Welcome to track #10 of Give thyself holy. OK the next important area that I need you to give yourself holy to is what exactly the Bible is saying right there. It says in festing with each chapter 4 verse, the spirit speaketh esperously that in the latter time some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. So the next important thing is that you must give yourself wholly to overcoming devils, all kinds of devils and evil spirits. All right. Yeah. Now, there are two main ways by which devils have afflicted human beings. All right. Are you there? 2 main ways, and there's still the two main ways. OK, OK, you want to know the two main ways And so you have to, you have to watch these two things. Give yourself to watching these two main areas by which evil spirits have entered into our midst. OK, now the first way is the more commonly accepted and understood way. The second one is more fantastic, and because it's more amazing and fantastic, people prefer the first one. People prefer to understand the first one. They don't like thinking about the second one. You understand? You don't understand. I'm saying that there are two main ways, but the first one that I'm sharing about is more sort of accepted because it's easier to understand or it's easier to accept. But the second way by which evil spirits affect us is like, it's a way that people don't want to think about. Do you get it? So the first way is found in Isaiah 14. He says, How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer? The sun of the morning? How art thou cut to the ground, which did weaken the nations? For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend, I will exalt, I will sit also I will ascend above the height and I will be like the Most High. OK, so the first way is pride, making us proud. Now that is why it is easier for me to preach to you when you are young because you are you are younger. So you are less proud because you are conscious of the fact that you are not old. So it makes you a bit cooler. But as you get older, you become more sure of yourself and you feel that, Wow, I've been around for some time, this and that and that and that. I know this message. Is it give thyself holy or I know give thyself holy. It's about this and that and that. You know everything you see. So but when you are younger, you, you don't feel, you know, OK, by the way, Satan does it. He comes in and this is the spirit of Satan to make you big. I will ascend. I will be big. I will arise. All right. But because this is like a kind of spiritual thing, we are more easily able to accept it. So the first way Satan spirits are going to come to you to try to change you is to make you proud. OK, but even this one, you get a sign or a hint of the second one, because he says they that see thee in the 60s, I'll narrowly look on thee and consider thee saying, is this the man that made the earth tremble? That is Sheikh kingdoms. So here again, you see the concept that Satan could become a man, a real man, and be walking amongst us. Yes, to do things and to say things. I I believe that some people are not people. Yeah, because he said, is this the man? And somebody should remind me in case I forget to tell you that how can you know when you are dealing with, I mean, like a man who is not a man? Yeah, Now this is the first way. So try always to belittle, try to be a child always try to be small, always even businesses have been taught. I read a book called how are the might how the mighty fall. It's a business book. 4 Reasons why mighty and great companies, organizations fall. One of the reasons is hubris born of success. Hubris is pride born of success. Because you are successful, you develop hubris. It's another word for pride. Yeah. So whether it's a company, a human being, a pastor, it comes to the same thing. Hubris born of your success makes you big and proud. Juicy. Yeah. OK, so try to remember, this is the first infiltration of the devil amongst us. And even here he's mentioning that he's coming as a man. The second cause of all our problems, OK, is unfortunately through lust. MMM, That's through lust. Genesis chapter 6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair, and they took them wives of all. And the Lord said, No, no, no, no, no, my Spirit shall not always thrive with man, for that he is also flesh. And there were giants in the earth in those days. Alright, OK, OK. If I use, if I use the NIV, which is a Bible that is anti supernatural things, you know, they have an anti supernatural stance. So sometimes you even see more things because of their outstanding. There's 4. The Nephilim were on earth in those days and also afterwards when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old. All right. Man of renown. Amen. Now, here we see the other introduction of evil to man, and that is through the lustfulness of angels. Are you with me? Demons are there are two types of angels, angels and fallen angels. You get it. Those are evil spirits, fallen angels, and they are, they are the danger for us today. OK, How are they dangerous to us in the same way that they were dangerous to those people. Now the Bible says that they there were Nephilim, isn't it? The Nephilim were on earth. Now the word Nephilim is a Hebrew word which the King James has translated giants. But actually it's not giants, it's Nephilim, which means a fallen one. Do you see Nepal? It means to fall in a great variety of applications, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall prostate, to fall upon. Alright, so the falling ones