11. Types Of Pastors And Shepherds

Welcome to track #11 of Mission Africa. We are still asking the Lord to usher us into a change, Amen. Into a change, a changed life. He should transform us, Amen. I said. He should transform us, Amen. And we are asking the Lord to do it. You can change. You can be a different person. And the agency is the agency of the seats. Seats change things, Amen. When you plant something in a place, it changes the nature of the place. You can change how this room looks like by planting seeds here. You can change how your backyard looks like. If only you can plant something, a change will take place. Let's begin to pray and ask the Lord for that grace to transform. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes. Oh Jesus Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Jesus. Kabala de bore bazan dala bada miko taliba sama de kelebe le kelebe lembre busy lembrege salabanga morande grimasam Pele gadolaba malanda malanda malanda baya zamandala bayandala bayande zamandele Bebe bendalaba bangalaba Ramada samandala daka balaba samayan debe. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for a change. Lord Kabasa talababa shamande kramada malamba zataya. Father, we know you will do something great in Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated. Wow, wow, wow, wow. You are going to become a great great shepherd. Amen. My one of my most powerful parables is this parable of the mustard seed. And as I have left, I've seen people change. Amen. People who never bought certain types of fruits in their ministry suddenly beginning to bear those fruits. Yeah, I I would say that as we are all starting this work of the ministry as shepherds pastors, I will tell you that and and you will see it as soon as you enter the ministry. It's the first that will greet you, that there are two types of shepherds, two types of pastors, two types of ministers, great ministers and dwarf ministers. You see, if you've not entered the minister, you will know. Those of you who are pastors, you know every level shepherds. There are great shepherds and dwarf diminutive shepherds. Pastors. There are great pastors and there are bogus pastors. Bogus. There are great reverence and there are bogus. When you look at them, you bow your head. Is this ministry? I'll prefer to be an armed robber. Is this ministry? Give me a school to teach, Give me a bank to work in. Business ministry. I would like to be a cleaner. Anything, any area of life, there's the great and there is the not great. You can see that Charlie, the guy has a title, but he's not great. She's called LP, but Charlie is fact. It's a cheer. LP say man, believe it. You see, if you don't believe it, you are likely to join the ranks of the dwarfs and to be a dwarf in the ministry is a self-inflicted condition. As for me, by the grace of God, I have a determination. But if you appoint me, if I'm ever appointed as a pastor, I will ensure that I'll be among great pastors. It's a it's a, it's a holy determination. That is why this camp is your turning point. See, See, I'm talking about being great. It's like a master seed which a man took and sold. And even though it's a small seed, it becomes, it later becomes a glitchy and the beds of the air, they gather on the branches. When will your ministry gather 2000 beds? When I beg you determine that in any class you find yourself in, you always know that there is the great and the not great. But to be great is not by your background, where you were born, whether you were living in a compound house or in a hat. Even that you did not go to school does not determine whether you'll be great or small. Lack of education in the ministry has never determined whether a person was small. In my experience it is the educated ones who are other dwarfs. The the uneducated ministers I know about are great times. The dwarfs are graduates. Shabaya because the Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man if only you can take the seeds which a man took. There are some men who don't take the seed, who don't. You see, when you don't take the seed, it's a sign that you don't have respect for this type of seed. The mustard seed talks about things that on the outside look very insignificant. They don't look powerful. Some of you, when you are appointed as pastors, what you will use your money to do is to buy suits and ties and shirts and shoes, because when you look sharp, you look anointed. But when you use your money to buy a Dex Bible, who cares so that you have a Dex Bible? But one day you will care. I beg you, you are capable of being great. If you are not great, it's not because you are a Ghanaian. It's not because you are a lady. Your gender has never determined greatness in ministry. Never. It has never been that somebody was great because he was a man or somebody was not great because in my church, in my the church I pastor, the person who has gathered the largest crowd in my church