09. The Purpose Of The Devil

Welcome to track #9 of warnings of purpose. All right, the purpose of the devil, number one, the purpose of the devil is to deceive and disconnect. This one is going to be quick, but I want you to get it because it's very important. Are you there? Are you awake? Are you fresh? Are you sure I'm going to release you soon? But listen. When the serpent entered the grass of the garden and started moving, what did he achieve? He achieved the deception of Adam and Eve and the disconnection of Adam and Eve from God. So the concern about disconnection and be concerned about believing wrong things, it's a warning, OK? Because in the end, Adam and Eve were in the garden and in the end, they were out of the garden. They were with God. And at the end they were not with God. Pastor Andy, I feel like using you and Lilian. You are sitting together as a nice couple. Hold hands. Put your bags down. Hold hands. Hold him like this. No, no. Yes. You're part of us, isn't it? Sit down. You're part of us. And then now come together. Hold hands together. Come the end. The end. This way. And in the end, in the end, in the end, in the end, in the end, you are no more a part of us. That's the aim you look at. Look at their place. Their place is empty. They were part of us and they are not part of us. It's, it's accomplished. It was his aim, his purpose, and he accomplished it perfectly. Everybody look at the two chairs there. Can you see? May it never be in the name of Jesus, and your place will be there. What I'm saying is be consent. That's one of the things that I've made me connected to Bishop Duncan Williams, Reverend Stephen, some of my friends. I just believe because our ministry is far doing so many things. Do you understand? But I've learnt one thing that don't be disconnected. It is a bad thing to be disconnected. It's a principle that I believe in. So I, I, I keep my friendships, the pastors that are that are friends with me, two people that relate with me, Reverend Steve relate with me. Archbishop relates. Archbishop can talk to me for 30 minutes, one hour. I can talk to Reverend Steve for 30 minutes, one hour. He calls me, I call him I, I, I see no reason why I should be disconnected no matter what. I am afraid of disconnection. I know that it is an aim of Satan. So as I sense myself disconnecting, I say it's a bad thing. I don't know why, because my ministry is bigger than some of these things. What do I need that for? That is not the point. That's not the point. It's a negative thing to be disconnected. I'm telling you, no matter who you are, don't be disconnected. Remember what I'm telling you. It's an evil. It's a pep. Satan came to the grass. By the time he was going out, he's finished. The people, they were out of the system. So there's a song, stay connected. You know how to sing that song? Stay connected. To the tree of life, stay connected. To the path of great pride, stay connected.

You got to step, step. So stay connected to the one that's right and keep me eyes on the bride. You got to step step stay connected. Say connection to the one that's right and keep me eyes on the fight. Reach your bottom of the. It's powerful, the purpose and the blessing. The song has explained the point. There is no other explanation again that is needed stay connected and the purpose of the devil is to deceive and disconnect me. So just remember because. This is how. I think you can stay on the narrow path, remember certain things when it is happening, say no, this thing is this particular thing that they talked about without reason, without explanation. I don't want to be the same. That is all. One of the ways that I believe that God has helped me to stay out of certain cases is to. Do. Certain things that have no explanation, but I do them like one of the things that I became confident about was to not to owe as a church, as an individual. And one of the things that I became confident about was to build the churches building. Always. I believe in building. It has made us prosperous, it's true. More. Prosperous but without explanation. But when now I see that it's actually against a case that you will not know. So some of the things God gives you, there's no understanding. Just stay connected. The thing is coming to discourage you know it tells you know something. Thank you for your idea, but I'm sorry, I want to remain connected. Saddam #2 The next purpose of the devil is to gather us to fight with each other. And all of us must read Revelations chapter 20 together. Verse #6 Blessed and the holy is he that has Revelation chapter 20, verse 6. Blessed and holy is he that has. Part in the first resurrection. On such the second death hath no power that they shall be. Priests. Of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him. 1000 years are you there, are you there? You're going home. And when the 1000 years are expired, Satan shall be lose out of his prison, and he shall go out to deceive the nations which are the folk warriors of the earth. Amen to gather them together to battle. The number of whom is at the sand of the sea. Are you there Revelations Chapter 16 verse #13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon. And at the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophets, what are they doing? They are the spirits of devils wrecking miracles which go forth. To do what? Into the whole earth, the whole world To gather them, to gather them to battle of the great day of the God Almighty. I've given you 2 scriptures, Revelation 20. And when Satan is released, he goes to gather people to fight each other. These three spirits that came out of the mouth of the beast, now of the false prophet, mouth of the the dragon. Are also devils, and they also go forth to gather people to fight. This is the purpose of the devil. And if you don't get anything out of this camp, get only this point. If you want to leave all the points and take one point home with you, take this particular point so that the devil will lose a major. Power in your life after this camp because he will lose the power to gather you to fight because look at this group sitting here peacefully 123 and look at this group 12345. What can he do to get these five to fight with these three who are sitting down peacefully or to fight with 12345? Supposing I'm the devil and I come in. I'm not here, then I come in. I need, I need a cap so that you you you see me. Do you have a hat or cap? I love it. When I come, I look at Seville. Look, I know what to do. Paula, come to me. Take your. Take your hat. Come, come, come on. Come on. I'll show you something just now. The black to bring the sunglasses. All right, give me a few minutes. When I read this best I. Decided I would never quarrel with my wife again. It's true. Because when the devil enters a house, he will gather and say, Madam, come Mr. come together playing first round and then right in the middle, and they. Start. You have this, this and that. You have that, this and this and this. When you recognize that whenever there is an invitation. How however indirect? Or subtle you say? I refuse that I will not do this fight. Recently, a certain Orango he contacted me and when he contacted me I realized that he wanted to get into a contention with me because he said that I've written something in a book that it is him. He said that I've written a book about him, but when I get to, I'm going into what are some other aspects, current trends of disloyalty and then responses you must expect. Don't be surprised. In fact, you should respect them. You think I will not use you as an example? I will use you as an example forever. I can give you that promise. Try me. I'll give you. As an example of something not to follow. I'm not afraid of you. Try me and you will see another side. Yes. Amen. Thank you. This was. I should leave it for them. I should. Leave it for them. This is what I want to hear. I want to hear my children saying we are wider than you, Bishop. At your age, you don't have to say such things. Leave it for us. You suck this man out. Yeah, I don't want spaghetti children. Some of you don't know. Spaghetti you do have not been eating. You got it. But when he called me. I said. How do you know that? It is you. I. Didn't mention your. Name I didn't mention your country, I didn't mention your relationship to me, I didn't mention so many things and I didn't misdirected the story into another place. And he said, because in your story you said that you told the persons why the person was going to marry him. I told him not, I told him to marry the person and that in those days, whatever I said, the wife would listen to me. I said, ah, there are so many people in the church who when they were going to marry, they asked me be there as an example, should I marry the person or not? And I say, yes, marry or no, don't marry. I have so many. Examples only you don't. Know I said there. Is nothing strange or nothing unusual. They understand, because I also don't want to embarrass anybody or make any whatever. But when you read, you see that it is you. You see that? It is me and and and in. The in in the Coming Soon books. You even. See somebody? Wait, you even see somebody's name, but you know that it is you. Like maybe the person will be called Christopher. You realize that it is you, Joe. In the book, the president will be Christopher, but you see that it is. You are you there? OK, have an answer as the devil. And I've come and I've come to work. Do you understand? I've seen groups of people. If I can inspire you. He said come, come, come, come. And they are following me too. Come. Come, come back, back, back, back, back, back, back. Devils come attack. They are coming for you. Attack Devil, take them on. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm happy. Is it because I'm a governor succeeding? Yes. Yes, Illy. Silly, silly. Fighting. I'm happy. I'm achieving my aim. I'm achieving. They're fighting. They hate each other. Now. And from now? Don't have anything to do? Walk away. Cast them and walk away from each other. Finish with them. Never. Hey, they were sitting down calmly, calmly. That's why you sometimes you see people have been in the church for years, calmly and suddenly one day. Suddenly I've become. An enemy, suddenly you call me a Ghanaian. When you never. Call. Me a Ghanaian before or now? You call me a Swiss man or you call me a. White man, I never used to be a white man to you. I never used to. Be a Ghana or never. You used to be a South African, but now I'm a Ghanaian, boy, I said, oh, I'm a northerner because S Africans call us northerners. Most of us in West Africa, we are seen as northerners. You never saw me that. Way. Now I'm a Ghanaian to you. Now I'm a white man. Now I'm a half cat, now he's different. But speaking now, can you ask yourself what has caused you to rise up to attack and say, what are you saying? Why are you called? Why? Why are you attacking me? I tell you, when I saw that scripture, when the devil was released, he's been found for 1000 years. Nobody was fighting when he. Was released, war started immediately and people were gathered and started to fight again. So I I am sure of one thing, that fighting and confusion is the greatest symptom of the existence and presence of the devil. Somewhere. That is why you. Must refuse, even though there is a good reason I won't fight. I will not fight. You can stay where you I I don't want to fight. So my friend. My sister, my brother, so that when I look at my pastors and so on, I ask. What have I done against you? I made you a pastor. I gave you an opportunity to work, to have a good degree and eternal work. Whatever courage you to do more. I don't come from a poor family. Even my inheritance alone, My inheritance, even me, my inheritance alone. I thought, it's not about poverty, it's not about money. It's not a church. I'm. Going to use to get and you say that you are now. Fighting me about as if. Me and you are fighting over something. This is wonderful. You are taking me on now. It's the presence. Of a devil. So that is why with you, an individual, I will not fight with you. Where the fighting will come is when you are now attacking the ship of which I am a shepherd. Then I have to protect them as long as you leave them. You see there is a certain guy. He left there. I said be there. People thought because he was my brother-in-law. I was not saying no. You say you have let the church be there as soon as you start to. Tamper with the church. You are changing things. The parameters are you may be my brother-in-law or my brother I will fight with you over. The ship that God has given me. I have to fight with you as a thief. I must treat you like a thief. I must relate with you as a thief. I must fight as I will fight a thief. My response to you must be the response to a thief. Recently a thief. Came to attack one of our churches. He was surprised he died that night. He died because he never expected that response. He never thought. That it can happen. That was a church. It's a. Response. He never thought he. Would die because he came, he saw some girls, he took their bags and he was coming to take their car. Not knowing that there. Were responses there ready? And they responded to him and he died that night instantly. Because he never. Expected that response. And others who were. Fleeing were also shot at. They never expected that calm looking church with just women with holding handbags. They are all armed because these days. Many of us are armed. Many of us are armed, legally armed. Yeah. It's a modern world. It's. A modern world? And you'll be, you see, one was some armed robbers came to a certain guy's house, I think it was in Tema or somewhere, but not knowing that the guy was AUS Marine. I tell you he. Slaughtered them. I don't know how many they were. Two or three he. Slaughtered them in the house like cows. He came to the wrong. House. To attack the. Wrong Shepherd. Oh, you don't understand. What I'm talking about? If you don't like us, you don't want to be with us. You are not supposed to like. Everything. How can everybody like us? God has not designed us to be liked by everyone. You just go and you live like this dinosaur who has gone and taken our shepherds and our members. He should only expect bad. Things in the future. He should He should only expect bad things in the the coming future. He should expect. Only bad things. Because he has caught our. Members. If he doesn't want to be. There fine, even if he's not grateful for whatever we we wherever he is. It doesn't matter if life you are supposed to experience ingratitude. What we are saying the. Work that we are doing. It has to do with sheep that God has given us. We are saying that don't just if you are going, don't take our sheep. As far as we are concerned, you have stolen property in your house, our Members and our grace and everything. So, brothers and sisters. I am sharing with you a very, very important in your personal life in your office. See, they are gathering you and you fight you and you fight. And yes, Doctor Nosh, what? Should make me fight with you. Why? Why should I fight with you? Why? What is the reason to fight with you? It can only be the devil. Because sometimes you see people fight, it's inexplicable, and you ask yourself why you see it makes no sense as you are sitting about in the day that the devil comes. To war, it will make sense. It will make a lot of. Sense to fight. And when you overcome that, you enter into the blessings of God. If if I take somebody. Like Archbishop Duncan William, there are many things that would have made me even fight him. But from the time that. The Holy Spirit, you said we're not allowed to praise the Holy Spirit from the time that the Holy Spirit told. Me how to relate to him? From that time there was nothing that he could do to provoke me. There was nothing that I decided. There was nothing that he could do that would provoke me. Nothing at all. He can do it. I will be with you. You sacked me. You drive me out. I call him, he doesn't. Call me, I call him. I call him I. Call him all the time. I'm checking. How are you? Where are you? I said. Where are you in this world? I said. I'm in Nigeria. And you say one or two words. I was talking to him the other day about certain things that were happening in the system, in the world. And all that he said was all these are judged, not that you'll be not judged. That's all that he said. These ones that you see is judged, not that you'll be not judged. All these are. That, not that. Ye be not that, that's what I said. I said there is. Nothing that and because of that decision, I can't be drawn into this. About what? About there is nothing. Even if he tells me something, I don't agree with it or whatever, he can't draw me into it. I'll just be the cooling. Like that? You cannot, You can't. I don't have because it's not a decision I've taken. So the devil has lost a certain power. And recently the Lord showed me a few things. He showed me some spray. I will not share them with you, but those of you who have some eyes, spiritual eyes, you will see them. The Lord showed me, you see this thing, you see this spiritual. He says it's because of this relationship that this is happening and that is happening. It's true. He showed me this business and I, I myself saw it. I said, wow, you can't get me to that fight. So you have to specifically pick important people that the devil may want you to fight with. And remember in your head, this one is no fighting. Even if he beats me, I won't fight him. That's all. And remember what I told. The opposite of honor is embarrassed. Your father should. Not be embarrassed. Don't embarrass your father. Don't let him be down. Don't let him apologize. He shouldn't apologize. To you for. Anything. If you apologize, there's something wrong. He shouldn't beg you. He shouldn't. Ask you for something, I'm telling you the opposite of honor is embarrassment. I was even telling you though, so I said and when his divorce came and said, I went there and truly when the newspaper came out, I was