Welcome to track #4 of finish what you started. Can we continue with our laws of loyalty? Is it working for you? Have you got a single eye? How many of you have developed a single? Someone told me that I've had a single eye now. No, now I've got a single eye. You also have a single eye now. Even if you didn't have it from now, you have a single eye. Now you only see one thing because the other eye is an evil eye. It's a very, very bad eye to have very, very bad eye. So now we all have single eye. OK, the next law says that loyalty demands the right attitude. Loyalty calls for the right attitude. Loyalty demands the right attitudes. OK, you must have the right. When you say you are loyal, it shows in your attitude. Your attitude tells and speaks a lot about your loyalty, that the loyalty demands the right attitude. It calls for it. It demands for it. It's it's necessary that if you are loyal, you have a certain attitude. You shouldn't give wrong signals. A loyal person doesn't give wrong signals. A loyal person doesn't give a signal that I'm not sure whether I'm with you or I am not with you. So if a loyal person when you are preaching will be shouting, Amen. A loyal person when you are you are preaching will be saying it's a good message. A loyal person when you are preaching will be shouting. Yes, a loyal person when you are preaching will be smiling. A loyal person, even if the word is causing pain, will be saying it's a good word. It's a fantastic word because loyalty demands the right attitude. You can't be loyal and just be there. We will not be sure of what you are thinking. We can't be sure what they are thinking. The right thing. So if you're loyal in your church, then the message is coming. It demands the right attitude, the right response. You must give the right response to the message as you are hearing that there must be Amen, there must be, I'm being blessed. There must be standings, there must be shoutings, there must be screamings. There must be excitement. It demands, it calls for it. Because if you are just there now, we don't know. Do you like it? What are you thinking? What is going on in your mind? Are you enjoying it? Are you angry? What are you saying? What are you thinking? I mean, what are you thinking? So when you are loyal, the right attitude is important. Those of you in the corner, right attitude is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very important. Loyalty demands the right attitude. Things you say, things you don't say, your body language, your expressions. It demands the right attitude. Whether you like it, you must express yourself. We have to see. It demands the right attitude. A certain lady. She came to see me not long after her honeymoon and she said, she said to me, Pastor, talk to my husband. I said, what do you want me to talk to your husband about? Said I really want you to tell him something. I said what is it? She said will you tell him for me? I said tell me what you want me to tell him. I will tell him I'm talking about loyalty demands the right attitude. We want to know what you are thinking. We want to know what you are feeling. We want to know whether you are happy. We want to know whether you are enjoying life. So she said. Pastor, you see. I want you to talk to him, I said I will talk to him, but what do you want me to talk to him about? He said, she said when he's. Whether the beginning, the middle or the end, he doesn't say anything. He doesn't show anything. He's just there. I can't tell whether he's happy, whether he's not happy. So Pastor, tell him to say something. Tell him. I want him to show something. I want to know that he's happy. I want to know that he's working. I want to know that he's enjoying it. Telling he must say something. So I said pastor, say something, my brother, say something. So when the preacher is good, say something. When the church is good, say something. When you are blessed in the church, say something. Show that you are happy in the church. Show that you are enjoying the church or just being the church. Say to your pastor you're a nice pastor. Say to your pastor that your preaching is very nice. Give us the right attitude. Don't be inexpressive in the church. Don't be like that, brother. Whether the beginning, the middle or the end demands the right attitude. Have the right flow. We want the right flow. I think after you, I think after you had breakfast, you've got the right attitude. So I don't know whether your attitude is loyal attitude or breakfast attitude. No, Give the right attitude as I give the right attitude in church. Say the right things. Say the right things about your church. The church members tell the right about the other people in the church. Say the right things about the pastors. Say the right things. Say the say something and say the right things. Don't just be there. You don't talk, you don't say anything. We don't know whether you are happy or not. It's like today you are happy, tomorrow you're not happy. It's like today you're in the flow. Tomorrow you're not in the flow. So you see how you're in the flow now. This afternoon be in the flow. This evening be in the flow. Tomorrow morning, be in the flow. Tomorrow afternoon, be in the flow. Tomorrow evening, be in the flow. Let your flow be consistent. Don't be like the brother beginning middle and have the right attitude. Have the right flow and the right strength. Amen. Ezekiel chapter 34 is the right attitude coming to the church. Say what Message Stadium OK, Ezekiel 34 and verse 18 is It seemeth in a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures, and to have drunk of the deep waters. But you must foul the residue with your feet. And As for my flock, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet. You have the right ID. You don't destroy something that is good. That someone who is now coming to enjoy the thing that has been a blessing to you, by the time the person gets there, the thing has been fouled, is not a right attitude to have. Tell us something that has been a blessing to you and something that has been good to you and you see what you see. Something good. Don't destroy that thing. Don't spoil that thing. Don't say negative things about that thing. A certain brother recently, some pastors were trying to advise him on something and then he freaked out on the pastors and started talking. Is it because you're pastors? What? Because you're pastors this, Because this, this, you know, And I said, hey, I said, look, he don't talk that way. He don't behave that way. You don't raise your voice as pastors because as you are working, you want to be a pastor. One day you want someone to call you a pastor. Church members are stand by looking at the pastor and the pastor. That has been a blessing. The flood should come and eat from a pastor that you have defiled and you have thrown Maddox and you have said you think you're a pastor. So what? They think they're pastors because they are pastors. And when you're a pastor, it's different from