07. Faith And Love

Welcome to track #7 of my first love. All right #1 #6 #8 all right, hello. The microphone is not clear. The treble, increase it, reduce the mid range, you know, mid range, reduce that one, reduce the bass a bit too, please. And Grace's mic is also not clear. Do the same and increase her volume. OK, good. Is it clearer? Getting clearer, isn't it? Yeah. So clear out all those Husky parts. OK, good, good. Number What is what? What do you have number? Number what number what #9 OK, you OfferUp your Isaac did I give you that one? That was which one number? What, 8? Now everybody has something precious to him. OK, for instance, to you it may be very precious to be married. Many of the ladies who are claiming to be interested in the ministry are actually interested in marriage. We will see you wait because after here, when even on the mission field and doing certain things, you'll find out that people gravitate towards what they are really, you know, and they become whatever. So everybody has an aim. You see, one day I saw a certain brother who was going to get married and I said, I said, Charlie Howe said, yeah. I said, are you looking forward? He said, I'm looking forward. I said, are you looking forward to having sex? He said, I am looking forward to having sex. Then I told him something and he was. Surprised, I said. She also has an aim as. You are going with an aim. She also has a plan of what she's also after. Yeah. Yeah, you think she's a fool. She also has her plan and her desires, which she has not said clearly. Yeah, she also has you. You have your aim. She also has hers. You get it. So with time, all those realities come out clearly, and it is faith that can make you give up something you really value. Yeah. For a man, marriage itself may not be such a great sacrifice for him not to be married. Yeah, you see the young boys, many of we marry because of sex, to be very frank, but as if it is true. Raise your hand. It is true. But it's not like that. We are after companionship, want to be with you, want to build our lives together. Want to look into each? Other's eyes say I love you, I want your company, I like your conversation, I like the security I feel around you. Oh, you didn't even do as well as I did in. School. See you that are coming to give me security so for a brother what he will be giving up when he's giving up marriage will be different from a sister. You get it ruler. So when we say your Isaac is this person specific? Now some of you have a mind to be. Rich. Based on your background of poverty, because of your background of poverty, that situation from the house where you are coming, you don't want that thing again, anything that will distance you from how your house, the house from where you are. Coming is so your aim is richest. So for you, giving up your eyes, maybe giving up what will make you rich so that you'll not be like your father or you'll not be like your mother. Some of you ladies, your ambition to work is to be independent of a man based on what you saw in your mother's marriage. You don't want to repeat history, but the Bible says that the wind that blows to the north turns around in a secular fashion and begins to blow S again. So you may think that you have escaped the north on the South because it has blown north, but the Bible says that it turns around in the circular fashion and begins to blow S after a while. So you end up at the same place. Yes, you end up at the same spot. But I will leave it to time to see whether your life will disprove the Bible. So some of those visions, they are worthless visions because the wind that is blowing to the north will turn around. Secular fashion is about what advantage has man that laboureth or striveth for the wind on this earth that you will discover what is striving for the wind and at the end of your life you will join Solomon by all these say the same words that at the end of his life, unless you work for God. That's when you will not say that it's useless, because in first Corinthians 1558 it says the steadfast and movable, always abounding the work of the Lord. Knowing this, that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. That's the not vain, not vanity. Working in the Lord is the not vanity, but vanity of vanities. All. Is vanity except one thing, Your labor in the Lord is the thing that will not be useless of your life. The same word vanity that is used at the beginning is the word that is used by Paul, that it's not vain, but everything else will be useless. You mark it, you can write it somewhere and a thing that you will never lose and check on it later. Sometimes it's good to write some of those things. Yeah, before you realize, you check and say that I was told that this and that and that the wind that blows to the north, it turns around in a secular fashion and begins to blow S again to the same spot. It ends. That's not advance. What advantage has he that laboureth striveth after the wind? So I thank God for he has given me something that is not vanity, like what I'm doing now. It's not useless. Yeah. All the work of Kwame Kumar Busia champion Rollins Kufu. What has it changed? Anyway, are you listening to me based on your background, some of you don't want to be poor, don't want to be this, don't want to live in Ghana. Some of you are because your father was a businessman who didn't go to school. You want to by all means go to school. You want to have second degree, first degree. So all these desires which are built up in US, you grow up and they become Isaacs in your life. And one day God may call on you and say this particular day to you it is important, but to somebody in person, what is that? Oh, no. To you, it's Isaac. To you the marriage is Isaac. To you the child is Isaac. To