Open track #7 of atmosphere. One day a man was in his house and then the police came there and they said a man in prison has made a confession, a man whom they have had arrested and he has made a confession of so many people that he has killed and he has, he has because he was caught with one or two. Then he said, OK, I killed this person too, this one. So they have a lot of unsolved medals and they didn't know who killed them. He said I killed this one, I killed this one, I said that. And he said this is where the bodies are. He gave the addresses of houses that he has lived in and then in the house in the kitchens and a very these people in the kitchen. I buried one in the garden, I buried one in this house. And there are so different houses in England. So they came, somebody sleeping there happily about that. They came to remove the car. There was a person under there. People, they are still, they are all there. Yeah, I mean, and all these things are there, and the blood has been shed there, libation has been poured there, incantations and spells, Wizards, witches, evil spirits have occupied places before you came. Yeah. And certain things will never happen until you are in certain environments. Yeah. One day I was talking to a woman who was getting divorced, you know, and I said, if you have not gone to America, you will not have been getting divorced. And they said, yeah, if I have not gone to America, even the idea that you can divorce, it will never even occur to you. Yeah. The idea that that mind that this marriage that I'm in, I can leave it. You see, it depends on where you are. In some places, we didn't want to say, I can't take this, you know, I'm sorry. It's over. Forget it. I can't take this nonsense. At some places, the environment will not allow you to think about divorcing. It's out of them, out of the question. Whatever you have found with the marriage, that is it. You will be there till you die. It's finished. Be there. Are you listening to me? All right, so let us be going through different atmospheres #1 the atmosphere of youth, youthfulness. Turn to Ecclesiastes chapter 12, verse one, The atmosphere of youth. The atmosphere in a first lap church is different from the atmosphere in the Kodesh. What is an atmosphere surrounding? Is this a what? The pervading mood? The pervading the pervading mood here is different from the pervading mood in the Qodesh or in Doctor August Church. The pervading mood or the emotional tone, The dominant mood is different. The dominant mood in in the first life is more excitement and Hallelujah. It can work, Charlie, it's working. The dominant mood in a more grown up church is more of well, we've we've had all these kind of things before, you know, and we'll see what the Lord will do anyway, slowly, by and by everything will be OK. Let's weigh both sides and the dominant mood is in a young people's environment is yeah, we say India. Yes, let's go to that. But a dominant move in an open, say, India, Well, you want to go as a missionary, Sir, be careful. Make sure you do. Your masters, make sure you do this. Make sure you do this. Your pastor, he's a rich man. His father is rich. His mother, that's what he's doing, saying all those things. So you need to be careful. There's money in that family. So you, you've got to be, that's the dominant mood and all that. Where do you come from? You don't have anything. Your family secure your future. Your mother and your father, they don't have. You have to look after them. Listen, that's the dominant mood. Be careful, the dominant mood in the young peoples is like yes, yes we shall work for the Lord. The dominant mood in a in an older places. I need a blessing today. Bless me Lord, save me and deliver me. Tonight is my night. I'm I'm going to give an offering that will make a change in my destiny. God will move on my behalf. This this evening at this convention. This is my hour. It's my turn. My story is changing this evening. This evening, God is writing a new chapter. So the emotional tone in an in a youthful place is more of a possibility atmosphere, excitement atmosphere that the dominant mood or the pervading mood is more of pro positive. Yeah. Charlie, what's the next idea? Oh, we can do it. I mean, what else? What is it? What I mean, Yeah, when I when I asked the stars to sing we are the church, you get it. The the dominating, the pervading mood was yeah, let's sing it, but in another place it's oh, but is it not a worldly song? Is it not a worldly song? And what are we? I mean, so OK, So what are what are the scriptures that go with this and not this and so many meetings and. Yeah, so there is a completely different environment or atmosphere in a young people's environment. That is why and it's a possibility environment. OK, Now Ecclesiastes chapter 12, that's one. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth. The days of thy youth is a different atmosphere from another section of life which is coming to hit all of you. The days of thy youth while the evil days come not. One day a certain elderly lady, she called her daughter and she told her daughter, Look, I was also sweet. I was sweet. You see all the things I said? They are real things. She told her that. I was sweet. I was, I was how you say I was sweet. I was not always like this. She told her no. She said it physically. I was sweet. I was disturbed. How I was. I was sweet. I was also nice. I was also hand encased. People like me. I was gentle, I was nice, I was flowing. I was nicer even than you. I was soft and gentle and trusting. I was trusting. I was not like this. No. I don't trust him. I was trusting. That's why I followed your father. So trusting atmosphere. The living atmosphere. Yeah. So the work of what I can do with a young person is different from the work of what I can do with an older person. I can reach the World with a younger person, but I cannot easily reach a world with an older person. The younger person will be more trusting. So you'll be OK. Go to Comoros Islands. Will you be OK? You'll be fine. You go, go to Seychelles, OK, Another person will say Seychelles. What is so? This is the atmosphere that I'm in. So now you see the reason the reason I'm here I believe that God made me come here is because even though I'm older, I have not lost my first love. My my love has not abated although a lot of people's love has abated my energy for God. So all too I keep on searching for new people who are interested in flowing. You see, if for instance, you are an older man