when you are not a pastor. And it's an important thing that you must handle well so that you can also become a pastor and not this develop a negative attitude and a negative feel that was becoming pastors and towers pastors and not to in other words, what you are saying, Sir, because you're a pastor is I said the best that what you are is nothing. I'll be like you soon. I shall also rise up and sit where you are. So what you what you have is nothing. I can it's like it's not like I cannot cheat. After all, I'm on pop after I'm on pop, I'm on pop two. I'm on pop 2 and pop 3. So after all what you are, I will be, I will become it soon. So it's like clear off your passes are clear off. I'm not far from becoming what you are. And what you are is nothing to me now because I can become it. I can become it if I'm not being for these human barriers. In actual fact, I even feel like a pastor. It's just that it's just pap one, Pap 2, pap 3 in my check. They call me pastor. So you're telling pastors clear of you have the you have the bad attitude and the wrong attitude and it's called misbehavior. You are misbehaving. It's a wrong behavior. It's an unacceptable behavior because if you're a loyal person, I mean, how can such a person become a pastor? How can such a person become a person when you don't have the right attitude? How can you, how can you be part of the pastoral group when you've told all the persons that clear off, set your persons clear off. Who said you show off? Remove yourself because you don't have the right attitude. A certain sister she she she passed all her exams. She was very good, very, very smart girl. You see her exams Results 89868986 I'm a sharp girl. They brought her name once that she must be appointed as a pastor because she has passed all her exams. I said great, you've passed all your exams. It's sweet, it's fantastic, but you should discover that exams is not the only reason why we appoint people as pastors. Since when did you become a pastor because you've passed exams. So I asked the people who brought their name one question. I said you see this girl that has passed all exams that you are bringing, Have you seen? Can you imagine? I said just imagine her at APFI as I just picture her this girl at a PFI because you know what? She aspired with all the pastors in her church, all the passages, she has lambasted them and blasted them and doesn't talk to them by her marks 89868986. So I said OK if she can be at PFI, bring her name. I'm still waiting for her name. Two years I've gone by, He told everybody, because if you're a lawyer, it demands the right attitude. You must have the right flow. You must have the right attitude. It's not just passing off exams. It's not just doing your own thing, developing an independent spirit and want to do what you can do and what you must have the right. You must have a good flow. Relate well, speak well, speak well of one another flow. Understand. When you're told to do something, you do it. When you are called, you come. You don't become like these guys. Datan and Abiram say that. Go and tell that we will not come. You don't develop such attitudes because you feel great and you've also had visions and dreams. Visions and dreams. So what? Be loyal. It is required that you be found loyal. It the requirement is a faithful person and faithfulness demands the right attitude, that you have the right attitude, the right behavior. You have respect for those ahead of you, you have respect for those with you, and you have respect for those behind You have the right attitude and the right flow, the right behavior that you can give me instructions and you carry out the instructions, not that you are above instructions. No one can talk to you again. No one can speak to you. And then when you have a certificate, 89 percent, 86 percent, 75%, and you've fouled with everybody, what are you coming to do? Are you not coming to tell us that you are the founder soon? Anybody who has no respect for order and for people who have been set there and who are in place is not a loyal person. No matter how good you are, your loyalty is not real loyalty unless you have respect and regard, regard for people. I mean, Jesus Christ, when he came, he went to John the Baptist to baptize him, but was trying to say no, you know, I can't do some things. I can say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It has to be done. So everything will be in order. King James said that will fulfill all righteousness. But otherwise, so that I can be accepted, I can be acceptable, so I don't have nothing against me. So as though I'm worker of miracles, I'm this. When you see me heavy opens and you hear this, my beloved son. But besides all of these heavenly visions and heavenly manifestations, I also have the right attitude towards those who were there before I came. It is an important thing to have that the people around me and the people with me, I have regard and respect for them. I have the right attitude, I relate with them well. I give respect to whom respect is due and Anna to whom Anna is due. Now that you see a minister that you are stripping the person off his Anna. Do not take Anna from someone who deserves Anna. Let it never be your your, your duty to to strip someone off Anna, someone who is supposed to be Anna. They say don't Anna the person. We don't really want to respect the person. We can talk to the person anyhow. After all, what are we not free human beings? We are free human beings. We are free. But Anna is to go to who? Anna is you, and respect is to go to who respects you. So the right attitude is of absolute importance. The right behavior, the right behavior. Right behavior is very, very important. A lot of Christians like misbehaving. We easily misbehave, put up a wrong behavior and feel that after. I'm my own man. Nobody does this for me. Nobody does it. Nobody would do it. But you must respect those who you have to respect. You don't really respect people who do things for you. You respect people that God has put in place that this is the person. You must respect that because God says this person is this. Amen. Are you with me? Do you still have a right attitude? Yeah, we must have the right attitude. We must behave proper, must be of good behavior. Proper behavior when we come to camps, must have the right attitude. Who will say come back at this time? Come back at that time. Always say when you go sleep, when you go, go and sleep. When you say do this, you do. When you say stand, you stand, jump, you jump. He was like, why should I? Why should I do this? Why should I go and sleep? Why should I go and do this and don't feel like this? No, have the right attitude. A loyal person always has the right behavior. He behaves well, behaves well. When you see a pastor, show respect to a pastor. When you see a lay minister, show respect to a lay minister. Don't say who are you, why you, but the grace of God is somebody or you don't understand. I think you do all right. Next law is the right