Sinoton all right, is it correct? Give her a clap offering how many are ready to build your newest act and finish your newest act? If it is only seven members, I wonder. I want those seven members. Sham countries like Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Israel, all those people came from Sham Jaffer countries like England, Europe, Asia, all those countries came from Jaffe. So you would have killed the whole world by not finishing the act. You would have killed out the whole the whole world. So is there any town in South Africa that we don't have a church? Can I hear? Is there any town in South Africa that we don't have a church? Javan where? Beta marriage back Mafia Cain cock Star, Soweto, Georgetown, King Williamstown, Queenstown, Jabyton, Moquito's Rest, Upington Vendor. Jameston where? Ibuka. Where are we going to? When are these people going to be safe? The people that are there are not ghosts. They are human beings whom Christ died for. They are not forgotten ghosts. Can I have an Amen? Are you there? Yeah. So we have to finish it. We got only 7 out of 100. That's where we are. We are at number 7 and we are going to #100 Did you hear me? I said we are at 7:00 and we are going to #100 Don't stop in the middle. Amen. Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop. One day there was a certain man and he told his son. One of the things that he advised his son told his son, when you are angry, don't do anything. Just count up to 10 so that the anger will go. And if you are very angry, count up to 100. Hey, father's there. Why? So you see, and that's what I'm telling you today. Count up to 100. Yeah. And you have counted up to seven. And you are about to stop and do something else. So one day the son went hunting. Do you want to hear the rest of the story? I'll tell you the story. So I've told you Part 1. I'll finish. Don't worry, I'll finish the story. How can I not finish when I'm preaching about finishing? Come and sing a song for us. Yeah, yeah, or whatever #3 once they get themselves organized. How many reasons do you have? OK, OK, OK, OK, we are #3 we are less than three. OK, next one less than 4. Everything that has to be said all right and done so that the judgment of God can be completed and can so that the judgment of God can come must be done in all right. Everything that must be completed must. That must be said, that must be said, that must be done. You see, before hell and heaven can break loose, before the final judgment can happen, there is a certain amount of preaching, a certain amount of something that must be done, Amen. Otherwise you cannot have the judgment. Amen. Did you get the point? No. Everything that has to be said. Right that So that. Have you got that? The judgment of God can come, must be said and must be done. Every, every preaching that has to be preached in Kenya so that fire can bend, the rest must be done. Because until you've taught somebody the whole syllabus, you cannot do the exam. So everything that has to be taught on physics on this and that has to be taught before so that the exam and the judgment can start. And God is expecting us to finish all that we are. We are doing so that the judgment can come. All right, Daniel Chapter 9, verse 24. OK, OK, OK, good. I want us to finish all these 24 reasons just now. Finish it fast. 70 weeks are determined upon thy people, Daniel Chapter 9, verse 24. 70 weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression you understand, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. OK, All right. I'm tired, so sing. There's no shame. Used to spend my whole life trying to figure me out, blaming everybody but me. I used to love to listen to people talking about in stand remedy. I just kept on trying but it doesn't mean I've changed. But it seemed like all the answers to what I wanted to be. Never reply to me. So when I came to Jesus, tired of our end of life, I asked him just what to do. Said we're starting over, no more looking inside. The answer is not in you. This is the beginning I want. I want to be. He's changing me completely every day. I can see Jesus working in me to finish what you started in me. I like what I see. Oh, I love it again. I love it. Help me sing this one. Finish once you started in me. I like what I see. Finish once you started in me. Long because I love. I love what you do with me. I love it. Yeah. I love it. Let's sing it again. Finish what you started. Finish what you started in. I love what I see. Finish what you started in your life. I love. I love what you do with it. Oh, love it. I love it. I love everybody. I used to spend my whole life trying to figure me out, saving everybody for me. Used to love to listen to people talking about inside everything. I just step from my hand. It seems like all the answers what I wanted to be never like me when I came to Jesus tired of black and alive. I asked him just what to do said we're starting over. No one looking inside the answer. It's not in you. This is the beginning of war. I want to be here. It's changing me completely every day. I can see it's Jesus working in me. I'll be singing. Finish what you saw. I like what I see. Oh yes, I do. I love it. Yes I do. That's the I like what I see. I love to do when it is for your sight. I love it. Yes, I love it. What to do with having it again with it? What is going I like? Finish what you started. Finish what you started in I love what I believe. Finish what you started in I love. I love what you do when it means. I love what you do. When it do I love it. I'll be singing one more time. Finish what you started. What you started. I like what I see. Hey, finish what you started. I love it. I love. I love what you do. Come on. Let us. What's funny. Finish what you started. I like what I see. Here's what to do with it. I love it 'cause I love it. Oh, I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I know what you do. For the last time, finish. What is starting? I like what I see. What