and you have a wife and you want to express your first love expressions sexually, do you understand what I'm talking about? I mean, you have various aerobics that you have in your mind, or acrobatics and you have an elderly lady lying. By your side, who has? Who has? Now. Become like a wrestler shall become like a wrestler. And she is not willing to say, OK, just move up to the left, move to the right. You have become like a, you have become like a conductor of an orchestra upstairs, downstairs. Move this way through this. That is how young men are with their first laughs. They have ideas, excitement. Some sisters are not smiling. Look, I saw some in this area. Joan. Joan was not smiling. Joan. Hey, fire, in this direction there are some over righteous. Look, Ecclesiastes says be not over righteous. Be not over righteous. Fire. She's still standing fire. OK. All right. All right, next time when we are talking about things that are biblical, when we are talking about things that are in the Bible, Bible relates that things. You have an attitude. You will see something in the church. You see something in the church. Sit down. I was explaining something. Yes, I'm explaining. Listen, if you have, all right, a wrestler lying by your side who is no more ready to move. A retired wrestler. That is why older men go and find young girls. Yeah, because they are looking for somebody young to express first love activities with. Yeah, because they still have the zeal and energy now. That's why I came here, because I'm looking for some people to express first love and I need a companion and a partner to back down with my best love and Robbins and and something and something in God. I want to shop for gingers. I want to work for God. I want to go all out. I want to go all the way. I want to do my work for Jesus. I still have energy. I still have feel. I still have love. I still have fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire. Hey, cigar, cigar, cigar. Yeah, yeah. Some people are sitting down. It's like it's like we are over. It's like we are, we are, we are stupid and that we are stupid. We are stupid. What you mean by that? What you mean? What you mean It's like we are emotional. Sit down. So when an elderly brother has married his wife, who originally was an antelope and has now turned into a hippopotamus and is touching the hippopotamus, hippopotamus is not ready. To move. Then you see that in the world they will find young, young girls. Yes. Small, small girls. Sometimes they have agents who go and bring. Their small, small girls to them. Because they still have energy and they still have first love and ideas. That's why I came here. Because even though I'm almost 50 years old. I still have. Energy and zeal and 1st love and fire. I'm ready, I say. I'm ready. I want to do something. I want to do something, something, something, something, something. There are some elderly people. OK, sit down, sit down. So people don't understand why I have come to. First Love Church. Yeah, how many understand is better now? Yeah, Yeah. People don't understand because if you don't have the partner, if you don't have a partner. To. Do the first last activities somebody that when you tap the person is when you tap. When you tap, the person is like an iPad or an iPad, but the person is like an old text battle. When you tap, when you tap, nothing happens. The first thing is not digital. The first thing is not modern, not exciting. A tap you, you cannot, you have to set, set like this. Check this. Check this side. You need some somebody more than with energy so that you can express first love. And in future, if you still have first love in the future, one day you will see that many of the people that are around you don't have that first love anymore. Yeah. And you may have to follow the pillar of fire by night or the pillar of cloud by day to find the next group that still have fake love so that you can express your touch when you touch. Wow. But when you touch an elderly wrestler who is retired for people, for demos, she will only tell you I was once sweet. I used to be like you. I was once active. I was an antelope. I was a jumping deer. I was an aerobic antelope. But now I'm retired, I'm bitter. I'm disappointed, I'm tired. I'm worried. It's enough. I'm frustrated. I'm broken hearted instead of the first. Life has quenched because the person has moved out of the youthful atmosphere. Yeah, that's why. That's why I came here. So that I can have somebody that I can touch. I said touch, touch, touch, touch. Yeah, look, look, look at this. People like that, they know themselves. OK, you sit down, you sit down. Mark, mark that corner, that corner. There they are marking you. Now after after the youthful atmosphere, you immediately enter the next three atmospheres, which are grouped together because they have the same effect. Yeah. So after the youthful atmosphere, we have the next atmosphere, which are the killer atmospheres. These are the killer atmospheres, yes, the killer atmospheres. Remember now thy creator in the days of that is one of the evil days. Come not so. There are coming days which are evil days and the years. There are days and years of evil. And when thou shalt say I have no pleasure in them in these days, this, this season, this atmosphere. All right. Now, what are these killer atmospheres? There are three of these killer atmospheres. OK, actually there are 6. I say atmosphere or no atmosphere, I'm going to work for the Lord. OK, there are only 5 now. As soon as we said, I reduced from 6:00 to 5:00, number one, the atmosphere of affliction. Mark 4, verse 14, The Sowans soweth the word, and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown. But when they have heard Satan covered immediately and taketh away the word that was sown in their heart, and these are they which are sown on Stony ground all right. They have no root in themselves, but so endure for a time. Afterward, when affliction or persecution arises for the Word's sake, immediately they are offended. OK, now the first atmosphere, killer atmosphere kills the calling. It kills the message. It kills the word of God, it kills any good thing you hear. There are five of them, and Jesus described these ones in great detail because they have the effect of killing the seeds. When the seed is sown, it just kills it. It just kills. It ends. It says call it no, no, no, finish. And the first is affliction and the second is persecution. Arise for the sake of the word, you see. So you realize