All right. Now the world has its version of everything, and in Christ we have our version of everything. OK, so as a Christian you have to get used to the idea that there is a godly variety of almost everything. Amen. Are you there because Ephesians chapter 2?

Welcome to track #13 of who is he that overcomes the world? Chapter 9. The worldly version and the godly version of almost everything. Now are you there? Who is talking? OK, somebody's talking. All right. Now the world has its version of everything, and in Christ we have our version of everything. OK, so as a Christian you have to get used to the idea that there is a godly variety of almost everything. Amen. Are you there because Ephesians chapter 2? Let's Stand There shows us how much things of the world are really governed by the devil. And you have he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. Amen. You were as he quickened, who were dead in trespassing, since wherein in times past you worked according to the course of this world. Amen, according to the Prince of the power of the air, the Spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience, among whom we all have our conversation of behavior. Conversation in the Kijian Bible is an old word. All the new versions change the word conversation. Conversation doesn't mean the same thing today. Conversation in times past, in the lasts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and where by nature the children of wrath, even as others, so in the world. This vest describes what an unbeliever is very well, he says, among whom we all had our behavior in the last of the flesh. Again, you see the desires of the flesh, like when you stick a, a young lady, you see that the desire of her flesh is among the seven girls who came mostly for greatness, fame, importance. Do you understand? Which is the same offer that the serpent gave to Eve. You will be like God. You know everything. And he didn't give it to the man. He gave it to the woman and she took it. It'd be great. You'd be wild. You'd be Mrs. Whatever you'd be, Madam. This instead of thinking of what it means that you even leave your church, Will you be able to come to First Life Church when you are in the palace? That one, it doesn't matter at all. You say that you are going to a church, an African church there visible. Do they believe in God? They don't even believe in God. But you, you, you took it straight away because the greatness was offered to you. You accepted it. So we all lived in the past. That's fulfilling. Everybody say fulfilling the last of the flesh. That is the difference, the mark between the difference of an unbeliever and a Christian or the well and not the well. That not that we don't have the desires, we have the desires. Every girl wants importance and greatness and wants to be married to somebody who makes her importance even more important and makes her her greatness even greater. Every girl wants that. Yeah. Every girl would prefer to be married to a doctor rather than to A than to an illness. True or true or not true? Yeah, the doctor sounds more powerful than an illness. Wow. So thank God that he's showing us that these are not abnormal desires. They are there, but they are the desires that the the devil feeds on. He sucks those things in the flesh, then it gets bigger and destroys you. He knows that we have them, the boys too. We have lot of desires for sex. We are very, very sexual. Look, in nature the man, the male is more sexual than the female. All the animals, you find out that the female lies down quietly while the male jumps on the female and the female says the coolest. Like I understand whether it's horses, camels, zebras or lions, leopards, they lie down quietly and allow the male to accept himself and do what he's trying to do and that when it finishes, then they all move away. Wow. This is what is worrying the brothers. Brothers, is it not true? And for the sisters, what is worrying you? Greatness, isn't it? You want to be great, Wow. But you see, you don't get healed and you don't develop power over things when they are secret in secret. If you have a problem and it is a secret, you are always keeping it in secret. It becomes more powerful. You know, I saw that when you have a marital problem and you don't share it, the problem gets bigger. It's like a disease. You don't say it. It gets bigger and bigger. So it's better to be open. The more open you are, the problem, to your surprise, others have it. Even the Doctor Who is treating you has that same sickness which you didn't want to say and his is even bigger than yours. You get it. So openness because when I treat some of these days, and I say especially the sisters, they all look as if while we don't really know what you are talking about. No, we don't really understand what you are saying. Well, it's not all of us, you know, not all girls. Some of us are not into whatever. Well, me, I don't think all those things don't let you be cured. It's rather the spirit of the serpent, deception to cover up and not accept that you are just a normal person. It's humility to accept that you are normal. It takes a lot of humility to see how base you are. Yeah, to see that you are not anything different from what's in the Bible. So when sometimes we say this is all brothers, we these are problems. Hey, we say, look, we are liberating ourselves and bringing the problem out to the open. Then we see they say, yeah, you know, my flesh feels like it actually, Yeah, we are going to just control it. But I, I can't lie to you that, you