Welcome to track #15 of Why are you not a missionary? Next time you just just whatever and then you come and sit here like an Angel. I think we don't know you. There is nothing you have to offer. About your righteousness or whatever there's. Only one thing that you can do. That's why the Bible says without that particular thing, faith, faith, faith makes you please God. That's what to be holy because I have to keep myself. The first person that kissed me was my husband. The first person that I, you know, I embrace was my husband. The first person that I slept with was my husband. I believe in holiness, not keep myself as the Spirit of the Lord has also shown me because I'm that type of person. I believe in holiness because the Bible says without holiness you shall not see God. OK, OK, OK. I accept what you are saying. So holiness, you have defined it as not committing fornication. So when the Bible say, oh God, you are holy, holy, holy, holy, it means God is not committing fornication. Then when the law said this is a holy anointing oil, then it means that the oil is not committing fornication. Then when he anointed the garments, he said these are holy garments, means that the garments are not committing fornication. And he anointed the Tabernacle. He said this is a holy Tabernacle means that the tabernacles are not no, no, that's not the meaning of holiness. Holiness, holiness, holy, holy. I'll give you I'll give you the from my from my dictionary. Sure. I'm high tech. I have the units read it. Who can read who has eyes? Eyes. If you describe something as holy, you mean that it is considered to be special. Special because it is connected with God or a particular religion. To them, as to all Tibetans, this is a holy place. So if. You read again if you. If you describe something as holy, you mean that it is considered to be special. It is considered to be special because it is connected to God. It cannot be your your formal definition of I didn't fornicate, so I'm holy. What about women who don't feel temptation to commit fornication? Does it mean they are some? Of them are full of. Wickedness, jealousy, all kinds of other evils. Yeah. So Holiness is? More than to do with sex more of feelings, yes, it more it is more than to do with feeling. God is making you a special servant of his separated set apart for his purposes. Amen. So holiness is more than I I've not I've not had sexual feelings or when you have sexual feeling then it means you are you have sexual feeling. You are just like Elijah. I'm a man of light. Passions. You don't have sexual feeling, rather you are sick. You don't have sexual feelings. You are feeling sick, actually. Are you feeling well? You are feeling well. You have to have those feelings, yes. So a man with such sexual feelings can have what can have what 1 branch? Hey. Are you surprised that God is using somebody like you, someone like me, someone like me, Someone Like You? Man and woman of life, passions. If you are a lady and you feel like getting married. If you are a lady and you feel like getting married, you want a man to love you. You want a man to save my honey. You want a man to say you are special to be my baby. It's not abnormal. It means you're feeling well. It means what you're feeling well. I'm feeling well. You see, the brothers, they have a desire for sex. The sisters, they have a desire for love. That is what the sisters are feeling all the time. I want somebody to. Draw me close. This song, this song, this song, I tell you, I'm sure it was composed by a woman, wasn't composed by a woman. You see, I told you it is a woman who can write such a song because she's describing something that she's looking for. That's why you see, that's why God he uses as we. Are if you are not a woman, you cannot. Compose this song. Why? Why should I? I'm feeling hot. Why did I draw you close? I'll be close to go away. I'm feeling hot. The weather is hot. I should draw you close. Let let your lobster. I see. It was originally. Let your arms. That's why Sisters. Love to be hurt if you hurt them. Now that I said oh Charlie, we are OK. Yeah, it is in the song. Is it true or it's not true? Our brothers, we are not interested in hearts. We want the real thing, the real thing, the real thing. What is the heart? What is? What is the heart? What are you going to do with the heart? What are you going to do with the waste of energy, waste of time? Get to the job. Drop me to your side. Oh. What are you going to do by my side? So. So are you listening to me? So you realize that all those. Feelings. They are in a normal person. They're in a normal person means we are feeling well, they're not feeling sick, feeling well, but in spite of all these, normal. Things God can use you only based on one thing, that you have faith. So you see a person is going. Look, excuse me? You see, the person is moving on, she feels. Like I wish. Somebody would hold me. I wish somebody would draw me clothes. But she's still believing in God. She's going. Nobody's nobody's holding me. I'm going. Nobody's holding me. Nobody's driving me clothes. I'm still going to serve God. I'm not going to stop. Nobody's holding me. I'm going to stop going. Nobody's holding me. Nobody's calling me. Nobody's bringing me to the side. I'm still going to serve the lot. I'm still going to. Serve the lot. And why did she move? Because she was. Because she was bereft of such feelings? No, she had the feelings. She had the feelings. Obviously we're pulling her down. And she had. Faith, she had faith, she rehab, you see rehab experience, experience, but she had faith when she saw the spice. I believe, I believe that from God. Would you like to sleep with me this evening? I can sleep with all three of us. I can satisfy all of you tonight and I believe in you too. I'll do my work and I believe in you. Shabalaba. And her name was added to Abraham and all this Abraham, Abraham, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, all these things, Jesus Christ. So you see a brother, the brother will be feelings of oh Lord I rebuke it in Jesus name. Oh my God, the dreams I had yesterday, the feeling that I'm having, oh Lord, when I see the Bantos, something is doing to me. Jesus, Jesus bless me, Lord, bless me, Lord, I see. But still you are moving. You are moving 1 branch even instead of the feeling. 