Yeah. I'll show you his pictures. He bought a building, almost almost $1 million worth of building. There was Imam Putu. Yeah, 26. I sent him a text. You are going to Mozambique 5. Words. Only 5 words in the text. I didn't say hello. How are you? No, you just sent, you are going to Mozambique because I mean, please have come up. So it was still pending. I'm going to Mozambique and some of you are going to Chile. Chile, Argentina. So. Powerful. Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Hawaii, Alaska. Why don't we have a threat in Alaska? One of you should go to Alaska. One of you here who is going to go to Alaska? That's why I was they don't want to go anywhere. They don't want to go anywhere. You enjoy America, you see, nobody can do well. And I sent, I sent a message. I sent a message yesterday. What was it yesterday or two days ago? I said come to America. I just said come to. I'm having that come, Come. I was in Denmark. I said come. I would like to see you just come. And he's come. I haven't bought any ticket for him. He's just come. Did I buy any ticket for him? Yes. Yeah. He's a young man. He's just preaching. He's trying. Your your friends when you were in the world, were they very bad boys were very. In fact, we were five as I'm talking now, I think the, the third one died 2 weeks ago. I mean, I mean by now I, I should have gone first because. Why should you have gone first? Because I was, I was the chief of I was the baddest of all. Is it your friend whose dead? Bodies. One of my friends was called Stephen, One of my friends was called Stephen. And when I became born again after about two years, I met him and he, he looked very sick. So I tried to speak to him about God, about. That the ministry of frequency Asia. By the way, have you had any vision of Jesus had just come to your room before? No, Jesus. Had a vision. One day you sent me a test. I think there was a year that there was a team, the year of angelic visitation or something. So you sent me a test that I would, I would have visions of Jesus. And that night I had a visitation God. Bless, I'm still praying for mine but. To come into the ministry, I've not had any vision to come when the mission failed. It was just a simple test message that you sent to me five ways and that's that's all. Wow. Everybody take your phone and send a text to somebody that you know you are going to and write the name of that town. Maybe it will work tonight. Listen, listen. He's telling us the story. I want him to sit down quickly before you send that text. When you sit down, you send that text. I doubt I will sing for you and you send that text. So I. Listened to this story? I spoke to my friend and encouraged him to give his life to Christ and all that, and he told me that I should come and take him to church on Sunday. So I went there on a Sunday morning. When I got there, he had gone to watch a football match early, early morning, and so he told me that he was not ready to go to church. I forced, I tried, but he wouldn't come. Then I had to go back to school the following day. So I left for campus on Monday. Then Thursday I got the news that he he was gone. He had died. And so he was I mean my friend, a real friend, my bosom friend. So I had to come a week after for the funeral, I mean burial service. And when I came, I mean, to, to my surprise, the area because of the group that we found ourselves in, I mean, we smokers, drunk cars and all those type of things, they took over the, the casket, you know, and they said that. They took their casket from where? From the family, they took their coffin, the coffin, the coffin with the body in it, with the body in it. So when they took the coffin, they said that they were going to give him the Allah salute salutation. Yeah. So they took the body out of the coffin and then somebody put a big bowl of wheat marijuana on, on, on his mouth. At that point somebody had to, they had to call police and all that It was. And they were carrying the body. They carried the body. It was lying on somebody's chest like that. Then somebody was putting marijuana on their lips. And I look at it and I said, this is me. It should have been you. It should have been me. What is? His name? Stephen, Stephen. Stephen. You see salvation, That's why I say I tagged you with murder. Murder. Nothing short of murder. By limiting the ministry and preventing people from obeying the call of God, you are charged with murder because this is a drunkard. He's you see, it's like what we call a control in science. This would have been me and then this is me with Christ and this is me without Christ. To your friend Steven Bayou without crying, he's dead. This little somebody has held the body, running with a dead body, people putting weed in the mouth. That is the kind of crazy person he was. But through Bishop Sakis Crusade, crusade, crusade, somebody passing by, a 19 year old boy said come to the crusade. Come to the crusade and look at him standing here. Look at him standing here, a normal person. It's too fantastic. That's why I say you people, you, you may take it as a lovely song, but it's not a lovely song. It is God telling everyone of us. Look, we have been called and we have received a ministry. It's not about whether you'll be chosen, ordained or not. Yeah, just a text from you. Go to Mozambique, but just go. And today there are hundreds of people in Maputo and you have some people in the Bible school in Ghana. Yeah, I mean, some have. Even friends have started churches. We have 13 branches now. 13 branches wow. So for me, I'll tell you it doesn't in any way limit your life so as your life being destroyed by Kamlesh. I am more blessed. I don't know how to quantify it, but I feel very honored and very privileged. Your friend was carried out of the I mean when you go to funerals, dignified funeral, but this is the most undignified funeral