09.Six Ways Of Overcoming Handicaps And Of Giving Themselves Wholly

Welcome to Track. #9 as wiser servant. Six ways. You can overcome your handicaps #1 overcome your handicap by honestly accepting the handicap. Now, when you deny the existence of the thing, it does not help you. So when I talk about, like when we talk about the name, you see, you may realize that all this name that I'm carrying is, is is a. Problem. So you may want. To change the name to some other name. Do you understand? Yeah. But you see those who say, Oh well. That's my name. You can go to hell. If you don't like my name it's fine, but. It's up to you to. Recognize that certain things are disadvant and as long. As you are. Living in denial. You. Are in danger of being destroyed by that thing. Yeah. So honesty is the first thing because the belt of truth is a form of armor. It's part of the armor of God. So when you have the belt of truth, you are able to stay protected from the devil, from Satan. So when you put on the belt of truth or sincerity, you start to defend yourself. But sincerity is very good. It will help you to overcome. Amen. Are you listening to me #2 overcome your handicap. The wisdom to overcome a handicap is to know that everybody has handicaps. You know when you have? The mind that I'm the one who has the handicap. You have what we call a victim mentality. It's like you are a victim of something you understand. It's like. We were enslaved. Oh, we were colonized. Oh, we were this. Look, those who are colonized, those who are not colonized. Those who are slaves, those who are not, everybody has problems. Psalm 34 says that. Many are the. Afflictions of the righteous all. Righteous. People have afflictions and handicaps. So you are not. The only person who is having a handicap so when I am even sharing. My handicap, you don't even think it's a handicap. But it's a handicap. It's a handicap, yeah. But they are real handicaps. I tell you. Everybody has a handicap, so. Whatever the handicap is. Acknowledge it truthfully and #2 know that everybody has handicap, therefore I'm going to make it #3 decide to overcome to become an overcomer. Amen. Rather than being overcome. Like instead of being overcome, I will overcome. I will overcome instead of being. Overcome by this thing. I will overcome it, yeah. And what do we have? All through the Bible. Especially in the book of. Revelation. You have God promising rewards for. Overcoming things, so if God. Knows. That. He's going to reward. You for. Overcoming then maybe the handicap is not such a bad thing abroad, but it's something. That you are supposed to overcome and all. The rewards look all through revelation. He that overcome it, I will. Grant him this. He that overcome it, he that overcome it, shall be this. He that overcome it, so instead of having a. Victim personality or a victim mentality change your mind that. I am going to be be an overcomer and overcome this problem. When I started the crusade I knew. Look when I read Bonkis thing he uses. 900 and something $1000 for one. Crusade. Single One crusade. And I said look. We will do these crusades and we will do more crusades with the small money that we have one day. I went to America to raise funds. I went to about. 6 cities I said I was. On a fundraising tour, I went to Canada, Toronto, I went to Maryland, I went to Minnesota, I went to. Here, here, here. Different, different. Places in our visiting our churches and I mean for healing Jesus. When I came back I asked how much did we get? Oh. This place you had two. 1000 something dollars. Here you had 1000. Whatever. Here you had 3000, I'm telling you. By the time I came back, even my ticket was more. Expensive than the trip, but I said I would. Still overcome because my Ghanaian members in these places are Ghanaians, largely Ghanaians and even African Americans. They are poor. People. Not that they are. Poor, but they are not rich. White millionaires. Yeah, one day I was in. Seattle and I met. So many millionaires. One millionaire took us to. His house on the top of a hill and he. Said he said to me. And elderly myself, I've supported Kenneth Higgin all my life. I'm on his board. When I go to Tulsa, OK, I sit up there at the back because all the board members and the supporters and partners of this ministry. So that's where they sit. And in America, you don't. Have to have a church. To get a lot of money to do your. Ministry. All these Americans, you. See, they don't have churches. Benin doesn't have any church or church members and. He raises millions of dollars every every, every, every