The next one, number 10, be favourable this so that you can be in the ministry. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, if you want to work for the Lord and you want to be in the ministry, the number one quality you need. Is. Faithfulness is the number one thing. If. I know that you are going to become an Orango. I will never make you a pastor. I'm sure. The word orangu is soon going to get. Into the. How many are planning to? Be Orangus. Now do not become an Orango. Tell the devil, try another. Idea suggest. Maybe to become a sexy. Dancer or something? It's not possible. Try some other bad idea, but this one is. Have been. Immunized can't work. I will be faithful and. Not. Until I'm 40. Not until I'm 50. Not until I'm. 60 not until. I'm 17. Not until I am in midlife crisis. Not until there is a. Financial crisis. A lot. Of people are faithful until money becomes a problem. When they didn't have any financial problems, they were faithful. When they had financial problems, they became angry. And he stali Sediti. Yield. Not a temptation. Did you? Hear me. The company. Yield not the temptations when you are under financial. Pressure. Is one of the pressures of our worlds. I am always under financial pressure. All. The time. To. Do. Things in the. Church, So many things I'm doing. We. Have so many tech buildings that are suspended in the middle of where they are unable? No. Money to continue. Always receiving SOS messages from my missionaries. We need. This we need. A building. When I went to Guinea, I have I have two missionaries there. They have been. There for one year. And. They have 20. And when they when they take all their offering for the whole month. The Vist missis. From One Montier. They have about $100. And Isabella is. Simulistodoro and. Their support we are giving. Them is finished. My heart was broken. So I told them. We. Have to try and find something. A job? Try find something. In. Guinea. Yesterday in the night, I had the message that my team have been arrested near the border of Guinea Bissau as drug dealers. And. They wanted to. Seize their car, the healing Jesus car they. Wanted to. Take them in what machine? And about 30 minutes ago, they were. Released. Hallelujah. So As for pressure, there is pressure everywhere. But you don't have to. Let it. Destroy you. Mother's to win fight man fully onward heart passions are due. Look ever to Jesus and He will carry you through. Just ask. The Saviour to help you to come for strength and keep. You willing to? Wave you, he'll carry you through as the Saviour, As the Saviour as to where? You. Come first with them and keep you. He's willing. To. Make you and He will carry you through son.

Come on and ask the Savior to help you to come. 1. Was strengthened that keep you or at least willing to wait you and we will carry. You. For the Savior. To. Help you? Yes, it will come for strength and keep you. For life he's. Willing to wait? So when you are under financial pressure. Which? Is. Most of the time ask the. Saviour to help. Don't become, Don't fall into something negative because the pressure will go, because life is in. Season by the time the. The season changes, you see that you are falling during the back season, then a good season has come and then it's like you are only good for good. Seasons, Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. All right, the next one, how many do you have? 1. 10 Now I want us to move on to something else. To be faithful bulviernium. Etro, Fidel. Means to run well or to do. Well, as my child. Tell with me, Tell with me to Galatians chapter. 5 and it. Says. You did run well. Who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth? You did run well, so there is something called running well. So. You need to run well. When? You see? Somebody running at a certain pace. And in a. Certain way. You. Can see that there are certain things that are not on his mind. What's? The name America You can be arrested for driving slowly. After Obama. Yeah, you'll be arrested for driving slowly. And you? Can also. Be arrested for driving too. Fast, so there. Is. Something called driving properly. Is the same thing for our Christian life. You can run. Well, some. People are running. Too slow and. Some. People are running too. Fast. Some are. Running the wrong. And some are going in the. Opposite direction. You must have special permission to run in the opposite. Direction sometimes. In Ghana, when the police motorcade is leading us, in the country, when we are going for crusades. You have. To drive. In the opposite. You see? This. Car this way going full of cars, 3-4 lanes, 4 for miles and then the one who is leading us will just go to this side and go to the opposite, put on his light and go in the middle. Everybody. Will move to the. I. In Sierra Leone, in Freetown, the traffic is West than Ghana. We were driving on the opposite side with the national security and the police running in front with light on Pana Pana Pana. You go opposite and then you are going. Sierra Leone Freetown The Tami show Who's the property in? Revelations chapter 2, verse 14. