Welcome to track #22 of wiser serpents. Masters of speed. Now yesterday you saw the snake, the black mamba. You know when a man is running, he runs at what do you call it? How many? I think it's 14 mph is the top speed something like that for a man. And the black mamba was matching that by the guy. And honestly, there was a snake I saw here one day. That was when I recognized and began to have a proper respect each which snakes move. I thought they were just like this, slowly moving, when the snake saw that I had spotted it and it was gone right here on the grass over here. So every time I go to that particular place, I remember the snake that I saw and it has disappeared. I've never seen it again. Masters of camouflage, masters of obscurity. Wow. How many are becoming wise, as wise as serpents? Is it fantastic? Are you going to sing something for us? What? Are you going to say something? No, no, I don't want to hear that. Now you have the time. Can you sing that? Sing that one? Masters of speed. Tell somebody you know. We, we, we, we, we saw masters of quick development. And what? And growth. Maturity. From day one you can kill. From day one you can preach. From day one you can say. From day one you can pray. From day one you can start the test. From day one you can heal the sick. From day one you can have visions. From day one you can have words of knowledge. That's the wisdom of a serpent of day one. And that's what happened with Paul. As soon as he was safe, straight away he was a preacher. Straight away, straight away he became a preacher. There was no Delco Bible School, no delay, no shepherd's meeting, no ABS, nothing straight preaching. And the persecution started immediately. Wow, what are you going to say? Well, sing it then. Now is the time. Oh, now is the time. Take it now, it's the time. Now you have the chance. Don't let it slip by you. You must take it by the hand. Never, never let it go. You must work for him, so you must work for him. It is Jesus calling now it is Jesus. Listen to them. So don't look to your left, don't look to your right. You will stand alone when you meet the law on the judgement day. On the judgement day. Yeah, yeah. Now you have the chance. The Lord is calling you. Please don't let the devil cheat you. You must listen to the Lord. You must write for him. Say you must write for him. Here's Jesus calling now. Here's Jesus. Listen, listen. Don't look too young. Here's Jesus calling. Now listen, I said, don't look to God, don't look to your right. So people stand alone when you meet the Lord on the judgement day, on the judgement day. Now you have them. What is? Can you please the devil cheat you? You must listen to the Lord. I mean, you must work for him. You must work for him. Hey, you must work for him right now. You must work for him. I must work for him. Say I must work for him. I must work for him right now. I must work for him every morning, you know, night. It doesn't matter where you are. I say I must work for him right now. I must work for him in the morning, you know, night. It doesn't matter where you are. I must watch for him right now. I must watch for my day. I must watch for him. Sing with me. I must watch for him. I must watch for him right now. I must watch for him. I must watch for him right now. I must watch for him. Now is the time the Lord is calling you. Now is the time the Lord is calling you. I'm not right for him right now. I see that you know it, you know it, you know it. You know it. You got to. You got to, you got to. I must start talking right now. Fire for him. Oh, I must run for him. Yeah, I must run for him right now. The fastest of speed, the fastest moving snake is the black mamba and you are going to be one of the fastest moving fastest, one of the fastest moving servants of the Lord. Now why must we do that? Number one, pastors will be successful when they send and are sent quickly, Philippians 223. Therefore, I hope to send him immediately as soon as I see how things go with me, Paul said. I'm going to send him immediately. So pray that you will go on your mission immediately. Are you with me? OK, OK, OK. Thank you Lord in Jesus name, Amen. Please be seated. Which point were we on? Masters of speeds, did I give you why we must operate with speed? I gave you only one, because you will be successful when you respond with speed like a serpent #2 Ministers will be successful when they respond to visions. Acts 16, verse 9, speedily. A vision appeared to Paul in the night, a man of Macedonia, and he was standing and appealing to him and saying come over to Macedonia and help us when he had seen the vision. Immediately we sought to go into Macedonia. Conclude, concluding that God has called us to preach the gospel to them. Wow. Everybody say immediately we sought to go. Immediately we sought to go. Wow. In Acts 1033, ministers will be successful when they make contact with the man of God speedily. You see, you will become successful. Thank God is putting you in touch with somebody. You do it quickly in Acts 1033. Bible says so I set for you immediately and you have been kind enough to come. Now then we are all here present before God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord. That was Peter and Peter preached to them immediately. It's not the vision or he moved. Some of you seen vision. God has called me. It's when you are dying that you will say, Lord, if you raise me up, I will obey you. One day I went to visit a man who was in the hospital and he was just 39 years old, and he had developed a strange disease in his spine in which he was. He was dying a very hot disease, and it looked like cancer of the spinal cord. Yeah. So as he lay there dying, when I visited him, he said if. God. Will raise me up then, he said. He added. I don't want to promise anything. He was still not wanting to commit himself. I don't want to say anything whether I will even serve him or not. I mean, I will serve him, but it's like I can even, I can even give my life. I mean, if God will, I don't want to say anything. And I thought about it that even on the deathbed, people are still hesitant to commit themselves all out. Hey, that's why I want to encourage you. Look, if God has touched your heart and God has given you a vision, just respond to it quickly. That is the wisdom of it. You will not see on this grass except waiting for you to catch it. It's very difficult to catch a snake. Yeah, even when you see them, you will not see them again. When we were building over there, the guy said there was a yellow, 1A big brown, 1 