were on the earth in those days. Do you get it? The fallen angels were on the earth in those days and also afterwards. So there are fallen angels that have come to the earth. Oh, you don't get it. And they also write, what did they do? These fallen angels afterward, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and bear children. OK, so these fallen angels or fallen beings were on earth when the sons of God came and came to the daughters of men and had relationships with them that they shouldn't have had. And through the relationships other beings were brought forth, half human, half demon, half half, half fallen Angel. So the presence of fallen angels is a reality. OK, now you may ask how, how can we know these spirits are here? They are present, they are present and they are present you see, because what what we have, we know how man was created in the beginning. God made heaven and he created man. What about evil? Where, where was evil created? When did when did they come and where did they come from? This is the question, the origins of evil. Do you understand that? Where are these things from? Where are all the bad things from the bad spirits? And so the Bible is giving us how they came, OK, they came and the fallen ones. We also know that Lucifer fell from heaven with his angels, you see. So when whoever fell, whenever they felt there were angels that fell. So there are angels that seem not to be restricted in hell. That's why when they saw Jesus are you come to torment us before the time So they they don't seem to be restricted all right. And they are out there to attack human beings and the first way in Genesis was through lust. They came to the women and the women flowed with them. Do you understand now? Don't think so. You you must be careful. Some people you meet are not human beings. And before you realize you are sleeping with somebody. It's not a man and it's not a woman. Like that story I told you about the man who was sleeping with the fish. Now I don't know why Christians develop antennas and allergies when they hear something fantastic like a spirit is sleeping with you because how was Jesus brought into this world? A spirit came on Mary and Jesus was was born. That's why we believe it easily. So I don't know why you are finding it difficult to believe that spirits, angels can come to men and have something to do with them and give birth to something. I don't know why you find that one difficult, but you find it easy to think of Jesus, the Holy Spirit coming on Jesus, and then a pregnancy coming out of that. Wow. Now how can you know whether a person that you've met is a spirit? I think it's an important question. How many would like to have the answer? I can give you the answer. Shall I give you the answer? All right, it's not a problem. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. The key to an Angel, whether falling or non falling, is that the person is a stranger. After we've been with Priscilla for some time, we are sure that she's not an Angel. That's true. After some time we know her father, we know her mother. So those of you who are always attracted to new people, like total strangers, it's like, oh, second carry final, you are the ones who are in great danger of having something to do with a fallen Angel. I said, oh, fallen Angel. I don't think any fallen Angel. Paul said the women should have their hair covered because of the angels, and it was in danger to the ladies. Yeah, They need protection. Yeah. And. And he also said if anyone comes to preach anything, even an Angel, let him be cursed. So there are angels which preach? Yeah. Is any Angel, anybody come to preach even an Angel from here, let him be a cursed. Is there anything else apart from what I'm saying? Yeah, so through lust and through pride, evil spirits have come to spoil everything that we have. So watch out and give yourself to humility so that you will be a humble person all the time. Amen. Pray for humility every day and humility is not going to be now that you are sitting down humbly when something is happening. You know I was talking to some guy, he said oh because you are my father. I said I'm your father. I said am I your father or your brother? Because what I'm saying you will not do it because yourself has come and you are annoyed. So you are manifesting fully. So you can't tell me your father about your father. I'm your brother or I'm a Mickey Mouse or something. Oh, you don't understand the question. Yeah. So evil spirits are all around seeking whom he may devour. They are looking for somebody to see who can I enter and affect. So the second area you must watch out is sex. That is why forbidding to marry. You see, at a point having sex is like wiwing or poo pooing is a physiological activity. So when somebody comes and forbids you to urinate, you see, it's putting you in a difficulty and in a very strange circumstance which is abnormal, which will lead to other things. You'll be walking in time. Realize that. Look, I have to we we and I'm going to we here now you just stand and you just stand and it's like it's coming. Yeah, It's like I shall have women have women. That's it. It's just it's just it's just come. So when somebody comes and says no defecating in this church, no defecating, if I remember, don't defecate till next week. That that that is, that is how it is like when this same spirit come and live. No Marine, you're putting the people in a very strange circumstance which will lead to ABBA pervasions. Yeah, all you see first laughed People as urinated over