01. Keys To Coming Out Of Obscurity 1

Welcome to track number one of coming out of obscurity. I want to give you some keys also, as well as it's a, it's a holiday camp, you get it. There's not there. I have so many things that I mean, if we have to go on and no, no, I have warfare keys, income keys, keys to come out of obscurity, loyalty keys, prosperity keys, spirituality keys, leadership keys. It's it's a lot of things. So we cannot do a lot. We just touch here and there and then we'll be on the move. What do you think? But you already know a lot of things. Yeah, it's it's now you have to apply them. You get it? Yeah. So we brought you here so that we can fellowship and then we encourage to use what we are we are learning or what we have learnt all this time. Do you get it? Yeah. So does anybody have any question? No question. That's a bad sign for now, right? So keys to coming out of obscurity key #1 obey God. Key number one. Get it? I don't have it. Obey God. Amen. What do you think? Abraham went out of Egypt his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South. Amen. Now that and Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. Amen. Now the Lord had said to Abraham, Get thee out of thy country. Do you see? I'm trying to show you the end and the beginning. Yeah, the end and the beginning as he came out of obscurity, you understand? Yes. And he, he, he was, he was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold. I tell you, God can make you very rich. Do you see? In every aspect, in cattle. Are you there rich in cattle? Rich in cattle? All right, rich in every aspect, rich in silver, rich in gold. Do you believe it? Let me just get all right. So obeying God is perhaps the obeying the voice of the Spirit, and following the Spirit, you see, is perhaps the greatest key to any endeavour that you are going to undertake in this spiritual matters. Because. The owner of the work is God. It doesn't any of us he. Can press any part of us and that place will turn into cancer and you are out. You can be dead in six weeks. I'm telling you. Is it true or it's not true? Yeah, there is. There is. There is nothing about us that can make us self exist. The work is his, the preaching is his, the message is his. Everything is his and we are hiss. There's nothing to it except what he says. So your greatest quest must be to master the. Act of caring so that you can obey. This is what Kenneth Higgins said, he said the difference between ministers and now. Now, for all of you, you are now professionals. Oh yeah, these are professionals. And maybe I should call IT professionals Camp instead of hunters and farmers, but professional hunters and farmers. It's your profession. Thank God right? You have about 5 different things that. You sort of have to. Juggle with and all the five this equivalent to obeying God. It is just like how we have to juggle with, you know, with money to choose who to where to build and so on #1 is when you read your Bible. I'll tell you that I have found that when I read my Bible, God speaks to me, and perhaps I'll say that one of the. Highest. Ways by which God speaks to me is in my reading of the Bible. Apart from learning the knowledge of the Word, I find myself direct even at camps at times. I come, I can have a whole campus on my quiet time that I had in the morning when I arrived at the camp, and I'll come and share my quiet time onwards. Yeah, but even during the camps I have found God speaking to me. In the mornings when I read my Bible, God speaks to me. So that's one. But it is, as usual, like water is not respected, but probably the greatest. Then another way that God speaks to you is through your pastor. Now I don't know what you are writing, but you can write if you want. There's nothing to write. I mean, all these are in the books. You want to still write it. It's a sign of loyalty. Forgive. Anyway. Don't worry, please. You don't. You don't need to write. You can write if you want, but you don't have to write. Just try to understand what's going on. All right? Your pastor, like for instance, if you are in this church and you've grown up as a sheep, like you realize that the life of the sheep depends on him following his shepherd and depend on how you are linked to the shepherd. Even a little thing may link you to life. If you are sort of a distant sheep, when he goes left or right, he sort of just sway at distance. You don't really follow exactly. What I'm trying to say is that if there's a large flock anywhere behind and the shepherd is down, then he goes to the left. You may not even go left because you are distant. But if you are very close and he goes left like this, you better go left too, because not going left may mean that you will go into a river. But when you are far and he goes. Left you are, you are quite far. You are already a distant type. So when he turns left. It will not really affect your turning left so much. That is hard time. It looks like some people they don't really obey their shepherds. It doesn't seem to really be changing their lives much. It's because of their positional relationship with the shepherd. I don't know if you get what I'm saying. So if God has placed you close enough, it's likely that the tents of the person are connected to your tents and his voice connected to your voice. But you may ask, like my myself, are there, is there some others about that? I obey when they say do this or do that. If you take, let's say, in my relationship with Papa Hagen, I, I am I, I. My position is far, but near in another way, but far I have heard. Him facing people. Who are Rima graduates and people who are working with him, He was talking about them. They were not listening to his son and he was telling them that everything that his son does is his son is discussing with him and that what is what is if you follow his son that you are following. He said you are not following me if you don't follow this. And he said, if you don't follow what we are doing, you