Now, why did Judas become Judas after all these things that were done for him? That is what we want to find out. Number one, he didn't finish what he started. Yes, we can only have two links. Have to let me to print some ideas Have to make possible policies, you understand and why Judas, we can do not have to do. Friends, thoughts friends? To. Thus was the back. Yes, and. I. If somebody is a foreigner in your. Country, you have to be very careful with the person. Don't judge you for how you treat the person. The. So when you have a dog run out, it causes bad thoughts to enter your mind. If you are a foreigner, battles can enter in all the tribe. All tribes are this tribe and you are an old one in your tribe. You can easily have negative thought and. So that's a person. You have to resist that thing because people have also had the final yes, and I have kind. Of high high over. After what? Come down on the association after church and I. Have some comments you call it? So we have two now. Any other colours? West College? Are you calling on Black or Colin? They look black. OK, nice. My sister. We are going to form a association. OK, College association. No, I'm serious. We are form a college association. The church and I remember you. And then we we work together. Married, you know, I I I used to feel the old runner. When I go and visit my wife's family, they'll they'll be speaking fancy. Fancy. Does he speak fancy? Angel. Angel, does he speak fancy? My mother-in-law every time she'll be. I said, did you speak fancy? I said I speak Gan. OK, you speak. I speak Gan to you. You do You speak Gan Oh. I'm dying. It's not easy to be. Since we are driving with a white man, we. Cannot. We cannot. Oh, after 20 years of the time. Is it not true since? We are driving with the white man. We cannot stop to buy our fighting. I felt so sad. I just can you buy your king? King. But they see me as like a foreigner since we are with the white man. It's like I don't belong. Then yes, you said accept your apology. And then so all I, all I have to say to myself is that I'm a white man. I'm a white man. I will show you that. You said you missed me. There was a certain presidential candidate. Presidential candidate, you see, when he was growing up, his parents took him to England, France, America. He used to drive in expensive cars. And then some other poor presidential candidates from poorer backgrounds started to criticize him. You are this guy. He says, rich man, he's fault. He's not one of us. He's not a real Canyon. So the rich, rich presidential candidate said this true. I was in Paris. I was in London. And So what? I drove this car, I have this car, and So what? And I have no apologies. There's no shame. You may scream. If you have not been rich before, you may scream. There's no shame. They always want to make you a different person, you see. You must not be too offended by that. Because I'm telling you, if you are not an odd one out today, you can easily be an odd one out tomorrow. You can become an odd one out somewhere suddenly. Today you may not be the odd one, but tomorrow you can be the odd. 1. Look, the first time I came to Devon, I saw Khalid. Listen, I've seen my people, they see my people. Everyone in there is God friendly. I've seen where I belong. That's why that's why I really go to Devon. I do want to go and see my people. With my cousins and then in the church. People of my color don't go to church. So even more do not allow birthday. You will be an old one out somewhere. Maybe everybody will be slave, but you'll be fat. Hi, everybody will be fat but you are slave. Don't let me get into your hands. Number 2, two Judas. Maybe he was disappointed at the time of training. What type of training was he undergoing? And he was being made an usher. He was as Jesus and make the men sit down and usher makes people sit down, stand up. He was made a waiter. It's beautiful to them that were set down. John chapter 6 verse 11. He was made an errand boy and then Jesus sent 2 disciples and he was made a scavenger and Jesus said gather up the fragments. Judas was immune crops. Listen, are you there? Yeah. Now in the process of becoming who you are supposed to. There are always going to be things which are unrelated to your hands. What do I mean by that? They, they, they don't. Look, I don't understand what I'm saying. But what I'm trying to say is that if, for instance, when you decide that, OK, I'm going to Pretoria right now, you may have to go to a room. Maybe Pretoria is here, you have to go to a room. This that's this way. Are you going to go to your room to work with me and is that go to Victoria What are you doing with me So many things you don't know the connection between that thing you don't understand what I'm saying. So in your