Welcome to track #4 of 100 million souls. All right, have you sorted out your sound problems? How would we know when they sorted out their sound problems? All right. Now the next important thing is I'm talking about the important things that are going to help us to accomplish our vision, Amen for a 100 million souls, all right, Amen. And that is what I call a good response to the father. A good response to the father or to fathers. Amen. Now, your response to your father or to fatherhood will determine a lot of things about you now. 1 If you have as many children as Susie, you will understand what I'm talking about because I have as many children as she does. You see, I also have four children and if you can give me some volume on the front here, please. You'll find out that every child is different. Although they've come from the same process and the same sauce place. They may have some similarities, but each one is different. It is amazing. Even twins are different. We take let's say Prophet Khakra and Pasta Payne Maiden. They are twins. They were born on the same day, but they are different. So everybody is different. One of the places where you see differences is in the response to fathers or to parents, you see, And so it is very, very important for us all to examine our responses to fathers because fathers will cause you to rise or to fall like Luke chapter 2 verse 34 says, speaking about Jesus Christ, He said the child, this child is set for the fall and the rising Amen again of many in Israel and for a sign which shall be spoken against Amen. So the child will cause people to rise and will also cause some people to fall. So you would ask yourself, are you a rising agent or a falling agent? If you take yeast and you put it into the dough, is it going to cause it to rise or to fall? But how can it be that the same yeast causes it to rise and the same thing causes it to fall? That's unusual. One person will either cause you to rise and he causes everybody to contact you to rise. But the Bible says no, there there is somebody coming who will cause some people to rise and some people to fall. And that response is the same thing that you have in relation to fathers and mothers. In every family you see different responses to the same parents. One is annoyed and one is flowing. Sometimes all are flowing, sometimes all are annoyed. But it is in the families where you have contrasting responses that you realize that the rising, the fall is from the child, not from the parents, because the parents is the same, but it's the same parent and you are falling and you are rising. All right. It's a response problem. Either a response, a reaction reception, all the hours reception, reaction, response to the father causes the children to stay awake. What's what's her brother's name again? Yes, yes. Vernoni, I think your eyes are closing. So please turn up and go to the back. You know, can Can somebody help me with that? I wouldn't want to abruptly stop the program. Abruptly. Pastor Ernest? Yeah. Can you help me stand here? And then you just patrol. Yeah. So after 5 minutes, you come towards here, you stand by that, then you stand here and then you stand here like that. All right. Amen. So again, in America, OK, to do well, you need to rise in America, not to fall. I don't want you to fall in America. I want you to rise in America. How many want to rise in America? OK, so one of the ways you must respond, you must look at that is you must look at your response to the fathers. Look at your response to me. If I passed that. Look at your response, your reaction, your reception, 3 hours response, reaction, reception, response, reaction, reception. Look at your response to Bishop Joel, to other bishops, to your pastors, to whoever God places over you as a kind of a father or a father figure. Look at your responses. That response will make you go down and also can also make you go up. So the same person causes some people to go up and it also causes some people to go down. Not by anything that is doing. And amazingly, you can see that a father may not even speak after a word, but your reaction and your response will make you go down. And your reaction and your response will make this one go up to the same event. So why? And I'm going to show you several reasons why #1 the first reason is that a father can turn his heart away from his son. Amen. A father can turn his heart away from his son. And Malachi chapter 4 verse 6 brings out a warning. And the second reason is similar but different, that the son can turn his heart away from his father. That is totally different. Now what happens when nobody says this one is heart issue. So nobody talks like Andy. Andy is sitting here. You not say a word that is heart. You never say anything bad about me or to me that his heart is away from me. This, this particular thing has nothing to do with what you say. It says the heart has turned away. So when you start with the Father, that the father can turn his heart away from somebody, you won't say anything, just quiet. The Bible says, lest I come and I smite the earth with a kiss. I've