But, and, and I also say you are my VEP, very encouraging person because every time after preaching, she says nice things, smiles nicely and then encourages. So I'm always happy. So she said daddy or something like that. I said no, no, no. They said why? Why? Then suddenly my children came running by. I said, you see my children, can you see that they are my children?

Welcome to track #28 or finish what you started. But, and, and I also say you are my VEP, very encouraging person because every time after preaching, she says nice things, smiles nicely and then encourages. So I'm always happy. So she said daddy or something like that. I said no, no, no. They said why? Why? Then suddenly my children came running by. I said, you see my children, can you see that they are my children? I said yes, they look like you. I said they look like me. That's why you know that they are my children. And I said, what about you resembles me? Are you a pastor? Do you preach? You do evangelism? Have you started a fellowship before? Then why do you call me Tata? I said when I was in school like you are in school, I was a leader of fellowship. There is no spiritual resemblance. You are spiritually Chinese. And I'm spiritually some other country Ugandan, we don't look the same. So before you can say Tata, now what's the other one? Did you? Did you, Did you, Did you? Before you can say did you, you must ask yourself, do we have any similarities? Sometimes you see a child is born doesn't look like their father. He doesn't look like their mother. Have you seen one before? Some of you don't look like either your father or mother. But if you look closely, something will look like the father and something will look like the man. Maybe the small tool, maybe one of the eyes, something somewhere will have some small features. Are you there? So is there no small feature that has any resemblance? You say you are my father. There should be some resemblance. Then I can say that. Yes, my son. What do you think? John chapter 14, verse 9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time in the ministry with you, yet thou has not known me, Philip. He that has seen me has seen the Father. He that has seen me has seen the father, isn't it? So sometimes you want to know, how can I know who is the father? You can know because there's some similarities, some resemblance. I was standing outside there having a short meeting, and I heard Pastor Clue, who was talking to you people. And as I was listening, I realized that he was saying, telling you some stories, different things. And I could hear the response. And I could see some similarity between when I was talking with you and when he was also talking to you. I could. I could hear, but I didn't know what he was saying. But I could hear. Then I hear some people. Hey, I lost. Yeah, So that's what I'm saying. Before you said Tata or Tata, there should be some small resemblance spiritually. What do you think? Is it a powerful, easy to understand He that has seen me, has seen the Father. When you see the Son, you can know what the Father looks like. Amen. Now that when you see the sun come, you come Tehran. Now you see us. I'm going to show you his father. And I go behind the kettle. And then I pull the kettle and here comes a Korean. A Korean comes out of the kettle and you say that this is the father of this one. Is it possible? Father in business, sit down. So sometimes to be a son, you just have to start to do some things that your father is doing, Yes. I'm going to start drinking ice. Are you wise? Don't. Don't let me say something. No, I'm talking about spiritual things. You can also say I'm good to hold a camp. I'm going to talk about this. You understand? Or something that the person is doing. That's why he has not explained what he's doing. A lot of things that are not explained, you see, like when I started playing, since I was born, no one has ever advised me to play golf. And yet I have told so many ministers. In fact, I met a minister on the golf course the other day and he was telling me that if he had not played golf, he doesn't know what would have happened to him. He was talking about some sicknesses and other things that came to him. And there are all those sicknesses have gone. Now there's a certain age you will not see certain sickness. There are some sickness. We start to measure from a certain age, then they start to diagnose. Before that age it will not be there, but after that age it will start. So some days you may not know. So sometimes you just know. I don't know what the person's doing. I'll also do that. Before you realize, you will walk into the fruit of that wisdom without even knowing why that wisdom is being done. Amen. Are you there? He that has seen me has seen my Korean father. He that has seen me has seen my father #2A son or a daughter. So I'm giving you 7 reasons why you can say Tata if you can. These are not true. Don't say Tata. Say yes, pastor. Yes, Bishop. Yes, Sir. Thank you, man of God. God bless you, Reverend. Those are the tattoos you must use or Mr. or brother. I don't say daddy, O don't say Tata, don't say daddy, are you there #2 If you want to say Tata, you must be forever permanent because a son or a daughter is forever. In John chapter 8 verse 35, the Bible says the servant abideth not in the house forever, but the son abideth forever. Amen. The seven do 7 stay in the house forever. How many have been in the house where there was a servant who was working? Have you been in the house or you were the servant? It doesn't matter. Raise a hand raised. I thought you were the 7th or there was a 