You hardly have time for him. Mercy. Wow. OK, you may be seated. I want to hear the sound. Clearly muffled. Please improve the sound, reduce your mid range a little, reduce your bass, increase your treble. Please do it on the master and do it on the channel. Do it on the master volume and do it on the channel of mutual micas. Change it please, it can be better. Hello all of you who are pastors who preach, if you remember that you are there to. Preach for people to. Hear when you are singing, you are singing for. People to hear. So if you sing or you preach and the people can't hear, then the the whole thing is useless. So a pastor must be concerned about his microphone and his sound. You can't sit down like an ignoramus and not think about the sound and think that somebody is going to correct the sound for you. Do you understand? Because whatever effects you, you must be concerned about it. That's why John Wesley was concerned about his. Horse. And he taught all pastors and preachers must be concerned about their horses. The horse is what is carrying you to the preach. You must shave the hoofs. Make sure that he has food, water and everything because very important for the preacher. Everybody moved around with horses. So the pastor's horse was a very important thing. Hello. It still doesn't sound clear. It doesn't sound clear as it is. This is a new with new things. The sound is not correct. All right, turn with me to Genesis. Whilst we are waiting for the guys to improve their act Genesis 40. How can I say thanks? How many are being blessed with the pastors are sharing? It's too powerful. And I am so thankful for the lives of these guys. Everywhere I go, they come and just preach. And I'm so blessed. Hello, 1234. Hello. Still sounds muffled. It sounds muffled. If anybody has the skill and knows how it is done right, I'm excited to be. It's getting clearer. Hello. Yeah. What are you doing? Do more. Do it again. It's nice. Hello. It seems to be getting clearer. What did you do? Hello. Ah, it's going back. Somebody's spoiling it again. Hello. No. Hello, have you found Genesis chapter 40? Tell somebody how can I say thanks to God? Wow. Send to Ephesians chapter 2 before you go to Genesis 40. Not a problem. Hallelujah. It can still be clearer. It is not at the clearest, and you were dead in your trespasses. And sins in which you formally walked. According to the cause of this world, according to the Prince of the power of the air. Do you remember? Oh, I wish Ida was here to sing. Oh. That would have been nice. How many remember? When you were following the Prince of this world and you were following the cause of this world, like anything that's happening in the world, you are part of it and it's happening to you. Whatever happens to everybody happens to you. You were just normal. Everybody is getting HIV, You also get one. Everybody is having sex on Tuesday night, you are also having sex. The Prince of the Air was leading you, guiding you, bringing you to where he wants you to go to. Is it getting clearer? Can you hear the difference? All right? And the spirit that is not working, The children of disobedience. Now notice verse 3. Among them we 2. All formerly lived like we were all living. Paul is describing how his life was in the lusts of the flesh. Like anything. We. Feel like doing? We do it, girls. What were some of the things you felt like doing? Huh. Tell me somebody, what did you feel like doing? And you were doing it. Yes. I mean being in a guy's bosom. Being in a guy's bosom. Please make her microphone clearer. Same idea. Being in a guy's bosom. Where? Which part of the guy is the bosom? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where is it here? OK, it's a place. What else? I mean hearing good things, that you are loved, you are beautiful, you are the only one in the world. Who else is there? Who else can tell us? Anybody else? Hallelujah, going out. Going. Out having some fun time. Fun time like what? So now since you became a Christian, you don't go out there, you don't have fun time. How many are having a fun time here? Just explain what you are saying very well, otherwise there's going to be a problem. Making love. Making love keep. Saying the best kiss ever. What did she say? Yes. Romantic moments. Yes. Touching his tummy. Touching his tummy TT Touching the tummy. Look at verse three. Among them we. To. All. Formally lived in the last. Of our flesh like desires. If you have it, you do it. If you'd like it, you do it. That is why. You must be careful with wild animals because they they do not. Use thoughts. They have no logic. That bars them from doing what they feel like doing. So you may feed the lion every day, you may bring it food every day, but if you make a miscalculation in the presence of this lion, he will eat you in addition to the food that you've been bringing every day because when he looks at you, you look like food. Are you understanding the difference between you and a wild animal is that you are? Not going to just do what you feel like doing juicy, but formally you were like a wild animal. If you feel like eating, you eat. You feel like having sex. You have sex, if you feel like drinking, you drink drugs, you do everything you feel like doing. You do till you meet Jesus. Then you can say, well, how we formally walked in the. Last of our flesh. Like we. Just followed. Whatever we feel and then notice the next line, he said. Oh, is this the King James Bible? OK, but I prefer the King James. I'm going back to King James, it says in the lust of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the. Flesh and of the mind. Do you see like I have this desire fulfill it. I I I I feel like it. I fulfill it once I have a feeling I fulfill it. Hey Charlie. Once I fulfill it. Many have once fulfilled every desire that came into your. Yeah. No restriction. Whoever, whatever. I feel like it is happening. Is there anybody here who has fulfilled it? You just fulfilled it. I need somebody on the microphone. What desire did you fulfill? Yeah, He has. No. OK. No. This is the meaning of salvation. It's not. It's not that you don't currently have desires of the flesh. No, no, no. How many have feelings? Listen, how many have been in church and you have had the wrong feelings before? close your eyes and raise your hands so nobody can see. Yes, yes, all the people in the front have raised their hands whilst preaching. Guess where is she? Who's holding the mic? What's your name again? Gostego. Or how do you pronounce Josejo? OK, Josejo. Amen. I used to be a smoker before. Smoker. A smoker like you, you. Used to smoke? What cigarette did you used to smoke? Stiffen and Peter. What? Peter Stevenson. OK. And then when I came to church, I realized that all that I used to do was bad, but the desire to still smoke was still there. So I was just when somebody smoking because I couldn't actually smoke, I'd just be by them. And then? But before any time you felt like smoking, you did you smoke. Wow, what other desires were you fulfilling? I I used to like guys. I used to have a lot of interesting guys. Any guy who interested me, I'll make sure that. Make sure that what? Look, you people are not behaving yourself. You people are not behaving yourself. Yes, any guy who interests you. Did what? I'll make sure that I get the number and then get to talk, get to meet, probably go out, kiss here, kiss there, and then probably sleep together if it's possible. Sleep together if possible. Why is it sometimes not possible? Sometimes when, as, as, as you continue talking, some things don't just just turn you off and you just sleep. So before any guy, you saw you. Any guy had interest in? Any guy you have a desire for, you just fulfill it. You, you just say to yourself, you are mine. You are that. You have is mine. Amen. Wow. You are just like King Ben Haddad, he told the king of Israel. You are mine. All that you have is mine. Wow. What other desires have you were you fulfilling before? I used to be a drinker. A drinker, Yes. Used to get drunk. Used to go out with friends, buy clothes, dress and then go out, drink and just have fun then and then probably go home. So when you see alcohol now, does it interest you because of? I'm never, I'm not exposed to it now. I'm always in church. I'm always doing this so I'm not exposed to it much, so I don't. So you are not fulfilling the. But it's probably there, isn't it? But you are not fulfilling the desire. Yeah. Wow. Now tell your neighbor. neighbor. Do you know what is happening? The Bible says confess your faults one to another and pray for one another so that you may be healed. Not forgiven, Not forgiven. You are already forgiven. Healed. Healed means you are is repaired. The injuries that these things cause are repaired. Yes. Who else? Yeah. What desires did you used to fulfill? Oh, Bishop, I used to fulfill that. All desires of. But I was. That is one. Yeah, I used to fulfill desire of masturbation. Masturbation. Watching pornography. Wow. Yeah. You felt like watching it all the time. Three times a day. CBS morning, afternoon and evening masturbation three times a day. Wow. So do you fulfill that desire now? 5° of God? No. Wow. What a blessing, huh? Yeah. So that's what Paul was said. Hello. Who is that one meeting, please? Paul was explaining. All right. What? Salvation is it's like in times past, we walk in the last of their flesh, of our flesh and fulfilled desires. That's the. Basic. Explanation of an unbeliever is to walk in your desires and fulfill lusts like I feel it I