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balaq to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel. No. You mean you know the pro tibia potamosa? Yes, Otiga term deja chis ochini of alama between ochi valaka vistiso Blasi is not Israeli. We should be de lubo distrovole. De la sarten shows Contra tua la de Jean attache la doctrine de balam Dion Senier a balac aton rampage of Israelite Porchin Mon de Vion sacrifice doll is to leave a le morality sexual. Amen. Now you will notice that Balam, it was a doctrine, a fixed a doctrine is like if you, if you teach a song, if you teach a teaching and you keep repeating it, it becomes a doctrine, like a set of standardised ideas. OK, now the Bible is telling us here that Balam taught Balak. There was a doctrine, a set plan that is repeated, you see, and that set plan was to was taught to Balak. It's the doctrine of Balaam that was taught to Balak. And what of that set repeated plan that was taught to Balak? It is the repeated repetitive plan of casting stones or stamina in front of running, doing well pastors and Christians. Satanic is one of the doctrine. It's not a doctrine of the Bible, it's a doctrine of demons. It's like they are taught. This is a standard way to deal with her pastor. Always just hurt him, make him proud to throw it in front of him. It's a standard. It's not a doctrine of the Bible. What is the doctrine of Balaam? It's a satanic and demonic doctrine. Yes, uchini valama Uchini doctrini valama ETA aprelloni nabor Chago Puccini Katrina Vucis Naji Valam Uchi Valaka at Uchenia Kaplan. Who met? Satanic in the Amen. Amen. So a doctrine is a repeat. Is it like if we teach loyalty, we teach it and teach it until loyalty becomes like a doctrine? But. It was not a doctrine before because it was repeated all the time. So this is one of the key things that prevent people. So what are the things that prevent people from running well and running faithfully? One of them is the constant stumbling blocks that are put in front of people. I. Amen. Now what? What is a stumbling block? So blazing. I turn with. Me to Matthew, chapter 18. Matthew. Now notice in verse 5, Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hung around his neck, and he was drowned in the depth of the sea. That is not a Moscow. Matthew sang Matthew Dizuite pardon Pato de verses sankasis a solitaire que on mono and putito enfront com cerisi macche mamen mesi caldeafe trebuchet answer de SE putti que cromwa. It was a mere political SUS pon de mulla a con le jete a front de la Mer. Amen. Now what is the stumbling block? The King James Bibles. I don't know what it says in the French, but it says that whosoever shall offend one of these, one of these little children offend all right. But the American Bible says war to the world because of stumbling blocks. The piston our non pivoted Pangdiska ish doctor Soublazni Victor Abidit Adnawais Mali. May I see on verdoma version ET qui mesi kerchia feitrebuche who does Uno traversion SE martisti Kerchia may impier de Chou pomo and assault as a beautiful affair Dong tumbi. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Amen. Now you must realize that being offended is the number one the word offend or being heard it's exchanged with the word stumble. With vitamin Slova bit ambition bit run in him. And at the tsunami. Amen. So you realize that many, many people are offended all the time. It has motion, a panache from Munogi Lodi and you Pastejana Abiji. Don't forget the person. Wow, many, many people are offended all the time. And. You must. Watch out for being offended. He should be inhibited. Ambition. In Matthew 18, he continues to read from verse 23. It's all talking about stumbling, falling by unforgiveness, by bitterness. He was a three Tiwas ticard Marquis was Nasir la vie Tam soji rich idiot a soblazna gorishi E Ababida set the rate a better. Wear wear your shoes. Again, I just. 2 + 5 the problem the le France, the problem the trade Bishop if. I'm happy working with this girl. You see her? She's. A sheesh I am. Most concerned that one day she will not be offended. If I'm experienced, I'll. Know that maybe one day should be offended. I'm happy with him. You see, as she sleeps, I'm not. Seeing. With him. Bakshavik. We'll see. Today, Sivonia what? Am I? Just concerned about. Is that? As at all. He can be offended. So Moshe with. Her vision. And heads. That's all. I don't think you'll be. I don't. Go. To his house. I don't eat. His. Food. We were driving for some time, he said. Good morning. So everybody I'm with. This is. Just the only thing I'm just hoping that you. Be. And that's. The difference between. Apostle. And many of. Us here is. Not this. He. Wouldn't be. Hurt. Never. Heard. Sometimes I feel. So bad that's. What? That's a quality. That will. Help you to run well. Because. When a stumbling block is put in front of you and. Makes you even. Further, you just get up and