attitude coming home. Next attitude is that the next law is that loyalty does not join or create factions. It doesn't join. Or create factions. Are you a creator of factions? Are you creating independent parties in the church? Loyalty does not create, and also it doesn't join. That's when someone creates it. You don't join because sometimes you're not the creator. You're not the founder of the faction. But you want to be a member of the faction. Yeah, both are wrong. Whether you are the founder, the creator or a member, either way it's not acceptable because a loyal person doesn't create, doesn't create, doesn't create his own ministry within the church, doesn't create his own lake, doesn't find something common to people common. You know, sometimes we have in common, they say because we all have this in common. So we are this. No, no, a certain pastor who was trying to orangulize, you know, Orangulize because he was of a particular nationality, a certain section of his church were also from that country. So he used that to create a faction and to remove them with him from the church. So in let's say for instance, if the church is made of South Africans, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Togolese, and he's a South African. So he preached and talked to the South Africans that we are the South Africans. So we the South Africans, we must move to one side and do our own thing and start our and start our own church down the road. But I see he was able to move them away because he has not taught them the right things. Any good pastor will teach you one of the sides of a good pastor. He will teach you that when I rise up to do something crazy, do not follow me. That's a sign. The day you hear your pastor say that to you, stand up and clap for him and check. Because that day you have discovered a great man of God in your church. A great man of God to tell you that when I ever tell you that I'm changing the name of this church from lighthouse to house light, or to traffic light, or to touch Light or to. And he can tell you that not even not everyone of you should follow me. Regardless of my creed, my tribe, my nationality, my word, do not follow me. Stay in this house, stay in this area because a loyal person does not seek to create divisions and create groups a lot. If you say you are called, step out there and go and call and go and do the ministry, as I think sister, she said. She said God has called it. So she can't fit into any ministry in the church. She can't be in follow up, she can't be in choir, she can't be women with direction, she can't be in prayer ministry. She can be in protest. I mean, her calling is so unique that you know, so she wanted out. So it's OK if you want out. There's no restriction. Everybody wants out. You can out yourself. The next thing I heard, whilst her pastor has organized an outreach for the hotel on a Saturday afternoon, she has organized the instrumentalist to come and play for her at a special ministry. So I called. I said hey sister, come, come, come, come, come. Let me explain something to you. You say you are called, you say anything we do here. I said, look, you despise us, you have no regard for us and if you think you are called, fine, go and be called. Do not touch someone's ministry. I said. I said to her. I said to her, look, you want to see your calling. I said personally, I'll make adverts for you on the television. I said I'll pay. I said I will pay for her personally, I'll make adverts, I'll make her name. If her name is give me her name. No, a normal name. OK. Margaret. Margaret, Margaret, I said personally, I'll make adverse, I'll make Flyers, banners for her. Margaret Evangelical, Evangelical Ministries, I said where? I will rent A hall for her and put her in the hall and give the time and we will see who will come. Then we will see your calling. I'll make the adverts for you. Oh that whilst you are, you are starting off in the things you say you don't like now, so you are taking people's church members. I say you are not an island, that's why you are not aware of that. You belong to something, you are part of something. We are one family and you think you want to break off the family, break off alone, go alone for us to really see, really see that you are called. But stop creating factions and divisions. Stop using this low level reasoning of tribe and nationality. And I mean low level, low level arguments. To prove that you are. 'Cause if you are called, that's how the adverts out. I'll pay for it. I will rent the hall. How many hours do you want? Six hours. I'll rent the hall for six hours. For praise and worship, for ministration, for testimonies, for altar call. I'll I'll pay for all for you. But. Leave my church members alone and stand there. Stand there, Margaret. Evangelical or evangelistic ministry? MEMM. Yeah. And that's Saturday afternoon. Let's see how many people walk through. I said I will announce. I said, well, if you dare me, I will announce in your church that nobody should ever have anything to do with you. I said if you dare me, I will come to the church and announce right now. And afterwards I'll. Pay for you to have your your program and let's see who will be there. Then you will see what you have that you don't have respect for. Then you will see what you have that you don't have regard for. Then you will see what is what you have after someone's labor and someone's stall and someone's ministry and someone's calling that. What you? What you. Are pulling is actually someone's labor and not a new who are you? You don't create factions. OK, if you are going go alone. You understand if you are going go alone, I. Said this sister came to. See me, she said. She came. She came with a wow story, no marital problems. So I was sitting, I was trying to counsel, talking, you know, trying to resolve the issue. Then she said to me, say, Reverend, you don't understand. I said, oh, I understand this, and this is it. She said, no, you don't understand. I said, I understand. I'm trying to give you what you should do. This quarrel, it doesn't matter. Forget that you don't understand. I said, what is the problem? She said, what? I want you to tell him. You see, the husband said to her that morning that he's going to kill her and then kill himself. So she said, what I want you to tell him is that if he wants to die, he should die alone. I'm not ready to die, he said. That's all. So he said, he said, Reverend, you don't understand. I'm not here for counseling. I'm not here to resolve any issue. I want him to get the message that in case death has entered into him, I am not ready to die now. So if he's going to die, he should die alone. He should go alone. If you are ready to leave the church, go with it alone. Don't pull us along. He must not allow anybody to pull you along in their moment, in their moment of insanity, that their brief window of madness. This must not carry you along. She didn't follow. Anybody. Because his madness has come, you know, understand, madness