know, the way things are, it's hot, man. It's a hot. It's a hot day. Wow, are you understanding me? And the sisters do the same. So, yeah. Charlie, I I I need royalty. Why not? Every girl once real who doesn't want to marry the Prince. Now all those who didn't come to the front want to marry Princess. Don't mind them at all. You think we are deceived by the fact that you didn't come there? Yeah. It's just that these ones came, you know? And I'm going to give all seven of them a special prize each. They came to help my preaching. Yeah. Wow. Isn't it fantastic? Isn't it amazing? Yeah. So the difference is that when we were in the world, we were fulfilling these desires, but not that we we don't have them. We have them. So when you sit by a non believer, he's having the desire, you are also having the desire, but you are not fulfilling yours. That's where the difference comes in between a Christian and a non Christian. Now that I'm a believer, I'm an I'm an osopho. I don't have feelings again. Oh, Molly. Accepting young lady married a pastor when they entered into the marriage chamber and then the pastor started doing certain moves. Let's just say, hey pastor, what are you expecting of me? Are you expecting prayers at this time? Are you expecting declarations of faith? Are you expecting fastings? Are you expecting a worship time? He has been having desires for years. I know that he has not been fulfilling them. Now he has got an opportunity to fulfill them and that once you are trying to inhibit him. Is it nice if fine or no? Fine, No fine. As a normal creature of creation, you must lie down quietly like a zebra and allow the male zebra to do what he can do. And then after you go, you get what I'm saying? Tell your neighbor I'm a good creation. Good creature of creation. Yeah. Wow. Now there is a wealthy version, therefore, of everything. And the wealthy version is brought about by these two things, the fact that the world is fulfilling what it feels, and the church is not fulfilling what it's feeling. It's feeling but not fulfilling. Like now you may be here, you feel like going to the toilet, and somebody will fulfill it. Some will not fulfill it and be sitting here. Are you understanding what I'm saying? Yeah, some fulfill it and some don't fulfill it. They hold it, but it's not like you are not. Wouldn't you like to marry a Prince too? Be very fantastic. She didn't. She didn't get her. But it would be fantastic. It would be fantastic. Would you like to marry a Prince too? You had a dream like that? Yeah, it's normal. It's normal. And I'm not the type of Mortimer. No, don't bring yourself at all. Don't bring yourself Omali. Yeah, OK. Now, when somebody fulfills the, the the passions and the desires, it becomes different from somebody who's not fulfilling it. Yeah, that is why you don't feel happy when you masturbate. What you feel about masturbation is a fulfilling of something like, Oh, so you, you don't feel so happy. It's like as you fulfilled a desire. Are you, are you understanding what I'm trying to say? Once you are crazy, any time you fulfill certain desire, you, you wonder about yourself. It's like again, I'm here again at the same place. You have to ask for forgiveness. What? You asked for forgiveness yesterday. And even when you were asking, you knew you would do it. Wow. So this creates worldly vision. Let's start with music. There's worldly music and spiritual music. Let the judge say Amen. And in the worldly music, you get it. It is being sung by men inspired by their passions, by demons, and even the words of the songs. You can see that there are there are songs for us to do something, isn't it oriented forward? The fulfilling of fashions and feelings. Wow. Some of you remember some of the words. What? What words do you remember one more time? What does it put awesome? Is that one more time? Quickly by that one more time, you know just the only word you remember is one more time. Wow, any other song? What song? Just say just smile when the rain is gone. To me, waiting for my heart, what can? You say? I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to be the reason why anytime I walk at the door I see you got a little while inside. I don't want to hurt in any. What's inside? What's your? Inside, I don't want to be in the drop. I don't. I don't want to be a Madera A. What I know there are madra. I want to be what? She doesn't want to be unfaithful to the guy, so she doesn't want to be a madra, something like that. And. When you listen to the song, it is it is all inspired to fulfill more desires. Yeah, very, very sensual. So when you listen to such music, you are, you see that your passions, which are already there, they are waiting for this matches to light it. And you have got the song to light it like that. You see that the fire is in you what? Do it to me one more time. R Kelly has the slow wind. Would you wind for me? Slow wind for me. Wind whine whine whine whine which means I move the time was move your waist for me one more time the. Time was come. To do all of me, the fact that you have been hearing, I've never heard these songs before. Never. It keeps me like this and when you touch me like that, it's so hard to believe that it's all coming back and when you hold me like this. Hey. Hello. We've got the singers here. I tell you, we have the music in the system. Power Anymore music. Yes. It's a song by Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye. I've been really, really trying baby to hold back this feeling for so long. Come on. Oh come on, let's get