yellow, you know, And you see there are masters of camouflage. So whatever the colour of the leaves and the colour of the twigs, they are taking that colour and you think it is part of the leaves. But they are also masters of speed. So not only are they obscure but they are quick. As we are building this project, you may see it as something that is just happening, But the speed with which we are forcing to finish the building, I'm getting, I mean, Masons from here, this from here, trying to tell the place to get the finish, to connect water, I mean, aggressively. It's very important building. When you build with speed, you save money. Yeah. That's why anytime you see a big project, white people are doing a project, you see floodlights and you see that they work 24 hours. I was speaking to the manager of a company that is coming to build some flyovers in Akram and he told me starting we are going to work 24 hours every day till we finish. Yeah, 24. I asked me if I know any people he wants to get jobs. We are going to work. They never passed. I mean the maximum speed is put, you make maximum profits. We have cheap nights. This day everybody is working 24 hours. The project will never pause for even break for music. And you are saying Morrow dead? Morrow dead. Wow. He saw the vision set immediately. Immediately. They are masters of camouflage, but in case the camouflage is broken and you see them, they are also masters of speeds. Wow, Are you fast or are you slow? I'm asking you a question. Are you spiritually fast or spiritually slow? Are you spiritually A snail or spiritually a snake? In terms of speed, yeah, speed is very, very important thing. It can mean the difference between life and death. Many times speed when driving can lead to death. Any accident you have where your speed is less than 80, the outcome of the accident or what will happen is different from above 80. The things that will happen in the accident are different from 80 to 100 hundred to 1/21/20 to 14150 going what happens to you. But when you are less than 50, when you are under 50 years, you see that you drive in a certain way, yes, But when you are over 50, you see that. Or if you have had an accident before, anything that happens, if your speed is less than a set amount and the outcome will be different. What do you think? Is it amazingly fantastic? Is it wonderfully heroic? You will be successful when you respond to your call quickly. Look at me, I am successful to a certain degree because also I responded to my call quickly, not waiting till I was 40. By the time you are 40, you will see that you are different from how you are now. Na, na, na, it'll be different. Let's take a picture now. Let's take a picture not, not at this very moment. Let's look at the camp that we take a picture when you are 40 and I said look at you. Do you remember you were 20 whatever years and now you were Dancing star. Let's go, honey. Wow. After, after we take the picture, I want to take the picture. Now come, come we can so that when you are 40 we can review everything. Hallelujah and Nyas departed, entered the house, and after laying hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to me by the Lord, has sent me to pray for you. Now for several days he was with the disciples who wear Damascus, and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus first, Amen. You will be successful when you are helping people quickly. Help people as fast as you can. And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day or not? But they kept silence. And he took hold of him and healed him and sent him away. And he said to him, Which one of you have a son or an ox fall into a well and will not immediately pull him out? Immediately pull him out. When you see your sheep, many of you are elders. You see your sheep coming. You must immediately pull them out of their difficulty. You see that the person needs the Holy Spirit baptism. You are waiting two weeks time. I'll call them. I'll call them at the end of the week on Saturday when they give their life to Christ. Today on a Sunday, you must admit which of you having an ox which has fallen in and it is a Sabbath day. We do not call them. Pull him out immediately. How come when you see a soul standing right in the middle of the month and the soul has given its life to Christ on Sunday, I have immediately asked the people to come and meet me at the back and you have been put in charge of them. You can't immediately pull him out and immediately go and look for him. Let's find the perish and they go to hell. You wait and see. This semester we are doing 2 souls per person. If like, don't bring a soul. If you like, be in the church and don't bring a soul. At the end we will assess you and you'll be found wanting. A handwriting will appear on the wall. The world is help is 11 soul at a time, 1 after the other. Souls are not one in huge numbers. Everybody is help one person at a time. That is why no matter how busy and no matter how big a pastor is, he always has time for 111111. That's how pastoral work is. It involves 111 until has made. And that's why you need more people to do pastoral work because everybody is an axe which has fallen into. You know that if I have time to counsel you with you about that particular problem, I may have a wisdom key that may help you out of that particular problem. Yeah. So we need more people who can pull people out. Would you? If you have a dog in your house, you came and you saw that the dog has fallen into a deep gutter and he's screaming. You go by and you say tomorrow I'll come and pull you out. Today is the Sabbath, today is Sunday, so the souls which come to give their lives to Christ on the on the sub, there must be an immediate searching for souls. Those of you who have made yourself spectators of the church spectating time is over, Ask whatever weather is an elder. All those who are not elder stand up. Why are you not elder? Stand up, stand up. Those of you who are sitting down, challenge those who are standing up. And why are you not an elder? Tell the person let this be your last warning. Sit down now listen. One day a brother went to do a course PhD in toilet management, or what is it called, septic waste management, PhD waste management. And he came to church and I was preaching at a camp and every time he had to give himself to the work, he had a different reason. Either you remember were you there? Or you remember that guy. So one day after I come, he went home and he had a dream. In the dream he died. When he got to heaven, suddenly a whole lot of