14. How To Develop Your Faith For Ministry

Welcome to track #14 of tasters or partakers Amen. How many want to develop your faith for ministry to work for God? Amen. Romans 12/3 says God has dealt to every man and measure our faith. So God has given everybody some amount of faith to work for God. There's always some little amount of faith to work for God. Did you get it OK? Amen. Now you cannot know everything about faith because faith is also something mysterious. It's a spiritual thing. So even though we've taught, we sometimes teach about faith. They may think when I do this, I have to. When I do this, I don't have faith. When I do this, this, and that, it's like everything you know, but you don't know everything. It's a mystery. First Timothy chapter 3, verse 9 says holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. Amen. Faith is a mysterious thing, Amen. It's not something we can just explain, but there are ways by which faith comes. Amen. So now seven types of faith that you can have for ministry. Amen #1 little faith for ministry, small one. How many realize that your faith was not much for the ministry Faith will obey God. But is it getting bigger? Matthew 14, verse 31 all thou of little faith, wherefore it's down, down South through You have little faith, and then there's great faith. I have not found so great faith. No, not in Israel. Matthew 85, Amen. So you can have little faith. You don't have much faith for me. Now you can have little faith for a car and you have great faith for a car, isn't it? You can have little faith for a house, but you can have great faith for a house. You said you were giving me a chair right here. Glow what I. Got wow. Oh, I'm blessed all right. Glow what I got. Give it to me. I'll sit behind. Oh, Charlie. Well, I'm blessed. OK, Now you see, I have more. I have faith for ministry. Now, you see, you can have faith for a car, faith for a house, faith for a job. But you can have great faith or little faith. Now what what happens is that faith is an energy, is a kind of power that is directed towards something or for something. Now, traditionally faith is used to get money, houses, cars. That's why people who have faith, people are usually rich because they believe the prosperity aspects of the gospel, which are all true anyway. There's nothing wrong with that. It's true. You get it now. I believe, Amen in the work of the Lord. I believe in doing the work of the Lord. My faith is not directly for things. My faith is directly for the work, but it leads to the things that I don't believe for, you understand? So in the end, it has the same effect as those who are believing for money. I don't know if you are getting what I'm trying to say because OK, Bible says why do you believe for You know what you shall eat, what you shall drink, what you shall wear, O ye of little faith. That's little faith. Then he said, but you for such things to the Gentiles seek, but you seek first the Kingdom of heaven and his writers and all these things that the Gentiles are struggling over will be added to you. So for me, instead of operating believing God for many houses, cars is actually called, not that I'm saying it's called little faith. You can put it up on screen, Matthew 6, those of you who have the screen, you can put it up there from about 20-6. You see that it's actually called by the Bible little faith. So I have, I'm trying to operate at a higher level of faith, Amen. Where I am getting has it come there? Have you seen the little faith? What does he say? Oh yeah, a little faith. OK, yes, that even Solomon, why take you thought? Can you add 1 cubit to his stature? Why do you take thought for Raymond? Is he like, what even are you thinking? And not even to have faith, Why are you thinking of what to wear? Do you see, and of the field, how they grow, how they toil, working jobs? Even Solomon in all this way was not a veil like that, you see? So God can clothe you so much and not much more. God can clothe you, O ye of little faith. The people with little faith are the people who are thinking of clothes. Clothes. What to wear, where you will stay, How you do that? Little faith. Yeah, but we think that's big faith. Little faith is the one for money. Clothes. I'll do this. I'll do the. I'll have a car. That's little faith. Behold the fouls of earth. They sow not neither do they reap at the top. Now gather into bounds yet to heavenly Father feed it. I know my brother than they. Which of you take it? Thought can add 1 cubit to his stature. And why take it thought? Why? Why take it thought? Why take it thought for raiment clothes? Consider the lilies of the field. They they not grow, they toil, they do not toil, they don't spin, but I say to you, even Solomon, they don't have as much as they're the richest man in the world. He don't have as much as what God provides for them. In other words, God is saying that God on his own provides more than even he private for Solomon, the richest man, somebody wrote, the richest man