07. Severe Testings That Affect Those Going Into Missions

Welcome to track #7 of the Volante. All right. No, sorry. Sit down. All right, We will have a break. For we win. For coffee, for everything. No one should go out or come in. OK, Is it clear? No. We win. Your bladder can contain as much. We win for hours. From now till 7:00 tomorrow morning. Even you can stay without win. Do not go out. We win. Do not go out to make coffee. Do not go out to make phone calls at the camp. From here, you go out. I will even drive you out. You see, I'm not personally afraid of personally telling you these things. It's not a problem for me. Yeah. So please don't. Don't do anything that is untoward. All right. Now severe testings of those who want to go on the mission. Number one, the test of Adam and Eve and all the tests we are going to go through are tests that come, have come to people and they are all somehow related to financial things. So that's why I said that somebody said if this person is in the house, there is no need of what the devil. And that also is a very important saying that if certain things are in the system, there is no need. There is no need for the devil, you know. So once the financial things are there, there's no need for the devil. So you find out that most of the testings have related to do with money, money, money, money. Amen. So #1 the test of Adam and Eve, they face the test of money. All right. And they failed. And the woman said to the serpent, May we eat of the fruit of the tree of the garden? For the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, you shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. But the serpent said, You shall not surely die. All right. Now, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food. Amen. OK, are you there? God gives you 1010 million trees and says I have this tree that I want, that a personal tree and that is the other tree that you want. Isn't that fantastic? If you like, go and check how many types of trees there are thousands. But this is the only tree that he wants. Because the devil is able to point out to you that of all trees, this is the only tree you must have. Isn't it not amazing? And he continues to do that today, to present to us one particular tree that we need to have. You need to have this. You have everything to have. What to eat, what to drink, how to sleep. We have. But we want to sleep in Canada and eat in Canada and drink in Canada. So people lose. The lose other than Eve failed the test and instead of being God's special creation, they became the first rebels, the first people to be sacked and the beginning of many, many more people who are going to be sacked in the future. I have been sacked before. I was working as a cleaner. At the end of the week they said no, no, no, no, no, you are not a good cleaner. It's because of other than that I was sacked, I tell you, because they introduced sacking into this world and, and here I was being sacked. All right. So I believe that being happy with what you have is a very, very, very, very important thing. You don't need much in this life, but most of us are not happy with what we have. When you leave the church, you'll find out that it's a good church. Recently I was talking with somebody who left the church for eight years and came back and he told me. He said. I want to give you some information about those who live. Yeah, you want to know what he said? Is that about those who leave? He said. I'll tell you something, He said. They are always looking at the website. Isn't that fantastic? They are always looking to see what is happening. For eight years he was looking at the website and finally said, look, I'm going back inside you. Wow, it's wonderful. But as we are in the church, you think Lighthouse, there's there's, there's, there's not. The devil is there's a better something somewhere. You, you won't have the some of the people who you don't like, some people you don't flow with some people in the church. So as a Bishop, I don't have a problem with him. You don't have a problem with me, but you have a problem with somebody that is under me. It means you got a problem with me long ago. I learned something. If the person who I have put there, you don't flow with the person means you don't flow with me actually. So I actually measure my relationship with you by how you are able to relate with the person that has been put there. It's true. You see, Bishopsaki is a very, is very wise one. It's a very wise. I don't know where he got that wisdom from. That's on many occasions there have been people that did not work well with me. Give me, instead of listening to the message, try to increase the volume. Where, where? Where are the strikers? I think the guys at the back are not attentive. OK now. OK, just just prepare all the troops. On many occasions through the years, there have been people who would not either. They don't work well with me or maybe they don't flow well with me. And many times I just say, you know, go to Bishop Saki, work with him. You will go and work with him every time without fail. When I when I meet with him, he'll say, you know, somebody who doesn't work well with you. I don't like their pacing. I don't like the paper. I said I don't want such a person. I don't want such a person. I said Oh no, this is how how I am. The person is not that you are nicer. Kinda. No, no. No, no, no, no. No, I don't like the person. He has never accepted even half of the person before. You learned it with experience. If somebody doesn't flow with the person who is there, it doesn't flow with you. That's true. Only he hasn't seen you to manifest it on you personally because you are not around long enough. That rudeness will soon be manifested on you. So you, you if, if, if pastor somebody is an overseer, somebody is a generous repentance, somebody is there the president, you have to watch your relationship. So it's like I, I would not see Jesus Christ. I've not seen him yet, but I can see maybe Bishop Duncan Williams. I have to somehow do well in relation to him. No matter what happens. It's very important to me. It's important. So all those things are important. Sometimes you see somebody who don't get on with your mother, don't get on with your biological father. Anytime I see especially a lady, I don't know why a lady who doesn't flow with her father, though it it worries me for the person don't flow with your father at all. I don't like it. Dangerous. You must flow with your father. There are always daughters who are daddies girls and then daughters who are. It's like the rebellious child who doesn't understands father at all. One day I I saw a lady she her father married another woman. Her mother was there. But her father left her mother and went and married, stayed with another lady. But this lady, she stayed with her father, and she looked after him. She cooked for him. He smiled another woman and left her mother. But she stayed with him, with this other woman, and then looked after her father, cooked for her father, did everything for her father. Her father was sick, did everything. And the father died. And I realized a very important and very good spirit in the person, because whether your father has gone for another woman, are you at the same age level with your father to be advising him or to be annoyed with what he is doing? Do you know the attitude of your mother? Do you know how difficult your mother is that even your father left her and went? Or do you know whether it was? Do you know whether your mother was unfaithful to your father? That your father is a good Joseph? He's not even saying it. You don't know anything you've just added yourself to. You've