15. Cont. On Learn How To Pray And Do The Work Of An Evangel, Make Full Proof Of Your Ministry

Welcome to track #15 of the beautiful job. Learn how to pray in the night. Second Timothy 4-5 But watch thou in all things endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, and make foolproof of that ministry. So watch thou in all things. Now throughout the Bible you notice the word watch and you actually hear the instruction watch and pray. Now as against where we would have expected to hear the instruction fast and pray. OK, now it is more important to learn how to watch and pray than to fast and pray. Why? Because you don't have in the Bible the Bible giving you the instruction fast and pray. Now you have the Bible telling us watch and pray. Could you not watch with me one hour now? Why? Because watching and praying is more possible than fasting and praying. And it's more possible to sustain watching and praying than to sustain fasting and praying. So people fast and pray and then after the fast, it's like because the fast is not sustainable. And when we come to the principles of war, you will see one of them is sustainability of the mission. Whatever mission you embark on, you must be able to sustain that mission. And when you embark on fasting, it's unsustainable beyond a certain point. True or not true, Michael, true or not true, it's change. So all Christians must learn. Now there are three kinds of watching early. Watching, that is in the evening #2 in the morning and #3 all night. OK, now the pastors of the largest churches and those who have been most consistently able to pray for a long time, for years, are those who have learned how to watch and pray with the early morning one, that's in the night. The third one, the first one is early, early watching, late watching, then all night watching. So you will see that pastors of a certain calibre who have learned how to watch in the night, sleep at different times from ordinary young people. Ordinary young people sleep late. How many sleep mostly after midnight. Raise your right hand. You are likely not to be able to pray much with that lifestyle. Yeah. True or not true. So somebody like Yongicho, around 8:00, he's sleeping. And I noticed myself when I started to pray in a certain way that I noticed that by a certain point early in the evening I went to sleep. Once I sleep, I wake up 3:00 AM two AMI can pray till the morning. So Yong Chicho said for so many years, 25, so many years of his time, he has slept around 8:00. By 8:00 I've been for dinner with him where around 8 of dinner he's going. It's OK, he can't stay again. Yeah, it's bedtime. You will think that they are old people, but the old people, you know that they listen to the radio and in the morning, have you noticed that old people listen because of when they sleep. That's why you don't listen to the radio early in the morning because of when you sleep. So when we talk about sustainable prayers, you are talking about prayers that can be sustained through watching, praying in the night. So it says watch thou in all things. So all the time Christians have to fight to pray, you understand, and to be elect in the Spirit, because you may be able to pray in the night and prevent yourself from dying the next day because you prayed in the night, your prayers may abort your death or somebody S death the next day. Amen. Are you listening to me? Hallelujah. So tell somebody I'm going to watch in all things wow, is it amazing, is it fantastic #42 do the work of an evangelist, do the work of an evangelist. Now this means evangelise. You see, when you become a pastor, you often think that evangelism is not the will of God for a pastor or it's not your field. But a good pastor and a good elder is evangelistic and is conducting carnivals, crusades and programmes, breakfast meetings, door to door, person to person, soul to soul, heart to heart evangelism. That is the work of a pastor. Why? Because Jesus said the Good Shepherd leaves the 99 sheep and looks for the lost sheep. A lost sheep is a lost soul, a lost coin, Hallelujah, something that is lost. In that passage, Jesus spoke about three things that were lost, the lost coin, the lost sheep, and the lost son, the prodigal son who was lost. He said this, My son was lost and is found coming back home, and that is the heart of the father. It will never change, no matter how many prosperity cathedrals we built and no matter how many times we preach about whatever that we want to preach about. The main aim of Christianity will always be that God so loved the world that he gave his only Son to come to this world and die on the cross, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So no matter what, whatever ministry you have, evangelism, he said do the work of an evangelist. And so pastors today must know, and elders must know how to do the work of an evangelist. You see, when I became the pastor of the first lab, I've taken you for carnival after carnival after carnival to crusade, etcetera. Why I'm doing the work of an evangelist even though I'm a pastor and I'm doing that work of an evangelist as the pastor of the First Love Church. The pastor of the First Love Church is doing evangelism. Because I'm doing the work of an evangelist doesn't mean I'm an evangelist, but I'm doing that work. Every minister should do the work of an evangelist. Kenneth Hagin, even though he was a prophet on the first day of his winter Bible seminar, always spoke about hell. Yeah, he always spoke about hell and something evangelist. So if you ever listen to his Winter Bible seminar, you can listen on the first day and you will notice him preaching on the first night when he says people have not come. Then he speaks about hell and he starts to talk about all those things. He has a lot of scriptures and so many things about hell. Are you listening to me? Amen. So you need to do the work of an evangelist. Can you evangelise? Can you win souls? How many can preach in such a way that Christians? How many have been at a carnival or crusader preaching and although you were saved, you wanted to give your life to Christ. Raise your hand. That