09. The Word Of My Patience - The Commandment To Bear Fruit

Welcome to track #9 of the word of my patience. Chapter 2 The word of my patience. The word of my patience is the is the call of God. Any kind of calling is the word of my patience because it needs a lot of patience #2 the word of my, the the commandment to bear fruit is a word of my patience. This is chapter 2. Now I've moved from the call of God to the commandment to bear fruit. I've given you examples of the the call of God, but now I'm giving you an example of what of what the commandment to bear fruits. Amen. Are you listening to me, John 15-6 I have you have not chosen me. I have chosen you 1516 all right. And that you should, that your fruit should remain. Now in Luke 13 Vambo said he spake also this pair, But said the man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sucked root there, and found none. Then he said to the dresser of this vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this tree, I find none. Cut it down while cambereth in the ground. And he answering, said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it and dung it. If a bear fruit, well and if not then after that thou shalt cut it down. So you can see that a tree was not able to bear fruit for three years and after three years they gave it one more year, 4 solid years, no fruits. I mean, it was after four years, as they said, when we tried some extra manoeuvres with some dung and some special, what do you call it, fertilizers, than glory be to God, if after four years of still preaching and preaching and preaching there's no fruit, then we can see that the fruits are not trying to come. What do you think? There's nothing that comes quickly about bearing fruit. If you talk about children, I mean an elephant, it's a pregnant for two years before it will give birth, you know, are you listening to me? An elephant be pregnant for about two years before 8:00? Well, give birth, something like that, I think, you know. So I mean, you can't just bear fruit when you are born. You know, it takes a long time. So many things have to be matured and you matured. So sometimes when you go, some of you, you may be spiritually a woman who has not yet reached menstruation of monarchy. Is that the right word? Puberty. What is monarchy? It's the monarchy. But you have not yet reached puberty. OK. You have not yet reached puberty. Your organs are not developed. You see the hormones are not yet working, you see, and you want to give birth right now. It's not going to work. So you can see that that God says that you have go forth. I've chosen you to go and bear fruit. That chosen you as a is true, but that thing chosen to bear fruit is a word of my patience because it's something that fruit bearing, not something that just happens. I mean, when you are born as a woman, you are born to bear fruits. That's not something that just happens. It will go on and on and on and on and on before a time will come when you can even bear fruits. And look at how many fruits can you bear? Do you see? Yeah. So bearing of fruits is another time taking patience. Word of my patience. Amen. Are you there now? Abide in me, and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine. Notice Proverbs 18 verse one. He who willfully separates and estranges himself from God and man seeks his own desire and pretexts to break out against all wise and sound judgments. Amen. So, ladies and gentlemen, you must realize that as you try to break out, you break out against sound judgment, because instead of remaining as a tree for long enough to bear fruit, I'm off. You quarrel against what? Sound judgment You are quarrelling against all sound judgment and I want to teach you. Pastors decide to be men who have got a word of my patience. If your wife is not patient, discipline her. A good husband must know how to discipline his wife so that she will follow the word of my patients. Because you may be patient, but your wife was not at the camp, so she didn't hear the word of my patients. You see, she doesn't know how much patience is needed for this great calling. Amen. So she's saying, when, when are we also going to have a car? When are we, when are we going to, where will, which school will our children go? Will our child go to well well well well well Is there any school in this town? Is there any school in this town? What what is going to be our future? As of me, I didn't go to school so but I want my child to go to school. Hey and the person is fighting against the wealth of my patients. Before you realize you have broken out against all what judgment and disconnected yourself on where to pray. For most of my the children of my classmates, they speak with an American accent or British accent. Yeah. Hello. Oh, what are you going? Coming. Yeah, that is how they speak. These are the children of my mates. My children speak. Charlie. I am going to the place. Why are you going? This is how my children speak. Because my children went to school in Dansoman. Yeah. They went to school in Dansoman. Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm happy. I'm happy. So I'm, I'm, I'm the word of my patience, not knowing that God will bless me for my children to even one of my one of my children is in medical school. I'm surprised. It's a blessing from the Lord. I never thought so. My wife never put such stress on me. Where will our children do this? Should our children not do? Why? Nothing like that. That's why they say that behind every great man there is a good woman. It's not true always, but it is true meaning Behind some great men is a terrible woman. Some great men is a terrible woman. What a shock. Hey, man, are you there? Yeah. So taking off time and allowing the organs to develop. Some of you, you are doing the right things. What's the right thing? Maybe you have to have sex. Discharge or ejaculate the seeds into the canal day after day. It's not like you're doing the wrong things. You've got it right step #1 visitation prayer. But the organ has to just by next month it will be mature or by next two years. So if you don't keep the word of my patients and persist in continuing the prayer, visitation, preaching and even developing yourself in those things to the days of the fruit bearing facts, Wow. Think about it. When a woman has her first period, you even wonder what is causing it to come because you'll be there and then one day it arrives and that's the day of fertility. And it never comes down to then. It's like it chooses a day. And you can't even say that at exactly this or exactly that this is going to happen. You can't tell some earlier, some later, some whatever. So you don't even know. So it's like, baby, you see that somebody has started to bear fruit, but yours is just three months more please, three months more, please, and yours will also start. But when an evil spirit comes on you, you break out against what all sound judgment. Christ have mercy, Amen. Are you there or you are going home? The next 1 chapter 3 The commandment of God to build a big church or a mega church is a word of my patience. Amen is a word of my patience. Amen. The commandment to build a big church is a word of my patience. Now First Corinthians chapter 3, verse five. Who then is Paul? Who is Apollos that ministers by whom you believed even as the Lord gave to every man I have planted, Apollos has watered, but