06. Seven Deceptions About Full Time

Welcome to track number six of Why are You Not a Missionary? And there are 7 deceptions in my book rule. Do you have one of the books there? If I have I will give you seven wrong perceptions and all I mean wrong. They are not. True, they are not true. But he won't. He makes you believe. It till you die about full time ministry and one number one. So I'm giving you these seven. So the first deception of Chuko Liang, if you like, is that there is nothing important to do in full time ministry or even in ministry. Why should a doctor, a lawyer, the treasurer of a bank live their important careers only to work in such a place as a church? Do you know why? Why should you? That doesn't make sense. Do you understand? So the devil makes you think in it that there's nothing important to do for somebody like you, a nice person like you, huh. Somebody like you, there's nothing. There's no work. I asked somebody, one of our lay pastors, whether he would come and work in the ministry. And you know what he said to me? He said if there is something to do, I will come if there is something to do. Daniel, Can you believe that if there is something to do now how many are realizing that Chuko Liang sitting on the on the I was on top of the house on top of the gate can drive away an army. So let's say these are 300,000 full time people are coming through a deception. He there's nothing to do all the feeling and the soldiers were itchy, but. Sumani knew that this guy is Sumani knew that this guy, the deception is so wild. And he was. He was deceived. Twice he was deceived that he could be deceiving, that he was not deceiving. In this particular case he was, I mean, he was, he was defenseless. He was resting. He had come there to rest. So they throw up in the gates, hide in the houses, bring down your floods, the banners, everything, and go on top of the gate with his. Loot. I went to check the what is a loot this round guitar with a long whatever Yeah. And then took his pipe where his towers rope and challenged. 300,000 full time pastors run away for Sir Richard 300,000 full time pastors turned away, turned away. Turned away. That's the power of deception. They turned away from their their mission, their greatest victory, their great. It was in their grasp right there. They have everything they could ever have ever imagined. That would have been the end of the War of the Three Kingdoms. End time army were turned away. End Time army was turned away. 300,000 of them turned away, but just by looking at the guy they said no, this man, somebody who can send you instructions to go and fight somewhere it's not true and all the troops are going. It's not true. And it's still everything, instructions. They perceive it, the whole army moves only to find out that they they were not sent at all. So this is one of the great deceptions. Then allow you with me. That there is nothing important to do #2 that the ministry is not actually work. Do you see? That is why people who do I understand will ask you can I do it in the evening? Can I do your Internet work in the afternoon? Can I do it in the evening? Can I do it after work? Can I do it on Saturdays? Can I do OH? Can I? Can I come? To church Sunday afternoon. It's like the the mind that there's not actually work, you see. Like if it's really work, you have to come from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. But since there's not actually. Work to do? Can't we just do it in the evening? Can't we do it on Saturday? Can't we do it on Sunday after church? You understand? It's like it's. Not really. There's not really. Work to do. Maquila True. Is it true? It's not true. Where's Falcon? Is that work to do or there's no? Work to do. A lot of work to be done. I've got a Falcon and an eagle, yeah. It's like I'll do it afternoon on Sunday, Bishop. I'll be there 4:00. Tell your boss you'll be there at 4:00 on Sunday in the afternoon, you see? So there's there's that mind, you see. And how many would agree with me that that mind is in our subconscious? Raise up your hand. Yeah. There's not really so much to be done. Hey. But there's so much work to be done. Full time ministry #3 I'll be giving you the deceptions. I'm going to show you a video. It's just a short something put on the conditioner for one minute. The reason why I'm preaching this is because even though you may be deceived today, you can overcome that deception and rarely do. Well, in my book here I write about, I say a lady, one once applied. that Lady is Juanita. She's the lady. Yeah. She wanted to work in the ministry. And then I said, oh, OK, you have to do this, this, that and so on. Then she. Asked me that she got she got a new job and she asked me so can I come in the afternoon? Look, I'll come in the afternoon, so after work, you know, when I finish at GIS school and I'll come at this time. So when she says oh, finish, bye, bye. No, it was another two years before I allowed her. And then yes, we're finishing. Yeah, I welcome her back. I said no, no, no, no. You don't understand what is full time is. And when she came to work in the even she works so hard to appoint. One day she told me, Bishop, can I leave my Chapel? I want to leave my Chapel. And come and work in the office. I can help you more. I can help you. More. If I just. Concentrate on that work in these chapels and all these things I'm doing. And I don't think that is my real calling. Yeah, it's true. But I see there was a time she didn't know that and. That's why she said, oh, she'll come in the afternoon when she finishes working as an international teacher and in dollars and what have you. You get it as you can finish as you come and then do whatever I need to be done in the evening. It's a deception. I tell you there is there is space for all of you when you when you go. I tell you when you read about the Levites the Levi had. Levi had three sons, Merari, Kohat and Geshon and Geshons had about 2500 children. Cohort about 3200 cash shown. Also about 2600 when you add it all about 8550 Levites in full time. Ministry, they were not supposed to do anywhere. 