Welcome to track #8. Of lay power, Father, it's a blessing. We thank you in Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated #11 God calls verse #10 God calls people who are in difficult circumstances difficult circumstances. God calls people who are in difficult circumstances. Now if you are in difficulty or in difficult circumstances, God is calling you. 10 to Judges, chapter 6, verse 1313. Is it fantastic this super Many times people don't want to wait for God because they talk about their circumstance, that there are certain problems, difficulties, family, children, home, school this time financial, job, my boss, my contract, no work, credit crunch now. But God called Gideon and the Bible said, and Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is this befallen us? He was in great difficulty. And whence be all the miracles which our Father told us of saying, Did the Lord not bring us from Egypt? But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. So God called people who are in the hands of the Midianites, in the hands of the Midianites. I mean, what problem do you have? And what Midianite has arrested your life and Midianites has arrested you and you are in the midst, in the control of the Mediana. And God says I'm calling you. Gideon was being called. God was about to call and he's pretty. Look, we are falling into the hands of the Mediana. Some of you are falling into the hands of your children, the children that you gave birth to. Some of you are falling into the hands of your parents. Some of you are falling into the hands of your boss. Some of you are falling into the hands of the financial problems created by NPP and NBC, combination of the two. We have been, we have been sandwiched in Ghana. We have been sandwiched a sandwich of NDCNDC with NPP inside NDC for 20 years, then eight years NPP, then another NDC has come to we are top to top up. It's a sandwich, Ghana sandwich. We are falling into their hands. They are falling into the hands of the politicians and it is the same people. NBC people have come, they have brought all the old names. It's the same. It's like a fellowship. It's true, it's a fellowship. And when MPP come back, save people, AAM fellows, oh Lord, we are falling into their hands. But God is still calling us even though we are falling into their hands. Is it not amazing? So don't use that as a reason not to obey God. So, oh Lord, I've fallen into. No, God calls people who are falling into all kind of circumstances. Amen #11 God calls people without miracle power those who don't have miracle power. Is there anybody who doesn't have miracle power? When you are sick, you have to take paracetamol. Raise up your hand please if you are here, raise your hand now when you are sick. You'll be taking past time. I don't have miracle power. Maybe even this morning you have taken some already. Hey Gideon, in judges chapter 6 he said where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of? Where are the miracles? I don't see miracles in my life. The rest of miracles, powerless, virtue less, anointing less, miracle less. And yet God is calling you. Are you excited that as a common man, God is calling you? It is fantastic #12 God calls. These are the types of people that got calls. Have you already fallen into it? How many are falling into several of them from the first one after now? Basically you see that you are flowing in the qualifications you must be called by now #12 God calls God forsaken people. Judges chapter 6 verse 13. But now the Lord has forsaken us. Hey, God has forsaken you and still he's calling you. Can it be possible that God has forsaken you? And then he says OK, I want you to work for me be while he has forsaken you. He said God has forsaken us. How many have ever felt that God has forsaken? I mean, it looks like he is not involved in your situation because he's not intervening. He's not intervening. He don't do anything about it and he seems to be doing something about other people's problems while on others that word calling do not pass me by. Now the person who composed the song has seen something before. They have seen something before. He has seen something before he composed that song. There are some songs that don't easily die so that it has been composed by. It never gets finished because it is speaking the reality of many of us. If you go to everybody's life, you'll be surprised that he feels that God has forsaken him. Yeah, Yeah. Why? On others he's calling. Meanwhile, the others are also thinking that God has called on you, but he has forsaken me. Is it not amazing? And you see, as a person, when I look around, I can see many of us feel that God has forsaken us. And not only that, but he has forsaken us and he has called on others. That's why the guy composed the song because he has that same feeling while on others that were. But it's not something you should tell God that our Lord others were calling. I mean, please go, go in alphabetical order or go in a certain order so that you don't miss some people. You are telling God not to miss those who are in the room, in the room, don't miss them. How do you think God feel when you tell them please, when you are doing your work, don't leave, miss out of your things on the way. How many have ever felt that