that a lot of people have heard what you are hearing, but as soon as they hate difficulty, affliction because of their calling, because of those affliction in life, I mean general affliction, but affliction arises because of the word. Is it because of what God is telling you? There are certain problems that will come just because of the problems of the calling. The siege is a call. The siege is a word. A call is a word versus go, come. I want to use you. It's a word. It's a word from God. And the word of God is a call. Are you listening? Yeah. So when the word of God comes, all right, and you are young in the youthful atmosphere, it's a possibility atmosphere. But you are soon to enter the killer atmosphere, the five of them. And if you don't prepare your winter coats, you know, when you go to winter, you have something you call long Johns. You know, long John. It's like pants, but very long pants. From here to here, Yeah. Long Johns. Yeah. So it's like the pants is like all the way. It's like stockings. Yeah. Long Johns. You may have to have even more than one. If you are wearing long Johns now, you cannot stay here. Even you will take it. You will scream like it's OK. You cannot just wear even tights or stockings or even you can't. You do not. You need few real things. Your feet, your legs. If you joke when you go and you come, your toe will come up. You just break it like it has come up like this. You can make chips, you just remove it like that. So there are atmospheres ready to drive down and drive out all the excitement, the weather, what he has. Oh yes, Lord. Oh yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, Lord. Yes. Affliction or persecution. The second one, affliction is just general, but persecution is like you are persistently hounded for your beliefs. You are hounded and followed. It's like it's troubled that only because of this constantly on you. That's what he says I'm being. If I said the government is persecuting me, last year they did this, this year they are doing it. It's like they are persecuting me. It's different from I'm having an affliction. But when it continues, then it's becoming persecution. Do you understand? And you see some of you, the slightest persecution, the slightest divorce of financial problems, I expect some small financial affliction. When I got married, my wife, we, we couldn't afford so many things. We couldn't afford him to rent a place. My father had a hotel and he had the hotel had 15 rooms and he gave us one of the rooms to stay in room 14. And that is where I, I went blasted. I didn't want to go abroad, said I can stay there. I stayed in room 14. I stayed there for three years with my wife and we gave birth to two children in that room with House of everything. We were all there. It was the biggest, which was a little bigger without had a houseboy made or whatever. We were all there after church. We didn't, we didn't have money. I remember sitting in my with my wife and I said, what are we going to eat? Then we will, we will calculate our money. And then I, I had enough money to buy a tin, one tin of corn beef. I said at let's go, there was a shop called Junior's End and we'll go to that shop and we'll buy one tin of corn beef. That's what we had, that's the money that we had. Just single one, then we buy, then she will cook, then we'll eat, we'll be there. I couldn't buy petrol, my car was. I couldn't buy Ford fuel. So I changed the petrol to gas, connected gas because when I calculated gas was cheaper, so I changed it to gas so that I would buy cooking gas and I got a special cable, I call it Bimbola. And I connected the cooking gas to the car. And because that he also did the, when he got the car, he also did the same. We didn't have the car. All three of us had my, my car. It was a Renault. 4/6 of us would sit in that car. Renault, it was the only car in the church. No one had a car. All my all my members were students were children. All my members were my organist was a student from Ebenezer Secondary School. We didn't have an organ when I was getting married. We didn't have instruments. My wedding, there was no instrument. I said didn't have instruments. I was the pastor of the church and I said I'm having my wedding in my church because I wanted the church to be a real church so that how can I have my wedding in another church? I said I'm a pastor, I've founded a church, I've started the church. How can I have it? It's my church and it's a church. It's a real church. So who is going to officiate? My father asked me who is going to officiate? I said 01, Reverend Saki, he said. Oh. OK, he didn't know. He didn't know. Reverend Saki was my assistant who who was working for him as a lawyer. Yes. We didn't have money, we couldn't buy chairs, we didn't have chairs, we didn't have anything, we didn't have furniture, nothing. I'm telling I was married for three years and my father told me something. He said, look, if you think you will be whatever before you have whatever you marry or whatever, you cannot. Then he started to tell me the story of how he started. Life is not easy. If you want to start at the top, you are not starting real life. No matter where you work or who you are, what you are doing, you always start from a certain and struggle. So those who want to have everything you can, there's nothing like that, nothing more. Nobody starts at a certain place. One day I came to my house. One day I came to my house and somebody had bought a curtain of corn beef. Oh, many times, many times it has happened. I just look at the cat and I smile and I just, I just go, I just go upstairs. I just, I remember when I was looking for we were we were searching, was searching to find something to buy one. Yeah. Are you listening to me? Yeah. Once more. Little difficulty on a field, on the mission. And then you want to say, hey, I want to work for MTN. No, I want to work. Look, look at the politicians. You see, there is sex in the world. That case is such that whoever you are, you will suffer to eat. Whether I work in a church or MTN politics, all of them, they really suffer. Yeah. I mean you look at the people who have become president in Ghana, they really suffer before they become president. And I don't know about this one, but I has really suffered. But we are, we are going to see they have to campaign. Professor Mills, even Professor Edu Wahin, he never became president. He fought against Rollins. He died a broken hearted, disappointed person. Kufu was chosen. This one, Kufuadu is probably