03. 7 Foundations - Sacrifice

Welcome to track #3 of mighty foundations. All right, what are the foundations #1 is what sacrifice? Let's get back into Sacrifice Chapter 6. Are there some some people? Where are they sleeping Wet. Have you woken up? Everybody OK? All right. How to come close to the anointing? Amen. How many want to be close to God? In the Old Testament, before you come close to God, you come to the first spot of what you call it, sacrifice. So you enter the Tabernacle like this, you come in this way and the first thing is you meet is the the altar of sacrifice. After that you meet a big bowl of water, the liver. Then after that you come to a door. I'm just describing the the House of God, the Tabernacle. You enter and you go deeper and deeper. The deepest point is the Holy of Holies. OK, so there are three 3 doors. You go through the first door. When you come in, you come to a place which is an altar just for sacrificing animals, and you keep going in. You come to a place where they wash your hands, and then you come in, you come to a door, you go through, you come to the place you call the holy place. And then after that you go through another door and you come to the Holy of Holies. OK, So what I'm trying to explain is that on the journey in, what's the first thing you meet? The altar, Altar sacrifice. Then after that, the lever, the bowl for water to wash of the blood. Then after that you come to the next place, holy place. And in that holy place there are three things. There's a Candlestick, there's a table of shewbread, and there's the incense. OK, that's all that you have, but God is still not there. God is still not there. We haven't yet gotten to God. Then you go through the last door and you come to the Holy of Holies, and that's where the cherubim and that's where the Shekinah glory of God is. So all I'm saying is that you start from outside, you are nowhere near God, and you start coming. But when you are coming nearer, what's the first thing that you ever meet in sacrifice? Yeah. So that is a very good symbolic. Of course, God was not in that tent. I mean, it was, it was a teaching that to get to God you have to sacrifice each time you come. The first thing is sacrifice. So when Pastor Jimmy gave his life to Christ, he was coming through the altar for the first time, was coming through the Tabernacle for the 1st, and the first thing he met was to sacrifice. So Pastor Jimmy had to stop listening to the music that he used to listen to. Is it not true? Yes, and the friends he used to have, you have to put them aside. His girlfriends, you see him looking very holy like that. So then that was the end of it. Then Pastor Jimmy wanted to go deeper, you know, because each time he said you don't live there, you come in and then you go out and he wanted to go deeper. So, but again, he had to come back and start his process all again to receive Holy Spirit baptism. And it started once again by sacrifice. He has to sacrifice his ideas, his pride. Am I the one who prayed for you to receive Holy Spirit baptism? Yes, I later. So you have to sacrifice his pride to receive from somebody like me, 1/2 caste Palestinian. Are you understanding what I'm saying? I'm not from Palestine, please. But you see, and Pastor Jimmy is older than me, it's older than I am, and he didn't know as we did in a church or whatever, we just in a little room somewhere with a few people. It's not like anything I started. So he sacrificed his bigness, his pride, whatever, and I laid hands on him and he received yet again, the Holy Spirit started speaking in tongues. So he was now going further. OK then, so you've had your experience. You go back to town, then you want more of God. And he had to. Come back So want to be a drama? Of the church. An usher, please. That's another journey. And for that he has to sacrifice. Come early, open the place. Is that not so? Organize the place. Organize the chess at his age or at his level or at his whatever. Easy to get in there, then goes out. He's OK. Won't be a pastor, You know, you have to do exams. You have to do this. You have to do that, this and that. Then it starts again. Each time you have to humble yourself a little more, pay another price, come in, then be a pastor in Basil. Still, to get to Basil, he has to start all over again. OK, Train 3 hours. Geneva Basil, 3 hours sits on the train, 3 hours going three hours come plus a little bit in between. So 87 hours minimum for yes, going up and down. Because there was already a pasta in Geneva, you understand, And there was, there was already somebody in Zurich. So if you want to have something to do and he did want to have something to do, do you get what I mean? So you have to start all over again. You start always sacrifice, wash your hands. The washing it symbolizes the water of the word, you know, because the word of God washes you. Jesus said you are clean through the word that I've spoken to you. So as you go into God, you, you see that you first pay a price when you wash yourself with the word and you come to the holy place where there's the table of shoe bread, there's the light, the Candlestick, that's the holy light, the revelation. You begin to understand more and the incense which speaks of worship and the the the things that burn in the worship in the in the what do you call it? Some of them are bitter and you see all that is part of them, that there's bitterness in part of the experience with God. And then you finally come to the glory. So then now he wants to go even deeper, isn't it? So he God allows him to have disloyal people. Yes, it's an experience to have. Otherwise all are just theories. All the things I've written and all the things we've read in the Bible, you will not know that it's real. You would think that it's Bishop. You know, Bishop is not patient. No Bishop is very violent. No Bishop, you know how man this and that. So God allows you because He, in his heart, He wants to know. More of God. Isn't it? So God allows you to have some bitter experiences which once again bring you back to square 1 and you, you have to have then transfer him back because at that time we had not done transfer. So it's like, yes. And then you went to Zurich. Yes, I mean in Zurich, I mean, I mean in Zurich, that's what I mean. And then in Zurich, you have to transfer him back to Geneva. We have not been doing transfer. Now that we do transfer, small, no, we will move you. We not, we don't wait at all. Yes, the church is not for you, it's not for me, and it's also not for you. Once it's not for me, it's not for you, because I'm the founder of the church and the church that I did a pastor. I've been transferred from the Kodesh. Now Bishop Saki is there. I've been transferred to the field. I'm now doing evangelism. And you, you want to stay there forever. No, no, no, no. So here we are once again. He's back to Geneva now. The idea of Congo has come, you see, and to go to Congo again, he's going to have to now gather himself. And say hey. This sacrifice thing at the very beginning, Janasa, it's coming again. That's what the Bible calls offer yourself as a living sacrifice. The sacrifice that never ends, never dies, never finishes. Yeah, this is how God's work is. You never finish paying the price till you die and until when you are dead, then that's it. But as long as you leave, you find out that you keep on wondering that I thought it was over. I thought, I thought, what do you call it? Confusion and pain of prices and all these things was over because I've, I've come. But you see, God, you are on a course. Yesterday I told you about the course and the purposes. Yes, and your course is here to here to here to here to here to here. In the end, you would have done all this journey in God. Sometimes it's even at the same place, but in different things, and sometimes it's in different places. But you keep going so that when you're dying, like Paul, you can lie on the bed and say I've finished my course. How many want to say that I was I didn't finish my course. You have to say I have finished my course. Amen. And then we did every purpose, every stop. You fulfilled the purpose purposes, especially the higher purposes at that spot. Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So with me, for instance, there was a time that I always, all I do is I visit a church. I visit this church, have three days there, visit this church, do that, and then be always at the at my church on Sunday. And now since I was transferred, I don't have any church on Sunday anymore. Do you understand what I'm saying? I don't have any. You can ask me sometimes. I mean, I mean, I have nowhere to go. Yeah, it's true. Because I'm, I'm, I've been transferred from the church. Yeah, that to the field. Yeah. And the transfer is making me set up, you know, to, to think about what more I can do. So, so now I've, I've even apart the Healing Desert Crusade. I've now even created another section of Healing Desert Crusade for schools, schools and universities, which I'm just starting so that I'm always busy at the weekend. Because since I was, I realized that Sunday born, I don't have to have to organize my own, which is what God wants me to do. It's making me set up. You don't understand what I'm saying. Yeah. Now you see each time you come lower and then you pay a price and then you come to the presence of God. So never be afraid, don't run away, don't run away from pain, don't run away from something that is hard. Take it up. I have never regretted any aspect of the work of God that I have ever gotten myself into. Playing drums, playing the piano, guitar, singing whatever, arranging chairs, everything has enriched my life. Yes, that's why when I see instrumentalist tiring cable and say, look, all these things, we've done them before. You see, you can't bamboozle me with all these. So we have to do. We have to. You don't have to do anything. You don't have to do anything, Amen. Just be humble and flow, Amen. All right, so sacrifice is all once again a blessing to come towards the anointing, Amen. All right, now the next one, Chapter 7, you know, I'm just giving you headline, headline news. It's headline news, CNN headline news, highlights, sports