06. The Loyalty of Christ

Welcome to track number six of significance. Now I've given I've been able to share 2 ideas with you, but I believe are going to bring you to significance. What does it mean to be significant? To be large enough or important enough to be noticed, to have an effect, to make a mark in history in the future, to influence and to have a special meaning and to be insignificant means to be small enough or unimportant enough so as to not make an effect, or to be irrelevant, or to not make a difference, or to be not noticed. Forgive mercy. Now the next important key that I believe that it can make us become very significant in the ministry is Christlikeness, Amen. Christlikeness, especially in the area of loyalty and disloyalty. Amen. So I'm, I'm now sharing from this book, a new book on loyalty, leaders and loyalty. Now the first I want to show you 11 qualities that if you can imbibe, assimilate, accept, adopt, imbibe, receive, and be immersed into, you will become powerfully significant. How many realize that if you are like Christ, you'll be significant #1 Jesus Christ to #1 become a person who openly acknowledges His Father? Amen. John chapter 5, verse 18. He says, therefore the Jews sought to kill him because he not only broke the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. Amen. Hallelujah. A loyal person. You see, loyalty will greatly help you to become a very prominent person. Amen in the Lord. And if Jesus Christ did it, then we should just do it, that's all. Are you listening to me? One time I said to myself, I must always read Matthew, Mark, Luke or John to see something that Jesus was doing and try and do it. Recently I was reading and I saw how John the Baptist was sent to prepare the way before the Lord. And the Lord showed me. He said if I needed somebody to help me to prepare before I come to minister, to help him. Make yourself how much more you do You need somebody to do things before you come to minister? And many of us are not reaching the standards of Christ because we are not doing what Christ did. Are you there? Yeah, if we have people to help us and who will not just be the person, but there will be somebody even who also does things that help to prepare for your existence and your coming, we will do better. But we are all alone. Hallelujah. Are you listening? So following Christ is a great thing and one of the things that Christ did. Anything you see that Christ does do it, how many will agree that it's a very good formula for becoming significant If Christ doesn't do it and be a what Christian? Be a what Christian, nothing else, just Christianity. If Christ doesn't do it, He said, because he said God was his Father. Who is your Father? Amen. God is our Father, I believe, and God has given us fathers. Hallelujah. Like Paul said, I am a father to you, so you must do that. A loyal person takes pride in the fact that he has a father and is very happy about his father and points to his father. And that is what Jesus Christ did by a disloyal person. He does not want anybody to know where he comes from. He is a self-made arrival. But listen to me, if you don't acknowledge anybody, you will never be acknowledged by anyone. Just as when I'm preaching, you hear me mentioning certain names. There are many people and I've, I've never mentioned somebody there so that somebody will mention my name. But I realized just as I've also gone to bring people to somebody's chest, a lot of people who go and bring people to my chest. Whatever you sow, you reap mercy. Mercy, are you there? Yeah. He mentioned who his father was and you, you have no father. You are just a man of God. You don't want to mention names. John chapter 5, verse 36. He continued, mentioning that his father has since said the same works that I do bear witness of me, that the father has sent me. He continually mentioned his father, that he was not just doing something great, but his father is the one who has asked him to do it. Wow, my father sent me. How come we don't want to say who has sent us? May you have been somebody who has been sent, Amen. Not just just went. That's right. Where you sent or you went. I say where you sent or you went, Amen. Where you sent or you went? Amen. Now the next thing that you learn from Jesus Christ is that he followed his Father's example. If he sees his Father doing something, then he does just that particular thing. In John chapter 5, when Jesus heals somebody, he's they ask him what he was doing. He said My father worketh hitherto and I also work. What my father is doing is what I do. Amen. Are you listening to me? I'm telling you, I say I am copycat champion. I'm the I'm challenging anybody to copycat championships. Christ was one of the chief copycats. He said my father worked and I work. My father is working me to. I work, I do what I see my father do. Hallelujah #3 Another Christ like pattern is to become a person who does only what he sees his father doing. If you see your father doing, that is what you do. You follow your Father's example, then you do what you see him doing. John chapter 5 verse 19 then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, the Son can do nothing of himself but what he see at the Father do. I don't do any. The only thing I do is what I see my Father do. I'm just trying to show you how to be like Christ. I'm not trying to make you like Buddha. I'm not trying to make you like any man of God. I'm trying to show you Jesus Christ, what I see my father do. That is what I said. The man can do nothing only save only what he sees the father do. The most successful people are those who do what they see. Therefore, if you see somebody like Pastor Chris, how many? I've seen Pastor Chris from Nigeria before. If you watch him, who do you think is his father? You don't have to think much. My father work. I work. I do only what I see my father do. Yeah, that's what sometimes some people want. So we want to have a meeting with you and so on. You know what? You have to. Sometimes you have to. You have to see what he's doing. Sometimes when you have a meeting, you won't see what he's doing. I only watch him. You see what he's doing, that you do what you see your father doing. If he's meeting, if he's meeting people, you also meet people. If he's talking to people, also talk to people. If he's sharing, you also share. If he's loving people, you love them people too. If he's raising fans, raise fans. Learn it. Do what you see him doing. You'll be blessed because you you do what you see your father doing. Jesus had a father and his father was God. And he said me and he was always talking about, he wasn't talking about father. He was an apostle. He was talking about that he had a father. He does his major. He wasn't talking about he was this, he was he was my father, my father, my father, my father. Is that not how children behave? Can you think of it? The Son of God children don't they go to school and boast about my daddy. My daddy has a big car. My daddy will beat you. My daddy is this my daddy? My daddy will say. I will tell my daddy. You know, when the younger you are, the more you talk about your daddy freely. As you get older, you don't talk about him so much as you begin to develop certain wings and certain things. But the smaller you are and the younger you are, my daddy, my daddy will beat you. My daddy will catch you. I will go. I will tell my daddy. My daddy doesn't like that. And Jesus said me, my father, what did my father do? That's what I do. I see him when he sees that. I also do copycat Chief, If he's reading this, he also read Challenge. Let's read because this is what is being read. If it's going here, we are doing and I notice that those who you see, I think there must be a belief that you can do what your Father is doing. I think that thing is very important. We must believe that you can do it. If you don't believe you