07. The Mystery Of The Bag Of Seeds 4

Welcome to track #7 of the bag of seeds, just like like this. Yeah, fantastic. Wow. Wow, that's too amazing. But what are we talking about before we what's the topic? What's the topic? Giving yourself, huh? Yeah. The Swiss pastors, Yeah. No, I'm appealing to all labour, not only those who are here. I want you to become like my old father-in-law, who is neither a priest, neither is he a pastor. But the kind of feeling I have for him is such respect and appreciation for what I'm doing. I know what you are doing is such a great thing. When I get up, you sit, sit down. See. You are my Bishop. Oh, I'm telling you, it's outright embarrassing. And he's he's speaking generally. He's not, he's not joking. He's not making fun of me. He's one person that I know. He doesn't make fun of me. My father-in-law, yeah, I wrote a book and I wrote about him. That book. If a person who has no training like you have, what is the ministry, What a privilege it is to be called, how much more you appreciate it. And even those of you who you are here, I asked 5-6 of you. I asked you, can you give me 2000? Yes. Can you go to Juba? No. Then you should immediately appreciate it greatly say that it is true. If I don't understand, if I understand that to give yourself is very maybe your wife, what does she will, what does she will follow you to that place. That's where you see whether you are married or not. She'll be there waiting for you, say you have committed yourself. You see the word that she will say to you in the house. Are you listening to me? No Love is the seed for, for, for, for closeness. Appreciation is the seed for more. That's what we're going to get more. Amen. So I want you to give yourself, you know, I don't do business. That's not a lot of pastors do business. I don't have, I don't do business. I don't use my intelligence to help anything except the work of God because I think I'm quite intelligent. I think I'm quite intelligent. So I used my intelligence to promote. I've used it since I was about 25 to to push the work of God. Do you understand? I've given my intelligence, my mind, then my my younger, my strength. Baby, look at today. I tell you, I don't want to swear by any, neither heaven nor earth. If any of you have this, it like there's a knife in your back. You can't, you'll not even be here. You cannot come for the next one week. You cannot move. They wanted to put me in a wheelchair yesterday night. They were putting me in a wheelchair to to wheel me in Singapore in a wheelchair. They were bringing me in a wheelchair and I look, I said no, I cannot enter this wheelchair, I will not enter it. I said no. So they made me go on the plane. The first person to go on the plane as I can know when they took my bag from me, helped me to limp into the plane. Look at the time, because of a certain agency that I feel that I need to, we need to do what we have. I beg you, if anything, love me and appreciate me and don't let me feel, let me feel that because all my laypasses, there's, there's I love you so much. Look, when Major Mefel died, Major Mefel died. I, I mean when he called Bishop Saki called me. I mean John Mefel is dead. I remember when I asked me, Jim Mefel, I said will you come to me? She said if there is something to do, that's the answer that he gave me said if there is something to do, I can come. When there are 7 billion people in the world who are asking me if there is something to do, you can come into full time ministry. But the fact that he doesn't come into food that is our classmate and our friend is one of my in terms of family friends, one of our family friend for many, many years when he died, as soon as when I spoke to his wife told me she had not cried from the somebody called Adon and told her she has seen they have seen something in the news about Afghanistan. But has she heard from her husband? He said no, but she's not happy about it. You call her then 8:00 they called her from Afghanistan. I'm sorry to be the one to inform you that your husband has just been killed, She said. She didn't cry. She said I see OK. She put on. When I called her. I was in Australia when I heard the news. In fact, when I don't know who, how did I? I saw a text. I couldn't believe When I got a call, Bishop Saki called me. Bishop Saki and myself, we started crying together on the phone. We started, he was talking to me and I said we were crying together. Then I spoke to his wife and as soon as she had not cried from the time that they informed her that as soon as I spoke to she's the best out crying. She told me, she said when you as soon as you spoke, that was what my tears started. You said I love my pastors, people that have been with me for years and years at worst. Do I have in the world. I don't have Americans who I don't have white people. I don't have anybody. So what I'm saying is if I have gone far, what appreciate me. I also want you to be the UN Secretary General. You think I'll not be happy if you come and inform me that you have been made a new WHO Secretary General or Deputy Director of UNHCR. You think I will not I will not be happy. What what what are you thinking? I suppose to have been to form. You are the vice President of this. You are the this of that. That is what I'm not well now even become happy. So why don't you also be happy about me? Yeah, just even even before money. Just the happiness. Now we are so happy with this. It's