Now, Judas, OK, it's also an example of, yeah, OK, Judas, the second example of somebody who's not finished. Judas, third example of somebody who did not finish, Lucifer. Now this one is. You must listen to this one carefully. Ezekiel, chapter 28. I thought you held a place in my heart. Please and no one else could feel sin capture spirit from working in me. Couldn't look at life honestly. Ezekiel 28. Say that my will gave way to the truth that I found in you. I never knew just how good it would be to stand in your prayers and the story now forgiven. Now I have a reason for leaving. Jesus keeps giving, giving, giving till my heart overflow. I'm forgiven. Are you forgiven? Now I have a reason for leaving. Jesus keeps giving and giving given to my heart overflow. I come to me as a person. I'm free even when I sleep at you are a God will forgives and forgets now I want to give you my home, 'cause I'm forgiven now I have a reason for living. Jesus keeps giving, given, given to my heart over, Lord, forgiven. Now I have a reason for living. Jesus keeps giving and giving given to my heart overflow. Tell. Your mother. You are forgiven.

Give until my heart opens, for you are for my given. Oh, now you have a reason for living. Jesus keeps giving and given. Give until your heart opens. Oh, I am forgiven. Now I have. OK Verse 11 Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God, thou sealest up the sun, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Thou has been in Eden, the garden of God. Are you with me? Verse 13 Every precious stone was thy covering. Now he's talking about Lucifer. You ain't Eden, every precious stone was thy covering, the sandals, Topaz and the diamond, the burial, the Onyx and the Jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, the carbuncle and gold. Hey, as soon as you are a little blessed, be careful of being proud. What do you think? How many of you have your cars parked outside there? Raise up your hand quickly, quickly. There is no shame. You may scream. Now that you have a car. Be humble. They are covered with the Topaz and the carbuncles and the diamonds. The workmanship of thy tablets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee the day that thou was created. God created pipes in him so that there will be music. So he was inbuilt music. What do you think? You see the workmanship of like pipes was created in there. Wow, how many realize that you are not very musical? Raise your hand. How many realize that sometimes when some people sing, you realize that it looks easy for them, isn't it? But it's not that easy for you because there's no workmanship of pipes and tie breads in you. Is that not so? So you are forgiven for singing out of tune. You are forgiven so don't worry. He was a worship leader. Now verse 14, thou are the anointed cherub that coverth. Wow, he was called to cover. And I have said this so that was. Upon the holy mountain of God, thou has walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Experiences. When you have certain experiences, you can change and become some way, and then you promise to do good, do well when you get there, but when you get there, they don't. You don't perform all right. That was perfect in thy ways from the day that that was created. You were good at the beginning till iniquity was found in the Zimbo. Make sure nothing gets into your heart. One of my pastors, a prophet, he said to me one day he had a vision in the night he saw himself sleeping in the bed and the window opened and Satan came into the room through the window and came to him. He was lying down, open his heart and put something in his heart, closed the heart and ran out through the window. And then he got up and he said, is that Satan has come to plant something in his heart. That's what the Bible says. Still, iniquity was found in thee. Until the thing enters your heart, it has not entered you. Yeah. If it's not in your heart, it's not in you. You see, until the ministry is in your heart, it's not in you. Until sin is in your heart, it's not in you. Until you have done setting things from your heart, you've not done it. But the day that it enters your heart, that's when you start to do it in it. In it. By the multitude of dimension ties, they have filled the midst of thee with violence. Thou has sinned, therefore will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God, and I will destroy the old covering cherub from the midst of the stones of fire. Lionheart was lifted up because of thy beauty. Anytime you are beautiful, you are in danger of becoming Lucifer. So if you have a daughter and she's not so beautiful, thank God. In fact, pray for your daughter not to be too beautiful. It's not a good thing to have a very beautiful daughter. And if you are in this world, you are not so beautiful, thank God, because they're very beautiful girls. You see, she who strikes you has been struck. You are walking around and you see a lady who strikes you. She strikes you. Usually she has been struck already several times, but just as she struck you. She struck others who struck her back. Some of you ladies are trying to make yourself more beautiful than you are. You are OK. It's good. It's good that you are not as beautiful as you may imagine. When you look at your face, you feel that your face is a bit long, or it's a bit broad, or this part is a bit big, or this part is a bit smaller, or this part is a bit rounded, or this place is a bit hard or whatever is good. She who strikes you has been struck. So if you are not striking, thank God it has. It is your protection. And those of you who have children, especially if you have a daughter, pray that she may not be too beautiful. Zimbo, you don't understand my message, you see. You don't like what I'm saying, you see, or there is no shame in this. Thy heart was littered up because of thy beauty, and thou has corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness. Your wisdom is not corrupted, a slanted way of thinking. Thy wisdom is corrupted by reason of thy brightness. Because you are so, you are so excellent and so outstanding. Your way of thinking is a little twisted. If you take Europeans today, their way of thinking is corrupted. They think there is no God by reason of their brightness. Because they are shining at the. Richest part of the world, the nicest part of the world, the safest part of the world. And because of that their wisdom is now wisdom. But corrupted wisdom is demonic. Most white people have demonic wisdom. Anti God. If you are anti God and anti your creator, you are demonized. And even the little children have the evil spirits in them. Recently I buried one of our pastors in Europe and he has have cast children just like me. And I look at them, they stood there as they look at a Stony cold face of their father as the two of them stood there not believing in God, not believing in the God whom their father served in Europe because they grew up in Europe. When I was a little child, when I was six years old, my my mother took me to Switzerland and when we were coming back home to Canada, I cried and cried and cried. I said I wanted to go back to Switzerland. I wanted to stay in Switzerland. I wanted to grow up in Switzerland because it was so nice to me as a child. But if I had grown up there, I would have received of this type of wisdom that is corrupted because of the brightness of the place, because of the darkness in Africa, the difficulties here. The wisdom was not corrupted, but the reason was not there before. It will even be corrupted. Mercy, how many understand what I'm talking about? Yeah. So those of you who wanted to be abroad, thank God they didn't allow you. You never know. That is true. Tell it has happened to you. I will cast thee to the ground. I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic. Therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, and he shall devour thee. Satan destroys Satan, he says. I'll bring a fire from within. What will destroy you is what comes from yourself, your way of speaking and your demonic mind, your anti God Antichrist ways. Your rebellion against God is what will lead you to your destruction. If you take Europe, for example, the seat of Satan, you see that they are mine that do everybody do what he wants. There is no God. Feel free is gradually turning them into an abnormal group of people, openly homosexual, about everything you understand, totally depraved. Having sex is like shaking hands or waving. You might as well have sex when you wave your hand. If you can count the number of times you've waved your hand, you can count the number of times you have had sex. And if you count the number of people you've waved hands to, you can count the number of people you've had sex with. That's Europe today. And they are the twisted fire that is coming from within is what is going to bend them. You get it. The nuclear weapons they have built will be used to bend they themselves. That's what the Bible say. He loved kissing, and therefore it came to him. What comes from within you is what will burn you. And I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee, and