grown up by 40 years, joined your father at that level and joined the quarrel. You are now three quarreling father, mother and daughter together. You've made a three-way quarrel. How do you think you would do? Well, do you understand what I'm saying? What I'm saying is that a child is not a grown up. Don't join yourself to grown up quarrels. So what are we even talking about? How do we get into all these things? Yeah, yeah. You don't like what you are. Some of you don't like your family. You don't like your pastor, you don't like your church. Like it's a very important church and it's important that you relate. Well. Amen. Are you there? Yeah. You say you don't like me. Every day I'm preaching about kill yourself for Jesus. You've seen another tree, you are going for that tree. The devil is calling you go for that tree. You see that as you move out, you'll be surprised. What do you go and find? Amen. Are you there? So what? What I'm saying is Adam and Eve failed their tests and you are not going to fail your tests. We are doing Pascos, Pasc question. Abraham was tested #2 in the area of money, and he passed the test. Amen. Now he passed it in two ways #1 he was tested. When God said leave your country, go. And he went. When God says leave America, go. Amen. One God says leave, go, go, go. OK, what do you think? Are you ready to go? Amen. Don't let money keep you back from your calling. You get it. Go, go, go, go, go, go out of that state to the next state. You never know. And don't do it because of money. Don't say, oh, there will be better opportunities there. Go because God says go. That's going to use you. Kujo is one of the earliest stand up Kujo. It's one of the earliest missionaries, late missionaries we've ever had. He left Toronto and went to Vancouver long ago and I always respect him for that. Whether the church becomes 1000 people or whether it becomes 10 people, there's nothing like obedience and going because you were asked to go. Yeah. Look, let me tell you, a secretary, anytime you see somebody working with someone, you just write it somewhere. There are reasons why the person works with the person that you can't see. Yeah, yeah. The the, the reason that you think the person has been chosen is usually not the reason I'm telling you. And sometimes there are the people that work with me most, You never know why I work with them. Most of the reasons are are submerged reasons. They are. You will not even believe that it's the reason if I tell you, will not even believe it's the reason. Yeah, it's true. So just going going is is a great thing. You've done a great work. Think that for me. Amen. So I want to encourage all of you. There is nothing like going somewhere because you are being asked to go. There's nothing like just doing, doing, doing. And we've got to do things. Break out of the control of mine. God, Abraham, go out of your country. I'm used to New York. I know the way I know here. I know here. I can get jobs. I can do this. When I was trying to get Pastor George to leave New York, Hey, how I struggled. The jewel has given me a lot of struggles, it's true. And you should thank me for my persistence because because to come to America, I was trying to send him from England to come to America. Hey, he was selling water in England. That was the work he was doing was a water company, a company that makes bottled water. He was the a sales agent and he was selling the water. Go to would you buy water? Would you buy water? Because of that? I will talk with him one day. I borrowed him. He he was going somewhere and I was also going somewhere and through where he was going, I adjusted my journey to just follow him to where he was going. I sat on train here here with I would just follow him like a dog, trying to convince him about being a pastor. Until out of intense frustration with my persistence, my doggedness, he said, look, I am allergic to this subject. I'm allergic to this subject. He said it to me. He said it to you. What a shock, what a shock. Look this section here this section here are suffering from that is too delayed fire. Look, to get Abraham to move out of his country, start a sporting, then to get him to move from New York. I thought you said leave, leave. I said the church will be OK. You see, many of you don't know where you are. It will be OK when you are not there. You see, the church is very is very resilient. That's also now when people rangolize, they break the break away from the churches. So you'll be surprised how the church doesn't seem to. Yeah, yeah. One day I went to a certain country which was in financial crisis. When I go to the country, I say, ah, yeah, I don't see the financial crisis here. And the man who has lived in that country for more than 20 years, he gave me a proverb. He said even when an elephant loses weight, it is bigger than a fox or a dog. And sometimes the church goes through a little bit of up and down, you see. But when an elephant even loses weight, you see that it's jumping very big. We got on a fox or a dog or any of those animals. So sometimes you see the church seem to go to us. So we have lost our members and not. But you see the church is Brazilian. You see the times that the church is even bigger. It's amazing. Yeah. You see that? Amen. So I'm telling you, some of you think the whole thing depends on you. That's independent. That's why I felt free to leave the Kodesh. I don't go Sundays. I go and drop my daughter and I just drive out my church. I drive, drop it and I drive. When I came back, the church has grown bigger. I left them last year. I preached about once or twice there. This year I was there for the beginning of the year. I left them. They've rather grown bigger. I say, you see now all the things have been. It wasn't working. Somebody has come. Now that one is working. It's fantastic. So sometimes we feel that we are the ones doing something. No, no. So Abraham, you see, go, go, go. I was when I was when I was thinking past the Joel from England, it was like I was spoiling the London church. Oh yeah, I was spoiling the London church because the main 2 pastors, even they were so close that you can't even see who is the leader or who is the senior. That's how they were and they was like, I'm spoiling. So I said you go the same thing, went leave New York to go to Atlanta, come and see. I talked one day I had a meeting with him in Seattle. Come and see so that we were I said you should go and say OK, no, but because so this so he was doing this until a certain car came to crush him. Is it which accident did you have you had an accident? Was it a bus or what? A taxi? God sent a taxi. Come and smash him. Then I call. I called him. I didn't know, Sir Bishop. I almost died. I said I almost died. You will die. Actually. You will continue to be there. Before he moved to Atlanta. Atlanta. Yeah. You see, Abraham, he passed with the flying colors. Not everybody passes excellently. I'm telling you, it's not easy to move. It's not easy to move. Then he was in Atlanta. I said move. That one to became. We went to Mexico to discuss it. People don't like that. As for Abraham, it was not a problem for him. He just passed say go OK, there were two parts of Abraham's financial testing. Another time came when he went out with lots and they they had there was some conflict. Where should you choose if it had been asked would have said, look, there are more financial possibilities here and he would have chosen the rich place that he told lot. Look, you just have the have whatever. I don't mind. I'm not into money. I'm not into whatever. I don't mind not having such a place. I will have whatever God has chosen for me. But you, you would have chosen oh