is starting now? What you doing? Number less than 5. How many like what you see already? Because already you can see that God has done something. You see, that's what I'm saying. I love what I see. I can see that He's changing me and He's changing things. I like what I see. But Lord, finish. I must finish. Peter, you have to finish what you started to do with your life. Yeah, you started. You just started and you got to finish it your whole life. It will take your whole life to finish. When you lie down and you knock the coffin, Coco, Coco. And you realize, don't forget when you are in a coffin, check to see that it's a real coffin. Check the side. Knock the side, the left side, the right, and the up. When you realize that all sides are covered, then you know that it is real. Then you finish. Then you just relax and go. But until then, now we must constantly rebuke ourselves for thinking that we have finished something that we have not finished at all. Amen. Are you there? You are there, OK #4 you must finish building every House of God that has been started. Just like Zechariah said. All right, Just like Zechariah was told, All right, Zechariah said. The hands of Zerubbabel Zechariah, chapter 4, verse 9. This is a prophet, Zechariah. He's saying he's prophesying. That's the same prophecy that God has given to you. The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands also shall finish it. And thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts have sent me unto you. Amen. They are all Zechariah. Chapter 4, verse 9, the hands of Zerubabel, You see, Zerubabel was also building the temple. Starting something is one event, finishing it is another. That's why God told me, pray that you may finish. As for starting something, I have started, have I not started a lot of things, started this, started this, started it, but it's not complete. And so I have to have in my mind and my heart. To finish what God has started doing and all of us must not have the sudden death spirits or mentality, sudden spiritual death mentality, you know, sudden death. When somebody like somebody is playing tennis, he do like that then he dies. There are some people who die when they are serving heart attack. One guy, his friend, died like that. He was playing tennis. He littered the ball up and he died whilst he was giving the stroke. Yeah. So he stopped playing tennis. What he was afraid of, he was afraid of tennis from that game. Yeah. That's how people have heart attacks. It is called sudden and abrupt endings. Now in the spirit we have in soccer, we have sudden death in the extra time. Well, if you score a goal, that's the sudden end of everything. The match has ended. We are going to play 30 minutes extra, 6 minutes after that's the end, it's over. Now some of us have that sudden spiritual death spirits and I will talk about that. There are things that make us conk out suddenly when we were working well and we should have finished what we started. There are things that we can do that can spoil what God has started here in South Africa. We can spoil it, but thank God for love, maturity, which helps us to carry on. Amen. All right, the hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation, his hands also shall finish it one day. I started to complain to God. I said Lord all the churches I start have not grown. Felt so sad because I started in at Chimotya School, then I started at Lagan, then I started at Kolibu and everything was a little something and I was complaining. But you see, there's a time to lay foundations. Foundations are not big things, they are not impressive. But one day you will build on it and roof it and everybody will see it. You get it? Yes, it's 21 years now. 20 years ago you started a church? Yeah, 1988. At the beginning of 1988, the 20 years have gone by. You get it. It takes a long time, you see. But when you are building a foundation, you don't expect to see much. And you must understand there are two different things. When we send you out to go and start a church, we are sending you to lay a foundation. We are not sending you to become Pastor Mosa Sonu. The next Mosa Sono of South Africa. You are not going to be the next Mosa. Do you know Mosa Sonu? You're not going to be the next Mosa Sono of anything. Stop having imaginations, don't be spooky. Just go and start the church. Stop having delusions. You understand you have been sent to do something to build an act for seven people. 70 people we have a micro church is less than 30. A mega church is from 31 to 70. And if you have 71 members upwards is a miracle church. Yeah. What do you think? Is it a good thing? Yeah. You have not been sent to become the next Ray Macaulay of South Africa. Stop having dreams. Just go and start. That's what. Tell us what? Say just go. What? What is What are you asking? And I I kept quiet. He didn't understand my question, but I knew God wanted me to ask that question so that he would say what He said. Don't over spiritualize and be mystical and so mysterious. I had it in my right ear. Then I had it in my left ear. Unusual. When I hear from my left ear, then it means that it is from God. And the devil speaks on the right side and God speaks on the left ear. Hey, no, just accept the humble job of laying a foundation and you can see even our church, we are blessed to see foundation. Somebody come to continue. Somebody does it. Somebody we are blessed to see it with our eyes. The church that I started and I passed it for many years. Today I handed it. It was very difficult for me because that was my church. Every Sunday I preach and I have my members. They love me. That's why they are in the church. They love me, they like me. When is my birthday? They send me gifts. I have to hand it over and say you be the pastor, you are the pastor, you are the pastor. Everybody look, look at him. Mr. Pastor, I'm nothing. Don't look at me. Don't think about me. And now on Sunday morning I have no chance to go to. And so when