Welcome to track #10 of Why are you not a missionary? 11 ways to be a missile number one to be a missile is to. Be a rocket. Is to be a rocket. Now, a rocket is something that goes furthest to the uttermost out of space, to the outer space. And you see, God is raising our people who are going to go as rockets. Very, very. Far, so far. And it will take so long. It takes Pastor Peter 24 hours to come. It's true. 24 hours. 23 hours flight from here to Australia, from London to Australia. 23 hours. He's a rocket. He must be a rocket. You see, we have. 5. Areas to be a missile is to be a projectile. Yeah, projectile that have been, that have been launched out. We are, we are not interested in statues. We are interested in rockets, projectiles #3 is to be a missile is to be an arrow. The Bible describes us as arrows. Say a father is blessed to have arrows in his quiver, and the arrows are the children that he has given birth to. They will defend him in the gates. Yes, arrows. I am not interested in having paintings on my wall. I want. Arrows that I shoot, I point you and I shoot you. Have you watched Rambo? It's a Mackinac film. Rambo has some special arrows with. Something at the tip. Have you seen that? And you do like this and then you that thing will go, yeah, it's it's to be an arrow. It's something that is going to go and destroy the enemy. We, we, we are the church. Is is a place to develop arrows? To be a missile is to be a bullet and #5 to be a missile. Is to be a dat whose. Agent thing is this Agent Clarence, now that is the shortest one. So if you are at that. It means just from Apache to Tottenham or Apache to Stratum to Bournemouth and a short one. Then the bullet is going further projectiles and the rocket goes the furthest. Now when we talk about these things, you see how many want to be part of God's end time earning. I'm not talking about being a Sunday school teacher. I'm not talking about making Donuts. I'm not talking about sausage rolls. I don't need sausage rolls. I can just buy just around. Here I don't need you to make sausage roll when I can just buy some. Just here. We're talking of rockets. How many want to be spiritual rockets? That is why you see God as God has blessed. Us, we are developing these 55 projectiles, arrows, dots, bullets and rockets. And the Rockets are the ones going to South America. That's why we sit here and we plan. We see Chile, Chile, We see Bolivia. And we said Bolivia, we will never. Leave you alone, we are not tired. We are, we have energy, we are coming there, we are aiming, we are aiming. Look, when Hitler came into power 1933, he came into power in 1933, he became the chancellor like how Hamoto became the chancellor in Germany. And they say what? OK, sit down. They cannot see. Sit down, sit down. 1933 Hetzler became the Chancellor of not exchequer, chancellor of Germany. Now, when he did, the whole country was in a turmoil. They were. There's a lot of political problem. And also, what do you call it in poverty? So he started a new drive to bring the country up. Is there a problem? OK. And when he did, he started arming Germany. So they started a massive production of arms, tanks, planes. And all the countries around sat down, never imagining that somebody like Hitler would do something like what he was going to do. So the country next door to them was Poland. And in the Second World War, about 27 million Polish people were killed. Yeah. And Germans about 25, 20 something million, only 500,000 British were killed in the Second World War. And I thought there's so many more, but of the 50 million, it was something like that. So Poland suffered a great deal maybe I get the figures from, but there were 20 something million. A lot of people died there. So what happens is that when somebody is going to fight, he there is no successful war without successful industries, that the war goes with industry, industrial preparation of the equipment that you are going to need. All right, So you prepare tanks and everybody didn't do that. So by the time Hitler started, England and all the other countries didn't have anything they didn't have. But that is why post Second World War all the countries have armed themselves heavily and they ignore any idea that I shouldn't arm as they are heavily armed. Everybody is heavily armed. France is heavily armed to fight with Germany, to fight with Iraq. Everybody learnt it from this thing about Hitler because when Hitler Hitler came into power 1939, first of September 1939 he invaded Poland and that started the Second World War because the first he annexed a certain region around next Austria and so on and a certain region around Poland, I believe then the Zodating parts of Poland. But then he invaded properly 1st of September and that's one triggered of the second war. They all declared war, but there