has come. Yeah. When he's going, say hey pastor. Bubba. Bye, bye, bye. Bye, bye. Bye. I mean, we wish you would not have come to this, but we are sorry we can't go with you. If you are going. Remember this, sister, if you are going, go alone, alone go, go alone, die alone, die alone. That they had a revelation. You don't understand. I realize that sometimes we don't understand when people are talking. So you don't understand? She said About three times. I said I understand, I'm solving, I'm solving your marital problem for you is that you don't understand. He wants to die. I don't want to die. Tell is, he said tell him, tell him he will understand your language better. Tell him I do not want to die. If he wants to die, he must die alone. He must go alone. Go alone. Be gone. Go alone. Go alone First Corinthians chapter 1 Go alone. No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter what language you speak, no matter what tribe you you come from, no matter what area you come from. If you are ready to die. Die alone. Tell a person I have work to finish. I want to finish what I have started. Though if you are. If you are now going to start something that I have started already, I'm not interested in restarting. I want to finish. What I have started, so go alone, let me finish my calling. If you have finished, I have not finished, go. Alone. Are you going to let them go alone? They must go alone. I'm preaching real. Good First Corinthians chapter 1, verse 11 For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the House of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Wow. So you see that contentions happen. Then people bring. Issues and when you see someone trying to start up a faction. A group. An independent group, not a prayer ministry, not a follow up ministry, but just starting something. Because it says things that are based on ill feelings, ill feelings, ill feelings. When you see that film, you must report it, See. Because when you don't report it, it's like you've joined it. Anything you don't report it means you approve of it. When you see something wrong and you don't say it it it is not saying it is as good as saying it is good. Yeah. Certain, certain people feel that. You know, when I'm silent, I'm quiet. Oh, I didn't do anything. No, they said that. No. What? You don't say anything because Jesus said Jesus said. Are you listening to what Jesus said? He said anyone who does not come through the door but comes through the window. You see Jesus. He didn't say that It doesn't matter whichever way you used to come in. Once you are in, it's OK. No, no. If you are coming in, there's a door. If you don't use the door, there's a name for you. The name for you is Thief, a robber. You are a thief or. You are a robber because the only thing that is recognized in this in the Christianity is the door. Use the door, use the right way. Don't dump through a window. So it means even if you if you are going home this evening and you see even your president or you see, you see somebody, you see someone coming into your house through the window and then when you enter the house, you see that it's your president. Will you say, oh, Mr. President? You said President I. Didn't know you were a thief. I didn't know you break. Into people's homes. Excuse me to. Say you were a thief. Excuse me to say you are a robber. Excuse me to say this is not your house. Excuse me to say you are not welcome here no matter who the person is. So no matter who the person is, you see the person is not doing things the right way. You must tell the person that look. It is the wrong thing. What you are doing is wrong. You're behaving like a thief. You're behaving like a robot. How you are behaving, it's not how people behave. It's not how a normal person behaves. It's not how a lawyer. That's not, that's not how a loyal person behaves. So you must not behave this way. They said there's a door, a door right there. We all use the door to come into this. Are they come into this room through that window? Imagine we go on break. And when we are coming back, you all said, then there you see me coming through the window there. I'm sure some of you will be saying that anointing is wild, though. But what you are really saying is that this is what madness has come. Yeah. So no matter who you are, you must do the right things. You must enter the right way. You must do things the right way. You can't just create factions, and you must not join factions in the church. Next law. It's a very, very good. Message OK next one The root of disloyalty is pride. The root of. Disloyalty is pride. The fundamental. Cause of disloyalty is pride. Anyone that you? See trying to become unfaithful becoming the story is because the person has pride in him, there's an element of pride in him. It's not because the. Person is hurt or the person is offended. In fact, people who are usually offended are proud people. Yeah. I'm telling you. Watch anybody who is very sensitive, very touchy, anything you say, I'm hurt, I'm offended, I'm this. Do you know why I say that person is proud? Because that person has a lot of laws around his life. So the slightest. Any, any move you make, you've broken the law. I'm offended offense. Offense is a is a breaking of a law or a rule. That's why it's called an offense. You've committed an offense. You have violated a rule or a law. So as I am offended, you have broken or violated one of my rules, one of my rules, one of my laws in life. That's why I'm crying. This type of are always crying every morning. By the morning they are happy, by the evening their eyes are red. When you ask what is wrong? Nothing. Are you OK? Is everything well are you fine? I said I'm OK and the person is crap. Touch it, touch it. Hyper sensitive people. In it in. Nothing. It's a huge amount of pride. Then why do they talk to me that way? Why do they handle me that way? They should be gentle with me. They should be kind. You see you how you assign yourself with laws and rules that every time, every time one of your laws have been broken. Every time 1. Of your laws have been broken every time a rule has been broken, and when you are you see, when you are offended you are prone to becoming disloyal. When you are offended. You are most likely. You are most likely to abandon the camp and abandoned the group because you are hurt, so that you see people will go for camp and you see them arguing. What is their argument? I can't share room with people. I can't share with this person. I don't like this person. I like this person. I don't like this one. I want this one. And you are not in the hotel, neither are you in the house. I don't like this I. Don't like this food? I like this food. I don't eat this thing. I eat this. Recently someone. Provoked me, I said to her, you know, next time we are going for a camp, find wheels, you know wheels, put it under your house and move it to the campsite. Because the things you are asking, we can't provide for it. We don't have it here. We