04. 7 Foundations - Women

Welcome to track #4 of mighty foundations. Hallelujah, Father, we thank you for your blessing in Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated. All right, all right. Good. Now the next foundation, as I, as I was sharing, there are some things which the ministry hinges on. Amen. And I've given you some of these. Is that not so? The ministry depends on them. All right. For the ministry to exist, OK, it depends on these things existing and without them, the ministry does cannot exist. Hallelujah. So that is why we are calling them foundations, mighty foundations. And one of them is, they was the first one I gave you sacrifice. Yes. And one of them is what? Lay ministry. Amen. There are many churches that are not large because there are no lay pastors. There are no lay ministers. There are ministers, but they are all paid. So if you are a minister, you must be paid. Do you get it? The largest ministries in the world work with lay people. It's one of the foundations of a very large thing. A lot of people just work, but they are not paid. I'll give you 3 examples. Yongicho's church is made-up of lay people who do most of the work. Are you with me? And many of them are women. That's actually another foundation. Women. So if you listen to me preaching, you see that I I I face women a lot. I face them. It's because I like them. Yeah, everybody knows I like them. It's a sign of love. If you listen, you see that I I always telling them things. That's because I like them. They now they know it isn't it? You know it. So one day I preached in Yong. He chose church and because the first service host church was full 12,000 people. I don't think I saw 10 men. Yeah, if it was not trial lie. I don't want, I cannot lie. I mean, I'm preaching. I'm. Preaching. I can't lie. I don't think I saw 10 men out of the whole congregation. Women. Yeah. And when we were taken to the cell group meeting, the, the leaders of the cell were women. Yeah, the men, a lot of the men see them smoking, doing their business different things, don't have time for God and all that, do you see? So Yogi chose church, which was the largest church in the world is an example. And le le le le le le le people, all unpaid volunteers, but everybody, that is why on Sunday they really work. They work till the night. If you, if you come with me to Korea, you, I'm inviting all of you to come to Korea in October. Doctor Chua has invited me to speak again at the stadium. So I'm blessed, I'm honored. Now if you come there, you will see lay people largest church in the world. Now they say the next example is they say the largest church in the world is Redeemed Church of God. Is that a full name? Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed Christian Church of God in Nigeria. Now, Redeemed Church, which is based in Nigeria with the largest church is also a church which uses laypeople. You see, the pastor is a businessman, pastor is a manager of the bank, pastor is a pharmacist, Pastor is this oh, and that's what I'm explaining to you that it is one of the foundations of something that is large and that works the ministry. You may not know it. Lighthouse Chapel is also one of the largest churches from Ghana. And one of our main things is, but in Accra, in the city of Accra, we have more than 120 churches. There's in Accra, right? Where are the here? There's a church here, there's a church here, there's a church. Everywhere is a church. And all the passes are labour. They are not paid. They are not giving transportation money. They are not giving honorarium, they are not giving pedium. They are not giving transportation, train fare and all those things. We don't pay the treasurers. That's why I say that when the people wanted us to pay. That's why I said that from today, we are not paying. And if you are a pastor and say you cannot take a train, you cannot pay to go on a train. We thank you for your services. This the church. You can just be nearest where it is. Don't be a pastor. Don't have to bother to. We can be a pastor. We will not change your rank. Just be a pastor about being the church. Yeah, that's it. I'm sorry. It's a basic foundation for a large, thriving ministry. We are not intending to pay. Some pastors in Switzerland wrote a letter to me asking me they want a percentage of the offering after the expenses have been paid. What is that? What these people are doing is that they are hacking at the under of the church. Do you understand? It's what holds up the largest church in the world and the largest ministries in the world is the lay ministry. And we thank God and we honor all our lay pastors. Another good example of a lay pastor is our pastor in South Africa who has just come into full time ministry. Full time is also another foundation. He has worked in South Africa. If you come to South Africa, we have thousands of members. Oh yeah. Recently we have even moved out of our own church building. Recently I was there, they had a Yeah, one of the camp. I realized some of you have been listening to that camp in South Africa. Yeah, one more. Yeah. We had a service on a Sunday. They had it in a big universities greatly a big hall and the whole place was where a lot of people were also were not even there, you know, and the pastor who has worked for 10 years, we have never paid even just one Rand, you know, Rand, I'll show you Rand. Some of you have not seen Rand before. You have not seen that before passage Rand said. Slovenia, Rand, South Africa money who is from South Africa here. All right, good. Yeah. No, we don't pay. And you know where he works? Where he works. He he he was working far down at a place called Eastern Cape. And when I came, I told him moved to the Johannesburg area so that you can be able to check. So he moved and the only place that he could get a job was far away from Victoria, about 80 to 100 kilometers from the place. So every day, because of the church, he travels 80 kilometers to the work and 80 kilometers back. You get it. He has never told us that his tires are wearing out or we have to buy a car for him or we have to give him a percentage of the offering or of this, of that, or any of all that rubbish, garbage. And I rubbish it. And if you don't like it, I can give you a list of churches in Switzerland you can join which don't have a problem with that. I give you a list immediately after church. You see me? I give you the list and the bus routes, train everything you go out. Are you there? Yeah. So it's it's it's it's it's one of the big thing that carries and supports the work. Any big ministry. That is it. What, what people don't realize is that to become bigger, you need to have more people that work and don't get paid. They get to sacrificially. Do you see? So every ministry comes to a barrier, then it can expand if it will accept laypeople. And we have accepted laypeople and giving them the honor of being a pastor and ordained. When I stand with Pastor Jimmy, stand I pass with Pastor Jimmy. He has not, no, I don't know why you are laughing. Please order in the house. Please. He he has, he has, he has been working here in the Dublin Monday to Friday, morning to evening. He wears a collar as a reverend and I also wear a collar as a reverend. I've made it the same as me or as person Richard stand up whose full time, this full time work is ministry and this was full time work. Which department? Swine flu, swine flu department. And then he also wears a collar. I have extended so much confidence in a layperson and update him, maybe also a general overseer. What else can I do? What are the honor? When you go somewhere, they'll give you the honor, Reverence, so and so has come and so. What else should we do? Yeah. So that is you have to see it as an honor that has been given to you to be in the ministry and to work for God. So now that you are going to come and ask me for percentage and for offering or for fuel if it is too much for you, I'll give you an example of Pastor Cruefield for for 10 years. He has done it for 10 years. This is the 10th year. Not if you want this run. I'm passing by. He has not collected even one. It is now that he is coming full tired. Nobody should cut. It is now that he is coming into a full time ministry. So it is from now that he's good and we are, we are sending him to, we send him to India. Yeah. We sent him to India and he was not able to get the whatever. So now we've sent him to Ethiopia. So he has been in Ethiopia all this time. He has finally got and he's come. He's leaving for Ethiopia finally in two weeks time. It's not that we are going to pay him for the first time. Yeah. And there is nothing in Ethiopia. There's nothing there. You have to go to see every 10 years. They have a farming and about 10 million people that heard the president said that it's a way of population control. Yeah, it is now that he's good. So you have to understand there is full time. And when he goes, we are going to support him. And a car in Ethiopia, a normal car that you would have bought for 20,000 here, you buy there for about 80,000. Just like. Is it not true? Yeah, yeah. They don't allow cars. They don't allow so many telephone techs, so many things complex. They don't speak any language that the alphabet is different. Alphabet is different. Christmas is different. Everything is different. New Year is different, so I'm just trying to explain to you that there is a different you. You work as a layperson and then you work as a full time minister. There are two different worlds. When you are in full time ministry, we support you have to be paid this the full time. When they are labour, you offer your services. Since we began this check, people have been trying to prevent us from being having laypeople. They want us to pay organists. Then I said no, me, I can play. I can play. Myself, I can play. Where is it I can play? Can you hear so you can know I can also play? I can play, OK, So I can play, and if I play, I don't have to be paid. My father told me something that when he was in Freetown in Sierra Leone, his The Guardian did not pay for him to have piano lessons. He wanted to play the piano so badly and he never played and but when he grew up, when he had us as children, it was one thing that he wanted us to do. So he brought a piano teacher called Mr. Richter to come and teach us piano. So if Mr. Richter has taught us piano, Father has played piano lesson for years. It's a privilege. He didn't have it. Now I've come to the church and I played the chord and then after I played the chord the the church, she paid me the test, should pay me now. 10 France hunger France. No, no, no, no, no, no. We, we had a crusade. The guy who was controlling the sound after I was one of the processor. We have to pay all of them. We have to be the guy who's controlling the mixer. I said I won't pay him. You can't run a church like that. We pay the the Is it not a privilege if you have been asked to tune up or down in your house? When you tune up or down, you charge yourself. When you lower the volume in your house, you are. Spoiling. The church. Recently I met with some doctors in my office. When we go for crusades, some people, when people come, the doctors come and help to look after all the thousands of patients we have at the crusade. And somebody was saying he suggests that we pay them. I said I won't pay if the doctor can't come, they should be in their houses. Yes. You see what we have to understand There's a difference between a volunteer. You are being a label. You are offering to God of what he has given to you sometime some of your talent and your ability as a pastor. It's a foundational characteristic of ministry. All work for God without pay as a 10th minister. So what we are saying is please, if you can't accept or assimilate this thing into your head, Do you understand please. There are so many good churches which will be able to accommodate your ministry in full times. You are paid percentage salary for all playing organs, everything. Just go there and leave us to do it this way because me, my, my background, I didn't grow up being paid for what I'm doing. I didn't grow up that way. I grew up. We work for God. You can ask Bishop Saki, we grew up. We just work for God with all our hearts, all our soul, all our mind. That's all that we want. And it's to me, it is an honor. It is a privilege. And I'm thank you. Amen. So, Pastor Jimmy, if you are you wearing a collar and you are blessed to have such a collar, you should thank God that even something that is not your real job, I have even given you such a privilege and an honor because it's not your real job. Let's face it, Monday through Friday, you are nowhere near a church. True or not true, Monday, 912 days you are doing something else. Yes, he's doing what? We are investigating swine flu. When we are praying for people to be saved. We are investigating swine flu. No, you are not a swine, just the flu. OK, sit down. So Lay Ministry is one of the foundation. What's the next foundation? Remembrance. Do you all have the book Remembrance? I believe I bought it, yes. Huh. Then it's a nice book. You like it? Good. So you must, you must remember things. You see, I have my EDP. I remember her, remember all the things that she did for me. I don't like to. I'm sure I don't remember everything in life, but I just some things I remember. And when something touches you, you should remember it. And you mustn't forget people. Some of you have forgotten people. Just because you've travelled here, you've forgotten. Your father has to beg you for money. Your mother has to beg you for money because you've forgotten. Messy. Anyway, next one is what? Tithing. Tithing and offerings. It's a foundation. How do you think I came here? Which money do you think I used to come here? Let me ask you a question. Do you think Barclays Bank paid for me to come? Which bank do you think paid for me to come? Or how did Pastor Bishop Saki come here? Do you think it is a shell company, Limited or mobile or any company? How do you think we were able to come here? No, no, no. Nobody pays for us to do what we are doing. Yeah. Without it, without those of us who are supposed to pay tithe paying it, everything will just come to an end. Everybody depends on it when we are ministry. And then him called, then him called, what do you call it? You've talked to Oral Roberts about this fundraising. He said he he asked