decided to come to see two fathers and make fathers tend their hearts. When the heart is turned away, the fathers has lost his interest. The interest is not there. Wow. Are you listening to me? You're not interested. I'm not interested in the child. Doesn't care. The child doesn't insult. The child doesn't stop paying school fees. But he doesn't. He's not interested in that child. He doesn't insult the child, but he's just not interested in that. His heart is turned away from that child. Watch out when your father's heart has turned away. As a father, I am sure that my heart has turned away from some people. Oh yeah. Because it's not a sin to turn away your heart. I don't think it's a sin. It's just something that is there. Do you see? But it brings a case. And the case is for the child, not for the father. If your father has lost interest in you, you are the one who is going to suffer. Are you listening to me? Yeah, you are the one who is going to suffer from that father who has turned his heart away from you. He has nothing to say. He has no comment about anything anymore. It's true. Whatever you are doing, do, there's nothing to say about anything anymore. Because when something has been said, you don't even listen. You wouldn't even do it. Because when you are a pastor, after some time, you know when people will not even, they will not even do what you are saying. And if you've been tricked a number of times, like I have been, I've been tricked to give my opinion and to give advice many times. When I say tricked, I mean tricked. Yeah, literally tricked. Say this. Say what you think as though what I think matters. It doesn't matter. So a father can turn his interests from from his child, I tell you. And as a father, even of churches and of pastes, there are times that my interest in churches has just disappeared. Yeah, that's true. You see, even now when I look at it, I realize that I'm not interested in money. I don't. I don't want money. I want to work for God. I love the Lord. That's what I'm doing. I have to. I'm going to follow you, to beg you for bits and pieces and so on. It's just not. I can't. I don't. I don't have that feeling. And you will notice that the interest in certain things is necessary. Yeah. From the Father. The Father must be interested in you. The Father should like you. Pray for those whose fathers don't like them. If your father doesn't like you, you are doomed. You are downfall. Wow. Sometimes when you are young, you grow alphabet. You think that your father, you know enough and then you, you see, you know when you have a good feeling towards somebody, the person has a similar good feeling towards you. What? That's what people don't realize. So when you, when you are not flowing, the person is also not flowing. Amen. And so you find people who you find people whom the father is just not interested in what you are doing. Again, that is enough to bring a curse in your life. When you grow up and you feel, you know, you can even rebuke your father and you think in your head, this man is too hard. This man is like this. This person is like this is all those they are not spoken of. These are children. We don't say things that are in our head, but it has its way of drying you out in relation to the person. So you don't say anything, but you've got to the point where you think, oh, this one is this, this, this, this one, this, this, this, this one, this is this. We know him. He's like this. You know, when I preach, I preach and I can feel people who feel. They know. They know what I'm saying, they know what I'm going to say. They know about this. They have their mind. Everybody's made-up his mind already. No, no. You see, things are mutual. When you like me, I like you. When you've lost interest in me, I've also lost interest in you. That's why in the verse he talks about the children have lost interest in their father, and the father has lost interest in the children. And when the child looks too big for his father, one of the Is it because a father doesn't care? Children, I will not care if I'm a pastor and and you leave. I will not kiss you. I mean, I I will not kiss you. I don't. I don't believe in that. I don't want to kiss people. Sister, are you all right? Give me give me a water. Give me a water. And you are OK. Stand up, hands up. OK, OK. If you don't want it to happen to you, just be alleged. Are you listening? Listen carefully. Some of you have rebuked your father's in your head. You have. You've had a mind. You see how many of you realized that when your grandma at a point you didn't like your father, you felt it was too hard, it was too stressed. It was some way. He doesn't understand things. He doesn't inside. He's an old man, Jesus. That attitude is an attitude that we also have about spiritual fathers. It is an attitude about spiritual fathers. Amen. That is unspoken. It's from the heart. That's why That's why that that question comes in. Are you listening to me? You know why are you listening to me? You can say that you are talking, but the person is stop listening. That's where that thing comes from. Are