highlights. OK, now the elimination of Pharaoh, Chapter 61, page 61, who is Pharaoh? Pharaoh symbolises Satan, and one of the main things that Satan does is to keep you working a useless job you see, forever for him. Now what do you do? You build the cities of Pharaoh, Pitom and Ramses. That is what happens. Now if you think about what I tell you, people leave Switzerland one day. What would you have done in Switzerland? Based on their laws, based on their order, you would have contributed to making Switzerland a greater and a better place. Amen. Are you there? Yes. Classical music. Are you there? You'd have made Switzerland better. Some of you may have bought houses. Do you understand? You have you have made. By the time you leave, go out of this world, this place will be better, more built up. You see, well maintained through your presence. Yeah, your taxes. You have work, work, work, pay taxes. You add your all your taxes, you make it beautiful. And that is what the Israelites were doing. They were in the town making Pharaoh City better and bigger, and they were building it. You just analyze your life very carefully and you realize that that is what you are doing. Yeah, yeah. Because they've made their, they've made their law such that you bring their money and you build, develop this place. Everywhere belongs to somebody who, if for instance, you want to be Swiss and you are not Swiss, you can come with money, you're coming to invest, You can come with 100,000 or some huge amounts and you come, they'll give you the stay, stay, I mean see or whatever indefinite and you, you'll be here in England. All the countries have that anytime. The the main aim is to be develop and build their cities and their world. You come and go, you will die 30 years, 20 years, you will not be here again. No problem. Just bring it here and develop it here. Now God has a higher purpose for your life, higher than developing London, developing Geneva, developing Zurich, and that is developing His Kingdom. And so Moses was sent to the people of God, and Moses was sent to tell them, let my people go so that they will go and sacrifice for me in the wilderness. Yes, a different reason apart from just building your cities. Pharaoh and Pharaoh said no, I will not let them go. Now if God wants Pastor Jimmy to be released to go and build his Kingdom in Congo, not to go and build Congo, but to go and build a Kingdom in Congo, Pharaoh will not be happy. Pharaoh will hardly let you go. Pharaoh will say what? Where should you? Go. Stay here and pay a mortgage. Stay here and pay. A mortgage, stay here and pay a mortgage, stay here and develop this plane. And you are forced to stay there and pay, pay, pay, pay, pay, pay, pay, pay, pay until the doctor says you have this sickness. You. These are the number of months that you have left to live Tonight, call on your insurance and so on to come and manage the rest and say bye, bye. And your life has basically been developing one more flat or one more little space in the city of the world, in the cities of the world. Meanwhile, God was calling you to a higher calling to build an eternal Kingdom. In Hebrew they say for they look for a city which has foundations, a city which has foundations, something that has foundations because this Europe is already doomed. Yeah, when the apocalypse begins, you wish you were in Africa. Yeah. Are you there? So Pharaoh wants you to work for him. So for me, coming to work for God, what have I done with my life? All my life? I've spent not all my life, but a large part of my life kind of build the Kingdom, churches, church buildings, the Word of God books. Preaching this. Is what I'm. Using my time and my energy and my life to do. Yes. Not to develop any particular place. I'm not saying you should not have a house because all those things are that one is right now you're getting yourself accommodation to do your. Work for God. Yes, we are getting a place to stay so that you can be there to do the work of God. It's just like a church building. A church building is not the work of God. A church building is a meeting place for the work of God. Amen. So, brothers and sisters, you have to accept a higher, higher, higher job for your lives. All of. You you see? The guys we brought up for the, the French, the the guys for Paris and so on, we're trying to give them some greater reason for this if they are to receive it and if they follow it, look at. That. At that age they start. You see, I started when I was 25 years old, I was a pastor when I was 25 years old as a pastor. And since I've been 25, I've been past been a, when I say pastor, called pastor and I've been doing it all this time. Now supposing now I've got everything that I want and I'm now 40 something years old. And I said now I'm good to work for God. It's different. 20 years of my life doing this work from when I was young. Do you see 20 years, 21 years of my life doing this thing as a pastor? It makes a difference. Yeah. And that's why I see the young people. I say that's why when I had that meeting, I, you know, utter course, all of young people say come, I want you to come, go to come for a camp. I want you to come because I want the young people. The other ones, we have more problems. Yeah. More problems, issues, children, reasons why, reasons why not. Amen. Are you there? Yeah. So Pharaoh doesn't want you to go and worship God, he said. But I want you to use your life to save God. That's why I appreciate all the people who make moves just because of the Kingdom of God. This one moved from England with his wife. Now that's Denzel, your son. I hear you are now a youth pastor. You see you. Don't even know what you are escaping from. If you have stayed in London with this boy, by now he may be one of the people. We read on Sky on Sky News of the people who have been stabbed in London. Denzel, is it not true? It's been stabbed before even. Except is it? I cannot imagine the joy. And I remember telling him go to Germany. But sometimes you don't even know. And you remember. Yeah. Remember when I told him? What was that? That's why we're going. We're going to Salafus Church. And I told you what? Yeah. Germany. Yeah. The reason why we say go here, go here, go. We are not sure what we are doing. You think I will say that the spirited. I'm not sure what? I'm also not sure what I'm doing. Trying to find the direction of God, trying to find which one is working. And I try to follow open doors. When I arrive at the airport, I arrive at different airport. Where, which airport did I just come from? I think Heathrow Terminal 5, You know, there's no, there's no way to do what. We just have to follow the place that there's a space. When you come out, you just see this place, the stairs, there's no other place. So then you climb. And I was the first person. I was in front of everybody because I had to catch my flight. So I was just wondering, am I going the right direction? OK, so when I looked at everybody's following myself, these people, I hope they, they are sure because I'm not sure of what I'm doing. See. But I just kept going to the place which was in front and, and where there was a space and which was enclosed. Yes. And that's what the Bible says that acknowledge the Lord in all thy ways and he shall direct thy paths. He won't direct, He won't tell you anything, but the paths are directed. Yeah. Do not say anything to use personally, but he would direct the file. close this place, close that place, open here. And so as you keep moving, this is where he's supposed to be. So that's why you must pray about it. Pray about acknowledge the Lord in all thy ways, acknowledge Him in all thy ways, acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths. Amen. Are you listening to me? Amen. So, brothers and sisters. You, you, you. You'll be surprised at the effects. That's why I'll say that some of the people, when they, they've gone on further, what happens is that you break away from Satan. Satan. Is in your life. You see, and you actually break away from Satan. So. As you move out of landing to Germany, you actually broke away from Satan coming to kill your child. I mean, you'll be surprised you would think that, but what's the difference? Why? And if you've ever had a child, you know when your child is growing up and you cannot tell which way the child is going to go. You think because you were holding him in the house, kissing him and so on, it's going to be forever, very nice to you and so on. No, no, no, no, it doesn't mean that at all. Yeah. That's same child, you see, it is turning to an animal. So what happens is that as the people of God move out. God. Says go to the water. Hey Lord, when I go. To. The water I'll drown. When you go in the water, you drown. So it's so look very risky. Water on the right, water on the left. The thing has go. What about if when we are in the middle, it comes down, There's a lot of fear in the church, There's a lot of fear in the church. But when you put aside your fears and you walk through like this, there is there are some places certain devils cannot come with you through certain places. So. Anytime somebody moves through the river that God has asked you to move through, you always leave behind some devils. Which? Devils when you don't. Walk through the water will be with you and so there are certain troubles in your life. They are because you didn't go through the waters. And they are. Part of you today. Yeah, I. Tell you, you didn't go through the waters and so the devil as you walk through those waters, setting devils which kill children, which destroy your house, they were drowned in the Pharaoh, Pharaoh's family and Pharaoh's children, Pharaoh's chariot, all of them drowned in the waters as he passed through the water. It was a very frightening thing for him to do. But I have noticed anybody who goes through the waters that God asks you to go through, you drown the enemies. There are so many. Enemies in my life that I were drowned by by by me going through the waters. Enemies that I can see are still with some of my friends who wouldn't go through those waters. It's true. Since I walked through the water and I put aside my stethoscope