desired. I do it. One guy told me said if I see a girl in those days and I don't sleep with you within seven days, then it means I'm late, late, something is wrong. And, and, and that is the difference basically between a Christian and an unbeliever. So I'm trying to help you to understand, but it is not that as we are here, we don't have desires. How? Many of us, I want to only ask the pastors so that you would understand what I'm saying. How many people who are pastors, brothers, the sisters can you just relax would be happy if God was to release you from the one wife band so that you can have 75. Raise your hand if you are a pastor and some of the legs, wow, look. At them, look at them and bishops. Even because the desire is there, Christianity does not mean there is no desire. Christianity means. You are not fulfilling the desire. No desire. Don't let don't let people deceive. Otherwise when you are a Christian you will not understand your Christianity. When you have certain desires, you tell yourself the devil will tell you, look, no one in the church is thinking like this or you are a very bad person. Look, the devil will tell you. Look, you are an unusual. Person. Here. Look to your left, look to your right. They have all changed except you and it's not true. Look at what pastors want. 75 wives. And bishops antelopic ratio one is 275. Yeah, antelopic ratio, it's a new term and people are saying. Lord. That is, see, one day I met a prophet and he told me, Listen, Bishop. I believe there will be sex in heaven. I believe, and he used a very prophetic voice. He said, Bishop, I believe it. So I said why? And he said because of the scripture, he said what scripture he said. At your right hand are pleasures forever, he said. Bishop, what are these pleasures? It must be sex. Wow. So you realize that this prophet was dying for the antelopic ratio to be brought back? Yeah. Wow. So what I'm trying to explain. Yeah. No marriage but sex. Pleasures, but without marriage. Yeah. He said no ma. He said no ma, but he said no pleasures forever. So what I'm trying to explain to you is that Christianity is not about making somebody who is. Into like an abnormal person you are going to struggle all your life with this body that's why the more mature you are, you don't look down on people when. They have problems or they slip because it's like somebody has a big plate of roasted meat and he's very hungry and the aroma is coming out and he was there for a longer and then one day he beat one. And if you are mature, you will look and you realize that look, I could have also beaten 1. Piece. I thought, actually I've thought of it before, but several times. One day I even licked it and then I stopped. So I'm trying to explain to you what God has done for you. Yeah, God has really done a lot. Yes, yes, yes. He has saved us from being basically animals. Most people don't understand. One brother was telling me about place where is where is our kids? He's outside, he's not around. OK, OK, but he was telling me some how people live. In a certain place and when he comes, I'll let you tell it and you realize that wow, we have become animals here. Then here comes Christ, and Satan wants to be greatest lower. Us. Lower US. How many have realized you've been in a degrading situation before? Raise your hand if you've been in a degrading circumstance where you realize that I'm. Low. Hey, I'm low. Have you felt low before? I'm low. I'm, I'm, I'm below the bar. I'm, I'm, I'm in a shameful state. It's a shame. We are all shameful. Now when we come to church, people have this perfection. Look, you look perfect there, by the way. You look perfect. Have you seen those people standing at the back? They all look perfect. They stand on the back, sit down. And then also not only fulfilling the desires of the flesh, but fulfilling the desires of the mind. Like sometimes you don't. Your friend doesn't even feel like it, but it's an. Idea Yeah, yeah. What? Like the mind, like OK, can I have sex with three? People at the same time it's. Not it's not even. A desire like, but in the mind it's like, what would it be like? Do you understand? Or I've not had sex with a Chinese person before. So like a mind like, what is it like to sleep with a Chinese person? So then the mind, let me try. I've not slept with a pastor before. What would it be like to sleep with a pastor? It must be nice to sleep with a pastor. It's like ideas come to you. So there are a lot of unnatural things where it's like when the idea comes to the mind, then it's like, let's. Do it and see, you know, Yeah, so the. Mind. Also presents itself with a lot of fantastic ideas and when you are in the world, the world. If it comes to the mind, do it and let us see that it can be done or it has been done before. Yeah, wow. How many have done things that you didn't really like, feel like doing? But it's like the idea has come that this thing should be done or can be Can it be done and. When you didn't realize you were low, how many have done things you realize you were low? Let's see to me Ephesians chapter 2, chapter 2, the first section of Ephesians chapter 2 is the most important passage that encapsulates what salvation. Is for a Christian from verse one it explains you were following a demon called the Prince of the power that you were walking according to the world. You were full of desires you were fulfilling. Each one of the flesh and desires of the mind. Any idea that occurs to the mind? Why do have I done this before like this? Have I been at this before on this? Where do you think people have the idea? Can I have sex with a dog? Can I have sex with a cow? Can I have sex with a horse? Can I have sex with a pig? It's like the I just come to their heads. What about if I have sex with a dog? How would it be like? What if I have two types of? Men, two men at the same time. What about if I use holes which are not intended for sex and try things with different? What about this? What about if I do with the Chinese what I try with the Malaysia? If what I can try with the West African? What is it like with the Kenyan? What is it like? And then when you when you do, you realize you are low. You are low. You are now low down. Have you seen the scripture? You see, and by nature, we were the children of wrath, like the children who are going to experience the anger of God. Yeah, that's by how we were behaving naturally. We were people who were going to experience the anger of God, among whom we had our conversation. Conversation is the old word for behavior. It doesn't mean conversation as you know it now. Behavior in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh. And of the mind, do you understand it that we fulfill? The keyword is fulfill fulfill. But I think most of the time we confess desires when we have them. Most Christians confess desires. You see, desires make us feel uncomfortable because once there is a desire that you are near something. So it's one of the most unsettling feelings to have a desire for something. But actually it's not wrong to have a desire. Yeah, the problem is. To. Fulfill the desire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then also you see to live in a in a life where you are in lusts, like your whole life is just full of desires and lusts. Do you understand or lusts animal see the last. In the dictionary, is animal desire for sexual indulgence? Is the division of lust animal desire? It's like. Raw. Desire. You see so. You walk in the last and then you fulfill things that come to you. It's a terrible thing. And the whole world, that's why Europe is becoming basically homosexual, because what happened is that they infect. It's like a virus. They infect one person after another and they are not trying to infect young. Boys and also now they are teaching even in Germany they teach you that there are two ways and they are teaching it in primary school in Class 1 now. That there are. Two ways. You can be somebody who has sex with males, male to male, female to female. They teach it in the school. Yeah, it's being taught. In the school. So you, you grow up. Thinking that this is normal, that it is not normal. Yeah, You don't have to accept it as a normal thing. Are you there or you are going home? Have you given up or you you are still holding on to them? Are you still going to be part of the race? Yeah. So fulfilling the desires, that's a key thing. Do you see? Yes, that's why Paul said present your body as a living sacrifice. Or Paul said in First Corinthians 927, he says I. Keep my body under. You see your body. Is like a. Ball that you are forcing underwater in a bucket and it always wants to come up. That tendency to come up is what disturbs us. We've gone very anxious about ourselves, it's like. Why should I like? Somebody's wife or somebody's beloved. I mean the fact that that desire has come to you. Look at this man of God. Instead of concentrating on the preaching, look at what you are thinking about. You become unsettled. But it's not only you. The one next to you is having the same ideas. Wow. And so you, you, before you realize all four on the road stand up, Four of you. All four are unsettled as you are. They come like you are all confused because the enemy has come to sit on your shoulder and tell you no one else has the desire. But the next one has the desire. The next one has the desire. They all have the same idea as of cattle. How many? Whether sometimes the same idea occurs to a lot of people. That's what's when you people laugh because it's OK to all of