can't and we will never be able to provide. We can't match your demands. So get a. Mobile house wherever we are going for a camp. So if he gets a. Trailer There's some things in his house he will not get there, so it's the actual house that has to move. Because no matter. What we do, the person won't be happy. Yeah, because there are too. There are too, too many rules sometimes. Sometimes the laws are too many. Sometimes you are too sensitive. Ask your neighbor are you sensitive? Ask your neighbor, are you? Often offended. Every morning you're crying. Every morning you're. Not happy about something? We can't say we. Can't even joke around you either either either either. An hour later. We've been forgotten about the joke. When we look at your eyes are red. You're sniffing, picking tears from your eyes. You know. They have a way of picking. It so it doesn't spoil the makeup. So it's about. To drop just because in the long fingernails they collected. It's OK. It's OK, It's OK. It's OK. It's OK because your head we've broken another law. We don't know which law. We've broken. We don't know which rule we have broken. We don't know which principle we violated. But it's too much. It's too much. The feel good factor is too strong. It's too great. You feel too good, you feel too good, you feel too accomplished. You, you feel too much like you are perfect and you have arrived and everything is perfect around you. That no one should. It must not be affected. You know it must not, it must not be affected, must not be disturbed, should feel too good. A disloyal person is someone who is feeling too good. You're feeling too good. I don't belong here. You. Know the way they do their. Things is to this loyalty thing is too much. It is not too much. I just begun. Yeah, it is not too much. When it becomes too much, see, when it becomes when a good message becomes too much for you, it's a sign. It's a sign. It's a sign that something is disturbing you. That the message, the message wakes up. It wakes up some demons. Any message that? Is being preached at you. In me is it. When you start feeling that way in church when preaching is going start feeling. Remember. Mark 1/21 how Jesus was preaching in the synagogue and an unclean spirit. Unclean. Spirit. Not an unclean man, an unclean spirit. A man with an unclean spirit began to shout. See. Because when you have the unclean spirit, no one can see. You have an unclean spirit. You look sweet, you look great, you look cool, but the unclean spirit is there. So when the word is cleansing and cleaning you up in the message that is preached when you feel anger. You better start. Delivering yourself Set yourself out now 123 now so out you should lay hands on yourself and cast it out immediately. Let it out, out, out, out. Let it out immediately. Let me in the past. I wonder what is happening. See, I'm I'm ministering deliverance to myself. I feel. Certain things moving in my belly so I am ministering deliverance to myself. So I say no, no, not this one, that one out. I said out 123 now 4 out, out, loose. You're going loose, loose, loose, loose, loose. When you start shaking. Your chair this time you don't say ashes watch my hand. You say ashes watch my head watch my head watch my head wash my head. Proverbs State Invest 10. Only. By pride cometh contention. Only by pride. In other words, there's no other explanation. There's no other. Explanation. There's no other 'cause there's no other reason for contention. You know, contention, misunderstandings, divisions, fightings, parallels. There's no other. Explanation. Andy when? You see someone, two people quarreling. There's no explanation. Either they are both proud or one of them is proud. At least one. At least one means. Greater than or equal to 1. Yeah, it means one or. More. At least one. Of them is proud. Because that's what the Bible. Says, do you believe in the Bible? Are you people who believe in the Bible? Are you Bible believers? So. When you. See contention. Bible says that only by pride. There's no other. You know, there are things like we have other causes. These are caused by this, caused by this, caused by this, caused by this, you know, see that, this, this, this, this, you know, we have to find out what it is. They can be this. But As for contention, when you see it, only one, only one, only one, only one is pride. It is pride as contention. As soon as you see contention, as soon as you see a disloyal person, an unhappy person, someone manifest, as soon as as soon as you see it, hey, there's some pride somewhere, There's some pride somewhere. Someone, someone, someone is proud because there's no other explanation #16 let's see some proud guys, am I? I hear you. Are you in Numbers chapter? One Number Chapter 16 So on now Korra, the son of Izar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levy and Dathan, and Abraham. The Sons of. Ilia and On the son of Peleph, sons of Ruben. Took men. See, they always take some people. That's why I'm saying don't allow yourself to be taken. Don't. Allow. Yours is it. When you hear the message on loyalty, one of the things that's happened is that your eyes are being trained to see a disloyal person, to be able to to be able to diagnose correctly a disloyal person, someone who is disowned, to be able to see, your eyes have to be trained to see it. You must be able to see it because then as you feel, this is how we feel. It's as though it's like an an emotional thing. So we use emotions to follow things. But loyalty is not based on emotions. It's based on principles. It's based on principles, not emotions. We follow principles. We follow rules. A certain man said. Once that we carry out orders or people die. Yeah. He was a soldier. He was saying, it's like here we carry out orders or we follow orders or people die. What is at stake? It's people's lives. You come around the civilian and you think that, oh, why don't we do this? Why didn't you do? Why didn't you consider this? Why didn't you consider this before you shot? Why didn't you? They said, no, here we follow all this or people die, not because one person, your your son has died. You think the whole world is like, yeah, we follow all this because if your son had not died, a lot more people would have died. So we follow others or people die. That's what the Bible say. Cast out the scorn and strife will cease. Sometimes some people have to be cast out. To preserve the. Church, some people have to be assisted to live, as it's called, assisted departure. We assist. You to go. We help you to. Go assisted departure program. Yeah, yeah, you have to. You have to be helped because you want to go. And if you stay around, you will affect a lot more people, a little living, living at the whole lamp. Follow others. I said these. Guys that we are reading about, terrible guys, terrible guys. And they took men. May you not be taken I. Said May you not be. Taken, I said. May you not be taken, I said. May you not be taken by wicked and unreasonable man. I just read