you the man is Isaac. To you money is Isaac. To you education is, To you London is Isaac. To you America is Isaac. To live America. To. Sacrifice is Isaac for you. Everybody has his own. Child called Isaac, and so for me what would be Isaac? Maybe even nothing to you. And what will be Isaac to this girl when I listen? But why is she crying? Why is she crying? But to you it is Isaac like to me. I wouldn't say giving up medicine was giving up Isaac. For me, to be very honest with you, I mean, between you and I, just between us, I don't think I saw medicine. It lost its value to me at a certain stage when I was in the school. So stopping medicine wasn't anything. Yeah. Oh. God, I came. Up. Oh what? You go and work at the mochi and become what? And do what? And become these? How? These professors are incolable. It wasn't any very thing that I felt I was sacrificing. Do you get what I'm saying? Yeah. I don't even know whether I've ever sacrificed my Isaac. Yes. Is it only anybody deceive you? Yes, I am here. You may not know. And I also didn't come from a poor home. So. Certain things were not valued. My father had one of the first smiling Benzes in Ghana. First, when the car was moving, that was like an aeroplane. GZ 4314. That was the car #GZ4314. When it came. Hey, the car was like a plane. Yeah, beautiful car. A Benzes not was not any B thing. You get a point. So I don't even know whether anything has been like Isaac to me. Me. I thought I would never have a house more. I thought maybe I've never had a house. My dream was that God would bless me with one of the Dasuman snake flats. If I can get one to stay in, I'm OK. And I taught him as I will never travel abroad again. I mean, that's the end forever. I think those two things were more of something I thought about. But working at the Mortuary, quite frankly, as an honest discussion between us. I don't think it was like as Isaac. Maybe it was another child, Ishmael or Oh no, but not Isaac. Yeah, 1 of Ketura's children Or but not Isaac. I really wonder whether I have had the experience of giving up on Isaac before. Katherine Kuhlman giving up her husband, Mr. Waltrip, who she called Mr. To me. The way she describes it, that thing was Isaac for her. When you read that story, yeah. It's true. Not, not money. Is it but a Guinean who has struggled to see visa, his passport, visa, visa entry? Granted to the United Kingdom, but 90 days you look at it and say. Or green cats. Look at it and say, Lord ha, I shall never return to Ghana. I've finished with Ghana. Do you get it? So for some of us, all those different things were Isaac, another person would come and you may have to give up your boyfriend. Do you see? Don't start coughing, just keep smiling and look straight. This way nobody will know anything. Do you get it? You may have to give up your boyfriend, but you may not even love him. So giving him up, it will be like one of those Ishmael or those distant. But there is a second boy. If you have to give him up, that one will be Isaac. Oh, you don't get what I'm saying. When you have faith, you can give up Isaac. I tell you, Isaac himself will be surprised. You rubbish him, he'll be so surprised. Me. Yeah, you are the one I'm. Coming to sacrifice. Now. You are going to die. You are going out of my life. Isaac. Makes you? Come on, carry your bag. We are going. It's over. Isaac will be shocked. You rabbish himself? Me, He said. Yes, my name. I I know your name is Isaac. Let's go because The Isaacs. In your life, they they feel they can never live. Oh yeah, they feel that they are with you forever. But since I ravished my medical education and made it lower than the passcode rate, when I say ravished, I don't mean it's nonsense. But I lowered it from his high level of mobility. You have to give up everything for it and brought it down below the pastor it artists are looking at it and say, ah, maybe it's not that Isaac is not as important as we originally thought. So a lot of people are looking at their certificate said that you cry, you are tall. Artists have been able to bend it their own. You are not so valuable since people started to leave London and the UK to go on the mission field. A lot of people, let's say London is not one of the Queens of Scots. When she was dying, she said shame on England. And she died. That was her last word. Shame on England. And then she died. Yeah, her last words. Shame. On England. And then she died. She was so disappointed. But a missionary who was on a ship going as he died with fever on the ship of malaria or whatever, he said. I go bounding like a schoolboy who is. Running back home from school, I go bounding to the gates of heaven. That was when he had fever, sweating on the ship, The rocking ship. In the mid of the Atlantic Ocean, yes, said I go. Pounding to the gates of eternity like a schoolboy who has been released from school is going back home. Because you see, it is your labor in the. Lord, that is not in vain. Amen. But the Queen of Scots who have been a queen Coronation shame on England and she died we those where she died. May you never say shame on shame on America or shame on your life as you exit this world in Jesus name. In Jesus name you are the next person to sacrifice your Isaac. Isaac will not live in your life in Jesus name. What is your Isaac? Through faith it can also. Die. Yeah. What they are setting brother to me said to me. I like money, hey, I said. I've not had anybody say like that before. So plainly. I like, I want. Money, I remember as he sat or said to me in my office, I love money. You see, when you say something like that, it can easily become so important that God will have to take it away from you. So don't have anything too precious, but when you make something Isaac for a real