them. Yeah. Are you there or you are going home? Wow. Amen. I was looking at something. I don't know whether I'm seeing what I'm saying. OK, all right. Now notice I keep under my body an apostle, and I put this an apostle, he said. I keep my body. You would have thought that an apostle would never have to. Control his body. A major apostle like Paul. Who? Wrote half of the New Testament. He's controlling his voice. That is a problem I have. I keep it under control. Yeah. It's like a big bucket with a ball and you push it and like always, time to come out. You have to push it and come and push it and push it. You have to keep on. I keep. On the left that by any means when I have finished pushing. So this problem he had it after preaching look he says left when I have preached. It's a problem he has after preaching. Wow. It comes after being appointed as a pastor, after being appointed as a preacher. These are the problems that he's having. You would have thought that after being appointed as a pastor, all these things are in the past. You are now more than a conqueror. The problem is, after preaching, after converting others, after advising others, after the convention, one day there was a large evangelistic conference for up incoming evangelists and they were all invited to Amsterdam. No, no, for the conference, fragilistic conference and they stayed in the hotel and everything and then they left. When they left, the hotel recorded the highest number in the hotel bill. We have the bill for the bed, bill for the food, bill for drinks, bill for room service and then. Television. Like television, if you watch Pay as you watch, yes, they have the highest. Number, amount income ever from the adult TV watching of the pastors like when the pastors were the evangelists were having the conference, they had the highest from that segment because the up and coming evangelists. In the hotels after the conference, that's after I've preached, they were watching adults, you know, adult TV. What is adult TV? Pornography is another English name for it. Yeah, yeah. And it. Is said that. 68% of Christian men struggle with pornography 68%. Yeah. So I'm explaining this after I've preached. I myself can easily be thrown away. So salvation does not like purify you. You'll be confused. It's like what I said yesterday. I've been saved for two years. What are these feelings? What a shame. I feel low, I feel low. How many of them feel? Low. You realize that I'm now low, that God loves you, Babu says. He knows our frame. He knows our weakness, Yes. And when you are weak, you can actually be strong. Because if you call on the grace of God, most people come to God as if God doesn't know, then we'll be saying, Lord, I glorify your name today by the holiness of heavens and. Look, get to the job and start talking about the problem that you are experiencing and stop peace, glorification, be words from the book of Exodus and Leviticus. Start speaking practically to God, Lord and Lord. Lord, I'm down. I'm weak, Lord. I'm falling again. Help me, Lord. Strike me. Lord, after I preach, it seems to be getting worse. Wow. Yeah, after I preach, it seems to be getting worse. And God will help you. He will send his Angel to strengthen you like He sent his Angel to strengthen Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. So. Salvation is, is is a fantastic experience. You are safe and that's why you see somebody. He will be doing, but then but you see that he likes God. You know, I never used to understand, you know, like why would somebody be a homosexual and start a church and be into prayer and everything? It's because no matter how his flesh is behaving, the person really likes God. It's a problem. You can't even understand. It's a problem. How is he praying? What does he pray about? But it's like some people also are not like Judas. You see, we have two types, Judas and Peter. Yeah, Judas is like when he had a problem, he said, look, I can't go back. And damn, damn, Jesus, damn Peter, damn all these guys. I won't go back to them. But when I go, they will accuse me. I know they accuse the eyes, especially Thomas and. Battle of those. Guys, they are very accusative. Damn. Damn, I can't go back. I don't want to see, I don't want anybody to ask me question, I say. What has happened has happened over. That's one type of pasta. The other type is Peter. It's like you betrayed Christ. Do that. They betrayed Christ once. Peter betrayed him three times. I. Don't know you, I said. I don't know the man, you said. I don't know. Yeah, you just, I know him, but just some small financial transaction, Peter said. I said I don't know him. I swear, I swear, God, I don't know him. Yeah. Three times and the cork, Yeah, if you visit. Me in my. Office. I have a cork. I brought it from South America. The pastor had it in his office and I asked him what is this cork? He said he's a direct descendant of the Cork that. Proved when, Peter. Betrayed Christ. I said, is it true? He said, yeah. I said I need it. He said you can have it and I took it and I brought it. He said. Descendant of that cop. It has been programmed to crow as soon as Peter denies. Christ. So when Peter said. For the third time, I say. Do you want me to? Slap you, I say. I've never seen that man before. Immediately, that cop. But Peter didn't give up. He came back. He came back and said, look, I was appointed as the leader. I may have my faults, but I want you all to know that. All of us make many mistakes. And in spite of my fault, some of you, you have been in my position. You. I don't know what you would have done that you would have denied that more than 20 times. But I denied it only three times. And I want you to know that I'm still there. There. The head of the church. Yeah, I'm still there. Wrong. And I have. No plan of giving up my position, I'm still a member. I said I'm still a member and I'm still a pastor and I'm still in the church work and I'm still in the business of the church. I don't care. You can look at me with four eyes, but you didn't call me, you didn't appoint me, you didn't anoint me. The one who sent me has forgiven me and I'm coming back. Anybody who doesn't believe in my leadership, you can resign now. Step down. I'm back. I'm the head of this thing. Yeah. But Judas says I don't want to see anybody. I said I don't want to see anybody. Go back, go back. I don't want to see you. Yeah, I may have seen all. I don't want to see. I know what Peter will say. I know what. Thomas will say, I know. Them. I know about these guys. I've been with them for three years. I know. I know how they are. I know how they think I know. Thomas doesn't believe anything when I say I've changed. You will never believe. Yeah. Thomas will not give me a chance. All of them. They accept. I know Thomas will not accept it. I'm going. I better hang myself. There's no point. So he never came back to see Jesus? Never. How many are going to hang yourself because you feel low? How many have been low? Under the gutter. Why should you hang yourself? Let's climb out. Anybody who sees you, what will you do? Wash yourself and continue. By the blood of the Lamb I see you establishing Christ. You shall never be castaway, you shall never be discarded. Nobody can disqualify you when God has qualified you. By the blood of the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world, you are establishing the House of the Lord. Jesus name, Tell your neighbor neighbor. I may have slept with more people than you, but I don't appreciate you looking at me with those accusative eyes. By the blood of the lamb, you and I are equal. Now we have been equalized by the blood of the lamb. Wow. Hallelujah. Look, have you been to a Mortuary before? A Mortuary is a place that Christians should visit. One of the powers of a Mortuary is to equalize everybody. Yeah. There's a power You may be very great, very rich, very whatever, and you'll be lying by a very poor man. All of you are feeling cold in the fridge and nobody knows who is who. Yeah, one day one of my wife's uncles, he died and he was a very, very rich man. And he was a lawyer and he was a head of something, head of this head. United Nations. This, this, this, so many things. And it was his funeral. They put his body, you know, in Ghana. I don't know if you do it here, they bring the body. You have that here. We call it way keeping. You do way keeping, too. Yeah. The wife usually sits. So she was sitting by the her husband's body and other relatives. People were coming around. They come, they shake hands, you shake hands. You have to know how to shake hands and funeral put your hand here and there's a way you do it so I don't get Ebola virus. They shook hands the whole night. The next day they went to church and they did a ceremony. The lawyers came to sing the other thing that they do and the large different groups in Finnish and then they buried the guy. This very famous lawyer was a relative. Now about two weeks later they were in the house, you see when some people came from the hospital Mochrie and they said don't laugh. I said true story. They said the person that you buried, it's not him, It's the very poor man in labor, the one you were singing his praises, the one that you were saying he's the DS United Nations. No, no, it's not him. He's another person. I said how can that be? The wife was sitting there. He said yeah, this the real you see after the other. Poor man's relative came, and when we gave him. Your husband when they gave him the body. He said this is not him. And we realized