1 branch, 2 branches, 3 branches, 4 branches, 5 branches. Yeah, and the thing that is pleasing God, Yeah, look at them. Hey, look. The thing that is pleasing God, it's not the absence of all those. So it's not how you see pastors. They are sitting with their beautiful wives, but they have seen another. Sister And they are asking to whom? To, to whom? For to whom doesn't belong to to whom? To to whom? Doesn't belong to to whom? To to whom? To whom? That's it. Hey, you are not thinking of your own that is sitting by you. You are sitting up on those that is working outside, and you are asking to whom? To to whom? For to whom does it belong? To, to whom? To to whom? For to whom? That's it. You are joking. Concentrate on your Bible. You are just about to preach. Don't you know you are a man of God? Have you forgotten that you are a pastor? Look at the question that you are asking. To whom? To to whom? To whom? Doesn't belong to to whom? To to whom? To whom? Belong to to whom to. You are forgotten that you are a man of God. You are forgotten that you are youth pastor. But you see in. Spite of the feelings you want somebody to hold using it but. In spite of that, God is using you. One branch, 1/3 branches. We think we are joking. 5 branches, 6 branches. 7 branches. 8 branches. 9 branches. 7 branches, hey. Because of fine protocol, there are certain things I will not say this evening. That is how it is. You will be struggling, but you have faith. So. Sometimes you look at the why does God bless this person and the person believes in him? That's why I never write up so much because the person has committed the sin of the flesh. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not that you should go and commit it. You should never commit it. But did the person government? Oh, it's a It's a feeling. Something came, I said something came and I was fighting it. It's just biloba and he couldn't go and I fell down. But the Bible said righteous now for less every time and rises again. This is why God is going to use you, not because you are good. Without faith, you can never make God happy. You're righteous feeling and not at all. Have you wondered this woman, Amy Semple McPherson, founder of Four Square Gospel Church, Ohio? She married, then her husband died. Instead of thinking of her husband till she dies, the original she said my husband Roberts oh Roberts. He taught me everything. He held my Bible by me. He taught me everything. Roberts his name was Robert Semple. He taught me everything. But just now she was looking Lord, which of their brothers is there any brother? Is there anybody who can hold me Lord? And then she couldn't help herself. And then she went and married and somebody and that guy was not interested in the ministry and so she divorced him. And then she was a celebrity like Princess Diana. Then, at the peak of her life, she was. She was. She wanted she. Wanted somebody? Baby I was saw a girl. So Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, she was just a normal person, but she has faith. She has faith for miracles, faith in God. She believed in Jesus, that she was normal. And he said, that's why I'm saying that those normal things should never let you stay away from obeying God. That what is going to make you please God. It's not the absence of those things. Doesn't you have to fight them and control them? But I tell you, look at Katherine Kuhlman, miracle worker. When she saw somebody's husband. Katherine Kuhlman one day, she entered the hotel and she saw. She entered the bedroom and she saw a mirror on top of the bed like that. And she was with some people. She just looked at her and she laughed. So I know what all these are for. I know what all these are for. She's not a small, small person. Somebody's husband. Yeah. Somebody who I was married with two children because she wanted somebody to throw me, throw me close, hold me close. I need your lecture on the round and bring me to your side and walk me by yourself. I want to sit. By you in church. The woman had two children. Oh, she took the man's husband. She stayed with him for six years and one day she said no, I can't. I can't do the anymore. I have to obey. God, she left him. She walked away. She called him Say, say, say, I will never when I, when I get on this train, I will never see you again. Yeah. One day she was in the office and she received a letter Happy birthday or happy Valentine's Day or Sunday, when she opened herself from say and the. The man, Jamie Batham, who wrote the book, said that some. A cloud entered the room, She said. She said I don't know what it has cost me, what it means for me to be here, this miracle minister, all these things. I. Don't know what I've been through. And she have faith not as she was. I mean this excellent to this A1 type of yeah, telling you perfect of everything. Everything is good. Everything is like they take pictures. Nice. She was just ordinary and she had faith. God use her. Are you there? Are you still around? It's fantastic. So brother, have faith, but the more faith you have, the more you please God. Got to be happy feeling Oh don't what have you read this book When the Lord walked the earth, when Jesus was being tempted, he says some seconds I've come to appreciate these things that human beings struggle over. When he was feeling hungry, he himself saw that I told a small thing to be a human being. So a small thing to be a human. How many I felt like that's not a small thing. When somebody is when a baby is born, the first thing they do is to cry. Because the world that you have. Coming from. What type of place is this? What trouble is this that I have come with you, so I just want you to believe when I watch myself on that is a micro, I'm surprised I don't know what is going through my head. The first