means you are doing a strong evangelism. Yeah, when first when I went to action, Archbishop used to preach and one day I went with some people and they gave their life to Christ. Although they were Christians, when he preached, they gave their life to Christ again. So after I went to see him and I said, Sir, some people have given their life to Christ again. Why is it, is it really salvation? I asked him, is it really salvation? I remember asking him, he was just a young pastor from Nigeria. He had come, Is it salvation? And he said something, you know, I think when the anointing is strong, they are, they are forced to come. Yeah. And I noticed later on in life that I've noticed that people want to give their life to Christ. Sometimes they didn't give their life to Christ. And every pastor, you must be strong when you start to speak about. No, nothing should. Nothing should be able to stand before you. Yeah, you can. You should speak in a way the people will be afraid. Yeah. Whichever stories you have. And Scriptures, wow, can you do it. And you must do it from your heart. You must. You must believe in hell. Every person must believe in hell. You must believe that hell is real. Always think about hell. Heaven and hell is real death. You must think more about death than life. You must plan for death more than you plan for life. Yeah, plan for death more than life. And think about hell and heaven, but more about hell so that you can avoid it. What do you think? Is it amazing? Can you do that? Shall I invite a couple of people to give us a message of salvation? I should just choose any of two of you elders, isn't it to come and preach to us on salvation? Who shall I choose? Which school shall I choose from? Lagon Tech. Hallelujah. So the work of an evangelist is the work of the pastor. Amen. Industrialisation is intentionally creating things that you need. Do you understand that industrialisation is different from farming? Amen. So everybody needs to intentionally win souls. You see, as we are standing here, Germany is making cars today. They've made several cars and Ghana has made no car. We have made no wheelbarrow, no matches, nothing. We have imported some from them today. We will import more tomorrow and they are getting richer. So I will not wait for somebody to send me a soul as a pastor. I'm going to go out and evangelise. Amen. And intentionally, intentionally speak to people about God. I will not leave them to come to church by osmosis. I'm going to evangelise and I'm going to go with good news and I'm going to persist with the good news. Are you listening to me? Yeah. How many would agree that many pastors are not evangelistic anymore? What are what are we saying? What are we doing now, Abigail? What are we doing? A. Lot of pastors are preaching. Look, you see how she has boy cannot be heard. A lot of pastors are preaching about prosperity. That's what I've seen. Where did you see it? Are you not in Lighthouse? How do you see such things? That's what I've heard, sorry. Who told you that? Like I'm I, I heard it on radio and I've watched it on television. You watched pastor's preaching on radio and television, not. Really. But sometimes if I'm watching TV or I'm changing a channel. You see other What do they preach about? Another page actually I watch. Like those kind of things. Allow her to share what she's sharing with us. Have you finished ministering? What else do you hear? What else do you see? Sometimes to they will give their telephone numbers out like they will give it out they will mention it on. Are you the one Speaking of what's going on? Sometimes they will be. Giving their telephone numbers out like. Zello 2. Zello, Zello. 88770 from Sisi oh from Sisi like Otabe Kameh from Sisi and I'm in Montana with Juma na Misha with Juma. So those kind of things, wow, Obama or Kaneshi udu Kaneshi, this kind of. Hannah Camp. Yes, give her the microphone. Bishop when I first joined writer, I wasn't really I wasn't really committed. I was invited to a church when I entered and tell that I've entered a church auditorium, even the banner the written the name of the church and then raising champions and then going, I can't really remember. But after the preaching, there was no Uttar call. There was no Uttar call. Nobody went forward to give his or her life to Christ at all. And I hear that most churches in Aqua do not do Uttar calls. Is it true? Somebody who knows should tell us. Yes, he knows. You press. Yeah. The day the pastor even preaches about hell, he doesn't do utter cause. The day he speaks about heaven and hell, you can see that the people in the church, a lot of them. Don't know where they are going but. You don't do utter call close. All right. Anna Nakoja. OK, Hannah. Thank you, Hannah. Hallelujah. Thank you. Yeah, Bishop. Even on campus, all the churches, their programs they organize use their microphone. Come on even on campus, the program the churches organize are not yet to so many. How much? So we did the OK when we're doing the carnival with Ligon Hall and my chief was telling me that the Ligon. Hall. President was telling her that we should invite big, big people to become a minister, but they don't understand our emphasis. Our emphasis is on souls, but they are organized programs for praises, programs for worship, programs for leadership, program for success, for so many other things apart from SO, yeah. Yeah. Even on campus when they when they come for dawn broadcast, they just preach. They don't, they don't a lot of the people are here. They don't do altar course. And recently a friend, like I was, I was asking a friend why they don't do altar course and he said that he told me that, oh, like, because for us, it's because our Father is an evangelist. That's why we become evangelistic. Like it's not like, like it's not like it's supposed to be the main emphasis in the Bible. But when they preach, when they preach, they don't do altar course. They just preach and then they leave. The back there lift in your hand. What was your name again? Come. What is his name? Kufu. I've not seen a Peck. I let Kufu like this before. Yeah. Thank you pastor. Pastor