Welcome to track #10 the principles of war are. There some people outside. Hallelujah. Great. It's it's sharing time now. So I'm going to be coming to you to tell us what you've learned so far at the camp. Why are you reading your notes as if you have an exam? I'm not asking you for points, just anything you've learned, anything which has occurred to you. Should our buckets be in front or should keep them here? OK. You when? OK. I think that is even coming. So All right, So somebody from here should stand up and tell us what you've learnt. I don't want to call anybody, I'm a Christian. So just tell us what you've learnt at the camp. What has blessed you at the camp? Yes, a lady, a lady. Fast, fast. I'm counting 4 or I'm, I'm going to call. Yes. So tell us what you've learned at the camp. Have you been blessed anyway? Very much I'm. Very are you? Are you a first time on this your first camp, right? This your first. No, it's not my. It's not your first. Yeah, I've been very blessed as basically what's we're learning is that nothing comes easily. Nothing comes by just appearing. Everything has to be fought for, everything has to be got. So what I want in my life, I should fight for it, even coming for this camp. Like I could easily not have come because there was a valid reason why I couldn't have come. But I realized that God was just telling me that the fact that I had to fight for the come and come and then learn that I had to fight to be in the ministry fight to get all that I'm hoping to get and be is, is wonderful. That's powerful. No, I mean, what she's saying is a is a direct revelation she has had from the camp because she has to fight to come. You get me. She has to fight to come only to come to the camp to also be taught about fight the good fight. So to her, God is preparing her for a future life of combativeness. She must be belligerent, Yes, aggressive. So what are two things you have to fight for? For a good future in the Lord for you. Actually, now I have to fight to be a strong Christian, a really, really strong Christian. You have to fight to be really strong. Believe. It by building your muscles strong as in for the building or strong way. No, I strong and I can pray like I pray. Spiritually strong. I can pray, but I can't do more, only that I don't do it. You. Don't do it because many things compete for your time and attention, but now you're going to fight to pray. Yes, that's good. And have more of Bible study because as Bishop was teaching us like all the prints are coming from different parts of the Bible and it will take something else to connect it and put it under this heading. Fight the good friend. Clap your hands for her. God is speaking. Yeah, yeah. And it's true. It's OK to me too. I mean, it takes something else to connect. It really occurred to me. I mean, I was amazed at the content of the, you know, teaching and the message deep, you know, and everybody must get the message on your, you know, we don't have tape recorders now. What? What, what, what do you have? Sorry, MP3 CD. Do you use cassettes? Cassette player? Yeah. You must have it. No, Listen very carefully. This camp is a must have. Yeah, it's a must have because the enemy Bishop told us the enemy we are fighting is a very, very wild enemy. You know, he, he's he's very unconventional, merciless, ruthless. So if you do not match his strength and his strategies, you will be blown away. Yeah. Very soon you will be lying by the roadside receiving rapes. Yeah. And others are passing by and going on, you see. So it is very important what, what you are saying to, to then connect these things and to know these things, you need to be a student of the word of God. Amen, which is one of the ways of developing yourself and making your tree good. The word and all the forms it comes through, the written word, the priest word, the different things that must connect. Everything must come together for you to become what you desire to be. So to be strong spiritually, it's one of the things you must fight for. You want to fight for. That is why, why do you want to be strong spiritual? First of all, if if I'm not a strong Christian, I better not be a Christian at all. It's it's almost nothing if I'm not a strong. Christian it is. It is. I mean, the devil can just blow you away, Cry. You must be strong, you see? You must be strong. If you are not strong, then you must join him, because where you are standing, you are, you are, you are you are in enemy territory and you are not strong. So when the fire is coming, I tell you, you will not last, you know. So you, you you have no option but to be strong. But what else are you fighting for? Just two, one more I'm. Fighting to get into the ministry like on a different level and to stay in the ministry to to. Get into the ministry. So what are you going to fight? And. To get into the ministry. Right now I have to fight not spending too much of my time in school, like more on books and stuff and actually give their time to God give everything. You want to stop school? No, I don't want to stop school, but I I can spend a lot of hours studying for an exam. I can spend a lesser number of hours studying for the same exam. At the end of the day, I'm going to pass it, so I better give the time to go and. Who's your beloved? I don't have one. So what year are you in? I'm going to 3rd year. 3rd year. I need 5 applicants please. The form cost $100 the form. So if you are interested, bring the money. This is fake dollars. So is it real dollars? Fake dollars. May nobody marry you with fake dollars. It shows that the guy himself is a fan. He's fake, but I think how many of you think