people surrounded him. Remember now? And the people surrounded him. They started facing him. Why? Why didn't you win? Win the soul? Why did you? Then he started to explain, No PhD. He was that the people grew out. It was like the people in heaven. They were so wild. How could you do that? They charged on the guys. I mean, how? How could you please how you had opportunity. The people are there. They were very wild. They grew out. If he come stand here, let's say that you've gone to heaven, stand here, put your iPad down. Oh, OK, that's your PhD. Wait, that's your PhD. Now all of you from heaven, this area, he has arrived in heaven. He didn't win any. So his brother holding PhD Touch on him and say why you have opportunity. He has a right for laughing. You shouldn't laugh. Didn't he try? He didn't try, Didn't do her? Didn't he win any So? We are not managing. Waste very well. How can you say or what you're saying is true, but you don't agree. You wasted your time on it. You wasted your time. You're not serious. You wasted your time while you're on edge. But wait. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no. You were beating the guy down. He should stand up and answer the questions. This is your last opportunity. Stand here. Iffy. You have to face the guy. Shame on you. You have your I said that, I said that. Look in Accra now we have the needed test. 21st century. Listen, listen, listen. You you attended a lot. Talking about the conditions. You call waste management the call of God. Waste management is not the call of God. You are called to win souls. You decided to rather take care of the faith in this world while souls were perishing. But once I let prophet a man, if you make the whole of AKA beautiful and souls go to hell, you are such a wicked man. You had all the bishops, but what did you use them for? Shame on you, I put it. Like therefore. We cannot allow you in this heaven. You don't deserve to be here. You. Never help that you never. We are not like you. We expected you to share the gospel with others. You never help that you never represented our Savior. How many of them? How many of them your wife, your wife did what your wife did, What tell us your wife did was? Can you imagine that your wife? Humanity. How many of them are here in heaven right now? Not even a soul. He wants A room. He wants. He has just arrived. He wants a room in heaven. Wait. Currency right now is. PAD. So you can't have. A room. Then you should go back, carry your pH. Nothing was left. Coming for camps after all the camps I need some in fact, stand behind, raise your hands, tell your two hands, raise your hands and then I want you to apologize to them. Everybody, I want you to admit, admit brother going to say that you a disgrace to the Kingdom of God, OK? I want, I want, I want. You are smiling. I want 2 angles. 2 angles. You. I'm really surprised. I'm shocked, very surprised. Take him and go and show him. Take him and show him. Let's go. Waste your life. Your children are here. Your wife and your children are here. You are very selfish. Your wife and children are selfish. In hell. You are thinking about yourself by a waste management. Yes, in hell. Wow, come and let me pray for all of you so that it will not happen. Wait if he come. Father, we cancel this vision in the name of Jesus. Let it never happen to any of us, especially to iffy. In Jesus name, Amen. It is too scary. How many would like to get to heaven and be so shocked you thought you were going to get crowns. They said that. Who is that? This lady? You had a dream. What's your dream? Say Shot. Yes, please. What we're actually discussing, it looks like a joke, but it's actually serious because some time ago I had a dream and in a dream I had died. And when I died, I was standing before someone and the person was actually angry with me. Like there was so much terror and it was very serious. It's like. What's the? Player saying is nothing compared to it and at that time I was actually involved in evangelism and all that. So I was wondering if so as of what I'm doing is like it's nothing compared to what God expects from us. So I don't know, it's just. Wow. Next one, speedily recover people from their problems. The next one speedily serve God quickly after you have been delivered. When you see that God has delivered you from evil, rise up quickly and serve him. That's the wisdom of a serpent, Babo says. Then he got up and left the synagogue and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked him to help her, and standing over her, he rebuked a fever and it left her and she immediately got up and waited on them. Wow. Immediately got up and waited on them. How many of you here feel that God has delivered you from being a very bad, very hard, very bad, very, very bad boy and very bad girl? Raise your hand. Then immediately get up and start waiting on the Lord. Immediately get up and start serving the Lord immediately. What are you waiting for? I don't understand. You don't ever let me see one cow of yours or one sheep of yours in a gutter. And you say you will not deliver him today Sabbath. I will sort him out tomorrow. I will call him. I will WhatsApp him tomorrow. I will sort of fool him later next week, Sunday. That's what you were doing last last semester. That's what you were doing last semester. Immediately God has delivered you from fever. As soon as she was delivered, she got up and started. Oh, please, can I, can I get you something? Would you like a paprazza? You like Oshiri Shiri? You like what? What? What do you like Urbana soup? And what else? What do you like? Immediately she was she was 7. After she was delivered from the fever immediately she got up and started and you are you've been delivered. So I will serve the Lord later, not knowing that Jesus was going to be around for only three years, so now you'll be successful when you speedily move on to the next battle. I will say they had a few fish and he served them. He broke the bed, fed 4000 people and he sent them away. Mark 8 verse 6 And immediately he entered in the boat with his disciples and came to the district of Dalmannuta after doing 1 miracle and he had got a victory there. Divided a bread to 4000 people. Get into the boat. We are going to the next. Forget about the Healing Jesus Crusade that we have had in the past. It's nothing. Forget about the churches we have planted in the past. It's nothing. Forget about the missions that have ever been established. There is more. Get up into the booth. Immediately start the next project. Yeah. You see this