there was written in a book. Wherefore if God so clothed the grass of the field, which today is at a smaller cast, shall he not close you, O ye of little faith. So the so-called the so-called faith movement has majored on actually an area. You see, faith is a kind of power. You see, one time I was playing golf and I realized that my golf was not working. So I decided to deploy all powers. I prayed about it and then I also used faith through confessions. I started to speak over it. I gave myself a name, a golfing name. I said that my name is this. Then I gave my name and I started to speak words over my life. When I play, I say I declare I am this, I can do this. I have it, I am able this, this that. Gradually I use all my powers that are available to me to help me because I was I was suffering. So I'm playing with Bishop, Eddie Bishop. They are very proud. Confess here. I'm following these guys. Hey, every day that I'm supposed to be resting by this more than torture, I have to use all powers available at my disposal. Do you get it? Yeah. So it's a power that we use. But what would you use it to get? Let's say Iran. They are making nuclear weapons for what would they use it to make electricity. Like American electricity, or they use it to ban Israel or blow up England or bombs and put nuclear weapons in Europe. What would they use The money, the power for? So faith. You can use it for seeking God and his righteousness. If you are successful with that, you can expect other things to be added on without. It's sort of like it goes with it, like, you know, many hotels when you check in, breakfast goes with it. You don't have to buy. So all you need to do is to check in, you get breakfast. One day. I was staying somewhere many years ago and I was looking for accommodation. You know, I was in England and I needed to stay, so I went to so many different places. You can stay here, you can stay. But one day I found a place that was going to give accommodation with breakfast. It was not a hotel, but it was a place that when you stay there, there is breakfast. And a friend of mine advised me to me, look, when you stay here you will never be hungry because in the morning you can eat for the whole day. Yeah. And he was explaining that you see the accommodation, this one comes with it. It's like free. So I decided I took his advice and I moved to stay there. Hey, thank God for that breakfast. Shayababos, kayaba, toast, baked beans, sausages, eggs, as much as you can eat. What can you eat? Eat it. I was there early morning satisfy myself for the day, but I didn't have any money. Hey, so you see you need to you need to choose the one that is bringing those things as extra. You see, you don't have to go. You are buying that 1-2 separate. You know, you go for this thing which brings these things as extras. So you see, go for the ministry, go for God, God and his righteousness. Those things are coming to act as extras. OK, have this car, have this house, have this money, it's coming with it. That's that's how come somebody like me are not poor. So I pre sacrifice this God provides. He said I can't even use it. That's why I said that if you if through the grace of God, I need any milkshake, I believe how many will buy me milkshake. Just you see, now I have so many milkshakes, if I'm only to say it, I will get a milkshake this evening. And if I'm to say that I need a hamburger, how many will buy me a hamburger? So I have so many hamburgers. But you see, I've been there. Well, I couldn't get a hamburger. Oh, yeah, I've been in there. You may think it's automatic. Yes. I once had a friend who was working at McDonald's and he told me, he told me if you come I will give you 1. I said. I said, oh, you come time. I was a student. So I remember in London he gave me the map. You see me on the tube here, here, here, here, here. Change the tube trade underground moving because of the hamburger. So when I, when I stand, and I'm telling you that today if I say I need a handbag, I can learn. You see Big Mac this, triple this beggar this. They will be there plenty. But there was a time I will go under the train with the map to my friends MacDonald where he went. Then I will stand there and he will be in there. He will be serving people. Then he will signal me. That he will put it on that thing that I can, I pick it. And I think so. As for me, I appreciate all these things. So you may not know, you may not know, but me, I've been in there. I've been there where I didn't have food to eat. I've been there when I was hung. If you ever want to be broke, come to Ghana quickly. Never be broke in this Europe or America. So me, I'm I'm moving into faith. I'm using great faith. I work for God. I'll go to where there's no money. I'll go and have a crusade and spend all my money. I need faith. I'll spend all the money, thousands of dollars, finish it just into air. And then I believe that it was applied. So you too, you must, you must, you must have faith. Better, stronger, greater faith. All