Welcome to track number six of the blessings of Abraham and #2 something that was painful, OK, private and painful. Amen. That is painful to you. You read Matthew chapter 6. I believe it is. You see Jesus speaks about 3 private painful things, prayer, fasting and giving. He says if you honor me privately, the Lord will bless you in public. So many of the blessings of the Lord come and people do privately. Are you understanding what I'm saying here? So when you see a man of God, right, maybe things will be doing well or whatever you think about the present that person has experienced or is practicing that. I've almost finished preaching that person doing something privately that is probably painful or has done something that was painful to him privately that leads to public blessings. So every single Jew and descendant that you see that look rich have done something privately painful. And if you ever see a grown up man who is going for circumcision, you will feel sorry for the person. It's not a small thing. It's only because the person is a baby. Most of the time you don't even notice that something is happening. But to be circumcised and Abraham did it, he and I mean Abraham, he was a wild guy. He had a penis which was not circumcised and he was a cut up 'cause they should stones and other things. I think he was very obedient to God. If that's half stone, somebody come to hold the penis and swipe the thing off. And you think about that, all the men here, you call all of them and they say what? I agree that you call this a look. Remove your penis. Let me show you this place told me that you should cut this part of your penis. Remove it. You want to cut today you are going to kill your child tomorrow. You are saying everybody bring your penis. You're going to strike it off. You are going to what is this? But you see this is the the what is somebody that what is the revelation about there? Santa what the revelation that you have share it with us. She does what? How many brothers? I think it's going to be easy to follow Abraham, which is fantastic because circumcision is a, is a is a is a is a sensitive subject. Because people who are not circumcised, many of them don't see why they should be circumcised. Why that is what that's what that is how it is. They don't say and people who are circumcised find and circumcised odd. You get it. So it's it's it's a funny so for Abraham to just get up and say all of you. They say what is circumcised. They say no, I think they are going to shape you this your penis in the new reality. You see what we say circumcision now you get what I'm saying? Yeah, what we say circumcision. We all know what it mean. But he was not introducing this idea to the world. He is the inventor of circumcision. How is he going to demonstrate and how is he going to show it? How is he going to explain it to the people? And and and you think about it very, very painful. And he said God have found somebody too. He could execute his wishes. He was a very special person in the Lord and the idea that God brings him to the As for Abraham, he will do it and and God told God told about himself. I know Abraham, he will command this, but why should I not tell him all this? Why should I not show him visions, angels and so on. I saw him, I know him. He said when you look at us even to pay tithes to give offerings to do certain things to pray you that you will not do anything for God and you look at Abraham who is ready to do this in an explain now you can imagine the first grown up man who is brought that everyone is coming to show that he wants to shake the penises of all his his what do you call it his descendants and he calls without anesthesia about 6000 years ago and he calls them something you can't all of all the men take off that come from about you see they are going to and when you cut off the first one it's all black. You can't see what it looks like because you can cut off and if you don't take a cut off a piece of the. In fact, as I'm preaching, I've appreciated Abraham how many I've really appreciated Abraham that he's some wild person that God found on earth and it's only mistake was that he listened to his wife at that point. You get it. But is he God? You see how God just overlooked that thing. He didn't say anything. God made no comment about Ishmael and all this. He just maintained his stance that yes, you are going to be Sarah is going to this. He didn't say anything about that. Sometimes you should be careful. You are saying something. God hasn't said anything about somebody's mistake. You are sitting there criticizing somebody, trying to kill the person and God hasn't said much. What painful thing are you doing for the Lord? What painful thing are you doing for the Lord? What painful thing are you doing for the Lord that hurt you, that cost you, humbled you, That's that was painful and that was private. What do you do that people don't see? Do you do something people don't see that is painful? That is private, not sin, but it's unravel before the law that brings blessings. Wow. You know that's what I want to leave you with tonight. Go think about it. You know I can go 1000 ways here, but God is telling you when you serve Him, it will cost you. It will cost you looking queer, looking odd. Now you have a new shape of a penis and you are approaching your life. Who is used to the old one? The thing has changed. Look, Abraham was a great guy. Why don't you give Abraham a clap? There is nobody in all the history of the Bible with Abraham's credentials. A big great person. When you say Abraham's blessings are mine, you better look at the personality very well and ask yourself whether you, you, you, you can do the things that Abraham did that brought the kind of blessings that he had in his life. Is it not fantastic? Is it not supernatural Holy Ghosting? Start to your feet and give a lot of clap off from the Hallelujah. Let your hands to the Lord. Father, we thank you for the great blessing that you give to us. Oh Lord, what a great blessing. What a great encouragement. In the name of Jesus, I want us to pray for the widow of our pastor who just died yesterday. Just speaker, my name is Emma. Just pray for her right now that God should get encouragement and his daughter as well. Family grief. From. Fathers in British. Jesus, Jesus name. Thank you. Thank you in Jesus name. 11:00 I believe today we are having an early break. Isn't it tomorrow? 