Welcome to track #5 of Warfare keys. You share some things to open more seals to what you've learnt so far. How many have discovered some powerful keys since you came to this camp? Only two people 34567 OK I believe some powerful keys are being given to us and our churches will not be the same again. Do you believe it and receive it? OK so warfare keys, can we start from the top? Are you tired of going through them? The more we go through them, the more we gain insight and the more seals are removed. Are you ready to share some of your revelations on the things you've learnt? I mean, oh, Are you ready to share some of. Yeah, Yeah, I know Pastor Sompai is ready. OK, so let's go through a few keys. Then you share some of your revelations and your understandings and your experiences with us. All right. OK, so the first one attack the source of strength of your enemies and then also know that the source of your strength is under. By who? By your friends, by the enemy. So if you decide that you won't attack, you should know that when the enemy is coming for you and he is coming for you, he's aimed at the source of your strength. He's coming directly for the thing that will cripple you, the thing that will paralyze you, the thing that after he has attacked, you cannot preach again. You know, if you want to preach again, everyone you are preaching, there will be no power, there will be no authority. Amen. So you have to know that if you don't want to attack when he's coming to attack, he's coming for the very thing you think you are saving him off. Amen. What's the second key or the second point? Attack the what? And then know that. So you should know that the alliances, friends and friendships of yours are under attack. If if you listen to the Archbishop praying one of the prayers, listen both last year ISI and they say you see that one of the prayers he makes is that and anybody Lord cover anybody who is strategically positioned in the bishops of this house life. So you can see that it's, it's like he, he understands this particular key that the people who are strategically positioned in the life of the Bishop can be attacked, can be attacked. Because as I say, alliances, friends and friendships is the target of the enemy. As soon as you become a major player, you have actually brought yourself to be a target. So relationships are very important. And do not try to remove yourself from relationships and from links and from alliances and from friendships that we have, because that is the enemy's target. Until you see the enemy coming against the relationship that we have, can you realize that we have a relationship? I mean, as we are around, we feel like amongst your brothers and amongst your sisters, you know, just fellowship and feeling free around. Anytime you see the enemy is trying to remove you, there's actually trying to break something. That is your strength. Some that is, that's something that you actually need to have to be able to win the battle and to advance in the battle. So he would want to attack that thing. He would want you to remove yourself from this relationship, from this alliance, and from this friendship. He would want to take you out because that is his target and you are his target, Amen. So when you're also attacking, aim at similar points, Amen. And then #3. Wow, that was short but very powerful. I mean if we were blessed in the last 20 minutes of our last session assess generals and their troops by only is it Have you got only by their activities by their activities, because Jesus said you will know them by their fruits. Is it not strange that would want to know people by other things or not? What would want to assess situations by other factors and sometimes even argue when it is very clear and very evident that this is this is what is happening. We would want to sometimes give explanations and talk a lot and describe and re describe things just to prove as though the facts are not real facts. Amen. So under that we have what if edge. Oh everybody are you there? Everybody. Are you there and are you awake? Are you alive? Are you here? You haven't travelled. You are here. OK, So what's what we have there? Everybody. Shall we go? If a general has led his troops to defeat, if a general, a pastor, a missionary, a shepherd has LED his church to a rundown, that is how he must be assessed. That is how he must be assessed, that that is what he has done. And he himself probably must assess himself in that way. He must tell himself the truth, that this is what I have done, and not employ the factors and the reasons why the things have run down as an excuse. But he himself should see that. Look how I have led the thing into a state of profit. We are renewing our minds. Yeah, we did that. That's what I have done. So we have to, you have to be the 1st to tell yourself the truth, that this is what I have done, because that is how he must be. I said that is what Christ said, that you shall be known by your fruits. You are known by your fruits. Are we wiser? Is anyone who is wiser than Christ is the one who has discovered a a greater theory or principle than the words of Christ? And if Christ says that you are known by your foods, why don't you want to identify yourself with your foods so that you can take decisions to change what you are doing and to do better than to explain why your foods have the way they are? So that it will be accepted that with your circumstance and with things, this is the type of foods I can actually have. But you are what you produce. That's what Jesus said. You are what you produce. You will be known by your fruit. It's only by your fruit, not by anything. It's just by your fruits that can tell us who you are, Not the type of soil by your fruits. Amen to if the General runs the thing down, he must be assessed just by that, nothing more, nothing less. What else do we have there? Exactly? What people say about themselves does not matter. The explanations they start giving don't matter. Again, excuses don't matter. Have you not heard Christ talking about excuses? How people were invited and this one gave the excuses, One gave the excuses. He said all of these excuses. But we don't want any excuse. We don't need any explanation. You are what you have done. You are what you have produced. You are exactly what you have. So what you say after you have produced, what you say after that doesn't matter. It doesn't. Does it matter to you? Would you like? Would you want it to matter because it applies to you? You can't answer. Would you want it to apply to you that you know it's this, but because of this and this and this and this and this, that's why it's like this. What you say doesn't matter. This sufficient evidence, That's why, that's why when we go for shuffling, he said. It's very interesting when we put the charts up, we put the things you see, you see the statistics and then you see us trying to argue with the statistics as though the then manager or whatever has put figures together and put it back. It's a reflection of what we are and what we have done over the year, which you provided. It's not as though. And she sat in her office and she came up with figures that you know, when I listen to this person's name, Alexopata, I think, let me give him these figures. But you supplied, you supplied. And out of that she just presented what you have given to us. You see how we can argue with figures, we can argue with things, but what you say after what you have provided does not matter again, again from Sunday when we sit at shuffling from otherwise we go through when the figures come up, remember that what you see will not matter. It just wouldn't matter again. It just it just wouldn't matter. If there's a mean, say something better than you know, because what you see, that's not matter. I'm getting that point quite clear that what you see does not matter. It doesn't matter. It is you. I mean, it just doesn't matter. It can't, it can't add or subtract what you see because what we are using now, what we are using now are facts and figures and, and, and the whites use facts and figures a lot. But when you only are doing things, when they are taking decision, they use a lot of, a lot of statistics. Then when they draw the conclusions that this is the conclusion, this is it. No more we have you do see them using statistics. 