they were giving me the data, we had a meeting last at the end of the year. They were showing me how about 5 star including all the chapels and different 5000 on Sunday morning attendance. I was amazed. I said wow, it's great. I never counted this as our numbers and I wanted to count more numbers. I'm always giving them ideas because now I'm this thing backbencher. I'm now playing reserve. So a foundation, you are not there to see that. Can you believe that we built the Kardashian very beautiful chair that is in the Architectural Magazine of Ghana. An architect came, the senior architect. This is an architectural masterpiece. I was laughing in my head. I never was the pastor of that church for even a day. Never. Yeah, because I finished my part and move on to do something else. You don't need to be thinking about certain things. Do you get it? Then I became an evangelist of who I don't know. Who? Come to listen to me evangelize. Yeah. Is it not fantastic? Yeah. So you too. Don't be too concerned. Some of you, God is just sending you to do foundation, the foundation of Libya, Sudan, Egypt, Morocco, Ethiopia. That is Ham. You are just to protect the foundation of something. So that's why I said the hand that laid the foundation is the hand that shall build. It is even something unusual or sometimes it's a blessing you should pray for, but sometimes the hand that lays the foundation is not the hand that will finish it. Plus, Pastor Kingsley is the one who started the actual start of the work here. It's just Pastor Kingsley, but he is not here to finish it. He's not in Nigeria. Lay more foundations with some wild guys in some different states of Nigeria. They have been sending me texts. This is something states, something I've never heard of all those places before and Pastor Casey is always sending me texts. We are pressing on. We have one soul today. We've had a service in different states, but he's not here to enjoy the glorification of the South African church and the good offerings and gifts that you have today. What do you think? That's how we are. We are working. We are not here. We have the whole of eternity to enjoy praises and pat on our head. Well done. Oh, you are nice. Oh, you are good. We like you. All the angels are praising you. Eternity. We will listen to those things in heaven. When this is when we go to heaven. They say you, I'll say sing my praises. You sing my praises, but over here when you hear somebody congratulating you, should not. You should be very. This should be very. It's a very dangerous thing for people to clap for you. When I came, you people were clapping for myself, man. These people, they want set down to come for my heart. They are clapping for me. I won't mind anybody in the church. It's very dangerous. But clap as if you are a hero. His messes are over. All his words. You know the message of God. What? I've carried you to be there. That's the truth. His message is not over. You will look at you sitting here and you, is it not His message? Yeah, His message. So when they are clapping for you, they are clapping for what? Clap for the message of God. And the power of this mercy is love. Amen. So some people will lay only foundation. Some people will actually lay the foundation and then finish it. Some people will enjoy the foundation time and enjoy the finishing time as well. But some people only lay the foundation. And some people, their work will be only foundation, foundation, foundation, foundation, foundation. All their life is foundation. But when you see, they look the most wary Ghosts of all, huh? Yeah. And many of us are going to lay foundations. Some of us will see the end of it, some of us will see the middle of it. But whatever little job that we have been asked to do, we're going to do it with all our hearts. So if your job is to lay 21 foundations, then please lay the 21 foundations if yours is to. So maybe for you, the finishing of your work is to finish 21 foundations, not to finish completing 21 churches, but to lay 21 foundations. Things that can grow. Do you get it? Yeah, but others can come and build some people. Your finishing is to lay the foundation and to take it up to the top. Yeah. And that is the reality of the work that we are doing. So all of us must galvanized our hearts together and say we are going to do what God has asked us to do whilst we are here. And I tell you one of these is I'm, I'm going to have a camp. The camp is is about blessings and cases, but it's more about cases, blessings and cases. So when I start the camp, everybody will be think will be learning about blessings and cases till the end of the camp. The last case of the camp is the case for those who don't work for God, He said. And all these cases, Sir, come upon thee, because thou wouldest not serve the Lord thy God with gladness for the abundance of all things. You wouldn't serve Him. Therefore, all these cases, not that he dishonored your father, your mother only, but you wouldn't serve the Lord. So at the end of when? You hear that camp, you, you'll be listening, people will be laughing, they'll be happy. So honor your father, this, your case of not this, this, this, that, different, different type of cases. They will say I'm not in this, I'm not in this to the last one. Then we enter the real camp, because thou wouldest not serve the Lord thy God with gladness for the abundance of all things. He was going to bless you abundantly with all things. Amen. So serve Him. Lay a foundation. Lay 100 foundations. Lay 10 foundations. Lay 5 foundations if that's what you have to lay. Lay 6 foundations. Lay a foundation completed if that is what we are supposed to do, But do it. Oh, Zerubbabel. The. Hand that laid the. Foundation is the same hand that will finish it. I am sure. By the time that when I die, there will be some uncompleted buildings because I'm always building, somebody will have to finish some and some of the things. At least what I'm supposed to finish. I pray