that we gave you the wrong person. But I saw that when people are dead, their body, their face change. So you don't even look at it and say, oh, it is him, It's not him. Yeah. Wow. So you see, in the Montry, the rich and the poor became the same. In fact, they were exchanged. He even received the praises and the accolades. He asked what united he was sitting there receiving all. The praises all honour because they are all virtually the same. So there are. Few places where you become the same. One of them is in the mosque. And another one of them is when the blood of Jesus comes over you. A crocodile. ETA A fornicator, a wizard, a madra, a righteous. School prefect over righteous SU leader, all become the same. When the blood washes you all is brought down to 0. So tell your neighbor. Neighbor I don't appreciate your accusative eyes. We are all the same under the blood of Jesus. Hallelujah. Sit down. I need to get to even my first. Point for this camp I have not gotten even one point. So anyway, the big question is how can I say thanks to the Lord for all that He has done for me? How many realize you were like an animal? How? Can we say thanks to the Lord? Wow. Now there are several ways by which we can say thanks, and one of them is found in Genesis chapter 14. There's one, and we have how many minutes now to break to Brother 20. Then it came to pass after these things, that the cup bearer and the Baker for the king of Egypt offended their Lord, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh was furious. With his two officials, the chief cap bearer and the chief Baker. Wow. Hey my 4 ladies, you can sit down. So he put them in confinement. In the House of the captain of the bodyguard. In the jail, the same place where Joseph was in prison. The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them, and they were in confinement for some time. You know something? I think I prefer the King James Bible. It was always nicer. And the captain of the God charged Joseph with them, and he served them, and continued a season in war. And they dreamed to dream both of them. Each man is dreaming one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, The Butler and the Baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison. Verse 6. And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad. And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his Lord's house, saying. Why for look ye so sadly? Today and they said. Unto Him we have breathed a dream, and there is. No interpreter of this dream, wow. I just have said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God. Tell me your dream, I pray you. And the chief Butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, Behold, a vine was before me, and in the vine were three branches, and it was as though it buttered. And her blossoms shot forth, and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes. And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand. And I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, And I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. Can you excuse me? You know these are the two dreams. You know the interpretation of the two dreams. Is sort of a little. Every time I read them, I'm trying to remember which one lived and which one died. Because the dreams are. They are good examples of how the interpretation of a dream is really by the Spirit. Because you you know you can't. You can't really tell. What it is? You know anyway, verse 12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it. The three branches are three days. Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore. Thee unto thy place. And thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's up. Into his hand after the former manner when thou. Wast. His. Butler but. Think on me brother. Remember Me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness. I pray thee unto me, make mention of me. Unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this terrible place. For indeed I was told that we're out of the land of the Hebrews. And here also I have nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. When the chief Baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, Well, I also had a dream, and behold, I had three white baskets on my head. And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked beats for Pharaoh, and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. Now the interpretation where you get the interpretation is that in the first one Pharaoh was drinking from the cup, but this one birds were eating the bread that he was serving. So what it means is that Pharaoh was not eating his bread anymore, the bread that he was serving, but birds were eating that bread. That's how you know that this dream is a bad dream because I've not served birds before. Do you understand? He was a Baker and he used to serve feral bread. This one was a Butler used to serve feral wine. But in this dream, he was serving Feral with wine again in this dream. Birds. Were eating what he was serving. No, that doesn't sound good at all. And Joseph answered, This is the interpretation thereof. The three baskets are three days, yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up thy head. From of thee. And hung thee on a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from of thee. Wow. And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief Butler, and the chief Baker among his servants, And he restored the chief Butler again, and to his butlership again, and gave the cup into. And he gave the cup into. Pharaoh's hand, but he hammed the chief Baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. Yet did not the chief Butler remember Joseph, but forgot him? Yeah. What do you think now? How can I say thanks? How do some people say thank you when something good has been done for them? They they, they forget and they say nothing. That's how some people say thank you. Yeah, they say nothing. You know when you see Christians who have been saved. Look at you sitting here today in a church. Somebody who should be dead, somebody who should not be found near a church Based on your lowlife. Here you are sitting in a church. Here you are. You are being changed. Look at a young person like you. I mean, you are so young that it's like, you know, people become Christians when they are older. It's like when their desires have reduced. Is it not true when they have potbellies and nobody proposes to them again and no boy notices them again and no girl says yes anymore? Unless you have money to give them, nobody will love you for who you are. Yeah, just your money. And here you are, sitting in the House of the Lord, washed by the blood. You should have gone to hell and here you are. You. You are a Baker. You are a Butler. They are giving you a prophetic word that you are. I see you free. I see you free and I see three days. Not three weeks, not three years, three days. You met the Prophet in the present. How can you even say thank you when God has given you a control for the experiment? You know what we mean by a control? Like when you do an experiment like you put this. In this water and it it becomes red, you put another one in water, it doesn't change color that's the control to see the other side you've. Got a Baker? Right by your side. His own didn't end well. Look at your families, how God has taken you out of your families. Some of it's not ending well, but God has been good to you. Look at you, sitting here serving the Lord. With a different I. Mean Lighthouse on top of it all on top of all churches. Because Lighthouse is not a better church than any church, but we have a kind of emphasis to sort of work for God and a lot of young people in the church. We are not trying to get money from you. They are trying to build a church. You know it yourself, you know it yourself. We are rather bringing money into Botswana. We are not taking money out of Botswana. They are bringing money here. To build a church, you will soon see the cathedral that is being built in town. Yeah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Yeah, you see it practically. Practically, yeah. Now look at this here you are in all of all churches. This is a church that you have been found in when there are so many other options. And what is your response? Nothing. I mean your response is 0. Hey, is this how you say thank you? Is that how to say thank you with silence? No comments. You know, if he sent the card back and the guy made a specific request when you go and he connected it to what he was doing, he said look, make mention of me. When he went, he made no mention. He forgot about him altogether. I'm free. Went to his family where I had a party, everything. I'm free challenge. Oh, As for Joseph, the chale is too bad, he forgot. Is that how to be nice? Is that how to say thank you to God? That is why I am a preacher for me to be saved. I don't know anybody called here what Mel's You see, God told Abraham come out of your family, out of your family. How many realize that out? Of your family, it seems you have been. Picked by a hook? Yeah, there's what? Body in my family who is a pastor. Yeah, there's no what? There's no what? Priest. There's no priest in my family. Yeah, I don't know anybody called. Pastor Heward Mills. Yeah. Do you know anybody? No. Bodies go past amponsa in my family. Mother, father, grandfather. Nobody. Look at that. Now they've selected you. Come out of your family, come out of your hometown, come out of your relatives, come out of all this group