I've ever heard of. They pick you out of the coffin from the funeral where in the family and lift you out and carry you physically and put weed in your mouth to carry you in the area. That's him without Christ, this with Christ, with one crusade, the church. Yeah, thank God. So thank you for your clapping, but I'm expecting something more from you than clapping. Yeah. Pastors, I think you have to have an emergency meeting. Yeah, honestly, you see, one day God told, spoke to me and said to me, you are wretched because you are not sending people. You are not sending the people. And he told me send the people even to bad places. Send people to difficult places. Don't send them only to good places. When I say good, like good in like it's a rich city, there's money there, there's jobs there. So send the people to places. Amazingly, rather people that have gone to some of these places seem rather to have prospects. I'm surprised. It's amazing. Yeah, my, I remember when we, when we got to Mozambique, I was, I was wondering which school would our children go because there was no English school and a few English schools were for the expatriates, you know. And one day I wanted to pray about it, but I just, but she didn't pray about it. She just pray about the work of God will take. Care you have children. Children. How many children? I have three children 3/3. So I've been working hard on the mission. Bishop Amazingly, when it was time for my son to go to school, he he got a scholarship from an American school. In that school they pay $500 every month, not a term every month. So a semester, 4 months and he has been given a scholarship to high school not. Thousands of dollars. An American. You have an American. Yeah, and, and just last year the school called me again. He said that what about your your daughter, Mary Chloe, do you want? Do you want her to come and say why not? They've added her. They've added her to. A man $1000 and I don't pay even $1.00 to high school. Wow. Clap for Jesus, Clap for Jesus. This will be your last camp until you disperse. If you disperse and start the work. Enjoy. Enjoy it nicely. Enjoy the mission. That's it. Yeah. I want to see the people. I want to hear of them. I want them to send them. People come from, where do they come from? To Canada. Do they come from? They're from Asia. I don't know what a lot of Asians who come to Canada. Chinese, Sri Lankans. What about Sri Lanka? We will die in Sri Lanka. Who said you would die in Sri Lanka? You will not die in Sri Lanka. Send them. Be bold, be send us. Pay attention to the ministry. Fulfill your ministry. Amen. Think about it without people going. And you see the people who can go are the young people. He's now 34 and he can speak the language. You preach in English or you're preaching. Preach in Portuguese. Don't. Preach in English. It doesn't preach. Now, if you're a misstanding, you don't preach in the language. It becomes a problem. We don't like it at all. We don't accept it at all. You speak the language. There are more than 200 islands in the Caribbean, 200 islands in the Caribbean. If you don't know what I'm telling you, why wouldn't you go there and do something so that we can visit you there and encourage you don't live your life just trying to make money. After all the money making, what have you got out of all the money making? Where are you? I mean how much do you have What what can you even give when I do fundraising now what do you have to give? It will be as so I'm extracting your tooth. Have you been to a dentist Whether you have taken your tooth to get $1000 out of you. It's not going to be easy here. Do you know how all these churches asked of the Lord? 20 years. We've been doing this thing for 20 years here in America. Yeah, we've been doing this for 20 years. By now. If staying in America would have made people millionaires and very rich by now and have known about it. It's 20 years. This by now, if staying in America makes people millionaires and very rich, by now I should have known about it because I've been coming here for 20 good years. But it does not seem to do that. So even as I'm here, you see there's something more that I desire from you, not money. Thank you for your money. Of course I will ask you to give money. That is not, that is not the issue. But I'm saying that it's more of yourself, and now it's the people under you. I encourage them, you see, like I'm encouraging my own son. Every time he texts me, I'm either here, he says, have you tried Indonesia? Have you tried here? Have you tried anywhere? Oh, he should go. He should go and be there. Yeah, he should go. He should do something. Yeah. Anywhere where there are people. You can live there. You can preach, get a job if you have to get a job before it doesn't. It's not about full time or has a job or whatever. It's about you are doing something I have never. Whether your money comes from the right or the left, it's not the point. But the church gives you money doesn't mean you are in full time. Then my watchman is in full time. Not to employed him but I've not employed the watchman who is my security guy up till today. He employed him when he was in Ghana. Then he's the first full time manager. He's a Muslim. It's not about whether you are paid by the church, it's about what are you doing then? Are you saying that my my Muslim security guard is a full time ministry because he's paid by the church and that he's more fruitful than Pastor Nosh who is not in full time ministry? Thank you. Sit down and clap for yourselves. All right, I'm sure it's past supper time now, but I believe that you are understanding the message that is coming. Yes, and I know God wants you to do something more than you are doing. Amen. I want us to just receive an offering before we go. I'm going to. I will continue this after, but I want everybody to take out a good offering.