God gave the increase. Amen. So then neither is he that planted anything, neither he that watereth, but God gave the increase. Amen. Are you there? He says we are laborers together. You are God's garden, you are God's husbandry, you are God's building. You see, the church in Corinth was two things. It was both a building and a garden or a field. And for the field to yield fruit and for the field to grow and the things that have been planted to grow, it's God who gives the increase. And if God doesn't give the increase, it's just not going to work. For instance, there are some places in the world there are no big churches like Israel. If you have a church with 200 people, I think it's about the largest church in Israel. Yeah, Japan, there's no big church there. There's a church with 100 or 200 people, the largest church you can get. There's no big churches there. God has not decided to give the increase yet to the people there. There is nothing you can do to change their minds. But then a time comes. Whereas in Africa there were no big churches. People didn't believe in God. A time came when all the big churches are in Africa and South America. So there is an element of God who gives the real increase that we are looking for. And that thing your sewing and your watering can never change it. You can water and water until it's a flood. You can pour the seed and pour the seed until it's a warehouse of seeds. Do you understand that God has to give the increase? And God has decided at some places that he wouldn't give an increase. And that is why wherever you go, where there is a big church, usually you can also have a big church. Yeah, that is why when there is a big one big church in the city and another person comes to start another church in the city, usually they can have big churches because God is giving the increase there, whereas in some places not giving the increase. So you also go and start your church there. You're sowing, reaping, doing everything, but it doesn't work because God is yet to give the increase in that place. It's true. So there are big churches in Accra. If you also start a church in Accra, you are likely to have a big church if you are patient. Yeah. So when you go to a town and there are small church, God has not given the increase in that town. It's not likely to change. You watch and see. You can try. You can try and see. But I will tell you that you will discover that God's garden takes time to grow. There is an element of God himself deciding, and sometimes he has not decided he's going to give it in 20 years time before the 1st church will start to grow. In fact, recently I met a pastor from Israel and he told me that his church was about 202 hundred or 300 people. 300 And I said wow. And so that is a big church, 300, because there's never been any church like 300 people gathering Israel to praise God. The next one, the chapter 4, the commandments to suffer Amen is a word of my patience to suffer. The word of my patience Acts Chapter 9 verse 16. When God called Paul, verse 15, the Lord said unto him, Go thy way, He's a chosen vessel to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. Amen. Are you there? Amen. So to suffer, the Bible says if anyone come unto me, let him take up his cross daily for three months and follow me. Let him take up his cross daily for four years and follow me. Let him take up his cross daily, daily. There's no time on that daily after the daily, that is it, daily, Amen. Are you there or you are going home? Amen. So Are you ready to suffer for forever? That is you. That is why I always encourage people to be happy. Percy. Percy and Stella come here. Come. Yeah. When I saw you yesterday, they just got married. So actually this is their honeymoon. Is this fantastic? And what did I tell you yesterday? What, what was the main advice that I gave you in your your life, your life, in your life, marriage. Bishop told us to be happy. What did I tell you? You said that as you are saying that we should be happy. You mean it because sometimes we don't know that we have the best. But some people have P22, some others have SM 13, but some people have. M13. Yes, M 13. S4. And S4 and some of us who rather have a 5, we are rather complaining that it's no, it's no, we are not happy, we are not satisfied. So what did I say you should do? You say when you go you should blow. You blow. Hey, I didn't say that. What did I say? Bishop said. Jersey Happy B. What did I say? Maybe. We should be happy. She has added a bluing. What a shock. Hey, girls like boys more than Boys Like Girls like. I'm saying that because we were staying at different places, so yesterday Bishop organized the room that we should go and be staying. So we got the message. I wanted you to look out of the window and enjoy the cine look. When I tell you to be happy, there is no higher command I can give you. On the occasions when there is happiness, do not frustrate the happiness and change it because there will be many days of sadness. Yes, in your life there will be many days. So when there's happy, believe it, be happy, just tell it. Don't let any imaginary websites of a problem. It's not a real problem. We've made a website that you want to be checking on. So what problem can there be? It's in the air and you download it into your world. It's not in your world really. You made a website of problems and in case you are there, it's like can I check the Internet to see what problem I can bring to myself when there is no problem. So be happy because he said, because he said, what did he say? He said he said take off your cross daily, not daily for three months, daily for two years daily for 10 years, daily for the first part of your ministry, no daily. There's going to be cross, sacrifice, difficulty, pain, all until you die. That's why when you are dying you say I've fought, you see, you think in your head, not that I've rested, I've been victorious, I was successful. You see, I've fought, I've ran, ran, I've fought, I've ran, I've finished my course. This is how you will think. If you really are in the ministry then you will just think I've fought. But when people congratulate me, I just think of my problems. There's not that your praises have No, I don't. I don't feel praised in any form of lightest kind of praises. I just feel troubles. Hey, so when there is a moment when you can smile and say, oh, look at what the Lord has done and be happy and have energy and blow, blow. What a blessing. Those who, those who are shouting, they are all jealous of you. They are all jealous, they are jealous. Pray for yourself this kind of shouting rule and pray for yourself and God will open such a door for you. Amen. Thank you, children. You are blessed. Not for them. They are jealous. I'm telling you I've been a pastor for a long time. I'm telling you that they are jealous now. Hallelujah, the next chapter. How many chapters do you have in the book? 4 chapters. What's chapter 1 now? Chapter 2 is what chapter 3 is. 1 commandment to build a big church is a word of my patience. Chapter 4 is a word of my patience. Chapter 5, the commandment, the vision, the vision for your life all right is a word of your patience. Amen. The vision for your life is a word of my patience. Amen. Now in James chapter 4 verse 13, he says, whereas you know not what shall be on the Morrow, for what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time and then vanishes away. Amen. Now if you look at this scripture, hold on. Amen. How many do you have? Do we have? So for five, OK, what is #1? It's a word of my patience. Is that not the case? Number 2, the commandment to bear fruit is going to take us a long time to bear fruit, isn't it? Because it takes even a woman many years to reach puberty? Is that not the case? Start getting ready to bear fruit And elephants take what, 2 years to have two years pregnancy to have a baby? All right, so if your church is not 200 by next week or next year, all right, or when you go back, all right, it's taking. It means your organs are now developing for a mega church. Put your hands together for the Lord. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Now what does the Bible say? What is your life? Isn't it? What is your life? What, what is your life? Huh. What is your life? You see your, your life is so short. Do you get it? But at the same time, at the same time it is long. Amen. At the same time it is long. So in one breath you are supposed to. In one breath you are supposed to think of life as being something short so that you give your best to it. But within the life, you are supposed to see the word of my patient as something that would take a long time within that vapour life to accomplish. And that because your life is a vapor, you will need others to be linked with you to do something. Yeah. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah. I hope you get what I'm trying to say. Yeah. So your life is a vapor. It's so short. That's what Billy Graham said. He said what is surprised about the breath is the shortness of life. But at the same time, within this life, there's a long distance within that short paper that you have to accomplish the will of the Lord. Now turn with me to Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 2. And the Lord answered me and said, write the vision. Make it plain upon the tables that he that runs may read it. Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 2. Then Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 3. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie. Though it tarry, Amen. Wait for it, because it will surely come, Amen. Though it tarry, wait for it, alright, it will surely come, it will not tarry. Amen. Now the word tarry is the word to hesitate. You see your your life's vision will look as if it is hesitating, as if it's hesitating to come. You know what exactly hesitate. It's like you are as if you are not sure. It's not really coming. That's why it's the word of my patients. It's as if it's hesitating. Prosperity is hesitating to come to you as if a car is hesitating. It's like the greatness of what God has called you to as if it's if it's stammering and struggling to come. It also means to delay you see or defer or remain behind or slack. So it's like life's your the vision of your whole life. It has an inbuilt delay. Yeah, there's an inbuilt delay, but it will surely calm. You see, I have dreamed to have a mega church, a Church of a certain size and I'm still pursuing that vision, though it tarry. Yeah. Now I want to have 10,000 people in one one Sunday. Yeah, and I'm pursuing it. But I've not yet seen it, you see. Yeah, but I'm pursuing it. Like looks as it's hesitating. I think it doesn't want to really come. Do you get what I'm saying? This is how there's inbuilt delay. So for instance, in loud speakers, we have speakers with an A delay. So now you hear the sound, there's a delay. There are things that are inbuilt and your vision of your life has an inbuilt, prosperity has a delay, your house has a delay, your marriage has a delay, happiness, everything. There's a delay in it, though it tarry, I'm telling you, informing you that it will tarry. So although that is how it is, although that is how visions are, wait for it, although that's how life's visions are. Just be cool. Life's vision have an inbuilt tarry, tarry, tarry. We are going, we are tarrying, we are waiting. Though it delays, it defers. It hesitates for your life. What is your life's vision? What did God call you to serve Him, to bear fruit, to go forward, to do great things for Him? It hesitates and delays is how visions are. Wow. I had a vision once I was climbing on the stage and well just as I was getting on the stage a man met me on the set and started fighting with me, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting. Then as I was fighting I was. So I just changed to the left like this to look and I saw a very large crowd, multitudes, and the Lord said to me, there is something fighting you to make you not see your vision. Wow. So as we have seen certain visions in healing Jesus, crusades, certain crowds, certain things, they are all part of things that you can see. There is a hesitating something trying to prevent us. We have had so many crusades before. We saw half a million people in one day. Do you understand that? We have told me it looks like it's not going to happen, but it's happening. I see it happening practically. Amen The vision is for what an appointed time. That's why all gods in this come fantastic is because it's for a particular time. Amen. The next one the commandment to expect Jesus is a word of my patience that one there it didn't say so James after 5 verse 7. Be patient therefore unto the coming of the Lord. Behold the husband man waited for the precious fruit of the earth and have long patience. The precious fruit of the earth long patience until he received the early and the latter rain. It takes lot of patience to receive the fruits of the earth. This Scripture has even given us more direct clarity that patience. It's necessary for bearing fruits. Long patience. Everybody say long. So there's patience and there's long patience. That one is what Jesus help us. Long patience. He, he waits for the fruit with long patience for the early rain and the latter rain, Wow, what is the early rain? The early rain is the rain that comes when you are planting the seeds. That's what gives you the power to germinate. That's the early rain. The the season before the early rain is when you break up the fallow grounds and plow in preparation for planting the seed. Then the early rain comes when you've planted the seed and waters the grounds so that it sprouts after it's sprouted. It's now going for another long, the longest season between the early rain and the latter rain to make for the thing to grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow. Then at the end of the long season of growing comes the 4th season of your life, which is the latter rain, which waters the thing which has been growing for a long time and brings it to maturity and to fruit bearing. This is the two seasons. So the battle says that the husbandman or the farmer, he went patiently from the early rain and the latter rain. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes. So the early rain. Some of you have experienced the early rain or you've been breaking up the fallow ground. You are now going to plant seeds. He's not going to have fruit soon. I'm not expecting you to come back with chiefs rejoicing to show me. These are my members. These are my. It will take time. Other sometimes we'll start seeing the people. These are home camps. Who are these? Oh, you remember faster. These are. These are his members. These are his people. Yeah, One day I'll see you drive. You drive a car to the Kodesh and say, oh, this is a car that we, we, we, we managed to buy for you. He said you can give it to any of your children or any of your persona. We know that we couldn't buy one that you actually used, but this one, it's also for you. You can't do anything with it. Yeah. So wow. Or maybe you buy one that I can drive. Why not? Or that I will drive because you may buy. I will say I don't like it. Yeah, Is it powerful? Amen. Be patient, therefore, for the coming of the Lord. And finally, yeah, that's it. So these are the great blessings. Now Chapter 7, due to the obedience, your obedience to the Lord. OK, you are being blessed now to we have 3 great blessings for keeping the word of His patience. When we go through this, we are done. Now I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world to try Amen to try them that dwell upon the earth. Now one of the great blessings, and you must believe it, that God gives you for keeping the word of his patience is what is a deliverance from certain tests. Yeah, tests. Amen. There are some tests you don't want to do. You see me? I don't want to do my anatomy exam again because if I start going through these exams again, modules I can easily fail. How many? Rather you can easily fail. Even though you fast, you can easily fail. So once you are through, you are through. Module 28, is it not fantastic? Yeah. So there are tests. You see what? What we don't realize is that a test is an experience you should pray not to have. That's why I said deliver us from evil. Leave that not into 10 with all your armour and all your whatever. When the test comes, you may not find it easy at all, even if you are prepared and prepared and prepared and prepared for it. So a great blessing from the Lord is to be delivered from tests. And he said there are some temptations which are going to come on the earth to try all everybody, not just a few. All the world will be tested with these testings and you will be exempted from certain tests. That's a reward from God. Here's the reward exemption. Oh, you are exempted. Yeah, you are exempted from certain tests as you have chosen to follow the word of his patients. These five testings which came upon those who did not follow the word of his patients will be you will be saved from those 5 testings. Hey, do you want to know what those five testings are? Yeah, same with me. So First Corinthians chapter 10. Now moreover, brethren, I would know that you should be ignorant how that all our fathers were under the clout, Amen, and were baptized unto Moses in the cloud, and did all eat? Are you there? Amen. And did all eat, Amen. The same spiritual meat did all drink, for they drank of that spiritual rock. But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness, Amen. Now the children of God, OK, whom God sent and gave them the word milk and honey, they are going to eat milk and honey. How's it going? They said What? You have not given us milk and honey. Where is the milk and honey? From the moment they cross the Red Sea, even before they cross the Red. Just you just hinted. Come and see. We want this. This, this, this, this, this, this, this. Oh, what are you saying? You're spoiling the nice thing you are accusing. I'll give you. I'll give you homework to do. Go and watch this film. Laugh, brood in an African pot. It's an old film. If you ever get a chance to lay hold on it, watch it you. It is a film that reveals the effect of accusations and the power it has to spoil a nice thing that God is doing. Because in that film the husband was a fitter, a mechanic, and the wife was an aristocratic man's daughter and he married her, but she did not trust him. He did not. After they were, they showed how Ghana used to be years ago. It's also a historical film that you can see how Ghana used to be, how the houses were and you see that they were happy. Then one day the man said that he saw her with a lawyer who tried to hold her dress. And he says, Gee, he says stop what you are doing. But he saw her and then or somebody came and told him and said that she is in love with that man. And she said, what are you saying? What are you saying? It's one of the saddest films in the world as the film. And they say that the man created a website of problems that do not exist, not a website that don't exist. And based on that, he took the woman, this the woman. In the end, the woman was mad, the man was mad. Everything was confused. And it's just like this Israeli, you have a good thing. Is it not Red Sea that you've crossed, but discontentment accusations against Moses remembering saying that he is this he want them to kill them. He should have left them well retelling the land that was played with Nokia Ali. Why has he brought them to the wilderness? Will it not have been better? Our children will die here. All sorts of things. Even Moses sat the person I'm not taking any ass. It's like nobody even told him and asked that he was now saying things that he doesn't. We don't even know why he was saying that he has taken somebody's ass. He said I'm not taking even an ass from these people. Look at what they are saying. They spoil the woo thing. I'm so sad. But when you look at yourself, look at how God has taken you through the red seat. Somebody like you. Is it some of you, if I was to play the video of your personal life, the number of people that you have had sex with in different ways, persistent? I did not. Nobody even knows you really as you are. You have passed through the Red Sea. You are sitting here today. Is it tomorrow that you are going to be complaining about what? And accusing and accusing to bring the whole ship down? That is why you need to look at such a film as Love Brewed in an African Pot, and you will get an understanding of what it is like to accuse and tell the nice thing that you have is absolutely destroyed. Yes, it happens practically. Amen. Are you there? Yeah, you will understand it. You can't even believe. It's a very sad film, you see. But what I'm saying is that these people had everything now because they fought against God, right? They became subject to a host of temptations and testings. Now one day I went to the doctor because I wasn't feeling well and the doctor asked me five questions. Do you see these five questions? He asked because he wanted to find out about my heart. Do you understand? So he said, I'm going to ask you 5 questions and based on these five questions, I can know the state of your heart #1 was what is my weight? Yes, your weight. So by the grace of God, through obedience to God in terms of fasting, I've been saved from that one because through fasting and discipline, fasted life, there's a certain weight, maybe you may not, I don't know. Second question, do you smoke? Is that based on these five, I can know the whether you are in danger or risk of heart disease. 