please. I entered into a church and Bishop, they told me that I need to receive the Holy Spirit. So the pastor will come around. You'll call a lot of the church members. They will come you stand there and say say Jesus Jesus, Jesus. Can I say let's say it first twice. So as you are saying you see your like you, you'll be skipping some of the the the way to pronounce this ABBA ABBA Patanasi. So the question that has come so like very rich on me. I was taking this to Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. You told the church members I'm not ready to take the olive to go and sit down and and you go to other churches. I think they are in for new professors. You just look through your judgment message and say like they are not in for the salvation of the of the states over there. So I think it's powerful to be in this state. I'm actually a deeper life member, but when I came to campus, I really, you know, change to be a Lighthouse member because Chief, the Chief Order and other people are just, you know, always pampering me and calling me like it's powerful. It's powerful. Are you talking about the same thing? Yeah. What are you saying? I mean, when, whenever I talk to my Christian friends in other churches, I mean, like you tell them that, oh, there's the need to preach about salvation, preaching for souls and other things. You realize that they, they think that a lot of people are saved. A lot of people are saved there. There are no, the, the gospel have gone to everywhere. I mean, I was telling someone that. I mean, I think that God is giving us more grace for more souls to be worn. And then she was telling that, oh, she thinks that the word of God have reached so many places that she thinks that the word of the word can come to an end any time from now because the word of God have reached everywhere. Wow. Yeah. OK. Is it fantastic. All right, So do the work of an evangelist. This is a private instruction that I'm giving you and you can see why because after some time before, if you don't take care, you will not do the work on of an evangelist again. OK, Don't forget one day some of you may be pastors of big churches. Don't forget to do the work of an evangelist. You have to remember, doing the work of an evangelist is not something that will sound strange to you today because you are in a big church that is working and it's having evangelistic work going on. So it looks normal, but there's a time that it won't look normal. Amen. Geos. You were telling me something. Yeah. Come and share that. It's not working. How do you do you? There was someone in church, in Kumas, in the tech church, and he said he was going to join a different church. And then I told him not to go and he said he really wanted to go to the church. And a lot of people were joining that. And a lot of people, it's one of the churches that a lot of people are flooding in, in Kumarsan now because of their doctrine that they're preaching is quite new. The pastor even once said that he thinks he's the best. He said the day he finds a pastor that preaches better than him, he closed down his church. That's what he So it's the day that he finds a pastor that preaches better than him, he closed. He's not even 30 yet and he made that statement. So people, a lot of people are flooding into his church because they want to be scratched. In the past, he's talking. So this church member of mine decided to go and I, after a lot of talking, I just said he could go. And then this semester, we're at the prayer meeting one day. And then he came to me at the prayer meeting and he said he wanted to talk to me. After the prayer meeting, I spoke to him. He had left for some time. He had left the whole that was the whole of last semester. He left and came back this semester. He's back in church. And then he said that he wants to come back to Lighthouse and become a shepherd. And I said it's powerful. And I asked him why. And he said that one day he was in the service of that church, the church that everything happens and that church is a free church. I mean, they believe in the move of the Spirit. They said God can use anybody. So a church member can just stand up and start prophesying and whilst the pastor is preaching and then they all stop and listen to the church member. So he said one of the days like I do in that service, and then a church member just got up and started professor, and the prophecy was this, that God is about to judge all the churches in Ghana, but there's only one church that is going to pass the judgment. That's Lighthouse Chapel International. Because we've not forgotten the foundations and we've not forgotten about evangelism and we've not forgotten about preaching the gospel. So the church member just said that then why am I in a church where it's not even going to pass the exam? And then he came back to join us. He wants to be a shepherd. Now he wants to be a shepherd. He's a shepherd. Actually, you know, wow, that's a scary prophecy. Wow. So this private instruction given by Paul to his son that just do the work of an evangelist always as if you are an evangelist, every person should be as though you are an evangelist. Because maybe I'm not even an evangelist. Yeah, maybe I'm not an evangelist, but I'm just doing the work of an evangelist. It's also possible that I'm not an evangelist, and maybe I'm a pastor or an apostle or something, but like I'm doing the work of an because as I'm doing the work of an evangelist, it could be either that I am an evangelist or I'm doing the work of an evangelist because it is very wise for a minister to do the work of an evangelist. It could be any of these. Any of these would make me do crusades like I'm doing or carnivals, Any of these two either being an evangelist or doing the work of an evangelist. Yeah, it's amazing. Are you understanding me? Are you listening to me? Amen. Very dangerous. Very, very dangerous. But you see now it sounds good. Money, your life, your pocket money, your. This doesn't depend on the church. When you do, you may now excuse me, be under pressure. And you realise that you are thinking of setting trends. That's why it's