Welcome to track number four of the Blessings of Abraham. Wow. And we are getting to a very important one here. Which is what? Then after his return. From the defeat of Cheddar Lauma, the kings who were with him, the king of Sudan, went to meet him, that is the King's valley. And Nochezadeh, king of Silent, brought out bread and wine. Now he was a priest of the Most High God, and he blessed him and said, Blessed be Abraham and the God of God Most High, because that's how heaven in heaven. And blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hands. And he gave him what, 1/10? What does your version say? Tithe. Tithe of all. Amen. The king of Sodom said to Abraham, Give the people to me and take the goods for yourself. And Abraham said to the king of Sodom, I sworn to the Lord God High, most High, possessed of heaven, that I will not take a thread or a sandal thumb or anything that is yours. For. Fear you would say I have made Abraham rich. I would take nothing except what the young men have eaten and the share of the men. Who went with me? Anna, Eschel and Mannery let them take their share. Amen. OK now tithing Abraham, the man who is. Blessed is a tiger, he pays tithes. Amen. Who pays hithes Hithing is a characteristic of somebody who is blessed in a certain way. Amen. So I want you to decide today to become a tide. Somebody who ties somebody are going to pay tithes. But today, even if you are not in this. Church, maybe church you are in. Pay tithes. It's not for the church, for you tithing. Is a blessing. It's a miracle. To pay your tithe. It releases a. Miracle power of the Lord. Are you ready for that? To pay ties? How many are going to pay ties from today? Can I see in hand how many are unemployed? Raise your hand. You're unemployed. How many unemployed people are going to pay ties? If you are? You see? Did you eat yesterday? Yeah. Did you survive? Yeah. Did you have? Do you have money in your pockets? You have money? A little show me the money you have. Show me the money. You have this is someone who doesn't have a job. We see that he has something, the person who doesn't have the person. Who has unemployed? That's why I paid for 30 years and half of those years. I was not employed. That I was paid tax, but you say you don't, but it doesn't. Mean anything to me? Do you poo poo? How many times a day? Some of you twice, three times a day, and you say you don't have a job but you are able. To eat so. Much. You are always going to go to our left and why don't you stop poopooing since you are unemployed, there's no money, there's no food and you are going every time. You go there. I remember, I remember, I remember that. You must remember that. You are you. Must remember that you. Can also pay tax students unemployed. Whatever are you there? Are you don't understand what I'm saying? Very important and God is going to bless you. Amen. So it is a powerful, powerful thing to pay tights. Amen. And I want you to become a tighter. Yeah, not for me. After a lot of you are. Going to be paying tights the church is. Working church is going. To be what I want to be, is it not? True, because you don't pay once, you don't pay twice, remember. So you pay somehow, you pay somebody. It's not a tie. Just pay something if you are paying tie. Or God also goes on. Without you, so it's not about. Me. But I'm talking about. Abraham's blessing someone. I am blessed. In the morning. Blessed in the evening, Abraham's president. Why should Abraham's presence be yours if you are not a son of faith, a son or a daughter of Eileen, a son or a daughter of obedience? The same things that made Abraham blessed to pay. Tithe. To the priest, isn't that fantastic? So when? We come back after breakfast. I want to. Share with you a few points on that, OK? And I believe that it's going to be a lesson why people who pay tithes become rich. You you want to know why people who pay that? There's a reason why people who pay tithes and why people who don't pay tithes become poor. Amen. God bless. Stand to your king. Father, we are thanking you for your. Great blessing today you ask your great guidance, your great heart, in the name of Jesus we love you. Thank you for this blessing. Jesus name. Amen Father, thank you in Jesus name. Amen. OK, you may be seated. No. Abraham tithed. Amen. Now I'm going to show you why tithing. Makes you. Wealthy what? What other questions? Because it's a long thing, so I I will just do a little bit. So maybe if I have. Some other questions. Or just one question? OK. Alright so now tithing OK is important and mysterious OK pain times. Now it is mysterious in the sense that it creates wealth. So I want to. Show you. Why tithing makes a person rich? Do you understand? Not even from the Bible. So if you understand it, you would want to do it. Amen. Are you there? So tithing. There are people who think about tithing, though. It's an Old Testament law, under the law and so on, but it is not just something that is in the oath and under the law, the law of Moses. But people. Who are not under the law like. Abraham and Jacob actually paid 10%. Of what they. Had to the priests that was in their day. But it was. It was in. And the most that he just made it the law. So offering to God 10% is something that is all to the Old Testament. You see the teachings on it now the time is a. Miraculous. Thing when you give up. I'm trying to unravel the mystery. Why would somebody who pays tithes become rich? Why are you there? Because. Jews. Are rich, like I was telling you the other day, they are. They are the. Richest community in America. I told you their income, it was one. If the average American is 100, their theirs is 178. Did you get it? They outstretched the next one who is 132 that the Japanese community and down to 60. Two, which is the blacks in the Hispanic forest? Communities now the. The big question is why would somebody who pays tithes? Become. Rich. Why? I mean, is there anything that would make somebody who pays tithes get rich as against somebody who doesn't pay tithes? Do you get what I'm saying? I mean, if it was a practice that makes somebody. Rich. Do you see? Wouldn't you want to? Practice it. I want to do it. Do you get it now? The people who have thought about these things, like the Jews, they have said in their doctrine that this is things that they have practiced for many years, OK, And that Jews give even when it doesn't. Make sense? They have. Been taught to. Tithe over the years. Now, there are several reasons why somebody who pays dice would be rich. Number one now, wealth. Is mysterious. Amen. Are you there? No. That's not that's not one of the reasons I'm reading something from my book Wealth is Mysterious. How many of that is mysterious? Creating or generating wealth is even more mysterious. What you may think makes somebody wealthy is often not what has made him wealthy. Do you get it? One of the. Mystical contributions to wealth creation. Is the giving away of wealth Simple arithmetic Giving away money? Should. Actually reduce your wealth according to arithmetic. Amazingly, giving away wealth seems to create wealth. This is a reality proven by many secular and historic facts. All right, in this chapter I will share with you why wealth is created by people who tithe and give away money. OK #1 the reason why people. Who tithe create wealth is. Because number one, the first reason is that tiny. Christians fulfill the law of humility, which creates wealth. Amen. Now recently I passed through a bookshop, a secular bookshop which was talking about, which was selling secular books, not a Christian book. And this book is talking about these financial things. Books and so. On I have some number of points as to how to become a wealthy business, and I was surprised one of the chapters was humility. Yeah, a secular. Book. Humility, and they also showed that. All. Organizations that have become proud have lost their wealth. This is when you become proud like let's say some of the car companies in America, they say, oh, we can't change. This is how our cars are and this is that we are the oldest car maker. Then another one comes in and then before you realize now. Koreans and then other 4 after Rosie Passat and. Well, please, you are telling me Volkswagen and Toyota and what? Yeah. Die. You get it. Making of watches, Switzerland. Was the number one making. Of watch making of watches. And one day. Somebody came and showed them the technology quotes technology of how to make your watch you must. Always make your watch with these things that go wrong. That is the weather, they said. This is a Swiss. Handmade. Whatever. This, that, that. Didn't they got ticket to Japan? And they became the. Number one, in the case of what they have made to watch this available and they lost. It so. Pride has always reduced wealth. Humidity. Has always made. People wealthy. Because it makes them right. Like one of the reasons why. Black people. Do not