that I will live to finish it. Amen. How many reasons do you have? Less than six number, Less than 6. Less than six, we are going. To the next one, less than six, we must go to every town. And every city. That we are sent to before our time is up. Amen. We must finish going to every town. That's why we must finish. We must finish going to every town. There are fat towns on our shadows. You understand? So we must finish going to. All towns. And all cities that are part of Our Calling before we die. Amen. Matthew chapter 10, verse 23. It says that when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another. For verily I say unto you, You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of Man become. You see, you will not have gone. To all, all cities of Israel till the Son of Man comes. So Jesus was telling them, do not waste time with unwilling and unwelcome people and places. Go where you are welcome. Because you will not even finish all the cities in Israel. Since I started doing evangelism, I realized that I will not finish all the cities and the towns. Because even the towns in Ghana alone we cannot finish how much more all the towns in West Africa, East Africa, war-torn place. That's why we don't waste our time with places where they are fighting. If we are fighting, we won't come there. That's all. Yeah, if you are fighting we. Won't come there because we don't know what will happen there. So we only go where there's peace, because even the ones that there is peace, we won't finish. How much more would we add? The struggle to go where there's war. So we, we will not finish. Going over all the cities of South Africa and the towns and the townships, and you mentioned only important towns, that there are places that are, that have people that they don't mention, but there are very important places. Amen. Hallelujah. I went to a town called Dunkirk Room. Last year, last. Two years, but just about a year ago, very poor. The people sleep. Their dust is like their blankets when they lie in the floor like that sand people see grown-ups. Sand is like their blankets. It's like their mattress. You haven't seen something like that before. You see people who are really in the Stone Age. And Jesus Christ died. For all of them. And we wouldn't finish going everywhere till Jesus comes. So we must have in our minds to accomplish every city in question, every city that God has for us to visit and to go to Amen number six less than seven. We must count the cost and. Pay the. Price so. That we. Can finish Our Calling. We must count the cost. Count the cost and pay the price and look chapter 14 verse 28 it says for which of you intending to build a tower Amen. Sitteth not down 1st and counted the cost whether he have sufficient to finish it. Amen. Do you have sufficient pastors to finish this calling? If not, you must have a lot of camps. Swaziland who are? Those from Swaziland, Swaziland, raise your hand up. Stand up. Swaziland. Anybody from Swazi. Oh, good, good, good. You from Swaziland? How many towns do we have in Swaziland? All of you in What's the name of the town again? Manzini. Are you all in Manzini? From where, Babani. Who is from Manzini? Raise your hand. Who is from Babani? And you are from where? Another town. How many towns do you have churches in? Four towns. How many? Towns do you have in Swaziland? A lot of towns. I thought it was a small country. Lot of towns. You see now? So, brother, are you serious about finishing? Then? You, you, you see, then more people should have come from your church for the camp. Yeah. If you are serious, you see you must count the cost you get it Of finishing. You can start it, but to finish it equally finishing. The cost of finishing is as wild as starting. So if you are serious about. Finishing, then you must seriously count the cost of building a church. So if you are pastor and don't have many people here from your time because Swaziland is not so far away, more of you could have come and more people could have come. There are more on the way coming. OK. I hope they get here in time. You get it. Are you there? There is a cost to. Finishing this work. And that cost Do we have enough pastors, shepherds? Do we have enough camps? Do we have enough training? Do we have enough anointing? Do we have enough sacrifice in the system? Do we have enough full time people, lay people? Who do we have? There is a cost for us to finish the work. So those of you who are saying just we must finish what we've started, you have to count, calculate, not just be singing songs. I like what I see. What do you see that you like it? Give me one of your chance over here. Can can can somebody clean the? Chair because there are some white spots and I don't know what it is. His messes are over all his works. There is no shame. At all, you may scream. Look, you have to count the cost of filling Swaziland with churches. Yeah, you cannot fill Swaziland with churches by preaching about prosperity. Because when people. Have more and more desire to for prosperity, it's. Contrary to desire. To work for God. As I'm saying, I don't have a desire for. Prosperity. But I'm prosperous, and the more I do the work of God, I become more prosperous, fantastically more prosperous than all those who are trying to be prosperous. It is mysterious now, those who are aiming for it and those who are working for it and studying it. If you listen to me speaking, you. Realize that I have some small understanding of economics, yeah. No, I'm not trying to have an. Understanding of economics. Those who say they understand. Economies, they cannot explain it. So there's a cost. If you want to finish the tower, you cannot finish the tower with these six people here 123456. And your your wife will not count. It because she's one flesh with you. So you and her is equal to 1. Yeah, OK, 6. People want to fill the whole. Of Swaziland, Two other back, one other two other back. It's still less than than, less than. Is he not the one