God has forsaken you in your life, your marriage He didn't mind you husband no, husband no child no. Your marriage is not peaceful. You God will never control him for you. He will never control her. You pray while on other he has control others, He has not be able to control yours. Yes, yes, call on others and his pass you by. So when God called Gideon, when God called me, God has long ago, he has, He has forgotten about me. There's nothing like call. I'm I'm being forsaken. Yes. But you see, there is a place in your spiritual life that you must come to to discover something, that you are nothing, that you are nobody. It's true. That's what I believe. And in your experience as you go through life, you have to discover that you are nothing. You see the mindset of an Orango when somebody is going to become disloyal, one of the there's a three stage disloyalty trap that a lot of people go through. And sometimes you need that God forsaken feeling to help you not to be disloyal. I say disloyal. I mean, I'm grateful to God and grateful to people. If you wait, when God uses you, you may, you may say to yourself that it's not my fault that God as blessed. I mean, elevating the ministry, it's not something I can control. I can't help it. Do you understand that? The first step, I can't help it. It's not something that is in my control. And then the second thing, you feel that people are jealous of you, Do you see? And then you see the others as not really doing certain things in your mind. If you were to follow the principles I follow, my life will be just like my life, you see. And then you become ungrateful and you become some way when somebody's talking to God, you see the person as someone who is jealous of you by trying to control me. But God, I'm not the one who is. I'm not the one who is causing my own promotion. Did I? Did I 'cause my own promotion? I can't help it see what God is doing. I don't know why is there? Is there, is there normal progression of a person who is becoming an Orangu? Yeah. When if you are gifted, your ministry is growing, your life is working, you are prospering. It's a normal thought process. It's not something I'm doing myself. God is just doing it. Everybody wants me. Things are working and I'm not and people are jealous. All the things they are saying I'm this, I'm this, I'm this all jealous. Jealousy. That's when a rich man prospers or somebody prospers. If people have a negative mind about the best this all that I'm suffering in my life. And then you go on. Now when you experience certain things, you, that feeling that it's not my fault that God is doing all these wonderful things, it will go away automatically. You will feel that you have been forsaken. And I believe that God allows his servants whom he laughs to experience that, so that they sense uselessness, which is the truth. Because if you even feel that, oh, it's not my fault, the truth is still that you are useless. That is the truth. That should be paramount. That should be foremost in your thinking that I'm nothing as you are getting greater and whatever you need some things to help you. That's why Paul was given a turn in the play which couldn't be solved. He said Lest I should be assaulted above whatever by the revelations, the things that are not under his control. Yeah, that's what happened. When a pastor has a church or sometimes a branch or a church, the church is getting bigger and bigger. It's like, it's not my fault. Or if you are an assistant pastor, when you come and you preach, people really like it and they seem to like it even more than the main man himself. It's not my fault. I mean, if, if, if the gift, I mean the grace of God is working through me. People like I can't control. I don't control the people like him what I'm doing, you know? But every time now there's always problem in the chat because it's like it's not my fault. People are jealous. A senior pastor is not jealous of me. It's trying to control me, trying to limit my gifts. So you need something that will help you to see that you are God forsaken, I tell you. And it's a spiritual thing. Yeah. And when you meet people who have experienced certain things, Yeah, Pastor, you will tell the pastor. Pray for the pastor, said me, I should pray for you. Yeah. I need prayer myself. It's true. Remember Me, there are certain things I've seen. I used to say, oh me, I just pray for the this is I'm trying to find time to pray for the church. I'm always praying for myself because I've seen some things that have ministered to me that God is not with me. It's true that I've seen something that I've listened to me that God is not with me. Yes, that have made me feel useless. So when people say I don't have that, I remember Reverend is who was saying so some people were saying that you you should pray for covering. He said covering me. I should pray for covering for you. I myself am I covered? Do I need I need covering? But that's what happens when you have experienced certain things you, you, your mind start to change almost immediately that it changes from that I can't help what God is doing is is the grace of God. It is it is blessing. His blessing is everywhere. And if you also follow these steps, step that I wrote in my book and the principles that I'm teaching, you