few. Days. At least he used to. Jerry surveillance so they don't have churches Jesse Duplantis and. Some of these teaching ministries, even Joyce Meyer. And they don't have churches. They don't have churches. So in America. You don't need to have a chance, people. Just will give you a. Lot of money, millions. Of dollars and you do the work of God. But we without few congregations. So when I saw Minnesota. How much do we get? Toronto How much do we get also? This place we have. 2000 This place, 3000. This place thousand this. And I thought to myself. Wow, It's a. It's a. It's a disadvantage. That makes it less likely that you'll be successful in spite of that, so. That's why when I meet with. My crusade directors, I'll say, look, we can do this crusade without. Spending money. Let's do advert. Let's make. Banners permanent Change the banners. And don't write the date on it so that we can. Use it every time. So we don't have. To make new banners, let's make metal plates so that when we. Put the plate up. We put it back in the in the truck. Then we use it again. Let's go once. Instead of going and coming. Every time for a crusade. Let's go and stay there. Do you understand so? That we don't go and come and we stay. There and do the Crusader instead of. Making a manner I. Have been overcome. By the problem that I. Have by being a guardian officer, I would rather overcome the problem that I came to meet every. Method I can. I say you don't even look at me as somebody. Who is handicapped? Because because I'm overcoming my handicap and moving on, I say I don't have the. Handicaps. And that's why you're also going to be. Instead of it. Look as if you are. Handicapped because you are young. Because of this, because of this, because of this. God is helping you to. Overcome all those handicaps. Nobody will even know that you are a woman. Very soon. Nobody even know that you. Are a man they predicted that you fall, but you stand they. Predicted that you can't make it, but you make it. Somebody said you are not beautiful, but you will see who will marry you. You'll be surprised a very. Nice person is coming for you just now in Jesus name. Receive it one, receive it 2. Receive it three. Receive it 4. Those of you who thought you were not beautiful, you will see something now. God is arriving on the scene to bless. You so make yourself an overcomer and not. To be overcome by the problems. Amen. Are you? Listening to me now number. 4. Pray for. Supernatural strength, yes, he said. For this thing I. Besought the Lord three times. That it might depart from me this phone, remember the phone. And he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you and or my strength is made perfect in. Weakness you see when you are weak. God's strength takes over. So the crusade that we are doing. Is the by the strength of God? Because we are weak. The truth is that we don't have the money. The truth is that we don't have the money. The truth is that we don't have the money when you see us taking offerings at the Cruz as if we are mad. You see, Doctor go taking. Offering at the crusade open. Air with envelopes? Yes, with envelope. And all that part we. Don't show it on the live streaming. When we are doing live streaming, we cut off all those places. And you see him taking. The offering moving in the. Crowds with. Envelope trying hard to raise money from these. Poor people, while we've come to have this crusade to try to offset. The fantastic girls. That we've come to meet. Yeah, instead of lying. Down and saying. We cannot do the crusade again because of the expenses of these days. If I was the president of Ghana instead of sitting down to be overcome by so there's no money. We don't have this, we don't have this. I'll have so many ways and ideas. How to overcome? This thing, yeah, of depending on white people to give us money so that we can do basic things for ourselves. So you are an overcomer of personal handicaps by the wisdom of the serpent. The snake hasn't decided to just sleep for the rest it. Moves. That's why we can't find them. If I knew where that snake was, I would go. Because it's a very. Dangerous thing to have here. I wouldn't like to be asleep. I realised snakes are being found to be in bed with you. You see that you are. You are. In bed. A huge snake in the bed with you. Snakes. Have been found in showers. When people are having their. Shower, then the soap. Falls to the ground. Now you see that the. Because of the mist. In the bath. You don't even look that we are looking. For the we are looking for the soap. And there is a cobra snakes. Have