there as urinated over self here as pupud over there is feeling busy from the Constipation. So yeah, we in first lab we have been banned from going to the toilet for the last two weeks. We don't go so evil spirits are constantly looking at these two areas if they can inflate your mind and make I believe that's why God brought me to the first lab chair to come and be in the cafeteria right back to my beginning because if it's about the church, all the things that can be done in the church. Likewise we've done them. But it's like look, come back to the what is that Chapel called Ligong Ho Chapel and be there with the chest tattoo all over. Yeah, start and be down there. Do you see Come and Do rehears us again? Musical rehearsals form another choir. Yeah. Talk to new converts. All these things are stopped doing them. I wonder would I even see any new converts? But now I say, if you don't see me, don't go home. Yeah. So humility when you are following is always trying to just cool you down and bring you to 0 so that you are safe from this spirit that Satan is a spirit of pride. His mouth is full of. I will sit, I will be great. I'll have this. I'll be this, I'll be this. I'll be I will arise. God is always helping you. Don't arise. Don't be anything. Don't have anything. Don't do anything. Just be a Christian. Submit them through. Submit them. Be humble, cool, relax. Yeah, and that's why you must have a pastor, even when you are grown up. And then last, if you don't, if you joke with it, you will be a serial fornicator, you will be an abortionist, you will be gay. You will be a serious child. Child here, child here, child here, child here, child here. You will be everything that there is. You sleep with your cousin, you sleep with your sister. You sleep with your brother. You sleep with your auntie wearing clothes on her way to your goat. That is the goat. You know, after that drama you people did last week. So one of my, one of the church members was telling me, he said that she was the patient came, she came to see that the doctor, I don't know whether she was seeing the doctor, said he didn't know where to go. I said that the husband wakes up every night and you see that he goes out. So she was, well, where does he go? So she decided to follow him. He gets up every night, goes to have sex with the dog, then comes back to the bed every day. Yeah, they are real things. So it's it's a real, it's a real thing. You may think that the real thing, all the things are in the Bible, don't sound or look so because the person next to you may have done. You let the person feel bad. You let the person feel so bad. It's like everybody is amazed. Now the person who is sitting by you have done one before. Don't look too amazed. It's not nice to be too amazed. So I want to encourage you to strengthen yourself against evil spirits and these are the two major invasions. The entry of the spirit of pride that has made Satan told that Eve, you will be independent. When we take independence in Ghana, is he or independent, let's say in another country, not Ghana country somewhere. You see that? Yes, any other country, you see that really the independence is actually nothing but a manifestation of pride, you see, because you are not able to rule yourself, you know you haven't been able to. Some countries have been independent for 50 years, but they cannot join 2 towns. No, not Ghana, not Ghana. Ghana is different. I'm talking about another country, 2 cities, you see you cannot join them if we are to give Graves ABCDE for leadership. That country I'm talking about, not Ghana, would not get more than E for all the leaders we have had, whether they went to Harvard or they went to whatever, they are the poorest kind of leader anybody can ever have. The lowest grade is like having a cook who can, who cannot cook. It's like having a driver who cannot drive. He drives into the post. It's like having a a Doctor Who, who, who, who didn't pass his exam. And it's not really a doctor or having a dentist who will just, I mean, destroy your mouth. Look at what I'm saying. That that country I'm talking about, no, which is not Ghana, please make Rd. is not Ghana. That country. Do you understand? The evidence of it is that there's no water in their capital city. They don't have electricity, no lights, no roads. Almost the whole capital city has no roads. And they call themselves leaders, but they are actually the poorest version of a leader that anybody could ever be unfortunate enough to have super imposed on them, whether by democracy or by revolution or by whatever. And the evidence is not by somebody's grading system. It's by what we have and what we don't have after 50 years of sad people being superimposed on them. So a lot of what we are calling independence is actually pride. It's just pride. We are on our own, that's all. Whether we live or die, we are on our own. But I'm not talking about Ganga, you know? There is a country the the lowest grade, the lowest grade. See, that is why I remember you, some people walking on a person. White people walk on a plane and they saw a black person was the pilot. A black man is a pilot for white people. I don't know whether they were in South Africa. Which country is the black man is coming to, to, to, to, to carriers, to the place where there will be no roads, there will be no security, there will be armed robbers everywhere. There will be no lights, there will be no water. There will be bad schools, there will be poor educational system. Four years, three years, no gun. I'm not talking