1,000,000 Polish people have come into the country, so now put restrictions on their, on their entry into the country. It's just statistic. They don't have to go around and say 1,000,000 have come back and 5000 have died. So there's no 1,000,000 came. So we don't want another 1,000,000 to come after whatever, just the facts. And you see, nobody argues with it, nobody struggles with it. What it is, is what it is. What you say after does not matter. It doesn't matter. So let's get that, that what we say after doesn't matter. What else did we have there? What what people say they are doesn't matter. It is what you have done. I think there's a there's a vest that says that every man proclaims of his own goodness, but a faithful man who shall find everybody. I mean, we give people a chance. Everybody will say how good they are, how great they are. People who say things, nice things about them. But at the end of the day, it's your fruits that will be used to determine who you are. So even what people say does not matter. I mean it doesn't matter because people can say nice things to change what you are produced and what you are doing. Yes, exactly. You see, someone is not probably underperforming at a particular job or or something. The person has to be removed and then someone will come and say, oh, he's a good person, he's a nice person. He said whatever, he's my relative. And then we keep the person there. And then we run down the business and we run down the work. And things don't because people are telling you something like, it's like use what people are saying and not what the person is producing is that this person is so great and basically, but the person's work, it's not good enough. But then someone else is bringing another testimony and saying that was a good person, he's a nice person. But I say at that point, whether you are good, whether you are nice, whether you smile, whether you are good at cooking, whether you are good at dressing, whether you are good at whatever, does not matter. What matters is whether you've been able to produce what was assigned to you or you were not able to produce it. That's all that matters at that point in time. You can be the most friendly, the most smiling, the smiling person of the year. But what matters is that were you able to do the work or were you not able to do the work? Is it? Is it clear to us? So what people say does not matter. Then what's the next one? Look at their deeds. Deeds do not lie. I think we should try to remember this in a shuffling from Sunday. Look at the graphs. Graphs do not lie. Look at the figures. Figures do not lie. Look at the statistics. Statistics do not lie. Look at the deeds. Look at the food. What has been done? It is not lying. It can't lie. Can it? Can we believe it? Do we believe it? That deeds don't lie? What you have done can it's it's you that is what you are, and rather that's what will make you a better person. That this is what I have done. It probably will save you from a lot of delusions and deceptions of what you think of yourself or who you think you are or what you think you are. You have said this is probably, this is what I really AM. This is who I really, really, really AM and I need to make some changes. I need to make some adjustments. I need to improve. I need to become a better, more productive, more efficient person based on the deeds and the facts that I can see. I need to really rearrange some things about myself because I've been there for three years, I've been there for 9 years, I've been there for two years and this is what I have produced and my deeds can't lie. It means that I am not doing something right. I'm not doing something that I have to be doing. Amen. So can I have an Amen? And then next one, are we in war? How many people believe that we are in war? Yeah. So this hard line is it, is it a hard line? Yeah. This hard line of assessment is important in war. OK. And then next one. Wow. Most ministers don't know their faults. And probably when they know, will not even accept it. Yes, they don't know, they don't know their faults. And then probably when they know, they will not even accept it. Because it's not easy to accept faults, isn't it? Is it easy to accept a fault? It's one of the very difficult, difficult things in life to accept that. I mean, it's a fault, it's a weakness, it's a we would want to, you know, whatever. Let's know that most ministers find it difficult to know and to accept their faults. Amen. Powerful. I believe we are blessed. So it's time for you to also share your understandings of these powerful keys you wanted to speak questions, suggestions, contributions to anything that we've done so far. Thank you. Do you want to say something you don't want to say? You've changed your mind. OK, first of all. I want to go back to the key about obeying the father's instructions. Superficially, you look as though it's an easy thing to do. Your father has said it. Oh, you do it. We will do it. But I came to conclusions on time ago in my life that anything you find in the Bible that is asking you to do something, it presupposes that your natural tendency would not have been to do it. If it says husbands, husbands love your wives, it means that there can be a time when you wouldn't feel like loving your wives. Wives submit to your own husbands. There can be submission, but not to their own husband, something like that. So when he says obey the father's attractions for me, it's like naturally I may not obey. And one of the things that I was reminded about was I called Bishop from Venezuela one time and he says I should practice preaching at least 30 minutes every day. Practice preaching in Spanish for 30 minutes every day. And Asia, I thought it was very easy. So I mean like, you know, if you do and then when I started, I'll be preaching. I was done preaching to a crowd and then I've forgotten that the conjugation of a verb. Then I stopped and I go and look for the dictionary and I'll be looking at it. It looked it was so Mulligan was one time my daughter came and she loved me to scorn. And I realized that that thing is not easy. So now I used to hide. I do at times when we're not around, you know, and sometimes I honestly as a day, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it for a while. But I just go to show that when the Father says to do something, it is not as easy as it seems, and therefore you need to rise up more and you'll force yourself to be able to do it. That is the comment by the grace of God. Yeah. So say something funny. Come on. John 316. No John 316 porque de Tal manera dios. No Amo Amo dios al Mundo