this UKUSA this that you see, we keep on choosing the best financially the best. He chose where it was green when he chose, when he left God. And God said, come and see what I've chosen for you. God said all here, I've given it to you. Wow, what a shock. Amen. So Abraham, he didn't. And I want you to be like Abraham. Don't choose America, choose what God wants for you. That's what you choose every day. You keep on choosing riches, you keep on choosing man. What does it do? Where did Lot end up after choosing all these things? That's why I said that when you choose money, you end up with many temptations, many foolish lust smells. What perdition, Distractions, traps. Stop choosing according to that way and keep choosing God's way. God's choice is the best choice for me, even in marriage. Marriage is like LOTO. You never know what you've chosen. You don't even know what you've chosen to to after you've chosen it. It's one of the most fantastic choices. I wonder how a young person can ever decide what to marry. No, you don't know yourselves. How many realize are you? You are now knowing after you've been married for some time what it is about. No, you've chosen already and and the goalkeeper is already committed. Huh. Is it not amazing you already committed you are in it, but choose for God. Most of the people that have been a blessing to me, I didn't choose them. God choose them for me. God say the people that work with me, that work well with me, I didn't choose them. It's amazing. I wouldn't have chosen them. Almost everyone of them wouldn't have chosen them, and God would choose them. I say OK, come. And there are reasons, so let God choose. How many are going to allow gods to be choosing things for you? I believe it. Amen. Who's the next person #3 Esau. He failed the test terribly. Hebrews 12, verse 16. Let's there be any fornicator of profane persons, such as Esau, who for one morsel of myth he sold his ministry for one plate. Sold his birthright. Think about that small bread. You give up your whole ministry. So is he didn't do well at all with his test. We are going to take a break soon for lunch. OK, few minutes, few minutes. We finishing the test. Wow, Esau, they say everybody has his price. Everybody has his price. Yeah, everybody has some something that he will. You can pay him. How much are you worth? That's why I would. I would say you should be priceless. I don't come and sing for me. Maybe there's some other person here from a church. After the service, the person will come and see her and say how much does he pay you? How much, How much, how much does he pay you? I'll give you. Yeah, I'll give you this. How much is it he pays you in CDs? Calculated times 1.5 is equal to this amount in dollars. And this is not an imagination. I know it happens. Yeah. Everybody's supposed to have this price. So decide to be priceless. Priceless. There's no price. You're not working for a price. What do you think? How much do they, how much do they give you? Priceless. That's that's the power of the laid ministry. Because you are priceless. There's no amount you work for. There's no figure that you are paid. In fact, we are now even going to go into that area where you now bring money. I mean, I wanted to establish some something. We have some kind of elders or some other whatever that if you even pay money and be part of that group, give a feather sacrifice. I mean, I've just thought I just it's just something that is now coming since I have to think about it. It's like something that it's like even join that group and it's like it's even more of a sacrifice. Yeah. That that that that's how come even you can be faithful. It's it's something we are coming to the next section of the camp called the Volante. One day a certain worship leader, he was so anointed. He made so many beautiful songs. I feel like singing a few of them now, but you would know who he is. So I wouldn't sing many of those songs. He was offered a ministry figure, everything in America. So he left his position. That's why I said that everybody is supposed to have a prize. And he was offered a figure and a position and he left. I never heard of him again. And one day I was watching a Christian television and I saw him being interviewed because he was a famous guy. And he said, look, I left my church, I went to America, I followed this thing, said when I got it was not as it was at all the things that the people promised they didn't do. And what unforeseen and what unexpected difficulty, he lost everything and went, yeah. Is it not amazing this whole W ship, everything just went into the air because it had a price. What price do you have? You know, the price less. Even if you, if you work for me, even if you are paid a salary, you must be priced less. No price. There's no price on the work you are doing because there's no price for my working with you or for you. There's no figure. It's not based on a figure. One day young Icho went to a certain country with all the board members and at that time there was a board member who came from a country whose name starts with an N. It was a big test. When they finished, Yongicho preached everything big conference. When they finished, this board member called the associates and asked him how much do they give you in this church? I mean not, I'm not telling you a fairy, I'm telling it happened practically. That was they made them suck that guy from the board because you go to somebody's church and you spoil the church. He asked the associate how much that do they give you? He said I'll give you, he doubled it, I'll give you this and the guy followed him. Assistant pastor. You see, people have a price. It happened practically and they sacked that guy from the board so he can no more be found on the board. So what I'm trying to explain to you, dear Christian friend, is that there must be no price on the things you are doing. Oh, Bishop, what I'm doing for you, this is what it this is what I involved. And at this point it's finished. Most of my relations are not like that. Even even my beloved when I was in a relation. So there was no financial aspect. I have to give money. I have to buy this. I don't know. It was when I got married, I learned how to buy dresses or shoes. Because for me, my problem is I see the dress. I can't relate it because when girls are wearing dresses, it's round, you see, But when it's hanging there, it's straight. So I, I couldn't, I couldn't get the formula of how it works. Or you don't understand what, what the problem I'm talking about. This is straight like that. So I couldn't, I can't relate it to how it is when they are wearing it. So I never understood it. I never displayed money to my actually I would just maximum effort that we ever went out to eat, would buy spring rolls, 22 portions and I would eat 1 of hers. I was not from a poor family. I'm not from a poor family. I've never really been a poor person in any form or fashion. But I guess it didn't occur to me that I've not relate with you because of Bishop Sati or Bishop Ed. It's nothing like that. How much does he give you? How much? I don't even know what the end. Yeah, relationship now with Papa, he saw your price was just a what is how much? Look, take one, just sign one plate of rice is enough for some of your price is a bit low. I mean, even if you have a price, it should be a bit high. My Chinese dinner, now you are sleeping. Your price is a bit low. They bought a ticket for you to come to America and you are sleeping with somebody. Your price is too low. It should be a bit expensive to sleep with. Did you get it? It should be a bit expensive to sleep with. Don't don't have to sleep with a lot of people. It should be