5 AMI believe it's a good time? Can you be here by 5? Huh. Did I give you some reasons why tides create fulfill the law of humility, which creates well #2 that's what it fulfills the law of sowing and reaping, Amen, which is the oldest law of fulfills the law of emulation. Is there any other one there? And then the cases, why is the person who does not pay tithes? Why is he cursed? Because people who do what are cares with the cares of what? Malachi #2 and #3 People who don't pay tithes are cursed? Those who break the laws of God, which are what? 2015 cases of what? Material prosperity 30 cases of what? Captivity crop failure, business failure, disease, insanity, other and then 26 cases of what? All those cases are in the book. Cases of defeat, you say what say cases of 30 new cases of defeat and what business failure, captivity, crop failure, crop failure, All the seeds you've planted in your life, investment, I mean education, seeds of goodness are all failed. Hey, next one. The case that comes or what? What's the case of the close heaven? Upstairs is what brass and downstairs is what iron. Can rain come out of the brass? Can anything grow out of the iron? The next one is what cares that council that this is his name, this is Jehovah. Would you like it if somebody made a cockroach and put your name there and say this is John, this is Joyce. We appreciate it when you come to church on Sunday and the pastor has made a big cockroach and and right lay minister Joyce there. Alright, crap. And right Pastor John. Hey, that's what we are doing to corn. We say this is Corp, I think it's Zimbabwe. And somewhere they have they have a Corp called Yami Yami. Do you know that dog Yami Yami? Hey, he walks up and down the Zambezi River every year. Yami, Yami, how can that be God? And then the next one is what? Who is the man whom God blesses to the blessings of Abraham? The man who overcomes fear. Next one, the visions and dreams. Amen. And see the stands which God is trying to explain His future, that His future is something like this. Wow is it powerful and fantastic. The next one is what? The person who makes a covenant the next managing your mistakes, The person who can manage his mistakes of your life. Amen. What do you think the next one is? What second was that? The last one? OK, now the next one is a person who remembers where God spoke to him. The Bible says Now the Lord appeared to him by the oops of memory. Amen. While he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day, when he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him, and when he saw that, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bow himself to the earth. Amen. Now listen, the Lord appeared to him by the oaks of murmuring. The reason why a person who has the blessings of Abraham right knows where not, not, not not even when, but where he recognizes God's voice. You see, many people cannot say gospel to me here because to me, you know, I was here when the Lord said this to me. I was here when the Lord said. But I realize one of the characteristics of the Lord's voice is that it is such that you will always remember the place that God spoke to you if ever God speaks to you or if you are ever able to recognize God's voice in a significant way. I remember lying. See, I remember taking place. The picture of the place really came to me. I was in my father's hotel. My father had a hotel and I was living in that hotel. I stayed in that hotel for three years when I got married, but I didn't have anywhere to stay. In case you want to prosper, it takes a long time to prosper. So I remember lying and I remember the blue carpet because it was an old blue carpet. The whole floor was covered with a blue, dark blue carpet. When the Lord said give thyself only to me, I remember that. I remember there, I remember lying there. I remember when I was in a hotel in London, a particular place, when the Lord where when he spoke to me and took me to send somebody to Nigeria to start the church there. Yeah, I remember. I remember a place exactly in El Mina where I was like when the Lord told me to start churches in Ghana, in the towns and the villages. I remember the black chair I was in, the Lord spoke to me, my books, that the books would be the mainstay of the foods in my ministry. I remember sitting in the chair when suddenly I had a vision and I saw somebody who advised me to have crusades and always to remember, to pray for the second. I remember exactly if I was the exact. You cannot forget. I don't remember. My wife says to me sometimes that you say you do not remember. It's amazing. You say you don't remember so many things that I meet people. I don't. I don't remember them, she said to me, It's so serious. Like Sandra. I didn't remember Santa. I remember he's so serious. But I can't forget when the nose put to me on the oaks of memory. It was so significant to me that the place just comes back to me in a sudden flash of that place when he spoke to me. Yeah. Look, Abraham was the most supernatural man, perhaps even in the whole Bible, the number said. He tells like the whole three men were standing there. Costa will also keep sacrifice 1 turtle that one cow one option one this one this one this make a sacrifice. Then a deep sea cow. Then he says your children, this is what happens in the future. Hey, take your penis out. We are going to cut cut all penises. An amazing person. Yeah, but you see, all through they marked the place where God spoke to and so did Jacob. That's what these words that we use, we sometimes hear them being used. Bethel Hospital, Bethesda, you know, Peniel, Peniel Christian Center and things like that. All those places where places where God spoke to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and they marked those places and this is where God spoke to me because the Speaking of God to the person is for real. And it's not like God is chatting with you every day, but there are times and places where He says certain things and that's it. I remember exactly where I was standing on the 1st of January 19 19th or so where I 19808087 when I took a decision, the Lord spoke to me about when I took a decision that I was going to be a pastor. Hey, I even the tree that I was standing under as I was stood looking towards Sabah Hall, which is the the whole of this a pastor who just died. And I thought that the sun was just that the day was just turning into tonight was telling me today and I said I it was like within me said I will be a pastor. I will be, but nobody be. I have nobody appointed me as a pastor. I have no one to appoint me as a pastor. No one said that this is a pastor. When I became a pastor, I have to write to an organization and ask them to ordain me. Then they sent me ordination by mail. But you can get certificate all of us for any million Reverend. I was a million Reverend Mr. Correspondence Reverend Mr. Are you listening to me? So I don't know if God speaks to you, but when you crow, that's how, that's how I recommend to you my book, The Act of Hearing. Perhaps it's the most important book. Some things that