life, they will call for it, make it an Ishmael or some lesser child so that there will be no calls for Isaac. When they call for Isaac, they will leave that one. How many understand what? You see, don't make something too special. You love your beloved too much. You love your husband too much. You love your wife too much. You love your child too much. You love the school too much. You love medicine too? No too much PhD too much America England visa green card too much. Now you see that thing has is not the new name is America Isaac America Isaac. You see that God has got send me my. That Isaac in the house, it's true. And before you realize, God will call for it. And before you realize you'll be saying bye bye to something that is so precious. But through faith, you can give up an Isaac in your life. Amen. OK, we are finishing. #1 #9 through faith you can speak blessings. Yes. By faith, verse 20, Isaac blessed. By faith, verse 21, Jacob blessed by faith Joseph. When he died, he gave commandments concerning his bones. Amen. So through faith, powerful words are spoken. When you listen to me preaching earlier, you realize that almost all that I was saying were words of faith. I used to prophecy that we one day have cordless microphone. Cordless microphone. And look at me today. I'm holding a cordless microphone. Yes, there's even a spare 1 here. And I don't know how many cordless microphones we have in the church. We can easily have 1000 microphones at this time. Dizzy. Fantastic. I used to say one day I'll see a church. I don't know who is the person. Yeah, and you're many of you here. Elders of church. I don't even know your names. I don't even know the chief elders name. Who are the chief elders? I went from Benedictus. And who? What is your name? You see, I don't even know your names. Yeah, and I used to know everybody's name. You also lack some arts. Is it to be close? The burden of being close is on the pursuer, is not on the mentor. That problem how to be close is not a problem of the mentor, it's a problem of the pursuer. This is your problem. I don't need to be close to you. You need to be close to me. I don't need to be close to you, need to be close to me. And that problem, the burden of closeness is on the pursuer, is not on the mentor or the leader. That problem is the problem. I have a problem of being close to some other. That's my problem. He doesn't need me. I need him, so he doesn't have that. I have that problem. So you also have another problem. To be known or not to be known is a problem that you have. That burden is the burden. It's on the pursuer. Yeah. Sitting there sheepishly like this is not going to make you known. Being pleasant in your heart will not make anybody know you. Yeah, Nobody gets known that way. And it's dangerous not to be known. Very dangerous. When you are not known, You you become a number. Yeah. When you have no name, you have a number. I don't understand what I'm saying. I said when you don't have a name, you are. What is used is a number and numbers are shuffled without thoughts as to what they are. But names are not shuffled like that. It's true. Are you understanding? Yeah, to the. Burden of closeness is on the pursuer. Humility is the burden of humility is on the pursuer, not on the person who is out there or that person you are mentoring or or that person you are being mentored by or the person you are following or whatever. Now that problem is your problem. You have to solve it or you don't understand my message. Yeah. Where's my Yeah, I don't understand my message. Come, come. When I'm explaining that the burden is on the hesua, what, what does it say? Come. 103 new messages. Yeah, how many? 103 new messages, new text messages that have come. Yeah, unread. Yes, unread new text messages. 103 I'm yet to read. Yeah. Oh, is that not? What is it? Come, come already. 103 Message New message. Apart from the ones that have been whatever. So I have 103 new messages to read. Do you think I can answer your message and write with scriptures quotations? There's there's no. If I answer your your message with even a or even you don't get a message. Even if you don't get a reply, it's your problem, It's a problem. It's a problem. It's not my problem. 103. Yeah, yeah. New ones, I've been removing them throughout. Some of you, nobody calls you and nobody texts you. I know some people, they look at their phone and say well nobody send me a text on my phone. So they take their antion and then they send a text to the tigo so that it will make a noise in the house. So I know that it is working. Yeah. I have I. Have to read. 100 and and I read all my. Texts. Yeah, I don't just I check it. I may not answer or I may not be able to answer. Oh, I leave. I answered very, very short. I sent somebody a text. He was, he was annoyed even that even made him leave the ministry. Yeah, because he sent me a message and I didn't have time to. I didn't. Write, I said. Oh, OK, he said he's going to do this. I said OK and he was offended. Yeah, don't say hey, hey, because the wind that blew to the north, it will turn around in the circular fashion and blow S again before you realize it is blowing on you. So the burden of the. Of of closeness is on the pursuer. If you are not humble, it's up to you. Yes, you get it. Yeah. How did we get into that? You can't remember. Blessings. Blessings on people. How about the words? Yeah, such as that. I don't know the leaders. That's how I can say that I don't even know them. I don't even know the people. So now we are in a place where you, you can easily be relegated to be in a number. You have to learn the technique of somebody who can be known and can be close, because when you are known, you are safer. Yes. In Psalms, you see at the point it says that