it on. Like let's get it on. Like let's go in and have sex. So, so you are an elder or a pasta and you are in your room listening to this and your pillow is the one suffering. Wow, Yes. Oh, that's one here. Keep quiet. What differences? Yes. John Legend, all of me. What would I do without your smile, mouth drawing me in and you kicking me out? Got my head spinning. No kidding. I can't pinch you down. What's going on in that field? So. Are you supposed to listening to these songs? No, wait, it's a it's an important question. Listen, yes. Mr. Pogo. Please listen, I've asked a question, I want an answer. They can't say no because they were singing along with him and this song is a very current song, so if they know. How How current is the song? I don't know, but it's the song that is being played. Fourteen I think. So is the song has been played around everywhere on camp. Then. So then this is your camp? Yeah, this is your camp, Lucy. So as we are here singing, what? I'm a friend of God, and what else? Soon and very soon then you are also with us and you are listening to us, All of me, you see. And it is that dilution that leads to Baroness. So it's not you see. It's not that you don't have soon, and very soon you have it. It's not that you don't have what for the song through it all you have it, but you are mixing it with something else, Lizzy and and the danger. Please listen, the danger here is that you are deceiving yourself. Now in you there's a strong conviction that you have God. You have God, you have the word of God. You have the Bible on your iPad. You have some of you here have got unbelievable music on your phone. Listen, is there anybody here with unbelievable music on your phone? Stand to your feet. Stand 1. And these are the ones who are going to overcome 2-3. Yes. See, as soon as you stand up, you have exercised authority over that weakness. Yeah. And if you sit down, it has rather exerted power over your life, and you will be under forever. I'm waiting for you to stand up. I'm saying that if you are here and you have. Listen, I've been having meetings with my pastors. You know, sometimes I go. I used to have a general meeting with all my shepherds and then we go through the work yard. You know, one day I just failed. I should have meetings with the pastor and his shepherds. So a pastor comes with one shepherd, a pastor comes two shepherds, pastor comes five. Then I was recently, did I say this the last time the last come, I was with a pastor and a shepherd talking about the wake of God and I saw his phone, a nice iPhone and I just felt that no, this phone line here has got unbelievable songs on it. So the discussion just changed and I asked him that do you listen to unbelievable music? There was no answer and I said, do you have unbelievable music on this phone? If you don't answer me, I know where to find the songs that he brought it out. This is just a few months ago. A shepherd. R2 beasts in my church. Listen, listen, please listen. R2B's Shattawali was on it. The third one, I don't remember. The third one, no Sarkodie. Something else. Now listen. Listen very carefully. So what we are seeing here is not strange. I'm saying that if you are here and you have unbelievable even 1 on your phone, stand up and have power over it. I'm waiting for you to stand up. Those who are standing, keep standing. You are, you are, you are exercising power over worldliness. But as you sit down, aha, so somebody is standing up, more are standing. I'm waiting for you to stand up. You see, it says this life that leads to weakness, barrenness. You are around, you have the word, you have the music, you have everything a Christian should have plus the unbeliever songs you see, And that is what leads to lukewarmness. Lukewarmness is not coldness. It means that when you say water is lukewarm, it means the water is hot plus cold. So yeah, the water has the hot water. You have the hot water in the bucket and then you have also poured cold water in it. Water you should not have poured into it has been poured into it. Meanwhile, somebody else also has the same amount of hot water. I have 3 liters of hot water. You have 3 liters of hot water, but you are going to pour one litre of ice water into your hot water. So you have exactly what I have, but you are powerless because you have mixed it with something you didn't have mixed it with, you see. So I'm, I'm very happy that you stood up. Standing up means that you are rejecting that life as you go remove those things from your life. So, so see, this camp is a very, very, very practical camp. There's nothing theoretical you can't understand. You can't relate to it. You see, You see from the sisters who came here, it is happening now and there are more of you who have got other things on your phone, pornography. There are people here with pornography on your iPad. If we I mean, I'm not into this high tech thing, but if we take your iPad and like those guys who can go into your history and connect your iPad to something that shows what you have been browsing, we'll see pornographic websites, all those if you have something like on your on your iPad 1, I mean, just one clip, a 2 minute clip on your phone, stand up and let's see, let's see. I mean be be real and have power over it. Stand up, just stand up. You have you are a sister, you are a brother. You got something small, just a clip that was there. Even you deleted it last week, but you had it. Somebody has stood up and you know I'm telling you, you will not be the same again. One you sit down, you have