04. Keys to Coming out of Obscurity 4

Welcome to track #4 of coming out of obscurity. The key of adaptation in the story of the development of David the King, he needed to adapt, which is to change according to where he was at every time you see, and he adapted himself to his circumstances. There was a time that he behaved like a mad person and there was a time that he behaved like a poor person, that all these were things that he did so that he could be alive. Amen. Do you understand what I'm saying? No, in the Bible says that. And he feigned himself mad. That means he acted man in their hands and scrabbled on the doors of the gate and let his spittle fall down upon his beard. This is what David did. He allowed his spittle to fall on his beard, to act like he was man. You get it. And then other times he behaved like a poor person, and he says, Let no man know anything of this business, what I have commanded thee. Now therefore, what is under the hand? Give me 5 loaves of bread, or what there is present. First Samuel 21, two and 310 and 13. All right, So you see that Samuel David changed himself in whichever circumstance on the road, Amen, to becoming what he was supposed to become, Amen. Now, when I went to start the church in Geneva, right, we rented a room there in a hostel and lived like somebody who was in a, somebody who lived in his own house. In Ghana. I was, I was in my own house. The house I'm living in now, that is the house I was, that's the house that I left to travel to Geneva. It's not like in Ghana I didn't have a house. That was my house, the same house that I'm in today, because I moved into that house before we ever started leaving 1 branch in the church. Did you get it? So, Pierre? Oh, Pastor Richard, Pastor Richard, take us. OK. Adaptation. It's to adapt, Yeah, I think things change and then seasons change. Like we can see now that they're entering to a new era where we are becoming non dependent and matured, matured and non dependent. So we have to also adapt, meaning that we have to adjust a lot of things. A lot of things have to go out, a lot of things have to have to come on so that we're able to be best suited for the new system and the new way we want to run. Things like how some of us are deciding already to go late, you know, to go off. Not not to go late, but to find jobs to support ourselves in the work that we we have to do and that we are doing. So basically it is adapted OK. All right. Do you understand? Yeah. Now you need to adapt. You see, it is another key. I met a pastor from Zimbabwe on on on on on Friday night. He's one of the main pastors in Zimbabwe and I asked him. How is it in there? Because. When you watch the news, you get the feeling that I mean, that nobody can even live there. But he said to me, we have 90. Employees in our church and we pay them. I mean sometimes we pay a percentage of their salaries with food and other items that are around. It says Zimbabwe. Now I said you hear there's meat here, then they'll rush there to go. There's petrol here, then they'll rush there. There's flour here and they rush there. That is how the country is. They said somebody is sitting in a bar in a drinking and having a drink of beer. He orders one glass of beer, When he orders the next glass of beer, the price has changed and if they ordered the third glass of beer, the price has changed again. 3 glasses of beer, the price changing whilst he's drinking it. He said to me he has 1000 gallons of petrol tank in his house and 1000 gallons diesel and he uses the tool and he has employees and his church is working. So that in Zimbabwe it's 85% unemployment, but in his church it's only 15% unemployment. Yeah. And it's like, yeah, there are some people who are there and they are making it there. They are travelling, they are preaching, they are adjusting. There's Meteor, you go for me, there's this way, you go for this, there's this. You do. I mean, whatever the system is, you understand, you maneuver in the system and be there or you watch the news. You will never imagine there can be a mega church with as many as 90 people that you have employed in the church in Zimbabwe, in Harare, you know. So brothers and sisters, you see clearly that we are often not prepared to adapt ourselves to the circumstance that has come into existence, whatever it is, so that we can be there. You know, usually adaptation is just for survival and for doing well. Amen. And, and it is very, very important to adapt. It's important to survive. And I'm saying that when I went to Switzerland to start a church, I was, I was already living in a four bedroom house or five bedroom house or whatever in Ghana. And I'm moving to a hostel, slept there, bath in a dormitory, showers like this, 123456 showers, cubicles, toilets, we all share. Friday you see homosexuals, all kinds of people there. We are all bathing together. Yeah, but I passed that. I passed the stage of dormitory, what do you call it? And all these things years ago. But we stayed there. We stayed and in that hostel for years. We never move out of or out of that place. So that when I come and Pastor Robert is there another person, we sleep in the room 23. We have slept in that room, three