5 questions. Number one, what is your weight #2 do you smoke now? Because I've kept the word of his patience to save God. You see, I do not smoke. I do not smoke. Do you get what I'm saying? Yes, I mean I've tried smoking before. I remember when somebody gave me a cigarette to try as a little boy. Yeah, once. And I, that was the first time I whamper and I didn't know what it was. And that was it as I don't smoke because I keep the weather. So now the testings, other things, without intending to, I was delivered from one. Those of you who are ladies, you hear me preaching, talking about weights, this and that. If you are to follow it, a day will come when they will ask you your risk of getting this, your risk of getting this, your risk of getting this. You see that most of them will point to your weight #2 do you smoke #3 do you drink alcohol? This from the heart. Oh, I was surprised. So there are five questions. I said wow, since I was born again, I and I'm serving the Lord, I don't drink any kind of alcohol. The nearest to drinking of alcohol is Holy Communion. I don't drink Guinness, I don't drink appetashi, I don't drink beer, I don't drink vodka, I don't drink any kind of alcohol at all. So three, I was delivered #4 He asked me Do you exercise? He said exercise. I said I don't know any exercise, but I play golf. He said very good. How many times I told him, He said, oh, then you are OK. I said really? He said, yeah, if you play golf like this then you're OK. So a tape that I was listening to, that young guicho said his doctor asked him to play golf and that it will add 10 years to his life without even knowing what I was doing. And following that, this man plays golf, so it must be a good thing. Suddenly I was now delivered from #4 hey. And then #5 there's my blood pressure, which they checked. So these four, by following the way in a certain way, I was now deleted from so many options when they mentioned us. Oh, this one, I'm out. This one I'm out. This one, I'm out, this one I'm out. Easy. Wow. So when you keep the word of his patients, there are so many things. You are out. You are out of that one. Yeah. You are out of that one. When they mention. So I'm out of this when they mention. So I'm not in when they mention this. I'm out when they mention this. Why? Because you are in the ministry. Yeah. Because you are in the ministry. Yeah. When they are mentioning HIV. So I'm out this one. I'm out. Yeah. One finish, one vagina. That's it. Did you hear? And I said one finish, one vagina. 1P1V. 1P1V. It's a formula. I said it's a formula. 1P1V. Yeah, 1P1V you can be your card number G you can put 2011 one P1V sometimes. What is the meaning of this thing? It means faithfulness. How many are realizing that by following God you have been delivered from so many things? And He said that because you have kept the word of my patients, I'm going to keep you from the testing that will come to try the whole earth. So it's like it's not something for some particular people, but general testing that everybody experiences. By the grace of God, you are going to be kept from them because you have kept the word of His patients. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Some of you. You would have been armed robbers. You would have been a non robber. You would have been a non robber. What was that? Sakawa fraud. This is what you would have been but now because you have kept the word of my patience, that thing of being and becoming an armed robber who doesn't have any job and it's a job, it's a job people are doing, they don't have anything to do. And that job, you see you are doing it because you do not have anything to do. Recently, Bishop Prichard, he came to Ghana last week. He was doing something, shuffling from president, some other things. When he arrived in the UK, he sent me a text and he said I'm back in London and thank you. I am blessed to have a job. That's what he said. I'm blessed to have a job. Yeah, because you see one of the things about the ministry that it's a job. We have work to do. You don't have anything to do. Oh, you don't have anything to do. You'll be going up and up and up and down. There's nothing. Yeah. You look like you young guys. What will you be doing? Somebody like you. Look at you. What will you be doing? But now you have a real job, a job that is going to take your whole life. You you wait and see. And throughout this, like you'll be learning things. Yeah, you'll be learning things since you came there. So have you not learnt about computers? I'm asking you a question. Have you not learnt about your exam? Is it not computer that you used to do all these things? Even I don't know. All these things I don't know. At least through the Church. Through the Church you have been delivered from the case of unemployment. These are temptations that come upon the whole earth, the whole earth. Unemployment, unemployment, the temptation of unemployment and all that it brings. You have also been delivered from the case and temptation of illiteracy. You are far more you when you say tell somebody oppression Barbarossa, I said what is that? The average university student doesn't know Oppression Barbarossa. They don't know what it's about. I'm telling you, you have been dealing up from the temptation of an illiterate. The exams you have passed, you yourself have learned something about life, how to overcome discipline villages and because you have kept the weather for four years, you have kept the weather of his patients to stay in the school, Do you think it will not have an effect on you for the rest of your life? That is why when people ask me that I went to medical school, so have I not wasted my time, I said no. What I suffered in that school, what I saw, that is why your school is the way it is. Here is the fruit is the fruit of how medical school. That's how it was. Everything you are doing is the medical school type of thing and you finish this and the results have come immediately. People chase everything. It's not a small school. It's a wild school. And a time will come when people will be begging and we will say that the school is full. We cannot take. You have to book five years in advance to be admitted to the school. People will want to come to the school. I said no, no, no, no. We cannot expand. Maybe expand. We cannot take anymore. Yeah, because it will take time for your great works and the tingling years of your ministry to be spreading in the system for people to say which school is that, which country is that? It is Ghana. It is called Anakazu shabaya. It will happen practically, practically, practically. You'll see it with your eyes. You have been delivered from unemployment. You have been delivered from illiteracy. You have delivered from being an armed robber. You have been delivered from being a fool. See, because you have kept the word of my patients. There are so many things I tell you. Look at me when I went to the doctor and I said, do you smoke? I said no, 5 questions. You drink? No. Do you exercise a place of is it exercise? Yeah, three times I do. It's exercise. What is your weight? Based on? How I learn how to pray. I don't want to eat certainty I will be there. I will be there for a long time without eating and so on. It has also kept me because if I didn't like food, I get food that I like, but it's a steaming action. What a shock. But most of the time I don't get food that I like. How many temptations have you been delivered from? Have you written them down? How many? Number one is what unemployment #2 illiteracy #3 armed robbery #4 foolishness #5 you have been deleted from smoking because as a person who is keeping the word of your patience, you cannot smoke. You can smoke. Wow, smoking pasta. Look, one day we had a guy whom we employed to work at Healing Jesus Crusade, and the guy was a wild