on the front page with him when he. Was being made an Archbishop. It was also, I think it was something controversial. I went there. I was part of it. All the things look, don't let. Your father be. Embarrassed. Don't let him ask you for something. Don't allow yourself to be thrown into a fight with an important person. How can I bless somebody that I'm fighting? I can only kiss him. You think you cannot kiss your child? Tend to some some 3 and all of you who have Bibles you will see what I'm talking about. Psalm 3 is. A prayer that David read about his child? I don't know. Whether your Bible says so. As it says so at the top there. The son that. Absalom, David prayed when? Absalom was chasing him. The one. Who said don't? Kill my son, look at his prayers, he said. Lord, how have they increased that? How have my adversaries been increased? Many are rising up. Against me and are saying of my soul. There is no deliverance for him in God, That thou, O Lord, hath a shield about. Is it a song that we used to sing? Thou, O Lord, it's a Father singing. It's a father singing his defenses against his child. It's a father who is being. Embarrassed by his son. Who is singing? Thou, O Lord, are a shield about me. You're the glory and the little of my Oh no Ashy, I'm happy you might know and. The late we sing Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we sing. Hallelujah, this is. He is a prayer. Of a father who is being chased by his child, who he named Absalom. He named him at naming. Ceremony he came back to death was funny. Then I said I was crying. Thus far with my voice to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy. Mountain I laid down, and I slept, and I awoke. For the Lord sustains me, I will not be afraid of 10 thousands of people who have set themselves against me, than about arise. O Lord. And save me, Oh my God, for you have smitten all my enemies upon your cheeks. You are shot at. The teeth. Of the wicked witch, witch, witch. Who is this person? It is his own son, his own ordained minister. Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing be upon your people. You see he spoke the prayers in the absence. You are sweating him on the cheek, and you are shot at his teeth. And truly, he was hung by his. When you are hung your cheekbone and shattered his teeth, he's gone. So watch our children. You think your father cannot curse you? Go and read your Bible caref carefully. You'll be surprised that you have rather risen up to attack somebody. Who named you, Who gave you. A name. Change your name made you a person. Pastor call you. Pastor, you will. Never call pastor in the world today you will call pastor. Watch out baby, something is coming to get you. Go and watch Rambo 2, he told the guy. He said Murdock. Murdock, I'm coming to get you. And he squeezed the microphone. That is when the action started in the film. Go and watch it, it's a Mackinac film. Merlo. Merlo, I'm. Coming. To get you. Arise, Oh God. Arise, smite them on their cheeks, shutter their teeth. Whose teeth is it not Absalom teeth? I need to shut it. I'm not afraid of 10. Thousands and thousands of people. Amen. So the purpose of the devil is to get you to fight. Who do you think inspired Absalom? To fight his father. Amen. So next time you see yourself engage in some foolish war, remember that something has LED you past. When I think of the pastor who? Was in Kumasi and I said if I can get him, let me send him to Geneva and I sent him to Geneva today. Such a person is fighting whatever and even the comment that he made about Professor Kakra that he's a liar when? I say he's a liar. I was looking at him. I say wonderful. And you ask? Yourself. That somebody. Who connected you? I called. I called Katra. I said do you have anybody who can speak French? He said. I have Vitalis. He's a good guy. And I said, come now he lives in Switzerland working in the UN, oh, you know, UN that is working UN, United Nations, UN Kumasi, not even Accra. UN Kumasi, you have not even been promoted to Accra. Heavily indebted in. Kumasi, Now suppose you want to fight with somebody. Why choose somebody like me who haven't done anything bad to you? Why do you choose me? No, you shouldn't even choose Kakra. Kakra help you. Kakra mentioned. I didn't know you, so why? Why do you choose? Some people you don't fight with. That's what I'm saying. You must have some policies when it's happening, say, look, this one is one of my policies. I don't fight such people. I don't. Accept it, no matter. Whatever and it's OK, I accept whatever bad thing there isn't, it will be to your benefit. Take it from me. So learn it, you see, pastors, because you see, the day cometh when the devil will come amongst. Us and you say fight with Bishop. I fight with Bishop in TEFL, tell him that he's not, you see. You're not like Bishop. You see, Bishop, you see, you will tell me, but we will be laughing. So as he's doing, he's As for you, you are like this. You are like this, Sir. They will. They will come with a reason. You don't do this. You are like this. That is it, I'm. Telling you be careful because it's not today I'm preaching about. I'm preaching about tomorrow. You see the importance of preaching. Is to remember it at certain times once we are here you all say Amen to my preaching Amen you will say but the kamath a time that is where you see the differences. Amen. Are you there? You are going home? Check your neighbor and ask your neighbor neighbor who have. You chosen to fight. With who have you chosen to fight? So the first aim of the. Purpose of the devil is what? Disconnect. Second purpose of the devil is what Gather no you. Gather. He gathers people together to fight and I've given you 2 scriptures. What are the two scriptures? One is what when? When? Satan. Was what? Released from. 1. 1000 years of imprisonment when he. Came on the earth more. Not as the war started. Gather them fully. If a certain. Devil enters Nigeria. It will gather the east to fight with the north and to fight with the others. When that spirit enters or it gains ascendancy in its power, and they will fight each other. But if that spirit hasn't gained a foothold, they will stay. There. It's like. Liberia, Those of you who watch, I don't know if you. Watch the film I showed on Liberia. I watch with my eyes and I'm going to show. You a film tomorrow how we will respond the responses There's a film in it how do. You respond in the Liberian film you see. The guy, I saw it with my eyes. He cut out the man's heart and he heard that, he said. You say I'm a wicked. Man, I show you that I'm wicked. He. Cut out. And, he said. When you eat your enemy's heart, then it shows that you are powerful. I can show it to Liberia live. Can you? Ask yourself what? Is in Liberia. What will make them go to each other, cut off each other's arms, kill each other and eat each other's hearts? There must be some other. Kind of power that is working. That's why I say that. And when the devil has been released in a in a country, you cannot do anything about it. That's why sometimes you see human effort trying to undo until God declares that country peace, there is nothing that can make that place peaceful. It's evil spirits. Give me some volume on my microphone. Are you there and? What is the? Second scripture, that's what that is. So what 3 spirits like Frost and what were they coming to do? Gather the people to battle? Is it a powerful revelation? So how many? Are not going to quarrel with your. Wife and with your husband again, when you see the when is when you start, You see that he has come to gather us again. He has come to do or to gather us in the house. Gilly. What? Gilly? What do you think? Is it a powerful revelation? It's good for marriage. It's good. For all forms. Of conflict, it would help you to say, hey, this one I rejected #4 #3 The purpose of the devil is this, to deceive people, to fight the church as an institution, to fight the church now. Why do I say that? Because. Because in Revelation. Chapter 20 The battle says that when Satan. Shall be loosed to go out of his. Prison. OK. Are you there? He shall go out to deceive. The nations which are in the four quarters. The number of whom is the sun of the sea. And they went up on the breath of the air of the earth, and compassed the camp of the Saints. They surrounded the camp of the Saints and the camp. Of the Saints is. Where the Saints are living, which is the Church, abounds. The beloved city and fire came down from God and out of the heaven and devoured them. So you'll notice that the devil gathered the people to surround with the camp of the Saints. And so you will notice that Satan. 