power over it. Yeah. 1 you stand for as long as you are sitting down. It is dominating your life. So stand up if you are here like that. Has someone just stood up or these are all the music plus one? Yeah. Who else is standing up? You've got some clip of pornography, one some episode, small episode yes, be real and stand to your feet. If you want to serve God, if you want to be anointed, if you want to be used by God, free yourself. Like the sisters who came, they freed themselves by saying what was in their heart and they have been treated. So stand up. I'm waiting for you to stand up. 1 yes, on your phone, phone, iPad, tablet, laptop, there's a laptop, your old laptop is where you have been storing the things, but your iPad there, there's nothing on it. But you have the the laptop in your in your room CD, you have the CD there. Stand your feet. I'm waiting for you. One has stood up, you see, so there's more. I'm waiting for you to stand. Just just one minute. Stand up. You are being delivered. No one is going to lay fans on you. You are not going to pour oil on it. But just by getting up, strength has come to say no to the let's pray Father. I pray for these ones who are standing. We release power over the works of the enemy. We release strength into their lives. We ask for strength for them to overcome the world and the things that are in the world. Grant them the ability to one day stand as your anointed vessels, as missionaries, pastors, serving you without any trace of worldliness in them. For when the praise of this world comes, may he find nothing in their lives, in their ministry, may they not be brought down one day because of things that should have been taken away, that were allowed to linger. Thank you Lord, for victory over the world in Jesus name, Amen. Be seated. Amen. John 1836. There is a worldly version of everything. There's a worldly method of everything, Music, film, dressing, school, relationship. There's a there's a worldly relationship, worldly marriage, yes. And there's a a godly one sober, godly and righteous, our super righteous and godly SRC and VW. Remember UW SRC has a VW and godliness and wealthy last. Now Jesus answered when they were trying to catch him. Then my Kingdom is Jesus and my Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews? But now is my Kingdom not from. Hence you see, my Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom was of this world, you will see me doing something different. Yeah, you will see a different thing altogether. Yeah, completely. You did not see me standing here cooling like that. People are coming to kill me. People are doing this. I'm just having their coating scriptures. That is not how you behave in the real world or in this world. You don't stand and quote scriptures when they are arresting you. You fight to defend yourself. You explain. You do so many things, but there is a version you see, Pilot said. I am, am I Jew. Your own Asian priest have delivered thee unto unto thee. And what have you done? Jesus answers that my Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom was this world, you will say something different. I know how I know Taekwondo, I know Karachi. My steppers will fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews. But now it's my Kingdom, not from hence I don't, I don't come from here. So I'm not going to use a worldly method and a worldly thing to fight. I'll not use worldly music, worldly dressing to get a beloved. You know, you see, when you use worldliness to get a beloved you, you are going to have a different kind of beloved, yes. You see, if you are from this world, to get a man, you have to do the things that they do in the world. You sleep with them because men also sleep with you to see your performance. To see your performance. Like how are you like in bed? Are you lively? Are you like a deer? Are you like an antelope? Are you like a hippopotamus? They want to taste you and rape you. Sometimes after one experience, they never come for you again because you were raped very poorly. When I was looking for a beloved, I refused to go by that method. Yeah, I refuse it because in my wife's family, most of them had been pregnant before they got married and I could see that that was that was what they wanted for pregnancy. First. Everybody was pregnant before they they were allowed to marry. I said no, if we will be barren, we should be barren or whatever. Because I cannot do that. If my Kingdom was of of this world, I would I would do that. If I was of the world and I'm going to marry. Oh, I would taste and see. Wow. I would try different girls. So this one is like an eagle. This one is like an antelope. This one is like a hippo. This one is like what? A mountain goat. This one is strong like a horse. She's like a zebra. This one is like a camel, which never lies down and never sleeps. It's very strong. Say a camel, a giraffe. They don't lie down easily whole life. They don't lie down whole life. He doesn't lie down. He stands, throw strips on his feet. Never lies down. If you find a giraffe, lie down. Maybe 5 minutes. Immediately gets up after 5. Yeah, he doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't lie down. I will have got somebody who's like a giraffe. He's strong. Yes. Testing. Mike 1-2. Testing M12. But you cannot do that. That's what Jesus was saying. You think I don't know how to fight? You think I don't know about the worldly methods. There's a worldly method of getting a man. You, you do certain things to get the man, but there's only certain type of man