Welcome to track #8 of the word of my patience. Is it not a wonderful message? The word of my patience? Wow, I, I really am blessed by this powerful message. So you have not brought us to a land of mechanism. You said you were. You have not. Where is it? #9 The call of Solomon was a call of patience, a word of patience. Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the ship coat, even from following the ship, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people. Amen. I will also ordain a place for my people, and will plant them, and they will dwell in their place, and they shall be moved no more. First Chronicle 17/7. And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people, moreover I will subdue all my enemies. Further. Furthermore, I tell thee, the Lord will build thee an house. And it will come to pass that when thy days be expired, thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons, and I will establish his Kingdom. This is Solomon's call. It was given to David. He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever, and I will be his father, and he shall be my son. And I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it away from him that was before thee. But I will settle him in my own house and in my Kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever more. Second Chronicles chapter 8, verse one says, And he came to pass at the end of 20 years, wherein Solomon had built the House of the Lord, and his own house 20 years. The word of my patience. Solomon was charged to build God a mighty house. But how long did it take Solomon to build? 20 solid years. Look at the Kodesh. We we, we entered the Kodesh about 20 years after we started. How many years ago is it now? It's about four years that we entered the Kodesh. That was what, 2000? And if it's 2012, two, 1007. And the test started around 19878820 years later that we entered, entered the Kodesh. Yeah. Now you think about yourself, you go. We want a building. We need this, We need this. We should do this. We should do that. Huh. Oh, you don't understand what I'm talking about. Yeah. I'm just trying to explain to you that, look, people that are called, then it's not something that just happens. And it's not. I'm not giving you one example. I'm not telling you all. Be patient. I'm telling you all the people that are called in the Bible. I'm showing you all the people that are called in the Bible. And I've told you, Moses, Abraham, I'll make you like the stars of the, the, the, the sky. I'll make like the sand of the sea. You be a blessing. How long is it going to take before you be a blessing? Look at you today. What are you today? I what? Abandoned. You are abandoned. How long is it going to take before you grow up and come back with something in your hand and say that our school, our church is bringing $1000 a month to Anakazo Bible School? We are waiting. Now we have to spend $1000 to send you somewhere. So you are a bedding or you've not thought of yourself as a bedding. That's why you say you are nobody. You are nobody in a bedding as well. Can you imagine? Nobody in bedding? Hey, Mrs. Madam, nobody bedding, nobody bedding. But all the nobodies will be somebody, and all the burdens will become blessings. Solomon took 20 years. So go and build my house not knowing that it was not just an ordinary word, but it was the word of my patience. Let's read that verse in Revelations where we started off this morning. I think that would be a good scripture to read now. I think you understand it a little better now, isn't it? When I started, you didn't understand it. Revelations chapter 3, verse 8. I know thy works. Behold, I have said before the unopened door, and no man can shut it, for thou has a little strength, and has kept my word, and has not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and bow down before thy feet, to know that I have loved thee, because thou hast kept the word of my patience. I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the earth, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Amen. Are you listening? So what God is saying is that you've been able to keep the word of my opinion, not just a word. I qualify the word. It's a particular type of word. It's a word that needs patience. That's why it's called the word of my patience, the patience of God. Amen. Without that patience, you can never fulfill the vision that God gave to David, to Solomon, everybody. Amen. The call of Isaiah needed patience. And it said unto me, in the year that King Uzziah died, I also saw the Lord. It took Isaiah 6 chapters before he saw the Lord. It's Isaiah chapter 654 chapters without seeing the Lord. It was in the 6th chapter of his ministry that he saw the Lord. Hi, I lifted up and I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall go? Who shall I send, Who will go for us? Then said I here am I send me. And he said, go and tell these people blah blah, blah, blah blah. And he continues, it took Isaiah wrote Isaiah's ministry. Isaiah up to chapter 14 is one section of Isaiah, and from 41 to the end is another section. And you'll find out that there are so many things he lived through to tell the people of God, things prophesying prophet Jesus quoted from him. Paul quoted from Isaiah more than anybody else. And it was not a short minister to you. If you go into the Bible, you feed the kings that he lived through and prophesied through each one. So go and here am I send me, OK, I'm