will become just like me. You have a husband, you have a wife, you have a child, you will prosper, you have peace, you have a house, everything work out. Your marriage will be excellent. If you just follow the steps. You travel, you travel, you go to Canada, you come, you go to America, you come, you go. Every time you see that you are going somewhere. Hey, God will send a second wind, a bad wind to blow in your life. When that bad wind blows in your life, after you see that your feelings change, you will not say that. I, I mean, there are, there are things that are out of my control. I don't know why. What do you think You understand what I'm saying? So this is what happens in our lives. So what happens in our lives? Some of us, you see, our quarrelsomeness is a revelation of our pride. Did you know that? So you may think that oh, by me, I don't have. You see just the fact that you always quarreling with somebody. Contact Bible says only by pride cometh contention. Contention comes by pride. When somebody says what you feel, you are something. That's why we are now taking on the pest. Mr. Big Stop. God will send a bad wind to blow in your life. You said I inquire with anybody again. When our first pastor who died, Pastor Charles, when he died in the in the in the night, they put his body in a pickup. Mr. Penny was telling me when they put his body in the pickup, he said that is why I don't quarrel with anybody. The driver of the pickup in the night when they put a dead body in the car, the back of a pickup, somebody who walked there. Now he's now luggage at the back of the car in the pickup. The driver said me, that's why I don't quarrel with anybody. So you see how people are just in the night, 12 midnight said they'll put you in a pickup and they're moving to take you to the fridge, cargo of no value. So he said that that is why I don't quarrel. That was all he said. This is why I don't quarrel with the body in the car and they're moving. You see that we are nothing. Look, God, are you listening to me? He has His way of helping us and some of the things that we are fighting with, they are God's help in our lives. It's true. We may not like them, but even you, you're as a parent, you don't give only toffee to your children, you give them salad. Don't you give your child salad? They don't like it, but they should eat it. OK, So what, what's, what are we talking about? God forsaken? God calls people who are forsaken. Is that also all right? That is number 112 then #13 God calls people who have nothing to offer Judges. 615 God was calling Gideon, and he said unto him, Oh my Lord, he was talking to the Angel, Wherewith shall I save Israel? What am I going to use to save Israel? I don't have anything. I don't know much of the the Word. I don't have anointing, I don't have scriptures, I don't have grace, I don't have gift. I've not seen Jesus. Wherewith shall I save Israel? With what? What am I going to use for the thing you are calling me to do? What am I going to use? How many think you don't have so much to offer? Raise your hand, shall I? You are falling into most of the categories. Do you see why you are called Many are called. These are the type of people that Gideon, one of the famous people, he said God has forsaken me. I don't have miracles. I don't have anything to offer. I fall into the hand of the Midianites. A call in such circumstances then Charlie, you and I, we are see these are the things that give me confidence when I hear people say Jesus appeared to me, He walked into the room, He pulled a chair and sat down and talked to me for two hours and I realized that my calling is really questionable. And I think he said he was having a prayer meeting. His wife was sick. She had goiter and he was praying, prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed because the thing was getting so mad that she was now coughing. The daughter had spread and it was choking her and he was praying. Suddenly, suddenly as it happened to you before, suddenly Jesus appeared on the right side of the stage. Everybody was in the church praying and he was having a prayer meeting. Suddenly just appeared on the right side, stood by him and told him about his wife's sickness. Told him that let your wife go and have the operation. I will heal her and she was not going to let her do the operation. So let your wife have the operation. This they told that what was going to happen. Everything. Is that how you've been going for operations? You just got to say I'm going to the dentist, I'm going to see the doctor, I'm going to see the doctor, but can I take it? And he'll be having a prayer meeting. Jesus will appear on the side. When you compare Johnny, when you compare yourself with such a person, your calling is not. I mean, it does not stand. That is why I'm showing you Gideon, who has nothing to offer and who is God forsaken. Yeah. Who is struggling. Just like we are falling into the hands of the Midianite, just as we are falling into the hands of the South Africans and you are falling to the hands of your husband and you are falling to the hands of your children and you are falling to the hands of life as it is. Kashama supala Baba, all, all like Papa Hagen. He, he was, he was, he was, he went to preach in somebody's church and then