you listening to me? How many are listening to me? Are you listening? Are you listening to me? That's where it comes from. You are. Oh. You are this, you are this, you are this, you are that. This is a mind. You don't understand things. You are talking too much. It's an attitude that comes towards biological earthly fathers, and it's the same attitude that comes towards spiritual fathers. And the spiritual father feels it. And I've felt it many times and I've learned over years. Sometimes I'll tell people that are with me, I realize that they are new and I will tell them. My friend, especially one person, I will tell Pastor Prince, I say don't bother. Why are you talking too much about this? Because either he will be advising somebody with a lot. I say stop, This is what I used to do. Stop all those things. They will not listen to you. That's what I'm saying, that this marriage counseling thing. I was one of my greatest surprise was to find because I know that Major Mevo always had a lot of energy. You see him holding the Manoir and moving through the church with it. Yeah, he's moving through the church. Yeah. I was surprised when you have lost interest in it, counseling the people. I said you too. It has happened to you. That's where that statement come from. Are you listening to me? So I want to ask you, you know, when I came and held that camp, what is your life? Look, there are times that I'm preaching. I wish I can withdraw all my preaching. I said I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have said all those things that I said. Shouldn't have said all those things that I said. Yeah. I shouldn't have said all those things that I said. Yeah. Times that I have sensed in my spirit, like talking to people, their minds and their hearts. I'm not listening to what you are saying. And they can't receive it. So I want, I want to tell you, you see, being a father is also a spiritual thing. You sense things and you know things. We sense things, we know things. And so I want to advise you, look, you will never do well when your father doesn't like you. Even in his heart, he has inhibited you. You see, a father is so powerful that he can just wave his hand line. He can just wave his hand line and not say anything. That wave is the heart that is ministering. It's like you will see, you will see something. You will see that it's not as you think it is. Oh, so pray that your Father will like you and be interested in you, and He will help you by whatever powers he has, no matter how little and remote. They are all kinds of fathers. Otherwise a case which means a frustration will happen to you. You may not know how, you may not know where, or you may not know what like you see, practically, Yeah. Fathers are people who predict the future and give you time after they see this. Oh, I'll give you 4 years, four years. This thing you are doing, I'll give you 8 years. In eight years time, you will regret it. Yeah. So pray, you know, many times in the ministry I notice my heart turning away from this group and my heart turns to this group. My heart tends to this. My heart is very sensitive to receptivity. Yeah, you see many things that I believe in that I preach. A lot of people don't believe in it. That's why the Lord told me through is that don't change it. Lot of things people don't believe in and I know when they don't believe in and they won't do it. There are a lot of things I know you will not do in America. So what I'm preaching I believe you can do. I have other things that I could say and preach that I won't preach them. Yes, because it's not for you. What I'm preaching, you can do. Sometimes you hear them in other camps. You realize that I didn't say that when I came to you because you wouldn't do. You can't do it. I don't. It will be. It will be something, just something. I don't know how you didn't understand it. Are you there? Yeah. So I pray for you. I honestly pray for you. And I noticed when I was preaching, at the point when lay, some lay people started to insult me for preaching about full time ministry. And I noticed my heart turning away from lay people. Yeah, I'm just, I'm just sharing with you different switches, you know, that I notice myself with my heart trying away from the lay people because I was, I was preaching about all these things that we are doing. You cannot do them on a lay basis. You cannot do it in the evening. You cannot do it on Saturdays only. You cannot do it once a year. A lot of places you cannot go as a laypest. You have to give yourself and just go. Yeah. So when people, some people started to say to me that I am preaching against honest work, I said, wow, honest work. And even I have people thinking within themselves. They were not saying to, but they think within as if I'm against prosperity. Just I said watch me carefully, who is prosperous, who is prosperous, who has prospects? You say you are after prosperity. It's funny to me. So there was a point that I noticed my heart turning again to the lay people. In fact, that was last year. I had a lot of special meetings with the lay because I felt the Lord telling