of us. We all sleep there. Why not? Yeah, so that the work can go on and be done. Or you don't understand what I'm saying. Yeah. So unless we have that adapting mind, many things that we need to accomplish will not be at home. And what we are saying is that these are keys. I'm giving you these keys. Yes, I know you are not a farmer, but adjust yourself. One day you may not need to behave like a farmer, you understand? Yeah, I know you are not a poor person. But one day you may not need to have behaved or something like that, but you have to cut your coat like a poor person and live like a poor person and adjust your things like like a poor person. Do you understand? So that you can live. So as I'm preaching to you, my energy to share this key with you is even gone because I've released you into your own hands. So I don't need to push the point. I don't know if you get what I'm saying. I don't need to believe us. It's like be there. If you not adapt, the system is going to collapse on you yourself and we are not going to sustain anybody doing anything endlessly anywhere. Every single mission is ending in its support in this camp, every single one is ending its support. And the time of its support is determined here and now. We are not going out. I've looked forward to this camp with great excitement. Are you listening to me? Amen. All right. The next key to coming out of obscurity is to behave this number 15 behaving wisely when you are blessed or fortunate. Now brother Bible says when David was blessed he behaved himself wisely in first time. Well 18 that's and David behaved himself wisely in all his ways. Now do you know what is leading to this non dependence thing is behaving not wisely when we are blessed? That's what is causing it. But is he? The point that I'm making is behaving yourself wisely when you are blessed because David was brought into the palace and when he was brought into the palace he behaved himself wisely. That's what I'm saying, that the fact that I can call somebody in another church and say, look, let us have your money here. Doesn't. Mean I should behave like a fool and conduct myself in a certain way. I have to behave myself wisely. Amen. So I can assure you we are not going to say if you are a missionary and you don't have a car, glorify God when you see the people who have cars. And if you have a car, look at it very carefully because no new car is going to come from anywhere. It won't happen. Yeah. We are not going to send, fix it, raise money, organize it. Yeah. No, I'm. Serious at all and any time. There's an opportunity even to help somebody. It will be selected. It's all going to be up. This one has been here for four years. This one has been here for three years. Yes, these are. No, no, no. It's not like that. We don't work like that anymore. I've been here for four years. And So what? What do you do for yourself? Because there are holes when you pour in, it's just an empty hole. You pour and pour and pour and pour and pour. And life is not easy to buy a car. You save some before you buy the car. What do you think? Yeah. To enhance your image in the image of your ministry with your new Toyota. OK, so actually it's. Because. We have not behaved ourselves wisely with our blessing that this is coming about. Otherwise we would have been doing this forever and ever and ever and ever. Always Send money here, take this money. No, no, no, no. But it's because when we have to sit up and see that look, first thing I'm doing, am I worth me when I sit on a plane and I travel? I asked myself, how much does it cost the ministry to carry? Me from here to here. And by the time I many times when I travel and I go, I calculate the amount of money that I've raised for the ministry versus. What it cost for me to go on this journey? I can just be there and become some huge expense in the ministry. Sometimes I can. I can travel. Maybe it will cost 5000 for me to go and come. And by the time I come, I've raised 100,000 in the bank is sitting there. So it actually caused the ministry to PDF the benefit for the ministry that I I went to that place. Yeah. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah. So not just, yeah, not just there. They're just doing things. No, no, no, no, no. So it's because we don't behave ourselves wisely. And so as soon as you see somebody behaving himself wisely, it's like if you become somebody's wife, you have to conduct yourself carefully. Do you understand? Yeah. The fact that you are the wife of the President or the First Lady. Or a. Bishop's wife, OK, just come and start. Look, I know some a lady who did that. She was made the wife of the pastor because the pastor's wife died and then he married again. And you should see, when she came into pass, she, she thought she changed the choir leader. She took over the choir, changed this did that, sucked. This person sucked, shouted at this person, drove back. Even the children of the pastor were driven out of the church. Yeah, even the pastor's children were driven out of the church. And one day she slapped one of the church members. And now the church members say, you know something, it's enough. And they suck. Her and the pasta together out of the