8000 there is there is space for you. How do you think that? I mean just, I mean, we just need three people. All is all of you. I will find a place for all of you. All that you will not come, but some will come. It is because of those people that I'm here. Preaching how many among those who are going to come? Shabalaba, you said many times we think that there's there's not much to be done. And then, yeah, it's like, oh, Bishop just preach. I mean, oh, you know, Bishop just flies here on British Airways and he arrived and he just found that he preaches in the afternoon and morning. Then he goes that's that's that's I mean, yeah, it's by now, you know, easy. Are you there? No. Are you listening? To me, are you listening to me right #3 wrong deception that full time ministry is a step downwards, is a deception. You get it? What do you think? Is it not true? Amen. All right, so is a step downwards from your medical profession, from your legal profession, engineering, Amen. No, Paul said. I count all things as done for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ. Amen. So all things are done. So when you put aside your medicine, your law, your computer science is the same as flashing. I mean for the ministry. When you when you put it aside for the ministry, it's the same as flashing your thesis away you it's comparable when you flash and it's going medicine, law, computer, there's that everything else vanishing. That's what Paul said. I count it as done for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them down that I may know Him. Listen, that is every you see. If you can ever get a job to work for the Lord, you have got the highest job. So just pray that it will happen. There is nothing higher than that. It's not because I'm in NATO, but it is true. It's not because that's what I'm doing. That's a fact. And I thank God that I'm a doctor so that I can preach what I'm preaching. Because most people don't do medicine in university. Most people are not serious enough to do medicine. Most people don't do well enough to do medicine. Most people are not disciplined enough to do a course like medicine. Most people do cannot do well enough. So they do all kinds of other courses, all kinds of other courses. And these days there are all kinds of fantastic courses. People are just tourism, hospitality, sewing, sewing, football, coaching, hotel management. Arts, dancing, drumming, everything is A cause. Hairdressing, are you there? So ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know. Amen. I want you to know that are you there that there is no job better than greater than like working for the Lord. That's the fact that you believe this deception that there is most of these jobs are greater are revealed in the way you would not take it up as a job for yourself or you would want your child not to. Or even when you see. Somebody doing it, you look at the person. Are you sure? And I'm surprised that my own lay pastors, when I have missionaries going, I have lay pastors talking to them and, and, and and putting questions in their mind. As to what they are doing, pastors, be careful because you cut your shot, your life short by these kind of things. Be careful. If you will not do and somebody is doing, don't stand there and become the enemy of the message and the enemy of the grace and the enemy of the cloud and the enemy of God. If you will not go, don't go and be blessed where you are, but do not counteract when people are. There are people working in my office, one of the people working out when she was coming to work and so much what you are doing is it was sensible advising the person to do something else. It's not imaginary things I'm talking about. I know the people myself and I know the pastors. So the things filtered down, you get to know about it. OK. So listen carefully, God is calling you and you must follow His mission and overcome the Chuko Liang style deceptions that are released against the whole church. Amen. Are you there? And it's not a step downwards, it's a step upwards. And if you ever have to put aside whatever profession you have to put aside in order to be in the ministry, it is equivalent to flushing away your feet. Nobody poopoos and leaves it in the in the in the, even in the toilet or, or you just leave it, even even leaving it in the WC. I'm not talking about putting it in the fridge or something. I'm talking about, I'm talking about leaving it in the toilet. People have quarrels over the fact that you didn't flush the toilet. Yes, it happens. People have marital quarrels. Why didn't you flush this thing? It makes the small place some way. That's the kind of quarrel angels will be having with you. Why didn't you flush away your medical degrees? Why didn't you flash away your British passport and just go somewhere? Why didn't you flash away that whole thing that you were so precious to you? Amen. Are you listening? So tell your neighbor Flash. It's time to start flashing. When you go today or tomorrow, whenever you go to the toilet and you flush it, remember I'm asking you what else must I flush away #4 that full time workers have a lot of time on their hands. Amen. That full time workers have a lot of time on their hand. That's why relatives and friends of full timers always send them. You understand? But you don't work. You have to go in there and go, go, go and get that whatever, whatever you have to do, but you don't work. Did I wake you up but you don't work because that perception is there. One time I had somebody who was working full time, one of his relatives was not well and then