become. Wealthy, let's say in Africa. It's because black people often are not prepared to roll up their sleeves and just get down to a hard work themselves. They always have an office executive car. When you give them an understanding by a car driver, this, that, whatever, and they don't, they don't actually get down. To the work. Themselves, you understand? OK, let's build the road ourselves. Let's be on the road. Let's be on the move. Let's do this. No, as soon as the executive car, this stuff, whatever and so on. And so they never, you can't easily create wealth that way. You get what I'm saying? If you sit in an armchair, you know, you never know what is going on. The real cost, the real weather they just want to go for. Loans. From abroad and bring a foreign. Contractor to kind of do it you take. For instance, Ghana. We don't have a lot of roads. If they were to just, you know, do it themselves when they go to school, they learn it engineering, but you know to. Practically get down. And do things you don't want to stay away. Just sit in the room and sign invoices, sign vouchers, approve of loans, approve of money, and that's all. That's how you wear it. Then the driver drives you. Home. Do you get it? Yeah, but right now, Donkey, when he has a crusade, it's white people who come and drive these trucks. Driving of the truck is not for an an inferior human being, the white people. Come and drive the white people. Come and set up the stop. Holding in Nigeria and the places are yeah, they come and do it themselves. They don't leave it for anybody. They drive the truck themselves to the places that when he had one terrible accident. Some people die of white. People. Who died, you see? But it's like. We if we are brilliant. To save, so the drivers should go. It's like the inferior ones. Do you see the drivers use what we are the big shops? We do. We don't. Drive tracks. We don't do such things. You get it so, but that that's the. Great wealth is the creation of wealth comes from being practical, and often being practical means being humble. Yes. Amen. Oh, you don't understand what? I'm saying. I mean, if you want to be sure that you have money, you have to drive a type of car, drive this type of car, live in a certain type of house. It doesn't make you wealthy because because you have to impress people, you get it. You have to live a certain way. You have to live in a particular, you have to drive a particular type of car. You have to do things so, so much. Of wealth that could have been. Real whatever if that's not happened. To you because you. Have to do all these things to. Show. That you have money now. Whenever you pay your tithes, you have to come. You may be a millionaire or you can't be a priest. Who you may think to be a fool to even be a priest. Because you will not even allow. Your child to be a priest. Maybe if your children say they want to be party, say no, no, no, no, not unbelievers or satanic so. Christians in the Church. And pastors, they would not like their children to be pastors and full time pastors. You understand? Yeah. My father used to travel and when he travels. And he comes. He will go to the Anglican. I remember one time, so he has this gift for his priest, his father. He went all the way to the Anglican I was with. Him in the car he says he has this present for the. Priest's. Child. Or the priest something, the package that he had brought from abroad, I mean. It was so important for him to go and see the priest, to give him that gift, that he. Brought from abroad. You see, but when? It was time for. Me to be a priest and to live from gifts like how he was being a gift to the. To the priest. No, no, no, no. Myself, a priest who lives off collections, so. Many of us we we want. Them to exist, but we in our mind. See it as an inferior. Something that's. You know you shouldn't. Really on the center, so whatever you pay tithes. You humble. Yourself. And you go to the. Priest. And you say that God Almighty in heaven created me and has brought me. It's not my. Own wealth. But I see the fool says that there is no problem. I have created. My own work. I worked hard myself. I worked hard. I've come to Australia, I've suffered. Here I went. To school I've done my. Master's, I've done my PhD, I've been into, I've suffered, I've paid my market. I do this, I do this, I do this. I work hard. I get that early. I go here, I do. So I, I, I, I. Why should I take out of that? And kind of get to go, but. God is saying that. The fact that you have. Even breath to breathe, it comes from him. There is a God factor in being the ability to work hard, the ability to even pass exams, the ability to be well, the ability to go to work. The grace of God that made you come to Australia, the grace of God that gave you the position that you have, that you acknowledge that oh God, just like the most time will acknowledge as he's in that place, he bends his head down in the business class or whatever department. You see, the person is not the poor person, but the God, God, God, God is great. God is. Great. But Christians, they don't think God is great. They don't think God has given them what they have. They think they have given themselves what the God is like. My strength and my power has made me who I am. That's why Christians don't be tight. Yeah, that's why Christians don't become rich. That's how they are gay. If I do fundraiser, I say that I want 10 people that give 5000. Dollars will be sitting there till Jesus comes. Don't have? Money don't have money because that God factor. You find it in Juice You. Find it in Muslims look, let me show you something when I. Went to when I went to. Israel. They were all. Wearing this small cap on the head. So I asked one of them, why do you wear? It said because there is somebody. About Wow. There is all about. That's why we wear that thing. It shows that there is a higher power. I went to look to buy. Some. Something for the church. And I was. Negotiating the guy and I said I I came from here and I want to do the most stop me G he said don't say He said I belongs to God say me he don't say I said I. Is God I am. I will go. I will do. Human beings say we all by the. Grace of God or something. I don't say I will. I came about. It belongs to God. The use of the word. I I am good. I am. You are what? So a lot of. Christians. We don't have that thing that Jews and even Muslims. That's why the Bible says. Blessed be the God of shame, that shame. When shame worships God, it worships God with a certain passion. All the nations that came out of shame. They have created the strong religions. In the world. Islam. Christianity. Even. Buddhism comes from that section. Shame God is blessed. It's like if God, I mean if shame has a. God. Shame God will be blessed He's self in power with strength when? A Christian is conscious. Of the fact that. Promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the West nor from the law. That's why I constantly keep on saying we are blessed. Hey, what am I doing in Australia? One day I went to. London with my wife and we went to a restaurant and we sat down to eat. Then the food either came or had not yet come. And I said let us pray and I said, oh Lord, we thank you for bringing us to London. What a. What an. Opportunity. It is to come here. Oh God. Thank you very much. When I open my eyes, I. Saw her look at that precious smile, I. Said, Why are you smiling? She said you are cute. And I said, why do you say that I'm cute? Can you take out that noise? Is it this one? Yeah, OK. Amen, she said. You are cute. She said it's as. If you have not been to London before. But I was born there. That's where I was born. You see, But I knew first of all I could have. Even not been born there because some of my. Sisters and so were not born there and but I was born there as. Soon as I was born, then they left. Yeah, my parents came to Ghana a few months after I was born. I was a few months when they carried me to Canada. So after I've been born in Canada, I was born there. It's very important that I was born there. You see, it's a. Fool who doesn't know as you go to as you go to work and you collect a pig, you are chopping. You are chopping that you don't know that you have even become proud. And it is that very pride that kills wealth. So wealth is created a tiny constantly make you present it. Pastor, thank you. God bless. You. And that's why I was in. I was. Interested of the $4 billion that Jews gave? I was wondering what do they give you offering this? Loan 2 billion. To the priest, the rabbi, yeah, They bring $2 billion every year to the synagogue. It's the most, most synagogue. To the rabbi is there with spring hey it's like God, God help me God help me God help me that's why I'm. Here, that's how they think, you see. That's why you are not rich. Wealth is created by humility. Yes, it's created by humility, but when without humility we cannot rise. And even the secular