all them that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee, and thou shall be a terror, and thou shall never be anymore. Amen. Isaiah chapter 14 How a thou fallen verse 12 oh from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning, how a thou cut down to the ground thou which didst weaken the nations, but thou has said in thy hearts, I will ascend into heaven. Lucifer wants to be promoted too fast. I I, I, I I. Belongs to God, we belongs to men. That's what a Jew told me. I you don't use I I will go, I will do. I will. This a Jewish man, he said to me, you say we the I belongs to God. We is for human beings. So don't say I will do, I will come. Amen. So he said, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit also on the track in the sides of the I will ascend above the clouds, the heights of the cloud. I will be like the Most High. Yet thou shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Then I see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble? That is Sheikh kingdoms that made the world as a wilderness and destroy the cities thereof that open not the House of his prisoners. Amen. Every good nation must open the House of your prisoners to release them from time to time. Satan's characteristics that he would never open the House of the prisoners. Actually Satan is very bad. Oh, now are you there? We must not become the Lucifer of Lighthouse. Write it down. Who will be the Lucifer of Lighthouse? Are you the Lucifer of Lighthouse Chapel? Say and write. Not me, minus me. Amen. When the people look at you, I want them to see Jesus. But unfortunately some people when they look at you they're going to see Satan mercy. But in Jesus name it will not be you. I said in Jesus name it will not be you. In Jesus name, it will not be you. If we are faithful, in some years to come we will be having another camp. Just as you see a lot of South Africans here today, we'll see a lot of Ethiopians. Ethiopia is like another continent in Africa because it's a different language from all the languages in Africa. Yeah, and, and, and a lot of South Africans are going to be involved in that. How many are going to be involved in that? Raise your hand confidently. Jesus name huh? How many would like to have a camp like this? Only Ethiopians. Hey. Ethiopian shepherds, Everything I say, they say it in America. Is it possible? It's possible if we are faithful and we don't allow a fire to come from within us to destroy us ourselves. If we are faithful, if we take our offerings, we will take offerings right here and pay for Ethiopia to come on board. When they are on board there we will be glad and they will also rise up and you see that they are saving the. Arab. World and maybe the Islamic thing will change and then there will be doors. Suddenly. Morocco, Saudi Arabia, this, it can change in one day. Just like how communism went, Islam can go suddenly and there will be a sudden period that anybody who believes in Christ can go and preach. As at now, it's more difficult to enter an Islamic country than a communist country because communism said there is no God for 70 years and God said in one day there is no communism and then it was over. Similarly, God can say there is nothing like Islam and it will just vanish and Christianity will have a free flow. Are you ready to be part of this great battle? The reason why I'm talking about Lucifer is that it is Lucifer in our midst who can cause. Confusion so that instead of thinking about Ethiopia. And thinking about other places where we need to give ourselves to so that we can. Stand with joy that as I'll be preaching one day, everybody in Ethiopians are like my color. All you even think I'm an Ethiopian? At an Ethiopian camp, it's possible that there are branches will be coming with buses from the towns in Ethiopia. Wow. Is it powerful that Christ, who died for us also died for them, and that God is making a way for us to enter and to do something, and that you, somebody like you and somebody like me should be used to do something over there? Is it not a powerful thing? Yeah, it's a blessing. That's why I'm here, you know I'm. Here because of. All these things that God wants to do, God is telling us that look, you have not even done 10% of your work. So that thing that was Asoya said, 7 is the prophetic number of what we have done, 7 out of 100. That's where we are. We are at 7 / 100 in terms of where we are getting to, but we can quickly get to 40 if we do one or two things. What do you think? Is there any shame? If we want to go to Ethiopia, there's no shame at all. I can scream here, there's no shame at all. Pastor Cliffy, when you when you are walking in Addis Ababa, there's no shame at all. I have to feel ashamed. You have some few Ethiopians you are talking. There is no shame. This is the beginning of the greatness of God's blessing, the greatness of His blessing and His favor, His allowance of his life and of His blessing. This is it, God's favor. When we get up and we say we are going, we don't know who they are. Why? That we know that there are people there and we know that Jesus Christ died for them and we are going there. We are going. Heaven knows where. We are going, we know we will. We will get there, Heaven, we are going. We will get there. And even when we get there, we do not be over. We will go again from there, somewhere else. Are you listening to me? More troops are coming into South Africa and some of you are troops and some of you, I'm going to send you away from South Africa because some of you are going to you do well out of your country where you are, where you are a visitor so that you have the visitors Aura, Shama Kayada, Amazola, Mandalabad. And when they see you say who are you? You mention your name. With the visitors aura. So I have come in the name of the Lord, I have come in the name of the Lord. And the people shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. I have. Noticed that the greatness of the power of God on my life is directly proportional to the distance from my house. The further I am away from the house, the more the power is. Are you there? I see a brightness coming up on your life. Somebody like you and somebody like me. God can use us. Hey, fantastic. You see, even in the world, they will take a Ghanaian and make him the managing director in Zambia. And they will take a Zambian and make him the managing director in Ghana. And they will take a Nigerian and make him a managing director in Ghana, and they will take a Kenyan and make him a managing director in Singapore. There's a reason because some of you are wondering why. That's why I have Zambians among my pastors at the Kodesh Congolese. Even the Congolese amongst us was in great danger on Sunday. This last Sunday, we have one Congolese brother. He was in great danger because Ghana was playing against Congo for the finals. He was the odd one out, the only one who are supporting Congo when the rest of us are supporting Ghana. So he is lucky that even I didn't know that the match was coming on, but there was no shouting in the country, so I could, because they scored us. You only know there's a match when they're shouting. You hear go, huh? Here was quiet. Ghana. Yeah, Ghana was quiet. You don't know that. They scored us. We played Africa Cup and we were second. There is no shame. If you don't know, there's no shame. Yeah, and then the ladies, you are going to be very good in ministry, too. Yeah, because God is healing you of your desire for men. He's healing you of that thing. He's giving you the mind and the heart of an elderly woman with much experienced. Yes, they are not going to be so impressive to you anymore. Even when you are not married. You see when that desires in you, no matter how old you are, you always want to marry. Oh yeah, there is no lady who doesn't unless you have been cured a bit of that thing. No matter what I do. Author called those who want to get married. You see they're 6472. They are all coming forward. Hey. One day a certain man, his wife died. He was, he was about 70 and his wife died suddenly. Aunties. Do you understand and say aunties? Elderly woman with clothes very big they were now scrambling for. Who shall be chosen among the elderly aunties with clothes and other big clothes that they were they've been walking around. They were now scrambling elderly women who are not married. They were now fighting over the 17 something year old. Brother whose wife had died. But I see some of you, you are only 20 something, 30 something, but God is curing you of that thing which even a 68 year old woman is not yet cured of the need for a man to lead you, but the Bible says that her desire shall be for him. But you, you, you, you, you can be cured of that thing, just like a man that the Bible says you are cursed to sweat for all your life, to eat bread. God can cure you of that thing where you will sweat, but not for bread, but for him. You're At first the work of God was Adam was just working for God, but when he fell, he started to work, to eat, to survive. There's a difference between working. I'm also sweating, but not