going to be the same disappointment. Yeah, many people practically look at Professor Mills. He was defeated and defeated and defeated until he won, when by time he won, he was sick. No, we couldn't even finish. It's not easy. Every job is difficult. So if affliction is going to take you out. We were so poor and I told my wife never say anything bad about the church. I say always say that we are blessed. I told them one day. I said don't say anything bad. You see, if you are a husband, you have to control your you must marry somebody you control. You can control. You can lead. If you don't lead her, you are not a good husband. Any brother who? My wife says that I can't. My wife says that go and work for Tigo. You cannot. You cannot be in the church. You cannot, you cannot work in the church. My wife says that. My wife says that go away. Go and work in there. Go and work for Tigo. One day I took AI took, I took a decision with my wife. She was pregnant and we were so much in difficulty. My father said look, go to. I said go to Cambridge. I said I want to, I will be in the ministry, OK. So I sat down with my wife. We discussed, OK, you go abroad and work and then we what the money we get was a few months during the pregnancy. So she took the pregnancy went and she went to work. She was working in a factory up and down a lawyer going up and down the factory working, working. She was put the gate before she gave birth. Big stomachs was going to the factory even one day she was arrested by the police. If they stop and they say bring your passport. Well, who are you? We have been following you on this road every day you come to this factory, bring your visa. And then when I when I when she had finished working and getting the money, then I traveled there when I arrived and she gave me all the money that she had earned. Yeah, that's that's marriage. Gave me all the money and I took it and I put it in my property. Well done, well done, good and faithful servers. Uber model, all the savings that she had made and I used it. The first thing that I, I did was that I used it to bite it because the, the chairs we have, we have had a number of visitors when they come and they sit down, they immediately fall through. So that happened. So the first thing I did was I, I bought chairs. I still have those chairs. Yeah. The first thing I did was we bought. We didn't have anything. They have any in their bed. Nothing. We're using the hotel, the teaser in the hotel. Yeah. Slowly, slowly, slowly, little by little. Today I can buy you a set of furniture. I'll not think about it. Today I can buy a captain of corn beef. And then I couldn't for a long time. I couldn't. Yes, I survived through the killer. The beginning of the killer atmosphere. That's why people stopped saying, look, this is too much. I'm going, I can't take this. It's too much. It's too much Walhalla. Walhalla is too much to serve God. So I'm encouraging you and you see, brothers be strong because the ladies, they are weaker than us as vessels. So they're affected more than by natural things, the physical state, the environment. They want this, they want this. I don't. I'm happy with this. So many issues. We send them when their wives come, then it becomes a problem. I said they can say, hey, why? There's no this, this So when we also have a car. So we also did this. So one day this, we'll read this before I realize they are back in Ghana. Over and over and over. I have seen it. Sisters. Yeah, I know you. We like you, but you are somewhere we know you don't. We like our sisters because we don't have any other sisters. Our sisters. And that's how you are. It's not that we are blind. And it doesn't mean that we don't like you. We like you. That's how you are. So affliction, persecution. Don't let it. My mother-in-law, talk, talk. She's a teacher. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. You have to work, you have to work. You have to go and work here, you have to work. I said police teacher, we cannot do this. No, that's her name. We call it a police teacher. Give a teacher. I said police teacher, we cannot, we will not. I will not. One day she always, always, always, always. So one day I told a police teacher, with respect, please don't talk about this. I said that I have decided to. I am a pastor, I will not. I don't want to work at Colabo again. Please. When I said I was afraid. Oh, you see, Because when? When, when you say starting at 8. Don't say this. And again, I have decided that my heart was beating. If you need any help. You would. You would die. You would see. You would see what will happen to you now. You would see. Yeah. Now I'm going to be you say that they shouldn't talk about this again. You say that you are going to get I have nothing on nothing. A test for holy students at the School of Hygiene corridor, a corridor of the School of Hygiene, a canteen. I said you shouldn't talk. Then my father-in-law also came instead that he called me and said I have seen, I have now seen your problem. No problem. He said that you see, I have been told that you were transferred to the mochi, the mochi department and I've seen this is the reason why I don't want to go to work. So he said that I I know one of the people at Kollebu and I'm going to see the administrator so that they will transfer you from that place. I said daddy, please. Yeah, this is small affliction. Some of you guys say my mother is this, my father is. Everybody has mother and father, especially if you come from a good family, you always have mother said this father, when you don't come from a good family, nobody says anything to me. When you go say whatever you are doing, see you, bye, whatever. If you had a good family, hey, they would talk. It's a sign of a good family. And the talking, talking, talking, you should come, but oh, these are good family. When you have the good family, say you are going say ah, OK, whatever you do. We, we now we can't even survive ourselves to be thinking about you. It's a son of a good family. Talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, where are you? What are you doing this and that. No, no, no. But thank God for a good family. But God is a greater good Father and we are going to follow God. We are going to serve God. We are. We are going to work for Jesus Christ. I wish Tamanna was here to say that poem again. Well, you see, time is gone, it's gone, it's over. Take it for me, find it for me, it's gone, it's over. Time is gone. And then you say, ah, I wish I could serve the Lord. Spend the chances. Wow, wasted years wasted. Yes, OK, got it, got it. Lulu. What chapter is he saying? Just send me the chapter, OK. Nah, Tamara did very well yesterday. I'm not going to wait till it's over sunrise and skies are fair. This is a poem by Gordon Lindsey, a famous evangelist. A day begins without a care when you are young. A day for joy, a day for leisure, a day for thrills, and a day for pleasure. Youth is married and young youth is gay. The great Ripper is far away, but there is a call. This is the Master's voice. I need you today. May I be your choice, May I be your choice. God is saying to you, may I be your choice. May I be the one you choose to work for? You are going to be presented with Tigo Airtel MTN. You are going to be turned with Barclays Bank. You are going to be presented with this.