him, he said, look, I I don't enjoy it. It's a West Bank or a best told him if you are going to have to do it, that's how it is. You're going to have to do it. And he said that he finds it's all something. It's like always selling something, doing something. It's like to get my oh, it's a very, very difficult part of the mean for genuine ministers. You would not like it at all, but without it, you just can't do the the work. So that's why we have to accept the reality that tithing pay offerings is basic. And I've gone through a lot of that already. But since you say you want more, I'll give you more. Yeah. Next one is what? Loyalty. Yeah, you need to be loyal. You need to be the same faithful. Amen. Next one is what? Closeness. You see, I'm going to teach you Psalm 65. And one of the things you realize is that when you are far, it affects you severely. How many will agree with me that those who were not here in there afternoon, they, their intellectual capacities and their spiritual capacities have been what, severely reduced? Yes, because they were not here to hear certain things and at least what distortion of what they are supposed to be? Amen. How many realize I did so true. Yeah. And that is why we want you to. And that's why I said I take objection and offense. Not even just objection. If you are a pastor, you are supposed to be here. I don't accept it. So when I got here, a quad was not here. I said I cannot accept it. Yes, I don't accept it. You wouldn't even be in Geneva if we were not, if it was not for certain things that we, we, we, we put in place for you to come here. I've come for four years. I've not had a come with you. I come, you say you're a pastor. Why should I call you a lady pastor? I don't have to call. You a pastor at all? Just be a member. Just be a member of the church. I said come. I'm the pastor of the church. I'm the overseer. I'm telling you what to do. Why are you not here? I've given you notice when I'm coming. If I'm dead, will you not come when I'm dead? Don't come. Come when I'm alive and I'm talking to you, come and look up. And I've told them when I die, they should never show my face. Anybody who is born to show my face, I will open my eyes on you. You. See. If you are bold, I open my eyes on only you. You see, I can. How many will agree with him that I shouldn't accept such things again? Yeah. I cannot accept it. Yeah, anytime you see when somebody's not there, you see that the person is affected. But ask Judas, anytime they're having meeting. When I was growing up as a Christian, all those people, funny people, they were always instrumentalists. When it's time to close, then you see them, they'll disconnect the cable and they'll be rolling. When we when we are praying, then you see them doing this, you see them packing as we are praying. They never pray. Ashes are like that. They easily form and it's always that they don't participate in certain things. You watch them. I've been in the this work for some time. Pastors who don't come. Last year when I came for a pastors meeting, I came for a conference. All the pastors came except 1. And I said that guy and he did not bother to call. So it's not a place that I normally come to. I had driven in you from Ukraine from midnight. I left a town called what, Hakov or Yakov, and I drove from midnight to 6:00 AM to come here throughout the night. Risked my life on a motorway driving in Ukraine to catch, to be at Kiev airport, to catch a flight, to come here and be here. I can't say you are not here. You know something? Something. And you see the excuses. Please don't bother me with excuses. Oh, I've written a book about excuses. I have. I'm an author of things about excuses. So don't even bother when you are giving reasons. Don't try. Just don't say anything. Let me start with your excuse. It doesn't work with me. Yeah, I've risked my life to come here. Here. You cannot come. And and that guy, of course, shortly after I left, he was one of the people who left the church. He has taken one of our churches. All those guys is taking over churches and members, they should be there. So all those things are science. And when I came, I said it is unacceptable. No reason was given. He did not even bother to make a call. Nothing. So that's as soon as I landed, I said who is not here? Who is not here? Why are they? I called before I can. I said tell them Father said she can't come because I tell them I said they should be here and I was going to even leave there to come and call you. Look, participation in meetings, there are places that is standard even in secular, in politics and so on. One day I went to a certain program and the president of Ghana was there. So I thought it was a gospel program. So Minister of Health was sitting there, I thought as a minister of road and highways was also there. So a deputy minister of telecommunication gospel program, because the president was there. If you like, don't come. You see what that next week you see that they announced on the radio that you have no more than Minister of Health. What I'm trying to tell you, there are some basic requirement you, you, those of you who claim to be passive. When you see a member who doesn't come to church, don't you see that the person is backsliding? Is it not the most immediate, obvious reality that this person? Don't we determine how people are falling away by the reality that they are not present? There are three Sundays you didn't come to church. You come to church only once in the whole month. Is it not assigned to you? So why do you think do not be assigned to me? If you are a person? I come every four years, I come one and for four years you do. You don't come. Do you think it will not be assigned to me? I shouldn't say I will say it. You think I will not see if you are? You are a pastor. You can see I am a pastor. I shouldn't see it. And I'll not accept. I would. I would remove you as I've come. I was getting ready to ask. I called bishops. I said come, we will clear all these. We do. No more pastors from today. I will not joke with it in Switzerland anymore. Yeah, I will accept it even somewhere. But not here, because I've seen some things here. Yeah. And And the anointing that kills a bear and kills lions, that anointing that is provoked on a shepherd who is very gentle Davis of the sweet psalmist of Israel. The spirit of the Lord was upon me and his word was in my time. The Lord is my I shall now want this but when a bear came, I will give you a video of two people who were killed by bears. You see how they they died by bears. You are joking with bear. They joke with a bear. They were doing this video video video video National Geographic and the bear came to eat them. No joke with a bear, it's not everything that you have to film. And this is what David. David, the sweet psalmist, he was able to kill it. Yeah. And that's how a pastor is. When you see the people are coming for a sheep, that anointing must be provoking you. Yeah. Coming to spoil the church. I, I don't want, I don't want, I don't want that. I don't want to tell, to remind you of certain things. You see, one day I had a certain uncle. He was very angry with one of his brothers. And then he started to talk about and say you when you were child, this I did this for you when this, when you were pregnant, when your wife was going to, I did this. I from from that time, I didn't like to remind people of what I've done for them. I don't like it. And I try never in my life to remind anybody because I want to just remind you of something as you are performing. Let me just remind you of something. I don't like it, so don't make me get to that place. Amen. OK. Yeah. Closeness. Adam and Eve, from the time they began to hide, they develop a severe what? Reduction in their intellectual and spiritual capacities which led to what distortion? Yeah. You imagine I'm having a meeting then instead of coming to them. If you stand outside the door and you don't hear, you don't hear, you don't hear all the things. They just hear something, hear people shouting. So after the meeting, your intellectual and spiritual capacity will have raised. Theirs will be lower. Is it not true? And as they keep staying outside at all the meetings, their intellectual and spiritual capacity will be down, down, down. It will also be up, up. That's why I say that when you hide, you see, when you stay far, it reduces who you are. Then as you are out there, other evil spirits will be speaking to you, become heads. Maybe you hear some. You think it's your name. You think it's your name, but it wasn't your name. It sounded like your name, but wasn't your name. Or you may hear an example like I'm talking about Pastor Jimmy now. But because Jimmy is here, we are all laughing about it because it's funny. He's not the only person who has been sent to us in good. The whole front row is full of people who have been sent, who have been gone, including this one here standing here. Duke, I sent you somewhere where? Liberia, Brazil. And there was silence in heaven. But if possibility was not here, somebody may go and tell him, you know. Yeah. You know. Bishop came. Yeah. A Bishop. He made fun of you special as a general overseer for years, that you have worked in this church. He doesn't appreciate you. I'm surprised even that people are laughing at you. And you, you. You hear. And it will lead to a distortion, and his mental and spiritual capacity will be reduced, and he'll be full of bitterness. But if you are here, you'll know that there's no malice in what I'm saying. It is something most of my pastors that I've sent, usually the first time they didn't go. Yeah. Usually the first time they don't go. Yeah. You take somebody like Pastor Joel, when I was even talking to him to be a pastor. One day I was at a train station with him. He got to a point, he turned to me. He said I am sick, I'm sick or I'm allergic. I'm allergic to the subject of being a pastor. You don't want to hear it again today. Look at him somewhere. So usually the first time it doesn't work. So I've I've sent him to Congo. He has refused when I bring up Rwanda. Maybe that's why. Now, are you there? OK, How many foundations do you have? Closeness, isn't it? And then which one again? And selfishness was the last one. OK, so very good. So these are the topics that we are discussing at this camp. So we are now going to discuss. We've discussed a bit of the first one, which is the tithing. But now I want us to move on to sacrifice. Amen. Now, nothing that we are doing can work without sacrifice. Amen. Now, this is something that we have to learn in Switzerland. Do you get it? Because there's a lot of in Switzerland. My boss, my days, my job, my children, my days, my all of us have those things. Oh, as we've come here, you may think we don't have children. We have children, Thomas, and my child is writing. My son is writing exam today. There's exam that you make him go to the university. He's today, he's writing chemistry. And my daughter wrote an exam on Saturday that I will let her go to secondary school Saturday. And I was not there. You're not the only one who has a child. And I have a little baby daughter. Yeah, who I love very much. I hold her, I play with her, I swim with her, I play golf with her. Even my little girl. Yeah. You think I'm IA father. One day I was somewhere and a certain sister came there and I was with my with my child. She saw me playing with my with my, with my daughter. I'm not used to that. I said I'm not used to what? So she always not me standing in the puppet and preaching. So you don't know that I'm also I'm also a father. I wouldn't ask my children. Oh, those of you who say you are parents, come and let's compare notes after church. Write your notes. I also write mind. And we'll see what you do and also what I do. Yeah. So what I'm saying is that when you start talking and that thing. Swiss, Switzerland, you are chief. Can we have the camp? We cannot have the camp. Can we have the. We cannot do. We can. Everything cannot be done. What kind of place is this? One year. What? One year notice? Yeah, I cannot give you one year notice. And I won't give you one year notice. And you see, as I'm here now, I, I can easily say I'm coming again for another camp now. Yeah. And if I'm coming for you, I expect you to come. Now you have people who may ask, why is it that you don't come here? You don't have the reason why I may not come. Is this the attitude? It's like you feel that you are inconveniencing some people because I'm a born again Christian. I don't want to inconvenience people. I'm born again. I don't want to inconvenience people. One day I went to somebody's house in the in the night. We have not eaten the whole day and we got there around midnight. You know, it says, oh, I have some fish, I can defrost it. Can I have some rice? I can, I can, I can start. I can skin whatever. I said should I defrost? I said no, no, don't defrost it. We knew it. I said we know it. No. We were hungry as. As a born again Christian, I should tell you to go and defrost your fish at midnight. If you defrost it, defrost it and bring it. You are asking me whether you should defrost it. I don't defrost it. I will not eat. If you want to defrost, defrost, don't talk. You don't understand what I'm saying. I don't want to inconvenience somebody. I don't want to inconvenience you. I come as I feel I'm disturbing your work. Maybe I'm taking away from your holidays. I'm disturbing your boss. I'm disturbing your If you want to do it, you can do it. You just tell, please. I can't come to the other running stomach or whatever you are ever. You have done it for other reasons. Other reasons have made you leave your work, but this one is not important enough. Yes, that's the fact. That's the fact of the matter. Don't give me that kind of response. This work we are doing, it involves adjustment. You have to sacrifice all the time. All the time. Yes, yes. And I and I tell you, many of the beautiful camps that we had in the UK some time ago and there's no announcement. I just say I'm coming. Get some people who like camp. There's no notice. Yeah. Few people, especially youngish people. Yeah. And you see them eager, listening. Almost everybody at that camp is now in full time ministry somewhere of those camps, there's hardly anybody around. I think this will be the last person. This guy here. Yeah. Don't let me feel that I am inconveniencing