17. 12 Reasons Why Judas Came Into The World 1

Welcome to track #17 of the Privilege. Hallelujah. Now sit down for a moment. Tell somebody it's a privilege. I said it's a privilege. Amen. Now I'm going to, we're going to go through something very quickly, the last part of the camp that before we do that, I want us to how many are going to become good preachers? Wow. In fact, we are enjoying the camp in Kenya more than South Africa because hey. Now I want to give you 1212 reasons why you must take shepherding to the highest level. How many want to take shepherding to the highest level possible? Amen. But before we do that, I want to share with you 12 reasons why Judas came into the world. Amen #1 because it must needs be that offenses come. Matthew chapter 18, verse 7. Amen in Matthew 18, verse 7. All right, Jesus Christ said it is necessary that there will be offenses, Amen. Temptations and stumbling blocks, Amen. All right. And one of the temptations and the testings that we are all going to have to deal with is the temptation that comes from a Judas. And you're going to have that same problem in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda. There are always going to be Judas or disloyal people who are in varying sizes. Amen. Like if you take the wild animals that we have here, you know, which we have been enjoying. We have the same thing basically, but in different ways. We have animal animal that wants to eat meat and wants to eat blood. And it starts from The Lion King, the leopard, tigers, cheetahs, hyenas, wild dogs, leopards, jackals, foxes, all of them want to eat meat and they are all meat eating animals in different shapes, forms and sizes. The highest you can meet is the lion who does not respect anybody and does not retreat from anything, doesn't back down. Now, this is the same thing that we have with disloyal people. We have them in different forms. Sometimes you have a small size. But you see, if you've not studied wildlife, you will not know that all these animals, in one way or the other, eat meat. They eat them palace, they eat the robots, they eat the antelopes, they eat the wildebeest, the kudos, all of them. They want to eat meat and they don't eat each other. They want to eat another animal that is eating grass because the meat tastes different. Your meat is different when you eat grass. Do you understand Your meat is different? When you eat meat is different. We have when you cut meat, you have it in different colors. And lamb and goat are red and cow the meat is red color red, but crocodile, the meat is white. Do you understand? Yes, I've eaten the crocodile before and the meat is white and the meat is different. Every meat is different. So they want something that contains blood. But the different types of animals are all from the small dogs, which will follow a deer or an Impala. Big toll like this. They will chase it, about 15 of them, for kilometers. It will be running as soon as it is tired and it slows down and they'll bite the leg, bite the leg, whatever it will run, they'll bite the leg, bite the leg, pull it out. Soon as it's down. They can take on a big animal. And the way they take it is by running. Their gift is running everybody and his gifts, and their gift is running Lions. They cannot run, but their dog they can run, and so they will run with you. Are you listening to me? So we have this loyal people in all shapes, forms and fashions. Some can run, some are big, some you don't want to meet. Some are so insidious that they are able to stay with you for a long time, but the Bible says that it must needs be that offenses come, but war to the person through whom they come. Now it is necessary for a pastor or a shepherd to overcome as one of the tests that you are going to go through to overcome the idea of disloyalty. It's something you have to learn and if you don't learn how to overcome it or learn how to detect it or learn how to understand it, you can never be a Good Shepherd because a shepherd is just a leader. If you become a head of state, you must know how to overcome disloyalty. You must detect disloyalty and that is why the very when you are a leader and you are easily overthrown, you are not a good leader. You may have a lot of good ideals, lofty ideals and things you want to do for us, but the Bible says a king against whom there is no uprising, it's a wonderful thing to behold. You must be a king against whom there cannot be any successful uprising. No one can successfully uprise. It may be in the hearts of the people, it may come up from time to time, but they are not successful. So in Ghana, for instance, we had several kings and presidents, but from the web goal, there were successful uprisings against them. Our first president, second one, third one, all of them, they keep up rise rising up against them and overthrowing them until we had President Rawlings, who against whom there was no successful uprising until he himself handed over the power, said that he had take it, I'm going. And, and so he probably did garner more of the good that he intended to do because every person has