been found in toilets. They come to the septic. Tank anywhere there is water. You think that they like? Water. They need water they drink and they swim. That's why they say look before you sit. Don't just cancel. We don't do that anymore. Once you have been to this camp, you cannot. I see you. Overcoming anything in the past, in the future, in the present, God is giving you the grace in Jesus name, Amen. And finally, learn how to take. Pleasure. In your, in your handicaps, Yeah, you must, you must, you must learn how to sort of. Use your handicap to your. Advantage. You see because because snakes have no legs you see but they use it to their but. They don't have like they can. Fit into so many places. So I mean, I don't have legs, but I don't have legs. I know. So I I'm more compact. Now every. Disadvantage. OK, take me, you know, because I cannot speak fee enough. Well, well enough to preach. I cannot speak Gan. So it's like, oh, and. A lot of people who don't know me so. Lebanese man. This, this. Whatever. If you look at Lighthouse you see that it is even. More international, yeah, it's more international than local yeah, more. It's very, very international. So I'm. Thinking OK, yeah. So. Mika, I'm more international. Look when I. Travel and I go when I travel to. Places I don't preach. To Ghanaians in those countries, I guess I'm going to. I'm going to Malaysia. I'm preaching the Pentecostal. World Fellowship, The Whole. World Fellowship of Pentecostal. Church from the whole world. And I'm a key speaker and, and and. And after that I've been invited to speak in the. Czech, the largest church in the whole of Malaysia. Ever to Malaysians, pure Malaysians. I've been there many times. Yeah, I just speak to Malaysians. I'm going to Korea. I speak to Koreans. I've been to Venezuela, I speak to Venezuelans, I speak to Colombia, I speak to Colombians. How many Ghanaians, Ghanaian pastors go? Abroad and speak to Colombians. I've been to Singapore. Speak to Singaporeans. Huh. It's more international. My mission is more international. I'm taking advantage of myself. When I go to a place, almost everywhere I go I fit. Into a point. So are you from Ethiopia? When I go to India, I preach to. India, the largest church in India, In Chennai, the largest church in India. I was there. Practically 60,000 people came to church. Yeah, practically pure. India. There's no African there. How many Ghanaians past this? Travel and they speak. To. Other international I mean like. Really so? I'm also taking advantage of it. OK, I'm not a Ghanaian. Take it like I'm not a Ghanaian. Take it that I'm not a Ghanaian. So take it, I have no like I. Have no arm. I can pass behind this stone. And though I can pass behind this stone, I'm here. I'm taking advantage of it. Yeah. And sometimes see that certain international people also come to the church. Yeah, we'll go to South Africa. Totally international there's. No Canyon in the church there. South Africans. Fully go to. Zimbabwe, Zimbabweans, Kenya, Kenyans. A couple of weeks ago, 1000 people came to. Church in Nairobi, our church, the main church. Yeah, Kenyans. Kenyans. Went to start a church. Just Kenyans, yeah. So I'm taking advantage. Now my crusades I'm taking. Advantage of of being from. Africa. Although it's like a handicap. Then he asked when he saw our crusade. He said how much does it cost you to do? He said he told me so. To me it will cost $500,000 to do the script. I just smiled in my head. So and it will cost. Me. I mean less than almost less than 100% of what you are saying. I can't. Do this crusade without crusade. I've learned how to do it. A lot of things in. Africa, they don't know. When he went to Nigeria, he he stood on the. Stage and he stood 4 million. Dollars down the drain he spent. 4 million. Dollars for that crusade in Nigeria. And the people didn't come? Yeah. And he stood. He said $4 million. Down the drain we stood it. But we are Africans, they are from here, so we know the terrain. Although it's a disadvantage. I'm making it an advantage. Yeah. We are on the ground here. Yeah, that's on home ground. Yeah, the crusade that cost bunky $900,000 do not cost me $900,000 to do that crusade. Yeah, because I have my another way, Yeah. When we went to, went to. Went to some crusades international Americans have come to have. Crusaders, they gave everybody a laptop. They gave this, they did this. They bought cars. After the crusade, they are able to buy cars. Those who are involved in the game, because they have a lot of money, they give them money. They said we we don't give money. Hey. They