won't follow what his son was saying and what they were saying in the institution. But it doesn't affect me because you see, from where I am, I don't even know what they are saying. I don't care what I'm saying. I don't even know what they are saying. I mean, it hasn't changed my life. There's nothing that I have the part that I can receive from the word part, That part, you know, it's where I follow. Yeah, there are things that bring in my mind and my spirit all the time. You get it. So if you are positioned close enough, the. Person turning left. Into full time ministry will probably mean that you better follow on into full time ministry. Yeah, yeah, you get what I'm saying? Yeah, if, if, if I turn more into the non dependent, whatever. You better rise up and working that thing very well because you are likely not to do well if you just sit there waiting to be receive flying dollars. And you see several people who would have turned out in a certain way because they were positioned close enough. When I turned towards full time, they didn't turn. And most of them are shipwreck ministers. Yes, most of them are shipwreck ministers. They they have a manner to another. And when they get to heaven, they were screaming regrets. I tell you, they were screaming regrets. But they wasted the greatest opportunity of their life and they have no more chance to return to do that thing again. It will be their greatest regret for them because they were following it left. Go this way, go this way, you get it. But there are. People who also follow me from afar, but I. Go here this they are being blessed. I sat by a pastor when I was coming. That's his own ministry. He started churches in America differently, he said, but he didn't say initially, you know what he had listen. But after a while, he was still saying, I've listened to this camp. Hey, listen, read this book. I read them over, head over. These are big churches, independent churches with. Ministries, money that the preaching, the other the higher. Biggest churches in the city? Yeah. But these are like people that are. Following something, but from a point. So if I'm. Turning out to non dependent, it doesn't concern them and it doesn't have any effect whatsoever on a whole host of people. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So that is the. Second very important thing, I'm talking about obeying God. You have to balance all of them, do you see? And the third one is the peace that you have in your heart about something, you know, the peace that you have in your heart about something. You know, like the Bible says, where's this thing? Are you there? You are there. Yeah, right. Anyway, like the peace, the peace that you have in your heart when you are obeying God. Like the Bible talks about the inner witness. There's a witness. And you see, I'm speaking in a way on a lot of assumptions that, you know, things that I don't really need to go a certain way. Now it says that the Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are the sons of God. All right, all witnesses the Spirit witness with us, to our spirit or with our spirit. So let the peace of God reign or rule in your heart. Do you remember that Scripture? What this is that collusions? So. Allow peace to rule so when you don't have peace. And now that peace is difficult to locate. When I'm talking about peace, what what are you disturbed about? This is like, for instance, some of the things we talk about, they bring disturbance. How many agree with me that they bring disturbance? But the. Question is which aspect of you is? Disturbed because you have different compartments? Do you see like if you are sick? Which? Part of you is sick. Is it your head or your eyes, your heart, your stomach? Which part is it? But this this versus let the peace of God. Rule in your heart so how to distinguish mind peace, heart peace, physical peace, pocket peace all other kinds of. Peace but that that's what I want you to master and when we talk of obeying God, you have to obey the peace that I have peace of the peace of God about this you also have to. Obey the peace you have to. So it's a combination of all these. So it's a combination of these several things. All right. Then the next, the 4th 1 is the things that you know the Bible says, the spirit, the things that you sort of just. Know and you know that you know, for instance, you know, you know that you must be a servant of the Lord. You know you must be in a particular town. You know, you know you must not live there. You know you must continue. You know you must die in this thing. You know you have no other. Work to do in this world except to serve God. How do you know these things? They just, you just know. And the Bible says that in it says that the Spirit testifies all right, that we are the children of God. And the Bible also says that the Spirit of God in US crying ABBA father. As the spirit cries ABBA Father. What happens? You know that God is your father? How do you know that God is your father? That's what I mean. So those kind of noise, do you get it? It's that I know there are some people. I know things about them. I just know this person. Is like this. But I don't have any reason and I just know it's not a word of not it's not a. Flash. Word of knowledge, there are some people, you know, that this person, he will not be faithful to me. And that some people, you know, this person will be faithful because. Really. So that you can't imagine how somebody can become a Judas. But there are times that you just know. You just know. Are you there? Yeah. So that just knowing is something to you must follow. I'm talking about obeying God. You'll be rich in cattle, rich in silver, rich in gold. I mean like if you look at me. In a certain sense. I'm rich in churches, rich in souls, rich in pastors, rich in houses, money, churches, books and and I can but you see. God has also. Shown me the futility in all the things so as by the time you get there you see that it's