difficult to sleep with when you get married. It should be easy to sleep with my husband. Some of you transfer the former into the new becomes a beast. So besides, I am priceless. Amen. If if we were in another setting, I would share something with you. I wish I would share something with you about a price, a figure that you can buy somebody with, Amen. But I can't share that. I'm learning not to share everything. Wow, what a shock #4 Akan Akan was tested with money again. Now the four mistakes of Akan, number one, Joshua 721 The four mistakes of Akan, He said what I saw among the spoils a goodly, you know the story of Akan, OK, You know that he went, he went to fight. And then he took some of the money and the things. They were not supposed to take it, but he took it, OK. When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment and 200 shekels of silver and a wedge of gold, and 50 shekels with Then I coveted them and I took them, and behold, they are hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. Wow. What are the four mistakes? Number one saw? When I saw See second mistake I coveted, I saw second mistake I coveted, third mistake I took and 4th mistake I hid. I saw it, I took it, I converted it and I hid it. We came to America, you saw we converted all the things that were here. I took them and then what? I hid them. You know, one day I went somewhere. I went to a place I've not been there before. As soon as I entered, I converted it. I wanted it. I said I want to have something like this. I will never forget the feeling of covetousness that gripped my soul. And from that day I started to cast out confetiousness. I didn't call it confetiousness, but I I knew there was something wrong with me. The way I felt I I must have this. I didn't like it in myself. I didn't like it. I thought there was something wrong with me. It was not for me, but I wanted it. It's true. No, he just said he cast the devil out in the evening and he cast it out also in the morning. And I felt it when I, when I entered the place and I want this should be for me. I thought there was something something wrong with me. I saw and I coveted and I took it and I hid it. I said no, no. You see, this is the test of seeing the. I thank God every time I arrive in America, every time I arrive in Swiss, as we are driving out of the airport where I want to live, I you've noticed always when yesterday, when we trust this place. I want to go. But I don't feel that way when I'm in Kintampu or in some village. I feel this. I want to be here. I want to do something at this place. Yeah, it's true. But I remember because that that thing I was in, I was in a place of pushness and beauty and not Ghana. And I said this, me, I I remember that feeling. How many of I remember the times that you felt last? Brothers, sisters, don't worry about yourself. I'm talking to the brothers now. Brothers, don't you remember any time you had some serious lustful feeling? Jesus, Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. But it's not only lust for ladies. We feel and sometimes lust for things in the world. I want this house, I want this car. I don't want to like any car, shoes, clothes. I don't want to like any particular no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. That is why I don't wear those. They are all those. They are available, but where is the toy? I wear the toy. I prefer the toy, $3. You wear the toy. What do you think? Yeah, but I I can remember. How many can remember a feeling like that you've had before in America? Some of you when you came here. I said I saw, I must stay. So if you are even illegal, you are illegally here. You are illegally here. But when you saw, you took, you converted and you said I will go. I will never go. I will never. I will stay here. I will get some. I will take it. I will never leave you or forsake you. I'm here. I'll take it. I will keep it. I will never. I saw this. What this what happened to Ekar? What he saw? He failed the test. I saw. I I took it and I hid it. Now you are in hiding. You have now hidden yourself also. It happens. Look, This is why we can't do the work of God, because when you saw America, you said this is it, forget about the ministry. One day there was a certain brother who left our church and he's when he started church then he printed leaflets and went around inviting our church members. This was many years ago, and I wouldn't be surprised if you are having something like that here as well. You're having that here as well. Yeah. Don't go for such things and don't be a go between. Don't be a double agent. Yeah. Don't be a double agent right here you are there. Don't be sending texts about what I'm preaching to anybody. Yeah, it's not a good attitude and God is going to send you a betrayer to your life. You will see. You will see an an Absalom and an Ahit of her. If it's not a pastor, it will be your your child. You wait and see. So this guy started sending letters and invitation that he printed. You get it. I was telling you something I'm going to tell you this time, huh. And he came to a certain brother and gave him one of the leaflets on a park in that far park and said, I'm inviting you to our church. We are. We are at the cathedral and you have come to start a church just nearby. And he said, no, why are you giving me this? So he saw me later and he told me, Bishop, this is not the first time somebody has left the church and brought such a paper to invite me. I said, really? He said, yeah. He said, San Diego, I belong to another church. We were happy in the church. Then one of the pastors got up and said he is going to start another church. So he moved out of the church and we all followed him because we didn't know. We didn't know. He said that was my first experience. So this guy who had left us and has come to see him on the pack giving him the IT was his second experience. He said this thing, I've followed 1 before. I've followed this same thing before. So anyway they said they followed the guy and they went to start a church and they bought a bus, a church bus and painted on the bus. Jesus victory, something over enemies God is giving us. And they bought drums and instruments and they started and said the chest was working powerfully. Then one day this pastor who had left the chest and bought a bus, and he was like that chest was really moving with instruments and everything, had an invitation to America. When he had the invitation to America, he informed the church that he was going for a visa and that God was going to use him even greater, more mightily in America. So they should all pray. So the whole church prayed and he went for the visa and by the grace of God he was granted an American visa. So he was just coming for a programme, I think two or three weeks. He came. When he came, he saw and when he saw he converted. And when he converted he took and when he took he hid. And he hid himself in America and he never went back to Ghana until today. So this brother who had followed this first guy who with whom they have bought a vast and they have written victory over the enemies and so on. When they bought new drums and everything, what they were in the chest waiting and praying for their father. He will always call and say that God is moving powerfully. He has even been invited somewhere. He's going here. He's going here 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, six weeks, 8 weeks, 9 weeks until weeks went by, months went by. They realized that Opana is not coming back again. He is not coming back, and he never came back. So because of that, because of that, this brother, now they didn't know what to do in the church because the person he had followed has now left. So they decided, he decided to join lighters. That's how he came to our church and he's a pastor in the church today. And he said this guy came invited with a leaflet and he said vested, vested. I've seen one before. I've seen the same thing before. They behave in the same way all the time. In Zurich, we had the same thing. The pastor was a pastor of our church for five years. When he left the church, he had a mailing list, addresses of everybody. He would send emails to all our church members. He's doing this program, come. Everybody should come like that all the time. We all behave in the same way. It's amazing. Don't follow bad things. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, Amen. But I'm saying that you see it's so easy. The devil can easily get you small test. I saw, I coveted, I took, I hid, I finished. Or you hide yourself a mobile, Amen. So how many people have you seen being tested so far? You have 4. Who was the first person who was tested? Alam and Eve. Who was the second person who was tested? Who was the third person who was tested? Who was the 4th person who was tested? Akan #5 Balam. You know the story of Balam. He was supposed to be a prophet of God, but he ended up the he had a prize. When they were asking for money, they said, give me some money, will you come? You're often a lot. In the end he went, he got to go, go, go, go, go, go. He became a sorcerer. When you follow the temptation of money, you become a sorcerer. He became a wizard. A prophet of God was converted into a sorcerer and he was killed by the Israelites. Instead of the Israelites bringing him offerings, they killed him. In Joshua 13 verse 22, Babo says Balaam also the son of Bir the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them. He was slain with the sword. Are you there? Elisha Balam was slain instead of the members bringing him off and they went, rose up and killed him. Is it not sad how many of you are going to say money, money, money? You cannot control me. It's finished. If I'm finished with you, I'm finished with you. Say ma'am, when I'm finished with you. No, I'm finishing. I'm finished. Number six, Elijah. Elijah was tested with money. Neyman offered him money. He said no, no, I don't want your money. You know why he didn't want the money? Because Neyman, the Syrian who was offering to pay him was an idol worshipper. He was an idol worshipper and he knew. He said, if not, please let your servant be at least given 2 mules, for your servant will no longer offer whatever but to the Lord. Then he said notice in Second Kings chapter 15 verse 18, he said in this matter, may the Lord pardon your servants. When my master goes into the House of Raymond to worship, he's going to worship the idol. He was telling Elijah, please, I beg you to overlook that part, but I'm going to continue worshipping idols. And he, he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the House of Ramon. When I bow myself in the House of Ramon. May the Lord pardon your servant in this matter. Elisha, I don't like your money. Please don't like your money. Elisha could not be. So I don't accept your things. But his servant gehazi #7 #7 you cannot separate these two, Gehazi. He fails. How many I've been passing and how many I've been feeling? The leprosy of Neyman shall cleave unto thee, Second Kings, chapter 5, verse 27 and unto thy seed. And he went out from his presence a leper, white as snow. He got the money of Neyman and he also got his leprosy. The. OK, how many are going to go home with the leprosy of America, get the money and take the leprosy and the things that are here as well, messy. How many are going to go away from this place with the leprosy of America, the incurable diseases? Everybody has a price. Some of you, you are so weak that you can even become homosexuals. You just need to meet a rich homosexual. He'll give you his complimentary card. Just look. He's just your anus. Turn around. Just turn around. Turn around. No fine #8 job. Now how was Job tested with money? And the Lord said to Satan, does Job serve you for nothing? Does Job fear God for nothing? Is he not serving you because he has some benefits? Wow, how many are ready to serve God without a benefit? You see something when we remove the benefit, then we'll see whether you really serve the Lord or not. Does Job serve you? Is he not serving you because there's some benefits? Is there not a benefit in the thing? OK, let's take away the benefits and see if he will serve you. So they took away the benefits and they tested him. See they bent all his business every all the benefits was gone. Will he still serve God? And he said I will still serve God, no benefits. Will you still? Will you serve God? No benefits? I will serve God, no benefits. That's why he passed the test. Joe passed the test excellently and few people passed the test. You have to pay me. I mean Andy, who has come to play, it has not even OK to me to give him money to come and play. Rather it's an honour to me. I think that you are being honoured to come and play, but talk about how to pay you. But for some people to come and pay the organ, I tell you, you'll be surprised how much it is per hour, per song they chat, per song they sing, per note, per key, per whatever. What? And he said just don't just just scare you for nothing. Is that not some benefit in that he has seen that it's good to serve you and remove the benefit. And let's say whether he will still serve you. Let's see whether he will serve you. No benefits. And that's why we are presenting people as false Jesus. We are saying to people we want to serve, we want you to serve, but it's like you'll be blessed, you'll be blessed. So when there's no blessing, what we are calling blessed, oh, we can't serve God again when God says, OK, I've removed the so-called benefits. Yeah, because you see, sometimes we are looking at pastors as film stars. If I, if I say go and become a man of God, I'll fly here, I'll go here, I'll do this, I'll do this, just like it seems that I've seen. So your mind is on certain benefits, But what about if the benefit has been removed and you have been sent to Congo Brazzaville and all the benefits of being here or being there or going well, all is gone. Will you still that most of us won't. Yeah. You say no, no, no, not me. Amen. Are you listening to me? Does Does Job save you for nothing? He's getting something. What are you getting from the church? Be honest. What are you getting from the church? What? What do they give you? Yeah. What do they give you? What? Our guys in the Healing Jesus Crusade. Fine. Bring the strike striking force. I need quick. China, China. China. OK, all right, OK, all right. And this direction, what is it this brother who is sitting by you see the lady in the lady on up. Otherwise I will add you to the but who who couldn't be the lot? The Brother The Brother stand up and receive your firing squad fire. Not the sister who was sent in by him was trying to cover for him. Fire, fire, fire. Are you afraid of her? OK, OK. It seems you are afraid of America's Somebody should take it. He knew that he was doomed, so he did it for himself. The next class is Peter. Peter was tested with money and he passed the test. When Jesus went fishing in Luke chapter 5, he told him past your net on the other side, and they brought so much to the land that the boat was even beginning to sink. Immediately Peter knelt down and said, My Lord and my God, I will follow you. But today, if it had been, some of us would have said, I would like to do a partnership with you. Lord, I will take my boats, You will show me where the fish are, and then I'll use it to support you in the ministry. Yeah. And