Welcome to track #26 of Why are you not a missionary? Because you cannot let many of many people they hate, white people resent them. Look, he just comes to whatever. He goes to play golf. And so we are the ones selling these shoes here. We are the ones selling whatever. He knows something that you don't know. Are you there? Instead of resenting, I've come to raise money again. Admire, admire, admire. Whatever the money you give, it will not help even one month of healing Jesus Crusade. So admire, admire. I've been able to do something with smoke. You see, when your mind is like that, you tell. Bishop has been able. To be a pastor and then become an evangelist, yeah. He has been able to change from this to this. He'll be able to. Raise money to do. He'll be able to make a video. How was he making such a television? Program. This and that and that. I mean this is how your mind should be working, full of admiration. When you are full of admiration, certain things will be dropping into you for your own life. But when you are always is eating something. He's had seven pieces of that same chicken. He likes it. Our man, he likes. It. So admiring, admiring instead of when you see Pastor Obi, don't say look, he said. He know he was. Rich before he went to that. Is why he went by fool he jotting where is that person? Look at the person who you got. He was rich before he let. That is when he went, and that is. You are so stupid. Somebody as stupid, as stupid as you somebody. I mean, there are stupid people, but I've not seen one just like you. Your type, your stupidity is gone ballistic. Ballistic stupidity does increase suddenly and become greater in an unwanted way. It's because of this adiotics that a pastor has to even contact his life in a very strange way sometimes. Oh, I remember one day I was. Just party. I was hiding it as if I stolen goods. One day the pastor came, he was fine. He went shopping and they told him you are coming to carry the whole. Of London to Ghana. Did you see the person shopping for you to make such a comment #4 and these are 10. Qualities that you need, you need. To appreciate the type of gift. And use it to the full. One talent you need to appreciate the size. Conditioner you need to appreciate the size. Now one talent is not too small. Amen. When you think in that way that I just have too small to use, mine is too small. You cannot do well. Are you listening? Now one talent is not too little for God to use. Amen. Are you there? One talent is not true. There are people who think that when somebody has got a large gift, actually, most of the time you notice people when they have a very large ministry. But what you don't know is that it started very small. Yeah. I my Tuesday service was a group round, sit round. Yeah. But this is one of the main reason why people don't do anything. It just looks all. I can just talk. I can't preach that talking is the the one talent that talking is the one talent. So use it. Use it. Appreciate what God has given you. Amen. And thank God for what He has placed in your hand #5. How many realize that sometimes you despise yourself, huh? You despise yourself? Have you despised yourself before? So now you despise yourself so much that when somebody says you are nice, although there's something good about you. So that's why that's why you need a coach. That's why you need a pastor who believes in you. And sometimes, sometimes you cry when you remember somebody who believed in you. I remember one of our pastors, somebody in the church died. One of his members died. And then he called me and then he started crying on the phone. And he told me she believed in me because there was a lady who was dead. She said she believed in me. When I finished school, she helped me. She stayed. She believed in me. She believed in everything she's lived. She changed her job, everything just to stay here to help me. She was dead. Because you see. To believe in yourself is sometimes not very easy because you know your thoughts and you know yourself through or not through. So when you see somebody and the person doesn't seem to be noticing all that, but he seems to believe in you, it's very wonderful. Is it not fantastic? It makes you feel good. Yeah. You sometimes if you think that the person is blind. Yeah. How many points do you have? 4 #5 You need to be a missionary. You need to be content with whatever you have. Contentment is very important. There are people who are always dissatisfied with whatever they have. They are black, they want to be white, they are slim. They want to be fat. They are fat, they want to be slim. They are pastors. They want to be evangelists. They are evangelists. They want to be teachers. Now what are you? What has God made you? You need to be satisfied with it. Amen. I wish there were more white people here. I wish there were more white people here. But most of the time when I preach, black people are the ones who come. But I'm, I'm just thanking God for that. It's, I mean, I used to when I didn't know that I wish there were more older people, but now I prefer the young because when you are not content, you don't know that you have actually the better one. Now you'll be, you'll be wishing. I used to say, sometimes you hear this church has the managing director of this. This church has the owner of this. This church has the. CEO of this and I was looking in my church I don't have. All these people, even in the. Kodesh, I don't have those. People, there's no politician. In our church, Assemblyman, Member of Parliament, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. 0 I have young and easily impressionable people and what I am saying about young and easily impressionable people is actually contentment. You are you are seeing the manifestation of contentment and happiness, and when you see the goodness in it, you start to like it even more. Oh, if there was a mean elderly, whatever. Here, oh look at. The time that we went to when you people went to sleep, I was having another meetings after 4:00 AM. Yeah. When I set my alarm to sleep, he said one hour and a few minutes. When I set my alarm, OK, better set my alarm. And I told them that when you come to knock on the door, do not knock. Bang the door very hard because it may not be. Yeah, because by the. Time I finished this meeting, that meeting, this meeting, that meeting, and even other phone calls that I had to make. I couldn't even make them. I said oh let me just sleep when I set my alarm. One hour and some few minutes and I'm here. That's it. And I have, I have, I have young. So if you are not young. And easily impressed. I'm very happy with what I have. OK. There are no, not many white people, just