smoker. We didn't know, so when he came and sat in the pickup, he was smoking, smoking. So we entered the car. The Hawker was smelling. We go for crusaders going behind there to smoke. We cannot have a smoker. We cannot have a smoker as part of the crusade team. It was not breaking with the Crusades. So you go the churches the fastest you see us. The people have come. They are all smoking on on the crusade field as we are fixing the sound system, but it doesn't correspond with the Crusades. So you see that there are some things that it has been forced to go out of your system. What a blessing, because thou has kept the web of my patience. I shall also keep you from the temptations which has come upon the whole and to try them. What you are deleted from smoking, drinking. Think about it, you cannot be drinking and be a successful pastor. Everybody will know you in town as a drunkard. You think your church will grow, you think your vision will come to pass. As you are drinking every day you are having one appetite sheet 2. Smoking pastor for men. You are smoking, drinking. The next one is what? How many do you have? 6 #7 You are delivered from overweight when you are too fat. As a pastor, the you see people perceive you as lazy. You are perceived as slow and even dull. In your mind. It's true. It's not that you are dull, but you are seen as slow, lazy because a big elephant is that it can't run fast. A hippopotamus after better than antelope, which is and the hippopotamus is boom boom boom boom. Hey, are you a hippopotamus or an antelope? Amen. So you you now you would like to be slim, handsome, beautiful. The next one you are delivered from fornication. Fornication prostitution. How many field you would have been prostitutes? Come here, my dear, come. Why do you think you would have been a prostitute? Because it's difficult to find jobs, and it's the easiest job you can find where you can get a whole lot of money within a short space. How much do you get? They normally pay the one that I know they were paying 250 pet client 2. 150 What pet lion? Like per per yes, 250 runs. How much is 250 runs? It's almost 50 Ghana series. 50 Ghana series Yes for one session, yes, one second. How many? How many clients can you have in a day? OK the person that I know, she told me that she gets like 4 clients per night so she can make something like 1000 rent. She was a student with me in Technicon. So once you are in school, you don't really have enough to take care of yourself. First there's somebody who is a prostitute who has everything. There's a fridge in her room. Microwave everything. All because of prostitution. Thousand runs, what a business? 4 clients do they use condoms? Yes, they do use condoms. What about without condom? How much is that? OK, I don't know. The person has told me. That's what she told me. Wow, in essential would you have been a prostitute? Come what's your? Name My name is Poomzile. Pomzile. Yes, Bishop, I think I would have been, yes. Maybe not because of money, but like you said, maybe a lay prostitute. Not really that I'm working, but. Maybe not a professional one, but maybe shut up. Maybe not a maybe not a professional who takes money, but maybe the number of people I would have slept with, it would have been just the same as a prostitute is the. Wow, so are you going to be a late prostitute now? No, a lady pastor. A lady pastor. What a blessing, what a blessing, what a blessing. A lady pastor. LP Innocentia Oh, shake my hand, help me, help me to help me. Lady Pasta. It's a blessing a little bit from so many. Are you understanding the scripture because you have kept the word of my patience. I will also keep you from the temptations that's a come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth. Wow. Yes. Hello. Yeah. So now we also had somebody who actually was into constitution and the person came to the school, but the person was not able to keep the word of his patients because she tried to manifest and then we had to, you know, send the person back. So instead of becoming a lady pastor, you know, I don't know whether she's even gone back to it, But the key is that she was not able to keep the word of his patients. I knew, my dear. Yeah. Bishop I think I would have been because when I finished Estas, I had some friends who were used to the club. So they introduced me to the club. So I also went to the club and I, I became something like a, a head of the club because I used to sing in the club. And then I almost went into, I almost went into, but my sisters, like by the help of God, my sisters. I almost went. Where, where? Where is this club? Where? Which country? Which town? Wow. And today you are what? How many love this scripture you have? I feel I want to hold the scripture so close to my heart. I don't want to lead the scripture. I don't want to lead the scripture. I want to hold the scripture to my heart because you have kept the word of my patience. I will keep you because you need money. You need money. And so expecting a lot of money, like when I sing in the club in a like one night, I could get about maybe that in those days 200,300 thousand and then before other big men with big cars that come around. I almost. Went into it. I almost went into it. And then it. It gets It got to a point that the guy of the the owner of the club became my boyfriend. I almost. Who is that come? Who is Bilada? Who is your brother? And what about you? OK, I would have, I would have been because of the place I used to work. I I, I used to work in one of the five restaurants in Kenya, well known restaurants. I mean, it's called Carnival. So people used to come. I, I remember I shared with Reverend Obi that if not for the gospel, I mean like the people I have sent to hell because most of the when I went there first, I used to serve like I would open beer and tell the person that enjoy your drink. So I mean like, if I didn't leave the place, actually I would have been. I mean, I would have been. Somewhere drinking and you are used to work there. Yes, I used to work there because of the career. So that's where I found my first job. That's where I worked till I came to Lighthouse. And then Reverend used to tell me I don't like the place you work because The thing is that your Christian life is more important than the money you get there. Yeah. So I decided that I'm abandoning it and coming to the Bible school to be a pastor. Sheila, from where are you? I'm from Kenya. I really think that I would have been an illiterate prostitute also because most of my schoolmates dropped off from school around class seven, Class 8. I mean, they got pregnant by the time I finished home for one of my classmates had about four kids. Yeah, she had about four kids. She stopped school. And I mean, it's most of them were my friends. Maybe I would have been in the village just rotting somewhere by by the grace of God, I'm here today. Yes, Dixon. Yes, Bishop. Well, no, no, no, no, no. I wouldn't have a beloved. Oh, maybe I would have had a Z26. You would have been a prostitute camp. Why do you say you have been a prostitute? So write it down. You would have been You have been delivered from prostitution lay or full time. Give me the mind. Mine would have been late because most of my friends were Indians and they used to know a lot of some way things. A lot of the bad things I knew I learned from them. And