the Lord told me to write, like the book on tiling. I remember where I was, I was in France and the Lord told me to write a book on tithing. I just wrote it because he told me to write it. There are only two books that God has told me to write specifically, both of them are not published. I've written both of them. One of them is a book on time and another one which I've finished right is 400 pages. Yeah, there's even the popular boobs like loyalty and all the he really like David. But I remember this one that he said to me, do this. Are you listening to me? He says and the Lord appeared by the oaks of memory. Where are your oaks of memory? So if you look at your life, realize that you are devoid of such, you cannot say, OK, I was here, the Lord said this to me, I was here. The Lord said to me always I attend lighthouse or this is my church. That's all. You are direct of that place. Oaks of memory, the oaks of memory better the law spoke to that's why Chekov made this agreement with the law. Peniel was where I think he he he struggled with you see, and and this is the the way they are. He struggled with the Angel, you know, and for that, that's why Israelite they don't eat that part of the cow with the whatever. There are things that happened that affected them after today when an Israelite is by Israel, Israel you see in Ghana when you are getting married, you put on your wedding gown your mother or somebody special, you come and put on the veil. But in Israel until today when you are getting married, you are put you put on the wedding gown and they're coming to put on the veil. It is the man who is going to marry who comes to put on the veil because of Jacob when he married and then he found that it was Leah, he was trying to bury Rachel. In the morning he saw that it was another person. So because of that, he said, it is their tradition, the Jews, that when you are getting my put on the the hatchback, the man will break out to say for sure that this is Rachel is not Leah that he put on the veil. So you see the experiences have affected, I mean history. That's why these places are named. So honestly, I want to say that you can never say you are experiencing the the blessings of Abraham till you start hearing from God. Oh yeah, and you start hearing from God in a very significant way. Well, you see, your life is being guided like this, like this. One day I was, I went somewhere again. It was somewhere in France. Then the Lord spoke to me. When I came to lament to the Lord, I had a serious problem. I complain and pray and fasted. The Lord totally ignored my problem. And then gave me one of the most important instructions of my whole life, which I can't talk about. Yeah, I can't tell anybody, but I don't know where. And if I was in somebody's house, I can't even remember the bed. And when the Lord spoke to me and told me that he had given me the healing anointing, I remember. But you see, I don't know whether you can remember God ever speaking. So if you can't study the act of hearing that book and a book by Kenneth Hagin called How to be Led by the Spirit of God, study these books and become a specialist of hearing from God. That's why I can say to you that God didn't tell me to start the church in Australia that he spoke to me. There are only one or two churches that I thought the Lord told me to start actually said start this one. One of them is a church in Nigeria and one of them is a church in London and the rest of them I just flew. OK, let's go, let's have a church. Let's go, let's go. Have we got one in Australia? Oh, OK, it's a good place. Go here. Have we got one here? OK, try, let's see what they are working. I can't pretend to you now. God said to me specifically go and start the church. If I can leave that some specific ones, because when God speak to you, you don't mix it up with your thoughts and just your musings and your revelations. What I'm telling you is so powerful. I tell you, it is that great wisdom and that great ability to know that God has spoken to you that differentiate and Abraham from an ordinary person, that ability. So my so you see, my brother and my sister is one of the most important things that you could ever do is to know how to hear from God. When you are going to get married, you cannot hear from God. Amen. It's true. You are going to leave your spouse. You didn't hear from God. You don't know what you you don't know. She was just one of Sometimes you are caught in a trap. Sometimes she's the only one. So you have to marry her. You know. You know, sometimes you don't have a choice. The only person is this person. You look at the person. Oh Lord, is this what you have provided for me? You have the rest of choices. Because you only marry at a certain stage of your life and at every stage of your life there are only certain people that are at A level and those are the people that probably call us. So then you see that this is what I have to choose. May God speak to you. You hear it from today. Pray that God will speak to you, but I believe he's speaking. If you can recognize it, you can recognize it. You will soon be like Abraham and you will say I was under a tree at this place is called what? Meru Meru. I was under a tree at Meru. You see that most of you you come the three under 3 here. There's no difference never here at all. So don't force to create something that I thought what I'm sharing with you. It's not something that I intend. It is even reading the Bible that I realized that I myself have a lot of places and experiences that I can say and claim that God didn't speak to me and I I know clearly I don't care. I don't say go to me to start a church here here like big church in South Africa, that very fruitful place to God didn't speak to that specifically go start a church. No, one of my pastors went to do a course in South Africa and once he was there, he started the church. That's how the church started. I can't say that God, God, the law said to you, we go to South Africa. You know it's not true of a lot of go to Australia down in and I have a great work for you there There are many souls that are waiting for you You shall be my lies to the nations. No, it's not true We have the campus after the campus. We just said I'll go to Australia. That's how that's the truth that's the truth, OK, that's the truth. If you want the truth, that's the truth. That's the the only person who volunteered. Is that how he was one of the first people ever to volunteer himself? I didn't say say I was looking at all of them. I didn't say specifically, but I was in a Jew. I was in England in a hotel with this particular hotel. I remember the hotel only they did in November. He told me. I was shocked. I wouldn't believe it. Nigeria, why and the pest too. I