wealth, they know that without as soon as you become arrogant like McDonald's, they said when they became arrogant, no other companies started to take over. Nandos and others were taking over from them. As long as you give yourself small. But I would say riches do not. Endure to every. Generation, it doesn't just keep moving down you when you come you have to be humble, otherwise you. Use it all. So every. Time you pay tithe. God bless you through the grace of God. That are here you are going. To work this man, God bless me. I had $2000 and I'm worth 200 of it to God bless you. And there are seven types of Givens in my book. When you give, you know where it is going. When you give the Jews they have, they call it Chedeka 7. Types of Chedeka when you give. So when you give and you don't know where it's. Going that's another level. When you give, don't know who you gave it to. That's the highest level. You are going to higher levels when you give you know what. Is going to be useful. You don't know where it's going, you don't know who it went to. How? It was used. You don't even know who you gave to. You're going higher and higher. Wow. Hey. Jews. That's why you see there's a wealth that and that's the wealth that God. Wants to. Bring to his people over the years as we tie it and tie it and we post that down. What is $100? It is from you. If I come, I come to Australia, you know, and even somebody smiles at me, I say God that. Somebody smashed at me. It's an honor. I mean the people that I'm working with, nobody greets. Them, I'm not saying that nobody go there do they are treated, but. I realize that people, people will greet me. They show me respect for kind of, I mean, it's something, it's a blessing. When you go to Pedutas, anybody come to meet you at the airport? Should I go say thank you? I shouldn't say thank you, I should. I should start to say yes. I'm the type who was born for people to greet me. That's the beginning of my fall. How many realize that? You see that is what that's what the. Time. Constantly causes you to be humble. Wow, constantly humble like God. I met a guy who doesn't respect anybody. I went to visit him in his house. When he came to open the. Door He was only wearing pants. He doesn't even bother to where he kept up with his white pants, he said. Yes, come on, what do you want? I was on. Visitation don't respect anything or anyone. Open the door with his. Pants. And then I saw. Him Monday and I said to him, Brother, so and so he must be of that. He laughed. You know, there's a kind of a laughter. Somebody has a kind. Of a smile, a kind of a laughter. Do you see? That it's actually, can you call it cuckling laughter? Cuckling a cuckle? Just. And then he look up here, he said. I should pay that. And he asked me, do you know how much I am? Do you know how much I? Am that I should pay that and you see the ability. To go to work. It comes from cold. You play with it and see. What will happen to you? Yeah. Are you listening to me? This is why when somebody continues to pay tithes, he continually demonstrates his humility and his remembrance of Jesus. That's how Jews are. Now, if you not allow tithing to keep you in constant remembrance of God, God has other agents. Remind you, should he send them this guy who doesn't respect anybody and who opens? The doors with panties. He had a terrible accident with his car, somersaulted everything and he came out of the car. Like spider man? I'm using W spider man or Batman. And. He came out and stood by the car and nothing happened to him. So what I saw him, I thought that that accident has ministered to him, but rather his his. Arrogance was not increased. You are feeling sleepy, all right. His arrogance was was multiplied, but is he? Then he had another accident. That one. Even his arrogance became more. But there was a dead agent when that agent came and he totally changed because now he could no more work. He never was since that since he was he was met. By that again. He has not worked again, he has not worked again and the first time he paid tax he came to me, he said Bishop. I have come I want. You to see that I. Have paid my tithe. Pay my tithe. Wow. You have blessed. Amen. So. Taipei constantly. Oh God, thank you. Oh God, thank you, Oh God, thank you. Some of you are called Pastor today. Pastor. When you analyze. Yourself should you be used. To such a name. Should such a name be? Used to refer to someone like. Only today you are found in the. Church. Every day you enter the church, you say Lord thank. You but you see, we constantly. Don't remember. And so. Prayer we have to learn it from. Muslims from Jews who don't forget their God. Amen. OK. So humility. Amen #2 tithing Christians fulfill the law of. Sowing. And reaping which creates wealth. Amen. Sowing. And reaping. Embodies the oldest law, the oldest, oldest, oldest law of wealth creation. Is sowing and reaping harvest? Sowing seeds, reaping, harvest. Can somebody open the doors a little hot here? Amen. Why do I call it the oldest law of creating wealth? When the world was created before there were industries and before there were industries, before there were factories? What was there? Funds where you sow. And you reap. That's all. That's the basic form format for creating wealth, sowing cities and harvesting. Do you understand? So the laws of sowing and reaping, which are a whole lot of laws, are activated by a tithe because tithing is a form of giving. So you activate the oldest law of wealth creation. It's the oldest law. Plant a seed three months, six months, one year. In Reaping. The harvest. It's the oldest way of getting money since the world was created. Before factories, before industries, before high tech, before computers, before anything. If you want something plants a lot of seeds here all will. Grow you have. Come, you have this, you have whatever, cassava, cassava, leave everything. Then you have your wealth. It's the oldest law. So every time you sow, you give your time, You activate that law in your favor. How many would like to activate that law in your favor? So you activate the law of humility and you activate the laws of sowing and reaping #3 tithing, Amen, Fulfills the law of prioritization, which seeks. That was the day that sowing tears are reaping joy, Amen. These are the old laws of sowing and reaping. And you know, we can go a lot into that, but that's for the sake of Amen. Seek ye first the Kingdom of heaven, Amen. When a person learns to pay his tithes, he learns to put God first. He acquires the habit with dealing with the most important issues first. This habit of prioritization will extend to other areas of his life and lead to success. This is one of the ways by which tigers become wealthy people because tigers learn to put the first thing and after that, this and after that. There will always be a certain order in your finances if you learn how to tie. Now many of us are poor because we didn't know what are the priorities. What do I mean by that? When you were in school, what's the first thing to do academic. Work. But you see some of you were not serious in school. You really know what was best and what was second. You are throwing short foot and javelin. You are running 100 meters. You are running 5000 meters. You are going for morning trotting. You are doing beauty pageant. You are doing whatever is. It this not the first reason why you came to the school. So you know, you don't know what are the priorities. When you so many of you come to Australia, you. Don't know what the. Priority in Australia, you don't know what's priority in Australia. You do a whole lot of other things after you have been here for eight years. You realize that look, if when I first came to Australia, I have no certain things because you don't know that in. Every sphere of life. There is always the first thing that you have to. Do. And the Bible teaches that the. Tithe is, it is. Called another name for tithe. Is fast fruits. The first that belongs to God, the 1st and the best fruits that belong to God. You give the first fruits to God, not the last fruits. God gets First things first. He doesn't get the leftovers. Amen. Many of you don't want to be the second wife. You want to be the wife. Is it not true you. Want to be the? 1st and the best and the. Only you don't want to be among the number number two, number three, number four, you want the 1st. But you don't just give yourself. But you are right. Accept it. You are right. You are Mrs. so and so. You have a child with him. You are Mrs. This. You don't want that because you want to be the first. It's important to you to have the right position. Why do you think God wants you just to give anything that you want? God also wants to have the best. Part it shows your respect. For him. And then it shows you that you you know what to do first. One of the things that have brought me wealth. Is putting the best thing first? Yes, it's true. What? What