Welcome to track #9 of the Bag of Seeds. Sing a song for us. I'm in my heart, and Lord, you know me. There's no use pretending. You see right through me. You know where I am. You see all I do, Lord, you're never sleeping. You know where I stand and what I see. You know all my words before I speak. You know if I'm laughing or if I'm crying. Oh, you're never sleeping. And there's no place I can hide from your love. I can only survive through your love. Show me somewhere to go. That place you don't know. Just to cover my soul. The wings of the dark. I'm I fly to the ends of the earth, beyond the sky. I can go anywhere. But I know you'll be there wherever I go. You know where I sit and where I stand. Each moment I live. I'm in your head and I can't get away from your sweet spirit Lord. You're never sleeping. Long before I was born, your eyes could see me on my days before they reach me. I can't get away from your spirit and Lord, you're never sleeping. There's no place I can hide from your love. I can only survive through your love. Show me somewhere to go, that place you don't know, just to cover my soul. And on the wings of the door I fly to the ends of the earth. Be on the sky. I can always be there because I know that you can. Wherever I go. Oh, oh, oh Lord, I know that you're there. I'm surrounded, surrounded. You surround me, Lord. Surround me, Lord. You're never sleeping, Lord, You're never sleeping. There's no place I can hide from me, Your love. I can only survive through your love. Show me somewhere to go. That place you don't know just to cover my soul. And on the wings of the dark I might fly to the ends of the earth beyond the sky. I can always be there because I know that you care wherever I go. I can go anywhere, and I know you'll be there wherever I go. The Lord is my light, my salvation. The Lord is my light in my salvation. Whom shall I fear when He's the strength of my life, day and night? There's no need to be afraid. The Lord is my light, He's my salvation. Whom shall I feel when he's the strength of my life day and night? There's no need to be afraid. I have a secret place where I seek my God's face. I find the peace for my troubled mind, 'cause he carries me over mountains and comforts me through the valley. When I'm going through my stones, I'm protected in his arms. Oh, my father. Loves. Me. He is my light, The Lord is my light. He's my salvation. Who shall I feel? Oh, 'cause these are strength of my life day and night. There's no need to be a parade. When evil tries to destroy me, it tries to make me fall. He put me up on a rock, out of the reach of them all. When my enemies try to hurt me, I don't have to worry. I'm in his care. Not just here, but everywhere. I'll go to that hiding place and I'll seek my God's face. I find the strength to go home. He carries me on the mountains. He comforts me through the valley when I'm going through my storm. I'm protected in his homes. Oh, the Father loves me. That's why I say the Lord is my light. He's my salvation. Whom shall I fear? He is my strength. The Lord is my strong tower. He's my hiding claims from day-to-day. He's my strength. The Lord is my strong tower. And you know what? Don't you walk through the valley of shadow of death. You know that you're not alone. Oh, and the Lord is my life. It's my salvation. And whom shall I feel when He's the strength of my life day and night? There's no need to be afraid. Oh no, The Lord is my life. In my salvation. Whom shall life be? Will he the strength of my life, night and day, day and night. There's no need to be afraid cause the Lord, He's my life, He's my salvation. Who should I fear? Oh no, no, no, He's the strength of my life, right in day, day and night. There's no need to be afraid. The Lord, He is my life and my salvation. Who shall I fear? He's the strength of my life, day and night. No need to be afraid. Well done Lord, I got what does it say? Psalm 126. No, that's first five. He who goes to and fro, weeping, carrying of seed. Indeed. Come again with a shout of joy. OK, now the next thing that I want us to talk about for just a few minutes before we close for tonight is weeping. Amen. Weeping, weeping, weeping, weeping. Amen. In the Bible times, you could not think about worshiping God without making a sacrifice. How many realize that there's nothing like worshiping God without a sacrifice being made? Isn't it Or it? Is not it? Is it It or it? Is not it It is it There's nothing like we are worshipping God and you are not presented. You're going to worship God with a sacrifice. Somebody's going to cry. Amen. So instead of having a mentality of, you know, the mentality of like, I'm going to escape something, I'm going to enjoy something, you must have the mentality that I'm going to suffer, I'm going to cry and I'm going to lose. What did Jesus say? Whosoever will save his life will lose it. Whoever will lose his life will save his life. So I'll tell you one of the most important things if we want to be in this seed sowing business is we should just go by what is in Psalm 126 that he that goes to and fro weeping. Let's not rather title he that go to and