and I said damn it, I'll be poor. I said my I will never travel again in my life. I knew I would never sit on a plane again. Yeah, I knew. I knew that I would never sit on a plane again. I that I knew. I knew I would never have a house. I would never trust travel again. I knew that I would be poor. I knew that my children would be poor. I knew. And I walked through. You get it. Everything is opposite. Yeah. I thought I would never travel again. Now I beg to try any airline, any airline that I take. I I become the highest, you know, they have whatever. I become the highest if I take this group. So I'm the highest here and I'm the highest here. Yeah, If I take this and the highest if I take this and the highest when I go. No, just suddenly I'm the highest of this group. I'm the highest of this group. Yeah. Every I have to I even I can't imagine the trips if I basin what I have to travel and I'm trying to stop trips. Go here, go here, go here, go here, go here, go here, go here not even not lighthouse. So people are inviting me to cancel. We pay for you. Come, we fly you instead. They fly me to come and sleep in a five star hotel, buy me business class ticket after they give me man to preach once. It's fantastic. I would have been with my nurses in the world. Ness, will you come and you see them with their Moody faces. Wow. So. Some of you there are certain Satans that are going to drown in the waters when you walk through. When you walk. Through there are certain devils. Yeah, one of the devils down drowned in my life was the devils of death. Yeah, I don't know. But God blessed me to dislike deaths. Yeah, he blessed me. It was 1. I don't know how it formed These days. I look and I realize, you know, I wrote a book, seven things, very important things in my life, things that I knew. And one of these is that I shouldn't owe anybody. And the church you shouldn't owe. As I walked through, I walked through, I, I said, I don't have anything. So I said OK. So when I look on. Television. I said Michael Jackson, he owes $300 million. This one owes. I said no, no, I'm not richer than Michael Jackson. I don't owe anybody. Because of am I not? Richer than Michael Jackson? Why you owe 300 million? I don't have anything. I don't owe anybody. Is in a. Negative. At least I'm at least at 0. I'm free. Free car free. Yeah, I have my car, use it for so many years. It doesn't. If it gives me problem, I will change it right when I spark it Chrome. It's working. Yeah. And I'm moving free monthly. I pay this, this, this, this. Oh, no room. And I'm moving. Yeah. I've used that same car for seven years. Yeah. And the road that I drive on was not designed to drive on. The bike is working. So there are certain things I have left behind. So now when I see people, I say, oh, you are so laden with heavy burdens, television you have to pay mortgage, sound system you have to pay mortgage, car you have to pay more. Even your clothes you are paying monthly, your clothes you are wearing and pay monthly, whatever. But God just. Blessed me to not think in those terms. Clothes, shoes. These are my shoes. This one. It has this. This I've been to more than you. It is more. It has travelled and seen more places than you. Yeah, more countries. That's all I have. I don't have, I don't have any other. Any other. This is all I have, Yeah. My. Trousers is the same one I I made it at Opera Square, say cheap in Ghana it's nothing. So is it? It's not all the things that are. Important to you that you spend a lot of your money. One guy, he got sick there, he was going to die. Then he told me he came, he came to the my office and he said look at my trousers. I bought. It then he mentioned the shop. Special shop in London. Falls special trousers. He said I have. So many in my wardrobe and I cannot work because I've lost all the weight. I'm going to die. They're all. The new, new ones, I said, hey, my one Opera Square 1 is working. It's fantastic. It has made me leave so many things behind and moving to real prosperity. Yeah, but anyway, for me I will recommend to you if God says this way, trust me, following God apart from. Everything that it. Does it kills Pharaoh and it kills the enemies of your life? Apart. From everything else it kills, poverty, it kills foolishness, weariness, everything that is negative in your life and complex. It kills. Apart from the fact that you work for God, you sacrifice, you build a tablet or whatever. There is an effect which we often don't see, and the effect is to kill certain things in your life. They go away. And this is one example, your Denzel sitting here, It's an example if not for anything in the world, if there was no reason for you to go to Germany, OK, Only for this your son, it's OK that you say, you say he's a preacher, a certain a certain devil. But you see, you may you may not know that. I remember when we were having meetings deciding whether what can we do to save his life? We should take him to Ghana. He said he will not go. There's that different things to save the boy, but. Just. Walking through the water have drowned all the Pharaohs and all the Chariots. Everything went down. It's. Fantastical, that is why. Well, God is sending you somewhere. God is taking you to the next level. Don't start. Calculating. What I will lose? Calculate what you will gain. I need some people for Germany, Swiss and German recombining now. Amen. Don't calculate, just go. Amen. Just go and God is going to bless you. How many will be glad to be see the end of Pharaoh, your life, bills, issues, You know something? One day I went for a camp in London and there was a lady sitting there just like how you are sitting here. She was a lawyer, she was working and I said to her, I said to her, I've changed your profession from that day. She said it was like the the law melted in her life. A lawyer in the UK, she goes to court, a real lawyer. So now when I call and say she's in court, she's talking to a judge, she's calling a judge this and that. All the time I look and say I've changed your profession. And then finally the profession went out of her and she came to say that she wants to, she wants to be free, she wants to go, she wants to serve God. I said fine and I sent her and her husband. First of all, she got my and I came for her wedding. And then I said, I said go, I'm sending you to the desert. So I sent her to Mali and her husband. Now after some time they were, they were very happy there. But I myself, I did not understand what I have done. So after some time I said come back to Ghana, I want you to work in Ghana. When they came back to Ghana, I realized that I have disappointed them because they said they have never been as happy in Mali in the 45°C they said as they were there, and I realized that these are true missionaries. They were so happy there that I'm. Even spoiling their life by. Bringing them to the headquarters to come and work. So this year I called and I said, you know, I'm going to send you again. I've seen it in my spirit. I don't know where. So as the year went by, Kungu came up and I sent a text to somebody. I will not mention his name. I didn't hear from the brother again, as if he's quarreled with me. There was silence in heaven. So I called her and her husband. I said, you know, I'm sending you to Congo. Yeah. Go to Democratic Republic of Congo. Yeah. With joy. London was UK was nothing. This was nothing. So many things drowned. You may not know. When I look at some of my mates, also doctors were in the same room with me. Medical doctors, so I mean they work, they earn a lot of money. Many of them cannot afford even to hire somebody to iron their shirts. And me, I have bankers, lawyers, I have 6 lawyers as work for me, 611 doctors. You see the secretaries and whatnot, bankers, I just say do this, do this. They are running around making tea for me. I look at myself, I said Prince Charles will not even get that. I have Do you know Prince Charles, Prince, Prince of Wales. Sometimes I say where is Prince of Wales should come so that we discuss and compare with as you walk through the waters, it drowns the enemy. So give yourself to God. Be wild. Did you hear me? Give yourself to God. Don't be afraid of dying. The day that you are When you are afraid of dying, the devil has already got you. When you are afraid of dying, the the serpent has already. Got you. Not that he is. You have prevented him from getting you. He has already got you in particular. That's what I've seen. You know, I read it to rejoin this book. He said when you are afraid of deception, you have already been deceived. Hey, it's like you are afraid, say, say if you want to be a prophet and you are afraid of deception, you are already deceived. And I realise it's true. When you are afraid, the devil has already got it, because the devil fear is the devil. You already has a foothold in your life. Are you there? OK Next 1 Chapter 8 Let him deny himself. Matthew 1624 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself. Take off his cross and follow me. Pastor Richard, I need eight people from you to come to Germany. Give me eight people now. Start writing their names. Yeah. Are you there? Yeah. We are not following our own ideas. We are following the Lord. We are following God. God is with us. God is guiding us by his Spirit. Amen. Allow God to use you. Break up Swiss people. I'm waiting to see the first good example. My young children there, if they go to Paris, oh, I'll be so happy with them. I'll come to Paris only because of you. Yeah, yeah. Go there and have a choir, make a church, preach, do well. A lot of young people that will listen to you, they will. They will come to your church because of your faces. How you young you look? Yeah. Speak the language they understand, Minister. Follow all the things we've taught you. Do something. Don't do it for. Pay. Don't do it for money. When you have money in your mind, you're ready. You have mixed your gods. You put some. Gods inside and the whole thing is changing. Amen. Let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. The places I used to go. Jimmy has stopped going to those places, isn't it? Stop going to discos longer. It's not just because he's elderly. You