me, turn your attention to this lay pastors. I started to organise some special meetings. I think it was last year. That's why I don't think I've not seen you for a long time after I've seen you. I've been seeing you. I've been seeing you, but only that. I haven't been here. I don't need to come here after I see you. I've seen you. But I noticed that and. And actually, by the way, if we have a meeting, remind me about that thing. Yeah. You know, we, I noticed my heart switching. I noticed my heart going like this. My heart is like swinging like that. I went one to yeah, I knew I went one to a church. They said they were raising funds to buy a car for me and the whole car became a whole issue. I went back to the church and I told them they had gathered the car was going to cost about 50,000 and they had gathered about 11,000 and they were criticizing. Some were saying, listen, I went to the church. I start, I, I knelt down like this in front of the church on a Sunday morning and I said thank you for I'm sorry for any, whatever somebody has come to restaurant this and that. So I took the money and I said after church, I want everybody to come for the money that he has contributed. We have the list of all the money that everybody has and they came for it. They came for it. Yeah, they came for it. You think it would not have an effect on my heart towards this group of people? It will have an effect, Yeah, for a long time. I said wow and then somebody came to Ghana to talk about me that I and then I'm dead trying to take money to do a change. I thank you. So all those things have an effect. Is that the heart switch. Then at the point I had a dream, the Lord was telling me you have to be interested in these people again that you you'll be surprised that it brings cases. Watch grossly, you see, brings cases, all those things. So watch out. You know me, I'll tell you some if you're a child, let it be one of your aims that your father will like you. That's that's I mean make it an aim to be a favorite son or a close enough son or a close enough daughter. Don't detach yourself and don't be an average member of the family because I'll tell you that there is a point at which things I'm not equal or neither are they done equally. Fevers coming? Yeah. One daughter, her father told her When I die, you will see how much I loved you. Yeah. When I die, you will see how much I love. And when he died, she, oh, although he had so many children, he favoured this daughter. He took from here, from here, from here and just give her take this, you have this, but add this, you have this. Add this Add this Add this has Add this had almost nothing. But he told her, he said when I die, you will know how much I loved you. Because when a father's interest in you is increased and you are. Yeah, Because look for life, even me, I have, I have, I have people that I like, people that I favor. There are people that benefit from their closeness to me. Of course there's. I mean, it is normal. There are people who are close, closer. It's up to you. Just make it a point as a child, because all of us are children. Yeah. My relationship with Archbishop, I'm. I'm, I'm one of his favorite Nazis, his main person. Yeah. Some of us have made ourselves, you know, aloof. Yeah. How can you be in a church? The pastor doesn't know you. How can you be in a church? You leave. The pastor doesn't know you are leaving. How can you leave before you even say you've left? How can you leave before you know you've left? All of us are still children, and you'll always be a child. When you grow up, you still feel only that sometimes they are not flowing. So no one can treat you like a child when they see you is like, OK, yes, thank you. OK. You're very stiff. Nobody can treat you like a child because you are big. Yeah. So it does bring a curse. It does. In my short existence as a father, I have times I have taken decisions, sat in my office and said type this, remove this person's name, change this, remove this person's name. Change it. As my heart would change. My heart would move from this person to this person. Bring this, change this, change it to this type. OK, bring this, remove this name. I have done it. I'm telling you, be careful. You may think nothing is being said about anything. It doesn't matter. It matters. It will matter. And many of us are our parents. You know what I'm talking about. You may not know. You can easily know. Some of you are your father's back home. Their feeling towards you is neutral. It's like you are just neutral. It's just neutral. Neutral. I pity you. Yeah, I pity you. Those who our father is, he lies shouting. He doesn't treat our mother well. He doesn't treat your mother well. Fine. That's that's you are not that's not your marriage. Your marriage is not coming. Yours is not coming. And one of the things you don't know is how your mother also was behaving. What she is she like? Because you can know somebody, a person can be a good mother to you and an evil wife to her husband. There are a lot of good mothers who are wicked and evil wives, troublesome and harassment wives, but