you when I call you. Yeah. Don't let me feel that I'm inconveniencing you when I call you. Please don't let this be the last time. Don't let me feel bad for coming here. One day you will grow up and you will call your child, and your child will say I'm busy and God will give you the harvest of that thing, and you will see something you never thought you will see, and you will. Cry that day. And you will say, oh, she doesn't remember what I did. You see, As for parents, you will not remember what they did. You don't know what they did for you. Yeah. That's why when you are dealing with fathers, mothers, you don't know what they have done for you to exist. Remembrance. I told a story of my own mother. Mother. I told my mother how dirty the emergency room is in Ghana. The children's emergency. I don't want you when when your child. Anybody I see on the wall, I don't touch. I don't shake her. I don't touch anything. And the trousers that I wear, the clothes that I wear to go to the water, I don't wear it at home. Yeah, we have something called musocomial infections, infections that come from the ward. So Andy, I was telling my mother how dirty that place is and nobody should ever bring his child. This so terrible. That isn't really that. She said, Oh, you have slept there many times. I said who? She said you and she said I slept there with you because the mother has to stay with the child. She said I slept when you were a child. Call Abu emergency ward several nights you were there and I was there looking after you. That's why you should never provoke your father or mother to start bringing up some things that you don't know this, this, this, this, that. Today I say it is my birthday, I AM 70 years old or I AM 60 years old that my child will not Remember Me or my child will not remember to even honor me or even to call me. Mike Meadow said something. He said that God told him call your mother every day. Yeah, he said it to call his mother every day. Hey, you may not know what has price has been paid for you to be there that today it always sounds like you are being inconvenienced. It's a terrible thing. It's a terrible thing if our Bishop Danka Willa called me said come, I come, be there by, but this time that's it. That's the movement is happening. Whatever if your father should always have a good feeling about you, not some negative when he remembers to name that he will be one day. I remember I was talking to I was talking to somebody and he was saying he remember one of his sons. He said he would hang, he would hang like how Absalom hang. He would hang by his words. He started to speak about the guy. Yeah. Charlie that people can and that guy, the things that he has done for him, you can't imagine. So please, we are talking about sacrifice, whatever the price you have to pay so that you don't give the feeling that feeling I'm talking about something now specific, don't give the feeling of. It's like I have to drive so. Far to come, I have to do. That's why I said that you provoke your father to tell you that I drove for me, that maybe I don't believe in such journeys. I've had an accident before, but to be able to come here, I said let me come here because there's no flight from that place five hours through the night. Yeah. I've had an accident before. I've been in the car telling me like this. I was driving. I held the steering wheel of my strength. The car moves on it. When you're having an accident, the car doesn't respond either to the nothing issues. It moves. So you will realize that you are in something that's moving on its own. I've, I've been, I've seen one before. Yeah. And Reverend Eastwood, he lost six children in an accident. The same kind of Rd. just near nearby, same road to the north, just not the same thing. Even somebody who went to the scene said that our accident, our car was further off the road in our accident than his children's own. Yeah, so when I when I drive from Ukraine to here to be here and don't slept so that I can't stand here, it's it's it's it's a Sunday afternoon. We've had church already or we are tired. We have to come all the way here and you see the people. One time I came for pastas. I said let's go and have dinner just so that I can be with you and just chat with you a bit, see them sleeping by me. The food has not yet come, the order the other has not been not that like let's say we've made the other, we've eaten, we are talking, you are so tired and exhausted. The other has the other been made when they started sleeping and the pastors you see them sleeping. Hey and. I begin to feel how I'm disturbing the people and as a born again Christian I cannot continue to disturb people. So what I'm saying is that you have to learn how to be a child. Your mother cannot influence me. I remember recently my mother called me and I did not want to go blood on some situation and she said Dad come and I said for your mother to call you, you just have to go. Then she wanted me to talk about something and that and I said I will never I made a promise to myself but that and I will never talk about it no matter who and when she's dark. I said then I said I said that it's because it is you. I cannot be rude or be some way I have to flow. Yeah. Charlie, be careful. Oh, be careful because there are certain lines spiritually. You see when you go to certain museums, you will not see anything. But there's infrared rays like that when you cross. Have you not watched some of those two before? When you cross? No, that don't start to close. That's how cases are. It's an invisible line. When you cross it, then certain things begin to come. So please, I'm telling you are also a father. You are a mother. You have a child. Yeah. You will see it one day, still grow. I tell you, it's not today. Tomorrow they will look at you in the face. They will damn you and kiss you, walk out and you see, say, why did I bring up this child? I remember the toys I bought for him. I remember how I bought this. I remember how I held them. Go, go, go, go, go. Oh, you look like Uncle Sam. You look like Uncle Joe. You look like Auntie. Are you listening some of the least low? I'm not talking about sacrificing your life and going on a mission. I'm just talking about just even how you are relating. And I'm saying that there is so much stiffness and it's a show of we are like important people. And who are you, some important person who is being dragged? Would. You come on Monday, all I'll say to you is that whatsoever you sow, whatsoever you sow, whatsoever you saw, OK? Amen. That is the first sacrifice people in Switzerland have to make is a sacrifice in attitude. Time adjustment is the first sacrifice that you have to make. Is it take up your cross? I'm not talking about dying on a cross yet. You have not reached that place yet. You're talking about just even having a good attitude when you come around and not only to me coming, but to any kind of program or meeting. You don't know that suicide took off from Canada to come to Switzerland when they reached Halifax. They have served food. They have served what I'm saying the time had gone by enough. They served food. Food was served. I want you like it. Chicken, chicken or beef, Chicken or beef. People check it, they sell all of them. Swiss Air. And when they got to Halifax, smoke started to come out of the control inside the cockpit. Smoke started coming from the cockpit like the the dials and the whole plane lost power and they wanted to go and dump the fuel. There was no that the plank is straight into the ice water of that place. They all vanished. Everybody. Anytime I sit on a plane to come, I've risked my life to come here. If you don't know, I'll tell you that I've risked my life to come here and I am aware. I am fully aware that it's a risk. That's why I don't fly with my wife. I don't fly anywhere with my wife because I and so my person asked myself. I have small children. I am aware of the risk. It's like what you put on a seat belt. When you look at that, don't you have faith? You too When you go. Don't lock your house again. Don't wear seat belt. Don't wear seat belt again. Angel will look after you. Yes. Leave your door open. Don't lock your house again from today. Yeah, yeah. Don't lock your door again from this evening. I am aware. I am aware of the risk. I'm from here, I'm going to Scotland, my wife is on KLM, I'm on British Air. We arrive at the same time. I'm coming to Ghana. I'll be the same. We arrive 8:00 for 8:45 because I'm conscious of risk that I'm taking. This one is a pilot here. He can tell you whether it's a risk or not. Is it not true? Yeah. That's the way you look at yourself. We couldn't come from our distribution. I don't want to say something, I don't want to speak certain words. It's not just saying we are sorry. Yeah, yeah. We as pastors, we may come happily working where we are called. Bishop Saki called me the other day. He told me if when his wife died, you see we all became conscious of death. Then one day he called me. He said if I die, please look after my children for me. Because you see when your wife dies, you realize that now you are the only one left. So if something happens to your children are orphans. But you may not think about it till you have seen something. And me, I've seen myself going to work on the way I almost died. I've been in place that was struck by lightning crap that we were there. So hey, and setting God was sitting by my side. Are you born again? You know Jesus as a savior? Yeah. I've been on planes twice that almost collided on the runway. I was on a plane once that was landing KL and was landing Accra. I always sit by the window. I was looking I like to see that we are getting there gradually and we were there though just as we were just touching down or suddenly the plane took us up. Just say Lord, I, I said what I thought immediately was that maybe the wheels didn't come out. I thought, I thought that was. So we're quite. We went high almost as if a rocket. I was just wondering, Lord, this is it. We are dead because here's the airport and we have gone back into the air. Then after some time, the pilot announced. He said that, ladies and gentlemen, just as we were landing, there was a car in front of us on the round. So I had to take off to avoid the car. Yeah. Another time. As I said, when I see you, it's like, oh, we can't come from Lausanne to Geneva. You think I don't know? Geneva and Lausanne, you think I don't know? Even when we got to the airport, Jimmy, did I not tell you we just turned behind the airport and camp? The Lausanne motorway is just by the airport. Don't go into town just by. I know the way I'm driven here. I've got a Swiss driving license. Swiss driving license. I have. I know the way around here. I've been all over to Zurich, here, Ben, Basil, all over the place and all kinds of places. I know the way. It takes you from here to here. You can't come and you have from here. You have to be given money to take train from here to here. Listen to me another time. Another time I was on the KLM. I was I was on another KLM. I was on another KLM that was landing in London. This time we were landing in London. The same thing happened. We were landing like this. I was sitting by the window as usual. I was looking out of the window just as we were about to. I said, now Lord Ghana, there's a car landing. Heathrow is what? We were. Quietly in a plane, after some time, the pilot announced that there was an aircraft right on the runway was about to collide. Yeah, me. Ducky, what knows? I've seen this twice. Another time we I was on another plane. That's why I said when I come and I look at you, it's so difficult for you to come. And I even see when I see your face that I've inconvenienced you. I was on an AKLM when an eagle, an eagle went into the engine. An Eagle, I don't know if it's an Eagle, but a bed. So when we landed in Kano, the engine of the plane wouldn't work again. Yeah, one side. So the pilot said that we should all get down. Now there were a lot of canyons who had come from America and they said we didn't die in Brooklyn, we ain't going to die in Kano. We're not getting down. We didn't die Brooklyn. We were going to die in Kano. We're not getting down. We should go and sleep in Kano. We will not go and sleep in Kano. They should take the 1, the Eagle in the they should take the Eagle and let's all go with it. It was a tug of war. The people said we will not go. So in the end, they brought an old plane, Kabul Airways, Kabul Airways, Kabul Airways with an engine in the tail. They said we should go inside, and people said we shall go. So we all went inside Kabul Airways from Kano to Accra. Yeah. I've not seen that plane before, and I've not seen it again since happening. Yeah. What? I'm just making a point. I'm just only making one point. When I see you here, here, you cannot come. And some of us in Journey's option, we are making the effort. It's funny for you to say that. And I want to tell you that you are the only church in Lighthouse 847 churches that behave in that way. And it is a spirit in the country. Yeah, of all the places, if I they will stop everything and just be there. I would not lie to you if it was not so I would tell you something. And it's only here. And if you live Switzerland, you see that your attitude will change. But there are a lot of evil spirits here. So you realize that after some time you are affected by what is going on here. You become that way. You don't even realise what is happening to you. And that's why it's good for you to have outside visitors all the time. You don't even know. You are not even aware of what is happening. You think you are becoming Swiss or you are becoming this or you are disciplined or you, you, you don't whatever, but it's a spirit. You need to be flexible. That's why snakes are doing well. They are flexible. They can be anywhere. Yeah. You have snake in the desert, snake in ice, snake under the water. Snakes fly. Everything they can do. They can stay without eating. They can eat a lot. Anyone snake doesn't eat much. Yeah, it can do anything. That's why it's the most successful predator in the whole world. A snake. One day I will show you a film about a snake you see. So sacrifice, Amen is needed. And for you, one of the main sacrifice, sacrifice your Swiss attitude, man. All right. OK. Thank you. Do you have your book, your sacrifice book? How many? Don't have 10. Go