7 razor. Did they stay forever? What about the children of the person who owns the house? Did they stay forever even when they were 50 years old? When they're not part of that house? When my mother calls me, I answer yes, Mommy. I answer yes, Mommy. There's nothing. And she, my mother doesn't call me Bishop. What do you mean? Like Bishop? She calls me by my my name. Dad. Yes. Mommy does it forever. It never changes. It will be like that If I'm 70 and she's still alive. It will be like that. Yeah. And my father never called me Bishop. He said that. And then there's a way when they say that, that they Call My Name, say they need to end that something. I know that no matter what. And we have seen so many servants, even my house, we have had so many different people come looking after the children. They get tired. Whatever you have children, when you have not had a child, you may not know. By the people who are servants, they don't stay for long. So members who don't stay for long, they are no sons. Yeah, a son or a daughter, you'll be relaxed with the person because you know that this one is forever. So you are relaxed. You can give everything to the person because you know it's forever. So if you are not permanent, you are not forever. You cannot say Tata, you have to say do not duck or Mickey Mouse or any other title that you want to use, but you cannot say that. How many agree with me? Jesus said it. A servant abideth not in the house forever, but a son abideeth forever. Ask your neighbor, how long will you be here for? How long, How many, how many years will you be here for? When are you leaving? One day a certain contractor came to work for me and he was shouting at the workers. They were casting some concrete and they were doing some terrazzo. Do you know terrazzo? And he told them, hey, Do is straight, because when I die they will carry my coffin here. And I don't want anybody to fall down because I'm here till I die. A young man, when I'm an old man and when I'm dead and they are carrying my coffin, I don't want anybody to slip and fall. So Do is straight. He's doing the floor to prepare for his funeral in the future. I buy that forever. Not for a good when is good times, or when it is nice, or when you feel it, that is. It's forever. Some of you. Today you support Manchester United, tomorrow you support Liverpool, next time you support Chelsea. Different, different clubs. What is this one? Newcastle? Captain of Newcastle, but his son abides forever. How many are here forever? Tell your neighbor, please, if you are not here forever, I cannot sit by you. I don't want to catch any viruses from you. I do not want any viruses from you. What do you think? Number three sons and daughters trust their father for everything. If you are a son, one day somebody was saying that he's surprised that I've been able to transfer some of the pastors. He said, hey, you are very wild. You have moved this person from here, This person has moved from here, this person has moved from here and they are all happy and they are flowing. Because if you are a son, you will trust your father that he is not doing something bad to you. When I was in the ministry, when I, when I was studying in the ministry and my father-in-law and my mother-in-law were trying to get me to do something else, I never thought they were trying to do something evil because they were not. Because a real father, sorry, a real father does not try to do anything bad to his child. It is not possible if he's doing his life for the good of the child. They were not trying to harm me. They were trying to do something good for me. If you want to come to Ghana and your parents are saying do not come, they don't want you to be pastors and they don't want what? They are not evil, they are good. A normal parent will not allow his child to just become a pastor. If you are a good parent, just sit down while your child has joined a church. He says he's going to be a pastor, he's going to be a Mr. he's going to die for Jesus. What do you mean? If you are a good friend, you have to sit up. Yeah. It's only when you are spiritual that you will see the spiritual sense in that thing. And when you have eternal values that you will understand it. But if you don't have eternal values where you are just a normal secular parent, I don't see why you should allow something like that. Yeah, if they, if they endorse it, then you don't have good parents. People whose parents don't oppose them in the ministry, they are usually not good parents. So you can do anything you want. You can, I don't care. Go anywhere. It's like usually it's like parents, they are not even, they are not even parents who have cared for you. That's why they are not do anything that you want to do. But it is when they're spiritual and they say it's an honor for my child to serve God. If I couldn't, but my child can serve God, then it's a great honor for me. Yes, a parent has no bad intention. If I am asking Pastor Klufia to go from here to Ethiopia, I don't have any bad intention. If I ask Pastor Harris to go to Cape Town to go here to do this, you know, you know where the dates that he started to be with me in the church from the beginning, long before all of your faces showed up here. I don't have any bad intention. So if you are really a son, you know that this person is trying to let me do well, period. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying. But when a person is not a son, the person will always see different things. That's why one day I transferred one person. Then some people came to tell him this is pull him down. What do you mean by pull him down? Those people are no sons. They are no sons. That's why even such a thought will occur to them. That idea will even come to your mind. Where is that idea from? So a son trusts his Father for everything. Amen. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come. Yeah. He trusts his father for bread. He trusts his father for forgiveness. If you know, if your, your, your father, you will know because I am the one training my if my pastor is falling to sin, I will stand between you and that pastor. We will not get access to him, to destroy him, no matter the sin that he has committed, because I've spent all my life trying to encourage these people. Most people don't mind me. The few ones that have minded me. If somebody has fallen in a gutter, should I leave him at the mercy of red ants and other spiders to come and eat him up? No. No, no, no, no. I will defend him. Should I defend him or I should leave him? Yeah. You see, the Catholic Church, they have a policy. Once a priest, always a priest. Whether you became homosexual, you went to rape small boys and girls, they said all those things challenge. Once a priest, always a priest. We cannot change. It is our priest. There's no shame in that. Hey, we do. Once a pastor, always a pastor. If you didn't do anything, at least you tried. You tried. You started doesn't mean I should go and do bad things. So when you realize that you have, you began to trust the person and you can say Tata Amen #4 Those of you who are please me. I've gone to Bath and Camus that is now mourning for me. My money has now come. They don't believe that is money. Come and tell them #4 a son. If you are a son or a daughter, you must honor your father. Amen. You must honor your father. If I'm a father, where is my honor? That's what the Bible says. A son honoreth his father, Malachi, chapter one, verse 6, and a servant honoreth his master. If I then be a father, where is my honor? Amen. That's why Archbishop said to me, I'm tired of being like Noah, sending our beds, which never come back because Noah sent out the bed. They didn't come back to the ark. Sons who who don't come back to honor their fathers. Three days ago I was with a pastor and I met him at a golf course and he showed me a car that he said my son bought this for me from Maryland. I said you are blessed. It's a blessing for you sons to buy a car for you. I mean, you'll be glad your son buys a car for you. You don't buy any car for your father. And you want your father, your son to have that attitude when people are preaching you workouts. But when it is your turn to preach, you don't want them to work out. But that is all that you've been doing all these years. When they say come, you don't come now. When you are the leader, you want everybody to come. Tell your neighbor, good morning. Where is my honor if I'm your father? Some of you. You allow your parents to beg you for money? Please. We need toilet roll at home. We need soap. Can you give us some money for soap? We beg you. We need money for food. Why should your parent beg you? You are wicked. Nobody will honor you one day when you grew up. Nobody will honor you because you didn't honor your father. Do you honor your mother if you have father? So if you honor me, how do you honor somebody? Baba says honor the Lord with thy substance. In fact, I like the American version of that. It says honor God with your wealth. Have you seen it in New American standard? Oh, check it. Proverbs chapter 3. Honor God with your wealth. Proverbs, Proverbs chapter 3, there's 10, there's nine. It says honor the Lord from your wealth. Yeah, that's that's one of the ways to honor if you if I am your father, honor me with your wealth or from your wealth. Is it there? Honor the Lord from your wealth. That's how to honor. One of the ways to honor, to respect. Amen. Are you there? Amen. They don't believe in this money. Sing for them so that they will believe that it's. Early in the morning as the noon days dawning, I love to listen to you talk to me, and I want to talk to you. Early in the morning as the noon days dawning, I love to listen to you talk to me. And I want to talk to early in the morning when I awake. It feels so good to give you praise, tell you how I love you, what you mean to me. I want to talk to you. It's so easy to make mistakes when I try to do things my own way. You said about on the eyes. You direct my part, my soul. You've been keeping you wake me up from my sleeping. And you know just what I've been needing 'cause I wanna talk to you. So leave me early, guide me early, talk to me early 'cause I wanna talk to you. Let the winds flow, let the storm rise, let things happen in the middle of the night. When morning comes, I will be alright 'cause I want to talk to you. Leave me alone today. Should I go shoot last day. Guide me on your way 'cause I want to talk to you oh, Oh yes, 'cause I want to talk to you. Talk to you. Oh, I want to. Talk to you, Yeah. I need your protection. All I ask, all I ask is for you to direct my life, 'cause I need your direction and I need your protection. Cause all I ask, all I ask is for you, for you to direct my life. Show me early in the morning, early in the morning. Got leave early in the morning because I wanted you to direct my path. I need your direction load and I need your protection. All I ask, all I ask is for you, you to direct my path. OK, sit down. Do you honor your spiritual fathers? No or yes. Number 50. Sons obey. If you obey, sons obey their father. You go. If they say go, go. If they say come, you come. If they say sit, you sit. If they say stand, you