Welcome to track #3 of if you love the Lord. Wow. OK, OK, OK, good. Paul called to be an apostle through Jesus Christ, An apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God. Amen. Through the will of God unto the Church of God, which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be Saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours. Amen. Paul was called to be an apostle. Now this is another example of what I was talking about, the keys to prosperity. You see many people preach and teach, but not so many are really apostles. Really pastors, really teachers are really prophets. Some people have a few dreams, they call themselves prophets. Some people have a few visions and they say they are prophets, but really what they are experiencing is just the presence of the Holy Spirit in their life. But it's not their calling. So to be any of these things, God has to actually call you. Being something is not what you call it. If I call myself prophet doesn't make me a prophet. If I stand and say my name is Hamburger Dag, it doesn't make me a hamburger. Do you understand? I can call myself hamburger for 1000 years. I don't turn it to a hamburger. Do you understand? So calling yourself an apostle, a prophet, or a pastor or even me appointing you as a pastor doesn't make you a pastor. It is recognition within our own human weak, limited institutions that we appoint someone, Say you are a pastor. I mean that people have appointed as pastors who I after I appointed them, I realized I'd made a mistake. I mean, because I'm a human being and I can't expect to get 100 / 100 all the time. You get often 100 / 100. Most of our judgment is not 100 / 100. So why? Why are you angry with me? You get it. So these great positions, they come by the will of God. You can't force it, but as you serve God, you, you discover what you are. Look at me. God has used me to establish more than 1000 churches. I don't call myself apostle back, neither do I even call myself an apostle. Percy. Maybe that is what I am, but it's not. It doesn't really matter. Do you understand? Yeah, because I want to see Jesus, which I haven't seen yet. It's a big problem. Do you understand? For me? So whether people see you as A or B, it doesn't matter. But by the will of God, what God has called you to become, you shall become in the name of Jesus, Amen. Now many are called, the Bible says I believe many people are called to be apostles and pastors, teachers, evangelists, but many do not want it. We are all going to get in heaven and find people who are called to do great things. The Thrones of heaven would be filled if everybody had obeyed the call. But many are called, but few get chosen. Because there is a big difference between many being called and few being chosen because few respond to the call. Even amongst all of you are those people I've been having camps with you. Out of the many, many, many, many, we have invested powerful camps after camp, after camp, after camp in Ghana for years. I don't have any camp, only without lose. But out of those many calls and many camps, all of them having the same drive, few have actually responded and giving themselves compared to the numbers that came. It's true and there are a lot of people who say something in first year, another thing in second year and a different thing altogether in 3rd year and in fourth year they don't remember saying anything. So these days I prefer to wait and see. I have a more wait and see approach. It's just like when somebody's getting married. All the boys, especially the girls. We promise you. Oh, I'll do this. I'll do this. She's waiting for power. When she wears the ring, that's when we really see what you are made of. Yeah. But before then, you see them humble, smiling, meek, gentle. Nobody knows when she finally stands by you. You'll be surprised. Shabbaya, many are called. May you become the apostle that God has called you to be. Some of you have got 70 churches within you. If you will obey God, all the churches will come forth. Some of you have 100 churches. Some of you have two churches. Some of you have one church. I don't know. God knows, and if you obey that call according to the will of God, ah, you'll be blessed. Sit down. Some years ago I said I was called and I was a medical student. Now there was a church in a crown with a powerful pastor and a powerful congregation, which was so large that people were now coming to 1st and 2nd service. And I don't know if there was a third service, but the church was so big that there were now canopies. Canopies were made outside so that yeah, because the church auditorium could not contain these people. Now when I started my church in a corner in Kolebu Teaching Hospital, the pastor of that church and his associates made some remarks from their mighty mega powerful church that some people instead of concentrating on their studies, they say they are pastors and they are called. How can they be called? But I didn't recognize the seriousness of such remarks. I thought that it was harmless. So I sent my assistant to go and invite one of them to come and preach in our baby, the old Chick Church. When you went as my envoy, ambassador, you must be careful of whom you sent. When I sent him, when he called there, they said sit down, sit down, what are you people doing there? Then they started explaining to him that look, when somebody is not called and he's doing something, it will never work and that it is a very dangerous thing. And then they also explained to him that it is these little foxes that are in the ministry that are spoiling the vine. The vine of ministry, the vine of the church is being supported by the little foxes, including me little fox that I didn't know I had become a little fox. So when my and then to round it up the the because that one of the the person that we are inviting, he said that he had been coming before he used to come when we were just a fellowship. But he just told him anyway, I cannot come because I do not anymore sow amongst tones. I don't sow amongst tones anymore. So when my assistant came back, I said, how was the invitation? I sent you to invite. And he said, oh, it looks like there are some difficulties. I said, what difficulties? They cannot come. Then he told me about the little foxes. Then he told me about the tones. And I also heard about the fact that I was not concentrating on my side. I say I'm called. After some time, the pastor that I had sent to go and call and invite, I realized that he was affected by that message because they were they were putting pressure. They told him that he should rather come and join them. And I realized that now he was affected. Not only was he affected, but my church members were affected because they were a group. All of them were suspicious about whether I was genuinely called because when you see my face in those days like a Palestinian terrorist, very lean. In fact, when I saw my picture, I understood all their problems. But you see, that is why I keep on explaining to you that a minister must be sure about the will of God. You have to learn. That is why we have this book, The Art of Hearing. You must learn how to distinguish the voice of God and to know. In spite of all these persecutions, I still persisted and said that it is the will of God for me to be a pastor. I went to the church and I announced in the church that I'm a pastor. From today, don't call me Brother dad again, call me Pastor Dad. I had no one to introduce me. As we introduce pastors at ISI Homecoming, we say this not pastor is not pastor. People don't know what has been done for them because I didn't have it for me. As we've been introducing, people say you are not a pastor because I say so. People recognize they don't ask questions about your calling, but my calling was questioned. But you must be sure about the will of God, whether God has called you or not, so that you fulfill his calling. My members were now confused about my when I came to PRIT, they were assessing my calling, the teaching, the teaching style that I move up and down. I don't stand in one place. Am I called? Am I not called? They were assessing me Sunday after Sunday about my calling. That's why I say that you better be sure one day asserting brother was good to marry a certain plump sister or somebody will say plumpy. There's nothing like plumpy plump, but let's call her plumpy. I said to the brother. I said look, look at the girl. Very well. I don't want you to come one day and tell me that I don't like her again because she's too fat. I don't want to hear that. Look at it. Well, if you like, choose, but