is a woman, not a man. There are many ministers who have gathered, who have come to my church, many pastors, bishops. The person who has gathered, the largest crowd with overflow, with the same level of publicity is a woman, a prophetess. Being a woman has never been the determinant. You have inflicted dwarfism on yourself. The the the carrier of the greatest healing and miracle anointing is a woman, not a man. Men are soaking her tips. Get it right. You are what you have made yourself to be. That you didn't go to school. You have chosen not to. You have chosen to let your lack of education keep you in the dungeon. I know a pastor who hasn't been to university. He has built a university and as employed professors it is you. You are your church, yourself, your whatever you have made yourself that way. It is like a seed which a man took and sowed in his field. We are too concerned about preaching to people, ministering at conventions, preaching to the ministry, blessing the car, blessing the basil. When you have not put seeds into yourself. Your greatness is not determined by the size of the church you have. Your greatness is determined by the seeds you have put on your in your own field, the man, the Kingdom. When the man takes the seed in the Kingdom, you sow it in yourself. Stop looking for a convention to Britain. Going to copy some of this message you are going to print. When will you yourself have rise up and have a message that we will also come and soak money sows the seed in his. It is lay down, lay down that the crowds gather. The size of the crowds that will gather is determined by this. Your size, the size of your tree, you yourself, you determine the number of birds that gather. It is not the cathedral you are you are preaching in. It's not a church, you are. It's not a building, It's you. The members don't gather in buildings. The Mendez gather on the branches of the pasta. A building has never been. If you come to my city in Accra, the largest crowds gather on the canopies on Tuesday morning. Canopies spread like a farm. Tuesday morning working day pasta with AT shirt you are wearing suits. 20 people have come Tuesday morning. Get it right. There's no cathedral. We can build a basilica for you. If you are useless, you are useless. Make yourself. Hello. The man took it and sowed it in his field. Your field? What is on your field? What's the first seed? I said you should plant the first seed. The seed of what? The word Bible, Bible Word your, your, your respect, your level of investment, your level of of of attention you pay to the Bible, not not not a book. Bible determines how far you go. Thy words were found and I ate them. It is the eating that makes a difference. What's the next seat? Soaking in Listening preaching messages, soaking in podcast soaking in Hey for Emmanuel Makane. When you open your mouth to speak, you will know that this guy, he has been with them with ACD and I told you and the reason why we soak in messages is that it's what it's what is the vehicle it carries the anointing while Peter yet speak the Holy Ghost fell on them that were in the room. He fell only on those who heard. You can be in the room and be dry. The fact that you are here does not mean something that's happening to you. What you hear determines what oil drapes on you. The words I speak, they are spirits and they are life. But that scripture John succeeded is not as powerful as John 1044 because the words I speak are spirits. Fine, but until you listen and listen intelligently. Jesus talked about two types of listening hearing. You can hear and not hear your real convention, He said. These people's heart is wise, gross, and their ears are unable to hear and their eyes unable to see, lest they become converted. You are changed only by a certain way of hearing. Your real convention comes from listening in a certain way. So I have introduced the concept of earphones and MP3 players. Everybody, everybody make sure if you intend to be a pastor, a shepherd, make sure you are a listener of messages and if you think you are anointed, wait till you get anointed. The third seed as the seed of watching DVDs and video podcasts. It's a dimension you cannot afford to leave out watching. You can listen to messages and not rise to a certain level of ministry. They are pastors who short messages. They can preach, but there is something that cannot elevate. You can never, you can never rise without. And that is the watching. If you are here, you are a shepherd. I beg you to have the wherewithal, the the paraphernalia, have the ability to watch, to watch a pastor preaching. If you leave it out, you have left your glory out. Say glory. A certain level of glory and duty in ministry will never be experienced just by listening to messages. There is a certain level of glory you will experience only through the watching, 2nd Corinthians 318 says. But we all with open face beholding us in a glass. The glass