I. Think is best. Today when I was. In school at the water school, the school that I went to. It's a difficult school. To. Do well in because I've. Never seen a school that has no activities. Volleyball, soccer, hockey, basketball, cricket. I played all these 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, juggling, short put, swimming. I mean swimming, we have the swimming pool, everything. Under the earth can be done in that school, and it is done. Squash piano playing piano. School Cross. Country 5000 meter 1005 Athletics going to Earth test. Activity of. The school is has a good name in Ghana, but the. Truth of the matter is. Few people in that school actually do. Well, like that's one of the high district we call the Prince. Of Wales College. The truth is that out of a large number of people will. Feel actually accept because if you don't have concentration, you will not do well. So when I went to that school in from the fifth form, you do your whole level, then you come to sixth form out of all the many people who were. In the school in the sixth run. Very. Few. Of us were able to enter the school. And. Out of that sixth run group. Only two of us were able. To enter medical school, although it has a big name. Prioritization is a very important thing in the ministry in, in life. And I, I, I decided that I'm not here to learn short put javelin. I couldn't run, I couldn't do all the. Things that they were doing. You get it, I said that I. Will do my academic people laugh at me? Today I can employ all those guys. Many of you don't know what is first. First, you have to be educated. Most of you because you are not educated you have to work one or two, you know one or two and sweating you always have to be a waiter, you have to be a cleaner, you have to be a driver you have to do some of these kind of jobs forever and ever. I never because during the first part of your life when you. Should have prioritized. That this is my youth. I must be educated and take it seriously. Now you have more education when you are accepting age. Even when you go to school and you learn, you don't understand it in the same way that even pass exams. And when you pass, you are seen as a mattress student, understanding a lot of things. Are you guys not from Sierra Leone? Many of you are from Sierra Leone. My. Father went to school in Sierra Leone. We went to school in Ferrabe College, Yeah, that's the school that he went to. And then after that he went to England, you know. Yeah. Many of you didn't go to Ferrabe College, did you go to Ferrabe College, See. Not the school there, but we didn't go. Yeah, somebody did that. At the same school. My father travel. From Ghana to Sierra Leone, go to college. We're trying to be rebels. There's a time. Which you can. Do certain things. If you don't do it at that time after that time you can as a so priorities make a person work. So my father told me what you do in the 1st 25 years of your life will determine how you the next 45 years of. Your life when you learn. Charlie, at this time nothing else is important, only this. Then after that time, you do it, you know, after that you do the next thing like you don't do it, you know, so priority when you're in business. You ask yourself, what are our? Priorities. What are we doing? What are we have our healing Jesus who say we're. Doing We have old cars every day we were repairing, repairing, we were more. Than a mechanic shop then, I said. No, our priority. Is to win, so not to be. Repairing cars. We have tools, we have this every day. We are repairing this. Repairing this Repairing. All the I said that it's our. Priority. To win souls or to repair cars? Then I took a decision that no, our priority is not to. Be. Good repairers of cars, our priority. Is to win souls. I got rid of all the old cars and replaced them with new ones. Now we don't go to filter again. Only. Concentrate on this crusade and the soul. You do not understand that you understand do not do well when it comes. To life. It's true, like me, you know, if you watch me, I don't come and hold a convention here. Three day miracle convention in Sydney which presents Bishop Dyke what Mills miracle signs the fondest night of bliss. Night of this. And no, I just kind of have camps. But you see through my camps that they have, we have more than 1160. Something changes all. Over the world because. I I also know my colleague and I know what I'm supposed to do and I leave the rest for others. I have other friends and other people who can do those nights of extravaganza nights for you. You know I can do it, but that is not what I'm going to do. I don't. Have to choose what I'm. Going to do when I come to Sydney, the one I have a miracle to say and I do miracles and all those that I do it over there, but I can do so many things but which one would I do? You get it so. Richest camp people, they understand our priority is to do this. This is what's important for us. Now that's why when I see. Government officials who just sit in the office, we see people are queuing outside. To see them African government, I just got a minister of you see. Plenty of people outside. Coming to see you relative this one, this problem. Me, I don't have that. I don't sit down for people to come and greet me or to come and see me about something. Hey, I have what I decided to do today. I don't want to be pulled around by people said I know what's the 1st and important thing I have to do today. They cannot come. About 38 people come and decide. What I should do? With my time prioritization. Always creates. Wealth. So no one done wealth cannot get down. One day I took a. Pasta. To go and visit a very high level, make a high level government education and this pasta, when I got there, all Minister of Agriculture was there. Minister of Woman's Affairs was there Minister of this government. I was asking that and pastor is coming to see the president even why should the President have time to see this pastor #1 why should Minister of agreed with the minister of this Minister of this is everyone but there have nothing to do like to be sitting in the afternoon for pastors that when you see the news in Ghana, you see everything Singer, a singer has come. A person who says he wants to do an orphanage. Has come and they have they have time to meet all that stuff there's no role in the country there's no life, there's no water, there's no there's no no it's the guys no one is there priority no wonder the. Whole nation, Have you seen Rick? Tony Blair. Or. Prime Minister Gordon or whatever your Prime Minister is called, What is your Prime Minister called here, Kevin? What right as he see that he see that the dedication from Ghana has come. He's coming to meet them about groundnut funding. Pastor has come from Korea. Pastor has come from this is greeting call on the government, call on the President, call on the. Have you seen something like that here? But Africa, we have a call on this. This is the Pope of the priest of this represent, this call on this call. They are sitting there to be called or not. They don't know what to do first. People call on you do not have nothing to do. That's fantastic. Amen. So as a pastor. Any scale of life. Knowing. What you must do 1st and. What is your priority? Always will make you a rich person when you pay kites you. Have learnt first means and you can give me $100 first I pay tithe I pay tithe even in my house. I have my own offering basket in my house. If I have say somebody gives me something, I. Remove the tithe and put it there. Before I accept the money into my section, I cannot accept any money into my section of money without paying that. I'm afraid of that money and I'll show you why non tigers become poor. Why non tigers are under a case? Are you there? What time do I have? Am I finished? No, I have 30 minutes. Why don't you go to the back and some coffee? Right you here. Yeah, you see, the prison is full of what? Innocent. People, that's why I see married they're always. But there's no referee. No, it's. Not. #4. Tithing. Makes you rich because you fulfill. Let me see, I'll give you. I think I'm going to skip some because the way you are sleeping. OK, next one. Tithing creates. Tithing fulfills the law of emulation, which creates wealth. Almost all the wealth in the world is created by emulation. Emulation means copying, copying, copying somebody who is successful. OK, so many people are successful. Alright, if you want to be successful, copy them. That's what the Koreans did. They copied the Japanese cars, and today their cars are even maybe better than the Japanese cars. Do you understand? Yeah, their cars are just as good as or better than at least as. Good as it's true. Fantastic. How do they do it? By copying the copied Opel, the copied Mercedes and the copied Hyundai copied Toyota Or I don't know, the copied somebody, the copied the copied somebody exactly. That is why I know they copied