can do it, I think that's what keeps you from ever starting on a certain difficult Rd. You must believe that what is being done, you can do by the grace of God one day when you start on a road, it's a long, long road, but it's possible. If all of us had 1000 people to preach to every week, I think it will be a different world. What do you think 1000 people is? A lot of people who Mercy, why don't you heal everyone? Jesus, why don't you heal everyone? Why don't you heal everyone? Because I have not seen my father healing everyone in tinamine, Hili, Obiyah or everybody. I won't heal everyone because I've been seen my father healing everyone digest. No one is greater than his father. Look, and when you analyze, you realize that there is something that even your Father is not doing. Why are you trying to do it? Because if the Heavenly Father is not trying to heal everyone, how come you are trying to heal everyone? And when you think about it, you realize that a lot of sicknesses are prison sentences, bondages that people have got into some of them. Legally, there is a reason you cannot easily go to Anumabu prison or in Sawant Prison. In the name of Jesus, I release everybody from here, from everybody, as everybody here, follow me. We are going out and leading you up. The prison guards will say, wait, there is a reason this man has killed somebody. This one has done this, this one has done this. That is why he is here. You can't just use faith and prayer to release somebody when there is a liquor reason for the person to be here. And that is how many sicknesses are. There are liquor reasons why things are where they are. You may stand and shout and release and speak and do whatever, but they cannot just be released like that. People have killed others. Some have instituted cases. Things have happened. Things are established. It's not just just there, it's a spiritual, it's a legal basis. Like like Joab. When Joab killed Abdul, David lifted his voice in case he said may there never be 1A leper. There must always be a leper in your house, or one that lacketh bread, or one that falleth upon a sword, or one that had an issue that there always be somebody like that in your family. Why? Because you have murdered an innocent man. So Joab's family, they are still in Israel up till today. And you, when you go there, you see this one who dies suddenly, That's someone who falleth on a sore or one that had an issue that is a discharging sickness or bleeding or some kind of sickness, or one that is a leper. That means that somebody with an incurable disease or one that falleth upon a sore dying suddenly. They should let them never fail. From the House of Joab, one that fallen upon a sword. Suicide killers, suicide bombers and other. You know, those children will go into arrest. Now see that suicide bomber killer has killed them. It's a different case. So you come and you pray that you can't release legal things. Many times there has to be some special grace. That's why sometimes at a miracle service, just maybe one or two people that are healed, a special grace to release us all our sickness and disease. Most of us there are family things and cases and other things which we are laboring anger. Sometimes even maybe your your father has cheated somebody or your mother has cheated somebody and as you are born, somebody is casting your father that that child. Maybe your your your mother was pregnant with you that child because of what has have been made this, this, this, this, this, this that and you are the child. You are the child and you see that there is a reason Bible say a case causeless shall not come. So when Jesus saw that the father was healing this particular person, he went to the person healed and left everybody. He didn't bother to go to his Sahwan prison shout all of you are released from all this, but he knew there's more to it and he saw that the father was only releasing one person. He released that one person and that was says for Jesus had conveyed himself away. He left the whole scene and you see us pastors lining up people, Father, in the name of Jesus. Father, by the time you finish, you look so powerless, powerless before the infirmities and the afflictions of the world which you never cause and have no authority and power to even remove the legal basis for those things. People don't understand the healing ministry. And sometimes you come and you go and you, you look at the people and you wonder, can I not do something for this? You are not God. Even God himself, the Father does not force himself to do certain things. That's why these days I even preached shorter than I used to preach. Oh, yeah. I, I, I stumped many things. I just stopped. Sometimes I didn't get tired of myself because I know that because I've come to see I cannot do more than God and I cannot do more than the Father wants me to do. Follow Christ. I said follow Christ. What do you think? Follow Christ. Pray for the sick, but be LED. Yes, that's why today's miracle services, we call for those whom their Father has touched to come. Then we also join our prayer to those whom their Father. If I've seen that the Father has healed you, come. If the Father has touched you, come. If he has healed you, then we also pray for you should in case he hasn't healed you. We also don't worry ourselves with everybody's sickness, which you don't understand. There are some sicknesses. We don't ask you how you are feeling. They ask you whether your Father has one or whether your mother has. If your mother has or your father has, it means that he's coming to you. Transferred cases. Maybe God is not trying to build a large church in your town, but you are trying to build a large church. That's why you are getting older. You are having premature, aging, premature. You are getting old. Amen. Yes. One day I looked at a picture of myself when we started the church and I said, hey, Reverend Saki, I've now understood why people did not join the church. I looked like a Palestinian terrorist, very lean and you see my young face. And I'm trying to get old people to join the church. One of the things young pastors don't know is that it's not. You will not have old people joining you when you are young. And when you see young, young boy, 1312, they are coming to give your life, their life to Christ. You will be sacking them. Now. We want certain souls and other bigger fish are in the congregation. These bigger fish are not for you, for you are the little children. Yes, these little little ones are the ones who will listen to you, gaze on your young face. You are a boy of God. You are yet to become a Papa. When I went to Kenneth Hagin, Tulsa, the people who were sitting on stage the board, they were elderly people, people who have been with him for many, many years, and they grow with you and they become old. In some 20 years, many of the people here, you will be 50 something 60, you will be very old. If we are all here, you see that we are another generation, that there will be certain younger ones who will come to try to retire. Let's see, it's true. All those who are 10 years old and nine years old will be 30 years old. Anybody who is 12 years old will be 30 something years old. And they will be the latest anointed young guys in the system and they will be trying to retire us, but they don't know that what is fighting us. When we are removed, that thing will begin to fight them. Are you listening to me? Yeah. Hallelujah. Why are you trying to save somebody who is 58 years old? He cannot join your church. Your face is too small. You are too young. It's true. Me. I've been the people. If I had known this earlier, I would have been so relaxed when when one of these type of bigger people come to the chain, we'll be following them. Visitation, go to the house, come go, they'll start. Oh, too much. I marry forced too much. Most of the main people in my church