1.One Hundred Million Souls Part 1 - 1

Welcome to track #1 of 100 million souls. Let us pray. Father, thank you for tonight. Thank you for your great blessing that you have given us. Today we ask you to lead us in this time. Thank you Holy Spirit, for great blessings for all of us. We thank you in Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated. Well, I'm excited to be here and I'm glad. I'm glad to see all of you. Amen. I think I, I didn't come to America last year, right? I'm surprised. The time really flies. What a shock. So it's a blessing to be here. And I think the theme of our meeting is quite clear. It's a healing Jesus Partners Conference. And our theme is 100 million souls. All right, so I think it cannot be more simple and clear. Amen. So turn with me to Isaiah chapter 1 and we are going to start right from the Bible. Bible is the basis for all that we do and we read from verse number two. Hear O heavens, and give here OF for the Lord has spoken. Hallelujah. I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the US his master's crib. But Israel does not know, and my people do not consider Hallelujah, ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil doers, children that are corrupters. They have forsaken the Lord, and they have provoked the Holy One of Israel and to anger. Amen. Now verse 9, accept. The Lord of hosts have left unto us a very small remnant. All right, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like Gomorrah. All right, hear, hear the word of the Lord, verse 10. Eurules of Sodom and Gomorrah, verse 11. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifice? Amen. And to me, can somebody turn off? There's some sun blowing straight into my face. If somebody can turn it off, I don't know. Is it? You can't do anything about it. If you can, please. I'm full of burnt offerings and Rams, and the fat of fed beasts. I do not, I do not delight in the blood of bullocks. When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand? Bring no more vain or useless oblations. Incense is an abomination unto me. It is iniquity, your new moons and appointed times. They are trouble unto me. I am weary to bear them. Verse 15. I'm sorry. I wonder why I'm reading this. I'm just reading the Bible. Is it in the Bible? Am I reading into the Bible? When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yeah. When you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. Our hands are truly full of blood. The blood of souls that we refuse to be involved, to win. You see, we don't think most of the things in the Bible apply to us. If you thought the things in the Bible apply to you, you'd be very worried. So is this when you spread off your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Amen. OK, Wash, make you clean. Put away the evil of your doings from you and my eyes from before my eyes, and see to do evil. Learn to do well, to seek the judge judgement, to relieve the oppressed, to judge the fatherless, and plead for the widow. Come now and let us reason together. Amen. Though your sins be like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, and though they be red like Crimson, they shall be as wool. Hallelujah, if you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the lamb, but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured. Hallelujah, are you there now? Verse 23. Your Princess are rebellious and companions of thieves. This can refer to pastors, can also refer to politicians. Your Princess are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves gifts and follows after rewards. Hallelujah. They judge not the fatherless, neither the cause of the does the cause of the widow come to them. Hallelujah. Now therefore, says the Lord of hosts. Verse 24. I will ease me of my anniversaries, and I will avenge me of my enemies, and I will turn my hand upon thee, and pedge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin. Hallelujah, and I will restore thy judges as are the 1st, and thy counselors as of a beginning, and you shall be called a city of righteousness, a faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with judgement, and her converts with righteousness. Hallelujah now, and the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together. They that forsake the Lord shall be consumed, for they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen. Amen. Be ashamed about what you choose, for you shall be as an oak whose life faileth mercy, and that's a garden that has no water, Hallelujah. And the strong shall be as tall and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both bend together, and none shall quench them. Now Isaiah speaks about many things, and when he's prophesying, like with prophets, people who are prophetic, when you listen to them preaching, their preaching doesn't follow order as we understand order. So throughout Isaiah's prophecies, you don't know what sometimes he's talking about. Then he seems to talk about different things all in one chapter and sometimes in one sermon. That's how prophets are. When people are moving in a prophetic, you can hardly tell sometimes what exactly they are talking