'S greatest attack is an attack on the church. The church should not be there. The church should not grow. The church should not exist. The church should not be developed. The church should not become what it's supposed to become. It's all against the church. The devil is more against the church than a crusade. The Crusade, Let me tell you in. Relative importance The Church is far. More significant than the importance of the. Crusade. The church is what? God is building. Jesus said I'll build my church. It is. I'll build my singing group, I'll build my crusade ministry, I'll build my breakfast ministry, I'll build my, I'll build my church. And the devil's main aim is to fight the camp of the Saints, which is the Church. Are you still here? So remember what I was sharing with you earlier? Do not make the mistake of having the church as your enemy, because an example of this who has taken our members, our shepherds, is sharing our grades with our people. You get it. We are saying our signboard, everything. He took our signboard to the design. Yeah, but it's all in the books anyway. What he knows is what he will do. What we are saying, fine, no problem. You want to be your own ministry, you not a problem. But leave the people and the church, the building, the things. The church is not for you. The people came to the church knowing it was lighthouse. You said lighthouse, lighthouse, lighthouse, Lighthouse. They came to the thing now. Suddenly you are moving, you want to move with the people and even you want to take the building like some people have done. Some people even take building. They go to court for years. Yes. A. Church in Kumasi. They were in Assemblies of God, I believe one of their big churches. They took the building and formed a big church with it, and they fought them for years. In the end, they won the case and they had to move out of that building. Yeah, it's not for you. You can't have it if you like trying to take. One of our buildings. And that is not for me. That's what. I'm saying I can show you my will if you are interested and you see whether there's any church in it. Neither the. Structure of the Church, nor the mention of the church in any form or fashion. It does not belong. To it does not belong to Bishopsaki either. It's a church we came to build. We are all going to leave that church behind. So just don't tamper with it #4 the purpose of the devil. How many are going to defend the camp of the Saints? Are you going to defend the camp of the? Saints I want. You to love the church. You must love. God's house. Like David, you must value the presence, the fellowship, the beauty and the peace and the stability in the church. You must Like the church, you must love the you see, the Sunday morning, the folk that mean everything to us. You must. Value it you. Must treasure it. And I'm telling you, those of you who have planted, you know how difficult it is to gather 20 people. 20 people, so if you. Have taken 15 shepherds, 15 out of 18 shepherds. You have taken 15 shepherds. Not even members. You have taken them to follow you. You've talked to them and they've left and they've gone. Should we sit down quietly and say, praise be to God? We shall say, Arise, O God, shutter, shutter the teeth, smite them on the cheekbone. That's why David called himself the. Anointed Psalmist. The sweet psalmist of Israel, the anointed. Under the spirit of inspiration, he wrote up this how to fight with sons that rise up against their fathers to chase them. Amen. Number. 4 The purpose of the devil is. To deceive people to take on the economic mark of the beast. And I saw and beheld another beast, and he deceived them that are on the earth which have the power in the sight of the beast, saying to them, they should make an image to the beast. Amen. And he has power to give. Life that the image should speak, and that no man should buy or sell save he that had the mark and he cussed all small and. Great rich and poor. Free and bound to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead. And no man shall buy, sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the piece, or the number of his name. Now that is an. Economic Mark. Is a. Mark of economics. Violence. Selling is not becoming. Rich, it's just normal trading life. Satan's Mark. Is the mark where everything is done for money. In as much as you may think that one. Day they are going to come with a brand and put a computer sign on everybody. The real spiritual mark is a person who works for money is the real mark of the devil in the. Church if I'm in. The church doing. What I'm doing for money then there's something wrong now instead of people working for. God, people work for money. The opposite of God is not the devil, according to Jesus, it's Mammon. Amen. It is that you cannot serve God. Or Satan he says you cannot serve God or mammon. Jesus never said anything as stands I'm surprised people say he says tough more about money than anything else. Then let. Me also bring my own. That Jesus never said anything good about money. He called money unrighteous, mammon unrighteous or an evil thing. Jesus said it is something that makes people not enter the Kingdom. The more they have, the less they can enter the Kingdom. Hardly. Shall somebody who? Has more of it be able to enter that? Is the mark to buy. To sell, to trade, to do anything you. Have to have the mark. And it's an economic mark, I read in Rejoined's book, he said. It is an economic mark. So you must be. Careful, are you listening to me as our lives are marked by the need to buy and sell and trade. All that your life. Has been defined by marked by is the need to buy and sell and trade and get money and do. This has guided your whole life and has marked and stumped everything about you. Colour everything that you do. Is the need for money and that is why we can send people. To Dunco Chrome because our. Ministry is not marked by that stamp of the need to buy and sell and get money is what is characterizing our missions then. All our missions will be in. America, ah. How I'll be sending you to America. And I'll send more and more. I'll use the missionary visa that they give to take more, more people to be missionaries in America because my whole ministry is marked by the need to get money. How many would like to be in American mission? Thousand churches in America. And the only thing I mean, why haven't we done that? Because we are not being guided by money, I hope. Amen. When we go. To Nigeria to have. Crusade. Are we going to get the last crusade we had in Icaria? We spent about $200,000 and the offering was about $17,000, millions and millions and millions. When we divided, it was about $17,000. Did we go to get money? We didn't go to get money. So may your ministry never be marketed by money. When Pastor Collins went to Guyana, I don't think it was because of money. A ministry that is stamped. By the need to get money cannot be at most of the places, it has to be most of the. Places where they are sold. There is no buying and selling there. What guided your life? Most of us were abroad. What? What we took you abroad stand. Stand. Stand what? Made you go to England money Bishop so your life is marked by the need to get money it's governed marked and as soon as we see you remember while you are here basically for money and oh he wants all of. Us to be like that. That's why he didn't. Want me to stay in Canada? But I was like, you can't survive, you will not this, you will not this. That's why I sent my. Childhood. To be a founder of a school. Because I know I cannot afford. This and I cannot afford this, so this is what I cannot. In order to be there, I'm not afraid of it. I will be there. I will not be driven around by money and attracted by money. Amen. My book have the mark of money is off my book. That's how my I can I can share a book like that easy. My book has gone to so many places those who who book has to be profits. They cannot do it. When I give, I don't have any feeling. If I give thousand books I don't have, I don't. Yeah, my money is getting. I don't have anything like that. There's nothing like. That God disconnected it from money. Getting money. It has nothing to do with getting money. And every aspect. Book writing preaching pastoring mission can be marked by the presence and absence of always is characterized by whether. Money is there or not. It's a mark. I'm telling you, and he deceives everybody to do things only for money. And he deceives everybody. If there is no money and it's not good, don't go, don't do. One guy came to play, play. From America, How many? $1000 Did he want to play? For them so. Fantastic amount that he will. Play is this how much in the church? So you play for money? One Jongjiang went to have a programme in the country. Whilst they were having a programme, one of the board members, they had a board member at that time, he was from Nigeria and this board member went and spoke to the assistant pastor of the church and asked the assistant pastor how much do they pay you in this church and the assistant? Pastor said. This how much they pay and he said I will give you this amount, come and work for me. And he caused a big problem and a big embarrassment to Yongichu and that's when they were and the pastor too took it. He took it. And he followed him. It fell into an airborne, yeah. Because if they can give you offer you. Money to move your ministry. Your ministry is backed by these