don't say you didn't see it. Well, I'm talking about being sure of the call of God so that when the fire falls on you, you can survive. Shabbaya fire was falling on me because I said I'm called to be a pastor. My members, they were now questioning my calling. All of them people that I LED to Christ in in the morning I went to preach. I said give your life, come down, come downstairs. Nursing house in the morning 5 AMI Sung and I preached and I said come, if you want to give your life, calm down. I'm standing here. I stood outside the girls dormitory in the nursing training school. They came out. I said bow down your heads, let us pray. They gave their lives to Christ and they were in the church. I had promise. I laid house on there. They were now speaking in town, all of them. Now these people who came out of their room downstairs and I LED them to Christ and on whom I laid hands were now questioning whether I was called. It's true. So if God has called you, you better be sure, because if he has not called you and you go even when He has called you, it's not easy. You will be tested. You now you run out with the call. You say that this call in there, it will be better that I put it aside for the time being. You have to be ready to survive the firestorm that is going to come when you rise up and you say count me as one of the people that are called. Count me. Expect the firestorm. Poor an apostle, by the will of God, not by the will of man. By the will, I am sure that is by the will of God. You must have that conviction that God has called you, that God has sent you, that God wants you, and you must follow the calling. You must obey the calling of your life. You cannot afford not to obey it. Paul, an apostle by the will of God, whether my members believe I am called or not, whether my associate believe I am telling to a fox or whether some other pastor in another church believes I am a fox, God has come in as fast and concerned. It is the will of God for me to stand in my room. Whether you have seen a medical student preaching before, you haven't seen one before. That is your your problem. It's not my problem and I'm going to follow my calling. Yeah, that's how come I'm here now. That's how come I'm here. That's how can some of these people hardly relate with that because they cannot believe that the fox, the fox which was spoiling the vibe has grown up to become a pastor of over 1000 churches. They can't believe that the fox, they call me a fox and God call me a pastor. That is why when I see a young man who says God has come, I support him, I help them. You call me a fox, God called me a pastor. God knows what I am. God knows what he has called me to do. It's not what you say I am, say the little foxes. So I asked him what is the meaning of that fox that is going to the fact who is the force? And I don't understand the revelation. It is only now that I'm even understanding the revelation. I'm now understanding that I was a force and that my presence was spoiling the Church of God. It's now that I'm understanding how I am a force. It's like something that is not supposed to be there, but it is there and it works underground and destroys everything. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So, my brother, my sister, you must tune your mind and your heart to follow the will of the Lord as the Lord has given you his calling. Charlie, there is no man. There is no woman. There is no mother, no father. There is no uncle age. There is no relative that must stand between you and the hope of your calling. There is nothing. There's nobody. There's no criticism, there's no downplaying of who you are. There's no insult of who you are of your life. There's no insult of your life that degrading, derogatory, denigrating remarks that can change the fact when God says you are called. One guy, he saw me, he said when I see that I feel sick just because I was there. I've started a church when I see that I feel sick. It is today that I've understood that I was a fox. Are you listening? So be sure that the will of God, It doesn't mean that men will see, man will say yes, man will applaud, man will appreciate, man will say it's true. No, the will of God is something that it must be. That's why I said don't even a man of God, because is it sometimes a man of God doesn't even recognize your colleague. Many of the people who work for me, I often tell them I didn't choose you because if God who chooses everybody, God knows everybody's gift. I wouldn't have chosen Claudia to come and work for me. When I saw her, she said she want to work out. OK, fine. I wouldn't have chosen her. God is the one who chooses his people. God is the best chooser. So my God is just be watching and waiting before you realize. You see that? Oh, I see. Oh, I realize, oh, that's why I defend pastors. If a pastor was you see, I'll be the champion there. I've been there. I tell you where they say you are. You are this. You are fox. You are a fox, you are a thorn. So I don't so amongst thorns. So we are the thorns inviting you to come and sow your seed among us. Prickles and thorns, small boy, it's amazing. So be careful when God has called you. God looks at you differently from how people look. People look at this, look at small girl, look at short, short, it's a tall. Everybody have some words, some denigrating, derogating, degrading down plain trivializing your your existence, a God. He looks at you to a different eye and he say, you know, come come, you come, you come. And before you realize you are someone people can't even believe it. But God calls and he chooses and he sends. Hey, may your calling, may your calling, may your calling never be buried because of somebody's somebody's insult. Somebody says something about you. What may your calling never be quenched because of somebody's romance? God has a different type of eye, different type of love eyes that he sees you through. When he sees you through those eyes, people look at you and say he's a fox with a tail. How do you see my tail? And some people see that have a tail. It is today that I have understood that I have a tail. But I thank God for those love eyes. Sit down. I wake up in the morning and look into a mirror. And then I look into your love eyes. You see me through your love eyes, and beauty is what you see in me, 'cause you wash me with those tears falling from your love eyes. All the people see is the part of me that's showing. They think that's the way I'll always be. Oh, but you look ahead to the day I'm full grown and there's nothing but beauty and me. But then I look into your love eyes. You see me through your love eyes and beauty is what you see in me because you wash me with those tears falling around your love eyes. I've had it said that love is flying, but I know that just ain't true because love can leave the past behind. Lord, I want to look like you, and so I look into your love eyes. You see me through your love eyes, and beauty is what you see in me because you wash me with those tears falling from your love eyes, Your love eyes, your love eyes, your love eyes, your love eyes. You wash me with those teeth falling from your love eyes. I wake up in the morning, look into a mirror. The same old face is staring back at me. Then I cry, 'cause I told him to get any mirror to the person I wish I could be. But then I look into your love eyes. You see me through your love of eyes and beauty is what you see me because you wash me with those tears falling from your love eyes. The love eyes all the people see is the part of me that's showing. They figure that's the way I'll always be. Oh, but you look ahead to the day I'm full grown and there's nothing but beauty and me. And so I look into through your love eyes, you see me through your love eyes. And beauty is what you see me, because you wash me with those teeth falling from your love eyes, your love eyes. And so I look into your love eyes. You see me through your love eyes. And beauty is what you see me as. You wash me with those things falling from your love eyes. You're the eyes, you're the eyes, you're the eyes, your love eyes, your love eyes, your love eyes. You wash me with those teeth falling around your love. Eyes. It's fantastic. God has different eyes, that is looking like you with totally different eyes. That's why people look at you and they say no, no, out, out, out, out, out, out. Then God will say no in, in, in. I see you being selected by the law. Hallelujah, sedan #10. God has kind intentions for you, hey? Kind intentions for you that are embodied in His will. Wow. Kind intentions that are embodied in His will. Amen. Hey, how many know that God has kind intentions. God is thinking about something Ephesians chapter one verse 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Amen. Wow, just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before him in love. He that's five are you with me? Visions, chapter one, verse five. He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intentions of His will, to the praise and the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved, according to the kind intentions. Hey, if you love the Lord, you will love His will for you, because you will know that in His will are certain kind intentions. God has some kindness that is intended for you, and those kind things that are intended for you lie within His will for you. If you don't enter His will, God's kind intentions cannot be manifested towards you, because His kind intentions are inside His will. That is why the most important prayer, one of the most important prayers, is to pray for the will of God to be done and not to pray for any particular thing. Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be done, because within His will the intentions that are kind towards you, Shabbaya, are found in there. Now outside His will you find the devil and you find other satanic agents in full operation and in full manifestation. Are you listening to me? That is why you want to be in His will always. You want to say, Lord, let your will be done. Let your will be. I don't want my will. I don't want my way. Why should you want your will at your age? How do you want your will to be done at your age? You want your own will to be done. What can your will be telling us? This will should be done. That's why I say that people that God chooses for you are better than what you choose for yourself. I've learned that let God select by the process that He can, and you select people for you. He will select the right husband for you. You select the right wife for you. Allow God to select. Don't be afraid of His powers of selection. When you force your own will based on your own perception of what is good, you only live to discover that the will of God is very different from your own will. People always complain about the will of God, that it is hard to obey God. If you love the Lord, you will love His will for you. Instead of questions why there will be praise for all he does. If you love his will, if you love the Lord, you will love his will. You will love his will. You will say His will is the best, His will is the best. His will is the best, His will is the best. I want His will. When you when you love the Lord, you will come to respect his will. As you work with the Lord, you will respect God. You say God is so powerful that his intentions are so kind and so good, but he has to work it out like Joseph. Joseph suffered for a long time and but at the end of it he said God meant it for good. There was a very kind intention in all that happened to make me the Prime Minister of Egypt, to save Israel, to save the people. There was a kind intention deep down in this will through the pain and through it all there was a kind intention, and we would discover the kind intention of His will. If you don't discover it here, you will discover it there. You, you, you will come and you say, my God, my God, is this what it was? Is this what it was about? If I have long, I would have even embraced it more. Wow. There is a kind, a very kind intention, kindness. If you want to talk about kindness, you are talking about God. If you talk about somebody who loves you, somebody who likes you, you are talking about God. God is the one who likes you. God is the one who is thinking in a very kind way towards us, as if we have the mind of like somebody with a big cane who wants suffering. And there are people who think about me in that way. I was going to have a camp somewhere and then they made an announcement, Bishop is coming, we are going to have a camp. And then as the pastor, look at the people who said you don't have to say As for Bishop, the only thing is going to come and says kill yourself for Jesus. Some people have that man As for Bishop is only kill yourself for Jesus. There is a kind intention. There's a kind intention somewhere. Are you listening to me? There's some kindness intended, but that you cannot do for yourself. Happiness, peace and joy. And if you don't see it on Eve, because some people don't see it on Eve, some people die only in faith. Somebody lost four wives and six children on their mission field. That's 10 funerals. He had 10 funerals that he conducted. I now commit my wife to the ground. I now commit my child. I commit my third child. I commit my fourth child. I commit my fifth child. I commit my 6th. You ask yourself, is God alive? Each child that went into the ground, You perhaps do not know what is up there waiting. The kind intentions of the Lord even to not allow that child to live. It's a kind intention. A lot of women cry when they lose their abort their children. Sometimes within three months. The babies get aborted. They cry sometimes they don't know. Do you? The mother of Stalin started who killed 20 million of his own people. She took him to Bible school. She took his son to Bible school. Do you think she was a bad woman? That woman had had an abortion. When the child was coming forth, she had an abortion. She may have been saying God. God doesn't hear Jehovah. Rafi, it says I am the Lord that healed thee. I will bless thee. You shall never cast your young you. I will bless your bread, I will bless your water, and I will take sickness from away from amongst you. Why? Stalin who? If Stalin's mother, who believes so much in God, trust to send her son to Bible school. You see, you wouldn't have known the kind intention was to save the world from a stubborn child. Because it is in the Bible that if a man has a stubborn child, he shall bring the child out of the city and all of them shall store. He shall be the first to stone that child. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So, brothers and sisters, and it's a very, very wonderful thing, I want you to know there's a kind intention. God has a kind intention for you in spite of everything. There's a kind intention. There is a kind intention. What do you think? There was a kind intention. There was a kind intention in the down, in the up, in the sideways, in the left and the right. There is a kind intention in it and you must believe God. And in the end you will see that God actually seemed to have been playing some game that I didn't even know that I was part of the game. How many have seen? Sometime we human beings can deceive you. Maybe it is your birthday. They have even planned a birthday cake or birthday party. You didn't you didn't know and they said this and not knowing that all the things they were doing had some kind intentions in it. It's. True. But you didn't know this move was because of that. That move, when the person said this, the person was trying to delay you. When the person said this, all those moves, not knowing that there was an intention in it. Wow. When we were coming from Damangu, we reversed our bus. The bus had to go reverse and then forward. As soon as we reverse, our bus got stuck. There was much our bus got stuck. So I came out of the bus. I said we all came out of the bus and I was standing there with somebody and I told the person I was standing by. I said this bus that is stuck you, you never know that only because we are stuck we will not die on the way because maybe because an accident is split second. At this point you meet this one who made this one and then boom, you may not know the kind intentions because we prayed before we went faster. We are stuck. You may not know the kindness that was given to us to be stuck in that position, and we struggled to be unstuck for some time before we were. I was even surprised when we were released, but I thought we would not go. Then I thought maybe we would go later, later, later, maybe some hours or maybe the next day. As I was standing there, I was watching because I've seen all this before. Monday I was going to Takra. There I went to pass through Bishop Saki's house, just I finished at his house and then I was making a Utah just reverse like this. To come back when I reversed, I was stuck. I never went to Thakuri that day. I stayed at that place for the next three to four hours when I finished and I went home. But if you have been working with God for some time, you will not be so flabbergasted by such a thing. When I'm so this thing you have seen all this one, it can