not for bread. I don't even know how much bread costs. By the grace of God, I can buy enough bread to last for about a year. Somebody's about to give me a billion dollars. Here, right here. No, no, please send me. I need a billions. Send me billions, please. I'm I'm explaining me that I think I wanted you to tell you to bring some billions when you are coming at least one or two billion. I'm going to make as one of the wonders in my office. When you come for homecoming, you see $1 billion. Hey African leadership, forgive. Ladies, when you are cured, you, you'll be so powerful. Oh yeah, it'll be so great. Your preaching will be better than some of the preaching of the brothers. It's not, it's not about, it's not about girls versus boys. No, it's about realities of what God is doing. Because the Bible says that her, her, her heels shall bruise the serpent in the last. Hour. Women and children who are despised will be raised up and they'll be used powerfully. So I'm expecting some lady bishops in our church. Hey, why not? Why not? They said. No, we say, why not express yourself? You can't even do it here. Why not these guys? They don't want to do the way you call the ladies. That's that's how come ladies started to work with me, but the brothers wouldn't want to do it. And I used to say, if you listen to my mother, I don't believe in working with women. Yeah, as I knock at the big guys in my church, one time I asked my mother, will you come and work? You said if there is something to do, OK, there is something to do when there are 7 billion people in the world. You are asking me that if there is something to do, you can 7 billion in the world waiting to be saved. That is where ladies got the opportunity. When they saw, they said that the door was open, there was nobody. They started to come through like walking. I said welcome. I would never have chosen somebody like you. You may take your seat, Another one will come and say we have a lot of problems, please have your seat. There is no shame. One one day I met a certain brother. This brother could speak Spanish beautifully and I worked with him and I float very well with him. Then one day I said to my brother, I want you to come, come along so that we can work. I talked with him. I talked for a long time around innuendos, talking long. The final conclusion, He smiled at me and said sorry. Then the next, the next year, I met a lady who spoke Spanish. She said, I feel in my heart that I'm drawn to you, what God is doing. I said, really, I wouldn't have chosen somebody like you, but if you feel it in your heart, why not? There's no. Shame. So I said come along. So she said, I'll come to see what it's like in Ghana. So she came a year later. She came, no talking, just shooting now. Then as she packed her things, as she came to Ghana, she has translated all my books into Spanish recently. They went to when I went to Panama, she came along everything, books, thousands and thousands of books. She's selling, they sold. By the time I was leaving, there's almost 20,000 U.S. dollars worth of my books through her work. She translated or printed it. And she's strong. She's hard now. Look at you. I wouldn't have chosen you. When I look at you, I'll never choose you. And I put you through this assess, measure this, this, this, this, this, this. I look at you are disqualified. Now God will say, hey, you better open the door, please. No man wants to help you here. And then the girls passing. So they are the ones so so through her, the heel. Then I'm stamping. By now they are inviting me to Colombia, all kinds of places because of this person. But I had a man every job that a lady does for me. I can show you a man who didn't do it first. Yeah, every single job I can show you first was this person. I will not do it. Then this person came. So one day a certain brother who I had invited to come and work, he and he didn't come. He came to the office to come and visit me. When he came, there were some of these unwanted sisters who had come to work. Now they were the gatekeepers at the door, and when he saw one of them, he said, what are you doing? He said she said Please wait. He said what you know. Who I am. You know, when I joined the church, we look clear out of here. Before I I said please, you have to wait here. You cannot just come. You used to be very important. You were invited. You didn't want to come. Now we the unwanted. Ones we are in charge. Now will you sit down there before I organize police to come and clear you from here. There is no shame in sitting down, sit outside. And so ladies mean this is how I've seen that God is bringing you these brothers too known they're only playing basketball, having sex, going, following different things. Charlie, this is your chance when you see that they are some widows. That's how you get it. You get an opportunity, but all the jobs are men's jobs. You get it? Yeah, they are all men's jobs. All the jobs that my ladies do, they are all men's jobs. They don't want to do it. There is no shame. If those are the ones that the Lord has brought them, I shall flow with them fully. And those brothers who now come later to challenge them, I'll bring my AK47 and I say, brother, there is no shame in sitting down. Will you sit down before something bad happens to you? You may scream, but you have to sit down. So brothers, you see, you are allowing. Girls to take your place, they are retiring you. You must not be retired. I. Allow girls to retire you. I allow. Girls, to retire you from the ministry. I'm so afraid, full of fear, searching for money with a vision of whatever, what, what, what, what aim. I'm not getting. Anything to release yourself. Come and do something for the Lord. A woman's job is not making meat pies. Meat pies and sausage rolls. Who told you that? That is your job in the church, making sausage rolls, meat pies and tea and sweeping the office. Now there is more to your life. So that was a very important word for the ladies. Now Lucifer is a worship leader who didn't finish his ministry. Amen. Now let us notice a few Luciferic points in Ezekiel. Thou sealest of the Psalm, verse 12, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, Amen. Once you are nice, you got to be careful, Amen. And when you have had various experiences, you got to be careful, Amen. But before I get into Lucifer, I want to, but I can still use Lucifer as a good example of that is that Lucifer was given a job as an assistant and I believe that we must be good assistants, Amen. So I want to share with you what is going to make you a good worship leader and a good assistant, Amen. Do you want to be that? OK, OK, OK, good #1. Mention your senior pastor often. Mention his name often. Why don't you just get your book and then you can? You don't have to write notes because I'm just reading from the book to you. You have your book, you want to buy one or after you have it at home. But you should have two copies, 1 spare for when you lose the main one, and then bring your room service. Come and sell it to them. Some of them want to buy now room service. If you want one, raise your hand and then they'll bring it to you so you don't have to write notes quickly, quickly. If you want one, raise your hand. I don't know how much it is you want it free. Raise your hand if you want it. But when you call it give, you call it the manual special arrangement for payments. This is not a mortgage. Please, ladies, I want you to be preachers, OK? What do you think? Is it a powerful thing? Will you do it? A lot of people don't respect you, but I respect you. And I know God likes you very much. Yeah, because you are more loyal. Ladies are more loyal, more faithful. A man changes his job about four to six times in his life, but a woman, when she gets her hand job, she will be at the job forever. Not even spiritual jobs, but in in employment law, it has been shown that women will stay at the same job. If you get a job and the person treats them well and not even the money, they just stay there. But a man is always looking for something. Changing jobs, changing jobs, changing jobs. Well, he's looking for something. He wants to get to the top quickly. Mercy. So even in the church. In the natural they are more faithful, and in the church also they are faithful. Sisters, are you glad that there's something good about you? OK, make mention of your senior pastor often and in a favorable light. Amen. OK, how many have noticed that I keep mentioning the pastors names and I mention it in a good way, Isn't it? So gradually it makes you have a good feeling about the pastors, the various pastors, How many understand what I'm talking about? But you see, you can mention the pastor has a good example of a bad example. You can mention the past as a good example of a bad example. So mention your part. If you want to be a good assistant, you always say now if you're in South Africa, you have to say, as Reverend Jake said, Reverend Jake said this, all the bishops said this, you mentioned anything. It shows also that you are not just sent by heaven. That's sent by somebody. And where you are is temporary, just as