05. Enemies Of Ministry

Welcome to track #5 of Mission America. Are you enjoying the music? You are more music. Wow, you hold my destiny. Fantastic, right? Today I want to talk about enemies of ministry, enemies of ministry and is all found in Second Corinthians chapter 4. We are actually studying one verse in the Bible at the camp, Second Corinthians chapter 4, verse #1 It says, therefore, seeing that we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not, Amen. So seeing that we have this ministry, yesterday I was proving to you that you do have a ministry, Amen. And I was explaining to you that once you receive mercy, you must work for the person who showed you mercy. Is it all true? And I told you the story of how the Germans spies were arrested as soon as they landed in England. They were shown we hang you tomorrow morning or you work for us. And once we were shown, the messy said, OK, we work for you. It was compulsory, messy and compulsory work. Amen. And he says, what are we supposed to do with this ministry that we have received? You know, we must not receive this ministry in vain. Amen. We must be devoted to it. And now we are. This is our 20th anniversary. We are celebrating 20 years. And what are we going to say to ourselves at this 20 years? Are we going to congratulate ourselves? No, we're going to say shame on ourselves that we didn't fill the whole of America with churches in 20 years. That 20 years came to pass and we were not able to fill put churches in every state. So instead of having a party to celebrate, we must cry and pray for forgiveness. Amen. So that God will give us some extension. You see, by now we should have been besting at the borders of North America to Latin Central America and people should have been saying, listen, we have no anywhere Again, we don't know where to go. It's the next place is Mexico, isn't it? And where again after Mexico, Costa Rica, is that the next place after Mexico? You don't know the geography because you haven't thought of being a missionary. You have not been. Checking the maps. You should have checked your map by now. Amen. Are you listening? So since we have received mercy, we are not going to be tired and I was showing you yesterday that mercy is seen in the fact that you are. Alive that you are well. And that you are here. Amen. Wow. Now verse 2 we have it says but he was explaining what he has done to be in the ministry. We have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. Amen. This is what He has done. He has. He has done what? Renounced the hidden things of dishonesty in order to be in the ministry. He has renounced hidden things of dishonesty, and then #2 he has not walked in craftiness. He's not too. Clever. See, when you are too clever, you can't be doing well in the ministry. Because you are too fast, too clever, crafty, you know everything. You know what is going to be said next and you know why he's going to say that and you know the story he's going to tell in relation to that. And you know the antidote to that thing. This is more of the antidote you have, but you don't analyze yourself to know that you have an antidote to the message. Antidote means something that cancels that message. Is it a not too loud here? It's OK, All right then, maybe here, all right, because you are so clever, you see, when you are too clever, when you are so clever, all right, that you, you know too much, you sometimes rather become a fool. You know all the messages. You know everything, but actually you know nothing. You see, a camp is a very serious thing. Listening to a camp to listen to jokes and funny aspects and to have a laugh or two. You have missed the reason why the camp was because for me, I'm I'm very serious about what I'm doing. There's no joke in any of the things I'm doing. If it is a joke to you, then you've missed the point. So we are. Very serious. And you must be very, very serious also when you are listening to a camp message, you must ask yourself, what is God saying and what am I supposed to do? I can't be hearing things and never listening to the to obeying the Lord. Amen. So the first important area that Paul explained. Let's read verse one and two. No, let's read verse 1. He says 2nd Corinthians 4 verse one. Therefore, seeing that we have this ministry as we have received mercy, we faint not. You see, we've received the ministry in corresponding to the mercy that God has given to us. We have decided not to think or be discouraged or give up. Rather will be devoted. Rather will not take it in vain. Rather will pay attention to it. Rather will fulfill it. OK, we'll work hard then, he says. But what else? What else did? He do to be in the ministry. He says I've renounced hidden things of dishonesty. OK, now amazingly, it is hidden things that make us unfruitful or that make the ministry not work. You see, when I come and I stand here and I ask for why are we not in all the states in America having more churches, winning more souls? If I ask why, the real reasons are hidden things. Hidden things and they. Are of dishonesty. The reason why they are of dishonesty is because we are often not honest about the hidden things that are the real reasons. Why we are not doing the will of God, yes. So as of all he said for me, I renounced all the hidden issues and that's how come I'm able to do well in the ministry. I've I've just. I've just. I've just given up all the hidden things. That is why it is important for us to communicate, Amen. It is important for us to communicate. It is important for us to be open, Amen. Because hidden things greatly, greatly affect. All that we are doing and that we are trying to do, is there anybody outside? Nobody outside, OK. Amen. Now what are these hidden things that greatly affect our ministry? OK, tell me the second Peter, second Peter chapter one, Second Peter chapter 1 and verse #5 second Peter #1 second Peter #1 chapter 5 verse 5, Second Peter one verse 5. It says, And besides all this giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, and to patience godliness, and to godliness brotherly kindness. Yeah. And to brotherly kindness, charity, for if these things be in you and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. How many of us ladies here want to be barren? I don't think anybody wants to be barren, not have a child. No, everybody wants to have a child. Now look at the number of things. Go back to verse 5. That need. To be in you so that you avoid barrenness. Number one is what? Diligence, faith, virtue, knowledge, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, charity, so many things, small fruitfulness that you will be you know, there's a lot of things. Isn't it amazing? It is not one thing, but several small small things make you need need to. Have before you are fruitful so as a. Church you know you see we are celebrating 20 years of being around what are the things that have not let us fulfill our mandate in. 20 years that will be here. Hidden things? Yeah, Hidden things. Small, small things. And look at what he says. He gave me a long list of small, small things. Diligent faith, virtue, this, this, that, that. So many things you know so. And there are often hidden things. Amen. Is it not true? So now the. Question that we have to ask ourselves is when a woman is not able to have a child or a couple is not able to have a child. If a pastor, sooner or later you will come across something like that because not every woman has a child. Ideally, every woman should have a child, but it is not so. In real life, that is why. It's like everybody should have eyes, but not everybody has eyes. True, not everybody can see. Ideally, everybody should see not having a child is one of the many things that we have in the world. It's like it's like death. It's one of the things that is part of the society and you have to grow up to know that it is part of. Our lives, it's just like how not everybody gets married. Ideally everybody get married, but it's not an ideal world now. In order to understand why many times we struggle with having fruits, we have always to look at hidden things. You see, somebody can be walking on the road. You cannot know the real reason why this person is having this problem. When I met Stevie Wonder, I asked him how he became blind, you know, And then he started to tell me we had to go, but he told me a little. But you, you will be surprised at the reason, the hidden reason for the problems that we