Will you join the reapers in the morning? Bright awake, all youth to the heavenly vision awake. This is a. Heavenly vision As we are this camp, I'm giving you a heavenly vision, I said. I'm giving you a heavenly vision, a vision for God, a vision about heaven, a vision about eternity, a vision about what God wants to do with you. Because multitudes. Multitudes are in the Valley of Decision, The morning sun high above the earth. A cry of distress. A cry of distress in Congo Brazzaville. A cry of distress in the Comoros Island, a cry of distress in Seychelles Island. A cry of distress in Bermuda Triangle. A cry of distress on the islands of the earth. And all this place, they don't know God. There are no churches. Churches don't work there. That's a cry of distress. Save me, save me, save me. You know the Titanic hardships all around when it was sinking that were within this stands just a few minutes they would have been dead, but they didn't hear the cry of distress. But they didn't even believe it. Actually one of the ships they said, but it cannot be said, oh, we know the Titanic, it can never sink. So they didn't go. Heathen are born and heathen are dying. Is there none to hear them crying? Oh yes, said the youth. Oh yes, count me, count me as one to help in this harvest until the day is done. Yet he lingered on for a little more fun, a little more fun. Count me in, but let me have a little more fun. Count me in, but let me have a little more fun. A little more fun.

It's one O clock. It's chocolate. This evening is coming. The golden awe had hastened. The golden awe. Some of you don't know poetry. Oh, awe, awe. It's the golden sun. It had hastened its flight. It was now moving rapidly to six O clock. Yeah. Rapid awe. You thought you were young. You. Thought a little more fun. That's now hastening what a poem conscience still had, and memories daunted well he had acquired, yet more was wanted. Many were the possessions he proudly flaunted. Houses and barns, lands and farms, Streams and ponds, stalks and bonds, chickens and hogs, forests and logs, crops and flocks, meadows and haystacks, orchards and berries, vineyards and cherries. Wow, this. Is where his riches still the rich man was entertaining for a sinister voice had spoken and said. On with the fun on with the dance. On with the fun, have fun, continue on with the fun. A little voice in in Sarima said. On with the fun, on with the dance. A sinister voice, a sinister voice, a sinister voice of evil has set on with the fan. On with the dance. There's time for God. And so that that voice will come from even a pastor, so that it will come from a Christian. And you look so that it can come from even a parent that can come from even godly people. But it's a sinister voice. Go ahead and make merry while you have the chance. You're a man of the times. You are 10 feet tall. He saw. Time yet for the call. So a little more. Folly and a little more fun and the hours slipped away until there were none. Sunrise to sun falls over. Now the day was wasting on the Western Wall. You know the sun rises on the east, it starts wasting on the Western Wall. Hans were still busy with 1000 things, still busy with 1000 things, busy with 1000 different activities except the work of God as evening descents and curfew brains. The day had faded into twilight red as multitude hasted to join the dead. Suddenly he said, I'm ready, I'm ready, said the man at last, but shaking hands. He was now old. He could not hold fast to the microphone, his hair, unnoticed, had. Turned Gray. He He didn't notice that the hair was turning Gray. When it was turning Gray, he didn't notice hair unnoticed had turned Gray. Shaking. Hands still. He thought it was yesterday. He still thought it was. He was still in the first lap church at the very beginning when he was hearing those things. He still thought it was yesterday and it was not yesterday. It's not yesterday anymore. Time is gone. Alas, harvest is past. It was too late to save those who had gone to a Christ less grave, Christ less grave, Christ less grave. Ask your neighbor, will you save those who have gone to a Christless grave? Where is the silver, and where is the gold? Where are the possessions to another soul? Where are the sheep that grease the hill? Where are the cattle that drank from the river? Where are the vans that were filled with plenty, and where are the thoroughbreds? 120 Where are the heirlooms? Where are the treasures, where is the laughter, where are the pleasures? Where are the porters? Where is the wine? Where are the delicacies and the dinners that are so fine? Sun has sunk low, the night has descended, the summer is gone and the harvest is ended. Oh, for a chance, for time extended. I wish there could be an extension of time. A wasted life was never intended. Sunfall and moonrise. What is left of the rich man's prize? Go out to the valley. Go out and see what is left of the rich man's prize. Go to the Yonder hill and see the marble standing. Treasures were offered in heaven. Treasures were offered in heaven. But instead he took the cold reward of the unsaved dead. He will be rewarded for the unsaved, dead people who die without being. Saved you will see. The reward of that thing and one of us who Live Today. This is our home. Let us not stay. A call to the harvest till it shall end. Work now, Work fast and reap, my friend. New dawn and new sunrise. Till the faithful Master will give the prize. Amen. Is it a fantastic poem? It's a poem of our lives. And when you see a bar thing like that, you should make sure you don't fulfill it cause one day you'll be reading and say, hey, I'm in the poem. I am the poem. The poem has happened to me