Welcome to. Track #5 of Senor Epitier, Lord have mercy. Hallelujah. Are you blessed? Said Benny. Amen. Wow, wow. What were we talking about? Ephesians, the gifts. That God gives the gifts. Now, why can you become an apostle, book or a pastor? It's because God uses ordinary. Doctor Ogo. Explaining to. You. How many are called? Amen. And that many are called because God calls ordinary. People as could you appeal the Jean's ordinaire? So you must take it serious. What it is is that people don't take it serious. You could say securely, Jean the print pastor will. Say you need to take God's calling seriously. The the, the the. Very, very important thing. So in case it shows the tres important, Amen, Amen. It's very important for us to take the concept can use you. Everybody who God uses is an ordinary. Person Amen is an ordinary person I. I personally don't feel special, I feel ordinary. I feel the same I felt when I was in primary school, kindergarten. I still, I feel like a boy. That's how I feel so. Donk. It is certain things made me conscious. Of. Even the fact that God has used me to be a pastor. You said Kajima Util is a poet pastor. And to do his work more of sometimes people's reaction to me. The Pluto reaction. Because I don't feel special, I don't feel good. Don't. Feel holy. I feel just how you feel. I'm struggling just like you. How many are struggling? Yeah, all struggling. That's how I feel. Special feeling that you don't have. I'm also. Afraid just. Like. I also have terrible lusts just. Like. I also. Feel. Jealous. I also wish I was something else so there is nothing but pastor. We like to sort of let the people so say a pastor will never say certain things. They know everything they don't. Fear anything? One day I went on an aeroplane and I was so scared. Oh God, save me on this area. I don't want to die. I was scared. Of flying. When I met somebody, I saw you. I was so happy. I know that I'm safe on this. I am so afraid. That's. The reality? Pastor may not tell you. Pastor is very ordinary. The pastor is 10 more ordinary. That is why you pastors have divorced pastor. First of all, you have to hear that Pastor has had a child. What do you think the? Pastor did before a child. When pastors build their houses. They. Built toilets as well. Because they. Are ordinary people ordinary? Ordinary. Yeah, then. When you hear pastors are divorced. And they try to keep it. Secret. That's what it means. So the announcement of divorce that you are going to hear? Don't the divorce. They are currently quarreling. And in the future when you see that. Everything looks OK, looks so beautiful, looks so nice. Not like that. It's just like you. You want to have sex? You want to rest? You too. You want to eat me? Too, I want to eat too, I. Want to eat? You. Want to lie down? I like. To watch a film. So when God is saying and God gave gifts, human being so special, that is so different. One day I was watching a video of a funeral. The video. The funeral of a pastor. The pastor. I like watching funerals. Museums of. Pastors. The funeral high the. Pastor serve God because during the funeral. After Panola funeral. I learned a lot of things, people who were in their lives. So I was watching the funeral of Kennedy. And then? His daughter Safi, a very fat woman in Ghost Dam concept. She came to speak. And she said Eladi. That. Papa. The main picture I have of him when I came to visit in the house. Was. Him sitting in his. With his big remote. Television, telecom, telecom and he put on the television very loud, watching news, very loud. And she said all the stories that he preaches. We also heard it in the the house on the television very loud. What's the news? Because I'm. Ordinary. If I sort in a diamond. We will. Sprite. You know if I sort in a Sprite? The gas that comes out. The gas you saw? Is what do you call it in Saint-laurent? Hockey song. Just like you, no suffering like you struggling like wishing like so if God is going to give young man, young man, a young man. You are more important in this camp than a woman. With that please important also come Khalifa, you see, because Pascal A. Woman when a woman is. Preaching. She's preaching because the men are not preaching. And Pascal is only Pascal. The men are not taking their. Pascalism, the and don't take their place. God is also not a fool. Jennifer Sit. Down and wait for before a man will. Come. It would take any girl. We need men. Old. Men are going to die soon. Who? Have a long life, life can affect the whole country but affected two people you stay your life can affect your whole people affected. Thank God for old men if you want to give your whole life starting from when you are teenager. That. Would affect the. Country and how affecting the. Whole. World. Amen. So the young men, instead of taking pride, only the pond you have slept with in how many people you have had sex with. You come in the person who have sexual avec. In whose wife you have slept with. They push the key with other such they don't tell foolish achievements the accomplishment idiot, but rather in how much you can pray. You told the the Bible you know. Amen. When I was a teenager, I took pleasure in the Bible that I knew. And. Not the girls that I've slept with. Amen. I had races scriptures until we cannot quote. And I had a friend. This. Was the