who was saying there? Are so many towns in Swaziland, so many towns in Swaziland? How do you think we have? We have, We have pastors. We have camps. We are this, this one. We are not here. We are not here to get money. We are not. Here to sell things. We are here to suffer. There's no shame. There's no shame in suffering, You may scream. We are here to develop ourselves, to do Gods work in a certain powerful way. We are here to pay the price to build the House of God. So if you are serious. You cannot come here with eight people and say that our vision is to fill the whole of Swaziland, which they haven't counted the cost because how many camps do we have in a year or in two years or three years? Because I came here because I had a dream, but if I have not had a dream, I wouldn't have come here. I cannot deceive you. His messes are, over all his. Works. Yes. Many people who are missionaries you became missionaries and decided to work for when you listen to camps, is it not true? Yeah. Or when you attend camps, that's. What even takes the descent? Desire. I want to work for God. I want to do so. So if you are you, you cannot be serious. You cannot be serious. I'm very serious about. Filling Ghana and filling anywhere I can get a space with churches. We've got a Bible school with over 600 people and we are planning to finish that school, to build a beautiful school, to finish what we started. Every day we feed them. Everybody who is in the school every day, we teach them, we pay electricity, we pay water. Do you see? We feed them, we pay. Lectures, facilities, it's not a small thing. It's more than all the people here every day, because we are. Dead. Serious to fill the place with churches and pastors. See you die Ready to die, people. Oh. If you want to finish your tower. You got to pay a price. Can't sit here and just be singing. I love what I see. What? What do you see? What? Do you see? I see only 8. People here less than 9 Sit down Zambians. Stand up now, Zambia and Swaziland. Which one is far away? Zambia. How many? Miles away are. You. 2000 did you drive? Here. How far is it from? Swaziland, brother Swaziland, please stand up, and then sisters and brother from Swaziland also stand up. 1/2. 345-C. 7. 89101112131415161717 people less than 18 Where's the 18th person? You see now. The person has gone to sleep. 1234, are you there? 18 OK, they have brought. Where is Swaziland? How many kilometers from here? It's about four hundred 400 kilometers. Somebody is 400. Kilometers from here, he has come with less than eight people. And somebody is 2. 1000 kilometers away and he has come with 18 people, which of? These two is more. Serious about filling their country with churches? How many things? The one from Swaziland is more serious. Raise your right hand. No, it's a it's a democracy. How many things that they want from Zambia is more serious about filling Zambia with churches? Pastor Andy, it's obvious. Are you seeing that? I didn't say, though the people are the one who are saying that. I didn't say. A lot of people are saying that Zambia is more serious. About having 100. Churches in Zambia than. Less than 101. Churches in Zambia, is it not true? It is true because the Bible says if anyone wants to finish, he must count the cost. He must know the cost. What did? It cost you to build a church. What did you, what made you go to another country to build a church? Was it money? Were you looking for money? No. Bishop. Were you looking for treasures? Not at all. Broken glass. What were you looking for? Souls. Something brought you here all the way from your comfort zone. Why don't you think about that also? So I'm just. Saying that, it's not just. Say with your mouth, I like what I see. You have to be wild. Amen. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes. Or you don't. Understand the message I'm. Preaching Saddam Zimbabwe. Where are the people from Zimbabwe, Godwin? Are you suffering from President Mugabe's problems, Shortages. You. Have brought only two people. From Zimbabwe 3 Here we have less than 6. Where are the other Zimbabweans? Are they are feeling sleepy? There is no shame at all. In feeling sleepy OK. Let us compare Zimbabwe with Malawi. Malawi has to stand up. It seems Zimbabwe is more serious than Malawi. Zimbabwe, Malawi has only two. People less than three. How many will agree that Zimbabwe is more serious about failing Zimbabwe with churches than Malawi? The people have voted against you, Saddam, Botswana and Namibia. Botswana should stand and raise your Hanifa from Botswana. Botswana. Is this Botswana? Where's Namibia 1234? Five. OK, Namibia. It's a Thai. You know, at the. Beginning of this year, we sent out about, we sent out the number of missionaries. Do you know how much it costs to support them for a few months? It costs us 1/4 of $1,000,000. That's what it costs us 250 something 1000 or 260 thousand U.S. dollars. Not for any building room rent, renting a place by instruments, banner offering baskets, this that's all peanuts for a. Number of them. For one year to send them so. What we are doing there's. A cost you see, Salaam. You want to count the cost you. Want to go on the mission field? You need to count the cost. Is there anybody who who has been to Ghana for some years? Where's Billy? Billy's not here. All right, Peter. And who else? Penny, also. OK. All right. And that's Peter's wife. No. All right. Yeah. But you see this guy? Peter, how long were you in Ghana for? Yeah, Peter and Billy, you were there. Together, right? About the total of. Just I think a little over two years or so, about two years. It takes less than two years. Now people are using that thing to hide. But I tell you, it's going to involve. Some of you coming to Bible school because. You see you. Are not you don't become a minister, just as I said I am. I want to be. No, you can become by giving yourself, you understand, to be trained. And we have several, sort of as I was coming, one of the brothers, Kaohelo, he