church. It's not a fairy tale. I'm telling you all these, all the stories are true. They they rose up and threw them out of the church. A real child that I've preached in several times. I said it's enough that the pastor's wife and So what? And So what? I don't get what I'm saying. Yeah. So every position you come to occupy, Charlie occupied with care, that's what. Some of the people that I wish. Thank you for helping me. So what am I saying? No, if I'm there and somebody, it's a banker and the person come to be my secretary. Or somebody works in Atlanta and the person comes to be my second, somebody's a lawyer. The person comes to be my secretary, somebody's a lawyer here. The person comes to work for me, somebody's a doctor, The person comes, the person is making tea for me or doing something as if the person has never been to school. It's not a small thing. I have to be thankful on a daily basis. That's why I say something that I'm more blessed than Prince Charles. And sometimes I say. Call Prince Charles. To come and see me. You know, Prince Charles, the Queen's, the Queen of England's, Sir. And you come. I see it as a great thing that a doctor made a cup of tea for me and served me as if the person has never been to school. It's as if he's a maid servant. Say tea. It's a great thing for me. I don't know. What about you? I don't. Some of you be house. House help. You cannot get one. Do you have house? House maid. Do you have a maid? No, Bishop. So what I'm saying is, is it not a great thing? It's a great. Thing. Yeah, it's a great thing, so I'm grateful. So even though it's me, I may have a blessing. Don't just go around. So yeah. One day. The people that you are calling and taking for granted, they could rise up and say, you know something we are not. We are tired. We are. It's enough. This your last tea that we are making for you, your last time. Let this be your last time that you call, you call us. I know that I'm blessed and I, I, I, I, I'm grateful to the people that God has blessed me with. Yeah, I know it. And sometimes once in a while, God will allow the opposite of what you have to manifest so that you see what you have. Yeah, when you see one rebellious pastor, you turn around and see the loyal pastor and say, ah, this guy cry. He's a blessing. Even the quiet ones who don't say much. At least he has not become an oral. So they call. Us that that about pastors. That about pastors. That is baby mercy, you see. So the secret of behaving wisely when you are blessed, Big Daddy, what do you think? Is it powerful? Gentlemen, you may take your seats. All right. Are you there? Are you getting the keys? Yeah, like a car has been given to you. I'll drive it ago. They will send another one. Now they say they will send again and you'll spot it. You spot it, What are you going to do $19,000 was put into account. You don't behave yourself wisely without money, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? When it's gone, because you may have to find the footpath from Madagascar to Ghana. A footpath. You have to look on the map for footpath, yeah. Every single one of you can do your church and have enough money to buy a car and buy cars again. That's it. No car will be bought again. Yeah. A spot What? They've spot it. Spot it. Amen. Key #17 handle fathers carefully. Now this is a key to doing well. There's no greater key than this key for doing well because it's stated in the Bible that you can do well with this key. But this is the key that says honor thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment that it may be well with thee, that it may be. You don't want that he's feeling sleepy. Stand, go to the back. I saw your eyes falling down. If my preaching is boring to you, you may find your way to the Basai and then be though now that it. May be well with thee. And thou mayest live long. This one is written. Handle fathers carefully. Amen. Are you there? So. Brothers and sisters, and it's important for you to handle fathers carefully. Now, when I say fathers, don't even think about me. Think about Methodist, Catholic, your biological father, your spiritual father, father-in-law, father in ministry, fathers. Careful because sometimes you have 7 different types of fathers and you are OK with six remainder one. And then you have one of the fathers that you have a lot of issues with and that thing can open a can of worms for you. Watch out, there is nothing more important. Now listen. So now God will bless you. You have a good spiritual father, good father in the ministry or mother. You know it's the same thing, good father. But then you have a problem with a particular type of father, maybe father-in-law, biological father or spiritual father or whatever. But you can easily have. So make sure you get it right with all six of them. What do you think? Yeah. And when I say honour, actively honour, you see the honour is, is, is a verb, is a doing word, a word which is saying do the honest, honour them, make them great, make them higher than you are, constantly acknowledge them. Look, let me just tell you one thing. There's one thing that I need to do for you. You will also be acknowledged by somebody. If it doesn't do anything for you, one