That he would send for him to Jerusalem. Laying wait in the way. To kill him. But Festus answered. That Paul should be kept at caesarea. That he himself, would depart. shortly the Let them therefore said he. Which among you are able to go down with me. And accuse this man. If they're being wickedness in him. When you are tired among the more than seven days, he went down to caesarea. and the next day, That commanded Paul to be brought. now, when he was time the Jews, Which came down from Jerusalem to the roundabouts. And laid many and Grievous, complaints against Paul, which they could not prove. While he answered for himself. Against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple. Not a yet against Caesar. Have I offended anything at all? The fastest. Willing to do the Jews. A pleasure. and said, Paul and said, Well, that go up to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things before me. in other words, can I transfer you to Jerusalem? Remember as just Jerusalem where the part Wicked. Pastors are. The ones who organized for Jesus to be killed. They all lived in Jerusalem. There are some religious people. Write their religious. But they are very Wicked. Yeah. They are very dangerous. And as you grow, you will learn not to trust people just because the person says a good church. Some of the people are, some of the people are spies. Yes. I've always known their spies. In the church. One day I was at a prayer meeting. and one of my pastors. Came to me. and he said, you see that girl? After which girl. He said. Halfway through the Cheddars and I have that goes this way. and, There's a girl on the right. He's praying. She was growing up. Calabar la la. We're having an all night. he said, if you ask her where she where she'll tell you that, she works at the airport, Yeah. He said that there is no office at the airport, he said, I went for the Secret Service. That kill is my one of my colleagues. She's on a mission here. Yeah. Then I land. That there are people. That don't fear God. And that can be sent. Into a church and they will go. Come and spy on the church. Sometimes give an evil reports. About the church. Come, they have to blend. You have to fit in. Oh, now the church member That's of my. Father, disinherit all spies. Let another take. Their place. A position be taken by another may they be scattered from our mace and Wither in Jesus name, amen? So he said you want to go to Jerusalem. He said no. I will prefer to go to home. So, he answered his best friend, then. Paul said, how was that, sisters judgments where I ought to be just To the Jews. I have done no wrong as the very well known West. Because he go to this Jerusalem and thankful. A lot of religious guys there. Very some way. Verse 11. Forever be an offender or have committed anything worthy of death. I refuse not to die, but if there be none of this is where of these accused me. No, man. May deliver me unto them. I appealed directly to season. the first us when he had confirmed with the council and said, Thou shalt go. It is okay. And after setting days King, a grouper and banished. Came to caesarea. To salute. Festus. Now, when you next visit, The Holy Land. How many plans to be on the next? Visit to the Holy Land. Wow. We are going to have a special talk, very anointed. One of the places. One of the places you go to is a town called caesarea. It was built by King Herod. Yeah. Who was really trying to please? Caesar. So he named the city caesarea. Caesarea. because he was a like, an ambassador of Caesar like the Of that area. Then like how Conscious Pilates was in Judea. And Herod this particular Harold was that's ever Heroes. This particular one was at the town, he changed the name. To see the rear. So when we go to the Holy Land is one of the places we visit caesarea. He's on the way. Up to Galilee. Wow, tell somebody I'm already excited about. Go to the holy Hallelujah, know after second days I'm talking about how can I say, thanks. How can I best say? Thanks. Amen. A gripper. And Venice. Came unto caesarea to salute Festus. Now, when they had been there, many days first was declared Paul's. Case, of course. To the king to King Agrippa. Saying. There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix. The governor was there before I came. When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and Elders of the Jews. Informed me Desiring to have judgment against him. To whom I answered it is not the man of Romans to deliver any man to die before that man, which is Accused half the accusers face to face and have license to answer for himself. Concerning the crime Blade. The case are not men of Injustice. Just give off people to be killed. Are you understanding? Therefore, when they came. When they come. here, without any delay on, the more I sat on the Judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought forth against whom when accuses to that they brought none accusation of sustains as I suppose like the thought of things I thought. They would mention. That he had done. There was nothing like that. He was expecting to his fellow colleague Agrippa. Who was visiting? You understand that they have, he has a particular strange prisoner. The people wanted to kill him. But when I listened to the case, I couldn't hear any. Substantial case. And that is how a lot of accusations are when you go into, you can't find anything substantial. That should have really warranted. Such a charitable. Judgment right. Verse 19. But they have certain questions against him of their own superstition. And of one Jesus. Which was dead. Who Paul attempt to be alive. And because I thought of such man of questions, I asked him, whether he would go to Jerusalem. Like, I didn't know what to say. So we go to Jerusalem. and there be judges of these mothers, when Paul appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of August, I commanded him. To be kept. Till I might send him. To Caesar. All right. Augustus is a seizure. You heard of Julius Caesar, you know, Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is both a figure in literature. Macbeth wrote about him as he was a story. Like he was a real person. Who lived in Rome. Yeah. And what a real emperor. Of actually he was he wanted to be the emperor. And he was a brutal Soldier. He used to fight his Wars. Mostly in France. How many have read Asterix? Asterix the goal. Asterix and Obelix. And Obelix. Find it at Reed. You have to know is a International Reading material as a child like tinting. Some have not read Tintin. Asterisk. Yeah. after he said the goals and the Romans, as a rich was a goal, but that holds that whole comic Asterix is based on history. As it was a goal and the goal was France. And they fought with the Romans. And the Roman in particular they fought with was Julius Caesar. He was the commander of and who took people in France. Right. And when he came to Rome, He came by force, but everywhere, he conquer. He had the money and took his armies. And entered into Rome and took over the Senate. And made himself the head of state. And called himself. Caesar. Like the king, you know? so, The Senators didn't like it. That's all because they said. Rome will not be ruled by. Dictator. So, they pretended to flow, and then they had a plan one day. They said, when the time comes was striking will kill him. So Julius Caesar came to town that day, came to the Senate. He was talking with them and then they gave a signal and Several of this and it just came together. It was important that they did it together. There was no one particular person. And he took a knife and he stopped him about times. Everybody stopped him. And he was left. Dead. All right. Now. he had a very close friend Brutus and Cassius. When he was dying, he looked at the two is like YouTube. Are you part of this people? Do you understand? And he was, he died when he died. He may have heard of Anthony and Cleopatra. Another story in literature but it's also a true story. His main fateful right hand man was called Mark Anthony. Okay, and Anthony fought. And gave us Peter fought for his name man. Julius Caesar who had been killed. I understand the history. Are you interested or you're not interested? Some of the people are not interested over there. Okay. Sit down. Sit down, sit down. now, are you listening so Marc Anthony stood up and so the whole city That these 21 Senators have killed, whatever. And he spoke on behalf of of Julius Caesar and from his to offend Julius, Caesar, all the people who killed in Ramah away. so, Marc Anthony Thought that he was going to become the next season because he was like the most loyal person to Julius Caesar. Half. They have the funeral of Julius Caesar. When they finish a funeral. A will was brought out. And the will. Set that. Julius Caesar. Was giving all his property, his money. And especially his name, Caesar. To a certain nephew who was being trained somewhere in the sea. Far away. Yeah. So, my category was shocked. But I was the main guy. and, Who inherited? All of Julius Caesar's money, and everything was a young man called Octavian. So Octavian when he had that he has inherited from Julius Caesar everything, including the name. Took a little boat in came and landed. Quietly on the show somewhere and came into room quietly. When he came, he's like, I'm there. My man here, but Anthony was an older. More stronger guy in the system, but Octavian was clever. So he just weave his way, he printed some points and put his name on his other Tuesday, Octavian, Caesar. He was like hey who is this guy? Then he also had money so he could have soldiers. Then he realized that Anthony was too strong. So, he and Anthony said that, let us avenge Our Father who has been killed. So Marc Anthony joined forces with Octavia and let's go and Chase the people. So they went and Chase Cassius and Brutus far away and fought with them after they fought with them. And they managed to destroy them. Then Anthony and Octavian started to quarrel. They understand who should be the boss? He say, but the one with the money who was younger was Octavian. So he fought with Marc Anthony and he defeated him. In the Battle of acting. And Marc Anthony ran away to Egypt. Where Cleopatra was he Antonio? He went to being the arms of Cleopatra. Actually he was with Patrick before he even fought the Battle of action because of actor, me included Factor has herself. The fighting. Octavian ruled when he came the Senate. This time said, oh, we have very happy to have you. Fans. We now are going to make you the emperor. As you said right to do it for himself, that going to make you the emperor. And we are going to give you a name. In that name, we are going to give you is Augustus. Like you are you are you are a revered? And honorable person. So his name was changed from Octavian to Augustus. And it was this Augustus who was alive. When Jesus was born and all these stories I want to appeal to Augustus. so, Yes. Very interesting, and he reigned for about 40 years. And he ran from that before Jesus came. He is the one who said he's registered. All that's what made Mary and Joseph. Go to Bethlehem, because they had to go to the best place for registration. That's why they had no way. For Jesus to be born. The understand because they were all registration. Augustus. Octavian who became Augustus. So, that's the importance of a will. Yeah, it shows you the importance of a will change the course of things. Yeah, I will. That was clear. You know, so it changed the natural course of things to what was needed is one of the best examples of the importance of a will. Yeah. Anyway, Back to. Our topic. So, when Paul had appealed To be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus. I