16. Interaction 2

Welcome to Track. #16. Of my first love. How many do you have? 18? A person with first love knows that the little things spoil the love, Amen. Take the foxes. The little foxes that spoil the vines, Amen. There are certain little things that spoil the love is that. Also watch out for them #19 a person with first love is not an employee, he is owned by the Lord, Amen. You see, when you are experiencing first love, it's not about my job, the work that I've been employed to do, Amen. It is about. Hallelujah. Any questions? Anybody has a question? Pardon. Yes. Any questions? Hannah? Is it Hannah? OK. And then I saw this handpressed. Magdalene. Was your hand up? OK, How to write? What? How do you know if you are proud? I'm sure you are. I don't know. How do you know that you are proud? You know? Oh. What are signs of pride? Yes. OK, OK. The the the Benita. Do you want to please stand up and tell her what? I was saying that recently I was listening to one of Bishop's messages and he just said that it's only by pride that contentions come. And I realized that if you are trying to struggle about something or there's an issue with someone, just decide to be the humble one. Just let it go. Otherwise you'll be proud. It's just makes you proud just contending with the thing or the person. OK, your question answered. Oh, you are still not. Does anybody else say anything? Something else about pride? Pride or something else? Pride. Uh huh. Yes. My pastor told us a story about like if there is a man who is very rich and he can give you everything you want and you go to him to ask him like to give you money for transportation. Then he gives you his car and she take it. He just asked for money for transportation, but he just said take his car. And he asked us that if it were you, would you go back to that man and ask him for something else. Then we all say Oh no, no, it's like we are worrying him. And he said that if you start looking at yourself, that and if I go to you, you see me like a beggar Media always I'm coming to him for something. Then it means that you're proud because you're seeing yourself. I'm something. So it's like it's like when you're in the church also and maybe your leader talks you rudely and you got offended, feel like, oh, I'm somebody you should also. OK, Father. I think we are all proud. I don't think there's anybody here who's not proud. Their levels are different, but they are all proud. So let's accept that you are a proud person and then. Yeah. OK, a question. OK, a hand was here then. Thank you very much, Opie. Yeah, Opie, I wanted to know from the Scripture we read in the next verse, he says that remember the winds thou had fallen and repent. So I wanted to know that if you lose your first love, is it recoverable? And if you lose your if you realize that you have lost your first love, is it recoverable? And if it is, how can it be recovered? I I think you you, it's recoverable yes, That's why it says that return, isn't it your first love? So they say, as Bishop mentioned it isn't it that's the food is being cooked and it's not ready. So let's finish, let's wait till the end, I'm sure. But yes, I believe that the food I have, we are now pounding the fuso, so don't drink the soup weights for them. All right, William. Thank you everybody. Please I want to know about the missionaries, how they are going about like they go, Bishop says. I sent some here, I sent. Did they go to Seek 4 foundation themselves or like the process? I want to know how it goes about. I don't know. I don't know much about how how they're going and they're staying. How they go where they stay. Nothing is too extreme. OK, so when you get there, you just, you just go. It's powerful, isn't it? You see, you started to show signs of the uh huh, Yes. Another question. What's your name? Yeah, I want we read the First Corinthians 313 with my Bible is King James. He says that charity, but when Wisher was speaking he mentioned that we can suck our things and care for the poor without being charity. So with this, I don't know that can I not laugh somewhere about I will be able to sell my things to care for the patient. It's like with the face Corinthians 13, it seems that is the laugh. Bush was saying that that's the best three. It says that we can sell our things and give it, give them to the poor without. Yes. And what I'm saying is that how can I care for someone? How can I say my things and care for someone without being lie? Because it is the lie. Yeah. I don't, I don't get up. You are asking that how can you sell all those things if you don't have lab? No, what? What I think no, no. Then you are not understanding the scripture correctly because it's saying that if you sell all your things and you give it to the poor and you don't have love, it will profit you nothing. That good thing that you did to be useless. And so he's saying that because you have love, that's why they are doing it. Please, people, Yeah, maybe you found out you're about to die, so you just saw your fence and there could be so many reasons, So many reasons. Cecil. OK, Any other questions? Any other questions? OK, Hannah. Yes, that's. Not a question is this that today I, I mentioned some, somebody's name and the person was like, oh, really? That person around? I would really love to meet that person. And I think most of us here don't know most of the pastors around and most of the bishops around. So I'll be grateful if they would just say hello to us. I will see them and we'll know that this is this and that is. That the the the burden of closeness is on the pursuant. So if you want to know any pasta around that you is your problem. It's not, it's not. It's not that problem. Pardon. So you've asked to know. So pursue. OK, my brother over there. No. Oh, you need to pass through some. Yes, you can come. You can come full time after school, right? When you come, whatever it's training, if it's whatever, whatever it is you do. If it's security with memorization of scriptures, you do so you can come right after. Pardon. Yeah. OK. Yes, please. Quickly. OK. Yes, please. And you what if you don't obey your calling and you die? Is that what I think? God, God. God would God would decide? I don't. I can't. I don't know. I don't know what