about, but they talk about something and what they are saying is important. Just maybe a fragment of it is important and the rest is not. Doesn't mean much to you, but the one little part that you understand, it means a lot. For instance, in Chapter 9, he starts to say that a son unto you, a son is given, child is born. That's what we say during Carroll service. You know, you look at it, turn with me. For unjust a child is born, unjust his son is given all right, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called wonderful, all right counsellor. Everlasting peace. The increase of his government in peace there shall be no end. Then he says, the zeal of the Lord shall performance. Then the next verse, it says the Lord sent a web to Jacob and it has lighted upon him, and all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the habitant of Samaria. It doesn't even make sense anymore. Do you understand? Yeah, I'm trying to explain because most of us don't read books like Isaiah. It's too difficult because it doesn't continue in a logical way. So you have to understand Isaiah in the same way that Jesus understood Isaiah, because Jesus quoted more from Isaiah than from any other book than Paul also. And in fact, the references about Christ, a lot of them came from Isaiah. So he's the most important of the Old Testament prophets. But you can never understand those messages by trying to find that he's saying number one, number two, number three, number four. There's no point in it. It's just best of Revelation and it's all and all these chapters and verses we have, we added them when we were making the Bible. Because none of you write a letter in verses #1 number two, number three, number four. It's two people have divided it for it to make sense. When did you write your letter? Do you have verses in your in your letter? I mean verse 2, verse 14, verse 44, verse 45, for of your long letter you are writing. Nobody writes a letter in verses. It is the editors and the creators of the Bible as we know it who divided it. So sometimes you see that some chapters don't end and it continues into the next chapter. Are you with me? OK, so with that in mind, a lot of things now can apply to you. You just have to see and you know that this one is true. You get it. Like the the one I was reading earlier, which we can go back. It says I have nourished and brought up children, huh? And they have rebelled against me. Wow. This one we can relate with it, isn't it? So it's for you. Once you you, you see that it's making sense, then it's a prophecy for you that that's the key to understand. Very shortly the next verses will not make any sense. And so you see that suddenly the whole book can have a meaning for you. Is it fantastic? Is it amazing? Is it supernatural? And it says the ox knows his owner and they ask his Master's script. But Israel does not know and my people does not consider, Wow, this scripture is true about us, it's true about the church that everybody knows his owner and who is the owner of the institution and to whom they must answer. Everybody knows it. Those who work in schools and are teaching, they don't teach the gospel when they are teaching because they know that it's a school owned by maybe the government. You cannot come and start teaching principles of faith or principles of patients or any of these virtues. They may be virtues. You cannot do that during a physics class. You cannot teach about love during a chemistry class. It's wrong. And you wouldn't even want your child to go to a school which is teaching about love during the chemistry class. It's wrong because every institution and every teacher knows the owner, and us knows the owner. The people who are politicians, the democratically elected politicians that we have today, they know their owners. They are owned by the people, by the masses, and that is why we can sometimes watch them on television as they say incredible things. And you wonder why the person is saying what he's saying. You can't even believe it. But they know that these people are going to vote for me. So you see somebody who has a wife and children saying that two men should marry. Yeah. And who would not like his children to do that? He will say that he thinks that they should marry because he knows the owner who is going to say you are, I vote for you. And they find, they do statistics and it's they find out that 6070% of Americans or whatever country are in favour of this. And so based on that, they know the the the owner and the one who has the power. Do you understand? Yeah, Everybody knows where the power is being wielded from in his particular area of field. So you see a Christian who grew up as a Christian doing Alaq Bala with fellow other nandesh? Yes, because of his after there's a response to his honor, whom he has recognized as his honor. Yeah, because he's going to get his vote from those people. So he knows that I am owned by this. But the church and the pastors, we don't know who owns us. And that is why we have yielded ourselves to become something different from what the owner of the church desires. Yeah, something very different. You get it. Why