your all your beliefs, all I I thank you all for that. Please not change my my Hyundai. I believe God that my Hyundai is changing to a Toyota. I believe the power of God has transformed from a Hyundai to Toyota and Jesus I receive. Wow, what are what are you doing? Your faith is smooth. Somebody bought a Mercedes-Benz for me and he told me the prime 100 and some almost 200,000. So he was bringing the car. Then he showed me, he showed me that this is the car. He showed me one, not the one, but the one. They have bought that for me. When I say hey, I cannot this car, I want to say, I beg you, please don't bring this car. I don't like it. I don't want you to be offended in the church. I don't like. So they took it back. Yeah, it's nothing. What? What are you saying your faith is for small, small things. More things. Grow up, my friend. So you are going to stay in America because of car? The next one is weak faith for ministry. I'm talking about how weak for ministry and Babel says and be not weak in faith. And then the 4th type of faith in ministry is strong faith for ministry. So we have little faith, great faith, weak faith, strong faith in ministry, and the best type is exceedingly growing faith for the ministry. How many of your faith is now exceedingly growing for the work of the Lord? Isn't it? You're having faith in the work of the Lord? Yeah. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren as it is meet because we know that your faith groweth exceedingly. Second Thessalonians, chapter one, verse 3. Amen. The next one type of faith is increasing faith and Bible says, and the apostle said unto the Lord, increase our faith. Hey, may your faith increase for the things of the Lord from today in the name of Jesus. Then the next type of faith, all these are types of faith that people have when they are trying to work for God is full of faith, full of faith and Bible says and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith. May you be full of faith from today. Some of you are full of news, full of sports, full of gossip, full of so maybe I did full of love, but what you need to do well is faith. I see you being full of faith. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost. First in all these chapter one verse 5 faith and feigned. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of the pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith and fame. Amen. Faith or genuine faith? Genuine faith. I see your faith being genuine first time with the chapter one verse #5 then the next type of faith is unwavering faith in the ministry. Wow. How many are going to have faith that doesn't change? Faith that doesn't change. Amen. Don't waver. So if you make up your mind when they come to that campus, oh Lord, I'm going to work for after that camp after some few days after that comes. Oh Lord, I think I was a bit emotional, you know, Lord, I think I was a bit emotional. You know, that's what Bishop, when he preaches, you know, it has that effect that, you know, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, mercy. But you must begin to develop unwavering faith. So what I decided, I have decided what I'm doing, I'm doing. It's not today or tomorrow, I'm changing this, tomorrow I'm changing that. I'm deciding this. I have unwavering faith for the work of God. I'm going to do it. I'm going. When you get there, things are not easy, things are not good, but your faith is unwavering. If you don't have unwavering faith, please do not go as a missionary. But as soon as the first hardship comes, you are going to strike out. Hey, you are. You are wavering. Please don't go to the mission field when you get the mosquito bites you. You say I'm dying. I'm dying from mosquito bites, malaria. I went to Tanzania. I've never seen a country with more mosquitoes. It's full of Muslims and mosquitoes. Macklin, is it not true? What did you see there? 121 dozen here, Muslims, mosquitoes, M and MSM and Ms. that are there are not this M&M that you are selling here. These Muslims and mosquitoes. Oh, man, it's hot. It's hot. Oh, there's no money. Oh, I don't have cornflakes, so I need my I need my fresh milk. You need what fresh milk We got our cows are like goats. We don't produce, don't produce milk. You need your orange juice? You need your hamburgers. How many hamburgers? We have kebab with pepper. We don't have no hamburgers. There's nothing there coming with this, your wavering kind of faith. But I stay in America because you go to Walmarts. There's no Walmarts. Somebody came from South Africa and I saw a selling shop we had. We have a South African shop. You know the person saw the shop in in South Africa and then when the person came to Ghana, the person went to that shop and said this shop is the low cost shop in South Africa. How come is the main place in Ghana? It's like the upper class. Sure you are in West Africa. You are joking. You are in West Africa. If you have wavering faith, don't come, don't come. Don't come with wavering faith. And