some good and some bad that he has to offer. And you, you will not get a chance to do the good things that you intend to do if you cannot stabilize the environment. As I preach and I'm trying to raise money, trying to do the work of God, there are always people who are not happy with what I'm doing. You never, should never be deceived. No matter how glorious something looks, there are always enemies of that thing. There are people who dislike the person intensely and hope and pray for the person's downfall constantly. You have to be able to lead and be strong, which is one of the things I've been emphasizing at this camp. And you must be able to quench Judas's uprisings. Assassins, hired assassins, rebels, destroyer, treacherous anarchist and anarchist is somebody who fights against the government and you must be able to to to fight against these things. That is why one of the reasons why most of the African heads of states who've stayed for a long time have filled the army in the top positions with their relatives and their tribesmen. If you go to Togo, you'll find that when President Yadima was there, he was the best that old president is there for a long time. His son was the head of the bank, son was the head general army. Everybody was an Yadima head of this head of this head of this head of this head of that, so as to stabilize the place so that he can stay there and do whatever. So if people who are doing bad things are able to stabilize their system so that they can be there, then you who are doing something good, you must also learn how to stabilize by oh, unfortunately, people who are doing good things often think that it is evil to try to stabilize the system. So they don't, they don't take it seriously. But you can't, you can't be a good head of state without taking things serious, some of these things seriously. That is why today all the modern current government take security very seriously. If I was the head of state, I will invest heavily in helicopters, crab fighters, bombers. I will invest in Spice. I'll have a lot of Spice security system, cameras. Hey, you can't easily be in the country and just be going around and be complaining. Same things. I will investigate because I know that there are wicked people if they get the chance. You will be there signing things to develop the whole country beautifully. You will never finish it, true. So as part of your arsenal of activities you understand and weapons, you need to include the weapons that fight against disloyalty in whether it's the thumb of dogs or foxes or jackals or wolves or leopards or lions. Whatever it is that want to eat your meat and your blood in, whether it is starting from your own wife to your person who is working for you or anybody around you must watch and you must have a mind which is mean. You see, there is a wicked part of all of us and that wicked. If you are looking for a place to manifest wickedness, you must manifest it towards disloyalty. Because Anna, you have become a Christian. You can only be kind. You have to get some occasional outlets for your wickedness and that outlet, you have to find disloyalty. And then you, you don't have to be kind, I'm telling you. And that is why you have to study the science of disloyalty. Amen. But I'm saying that all these things have to come about because the more you can overcome it, the higher you will go. In which I didn't say Jesus said it must needs be #2 to fulfill your destiny. These people must exist because they help to guide you towards your eventual victory. Judas made is the one who contributed most to Jesus going to the cross. Yes, Judas contributed most to Jesus Christ so that the number 2 is that they help you to fulfill your destiny. Disloyal people. Judas Iscariot helped Jesus Christ to fulfill his destiny. Amen. Judas help Jesus now. Did Peter help Jesus to go to the cross? What did Peter do? He was fighting against him. Amen. He said you are not going to go. So when I look in my life, anytime I have somebody who is disloyal or rebellious, the person has always helped me to become a better pastor. I never forget what they tell me. No, I've never. I don't forget if you, if you criticize me, I always remember it. I always, it always helps me. If you criticize me, if you say something bad about it has guided me. That's why sometimes there's something, I'm very tense about it because I remember what some people have told me before. It has guided me. The books that I've written are full of the stories of these characters that I have met that have helped me to become who I am. People invite me all over the world because I met them. If I had not met them, I couldn't give the examples and I wouldn't have authority to preach about some of these things because the authority that I have comes from what I have suffered and survived. Somebody has written a letter. Somebody has written a letter to me and told me that somebody that I help you to get married, I give you food. I keep you in mind as my guest. I look after you. Then you later you write to me and tell me that I'm a cult leader. You see, has it happened