said give us 40,000. Dollars to go and mobilize. Because those Americans invite, when they come, they give 40,000. Go and mobilize. Ashes 4000. Ashes $40,000. That's the cost. We will mobilize ourselves. Please. So you see I'm using my handicap. But that the handicap is supposed. To be that because I'm. From Africa. But that handicap is now I'm using it. Yeah. And my books, you say I'm a handicap. So everywhere I went they say you can't send it to Sierra Leone. So now I'm sending it to Sierra. Leone and they are reading. And they are coming. The fastest are coming for ISI and they are all attending. They are reading, they are listening. Yeah, I don't try to. Sell my book in America anymore? I don't try to. Sell to any American. English. Nothing I've tried before. Nothing. So African black people, that's all. And through that I'm. I'm becoming one of the. Biggest Christian artists in the. Whole world. I followed my handicap, yeah. So what is your handicap? What is your handicap? What handicap do you have? Instead of sitting there moaning. Instead of sitting there crying. All day long. That God seems to have. Forsaken you, that is why. Your. Color your name, your tribe. Your continent, your this, your family poverty, this the shutter. And start organizing. Yourself to overcome those handicaps in Jesus name. Now when I see Americans, I tell her where my. Books are. Read your books. Are not found there. My my sister went to Mount Kilimanjaro and she thought she was climbing the mount. When she climbed the mountain, she she got. To either the top or. The bottom of the mountain. She entered the shop in Mount Kilimanjaro and she saw my books there, she said. All my books were there. She took a photograph. And said ah. This is my. Book So Mount Kilimanjaro, yeah. Mount Kilimanjaro. Maybe my book is not in. California or It's not in New York, but it's not the. New York Times best advice in Mount Kilimanjaro, it's in. KJB. It's in KJB TDJ's book. Is not in Hoy I. Can tell you that. See, TDJ's book is not in Hoy. My book is in Hoy. I say all my. Books are in Ho Ho and KJTI&KJPKJPKJPKJPKJP and. Jazakan yes, don't go Chrome my books. Are there Wow I'm. Becoming one of the. Largest Christian publishers and artists. Ever African artists. Yeah, and even world artists I'm becoming. Through my handicap I've accepted I'm not here when. I go here without legs. You cannot pass. Here, without arms you cannot pass it. When you cannot hear, you cannot go to Australia. It's Africa that I can. Close. I will be the Africa like that. No, I will follow the Africa line. You think? Because you are a Nigerian, it's a disadvantage. If you listen, you see. Nigerians have the biggest churches because they have an inbuilt. Aggression caused by. Bad leadership that has forced everybody to be aggressive, everybody in the country. Is aggressive because. We know that the ones of there are. Thieves, so you have to. Rise up and save yourself, which is happening. In Ghana, gradually so that. Made the whole. Country has a high entropy you. Know what is entropy? Entropy. Check it, it's a state. Of excitement of the atoms and electrons. Entropy. I like the. Definition of this handicap. The disadvantage that makes success more difficult. Disadvantage that makes success more difficult and I gave you 12 and there are some you may marry some woman who will have a mental problem. The more handicaps unseen, unseen handicaps a ton in the flesh. Entropy function of thermodynamic variables as temperature, pressure or composition. That is the measure of the energy. That is not available for work. You see, there is energy. Available but. It's not being used for. Work anyway, all right are blessed are you? Excited to be an. Overcomer of personal handicaps. How many realize that because a? Snake has made it. You can also make it. That's why Jesus said be as wise as a serpent, make it as a serpent has made it in this. Life. Yeah, In this world. Serpents have made it. Now I want you to. Admire them a bit, you know, look at this. Cannot hear. No legs. No hands. It's moving, moving, surviving, giving birth, having families, grandchildren, great grandchildren. Wow, is it amazing. OK, now what's the next one? Are the dancers ready to dance? OK, the next one. Masters, Serpents and Masters are giving themselves wholly. This is the second. Most deadly aspect about snakes is that they when they are killing their prey. They use their whole. Body to kill their prey. They're not a part of the body. Do you understand they are? They are all out. The whole body is used, yes, what? A creature from