Toilet is. It's not working and you come and fix it. Then immediately my bill. You're an electrician. You change the. Bob, then you, you, you. Charge us for changing the Bob. Everything. It's not nice, is it nice? It's not the right thing. Amen #4 #4 they do what? They do what they can be hired for any useless job because. They respond to money, isn't it? Come and play Organ for $50,000. And it is. It is sad. That most of the people who. Start who has well known singers started singing in the church? Huh. If they had sung for not for money, but when? When big money comes, Yeah. What do you think the next one is? What? They think that everybody else. Is a hireling, isn't it? Those are people, some that who cause problems, but they cannot imagine or see that somebody is honest. It's difficult when you are with such people. You know, they always think you are just like them. Whatever you are doing, you are doing it for this reason. Zimba limbo #6. Why? Vain and light, useless and light you are very. Light when you can be hired for money. To work for God. But I'll tell you something if you are working in a secular. World me so as people. You know. They say they are working. For Barclays Bank and then another bank comes for them and they say. Oh, I've been in Barclays. For so long. And then some people. For sentimental. Reasons they want to stay. And I asked them what are you working for? Is it not the money or? You are in love with. Barclays Bank Barclays Bank does not love. You and. If you want to know. You discover that they. Don't the day it is convenient or necessary. For you to go, you will go shop. All right, number what? 7 Spiritually, not deep. They are what? Light. Light #8 have I given you #8 #8 #8 is what money becomes the. God of A. Hireling money becomes the God. Of a hireling. Isaiah 46, verse 6. And hire a Goldsmith, and he maketh it a God, and they fall down. Yeah, they worship. Hilings can hire be hired to make even a God. Isaiah 40. 6. Money can make them do anything. You can hire a Goldsmith and he will make. A God for you. Mercy #9. Hireling pastors are good at. Becoming personal pastors of rich people, people who are personal pastors of. Rich people, you get it. They can be hired. To be. Personal pastors of. Rich people, are you there? Judges Chapter. 18 verse Judges Chapter 18 10 to Judges chapter 18. I want you to see the story of a Highland. And in those days. There was no king of Israel, that's one. And. In those days, the tribe. Of the Danites was seeking an inheritance, OK, for themselves to live in, for until that the inheritance had not been allotted to them as a possession among the tribes of Israel. So the sons of Dan verse 2 of that Judges chapter 18 sent from their family five men out of the whole number, valiant men from Zora to spy out the land, go search out the land. And they came to the Hill Country of Ephraim to the House of Micah, and they lodged there. And when they were near to the House of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young man, the young man, the Levite, and they turned aside and said to him. Who brought you here? Are you there? They saw a. Levite, what do you say? Priests, huh? Are you listening to me? They saw a liver who's a priest, and they asked him, hey, who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? And what do you have? Here. And he said. Thus, and so has. My card done to me and he has hired me and I have become his. Priests. Hello. Yeah, you see. This man and the story. Goes on but the. Point I'm trying to. Make is that he was. Even the wrong. Place and he had been had been rented, hired to become somebody's priests, and he was being. Paid to stay there and be a priest. You think that if you are the one who paid? Me, I can preach normally to you personally. You are paying me personally. Will I not be afraid when I'm preaching to you? Because if I offend you. No. No school fees for my children my. Message will change according to. What do you call it as I see you? I realize that you will be annoyed with me after church, you know. The Bible says hardly. Shall a rich man enter the Kingdom? If God has blessed. You then you are rich. Just learn to be ordinary. When I was praying here this morning, you know. It just occurred to me that when we are in the presence of God, nobody is important. No one should assume any level of importance which he doesn't have and. You should just blend in. You know. It is good to just be. Ordinary, no matter how much. God has blessed you. Amen. Because actually you are ordinary. Even if you become very rich, it's God who lifted. You from your simple ordinary circumstances. And gave you what you have. You get it. So it is. Good to just blend. Just be an ordinary person because you are an ordinary. Person, you are just a. Normal person you know, so blend in and be ordinary and flow. Don't talk. People don't have. To know what you have and how much you have all the time. What do you think? Yeah, I have some rich people in a church in Accra. They behave, you know. When you see them wearing. Shoes without socks? I think they, I think they don't know how to wear. Socks. It is interesting. You'll never know who they are. Amen. And I believe. That that is what God. Wants. He can. Bless you so much, but. You are just ordinary. You are a shepherd, you. Are a worker you are doing. Whatever you are doing it. Does not affect you. Amen. By many people who become rich. They want to now employ the pastor. You