journey to become a great. Apostle. I mean, you're going to be great. Apostles wave. And a great pastor, if you're going to be a great pastor, the great shipment wave, the great teacher of the word of God wave and your journey. Yes, including pain of times you, you may not know how it is connected, how it is connected to become, but I can tell you that for me having to paint heights in London. That's where I saw pepper fire and that's where I valued the tithe because I needed a tithe for my But on the journey to becoming or just what do I have to change my dressing as a lady? If you want to be a minister, you have to put around. You can't wear it that way. You want to be a minister? When we start to assess what size of bottoms do you have, what size of breast, what is it? If it is to raise your hand, there are others who will tell the truth. Raise your hand, face, legs, breasts will assess brothers. How many have been assessing photographic assessments? It is automatic scaling. Maybe the only thing that that is what is happening. It's good, committed sisters, we are so. There is no. Shame we are so that we can change. We will get to having a change or as long as we are here with our this coming. That is not true. Are you there, are you there or you are not there? What is the how does it when you come to Bible school in Ghana and you you are there, you are experiencing, you ask what is the use of this? Sometimes people will be making tapes, making CD, doing things, arranging, scrubbing toilet. So what is the connection to preach carrying books, printing, writing exam Is to make you bendable is to make you pliable is to make you usable #3 So what was the first reason why Judas was the odd run out? How many are going to overcome all odd run out experiences #2 is 1. He is disappointed on the type of training #3 He was probably disappointed after the poor accommodation in the ministry because Jesus said the Son of Man has not where to lay his head always in the ministry it. Looks like the. Ministry is a place where you are not stable, you say. Sometimes people turn against God and say I will not finish God. What is there Nigeria, what is there like South Africa? What is the clean place? So maybe. You cannot be in the ministry. This is your Judas baby. After he realized I know this ministry where we are going to stay May. Not be so good. Now one day it's going to be worth. It from somebody told. Me. Come on, sing it again, somebody told me. Sing it, somebody told me. And then they told that in the mission, not in the mission, they could decline. And then they told me once they were late, but now full time. But I didn't think, I didn't think it could be. You see, Judas could not believe that it will be well with him, more accommodation, no stability. And so that's why it's happening today too. Somebody tells you what the joy they have that in the mission you can be glad, very happy, very glad that once you were laid and laid pasta working at the International Bank of the Moon and Stars. I I BMMMSIBMS Bank that once I was a layperson, but now I'm full time, but I didn't think it could be. I see you working for God in the full time ministry. Come on, sing it now. He told me, he told me God, they had hey. And then they told me that is the mission, the mission, they could be glad. Come on. And then they told me once they were late, but now full time. But I didn't think. I didn't think. Come, I hear you sing it. Think it could be. Did it happen to me? I see it happening to you in the name of Jesus. I. Didn't think it could be. Did it happen to me? Now sing it. Somebody told me. Come on. Somebody told me the joy behind. And then they told me they could be glad. And then they told me as they were chasing and being wild goose, but I didn't think of them. I chasing a wild goose. I hated thinking of them. Let it happen to them. Sit down. The next one, Judas was disappointed at the poor transportation. No good car for Judas. The only car was a donkey, and that one, it was only Jesus who was riding the donkey. Oh, Pastor, if I had been working for myself right now, I'll be driving BMW now because I'm working for the church. I'm driving Hyundai, Toyota, Goose. Oh, by now I would have been driving my Rolls Royce, my Mercedes-Benz. But now I'm driving Toyota, Korean cars, Chinese car, you know, Jack. There's a car called Jack. There's a new car called Jack JSC. Jack. We have bought one in a crowd. Jack. From China. Yeah, Jack. Now I'm driving Jackie Jack. I would have been driving a German car. Oh. And. Who is the one riding the donkey? Who is the one enjoying the car? The senior pastor, how much more you, the branch pastor and the junior pastor and the assistant deputy junior pastor, there is no hope for you. So Judas looked at the thing and