06. The Word Of My Patience - The Call Of Jacob

Welcome to track number six of the Word of My Patience. Hallelujah. Is it fantastic, Jacob? Did I talk about Jacob? Not yet. Jacob went to Bathsheba and he dreamed. This is his calling home. And behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heaven and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Wow, what a what a calling. I said, what a call, and behold, the Lord stood above it and said, I am the Lord. God of Abraham, thy father. And the God of Isaac, the land whereon thou liest, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed, what a calling. And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth. And thou shall spread abroad to the West, to the east, to the north, to the South. Unless we are going too far, let's just take the first part of the calling, the land whereon thou liest. To thee will I give it. Hey, you come somewhere, you are sleeping, and then the land on which you are lying, which is somebody's land, I will give it to you. Do you know how long it has taken for that land to be given to the Israelites? It was recently, in 1948, that they were now getting back some of those lands. It takes a long time and even after now. Their land, it extends from the Jordan to the sea, but within their land. OK, do you understand east and West WW means the left W is left E is right is another way of saying right hand drive is east hand drive. So east and West we have the Jordan River, and to the left of the Jordan River is. All Israel, but up till today the Palestinians who are really Jordanians are living in there. Have you not heard that this thing on the news before? West Bank. West Bank is the Palestinians who are on the West part of the bank. They shouldn't be there every day. West Bank West Bank West Bank West Bank because all of Israel is from the the river divides Jordan and Israel the Jordan river from. Top to bottom divides. Israel is on the left or the West, and Jordan is on the right. So the Palestinians who are on the West, they are. Inside Israel, that's what you hear. The West Bank, the West Bank, West Bank, West Bank, West Bank. Up till today, 2011, the word of my patients is still on course. It's not a small thing. Are you listening to me? It's not a small project. It's not a small vision. So the vision that God has given you and the word that He's giving to send you to a village, maybe by the time you finish with that village, the village will be so developed, yes, so developed by the time you are finishing. And it will be even a city with so many, many more people. When I became a pastor in Ghana 25 years ago, the population of Ghana was about 10 million and the population of Ghana now is about 25,000,000. So, so many people have come into Accra. These are people who are in Accra are church members because the city has to grow for the church to grow. That's why the larger churches are in larger cities. The largest church in the world is in Korea, Nigeria, India. These are where you find big churches, where there's a lot of population. So you may even have to wait. Maybe God has given you a vision for a big church. You have to even wait for the population to increase people to give birth. Hey every day you have to pass by the hospital and bless it Lord let more be born because in 14 years time from. Now they will all be joining the church 15 years time, 12 years, 11 years. They will all be six years where they can join by the time they are 18. You see, they are grown-ups 18 years from now. So whenever you go to a town, people are giving birth today, today, today. They've some have given last year, the year before, the year before to be 3 years. They are all your members. Yeah, not a small thing. So when he says the land, I have given you the land. 2011 we are still watching the land. Yeah, so As for God's caller, honestly for me, I have noticed that there is no short. Aspect of God's calling. There's nothing short about God's calling. And I'm convinced that the call of God must be pursued from a young age. You must be 20 something when you start, and you must plan how to be in the thing for a long time. Do you understand? Yeah. Then he goes on and he says, I'll give it to thy seed, you see? Have you got a seed? Do you have a child? If you are not even married, you don't have a beloved. Nobody likes you because they see you as a poor person. They see you as ugly. They don't see you as somebody. Who should be married? Nobody likes you. And you have. And you have received a word that I will give it to your seed. Hey, is it not amazing? It's the word of His patience. Amen. And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth. Wow, God is going to give you fruits, which will be so many that you can't come. I used to. Prophecy. One day we'll have churches here. Here. I wouldn't know the names of the pastors. Has anybody heard me say something like that before, many years ago and today? It's not that I don't. Want to know the name? I don't I'm a pastor. Are you Who are you answer. I'm a pastor here. Lighter. Oh yeah, wow. I don't know. Most of the pastors now, is it not amazing? But I used to say it, a time will come, a time will come. I'll pass by church. I'll say who is the pastor here? So I don't know who, who, who is there practically. I said, I'll make your seed like the dust. But when the dust here, you can't recognize, oh, this the dust that was here, it has moved from here to here. When I see that, oh this the dust that was at the back. You don't even know where it comes from. And where it's going. That is the meaning of fruitfulness and multiplication to the point where you don't even know where it's coming, where it's going. Amen. Are you listening to me? And then it goes further, and he says, thou shalt spread abroad to the West, and to the east and the north and to the South. Well, you have not even spread just around you before. You are thinking of the north and the South and the east and the West. Amen. I mean, lighthouse, we would like to be in the east because 60% of the world is in the east. But we don't really have any major churches in the east. It's not easy to spread to the east. So some of you, you, you want to spread so quickly. It's not easy to spread to the East, but he told me you spread to the east and to the West. It's not easy to spread to the Western world. We have churches in the West, but we don't have many real Westerners in our churches. Yeah, so we spread to the word, but it is in a way. But we don't have Norwegians and Swedish people and Swiss people, Germans, French men. Do you see Dutch men? We don't have that much Italians. Do you see any Italians in the church? Do you see any Italians? Yeah. It's so easy to spread to the West and the north. All these Muslim areas we don't have. We have not been able to spread to the north, to Morocco after so many years. Tunisia. Hey, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Nigeria, the north, we have not been able to spread there. And the South, the islands down in the sea, we have not been able to reach