true. Oh, you don't think so? You are in Johannesburg. You, you. Why are you not John? When I came to preach in Johannesburg? You see how the people are appreciated, huh? Do you feel it? How do you feel it? Where is the this thing? Microphone. I mean, they were preaching with you. Every, every sentence, everything that was said is, is from the back to the front, everybody was preaching with you. I mean, it's like as soon as you walked in the the eye, their eyes lit up. Everybody was like started talking about Anaconda Bishop Anaconda has. Come, Yeah, you see the way they buy the books, books, they swallow them. I was in Colombia. I preached when I bought the books. And when they think in the chest that we are buying 4000 of these books on their own and I can't even go into the kind of offerings that they give to me, even though like what if somebody was given to please? There's no need to say look, he told me no, He said before you came here, before you came here. I said, oh, there's no need. What are you giving me? He said before you came, he said the owner and the appreciation of you and of what you do. I met a pastor in Kenya. I said I was in my room and I read a book. Mega check. He said, me and my wife. He said only heaven will let you know what you have done for us. He said, and we only know what you tell us in the book. I've got 800 people sitting there on Sunday morning. Only that follows what you are teaching. You are sitting there, he said. Only heaven. So. So now I look at my own people say, do they appreciate? Yeah, that's why I said that. Appreciation is the seed for more there. Were two pastors that came from Zimbabwe. They drove all the way. I mean there are no lighthouse pastors. And when they came, they stayed with all with us throughout the service. They were there and they were like trying to find anybody who was close to you so that they will to make a way to introduce themselves. And the pastor was telling me that he's. Built. Two of them. They've built churches and they've built it on your. Books and they. Stayed up. They stayed till about two in the morning with us in that place. It's amazing you've got the book they it is do this how to start #1 go for a parameter and give the prat of this at the top. Then you do it. But even those are those are you didn't even know at that service. When I went to Devon, I met a Bishop and some other passages. So we were all in the service when you he said when you were preaching stamping on the book. So we were all there. He said I came to listen to you. So all I'm saying is appreciation is the seed for what more No appreciation. It doesn't mean I'm going to do what you are doing but just you get the feeling. But my father-in-law doesn't give me any money. That is a feeling that I get from that. I feel that he's my main supporter. That's that's the feeling. If I get a feeling of support without money, I'm even OK. I wish my late pastors would love me and support me when major method that I wept and I wondered did he love me the way I loved him. I'm telling you, if you become the UN secretary, do you think, do you think I will not be mentioning it even the 1000 messages you'll be hearing last week when I was talking to the UN secretary General last week, you know, I called the UN secretary general yesterday. I was telling him something. I told him I don't agree with something he said on CNN. Don't you think I will? I will be always on it. And it is possible. It is possible because the US secretary general, you'll be surprised who can become I don't know. I wish that that that that level of love or even a support is that we really want you to do well. What do you mean money? Me out of money? I've learned to disrespect it all. I know it's value, but I've come to see that there are many things that are far greater than money. I give me your love. No, I never love somebody with money. You cannot love me with money. No, no, no. Love is not demonstrated. You see the most important people to me not be able to give you money. Even my relationship and so on with my wife and I was a beloved and so on. I never look. My father gave me more money as a student when I was a beloved than my salary as a doctor. I don't know. My father believed he gave me a car, brand new car with the rabbits and everything on. I was I was. I never gave presents to my wife like this or good to spread money. This. No, no, no, no. I don't. I I've never laughed. I don't. I've not laughed People with money. My relationship with Bishop Saki Bishop. Edit I can't. I mean, if I love you then whenever, when the the money's finished or if I don't have money now, then what's going to happen? You cannot love me with money. Money cannot make me know that you love me if you love me from your heart and appreciate me for it's more than money. In fact, I even prefer that. Money is very relative. It's it's so relative, You know, it's the love and the feeling. It's true. What do you think? You see, you must always pray that your father would bless you. He said may the Lord bless thee from from Zion. May those that pass by bless you because there can also be a case that may those who pass by not bless you. I went to preach at Action, the church I used to go to years ago on the Sunday. It was, I think, about the 15th or 16th of May when I went to the church and the second service when I finished preaching, then Archbishop took the microphone and said that his birthday was yesterday