told me to tell you. He sent me. I said, tell them that they should come and we are blessed over here and they should come. They don't. They don't understand, but they should come. When I was coming, I said I sent him that. I will deliver your message. Yeah. So come pay the price. Amen. To be in the ministry. You get it. God will bless you. But test building. There's a price. There's a price people pay to do the work of God. So to finish means that you have counted the cost and you have analysed it. Amen. For me to be sitting here, there's some prices that I have to pay. Oh, you don't know that, but when? I consider the. Blessing that God has given me. I ask myself, what price have I paid? But that's how it is when you pay the price. You pay the price and you don't even understand what is he talking about? Sacrifice. One day I sent some missionaries. To the Sahara Desert. When they were there, they said we were expecting to die. After some time, we were not dead. We were expecting that something we're going to die. Why are we not dying? It seems to be even better than we imagined. So they began to be worried whether they were even doing the right thing. So you are doing the right thing. You see, God will make the dying living, he said. Paul said that I am I, I am crucified yet. Nevertheless. I am alive, yet it is not I but Christ. Who lives in me? And the light that I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God who gave himself for me. Amen. Are you there? Yeah. That is why when you look at people who have sacrificed everything, they look like they are more blessed. Even because you are now free. There's nothing else to lose. But when you have not sacrificed, you always have something to hold back. I'm saving, I'm protecting. I'm keeping. I'm guarding. I'm holding something. I'm guarding my life till you lose everything. Amen. Are you there? Tell your. Neighbor, have you counted the? Cost of coming to such a camp. All right, gentlemen, you may be seated. OK, now encounter the cost. Whether he has sufficient to finish it less happily after he have laid the foundation and is not able to finish it. All that it behold it begin to mock him. All that behold it begin to mock him. Saying this man began to build was not able to finish it. So this reason is you must count the cost that why why you must finish is so that people will not mock you. People would not mock you. I told you a story of a man who told his son. Count up to 100, isn't it? I'll finish telling you that story. Amen. How many were people to laugh at us? No #7 We must finish the work of God in order to have the meat of satisfaction. Amen. Have the pleasure. Of satisfaction. The meat of satisfaction. There is a certain. Satisfaction that you will not have until you finish his work. And John chapter 4, verse #34 said Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Amen. My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. What does it mean? He's saying that my meat all right. Are you there? There is a certain satisfaction that comes when you finish what you came to do, and that satisfaction is the certain happiness that God wants to give us. Do you understand? All right, Paz Eclivio, do you feel happy about your work in South Africa? Pardon. To some, yeah. I'm talking about you To some. Extent to some extent. Yeah. That, that, that, that is. You see, are you living an intact church? Yeah. Yes. Are you living churches? Yes. Are you living pastors? Definitely. Is it? Well, are they healthy? Yeah, at least to my yes, to my knowledge also, that is what it is. Its a blessing. So as you leave it, there's a certain satisfaction. But if you are leaving and it is confusion, you see if you leave people who cannot even follow the next person, you yourself will feel sad that its confusion. That's how Kami Kruma, the 1st President of Ghana must have felt when he was dying. He never finished his work. So when you come to Accra, next time you come to Accra, asked to be taken to the Kwame Kruma Mausoleum, there are hands. There's a there's a monument like that which signifies hands that are cut off. That he never finished. What he started, he was trying to build the style of Africa and make Ghana into a great place. But he was cut off in the midst of his whatever by a coup d'etat in 1966 and he was cut off. So that monument is built to signify the. Abrupt. Cutting off of the man's vision, sudden. Death. Do you understand? And he left a country with soldiers in charge. People who have no right. To be heads of state, we're now heads of state. Messi, you understand. And Ghana went into chaos for the next whatever number of years, Saddam. I don't know how Nelson Mandela feels about South Africa, but I'm sure he feels happy that he has left a peaceful country. As to whether to be peaceful in the future, we don't know. But if it was flames and fighting, I don't think he would have been happy. So he has done well to be able to take a country out of the Confucian. And it's it's a clear good country that is even about to host the World Cup, you see. But why you don't finish it and it's somehow in the middle somewhere, some kind of confusion, I don't know. Do you get it? So. What God is trying to. Tell us is that there is a certain satisfaction and happiness of ministry that we will have. If we are able to finish our work, we will. Be old men. And we will be able to hand over if I start a church and when I am dead, the church is divided and scattered into so many pieces, I'll not be happy. That is how come I have handed over both the Kodesh and then the whole Church to what we call the shuffling conferences and the bishops elect Council and and the other Apostolic councils and so on that we have formed. Do you understand? Are you listening to me and some of the the bishops counselor here? Can you stand out that Bishop elect IE and and Mr. Jake are? There any more here? OK. You are introducing more to you. Sit down all right. And so the whole