was I was a prank that is in Nigeria is one of the most important. You see that they just go back. You cannot be serious work in Africa if you are not serious in Nigeria because one out of four Africans are Nigerian. When you come 123, Nigerian, 123, Nigerian 123, that's how you come Nigerian. It's like China, China here's the China of Africa. Do you get it? Yeah. Are you listening to me? Hey, when you find the oaks of Normandy, maybe he remembered the particular oak tree. Wow, that's why that's why I remember the particular carpet, the particular chair, the black chair I was sitting in my fastest chair that he gave Amen. The next one he says please don't do what I wash dressed yourself under the tree and I will bring a piece of bread. Let me refresh yourself. Let's stick to Abraham. Harry to the 10th, quickly prepare. Abraham runs also ran to the head, took a tender count, gave it to Sarah and Harry to prepare it. He took carrots and milk. They said to him, where is Sarah? There in the tent. I will surely return to you at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son. Now Sarah was listening at the tender, and Sarah and Abrah were old. Sarah was past childbearing. Sarah laughed to a son, saying, After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my love being old also? And the love said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh? Shall I indeed bear a child? Is there anything too difficult with the Lord at the time upon it? I will return to you at this time next year and Sarah will have a son. Sarah and I did harvesting. I did not laugh, for she was afraid and he said no, but you didn't laugh. She, Sarah was lying, but God still blessed her. Do you understand? He didn't hear me. I said she was lying, but God still blessed her. So when you are blessed, that's me. You didn't lie. Liars can be blessed. You pay for it. That doesn't mean the blessing cannot come. You can still get a blessing that you lied. I don't understand what I'm saying. You're a liar but you are blessed. Mercy blessings don't mean you are good or that God is happy with you. So you lied and she denied it. She never changed her mind why she said it. You see that God still blessing with a child. Never use blessing as a parameter. He declared that you are in the will of God. You see all that we have, we are in the will of God. See what we have. Look at how the Lord has done. Oh God is with me. No blessing do not mean God is with you. The fact that Lighthouse is grown, this doesn't mean God is with me, doesn't mean God is happy with me. It's true. I wish it did. But then I just say, ah, I'm glad God is. God likes me. I can rest. Every day I'm confessing. I'm kneeling down free. I read the final quest today. Every day I read the final quest. Today I read my final quest again. And I got a new revelation. It's so fantastic, you know, and you realize that when you arrive, say heaven is both heaven and hell are different from how we thought it would be, is that everybody who knows would live his life completely differently of the way it's limited. If you know how it is like, you will never look like the way you are living both heaven and hella totally different from how we expect. Is it not fantastic? Are you listening to me? Do you know the final quest? It's a book by Rick Joyner. Get it and read it. It will bless you. Amen. So what was I saying? The blessing does not mean God is happening. Because you are doing the right thing doesn't mean that at all. Pray that you will be doing the right thing, that God will be happy with you. Don't use blessings as a barometer. Yes, money is not a sign that God is with you. Houses are not a sign that God is with you. God surviving certain things does not mean God is with you or that he likes you. Has never been a sign and will never be a sign that God is with you. The Bible says that in the last days some people will come saying that godliness gain is godly from such people. Turn away, turn away from somebody who uses gain or increase and to yeah, to to to declare that God is there. The prosperity of the church and the riches of the church does not mean God is rich. Well, I think that God still allows in spite of your somewhereness. You are 29 years old like you say. You are 22, you are 37 and you have reduced your age by 9 years. Look at your hard face and you say you are 27 years old. Like you see the name of a woman. Meanwhile you are a man. The name of a girl is Abela. Abela. And you a man at work they call you Abela. You see a woman's name, but they don't know that you are. It is a woman's name. You say yes, Sir. Yes, Sir. And you say God is blessing me in Australia. God is taking care of me. Oh, God has speak with me. I want to give glory to God. That is why that girl, that prostitute I told you about, that prostitute who was doing her work. The man was jumping over and it was not ending. He said it was not ending for about an hour and then suddenly his heart stopped in the middle of the 8. And she rose up in the name of Jesus and made hands on the man. And then the man came back to life. Now she's using it as a textbook. And God is with him that way. God is great and God is moving. That's why I said, Sarah, you are lying. But I see God is still going to give you a bit of your baby. It doesn't mean that you are not lying. It doesn't mean that it's a good thing. It doesn't mean that God has not seen it. It's true. You need to pray. Say, Lord, forgive me. I'm a liar. I'm a thief. I'm a swindler. Forgive me. Don't let me reap it. Pray let there be crop failure in this case, let there be crop failure, but I may not repeat, don't say it is not there, but it is there. Jacob was blessed. God bless Jacob, but he paid for his deception. It's true. He was blessed. That's why you beat that, Father. You beat this, You beat this, you beat that. He was totally swindler. He was still cheated and he was cheated. Everybody's married. That's what after today when an Israeli lady is going to come and it is the man who comes himself with a pill. I've seen it for myself because I take off the Jewish and actor today. But when I was getting my my my wife, I think she either had auntie or somebody put on her mother, put a pill on and pray for her. Isn't that how they do it? Yeah, but not if you are a Jew. It's not like that. There's no trust because he he he was cheated. You know, because he cheated also sweat people of their blessing, their pet, right? Different, different things. It's fantastic, isn't it? Anyway, that is just by the way, but I think you're going to remember that. How many are going to remember that? God blesses you life. Amen. No, Sarah denied anything. I did not laugh as he said. No, you didn't laugh. She never even changed her mind. Now the 70 the law