about gun. I'm not talking about there will be rigging of rigging of elections, rigging of what you call everything. Whatever drugs that you take is not a drug. Everything but that country is fantastic. So it's just pride because if we are humble and say, you know, our currency cannot work, can we use your currency like all Ghanaians who know how much we are really earning? Yeah. But as we are sitting there, you see that in Ghana for instance, the exchange rate, which is the best indicator. Never listen to the financial reports what the Minister of Finance or anything sale. Only look at one thing, the exchange rates. When it changes, you know that somebody is good. You cannot control exchange rate, no lie, because it's foreign, it's outside when they come and say your city is not worth much. So that's the real Minister of Finance is the foreign exchange rates is the real Minister of Finance. He is the one who should listen to the foreign exchange, not what determined speeches they are giving up. So brothers and sisters, pride is what have made the country a wilderness, Yes, a wilderness. Pride have made us a wilderness. We were to humble ourselves and say we've tried it for 58 years. We cannot rule ourselves. We are incapable, hopelessly incompetent, hopelessly incompetent and fatally deficient. Remember when people break away from churches, usually it's a spirit of pride. I don't need you and you don't need me. One pastor told me. He said I don't need you, you don't need me. Yeah, watch all those things you said, oh God has spoken to me. That Holy Spirit spoke to me to start a church and you know, account. My spirit is not at rest anymore. It's a new day. Somebody I will see a prophecy. Somebody usually you see they are strong, big pass up whatever till something will come. Something will come from the side. Come and you watch with time, but you see when they start to see their strong beings like Taniere. God has spoken this and that that and that pride is the spirit of Satan. So many of these churches are organized and started by Satan Satanic inspirations. I'm telling you to divide. Bible says watch them. That cause divisions amongst you. Yeah, watch them. They've come to divide the flock, divide the congregation's attention. Say that this one is a leader. This one is not a leader. Watch them. A lot of them is satanic. Yeah, and the fruit of it is satanic. It scatters the members. People don't go to either this church or that church. They just go into the system and cast all churches and die and sometimes go to hell. So what are those of you who have a spirit of independence? You come one day and say Spirit of God and soul, make sure that it's the Holy Spirit. But usually the Holy Spirit is taking the blame for people's pride when they are proud and full of themselves. This is when you are proud, you are strong, but what is it? One person said I don't need you. He told me I was in his house. He said I don't need you and you don't need me. I don't need you and it's not true. He needs me, and I also need him. He needs me and I need him. How do you say don't need me? I mean, why do you say that? Is it right? Then he said walk out, go, go out of. You know, how do you tell a pastor who is somebody who appointed as if I walk out of my house? Yeah. And the one who led him to Christ. I mean, who prays? Close your eyes like how I LED Prophet Takra to Christ. I was with the pastor who led that gentleman to cry. He said we should walk out of his house. Not what they said, what I was there practically experiencing. Go out. Not that they said it. I was there. He said go, I don't need you. You don't need me. You tell me that my church is a cow after you have benefited from the church for five years. What has failed you to describe me as describe this church as a cult, and then you send me characteristics of a cult, the characteristic of a cult that they teach on loyalty. It's not easy to leave the church when you leave. Hey, how? Why should it be easy to leave your church? It should be very difficult to leave your church because the church is a family. The church is a tree, the church is a garden, the churches is a house. How can it be easy to leave a tree that you are part of, or a garden that you are part of or a tree that you are part? It cannot be easy to leave it. But it's the spirit of pride. You hear them talking big, speaking big words. God has called me spirit as I saw in a vision, and they come with visions, visions, dreams. God spoke to me this and that and that. Say wow. So watch out. Don't follow proud people. Now, if you follow a proud person, you have been welded to his future disasters. He's going to get into a disaster, but you have been welded. I have been welded, joined to the future calamity that is coming to him. So don't follow proud people. Somebody who is insulting his father, the church that brought him up, the pastor that anointed him, prayed for him, laid hands on him. You are now annoyed and speaking big and powerful things. Sally, watch out for such people. And these are things that will happen. It's just a matter of time. Those who are dark, I know that lighthouse is just made-up of easily impressionable people. And and what these people are easily impressed, impressionable and young and easily impressionable. Should we not be easily impressed with the word of God? When, when, when we are hearing the word and we are, are we not supposed to be easily impressed, impressed with God's word and to be happy with Christ? What's your problem? Yeah, me. I became a pastor as a