here, send me. It's not a short thing, it's the wrong thing. You'll be speaking when you are older with Gray hair. You'll be speaking, you'll be advising, you'll be ministering. You all have chicken to eat, you have bread to eat, you have rice to eat. You have whatever you need. Yes, but God is saying let's grow up and become old men who will be standing there saying the same thing. Not people that have changed their calling and changed the message and become tired of this work, yes, and gone out of the ministry. But you have energy and time and you are saying, yes, I'm going to yes, I'm continuing, yes. I am an old man now and I believe what I believed. I still believe what I believed. You know, when Paul said I've run my race, I've finished my course and I've kept the faith. The the one that I, I never thought as important was I've kept the faith. I always used to say I've run my race, I have finished my course, but what I have come to see is that to keep the faith is to continue to believe certain things that you have faith about. You still have faith. Now as you get older and you say that where is the milk and honey? You have not brought us the milk and honey, then you now no longer believe what you believed because you are saying that why is the milk and the honey? You said milk and honey. We are still in the same. We have not seen any milk and honey practically in our lives. You thought that you see practically where is it? Where is it? So when Paul said I have kept the faith in that I live my life to the last point and I still believe the things that I started believing and look at my hair carefully, you see that some of it is getting changing colour or it's not noticed. Yes. What did you say? Yeah, I'm not old, but I'm older. I'm older than I used to be, and I still believe. I believe the things I believe because I realized that one of the signs of backsliding is to not believe what you originally believe. So I want to believe my original beliefs more. Yeah, about everything. I've learnt more that I've kept the faith. That's not easy to keep the faith. You see how people get older. You believe in missions. Well, OK, you know I have, you know, it has good sides and bad sides. Do you believe in this? Oh yeah. You know, I have this. And then, you know, there's such an aspect, you know, that when we're younger we didn't look at those aspects. Those type of talking like a mature person who has come to discard everything that we believe your believing comes. Yeah, but there's no need to preach for so long. You see, people get what you are saying after a few minutes. You know when you are speaking, they know what you mean. After some time, they know everything. They call of your word word, of your patience. After you've said it, Once we can understand it. Let us know if we can go home. We understand. Be patient. Bishop, you were saying something. 3 examples would have been fine. I'll keep on giving more examples #11 The call of Ezekiel. And he said unto me, Zika Chapter Two Son of Man, stand on my feet, and I will speak up to thee. And the Spirit entered into me when he speak unto me, and set me upon my feet. Then I heard him that speak unto me. And he said unto me, Son of Man, I send thee to the children of Israel, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me, evening unto this very day, For they are impudent children, stiff hearted. I do send thee unto them, and thou shall say unto them, thou say the Lord God. How long do you think you are going to preach to a stubborn group of people? You know the meaning of stubbornness. Stubbornness means that when you talk, the person doesn't hear. So if God has sent you to a stubborn group to preach rebellious, how, how long do you think the ministry is going to take before it work? Even an ordinary person who is not stubborn, how much more the person is full of stubbornness, cannot yield, cannot bend, cannot understand, cannot give up, cannot give in. Never say die, never say yes, never say no. I think it's your ministry. Is it a short? Is it a short ministry or it's the word of my patience? You need patience with stubborn people. Patience and time more and more. Never bow, never understand. You have to send them for homecoming before they will understand something. When they come for homecoming they will say, ah, I now see what my money is being used for. Amen. What a blessing to have the word of God. Can God send me to stubborn people? Can God use me to minister to somebody who is stubborn? Yes. All that it means is that it's a word of his patience. Yes. Don't come back complaining about the people. Oh, these people are like, that is how people are. God sends his messengers to stubborn people, he said. These are stubborn, they are rebellious. And God can send you to a stubborn and rebellious people and you have to be there. You have to be humble. You have to be there. You don't have to go anywhere else. You have to stay there. And not everybody is stubborn. There are stubbornness in levels and there are more stubborn and less stubborn. Hey, levels of stubbornness. Wow, God sent Moses even though he knew it wouldn't work. He said go and say this very he will not he will not listen, but go. So some of your missions, God knows it's not going to work, but he's still sending you there. Do you understand It's not going to work, but he's sending you go. He knew, he knew Pharaoh wouldn't listen and he told him Pharaoh will not. He will say no, but go. Tell