useless. I don't need you again. It's fantastic. God, there is one guy was reading a book on healing. I was talking about the human race needs healing. Then it lists the things that the human race needs healing of Sicknesses in the body, sicknesses in the mind, emotional problem, emotional problems. Probably there were just about 5, but one of the things was futility. The word futility, I'll never forget that word jumped out of the list. Futility. It's futile. It's useless. That everything is useless. You see, because I'm sure this newlywed couple, if I've told them before that we will say to you there, here is your hotel bed and room. Go there and do whatever. Yeah, they will not believe that. They will say, yeah, you have to discover it for yourself. It's that it's useless. That's why. Everybody was laughing at you because they are saying yeah, you don't know. They love the only thing. That's why everybody was laughing at you. Tell me you cannot imagine it is my boy Anyway, so the 4th 1 is what the knowing that you have then the next one. So these are very important so. Like how to know you have peace is is is an important exercise. If it takes you 11 years to know I have peace, you have to struggle with it. And you sometimes you begin to know by doing something that you had peace, that you thought you had peace about. It becomes something. Else then you realize that no, that peace was not that the real peace, that peace was not peace. It was, it was. It was last because. Sometimes we call last peace. Yes, yes. One day I was talking to a certain brother and I asked him what are you attracted to? You know that he was mentioning some things I said. I'll, I said to them, I'll tell you something just free of charge. It will not cost anything. I said that what I will tell you is that women are easily deceived #1 and also easily deceive. Not only are they easily deceived, but they are very deceptive themselves. Because he had. Just. Been deceived and was continuing in the deception and I was asking that what are you looking for? I told you what I'm telling you not understand it now because when you see the beauty I tell you and your the Romans. Let me, let me show you something. Romans. Hey, Romas, are you there? Romas. I cannot find it. Verse 5, Chapter 7, verse five. He says, For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions were aroused by the law. They were aroused by the law. You see, when the law says this one is wrong, the passes are allowed, this one is not good. That is why when it has been made legal, you look at the things me at all, what was guiding me. What was guiding me? It's fantastical, but it says that the sinful. Passions which were aroused. That is why you are married to somebody and somebody that you are not married to, because the law says do not have anything with this. Person. And that is what arouses. The law. And if you have somebody who creates his or her own laws, personal laws, apart from the laws in the Bible, don't do this. If you do this, this, if you talk to this person is a sin, why do you talk to this particular person? If you smile at this person is a sin that person has. Also created laws that this person is the wrong person, this person and that rather arouses passions for that person who the actor has been marked as a law that that person is. Not supposed to be spoken to. Yeah, you will not understand till you read romance. Romance. Yeah. When they say you like this person, therefore that person is. A new law has come about. That particular person, it arouses the fight. But the one that they don't say anything about, they may even be more voluptuous. Nothing is aroused because there's no law. This one is. Hey, no, it says, but sin in verse 8, taking opportunity through the commandment. You see, as soon as he had a command this don't do this thing opportunity through the commandments produced in me converting of every kind it it produced in me converting of every kind. As soon as the commandment came forth or comes forth, did this. Don't do this. Don't sit here, don't write here, don't talk here. Don't do as soon as that command make a sin takes opportunity arousing convectiousness of. Every kind. What do you think? Yeah. Is it not amazing? Yeah, that is why you are married to a wife and your penis cannot erect, you see? It cannot. You need to take medicine. Not, cannot, and does not. There's a program on television. BBC. Can't cook and won't cook. Can't and it won't. Hey, that sin taking opportunity from the commandment which has come that don't, don't do, don't look, don't see, don't. That's the one you want to see. It arouses in you convectiousness of every kind. Yeah. Anyway, this just by the way. Yeah, it's fantastic. I'm talking about the first key to coming out of obscurity and that 31 of them obeying God is very, very important. Amen. Obeying God is very, very important. So that knowing that to follow it, that peace, you have to follow it that daily word or even reading the Bible, you have to follow it. That what else? The pastors shepherd's voice, you have to follow it. Then you come to dreams, you see. You have to follow dreams also, you see. So it's almost like a checklist and a discovery journey because none of us can say based on how we feel. It's not so easy to know the peace and to know the things that you know based on your suspicions and your education and your background you understand and what is being said and when you fast and different things, but that. Is your quest. It's your journey. You have to master it. When you master it, God can guide you. All the way. I wrote a book 20 times. God. Radically changed my direction. Yes. By the Spirit's guidance, Yeah. Huh. I don't know, You see. That he changed my this way, this way, this way, this way, this way, this way, this way. I'm telling you that's what brings you to the richest look. It was a vision that I have. I wrote a book. 20 visions that affected my life. One of the visions was at the very beginning of