good to start in the ministry, not as a full time person, but to start as a layperson like you are doing as a student and grow to the point where you don't do ministry because of money. Yeah, I never knew how to get money from the ministry. I didn't even take offerings. We used to have services without offerings. Well, the main thing is to do the main thing. We are not here for money. I would say, doctor, what do I need? I don't need any offering. It was when we now needed a church building. Then I saw that we had no money and we needed to take offerings and we needed to take tithes. We didn't have any money. But I grew up, so that's why I can't stand instrumentally. Screenplay for money, singing for money being given transport to go to church, transport to go on visitation, money for to join the party, money to come and say please don't come, don't come, not here. Go to another place where they pay. Amen. Do the work of an evangelist, maintain it. People must look at you and say, are you an evangelist or a person? Well, me, I'm a pastor, but I do the work of an evangelist. I was advised by my father to do the work of an evangelist. Always. Amen. Stand to your feet, everybody for a moment. Evangelist. Amen. Just to do the work of an evangelist elder. I'm a pastor, but we need to have that heart also that makes us behave as though we were evangelists. That the the the mainstay of your ministry will be evangelism, even though you are not an evangelist. That is what we are praying about, that the Lord will direct our hearts towards evangelism, that it will not be something that we will do on weekends. Do you see or as a programme? It's our church program we are doing. We have gone out, but it will be the heartbeat of your ministry, the heartbeat of your life. As a pastor, as an elder, you naturally tend towards evangelism. Your default setting is evangelism. That is what I want us to pray about. If that doesn't happen, you will not go far in the ministry. You will not please God, and God will not give you his attention. Let's pray. No, you can sit down. You can sit and pray. Yes, pray. Turn off. Turn off the lights. Turn off these lights when Bishop comes. Yeah, just pray. It's like air ma calaba sinde lebe ramama keberi mamo yande ma yande reima kaba Yana lama Kama yama yama nimo kebori yande. Just say to the Lord, Lord, use me as an evangelist. Touch my heart to be an evangelist. Let evangelism be my work. Give me an appetite, a desire. I want to do the work. Makande livosa mayande Mike le Baba Sande mahran de cabos debris mande le ma mayande. Makala masamayante kabayan de le be do sun de le be re makala Baba. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Father, thanks for hearing our prayer in Jesus name, Amen. Are you feeling sleepy? Are you sure? Some look tired. OK, we may end soon. Second Timothy 4-5 the next one make fully. How do I say make full proof of your ministry? Make full proof of your ministry, which means fully perform all the aspects of your ministry. Make full proof, do it fully. Amen. What do you think? So when we are doing, in other words, take it to a logical conclusion, what is the conclusion of what you have to do for the Lord? Amen. That's why I came into full time ministry. This best actually means going to full time ministry. You see, what he was telling him is that do it fully. Go to the fullest extent that you can. Foolproof test it to the end. Fully, fully, fully finish everything that you have to do. Did you get it? Yeah, That's that's and and you think about it. Something that you do only on Sundays can you do it as well as something that you do from Monday to Friday. Mary. Isn't that your name? Mary, What do you think? Something that you do Tuesday evenings and Sunday afternoons, can it be done? Well, foolproof of what a pasta is, take it to the extreme, take it to the fullest conclusion. You say you are a singer. Take it to the extent that means make recordings. Yeah, that means make record. That means do the thing to an international level. So if Aida doesn't come up with recording, she's not making foolproof of her ministry. True or not true because you've not taken it fully to the extent that it can be taken, what? What are the other areas that something like that can be taken to? Think about it. That's why I'm trying hard to send somebody to all the countries in Africa, Chad, Equatorial Guinea. We haven't gone Niger anywhere. There is no place too far or too dry. Every single country. And then more people. Some of the places we have already sent people. We want to send more people to the same place. Like, for instance, if we have sent somebody to 1 country, we can send another team to the same country, to the same city. Yeah, if you take Winners Chapel, they don't only have one church in Accra or in Accra Tema, they have more and redeemed church, they have church vision is 1A church at every light pole. That is their vision in Africa. Church at every light pole. What a vision. And they have another vision for developed countries every 5 kilometers where you can drive every 5 kilometers there should be a check. Yeah. So we we have we are we are we are sending. So what is that? I'm sending Michelle to do it fully not up to a point. And leap sum when I go to heaven to ask So what about this country? Why would you not? Why you not concentrating? What were you thinking about? You didn't send somebody here, here or you don't know. Did you do geographies? I did geographies. What is an island? An island is a place that is separated. So you didn't send anybody to any island? Well, I think island I didn't know, rather an island that is isolated. So what about those people there? If somebody has considered you to be an island, didn't come there, How you feel about it? You know how many people I have because you didn't go there? Do you know how many I have? If you had sent only one person there, this would have changed the course of that that nation. Why I I gave you an evangelistic ministry or you thought you are just a local evangelist. Why didn't you do it? Fully, fully make full proof. If God has called you fully conclude the whole