to you before? But it's happened to me. It helped me to be a good a better person and also to assess myself whether how much of A cult leader I am. So that in case there are in because sometimes there are truth in some of these things. So I have to assess myself and clean my soul because you, you, you are not, you're not perfect, you understand. So it has also helped me to perfect. So that's another one. It helps you to perfect helps you to fulfill your decimal. It also helps to perfect you go. Anytime you hear something criticism, somebody saying something bad, you can just discard it. But usually there's some maybe even if it's 2%, there's something true about it. Almost everybody who has left my church has made me has helped me to not let somebody else leave by something that I did. When I saw the person doing something, I said, no, this what this person did and I did this and I made a mistake. So I'm going to do this this time. And it always helped me. There are people who have left the chat. I didn't handle it well or I could have handled it better. So I'm, I'm learning, I learnt and it really, really helped me. So it it helps to perfect you, you understand. That's the third reason and the the fourth reason, the final reason. 4 is also one of the good numbers, because in in the creation, you know, of what God made everything, many things were in four, The Four Seasons, the four corners of the earth, the four winds, and so on. 4 is one of these type of numbers of creative created things, Amen. So, and this newly created series of why Judas came into the earth #4 is that so that Scripture may be fulfilled. There are certain things that are written. It has to happen, Amen. It has to happen and it happened. It happened to Jesus, it was fulfilled. It says my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. Amen. So ladies and gentlemen, if Jesus, the Bible says that you are not greater than your master, if this happened to your master, it will happen to you. So the higher you go in the ministry, you will meet all these different types of Orangus rebels, mattress killers, destroyers, liars, people who write anonymous letters and people who write letters which they signed, people who write letters in groups, a group, or write a letter to you as a group. That's kora, kora. They came as a group outside the prominent ones and they came to Moses and they told me you exalt yourself. Who are you? Are you the only one God is using? You have made yourself too beg. You are proud and Moses said I've not taken one donkey from them. It really hurt him. But you see as you grow, one day you see a group has formed within the people that you are leading and they've come together. Then you also have Anonymous Anonymous, where they write you anonymous letters, insidious serpents striking at you from the darkness, but will not identify themselves as who they are and what they intend to do. They are all part of the experience. So scripture must be fulfilled. So each scripture must be fulfilled. Each. It follows that there will be Judas in Uganda, there will be Judas in Kenya church, there will be Judas in Tanzania church. So who is it going to be? Shabbaya Tayo? Never. May it never be you in the name of Jesus. Come on, shake it off your head. If you are in this camp, it must not be you to the leopard. Give it to the leopard and go give it to the resident leopard. Yesterday when I went to that hotel, we were also informed that there is a resident Python in our and it comes to drink water from the kitchen area from that place that's been coming there. And then we were also told by 4 different people that the we rather are the ones that have a resident leopard. In fact, this month someone told me it's not that. I've seen it before. Cross here. Yeah, it comes this morning. He showed me where he saw it. He said I saw the joke. I've seen it here. You have a resident elephant. It's going higher now. Hallelujah, are you excited? Amen. Now you must expect As for any serious leader must expect uprising. In Acts chapter 20, verse 29, Apostle Paul said after my departing grievous wolves shall enter grievous wolves. Grievous wolf is another terminology for disloyalty and disloyal people, grievous wolves. I saw grievous wolves in Zurich. We have built the church. We have just come to scatter and bite grievous wolves and scatter the church, bite the people, make them bleed, kill some of them and then you go away. Confuse them and then you leave the church and you go away. Grievous wolves. And that's all. Scatter, destroy and you leave. You leave. Pain, blood, confusion and you go away. That's all. The flock is stamped. Let's see. That's a description of disloyalty. Grievous wolves. Anytime you get a film to watch about wolves. I have a film. I'm not yet What is about wolves. I'm now going to study wolves because it's the description of this destroyer person, Zimbo. Now are you going to be the one? Ask three people, will it be you? The Lord will bless someone today. The Lord will bless. Someone today, the Lord will bless someone today. The Lord will bless someone today. It