my ministry. I had a vision. I was walking down a road like that one Indian path and on the left side of the of the road I came to a heap of sand. And then on the right side I'll see and as I kept going I'll see these heaps. But when I got to the first heap, the first heap of sand was not a heap of sand, it was a heap of. Gold and I was amazed. I wanted to stop there, take it up, call for a cheaper truck because there was no. Owner of this gold and the Lord said to me that we said don't stay here the roads. Which I'm taking you. This was as I was coming into ministry, the road that I'm taking you. There is a lot of this thing. Just keep walking on my Rd. You see more. There's no need to stay here. Yeah, and it's true. There are many, many things you will not know. That is part of because I never knew. Certain things were part of the ministry. I never knew and I never saw certain things until a certain time. I've seen different things and that's why I said don't stop here. That's why because I couldn't see those anything. I mean, this was the you have arrived. You have not arrived when you have $1000 income 1000. You have, you have not arrived anywhere. You have not arrived anywhere. I'm telling you don't be come. Look, there is more, but as soon as you stop, it ends and what will happen is that what you thought was riches will get dried up right before your very eyes. So carry on. Walk on the road. Thank God is leading you and master, master, master the key you see now dreams and visions. Dream in the night or the day visions. In the night or in the day, it's also something you have to sort of master and you must have dreams. You must have dreams. How can you not have dreams? It's, it's wrong if you don't have dream because the Bible says I'll pour out my spirit on all flesh. And the young men will have visions, the old men will have dreams. It's a sign of the presence of the anointing presence, dreams and vision. Look, it is more of a sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit than tongues because there's nothing said in the Bible that when I pour out my spirit on offer and they shall speak in tongues, there's nothing said like that. What has been said is that I'll pour out my spirit and they will have dreams. That's the actual prediction. Yeah. So if you don't have dreams and visions, pray, because you need your eyes to be open. That's why I said. That you don't know that you are blind. So come and buy. It's something you can buy. It's something you can get. And I'll anoint your eyes with eyes out so that you can see, so that you'll be rich, so that you'll be fully blessed. It's something. You can have. Yeah, I believe in dreams and visions. I'm guided heavily. By dreams about, you see, I'm very careful with dreams and visions because a dream you can have a dream and you'll be, of course. Suddenly, yeah, that's why I say it. It goes along. With. The Bible you are reading, the pastor's voice you are hearing the peace that you have, the knowing that you have the what. The things that you know, the dreams, the vision, it's a combination. If you if you, if you just go on dreams now. Why? Would you say? Why would you say or why would you feel? Why would God say to you that you should test the prophets you see, or you should test the script? But there's another verse. Let the others judge. And also what else? Judge all prophecy. What verse is that? Prove. That's what I'm looking for, yes. Why would he say to you prove, examine everything carefully, that's what this one says. And hold fast to that which is good, the highest level. Listen, listen to me. I was preaching about this on Sunday night. The highest level of prophetic ministers, the highest level, they are the ones who are confident to talk about when they are not having prophetic. Words. They are the greatest. They are the ones who know the difference clearly. So when you're when they are talking this, you know, and it's not a prophetic word. It's not I'm just talking with you. I'm just, I'm just sharing with you when they have they know the difference because it's it's there are two different things. Just having a silly dream or just a dream which is just. Part of your mind because. Unbelievers also have dreams. They had a lot of dreams one day. Our driver in the house had a. Dream. He had a dream. And in the dream, he had been sacked. Yeah. And he was. Very, very worried. And he came out, he said something, he said he and he said something else in the dream, which I always remembered. I can't talk about that, but he, he said something that he said that he had been sacked, you know, But a lot of people have dreams. The Butler had a dream, the Baker had a dream. The Booker Nisa had a dream. Pharaoh himself had a dream. Joseph had a dream. All these people have dreams, so dreams. Are not common. Are not. Specific to only the Holy Spirit's presence. It's other things as well. So the highest. Level they they can switch this was the this was the great thing about Hegeony. He can switch between I read a book which was intended to criticize him. It is called another Gospel, that book. It's got another gospel, a book like this criticizing Kinetic. But one of the things they said rather made me understand. He said that he, he's a master at switching between the two worlds. He switches from the scripture. I said in one moment he'll be talking about the Scripture. The next moment he will be relating a fantastic vision. Which confirms the scripture and he switches. Between the two like that, yeah. So when I read, I never forgot that. That's the only thing I remember in that book. And and that that was Paul. Paul. Could say I I got this from the Lord. I can speak of a man. He went up into heaven. This, this. Then he would talk, he said. This one. Is not the Lord. I'm the one saying this, this, this, this, this. Then he said, no, I'm now saying this one, the Lord said. And like that switch, the bridge between the two worlds is getting. Smaller and you must be