then we'll do a deal and through our partnership we can expand this fishing business. But as soon as Jesus sends the presence and the power of God, he suddenly says this whole fishing thing is up nest of no relevance. It is God and the greatness of God that I want rather than an expansion or furtherance of this kind of business. As in some of us, we hear God speaking to us over and over again, but when He shows us so clearly that he is here in his presence, we rather choose to further the financial one. And if Peter had done that, he would have become an empty millionaire instead of becoming an apostle So many times, instead of becoming a great apostle that God wants you to become, you would rather chosen to become some empty businessman or you would have rather become an apostle. He just left the whole business. Everything I've seen God once I've seen God, I can. What is money? He forsook it instantly. There was no question about it. But so many of us, we see God and we see money. The two are there side by side and we say, let me go for the money and expand it better. Instead of becoming a great apostle, some of you have become something else. You'd have been a great something else that you I mean look at Peter, a great apostle instead of a great fishing whatever fishing magnet that have gone into deep freezing cold stalls expansion. You show me you Lord, you have the prophetic eye to see where the fish are. You and I will make a good partnership. Money was now out of the question, but now God. I've seen God. You'll see God there. Is there something like that? You'll see God there. You see God. You see through it. You see there's God. I've seen God. God is greater than medicine. God is greater than law. God is greater than business. God is greater than money. God is greater than everything we are searching for. We are working for. God is and I've seen God. I see God. I leave everything. I go for God. I've seen God there. You want to be an empty doctor, an empty lawyer, rather than a great apostle or a great servant of the Lord. Today even Peter is spoken of as somebody who is at the gate of heaven. So when I go to heaven, I see Peter. He's the commonest person we refer to when I see Peter at the gate. When I see Peter at the gate, his name is synonymous with heaven because when God was offered to him, he immediately set aside his business, which seemed to have a sudden boom. Many people say, oh, you know, I was just promoted at my Waco. They just called me and I just had a sudden. Peter also had a sudden expansion. When I was a doctor, I was earning 25,000 CDs a month, which was like, I don't know how much 25,000 was that it was about. It was about $40 or so a month. But just when I was resigning, they increased their salary to 70,000. I said what? What a shock. And I was not going to enjoy even one month of that thing. In fact, I had to go through a great process to close down my bank account so that they will not pay in because they keep on paying the salaries for. And some of you have been here, they've been paying you and you have been receiving it. Yeah. I actually closed down my account. I close, I do not pay into this account. Nothing. Not even one month. Yeah. But it was a it was a very difficult because you see people say, oh, you your father, my father didn't give me any money after I finished school. My father didn't give me. He gave me a lot of money when I was a student. He even gave me a couple. But the day I finished school, that was the end. Never gave anything again. Never gave me money again till he died. Yeah, I was on my own, just like you. It's true. And as I stayed in his hotel room, 14 for three years, the time came in. You have to go. Yeah, you have to go. You have chosen to do what you are going to go. I stayed in a room, hotel room, because he didn't have the house. He had a hotel and I have one of the rooms. So I stayed there. I married in the room. I stayed in the room for three years. I gave birth to two children there. My two sons were born in that house, in that room. Yeah, with them, everybody, we were all there. I saw, I took, I competed, I hid it. Some of you, if you have seen abroad as early as I saw it long time ago, you would have said oh Ghana, bye, bye, Amen. Hallelujah. How many are going to follow Peters? Did you do you think that Peter passed the test? Wow. I think it's good to have some good guys who are passing. How many have filled and how many have passed? How many have passed 3 Judas, he was tested. How was he tested? He was tested with the money bag. He had the money back and he failed that one. He was stealing from the bank all the time. He failed that one. Now give some of you can't offer and you steal. That is even. Let's not even go too tight, people. You have money, you take it from the offering. Not only take it. I don't even have to curse you. You are already cursed. But anybody who is still in the offering in America, let's something prevent him from being able to come to the church, send it to him and remove the the carpet from under his feet. Jesus name Judas money bag, that was the first one. The second one was when Jesus was offered 30 pieces of silver. He had a price. So he was tested twice all through the ministry with the money bag. And then after that he had this big opportunity to get a big one time sale of Jesus #11 we are about to go for dinner. The other apostles were tested. Turn with me to 3rd John Chapter 7. The six. Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren and to strangers which have borne witness of thy charity before the Church, whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sought, thou shalt do well, because that for his namesake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such that we might be fellow helpers to the truth. Listen, it says for their for their namesake, Amen was talking about their apostles. They went forth taking nothing of the Gentiles, said John verse 7. They took nothing. All the work they were doing, they took hold on for money. It's all about money. Bless you, Amen. Wow, is it fantastic Apostles were able to pass the test of money. Amen. The last person in our long list of people who are being severely tested. How many rather that a lot of people are being tested with money? Is it not a very unfortunate thing, The test of money. The rich man who came to see Jesus in Mark chapter 10. Jesus beholding him, loved him and said unto him, One thing thou lack is good. I weigh and sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in hell. Come take up the cross and follow me. He was sad at that saying and went away grieved because he had great possessions, the ones that a lot of possessions and money we don't need. What the devil? Once there's some money somewhere, there's no need of the devil. He had great. Fred Price says great possessions had him. That's how Fred Price cooked that best. The first time I heard it was from Fred Price. He said the man went away because he had great possessions. But Fred Price says that really the best. You say he went away because great possessions had him. Ask yourself, do great possessions have you, huh. They don't have you. Can I have some people who are going to fill these chairs who are going on mission field? If you, if you sense that God is going to use you, great possessions cannot have you, that God is going to use you on the mission field, sit there right now. And I'm talking about young men, ladies with men, all right? I'm talking about lay missionaries. You can. You can stand if there's more. If there's more than the chance, you come and stand by the chair. Only six young men of all of you. We've been clapping. We've been