game we. Played it was not a. Game of sex pornography. Pornography, you have to stop. Reading pornography magazine. After. This they cannot watch it. Pornography you. Cannot read it. You cannot practice. And. You get married, then you have sex after you. Get. Married. Sex. Sex after marriage young man. I did not have sex with my wife before I got married, her before I had sex with. Her. I wanted to. Serve. God. Was struggling. It. Was Benny Smoke was coming out? Sometimes three times a day the fire service will be called to put out a fire. But you are a young man who is a genome. What do you take honor in? You take glory. In. If you are a man and you are a veggie, yes, it is like a shame. You. Have. Not. Slept are. You listening? Are you? Understanding what the brothers and sisters, especially the brothers, I mean when a lady becomes. A pastor of. It is nice, but socially and. Culturally, the man. Who was the head? And the leader spiritual, spiritual, and he could preach the. Had a greater. But when people see women preaching she have ideas or. Maybe she couldn't get married. She protects that's. Why she became a missionary? Maybe she really have a child. Maybe her? Life didn't work. Out, but that's. Maybe she's. Divorced. That's why. They wouldn't say it. They say don't let that. True or not true? So that's why I'm talking to the young. Man. Instead of being a rapper of girls. It's not. Difficult to wrap a girl. But if you see the. If you have been able to wrap a girl, I achieve very. Little. Women, their minds do not work by logic. This is Papala logic. I said a woman mind does not work by. Logic. It goes by feeling what you are saying may not make sense. But that's because you did not put the sounds. He may tell you, you are so beautiful and already your mind is going. The moment I saw you, I knew. I knew I would never look. Again I. Know I never look anywhere meanwhile whilst he's telling you that he's looking, but a lot of ladies would believe it. I love you, I love you. Do you love? Me. The way I love you. One day. A. Certain sister. She had a certain brother. And. This brother was a very bad boy. He. Used to rap girl. He will make one phone call. If there could feel. And talk to one. Girl she. Will be so happy. She'll. Be laughing on the. Phone. Telephone. I love you, baby. Just ten, baby. I feel something inside me. I can't. Live without you. I need you, I need you, I need you in my life. Please don't go away. So he was calling different girlfriends. So one day he called his sister. Come and. Sit on my lap, listen to this. Foolish girl, a good set idiot. So he put the the phone, the telephone and then he will say, I love you my baby, I love you so much. I will walk across the Sahara desert. To. Bring you an ice cream. I will swim across the Mediterranean. Sea. Just to see. You and. Then. He. Told his sister she was just listening, just telling them like. Use a word. Never forgotten the brains of Are you sure you want, He said. They have. They have bad brain. A. Bad the brain. If you can see the chicken and the brain is inside that small head, what a shock. It's a brain full of Bad Brains. This. Is how he described. This. Is how he described his girlfriends brains. They. Have the brain. Of. So if you are a brother and you. Have been able to write, you see. Who some are even saying are having Bad Brains. But if you can preach the word. You see, when I came this morning, I saw Pastor. Edwin. Because it was. It was not supposed to preach this movie. Something came up and I was. Totally. Held up, I said. Preach ministry. Few minutes I was here. You know what is called everybody? Said. Tingle, tingle, single jacks, shabaya by you. Nevu. Your achievement was accomplishment is that you have slept with this woman. Madam, Madam. Undress this woman, that woman. What a shame. I want to see you preaching to call you. Stop preaching. Preach for five hours. I'll be back. And that is what he did. Young man, are you listening? Are you listening? I want you to be a certain kind of young. I no wonder you'll be older. The second preview. You will not have as much sexual desire naturally you. Retire. And your ability to. Influence. To be. Pure because. When you were. A young man. You slept with your wife before you married When? You were a young man, you could never do the right thing the. Way it must be said. Come Saturday, never be is when you become. Old and why you will by all means be old when. You are old. Your parents who are old but are not Christians, they say the right. It's. Like, yeah, So what we need to see is believers. It's only choir. Who are strong young man who is struggling? Who is struggling just like everybody. You are fighting to make it. Are. You listening? Are. You listening so? Gifts are. Going to be the guest for a whole group of people.