is the iPad screen, the glass is the television screen. Beholding us in the glass, the glory of God. Can you imagine watching Bishop that you want milk in Malaysia ministering. It is glorious. But we all with open face, beholding, looking as in a glass the glory of God. I changed into the same image from glory to glory. Maguzaka Talabandekra, Balabo. Hey, you leave watching Outlook, there is a certain level of ministry, a level of preaching, a level of impartation, anointing, transfer. You don't listen. No, because you are a child. You don't understand what you are doing. Oh, go away, go away. Beholding us in a glass. That word glass is the mirror. That is the word, but I am saying that glass is your eye pass cream that don't watch pornography with your eye pass cream makasu catala because because because life is says that you are changed into what you watch. You can never become different from what you watch. Listen, you want to be something what filming ministry preaching you want to be a you want to be a dancer sexy dancer. What? What do you want to be armed robber for Christ? What? Watch it, find it, find someone doing it, watch it, watch it, he said. We are transformed into the shape. The words are so clear, the words you know that sometimes you need to understand. Use Greek words, he said, into the same image. It means the image you are seeing on the screen is the image you are also going to leave out. It's it's so beautiful. God has made life easy for us. You can be anything. If only you can get something to watch, you'll be as you watch it. This is not my idea. It says that you are transformed into the same image. Give me two weeks with DVDs of sexy dancing. I'm telling you, I can come and do sexy dancing in front of you. Why? Because I was born in a disco. No, what you watch here, what you watch, most of you ladies, your hairstyle is because of what you saw. That's what is on your head. Even though the shape of your head is not nice, the shape of your head doesn't allow that, that style. But you saw it as a away. No, no, listen, somehow you can never be different from the things you are watching. I can tell you if you, you can watch Nigerian movies for six months, watch it very well. You start bleaching your skin. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, watch it with admiration. You will begin to use skin lightening creams. That is God's way of changing us. You become anything you keep watching, admiring, watching, admiring, watching it. You will begin to be like that. There is a pastor I have been watching for some time. When I'm preaching, I can see myself doing the things he does. But we all, all of us, let's have an open face. Open your face open. Look at it with admiration. An open face means without criticism. You can watch something with criticisms and never become like it. An open face is a face of admiration, a face that embraces, a face that when, when Bishop is preaching and I'm sitting down, it's it's difficult for me. I don't know the last time I sat like this. If you like, watch. Open fresh, when you are sleeping, when you are bored, then you want to be a shepherd who preaches. Well, it's not like that. Watching is the type of seed you can actually change yourself by the things you watch. If you don't watch, you'll be yourself and yourself is not nice. You lady. You must watch Lady Reverend Adelaide. Watch her preach, even ourselves sometimes. Don't even listen to her preaching, just watch how she walks with grace. Actually, a woman is walking, but you only are walking. But you're not a bad person. That's how your auntie works, your mother works your family. That's how the women work. That's what you've been watching. You have watched your mother for 20 years walking like this. But you can change and walk like this. Why? What you watch, what you are looking at, it can change your style. May your style change. I said may your style change. May your style of Britain change. May your style of ministry change. May your style of talking change. I'm not talking about speaking with American slangs. But ladies and gentlemen, there is a way when you minister, my God, I watched someone preaching. That's why I'm preaching. I can come and say. So we now turn our Bibles to 2nd 2nd Corinthians chapter 3, verse 18. But we all with open face, beholding us in a glass, the glory of the Lord change. It's the same image my friends. God wants to change our lives. And one way to change our lives is for you to watch and observe. My dear friend to the Lord, it's possible to be changed. The word to change is not the Greek word metamorpho. And the root talks about a change that is complete. I pray that from today you, you experience, experience a change in your life. My God. I won't come to church again, but I want the pastor print the microphone. Hey, hey, hey. And he begins by saying that change is possible. I said, can someone hear me? I said change is possible. He