experienced in our lives. Amen. Now, one of the things, are you feeling sleepy? Are you all right? Everything OK? OK, is that minshe in the church? Tell. Somebody did you learn a new word yesterday? Minshe minshe in the church. Now, what I'm sharing with you now is the reason why the hidden things, reasons why it's difficult sometimes to have fruits and then it's difficult to have children, a lighthouse, to have fruits in the whole of America and the whole of Central America #1 these are the hidden enemies of our fruitfulness. Number one, lack of youthfulness. Lack of youthfulness. Now you need to be young. To have a baby. Barbara, have you finished having babies? So one more is coming, no more. But when you were younger, you wouldn't have said that. You would have smiled sheepishly. And the next time I see you, you'll be pregnant because you know what you are doing. But when you are older, you come up with reasons you don't want it. Isn't it? So you. Need to be young to have babies. Amen. 25 years old is usually the peak of your fertility. Yeah, 25 and it starts to decline after that. Are you still around? Yeah. Yeah. 25 is the peak now. Every woman is born into this world with a set of eggs. I don't know if you How do they put eggs in crates here in America? Like crates like that? Yeah. So every woman is born with a set of eggs all the way up to here square like this. You have it like that in crates in your. Ovary. Yeah, so you have one set of crates. Of eggs on the right and one set of crate of eggs on the left. They are not created every every year. If you are born with the eggs you have, so by the time you are when you start to have your period, every month you give up one of the eggs from the crate, one of the eggs on the right the next month. You serve another one fried egg, the next one boiled egg, the next one puched egg. Every month you give one of the eggs. Like that omelette? Yes, and sometimes 2. Now, because no. New egg is created as the eggs stay there. Now the eggs are 35 years old. 42 years old eggs that have been in the crates for 42 years. Now you see that the egg will be there, then it would change like. This things will shift within the eggs then when you yes, because in in even in the shop. They would have given you that this egg is expired. So as you get older the eggs are older and they twisted like that. So then when you are frying it or you give it a realise that something is wrong, the whole thing has mixed up in a way. Hey, so you find out that from a certain age then you start to. Give birth to abnormalities. Then you see that it's twisted like this. When the child comes, realize that oh, this leg is shorter or the hat has got. Something a hole somewhere or some complex it was joining. It's like the egg was it was so old that it just did another adjustment or the brain is not as it should be. One of the commonest is the Down syndrome. Yeah, I visited a pasta once and I was sitting there when one of his children came. Instead of the child to greet us normally, he started to smile foolishly and think. And he, he said to his son, say hello to Uncle Derek. And then he went and he told me if everybody in the area likes him, he likes singing. Yeah. And he said, Luke, I told my wife three children is enough. And she insisted we are old. She insisted. Look at, look at, look at what we have. It's a Down syndrome, yeah. Now, from a certain age, from 35 upwards, you see that the chances is 10 times more that the time will come. And it's like it's a little adjusted, you see. So when you wait. Too long. To do the ministry. See you later when you start, then all things are down. It's a down single ministry. You have waited. You have waited too long to start what God has put in your heart to do. You've waited and waited and waited. You see that now it's an adjustment and then you are trying to force something. Look at this, this is this is 20 years effort, 20 years effort. Supposing we are now coming to start. And so we want to be like Lighthouse. We are now coming to start. Do you know how, how quickly it takes to be where we are even as we have been struggling for 20 years? Look at where we are. Separate camps, meetings or for meetings or for meetings, hey, shuffling, shuffling conference. These issues, hey. Meetings and you want to come and quickly be where somebody is after he has struggled for 20 years before you realize you start doing something wrong. Yeah, that is why the ministry is something you start early. Look, childbearing is done early. As early as possible, ladies. If you are marrying, you are going to start just strike Papa, and then it's over. I'm. I'm waiting. I want to do this before you realize the egg has become like this. And the egg is moving like this for fertilization. Hey. Yeah. So you see. Your youthfulness. Your age is very important. That is why in encouraging the young people to work for God, I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm rather doing what is right because it's going to take your whole life to achieve anything for God, even your own personal life. How long does it take to get stable? The television in your house is not a debt, do you understand? It's for you. It takes a long time. Isn't it true? To buy your own television, to buy your own fridge and your own chairs, it takes time. Yeah, the whole of this work that we are talking about involves the whole life. That is why, pastors, you must encourage the people at the youngest possible age where you can see this person is mature and knows what is bad things in the world. He must be able to know what are good things and let them speak. After all, we always thought we knew everything. We were young. Amen. Andy, how old were you when you came to Canada? 32 years old. Yeah, you see 32. You're very young. You came from England as a missionary. It's a mission and you have been there. And how old are you now? 47, That's 15 years been in Canada and you were a. Pastor for how many years in England? Maybe about five years. Three years, yes, it takes a long time. So what you have what what you have achieved, you know that's. What can be achieved, You see what I want you to do is that when I'm traveling, you see that I'm going somewhere to the beach. Come also when you come, you, you see so many things and you even become encouraged. You come and say, well, oh, this was somebody that mine is not bad at all, you know? Plus all time we always think. Because as I'm here, obviously I'm not coming here to praise you. My duty is not to praise you. Praises is in heaven. Do you understand? But occasionally you see certain things. Oh, what you are doing is not bad at all. Let's press on and do some more. Yeah, traveling is very, very good. It heals your heart and it encourages you, sometimes discourages you, but it is good. Amen. So, my friend, let's start at young look. Either you use your life for bad things or for good things the younger you start them. That's why today people donate eggs. They donate eggs that you want to have a child at a certain age, you can have a donation of an egg, a fresh egg. You understand what I'm saying? Fresh egg. And now that we 20 years have gone back, we need some fresh eggs in the church. I want to see some. Fresh. Fresh faces, fresh eggs that are being released. Yes, because some of us are. We are too old. Not that we are too old for that, but. It's a little. More difficult, yes. And complicated, yeah. I am a specialist at frying eggs. Yeah, when when my wife sees me in the kitchen coming to fry eggs for my daughter or for whoever is there, she she she steps back. She knows that the master is here. Yeah, yeah, this. Is the only thing I can do. Yes, yes, it's the only thing I can do. And at least it's just one thing. Some of you cannot do even what I can do. So be careful when you are laughing at me. And one of the things when I crack the egg and I open, I see the egg. There are different types of eggs. Hey, you see that? Even the colour of the yolk is almost. Quite where I come from. Some of them you would expect the yolk to be defined, but it's like it's just mixed with the things. This egg. What is wrong with this egg? Is it a good egg? Sometimes you crack it. You see that as if the chicken was trying to start coming. Yeah. So that the chicken is coming. It's time to turn into a chicken. Wow. So I pray for you. You know, pastors, you see, remember, if you are my disciples, remember how I encourage you. Still remember? But