Baraque. Yes, I'm away. See. Porque de Tal manera Amo dios al Mundo Cam Camando asuiha unhenito Esu Cristo. I just want to remember the conjugated. I don't know it by route. Yeah. Equal persona. Craig Engel, then no, no, no SE Piera Mustanga Vida. See see correct Seguru. OK. Pastor legs, come out of hiding. OK, come into the light. That's Fellowship in the Light. Hallelujah. Yesterday I I observed something and that is what I want to say. When Pastor Perry came here and he was talking about his his church and income and the fact that he had built some block work and all that for me, it sounded very impressive. Then I remembered how when we were in Tema. Oh, under Themmer. I used to be under Themmer before and our reverend some took us through various things and. You know, but. But what, what he taught me was that just by following that which the seniors had said, not even what the father said, but what the seniors had said, he, he looked, he looked nice, you know, and I believe that we have, apart from Bishop himself, we have people that have been placed over us. Because then at that same point, I just said to myself that by God's grace, if I had something, when Reverend Jake was there, we, we would go through various things, various things, so that somehow the things that people were being asked here, we would have, he would have asked already before we would have got in here. And so you will not fall short. If you were here and so I believe that wherever. We are there are people placed over us to help us so that we. Won't embarrass ourselves. So that is just a little observation I made and it's to all of us. Thank you very much. I'm James Boate. My contribution has got to deal with the breaking of seals. I remember when we went to the Ted year, first semester after we came home from vacation, we were giving a prayer topic to pray and it was get so many prayers. So everyone who came to lead the prayer quoted. Luke 22 and read the get so many prayers and then we prayed and I remember one day they. Asked one of my colleagues to come and lead a prayer and when he came, as soon as he was introduced that he was the one going to lead us to pray, all of a sudden I said, ah, but why did they choose this guy? He's some way. So I shut my heart and he said, let's open our Bibles to Luke 22 and he was going to read the same scripture. And I said, Oh, this thing I know I wouldn't open my Bible, but all of a sudden the Holy Spirit said you open your Bible. So I open my Bible and I I started following him as he was reading and. When he came to verse 43. All of a sudden I understood the Scripture as never before. My eyes was opened, a seal was broken. And that is what I want to share with us. It is it's like what I learned from that verse is that and an Angel came and strengthened him and I was thinking about it. I said by Jesus Christ, who is The Who is the Creator, who is God himself, who has come in the flesh in his deepest agony, and he wanted help. God the Father didn't come. God the Holy Spirit didn't come, but an Angel came and strengthened him. An inferior being and. I just want to say something to encourage those of us here. I believe that the keys to warfare that we've been, we've been told about by the Bishop is very important. I just want to share an experience with you. It was only at this meeting that I understood what was actually going on. What was happening was a few months ago. I've been trying to obey the way that I believe some time ago Bishop was advising us to try and go with people. When you're going on missions, don't go alone. So I've been trying to get people to come to Guinea and I spoke to a few people to help or support these missionaries. That's people that I knew and relatives. I spoke to my sisters and I spoke to a friend also in London. And all of a sudden I felt like praying for my sisters because I don't know, it was just a feeling that came to me that pray for your family, pray for your sisters and their families. And another feeling to came to pray for the people that you've asked to help or to support these missionaries. But for a thing, I thought, oh, I mean, these guys are OK. Even if my family is more close and they seem to be more important, the devil will only attack them. My ass. Bishop was sharing the the second key about attacking our allies and friends and friendships. I realized that because a few about two weeks ago, I had a text from one of the people who actually was very willing to help called to tell them that, oh, he's been made redundant. And then my sister, also from the US called. And so she, she's, she has this eye problem and she has to go to the hospital so that all the key people who were going to be supports is like, something has happened and they have to channel whatever resources they had to all those things. So I didn't understood that what was happening was actually an attack to friendships and to friends and allies that could help to move the mission forward. And I think it's very important because if you don't know the strategies of the enemy they are facing, it's very difficult. I believe that our Papa is actually showing us the enemy's strategies and what we must be serious with when we actually I am, we have a tax ahead and I believe that our tax is to move our missions forward, to build the churches and to have octopuses. And I'm sure at the point we'll need to solicits may be help from other people that we know. And I'm sure the devil, he might not attack us personally or our families, but he will attack those people who are willing to help. Thank you. Well, if I can say something, yeah, I I got very sad this afternoon when we shall open the books from which he gave us the points, because I also have the books. They are there in myself, but I've never seen them like this afternoon, you know, I remembered one day a prophet stood by me and asked me, what do you see around you? And I said, I don't see anything. And then he said, you know, and like, you don't have eyes, you are blind. And you know, it pained me because I knew I had two eyes. I was seeing clearly. But he said unyeni. And so this afternoon, again, it pained me because I looked through the books. I read the books, but not knowing unyeni. So I realized that we need to pray so that our eyes will be open to see and see clearly. When he produce from the book, it's different by saying he was trying to show us. That's because we also don't read the books in the right way. You know, some time ago I decided that I'm no longer a fast reader. I'm not AI, I'm a slow reader. I'm the slowest reader. So I just read just a portion, just a portion a day, just a small line like that and then live with it. If it's for a week or four weeks, just a small portion because you know, you meet people who are finished reading the book cover to cover. I've read this, I've done this, but they can't. I've passed the exam, you know, but nothing stays. So the key is not just to even pray, but I think it's the, the manner in which we read the books, the manner in which we read the book. And not in their rush, but just one key. Take Abraham's success, just one principle a day and then that is it, or one principle a week. The thinking and the meditating on The thing is what brings and breaks the seals on that particular principle to make us, you know, have a deeper understanding of what we are reading. All right, video. You want to say something? OK. I just, I just want to, I echo what our brother Gazy said. I think