place? One day this place will be used so much. You forget when it was being built. It's just like the Kodesh. There was a time that we were always working at the Kodesh. Now we just use it. We've forgotten how it was a project. Wow. You will be successful when you speedily recognize unknown things. When the madman of Ghadara saw Jesus, Babel says constantly, night and day, he was screaming and the tubes and the mountains, catching himself in stones. But when he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran up and back. He ran speed and bowed before him. When you recognize the anointing quick, recognize it quickly. Don't recognize it partially slowly. Amen. Wow, you'll be successful when you quickly recognize this loyalty. And they came bringing him a paralytic carried by a four men, and being unable to get him because of the crowd, they moved the roof above him. When they had done an opening, they let down the pilot and the paralytic was lying there. She just in their faith said to the paralytic son, their sins are forgiven. But some of the stripes were sitting there and rising in their hearts. Why does this man speak that way? How do you say people are forgiven? He is blasphemy. Who can forgive sin by God alone? Immediately Jesus, aware in his Spirit that they were reasoning that way within Himself, said to them, Why, why, Why are you reasoning about these things in your heart? We shall be successful as a church when we are quick to recognize that, was says immediately Jesus became aware that they were reasoning in their hands. Now, how can you become quickly aware of this loyalty? There are 7 things that you need to know to be able to recognize this loyalty quickly. The first one is a spirit of independence, an independent spirit. You see, an independent spirit is a person who does what he wants to do different from what the group does. So let's say everybody in the world who is a Commonwealth nation is celebrating Commonwealth Day, except you. Is he? Listen, always opposite, do you understand? So you must recognize it in yourself. When we call for meetings at 2:00, I'll be there at 3:00, call for meetings, say from Monday to Friday. He said I'll come on Thursday because I know him. He will talk to Thursday. When I get there on Thursday, he will still be talking and he will finish on Friday. You see, you already have developing and it's like it's always independent spirit. It's always mixed up with maturities like oh, he's mature. That is why he talks that way. So he knows what is happening. You know, I was going to Korea. The Lord, the Lord was ministering to be said, look, don't go on Wednesday when they are starting on Tuesday. Go on Monday. I'll be there before they start. And don't leave till everything is finished. Just stay there as a humble sheep and attend fully and normally, not somebody who's in a hurry. I'm going here from here. I'll do this. I have to come. I just come for one day when I'm speaking, I'll go and just handle yourself and come and sit down. Do you understand? That's what Donald was telling me, that. Yeah, just be a sheep. It's not an independent free. It's like your call and your invitation does not control me. I control myself with another independent robot inside. And there are a lot of independent. We say the choir is going to wear red and blue, and you decide. One of me, I don't like red and blue. And on top, I don't have anything red and blue. And #3 I can't find anything red and blue. And #4 it's too late to find red and blue. And #5 I don't agree that we should wear red and blue because every choir wears red and blue. Then you come with white and black. Do you have such choristers? They are choristers with independent spirits. Or you say we are all going to come for a rehearsal from 2:00 to 5:00. From 2:00 to 3:00 is prayer, and then three to five is whatever. And you see that they'll skip the prayer time, skip the first part and just come around 5:00. I know the song already. I know what you are going to say. So he has his own mature mind. And that is also an evil thing. Now this is where you have to dislodge or disconnect yourself from snake spirits because snakes are independent usually. Although there are masters of being independent and masters of being in a group. You can just add that because we won't finish. You can add it to your points, just add it as a bonus. There are masters of how to stay alone and masters of how to stay in a group. You can dig a hole and find 40 snakes there. They are all the Vipers together. In the winter, they're feeling cold, and they all stay together under in a hole. Yeah. And then they come up. And most of the time when we find snakes, we find them alone. Now you ask yourself, as you and own are walking in and out, everybody is praying the last prayer. So we are now praying for the last prayer. Then you start tying cables. You start organizing chess. Shall we pray? Get up, get up. Shall we pray? Let all of you in the front row stand up. Let's Nash, we are praying. Then you start packing. Start packing the chest. You packing the chest and then you also have an So start packing the chest in your back. See, you are organizing. We are praying. You also take your things and just start organizing. Start arranging the check. Vandal, shut up. By God bless you, let you go as you go. The Lord help you. It's like you know better than what I'm saying. You are packing the check. The Lord keep you and anoint you as you go. The Lord bless you. Yeah, that is what it means to have an independent spirit. It's not a good thing. It's like every meeting the person has something different to say. When you say can we have a carnival, you say, what is carnival? It's a bad word. It's something that's used in Brazil. When they do that, they are naked that, this and that. I don't think it's a good idea. Why everything? You always stand out with a different opinion and you think because you are mature. You said, oh, it's the start of my maturity. I'm more exposed than all these people. One day, one day one pastor. He stood up beside. Don't you ever get tired of being praised? He told me. You don't you get tired of people? I want to say what the others are not saying. Wow, sit down. Next time when I'm giving final prayers, don't be doing something different when the preaching is going, you'll be walking around. When the prayers are going on, you are outside, you are doing something else. You are using it to go to WhatsApp, WhatsApp in and connecting certain things, some business deals that you are doing. Hey, be careful that