may be you, it may be me, it may be someone by your side. It may be you, it may be me, it may be someone by your side. Oh, the Lord will bless someone today. The Lord will bless someone today. Oh, the Lord will bless someone today. The Lord of bless someone. It's maybe you, it's maybe me. It's maybe someone by your side. It's maybe you. It's maybe me. It's maybe someone by your. The Lord of bless someone. The Lord of Bless someone, play the Lord O bless someone. Or will there be you? It may be me, it may be someone by your side. It may be you, it may be me, it may be someone by your side. Oh, the Lord, O bless someone today, The Lord O bless someone today, or the Lord O bless that one. It's that song, I tell you. It's a powerful song. It's not a song. It's a powerful song. Instead of becoming an orango, the Lord will rather bless someone today. May you never be the destroyer wolf in the church. In the name of Jesus, never tell your friend. Never, never, never, never never in Jesus name. Now why did Judas betray Christ number one? The first reason was Judas was the odd one out. The Bible says that all the disciples were from Galilee. Jesus was from Galilee. Galilee is like 200 kilometers from Jerusalem, so all the disciples were from that end. But Judas was from a place called Karyov, all right? So he was the odd one out. Anytime you are an odd one out, you need to be careful. Amen. Are you there? You need to be careful. Maybe you are the only pointy. Hey, as a .5, there are many times I could have been so offended because you see people who talk to me, they would say, oh, disappointed European. That's how they call us in that disappointed is like somebody who was becoming a European but he couldn't get there. He was disappointed. Oh, half caste is like you are half of something .5 I've come to hear that one to hear they'll call me red. Hey red come red. Obroni PETA, what is that? Which means what? A white vulture. These are the names that have been called. I've been an odd one out for years. I've been an odd one out in fact. That is even what made me one of the things that made me draw towards Christ in the Church. How many point fives are there here today? EBO, come, let's form a .5 association. Even you, you are mean .9 come. Is there any at that .5 here are you .5 Not necessarily are you .5 Come, come. Wow, you are going to be my secretary. You are not a .5. Well when you return to your seat point, I mean I don't know where you got the color from. You are also point 5.5 of where and where. Lebanese. Ghanaian. Half Lebanese, half Ghanaian, .5 Lebanon, .5 Ghana and .5 Ghana, .5 Switzerland, any other .5 here. Come and take pictures please. Yeah, hold me properly and then let's take a picture. Yeah? The Lord will bless someone today. The Lord will. Bless someone today. Those are not. My East African Secretary of the Association of .5, you are blessed, You are blessed. Hey, do you see that the two of us are the odd one out here, We are the odd ones out here. We are the odd ones out, so you see. But even though we are odd, run out, we are trying to be faithful because on the way you have the odd and somebody speak a language. You realize that you are the only one who doesn't speak that language. You are the only one who doesn't understand this. There are the only one who does. They will say something. They say that you don't understand it. Oh, when I first married my wife, she took me to her hometown. Everywhere we go then they'll be asking Otte Fanta, Otte Fanta. Which means that does he, does he speak fancy? At the point I felt like a wild animal that they were taking all around that the wild animal eat meat. Does he eat meat? Does he Otte Fanta? Otte Fanta. At the point I grew as I don't speak fancy and I have no apologies. I'm not from here. Why are you forcing me? Otte Fanta. Otter Fanta. Otte otte. Does he hear Fanti? Fanti is the language, but Fanta, they like slang. India Otter Fanta. Oh yeah, Broni. Oh yeah, Broni means oh, he's a white man. Even you saw, you saw on the film, on the film yesterday as am IA Blue Man. Am IA red man. They said you are a banjee, which means that I'm a white man. So I'm in Canada, they see me as a white man but I'm not going to leave the church even though I'm or I'm still have some special functions. That special thing that got us. But that's why I decided to come have a camp where the animals you are here, you haven't seen these animals before, you wouldn't come here. Most 1.0 So they are not interested in animals. Kana girls are not interested, they are just feeling cold. They want to sleep. When do their hair go shopping, when buy dresses. Is it not true or it's true or it's not true? Kenya girls I don't know how Kenya girls are KGS Tanzania girls shopping, doing your hair, staying in the house. TGS What's that? TGS shoes, bags, Nigerian films. I mean, when have you seen Kenya girl, Tanzanian girls, Ghana girls that Georgia goes, we are going to look for leopards and we are going to look for who? What are you talking about? What am I afraid? Hey, this, this, this, this one is one of the Ghana girls. You