now, they were 10 years ago, they were 10 years old, they were 10 years old, they were 12 years old, they were 14 years old. Now they are 20 something 24. Those are the people who have been working for me full time. I've come to say I didn't know when I look, I say when we're very young, live with a zealous face, ability to fast for long time. Look, you are not the type that can attract certain people. You can attract young, young people. God is not even trying to give you old people. Nobody in my church has a car. And So what? Nobody. You have a car. Let the children come and invest in them. They will become great. It's a matter of time. They will become great. It's a matter of time. Don't force yourself too much. At first I was so sad. My church is full of young people. Now I'm very happy that my church has mostly young people, young people, young. When you move with young people, you, you always look young and you feel young, even though you may be 20 years older than them. My church is full of young people, the elderly people. I have admired position for them. You are this. Who are this, that, this, that, that. All these people. I move with the young people. Yeah, my mother-in-law, she has young friends. That's what my wife tells me. Is that also? Yeah, from her friends are young, so she doesn't look like an old lady, although she's almost 70. Do you know your mother is almost 70 years old? We didn't know. My mother-in-law is almost 70 years old. Did you know that my mother-in-law is almost 70 years old? I'm sure you are surprised to hear that. Yeah, she's getting to 70 because he moves with young people and also some of your hair is too Gray. Alley. What do you think? Yes. You see, like Doctor Brown, he's older than all of us, but he's moving with young people. Yeah, he moves with young people, and he looks young. And you may be surprised to find his age at this time. Yeah. Head of the community health department of senior lecturer, Head of community health department, UST you'll be he's he's getting to retirement age. If you have found Christ, you have to be young and finish your course one day. I told us, I think I said you, you used to operate at this school. He was not I was not the one, but you were. You are the you are operating. This is what I said. You have tell a lot of people to help. You must tell many to Christ to compensate before you even start salvation. You must compensate for those who have sent to help. How much easier it would be when we do what the Father wants us to do Amen. I do what I see my Father do, finish. I can't see him doing. One day I aligned some people. I said I'm praying for them. I was praying. In a name of Jesus. In a name of Jesus, I. Was took. I said when I go to the present, Lord, I'm not seeing your anointing here. And the Lord said who has asked you to pray for all these people? Who has asked you to pray for all these people? Then as I was the heart and I was the in the name of Jesus, then I said Lord I have asked myself, I will stop. Just I said, I said lift your hands in Jesus name. You are blessed, go back to your time. Hey say hey, you are now doing something that the Father has to ask you to do. Will you not suffer? Will you not be tired? You are trying to convert people that are establishing Methodist test for 27 years, 15 years Catholic, 28 years in Anglican Church. You are trying to bring them and convert them to your small Charismatic Angels Apostolic Church of of Tumim and what in a classroom Urim and Tumim. Relax and be happy with the children that are coming to the church. Encourage the children, tell you, tell the person, look you are going to be my youth pastor and be fraud with them when they go to school, write letters to them. Dear Samson, God bless you. How are you in school today? Visit them in school. Those people, I tell you, I don't want to swear by having them. Those guys, they will come out of the school. All they know is you. And when the people will say where do you get all these loyal guys from? Where do you get all these loyal guys from? One pastor asked me. How do you have all these loyal guides? And I have all these devils in my church. Yeah, yeah. The Father is not doing it, but you are doing it. OK. Do it, do it, Do it, do it. When you see the Father is not healing the person you are struggling with the person, you are forcing the person. When you slap him doesn't mean he will be healed. When you lay hands on somebody and God is not making him fall down, you don't have to make him fall down. Oh, you don't get what I'm saying. Do what you see the if the Father is pushing him down there, you can also. Yes, God bless. If the Father is not pushing the I'm married for too much Hallelujah, Amen. The Father sends me. I do what I do when I see my Father doing it. Amen. Don't be a hero. Don't try to be a hero. Do you understand what I mean by don't be a hero? Don't try to do I mean too much, something too much. One day I was watching a film. They were going, People were going. I don't want the film or advice on a plane that if you are on an aeroplane and people come to hijack the plane, what must you do? What is the first thing to do? I was surprised at the advice they gave. Do you know the advice? If you are on a plane and they are hijacking a plane, do you know what you must do #1 don't be a hero, a hero who is trying to save the situation. Then to fight with the before they hold, they hold your neck. Then they say we have we have killed 1 hostage. You will be the one hostage that they have killed. Hide quietly in your seat and pray to God. Hide, hide quietly and pray to God. You are going to be the hero. Before you rally, hold your neck. Say we have called 1 hostage. Pound the kill the we have killed one. We are going to kill the second one in 5 minutes. Even if they were going to kill 10 you and #10 before they will change their mind or something will happen. So in the ministry, some of us want to be heroes. We are doing too much more than is expected and can be done. We are not the Savior of the world. We are not the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of Ghana or the sins of anywhere. Relax. And do what God? You can do me, I can preach to you for days and days and days of end. We will be here all that I'm preaching is I've written it each book that. I take if I take. My father, my father now will be here for days if I take this one, will be here for days if I take. Loyalty will be here for if I take quieter. Any book I take, I can preach and preach and preach because I wrote the books. It's not somebody who wrote it for me. There are something we call ghost writers. Books are. Written because they know that this. Person, when they see his state, everybody will buy the book. So somebody writes the book and they put his name on. It's a deal. Then the book will go. That's ghostwriters. It's very common. Do you see it? Yeah, Ghostwriters. I read the Charisma magazine. A lot of some Christian books are not written by the people whose name is on it because they know this person is very popular. Everybody buys this book, they write it for him, they put his name on it, and then it's sold. Yeah. And they share the money. It's called ghost Writers. Oh. Yeah, I read it in a Charisma magazine. I said that they should. You should identify themselves, who they are. It's very common now. You see, But I wrote it so I can share it with you for hours and hours and hours. But I can't be with you forever. I can only be with you for a while. If you don't want to listen and you don't want to read, all these things are preached. They are there. They are tapes, they are CDs. They are things you have to do. I cannot do what? I kill myself as I'm here. I'm also tired. Oh, you don't. Get what I'm trying to say? Yeah. I cannot do more from some time ago I appreciate I was continuously, but now I'm realizing look when I look at the