today, when you go to church, you preach. We preach as though we are bank managers. Yeah, I tell you. And we, we have forsaken the real owner of, of all of us and even asses and donkeys are doing better than we are. You know, I sat by a bank manager the other day from I was coming from Johannesburg. He was coming to a Ghana for some meeting. And he was telling me that he didn't want to talk much. He doesn't talk much. He said, I'm, I'm, I'm, I've been working in the, I don't know what he is, but he's very high, a young guy, but he's very high in the bank. And he said, he told me, he said, look, there's a pastor. He's he's my friend from childhood. I will never go to his church. He said all this prosperity, whatever. He said, look, I am, I am a banker. When I go to church, I don't want to hear what I do the the work that I do to come and hear lectures on finance and other things of my area of business. I want to know about. I want to know about God. He said I will never go to his church and all this prosperity what have you. I was surprised. I was just listening to him. Yeah, I was amazed. So you have to ask ourselves. We have to ask ourselves who owns us and whose words and whose bidding are we following? Are you listening to me? Who gives us life and health and makes us to differ from another? It is only the Lord, and because we don't know who owns us, that is why we do all sorts of things and it doesn't matter to us. One brother told me that he cannot pay tithe because he told me that I do not know how much he earns and that he does not earn. I was in Ghana. He said he does not earn cities in Ghana. We earn cities. He said I don't earn cities. I earn dollars in Ghana. I don't know how much I earn. I can never pay tithe. It's too much for the church to find out. I don't know how much I earn. Yeah, but he doesn't know his honor. He doesn't know his honor. He doesn't know the one who? Who? Who makes him alive? The one he's supposed to say yes law to. And then he got sick. Actually, a number of things happened to him, but none of those things moved him. But then he got sick. When he got sick and he realized that they wrote, they wrote on his folder. They wrote it in red ink at 48 hours or something. Some time, some red markings, and then he changed. Then he got to know his owner, the one who is giving him time to live. Are you listening? Yeah. So Church Isaias is a wonderful prophet. We we must know who owns us and we must respond to him and to what he's saying in His word. Amen. Now verse 9, unless they said the Lord had left to us a very small remnant. I want to say that there is just a small remnant, Amen of Christians that believe what God's word says, and if the Lord had not just left, a small remnant would have been like Sodom. What does it mean to be like Sodom? To be like Sodom means to have everything destroyed and everything turned into zero. Amen. Do you want the Lord to destroy everything? So he says unless there had been a small remnant, if it was not for the fact that there's a small remnant, there would have been no use even of the church today. Yeah, most of the church is not interested in the will of God at all. At all. We are not interested in the will of God at all. You see, now I am a pastor of the First Love Church in Accra. So now I'm explaining something to you. So I have a whole lot of new members that I'm pastoring. You know, I've led the Kodesh for some others and I have this new people that I'm pastoring young people now. I have so many members, new members now. The way it is, it reminds me of when I first started pastoring the church and Colegono. When I was today, everybody was young. That's how it has become for me again. Now I see, and Bishop Eddie is also pastoring a church in a hotel somewhere. Now you see the way the church is, and Bishopsakis are the Kodesh, and he's also around different other things he's doing. But the way the church is, you can be so engaged with the people and with people's lives that you will never think of somebody else. I mean, there is no time and even opportunity. And in fact, every drop of money and time that you spend to think of somebody else is a waste of time to you. That's how the church is. You see, if when you are a pastor, everybody in the church is a complex person, are you not complex? Are you not complex? Yeah. Everybody is complex and every person involves complex arrangements to gradually lead you on to where you are supposed to be. Yeah, the pastor can be there. He'll get a message. Pastor, I'm going to do something bad. Yes, that one alone can keep you occupied. You will not have time for anything else. Yeah, do you see? You will not have time for anything else. So pastoring a church, you know, you, you would think sometimes, you know, like in America, the churches are not so big. So you would think that the church doesn't take time, but maybe then you are new. You are new, That is why you have such ideas. But every, if you have 20 people, if you have 20 complexities sitting there, I'm telling you. And because of that, and because of the things that we need to do, you can easily never think of souls, the reason why Jesus Christ came into the world to die on the cross. You will not even think about them because the people who have come to give their life to Christ already are enough. Wahala, before you go and add others and the church itself, to let the church exist and to grow, and it's enough to keep you busy till you die. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So I can understand. But but you see, one pastor was preaching and he said to his congregation, he said, look, when the Lord raised me up, he was explaining he's a pastor of a very big church. He said the Lord raised me up. I was nobody. I was in a classroom, I was beating tables. I had nothing, my corduroy trousers, my one pair of shoes and my shirts which are ironed until it was like a paper. No, the Lord has raised him up and he has become the a pastor of so many people and of so many churches. So one day he was preaching to his congregation and he told them, he said, I know that 99.99% of you will never become pastors or do anything. Church listen on there, he said. That there are nothing that is on me is going to come up on you to build a big company and a big business and a big business company. Yeah, yeah, because God raised him up from nothing and he has become so great and there must be some anointing and not some. There must be an anointing on his life to do what he's doing. But as he is fastering the people, he is recognising what every pastor recognises, that 99.99% of the people will never become pasted or do anything to the church for church. So he has now been forced to say to them that the anointing upon me is going to come on you to build a big family, a big business and and companies. Yeah. And. And it is also possible. It's possible because Bible says there's an anointing for wealth. So maybe that anointing is being used to create wealth. I don't know. I mean, I can't tell, but I can understand why a pastor would say that as he looks at the faces of uninterested people are interested in everything. We don't even like God. That's true. And we are in the chest and we don't want God. You know, there is a book that I read called When God Walked the Earth by Rick Joyner. In that book there is one statement which is the saddest statement in the whole book. It's a very sad statement. In that statement, Jesus came to Zebedee to visit Zebedee, who was the father of James and John, and when the Lord was talking to John or to Zebedee, none of them, he said to him that most people in the world don't know God, don't like God, and don't want God. They are not interested in God. And it's true even amongst us here. Many of us are not interested in God, really. It's true. But the truth sometimes is too much. So we need grace. That's why Jesus came with truth and grace, not just the truth. The truth is suddenly too harsh. We need grace to mix with the truth that life is vanity and that everything we are doing is useless. It's too hard for most of us to accept, so most of us don't even think about it and we just have different little goals that the truth truth, truth, truth truth is that it's useless. Messy. Are you there now? God is asking to what purpose? I read it to you, Is the multitude of your sacrifice like the things you are doing spiritually? What is the use of them? Like when we have churches? When we have churches we are playing with God and all the things that we are doing. What is the use of all the things that we are doing? It says I'm full because I'm full of the bent offerings and I don't delight in the blood of bullocks. Who has he said? Who has required this at your hand, and who has you to bring these things? Don't bring any more useless oblations, Huh. Don't bring any more useless oblations. Incense is an abomination. Incense. We always say incense is a worship. Is it not true? Just stop all those useless songs. You don't even mean it. You stopped meaning it long ago. Stop useless, useless incense. Lot of the songs we sing, we don't mean it. What are some of the songs that we sing? Thomas Thing. Give myself away. Hey, what song is I give myself away? Lord, I give you my heart. Lord, I give you my heart, I give you my soul. I live for for you alone. Every breath that I take, every moment I wait. Lord, have your way in me. I give you my heart. I give you my soul and I will live for you alone. Every breath that I take, every moment I'm away, Lord, have your way in be. This is my desire to us. Lord, with all my heart I worship you and all I have within me I give you pray and all that I adore. It's in you, It's in you thought I give you my heart. I give you my soul. I will live for you alone. Every breath that I take, every moment I'm away, Lord, have your way in me. Lord, I give you my heart, give you my soul. I will live for you while open every breath that I take, every moment I'm away. Oh yes, don't have your way in deep, have your way in deep low. Please have your way in me Lord, Have your way. Have your ways on. Have your way in. Me. Hallelujah. Is that what we mean? No, no, no, no, no at all, at all. Vain oblations, useless singing that we don't mean at all. I mean, it's, it's a very, very beautiful song and I wish it was