as you tell me, if I've been out there this way, I would have been ending this by now. The math you'd have been and stay in America and, and all that you would have been ending. Stay here and end it so that when we come, you are able to give good offerings and help the work of God. Stay here. You cannot bring wavering faith. We shall pray for you. What shall we pray for you? May you find what you are looking for. There are a lot of there's a lot of dust. We have a lot. We have a lot in Ghana. We we have dust. Most of the roads are not that. I will just come with Delta. When you are coming to Ghana and when you come, make sure you sit by the window. And when you look look out of the window, you see red sun throughout the pie. Small. The whole country is a big village. There's no water in our crowd. Those of you who want to drink water, we have water water tanks. There are lizards and toads and all in the water. Dissolve all of them. Yeah. Have you ever been inside the water tank to see the inside? Most of them, they have covers which do not stay on the on it canvas. Yeah, Poly tank and inside things inside the water lizard that fell inside that couldn't come out when they were swimming, they couldn't come out. I am saying those of you with wavering faith do not come. There are more things to make your faith waiver more than ever. Joking. So you are coming to ministry, wavering faith. We don't use wavering faith for ministry. Strong faith, weak faith is used for cars, houses, those things. Weak faith, little faith, wavering faith. You stay in America, stay in England, stay strong faith. You can come Caribbean, you can go Africa, here, this India, whatever. Strong faith, unwavering by your faith is wavering. Don't move, it will be a disaster. Your wife who insult you every day is a foolish man, a certain American. He said he went as a missionary to Ghana to a certain village called Big Black. He went to a village called Big Black near Ho Hoi in the Water Region. He said he had been married for two weeks and he went there with his wife. He said yeah, he said, he said we are talking about witchcraft. He said what I saw there and I think he was describing an idol that was peaking. It was peaking. He said what I saw. He said my wife almost died 2 weeks. I carried my wife like this into the hospital. It was at a phinic called bleep blah. You are coming there with little faith or weak faith or wavering faith. You are what joking. You don't come there with weak faith. I thought that I speaking you have to stay here and use your faith to get we will pray for you that what may you find what you are looking for you're. Coming to be. Black. With waving faith. Talking idols and other entankments, your wife is about to die. Be black. The next one. Rich faith. Have God not. Chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith. The next one. Mature faith? Yeah. Need experience? That's why you must start churches here and do the work here so that we see how it says see us down, how faith has brought with works and by works faith was made perfect. James 222. Faith was made perfect or mature by works is the works you do that will improve your faith when you start a church and it's worked before you start having more faith that you can have a church. I said you are just here. I said I'm going on the mission field. You're going to be black, be black. You're joking. We've all started a check before. We have not cast out any devils before. We are going to be black. Where I just talk. Spiritual policeman. A spiritual policeman is standing in front of the house. You are not afraid with little faith. Joking. But there's a. World overcoming faith. There's a victory that. Overcomes the world, even our faith. When you don't have overcoming world faith, you cannot be going into the world. You must stay in your country. Don't move, don't buy any tickets, go to school, settle down, get a mortgage. Yes. And get a stable. Job that will not be affected by Credit crunch, Credit Crunch 2, Credit crunch two, credit Crunch 2, or credit crunch 2. Yeah, and that's one failing. Faith. Luke 22. 32 Say I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. I saw a. Certain brother who sent him as a missionary. Luke 22. 30 After some time realized that his faith was failing. I I withdrew. Him from the mission field quickly, but by the time he came, his faith had failed completely. He had no more faithful, he said I cannot go again. I cannot be a missionary again. And he backed. Out of the ministry, he said. I'll be a lay pastor. Out of all the missionaries, the only one I've ever seen doing that. But it happens because our faith. Is feelings like faithful? The thing is going down. It's going down. It's going down, it's going down. But it happens, and there's one. Dead faith. Faith if it. Hath not works is dead. As you can see, there are so many types of faiths. Like human beings, so many types. No one is the same. And the last one. Shipwrecked faith. Amen. Are you? There you've gone.