practically messy. All right, so I'm talking about 5 killer atmospheres. The first one is affliction, persecution. The third one, third one, third one, third one. OK, let's see what I have here. The atmosphere of the cares of this world. Cares of this world, Responsibilities, deceit enters cares of this world. All right. These are sewn on Stony ground when they have heard the word. All right. OK, now. How many know that cares are going to start coming on you? You don't have cares now. You don't have any cares, especially if you don't have a child. You don't have a care when you have a child. Your life will change when you have a husband. Your husband is your first baby. Husbands are like rucksacks. Do you know what a rucksack is? Something you carry on your back. He has so many needs that he has planned you as the fulfillment of the source of that fulfillment. You are his plan. You are his intelligence. You don't have an idea. It's not excitement. It has so many jobs that he is expecting you to do. How about you didn't know that? You see, it is just so many ideas, and the fulfillment of those ideas is you. What's your name again? Vivian. Yes. Is it my. What's your beloved? Michael's beloved? Yeah. You don't. You don't have any idea of the plan that you ask for you. He's planning to express first love of you. Ideas, visions, innovations, huh. Plans and visions and and you see, you will not, you will not be tired for years. One day, Sudan, a certain couple, they grew and they were about 55 years old. And the they had stopped doing the things that first lovers do. Maybe once every four months. They may have, I mean, an interaction once every four months. I'm telling you a true story. Once every four months. Yeah. And a certain pervading mood or atmosphere at the age of 5556. So one day a certain brother told the brother that he has a certain medicine that he can give to him. They gave it to him to rejuvenate his first love. So when they gave it to him, it was like a miracle. He became like he was 21. At first the wife was happy, but after two weeks she said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. At the age of 56, I cannot handle this. I'm being persecuted. So I am telling you that the man Lama, he has visions and dreams for a long time. You will be tired that you see that he has got visions and dreams. You have a child, you have children, you have a husband, you have a home, you have a scarce, scarce issues. Now this is a killer atmosphere where you have to develop Penguin attitudes. If you are not a spiritual Penguin, that's over. You are down for. You are what you are down for if if it don't become a spiritual Penguin or that field that we saw or a spiritual polar bear. When the atmosphere changes, you will see tonight I'm going to show you an atmosphere change and what it did. I will show you some elephants and you'll see that the elephants are moving. They are happy. They all came to drink water, you see. They were all flowing, they were a lot. And when they came to the water, it was drying. Everybody had come to the water to drink and a lot of more than 30 lions had also come to drink. But it was daytime and in daytime, but when the evening came, the lions, the balance of because an elephant is more dangerous than a lion. I think I would prefer to meet a lion than an elephant. It's true. In the wild. Yeah, I think I would prefer to meet a lion because what I've been told about a lion is you stand there. Just stand. No, don't move. Don't move. Just stand there. As soon as you run, it will just how many are going to come with me to a Safari? Yeah, you wait. You'll go. Right. Say I'm going, I'm going Safari. So the atmosphere changes. As soon as it changes, it becomes a killer atmosphere for the elephants. Nothing could harm them in the day, but they change atmosphere. And it was a change for the elephant because the lion can see in the night, but the elephant cannot see. So you watch, Wait tonight, remind me to show you. You see how atmosphere just changes and everything changes. Suddenly you were living and suddenly death is coming to you. It's it's fantastic. So something that cannot work on you when you are young, youth is gay, youth is married. As soon as the cares come, you see that the atmosphere has changed. Cares have come, afflictions have come, persecutions have come. You see that it's like you were alive, but something is now trying to kill you. And you need to have survival techniques for you need to be a spiritual Penguin to survive these things. Otherwise, all of you here, you'll see, you'll be singing, you'll be doing whatever. You see many of the ladies, some of the ladies that I work with, you see many of them. If you see them, you think they don't have families. Even me, you think I don't have a family. If I easily think that I don't have the family. You see, there is a way you overcome the cares of the world. But Paul said that let him that his might be as though he's not married. Yeah, there is a way. If you don't have that way it it that's over, You will say, I used to be in and you, you'll be listening. That's why I you, you'll be standing outside. You say, Oh yeah, yeah, I was part of that. I was part of that. You show your face. I said, look, I was, I was sweet, I was floating, I was jumping. I was just like that. But you see, there are things you don't understand. I was not always like this. I was trusting. I was believing. These are physical words that have been spoken by mothers to their children. Yeah, not as you think it is. How many are putting on your Penguin? I need spiritual Penguins in the in the 1st. Lecture If you are not a spiritual Penguin, it's just a matter of time. I see the penguinic anointings. Emperor Penguins, emperor Penguins, emperor Penguins, Sinan responsibilities. Say you are a man. You've got to provide for your. You are not practical. And so I said. I will not send my child to Lincoln School. My child is going to Dansom Dansoman School and he's going to be a founder because the the school was just at the next Rd. You can't walk when you walk there. That is it. Yeah. My child was the first child in the school. First child in the school. Yeah. It's an ambassador. Is it So if you are not practical, he will say I need to have this and you don't need to have anything. You just need to be practical and then you can make it. Are you listening to me? Are you really listening to what I'm I'm talking about? You see this, This is not a camp of prosperity. It's not a camp of prosperity. Now watch us. You see, watch closely. You see that we are, we are not lacking anything that is necessary. How many rooms can you sleep in? One day a man came and he announced I have got 17 toilets and bath in my house, 16 bedrooms with 17 toilets and bathrooms in my house and he was preaching his announces. My house has got 17 toilets and bathrooms and 16 bedrooms. He was preaching. He was preaching in England in a big church. He came from Africa. He said My house has got 16 bedrooms with 17 toilets and bathrooms. Wow. He was preaching in London and Africa. He was preaching to white people, who was seven. 