able to sit and one woman you are here and that's woman you are here but you must know which world you are in so that you don't you don't use otherwise you can use your inflamed passions. You see, one time there was a certain guy, he said he needed to deliver a certain lady from her spirits of whatever and that there was something in her vagina that. She needs to remove. You need to remove it from you see. Now. Now let me tell you something. Sexual Sexual feelings are very close to spiritual things. If you don't know, I'll tell you. Yeah. And they are very close to prophetic things. Sexual feelings. You know why in a man, the arousing of sexual feelings, right? Is is not caused by the presence of a female body, is caused by excitement of of a mystery. Yeah, it's caused by the excitement, right, Of a mystery that's not by a female body. The presence of a female body or presence of a naked female body is caused by the excitement of a mystery or a mysterious thing. Yeah, that is why there's true erections as true, not the excitement, erection, sexual interest or whatever before marriage and. Just as you are approaching it even more intense because you are getting nearer to the mystery, when the mystery is cracked. Yeah, when the mystery is. Solved. And the mystery is no longer mysterious. You, you, you you'll be. Surprised. You'll be surprised, yeah, that suddenly that sensation that inflames and. Grips you, it grips you it's. Gripping. It's gone. It's not there. You have to arouse. It. Now. Many things in the spirit are mysterious. And are hidden and so there's. There's there is some neighborliness between the two because they are both. Mysterious. And they are both things in the dark and things that are hidden. Yeah. Do you understand what I'm saying? So there's there's there's a relation, you see. And that is why, that is why sometimes people. Tip off. And sometimes have words of knowledge only about women, busy and sometimes sex, Mostly sexual words of knowledge. There's somebody. Here wearing red punches. Communication yesterday. Come forward. Oh, you don't understand what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah, Charge, do you understand? Are you there because this is mysterious? Yeah. Hidden things. Mysterious things. Anyway, so the prophetic ministry visions and dreams is an area that you must also crack open for yourself. And you must that's the, that's the the danger. And then you have voices. The other day I was in the car and I had a voice behind me to my left side. And the voice said, somebody has this. That's what? But somebody has something. Then I said to myself in the car, this is what I was hoping will not happen. You know, you have to be careful about voices because when you start hearing voices, too, the other thing is that it's mad people who hear voices. Yeah. Yeah, it's one of the symptoms of mental illness. Yes. Auditory hallucinations. They hear people talking to them, advising them insult. Especially. Insulting them and accusing them, you know, it's it's one of the things that effects mental and actually it's the key sign for the diagnosis of madness through madness. A lot of there are a lot of mental conditions, depression, this, this, but this, when we say schizophrenia, it means that you've diagnosed other persons mad. I asked my lecturer once in psychiatric, what does schizophrenia say? Madness that is real madness And this is 1. You need these two things, the paranoid delusions and auditory hallucinations to make that diagnosis. You have to talk with a person and say person hears people to you ask do you? Hear people talking to you. So yeah, they are always telling me, you know, yesterday they was talking to me. They said I'm this, they said. This is a then you ask the person, who are you? So I was I'm professor. So so I. Work at the castle, you know I have a. Briefcase, I said. This is a you are not professor, you are a woman. So I'm a man. I know without a man, and this is like they don't change a man, these two, when you. So psychiatrists diagnose by discussing and when they discuss with them, they say that this thing he believes something that cannot be changed. And this one, he hears voices and you put the two together, you're diagnosing. Yeah, that's how you diagnose that this person is bonkers true, doctor. So what I'm sharing with you, though, when you start to hear voices, you must also be careful. All these is it went the more deeper, the further out you go, the more you must be very careful because it can tip you into. You can ask Bishop Eddie. We had a friend called Ryo. Yeah, I tell him. And he had a voice telling him that he must now pray. In the name of oral, isn't it? You remember that one? In the name of oral? And oral means word which means Jesus, which means something. And oh, he went totally mad and went out of the school. That was how I started, the name of oral. You know, we had a lot of one of our best friends. Best friends, Yeah. So that is key, Number one key #2 to your coming out of obscurity as you must believe in God's Word, Amen. And the Bible says, and he believed in the Lord, and he counted it to him for righteousness, Amen. This. Is. Still, Abraham, this is the person who was rich in cattle, rich in gold, rich in silver, rich in everything. He believed in the Lord. Amen. Are you there? Yeah. Now what you believe is what is going to make you a great person spiritually, what you believe. Amen. So try hard to. Believe. What God says. Now you may think that what I'm saying is not necessary after we all believe if we were not here, if we, if we were not here, we wouldn't. I mean, if we did not believe, we would not be here, you see, but it is not true. We believe things to different extents. Oh yeah, yeah. Like you may believe that I'm your spiritual father or your father in ministry, but people believe it to different extents. You may. You may believe, for instance, that what I'm saying that we should become non dependent and mature. You may believe