voice, I can't see it now. I'm not this Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of God. I'm here to take away nothing. I'm also here to enjoy my salvation. The next one become a person who does not seek his own will, but the will of his Father or his leader. That's what Christ did. The more you do what your father or your leader wants, the greater you will be. In the Kingdom of God and. The more significant. But you see, we think it is the other way round, that the more we do what we want, the greater we will become. But the more you do what he wants, the greater you become. And if you work for. Somebody. The more you do what he wants, the greater you become. What did Jesus say? John, Chapter 5. Verse I can do of my own self nothing as I. Hear I, judge. And my judgment is just because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which sent me. If you are in a branch pastors, branch pastors, you must not seek your own will, but the will of the person who sent you. And all pastors, senior pastors who have got branches, teach your people. Don't seek your own will, but seek the will of the person who sent you there in the first place. What does he want and do what he wants you to do? I am here to seek the. Will of him that sent me, that is what Jesus said. How great we will be. Whenever you send somebody and he does well, after a while he doesn't want to listen to you again. He feels that he knows. How easy it is for us. To be disconnected from the one who sent us and. Stop seeking the will. Of the one who sent us, we must constantly come to the Father and say, Lord, not my will be done, but the will of the Father be done. And if you have been sent by any spiritual father, try and find out what He wants you to do, and don't seek your own will, but what He wants. That is you will. You will see yourself. Going like this, up, up, up, vertically, vertically, even me and I employ somebody and I say do this. You will think that people will do what you want. You have to go and scream at them. Do this, do this. Do this, do this, do this. When I find somebody who. Does what I want the person, Oh I like the person, that's what I cannot lie to you. I like the person very much like guess someone who does what I want. I create such a good feeling and I can imagine the good feeling God has towards us who do his will and not our will I. Can imagine the good feeling. From the Father, a certain feeling of love that there is towards you because you do what the Father wants you to do. Wow. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. How many do you have #5 A. Person who does not. Bear witness of himself. If you want to be significant, don't. Talk about yourself. Amen. Talk about. Talk about Christ. Talk about somebody about. Don't talk about yourself. Christ was. Significant because. He did not bear witness of himself, he himself said. He said if I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnessed of me is true. There is another who does not bear witness of himself, Amen. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true, Amen. When you bear witness of yourself, you promote yourself. You exalt yourself. But he exalted his Father and spoke constantly of where he derived his authority. That is the loyalty of Christ. A person who exalts and promotes himself is not sent from God. Hallelujah. Are you a loyal person? There is no need to elevate yourself. Amen. I said Amen. The Lord who sent you will do that for you. Hallelujah. Don't talk about yourself. Talk about your problems if you want to talk about anything. Paul was a very wise man. He said, our glory in my infirmities. It's wiser to talk about your. Problems than to talk about how great oh I have 4000 people, I am this and this and that, I have this that. Don't say it, talk about Jesus or if you want to talk about some talk about what you are not. That will make you more humble and smaller in the eyes of people. Amen. And in your own eyes, he said. Therefore, will I rather. Glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. I have found out by talking about weaknesses and my own problems. I have not been demoted. I have not lured myself. Rather, I have found myself having an invisible balloon lifting me up. Yes, you would have thought that if you tell people that you have a problem, it lures you. Surprisingly, it does not lure you. In fact, people tend to respect you more and they love you more because they sense that you are a real person. Because it cannot be. You don't have a problem. Anybody who does never has a problem. That person is not so real with you. He never has any problem, never says anything. There's no difficulty, there's no challenge. Everything is perfect, life is perfect. Everything is perfect from the way it's not real, it's not true. Are you listening to me? There are difficulties talk about the difficulties give glory to God. God, he said, therefore we like glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ be rest upon me, say. I I often say to people, I said. Me, my I'm I'm in Accra. I'm my headquarters, my church Winners Chapel. Has come from. Nigeria, these are branch. Their branch is bigger than my headquarters. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying? I said their their branch. Is bigger than mine. Headquarters, where I'm the Pope. Because it is given by God, I can't do anything about it and I glory in my weakness. I don't know what to do to make my church so big. I've tried for years. I don't know, do you? Know if you know, you can see me. At my church so I will discuss it. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying? You started your church, you are the founder, you are from that country. A foreigner has come, he's in the land and he has been able to a branch of his church. Even the brander is broken into two cries bigger than your national international headquarters. Oh yeah. I would rather glory in my infamy. I don't know what to do to to make it bigger. I'm trying our strategy. I'm now using a new strategy to make my church group. I've been changing strategies for 12 years. I'll talk about that, but there are. Many things I wouldn't say you got to come close to know about it. I wouldn't tell you. Why should I talk about them? The things that are good, the things that are working to so that you see me bigger and we get you know, Christ has his own way of lifting you up. Just if I I don't bear witness of my Jesus didn't write any book. He didn't tell anybody to write any book. He didn't travel anywhere. Rather, his words have lasted books, more books have been written about him, more songs have been written, more songs have been sung, more things have been declared. People have voluntarily given their life to die for him and his 'cause his words have been written, rewritten, paraphrase, redescribed so many million times, and he never tried to do it for himself. My man of God, I think I don't know. Who was saying he's saying it? Papahagin or somebody was saying somebody was going on stage and the pastor said go and make me look good before I come back, go and make me look good. Go and make me look good. Forgive God. Can make you look good. And I see God making you look good in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. A man who does not bear witness. Of himself don't say I am the I am a prophet. If you are a prophet, we will know that you are a prophet. What do you think do? You think so? What am I? What do you think? I am a teacher, apostle, prophet, evangelist, manager, businessman, administrator, strategist, copycat. Everybody. Will know what you are. Just continue. The Lord will bear witness of you himself. You don't. Have to write on you. Prophets. Then you'll be arriving prophets, everybody. 