you will get, you know. And I use the girls. I used the girls to show you that story. But I had the same story with boys. I had three or four guys, I think. I don't know which country they were, Zambia or some other country. But before they left Canada, they never, they never had beloveds. So when they were there as a missionary, they wrote so that we, we want you to help us to find beloveds. So we asked her, what kind of beloved do you want? And to our surprise, the the descent sizes with numbers for the what do you call it? Yeah, the set of up here this is the size, and of down here, this is the size. I mean actual numbers. What? What is that? What are they looking at? The last of their eyes, the last of their flesh. Yes. And some people even want to marry a rich woman so that she will help him financially. Or somebody with a British passport or an American passport or a green card. When I see you have a green card, you are going to the States. So yes, I'm I'm in love, but you are not in love at all and you see it after. Woe to you if you're a good brother and you've married one of these girls. Obama K Charlie, you are not laughed. You sit and look and cry out. Oh Lord. Look at what has happened to me since I married Araba Lucy, a mobile. SO everything you do ask yourself, you want to do the worldly way. You see the guy, you'll get somebody who looks at sizes so she's perfect. He'll try you, test you then have one baby and come all the ladies you are seeing. Then they have children. Oh, not a flat, but it's not flat. Oh, not being a flat, it's not flat. Yeah, People think it is about men who have potbellies, but because we don't wear dresses, that is why you see us first as having potbellies. We don't wear. That's what they call it, dress. If I was wearing a dress, you'd never see mine. They have more potbellies. Yeah. Oh, not left flat, but the pot is there. Now you see that you've changed. It used to be like this. Now you are like this. Like a mahogany tree. True or not true? It's what I'm saying. True. Do you know about what I'm talking about? Yeah. And now the man that you use your body to get and charm him, now you see that you don't even have the vitamins. You need to take vitamins to do what is. And there are other frisky girls in the system with more styles, with newer ways of enchanting elderly men. Wow, what are you going to do? You, you charmed the wrong guy. You should have gotten a beloved with the Christian way. What's the Christian way? Christian way? Be a good girl. Keep your virginity. If you've lost your virginity, keep the modified virginity scored MV MVI International. You keep the MVI intact. You stay in the House of God, worship the Lord, be a good sister, be a good sister be coming to check the humble share the word be a nice person, pleasant and you see that people will even notice you that oh, that sister. What about that sister, the nice sister there. What about this one? She she comes to chair, she's around, she's practiced, she's flowing. They will start to recommend you. They don't need to use your your breasts. You don't need to use it because I tell you you, you might you see that the breast that you see it here that you see it here. It is here. It is not there. It is not here. Now that brother who you felt was not an exciting brother, the one who said let the church say Amen. He doesn't even know the positions of the breath when he sees it. Standing here, he would think that that is how it is, so he just takes it as a taste. But this experienced guy who has seen apples and other things, eggs, when he sees it, he says no, no, no, no. My wife is an old lady. I need a young fresh. And there are people who get small, small girls plenty just like how you some of you have been sleeping with people's husbands. Your husband today will be they also be sleeping with your husband for you nicely. Yeah, that's as you saw it. You also experience it. Wow. And you brothers, you follow the last of the the way to get a Christian beloved is not to look at hips, the following hips. Even when you marry, you wouldn't see that hip. ABBA Kavali with a big claw, moving to the house angrily there with a big watch, is marching to the house. She's bored, bored with everybody shouting, shouting at this, shouting at this, shouting at a lot of quiet ladies who are not a quiet, but they shout, shout at this, shout at this, shout at this, shout at the children, shout at this boy, shout at this, shout at this. Oh, you've not seen one before. How many have seen? Shouting pork belly, shouting pork belly. Lady with breasts that have gone downstairs waterfall. That breast you were following is a cardboard. That cap you were following is a cardboard. Yes. You shouldn't have followed it. You should have looked for the character of the person, the heart of the person. Does she love the Lord? Does she follow good things? Is she patient? Can she be rebuked? Does the pastor she obey? The pastor has. How long has she been in the church? Or she just came as a hunter? Just came 1234. No, she come around and a new person, there was a sister here that you know. You wouldn't take that one, you'd take a stranger. Bible warns you about marrying strangers. Don't marry new people, don't marry new people, marry old ones. The Bible warns about a strange woman. He said if she's the stranger within, she just came. You don't have to marry a new person. You have to marry a well known person that not only you know, but a number of people know. Listen, this is a cave. I'm not. I'm talking to you. Don't think about