thing to its fullest extent that it can possibly be done. That's what it means to make full proof of your ministry. Fully prove it. Prove that you are called fully. One person used that phrase. Logical conclusion. I always remember that when you take it to its logical conclusion. I mean, if I'm taking my ministry further now I do my ministry only on Thursdays and Sundays in the evenings, and I'm taking it further. I can add Wednesday evenings, then I can add Tuesday evenings and I can have Monday evenings. Then I can say, look, I need a daytime also. And then gradually, before I realise you are taking it further. That's why I started to write books. Are you not glad that I wrote a book? Supposing I had written books? I say, oh, what is book writing to some people? Americans have written books. Which American book do you have to read? You may never know the effect of your not doing your part. John was the youngest. You know, young people are. You are more lovable as you get older, you are less lovable. But when you are young and little, everybody wants to cuddle. You call you nearer when you get older and you become you have certain wickedness inside you. People don't. They don't mean they don't easily enjoy bringing you because they are bringing something bad. Are you with me? So John was the youngest by the time he came on the scene to start writing. Matthew has written, Mark has copied it. I don't know if it's true. You know, Mark only has 16 chapters and Mark you have 28 chapters. So even it was abbreviated. Summarise Lucas also rated. Now here comes John, and an evil spirit would tell him, what again are you going to write? What again are you going to write? But then the Holy Spirit told John, make full proof of your ministry as an apostle. Who was there? What do you also remember? Write it, please. So he took his pen and started to write his own version of the things that he saw if John hadn't written. Come here, come and preach with me. Come, come and preach with me. When I'm preaching. You are sleeping. Come. Oh, Mary, she's the one who wasn't dancing on the last time. OK, so stand here and you preach. When I preach, then you say Amen. OK, you see, now what was I saying? John. John, if John had decided, is she supporting the message? If John had decided that it's OK, others have done so. There is no need for me to write OK. Don't look at her anymore, don't look at her. Just stand still. Stand still so that I can concentrate. If John had decided at all whatever, I am sure that it was because of this particular verse that John decided to write his version. Then he started to write the way he is in the beginning. Now what does he say? What does he say? Does John? One verse one was the word. With God, wow. And a demon would say, what are you writing? It's nonsense. Wow. We wouldn't have had John 316 if somebody had not made full proof of his ministry. That is what it is like when you don't make foolproof of your ministry. We wouldn't have had John 424. What does he say? Wow. When John wanted to start writing miracles, I demon said what's miracles again? People are afraid to say, look, I want to write about something. I wrote about the nobleman's son. Matthew didn't write it. Marc didn't write it. Luke didn't write it. Then he wrote about the man who was by the pool of Bethesda for 38 years. That's one. Matthew didn't write it. All my demons were telling him that it's not necessary. Then he wouldn't have written about the guy who the blind man who Jesus met in the temperament healed him. And the Pharisees came and said, who made you say what I what I know is that I was blind and now I can see I don't know how and who it was. And the man who told me told me to go and wash my eyes. That is what I know. We wouldn't know that. Fantastic. You see how wicked you are when you decide not to make foolproof of your ministry. I say, oh, Mr. Mr. Pastor, So what? Am I also coming to contribute again? Now, I'll tell you something. We really have known. Have you heard of Lazarus, who rose from the dead after four days? We would never have heard. It's not in Matthew, It's not in Mark, It's not in Luke. It's nowhere. Only John, who was making full proof of his ministry, wrote it. You wouldn't know. I wouldn't know. After four days, Rose raised him from the dead. OK, why was John's memory and why was John writing this? Because every there are certain things that occurred to everybody. When I'm writing, I'll write it in a way. That's why I'm trying to take my ministry to its conclusion. What about yours? We wouldn't know. If you abiding me and my words abiding. Ask what you mean. It shall be done to you. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what you will, it shall be done unto you. Why don't you ask what you will? It shall be done unto you, No. We didn't know that this guy didn't write it. Matthew Mac Leuky, Johnny. Yeah. Matthew, Mark, Luke. None of them wrote it whatsoever. You ask in my name, I will give it to you. 0 Then you know what greater love has no man. Have you imagined a world without such a scripture? Wickedness for not fulfilling your ministry. You see, I want to say that everything God has given you to do, you take it to the logical conclusion. Yeah. And when you hold back yours, you will be surprised when you get to heaven. What you will be told. Yeah, I'm telling you, heaven is going to be you. See, Think more of death than of life. Death is more sure than life that you will lie in a coffin one day is more guaranteed than that you have a certain house or you will drive a certain car, or that you will even be 50 years old. More guaranteed. Wow, think more about that. You remember when Jesus was going to go away and then he prayed? Father, I pray that there may be one. We'll never know all that because somebody said somebody is doing it. And who are you also to come up and do? It's very serious not to make foolproof of your ministry. Yeah, but the Lord has come here and I've done what I can do. But what else can you do in the line of this word? Can you write something? No, I don't know anything. OK, Write what Jesus said. This man John wrote what Jesus said. When