where I am is temporary. How many are permanent when God is has not put any of us here, permanent. Somebody is permanent. Who is permanent over there. Angel police take him up quickly. Angel police take him up. You say you are permanent. He's changed his mind. OK, OK, He's. Temporary. He's a permanent church member. OK, OK, all right, OK, OK, OK #2 cut your head. Pasta often. Amen. Mention or if is the Bishop you mentioned, as Bishop said Bishop said is. Have you not noticed I mentioned Bishop Duncan Williams? I mentioned his name. I mentioned Kenneth Hagin. I mentioned Ring Joyner. You cannot listen to me preaching without hearing mention of certain names of real people that you can touch and feel in a positive way and quoting what they said, some of these things that we laugh about. Will say, what have you been through? What have you? It's that Bishop Duncan Williams, who's structure, who said these things, different things that he says to me. One day I was talking to him on the phone and he was talking about some of his pastors. He said I'm tired of being like Noah. I said, what is I'm tired of being like Noah. I said no, I'm doing what I said, sending out a bed which never comes back. Are you listening? So a good assistant you will hear him. When a person has bad assistant, he doesn't mention names. Oh no no, no, he. It is he who is. Great. It is he who knows he is the original source of everything. He doesn't want you to know that what he's teaching you got it from somewhere that he has just put in a microwave and he's bringing it to you. A certain lady wanted to make a party and she went and got some chicken, checking the lights and she was making it and then the people came. And they were eating, one person said. Ah, is it not KFC that we are eating? She has tried to modify by the cotton. So The thing is Kentucky. Fried chicken that. You have changed into this thing instead of telling us that I am going to buy some KFC so that we. Eat. You have made that. Oh, I have prepared some checking the lights checking licking the lights your mouth like checking licking the lights KFC that you have bought. So as you are preaching these nice messages and nice thing that you are saying it comes from somewhere, it's the origination of the thing. There is no shame. There is no shame at all and mention it where you got it from. That's it. There is no shame. That's what they told Rambo when they were going to put in the on the electrical. Wires. And they were telling just before they tested, there is no shame at all. You may scream there is no shame. And when they bent in the electrician, they say you are strong, very strong, the strongest so far. Rashmi on off #3 genuinely admire your pastor and praise him often. And I mean every single one of these words. I'm saying you must admire your pastor genuinely, not I mean superficially. When I admire Kenneth Hagin or I admire some of the people that I mentioned, it's not pretentious. It's, it's real. And you can see when you listen to somebody talking, you see that the person genuinely likes. If I talk about Bishop Danka, when did you realize that? I generally like the person. I'm fond of him. His troubles concern me. I I I try to do anything I can do to help his life. In one time he was hassle problem. I saw they take picture of me and put it on your newspaper. Yeah, I would. Like to join him in the troubles. Do you get it? It must be genuine. Nothing the service should have. Generally, the service should admire our pastor. So now if we don't smile, there's trouble. No, you should smile by force. You're much like a frog. Number four, introduce your pastor in an exciting way and make positive or complimentary remarks about everything that he has preached. Did you get it? Introduce your pastor in an exciting way and make positive remarks about whatever he's saying. One day I was going to preach somewhere. Yeah. OK, so you made positive remarks one day, a sudden pastor. Finished preaching and the pastor who had welcomed you see, this pastor had been transferred to this other pastors church and this pastor who was there before was not happy that the new pastor had come. It's like how Pastor Jake has come and then Pastor Clufu is here. And if Pastor Clufu is not happy that Pastor Jacob has come. So that was what how it was. That's not the situation here, but that was the situation there. So when the finished, the pastor finished preaching. The new one. Then the old pastor got up and said that was Kabungam. What is Kabungam? Then he asked the people why you not blessed? Why you not blessed? Tabunga is the guy mad or what? You see? It was like, can't you see? It's like it's, it's nothing. He didn't even know what to say. Tabunga He couldn't find English words anymore. Tabunga, would you clap? It's like we all know the preaching is done now, but let's pretend. Then let's club #5 announce the visit or arrival of your pastor with excitement. When your pastor is coming or the Bishop is coming or whoever is coming, you announce it with excitement. One day I was going to preach at the camp and they said Bishop is coming for a camp meeting. You know our Bishop, what is going to preach? Kill yourself for Jesus. So he told the people. Don't say that because my Bishop is coming to bring. Kill yourself for Jesus, you won't come to the camp. Oh, kill yourself for Jesus. Kill yourself for Jesus. Is that, is that what I've been preaching? Kill yourself for Jesus. You see, that's how somebody has summarized all my breaching. My whole ministry has been summarizing. Kill yourself for Jesus. When you say that, ah, you know our man. Coming, everybody come full time, full time Pharaoh, Pharaoh Pharaoh 1 pass, one passer said. Oh, his Bishop is preaching against legitimate work, honest work. People are working honestly and I'm preaching against their honest, legitimate work that they are doing. That's why that person who said that is not in our church again today, because the evil spirit that was in him was making him speak negative. You cannot summarize all my preaching in that. I am the same person. Who wrote a book on lay people at the ministry? And I've also written a book on full time ministry. Why should I not write the one about full time when I wrote the one about lay ministry? There is no shame if you cannot be full time. There is no shame if you cannot be full time. You may scream that we will still be full time and some of us will die for Jesus and some of us will kill ourselves for Jesus. How many are ready to kill yourself for Jesus? Why number six Do not become a receiver of complaints. You see, there are some things that should not be able to be said to you. One day I want to preach somewhere and the pastor was introducing me. He had been transferred from somewhere to somewhere and he was now at a new place. And then he he said something. But it should not have disturbed me, but it disturbed me. But the reason why he disturbed me was he said that when he was transferred he was asked to come. He said a lot of people. Came to him and told him, this one dear don't go, this one is pull him. Down as also I was sitting there, he was introducing me and was saying how what a blessing it has been for him to come and that he's so glad that he. Moved and he came when I asked him to come and I have influenced like all his life since he got from the time he got saved. I said that that word pull him down. Pull who down from where to where? Am I pulling the present down? And why would I pull somebody that I have pushed up all these years? You see. But what is wrong with that is that that somebody can be able to. Say it to you. To your ears, Yeah, No, he did not receive it. But that the person can say, you see, there is the ability to say it is different from to even believe it. So if you believe it, he wouldn't have said it. But what you must realize that there was something extra that the fact that somebody can even say something like that to you to even make such a remark, that is pull him down. Pull him down. Why, You see, so you must not be a receiver. You should not be a people that you cannot come and say something to me about Bishop Saki. Why? Why do? What are you coming to say? It doesn't even happen. I mean, it doesn't happen. And I realized that as it gets closer and so on, as you get closer and you work at a certain board, people can say certain things to you. So you also equally get cut off from certain things. But if you are somebody whose house is a meeting place is, whose house is a place of discussion, whose car in which there are discussion, a mention of pastors in a negative or neutral light, neutral, not even negative, neutral, neither good nor evil, you are in a dangerous situation, my dear friend. The fact that they can say it. So you, you cannot say this. You see, one time I was. Travelling and there was a pastor who another man of God in in Ghana. He was also can we pass through the VIP lounge when we are going. So his this other church pastor came and went through and went on one flight and then I also came and then I also went on one flight. Then the protocol guy who was dealing with