Well, track number 2100 million sold. Show a video, you understand I have no way of closing the windows or the doors. And I just took an offering. Yeah, I had more than $50,000 dollars, not CDs. Yeah. So, yeah, U.S. dollars. So I'm telling you that there is good in every country. If you think there is, there's good everywhere, there's evil everywhere. There are people who go to different countries, keep on moving from country to country, and each country you go, you eat the bad of that country. You keep getting the bad end of the stick. Yeah, you will eat the bad. And he's given 2 reasons #1 he said if you'll be willing and obedient. Obedience to the Lord is, you know, central to everything that you want to experience from God is obedience to the will of God. It's not about where you are. Every land has good. So those who are fixated, I must go to America, I must go to England, You are fixated on the wrong ideal. In fact, when I was once in England for a year, I encountered great poverty and hunger. And I realized then at that time I was in, I was in London, that if you will be poor, it will be better not to be poor there. You know, it's like prison. If you're going to go to prison, you must choose the right country to go to prison. There are some places, honestly, a prison is not a good idea at all. At some places, the prison, they watch television, they send emails, they go to the gym, they do degrees, they go, they have courses, they have different things. Medical checkup, They have surgery. They are diagnosed of diseases that even they are, they would never have been treated. Yeah, they have. They have a right to what? Yeah, transplant surgery and they have a right to in vitro fertilisation. Yeah, I was reading the newspaper today that some prisoners are going to court because they are trying to block their rights to have IVF, in vitro fertilization. They want to have children through IVF, and they are blocking, They are fighting it. Yeah, right. Something that people who are outside free cannot afford. So the point that I'm making is that every they have conjugal rights as well. Really, this is not that at all. So if you are willing and obedient, you enjoy the good of the land. Now. Kenneth Hagin loves to preach about this particular vest and he said one time he was in his ministry and he was not doing well and he complained to the Lord and he said, Lord, but I'm obedient, I'm doing what you said I should do. And the Lord said, yes, you are doing what I said, but they are not willing, they are not flowing. Yes, they are obedient, but you are not willing. You are not happy and flowing to do what you are doing. And that is why you are not being blessed in what you are doing. It's like you are doing it grudgingly and on women that you are doing it is like what did they say I should say? What did they say I should say? Have I told you that story before? I'll tell you again. There was a certain man who had a certain wife and the wife was and the wife and her husband were having a big quarrel. So the family members came around and they discussed with them and in the end they decided that the wife was at fault and they were sitting in a big circle. So then they said to the wife that she should. Well, are you the wife? Are you the? OK, so then they decided that the wife should apologise and that she should go round and apologise to everybody and to apologise to her husband. So she went round like this. She shook hands, she shook hands, she shook hands. And when she got to the husband, she shook hands. And then she turned to the people and said, Mina Keke, which means what did they say I should say? What did they say I should say? Now it was the husband who was telling me the story. The husband was telling me the story. And he told me that when somebody tells you something like that, tell me to apologise. And you tell us. What did they say? I should say it means it's not a real apology from your heart. You are just obedient, but you are not willing. They are obedient, but you are not willing. And he threw that wife out of the house. Yeah. He threw the wife out and and got himself another one, a willing wife. Now some of you wives, you deserve to be thrown out. That's true long time ago. You deserve to be thrown out. Now when I'm preaching, don't speak back. When I'm preaching, don't speak from your corner because I'm a, I'm a pastor and I'm a Bishop and I can mention so many things that I am. So when I'm preaching, don't speak back from there. And if it affects, I have no apologies. I speak about women or whatever. So, so I've been, I've been in the ministry for some time. What I'm saying? So don't speak from that corner. I hear, I hear them. Hey, some of you deserved to be thrown out long time ago. But The thing is that you married Joseph that Joseph never says what the problem is especially in public. That's a Joseph husband. He will never, he will never expose you and you are just lucky that you are married Joseph. You should thank God that there are some unfortunate sisters who marry non Joseph husband. Yeah, they married on Josephs, Yeah, who will not stand for certain things. Just they will just not take it. If if, if your if your luck falls on the wrong type of person before you realise you are out. Yeah, most of the Christian married Christian couples are married to Josephs, from my experience. They never say so. They also never hear certain things. They don't really say what they are experiencing and so on. People don't really say. They just flow along. It's like, is there something wrong with me rather? Yeah, from my, from my pastoral experience, yeah, One day there was a certain wife. She was searching through her husband's clothes, looking for evidence for her suspicions that she had of her husband. But there are some ladies who are possessed with fears, just as brothers are possessed with lust. We are, we are full of lust. We, we don't deny it. That is, are you full of lust? All brothers who experience last, stand up so that God will give you grace. God will give you grace. Receive grace. OK, sit down. We, we are not denying our problem. Do