thing. Now in the Bible, you see Joab. Joab was in the Bible a man who was the assistant of King David. And every time King David had a new idea. But Joab, even though he was the commander, I think it was the way he became the commander because he was, he was, he was David saw Jerusalem, he saw Mount Zion and he saw a castle on it. Anybody who can take that man will be my commander of my hand. So Joab did it. So then Joab became the commander, not by any real appointment, but just by what happened on that day. It's like some Miss Ghana or Miss whatever, and it's like you had a beauty whatever. There's not any real beauty. Do you understand? So you have a different and separate agenda now, David's agenda. You see, David was from one family, all right? And the son of Saul was from another family. Now the son of Saul, Ishbosheth or Ishbosheth, one of them. Ishbosheth was like the enemy who was not preventing David from becoming friends. But one day the commander of that side said that he was going to be friends with David. But what had happened was that there was a time that David was fighting with this man, Abner. And during one of the wars, Abner had been fighting with the son of the brother of Abner of of Joab. So he had killed Joab's brother. So Joab had a personal vengeance issue with Abner. So when David said we are now going to be friends with him, Joab said no, this guy killed my brother. Do you understand? Yeah. It's like if I come and I say to you that we are all going to support NDC, and then you get up and say, no, NDC did this to me, NDC did that, NDC that. So my father was this. My mother was this my mother? So then you separate yourself from it. So that's what happened with Joab. David said, look, we are all going to be friends with this party. And Joab said never, because my brother was this, my, this was this, my, this was this. Yeah. And so when David said, oh, Abner is coming for a present, Joab sent a message to Abner that look, David wants to see you, so I'm going to meet you here. So Abna, so this is a time of peace. So Abna came. Come and show you Abna, Abna and Joab. So Abna, Abna is here, Abna is orange, and this is Joab. And so there's peace talks. Come as you are coming. Come. And then as you are talking, then take out the knife. Take out the knife and kill Abna. Wow. Abner was surprised, You know, President Charles Taylor, when he came to Ghana one time, the UN wanted president to forge to arrest him because they had charged him with war crimes. And he said I cannot arrest him. If you do that when somebody comes for peace talks and then you'd rather arrest him, nobody will ever come for peace talks again. Yeah. And that's when he came for peace talks and he was killed. So when David, David had David. So Abna was now on the ground. Abna was on the ground, Joab was there when David, David was there. And David had, why did you do that? And He cares inside you, your family. There will always be somebody in your family with an issue and discharge #2 somebody that falls on assault, that dies suddenly by a tragedy on #3 somebody that beggars for bread. There will always be a beggar from thou to all Dohab's relatives up till today. Sometimes they will be praying. Lord, we are binding whatever. But it's David's curse is working in Dohab's family. That's why sometimes your fathers and grandfathers thinks they are all working. That's why I say do things that bring blessings so he cares it. So you see that Joab was now independent. Go back Abner back then David had sit down. David had a bad son called Absalon. You have to be Absalon unfortunately. So this is Absalon. Now Absalom was moving around. No, no. Sit down. I've seen a good person can be Absalom. You David? Yeah, because of your shirt. So this is Absalom. Walk around here. Walk around. You are rebellious in the back here. The back here. You'll be walking, you see? So then Joab, come go and fight. But don't go up. Don't kill. Is my boy. Don't kill him. Is it clear? All of you. Do you hear what I said? We are all part of the war. Go. Remember. I said don't kill him. OK, So go. Don't remember. I said don't kill him. Don't kill him. What's his name? Absalom. Come. So now look at Absalom walking around here. Now you are all troops. You are all troops. Suddenly catch him. So they've got Absalom now. Remember what I said? Don't kill him, OK? Joab, you are not a good Joab. He doesn't understand what to do. Joab, you are retired. Go and sit down, OK? Kumar, you are a Joab now, OK? Go to war. Catch him, OK? No, no. But you guys are supposed to remind him. He said don't kill him. The king said. Remember what the king said. Finishing up is there? No, it is you who came. I can't sign. No, it is you. We are not part of this. It is you, Joab. Where we go? You. Better get water and wash your hands of this case. We wash our. Hands. You guys have to wash your hands. No, no, we are not part of the killing we turn. We have put that into his heart. We have killed him. We are not. Partakers of this thing, you carry the room. Tell King David his blood is upon your hand. So then they came back to the kill. Where is my son Absalom? And they brought the body. Bring the body of Absalom. He was what happened? He was packed in the ticket. We caught him and we secured him and we were bringing him to you. Then all of a sudden, the General Joe Abkemani show up. Show up. We were preventing him. We told him that you told. Us that man show up. I wouldn't say anything. It was I wouldn't say you will sell beans, you will sell beans. OK, finish. Now I am coming for prayers. Come, come and let me pray for you Father. May he not be so, for this was in Jesus name, Amen. OK now then I'm showing you an independence builder. The person is part of him is always doing a different thing than one day, Solomon said. Ah. Baby said I'm old, I need a successor, I'm going to choose the king. So my son Solomon come, it's going to be my king then. Then these are faithful priests, Zedok and Co. They are happy. Then suddenly go up. He went to bring that the other son of the other son of Solomon, Adoneja. Adoneja rather should be the king. And David was in his house sleeping. Give me a chair. David was first. He was the old man. Yeah. No. So this is the throne. This is the throne, No? Solomon is in the house and suddenly Abhijah organized some other people to come and enthrone. Give him a mic. I don't need that, you see, since. Your father is about to die. We need a good king. And you see, I've known your father for many years and I think you are the type of successor you