you were. Not in Chicago before you were. Where were you? How you are? I've encouraged you. Go you should remember all these places you are sometimes there was a lot of. Encouragement some of you. You went on your own, but still you are there and you started churches. Remember, even when you were becoming pastors, you didn't want to become a pastor. A lot of you have credit with me over this thing. But you are now happy that you are pastors. Is it not true? Now there's mission in the church. Listen, I want you to release your young people because it takes a young person. Young people, don't worry that energy you feel in you is necessary for fruit bearing. Youthfulness is necessary. Not old age, rather old age brings forth these abnormalities. Yeah, be careful #2 excitement. Excitement is necessary, is one of the hidden things that is absent, you see, and that's what Paul says. I have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty like I won't admit it. Now, what are the hidden things of dishonesty? One of the hidden things is the lack of youthfulness. Because I'm sure you would. You would, you would. Because you realize that most of us who are older, either you have a mortgage, you have some connection, you have some something that links you to where you are in such a complicated way that you cannot easily go. But the younger person, the eggs are free, free eggs. You can easily just go pack your mug and go. And once it gets older, the air is now complex, complexly related to other things. So you may even have a desire. I'm living. But you are living to where you cannot just go now. You can't just go now, pulling you and stay. Sit down here, sit down. But the younger people who have not yet got a mortgage, have not yet done this, have not yet done so many things. It is your turn to go. Yeah, excitement is the next thing when people cannot have children. Many times one of the reasons is a lack of excitement, that it is excitement that leads to erections. Without excitement we cannot have an erection. Do you understand erection when I say erection? You can explain it. Who said you can explain it? Who needs explanation? Without excitement. There will be no erection. Without erection, the thing that has to go in to pour the seeds in cannot enter, but it needs the erection and the erection needs. The excitement, I don't, I don't, I don't think that that is what you. Know it is. Haven't you heard of Viagra? What is Viagra used to treat? Viagra is used to treat the problem that the person has a desire to do it but does not have the excitement or that so he has it's like I want to, but the, the, the, the, the erection you see, like when people are young, they are excited, they have erection easily. Yes, Is the newbie there and I'll say hey. But as they get older, sometimes they have been or when people married newly, there's a lot of excitement. There is no provocation. Sometimes one of my some when my young young people get married, they'll be sending me texts. We have already done it 11 times. But there is me set in the marriage, me set in the marriage. We have done it 7 times already by the morning 6 times. There is minshe in the marriage. But these same. People, you meet them later and you ask them when was the last time and they'll be calculated. Oh. I'm sure. It must be this year, this year, this year. Oh yes, I thought this year was in January. It was in January. The same people. Wow, it must be this year. Oh yes. Once in January and once in in February. So what is it that has gone down? Excitement, you see, And when you stay around in church for a long time, analyzing, questioning, calculating and recalculating and reassessing, your excitement goes down for the mission, the initial joy that you had. Chali, let's go all out for God all the way. No question, Chali, let's just move after all those things go down and say, look, think about what you agree. Just look, let's talk about it. And that is why people lie by each other and you sit down and say that this person was quarreling with me, this person was doing it. They start to think. When the person touches you like that touches you, there's no excitement. Excitement is gone. Without thinking, you say you love me. Look at what you say, Look at what you did. Look at this. Listen, nothing, you are there. They have become like 5 kilos of beef just lying there. Excitement is. Gone. Out of you thinking and thinking and rethinking and reanalysing and rethinking. We are all there, yeah. You see when you sit down and think, that's why, that is why there was a today. If you hear the word of God. Today, if you hear the word of God, Haken. Obey. Today, if I had waited to analyze, where would my children go to school? I never knew that my child, one of my children will become a doctor. Today. My my daughter, even my little daughter is in the medical school. I just thank God. Well when they were going to school I never thought about it when my wife even asked me where will they go to school. This was nursery school. I said I don't know, I'm sure they will get a school and she kept on saying so well not not in the future when it was time. I said find a school and my. School at my nursery school, I think it has been closed down the one I attended. So she found one in the area and she told me she has seen a new school that is starting called Christ Ambassadors and there was no member in the school. I said I'm sure it's a good school, let them go there. Yeah, so my son was a founder of a school. Why not? It's not a problem. It's not a problem it. Wasn't I was just thinking. About all that. How do they become in the future? I'm so surprised. I have two, two children in medical school today. Yeah, it was not my plan at all. I never. Knew. That all I would never thought through all those things when you think through as they are touching in their whole whole thing, you are the whole. Honey, honey, honey, honey. That's all finished, Sally. Let's sleep. There is no min share in the House. So you see all people. They lie by each other like Wawa logs and Odum logs on a track that are going to the harbor. They lie like dead bodies, but young people? Wow, there is minshe in the house. That's why, you see, you should marry young. Don't wait too long to marry, because when you marry your middle people who marry when they are older, they don't marry usually out of love. They marry out of calculation. Yeah. I don't see how I can fall in love with anybody again. I know too much to fall in love. If I was ever to have to marry again, I would marry out. I would tell you, though I don't love you. You must know that I don't love you. But I need to. My house is quiet. Come and stay there. I cannot. I cannot fall in love again. Every fast. All those things are fast. Hey, Yeah. How can I fall in love with you? I have already loved one person. It's enough. Look, I don't love you. You have the space. You can come. It's not easy to to this this. Falling in love thing. No, no, no, no, no, no. To be excited again. I mean at a mature person you are so excited. At your age, you yourself will not be excited. I know too much to be excited. Yeah, you know, but when you are young, when you are young. You get what I'm saying? There's some natural. We are going to Guatemala. We are going to. What are we going to do there? I don't know. We are going. Where are we going? We are going. Heaven knows where we are going. We know we will. Yeah, and we know God will take care of us and we go that that is it. It is the absence of this. It's the absence. That's why I said that I hate it. We will not honestly say, you know, you don't honestly come and tell me, Bishop, I'm not excited anymore about. The work of God, Bishop. I'm too old for the work. Of. Nobody will admit it. That's why I call hidden things of dishonesty that we are not honest to say that, Charlie, I'm not. I don't feel young enough. I'm too old. You can't even say those words. I'm too old. At the age of 40. Something you say I'm old. How? Are you ready to? Die. But you see, actually that is the hidden reality that we are. We feel too old and we are too old and the reality is that we are not excited. We have had too much time to think through and too much thinking has made us quench Yes no erection he. Always remembers it. Erection doesn't mean sexual desire. Don't don't equate the two. You have to understand your body. It doesn't mean sexual desire. The desire is different from the erection. That