they are good mothers. They love their children, they care for their children, they fight for their children. That doesn't make you a Good Wife. And the same other way round as well. You may be a good father to your children. Do this, do this, do this. But you are a painful experience for any woman to marry. It's a mistake of backing the last horse who will be last in the race. And you went to bet on that horse. So I'm explaining to you that a further you can rise and fall depending on the interest levels in you. The absence of it don't care. I don't mean cases. We are coming to cases because your father can curse you and you go down, but let's us not, we are not cursing. Nobody is cursing anybody. It's just interest from the heart. I'm interested in you. I'm no more interested in you, I like you. I no more feel anything towards you. When I see you, it's like I'm seeing a wood but you don't know how. Your father would carry you like a baby, play with you like this, and kiss you. All my 2 little daughters, I made songs for them. Yeah. And I sang to them. Yeah, I made songs. I carried them. I sang to them. It's true. I've helped them. I kissed them. I love them, my babies, my daughters. And then sometimes they grow up. They look at you. In fact, you are old. Come and scratch my back. No, I don't want to scratch your back. Come and massage my foot. Oh, I don't want to massage. And I remember, lift them up like this, saying if I speak more, I will start crying. If I speak more, I will start crying. It's true. I'm telling you. That's why you have to be very careful with fathers, because their father has loved you in a certain way. But you, you when you grow up, you don't know that he loved you in a certain way. But as time comes, it became funny. I don't know how he loved you and what he. That's why this father said, you know how much I loved when I'm dead. Yeah, I'm telling you. And and it's the same thing with spiritual things. When Major Mepho died, when is when Emma Kum and I started crying, she was crying. When Bishop Saki Kumar was normal. When he called me, I said, I said thing. We started crying together because in Ghana, I was in Australia, we were crying together on the phone of a major buffer. He started crying. We cried and cried and cried together, just the two of us. But you see, you wouldn't know when your father loves you in a in a in a way. And then maybe you are not so interested in him. He was so keen or he's like you find instant when he can feel that he's like funny person to understand things. We don't enjoy you in the house or you are another generation. Oh, yeah, I'm telling you, I know what I'm saying. You look and you say, oh, Bishop, is this this? But you wouldn't know. Maybe because you see, when you are a child that somebody loves, you wouldn't know, You know, think about it. You know, you don't know how you were loved, but you don't remember. There's no way to know how you know, how you know all these things. You have to be careful. It can affect you. No case has been spoken, but it can affect you. The next one, a father, can cause his child to rise by blessing him especially. Amen. A Father can cause you to rise by blessing you, especially He can just speak a word of blessing. Amen. Today I got a text from somebody. He told me you can come all the way to the front desk space. I can see you. A father can bless you. I got a text from somebody. He sent me it. And he said that that prayer that you prayed on me has worked. And he told me about a particular breakthrough that he had received. Yeah. So, yeah, that blessing a Father can change your life. I But you see, you ask yourself, why would somebody bless you? Why would somebody bless you? Finally I was telling somebody you are blessing the holy people. Don't just say that thing to everybody. You are blessed. That blessed? No, it's almost like a greeting. You know I'm blessed. Why? Why on earth would a Father look at you and say something powerful to you? Often there is no reason to say anything to you other than good evening, oh, good morning or hello and bye bye. Why? Why should he when he sees May you be this May, may this May. Why? Usually there's no reason. Do you understand? Hallelujah. So the Lord said to shame, may shame, Noah said to his son, shame, may shame be blessed by the Lord, and may Canaan be his servant. May you be blessed. That's all. And then that's, that was all the blessing. One of the reasons why people don't get blessings is sometimes that you don't provoke the blessing. When God Noah bless him, something happened that made Noah bless him. You see Noah was about to be disgraced by his one of his children and this one rose up to fight his that disgrace. He said don't say that, don't say that, don't say that thing. Stop that thing now. Don't say it, and don't repeat it. So when Noah got up, he realized that his son had done something powerful. So when he got up, he said mishem be. Those are the ones that come from the spirit of the birth. Mishem be blessed. One day I visited an Archbishop. It was his birthday and I think he was having a party or he was