those islands. There are islands with people inhabited islands. It's not a small thing. God's, God's vision and God's calling is the calling of great patience. One day I went. To a village in the western part of Ghana and far away from Takrani went W turned into the forest, came down to the seaside and there what did I see? A Methodist Church. To my amazement there was a Methodist Church and there was a man who helped to build a Methodist Church. He his grave was like the boy's quarters of the church. He has made it with washeras when he was in it. Hey. And I was amazed. And I was thinking that far away in West Africa, John Wesley's ministry has spread South. To that corner of that corner of Ghana, do you understand? But. It takes. Yeah, he's. Been dead for 200 years. His bones cannot even be found. If you go, you wouldn't see anything. You can't even identify which one John Wesley or which one and the other pastors, they are all together. They buried six of them together. He wanted to be buried with his pastors. So when you go to England on the road, you see the main headquarters of the Methodist Church, and there's a place behind it. And that is where he's buried with his pastors. Yeah. And Anthem, Methodist Process, they're all together at the same place. And they were making a road at the back there, so they had to. Move. Some of them inside, you know, it's, it's gone, it's no more here and it's bearing fruits in today, today, today, today. We even learned Covenant Sunday. We learned it from Methodist Lay Ministry Synod, a conference we are having. We all, these are all Methodist things that we have copied. Oh, yeah, Copied a lot of things from the Methodist Church and from John Wesley. Yeah. He's one of my heroes. Dead heroes. Yeah. It's not a small thing. Do you understand? Yeah. And he lived around the age of 52. He thought he was going to die, but he didn't die. He even wrote his memoirs. He wrote what should be written on his gravestone. Everything. But he didn't die. What a shock and he had to continue finished running his course. Because after his course wasn't over, because in those days, most people died in 40s. So most people married widows. Yeah. You usually marry a widow. It's like somebody whose husband had died. So he married a widow, and then his brother also married a widow. He's like, mostly you just marry widows. They are. They are available. Is it not amazing? Is it not fantastic? Is the word he said. Because thou has kept the word of my patience. You see, on Sunday morning they give words. Words of encouragement, word of prosperity, word of for healing. But this is the word of my patience, this one. It takes patience to follow it, but if you follow it patiently, you come to a place. See the breaking of the. Law. Amen. Are you there? All right, so spreading to the north, lighthouses. We we have not spread. When we were watching all the problems in Libya, we didn't have any feelings, you know, we were just watching. We didn't have any feeling about how is our pastor who is we have nothing there. Yeah, I went to, I went to Libya. And when I got to Libya, they told me over here there are three things we don't have, I said. Three things. We are not having here in Libya, Tripoli, I was in Libya #1 We don't have. Americans #2 we don't have. Jews. And #3 we don't have Christians here. That's what he told me. These are three things we don't have here in Libya. We don't have American, we don't have Jews. We don't have Christians. Wow. I will spread to the east, spread to the north, spread to the South, and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Now this calling. For families to be blessed, it missed, it came to pass mysteriously through Christ because it through Jacob came Christ, Judah and the lion of the tribe of Judah. And through him all families, Nigerian families, Egyptian families, American families, English families, South African families, Kenyan families, Zambia, all the families of the earth have been blessed through Christ, through Christ. But it was going to take about 4000 years from the time Jacob received this promise because it's estimated that the Bible is about 6000 years. So it took about 4000 years to the coming of Christ before this word of my patience began to flicker. By which time Abraham and Jacob and the guys have been gone. Yeah, I went to Israel. And then at first I believed everything they were saying. They said, oh, this is Rachel. You know when you are going to where Jesus was born? Bethlehem, He said. This is Rachel's tomb. I tell you, you see a block like this race above the ground. When the the road comes, it passes around it and that thing alone is tackled with that one. So that is where Rachel is buried, the mother of Israel. Yeah, the wife of Jacob. This is where she is buried. And then you go to a place, they say this is where David's tomb 4000 years ago. Most of the things are lies. But symbolic, you get a feeling most of the things are not true. It cannot be true. They showed me a Sycamore tree, said this is the Sycamore tree Zacchaeus. So you will get the impression that it was just four years ago that Jacob was told. Such a thing. No, 4000, there is no human body. We have eaten his body long time ago. You see, one day I was watching Ghana television. Then I saw the Vice President of Ghana had died and he had requested to be cremated. So he was now in a bottle, and they took him to the sea in Winneba, where he came from, and they sprinkled his ashes into the sea now. Do you know Shou Yi? Shou Yi is a type of fish. Called grouper, they are all streaming in the waters there. Do you know red fish? Do you know Barracuda? Do you know what cassava fish they are all streaming in other Winnie Bat seas. When they see the ashes, do you think they will leave it? They will, they will, they will eat it. When the fisherman goes tomorrow and he goes fish and he catches the fish, brings it in, fries the fries it for you before you realise you are eating the Vice president. Yeah, with Kenki and Puppet you may never know. Limited Are you there or you are going home? So I'm explaining. The bodies of Jacob and Abraham and these guys, long time ago, they have evaporated. It's now that their visions and dreams are happening. Could it be that years to come lighthouse the vision that we have had Anakazo Bible School years? To come that we will see the fruits. Could it be? Could it be we are just laying the back? Could it be that Christ to come 900 years from now, Could it be that eight 600 years from somebody who will be reading a book that that were this this and that they were whatever these are some of the things that this how they used to speak English. Wow. Could it be that some of you are going to start up Anakazo Bible School somewhere one day, huh. Could it be, could it be, could it be and that so many families. Before many families are blessed through you it's not a small thing. Look how many years it took Jacob 4000 years before families started being blessed, before he started spreading north-south east and. West, that is why