don't go to disco before nightclubs. Yeah. Music I used to listen to, you have to sacrifice it for God, isn't it? You cannot listen to the worldly music and do well. Worldly music has evil spirits in them. Most of these guys are satanically charged. Yes. When they start playing, they feel your flesh. The demons start to jump. Yeah. I tell you, you can't listen to it. Even jazz. You have to listen to Christian jazz. You see, the Bible says that Saul David played the harp and evil spirits went out of soul. So when you play even instrumental music, it can attract or remove evil spirits. So if you want. To do well spiritually, you have to sacrifice me. I really like music and one of them, I don't like music that is not good. I don't like it. It's what I want to hear the music in a way. So it sometimes makes me not play music because I I I want to hear proper sound system playing the thing interpreting the music very well. Do you? Are you there? I love music and in my days the people were the stars were Michael Jackson was one of the stars, Lionel Richie, the B ABBA and those people, those were there. I love music, I love Emilia of those this I don't know who the people are, but I have to leave all those things. It's part of the sacrifice for God. But sometimes when you sacrifice for God, he gives you so much more of something different that you ask yourself, what have you sacrificed? What have you sacrificed? That's why I said that for me, I don't know what I have sacrificed, but I'm serving God is rather a privilege. So I don't even want to talk about the sacrifice. It's the honor of serving the Lord. The friends I used to have. You cannot have certain friends if you want to do well. If you are in this chair, there are some people that cannot be friends with you. If you are a. Member of Lifehouse. You cannot be friends, be taking phone calls, be calling people who have left the church, saying negative things about me, negative things about your pastor, negative things about the church. How can such a person is your friend? So. Oh yeah, I knew him before I came to the church and I was this and that look. And when you are being disliked, it will cost you something when you are being loyal. That's why the Bible says, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God, not that friendship can lead to enmity. The friendship of the world is equal to enmity with God. So when we see your friend, it equals to enmity with this other side. I didn't say it. I'm saying I'm reading from the Bible. Friendship. With the world is enmity with God, and so to be a good Christian you need to sacrifice certain friends, sometimes churches, sometimes you have a friend, a friend who has a lot of boyfriends. She's just come from a disco. She sleeps with this person and she sleeps with and that person is your good friend. I will not advise you to have such a person as a friend. Don't have such a friend. Yeah, brother, you have a friend who is into drugs. Do not have. Such a person as a friend, he must not be your friend. But. I knew it before he was doing. Drugs I knew before I was. Doing you watch and see? And you airports and so on, if you watch, you see that there are certain people they stop besides people they don't. They know that drug dealers who are walking through, they know them already. And sometimes they catch them, they see them. You know this person is carrying that, but they are not interested in stopping the person. They want to know who the person's friends are. You keep keeping the person as your bosom friend before you realize you are. Your picture is at so many police stations. And you'll be. Saying you don't because they are looking for the person's friend. He's associated with this. Then he goes to this house, he's in this person, this. Meanwhile, you, you don't do that thing. But because of your association, you see that they are taking you. You are pizza. One day, one. Day somebody was telling me what person was working though he knew a lot about, he said, look, we know the real the people. How did we allow them to go through? We are looking. For the team and the boss. They have. When they scan your passport, they have things about you that they know, notes One guy was coming to Switzerland. He was crossing the border in the ALP somewhere. Behind the mountain. In the snow in the middle of the night, he was surprised. At midnight, far away, inside the mountains where the snow was falling to a cross of lonely border. There, there, no, there, they said aside, they just took him. You this, this, this, this, this, that. So many things before he was eventually released, he was surprised. So brothers and sisters, the friends I used to have, I have them no more. The music I used to listen to, I listen to it no more. What else don't you do know? The places I used to go, I go there. No. The dresses I used to wear, I wear them no more. But it's very expensive. It doesn't matter. You don't want to pay any price at all for God. There's no price at all. You want to pay for God. Is there nothing you can pay for God? For God's work, there must be something that you pay. Don't show us your breasts or your bottoms or your panties, OK? Keep them. Show them at the right place at the right time, to the right person. What do you think? You not say Amen. You not say. Amen, brothers, don't marry any girl who comes around showing you her breasts. Yeah, I want to advise you. They are very bad girls. They are strange. Women and one of the signs of a strange woman is her attire because she has the attire of a harlot, not that she's a harlot. She has the attack, and there's a certain type of attack. Even when they guess it, they can't stop. They always have that type of dressing. You see them always. You can't show you a pretty kind of breast. You see the certain kind of, I mean, we dress. It's all, it's a strange woman and she cannot even, yes, I think tightness, that thing, whatever, they can't. Oh yes. In fact, if you are a brother who is looking for a wife, these are When you see them, don't say what a beautiful You are a fool. You are a fool. If you are. Beautiful. You don't have to show us your breasts and all that. That's not what we made. Let us know that you are beautiful. Oh no. No, no, no, no. So that you see a brother God has really called him. I preached recently a message seven types of women that you shouldn't marry my guys going to Paris. Have you read all of you have you listened to that message on the Internet? None of you choices. It's called choices. Listen to it before you marry. Now you should listen to the on the Internet. Yeah. Yeah, brother, you are not. You're not yet married. Seven types of women you shouldn't marry. 1. Type is a woman that you haven't seen the evil in her yet, but the Bible says that. The Bible says the prudent man seeth the evil ahead and keepeth himself. Amen. Are you listening? Yeah. Oh, Maria. A strange woman, a beautiful lady. She doesn't have to show any. She can be up to here. Maybe she can cover her head. Only her eyes. Through her eyes you see that she's beautiful. Yeah, How do you think the Talibans are able to get wives? Leah. The Bible says she had tender eyes. She had. Tender eyes. Amen. Are you there? Yeah. So brothers and sisters, let God lead you to sacrifice all the rubbish in your life. One time I was encouraging people you need to go on the Internet and listen to the message in your office or wherever you are every day. Anytime. There's a message is where do you go to thathewouldknows.org and you go to where? Listen, listen. The current one. The. The very latest 1, isn't it? Yeah, you need to listen. Yeah. Is that the latest one? More after choices or choices. Yeah, you need to listen. OK, all of you, did you hear what I'm saying? It will change whenever I go to a place. I wish I can know the people that have been listening. It's easy to. See, you see, that's, that's what brings you closer. Yeah, that's what brings you closer. Because you'll be surprised that closeness is not by physically being together. I am closer to Pastor Richard who lives far away. I don't talk to him often. I'm closer to him who lives far away than people who work with me in Accra. But it's not by. Sending a. Text or by calling. There's that's what we see. One day I went to a certain town and I I started to follow them and I told the persons all of you are far, all of you, this, all of you. I told them. And so afterwards they asked me, Bishop, how do you know? How did you know? Because I told them things about that were true. So possibly. Just why? How do you know? I said. Well, I know. When I say with people who are far from me, I just know. When I meet people who are close to me, I just know. And many times I'll go to London and I find that people in London are listening to them messages and you see to him who has much have been given. So I feel like going there to give them more. Yeah. So you have to learn that habit. That's the habit of the ambassador. You are far back. You are near. You are far back. You are sympathetic to the the headquarters that sent you. If you people are going to ever go to Paris or Germany or do anything, you need to learn how to be far back near. It's not about oh, hello, how are you? The weather here is good. The weather here is bad. It's rain today. Tomorrow is going to snow and everything is OK. Bye, Bye. That's not what makes you close. It's. About. It's about being close. Jesus. Jesus spoke to his disciples. That's what made him close to his disciples. He said the words that I've shared with you, the Holy Spirit will bring to your remembrance. So I met a pastor who said, I mean, I don't know how to do Internet. I don't know this technology. He said. I don't know this technology. You have. To sacrifice and learn the new technology. Why? And today, that is not new. He's old and that guy, I think he's not even the not even the church or he's not even a pastor anymore, you know, But that even comes under closeness. The jobs I used to do. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your job. It's true. If Pastor Jimmy is to go to Congo, he's going to have to sacrifice his job. Yeah, maybe his pension, maybe he's trying to work for a certain number of years so that his pension would be a lot. I know all. Those things a certain a certain number of years, then the pension you get will be quite as hefty. Whatever. What about if you die before that time? Yeah, I won't have. A certain type of whatever so that after you finish the health insurance will still cover you after you have retired. Oh. God, all these. Things are there now I say go. All these calculations are there. Whatever, if this, this, this, this, this, I will be condemned to hospital in Kinshasa to die there. Kinshasa Hospital. Compare Kinshasa Hospital with Geneva Hospital. Bullet. Holes in the walls of the hospital. Yeah. Have I told you that story about somebody who was having an operation and a goat came into the theater in an African hospital? They were. They were doing operation surgery and a goat. Came to not it's. Not a fairy tale, Real. The girl was. He said. I cannot believe it. The good was passing through. You are I'm. Not joking. Oh, I'm telling you a real thing. And. The doctor was doing the operation was come from abroad and he was he said this is too much. I cannot, I cannot understand, I cannot comprehend it a good. Man, man, man. And it was. Passing through when they have kept somebody open. So if Pastor Jimmy is to sacrifice his job, sacrifice his health insurance. How many years have you worked for these people? Yes. WHO? 12 years. Yeah. You need to work more, you see, to get your pension and then to secure your health insurance. Yeah. To secure your health insurance so that in case of any sickness concern, this, that, that you can come and you'll be covered. That's when you go abroad. You'll be subject to so many dangerous things. African medicine days that. Yeah, in fact, it's fantastical. That is why I would say to the young people you see, if you take somebody like Pastor Jimmy, he already has 12 years. So if he can just do another eight years, you can get to 20 years. So quite substantial. Is it by you? You don't have anything because you are young. So you are just. Like me, when I came to myself and Bishop said we had nothing, We we just had potential to earn money, but actually we had nothing. We had potential but but nothing. It's easier to sacrifice your potential than to sacrifice something that looks like it's in your hand. Yeah. So when you are, the younger you are, you get it, the better it is for you to start working for God from that point, because you also grow in it. And as you grow in anything, it becomes better anyway. So these old layers, they are more difficult for them to sacrifice. Like even it would have been easier for him to obey the call of God and go to the mission field. He and Aqua years ago. Now it is far more complex because when he came, he didn't have any child. He was now coming to get married. Do you get it? He had no whatever. I don't know whether he has a mortgage now, whether he's paying for car monthly. Different things, complex work here, work here. Now he's building up his life insurance, his whatever, his this and that, All things, yeah. Yeah, it's more difficult. Now, so you see, that's why, that's why when I see when, when I ask her, what's his name? What's her name? Pedro, He said 25, huh? Did you say who is Rudy? And you are how old? 26. Yeah, 26. It's a good time. I got married. I was 26 when I got married. Yeah, you get it. These are as soon as you stay a bit longer, then everything starts to change and you'll be looking at me when I come. You'll not be so happy. Bishop. Bishop, you're going to use me as an example. Hey, Lord, are you there? Yeah. So to leave your job is also part of the sacrifice. Leave your job. Leave where you live, the country sometimes to sacrifice for God. These are the things you are, he says. Let him deny himself. So you have to leave sometimes the place that you are used to, sometimes not the nicest place in the world, but just what you are used to. Yeah. Sometimes it's not that God is calling you into a lesser place, but He's calling you into something you are not used to. Because if you have to go from Switzerland to Germany, you are not changing much. Its the same roads, same hospitals, same type of system, everything, but just changing what you are used to. You see its also a sacrifice because we love what we are used to. Yeah, because. Some people come to Ghana and say how can you be here? Are you happy? I go to my house. There's no road to my house. We've. Got like if you are if when you are sitting with me the car and I'm going to you have to hold whatever your your this side of your head car is the glass before I realize your head is outside the window. I'm talking about the just getting nearer to where I'm staying. Yeah. So if you don't take Ronaldo just now. And so I was like. Why are you happy? To say because I'm also used to it, this is something you got used to it, but I'm not attracted to stay here. Even though if I stayed here the road to my house would be like this, I'm also not used to it. So for me to also leave my house, it should also be a sacrifice because I'll also be leaving what I'm used to. So I don't. Blame you if you don't. You find it difficult to move anywhere because it's also a sacrifice of what you are used to. You may not even be sacrificing financially, but you, it's what you, what you are used to for years. What do you think? Yeah, that's why you would have thought that it would just be easy to say, oh, bring all those people from London or bring all those people, let them come. No, no, no, it's not like that. They also have to pay a price. Or be from Switzerland today. They also have to pay a price. Yeah. Just. Across the border, there's something that you pay, you stop the music. They have to say no to the music. Say no to the friends, say no to the places, say no to the job, say no to the language, the culture. Like if you come to Switzerland, God has sent you here. You come to Switzerland, you have to get used to the culture. Yeah. In your house, you flash the toilet after 10:00, they'll call the police. Because it's disturbing. It's disturbing. It's a fantastic place. The films you used to watch, you can't watch them no more. How many? I've watched some sexy films before. You will not raise your hand and you are in the church. Pastors you. Will not raise your hands. Ladies, how many have watched some of those sexy films before? Raise your hand. Not since I'm before. Before. Since you were born into the world. Since you were born into this world. Not yesterday. I don't mean yesterday night. Yesterday you are the camp. I mean in the world. Since you came to the world. How many? Sometimes you find it difficult to change the channel. Raise your hand if you find it difficult to take the tunnel. For game. And now you don't have to go far to watch it because it's on the main channels, normal television. It's not a special film. You don't have to pay if you make the mistake of scrolling. You see? Somebody jumping like a frog. What is? This what is that? What are you doing? What? Is that that through the grace and the power of God, you have to stop it? Amen. Do you understand the music you used to listen to, the places you used to go, the job used to, the place you used to live, the friends you used to have, the business you used to do? If you saw that the job used to the way you don't change it, you'd you'd become a homosexual. I know one guy who became homosexual by going to work at a club. Yeah, because after during the work, he was just serving as a waiter and then in a hotel and the the name will give him his card, a card, a card. And so I'll call you, call me. And he started like that until he became a homosexual. Oh, a Ghanaian. And and you see, when he got that job, he could not come to church. He could not do this because he's working at this time, because he should have stopped all those things for the Lord. And it will save him. Not only that, he save his marriage, save his, his, Yeah, yeah. Save so many things. Yeah, you see some of these. Homosexual. It reaches the point that they all wear pads. Campus because the physicist drops out. Yeah, it's loose. So when they see the physics drops out, so they have to wear a pad to keep it. What is this? It's an unfortunate thing. Do you understand? So all this in God is saving you from sometimes a job, just a job that you start or somebody can offers you money because homosexuality offer a lot of money. Wow. So I give my friends a lot of money, you know, and they offer you money so that you become their friend. I want to sleep with you. You'll be the woman. I'll be the man. Or you be the. Man, I'll be the woman Zimbo. OK, next one. What time is breakfast please? Is it now? What time do they have breakfast? So it's not yet breakfast time. Oh, OK. All right. You people thought I had gone into your breakfast time #9 Chapter 9, Take your room in the ministry. Amen. Elijah sacrificed. Chapter 9. Elijah sacrificed his oxen, didn't he? Isn't it? And what happened? He took his room, the Bible says in look at page 73. When Elijah went, he threw it, Amen. On he threw the mantle, all right. And he says, And Elijah, son of Shaphat, shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. Amen. How many know that every position in the ministry has a room? There's a room for it. There's a room. There's a room To occupy a certain room or a certain place, you need to pay a certain price. And Elijah had to sacrifice all his oxen. How many realized that sacrifice is a real foundation for the ministry? Yes. Pastor Jimmy would not have become the journal of us here if he had not paid the price to go to Basel all those years. If he had said to me, well, I want to be a drummer, I'll be very happy here in Geneva as a drummer, he would not have occupied the room of the general overseer to take over from Pastor Robert. While Pastor Robert was leaving, Pastor Jimmy was not known as any whatever. But I said, oh, Jimmy can be the general overseer. I said he can be the Geo of the whole of Switzerland, so let's make him a Geo. Everybody knew Pastor Robert. I said no, let's make Jimmy that. Because by paying the price of going to Basil for seven years, I could see something in this person. Yes. Are you