him this. He knew that was the last one that would let him go, and he took him to stages, Stages. Every time he go it will not work but go. It will not work but go, it will not work but go. They are stubborn, they will not listen but go. They are rebellious. They won't follow you but go. That's God, the word of my patience. If you like, come with your giddy, giddy, too fast, quickly things. It will not work here. Go somewhere else and try your fast, fast things, but not in the ministry. The call of God is the word of my patience. Jeremiah, the Call of Jeremiah. Then the word of the Lord came unto me, Jeremiah 1. The call of Jeremiah was a word of my patience, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee, and before thou cameest out of the womb, I sanctified thee. I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then I said, Lord God, I cannot speak, for I'm a child. But the Lord said unto me, Say that I'm a child, for thou shall go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee, thou shalt speak. Be not afraid for their faces. Farm with thee to deliver thee sail the Lord. OK, Jeremy, Chapter one, verse 10 See, I have this day, said thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, to pull down, to destroy, to throw down, to build and to plant. You know, Do you know how long it takes to do this thing? To root out ABI how long does it take come and tell us how long it takes you to take out one of the big trees you recently took one of the insider foundation to root out the school that we are building we. Started a project that particular session, like I think two months or three months ago, we just took it out like last week with the bulldozer, with the excavator because you couldn't manually take. It excavator to do what? To to get to the roots and then pull it. Out pull out a tree. Pull out a tree. It was where our hostel is. Yes, one of the. Set block yes to root out and they have sent you to root and you say by tomorrow I'll finish spiritual trees that were there before you came. When you, Robert, is there, Robert come. When you started pulling down the trees, what are the things I said to pull down root out and you started destroying the forest? What did you see in the forest? We saw snakes. Snakes. What color? Color What? Different types. We saw black cobras, we saw some brown snakes, I don't know what type it was, and then some greenish yellow. But you had one that was staying there? Yeah. There was a resident Cobra. Resident Cobra. It looks like that's where it lives. I mean, it just moves to the left, to the right comes back. Wow, this is where I live. And it was refusing to go. It was. Refusing to go. So God has sent you to root out, to destroy, to pull down, to plan, to build. All these years you've been there, have you been able to build anything? No, still just digging foundation. Are you not digging foundation? Still doing foundation? Yeah. More than two years. We started this project. We are still digging foundations. Yeah. You. You say you are getting up. The Lord has called me to build certain things in this town. I feel an unction from the spirit in our sense. When I go back, I'll root out all the principalities. One day Rejoiner went to a certain town and he had a vision and he saw the Prince. I think it was Amsterdam who said, yeah, you know, I've said it before, OK. And the Lord told him, don't bind the principality that you have seen. Don't bind it. And somebody bound it and that's it. And what happened? The pastor of the church bounded. And what happened? No, I think there was a fire or something happened, a flood, something happened. Even there are some people, you shouldn't pray for them when you see them. If the Spirit doesn't lead. There are some people, when I say I don't pray for them, I just say in the name of Jason Fast, It's not everybody who lay hands does They lay hands suddenly on no man. So you are rooting out things, breaking down things, things, ancient things. When Princess Diana died, I was with Archbishop Duncan Williams on the day that she was buried. I was sitting with him at a Novotel, you know, when he came. He said, well, we had all been watching the funeral. He said, you know, people that rise up fighting ancient establishments, like Princess Diana was fighting the queen and the king and the royal family, she said. He said that people that rise up against ancient establishment things that have been there for centuries. He said some other words. You be careful. You can't just get up and come and boot out the monarchy. Boot out what it means to be a king or a queen or a Princess or a Prince. Just get up and then remove the queen. It's nothing. The king, it's nothing. This is nothing. Prince, it's not. It's not a small thing. You should be careful. Come to root out the catch while rooting down this, pulling down, this down. Hey, it will take time. Take time, it will take time. Charismatics and Pentecostals who don't like Catholics and Anglicans, you can never root them out. And those Anglicans, Catholics method this person who don't like us, who they feel we are, young boys and what they can't easily root us out. It's not easy to root one another out. Even in the Bible when God sees that the church is dead, he doesn't root it out. He rather writes. He says I write unto you because you are dead than you are dead, so I'm writing a letter to you. Even God doesn't root out his dead churches. He writes letters to them. Yeah, that