that it's a shame to all of us that the words of our father are not in our hearts. We don't even recognize them. And I think it's a very fearful thing. I think we should take these things as warnings because Bishop has been saying this thing, has been saying these things in various ways. He has told us about a dream that he had, that his children were disturbing the flow in a meeting. How many of you remember that? Yeah, that because of his children, other people could not hear what he was saying, you know, and there were many other things. And then we have the testimonies of other people, other pastors, other churches, other bishops, telling us just how valuable our Father is. And we can't see. And he keeps warning us. God keeps warning us. Our Father keeps warning us. And you know, we have a good feeling here. We feel ashamed here. But when we move out of here, then things change. We don't obey the instructions. But us Bishop was sharing this afternoon a passage that Bishop Adi read to us at our last camp in the US came to me. And I just want to read it to all of you, if you don't mind. It's from Ezekiel chapter 33 from verse 30. And he says, But As for you, and this passage was to the prophet, not to the people, so this passage could be to our prophet, that is Bishop, he says, But As for you, son of man, your fellow citizens who talk about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak to one another, each to his brother, saying, come now, let us come now and hear what the message is which comes forth from the Lord. Let's go for a camp and let's go and hear a message at a meeting. They come to you as my people, come like we are gathered here today, and sit before you as my people and hear your words. But they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their hearts goes after their game. Behold, you are to them like a sensual song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument. For they hear your words, but they do not practice them. So when it comes to pass, as it surely will, then they will know that a prophet has been in their midst. I pray that this will not be true of us. Amen. Hallelujah. I want to touch on two things briefly. The first one is a point that Papa shared with us yesterday on seeing and admitting. And then he elaborated on why people don't see. And then he taught us about one thing, the one thing that I look at that Scripture in Mark chapter 10, verse 21, and you realize that the rich young ruler came to Jesus. He asked him a question, Jesus gave him an answer and he said he's done all. And Jesus told the and then verse 21 says that Mark chapter 10, verse 21, it is that and Jesus beholding him, loved him after he had beheld him and loved him. And then he came out with the phrase one thing that thou lackest. And he was telling us that before somebody tells you that one thing, he's saying it out of love. So you should admit it, see it as that. And this man, because he did not do that thing, all the other things that he had done, he had been very faithful. He had been unreal, experienced and all these things. It, I mean the one thing derailed all the good things. We didn't hear about him again. So I think we should also, I mean take it if it's pointed out to you, it's only one thing. You have a lot of good things about you, but if you miss it, it would derail all the good things about you. The second thing is about the reason why we are here. Maturity conference and all we are being taught. Proverbs chapter 13 verse 22 says that a good man lists an inheritance for his children's children. I believe we have a good father. Who? Is trying his best for us. He doesn't want. I mean, I wouldn't want my children to go through what I have gone through. I wouldn't want my children to start from where I started from. I would want to give cars and houses to my children when they are having their wedding. And that is what Papa has tried for us. But I see it as he's prepared a launching pad for us and we made it a bed and we lied on it and he has to come and weak us, weak us out from the launching pad and tell us that it is not a bed. Yesterday, the way Reverend Robert Dudu spoke, I mean, I felt very sad giving us an example. He has to remind us how Papa started and all this. And now we have a privilege and we've not been wise when we were blessed, we've not been wise. So I think we should think about it again and be very serious about all these things. That's why we wouldn't have this go through this maturity conference again. Thank you. But. I don't want to have maturity conference again. I already tired of the conference. I'm Emmanuel Clucci. Please, I I, I learned something and I want to share with all of us. That's the first point about the attacking the the source of strength of your enemy or the enemy attacking your, your source of strength. And Bishop made an example about you being righteous, you being holy. And I was meditating over this thing. And I believe that the Spirit of God spoke to me and I believe that all our ministries, the one major source of strength to all our ministries is the books and the teachings of the Bishop. And I believe that that area taking the books, maybe it may be that we've read a book several times and we may be familiar with things and we'll think that or we may think that we know that things that are in the book or we don't take our time to to actually read the book the way we ought to read them. And I believe that it's an attack. It may be a deception. You know, it's an attack that the enemy is trying to, you know, launch on us to cut us off. Because the Bible says that Jesus says that if if you're not connected to the vine, if you're not connected to the tree, the roots of the tree, you may not as a branch, you may not be able to bear any fruit. So I believe that it's an area we, we ought to look at that it's actually an attack the enemy is launching on us. Amen. I also want to touch on the first point, the warfare keys visual sees attack the source of strength of your enemy or know that the source of your strength is an attack by the enemy. I believe that in as much as we we can attack the source of strength of our enemy, we can also attack the source of his weakness because the enemy's strength of our us becomes when we disagree with his deceptions. In in Rick Jane's book on the final quest, he says that the enemy gains strength over us when we agree with his deceptions and anytime we disagree with the suggestions of the devil then his strength over us weakens. So I believe that we can make him weak by disagreeing with his suggestions and thoughts that are not true. Bible say that whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good reports, if there be any virtue, there be any praise. Let's think on these things. And I believe the other part says that know that the source of your strength is under attack by the enemy. I also think that if the enemy doesn't get us through our source of strength, he also exploits our weaknesses. Bible says that looking unto Jesus, the author and finish of our faith, who for the joy said before him endure the cross. Verse one says that since you are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and a sin that easily besets us. So I believe that the devil knows there's a sin that easily besets each one of us. So if it doesn't get us through our strength, he exploits our weakness for. His strength, Yes, Strength for weakness. Amen. My name is Rafael. Rafael. Thank you. My name