the head to the tail. Every aspect is used to hold the. Prey and squeeze it. And kill it these. Are the two types of snake those that use the inner? Power, or those used the power of giving themselves. Wholly and totally to what they are. Doing these are the 2. Powers of a snake. It's either you. Meet one which gives itself. Wholly. And that's where the. Power lies. That it. Gives. Its totality of its body. To do it or it. Has an inner power. That it releases and uses. To overcome its victim. Now if you are going to be as. Wise as a serpent. You are either going to develop that inner power, which is what we. Spent a lot of time talking about today. Or you are going to. Also. Develop the ability to give. Your whole self to whatever it is you. Are trying to do. That's the wisdom of a server. Titans. Boa constrictors. Anacondas. They. Kill not by poison. Or by the inner power. But by the power. Of having given them their. Totality of themselves to whatever they are doing. And if you are going to be. As white as a serpent. You must learn how to also. Give you see if I'm. Going to kill a snake. I'll use this hand, ha ha. I don't use my whole, I don't use my whole body to. I just use my hands to kill it or a. Stick. And to use. Your entire self. Squeeze you with your legs and everything. From head to tail, it's involved. In what you are doing. Now this is great wisdom. You see, many people fear God. Not they don't fear God, but they. Fear the ministry so much and they don't give themselves and it's not. Wise, this is something that you give half hearted attention to. It will never be the same. As something you give just I mean you. Give yourself fully to. Yeah, that's why Ida is a better singer than all of you stars, because she's actually a professional. That's that's. Actually her work, even if she's in full time ministry and her main work is singing and she, she, she has to practice and she's been doing it for a long time spontaneously. There's no, I don't remember anything. I tell her sing this one and then she cannot sing it. You see that you always say even if she. Forges the words. She still sings that. It works. Sometimes people tell me that she's but. I can't see that she's. I've never seen her. Giving the wrong word. Ever. I've never noticed it. And I'm very passionate, knows I notice everything, yeah. She she gives to give herself. Wholly. Yeah, what about you? We are planning to give God Tuesday evenings and Sunday afternoons. That is not the wisdom of the serpent. The. Wisdom of the Serpent will. Give yourself. Totally to your. Project that is. Why a snake can? Swallow a. Deer. A whole deer. With the horns and the roofs. And the home sticking I can. Swallow a, you see. The thick flag I can swallow a deer, that is. Standing like this and I'm going to show it to you on the film, yeah. Thus he gives himself total. As he's. Coming to Italy, his. Whole self has come. Whereas you are going to give yourself to God. Just a bit and keep the rest back. Sometimes you see people who are even developing jealousy. Against me. For what God has blessed me in the ministry, you should not be jealous, rather you should receive understanding. That if you give. Yourself wholly to something the Bible says, your profiting will appear to all. First Timothy 4:15 Give thyself wholly to them, that thy profiting may appear to all. So if if you. Fell into the into the hands of a snake that comes around you like this ask. It to squeeze you rather. And as you breathe, let it squeeze again. Let it squeeze. Again, let it squeeze again. To finish. Your downfall from the head to. The toe has been used, didn't just pass on his tail. To finish you 3 examples that show the effects. Of giving yourself. Wholly to the ministry #1 Jesus Christ gave Himself fully to the ministry and bore much fruits. Jesus was a Carpenter, Amen. All right, but he never continued the carpentry and God called him Amen #2 Peter was a fisherman, but when the time came he had to stop fishing. He left everything and he said. Behold, we have left. Everything followed you. I want to encourage you to leave. Everything and follow. Jesus read my lips, read my lips, read my lips, I said I want to. Encourage. You to leave everything and follow Jesus with my lips clearly, Peter. Said we have left everything and have followed you. We have left everything and have followed you. Can't follow. Jesus without leaving something behind. Fathers will not preach these things to you today, but I'm telling you. To leave. Everything and follow Jesus give. Yourself to God. Give yourself it takes your whole