Into that sea a forgetfulness sorrow, 'cause these from the West. 70 * 7 You forgive and leave. You keep planting me, cleansing my sin into the sea of forgetfulness, cleansing my sea into the sea. Soul winning, How many do you have? Only 6 of 100. Number seven. You must be a soul winner because soul winning prevents church splits. If we win souls, our problems will be to do with the church, Amen. Our problems will have to do with splitting up the church, Amen. Are you there so God will help us? God is going to bless us as we win souls. Amen. Church splits will be prevented. How will you want the church to split? You know, the devil is always ready to fight us, that is ready to divide. But as we keep on reaching out, you know, there's so many problems to do with the reaching out. So you don't have time to notice my faults or his faults or your pastor's fault. If your pastor is preaching and he's preaching not a good message, good enough for your standards. Since you have also now gone out so winning and you are preaching yourself, you get it. You can now preach that good message that you were thinking that your pastor is not preaching. What do you think? Is it not a powerful idea? So when you start preaching and then people are not clapping for you and people are now annoyed with your message and they say you are not mature and they say your message is like this. They say you scream too much. They say you don't use enough vases. One, one day one of my pastors was preaching. He just got up and said no, there are no vases in the preaching. He was he was surprised that somebody could stand up and say where are the verses in your preaching? Let there be verses in your preaching. From today when you start to experience that you will appreciate your pastors preaching. You will not feel like splitting. God will raise up in Orangus to deal with you. So you not feel like being an Orangu because you'll be struggling with your own. What do you think when you are struggling with 20 members and it cannot grow and you see that I have got 20 churches, you have 20 members. Then you realize that even though I have my faults, it may be better for you to concentrate on your faults, which seem to be so many that your church cannot grow beyond twenty members. Not churches. Yeah, almost all the person, when I send them out, they love me more. They appreciate, they appreciate me more. Those who have not been sent, they don't appreciate me so much. Those who have suffered, they realize that. What have you been through? What have you survived? Hey, is it not true? Is it not true? Yeah. It is good to win souls, it makes you fresh all the time. It makes you fight the devil at his gate so he doesn't come inside. Whenever they are playing soccer and your side, they are playing around your goal posts. Are you not nervous? When Ghana was playing with Nigeria and we scored them one nil at the end of the match, they were playing around our goal posts and at that time, I don't know where I was. I was doing something I was not. I couldn't watch it when Bishop Saki was watching it. Was it that much or another match? So I'll call him and he would tell me the people, the people are around that the people. I could feel the treasures, what is happening, what is happening, what is happening. He was telling me what was happening and I was not there. But I was so tense because we are scored and we were just about to we, we didn't want anything bad to happen to us because if Nigeria has called it, we are going extra time. So the tension is so much when the battle is around your treasure spots, there shouldn't be battles around your main members and your treasures in the church. Let us go to the treasures of the enemy, his lost souls whom he has captured, and let us be fighting in that area. That's where we should fight, not be in the church. We wonder, why do you do this, this, that, that? Where do you come from? Where do I come from? Why are you distressing? It doesn't matter. And the devil is always just looking for something to pick us on. One time I sent a pastor to go and start a church. He was pastoring the church. Then another pastor came to join him. We were all lighthouse pastors. And remember one day the other pastor came to say to me say, Bishop, this man, this man, that's the person who was there before he came. He's not like you. I said, oh, he says, don't like you, doesn't talk with us the way you talk with us and so on and this and that and you, so many complaints. I say, what kind of problem is this? Go and start a church and see whether you also do what? So he went to start a church for years. It's also not working. You see, when you go, you stop seeing my faults and it is seen a pastor's fault that bring up church splits. Anybody who splits away from church, usually his reason is the faults of the church and the faults of the pastor. And if you look carefully in every church, you will see big faults because the people who are preaching are not angels, they are human beings. No church is good or perfect. It's just trying to serve. Can I have an Amen? How many want to win? So. So that there will be no matches around our goal posts. Yeah. If you like, stay there. Every one of your treasures will be taken away. All the members you treasure, all of them will go. If you like, leave the church and come back after one year. Come back after two years. When you come, you know, recognize the people. If Pasa Cluvio stepped out of South Africa and comes back after a year, about two years, many other people, you know, people sort of move away and new people come. They will not even recognize him. You, you, you'll be amazed. So, and, and even if you stay here, it