is Rafael. Don't call Junior. Forgive me, Hallelujah. I I want to touch on the, the books, the books we have in the house. Some time ago. I I did my quiet time from Matthew 13 verse 44 and based on a few things that Bishop shared, I just want to just share a little of it, you know, in Matthew. Yes, in Matthew 13, verse 44, the Bible says that the Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that is heat in a field. Yeah, I mean what I mean, I realized that not every field or not every ministry has a treasure, you know, and I like him the field too. I like him. I said that it's it's like a treasure that is heat in a field. And you find out that when you take. Gold. For example, you know, gold is in Abwasi. You know, no matter how nice a crowd looks, it is gold. You find gold only in a place like Abwasi. Hallelujah, you find that gold is in Abwasi. It means that I realized that not every ministry has certain treasures, you know, And I believe that the treasures that we have in this house, you know, are the books, you know, and the Bible says that when he found it, he went to sell everything that he had. And then he bought that field. And he said that with joy, you know? He, he, he with. Joy, he goes out there and then he comes back to buy that particular field. So what I realized is that we are joyful over the field and the treasure we have in the field. But exactly. But we are not buying. Yes, yes, please. Amen. Thank you God. Bless you Rafael, the victor is spoken already. I want to talk about the books again. I think that I think that I've just realized that you know, yesterday Bishop was saying that the word of God is not just restricted to the Bible. The word of God is in the camps. The word of God is in the books, and I think that the kind of mind that. Like maybe it's you. Have you read opportunities? Oh yeah, I've read opportunities. So it's like I know their points, you know, and I think that, I mean, we read our Bibles every day and anytime we read the Bible, I mean, maybe you've read Matthew 1000 times and every day you sort of get something new. So I think that from now on, that's the attitude that I'm going to have towards the book, that when I pick up the book, it shouldn't be like, maybe I've read it already. And so I know the points but. I should pick it with the mind that as I've taken it, I'm going to get something new from it because the word is living. And so when I take any time, I take the book. It shouldn't be that. Oh, I knew the steps because maybe I've read it five times or six times, but I should expect to receive something new from it because the word is a living word. And I think with that attitude, it's going to work. A message that Bishop Adi introduced me to not too long ago is a generation of non readings. I'd like to recommend it to everybody you know. I think that in that message would find the importance. Of. Reading why we should read, how we should read, what we can get from reading and all that. So before you go, try and get that message. A generation of non readers. Something we've learned from the keys that we've been here, or something to share with us. Reverend Joel. I'll, I'll just mention briefly that Bishop, the first key in the warfare keys, he mentioned that we need to attack the source, source of our enemy strength and also to be aware that anything that is a strength to us is also under attack. And I'm thinking that sometimes you also don't know some of the things that are a source of strength to you. One time Jesus said that the things that belong to your peace are hidden from your eyes. So I think a way of knowing sometimes some of the things that are a source of strength is also to look for what is under attack. So an area in your life that is under constant attack is a pointer to a strength that you may not be aware of. It's. Not powerful. Two shots. I think you add a little. A lot of people are saying you add a little. Well, I guess what I'm saying is that there are some things that we do sometimes out of habit or out of culture. It's just you're in the system and you found it being done, so you flow with it without being necessarily aware that this particular thing contributes this to my life. So when you come to a place where you are struggling with that thing, you can easily let it go because you don't know what it's adding to your life. And that includes sometimes relationships. And so all I'm saying is that when you observe, or if you were to sit back and count or look at some of the struggles in your life, some of the relationships that are always under attack and some of the things that you struggle to do constantly, you know, if you would just wake up and see that actually it is a strength. That is why I'm struggling with it. I'm struggling with it because that particular area is one of my strengths. Then you will just rise up and treat it as an attack and overcome and come into some breakthroughs or at least defend something that has been a help to you in the past. I saw a hand here. See you. I I wanted to comment something on what Bishop said on Satan is after your penis. The source, you see, I think the penis is a source of strength and manhood. You know, it demonstrates manhood. Probably that's the reason why people who are not Christians marry many women and they demonstrate their manhood by the number of wives you know, they can conquer. You know, when somebody's made a minister, he gets more women. When somebody's made a chief, he gets more women, you know, that kind of thing. But with the Christian now, you know, it becomes a restriction. You know, it takes strength to even control it. And as soon as Bishop said that one, a verse came very strongly, you know, to me. And that's Genesis 49 verse three, you know, when Jacob was saying farewell to his children and he says something that Ruben, you are my might and the beginning of my strength and I understood that this thing. That's why, you know, we must be careful about it. I also want to talk about the the strength the enemy attacking the source of our strength is in the Bible. He's mentioned that Jacob mentions a human being as a source of his strength. And if the enemy attacks the source of our strength, one thing I know is that all of us here, any time we are weak, we are down and we listen to our Bishop, strength comes back. So in a great sense, he is a source of strength for all of us and even for our families, for our ministries, for our future, and even for our journey to get to heaven. So I would want to suggest that if truly the enemy will always attack a source of strength, then it's very obvious and very true that the enemy attacks our Father. And I would want to suggest that all of us here we come from is a suggestion. Please, if we could organize that all of the churches all over the world, Lighthouse churches, every time we meet in the service before when we start service, we pray even if 5 minutes for every service we have all over for the rest of our days on earth. If every service we pray just 5 minutes, all of us, we pray for Papa. I know people are praying for, we are praying for him individually, but that corporate kind of thing, if it's done consistently, I believe will create setting barrier around him so that this source of strength can be there for, for for as long as we'll be here party. I mean, it's a very good rule. I mean very, very good. We have to pray for him all the time. But if you make a rule like that, you know that you won't be it. I