church is writing letters to them. So it is not easy to root out anything. So there's no point in getting up to make your campaign. You have fighting the Catholic Church, you are fighting Presby Church, you are fighting Anglican Church, you are fighting this church because you are. You are doing nothing. You cannot root out. That's why oranges and things will leave the church. They feel a lighthouse. I will expose them. You will see this and this and that. Where are they? It's not easy to do that. So when God has called you root out, you see, somebody may laugh. So I've been called to root out certain days, Hey. And, and it's possible that some of you are really called to root out certain things in Kenya and South Africa, in Tanzania, Lesotho, Malawi, all over the world, Nigeria, Ghana, Congo. Yeah. Wow, wow. Is it going to work? 2 years from now will you be smiling when the call say look, I'm in the word of my patients. 2 years from now I say, look, I'm in the word of my patients. I'm fully operational in the word of my patients. I'm going nowhere. I'm here to the word of my patients. And because thou has kept the word of my patients, the rewards are coming to you tomorrow morning in Jesus name, Amen. Is that fantastic? Is that supernatural? Supernatural. How many realized that everybody was given a pause. It was Charlie in LA not building my house. It's taking of time. Tell your neighbor it's taking of time calling. Even when the Lord told me to write a book. When the Lord told me to write a book, I wrote a book. Forgiveness made easy. Born again, No beauty, Frugality, duality, the beast of prodigality. They went to hell 10 and I printed them. So you see, I mean, I've thought I've written books that has called me to advise even the books today. And even the book that has worked is not at all the book that I thought. Yeah. Have any like loyalty? No, no, no, no. To me, if you ask me what I want to really talk about something important, maybe tell them soul winning or are anointing. These are important things. I wouldn't have chosen lawyers. Loyalty is what the Lord has chosen. Yeah. So I'm just also watching. That's what that is the book that has rather made people know my books. It's fantastic. Yeah. The Art of Leadership. No, no, this book, it just has few points, points, points, points, point, point, point, point, point. When I was right, I said point, point, point, point, point. And I was writing transform, transform, transform, transform, transform. Like that point, point #1 number. I'll be tired like this is the night, 3 AM, 3:00 AM, It's not finishing all. Then on and on. I want to write them every day. The devil tell this nobody, look, nobody will read this. Read it. Nobody will read it. Nobody will read it as there's the commonest statement as I write. So immediately I feel this carriage and I just so even the writing of books. You say that in 1998, when we released the first, it was even the word write a book. You see, you have not even fulfilled it because even the books that you are to read have not even come yet. And maybe it's possible that there are books that have not yet come. They are very important. Yeah. So even that is the word of my patience. One day the Lord told me to write about something. When I finished writing it, then I realized that there was now another project. Because after I thought I had finished, the whole real project now was revealed by writing that one. And it's a book that I have not yet published, but it revealed the absence of another book. So the work of God I tell you and His calling. When we started the Bible school where where was Pastor Yoku with us? Bible School. This same Bible school must be how many years ago 95, 1995? He was the 1st president. We have been doing this Bible school idea for a long time that today we are doing ABS on the computer with the largest computer lab in the country and a campus for Bible school. Wow. And I remember when I was watching Kenneth Higgins funeral because he died in 2003, almost 10 years now. And then I was calculating how old he was when he made the Bibles, when really he was 50 something. Yeah, he was 50 something years old when he made the Bible school, build the Bible school. I said wow. And he was 60 something when I first heard of him. Yeah, it was 60 something, 63 years old when I heard of him. So if he has not changed what he said old, he's no more into this faith. You know, originally when we were not mature, so everything was faith. But there's more than faith. You see, the the greatest of this is love. So these are nothing to faith. I mean to love. The whole thing is sports. So it was a word of patient all his life. Just keep on faith and predictability is the first sign of decrepitude. I'll say it again, say it again. Predictability is the first sign of decrepitude. So it is very painful to be predictable. You can check decrepitude. It means deterioration due to old age. Decrepitude predictability is the first sign of decrepitude. Wow, Yeah. You see, when you get older, you become so fixed in your ways. Everybody can predict what you do. You always sing Amazing Grace. You understand your main song is what Finish what you started, isn't it? Then you always read Mark 11 days, then you know, so it's it's always the same. So everybody can sort of predict you. And so predictability is often the first noticeable sign of an old person who is deteriorated and is not aware that he is no more sharp and moving ahead