he wasn't staying in a hotel at that time. His ministry was not sad that he would stay in a hotel, so he would stay in the pastor's house. So the pastor's daughter came, Daddy, I'm going to bed. And then he said come. And later pastor, Pastor Hagen, pray, pray for you. Pray for good night. I mean, good night prayer, you know, good night prayer. Pray good night prayers, not only bedtime stories, good night prayer. So he came and said, so they knelt down. They knelt down to pray. As soon as he knelt down for about 3 hours, he, he, he was, he was in heaven. Good night prayer. It's attending to it's tending to heaven. They they were, he said, he said we were drinking a glass of milk and we were having a snack in the night after, after the service. And then the daughter came out. Good night. So the good night prayer where he knelt down here he was. And Jesus was standing there. And Jesus said, I'm come to teach you about demons and how to do it. Good night prayer has turned into a vision for about 3 hours. Yeah. And he stayed on his knees. You see, when you compare with the dream that you had yesterday, or even the absence of dreams in your life, there's no dream. You never have dream. Why? Why don't you have any dreams at all? It's fantastic. I don't know how come I've been able to enter the ministry, because this is the person who I've been following, do you see? But I think I'm trying to attain. I'm trying to attain. So something is drawing me. I hope one day I'll be able to report to you that I've seen Jesus. But I see when I if I see him, I may not be able to preach this message like this. Yeah. God, I preach this all by you. Jesus appeared to you last last two weeks He appeared to you. And then just on Sunday too, he came. I may not be able to preach this, but as at now, do you see? Yeah, I'm just seeing dreams of pastors I know. Hey, the next one. Geez #14 God calls people with poor family backgrounds poor family backgrounds. Judges chapter 6 Gideon, who was called the Angel, came and spoke to him. Look at what he said, and he said unto Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is poor in Manasseh and I am the least in my father's house and #15 is God calls people who are the least in their families poor family background. You didn't go to Achimota school or any of the school with names, Is it not true? Yeah. I mean, there are some few schools that are mentioned, this school, this school, this school. But you didn't go to any of them. You cannot speak English very well. How do you realize that you cannot speak English very well? You cannot pronounce certain words very well. People, when people see how you have spotted, they don't know the house you have come from. If they were to follow you to the house, they will be surprised. One day I went to visit the certain sister Zamrama line. Do you know Zamrama line when I go to the house inside here? Yeah. Hey, Lord Zamrama Line. I went on visitation. I followed the direction to the house. Zamrama line. Do you know Zamrama line? No. Some of us, we don't know even your room. If somebody sees your room, some of you, there's no room. There's no room. There's no room outside. There's space with your rubber bag. All your life is a rubber bag. All your life is if you die right now, there are some of us will die right now. Our family will not, will not. If a car knocks, your family will not come to say that it is you because of the funeral. They don't want to fight. You are from a poor family with a poor family background. These are the people that God is calling. What is they say that my family is poor? He said no, I'm not. I'm not implying he said my family is poor. That's it. My family is poor now, apart from that, among the poor family, I'm the least in that poor family. And God says come, you see, God, have you noticed that all these calling, calling callings, come on, people, how many have realized, come on, come on, come on. Like us, ordinary people, regular guys, average guys, usual everyday people, commonplace, normal, bereft of gifts, no skills, no specialist. I've not been certified, you have not been licensed. And that is what when you meet somebody who encourages you as such a blessing because you know you are bereft of so many things, then you meet somebody who encourages you to say, oh, I'm bereft by the person, encourage me. Is it not fantastic? It's a blessing. Amen. And in my family, you see, in every family we have the great ones, the stars, those who pass exams and those who don't. Same mother, same father. One can pass, one cannot pass. How many have been in your family and somebody passed but you didn't pass? Raise your hand. Somebody will go for beauty competition. And you, you go for ugliness competition from the same mother, same father, one person will be served beauty competition and you will be going for ugliness competition. It's like you are this is the beautiful one. This is my beautiful daughter. And this is my, this is my daughter, this is my daughter. And this is my beautiful daughter. This is my handsome son. And this is my, my son, my son. This is one of them. I mean, among girls, you, you have that. So this is the beautiful one. And this is the one. This is just one. This is the beautiful one, one mother, one father. And they will be