is why men have a lot of desire and they buy the drug to help them have the excitement that brings the erection. But they they. Want to do it, but there's no enemy. So sometimes also I'm preaching here a lot of older pastors, hey, it's true. I want to do it. But there's a natural excitement for what you are saying is talk about they desire. Oh, this is a good thing. It's a good thing, yeah. Hey all ladies, young ladies and young men who want to be married. I feel that anointing for marriage stand up quickly. Let me pray for you. Father, I ask you to give marriages to your children, give them partners, help them, bless them. I pray in Jesus name, Amen. #3. Lack of activity. Activity. You see, ministry takes activity. Yeah, activity. Without action, there cannot be children. Yeah, you see. 111, Pastor. Young pastor. He met his wife, he had he had traveled and his wife also came. They were together in the morning. He said. You know, last night I was wondering in my room when I was interacting with my wife, am I an Acrobat or a gymnast or an aerobics specialist? What a question am IA gymnast Am I doing gymnastics? What am I doing? Is it because to have children, people who have children, if you can video inside their room, you ask yourself, is it gymnastics I'm looking at? Is this aerobics I'm looking at? Hey, you see, and you ask yourself, all these gymnastics and aerobics lead to a child. And that's what when you look at when you look at. To give birth to a church so as to go here and in the morning you have to call this person, go to this person's house, visit them, reach here, organize their program, collect instruments, do this. You ask yourself once am IA, am IA technician, am IA driver, am IA telephonist, am IA general, am I the manager? Of the whole world. And what am I, you ask yourself? You also say, What am I Crusade director, am IA singer, am IA producer of music, What am I to be fruitful? There's so many activities you even wonder which of these. Activities leads to the fruit, Yeah, because at some point in the acrobatics something will happen and then before I realize the fruits are coming out. Wow. True ministry, they wonder sometimes the different. Things that you do to be in the ministry and to have fruit. You just wonder since I've been in the ministry to be a fruit. There are so. Many things I've done Engineering, architecture, music, singing, playing instruments, directing music videos, film production. Writing, I'm so acrobatics, all these acrobatics, gymnastics, aerobics, which at a certain point I may be tired to do. Somebody, somebody asks what is oh, just do whatever you want to do. It's OK. I will be tired of producing films because I'm involved in producing films. I may be tired, so it's OK. Just do whatever music. No, just sing, sing a hymn. Just sing a hymn. Oh God, I have been ages back. I hope for years. What is all these songs? You have said this enough. You'll be tired of all the extra acrobatic tastes. I said look, pray that one day you marry and then you you can even look at you say Bishop said it to acrobatics is what we are doing. We are doing acrobatics, switching. Look, when people have said they sweat, sometimes you see that they are sweating. They have even calories that you can move to. Calories, Calories. Look, when you are going to bear food for God, you see that you are losing calories. Yeah, you are going here, Going here. I remember when Bishop Eddie was here starting this church, I mean he knew every Rd. in in New York area. He was, he drove into, he had the Hyundai, he drove everywhere. One day I came, he was taken. So when he passes on this bridge, he will not pay at all. And then he can pass here. And then this one, this he knew everywhere he drive in the snow, pick somebody from here. Come back in the there's a Blizzard park on the roadside. Go here. Pick this one. Two people from Trenton, another person from here. Come to the tunnel, Go here. Oh, for the change. I mean, you wonder what is this person? Is he a cab driver? I mean, what is he? That is how. The activity to produce a tete is so extreme, so you don't wonder what is the relationship between this and producing. And that's why sometimes when people are older and they are just trying to have be pregnant and the doctor will tell them have sex on this, they have sex on this many times it doesn't work because when they they go, then they they are looking at each other and. Say, OK, we are supposed to do something now. See, we are supposed to do something now. It's not easy. Oh, there's no there's no feeling, there's no happiness. There's no mission. Oh, these are the hidden reasons why there is no fruits. Yeah. Because you see, that's why I'm saying that you may not want to accept it, but maybe you, you, you may, you may, you may have become older than certain things, maybe even to just move from one state to another. You are older. Than that, I don't know if there's anything like that, but maybe you are or maybe you don't want to accept that. Charlie, how can I be too old to? Move from one state to another at this age. Am I? Am I dead? I mean, is my life. Over. It cannot be, you know. That's why for me, I I feel that. How can I be too old at my age? How am I older than certain things? It's not possible. That's why I do certain things. I say I'm not too old. Hey, I can do it. I can do this. I can go here. I can do this. When I can't do it, I will know that I can't do it. But I sat now, by the grace of God, I can do it. Yeah. I'm hidden inside us. We dishonestly don't want to accept that we have actually passed away from the things that young people do. Excitement, activity. The next one is energy. It's energy, you see that you don't feel like moving. Energium, Sally. You need. Force. And energy. Yeah, for the activities. See, maybe your energy levels have gone down, but you don't want to accept it. Yeah. A certain lady, she married a certain man, but this certain man was much older than her. Yeah. Yeah, so, but you see at a certain age you. Look. Almost like the same age. You can be 20 years older than somebody, but you look like you are the same age. But there are hidden things which are not the same. And as you get older, you get it. You start to see the difference. So. So where's your husband? He's asleep. Oh. Yeah, he doesn't want to go out. He doesn't want to go out. He doesn't want to do anything. You will not know that you you look similar, that there's actually an inner difference. So you want to go out, You want to move around and say, oh, honey, are you going out? 8:00 eight. You're going out at 8:00 eight o'clock. I need to sleep. I wake up in the morning to listen to my radio. I want to listen to wild news in the morning. BBC. There's no energy. They are now going out at this time. Why so the preaching has even started at 8:00. Oh, I'm. Feeling tired? Where'd you sleep? And I see that they are sleeping. Yeah. You see, there is some type of sleep that comes because of your age. Yeah. When I was when I was in university. I used to sleep in the evening. I mean like when I well, I don't know when there were unbelievers around. I used to visit my lovers. When people come, I just start to feel sleepy. I don't know whether they are boring to me. I used to say I've not been to disco before, so I don't know how to stay awake. But I was an interest in what they are doing. But there is another type of sleep from. Either your work if you work in the mantri with a lot of formalin before I realize you are always sleeping. I've noticed about people who work in the Mantri that they are. Always asleep or if you are older you see that by 8:00 sleeper started to come. Sometimes I watch films with my my daughter then. Daddy, you slept, you slept, you slept throughout the whole. Jeopardy. I was arguing with her. I said because there was a film. You know, there's a there's a very good film for a pastor to watch. It's called Taking. I'm sure you have watched it before here. It shows how you must react when they take one of your members. Taking one and taking 2. And I was. I was arguing with my my daughter. She said we have washed it. I said I've never washed it. So we washed it, but you slept. We washed it, but you slept. At the beginning of the film, you slept. And she, she sat there watching the whole thing. I was sleeping for her. The old man is sleeping. Yeah, the one has energy watching the thing. Look, this is the reality when it. Comes to a certain point, you