the other church man of God told my pastor Prince. He told him that Doggies has come. There So what did what did he say so Doug is going on he said that you your pastor did I do I call him do I mention his first name and say such and such Sammy is going here or John is doing well then my pastor you just say Doug is whatever and from that day there were two guys one up to today has never spoken to him again and the other guy came back later and said I want. To thank you for how you corrected me and in fact I met that guy just while I was travelling and he told me this is the guy that I told him that you cannot. Speak like that. In the kind of just casual way about my father, I said. Your father came to pass just now. We didn't say any casual statement about him. Mention his first name as if he's our common friend, says Sammy is going. Look at Sam. Sammy. He's always carrying heavy bags or something, no? No, my father is coming. You call the state that look at that is that is passenger. He said let this be your baby last time and from that day you will not be your friend again. And that is how loyalty is. A lot of people cannot be your friends if you are loyal. If you are really loyal people, certain people cannot be your because they cannot talk. That discussion cannot come. Oh, that is all. It cannot come on in your prayer, not that even you agree, but that that discussion is coming on where you are located. Somewhere you tell the person, my friend, this is your last time. One day I was somewhere with a certain pastor and this certain pastor was talking to me and he was talking about my friend and I was telling you how my friend is close to me and he's working with me and he gave me a proverb. He said, oh, don't mind that guy. I said, oh, why then he gave. Me a proverb, he said. Kokodenne does not jump on the lawn in the afternoon without a good reason. Do you understand it? No. Kokodenne is a frog, so a frog does not jump on the green grass. In the afternoon, unless there is a good reason, because normally you will not see the cockadene jumping on the lawn, it is hiding in the night, then it will pass through some gatta. Or on the side somewhere. Then you go back, bright daylight on the green grass lawn. You see a cockadene going like this. It has seen something. Either something is chasing it or it has seen something that it is following. So what he was. Trying to tell is that that man is not your friend for nothing. He's. Getting. Some benefits by being your friend. So he is the Cordeni who is jumping on agree on the lawn. So I said I'm going to tell my friend and I told my friend. They say you are Cordeni jumping on the grass. So my friend was very, very upset with that. He was a Cordonian. He didn't like it at all. So he went and challenged the guy and the guy who said it came and telling me that why should I say something like that? And I told him, if you like, say another one and I will go and tell him that one too. If you like, open your mouth and say another one, I'll say. There is no shame. You may scream, but I will say it you. Cannot make yourself a receiver of complaints. They cannot make certain discussions in your presence. Period. One time somebody came to work with me. I told him that there are only two ways your job here will go. 1 is that gradually certain people will become further away from you and you become closer to me or you become closer to them. And I said the way you know is that when you go to certain places, they will keep quiet and they will not talk when you are there. When you go, they will speak, but when you come? It's like I have come so they can't say certain things. Yeah. So you have to choose which group. Do you want to belong? To the upper group or that group which talks, if you are a loyal assistant, certain words cannot be said about Pastor Jacob, Pastor Klufio, any of the pastors who is said. You can't. It cannot be said in your prayer. You call yourself an assistant pastor and you allow loose light church members, loquacious church members, to speak about things they don't understand and make comments which are even neutral, not negative, neutral. I'll not even go to the negative neutral statements like you know our man. What do you call us? Our man today you must rather say my darling pastor, yeah, you must love your pastor so my people will think you are in love with him. When the assassin has he began to jump in? You are in love with the pastor. Hey. #7 you must find genuine excuses for any lapses in your head. Pasta now. All of us double says we all make many mistakes so as I'm preaching now, I'm making some mistakes, I make mistakes, I have mistakes in my life I've. Seen. I'm a human being. Amen. And so is every pastor, you understand. So an assistant is there to cover the mistakes or any lapses if you like. So if your pastor has not even he preached too long and somebody is saying nowadays it's too long, you have to cover and say, look, you have to tell the person there are times for long preaching and there are times for short preaching. And this particular season has been a time for long preaching. We will not shut your mouth and let this be the very, very last time. It should be the last. Time that you should say something like this and if you say something like that again and gradually such people are pushed to the background. Hey, maybe your pasta is always late. When you say he said six, but you know our man, he will be here at 8:00. But anyway, in the meantime we can worship the Lord. So why don't you lift up your hands and let's worship the Lord? Is it a nice thing to say? Rather you have to say, you know that he's late. Rather you have to say, look, you see, he's waiting on the Lord, our pastor, as he waits on the Lord, and he prepares to come and give us the word of the Lord. Today I want us to be in worship and just enter the presence of God. And let's create the atmosphere so that when he comes, there will be a total flaw. Whatever God has told him. Maybe, you know, he's a sleeper, but you come and say whatever God has told him. I. One day I went to a setting conference in Orlando. In Orlando, Florida, you know who was speaking at the conference? Benny Hinn. I went in the night. He came. I was sitting on stage and I was supposed to see him, but they told me tomorrow morning you can see he came with a motorcade, police cars, everything in America. So after I was at the backstage, because I was sitting on stage and I was at backstage waiting, but I couldn't see him. So he went. They said tomorrow morning. So the next day they came and I was leaving that night service, 9:00 in the morning. So we were there. I think I was with Pastor Joel. Was I with Pastor Joel? Yeah. So we came 9:00 and then I didn't come ten. Yeah, I didn't come 11 Then we were worshiped. I am the Lord. We were singing and singing and singing and singing. 11:30 Then he doesn't come. Then his brother came and he made another. I went to call him and he just turned around in his bed. He said he was sleeping. He said he's tired, he cannot come. I couldn't believe my ears. 1012 thousand people were sitting there. Someone to call him. You know how it is, he said. You know how it is. He said. I won't come. He's dead. He's just rolled over in the bed. He's sleeping. Yeah, he said it. He said it's not that somebody said it. No. Yeah, Yeah, no. You see, it's a way of talking. They said, Oh, but you know, let's just, I mean, God is still here. This come on, lift your heart. Let's also say, I mean, even though whatever. So tonight, tonight, come tonight, Oh. And the night, the night the place was packed again. Because if God is anointing on somebody, even when somebody's make a funny whatever and the person look a little whatever. Sometimes when you assist and you'll be put in an odd situation because you are assisting a human being and the human being can make things odd, but it's your duty to maybe you say something else. You know, sometimes we come for a service and we are looking to men, but let's look to God. Even if the man is not around, God is still here. Lift your hand OK in Jesus name. I'm sure tonight when you come God will touch you. Bye bye everybody goes. So if you are a good assistant learn to cover. Americans who say cover their ass. Excuse me to say there is no shame. I say he's always late. He's sleeping. Oh. No fire #8 When your senior pastor is unable to attend, you must inform the parties concerned that he intended to be there himself, but he could not make it because of very important what reasons. Even if he sleeps, he's an important reason. Amen #9 Let's say I couldn't come for the camp. I I come late. Why? I want to kill me because I came late. No man #9 always remind the congregation that you are not the main pastor exited. Tell them Jesus was like that. In John chapter 3 verse 28 he said I or John the Baptist. I said I am not the Christ. I am sent. You must say the church is not for me. I've been sent. It makes you more power. People listen to you more when they realize there's somebody over you like you are. You also just take instructions #10A good assistant tells his admiring