saying, oh, Job, oh Esau. Oh Ekan. Oh, you are. You represent a great team. God is going to use you. You'll be glad, all right. Wow. Yeah, some took nations, some took communities, some took villages, some took nations, but everybody did something. Amen. You see, when I was sending Pastor Joel from England to America, I was not sending him as a full timer because he did not want to be full time at all. It was no, no, no at all. So this is a lay mission. America is a lay mission. All that we see here is being a lay mission. It came from a layperson moving, just agreeing to change your job and do something that is unusual for the sake of the church, knowing very well that where you are will be OK, but where you have never been, it cannot be OK because you have not gone there. Yeah, you are worth more than $250,000. Of all the options. It's true. It's worth more. If we want to have $250,000, you are worth more than, at least to me, you are worth more than that. It's priceless. You don't have a price. It's true, Andy. Is it not true? Yeah, this Andy. This is also Andy. It's true. Is it not true? No. It's worth it. Me. I know. The church is more important than anything else God has said. He said, look, I will build my church. God has said in the church, first apostles, second prophets. So the church is always priority. It's more important than the healing. Jesus will say that I'm doing the church. It has to be there. It has to be built, it has to be stable. Wow. And, and, and those of you who are already pastoring churches, your churches are going to more than double, triple. There will be no small church in our, in our myths, more branches. At least 100 people must be sitting there in one service, in one service, 100 people in one service. Amen. Are you excited? I'm excited about it. And I feel a new fire and a new life coming into the church and has already come into the church. The devil thinks that we are tired, but he will be tired before we are tired. I say he will be tired before we are tired. Amen. And the Lord is going to bless Father. Thank you for all these men who I say standing here, sitting here, I know that they are just a representative of some great army that you have raised up in America to do a great work of lay missions. Thank you. What an honor to be guided by Almighty God and not to be guided by money. Something as unrighteous as money. Thank you. We prefer the purity, the purity of being guided by the Holy Spirit rather than being guided by the thought of financial gain. The spirit of Balaam, the spirit of Ekan, who saw and coveted and took and hid, is broken in our lives. In Jesus name, Amen. The spirit of the enemy which brings barrenness, the evil spirit that brings barrenness, disobedience into our lives is broken. The spirit of Balan, of Akan, the spirit of Judas, the spirit of a man like Esau who sold every important spiritual thing from just food is broken. We thank you, we shall value spiritual things rather than despising them. We thank you, O Lord, for your great provision and blessing in Jesus name, Amen. Give the Lord a mighty clap offering. You are going to be the Volante churches Volante. You understand it. Amen. Wow, wow. Those of you who have never done anything important in this life, nothing that you've done in the world has been important. This is your chance to do something important. I'm going to give the ladies a chance to. If you are here and you are a lady, you are going to be part of this volante group. It's just a name I'm giving. It's a Spanish word. I'll explain it. It's not in the Bible, but it's based on a vision that God gave me. Yeah, God gave me that vision when I was in Korea. If you are a woman and you are part of the camp. You see, Kate, our sister, Kate Aloto is sitting here. Lady, Pastor Kate, she's a powerful pastor. She has a great church in Ghana. Are you also coming to America? I saw. I converted. I took my head. Wow, I know that if she comes here, she's going to have a great church for sure. Amen. Look at the ladies. So in heaven there are going to be more ladies in the throne. Volante sisters. Peace. Amen. Now, the problem with a lady when you are Asta is that people have a way of not respecting you. So what you do is you just mention my name that I sent you, that you are under. You are under me. I ask you to come and say that's all. Nobody can. Nobody can say anything to you. You didn't just you didn't just come around. You get it? Yeah, God will bless you. It's a spiritual journey from your chair to here, a very spiritual journey to have moved from that place to here. Yeah, God has seen you and it's so important all over. We are believing God. I don't want to speak before time, but one of these days you see the headquarters of the church in America. You see it physically somewhere physically. Amen. Is it powerful? Transfer, stand up. Where? Where are you based? Dallas. OK. Is it working there? Pray more. It's not yet working. Pray you have a great tree and you must grow. OK. Yeah. If you don't pray, the destiny of your life will not unfold as it's supposed to unfold. When you pray, God will cover your deficiencies. Because you see, we are so deficient. We are wicko or you've not noticed. Do you know something I learned from Archbishop? When I'm with him, I I enjoy what I learn about prayer. Yeah, actually, all great servants of the Lord pray. I mean, if they are really great. That is how he is. He doesn't have anything except God. Prayer, prayer and night prayers. Yeah. Doctor Cho said he made an effort not to employ educated people, but he was uneducated and the educated people were always spoiling. So just praying, praying through prayer. He has built a university, he has built days, he has built that so many things. Isn't that fantastic? So, brothers and sisters, prayer is going to make it a reality. So all of you, huh, Pastor Joel, register them. Register them right away. Write on your name right away, and God is going to bless you. Amen. Where is she? Sing me that song. God uses ordinary people like these ones. I'm going to dedicate this song to the Volante pastors. Amen. Just ordinary people. I'm glad God used it. Ordinary people choose this, people like me and you who are willing to do just have he come out all the end. God uses His people who are willing to give Him more, no matter how smart your old mind sing to you, because little becomes much when you place it in the Master's head. Or yes, just for the married people. Sing it, ordinary people. Yeah. Ordinary. People, I'm glad God uses this laying old ordinary people. And. To choose this people like me and you people willing to do just that, keep my eyes. Oh yeah, God uses people who are willing to give them more. Or, you know, with God, and never really matter how small your home I seem to you, because your little becomes much when you place it in the Master's head. Oh. Listen, you know there's a there's a part of the song when he says what God just tells you to do, what exactly he says you should do? What does he say say. God chooses people. Who? Are willing to give him more no matter how small your all might seem to you, because the little becomes so much when you place it in the masters from the. From the top again. It's just for them. He He tells them what to do, and they do he. Chooses people like me and you who are willing to do just as he commands. Yes. Think about Moses. Think about what God told him to build in the Wilder wilderness Tabernacle, a tent after he has lived for 40 years in those fantastic pyramids and fantastic whatever which up till today are there now God says to you, OK, now you're going to build a dwelling place for me, 4 meters by 4 meters. Tents do this, make