have to come to my house. Isn't it and? Bless my house. Speak personal prophecies to. Me. And and if a pastor comes to your house? That means you pray, Lord. Give him long life. Lord bless his business. Lord, give him more. Contracts, oh God, Jehovah, touch him. Let every sickness disappear from his life. We catch every enemy eye, all jealous people, wicked eyes that are lifted up. Against his survivor, we release him from every chain, every evil eye in the village that is speaking enchantment. Against his life we overturn it in the name of. Jesus. Lord. We pray for Mr. Big. Stuff. Hey, Lord. Give him peace on the. Right peace on the left, peace behind and peace. In front. Stabilize him. Oh God. Give him favour. Lord, we ask that you. Give him 100. Times what he has. Today, in the name of. Jesus. Now that we have discovered. Oil, oh Lord, give him. Shares in the oil after. Such a prayer would a. Would a rich man not give you a lot of money? One day I went somewhere. To a church pastor some. Not on a Sunday, but I was just. Passing by and then I wanted to pray. They asked me to pray. So I said, Father, forgive us. I don't know. I said forgive. Them or forgive us? I didn't say forgive. Them I said, forgive us for our sins and. I was just praying for. Mercy, when I finish praying, the person look up and. Say hey, we are sinners. He didn't understand my prayer. So after such an. Experience when I pray, Lord. Forgive. Do you think that if I'm praying for somebody? Else I will not be conscious that if I make the mistake of saying. Certain things, the people. Will also. Take it in another way. Yeah, I cannot even. Pray those prayers. Meanwhile, Mr. Bisa. Father, I pray concerning the girlfriends of this rich man. That are destroying. His life and his mind. We suck all of. Them in the Spirit. In the name of Jesus, hey, and for that, the whiskey and the vodka in this house, Lord, it is too much. Father, touch him so that he will be free. In the name of Jesus and for that, that. Demon of. Pride. That demon of we rebuke it in the name. Of Jesus come out. You think you can? Pray that prayer for your. Your personal rich man. The personal pastor of every personal rich. Man meanwhile. These are what the guy needs, the priest said. They asked what? Who are you? What? I said I'm a liver. What are you doing? Here they said I've been. Hired by. Micah, I am his priest. I'm his. Shepherd. I'm his pastor. He's paced me personally to be here. Because what they want. From the priest. Is just protection. Yeah. So let, let, let. No one be able to. Hire us. To sing. Ever me, I I. God blessed me when I was growing up, my father. Made me go for piano lessons, he told. Me. He he grew, he went to. School in in in Freetown. In Sierra Leone. And he wanted, he wanted to play the piano so much. And his guardians didn't. Pay just two shillings for. Him to have piano lessons so because of that. He wanted all. Of us to have the privilege of playing the piano. And when I grew up. I realized that it's. A privilege to play the piano that's it's a very, very great. Advantage if you have children. Make sure that all your. Children know how to play the parent. They know how to play in church, piano, guitar, this. Whatever, it's a very good. Thing to have, it keeps them in the church. Because it. Gives you something to do that when they don't know how to do any of those things, it's a disadvantage. So really that is a. Privilege. So. That one too. I'm coming. To charge. For it. It's a blessing if. You can sing. I mean, when Grace is singing, some of us know that we cannot sing what she's singing. Even I come and. Try even those who. Say that you are singers. Come and try it. That one is a gift and a grace. Are you going to charge? For that one too, huh? And that is one of the things that my. Father kept saying said that I wished just two shillings. And he would never pay for my guardian. In Sierra Leone, Freetown so. All these. Things are blessings and privileges. And we we do not have to. Charge God for them. Can I have an Amen? All right, so Highlands can be hired as personal. Pastors of rich people and what are the three duties? 3 mistakes of pastors. Who have been hired by. Rich people. As personal pastors #1 singing. Their praises to licking their. Bottoms and three prophesying. Only good things for their future. Singing their praise. Do you understand when I say licking their bottoms #10 hirelings can go against. The will of God because of money. A hireling. OK. Can fight God himself because of money. Have you got that, Nehemiah? Let's turn to Nehemiah chapter 13 I. Wonder if it's the right verse. Nehemiah chapter 13, verse one. On that day, they read. Aloud from the Book of Moses. In the hearing of the people, and they were found written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the. Assembly of God mercy because. They did not meet the. Sons of Israel with bread and water. But they hired Balaam, the prophets. Against them to cast. Them, however, our God turned. The curse into a blessing. Hirelings can. Go against the will of. God for money. People that are blessed you can be hired to kiss God. You can be. Hired to go against. The will of God. Because of money. That's why I'm preaching what I'm preaching. So. So that you are. Killed because if money can pull you, money can hire. You and you can be hired. Whatever gods will is. Blessing or is blessing you can be hired to. Guess what? God has blessed hey. You can be. Hired to go