commanded him. To be kept until I could send him to see. So is that I want to hearing of Augustus, which is The hearing of Caesar. Augustus, Caesar, are you there? That's 22, then I give us. also, like to hear the man myself, I'm interested in this strange case. Tomorrow, he said you should hear him. So Another more when I gripper was coming, been is with great pomp. And was entered into the Palace of hearing. and with the chief captains and principal men of the city at Festus command, Paul was brought And Festus. Said King Agrippa and all men which are here present with us. You see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me both at Jerusalem and I also hear Christ that he should not live any longer. But when I found that he had committed, nothing worthy of death. And that he himself had appeal to Augustus, I have determined to send him. Over. I have no certainty. To my Lord. Wherefore, I have brought him for before you before the king of paper. That after examination, had I might have something to write the know what to write to see her. Just as I don't know, the charges to write. For a simple to me and reasonable. a prisoner and not without to signify the Credible to send a present. Not know what to say. And he has done. How can I join Bible readings? Then a greater said unto Paul. Huh. That was permitted. To speak for thyself. Then false stretch forth, his hand and answered for himself. I think myself, happy King Agrippa because, As a before the 13th, things were of, I am accused of the Jews, especially because I know to be an expert in all customs and questions. You know, you have to say something nice to the judge. Which are among the Jews. Wherefore, I believe these to hear me patiently. Hear me patiently. Hallelujah. My mother of life from my youth, which was at the first among my own Nation at Jerusalem know, all the Jews. Which you be from the beginning. If they would testify that after the most strictest of our religion, I lived a Pharisee. A nice stand and I'm judged for the hope of the promise. Made of God unto our fathers. to which promise our 12 tribes instantly serving God day and night hope to come For which hope say. King. Agrippa? I am accused of the Jews. Hallelujah. Why should it be fought a single with you that God should raise the dead? I mean why should it looks fantastic? That God can raise the Dead? I never saw with myself that I ought to do many things. Contrary to the name of Jesus Christ, you know, I thought I should fight God, I thought to myself, I shall fight the name of Jesus. Jesus, which I also did in Jerusalem. And many of the Saints. Did I shut up in prison? Having received Authority from the chief priests. When they were put to death and I give my voice against them. I was in prison in the Night by to support the killing of these guys. What's up for people who are made themselves enemies of God and enemies of the church. So fight the church oppose the church and destroy the church. This shall be dispossessed from their City, the name of Jesus. Another will take their place, their way will be dark and slippery. The angel of death will chase them. The Lord will contend against those who contend against him, the Lord will fight them who fight against the Lord. In the name of Jesus, give the Lord a shout of Victory. Hallelujah. Verse 11. I got. You see? So, Was a very same way person. Our topic is, how can I say thanks? The a Punisher of the church. Like you've made another Army. I'm here to punish the church. Are you a wicked? Senior, bully, a bully, a server, a given him. A bully. To furnish Christians and punish the church. Hey, and I compared them to blaspheme. I thought I had God. Say, I don't like Jesus said, Jesus is a full. Against them. I persecuted them even unto Street cities. You see, it is a gripper.

And when We were falling all of us, the Isle of us. Of course. Comes all that nonsense. We're just fall down. Wow. Listen. He said, I had a voice. Speaking unto me. I couldn't understand it saying in the Hebrew time. Are you glad that? He knows your language knows your situation and you know that the language he must speak to you. that you will understand and that's what he knows my name. He I said, why why you see when God comes into your life? He helps you to start asking the right questions for the first time in your life. Why are you feeling what you are doing? What are you getting from? What you are good? And then he said it is hard. It is hard to do anything that is outside the will of God, it is Painful. Do anything. Outside. God's will. because it's very difficult to take to take turns and say, How many have been kicking tones before? Christ came to find you the price and that's 15. and I said, What? Now, Lord, You see you start to add the right question. Who is Jesus? What does it mean? Who is Jesus Christ? What? Who are you? Lord. And for the rest of your life.

For, I have a peered unto thee not for nothing. but this purpose, to make the minister, some of you this man in the first, one minute of his salvation, he knew that he was called to be a minister Some of you always have to start being the church for seven years. before I know that I have been called many times, Government.

Sit down for a moment. 2112. I believe that God is here with us. Hallelujah. Share with us. He's making changes in our lives, in our minds, in our thinking. he's, he's revealing himself to us nor as we read verse after verse, And the Revelation is coming is it is a revelation that makes us? Excited is the light when we see the light we get excited because you can't even believe that this is your life. You see us as we're just jumping. I was testing to myself. I oh God, so much. I mean I oh God, so much so much because time and time again. A different Junctions. He has appeared and he has directed. It says it's like light is turning on us. So I believe that God is here with us. And God is speaking to every, every one of us here. There's nobody here onto a course to live for him, to be grateful, to him, to be thankful to him, to serve him, to do his work, and to do, his will may be your top most. Priority that you will serve God that you may be your daily prayer and your daily desire. That today, as I'm living, I am living in the will of God that today as I'm living. I'm doing what God wants me to do. Not what I feel like doing know what I feel like doing but today every day, every day, as you wake up me, or catch you that today. Am I doing what God wants me to do? Am I fulfilling the will of God fulfilling? The will of God? Because I tell you something, something. Divine. Something Supernatural is happening to us something. Something new is taking place at this house. Thank you. Give it back, give it Thanksgiving. Praise everybody. From the back, from the back to the front every single Thank you. As a feeling himself to us. Hallelujah. Put your hands together one more time. Okay. How can I say, thanks? No. The 17. Or we start from verse 16. But a rise and stand on my feet. Have appeared unto me for this purpose. To make the minister. And a witness, both of these things, which thou have seen. one of those things in the, which I will appear in today, Delivering the people. And from the Gentiles. Unto. Whom I now send me. God will deliver you from the people. He sending you. sometimes the very people you've been sent to other people who want to fight you, And harm you but he said I would deliver you from the people. I have sent you to Sow, open their eyes. To 10 them. From Darkness to light. and from the power, Of Satan. Unto God. That they may receive forgiveness. Of sins. and, Inheritance. Among them, which are Sanctified by faith. That is in me. Amen. What a fantastic experience. Now. The question. That is on all our hearts, this afternoon. Is how? Can I say thank you, Lord. For your goodness. Your salvation. You see yesterday people were saying God is giving me education. School fees, there's that. You see the government of Botswana? Is one of the best governments. in the sense that they all of you have free school, isn't it? Up to University, isn't it? Which is, I mean, something you can't have in most places. At least we don't have it in Ghana. And even in England. And it's not, it doesn't exist there. But your country. Has. Such a good government. That you have this. Facility. Fantastic. But you see what God does for you. A government cannot do for you. Father cannot do for you. A mother cannot do for you. A friend cannot do for you. That's what I want you to see. there are things, your friend can do your father, can do a good governance even can do But what we have to be grateful is what only God can do for you. And only God can save you from going to hell. You can have your name in The Book of Life. Holy God can really change. people who have everything, but They are, is they have that? You would think that everybody should be happy. But people are not happy still. So, it's like why and what is it? That makes a person so blessed in God. And in Christ, it is basically the blessing of salvation. Hallelujah. Amen. so, here we have. Experienced. Blessings. Amen. Now. In the Apostle, Paul. We have. One of the best. Examples. Of how to say thank you. To God. Can somebody give me a chance? So I can sit down. I want to be just Enjoy just like you are enjoying. All right. Glory to God. Amen. How was nice to sit her. And, you know, I didn't know, you don't know what you're missing. And did you see everybody? What are you doing? Don't take your body, just put it right here because somebody find these two gentlemen, please Quick. summary trying to fire him because he Now. It is to King Agrippa. That Paul explained how? He has been grateful. To God. for speaking with the voice to him, In a light that will brighter than the afternoon. and, In the afternoon. It was afternoon and then he said, I'm shining the light, you see that they said life more than the Sun. And you see the response of Paul right there in the very next days, he tells you in detail. How he was? Saying, thank you. To his God for what is God has done for him? he said, where upon Who can? I was not disobedient. And to the heavenly vision. Wow. That is the first way. You can. Say, thank you. Where upon? Was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. You know, this is one of the great ways to show your appreciation. To God. Do not be disobedient. To the heavenly. Vision. How they lose you. I was not disobedient. To the heavenly vision. What heavenly vision has caught giving to you? That is the way to say thank you. To be not disobedient to the heavenly vision. That is why. I always talk about how. God, anointed me. Into whom. and said to me from today, you can teach Everywhere I Go. I share about that. I share about the Visions God as giving to me. And what I believe he has told me to do. and, My. Nation. Is that I should not be. To any. Vision. Or Heavenly guidance. God has spoken to me about that's the way. You can respond appropriately. To such a fantastic. Deliverance and salvation. He take our brother. Where's my brother? Who was here earlier? so, I came Is he around? He sees this drug him. Come. Saw something. What did you see Joaquin? What did you see? In the car. What did you see? Visions visions that that cannot be explained to know more human being That is it? Visions. Eclipse. Eclaims. Into something. What did you see? I think he says some spiritual. Form, human form. Spiritual in the car. yeah, before, and after before and after, Because God allowed him to see. If God had a lot of people have accidents come out. They never saw. I was driving the next night I saw. I was in the hospital. That's what they will say. Normally. But not with Joachim. We're