you read the red words, the words, what Jesus said and the bread of life, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. All this, you wouldn't have never, never heard it in this world. The woman of Samaria who came to Jesus and said I have water to give you that you don't know of. You never hear of these stories. It's nowhere. And you want to criticize John that his book was not complete and he didn't write it fully. We didn't see the life of Jesus in it, but this what he could also do and through what he could also do, we have something that is so different and unique. That's what it's like when you don't make foolproof and you think that, oh, somebody will go to that island. You see all the camps that I'm preaching. Every camp can become a book, but it takes somebody and it takes work. Every camp that I preach, you can't imagine the amount of effort it takes to make a book. If. What these 50 points I'm writing could have 50 points could have for a son. How to be a son. Do this advice. And all the stories I've told you could be written. I've told you a lot of stories. Yeah. Every day I tell you new stories. If it was all written that you could see that written in a way. But somebody has to do that work who can do it, and I can only do some. I preach more than I can write. So Kenneth Hagin, he had somebody who could convert his preaching into books. Yeah. He never wrote even one book, his hand. It was his secretaries and administrators, and they were able to make his thing, combat it in a way that you you can read it as a book. And Ora Roberts also never wrote any book. All the books that you see read Ora Roberts. It was not him. His son told me. He said my father never wrote a book with his son. He had somebody who was doing it and took his materials and put it together. Yeah, America, they have something they call ghost writers. He's the one writing, but he's a ghost. Are you? Are you alive? You are a missionary. You will not take books to minister the books to people and churches. What is your use then? You are singing. You will not sing well and take it to the ultimate. If I Am the Crutch have decided that he is just singing to his few American barristers, we wouldn't have so many songs. What songs wouldn't we have? Take your microphone. Jesus is the answer We. Have that. For the world today above him, there's no other. Jesus is the way. Jesus is the answer for the. What other song wouldn't we have? What other song wouldn't we have?

It won't be long. We go, we go, we go, we hold. So come the years and learn how the years has learn. Any day now, we'll be going home. Oh, so count the years as long as long, and count the world as we eat, as we eat, and count the weeks as day. We. Wouldn't have that song? What other song wouldn't we have? Yes, Lord, I really do want you. Yes, Lord, I really do need you. I hate you whispering in my ears. I feel you tacking down my heart. Nothing on my door. Yes, Lord, I really do want you now. Yes, Lord, I really do want you. Yes, Lord, I really do need you. I hate you whispering in my ears, attacking at my heart, knocking on my doors. Yes, Lord, I really do want you now. Wow. Either. What other song would we have? You, you say that and your son say wow, God, I give a ministry and that's all I sing and I make my own little choir and everything is OK. And you wouldn't.

That's why I'm done and I'm talking with. You now what other song wouldn't we have you sing Tell me to. Them. And as he plays in me, Jesus is calling you. Oh, all he can say, get. All that he wants you to do is come home. Come on, come on. You may have some problem in life might be so confused. But when you come back home, God is going to fix it for you. So all he is saying, all that He wants you to do, please come home, please come home, come home. Come we. Wouldn't have this. Song tell you come home. We wouldn't have this song because. This is where we belong. The tour is always open. Please, we asking you to come over life, we wouldn't have it. We wouldn't have it. And there is food on the table and your families waiting. We've been fasting and praying for you. Come home, come home, come home. Don't stay away. Oh, don't stay away. Come. On When you get this message, I'm going to die. Don't stay, stay away.

What song did you sing for him? We wouldn't have that soon. And very soon we are going to see the soon we are going to see the King soon and very soon we are going to see the King. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we are going to. See no more. Crying. No more crying. We are going to see the king. No more crying there. We are going. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Andre Crouch has said that Charles Wesley has already written the Christian songs that we need. Such as what? Charles Wesley has written the Christian songs, Yes, now thank we all, God bless you has already. Why should I Angry Crouch? What else am I going to add to Christian music when Charles Wesley has already written the best? Time for me will want to say for me to death love you. Amazing, love, amazing. So Andre Crouch when? Sit down. Sit down South. Andre Crouch would have said that since this type of music are already there. Now that my heart is broken and I'm sitting by my piano and I have a broken heart and I feel like singing, I wouldn't sing my song. What song would he sing when his heart was broken? I've had many tears and sorrows. I've had questions for tomorrow. There have been times when I didn't know right from wrong, but in every situation God sends blessed consolation that my trials only come to make me strong. I have been to many places and I have seen lots of. Faces. It's making food proof. Of different times. When I do what you know, I do, so I'm of the broken heart, it's also right in what you know. But in my lonely hour, those precious are lonely hour. Jesus let me know that I do. I have his own. Oh, I've learned to trust the Jesus. I've learned to trust the God. Oh, yeah, yeah, You know, I've learned. I'm all this. And I thank God for the mountain, I thank God for the valleys, and I thank God for the storms. He brought me through