that she is? She has taken the seed and she is planting it in her own field. Yeah. Clap your hands for her. What's your name? Iris. Clap your hands for Iris. What is that fake guy? Come and collect your fake. All right, clap your hands for Iris again. You see? Said Iris, right? A guy from here. What have you learnt? Did I come here a guy? No, the Dulles, the fish guy. Tell us. Leave in the microphone. He's not fake, he's genuine. He's just using fake dollars, that's all. Yes. What have you learnt at the camp? I use my fake microphone. Hello. Good. OK, Bishop, thank you. I actually like the practical, like the message is so practical asking when? Bishop asked the elder, the chief of his readiness, Hassan. No, he do. I'm so surprised you have not thought of all this things before and he's just giving the answers no. Because the time you spent acquiring fake dollars, he used it to think, thank you. You shouldn't be surprised. While you were chasing fake dollars, he was thinking. Why not thinking? I didn't chase it it. Was it was given to you and. It came like. It came into your book. Are you a Malam? No. Are you a 419? No, no. All right. So. So practically, yes. We thank God for his answers. But what has occurred to you? What have you learnt at the camp so far? I've learnt that if. If careful, I'm coming to somebody. I'm coming to you, right? I've seen you. If I don't make changes, I have so many things to change. So many. Things. Why? Why should we change things? Hassan, me, for instance, time I have, so I have time. You have time for what? Time to just sit down quiet and not do anything. I yes I'm quiet, not talking to anyone, locked up and I won't do anything. You're just sitting there. Just sitting down. Were you an idol before you were born? Not really. Just sitting there? Yes. Sitting slow now. Yes. I'm coming. So now what are you going to change? I have. To make good time. Good use of my. Time until the time will make good use of me. Wow, how will the time make good? Use of me. I'm saying it's just a matter of time. I'll just go wayward. Wow, are you an elder? Assistant. Yes, please. What else have you learned? And also I've learned I want to share this. Share always Bishop. Allow him to share. Always Bishop asked us that we can be. The street can't talk to us. Yesterday I was sitting here and I was writing my notes as we were talking when he came in, I was. So I was really writing the notes. He was. And then he told me to shut up. The street told me to shut up. So I was quiet. And then Bishop, yesterday when we were talking, it's not you. It's not you, Yes. My uncle came here. No. You. You my younger. Brother, yesterday. Yesterday. It's not me. I I could differentiate. Hello. Yesterday I couldn't differentiate. If the spirit is like you're being, the speaking is just in you, Hassan, that this time around they split himself. Was. Speaking, I'm telling you so. So. Wow, so so so why was I? It's it was a direct warning, direct warning. I see direct. The spirit I was. Asking you preach like that before, but. Yesterday you always see me preaching normally I see you, you see me. But yesterday's was so. Different. It's not you. Wow. Yeah, yeah, I, I left. When I left yes. We closed, I slept around 3. I went to I was just lying. I couldn't sleep and he asked me why. Why? He asked me to put the pen down. We write as if I want to write notes. He told me that like you are going to write exams, so it's be wise if you listen to what attentively and then go and listen to the message and write the notes. After all, I should go and listen to the message and write the notes. Yeah. So, so clap, Clap the answer in clap. So. You were there and you saw the fig golets. What are you going to do with it with the? Fig. Oh, I don't do anything with it at all. So you are going to use it to buy forms? Right, she really charged me. Like what? She said. Oh, I actually. Wanted to know that like I wish. She was speaking. Yeah, not not. Before she spoke. When she was speaking, when she was. Speaking. Yes, she's really. Yeah, the words, it means a lot. That's what I just wanted. To Yeah. Yeah, it's meaningful. It's very yes please meaningful. You think she's deep? Yes, she's really deep. She's very spiritual. Very. Spiritual and. Are you on the same campus? No, please. Where are you? I'm incallible. You are incallible. Yes, please. And and and why is she? She's coming to Collabu. So Iris just got up and wave at him. Just wave. Foolish boy. But it's good. It's good. It's very good to even value the depth of spirituality of people. Yeah. So that when it's time to marry, you don't just marry. All right. What has the Lord said to you at the camp? Not you. Yes. My name is Laura from Calabu Church. It's like it's a Calabu affair. Why? Why is it? So Calabuic, the spirits, the spirits, the spirits. OK, yes. What have you learnt and? For me, practically, I've learnt how to fight and fight well spiritually. How to do what? Fight and fight. Well, yes, but you can say that we are fighting for the Lord. But our spirituality may not be very strong for me, Percy, I really struggle sometimes to pray for long hours because I'm someone that I always want to do something. I always have to finish something, go somewhere. They. Are always on the move. Yeah, I'm always sorting out things. I have to go and see somebody. So my main issue now is to fight. Well, that's spend more hours in prayer, try to be alone with the Lord. So that's what that's very. Good. That's and and you should be honest with yourself to know that you are not at the place where she's talking about. Amen, that you are not spiritual. That's why I said I was saying