day that I mounted the stage for the Healing Jesus Crusade, I wish they had a video of that. If you get it, you see that I, I, when I stood there, I just laughed to myself. I said, because I'm determined that I will do it. If I die doing that, I will do it. I will stand there, I will preach, I will pray for that Somebody, somebody is not healed. Whatever, I will do it. Because he has told me to do, I will do it. And so ballistic thing be blessed in Jesus name. Yeah, ballistic. I said I'll do it. I'll do it suddenly and surprisingly and be greater power and greater force. Shandola, it's working for you to how many realize that you are normal. They are normal. That's our faith. Fear we fear. It's normal to be afraid. I tell you the things that I'm afraid of. You'll be surprised. I'm also afraid of a lot of things. When you see me work, I make my face true, as if I'm not afraid. No, I'm afraid. And I'm moving move. Toward the thing you are afraid. Of if you. Become small before you Sit down. Sit down. Yeah, she said. I know what it is for the mirror over the bench. I know what it is for the cool man of miracles. #5 Faith is important because it is only by faith that you can have a good report. It is only by faith that you can have a What a good report. Wow. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of nothing. For by it the elders obtained a good report. The elders obtained a good. Report don't have a good report at the end. Charlie The marking scheme has been set. The markings. We have been told what it gives Max We have been told what gives Max. It was only when they answered the faith questions that they got high marks. Yeah, I tell you, when Rejoiner went to heaven, he saw one of these men of God who had had a. Whole lot of. Problems on it and had died apparently in in a disgrace or problem or whatever. And he said the Lord pointed him to me is he? And he saw the guy glue through and he didn't allow him to speak to him. He said I just wanted you to see where he is. Yeah, I tell you, one day I read this, the life story of a A Allen, a man who preached with such miracles and such strength. When he died, he was a man, an ordinary man. He started having bone pain in his. He couldn't walk. They had to go to the hospital. He didn't want. They don't those. They didn't bleed in hospitals. The man of faith had gone to the hotel. Then when he went to the he went to this hotel. He was supposed he could be going for a surgery. He went to the hotel. His assistant called him when he went to the hotel. He couldn't. And I was not answering. When he entered the room. The man was lying there dead with whiskey bottles all over. He had drunk himself to death. Yeah, he said. He said I was the one who entered the room and I took all the bottles and packed them away and threw them away so that nobody will see. So the man suffered and it's like he was so tormented and he just, I mean, he's a human being. He described how this man night after night, he'll be holding crippled babies, these type of people, crippled training for them, screaming through of the night. Each one, pray for them, pray for them, pray for them. Man of faith. That's a normal person. And he was so depressed that it's like, oh, his faith and his whatever, it's like it has turned against him. He cannot even behealed himself. Oh, I've never best outcrying. So I read that book. When I read it, it's not in the normal God's general session was the man himself wrote a book. Yeah, it's not in those books. You wouldn't see it when I read for the first either. Tears came. I just started crying. Ballistic tears. Because do you know why? Because I sense. And I, I, I felt united in his human, I mean his human struggle. Yes, because he was in pain, couldn't walk. Bean is stopping. Come out and tell people Miracle, this, this, this home. And in those days, I had to go to hospital. She's like, it's like, it's like you are falling, but now you can even walk. And when he was a child, his mother and father used to sell alcohol, and they made soup with alcohol. They boil it and they point, they give their children to drink all that. Everybody's drunk, their babies, everybody's drunk in the house. That was how he grew up. Before you have have you been given soup with alcohol? Soup and alcohol. It's like as a child you grew up good light soup with alcohol. Are you, you. You don't. What you don't know is that every man of faith is also a human being, is also struggling. Struggling. But it is his faith that's carrying, his faith that is giving him the good reports. Yeah. His faith that is giving him that is. That is what attracted me to Robert Loudon when I I watched one day as he gave the story of Emison Sepal McPherson and when he said all the good things about her and he said, Amy, we honor you. We honor you for what you did for us in the body of the how do you set the example, how you did, how you fought, We honor it. I was so touching my eyes. I said, Oh, this man has honored, I mean has honored courts, people of faith, cause General. Oh, I was so attacked by it. I immediately called myself. I said find Robert Laden in the world and invite him. That's how can I keep. I was watching that thing. I keep watching the different times I watch. But I'm so touched when you see somebody who can see beyond the human struggles and see that this person has faith. Yeah, I tell you only by faith if I have a good report number six. It's only by faith that you can do the works of God. John chapter 6 verse 28. You can do the works of God through faith. Then said they unto me, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? And Jesus answered and said unto him, This is the work of God, that you believe on him, that you do what you believe. Yeah. You see it is a fast, oh it is a pray. Oh it is a read your mind. Oh it is a read. Listen to McClain. He said believe, believe. So when I read out for years I have read this verse and I was I say, how can you do the work of God believe. I feel like that doesn't make sense. How do you do the work of God? Just believe. But I