was nothing they just ruled in by June he was in Paris. He just to every Europe. Nobody was thinking about war. Do you understand? Nobody had anything like what he had. And Paris they. Just they just. Surrendered so that there will be no bombing of Paris other than that bombed the Eiffel Tower and all those, all the cathedrals, everything would have been flattened. So we surrender. So he just drove in and 1:00 early morning, he flew in himself and went on a tour around Paris. Hitler himself, he went around early in the morning, he went to visit the museum, Eiffel Tower, this, that, and he said, oh, the art of Germany is superior to the art in France and just went on a tour and nobody expected him. He drove around the whole of Paris and then he went out after concrete like a conqueror. That was Hitler. But the point I'm trying to make is that it is only people who are thinking of war, who think of developing bullets, arrows, projectiles, missiles, rockets and so on. Do you understand? And so we are thinking of war. Are you thinking of war? And I mean spiritual war? And so we are developing bullets. You are the bullet that we are developing. We are developing projectiles. We are developing rockets, we are developing arrows. We are developed. That's what we are training all the time. That's why we are having a camp. We are not having a camp to shout and dance and jump around. Well, we are serious. We are young, we are impressionable, but we are also serious. We are dead serious. How many are serious? Hey. You see, the people think that we are young, so we are just joking. They don't know. If we were joking, we would have said it when we were dancing and we if we were joking, we would have said it as we are saying the 10 branches, 9 branches. As if we are. Joking. We had a camp once and that camp was called 1000 micro churches. It sounded like a dream to have 1000. Now we have 1100 and something churches or 1200 and something churches. So. When we are joking. When we are joking, we will do what? You said that we are joking that this. One is a joke. Are you joking? Are you a joker? You may be young, I'm very impressionable, but you are not joking. Are you joking? Is joking? Are you joking? Serious. So you are an agent? The camp is not free. It's not as though you are being forced to come here. You don't live here. Today is one day, Wednesday. All serious minded people are in lecture rooms. Are in school, are at work. And here you are, I. Mean it cannot. Be that you must be joking, JP Morgan. I don't expect you are JP Morgan. So you must be serious to to be here. You must be very serious to be here. You know you cannot just because it's not even like it's free. You are. Pay pay to come, pay to come here. You pay to travel, you pay to stay. You pay commitment fee to become a bullet, an arrow, a rocket. Chavez. #8 number six, if you say something is a missile, this number six it means. It is a self. Propelling device a missile. It's a self. Propelling device. So you see these are the word missionary, missile, mission. It all has the same meaning. But when you look at what it really means, then you get the understanding, one goes that I sent you on a mission. It means I sent you as a missile. It means I sent you as a self propelling device. Now a self propelling device means that you have to constantly speak to yourself. You have to encourage yourself. That's why you need the Machiner. Because it's like it's. Not as something from somebody is telling you as you soak it in that you yourself are possessed. I said you are what possessed. Yeah, you yourself, you see this pastor who died, you know, as I was talking with his wife and I realized that even though I had sent him, I was just an agent sort of making a courtesy. And a missionary is a missionary is what someone sent. By a church. If you say someone is a missionary, it means he has been sent. Abroad by a church. To do religious and social work, yeah. So why we say somebody is a missionary or a missile and and you say that? It's a self propelling. You just need a church to send you. So when you go, you don't say that. Oh, I mean, I'm an independent bullet. There must be a gun that that was triggered off. You don't have a bullet just be moving around like that. It's a mysterious bullet, which is a straight which gun shot you if you are an arrow, which bow, whose bow? You can't just. Be a flying. Just on your own. But a missile is a self. Propelling device. So I realized that even. As I was saying, he wanted to go, he was going. It was like. I just. Need something to. Yeah, I was. Just a catalyst, yes, the next one is the 20 tenth. Meaning if you say someone is a missionary, it means. He has a desire. To convert people to his own beliefs. Amen. So you see. What I'm sharing with you, you, you are becoming. Self propelling, you