stand. Amen. Number six sons and daughters do what they see their father doing. In John chapter 5 verse 19, it says the son can do nothing of himself. A son can do nothing of himself but what he seeth the Father doing. Amen. Look, can I tell you something? Do you want wisdom? Wisdom, the Bible says, cries in the streets. Wisdom is crying in the square. Wisdom is crying in the noisy streets. If you think you're going to get wisdom by taking a book and reading, you are going to be very limited in the wisdom you will get. Wisdom is found in the streets out there. Just watch in the noisy street where there are a lot of people, there are a lot of revelations of wisdom for you to get. Yes, are you listening? The Bible says in Proverbs chapter 1, I said wisdom is found. The street is crying. Wisdom is crying from the streets. Listen, watch, look. So a lot of things that are done that are wisdom, there are things you will see. You won't hear anybody telling you. Some of the most important things in life. You have to learn by watching, by revelation, by looking, by seeing. Amen. Are you listening? And the more you are able to learn that way, the more the wisdom of God will be in you and with you. Are you listening to me? Yes. If you want to learn about God and about his work, his ministry, watch in the streets. There are pastors in the streets, there are ministries. There are churches out there in the noisy streets. There are churches in the square that people want to learn about God, about life. If you are a lady, you want to have a good husband. Look, me, if I was a lady and I wanted to have a good, there are certain things I would do. Oh yeah. And you wouldn't find it written in a book. I would look at a lady who has successfully been able to get a husband and gotten married because some of you I can see there are certain, you see there are certain things that you cannot attract a certain kind of person to you. How many of you sometimes you are walking by, you see the rubbish dump and you begin to look whoosh. I feel like whoosh. I feel, I feel like having a snack. I'm hungry. You feel that way, but you know that sometimes dogs feel that way, foxes feel that way, cats feel that way, pigs feel that way, rats. So if you are depending on what you are, you attract certain things. Some of you are attracting mice, some of you attract only penises. You don't act, you don't attract love. You think I'm talking rubbish? You see, certain kind of people will never marry certain things when they see this. You made me look beautiful to the world. You may have this, whatever this, on I this, this, this. But a wise man knows that when you get home, you wash all, and you return, you descend to this earth. And we realize one day I went to visit a certain sister who was not expecting to be visited. I think I was a student in those days. When I saw her, I thought that maybe black ants had fallen on her face from the ceiling like this. What is what is wrong? Her whole face was covered with spots, and I've never seen those spots before and knew her very well. I've never seen those spots before. I realized that Charlie the face that we've been seeing, it is not so I. Screensaver has been used A screensaver has been used to cover the rear face. Brothers and sisters, a certain type. God forbid, if a circuit's wife was not alive now and he was looking for a wife, you will be surprised at the kind of person that he'll be interested in, a really spiritual person. There are certain things that are not what is needed. Yeah, look, one day I had a certain Uncle James. He was called and he told me something he said. He said he always advises girls he says become God's girlfriend, a woman of great price before God, that God likes God's girlfriend. What are they like? What is a woman who God likes? What is she like? It's not about coming with a big whatever or this or that or whatever. Come on, we were. We are looking for peace, brothers. How many are looking for some peace? Peace of Mind, peace at home, peace in life. We are not looking for continual contention, war, even even Rumble. As hard as he was, he had time for peace. He was looking for peace when he was escaping escaping Thailand. Lady was sitting with him and she asked him, Rambo, you take me with you, you take me with you. And he said yes, I'll take you with me. I don't know if he said yes, but you take me with me, I'll take you. But you could see that the man is just used to fighting, looking for peace, so that when you finish fighting with soldiers and others and you come, then you also come with young sisters. I will not give you that advice, but I'll tell you that wisdom is shouting in the streets. If you conduct yourself in a way you will not strike, the brothers in the church will be struggling over you. You come and you come and see him. Pastor, I need to sing about something. Yes. What is it, Pastor? Something's happening in my life. I see what is happening in your life, Pastor. Better, Jack Toronto wants to marry me. Better Ricky Z wants to marry me. Better Ronaldo also wants to marry me. They will be one day. I was talking to a certain sister and I told her, I said look at your life. Very careful and a good SU Christian. I said look at your life. I told her I just said it. I said more than 13 different Christian brothers wanted to have wanted to marry you before. Very good, good, good brothers. She said, oh, Are you sure? I said yes, count it. So she started to count. I said, write them. She started to write all the brothers who have wanted to marry her. And she was surprised that it came up to 13 solid Christian