Welcome to track #12 of the bag of Seeds. Amen. So sail in the holiest. Of people, how much more in the hitless? And the Stalins. How much more in the wicked school prefects and the wicked seniors? Tormented us in boarding. School. Wicked people, the wicked. Madams and the wicked bosses. What do you think? Is it fantastic? Super fantastic, isn't it? Are you there? Comeliness was telling me. All these holy guys. It's surprising for them to say that. Man, there are bad thoughts in me. I may have realized something, that you are jealous of somebody, somebody who is sort of in your category. You are not. As excited you have. Negative thoughts. So this person, this will happen to him soon. Now I'm I'm saying this to show that. All the good. Good, good, good guys have so much bad, bad, bad in them because we've all eaten up the tree of the good of good and evil. So in the West of people there is some good and in the best of people there is some bad. That. Is why a lion will kill his neighboring antelope and after that you see him playing and rolling over with his. Babies see in the. Same. Yeah. In the same animal. Is that tenderness and care? Do you understand? And at the same time killing and eating. Blood, it's so wild. You see the animal? I mean chewing something. Beating the ball, biting. In fact, I saw something in Singapore. I've never seen it before, an elephant that was being followed by lions. I've seen the wildlife, but that one I've not seen. I've not seen one before, about 12 lions. They lie the. Elephant around. Try to do this. Whatever they all run away, they need to start going and they will follow it. Elephant. They followed the elephant like little. Cats biting the leg, jumping on it. Riding it. The end. They brought down this big elephant. They ate the elephants, the lion, the ethics, about about 12 of them. Yeah, and it does say when they feel they don't lie down, they'll lift their legs out there, whatever. So the two the good, the bad and the ugly, they are all. So it shows you now the. Bible is explaining. To us that. It says where. For us, by one man sin entered. Are you listening? There's nothing to write. All this is the books I've written. What are you writing as by one man sin? Entered into the world. And death by sin. So death. Passed upon all men. Death. Came to all men 4 All have sinned. Do you get it? Death came to. Everybody, because everybody had sinned. So the reason why people. Die, whether the agent of death is cancer, accident, crashes, malaria, sickle cell crisis, epilepsy, convulsions, mental illness, whatever. Sin entered men and death came to men because of sin. I'm just trying to explain to you that all the problems in this world which men are struggling against, ultimately death, the origin and the root of it is sin. So, God being so. Wise and so great. Hello. Give me a little bit of voice. I don't have to. Shout God being so. Wise and so great. Decided to attack the root. Of all the problems rather than their fringes. Because the fact that. You don't have money, which is going to lead to your hunger, which is going to lead to your starvation, which is going to lead to your death. Their origin is sin. Yeah, yeah, some. Your your mother's sin, Your father's sin. Yeah. And your sin. Think of all the sins you've been sinning up till now and that you are supposed to reap from. You know, how long should you be living for? Yeah. Then when last. Hath conceived, last is. A woman who gives birth when last has conceived, it brings forth sin. The baby that it brings forth is sin, and when sin is finished, it brings forth death. James one, verse 15. James 115. Are you there? So death is the. Fruit of. Sin. All men are dying because of the sins we have committed and are committing. What do you think? Are you getting it? That is why Jesus Christ when He came did not give himself to providing water boreholes or providing water, drinking water for the communities. There was not drinking water in those days. Do you think there was drinking water? It's. Reason that we invented even pipes people were drinking from. Rivers when Jesus came. People were drinking. Why didn't he bring? Those inventions? Electricity. There was no light. Why didn't Jesus invent light and. Bring all those things, no? He could have bought water videos, he could have taught us so. Many things. Card he just ignored all that, went straight to the real problem, which problem has not been resolved by the invention of light this. Light I used to continue sinning into homosexuality into. Sexuality. Sexual. Misbehaviour into bestiality into gambling. Disco texts and every. I mean just name the type of sin. The electricity has been used to make videos of every bad thing in the world. Everything and we've learnt. It we are doing it the. Drums. Are used to disco. Jumping, sin, evil, all the inventions have not have not helped man. They've just been used. In a certain way, microphones, yeah. So Jesus didn't look. I mean that by we. See in our limited vision, look at the problems of man and feel that. Oh, what he really needs is