you understand? But you sisters, we will not admit your diseases. And because of that, you don't get killed. Yeah. So sometimes they are full of fears of everything and it manifests in so many ways. Anyway, so she was searching through and she found a piece of paper in one of the husband's pockets. And she took the piece of paper and she said to her husband, oh shame I've caught you or shell and he looked at her. That's why I said that some people get the wrong person. He get it on Joseph, you are downfall. Do you understand why we say you are downfall? No, not downfall. Downfall, down and fall FOR you are downfall. It means you are finished. It's an expression. You are downfall. He heard the paper, he said, oh, say, I thought from that day he never spoke to her again. He didn't have. He didn't look at her again. Yeah, the the next time that I heard of her, it had been 20 something years. It doesn't speak to her. Yeah. To 20 something. Yes. Not a web. This is a wife. It doesn't look. No interest. Zero word. A no, nothing. Hello, Baba. No, it would have been divorced. There are people like that. Another sister, she said that her husband is a useless guy. He doesn't bring money, is not a certain way, and he's not progressive. He's not this, he's not like this, he's not this, doing this, this. And hey, so one day she said I'm going to my mother's house. So she packed her suitcase and a bag and everything that she's going as she fucked and she was going through the door, she fell down and broke her leg. So the husband took care. Oh why? So he took her to the hospital and they put her leg, whatever he looked after her, paid all the hospital bills, visited her, everything. When she was well, she was still angry. After she was well, she said she's going to her mother's house. God, that one is useless. So she went to the mother's house after she was discharged. As she was in the house, she thought that the husband would come for her. She was in the house, she was waiting because this he has met and on Joseph he didn't know as ona leku he's the cool guy. Weeks went by, weeks and weeks and weeks. I'm telling you, I'm talking from pastoral experience. And then the husband was not coming when he sees her. How are you? Never gets angry. Never see any expression. Yeah. Then she was now desperate for her husband to bring her back to how she had gone. She wouldn't just come. So she came to see the pastor. The pastor, can you talk to my husband to call me to come back? So the pastor said no problem, I'll, I'll sort it out for you. So he called the husband. Come called the wife. What is the problem? They are all in the church. And then he said, look, the wife has to come back. And the husband said, oh, it's OK, she should be at where she is. It's all right. The pastor said no, no, no, no. He has to come and say, oh, it's all right, it's all right. She should be. She's OK. She should be at where she is. No, no, no. After today, be at where you are. I'm a bad man. You are whatever. Be there. That's after today. Yeah. No, it's OK. Be there. So in case you meet one, it's just this type of people you will be, you are down for play some games. You realize that this one was not a juicy. And I, I, I, I I play the wrong part. And it has gone against me. Yeah, it has gone against me. I didn't know it would turn against me. Yeah. Anyway, back to our willing and obedience. So you need to be both willing and obedient. And many people are not willing or flowing and are not obedient. So when they are in a in a place, they don't enjoy the good of it. And same thing in marriage. If you are not willing or flowing and obedient, you don't enjoy that marriage. Somebody else would have had a good time. Somebody would have been very happy to be married to what you have. Oh yeah, somebody would have taken it as a total blessing. And you, you, you, you don't get blessed. You don't enjoy it. You don't have a good time. You don't enjoy the good of that land which God has given you because you are so resistant and you are so bizarre, bizarre and beastly many times. You know, we see when we when we have we have types of husbands, types of wives. Let's take husbands. We have a one husbands. We have a up to ZA one A2A3A4 a five then B1B2B3B4B5 husband C1X1X2X3X4X5Z1Z2Z3Z4 ZZ 5 is the last corner and some of you daughters bless you with B1A5. Some people have to be a one but you don't enjoy it. You are not a happy person. Yeah, look, if you look into your lives, you find that most of us are not happy people. But people outside look and say this and my it is an A2. It's true from the outside. Look, that's a five straight, straight I give him. But to you, it's not a good thing. It's X5. I am trying to explain to you that not knowing that God has given you a good land, but you are unable to eat the good of that land. Yeah, you don't enjoy that land and and the reason is that if you are willing and obedient, you will have the good that is in the land. Every land has good and has bad in every country. I can take in my wallet. I have Zimbabwean dollars. I have $10 billion notes. I have $1 billion. I have so many notes. The highest I think I have is $50 trillion. I have it in my wallet and it's a country that even doesn't have a currency today. You use every currency you have to buy anything, start African runs dollars, U.S. dollars, anything at all they don't have. But when you go to the country, you see people there eating the good of Zimbabwe. I was there, Yeah, I've been there. I was there. If not last year, I think the year before I was there, not even in the capital, You see people eating the good of that land. Every country. If you go to Nigeria, you see people eating the good of the land. There is. There is good in Nigeria, There's good everywhere. There's nothing like good somewhere. This is the good place. Then why would people commit suicide? The highest suicide rates, one of the highest in the world, is Switzerland. If it was just because of the Swiss mountains and the stable currency and the stable currency and the chocolates, and that's what is good, then we would have said that. We would