fro rejoicing, happily excited. But the man should be that we are going to suffer. Look at, look at me travelling to Singapore, to Malaysia, the Philippines, all kinds of places. I never thought I would ever see these places. Hotel my, my back pain is from hotel beds. The places that I've slept in are the hotel I was staying in, in, in, in. Singapore used to be the tallest building in Southeast Asia. And you see the kind of things that they are. They built a boat in the air. Just you see the view from my hotel room. Amazing, amazing. I never thought of all these. So these things are added bonuses, which I mean you don't even, you don't even expect or want or need. This is the point. That's that is why ministry becomes impossible for some people. It's like tithing. I don't expect to use 100% of whatever I including my rent and anything does not include that calculation at all. If you go for a job and they ask you how much are you going to earn and they say you're going to earn £500, immediately you should calculate that I'm earning £450. Just just like how? When is it tax? So let's tax this, this. I mean, just tell me how much am I taking home? That's what I'm actually going. And when they tell you how much am I going home, my lost tithing is going to be harmed. That is the real income that you have. The rest does not belong to you. The tax to the government you cannot escape and the tithe to God, you cannot escape it. But as soon as you start trying to fiddle, it's always, you're always crying too much. You can't fiddle with something that God has determined. So plan without that apparent and enjoyment. But if you look at, let's say young couples, young couples, and you can't blame them really. We plan with delusions, isn't it? Yeah, a plan with delusions of life. When you were coming to London, you had plans also if you wanted to be millionaires. But how did you receive Arrows of the Mighty? Because you are looking at false things, things that were not real, sharp arrows of the mighty. So plan with weeping, Amen. Plan with sorrow, plan with hardships. If that is in your mind when God slightly increases your belt, Lord, Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure, Lord? Is it not a trek, Lord? Huh. This is this is how? Look, do you know that fasting, suffering starts with the mind, Just like sex, The largest sex organ is the mind. Yeah, suffering comes, starts from the mind, so that when you see very, very, very poor people looking really, really, really, really sad. And one of the things I've learned to tell myself is these people are not sad. You feel they are sad. They are not sad at all. They are happy in a recent survey about the happiest countries in the world happiest people. Nigeria was one of the top most countries in the world, a country with a lot of strife, civil strife, corruption, whatever it was ranked number one of the highest in also with Jamaica and countries like England and so on went down lower. Yeah, happiest countries in the world. And so you ask yourself that what is the source of happiness? See, it starts from the mind, the fact that your shirt comes from a particular shop. All perfumes you can buy Tesco. Do they sell perfume at Tesco's? I mean Tesco perfume with a Tesco name on it. How do you smell the difference? It's your nose, a computer. It's your nose a computer that it can tell that this one is from Paris and this one is whatever all the suffering, 90% of the suffering comes from the mind, and then there's 10% of reality. Otherwise, most of the world, those of you pastors from Switzerland, very few people in the world see what you see in this world, less than 1%. Many of us here in England, I'm telling you the majority of the world does not have and the majority of the world are happier than us. So the sadness and the unhappiness comes straight from the mind, not what did Jesus say that a man's life does not consist in the abundance of things that he possesses. And it's a fact. The number of things that you own will not make you a happy person. It will look, it has never and will never. So tell yourself in your mind, the Bible says arm yourself. I think it's the first. Peter 4 three or something he says arm yourself with this mind. Do you see where you are ready to suffer for Christ. It's it's a it's a kind of protection in your arm that in your mind that I am going to suffer genuinely not something that you are saying. Read it out first, Peter 41 for as much then as Christ has suffered. For us. For as much then, as Christ has suffered for even the microphone. First, Peter, for one, for as much then as Christ had suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same. Mind arm yourself likewise with the same mind. For he that has suffered in the flesh had ceased from sin. He that has suffered in the flesh has seized from sin. Amen. Are you there? He that has suffered in the flesh has seized from sin. Arm yourself. Arm yourself with a mind. So that means the way you think can be like arms. I'm yourself with the same mind. So it means that having a way of thinking is a form of defence. But you see, do you know why people