they, the relatives chose him to be a nurse for the sick person and to escort the person to a doctor somewhere, even in another country so full. Time because he's free. Meanwhile, there were other brothers there, and other sisters, but that. Person was chosen, So what, I was told. They said because he is. He is the one who is free. You know, so I said, oh, you are not free. Even I said that that that. Mind should not be even be in your mind that you are even free to do something like that. So I said, OK, out of humanitarian, whatever, you can go. But at a point we realized that the person was not coming back. And then at a point I realized that it's like, oh, I can come back. I can't determine when I will. Come, I said. Which place are you working that you can tell them you don't know when you will come back? You see, if you have never worked, those of you who have worked before, selling shoes, selling whatever security guard, can you tell them I don't know when I'll come back? Can you tell them that your so and so is not well and you are taking your so and so whatever, and that you can't tell exactly when you come back? And if you are dismissed, is there something wrong? Is there something wrong with it? But you see, if you've never worked before, you never know all these things, how absurd it sounds, how nonsensical it sounds. But you see, the mentality is in the relative's mind that you don't have anything to do. Yeah. And it is not only in their Mama. Even you come and discover it, sometimes even in people who are even in full time ministry have it in their mind that I am. Free that you discover that you are not free. Amen that full time workers have a lot of. You don't have. You don't have any. Time, at least I don't have much time for myself. It's a total Chuko Leon deception. Chuko Leon levels of deception #5 that ministry can be done after retirement. You know the numbers from 30 years and upward, even to 50 years. Those who enter the service to do the work in the tent of the meeting, Amen. 25 years old and above, up to the age of 50, and at the age 50, they must cease performing this work and shall work no more, Amen. So by the age of 50 you are retired, but people want to work for God when they are older. But you are going to discover that I tell you there is a difference between a 20 year old and a 40 year old. It's true, you see. Do you know why people wear glasses to read? You know why people wear glasses to read? Because there is a muscle. There is a muscle. Is there a problem? OK, there is a muscle that's it's a small muscle. It it contracts and then it it makes your the lens change so you see better, so you focus. But as you get older, it gets weaker and you may never know how much your body has changed. Just by the age of 40, there are major changes in your body. That's why when somebody comes at the age of 20, there are certain sicknesses we don't even think about setting cancers, setting diseases, blood pressure, diabetes, so it doesn't even occur. When you see the young. Healthy meal. It doesn't occur when the person says they weren't 40, the president, they were 353738 this age then Ahmed Antennas, I have this symptom, this symptom age better check this, better check this, better check this. That's why that's why we go to the how old are you? How old are you please, how old setting this will never come up at your age. It will not come up, but at another age when you when you mention setting, you are 52 years old and you are bleeding as a woman said, what bleeding is this that has suddenly come? What could it be? Immediately we start to think cancer of the you trust, cancer of the service, cancer of this cancer of that by a young girl who. Starts tell you at 23 year old and you started bleeding. I said come on go and buy something and organize yourself and so on. Have your bath and go and bath. Go and bath. Hey, is it true or it's not true? Yeah, you are changing and I tell you, even your output, that's why I see a fat person is it is perceived as lazy. I mean, it's not that even it's lazy or that, but once you are a big, big, it's perceived that you are slow. It's that you can't move fast. And it's true. Fat people don't like moving. Usually they'll call this bring this. They don't want to move. Ghana girls, you'll find out. They don't like to walk. They don't want to. Move. It's true. If you say let's go out to let's go and walk, they don't want to go. I feel cold. I don't want to walk. I don't want whatever. They just stay in one place. Cathy Huger and Huger Gigis, It's true you will not go to a swimming pool and find usually a a Ghanaian girl at the swimming pool. Even her bottle will not fit into the swimming suit. It will not fit in. The swimming suit there is no, there is. It cannot fit. Nothing. Nothing cannot go in. Oh, golf. Yeah. Are you listening? Yeah. So there's a person. As you get older, you see how slower, fatter, lazier. Not even the mind doesn't. You cannot pass in our church. I'll tell you, at a certain age, we don't. I mean, the exam just you have fast. You just take it as your fast because, Charlie, you are old. I mean you cannot think at a certain point. Even even at work, even at work they will ask for a certain age after people who can work and they are just when you reach, when you reach a pregnant, they will tell you that this job is no more suitable for you. I mean, we need younger people, not marriage. There's that, that we can't have you and so on. It's true. So I mean those who think after retirement, you know, when I retire, when I'm old, when I, when I'm now so fat I can't even fit into a a computer chair that you you sit on in front of the computer. When you sit, it will break. It will break. What I'm saying is true. Yeah, you want to wait. Till you're so different, Stand up, stand up. You, you wait till this was stand up, face