one or two. I'm happy with the black people. Black people have great. I'm excited. Yeah, I'm so excited. I'm so happy. Super happy, Super happy. Yeah, some of you are married. I made a mistake but. I. Made a mistake I should have. Waited a bit. Messi become happy and say oh if Bishop has sent me to Kenya like how he sent Pastor Obi. Now look at me. He has sent me to Sudan. Yeah, the next group I'm going to send you to Sudan. Niger, Chad, these are the places you are going deeper into the desert. So if you're afraid. Don't come, Yeah. If you like. Your skin don't come if you. Don't like hot? Weather don't come. Where I'm sending you the temperature is about 45°C. You like your skin and you like yourself. Very much don't come number six. Are you ready? Why is a lot of people behind the door? No, don't don't move away from from my vision. I'm not saying that it's wrong to be there, but I'm just I'm wondering, do you want to come and sit down? Do you want to come and sit down? Feel free, feel free. No, you can stand on the back if you want. I'm just, I'm just asking. Number six, to be a missionary you need to be humble and not have a high opinion of yourself. Yeah. Well, you need to be humble to be sent. You need to be how many year old like an Iran boy is a humble, humble guy. Go here, come here. Do you come here, go here, come here. Do this, this big day, do that. Go here, go here. If you are not humble, you will be irritated. You'll be what? Irritated, irritated, irritated. Make up your mind Mr. Bishop, pray about what you are saying 1st and make up your mind. First time you were led at the second and third time you were not led. Zimbo. Zip. Zubza. Humble, humble yourself by the side of our lung he will lift. You up? Humble yourself. By the side. Of our lung he will. Lift you up. He will. Lift you up, he. Will lift you up. Humble. Yourself by the side. Of our Lord, humble yourself by the side. Of our Lord. The. None. I'm all yourself. The. He will. Let you up. No, I want to just tell you something and I want you to put it in the wardrobe. Just put it in your wardrobe. It will happen, OK? It will happen. Just make a note of it, Uncle James told me. When you come out across certain things, put it in the wardrobe. One day you open the cupboard and you see that it is there. You need to make reference to it. And this is what I want to tell you. You will be tested with the test of humility. So when it happens, ask. Yourself. Is this it? Is this the? Test that Bishop spoke about. Is this the test everybody? Because to enter the Kingdom you need to be like a child, humble like a child. So when now God is going to welcome you to the Kingdom and into certain rooms in the Kingdom, He is going to have to whittle down your size to the size of a child. And at that point you may resist what brings you down. What brings you down? You may resist yourself. Oh. You may resist it. Oh. You may resist it because in the Kingdom of God the doors are this height. Only children children's doors so when you come and grown up size. It doesn't work. You got to. Humble yourself by. The side of the law. He will lift you up. If. You don't humble yourself. You can't go in. You can't enter healings, you have to. You have to receive miracles. I had a headache. And it's gone. I felt something that passed from here, move here, move here, move. Here and then I'm healed. My hair. My hair was. Telling me. It has gone. If you are not humble, we'll never see one. If you are not humble, you will never preach without notes. You have to preach without notes and be. Disgrace. When it happen, ask is this it? Is this it? I remember a lawyer, a lawyer came to see me and the lawyer said I want to work. For God, it didn't. It didn't even. Strike me twice, I said. Well, there's no really any work. But the lawyer persisted and said I want to work for the law, whatever. So I said OK. We are going to cater for guests, so I will I will assign you to the kitchen. Can you work in the kitchen? She said. I can. Perhaps that was it. I don't know so. Always is this it is this it? Is this the test? Because it will happen if it's not today, if it's not tomorrow, something will come that will make you bowed. And that is if you are moving forward with God. Sometimes your full time ministry, Oh yeah, some of you to come into full time is you really have to go down. Oh yeah. Can you imagine somebody who can come to you and give you an offering? Of thousands. Of dollars and somehow that person has has to bow down and work for you and earn. Less than the. Tithe another person, I mean you think about somebody like Daniel who's work at, well, JP Morgan's Fleet Bank of what, Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland and what again, talent, free bond, talent pre bond and such a person has to come to work in the ministry to end peanuts. Yeah, it will be. It will be. You'll be asked to go down and I say, OK, go to Sudan. Or go to Chad. Or go. Somewhere I mean. Really, it's like. The law itself, I mean, you can't. There's no important person there, I tell you. And when it happens? When it happens? Always ask yourself, is this it is this it is this the test that he spoke about is. This what is happening now is this is that what's happening now? Is that, is that what I'm experiencing now? When you get married and your husband is disciplining you, taking you through disciplinary measures, ask yourself. Is this it? Is this it when you start to? Go through something in your. Life. That you never thought you would go. Through ask yourself, is this it? I was. Told it was coming, I was told it was coming. I was told it was. Coming. Is this it? Is this it The humility test? Wow, is this it? Pastor Jerry? Yeah. When he when he comes, is this it like I said, and sometimes when it comes out I. Don't want to do this exam so I'll do it next year. How many have had? An exam to this year, I can't do it this year, I'll do it this year. There are a lot of exams. That are listening when you I'll do. I'll take a year out. When it comes out, I'll take a year out. I'll defer later, later, later, later later. Later, later, later. No, no, no, no. I want to check my course. But no matter the course, you do that. Test will come up and if you want to go higher you want to go higher a will come a will come somebody you may look down on the Ghanaian on Ghana and you maybe you are you are from a higher country like I mean I don't know where which higher country do you have America you're from America and then. You say I mean. Why should me, an American, submit myself to an African zip zoom zab? Then that's what you have to ask yourself, is this it? Could this be it? Yeah. When you are put to work and your.