congregation where he learnt all that he knows. Amen. Jesus said the Son can do nothing of himself but what he said the Father do. That's number 11. When you minister to church members, let them know that what you are doing is actually being done on behalf of the Head and not on your own behalf. Amen. When you go and do something nice, you tell them Bishop wanted so much to come and see you himself and he was thinking about you. So he said I should give you this to encourage you about the wedding or the funeral or this or that. You don't go and say, well, our man as usual, he doesn't come for our social functions. So I have come anyway and take this and be encouraged. It is well with you. What do you mean by that? As the church is growing, you think you can go for everything On Saturdays we have multiple weddings, funerals, everything combined and you follow all those things you cannot. So you must learn to be good assistants. Amen. Welcome Grace to sing a song for us. How many know that people will never see Jesus, but they will see you? People will never hear Jesus voice, but they will hear your voice. Sing it. If not in you, I wonder where will they ever find one who really cares? And if not from you, how will they find? There's one who hears the broken heart, your side to the blind, 'cause you're the only Jesus some will ever see, and you're the only words of life some will ever read. So let them see. And you, the one in whom is all they'll ever need, 'cause you're the only Jesus, some will ever the sea. And did not you, I wonder? If not, if not, you and it will. Show them love and love alone can make things new. If not from you, how will they learn? This one will trend that hopelessness for joy in return. Because you're the only Jesus some will ever see, and you're the only words of life some will ever read. So let them see in you the Word in whom is all they'll ever leave. You're the only Jesus some will ever see, and you're the only words of life some will ever read to let them see. And you born in whom is all they'll ever need, 'cause you're the only Jesus. Oh, you're the only Jesus somewhere. Wow, you are the only Jesus some will ever see, isn't it? Are they not beautiful songs in the world? Amen. Now, now, now, where are we? Number what, 12? Be genuinely happy at the promotion of your pastor. Amen. Don't be secretly thinking that, huh? Monkey de wec baboon de chop. We are the ones doing the real work and he gets all the glory. Huh. No. You don't have to think that way. You. Must be happy. If your pastor is being promoted, be excited about it. Be glad about it. If you are an assistant, if you are a worship leader, if you are in the church, you must be happy about the great things that God is using your pastor to do. And your pastor comes to church, then he calls, some people come forward, 2 of you come, and then two of you come and stand here. Ushers, Ushers, come this way. Now lift your hand. Take it. Go down. Take it down. Power of God is flowing, and then you, the assistant, you'll be sitting there thinking he's pushing people around. An assistant pastor. There's no power you are saying here. There's no power here. You are just pushing people around. It's not a nice way of thinking. Is it a nice thing when your assistant pastors are thinking that way? Get up, Take your 4 chairs where my 4 pastors sit on stage here one day. Just a temporary translocation when I started to have miracle services. Sit down and sleep. Adjust yourself asleep. I was having a miracle service and these were my fastest on the stage. They had all fallen asleep and I was saying receive it. God is stealing you. Somebody over there and the pastors were asleep. So when I will be ministering, when I look back and I see them asleep, asleep, when I see them sleeping then I become so disguised like they are not. Impressed with me, you understand the people are impressed by. It's like the people don't know much and we, we know much. We know you and we know the vessels you are operating by. We are not impressed though. We are falling asleep. Oh, is it nice to have your main pastor? So because of that, I moved all the chairs from the stage and I put plants. The plants, they don't sleep, they don't fall asleep. They don't give any bad face. I will look clear from there. Come on. Up the stage, there is no shame. Come back to earth an assistant who is not genuinely happy, a man with the promotion. Somebody has fallen down, somebody has healed, somebody's healed. And you'll be thinking to yourself, these are not healings. These are minor, minor, minor, psychosomatic. Healings. These are psychological healings. As you are sitting there you are saying that it's a psychological healing your mouth like psychological healing. If I was to have been following people like you with psychological thinking in my. I will not be here today. I've passed through all those things. I've seen all those thoughts in people's head now, don't let it move me. And that's why I wrote that book Science and wonders why God heals and what does God heal? Why God does not heal everybody. I explained and explained and explained and explained hey, until I saw the dead rays. Cripples walking blind eye scene. You should see me at some of the Crusades Charlie. You see the anointing is flowing mucho anointing. My fastest will be sleeping. You are not impressed, so I go far. Now you'll be laying hands on people. They will not be falling down. See. They are not going one day. They are strong, very strong. One day I went to Argentina. Hey, it was like there was lightning coming out of my fingers. As I say, the further you go from your house address measure the distance and you see the power that is in you people were just somebody came in up. I was sitting down finished which I was sitting down came with his wife. Please. What did you prefer? I just, they just like that. Oh, look at that person and. They went under the Table, 2 of them and only their legs. The two legs were. Outside. So the pastor came into the room and we saw what are these? What's this? Their heads were deep inside and their legs were outside. Power like, like me. Meanwhile, my pastors to do. Have you seen them so? You are sleeping when I'm ministering the power of God. How do you think the power of God can flow? It's like you are not impressed with all these things. Number what, 13? Ensure that everything is well with your head. You see. Has he got a seat? Is he comfortable? Give up your chair if necessary. Ensure that he's acknowledged, not that if you are older than him when you are older than your pastor in the. Church it's not by age. Can you imagine if we started to say the most senior most now in the church is by height? We are using height to determine pastor. I should stand up and let us see how look if we are using so many people. Will not be. It's so short. You cannot use the wrong parameters to say that. That's how we operate in the church height. We use it for long jump or 100 meters or something but. Not in the church, Yeah, Basketball and the church. We. Don't use height, we don't use age. Sit down. You can sit down and sure, my, my father-in-law, he's 88 years old. When I go to him, the kind of respect that he shows to me one day he was, I think 80 or 85, He had a party in his house and invited all the Methodist bishops. They were all there in his house, but they had Methodist for years, so. When I went, I just went to sit at the back there somewhere at the back of the house, the garden. And he said, why is that? And when he's talking inside something, he told me I cannot speak to you. And he said because you are my, my Bishop. He brought me to come and sit by him. Here are the Methodist Bishop and here I am all the Method Bishop were wearing their collar, everything. I was just in my shirt. Cooley moving out the back there with moving out the back with the. Children and the grandchildren. I don't see myself as a Bishop in the house. I see myself as children and grandchildren and in laws. He brought me up there. No Bishop must be here. The kind of respect. And he's 80 something years old. He could have given birth to me three times in his life, but he has the respect that it's not my age when it comes to spirituality. And he always says through you our prayers, through you our prayers, we are here through you our prayers tell someone through you our prayers. Through you, our prayers, through your prayers. And we are still alive. The doctor has not diagnosed anything. 