see that the energy that a young person has to do certain things, you, you, you stop having it. And that's why I'm saying to the, to the pastors, don't let your young people become old and like you tell them, my friend, you cannot live and die here. You can preach as well as I do. People can preach. Oh, people can preach. No, you guys, you are one preachers. Oh, and I don't have the opportunity to, to, to listen to you preach, but I know the symptoms that I have. That's what I used to know. Many of you are very, very good preachers. Very good. In fact, your it's a pity that maybe sometimes your you have not traveled much to see the kind of calling that you have in you. Oh, yeah, it's true. You know, that's why you need to keep moving. Sometimes when you don't move, you think you are you don't have a good ministry. Now you have very good preachers. I'm quite sure of that. Oh, yeah. Privacy. I just have sentence, you know, because of my position, I use sentence more than anything else. Signs, Simpsons signs like that. And I know things from that. Yeah, glimpses are enough to tell me what is going on. Yeah, you have. Very, very good preachers and the children under you, you'll be surprised when they start to talk. You'll survive. They're explaining it better, giving some windows and some example. Wow, these guys can preach. They can preach. Look the Kodesh. I left the Kodesh for Bishop Saki and the other pastors there. It has. Grown. Bigger than when I was the one there. Bigger, bigger, bigger. You see, you are not the only one who can preach. Thank God they respect you that even allow you to still preach, you know what I'm saying? That they're not the only one who can preach. These other people can preach, and they can preach well. Pastor Eddie Faber, he started a service, small service in the, in the, in the Chapel on the side. Turning Point, ServiceNow. The whole of the Jesus Cathedral is full. They have. Yeah. Early in the morning, first day in the morning, Turning Point, the whole place is full. Yeah. I have never. I've never been there before. They keep inviting me that as you'll come. I'll come. One day. I'll come then another because I started a radio praying for people and he had started a prayer service in the morning. Now the whole of the cathedral is also full with that prayer from radio. They call them, they are not even members of the state. Just come for prayers. He gathers all of them by talking on the radio. You people can do things. They are under you with blankets under you. Say you are not in. Shut up. I'm here. I'm, I'm the Lord of Lords and the king of kings. You are not a Lord of Lords of anybody and a king of kings. There must be missions, there must be energy, there must be excitement, there must be Ming share, there must be youthfulness, there must be activities. There must be. This is our. Anniversary. And for our anniversary we are saying shame on ourselves. We couldn't feel the whole of America in 20 years. We couldn't fail yes and I'm I'm I'm watching do it. Ah, I look forward to having a. Camp in every place. This Sandy covenant Chicago is past. We are going to other centres. Me share in the church. Wow. Are you ready to do the will of the Lord? Are you ready to do the will of the Lord? Wow, the next one. Repetition, Repetition. Repetition. Yeah, I'll call you. Wow. Are you excited? Glory to God. What did I say? Repetition. Yeah, You see. Repetition is 1. Repetition is doing the same thing over and over and over and over again. Rarely can you have a child by having sex once. You ask anybody who has two children, how many times did you have said before you had two children? Hey. Ask any ask. Find anybody who has one or two to ask how many times. Wow. Now listen, it's the same thing. These are all hidden things, you see, It's not easy to bring. Them out this. Is the example that we are giving. It looks a bit funny, you know, But it's like, that's the truth. That's the reality. There's a lot of repeated activity of the same thing. Repeated camps, repeated prayer meetings, repeated effort to start a church, repeated crusades, repeated church services, repeated discussion, repeated visit, repeated talking of the same thing. That's why I'm repeating. I'm not preaching a new topic. You can eventually tell me what I should preach, what I'm going to preach today. You know everything I keep repeating. I'm saying mission, this guy said. I preached mission in Kumasi in 1999. Without repeated activity, you cannot have a job. Yeah, you meet people, you know. So we had sex once, the doctor will tell you. Those of us who have done fertility you have to people have been known to be pregnant on every day of the cycle. From day one to 28, pregnancy has occurred, including in the period Yes, for fact, every day it has. They've had experiments, it's shown that they've had they may be pregnant on every day. So they will tell you it must at least every other day continuous. You can't just start whatever. And also when you don't have often the sperms they chain, they are sluggish. I'm going to be coming to the seeds soon. They are lazy. Yeah. They are not used to being ejected. They are used to resting. Yeah. Are you listening to me? That is why it is good. That's why. That's why you see that's. Why? I was surprised. Why is Nataline? Nataline? Where's Nataline? She's not here. Children's Church. She just stepped down. That's why, That's why, that's why I'm asking about the commandos, because I know them from years ago. And I, I, because I, if you've been around and have repeated doses, I'm surprised you're not pregnant. I'm surprised there's no fruit. Because you have repeated, repeated input from the camp after camp after camp. I'm surprised. I'm surprised we've had repeated imputations. Activities, energy, impartation, and still there's nothing out. Of you. Wow, it's a surprise. So I'm telling you, repetition is very important. Amen. Wow. Number. All these are hidden things, you know. So excuse me when you. See somebody coming out with a pregnancy? He's been doing all these hidden things, Yeah. The next one, lack of many seeds. Like when you don't have a lot of the word of God in you, how you don't receive many seeds. That is why when you receive a lot of seeds, isn't it a lot of seed? You are likely. To come so so pastors. You would have wanted your children to listen to me preaching seldom Listen to Bishop preaching, listen to the machiner, listen to the camp, not just to listen to yourself because it is medicine you see if. Your spam count number of sperms in one mil is less than 40 million, usually 40. Usually you don't get pregnant. Yeah, usually you don't get pregnant. From experience you can have 20,000,005 mil. Think about it, you need only one single one, not 1,000,000 and you can have 1000 spams, 100,000 spams 1,000,000. It doesn't get pregnant. It's like a lot are needed. Are you with me in order to get to just one pregnancy? That is why people who listen, you just meet somebody who listens to the word, often listens to the McKenna, you see that they become fruitful. It's almost automatic. Any woman whose vagina is loaded with sperms upon sperms. Loading, loading, loading, loading, loading, loading, loading, loading. Am I saying something wrong I? Don't know what happened. Am I saying something wrong? It's not said in America like that or what. Seeds. Millions of seeds. Yeah, millions of seeds. That's why you must listen. You must read the books. People who are reading the books, they will be fruitful. Yeah. I meet people who are not a lighthouse. And they they, they one pastor was talking to one of our pastors who was saying that if this is the only thing I came to the world to do or to teach my lawyers, I don't know the effect that it has had. Yeah, they are powerful seeds. I know people who have built churches reading Mega Church. One pastor, he said, look, the only book I had is Mega Church. I didn't know, he said, I didn't know you had written any other book. I thought you had only written one book. The mega chest, the Kenyan and that is all that I've had, he said. I've used it to start a chest in my sitting room and his chest have more. People than the people that are here on Sunday morning. You also know somebody like that. Show him the microphone. You see seeds. People who receive seeds, their lives are affected. There is a pastor in Swaziland, Scott Apostle Jethro, Yeah, I mean Bishopsaki preaching his church last year December and