should have said she's afraid Ghana girls. But because of the small .5 that is in me, I say I want to see some of the lions if you don't bring me. That's why South Africa have been going for camp for many years. I've not seen even a squirrel before. I said that. I'm coming to the camp in Kenya. It's gonna. We're having a camp. It may be. You. It may be me, it may be someone by your side, it may be you, it may be me. It may be someone by. Your side. Sit down. Hey. So don't, don't, don't decide to be Judas Iscariot just because you are an odd one out. I've been a member of this same church for more than 20 years. I've never left whatever. I've always been off. They will speak Plank. They will speak three. I don't understand. They'll speak guy. I don't understand. Anyway. I don't understand. Don't speak all the law. I don't understand. Now the odd one out. But even if you are an odd one out, don't allow it to minister. Hatred or bitter. Don't allow Satan to put something in your head. I'm telling you otherwise you will miss your, your, your, your, your destiny. Because sometimes your destiny is connected to Joseph's destiny. Was connected to Egyptians. Yeah. He was supposed to marry Egyptian. He married an Egyptian girl. He gave birth to Manasseh and Ephraim, they are Egyptians. He married an Egyptian, never got any Israeli to marry. He became Prime Minister in Egypt. He will never become Prime Minister in his own country. There are some things you can never do amongst half cars in Ghana. Unless I want to be the president of Half Cars Association. Womanizing, chasing girls, following, drunking, drinking, riding motorcycles, going to disco. This is what I want to be a chairman of. I cannot get a .5 a lot of point fives to be in church. So if I want to just find .5, I have to find a disco nightclub and other places and I will see all my type. They are there, they are not in the church. So sometimes your destiny is connected with that other group that is different from you. And so when you when you play the fool and you just use tribal national color and all those odd one outing, I'm not educated. All of them have been to invest have not been to invest. When you start to allow those things to enter your head, I'm telling you before you realize you have become the Satan in the church, whereas you could have become the special person in the church. Look at me, I've become a special person in the church and, and my, my and my, my ministry has the flavor of the .5 that I am. Yeah. And I'm not ashamed of it. I don't have apologies for being a .5. I don't have apologies. I've been all run out for years and years and years and years. That's why when I'm in a cry, tell my people, anybody who misbehave toward foreigners and I do, I don't, I don't believe in speaking language. I've I've always been there to speak a language I don't understand. I don't accept it. We are in a car, then you speak a language, you say something I don't accept. I don't know whether you are insulting me and I don't accept anybody. Even since I've been on this trip, somebody reported one of my people to me that the person was speaking in a Ghanaian language when they were in a car. I said it's wrong. No matter what you are saying, don't do that. It is wrong. It's unacceptable. We are only speaking a language that we all understand. When you are at a place everyone and then you can say that language. You know why I can say this? Because I've been a .5 odd one out for years. I've been odd one out for years. Look, when I wanted to marry my wife, you see my wife has a sister who is fair like me. So I when I went to visit them, at first I went to the house. The father hey the man is wild, he didn't want to see any sight. So he thought I was after the fair collect one when I went there. So when I remember one day I went to the house. When I went to house he said so that he called the doctor after they are there he calls a camp to the car. He got in the car spark the car took her out and I was sitting in the empty house without the person. The man is a wild man, but not knowing I was after the other one. Hey Dalago, bless someone to live. Dalago, bless someone to live. Bless someone to live. It may be you. It may be someone by your side, it may be you it. May be someone by your side. Sit down. Do not accept the devils and messages to your thoughts to your head. Like long time ago I would have, I would have even left the church. I would have I would have left all the people that are my my friends. My when I was growing up, all my friends were point fives. Why? Because when you grow up, your friends become your mother's friends. My mother's friends were Germans, Austrians and other Polish Romanian who had married Ghanaians. All their children were my color. My best friend was half Dutch and half Swiss. Yeah, half that, half Swiss. I hear he's a pilot now, Point .5 of some other place. But his father was an architect in Ghana. There are several tall buildings in Ghana. He designed them .5. My best friend recently died. Oh no, my best friend was one of my good friends. He recently died. His