'S calling you prophets. There's no need. I have come today as. A prophet of the Lord. Just say I've come today in the name of the Lord, when you. Have a word of knowledge and you. Say you stand up, you have this, this, this, this die. Everybody says, uh, remember when Jesus saw the woman of Samaria, he said you have had five husbands. You know what the woman says? I perceive that you are a prophet. I perceive that thou art a. Prophet, I perceive, he told her. You have had five husbands. The one you are with now is not your husband, she said. I perceive that thou art a prophet. People will perceive I perceive you. Are an apostle. I perceive you are a teacher. I perceive you are an evangelist. I perceive you are a doctor. I perceive you are a teacher. I perceive you are a pastor. I perceive you are a father. You don't have to tell them I am father Abraham. I am the Papa. Don't bear witness of yourself. Take away even your title and just flow. Your name will be bigger than your title. Amen. I see you rising into significance. How many see yourself beginning to be so enlarged and important enough that you are making a difference? The next one is a person who does not allow the words of men to. Influence him. Words of men and the ideas of men, he says. I received not testimony from man. John, chapter 5. Amen. Sometimes. You must be. Rejected by men? What did? Jesus say John 5. 34 But I received not testimony in other. Words I don't receive. Approval from man John chapter 5 verse 41. He said I received not honor from man. Hallelujah, do not try to impress people. How John chapter 5. Verse 44 How? That's how to be great. There are some people when they. When they laugh or when they preach, they. Always look you see when. There's an important person in your chat. Don't look at the person when you are preaching for approval. It's like if you say something funny, you have to look at the person to see if he's laughing. How many preachers understand what? I'm saying there are people like that when they are laughing, they have to look at you to see whether you are laughing. It doesn't matter whether. The person likes what you are saying or not. I received not honor from men. That's how to be great. Rich people in your church? Don't mind them, I'm telling you they are not the most important people in your church. Leave them to be there. If they want to be in the church, fine. If they will leave to, they should go treat them with just the normal honor that they respect. Many rich people are looking for a place where they can just be normal, not. As soon as they come, all the. Pastors are jumping on them. We have realized that you are a money man, so we are looking for some service and things apart for our children. What do you think? Yeah. Me, I don't. Have these type of rich. People very. Important my important. People in my life are my pastors, yeah. I did have. Money. Fine, my father had money, so I don't. See the need a. Lot of money people are some way. And when you want to please them. If you don't take care, your whole church will be twisted. If you want to be great, you see, when people see that you don't need them, that's when they like you. Yeah, when people say that, I don't know why. Are you there? You are not there. Whatever be there, we are also there. I'm not saying that you should disrespect them or you should not give them the necessary regard. You must give them the necessary regard. But I don't see why you should build your church around a rich man is. That not what has happened in many. Orthodox churches, where we have Wizards in the church now. Wizards, whistles are on the front seat. Witches, witches are Dickens. Whistles are elders. Thieves are elders. Dudu men, I said. Dudu men. I'm now in the church. One day I went to a church. I went to a chief's house. First. I went to the chief's house. When I went to the chief's house, I sat down and I crossed my legs. Then there were people who. Said hey, we don't. Cross legs here. I put down my leg. I don't know the tradition. I crossed my leg like that. We don't cross legs in the chief, the chief's house. So we sat there for something I forgot. Then I put my leg. Hey, we look cross leg here. I want even a friend now. See, then, the chief. Told me something he. Said you see the river outside house. I worship the river. That is what I worship. I worship the river. That's my God. This was a few years ago. About five years ago, I said, hey, the river, the stream is my God. That's my God. I worship it. Some months later, I. Went to a certain church. Do you know who I saw sitting? On the front row, as one of the elders of the church, the wizard who worshipped the stream, he was the one sitting there with his associates. With his umbrella, he. Was in the church as a major member of the church. Wizards. Juju men, I don't. Worshippers. Because they have money and lands and So what? When? Jesus had a. Rich man, come and say, let us be like Jesus Christ when a rich man came to join his church. The guy came with money. Jesus. I've brought a lot of. Money. I'm coming to sponsor you. One day I was in a foreign country. A certain man came. I want to sponsor you. I didn't even know what he was talking about. I want to sponsor you. Today the man is dead. I found out later that the man was a drug addict, a drug dealer. I want to sponsor your church or not, Jimmy. Sponsor. I want to say if you come and start a church in this country, I will sponsor you. I'll back you. I said, hey, I don't know what it means. Later I heard the man. I didn't know. I thought I heard he was the mayor of the city. Later I heard he was not the mayor. I thought he was the mayor. I didn't know who you are. I couldn't speak the language. It was a foreign language. I thought he was the mayor. Later I found he was not the mayor. He was just a powerful man. He said he would back me. I said hey. Then I later I heard he had been killed. Shooting. If I would come to their country to start. I didn't go to start. I was telling you something, I said. What was I telling you? I was telling you something, Jesus and the rich man. When the rich man came, what did he say to the rich man? He called at his staff and said Peter and. Others come for a discussion. I want to discuss something. You see, we have been doing this thing for three years now, and you yourself know the difficulties we are experiencing up and down. We have been searching for so many times for money. Originally, Peter, I told you, you were the head of the changes, isn't it? But there are some changes that are coming here. Because you see, we are expanding. And as the ministry is growing and this. Originally. I said you were 12, but now I want to make it 13. Because see, we need the financial. Element in the ministry and then you know you have to be practical. The supernatural mass combined with the natural and other things and we can set up a certain financial basis and backbone for our future ministry. Is that not what we would have done? We. Will bring the person to come and sit in the front row. Why did Jesus say go and sell your riches and come and follow me, Go and sell it, I don't need it. Go and sell it and let's work for God. Give it to the poor. And the man went away because he had great riches. Alfred Price says this way. He says that he went away because great riches had him. Not that he had. Great riches, great riches had him. But we charismatic. When you see somebody with a bench, the pastors himself will come. You see that. Glory to God after church. He will come with his best smile. Hallelujah. Thank God we'll come to the house. We'll come to the house another few while Tuesday we'll be there. We have our best smile, hypocritical smile. And then when you go to the house, and no, they will tell the man that you are there, then they will suck you in the room. These foolish pastors have come and tell them to sit and give them some cake. They just want some money. Give them some money and let them go. That's what they that's what they say about you before you come or