we were all there. I mean, he had a big, a big program, I mean a big church. And he kept talking about Mecha Church. I mean when you say. The church is too. Powerful. It's Mecha church. It's the book Mecha Church. I mean, he has a big picture of the Bishop in his office when you enter. I mean, and he was telling us that as soon as he enters the office, he just say, oh, made a Bishop smile on this ministry. Yeah. I mean, it has affected him so much. And the church is big. In a town. Not a city. And he has a big church and he's always talking about Mecca Church. He just got a book Mecca Church and that was. It they don't know that there's another book. Yeah. We are writing exams, yeah. And there's a big church in Mozambique, I mean, the biggest church. I introduced Bishop's books to him about seven years ago. And after some time, I mean, when I gave him the books, initially he didn't know what I had given to him. So later I went and visited him and he was telling me of a problem. And I said, oh that problem you are talking about is in one of the books I gave you because his assistant pastor, his main assistant pastor had aurangulized and told him that in salesman I will show you what is church group. I said this one. Is in a book, so I showed him the page of the book he read What? Then from that. Day. He fell in love with the books. He read the books to that. I'm talking to you. He has about 13,000 members on, on a Sunday service two years ago he said I need to come and see the Bishop. So he flew all the way from Mozambique, came for ISI. And when he met Bishop, he knelt down and thanked him. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's fantastic, fantastic. Amazing. So you see seat, seat seed, people who get the seed soak in the seed, they are blessed. The next one is the lack of a strong seed. David has also Zambia David. So the next one is lack of a strong seed. Strong word makes you fruitful, yes? You sure we have some new prophets in Jamaica that got one of your books? Mega Church, and they've built great churches. And I remember when Bishop Joel came to Jamaica, we went to a place to have a meal and we're just there and we're just waiting to pay our bill. And then the waiter came and said, oh, somebody has sorted it out already for you. So we were wondering who it was, and then we realized that it was this guy. And then he came to see as I said, man, I wouldn't have had a ministry if it wasn't Bishop's books. And remember this week he sent me a message said that man of God, I thank God for the loyalty message God has given to your Bishop to carry. I would not have a ministry after last year, but thanks be to God, the steps were jammed last Thursday just for Bible study. Powerful. His church was overflowing. The steps were jammed. Wow, seeds. So don't sit down and let outsiders come and benefit you. Outsiders are benefiting from the church, I tell you. They admire the church. Yeah, one pastor said to me. Look. He said if I was to come, he has his own church. He said if I was to join any church today, I would join Lighthouse. Then he said, because there is Misha in the church. Misha, OK. Is that end in it? Mishi. This looks like Mishi. There's Mishi that we need our own African alphabet #7 number. A strong seed. He needs strong messages. Do you know that it's strong. You see, if you listen to Sunday preaching and you listen to Makani preaching, you see that the Makani preaching is different. What's the difference? It's stronger, isn't it? It's stronger because I hear I'm telling you shame on you. Uh huh. Over in the over church. I will be encouraging them always, but here I will tell you shame you didn't do well 20 years anniversary. Look at. Where we are. I've been saying, I'm sending, I'm telling you the plain realities Sunday People, We encourage them, you know, gradually everything's going to be OK. God is with you, you know. Things are all right. God is helping us one by one, slowly. So without a strong word, that's why I said to you pastors, don't be afraid of the. Machaner, one guy said to me. I asked him, Have you been listening to the machan? I said no, no, no at all. I said well, I said Oh no, no, no, no. I'm afraid of that, he said. If I listen to that thing, I cannot continue my career. Listen, I listen to that thing. I cannot continue my career. It's a strong seed. I listen to that and I cannot continue my career. He said. I mean, he's the first person who have ever told me. He said play at all. I don't. Listen to nothing, I said listen. I said no, no, no, I cannot listen to this. When I listen. To this I cannot continue my career. Let's see. Amen now #8 lack of a good receiving attitude, good receiver ground. Now, I'm sorry to use these examples, but you see if you're. Vagina is acidic, full of acids when the sperm gets. It will be killed because of the sharp acids that is killing the sperms, no matter the sperm that comes in the It's a suicidal mission. To enter the acidic atmosphere of you. That is why around the time of ovulation, the mucus that is produced in the changes and the pH changes and becomes less acidic, but the acid also helps. To kill infections and bacteria and certain things to keep it down, but. When it's time to receive the stems, I say no, no, no. Change the atmosphere flow. My attitude has changed. As soon as I hear your voice, my attitude changes. I become open. I flow. I change when I when I hear the word once it's the word of God, it's like I soften. I just relax. I just change. But when it's not the word of God, I'm ascetic. And some of you, you. Brought that ascetic spirit to the church. When the when the Word is coming, it's like you have an asset to pour on the tail. How can the word of God prosper if I tell you to go out and reach the World and you tell me that I'm preaching against honest work? I'm. Trying to spoil. Your career as those who have traveled and gone to start churches, whether have spoiled their careers even in America here has this spoiled your career by going? Has it not even rather improved your career in your marriages? Charlie, do you know how people divorce in America? Huh. Do you know how people divorce in America? One friend of mine told me said if I had not come to America, I would not be. Divorced because I came to America. That's why I'm divorced. Oh, we have divorced here. We have this type of speak your mind, a right human right, so many things. Even your children would have become. Homosexual, if it was not for the church, your child just has to play, maybe wear a wig one day or like, as if they're playing boys and girls or they're doing something normal. Just. Oh, you are a girl. You are a girl. Yeah. And before you realize, it's like Charlie, before you realize, you see that you have turned into a woman. So you better thank the Lord. You know, these are the hidden things that we often are not honest about, that actually we have an aesthetic environment. Into which the words are coming into and it's killing them with sarcastic, sarcastic killer comments, sarcastic killer words and killer ideas. My goodness, neutralizing the power of the way that is coming. But Kelly counteracted with torments and words are saying, whoa, this one, this, this and that. Hey, acidic attitudes, my God, my God #9. The presence of antagonistic people and elements hinder your fruitfulness. Antagonistic. Some have antagonistic antibodies around the cervix. So when the sperm comes, apart from the acid that is waiting for them, there are antibodies. Antibodies, which are supposed to fight infection, are fighting the Word of God as if the Word of God is an infection. Yes. Do you? Understand antibodies. Have you heard of antibodies? You know when you are given an immunization jab? You, you, you, you. It is to stir up your body to produce antibodies. So when you when you come to Africa and you are bitten by mosquitoes, you, if you've been there for some time, you already have antibodies against the malaria infection or any infection for that matter. You get it. And unfortunately, some people don't get pregnant because the woman has antibodies around her cervix, around the womb. That treats them in a bad way when they come. When the sun. Comes out I'm coming for a possible pregnancy and they said no it's an infection kill him fuck Oh no no it's an infection kill him kill him kill him and the rice and they kill the the stems and the stems cannot go beyond a certain point wow I'm telling. You. Some of you. I