church is getting used to them governing the church rather than me. So now when they move people and things are moving, its not me. So I'm just, I just watch, I say. You have to this person. So I see its good. I like what I see because. My aim? Is to see something that I didn't leave. Chaos, confusion, division, hatred. After all, how long will I live? After all? How long can I control things? After all, The thing is so big is bigger than one person. No one person can guide this church. Do you understand? Yeah. So I want to have a certain happiness, like when I see the kodesh, I go there, they don't even miss me. They. Don't even. They don't even think about. Me its true I drive by you know they're having their program. Yesterday I went to church everybody was wearing red, gold, green. I didn't know so I came with my purple. I came with my purple in the evening I didn't know that because it was Ghanas Independence Day 6th of March. They said now they checked they wear colors every time they have a new idea that they say today's date so. You've been seeing it. Yeah, what? The Valentine's Day, everybody wore red. Yeah, instead they wear white. Good Friday, they wear black. Different things. So South African Republic, Independence Day, you have to get a whole dress like that with the colors, the flag and you wear. It and you. Come with the hat and everything, and then we know that, yes. We have a color every. Month they are doing something. So here I came to the church with my purple shirt. Oh, an outsider, a visitor, you understand, not involved, not included. And I have my small service in the evening in partition sales at Lake Chapel. I just come and I do that when I'm there. And then I go. Those who will come. And the main people come, Bible students and some other die hard people who are not tired. These are the few people who come in the but the real church, they don't come for that service. But you see, I, I feel. Happier. I feel the church is more secure, you see, because something that you can be able to pass on. You think about a baby. When there is a baby which can only be held by you, you are. Don't you see that you are not free Now there is a baby that you can live with somebody and go. It means the baby has grown. You can put it in somebody's hand and say, I'll be back. And when you can leave your baby and go even for a longer period, the baby's bones has bones. So there's a certain happiness that I get by seeing that the church is, is is is is completed. In a way, yeah. But if not, it's not because there are many churches after the founder is dead, is over, its finished. That's the end of it. But we must all join our heads and our hearts together to see that Lighthouse Chapel International will rather become stronger over the death of the founder of the church. If he's dead, it means to get even Wilder. And we must have the mind. That even if I'm still alive and I'm handing out just that, respect these people, respect whatever structures there are in the check so that the thing can go from hand to hand because one hand will not be strong enough for a long time. It's a fact of reality. Nobody. Can stay. Forever and nobody is there forever. Even a Levite is supposed to minister from the age of 25 to 50 and I'm getting towards 50. So if I'm getting told that means that I'm supposed to retire as a Levite? What do you think? Yeah. So you must all respect it and accept it so that we will all have a certain happiness when we lie in our graves. And we think about it. As you are lying in the coffin, you'll be thinking, wow, that church, that church is there, that church is there. You'll be very happy in the coffin. Stable churches that live. Beyond you. And it was not just something that came and go like fireworks Zoop. Then it's off, no? Whatever you are doing in Botswana, it must go beyond you. The life is not the limitation of that church. And in Namibia and. Zimbabwe and all the churches. Amen. There's a certain happiness, I tell you, You see, even your children, if you have a child and the child is able to grow and get to a point. And read that the child. Reads this Bible himself. Wow, the child goes to church. Himself, I know some people who criticized. I remember one lady, she criticized us because she was a Catholic. She hated our church. She hated all the things that we do criticize. Then one day she had a daughter and the. Daughter grew up and. The daughter also developed breasts. And the daughter developed. Bottoms. And became a lady. And started working in town then one day. The daughter came. And joined the church that she criticized, you see. And as the daughter joined the church and now the daughter said, I'm going for choir practice, I'm going to church. And then one day she came, she was angry with the daughter. She said, unless you have do this, this, this, this, this. The child woke up early in the morning, did this, this, this so that I could go to church. And one day she was talking to a friend. She said, anyway, it's not bad for your grown up daughter who has two breasts and bottoms and she has chosen to go for choir practice and she's going for witnessing and she's going for primity and she's going to check. She realized that it's not about even advising when the child has gone beyond the point and has chosen God so that it's not bad at all. Let's let her go to the church. I criticize. I like what? I see. So. It's it's a great. Thing to see something mature out of your hand and see that out of your hand, it is still doing well. And we want to see Lighthouse in South Africa out of our hands and doing well. Can I have an e-mail from somebody? And in Namibia we want to see it mature out of our hands and do well. What do you think? Is it a powerful idea? And it's going to happen. God is going to bless us to finish what we have started. And we are going to become very happy. And anybody who has helped to contribute to build this church, when you lie in your coffin, you will remember as