mean, it's not practical. So let's have a practice of praying for him regularly. Let's say that every time we meet 5 minutes, it won't work. Well, we know we won't do it. Even listen to you. We don't do it, you know what I'm saying? But then I, I think it's very important that we pray for him. But then what he's saying is that when we listen to him, we are blessed. So another source of attack would be cutting off his voice from your life, you say. And that is what you must also work at. Take the McConnell listen because the strength comes from listening to him. So the attack will come from interfering so many other voices flooding in and therefore catching up. Because one of the things I realized in talking, passing and so on, they become some way when they stop listening to him, that's when they start becoming some way. So that is the source of your screen being attacked before you realize you have changed totally and completely. All right. Thank you, Richard Saki, Pastor Jake, I'm sure you say something. Which of them? I think another thing that comes to mind, this one Bishop was sharing on the on the warfare. He began by saying that in in warfare, a lot of lives are involved and that is that makes it important for that hard line of assessment. And so a general who is going to war, the life of the nation, the life of the troops, I mean, even people who have given money for to support the war and all that is involved. So it's like that one person who is in charge out there is controlling so many lives that are known to you, that are known to you. So the success or failure of your mission has a lot of implications. And that is why it becomes so important for a certain hard line of assessing what we are doing, what we have done, what we are going to do. And like we went through earlier, it's like that the facts cannot lie, the graphs cannot lie, the chats cannot lie. And and so I think it's another dimension we have to think about that. You know, you could be out there as a single missionary or two people, a few of you, and that may just be the world you are looking at. But a lot of lives are involved in just you or me being out there. And what I do or do not do can affect thousands of people who should come into the Kingdom, thousands of people who should be saved. People that God has plucked in places waiting for us to reach may never be reached because of my failure or your failure. And therefore our judgments become greater before God, much more than we can think. And I think that the sentence keeps ringing in my heart that a lot of lives are involved in warfare, and that's why it becomes important for that hard line of assessment and judgment, as it were, because we are involved in a war. And so let's think of that dimension as well. It's not only me, it's not only you. So many lives. And through the obedience and the righteousness of one man, media are so affected. Amen. Hallelujah. I think the second point is you must attack the alliances, friends and friendships of the enemy. And I think for me that brings my mind back again to maybe disloyal people, you know, whilst when Bishop was talking about the virus, while somebody. Enters into your church who is disloyal. The person has become an ally and a friend of the enemy. Your camp, you know, and you must see that person then as somebody you must fight to to remove from your mess. You know, because the parents now become an ally. The person was once a friend or whatever, but once the person has become an ally of the enemy, you must attack the person they feel like. Doesn't like the 5th column. Yeah, for me that's what comes to mind. Reverend on purple. Hallelujah. Bishop spoke about personal relationship with God. And I believe that it's one of the areas that we should be very conscious. Of because as you do the work, you can become so engrossed in the work and you lose your. Personal one man relationship with God. You, you, you can you'll be preaching every day, you'll be building every day, you'll be visiting every day. You do a lot of things, but to have your own time and I think that comes to quiet time and your prayer, our prayer lives. I feel that we should really look at that. Path because we can go for a. Long time without really focusing on that path and we seem to be going on. I mean you can preach the preaching work. You know, sometimes I feel that God wants, God needs to bless the people. So sometimes even when your relationship with him is really not working, God has to bless the people. So he. Would move and he would do things, but I think that it comes down to you and God at the end. And even when we stand before God, it's going to be a matter of you're you a Christian, you know, in relation to God. So I think that as pastors, one of the areas that we we can easily, you know. Do a head up on is our personal 1 to one relationship. With God. So maybe we should also keep track of the fact that you are always busy for God doesn't mean that you have a personal relationship with him. So yeah, to focus on it. Amen. Reverend Nathaniel. I think one thing that blessed me yesterday was sharing on. Was Bishop Sharon on so be quick to see and admit and he went on to say that what differentiates between people is a speed at which you know you see enforcement. They are pointing to you and one you have experience or one I know, and this check in our setting that if something is pointed to you and you don't see, you'll be made to see. So like now by the time that you are made to see, you've gone through so much that in the end you think it's your life that has not been attacked and not nothing that has been pointed out to you. And I think it blessed my heart a lot when people said one thing. And usually that is what it is. You know, when something is being pointed out to you, it's very easy for you to think that your whole life, you know, is being attacked. You know, and even if it's pointed out to you in that moment, you don't see it. Try to think and see it. Try to see what is being said because you see that it's very easy for when something's being pointed out to you, the immediate response is to defend yourself. You know, action and reaction are opposite and equal. So you try to, I mean, that's it's a natural response, but I think we have to go beyond the natural, you know, and so also to know that we are operating in the spiritual. So when something's being pointed out to you, I think the speed at which you see it is very important because like I said, you'll be made to see it. The earlier you see it, the better it will be for you. I mean, like even in shuffling conferences, you know, when I mean you could see a very clear issue somebody has been in place for. Three years he has membership of 15 and it's like you know he can't say that he's not doing well you know to to to be in a place for three years a big house rented for you, 3 bedroom house rented for you you've been paid every month some even having a. Car. And after 2-3 years, you have 1520 members. I mean you, before you even come, you should have seen it. So that as you come and it's been pointed out to you, the best thing is to ask for help that I mean, I need help, I'm not doing well. But to try to defend the fact that you're not doing well now, it drags the whole thing. And at the end of the day, you will see by the time you see it, you are so wounded. Exactly. Because again, I've been wondering after, I mean, this is more like a shuffling because I'm wondering what we are going to