said, man, I'd better sell Jesus and get 30,000 to buy a car for the future. Second hand donkey at least #5 Judas was not happy with the food. No pop, oh the food that we want. No Nandos. The next one. Judas began to see Jesus as a wicked miser who would never be generous to his employees. Judas began to see there as a wicked. I mean, he gave everybody one basket of crumbs, 12 baskets, everybody one basket. Amen. One for you, one for me. We were not 13 baskets, 12 baskets. Jesus himself was not going to eat some of the crumbs, but He organized crumbs for his decision. Disciples, I Jesus, why didn't you multiply more bread? Not that you made the crunch people's leftovers. This is what you are giving us. Look at how I've grown since I became a pastor and I saw I saw the city missionary. He had grown leaves. He said, oh brother, it is well. Once I was named but now made facts #7 Judas did not like the way Jesus was being treated specially. Anybody who does not like your pastor to be treated specially, there is something wrong with you. But when the woman came to pour the alabaster box, he said why is this waste? Can't waste this. If I drive a nice car and I'm driving my car and said why are we wasting the money on the Bishop? Why are we wasting the money on the Bishop? Because the cluvia. Why? Because the cluvia goes to Ethiopia. We have to buy a very nice car for him in Ethiopia. I said, why are we wasting the money of Pastor Crucule? Why are we wasting this money for your mouth like a problem? Why? Why don't you like it? There is something evil in you. There is a Satan in you. Satan means that his name was Lucifer, the son of the morning, the one who brings his brightness. He brings money, he brings light. He was changed to Satan, the resistor. He is the resistor of things, good things, nice things, opposes things. Why? Why you should rather be saying no. We are going to do more. You deserve more than this. You are our pastor. You are our leader. If you have not been there, we will not be here. You deserve and you must know the higher your leader goes, you also go higher and you press him down, down, down, down, down. We are connected to him. So when he goes up, if I, my head goes up to the city, my toes will be up here, but my toes are down on the front because my head is just, if my head could go higher, then my toes will also go up. So those of you who don't like riches, recently, our presidents, as we have a new president, we have that spirit in Ghana, have a new president. And then the old president, they said they are going to give him two houses, six cars. What some money for this dollar to make foundation beyond this to do this that's a present to settle the present was worked for eight years. If the president is up 70 years old and then the parliamentary they're going you should see people in Ghana. No, why? Why should we do that? Why they do that? Why not it's very bad. Why shouldn't wait? It's a waste of money and then it's the same thing and do that. They don't want it. What is a house? What is a house to a country? What is 6 cars to a country, a nation, a whole nation? What is 6 cars? One single businessman can even buy What is 2 houses? It's nothing. But you see people who are against riches and privileges that people have. Why is he doing that? Why does he have that? Why is he staying there? Why is he that all those people are sick in their minds, I tell you they are sick and their minds don't work along the lines we generate prosperity. No, I mean President Bush is finished president. He didn't have a house but the house do. So many $1,000,000. He has got the house in his house. President Clinton be giving a speech 1 speech $100,000. They pay him. Look at you. Are you a crap? There was a certain man who was carrying two bags with his shoulder like that. One of the bags was open and one of the bags was closed. Today he used to pass one OP, one cruise and one day somebody asks what are you carrying? Said oh, I only I deal in crabs. I have crabs in my mouth. I take them and I go and sell. So every day you see the person, I've got some crabs and then I go and sell them and I come back. So the man kept going up and down. Then one day, the same young man came to ask him. Why is it that one of the bags is? Open and one of the bags is closed and the guy said oh it's easy, the one which is open has crabs and the one which is closed also has crabs. But the one which is open has black crabs and the one which. Is closed has. White crabs, I said. Why are the why? Why have you tied the white crabs and the Black Caps are hoping for fresh air, he said. Oh, the black crabs, none of them can climb out because if one of the black crabs starts to climb, the others will pull him down. So because. Of that I don't have. A problem. I