the congregation. You see how slim and everything she looks aha. If you give her ten years, how old are you, 2020, I did that. 20 years, 15 years, 18 years from now you may see her moving like this. But what we need her now, now that she's fresh, Fresh when she has turned into a hippopotamus and she's moving. We want you when you are an antelope. Yeah. So when you talk about working for God, this is the best time. You choose God when you are young. You choose God first. Don't choose him second last. You see a lot of a lot of a lot of ladies, you know, when they see whether a man is getting married, maybe the wife died and then they like Bishop Saki's situation where he's married again and so on. A lot of ladies, wow. You know what can marry one year, two years after it's too. It's too it's too soon. It's soon. And then they all they go on to say, they go on to say that me, if my husband dies, I will not marry again. Yeah. No, no, no, listen. But but you see, really. Let me tell you, let me tell you something, Let me tell you something. It's not that you will not marry again. It's if you will get somebody to marry you. If you will get somebody to marry you. As for me, I will marry again. As for me, I'm committed to life or death or whatever. When there are antelopes around, who is going to come for a hippopotamus? You. Won't marry again. So, so, so, so listen, I tell you. This is the best time. It's. Fresh like that, as a man also wants a fresh thing. God also wants a fresh thing. Your husband wants a fresh thing. The job backlist bank, they want a fresh thing. They look at you. The airline, they want a fresh. There are some airlines. I don't travel because of the air hostesses. I will see the person. Grandmother, could you hurry up and sit down there? The sooner you sit down, the quicker we'll be on our way. Will you do that? Why? Why, The sooner you sit down, the quicker we'll be on our way, right? Will you just sit down? So they're talking to you anyhow? American planes. The airlines want a younger person. A lot of these old ladies who are air hosted, they cannot stack them because of legal whatever. That's why you see them. They are not fast, they are not right. One day I asked one of the one of the air Hostess, I asked them please is this thing I said I don't know, I don't need airline food, you know, I don't know. I don't need airline food. I don't know, I don't need airline food. You know, just sharing the thing they are throwing it actually bank. They'll say from 25 they ask your age. 2538 upwards knows like that is 9. It's changing. So God. Wants you fresh. When I was 25 years old, I became a pastor. Yeah, and I've been a pastor. All. These years through the hottest time of my life, Yeah, 25, I was a pastor and I've been a young pastor when I go to visit somebody. So your boyfriend has cancelled. No problem. No problem you. Keep on saying all the things you are saying. I'll keep on doing all that I'm doing. Every time this is something bad, negative. But I've kept on all these years, yeah, every time we are doing some ghosts of our young faces, oh, this will do something. They are bad. They are this, this and that and that all the time. But that is what God won. He won from 25, from 25. He needs you from 25, from 25. You are needed from the age of 25 going. It's not that we are we are despising older people. No Bible says you shall rise up. When I started, I said you shall rise up before the grey headed and honor them. I am the Lord that one is there. They they are there. We don't despise them. They have their place and they have whatever, but I'm. Talking about the setting, freshness, youthful energy that is needed to win souls, that's needed to win souls that's there to go round, that's needed to pray, to fast, to move around, to preach, to listen to tapes, to have faith. So those who think I'm going to come and wait for God after retirement, when you just start looking through life, you'll just be tired. Just look and say, ah, Bishopsaki, Christ self God all these years and then his wife just died. Is that you know, I don't know, is it God? There's no either extra bless. Somebody went to where he's being a missionary on the field and his wife is killed. His husband and husband is killed. There's no point in this. This father has been a pastor for all these years. Look at how poor he is. He's trying. You will not even have faith. You just look around at all the disasters and all the mysterious things that have happened and you question in your heart you you just slow down. But at this stage, you know, think about a lot of things because it is first love that you are operating by. Yes, first love. When you have love, your powers of reason are reduced. Reasoning comes down and love controls. Oh, yeah. Haven't you noticed when a boy say I love this girl, you thought you are standing by? He said about this guy. What is what has he seen? Because reasoning goes down and love goes up and that is why we serve God with love. That's why I said that you have lost your first love. He means to say that your reasoning has come up and your love has gone down. Reasoning has you reason so much you. Can't serve God if you think a lot. You cannot serve God by thinking and you think a lot. You can't you stop. We serve God with faith. Amen. Are you listening to me? So don't tell me you are going to do it when you retire, when you are old and your whole body has. Changed. You cannot look at, look at, look at what I have. To do, to see. I cannot make out the words. Can you believe it? I cannot see the words that are here. It is just a Gray line. Yeah, it's just a Gray bled like I can't see. What is the word here? And I used to look at my mother, I used to look at my uncle. Just do this. Suddenly I can see clear. Because my body has changed. It's like God knows it is just descending now to the