and get it at the back. Give them after you pay, get one so that we all, we all look at it together. Please wait. They will sell it to you one by one. Please, please. There is a woman who sells their book in Ghana, Accra. When we go, she will be very well on the money. So collect it and after you pay. Yeah. You can turn to page 8. How many are going to have a better attitude from to the end of the pastors you see? Ask him, do you have a good attitude? Yeah. You don't want any pastor with a bad attitude again in the church, whether he pays tithes and whether he has a good attitude. Yeah. You must be flexible. You know, I am studying various animals and I tell you, snakes are very. I mean they are well when Jesus said be. Wise as a. Serpent. We I don't think any of us knew what it meant. It can be here, it can be here, it can be big, it can be small. Can you believe, I mean, Can you imagine what will a snake eat in the desert? Pure sand, like powder. But it is there and you see them moving under the sand like that. And it will be there for a long time to get a desert lizard once a year, and it just eats it. And it stays in the heat of 45°C. It can be in ice. You see a black snake on ice. It can be in the water, it can fly, it can go fast, it can go slow. Everything it can do, because it can do anything by you, you've made yourself. I can come only on Fridays, I can come on Saturdays. I can do something on Sundays. I can do it at 7:00. I cannot do it at this time. You see, that is not the wisdom of a serpent. And that's one of the great revelations that it does not need to eat much. Some of us, we, we have to eat at 8. We have to have lunch. We have to do this because I'm here. To me, I've not eaten anything today. The bits and pieces that they give us, it's not, I don't eat such food normally. Have you not eaten anything? But I can, I can go on and on and on. I realized I was getting vitamin deficiency, so I went to drink vitamins. I'm not even eating for the last couple of days. I can move. It's a problem. I don't have to have this, this, this that is so. No. Why? Rigidity is a very dangerous thing, very, very dangerous, and we need to. And when we started our church in London, at first there was some of that thing, but after a while, that thing was gone. Yeah. By the grace of God, yes. And I believe that it's also going to go here. That rigidity is reflected in the inability for us to send even one missionary from Switzerland. Yeah, not even one person. It's amazing. I asked Nicopo to go to Germany because he speaks German. Just round the corner, just crossover. I mean, let's not even get into Congo. Let's not get into Congo. Let's stay, let's stay nearby. Let's talk about even Paris. For some of you, us who speak French, I cannot get anybody. I have to get this elderly brother who is what I say elderly is past the age of learning languages to go from he lived he lived in Birmingham. There's a big church there with his own church building branches and whatever said come to Price organize his wife, his children to come and start all over again at his own cost to as a layperson. I said go after he's there for sometime. I call him I said come to Johannesburg now and he's moving again. He's have you got your visas Yes everything they are moving is it flow go here OK, go here OK go. That's how we can do something That's what releases power tends to 1st Corinthians. If you don't think I will not read verses page 8. I told you page 8 for the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness. The cross symbolized is a symbol of sacrifice, Amen? Is a symbol of sacrificing things, and to them that perish, it's foolishness. Many times cross is foolishness. Cross often looks foolishness. But to us which are saved, the cross is the power. That's what brings power, Amen. So you see me like it's foolishness for me to be a pastor, you understand? But it releases power. The foolishness brings power, the apparent foolishness. Now, I would say that where is he? If this gentleman has to move from, where's the place? No, London, Birmingham to Paris. It's foolishness. I mean, you are there, you've got your house, you've got this mortgage, whatever. There's that. There's foolishness to move. I mean, at this stage of your life is you are not just starting life, isn't it just start life? It didn't just start, it's foolishness. I mean, you're disturbing somebody's life. That's what I'm trying to explain to you, that the preaching of the cross or the talking about sacrificial things and the preaching of giving up your life. It is foolishness always sounds foolish, but that is what releases the power by said to us, which I saved. It is power. When I tell my story, sometimes it looks so vast, long ago that oh Bishop this, that you know the church, oh you, this, you are different. But everybody who is being released into the work of God, the power only comes when they are able to give up something. Yes. Power comes when they're able to give up something. Yes. And that there's a second power. All these people are from the UK. This one is in Spain. Barcelona. Where were you living in England? Northampton. I said go, go. He went this one was in where Plesto I said go, he's in Hamburg. These are Swiss, so they will not they will not go. These are Swiss. This one Pasa Queku. He is a generous I sent him to how many countries have I sent you to? Seven countries where? Colombia, Ethiopia, Congo, Nigeria, Colombia, everywhere. Yes. Yes, it's ready. No. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, it's ready now. And no, that's what releases power. But you see, OK, you go here. There's a difference. Even though we are all holding the same book and reading the same verses, it's a completely different thing. So I'm talking to young guys. Some of you young guys, you are more able to sacrifice or the old guys are also ready to sacrifice. Yeah. You see, you must be. That's what we release. That's what I mean. I'm interested in young people who are ready. Yeah. When it comes to our church in Accra, you don't see old people much. And even, I mean, politics, No politician in our church. But these kind of messages, I mean, it's not something that will let you stay in the church. There's no important person. There's no important person in our church, Only us. That's us. Yeah, just us. Because I'm talking about sacrifice. Take up your cross. Follow. Follow him. Follow Jesus. Amen. Are you there the preaching of the cross? And I'm going to continue preaching the cross. I'm going to preach sacrifice, give up your life, die for God. Come to Ghana. You see the missionaries, they died for Ghana. That is why we are here today. It says it's a, it's a reaping. And God will show a special message to Switzerland one day because of the sacrifice that Swiss people made to die in Ghana, die in Sierra Leone, die in Liberia, die in Malaysia. Swiss people, because of the same belief that they had, God will bless them. He will never forget it. Amen. Are you there? So we we need some more power. Yeah. We need some power, power to produce, power to release, power to grow. Rick Joyner said. Something said that the church only advances on the wheels of sacrifice. If there's no sacrifice, there's no real advancement. It can't really move forward. You can only have church people jump from lighthouse to this church, from that church to this church. But real increase, it comes through sacrifice. Somebody has to pray, somebody has to fast, somebody has to do different things, and the power will be released. Amen. Now in Second Kings chapter 3, verse 26, it's right there on page 9. When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too soft for him, he took with him 700 men. That drew salt to breakthrough to the king of Edom, but he could not. He said he could not breakthrough. Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and he offered him for a bent offering upon the wall, and there was great indignation against Israel, and they departed from him and returned to their own land. You see, that is an example of someone who sacrificed his son and it caused a great. It was something, it was something so nasty, but it turned back the armies. It turned back the armies. What he couldn't breakthrough, He could breakthrough now because of the sacrifice that he made. Amen. Are you there? Yeah. Today we have church in Jamaica, St. Lucia, Trinidad, Granada. And where? Brazil, Venezuela. Because of Pastor Robert. Yeah, because Pastor Robert. I could send him. I could say go and he will go. There's no question. And now he's ready. I called him. I said come here, say OK, should we start packing now It's ready. Flexible, flexible, flexible by some of us. So I started to welcome Pasajimi's flexibility. So I sent him that text. I said you will be a good missionary, you and Anita, very good missionaries. I just pictured them in Congo, walking through the streets of Congo together. All right, now go to page 11. The power to make people follow you. Amen. President Rollins is a good example of that. Those of you who know him, he made a lot of people follow him, lawyers, what have you. Rollins has had a lot of followers, although he's not educated. He didn't go even to sixth form. And some of our politicians just come and read speeches that have been when they really make, they make a mistake. They say somebody wrote it for them. And he sensed the lack of whatever, but he he stood and he said I am the one. He should kill me and release all the guys. He's the one who did the coup. It's part of people following him. Yeah. It's a fact. It's not a principle that is it works. People lay down their lives. People follow them. It's true. There are people who look at me preaching. They feel like I don't know how to preach. One day recent, somebody was watching me on television. It's just as is this preaching. You just turn it off. Yeah, yeah. So somebody may feel that I don't know how to preach. I don't know if that's what you think, but fine. But there's some power working when I have camps. When I have camps, you see people change their destiny. Yeah, their destiny changes. I can show you so many people all over. You see their power is moving them. You say you are anointed. Coming. Let's compare notes #2 The power to make people believe #17 Chapter 17 The power to make people believe. People believe you when you sacrifice, they'll believe you more. Amen. Are you there? Number three, The power to induce commitment. Hallelujah. What did Philippians say? 37 he says. But what things were gained to me? Those I counted laws for Christ doubtless I count all things but loss for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do calm them but down, that I might win Christ. Why was Paul suffering the loss of all things? Because Christ suffered the loss of all things. Christ suffered the loss of his life. And when you see somebody who has suffered everything and has lost everything, it induces his followers to also leave everything and follow. So Paul also followed Christ, he said, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things. And I do calm them back down. And since then so many people have followed Christ and are following him still. Amen. As I'm in the ministry, I was a doctor. I am a doctor. Several doctors have followed me. I followed my example. If I'm not like in the hospital because of that, 111 of my assistant doctor go in the crusade. Somebody said to him, I lost all respect for you when I heard that you were following that keyword Mills, one of the professors told him I've lost all respect for you. I thought you were good. You are very excellent doctor. This, this, this, that and that till I heard that you are following this boy. It's heavy, you see that it induces people to follow. That is why I want Pastor Jimmy to set a good example so that it will induce the rest of you to follow. It's true. When we start to have 1234, you start to see that people look and say what is Switzerland? It's nothing. I'm going here, I'm going here, I'm going, I'm going to work for the Lord. See. But in London they have damned London and walked out. So what is London? Shame on London, shame on London and they walk out. But here we say Switzerland is everything, Everything. You are everything to me, Geneva. WHOUNEI can never leave you. You are my everything. There is none like you or WHO. No one else can my heart like you do. And I watch WHOWHOI through all eternity and WHO? And fine, now there is none like. You WHO? United Nations, There is none like you. Switzerland. There's none like you. There's nothing like you. This is my desire. I love you with all my heart. I never leave you. I would die with you. I will retire. I will be here. I will be an old man. I will love you and hold you tight. Hold me close. Never let me go. Oh, I bet you never let me go, but that's what I did to medicine. I said damn you, you are nothing. I walk away. God is everything. Damn you, you are nothing. You are nothing. God will take care of me and he has taken care of me, I said. He has taken care of me. He has taken care of me so much that I can't even say how much he's taking care of me. I'm being ashamed to say how much he has taken care of me. It's so embarrassing. United Nations. How did this in the next line? No one else can touch my heart like you do, United Nations. I have searched for all eternity, United Nations and found that there is not like you. United Nations. Switzerland. Geneva, Zurich. Lausanne. What is Switzerland? Open your eyes, my friend. I saw somebody today. I told. I told her. I said there's a lot of poverty here. She thought I was joking. I don't joke. I don't laugh at people. Who laughs at people? I mean, I don't laugh at people from alone. I don't laugh at anybody. He laughs at people, but I don't laugh. He and my wife, they laugh at people. By me, I don't laugh at anybody. Yeah. There's Poverty here by his disguise. Poverty wears a suit and everything is here back for years. You never understand what is happening to you. It's like a carrot in front of a donkey. You're going at that time, but you must open your eyes. Others you won't see it. So induced commitments. That's what I've learnt as a leader. Go yourself. Let's talk, talk, talk. Go the commander, you go yourself and put yourself in danger, and people will also follow you and also put themselves in danger. The whole thing is about putting yourself in danger. Why do you