against the will of God like this is the will of God. When money comes, you can be made to turn. Against the will of God. Balamo, he was a prophet. And they? Offered him money, he said these. People are blessed by God, but no. I will rise up and I will fight. It because somebody has given me some money. To fight against God. Judas was hired by Pharisees to. Fight the Son of God and to kill him. Look, money is something that I tell you, I mean. You can work for money, get money. In the world, but. When you step in the church. Let your. Mind. About money never have, have. With your mind that. What can I do? For God, Now. Now what can I get from the Lord? Do you understand what I'm saying? No. What? Can I get? What can I get? What can I have? What can I receive? What are my benefits? No, but. Rather, what can I do now? What can I? Contribute because he has done. So much for you. It's done. So very much for you. Is there not a song like that? I love that man, Galilee. Very much fun. Yes, yes, take my sins. I love, I love that. Man of Galilee. Sing it again. For he so very much for me. That's taken away by sins. For the Holy Ghost. I love, I love. I love how to sing a song. I love that man, Galilee. For he has done. So very much for me. Taking away my sins. For the Holy Ghost, hey. The last thing I will charge him, I will charge him I. Will collect. My money from the man. Of Galilee, hey. You see, and you know there are two types of people. There are poor people. Who have suffered so much? That they are looking. For any. Chance to get money and when they come to. The church, and they see that the church can. Of get me some money then they. Say yes, pay me and there are rich people. Who are full of. Bread. They are full, but they will still collect bread money for fuel. Hey. Money for telephone calls. Money. For fuck money for everything and. When you come to the House of the Lord, I love for He. Hasn't very much for me. Hey, he. Has taken away. My. Sins for the Holy Ghost. I love it. I love the man of. Galilee, are you glad? For the man of Galilee. You have any bills you want to present to him? You know that song? This. Lady used to sing, She said that a child. Came to charge her. For, you know, for. Taking out the rubbish or something. And he said she told him then I want you to pay. For all the times I look after you. I took you to the hospital, so that way you are charging somebody. You are making such a mistake. You know, one day my mother told me. Something I was very surprised, she said. I was telling her I went to the Kollibu hospital emergency. Very dirty place. And I said this is a very nasty place. For children. And she said, oh, I've slept there many times. My my mother told me that she has slept there many times. With me, I said. Who me? I've never slept there before, I said. Oh, you have slept there. I have slept there with you many. Times when you're a baby when you're a child. I said White Lady A. Foreigner come to Ghana. With a little children. And I was sick many times, he said. You were in the hospital. So now when I'm growing up. You know some sometimes I. Look and say that if. Even your mother could even ask you for something. That you could do for her this. Is not a blessing. Don't know what he has done they have done for you, huh I. Was very surprised no that. Was one of my. Surprises in life, I tell. Said me. I've never slept there, even when I work I don't want. Anything to touch me in? The world and. He said you have slept there, I have slept there with you many. Times I said who me? You couldn't be yes, you #1 so. Don't, don't. See God and see. Aha, I'm coming to milk. I'm coming to extract. I'm coming to. Take something again. Or rather. See, I'm coming to say thank you. I'm coming to appreciate my God, can I have an Amen? But As for Balaam? He could be. Hired even to fight God. And Judas was hired to. Fight Jesus Christ. Mercy, how many have decided not? To be. Be moved by money again. In the work of God, have you realized that it's a very dangerous thing? Very, very, very. Dangerous thing. Anybody who becomes full time in the ministry, you, you are now in a more. Difficult situation because you also. Earn money. From your work of. Preaching so it now becomes even more. Complex as to how? To even be. Sure in your heart. That you are doing. The right thing. Amen. Are you there? Are you? There, Amen. Amen. Wonder Bar. The next one is what Highlings have not been sent. By God, but. They have not been sent by God, they are not called by God. They have been sent by money, and they are called by money. A many Sambalat and Tobias in Nahimaya. Chapter 6 They came to they they were being. Harassed. We are in the Himaya, so why don't you just? Go back to chapter 6. Verse 5. Then Sambalat sent his seven to me in the same manner. Are you in a himaya? I read from verse one. It was reported to Sambala Topaya to. The rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the. Wall verse 2. Then Sambalaat and Geshem sent a message to me saying come, let us be. Together, but they were. Planning to harm me so I sent messages to them saying I'm doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should you stop? Work and leave it and come down to you. And they send messages to me four times in this manner. And I answered them in the same way. Then Sambala sent his servant to me in the same manner 5th time with an. Open letter, all right. And it was written, it is reported among the nations, and Ghashmu