young person. I wasn't a pastor as an elderly person. I was a pastor when I was young, full of energy and zeal. And I tell you that when I say that these are the two things, two spirits that are coming, pride and lust. Yeah. They are the entrance of Satan into the Kingdom. To tell other Nanis, you can have your independence from God. You will not need God from now. You will be a God yourself. You will be God. Stand up. You will be God. You will not need God. You will be like a God and you will be just like God. You will know everything. Hey, I will need him. Give me this independence. The independence has its roots in Lucifer, in Satan. Yeah. I will need you. I will not depend. Look, you will depend on somebody and tell you that even when you are dead, somebody has to carry you. You know that when you are dead, they bath you. Yes, somebody has to bath you. Lift your arm like this. Wash here, put it down. Lift another one, Wash it. Lift your leg, wash you and bath you and dress you. Yeah. And comb your hair. Yeah, Even when you are sick. Listen, I don't need you. You don't need you always need somebody. Everybody needs. You are no exception. So stop thinking to yourself that because, because, because I have arrived at this place, I don't need anybody now. No, don't think that way. You will always need. And it's always good to relate. Always. Yeah, always when you are grown up. Grown up, whatever. You saw me in the newspaper the other day, right? Yeah. You know why you saw me there? Because on Sunday when I was going to church, I decided let me just call and say hello to him as I was going to church. So when I called and said look, I'm having this program this morning, can you come? I said I have church, so try and come. I said OK, I just called and said I was driving on my way to 1st service. I was late. I was let me call him to say hello when I go. So come, come. That's why I can't come this time. So try OK, I said I'll see if I can come. So I went then I saw no Monday. I'm graphic in the one page. Wow. So you see, not even as not even deciding you get when I'm saying that Oh, it's like I'm I'm here. You are there, I'm this and you are also there. It is. I will not need you be a God and you wouldn't need me and I wouldn't need you. Hey goodness, I wouldn't need you because because I'm big and you wouldn't need me because you are also big. It's not true. You will need me. I will need you to the last day of your life. Take it from me, the last day of your life till you finish. If you are humble, you will always realize that, but when you start to separate yourself, there was a beast, beast which are essential. I happen not the Spirit who suspect themselves. What did you say? I know what I'm doing now. You know, when I was in First Life Church, I was a young person. Now I've been through a lot of things. There are a lot of things that I know. You know, Bishop, what I'm talking about, you've never experienced before. You are a man of knowledge without experience. Is he? I'm telling you what somebody has told me before. You are a man of knowledge without experience. You have not experienced that before. Will I experience everything? I cannot experience everything. I'll experience only some things. So you don't tell me that I'm a man of knowledge without experience. Has your heart been broken before? Are you a woman? Can you experience what it's like a woman's heart to be broken? No, I am not. I'm not. I don't agree, disagree with that, but don't, don't tell me that I'm a man of knowledge without experience, experience thing. So watch out for pride though, and watch out for last. Those of you who think you are amoebas, you are amoebas, asexual. It's like you are asexual, like you are a spirit. You are not a spirit. You are not an amoeba. You are asexual being. Come on now, are you an amoeba? Tell your neighbor. neighbor. Watch out for these two spiritual attacks from devils. Pride and lust wow #4. Give thyself holy to overcoming all kinds of traditions. Yeah, all kinds of traditions. Babu says in first Timothy 4 verse three that in the last this summer are going to come forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from myths which God has created to be received with Thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. So again, they are going to command you to abstain from certain foods, which may be what you need for your life to work. That's the very food they'll say don't eat. Now, doing well with God is all about breaking traditions. Look at me, it wasn't common. It wasn't ahead of my doctor to be a pastor, but I became a pastor. Yeah, I broke the tradition and no one, there was no one to appoint because I appointed myself. I came and said, well, I mean from the end of the service. So you know, we have to move on. And so I have decided God has spoken to me that to be a pastor. And so from today I am a pastor. So as they were looking at me, I said, yeah, you are, you must be a pastor. You have been coming to church here. But so I realized they didn't get the implication. So I said, so from now, I'm not brother dark. I'm. I broke out of traditions. Yeah, there must be pasta. There must be no more brother. I broke out of the tradition. I had to get married. Yeah, I had to get married. Now. I felt the pressure. I said now this is the moment. This is the hour. This is the time. Marry, marry, marry, marry, marry. Hey, I had no fridge, no chairs. There must be marriage. I had no fridge, no chairs. I broke out of the tradition. There must be no. There was no wedding. There was no