want me to go? You won't go. Go and let us see that you put yourself in danger. Me, I would have gone as a missionary long term. The Lord told me stop, you have to stay here and send the people from here. And I said I've gone myself just to show that I'm not afraid of it. Whatever will come, should come. I, I thought, I look at my children. So the other day, couple of weeks, I was with them somewhere. I just look at them. I said if I, if I die, I've done my best for you. I commit them to go. Sometimes even when you are dead, they turn out better than when you are alive. I just transport. Yeah. That's right. Yeah, there is not like you, no one else. My heart like. You do. I have said through all eternity, love and fun, there is none like you. No, there must be nothing too precious for you. That's what I believe. Nothing, nothing, nothing must hold you. Nothing must control you in this world. Only God must control you. Your wife must not control. Your husband must not control. One day I told my wife, I said I, I promise you just one thing, that I will never be led by you. I will not allow you to lead me no good room. It's my promise to you till I die. By the grace of God, You I will not allow you to control. I will be led by God. Hey. Yeah. Try. Be led by anything else in this world apart from God. And I promise you, you will hit your head so hard in this world. Yeah, try anything. Be led by money. Be led by WHO? Be led by Swiss. Be led by husband. Be led by wife. When asked Adam what happened to him when asked Adam just here asked Adam what happened to him when he followed his wife after his wife has eaten that thing. And she came and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. And he said, OK, if you love me too, if you love me too, husband, love your wife. These were the verses she was reading to him. Husband, love your wife. No, you don't follow. Follow God. If God's following leads you to love or to do that, then you do it. Yeah. The power to make people take you seriously. Some of you, you read these same verses. The people don't take it serious. It doesn't mean anything. It's like just saying twinkle, twinkle Little Star, page 19. You get it. That's why pastors preach the same message that I preach. It has a different effect. But if you are preaching what I'm preaching, you can't use the examples that I'm using. Yeah. You can only say Bishop said this. Bishop said this. Bishop said you to say something yourself for yourself. Yeah. What have you been through? What have you survived? What have you gone through so people don't take you seriously? You can read the most fantastic verse. For whom I've suffered the loss of all things. Which loss have you suffered? What have you lost? What have you lost for God? Did you even lose 10 minutes to pray? 30 minutes to pray? Did you even lose your lunch or your breakfast? Could you fast? Did you spend any time? Did you lose anything at all that you are saying you have suffered the loss of all things? Could you even, could you even give up a few minutes to come to see me? Is that what if you couldn't do it? I say you've suffered the loss of all things, which which things have you lost? That's why people, they hear. You preaching this? Same message you read the same verse, it doesn't have the same effect. They can't take you seriously. That's why sometimes that's why I was telling Jim you see in everybody's life you have your course that you're supposed to go through when we were coming from the airport, I was sharing with them. When you read the final question, join us said something. It's Paul told him in the vision that I finished my course, but I did not fulfill the highest purposes of God for my life. And I was trying to understand. I realized to finish your course means you went here, here, here, here, here. All the places you were supposed to be you went, but at each place there is a purpose there. You see that if you take Pastor Robert, he was in Geneva, then he was in Trinidad, then he was in Brazil. Is that also, or I should say he was in London, then Belgium, then all these places Now at each of these places, let's take for instance Trinidad. What did he do that he has opened the door for the church to come there? Pastor Robert went to extensive investigation and interview because they could not understand his his background. You are from Ghana with another country passport. You are trained as a pharmacist, but you are a pastor. I mean you do this, but you are this. Everything is different about him. Hey, Speaks different languages, speaks French. But you are from Ghana, which speaks English, and so you speak this. All kinds of things. Yeah. But what did he do within the Trinidad? You see the books, My books are spread throughout the Caribbean. He went to almost 200 different islands. Yeah. So many places. Pastors have invited me. Listen, read my books. They have been so blessed in Brazil. He's there doing the same thing. Books publishers started a check, open the door, open the door for people to come there. So you see that in one place He's doing several purposes, but you have to finish your course also. So maybe God wants you to be in Geneva. After that He wants you to go here. After that, He wants you to be here and to be there. That's the full course. If you die early, you may not finish your course, but even when you finish your course, you may finish your course. But even within the course, you don't fulfill the purposes within the course. Do you understand what I'm talking about? So you may be here now, but there is a reason why you are here. It's a phase of your life and there are things that are supposed to happen in that spot on the course of your life. So I was explaining that, yes, Pastor Jimmy first was in Geneva. He was a drama. He was this, he was this. Then for Basil for eight years, then to. Zurich. For seven years, then to Geneva, you see, but Geneva may not be the last stop if I don't think he's the last stop in the toss so that one day he can stand before Jesus says I also finished my course. And at each step, one of the things Jimmy has done in the last eight years, he has his foot and defended me pestal and defended the Czech. Thrunk with strength. Yeah, you see. And I can tell you, I can tell you that, Yeah. OK, OK, OK, good. Good. I can tell you something that you see there are different reasons they said oh. He's he's there to. Pastor the chair. But you see, apart from passing me and other people that God has also raised you up to defend this thing and to be an unbendable pillar at that time and then at another time something. And then it's at each point there are different things you may be doing. Yeah. So please, I beg all of you, make sure you finish up some of you, you have rigidified yourself that I cannot move from this port. So your course is Lord, if you have any course, let it be localized around this area within here. Are you understanding what I'm saying? So Paul said, because when when he told Rejoiner in the vision that he didn't fulfill most of the purposes of God. And so Rejoiner said, well please, what you are saying is difficult to I mean you are you are just trying to be humble and said no. He said no, I'm serious. He said with seriousness in his face. Paul looked at him and said, I did not finish. I did not do most of the purposes, the highest purposes for which I was given. I said I was given much, but I didn't use all of it. He said, but that's what finishing I did finish my course, but I did not fulfill many of the purposes. So Duke, I know you came from was equal to Adabraka to hear is it or tapes department, tapes department to this to this to this is it. There is a course, you see, and many of us get stuck because the next step, often in our lives, there's a pit of pain or there's some change or there's some losing, especially the losing path, especially if you've been deceived by the glamour and the glitter of this place. Oh, I want to get 25 people to send to Germany just from here to Germany. Not fowl, but you go and live there and get a job there and say we are here with this lighthouse. Tropol International. If you go to Zurich, you see the same church. Go to Geneva, Lausanne. We are bringing 1 here to Bremen, to Dusseldorf to here to here to here to here all over. You are in Dusseldorf? Yeah. And this is brother. What's his name again? Audrey. You are. And where? Colon. Also. We do. Sodorf. Yeah. Jerry is coming to Frankfurt. Yeah. Are you people understanding what I'm talking about? Yeah. Don't get stuck on their way. You know, one day I had a vision in the vision years ago. This was at the very, very beginning. It's one of my first. I wrote in my book, I've written a book. One of the chapters is 20 visions which changed my life. This is one of them. I was spoken on a road like this winding Heather. When I got to a point, I saw a heap, like look at a heap of sand. When I got to the heap, I was surprised it was not sand. It was gold, gold like powder, like coins. And I said what I've discovered my life's whatever. So I just and the law said, no, don't stay. Take some that you need and just continue, say on the path that I have called you. There are many of such heaps. Just you keep on what I'm calling you. This is don't stay here. So I continue. And along the road that God had called me several times. You see that heap? Yeah, that's why even I cannot even declare the blessing that God has given to me. Because it was true. That vision was true. Yeah. So, my friend, some of you got to your first heap. It's easy to be like you. Want to Hold it, Hold me close. Never let me. Is there a song that never let me? Never let me go sing the song. Where's your microphone? Hold me close, let your love surround. Bring me, me WHO, draw me to your side. Swine flu. As I wait, I rise up on the girl and I I was saw with you WH. OI was saw with you. I'll become a director. I'll become a what? DG, DG DG Hi Messi ADG. I was saw with you Messi. OK, chapter 3. You have to read the book yourself. I'm just reading the the headlines the struggle against the sacrifice. Now the devil does not want the sacrifice to come. There are three main people who are against the sacrifice. Amen. The first person is the Antichrist. Notice on page 25 in verse 10 chapter 8. Verse 30 says. Then I heard one St. speaking, and Mother said, How long shall be the vision according concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression of the sin of desolation? Desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot. How long you see this is what is desolation? What is it? Something is desolate. What does it mean? Is empty, dry, is dead, Is black? You get it? 10 to page 23 Daniel chapter 8 verse 12 it says, and a host was given him against the daily sacrifice. This is the Antichrist against sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground, and it practiced and prospered, and arms shall stand on his path. Daniel 11, verse 31 And they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength. God is Satan is trying to pollute our strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Now This is why what the devil's plan is for the Swiss church to be desolate. Yeah, there's a plan. Desolation. No happiness here, no flow, no greatness, just desolation. And how? By taking away daily, which are like simple, small, small sacrifices. That's what I'm talking about. Coming here is like it's a problem for you. Coming here is this is that is that. And what? Look, I am also a reasonable person. I know that there are times you cannot get away from work and it will be even dangerous for your job for you to leave. I understand all those things. I'm a medical doctor. The school that I've been to, most of you have not been to that school. Don't take me for granted. And I came to Switzerland before. Most of you, if you don't know. Yeah. But what I want to tell you is that there is also something which is not a real reasonable excuse. It's way beyond that. It's not something you cannot change or something you can. It's just that you don't want to do it. And there's a lot of that here. And that's what I'm talking about. When you really want to do it, you can do it. That's what I'm talking about, yes. I don't want to cook and I can't cook and I won't cook and that's what I'm talking about. I'm not unreasonable. If I was unreasonable, there will not be a lot of people following me. If I was unreasonable, a lot of people will not have left their jobs and whatever and followed me if I was an unreasonable monster. I'm telling you, if I was unreasonable, people will not just trust me. I said go here, go here, go here. They just leave their job. They leave their whatever if they think people are not watching me carefully. All the people that have been with me since 1988, Bishop Saki and his wife and families, we have all been together the same group. If we were so uncristal and so, so monstrous and so animalistic, do you think so many people will be following us? Think about it carefully, my friend. I am addressing an evil spirit that is here. That's what I'm doing and I will not back down from it. And I have no apologies for it. And that is what is causing desolation here in Switzerland. Why should we come here not feel happy to come here? Why should I not be happy to feel the first brand that I ever started in the world since I was born in this world, this Geneva? Why should I not be happy to come here? She did not be the joy of my life to come. So this is where my first, because the grace of God of my life has been branches and this was the first one. Why should I not have such happiness? So this is my original home. I started to check myself personally. I'm saying it. Yeah, He says the abomination that brings desolation is taking away the sacrifice. Yeah. Stopping it for daily. I'm talking about big sacrifice for daily. I don't got a big one that you go and die big, Big daily ones. Yeah. We can't do it. Yeah. And that's what's also spoiling the child. I can't sacrifice to take a train and go and come. If I take a train, I'll eat my tithe. I'll use my tithe to pay for the train journey and so on. That's why that's so now I've decided to close down all those churches, just close them down because they want, they cannot sacrifice. And nobody can sacrifice here again. So desolation creeps in because as I've come here now, after I've finished, I'm going to have a meeting. Any church which