you've done or your. I can't answer your question. That's one. You have to die first before we can answer. But you can go to hell because it's possible. It's all possible. Yes. My sister had the back. If you borrow money, should you pay tithe of it? I don't know. I don't know the answer to that question. Pasha. Pasha has the answer. OK, please. I think the answer is yes, because whether you. Borrowed it or not, you use. It and at the end of the you pay back. It's also you find it yourself. So the answer is yes, I think so. OK, history. But the Prince has said it. What are the scriptures saying you have to pay a tenth of your increase? So it is an increase or it's not an increase? Or if I don't have anything and then somebody gives me something, is it not an increase? Borrow to be on the safe side. Just pay the time. 10% should not do anything. I don't, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I think I would if I, if you don't know, it's better to do what's so that you'll be on the safe side. What do you think? So go and pay a 10th of that money that you have borrowed. Yeah, Jacob. Listen, I want to find out if your love develop, let's say develop, if you became a Christian and then you loved God, but as time goes on you became stronger and stronger, where will you say your first love started from? Yes, like you become a Christian and then you love God, but as time goes on, your love for God became stronger and stronger. So it develops at every point time. So like, what will you say your first laugh started from started from then when it became strong or when when it became strong or Yeah, or when it initially started? Yeah, I think I understand. This. Do you have an answer? To that, I, I, I think Bishop explained when he started what he means by first love, that a first love is not one out of five, like a list like 123. And then the first one is the first love. That's not what Bishop is talking about. What he's talking about is the love that you have when you are young. So as you have given your love, the Lord, you are young. So that is from that time onwards it's all first love. It's not like the first one, the second one, the third one, but it's the one that you have when you're young for the Lord, and that's the first love. And that's how Bishop explained first love. But. I think do you understand it? Are you OK? But you're still not OK? No. So you, you, you are carrying and moving on with the first love. This is so like Bishop started his first love long time ago and he still has his first lab. Isn't it 20 years, 30 years? You are still in the first lab. You don't lose it. It's even becoming more stronger and better. So is that OK? OK. I'm just going to say that and the scripture says that you should return to your first lab. So I think that the first lab has to do with you losing a certain level of love and then going back. It doesn't necessarily what you're describing is more like you become born again and you love God, keep loving God and love keeps increasing. So I don't think that it's the first love with that. I mean, the whole thing is it's the first life like you're saying, I don't know if you understand because of the word return. So it's like you've lost something, so go for it. So. OK. It's powerful. Yeah, Yes. Bringing him more. Things like he's doing more for God, so the first. One is the. 1st. Love, but it's. Just that he's adding other ingredients so that God. Will be. Like he's really loving the more he's finding. That when he's loving him more, Right, The song we sang. And the more I seek you, The more I find it. The more I find you, The more I love you. So it grows. It grow. It can grow or it can decrease. So it's powerful, Yeah. Please, Bishop said something that maybe when you enter into a relationship with time, you you realize that the the activities that you engage in at the initial stage of the relationship, it's like you cannot do them anymore. So if you compare that one with the work of the ministry, doesn't mean that. When you become a minister, it can happen that with time you can lose what you did then. If so, does it mean that when you grow old it means that you are going to lose the relationship that you had with God at the initial stage? Right, you want to answer his question. Oh, but yes, that's why you also want to. Let's just answer that one. Yeah. Did you get that question? OK, I think you should ask it again. What I was saying is that, Bishop said. When you enter into a relationship with time, you can see that you will lose certain things that you did at the initial stage when you entered into the relationship, maybe due to familiarity or any other thing. Then when you compare that with the work of the ministry, maybe when you became a full time minister, you you did certain things like your zoo for God was high. But doesn't mean that when you compare it with the human relationship, doesn't mean that you can also lose the relationship, that close relationship that you had with God when you first of all became a full time minister. Pardon. OK, That means that sometimes I know that the love may exist, but as Bishop said, that he still loves his wife, but it's like there are certain things that he doesn't do as he used to. So I guess I know that the love will will exist, but I just want to know whether there are certain things that you wouldn't do with God as you did at the initiative. I think that that's why it's the love that we have when we are young because naturally at a point if you can't walk like Bishop was showing us, maybe a time will come when we come for comes. It will not be like this, you know, because at a point if you are old, you can't do the grasshopper becomes a bedding. So you cannot do certain things that you you cannot do certain things. So I think that is simple. Or does it answer your question he's asking and what to hear? What would be the? Relationship. Between you and God. What would be the relationship between you and God? Yes. I think that's if you can't work, God will not expect you to go and to do certain things because you can't or you can't even speak or I don't know. I mean the grasshopper has become a bedding. So do it before that time comes. When that time comes, then you you relax. Oh, that's it, yes. I want