88 He's walking like this, free. He can move, do everything, come up, down, travel. He has money. He gives us money when we come. We have never given my father any money before. I don't have such respect. God is a rich man. At the age of 90, he's richer than us. Through your prayers, Your prayers. There's no shame if at the age of 88 you need money from your children. But he does not need it. Just Saturday. Saturday. I was in his house. He took money always. He'll be dish. You give him here for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He likes to do that. You when you are even 60, will you have money in your pocket? Or even 40 or 50? Even now. Now cry. You are fresh like that. There's nothing. Surely you don't have money? So don't think about your your your pastor as in terms of age or height or passports or colour. No #14 be genuinely excited at the arrival and the involvement of your head pastor in any function. Don't see his visits as an intrusion or a bother. Don't see his informants something that is disturbing. Why every day come, go, come. Are we wondering why all these are signs of? Bad assistance. One day I went somewhere and I saw one of our pastors. I called him. I said come to for a meeting. I need to see you. And when I got there, he wasn't there. At 6:00 I told him I'm going somewhere. I'll be there at six. Come travel from where you are. Come. I'm meeting you. 6:00 He was not there. 7:00 He was not there. 8:00 He was not there. 9:00 He was not there. 10:00 He was not there. And I was leaving the next day. 11:00 he was not there. So I went. It was raining. I went into a telephone booth and I picked the phone. I called his house. When I called his wife, his wife, When I called his house, his wife answered. I said, why is pastor so? So I I told him to come. I'm meeting with him. Yeah. I need to see him. I've come all the way from Ghana. I need to see him, tell him to come. Why? Why is he he? Said, oh, he wasn't feeling well. I'm here because I had been told when I got I said he's not feeling well so he's not coming. So when I got there and said, oh, he went out, not that he was the one who is going well has gone out and it's. Not. Coming at 11:00, so he's just coming through the door. So I said let me speak to him. So I spoke to him. I said ah. I have come all the way from Ghana. I said come and meet you. I want to meet to discuss because the church you are pastoring, it's not for you, it's for all of us and you are under authority. I said come for a meeting, I need to see you. I said, ah, one of our church members, something happened, so I went to visit them. That's why I didn't come. I said, look, he's not only going to visit members and doing all, but doing all the things that is important, but also reporting to the higher authority which sent you is also important. Say, ah, when you tell us to do one thing and we are doing it, that is, I've taught you to visit people when they are sick or when they have problems. When you tell us to do one thing, I'm not even, I'm not making up the story. I'm telling you what he said. So when you tell us to do one thing, we are doing it, Then you come and say we should do another thing. I said, what do you mean? What do you mean? You say you must not see the arrival of your head pasta as an intrusion or a disturbance or a harassment or some kind of disturbance to whatever disruption to your programs. What do you mean your pastor called? She said you told us to do visitation. You said we should pray visitation. When somebody said somebody's dead, we should go. We are doing why? We are doing that one to you. I was calling us come and do this and why do you want us to? Come for your church. No wonder this person is not a member of our church again today separated himself and collected some of our members. You can see that's I said a good assistant and you watch them all these things. As I've come here, I'm not. I'm not disturbing Pastor Jake. I'm not disturbing Kezia. I'm not disturbing Klufio. I'm not disturbing any of you guys who are here. How can I be a disturbance to you? Why am I disturbing you? You should come. You don't close early. You should come. And since we come and since you are not what what is wrong with you? There is something evil I tell you, Satan is. There is a fire. Those words you see there is the fire that is coming out of Lucifer, and that fire is what destroys you. Are you listening to me? Yes. It cannot be a disturbance if I tell Grace to sing and she starts to, you know, with my hands and stop, and I start preaching. I should start saying when I start, then you stop, Stop, start, stop. Why? You are disgusting me. What does that say? What it means? Your replacement is coming just now. Your replacement is just warming up on the touchline like this, ready to come. You see her just now says say stop. He says what should I say? Stop what? A loyal assistant, be genuinely excited at the arrival and also at the involvement of your head pasta in any function that you are performing #15 Honor your pastor's wife as well. Minister to her and give her gifts. If you have a pastor's wife, you cannot say ask for me. I don't talk to the pastor's wife, you know, That's his wife. I'm very, she's very funny. She's very funny, you know? This woman, this woman I I just want to deal with directly with the pastor. If you love the pastor, you must love the pastor's wife. You must love anybody that the pastor is working with. When you don't like the people you are making a mistake. Are you listening to me? Ask your neighbor do you like your pastors wife or there is a fire in your Lucifer belly? Is there a fire in your Lucifer belly loose in Jesus name Matthew? Chapter 10. Verse 40. He that receiveth you, receiveth me. Amen #16. Regard Amen your association with your head pasta as a learning experience anytime you are with your head but. Learn something. Amen. Hallelujah. If you are the camp regarded as a learning experience, you are learning something. You are even learning how to preach. Yes, you are learning other things that you don't know about. Did you get it? Yes. So regarded as a any time you have a time to do learn something. Don't see you see your viewpoint. Depends on your point of view. You can either look at something and say it's half full or half empty. Half full and half empty are both true. But it depends. You are a negative minded person when you say it's half empty and you are a positive minded person when you say it is half full. So regard your association and interaction as a learning experience. One day I was with a certain pastor. In a certain country and we were driving on a certain Rd. And I was discussing with this pastor. He was talking about his blessings that the Lord has. Given to him. But I remember that little journey. It took us about maybe an hour. But as I drove with him, I talked with him. I said certain things to him, but I didn't know that he took them so seriously. Those little few minutes made him do certain things, make certain investments, make setting payments, do certain things that up till today he's very glad and even people asked him where he got the ideas from. Yeah, you should regard your few minutes of association. As a learning experience of some sort. One day 2 pastors came to the cathedral and they saw me preaching. One of them on the same Sunday later said was talking say ah, this is the same thing that you preached last week. It's like it's repeating. Then another pastor who was there made a comment about the same message that oh, the message was very exciting. We're really blessed and he seems you are very relaxed when you are preaching here. So he was now learning so many things and so on. And then one of them one, as I said, I realized that you have suits because you have never seen me wearing a suit before, suit and tie, but you have not seen me wearing one before. Every time he sees me, I wear the same thing. So you see. Everybody's seen something different. Somebody's seen that I. Never knew that you had a suit. Blue, grey, Grey. I've not seen something before. Somebody said it's an exciting message. Another person says repeat last week message. So is he us, you out there you you the same thing. Somebody is sitting there learning something. Another person is sitting there and criticizing something or saying something wrong or something neutral. One day I was on a certain plane with Bishop Duncan Williams. That's the first and only time I've ever flown with him. We have on the same flight coming, I think, to Ghana. So he was sitting on the left and I was sitting on the right. So in the middle of the flight, I went to where he was sitting. I went to sit by him to chat with him a bit. Yeah. So as I sat there for some time, I was chatting with him. I got to like him even more when I said I didn't go to dislike him more. I got to like him more. It was his birthday and I, I, I, I bless. And then the people were passing by and he, he said he, he bought me a watch, watch for travelling, he said. Nice watch, expressive watch to wear. I treasured that watch because he bought it for me. He bought it so I like the watch. But I don't normally wear watches. I have a phone, but I don't need a watch. There is no shame. Are you there? Yeah. My few minutes I felt I learnt something and I I like him more. I could have our man, our man in action, or mouth like a frog as your neighbor is your mouth like a frog or is.

As I'm preaching here, I can point out people who listen to tapes and CD. Yeah. I can point out people who listen to tape and those who do not. I can see all of them close. That is not by texting, it's not by phoning, it's not by calling, it's not by seeing, it's not by eating. It's by the words. It is by being close with what the person is saying and doing. That's that's what makes you close. You see that your heart is with the person. Seem like that as soon as you meet, you instantly connect. Yes, I'm close to Pastor Richard. I don't rarely text him. I rarely call him as soon as I call him as if I've been talking to him since yesterday. Closest not bye texting is great. There's that.