is far, it cannot go. You can close it. That's it. So desolation. Desolation. What is the meaning of desolation? Have you found it? Is this in the book? Oh, OK. Read it. Say it slowly. You are saying it too fast. We are not. We are not remembering all the words you are saying. It means destitute. Baron. Baron, you see, the church is going to become barren. The fruits that we were having, the branches, they're all closing down. Yeah. Because I'm also, I'm also, I can also sustain it. Yeah. So it's going to be empty. These are being full of churches. When Reverend Adebuye came here from Nigeria, he made a comment about, he said what you people are doing here, it can never happen in Nigeria, how people sacrifice go. He was amazed. I've never seen anything like that before. And the foundation of this ministry, which is the LED people and people sacrificing, that's what is being taken away. And what does it lead to? Desolation, barrenness, emptiness. Read them. You read them. Rejected. What was the word rejected? Rejected. Let's see, desolation is a feeling of, if you refer to desolation in a place I'm reading from a dictionary, it you mean that it is empty and frightening, for example, because it has been destroyed by a violent force or army. We looked out upon a scene of desolation and ruin, empty and frightening. Even when I came to today and I landed a town, I did not have that feeling of whatever. I just felt. It's like, what is this? I say I organize myself here. Let's go to war. Into war. Come and fight and go. Yeah, but you should not be. So I'm telling you, we've got to change it. Otherwise a certain Baroness, you see, a certain emptiness who are associated will be upon you. Yeah. And me. I will not struggle, my children. I told you my father one day I was talking to my father and my father said, what did my father say? You are not my only child. You are not. Yeah, I was asking. I said give me this land. And he didn't say anything. Then the letter. I asked him again, said the land and I had forced him to answer. And his answer was you are not my only child. And I want you to know you are not my only child. You're not my only children. There are plenty others. Yeah, so set up because when daily little little sacrifices stops. I can't play the piano free. I have to charge. I can't play the guitar free. I have to charge. I can't come early and open it unless you have to hire me. You have to pay my transport to go from here to here. I have to do this. Everything I do, my car tires. When I come to Lausanne every day, my tires are wearing out. My car insurance is going higher because the mileage is going up. My this, this, that. My car does have to pay train about more. I need this. I can't. I'm tired. This and all those things, fine. I agree with you. We take it away, you are left with desolation. That's what's happening. And Pastor Jimmy, Pastor Jimmy is almost 60 years old. You may not know that. He looks, he looks, he looks even younger than younger than me. He's almost 60 years old. Yeah. And he has been doing this work not as a 30 something year old person or even 20s. Up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down. You see. And some of us look at us and all of you young, young people, you better sit up and go. We are getting older. So we need younger people to be pastors. We can't do this work forever. Are you listening to me? Yeah, we need young people. So you better become spiritual. Stop watching pornography and other foolish films and start praying. Reading your Bible so. Who is the first person who is against the sacrifice? The Antichrist. Yeah. So Can you imagine this? What is happening in Switzerland? You see, the same spirit of the Antichrist is fighting. How is it fighting? Is fighting the sacrifice? The foundation of the whole ministry is under threat. What has carried us, what we have supported ourselves on, to have a church in Alton, a church in Ben, a church in Lausanne, a church in Basil, a church in where Luten, church in Zurich, Sangalan, Vintatu, Shafousini were supposed to have a church. All those places, it all has to close down because there's nobody ready to pay the daily sacrifice. Yeah, OK, good, good. The second person who is against the sacrifice is no other than Judas Iscariot. Page 27 Somebody should open the doors, it's getting hot. Then took Mary a pound of ointment or spike, an art very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot Simon's sons, which would be trained. Why, why, why why oh why Superfly? Why was not disappointment sold for 300 pens and given to the poor? Judas was against this whole thing that was done. You can sense who somebody is by the way the person reacts towards precious sacrifices that are made, yes, and towards even gifts that are being given to pastors. Why should he have that? Why should he do? Why? Why not? But you see, who is it who was against the sacrifice of Mary? No, other than who? Was it Thomas? Was it Peter? It was Judas. So these are two characters. We have seen the Antichrist and now we are seeing Judas. They are both against people sacrificing things. And I Can you believe I have in my church, one of my little secretaries who worked with me when she was coming to put and she finished university, she had first class. She said, I just want to work with Bishop. She has worked with me now for like 6 or seven years. Someone of her pastors went to talk to. She said, no, no, no, it's not a good idea. Don't do this, Do this, do this, do this. Go and do this. Yeah. You see, what I'm trying to say is that Judas was a pastor, you know, and he was advising somebody, you know, this is a waste of money. It's a waste of your talent. First class university this this, this is a waste. So that missionaries should be going be careful. They'll be advising the pastors will not say no Satans, no Satans. You know, Satan, no Satans, pastors. So you may think, but I see, because sacrifice looks like foolishness, that I'm telling you, brothers and sisters, when you take away sacrifice, you bring in desolation. The. Third person who is against. I'm giving you three people who are against that. And all these characters, I don't think you like to emulate any of them. A fat person is no other person than Satan. Page 28. All the verses are in the book. Those of you who think I'm not reading the Bible, Matthew 16 From that time forth, Jesus began to show unto his disciples how that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer. Hey, suffer many things of the elders. Are you with me? Matthew 1621 and chief priest and be killed. Have you all got the book? Who doesn't have the book? Get one. Why don't you get one? It's not possible. OK. Then Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying B. But didn't you bring some? Yeah, they are. They are in that suitcase. Same thing. Jerry. Open it. Get it for them. I prefer you to have the book where you want to go. You can read it, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, we have some there. OK, I can read the the verse whilst how many people are going out? So just just Jerry should just open. He just open and then you just come he'll bring the books to you. So let's read Matthew 16. Those of you who don't have it says and be killed and raised again the 3rd then Peter took him. Peter took him. Now who took him Peter? Is Peter a good person, or a bad person? Bad or good, good, good? Peter took him, and he was a pastor, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from the Lord, this shall not be unto thee. But he turned and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan, thou at an offence unto me. Amen. For thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Amen. Look, this is the highest form of discernment you will ever have to make when somebody close to you, somebody dear to you, speaks. And it is Satan speaking. This one is not it's husband. There are only few people that can be husband, wife, father, mother, associate, friend, very close. And who you are Sure, for years the person loves you. And when the person speaks, you know that the person is Satan. Yeah. So a small thing for him to be able to say Satan. Me, I've never rebuked any of my person by calling him Satan before. If I say to you, Satan, would you like it? You don't like it, You get it? Yeah. Satan kept it behind. Now what was Satan trying to do? None. Oh, OK. Booklet is sacrificing it. Sorry. All right, I left them in South Africa. Actually, I was giving more, but I left some there. All right. OK. Good. No problem. Yeah. You can share some of you have the book at home you can give to. Yeah. That's the people who don't have. OK, Now listen. Listen. Are you there? Listen very, very carefully. You. What was Satan trying to do? Was he trying to do witchcraft? He was trying to do a stop sacrifice. Satan has entered the church in Switzerland, and only one thing he's trying to do is to stop the sacrifice. That's all. Yeah, that's all is Satan. And you must identify. And he's speaking through pastors. Yeah, speaking through pastors. What is this? Why should you do this? Why should you do that? He has entered the church, and he speak and his voice is heard. Yeah. And that's why someone said I know that. I know that. He'll just use you. That's awesome. He'll just use you. I heard somebody talk. I said, he'll just use you. Be there and continue to say words. I commit. I commend you to the airwaves of life. Yeah, I know that. OK. You know me. Do you know God? Be careful. Oh, be careful. The things you say and your thoughts. Jesus said I'm going to suffer and I'm going to die. No, you're not suffer. It's bad. As long as I'm here, this nonsense will not continue. As long as I'm here, the nonsense will stop. I am Reverend so and so. I am Pastor so and so, and I'm pointing out to you that this guy is using you, monkey de wet, baboon de chop. You're not baboons, are you a baboons? But that's all. So through that there will be no more church in Basil, no more church in Alton, no more church here, no more church here. Desolation. It's like a place has become empty. Quiet, you see, barren, frightening, dark, destitute, lonely because the presence of the devil came to work in our midst and spoke against lay ministry, spoke against sacrifice, spoke against preaching without being paid, playing instruments without being paid, singing without being paid, and all these wonderful things that we were doing for the Lord and make you feel like a fool. That's that's what has happened here. Are you listening to me? How many agree with what I'm saying? How many realize that what I'm saying Judas Iscariot, Satan and the Antichrist against the daily sacrifice? Yeah. OK, my brothers and sisters, so don't, don't joke around with this concept. It's it's so foundational. It's it's the basis on which everything we are doing is the basis of everything. So you take it away. What do we have left? We just have, we just have games. We're finished. We can only be in Geneva where you have job WHN whatever. So now I'm going to ask you to go. Some of you, you know, listen to me. Listen to. Because even if I'm a fool, you know, the Bible says that obey your father for that, for this is right. Even if your father is a fool and you obeyed him, you are blessed because God has put a certain blessing even on the foolishness of your father, so that even when he speaks his foolishness, it is the right thing to do. What he's saying. Yeah, I tell you so that he said, I don't know what to do. I don't know what's the right thing to do. Obey your father, for this is right. That's the right thing. You think about it. How old is your child? Five. What is right for your child in this world? What's right for your five year old child? What you say is what is right. Any other variation is probably not right. What his friend told him in school, what he watched on television, is that right? What he saw on his phone, what he saw playing, whatever, which one is right? It's what Even is saying that's the right thing in this world. You know what your family appearing is, what is right. It's such a base. Even your stupidity is what is right for him. Your, your absolute madness is still the rightness for him. That's, that's the blessing that God has given. That's the blessing that God has given for children, that what your father says is the right thing. What your father says is the right thing. This is right. That's what's right. And obviously my position, all of you will be in my position one day as a father. You will be parents, you will be mothers, you will be fathers. You will see all the things that I'm saying. OK, so let's sacrifice again. Can we can we go to Germany? Not far. I'm not I'm not sending you far. You stop eating France, you eat EUR eat EUR Instead of eating France, you eat EUR. So that I look at the people who work in the United. I saw my as a when I talk to, I realized even I would not even bother to ask you to even make some manoeuvres because there are so many UNS at different places that you could be, you could work at. I remember when you see and that's the thing when you obey God and you prosper in the obedience, people think that you went there because of money. But all the people that are saying they are, they have been so blessed. One missionary, he wasn't used to work in the England. He was a businessman. I sent him to an African country recently. He told me. He said that I am worth more. He was rich there. He said to me I am worth. More and. When I was in the UK, I'm talking about a businessman, a rich person. I knew it was really because of what he used to give me. Yeah, that's how you can know whether when somebody has, most people don't give, but they don't have anything to give or or because they are Swiss, forgive. And he's coming here saying things about, look, I am more Swiss than most of you here, half of me exactly Swiss. And Paul in his Bible, he said I have heard a report that the Christians from Crete, then he sent titles to Crete. He said the Christians are slow bellied and they are this and they are lazy and they are that. So that in groups of people you have certain spirits. Yeah. Or a Swiss person will open his palm and give you 5 francs. Look at the levels. Why should I waste my money on on you? That thing seeps into the church. What was I telling? I was telling you something. OK, Germany. I'm sending you to Germany. God told me. Go to Germany. On the way here. Yeah, on the way here. I'm not lie to you. Go to Germany. This is the next thing that God wants to do is Germany. Yeah, I know it's also a hard place, but this is what God wants to do. We have to go there. And I want to just obey it. Yeah. I want to let people to go and find jobs there. Move into the towns. Let's believe. Go and build churches all over Germany. There I want people, but Switzerland? We need to have examples and I want these young people, let me tell you, are the next pastors in this church. Our hairs are getting changing color. Can you see that? But last. Two days ago I was very sad. I was speaking to a pastor. And he was talking about, you know. Young guys. Who are coming up? We need fathers this, this, this, and some of the older guys and the younger guys and talking older as he was talking older guys, the younger guys older. So why do I first help? You are the older guys. I was so sad. I didn't say anything, but I was very sad. Oh, today I'm being categorized as older guys. When you look at my face, am I old, strong, very strong? Are you listening? Next chapter, sacrifice Germany. Tell your friend that man has not forgotten about a Germany that he mentioned. Now chapter 4. This is a harmony understanding. That it's a mighty foundation of the. Church. Yeah. Now the next substitute. Sacrifice this. Is what the Antichrist will do, Daniel. 