alone. And what do you say? Nothing. You're just there. Why should you even ask me? Why would I leave medicine and be a preacher? Why should you even ask me that question? What should I do? Where would I be by now? Christ hadn't saved me. What would I be? What would I be doing today? Would I be around? Please don't ask me that. My hope. There are many ways to say thank you and this is one of the ways how people say thank you. You just look in silence. Everybody just be silent after. A good thing has been done for you. Just be there quick. Just be. Let's all just be there. A great, let's say a great blessing come for him to stand there. You just look. Find that guy, bring him to the front. Look. The silence make you look like some evil people, like people with bad thoughts. It's almost as though like as the silence. Is going on. What are the thoughts that are going through the people? And as this Butler went out, kept quiet, like you didn't wonder what thoughts? I'm like, why? What is he thinking about? Maybe he didn't plan to come and kill me in the prison. He said go and tell him there. He said guy there. He said, dude, don't let that guy live. Don't let that guy finish that guy off. That guy is a very dangerous. He's a foreigner. He's a very dangerous guy. He's a foreigner. Finish him. Why is he quiet? What's he? Thinking I mean like. Would I not even be any responsible? You are working on it or you know you, you give it to me. Just silence. This is all you can do is to stay that you're just looking. You wouldn't become afraid of the person any as I told the guy that I went. And told him that I. Hadn't done anything against the The Bachelor, and maybe he's gone to the guy's house to tell him that the guy is in prison spreading stories about you that you didn't have. Anything to do with 41st wife and whatever. That's what the guy is saying about you in prison. Because they were all in the upper society. So the silence you'll be. Joseph will be taking this away. You think maybe he's going to see Pontifa? What about Pontifa's wife? Maybe they are planning to come and finish me. Maybe they'll poison me. Yeah, they'll poison me in the prison. I'll be finished. Yes. We are saying we are wrongly accused in the prison. The guys really finish him. Off Wow. Actually, it's a very terrible thing. See those of you here in Botswana. Christ has. Saved you, washed you, you know. God is expecting that you are going to open your mouth and say something for all the good that has been done for you, not to just be there. It's like no response. Yeah, yeah, Some Christian wives, when they get married, they behave like cadavers. Do you know what is a cadaver? A dead body. You may not understand. It but it's something that happens. They behave like dead bodies, especially when they have everything. They've got the ring, they've got the name, they've got a photograph in the House of the wedding, they've got their name, everything and the Madam. Then they turn into cadavers. If you want to have sex with them, it becomes a negotiated. Settlement. And if they do, it is their cadavers, their dead bodies. No sight, no response, no word, no comment, no shouts of joy, no corporate, no flow. Yeah, like how they used to be when they were jumping around at somebody's somebody's girlfriend. Recently, recently, a man admitted in court that he has had sex with 100 dead women in the in the Mortuary. Yeah, dead bodies. People have sex with the dead. All that you have to do is to. All that you will have to do, I think, is to close his, his, his eyes. Which? People do in marriage. They have to close their eyes, close the nose, don't smell whatever, and just focus on what they are doing. And he admitted in court in Ohio that he has slept with 100 corpses. Yeah, just focus. Has a lot of Christian husbands have to focus to just get off with it, finish the job. Yeah, it's the same thing. He wouldn't believe it, but it's because you don't have husbands. If you have a husband with a ring, with a picture, the dress, everything, you are there, Madame, the children, everything, they switch off the switches, they switch off life. Off. Yeah, they say nothing. Yeah, silence for the blessing they are receiving. Silence. Now you read chapter 41 and listen to what he said. Now let's look at how long he was and he came to pass at the end of two full years, two years of silence, that Pharaoh dream. So I'm sure Joseph was celebrating one year anniversary since the Butler. Left. Two years anniversary since the battler left. I thank God so I'm sure Joseph prays. You know that as the Lord, I want to thank you that I'm still alive. I thought last year when I told this guy to. Mention my name, that through this prophetic word I will be set free. But anyway it didn't work out, but all things work together for good. Oh Lord. I want to thank you. I'm grateful that I'm alive because I was afraid that he would go and report this thing to Potiphar, especially Potiphar's wife who engineered this thing. Every day I wake up, I'm expecting to hear contest from them. They are coming for me as they came for John the Baptist. But I thank you. One year has gone by. And I'm still alive. To God be the glory, but I thank you for another year of grace. An ungrateful man. Came to this prison, I prophesied to him two years ago. I've never. Heard of him? I've not had even a card. Nothing has changed about my situation, but I thank you. He stopped by power. He stopped by a man can receive nothing, he said, giving to him from above. Lord, I'm grateful in my situation. Look at the president. He's praying to encourage himself because a wicked person and an ungrateful person came to receive the ministry and his thank you was silence. His thank you for salvation was silence. Whether you are a doctor, a lawyer, a businessman, a student. You cannot be silent. About God we are not preaching because. We are trying to get jobs. Thank God. I always thank God that I am. I am a medical doctor. I thank God that I have been to school because at least I have a job. I don't need to preach to you to have money. I don't need it at all. Yeah. I thank God that I don't need to collect your money. Yeah. For me to say thank you. To God is all that I'm trying to do. Yeah. How can I? That's what that's what the question is. And I'll give you how to say thanks. But the question is, how can I say thank you? Yeah, But I'm showing you how some people say thank you before I say I show you how you should say thank you. But these are some people. I hope you will not be like that. It came to pass at the end of. Two full years thorough dream and that came out of the river. Seven well favored, kind and fat fleshed A and they fed in a Meadow and there's three and below. 7 other kind came up after them out of the river. I'll favored, I'll favored and lean fleshed. May you be well favored and fat fleshed rather than I'll favored and lean fleshed. Let's see. And stood by the other kind upon the brink of the river. And the ill favored and lean fleshed kind did eat up the seven well favored and fat fleshed kind. My God. So Pharaoh awoke and he slept, and he drained the second time, and seven years of corn came up on the stalk. Rank and good. And behold, 17 years years and blasted with the east winds 7 coins that have been blasted by the east wind lean they sprung up after the the stock rank and good and the 17 years divide the seven rank and. Full years of corn, my God, and may you never be ill favored. If I'll favored means unchosen, I'll never chosen. May you be well favored. And fat fleshed wow in the morning that his spirit was troubled. It came to pass and he sent them called magicians and the wise men and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none that could interpret. Then speak up the chief Butler and said, I do remember my faults this day, Shia. Two years have gone by before you are remembering your faults. You are now remembering your fault after two full years. Is that? Is that how to be thankful? I now remember my faults. He knew that it was wrong. I mean, how can you do that? How can you say thank you by saying nothing? If he says something, let there be any bad response. I mean just mention. If he says mention my name, mention it. Just make mention. Just put in a word. Put in a word. God is expecting you to put in a word to somebody. Somebody by you, somebody in your house, somebody in the area. Put in a word for Jesus. Put in a word. Mention Jesus somewhere. Mention it on the street. Mention it in the house. Mention it in the bath. Put in a word. And you are quiet. Just mention and you have become blind. It's like you are not that zealous. You are not that over righteous Christian lighthouse people. What do you mean by that? What has God done for you? Look. At a young. Person, you are not yet old. You are still fat, flesh and well feathered. It is if you are turning to an I'll feathered cow with lean flesh then we would have said that your time is past. So now you can become a Christian. But once you are well favored and fast fleshed, Christ has saved you. Not as an elderly anti Christian or an uncle, but not yet an uncle. Are you an uncle of somebody? Are you an auntie of somebody? You are well favored and he has saved you. And your response is what? Nothing. You will not even mention Jesus in the in the in your room or to your sister and your own sister. You won't make mention you are just quiet. Also, you are the quiet type. You are the quiet type. You won't mention Jesus in your workplace to the president, to the