when I see them, I'll ask, they may say come and try. So me too, I'll come and try. And most of the clubbing that when the first clubbing I went to the strip club, when I entered, I saw my brother, he just rushed me home. Most of the things I wanted to do them, but it's like I used to see people who know me, my father and they would suck me. And also so I had a boyfriend who introduced me to a lot of bad things, a lot of bad things. He's my father, insane introduced me. But I think most of the things because of my brothers, we are 16 so by all means one will be someone. So when I go somewhere I will meet oh God we are 16 will bring me home and they will tell me I shouldn't do this. My desk mate introduced me to smoking. I remember I coughed, I had an asthma attack, I couldn't go back again. And then the first day I slept out something really bad happened to me. I never slept out again. So I just think because people were always there to block me otherwise I would have gone to the extreme. I know myself. So God has delivered all our daughters from lay and full time prostitution. Isn't that amazing Vuyu? What would you have been? A combination. I would have probably started with drugs. I sold drugs in Cape Town. I studied there, and then I stopped selling drugs when it was on the news that the supply that was coming from Johannesburg, the guy who was bringing the supply was arrested. So that's how I stopped. And even that one wasn't even doing it because I wanted to, was rather more of curiosity and excitement and whatnot. I smoked DACA which is marijuana weed I was trying to get. I never got high once. But you were trying, but I was. Trying. I kept trying. Everybody was getting high. I was wondering am I smoking the thing right or pulling it right? I never got. And then what they would do is that they would say let S smoke. Then we go to these suburbs where they have these white movies. We go and watch a sad movie where the white side. Then we are laughing because now we are high. Movie is sad, everybody is crying but we are high and we are laughing at the sad movies. Do you understand? The movie is sad. Everybody is crying. Then they laugh because they are high. They are high, yeah. And then I think I would have been dead also. It was one of the nights there's a wound here. I was actually stabbed. So I ended up in hospital. It was just a few inches away. The doctor said it was a few inches away from the the vein that is here. So I would have been gone also by now. So death. Death. Write that one down. Deliver from death. OK, Go sit down. Go sit down. Wow. LP's. Me and my younger brother, also Pastor Mandla, we drank together so drafts beers and stuff, so a lot of alcohol. Death, a lot of times. What else have we been delivered from prison? Write that 1-2 down Prison. You'd have gone to prison as Bishop said one day, he said by the case of God that we are not in prison. All of us that can easily go to prison in this life easily. OK, so 5 temptations. We've said many of them #1 homosexuality. You can also have become homosexual. The temptation to last for evil things. First Corinthians chapter 10 verse 16. These were our examples to the intent that we should not last after evil things. All the Israelites, Amen, went through the desert and they came out Hallelujah. They drank the same spiritual rock, but with them God was not pleased. Why lasting? So one of the sins you are also delivered from is lasting after evil things. Because you are not there. You don't know what it's like, you don't even have a taste. So there are a lot of evils God is saving you from as you are in the ministry. You just won't have those things to even last after them. Do you understand pornography, homosexuality tracks, crazy things, stealing. You are just not going to be there. It's a test that through the grace of God, you will just not see. Amen. Are you excited about that? So many, many rich people lust after evil things the Bible says that they have through desires they have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Because they desire so many things. Rich people have all kinds of foolish lusts. When you desire riches, you desire foolish things. Foolish things. I want to. I was watching a film when a lady was saying she wants to sleep with three men at the same time. She wants three men who are all confident to sleep with her at the same time. Do you see? Yeah. This was her desire. The one, three men. One will be on up, one will be here, one will be here. Then they will be rotating is what she wants. Another lady said when she was Eva, she wants to have sex in front of a congregation of 1000 people for some desires. I'm talking about foolish desires of crazy people. She wants a lot of people to watch as they're having sex with her. Yeah. I mean, these are foolish lasts you don't even understand so. But you have to be in a certain world for something like this to even come up. And by the grace of God, you are delivered from foolish lust #2 fornication, no idolatry, the idol of money. If you want to say idol worship, you don't even come in. And the idol of money, hopefully you'll be able to stay away from it. So another idol, another sin of idolatry, which many people have fallen to, is one of the things you'll be delivered from. Because there's a certain idol you don't follow, you don't worship. Are you listening to me #3? Number one is what is #3 yes #3 fornication. Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed and fell in one day. 23,000 There are a whole lot of fornications. Even if you fall, you will see that the fornication that you would have committed just as the normal person, by being in the ministry, that one alone will. Most of us here will be saved from fornication to a large extent. Maybe some will fall into it here and there, but largely pastors don't commit fornication. Most pastors don't commit fornication. You may not know, but most pastors don't commit fornication. They are accused, accused, accused. Actually, most pastors do not commit fornication. Yeah, we also have last, we have problems. We tried this, this, but mostly it's statistics so that most ministers do not. A percentage does, but most do not. So as you have entered a certain group, most you are not likely to be in the you are even odd, odd out. What a blessing. You see, after the ejaculation, you say that what am I doing? What am I doing here? Is it not fantastic how many are so happy of what God has done for you? I never knew that coming to serve God is such a wild thing. Because I wanted to be serious with the Lord, I had to marry. That's what made me marry. Actually. One of the reasons for marrying was to avoid other sisters. That the best person who can deliver you from a woman is a woman, say. And to wisdom, you are my sister. And to Understanding you are my kingswoman. That they may deliver you from the strange woman. So these two ladies can keep you from another woman. What a shock. Are you there? Yeah. So I wanted to be delivered from strange, strange women. So I entered a relationship. I was a young man. Marriage would not advocate. I used to say after me. I will not marry. I will not marry now. If I marry later, later later later later through ministry, I rather entered into marriage. Hey, thank God for such a word of His patience which has given my life in a certain way. What a blessing. Are you