talking, he saw something before the accident happened. when you become, A powerful teacher of the word. And you are, you are explaining to people. Let's say you are teaching on, demonology. You are teaching a series of seven things, every Christian should know about evil spirits. You tell them one day. I was in the car. You see, you may not believe it but it is what I have seen it. My eyes. Soy. Someone was driving but suddenly I saw something, somebody else driving the car and no more power which was not even speeding was 10 into the way of death. It was what I saw. God allowed you to see there. What else did you see after? I think it was some realm where I was, but I would see that. this this entity was waiting for me together with the kids just to The Entity was waiting for me to come out of myself. I think it's very spiritually enjoying. Yeah, so I think that process fails halfway Yeah. Just waiting. And if you ever hear me preaching about, Lazarus, and the rich man are always say that. The Last Rose Angels Came for him. The rich man. No, Angels Came for him. I believe. Evil spirit came for him. And took him down. To hell because you need to know the way there. What is this? This is a vision of The other side. It's a heavenly vision. But you will see people will go through this. It will not make much difference to them. but if it makes a lot of different, you will see him preaching time after time you think there are Is this the only Vision you saw? You are only repeat, most of us. They have even One Vision in your life if at all. Yeah. Yeah. and this time, You are having a dream or a vision. And you are seeing clearly that something is waiting. The other side. Take you. and if it, oh, you know. When I preached at my next Crusade. You hear this story as for me, I'll use it because I used people all the time. Oh yeah. It should be enough. To change your whole life. Forever and the cause of your whole life you're preaching time and time again. You talk about demons. You talk about anything, you talk about the other side, we talk about the creatures, we talk about death, you talk about heaven, but it doesn't mean a lot to people. so that when people are saying they don't, Render again, according to the benefit, that is done to them. Paul's response. To this vision. was unusual in the sense that he really responded. Well, whereas most people don't respond from me. When God does great things for them. Actually. God forbid, but I wouldn't be surprised if it means nothing to him and he just carries on, of course he's now saved. Copy on salvation. The first day and the first sentence, he said, you are being chosen to be a minister. To me, I don't know what else he should be. Doing other than. Becoming a minister. You should hear this story again and again and again and again and again, different the part one. And the part 2, the part one, and the part two, sometimes you tell only one side, another time you tell the other part, Yes. Aside you say what I saw it with my eyes and can't you see a lot of great means that I cannot take it and so they talk about one experience that they had. Is for their life. What else do you want to experience? Where upon who? I had this scripture from, Different. And he said, look, this was about 206 years after Paul had been saved. He was not in prison and no more going to travel. It's actually. It's only up to 28, is the end of Acts. And he was recounting the same vision. Yeah. He was many years after at the end of his life. And he was still repeating the same. It's okay. I think he was a baby why he also keeps repeating the same patients over and over again. And he was using that Paul used to repeat the same visions. Too heavy. Yeah, and he was going to see her. And then when he got to Rome after this, we don't hear of him again. Nobody knows how he died. The book of Acts as an incomplete, this one of the incomplete books in the Bible. Didn't end. I just stops. You don't just doesn't continue, doesn't end. Any commentary you made up about that book of us the described as the book that did not end. and those point and just abruptly those no conclusion or any sign of just Stop the narration in the middle. There's some four chapters, or some more chapters, that didn't get. I don't know where it's lost. No, I was not disobedient. and he came on and on, if this means anything to you, For the, how you? Set it to a very, very young. Jesus ministry was 30 to 33. Yeah, probably called. Probably. Probably more likely more likely expected expecting expected to expect that to be a powerful minister. I am almost 20 years older than you. when I'm no more preaching, or going to heaven, Your voice. Should be on and on. The study this cleaning, the people be listening to you. On the floor. Before it happened, I saw this creature. Everybody will be listening. In your ministry going on. So you're going to hear this one? prophets to working in Town Ministry, that amazingly It doesn't mean so much to a whole lot of people. One day, somebody told me he's in Jesus before, so I asked him explain how what you saw. Just cook me the detail. So he went through the details of what he said if this is changing me. Maybe I've seen Jesus before base or what you are saying. But then the Lord said to me and showed me that this guy takes the things very seriously. That's why he's a prophet. He takes his very you don't take it as serious. So, this is the big guy, this one. It looks like a glimpse. So he wasn't really a real Vision, you know, pasta. If something that maybe I was you That's a vision right there. What else you want to see? Me. Ask for me this story. I will say that when you hear say, Bishop has collected copyrights from me. Yeah. I wish you would be obedient. To the Heavenly, how many have had a vision from God before something? Somewhere. A vision God has spoken to you before. You've had a vision before. What vision is that in? Just a sentence. A kind of Evangelistic vision. I was working in the streets of molepolole and so that the trust that last appeared and they were so salvation in the cloud as I was reading them out. I saw myself working in suspension working in are yeah, in suspension and then I could see as I was working along the road main road, I could see what was inside the house that way and then literally, what is inside the finishings and everything else I was working the people inside and that's I was going. I was reading all the ways and people were like, my cousin was there could see her. She was, she was there weeping. As I was reading this with salvation to him as though I hearing and the clouds. so, let's just I was I was in Jamaica when he was for a camp. And the morning, we were leaving to go to the airport. I woke up early. And in the window learning like a small girl in the window and there was lightning in the window. I was awake. I wasn't asleep. Said in Patwa that I'll kill you before you leave. I just remember that you were saying the vision. And on the way to the airport, like a black bag. I don't know, it came from just came on the windscreen, I remember David had to swim because that was kind of of us and then the car behind using to the car in front of us and then I remembered in the morning. What the girl in the windows said, I'll kill you before you leave. So, when we are praying, Finding Devils finding things. From your chest. Pulls possessing our enemy from his seat. Contending with those who contend against us. It's not unreal. They don't like such prayers. They don't want us to pray. They want us to be quiet and just say blessed blessed. Amen, Who else? Thank you. I was in the UK. I usually intended for family members. So, one time. I was I had a vision I was here in Botswana in my grandfather's family. We are coming from, I'm coming from a very extended family. So when I arrived all of us are from there, yes, they are so many, so many, so many when I arrived into the yard. I saw a man, he was putting on his suit, he was so huge and the ad was not paved, and then he was having a Hoover, and then he was, who vary? And then immediately, I looked at him, I turned around and I said to my wife. That that man, he says, in fact, I was trying to look for the anointing oil. Then I remember that this is not my home, I need to negotiate with people and then I said that man. He says this home belongs to him. When I got at the back of the house, my cousins, my brothers, and he was so weak, they were so limping, I was having a mobile phone. They wanted to check if they are names were there. And then I said to my brother look, you know, your phone of my head and that he was very worried at the moment. And then the following day, I had a lot, said them that is the spiritual entity. You can see them weak not going anywhere wondering, why are they doing what they are doing? But that's the straw man of the house. That's the entity that is killing them generation after generation. Wow. Yeah. mine isn't really a vision like this but I was I was Pattern on it and I was trying to get through the night. I wasn't really used to own that in Nottingham, in my old church. And somebody told me that the best way to get one on. I just to listen to a message. So they just put a lot of random messages on my phone. So I press play. And then the message that it was seemed to play was missionary call. so I wasn't I wasn't very Serious question or anything. So I was praying, the whole just trying to prayer the back and listening to it and I didn't see anything. There was no voice or anything but I just felt very felt like the room was full. Or something. And I couldn't, I couldn't stay in the room anymore, so I had to go outside onto the street. I was just, I don't know how to explain I just and then from that day I didn't like anything else. Except Church never liked anything. I was just like in a moment and I didn't know much about what I mean Ministry. Just never liked anything else ever again. These visions. because you, like, What you are called to? That is why desire is used by God. He says God is healed that worketh in you to well and to do his good pleasure. Desire is used by God all the time, God use it to punish Eve. Is that your desire shall be for the man? Is your punishment? That is why men are the cause of the most tears. And pain in women. because, It is actually not. Anything, but a punishment. You long for it. When you have it. You are not so happy with it. Zimbio. Zimbabwe. Zurich. Yes, another vision. Rachel when I was in university of Ghana. Second semester first year. And those Crusade on campus Archbishop Duncan Williams. And so end up preaching. And he spoke about masturbation for vacation and all the sins that I identified with at a time. And made an altar call. Risen, those his fingers, you know, that were bent out. I was really scared and I ran him from was part of those who gave my life to Christ. But short, loved her, give him my left to cry. He used to stem buses on campus to action But nothing had changed or still masturbating for the kitchen. Heartfriends drinking. So a strong doubt Came Upon me. That's it isn't real. This salvation turn is not true because it hadn't really made in the difference in my life. And I joined, the guys to really Mock those who believed in something very silly. Like going to church wasting your time instead of studying and doing something more meaningful with your time. So getting to the latter part of I went to second year, he came in first year. And second year, First, and I started before we started writing our exams and preparation for medical school. and one day, I came back to the hostel, And I remember very clearly that I wasn't sleeping, I just sat on my bed. And leaned a little bits. And