leave it open for fresh air. Nobody can come out, Nobody can arise. Nobody can accept, nobody can prosper. We will make sure you are down with us down here inside the back that the white crabs, if you open it, they will come out one by one. They will all when they see this one golden emulation, they will follow like that. This is where he passed to go. So the white crab, I tie black people pull him down. Crabology. Are you a black crab? Let God touch your hands. A leader is a very valuable person. Africa is the way it is because of the leaders. Yeah, South Africa has been ruled by a certain type of leadership that is hacker. Even that you have places like this, if you come to other parts of Africa which have been ruled by a certain kind of way, and you'll be amazed. You will be amazed. So a leader is very important. But he's worth a house. He's worth 2 hours. I would say the president is worth 20 houses. Even the. Fact that he handed over. Power he could have. His listing Look. At Mugabe, he said, I won't go, I'm going to move. Yeah, I won't go. I won't go. I'm 90 years old. He dyed his head. He dyed his head and he's moving with black hair. And now his hair should be white. And he says I won't go. And that is all. So maybe he should get one house for going. One house for every year that he has worked there. Have you ever heard of a currency? You buy a loaf of bread with $1 billion? Please. Have I just 111 loaf of bread now? It was. 5-5 trillion for one. Loaf of bread. One loaf of bread was how much? 5 trillion. 5 trillion Zimbabwe. Dollars 5 trillion. A. Trillion has. And how much was one? Coca-Cola. You have Coca-Cola there? Yeah, Coca-Cola. How much is? It almost the same price, 5 trillion, yeah. So what can you buy with 1 billion or billion? We don't. You give to a child, you love it. My daughter I gave my daughter. I gave my daughter a 5 billion not you gave. Your daughter $5 billion. You gave your child 5. Billion dollars, 5 billion. I mean, she's. She's in break 0 so I said I may have some money. I want to go and buy candy. So I gave her 5 billion. She looked at it and she said, oh, it doesn't buy anything. That is what. We have. That is what has been. Done to the country. You gave your daughter 5 billion. Please do. Have you brought some? I have a single note in the car. One how much is that? 1 billion. I would not to have 111 or 200 billion. I think I have a. Note in the car I'll. Check. I'll check in the car. 100 million. 100 billion billion 100. Billion. There was a note 100 trillion note $100 trillion, hundred trillion. That was the highest. So we removed 12 zeros. Now we are in the thousands and the total number of zeros we've removed is 32, now 30. Two zeros that is. That is what one man can do to a country. So when a person even leaves the country intact, it should be rewarded into. So is it this attitude? Why is this money being wasted on this person? You don't know if I was not to do, certainly in a certain way. You may not even be in the ministry. Yeah, you may not know, you see. So you may think that oh its too much for Bishop, we are wasting money on him, we are doing this on that. But if you go into or you see the absence of it, that's when you see what it means not to have a certain kind of person leading you. Are you there? So anybody? Who? Doesn't like leaders. Being given privileges is evil. And he has something wrong with him. Even if you don't have that privilege, you must value the concept of being a leader and that it is a very high reward to be a leader. A high reward. Amen. Are you there or you've decided to go home? Yeah, I'm billion. Some of you from Zimbabwe. Please give me some money before you go. At least one or two billion. I need about 5 billion. You give some to Bishop Eddie? No, but I need some personally. Some billion. My personal one or two billion. I will put it in my office as one of the seven wonders of my office. 200,000 is not much. I need billions. Next one Judas thought that the. Ministry. The emphasis and the direction of the ministry had changed. He was thinking, why are we? Not giving money to the poor. We are wasting it on Jesus. Instead of directing money, you see to. To to, to good. Causes now we have it looks like the church has changed. Now we are diverting money to give money to this man. Why? Why are you? Against it. And you are using. Spiritual. Reasons, isn't it? Hello, are you there? OK, OK, OK. Number. 