it, but to different extents. You see, you may believe that. God wants you to be. In the north or the South or the West or the east. But to different extents. Or I may believe that I should be an evangelist, but to different extent. Now, why do you think that God sometimes speaks twice? Or three times or. Sometimes allows you to have certain bad experiences is to help you and make you believe certain things even more. Yeah. So it shows you that believing is in levels. It's like you take it, but at the point you take it more and and it's usually what it is able to make you do. Yeah. That means who you are and how how much you believe something. Yeah, what it is able to make you do. You see, if we talk about sowing a seed, giving. Sacrifice. Even like the books that I've written, I can preach from them effortlessly for hours and hours. And it's because I believe the things and actually I find it difficult to write about something I don't believe. And I have learnt not to try if I don't believe in something. Deeply you see that there is a. Level to which I must believe in something to be able to write it. That's why when people say I want to write a book sometimes at the very youngest state of your life. You want to write a book. It is true that you believe it, but I tell you, it's going to take some more time for you to really believe what you say you believe. Yeah. You believe God is good, God is good, God is good. You have to see some bad things and still say God is good. You have to. See some bad things and say God is in control for some time, for some years, so that. I really believe that God is in control. I believe I have to say God like. These students and so on, those who are coming, they were initially Harmony, the first group Lulu who said they'll be full time from ALOS, that's from the University 42, they said they'll be full time. And how many are coming tomorrow? 11:00 yes. As I kept meeting with them, frightening them, telling them they're going to suffer. It's not easy, this and that, they kept on reducing. Yeah. And different things. And even this 11 that are coming. We will see how many will remain. Yeah. Pardon. Yeah. So what I, what what I, what I want to say is that faith comes by hearing. So it is necessary for many of us at the level at which we are, because you are going to have a good report. In the ministry based on your. Faith. Yeah, I said that by by faith, the elders obtained a good report, not by being good or moral or this or that, by what you believe, especially of what God says. So take every single book. If you take any book, let's say leaders. And loyalty or loyalty and disloyalty or steps to the anointing. I will tell you that even though I speak a lot about the anointing, many of us believe that we don't really believe that it is the anointing that makes me stand where I am standing. Yeah, some still feeling their mind is good luck. Some still feeling their mind is strategies. Some believe that it's money. Some believe that it's my family, some believe that it's administration, education, my skin colour management, my contacts. So I'm I can explain still. That is because you believe something else. Monday I was having a meeting with all my pastors. Then I took aside one of the pastors. They were my treasures. Those pastors. I love them with all my heart. So I took aside one of the people that I loved and I said, you know, I thought we, I thought we believed it in the same way. I said we're going to make it. We're going to, you know, we're going to do this. Let's do this. And she said to me, a Bishop, your father has money. Let's face it. Your father has money, and even if you don't work, you'll get money. But some of us, it's not like that. I was surprised. So I realized that we believe it differently. Yeah. Do you understand? That's why I'm. I'm sure you have to come out of obscurity. Coming out of obscurity would depend greatly on the extent to which you believe things. He said and he believed God. He believed God. He moved out. He believed. Yeah, he believed. Recently God spoke to me. And I said to the Lord, Lord, these things are and I realised that that's one of the ways that I knew that it was God who has spoken to me because of what it was. You know when you when you hear something, you can easily believe it's not usually from. God, the things that God wants to do, you can't believe. It's unbelievable. It's fantastic that he's going to use you or that he likes you. Yeah, this is unbelievable. That's how you even know that that if you look. Look at where you are and look at where I am now in the ministry and if God is telling you that you will surpass. Him. In your ministry. Not not in an evil way. That I want to be better than this person or whatever. No, you can't. You can't be me. You can't be you, but you can do it. I'm going to show you a film of Bonky when he went on the mission field. Yeah. You, you. I want you to see him at the beginning of his ministry. He was he was a missionary to Lesotho. So I brought a DVD to show you so that you see the beginning of somebody, how he was nothing and he had nothing. And how he supervises. Send a message like the message I'm telling you that we can no longer support. It happened to him. We can no longer. Support this thing in Lesotho, Yeah. Be mature, become who you can become. And he has become. I tell you, I want you to see it for yourself. He started by if he. Started a printing press. The print, nobody was responding to his ministry. Yeah, it's amazing. But if you are called and you are professional, you'll be very interested in something like that. And if you sleep when something like that is being shown, it's a sign that you should be. You should leave anyway. Now the financial thing alone. Will remove you from. From, from, from that place, that thing. I don't have to speak. You can sleep during the film. Take it as a sleeping time. And then that is it. I don't have to convince you. Are you, are you listening? Are you