life, your whole life. Not part of your life Is this sometimes people when they are 40? They want to now give themselves. When you are 4040 years of the 70 have passed. If you will get. To 70, that is. 40 of your 70 years. Are gone by. And you may not know you are not. The same as when you were 22. Peter said. We have left everything and followed. I left everything I left medicine I left was a doctor certificate. MB CHI left it. I left it and I. Followed Jesus into whatever I. Become my few members. May be like. This it's all students. You see as I'm. With you, you know. You are the same people that I had 25 years ago. I have the same faith. If we are, if God blesses us to continue, you see that this church will become a very big church. Oh yeah, from you. I'm not afraid of. I'm not afraid of, I'm rather happy I'm. Rather happy to be here. These same students you. Don't have cars? You don't have anything. You wait. I'll be here with you. Practically, you see that you. Have cars? I have this, you have this you have. This we have all these. And so that you'll. Be mine. The wedding should be coming week after week after week after, plus your children. Will all be joining. The church I'm. Just waiting. For your children when your. Children come, you're. Going to start piano. Practice for all of them. First lab juniors, as you get older I will be concentrating on them. At a time your child is 7 years. Old. I will be. Taking your child to South Africa for. Tours. Your child will be going. On a tour to sing and dance. Seven years, eight years 9. Years you wait and see. Seven years from now, you'll be 20 something still. Eight years, nine years from now, I said. I'm taking your child. For a tour, let's ask. Our children are on a tour now in America. Yeah, your child will be on tour. I will get a music director teach them music. All your. Children will be doing piano. Practice in the first lap church. You wait and see. All of them. I won't let it. Even one of them not to do. Piano practice, Piano lessons, Trumpet lessons, Guitar lessons. How? Can you be in the child without playing instruments? It's a. Requirement. Don't you want your child to play guitar? What you couldn't do, your child should do. Are you listening to me? Yeah. I'm waiting to do the wedding for you. So that you. Bring the children. So keep yourself holy. Why enough for me to give my whole life I. Don't need. I don't need. I don't need to. See any of you? Selling, getting materials or. Anything. I don't need anybody. Here to look even. Prosperous slightly. Doesn't mean anything to me. Oh, no, no, no, no. Why a soul? You are very important. A soul is a soul. It's enough. For me to give my. Everything to serve the Lord, to look. After the soul, Jesus said, look, if you love me, feed. My sheep. One day you see that it's true. If you love me, it's. All this feed the talk to them. What am I doing? I'm. Talking to you every day I'm talking. Talking. If not, notice. That I'm talking talking. Talking, talking, talking, talking. That's a pastor. A pastor is always talking to the people, advising them, speaking the words of Jesus, all the. Time. So. And if there is a soul in Guinea, in a town called Mamu. Or in a town. Called. Kisidugu, it's enough for. Me to live my whole life. Yes, this. Peter said we have left. Everything and followed you. That's everything, and we followed you. And this is what God is calling us today too. Don't make the mistake. Of not giving up. Everything to follow Jesus. Don't make that mistake, you will regret it later. You will regret those you. Also get you. Have somewhere to stay? You have a car to drive. You have food to eat. And you see that somebody has given himself. Also, but he also has a car he also has. Somewhere to stay. He's also OK his children. Have also got grown up. That's all. And you? See that? But then I'd rather use my time for. This one, that's the heavenly rewards. That's your. Faith and you're by. Faith, you serve the law. Come on now #3 Paul gave himself. Holy, he said. I count. All things to be lost. In view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ. Jesus, my Lord. For whom I have suffered the loss of all things. And do count. Them as dumb as rubbish. That I may gain. Christ. He lost everything that there is. To be found so that he could get. Christ. Yeah, also I don't. Want to lose anything? Then you can't gain. Christ you can't gain. Christ, I want. To still be miss Ghana, I want to still be miss. Malaika, I want to still be look. Then you can't have the baby. One other baby, you have grown up. You can't be