you don't know. Let us be like. Jesus, if you like, join us and let's work. If you are a rich man, let's work for God together. Follow Christ, you'll become great. Me. When you look around, you will not see rich people. Not that I'm against them, but I have. Money and help, but I will not see rich. I don't move with rich people, I move with pastors. I don't move with like. These are Wizards. I mean Wizards with money. One day I saw a second man of God. When he's a right hand man and I saw the bright hand man was smoking because the guy has money and he's smoking, it's like these are people you see. Plastic cartoons that we need in the ministry today to have, you know, last week, you remember you were not able to pay the hotel at Nazareth in China. I've brought this rich man to come and pay their bills for us so that you will not get into trouble before I'm crucified, after I'm crucified. You may find another source of financial help, but for the mean time. No. Go and sell, let's work. That is how to be great. I'm telling you how to be great. In God's eyes, you'll become very significant. We like licking bottoms of rich people. Do you understand when I say licking bottoms, It's like a place that even toilet paper is finally difficult to clean you the pasta you are prepared to use your task to lick the bottom. That's so that the person will be. Befriend that student. In his school and write to him when he's at school. Spend your time writing to that young boy in school. My little, little people that have invested, they are of more value to me than anything else. I'm not saying I don't have rich, but I have rich people. But this is your place. They don't want to come in the. Daytime Nicodemus Joseph of Arimathi are those guys. They want to join the team properly. Come in the night and you want special attention. If you don't take care, you'll be sidetracked. I received not honor for. Men, I am not expecting people to approve. We cannot live our life for people. So there are some people when they laugh, then they look at your face, see whether you are laughing, have you seen nothing? They will always look at you to see whether you approve of their laughter. Oh, you haven't seen that laughter before? How many have seen that laughter before? What are you looking for? Approval. Approval from people whether what you are saying is this wedding is good and you'll be preaching to see whether they like your message, what about it? They don't like it. One day a lady wrote to me, a rich lady in the church. She said to me, you know, God bless you. You don't compromise. You say that. Then it's like even we can go if we want to go, but rather we want to be here. I went to preach in the church. Look, that church is full of millionaires. In fact, one day I was walking by the window door of the church and then the man who was escorting me in America, he said to me, see that guy? See that guy? I said, yeah. And so he get past that $1 million last week. So guy be wearing a shirt. Yeah. I didn't know who I was with, who I was with more time millionaires. I went to play golf with the pastor in a place as we were playing golf. There were a lot of houses there. So I said pastor. He was telling me one of them, I said, how much does this house cost for these houses cost? He said, oh, from half a million to millions or one. I said so we're driving. Then he said the guy behind US1 of the guys behind us, I said, which one? The guy wearing the red, he owns 84 of these houses. So I said. Which one? I tried to think which of the guy? Some 4 bulligamous people behind me. I could say he owns 84 of these houses around the earth. We are driving around multi millionaires in a very rich city in America and I was preaching to them. I preach why ya why ya when I finished preaching the richest millionaire, not one of the million say the millionaire they have them in levels the 500,000,500 million 20 million 30,000,400 million 1 billion they have them in the richest man he. Sent a message. To my escort, to my wife, he said. This is the best message I've ever had in this church. Look, I've wait, wait, wait. I'm not answered, he said. This is the best message I've ever had in this church. Then he said, including. He said including my participant, this is the best message I've ever since I came to this church. Then he sent a message to the pastor also that this is the best message I've ever had, the one I was preaching. I said I don't know if they will call me to come to this place again because what I was saying. Can I come and do? What I have to do for people to like me? No, I must not. Preach for any one. Dollar if you like. Me if you. Don't like me? I don't know how to preach this type of sweet. Massage your bottles for you message. You don't understand my message. I don't know how to do it. I received not enough for men. I said do the right thing. Who are you trying to please? Who are? You trying to please before I go and preach. I pray, Lord, I want to please you, to be pleasing you. Come, I want to please you. Oh, please turn off your phones. We are here for just a few minutes. Amen. To be pleased. A loyal person does not seek to impress anybody. Amen. Then another one. Is that a loyal person? Who? Constantly hears the. Voice of His Master, Amen, Jesus said. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape, and you have not His word abiding in you. Amen. You must. Listen to the voice. Of the one who is your father listen to. Your father's voice. Listen to your Heavenly Father. I want to be pleasing you. And then another one is oh a loyal like Christ. You see Christ loved God and he loved his Father. He loved his leader. He says in John 5 verse 40 I know you that you have not the love of God in you. You should have the love of God. In you, you must love the person you are following. Amen. You must. Like the person you are following? Some of you who are in churches, you don't. Like the person who you are following? Why don't you? You have just accepted. Him, but you don't like him. Jesus said I know you, you have. Not the love of God in you. You must have the love. Pastors teach your people. You must love me. If you don't love me, go. What do you think? Somebody asked me. How do you know who to employ? I employ people who love me, yeah. That's my. Criteria. I'll apply you to work for me. If you love me, that's it. If I feel that you. Love me no. Your marks are going very high whether you know how to do the work or not. Once you have said that you love me, now you are getting high ratings. That's how I choose people. If you love me, I'll choose you. It's the most important thing when Somebody Loves You. He would try to do something good for you. Yes, I know you. You have not the love of God in you. I know you, I know you. Amen before. I go to. Preach, I kneel down, I said. Lord, please let me say what you like. What you like? What you want? Please let me say what you like. What makes you happy? When I come back, I pray after preaching, I always pray and I pray, Lord, forgive me for what I said that wasn't the will. And I pray what my prayer after preaching is a hopeful prayer. I say, Lord, I hope, I hope, I hope you like what I said and what I did. Because I've already finished, so I have to. Hope. Hallelujah. Stand on your feet everybody. You are becoming important and you are becoming like Christ. How many are becoming like Christ Jesus himself? Oh Hallelujah. To be pleasing you, pleasing you. This is I really want to do. To be pleasing you singing. To these. And you? This is all I really want to do. To be pleasing you, to be pleasing you, pleasing you. This is all I really want to do. Listen, preachers, how? Many are preachers. How many are preach? You must. Kneel down and pray. When I went to Bishop Blake's church, I was sitting on stage when he came, or even in my own church, I think he came there. When he came, before he sat