says that you and the Jews are planning to rebel, therefore you are rebuilding the wall and. You are to be their. King, according to these reports, you have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you. A king is in Judah now it. Will be reported to the. King, according to this report. So come now, let us take council together. And I sent a message to him saying such things. Are you with me in verse eight such? Things, as you are saying, have not been done, but you are inventing them in your mind. For all of them. Were trying to frighten us, thinking they will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done. But now, oh God, strengthen my hands. And when I entered the House of Shamaya, the son of Delia, the son of Mehitabo, who was confined at home. He said let us be. Together in the House of God within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to. Kill you and they. Are coming to kill you at night. But I said, should a man like me flee, and could one such as I go into the temple to save his knife, I will not go in. Then I perceived that surely God had not sent him. But he acted his prophecy. Against me because Tobiah ensemble that had hired. Him. They are not sent by. God, they are hired. Hired. Prophets hired. By money sent by money, not by God. Money and secular men can pay you. To go and speak. Lies and prophecy, things that are not true. Is it not amazing? Is it fantastic? Amen. Next one is what #12. Hirelings frustrates the work of God. Because they are not genuinely called and they are not a part of genuine ministry, they actually frustrates. The word is the keyword is frustrates. They are a frustration to the work of the Lord. They are a what? They are a what frustration to the work of the Lord. Time will be to Ezra. Ezra chapter 4 verse. #5 You know where to find Ezra. Where can you find Ezra before Nehemiah or after Nehemiah? Before Nehemiah. OK, I was looking after. Right Verse 4 Ezra, Ezra verse 4 Ezra verse 4. Are you there then the people of the land discouraged the people of Judah and. Frightened them from building and. Hired are you Ezra? I can hear some people still turning. Have you found it? Ezra chapter 4. Then Ezra chapter 4, verse 4. Then the. People of the land discouraged the people of Judah. And frightened them from building and hired counsellors against them. They hired counsellors against them. To frustrate. You see, the word frustrates the frustrates their. Council and all the days of Cyrus the king of Persia, even. Until the reign of Darius, King of Persia. Are you seeing the frustration? Are you seeing the frustration by? Hirelings. Hirelings are dangerous people. They frustrate. They confuse things, they mix with us. But they frustrate. They frustrate. Ask your neighbor, do you? Frustrate you? Frustrate the work of God. You frustrate the work of God. The work of God is. Moving that they, they, they. Just sort of bring epilepsy into the work and the work begins to have some seizures. It cannot move. Freely they frustrate. The work of God. Amen. All right, stand up. Everybody before you frustrate me. Oh. Jesus, I've promised to serve. Thee to the end. Let your hands and thank. God for His Spirit, His Word. Ask God to grant you the grace that you will never be a highland as long as you live. You can never be hired to fight God, to kiss, to oppose the will, to frustrate the will of God. Parand al Murderer Shamandala Mary Paramandal Bara. Oh yes. Oh yes, Oh yes. Thank you Jesus, Hallelujah, Amen #104. For reasons, you can sit. Down you can sit. Down you cannot frustrate. Me, God is greater than you. The next reason why we must be so witness is. Because the Gospel offers the greatest, the greatest of everything. Amen, number one, it is. Let me share with you the greatest. Number one is the greatest invitation of all time. God so loved the. World. Amen. The greatest invitation. Whosoever. Is it not the greatest? Invitation whosoever, anyone #2 the greatest person loves you. Huh. You may be loved. By the person who loves you is a rapist. But somebody. Greater may love you. And you find. Yourself being blessed the greatest. Person, the greatest invitation, the greatest person loving you #2 #3. It is the greatest. Kind of love. So the greatest invitation, the greatest person, the greatest love, greatest kind of love. Because you know there are different types of love. There is physical love, huh. There is this kind of. Love, that kind of love. All kinds of love. But this is the greatest. Kind of love. Amen. The love of God. Is it not powerful? The next. One is the greatest number. Of people that are loved. Greatest number of people that. Are loved. Huh. Greatest number of people. The best reason why? You must be a soul winner is because it's the. Greatest the great. Is that what did I say it is? The greatest one? No. No, no, no, no. Is the greatest gospel and I'm. Showing you why. Is the greatest gospel. And the. First reason is because greatest invitation, isn't it? Of all time number. Two, the greatest person who is loving you, isn't it? Isn't the person who loves? You matters. Ladies, isn't it? When a man comes and tells you. I love you. Then you look at. Him up and down. You love me, you, you love me. And you are looking at somebody whom you wish will come and tell you I love. But he and he, he's never saying he loves you. He never tells you that he loves you but this? One is coming to. Say that he loves me. So that's why I say that the greatest person loves you. It matters number. Three, it is the greatest. Kind of love, isn't it? This great gospel or this greatest gospel? The greatest? Kind of love #4 the greatest number of. People are loved because many. People love just a few. People. Just love myself, my husband, my wife, my children. Finish. But this is a love which loves everybody. The whole wide world. Amen. Is loved by God. Hallelujah. And then the greatest gift. Is offered. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of. God is eternal life. Is there any gift greater than this if you get a? Gift of three handkerchiefs. A gift of a pen. A gift of a tie, but you are. Being given the gift of eternal life, Jesus told the woman of Samaria. I say if you knew who it was. That's previous to you. And the gift of God. If you knew the. Gift of God. You would say. To him give me. Of of that water. To drink Amen. Can I have an Amen? Can I have an Amen from somebody? From somebody like. You the greatest gift. If you knew the next. One is. Because it's the greatest it offers. You the chance to do the greatest. Thing that a human being can ever do. With his life, which is to believe it gives you. The chance to do the. Greatest act, the greatest human. Act, and the greatest human act is not to go. To the moon. Well, when you get to the moon, you can't go further. The greatest human act is not to. Study and pass exams. And get a masters. Because many people. Can do that. But the greatest act is the act of believing Jesus. Jesus, they ask. Jesus. How can we do the works of God? He said believe. He said he that believeth. On me. The works that I do. Shall he do also? So as I'm. Preaching you see some. Of you are believing, but some are also not believing. You get it. So it's. Like how? To get you to believe and there are some people you can preach and preach and. Preach and preach, no matter. What you say they will never believe. They never change. Never say yes, never say no. Why do you want them? To say no, they. Never say no. Why do? You want them to. Say yes, they never say. Yes. Never agree. Never. Give up. Never. See your point? Never. See the point. Never. Yield. Never understand, never bend. Never bow, never yield, never give up, never give in. Just to go to heaven. But the greatest? Thing a man can do. Is to believe. When I look at myself, what am I? Doing I'm. Doing all that I'm doing. Because of what I believe. What I believe has. Even given me a job. To do. What I believe has even carved out something for me in this. Life what I believe has. Made me what I am doing today just. Believing. Not my school, my education and my knowledge has not brought me to where I am. It's my believing. That's why I say it's the greatest. Act that a person can. Do is to believe, Yeah. That is why you are. You are judged by what? You believe that was the? Eldest. Obtain a good report. Through faith. It was their. Faith by faith, they. Obtain a good report. By what they were. Able to believe. So the number of things you are able to believe and how? Much you are able. To believe is what? Differentiates is what actually takes you to heaven. Not to a nice house. In three bedrooms. But is to heaven to the. Highest, the highest of everything. Of your life. Will come by. What you are able to believe even the ability. To believe that you are forgiven I. Tell you it's an ability. The greatest? Act. Geraldine can. Ever do is not to give birth to a child, but it's to believe. And sometimes when people marry, one believes more than the other, and it. Causes an imbalance because one. Believes that the other doesn't really believe to that extent, and then the thing starts to bring friction. Are you listening to me? This is the greatest gospel, the greatest invitation to the greatest. Number. Of people with the greatest. Laugh by the greatest person offering. You the chance to do. The greatest? Thing you can ever do. With your life. Which is to believe in God and believe in. Jesus Christ. That's why I call it the greatest. 'Cause that is the 100. And fourth reason why? You must be a SO winner and then the number the number 7. Is that it gives you the greatest escape from judgments and hell, hey. This greatest gospel is the greatest you see there are. Films about prison escapes because anybody escaping. From prison, you know it's. Sort of seen as a major. Achievement You escape the soldiers. The barriers, the walls. The electric fences. The videos. Even up till today people. Are. Escaping. I saw 11 and have you not watched a film like that? Before escaped from Alcatraz and prison. Prison break. And other things like that. I saw one modern this modern world. British What do you call? It the guy. Went out to the car. And went and. Hid under the car and held. The. Pipes under the car like that and he drove. Out of the prison. Modern Britain. Is an escape. And all escapes are so. Amazing that films are. Made out of them. But in this greatest gospel. We are talking about the greatest escape that ever happened. Somebody like? You to escape from that place where you were clearly guilty. Hey, you remember? Recently, Michael Jackson was being. Tried. He was in court. He came to court even in his. Pyjamas isn't it? And they were going to sentence. I'm sure he's about. 40 or 50 years old. They were going to sentence him to prison for. 20 years and they filmed as they were bringing him from there. The film as they were. Bringing him from his house to the court. To come and hear.