will like the people like you. Is that what is that? What is that? Yeah, I'm making the right choice. Very good. Very good, Very good. You see, that's why, that's why I knew you'd be a good. King, you listen to cancer. You you even look like your. Father more, don't you see? Yeah, I. Think you'll be a good king? Then Bathsheba, Bathsheba, Bathsheba comes to 1, David comes to 1. David that somebody is trying to make. So we tried to put him on the throne. Yeah. Come, come. Somebody is trying. Somebody is doing what? But I promised you, who is that? Who is the one doing that? Johan. Johan again. But I've made it clear at every meeting that Solomon is the king, the next king. I've made it clear every idea I have, he has a different idea forward, willfully contrary, difficult to manage. Don't need that. I'm calling my armies. Armies. Come. Arrest Adonisja. Arrest all of them. But except Joe Abdul. Arrest Job. He's very dangerous. Arrest Adonisja, kill him and come and put my son on the throne. Put my son on the throne. Long live the king. Long leave the king. Solomon, you shall be great. Bathsheba, my darling, remember what I told you? That your son is going to be the king, remember? So you see, it has happened. Everything I say always happens OK. That's why I love you. I know. You love me. I know you love me. I know you love me from the beginning. From the beginning. OK, now Solomon is the king now. OK, now. Now what do you call it? King David is dying. Now he's feeling old. And you, you don't like those things anymore. And now you are now an old lady. Call me one young lady. Call Anastina. You know you can't bring her to to warm me. I want her to make me feel warm. Bathsheba, you must bring head for me to feel. It looks like I feel that I'm. Oh, this is what Bathsheba used to do for me. And now she takes his time. OK, now my son Solomon come. Look, I'm just about to die. In the next couple of days, I'll be done. Do you remember Joab? Do you remember that very dangerous guy? As soon as we hear that I'm dead. Kill that guy. Daddy, Are you sure it's your uncle? But I say kill him. Oh, Basika. Where is the girl? The girl that you brought. I know you didn't know her name. Do your work. These are my last days. I need to enjoy now. David is gone. Solomon, don't forget. Kill. Yes, Daddy. It shall be done. Don't kill him, my troops. I have an instruction for you. There's a guy, you know, your General Joel. Yes, I have his. His head cannot go down in peace. So arrest him and fall on him with your swords. King, we want to assure you, yes, as you obeyed your father instructions will also obey your instructions. Thank you. Find him. Why? Why were you having an independent spirit? Why were you having an independent spirit? You have to hold the altar. Hold the altar. He's come. He thought when he hold the pulpit, nobody will kill him. Run and hold up. He's on. Kill him in the church. Why do you have an independent? It's a bath spirit. Finish him. Kill him in the in the church, finishing independence field, everything. You have a different idea. He's dead. I saw David. I'm also dead. I've seen that he has come to. I think you should take him to the burial grounds. So this is the first stage of disloyalty and you cannot be like Jesus who immediately saw that they were reasoning if you don't know and recognize what somebody is behaving. Myself, this guy has an independent spirit. When we are building the church and every all our churches have this type of window, you have made a different 1. You know, at least use this one and then do your own style again. We are all singing a song so that you you there you only sing classical music maybe I checked we are singing English that you are singing only away songs. You are trying to make an away lighthouse by force El instead of EPEL. What did? They say. Madonna. I. I want to be more like you. I want to be more Why are you changing the music? Why are you changing the music like that? We are not a gazer. But you have not sang these songs before. Why? The place that you have sent me to plant the church, the place you have sent me to start the church. The people, they love themselves. They always want things. Of your own, The people are leading you. I let me pray for all of you Father, every God prophecy, we cancel it in the name of Jesus, Amen. That's an independent spirit and you must be quick like Jesus. Babu says immediately he saw that there are reasoning. If you don't have this to be to be wise to see disloyalty, it depends on the time that you pick it. Disloyalty is like cancer. It's time related. If you get it early it it can help. And cancer used to be like something that cannot, cannot be killed, but they are fighting to convert it into a chronic disease rather than a terminal disease, you know, which means that it's like you fight with it for a long time so that it's like you don't die so that people don't die from it, that they are sick from it rather. Yeah. Like hypertension and all those diseases, you know, And it depends on the time. That's how this royalty is. It depends on the time that you see it in yourself and in others. Watch out for an independent spirit, the man who is always different and will not just flow with what the leader wants. Don't think that being separate and different makes you powerful. Now on this mountain, one day I was walking there, up just behind here and I saw a a, a goat. It was tied. And as I was walking, I was praying outside and the goat ran to attack me. Have you seen some before that it was tied with a rope. So when it came to me, the rope held it like that and it started moving. I I go to a ship, The ship were good. When I saw, when I saw the ship attacking me, I look, I say look at you when I want to convert you into lamb chops or goat soup. Now you are finished, you are downfall. But I didn't do anything to it because I realized that it had an owner and if I touch it, I will see the owner. One day I was in Colegono in the church and I heard some noise outside and I looked outside and I saw a procession, a lot of people following, people moving. So I sent somebody that I think was called. I said go and find out what has happened. When he came back he was smiling. I said what has happened? He said that there is a woman in the area who has taken off her shirt and her breasts are moving around like pendulums and she's walking bed chested in Colegono and she's beating her chest and she says that somebody has taken a chicken, She has a chicken and somebody has taken it and that if the person doesn't bring the chicken, she