continue. Now, the way that I know that Switzerland has a lot of evil spirits is by the offense prone nature of everybody here. Yeah. That's how I know about the presence of a lot of evil. Spirits. So many. Of the good people. You have. Have been. Tripping. Some people have bandages on them since four years ago. Mighty Foundations. Come. She wasn't here. This one had a. Meeting seriously. At the camp. 4. Years ago, she has not. Been able to listen to that camp. When I went. To. Nigeria, I saw they had some special police cars. They have written on it. Operation Fire. For Fire Nigeria. Is frightening. That you love and. That you are. You still like the person? Oh, I'm sure she's OK. She's OK. If she was OK, I will not call her after this. Session, yeah. It's it's it's. It's the I sent demons. How do you know there are a lot of demons? Like always, hate somebody. One day we had a church. Member in Geneva. It was her wedding she came to. Ghana. We did not know that it was her wedding. In Ghana. She so the. Choir and so on. Were. Not. At the wedding. Would not come to the. Church. I flew from Ghana. Houses in. Geneva. She never came back. To. Me. Family. She was so happy. I was surprised that she. Had anything good? To say. About us and. Moving out of a certain. Demon infested zone. So yesterday I asked you a question, but I don't think you. Understood. Is there? Any change? What have you seen in your life since you came to Geneva? He didn't. What I was? Asking. He answered it wrongly. In. The day he said something, I said yes. Have also come to his house. Because he mentioned something that once had said. He was. Not happy with. And. I thought about him as a. Person if he. Was in. Ghana. You never even but. You see? The question that I. Was asking was that have you noticed any change? You see, everybody who comes here must be conscious of this. Particular thing. Everybody is always offended about something or the other. You don't even know what you are, what you are even saying. I can preach here and somebody will be so angry with me after this camp. You'll be surprised. You ask us. So what am I batting about? So, yeah, we came to preach. He was letting a singer sing. She was just singing. Instead of preaching, she was just singing. Yes, I Prelonia, dear money, Factorius is not a better I. This is. The country where people have been offended with my clothes, with my shoes. In one day I was at a meeting, I almost took off my trousers to show them my underpants, that it was a cheap this 10 for 110 for one France or 12 for I wanted to show them that look, it's not an expensive thing right here, right here. This is a place. Is Frank. 10 for one 12. For 1:20. 24 1. OK. Yeah, yes. I did Switzerland. Selma or sweet? Selma or Sweet? It's fantastic. It's. I'm sure you did, you know. Fantastic. People are head offended by. Almost anything. You start. At 7:00 when you start 5 past 7, you know sometimes you get. When I was starting a. Church in. Zurich. I needed to get a rent a home near. Nada Bella cinema zal. The Louis, you know, Sal. So I there was a man who had a church. He was a Baker also, and he said we could meet him at 7:00 o'clock. He gave us a place. 7:00. When? I got there between 3:00, so 5 minutes past 7. Yeah, please. 3-3 minutes. Was smaller, he had. Drawn a map. On. You sense the bitterness. The courage. Wickedness. Europe. So when you come. Here. You must have another idea in your head that for being offended, this particular thing, because this is what happens to everybody who is here, this is yet another one because it's an offence that leads to whatever. The karate prejudice immediate process of should be a bit ambition I. Mean what? A bit ambition. That is, that is why I still relate with Bishop. Duncan Williams. He can't offend me. But in the. Palm of Francais. He can't. In the palm of Francais. I, I, I, I do not. There is no matter what he does and he has done many things that I could have easily been offended, I can't. I can't share. Many of them here, but whatever. You do. I will be here. When I. Employed somebody? I. Will get angry with you. Has always remembered. That. I have been in the church and been with Bishop for years. Not so close, although I have always honored him. Not so close, but recently then I became close. To him. After a. Long time he realized that I am not going. And when he went through his. Divorce, he realized. That I was still. Not going away. I'm a child, it's not my duty to comment on whatever. You are doing Recently I spoke. To him he. Was in Uganda, he said to me. I want my son to follow. You. I said I don't. Understand what you are saying. I want my son to follow, I want him to, I said. I said OK I don't understand but anyway I was there when I was going for a camp. He said his son is coming following me. I was. With his. Son in South Africa, in Port Elizabeth, who were standing by the beach, He said, look, my father, he calls him Papa, he calls me Daddy, he calls his father Papa. He said Papa called me and said go.