and staying faithful to your calling looks like decrepitude because you are predictable. You know that that has come here. What am I talking about? The call of God. The call of God is that is that many are called. This is the call I'm explaining the call more. That is the word of my patience. The many are called. I'm explaining that that calling is the word of my patience. That's what I'm doing. That is the same many are called. That is a call. Many are called. Many are given a word of my patience. So I'm almost predictable. What are the topics I will come and preach about? So because it's the first sign of derepitude, nobody wants to be predictable. Now we we know what you will say. So because of that, you shift away from your faithfulness because the faithfulness looks like predictability, which looks like derepitude. Have you checked derepitude? What does it say? Dilapidated state feebleness, especially from old age. The synonyms are age, decay, weakness, and infirmity. So you are predictable. So when the old man comes in, he lists the hymn. The hymn will be now. Thank we all our God. These are the hymns of the same hymns. Same no change, no new song, no projector, no words, no pamphlets. The same in six O 4 in 528, in 119. That's it. So because of that, we, we want to shift away from the real calling because people can predict you. What do you think I'm coming to preach about us? I've come here. Give yourself to Jesus, is it not? Give yourself to Jesus and your whole life, isn't it? Be patient. Isn't it the whole life? Don't be tired. Don't be tired of the church. Never be tired of the ministry, even when people tell you I've not brought us to a land of milk and honey. Don't be tired because Moses wasn't tired. Joshua was in time. Joseph took a long time, Abraham took a long time, Paul took a long time. All of them. Yes, Solomon took 20 years to build even his own house. So don't be so concerned. I have to build my own house. Bishop said you must build your house taking taking of time. If you build it now, it will not be nice. Take your time. You are going to build a very nice house for yourself, so take your time. When you rush too much before you see that you have used terrazzo for the floor. When we have stopped using terrazzo because that is what you could afford. When I built my house, I covered all the floors with terrazzo. That is what I knew. It was later that I realized I've made a mistake. What a shock. So don't be in a hurry. You get it? Yeah. Christ, have mercy. Wow. OK, brother. Finally, finally, finally the last one for tonight. The Con of Peter, Andrew, James, John, Thomas. Amen was a word of patience. Follow me, I will make you fishes of men. Is it not fantastic? This is a powerful word. Then in Matthew 28 he tells them Jesus came and spoken to them, and said, All power is given unto me. Go. He therefore teach all nations, hey, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen. Wow that you should accept the one. Verse 8 and 9. You shall receive power after that. The Holy Ghost has come upon you. You shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth. And when he had spoken these things while they beheld, he was taken up in a club. You see them out of their sights. Amen. Are you there? Are you listening to me? Amen. Wow. Now, Peter, James and John, what was their calling? Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, out of most parts of the earth. Do you know what? I was surprised when I went to India. I went to Chennai. Chennai is down South in India, and there I found a big church built to the memory of Thomas. Thomas the Apostle came to India. Yeah, he's travelled all the way to India and brought the Gospel to India. Yeah. So the Saint Thomas's big church, I went there, I took pictures, I went into the church, everything. He came there, they showed where he was killed. He was martyred there, to the other place where he was killed and how they killed him and everything all day. Chennai, India. Yeah. So I mean, when you say you are going to the ends of the earth, 12 men to the all over the world, it's not a small thing. It's not a small thing. 12 to Judea, Samaria and uttermost parts of the earth. So much is going to India. This one is going here, this one is going not a small thing. It's not a small thing. Yeah, it's not a small thing. It's a big thing. Are you there? Yeah, it's a big thing. It's not something that would suddenly happen when you go to a place you are going to take. I've sent Pastor Peter to India. He's there. It's going to take years, years and years before we have any impact in India. The man whom I went there, he's got about 40,000 people in his church. He stays almost 70 years old. He's been there for years. I'm telling you, it takes a long time to have any impact. It takes a long time. I'm telling you, Yongicho is 75 years old. The whole of Korea is so secular. He's got hundreds of thousands of people, but it's almost nothing. This ministry that God has called us is, is a very big calling that it is truly can only be described as the word of my patience. Something that you have to have patience for years and years and years and years on the same thing without patience. Forget it, forget it. Stop now. How best you are going to Abidjan stand up. How many years do you think it's going to take before you have any impact in Abidjan? People have been there since they were babies. They are speaking Abidjan languages. You have just come. Are