about your type in the Bible that I've just I'm just from a camp. You were previous as though you were the example that was given. I've seen your I've seen your type that my eyes can see your type. I know what you are like. I know who you are. I know why you are talking this way. I know why you are saying because we are all Ghanaians, because we are all South Africans, because we are all Nigerians, because we are all from here. And I've heard this language before. It's a wicked language. It's an evil language. It's. Devilish. It's demonic. You understand the message? Yeah, so. They took men. And they rose up before Moses, you see. This rising. Up. Rose up. We are now manifesting, he said. They are coming to him. Let's go and see him and sort out some things. I mean, we've got to have some things clear. Some things are not clear. We have to put something straight. Let's go and put him straight because. This is. Behavior. That's what is called. Rising up, It's not as though they were asleep and they woke up. The rules up is that they are under. They are going to misbehave. Their selves. Are coming. They understand self is coming. Someone sent me a. Text and I replied and I said, why is yourself coming? The person replied and. Said no, myself has died. You know, sometimes when you read. Some texts you can't tell, you can't tell the the mood, you can't tell the mood. So it's it's it's left to to guess in what mood was this text? So I said in this text, I don't understand it. So I just replaced that. It's yourself coming replace that myself has died. So it was. It was not myself that you saw. So they rose. Up before Moses themselves came fully. With certain. Of the Children of Israel 250. Princess of the Assembly, famous in the congregation. Men of. Renown people like serious people. And they gather. Themselves together against motives, and against Iran, and said unto them, You take too much upon you. As I say, you think. You're pastors, So what? You take to what you do. Too much, you think? Yeah. I mean, you think you're so important. You think you're so great, so you take too much upon yourselves. See. All the congregation are holy, every one of us like some messages are not necessary. You can see we are all. Loyal. Why are you preaching to us about loyalty? You take too much. Upon yourself, look at how you are sweating and shouting. But we are all loyal. The whole congregation is loyal. There's no disloyalty here. We need, we need 7 points of advancing the Kingdom and taking the nations and establishing and gaining roots in our nations and our cities. And you are saying loyalty? We are all loyal. You are talking too much. About this loyalty, we don't need it. It's not necessary. That is why it becomes. Necessary. Yeah. You feel that way? You know what to do. 1. 2-3 now 4 out loose loose loose when you start moving the Ted and say ashes watch it watch watch my head watch my head watch my head watch my. Head you take too much upon. You seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. I means what more do we need? Everybody is holy and the Lord is here with us. Can you, can you see pride? Can you see pride? Can you see pride speaking? It's like I'm OK, I'm perfect. I don't need you. I don't want you. I'm OK. Don't talk to me. Don't correct me because I've thought about, we've thought about what we are doing. Don't come and disturb us. We are holy, I mean. We are OK, it's well calculated and well arranged. We. Are OK, we have no problems here. Wherefore then lift thee up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord, lifting yourself and promoting yourselves, exalting yourself that you are you are pastors. The past says you. Are you are reverence? Reverend, my brother. And Moses and Moses said unto Cora, Here I pray you, ye sons of Levi, seemeth it by the small thing unto you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation, to minister unto them. And he has brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren, the sons of Levi with thee, and seek ye the priesthood also. See what has been done to you. It's a privilege to you, you and nobody. Eyes open. All eyes open. Loyalty demands the. Right attitude. So it demands. Eyes to be open. Look, he said. You, you ain't nobody. You ain't nobody. Illegal immigrants. Your name? You. Have is not your name. You have married. Somebody your mother's age to become legal in the system. The only language. You can speak is your mother's tongue. You can't speak. French can't speak Spanish can't speak German, you can't speak English. You only speak. Only the word. Sulu. Seemeth it's a. Small thing that the Lord have separated you from where you are and brought you close to call you shepherd. To call. You play minister to call you pastor, I said. Now you want the prison, Now you want to be the Bishop. Now you want to be the farmer. You want to be a founder? So you are. Misbehaving. Look at how you are talking. We were if you analyze yourself, where you are, where you are coming from, what you wear. All. Systems in the world had no regard for you. You can't fit. Into any system and excel. But here the grace of God has come on yourself, on your life, put you in a system that has put you on the cream of the system, added you, added you to the, added you to the high ranks of the of the of the of the text. Is it a small thing? Is that is it now? Now that you've been at a rather when you got there, you want the priest to also. You want, You want the. Office of the Bishop also you want the office of the founder also you also want to be you be something. Is that what you have is not enough? I must become. I can still I can still see my eyes on something that I don't have. Be careful in this. Life when your focus is on what you don't have. Yeah, when your eyes are. Always on something that you don't have. Be careful. It's a trap of Satan. That is what caused Adam and Eve and we all here today. They had everything. When Satan came, he turned their heads on what they don't have. He just said the only thing you don't have. Look at it. That was what caused the separation between them and God, because they had everything. They had everything. The only thing Satan used on them. It's what they don't have said. You guys, you have everything. Can you not see what you don't have? What you don't have can cause your downfall. The thing you don't, When you see something that you don't have, walk away from that thing. What? The pursuit of what I don't have, be it money, be it what, what, what? Whatever you don't have. When you decide to perceive what you don't have, be very careful. Be very careful about having an excessive passion and drive in pursuit, a relentless pursuit in what you don't have. It's likely that Satan is standing by you. And so you see, but I said godliness with contentment is great. Gain is great gain is great gain that I have got, that I have got. Look, there's nothing greater than your salvation. There's nothing greater than your salvation. There's nothing greater than