of the things it does that you will one day be acknowledged in the same way, whatever you saw, you have 100 of it. That's all. If it, if there's no good reason, cry for you to do have this selfish motive that what you are doing is so that one day somebody will also say Papa or Mama. Now when people are choosing mission superintendents, you see, it also is in a certain sense an expression of sensing that somebody can behave towards you in a fatherly way or a motherly way. Do you understand? It's also an expression of that because a father mother is a, is a manoeuvrable person with ability to care for you. And you see, one day, I remember when my books were being launched, I called Archbishop or Bishop Duncan Williams to come and launch the books. He was there. And there was another notable man of God from Accra. He was also there. And then others were just proper. And Uncle James was also on the high table when we finished the launching. I mean, he launched the books or he did whatever. This one prayed, this one, this is about one of the men of God, didn't He was just a very great man of God. So he was sitting on the table also in a craft after the program, he he took me aside at the Golden Tulip Hostel. He took me to the middle of the somewhere and he said, he said to me today I've really learned something. I said, what? What have you learned? He said today I have seen something. I said, what have you seen? He shook his head. He said today I have seen something. I said, what have you seen? He said. I have seen that if you don't honor somebody one day nobody will honor you. He was. Referring to that other great man of God, even though he was present, there was nothing to say about him and he was not asked to do anything because he was in North Norway. It's just that he happened to come and he was. Touched. That he was honored to do whatever and he had done every was. I mean, I honored him myself, himself. Uncle James was there. Uncle James, were you there? Yeah. The first launching. Are you there? And it's. True. Nobody will ever honor you. Nobody will ever give you honor. Nobody will ever respect you. You will receive the hardest of disrespect. Yeah. You receive the hardest of. I mean, you'll be treated as a commoner. Yeah. Nobody will have that. A fatherly respects the kind of gentleness you see when you're relating with the father. It's a kind of just gentleness. You just. Cool down on all your principles and all your ideas. When you when you see a father, you just don't use principles, all your principles and your messages and your theories. You, you, you cannot correct your own father who brought you to. This world. So, Daddy, I don't think you should do this. I don't think you should have this. It's not your this to this, this, this, that. Look, it must be out of your. Bonkers and fathers are equally human beings belating with problems and sins, who have the opportunity to be to be fathers only once and are practicing and using their lives as an experiment to be fathered by the time the life is over. They have used whether they were bad fathers or good fathers over, but they, they, they learnt it by doing it. As you will also come. I wrote a book, Seven Things My father taught me. One of them that he taught me was one day he said to me there was some marital situation in the house and he said to me one day, he said it looked like it's always the fault of the man. Then he said to me, one day you will see that it is not as it looks. That's all. He said. One day you see that it is not as it looks. Hey, that was all that he said because he it was like we were all looking maybe at the air conditioner. I was working. He said one day you see that it's not an air conditioner. Then you look and say one day you see for yourself. He didn't say anything. Never make any comment. My father never made India. The only comment my father ever made about marriage. That's all he gave me to take. Yeah, one day I'll see that it's not as I think it is, or as I see it. So that's why I say that we can't with fathers. Is the handle with kept by the to the back to the back even for two seconds when I see your face, are you with me or you are not with me? Are you around? Yeah. Tomorrow, 83 people are coming to join us. They all want to be sent. They need money and we are not going to send them until we have settled everybody here, until we are a bit free, we cannot continue this way. Amen. But one of the keys. But again you see it's this type of. Key that's so spiritual. I did not see the effects or the effect that it's having. In every family, there's usually one child that doesn't listen to his father very well. Are you that child? No, biologically. Biologically, in every biological family, usually there's a child is either a. Boy or a girl or. There's somebody like that in your family. What's their life? Just watch their life. You want to understand this best watch their life, what's their life, the struggle they experience, what I call futility squared, you know, futility squared, futility times, futility mercy. Handle your Mama with care. Mike Meadow said one day God spoke to him and told him call your mother every day. Yeah, call your mother every day. Yeah, Call