realized that everything. Hinges on what you believe. What you believe shows us in what you do. When you do the thing, it's evidence of the fact that you believe. All people who are working for God have believed something. Yes, they believe something. Yeah, they believe something. I mean, God, Jesus has summarized the work of God in John chapter 6, verse 28. He said this is the work of God that you believe on him who he has said that is the work of God. That's all. So as I'm preaching, I'm trying to get you to believe so that you become You can become a missionary. You can become a missile, a devotee, a rocket, a dart, a projectile, a bullet, a fan, an admirer, a propagandist, an envoy, an iron boy, a converter. Shaloba Zaba Shandola is but anore. Talk to your neighbors, Say neighbor Shandalaba Subalakabaya. How can you do the way? How can I speak in town? How can I speak? I have to have faith. I cannot say I need faith so that I don't think that I'm mad, but I'm doing something that it is speaking to God. How be it in the Spirit is speaking? Huh. Yeah. Sit down if you don't have face. If you don't have face, if you are an idiot. Exhausted. He jotting, he jotting. He jotting. He jotting, he jotting. Don't have faith you. Are you dirty? Money. Wow. Witness Massafi. We go and we spend $150,000. Impeachable. After five days, the money has gone up in smoke. I don't have faith. Why is that $150,000? You know what I can buy with $150,000? If you don't have faith, you cannot do the work of God. You know what I can do with 150 thousand U.S. dollars? Going up and down to villages and so on. And when I finish, that's it. It's not as if there's a church left behind or there's aim. There's nothing. Just just penance of people. I believe that you, I receive Jesus as my savior. I believe today that I'm born again from today's Satan. I will not follow you. I'll follow Jesus Christ in Jesus the Amen. OK, bye bye $150,000 pH gone into the air. I must be a believer or I must be an idiotic. Tell somebody Jyoti idiot is an Italian form of. Idiot, Italian idiot, idiot. An Italian idiot idiot. Either you, I believe, or you are idiot. Italian idiot idiot. Tell somebody I'm a propagandist. Ask your neighbor. What? What do you do? I'm an agent. Special agent on special assignment. Shabba Lava. If you are not easily impressionable, you cannot be here. How many are easily impressed? It doesn't take much flowing fooling #7 Faith is important because it gives us life. Ah, he very level. I said to he that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John 333 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. Wow. You see, the energy we have, life we have, is because we have faith. Yeah. I mean, otherwise, what are you here today's what day? Tuesday or what today's Wednesday? What are you doing here at this time? Here, they're going to work tomorrow to earn some pound. You come and sit here, then they ask you to give £500 hundred. You're rather giving it away. The money that you should have gone to end this this morning and yeah, and then. Tomorrow you are not ending it, you are rather coming and sharing it away. Are you an idiotic? I'm a believer, I'm a believer, I'm a believer. That's why you are here. How? Can we do the rest of our belief? Everything will boil down to that basic. Thing Believing you'll believe something Before you can work for God, you must believe something. One day we went to Togo and we went to. Have a crusader. We gave away thousands of books and there was a pastor who came and he made a comment. He said at a point he said that you have seen something. That is why we are giving these books. Are we free to have seen something? That is why we are giving these books away. It's something that you have seen or will know or. Something that's why thousands will share it to the people and it's true before somebody can take his books and just share it. It's something that he must believe or you are an idiotic. #8 Faith is important because through faith our fest for things in this life is quenched our fest. Through faith, your fest for things in this world can be quenched. Yeah, and Jesus said unto them, John 634 and the bread of life, he that come to me shall never hanger, and he that believeth on me shall never test. Test, test for things disappears through faith. It's only through faith that your test for Mercedes-Benz, your test for BMW, your test for London, your test for America. Through faith, your test will be either believeth or shall never tell. Those testings will just go down. It's true. That's why you see some of us preaching. Bishop, Don't you like this? Don't you like this? It's only through faith the interest in all those things goes down. Yeah. You cannot. You cannot work for God without having faith, and some of your faith is normal. That's why your desire for that but through life is going to teach you certain things that you couldn't. Learn at a camp, you're going to learn it through the school of Hard Knocks, and then you believe more things. The school of Hard Knocks. How many have already been for one or two classes in that school? SHK school of Hard Knocks. We've done some small programs, modules #9 how many realize that your test for certain things is being quenched gradually. It's time. Yeah. Your test for a man. You look at us a man, Man, You look at the man. I say, man, what do you have to offer me? Your tests for the young ladies, you look at them, you say, sister, what do you have? What do you have to offer me at my age, at my spiritual age, my spiritual test has gone, my test has gone down. For such things faith is important because it enables you to relate with the Holy Spirits. It enables you to relate with the Holy Spirit. He that unbelieveth on me, as the Scripture have said in John 738, out of his belly it is He that believeth. On me, out of his belly shall flow. Holy Ghost flow. Flow from where? From He that believeth anointing flows from him that believeth he that believeth as the Scriptures. Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spake he of the spirits which they. That. Believe on him should receive. They that believe on him should receive. It's only believism. I feel the Holy Spirit said I should do this. I feel God said I should do it. Holy Spirit said it's for people who believe. There will be no confirmation. Please till you get to heaven, then you'll be told that it's confirmed. We confirmed this was right, that was right, this one was right, that was right, this was right, that was right. But till then you are in the dark. You just have to believe. When I say well the Holy Spirit said I should, I should employ you. I have to believe. Holy Spirit is it right? Is it wrong? You have to believe. It's only when you believe that you can flow with the Holy Ghost. Oh, Holy Spirit said go here, do this, call this person. You'll see the person in a dream, in a vision. There's a sister, you know, I had, I saw her in my dream. I was looking for somebody and I saw her. I saw her. I said, what is that? What is that? I saw that she has a peculiar haircut. So I saw. I said, who is this person? I love my mind. I was not on her. So I said, ah, then I immediately knew, no, the Holy Spirit want me to work with that Lady. Yeah, I just, I know. I. Know I believe I have to believe I have to believe people who believe are the ones who flow with Holy Spirit people who don't believe those Are you sure that is the value you could indeed your dreams. I mean something was you were thinking about in delivering and then certain certain things happened. You had some paper and then something was doing, something was doing at the back there and then you were saying that now he, that believer out of his belly, this specky of the spirit with those who believe, with those who believe should receive, with those who believe should receive, those who believe should. Flow with the Holy Ghost. This specky of the spirit with those who believe, yeah, believing people receive Holy Ghost. Yeah, when the Spirit said to me. Write a book, Write a book, Write a book, write a book. I was, I was in a Holiday Inn hotel here in England and the spirit said to me, send Pastor Jacob to Nigeria. Yeah, He was speaking to me on the bed. He was talking to me. Send him, Send him to Nigeria. I said, why should I send him Nigeria? He's a very cool pastor, You know, he's very whatever. What's the orders already? Somebody in Nigeria. Send him to Nigeria, this Speaking of the spring with those who believe will be able to flow it. And I and I believe and I said few things the Lord said to me do the Lord to go to London and start a church. I was in a hostel in in Geneva in a place called Crown Lawn Sea. In the hostel I was staying with a lot of other guys. We all used the same toilet and showers together. Yeah, and he said go to London and start a church. I said go to London and start a church. I landed here. I was 30 years old. I came to start a church here. I was working on the law. I said 30 years old, 30 years ago, you were born here. 30 years later if you come up, sent you back to where you were born. Yeah. Wow. But when I was going to Geneva, I didn't hear the Holy Spirit tell me go and start a church in June. My sisters kept inviting me to come. She come as she comes. We need a check, want a judgement to check. But here he said I should come and start. So I they did Some he said, some. He didn't say anything. I just flew. Just. Oh, OK, you go here. Oh, you go here. Oh, you go. That's why you can tell me that I was led and I was not led for this. I'm not quarrel with you. I just believe. I just believe that he's with me. Forgive. What is the meaning of ballistic? If something, if someone goes ballistic, he suddenly becomes greater and more powerful in a surprising way. Oh, unwanted way, he's gone ballistic. Wow, Andy, Are you ready to go ballistic? A ballistic missile, surprising way, unwanted by the devil, suddenly become greater and more powerful. Pleasant surprise. Surprise packets. Surprise packets. #10 Faith is important because it helps you to relate with the reality of death that we will encounter in this life. Amen. In this what? In this what Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection. And the dead and the life, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whomsoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this? She saith unto him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God. We should come into the world. Amen. Jesus said he that. Believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live. Now what he's saying is that he's talking to somebody whose relative was dead, and he was telling the person I am the resurrection and the life. If you believe in me, although somebody is dead, he shall live. So he was explaining and he was saying that he was explaining to someone who was experiencing a funeral and was telling the person that be. Through your beliefs in me, it will help you to overcome the bereavement and the sorrow and the reality of life. Whenever I I hold the hand of a widow or somebody who is money OK, or somebody who's money all right, OK over there. The the not the gentleman in the red and white. The one sitting on on his right. The gentleman? Yeah, the lady, The lady on his right. Take down her number. She plays for Egypt. Are you listening to me? How many know that death is not easy to deal with without faith? There is no sense in this life when you encounter death at close quarters. Death makes nonsense out of your life tell you. Only with faith can you relate with it. Death makes nonsense out of everything. A pastor goes to Angie, serves God from the age of 24, he goes there, he's there. Or this one from the age of 24, earlier even not from the age of 24. And he was married from the age of 24, goes there years before, lives in the village, gives up a possible career as a medical doctor, and then he's shot dead, bam, in the middle of 26 and leaves his wife, who's expecting a little baby. He doesn't make sense, is it? Without faith, you cannot relate with the things that are in this world. And that's why Jesus. Was trying to talk to this woman, Mata or Mary, whichever it was, telling her that look, look, and the resurrection of the life, if you believe in me, you will live again. Yeah, believe in me and you can flow with this thing. Amen. Only faith can work at such a time. #11 number what, 11? Faith is important because it helps you to relate well with a delegated authority on the mission field. Amen. It helps you to relate well with a delegated authority, a delegated authority. When somebody is delegated to you without faith, you cannot relate with a person. You need to have faith. Otherwise you say, who is this guy? Who is this new pastor? Who is this general overseer? Who is this person? Why should a woman be my pastor? What is a woman? This and that, this, this, this, that. I don't know this person. Who is this? What is that? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. But in John chapter 12 verse 44, Jesus cried out and said, he that believeth on me believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. So if you have faith, you believe not just on the person. That you see, but on the person who sent the person. So you believe on the person and the person who has been sent? Yeah. So people who don't have faith. People who don't have faith. We love Bishop, but we don't know you. You see? Who are you? When When did you come on the scene? You see, one day I had some. People working in my office and they were outside, you know, and then somebody came and he wanted to just come in. He said will you get out of here? Do you know when I joined the church? When did you come to the church? Will you clear from there? I want to see Bishop come on, open the door. I see he that really respects. Me will respect the person that I put there. And when the person breaks through like that, I'll have no regard for the person because you don't respect the person that I put there. It's true. In fact, I have noticed if I've sent somebody and the people don't relate well with the person, I blacklist that person. It's true. I'll blacklist you straight, I can just tell you that so that you know it if I have some because. The people that I wanted to work with, they didn't come to work with me. And these are people that have come to work for me. So they are very special to me. And I preach and I preach, I preach. A few of them will come, few, few, few. I had a staff meeting this beginning of the year. I told them, I said, I told them, I told them different, different people are special to me, different. And I mentioned, I said, you see these girls Salon, Michaela Ahmadi, Natasha, Anita, the five of them. I said they are. Very special to me, but you don't know. Yeah, I told them at the meeting, I said because these people, I've had sort of come with them. So you just. Came to be with me. So you may see them as whatever. You don't know. You should be a bit careful, yeah. But. I realize you see that something bad is somebody doesn't another person. Who you shouldn't, Yeah, just you just move into a dangerous area, yeah. And and anybody who fiddles around with Christ will receive the wrath of the Father because Jesus is is special, is the Son of God, is the only one and only Christ the Savior, the King of kings, the Lord of Lord, you play with him. Ish you play, you play with you don't know you don't know why as you grow in your faith, as you grow in faith, and maybe as you approach death, you will now. Appreciate what Christ did for you, how great he was to approach death confidently and die for you and die for. Be told go and die and not tend to your Father. Is that what you will do to yourself? Do you know what it means to die? What you would have said to your father, we have told you go and do people even send their children to certain school? They say that my father doesn't love me because look at the school that he has sent me to. I sent somebody to run. I said I don't like him. That's what I've sent him. Jesus was sent to the cross. He never turned around and said, he said that our eyes come for the Son of Man to be glorified as if a seed. That's not he understood. He understood his mission very well said unless I go into the garden and die or abide alone. And he said, oh, they don't like me. That's why they've sent me here. These people, they don't like me. They don't like guilty. Guilty. 3 Some of you small rebuke, your mind will not be going. This way, this way, this way. If you are a child, your father must be able to shout at you. Yeah, I have to apologize. Your father have to apologize. You know that. That is the whole. Team's spot. They must be able to. And the fact that the person is saying something, that's the best sign. If I don't say something, it means I'm having thoughts. Now when I say my mind, that's the end of the mind. There's no more mind left. Your mind has been said. There's no more mind again. But when nothing is said, there is a mind. Are you listening to me? OK #12 Faith is important because it helps you to do greater works. Greater works, greater works, he that believeth on me, John 14 verse 12, The works I do shall he do also and greater works. How many want to do greater works is for those that believe I going to do greater works on the mission field. You know, you see the people who went to Mexico, Natalie Marcella, I believe that's why they went. It's believed that made them go, not Holiness. Righteousness, maturity, education, love. This, that, that. Who? What are you talking about? We are talking about faith. He that believe greater works than this, shall he do Shabba Lava. Zub, Zub Zabba. Tell your neighbor. Neighbor. I'm a devotee on my way to do greater works. Keep watching. You are going to enjoy this. I'm an envoy, I'm a propagandist. I'm a missile. I'm a rocket, and I'm going ballistic from 2010. I am going fully ballistic. Fully, fully ballistic. I am an indoctrinator. I am a converter. I am a fan. I am an admirer. I have been sent by a religious organization to convert people to my beliefs. I have been sent abroad by my church. In the name. Of Jesus, keep watching. Greater works are coming out of me. Say, neighbor, I'm going ballistic, which means suddenly and surprisingly, I'm going to get greater and more powerful in the name of Jesus. I'm going ballistic from 2010. One branch. None.