wedding because I I I couldn't have a wedding at that time. Yeah, so I always like counselling people when they are going to have weddings because I look, I say, Oh no, I didn't have this. I had a wedding later, but not in the way you, you, some of you have it. Yeah, but there must be marriage. I was fighting for my life. Oh, I was fighting for my soul breaking traditions of men. Yeah, breaking tradition. I was in school when I did the engagement. I was a student. Yeah. I told my I want to marry, went and did the engagement. It's good. Sometimes when you are a student, they do things for you. When you start working, they don't want to do anything for you. There must be marriage. There must be overcoming evil spirit. Are you listening? Yeah. Try to break this in your family. Nobody has done it. It's OK because the Bible says in the last Samuel come forbidding to eat meat, forbidding to mine break. You have to break out of things. So we don't eat pork. Maybe it's pork that is good for you. Yeah. Or we don't eat this. We don't eat that. We don't do this. You have to learn how to eat some mutant. You cannot eat before in the morning, all over the world, tea. You don't know how to drink tea. Training, there must be training #5 Give thyself holy, he said. If thou shalt put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and good doctrine. Whereunto thou hast attained. Now you must give yourself to being a good minister or a good pastor. Amen. Yeah, you must give yourself. You know, if you don't give yourself to, you will not be a good pastor. You have to practice trying to become a good pastor. And you can be, you can be. Amen. You can be a good man of God. What do you think? Is it a good idea? Yeah. Now, how do you do that? One of the ways you do that is first of all, pass your exams, because you must have a good reputation of them that are outside. So if you've been bombing, you can't come through. But apart from that, to be a good minister is to begin the ministry now that you are a student. Yeah, you see, there is nothing that God is going to use you to do unless you've done it more than 20 or 50 times already. Yeah, you you need to give yourself to doing what you should be doing and start it. You see, to minister it takes experience. Do you understand to dodge evil takes experience. To be a minister takes experience. And the experience that you need for your ministry, Are you listening is going to come now that you are a student. And if you practice your ministry now, then you will learn many vital things which you will use in the future. So people who say, oh, I want to be a missionary, you've never been a shepherd. You've never LED a church. You've never actually have to pastor a church on Sunday, come and preach A sermon. Do you understand? Or Wednesday or whatever day it is, come and preach A sermon. All your desires are theoretical. It's theory. You have to practice the ministry. Ministry takes practice. Are you listening to me? Everything about the ministry takes experience. Prayer takes experience. Visitation takes experience. Preaching. You need a lot of experience to. It's like singing. I'm sure either can tell us a thing or two that have happened to her once on stage that you need experience to weave your way out of. Yeah, sure. Not true. I'm sure. I'm not a singer, so I don't know any of those. I don't know much. You get it. But as you serve the Lord, you get it and you start practicing. That is it. Almost every big stage God has given me. I have done what I did on the big stage, on a smaller stage many times. This is the second time I'm having a camp called Give Thyself Holy. Yeah, but the other one is not public. You wouldn't see it. Do you understand? This is. But this is the second time I'm having a camp called Give Thy Cell Phone, although it's a little different. So I'm doing things again and again and again. Chase, somebody wakes me up and says, can you preach today? Yeah, OK. I can preach about anything that I have to preach about. It's not a problem. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So I am asking you to have experience. It says that you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, and being a good minister is becoming a good preacher. You must become a preacher and a preacher of the world, and you must be good at it. You see everything. You have good ones and bad ones. We have good leaders, bad leaders. We have good doctors and bad doctors. Yeah. You know that. There are good doctors and bad doctors. Yeah. I mean, there are really doctors whose. I mean, based on the way they think they you, you will not get well in a certain way. Yeah. One day I met a doctor. He was coming to cut off somebody's leg. And I told him myself, do have you done this test? He said, OK, we haven't thought of that, so we don't have to do that test. And when he did that test, he didn't cut the leg again. No, I asked him, have you done this test? He said no. Huh. So we have good versions of everything in bad versions. I was in the theatre one day. We were operating. They said there was a young girl, she was 11 years old, 12 years old. They said she had a tumor. So we opened the cats, you know, and to do that operation, you do what we call a laparotomy. So they cut all the way down from here to here, long scar and they opened it. It was her feces. She was her Constipation. She had been pupu for some time. So all the pupu was there. So they just close it up again. Yeah. Major surgery for Constipation. Major surgery. Not that they say what I was seeing practically. So