your mother every day. Yeah, Yeah, call your mother every day. And he said, wow. And he said, look, his mother was about to die. His mother, mother, his mother was not about to die. But he said shortly after that, his mother died. He said call your mother every day. Mama, how are you? Mama, Are you OK? Mama, How is everything, Mama? Hey, I tell you, they carried you. They held you. They made cuckoo, cuckoo. Sweet boy. Look at him. They didn't abort you and they brought you up. He said go to him, call your Mama every day. And he said shortly after that, his mother. So what is his mother said, can I have? Can I have something, something? He said, of course you can have it. And he went and got it. Something, He brought it. His mother drank it. Something, a drink. He said, wow, there's nothing too much for me to take for my Mama. Yeah, handle with care. You understand what I'm saying? Even if your father has divorced your mother and has married another person, handle with care. Just don't look much around if he's there, just go to him like this. This is the one we are interested in. And you handle with care. No comment about. Anything that you see that you don't lie, things are about and around. Leave it it has. Nothing to do with you anyway. You didn't create it and you don't know where yours is coming, I said you don't know where what yours is coming. How? How your father got into that? He. Saw. Something you see that put him into that, and one day you see that it is not as you. Think it is. That's all that my brother. Told me, hey, are you listening to me? Yeah. Honor your father and your mother. Try, I say, out of the six or seven fathers, you see that there's usually a trouble spot somewhere. How many have seen what I'm saying? Is it true or it's not true? Yeah, you see that there's a trouble spot somewhere. And the in laws, Jethro. Jethro was a father-in-law, but Moses was experiencing the problem that I was. I'm experiencing that. You cannot bear this burden. You will die from it. Share the burden, everybody. Take your share of this whole big issue and go your way. What do you think? And I would say that perhaps I have learned many things from my father-in-law. So. Many things from my father-in-law. Maybe even more things from my father-in-law than even my father. It's true, I'm telling you. One day I went for his birthday and then the sons and the daughters were coming to give speeches. I was irritated by 90% of the speeches, if not 95%. They irritated me. The speeches that the children were giving irritated me. You know, Daddy was a very hard guy, you know, he doesn't understand anything, but you know. But it anyway, all turned out well. And it's like the man in some. Way. And in the end, it was swept. Out so you know it's. Like the old man, this one, I was listening to 1 by 1. I said these people, they don't know what they had. That's how I felt as I listened to one after the other. Yeah, yeah. Look at my glasses. I can't see, so I can't preach again. I cannot read my notes. You can repair it after. After church. Are you listening to me? Yeah. Call your mother every day. Call your father every day. Give them that honour. And the troublesome father or the troublesome mother? He will die soon. But. Make sure. Look, my father, before he died in the last five years of his life, I saw a lot of things that almost tipped me into serious trouble. I was staying in his hotel and he said he wouldn't pay the electricity bill again. I was forced to be non defendant. Yeah. So the hotel was in darkness and me too. I'm inside in only one room. And you know, at a point I was virtually being driven out. Yeah, there were a whole lot of things and I had to be careful. I had to be careful, but on the day that he died, I was in Zurich studying the church there, and I was praying in the morning, and I felt in my heart that I would never have become what I've become if I have not had the Father that I had. And I was grateful for you, but didn't know that he was actually dying or even actually dead. I don't know exactly what time he died. It's not easy to be away when you hear that somebody's dead. The journey back is a very difficult journey. You got bivalium and other sleeping tablets to take so that you can sleep till you arrive. Are you listening to me? Amen. So handle fathers for your future and let me tell you one of the reasons why everybody's learning from you. Your so-called followers, they are all watching you and they are all saying what is how This is how it is done when you are old. Have I told you that story before? I told you how many don't know, I'll say the. Story. A certain man had a father, and the father was a businessman. The father was a man. Father ran the business, you see, for a long time, and then he handed over to his son, and his son also ran. They became very rich and so on. And the father became very old and the father also had a son. So now there were three generations and then the father, now the grandfather really like the grandson. And they were there one day the the son said, the grandson, there's a son and there's a father or the grandfather, father, son. And the father said I cannot look after the old man again because he's too