says, shall I hide from Abraham what I'm about to do, since Abraham will surely become a great enigning nation, and in all the nations will be blessed. But I've chosen him that he may, so that he may command his children in his household after him, to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what he has spoken to him. And the Lord said, the outcome crime of Southern and Gomoris in the great, I will go down and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry which has come to me, and if not I will know. The men turned away, and they went towards Southern, And Abraham came near and said, Will you indeed strip away the righteous with the wicked? Supposing there are 50 righteous within the city, will you indeed sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of 50 righteous? Be far for me to do such a thing, and slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alive. Far be it from you. Shall not the judge of all the earth deal justly? So the Lord said, If I find the sudden 50 righteous within the city, I will spare the hopeless of their account. And Abraham said, Now behold, I have vented to speak to the Lord, though I am badgas the Nashes. Supposing that 50 writers are lacking, Amen. Will he destroy the whole city because of the five? And he said, I would not destroy if I find 45. And he spoke to him again, and he said, supposed in 40 I found that. And he said I would not do it on account of the 40. But he said, Oh, may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak supposed 30. I found that. And he said, I will not do it if I find 30 here there. And he said, Now behold, I have vented to speak to the Lord. Suppose the 20 I found there. And he said, I will not destroy it on account of the 20. And he said, Oh, but the Lord not be angry, I just speak only this once. Suppose 10 I found there. And he said, I will not destroy it on account of the 10. And as soon as he had finished speaking, the Abraham departed. The Lord departed and Abraham attended his face. Now the next important thing that and there's just there's just two of this one and the last one very important thing that what do you call it? Abraham had was he had the appropriate sexually sexual life for each season of his life, sexual life for each season of his life. Amen. Right now sex is amidst the appropriate and corresponding. What other words do you have for where appropriate or do you, what do you say once that is appropriate, suitable corresponds? It is. Yeah. The right appropriate fitting sexual life. Amen. OK, Now there is your sexual organs. Are they there? They are made for a reason. Amen. And most of the confusion in the world is caused by misusing them and doing the functions of these organs in the wrong place and at the wrong time. So before you get married it is wrong to be active. So the same thing is told to you do not. Then when you get married, it is right to be active and it is wrong not to be active. So the same thing that was wrong becomes right just after a day. That is why the sinner's prayer is very important, because for somebody to be a Christian, when the person comes forward and praise that I give Jesus my life, I receive Jesus. That was what is that? Is that all? How did you get married? All the students say, do you take I take you as a wife, that I do. And from then onwards, suddenly everything has changed. I move from here to here change doing different dates just as I do I do I take you as man whatever we shall live together for for better, for worse, whatever I mean from then you are married. How did you get my what did you do just book some words and then so the sinus first very important friend is nothing but just as you become married suddenly and change your whole life by now few words that you say people are changed, for example, and those few words that will lead them to speak when they come to the church, when they come to Jesus as Savior, Amen. Now you must have a corresponding sexual life. We have a sexometer in our marriage, has their mother. Now, before people get married, they always want to have sex and that becomes the problem. How many realize that that happened to you? A raise, a raise, a raise of your hands, Then when they get married, then they don't want to have sex anymore. Is it true or it's not true? That's why it's very true. Is it true? You don't mind me? I will close all the way here. Now. You need to not learn from the world. You need to learn from God about what God created. Most of the time our money has fought. That is why we feel so crude and stained and dirty when it comes to the things that God made. We have. The best place to see God's purity and greatness is to watch animals. When you see things that have not fallen by sin, and you see how it was intended to be, you get it. If you work Leopards Meeting, they come together sometime for one week and they make every hour cover. When I wrote my book, Sexometer, people thought it was high. When you see a leopard, and sometimes they do every 15 minutes or one week, leopards, lions, they can make our every 30 minutes of us. What animals? They they, they, they, they accommodate each other for a week. They meet, some of them come together for two days, three days. They make our for two days. Yeah. If you, if you think I'm like you, when you find Discovery Channel or any what you watch it yourself and listen to the things that they are saying, especially when it comes to the cats, the Wildcats or the animals you just see for yourself. Don't, don't, don't trust me. You go and find it for yourself, OK? Don't trust him. You go and find what is the Animal Planet yourself, the grace of an Apache and the grace of an island. Those of you whose husbands and wives are not here when you go home, you say I've received the grace of an island. Now God told Abraham you are going to have a baby. Now Sarah said two things. She said I am old. Am I going to have pleasure at my age? That's the first problem. At my age, her breasts have become like pancakes. Her bottom is finished, her whole body has changed. Because then when you have a certain age, you have a certain amount of fluid that makes you juicy. Have you seen an orange that is juicy and that makes you voluptuous? But as you get older the juices are have come out that which used to be round pointing towards the North Pole is now pointing towards the South Pole. Everything has changed. One day certain brother saw something and he told me, said Bishop. I've seen something that I don't know how it is. So I said, what have you seen something? I said what is it? He said that he was very bad and he saw a certain lady and the lady had a baby on her back and this lady wanted to breastfeed her child so she would just take the breast and fuck it and