I'm a rocket, I'm a projector, and I'm going ballistic. Sit down, look, go and find some mature ones sitting on that seat. I'm sending you as special agents. Go to the back, ask them to go to bed. Tell them that they can go to bed. They are not impressed. Lead a special envoy to the back and then ensure that those who are not impressed can go to bed. Now come on. Hey. Have you located 1? Hey. None. Come on. Listen, tell your neighbor neighbor I'm carrying something. Are you afraid of what I am carrying? I'm a. Carrier. None. Sit down, sit down #13 #13 branches. We want branches. Branches.

They come. None. Hello Neighbor. Neighbor. We're expecting somebody's slim and. #13 Faith is important because it separates us from the world. 2nd Corinthians, chapter 4, verse 14. Find your neighbors the agent coffee agent Sam. Now second Corinthians chapter 4. What am I saying? 2nd Corinthians chapter 6, Sorry, that's 14 be in our unequally yoked together with unbelievers, unbelievers. Once somebody has unbelief, you cannot be close to that person, even even in the church, you see, even at the camp. That is why I was seeking, I was seeking a deportation order for those unbelievers remaining within the camp, the spies, double agents. What fellowship has righteousness? That means that righteousness is believing and unrighteousness is not believing. What communion hath light with darkness? That means that light is believing and darkness is unbelieving. You are in darkness when you don't believe things, when you are not easily impressed, you are in darkness. You must be impressed. What concord hath Christ with Belial? That means Christ is believing and Belial is unbelieving. And finally, what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? I mean. I mean, there is no connection you you become so separated from the world. When you move in faith, because you become so different, so different what, what parts? I mean, which connection would there be between he that believes and an evil or somebody who does? There will be no connection. I have no unbeliever friends. What am I going to do with an unbeliever friend? I have no, I know unbelievers, I know where they live, I interact with them. But. I have no friends, not at. All even within the church, I do not relate with people who don't believe, people who are not impressed. That is why people who believe what I'm saying, that they are impressed. So impressed that they would actually live and come to work in the ministry. Like I mentioned the name of the girls. Oh, I mentioned Claudia, who's so impressed that she will leave Mexico and come so impressed I will vamis become closer to such people because once the person does not believe what? Path or how much? What concord? There's no path. I mean, there's nothing in common. We become so apart. And I find myself coming close. That's why I told Pasobe when he was in in London doing full time on Tuesdays. I told him that when you go to Kenya and I don't see you in the Uki will be closer to you. It's. True. I will be closer to you because I have. More in common with you because I have more in common with believing people because if I if I not, look, when I was in medical school, I had drums in my room, loud speeches on Sunday morning. I'm carrying chew boxes and drums across and all the medical stores that they come out of there and they're looking at as I'm working. So what does he do? They don't even say anything medical. They don't talk. Oh, just gossiping. So what does he do? He say he's starting a church. Hey. I was immediately separated. From those who did not believe I'd gone ballistic and I was a surprise, they were expecting something different. As a medical student, they were expecting something different from me. They were expecting something different. Tell somebody something different, not something something different. Something different, expected. Something different. We're expecting something different. As I'm holding drums. Come, let's carry the drums. Let's carry it down. You see how funny it looks? Disconnected. Yeah. Yeah, disconnect this one. What type of brands are these? One branch and I was coming in the beginning, there was something different from me. So on Sunday morning, I'm going like this. I'm going on the corridor, medical student. Is that a medical students is is that what you expect? And I'm going like this. Then they hear. Then they hear the cross in the classroom. A group. Of students went to see Professor Champion, the Dean of the medical school, to tell him that we are disturbing and. That they came. To the school to learn a delegation. And that there's a ballistic student and carrying drugs disturbing us. And into Ballistics on Sunday morning, we're expecting something different. How many agreed? Are they were expecting something different? Are we expecting something different or we're expecting something different? Myself, Hamish. Dr. Hamish, God bless him, he he filled his room with boxes. Hamish. He he there he went even further. Yeah, he was Gables. He was W because what happened was that as the Ted developed, we made trop boxes for the things so that they would be whatever preserved and. He kept all the troubles so. In his room, if his room is from here to here where the girls are all here was troubles. So you when you enter, you enter a corridor form by the troubleses and his job. All around and he lived inside the Troubleses. For you one branch, 1 branch. He lived inside the branch, inside the boxes. And then the morning they will be carrying boxes, yeah. We're expecting something different. They thought we wouldn't pass. How I was afraid that I shouldn't fail. For them to laugh at me in the screen, that was my greatest fear that I will fail the exam and they will get something to laugh at me. Sheesh. When I went for exam, I prayed when I'm doing a final