old and he's becoming difficult problem to look at. He's very busy with the business of which business his father set up for him that he was running. So he told his father I am taking him to an old people's home so that you'll be looked after by nurses and you live in a dormitory where old people are. And his father said don't take me there. And his son said I have to take you there. I need to take you there because you are disturb. You are a disturbance. And the grand boy, the grandson he really loved. His grandfather, because his grandfather was playing with him and he really loved him. So they talked, they talked and the father said I have to take you there and I'll take you there. So that they came to take him to that place. And he, the son, the father and the grandfather went to that place. And the grandson begged the father, Do not. Take me, do not take grandpa to this place. So they went when he when he took him to the home, he put in there the grandstand was. Crying. Don't leave Grandpa. Here and they left him here and they came back. On their way back, as they were going, the car was quiet, and the grandson and his father were quiet in the cars. They were going and their father asked the son why. Are you? Quiet said. Because I'm thinking it's a message. So what are you thinking about? He said. I have seen where I have to bring you when you are old. That's what he told us. But I have seen the place that I have to bring. You have to take you when you are old. That is what I'm thinking about. The father was shocked. What are you thinking about? I've seen what I have to. Do with you in the future so. Every. Son is learning. How to treat his father by how his father treats his father but the son is learning where to keep his. Father, do you see by the example that a father is setting? So watch out. All your members are watching you, all your followers and disciples are watching how to behave. Amen #18 listen to advice key #18 to coming out of obscurity. And there are 31 of these keys. Listen to advice. Amen. Did I give you 17 key #17 Handle fathers carefully, especially what the troublesome ones. Amen. Now listen to advice, David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel. We sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy advice, Blessed be thy advice, Hallelujah, and blessed be thou. Which has kept. Me this day, from coming to shed blood and from avenging myself with my own hand. Blessed be thy advice, big Daddy. Listen to advice. Amen. If you want to do well, listen to advice. Even if it's against what you are doing. It doesn't mean you have to follow everything you are told. Or everything that is said, but think carefully about it, weigh it, consider it, and especially once it's dropping from the lips of certain types. Of people, even. If it's totally contrary to what you. Think or know. Let it not be like the words of a madman that have just fallen over your back and have gone away, but let it be think that you think about. Deeply. You see all these keys I'm giving you think about them because I'm advising you this one. This camp is advice. I'm just giving you advice on how you can come out of your obscurity. I'm not obscure in that sense, you understand. I'm not obscure in that sense. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm my my. Ministry has become, has attained a certain level of visibility. Yeah, you are obscure. Your ministry is obscure. And I'm trying to help you to come out of obscurity. And the keys I'm giving you are just advice. Now listen to advice, ask for advice. Don't ask for advice which you will not follow. Now one of the insults you can avoid is to ask somebody for advice which you know you will not follow. One day some passers were going abroad, they were planning to migrate and everything. And when he came to see me, I said, oh, don't worry, I mean just go. You are blessed. Wherever you go, you are blessed, and so on. So one day he came along with the wife. He said, no, no, no, no. Bishop, what is my father thinking that he's not saying? What is my father thinking that he's not saying? I want to know what my father is thinking that he's not saying? I cannot. I said I want to know. It is very important for me. I said, Are you sure? He prevailed upon me and prevailed upon me and prevailed upon until brother, in the grasses, in the grasses to the back and the air conditioners no more working. Hallelujah. Are you there? Amen. Is it midnight already? Are you there? What was I talking about? What is my father thinking? Then I decided to sit down. OK, I said, look, normally I don't say this one. So I spoke and I said so Bishop, thank you very much. And they did not listen to my advice. They did not do what I said, whatever. So later I was talking to her. I said, you make a fool of me, you prevail upon me. I said no, you are blessed. Whatever you are doing, wherever you are going, I bless you. Go with my blessings, prosper and everything. No, no, no, no, no. Don't like that We can't change anything. Whatever. Tell her what you really think. He didn't do anything like that. So I thought I said you. Make a fool of me. I said because of people like you that later on when somebody asks for advice, you