gold here, do this, do this, do this, do this, do this. That's all. I That's where I will stay. Think about a far cry from that and the fantastic pyramids of Egypt that he has seen them building. And he says this is my house. And you see, God will choose people who are ready to do just what I say. Do one Step 2. Step three, do what I say. Now what you think? Is it not fantastic and powerful? That's why God can't use many of us when he tells us what to do. Sir, I've got another idea. I've seen a pyramid. We'll make it out of box big one big time. You will be very happy with it, Lord. Years of being in the wilderness drained out of him, the energy to have his own ideas implemented. And he said, Lord, I'm ready to do what you say. The way you say it may not be comparable to what is in the world, but this little thing is my contribution. It's what I want and it pleases me. That's what I want. Amen. Sing it again. He chooses people like me and you who are willing to do just as he commands. God chooses people who are willing to give him more no matter how small your almighty to you, because little becomes much when you place. It becomes much. In the master's head. Can you imagine me, me being a pastor and the driest tree and the driest tree that can ever become a pastor? I tell you, if you imagine me being a pastor, the driest tree. That's why nobody, it's not. It's not a joke that no one ever chose me to be a pastor. There was nothing about me to choose. You wouldn't have chosen me as well. Yeah, you wouldn't have chosen me. If you were the people choosing, you wouldn't have chosen me. So imagine me being a pastor. That's why I said God said Moses, just do the tents from here to here. Is this from here to here? Make this me. Wouldn't this do it? There, Just do it. God chooses ordinary people. I tell you, you wouldn't have chosen me either. Now look at me. I'm a pastor preaching miracles. Yeah, and the driest tree that should never have even a leaf. And God is using me. That I always try to explain to people, God can use you. Believe me, God can use you. It's not a joke. One day I was dancing in the church. Since that they have stopped dancing. One of the members in the church came to laugh at me again. My dancing was over because she made a comment and after that I couldn't dance again. If God could use me, then how about you? You are more gifted, more talented. You may never know limited why God uses somebody. So I want to encourage you. He uses ordinary. Sing that last part again for me. He chooses people like me and you who are willing to do just as he for mine. Oh yeah, God chooses people who are willing to give him more, no matter how smart you're all might seem to you, because little becomes much when you place it in the Master's hand. Oh, it's just like that little life did Jesus all he had, and the multitude was red with the fish and the loaf of red. What you have may not seem like very much, but want to yield it to the touch of the Master's loving hands. Then you'll begin to understand how your life could never ever again. You'll never be the same. Just ordinary people. Oh, I'm glad. Gotta goose ass let it old ordinary people and go to there people, people like me and people like you. People willing to do just that. Be the man. Oh yeah, God choose this before who are willing to give him more and you see, with God it never really matters how small your all might see to you, because your little becomes so much. But the difference is you've got to place it and. Bastard. I will never stop encouraging lay people work for God. I will never stop. All of you are here because I encourage a layperson to come to America. All of you are here. All the churches in America. All of you. I encourage a layperson to come to America, a water seller to come to America. All of you are here. I will never stop encouraging laypeople. I will always encourage you to do something for the Lord, no matter how small and when I sent pastor do I didn't know whether he it will work or whatever, but I just you just come and he came and I felt sad for the church in London because there was a small church and I was taking away one of the pillars. But I'm glad, I'm glad I'll never Doctor go. Never stop encouraging lay people to work. Never stop encouraging lay people to work for God. It is good the full time. It also has its place, But we must never and we will never stop encouraging people. Do the part you're supposed to do Never stop, never stop. God bless those who are doing full time. They also have their part. The end of the day, we all stand to focus and this is what we were able to do. Amen. Is it powerful? Let me have a dream. I want to have a dream. Lord, let me have a dream without being a dream. Oh Lord, let me have a vision. Let me. Have a vision. Let me have visions in the spirit and let me work. Let me work with diligence, always knowing that you're this heart and the end of it. Oh Lord. Please. Let everything I do remind me of my love for You, Lord. Let me have a dream. Let me have another dream, another vision for America. Let me have a dream. Oh yeah, with that being a dreamer. Come on, sing it. Let me have a vision. Oh yeah, let me have a. Vision of the Spirit. In the spirit, please let me work, Let me work with Tillyton. Let me work with Tillyton, always knowing that you're in the sky and the end of it. Oh Lord, let everything, everything, everything I do remind me of my love for you. Oh yeah. Teach me how to love. For so many in need of this love. So many. Teach me how to give. It's in living that we learn how to live. And let me work. Let me work with you. Always know we that you're the part of the apps of it. Lord, let everything I do remind me of my love for you and let me work with diligence, always knowing that you're the God. You're the God and the end of let. Me work and. Alone. Let me work with diligence. Let everything I do remind me of my love for. You Hallelujah. Let me work with diligence. I'm going to work with diligence. We've passed the thrill stage. They're working. They're working till we finish. When we lie down, they're gone out of this world and we rest in peace. And until then we will fight and work, Fight and work. Hallelujah. Are you excited about it? Give the Lord a mighty flop. Let me work. Let me. Work. Let. Me work, let me work, let me work with his hand always going and you're the star, You're the star in the end. Coming. An army of lay people. An army of priceless people. People without a price. An army of priceless people, an army of Abrahams, modern Abrahams, an army of of jobs, jobs who can serve God without a benefit, still work for God without a benefit. An army of Peters who sends God is greater than money. They are ready to lay as hard fish and other things, for God S sake. An army of lay people. Yeah, America will be filled with. They will, they will. They will be tired of us. From town to town, town to town, place to place, place to place. You say that these people are here also. These people are here. One day when we go out of this world, we'll go out of this world with joy knowing that we contributed, we helped, we worked because I just came to encourage you to work. I can't do the work here. You have to do the work here. I'm just encouraging you to work. I'm just encouraging you to do the work, right? I can't do it because I don't live here. I can't live here. If I live here, I will change my ministry. So I'm just here to encourage you. That is why the reward, it's not going to be for me. It's going to be for all of us who are involved in this work. So that's why we say let me whack. Let me whack with Dylan. Let me work, Let me work with Dylan, always knowing that you're the star.