excited about this great blessing? I feel so excited about it. 1P1V. 1P1P It is a what a formula means. Faithfulness number #4 You will be delivered from tempting Christ. Neither let us tempt Christ and some of them were also tempted and destroyed of the serpents. That is you anger God. You see, like because God, he can kill power. So when you tempt, it's like he's tempted to kill you. Do you see tempted to wipe you out? So sometimes you see that when you go into the ministry, the temptation that God has to wipe you out, He will not be having that temptation when he sees you. So when they see you, you feel tempted to wipe them out. I don't want to see this person again, neither let us tempt Christ as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpents. God feels that I send these snakes into your life. Mercy. What a shock. And finally, how many have I given you #5 memoring. After you've been to this Bible school and you have stayed here for such a long time, do you think you can easily be a memorial? I don't think so. Amen. Finally, what a blessing turns to Revelations Chapter 3. The next thing that you are going to be blessed with in Revelations Chapter 3, you are going to become a pillar in the church. He says you keep thee from the hour of temptation which I come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly him that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple. How many are excited that you are going to be a pillar in the temple and you are going to, that is going to be a great blessing. And then the last one, the last blessing for this meeting in this camp is that you are going to have the name of God written on you. You see some people when you see them now you see God, isn't it? When you see them now it's a church. If you see Bishopsaki, you know, I mean, you think of the church, you don't think of court, you don't think of, I mean, Accra, Ghana, you think of the church because the name of God is on the person. Wow. You are associated with God where somebody sees, no, it sees God. God is moving. I mean God, something about God is coming that way. I see some of you now. When they see you, they don't associate you with that. So there's a lady outside by the time we come when when they see you inside, God, something God about God, something God, God, God, God is around somewhere. I said something about God is in town, something about God, something about God, something about God. I like to be associated with God, something about God. And they see this is something medical or something about carpentry or something about science or something about art or something about school. When they see you know the name, because the name of our God, and I've been put up once, I'll give him my name. I'll put my name on him. I'll plaster the name. When you see God, one of the God, God people, one of the God people, one of the church people, it's a pastor, a pastor something. It's something to do with God because the name of God has been put on you and you have become a pillar. Through you the church is standing. You see this pillar. That is what is preventing the whole story building from coming on our head. Through you the whole church will be solid. I thank God for this great blessings. Stand to your feet and let's pray. Give a lot of mighty clap offering the word of my patience, the word of my patience. It can, it can almost be called the word of my blessings, the word of my deliverance. The word of my salvation is the word of my patience. It has delivered us from so many things, and we thank the Lord. Father, we lift our hands to you and we thank you for what you have already done. You have accomplished it in our lives. I pray for these wonderful children as they go forth. Let them not be called children by the world, by the Gentiles, but let them be called the sons of God. Let them be called the ministers of fire, of flames and fire. Let them be anointed powerfully. Let them thrive and flourish and accomplish great things for Your name's sake. Thank you for the word of your patience, Lord, I feel so blessed that You have chosen me and given me such a job, a job to do the word of your patients. And I thank you for the special rewards for those who have kept the word of their patients to be deleted from the temptations and testings that shall come upon the earth. To try all them that dwell on the earth. Not nothing special, but something that is all people that are living on earth are experiencing certain testings. But Lord, you save us through this word of your patience. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Shande Imasanulabad. For you shall go to the ends of the earth, you shall fly to the ends of the earth, You shall run like the prophets of the Lord, with a message in your mouth. You shall go forth, you shall not be turned back, you shall not be tired, you shall not be impatient, for the Lord has already performed it. Though it hesitates, though it delays, run with it. Steady your heart, calm down your heart, Speak to yourself, encourage yourself, say to yourself, say to your soul. It is well, or it is a word of His patience, for the Lord will surely bring you to pass. It will make you a victorious son, a victorious warrior, and cause you to return to this land, and cause you to stand here again and declare that years ago I heard the word of His patience, and I believed in my heart, and I have returned to give glory to God and to thank Him for what He has done. Therefore the Lord shall bring it to pass that those that have patience with faith, that'll accomplish many great things for me. Therefore, keep on, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, be strong, be gentle, be good, be an overcomer, be happy, be well, be blessed, be happy, smile, be victorious. But God has already done it. He has done it, He has done it. So be strong, be happy, be victorious, for the Lord has done it. Take upon you. I see a mantle now descending upon you, the mantle of the ancient missionary, the mantle of the missionary that tires not, the mantle of the missionary that goes to the field with his whole life, with his whole life, and places himself as a sea. Receive that mantle. I see that mantle. It is the mantle of a missionary. It is the mental of a survivor, is the mental of a long distance runner, is the mental of he that tires not. He don't have the endurance of the camel, he don't have the tenacity of a mountain goat, he don't have the strength of a lion. For this is the gift of God that have been deposited upon you. I see a mantle, and it is descending upon your shoulders, for your shoulders are carrying a heavy mantle. A powerful yoke breaking anointing shall be upon you as you go into the ends of the earth. The Lord shall use you again and again and again and again, again and again and again and again. For the word of His patience shall come to you again and again and again and again. And the Lord shall do it. Thank you for this mantle. Lift your hand and thank God for the mantle that descended into this room and descended upon your shoulders. Thank Him, for it is already accomplished. It is wonderful in His sight, it is a blessing, and it has been accomplished gloriously and wonderfully, for the Lord has done great things. Father, I give you thanks, I give you praise, and I give you glory. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name, Amen.