when you see somebody who is in a hurry, Babo said that he that haste to be rich has an evil eye. You are in a. Hurry. You want to. I want to be. I want to be like Bishop just now. I want to be. I want to have a Nissan Patrol. I want to have a car. I want to be this. No. Relax. The first car that I had my father. Bought for me. The first car that I had, it was my mother's old car. AA5469 Renault 4 The second car that I had was a car that my father bought for me. Renault 4, new Renault four. I was a student and a pastor. After check, we used to go for PFI. You know PFI. We used to go for PFI. In my car. We were four at that time. The whites were not as fat. Their bottoms were not as white, so they could all six of us will fit into that car. Six of us. And now their buttons are so wide they cannot fit into these cars anymore because it is narrow car. Have you seen what an aftershock? Yeah, we used to go. PFI from Colegono, Colebu to Tema, All of us, we sit inside, we go all the way to Tema. Yeah, this is 6 of us. Yeah. Renault 4, Tema Moto, we everything. We go. Yeah, That was the second car that I had, the third car that I had. My brother-in-law bought a Toyota Corolla for me and sent free of charge. It was a gift. All these are gifts. For years I've just living on gifts. Handouts the 4th. Car I had. Was a Toyota Corolla. Also. A newer 1 of there was a second hand which was an accident car that had been sprayed. The 5th car that I had was an Avon bus. Somebody gave me an air van. He does it to me, an air van bus, and I gave the air van bus to the church. Yeah. They even had an accident with it around the Testano. They were going for a camp. They had an accident at Testano, Achimoto overpass. I gave it. To the Church Street. I didn't use it for business or to take money or whatever. Just that's the 5th. Car and the 6th car that I had was a Toyota Corolla. Yeah, again, I had it 16 years ago. That was the first time ever that the church had money to buy a car for me to use. 16 years ago or 15 years ago, 1615 years ago. I know the age well. The age is the day. The day that one of our church members had a had a baby the same time. All the time, just Gibson, whatever that I didn't ask for, but I had them. I just was not able to buy them. You see, you've come just now, something that we started 26 years ago. You have come now. You start making. If I was to have a car, I think it will really help. You know what we are doing now and if I have this and it's not that you shouldn't have a car. I'm not saying that if I suffer to have a car, you should suffer to have a car after cars are easier to get today than they were some years ago. It's easier to have a car, a brand new car. You can get a brand new car for $6000 only that you shouldn't have an accident in that car because you and the car will be joined together as a form of metal, the smallest car. Do you understand? Yeah, but for yes, yes and yes. Michel Sake. The first car Michel Sake had was a ladder, Russian made, Russian made ladder, hard body, ladder. The second car that Michel Sake had was a Toyota Carina body and engine that we joined. We had the body, we had the engine and we joined them. No, he had a Renault. He also had a Oh, he had, he had some car. We painted it blue because Saki used to dye. The red ladder like a box. You may never know. Let me. Say so today if you see me driving a car, you may look and say hey. Even I enjoy him. You're mark like a lizard. Mark like a lizard. We are suffering here. Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Amen. Are you there? You're going home. Jacob had a word of patience. And then he said. And behold, I am with thee. I will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and I will bring thee again into this land, for I will not leave thee is the one that God will bring you back to Ghana, back to Accra, back to the Kodesh. You went away empty handed, but you will come back with your pockets. Full of offerings. And Thanksgiving. And look at what the Lord has done. I will bring you back to this time, but it will take time before you come back to the land. But Jacob said I went out of this place, Mt 100 and I have come back two companies. I've become two banks. So now you are going but it will take time. It's not next. Year when you are coming that everything will be OK. Oh, but with time, one day you will come back and step in that school that we are building there. And you will stand there, you will talk to the students, say, come, my friend, let me tell you something. Have you heard of the word of my patience? Do you know that? Do you know the meaning of that scripture, the word of my patience? Do you, do you understand what it means when they say the word of my patience? Do. You know what it means, Yeah, when they have. Nights with their fathers. You will be called. It will happen practically, he says. I will bring you back to this land. It's a word of patience. Who witness, I will bring you back to this land is a word of my patience. Witness, I will bring you back to this land. Is a word of my patience. It's not something that will just happen overnight. It's a word of my patience. It's a. Word of my patience and God will bring you back to a place where you suffered you. Want this. I want the only. Place I want to go to is Collegogo. I want to see the trophy seller, I want to see the five yard seller. I want to see some of those things that when I was hungry in this place. What have you been through Ayoko? What does Ayoko sell? Banco beans, doughnut soup, coconte. What jollof centre, Pepper kitchen, pepper chicken or kitchen? Chicken Kitchen. Wow. You see, one day I went to London and the accountant. The accountant. Of the church, he said that when I come to London, I don't generate any expenses for the church as I don't understand what you are saying, he said. Oh, when I come. I must. Go to a hotel. I must stay there. I must order wine, which will be about 100 and something pounds. The food that I eat will be 200 and something pounds. So that I would know through the accounts that I've come and these are the expenses that they have done on me for the accounts. So. That's explaining to them. I can't turn that what I have seen in this town, London, I ate only 1 LB dona kebab. This is what I'm used to because I've stayed here before. I couldn't get any money or food to buy, only the cheapest 1 LB. I calculated my 1 LB. I come there. And I put the 1 LB on one doughnut kebab meat and bread. And I eat, take it and I eat it. That's all. And I drink water from the tap and I'm going, yeah. Poor man so. As I'm grown up when I go. Back I'll say, please take me to that place. This one I know. I only know the cheapest that I'm not able to generate. Expenses for them. They have no expense, but I don't know all those expensive things. I don't even know where they are and that is how it is and I suffered there. I hate that in the time frame I hated. London, I said. I don't like this place. I've suffered too much, suffer hunger. You see how my look at my shoes? This is how my shoes was. But