11 Verse 31 AAM shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary and take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. All right. Now what they actually did was that they put a pig, do you get it swine onto. The whatever. 10 to page 34 people who do not sacrifice to God sacrifice to something else. Everybody will sacrifice to something I'm reading, but the. Question is. What will be sacrificed and to whom will this sacrifice be made? All of us in Switzerland have really sacrificed. Is it not true? Duke, have you not sacrificed to be here? Yes, your personal life. You go to work all the time even. Have you not paid the price? To be here, yeah. You work hard, don't you? Yeah. So this has been God. 'S struggle with his people, his people always find something else to. Sacrifice to and find something else. To sacrifice for except him, so the people of Israel sacrifice. To idols, to pigs, to this but. Not to God. And today it's happening again. The people. Of God instead of. Sacrificing their life for God and to God they have found other things. WHO? I'll sacrifice for you, Waipo. I'll sacrifice for United Nations. I sacrifice Negro. I sacrifice for you. Go up. I'll sacrifice for you. UBS I sacrifice for you. I sacrifice for you. McDonald's I sacrifice for you. We always find something else, and we will. Pay the price. Yeah, You'll be there Monday. Tuesday. Sometimes they say you should stay late, isn't it? So I say there are meetings. Isn't it Sometimes there's something important coming over time. You have to come early. Me, I've I've worked in Switzerland before. One time I came here, I went to work I. Decided I was so. Broke so I went to work somewhere the most. Difficult. Part. Is when you have. To wake up early. In the winter. There's no light home. You have to believe that it is daytime. By looking at the watch. That's how you know that it's morning. You you have to look at the water and believe that. It is. 6:00 in the morning. And you cannot afford to be late if you are late, you. You. I mean you. Can't be late here. Some of you are the latest. People in the world, but Switzerland have made you early look at all that. You have sacrificed so much. Get up early in the morning, winter this catching a bus, going to work, doing this train, this time for a few francs. Now God says, OK, come, my son, I want to send it to Congo Law, law. I can get up on the military. I can do this for 20 years. But for you, for you, Lord, I should do this for you, Lord, you are not worthy of me to do something like this. I can pay for WHOI can pay for some Swiss francs. But for you, Lord, you are not worthy of my you know my time and my life. I can give the best years of my life to WHO? But Lord, I can't do that for you. Or you are just somebody we want to come to in heaven. Lord, stay quietly in heaven. We have some other things here as we have to do with our lives. Lord, just relax over there. Don't try to change too many things. We like. You Lord, on Sunday mornings, we like you on Sunday. Please stay quietly. On Sunday. Morning, we will come there on Sunday and give an offering. Lord cool down, you are speaking too much. Yeah. Yes, you see, now you are prepared to make. Every. Sacrifice. There's no sacrifice to stay in Geneva. How about? People who work in Geneva are sent to. Angola, I know somebody was working at is it WHO or. Where's that refugee? What are they called? Are you UNHCR? She wants to stay in Angola. Ladies are sent to Angola and different places, isn't it? They stay there sometimes one year, 2 years. Yeah. They leave their husbands here and they go husband with children. You live here, you go to Angola, war zones. And now I come and I say Rwanda. I say Lesotho. Then you say. You start to get epilepsy in. The church epilepsy. You don't. Have epilepsy, but you have. Started having epileptic attacks, convulsions because I've mentioned Rwanda. Meanwhile. When the UN was sending you were prepared to go. I have one of my. Lay pastors he was sent to is it Nepal? Nepal, yeah. He went to work for the United Nations. He worked at the New York. He was working there for some time. They said, brother, it is time for you to go somewhere. Nepal there. He was there for some time. They said now it's time to go to Afghanistan. Right now. He's there. I passed out with the Taliban. Taliban. I tell you see with the Taliban fully one day a certain church member of our. Church in new. Jersey. He rang. The pastor in New Jersey, he said. Hello Pastor. Pray. You know where he was called? Pray he was calling from. Baghdad He. Was calling. From Baghdad, Yeah, during the hottest time of the war, he a. Ghanaian, He has gone to join. Them because of money and they have sent him to Baghdad and because the person was telling. Himself. Look, the guy said, you can die. Because of money. And you, I said. I'm sending. You to Rwanda. The war is over. Not that the war. Is in the war is finished and I'm sending you not go. So that's what I'm This is what the This is what Antiochus Epiphanes did. He stopped the sacrifice to God and changed it with a pig, which is the greatest offense to Israel. When we go to Israel, you see, you cannot. Order pork chops. There they don't have pork. When I was in Israel, I asked pork, can I do you have any pork? Because me, I like pork. I don't eat beef, I don't eat all those other meat. I just like pork. So I said, can I have some pork? I said, what pork? It was better that I understood the story. Of the prodigals, and when the Bible said he went with the swine. It meant that he was at the lowest. I'm in fattest condition. I was feeding. Not that he. Was eating. There he was. Feeding them, yeah, it was a far condition. Amen. So they took a pig and instead of sacrificing something holy to God, he'd exchange it. Sacrificed something else. So instead of. Sacrificing. Your life to God you sacrifice one day I was. Watching CNN, I saw a. Lady with a black, this thing on the eye like this. Do you know who she was? A journalist. They have removed her eye in Iraq or one of those times They have removed. Yeah. And she's still going. You see a beautiful lady like that with the with the eyeliner, one eye with a black thing with a rope going around the head like that. These are the prices. People pay. And you sit here, you pay all those when it comes to work for God and you can say when it comes to come, come, just come for a camp. When it comes to make an arrangement for your children, don't even tell me about those children. Don't. Even say it. It's such a shame for you to even say it. Don't even say it. How you come and put? Food on the table that we. Really have to sacrifice the rice. Cost so much from me grow the. Tomato cost this. I have to work in the night to do it. The chicken was brought from here. We have to steam it. All this and that. We have to. Everything that you have brought with so many expanded, even the food. We don't like the food again. We won't eat it again. Too many Spanish before you come to sit here. Don't come with your children. And what we I have four children 4. I have 4:00. And a lot of spirituality. Don't mention those children to me. Don't talk about what you are saying, you know. When we started rearing children. You know, we started. Rearing children? You think I shouldn't say? I'll say it. Don't mention it. Don't mention your work, what you have to do. As I have come, I've not. Mentioned so many things and that's why I said I don't like it when we have to say I did this, I did this, I did when that thing happens, there's something wrong. Don't mention my school. My you know the school that I've been to. You know the school that I. Went to. You know how I suffer? A school where they they think the more you suffer, the better it's going in. You don't know threats and what can it for? Seven years medical school, dissecting dead bodies. Following flies from this, everything can be done, can be done. Doing it, working the night, delivering babies, going to the ward, emergency ward. With all that combining it with being a pastor and starting the church which you are enjoying today being threatened. They threatened me that I will not pass my exams because of the church. I could not, I could not drive my car into the hospital's. Campus. They threatened me that I will not pass. I was standing. The doctors, I was standing outside the door. He was talking about me. He said that that guy and those who do not pass the exams, I don't. I almost mentioned his there. I shouldn't mention his there. But I wrote his name in my Bible. I wrote it by apathy. Psalm 81 of the Psalms. I wrote his name by it, and I applied that Psalm to him. The next time I head off, him and Roberts were in his house. Yeah. You said I will not pass. Why? Yeah. And when I came and came to. The exam because of. The Churchill. I saw him. I came to him, I passed everywhere except where he was. And he marked me down. Oral exam, medicine clinicals. And when they went for the the interview, they said he's part this. Excellent. This, this, this only UI. So what, what happened? What did you I said no, no, he's I said I was the top five of the whole medical school. Top five. They called me back to come without going to district to go and work there. Yeah, they won't want to finish me off. Do you know what I've done before? I became all true that I've started. This check this same thing that you are enjoying today. So you, you are sitting here there. Is no need there. There is no need. For me to go over and over what I have done for you and you too, when you come here, I don't want to hear of children, of your job, your job, that you are a chairman of a meeting. You may be a doorman for the meeting. I don't care. I don't want to hear whose chairman you are. I don't want to know about it. All of us have. How? Do you think this is OK he's come from? Barcelona, he has come. From Hamburg we have not paid anything for him to come. We have not asked him to come. They have made. All the move to Jessica, but they hear that. I'm coming here. They drove. They drove here. Did you also drive from Barcelona? You flew? Yeah. We're not paying for them to come or anything like they just come you here, here, Lausanne and Geneva, Lausanne and Geneva. I can look at somebody at those seven years for seven hours from Hamburg to come here because it's so exciting. And then you have to come with your Spanish of your children, your this, your job, your that is not like that. Yes, play this this. Don't think I want to eat your food when you put your food in front of me and you explain to me this rice is from. Co-op and normally we get it from Negro at 1420 but we had to buy it at 1980. Normally we buy from Co. OP But we have to buy this one from Negro and this chicken. We bought it from Placet instead of. Are you there or you've gone home? Migration Immigrants, page 37. What are you laughing at? Sacrifice of immigrants page 37 one day I met a. Certain guy in Amsterdam. And I asked him, will you come? To church tomorrow, he said no. I said why? He said, well, I'm busy and I'm tired and I want to rest. But as we were chatting there, he told me how he came to Amsterdam. He said from Takradi Harbor. You know Takradi, he said. He said. Harbor town. In Ghana. He said he. Went on the ship. Came on the ship and was coming, and the captain of the. Ship caught him. And brought him back or send them back, he said. The third time the captain caught him. I don't know whether he was in the engine. He was in the engine you see instead of. Being in A room. Or instead of being in the cabin, he was in the engine of the ship and they found him there. Yeah. And then he said they threw him into the. Water in the middle. Of the sea full of shacks and. Everything. And he said. From the middle of. The sea. The ocean. He swam. He saw the land and he swam. I'm not, it's not a fairy tale I've told you. I don't tell jokes. You know the person. He swam from the ocean, through the currents there, sharks, everything. He came to the land. And when he came to the land, he saw some people ask them. Where is this he? Said this is Liberia. This is Liberia. This is Liberia, Yeah. Yeah. So he walked back to Ghana from Liberia. And. This is a. Person who cannot come to church on Sunday morning, he did it for the first time. He went inside the engine. Again. And this time he was experienced. They were not able to catch him when the ship arrived in Amsterdam. And he went and he came out. He said when I came out, I'm free. He went, He got a white girl. He married her. Then he took out his right pass. That's part. You see, I'm now Dutch. Yeah. He was happy here. Free. And this is the price that he's paying. Be there, but he cannot lift his. Ass excuse me to support forgive my my whatever. He cannot lift his bottom. Is it the right word to come to? Church. Look at First Corinthians chapter 10. Verse 20 What does it say? But I say that. The things which the. Gentiles sacrifice. They sacrifice to devils they are also sacrificing. But what are they sacrificing to? To the devil. They're sacrificing for the Kingdom of their world, their world to advance and to move on. Amen. Bankers and accountants, pilots, they travel all the time. They never know what is under the plane. The Pan Am. Plane that was bombed 1 Pan Am fell into the. Water from new. York, it fell over Long Island, it came into the water. They found the pilot. The pilot was in his chair with his seat belt on in the chair that's sitting deep down in the water because they didn't know what what was in the plane. And they do it every day. It's nothing. And when we say do this for God and tennis go up. Amen. All right. All right, all right, page 40. 