mother is from Austria, his father is from Ghana. I've gone horse riding with him, I've played with him, I bathed with him, I slept in the same house. He would come to my house and go, Oh, my friends were .5. When God called me to my real destiny, it did not involve it involved becoming an odd one out in a group. If I want to reject it, then I'm rejecting not just some kind of social group, but I'm actually rejecting my calling and my destiny and my future, my income, my salary, my job, my everything in my car. I'm rejecting it and say I don't want all that God has for me because I don't want to be an odd one out and I don't want to accept that there are some people that God may call and say you, you, you. Although you are from Kenya, you will be with Ghanaians. Although you are from Nigeria, your your group will be from Ghana. Although you are from Tanzania, your group will be Kenyans. Although you are from here, your group will come across the Obies, not from Kenya. You see this Tamale where we had a crusade, Our pastor there is not from the pastor we've had for many years. He's from the South. He doesn't speak any that language. He's been up there building church. We are currently building about 100 Czech buildings and he went to stay with a group that is North East. An odd one out there, but God can use an odd one. Now. God called Judas and God gave him not just an ordinary discipleship job, but become a finance minister. Special. He is one of the few who have a special function. And you, you used to odd one out to, to, to, to, to live. May that never be your story in the name of Jesus. That's the first reason why Judas left. Betrayed Jesus, Amen #2 because Judas was disappointed at the type of training that he was getting. Amen. What they were doing to him. Today he was an usher tomorrow. Today he was an usher, tomorrow he was a waiter. Distributing food. Next time he was an errand boy, that was the Jesus and the disciples. Next time he was a scavenger. He was. He found it humiliating and degrading. One day I had a church member. He was in the church. I said, shall we lift up our hands, worship the Lord Shabalaba, sit down. Shall we stand up and give the Lord to you? Maybe he was annoyed. He said, are we are we in kindergarten? Stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down. Why he left the church. Some people even found find it humiliating to stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down. Do this, you see, if you are not humble and you can easily go to hell, because I don't know whether that guy will go to heaven or hell, because pride, it's a very dangerous thing. So don't be proud #3 Judas was disappointed because there was poor accommodation, no housing facilities. The Bible says in Luke Chapter 9 verse 58, the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head. And in Mark 14, I was in Bethany, He went to the House of Simon the leper. Jesus was staying in Leper's houses. Hey, a serious disease, contagious, and that is the house that Jesus was staying in. Hey, it can easily turn you against. Yeah, you have put me in a tent. I'm staying with a leopard. At my age, there's no hot water to bath. Look at where I am. Look at where he is. He is enjoying. Look at us. We are suffering down here. He's up there in that castle. That's how people talk. Anytime somebody is going to become a Judas, these are the things that are on their mind. Most destroyer people is about some financial issue. That is why if you want to be faithful many times you have to be a lay people. Some the lay person. Sometimes when you cross and become a full time person, that's when your disloyalty will come. Most disloyal people are full timers. Lay people are not usually disloyal. It is full time people who become because they're financial issues. If I take this one sitting here, I don't have any financial issues with that. Do I pay your salary? Have I bought this dress for you? Oh Napa, did I buy this dress? Did I buy this one for you? Did I buy this bag for you? Look at the bag. If she was in full time ministry and I have I have bought this bag. She maybe said look at the plastic bag that has been bought for me. Look at the plastic bag when the wife is carrying golden bags. Look at the plastic one that has been bought for me. It's newer. It's expensible. I know that it's an expensive bag, but it looks, it looks plastic. It looks plastic. Look at the a bag with just, I mean shapeless, no name, no design in the bag. Look at the bag. Look at the bag that the wife is using. Monkey the wet baboon the chop, the monkey is working and the baboon is eating it. You see so most disloyal pastors shepherd when money comes in. So sometimes some people when I look at them I say don't be full time. When you become full time you hate me. Your love relationship with me will tend to hate. You liked me before when you were late person, now it has tend to dislike and you think that I am the one pressing you down. Oh, you call your relatives and tell your relatives we are suffering here and they'll say hey, your Bishop, this living in mansions, hotels, this