will see something else. So she was warning that you see even the chicken had an owner. So when you are a sheep and you are dependent and you are flowing and you are under your leader, you are protected in a way you don't even know. When they touch, you see that in the spirit. It alerts the person. The person is alerted. You may not know all these things are happening. The person is alerted in the spirit, and the person extends a spiritual covering. Yeah. One day there was a pastor in the archbishop's church. He was standing talking with some people. He said he had a conflict with the Archbishop, and Archbishop stretched his hand like this. So I've removed my covering from you. Yeah. He then he described himself with him. He said the things that began to happen to him. I was just I've removed my covering from you. He said his child, some accident that happened to his child intensive care unit or his money got finished this and that. He described I was just standing up. He wasn't talking to me, but I was listening. He said I've removed my covering from you. So that goat or that sheep was covered, that chicken in Colegono was also covered. Now on the same day that I saw that ship here, when I went back to the house, I was lying the city there. Now suddenly I heard somebody shout a snake, a snake had come into the house from this area. It was not an onaka, but it was a snake about like this lawn, and it had entered and it was now walking at the terrazzo and it had come into the house. So we started to attack. There was a stick. Bishop Saki had a stick long like this. We were trying. Then if we move this way, then he struck, struck. The stick was moving speed, masters of speed missed. It was like this. So I said give me the stick. I took the stick. I got it straight just behind the head when the mouth opened and the two tongues came up. Now I will tell you something. Can you believe that since the day that I killed that snake, till today, nobody in this area has come to ask that you have killed our snake or there is something. Yes, it has no owner, no relative, no covering, no. Nobody cares about the snake. I killed it, I killed it. Nobody has asked me, no police, nothing up till today. So the state, which is independent and always working alone, was weaker than the ship which seemed to be tired and covered and controlled. So what God has decided for us actually makes us stronger and gives us power. But that power is hidden, is spiritual, is hidden and is actually a covering and a protection. That's why many of you realize that you have been delivered from very bad things. But what it is, is actually you have just come under a covering. So certain demons that would destroy you, demons that would destroy your life, demons of even killing and murder, which want to inject HIV into you very shortly. All those demons have been kept at Bay because you've come near a certain cover. So it's a, it's a spiritual cover. And you see, people don't respect spiritual things. They don't understand spiritual things. Yeah, I'm explaining to you the power of dependence. That's why independence is not a what has happened to Ghana. In our independence, we have become poorer, we have become wretched, We have become the highly indebted and poor nation of the in the world. That's what has happened for 55 years of independence. Because when it's not time to cut the umbilical cord and you cut the umbilical cord. And you see that you come out and you can't breathe. What syndrome do you get? Who are those who've done Ong? Asphyxia, A hypoxic 1 Ischemic encephalopathy? Shall I put some water on him? Don't think being strong, you know, and I take it one day, say one of his pastors, people that he had trained in his Bible school, the guy came back. He had developed a certain doctrine and he was speaking against some of the things they had learnt. So he called the guy I was, I was in Tulsa and he was preaching. He said when the guy came, the guy was strong. It's like very stiff and strong. And it's like, this is not opinion. This is what I believe. This is not and just he was just and then the guy went and had certain Sineasos and came back to him and he said that he described you see the difference like before the guy was strong and very strong of his opinion and saying things that I always remember the word strong. You see when you are proud, it's like you are strong that when you are calm down, it's like you are listening more. You are hearing what they are saying. You know, it's like what are you saying? But the guy was strong. I'm also, I'm also a child of God. I'm also a man of God. This and this and that, this and that. He was strong like an opinion. This is what I think you see, don't be too strong. And like, I'm my own girl, I know the boys. None of them can satisfy me. They are small, small boys. I'm not now going to struggle with somebody who has never bought a fridge, somebody who has never bought a sound system, somebody who has no sitting room chairs, somebody who is now finding 5 to 2 and two together. Wow. Be free of an independent spirit. The second, the important thing you must watch out for is offense is the second stage of disloyalty. As soon as you see, pick it up. When you say offense, like somebody is hurt, you see hurt is a very bad thing, Matthew 25 Boss says. And many shall be offended, and they shall betray. When you are offended, you tend to betray. When you are offended, you tend to betray. So you must be masters of speed. And masters of speed in picking up disloyalty. And masters of speed in picking of fences. You see, my my sheep is wounded. My sheep is. This one is cut. This one is. It's got a saw here. This one is head. This one fell down. Come, come, my dear. Come rub you. Don't be head. OK? OK. Don't be head. OK. It wasn't like that when I saw you. When when I saw you, it wasn't I wasn't angry with you. It's hurt. Somebody sent me a text today. I was preaching. He said that, you know, I heard a message and I realized that I've gone far from you because I loved you so much. When I went on the mission field, things were not happening. When you were correcting us, I thought that you didn't like me. So because of that, I've gone far. I see Hurt have entered, you know, so you have to keep watching your ship. Which one is hurt? Are you OK? Are you all right? OK, sheep, this was. And you can see this one's head, this one's head, this one's head. Because as soon as they head, they want to betray you. They want to turn against you, and they leave the church one day. I was at that time, I