at the time, there was one question that always came to me. Where that is Jesus is real or not. And I was so fiction and second to believe in something. You know, I grew up in the north so I went, I was concerning the Muslims because they look more. Sort of like a devoted what they believed. I actually considered Islam, seriously, because I grew up in a knot, even jump from Volta region. Then also, I had a lot of friends who believed in Rastafarian so that influence also strong, and Reverend Patrick, and all my classmates knew that my dressing was changing my, you come to the room. I was in the room which Reverend Nelson. You see? Bob Marley's pictures. Everyone else was not happy about it, but he couldn't just get it over. So I was sort of torn apart. and I was on my bed, when It was like a flush. and I just saw, Like date. It was even in. By just like day. And I saw, A face smiling. And I didn't hear any voice. And somehow I need was Jesus. and by, I don't know how to explain it, but Immediately I saw the face. I, Could identify that this was Jesus. And I came Back again. but I did not tell. Understand it until I keep him to cover church and he took me to take off. and you preached about near that experience, then life started coming but still I did not understand it until recently when it began to work, here to me and the reason why It began to make a million. Was that on that same even. In and I slept later on and dreamed and there was a classmate called, Jasper. It was facing Mr. Second year. but I dreamed and saw this class called just bokuto who phone, me that he had just seen my name on the notice board and I've been part of those selected for medical school. And so many, many more we are not taking the first semester exams. But it happened that after we took the exams went, for the interviews. It was just saying just for who called me. That had been admitted to the medical school. So I was like, it cannot be coincidence and he started sort of like working on me. That's probably. And even now, this is now that is the first time that I've shared this somewhere because I've never felt confident about it, you know, but I feel very confident about it. Now, that's Saw a face. So it is so I couldn't see. It was so bright, very bright. Very loving and smiling. And I couldn't look at it. It was just I couldn't look at it. I couldn't look at the what I was saying. It was the face. Also, it look like the sun and the face smiling. Very difficult. And after that you changed, After that, I did not change immediately. My friends were still the same. I was going to church. But somehow I was amongst other time when we got to medical school, there was in a combination for many medical students. but somehow I was monks, one of the people who got rooms and they gave me the room of Revenue Nelson. And every morning. I came in the picture of Bob Marley. And music. Was the one who. I've brought me to Lighthouse and the evening, I actually changed was when Apostle Robert visited calibu. And preached. That evening, I gave my life to Jesus. And that even a reverend Ikea was David. I decided that I wanted to use my life in doing something for Jesus. Wow. Hallelujah. Thank you. Prophet Joachim. Who else has had a heavenly vision? This lady here. Two, three. Very short. Here in that two, three years back. I saw myself in a process brothel, where procedures work and I went there in on a mission, Christian to them, but some of them didn't want to listen but others were willing to listen, but there was some brothers, or some people who, like, where where the very people who had them into doing such. And the way to a hindrance for them to really hear what I was saying it happened, it happened that I went to preach last year, December and she'll go and surrendering areas, and then in Maui. So, I saw some young ladies along the road walking by the wisdom, brothers, or brothers, for just watching over them, what they do, and what notes? And then it look what my attention got me back to them through the water. So and then this very It came, it came the same thing can again to me and then And I gain it can for the third time, in an advanced way where I saw, even Christians, young young girls participating in it, in the sense that even the building where they were, it was Advanced, they were glasses over and married people coming. Even women, married, women married men coming out in and out, you know, just coming to buy and all that and all that, but then I was seated. I'm on them telling them and telling them and tell them but it was a cry in my heart that when I talked to the other youth to help me the way ignorance about all that, even the many years that Pericles were done, they just to to season the the the parents of the position. That's what I saw. And what does it mean to you? It means I should go out and do and do my work and and have you. Know, I haven't gone to the to the prostitutes to preach that I've been like every December. I've been since 09, I went all over. What did you have this vision? And the first time it happened about two, three years back. And then the second, we are not afraid to not go there, I'm Not Afraid. No, I said you are not afraid. To not. Be all these years. was and I afraid to You you have not yet, obeyed isn't it? Yes I was and I'm saying you are not afraid. I'm afraid you should be afraid. I'm really terrified. That's why I came here. I came here. I came. Here is a testament. I can't even tell her because I'm not gonna give him your own mind. This is a cry about that. I miss you. Like God, I want to come. If only I can hear the words on the men of God live or even if you can see him just a second person, then it will be the Breakthrough for my life. Yeah. Has anybody else had a vision? She very short, very short. basically what it is for me is an exciting, she forgotten my sales State because at a point I went crazy and All I could see was like when there's a shadow like right now, if you look outside, there's a shadow and there's light because there's light coming in from the window and there's Shadow from the obstruction. So when I was in the shadow it's not like people were Like and I don't know and I I want to be in the whole time like I want to stand on the front. So right now, all it is for me, is any Chief forgotten, my things, they thank you. Who else had a vision? Come to the fund. If you had a vision, Where upon O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient. to the heavenly vision is telling, King. That I did not disobey. The vision from heaven. so, this Step to the side. Who has the best Vision amongst all of you. The guy who sings Johnny? Yes. Um, Tell the people. Oh. About. Also probably, like two or three years ago. I was about to sleep back home in Swaziland, and I was as I was trying to sleep, I was finding it very hard to see. I felt like kind of disturbed, I am a person who loves sleeping, I can sleep anytime of the day. But that's changed. And as I was trying to sleep, I found and I felt like there was there was something in the room and at the same time as sharing my mom's voice, And while I was young, my mom's voice, I knew that there was something wrong and I had to pray for her. So I started praying for her and was at night. And then after that, I was able to sleep, no, just tell her the vision that, that, that's our seen. The thing that was in the room, it felt kind of heavy, and I was feeling disturbed. Bishop. and then, in the morning, my dad calls and told me that some guys were shooting at my mom around the same time. That I was praying for my mom and she wasn't home. So he saw, what you see something? I I fell out. Amen. Um, I was so desperate for marriage, even though I'm so yeah. Yes, so I met a man, it's a punishment. Yes. Um, he was a Prince Charming. He appeared to be everything that I wanted. So, everything was good between us. I went to my home Village in Medina. And when I was sleeping erased in the afternoon, I dreamed of a man of God TV Joshua from Nigeria. I think you all know him he was delivering me and yes he was delivering me. I held myself like this and then he said that is a sign of surrender to God and then he said my daughter. Have you find a man to marry you? Surprisingly, I said no. That I had found him but I told the man of God, no. And then he said my daughter, that's good. So when I woke up, I was troubled. I wondered why I said no and I wondered why he said that's good. So, I broke the relationship because the dream was probably me and guess what? I found out the men was not who he appeared to be. He was a woman bitter. He told me that she went to church but she only went to church once when his sister directed him. He was. He was going to stop us. I found out that this man was a drunkard, she would beat lady up and so they had scars. I found that the men were sleeping around and he had HIV. I wondered why God took me away at first. I was crying. I was wondering, I'll never get married. But it was. God rested to me. How can I say, thanks? Sir. How can you say thank? You member in Lighthouse. Thanks to. Customers and the wife, I have changed me to a better person and I'm giving my life. I wanted the first town Church Grosse. I'm going to be the Sunday school teacher. My sister's daughter. I'm Richard. I'm going to search it in every house of individ means, enticing them with sweets and we're going to make a big Sunday School. What a blessing. Thank you, my dear. And you. A man quick. It's got to be sure. I was sleeping, then when I was sleeping, I feel like I'm suspended. In the air. And Three men entered the house. Giant like giants. They look like a very dark but they were wearing clothes normal women beans, the entire house, they were outside. They were telling me, we want to enter the house. I told him you can't enter the house. Then it was like, it was, it was Wizards. Then I told him, you can enter, Then I was fighting with them that will not enter them. They just couldn't decide and as I was sleeping Bishops, message was playing, I I really play message what? I'm sleeping then. When I, when I when when those men entered, I was holding a whip to try to beat them to go outside. The whip got smaller that they even like they were overcoming me. Then all the overcoming me was crying. Then immediately, I woke up, I realized the message was was thrown and as the message was so on, Bishop was doing an article. And those men immediately, I woke up, they were needing down in when I was just opened my eyes, they were needing down. And then Philip I was singing. I surrender all then. That's Okay. I have a vision of hair, I dreamed. That I was going at Heaven. It's like I was going at heaven when I got there. I found a man, I found a man city in a chair. Holding a very big book, and there was people beside him, they were wearing white garments. And those people, he called his name. And those people, they were friends upwards, like the Restless. And we and I said to the man, where is my name now? Where can you call my name? He said, your name is not in the book. You have to You have to wait here because there is your master coming here and he went, which Master is this? The men, the men was holding the book and those people were wearing white garments. They went away, the devil came down from the earth, he was black with horns, lawn chairs, you know, he was staring and he was killing alone. Looking for, he wanted to pick us with the big crate. There were so many people and the voice Came From Heaven. Say you know what, the devil is even raping people. Nowadays are going to suffer and I that's, Hallelujah. A mine was that I was leading a group of people, males, females and children. We are moving