have said that it's a good thing. But when I went there, I saw a lot of evil, a lot of evil. So it is important that in obeying God and being willing, sometimes the obedience even doesn't. You don't even get to the obedience part, but just the willingness part that I'm ready to do. This causes you to eat the good that is in that country. And I tell you many of us here, I am not eating the good of the land because we are resistant to flowing. Now in the very next verse, verse 20, it tells you what's going to happen, says that if you refuse, the opposite of willing and obedient is refuse and rebel obedience willing. The opposite of willing is refuse or resistance, and the opposite of obedience is rebel. OK, so he says, but if you refuse and rebel, not that you eat the bad or the land, but you will be devoured, you will be eaten. The first one, you will not eat the good or the, but in this one you will eat the food that will be eaten. Yeah. So you find that people who are stubborn and resistance. You see, I've been devoured with the sword, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. I came here some years ago and I held a camp. I held a camp here on what is your life? And I spoke and I thought about mortgages. When I went back, I regretted speaking about that topic here. Yeah, because a lot of response to that message was simply to do the opposite of what I had thought. That was the response to that message. So I wished I had kept my revelation to myself. And the result of that has been that the land has divide. People are being consumed in the land, and instead of being blessed, they are consumed. This man, the man who sang. Hello. Is it me you're looking for the the one who sang that song? Yeah, I hear. I hear he become a Christian. And he was being interviewed, yeah, it was being interviewed on either TBN or Daystar, one of these places. And he said I have seen the 3DS of my life in my life, the 3DS that have destroyed my life #1 disease #2 deaths and #3 deaths. I think his wife has died or some other. I've seen the 3DS disease as you ask yourself that a man who has sung such songs that are enchanted and charmed people and deluded them about love, but the whole God knows these songs and you have earned so much money to experience death is just incredible. I can see that a nation that could have been blessed or even people that could have been blessed here are not being blessed, they are being devoured. That is why I can stand in a branch somewhere and race in just one morning and I was. I was told that the lights are going off at 12, I should finish preaching by and everything by 12. The lights are going on. No power. I have to summarize my message and everything and quickly get out of there. Yeah, it shows you something that goodness and good is not just in a place, but it is in being willing and obedient to God and to what He says, so that God can let you eat the good of that particular place where you are. Otherwise the place will eat you up. The place will eat you up and turn you into something you never imagined and destroy your life. You will be divorced, you will be destroyed. You will, you will be diseased, you will be destroyed. You will be, you will go down instead of going up instead of this thing becoming a blessing to you. Yeah, because if your pastor stands before you, engage the God-given wisdom and all that you have to do is ravish it and die fit and say that it's nothing even to consider it. And the few people that I've seen who I've considered it, I've seen them just enjoy the good of the land, the old people. That's why the Bible says that if there had not been a remnant, would have been no point. Yeah. So I'm just saying this, you know, that God, I believe God wants us to enjoy, you know, if you are in America, honestly, if I come from Ghana, we are 24 to 25 million people, at least 24 out of 25,000,000. I mean, except the newborn babies, all the people are trying to come to America if they can get the chance that you are here and it is not turning into anything good for you. What a shame. So I'm, I'm saying this because God is doing two things. One is for you to obey him even like I said, even your marriage. If you like relax a bit in your marriage, just relax a bit. When the Bible says if you'll be willing just flow a bit, try flowing. Try flowing. I'm telling you, try flowing. But if you look at it like, realize that you think you are being somewhere, but you are being consumed, you are also being destroyed as you grow up and you become more resistant, more beastly and more opposed to flowing. Yeah. More bizarre for you, life is more bizarre. Think about it. As your pastor, I've been preaching. You wouldn't even listen to listen to a message on the Internet, you know, even to be even interested. Let's say you were even interested, or your pastor is preaching in your branch or your Bishop here is preaching. I'm not even interested. And the window, I said they're not flowing. It's like when something you are doing something, it's like it's as if they're pulling your tooth out. Oh, there's no flow. You can never enjoy good things. That is why when you look at young people, you see them happy flowing, because by nature it's not because they are spiritual. No, no, no. It's the season of their life there, he says. No, listen, the most flowing people in my life, the most flowing today, the most flowing people that I work with, the Bishop Saki and Bishop Eddie. Oh, yeah, I've been Bishop Saki. They are in their 50s. I'm in my 40s. And so they're the most flowing people up till today and I've been with them for years. It's not, it's not young people. They're in their 50s. They are more and to that that is a spirituality that makes them flow that young people. It is nature that makes it because a young tree can be bent. A young child is more flexible acrobatics. You can sleep on a bed that is Kevin. Nothing happens to you. But an older person is naturally stiffer. But your flowing is not something you should be so proud about because it's just that season. If that flowing nature exists into older seasons, then I will say that