this, it was the front. This was the only shoe that I had when I go to. The Chet I go like this. You see that? I do something with them to cover on the stage and I woke up the day they made an announcement that all those plain instrument must wear jacket with a tie. I was told no, I didn't have and I didn't have money to have. In Latin town, one for one day, 1 LB one pound, 1 LB. One man to eat like that. Where am I going to get it? Where can I repair my shoe? I suffered there so when I came back to the land. God bless me, I came back to the land, ha. It's been an experience. I tell you to walk out of a place, I said Papa, and come back. And see that the Lord has brought you back to the land, You appreciate it. And you see that you, you cannot even develop the taste of a rich man because you are you, only you grew up. Unless you son, another spirit also enters you. Maybe you have desired certainties for years. And now that you have seen this is my opportunity. Hey, that's why some people when they are poor, they buy Benzes, at least an old, even an old one. They do repairs, repress, repress, even when they are buying petrol, engine, oil, Always repent both their dream has been benzed, their money benzed. That's true. So one day you will come back. The land where you suffered and you ask that. Do you know Iyoko? Do you know Joloff Center? Do you know Pepper Chicken Kitchen? You come to the school here, just up here. You call one of the students, you know Iyoko and say you are new. You are new. You tell the person it's not what you are learning, it's what have you been through, what have you survived? And you will tell that. Pass your exam. Pass your exam, but remember that it's not what you are learning, but what have you been. Through. And what have you survived? And you will say, do you know what is well of your patients? These are not inventions. These are things that will happen practically. Amen. How many will have realized that all the calls are words of patience #4 The call of Moses is a word of my patience. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to sea, God called unto him out of the midst of the Bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said here am I. Are you looking for the scripture Exodus? 3 Draw not nigh, hit her, put of thy shoes from of thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is the holy ground. Moreover, he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and I've heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters. For I know their sorrows, and I'm come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land, and a large unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. These are your branches who say I'm good, You have you have branches in Canaanites, branches among the Hittites, branches in the Amorite, branches in the perisites, branches in the Hivites, and branches in the Jebusites. What? A calling look at look at Moses's call he said I'm coming to give the land now therefore behold the cry even started with the call he started with the later ones he's now coming to the. Other one is that, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come unto me. I've seen the oppression, but with the Egyptians of the president, Come now, therefore I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my children, my people, the children of Israel out of Egypt. And Moses said unto God, who am I that I should go unto Pharaoh, that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? Amen. Now. You have been sent to save people out of Pharaoh's hand, Huh. Look at me, a medical doctor trying to deliver people from Pharaoh. All these years, it has not been easy for me to get people to leave Pharaoh. Oh, you have not thought about it, how many years I've been preaching. It's only when the lay pastors become old men and their businesses are not working, then they start to say I surrender. Oh, I surrender. Oh, oh to. Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender. Oh hey, look up Pastor Obi after he has done business and business and business and business before, he said. Eyes arena. To give my. Blessed change your eyes, Arena. Look at Bishop in temple. After, after he has done business, he has those hospitals, he has employed so many people investment. But every day you come and tell me today I've got X-ray machine. I said today I've got this machine. I said today I've got this other machine. It was when he went on admission the hospital, God spoke to him upstairs. He was taken to the VIP section. Yeah, who spoke to him? There he came. I surrender. Oh, today. My bad. He has gone to follow gynaecology, working, he has specialized here, here, here, here. So many things come to England, do so many get into so many difficulties. Then one day he called me. He said what? Hey, look at Lady Pastor Joy. Lady Pastor Joy, her doctor PHDI tried to extract her. I was able to extract her for one year. Then she boomed around back for 10 years. I'll be preaching. Then one day she sent me a text. Dear Bishop, what a shock. Me, God has anointed me all these years. I cannot easily extract. People from Pharaoh From the works of Pharaoh. And you, you get up. You have received such a word, you think that just. Tomorrow evening you will be delivering people from Pharaoh. Look at what I have suffered, what I have been through before, just one or two sprinkles. Can escape from Pharaoh through my ministry. It's not a small thing. It's a word of my patience. Look at Ida's husband. He himself has admitted that he's a priest. He himself has admitted. So I'm a priest my whole. Life work is priest, but he's waiting for something. Before he would call me to sing which song? So, dear friends, the word of my patience is a very real thing. It's not something you have to imagine tomorrow afternoon, like next week, next year, by January, by February. You have to have a long distance mind. You see, every war they give it a code name. So when Germany was going to invade Russia, they gave it a name. Operation Barbarossa. You get it after a certain queen who had lived some years. Before. And they, they, they, they, when they went, they had the mind that from June, I mean latest three months, four months, they would have finished with Russia. And they were, they were almost right, because 20 kilometers to Russia they were stopped and the weather dropped at more than 30°C. In one day. You know, so Hitler was staying. There's so many bad things that happened when they went and so on, but they were expecting to be there for just a short time. So when they were going, they've got winter cold. Because you cannot stay. Those of you have never been there winter, you cannot stand outside, especially a place like Canada. Your teeth will even be feeling cold. Your teeth will be feeling cold. You will see that your teeth are cold. Can you imagine? Your teeth are feeling cold. Yeah, so they decided to make winter coat, but they said so they made winter coats for 1/5 of the whole army because it wasn't like just something on the side, but not that everybody