that do not equate being around spiritual people with being spiritual. Do you see the point? Yeah. And when you are able to see in yourself that you will lack certain things, certain spiritual activities, you know you are able to now do what you must do instead of deceiving yourself that you are spiritual, you are an elder, you are fine, everything is OK, only to discover that Sally the train has left and you have not even arrived at the train station. So that's powerful. What else have you learned? Well, and when when Bishop was talking about the the strategies in warfare like surprise attack, surprise has been saying sorry to someone who has offended you and actually taking steps to going back to clear the atmosphere so the devil doesn't come into destroy. You. So you must make a move. Yeah, you must surprise the devil. Yes, I apologize. And then also clearing the air, talking to the person start again. Clear with air and. Sometimes, well, for I'll say for ladies, when you say yeah, sorry to someone, you you just say, OK, I'm sorry, but you don't really mean it. So. So you need to. Yeah, really mean it by going back to the person, trying to talk to the person. Just clear the game and also let me talk about U tents and U tents. Yes, U tents as in any time, OK, Let's say for me, there was a time in my life that I had to take AU 10 and I seriously had to pray to God to direct me. And I just took it and I'm well planted in the church and I'm grateful. Did your life get better? When? You. Yes, U-10. Yeah. How many of you have U tents to make U 10s? OK. Can you microphone? Can you tell me One or two U 10s you must make anyone AU 10 or it's personal? One or two this way. One or two U 10s you must make. Sorry. All right, Yes, OK, one, just one U-turn you must make. EU turn I want to take now is that before I came to first law just my friend introduced me to this church. So like now I've decided since I've heard the message and everything that I really need to like. Work for the law. Are you going to be a pastor? Do you want to be a pastor one day? I want to minister to people. Not. Like. I don't minister to people but not to be a pastor like. Council people. Council, Yeah. OK, OK, go on. So like now when Bishop was talking guys yesterday when he was given examples, so as if it was me, he was referring to some of the examples he used. So which particular U-10 are you intending to make? I want to really work for the Lord. Where were you headed towards and where are you going? I wasn't really that cold or hot for the Lord, but. Not really cold or hot. Yeah, I was. Look home, let me just say something. OK, and now you want to. I want to be hot. To be hot for the Lord. I'm hot for the Lord. Clap your hands for her. Yeah, it's very powerful. Yes. One U-10. You want to make so this type of half and half. You are in the church. You are also in the world. You are not straightforward. You jump and laugh with us that you've got another group that you you are with that type of duality. You see, you must fight it. Yeah. Otherwise, one of these days you, you will come to a place where both House would reject you. Yeah, the Czechs and those people, they will all turn there because they will see that you are not a straightforward person. So choose and commit yourself. Choose and commit. Either you are here or you are there. But she is saying that she is going to do what? Commit to the Lord to be hot for the Lord. Beautiful. I want to share something. Oh, share. Is it working? Hello. Yes. Yeah, I wanted to say that this camp is a blessing to me. It's a seasonal camp because I've just completed school and when I was coming for the camp, I told God I I said I want to be changed before I leave this camp. I want God to talk to me. You want Elder. Yes, please. Good and and the word of God says that and when the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth and as the word of God was come, you can see clearly that like this is the life. This is the life that you are about to start and God is just directing you and leading you and telling you that this is it. Sometimes you may feel that maybe I'm good, you're a virgin, you're this, but you get married and you see that these are the same things that Bishop said, and you're facing it, maybe. You give. Birth to two children, then you realize that you are changing. You may think that oh, maybe me out my in my case it will be different. But when the spirit of truth comes, this is, this is the truth that you want. And God is telling you that this is this is the life. This is what is going to happen. This is it. So I'm really blessed. Amen. And, and everybody here must value this life. Amen. Value this life. Fight anything. You must fight not to live this life. Whatever is that our boy again, who is that? Fight Whatever you must fight. It's obvious. Amen. Yeah. After school, in school. Forced to enter. Tell the leader. Forced to enter the ministry. Yeah. Forced to be a part of the ministry. Be inside. Amen. Because this is the life. And now she's saying don't wait to grow up to discover that. Hey, Charlie, let me know. Not doing that. There was nothing in it and others took the decision years back and advanced in it and now you can't enter because of your age. Even your age alone will not help you and the children who are calling you, They are all around. You can't do much for the Lord, Amen. So that's powerful. God bless you, yes. Thank you, Vishal. Oh, what I learned was that when Bishop was talking about the Boaz. It's. Happening to Boaz or root? Happening to Boaz, It's it's like what came into my mind was that I was laughing at Boaz that something like