our defending them. I was their leader. I had a big sword, the one that the soldiers have so I had to protect them from Village to Village to find Refuge. So our any, if anybody that was coming our way, I slew them. I was killing like Madness to protect the group that is coming behind me. Until we went to the last. The fourth Village that we went to, that's where we found refresh. And after that, that's when I started peas in my, in my, in my heart, after that, I saw that, this is Victory. We are victorious at the end. all of you next time, you have the chance to Share. Amen. Tell somebody I am going to be obedient so the heavenly vision. Yeah. Now, the fact that you can be obedient means you can be disobedient. Unfortunately, many people are disobedient to the heavenly vision, and you would think if you had a vision, you would be very serious. But many people. Have these visions and it's nothing to them. Nothing at all. so, all of us pastors, Whatever God speaks to you in your heart about do it, don't be disobedient. That's the way to say, thank you. Yeah, that's the way to say thank you. One day. I met a sister. and this is the had lost the opportunity. To get married. I cannot give the details. For security reasons. Okay. but, when I looked at her, I felt. Very sorry. I felt very sorry. For her. And I was moved with compassion. and I decided, To help her. To get married. Is he our sister? That was saying. She was afraid. She was not going to get married. He's a very common. Fear. And there are three point five. Billion women. And 4.5. Billion, four, three, five billion men and 4.5. Being a women. So we are, we have fewer. Brothers. Which Moses? Know, working for us. so, Excited. To help her. So, one day I said, come with me. And I spoke to her. She had done. certain things, that's Put her in difficulty, why she should not mind but I felt my heart that I should. So I said, I'm going to help you to get married because a pastor can help the state members to get married. Oh yeah. And if ever your pastor, Helps you to get married. Listen to what I'm saying. Yeah. These are your pastor helps you. I told her listen. I'm going to. Give you a good. Husband. Yeah. But I need you to be obedient. Do you see? so what I'm going to tell you, Yeah. Will you? I asked her, will you? Will you? and, She knew she was she has situation was hopeless. You know, there are levels of situations. And has a situation was hopeless. Yeah, really hopeless. And I said, I will help you. So, I did. And she got married and married, she's married. Today. And I was only. I was only looking. For one thing. Whether? She would be obedient. And I told I said, look, you know, I shouldn't have recommended you. Because there are other people who I should have. Yeah, yes. I will show that. I said, this is wrong with you and I was help you to correct it. Since he got married, have only been looking for one thing. Whether she has been obedient, like, how can I say, thanks? How can I say, thanks? But I might you take it. Oh yeah, I'm the type that gets married. Nothing nothing. I keep on looking for that, and To my joy. She has made me proud. I feel like helping other people because you helped and then yeah. They were half such a bad experience. And they will say it's only because Bishop told me to marry you that I married you. Otherwise I wouldn't have married you and it becoming a problem. Would you like for somebody? Says only, because Bishop told me that I don't like you. You see when you have been given a great blessing, your duty is obedience. Now that you've come to Christ, your duty is obedience to the heavenly vision. Of salvation of your calling of what, ever, you feel God and you see that Visions, we have audio visionz and video visions. And sometimes we have we have a tactile Vision tactile videos has to do with feeling. Yeah. So you see among these I had this I felt this I changed and I was changed. And some of the beaches is audio by the supernatural. Spiritual so, I want you to have the mind that And he said we can see it even from now little that God has shown you some small kindness. Now, all of you, a lot of you are saved, a lot of you are going to get married. Oh yes. Wait, there are going to be, there are going to be weddings. There must be weddings. There must be one. So liano, if you get married, will you be obedient? To the heavenly vision. How can I say, thanks? But I remember another sister, in that case, there were at least 24 other sisters. With the brother. We went through the whole list of 24 sisters. and he said, what we decide for? I went through. What about this? These are the pros and the cons. Number one number two, this is that number three, we went through and I said, okay, what about this one? And in the end choose that one, so I said, We are going to. Work on this. later on, when all was Said and done and she was now with the ring. On the finger and the name and the picture. I saw the brother in pain so that I in pain and he was Struggling to experience happiness from this sister, but it's not. It is more common for them to be disobedient. I remember another sister. She was not a virgin, but the brother was a Virginian mistake. Yeah, it's not steamed that place before the Brotherhood and I will my when she got married. The aerobics and acrobatics with different types of boys. She used to do. She retired one day I called I said, listen, Everybody has a ring. And now, the boys put a ring on the finger. On your finger. You don't want to do what you have to do. Now aging premature retirement without pay you at the age of 32. Your marital pension. Wow. High mileage and fear. Is a genetic association with both zero, mileage value with rappers on and look at how you are treated him and do you jumping all of that place? Like a frog. Now, you can't jump. You say, you are tired. People don't know how to say, thank you. When you do them a great favor. one of the only things you can do that's why that sister She makes me happy. When her husband tells me. What I'm experiencing. Some. Experience. What a person Pleasures forevermore Jesus. Are you people grateful for me? That is why I'm having a camp with you because I'm grateful God has given me the ability to teach a man, not going to use it. Yes. Ability to teach his Supernatural thing and you seen it every week. I said, why should I do it every week? And I the things I have to say I never finishing. You would have thought. I need to finish by now. Finishing, yeah. Yeah, when I can say thank you to the Lord.

Who who want to say thanks. so, When God blesses you with husband, you show them that you are from Botswana. Awful girls. Wow, by being obedient to the heavenly vision. Whatever God has said to you obey, you've dropped it when you drop dead. The devil will have a party. Rejoicing. This guy is quiet when my father died. What I notice about him when he was that was I wasn't talking. That's the path is like, he doesn't say anything anymore. That's what that is. What death? Is. He's like you don't talk in the devil. Doesn't like your talking. The devil doesn't like me to talk to you because I'm talking to. You are changing every minute. You spend there. You are changing. Something about you, is changing. You are being changing to you. He gets his life to Christ. Isn't it? As a crusade? Yeah. Where to go for the first time in my life, you had me pushing about what about delicious life How about the Lazarus and the rich man? For the first time in my life, I could hear preaching and understand. I don't understand anybody preaching. Before at all. I hear preaching that what's happening? I cannot you cannot cannot enter my mind. Nothing clicks, the very first time. What caused my attention was, who is this white man who has come here to come and preach on campus? What do you see that the back and where the back I was passing, you are standing. Yes, I was passing through the legon hall to match the apartment, a pass through the philosophy Department, that could be like, then I saw you preaching, they going oh between us and you didn't even sit down. So I still have In the chapel and library and listening. Then for the first time here and I sat by the flower pots and was listening, he give you life to Christ as we are preached now, I couldn't wait for the time. We would invite me to come. Oh, the first person not to the front, A. Nice, big time. That's why he's here. He's saying thank you, it's not looking for anything. If he was looking for money, I will show you the way for money. Look, if you go to America, if you do this exam, us MLA exam, okay? Yeah, you start your salary from 150,000 US dollars a year. Yeah, 150,000 US dollars a year. That's where you start and you guys about over 10 to 12,000 a month. 10, it goes up up and up. At that point, you'll be making 500,000 a year. And another point, when you press that she can't make up to 2 million US dollars a year as a doctor I want to show you how to make not impossible one. What currency do you have here? Somebody's passing by like job, like joke. What is this? What is the exchange rate one Pula is how many one to eight? One dollars eight bullets. Gonna see. This is not bad. One is to four. We have good at climbing. That's very fast. We are chasing. You are eight. We want to be 10. Are you still around? That's why I'm here. That's why I'm preaching. Thank you. Saving me. In, you know, that he's my cousin. Yeah. He doesn't believe in God, he doesn't go to church. Yeah, he looks like me. He's a cousin. He also has my name. He what males. There's nothing about church. His father is also a ghanian he wants and his mother is from outside corner. Just like me. There's nothing God. no, milk of God. Or anything like that. Yeah, just like, oh yeah. Yeah, guys are doing great job in time. That's all nothing. Not a joke. Look at me, I can imagine how that, so, the Bankers. And I'm not believing for anybody here. Who thinks I'm saying it to my please leave. Now, I need you to leave the country. This is not for you. Yes, you have a 30 minute sermon and you can go home. Yeah. Driven by yes. Here I am. Saying thank you by being as obedience. When God told me write a book. I said me that. Write a book. So when I wrote my first book, There Were Ten Little books. Look. I didn't have many. Words. For the books. So, I told the person who was working with a book, increase the size, Of the funds and then that was when I didn't learn the word funds. I said, can't you make it bigger so that people will see the font size. Can you make it bigger? He made it bigger. I said he's still hasn't got enough pages. Increase the space between the space and I said, increase the paragraphs. And I wrote ten little books and I went to America put them. yeah, when I came in and launched it, Just because God has said that I was ashamed. I was so ashamed that a professor came. He was involved with the launch. Any help who said you deserve a degree from that said, oh prop please. I was so achieved of these books. so I shape of these books I was not disobedient though to the heavenly vision to write a book. Then I started to write a book about loyalty. Of my table. My house. Working on that book. For one second, I think. That I'll have to go to Russia. Or to go to Venezuela or go to Brazil to France. He's translated. Why would anybody? Want to read my book in a language. But I was not a disappeared, even though I was ashamed. You see, even though you are ashamed of your small calling just do it. So you don't know what it means. God said and if you go back to verse 17 is he said I will show you what you must experience. Go back to 17. And verse 16. 