exam, I stopped learning on Friday and I fast on Saturday. The whole day I fast without learning and I lie in my room fasting to train, committing myself and setting lectures. I have written their names in some of the Psalms in the Bible. I have written their names inside my Psalms that God should save me, God should save me from wicked and unreasonable, and God saved me every time. Every time he saved me. When I entered was ISIS fire both Part 1 and Part 2. When I finished my Part 1 exam, I thought I'd failed. I thought I'd failed because I had a terrible experience. After we were sitting in the room waiting for our final oral exam. The place was if somebody had died, nobody was speaking. Why? Yet we're just sitting there like this. You call us warm as if they are calling us to execute us. Afterwards I went to see my professor. I said I feel he look at me. What do you mean go and drink tonight? Are you sure? When drink, find something to drink and drink. I was expecting something different, not knowing that fast. Oh, the final exam. Satan had intended to disgrace me instead of me to get a normal case like a goiter. A woman with a goiter or simple cancer of the stomach or simple cancer of the breast or something that I can give the causes, diagnosis, treatment, complications, drugs, all those things. No, they brought me a 12 year old boy who is supposed to be in the children's block when I asked him to speak English a day B. Day B. Which means no, I don't speak English. I was expecting something different. So I decided to call upon my gun. So I spoke and I said, do you speak? Can I said David, I don't speak. Can I could speak that one more? You don't speak only three. My God. So I managed to find the words. What is wrong with you? And I asked him what is wrong with you, he said nothing. There's nothing wrong with me. There's. Nothing wrong with. Me. I'm supposed to, I'm supposed to clock him. I'm supposed to talk to him, find out he's presenting complaints, his problems, whatever, examine him and I'll be sit standing there waiting. The examiners will come and then they will ask me. So what did you have here? And so they said, 12 year old boy, he presented with cough with this, with that. These are the symptoms he had. On examination, I found that he was pale. He was this. He had a lamp here, he had a master standard. So I diagnosed this, this, that and that, and I think I'll treat it with this and that and that. But when I asked the boy what is wrong with him, there is nothing wrong here. So I asked him, now what are you? What are you doing? Is I don't know. And my time was going and I said, so when did you come? I said, well, I came here long. I've been here for about two years. He was. He has been on the ward for a law. He stays there. He stays. He was. Living on the ward So as has anything happened to you in the past? He said yes, I was climbing a tree and then I fell down and the stick went into my stomach. And then what? They said they took me to the hospital and they put a tube in my stomach and they brought another tube out. When I eat Fufu, it comes out of the tube. That is what is wrong with me. Satan had appeared to destroy me. What kind of case is this? It doesn't fit any case. Oh, diagnosis. Fufu diversion. My God save me, God help me. What happened was that the electress themselves tried to find a diagnosis with the boys folder, but the one that had been there for some years, so his folder was fat like this. So they themselves were trying to go through to see what is wrong with the boy. So by the time they they left me there for a long time, by the time they came, they themselves were not sure. God granted me mess mess because after I've carried these drums, one branch, 1 branch, just one branch, 1 branch in calibu. Wow. You see what can come out of you if you believe. If you believe. So brothers and sisters #13 is what separates you from the world. Are you glad to be separated from the world #14 Faith is important because it helps you not to be confused by life. You are going to be confused by life when you do not have faith. First. Peter 26 Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture. Behold, I lay in Zion, I lay in Zion, a chief cornerstone elect precious. He that believeth on him shall not be confounded. You will never be confused in London, in the UK in the name of Jesus #15 Faith is important because it is your master key to victory. Ameni, your master key to victory, Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Your victory depends on your faith. As you keep on believing, you are going to have your victory. Have faith in God. Amen. On the mission field, it may take time. You may not know how, you may not know when He will do it again. Wow, is it powerful. All right #16 faith is important because through faith you will not be condemned, even though you. Are a very bad person. Even though you are a very bad person, you will not be condemned. That's why faith is so important, because you will not be condemned. He that believer in him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already. OK, it's not he that is not holy is condemned. He that believeth now is condemned. He are condemned already. So. Faith is how many. I realize that it's very important to believe things #17 faith is important because you can overcome the obstacles of life through faith. Jesus saith unto them, Have faith in God. Truly I say unto you, Whosoever saith unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou. Cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his hand that you believe That those things we say as shall come to part. You shall have whatsoever is here. So through faith you can overcome the mountains. If either was here, I'd let us sing that song for you. There is no mountain to you, see. You know what to say, Shonda. You know how to sing. There is no mountain to be God, can't you? You sure you know how to sing it? All right, All right. Sing it, baby. Shawanda. So 18. There is no mountain to be. God cannot come in. Oh, there is no mountain to high. He can.