doing something. I went there or we were somewhere and I think it was something to do with him. And when we were going at the gate, he lifted his hand and he said may you also be celebrated because we had come to celebrate him. So he said, may you also be celebrated. Wow. You see, one day I was talking to a certain lady, her mother was 70 years old. And I said to her, go to Ghana, go to Ghana for your mother's birthday. And she said, oh, she, she cannot, she cannot get time off. And that time is whatever this is done. I said, look cool. It is very important, you know. It's your mother. This, this, this, this, that. Talking plenty. Then I saw that. No. No listening. Sorry for talking. Yeah. Are you listening to me? It was coming. Are you listening to me? I just withdraw my address. I was OK. No problem. But do not be surprised if no one celebrates you. Your children will never rise up and celebrate you. Don't be surprised though. Don't be surprised when you are very sad. I've seen numerous pastors very sad when their congregation failed to celebrate them. Face them past these people. Yeah. So I am saying to you that you're defending your Father can cause a blessing to come up on you in a big way. When Bishop Duncan Williams was becoming an Archbishop, again, it was a controversial. If, for instance, I'm being ordained as an Archbishop, some people in the church will react to it. What is all these titles? Who does he think he is? You know, this self appointed egoistic type of people that have come and so on and all this and what is the use of this? It's a Bishop and you are doing this and the Bishop, nobody has talked about it. Now you say you are an adviser. You want to be the same as everybody. You think you are this, and now, hey, you have people discussing the house. Is it not true? He's full of himself. You can't even see that, even his attitude. But when he's preaching, he waves his hand. It just moves around. And so, oh, watch out. But when Archbishop Dangan was becoming an Archbishop, the night before, the Holy Spirit spoke to me in the house and said to me, Go, go and honor him. And actually I wept and the Lord said to me, you know everything that you, all the things you've been doing, He has always been there when honour him. When I went no pass, passes were not passes, did not come to honour him. So when I was leaving, he called me, I went, I said, can I see you for 2 minutes? And then he took me to inside his, the bathroom of his office. And then I, yeah. And I and I and I said we are honoring you. We are proud of you, we love you. Everything that you are doing, we believe in it 100%. If you are a Pope, even we accept you, there's nothing still problem at all. He just looked at me. Then he put his hand up. He said a number of things, but what I remember he said, may the Lord give you the upper hand in every crisis, in every crisis. And for crisis there will be crisis, there will be problem. Maybe you are new so you don't know that there will be problem because you are new and there will be. So your relationship or your responses. I gave you 3 words reaction responses and reception to fathers can make you do well and one of it is when you are able to do things that provoke blessings from him. Yeah, and no one shame did that by because Noah had drunk and he was naked in his tents and somebody had come to laugh at him, come and look. And Sham came in backwards and covered and said we don't want to see that. We don't want, we don't want to know that it can bring a blessing to you if you have left your mother in wherever to be a beggar or even your father in prison. Maybe your father is in prison and as far as you are concerned you have no father. He should go to hell. No. One time I met one of my church members, he told me, Bishop, my father is a thief. He's a thief. What shall I do? All the people in prison, you think they don't have children? They have children only that none of your members have. Have. Yeah, those are their fathers. But there are people. Their fathers are thieves. I told him, visit your father in prison. Visit your father in prison. Honor him in prison and care for him all the time. You will be blessed because he's your father. Prisoners are some of the people that are blessed, sick people, prisoners, old people, their powers are just with their words. Amen. Are you still around? Oh you are feeling sleepy, Are you sure #4? Are you ready with the sound at the back? Is it better now? Is it OK? OK #4 A father can cause the rising of his child by predicting his greatness. Amen. Wow. In Genesis Chapter 9 verse 27, Noah predicted the greatness of Japheth, and he said, God shall enlarge you, Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of shame, and Canaan shall be his servant, three children. Amen. Are you with me when your father says you will be great, you have a big church, your ministry will work, It's a prediction. It's a blessing, Amen. And again, this blessing came from the parents, from the child who, from the child who was protecting his father's image. Amen. As we have had Orangus, we have people who are defenders