Opel, because I bought one once that was exactly Opel, the shape, everything. No, there was no change in anything. And I bought a cast and you know, inside the car, inside the engine, Mercedes. But I thought that they couldn't make the engine, so they just make the body. That was the first part they copied. They copied the body part, they made the body and then just imported the engine. And put it in. They understand that. Then after they made the engine, they learned how to make the engine. Then they put it in. It's great. Everybody who has done well has done well by a relation. You copy somebody who? Is successful all right a relation? Now there is a book called. How? Rich nations became rich and why poor countries stay for. There's a book like that, and in that book, one of the chapters. There is the answer, the answer to that question why rich countries becoming and why poor countries? The answer to why rich countries, how rich countries became rich. The answer to that question is the word emulation says copying. Basically all rich countries have copied the other rich country. That is why the wealth in the western world is almost equal. The rules are the same, the development is the same, the style of the cars are the same. When Toyota makes Corolla, Hyundai will make this. This one will make this all the same. They just. I see what you do. I do that. So that's what makes you, that's what makes them rich. But these days they are trying to tell the developing countries don't copy. As you specialize in farming, you make tomatoes. Cocoa and you know. So we make cars, they understand, but the the countries that have Cambridge have not obeyed that thing. They have emulated those and Abramovich and the American economist he. Thought that strongly. Searching forward and catching up. That was his principle. Search forward and. Catch up with. Those ahead of you, if you see somebody doing something, don't leave him to go search. Forward and catch up. Yeah. Are you there? So in 1957, America released what they call the Sputnik. Craft. Which went into space, you get it. And when America saw, they were surprised what they gone to. Space. So America didn't say, OK, you specialize in space technology, we will go into farming wheat and so on. In 1958 they set up NASA, habit of NASA, NASA will sense rocket. It was set up a year after 1957 when this woman went to speed. He said no, Charlie. Search. For it and catch up, see what they are doing, do some and do it better. So they set up NASA and emulated the Russians, copied them, did this and did better. Did you get it? So everybody who has become rich has become rich in the same way, by copying somebody who is rich. Now one of them, the wealthiest groups of people in the whole world, is the. Jews. And one of their major practices is tithing. And if you want to copy a rich person, one of their practice is tithing and giving away work. The rabbi is the teachers. Why do Jews give away money even when it doesn't make sense? So they have learned somehow there is a way in which giving away money makes you. Wealthy, are you there? So searching forward and catching up. Amen. Amen, right? Stand to your feet, everybody lift your hand and just thank God for His blessing, for His. Word. Right, lift your hand and thank God that you are following wisdom keys in the name of Jesus. Amen. Right, listen now I just want to move on cases that follow non Titus skip the rest of the other ones and I'm just moving on curses that follow now tiders and then we are going to go for lunch, right Number one, people who do not pay tithes are cursed with the curses of Malachi the prophet. How many? I heard of the vest in Malachi when a man robbed God. You have robbed me. Wherein have we robbed you you say? See, the sister said. Am I sleeping? You see, where, where, where where did I sleep? And you are saying, ah, when did I rob God? You have it in tithes and offerings, Amen. And he says you are cursed with a curse, but you have robbed me even this. Whole nation. Amen. Number two, people who do not pay tithes. How do you know what is a curse? A curse is frustration, since the world is run by tired. People. The. Richest Australian they are. They work till 10/11/12 whether you are Australian or whether you are. Diesel. Whether you are doctor, whether you are liberal, whether you are capita, whether you are refugee, always you sweat before you eat. If you are a pastor, look at me, I sweat. I'm tired. Yeah. Yeah, I'm tired. I preach all the time. Go here, do this, do this, do this, do this. Because no matter what I have no it always. Ends in the same. Thing you will sweat. You may do this course, you may go here, you may do that. This is the end of it. It's the same. So that's how it curses. You may go up, you come. Down it will come to that point. You may do this business. You may do that in the back. You sweat. You understand so when you are cursed. With the case of Malachi the Prophet, you go up, you come down, you do this event you got, you come to Australia, you do this, you do this course, you get this job, you move from here, you go to Brisbane, you go to Melbourne, you go here, you come here, you go to this island, you go here, you go for America, you go for Japanese, you go for Korea, you go for hybrids. It's always at the same place 0 No I'll marry a married man, I'll marry an unmarried man, I'll marry a virgin, I'll marry a non virgin. It's insanely to come to the same place. That's what this is the case. It come to the same same end that has been predicted. It's always gone away in. Sorrows about conceive her desires are be to her husband. That thing I thought it was. I thought it was men who like. Girls. But when I read, I said girls like boys. Hey girls, they like boys who they are attracted like flies. You see the flies? I cannot help myself. I like. You I want, you do. You like me? Will you come with me? Will you take me to your house? Will you go with me? Hey. Girls like boys. I wonder what are they attracted to? Sisters, is it true that? Girls like boys. I know people telling the truth. I don't think they are telling the truth. One day I was in my. Church and I did an altar call all those who want husband. Marriage should come close my eyes. We're all kidding. So. I'm going to see. And I and I said, look, the Bible is true, but you go up. You come down, you go to the side, you come to the sea. Your desires are be for them. Hey, as I saw someone who was giving birth to about four children. She's coming for the with young young girls who have never had any happen. She's joining them for the competition. She's joining them for the competition and also in need of. That's a case. That's why you. Don't want to be involved? In any kind of a case because no matter the maneuver to make the ends at the same. Place. One day. I had a certain pastor. Whose father died an elderly. Man, but whose? Whose whose? Whose father's? His wife? Died. Her father's wife died. And old lady. And old lady, she was almost 17. Then I saw part of my check. Mothers making some manoeuvres. Anti with her cloth, she was now making a mover so that the man whose wife has died, an elderly man about 70 years old, who see her and choose her now. When he didn't choose her, she was upset and I think he didn't stop coming. This was time to make certain moves. Hey. So you see a kess. That's why you don't want anything to do with anything that. Brings a kess. Be careful of it, yeah. Because. And and you see, Jews, they respect blessings they respect. Kess that is fine. Isaac bless his son. He thought he was blessing Esau, but he was blessing. Jacob So when Esau came, he said you have, Isaac said yes, I have. Made you a servant. Give all your relatives to him, a servant. I have sustained. Me with bread and wine and the words that I'm setting. That his son said it. Didn't happen for me. Have you said anything good you? Didn't believe and they understand and they respect. You go up, you calm down. You go up, you calm down, say. Israel is blessed. You kill 6,000,000, you persecute them, you hate them, you do take. My praise, All niches should be blessed. You'll be a blessing to me. So please anything you. Can do to extricate yourself from a case, do it. Pay your tithes, Is it? If you are in good league of international checks, You are Presbyterian Church. You are a Methodist Church. Whatever church I tell you, don't forget about light out. Don't think about this church. Think about yourself and think about God. Don't think about a church, think about your I'm talking about a basic Christian activity of your life. It's not about which church you belong to. Just think of it's for you. It's not for the church. The church works without your time without your life. The Church has been working without your time in your life. Think of yourself, not. Think about anybody. Obviously think somebody is looking for something. #2. People. Who do not pay tithes are