down, he knelt down and he prayed and he got up and he sat in the chair. I said, hey, I'm seeing something. Oh, how many of us charismatics kneel down and pray before we sit on the pastor's chair? I believe we must kneel down. And pray and say, Lord, what I'm coming to do here. And you see, when you kneel down, God sees it. Oh, God sees it and you must pray. Lord, what I'm going to say, I beg you, I pray. Let me say what pleases you. You think God will help you in your preaching If you do that, I believe he will. A lot of the things we are preaching that are not correct, you say look, this one don't like it so that now you can be his messenger. You can prepare the grave for the Lord. You can be his special child that he likes. How many want to be somebody that Jesus likes? God likes, God approves us. One day I was preaching at a crusade. I saw my hand waving and I heard something saying to me, You will never regret this. I was preaching at a crusade. Thousands of people were there giving their light. They had come to Christ and I was waving. I heard a lot. So you will never regret this. You will never regret this. I believe it. I believe it that we will never regret following Him and pleasing Him and trying to do what he says. I went to preach at the church. When I finished preaching, the pastor of the church told me You are the only person who has made an altar call in this convention. We have been having speakers every night. Nobody has made an altar call for Christianity, for Christ. Every big man of God has come here. No one has made an altar call. What is the purpose of the Church? What is the purpose of all the things we are doing and all the things that we have if we are not pleasing to Him? Have you seen that Scripture? I said away with your sacrifice, away with those things, away. I am sick of, I am sick of your oblations and all these things which are not what I want, but just doing something for yourself. It has always been the practice of the Church to deviate from the Father and from the will of God. Hallelujah. Are you listening to me? Are you listening to me become loyal? Jesus was loyal to his father. He was loyal. He said I do what I see my father do. I do his will. This is the what my father wants, I'm doing. I'll just do what he wants. I'll do what I see. I'll do what he wants. I cannot do my own thing. I cannot do my. Some of you choristers and singers, you know, they just do what you want. You have musicians who have their own. Whatever you take me, no singer can flourish in my presence if you don't do what I want. There are many people who have sons that what I like as the pastor of the church. That is what should be done in my church, not what you like. You cannot flourish, and you will not. Last long in my church and you will not last long anywhere when you don't first. Ashley, if you have some songs you like, they should sing what you want in the church. It's very simple. That's what they should sing. Because you are the pastor of the church. When Grace is singing, she's not singing a song for you, she's singing for me or you don't know. Even if you don't like the song, I like the song. It doesn't matter at all. That's why she can't survive here. She didn't. She didn't know. Are you the one who has to come here? Will you pay her after church? No. Will you find transport for her? No. She is here. To please one person. As long as she makes me happy and she pleases me, she will flourish. She come to sing. Swahili or some other languages. Now I don't understand what she is thinking. One day I had is this Susie and. Matthew So they came to see people were shouting. I thought I don't understand what they are singing, but I don't understand the tree that they were seeing. It was too deep for me. I don't understand. It's nice, but I don't understand it. So I cannot have it in my church more than once. You get what I'm saying? A lot of people like it, but I don't understand it. You see the song Grace has been. Singing. She's been singing. What was the first one you were singing? The star, everybody. Sing just the first part. Of it just sing everybody's. Got to know who Jesus is. Oh Jesus, really? Don't you think? Don't you think they ought to know how she's singing for me if you don't? Want to sing? If you want. She's singing it for me. I. Like it? Everybody ought to know who Jesus is. It touches me. I don't know if it touches you, but it touches me that everybody ought to know. Don't you? No. Come on, who? Jesus is who Jesus is. Everybody's got to know Hope who Jesus is who? Jesus. Really is don't you think they ought to know? Hope? Oh, Jesus is oh, Jesus is. Everybody's got to know. OK, well the other one you have seen just. Now no, just. Before, can't keep it to myself. Play it. Sing it I. Can't keep it to myself. I can't. Keep it to myself. I've got to go out and tell somebody. I can't keep it to myself. Somebody's love. Somebody's dying. I can't keep it to myself. I've got to tell somebody else for they've got to know. Got to know Jesus loves them. So please don't keep it to yourself. You need to go out and tell somebody. Don't keep it to yourself, 'cause somebody's love, somebody's dying. Don't keep it to yourself. You need to tell somebody else. Somebody's got to know Jesus loves themselves. One day I had a vision and I. Saw a heart. And the Lord said to me, that's my heart. So what's your heart? So my heart is for the lost to be saved. Those who are lost and who don't know Christ, that's the heart of God must. Become my heart. That is why songs that are clear, clear, these modern songs, you hear them saying, ha, what else are going to be OK? It's going to be OK, All right, come on, somebody, it's going to be OK. Jesus going to be OK somebody. What are they singing about? And then they will say it has got a crossover appeal. They will use a certain word, crossover appeal. That means that it crosses over from the Christian world to the unbelievable world. Since when did Christ have a crossover appeal? What is crossover appeal? Taboo says we are a saver of life unto some and a saver of death unto some. To some we smell of death and to some we smell of life and aroma of life. Not a crossover of life here and life here. So you've got a crossover appeal. You will never regret singing such. Songs, yes. It's a pleasure for the Lord. To hear the reason why Christ died on the cross for us, that's the reason why he died is this thing. The reason why we are churches and we are pastors is because of this. Because He lay on the cross for his blood started to flow out. What can wash away the sins of this world? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can save us? What can save Ghana? What can save Nigeria? What can save Africa? Nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ. That's why Christ came. He didn't. Come to make us big men. He didn't come to make us great. He didn't come to make us important. He came to save this world and He wants us to get to the point where we are having an effect on that aim of God, to save the souls and the loss of this world. He didn't come to give us cars and houses and make us to have diamonds and gold. He came to save and to seek that which was lost. Oh, we have lost the purpose of Christ. What is the heart and the will of the Father? Father say God is not willing that any should perish. That is the will of God. How many of us often speak about the will of God? This is the purpose of the church. For God sent His Son into this world, that none should perish but have everlasting life. That is the will of God. If you don't know when I preach such a message, don't tell me. I'm John the Baptist. I'm reading the basic scripture that is in the Bible. There's nothing spectacular about it. There's nothing unusual. That is the purpose of God. Everything, whether you are a prophet, pasta, this, that, whatever, it is all intended to end up