light. That's why God has elevated us. Above the providing of. Water, electricity, schools and. All these things to. Providing the word of God, which goes to the root Jesus, the Bible says in him. Was life and the life was the light of man. Jesus came with life, and that life was the light of men, because darkness had filled the earth and sin had come, and sin was conceiving and giving forth to death, death. Death. Oh, so when God is calling you to be a preacher, he's calling you to work? At the highest level. With the most important issues. That is why when death happens, when it gets to a second, they come and call us pastors because at the end of life it is the pastor. They come for the priests. Yeah, not the bank manager from the Afghanistan. They take them to their churches. Are you there? So, Briders and sisters, are you listening to me? God wants to bless you with the highest job. The job of a preacher. Yeah. You see? Our great respect for medical science is something that is proper, is right, that we should respect it, but there are things that are far higher than the practice of medicine or law or whatever we need, Amen. The ministration of the Word of God to the lives of the people to solve the real, real root of the problem, Amen. Are you listening to me? Hallelujah. So the United Nations, Amen. The United Nations is a great organization, the World Health Organization. Thank God for your life, but you cannot take away the problems of the world. Have you? Have you have they? Since the United Nations was found more there are more wars that the world is heading towards a serious conflagration. Conflagration. Check it. Conflagration is a fire that bends over a large area and destroys property. The world is headed to a fire that bends over a large area and destroys property. Conflagration. Yeah, major conflagration. Human beings have never invented weapons that they did not use. Amen. So, brothers and sisters, the United Nations cannot do what you alone can do. So God is recruiting more preachers. Jonathan and David, are you excited that you are being recruited to do this great and important work? What which other job could? You be a policeman. I mean to say come, stop. These six cars should come. These three cars should. Go following idiotics who have guns, drunkards drinking drunkards. You want to be a policeman? You want to be an immigration officer to stamp two weeks, 2 weeks? You write whatever, put your forefingers on, put your tongue photograph. Oh, want to be a bus driver to drive from here to here? Seven times. All the way here and all the way back. All the way here, all the way back, all the way here, all the way back. Seven times a day. And then you sign that you've done it 7 times, then you go back. Want to be a gynecologist every day? You want to go and see blood? Babies are coming out with poo poo. Blood putting on things other. You see now. You want to be a psychiatrist Every day you sit in front of mad people because. I'm the president of. America, I'm going to the, I'm going to the I'm going to work.

He that goeth forth to and fro, carrying his bag of seeds, shall surely return with. Shouts of joy Hallelujah, your bag of the seeds of the Word of God. Seeds of the Bible preaching the word of God. They the one who is going to come back with sounds of joy like this video People they you rather should. Move around. Cannot control us. Will you allow them to control you? You are standing there, you want to control life. Are we act in a film? Joking thought that. Giving you a. Proper job, Carry your bags of seats. Bibles, books, CDs, messages, preachings of the Word. What are you talking about? Proper work? You say you want to be a lawyer. People, squirrels every day, people divorces, people quarrel, lie. So you are defending a thief? You are saying the thief is not a thief. They said When you are a lawyer and you die, they bury you with your face. Downward because you've told. Liza, have you heard of that? Before. Yeah, they said they bury when they are Doctor everybody else you lie on your back, but Doctor they. Tell you a lawyer, they tell you on your face. Because you are a liar. You've told Liza you have defended people. Yeah, I heard it long ago. Lawyers are buried with their face. Yeah, I mean, Bishop Sake was once defending a madra. Yeah, and the madra the person who is murdered also has. Relatives and you are. Trying to let the madra go free. It's good that he stopped that job. Say, Oh no, he should be free. He should be free. He hasn't done anything. He should be free. He took a piece of paper and he tore it in front of the of the of the of the of the jury. He thought he was acting a filminger in America. Oh God, well, he has promoted us all. What a job carry around to and fro. With seats. Bag of. Seats. Sowing seats. And, and, and, and you see sometimes both the, I don't know whether it's a government or the critics or journalists or people who don't understand, they can't understand when pastors are honored. But you see the. Problem is that or the thing. Is that? Those who have been