you a gun? A gun, isn't that Chuck? Or you were not able to have influence and now you want to have influence in Abidjan? How long is it going to take? How old are you? 26 is the right age because your ministry starts when you are 30, you see? So you might as well be learning languages and just hide yourself over there. So you're showing forth. Uh huh. You don't have to be upset. After two years, there's no income. You have to go and find a job. Why? Why should you be angry? The Bishop told us many are called. We went. We have not seen any. We have not seen the fulfillment of Our Calling. No milk and honey, he promised us. Bishop is driving cars and he has written on his website. We have a church in Abidjan. It's just using us as data. It's using us as data, statistics so that he will look greater. Oh type of thinking is this, you are making me popular. One person this year he told me that he has made me popular in America. I said he has made me popular in America. Is that fantastic, Thomas? We went to India. It's amazing. It takes years. And when you go to India Today, Hindus, plenty. The whole country is made of Hindus. Hindus is the top idol, idol worshipping religion in the world, Idols. The whole of India is Hindus. They have different, different, different thousands of gods. And Buddhism is they have the Buddha, they meditate and all that. And then Islam, when you go to India, Christianity is small like this, in spite of Thomas's efforts, 1.2 billion people, in spite of Thomas's efforts of going there, going to the nations of the world, Vuyu. So if you are too much in a hurry, what's going to happen? There's nothing much we can do. We must be patient and not quarrel against all sound wisdom. Amen. Take our time and do the work patiently. Patient bearing of fruits. We can make it. You are all young. With time, you will overcome all your handicaps. The things that people laugh about you, about, about you, with time, God will help you to sort of smoothen them out. And you, you will be OK. Yeah. You see some of you, when you came up to speak, you were you were given some bullets, some some shots. But but with time, your English should be perfect. All you need to do is to have a friend and tell the friend that any time I say something that is not right, that's correct. If you do it for a few weeks, your English will just suddenly rise up. You and your friend. When you say something like you say most at times I do, I come and I go and I do this. There's nothing like most. At times. It's most of the time I do this. You don't say most. At times they even say it on the news. The people who are reading the news, lot of them have English problems. Or you say that the brother is late. You don't say you don't say that somebody is late. You say the late so so and so the late Mr. Francis or Mr. whatever. But I don't say that he's late. You say that he's dead. His late means that he didn't he hasn't come yet. Christ have mess but but but soon most of the things, most of the things that are funny about you, they will they will disappear. They will smoothen out. You wait and see. Some of you are even too thin. You will soon put on weight and some of you, but with time, word of my patience, some of you don't have any money at all. But it is not unusual. In real life, a lot of people don't have money at all. We'll find out. That's how life is to have a car. You'll find out to have a house. The house I'm living in, my mother who bought it for me, and I'm still in the same house. I've been there for 20 years. Yeah, the same place, in the same room. In the same room. Yeah, for 20 years I've been there. Taking of time. Yeah, taking of time. When you do that, you can stay in this work. My relationship with Bishop Duncan Williams, I thought for a long time I've been related with him. That is why he will come to our program and just be with us, pray with us, talk with us, be happy with us. And when he's going, he say that he is privileged to be here. So wow, is it not wonderful. It's wonderful. When I was, I was that when I was a student, I used to organize a bus. I bought a bus and organized people to come from the university to bring them to church in action. I wanted them to see how is the real church like. I never so organize a bus, bring the people. And I remember one of the days that I came past, Bassets came there and the church was I think at the teachers hall in town. Anyway, it was it was OK for us. And that day, the pastor who preached a white man, he told a story which I told to my children, all my children. So sometimes the older 1 was. Hazadi told you this story. He's still telling this story. Yeah. I had a story that one of my patients story. Yeah. Hazadi told you this story, He told us the story. He told us all these same stories and one of the stories, one of my favorite stories, is a story that I had on the day that I came there. So my relationship with Archbishop is not last weekend. Do you want to know the story that I. Yeah, isn't that fantastic? So you, you must relate. You must relate with that. For 30 years, you see that the weather for patients has worked. If I'm alive in 30 years, I'll be almost 80. Yeah, if I'm alive in 30 years, I'll be almost 80 years old. Can you imagine it? What a shock. He that separated himself, seeks his own desire and quarrels against all sound wisdom. What a scripture. If I had seen this scripture before homecoming, it wouldn't have been easy at all. They are lucky