enjoying. You are a fool. They will tell you are a fool. You follow this guy. You know the money that his father had before he came. Your father doesn't have money. You are following such a person. Somebody told me when I was inviting the person to come and work in the ministry. She told me, Bishop, your father has money. The thing you are doing, your father has my our fathers don't have money, so we cannot come and follow you into this town. Our fathers don't have that kind of money. You are in the full time ministry because your father has money. Well, look at how somebody is thinking of. Meanwhile, I'm not using my father's money to do the ministry. My father told me, find your way. You are on your own. Do what you want to do. And there I was struggling. Yes, I struggled. I stayed in one room for three years. My father had a hotel with 15 rooms and I stayed in room 14 and I stayed there for three years and gave birth to two children and we were all in the house together. I had a chair with an automatic pilot under when you don't activate the pilot and you sit on it downstairs. Now going, it's true, I didn't have chess. I was using the old hotel chairs. I didn't have chairs when my when my wife was pregnant, the first time she was pregnant in 1990, I told her due to she said due to the crisis, you know you have already wanted to go abroad. Ghana girls like going abroad. I said you have already been liking to go go abroad and work and bring money. She went with the pregnancy. She went until the the day before she gave birth, the day before she was at work. She went working at a factory. Yeah, she was working at a factory. She worked and worked and went when I came, then she, she took all the money. See, I behaved like a lion. You know the, the, the female go to hunt, they get the food, then the male lion comes to eat it. So when I when she gave me all the money that she had earned and I took it and said very good and I put it in my, I used the money. The first thing I used the money for, I used the money to buy chairs. I used the man to buy chairs in 1990. Those chairs, I'm still using them in my sitting room today. Oh, yeah, Still, those are the same chairs. I'm using the chairs that I bought with my wife's mind that she weapons world. You should have seen her blocked and with a big stomach earning the money where she goes to where there's no sunshine, winter. We see her going, arranging cardboard box. I was a pastor. A lot of money. Otherwise, I see some pastors are struggling. Yeah. Why can you think that? We arrived in the world with a golden spoon and a golden whatever you think that we just got up and everything was just wonderful and we were just suddenly gliding with golden wings. But joking, there's a tournament and the World Cup, Africa Cup with tennis championship in your eyes. I don't have money. I didn't have enough money when I became a full time person and I knew that I would never travel abroad again. That's what today I'm I'm seeing, I'm seeing a lion, I'm seeing an elephant. I give glory to God. I said the Lord is my strength and the Lord is my son. He has become my salvation. He has deleted me. That is why I don't like songs where it is not about the Lord. When David said the Lord is my son, the song that I sings the Lord, these are the only song that I know because I know where the Lord has taken me. David said they have surrounded me. The King James said they have come past me about, they have come past me about like beasts. They have surrounded me, but they they pushed me over. The King James said that they trust me, that I might fall down, but the Lord delivered me. He has become my salvation. The Lord is my strength. The Lord is my song and He has become my salvation. I've been there. When I finish prison, I go home. There's no money to eat. And now you are tearing to a destroyer person because of some of these difficulties. That's why some of you should never be full time in the ministry. Remain the committee chairman for the rest of your life. Stay in the church, be an usher, be in the choir saying be nice, come give offerings, pay tithes that don't come so that you blame us for the kind of bag that you are holding that I'm buying plastic bag when the wife is buying bags from Singapore. I'm explaining why he said you have put me in a leper's house. Jesus. Jesus was staying with Simon the Leper, a place with sickness. This is why you have put accommodation. You have given to me. He spent his time on the lepers house. Have you ever even been there? These are some of the reasons why Judas. Judas analyzed it and said, look, this guy, if we follow because he is, he wants to die. We want to stay, we want to live and he seems that he wants to die. We are not ready to die now. #4 Jesus was disappointed at the poor transportation the car, the car is old, the car is getting spot, the car is breaking down and the Bible says and Jesus comes sitting on her ass. Now Jesus was riding and as others were working didn't say and all 12 disciples were on asses. The cast of those days were asses and I'm sure Jesus asked was a superior Mercedes