do in next week's shuffling. You see? So that point is that earlier you see it and ask for help. You are helped and blessed because you'll be made to see. Amen. Oh, you can clap if you want. You'll be made to see next week. You'll see what we have to do at Shuffler. This afternoon when Bishop was sharing on the warfare case, I immediately was able to identify the difference between the strength and the source of the strength. And I asked myself, is it possible that I may be operating on the strength and have left the source unguarded so that the enemy can easily attacked me on the source was I think that I'm OK because I'm operating just in the strength. It came to me just about last week or so. I was having a lot of problems with mosquitoes in my house since it started raining and I will buy mosquito coils spray and thin. And by the following day, I still saw that the mosquitoes are still around. So it is just this message that made me to understand that I was just dealing with their strength. But the source where the mosquitoes are coming on, I have not thought about it. And so I realized that there's a difference between just the strength and the source of the strength, and that we should take note of. It prophet, they didn't want to say something. I think that as we have been sharing on the military maneuvers, I think that the the strength, the source of the strength has actually it has done on me strongly that we should always look at the source of our strength and protect it. And Samsung has strength. The source of his strength was his hair, but he did not protect it. So I realized that although the source may be there, one thing you need is you got, you really have to mouse some tight security around it, otherwise something else can come and take that source away. So we really will have to protect ourselves so that we don't lose the source of our strength. Powerful, Julie. Yeah, I just want to talk on the books. When you read Revelations chapter one, verse three, it says blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which were written therein for the time is at hand. The scripture I can apply to like Blessed is he that readeth the book and he that listeneth to the tapes and keep her the things. I think that the point on the books is such an important point. I remember one time I was praying and I was asking God that God just give me one point that will make my church grow. And I took that mega church book and I I just opened to a page and I read just one sentence and that sentence was that people come to church because of the pasta, but they stay in church because of friends. The following Sunday when I went to church, I said, who don't have a friend in church? This is your friend, this is your friend. And all these poor people who used to come and go, but after I gave them friends, they stayed in church. Amen. I think it'd be nice to hear from Bishop Adi. What do you think? I don't see careful Bishop Adi to you know, treat Fathers carefully. I think all that has been shared is very powerful. I I really feel very touched by everything that has gone. Oh, but am I not speaking? Yeah. And, and I think it's very powerful. I just want to say that whatsoever he has said to you, do it. Because like, like it's been emphasized, perhaps this non dependent situation will itself make you move forward. But I pray that we don't come here next year and maybe you are being retired from full time ministry or you know, you are being withdrawn from some country or some mission. I mean, because for all of us, this is what we want to do. This is why yesterday when I was listening to the people as they were coming in, I mean I was so moved as I saw people who had come. All they want to do with their lives is to preach and to serve God. They don't want to do any other thing, work in a bank or anything. They desire for the world and it's you know, it's attraction is all gone. And they stood here very bold, very confident. I want to serve God. I want to do well. I want to do the ministry. All I wanted the ministry and I felt it was a moving thing. And I just pray that beyond our willingness and desire to go, these keys are the things to do. It's not enough to just have a strong desire and zeal. You know, you need to actually do what is being said. Because as we can see, those who haven't done it, you can see clearly people are not having to look for jobs. The thing you are running away from, you are now going to have to look for it. You see, you actually left it so you can give yourself wholly to the Lord. Now since you came, other attractions have made you not do the things that you came to do. And so as generals are being assessed by their deeds and your deeds are being assessed, you now find yourself having to go back, looking back to the city from whence we, we, we, we, we came. Do you see? So I'm just, my heart burns for the fact that this is all we want to do and the principles, the keys, the things that are being said, there's no other mystery apart from what is being said. And you can see already that these things, they've been written for more than 4-5 years, six years preached them. More than 7-8 years we've been preached, written down. It's in camps, it's in books. But just because we don't, we don't do them. Five years, six years after the same things are preached as if we've never heard them, or they have never been written, or they have never been seen before. And then our desire to serve God fully and work for Him the rest of our days. You find yourself not having to return to that place where you run away from, you run away from Pharaoh. Now you are going back to him to look for his assistance. You get it. And, and sometimes you can see clearly that is instructions that have been given that are that are not being followed. And that's why I'm saying that. I just want to say that whatsoever we are hearing today when we go back is being said. We write notes. We never go back to them. But if you've written down notes, I think you should do a Bible study or a personal study on them line by line and see what in those things can be implemented where you are when you go back. For these who are more noble than those in Thessalonica in that they received the Word of God with all readiness of mind, and then they set the scriptures daily to see what other things were. So, and that's searching the thing daily, the thing that has been preached. For the thing preached did not profit them not being mixed with faith, do you see? And unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them, but they did not mix it with faith. So what has been preached, we need to mix it and run with it. For we ought to give them more NSC to the things we have had, lest at any time we should let them sleep. And the thing, they slip. And you see it in our ministries. And it saddens me to see people who want to do all they want to do is to serve God and die in the place to see them having to return to get a job. So you do that thing part time. May God help us think of you've made me speak for a long time. Nice. Really. All right, Mr. Joe. I, I, I, I just want to go back to yesterday and say something about coming out of the dark. You know, the, the, the, the vest said that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. Then it said that if we say we have fellowship with him and we walk in darkness, then we lie and the truth is not in us. Then it says, but if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another. So