will be, they will be going and coming the same way. But because you are here, you will not notice it. And when you go and you come, you realize that, ah, all these people, where are they from? Who are they? Like most of you, have not had any camp with you for some time. I don't know most of you. You're all new looking as a person. Are you a new looking person? New generation? It's a new generation. Yeah. I wanted to see the new generation. That's why I wanted to see you. You get it? So that you become so witness. Wow. How many are going to be so witness? You have only 7 reasons I should be a soul winner. OK #8 OK, you must be a soul winner because soul winning generates divine support and protection. Amen. Soul winning generates divine protection and supports, Amen. Peter Taylor foresight, he said it is not our choice to spread the gospel or not, it is our death if we do not. It's not our choice, it is our death if we do not. Bible says there is joy in heaven over one Sinner than more than 99 just persons which need no repentance. So that means on Sunday mornings as we keep huddling together and doing our Christian activities, there's not as there's the joy comes when one Sinner is saved for the whole service. The angels are waiting for the altar call, and sometimes we don't do the altar call. So after a while the angels lose interest in the church because there are no altar calls. What do you think? Angels have been standing there waiting for the utter call. No utter call, no utter call, No utter call. Let's go to another church. That church makes us happy. The angels move away. Then you are left without protection. Hey, now, the demons look at you and say, wow, free meat. The Muslims call the white people when they're bombing them, they call them white meat. That's their code name for them. The white. No, the meat, fresh meat to eat the bombing, the bombas. I mean, not Muslims, the bombas. All right, God will bless you and protect you. Amen. I see God delivering you as you do the will of God #9 Soul winning must. You must be a soul winner because soul winning protects you from polishing the same coins over and over and over. Amen. Our churches are made-up of coins, which we are polishing, polishing, more polishing of the same coins. Can we take an offering, please? A small offering of only coins. Take out an offering. Do you have money? I don't want notes, just coins. Everybody take out an offering of coins. Let us pray. Father, thank you for this offering of coins in Jesus name, Amen. Ashes. Do you have baskets received? Just coins, Coins, coins. Do you know? Do you want to know what Mendel Taylor said? Do you know Mendel Taylor? I also don't know him, but you know what he said? How many want to know what he said? Do you really want to know what he said He said? Listen no, he said. The church must send or it will end. Send or end. The church must send or it will end. The Church must send or it will end. Oh Lord, there's just so much to be done. Oh Lord, so many souls to be 10. Lord, this world is falling apart. Dying for love from a broken heart. Oh here are my send me. Though there's really not that much I can do. What I have seemed so small, but I want to give it all to you. Oh Lord, You said the harvest is great for the Lord. Looks like the laborers are here. It's getting hard to Wander's land how we ignore your great commando. Here am I sent me. Though you said the ones you've chosen, I feel still my heart hears the call. I want to give it all to you. Oh, just to reach the ones nobody does. Give up my pride. Even working in the mud. I wanna be like those who spill the blood and gave it like water to you. Oh Lord, there's just so much to be done. Oh Lord. Hello, bring the offering to me. Well Lord, this world is falling apart, dying for love from a broken heart. Oh, here am I sent me. Though there's really not that much I can do. But I have seemed so small. I want to give it all to you. Yeah. Yeah, oh Lord, you said the harvest is great, but the Lord looks like the laborers of you. It's getting hard to understand how we ignore your great commando here. Reminds me though you said the ones you've chosen. I feel still my heart. Here is the call I want to give it. All to you. All right. I want somebody with a new handkerchief. You see the coins here? We are going to Polish it from today to day till Thursday. When we go, I want one volunteer. Come bring a duster or a handkerchief. Come. You sit on the floor here and you start when you are tired, you'll get somebody to come in. Just Polish for us. When you Polish 1, you put it to the side here like that. You Polish till we are going home on Thursday. Don't steal any. Check your pockets. Remove your shoes. Come and sit on the stage. Your work is to Polish. No, no. Put your shoes down on the side here. Come and sit on the floor. Yes, it take one by one it Polish. Oh, point the front, then the back. So this man is showing us you should Polish all. When you finish you Polish the same once again. Is that not what we are doing? We Polish all, then we Polish again, and we Polish again and we Polish again. But the Bible says either what woman having 10 pieces of silver, if she loses one piece, does not light a candle and sweep the house and sit diligently till she find it? And when she has found it, calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the peace which I had lost. Likewise I say unto you, There is joy in the presence of angels over one Sinner that repenteth. Rejoice with me, for I have found the peace which I had lost. Amen. So look at him, what he's doing. Is it necessary polishing this money till Thursday? This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