9. The next reason is that maybe. Judas had been accused of misusing the church's money. Do you get it? Are you there? You know, sometimes when somebody is. Challenged about something, then he grows wild, isn't it? Is it not? Why are you doing this? Then the person rather tense on you. So you watch people who accuse pastors and accuse churches. Usually there's something wrong with them. When you hear somebody accusing, accusing, usually there's something wrong with the person. Beware of people who are always accusing. Amen. Judas, rather, was a thief #12 Perhaps. Judas, are you with me? Oh, sorry #10. Judas perhaps wanted to get rich quickly. Isn't it the? Way things were going, would Judas get rich quickly? If you are here, how many of you want to get rich quickly? Ah, you will not raise your hand. You have Judas's attitudes if you want to get rich quickly. Amen. You want money, you got to be careful about money. Are you there? Can you hear me? Somebody has lowered my volume. Wow man, Jesus has promised. I'll give you a hundredfold now and in the life to come. You know, I've I've. Been pastor of Lighthouse for years. Pastor Richard. When did we have passes of thousands? Is it process of 1002, Thousand, 2001? All those times for so many years, nobody ever invited me anywhere. I mean outside our church. I've never invited anywhere. Nobody will ever buy a ticket and say come and preach in our church or even give you a honorarium. Years and years and years. There's nothing like that. If you are after money, you will be surprised how you will spoil your ministry. There was nothing like that. And many of you don't experience anything. You don't have to experience it, too. That's not why you are in the ministry. Are you listening? Yeah, so just. Galvanized your. Heart, you're working for God. But Judas probably wanted to get rich quick. And Jesus has promised hundredfold now and in their life to come. Life to come. When I need it now, is it life to come #11 Jesus Judas had become too familiar. With. Christ Amen. He has seen Jesus happy, Bible says, and Jesus rejoiced. He has seen Jesus crying. Jesus wept. Amen. He called him my own familiar friend. But actually there are some other gospels which describe Jesus in a more human way, not in the. Bible they describe. Him, how he would laugh, how he would kiss somebody, different things like that. They are not in the Bible, but there are other gospels and other accounts which people wrote of Jesus. Some are not as they are not accepted as scripture, but in some of those accounts you see them describing Jesus as a very human person. You. Understand and you get to. Realize Jesus was an ordinary he became a man and he died on the cross for us. But in the in the Bible, Bible, you don't see much of that kind of, but you just see that he rejoiced, he wept. They are like King James ways of being happy. Do you? Understand. And he was. An ordinary person, he slept. In the car. He must have poo pooed on the way a couple of times or I told you yesterday about the gastrocolic reflex. Jesus ate bread and. Fish. When he finished he'll say excuse me, I need to go to the toilette and then he will. Go and then when the. Alison, where is Jesus? So he's this is down there, He's down there. He has been there for some time. After some time he said this. Is the Son of God, that's why this Judas told him after I looked. At him and said this is not the. Son of God, this is not the Son of God. This is not the Son of God. This is not the son of Come, Doctor. No Come. I stand here suppose. You know, I say, OK, this is the Son of God, This is God. How many you say, oh, which part of God are you? We know. If you say you are God, do you think he's God? Can you think this one is God? How can you be God? Are you now wearing shoes? Choose your way and say you are God. God in Jesus as God wear Jesus. Go and sit down before they insult you. Please the. Insults were beginning to. Come too much? You see, because they know him, they don't. Accept him as God. So sometimes when you are with someone. Too closely. If you don't take care, you cannot receive from the person. Yes, it's not easy to be with somebody. And then always. See the person as. Anointed. After some time you see how the person is normal. Yeah, yeah, he's a man. He's a man before he's of God. He's just a man. Oh, you don't understand it? How many passes realize that you are a man before you are of God? Total man struggling. There is no shame. There is no shame in this. You may scream. What do you think? Huh? Yeah, but you see, you need to tune your mind. So if God has given the privilege of to be close to a man of God, you always tune your mind. Tune your mind, tune your mind. Otherwise one day you will be rejected because you allowed familiarity. It's a problem that happens to wives of pastors, wives of pastors. The pastor is the head. He is the pastor and then you are the wife. It's like, oh, you, I'm the only one who can tell you this. I know everything. I know you better than anybody's. I see what they don't see. And. People don't really know you. If they knew your fans, your adorable ones, your admirers. These