was the pastor of the church in Geneva, and I came to Ghana. Go, come, go, come. There was a sister. They were our main church members. Well, I remember them because I don't know anybody else who has that name, the two sisters. And then it was their wedding and they were so happy to be in Lighthouse. And lighthouse is the best said, you know, lighthouse, lighthouse, you know, lighthouse, lighthouse, lighthouse, the best church. We are in lighthouse in Geneva and we are coming, we are having our wedding in Ghana. This is and the church has started growing. There were branches, there were pastors. Then suddenly they came for their wedding and they sent the message. So we are coming. And so our lighthouse is our church. So we are having the wedding in Ghana and the wedding is going to be held at somewhere. When they went, the message didn't come to the church office properly. The desert didn't come to the pastors properly. No, no pastor went. They had a pastor who was going to officiate, but lighthouse pastors, nobody came. Lighthouse cried over and all the people said why you use that lighthouse? You use that lighthouse, this lighthouses. The girl was so hurt. So I went back to Geneva. I went to their house because the pastor must always see this one is hurt. This one is. When I saw them, they were just looking at me. I said, look, it was not intentional. Forgive this, this, this, this, this. But as I was walking out of the door, I knew. That's it. I've lost them. I did never recover from that. They never came to it after today. Recently, my wife went to a certain saloon and met one of them there. Yeah, just go there. Lighter house. Lighter. House, lighter. When people are hurt, they leave. So that's why you 2 You must be very careful of things that hurt you. When you see that you are hurt, watch out. An evil spirit is about to come. Why? When you get a cat. You see, today I got a cat. When I went to the site, When I got a cat because I'm a doctor, I was concerned about certain evil spirits. You can have bacteria, we can have tetanus. They are all evil spirits. So once you get a cat like this slice, the evil spirit can enter. That's why when people do operation, we give them antibiotics and intravenous because evil spirits want to enter because you've cut them. So once you are hurt about some before you write, you have changed. That's why when you marry your husband will do something clap. You see that you are hurt and he also do something clap ahead. Then once the spirit will come here, spirit will come and spirit will come. After 11 years of fun, you see that it's evil spirits. As you are moving your control room of evil spirits, that's moving like this. Staphylococcus has entered. Streptococcus has entered which other Clostridium papidis, Welchi tetani? Clostridium tetanus tetani. Yeah. And which other bacteria their own spirits Bacillus can get in there? Bacillus, gram negative organisms, Gram positive organisms. There are gram negative demons and gram positive demons. Wow, how many have you had before? Sometimes you can be hurt by even watching the film and see that women are being mistreated in the film and you rise up and say ah, I'm fighting for women, fighting for women. Your whole life is fighting. You are hurt. Somebody has hurt you. Watch out for those that are hurt. Amen. Then after you are hurt comes what passivity you become cool. Passivity you don't say anything about about anything. One day I was at the Kodesh and there was a medical student who was in final year and he was, I think he was a pastor. We had made him a pastor and he was still at the hostel and I saw him. I said brother, these days you are very cool. I was standing inside the cathedral of Colegrono. I said wow, you are very cool. You don't talk much. And he said, oh, I've decided not to say that David married, gave birth to a son and another woman gave birth to a daughter. Are you listening to me? So the one who gave birth to a son, the son was called unknown, and then the one gave birth to a daughter. The daughter was called Tamah and Tamah had a brother called Absalom. So one day David said Hamlon, I'm sure they were staying in different houses. Hamlon saw his sister Tamar and said, Charlie, we are beautiful. Well, you're beautiful. So he went to her and said, give me some cakes. So while she was serving him the cakes, she attacked. He attacked her and raped her. But as soon as he raped her, he didn't like her. So girls, that's why I keep telling you when they sleep with you, they won't like you again. So try to keep yourself. They've slept with you. Now they don't like you. So those of you who think, oh, I have to show him that I love him, if you want to show him that you love him, buy him a chocolate. You understand? And so let's take this, I chose that I love you. When they sleep with you, they don't like you. Again, my pastor in England, he always said that if you want to show your love, just buy him a chocolate. Don't sleep with him. I'm repeating what my pastor used to say. You have to show him that I also love him. If you want to show him that you love him, buy him a chocolate. This is it shows you that I love you. That's all. I can't show you that I love you by sleeping with you at this point. Are you listening to me? So then after he slept with her, he said I don't like you and Absalom. They were all from one family, Absalom and Tamar. When Absalom, he came to the house, he said Tamar, come, I hear what happened. What happened? He told me he wanted food and when I sent it to him he just raped. He did what? He attacked me. Attacked him? What type of attack? He. He raped me. He took off my clothes. And foolish girl, Why did you allow him? He forced me and he was stronger than me. You don't know how to fight with a man. No, when you are fighting with the man key #1 the balls, go for the balls. Tama, you have made a serious mistake. You should have had Amno's balls. He would have left you immediately. Try to get that exquisite. He would do like this, and then you would have run away. OK, don't do that next time. Don't let anything like that happen. Don't forget this key. You have to pretend that you are allowing something because I want you to be able to hold the balls totally because if you just do this, you will miss it. So you just do that. You are doing, oh, you are stroking, you are doing something when you get it and when you hold it, never let it go. That's that's what we call the song Never Let me go. Come and sing it, mash it. Hello. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