16. Rise. Have appeared to the. All right, to make you a minister. And I go to verse 18. To Open the Eyes. Isn't it to tend them. Verse 19. Okay. but, You'll see at the point. He says, I think he's the best before but he says that she must suffer what you must go through. So it's like Google go to the 50, it's worth looking my 15. That's 16. All right. Okay. He says it in the actual one in Acts 9. Yeah, but he says, I'll show you what you must go through. What she was. So God doesn't show you everything in one. In one day. And show you in phases. So if you are not obedient you miss out a lot of things. So if God says, go go, go, go, just go. some of you God is going to say to You come to Ghana for training. Yeah. And why, why was there? No? Why was why would Lionel and other people come to Canada to medical school? Because but swan has a good government and trying to train and invest in the people. So that they go and they come back. As completely trashy went to Ghana as a ignorance and came back as a doctor. Is he so that's why we travel so that you have to go by the time you come back, you come back as anointed seventh, no death. So I'll be expecting some of you. Some of you, God will tell you, go there, just go, just go for the living, the sake of traveling abroad. Yeah. Come come more. But Swan now and not too small for you. To Asia to Asia when Phil the churches there wet them. Nice. How can I Give my life to Jesus. How old were you? I was 17 years. 17 years old. when you found Jesus for what the fans, Before and now you are married. You have a wife. Beautiful wife. Who's salvation? For the blessing all like you know, humility has three things in it. It has love, if you love me, you'll obey me. It has faith. That you believe when I say the best thing for you to do is to run through this door, you believe it. That's why you obey it. If you don't believe it, you say no that's the best all I said, no, this is the person said no. So this is the way. so, when you believe you obey, And the third thing that him obedience has his humility. It's like when I say, go this way, he's like, oh okay, I'm not even bother to think about. You are greater than me. The what you say must be wiser. So what you are saying? I'm going to try and just do it because you must be more clever or older or greater, or wise. Sir, I'm smaller than you. You are greater than me and I'm smaller than you. So I'm good. I'm good. You know what? I don't know. So it makes you you are like sort of accept a lower position. So what it is is that many people don't accept that they are in a lower position. They see that. So we are equals, we are equals. We have to equal. So humility, love and faith. Are the ingredients of obedience. Humility. Love. Faith. People who are being humble. They have love, they love you and they have the bleeding. That's why, obedience is a great thing. Where unto? I was not disobedient. People, the few people who obey him when he saves them. Also, happy for the few people that I recommend, and they do what? I say like like this sister. I feel like more recommended. Oh, I'm so glad that you are just fulfilling his Heavenly. He comes so happy. He finally go and do something for this guy. so those of you who are going to be getting married soon, Powers. And the grace of God. May you be obedient to all forms of counseling, Pastor Patrick. Using they will be obedience to be obedient very obedient. Wow, number two, Second way to show. How can I say, thanks? How can I say? Thanks. By continuing and relentlessly. In your call. Continuous steadfastly. Look at verse 22 continues. That fastly. He says have been there for obtained. Help from God. Continue unto this day. I continue until this day that I'm standing in front of you King Akita. That is how to say, thank you. Continue unto this day. That is two chapters to the end of my life. I'm in chapter 26.

Drunken difficulties, smoking difficulties, stealing difficulties bad behavior, family problems, financial difficulties, Having therefore obtained. The help of God I continue unto this day. That's why I'm continuing. I was 25 years old, when I became a pastor. I started preaching. I'm now over 50. And continuing, I've been having comes like this. You can ask them. Where is kweku? Used to be in London. He used to be in London. Huh. Is it not true? Where were you working at? I was working at racing, Royal Automobile Club. I said, what I am?

As always this, the same Temple. Here. I continue after having obtained, the help of God, I continue until this very day. You see me standing here? And explaining to you. How is it when you say a bright light? A voice God, how many years have prayed in my room wishing for a light? To appear a voice to speak. None of this is, you have had a voice. You have seen a light. What are you going to do? That's why I put this cleaning. Hey, I continue unto this thing. That's the second way. Never stop. Some of you are young. Where's my little girl? Who sings beautifully? Take your microphone. How old are you? My dear 21st stand up here. Sing it to God. Be the glory. He was singing to yesterday. The glory. No, not don't do this to like real. She should say I continue until this day since the first time I signed that song before today. Today, that is how to say, thanks. The third way to say thank is to witness both to small and great people. Yeah. Witnessing. To both small and great. Witnessing relentlessly to the small and to the grace. Amen. Witnessing relentlessly. Look anybody. Who changes the original work of a Christian of witnessing and belittles it. God will belittle you. One day, I told a guy, a Christian guy that I'm going witnessing. He lasted me. He laughed me to scorn, I should say. Yeah, he said look, we have honest house to house. What is done to the? We have passed that stage. He said now we are doing campaigns. And things. You've moved on. From witnessing. To the small and to the Great. Personality talking to people and telling them about Jesus. you know, this testimony of your pastor, When he gave his life to crack, it's one of the greatest Inspirations for me to do, Crusades is actually on campus. I when I think of him I said, let me quick let me do another one day. He may be a missionary to Cairo. Witnessing. We must witness to everyone, we meet with. Every song we say, we must tell them the sooner, we must witness to everyone. We meet in every song we see, we must tell the world of the soon and coming, we must, we must The guy who said, witnessing is not. Seen somebody's big who became nothing. In a sentence. Before he died. He's dead now. Oh no. I posted I contacted today. And that's why he was talking to King Agrippa up to today. I Witness. One day I was at a funeral not too long ago. It was a funeral of a very important person. In the country. And as I was standing there another long time. A lot of rituals and ceremonies. I was just looking around and I saw different important people. And my eyes settled on somebody. Somebody who has been ahead of State. And as I look, I felt compassion in my heart. It's a comp. She should. Today, I feel compassionate. And I said, I have to talk to this man about Christ. And I I went, I found him and I went to him and I let him to Christ. I couldn't even believe myself. when I say after me, say after me, dear father. Forgive me, I say hey I was a. Do I know the person who is who I'm leading to stay such a prayer. But I was in his house only for his soul. So today, one day I was in a Millionaire's house. So I quoted because of him, my memorized, the whole of Lazarus and the Rich Man story. Yeah. from beginning to accept, I will See what I would think the host. And I remember I visited, I saw a rich man sitting in the house waiting for somebody. This man was sick. Very posh. Everything was I have no time to open the Bible. Less, I may be dismissed. Time. I was in another country in the house of a millionaire. And I told him say you have proved the Bible. How hardly shall I rich, man, go to heaven. He was taking over. He was short. I said, yeah, you have proved the Bible. I continue up to this day, witnessing to the Great and the small If I sit by you on a plane. It's most likely that our witness to you. If I don't witness you, I'll pray for you. Yeah, sometimes I have not witnessed the people I start to Interstate for as a father. The man sitting on number 17, k. I I lift up a prayer for him. Abusive about his soul. If I don't witness to you, I'll pray for you. Yeah, you want to belittle the honest. Of witnessing. The great work of leading people, one by one to God. God will be little you. Will be nothing. I've continuing after this day. How many? Do you? Have three. Four. You must. Show. Thanksgiving. By. Accepting to relentlessly preach about the cross. And the sufferings of Christ. Without changing the message. Into a message of physics or chemistry or biology. Paul said. Having therefore obtained help from God. Continued until this day. Witnessing to both small and great. so, the first one he will obediently To the heavenly vision. The second one, he continued that same obedience actor that time the third one. He continued. He, he was witnessing to small and great. and then number four, he said preaching preaching about the sufferings the cross of Jesus Christ is the saying none other things than those with the prophet and Moses did say should come and that's 23. That Christ should suffer. And that he should be the first and he should rise from the dead and show light unto the people and unto the Gentiles. You see? The gospel is one. Is the cross of Jesus Christ, that Christ should suffer should rise from the dead. She showed light It will never change into a message of prosperity. Never. never no matter how much we need money in the church, need to build a church. That change into message of prosperity. Cannot change. That Christ should. Just what I preach about Christ. Suffering on the cross. That you should. He should be the first that should rise from the dead. That means we are second and third. As you sow light unto the people. Preaching about the suffering of Christ and the cross of Jesus Christ, is one of the ways that which you show gratefulness to the cross. And to this bright like that has been shown upon your life. Don't be deceived by all the hype. And the deception that is going on. as in the name of prosperity with a purpose, it's like we are prospering for a purpose. We need to be in the marketplace. Said, you need to be in the marketplace. What? We get all these ideas from which Marketplace do we need to be? We need to be on the field Harvest field. This is a look at the fields that are right. It is go to the marketplace or the business center, or Central, business district to go and be among them as richness so that we join and merge with them. And then influence them. There, there are fields of habits how to see us as a field. All these fantastic ideas have brought about diversion from the main road and that diversity is big enough to derail the whole church. Look. When you're on a plane, how many have been into the cockpit of a plane before? One. Only one. So we are two. That's the two of us. Three. Yeah. When you are in a plain, one of the things, the three things they will show you the speed. Your height. Your height and your heading. Your heading or your direction where the plane is headed to and the heading is a number up to 360. So you put it on a plane like that so you tell the school? I've been on the baby before the panel said the palace demonstrated to me. So it's a right now. We are heading to 295 and that's the wrong. That's where the wrong way is. It to 95. This 295 is the place that is from here. 0 up to 360 like this. So 295 when you change it from 87 to 88, He's like if it's here zero and it goes