are the kind of comments pastors here, your people, your golden ones. When you come to this, you calm down. Nothing. This is not church. So you see that? Yeah, this is normal. Such things may either be said or implied. They may be. Said or implied will be said or implied. You get it. You don't get it. Now why did you not answer me? Oh, you are hungry now? I'm talking about Judas. How you become Judas after being chosen, sent, called, appointed, exposed, given exposure, loved, cared, called familiarity. And it's I know, I know. I know a lot of things, our man. You know our. Man, You know our man. You know our man. He will not let us go now. Our man has started a meeting. He will not end now. Our man has just started speaking. We will not go home now. You know our man, he's difficult. To feed. You know our man, Oh man, if he likes only. Chinese food, that's why you should not be allowed to feed, so that you not have the chance to say that thing because it was, it was a, it's a, it's a privilege for you to even help somebody to eat. Now you say that it is difficult. What do mean? I say what do mean? Our man. Now you don't call him pastor, you say our man. Don't say Bishop, you say our. Man. Now you see. You need to have a certain mixture to be able to flow. Domestic things. And then still see your husband as pastor in Zambia. They kneel down, isn't it? Malawi, too, they kneel. Down. Now some are kneeling down in their legs, but in their mind they're saying you. Their heart is not in the kneeling. But it's good to kneel. I wish my wife would kneel. When she's serving me. She'll kneel like that. Hey, I'll feel powerful. So. Wow, Pastor Rachel, would you like your wife to kneel? Oh, I'll write a letter to her to accept it to me. Receive it. Hey. You come another. Would you like some tea, my love? Isn't isn't not a nice thing? You like some tea? Oh, I. Didn't even don't even bring the tea. Properly, at least you like some tea. But now our man, our man has come. Huh. Take it. Take the food, go and get it. Go and get it. Do you know where the food is? Go and take it. You know, you know where it is. What again do you want? You know where the kitchen is? Hey Zimba Limbo, there is no shame. You may scream. So if you don't take care and you are in the church, you can oppose your husband, you, you can. A wife can easily become Satan of the whole church. So sometimes it's a blessing that the pastor didn't marry you because you can become the number one opposer. One day, a certain man. Said. He said that my wife he. Was going to do something. He said my wife has agreed. My wife said it's a good thing and he said if my wife agrees then. It's a It's a break. Because she never agreed to anything that I do. And it's a common stance taken by many wives. You become the major adversary or the opposer and the resistor of things that your husband does. That's the Satan. Through innuendos. Direct opposition behaviour, decisions that are taken, you become the opposer and the resistor, the adversary of the man of God. Are you listening to me? Yes, I'm talking about Judas is carry out himself. Are you a Judas wife? Be careful Vashti. Vashti, you shall not always be on the throne and. Another can come and take over. Who shall be more humble and receive also as a member of the Church? Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. And when you stay? A long time in a. Church, you can analyze. You know, our man, he's going to teach loyalty. You know our man, he's going to say this. You know our man, these are the seven points he's going to bring. You know, our man, this and that. That is why others will be raised up above you, because you know, and you are no more able to receive knowledge. Yeah. As for me, I'll tell you. I have antennas like this. One of the main things that I. Watch out is for familiarity. I watch out already in my own way, when I sense that somebody is too. That's not you see, there are some people, they can be close to you, but they don't despise you. They respect you very much. They know. Example. A good example is Bishops. I have. I have a number of people like that. A good example is Bishops Saki. He has been with me for years. He knows anything that there is to be known, but he doesn't have that. Even anytime I'm traveling, he takes me to the airport. Even yesterday I was coming, he was preaching. He preached and left the preaching rush to my heart. I said oh there's no need, I just go. There are so many people. He will always take me to the airport himself. He's the Bishop of the Kodesh and he will come and meet me personally himself always. Never send anybody or let someone. Always. It's for any Christ sake problem whatever that mind and that respect has not been. Recently I went to. Him in the office, I was standing