affected by preaching, they know how much they've been affected. So when they are carrying their lives possessions to go and lay it at the apostle. Speak and say take. This I would have. Been one person wrote to me and said he gave me an offer. I said oh you know, he said. He said I would have been broke if I didn't met you, and I would have been. I would have gone to hell if I hadn't met you, and now my whole life would have been useless if I hadn't, he said. That's a fact that's true. That's what that is. How I don't want to say how thou was the even thy own life. Also besides so that's. Something that people can't understand. Why? Why do you why this open? Why does he have this? Why do you have see? It's like you, you don't even know what that person means because the what the what the person has done, the police couldn't do. How many were bad before? Police couldn't do, Your mother couldn't do. Your father couldn't do. Yeah, I have pastors who have been very bad. Before that's all that. They don't tell their stories. I have pastors who. Used to sleep with their aunties, the. Auntie will come to the house with clothes elderly. Aunties. Come with cloth. It's like this, their mother. I mean their mothers. Sisters, and I mean relatives, and they're all aunties and they're small boy. You sleep with them, you service them. And you see them now collar in the name of Jesus, God, God, they are not be saying. They are not be saying hey see them in a collar preaching, officiating where the holy. Reverend, a holy man. Recently I consecrated somebody as a Bishop and as I look at him, he was wearing white, white with a white this thing just said recently and as I look at him, he looked like even more holy than even the Pope. And the guy said that he. Was he used to? Be a gangster and yeah, gang. Gang leader. Yeah, this is the word gangster. What is Gangster? It's a Bishop in. White from gangster to Bishop A gangster is a member of an organized group of violent criminals. Organized criminals. Now he has become a Bishop from gangster to Bishop, violent criminal to Bishop. By what means? United Nations. World Health Organization vaccinations Has he been vaccinated? Against criminal criminal behavior. Medicine. Something. Education. No, he's not educated. The power of God. Power of God what? What are you talking about? This is the work you have been called. To do to. Take challenge, carry a bag, carry a bag to and fro, to and fro. Are you tired of travelling for gone? Are you tired that I said that the first thing that I saw? In full time ministry was that you can travel because one of the main works of ministry is to travel. When you go to the center of London to visit, what is his name? John Wesley's church that he built, where he's buried. You will find there that they wrote the statistics said that John Wesley ordained about 1000 ministers and about 1600 itinerant ministers, something like that. There are two categories, the people who stay and the travelling people. Is he traveling to and through to and that's why establishes the work? More than anything else. To and for travelling here up. And down, up and. Where is he, Bishop Eddie's going? Up and down, up and down, Bishop. Up and down we are. All moving here we. Are none of us are there could. I don't even know where they are now. I'm not sure where exactly where they are. I'm not. Sure, exactly where they are. They are all in Ghana now, yeah. I've not heard from them for some time. Up and down, up and down, up and down. We are all moving to and fro, to and fro, to and fro, to and fro, to and fro. Yeah, with bags of seeds. Bags of seeds. Preaching the word. Sharing the word, Ministering the word. Isn't it all fantastic? A lady you see the ladies out of. Due to fine protocol they cannot see it where they have been coming from. Before arriving in town. Fine protocol would not. Allow us to say where. Have you been? What have you been? What what what ladies said when I mentioned up to the 1st 5. After that, I think it's not good. I can continue, yeah, but No 2. Yes, after the first. Five, I think it's a bit some way. I just I just talk about 5 of them, the big 5. This is what Christ has done. And he want me to lower that job and come down to sharing Panadol, Tylenol sleeping tablets. Can you buy it off the counter? Yeah. Are you there? Do you want to do a higher job? Are you ready to carry a bag of seeds? Are you ready to move away from your saturation points? Swiss pastas Geneva is saturated. Passes have become. Ashes passes are now. Queries. Test passes are playing organ, so there's no work for pastas. Instead of applying to go to Chad, apply to go to the dark. Corners. So that you'll be. Sent down on mission and preach. There you see pastors go to a church. You see pastors as ashes. Asha is a pastor, so all the church have been appointed as pastors. There's an overload. Because of money. Money. Money is what it's a one team. Because of money, the first has become an Asha. Well, God. Is calling us to go and attack the roots. And that's why this thing works. Everywhere we go, we don't know. You don't need, you don't need to be. You don't need to come from that country. It's not a national medicine, it's not an education in a language, a spiritual solution to the heart of the person. I'm telling you that's why we are standing here. There are different nationalities. Mention different nationalities you are from. Huh. Jamaica, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda. Huh. Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe, Barbados, Jamaica, Dominica, Ghana, Ghana, Sudan. Who is from Uganda? Shah, Sarah. Yeah, Trinidad. Look at that. You see now it's not a medicine for a particular group of people. It's. Something that affects our. Souls, Man, Saddam, Saddam. Some of you have bag of seed. The seeds in your bag are more than the members you are looking at. They have more seeds than the members. Because of where you choose to be, it's true. Because of money, you are at a place where there are few fields. Now there is a death sentence on all men because of this problem that we all have. It's true. Every sickness we have is from sin. All the agents of death are descending on us to try to complete. Their work. That was a sin. When it is finished, bring forth death. So when Sin has finished working in Marcella, Marcella will die. Wow. Yeah, a nice person like you when sin is finished. No, you, your body will just stop. Click, click. It's finished when Sin is finished. When sin is finished, it brings forth death. All sicknesses are caused by sin. All forms of sickness are caused by my back is caused by sin. Either sin have recently committed or sin have committed in my life, or sins that are prevailing in my life, or sins in the past, or sins of my parents. I mean, it's all by sin. That's of course such a problem. Back pain and when it's. Completed it would have. Ended my life completely. And my heart would just. And all the blood that is going around stop. Yeah, your eyes will close. That's what the fate of lying, stealing, bad thoughts, deceptions, bitterness, wickedness, unforgiveness, jealousies, fornications, adulteries, all the things in our lives. What is this? One day a certain man, I watched his documentary myself. He was accused of shooting a policeman. Have you seen that film before? Policeman in America? He said he didn't do. Several years went by, I think seven years. He defended the sentence to that. Appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal. In the end they said no, no, appeal everything. They said you are going. So he was a. Big. Because the case was half and half, he said he did not shoot the policeman. So they decided to execute him. And as they were going to execute him, they filmed it. This one, we watched it live. His family came. All his family members, they came to him. He was just cool. Like they had a line that what, what would he like to eat? They would like to eat filet, whatever, potatoes, there's that. So all the family members came. They filmed everything. He had a new restaurant. I mean, the canteen place for him had his last dinner. The execution was like maybe 9:00. So it's like 7:00 there. All the people came. They. Showed all his sisters. Then all that. Then they all hugged him. Bye bye, bye bye this that went oh. Some way at the end the everybody had to go and he was left with his lawyer and I think his pasta. I was watching it. It's so sad that particular, I don't even want to remember the guy's name. When they took him, then the last two people were with him and then they went in, they took him and they executed him. So when they came out, there's a press conference, the lawyer and the past. So they asked the pastor, what did you tell him? What did he say? Did he confess? Did he say I killed him? No, no, he said he didn't kill the policeman. He did not kill the policeman the last, he said no killer. And he asked, So what did you tell him then? The pastor said, I told him that and I'll never forget what he said. I told him that there is a death sentence on all of us here as well, only that we don't know the day that it will be carried out. But yours is being carried out today, and I don't know anybody here on whom there's no death sentence that has been determined that you should die. Why? Why is everybody? Sentenced to death. Philippa, stand up a nice lady like you. Turn around so they can see how beautiful you are. Why should? Why? Should a nice person like you one day you your body will be decomposed. close your eyes, your body will be decomposed and see that the eyes are are coming out. This place has become red and brown and the, the the. Head the whole body is changing, inside is turning. To worms. Why? Is that her end? Why does she have to go into that box? Such a nice person. Why it's a problem? It's a serious problem in the world. No matter what you've accomplished in this world, this is your destiny. Why? The problem is great except for all absent and the wages. Of sin is death. Whether we agree or we don't, we have sinned. Yeah. And that's why Christ came, and that's. The best? Only a. Preacher can