understanding what I'm saying? Yeah. So faith comes by hearing what I would say is. Keep on if you like. If the anointing can help you just on that thing, Lord, I don't, I don't understand and I don't believe. I want to believe and you hear. Listen and listen for faith comes by hearing you listen to the same offer different things. Anointing, anointing. You know, one of the things I've listened to a lot is the anointing my current. Things that are listening to anointing. Oh yeah, hello. What's all my this is hum I'm listening to but I know it is from Benny Hill. Oh yeah. He can teach the anointing. He will not understand anything that he's saying, but after some time you understand it. Over and over and over and over and over. You will hear it and. You start to believe. You believe? In the anointing, in a in a way, you will come out of a certain Oh yeah, because a certain aura will come over you in that place. Then you will see that the same God of Abraham. The same God of that is. That is why God had began to have those names. The God of Abraham or the God of Isaac is like the one who helped. This one is the one who helped you, Amen. That's how he got those names. Yeah. The God of this, the God of this person, the God of this person. So so the God of this is he made the God who helped this person. May he applied that same formula and help me also. That's where he got those type of names from the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac. And so when you watch this and you see the God of Bunky, may the God of Bunky or the. God, who also called. Me and lifted me from the rocks of Colegono. May he also lift you from accepting unbelievable corner. Me personally, I believe that. Every. Corner where you are can become an International Centre. That's that's personally what I believe. People will come to that place. It's possible. And that's why I'm sharing this key, the key, Baba says. And he believed God, He believed. He believed, he believed. And it was count he believed that it was. Counted. To him as righteous I tell. You, God, God, when you get to that place where you believe, you are seen differently. Even me, I treat people. Differently based on the extent to which I sense they believe in me. I love them more, I like them more, I'm attracted to them more. That's why I'm more attracted to the full time people. I'm more when there's a church member that the person wants. To become a pastor, I'm more attracted to that person. I'm attracted and I'm interested. I rarely talk about people's marriages about this, about whatever. When I see the person's a pastor or the person is coming to the I'm interested in this man. I'm interested in anything. What is there about you? I like let's talk about it. I I'm interested because the person believes more than the ordinary member and has believed someone that he's become a pastor. He believes someone that is coming to full time ministry. I'm I'm interested in that guy. It opens my heart. I'm interested. I'll do anything to spend anything to anything that's I said that as we go out of here, those who follow the things we will see it. I get the example of James in Sierra Leone, as you see the money that is there, that is you see that this, you can see there will be people that will have money. They will save money, they will use money. They say that this person believe what they say. That person, you'll be different. I will treat that person differently. It's natural. It's only natural. You get it? Yeah. So believing in some Jesus said if you love me, obey me. You believe and you obey. The word the word obey and the word belief come from the same pistols. Pistols with the same verb faith, believe, believe, obey, believe, obey. They are interchanged, Believing, obey. Is virtual, so there are two. Points are virtual, but there's like the slight difference. It's like the extent. Which you know, and you invite, and you think it is true, and you live. By it. That's the extent to which you believe something. And I'm telling you, I know there are different extents to which we believe. For instance, in the anointing, or let's say even if when I talk about ham, ham make things, you must have heard me talk about ham. All of us believe in some different. Some of you even think that I say those things because I'm half Swiss. Yes. No, I'm saying that's from the negative side. And then it comes along and some of you have you feel that, oh, this and that or whatever or that, whatever you are saying this because of this or some of you feel like it's not really that. I try to give a sample sign. I can see that you don't believe, and I'm just showing you that Abraham climbed out of a corner of a town of Rome today. Everybody in the world knows Abraham. Every day is not part of the world, I said. There is no part of the whole wide world which does not know that name. Abraham, he said, I'll make you great. I'll take your name, Grace. I'll make you a father of many, many nations. I believe. And he believe. He believe. Hey. And you see. Even Abraham's belief was not a one day belief. If you start reading from about chapter 13, if you start reading from chapter 13, almost every chapter at the beginning and the Lord said to Abraham and the Lord said to Abraham, so you see that each chapter he was speaking again. So you see that his faith is just like your faith keeps growing and increase by hearing the Lord speaking to him almost it was the same topic. I'll make you pray I'll do this different one day. It's about a wife having a child and it's all related. What Can you believe? And one day I was thinking, I thought, I thought about, I thought about Abraham. If any of us grows old. To be old. If I was an old man to that extent and you were all young people, I would be able to explain this story better. That he was 8090 years old and his wife was also 80 or 90, and the law said you're going to have a baby. I said go Dada. Somebody who I've been married to for 70 years, not five years or 10 years. Darling