this is 90. And this one 80. So if we go to 90, And you change it to 92 small like this. Initially come out. Two of us will do even I can get two people. Yeah, maybe two of you. You are going to go, this is 90, turn on. This is 90 count this way and You are going on 92. You see? So 90 straight like this. And 92 is just close to it. Keep going, just like me. You're too even too fast. You are going up. 100. Come Fly. You you not 90 is going to bring you here. Thank you, bring you here and 92. Don't to bring you here. Somewhere here. To keep coming. So for some time, it looks like the same message. you are crushed because you crash into the the 92 was taking it to crash with this guy and 90 was taking you straight to Salvation to the music, play the music of Heaven for him. Yo, he's going to heaven, he's got the music. This Guys, got an accident with the camera. There's a video. Yeah, two different things. Two different, and 90 and 92. Heading. How do you get here? You change. You change by two degrees. It wasn't a big. It was just like that. We thought it was the same. That was like, oh it's about 90s 92 912, just a little. This are the three things if you want to fly a plane, the height, the speed. You can't go beyond the setting if you understand the plane will break up. The plane will just. Go below a certain height because at you, you crush it in Towers. And you come to setting planes which are flying way below. So many things. So he's very important. And then the heading, Where come and do it again? Come back, come back and start from here. This is the beginning of your Christian Life. That's why Paul said, go back to verse 22 having obtained. The help of God Having obtained. The I continued this day. Let us continue up to the end. When we talk about suffering losing sacrificing dying, let us continue up to the end. Preaching. The right thing and doing what is, right? and, 90 ends here. You can't even see both of them are television Ministries. Wow, difference. One is stuck. Just before And you say the marketplace it sounds like the field by see what. Actually the marketplace is is like become an executive and a bank owner, and a bank, top manager and be like, we all fellow managers and I'm a Believer and you are not influencing the marketplace. Really what he's talking about. Jesus called, it feels. And to have this and they call it Prosperity with a purpose. For a long time, it looks the same unless you have descendant, you will not know, but the heading is slightly different and it big enough to make a big difference at the end. Now that is how come the church is powerful. Powerless. If you believe what I'm saying and we continue. You see, you grow up. You'll be brought one with your boss. Wanna see that? I find you see you in Congo. Now, you are going to come and preach for us anymore and what America's got in America. Can move out of the only picture on television now, they can't go anywhere to do anything. Yes, their fate of he Bola, fate of this prophet of different, everything of it. If you sit down, you say, you know, you living in fear and you have to believe in losing something for God. So what you have to lose your fornication and your not, some of you have five boyfriends, at the same time, you have to stop it. You can't have four boyfriends at the same time, saving boyfriends at the same time. Different pastors serving girlfriends a girlfriend. You lose something. You Dice to something you sacrifice something. but at the end of it all, The grace of God will be on your life. What a blessing. Somebody says about, you can be in America and 2 million dollars. I said to your 2 billion dollars. Where will I be the 28th? What do I use it for? I can only buy one television, a city one chair. What with one remote? And what else can I do? How many chickens can I eat? So, I thank you. I can learn to be a dollars a year. I don't want to know that I don't. Heading. Tell somebody heading to that. How to fly a plane. So, never, what three things you need to fly a plane. Number one is what height, number two, heading down. Yeah, we all becoming Pilots. Lay Pilots. Wow. That's what Paul said. I continue unto this day and to this day witnessing to both small and great. Wow. Is a fantastic amazing. Is this Supernatural and unbelievable. Wow. What time is your lunch? Is it now? We must know how to sing the song, Take the microphone, spreading the word of God everywhere. And we must reach. In place. Is it amazing? Now, how can you say thanks to the Lord? The next way, you can say, thanks to the Lord that you can. Serve God in such a way that people think you are mad. Said God in such a way that people think you are, man. Do you know what I said? Now, let's go back to verse 21. 21. For this, no. Where were you doing? Where were we before? We before what was best? The 23. Yeah. Okay, that's 22 verse 22. Verse 20, having therefore obtained. The help of God I continue unto this. Witnessing to both small and great people. They want to have a Ministry, great people. God has forgiven you. Saying none other things than those, which the prophets. And Moses did say. Come. Verse 23. Christ should End that he should be the first that will rise from the dead. And she so light and to the people. And to the Gentiles. That's 24. As he was not speaking. For himself. First. So sad with A lot. Myself. here, you Was not in this body where they think you are mad. If you say gaze, not normal to think you are not in Europe, when you believe in God, they think you are mad. When you go to church, they think you are mad. When go to church every day, they think you are, not when you think you are, what are you screaming? What are you A radiologist. One day. Somebody met him. Instead. Are you also following turkey what males? I had a lot of respect for you till I have that. We are following turkey. What? A lot of respect for you. See a standard. Fantastic response is the fantastic. is to say, With family. You need some treatments psychological treatment and we are fighting around Goods. They think we are not. For you count down. When I'm fighting Devils fighting oranges, I should come down, I'm fighting Spies Sam decided because I've gone as a missionary beside that because I'm going to God, I say I'm beside myself. When you are going to strange cities, there's nobody following people. Nobody told me he was not disobedient to the heavenly. Vision you start out. What is it? Look, every insult. You receive is part of your promotion. Everything you have never been told you are, man. You are missing something. Your ministry is lacking you. Come the time, the great apostle that is mad that you will say. We like you you are the type of Christian that we like as the nearest dignified to see. There are some dignity He's meditating. Hey, is he part of us? Wow. First started with a lot of power. Stop it. Preaching, the gospel of the suffering. You say you're going, man. Hey. Are you listening to me? Amen. Wow. We must witness. We must do the work right to the time that somebody says what, what's the word? Congratulate your neighbor and say neighbor. And wow, I don't mind if they say what everyone for Jesus. Amen. With 25, that's 25. that's 25 and Paul said, That he said, I am not. Mad. Most noble Festus. I am not mad. You. Speak for the words of truth and soberness. There's nothing mad about us. Hallelujah. Wow, I am not. Tell your neighbor. I am not mad. Whats 101. I could say, Nui Akita, Nui. Now. Number six. You can say, thanks. By strongly resisting and rejecting the world's opinion. Absolutely, and strongly reject the opinion of the world. About you about church about your God and about everything that has to do with you. Strongly reject and move with people who reject that idea. Because if you move along with people who think you are mad before you realize, you start changing a lot of things. Because each thing that you do, you get what I'm saying? It's always like you are mad. It's like there's something wrong with you, but the people that I move with, we don't think we are mad. We feel very normal I think anyone I could say we could tell me. I keep. That thing. And now not move with you. today, me and you is finished me and you finish me and you finish, you say, My. Yeah. A kitchen. I keep saying, Hey. They say I might go to the church, I said that I'm going to say that I'm mad. Joking. I reject that way nonsense. Not mention that way when my father's name comes or the chat. Never let me just touch away from you again. When I was sleeping with every You didn't say that I was mine serving, penises comment about that one. That's why you said. He said, I was mad do this. I was killing myself. This was a full. When I continue witnessing to the small and to the great WWE say you say, what is too long for me, guitar guitar? There's some diplomatic ambassadors at the back. I guess I'm better than this is executives. as much people when we are championing, you look at us I want to find the ambassadors were sleeping with you. At the same time you didn't see there was something wrong with that. You don't tell me that I'm not today. HIV you are putting your penis in. You don't call as much that one you don't say is mine nonsense. With man. And Paul said, I am not mad. I am not mad. You are the one who is smart. I am not man nonsense before God doesn't matter things before. Wow, this one rather is the one that is not mad. That might be mad before. Now we are not much now, you have no man. Now you found God. Now Christ has cleaned you and you want to rather super impose Madness on me. Why did you? To the gray. When you are getting drunk and high? And drunk and becoming a full. Yeah, I'm going after missionary. Years. Old one, sister. We as a, how many boys have you said? He said, pastor, we don't count it. It's like the stars in the sky, reject. That's why you have to know who you move with. When you stay with them, you always fill up and it is not easy to fill out for a long time. If you are a virgin today to say, Virgin Mary. Today. Create your own environment. That's why I don't have come to everywhere. I could smell you people from Ghana. Too much. My God. It's fantastic. Just be with people who have the same kind of faith and the same kind of love and the same kind of humility, then you will never look strange. Otherwise all your life, somebody will be saying you are mad and you hear you. Just have to. Separate yourself. That's why when God was calling a balance, but come out. Hallelujah, you too old for this way. See. That for all others to know, God. To have known him. Say, thank you to God. Barely a strong desire. Okay. because even though we have known God, people don't have a strong desire for others to also know God like, Waste, you don't want others to know what, you know. You don't really mind if you don't know, they can go to hell, you thank God, you know. Yeah. So say thank you to God by having a strong desire for others to know God and be blessed the way you have been blessed. So for me to be saved, I'm so happy that today, I can see people in Botswana saved. Zimbabwe saved South Africa. Say Namibia say Zambia. Hey, India says Portugal say just 26. 36. Now, he had a different response from King Agrippa. Very first 25. I am not mad. All right, but speak for the words. Of Truth. Amen. All right. Where are we? Yeah. 25 that's 26. For the king. before my Husband really for I am persuaded that. None of these things are heading from him. For this thing was not done in a corner. 28. 27 King. Prophets. Learn to preach directly. The important question. To ask the third question. Go straight. King of river. Do you believe the prophets? I know that thou believers. Then a grandpa said unto Paul. Almost.