last way you see that I'm dead like this. Oh, is that when our this, our pastor died? I stood, I called the pastors around the coffin. I said. This is our. Future look at it. We are all headed for this. If I don't die before you, one day I'll get a call that you are dead. I'll get a call. This one is dead. I should come. This one is dead. This one has happened. One by one we all go out of this world. That is how it is. You may not like to hear this truth, but it's the fact and the opportunity will be gone forever. So that's why for me, that's why I say young people, all these guys who've gone on missions, what are their names in this place is Trinidad, Kofi Leslie, All the young people, they were either not married or about to be married. As soon as you marry, behind every great man, it's a it's rather, it should be very, very great. I said trouble because I saw the man. Then they cannot go again. So I'm married. I have three children. I'm married. I have two. Immediately it's a problem for the ministry. He's preaching against marriage. Look, locate the person. Locate the person. The person has gone number six. Next exception is that the ministry does not need and should not have educated people. You see, as soon as you're educated, as I all know, you are not for ministry. No education makes you more suitable for the ministry. I've sent uneducated people before on missions and then I've sent educated people on missions. It's very different. As soon as I have an uneducated person, I send. I I need so many things it becomes a problem. If you ask me, you have 100 people to choose from. If for 100 times I always choose the educated person. That's true. Rarely do uneducated people rise above the background of bad education. It's rare for somebody who is not educated to. Rise. Above that handicap of being uneducated, whether you did law, medicine, symbology, zoology, whatever it is you did, it is it is. It is something that is helpful is education. Education is discipline. You have to stay in the same school. You have to pass exams. You have to. I know one person went to school, did law in one country. When the person finished, she has HIV. So she ends her life with his degree and with HIV. So you see you, you, you, you, you have both got your death and your, your certificate. So you see when you see somebody who is still healthy, has got a certificate and all that, you see that it's. Different. So I mean people go to school, they never, a lot of people came to land and said they are doing CAACCA, they stop in the middle, they never finish it and all that. So when you see somebody with a certificate shows you that the person is disciplined so the person can pull through issues, they say the person will go through to the end and a whole lot of people like that. So that's why in the ministry, one of the rather the qualifications important is that you should have done your education, you should finish your university. Yeah. And it makes a difference. Yeah. And the higher the course you do, the better qualified because there are courses that don't challenge your intellect. You just have to come and Draw Something. And then you have got a degree. So the higher, the higher you are, the more educated you are, the IT helps. It helps you see, because I'm a doctor, there are some things I can. It's helping me. It helps me almost, I mean almost on a daily basis in the prophet, it helps. But I am not intimidated before anybody was at any cost. I've done a I've done a long essay before. I've written things all. I've done all seven years. I was in the university 7 good years from 1982 to 1989. I was in the university. Seven good years. I didn't do a three-year course or A2 year diploma, A1 year certificate. I didn't start ACCA stop. Start Sima and stop or sing and stop and this and that, whatever. There were a whole lot, of course I got, I had to go for an interview the whole country to get into the school. So I. Stand fearless before people who think they are educated. Yeah, I stand next and I'll tell you that for you to put that thing aside, it's like flashing that if you like to today, when you go, leave it there and see how the room will smell. And it tells us this is what it's like when God has called you and then you leave those type of things inside. So I will. Encourage people to go to school. When you finish with like, it's like learning how to dress. It's basic. But you see, unfortunately when people are educated, they feel special. So I am a chartered accountant, I am a doctor, I am a specialist. You are a nothing, that's you are a nothing. You are nothing. It is nothing. I am an architect. And So what are you God, Are you God, Are you God? Nothing. And what has it done for us? What has all your certificates done for us? What has it done for you? A certain brother, he went and applied for a job and they asked him what are his qualifications. He had come from London. He brought out his Ghana degree, first degree, Chartered account, ACCA, SIMA Masters and pH MBA and that's all we have read of you. He said yes Sir, you are too qualified, too educated. He said how can you have such degrees without experience? They are criminal. Are you there? You've gone home. Yeah. So I'm telling you the fact that you are educated, Daniel. What? What course did you do? Sima? Wow. Start. Stand up, please. What? Yeah. I had a first in Business Administration. First of what? First class? 