true. And it's very anointed. That feeling that you feel when the song is being sung is the anointing. Yeah. And that is very beautiful and annoying. That is that is how it should be. That that it is not so. It is not so at all and I can prove it in just asking one question. I just ask one question followed by another question, then it will be over. You may think it's about sacrificing cows and but he says instance is an abomination. The new moons and the Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies to the meetings. I cannot away with it. Is that I can't stand it. The calling of assemblies. I cannot away away. I can't stand it. It is iniquity. Even the solemn meeting. Wow. Your new moons and your appointed feasts. These are conventions my soul hated. They are in trouble, and to me I am wearing to bear them. And when? When you spread your, when you spread both your hands, I will hide. When, when you are praising, when you are, what shall you lift your hands? I will hide my eyes on it. And when you make many prayers. Another Bible has come. I'll be looking the other way. No matter how long or loud or often you pray, I will not be listening. And you know why? Because you have been tearing people to pieces and your hands are bloody. Your hands are full of blood. Amen. Your hands are full of blood. Do you want your hands to be full of blood? Yeah. So this Short Partners conference is to wash out of our hands the blood of men. Amen. So that we will not be guilty of people's blood. Whether another church is saying so or not does not matter because that's what the Bible says. Except the Lord has left a small remnant. The whole church will be like totally useless. I mean, it's when you become like Sodom and Gomer, it's like nothing matters, just wipe them out. But God is not wiping us out. Sometimes the whole group is left because of one person. That's how God is because he said if you can find 5 righteous men, if you can find 10 righteous men, I will not destroy this if I couldn't find anybody. So when there is a small remnant, it makes God sometimes forgive and protect. That's why the Bible calls us the salt of the earth. You see salt. You see what does salt do? You have to travel to places where they cook without salt to understand the importance of salt. You see, one day I went to a 7th country and in that country there are a lot of Indians. So I went to the Indian part of the country. When I got there, I said, oh I like Curry, Curry. I like give me Curry. I saw the Madras Curry, vindaloo Curry, the different types. I know all of them. I know, I know Indian food. So I said give me this and that and they brought the food. But the only problem you see was that the whole food was without salt, especially the rice. Now you see, salt makes something palatable or acceptable, acceptable because otherwise you put your muscle. So the presence of Christians, the prayers of Christians, makes the world even tolerable for God to not just wipe out the whole world, which is full of wickedness. There's so much wickedness in the world. Yeah. Are you with me? So our presence is very important. Our presence, just one drop of salt, very small, but in a lot of rice, it's one drop of salt. It's enough for the thing to be tolerable. So I will eat you. I will eat you. Susceptible. Otherwise it's like rubbish. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So he says that your your hands are full of blood. And I'll tell you today that the church's hands are full of blood. You see now I am an evangelist also and being an evangelist has made me travel to many places in the in the world, especially in Africa and mostly in West Africa as I have gone. The first time I went to Senegal, well, the only time as I drove through, I said shame, shame, shame. Hey, a place abandoned by Christians, abandoned and forsaken by Christians. We are forsaken. Senegal, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, you will feel you'll bow your head like this. No entire countries has been left. There's no Christian did not see any church you would drive and there's no church. All the Christians have pulled out and the Christians have gone to America and anywhere else where there is money. And when they get to America and they say, Lord, I give you my hand, I give you my soul, I'll live for you alone. The one that says hello. If you like, watch some of the videos. Why people are worshipping. Hey, alone give you my heart. And with, you know. Oh, yeah, it's true. I'm telling you, you'll be sad. You will feel like a when. When I went to Senegal, the people there, the pastors were afraid to lift up their head. And when I preached and it, it forced me to preach messages that me myself helped me to understand my salvation. Yeah, I preached in the Dakar and I preached in Zig Insho. And I had I had to preach who was Jesus Christ? I had to preach why people believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And there's a mosque here, there's a mosque here. There's a mosque. Every people, I'm surrounded 200% mosque. Everybody sitting there is wearing an Islamic cup. Everybody. Yeah. The only time because of miracles. Yeah. That's