you have good and bad, but of course some of them are mistakes. Please, some of them are mistakes. Allow, allow. But God wants you to practice to be a good minister of Jesus Christ. How many want to be ministers of Jesus Christ? So, so I want to evangelize. I want to do this, I want to. Now is the time. Now let me just solve one problem for you. There is no congregation that is too small. If you can believe that, you will have the greatest practice of your whole life. There is nothing like a small congregation in the eyes of God. Why? Because what you are even preaching is not for the people. If you are the one who gets more blessed than what you are preaching, There is nothing like a group that is too small. There's nothing like that. So these people are few. Few for what? They are not few. Look, sharing the word is the same whether it's one person. Because honestly, if you are preaching well, you must always have some. Sometimes you have somebody or some people in mind and you preach, well, I feel like this group is too small. If you ever had a camp, your first camp that you ever conduct, you may just have 5 people. In fact, I would say that sometimes if you're having a few people, you know can present another challenge altogether to test you. Because when you are having a camp with five people and they can ask questions all the time, you know what I'm saying? You can easily get into a crisis because of the question. The question is asking. There is no congregation too small. Believe me, there is nothing like a small congregation. There is nothing small about any group of people. Is it clear? Yeah. So minister with all your heart. One day I went to South America and. There must be water there. There must be water. Not you behind, Yeah. The. Take out another offering quickly. Danny, what we're going to sing first. Take out an offering. Hello, everybody. Lift up your offering. Give a good offering tonight, please. We need money to pay for all the bills you are generating. We have to buy a lot of water. There's that electricity, so many things. You are not even helping the ministry. You are just trying to do whatever you understand. So don't think that all you are giving something, you are not even paying for the electricity that you are using. I hope you get what I'm saying. Lift it up, Father. Thank you. As we give a good offering today in Jesus name. Amen. OK. Would you like to watch a short film? OK, before we do that, we are going to receive the offering. And you can't see from where you are. Yeah, you can move. Hello. All right. Now that I know there's only one God is all, I'll be here. You're my only God and I want you to know my love for you. I'll never let go and I love you. So all I want it's to serve you. If I live my life again, I'll leave you. It's been worth living for you. Lord, I love you. There's no one I love you. You gain your son, you gain your life. Or when you turn my life all around you gain your life. Let me breathe and I'll serve me Father rest of my day. Woah woah my Lord and my Lord, I can't believe you died for me once. I create my and the Lord in return, I'll serve you for the rest of my life. I will build your church all I want. It's deserve you. If I live my life again, I'll choose you. It's the world what the living for you. Lord, I love you. That's the one I love you. You gave your son, you gave your love and you turned my life all around. You gave your life, We breathe, and thus any waters the money. Hold on my vision to do your vision. Hold on my work to do your work. I'll reach your word. And you turn my life all around. You gave your night. You let me breathe and not let me bother the rest of my day. Oh, you gain. You gave your life, and you turn my life warm round. You gain. You let me breathe. And not serve. Me fatherless on my days you gain, you gain your life and turn my life all around you gain your life. So I'll serve you for the rest of my day. Let's take a walk together with our Savior Jesus. Hand in hand, he and I. Let's cherish every moment Jesus gives to us. The time is passing by. I don't pray when I kneel down by my inside. I ask the Lord to help me to obey his calling. If I could just believe the Lord, I must cherish the love of God. I must cherish the praise of God, Go, cherish His words, things, cherish His love, cherish the cross, the cry. I must cherish the cha. I must cherish the cause of love. Oh, cherish the time I have to worry. Cherish the time to pray. The world must die. No one sees what God but Jesus died to save the world, so they did not walk away. Never heard of Jesus. Can I help to tell that I hope and pray when I kneel down by my inside. I ask the Lord to help me to obey school. If I could just believe the Lord. I must cherish the love of love. I must cherish the praise of God, cherish it for me, cherish this love, cherish the poor, the cry. I must cherish the cherish I have. I don't cherish the poor, cherish the time I have to work, cherish the time to pray. You must believe you're calling to do the work of love. Hand in hand, you and the Lord, and you can walk away from your original calling. Your time is passing by. So when you pray, when you lean down by your best life to ask the Lord to help you to obey this calling, if you could just leave, you must cherish the light of God. You must cherish the praise of God, cherish this word, cherish this light and cherish the crow, right? You must cherish the cherish you can. You must cherish the fallen, cherish the fight you have to work, and cherish your time to play. None.