A1 at maximum B14 brothers. Yeah, a certain type of person. That's why I said that if you see a rubbish dam, say rats have gone there, mice have gone there, this have gone there and you see it's a certain type of people who go there. So if you want to make yourself a rubbish dump or in friendly, call it Pubel, Pubel, Pubel. If you want to make yourself, you're going to attract rats and mice. But if you make yourself in another way, you're going to attract many brothers will look at you one day. A certain guy, he had so many girlfriends on campus, University of Science and Technology in Ghana. And one day a brother asked, they asked him, who are you of these girls? Are you going to marry? He did not mention any of those. He pointed to one scripture union, quiet scripture union, girl, that that is the one that I want to marry. You see, he knows where to find peace. That's right. He's crying in the streets. So sisters and my heart, now I'm feeling a grace and a mercy and a concern for the daughters of South Africa. But they want to use you and just waste you and leave you husbandless, maybe with a child from somebody or one or two different fathers. But God wants to save your life. Wisdom. That's why to be a good son is not only doing what your father does, but you see what your father does. This is what he's doing. I will also do that without even explanations. So wisdom is crying in the street. It's not a teaching on Wisdom. Watch it. You've come to the church. One day I went to preach at a camp. All the ladies. I'm aware, you know. I'm aware. Now where different kinds of dressing. After they went to change, I said look at all of you. I brought your breasts, brought your pants. I remove your G strings. One of them got up to take photographs with, I'm aware, trousers and G strings. Do you know G string, guitar strings? Oh, that day it wasn't good. Oh, we were all visitors sitting there, mini visiting ministers and she came with her camera like this and and she she would take that photograph in front of the people like that. And then as she was taking a picture, the pest was moving. So she stayed for some time. The G strings were playing the guitar here and whatever was also going somewhere. In fact, it was too bad. It was too bad. Oh, you cannot attract husbands with this distastrance. Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. Oh, ladies, don't attract mice. Don't attract rats, don't attract dogs, don't attract cockroaches, don't attract foxes. Change so that you attract something good, so that one day you will be able to look and say more than 15 of the pastors, missionaries, others. I am the one that they choose. What do you think? Is it a powerful idea? Is it killing you softly? Is the message killing you softly? Say I want more, I want more. Sons do what their fathers are doing. Watch and learn. That's the key. Watch and learn. Watch and copy. Watch and do things you don't understand until you find yourself at places that you will not even be able to explain yourself. Can I have an Amen? All right. Number seven sons believe in their fathers. Wow. OK, fathers. And the highest kind of blessing that it may be. Well with thee. Oh, pray that your Father will bless you. Amen. Wow, how many want your father to bless you? When he sees you he start to speak blessings. Hey say good things about you, say nice things, say powerful things and speak words over your life. It's powerful and know that when they see you, kisses. One day a certain pastor travelled out of Ghana to somewhere and the Bishop who sent him asked him to do certain things and in the end he rebelled again and said I will not obey you again. You get it. And the Bishop who sent him was very unhappy with him. And I went to visit this Bishop and he started to talk about that guy. He said that guy. You see, when fathers begin to say what they've done for you is not good, one of the things I don't like at all is to tell I did this for you. I did this because when that thing is happening, he's about to kiss you, but he's just giving himself the legal basis to kiss you. The guy. I've never got a visa before. I've never been able to travel before. Now he's been able to travel and he has forgotten how he went to that place. And he started to speak and he lifted his hand and he said the wind is against him. The guy, he said, said the wind is against him. Now, if the wind is against you, it's not easy to move forward. And at that time, the guy had a nice big church, but now your father has. And he said, what did that boy would come to my house and when he comes, I would tell the security guard, release the dogs to get him instead of welcoming. I'll still release the dogs. Hey, may I never say release the dogs in Jesus name, in Jesus name, in Jesus name. So one day I went to that country where this brother was happily working and I went shopping. I mean I was, I was in a shop. Then I suddenly saw the guy who the wind was now against him. He had also come shopping with his wife. They came to buy cooking pots, frying pans. The whole trolley was full. The trolley was full of pots, pans, plates. And he was good. And I saw that I said this guy, he has come shopping. He doesn't know that the wind is against him. The last I heard of this guy, you must be careful when you are dealing with if it's somebody who has helped you in a certain way before. The last time I heard of this guy, his whole church has scattered, has gone to sleep with some people. The members have left the church financial, everything's closed completely. It took about five years for the wind to blow him back. Yeah, so watch