beasts. You deceive that, oh great and small. Big and whatever that everything they do should be characterized by money. The need for money, the the the the the necessity of money and the gain of money, I tell you. And in one second the. Whole of full time ministry can be characterized by that it will be just salary. How much this, this, this that. All of you can be full time tomorrow. Yeah, you. Just how much is it? How much? Do they give you stand, stand? How much do they give you in Geneva? You mentioned so if they give you 2003 thousand, OK, we give you 4000. That's all. That's full time ministry and so the whole ministry will. Just die instantly. Almost everybody in Futan ministry will be out. And all new characters will get will have some few, about 15 people everybody. Mentioned how much they. Pay you as a radiologist that you mentioned and so we ask thousand to come and work for the lawn rather when you come, we say we give you this can you? You can't go bye bye. To remove that stamp and. That's you see the. Difference between lay pastor and full time is the stamp that Mark is on the lay pastors. So lay pastors are where they are because of money or it's not true. It's not true. If it's not true, then. Come if it's not true, come after. The service don't go and say Bishop. Said that the. Mark of the Devil is on the lay pastors. You are, you are. You are a stupid fool. You understand why? Damn. Fool, and I'm kissing you in advance. Because I didn't say. That I'm explaining something to. You that you must understand. When they said that the mark of a. Devil is on, on, on, on late passes swine. You must be a swine. Are you not that swine? All your decisions not being based on. Money. I mean, the major reasons of your life is, you know, because you're, because you're going to America. What is the reason? Harden money and education Any any questions for him? Money and education. Harden excuse. Excuse this please. You say what money followed by education, and education is for what? For more money. Now you stand up. I'm showing you a difference. Who? This is a doctor. Why are you? In. Full time means. Why do you leave your hospital? You get money. Did you leave your hospital? For what? Why did you leave your hospital? Not for money. Did you lose money by leaving your hospital or not? You lost. Did you gain money by going to America? Pardon, I cannot. Hear you, I cannot hear you. Yes, a lot. Yes. Did you lose money? A lot. You also lost a lot, yes. Are you still do it? Yes. So it's not because of money that you're doing it? No. Is it because of money you're doing it? Yes. So he's a pastor. He's a pastor. His ministry is stamped. By the. Need for money and. The desire and intention to get money and his is has that not that and accept even that he will lose is a difference and Satan wants to deceive all of us to do only things when there's benefits from from money. If there's nothing to get, forget it. That's why I say lay pastors. God bless you for your volunteer services. We are not going to pay you a dime for transportation for days, for days, for days. For this you want to be in Putain ministry. I will help you to be in full time. Don't worry, I will help you. I will show you the way that we pass. It's a footpath. You leave your shoe. You pass here and you go. There's no car there. Do you understand that? You cannot. When we when you do that, you spoil everything will be only. Because of all the. Queristers. Look, one day I went to a chair, the Bishop. Of the chair told me, look, all these people are pinned queristers instrumentally, those who sign this, those who do whatever it's something I've seen everybody and you see the church taking in millions of of whatever offering and everything shared. For instance, this the everybody is paid to be. There because it starts. That way until everybody has has to get something, it's not something that they told me something. I know even I became like a consultant in the church to help them. Everybody is. They all work some well. This one works at this. Bank, this one works at this bank this one works here this and they take the money to come transport, to come for rehearsal, to go here to do everybody you see about. 200 new one officially just. One or two or three people are employees. All are unofficial volunteers. So if you try. To convert your land ministry illegally into full time, We'll smash you. We smash. You expect to be smashed? If you want to be in full time ministry. Come and we'll help you. And you see, the earlier you start something, the easier. It is I see when you are a big. Man, you see, if I say somebody like Doctor Nosh, he's a big man at where he is. If he comes into vote time ministry now he is going to start at the bottom of the ladder where everything starts. If I go, if I go into medicine, where will I start? Because. He has been developing since. I finished 1989 tenth of March 1989. I have not developed it at all. So if I'm going back into medicine, I'm going to start as a. House officer right at the bottom of that, no matter my age, because I have not taken that aspect of my career seriously for all these 20. Years I have to go and. Start right where it starts. So I started at the age of 25. I started my ministry. I'm almost 50 now. So all this this is. What I've been doing? You are doing, it's also almost 50 and you have developed. Medicare. Or whatever, if you are now coming, when do you? Think you are going to start. I also when I look at it, I will also not come and enjoy medicine now because I will now start driving that 22 doors car that you are driving and I may not, I may. Not want to be at that position now. When Pastor NIA Jadu came to. Work in the chair his salary that he earned from Ashanti Goldfield was the tithe that he used to pay when he used to pay tithe his tithe that he used to pay became his salary and he said he wanted it he said he. Wanted. That's what he wanted. And he one day they were. Interviewing people, he told the people. He said, listen, let's take it from me, it's not a joke when we say that your salary. No, your tie will. Become your salary. It's not a joke. There's a lot of things around. Here, not jokes, but that's what he wants. He's happy, he's blessed. He feels I want to do this work. You do it. But I see some of you waited so long it's going. To be triple. Jump high, jump distance. You're already grey haired old man. And you are now. Coming to start at. The bottom of the ladder. It may be better for you to continue. Peacefully along your lay tracks. Faithfully. Joyfully. You don't understand what I'm saying. Better for you to. Continue peacefully on your lay tracks. You come and. Disturb yourself saying. You are coming to vote. You wanted to be a layman and to offer your volunteer services. Great. You want to change it now to make it another form of employment. We will smash you. Take it from me, we will smash you. I really you see you people instead of sympathizing with whatever you have said, Bishop, leave it to smash. We leave it to us to smash them. I am saying smash your all spaghetti people. Hey, Bishop is here. Whatever. You shall said. We shall leave it to us. We will smash them for you. They are. All the people. That is why I'm. Looking at me like. That you don't understand what I'm saying? No, you understand what I'm saying exactly and fully. You see, I've seen the spaghetti. Is it true? It's not true. It's true. Steve, it's true. Steve, have you not had me, Bishop my full time this for years and years? Excuse me? Have you not had? Yes. And yes, tell me. Yes, Bishop, Yes. And it's not something that. You have felt that you have the gift for, isn't it? Yes, Bishop, Yes. So if next year the gift comes. Do you understand when you enter? Which level do you? Expect to start when Oko Botedo, who since he left USD, has done nothing else but to give himself only to this way. Why should you come? Because you are in London? You should be above him. You want us to destroy him so that he will sit in a system and people will now start to say what is the use of me being faithful all this year? What is the use of well when this person comes from whatever he is made this? When this person. Comes then. You are now all those who are giving their life, their life. Fools. Should I do that to them? No. No, Bishop, I don't think. I should do that. It's not equitos. You have your. Life is marked by money, getting of money, acquiring more money, saving yourself lay pastors, securing yourself, living long, having security. So some of you even. Become jealous when you see those of us who claim that that is not what we are after, who seem to be getting those things that you are actually looking for. It looks odd. It's you. It looks odd me that I say. That it's not what I do or whatever, then it's like rather seem to have some of these things. More than you seem to have. And then you begin to be jealous and you even wonder. Yeah. But that's what I'm saying. Don't allow the devil. To gather you to fight with me, I must be the last person. That you fight. And