It's something that you have seen or will know or something. That's why thousands We shave it to the people, hey, and it's true. Before somebody can take his books and just share it, it's something that he must believe or you are an idiotic. #8 Faith is important because through faith our first for things in this life is quenched. Our first Through faith, your first for things in this world can be quenched. Yeah, and Jesus said unto them, John 634 I'm the bread of life. He that come to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never test, test, test for things disappears through faith. It's only through faith that you're test for Mercedes-Benz, your test for BMW, your test for London, your test for America. Through faith, your test will be either believeth or shall never test. Those testings will just go down. It's true. That's why you see some of us preaching. Bishop, don't you like this? Don't you like this? It's only through faith the interest in all those things goes down. Yeah. You cannot, you cannot work for God without having faith. And some of your faith is normal. That's why your desire for that, but through life is going to teach you certain things that you couldn't learn at a camp. You are going to learn it through the school of Hard Knocks and then you believe more things. The school of Hard Knocks. How many? I've already been for one or two classes in that school. SHK school of Hard Knocks. We've done some small programs, modules #9 how many? Rather that your test for certain things is being quenched gradually. Stein Yeah. Your test for a man. Look as a man, Man, you look at the man. Say man, what do you have to offer me? Your tests for the young ladies, you look at them and say, sister, what do you have? What do you have to offer me at my age? At my spiritual age, my spiritual test has gone, my test has gone down. For such things faith is important because it enables you to relate with the Holy Spirits. It enables you to relate with the Holy Spirit. He that unbelieveth on me, as the Scripture have said in John 738, out of his belly it is he that believeth. On me. Out of his belly shall flow. Holy Ghost flow. Flow from where? From He that believeth, anointing flows from him that believeth. He that believeth as the scriptures, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spake he of the spirits which they that believe on him should receive. They that believe on him should receive. It's only believers of. I feel the Holy Spirit said I should do this. I feel God said I should do this. Holy Spirit said it's for people who believe. There will be no confirmation placed till you get to heaven, then you'll be told that it's confirmed. We confirmed this was right, that was right, this one was right, that was right, this was right that was, but till then you are in the dark. You just have to believe. When I say oh, the Holy Spirit said I should, I should employ you is I have to believe. Holy Spirit is it right, is it wrong? You have to believe. It's only when you believe that you can flow with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit said, go here, do this, call this person. You'll see the person in a dream, in a vision. There's a sister, you know, I had, I I saw her in my dream. I was looking for somebody and I saw her. I saw her. I said, who is that? Who is that? I saw that she has a peculiar haircut. So I saw. I said, who is that? This person? I love my mind. I was not on hair. Told us, ah, then I immediately knew, you know, the Holy Spirit want me to work with that Lady. Yeah, I just saw this. I know, I know. So, ah, I believe. I have to believe. People who believe are the ones who flow with Holy Spirit. No, don't believe that sound. Are you sure that you could have been your dreams? I mean something was was thinking about in delivering and then certain certain things happened. You had some paper and then something was doing something was doing at the back there and then you were saying that now he that believeth out of his belly. This Speaking of the Spirit with those who believe, with those who believe should receive, with those who believe should receive, those who believe should flow with Holy Ghost. This big key of the Spirit. Those who believe, you see. Yeah, believing people receive Holy Ghost. Yeah. When the Spirit said to me, write a book, write a book, write a book, write a book, I was I was in the Holiday Inn Hotel here in England and the Spirit said to me, send Pastor Jacob to Nigeria. Yeah. So he was speaking to me on the bed. He was talking to me. Send him, Send him to Nigeria. I said why we should send him Nigeria. He's a very cool pastor. He's you know, he's very whatever. What's the orders already somebody in Nigeria. Send him to Nigeria. This Speaking of the spring with those who believe will be able to flow it and I believe and I sent him few things they all said to me, do they lot to go to London and start a church. I was in a hostel in in Geneva in a place called Cronlaan Sea. In the hostel I was staying with a lot of other guys. We all used the same toilet and showers together. Yeah. And he said go to London and start a church. I said go to London and start a church. I landed here. I was 30 years old, came to started churches. I was working on the law, said 30 years old. 30 years ago, you were born here. 30 years later you've come up, sent you back to where you were born. Yeah. Wow. But when I was going to Geneva, I didn't hear the Holy Spirit tell me go and start a church in my sisters kept inviting me to come, to come. And she comes. We need a church. We want the church. But here he said I should come and start. So I they did. Sam. He said Sam. He didn't say anything. I just flew. That's OK. You go here. Oh, you go here. That's why you can tell me that I was led and I was not led for this. I'm not quarrel with you. I just believe. I just believe that he's with me. Forgive. Zip, Zip. Zip. ZAP. What is the meaning of ballistic? If something, if someone goes ballistic, he suddenly becomes greater and more powerful in a surprising way or unwanted way, he's done ballistic. Wow, Andy, Are you ready to go ballistic? A ballistic missile surprising way, unwanted by the devil, suddenly become greater and more powerful. Pleasant surprise, surprise packets, surprise packets #10 Faith is important because it helps you to relate with the reality of death that we will encounter in this life. Amen. In this world, in this world, Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the dead and the life. He that believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whomsoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this? She saith unto him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God. We should come into the world. Amen. Jesus said, He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Now what he said it's saying is that he's talking to somebody whose relative was dead. And he was telling the person, I am the resurrection and the life. If you believe in me, although somebody is dead, he