out. Be careful when you are handling somebody who has helped you before and somebody who has even preached to you before. If I didn't know anything in this world and I've preached to you, be careful. You will not be sitting here. Do you know that You will not be here? Yeah, most of you will not be here if I have not preached the Word of God. That's like how we will not be here. Jesus are not dying on the cross for us. You can relate it directly to that. Yeah. So be careful because if a person gets annoyed and says something, he may just say, may he fall into a pit, may he never climb out of that, that pit. Something will be said and you'll be surprised that it will affect you for the rest of your life. That is why in the olden days they respected cases and blessings so much that they converted, that their fathers should touch them and speak a word over their lives. Amen. I want us to believe in these spiritual things greatly in this church. We must have a faith in God, in fathers, in pastors, in respect for pastors and whatever, whatever they do. If you don't believe that, even if you are going, go properly, go quietly, go humbly, go with all a contract heart knowing that it's at the end of the it's only God who judges us and keeps us. Watch for your soul and be careful for yourself because you don't know what will happen tomorrow and you don't know how a word spoken, just one word can just change the course of your life. So be careful, my friends, my brothers and my friends. Amen. Derek Prince said something. Don't worry, I'm going to close soon. Derek Prince said something. He said. He said if you do not honor your father, it will never be well with you. It will never be well. It's the only thing. One of the only things I ever learned from Derek Prince is this thing he said he has seen all through his life. If you do not honor your father, it will never be well. And you will not live long. These two things because it's the contrary case of of of this blessing that honor thy father and that it may be well with you. And talk about that it may be well with you, that it may be well with you. Sometimes in a family and when you see their children, usually it affects the first born. The first born are more familiar with their parents because they see them growing up. So they see their weaknesses. And 1st born they can easily despise. Sometimes they get agitated. Why does my father behave like this? Why doesn't he come back for my mother? Why doesn't he do that? Why has he left us? Why have they left us a lot? And you see that one of them is agitated while the other children, they just continue playing. They don't even notice the one who is agitated. You see, the life is different because she has become agitated with a sin, which is not her sin, but the sin is affecting her heart. The sin of the Father is affecting her and it's causing her to react, and it's causing her to evoke a curse on herself. Do you understand? Because it's like one thing leads to another. That's why it's a vicious cycle. He sins, then you also sin against him. Then the cast comes to you that affects you and goes on and on and on. You are never free. Hey, I tell you so this, this father said, they, they, they have a way and you have to learn and develop fear. Fear. When you are doing things, you are dealing with people fear. One day I was preaching. I gave an example about my biological advice. It was not a good example. I heard the voice of the spirit of never use your father for such an example again. Never. Whether it's true or not true. Never use your father for such an example, even if he's dead. Even if he's dead, don't use him as an example, an example of something that is not positive. Don't use him if he even if he's dead. Don't you see my son as such an example. I want us to become a check that are afraid of God and afraid of fathers, afraid of pastors, afraid of what God has put his hand on what God has said about setting means just fear it and conduct your life within those corridors so that it will be well with you and so that you can live long. How many understand what I'm talking about? How many understand what I'm talking about? Yeah. So, brothers and sisters, less fear that it may be. Well with this is the blessing for honoring a father. And that's why you must take your time to honor fathers. Many times. Archbishop Duncan Williams has blessed me. Many times he has told me. Now that's how I remember. I say you are the only one who has who remembers me. Yeah, many times he has told me you are the only person. Yeah. So what I told you is if it was only because of you, that I I I was in the ministry only because of you. At least I feel that it's worth it. Yeah, most they don't even realize even that. OK, if the person carries a fool, his existence brought you into the world. Are you listening? Listen very carefully. Very, very, very, very carefully. I want you to fear God. There is a spirit called the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord. That spirit makes you afraid of God and afraid of the things that God says are dangerous. It's called the spirit of the fear of the Lord. And if you read the Bible, there are many parties say that even he says the fear of the Lord, not the fear of guns or the fear of armed robbers or the fear of thieves, but the fear of the Lord. That is the beginning of wisdom. We should fear it. And pastors, we should fear all these things. Let's know where there are boundaries and are dangerous things. Amen. Are you listening to me? Amen. How many want to last long in the ministry? Want to preach that you are an old man? Hey, it's