desert, petite, whatever with these. Types of shapes and. All you are going to. Balloon A little ballooning. Going to have a baby. It can't be the same. It's not going to be the same. There's a price to pay for every. You can't have your cake and eat it. You rather have. Your cake in a plate and you watch the plate every day, so it's a nice. Cake. It's a nice. Or you eat the cake. And it will be in. Your stomach. You can't have. It in the. Plate and also. In your stomach do. You understand it. Yeah, so snake serpents are masters of giving themselves holy, holy, holy. Look, me, I have given myself holy to the ministry. Yeah, my intelligence, you know my intelligence. And I must be intelligent. I must be intelligent. At least I have. Some form of intelligence I give the totality to the ministry. I don't use any. Part of my intelligence to make money or to do business, True. I don't have, I don't have any business. I don't have any business at all. I don't have investments. I don't have anything that gives me money. I only have to check the work of God. I'm totally, 100%. I don't do a. Lot of. Pastors do business on the side. I'm not saying that it's wrong, but for me, I'm giving myself holy to the ministry. All my intelligence is used. To earn money for the church and to. Bring more income to bring. More souls to do more. Crusade to build more churches. Every day, even sometime my resting time, you see that I'm I'm. Just trying to build church. Last night, since 1:00 AM, I've been awake. He could chatting with pastors. In the north about blocks. And other things. In different church buildings in Boku and other places since 1:00 AM, that's what I'm doing. For me, I'm church. I'm the church person. I am totally. All that I do is the church holy. Everything is in the church, yeah. You have. You have come partly, yeah, I don't have. Even 1. Thinks of business or. Economic or politics? Tonight I was supposed to be at the function with the president. I said I'm having a camp. I'm supposed to be at the function with the president while I'm speaking. I said I'm having a camp. You should have said. It earlier and with my children we are having a camp. Think I'm lying, I'm just. Using it to preach like I'm trying to find windows. Or maths. Amen. So my friend, give yourself. To the Lord. Peter said we felt the first that I count all things but loss. Yeah. All things but loss. I come from a family of lawyers, come from a family of lawyers, distinctive lawyers, famous lawyers. That I'm now a pastor. Yeah, I'm now a pastor. My father said I've been found my son to come and leave from collections. He was. Mixed up about that because at times he was happy about it. I was not happy. My father said when I was born I was lying in the court. I looked so sure and so wonderful. On the 14th of May I was born. I looked. So he lifted me up. Early I was born in the morning into you, O God see He was now. Giving me to Royal when I left out. You are saying God had his prayer. God had his prayer in the hospital. Yeah. Give yourself holy. My intelligence, my money, my my first sound. System was the church speakers. My. Car was the church bus. And my many. Things are the church's. Things make me. Think about my mother gave. Me equipment, office equipment. I brought it. All to the church. So let it be the church office after today they are using. Them since whatever. 20 something years ago and. You are jealous. You are jealous of me. When you are giving yourself. Peace, small peace like this for the Lord. Or you are keeping your children from serving the Lord. Don't bring yourself this evening. My intelligence, my money, my name, everything for the Lord. It's great. Come and see the churches that we are. Building plenty, plenty. More churches, more crusades. More souls, more. Books. That's my business. I love the Lord and I've given myself 100%. Wow. So Jesus gave himself, Peter gave himself, Paul gave himself. What about you? My ideas? God gives me ideas. I have ideas I. Have ideas all the time? Why not I give my ideas to the Lord? I have ideas. All the time and I wake up. I have an idea. Why don't we do this? Even when I watch films, I get ideas. For ministry, yeah, One day I watched a James Bond film. When I finished, I called my secretary. I said watch this film. You see something when? You get to this film. Start and buy 1 of it. We need it. We need it in the office. Buy it. We need it in the office. When I saw. What they were using in the office, I said. This is. What we this is? What we need. I called. I said buy, find it. I was trying to say take the film, watch