saying this is the beautiful one and this is one another one. This is one of them, the least in my family. This is the OK, the last one. This is the last one and this is the beautiful one. You see, and you will feel it too. You feel it, you feel it. You said that I was told that. And sometimes you'll be there. The the one who is the other one would rather get married. And the one who is the beautiful one will be there, because not by might, not by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord. Lay power, lay power, Lycos power. Nobody and the least in my family. It's amazing at who God calls the next 1 #15 OK, God calls those who are the least in their families #16 oh, it's finished. You want more that that six. You have got 16 qualifications. What they gave, you want 16. All the points are falling into you. You are in all the 16 points. How many points you want what they gave you want. I thought you didn't have any reason why God as well. Now you have about 16 reasons. But that's what happened with David, isn't it? When he was called, he called and said call your children, Call all your children, all your children. I'm coming to anoint. They called on and they didn't call David. And someone said on to Jesse, are this all my children? Are this all? Is there any other? I said, Oh yeah, I didn't calculate. I didn't count that guy. I didn't count him. Oh man, Are this all? Are this all? Are this all that's what a lion tried to bite him, Boy lion has tried to bite him. And then after that I've sent him. I don't know whether a snake will bite him now. And if you send your child and a lion has almost, a bear has almost, and you are sending back again, it means that you don't you don't care about him. Yeah. If he dies. Christ like Charlie, he said there remaineth yet the youngest, and behold, he keepeth the sheep. And someone else set out to send him, but we will not sit down until he come hit her. God will not sit down until until you come along and do your part. Amen. Now the next one, what it means to be called chapter 5? Yes, I'm on chapter 5. What it means to be called number one? It means to be summoned distinctly. All right, it means to be called out by name and selected by God. Now the first meaning to be summoned distinctly, to be called out by name, Amen. God has called you out by name, Hallelujah, Amen, Amen. The Hebrew word for call is Kara, Kara KQARA. It means to call somebody out and to cry unto someone to make him famous. Kara, to cry unto someone or to make him famous to cry unto someone to make him famous. God's tried to make you famous and you are resisting. I mean, in a sense, God has made me famous by calling me. I would have been working at man probably Polyclinic by now. Yeah. Do you know anybody at man? Probably Polyclinic? You know the Doctor Who is there. That's why I would have been a man, probably Polyclinic. So when God was calling me, he was calling me out to make me famous. Receive the call of God to make you famous. God calls you are you are resisting and arguing with reasons. Amen. Now it is not only people who are called to preach who are being called out to be made famous. Bezalel, who was a helper, he was an artisan. God called him out to make him famous in Exodus 31. All right, verse two, he says, see, I have called by name Bezalil, the son of Yuri, the son of HUL, of the tribe of Judah, Amen. So God is calling you to make you as famous as possible, Amen. Now when God calls you, he knows your name and he knows why he's calling you. And Jesus came to the place, and he looked up, and he saw him and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste. Come down, for today I must abide at thy house. Amen. Are you there next one? It means to receive special mercy. What's the problem? An ordinary person is listen all right #2 it means to receive mercy, special mercy. Second Corinthians chapter 4 verse one, It says, therefore, seeing we have this mercy, we have this ministry as we have received mercy, we faint notes. Look, I don't want anybody to resist God again after this time, you know, don't resist him. It's messy. You are being shown Second Corinthians chapter 4 verse one. It is messy. To be called is to be shown messy. Think about how you used to be. How many have been bad before and are still bad? And God calls you one day there was a sudden contractor, and he did some work that was not good. And I, I, I decided that I would never work with this contractor again. Never. He irritated me so much all the time. So after some years I decided to work with him again. So I sent somebody to call him. I said come and give it When I give the person a lot of work, what was I doing? I'm just showing messy because I had options. It was not like I needed him, but I wanted to bring him back. Like I told you yesterday, if you watch me closely, you see that anybody I've suck, I've brought the person back. Take it to yourself. So I brought him back. What was I doing in giving him that job? I'm just showing him messy. I'm giving him a job when there's no job. Amen. And sometimes you'll be surprised that the person has been shown messy will come and be the best. Especially the person is conscious of the fact that, look, I'm being show me. But sometimes you show somebody mess, he's not even