it. Because if I didn't have a problem, no, I wouldn't know that girl could saw that, and I wouldn't know what faith in God could do. Through it all, I've been through it all. I've learned to trust the Jesus and I've learned to trust the All. I've learned. If somebody hadn't felt like making foolproof of his ministry, you wouldn't know such songs. Wonderful songs. I didn't think a good thing. Did they happen to me? Come on, baby. And then they told me once they were bound one mouse, the dreamy If I didn't think of it, then it happened to me. Oh, somebody told me. Somebody told me. They told me. They told me they could be bad. And then they told me. Somebody has, they decide, well, these are nothing. These are nothing. These are just little, little rhymes and nursery rhymes, songs. The West West has already written real songs through all the changing scenes of life. It is all my God shall still my heart and tongue and Floyd will magnify the Lord with me with me eggs all this day when it distressed to me my God, I read there's names of God and calm arise. That's where means of what that's are giving right. I thought you all, you are inside my child. So when what is his name, Andrew Crouch came on the scene, he would have said, you know, that his American way is not this deep word through all the changing scenes of life, that all he is saying is that, Lord, I know you need somebody. Lord, I know you need somebody you know. No, you need somebody. You wouldn't have somebody. Wow. You have to have somebody. You can depend on me. You can depend on me, Jesus. You can depend on me. Jesus. No, you need somebody. I want to meet somebody. I've got to have somebody. You can depend on me. So many people. What have I ever heard from you, Lord? So many problems they have. They think they can go through it all. They can do the same. I know you need somebody. You've got to have somebody. You see, it's very dangerous not to make full proof of your ministry. You don't know what you are leading out or you you have you have demoted yourself and degraded in your mind your contribution that it's not deep life through all that change it seems of life. You see, it's not all I know you need. Some. I know you need somebody. Yes, I know you need somebody. Oh yes, got to have. Somebody now sing me Psalm 27. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I be? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked one, even my enemies, came off to me, to my flash. There's time and they. All. Right now, when Andrew Crouch also came, I said I also feel like singing my own psychedelic. I'm 27, isn't it true? So how about that one? How about that one? Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I be? He's the strength of my life. So you won't do it now somebody? Has. Done it already. No need to be afraid. My Lord is my life. It's my salvation. Yeah. Or shall I be peace, The strength of my life day and night. Don't need to be afraid. I have a secret place where my sea God's face, He gives me peace from my troubled life. He carries me over my mountain, He comforts me the land when I'm going to a soul star. Yes, my Father loves me. So I say the Lord is my life and my salvation. All whom shall I see A He's the strength of my life. It's very dangerous. It's very dangerous not to make foolproof of your ministry. They say, oh, it's just a song that I was just, I mean, it's for the half of I mean, I sang to my children and we are OK. There will be no song for backsliders when when you backslidden and you want to come back. What do? Yeah. Take me back. Take me back to the Lord to. The place where I don't have a good song like this. Take me back. Take me back, Lord, Lord, Take me back to the Lord. First day I feel that I'm so far from you love but still I hear you calling me those simple things that I want to the memories that run with me. I can say love and blame but till my clown has had in mind. The. There will be no song, no song like this for my sliders and that there will be no song for beloved. When beloved are saying bye, bye, I'll be thinking of you. I'll be praying for you. Come on. I'll be thinking of you, thinking of you. Don't be far apart. You're in my heart. And there you always stay. Till we meet again someday. I'm thinking of you, you, you. I'll be praying for you. Yeah, I'll be praying for you. Praying all you hopes and dreams that there will come true and should there be some rain, I know the sun will shine again because I'll be praying for you. If you have some problems, don't let them ever get you down. Just remember. Just remember God's rest. It's always to run home in the home being tomorrow. They will always do you well. We wouldn't have any belong back to you if there's. A pain in your heart. You don't be afraid to help me. Tell me that I'll be thinking of you. I'll be thinking of you and when I return, when I sure like to see you again, my friend, I'll be praying for you. I'll be praying for you. Yes. I'll be fasting with you. I'll be thinking of you. Yeah, I'll be thinking of you. I can't get you out of a fire I keep thinking about. You all the time thinking of. You. I'll be thinking of you. I can't get you out of my mind. I keep thinking about you all the time. Thinking of you, Rebecca. Get you out of the fire. I keep thinking about you all the time. I'll be thinking of you. I'll be fasting with you. Yeah, I'll be fasting with you. I'll be praying for you, Becky. I'll be praying for you. I'll be thinking of you. I'll be thinking of. You, you wouldn't have such a nice song, So sing to your beloved when you're saying bye. Bye. And what else will we so many. I'm going to keep on singing. I'm going to keep on. Thinking I'm going to keep on shouting. I'm going to keep on lifting my voice and let the world go with Jesus. I'm going to keep how. Many have decided to make foolproof of your ministry to avoid a serious disgrace in heaven. When you arrive, they will show you all the things you were supposed to have done and the effect it would have had so many people would have been made. You just took your ministry one step further. You sang it in your check. Make a recording so that