cursed with the curse that. Comes. On. Thieves. Every thief is cursed, so when you don't pay tithes the case of thieves. Comes on you because the Bible. Says. You have. Robbed. Me. What is the cast of thieves? The cast of thieves is found in Zechariah chapter 5 verse 3 and if you don't mind it you can write it down and remember this is the cast of all. So those of you who are thieves, you stole. To be here. You are a thief. There is a cast over your life. Yeah. Those of you who are thieves. But some of us, we are thieves, we have not repented of our steel. Zechariah chapter 5, verse three. He said. Then he said unto me, This is the cast that goeth forth over the face of the. Whole earth for everyone that Steelers shall be. Cut off as on this side, according to it, and everyone that sweareth shall be cut off. Verse four. I will break it forth, Say the Lord of those, and it shall enter into the House of the thief, and into the house. Of him that swears. Forced by my name, it shall. Remain in the midst. Of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. This is the cast it says it will consume. Everything in the. House including the timber and the stones when? You are a thief. A cast comes over your life that. Consumes. Even the wood and the. Stones in your house? You may think that you have got something free, but that cast comes on, you know, when you don't pay your time. Not only are you cast according to what Malachi said, but generally the cast that comes on teeths cancel you because you are now joined the classification of robots. Are you listening to me? You have joined the classification of thieves. People who steal from God #3 people who do not pay tithes. A curse with the curse that comes on those who dare steal from God. Stealing. From God is different from just stealing. When you steal from God, your stealing now moves into another realm. Wow, you may steal now. You are stealing from the wrong person. It's going to turn into something else. Amen, brother, over there. You, you, you there. What's your name, huh? Yemi. Take off your shoes. Throw your shoe. Throw your shoe at me. No, I didn't say throw to the front. Throw it at me like I'm trying to hit me with it but not too happy. But don't hit the lady here. No, no, no, no. OK, my brother, here, take your shoe off and sit down and throw it at me the way it is that you put up to the shoe at President Bush. President Bush was standing here. Now this is what happened to President Bush. Now you see this guy has threw his story, but he's not going to be arrested because he just he just threw it at brother die but. When you threw your. Shoe at President Bush, you go to prison for the same thing. Yeah. So that's why I said that you are. Guessing the case of a thief. Now. He's going higher because you are stealing from God. So. You you are not going to have an additional trouble for doing that. Stealing from God not. From the man the Bible say the eyes of the Lord are everywhere. Behold the good and the progress between the the eyes of the Lord. They are everywhere so. Now you are having the cast. Malaka has proclaimed the cast, Zechariah has proclaimed a case on this that thieves shall have the timber and the stones in their household view. Then #3 you have gone further to steal from God, which is now going to activate something else which I don't know what it will be like. The next one is you are going to those who don't pay tithes. Tithes are cursed with the cases that come upon all who break the law, the laws of God. You see, there are laws. That God has created the law of gravity, law of this, law of that, and so on. They are laws. They are principles. God has made them. It's not you who are coming to reinvent anything. If you jump off a high Cliff, you fall down and you obey the law of gravity. If you break the law, you break Brexit. So when you break God's laws, that the tide belongs. To him, you see all kinds of cases come upon you, and I'm going to give you, it will give you #115 cases upon children, material prosperity that you must watch out for when you don't pay tax. When you get the book, it's all in the book. You see the 15 cases of material prosperity number the next one will give you. 30 more cases of sickness, crop failure, war, captivity, business failure, and poverty that you must watch out. There are 30 of them here, all from the Bible and the next 126 new and repeated cases of defeat, captivity, sickness, persecution and insanity. That you must watch out for when you do not pay tithes and once. Again, it's finished. You play with it and see. That's why you said that you are, you are not. You are not being releasing to the blessings of Abraham because you are tired with God's money. Every time I talk about this I remember a day when they took the offering and the ashes were walked out of the church with a friend basket and some money fell on the floor. It was once like $1.00. Red. Snooting Gun $1.00. When I was preaching, I saw that. Note and I. Said, hey, look at this, this is a dangerous money to pick and a dangerous money to use something that has been put in the basket. Something just $1.00 to. Pick. God's money, you are eating it. You are going shopping and you are going shopping with God's money. You are in the supermarket buying hair to do your hair and you are not afraid. 15 cases of activity, defeat, business failure or failure and insanity. You are not afraid of it. You are moving in town saying you are going shopping to buy new. Shoes to go away? Now #5 But you see this book is, this is a book that we publish. So when it comes, I say. Why tithing Christians become rich and how tithing non tithing Christians stay for that's the title of the book. #5 people who do not. Pay tithes are cares with the cares that. Comes. On those who repay God's. Goodness to them with. Evil. There is a case that come. There are 30. Cases in this category for ungrateful people. Number one said God should not hold his peace again. God should even be quiet again on your case to set a wicked man over him. Stand 109. Let's Satan stand at his right hand. Let him be condemned #4 Let his #5 Let his prayer become sin number six. Let his days be few #7 Let another take his office #8 Let his children be fatherless #9 let his wife. Be a widow. #10 Let his children be vagabonds continually #11 Let his children. Beg I didn't say. Do we say the Bible say that for those who repeat God has. Been good to you. And they return, they thank you. They thank you from God, from God for how we have brought you here, how we have saved your life, how we have. You and put you here the thank you to God is is I don't know God, I don't know him I don't remember him I don't care and I will not even bother to say thank you is there Psalm 1 moment. All these ones are The Dirty of them on some ungrateful people. You will receive all the. Cases of that time upon. Ungrateful people, sure. Me I was giving you. Principle that great wealth you were sleeping. That's why I've come to these cases wake you up now you are not sleeping again. Should have been awake during the wealth wealth creation and we are moving to cases. Let them seek their breath in desolate places. Let strangers call his labor. Let none extend mercy. Let none favor his children. Let his posterity be cut off. Let their name be brought it out. Let the ability of his father be remembered. Let not the sin of his mother be brought out. Let them be before the law comes, you know. Let the memory of them be cut off. Let. Cassin come to, let bless him, be far from him. Let Cassin come to him like water. Let him come to. To him like oil in his bones, let it be unto him, like his garment, let it be his ghetto. Let this be the reward of the adversaries of the world and the reward of them that do not fear God and that will not reward the good that God has done. You reward the good with evil. That's why when a when a father is kissing you, because you know, one day my mother, I went to the the world hospital. Very dirty and I told my mother the place is dead when my hair touches. I don't. Like that place again I want to wash. It you know what she told me. She said, oh, why you have? Slept there many times, I said. Me. That hospital, I've never slept there because no, you have slept there. Since I slept there with you many nights. That's pediatric for when you were a baby. I slept with you night after night. You were sick many times. I was. My mother is a white lady. She came from Europe. She slept in that hospital, very dirty place. It's the same after today. I never knew this what my mother has done for me to save my life. So if I wake up today with abundance. I. Cannot remember anything I've. Come in manifest. I can't say thank you. I have nothing to say thank you for what you have traveled. That's why if your mother says to you, you will be. In this life. You are finished. Follow you all the days of your life. Tell me. Because you see. You'll. Be tired before you realize something different is happening to you. Your whole life is turning into a. Sea. Treble Clef. You know, treble Clef, something that was going straight. To become this week. And now it has gone. The next one, number six people who do not pay cares, are cares with the cares of the closed heavens, it says, And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the iron that is the earth that is under these shall be. Iron. You are going to sow your seed in iron, and the heaven is brass. When God said that I will bless you when you pay off, I will open the windows of heaven. That's why you don't want to come for God to open the windows of heaven. You want the heavens over you to be like brass, and you act under me to be like iron, iron, iron. He said that, oh, bring all the tides. And I will open the windows and all your. Blessing. No, I don't know. When I when I don't pick that, nothing happens. Be there as you go by the time you relate to analyze that the heavens above is more than is more than blast. It's like a shield. There's no water that comes from there, and anger is more than an iron slab. Are you there? How many are you? Let me see. No, but I'm seeing how many there are in total. 