1. The sacrifice. Of the dead people sacrifice for funerals. Amen. Isn't it? Now finally, we are going to end with this for tonight, John chapter. 12 verse 23 page 43 Sacrifice the Master. Key to fruitfulness Amen. Jesus answering, said unto them, the. Hour. Is come that the Son of man should be glorified? Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruits. Amen. Hey. Now. When you hear. Many messages there comes a. Time that you become a seed a seed is the potential do you hear me when you hear many messages over and. Over and over again. It condenses in your heart and you become a seed and seeps form within you. Now all these condensed, repeated messages of the word. Of God. In you that is a seed cannot be useful to the world except the seed that is in you and actually you are the seed falls into the ground and dies, which means undergo. Some kind of? Decay. So Jesus Christ was a great. Seed to this world. But he had to go into the world, the ground, and die, no? Matter how great you are and no matter what you do. You need to come to the place where you die for God. So all of you lay past this. You must be at the place where you can die. For God, otherwise there is. Something that is missing. Duke, are you hearing me? Yeah. It's great. You are nice, Pastor. I hear you. But there is something that you lack and that you lack is. What I'm reading about. Because when I say to you, come now. We may have you. May see me for a long meeting after church, at which meeting I will fall asleep. There won't be any meeting. You see if you ask your friends. Who? Don't say anything that is not yeah. Opposition. Am I saying something? Yeah. It's easy to say all these verses and coach them by the. Day and preach them and God says do this now that's what you see so yeah, I don't trust anybody unless the person moves. And what I mean if I say come so oh come I'll come when I see you moving then I say oh it's true. Yeah. And I believe that's why this one I'm waiting for him to move. Amen. So there's this comes a time a. Time to die, a time where you come say, Bishop, here I am, sent me. So he said I want to work full time. Come to Ghana. I'm in Ghana. Come report. I'll give you work. You will never rest till you die. I have more work. You cannot finish it. You want to work? Yeah. I'll give you more work. You you will not finish working before. You die, I tell you. You come all the people that work with. Me. The problem is they don't rest, Yeah. The work of God, nobody knows what it is like till you start doing that. You see that I went with some people to South Africa recently. When I was coming back. They were just a Bishop. We have a very different impression. When you travel and come. Because they have not sat down from the moment we arrive in South Africa till we were back on the plane. Because when we arrive like here, you see, I came from the airport, I came last. Night it's the same time in. South Africa's here. I left there around 4-5 and I flew when I arrived here. There's nothing like that. I know something when they fly and they. Come, I have to sleep. That's a rest tomorrow, then we work. If I do that, I don't know when I'll go home. So as I arrive, I'm on my feet. Yeah, yeah. And I'll be on. My feet till I finish and I'm out. 10 hours and then wait and cross and check delay and come get here at 12. Yeah, you get it. And they were surprised. So we. Thought we go shopping there's. Nothing like shopping shop Where which which shop am I going to go to as I'm here from here I'm. Straight. To the airport which shop is it me grow or Co-op? You are laughing at me Which which? Shop. Am I going to go to Lausanne Shopping? Where? When? At which point? Will I go? You haven't thought about that? So you may not so but you when you ask. That you have a feeling. Oh yeah. Fly, fly here there. This do do come smoke. That's why I say you come. You say you want to work for God. Come. I mean, Ghana, when you come, I'll give you work so that we all work for God. Yeah. So you want to do something for God? Come. I'll send you somewhere. Yeah. So that you go, but for now I'm just sending you to Germany. I'm just saying I'm not sending you far and I'm not sending you to be full time to be paid by the church. So just go and live there. So in other words, just relocate because of God. Why don't you try doing something for God? Mr. Rigid man, ask Mr. Rigid. Man, Mr. Rigid Man, Mr. Rigid Man, why don't you try doing something for God for a change? Why can we not have somebody from Geneva to go to Paris? Somebody. Who speaks French? Yeah, who here speaks French? Or Lausanne? Who here? Speaks French Stand. If you speak French, stand up.

Samuel and Sabine and Joseph. Joseph, Can you imagine if these guys. Who give themselves and not quarrel? And not be filled with devils and just work for God as let people do whatever. Can you imagine what will happen in for the next 5-10 years? That's why I gave you the example that I. Said I said Pastor. You can ask Pastor Richard what were. You in the church in in Ghana he was called bad almighty. Yeah, somebody who sit there. Quietly. He doesn't say anything. Not a word. He doesn't have anything to say. I don't have anything to say. No, no, I'm serious, Macbeth said it. He wasn't quoting. A script. But he said there is no act to find the mind's construction in the face. You can't know and see when you are young. Ladies, do you have a child? Do you have a child? Do you see this guy? He has. Three children or two? Two and another one is coming. That's why he cannot go. He's way down. That was every weight and the same and the weights and weight is not a same. But it makes you heavy. As soon as you have a. Child No. You struggle a bit. Everything is modern me. Sometimes I wish my children were much older, because it's only my children that make me think of whom. Yeah, I have to go back. It's true. It's like you have you have to care. For so you think about them. They look at you like they don't know. Anything innocent their. Life depends on you. They were finished. Yeah. Children. One sister comes.

I'm sending you. It's my love for. You that makes me send you. I'm telling people sometimes think I don't like them. That's why I send them the opposite. Because you will never become what you can become. Unless you are sent, you'll never become. It. You sit amongst us all the time, but you'll never become who you are. Two minutes, man 2 minutes.

We know, and the road will be mighty and wrought, but we will gather heaven. You are afraid. Don't be afraid all. My life I've been encouraging one day. I went to America to a church in. Seattle. And I preached and there was a pastor there who said something about me that I've never had anybody say about me before, but I took note of it because sometimes you don't even know your calling. He said something to somebody. He said that he's the person. Who had invited me? He had the. Picture he said that his calling is to challenge people to work for God. Yeah, that's all that I do. I always encourage and challenge people to do something for God. Yeah, I never heard anybody describe me in that way before. His call is to. Challenge. So when he speaks, we are challenged to do. Something for God. Yeah, hey. It's. Beautiful. You can. Ask for Sir Richard when he came to London, I said come. He came now. His beloved was. Like Sabine, she was just there, no married, whatever. Then I said, come, you don't have anywhere to stay, so you have to stay with her. So can we? Will marry. We will marry you now. So we got FS an apartment recently. We went there a few weeks ago. We went there in North London and there in the sitting room, we arranged the sitting room chairs to here, to here, said come. We invited 5 people, isn't it? We were 16, including me, six, the bride and the groom, and then three people. We pray, they signed and we prayed to the vows first word so that he could be there, so that he could be there. And I'm telling you that today we had a. Women's daughter. You can make not in London, not in London, not in Leeds, far north, about six hours. And there more than one. 1000 women, yellow and black daughter. You come with my wife, my wife, whom I married. Is it not fantastic? You never know what. God can do. And we came back after one year. Pastor Richard had grown fat, I said. Pastor Richard. What are you doing? How many? People were there in the. Church there were not. Many people in the church, about eight or nine people, I've been eating sausages and eating sausages because is it not true? So we rebuilt him. After he was working in a factory. Carrying boxes here, up here, doing the church. That's what he did and we're rebuking. Stop eating the sausages. He reduced weight, started fasting, praying after. Two years the church had had. To grow. Hey, you see? But you never. Know what somebody will become gradually, gradually, gradually. So you guys you may think I'm doing, I don't. Have I've told you I don't joke? That's. What? I'm just. I'm very serious. You go, you can do well. Yeah. Chris, come. How old are you? Stand here, Stand by this. Guy. Stand by the 25 year old. Guy they they look the same, but. They are not the same. This is 15 years. Older 15. Years younger. He can still. Learn more He cannot bend an old tree, An old tree an old dog cannot easily. You cannot easily teach an old dog new tricks. So these are young guys. If they are, if they really love God, you guys really love God. You love God. Be sure you love God. Who love a God. But what? That's it. She loved me. Nobody called me. Nobody said that I love God. When I met Bishop, I need that he also loved God. We just wanted to do anything. And through it all, God. Will take you step by step by step by step by. Step by step, yeah. Yeah, I feel lucky that some of us are around to be telling you this. Here's a book read. They do this, do this. Germany, people, we are still waiting to see you. Invasion of Who are those here who speak German? German speaking? Are you not learning German? You speak. Are you sure I speak German? Are you?

That one is easy, isn't it? We are all loyal. How many will agree with me that we are? I'm going to. Teach you unloyalty, we are going to drive out. Any disloyal people by the signs, we are not going to wait for it to be full blown like some of these guys who have broken our churches. And taking most of the members. Away. Is it not true? Yeah, we had nice churches and where, where and. Where and where and where? No shuttel to They've taken their people. No shuttel. Somewhere somebody has taken some. Of them, Ali Kantu, somebody has. Taken. They have taken bad, and they've taken a large section of them away anywhere, all tin taking a church away. Yeah, they've taken it to where? They just went away. And let people follow them. You get it. That's Lutan. Yeah. So we are going to, we're going to deal with science. We are not going to wait for anything to grow. When you show some science, that's what they're like.

What's the last one? How many do you have? 7 foundations. No. Women are great. That's not a foundation for us now. Amen. You have foundation, but not in this message. Maybe the next camp. The women will be foundations in that one. Mighty foundations too. So I hope when I come, you will. Not tell me that your child your. Job, you are a chairman and what again?

Stand on your feet, hold your neighbor, say I'm glad I sat by you, you were good company, you helped me to stay awake. So your neighbor. Don't be worried if it applied to you because it is true. Yeah. How many feel that some animals are dying in the land? In Jesus. Name Father. Thanks for your. Blessing as we go in Jesus name. Amen. God bless you. 6:00 we start tomorrow morning. Thank you. Oh, I said we're going to take an offering. Yeah, I forgot. Sorry. Take out a good offering. Forgot to take an offering. Take out something. Please. I'm not. Interested in coins? Or that's all you have. OK. Take out a better offering. I want somebody to. Pay for my ticket to come here. Amen. Yeah, it's an offering. Is it a powerful thing? So take out a good offering that can pay a loan. Is that somebody who says wants to pay? You want to pay? Wow, powerful. I receive it. Lift up your offering. Let's. Pray Father, thank you we receive this. Offering in Jesus name, Amen. I just receive it. Whatever you want to give, just give it. Want to pay for ticket anything just pay. Put in the offering by tomorrow and the next day I want us to. Have given a very good offering that can pay a. Lot of the bills that are concerned that concern this whole ministry, Amen, Amen. Don't only give a good offering when you are promised a prophetic and mean breakthrough of some kind of miraculous. Just give because I say give. That's what's right to do and God will bless you. Amen. Try not to give coins. But if that's what you have, that's fine. Somebody needs to remind me to take off because I normally when I'm at the camp, I. Don't think about offerings. So you need to remind me, but I I completely forget about it. But I want you to give so that we have a good offering to help to pay some of the bills. Amen. Have you given the offer? I'm waiting the frontier. There's some people at the back. What's happening there? Books, people. OK. Who has stolen my 100 rounds? Who is going to South Africa? May you prosper in South Africa in Jesus name. Father, thanks for your blessing. As we gave tonight. In Jesus name, Amen. God bless you for some hours. I want to see the offering that by. The end of the camp. Because I want us to be able to give and pay some things. So please give generously. Don't let me count magic. I see 37, the number 3737 thousand francs will be given. No, please just trust what? And be a generous Christian. Giver. Amen. You are blessed. God bless you see in the morning.