my representatives, you actually should be my representative. I don't know why I'm even tell. None of you is offering to smash anyone now. There are no smashes here. When the message gets to a certain area, all the smashes are finished. I'm left with spaghetti arrows Thalia pastes instead of rising up to say Bishop this. Matter is past. It's a past. Issue. They are all sitting. Down looking at me. Amen. People don't want me to say what I'm saying, but I'm saying all your decisions are. Characterized by money. And the devil has deceived you for? Your whole life. To be characterized. By money, it's true of all life is characterized by the. Need for money? This money, money, money. Money. Everything. Yeah, For buying and selling. He deceived you to take that characteristic, that image, that picture, that mark, that picture. That only money guides you. Only security guides you. It's true. You see, you don't have to be and. A few minutes. Ago in the afternoon. The messages were in your favour if your gift. The time comes later if your gift is pigeon this you are clapping. You are saying, oh Bishop, you are father you are father you are this you are whatever you are saying so many nice things about me in the afternoon. Now that we have come to this part, now that we have come to this away I'm. Also telling you the truth that. The things you are doing is you're not being characterized by the need for money and money. Has guided most of the things you are doing. Why, why why? Why is it that at this point? You are turning against me in your heart. You have to. You see, if I don't stay this side, I'm. Not being realistic with you that when I go to my room I will say it about you in the room. I'm saying about you, all those guys, they are just looking for money. Don't mind them. No, I'm. Brother, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not teaching. You and showing you that that's how you are. So just pray every day for mercy, for forgiveness when? Going away, please. What did I tell you to pray? Come, come. What I told you to pray something? What did I tell you? What did I tell you to? He was. He was walking away from me. Walking, I beg you to come. We really need you. And he went away. But what did I tell you to pray? The Bishop asked me to. Pray for mercy so that God would show me mercy. Yeah, just pray for mercy all the time. It's not that what you are doing. I should say is another thing. No, it is that, but we pray mercy, the Holy Spirit, the grace of God, the will of God, efficiency one night the mystery of his you be praying, but don't say, don't turn it into righteousness. Don't say the bad thing. Is a good thing. No, no, no. But be praying for me. The Lord lecture will be done. Have missed your mission. But don't say that it's not because of money that you went to or where you are. When I call you now, I will give you possessing all of you. Kisangani, Mulu Mumbashi here. Here I will share all of Africa, Brazil all the time. Major man, I will share. All of you to go, you will not go. Even a veteran pastor. Yes, he has been a drama and Asha he has been a missionary to what I when I mentioned the word he changed the topic. The first lady something we are happy. About her Visit this. And that and that and so on. By. Expecting the first lady for daughter and other things. No, all I'm saying is that when it comes to this and be. Praying for me, but don't say that. It is not. But I send you now. You won't go. You can't go. You are afraid. Are you not afraid? Wow, Is it not amazing? That's. When God blesses me, I don't even know. What to do? Because sometimes I cannot even share it with you. Because you, you, you, you may not be so happy because you'll be thinking, say this guy, he says he's dying for Christ. He guy is dying for Christ. The dying seem to be another thing altogether. It's mysterious. So pray for mercy. Pray for mercy. Don't say that when we go. Don't say you just say that. We are mark of the devil. You are, you are what? Swine, Swine. You just a swine. Smash, hold the face, terminate, erase. Some of you have not been watching. Enough films you need to. Watch certain McKenna films. How to smash an orangutan. Hold the header. Must watch movies. Are you there? Sit, down. Sit. I can't finish you. #5 The purpose of the devil is to. Deceive people to take up the characteristics of ordinary men. Because it all. Both small and Greek rich. And poor, free and born to receive a. Mark in their right hand, that no man might by himself save he that had the mark or the name or the number. Here is wisdom. Listen, here is wisdom. Let him that. Had understanding count the number of the beasts, for it is the number of a man. It is the number of what a man. Is the man's number man's number? Man? How man is it makes everybody behave like a man. An ultimate man, A just an ordinary man. Where's Duke? I need Duke. If Duke rises up. Now come. And where's your wife? A wife comes wife. Come wife. Comes this Duke. I won't bother to tell you how much money he earns every month. Come, my dear wife, and his dear wife also comes. And now let me ask you something. Hold his wife and tell your wife. We are going to live in Liberia where? In Liberia, Banga. Banga. Do you know Banga North? Will you say that? He's an ordinary man. He lives in Where do you Live? Geneva. Wow. Why do you work? WHO? What is WHO? World Health Organization. Where do you work? World Health Organization. Wow, UN. Currency in hundreds or thousands? No, it's just a question. You don't have to say any amount. I'm just. It's your salary. Many of us, our salaries in hundreds. Your salary in thousands or hundreds, Thousands. What about you? Do you earn in hundreds or thousands? Thousands. No, not thousands, thousands or hundreds with S. Thousands. You earn hundreds. Or thousands. Thousands. Like if these two people come now. And they said that they are going to Zwedru. There's a place on. Zwedru in Liberia. You've lived in Liberia, do you know? These places? No. I. Don't you don't know them? I'll show you where. Come, let me show you. Come. Hello. OK. All right. This is where you know, isn't it Monrovia? You know where Kenema. How about these places? Buchanan. Same thing. Hapa. Don't know Hapa. OK, Supposing I send you there, Do you think they will be ordinary people? Will a normal man. You are any what? Hundreds or thousands? Thousands. An ordinary person cannot. Do that I mean just when I say ordinary like just. Normal, not personal. Just normal. Normal, normal, normal. What do you think? So he deceives. Everybody to be just. An ordinary man. Not devilish, just not a man. It's the number of a man. He deceives everybody to just be ordinary like a man. You people, I'm preaching revelation to you. Look at it very carefully. Deceive everybody to have a number, and that's the number of a man just to be a normal man if you've got to be in the ministry. To go above what a? Normal man is. Yeah, it's not that at all. Definitely. Sure, Satanic, it's just normal. Why? Why you are earning the thousands and your wife is also earning the thousands. What do you think? Are you seeing that there's a higher? Level than the ordinary man. Level. And most of the world is received to be an ordinary man. He's not a satanic man. He's an ordinary man. Amen. Are you there or you are not there? Yeah, but I want. To be about an ordinary man, I want to be able to go. Where he says I should go, I want to be able to do what he says I should do. And even when I look at my life, I'm a supernatural. It's supernatural because I went above what an ordinary man does many years ago, and he set me on a road that's difficult to reverse. Amen. Thank you. Ordinary man and ordinary. Lady. We are blessed. Number six, the purpose of the devil is to. Persuade you to fight a foolish battle which will destroy you. Listen to this. Oh, perhaps if you leave this time to. Listen to this. But I will, I will just read it in First Kings 22 it says. And the Lord said, Who shall persuade? Ahab that he may go up and fall at. Ramoth, Gilead. And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. I will persuade him to go to fight at. Ramot Gilead, he's going to die there. There. Came forth what? The Spirit and. Said aye, I will go and persuade him, Hey, has the spirit been sent to you to persuade? You to come and fight. Something that will only destroy you. Huh. God knew that from He wanted him to die, but we. Needed somebody to persuade him to go and fight. When you read the story, see how he decided to go and fight. He disguised himself and everything. Go and fight a foolish wolf and that was the end of him. How many have decided? That you will not allow the devil. To lead you to. Fight any foolish fight Decided, decided, decided with all. Your heart because. You'll be tempted to fight me and some of the principles that we have because some of you don't understand it. Some of you think you understand, you don't understand it fully. Some of you don't agree with what I'm saying fully. I can even see from your responses, that's what I