others. I don't know why people like to listen to things that don't belong to them. I'm talking to you as we are here now. Yeah, some people want to listen to cave. They doesn't belong to them. I'm talking to you and practically we are here. Yeah. I'm telling you how to marry in the Christian way. Yeah, Wendell Togo was looking for his wife. He knew her by the Christian method. She brought him even to the to the church, the House of the Lord. She brought him to Christ witnessing, witnessing she he is the combat of his wife. Yeah, he is the combat of his wife. And they were working together as born again Christians in the church fellowship for the for years. Let's talk about you see a strange processor. When I was praying, I saw through the corner of my eye. Stupid boy, just put your eyes straight and start asking questions. We have stopped following the last of the eyes since this camp ended. There is a wildly way of achieving things and there is a Christian way of achieving things. We want an atmosphere. We have atmosphere for Christians. You don't need to listen to those. You should even know the spirits that are coming. When you start listening to the music, you become charged. Charged. Yeah. There's a Christian way to pass exams. There's a Christian way to be promoted. When you go to police, you don't have to sleep with everybody. Sleep with the minister of blue clouds, minister of white clouds, minister of green grass, minister of this deputy minister of stones and and sun, sun and stone. No, but in the world you sleep your way through, you sleep away with the MD, you sleep away with this sleep away with somebody's husband. The worldly way to attract you have to do hair. Everything is hair, face makeup. There's that look, brothers. When you see the makeup, when you see, look carefully at the line to no makeup. When you look at the face, please. It's too smooth. The face is too smooth. It's too fair. It's too perfect, too shiny. Immediately, I'm telling you, Zoom, zoom, zoom. Zoom. Alex. Code red. Alex. It's too smooth. It's too nice. The hair is too bad. How come her hair has grown so much? It hasn't grown. It is not hair. It hasn't grown. Why you do this? I need you to come up. I mean occasionally you should sort of trip and as you are falling down you see that. So more you are a boy. Tell your neighbor there is a worldly method of everything. Yeah #2 there is worldly wisdom, worldly wisdom. There is a worldly version of wisdom, for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 1st Corinthians 319 17 The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. But then another type of wisdom, James 317 the wisdom that is from above. Above there is another version of wisdom, another version of wisdom, and that version of wisdom is peaceful, gentle, easy to be advised. Huh. Not. Not intractable, stubborn. Easy to be like this camp. You should have been entreated. You see, our brother Nanaya was explaining. We talk about Mudgic. Whatever. Some people are not easy to be entreated. When you preach, they hope they will do the opposite. They will do the exact opposite of what you say. Yeah, exact opposite. When I preach like I'm preaching, there are some people who do the opposite of what I'm saying. Yeah, you. You'll be surprised when we are all together. Some people cannot easily be entreated. You have to suffer in this life before you. You get sense easy to be untreated, full of messy. It is wise to be merciful, full of good fruits. It's wise to have fruits without partiality. It's wise not to be partial and without hypocrisy. That is the wisdom from above. Wow. Wisdom from where, Abu Abu, are you listening to me? The wisdom from Abu. So there's there's there's wisdom. So when an unbeliever is talking, they often they can give you wealthy wisdom. Since you're not getting married, go and find a handsome man and have a child with him. That's all. Yeah. Since you're not getting married, do this and that. Since this and that, do this. When you go to the workplace, do this. There's worldly wisdom. It seems to be getting you somewhere. But there is wisdom that is from above. That wisdom is pure. It's wise to be pure. It's peaceful. It's wise to be at peace with your father. Those of you who have conflicts with parents, you are not a wise person. As a parent, I can tell you one of the most foolish things is to not flow with your, your, your, your parents as a parent, because I have children and I can see that the destiny of my children change based on their relationship with me. Even as far as I'm concerned, as a parent, I even change their destiny myself based on their relationship with me. Oh, yeah. I assess them based on their relationship with me and I change their destiny as far as my powers are based on their relationship with me. Oh, cry. You, you, you don't believe me. You take me as a fool. You think that I what? I, what I all that God has done for me. I think you don't. You don't like the God that I like, the God that I have served, the God that has given me everything and done everything. You don't like that God, everything I am and I have and I do. It all comes from God. You don't like that God, your destiny will change. As far as my powers are concerned. Cry. So if you are a child, you see your parent, you should be careful with the parents. Your whole destiny. It is the most stupid thing for you not to have a good flow with your parents. It's stupid. That's why the Bible says the word of the wisdom from her birth is peace about peace. Peace in your home, peace with your