your salvation. Nothing can be greater than your salvation. Nothing can be greater than what God has already. Before you heard about, before you had call, before you had anointing, Before you had been filled with the Spirit, before you had this speaking in tongues, before you had shepherd, before you had Le minister, before you had pastor, before you had reverend, before you had SAP pop pop. You had. Something. That should be able. To put you on your knees, to say thank you every day for the rest of your life. That is your salvation. You have no reason to be discontented. You have no reason to be unsatisfied. You have no reason to to be unhappy. There is no reason for any Christian to say I am not happy, I lack something. It's a trap of Satan to show you something that you don't have to say to you see? See. Can you not see that? You don't have this. And then to actually. Can you not see that somebody has it and you don't have it? That's why, he added. If you have it, you become like God because God has it and you don't have it. So go for it. Go for it. Be careful about things you don't have. Be careful. Be careful about things you don't have. Be very, very careful about that one thing that is missing in your life. Eyes. Open. Are you? Tired. Are you sleepy? Are you unhappy? Are you developing the right attitude? OK. Loyalty demands the right attitude. So it demands all eyes to be open. Yeah. And any kind of eye? No. So that's what Moses asking them. You have all these things. Why are you thinking about what you don't have? That is not for you. It's not for you anyway. Why are you thinking about it? Why do you want to have it? Why do you want to have? Why do you want to have it? What about the things you have? Don't you have salvation? Is there anything greater than salvation? Is being called a pastor. Greater than salvation? Is having a lot of. Money greater than salvation. How can it be greater than salvation? So why do you have something in this life that you are unhappy about? How can you be unhappy about something? How can you find something that can draw you down and make you so sad in this life? Can you have salvation or you don't understand my message? I think you. Do it worked for which course both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord. And what is Aaron that you murmured against him? So you can you can see people here who have gathered in their people who have something, but they feel what they have is not enough is. Is that what I? Have been given is not good enough. I could have been given more. They can do better. I mean, they should have done better. I don't deserve just to be brought close. I deserve the priesthood. I deserve the. Priesthood. I must be the pastor of the church. I must. Gain control over the offerings. War on to that congregation who's the pastors dream is to gain control over offering. That is why he has started the church. I pray for that congregation, that the pastors heart is not for their salvation, is not for their growth in the things of God, is not for their development Christian, but that he may have control over offerings. Hence he breaks off to be a founder and a senior pastor, senior pastor, founder, resident to become the Reverend Jew. I pray for that congregation. I I really. I sincerely feel for that congregation, for that 12 or 30 that will follow that guy. Because he wants. Control over money. I feel for them. I. Feel for. Them, I really feel for them. I really, I really feel for them. That your pastor is standing. There, he wants There's something he thinks he hasn't got. After all, that has. Been done for him, illegal immigrant. Your wife is not your wife. Do you understand your? Wife is not your wife. The government. Knows one person as your wife and your real wife is in him. In Koko, do you know In Koko? This. Is a place. And now your eyes are on offerings. Because of that, you become president, founder, senior pastor, presiding resident pastor. And you have to your name. Your mother tongue symptoms of pride. So that you. Will know it when it's coming. Are you learning something? Symptoms of pride. Since pride. Causes disloyalty that you have to know when you're becoming proud, isn't it don't you want to know when you're becoming proud let's. Go. Because sometimes some things can happen to you. And you don't know. What is happening to you? Yeah, you. Don't know what is happening to you and so you are calm because you don't know what it is. Because if you knew. What it is? Hey. Hey, hey, hey, a certain brother. He developed this something, something something little on his face. Something little on his. Face, he didn't know what it was. You want to see the GP. The what do? You call GPAGPGPI mean you know GP You want to see GPAGP and the GP just looked at it and dial the number that he called the hospital and sending somebody to you right now, right now, right now from here, there. See, but this he doesn't he doesn't understand he doesn't know what it is. He doesn't I mean he doesn't he doesn't know what it is. He just feels that he's just something he's just something so he went to the hospital. You want to see the consultant, the. Consultant was looking at. Him like that. He said he could. See anxiety disturbance in the eyes of the consultant. And the consultant? Said, look, the consultant took a sample of the thing and said to the nurses, I want the results right now. Give me the results now. He could see in the eyes of this guy that this guy is distinct because you know why he is there? Because he knows what it is. He understands what it, what no, what it could be. He knows what that this thing, this thing could be. That's like within the next few moments. By the time the results come back, we will be discussing. The end of. The life of this young man. But this young man? Was he was cool? Walking around as though. Every life is normal, but he didn't know he's just a step away from death. Likely when the results. Came, it was clear yesterday. Consultant asked him how long did you say you've had this thing for? He said, oh, he showed him that, the number of months. And I said, oh, anyway, if it was what I was thinking, you'd be dead by now. Yeah, he said. He said. He said you'll be dead already. He said if it is what I thought it was, you will be dead by now. That was probably the first. Time he heard that he was fellowshipping with death. I say he didn't know. He didn't know if he if he knew what he had known what it was, he would have reacted long time ago. But see, but he has walked around with it, moved around with it because he didn't know. So it is and us when? Pride is lingering because you don't know what it is, because you don't know what it is. You just fly around with it. Even even even if you're a leader, a shepherd, a pastor, whatever, as soon as you can, you can court. You can court with pride in the congregation and not even know how dangerous it is, how it can disturb your ministry. I can disturb your text. That is why you see someone preaching