people in Ghana and Helmina can sing it and you won't do the recording. You are doing the ministry, but you won't take a step to do it full time. You are doing the ministry, but you won't take a step to write a book or you are doing the ministry. You won't do, just won't take. I mean just the next step that would have made it complete that this thing you started, you've taken it to the logical conclusion. You wait and see those of you who think you are going to have a good time in heaven and you just walk around here and just do partial ministry. Basha ministry 2/3, one third 6%, ministry 10% and you arrive with your 10% smiling. Let us start crying. Find handkerchiefs. Yeah, find handkerchiefs to put in your coffin to take with you. You are going to need your tears will be many. Weeping and gnashing. Have you not heard before? Gnashing means regret and weeping means tears. Tears with regret, tears with regret when it show you your gift. Heavy, heavy duty gifts implanted in You say you won't write it, you won't sing it, you won't do it. So these are just local. I'm going to keep on singing. I'm going to keep on. This is not spiritual life through the many. And can it be and so yours, you won't write it. That's what would have happened if John had not written his book, if Andre Crouch had not written his songs. So for this song, they are not inspired of any property is broken heart I'm using to bite through it all. But the broken heart you have is for other people to benefit from the broken heart. Because we have all been through the mountains and the valleys. We have seen many places and many people, but through it all have come to trust in Jesus and to depend upon his will. Wow. If he hadn't ridden it, Some of the experiences you've had, some of your backgrounds, some of you, maybe you are Nigerian or half Nigerian. God is going to use you in Light House in Nigeria because Light House is going to be one of the biggest sets in Nigeria one day. Yeah, it is not today, but it will be one day. Yeah, You see it happening practically. Yeah, maybe God is going to use you. Yeah, God is going to use you. It's going to help you, to help the church to advance and to improve and to increase too many things. But it's like you think that yours is not much, yours is a lot, you're little that you contribute. You have no idea. When I wrote a book my first time, when I wrote a book, Professor Amanumissa, vice chancellor of the University of Science and Technology, he launched the books and he said congratulations to me. You even deserve a degree for this, he told me. And I felt so stupid, they will say. He said, no, I'm serious. It's a great thing. These 10 little pamphlets are the frugality, fornication, duality, beauty and so on. I said, these are pamphlets he said, you deserve. I didn't know it was important. I was trying. I didn't know that such books would be coming out later. Our people would travel from Kenya in planes. Pastors would buy their tickets and travel from Kenya, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and pastor came from Swaziland last year to Ayanshaka. He came with 22 pastors from Swaziland. I don't know them, I don't know them. They buy their own ticket and come to Ghana to come and listen to you because of her book. I met a pastor from Swaziland. He said he used my he used, he said as if I wrote the books. Never talked to you before. Everywhere I go by preaching 3 * I preached 2. And the third day I used it to preach. And I sell the books everywhere I go. Yeah, he said the book made me have a mega church. I've met many classes. I said I won't write my own. Number one. People are laughing. What is this? A book? Number one. Number two. Number four. Number five. The first one I started writing. I always wanted to write in poems, but at the beginning I felt shy that I'm writing number one. Number two, I started to write it like a kind of essay and later the law said, look, write it how I'm sharing with you number one, number two, number three. Is this number one, number two, number three that has gone to so many places? Is it not 15 numbers I'm giving you today? I've even given you 51 before we have reached there 50. Is it not easier? You sit there and say you stand up. You are going to do what? What is your what? Emmanuel Aqua. What are you doing in the world? What do you do in this world? I my my course. OK. I'm studying history and linguistics. Linguistics. What is the use of linguistics for us? Tell us. We study languages, the technical study of languages. So we take all kinds of languages. Can be English, can be French. Origins of languages. We divide language. Origin of languages. Charlie, we have been. You are wild. You are great origins of languages. You are a Leonard man. OK. Thank you, children. Woe to you if you don't fulfill your ministries. So you see why I was angry with Ida that she hasn't made her songs? How many agree that I should be angry with her? Raise your hand if you think I should be angry with her. Either look at all your friends there. Raise their hand. Raise your hand so that she can see those. Either look at the back so that they can see. And the front. All these front, look at the front one. They are all angry with you that you have not made full proof of your ministry. Now this stars who are singing this nice song, don't you think it should? When we went to tech and we were singing, they were asking is there any CD? Is it not true? Girls, did you have some people were asking huh. People were asking what say it? People are asking for CDs if they record it all, that's a compilation. Some people even asked that they did the songs themselves and everything. It's a wonderful thing. When you share the song, say, hey, that song, we like to say original. Yeah. So one. Yeah. The thing is also nice in a special way. So kukumin and kusetin have been added to the scene, and it has changed. That's better at all. Are you still around? Go sit down. That is your last warning #44 fight a good fight, fight. I'm going to just skip over that point because if we are able to get into the war, I'm going to give you the principles of armies in war.