mother, peace with your father, peace with your husband, peace with your wife. He's better. He's wise. That's the wisdom from above. But the wisdom that is from below. I'll stand for my right. I'll do this. Where are you now and where has it brought you to? What has it done for you? Stand up for your right. Stand up for nobody can cheat me this way. I'll start. Show. What has it done for you, fighter? What has it given you that's lost everything by all your fights? It's wise to be pure. It's wise to be real, really pure. Not that you look pure by you are not pure. Yeah, it's not easy not to be pure like you look pure by you are not really pure Inside and deep. It's not easy. It's wise. That's what the Bible says in James chapter 3. Gentle taking of time. Take your time. It's wise to take your time help the well. We want to rush things rushing, rushing rushing to be rich, rushing to be married rushing to have rushing to be great, rushing to be on top, rushing to have power rushing to be the leader rushing. But the Bible says that it's the wisdom from above is that you're peaceable and gentlers like taking off time is far better than forcing your way into things. Take your time, take your Nobody becomes great in a in a moment or occupies the highest position. Even that position, if they take it from the person who is there give it to you can't stay in it gentle easy to be entreated, huh? It's madness when no one can convince you. Yes look, you listen to my preaching over the years. It hasn't changed. It's same, the same. Serve God, choose God, put God first, follow him. It's the same message. There are some people who preach to them and they can never be entreated. It's not wise and it doesn't it doesn't lead to a good thing. Is it to be entreated. Full of good fruits, Full of messy? Yeah, full of messy. Wow. That's why we forgive. Somebody look at you and say, oh, but this guy, look at what he has done. How can you, how can you, how can you overlook? How can you forgive that? It's very serious. It's wise to be merciful. It's not like it is whatever it's wise to show messy. Yeah. Hallelujah. So I don't know what version of wisdom you are using, huh? Kind of quoting proverbs of wise men and all kinds of wise sayings start to follow the word of God. Can I have an Amen from somebody? So #1 is what? There's a wise version of what? Of what? Music? No, of everything, including music. There's a wise method. There's a wise version of everything. Ways. There's a wise, there's a wealthy way of doing everything. Amen. So worldly methods, worldly ways. Are you with me? Yeah. And the characteristic of this worldliness is the fulfilling of passions. Just do what you feel when it comes to you. Fulfill it. Go for it and exert it. Enjoy it. Amen #2 There's a, there's a worldly version of what #3 there is a wealthy version of of sorrow before I come to the wealthy version of sorrow, wealthy version of peace 10 to John chapter 14. And somebody should read it just reading it. John 14 One, not Fourteen, 61427. Peace I leave with you, My peace I'll give to you not as the world gives, Give I to you. Let not your heart be. Troubled. Neither. Let it be afraid. Amen. My what peace I give to you not once. As the world giveth, isn't it give I unto you? Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. So peace that is given to you is my peace. The peace of God is different from the peace of this world. The peace of God passeth understanding. OK, you don't understand why you are at peace. Passes understanding and goes beyond understanding and that's the peace that God gives. So I say I have peace in my heart. Say, why do you have peace? Why are you at peace? Because you have another type of peace, the worldly peace. Everything has to be OK, but God's peace, everything doesn't have to be OK and you are still at peace. How many want God's kind of peace? Amen. So when you are looking for a beloved or you are looking for somebody to marry, what you need is the peace of God about it. You have the peace of God. Say, yeah, he's not tall enough, but I have peace. He's not rich, but I have peace. He's not fair, but I have peace. It's from another tribe that I have peace. You have the peace that passes understanding. That is, that is the peace of God. Hallelujah. What kind of peace do you want? I want everything to be OK. Then I'll be all right. A lot of ladies worry about things all the time. You shouldn't be worried because you don't have the peace of God. So how can I be at peace when everything you can be at peace? If it's the peace of God and it is the peace of this world, not as this world givers. You can never be at peace. Some of you will never sleep well. Oh, till you learn to have the peace of God, you will always take Valium till you die. Yeah. You cannot sleep in the night. Look, a lot of people are awake in the night. How many people are awake in the night that you are just there? Raise up your hand. No. Oh, yeah, raise your hand. A lot of girls, sometimes boys. You see that you are just awake. You can't sleep. You are thinking. Sometimes you cry like you feel sad. Hey, you don't understand what I'm talking about. Do you understand? You don't seem to understand it. Do you understand that you are feeling hungry? The next one is sorrow of this world. Second Corinthians Chapter 7, 2nd Corinthians Chapter 7. Now verse 10. We can read from verse 9 or verse 8. For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent. For I perceive that the same epistle had made you sorry, although it were about for a season. Now I