be some kind intention somewhere that is moving. By that time you may be kissing or so where is God, Where is God, Where is God? Is that the question you are asking now where is God? God is in the match, holding your ties, keeping you away from an early death. May His kind in. May your kind, the kind intentions of the Lord, be manifested in your life. Amen. Are you there? Are you getting closer and closer to the Lord? Amen #11. You may have to give up your life if it is the will of God. Galatians chapter one verse three. You may have to give up your life. It may be the will of God for you to die. Oh yes, I remember I said in church, they said they don't bury you if you are less than 70 and you die. They will not bury you in the church because you didn't have faith. That's what they say. You didn't have faith. You should have had faith. If you had faith, you wouldn't die before the age of 70 when God has given us 3 score and 10. Hey, but it is true. You have to believe. But I want you to also know that there are situations where it is the will of God that your life be sacrificed and that you shouldn't live long, that your life should just end. Short life, short life like Jesus 3033 John the Baptist 30. The tears, the tea, the tears Jesus 33, 3330 The tears for John the Baptist. In some cases it may be the will of God that you die early. Be your death anybody who dies, Always. It has a meaning for the people who are left behind. If you read the Bible, anybody who dies, dies for the people who are left. Usually when the person dies, it's either a message for the person who is left or it is to release the people who are coming to be able to carry on different things, to allow entrance of some other people. But if you read the Bible, everybody died for a particular reason. You don't just die. So the will of God may be God never spoke to Joshua until Moses died. When Moses died, then God spoke to Joshua, said rise, Moses, your father is dead. He has not spoken. Have you read in the Bible where God spoke to Joshua? God was only speaking to Moses. Because you see, sometimes to maintain the string of command, you need to speak to only one person. Start speaking to Jesus, God, God. He also appeared here. He told me, and he appeared here to three of you have come that God has spoken. Hey, sometimes one goes, then the next one is there. So it may be the will of. So how do you know how long you are going to live? You are making plans. A young boy like you are making plans for retirement. Retire at your age. You are planning. You don't know when you how long you live. Nobody knows. The first pastor I have buried, he was 27 years old. Yeah. Pastor, Chancellor Parry, if you go to the Kodesh, we have something we call a memory wall. You will see the names of the pastors of this church who have died. You go, you see memory wall. Every pastor who has sent as a pastor in this church who has died, you see his name there in the black. And the first was the I don't know if he's the youngest, that he was only 27 years. He had been married for some months. Wow, are you God? Stand up if you are God and explain. Human beings always want to be God. You see jokes, friends don't make the mistake they made. Anytime something happens, there are some people who rise up to explain it. You know this thing has happened because this, this, this is a very dangerous thing. God was not happy with those three guys at all. In fact, he told Job at the end, Get up, pray for these guys before I strike all of them from this end. Explanations upon explanations for everything that has happened to somebody. Because he did this is because he did this is because it made Job speak so much, so many chapters of speaking, explaining himself. So I've not looked at a woman before. I've not done this. I've helped blind people. I've helped this. I've done what they can. I've helped the poor. Oh, Job, he explained himself. The three guys, the three guys said, look, there must be something you've done. There is nothing. You cannot happen like that. You've done something. He brought out all his righteousness, so sometimes it is the will of God, and it was the will of God for Jesus to die. The Bible says from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Hallelujah, Jesus gave himself for us. Amen. Are you ready to die for Jesus? Raise your hand if you are ready to die for Jesus. Hey, Are you sure of what you are saying? Most of you are dreaming about marriage. The wraps you are going to give the the wraps you are going to give the lady what you are going to say to her. You are not thinking of dying. Are you thinking of dying? Are you not thinking of how you are going to wrap her and say, man, you are bones of my bones. You are flesh of my flesh. Who is that? He's planning to do what? To give raps. He doesn't want to die either. He's going to give you some raps that you can use for your life. You are flesh of my flesh, and with the Bible there's no one closer. You are flesh in my flesh. And with the Bible, Yeah, you are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. There's no one closer. You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. We are one. I do pledge my life to you forever and always. I will take good care of you and shower you. The faith, all the stride can separate, but it will not change. The storm of life may roll and roll, but there's no one like you. You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. There's no one close. I You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. You are flesh of my flesh, all of my bone. There's no one closer. You are flesh of my flesh, all of my bone. The. I do pledge my life to you today and go away. I will stay right by your side whatever comes away. The storms of light can blow and blow, but it won't get us down. Or the storms can burn and but there's snow like you. You, you are blessed by that. Oh the Bible, there's no one closer. You are blessing my blessed. But on my phone, you are what's on my bless. Hold on my bow. There's no one closer. You are flash on my flesh. Hold on my bow. We are one. They don't want to die. These are the songs they want to be singing to each other. People are saying this is the song that I will sing at my wedding. You don't want to die, you want to live and marry and sing songs. You are joking. There's quarterfinals in your eyes. OK, sit down. Your life will #15-O number. Ah, it's true. The will of God is mysterious and contains many mysteries. Ephesians chapter one, verse 7. In whom we have a redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace, wherein he have abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known unto us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in himself. Ephesians chapter one verse 9 is the key verse you must remember about the mystery of the will of God. God's will is mysterious. If we say the mystery of the missing cat or the mystery of the missing dog, we are talking about how to It's not clear how the cat got missing. It's not clear how the dog got missing. The mystery of the missing bag, The bag was there at 8:00 and at 9:00 the bag was no longer there. So it's not clear how or what has happened to the bag. It's not easy to know or see or understand. We have to really investigate now. The will of God is not easy to know or to see through. Clear. There was a baggage. It's gone. It's not easy to understand. It was there, so wasn't. I show you as a look. The flask, the mystery of the disappearing flask. How did it go? I don't understand it. I can't even this is I can't I, I don't, I've thought I don't really know what is the mechanism? What is going on? I don't think it's clear to know what's going on. Is it clear? Oh, this is missing. How did it happen? What's what's going to happen next? That's how the will of God is. It's not something you can easily know how it happened. Why? What? You just see that this is it. So there's a lot of mysterious things. You could be sitting here. You'll be my wife tomorrow. You never imagine that you become my wife. True. That's true. You'll never, you'll never imagine that it's possible. That's true. That's mysterious. You'll be sitting here. You'll be a great evangelist. Bigger than Bernard Boge. Do you know? I mean, you, you look at how, how, what, where, when, who, What was the. I mean, how can it be possible? This is mysterious. Oh, yeah. Somebody like you. You see, the other day I was. I consecrated a Bishop in another country. I know how your day passes. We consecrate bishops. I consecrated him as a Bishop. And he wore white, white gown with a white. That thing that