yes, you are really a flowing person. Then you are really a flowing person. I say that if I say that Bishop Saki or Bishop Eddie, they are the most flowing. I've been with them for years. Anything that I suggest, I'm I'm somebody who has ideas all the time. All the time. I have ideas Hey. So if, if if you are not flowing you, you, you, you will, you will be irritated. You come and say last time this what you said, now you have changed everything and now you are doing this new thing, you know, but if you look, you see that it's the same direction we are going, but it's, there's a flow. So willingness and obedience will cause you to benefit and be blessed in the land, in the chest, in the marriage, in everywhere. Now, amazingly, some of the most stubborn and resistant people are phlegmatics because of their coolness. Because of their coolness. Just easy going. Yes pasta, but they will never change. Yes, they will never change. OK, they will never change. They never change their mind and never do what is right. Although they are smiling, they say yes Sir, yes Bishop, yes pasta, that they will never change their mind truly, but it's time, Amen. That will start to say yes Lord, yes Lord. I really want to say yes, Lord, and that yes will be a real yes. Instead of saying no, you know, one day I read a book and the book said Jesus always said yes. I was surprised. He said anybody who asked him for something, he said yes. Will you come to my house? Yes. Will you heal me? Yes. Will you lay your hands on me? Yes. Are you willing? Yes. Jesus always said yes. I was touched and I decided to say yeah, why people come to me so that you want to take a picture of it and say yes, why not take and like the people around me will be at a point they become trying to trying to protect me because some people are some people are irresponsible. It's a nice way of of describing it. Are you listening to me? But you learn to say yes, somebody asks you, can I borrow money? I'll just give you people who ask me, can you lend, lend me. I don't learn. I give because people who are borrowing money usually can never pay back. No matter what they say, they can never pay. You have to grow up to learn that the man who is borrowing from you has a problem. That problem has made him come and that problem is getting worse through you. You are the help that he is going to stand upon to go deeper in his difficulty. It's true, because borrowing does not cure borrowing. So now they say, come financial consultant, we'll put all your debts together and manage everything for you. Amen. Tell somebody you have to say yes to the Lord. Yes, the Lord, I really do want you. Yes, the Lord, I really do need you. I need you whispering in my ear. I feel you tugging at my heart and knocking on my door. Oh yes, Lord, I really do want you now. Yes, Lord, I really do want you. Yes. Lord, I really do need you. I hear you whispering in my ear, feel you tugging at my heart, knocking on my door. Oh, so yes, Lord, really do want you now. Do you want to live forever? Say yes Lord. Yes, Lord. Do you want your sins forgiven? Say yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. So yes, Lord, I really do want you. Yes Lord, I really do need you. I hear you whispering in my ears. I. See. You slugging out my heart and knocking on my door, I'll say yes, Lord. I really do want you now. Do you want to have a say? Yes, Lord? Yes, Lord. Do you want to put him first day as Lord? Yes, Lord. Do you want to have a purpose in everything you do? The Lord has a plan for you, just for you. Just say yes, Lord. I really do want you now. Yes, Lord, I really do want you. Yes, Lord, I really do lead you. I hear you whispering in my ears, feel you tugging at my heart, knocking on my door. I'll say yes, Lord, I really do want you now. Or can't you hear him? You are first healing and you don't have a warning. Can't done then you'll never hurt you. You stick beside you and He will be with you to the end. To the end. So say yes Lord, I really do want you. Yes Lord, I really do need you. I need you whispering in light, I feel you tugging out my heart and knocking on my door. Oh, oh, say yes Lord, I really do want you now. Anybody here want to say yes Lord, I really do want you. Yes, Lord, I really do need you. I hear you whispering in my ears, feel you tugging out my heart, knocking on my door. So lift your hand. Say yes Lord, I really do want you now. Somebody When you say yes, Lord, I really do want you. Yes, Lord, I really do need you. I hear you whispering in my ears, feel you tugging at my eye, knocking on my door. Say yes, Lord, I really do want you now. Hallelujah, Isaiah chapter 2. Now you see, God is now saying good things, and it has come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow onto it. Amen. Can you relate with that? How many can relate with that? I told you how to understand it, isn't it? It shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the lothouse, in other words, the church will be established in the top of the mountains. That means that it will be very high and great. All right visible shall be exalted, and all nations shall flow into it. So God is going to use His church great, make His church so great that the greatness of the church will be seen in the fact that the nations of the world flow into the church. If the nations of the world are flowing out of the church into other religions, there is something wrong. And we can never call ourselves an established church unless the nations are flowing into the church. The church in America is not established until the nations. We need to have totally Hispanic churches. Lighthouse. You see, this church will not be established in America. There will be Americans, real Americans, people who can stand for president in the church, just to simplify the definition of an American people who can stand for elections. Can you stand for elections? No, there are some qualifications you don't have. You be like Arnold Schwarzenegger. You see that you are. You are not so long in America, you get it that you cannot become the president. Yeah. So all the nations within