shall live. So he was explaining and he was saying that he was explaining to someone who was experiencing a funeral and was telling the person that be through your beliefs in me. It will help you to overcome the bereavement and the sorrow and the reality of life. Whenever I I hold the hand of a widow or somebody who is money or somebody who's money. All right, OK. Over there. The the not the gentleman in the red and white. The one sitting on her on his right. The gentleman? Yeah, the lady. The lady on his right. Take down her number. Are you listening to me? How many know that death is not easy to deal with without faith, there is no sense in this life when you encounter death at close quarters. Death makes nonsense out of your life. I tell you, only with faith can you relate with it. Death makes nonsense out of everything. A pastor goes to Angie, serves God from the age of 24, he goes there, He's there. Or this one from the age of 24, earlier even not from the age of 24. And he was married from the age of 24, goes there. Yes, before lives in the village, gives up a possible career as a medical doctor, and then he's shot dead, bound in the middle of 26 and leaves his wife, who's expecting a little baby. He doesn't make sense. Is it? Without faith, you cannot relate with the things that are in this world. And that's why Jesus was trying to talk to this woman, Martha or Mary, whichever it was telling her that look, look, and the resurrection of the life, if you believe in me, you will live again. Yeah, believe in me and you can flow with this thing. Amen. Only faith can work at such a time #11 number what, 11? Faith is important because it helps you to relate well with a delegated authority on the mission field. Amen. It helps you to relate well with a delegated authority, a delegated authority. When somebody is delegated to you without faith, you cannot relate with a person. You need to have faith. Otherwise you say, who is this guy? Who is this new pastor? Who is this general overseer? Who is this person? Why should a woman be my pastor? What is a woman? This and that, This, this, this, that. I don't know this person. Who is this? What is that? Hey, hey, hey, hey. But in John chapter 12 verse 44, Jesus cried out and said he that believeth on me believeth not on me, but on him that sends me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sends me. So if you have faith, you believe not just on the person that you see, but on the person who sends the person. So you believe on the person and the person who has been sent. Yeah. So people who don't have faith, people who who don't have faith, maybe also we love Bishop, but we don't know you. You see, Who are you? When when did you come on the scene? You see, one day I I had some people working in my office in the world outside, and then somebody came and he wanted to just come in. He said will you get out of here? Do you know when I joined the church? When did you come to the church? Will you clear from there? I want to see Bishop come on, open the door. I see he that really respects me will respect the person that I put there. And when the person breaks through like that, I'll have no regard for the person because you don't respect the person that I put there. It's true. Yeah. In fact, I have noticed if I send somebody and the people don't relate well with the person, I blacklist that person. It's true. I'll blacklist you straight. I can just tell you that so that you know it if I have some because the people that I wanted to work with, they didn't come to work with me. And these are people that have come to work for me. So they are very special to me. And I preach and I preach, I preach. A few of them will come, few, few, few. I had a staff meeting this beginning of the year. I told them, I said, I told them. I told them different, different people are special to me, different. And I mentioned, I said you see these girls, Fallon, Michaela, Ahmadi, Natasha, Anita, the five of them, I said they are very special to me, but you don't know. Yeah, I told them at the meeting. I said because these people, I've had sort of come with them. So I preached. It just came to be with me. So you may see them as whatever you don't know. You should be a bit careful. Yeah. Before I realize you see that something bad is somebody doesn't another person who you shouldn't. Yeah. You just, you just move into a dangerous area. Yeah, and and anybody who fiddles around with Christ will receive the wrath of the Father because Jesus is is special, is the Son of God, is the only one and only Christ the Saviour, the King of kings, the Lord of Lord. You play with him, ish. You play, you play with. You don't know. You don't know why as you grow in your faith, as you grow in faith, and maybe as you approach death, you will now appreciate what Christ did for you, how great he was to approach death confidently and die for you and die for be told go and die and not tend to your father. Is that what you will do to yourself? You know what it means to die, what you would have said to your father. Yeah, I told you go. And do. People even send their children to 2nd school? They say that my father doesn't love me because look at the school that he has sent me to. I sent somebody to run. I said I don't like him. That's why I've sent him. Jesus was sent to the cross. He never turned on and said, he said the hours for the Son of Man to be glorified as if they see that. So he understood. He understood his mission very well. He said unless I go into the garden and die or abide alone. And he said, oh, they don't like me. That's why they've sent me here. These people, they don't like me, they don't like you. Duty, Duty 3 Some of you small rebuke. Your mind will not be going this way, this way, this way. If you are a child, your father must be able to shout at you. Yeah, I have to apologize. Your father have to apologize to know that that is the whole thing's sport. They must be able to. And the fact that the person is saying something, that's the best sign. If I don't say something, it means I'm having thoughts. Now when I say my mind, that's the end of the mind. There's no more mind left. Your mind has been said. There's no more mind again. But when nothing is said, there's a mind. Are you listening to me? OK #12 Faith is important because it helps you to do greater works. Greater works, greater works, he that believeth on me, John 14 verse 12, The works I do shall he do also and greater works. How many want to do greater works? It's for those that believe I going to do greater works on the mission field. You know, you see the people who went to Mexico, Natalie Marcella, I believe that's why they went. It's believed that made them go. Not holiness, righteousness, maturity, education, love. This, that, that. Who? What are you talking about? We're talking about faith. He that believe greater works than this shall he do. Shabba lava Zub zub zab. Tell your neighbor. Neighbor. I'm a devotee on my way to do greater works. Keep watching. You are going to enjoy this.