understanding what I'm saying? So. So when somebody sacrifices oxen, sacrifice this does this does different things. You see that the person now qualifies to take the room. I sent this gentleman to Paris. And. Now I'm sending him to Johannesburg. But you see, I see that he can go to Johannesburg in full time because he went to Paris. When I told him to go to Paris, if he had not gone, I would not send him to Johannesburg. I'm waiting and watching. Yeah. Because you can talk, talk, talk, but unless you go, we don't know. So when you take a step and you make sacrifice, it qualifies. You for certain. Positions. And sometimes some people are not qualified for certain positions because they have never taken certain steps before. That's what I'm trying to help you understand. So sometimes when God is offering you the chance to sacrifice, offering you a position. So when Elijah was called, he was called sacrifice. The oxen sacrifice, He killed all of them. Yeah. And that qualified him to sit in Elijah's chair. So don't back away from sacrifice when God is leading you to sacrifice. Amen. Tell your neighbor you must take your room in the ministry. Now when you become a Christian leader, turn to page 82. When you become a Christian leader, right, you must sacrifice many things and once again, it is a foundation of the ministry. One of the things you sacrifice is time. Amen. What do you think? Yeah. Time to be at the camp. It sacrifices the time. I want to say time. I don't mean sacrifice of free time. Sacrifice work time. We have different times of time. Free time, air time, work time. I'm talking about time. How many of you sitting here today consider yourself to be idiots? Are you? Are you here because you are idiots? So will you be happy when those who are not here think of you as idiots? To be here on Monday and Tuesday? You see how some way it is. It's really some way for somebody to be thinking that, you know, I can't be here at such a time. I'm busy, I have to work, I have things to do. It's really some way for me to be standing here. It's like I have the time, but you don't have the time because it's like you are you are wise and I am a fool or the people who are sitting here are fool. Do you think of yourself as a fool? As your neighbor. Do you use how you see yourself? Do you see yourself as a fool? That's that's that is. How? Pastor Kweku, is that not how people make us feel? How many agree that people make us feel that way? Raise your hand. Yeah. It's like we are not serious. Maybe you don't have a good job or maybe you don't have any good job or any days or any of that or whatever. You see, that's why you are here. It's like you are aimless and you are whatever. And so that is why you are here. Yeah. Let's see nobody see, we must do better. Switzerland. Look at it. I mean, look at the player. So many people who were here last night are not here. It's like they cannot be here at this. I see that's not what we have in some other places. Yeah. It's unacceptable. You must, you see, to be a Christian leader, you must sacrifice. Time. And when I say time, I don't mean free time when you. Sacrifice. Free time. It's not a sacrifice because it was free anyway. Do you? Understand what I'm saying? It was free. We're not going to use it for anything. Saturday morning. You're just going to be there Sunday afternoon. You're just going to be there. So if you are there and you are church, I'm not paying any price of time. So this, you must learn it here to pay the price of time, whoever you are, real time, work time, sleep time, time. Are you listening? Yeah. It's very, very important that you grow up into that. And I'm asking you, Switzerland pastors, those of you who are here, you know, after this camp, I'm expecting you to sit down and evaluate yourselves, you know, and change all those things. Yeah. We shouldn't hear. We shouldn't hear from such a thing again. I. Don't want to hear of such attitudes. Yeah, I hear such. Attitude again. If there is. A. If there is a camp at short. Notice. Anybody's coming here, Pastor Richard, whatever. You must sacrifice the time. And that is without explaining to us all the prices you've paid because? There. Is a message to those of us who are here that we don't have anything to do, we don't have a good job, we don't have whatever and that is why we are here. And it's like. You they are wise and they are very principled. They know the time they'll take their holidays and they'll take their time off and they don't want the days that they'll take off. But we. We are the fool. That's why we are here. That's the message that is sent. And I doubt that message and I test it. I reject it absolutely. It's rubbish. You what you keep following. Money. The money will evaporate in your eyes. You will see. You will be here, Switzerland, for years. When you leave this place, you'll be poorer than when you came. You'll be surprised. You watch and see the money that you have worshipped and the money that you have earned above God. It would evaporate before your very eyes. You will see you. You wait and see. You wish you would catch this place. You say I wish I never came here. You when? Asked Solomon when he saw his father sleeping with Bathsheba and he tried to live a life to avoid certainty. By the time he finished, he decided that when I see a woman, I will marry her immediately so that I avoid the problem that David had with Bathsheba of going to sleep with somebody's wife. So any woman that he saw, he married until he had married 1000 and the same woman caused him to fall. You may never know how a particular problem will come to you. So you wait and see. You think you are preserving your life, that you are wise. We are fools. We are fools, that's why we are here. How many if you agree with me And you think that those who are not here are telling those of us who are here that number one, we don't have good jobs #2 we maybe we don't have a job at all #3 we don't have much to do #4 They are wise #5 They know the days that they are going to take off as holiday and they don't want to compromise. How many agree that that message? If you think so, stand up. If you think that that's the message they are sending to you. Not to me, but to you. To you who have come, you who are here, this is the message. They are more. Organized than principal. Yeah, that's the meaning. That's the meaning. You see, everything you do has an unspoken message in it. Yeah, whether you like it or not, it's a message. It's. A message. It's not said with words, but it's a message. Look, anybody who comes after this morning, when the person comes, arrest the person and say you, I hear this, what you said about me said I don't have a job. I hear you say I don't have a job. I'm not wise. I've taken days off. I don't know what I'm doing. Is that what you said? And we are. Is that what you said? You will, I will let you arrest all of them together. Now, when they are all sitting down quietly, we bring them to the front. Yeah. And then we will ask them questions. It's like, yes. It's like we, we are fools. They are. They are wise. They they are going to secure whatever you see. And I'm just saying that ask for God. Then when you lift him up and you make him great. Before you said because you have loved me, you have set, you have set me on high. You have honored me. I will honor you. I'll set you on high with long life. I will satisfy you, God. He God, he sees when you give him respect. Did you hear me? I said. God sees when you give him respect, and you place him very high. He sees when you respect him. He sees when. You value him. Yes, and. And what you value, what you value, it always comes to you. I I go. To place where I sense I'm valued, I sense that I'm loved. Yeah. I sense that I'm. Loved and I'm valued. One day I went to preach somewhere. I preached with all my heart. And when I finished, it's OK, it's OK. When I finished, they gave me a little envelope and I was in my car and I was going. But when I got in my car, I said to myself, I will not come to this church again. Yeah. Because I felt that they did not value me and did not value all that I have. And, and it has been proved because they've never invited me again. And they didn't really value and not only they don't know, invite me again, but they became they become some way. So when I sat in the car, I said, oh, this guy, these guys, I will not come here again. No, I sat in the car and I was going to say no. And you feel it because I remember I did preach, did everything with all my heart. And you just sense and feel these people don't really value what you are doing. That's why whenever I have a visiting preacher, I always wanted to value the person because the person can sense your ministry is really like, it's not even by the money. Sometimes the money shows that you don't value the person, but sometimes it's not even the money. You may give the person a lot of money, but. You, you, you don't like the person. You don't really value what you feel, that you're just finding time for the program to be over. Yeah. And when you start travelling, you always see the different feelings. Yeah. Raven is suicide. What did he say? He said it. He told us when he came to Zurich. And then we we saw him off at the airport. He said to us, that lighthouse, we value him so much. Anytime Bishop tells him to come, he'll come back. Amen. Yeah. Because there's no point in having somebody. You don't value the person because he can't. You see, it's spiritual. You feel it. You feel it Now? If I'm here and it's like everybody has been able to leave their job and they're all here, how don't you think I'll have that feeling of how valuable and how important it is, how the people see and I feel, I feel bad not to come. Do you see? Yeah, Yeah. No. So we have to. We have to. Kill this kind of thing. I'm saying the things clearly. I'm just telling you. Say what? What you don't know is that sometimes somebody's on one side is explaining what it is like. Even you have told you how the people are talking about you in their heads. You are surprised, isn't it? You're surprised that it was not only a message about me, but it's a message about your foolishness that you are fools to