1st class? Wow. And then what? Again? And. Then I did see MA which is what chartered in seat of management accountants. Wow, I see turn around. He looks he looks too good for for I mean like check. Oh, turn on physical congregation. Very, Yeah. It looks too good. You know, there are some people, they have these, what they call a television face. They, they, they, they, you know, very nice looking. I mean, everyone. So somebody like life is even said that he's coming. The mission is, yeah. What a waste. What a waste of such a nice person. Is it How many agree with what I'm saying? Yeah, No, that's how they feel. But now that the Chuko Liang deceptions are going, how many think that it's not a waste for him to be? You are wasting yourself now. Amen. I see. If I had not been to school and I'm standing here with my carpentry certificate and I'm talking like this, I mean, people will look at me some way. So God gave me that medical certificate first so that I can stand and tell you, look, it is nothing. Flash it. Flash. It now and let's do something for the Lord, Amen. You are blessed. If you have a chance to live another life, make sure you come early. Hey, but there's no other life. One life. Mercy #7 full time ministry makes you an insignificant member of society. Amen. It makes you a what? Insignificant to member of society? Yeah. It's like when you become a pastor, like you are not important, but I tell you, you are the most important. I've seen it all. When there are matters of life and death, they will always call us. That's what I've seen. I remember when the three doctors died in Ghana, you know, remember there was one time some three doctors had some terrible accidents. Some of you may know about it. And the big professors and so on. They said, you know, they, they put their bodies. But I went with the wife of one of them, the young one. I went to the Montreal when I had to just see him because, you know, in Ghana they destroy the bodies. When you see the person later, you'd be surprised. But I remember when we got there. They said no, no, no, no, no. We cannot. Then they said, oh, his wife. Is here his wife bosses. Said no, no, no, no, no. Then I remember. Suddenly when they saw me then they changed. They said no, what the hell if her the pasta is here and he says that they should bring their bodies out, then they should bring The big bosses were there say if the pasta is there, he says that they should be there, they should bring. That is when they changed their mind and they said, OK, let's bring them out so that she said, well, they had just died fresh. That was when I even saw that there was now some respect that the presence they are standing in the presence of a pasta involved this Ganicola anesthetist, cardiothoracic surgeons and all that they were all there. So the pasta see and he says that will out there. Body so that she can have a look at her husband because he just died this afternoon. As life progresses, you will see how important it is to be a priest, how important it is to be a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Are you? Listening to me. There is no higher or better, and you become more and more significant in society. Recently I went for one of these lectures. We go for some lectures as doctors. So I went for a lecture. When I went there, the chairman of the I don't know what is she the chairman of something organized, the chairman of whatever. I should have made a seat for me right in the front with the other professors. That's why I should sit there. Hey. And I said, Oh, no, no, no, no, Madam, she was upset. So how'd you actually go there? They've made a special place for this. Like I mean my becoming a. Pastor has not reduced me in In fact, as you go along, you'll be surprised how you'll be called upon because you are the pastor. I mean, I'm going to be pastors here. Shall If you don't become a pastor, I don't think you are really my sheeple. What do you think I'm preaching for? I'm asking what do you think I'm preaching for? I'm trying to encourage you to do the work of God because you are making meat pies. In the church we have a lot of people that can make meat pies. So you are a Sunday school teacher? Maurice Cerullo has given me energy to preach my message. What is your life for? You should. That's why it become more significant. People tend to you to ask what do we do next? What do we? I remember when Juanita died. It was like, I have. I have to decide everything. Hey, I've never had such a responsibility before. Everything is like. I remember when they were bringing. They called me. So should we come from the mottre? And I said, I'll call you back. I have to decide everything. OK. Come do this. Do everything. Hey, such a small thing though. Because it matters of life. Everybody's just shattered, confused. Yes, one time somebody was dead and they were going to the place where the dead person was. And I didn't want to go. But the Lord told me that look when there is a trouble, when there's trouble. People want to go to the trouble with somebody that they feel is drunk to go and fight that trouble with the person. So if you drop back now that person, a widow, she's pitiful. She's I mean, she's at the mercy of of the wings. She's just. Bereft. Of any covering, hold their hand and go there and look at that thing with her. Because at the point I'm so tired of seeing all these nasty. Things and they lost her hold their hand. Go there, go there, be strong and go there with the person and find that whole problem together. You get it. Yeah, look to serve God is a very. High. Position this is I mean to wear that collar and most of you are going even the ladies, most of you are going to wear that collar. Shabba lava. Shabba Lava. You wear it in masala. You wear it in the name of Jesus. Hey, Yes. Are you listening to me? We are listening because God is speaking to us. Amen. No, no, no. You're not becoming insignificant, they are going to become significant more. There is a priest here, there is a pastor here, there is a lady pastor here. Even if even a lady was it, there's a pastor here that would listen to you. Oh, if you have been made more. Significant. It's such a high thing of God to make you his servants and to send you on a mission. So stops. Quarreling pastoral