America will flow into the church here. And the same way worldwide, all nations must flow into the church. So the church must be concerned about the nations. That's what I'm saying, that it is easy for us to end our work as a church by being happy with ourselves and content. You know, every time I learn in America, I see how you people are so content with yourselves. I see that when I arrive at the airport, because the the nation is so great, so vast, so different from other countries in the world, that it explains why America has taken upon itself to be a policeman, a international policeman of the world. Yes, well, police everywhere is a policeman. And no wonder a lot of people hate America so much because he has taken upon himself to be an international policeman. If there's fighting in Syria, Liberia, Ethiopia, everywhere, Mali is also there joining in the confusion there. But it is when you come here that you will understand why America does something like that. Because when you come here, you see that aeroplanes are like buses. Aeroplanes are like buses. The things that are being done in the country are advanced compared to other places. Yeah, if you land at the airport in Gambia, or you land at the airport in Dakar, or at the airport of Conakry or at the airport of Accra, you will understand how America is a very great country. Very, very, very great. Are you listening to me? And therefore you'll understand why most people who live in America are myopic to the highest degree, short sighted and with a tunnel vision as though they have glaucoma. Yes. So when you have glaucoma, you will be seeing normally that what is affected is your visual fields. The field around which you can see changes and it becomes less, but you will be seeing normal. So you will not know that you have a problem and it's getting smaller. So when you are here, you can easily be so narrow minded about everything. You don't even, you don't there's no time even to have news. It's when you come here and you go to an airport, an American airport, and you see a plane like KLM or British Airways. You say it's an unusual plane that is parked on the tarmac. Very strange because every other place, American air, US air, this, whatever KLM, it's like very, it's like, what are you doing here? Even what is KLM? You are just a small fry. And if you go to other parts of the world, it's also different. So the point that I'm trying to make is that if you live here, I will not be surprised if the nations of the world mean nothing to you and even where you came from means nothing to you. And it happens to normal Americans and it happens to lighthouse Americans. This is the only church from where I have not got even 1 missionary here. I have got missionaries from South Africa, missionaries from England, missionaries from Ghana, missionaries from Kenya, all over except America. Yeah, maybe one if I think about it. Yeah, it's true. When I see you, I don't sense in you any need to go anywhere. Yeah, I don't sense any need in you to go anywhere or do anything. All that you have is a need to just get more things and that scripture has been fulfilled that you are not eating the good of the land. You are here, but you are not getting the good part of the the land. The good part of the land is there, but you are not included in it. It's true because in every nation there are people who eat the good of that land. So if the church is going to be established, then we must take up the challenge that the church should become great and mighty both in America and in the whole world. The nations of the world must come into the church. All nations read it. All nations shall flow unto it. There's a prophecy of Isaiah. Are you there? Are you still around? Now there's three. And many people shall go and say. Many people shall go and say, Come and let us go to the mountain of the Lord, to the House of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his path. Many people will be Christians, Many people will know the Lord and say, let us go to the house, to the Lord, to the House of the God of the, and he will teach us, and we will walk in his path. For out of Zion, son, go for the law, and the word of the Lord will go out from Jerusalem, Hallelujah. And he shall judge among the nations, and rebuke many people, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, Hallelujah. And at the end of this voices, and neither shall they land war anymore. You see all the fighting that we are having amongst ourselves. Do you have marital parallels in America? Do you have my look when I preach about the marriage? Since you looked at me? Like I said, maybe I have problems. So I'm coming to talk about things because you don't understand. It's like you are, you look down on me, I'm preaching, you are looking down on me. You wait and see. You see something that will happen to you. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their Spears into pruning hooks. And nations are not lift up swords against nation, neither shall they land war anymore. Yeah, because when you follow the law, you become peaceful. You become a Joseph. You just accept it as it is when Satan offers you and he says look at look at your marriage. It is a stone. Turn it into hot bread. You need hot bread, Fresh, soft. Yours is a stone. Your life is a stone. Financially stone. Turn it into a hot breath. God would have worked on your heart and you will say, Satan. Even when I turn it into bread, I will need butter as well. Do you have some? I will need tea. Do you have tea? I will need jam. Hey, I will need a toaster. I need bread knife. So it's not only bread that I need. When I have it, I will need more things. So I'm OK with the stone. If God has chosen to give me a stone, I'll take it like that. I will be with the stone like that. It is over. I will stay with the stone like that. I can't change it because man cannot only have. When I take the bread, it's not the only thing I need to let by or to be happy with. I will need butter. I will need Milo. I need milk. I need sugar. Hey, I need a toaster. I need some eggs to go with the bread man, that's only