outside with some people. I said, let's go and say hello to them in their office, in his office. So I went there and I said, oh, I've come with all these people want to say thank you for pastoring the Kodesh and how the church has grown. And he said they're crying because he's trying to do something to help me. He's not trying to be a great man of God. So it's like there are people who have that. Understand. It's like they know everything, but they have a certain eye that can that does not despise you when. You are preaching that they know what you are. Preaching, but they don't despise it. They are receiving it but. There are some people when you are. Introduced to something small known yourself comes you see that you are becoming like an ostrich, ready to walk around. That's why you, you are not good to be close. The Bible says there were Daniel and his friends and they were suitable for the King's court. Not everybody is suitable to work inside the King's court. They have the ability. Ayudhya Judas in the church. Some of you have no business getting near Pastor Jake. You don't have any business getting there, pastor. Clue for you. Some of you must not be close. You are not good to be close. So if you are close you you would. Like to sleep with the pastor? It's true. That's how you are. That is how you are. You know yourself. I shouldn't say it. Not everybody is good to be close. Some people are not good for that. They are good, but they are not good to be close. Are you there? I don't understand what I'm saying. OK. Actually, Neva, are you good for close or far? What did they say? Some people, if they are with you, they don't even talk. The person that is with you one. Day I was playing with a caddy. I was playing golf and I asked my caddy, are you deaf and dumb? He doesn't speak. You are a caddy. You have to say it's. Going right, left, do this, do this. I said, are you deaf? And I said this guy and I told him this man is deaf and dumb. I said I'm not deaf. And I said, but you are deaf and dumb. You don't speak, you don't say anything. There are some people when they are with you, yeah, like deaf and dumb people, they don't say anything. They don't confess, they don't contribute nothing. Who wants you to come and be a? Spectator to observe everything and to listen to everything. That's why I drive myself. I don't need a driver to record. Everything that I'm saying, we're going to say it somewhere. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying. So Judas, Judas, Judas, we shouldn't have made you a disciple. You saw Jesus sleeping. Like maybe when? Jesus sleeps on saliva. Comes out. Some people, when they snore, you will. Not believe this can this can come from a human being. Now you are laughing at me. Because of the way I'm snoring. I shouldn't have allowed you to. Come near where I sleep so that now you are talking about the way I sleep and I'm sure Jesus Judas saw Jesus. It is the Son of God. Then they came to Jesus. Carries down now that we. That is why he. Decided to sell him. And that's why I said, some of you yourself, you see that this thing when I'm close doesn't help me me. I should find myself another job. Amen. Come to Pastor Clufio. 'S house, you see that? He's eating crops. He likes crabs too much. That was the mistake that we. Made to. Allow you to come to the house to come and see that he's eating crab every day. I told you that story one day. I was sitting by a lady's she. Had a big crab. Like now. I was amazed. She should have looked at my eye that I was fine. My snoring still. Affected my throat. All right #12 maybe Judas realized that Jesus. Had discovered that he was a thief #13 Jesus thought that if Jesus was to die, he would lose his job. So he wanted to secure himself. Many of you are like Judas. You are trying to secure yourself with some. Money before you come and work. For God, but your security is turning into more investment, more debts. Are you there? But you are forgiven in Jesus name, You are forgiven now #14 Judas knew too much about too many things. Amen #15. I'm tired. That's why I'm just reading the. Point. Then we go Judas. Thought that the power. Of Jesus was waning, it was reducing. The anointing is less now. Jesus used to preach powerfully. And heal the sick. But now. Every day say I'm going to die, I'm going. To die. Mess. May you never be a Judas. How many realize? You have been a Judas. Before. Raise your hand so that you can be forgiven. If you have not been a judge before, then your sin remains with you. May you never be a Judas because you know too much. You know too much, too much, too much about too many things, but God is extending his grace and his mercies to us in Jesus name. If you repay, good. With evil, Evil will never go away from your house in Jesus name.