was quarreling with me. Of our water. He was a manager of water, and God was calling him to be a manager of souls. OK, now I've given you those seven. How many reasons do I have? Have I given you today? For only four reasons. OK then #5 #5 why you must be on a mission? Because full time ministry is God's ordained way. Going all out is God's way. All out is God's way. Amen. That's that's God's way. God's way is all out. Did you get it or you didn't get it? All out is what God's way Let me let me, with all due respect and all apologies to lay pastors, lay pastoring is not God's way. I will, I will. I can even have a song. I don't mind. Lay pastoring is not the way God intended. For his work. To be done. We are talking about the way it was intended. Yeah, the way God ordained it not. Not that in the beginning it was not so. It is not his way. It's not philosophically so. It is not so. He had never look when they were making this hotel, Marriott Hotel that we see over here, they were not making that hotel with their mind that lay people would come in the evenings to do some work. It was never intended that way. When they were making Barclays Bank in the area or HSV, they never intended that. All these people come on Sunday afternoon to work. The Monday to Friday will be nobody there. That is not how it was intended and it has never been designed for that. The design is for full time people to work in every hotel in this in that. Including the church, this is the original and not. That all just original in the beginning. Now it is still his way. So the lay, the lay thing that you people are doing, that's not the, that's not the real way. The lay is like in the, in the, in the light of the absence of, I mean, whatever, let's get some emergency workers. Let's get some emergency stuff. So come and fill in the gaps. So what you are doing as lay pastors, that's not the real ministry at all. And, and I'm not joking and you know, I've told you that before, but it's in the Bible. So let's let's read it. First Corinthians Chapter 9, verse 14. Have you found it? First Corinthians Chapter 9. Have you found verse 14? Let's all read it together. God has done what those who preach the gospel should get. Their what? Their living of the gospel Stana. Where do you get your living from? They mentioned that. Give a microphone late pastor. Where are you living from? Milton Kings General Hospital Milton Kings General Hospital. Are you a pastor? Name. Minister name. Minister, you get your living from where, Milton? Keynes, Primary Care Trust. That's it. Where do you get your living from? From Sheffield Royal Mill Centre. Don't worry to stand up. I'll I'll come to you. Room service where you're living from. Where at? Manchesterlaterooms.com. Manchester What late rooms? Late room is what, a hotel? Industry. And you get your living from where? A hubris school in this. You get your living from where? Ghana. International Bank, Ghana. International Bank you get your living from where? Bomber cranking house. You get your living from you. Say it again. Bamberg cranking House. Bamberg cranking house Is this sick sick something hospital? King's College Hospital. Infrastructure investment Infrastructure investments London Borough, Southwark Pardon London Borough of Southwark. London Borough of Southwark, that's AIDS Southwark. So in the absence of God, Paul himself was doing the lay ministry, but he was telling them that, look, that's not how it was supposed to be. Do you understand? But Paul himself was, he was, he was, he was, he was doing this ten thing. I was telling the people that, look, what I'm doing is not how it's supposed to be and I'm doing it because of circumstances. So if you really, really want to be working for God all the way in a certain way, lay ministry is not God's way by which a Levite, somebody will really work for him. It's something that something has come up. And then therefore because of that, we are doing this. It's like marrying a second wife. You wouldn't have married a second person. You would have just stayed with your first wife. But because of what has happened, you have married another person. It's not, it's not that also how you plan. I'm marrying you for 10 years, and I married this one for 10 years, and I married this one for 10. How many understand what I'm talking about? Yeah. So God, are you listening? Are you listening? God has God. God also has his work. And he has never, never, never. Planned for people to do a. Part time, they go here and they come. They go here and they come, they go, they come in the evening. What are you talking about? It is something that is intended full time. You eat offerings. You depend on the people bringing the offerings from their work when they bring you Eats up church. Church. The tithe belongs to the pastor. It means we must stop doing childish things. The tithe belongs to the pastor. So Church. Is God's way and for you to be paid and looked after by the church means you have no other work. But most of us have held on to the other work like we are holding. I will not let it go. I will never let it. Go. And once you hold on to that, you cannot have this. I went to school for that one. Yeah, like my father once said to me, and my son cannot live off collections because you even despise so that when people want to give me an offering, you know, have you got an envelope, you know? You see that? I have something that I want to give to you. They they, they feel so shy. It's like, look, can I, can, I, can I see you? Can I see you? I said, what is it? So I I have something for you. Can I give it to you here? Can't give it to me here. Is it cocaine? That you are giving us. Bring the envelope. That is how we eat this. What has been ordained? Now the people will bring offerings and you wave it before the law and then you eat it. It's a wave offering. Just