not easy to preach that you are old. Angel Police. Are you there? Angel Police to the right and to the left? There is no shame. Amen. Oh, hey, I see. You want more. We want more. We want more Four reasons why Davids could have rebelled against Saul #1 because Saul was demon possessed #2 because Saul was rejected by God #3 because Saul killed pastors, and #4 because Saul was into witchcraft. Four reasons why David could have rebelled against Saul because what? Number one, Saul was involved with what demon possessed #2 Saul was rejected by God #3 Saul killed pastors #4 Saul was into which car? He died in a witch's house. How many will I agree that this type of person, he's lost, he's fallen, we can just suck him, isn't it? But you don't just suck him. God has placed his mark on the person, and as long as the mark is on the past, whether his demon possessed, which is this, that that you leave it to God to kill the person himself. God has killers that he uses personally to kill his own servants if he wants to kill them. Amen. Shall I be careful? We've got servants who one day a certain brother came to visit me, came to visit me in my house, and I have somebody who helps me in the house, serving, doing things. One day he began to say bad things about my servant, the visitor. He's like this, he's like that. He doesn't do this, he doesn't do that. As I listened to him, I said to myself, I like my servant even more. I will not suck my servant at all because of what you ask. In fact, you better be careful that I don't allow you to come to my house again because you don't know why I like him. I can tell you reasons why I like him that may be surprising to you that you cannot do for me what he does for me at 2:00 AM in the night and at 1:00 AM in the night. A servant who is never angry, a servant who never has a face or a mood. A person who can leave face never changes and become we can get an attitude. Hey, you say my servant is no good. That's how it is when you start to speak about God servant. But he's like this, he's like this. He's like and God looks at you and say you when you were in the universe and I was calling you, you didn't come. This man, I collected him from the rubbish dam. He said he likes me. He has been following me. He has so many problems. I knew he has all the but you, the angels, you refuse to work for me and that's why I've been using this guy all these years and you'll be surprised how God really likes the bad man the Bible says he saw. I hated Jacob the thief. I loved him when my father was alive. He had some people who work for him who were thieves. When I say they are stolen some of his things before and I thought he's going to suck them. He didn't suck them another time they stole some more. He had some medicine how they stole it, medicine that he used to give his horses. They stole very expensive and other things they were doing. He never sucked them till he died. I always looked at it as one of the mysteries. One day I grew up and I also had somebody who was working for me. One day the person stole something and I said I will not suck him. Then he stole again. I said I will not suck you still. Then I realized I've entered into my father's shoes exactly. That I've also employed somebody who is stealing and I'm not sucking him because there is a reason why the person is keeping somebody who is stealing something. Like even what he's stealing, he should add it to his salary. You even calculate his salary plus what he steals. You see, sometimes when you see an old person, you know why the person uses that. But how many? Sometimes I realize that you wonder why God uses certain pastors. Raymond Cullen. Raymond Cullen, he said he was talking to pastors. Benny Hinn was coming to pray for pastors for their anointing, and they were walking out. He got angry. He got angry and he rebuked them. He said you have to go out at this time when Benin is coming to his ministry and you say you are busy. He says you have anything to do. I have 100 times more. That's why I said because you don't respect anointing. And so that's why God would take a bodybuilder like me with no education. That's why he describes himself as a bodybuilder with no education. He was a driver for Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was one of us Arnold Schwarzenegger's drivers. Do you know Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terminator? I'll be back. Hasta La Vista. I'll be back. That guy who was his driver? Yeah. Driving him without any school. He has not had any school. When you see his, when you see his notes, his preaching notes, you see like one page like this is written about 4-5 words. Big words like that and you turn around like a big W like that. Let's not be to school. I you, you been to school, you have 26 members. He has not been to school. He has 40,000 members. And you wonder why God would choose somebody like that. No school, no education, a bodybuilder. And God chooses as a police, as a police, as a police, any police in the black shirt, that's the one. Another one. There is no shame. You may scream. Listen, God has God has a reason for employing certain kinds of people that you would not choose and sometimes they don't have certain moral qualifications that you have. He still uses this material, but I found myself doing the same thing that my father. So at the point I really don't have negative thoughts about my father. Why does he keep sad bad people? Is he also bad himself? That's why he does not sack such people. I started to have thoughts like that and I grew up myself. And then I realized that I will not suck this