rejoiced not that you were made sorry, but that he sorrowed to repentance. For ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might damage us in nothing. Godly sorrow wecketh repentance to salvation, but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Sorrow of where? The world. So the world also has its version of sorrow. And what does that version of sorrow do? Worketh death. Your lunch has not yet come. OK, this is the last point. So now listen, anybody who is always sorrowful, it's wicked death. Yeah. Very bad characteristic you can ever have in a person. Oh, yeah. And there are a lot of people like that, ownerless smiley. But Charlie, sorrow of this world is upon her power. Thinking sadness, crying, moodiness, quietness, sad feelings. Hey. Oh, Nala smiling. It is not like that. Do you know anybody like that? Raise your hand if you know not you, but you know somebody. The rest of you don't know anybody like that. You you know somebody like that. You know somebody you don't know anybody like that. OK, You know someone like that. You know somebody like that. You know somebody like that, You don't know anybody. I want to see those who don't know anybody like that. I want to see those who don't know anybody like that laugh. You know somebody like that. Who do you know like that? Yourself? Is he yourself? You know somebody like that? But I don't want to say his name. She's the one sitting by you who knows somebody like that here. You don't know anybody like that. Good. It's not good to know that people. Yeah. If sadness comes to your house, somebody dies, you can have sorrow that will kill you. Yeah. Never recover from it, especially death of a close person. Yeah. And then moodiness. Yeah. That is why, you know when sometimes somebody's wife dies, the person is going to marry again. People insult the person and say your wife just died. Couldn't you show respect for your wife by waiting for five years before you even think about something like that? Yeah, your wife just died. Couldn't you show some respect just now, within six months you have started looking at somebody. Usually such men are criticized when they when they marry again. Usually they are the ones who recover from this sorrow was a good man. He's pray for any good man whose wife dies because he's genuinely affected mentally by the death of his wife. Then there are two things that are the highest stress for a human being on earth 1 is the death of a spouse. It's supposed to be the highest stress in the world that you can experience the death of your spouse or a divorce. Second is divorce because divorce is like, the person is dead, but he's still alive. And it's it's insulting. You don't understand what I'm saying. So there are, like, very high stresses that a person can go through. Yeah. Are you with me? Yeah. Pray for somebody whose spouse he's dead. He's very that person. When the person rather marries, the person tries to separate from the sorrow of the world, which is trying to kill him. Yeah, like, you see, demonize, demonize people who start to speak, they'll start to show who do not show respect, who do not show respect, Huh. Look at him. He was even glad when his wife died. We know. We know that. As for a man, there is a beast. A man is an animal within six months old. You say it, infanti. How would you say it infanti? As for a man there, Benghazi, I have to say. What? Benghazi the man. That's it. It is what? I've heard it before. How's the man there? Who? Yeah. Tikko. How do they say it in Nigeria? How's the man there? How do they say it? Bishop, please, I don't know, I'm not fluent in my language IBO. OB. How do they say it in Nigeria? What did she say, Dorothy? How do you say? No, we are from the same place. I'm able to as in that this man is. It's like something like that man is bad or something like that. Man is bad. We thank you we thank you for what you say about us. Thank you sorrow of this world. So I'm I'm giving you an alert. Don't let sadness don't don't allow a person to be in your in your environment and superimpose depression on every quarter of your existence. That's why you must be in a relationship for some time because owner less smiley in the church virtually. It's a depressive character. Moodiness is what, when you experience your sorrows of this life, rise up again, rise up on the sorrow of this world worketh death. You just die from it. You die from it. Oh, As for good men, they have suffered from the sins of bad men. They are insulted with the insults of bad men and unbelievable men. And they are persecuted with the persecutions of unbelievable men and their and the laws apply to wicked men, apply to them. Yeah. Hannah, is it true? Yeah. So these are the versions you got these versions. Wow. Will you remember all these things? Are you sure you will remember? Will you remember these times, huh? All the things that we are sharing with you. Are you sure? When the day comes when sorrow is descending on you like that, will you remember that this thing kills, Huh?

Yeah. Will you remember the seven girls? Will you remember the testimony, the times at the camp that we have spoken about all these things? Remember because you need it as the years go by.

I would have seen this one. If I've waited 2 years, I would have met this other one. Remember, it's important for Christians to remember when God is giving you a good message and a good time. Will you remember the different versions? There is, you know, a method of everything. There is a worldly method of everything. OK, welcome before lunch.