8, They are only 8. We are lucky. Hey #7 People who do not pay tithe are cursed with a curse that comes of those who forget God. But I said, how shall I put thee? Among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage. And I said, thou shalt call me my father and shall not turn away. Surely as a wife treacherously departed. Jeremiah 319 departed from her husband. So have you dealt treacherously? With me, O Israel, a voice was. Heard. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel. For they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord God, the cares that is going to come upon you. Crying. Bitter weeping. For those who. Forget and are forgotten their God. That's one of the things that made me very sad about Obama. During his victory speech, he never mentioned court. He never thanked God. He was thanking his little children. He was thanking his wife. He was thanking his campaign manager. He thanked everybody, but he did not thank God. From that moment my. Eye tear, I said. Ah, you are black. Even Michelle Obama, when she. Went to the. During the inauguration. Different, Different that she had had a dinner. She was standing there with one of her new dresses. And she said she said that. There is nothing in my background that should make me stand here at the First Lady of her. There is nothing in my background and there's nothing in. Obama's background that should make him stand as the president, so I thought. That the first person that he would remember is God. That God has something for him. And he was that case. He promised his children that he's going. To get them a dog. He's going to do this. Thank you for my campaign to this guy that this person, that person. I'm greeted because I watched it live. I was putting the test up. It's not possible. It's not what he said. He goes to church, He's a Christian, he's a pastor. He said no God, you think a Muslim will not stand and say here he did by the kiss. And the messy of God. What a shame, what a shame. You see, when you forget, when you take your salary and the first thing you are going to do is something else, It's not God that you remember that you are blessed. Obama. What about yourself? When God bless and give you salary, gives you dog, gives you money, he's the best person. Remember God, oh God, you come, and you like him and give. Him some small says, Lord take $100. You know $100 it's not your time. You just count some Chase, put some 15 dollars $20 and put it and let you give. It to God for God. You've forgotten Obama. Mr. Obama, all these kind of people, God. Leaves you and God helps. God praises you. You've forgotten. That's why every. Time I see him, God, I'm blessed. When I come to my build up I say. Thank you, Thank you, God I Thank you. Oh, why should somebody honor me? Why? Who am I? I. Cannot. Forget, I say. If I forget, let my right. Hand forget how to eat. That's what the same say if I forget the old Jerusalem and the last one as we are going for lunch. People. Who do not pay. Tax are cats with the cats that counts upon idol versions. Who put? Money before their service to God worshipping idols is the number one. Sin that brings the wrath of God. On the people. Care said, Be the man that maketh envy, graving or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the Craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall say Amen. Can you imagine if you make something else in God and something else that's? Not God. You make it your God, your computer brother. Do you have animals in your computer? Put an animal here. Any animal. Quick. Do you have a rat? Cockroach. Any animal. If you don't have safe so that we don't waste our time. All we are saying is don't waste our time. I know my priorities. I don't need your picture, but if you have it, it's better. You got a cockroach. The best I want is a cockroach. Yeah, I didn't have any animal. Or a bat. Or a bed. There's a what? A dead bed? Real dead bed? No, because maybe it has got a bed. What's that? Rabbit. OK, give me whatever you have. No rabbit, give me rabbit. Small one, Give me a small animal. OK, put it on now. Rabbit give me your name tag. Supposing. I now name this rabbit, and I said this rabbit is Jeffrey. This is Jeffrey. Is it nice? I wish you had a cockroach or another animal, not a cockroach or lizard. And I said this lizard is Jeffrey. Is it a nice thing? How do you think God feels when you bring a hand? What animal is that? A cow. I want to cook with that. And I'll put that. I say that's Jeffrey. And they give it to you as a present. Jeff. Oh, your name. What's your name? Huh. Kumba. I say this is Kumba. These are nice animals. You. Know you're very friendly with the bull. But I'm not being a pig and I say this Kumba, a nice pig, and I say it is, it is Kumba. Is it nice? How do you think God feels? How do you think God feels when you take give me $1.10 dollars $5 give me money? When you take that one, you say you are God. You have, you have made me. You have made me in Australia. I I will obey you. Show me. And you say this is God, you worship it. You think God is happy with you? That's the case, the case that comes on people. That worship idols. Is the same when you go to Africa, you see all animals integrated under them. You know this is our God and antelope. Rabbit, cockroach, crabs. They say this is God. They worship it. You think God is? Happy and brings. Cases. And when we in the western world will lift up the wind, I would die for you. People do everything for money. One day I saw a certain lady. She had only one eye. She had. Covered this eye with black. She went to Iraq and they shot her eye. So her eye came out and she has put a glass then covered it with a black. Thing because the whole place is for so she. Used the black with a strap here. Whose money is this? She's using that, I said hey. People can do a lot. Of things so they give. Up their life for everything. Except for God, the real God, they will not die for him, but they will die for money. And you put God. It's a case. It brings a case. So. Dear friend, don't be aware. I don't. When you pay time, you break that case. You know money is not worship. I don't worship money, I give to God the 1st it's nothing. Calculate your income -5 for today if you earn. 2200. Your. Income is 1000. 2200, No, it's 1980 or so. That's your real income, your life that 90. Percent. Don't calculate your future, your plan, your budget, your rent, nothing. When you go to a new job, we have a new job for you. We have an offer for you. We can give you 5000 immediately. You should tell. Recalculate. My offer is 4500. That's a new offer. That's my actual money. Are you listening to me? Are you listening to say we are listening? Are you? Listening to me. You get it. Don't ever. That's why I don't want ever to preach, because of money, because of money, because French. That's why I prefer the price where there is no money than a place where there may be some financial benefit for me. I feel always must be. Maybe that's where I'm going. Maybe. That is, maybe. Deep down in my hand, perhaps after I'm starting to follow something like that age. I'm afraid of that. Do you get it? Wow. What do you think? So what is going to bless you? I was giving you the principles. Of that. I will believe. You couldn't receive it, so I'm switching to these ones. Because you can understand captivity better. Crop failure. Insanity business. Failure and under. Forms of cases. That the law shall. Bless you. Now you see, Abraham was a tiger. He saw a priest. No, he gave. He does no other record of a. Priest in Abraham's side, that when he saw a priest. Being. Tight of all. That he had said no as I see the. Priest. No, but when I see an orphanage or when