The sovereign will. Of God. Amen. Accept the sovereign sovereignty of God, la. Sovereignty, the Jew. Amen. That is revealed through your selection. By what selection? What do I mean by that? When you look at your life, compare yourself with your brothers and compare yourself with your cousin. All right. And where else? OK, OK, OK, great. The Bible Students. OK, powerful. Any other place? No, that's. Beautiful. No, no, I mean, now you see me. I choose. I don't just take anybody who is. Around. Somebody as useless as myself I have the right to. Choose and. I do. Choose. I choose what I want to eat, what I don't want. To eat. What I want to drink, I choose. Whom I want to sing, I have options I have. I have several good sings. Out of them I choose what I. Want. I choose whom I want to work for me. People. Don't just work. Because. They are around. I went to a certain. And I went to eat. In. That country and there was a stranger. Well, there was somebody. There. Who? I did not know at that. Time. Some years later, I. Was. Talking to that person, she was new at that. Time. And she said, it seems you are very choosy about what you eat. When she said. I said. When she. Said many. Years ago. When I met you in that. Country. We were in that. Restaurant. I saw that. You. Don't just like everything. Actually, I prefer hunger. What you prefer food? That I don't. Like. But most people prefer. Prefer. Food to. Hunger I prefer. Hunger. I prefer hunger. Food. That I don't like. Are. You there, you are going home so. Don't if I choose somebody who. One day will be thrown into the ground. To dissolve and disappear. And become a memory. A du veneer in memoir I have the ability they set capacity, choose. You. Must respect. God, that God. Could you? Also. OC has the ability asset capacity and he does choose select selection this I. Don't like? This. So you don't. You think you are here by chance and that thinking will not let you do well. Tell yourself it seems. Have been chosen. Until you tell yourself, having chosen out of my family, wow, you never really realized how real your calling is. Cumbia. Real Francophone. Pleasure, pleasure loving. You see, out of all the people. You, when I look at myself, look at. My. Color. In Kenya they call my color .5. In Ghana they call me. Red Mapel Rouge. They call me Mapel, Lebanese man in Benin in in a way, they call me Yevuvi. On the way. Mapel Yevuvi, out of all the your boobies, out of all the red, out of all the Lebanese. I find a gonna seem to have chosen me amazing. Seems to be. Something God chose. You don't really take it serious. Your heart has been broken. God broke your heart. The love had been working and the boyfriend and the girlfriend had been working. Tell. The truth. So instead of seeing it as you know, see God has chosen. And this is what David had to recognize David, all his family, he was chosen, Bible says, and someone took the home oil and anointed in the midst of his brethren. All of your brothers. There are brothers, there are sisters by you of all people. I said there are brothers, there are sisters, there are people by you. When I look at my. Family. I have a cousin. Sometimes people see me and they ask. Me. Are. You, Rodney. Yeah. Yeah, wow. I was never chosen. Class. Six from Form 1. Cesium. From from 1:00 to from 5:00. Cesium never chosen from lower 6 to upper 6, so Gond. They were choosing prefect. I never chosen and it was a shame in. My. School. To be in sixth form and you are not made a prefect, it was a shame. It was a shame especially, especially if I had been in the school from Form 1. I was in. The school Form 134. 5. 8 of. US. Come in one house out of those 6. Person. Choose the House prefect. And we had only. 4 houses On the West we had only two houses. A. Prep Prefect. De duvoir. Dining hall prefect, assistant dining hall assistant senior prefer for the western compound. That's Doris School as well, all the two House prefect and what are the compound prefixes? And I was one of the few people who are from from 1:00. Day we. Had seven people for the. Executive. The president? I was not chosen. Vice president. The press secretary, Organizing secretary. Secretary. What other secretary do we have? Prayer secretary organizing? Travelling Secretary General. Secretary. 7 when they finished choosing. So for the 1st. Time. They created a new position. I was never chosen. To. Be in the executive. Dollar Executive. Committee. The committee. Executives of the. School. I started 2 branches, branch one at Lagon. And. One at college I was never. Chosen to. Be part of. Buffer party guitarists were chosen. And other musicians were. Chosen. But I was never. Chosen the. One who made the song? What's the song you sing? Now you have the time. Don't let it slip by you. You must take it by the hand. Never, never let him go. Come on. And you must work for him, I said. You must work for him. It is Jesus calling that it is Jesus. Listen, listen, I said. Don't look to your left, don't look to your right. You will stand alone. Now you have the chance. I'm not right now. I must work for Him. I'm saying it and now is the time I'm not calling you that. I was the time, I said now is the time the Lord is calling you. Now the person who made this song was chosen give a lot of shock. You have to shock. Yeah, so not all through my life. Nobody. Has been choosing. Me. Do anything. When I was a pastor they had a Ghana Pentecostal council. Never chose. Me to be. So because of that, I have learned to believe God must have chosen. Me. To do something you it must be God for you to be here. So think about it. The flesh don't put. Everything to chance. You understand your life is not a chance. Nothing happens in your life. You must be good. Bad. Never by chance. Otherwise there. Is no God. We didn't pass your exams by chance. We didn't meet who you've met by chance. Believe. Don't think of yourself in Lighthouse. You have to. Think of it, I am really here by God. 