and they brought a cake. Not my church. The whole big action a cake. And so we are coming to cut a cake and select us the whole chest thing happy and visiting preacher to celebrate each other. His birthday and my birthday are just. But even this year I want to I want to do this. We'll do something better next time. Cut a cake in front of the chest saying is it is it is it money? It's not about money. The feeling that I mean, because in my own chair that no, no cake has been cut and no birthday has been sung. Because I was not. I was not there. I was around. But they are declared a fast. They have declared a fast. They have declared it fast, no bad. They have no bad. They have been sampled and in somebody's church. And when I when I go there, they don't give me anything. They don't. And it is my checks. I don't see how they should give me some. They don't give me money. They're nothing. That cake that they cut is more than $10,000. And then when he invited me to a dinner that was not on his actual bed about or around, and everybody seated and I was late by about one hour, I intentionally late. I mean, I knew everybody would be late, so I didn't want to. I was doing something. But when I got there, everybody seated with the two seats there, I should sit by him. When he stood up, he put his hand on myself. This is my best friend. It's more than $25,000. It's not about money. It's not about, it's not about, it's not about money that they are giving you. It can never, it can never make somebody love you or you love somebody. It's not, it has nothing to do with money. You know, I don't even know what we are talking about now. Yeah, yeah. I'm telling you, there must be that that love is not about money. If your money is that you are no must, you must, you must appreciate. If you haven't been able to give yourself, you see that it's a very great thing. See my effort, I'm trying to build churches, trying so hard. Myriad of things we are trying to do at the same time, because we are looking at the figures like that. The number of months 784566 hundred 620, we don't know. We see that every month goes by, we don't know when you're clean, it's finished. Why don't you appreciate it and encourage it? What do you think? Yeah. So your life, you see, giving yourself, you see yourself and your money. It's it's it's it's very wonderful, but definitely far, far, far higher is to give you. And also when you Bishop Saki and I, we joke, you know, we say that, oh, we when we came to work, we didn't have anything. And it's true, we didn't. I didn't have anything. But you see, in a sense, it's also not true. We had potentially what we could have end potentially all that we could have become. We gave it away also it's true because when you give away a seed that's 20 year, 20 years old, which is 20 * 12, which is 240 months only are gone and there is a clear 960 or 807 hundred months or some you've got a big and also those months are the ones that you are strong. Prime months. It's different. Do you see what I'm saying? Yeah. So, brothers and sisters, let's let's appreciate what it is to give yourself. And and I want to appreciate it. You'll even look at yourself. Look, you are beautiful. You are nice. There's a time when you are nice. Nicest. That's true. How old are you? 25 tomorrow. This is the time that you are the nicest. This is the time that you are the nicest. I tell you. Are you there? Yeah. This is the time that you are the nicest. Sometimes you see some people they say, oh, husband and wife. The the wife will say, so you if I die within five months there will be another person and that's why I say, oh, what are you saying? So I know you then. Then the wife will say. Then the wife will say, me, As for me, I will never marry again. One marriage is enough. I cannot. I don't. But you see, what they also are not saying is that if the husband were to die the way it is, you may not get somebody even if you want it because things have changed. Your waist is gone. There's no more weight. The waist has joined the chest and the hips have all joined as one, only one. So a lot of people who said, oh, doesn't worry about this and that no, you are the nicest now. This is the nicest you will ever be. This is the strongest, this is the most, this is the most ability to learn. Look, when I was growing up, we used typewriters. We don't use computers in my time in my life. I was alive when video was invented. Video. Yeah. I don't know if you remember, but I, I remember when it was invented. In 1983, I visited my aunt and my uncle and my cousins told me that there is a new invention where you can watch cinema in your house. It's called, it's called video. I remember I was there when DVD was invented and I was taught it is past the Prince who taught me how to use DVD. He said you press it on, you press play. There's chapters one to he, he showed me. I said I've never used a DVD before. He said, oh, this is easy in my life, in my life. I remember when my mother bought, my mother was working at the embassy. They have electric typewriters with embassy. Then computers came. The computers came came just after my learning. What do you call it just at the border? When it did not became essential and I find it personally, I find it a bother. It's true. I have a lot of people around me. They are very high tech. I'm very, very high tech, but I'm high tech through people such when checking them, I cannot check it following