where you will see the importance of miracles. Yeah, you may. You may laugh at somebody when he's doing miracles and he's taking a testimony and somebody says my head was painting. He's gone, Right. So you see that it's not a miracle, but I'll dare you to stand in Dakar. In Dakar and preach, see if you can preach. They remove all our television adverts from they call them immediately. Stop it, take it off. They took it. Remove all the banners, thought aloud. Everybody is a Muslim. They don't want it. I'm telling you so honestly, it is a shame. It's a shame on Christianity. All of us and many of you are from there. Many of you are from West Africa. We have, we have followed money rather than God and we have followed wealth for which God also says, OK, where do you pray? Who mind you and God doesn't make a lot of prayers. They are praying. I will not hear you because you are guilty. What is this? Your hands are full of blood. It doesn't mean you have made goat soup with blood and you put your hand in and you are holding the blood. That is not what it means. It's, it's symbolic, really means that you are responsible for the lives of the blood that have been shed of people who have lost their lives. That's what it means. It doesn't have any other means. It doesn't mean it's good soup of blood. Do you know good soup that they make with blood? What is it called? There's a type of blood soup or Stew that is made with blood. Do you know that, Andy? Yeah, I've seen, I've seen them making it before. They use blood. They cook their blood. You have that in Gambia too, Black Stew. Yeah, black Stew smells very nice. Wow. But you see God is now continuing to say in verse 16, wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes cease to do evil. You know people who come always with frightening dreams. I saw that you were dead. I saw that you were in a coffin. I saw that this has happened to you. I saw that this, let me tell you, why would God be telling you these dreams if you were supposed to die? He is giving you these dreams to pray about it. So you who have seen this dream, pray, does it. Don't come and be fighting everybody, because everybody gets fighting no matter who it is. Who says the dream? Even your watchman, if he tells you that he's had a dream that his master is dead, he'll be afraid. He's got a master, you understand? No matter who it is, don't be afraid. And once it's a dream, you'll be scared. So had a dream that you were dead. Hey, could it be that you are somebody whose dreams happen? So if you've been having all these dreams, pray about it. Amen. So God is not just frightening us out of our skins or rebuking us to go to hell, but he's telling us all these things to tell us to wash ourselves and make ourselves clean and put away the evil of our doings. The 17th And he says, learn to do well, learn to do well, we can do better. Amen. We can seek judgment, Hallelujah. We can relieve the oppressed people that are oppressed with demons, and we can judge the fatherless. There are many fatherless people who need pastors and we can plead for the widow. Hallelujah. Are you listening to me? Come now. Now God is saying I want to negotiate with you. Somebody like you. Why would God be negotiating with you, huh. Have you thought about it? Why would God negotiate with you? I don't know why, I don't know why. How many feel righteous? How many feel that you are bad? Raise your hand if you feel that you are bad. I won't. I won't open my eyes. So I do not understand why God would want to discuss or even reason with us that that's God is, is beyond our understanding. Because the God who is saying come, let us busy together is the same God who has in the last few verses been telling us how evil we are, that he doesn't even like our praises, our prayers and our worship. He doesn't like it. Now he's saying, OK, wash yourself, come and let's discuss and even let's negotiate. Let's negotiate with God, Hallelujah. And God is going to give you an offer and he's saying come, let us reason together. Do your sin. Be a scholar. They can be white as snow, and those may be red like Crimson. They shall be as wool. Now listen to the conditions. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. Now many people are in America and are not eating the good of the land. There is good in America. Many of us are not eating the good that is in America. We came, all right? We came. Yeah. We came by land, by Rd. by sea. You got here. But are you eating the good of the land? Yeah. Are you eating the good? Are you having the good part of the land? Are you enjoying the good of the land? You see? And he's showing you how to enjoy the good of the land. Because in every country there is good. If you don't know, I'm telling you in every country there is good. On Sunday I went to one of our branches to preach and I just raised funds for Healing Jesus Crusade. I had more than $50,000 just Sunday preaching one service. I just preached a branch, not a Kalash. I just preached one. Just 40 minutes. I didn't preach about money, preach about something else. And I said I didn't show them any video because the church was too bright. Show a video. Do