old people, have you not seen old people before? Where will the erection come from? Actually. Yeah, it was a very what thing? Mystery. The mystery. Do you understand that? He, he, he, he did something. So he, I really believed a lot of things. And as I said, when I look at the books that I've written, I realize that what I believe and what I know is very different from what my people believe and what I and you can see from when they talk, you can see from when they flow, see that they believe things are shallow. Yeah. And I'm not saying that what I teach is the only thing that is good. It is not. If I'm one of the things I'm going to teach you is that every person must have a library. I'm going to show you the library, and I'm going to show you what you must have in your library. At least I'll start to recommend. Yeah. If you are professional pastor, you must have a library. Yeah. Yeah, you must have a library. OK. Are you there? Are you professionals? Yeah. So try to believe that things. You get it. Ask yourself like a book, like Quiet Time. Recently I went somewhere. I preached. It was a crusade. Where was it? Sampa. I preached from the quiet. Everybody was looking for the book Quiet Time. Hey. It was not easy, but I see something that I believe it's easy for me to take. I just hold it. Let's go. Oh, you don't think so? All right. How many keys do you have? Key #3 to come out of obscurity. Paying of tithes. Listen, when I say come out of, I mean come out of your hole is one of the keys. Is paying of tithes by you, the pastor, and by your church? Yeah, everything in your world must pay tithes. You must pray tithe. Your wife should pray tithe, your children should pray tithe, your members should pray tithe. And I'm I want to show you why the Bible says that. And blessed be the most high God, which had delivered thy enemies into thy hand, and he gave him. That is Melchizedek, tithe of all. That's Abraham. Abraham is the one who introduced tithing. Now, when a pastor doesn't pay tithes #1 it removes your ability, you see, to have power to make others to pay tithes. And I mean, your whole future depends on your congregation paying tithes, because if you don't pay tithes of all of all of all. The word of preaching from you that will come forth. About tithes will not have power when you have spiritual, I don't say very spiritual when you have spiritual and somebody is not operating in the power of God and you have discernment. You will know even though everybody. Is impressed with that person I'm going to share with you some things about snakes how to overcome snake but when we get to the warfare keys how to overcome snakes serpents in your ministry. I was reading Regina's book and this book called The Call, There's a chapter called The Words of Life. Jesus was speaking to Rejoin and he was being washed in plains, so he asked him that. How? Can my? Words have such an effect. It wasn't our words of life. Then he said to him that when the word does not come from your heart, it does not have power. Yeah, when it does not come from your heart, it does not have power. That's what he told you in the vision and this book called The Call. Yeah. What do you say about the spirit? The sword? Yeah. Doesn't cut. Yeah, it's powerful, The sword of the Spirit. If it doesn't, if the sword doesn't. Come from the Spirit. It doesn't. It doesn't cut. That's a. That's a good scripture that backs that idea, but. If it doesn't come from. The Lord, because it has to be the. Lord's words, if they are to have power, as I said, that if you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask for the words, and when his words abide in you when you speak. Out of the abundance of your of your heart. You speak, his words do. You understand? Yeah. So look, it's very difficult to preach about something you don't do. At least for me. It's difficult to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to be something that you are not or you don't get what I'm trying to say. No. Some people are. Good at it for a long time. One of the things that I've seen, I've seen ministers for years and years and years. They sleep with girls, They do different things for years and they are top ministers. It's something that I've also seen. You would think that if they do something like that, they will go out of the ministry. No, No, it's not. It's not the case. Not always. Many times. No. Yeah, Yeah. No, no. But. There's a, There's a place. That you must get to that you can know that these words and the power, even the extent of the power is, is different. It has no effect. So just as I I, I was relating watching. And I'm just I because I. Don't want to criticize. Anybody and I pray that I will not criticize anybody, just not interested. I just not watch, not listen, not relate. Then I found out I said, wow, there are reasons. I just, there's a reason why I'm it doesn't. It's like the music. The difference between Andrew Crouch's music and some other Christian's music is that some people, they gather words together and make their song. But if you take Andrew Crouch, he sings from his heart, his song, his. Story Let's start all over again I I never I. Didn't think it could be till it happened to me. You know, somebody told me of the joy they had. Take me back to the place. Oh Lord, I've come. I don't know why Jesus loved me. Somebody like you, love somebody like me and all that. You know, it's it's a real it's it's what that that's how his songs have been. But that's why you see that the father of the of the gospel people most. Of the rest or a lot of the rest, you do just because songs that the words are being joined together. I once knew one musician. I knew him personally and he composed the song. I never enjoyed the song, although the. Song. Is a nice song. It's melodious and it's nice. No, not so many songs I write. It was quite OK. I never. Enjoyed the song? Recently I heard it again. I said, oh, it's the the. Words. Are not his words because I know him?