uncle. Maybe your uncle is the president or your uncle is an important person. You won't even mention it. You have decided to be. Quiet. This is how you say thank you for all that has been done for you. This is how you thank you, thank you. Then all I will say back to you is thank you. Yeah. I will say to you also thank you. Yeah. Some years ago there was a guy who was, you know, we had a problem in the church and then the. Part of the government people came and broke down the walls in the church and there was this guy. He was a Christian and at first he came to help because he said he knows we have not done anything wrong. We were only helping the community. We made St. lights, we gave them table tennis tables, we bought televisions, we helped the committee build toilets, did good things that he knows. So he fought for. Then a time came when the case became greater and more political. Then he told me, he said where the thing has reached, where this case has reached, I have to watch for my job. So he said I will not, I can't talk about this thing again. So we were there when they came and broke down the church walls. Yeah, by by dictatorial power. So when it happened, I met his pastor. I met the pastor of this guy who said he can't speak again because it's affected to affect his job. So he has to choose between. Christ and the Job. So when they broke the walls. I when I saw his pastor, his pastor was Duncan Williams. I told him, tell that guy that I said thank you. I want to say thank you for his for saying nothing. Yeah. And he said and, and Bishop Duncan Williams said to me, I will not say, I will not send that message because he knows that it's a case. When somebody is saying thank you for for, for your nothing, thank you. When Joseph came out of the prison, he could have called. Call me that guy. Because he was. Not a Prime Minister that guy and could have called and said you when you were in prison. You were under threat. I have never been. I have never been threatened. For my life. I was mass. I was in a prison. I was never under threat. You were under threat for your your you were down. One night you came to me and I ministered to you. I struck the way of the law of. Life to you. And for you to understand the power in that prophetic word, God showed you another prophetic word which I also spoke, and both of them came to pass. One was a word of life, one was a word of death. You received a word of. Life. Oh, yes. I was in the present. You didn't you? Didn't you? You said you don't know anybody. You came out by your own powers. You said you came out by your own grace. I thank you. I just want you to know that I'm saying thank you later, before I realized that an assassination attack has taken place. But Joseph, he didn't revenge. That's why he he, he stayed alive. Amen. This day I do remember my faults. Then Pharaoh was rough. With his servants and put me in ward. Both me and the cheap Baker we dream a dream. And everyone had his interpretation. There was a young man, a. Hebrew. He interpreted to us his dream. It came to pass. I was restored, and he was hung. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaped himself, changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. God forced his release, and Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Have dreamed a dream. There is none that can interpret. And the 70th Pharaoh said unto Joseph. In my dream I stood by the bank, and I saw seven kind, fat, flesh and well favored. Father, make your children in Botswana fat, flesh and well favored. Sheep. In Jesus name I pray for them. Amen. And behold, other came, poor and very ill favored and lean flesh. Such as I've never. Seen in the land of Egypt for Vadnais, and the lean and I'll favored kind did eat up the 1st 7 fat kind, and when they had eaten them up it could not be known that they had eaten them, but they were still I'll favored us at the beginning. So I woke. Up like after the ill favored cow ate the fat flesh well favored cow it was still lean. What's a cow? It's a bad cow. May every I'll favored cow that is coming to your house to eat you up and eat up your well favored good fat flesh situation will. Block it in Jesus name, I said. We. Block it in the name of Jesus. We. Block the Arab out of all ill favored cows, snakes and other forms of animals in Jesus name Amen, fish and I saw in my dream all right and behold. Seven ears with that thin and blasted, may every withering wind be diverted from your life, every blasting of the east. Wind we we block it in Jesus name. We divert it in Jesus name, we restrict it in Jesus name. May you never be thin and withered and blasted by an east wind. And the thin years devoured the seven good years. I told this to the magicians. Hallelujah. And the dream, he said, is 1. The seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be 7 years of famine. Hallelujah. So, brothers and sisters, this is one of the stories in the Bible of ungratefulness manifested not by. Like. You doing something evil that you know that. Oh, this is a bad thing. And your evil is your silence. Your evil is your silence. And when we go to heaven, a lot of people are going to pay heavily. It will be the greatest regret of their life that they were silent. How can I be? Silent. How can I be silent? I don't know about you here, but for me. That's why I. Kept on trying to explain what it meant for you to be saved so that you will understand what it means for God to save you and make you a well favored fat flesh. Amen. All pastors who say you are good pastors, a Good Shepherd goes out for the sheep. It's a sign of bad pastors who don't, who are not evangelistic. A lot of my pastors are not good pastors because they are not evangelistic. They don't have breakfast meetings, they don't have gospel outreaches, they don't organize crusades. They even evangelism is stuck on their heart. They are silent and they are quiet. They are. That is their. Response to salvation For me, my favorite singers are singers who sing about salvation. I've noticed. I thought. I think my favorite topic in the whole Bible is salvation. Yeah, yeah. If you listen to Tommy Walker, you find out that most of his beautiful songs are about salvation, pure salvation. And if you listen to Andre Crouch, you find out that most of his songs are about salvation, and you realize that it is salvation for me that strikes. Me as the most amazing and wonderful miracle that has happened to me is that I'm saved. Because I see people cannot easily be saved. No, not easily. I went to a crusade once and after the crusade, sometimes after preaching, you need to relax and unwind. And after the crusade, we went to a drinking spot. Do you understand? We served all sorts of drinks. We went and sat at the corner most of the crusade team and we were having a drink of Coca-Cola water and Miranda and Sprites Fanta. When we finished having our drink, we were going, it was about 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM and as I was going out, we came out to the main entrance and at the main entrance was a door to a building and my assistant evangelist. Doctor Ugo. He said this door, it is a door to a He said this is a door to a discotheque, a club. He said, I've come out of this door many times, this is my door. He said I'll come out at 1:00 AM, then I'll go to another club, then from there I'll go to another club till 5. AMI was drinking vodka 1 bottle at the age of 10. Yeah, or 12. Then as we were standing there, the door opened and a wild guy with muscles and chains came out with hairstyles and. Different things and he. Came out with a very looking eye. I said hey, so I said, doctor, this could have been you. He said yes, this is me coming out. So when I look at the guy, I say what can even save this guy? I don't know the method by which this man will be saved. And yet this, you are standing here, this is the same door you are coming out. A miracle has happened and you are safe today. It is fantastic. For me, salvation is a very great thing. It's the greatest miracle that ever happened. All of you standing here, you know yourselves. You, you know, I mean you. Some of you, I tell you. I mean, please. Look, if you are, look, you see, one day I went to Liberia and a man came and gave a testimony of. How? What bad things he has done, you know. The members of the team and even when I showed a video in church, the members of the. Team were not. Happy with the guys being saved, I said. No, no, no, no, I mean. We were bad, but this guy was. Was, I mean, yeah, yeah. And. They were, they were. Looking at it, but they were complaining. They said no, no, this. Man is just too bad. But the guy was a madra. He said how he used to cut out children's hearts and eat the hearts, and he's now a pastor. One pastor told me he came to my church and gave the testimony when he came into my office. I said don't sit on my chair. I'm afraid of you. But the guy is saying he's saved by grace. You too. You are saved by grace. You've not you've not thought of that one. You know how yours looks like to God? Yeah. You have no idea. So when God saves. You, what do you do? You say? You sit down and no starvation, no crusade. You not do. I do think I do crusade. Do you think it's because the need to travel? Do you think the need to travel? No, Salvation to me is a great thing. Salvation. I feel so happy whenever I whenever I lead people to Christ, I kneel down. So I also give my life to Christ with them. And I also feel so happy to be saved, to have led so many people to