I see a project to help somebody's eyes or when I see project to do humanitarian good. When I see my priest. When I see my church honor. God. First. After that, other things come. On May the Lord bless you, blessings of Abraham, Jesus name Abraham stand to your faith blessing some Oh come for your shoes I want. You to I want you to show up May. The Lord forgive you for throwing your shoes. I do not have armed. Forces to arrest you. They don't have mercy on you. Bless your shoes in Jesus. Amen. Abraham blessing some man. Abraham bless you someone. I am blessed, come on in. I am blessed, Come on in. The. Father, we thank you. For your great. Blessing. In our life. In. Jesus name all right, are you learning the principle? How many you are going to be the richest church in the name of? Do you believe in something? I declare it over you. God will do it. In many ways you busy, you don't have to think about how can God do it. That's believe what I'm saying. I can believe what I'm saying and obey the word of God and. Let. It in the name of Jesus, God bless your life, catch your life. You'll be surprised when the hand of the Lord is upon you. See, a blessing is that anyway, it's going like this, it becomes this. When it's going like this, it becomes that, it's going like this, and it turns. Out it. Always ends in the same way. That's how my blessing is. It always ends in the same way. That's how a blessing. May your life end in the same way, in a good way, in a blessed. Way in the name of. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Father, thank you for this great blessing of Abraham. Let us come upon us in Jesus name, Amen. Sit down, take out the offering. Who is the person who receives the blessing of Abraham? Who qualifies? Amen. You can see the activities of Abraham. Amen. Genesis chapter 15. After these things the word of the Lord came to Abraham and vision saying not fear Abraham, I am a shield to you, Your reward shall be. Very. Great. Amen. Now the next important thing. Think about a. Person who? God. Exhausts to experience the blessings of Abraham is that the person does not live and walk in fear. Amen. Fear is at the time of evil spirit. So. It is very important that you do not walk by fear. Fear is faith, so just as faith leads you to seven places, fear equally leads you to seven places. Amen. Now it goes on and it says, oh Lord, what do you do? Excuse me, is this a condition on? It's either on the doors are open, so maybe turn it off. The doors are. Open or close the doors. Whatever I think I've been fed. Up for some time. Yeah, you can leave the back. Ones on, maybe this one, Yeah, you can have the back ones on. If you want. This man will not be your heir, but one who comes forth from your own body shall be your heir. And he took him outside and he said, now look toward the heavens and count the staff. If you are able to. Count. Them he said to him, so shall your descendants be. Then he believed the Lord, and he reckoned it him as righteousness. Amen. Now the next very important thing that you need for your ministry is for for you to become to receive the. Blessing of Abraham is. A vision, a good vision for your life Amen. Now the vision that you have is what will make you become what God wants you to become, Amen. So it is important for you to develop a good strong vision for the Lord, Amen. The vision that you have, right? Abraham had a vision. He was in his tent and when he was in. His tent and. He looked up. What do you see when you look up in a tent? In your tent, you see stars. You. See the ceiling? The canvas? Isn't it so? He said. Come out of your tent and see what you see that, he said. I'm going to give you something like what you see. Do you see? So in your life you need. To have something that you see what you see, guides you to what you become more than perhaps anything else. So a good Christian says I believe it already. A good. Christian Amen must come out of the tent. Is that what he says? Remit and see, he said. What did he say to him? Genesis chapter 15. That's fine. And he took him outside and said, now, now do up, look toward the heavens and count the stars. We are able to count them. And he said to him, so shall your descendants be. Amen. So now for God to change your future, He needs to show you something else that you haven't seen before, something that is like your future. Wow, what do you think? A picture of your future. So God is it is constantly in the process of taking us out of the tanks that we have been in. And bringing. Us outside. And telling us to see something new. Now, many people feel that it is only Abraham who was taken out of a tent to come and see the stars. But you too, God constantly tries to pull you out of your tent and show you a new tent, some new stars that you haven't seen before. You see the stars. OK, it's something like this. The future is something like what? Like this? Are you getting it? Yes, your future is. Something like oh exactly, but it's like this now. This is what? Happens when. God. Does different things there are different. Types of stars that. God gives to you. Sometimes God shows you the stars in the form of showing you a man. Then he shows you that man, he said. You see this man? Whom you didn't know before. And. Who you don't know? Or you see this lady. Or you see this? Brother OK your. Future is something like that. That's how God shows you the. Stars and when that picture is imprinted in your heart, like when you are driving. You keep looking. It's a child who doesn't know that you have to see this. Look at this. Look, look at this as you are driving, say daddy, look. Look at that, what you call it. But you see, you know that you have to keep. Looking at what you are seeing, the childhood doesn't really don't keep your eye on something if you are going to drive safely. And similarly, you are also spiritually having your eyes, the eyes of your heart. On something. You get it. And those eyes, the eyes of your heart, are fixed on something, and you are headed there. That's why you are headed. What do you think? Yeah. So sometimes there are different ways. With God shows you stars, sometimes he takes you out. Of your family. And he shows. You a pasta and he will say your life will be something like this, but not the same, but something. What is it? Stars in the world? The Jews are 13 million today. Abraham's children. You get it. And even the Palestinians are not. They're all Imran's children. But these are the real. Imran's children I 60 centre and Isaac and Jacob. So the. Stars Black is something like this. So, so so ladies. Let's talk with the pastors. Son I got shows you a picture you see. Something like this, but sometimes we don't. Let it fix deep in our hearts. But I realized since I came came into the ministry. God has been pulling me out of. My tent, He's coming. Do you see Fred Price? And he showed me Fred Price. I didn't know Fred Price before I said something like this, you see? So I keep. Watching, I keep looking, looking, but I don't even know that that is what is happening, but what it is that God is pulling me out. Of this as you keep looking that it forms a picture and you drive towards that picture. Hey, are you there? Because there's a picture everybody's driving towards, but you don't realize it and God shows you this picture by introducing you sometimes to. People. Sometimes you will introduce it to a rich man. Do you see and show you a picture? That picture forms a picture which you learn. From and can follow. Some of you who want to be rich businessmen so that God lets you. So that is one of those. So that God introduced shows you somebody now. Sometimes God takes you to places. You see so that you. See certain things or even you see certain people. In those places when you drive. Towards it, if you take the first President of Ghana, Kwame Krumen, he had something, he had a picture in his mind that he was driving towards. Because. Long ago, even the. Current leaders of Ghana, in my estimation, I mean, you ask yourself that somebody in 1957 seemed to have a picture in his mind of where he wanted to make the country like. Even as far back as then, he had nuclear ambitions and he set up an atomic center, made a dam to produce the largest. Man made lake in the world. At that time and. Produce. So much more. Electricity than the country. Could use and needed that. He had to bring an an aluminum smelting plant to use. Up some of that. Electricity. Because he did. They they. Just stripping the needs of the country so we have grown. We need far. More than that Dam can produce isn't that fantastic? But he's said to have a picture. He made secondary schools in all the regions of the country universities. All kinds of there is no head of state of Canada since then who has come who seem to have a picture that is born so. Usually great people have a picture that. They're following. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