wave it. A wave offering means that it's there. After the offering you can eat. By a bent offering, you can't eat it. So the Levite also has sin, offering guilt, offering bent offerings wave. Offerings, yeah, but the bent offering. The Levite cannot eat because it's bent, but the wave when you wave it. God receives it through a wave. This is the offering, Lord, have you seen? Have you seen what they brought? Lord? Thank you, Lord. And then just put it in your pockets and then you enjoy it. But you see, you are, you are, you are ashamed of such things. You are shy of such things. Yeah, but you despise. It, but I'm teaching you not to despise it. Don't be ashamed of God, but the devil come, you see that you have been ashamed of the wrong thing. Let's not be ashamed of God. Let's not be ashamed of. God's way, he said. God has ordained that they who preach the gospel. It should be sad that they also live from preaching the gospel. There's nothing wrong with that. It's rather abnormal. Yes. That's why I keep on encouraging you, You know, take, continue to take more steps, keep going further, further, further, further. Amen. Are you there? OK, let's go back to our notes. If you don't want to be working in the ministry when we take our break, you can just oh, what have I done? You can go back and go home because it's going to get worse. The 13 it says do you not know that they which minister about holy things live off the things of the temple and. They which wait. At the altar are partakers. With the altar you have ministry with holy things. You have to partake of the holy things. That's how it's supposed to be. But we are shy. We are ashamed of it because of our secular background, of where you came from, the jobs you've done before and how you've despised poor looking pastors and what you said about priests. All those things are fighting you. Paul saw the seeds of persecuting the church. He saw that seed and throughout his life he was persecuted because he has released that. Spirit, the spirit of persecuting servants of God. So when he changed sides and came to become a priest, the thing that he has initiated and that was now. Moving in full momentum came back for him like a boomerang. I tell you so, yeah, because he he, he released that spirit. Sometimes the things that we have released since we have sown and the spirit that we have released by the things we have said that we have persecuted and fought the right thing, sensitive things. Now those things are not the atmosphere and people have received them and have become worse than you are in that belief. You understand, and now you change sides. All those things come back with strength. So you find out that when you criticize pastors, you criticize me. You criticize people who are preaching, you criticize men of God, criticize somebody who is taking an offering. You speak against all that. All those things release certain scenes in the atmosphere. So when you change sides for all those scenes you release, they are against this side and you are, listen, now you suddenly come and move to this. I say, oh, I am now one. Let's say all of these. People have now harvested. They're all coming to release the thing on you. This is, this is how people are prevented even from coming into the ministry because things they have actually said with their mouths. People cannot come into this church because of what they've said about me. There are people that have run me down with their mouth. They've run me down. They've run me down, I tell you. They said they sat in rooms, in houses, talking same thing, same thing, same. Then at the point they realized that this is it, this arrival, this the only opportunity is to be lighthouse. And that's the only place they are in a desert and that's the only place that they can even flourish or even be ministers. But now they see that they have released. Now come back to find them just like Paul. Paul was the most. Basic how they beat him because he has released the spirit of beating pastors into the atmosphere. Yeah. Since he's there, he never knew that he could turn on him. He, he stood there for that, to beat Steven, kill him. Moving from town to town, teaching people how to fight pastors. So when he now became a pastor, I, they beat him. They thought he was dead and he rose. I said through my tribulation, of course, you have to call scriptures to support what you are doing now. Yeah, you have to quote Scriptures, but it is it is the spirit that you have released. They beat him and beat him and beat him and beat him and beat him and beat him because he has taught how to beat pastors before. He got saved, he taught it, he led the people, he demonstrated how it is done. So when he got saved, I. Tell you that things came for him. I mean, it's not just because you are beaten, arrested. This, that's why he's mentioned that twice. I was beaten with this shipwreck, this stone, this time in dangers of oh, because people were in danger of him. People were in danger. Why We'll not be in danger now. Nature. So you see some of the things we've said and thoughts, you know, it takes, it's fighting us so fast. You were when you were late, but I was sending people on their machines. And so you have to make certain come and make remarks, you say certain things in your head and so on. So now the time comes. When you realize. Some of you will be admitted in the hospital when you realize what I'm saying is. True. It's true. You'll be surprised. I've had passes down on admission before. The gods, they they start to listen to God on admission. Yeah. I've seen it, I've seen it. People on admission, and then they start to hear the voice of God. So brothers and sisters, it's God's way. This is God's way. It's a holy thing. Amen. Are you listening to me? Ask your neighbor what seeds have you sown that are moving around to come back.