bishops wear, the long 1. He wore white when he was sitting that he looked more holy than even the Pope. But as he sat there, I said God is Mr. because he was a gangster. A gangster means like an armed robber. That's what he was. He was a violent man that is sitting there that has been made into a Bishop. So you ask yourself, what is the process? Can't even even fathom it. Stand up you not you. Do you know Timbuktu? Have you thought that you could be in living in Timbuktu? You see now and you can't even imagine what should put you in Timbuktu. It's true. That's how the will of God is very if. If you follow the will of God, you will come to things that surprise you. And you say, you know, I never thought I'd be here. Me too. I never thought most of the things I'm doing that I have. I never thought that I write a book and somebody reads it. I'm one of the surprise people in the world. True it is. It is recently that I came to realize that, look, you are an author. Do you know that you are an author? Because after I discussed a social ministry, but I never planned that I'm going to be, I didn't even know that that there were author. I saw something on my vocabulary as one of the things that a person would do. It's true. It's this you just won't even know. Where will you be? Who will you be with what? What will you be doing 10 years from now? That's why I suggest that you pray Ephesians one line that that the mystery of his will will happen. His mysterious will is not only bad things, not only things you know, some are things you can't even imagine. How I never knew that. I never thought I'll be doing evangelism today. I always said I'm. I'm a pastor and a teacher. Bishopsaki is an evangelist today. He is a pastor and I'm an evangelist. It's fantastic. We had his Gospel crusade track. We changed it. We painted over, we said healing Jesus Crusade. We started a new thing. It's fantastic. We switched. OK, you pastor the church. I do this. That's all. Look at she's sitting here from Mexico. I never thought of a Mexican or even the different nationalists, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Saturn, all all around that. I never thought of anything international, Different countries, India, this that. We have Indians, Indians are here now. It's just wonderful. It's amazing. So take your time. You never know who you're going to be, who is going to be that person. Maybe you go be president. You see some of you now you will be president. Nobody know you will be president and I'll be with you all the time talking to you. When you are the president, I'll be talking to you, explaining to you. Maybe God will make you the president so that I can give you some tips how to make a nice the whole country into a nice kodesh. Are you listening? You never know, so take your time as you talk to people. Pray, pray, pray, pray. Let your will be done because there are so many beautiful and wonderful things in the mystery of his will. They are hidden. When he say something mysterious is hidden, you can't see it. And his will doesn't always happen. Gospel doesn't always happen. When we say he's got the whole world in his hand, that's what that's what I write, right song. He's got the whole world in his. He's got the whole world in his hand. He's got the whole world in his hand. He's got a little boy brother. It is a He's got a little boy sister, it is a He's got a little boy brother. It is a He's got a whole in his. The Bible says the devil is the God of this world. The devil has the whole world in his hand. If God had this world in his hand, you think it would be the way it is everywhere. Confucian people like Idi Amin. Idiots become presidents, Idiots, bastards, crazed killers become heads of states. Madras Mass Madras, all through history, killing the people mercilessly and senselessly all over the world, in Europe and everywhere. If he had the whole world in his hand. No, he don't have the whole world in his hand. He got a little boy brother in his hand. He got a little boy sister in his. He's got a little boy brother in his. He's got a whole world in his hand. No, not true. Bible tells us in Second Corinthians the devil is the God of this world. That's why the devil took Jesus up to the mountain and showed him the world. And he said it is mine, bam, and I'll give it to you right now, Bam, it wasn't true, but he said, bam, it is mine to give to you. If it wasn't true that it was his, it would not have been a temptation. You understand what I'm saying? What was not true? But that was true. That part was true. The other part was not true. The path was true that it was for him. That's why it was a temptation. But the path that's not true, that when he bounced it to not be the world would be for him, but he would be for the devil. He's got the little boy brother in his son. He's got the little boy sister in his son. He's got the little boy in his son. He's got the whole world in his hand. No, Oh, Mali, it's not true. It's a lie. That's why the devil said bam, look, look at, look at Kenya, look at Zimbabwe, look at Africa, look at Eastern Europe. I understand the whole world. I will give it to you. Just I'll give the whole world to you. You can see that Satan is ruling this world by how the world is. It's not only in Africa that we have problems. The whole Hitler and those guys, they were far worse than this. I mean, Bocasa and so on in terms of the number of people they killed, Pam or they developed their country and killed the people. Ours, ours didn't develop and they killed a number. Do you see? So his will doesn't necessarily have because the devil operating in this world prevents the will of God from happening. That's why Jesus said that's why Jesus prayed that thy will be done because there are so many things that can make his will not happen. Maybe you're supposed to marry somebody. You never marry that person because you don't pray this prayer, thy will be done. Maybe somebody in a relationship is with is supposed to break up with you, but because you don't pray thy will be done. He doesn't break up. He follows through, He does the engagement, you too, you accept it, you go on, you do the engagement, everything. And you might, because if you had only prayed, you would have broken up. Only you have prayed that that will be done if you have broken up with a wild beast and dislike the person forever. But you didn't pray, so you went ahead and you married into the fire Firestone. Because you didn't pray. The hidden things never appeared. I never knew that I would do a camp in Kenya in the midst of animals. You know how I do camp here like I'm doing preaching camp here. It was hidden in my history that I one day be in the midst of lions, jackals, elephants, hyenas, and have a camp in Kenya with Kenyans, with Kenyans It was part of. I never found in my, in my, in my hidden mysteries. I never thought I was standing in Japan preaching. I've been in Japan, are preaching America, are preaching Paraguay, are preaching Colombia. I never thought I'd preach in Argentina, in Buenos Aires. I never thought I'd drive from one end of Buenos Aires to the other. I never knew that I'll be in Argentina preaching different places. Panama. It's it's all part of Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia. It's all hidden. If you don't pray, it never appears. It always stays there, never appears. You, you keep saying, oh, he's got a little boy brother in his science. He's got a little boy sister in his science. He's got a little boy brother in his science. He's got a Oh well in his science. It's not true. The devil is the God of this world. So better get to the job and say, Lord let thy will be done. If it was not important, it would not be a prayer. Now Jesus will pray for three hours before his will happens. Pilots just have to change his mind and the will of God will not happen again. So when you pray the will of God, those who don't have to change their mind don't change those who have to change the change. Just keep praying that prayer for your life. You say you will not pray, you only want to receive word. You only want to listen to messages. You won't pray now talking waterfaller is in your eyes. It's my best prayer. OK when I'm praying for a long time for a long time, it always comes to this. When I'm praying for a shorter time like one hour or two hours, then it comes to the spirit of wisdom and revelation. But when I'm praying for a long time, for 10 hours, 15 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, three days, it will come to this. Thy will, the mystery, the hidden packages shut my Yakabo. Come out so that I see you. What is hidden in my destiny and my future? Who are the characters and the people supposed to step forward in my life? Who am I supposed to meet? What am I supposed to do? Let them come out of the woods? The things I don't know about, I can't see. Amen. One day I was with a certain Chinese man, and the Chinese man said to me, I, I said to him, I, I don't know how you see me, but I, I was giving. I was saying something. Then he said, oh, I see you as a mentor, a mentor. I said, a distant mentor, but a mentor, one of a number of people that I see you as a mentor. Later on, I was thinking about it. I never knew that a Chinese man would see me as a mentor. Yeah. I mean, a Chinese man was a church, a large church. Yeah. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So, my brother, my sister, there are things in your future. There is a bad man who will come before the good man. You won't pray, but the bad man is more handsome than the good man. The good man may be shorter than you, and the bad man may be taller than you. Look up. You see when a certain type of person comes and speaks certain words to you, even when you are strong, you see that you fall when he says you are. You are the flesh of my place and the, the, the, the, the, the bones of my bones. Shabaya, I said. There's no one closer than you. Storms may come, and once again they come, but nothing can destroy our life. Even if you are not strong, when a person speaks this to a woman who you see that your heart will move from the left side to the right side. You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. There's no one closer. You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. We are one heart. You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. There's no one closer. You are flesh on my flesh, bone on my bone. The hour I do give my life to you, forever and always. The wraps are strong. Can separate, but they won't have a chance. For there's no one in this world, no one like you. You are flesh of my flesh on the Bible. There's no one closer. You are flesh of my blood born on my bone. The hour give. A strong life. Secret my life today and every day I will stay right by your side whatever comes away. I've searched and searched for someone who can make my dreams come true, but there's no one in this world. Through the storms of life they blow and blow, but it won't let us down. The soul and the soul Lighter ground. You are blessed by bone on my bone. There's no one closer. You are a flesh of my flesh. Bone on my bone. You are blessed of my flesh, bone on my bone. Oh, there's no one closer. You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. Yeah. What? You are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. There's no one closer. You are blessed of my flesh and bone of my bone. We all are. You are a flesh of my blood, but what a my boat. There's no one closer. You are a flesh of my blood. And what a my boat be our bless on my flesh, bone on my bone. There's no one closer. You are blessed on my bread, bone on my bone. All right, number 131313, you must do the will of the Lord from the bottom of your heart. You cannot do the will of God from the bottom of your mind. Ephesians chapter 6 verse three. That's five sevens. Be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling in singleness of your heart, not with thy service as men pleasers, but as the servants of the Lord, doing the will of God from the heart. Wow, Are you ready to do the will of God from your heart? Some people do the will, but not from the heart. One day I visited a certain man. This man had had an original wife that had now discarded her and favoured a new wife. And we went to visit this man about a problem. When we were talking to this gentleman, he said we need to deal with certain things and so on and say sorry, oh, there must be some apologies or whatever. Then he began to explain a mistake that his first wife had made. He said that many years ago there was a strong family meeting because his wife was very recalcitrant, I'll natured, cantankerous, stubborn and yielding and bending. So he had to call a whole lot of family members to come and talk. So he said they formed a circle around like that, and he was sitting there and his wife was sitting there. So they talked and talked and talked. And at the end of the meeting, it was agreed that the wife should apologize. So her duty was to go around everybody and say she's sorry, all right, including the husband. So she went around I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And then when she got to the husband, the husband was explaining why he has sucked him. When he got to the husband, when she got to him, she said I'm sorry. And then she was supposed to say some more, something else. So she turned to the rest of the people and she said, Mina KNK what did they say I should say? So when the husband was what did they say? As he was talking, what did they say I should say? No, that apology was not from her heart. What did they say? As you've even forgotten at the meeting, you have turned around to ask somebody that. What did they say I should say? So he sucked his wife and got himself a more easygoing wife who will say things from the heart. So you see, why did he not accept that after? Was it not sorry? Was it not a sorry? Is sorry not a sorry, uh huh, sorry. He's a sorry, but a sorry that is not from the heart is different from a sorry that is from the mind or from the mean. I can't care. What did they say? As you say, all our sorries, but with sorry is from the heart. We want a sorry from the heart. And God is saying, the Bible is saying here man pleases, not as man pleases, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. We are talking about people who are serving God. It's not somebody, it's mean. I care. What did they say I should do? What did they say I should pray. How long did they say I should pray? What did they say I should say to God when I come? What did he say I should do when I finish school? We are talking about people that are pleasing God and working with the Lord from the heart. If you love the Lord, you will love His will for you. If you love the Lord, instead of questions why, you will be filled with praise for Him. Thanks for all that He says you should do from the heart. It will flow out of you if you really love the Lord. If you love the Lord, you will not be asking what did they say? What did he say? We should do? Well we finished. We should do what? We should kill ourselves. How do you kill yourself? This man, what does he think his father is not? Look at that. Your processor is going off course again. Power shortage has affected electric light off has affected your processor for so long. It is no more working correctly. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. May you do the will of God from your heart. There is a difference between somebody doing something from the heart and something that they say. What did they say I should do from the heart? From the inside, it's flowing from the feelings. It's different. You can always tell when somebody is doing something for money or because Mina care in care. When I travel on different airlines, I see different nationalities serving me. One of the West is British Airways. You see that they don't want to be polite to you. When I see them come in there, I just as a look at 1:00, one of the West's British Airways, Germans Airways, American is the West. They they, they, they, they don't even bother to try to be nice. That's the difference. But you see the British and other even Koreans, you see them be as the temple, the smuggles. You see that it's all plastic. Yeah. So when I even see them, I don't even look at their faces. I said, my friend Claire, from there you are trying to give me your professional behavior. Occasionally you meet somebody who is doing it from the heart. You see that the person is genuinely concerned about you. What a difference it makes when you have somebody who is doing something from the heart and somebody who is doing that. What did they say I should do? Hello. What do you like to them, Foolish? Next time I will say, foolish, get out of here. When you have something more natural, more real than you come. Are you listening to me? Serving God from the heart. Wow, what a difference. When you serve God from the heart, there's no struggle When you are serving Him with what did they say? They said I should go here. They said I should do that's what, a minute time? When I'm sending people a mission, I, you know, I want them to go where they would like to go. Where