ass, Mercedes ass, BMW ass. No one has sat on it but brand new when you are using home second hand air conditioned ass, bulletproof ass with airbags, ass with airbags. That's why I told you remain as a layperson, don't come and wherefore God let you complain about the ass like you don't have an ass and he has an ass and we don't have an ass or face like an ass. If you want a good ass, go and work for Zen, go and work for Safaricom, go and work for NTL, go and work for whatever. There are a lot of jobs. Go and find a good job there and be there. They will give you a good ass which no one has sat on before. But don't come to a church and start talking rubbish. Do you know where I got my car? When I was a student, my father was working for a company as a lawyer and and then one day I told my father, God prompted me, Sir, that you are not benefiting from your father's work. So I went and told my father that I want a car. I also want a car. He said, OK, I will tell them to bring a car. So he made them pay him with a car. And that's the car that I, I used the car for years, a small car, Renault 4:00-ish driving up and down. It's a trombone. It uses a trombone as gears. Have you seen that car before? Renault phone trombone. This is the car that I had. I didn't have any car from any church or from anybody. Then when the Lord wanted to lick me up, somebody gave me a car, a second hand Toyota Corolla. I've worked in the ministry for so many years, so many years before I saw the first time that I saw a new car and that car was a Toyota. The ass you have been giving has got problem with the carburetor. The ass you have been giving has problem with the brakes. When it is running and we are stopping, it is still going. Hey #5 Judas was not happy with the type of food that he was given to eat. Hey, since we came for the camp, 12 baskets of fragments, leftovers. People have finished eating their bread. Everybody has got one basket to take to the House of leftover bread. Fragment of fish. People have eaten the fish, they have loved the head, and they have got 27 fish heads or in the basket to go and share fish, ice fish head. Amena, the small one you are criticizing, look at Bishop, is eating big meat chicken. That's why I don't like to eat with everybody. When you are eating, they'll be looking in your plate. They say, hey, Bishop, you like chicken. Oh, Bishop, you like me too. You like me too. One day I made the mistake of going to eat with somebody. When I finish and I saw the person about two years later, the person was talking with me. It seems you are difficult, you are difficult with food. I said I am difficult, that's why I made the mistake of sitting in a restaurant to eat with you when I didn't know you. Now you tell me that today I'm difficult with food. You're math like difficult. Are you also not difficult with food? If I give you my Stew from Ghana with bath wings, do you know fry bath, flying bath with the wings, can you eat it? You are so difficult that we have plenty in Ghana. Do you know bat? You know bat? Do you know afflickity? Is it termite the one that fly? Do you eat it, you like it, it's good, OK, it's not good for me. Number six, Judas saw, began to see that Jesus will never give them much money, because everyday savings gather the fragments and we are going to eat that 112 basket. 4 one week everybody, one basket. Mercy #7 Judas did not like the way Jesus was being treated, specially everything. Jesus had something different. A woman came with that alabaster box and she came to pour the box of beautiful ointment on him. So why, why, why does he have all these special things? Why is somebody doing this for him? Why does he have that? Who does he? Who does he think he is? Why does he have a bodyguard? Why do you have this person doing this for him? Who does he think he is? Judas. They didn't like all those things. He asked a question when he saw that alabaster box, he said to what purpose is this waste? Well, what is going on and what was going? He came and asked what's going on here? What's going on here? I'm the financial controller here. What's going on with the problem? What's the wasting money wasting money on this man? Who is the man on this man? The room girls tell and she made her way to Jesus. She's tumbled through the tears that made her blight. She felt such pain. Some spoken anger. Her folks whispered, There's no place in here for your kind. Still on she came through the shame that flushed her face until at last she knelt before his feet. And though she spoke no words, everything she said was her as she pour the love for the monster from the box of alabaster. I've come to pour my praise on him like oil from Mary's. I love basketballs and don't be angry. If I washed his feet with my tears and tried them with my head, oh, 'cause you went there the night he found me, you did not feel what I felt when he rubbed his loving arms around me. And you don't know the cost of the Hoyer in my Alabastabo. I can't forget the way life used to be. I was a prisoner to the sins that had leave out. This message continues on the next track.