I'll delete the 1000 thousand like that. Some of you are so blessed when somebody sends you a text because nobody remembers you forgive. There is no shame. You may scream, OK, OK, OK. How many are going to acquire your pastors tapes now? Not only my tapes If your pastor preaches in your church, Pastor Jacob preaches. Pastor Andy preaches and the CDs available. Buy it unless if you're the assistant pastor, don't buy who is going to buy it in the church. They should also listen to it and they should buy listen to what has been preached, what the pastor preached. They should buy it. And you're the assistant pastor. You should get up on stage and say something positive about the message, even if you knew it already. Maybe he shared it with you before he. Came and preached. Maybe he was practicing it on you. Hey, are you there? OK, OK, OK #18 in your preaching, do not hesitate to refer to your pastor as an example of a successful person. Amen. Refer to your pastor as a successful as an example of a successful person. Don't use your pastor as a bad example. It's an example of somebody that is doing something that is not good. What do you think? Is it good or it's not good #19 Flow with the decisions and the policies made by the head pasta, even if you have a different opinion. Flow with the decisions, the policies, the opinions made by your head pasta, even if you have a different opinion. Because in on every issue there are different opinions. You know, something surprised me. One day there was a certain pasta in my church and there's no more in the church. Anyway, such people, you can see they are on their way out. I was. Start. I started. Building the Kodesh but as we were building the I wanted to build. More branches because my heart is more in the branches than in the headquarters. And he disagreed. He felt I shouldn't waste time on the branches. I should rather build the main church. Do you see that is his opinion and he has not started it. He has not founded any church before. He has not done any of these things before. And he has that opinion and I respect that opinion. But I'm the leader of the church and if I want to build churches, foundations, right now, for instance, we are building 100 churches in the north at the same time where Islam is moving, we are building the structures because the structures are necessary. Over there is a desert area. So we are doing some small tests, 5 by 1012 by this, this by that, we are building them, the hundreds of them. Somebody may say what are you wasting your time? Why are you doing this? That's also my opinion and I'm entitled to one opinion under the United Nations Charter of Freedom. What do you think? Is it not my human rights to to if I want to build a church in the north of Ghana? Why not even if you have a different opinion, so we should rather. Build a a big church in Johannesburg. Yeah, one day we will build a big church there, but. Right now this is. What we are doing? What do you think? Is it a good idea if we decide that we want to buy our church building or build a church in Port Elizabeth and so we should rather get a bigger church at Sunnyside? We should rather get a bigger because we are not able to fit there and we want another and say look, we can do either do Sunnyside or Pretoria or whatever or we can do Port Elizabeth and we said we want to do PE, but that's not your opinion. But you, if you are a good assistant, you must flow with the opinion even if it is against your opinion. So that when you are the leader and you have an opinion and we have to choose one, when we choose the leaders of it, we will flow with your idea. What do you think? How many are going to be good assistance from today? How many realize you have not been sad good assistance? Amen. OK, there is no shame. OK? No #20 a good assistant does not establish a private side fellowship in the church. Small fellowship, You've established your new ministry in the church. One day a certain pastor formed a club in the church. He said the club is called David's Club. I said, what is David's club? We don't have any David's Club. You have formed David's club in the church. What is David's club? Or maybe you are a shepherd in the church and you form a special group. Maybe you are Mozambican and you are living in South Africa. You have formed a Mozambican group. You are a Mozambican shepherd. You have formed a special Mozambican fellowship somewhere. Even your person doesn't know that Sunday evenings you always have Mozambican fellowship. To win a war. You must become war. We declare war on all such fellowships. You cannot be a pastor. Look, one day one of our pastors, he started a church. All the members of the church were. From is it Romania or Hungary or somewhere? Poland, hey. After a short time, he had about 80, 200 Polish members in the church. He used. To send text message Bishop church growth made. Easy. Hey. He was so happy doing the work of God in England because the Church has suddenly. Grown all these Polish white people. And one day the music leader started to have music meetings on the side, private worship meetings. What meeting are you having? We are doing something. What did you say? Oh, nothing is OK. That's why if you are a missionary, you must learn the language so that they will not say. What are they saying? Oh, nothing is OK. No, they say, we shall catch him tonight. We shall catch him tonight. Can you believe this, worship leader? He organized this private meeting. When the guy challenged him at the point and said what you are doing, so he said everybody to his tent. He collected the entire chest. The pastor was stepped with two people. He was so hard, but he took all the Polish people and started the church there. Then after some time, the hall that he was using, the man came. The Rangu worship leader came to displace him from the actual hall. He said that his members are more so the person who rented. Also, your people are just two. This man, his people are about 80. So clear off so that this man will come there. Yeah. So that's what private fellowships, so we are just. Having a private meeting. Is that a primary of our work? Is that a prime is a prophetic? You see the prophetic, one of my brothers, my brothers in law is a prophet and he has come from this is Madagascar. And so he has come, and it's my he's coming to do some prophetic all night in my house. To win a war. So we we don't accept all those things. So if any of you is holding any such private, we said that we are having a Zulu meeting, its Zulu language service Tulsa meeting is it? Tulsa People who like that thing in South Africa, which group like those type of our our brothers and our sisters, they marry themselves, they help themselves, they like themselves. It is which group? Tulsa. Lifestyle change. In every country we have a tribe that is like that in Ghana. The Airways, when they see their brothers and their sisters, they can easily form a fellowship and you'll be outside. They don't like it when I say, but I will. Say they can help themselves. Who? One day one of my pastors, a certain man came to look for him and the boy in his house was an airway. Who was his house help or was working in his house? And that guy was a good worker. So when the guys came, said you want to the pastor, I want to know where his house is. I want to know where his house is. He said you cannot come to the pastor's house. I'm sorry. If you want to say the pastor, I have to come to the church. So go to the church. And he showed him the way to the church. So my pastor was very happy with this. He really understands how to protect the house and all that. So one day he was in the house, then he saw a strange person moving around somewhere. So he called the boy and said who is that brother? Who is that guy? He said, oh, I saw him in the chat, but I didn't know him. He said he didn't have anywhere to stay. So I brought him to the house. He is his brother, his tribal brother, the one that he saw who was looking for The Who was even the pastor's present. I'll not show you the way. To the house. But this one, who he himself didn't know, but only that it is his brother from the tribe, he said, Oh, even though I don't know you, you, you come to the. Pastors are old, accommodating. He was in the house for about two weeks. He didn't even know looking after him, feeding him and treating him because he's from his tribe. My pastor said this man, I fear him now. His loyalties are twisted, corrupted. Nigerian too. They have their own. Which tribe is it in Nigeria? He both he both are like that and South Africa toss us so. Lifestyle. Zimbabwe. Which group are like that? The Belets. Are you the bele? Your mother-in-law? So your wife is at the Belets? OK. When you can't move the mountains that's standing in your way.