of the church and they fight Orangus. Is it not true? Yeah, Amen. So those people inherit blessings. Hallelujah. I would naturally not even, I don't even, I don't even need to feel anything, but I just feel a blessing towards those people. I just noticed myself blessing them in my heart and I see my heart and my interests turn in that direction and I notice myself liking them because they are defending the church, because all my life I'm using to build a church. So if you are using all your life to spoil the church, you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, I noticed. I noticed blessing coming from me towards those people. I said that wow, be blessed, be blessed, be blessed. We are fighting for the church. May God fight for you too. May God help you. Since Bishop Saki and Bishop Eddie fought for me when we started the church and fought amongst young, young boys and girls in the nursing training, college and medical school, they have always occupied a setting place in my heart. I want to be buried by them. I want them. We'll all be buried together. In fact, I we we are nowhere. We'll be here, here, here we are all together. We have formed a fellowship down there already. Yeah. We'll not even need mobile phones. We just, we'll be neighbors and we rise together. Resurrection. Yeah. There is a blessing that comes on those who fight for the church all, all the time. They will fight. They will say, I am not called by God. I'm not this. I'm not that. In those days, there was there was a sudden church. It was very big. The pastor, Rosa Pen preached a powerful message and the message was entitled Don't eat bread in Bethel, Don't eat bread in Bethel. And that was the story of that prophet, young prophet who went to the old prophet and gave him a message. And the Lord told him don't eat anything when you go there, just give the message and come back. But the old prophet told him, the Lord has told me it. So he sat down and he ate. When he was coming back, a lion attacked him and ate him. So the message is, don't eat bread in Bethel. In other words, don't stay in churches where the prophet who is not called and who has even fallen away is preaching. Don't sit there to eat, you know, don't stay in a ministry where the pastor is not even flowing with God. And when you stay there to eat, you sit in that church. A lion wool will devour you. Do you understand the message? And that message was preached powerfully. And we in Lighthouse, the falling into the category of those in Bethel. Bethelic members don't eat bread in Bethel. In other words, move out of Bethel. All my members were confused. Then the associate pastor came to preach another message entitled Eunuchs in the Kingdom, Eunuchs in the Kingdom. Now this message, Eunuchs in the Kingdom, speaks of men who have been castrated and have lost their power because of that and are being used to bath Queens and they are powerless and they are in the Kingdom and they have lost their power. So what's explaining that in churches where there is no spiritual for as you stay there, you are actually a eunuch because your towers have been taken away and you are in there and you are incapable of backing or doing anything for the Lord. Those who are in the wrong place and your powers have been taken. So come out of the place where your towers are being removed from you, so that you will not be a eunuch in the Kingdom. These are powerful messages and another message what came out about those who are not called little foxes pour the vine and that there are foxes who have been released into the vineyard and the vineyard of God's house is there. But these foxes who are not called by God, Little little foxes, little little churches, little little groups whom are not called by God have been released into the vineyard and they are spoiling the vineyard. It's all these people who are not called, including some people who are medical school. Instead of concentrating on medical school, they say they are pastors. Do you understand the foxes in the vineyard? These are classic messages. So is that like, it's like the church is full of foxes, little foxes. But Bishop Saki and Bishop Eddie stood up to defend me. Your father, I am not a little fox in the vineyard who is spoiling anything. By all means I will, I will like them and I will have a certain attitude towards them. Amen. So I am saying to you, defenders of the church, may somebody give you that attribute as a defender of the church, this church that you see, which has registered over 6000 members right here in America. You'll be surprised when we started the church in the little classroom upstairs in Manhattan with Aquelle and a few other people. Yes, but through the people's faithfulness, you see, that's what the devil wants to spoil. Every big thing will be small. One day it will become big. So I'm telling you, you've got to watch out because you can get a blessing or you can get a kiss. Wow, is it amazing, Is it fantastic? Hmm. Are you ready with the video #5? Wow. Is it amazing? Is it fantastic? Is it supernatural? Let's welcome Kojo to tell us a few things.