17 toilets and bathrooms and 16 bedrooms. How many can you sit on? I love Jesus Christ. Do you love Jesus Christ? Are you sure you love Jesus? Then don't let a killer atmosphere kill your calling. Yeah, but a lot of people, they get married when they have some cares of the woman's life. I don't. I don't have time for you. When your husband touches you, you don't have time for me. Say, look, I have to look after. Can't you see that I've given that? Can't you see that I've given that look at the child. What should I do as I'm tired? What again? What the child should I do? Get to see. You can stand somewhere and say that I'm not a Good Wife, but you must decide I will not allow a care of the world. So then you gradually you become bitter and another single shrimp like slim system was not yet turned into a wrestler who becoming trotting like an antelope and you will come like a hippo potato. And then that sister will be coming. Antelope. Anointing. Wow. You are no more digital because on when you get your iPad or your iPad or your Galaxy or your Surface, there's a setting. There's a setting on it and they've written on it. Tap or tap or screw or tap and screw. So you touch if you want the page to turn. You are telling, oh, it's screw, you do this tap and screw. But if you are all this thing, you have to bring my glasses, hey. You have to leave the pages, but when you are a digitor all you scroll. Wow. That's when you were young and you were fresh and you were sweet. Why don't you decide I'll always be sweet? Excuse me? I said, Why don't you decide that I'll always be sweet? Why don't you take a personal decision? I'll always be sweet. Would it not be nice if you are always sweet? And would it not be nice if you are always sweet? Why don't you take a personal decision that will always be sweet, no matter the case of the world that you have? And I have decided I want to be sweet to Jesus. I will. I'm ready to jump for him. You, you, you, you, you, you, you. You see, And I'll be preaching at the connection. You say What a shock. A lot I don't I. Don't praise the Lord, praise the Lord. Amen. Please tell me your Bibles. But you see, in first love, I'll say tap, stop it, stop it, stop it, scroll, stop, stop it, scroll. I have to say tell there's nothing to tell you. Stop it. Some people over here are not are not scrollable. Some people over here, some people over here. I saw that with this part of my I saw that Rebecca, hey, hey, she's not dying. OK, you have bulletproof. OK, how many of you said I'll always be sweet? Say I'll always be sweet, I'll always be nice, I'll always be an antelope. Will you be a hip hopatimus? Go. Go, go, go. Antelope hip hopatimus. Antelope. Hippo mother hippopotamus. Father hippopotamus. Grandmother Hippopotamus. A killer atmosphere cannot kill my anointing, cannot kill my calling, cannot kill my person, cannot kill my zeal. Antigo, Antigo. Mother Mother. Mother. Tired mother. None young antelope dancing antelope tell never always be sweet. Sit down. #4 the deceitfulness of riches is is the next atmosphere riches when you taste. Small pounds, small dollars, small EUR, small salary. Small salary, you never had the salary before. Small salary, single spine. What back pay? Back pay? Back pay When you take small deceitfulness of riches. When you get a car for the first time, When you get ACD player in your car and you start to play Mozart. Small car that you had Hyundai I-10, now you have changed. Small riches, Small riches. It has affected you so much. You see money has an effect on people. They change so much by money, especially the expressions of money. You see when when you show money in a certain way, it shows how much you like it 1st as if you have a wife or you have their beloved when you keep showing heads. Oh, this is my beloved oh, come beloved, this is my beloved 00 Sally, I've got my beloved. Can I come with my beloved? Oh this is my. Beloved. Oh, Sally, fine. Oh, you look fine. Fine. So you keep on going. So this is my beloved. Oh, this is my beloved. If I I keep bringing. I keep bringing. So you keep showing. It shows how much you like it, shows how much you like your beloved. So you see, when you have money and you keep showing the money, you have to show it with the car, show it with the house, show it with a party, show it with a certain display, show it in a certain way of doing a wedding, show it in a certain way, whatever. All those shows of money, type of car, type of whether it's showing wealth, that that thing reveals how much you love money. Not only that you are using money customer. There are people who use a lot of money, but they don't love money, you see. But when you love it, it's revealed in the display of certain things, the symbols of wealth, the gold, the jewelry, the lifestyle, certain things. It's all a show of how much you you like or love something. It's always shown in the display of it. So you see, even in the vision, there are people who have and they use a lot of money and they don't love the vengeance. So you don't see the money. Yes. So you need to to work with money, but not to love money. Yeah. And so as soon as money can, it's very deceptive. And you feel one of the deceptions is that you need more of it. You see, like the poem said, it's not enough that still the rich man wanted more. I want more. I've got a Hyundai, but I want a Toyota. I've got a Toyota, but I want a Lexus. I want a Lexus. And I want a Benz. I've got a Benz. I've got an E Class. I want an E Class, S class, this class W class. All classes and all it it. It is the revelation of money and the show of money. Yeah. So that if you have a beloved or somebody that you love, you see, you see that you are sitting together. Yeah, you are sitting together or you go to a place together or you show the person. People know the person. Oh, yeah. This is my beloved. You are proud of the person. Fine, fine, Fine. Fine. Fine, fine, fine. You