'S decision. So don't. The venue, the the. Spirit of the Francophone. The Esprit de francophone. Is so. Strong. It's an ancient principality, The pleasure, the Plessy luxury. It looks Extravagance. Extravagance, extravagance, extravagance. And wantonness de Bosch and and and it started in sacomocy especially with. Tutu. Marie Antoinette. Avec Marie Antoinette, the wife Lepus. Of King Louis the 14th Louis Cathos. Louis Cathos. She was the wife. Of. Louis Catos. If you go to Paris, you see a statue of Louis. Catos. He built the most unimaginable luxurious. In those days. There was. Nothing like that. When you see the garden is like from here is the garden of your house. Do you? Know. Hospital. When? You go down the mountain all the way down. The. Mountain all the way to the end where? You. Turn right. And Marie Antoinette, Marie Antoinette, she had her own castle Chateau where she lived, who entertained guests and they made dresses. He also is creating all kinds of fashion, the mode, every kind of imagination that you would make the. Dress. So it is from that era, the spirit of the you see, like the fashion. The perfume, fashion label Gucci and I don't know. Louis Vuitton. And you see the things they were the last, and there was no bread in. France, there was no. Bread. So the people revolted against them. They were living in total and they have built this place. Now it's part of Paris, Chateau de Versailles. You go there from here to Panta. It's difficult to comprehend. The. Garden The garden is like a maze, the garden of the house. It's 1. Of the most visited places. In Paris, in the Paris Fashion set the speed, the mod. Pier carden. Pier Carden. And what Dolce E cabana, Louis Vuitton, Vuitton and you? See the fashion in way la mod dress luxury like lutes women, the farm, sex, the sex. Wow, perfume. So even you see the francophones because you haven't had a man of God. Some years. Ago I went to their. Room you see the photo? Of Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Lionel Richie these were their. Idols. My sister love Michael. Jackson, Michael. Jackson Yes, one of my sisters attended a Michael Jackson concert. And she sat. On stage. So they found Christ and they had other idols. Other examples, but when you don't have any God. Can't we have a paddle? Or any good example? We have a paddle. One example. Your idols was the doll. And the examples which you are spending your life following. In this example, the posse what are John A Swift? Are these demonic? Some say shows demoniac people don't say person. Demoniac all their things. It should say laws affair. So Michael Jackson. All. These guys. Stars the Death. When they found Christ throughout all the. Posters followed. Christ what is Michael Jackson? So, ladies and gentlemen. For God to be selecting you, a group will have no real example of a shepherd. And group in a pad of bond examples. From. Today you will live to regret. One day I met a certain. I've met this kind of person. Many times. This was somebody who did not value that I have chosen. I did not know the meaning, how I was taking the person seriously. Because. When people don't take it serious. You are being chosen normal, banal, a lot of spiritual things. When John the Baptist died, everything looked like somebody's birthday party. The man was drinking the. Daughter was dancing. He just make a promise. Laughing promise. And then a wicked jealous woman says. Some. Accident, Jesus said. Is the greatest, so there is no chance when you are working. With. In the Bible. You don't know why you are there, since you forgotten you came to be the queen. So many women, so many girls. Possibilities, the possibility. What do you think he saw in you? You see when you take a woman in farm. There may be about five types of. Women. If I put all of you on stage. You. See that a lot of you look similar? Another group group. Somebody who has 1000 women to choose. From. You look like. All those who came this week are. You listening to? Me as you are here, that long man you know, if you don't obey God, you. Will suffer the. Of despising. A. Very valuable choice that caught. Me. There are some privileges for you. Jacob came. A few seconds later. I. Will give you food, all the things that will come to you. I want it. That's what is called your birthright. The Nissan. The thing is that will come to you. Because of when you were born, of course, the vote. Nissan your birthright? Say what? The right of. Your birth, Lidwa. Denis. The rights of your birth, Lidwa. I want the rights of your. Birth. And he? Said. The rights of. My birth. What's the use of being a best? Of course, I say on net, Premier. What's the use of being in belly gliss? What's? The use of being at the first French. Camp What's? The use of being in the 1st. Ever francophone camp What? Is the use of that give me another boy, don't. Want. To sleep with that I may cheapen myself. Already I'm cheap, it is easy to sleep with so many. Countries have slept with you International. Are you a World Cup sister? OK. Let's answer. I'm choosing. It's a choice. Even me, I can choose if you are going to marry, we will not choose. Why do you think God? First stage you have to see that it is a choice Amen of God.