think. That's what I think. That's my personal. Opinion. Some of you don't. You don't. Think so? Why should we go? We should be giving some transport alarms. We should do this. We should. You don't even understand it. That's why you probably are misplaced. And I'm telling you that we are not practicing that thing here. If you want to be in the ministry, please, there is a way you pass through to be in the ministry if you will get the chance. And you may have thought that a lot of people want to. It's not true. So many of you are inviting, inviting, inviting, but few people come. And at the point there's not anything for you to do anyway. Go to Methodist State or Anglican and see if there's any job for. You. There's nothing to do there. It's a privilege, I say. I say what privilege? Who will go and pass with it, and the spirits to that. How many have noticed different examples? The three spirits that came out, go and gather them. The second came out. Go and gather them. This spirit said I won't bring Ahab. You come and fight. By next week, you see his. Fights in here will you fight mercy? How many points do you have #7 The purpose of the devil is to deceive. You to yield to your flesh. Command this stone to be made bread. Oh. Bread and butter #8 The purpose of the devil is to deceive you, to take short cuts, the devil said to him. All this. Power. I will give to thee and the glory of Him, for that it is delivered unto me. If thou therefore will worship me, all shall be dying. No cross, no struggles with Pharisees, just bow down and. You are in full time ministry. It's the shortest way to achieve your You came to save the world, isn't it? I'll give the whole world just bow down now, bow down now and then all those things are over, hey? Shortcut to where? Where do you want? To be in full time. Ministry without giving your all. You want to be able to keep up and Jesus told the rich man, when he came to him, he said go and sell what you have and give it to the poor and come and follow me like everybody else. But you don't want to do that and the Master have. Done this and. The while he went away sorrow it because great riches had he not everybody can enter and don't fight with it. Don't try to change it. Don't try to bring your own Jesus to today's Christian. We would have just joined for Peter. We are now 13. This is a rich man. Assessed a financier, make him a accountant of the ministry, Jesus said go and sell it. We all have nothing. We. Have all given up everything. If any man lose lose his life, he will gain it. If he gains his life, he will lose it. So go and lose your life so that we are all together. We have all lost our life. You don't want to lose your life, you don't want to give up, you don't want to lose, but you want to join the people who have lost everything to work together in the same fellowship with them when you are not there. You want to take a shorter way to earn everything and to achieve what you cannot achieve by a short way. We will fight well, smash you as. Long as God gives. Us the power and the strength. If Jesus was so desperate to get people, he would have told. This guy, you are in, you are in. But he said go and sell it and give it to the poor. We all came with nothing. When I came into the ministry, I had nothing. Bishop Saki had nothing, Bishop Eddie had nothing. We had nothing. I came in with nothing. Potentially I could have had something. I. Had nothing and I. Entered. And I've been in this work. You want to just come? With everything that you have and you want to still have. That's why I told him Temple. I said my. Friend, you will lose some. Even OB who is in Kenya when I first. Sent him to South Africa. He realized that he would lose. He was not prepared, so I left him. God himself convicted him. Then he realized that he would have to lose something in order to come, and he lost something. So it's not free for him to come. He's a bow down quickly. Now, and the whole world is sworn. Just today there will be no struggle in this world. And if he had done that, he would have lost. You may not like what I'm saying and I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I'm reading the temptation to you. It's always a temptation to have a shorter way. Those pastors in Zurich, they think we are collecting money to ask whatever as percentage or whatever, and they look at the church. You think you can have a quick start in, Everybody will be following you. It's not like that. It's not like there's nothing like that anywhere in the world. No, there's nothing like that. It doesn't happen that way. Are you with me? Yeah. You don't know what it means what people have done to be in this work that they are doing. You just rise up and you start to imagine things. You're joking. You don't understand what it. Means to be in the ministry. You don't know what it means for us to be here. You know what it means. Me, I never thought today I see my children in the university. I thought that my children would never even be able to go to university. I thought they would never be able to even to be. Educated. I'm surprised. At me that he was must have got a son who is in a medical school. Never did I dream it. I thought I knew as I had given myself to the Lord, that even I've actually sacrificed my children. Also I knew all. These things that I'm seeing, they're all even things I never. Expected. I'll tell you the. Truth that I know, you may not even believe you know. Bishop, this this one. So it's not a problem. There are some things I don't want to say this evening because I will become emotional. Yes, you don't know what it. Means to be in the ministry. And everybody here must appreciate what it is when Prophet Katra came into the ministry. He let everything. And he came, he bought a photocopier and started making photocopies to live. That is how he lived. Photocopier and I told. Him we cannot. Pay, he said. Look, he feels that something terrible will happen to him if he does not enter the ministry now. So he's going to use a photocopier he bought an educated person who has been to university. For certain good years, he bought a photocopier machine to make photocopies for students. That is what he used to live for so many months to be in this work that he's doing today. You get up, you see somebody driving a Land Cruiser, you think you just get up and just be somewhere. It's not like that. It's not like that in your workplace. It's not like that. You don't just get up and be the head of something. There's nothing that goes that way. Why do you want to suddenly just circumvent everything? Just become something that you are not. You are. Sick and there's a demon in your mind? I'm telling you, you don't know what people have done to me to doing this work that. They are doing, you have been doing other things. For the last 20 years. Carry on and it faithfully. And be blessed as where you. Are I don't just try to say I myself, I'm wise enough to know that I'm not going to try to apply to Kolebutu go and start working there now. I'll not make that mistake. Because I don't want to. Do that. It's not even a mistake, but it's not my calling. But if I suddenly decide I have to accept that I'm going to start from Ground Zero. You don't know what price people have paid that you see them at. Standing at different, there is nobody who has not paid the price. Our children, my daughter goes to school, they start. She suffers because she's my daughter. My children go. My son, they whip him in the night, weep him and beat him with lashes. He said your past, your father is a pastor, your father is a thief. Bishop Azhenazai, on his 50th or whatever birthday, his children, every child said that the only thing that we have suffered, that we have experienced is that our father is a thief. That's all that we have heard throughout our childhood, that your father is a thief. Your father is a thief. Your father is a thief in. School they have had. It and had it and had it and had it and had it. This is what our children experienced. Your children here that you. Work at the United Nations. Your children are great. They are speaking with foreign accents. Our children have been told your father is a thief. Every day, everywhere they are. My child is beating, beating and raped in the school. And say your father, stand here and pray for us. God, your father is a pastor. Pray for us as we learn. Here's what our children have been through for us to be in the ministry. You just get up, you suddenly you think that it's just something that we are just arriving there. You don't know what is involved. That is why cases come on people you start to fight, you don't know. What you are fighting, you don't even know what you are attaching, you don't know what it. Means for us to be in this work for 20. Years, our children have been told. Your father is a thief. We live at places we drive type of cars we. Handle our lives in a certain way to be doing this work still. You don't know. Suddenly you want to switch and not. Pass through and that's Jesus. When the devil came to