go almost from day to night in marital? Those who are, those who are open and expressive because they have not armed themselves or we are going to suffer. So I've found the joy of I'm going to become the happiest, whatever. So then when it is even different, what? Not even that it's battle, but it's normal. From the pink cloud with which you sleep on the sky to normality. Then they feel sad and they feel I'm being deceived. But you've just come down to earth, not to hell. You are not yet in hell. You are just on earth, and the earth is what is making you have all those bad thoughts because your mind was not originally correct. Most of the young people have wrong minds about love. Haven't you seen somebody who is in his 40s trying to get married? I don't think about falling in love. Oh, I don't think about falling in love at all. I just look, look, you are a good person. I mean, this and that. Pastor says you are, this is. Look, will you marry me or not? I mean, you can decide by tomorrow. I'll have somewhere to go. Yeah. When Misosaki was going to marry Elsie, do you think he has time to go around like Michael? When Michael Jackson found that small girl and was asking her and he asked her say, do you like me the way I like you? You understand that you like me the way I like you. Do you like me the way I like you? You know that song trailer When he caught the girl in the You like me the way I like you. You are joking. It's like me the way I like you. It's like the way I like you and she said yes Michael. Yes Michael. Then she said I'm not like other other guy said of course Michael. That's why I love you Michael. Look at look at somebody. Look at you. You are joking. There is a joking in your eye mirror. There are mirrors in your eyes. Mirrors. Three lights, 3 lights in your eyes. You know I like you. Yes. Michael, Do you like me the way I like you? Is it the way I like you? It's like I like you in that way you like me the way I like you? Yes, Michael. I'm not like other guys, you know. Of course, Michael. That's why I love you, Michael. Jack, look at somebody. Mirror, mirror, mirror. There's mirror in your eyes. Hefty delusions. And, and, and. And exactly the thing she saw, it turned into a monster, just as it is in real life. Yeah. From this to that he does. I hope you like me the way I like you. Yes, Michael. I'm not like other guys. Of course, Michael. That's why I love you, Michael. Games. Games this is this is how we are going to work in marriage. There is pepper in your mouth. That you have to go in your mind that the guy's a monster. I can't stay with a monster. I'll stay no matter the format you take you format into this way or this way with a long mouth tooth and I can't stay with you. I can't stay. I can stay. I can stay with the monster. But because you have you have got a mind. Yes, Michael. I love you, Michael. You see, as soon as one of the teeth became long, let's see that you are ready to run. That we are running. So I want you to have in mind we are going to and fro weeping, weeping, weeping, weeping when we come and visit you and say, hey, is this the weeping? See, you see that the Lord may have delivered you from certain he said, hey, you know, I wasn't expecting to be weeping here. Look at us. Look at how we have been blessed here. I thought we would just be weeping every day. Look at the Lord of taking care of us that you are not expecting. I appreciate it. We thank God, we thank God. What a blessing. What a blessing, Amen. I would not expect, I'm not expecting this now I'm expecting something different. I'm expecting weeping. What W can be from weeping? Jesus. You see, one day a certain guy was going to do high jump. So he said they should, they should put it there. And he stood back like that, said no, base is higher, is it OK? He said, yeah, this high. So he started, now he ran under the thing. He ran straight under. No, he couldn't jump it. But you see, one thing about Jesus is that he never lowered the high jump for some people. In fact, he always made it so high that you think you would die. He never told you. You want to be my disciple? Don't sell your goods, Keep them. We'll use it for offering. No, go and sell and give it to the poor and come and let's go. Everybody had the same high jump. You cannot lower it for some, raise it for some, lower it for some, raise it for some. So I read it in a book years ago and it's it was a statement with that. He never lowered his standards to wealth so that more people could come. He never lowered the standard to attract people. He kept it high and that caused a certain type of person to follow Jesus Christ. So you see, it won't be lowered for you, Andy, you understand, is it not? Andy, I hope you like me the way I like you. He, he, he will never, never take and change it. You, you when he sees you soon. OK down don't let him jump OK well I look at him say no you you're educational this is so OK up OK you you are a woman you have suffered in life come give you a small 1 like this jump over No everybody had the same and he and he if it was he didn't look as it I'm now going to lower it so that a lot of.