the only bread you have. You have bacon, you have sausages. Hey, I need more things. So based on that and with the stone, it's OK, I will stay with it like that. But only the word of God can cause you to say this sword, which I've been using to fight, I'm going to turn it into a rake so that I rake my garden like an old man who is just raking the leaves. It used to be a sword and you become calmer and calmer and calm, but you are not becoming calmer. You are becoming more agitated. You are becoming more ill natured, difficult to deal with. Difficult because you are an empty barrel, never receiving the laws of the Lord and God wanted to bless you. So I'm telling you, you know, this is a revolutionary message from the Lord to us in America. Amen. And He is showing us many good things. Hallelujah. Now verse 13. I cannot see the verse. Verse 11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. For the Lord day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon everyone that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted up, and he shall be brought low. Many of you have been humbled in America. You have been brought down. God has chosen America to level you to the basics. Ground Zero to teach you humility, to be cool. When you see people insulting pastors. Some of you are sitting there because of trouble that you have seen. That's why you are coolly as if you don't know anything. You are sitting down that time. Nobody knows the troubles you have seen. If you hadn't seen certain troubles, you wouldn't be sitting here coolly like a statue. Hallelujah and the 16 Isaiah chapter 3. The ladies, because the daughters of Zion, are Horty and walk with stretched pot necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go and making a tinkling with their feet. Therefore the Lord will smite with a scarf that's a sword, the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret paths. Some of you don't know that some of the serial fornications you have been doing is one of the punishments that God has given you to discover your secret paths. They have sent you for various training and discipline, bound from passing to person, passing to person, 1 to one you have been moving, sometimes 2 at a time. In that day the Lord would take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet and the chains and the bracelets and the mufflets and the bonnets and the ornaments of the legs and the headbands. You have headbands more and the rings and the nose jewels, the swing between the rings and the nose jewels and the changeable suits. Change of dressing that dresses you cannot find. Even the wardrobes in your house haven't got enough space for the number of things that you have, the changeable suits of apparel and the mantels and the wimbles and the crisping pins, the glasses and the fine linen and the hoods and the veils. And it shall come to touch that instead of a sweetener of Calvin Klein, there shall be a stink. Can you relate with this prophecy? God is saying that you will smell. Every day you are finding different perfumes. It's now that your smell is going to come forth and instead of a ghetto, a rent and instead of well set hair, Brazilian hair instead of Brazilian hair and baldness I. And instead of well set Brazilian hair baldness, you see that your hair is finished. You become like a boy. And instead of a stomach, things that you use for your stomach shape yourself a gaining of sack flow. That is, you will be covered with morning clothes and banning instead of beauty, banning inflammation, diseases will be a patient. Instead of beauty, you will be in the ward for examinations, tests and investigations to be carried out on you instead of your beauty because of too big. Wow. Oh pride. One of the symptoms of pride is stubbornness and resistance to instructions. Stampedness and hardness and unchangeability. You have turned the model marriage counselling manual into nonsense. Even when Major Mephel was alive, he at that point, he was tired of counselling. Yeah, he said he doesn't like counselling again. Me too. I stopped counselling. I said this day I only counselling anybody. They will not do it. Emma. Is it not true? Yeah. He was tired of it. You have turned it into nonsense. It's nothing. You will never do it. Counselling, talking, talking, talking. You will never change. God said I will give you if you will. I said you will go for X-ray. You will go for blood test. You during test, stool test. Every test. Established investigations Instead of your beauty, see that you are now in the hospital. Instead of a beautiful lady, you are now a specimen, and thy men shall fall by the sword. God will make you lonely. See that there is nothing left of you. Be in the house alone. Big house. Be in the small room like that. That's when you see that it was good that this person was there. We were always complaining. Now that you see there was a use of the person. And her gates shall lament and moan, and she being desolate, shall sit upon the ground. And in that day, seven women shall take hold of one man saying this is an era where there will be no, there will be. You will be looking for husbands. See, when you look somewhere, you see that this things are happening. 17 women in the church charging, charging. It's mine, it's mine. It's mine. It's mine, It's mine. I have booked him. I was first. I have booked him. I was first. I came before the hotel pastor. I came first. I've booked him. See when children, children come to that and say I've booked the the window, I'm sitting by the window, I've booked the bathroom, there's only one. I've booked the bath. I've booked him first. You'll be booking brothers. I've booked him, I've booked him. Serving. Women shall take hold of one man saying we will eat our own bread. Which means that don't worry about finances, even the engagement, I'll finance it myself. Don't worry about finances at all, I'll finance the engagement myself. I'll finance the marriage myself. I don't need anything, I just need a man I'm talking about. It is the good of the land. I'll fly you in. I'll get a green card for you. I'm here. 7 women will take hold of one man and say we will wear our own. Don't have to buy anything for me in this marriage. I will buy everything my mother will buy for my father only. Let us be called by thy name. We want to be the missus. We want to be Mrs. This misses this, misses this misses this. We don't even want to care for you. We don't even need to love you or to even experience love. We just want to have a ring. Wear the name and put photograph in the house and say where is your husband? That is my husband. That is their picture. You see the house? No, he is in another country. He's in Kenya. He's in Kenya, but that's him over here. That's our picture, that's all. I don't need anybody in the house. Wow. You see, pride is not a good thing, and being too big is not a good thing. God is trying to to help us, Amen. To do well, Amen. Chapter 5 and verse 13. Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge, and their honorable men are furnished. Amen. Now verse 14. Therefore hell has enlarged herself. See, the effect of the pride and the lack of knowledge and the emptiness of Christians is this hell has enlarged herself and opened her mouth without measure, when we say without measure to the maximum. And their glory and their multitude and their pomp. And he that rejoiceth shall descend into it. Amen. So, ladies and gentlemen, I want to end tonight's session. Most of you are tired. I want to end tonight's session by saying that the sum effect of our conjoined and combined disobedience and unwillingness is that hell is receiving an unprecedented supply of souls. And that is why I have titled our Partners Conference. This is not a camp. It's a Partners conference. 100 million souls. If listen, be in America. This is the negotiation that the Lord wants to have with you. Be in America. Be in America to win 100 million souls involves you also being in America. It involves you being in America, it involves you being wherever you are because there's a role that you can play. But if even past you are here, it's of no use and that people who are in impoverished developing countries are rather able more to donate to help the work of God, then what is the whole point in your having forsake because some of you are actually priests then are parading as businessmen and parading as masquerading as I don't know what professions you have. Yeah, you are actually priests. You are lost. You've lost your way. That's why the law said, OK, come let's reason together. Come, let's discuss it. Come let this you know one time I had a pastor, you know, I really love him. He was with me in Ghana and he said he was, he was going away. I said, I said, why did you go away? Why do you go away? There is work. Let's work for God here. I talked and talked to him. He wouldn't go. As soon as I realized that he was he was he was not going to go. I said, OK, look, I will help you to go. How much is your ticket? Come, let's reason together. And I, I, I decided to help him to go to where he was going to go. Yeah, I will help you because that's what you have decided to do. And no one can change the heart of a man. Only God pray that you don't get somebody to marry whose heart is not following you. Well, Amen. Are you listening or you are going home? I'm ending on. I'm ending. And I want you to listen carefully. I'm saying that if you're being here is of no use, then what is the use? It must be of use. You must make a difference as far as the souls in this world are concerned for Satan to have opened his mouth wide without method. Like, it's like your temporomandibular joint is disconnected and you have just opened it very wide. Huh. Why? Because we are so proud, so difficult, so disobedient, and we don't flow. I want this camp to be a this camp, whatever you call it, to be a solemn meeting, to be a turning point in your existence in America. Can I have an e-mail from somebody? I want you to be the most blessed people in America. Only a mad pastor doesn't want his people to prosper. Only a mad pastor who doesn't understand his work doesn't want his people to prosper. He's mad. It cannot be that. I do not want it. I need you to prosper badly. Amen. So let's visit together. This is the big problem. Hell has enlarged herself and opened her mouth beyond measure to receive millions of souls. When I was in the car when we came back from the crusade, I went to sleep. Actually that doctor Go and some people were on the field on the last night. They were helping to pack down, so they came back to where we were staying. He came back to the house at about 4:00 AM. When he came back, he told me that he said look, when he got to the area where we were staying, he could not believe it. The whole street was full of people. They have now come to party and to drink and to full in the middle of the night. French people, French speaking Senegalese. Yeah, wow. As a French, their life is totally different. So brothers and sisters, don't be afraid that if you are friends, come on, wake up, grow up, grow up. You're tired of those type of things. What I'm saying is that God wants us to turn around and make our presence felt in the campaign to stop the strong advancement of thousands of souls into the Kingdom of darkness. Two weeks ago, I went to the University of Science and Technology to preach in Ghana. On the first night, 1800 students came forward to give their lives to Jesus and on the second night, more came. Over. 3500 plus students gave their lives to Christ in those two days and the universities in Ghana have become havens for all kinds of wickedness. They come for them with vases, beach parties in the night. You would have thought that the beach party would be during the day. 10 buses full of students and they leave at 6:00 PM. They go to the sea and the students fall up going wow. They go wild and they come out. Why should I not go to that school and stand in the way of the people that are going to hell hey? So, my friend, we need you to stand up and be counted. And so God has given me the vision for 100 souls, one million, 100 million souls. Amen. And I want you to join in the vision. And your presence must be