a message and you say that why is he so passionate and aggressive on the issue? Rely. He should just relax and teach. It's such a relaxing thing. You have seen that consultant who understood what it was. I was screaming at Nessus that I wanted. I wanted now. I want now. I need. It now. You want to. Have I relax. We'll go for results next week. Oh, we can come for it. I mean, three weeks later. I mean, after all, after all, I want to travel. I want to go here. I want to do this. But you can say you don't. Have that time, some messages when you are preaching, when you're addressing it, you don't have the time to play around with it and to come around coolly and be giving points and just be giving points and just be reading points. And just because it's an issue of life and death, it's an issue of life and death. This ministry is, is our, it's our life job. We have chosen this job. This is our life for us. It's not a joke. For us, it's not a. Joke I was speaking when I was talking to someone said oh we are changing. I said if you are changing, you see that things that things it, it it's that something If you are changing, change now, because for me it's not a joke. For you it's a joke. So you can afford to change next week or change in two months time or change in three weeks time. But for me if you are changing change now change. Now. Because this is my life, that's my job, that's what I do. And you can't. It's not a game for you probably. It's a hobby. It's a part time thing. So you can afford to. Be sitting there in a relaxation. All right? We are changing. You are changing. Change now. There's no time to be. Changing changes now. You have to change now if you're going to change now. But sit down. Right, we are changing. It's a good message. We are search engine, search engine change. Now don't tell me we are changing. Don't tell me we will change. Don't tell me we are learning because this is my life. It's it's my life and you are coming. If you are coming, come properly. Don't come and play gimmicks and play games and play around. Don't come and play around me, OK? It's also, it's not my hobby. It's not my hobby. It's not something that I'm not something I'm doing to pass out with time. So, so that you know, it's. Like I've done some new IT, this is it. This is a big this is this is it for me, this is it. So if you're going to change. When are you going to change? By the time we. Finish. You have changed by the time we finish this. I say you have to. I mean you have to. I mean change has occurred to you. You, as happened to you, have changed. But I'm going to change. There's no time to be changing. Yeah, change you have to. Change now. You have to change. Yeah. You're going to change. Now. It's not. At least you see me. Screaming and shouting and sweating. Give me some credit that he's not mad. He's not an overzealous guy. It's not like he's some overzealous, over passionate person over, you know, over overreactionary. Give me some credit. Give me some credit for that, to see the seriousness and the magnitude of the issue. Otherwise that guy. Should have told the concerned that calm down, you're overreacting. What if if I'm not told you you didn't have known so? Relax. Just relax. I mean if. I even if I don't come to you, you didn't have known. So relax. Why? Why you? It's to my. Real life, it's my life. I thought, it's my life, it's my life. But he does not want to preside over the death of someone. If he can help save someone's that, that is his job to save their life. He must save their life and he must act. He must act now. The response is now. The response to such messages is now, no later. No, when we get back. To it's now as I read to you the symptoms of pride as you see clear the symptoms out of your life now now. To read .1. You see yourself in .1, say from today I've changed. Changed. Changed instantly because it's not a little, a little something tomorrow, one day, sometime. No, none of those things. It's now, it's right now. It has to happen right now. Right now. It's going to happen. So the first symptom is answering back. The first. Symptom of pride is that you answer back. When we talk, you talk. Back. When we talk, you explain. Yourself. When you say. Something you say something back. When you say what we want, you tell us what we should want. I said this is how we. Want it? You tell us how we should want it. There's a no, no we. Don't understand how how does this this how it should be this, this, this how it should be, this how it should be. You know it's supposed to be like this. No, you answer back. You always, you always want to defend yourself. And it's actually an act of defending. You're trying to defend yourself, trying to cover your tracks, trying to cover yourself. Then wave back way back. Wave, let me see that you can see me. Wave. How many fingers are these? How many? She's awake. Come for her, Yeah. And stream back. You answer back, then we talk. We have something to see. You see something, you see it back, is it? And usually it happens to people who. Don't think deeply. And who don't analyze deeply because usually when someone is being corrected, when your leader or your pastor is correcting you look out for the principle he's addressing. There's always a principle. Not as he asks for issues that this person said this, this person said this. It's very petty. Any, any serious leader does not waste his time on petty issues. Who said what and who did what and how was this? No, no, no, no. He's addressing a principle that the way you handle this thing is wrong. It's not who did what. Or who didn't do what. But if you're sharp, you will see it very clearly and say hands up, hands up. I was wrong. It's not. I didn't say it. He didn't say it, but she said it then, not me. Then who #2? It's not #2, it's #3 it's not #3. If it's not #3 then who it's for, it's not for. No serious person. Who wastes time on such things? Sit with people who, I mean, who sit with people and they'll be talking and be arguing. No, there's always. Can you hear me? There's always a principle that the person is addressing, that you can see that in such situations you don't behave this way, or you don't talk this way, or you don't do things this way. That is what it's being addressed and it's not. Who said what? And who didn't say what? And I'm not this. And I'm like this. And it's supposed to be this. And I think you didn't. And I think you don't understand. It's not about understanding. It's not about whether you. Understand me or understand you, It's too. It's too trivial. Those things are too. They're too petty. I mean, like that Lady said to me that I do understand. She was right. She wanted me to carry across a principle for her that in your time of death, die alone. That's all. Just the principle I want him to get. It's not about I'm you, you see, you see, you see. Quarreling. Were you quarreling? And what did you say to her? And what did you say? So it's that time. This message continues. On the next track, keep listening.