conscious of it. He said it's about time. Why did you take so long? You've realized that you can't do without me without you cannot do without me, that I am essential. You realize that mistake, you get it. That's for God to call you. Basically, it's just showing messy. That is why when you reject the call of God, somebody like you and somebody like me, why don't you sing it for us if people have been on retirement since we came? Just to think that I was so bad that you knew what about my past? You knew. But that didn't make. You wait, some of you. You have married somebody, but you don't know the person's past. That is why you married the person. Easily you wouldn't have if you had known if they were to bring some videos. I want to show you some DVDs before you before your wedding tomorrow. I want to show you some DVDs before the wedding. Consider this. I just want you to consider all this. Some married people, some people marry people who have been prostitutes before, but they don't know I've been a prostitute before. Day after day, you'll be moving with your wife and she's seen her former clients, her client. You don't know as you are moving with, you're moving probably with us, honey. Let's go, honey. But but God, God, he knew and he knows and that he chooses you, you see, even though he knows that's that's that's that's, that's real love. If Somebody Loves You without knowing you, the person doesn't really love you, but the person knows his own. I it's OK. I like you. I still like you as. And so, yeah, you knew all about me. That I was. So bad that you knew what about my past, but that didn't make you any. You said you could fix all of that. I got so excited till my heart can escape beats. It feels so good to be unders to do you know what I mean? Grow up. Sometimes it causes me to jumble, sometimes it causes me to shed some tears. Sometimes it gotta speed a jumble when I think somebody somebody like you will love somebody like me. Just to think that somebody somebody like you will love somebody like me. I was a perfect example. I'm living a life with no black a life by this broken chartered piece says that you put together. Give along a special dance. Give your best dance your disco. Somebody like you, love somebody like you. Just to take somebody, somebody like you but love somebody like you. Sometimes it costs me to the time they got to stay, to travel. When I think somebody just to think that somebody like you but like somebody like me, I can't imagine how the king would live is wrong to take my place on the cross all alone. He didn't condemn me now put me down. He just loved me too. My life around. Sometimes it causes me to dream O Sometimes it causes me to shed some tears. Sometimes it causes me to dream O. And I'll be somebody, somebody like me, love somebody like me. Just to think somebody like you but love somebody like me. Oh, sometimes it got to stay in a drum. Sometimes it got to stay in a shed topic. When I sing the song, my Somebody like Somebody Like we love Somebody. Sometimes it causes me to shed top tears, Sometimes it causes me to sleep. Somebody like you but loves like me. Oh, when I'm thinking Somebody like you but love somebody like. Me, somebody like you, close your eyes and see some videos. I said close your eyes and look at some videos, some historical videos, some archive videos, videos from the archives. Have you close your eyes? close your eyes, sing it again. Sometimes it goes in the chat. Sometimes it goes in the chat, sometimes it goes in when I see the song Somebody like you become somebody like me. Oh, just to think of somebody, Somebody like you will love Somebody like, oh, sometimes I gotta see the sham I've seen. Sometimes I gotta see the trample when I think that's somebody think that's somebody like you will love somebody like you. Hey, somebody like you will love somebody like me too Fantastic. Is it not fantastic somebody like you love somebody like me like me? How many know that you are some way? I mean, you know that even after now you are still somewhere. Raise your hand if you know that even after now you are somewhere and God is still choosing you and God is still saying I like you now I don't know what else you want. Yes. Hallelujah #3 it means to be appointed for a special purpose. Wow, you are called. God has appointed you for a special purpose. This one of my best books is called Many are called Oh, appointed for a special purpose. In Hebrew it is the word appointed means Packard. Packard. See, these are all names you can give to your children give birth to say I'll call you Packard. It means appointed for a special purpose. Or you can call your child Chesset, which is messy. Messy. It means God is showing you kindness, favour, a good deed and loving kindness and bestowing pity on you. Chesset. Oh Hebrew Chesset, you said Chesset, Come here. No. So what is that? So this is mess, kindness, bestowing of pity. God has bestowed pity on me, Packard. It means to give a charge to someone and set him over something. It also means to commit something to someone and to give him the oversight of it. What a privilege it is to have received such an appointment. The Greek word for appoint is diatomia diatomi diatomi diatomi, which means to give someone an assignment, your life on this