useful, otherwise it's of no use. You might as well return to a place and enjoy the good of another place. Yeah, return to sender. Somebody is saying return to sender. I want to show a short video on just. It's just for two minutes. And then after that we are going to take an initial offering because it's a partners conference. I'm going to take offerings upon offerings upon offerings. If you don't want to, please leave immediately after we close. Just go back to where you came from. What do you think? Is it a good idea? I always like people to know in advance. We rarely need help. You know, when they presented me the bill for the Crusades that we have. And it's the cheapest I'm always fighting. I'm always fighting to do the cheapest possible ways of doing everything. You can trust me for that. That's one of the reasons why we are we are blessed. It's one of the things that we that we that God has blessed have we do things in an easier way, in a cheaper way like wear one pair of shoes to the sport. It has traveled more than you have ever travelled. Yeah, recently I noticed that it has developed some injuries, so I took it to the shoe doctor. Are you listening? Yeah, it's happy to be rich. So what I'm saying to you, Amen. What I'm saying to you is that your presence must, must, must count. And God has given us a vision for 100 million souls. It's not a small number. Now, God willing, tomorrow I'm going to explain to you more about that, but 100 million souls will never be possible by our church planting that we are doing. Never. Look, I am in my 40s. If the Lord allows me, you understand, If the Lord allows me, I will be 50. And that has an implication. It has a great implication. Yeah. It signifies the end of something I'm telling you, and I will explain it to you tomorrow. Yeah, it's not just a milestone. It signifies something. I'll explain it to you tomorrow. And there is no way that all these churches we are doing will ever amount to even even 1,000,000 souls. Then count it and add it. Count it and add it. It will never reach anywhere in this vision. Other things have to be done apart from what we are doing to plant churches and we have to continue the planting of the churches also. Are you listening to me that God wants us to be involved and in Africa for now. You see it all depends on the Lord and if it pleases Him and if it is his will. If it is will, it goes on. If it's not his will, I don't need it, I don't need it. I don't need what you are doing. So as long as you are playing football and the coach say come, come, come off and say the person doesn't want to come off. He said please come off the field now I don't need you, I don't need you as a striker. But it all depends on the Lord. So God is giving us a vision of 100 million souls. If you don't like souls, you should join another church. I think you should go to another church. There are so many churches in America. And if you need any help to find another church, you can see me after church. I'll give you addresses or names. You can Google. Now we have Googling services. You can Google everything. You can find even a restaurant. If you want a Nigerian restaurant, you just say Nigerian restaurant in Philadelphia and you see all of them show up right now. Is it not true? All right, so how many are going to be greatly involved in this wonderful vision for souls? It's going to change everything about us. And so we are going to be involved not just in planting churches, but in winning 100 million souls. And there are many ways to do that, including church planting and evangelism. Since healing Jesus Crusade began. Listen, hey, are you there? Since Healing Jesus Crusade began? All right, listen. Since Healing Jesus Crusade began, we have been actually having Healing Jesus Crusade for 10 years. Yeah, amazing. Every year we learn more things and we have been persisting in doing it. At first we were only in Ghana and now we have been to so many countries and the picture is worse than you can even imagine. Far worse, but by the grace of God when we checked we God has given us over 8 million souls have been won through healing Jesus to save. Amen. And that is a blessing. Now I calculated if I go from sub-Saharan Africa, because now the upper part, you cannot even go there. If you go to Mauritania, they will execute you just now. Sharp Yeah. Now if I go to all the countries that are below those countries in Africa, there are 40 of them. Forty countries, Cameroon, Congo, Congo, Brazzaville, Nigeria, Gabon, Botswana, Angola, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Lesotho, Seychelles, Sao Tome, their islands, all those places, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda. There are 40 if I'm to have 5 crusades in each one and we have been able to have 10 crusades every year maximum. If I have to have 5 crusades in each of these 40 countries, it will take us 20 years. Yes, it will be 200 crusades and 10 crusades a year, 20 years, yes, 20 years from now. And he said there is nobody doing anything. When we go look all the places where we go, it's like that's never come on before. When you see Guinea Bissau, you'll be surprised. You say, wow, they've never seen a crusade. They don't even know how to behave. I'm telling you, shouting, talking, they have no idea what is involved in a church. Amazing, Amen. Are you listening? So what we are going to do is to carry on to win souls for the Lord, Amen. If you don't like soul winning, do what? Check out the where another church. Yes, there are so many churches. So we are not the only church and we are not the best church. If we were even the best church, it would have been different and we are not even the best. Do you understand? So I want us to just watch this clip for two minutes and then you need to turn off the lights. The light, man, you need to turn off the light first before you start. There's some fantastic lights here. I don't know who brought them. Yeah, so I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you this video until we are tired of it. Do you understand the thing looks very WAVY. Is it going to work not of waves?