never give that advice either. You just say something vague. Glory be to God on. You guys are doing a great job. Glory be to God. Yeah, it's powerful. It's great. Fantastic. Yeah. It's because of people like you that our mouths have been closed with a zip. Yeah. Because our advice means nothing. But David said, blessed be thy advice. You have kept me from going this way by the words that came from your mouth. And when you advise, somebody in the person thinks you want to advise more. I remember one time I went to a certain camp in a certain country and I preach about mortgages. Mortgages. I've never given that advice, this advice. I've used myself to prosper. I've used it for the church to prosper and I've used it personally to prosper. I've never given that advice to anybody who lives abroad or who lives in the Western world. But that time I gave that advice and I thought I got people. So I opened my heart foolishly. And I spoke all the wisdom that God gave as soon as I left, many of them just went and signed, signed mortgages and so on. I said, look at these people. So then my zip. Oh, yeah. Then you said, please, why don't you come and do camp at oh, yeah, because why has a long tail with two branches? That's why. That's why I'm not come and do a camp there. That's why I don't feel like coming to do I come there. That's why I enjoy coming to do I come there. That's why I better have my notes ready when I'm coming to do. I come there in case I lose the presence of mind and I need to return to my notes for I'm lost in wonderment. I don't understand my message. One day a certain brother came to see me and he said to me. Advise me. Advise me about my my beloved. Advise me about my beloved. Is it a good thing? Is it not a good thing? Is it a good thing? Is it not a good? Is it a good? Is it not a good thing in fire or no? Fire once again I have learnt when a man has been deceived and he's moving forward, never advise him. Even today somebody called me for advice. I didn't give him advice, I just gave a certain wise saying. The brother asked me, said advise me about this. I said I wouldn't advise you. I wouldn't advise until. He asked me a question, he said no. If I was your son, is that what you? So I wrote that the fool, I wrote the advice. Do you know what he did with that advice? He took the paper and went to the girl said This is what Bishop said. But you look at it. Bishop said. What I mean, he said. Here is the evidence. You see why we don't give advice. So watch me carefully. Sometimes. I will not give you the I will not tell you the truth. Yeah, not that I will lie to you, but I will not say what there is to be said. It's true. I'll just say after a place, the rest, especially if you are in the darkness and I'm in the light. And we we we cannot have a certain fellowship. Fellowship at a certain level. Are you listening to me? Are you listening to me, Mercy? So lesson to advice is key number what 18 key #19 Give God time to work things out in your ministry. Amen. Give God some time. I mean, if you ask your wife, I won't give. Across to you. And rise. You have to give them some time. I want to eat bean Stew and Madam plantain and bean. Stew, you have to give us some time or see is it not true? If you want God to bless. You What do you have to do? Give him some time. What do you think? It takes time for real blessings to come. It takes time for you to have a. House, even if you are, you have all the money, it still takes time. It takes time for blessings to to arrive to to develop. Yeah, it takes time. So give God some time. If you want your wife to make jalof rice for you, what do you have to do? Give her some. Time. Give us some time, give us some time. So give God some time to work things. Out and don't get angry and say I've called for jollof and there is no jollof. I'm going to the kitchen myself to sort it out. What is going to come out of the kitchen? Rice water. Rice water will steal. Are you listening to me? Amen. Give God some time, I said. Give him some time. David said the Lord. Forbid that I used to straight forth my hand. Into the kitchen. Yeah, that. Lord forbid the right to step up my hand against the laws, anointed, he said. Perhaps, perhaps the Lord shall. Smite him, or his days shall come to die, or he shall descend into battle and perish. But me, I will not go to the kitchen myself. I'm going to give God somewhat some time to work things. Out as he has planned. Hallelujah. Give God some time. God needs some time to prepare what he. Has for you. And that's why I'll say to Misha, the younger you start, the better. Oh yeah, that's why old missionaries you need to work extra hard because you started late. That is what I want. You see there is an advantage of starting young and also an advantage in starting older, younger. When you are younger, somehow you can't believe certain things. When we say like that you struggle, that there's, this is how life is. This is there. Sometimes you, you, you don't even believe. You think that perhaps something has been set to imprison you, but you don't know real life is like that. That there is just the same struggle. There's nothing. You see, one day a certain brother went to England to