you said I know this thing, I should just pass here quickly and it will be whatever. There's nothing like that. There's nothing that will be quick and easy and certain. If you don't know, I am informing you today. When I read that story, Bishop and Ajinasaris. Birthday Magazine 50 years or I don't know how many years, each of the children will say all that we have had since we were born, like our father is a thief, Your father is a thief. They come to school, your father is a thief. When my daughter went to Wesley Gale straight away Bishop that he was no child like that throughout all the time they start, they say white girl has come, suddenly you are white, suddenly you are not Ghanaian, suddenly you are not black man, suddenly you are different and the the torture you and Mistit you. Because your father is new. Difference to the quality. Your daughter, your child, your son, your. This, this and that. You, you come just now suddenly. So I'm switching from whatever I'm taking rent from to pay this and that. That is why you see, I'll tell you some of the things because of. The place. That I stand. There are certain. Things if I say it will happen to you. It will happen like video I'm. Telling you so watch out #9 we are preaching and smashing. #9. The purpose of a. Devil is to deceive you, to misuse, underuse, abuse, overuse your pastoral authority. Amen. He said if you be the Son of God, cast thyself down. Don't allow the devil. To mislead you to. Misuse that reverend title that we gave you for people to follow you to something foolish. Cast thyself, because you are. Anointed cast yourself, you will be flying he. Says we don't use the power like that. We can't just use our power anyhow. Has misused the power. That we gave him as a. Carpenter that we ordained, is he an ordained minister? A Carpenter that we ordained is misused. His misappropriated his powers to lead people away. You have hired him as a stand up. You've hired him as what? I hired him. As a Carpenter, I hide when we were building off As a Carpenter, I. Hired him to to come and work I. Hired him as a Carpenter. Yeah, I hide. Him here. And that's how we got to. Know him? Yes, I came to the church. When we were doing the earlier on. We were carpenters. And I hired him to come and work as a Carpenter. And we've made you a pass and. Obtain you as a Reverend Minister. With us, I'm telling you, in society, how many carpenters will be admitted even we as passes, we are not even ordinary passes in the sense that we are even. Doctors and highly educated lawyers and what have you and a person who is a Carpenter, we've employed you to come and. Mail some wood here and there. We don't despise you, we rather say you are as good as us. We don't see any difference between you and us. We ordain you. As a make you a pasta and then ordain you Now you are misusing cast yourself down. You are misusing your powers when they suggest no, you do. Do you think we will not respond, Pastor Jude? We will not respond. So, Mr. Spawn, preaching and smashing, tell somebody preaching and smashing. You see, I'm surprised that Tanos. Has remembered employing him. As a Carpenter. Because when I say, you may think I'm maybe saying something derogatory, you know, But here he says, oh, I employed him as a Carpenter. And gradually we have to encourage you all the. Way now you are Reverend Minister. Then they say cast yourself down, use your powers for us to see. Then you jump. #10. Wow, we have almost finished the purpose of the. Devil is to deceive you to avoid sacrificing. Your whole life and to give God just a part of everything. Just a part. Amen. Then Peter took. Him aside and began to rebuke him, saying be. Far from thee, Lord, this shall not be unto thee, but he tell us that to Peter get thee behind. Me, Satan. Thou art an offence unto me. Amen. For thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Amen. Who did not want him to sacrifice everything Satan? So Satan doesn't. Want you to sacrifice everything. Is it not Bible study we are doing Satan? You don't want you to sacrifice every. Sacrifice, but don't sacrifice. All if I tell you that the devil is not making you sacrifice everything as a lay pastor, don't go out and say that I said the devil is in is in you. I should leave it with you. Are we preaching and smashing? Amen. So it's a blessing and we thank the Lord. Is it the right thing? But I believe God has blessed her. How many points do you have? OK, it's enough. Amen. Are you done? What are you going to smash with your song? How many have understood what the purpose of the devil is? Very bad, isn't it? And it's very deceptive, isn't it? You see that it's like this, like this. You can't see what he's doing. Very wicked. There are some things that I'm proud of when when I say I'm proud. Of I'm saying that I'm. Glad about because I see that if I take Archbishop Duncan Williams that he was saying, you know on his birthday this year he invited me to come he had a a party in a restaurant and I was late when I got there the whole. Place was for everybody, and he was. Sitting down here. And he had once the high table. There were only six people. On the high table, himself, his wife. And then two places. He had reserved for me and my wife. He said sit by me on the high table here. You see it's that revelation that God gave me wasn't even this one, but the revelation that just relate with this person. Whatever, it ended all beasts because I've had issues with him. I've had different different different things. I can't even bother. To go into all that. I see. God, that's my. And you see, I sensed certain. Blessings and anointings even coming normal, I would not have come. Amen. Are you there or you've gone home? Let today mark the end of certain conflicts. In your life, in the name of Jesus, know the relationship that are for life. Know what means something important to you. Grow up and be spiritual and learn it. Tell yourself, ceasefire, ceasefire. The devil has. Gathered us to fight. We shall not fight. Devil has. Gathered us, you and me. Let's fight. Two of us 3. Of us, four of us. No, we shall not fight. Be there. The issue that you say after, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about it. I accept. Everything. Bye bye, Amen. Is it a good idea? Good idea. Stand on your feet, let me just pray with you before we close. Let your hands up. Just pray for yourself that you will never be deceived by the devil. The. Father, we thank you for this great privilege. Rendered unto us in Jesus name, we pray for deliverance from the deceptions. Of the of the devil. To take shorter cuts to fight battles that are useless to be LED into conflict. That will kill us. For the above all to be gathered. We refuse to be. Gathered by a devil. To be in conflict with. Anything or anyone, we thank you for your blessing. We pray for your great grace to. Fall upon this church. To accomplish your will in Jesus name, Amen. Sit down. All right. Take out Take out your final offering for the. Night Take out your final offering for today. Normally when you go to church you have 45 minute sermon. You take two offerings. We are here for hours and hours and hours. This is the. Second time we are taking an. Offering. Amen. Is it not true? Yeah, we are here for hours and hours and about 14 Sundays have passed. About 14 Sundays have passed. Yeah. All right, look, I want you to give a good offering. All our offerings are going to help our crusading offer in Nigeria. Amen. Take out notes. Don't use. Coins at the camp please. So that our offering will be a bit substantial. Try to be generous. Don't think that whether you give or don't give it do not make a difference. It makes a difference. Whatever you give it makes a difference. Lift it up and let's pray, Father. What a blessing it is. We thank you for this great opportunity to give an offering today in the name of Jesus Christ. Thanks for this great blessing. We love you as we give this offering to you in Jesus name. Amen. Ashes receive the offering, Paula. As each day passes by. I feel my love run dry. I get so weary, warm and tossed round in the storm. See, I'm blind to all these and I'm tired of planting. I seem to have a way so many thoughts about myself. I want to. I need to involve my children. I want to and I need to involve our father. 'S will was done. By giving us love, you hate the highest part to point us to the broad. And when I think of him taking up the whole world, I take one look at me compared to what I'm called to be. I want to. I need to be more like Jesus. I want to, I need to be more. Remember that there's no greater love. Not too late on a life for a friend. The end of all my prayer. Is to care like my Lord care my one and only goal, His image in my soul. Still my weakness is with me, but by his tribes I'm here. It's faithful and it's. True. To complete the work. He begins. In you Oh, I want to I need to involve life chooser. I want to and I need to be more than light. Remember that there's no greater love not too late on a night. There's no greater love.