come and sit here at this time. He was surprised that it was also an insult to you. It's a message. Are you there? So please kill it so that God's servants are welcome here. And when we talk about Godsever, we're talking about camps. We're talking about. Time, quality time, if you think in the ministry, I especially, I used to think ministry was only Sunday Zoo. But as I grew, I realized, I remember Archbishop Peter Hosa, 2 weeks before he died, he came to Ghana and he prayed for some people. You know, you know what? He came Monday morning. Monday. Morning. Yeah, Monday. Morning he came to a church, a lady who had been his secretary before in Nigeria, he came to her church and I went there Monday morning and he dedicated the church. The whole church was full. Crowds outside Monday first thing in the morning. Because a. Great man of God, he works on Mondays, Tuesdays, where as I'm going from here. I've been at a program since Thursday. I've been in South Africa Friday and I flew here straight. I've come into a program Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and from here straight I'm going to Scotland, so a child that has invited me and from there I'm going back to South Africa. Yeah. That's my, that's my program. There's no, there's no like I'm going for holiday here for. So when I finish here, I'm going to rest. And then after that, there's nothing like that. I'm just going one to another like that. I never have to use weekends. Yeah. When is the Paris? Yeah. And when I finish South Africa, I come back to Ghana. When I arrive in Ghana, I'm going to Salaga. I'll be there for seven days in the north of Ghana for a crusade. And when I finish, I come, I go to Nigeria. And from Nigeria to Paris, to a church in Paris. I mean, it's up. If you think I'm going to. Get a very nice weekend to come here. When is that weekend? I can't have added this to because I was coming from South Africa and I can join it to this. So. What I'm saying I'm. Explaining something please don't clap. Don't clap. I'm explaining something that if you don't grow up, you understand in your mentality and sit up and value that God has been, has blessed us. Because at the beginning of the day I wrote all these places I want to have come. I've been able to have only one. This is the only second time I've been able to have to squeeze it in. And then you come and see so many of the pastors, they are not here. And when we rebuke, you cry, you are annoyed. We are not annoyed, Bishop. Rebuke. Why we say Christ? Like I'm talking too much. I. Don't understand what is being said. It's wrong. It is. Wrong and. Not. Only am I just? Talking about it, but we are going to act on it. I tell. You. We are. Sucking pastors who do not comply, who do not come for camps. You cannot be a pastor in Switzerland again. I. Prefer these young guys? Rudiel, come, all of you come. Be my pastors. Come. Come here. Marry children. All of you come. You'll be pastors in the churches. Yeah. Stand here. You see, the grown-ups cannot do it. All of you be pastors. Why not? Father, thank you for releasing the young people to come and do the church work in the name of Jesus. Amen. Yeah. Be pastors. So because we have to pay you, we have to beg you. We have to beg you to come. We have to beg you to come for meeting. We have to cry. Why don't you come? You are so big, so important. You have to leave your chairmanship, your big jobs, your whatever to come here. Oh, we are tired of it, I said. We are tired of all that nonsense. It's. Unacceptable because we have all worked before. Recently there was. Somebody in our. In our workplace, he wanted his mother was not well. He needed some help. He needed some time, we gave him. Time off because everything that that you. Want really exact or whatever permission for you can be given if you can ask? It's a normal compassionate leave. This leave a sick leave leave for whatever this emergency whatever. Is it not true? It's true. Mr. Osaka, I do not think that I can accept to be here on Tuesday morning at 9:00. And a percentage of the pastors in Switzerland are not here. I cannot accept it. And after this, I'm going to have a meeting about this. Yeah. I prefer to have these children as pastors. I will not accept them as pastors. I'm serious. Yeah. I cannot accept it because you people should know how many want somebody to insult you, to tell you that you are. You are silly. That's why you can. You are daft. You think these people are whatever. That's why Jesus said the Kingdom of God belongs to the children. I cannot accept it. I cannot accept it as I preach. The longer I speak this morning, the more silly I feel. The more silly it's like you have fool to come and stand here and be shouting and and screaming and preaching. But most of the people are not here. Yeah. So as I look at that, I feel happy to myself. I'm. I'm leaving tomorrow. Tomorrow. No, I'm out of here. You see, that's the feeling that your father should not have that feeling. I should rather have a feeling that, oh, I'll finish, I'll stay at there and then strap there, whatever. But it's like the people, it's like you are bothered to them so they're faster in and fast out, in and out as fast as possible. Oh, and that is what brings about a distortion and a severe reduction in your spiritual and mental capacities because you are totally cut off from things that will have brought light to your life. You're cut off. OK, sit down. God bless you young people. Now John chapter 87 verse 87 verse page 87. Therefore. Does my Father love me? John 1017 Because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No man taken it for me, but I lay down of myself. Now God wants us to lay down things of ourselves. You need to come for camps and such programs. You get it of your own accord. Not that you are forced to come or pay tithes. Not that you are forced to pay tithes. That's what. Jesus said no one is. Taking it from me, I am giving it myself. I. Am giving it myself and we need to. Have program where it's not somebody's for calling you are you coming? Are not coming, but you yourself are laying it down yourself. That's what. Jesus. Is explaining, he said. No one is taking my life. I am laying it down because when you read a secular history, some people claim that they murdered Jesus. But you see, he. Did not murder him, he gave his life. That's the difference. That's the difference between something that if I come to you and I say give me 100 francs, and you of your own accord, give me 100 francs. These are two different things. And I prophecy to you, if you don't give it, you lose it. It's not that I've seen you. That's the name of the chapter. Give it or lose it. Many of the things that you don't want to give, you will lose them anyway. Jesus, probably. If he had not given up, his life would have died anyway. Because to have somebody who claims to be God moving around in town, very dangerous in the Jewish, Jews and Muslims, they don't like those things. There's only one God, Jews and Muslims. That's why Muslims are almost like an agent of not of Christianity, but they of, of there's one God. They cannot, they do not accept where there's mostly, they don't accept idols. Muslims do not accept other gods. There is only one God as far as and his name is Allah. And. Christianity and Jew you should. There's only one God. There is nothing like 2 gods or three gods. A very dangerous thing to say. You understand of God is very dangerous in Jewish land or in an Islamic land. Do you get it? So many things that you think you are not going to lose. In the end you will lose it anyway, so it's better. That you give it. One day somebody was owing some money and I said just dash the people so that it becomes a seat because they won't pay anyway. They will not pay you back. So just decide I'm going to swear sins, say I bless you so that you get some blessing and then they will not pay to allow it's a loss. Chapter 12. Sacrifice brings the glory. Amen. Bible says in Second Kings Solomon sacrificed so many animals, isn't it? Can you see the vest there? Huh. Along vest, the Second Corinthians chapter 5, there's one to 14, but at the end of the vest there somewhere at the very end, it says that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the House of the Lord, so that the priest could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the House of God. Amen, Amen, Amen. Are you listening? Yes, the glory of the Lord. And why did the glory of the Lord fill that? Because Solomon sacrificed thousands of goats. So the more. Sacrifice there is, the more glory is released into the Church of God, and that's why there has been a certain beauty in Lighthouse Chapel in Switzerland. Because a lot. Of Lay. Pastors have sacrificed a lot of things for the churches to exist. So when you are now coming to take away the sacrifice, take away the daily sacrifice, stop the sacrifice, you are actually taking away the beauty and the glory of the Church. That's what you are. Taking away. They're taking. Away the beauty glory. Means beauty if you don't know stand up, you stand up. What's your name? Jean. So if she's beautiful, that's her glory. The glory of Jean is the beauty of Jean. So if I'm. Taking away the. The glory from her means I'm taking away what makes her nice. I'm taking away what makes her beautiful. That Has anybody asked you to marry? Who is that her? Your name is what? John and. John, John John John, John the Baptist. So if I. Take away her, it's like. That's why they say that the woman's hair is her beauty. If you take away her hair now, make her totally bald, you see that I've taken away something that makes her beautiful. And that's, that's, that's what sacrifices, sacrifices like our hair. And our. Earrings and our The beauty of a church is the sacrifice in the church. So when Solomon sacrificed this woman, there was so much glory that the people couldn't even stand. That's that's that's it. That's it. So much beauty and glory, so much sacrifice. So when you come to the foundation of the glory. And you come and. Say this, this, this percentage. Don't come. Don't come to camp. Don't come on Monday. Don't come on Tuesday. Explain why. You're not here. Give reasons oh that