would you like to go? Because I don't want you to go and sit there. They forced me. I wanted to go to Brazil. They said I should come to Ferdia. They said I should come to Ferdia. I wanted to go to Brazil. Even even serving of food, when somebody is serving you food and it's not from there, something as simple as food. I remember years ago when we got married, I used to tell my wife when you are feeling in love with me, I taste it in the food. I can taste the food that this one has been made with love. If you have what we call perspicacity, you know perspicacity, Check, check, check, check, check, check from your your phone dictionary, perspicacity, you'll be able to detect food that is made out of love and out of the heart and food that is made out of what did they say I should make dutiful food. Perspicacity, PERSPICACITY. Perspicacity or perspicacious, They are lost having ready insight. That's all. Read it. Someone who is specificatious, notices, realizes, and understands things quickly. Notices realize realize this food, there's no love in the food. Notices, realizes and what understands things. Quickly the processor notices so that this food is not a correct food. Are you listening to me? God notices when you are serving Him not from your heart, by serving Him for some other reasons, or for some, maybe to please a man or to impress people. God notices immediately why you do things. That is from the heart. Is it from the heart? I'm always afraid of myself for my heart. Why am I doing? Why? Why do you sing? You see, people have started to clap for you, so why do you sing? You're becoming a star. You're sitting on stage with me. So you see now we may not be sure what is the real reason why she's singing. Is it just I love the Lord or I enjoy what I'm doing? Is it? There's a fine line Bible calls a dividing asunder. You see the soul and the spirit is joined. There's a dividing line. So sometimes we are, we are thinking in our soul. Sometimes we are thinking in our spirit. It's so close that occasionally you are here. It's like Ghana, Togo border. Sometimes you are in Ghana, sometimes you are in Togo. You don't even know where you are sometimes. Sometimes I'm in Ghana, I'm in Togo. You keep shifting from 1:00 to the other. That's how the soul and the spirit is and that's how our motives are. In one moment you are loving God, the next moment you are so happy with the job you are doing with the people. Next time you are happy with the prestige. Next time is the money. It just keeps shifting. So you have you. That's why you have to pray every day and confess you. You can never tell what you are, why you are doing what you are doing. It's very, very deadly. So what I'm saying to the more spiritual you are, the more you'll be praying for yourself and not sure of yourself anymore. Lord, what am I doing, what I'm doing? What is the real reason for what I'm doing? Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, That will do the will of God from the heart. So you're going to Brazil? Brazil. Why? Why, why? Why do you want to go to Brazil? Why, Why? Why? Why, why? Why? Why not somewhere else? Yeah. Why Brazil in particular? Is it out of friendship or is it for God? Is it is it from friendship or is it from God? What? What could it be? What is the real reason behind this? Brazil? It's worrying, to say the least. It's worrying. Tell you, if my wife was not alive and I have to marry somebody, now you ask yourself why do you want to marry me? Why? Oh why? Superfly? What is your reason? Hey, is it to help me or is it to assume the the role of a queen, a queen bee, a queen termite to start removing other termites? What are your motives? That's why it's good to marry when you are nobody. It helps the person who is coming to realize I've got nobody should in case it develop into somebody you came in at the right time. That is why when people get older and they are no minds become more and more difficult for them to you can't tell it's true you can't tell you can't you can't tell very dangerous even to marry very very dangerous. Let us stay your house and pray when link your future destiny to an unsetting donkey whose mission is no more is not clear. One day a certain pastor was promoted and he was promoted to become the resident pastor of that church. So the wife, she met somebody that I know and she informed this person. Have you had? My husband has been promoted to be the resident pastor, so he is going to be ministering every Sunday. So I am going to town. I need to get the appropriate dresses for the appropriate role of the resident pastor's wife, Queen Bee Quintamite. She's now the Madam, but she's thinking of dresses and not even how to be spiritual so that when people come and even speak to you have something sensible to say. Oh, fashion, fashion dresses, bags, shoes. First Lady resident First Lady is it what is what is what is the reason? So I prayed about it and the lost. The Lord said that the Lord said I should marry him. Chair one day. One day there was a certain donkey. It went on a very long journey, and it was at the end of its life. And then it came to a crossroads, and it saw to the right five deserts, because every long journey you have the point at which you fall down. So he came to a cross with right or left. He was, If I go right, would there be water there? If I go left, would there be water? So he decided to pray and ask for the will of God to be done. So the donkey bowed down his head to pray. As the donkey was bowing down the head to corner of the right eye, something in the distance which looked like hay and bucket. But he decided to pray. Oh God, show me the way. To go guide me in the paths. Of righteousness, may I not go astray, O Law, The donkey's prayer was not an easy prayer. Save me from the evil way and bring me into your perfect will for my destiny and my future. O Law, 'cause my feet to walk upon the. Path that you have. Laid out for me, sign your light upon my path, that I might see which way I may go. Save me from the deceiver and the lying lips, that my life may not be destroyed in this day. Oh Lord, the donkey prayed. Oh Lord, and. Then the donkey. Open his eyes and he said the Lord has just spoken. I want you to guess what the Lord said. What the donkey? Said and the Lord said the right side, where he saw. That the donkey said. The Lord said I should go right. The Lord will bless someone on the right side today and surely the donkey went there. You see? When the donkey is going. Right. Is it really? Because the Lord said it or because of what He has seen? Is it a path of righteousness or something else? You can't really. Tell because sometimes there are certain things we spot. The man comes to you proposing. He's shaking the khaki like that. And you are impressed. One day, somebody. Stole my. Ticket that I used to travel abroad, but I had already used it. You know when you use the. Ticket there is the outside. So he stole the outside of the ticket and he went to town with it, and he met a certain sister then he brought out. The KLM team, but. Oh, he's going to land and he's going here just like the donkey. Which spotted the KLM. Tickets. It's blue. Blue. He robbed the girl and the girl. The girl believe. That this guy is a bad business tycoon. He's going here. Sometimes you have seen certain things. That is what this guy is, not from your heart. You saw the ticket and he didn't say that. He's for you. He's going. Just saw it. You saw the keys. You saw the sign on the guy's shirt. Calvin Klein. He's wearing a stethoscope, I said. Doctor. And he said, the Lord said to me. I should marry you. Pray always about your heart. Your heart is a big treasure box. Search me oh Lord and no my try me and no my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me in case there may be a wicked way inside my box. I'm always defending myself and saying This is why I'm doing this. You can't be sure you can't be sure. Be honest. Start being honest for a change. Tell somebody be honest for a change. Stop defending yourself and say you are. Always having the right. Motive. I'll be serious. For a change, we need some honesty. Amen. What do you think? Yeah. So the will of the Lord. Amen. Is something you must begin to. Pray that you'll be. Doing the will of the Lord from your heart. What is in your heart #14 it is important. To be filled. With the will of God, Amen. It's important to be filled with the will of God. Are you? Listening to me, it is important to be filled with the will of the Lord. Amen. It is important to be filled with the knowledge of God's will. For your life, Amen. The knowledge of His will for this 'cause we also, since the day we heard it, did not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you may be filled with the efficient collusion. Chapter one, verse nine, with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding in all what wisdom now? So I'm giving you a key. Ephesians 1. 