would need a winter coat to stay alive. Just a few, maybe some reason we need a few soldiers here and so on. So just one fifth. So instead of being ready for a long drawn out war, they were ready for just before we went up to December. Nothing beyond nothing through no winter. No, no. No, this one happened. There was nothing. Like that in mind. So when you are going in for a war and you don't have the mind of something that is going to be protracted and long, you don't have even psychologically. You know, preparation or even any other form of preparation that you need for that is not even with you. And that's the cause of the defeat of Hitler during the Operation Barbarossa. Yeah. It wasn't really that he was biting more than he could chew because he had a very good army, well prepared and militarily ready. And Stalin has executed all his generals. You see, before he had done what they called the Great Peg, He had pegged his army of all people he felt were against him. He had executed most of the top generals. There were just three or four left. Every There was no experienced soldier in the in the Russian army. Everybody was dead. So it was a good time to invade. Do you understand that they invaded and this one thing made them feel? That is why I'm taking my time. Because I could, I could, I could just close the camp and say that's it, word of my patience. Be patient when you go on the minister I'm taking my time to go through to show you everybody who got used, everybody who was called. The person was actually giving a word of my patience. Nobody was actually giving a word of my speech or a word of my tomorrow evening. It was a word of my patience. Yeah, it was a long term thing and when there's a long term thing you've rather converted into a short term survey on your mind, you are setting yourself up for another Operation Barbarossa defeat. May you never fall into such a defeat in Jesus name. Amen. So we are going to get Pharaoh to release people tomorrow. When you go and you start your time, don't start blasting doctors who are not you. See where I come from my pastor is a doctor. Doctor should be working full time for God. I need 3 doctors to come. All of them will leave your church tomorrow. You will not be left with even one doctor in your church. Not that the village Dr. The town doctor will not join your. Church, it's true. Meanwhile, the town, the medical officer in charge would have been in your church and the nursing officer in charge would have been in your church. Yeah, but because of your inpatient way of talking about you, you should be you should be full time. You doctors are supposed you are. You are. You are behaving like a fool. You are talking like a fool. Do you know what it will take before a doctor will come and work full time? It's a word. Of my patients, it's a word of my patients. Don't blast them and tell them in London people are coming to full time ministry. You are here in this village, you don't want to come to full time ministry. Bishop has LED medicine. What are you doing here? No, this ministry that you are being sent into is a taking time ministry, taking of your time. Are you listening to me? And with time, you'll be surprised. Amen. Then he went on to branches, a good land, a large land. A land flowing with milk and honey. Amen. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. A land flowing. A large land flowing with milk and honey. Oh, do you know the amount of Toffees you can make with milk and honey? A land flowing with milk and honey. It's going to take a long time before you see milk and honey. Well, God promised you milk and honey. It is true, it is true, but you need. To believe that it's a word of my patience. Now when one day Moses was taking the people out and one of the people came and accused Moses saying that he has not brought them down with me to them. Lack of milk and honey. Let's see what you promise us. It's not happening. Numbers Chapter 16 quickly. Verse 12 And Moses sang to call Dathan and Abraham the sons of Eliab, which said, We will not come up. And they said, Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and handy to kill us in the wilderness, except thou altogether make thyself a Prince over us? Then listen on. This is the vest that is one of the most important vestes in the whole band of verse 14. Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and hand. You have not brought us. That's the fact. That's the fact, That's the fact. You have not brought us. What you said has not happened. Yes, you've lied to us. It has not happened. Thou has not brought us into a land that flowers with milk and honey or giving us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out our eyes also? We will not come up. We will not come. How do you mean you have not brought us to a land that's. Blown with milk and Han. You. Said God, I called you to break. Take us to a land that's blown with milk, and you have not brought us to a land that is. Blown with milk and Han. Mercy, Lord have mercy. You see, my friends, you will be surprised to know that as you go on your calling, you will meet people that will tell you you did not bring us. You see, you said you were, but we. Have No, We are here practically. Where is it? Liar. You have not brought us. It has not happened. Oh, you said God has called you to set up a church. Where is the church? Where are the people? There's nobody. Just children. There's more boys and girls. Sunday School, Church. Where's the fire? Where's the members? Nobody has a car. Where's this? Every day is a mega. This and that. Where is it? You have not brought us. Into a land. You have not. That's a fact. Face the fact. Face reality. Stop hiding, stop pretending. You have not brought us. Hey, are you in the school too? You are with the media team. Which media? But you are not a pastor. You don't look like a pastor the way you are sitting there looking. Where are you from? Alegono. OK. You look morose, gloomy. You have not done it. I was accused. No miracles. I was accused. You are just an administrator. I was accused of. Anything that you can be accused, I've been accused of it and just think just freely think, just think freely. Anything you think of, I've been accused of it. I will not limit your mind to. This area, this area. Just think freely, extensively, think extensively. I've been accused of that before. Wow. Yeah, on this road. And you got to be ready for it. It's going to come. I'll read a letter to you. One night, listen to somebody's letter. Dear Bishop, I started following your teachings in the year 2000, but we were told in a pastor's conference not to associate ourselves with anything that. Has to do with you because you are a cult leader. One night in January this year, I tuned into Sweet Melodies and I heard you preaching. I quickly turned off the dial, but the Lord spoke to Mad and said go back and listen to him, he's my servant. I reluctantly tuned into the station as I listened to the preaching. The Lord spoke to me the second time. I said follow him, Never doubt anything he says