the baby would just. It is true, I said. It is true. I'm sorry. And the baby. Now Sarah said at my age when everything has changed and I go to and in addition to that my husband is old. So she knew that not only did she have a problem of self esteem, but the man too is old. That thing which was used to have sex now is used only to women. A fantastic game. Fantastic. So you said the two of us, how we have become, is it not that we are going to start looking for ovulation time and be having sex because you want to have sex, you want to have a child, you must have sex at least every other day, at least every other day. OK, so you can remember that if you are married, you are not married. Do not remember that. Why are you remembering something that. So now Abraham and his wife are now looking for ovulation and they are now going to start hacking. They have to say now Sir, oh lady all. Even her hair has been great, not only of the hair, but all. It's fantastic. But you see, that's the will of God for him. I think the will of God affect your sexual life. Don't say, don't go to have a baby. Even say that you are a virgin. You are going to give them a virgin can have a baby. Jesus was born of a virgin. I have seen a virgin pregnant before. Yeah, I've seen one before. Yeah. Not somebody to have seen before. Yeah. You may ask her after church, but you see it is possible. Not absolutely. I know of of it is something. But anyway, that's beside the point. So the point that I'm making is that God you don't say that. Just go and have like Mary, he said a year from now. So wait. OK, so, so so now you see the old man. When you all get older, you bend over. Let's go you people, many of you are not old, so you don't know some of the problems of old age. But one day a certain old man told me something. He said to me the problem, one of the problems of old age is that your face changes and giving little children comfort of you. He was trying to call little today and they just when they saw him then he said, he said, look, that was a very handsome. It was a very handsome and look at me today. Oh so Abraham with his face and Zella with her face was waxed with her pancakes. But this what boss says. So you, you are married, you are young, you are 30 something. You are real age. I'm talking about your real age 30 something, 20 something, 40 something, 50 something. You are stopped. Christians don't have sex with your spouse because you are only used to fornication and fornication and adultery are different in the sense that there is more excitement when it is stolen. It's it's excitement. So if you are from the world, you can easily not do well. People who are from the world do not talk and do well in the Christian we because in the world you are used to communicating. I mean, somebody's house, your father's room, your mother's room with the garage, the car, uncompleted buildings, the beach, every place you get it, table tops, classrooms all over the place. And then now you are married. Every day the same room become the same girl who has squeezed her face, she's tired, headache, days that just not pass. That's not pass the attitude, the face, the hair has been dyed, all the necklace and other things that she used to make herself beautiful. When she's going and she has to move on, she has to move on. There in the natural states a certain man he was going to marry a certain sister. When he finally entered there marriage chamber, he said my darling, because he was in the as soon as he had the head moved and they moved the head, there was not even one head. You see obviously you think that jokes. One day I said this sister came to me. He said Bishop I have a problem. I said what is the problem? I don't have hair, I don't have even 1. I don't have even just one kind of head on my head. Yeah, the brother, look at the TV. Just then he overcame this and he decided to kiss. The only two were left, one was. Yes. Anyway, that's a joke. That's a joke. I told you. I always tell you when it's a joke. Serious. OK, What was I preaching about, Sarah? Sexually appropriate for your situation. And what is your situation today? What is your sexual appropriate? God said, can I have a chance? So for Abraham and Sir, at their age, it was appropriate at least every other day, if not daily. You get it. So many people don't know how to be Christians. They don't know how to be Christian. They don't know how to do Christian sex, don't even know how to do communication about it. When the minister you are with the minister of moon and stars or some other person jumping on somebody's husband, doing different things like a frog, you are moving aerobics. But when you are married, all your aerobics are finished. I need to be training acrobatics with their acrobatics. Are you listening to me? Don't look at me as if I'm strange. Look at me as if I'm strange. Sex management is very much a part of making it to heaven. Have to manage these sexual aspects of yourself. Don't do less sex management. You cannot make it to heaven. I said no, make no mistake. It is for these these are the wrath of God comes upon the sense of people don't know how to have sex in the the new life of a Christian and they take it for granted. They take it for granted. They can stay three months, six months. If you see them once a month. They have sex once a month. Once a month. Yeah, Always. There's a There's a reason. Because it has no meaning, especially to the woman. What is this this man who doesn't talk, this man who is somewhere now coming to jump on me and he doesn't bash you because some men, they don't bash you. They don't like bashing. Is it true? It's not true. Some people, they go back three days, two days. The person is moving and you don't have any feelings, but you see there is an appropriate sexual behavior of your stage of life. Oral Roberts, he wrote a book, He has written his biography more than once, and he wrote another book, 12 Things that he would give to every minister out of the 12 things about #3 or 4 sex. Regularly have sex with your spouse. At my age, I do my best. You are there berest berest of sex. You are. You claim to be somebody's wife or somebody's husband, but a wife was reverted to virginity. You have reverted. Meanwhile, in those days you should have seen me one day. One day I saw a second beautiful lady coming to church with her handsome husband. They were both wearing some beautiful cream colored outfits, the same thing what she was wearing, what he was wearing. So they came to church and I was pushing in the church and I saw them moving out together. So I said to the pastor, this couple, he said nice. And the pastor just laughed. So I said, why are you laughing? He said, oh, they don't talk talking for something. How do they know