see. That's why. People were asked, people were asked you that is it your own decision? Is it your own decision? Are you self? Propelled. Is there a self? Propelling something in you, something in you is moving you. Now we have to even control. So can you please go down every. So Please wait a bit. Relax. Thank you. Relax, relax. Relax. Please, Please, Please, Please, please, please. Hey, it's better to have a horse that wants to run and a horse that doesn't want to run. You have to beat it. Beat it. Beat it, beat it. Are you listening to me? Hey, self propelling. I'm not being propelled by money, I'm not being so nobody is forcing you to do anything. Self propel #7 If you say something is a missile, it means it is an object thrown as a weapon, thrown as a weapon, or fired from a gun. At a. Target. If you say something is a missile, it means it is an object thrown as a weapon at a target. How many have seen some targets? close your eyes and see your target. Now. Are you seeing some targets? See, some of you, when you came, you didn't understand why are you not a missionary? You have to be thrown at a target like Paul was thrown at Venezuela. We saw it on the map and we threw a weapon at the Venezuela on the map. And now I've seen Chile, I've seen Bolivia, I've seen Paraguay. I'm seeing more towns in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Barranquilla, Bogota, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico. Which other country? Tell me Guatemala. El Ecuador. I will see. It on the map and I will say you I'm sure you are this target go yeah straight rockets, long range Philippines. It's fantastic #8 ask your neighbor are you self-propelled or something is forcing you? #8 if you say something is a missile, it means it is designed to be thrown forwards, thrown forward. In Ghana we had a political party, we are moving forward. That's how they're saying we are moving forward, but they ended up moving backwards. But you are designed, you see, a bullet or a missile is not designed to go backwards. Do you think England has got nuclear warheads that are designed to go back into Parliament House in England? So how come is it that? Some of you are projectors and bullets that are designed. You are. Reversing back deeper into the church. When you are intended to be thrown outwards, sorry. Why are you not a missile? Why are you not? Self-propelled. Moving forwards, keep moving. Brother, don't stop if. You want to. If you want to stay with God, don't stop when you. Stop the cloud will be somewhere. And then a senior pastor has to come up to you and tell you he left about 20 minutes ago just. Round up. Just round. Up this message and get out of here #9 if you say something is a missile, it means it is. Like a. Rocket with an exploding warhead an exploding warheads. I see an anointing in you with exploding. Warheads of conventional or. Nuclear explosives which may be ballistic or directed by remote control. Please, this is a very important one, right? If you say something is a missile, it means it is like a rocket with an exploding warhead of conventional. Or. Nuclear explosives, which may be ballistic or directed by remote control. Ballistics is the study of the movement of objects that are shot or thrown through the air. Now write this down. If someone goes ballistic. If something goes ballistic, If something goes ballistic, what it means is that it suddenly becomes very much greater or more powerful, often in a surprising or unwanted way. So when you are a ballistic missile, it means you are someone who suddenly becomes much greater or more powerful, often in a surprising way. So when God is sending you as a ballistic missile, it means you are going to become very much greater or more powerful, often in a surprising or unwanted way. The devil does not want you to become like that. Is it not amazing? Is it not amazing Ballistic? Tell your neighbor I'm going ballistic now. I am becoming more powerful and much. Greater in a surprising. Way. Asha Bala. Bose de Bala. Abbas La Meroles I received a ballistic anointing to move through the atmosphere in a surprising. Way How many are going to be good surprises? The first time that I began to surprise people, I've been a surprise to a lot of people. It's true, I can tell you even I know. People are surprised. At me, at what I'm doing in the ministry. The first time I became a surprise was when I did my Common entrance in 1975. No one thought that I would do. No, no, no one thought I wasn't like anybody who was doing well in the school and I, I had my score was 296, Common entrance at 296. That was the fair surprise. God has designed you to be to go ballistic. To be ballistic means to surprise people and suddenly become more powerful. People don't really expect much from you. We're expecting something different, Anna. You see a