follow him, he's my servant. Ever since then, I have been an ardent follower of your teachings. Forgive me, but I've recorded every message preached. Both are done and in the morning on Sweet Melodies and then he goes on and on and on and on. And then he said one day I was invited somewhere to meet with the revivalist or something. All right. And then he said I came face to face with such a revival. After after the prayer, I asked him to tell me what he had heard from the Lord. For me, I think a prophet. He started by saying the Lord has anointed you more than that you are mills and you are going to do more than he's doing. My heart, Mr. B that was afraid that something was about to happen to me and I asked him why my Bishop and not any other man of God, because it seems he's the one reigning spiritually. That is why he said. I asked him of his place of question, who his pastor is. He said I was once a member of Lighthouse, but by divine direction I've left that church. Lighthouse is not what many people think it is. It is a cult. There is a cancer in that church, he said. I said to myself, I have met a senior Orangu today. Amen. And on and on and on and on and on. You'll be surprised. You think that you're just going to do the work of God and you'll just be freely flowing around all over the place. You are going to meet things, Amen, that are going to be insulting, accusing. Do you get it? Yeah. And I'm going to tell you, you are not this. You are not. You are not a church. You're a cult today, practically the male. You are not a church. You're a cult. You're not a person. You're a cult leader. Wow. Is it not fantastic? Is it not amazing? Yeah, it is amazing. Amen. So I'm just telling you, those of you who feel suddenly everything's going to be all right, no number #4 how many people you called? You have 4-5 The call of Joseph. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren, and they hated him the yet more. And he said unto them, Pray, I hear thee, this dream which I have prayed we were binding. Sheaves. My sheep arose and stood upright. Your sheep stood around, made obeisance to my sheep. And his brethren said unto him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us, or shalt thou have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brother, a dream and dream more. And behold, the sun, the moon, and 11 stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father and his brother. And his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou has dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come down, and bow down ourselves, down ourselves to thee, to the earth? Amen. But in Genesis 44, verse 14. That was said, Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, for he was yet there, and they fell before him on the ground. It happened practically. Now shalt thou indeed reign over us, or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us. You can be sitting in this church, on this camp, and one day you will be the Presiding Bishop of Oberleidos, just here. And some of us may be old and we'll be sitting down watching you doing things. It's possible. He said that. Will I come and bow down? My father and all of us come and bow down? Will you reign over us? Is it possible? It's possible, yeah. How many? Find it difficult to imagine? Unbelievable, isn't it? It's possible. Very, very possible. God is fantastic. One day one of you could be the leader of Anacazo school. You have rich experience of ministry. Amen. Is it possible? Is it fantastic? Is it going to happen? It's happening practically. You are going to be very great, but it's almost impossible to see by looking at. You, you need to have the wisdom and understanding of the Lord to know that, look, this thing, it's going to happen practically. Is the word of his patience, Is the word of his patience the word of my patience. Amen. During your graduation, the Archbishop Duncan Williams came there. What did he say? He said. What did he say? He said he does not only just call me a son, but also a friend. And I had learned. He even learned things from me. Yeah, you see. But years ago, I start in his church. I went up to him. I said pray for me. I speak. In tongue and I'm not sure whether it's tongues he prayed for. How? No, I must have been spiritually just, receive Holy Spirit baptism just. And he prayed for me. He had already been to Bibles, who was already qualified as a pastor, and he prayed for me that one day he would say that I learned from this or this, this. Little boy here is my friend. Wow. You see that it takes years. Ecclesia When was I in Achimoto School 1979, 197879 Huh. Yeah. Where were you? Where were you in 1979? You are not in existence when I met Archbishop Dunker Williams. You have not yet been born. So I mean, when God many years ago, a pastor put his. Hand on my, on my shoulder and he said God is going to use you. This must have been nothing less than 19791980, he said. God. Is going to use you. God is going to use you. Wow. He he put his eyes that God is going to use you. What does it mean? Are you there? Are you listening to me? Yeah. God is going to use you. So these things, they are words of my patience. Who? Yeah, words of my patience. Yeah. I had a dream holding a torch years ago. I was holding a torch, Yes. Before the torch and the sword had been written. I was holding a torch. That I was. Leading people or somebody had a dream and saw me holding a torch and came and told me. See me holding a torch and leading people. I was in Achmata school years ago, no? I was in low assets which is. 1980 October 1980. The word of my patience. Yeah, somebody saw me with it before the torch and the sword had been written. So you must approach the intentions of God. You know, recently I was with Archbishop Duncan Williams and he prayed a prayer. He prayed for either me or for all of us. And he said Lord let the intentions that were originally destined for all of us. Happen and I realized that it's a very important prayer because sometimes the intentions of God, like Joseph, it could easily not have happened, but the intentions of God was that all his brightness and sisters would come and bow down to him. This was the plan of God. He threw it to him as a child that one day and the whole life was lived for that day. When they came to bow down, that was the fulfillment of his life's vision. And sometimes your vision of your life is fulfilled in just one day. It has. Happened. When something happens, then your calling has been fulfilled. Yeah, it's possible. It's possible for you to come back to Collegona. You you are not interested in Iocor, you are interested in regal Chinese restaurants or you are eating at Golden Tulip Hotel Shabaya. Or you are eating at Ambassador Hotel Holiday Inn. You are not interested in IOCOR or kitchen pepper Pepper kitchen or job centre. What is job centre? You will say what is job centre? I remember when I was under torment and I prayed to God for just 50 pesos so that I can go to the job centre. The. Law. My God has done it. It will happen. Practically. You pass