9 is the mystery of his will. Colossians 19 is the knowledge of his will. I mean, it's a formula you can try to remember. Ephesians 19 is the mystery of his will, but Colossians 19 is the knowledge of his will. Maybe you can remember that. Now you need to be filled with the knowledge of His will for you. So as you grow and seek the Lord, Amen. As you grow and seek the Lord, you grow in the knowledge of His will, what He wants you to do. For instance, right now I could have a camp down the hill and I could have a camp, right? But I have to grow in the knowledge of what He wants me to do. I'm having this camp here because I am doing. More of. What is more important for me and for my calling, which is Apostolic work, which has to do with church planting? Because I'm, I'm, I hope I'm not preaching to the wrong group of people. I hope I know this is not the wrong group. This is not a career lesson. This is what I'm preaching about spouse careers. Yeah, I hope I'm not in the wrong section. I'm talking about people that I'm sending out to go and give up your life for Him who died for you. Amen. And as you grow in the service of the Lord, you grow in the knowledge of the Lord. Amen. Now, as you begin to know more and more of His will, you better stay with His will. First, you may not know. You find out by surprise. That's how the will of God is. You wouldn't know. Your calling you. Will know till you start doing then you begin to find out. Wow. But when you find out, better stick to your. Calling. Once you know. That's why you you should be. Filled with the knowledge of His will, it should fail you. Well, as soon as you get to know connect, don't. Don't, don't play. Look. One day I. Was watching television. And I saw someone whom I had not seen for a long time. He was a famous worship leader. In our time. He was one of the top most worship leaders and he was a worship leader in a huge church. Then I saw him being. Interviewed and I said, oh, this guy where? Has he been? And he started to tell his story when he was standing in that church. That's how we got to know him. You see, what you must realize is we get to know you because of somebody. When we get to know you because of somebody, and one day expert fills you and tells you jump out of this boat, you find out that actually you are only known because of your connection to that person. So when you trifle with it, you trifle with your calling. A spirit entered into him and said that. He should go out so some. People came to him and told him because of his great gift as well, they want to invite him to America. He was saying it on television. They're going to give him this work to do that worship leader because he's so great and so good where he has been all these years, blah, blah, blah, blah. He said he followed it when he got to America, he resigned. When he got to America. Everything was not as they said. He said he went. Through, he said. Hell, hell. Like this, Like this, like this, like this, like this. And as he was talking, they said. It's now that it is a little even better for his life because. When you may not know. That this person. Is called to you. This person is for you. This one, you're supposed to be with me. You don't know. Then when you get to know, then you're going where? And then he went Into Darkness, became a weeded branch. You wouldn't even know him if I mentioned his name. You wouldn't even know him. But if I. Sing one song, now you will know him because I can just sing one song now it is just on my lips and you immediately know this person. I will not sing it, but I'm just using it as a. Warning, I'm just. Using it as a warning, he. Says you should be filled. With the knowledge of his will. Filled. When a lot of things I didn't know about that I know now. I don't joke with. Them and I know that this is supposed to be this is supposed to be this is when you know let's pray that you know, as you keep growing, you keep knowing more about your calling. One of the things I'm called to do is to write so plant churches. But more important than anything else is to be an apostle to to plant churches is the is the most apostle is always coming before anything else. That's why I'd rather spend my time helping to plant churches and establish churches. Than. Helping to pastor an existing church. They are different. Are you listening to me? Yeah, as you get filled. With the knowledge of His will, you have to gravitate more and more towards His will if you you want to be a passer, but you are a better helps minister or a better worship leader. As you give you find out, you find out the will of God for you is to be a worship leader or to be a help develop it very well. Do it in a very good way. Highest highest. Don't play with it. People play with. Things in Africa. People play with their source of income. If you go to Kenya, you'll be surprised. The game path, which Kenya is known for, where you have the wild animals and so on the road is one of the worst roads you can ever find. Yeah, Also I drove and I said, is this not the gold mine of this country? Is it not The whole world arrives in Kenya just to come and see these animals, And there's no Rd. going there. We were crossing some little bridge which had been built in the colonial times. You wouldn't even believe it. It's not that the road. Has been left that way so that. You know that you are. Going to a game bumpy African right? That's what they've written in Ghana. Damungu. The road from Damungu. Junction to Damungu to mollifier, They said it's a bumpy African right or muff like Idi Amin. That's why it's a bumpy African right. What do you mean who? Told you the African right is bumpy. Your poor leadership. For 53 years cannot do anything. That is why there's no semblance of a road there, because you are so incapable. You are bereft of leadership abilities. It's like putting the wrong animal in time. Put the cat to to plow. Yeah. Put the cat to plow the field. It cannot, cannot plow. Cannot plow because you can't do it. You can't. That's why there's no road to that Mongol, That's why. That's why there's no road to most places in a car. That's why there's no water. Because the people cannot do it. They cannot. Live. They cannot help. Their own country. It's it's pathetic. And those who can will never be. Chosen and those who can will never be asked for advice. So you must be filled. With a knowledge. Now how can you be? Filled. You have to wait on the Lord. Amen. You have to wait on the Lord. And as you wait on the Lord you are going to discover more of more of the will and become more certain. And you need to wait on the Lord. You need to be able to go away now. Some of you are waiting for fasting and prayer retreats before you go and wait on the Lord. That's the difference between you and me. At least that's one difference because I didn't wait for fasting and prayer. I used to go to Lagoon Gardens on my on my own just alone. I wear my jeans and my one shirt that I had and I come from OSU. Take different different taxis, buses, taxis up to Lagon Junction. I walk from Lagon Junction to the Interior Botanical Gardens to the lake. Do you know the lake? How many know the lake in the gardens? How many do not know the lake? Why do you not know the lake? You are not interested in such things. I walked from the gates to the lake. Do you know the lake? Yeah. It's not a small journey. And there's a pipe at the at the end, too. That's why I drank water. That's why I was like a horse with a particular place to drink. I drank water and I drank water on my way out fasting, no car. No car. No, Sir. In those days. When we are celebrating, you drink Coke at Christmas and Easter. It's not like how Cook is available today. We drank from the pipe. You bend down open. The pipe and you drink like a horse. I was waiting on the Lord myself. In the trees, in the bushes. Wow. You don't wait on the Lord, That's the one. Difference between me and you privately? That's the difference between you and you may have all the scriptures I have and have all the books I've written and have all that, but that's the difference. Yeah. Because you don't wait on the Lord yourself. It's true. You need to come away. You need to. Know how to land. From the Lord, Amen. So that you be filled with the knowledge of His will. Amen.