it, you see? When it gets to this act, I said use it, I see it, buy it, we need it. Even when I'm watching the film, I'm seeing revelation for the law. That's why Rambo has. Brought a lot of revelation. Because even as I'm watching. It I'm anointed and I'm receiving revelation insights are you you give yourself to the Lord and then after you give. Yourself to the devil. Then you come back to the Lord, and you come back to the devil. Lord to the devil, to the Lord, to the devil. Well will you give yourself, and you may give yourself to the devil. He will bite you and you stay. At the at the side mercy may. Never be so in Jesus name. Your ideas, your gifts, your. Skills. Your background, your home. I've had missionaries staying in my house for more than one year. Permanent visitors, Yeah, I've had visitors. You see a. Pasta is. Your. Home is a Your home is a is a hotel. Your home is the center. Of hospitality and hospitality and. Arrivals. That's the one. You are a lady, you. Cannot give. You cannot. Eat. We only. Come to us. We cannot. Get something to we will starve to death. Will get outside in your house. Because we've made the mistake of coming to visit you purposes. You have to, you have to be given to hospitality. When I come to us, am I going? To eat bones when a visitor comes to us and a visitor has. To go to the kitchen. To go and organize police, the spine of a tragedy, it's a sign of a tragedy and it's a sign that there is an unhospitable person there. Can I take him? Describe when when he preaches about love he describes. How he stayed at. People's houses. He and his wife's starvation. Until finally they got. Up and they went to the kitchen themselves to go and organize things. And even then there was. Nothing in the kitchen. Every time he preaches about love, he always talks about what? Happens to him when he. Stayed at people's. Houses my house like to give. Yourself holy to give your. House and my. Wife has a Hostess, my wife is a Hostess hosting people when we come to our door. Ask us whether to defrost or whether to. Boil or whether to whatever. Just bring the food and put on a film for. Us to be watching. Whilst we are bringing the food. Don't ask us whether. It's too late whether we eat in the. Evening. It's a stupid question. Nonsense. And make sure that there's. Toilet roll in the house so that the guests will be there. We can say do you have toilet roll please? I'm inside the toilet now. And early in the morning you have. To give him food before. He asks for food. Visitors. At dawn you. Have to go at dawn, knock on the door and. Give them tea hot. Tea. Here's your tea. When I visited my wife many years ago, that was one of my surprises. And in the morning? They brought me a tea tray with everything. My love isn't just grew. I've come to a home of. Hospitality, not a home of. Starvation and difficulty. Early in the morning. A young girl came with a tea tree with. A jug, whatever tea this hot special, I said. Wow, I'm in a Sheraton hotel. And some of you don't even know how. To make tea because you don't drink tea, you eat tankoo, you don't drink tea. And what I'm saying is not relevant. Stop preaching. You see this, stop preaching. You see this one is not preaching and it's domestic issues. You see your math, your math like. Domestic issues. I've come to your Bible says. That a pastor A. Deacon Dickens wife must be AB hospitable this. I didn't write the Bible. One day, one of our pastors travelled. Somewhere he began to have starvation ulcer. He called his father and died in the house. And you see that the. Visitor has risen up by. Himself and go Charlie look. Down there, Charlie, I mean. Now dear Charlie. Now dear, Now dear, now dear Charlie. I mean CC. For put aside all dignity and. All I mean respectability I. Need food now, the guy. Has gone wild in the house. I'm dying. Oh, all I did die. I need food. All I did die. No fine, I say. No fine. One day one of our pastors was travelling and he met my wife. She saw him putting some things into his bag. He was travelling. He was travelling somewhere, yeah. So my wife asked him, What are you doing, Sam? I've been with Bishop many times. Bishop always advised me. Take something should in case. When you get to that place, they will ask you whether you should. Boil rice, so he said. He always takes something. For his stomach's sake from. Experience and it has saved him many times. Yeah, it's what you have seen it before. It is what you have seen it before. When I was in the Ligon Hall. He used to go to. Water Hall. Every room you smell food. But you don't see food.