Christ, Thousands, thousands, millions even. It's a great thing. Oh, it's all. Good to you. It is a great thing to be saved and I'm happy to be saved. I want to serve God now with all my voice. And my life. And I want to be as far from people who don't want to serve God. I want to preach. I don't want to preach to people who don't like God. I want to preach to people who want God and like God and think that God has done some people there and want to also say thank you to God. Those are the people that I want to talk to. Yeah. That's why I'm in the first life. Church, the First Life Church, They don't have members who sell cutting materials. Do you have? Members in your church who have kitten material. Shops. Kettles you sell kettle. A kettle. Kettle. Great. God bless you do. You have members who are millionaires. You don't need to have members who are millionaires. We are not against millionaires. Thank God for this, that you come and pay for things for us. We are happy. That is not what I want. Rather. People who like God. People, I don't want to be jumping alone and people will be looking at me like OK, all of you be quiet and just fold your arm. Just look at me and I'm happy. You see, I look, I look at an idiot in your presence. I'm so happy the way you are looking at me. I look like. Look at how you are looking at me. I'm in the wrong place. I have to get another group. I can just summarize my message point #7 let us pray. I'm out of here. Me. I'm happy. You look at me. I look like I'm overzealous. I'm excited. One day somebody said Lighthouse people, you are easily. What is it? Young and easily impressionable. Hey, young and easily impressionable because the people are. Happy. One day somebody was listening to her preaching. The people were shouting. They were. Happy, they said the people are not. Mature. They look at you. Look at you. What do you mean we are not mature? You are vaccinated. You say we are not mature. You are falling, you say. We are not mature. You don't love God, that's why I say we are not mature. If you stand. Outside the room of a man who. Is in love with his wife. You may hear shout it's called Soj Shouts. Shouts of joy you hear? Oh, would you not like to hear shouts of joy? Silence, silence. So we are not my choice. Nonsense. One day. A certain girl was. Telling me, she said, Pastor, the number of men that I have slept with and the things that I have done. She said none of I was told, none of them. All of them were married men. She said jumping exercises, everything, All of them old men with pot velies. And because these guys need some excitement, they are not getting it from their auntie, wives, aunties and grandmas. They want some life. Yeah, they say. Have to give them excitement, elderly man. Yeah. Everybody wants something that is appreciative, alive, responsive, with movement, with joy. The sounds of joy. Shots of joy. I think God prefers churches with shouts of joy our. Church shooting reminders of a funeral. Very quiet nonsense. You see people. Used to say when I was younger, I mean, they still say, oh, this is a small boy, you know, it's a young people this or whatever. Yeah, Yeah. But now I'm over 50 and you are telling me that the small boy, small boy, I'm still excited, man. I'm still excited. Listen, those are the back. I hope you have been back slating all. Those in this section here, you must be excited about God. You can't be quiet when you're supposed to talk. I'm supposed to preach. I'm supposed to speak. I'm supposed to. Shout. Hallelujah. Hey, how can I say thanks? How can I say thanks? How? Show me how to say thank you. I'll show you how to say that. Yeah, definitely not by being quiet and silencing yourself. What do you mean? Send to the book of. Esther. Esther chapter 5 verse 9. Esther chapter 5 verse. How many have heard of a Haman? Haman is a very bitter and disgruntled and grateful man. Then went Haman forth. That day. Joyful and Heman is the man who decided to kill Christians. Watch out for those who. Fight churches and fight Christians. They are all humans. Then went Heman for that day, joyful and with a glad heart. But when Heman saw Mordecai, Mordecai, you can call him Uncle Mordecai because Uncle Mordecai was Esther's uncle. Yeah, so Uncle Mordecai was a Christian who did not follow and submit and koto to bitter, disgruntled and aggrieved personalities like Haman. Haman was working for King Ahasiros, full of bitterness, hatred and vengeance. Trying to. Remove Jews from this world, just like the spirit of Iraq trying to remove Christians or these other groups. When Herman saw Mordecai in the King's gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he didn't stand up to greet him. He was full of indignation against Mordecai. Nevertheless Herman refrained himself. And when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zaresh his wife, and Herman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king. Had promoted him. And how he had advanced him above the Princess and servants of the king. And Iman said, moreover, yeah, Esther, the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself, and tomorrow am I invited unto her also with the king. He was very happy about his promotion. What's out for those who are using their powers? In the wrong way. Yet all this availed me nothing, all my promotions. I'm not happy about it. As long as I see Uncle Mordecai the Jew sitting at the King's gate. I don't feel comfortable when I see that man you see destroy our people. When you see them, you don't feel comfortable even if the text is growing. Yeah, when you see them, I'm not happy. And he could see that Uncle Mordecai was not loyal to his cause. Then said Zeresh's wife and all his friends unto him, Let. A. Gallows, that is a hanging chamber, be made of 50 cubits high, that's 50 feet high. A cubit is about 10 inches, I think, and 50 cubits high, that's almost 50 feet. And tomorrow speak unto the king, that Uncle Mordecai may be hanged there on then go down in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused the gallows to be made. But something came up. Everybody said Divine Intervention Chapter 6 and verse one on that night could not sleep. Could not the king sleep? And he commanded the king was restless, nothing had been told him, but he was just sort of a night game that he couldn't sleep. So he commanded to bring the Book of Records of the Chronicles. And they were read before the king in those days they were readers. So as the king was lying, somebody be reading chronicles now Verse. 2 And it was found as they were reading the history, that a certain man called Uncle Mordecai had told of Bignatha and Teresh, 2 of the King's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who had sought to lay hands on the king Hazaros. These were hired assassins, armed robbers and hired assassins inside. They were killers, and Mordecai had exposed them all right. And the king said. What honour and dignity has been done to Uncle Modica for this? This is good work that he did. Like, I mean, how, how did we say thank you to how, how has the state said thank you to Uncle Modica for what he has done? Yes, how has the state? Rendered its thanks to Uncle Mordecai for the things that he has done for the states. Then said the kings servants that ministered to him. There is nothing done for him. Yeah, this is how this is how we have rendered like this is how we have thanked this man. For saving the king from dying after he has saved lives. What has been rendered unto him? And he said, There is nothing done for him. Silence. He had the most silent response even he may even be afraid, thinking that they are thinking that he was part of them. Yeah, there is nothing. Nothing has been done for for say, for this uncle Mordecai what he has done. Wow. And the King said. Who? Is in the court. Now Herman was come into the outward court of the King's house to speak unto the king, to hang the very man, to hang Uncle Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. And the king said man said unto him, Behold, Herman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. So Herman came in, and the King said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighted to honor? Now heaven thought in his hands, To whom would the king delight to do? On a Morgan to myself. So when? When he had the question, I What is to be done for somebody whom the King is happy with? He thought that it was him. So now he. Went to town to describe how to say thank you. Yeah, the seven. And Haman answered the King, For the man whom the King delighteth to honor, the following must be done #1 Let the royal apparel be brought, which the King useth to wear, and the horse that the King rideth upon, and the Crown Royal. Which is set upon his head. And let this apparel and this horse be delivered to the hand of one of the King's most noble Princess, that they may array the man without whom the king delighted to honor, And bring him on horse back through the street of the city, and proclaim before him that shall it be done to the man whom the king delighted to honor. Then the king said to him, and make haste. Take the apparel, take the horse. As thou has said, and do even. So to Mordecai the Jew that seated at the King's gate, and let nothing feel of all that thou has spoken, what a shock. What a shock to Haman the Hatter of the church, the fighter of God's people, the enemy of God, what God is doing, and God's people. And then took Haman the apparel and the horse at the least he had given and arrayed. Mordecai now is now saying thank you as he should have, and brought him on horse back to the streets of the city, and proclaimed before him. Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighted to honor. And Mordecai came again to the King's gate, but Heman hasted to his house mourning, having his head covered. And Heman told Zaresh, his wife and all. His and why should he have put his path into this matter? You know. When you are a wife, you have to be careful that things you put your mouth into. A man told Zeresh his wife, and all he spent everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men, and Zeresh his wife unto him. If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but thou shalt surely fall before him. And while they were yet talking with him, king, the King's Chamberlain, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared. Chapter 7. So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. And the king said again unto Esther on the second day, What is? Thy petition, Queen Esther, shall be granted unto the even up to half of the Kingdom. Then Esther the queen answered and said. Thou I have found favor, then let my life be given at my petition. For we are sold by people to be slain, to be perished. If we have been sold for born men and born women. I would have held my tongue, then the king. Hazara said unto Esther. Who is he? Where is he? Who has presumed his heart to do something like? That Who is the guy? Who is the guy? Wow. And Esther said. The adversary and the enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was his heart was beating before the king and the queen, and the king, arriving from the backwards of wine in his wrath, went into the palace garden. And Haman stood up to make requests for his life to Esther, the queen he was now begging for. He saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. Then the king. Who had gone to the palace garden returned suddenly, and the king returned out of the palace garden into the palace of the banquet of wine, where heaven was falling upon the bed, where on Esther. Was not knowing that Esther was lying on the bed. He had gone to fall on the bed. Then said the king, Will he force the queen? Also, are you going to rape the queen in front of me? As the word went out of the King's mouth, they covered him And's face. When you are dead. They cover your face. Habonna, one of the Chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also the gallows 50 feet high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king standard in the House of Haman. You are rather making something to kill people. May every wicked device, an idea and decision taken against the House of God, against the people of God, be overturned. May they fall into their own gallows and fall into their own traps in Jesus name. And the king said, hang him thereon. So they hanged Haman on the gallows. They are prepared for Modican. Wow. Is it fantastic? Amen. Now this is another story of saying thank you by saying nothing when a good thing has been done for you, all you can do is to say. Nothing. It's a very serious thing. Yeah. And actually, maybe it's what saved Uncle Mordecai's life. Because the thank you came at the right time and mixed up with sorrow. Sorry, I'm sorry about the delay. May you not delay in saying thank you to God. May you not be ungrateful to the Lord for all that He has done and is doing for you. In Jesus name. Stand to your feet, everybody. How can I say thanks? Jose Ho, is that your name? Have you learned how to sing the song? Oh, you are still learning. Keep learning, keep practicing because you've got to sing it before I go Hallelujah, lift your hand and say, Lord, I can't be quiet anymore. No, it's too bad. I've got to, I've got to open my mouth. I've got to do something. I can't. I can't say thank you bye for all you've done for me by saying. Nothing. Nothing to do, nothing to say, nothing. Lord, it gives me good temples to think that I would be quiet and I would save nothing for your kindness. Lord, I could have had a twisted mind, perfected mind, confused mind, a mind that will not like you, a mind that will not believe in you, a mind that will not follow you. But Lord, you have. Touched my heart. You have made me to know you, to like you. You touch my heart to serve you. You touch my heart to follow you and to believe in you. Love when others. Don't believe in you? Why do I believe in you? Why have I found you? Why, Lord, have you shown kindness to me? Why did you send your Angel to my life? Why did you send your Angel to bring me along the way to let me know you? Why did you send your Holy Spirit to convict me of sin and of righteousness? Why did you wake somebody up in the night to pray for me? Why did you send the pastor to preach to me? Why did you send the preacher to talk to me? Why did you send me kind people who have time to follow me up and preach to me when I was difficult? Why, Lord, why have you been so kind? How can I say thanks, Lord? Lord, can I say thank you, Lord? Can I be quiet? Is it the right thing for me to be silent? Is it the right thing for me to do nothing and to just stand there? I say something great, something fantastic, but not talk to me? Oh, Lord, I cannot be quiet. Lord, I cannot say nothing or do nothing. For all that you have said, all that you have done, all that you have shown to me. Who am I, Lord? I should have been a wizard on a waiter. I devil, I prostitute. But here I am in your house, Lord. I cannot be quiet. I cannot do nothing or say nothing. I have to speak, Lord. I have to make mention of what you have done. I have to mention your name, Lord. I have to mention you, Lord. May I not be like the stage that forgot about Angle Monica, like the Butler and the beggar who forgot about Joseph and said nothing, did nothing for two years. My God, you have done too much. Your salvation has saved me from hell, from fire, from perishing, from darkness. You so love me that you said your only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. I thank you. I thank you with my life. I thank you with my words. I thank you, O God, How can I say thanks? I want to say thanks properly, Lord, appropriately. I give you thanks and I praise you, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, lift your hands and thank him. How can I say thanks, Lord? I want to love you, I want to serve you. I want to follow you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, You may be seated in the House of the Lord. Wow. Ask your neighbor. neighbor, are you doing nothing? Saying nothing? You're the silent type, right? You're the quiet type. Tell your neighbor no way. No way. As you never. How can I say thanks to the Lord? Wow. Yeah. You know, I'm going to show you different ways. You can say thanks, but it's one of the ways people are grateful. They say nothing. A few weeks ago I needed the help from 4 people and four people whom I know and knew me. Three of the people said nothing and did nothing. And I will remember them for the rest of my life. Oh yeah, but one person who I didn't know, he said. I can do something, I can say something. The other said I know you, I know you. There I can do nothing, I can say nothing, one said. I can say something. I will not easily forget that because it's a control. It's like the back line, the Baker. You see that? The same case can become this or become this but the hand changes it. There is a boy, his name was Obi Obi. I used to play football in Ghana. We called it Gatta to Gatta because his house was opposite to my house. His house was here and my house was here and in those days were not so many cars. So we played football from my gate to his gate and there was a gatta. You know the gatta is a dream from here to here. So then I crossed the road like that. One day I woke. Up in the morning and I had an Obi was dead yeah, I I played with him. He was dead. Yeah, yes, I go my friend, I played table tennis with him and I played Qatar to Qatar. He's gone and I'm here still here. You. Look, look, look. Look carefully at your life. You think it's automatic for you to be alive? I have a pastor right now. He's dying in the hospital. He's dying young. It's not natural. But people still don't know there's nothing. To do you are the pastor, you are, you are, you are the zealous, you are like kind of like kind of excited person. You are so kind of excited. About you don't know why you are even happy. Just how people. Look at me all that as like you will be happy about something. I don't know, maybe you are like this Bible, whatever. Look, you know something, I don't want to be with you. I don't even want to be in your company. I know you are a Christian. You know you are not happy being saved. Me, I'm very happy about it. I'm telling you, it makes me very happy to be saved. I will prefer to be with people who are very happy about being safe. Tell me. If you like, follow me. You will see I there is no rich. Man around my my life like this man has money, so is my There's nothing like that. Those are not what make me happy. When I see people who are happy to know Christ. Come to me. If whether you are rich or poor. I'm grateful to be saved. I could have been dead, sleeping in my grave. Do you people know how to sing that? Song Yeah, I could have been dead sleeping in my grave, but God blessed me to see another day. Wow, are you? Glad to be saved. As whatever. So how can I say thanks? Make sure you are the next session you'll learn how to say thanks. God bless you who is. Or put your hands together. Put your hands together.