you understand? I had no way of closing the windows or the doors, and I just took an offering. Yeah. I had more than $50,000 dollars, not CDs. Yeah. So. Yeah, U.S. dollars. So I'm telling you that there is good in every country. If you think there's there's good everywhere, there's evil everywhere. There are people who go to different countries, keep on moving from country to country, and each country you go, you eat the bad of that country. You keep getting the bad end of the stick. Yeah, you will eat the bad. And given 2 reasons #1 he said if you'll be willing and obedient. Obedience to the Lord is, you know, central to everything that you want to experience from God is obedience to the will of God. It's not about where you are. Every land has good. So those who are fixated, I must go to America, I must go to England, You are fixated on the wrong ideal. In fact, when I was once in England for a year, I encountered great poverty and hunger and I realised then other time I was in, I was in London, that if you will be poor, it will be better not to be poor there. You know, it's like prison. If you're going to go to prison, you must choose the right country to go to prison. Some places, honestly, a prison is not a good idea at all. Now, some places, the prison, they watch television, they send emails, they go to the gym, they do degrees, they go, they have courses, they have different things. Medical checkup, they have surgery. They are diagnosed of diseases that even they have, they would never have been treated. Yeah, they have. They have a right to what? Yeah, transplant surgery and they have a right to in vitro fertilisation. Yeah, I was reading the newspaper today that some prisoners are going to court because they are trying to block their rights to have IVF, in vitro fertilization. They want to have children through IVF, and they are blocking, They are fighting it. Yeah, right. Something that people who are outside free cannot afford. So the point that I'm making is that every they have congenial rights as well. Really, it's not that at all. So if you are willing and obedient, you enjoy the good of the land. Now. Kenneth Hagin loves to preach around this particular vest and he said one time he was in his ministry and he was not doing well and he complained to the Lord and he said, Lord, but I'm obedient, I'm doing what you said I should do. And the Lord said, yes, you are doing what I said, but they are not willing, they are not flowing. Yes, they are obedient, but you are not willing, You are not happy and flowing to do what you are doing. And that is why you are not being blessed in what you are doing. It's like they are doing it grudgingly and unwillingly that you are doing it. It's like, what did they say I should say? What did they say I should say? Have I told you that story before? I'll tell you again. There was a certain man who had a certain wife, and the wife was and the wife and her husband were having a big quarrel. So the family members came around and they discussed with them and in the end they decided that the wife was at fault and they were sitting in a big circle. So then they said to the wife that she should. Well, are you the wife? Are you the. I don't appreciate that. OK. OK, so then they decided that the wife should apologize and that she should go round and apologize to everybody and to apologize to her husband. So she went round like this. She shook hands, she shook hands, she shook hands. And when she got to the husband, she shook hands out. Then she turned to the people and said, Mina Kereke, which means, what did they say I should say? What did they say I should say? Now it was the husband who was telling me the story. The husband was telling me the story. And he told me that when somebody tells you something like that, tell me to apologise. And you tell me what did they say? I should say it means it's not a real apology from your heart. You are just obedient, but you are not willing. You are obedient, but you are not willing. And he threw that wife out of the house. Yeah. He threw the wife out and and got himself another one. Yeah, a willing wife. Now some of you wives, you deserve to be thrown out. Sure. Long time ago, you deserve to be thrown out now when I'm preaching, don't speak back. When I'm preaching, don't speak from your corner because I'm a I'm a pastor and I'm a Bishop and I can mention so many things that I am. So when I'm preaching, don't speak back from there. And if it affects, I have no apologies. I'm speaking about women or whatever. That's all. I've been in the ministry for some time. What I'm saying, So don't speak from that corner. I hear, I hear them. Hey, some of you deserve to be thrown out long time ago. But The thing is that you married a Joseph. The Joseph never says what the problem is especially in public. That's a Joseph husband. He will never he will never expose you and you are just lucky that you have married Joseph. You should thank God but there are some unfortunate sisters who marry non Joseph husband. Yeah, they marry non Josephs, Yeah, who will not stand for certain things, just they will just not take it if if if if you're.