person. Yeah, I'll not suck him. I'll not get rid of. There are reasons. And you babysat God lies. The person's so much because he's the only one who does certain things for him, even though he's a thief. Wow, isn't that fantastic? What are the four reasons why Saul David could have killed Saul? He was what the man possessed. Hey #2 rejected by God. If God has rejected, why don't you also reject him? When you see a master rebuking his server, don't join in. Don't just watch and then go away. Don't start and say something. They understand themselves. You start and say something, they will tell us why are you saying something? Amen. Are you there all right? Frightening rebukes of a father? May your father not rebuke you in a frightening way. Do not disgrace or embarrass a father. Amen. Do not embarrass them. Amen. Do you hear me? One day Benny Hinn came to Ghana and we had a crusade and one of the farthest of our country came to sit in the front and somebody came and this embarrassed the guy on the stage. I was sitting at the 2nd row and I watch it all happened. He came and said you move out like that, move out. This was a Bishop made him move out like that and he came and he sat at the back there and he was very quiet when a white guy, he came and made faces at him, said smile, smile, smile like this. Why you not smile? Hey, I cannot tell you what happened to the Ghanaian guy who came to organize that guy from the dead, that he moved him out of that chair. Come because he was the host. Move the guy out. Come, Move to the back. And it was a very funny thing. Just leave them alone. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. Fear God. Oh, this is the what I'm sharing is called the spirit of the fear of the Lord. Yeah. Just fear that the laws anointed I should touch. God forbid you can touch. Not me. Yes, that's why sometimes when I watch TB and I just turn it off, I switch to CNN. Some of the people on the television, I know things about them so that when I would thoughts begin to come to Amazon, I can't stand those thoughts. I switch it to BBC. It's better. I mean, you understand what I'm saying? You just watch the news. That's why I've killed somebody in Palestine. Somebody's dead. Here they are bomb Afghanistan. You just close your eyes and you sleep. No bad thing happens to you rather than watching a pasta. Then you say something. Look at this man, this, this, this, that. Then before I realized you have brought something, a demon has come from a mountain to come and stay in the room with you. Lift your hand, say I fear God, I fear God, and I shall live long because I fear God. Lift your other hand, Say I fear his servants, I fear his servants and I respect his servants. So help me God in Jesus name, in Jesus name, in Jesus name, Amen. How many know that there are very few pastors in the world, Very few. Even though I'm preaching to all of you, not all of you are going to become ministers. Some of you will withdraw. You will go back. Yes, you're just hearing you go back because the Bible says many are called but few are chosen. So we must always honor and respect those who are able to follow through and go through with it. Amen. And I know that God is going to bless you. Stand to your feet. All right, lift your hands. Father, thank you for your word in this camp. You are healing us and stabilizing us. We thank you that for many, many years to come you shall bless and increase South Africa and the great work that you are doing here and all the countries that are represented here, they shall increase and they shall never decrease.

We love you, we praise you and we honor you Lord, in the name of Jesus, Amen. Sit down, think we are going. OK, OK, OK. Tomorrow or today we shall continue. Don't tell lies, you say. One more, one more, one more, one more. You want more? OK, 5:00 AM. Can you come at five? Yeah, Because we are closing in the morning. The people say that we have to leave here by 10. You understand or you don't understand? It's a militarized camp to win a war. Yeah, this is war. So tomorrow, so we are going to lie down to catch some 2 hours, 3 hours, 3 1/2 hours, 3 hours sleep. You don't need more than three hours. We are grown up. Tell your neighbor you must be strong, Very strong. The strongest so far. Tell your neighbor there is no shame. If you are tired, you may scream. OK, so 5 AM 5:35 AM is rising Bell. We must brush our teeth first. And those who don't like bathing, good news for you. You can delay your bathing till after. Amen. Are you there? Are you strong? Are you very strong? Strongest so far. All right, I think you know that I've given you all the announcements. So, 530, did we take an offering? Yes. Tomorrow we'll take our last offering. OK, OK. Have you counted the offering? I want to know whether I can buy all the tickets. I wish you can count it. If you if we don't get a ticket, we are not going home. You want more? Hey, God has blessed us in South Africa. A new blessing has come here. I said. A new blessing has come here. Wow sisters, you will no longer be lonely in Jesus name. Yeah, brothers, you will not struggle. The Bible says because of the ointment, the virgins do love thee. Because of the ointment, the virgins do love thee. Amen. I see God doing something good. He's blessing, blessing you now, healing you now, strengthening you now, opening the door for you now. 1000 churches have been released. Through the people that are here into eternity. We shall enter with joy, with gladness, for we fulfilled Our Calling and we finished our ministry. Father, thank you for your great blessing that you have given to us.