said, but we all let your face be open. Begin to observe with admiration, Ladies and gentlemen, what you behold is what you become, my God. This is how in my family, that's how we speak, and mine is even worse because I'm a stammer first. I'm speaking, ladies and gentlemen, I feel that. But when you watch, you see, you see, you can't. It can't be. It's like you are changed. You are taken to the same image. The things you watch have more power over you than the things you even hear. Can you imagine? Jacob became a rich man by watching. He signed a document with his father-in-law that when the animals give birth, the ones which have stripes and so on, As for the father-in-law, those ones which are speckled and spotted will be for me. Meanwhile, that pattern was rare. So Jacob reared and took care of these animals for years and all the offsprings had a pattern which belonged to Leban. Jacob said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This, this can happen. I must change my destiny, I must change my life, I must change my ministry. Something must change. Oh God, give me an idea. Give me an idea. And God told him the pattern that you are having yours, you know, go and drive it, go and draw it. So he went to draw that pattern of his animals, where the animals came to eat and to mate, to have sex when they came to eat. So as they were eating, any time they came to eat, they were watching the sports. It's a DVD. Animals, even animals are changing. And here you are a shepherd as animals are changing and here you are a pastor. Bible says as they were watching, they would eat, they would mix, they would come and go, come and go. Suddenly as the animals begin to give birth, the color pattern was exactly the same as the one they had been looking at. Suddenly Jacob began to have a lot more offsprings, became a rich millionaire. By introducing the principle of the DVD dimension animals, their skin change. The complexion of your ministry is about to change. The color of your ministry is about to change. I know you have been doing ministry in a certain way. May the Lord bring you something to watch. My God, I pray that your background will be effaced and eclipsed by something you have been watching. My God, I pray that as you listen, as you watch your total metamorphosis. Animals, they began with the Bible, they began to give birth and the color, the skin pattern was what he had put there. The the the, the rainsticks, they were all the children suddenly banned. If he was getting 8085 out of 100, suddenly he was getting 15 and the man who was some time ago getting 5 was getting 95. I see the tables standing in your ministry. I see your ministry changing. What are you watching? How can you say you are a shepherd and you are into Nigerian movies? How can you say you are a shepherd? You are into you are into Telemundo Spanish girls who are wearing skirts that they, they use handkerchiefs, handkerchiefs to sew as a skirt that they use handkerchiefs to sew when they bend that their red panties are showing there. And you are a man, you are watching Spanish Telemundo. But right now I see you watching Benihan DVDs or Thazia DVDs and a German DVDs. Carrizo Davidis. What you behold is what you become. Nobody is great. I'm ending now. We are going on a 2 hour break. Nobody is great. You choose to be great. You choose to take a DVD and sew it. Into whom? Your own field. Then it grows to become a herb, but later it becomes a mighty tree with branches and beds thousands. Nobody is great. We choose the path of greatness. The path of greatness is chosen when you choose the path of seed sowing into your field. Your greatness is not determined by the seeds you sow in other lives. Your greatness is determined by the seeds you plant in your field. You can change animals changed, Paul said. We all can be transformed into the same image and even to a higher glory of the same image. May the Lord help us receive an appetite for watching. Receive an appetite for DVDs May an Angel send your part paraphernalia, iPad, laptop, desktop. May the Lord grant you the ability. May He show mercy on you and send you help from heaven. Receive energy to pursue DVDs, to pursue media players. Hey, and when you find it, may you have the ability to eat. For thy words were found. It's not enough to find the media player. It's not enough to find the DVD. It's not enough to find the video. It is also important to eat. Thy words were found, and I did it. And it became the joy of my rejoicant, For I have been called by thy name. Oh Lord, stand to your feet and let's pray. Father, anoint us, change us, increase us. Let your will be done. As we go on this break, bring us back refreshed, energized, blessed in Jesus name, Amen. Wow, put your hands together for Jesus. Watch a word. Oh. Wow, wow, wow. Are you being changed? Are you being transformed? Are you being metamorphosized? Wow, put your hands together for Jesus. It's a word in season.