So common, that is actually converting somebody. Yes, we are jumping here. You think we are mad. Some people are becoming apostles who some people are becoming prophets, it's happening.

Oh, I don't want you to be a prisoner like I have but I wish that. Would be just as I am. You see most people don't care if you are not just like me. Like I have found Christ. You know, I'm a Christian, I have a Christian home and all that people don't care. If the other person doesn't have it, it's not my fault. I'm not God, I didn't create you. I don't know how You are having I didn't cause it it's not my fault. I cannot God. I'm not the savior of the world. I cannot change the whole world.

Number eight. Wow. First Corinthians. I think that how can I say things for all the things? That you have done for me. so on, these are yet to prove your and the voices. Corinthians chapter 15. Moreover brethren. This one. Clear unto you, the gospel, which I preached unto you, which you have also received and wearing you stand. By which also you are saved. In memory, what I preached unto you. unless of course you believed in vain, For, I delivered unto you. first of all, That which I also received. How that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures. And that he was buried and rose. Again, the third day. According to the scriptures and that he was seen of cephas. And of the 12. And I thought he was seen for by about 500 Brothers. At once, all 500 saw him at the same time. Yeah, that's a fantastic vision. Of whom the greater part of this 500 remain unto this present time. For some are falling asleep. Anyway, He was seen of. Is Jesus was seen by all these people. Before he finally. Stopped appearing. And then he was seen of all their apostles. and last of all, he was seen of me also. as of one born out of due time, like somebody who have been born at 9 months that you were born 10 months, or Maybe you were born. At seven months instead of a nine months. You get it. That's not. The least of the Apostles. That I'm not. Me called an apostle. because, I persecuted the church. You know, he is the summary. This is a summary And he was saying, I punished them. I compelled them to blaspheme and a castle them to blaspheme. I taste them to train cities. It is when he was preaching to King Arthur that he gave the details. That's not how you think you've listened to preacher, but when he hear another one, you realize a wow, I'm understanding this story better. Yeah. I will read the Corinthians one is a summary in the later. We speak to King Agrippa You get it. then he said, but by the grace of God. I am what I am. And his grace. Which was bestowed upon me. Was not in vain. That I live. That more abundantly Than they all. Get not. I The grace of God which was with me. Amen. What a powerful? Analysis. Of his response. Huh. Say, thank you to God.

You will regret helping. There will always be people, you regret. Showing kindness to. but, Make sure you are not one of the people. Whom somebody regrets about. Showing kindness to one day. Because if you are like that, what will be said about you Is that the grace? Of God that will soon to you was in vain. It was like he was so useless but swinging and Send that. I mean mistakenly God stable, when others should have had the Crusade, another town. He said that the church in another town, not where you are, that you have come to waste the grace of God. Wow. Pairs, we should have gone somewhere else. Look at, look at you in Lighthouse today. Like every church is different. We are not the best Church. But we have something that we emphasize. That make the check what it is. Of God to find yourself in such a church and even be happy like you are here from the morning to the evening. You know, one day, I told the man of God, a great man of God, and I told him that, oh, I'm having a committee and I'll be preaching in it from the morning. They look at me said, Probably. If you check the front for you see, professionals people vent to school, people have jobs, education opportunities. And some of their idiots. His grace being there. Should his grace in pain.

Up until the time of your end. Until two chapters before your end. You must witness before, Great and Small. You must continue to preach and teach about the central theme of the cross. And the suffering of Christ must be important. You must not allow people. You must work for God to the point where people think you are mad. You must not allow people to think to, to tell you that they are not accept the opinion. Of. Men of Dark Minds. Don't accept their opinion in your life that you are not. Get it. And then, you must desire for all people. What you have had. That I wish you were as I am. That is what? Paul said, except the change. I wish you were as I am. Then. You must. Not let the grace of God. Being so he must look at all the Grace's. Faces. It's a Grace. One day a lady. Was working as a prostitute. In a brothel. and, A young man came. To have. Her. He paid. Downstairs, and came upstairs to the room. so, when he came upstairs, And he went in to have his portion. The girls started giggling. And so often laughing at him. Don't know what exactly she was laughing at but she laughed at him. so, when she laughed and giggled, The boy. Was very, very offended. And hats by what happened? so he took at night, Just understand and it's okay. Oh, I believe. and started to beat the girl. He? he's crushed her face with the blade. Yeah. And cut it like this, like this, like this. So after The guy was given. Was arrested, whatever was giving a punishment. For that, it was just pay something. But a girl. Right. And have fellow prostitutes. Decided to go and get a higher assassin. To to kill that boy. Do you know the reason why? the reason is because he said that her face, You see? It's what she uses to work. Janice, it's like When they come, they are all there and nobody chooses her because she is ugly and Scott. On her face. So it's like what they said was that even the find that the police gave to the guy It was not enough to pay for what has happened. Because her whole face was scarred. I understand what I said that's why I was asking. What are you going to do with your beautiful face? But the face you have is a gift from God. You'll be surprised if it was all scarred up. Even just a little scratch on your face, like that will change you. Just a little you see that your whole face is different. And you may not easily get somebody to marry you. I remember his sister who had a town her face. I have to pray as a prayer before she got her husband. Yeah. Because the other counting things. Face. I'm pretty. From God. God gave you that pretty face. Is by God's grace. Some people faces are not. So, as pretty as yours, like, some people say, I beat the long gated, Bit O'Brien sum up triangular somehow against hexagonal. And look at just looks perfect. Wow. She is crazy. So, I love you the power of the face. But the face of a girl is a very important thing. And you think it for granted but it's actually God's grace. And that face is what he be using to get you lost, boys. Talk of who, you know, their name, some you don't even know their names. Sleep with so many people. And now that you are saved. You not use your face. To talk to somebody be listening to your gospel. As you are freaking because of your face. And be listening to you. And he said, oh, I want you and said come with me. And he said of taking her into a room, you bring him to church. Wow. Very your face is the same that is used to get a husband or a routine or a pastor. My and when you get it through that same Grace. What do you do with him? Wickedness. So in every area in every field, don't let the grace of God. Be like something that God wasted on you. Like I should have given this pretty face to stand by the house. Some people, I tell you when they look in the mirror, they look what I look like a man. Should his grace being? There. No, not in the energy, Jesus name. and the last point is that, and I lived that Wack wack. 18. to serve the Lord, it is a great and to serve the Slowly tell, somebody it is a great thing to serve the Lord. Hallelujah. And It is a great thing, it's a great day. He's a seven guy. Fifi. What was your life like when you were in the world? Tell the people. Well. and he said by the grace of God, sorry, but I I had I had some girls in my life. yeah, I mean About. About 10 girls. I broke her heart once and I remember she even came to church and Bishop Richard from the church. but I mean I've done seriously drinking I never smoked And visual also realized something, at some point, you know? And my brother, my senior brother and you used to I mean, give me his car and money and stuff like that to go bring girls to the house. I think initially I was not so much into that. But he saw that and he used to face me on that all the time. I mean take money take a cargo and I will not go, you know? So it was like I was pretending to be a good boy. I think that's what I was doing but on the side I was masturbating seriously. You know. Yeah. So even though I was portraying this on the outside, I mean inside of me, that's what I was doing. you know, and so I think maybe that's why I didn't go so much into. I mean, the girls issue even though he said, And then drinking. Well, some drinking, I think, I think that drinking to adding so much going to drinking because of headaches. The second is below average. This. so, which was thinking let us be you very, very glad very, very glad so I think I was telling you that when my big brother hit that I was becoming a pastor I mean he was very surprised and he asked the question he sent a message to me so we are not like that. I mean the Pioneers we are not like that. That's your family. That's the family. We are not into all this pastoring and it might take to start to the same recently.