and then the blood of Jesus cleanses us, you know, and, and I, I get the picture of God being like somebody who comes, who comes into the open, comes into the courtyard to inviting you also to come into the open to come and fellowship, come and relate. And when he comes, he comes with blood to take care of the things that will be exposed by you coming out of the darkness into the light. So what what seems or what I see there is that that what we all have a lot of is shame and the things you don't want me to know about you are mostly the things you're embarrassed about. And, and so maybe one of the things that we need to do or the other side that we need to develop in terms of people also being open with us is also to ask ourselves if we can handle people in the light. In other words, can you handle me in the light when I come out? Can you handle my nakedness when when I come out? Because God, when he's coming to relate with us, he's expecting the worst. He's not surprised about the things that come as you come. And he comes with blood, you know, and he says if you come and walk in the light, as he is in the light also, then the blood will do its work, will cleanse us from all the things that are exposed by that kind of interaction, you know. But I think that one of the reasons why people hide in the dark is because they are not sure how you would deal with them when they come into the light. And sometimes we are so shocked by what people bring into the light and we don't all together handle it maturely. And sometimes we never even forget it, you know. So I think one of the things that will help us is if we also, in addition to coming out into the light yourself, we also learn how to handle other people in the light. And the way you do it is also to come with blood, just like God. I think God is teaching us an important element in relationship that we have to be prepared if we want people to be open with us, and if we want people to talk to us and come into the light, then they must see blood that is prepared to forgive and cleanse all the things that the light exposes. I think it's real. Well, I think that we've had a lot of things and let's try and do it and we'll be blessed. Amen. We've all been through this and we are still going through it when Bishop always correct us and you advise us and you talk to us and when you listen to it, well, you do it. You are blessed. If you don't listen to it and you don't do it, you'll not be blessed. So let's do it. Let's not just talk about it and say so many things about it. Let's just do it. If it's octopus, go and start. Octopus churches. Don't just go and sit down and wait till truffling is coming and it's organized one or two people and come and see the IO church members. Let's go and start now and let's do it and we'll be blessed. Amen. Powerful. I want to share something relating to the reading, what Bishop said about the books that he has written and all that. I remember once on campus I was having my quiet time. I read a scripture from Luke 10, verse 26. I'll read from 25. It says that. And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou? And I remember God was telling me that we can see a lawyer who naturally we think that is a widely read person. He reads a lot. He knows about all the things he should have read, known the law. What will be the key for him to enter into ministry, become who he can become, get opportunity to maybe what the sons of Zebedee were asking their mother was asking for them to sit on the right hand side of Jesus, be a mega church pastor and all that. But the question is how do we read? How do we read? And I want to make a plea to all of us and to myself to as Bishop was saying that just one of the books to take it upon ourselves to read and read and read over again. I will get something. Amen. There's a lot of reading advice, so I think we should read. By the time we finish this camp, we should become readers. Anyone wasn't spoken. Michael. Pastor Robert. I'll come to him, right? Praise the Lord, I just want to talk a little bit about the yes, about the the last point that Bishop gave us concerning this war situation. That's what the action, your actions are, who you are and what you are and not what you say you are or what you say or how your explanations are. Before I came for ISI I I was really seeking the Lord asking Lord, what can I do? What am I lacking? And I read, I was reading The Art of Leadership and I saw something that was a strong rebuke. It's like what Bishop was telling me, I felt him telling me from the book that the way you take decisions or your decisiveness is a very weak, great weak point in your leadership. And it's almost like you are not a leader. And it really shook me. And if I had not read that thing, I'd. I would never have accepted a certain review that Pastor Marcel gave to me. Like he really rebuked me concerning something and he explained that it's because of this thing. And if we, it may look harsh. Oh, like I want you to listen to what I'm trying to say, my version of the story, even though the statistics are there. But but then we don't naturally accept our weaknesses and the things that we do not do or we do not know. But then when we accept that the result as it is, the facts as they are, show what we are and what we have done, it makes us work harder. It makes us also realize that, listen, the truth is that I am this even though I have various reasons, because naturally we are self preserving and naturally we we are sympathetic to ourselves and to our situation. Hallelujah. Amen. Reverend Robert, And you know something I was just sharing with a few guys here last night, I, I want to say it's based upon this point, the source of your strength. When Bishop started off in ministry, Papa Hagen didn't give him any money to start the church. And the one person we've known that he relates to is Papa Hagen by Bishop. He gave me his book. And just the other day when he was talking about books, it then dawned on me that truly the first exposure I had to Papa Hagen was a book and then his tapes. And you will notice that all his life, Bishop has been reading, reading, reading, reading Papa Hagen's books. Today we know that he reads a lot from Rick Joyner, not because he's hoping that Rick Joyner would give him some money to finish the building project. So the point I'm trying to make is his affinity for he's pursuing these men of God is for the real reason, which is not help that he will get from them directly in terms of material things. But that's the most important thing, which is the anointing. And therefore he, he doesn't, he's not reading to pass an exam. He, he, he, he, he is not reading so that he can defend himself at a shuffling conference, but has been able to descend at the most important thing. The source that I need is that anointing. And, and I believe that through this exercise, like we, we saw, I mean, Keys, Davidic's success, all these things we've been taught already. But if we could only read the books, his books, the way he reads Big Joyner's books, the way he has read Papa Hagen's books and reads them, then we are really tapping into the real thing, which is the source, the anointing. Because whether you are dependent or mature non dependent, you are still operating under the anointing that is upon the ministry. So this is my little contribution by way of protecting the source of our strength, the words through tapes, the words through books and eating them up. Amen.