to react to my brother's question. He believes that. He believes that if if you love, you will give. That's what he believes. So he wants to know why you are giving by the Bible saying and you don't have love. It is nothing, but what I what I think is that it is not all that you do. That is that comes from your heart and that is coming from a heart of love. So Bishop even explained that even some of his passes or some, some of his passes may come around not because they love him, but because they want to, they want to show that they want to show their presence. They want to sign in and then later sign out, not because they love Bishop. So I think that if you do anything that is not coming from your heart, but you want others to see that you too, if they do their thing, then I think it's not out of love. It's a reaction. Please, patience. No more reactions. Let's yes, my brother there. Please, some of us. Feelings. I think it doesn't matter where you're coming from. We are all coming from somewhere. You think I'm coming from somewhere, but me too, I'm coming from somewhere. Well, you know, where I'm coming from may even be harder than where you are coming from. So don't blame it on where you're coming from, but rather on yourself. So maybe you are. Maybe you need to be a little more flexible. Maybe you are too analytical. Some people, they are looking for a feeling. They are trying to as people are crying, it's like what? What is it I'm waiting for? And you may not get it like that. Maybe you are looking for something certain specific sign or certain feeling of electricity or before you know that you are feeling something but you are feeling it. What you are feeling is also a feeling. You see, you may not cry or anything, but yeah, it's also supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I cannot say it backwards. Amen. So is that, are you OK? Does that answer your question? So don't, don't be spooky, don't look for maybe you also want to cry. If you want to cry, just cry. I mean, there's no shame at all. All right, Any more questions? If that's what you want, you want, you can also pray about it. Maybe you want to cry and you know you can pray. If it doesn't work, you can try and rub in your eyes. Don't want to. OK LP, I want to know if. Ladies are given the. Opportunity to come into full time after school. Me. OK, so that answers the question, isn't it? And I came full time right after school. So the answer is yes, if ladies are given opportunities to come full time after school, yes, If that door is open, you will be given the opportunity. Yes. They gone. Yeah, they have several ladies on mission because don't you know, ladies on mission first? Or you mean like you finish school as a lady you want you want to go on missions alone? No. No, no. You cannot send me. Yes. Pardon. Explain why? Because you say you want to love God. We are going to start a church when you get there. Nice sister. You may go and see Big Bobo, Johnny Bravo, Ricky Z jumping Jonathan, and then before you realize your mind and your heart has changed. The sisters too. Sometimes we are in some way. The moment we see those khakis and that deep voice and that sharpshooter straight guy, then you begin to lose there initial calling. Do you see or Yeah, or the big bubble that you've left here to say is that I I don't want to I don't want to go there if you have a beloved hair or something. He says no, I I want you to come back. So then what happens to that church? You've started so many things. Your life is tied to the man. Have you seen? Yeah, your life is tied to the head, so you have to follow the head, not the head following the body. So send message unless you want to be a nun. Please, I, I believe that everyone is called for full time. I mean, I believe that everyone has a calling. And if you want to go for full time ministry, do you need to have a calling for that particular ministry or you just need to decide that you want to go for full time ministry? I mean full time ministry you need. So do you need to have a calling for full time ministry or just need to There's a calling. So, so far there's a calling. They're coming full time. Yeah, OK. Yeah, Yeah, yeah. I think, oh, you're not do the same thing or another question. You want to react, OK, you've already asked a question. Let's give an opportunity. Somebody else who has not asked a question. Somebody else I have. Help me if I want to know if is it. Is it possible? That maybe you've gone for mission, somebody has gone for mission, you've given up everything. Here like your. Family, everything you've gone for mission. And. It's still possible that you have not really given. Your life because. Bishop said that God requires blood and then blood is life. So when you give your life, it's like you are giving a blood sacrifice. So it's impossible that somebody who has gone for me, you have. Finished school. When you said that. I don't. Care what happens anymore, I'm going for missions. That is. Still, there's something you have, not you have. Not given. Your life fully you. Know your Isaac. I know your Isaac so. Yeah, maybe you are in Ghana and then you've gone on missions to let's say Kenya because you have a mind as you are going in my House of UN job there. So even though you've gone, it's like I've left my family. Everything is gone at the back of your mind only you are the only one who knows that you've actually given God actually in fact not proper vector. The ones with holes in them kicking best. I have black holes and tests but not the blood sacrifice. Because as you are going up the mind or maybe you have an uncle somewhere in Nairobi who has prompts if you come you can get some UN job. That's why you say you are going on missions and it's like you are living your family but actually you are not living any family because you are going because of prospects of a UN job. So in natural sense you are not giving your life, you're actually going there to gain your life. I don't know if you understand. So at the end of the day, that thing depends on you, the person who is going, you know, you know it yourself, whether what you are doing, it's a real life you are giving or vegetables that you are trying to control me, which is poor, you're trying to give to God.