in the salvation of this world. When the soldier pierced the. Side of Christ and the blood began to flow. It began to flow. A fountain began to flow that never dried. A fountain that the devil regretted thus ever releasing to this world. A fountain of the blood, nothing but the blood of Jesus. That is why we are here. That's why I'm in full time and that's why I left my job. That's why. That's why we are all here. That's why we sing. That's why we play it. There's no other reason. Why would you want to substitute it? Let's be like I said, no. That we are not in charge of our own church. The church is taught for any of us. You can. I can die as I'm preaching now. The next place I will go and stop my house. I will go to the mosque. I don't. I don't even belong. Here I'm temporary. Here you are temporary. You have no permanent role here. If you want to know, I'm telling you. You know body here is permanent. We are all temporary residents who are just inhabiting for a short while. You don't know that day when your contract. Will be over and why do you presume to have a new idea? Why would you not rather adopt the will of him that sent us and called us? How come we are pastors without utter call, no fervency and no feeling for souls even when a song about soul winning is are the songs that we want to say we want to say Mama, oh don't let me go empty handed and such songs which are just about what I can get from God. Oh, please do. You think you will ever become? Prominent to God. You think you ever become what he? What he, what he wants you to be, perhaps. You have not thought deeply about. Your salvation. Perhaps you have not read deeply the Bible to see that God is more wicked than any man. When he's going to punish you. It will not be a small thing. And that he made a hell. For people to escape from it. I don't know why Jesus loved me. I don't, I don't know. Why Jesus loves me. I don't know why. Slowly he can't. I don't know why sacrifice his life. I'm glad he did. Just say it again. I don't. Know I I don't know why I don't. Know why Jesus loved me? And I don't. Know why he can't? I don't know. Why He sacrificed his life home and away. I'm glad he did. I be there. Where would I be? Jesus didn't love me. Come. On and where would. I. Be where would I be? He didn't care. Where? Would I be if he hadn't sacrifice life all but of life? I'm glad he did. Where would I be? Where? Where would I be when? Would I be if Jesus didn't love me? Do you think there is any pastor? Who is going to flourish in the presence of God for a long time when your mind is not on His mind and your heart is not His heart and your will is not His will, and you are not seeking His will and trying to do what He is trying to do? Do you think you will flourish or last for long? Do you think you have the money you need? Do you think you ever amount to anything? Is Christ not adopt fully the will? It's not that you are accepting it. It has become your will, not his will. It has become your will. That's how to become important. And significant. You are very significant to God as soon as you start to do what He wants. And you start to please him. And please him fully say it again, I don't. Know why Jesus loved me? I don't know why he. I don't know why he cares. I don't know why he sacrificed his life. I'm glad it is. Oh, where would I be if Jesus didn't love me? Home. Where would I be if he didn't care? Where would I be? Home? Where would I be if he hadn't sacrificed his life? Home. But of the life. I'm glad he did. He left his mighty. He. Left his mighty phone in glory to bring to us redemption story. Oh, then he died and he rose again just for you, but thee. Oh, I am glad. I'm glad it did. Oh yeah, so glad it did. He left his. Mighty throne and blooming. Oh, to bring to a redemption story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then he died and he rose again. So you and me. Oh, I'm so blind. Is there any town in? Ghana, that is too hot and too dark and too poor for any of us. If he left his mighty throne in glory and came all the way here, is there any place where there are souls where any of us would dare, would dare to say I cannot be there, I am above that place. Which place are you above? Is there anything? That is too hard for us to do for him. Let's be. Very careful. Before we become the next group of popes and Cardinals who are outrageously outside the will of God, May. God have mercy on. Us, and may He bring us into His perfect will. Sing that song. Go ye. Therefore and teach all nations. Therefore, and teach all nations Go, go, go, go eat there, and teach all nations Go, go, go. Baptizing in the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Lord God. God, God, if you love me, hit. My commandments and hit. Yes, and I will be. Waiting forever and ever until the end of that end. Go, go. That's that's. Is the will, he said. I do not my own will, but the will of the Father which sends me. That is how you. Become as. You become great and the less of the will of the Father we do, the lower and more insignificant we are becoming and and useful if there is such a. Way. Is there a way like? I'm useful. Useless. Not useful. Tomorrow I want to find out. The will of God, yeah. And do it. I want to find it out and do it. And I. Always want his will to be. Bending in my heart the. More I do his will. People thought I would be poorer as I'm preaching some of this mess. We have rather become richer. Oh yeah, people told us. Rich people. Rich people Rather. Like I said, I was surprised that the richest man in the church rather, was the one recommending my message on that day. I preached. I said if rich men were to go to hell. I preached about the rich man who went to hell. I said if in the place of rich men. I said if the rich man was to go to hell and come back he would be advising us on evangelism. But today the rich men because they have not been to hell in Tina, they are sitting in the face squeezing their the church squeezing their faces. When we are asking for money to help me. They and I said we need one or two rich men in the church to go to hell and come. The whole church will change. That's the message. I preach that the richest man said that that's the best message he has ever heard, including his own pastors messages. I'm not saying go to places and. Insult people. But when I came to standard, the. Message that I had. You know what the pastor said? He said every two years you come here and you give us that thing. What do they call it? The Electroconvo, The one that they heart attack. What do you call it? Defibrillation. Have you seen it in there? When there are heart attacks. Somebody so bad we are all feeling. So every two years you come and give us that different relationship to wake us up. I said glory be to God, don't think about people, think about it to be pleasing, to be pleasing. I heard Benny him. He said, Lord, we just want to see you smile at us. Smile. Just a smile from him. Just a smile would. You look at him and smile. He's happy with you. Don't you want that? That's what I want. I want him to. Look at his. Smile when he sees you. Joy, what a pleasant person, well favored and goodly, so pleasing to the Father. When we go back, let's kneel down and ask him. Lord, please, I want to be pleasing. I want to make you happy. Not that I want to finish this series, but I want to make you pray to him. Lord. I want to make you happy. Hallelujah. Let your hands, Father. Thank you for the opportunity. Opportunity, Your Grace. Oh yes. We want to please you and make you. Happy, we want you to. Be so happy with. Us. We want you to see us and like us, Lord, whichever town we are alone, wherever we are, we don't want. To accomplish things you. Are not trying to accomplish. If only you are you like us and we make you happy. Jesus, we accept you. We thank you. Oh Hallelujah Amen. God bless you. You may be seated. None.