which color when you see your this is ironing because it's not only that day they were when, which is green. They have the same twins. They are like twins, Hiss and Hess. They say when you see this one is ironing, the brown one, I know that today is brown. They don't see and they don't have sex. They don't speak. They don't have sex. By the way, they say good to do impress. Do you know, do impress? Impress people don't impress, just impress. I said this girl, she doesn't have sex with their husbands. They have stopped. Young, beautiful, still voluptuous, still with juices, juices, juices. But when she was in the world every she was everybody's girlfriend, jumping in this hotel, in that hotel, this person, this person, even how she came to the where she was. She came through sex like her way to the top. Some people sleep their way to the top. Are you listening to me? So have the You see, it's not appropriate for you to sleep with every important man. Have the appropriate sexual life on your feet. If you want to have a child, you have to have sex. If you want you want to live as a Christian doctor, they have to have Christian sex. You know, it's different from adultery. Adultery and communication. You will, you will not have a problem of exciting, there will be excitement. It just takes place. But this one you look, you look at the person who has been rude to you this evening was irritated you, whose presence is smelling was not bad. You have to guide yourself as a Christian to the appropriate sexual behavior. Just like father Abraham and father Abraham far older than you and Sarah far older than you. Are you afford that Sarah, look at your face. From your face I can see your age. Look at you. Are you married? See. I can see from your face your age. You have nowhere near Sarah's age. And yet I do as good as Sarah was every other day. Where is your husband? Do not be deceived by the beauty and the nice person. They do it for outsiders, not the home. You should go to the house and see their present mother. For Mali, like there are boys, there are boys. The rest of beauty, the rest of everything that makes that beautiful. The perfumes are for outsiders, not for insiders. Necklaces are for outsiders. The hair is for outsiders. The house. In the house. You are like Captain Abbott with the let that even come out with the that you are beautiful outside. When I got my my wife brought that cat to her dog. I was surprised when I said what is this? So I need it for my hair because it affects my hair due to my newness. I didn't say anything. I was new, but after something this particular in my life, I saved in my school, but she didn't mind me. My authority was being questioned. We don't know anything about it. We need it for protection so that the heck can be done. I didn't say because I was new. I didn't say. After sometime when I was a bit older, I came, I said not my sister. Should it be that this particular heart will continue to come to this and myself will remove it? One day I went to buy scissors and I came to hide it under the pill when she was sleeping with that. I said you can bring another one. So today we are correct for somebody outside the one who has made a down week, he doesn't enjoy any nights really enjoying that. Are you a sailor? You see, when you are a new you have to take your time. When you become an old husband, you realize that you have to use your give a lot of. Now ask your neighbor Charlie how is your appropriate sexual? None. Yeah. None. And the final thing that brings the blessings of Abraham is intercession for other people, what I call unselfishness. Remember that Abraham prayed for these people. Amen. Did he not? Have you found the book of Job verse seven, Job 42, verse 7? It came about out of the works. A lot has spoken these words to Job that the law says Alif as the seven my wrath is handled against you and your two friends because you have not spoken of me what is right as my servant job has now that will take for yourself 7 bulls 7 rounds. Go to my seven job and offer an offering for yourself and my seven job will pray for you, for I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your father, because you have not spoken of me. What is right as my seven job has so elephants, the team and height and build out the shoe height and so far the name of I went and did as a Lord told him. When the Lord accepted Job as 10. The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold Amen. God bless Job when he prayed for his friends, Who was Job praying for his friends? Was he praying for himself? But who did God bless? God bless Joe. So there is a secret. When you pray for somebody else, you get blessed. When you help somebody else, you get blessed. I am more blessed as a pastor of Lighthouse for caring for people. I am the one who is more blessed than even the person that I'm helping. It's true. People who live their lives in selfishness, never extending, trying to do something for others, trying to minister to others, trying to love others, trying to open up their lives and their hearts to others. They never experienced certain blessings. The reason why the owners of Coca-Cola Company are rich is because they have tried so hard to do something for us, to quench our first and to give us a nice taste, juicy, of something delicious, something good. You get it. When you do something good for somebody, it makes you blessed. McDonald's are trying to give us hamburgers and of the same type every in every part of the world. It has made the owner of the McDonald's a rich person. If you think about it in that way, you realize that people who get rich are people who do things for others. If you can meet somebody's needs, you will be blessed because you met so. Selfishness is the killer of your prosperity. Now Abraham was here praying for another country. What is the use of praying for a nation, for a useless unbeliever? What is the use of all these things? The use of it is in the reality and the fact that when you open up your life to bless others, you get blessed. So I want to encourage everybody here to become a pastor, to work for God, to be a preacher, to do things for others, to share their work, to learn how to get involved and to live for other people. It will bring a blessing to you. You will be blessed. You will be encouraged. Your life will change. You think you are changing other. You know, as I've been preaching, God has been speaking to me and, and God speak to me by my own preaching. God is blessing me with my own preaching. If it's good for you, it must be good for me too. Yeah, it's, it's helping you. It helps me too. As I'm preaching, God speaking to me, telling me, as I'm telling you to come out of your tent and see the stars, God speak to me. As I tell