you lie there, maybe they'll be, they'll be passing by. You just be winking. I'm very happy. You know, I'm very happy as they are paying their respects and they are passing by. Yeah, even though I'm dead, I'm happy because I really have to do the work of God. I didn't spoil anything. I didn't bring any confusion. I left something that is glorious and that whatever my contribution is, I contributed it and it is working My life, my time, my money, my messages, my stability. What I could do? I did. You when Pastor NIA didn't. Talks about you. He talks about you with fondness. You he talks you. Remember when you got saved? And he remembers you, but. He he came to Zimbabwe and yeah, you can look back and see somebody who came to church give his life to Christ. You are now dead, pastoring the church. Do you think the person will not be happy? There's a certain happiness that comes. You feel it in your heart. There's a certain fondness. You look at this person. This person just makes me happy you. Know it's not a great thing. Yeah, you see, and and God, you should have that desire also to leave something nice in Zimbabwe. That's something that is there that is also working. Because Zimbabwe, I tell you, there is a certain darkness there, but it will change. It will change. Yeah, there's a certain, I don't know. I don't know how many, how many more weeks or months of judgment. By the time will come when the judgment will be over and then a light will shine again in Zimbabwe. But there's a judgment that is over the land, political judgment, death, HIV, even war. By the time will come, the 70 weeks will be accomplished and then peace will start after that. All right. So try your time will also be over one day and you should be so happy. So I don't mind dying at all what I have done and it's it's even out of my hands. It works. Look, look and see. Everybody should see. Let us have that mind to say, look, everybody see. You see, it's not in my hands and it's working. You see now it's not in my hands and it is working you. See, it's not in. My hand and it works. Is it not a good thing? Yeah. It's not in my hand. And it works. That's what I'm doing. You see the kodesh. It's not in my hand, but it works. Hey, they have they are doing things. So when I go to the church, I preach, I always cause confusion because they have their own new birthdays. Some things that they do that I don't know. So before I realized that I've cancelled their birthday, I'm not have cancelled, but I ended myself. I wished their grace. I thought, oh, we are supposed to wish some people happy birthday and some other nights pastoral things that they do, sing to them, give them presents and things. And I realized that I'd forgotten hey. The church is working, you see. It's. Out of my hand and it's working. You see it's out of my hand and it's working. You too have the mind. One day you say, You see it's out of my hand. You see that it's working. See that it's working. See, the church in Petersburg is working, and Mafi King is working. In Georgetown is working. You see this working, and when I went to start there, you see this working. As for Satan and Judas, we shall have some. But to win a war, you must. Become war. That's what Rambo said. We said to win a war, you must become war. Hey, Charlie. Yeah. To win this war against orangut, Judas and all that, we must become war. We ourselves might become war. Yeah. We are going to become war. We are going to wage war. We are going to wage a war on Satan's Lucifer. Lucifer, his name was When you are a son and your name is changed in. The reverse manner. It's a very He's the only example I know whose name was changed to a bad name. He was. He was called Lucifer, The sun of mourning of the moon, the sun of the dawn, which means that the sun who brings light, who brings light. The. Sun is his arrival, heralds his brightness and brings the shining sun and the glory of God. And his name was changed to Satan within the resistor, the one who resists God and the opposer of God. His name was changed in the negative. And to win this war. Against him and all his allies and agents, we shall become a war. Our face alone will be a war against Judas, Adonijah, and all absaloms and sons that dishonor fathers. We shall kiss them and fight them with the words of our mouth, David said. I'm surrounded, oh Lord, I'm surrounded. But I shall cut them off in. The name of the Lord. Even though we may be surrounded, we shall cut them off in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. They will never come out of their pit in Jesus name as. Satisfaction is going to. Descend on your heart, not the satisfaction of having a husband or wife. Look, let me tell you a secret. Shall I tell you something? A lot of people will not tell you what I'm going to tell you, but it's between us. Tell. Somebody between us. Yeah. Look. Most people don't have this orderly life, husband, wife, children. Me and my, me and my. Husband and our children. It's a it's a special blessing to be like that. You have a wife and your children, but the baby one you're not married, then you don't have children, then you. Have had a child with. Someone or child, a child here, child here or some other, whatever. A lot of person, a lot of most lives are odd. There's more. Normal than this. Husband and wife living happily together, happily ever after. It's the more ideal. Idealistic. Blessing, which we should aim for, but many people don't have it. That is not the satisfaction. You should look for. I can tell you that. Don't don't look because you wouldn't even find it. That's I say what I'm telling you. Most people will not tell you. Rather, look for satisfaction in this work which can satisfy you and make you happy in your life. Yeah, you will not find satisfaction from marriage. You will not. You want to squeeze the breasts when you squeeze. And squeeze and squeeze that till till your hand is frozen. This message continues on the. Next track, keep listening.