do that's the most. Important I would like. To give myself, my wife, my. Children and anybody. That I can influence. To give himself to this particular work. Your persons. Don't even know the importance of the work that we have been assigned to do. You don't even know how great, how important it is. What a job. All of us are destined. Why? Because of the same. Amen. Are you there? Sit down. One day I went to the Moultrie. Now, I've seen many things in the Moultrie. Some are so gory that. You wouldn't believe it. One of our church members? A lady she died, I came to the module because I was I could not understand what she died of. So I went to the module. Everybody were about 6 people in their room like this 12345680 so everybody was lying. So I said wait, where is and I called her name up. Where is she? She said she's there. What? I said where? Where is she? That's. What I got said. Oh yes, open line. Up. She's not lying up. There's nothing inside. They have taken out all that. When I came, you say like you see how when you buy meat. Liver, intestines or that? Was her here and she was dead The. Inside place was empty. They have slice. Here, that's how they sell liver. Oh, we are talking about a beautiful lady. Why, why? Why? If you die without whatever, that's what could will happen to you. Why, why, why are we all? Headed to this disastrous. End No matter how much money we have and where we live and what we have and. How you? Live and how many vitamins you take and how much exercise you. Do and where you go and what you have. Why? Because sin is so. Much in doubt there's. So much evil and that's why God is calling and he says how many how? Many will go for me. How many will do my will, my bidding? This thing must be deep in your heart. Now you look at Christian most of us are so selfish who want to do anything and that's why I'm I'm impressed with those of you who say yes here I am, here I am. Send me and those of you who will not even go. Then supporters and let us feel that there's no greater. Supporter than this person who is supporting me, helping me to go. God has. Chosen that by the foolishness of preaching he will save people. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Amen, because it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. He sent his word, and he healed them. Amen. How much foolishness, how foolish does preaching look? And yet, preaching is the chosen method by which God plants His seed, which overcomes. The death, that is. In all men, Amen. God has chosen that by the foolishness. First Corinthians 121 How many want to save men? Jesus said, If you believe in me, you shall never die. Amen. Never die, Yao, you never die. Death has entered the world. Now our sins are increasing. People don't even realize that originally Methuselah lived for 969 years, then when they went and committed fornication with the sons of God, God reduced it to 120 years. Somebody should do that. Calculation 120 / 969 * 100. See what percentage of life was left after committing 1 fornication 969 years and it reduced to 100. The law said in Genesis 6, verse three, My spirit shall not always strive with men. Seeing that it's also. Flesh. How much is that 80? Percent 80% of your life. Gone by. Committing fornication. Ejaculation. PPPP and then 80% of maybe the days are finished. That's why if you are a young man, you must, you must get you must get a wife as early as possible. You must choose one of the girls. OK, choose one of the girls as early as possible and then stay with her and commit love instead of committing fornication. Have. Sex all the time, anytime. You feel something, call. It come, come, please. I'm feeling something. Yeah. Call it. Come, come. I need you I. Need you. I need you now. Come. I'm feeling something. 80% Please do the calculation 8787.75 by putting. Your penis into that stinking hole. Don't. Don't say that I'm Vagga. I'm saying something, a certain pastor said because of a stinking hole. Your whole life is changing. SH 80. 7.5% for that, and then it reduced from 120 to 7080 years, 70 years. So now check that one too. How much of that is gone? How much is left? That's how much sin has reduced our lives. The effect of sin is very well the sense of God went to communicate fornication with the the the whatever daughters of whatever fornication with them. So you must try some sort of sometimes that in our life is like our. Lives are even shorter. So we go. And do certain things. Yeah, The thing is getting. Finished I see HIV shows you a direct. Correlation between. Sin and whatever, but there are so many other indirect. Ways that you don't even know 41% look, I mean from 969 to 70 years what has what is there? People were not celebrating 40th, but they were celebrating for this my 400 years birthday. So we're having a 400 year birthday, 500 years birthday. You said 30 years. 21 years. 18 years. Old 18 years birthday 21st birthday 40th birthday There's a severe reduction in life by. Sin 969 to 70. 90 3% of your life is gone, hey? This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