tell you, you have antibodies to my messages. I see. When you hear it again and again, and you resist and you develop more antibodies, mercy, strong responses. Yeah, You become more and more resistant. Yeah. These are the reasons why fruitfulness doesn't happen because sometimes it you've developed a strong response, even even fundraising, certain people come, they've got antibodies to the fundraising, acidic this thing for the fundraising, acid for the fundraising and then antibodies. Are waiting is that if they say this I will give this I'll pour this on it. Wow, these are the Paul said, look media, I renounce all the hidden things that will not let me do well in the ministry. I renounce all of them. Yeah, I just cancel all of them because it was this is how go to verse one. It says in 2nd Corinthians 4. Verse one it says, therefore, seeing we have this ministry, God has given us a wonderful ministry as we have received mercy, we we are not fainting and you see the semi colon. This thing is called semi colon. Let me show you go back. This thing is semi colon. This one semi colon, which which which which means which means that's what it means. Let me explain. How I've received this ministry and my I'm flowing with the ministry. How did I do that? Then it, it, it goes on. I'm not fainting. How how come I'm not fainting? He says. I've renounced hidden things. That deception does not allow me to often come out with dishonesty. We we rarely. Accept that we have antibodies to the Word of God. We rarely we, you know when you listen. To somebody for some time, you can develop antibodies. Yeah, I remember. I don't know whether I should. I should give that an example. But you will notice sometimes you listen to somebody at a point that when you listen to a person, you are not being blessed. Sometimes you realize that you've developed antibodies. Yeah. And then at a point when you listen, you start to be blessed again and sometimes realize that the immunity has gone down so you are able to receive again. It's true. Even even even. On a Sunday, you know, recently I came to preach at the Kadesh about watch and pray. They were very receptive. They were very happy to have me. You see, their immunity had gone down, the antibodies were reduced. When you are used to a past one day I preach. I preach at the cathedral. It was the Sunday morning and after an American man who was visiting came up to talk to Bishop Sake and said to him, you know, if this was in America, nobody would sit down to listen to this powerful man. I was preaching about DVD success. He said it is awesome, fantastic. We were surprised, awesome and fantastic. Everybody looking at you as if you are preaching to a cow. It's an amazing revelation what this, what this man is preaching. It's fantastic. If we were in America, people would not be sitting down. That's the people are sitting down. You know what you have. Yeah, you know, the people have developed antibodies. The most powerful HIV that is coming, you've got an antibody for you. Smallpox. You can be a killer. That we've got antibodies for you. Whatever you come, we have something to just neutralize and we'll be watching that. Most of your Czech payments have antibodies. That is why you should let some of the other people preach. When younger people let them preach, they said when you come again, you see that they will be. I'm going to start another church. When? I went to start the First Lab church. You see how the Kodesh would say hey, one day I was meeting with some first. One of my members came in from the Kodesh. He came to. I was surrounded by these young First Lab people. She came and said, you are the people who have stolen our Bishop. You are the people that have stolen our Bishop. And it almost became a fight. I said look, please, please, yeah. You see, they don't know. They don't know how. Powerful. Your messages are the day that you step away and they say ha. It was good. I had to meet so many times. I preached in my own church, and I look at these people who don't appreciate me sometimes when I go outside the church and I preach the response. Yeah. 11 What do you call it that I went to preach in Korea. I preached prayer. They have invited me for crusades in Korea, Korean. I paid you 20 minutes per you were there. They have invited me to come to Korea for crusades. They said please. Come see, it was so powerful. Yeah, it's because some of you have developed antibodies apart from the acid. Acid and antibodies, Yeah, combination. This is why people don't get pregnant. You pour. 70 million sperms into acid and the acid will say no problem coagulation. We are just kill them all now kill them all and the acidic members will be standing there. Have you killed yourself? We have killed all on the left, all on the right, all the left. There are some 3 left that have got antibodies that do they kill them finish. No way for this word. Hey, no way for this message. Wow, is it not amazing. OK, the next one, number 10, poor timing. Poor timing kills. Fruitfulness. Yeah, poor timing. Look at the time that you are coming. You see to bear fruit, huh? Poor timing. You have come on day six, Then you should have come later. Day 1314. You come on Day 27, it's late. Now. It's late time for this sea to to to work. Even if you get through the acid and you get through the antibodies, it's 20 stage 27. You are two weeks late. Young people, don't wait till it's too late. Oh pastors, don't let your children pass a certain stage. Where they cannot do much for God. The youngest, freshest, beautiful, handsome, nicest. They are the best intelligence. When a person is intelligent for school, he's also intelligent for ministry. Don't say my child. Don't listen. Don't say my child is. Too. Good for ministry. My son has first class in England university first class, not second, not an African first class, 1st class in law first. First of all, you can't even get the law and in the. Law he had first class. Yeah, First class shop. Yeah, straight. Yeah. If you know what is first class, whenever those of you who have been to university, you know what? It's what it's about, Yeah. And it's. Ministry. They are pastors. This is all. It's too clever for the church, you know. It's too clever for meaning. What do you? Mean by that, when the Bible says in the song that we sing the cross, the dearest and the best, what is that song on a hill far away? And then what does it say? Stood an old rugged cross? The emblem of suffering and shame Where the D where the what? Where the what? The dearest and the best? The best in school, The dearest of the children for a world of sinners. Was. Slain. You see, Jesus is not the only person called. Son of God. And some people believe he is not the only son of God. The Bible says the sons of God came into thee women. Yeah, Bible says. And the sons of God gathered where the Lord was, and the devil also came there. Yeah. But Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. He's the dearest and the best. He is the one who was given for us. God gave everything. That's why He also tells us, give yourself holy. Don't hold back. Don't hold back a world of sinners, wicked people. And you wouldn't give yourself to Los Angeles? From New York. To Los Angeles. You can't do it from Atlanta to LA or San Jose. You cannot do it. From from New York to. Hawaii the same. America, your submarine has come. Your epilepsy has come. Your high fever has come. Your acid has come. Your antibodies have come. Why? This is the reason why a person cannot have. Look, I have practiced medicine and I've practiced being a doctor. All these things, I'm saying I know them first hand. Yeah, This is why people don't get pregnant. It's not, it's not one thing. And most of the things are hidden. You can't see when a person comes. Everything looks normal. There's a lot of things. May God touch your heart, I beg you, May God touch you. Renounce all hidden things that are keeping you in barrenness and emptiness and fruitlessness. In Jesus name Amen. Wrong time name. Amen. Wrong positioning? Yeah, wrong positioning. That's why some of you are not very much fruit. Wrong positioning, like the wrong place, or you've positioned yourself in the wrong. Way. Yeah, you have to. Change your position. Because we have two types of wombs. Well, not two types, but the womb is. You see if, if, if, if a woman is lying down like this, someone is lying down here. You get it. The womb is like this. Let's see