earth is an assignment and you have to complete this assignment at all costs. In Numbers chapter one, verse 50, the Bible says thou shall appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the testimony. That is the point to be appointed for a special purpose. Packard. Wow, wow. Special purpose, special forces, special job, unique work. Everybody's work is unique. You never know. Amen. Many times the reason why somebody is even employed or favored, it's a secret or people don't know what exactly the person does that makes the person liked. That is why you should be very careful with people's employees. And somebody has an employee, somehow somebody's working with someone. You should, you should assess the person's level of fever, the the level of fever the person seems to have before you tackle the person. Yeah, because you may discover there's another reason that is not said. Now the person is very important, do you see? So be careful. And that's how it is when you see even with me. But I find people tackling people that I am showing favor to or I meet or God has appointed them to me. They, they fall into very difficult books with me. It's true, you know, and I, I, I find myself disliking people who dislike people whom I like. It's true. And I mean, you will, you will find out that over the years, if I, if I've chosen somebody to work with, you find out Bishop Saki will also choose the person. If I choose the person that I want, I like this person, I want to work, Bishop Saki would choose the person. Bishop Eddie would also choose the person. You know, because as soon as you dislike somebody, if I like somebody, you have chosen to dislike the person, It becomes a source of division for us. That person becomes a point of contention. And when the level of like is not at the same level, it also becomes a, a point of division, a point of as it sometimes we don't know that, that there's another reason why people work. So they have two different, different things. You know, like David, King David, you don't know why God liked him. That people, everybody has his own theory about why God like David. He got his sang Psalms because he was anointed because of this, because of the different, different theories. But I mean, when we get to heaven, God will tell us why he like David. And he didn't say that about Joseph. Joseph was 100% correct. No fornication, no one wife. I only know of one. Did he have any other wife? I just married one person. David married. I mean, when he conquers, you know, you marry your wife. Committed murder. There's there's so many problems. That's so there seem to be some reason. And what I want to say is that you, you, when you take on, let's say if God loves Mason Uttabel, then you start to take him on. You see you, you, you, you be surprised that certain forces will come against you in your life because God has his reason. Maybe something that he does nobody does in Ghana. He's the only one who does it for God and God likes him for that reason. Something's very special. It's one of his special sons now. Then you start to take him on and to try to malignantize him and try to reduce him, try to degrade him and downgrade him. Now God will look at you and downgrade you, downgrade you because you have taken on to dislike somebody that he really likes. Because I'm saying that even I've seen it myself in my own life, if I have chosen somebody and I meet people, it has happened so many times. As people dislike the person, my dislike grows gradually for those people, and it's usually manifests at a point. Yeah, I remember one day I got up in the in the morning and I said the words came, I don't like this person again. It just came out of my mouth. I said, wow, I was surprised in my spirit. I realized it was tipped us. I don't like this person again, so watch out. That's the thing with God's servants. There may be a secret reason why that person God really likes them and you can't even stand the person. If you take somebody like Mike Maddock, you know, Mike Maddock can raise funds. I mean, $58 special offering. He's a specialist of $58 offering. Hey, Charlie, there is nobody who can raise funds like Mike Maddock that I've seen talking. Yeah, $1000, fifty, $8, this dollars, that dollar. I see you. There's a side about him that you don't know. And you when you go into the rather he's a, he's a very Holy Spirit man. Very, very, very, very. He said the greatest, he has a message for the greatest person I've ever met in my life is the Holy Spirit. Yeah. And then he has sons a lot of songs about what they say was precious. Somebody told somebody came told that your songs are not nice. You know, your songs are not like, I mean, integrity music or this type of song. Holy Spirit, I like you. Something like that. This is how. So somebody came and told him that your songs are not nice, that you know what he told the person. He said that they are not for you. I'm singing it for I'm singing it for him. I didn't make that song for you. So you see, you may not know why God likes somebody. The president may be in his private room. He may be singing a song for God. God become so excited. God really want to get that from his throne because of the guys, so that you you see the person and then you'll be saying something. Yeah.