say you physically say you're fine. The small London that you go now, I see that you've changed so much, The London one London that there are some people when they climb the staircase of KLM, they said this staircase has a climate I shall never return back to the of Ghana. You will do anything and everything. Never. I will never come back to Ghana again. I will forsake everything. I will do anything and everything to be there. Yeah. Yeah, I will. Never as I've climbed the step 1-2. This is KLM. Yeah. Blue color blue. I'm coming. I look back. Never again, Mr. I will never back in your doorway with my shadow. It's true. So you must. You must have these things. But you don't die for it. People do too much to live in rich countries. Too much, they do too many things. Ambala was telling me how he he walked, walked through the desert. We went to Niger and we walked from Niger to Algeria to get there. When they got to Algeria, they have to pay 1500. So when they are walking through the desert, you see that people are they die of the way they die and there's no water and they start to drink urine. You drink urine, you urinate. If you are not able, you urinate. A woman will urinate each other. That women's dream is stronger. It's able to help them more. No, not somebody told me. But I'm listening, practically, sitting here telling me practically what they did. And when they get to to Algeria, they cross the sea and the brother was telling me how to work. I'm about to cross the sea. They brought a boat, a rubber boat and they used it to cross the sea. And he said, I'm dead. The boat that went, everybody died. And I was reading a newspaper. So many said that that year that so many, how many people have died this year? This year died in the in the sea trying to cross from Nigeria to France to, to, to Spain. Yeah. And even though everybody died, they also went in the boats. People cannot swim through the storms, the rain, the dark, so that they can go for days. When they come, when they reach the land, they are back in Algeria, because you can see that the sea is far. We do so much to to to move into a country for, for for mining. Yeah, that is why when I see people who don't want to work for when I say you don't, who don't want to work for me. You want to take the reward of the unsaved dead and send people to a Christ less grave by your decisions. He says. Will I be your choice? Will you choose me or will you choose to work for Chigo, Choose to give your quality life and start a struggle as a missionary or as a servant of the Lord, as a minister, as a shepherd. I'm telling you, take it from me. It will never subtract from your life. It will only add to you. My life has not, My life has not been demoted by by choosing to serve God. Rather in every area become more intelligent and more advanced. I never knew that even a pastor, pastors would one day be respected so much even in Ghana that even you make a comment and they will even be playing it and so on. Yeah, one guy was one guy was telling me one, one person was telling me that he was listening at the like just as we were just a couple of days before. They were fighting on one of the radio stations. Then I presented ABP and ABC fighting on the scene anywhere. OK, OK, they round up. As we close this program, we want to leave you with the words of Daki Bishop. Daki. What? Mills? Then they just play the tape. So they are all the same Mukwai, Ali, Mukwai. That's all I tell you weeks and months after I I I I I, I I appreciate and As for me, I, I stand by what I said. They are, they are, it's almost the same. They are the same. There will be very little difference in Ghana after foreign whether NPP or NDC are in town. And NDC have promised us anyway free basic education from now and free SHS from 2016 going. And they have promised to build 200 new senior SHS and 10 new teacher training colleges. And they are increasing the sadder support of farmers from 16,000 to 40,000. And they are going to rehabilitate the Abbaso glass factory and the Kumasi juice factory. And there are four months of steel and iron industry all. These are going to be done in the next 4 years and they are going to improve and give us a strong economy with single digit inflation, a strong currency and 8% GDP percent. Growth rate, yes. All these are going to be fulfilled. For the next 4 years. Hey, what a Ghana? What a Ghana. Fantastic 2 are not good, so we are all here. Deceitfulness of precious don't let it change you. Some of you have never been to a shop where there's everything in the shop. So the day you go abroad and you enter the shop. Everything is here. Look at sugar. Look at milk. Look at. Look out there. Look at. I'll stay here. I'll stay here, brother. I'll never leave. I'll never go. Huh. I'll sleep here. I'll stay there. I won't go again. Yeah, I'll go again. Nah. When when I first went to Switzerland with my mother when I was a little child like that, at least one I remember I said I will not come to Ghana again. Yeah. I mean, I don't remember many things in my child, but this one I remember. I remember I said that I will not lead Switzerland. No, it's the nicest place that was like this and I could speak German fluently. You see, I don't often say my nationalities. You have been saying that I'm 1/2 caste, so occasionally I have to bring the other half to balance. The equation has your name. Why are you not smiling? I mean what, what, what attitude do you have? What? What is in your mind? Is there a problem? We are, we are, we are undergoing atmosphere control. Atmosphere control. And the last killer atmosphere is the last for other things. So the seed enters the ground, you understand, and then it's about to do well. Then it hits the first killer atmosphere, affliction atmosphere. Then it hits, it's over. Most people are gone by then. Then it hits other more deceptive atmospheres, like cares of the world atmosphere that tell yourself, baby or no baby, I'm jumping. If your breasts are too big and heavy from having they jump, they told, they told, come down, follow you to obey. If you are experiencing wrestling, you are becoming a wrestler. Jump decide. I'm not old. I'm telling you because some of you, you see some of you are planning to change, but I'm praying that you will get the revelation. How old are you? 23 years old? How old are you? 25? How will you be like when you are 50, 25 years? Will you be standing and saying how I was sweet, I was sweet, I was not always like this? Stand to your feet, everybody.