by all these places. This is where I suffered. There are places in London. I just went there just to see the place. I remember my even right now there's some place I want to go there. There is a hostel. I stayed in there. My friend stayed in that hostel. He told me, he said, look, when I came to this place, he said it was winter time. The temperature was -4°. He said I went to Bath and he said that I didn't know how to turn on the hot water. When I turn it on, I didn't know that you 10 and 10 and 10 and 10 and it becomes hot at the end. So he said he turned it on. The water is like a river water, river water with ice in it, he said. I bath with the ice every day. What have you been through? I've met him recently. He took me to that place. He showed me that this is a place you can stay. Here. I've slept on buses before me. I've slept on bus. I didn't have somewhere to stay. Yeah, I stepped in a bath. There was nowhere to stay for me. Moving around. No food? No, no, nothing. Yeah, till Daybreak when I see them as a home. Know this? So God can change everything round. One day you'll be working. You'll tell a young man this is not how to dress. Have you been abroad before, Sir? Have you been? You've not been abroad before? You've not sat on a plane before. You see, it will happen. Practically, yes. I go. A pastor put his hand on me, said God is going to use you. When I went to Korea, this time of Ito said something to me. I said, wow, I put it in my heart. I just put it in my heart. Amen. I just put it in my heart. It's a word of patience. Are you going to rain over us? There's no way you can rain, but one day you may be raining. All of us will be sitting down. We will even be happy to see you so that our sons. We wouldn't even call you sons. You. Will call us fathers, but a father was to call his sons sons. They are not correct sons. That's true. You see one day a certain woman, she was having a a funeral and they're different, different children from different fathers. So the family people, they call one of the ladies, the young ladies, and they told her, your mother is from this place. And she told them, my mother is this woman here who has looked after me all these years. I don't know any other mother. She's my mother. So they went to the real Madam and they told her that this lady says you are her mother and the the mother spoke a wise saying, she said. If she says. That I am her mother, then I am her mother. If she says something because she was brought to me when I was two year, when she was two years old and I've looked after her order, if she recognizes that I am her mother, then I am her mother. But I will not say it. I will not say that she's my daughter. But if she says. That I am a mother, then? I am a mother. Yeah, Because she was brought to me from the age of two. I looked after her and I brought her. You see, if you grow up and you say this my father, it's different from when we have said my son, this, my son, this my son. You really? Hear me calling. Somebody, my son. Have you heard me saying my son, it's common. Even my son, my daughter. Poor people, my son and my daughter. I don't usually go to my son and my daughter. It's not common. Yeah. If you you were brought at the age of 2, you realize that I'm your father, then so be it. It is a very. Wise. Lady, that's why she said that. So one day you may be sitting here and saying my father's of the fathers who helped us will help us to climb out of the dust. People meet us when we go, when we travel at airports, shake hands. This year it started to happen. People started to meet me at airports, crowds. It started from January this year. Yeah, it has never happened to me before all. My life have been nobody meet me at the I mean the one or two people coming, but crowds clapping vanis it started this year yeah. Even even recently when I went to Trinidad. The whole airport, everybody was to. The whole place was full of. People right that lighthouse, people filled the airports clapping to welcome me to Trinidad. That is not how I went to Trinidad the last time. Yeah, the last time. I just came quietly. Streets line up with people cheering, don't know who, who is it who has come? I'm telling you different places. But you see when he goes as the sun and the moon will bow down to you and you start going as are you the sun, You are the sun or the moon? Are you the sun or the moon or you are supposed to bow, bow, bow, bow, bow. Now Hallelujah. Amen. We are blessed number six. The call of Joshua needed patience. It was also a word of patience. Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that it came to pass that the Lord speak unto Joshua, saying, Moses, my servant is dead. Now arise, go over this Jordan, Joshua Wan Wan thou and all these people to the land which I do give them. Wow. Every place at the soul of your pucha tread that have I given unto you. Hey, you see, it sounds so fantastic. Just step and then you have it. Just step and then you have ID. It's not. It's not just like that. It's in the end it will be true. But it's not just as simple as that's. Yes for me, yes for me, yes for me, yes for me, yes for me, yes for me. Everybody will just give it to you like that. No, it's not like that. There shall not be any man able to stand before the all the days of their life. As I was with Moses. I will be with thee. I will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Be strong enough for good courage, for unto this people shalt thou divide, and inheritance only. Be thou strong, very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law that my Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn not to the right or to the left, that thou mayest prosper with us. So ever thou goest. Amen, thou from the wilderness and this Lebanon, which is up and to the and to the great river, even the river Euphrates all. The long even see that is the river is the Euphrates. It's in Iraq. Israel was stretching all the way to Iraq. This will to the great river Euphrates, those the original boundaries of Israel that are written in the Bible. It's not at all what they are having now. The boundaries have been spreading and spanning. After the 6th day war 1967 they expanded and took the whole of Jerusalem, added all those places, took different places but they keep on from 194745 till now. They keep on fighting and adding more. In 1967, they had fought for six days and added the Golan Heights, which was in the northern Syria, added some other places, Jerusalem, expanded towards Bethlehem and all that. Recently given some, I mean, it's not the original boundary to the great Euphrates River. Iraq is on top of Israel, on top of Israel is Syria on the left, Damascus. When Paul Jose was going to Damascus, he was going straight north of Israel and then spread out to Damascus. At the top and on the side there is Lebanon. These are the borders above it, from this Labour month up to the great River is Chirac. There's a very step noise for you. You are going to fight my sister. And, and, and Joshua knew it. He knew he was going for a big fight