my hand here like this. The womb is pointed down like this. This is a normal or is one of the positions there. So when you when the sperm comes in, it comes to lie here below this and then it climbs up like this. Did you see this? I didn't see I should show it like this. If the woman is lying down flat like this, the womb is like like this. Inside your body or down here it's like this. So when the sperms come, they come in, they are deposited here, down here. Then it climbs up and goes. So this is, this is the normal. Did you see it? For some people, there won't be like this, this call retroverted. So when the sperm come here, it goes to the back. It now has to climb up here. It's very far for them. This is very far for them. It's like going to San Francisco. It's very far. Yeah, it has to climb up like this and come back and now enter. You understand? And some of them, they just can't climb hills. They can't climb hills. Yeah, they are not. They are not. Into mountain climbing? Yeah, they are not into mountain climbing. Are you understanding? So if you are your womb is like this, then it means you should turn around. When you turn around then the wombat was like this, would turn around like this into a new position and now the stems will not have to do mountain climbing. Wow. Yes, yes, yeah. So some of you, it's just the positioning where you position yourself. You position yourself in a town where you cannot bear fruits, and then you have to humble yourself and go to another place where you can position yourself another way. And then you realize that you are moving. The stamps will be flowing, the old, and then you see that now the messages that come from them, but they are flowing. I mean, people are blessed. People are deceiving. And position yourself in a way that. Based. On where you are placed, Yeah, you know, you see that. You can go into somebody's bedroom and you can, if you know what you're talking about, based on how you position yourself, you will not be pregnant. Yeah, it's too far for the sperm. Ladies. This sperm is counting the streets. Alps, it's climbing mountain cannot climb it. Yeah, so when you. Reposition yourself sometimes reposition in another state, reposition in another country. Reposition you suddenly is he not the same person? But you see, once you replace your reposition yourself and somebody may laugh at you and say, what is this position? Are you a dog? Are you a cat? Are you Be humble. Humble. It takes humility to be positioned properly. It takes humility to be positioned properly. If you are not humble, you cannot have a child. A child is not born from the mouth, it's born from another. Place. Yeah. It takes humility. Yeah. Positioning. These are the hidden things. All this is going on in the house. It's all hidden. Nobody knows what you are doing. You will never know. You'll never know. You'll never know the acid that is in your your spiritual vagina, the antibodies that are antagonistic to the message, antagonistic to, I mean, if I'm preaching people are happy, then you say, oh, these people are young and easily impressionable. It's an antibody. It's an acid. It's putting the acid on the web. So Charlie, look to, to, to, to, to bear fruits. You have to give yourself all out. When they say stoop, you stoop, say stand, you stand lie. You lie. Change your style. You change your style. I promise, if you do it, you give yourself all out. 8. Number 12 Lack of nakedness. Lack of nakedness? Yeah. Lack of nakedness. How can you bath? How can you bath with genes? How can you bear fruit with jeans? You cannot with a belt. You see, many of us are not bare. Our lives are covered. I read that. Come to me. I'll show you. I'll show you a secret. Is this a typical person? She's just like me. She's showing us only three things. Only her face, this one and this one, the rest is covered. How can she bear fruit? There must be more to see. Hey. There must be more to see. You can just show us your face and just one little part of your head. We can't. We can't even see the arms. Just this one little and this one little and then this, the face finish. The rest is absolutely covered. Do you think? She can bear fruits. No, that's why openness. Be yourself. Is it too bearful? You have to be yourself. You come and say just as I am, and you come, This is how I am. This is. How I am yeah, with your faults and your funny. Look, many of you when you take off your clothes, you realize that your shape has changed. My God, My God, my God, my God. Yeah, you realise that, Charlie? Your shape is different. You look different. A certain brother, when he got married, I was discussing with him after how how was. It and so he said. When I saw hair and I saw the breasts, he said I just didn't want to think about it again. I said I. Decided I would not. I would not concentrate on that again. I decided not to think about it again. Yeah, those are the reasons why we keep ourselves covered. But you have to somehow almost disgrace yourself to bare fruits. Yeah, you don't have to be actually. You stand with the three people in your church and you say glory to God. Glory to God, we are so excited you did not this year anniversary you will be celebrating five years anniversary with 20 people. So we are having our anniversary. This our anniversary, 20 of us is our anniversary. We are we are celebrating our anniversary. Hey, no shame, no shame. You can't be ashamed when you want to bear fruit. Let's have a look. This what I've been preaching. I've been praying. I've been doing my best 25 years. We are 20. It's a blessed blessing. It's no shame. You cannot be. You cannot be intimidated. All the things that. People laugh at you about you have to say, look, I don't care. OK, if your. Stomach. Is very big. Yeah, see that now, Charlie? Things have changed. Oh, there's a reason. Somebody was saying that the stomach is there, so it's using music for fatherly cushions. Fatherly hugs. Wow. All these are hidden. Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. How many points do you have? 13, Lack of openness. You may be naked, but you'll not open up. Yeah. A certain lady, she had been married for so many years and her husband died. And after her husband died five years later, somebody came and said, I want to marry you. And then she was telling her fellow widows she had a group of widows and they had been meeting in a widow's fellowship. You know, not official widows, but they were all widows. And she was telling us, look at this man. He said I should marry him. How? He said my husband was sick for five years before he died. I was nursing him. Do you think I can go and be a nurse again at this my age? This is Anne. Moreover, this open and close business, I've even forgotten how to do it. You see, she has an experienced wife. Fruit. Bearer with children abroad was saying that it is an open and close business. Open up close. Open up. That's a summary of a grown up. Yeah, young people will not call it that. But an experienced fruit bearer would say, look, it's about opening up. And if you are pastors, you realize that it's when you are open to me. That's when you bore fruits. You are open when I preach. You believe it's a Bishop. When you close up, you stop bearing fruit. You may have without acid without, but you don't go open up. No, no receipt. So that's why I said. Open and close. I've forgotten how to do it. She doesn't even call sex love making love. You say no. Open and close. It's a hidden thing, fruitfulness. It's a very complex thing, you know. There are so many things that make us fruitful and finally giving yourself. Holy. Yeah, you see, when you give yourself holy, you see that you are now able to. Flow One. 100% and without doing that you cannot bear fruit. It summarizes everything. Give your whole body your whole self. When you go to give birth, your whole body gives gives birth. You can't say I'll send somebody to give birth for me and I'll come, I'll come later. You have to give yourself holy to whatever. You're going to do so giving yourself partially, partly. We're not going to let you bear fruit. How many are going to renounce all these hidden? Pains. So you see, what you have had is what we call is gynaecology. It's fertility classes. Yeah. Fertility classes. You have fertility lecture. Yeah. Huh. Yeah. How you actually have physical babies? There must be babies, there must be missions, there must be fruits and I see it coming. In Jesus name, Amen. Hallelujah.