Internet and I have Bible to read, prayers to pray. I should go and follow Internet. It came just after and you see the young people, all they are doing screen, screen, screen. Everybody's on a screen. The whole world is on a screen. I use the technology but I may have the unit. Are you listening? You are the nicest now. You are the poshest now. You are the strongest now. You are the most intelligent now. This is the best time to give yourself because I tell all of you who think you are high tech, a new invention is coming that will make all of you old men and women. IPad, iPad that I'm using. You say you are high tech and I said I told you that I'm high tech. 3D what three DTV, even flat screen. My house television is a box, a big box in my room, the old type. Are you there? So my friends, my sisters, my brothers, this is the best time to give yours and give yourself juicy, juicy, nice, fresh, intelligent, clever, fast. Helen Bella. You know, when she gave her testimony, she said something. She said, you know, I was in the nightclubs and but she said something, she said I was fast. I learned fast and I was fast. If you, if you listen to that, if you remember, and that's that's the thing, you, you are clever, you are fast, you are moving. You, you learn the things that you, you see this time of your life for those things. This is a time that you are slow, you are dull, you're not interested. So give yourself, let's read that verse again. That's fine. I love it. And this they did. Not as we hoped. But first they gave their own selves to the Lord and to us by the will of the Lord. Yeah, they gave themselves. Amen. So the bag of seeds. Bag of seeds. You are the biggest seed in the bag. Jonathan and David stand up. You are seeds. What do you think? As soon as you drop into a country, people don't know what's going to happen. Yeah. Drop into the country. Be surprised what's going to happen in the country. Whole country. Whichever I see when you arrive, nobody will know what's happened. What's going to happen to it. Charles, turn up. You. You are also a seed. You drop into a country. Wow. Things will begin to change with time. Said the whole country has changed. What do you think? What is your name? You stand up. Who are you? You have not identified yourself since you came to the camp. You don't want to go anywhere. But why? Why have you hidden yourself? I'm. Just. Gonna go to to help Reverend Christine John Jonesburg. OK, so he has warned you not to stand up when I ask you. OK. All right. You see the ladies? Ladies who are willing to be on assignment stand up. Yeah. Look at all these girls they want to work for. So why should I not take them? Somebody is eager, trying to serve the Lord. We shouldn't say yes, go and talk to some people. They'll be giving you all kinds of reasons they save the will of the Lord is it Can I see can I see you after church? Can I discuss something with you all kinds of answers and here are people so you you may not yes, you may you may feel that what is a girl. These are girls they cannot do, but you see this is it this How come the whole ministry is full of ladies working. If you also say you will not take that, you are stuck. It's true. That's what happened. Oh, man. Are you with me? So it's powerful. I'm excited. Yeah. I'm glad I gave myself. If I die, drop dead now. I'm glad I gave myself to the Lord. I've been working for the law since I was here. I have. No. I mean, I have no regrets. Even if there is no heaven, it's been worth. Do you know how to sing that song? It's been worth having the Lord in my life. Where is Andy? Are you a policeman or a pianist? Secret Service. You may ask me why I serve the Lord. Is it just for heaven's gain, or to walk those mighty streets of gold, or to hear the angels sing? Is it just to drink from that mountain that never shine run dry? Or is it just to live forever, forever and ever in that sweet old I am by but in heaven never was promised to me, neither God's promise to live eternally. It's been a word, just having the Lord in my life. I was living in a World of Darkness. He came along and brought me the light. When I was living in a World of Darkness, He came along and brought me the light. So you may ask me why I serve the Lord? Is it just for heaven's game? Love what you want those mighty streets of God or to hear the Angel sin. And is it just to dream from the one that never shall run dry? Or is it just Is it just to live forever and we're in heaven in that sweet old name by your mind, God in heaven, ever what cometh to me. And these are gods come back to live eternally into the world. Just having the Lord in my life, I was living in a World of Darkness. He came along. And brought me the light. When I was living in a World of Darkness, He came along and brought me the light. And if there were never in the streams of God, and there's never one to play where we never grow old. It's. Been a word, just having the Lord. In. My life. So I was living in a World of Darkness. He came along and brought me the light. When I was living in a World of Darkness, He came along and brought me to the light. When we were living in a World of Darkness, came along and brought us the light. When I was living in a World of Darkness, He came along and brought me the light. Let's pray Father, thank you for your blessing and your great power that is released in our lives in Jesus name, Amen. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