of his life. He knew he was going to struggle. He knew it was going to be a long Valhalla before it's over in his life. Amen. Are you listening? Amen. So I want you to know that God's vision for you is great. Now somebody may ask, why don't we reduce the vision a bit so that it's not requiring too much patience? Why don't we lower the vision a bit? So that not too much patience is. Required. Do you get it? Are you with me? I'll tell you why you see many. Things that God is going to accomplish, He's going to accomplish through a series of people, which includes you. Do you see? You live too short. To fully accomplish the real will of God, your life is. Too short SO. We have to accomplish the will of God through a series of people. That's why when you separate yourself, you quarrel against sound wisdom. Do you understand? Yeah. When you separate yourself, you are quarreling against all. Forms of sound wisdom. That you you should have had. So you live too short and you minister too short to accomplish the fullness of God's will. So you need a lot of people who are living to help you and. Those who are. Coming to join to help accomplish so when God was saying all this land I'll give to you your servant you will be this a great nation, I'll make you it included his descendants and those who are going to come after to fulfil that vision. So some kind of vision that you have. You may even be laying the foundation when God says that this entire village shall be, shall fall to you and to the gospel. Let me it includes you and your associate and your branches and those who will come after and your children and some other people who will be there when you are gone. Yeah, that is one of the reasons. And the second reason why God does not lower the vision is that. Usually you fall short of whatever you aim at. So if you aim low, you, you fall very low. So you always have to aim high. So you, you, you, you must always aim for the ideal. The ideal are the stars, they are up in the sky, so you aim for the stars. But the reality is the land. What you are actually start working on? So you have to aim for the ideal, but there's the real of what you will really experience, you understand? Yeah. So when when Papahagan said he must spread this word to the nations and all that, it included me. I'm part of Papahagan's calling. I'm part of Papahagan's calling right here in Ghana. I'm an extension of what he came to do on the earth as I'm continuing even the Basel Mission in Switzerland, which established this very church which we are in. I am a continuation of the Basel Mission. Also, if if you can receive it for the Basel Mission. My mother is from Basel to Switzerland. Do you understand the right the street? Even our house at OSU where we live is called Mission Street Ext. Basel Mission came to Ghana, The Basel Mission that came to Ghana. They are the mission, Basel Mission that brought the gospel to Ghana. 1843 somewhere there they built where we are working now. This is a new building, but this is the first church they have. I think this is the first church in. Ghana, this one, Yeah, yeah. It included me. They started missions to the whole world today when you go to Basel Mission Street in Basel, Switzerland. The whole Basel mission is now in a wardrobe downstairs, underground, in a hotel, because the mission has been turned into a hotel, a business, and there's a wardrobe downstairs, underground where they keep the. Files and the cabinets of the records of all the missions you see. So that has ended. But a Swiss woman, do you understand, met a Ghanaian and gave birth to me. And here I am working in the same lesson. Missionaries here, missionaries here, missionaries here all over. So it's continuing. So recently we had a match, a symbolic match, We went to both and we marched there. And it's like the missions that they came to Ghana to start the mission and bring Christianity to Ghana. It is in Ghana that Christianity is brought back, in Switzerland is finished. So if they have not come here, these missionaries and the churches which exist now. So that whole personal mission would have just been the wardrobe there. But now it is Ghana and all the missionaries and then even some to come back. Is it not? Amazing. So many times your calling is not just you, but it's involving. So that's why we don't have to break relationship. That's why the Bible say he that separated himself seeketh his own desire and quarrels against all sound wisdom. But when I separate myself from me, I'm quarrying against sound intelligence. Because you are. Part of me. You are part of my calling. I'm part of Papa Hagen's calling. I'm part of the Basel mission. I'm, I'm a mixture. Just like, you know, even your seed, you, some of you don't even know where you are really from. You know, you don't even know where you are from because some of your fathers are not your father, you think. And sometimes your father is a mixture of this and that, that and that, this and that all together makes you. So we are spiritually also mixed chess, basil mission, Kenneth Hagin, ministry, scripture, union. So many seeds have been put in, combined together, then it's forming something, I'm telling you. So that is. Why these big, big, wild, high callings are mentioned over people? Because your calling is not just you, it's you and others. It's you and others who will come. It's you to end to what God really wants to do. And #3 the third reason why God gives you this fantastic calling is because that is exactly what He's going to do. It will happen practically. The Bible says this is the hand of the Lord that is stretched out to do it. Who can disarnoule it? Who can turn back His hands? God has decided to do it. His web is stepped and He will do it with you or without you. Ain't it so? You must not separate yourself when God has great callings for you. Amen. You must understand this. It's a long thing and that is why we have to relate till death coffins must separate us. Death graveside is where we say goodbye. We say goodbye at the graveside, not before. You don't. Say bye bye to. Me until I'm in my grave or until you are in your grave. When you say on your grave, then that is bye bye. But until then, we are together. We have to be together to the end because your calling is connected to my calling. My calling is connected to your calling. How many are understanding the fantastic callings of God? Amen. OK, before we take the next one, we are going to take a break for 5 minutes because today. I'm just giving you the call of God, Amen. And then after that, tomorrow for a short time, I'm going to give you the other side of it. It has two parts, Amen. So let's take a break for a few minutes, 5 minutes to give you a break to use the toilet or whatever. Stretch yourself. We come back because we are not going very late. This is a camp. I told you the message I would have given you during the graduation. I cannot give this kind of message. They will be tired, you know. So I have to bring you here to tell you that it's a word of. My patience. Hallelujah. Amen.