you are taking away. Taking away the. Very beauty of the church. One day I watch a film called Unforgiving, Unforgiving. In that film there was a lady who was a prostitute and she was with other lady prostitutes. They were working at a place and when she was sleeping with one of the customers, she made a comment about the man. She said something about the man and laughed at the man and the man grew wild in the room. I'm sure it's based on a true story. And he took a knife and started attacking. He was, he was even undressed instead of attacking the lady. And he took a knife and he cut, cut, he shot and he cut her face like that. He cut her face like that. And some people even came in, shot and they took this, they arrested the guy. Now the whole film is based on only that thing. When they took the girl, the other prostitutes and they sat by her, her whole face was covered with blood. They cleaned her face and they were talking. Then they were they were there to see what was going to happen. So then they caught the two guys. They were adding 22 guys and they tied them and then the the ladies killed the chief of the prostitute, the girls, she came to see what they were coming to do to the guy. So they talked. To the guy and they said they're going to whip him then the lady shouted whip him. You're only going to whip this guy for what he has done. Just cut my face now I cannot work again. I mean she was not the one she was upstairs in the being treated, but the mother of the prostitutes. She said you're only going to whip him. Then the owner of the prostitutes, I think the main, the manager of the place said that I brought this girl as a contract. I've paid so much money for her to be here. You have cut her face. Now she cannot wait. Nobody would like to sleep with her. You have taken away her glory, her beauty, only weeping. Then in the end they talked and it's OK. You must pay three horses, Pay 3. Those days, Cowboys and Indians said give three horses three horses. That's what the woman said. And she went upstairs. They sat with the other ladies and they said this is what these guys are doing. They have taken away our sister's beauty, her glory, her ability to work. Everything they've taken. It away and they put together say how much do you have? I have 200. I have hundreds. I have 100. They put together $1000 in those days and they went to hire an assassin, Clint Eastwood. He was the answer. They went to hire him. To come. By the time the film finishes, the number of people that were killed because of that in the 1st 2 minutes of the film is when they cut of the glory of the woman and the kind of wiki. That's why they call the film unforgiving. Yeah, unforgiving because they cut the woman's beauty by the time they hope the number of people that died because of that thing. And that's what is happening here. Somebody wants to come and cut off what makes this place nice? Yes. What gives Lighthouse Chapel its beauty and its glory? Pastor Richard had a daughter. You can make a convention in Leeds. He was not even. There himself, he's not even there more than 1000 women all these. People come from. So many lighthouse to everybody wearing yellow and black. What a beautiful. Thing where do you think all these people are from? Do you think there are 100 pastors that are being paid anything? It's all labours. That's the beauty of our church. Women are pastors, men are pastors, students are pastors. Give everybody a chance and nobody's baby. Just work for the Lord. This what you? Want to take away? You've brought your knife to come in. Cat, cat, cat, cat. Can you imagine? John is standing here and I take out my Swiss knife and I Cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat. Forgive me. I'm forgiven. How many will agree that we shall not forgive anybody who is trying to take away our beauty? We shall not forgive you. We shall hire an assassin. A spiritual assassin. It's a foundational. It's a. Major foundation of all that we are and you see this lady she depended on her beauty and they said they said nobody like an ugly look and after when? When the film went on her. Face was healed. You see the lines, lines, lines, lines, lines like that all on her face. Nobody, nobody wanted just she just stays alone. When people come, they have to choose all the of the of the girl. They don't choose her because the beauty is gone, the glory is gone. So sacrifice is the thing that leads to the glory. When you take it away, you are taking away our very niceness and very. Actual beauty. Source of our beauty. We can't even sacrifice Tuesday morning to be here and even when you come we will feel so much how you are tired and how the pressure you have been under to be here. We even feel it by your even presence. We. Feel how much we have bothered you, and as we are here without you, we feel how foolish we are. It's like we don't have sense. That's why we have come. We are. We are the fools in the church. When you come you feel the the pressure. It's like a a busy and tired person who has come to, to, to, to, to, to meet with fools who don't have anything to do. It's like when they come in the evening, it's only the one they hear in the evening that's important. So what we are saying in the morning is rubbish. So my friends, you know I am assigning you but. If you are. Now that you see your pastor, you sacrifice. You don't sacrifice. You can't be my pastor. You can't be my pastor again. I don't. I don't like to have such a pastor. There's no glory. I'm not saying you pay tithes. You ask the. Pastor, you pay tithes. Before you are. Preaching to us, Charlie, if you don't pay tithes, don't preach to us all. We don't like such things, Bishop came and told us. Yeah, you have come with your Swiss knife to come and cut our face and take away our beauty. And the. Glory of the church, Nicopa. Are we going to accept it? There's no. Basis. No reason why we don't accept it. I don't accept that Donna is not here. I don't accept it. I can't. Accept. I refill. Don't give me any reason you give me is like putting feces on. You go to the toilet, you put your feces on and you bring it to me and say, Bishop, here are some feces you can read. I don't want to. I don't want to see it. I don't accept it, Jimmy. I don't accept Anita is not here. I don't accept it. It's like you put a toilet on a paper and say, Bishop here. Welcome to Geneva. Yes, Yes. Toilets from Anita. Here is toilets from Donut. Here is toilets from this hand. These are all the reasons why they are not here. I should look at all your your rubbish. I don't accept it. I don't. Accept it. I don't accept that person. Afraid it's not here. I don't accept it. You are here as his members. You watch. Watch what will happen now. Watch it. We are fools, you see. We are. That's why we are here. We are idiots. Yeah, you can't say when you say idiot, but it is idiot. You see one day a certain policeman, he went to, he went to some, some, some couple were quarreling in their house in London. The Nigerian couple, very big lady. So they called this guy and then they called this other policeman. So they went to the house. When he got there, the white policeman he was asking. What is happening? Why this or not? And the Nigerian woman, she told her about idiots, Idiots. Every sentence. She said idiot, she said idiot, are you married? She has. Are you married? She asked the policeman, are you my idiot? Walk out of here, do you know? When did you? Do you know my age? How old are you? Idiot is an idiot. Idiot, idiot, idiot. The policeman. But he became red. Idiot, idiot. You know how I am. Idiot. When are you married? Idiot, You know my age. Idiot Can't get out of this. Idiot. Every sentence. Idiot, Idiot, Idiot, idiot, idiot. And he left. His face was red. Idiot, that's how I feel as I'm here. Every sentence I feel, you are saying idiot, don't you feel the same also every every minute you stay here, somebody say idiot, idiot, you are here, idiot, idiot. And the Nigerian woman was very big. She. Look at the guy. Idiot, What you want, you have. Children. Idiot. Are you married? Idiot? You know when. I. Got married, idiot. Fuck out of. My house idiot. Hey, we shall not allow anybody to say idiot to us again, no. No idiots. Amen. And finally you have blessings on earth and blessings in heaven. That's the last chapter. Amen. You shall receive a hundredfold after he said There is no man that has left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake, but he shall receive a hundredfold now on this earth and in their life to come eternal life. Wow. So God's rewards for sacrifice, our blessings on this earth. And. Blessings in heaven, Amen. I want to promise all of you who are going to give up those of you who are, God forbid, idiots who have come here, you are not idiots in Jesus name. Although some people. Are trying to tell us that we are idiots, but I tell you, you are going to be blessed in heaven and you're also going to be blessed on earth and one day people are going to be jealous of you because of how God has blessed you and they will even accuse you of being a thief because of the blessings will be so much. Through the. Door. They will be coming through the door and they'll be coming to the windows. They'll come from upstairs and they'll come from underground. They'll be creeping all over you. The blessings of the Lord, blessings in heaven, and blessings on earth. God will multiply everything that you have in your hand. Instead of decreasing, it shall increase in the name of Jesus, in the name of he who sent His Son to come to this world to die on a cross in His name. Father, let this blessing be upon your people with great strength. Let them March forward with the principles of sacrifice and give up everything for you. May Pharaoh die in the waters, may the agents of Pharaoh die in the river, in the sea, may they die, and may they be seen no more as we serve you and as we follow you, in the name of Jesus. And everybody said Amen, Hallelujah. All right. OK. OK, good. Good. After after breakfast, we come back. 11:00 Is it a good time? OK, 11:00 So you have a long time for breakfast. Everything. Do whatever you want. OK, it's 915 now. OK, 11:00 we start again. Yeah.