that happened to him. And then we were all laughing. But I I I learned that Boaz although a root. Happened to. Him. It was a good thing that happened, but some of us may not be. That lucky that a good. Thing may happen. To us, so we go take the step to take the decision to. Make it work before a bad thing or a western happens to us. That's what I learned. That, that is. And that is a fact, fact, fact, you see. Yeah, especially in the area of your relationship, marriage and so on. I mean, I don't think the suspense here are bad. I mean they are good. So if you are here second year, third year you are finishing this is and your eyes are on some Marisa belt somewhere. This is the point, yeah. If you don't act, you are going to follow something. You see. There is no greater blessing than the blessing of marrying someone who hears what you hear, has heard what you heard. I mean, you, You. You sink powerfully. You sink, but if you are here, look at the things you are hearing and she is somewhere, I tell you, I tell you, and you see that Scripture not being unequally youthed together with unbelievers. This is unbelievers. Anyone who doesn't believe what you believe is an unbeliever. If I believe something and you don't believe it with respect to that issue, you are an unbeliever. So you may be a Christian. A lot of terrible marriages are seen among Christians, church going Christians. You see, they are all in church. They all flow, but there is a mismatch because the woman believes something that the guy doesn't believe or the guy believes something. So the best place to find someone to marry, to my mind, is a place like this. So the things you are hearing are strong. Yeah. And that anybody who is not here and doesn't know what you know and what you are hearing will greatly inform the decisions you are going to take. A lot of the things you would do hereafter will be based on the things you are hearing, you see. So if you go and marry somebody who hasn't heard what you've heard, if it's a good person, may, may, may be turned into an evil person. That's because she doesn't know what you know. She doesn't know what you know. So, so it is, it is really very important that you, you you tread cautiously, especially if you are here, this your second camp, your 4th camp, your 5th camp. I tell you, you are going to disturb unless yourself, you are not genuine. Yeah. And it's also possible you are here for other reasons. It's just, it's just a failed trip, a social event. It's possible. But if you are really here because of the ministry, then you are going to worry somebody by marrying the person. A good person can be turned into a bad person. That's because the person doesn't know what you know. I tell you, if I were you, my beloved will come from this subset. How do you do subsets in school? Oh, how nice it will be. We are going for a camp together. We are doing missions together. We are starting a church together. I mean, I, I, I would love to be a part of such a romantic church, but you want to start a church, You want to do missions. You don't want to marry a Christian. But she doesn't understand these things. Suddenly, because of your energy and your fire and your zeal, a good Christian somewhere has now been turned into an Antichrist, anti ministry, anti God. Then you would rather begin to say that she's a devil, God, God. I mean she's a what do you call it? She's not spiritual. Meanwhile, you were also not spiritual until you heard what you have heard. So note it carefully being mismatched to an unbeliever that when an unbeliever is not just a weed smoker, a non church person, somebody who is not born again is also an unbeliever. But you can have a church person who is an unbeliever with respect to an issue. And now for us here, the issue is not tithe or offering. The issue is ministry fighting to stay in the ministry, fighting to serve God. I want to ask again, how many of you want to serve God? You want to be in the ministry. You stand up and look at the hands. Almost everybody here wants to be in the ministry. Then you go and marry an unbeliever. An unbeliever in Lighthouse? Yes. With respect to the ministry, they are unbelievable. I tell you, there are people who don't believe these things. Yeah. A member of my church one day told one of my shepherds that she shouldn't waste her time attending this type of shepherds training these things. They are just using a a tight paying church member. She doesn't believe it. She's a Christian. She's in Lighthouse. We are here. You are going to marry a good Christian, a very good singer from Pentecost, a Prince and worship leader who doesn't know anything about missions or whatever. Meanwhile you, you are here, you are being fired up by the 2nd to serve God and suddenly a good person becomes a devil in your life. Mewhile is not a devil. A lot of the devils in our lives, we make them devils. Yes, you made them a demo. I'm telling you if I have any treasure to give you a the treasure is that look through scan, scan, scan. I'm telling you, I'm telling you what is happening here is by by any measure, it's not a small thing. It's not one of those gatherings and one of those meetings. It's not even a check service. It's not even a Sunday check service. It's a very wild meeting we are having here. And anybody who is here and is hearing what you are hearing, I tell you must be a friend to you. Yes, as be a friend to you. As be a friend to you. Clap your hands for Jesus. Are you being blessed? Do you believe great things are going to happen to you? Yeah. Fight and fight and fight. And you will be. You will be happy you fought. Amen. Clap your hands for Jesus.