do. A course. He thought that when he does that course, he will get a job. So when he finished the job, when he finished the course, he went to apply for a job. I think SCCA is he couldn't, he couldn't get a job. So after that he decided to go and do. Sema. Which is. Chartered Institute of Management Accounting, he went and did that one again. After that, he did what? NBA so after more years, he was seeing that Simma ACCA this NBA when they see his black face and he put the thing there. Sorry, sorry. You know, there's no there's no opportunities. You know, could you come next time, come next year, right. Perhaps we'll see what we can do for you. All right, all right. See you next time. Bye, bye. Have a good day. There's it. One time he went for an interview. The guy said have you have all these degrees, the waiters are you angry with without experience and you have all these degrees without experience, it's criminal. It's criminal. How can you pass that degrees? You don't have any expert. You have never because nobody ever employed him. No matter the degrees that he was getting, nobody was there to employ. But you see in life you would not know that when you have ACCA Simma first degree MBA this nobody wants you still because of that word futility. There is a setting word futility. I read it in the healing book. It's something that humanity needs to be healed from. It's useless, the uselessness of this world. Futility I tell you like to take you some years to find out. That's why people that are not married, they don't know. That's why these two newly wedded beds, Where are they? Will you stand to your feet before something bad happens to me? Where's she? That's why the people were laughing at them yesterday. They were laughing. Say you don't know, you don't know, you don't know. You are new. Hey. I mean, look at where they ask, will you get to your wife and hold her hand now before something happens, get to the job and hold her. Have you been for? Have you been for a prayer? Walk. Look at how it's holding her hand. Hold her. Before you were married you were dreaming of all the yes doctors. You don't know how to smooch all them like that. Doctors, I say. Hold him. Yeah. As if you are feeling cold. Hold him, listen to advice. Sit, sit down, Sit by hand, Sit, sit by hand. Be stroking. Hey, I died just now. Futility. Let's see, I said. Young people have delusions. They don't know that's how when you enter the ministry young that delusion can if you don't take it can destroy because you have not worked before like you have simmer SIM SIM MB, ACCAACA without experience first class in admin first class 1st class followed by SIM followed by ACCA, simmer MBA sin. I know some who have got SIM and simmer SIM Sima ACCA MB, A first class 5 and they just because it's criminal. Amen. Are you there? Yeah. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying. Yeah. So those who are not married, they have various. So that you see your father. Saying I don't want my marriage to be like my father's marriage so as. For me, I'm going to treat my wife this way. As for me, I don't. I don't. I don't want. I mean, the way Daddy, the way Daddy talks, the way that I've decided that when I my wife is going to be Alice in Wonderland. Yeah, you come. That's what my father said to me one day. You see that it's not as. You. See as you think it is, that's all that he said one day, a certain father he called his son. He didn't advise him anything about marriage. All he said to him is that never marry a virgin. So, brothers and sisters, I'm telling you so that the disadvantage of young people are full of delusions. The preaching that we have a lot in the church today, this prosperity whatever is the delusion of a servant who has suddenly become a royal king, like sudden riches. Then you think riches is everything easy, then they go is a delusion. I read it rejoiner Roddy said that the message we have is the delusion of a child, a poor person who has suddenly become rich. And the messages we have are from that delusion is the common delusion of someone who suddenly saw success. That's why all the pop stars and all that destroyed all of them, because having money, having whatever it doesn't, it doesn't make you wise. Amen. All right. OK. When you are old and you enter the mission field, it can also be good because you also realize that look, it's noisy. You have suffered before. If you have never been abroad, it is good to go abroad and camp if you can carry $1000. 01000. Pounds. Back home Obama day when you are when you are going to work for a long time and camp and you have it in your hand. Thousand well done and just 1000. You had 100 lbs when you came back after what? Yeah, you see? But that's when I sent him to Duke. That's why he went. He has been to London before, he has been to London before, he has been to London before. He had nothing futility and he returned. You were owing Lucas. Amen. Are you there? All right? How many keys do you have? Wow. Lot of keys. I've given you how many keys? Yeah, I think it's it's enough keys for a day. We hope you have been blessed and transformed by this camp. To get the most out of it, you will need to listen to it over and over again.