that I didn't see the scripture in time. It's going to work. It's going to work in Abidjan. One day you be surprised at who you are. People come in. So there's a very cool pastor. He's a pastor that he has been in Abidjan for 20 years. He has got branches all over the country. What is he? What is this? Oh yeah, they are else with Tinkle. How many years is it going to take? Four people's ears tingle when they hear of Albert. It's going to take some time, but it's what happened. It will happen. You see, When I told you about your pastor in Ahoy that he used to be a hunter, were your ears not tingling? How many ears were tingling? Your ears were tingling. I'm going to do something that will make you your ears tingle. That is building a four story block over there. Got a big check with branches. He's sending people to Bible school. A hunter. He showed me how they hunt in the forest where he sleeps. Yeah. And soon you'll be going abroad. You'll be preaching here. Here. Different places. Wow, It's amazing. It's fantastic. So the word of my patience, this is what, when you felt God was calling you, that was the kind of word. It was a word of patience. Yeah. That's what he was trying to say. It was something that you need time taking of time. What do you think? Is it fantastic? But I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in the future. If I live long, I know I'll be very rich because of my children. That's true because with time, I tell you, you'll be surprised at what you are going to become. When Papa Hagen was about 80 years or 75 or whether they bought him a car, they came to get his sons, his children. They money planted. So he decided to buy a BMW. What are you going to do? And he said all the rest of the money that they gave to him, he's donating it to the school. Yeah. He doesn't need his tithe. He was paying tithe $2,000,000 for the books that were being sold. Calculate it quickly in your head. It's possible you will make it. Amen. Patiently. I hope the patience is entering your spirit. Moses was told go and save the people from Pharaoh. Look at how many years I've struggled to get them out of the hands of Pharaoh. Like I'm pulling out teeth 1 by 1. Even if I was to use certain principles like all these Bishop interference, I wouldn't. They will not be even. I will say no, no, no. You didn't come when you had the opportunity. This is when we are not feeling well or your hospital is not working or whatever the reason is that you are coming. I surrender, or it's true, almost all of them. I wouldn't accept any, but if I do that, I wouldn't have it. I will not even get even one person from Pharaoh. What a shock. But you know, you guys have become readers because of that. You have a bright future because you see, when you see Bishop Duncan Williams, he could not write. Oh, and and he has spoken to presidents all over. President not I mean, I've met a president before, but not the way he does. I'm believing God for that anointing, but the way he speaks to President, hey, it's fantastic. But I believe that through the patience, patient bearing of fruit, you are going to be stars in the Kingdom, Amen. Is it exciting? Are you ready to do it? Are you ready to bear fruit patiently? Amen. So God is going to use you and you are going to be blessed powerfully. Let me give you one more. I told you that was the last, but just to finish up. OK, we shall do that tomorrow. Yeah. So tomorrow morning we are going to continue early in the morning, I believe. Amen. Stand to your feet. Let's close. Our camp will be ending tomorrow in the morning. When we finish, we are done. Amen. Let's pray. Father, thank you for the blessing of this time, for the excitement of your word. You have blessed us already. We know it. Lord, we are going out of this place ready to fulfill the word of your patience. We love you, we thank you in Jesus name. Amen. Sit down. Let me tell you something you know because. We are related by ministry. We shall meet and meet and meet as we are going forth from here. We are not going into banking, farming, computer science, or any of even if you go into those things, it will be just because something temporary that you are doing. But you are ministers, our pastors recognized. Amen. What do you think? We shall meet? We shall meet again and again and again and again, as if you go quarrel against wisdom, the practice of common sense. That is when we will not meet, we will not have any place to meet. But if you are follow your vision, you follow God, we shall be together and together and in heaven we'll be sitting in the same balcony, same balcony. How many want to be in the same balcony? I want us to be at this side and you will be down outside, Lord. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We have to be in a good balcony, sitting around the same cheering. When we are in heaven. People are coming. Hey, somebody has come home. So who is this? Hey, how did you come? I was sick when I came. What was wrong with you this? Is that OK? So how was the place? And we discussed. I'm coming. And then hopefully you'll get a crown that will identify you with a particular balcony and a house that will be in the neighborhood of where others are. Because all relationships on earth are continued in heaven. They are only purified. Wow. And then boys and girls will not like each other in a wrong way. So boys and girls will be able to stay together all the time. When you look inside yourself, all the paths that make you a boy and the paths that will be gone. Did I tell you about somebody who had, who died, went to heaven? He said. He looked inside. He looked, he wanted to see how he was like. He looked down. It was flat. Yeah. Everything was born. It was flat, yeah. Everything was flat. Yeah. The man, because he was, there was nothing. There were no organs. He was really surprised. He was flying in there and he intended to look down. It was like glass and all the organs were out. Yeah, so we will be just, we can't sleep together that we will be together. Look how we are just sleeping together, boys and girls. We will not be singing. Girls like boys, mothers and Boys Like Girls. We say we all like ourselves, just like Jesus likes us. Wow. Because sometimes you want to be with somebody that is most of the evening. You have to say goodbye. I have to say bye. See you later, alligator. But when we are there over there, glory, there will be no good night. So you can stay in my mansion. Let's. Let's be here. We are going to have a good time. Heaven is going to be great. Hallelujah. We'll be so happy over there. Yeah. Everybody who has died doesn't want to come back. That's what I've heard. Nobody wants to come back. When you say when you come, you'll be them off. It's OK. Yeah, it's OK as it is. I'm OK. Oh, where you stay? You have my soul. It's OK. I am OK here. But I don't need to go back at all. A very wicked and dark place. They don't want to come back. So brothers and sisters, because we are related through the ministry, we related here, we will meet ourselves here again and again and over there we will be in the same balconies and we will live in the same estate, the mansion and planning to be in a big house. How many are planning to be in a big house over there? No small houses, no small houses. Sharing, sharing. I mean you have to share this, you have to wait. Somebody is in the toilet. So waiting. Three more people are going before it's hotel. No more toilette that when you go to sit on you are afraid of what is going to stick on your bottles. No so clean, so beautiful. What a blessing. How many are going to be in a top class mansion with car parks, with marbles? Hey Shabaya, sitting room furniture glassy, and when you look through the windows here you see the throne with the light coming from the Father's throne and by his right hand side the Lord Jesus the Angel. The nearer you are, the nearer with the host of actors, ministers and people that have served more humbly for years. All of them will be there before you plant. Eli, Eli, study for all these guys. What a place to be. I said. What a place to be. Peter, John, James, Priscilla, Quilla. All these Babu names. Tell somebody why you so? I'm Simon. Simon. Simon Peter. Cynthia. You, dear, can we take a picture? Can we take a picture? Pictures. You take us. You miss. Always say you are Paul. Paul. You are Paul. Paul. I'm the one. Really. Wow, what a blessing. So we are going to be in the same place and because of that we'll meet again and again and again and again and again. Amen. Some took communities, some took villages, some took neighborhoods, some took towns, some took nations, and everybody did something. Some of you are going to bear much fruit, some of you are going to bear a little, but everybody is going to bear something. You will never be barren after this school that you are born into. Even if there is barrenness in you, it has come out in the name of Jesus. Yes, you will never be barren in Jesus name. Sit down, sit down. God has put something sweet in your mouth but it is going to go down and there will be some bitterness. But after the bitterness is clear you will prophecy to many people and your fruits will begin to come. Pray always for God to give the words of your mouth power. You can never know that your ministry is power until your words have power. Because one thing that you say to somebody, you see that it happens or the person is affected. That's the meaning of power in the words. Yeah, yeah. Pray that your words will be powerful and anointed. It's not by shouting, but the words are powerful. It changes lives. It works. It works in Jesus name. Amen. Are you excited about that? I want my W to have power. I don't want to shout. I want them to have power. Yeah, I don't know that I just because I can see that Papa Higgins well, has some power in it when you watch him preaching. In fact, if you want to be blessed by don't watch him, just listen. When you watch him, you will not even like to listen. He's the most unimpressive person you can watch to preach. But where there's something in what he says. Baptist preacher with still the remnants of Baptist way of preaching on him. So powerful that his fruits are everywhere. Yeah, Isn't that fantastic? Pray that your words will be filled with power. Powerful words you speak to short one is powerful. It's affecting its word. Not that it will be understood though. It doesn't have to be understood. It just has to be powerful because these days people are getting projectors, screens, they put everything image, they even wear soldiers uniform, different ways of explaining the word. That doesn't make it powerful per SE. It may that they make it more easy to understand that powerful. I'm not sure power is from the anointing and I know that God is going to give your words power in Jesus name. Father, bless us. We thank you for your great blessing as we continue tomorrow in Jesus name, Amen.