certain. Brother, he wanted to marry a certain sister. But he had. Not met her before so he had only seen her picture. So she travelled and she came. Now when she came, and her brother. Saw her She was quite a big fat lady and the the brother was surprised she arrived ballistically. So when? When? When he saw her? When he saw her, when she saw. Him. And she looked at him, and she saw the surprise. On it, she said. Oh, and I was. Like something? Different than her. Who expected something different? Allah? It's like, were you expecting something different? Or tell your neighbor. Who expected something different? Allah. I mean, she he was. Not expecting something like that. So he was expecting something. Were you expecting? Something different. Were you expecting a slim person? Were you expecting? A beauty queen. And what were you expecting? What were you expecting? We expected something different. You were expecting an antelope. And a hippopotamus came. We're expecting something different now, people. Are going to say that about you? Now I was expecting. Something different, but now I'm seeing. Some ballistic powers. I wasn't expecting you to be a preacher. No, no, no, no. I thought you would be a permanent Sinner. Forever and ever. I never knew that you would. Start. I never knew that you would start. What? 4 branches, 5 branches, 6 branches, 8 branches, 9 branches 10. Branches we were. Expecting something different? You. You were not expecting from me to be a pasta, isn't it? Tell your neighbour you you were not expecting. Tell your lever is the truth. Tell the truth, Tell the truth. How's your liver? Who expected something different, didn't it? Who expected something different than none? Oh. One branch, 2 branches, 3 branches. Tell your neighbor neighbor. When you saw me. You were expecting something different. Tell the truth. But now. But now 2 branches, 3 branches. Look, I see certain rockets going far. There is no way that will be too far. There will be no mountain too high. That you cannot. Cross it, no river. That you cannot swim across. Tell your neighbor neighbor. Who expected something different? Something different? Tell your neighbor neighbor you were expecting a fornicator. Tell your neighbor neighbor. You were expecting a fornicator, but I. But I but I was a church planter. I was a church planter. Branches 3 branches 5 branches 5 Branches 6 branches. Say your neighbor neighbor. You were expecting a liar. Tell the truth, but. Instead of a liar, a chest to attack him and you are not surprised who expected something different than. Ballistic. I say I'm going ballistic. I am going ballistic. Ballistic, ballistic.

So when she put her arm down. It's like this. So. She asked. The man was like an. Antelope, so she. Asked the man who? Expected something different. You didn't know I was so powerful. You see, people are not expecting. They they, they don't know that you are a wild teacher. They don't know about the anointing of your life. They don't know that you are a career. You are carrying the violence, the anointing presence, the power, the gifts, the presence, the allotment, the actions hush and and and and they. Never knew that you could go ballistic, see? A girl. A girl like you. A girl like you, they look at you a young. Girl and then they. They write you off. Not important, not important. Not important. Not important, Not important. But they didn't know. There is something. Called ballistic. I said ballistic. It means a surprise, a surprise. I see you surprising one day. I was going to appreciate a wedding. And the couple's parents sent a message. To the bride's. Groom and the message was your pastor. Who is coming to? Officiate. Is he powerful? When I had it. I was afraid because I have not officiated a wedding before. Yeah, I don't. Know what they were expecting? I was expecting something different. I was expecting something different. And then I came. And then I came a surprise. Surprise. One day a certain man, he had a lot of horses. He used to send his horses to the racecourse and then he had a lot of children and a lot of horses. One day his wife grew older. She was now 40 something years old, but he had not left her because he still liked her. So one day. His wife came to him. And told him I have a surprise. Hey. I am going to have a baby. In my old age, so she gives. Birth to that baby. And the man was so happy that his wife had given birth in her old age. So one day he came to the stable and said, I'm coming to name some of my horses.

When I was in school, no one appointed me to be a prefect. It was a disgrace. If you come from from 1:00 to from 5:00 and then in sixth form, you are not chosen. That's all we do remember, is it? Was it not a disgrace? A disgrace? I was disgraced. I had a certain. Friend, he wanted to be the prep prefect and he was not given.