you, manage your mistakes, God shows me how to manage my own mistakes. Amen. As I teach you, God will bless you when you have that appropriate sexual life. Then I remembered my wife and how I have to get to the job. Yes, how many of you? I realized you have to get to the job quickly. Get to it. Let me be active. Are you listening to me? You see, you think you are. You are helping the person, but you are really helping yourself. Yeah, maybe time when you get involved in the work of God, they start to talk to people and they listen to people. You. But you're you're you're you are the one who gets blessed. The preacher is the one who get more blessed by the message than anyone else. When you open up your life and start to let me also let's share, you even forget that you have a problem. One of the things that shocks people when they find out that pastors have problems. Pastors cry. Pastors are weak, Pastors are sorry, pastors are fake. Don't cry because when you preach, you sound like you know everything. That's when I feel like I know everything. I have the answers. It's not true. I don't know everything. I have a lot of problems when I finish preaching to God, forgive me. God, hey, it's not so powerful. What wisdom is this? Oh, that's so great. This whole life is excellent, you see, But at the end of the day, you find out that you yourself, you, you are, you are leaving the problem. You reason about your problem, try and be a blessing to others. Everything let's you look as if you know everybody, Hallelujah. So once you start to go out to care for ambition for people, for things, I tell you, you have problem like to be as if you don't have a problem. The pastor's speech about marriage. They have marriages, They didn't marry angels. Nobody's married to an Angel. Nobody's marriage is perfect. Everybody is frustrated. But as you've made this time you also didn't look even trivial. You know God touched my heart with the the the deaf and the dumb and the blind. So we are trying to help them try to do something for them. So you know, just going to the deaf and dumb sector, seeing the deaf and dumb, even the people that I sent when they went to the deaf and dumb place the blind when they can do the quiet. Even when they left this, they didn't speak to the country. They look at themselves and say, hey, what am I complaining about? In my life, when I went myself to the deaf and dumb, I saw that I said what am I complaining about? To speak is a blessing. To say is a blessing. A certain man, he was driving up 30 kilometers per hour, 25 kilometers per hour and he was given a fine of $10,000. Here in America he was driving up 25 kilometers which is about 10 and he 10,000 kilowatt because he was driving to a blind that was a zoo where there were blind people because a village or a town where there was blind people everywhere. So they are this week limit was 10 kilometers and he was more than double. Because you see a blind person is so severely, you close your eyes and matter that you cannot see anything from now till you get to get home. When you start to minister to others, your problems become so insignificant. But just look at you, just look at the most blessed person in the world and let's move on. Let's just move on with our lives. Lift up your eyes and become like Abraham and let your life be a blessing to other people. God will reveal to you that look that yours is good enough. In fact, you are in the upper 10% of life, upper 10%. When you see those people on the on the field in the crusade, you realize how rich you are. You see them stretching out their hand for somebody's old dress, old clothes, old brassiere. They are stretching out their hand if I can have it. And you look at yourself, you can't even find your things. You can't even find them when you want to wear. They don't even know where it where it is. That's so many things that you'll have to start a Jambo sale, right? There's so many things. You don't need anything for the next 10 years. If you don't buy anything, you'll be OK. These people are just pressing. Give me something that day you go, that's what you look at yourself and you say that I'm a millionaire and you say that God has place. So start to go out. Your whole life will change. Start to be interested in somebody's problem. When I heard that my pastor, this my pastor had died, You know what? OK, what? The part of it that didn't strike me was the fact that it's like, I'm not, I'm not going to cry because I'm going to cry. Somebody's cry. I'm going to weep. Do you understand? I'm going to be sad. It's not that I'm pretending to be sad, but a certain sadness is coming to me. That's I know, because I'm going to swallow part of the sadness and the depression and the hopelessness and the uselessness of the voting is going to also overwhelm me. And just the thought of it and the utility of seeing my friend lying in the coffin, it's so distressing. But you have to do it. I have to take up part of the bedding. Do you understand of the overwhelming desolation that has befallen a family that is by this separation? It is my way. Are you listening to me? But you see, in doing that, you'll be surprised that you become blessed, more blessed. So may your life be a blessing. May you rise up in Australia, in Papua New Guinea, in Fiji, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, wherever you are, Blacktown, whatever, and become a blessing to many people. One of the great things of Abraham was that it was a blessing to all nations of the world. May the blessing of Abraham be upon you so that at the end of the day it may be a blessing to all peoples and all families and all nations of the world. Father, we thank you for this great blessing and this great privilege in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Now I want us to, I want us to do something. I'm going to just lay hands on all of you quickly and then we are going to close, Amen. So let us sing this song slowly and then just we just form a line here. Listen, Father says Joshua was filled with wisdom because Moses have laid his hands upon him. Amen. So let's just sing this song. It's good. We are going to do it quickly. Just form a line here, one after the other, and then I'm going to pray for you as we sing this song. Abraham's blessings are man. Abraham's blessings are in the morning. Ibrahim's blessings on mine. I am blessed in the morning. I am blessed in the rain. Ibrahim blessing someone. Ibrahim 's blessing someone. I am blessed in the morning later bless you Lady Abraham's blessings on my heart. Keep our hearts blessings on my heart. Keep our hearts blessings on my heart. The. Ibrahim. Come on, I'll get back in the morning. I'll get back. I. The. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