my safety is in being close. Yes. So it's very important. Amen. Faith, when you speak, it happens. So me, I am a bit careful sometimes when I'm speaking these days. Sometimes I start to. I remember the day before Anita died, I was sat in a car and then I was sitting by Pastor Joel. He was on his way to America the next morning, I think with Delta or something, and it was in the evening. She was going to die the next morning. Then I sat with him. He was sitting by my look at him. I said what is going to happen next? What, what, what is coming? I remember I said, I said what is coming? It's like something is coming. What is coming. I said we don't. I don't we don't even know what is coming. So the next morning or so, he took the plane or that knife something. So when he talked to America, then he heard that she had just died. But you see, it was like I was starting to talk about something that was coming, but I knew in the spirit, but I didn't know what I knew. I didn't even know what I was talking about. Are you there? So when you are, when you are working with somebody who has faith, you should be careful when the person says, even when he's joking. The real faith is when people are not serious. That's when they say what they really believe. Say something like that before I realize in your life is going through a certain treble Clef, you know, treble Clef the next one. Through faith, you can refuse things that everybody else desires. Through faith you can reject and refuse things that everybody else wants. Everybody in the. World wants that faith now, because you have faith you can reject and refuse something that is so precious to everybody else. And that's what Moses did. That was said by faith. Moses when he was come two years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. Everybody wanted to be Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer. Affliction with the people of God, and to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Esteeming the riches of God greater. Greater reproach. The riches of being reproached for God. It was greater. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater than the treasure riches in Egypt, for he recompense unto the reward, Amen. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, but he endured as seeing him who is invisible. Amen. So by faith you can refuse what is so precious to everybody. Derek Prince's first wife. She was about 25 years older than him, you see. Yes, she was about 25 years older than he was, but she was a missionary to Israel, went to look after abandoned children. She was there because Jesus appeared to her in a vision and she felt the love of Jesus and she felt she must show the love of Jesus. So she left Sweden or Norway or whatever and went there and she just lived looking after these people. And one day God sent their Prince and their Prince fell in love with her and decided to marry her of all people. Many times people would come and say to his wife after his finished preaching. Your son really ministered powerfully today. Your son, Yes, your son was really awesome today and it really annoyed her when people said that. Your son has really done well. I really enjoyed your son's ministry because he was her husband. Do you get it? I see she had faith to go and God bless her supernaturally. But you see, every woman would not, would not have left her home country. You leave your home country, then who from Norway are you going to see in Israel? You know, But you see, sometimes when you have faith, you are able to reject and refuse something that is so precious to people. I say, I refuse to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. Everybody would like to be the son of Pharaoh's. So I'm not the son of Pharaoh's daughter. I'm an, I'm an Israelite. Wow. And people are amazed. So yeah, I don't need to be a British citizen or an American citizen or I don't need to have money or I don't need to have this. I don't need to live in the north or the South or the east or the West. I can refuse it. Those type of powers, they come by having faith. That's real faith. Because faith needs to refuse what is precious to the rest of the world. Refuses. I don't need it. Amen. Then the next thing that faith will help you to do is help faith help you to choose suffering. Yeah, he said, choosing to suffer affliction with the children of Israel rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. He chose to suffer. That's why I was telling you that. Those of you who are. Not choosing this suffering. Do you get it? Are you with me? Those who are not choosing this suffering, you can't. You don't have faith. If you have faith, you'll choose it. So when I'm sucking you to go because it's going to be hard, you'll say. No, I want to suffer. I want it. I like to suffer for God, choosing to suffer. And then it's and the next thing that faith is going to help you to do is going to help you to end, to follow something that is invisible. The Bible says he endured as seeing him who is invisible. So through faith you can look at invisible things and be going forward, forward, forward, forward because your eyes are on something invisible. Now, when you don't have faith, you always follow the visible, and when you follow the visible you have to. Follow Where is money? Money is in America. Money is in Germany. Money is in Dusseldorf. Money is in Italy. Money is in Spain. Money is here. But through faith, you will now switch from following the visible and begin to follow the invisible. Read it, Is it not in your Bible? He He endured right as seeing Him. Who is invisible? Invisible. Today's Christians, right, are mostly relying on the visible, following the visible. Yes, yes. That's why somebody may ask me, why would I send a missionary to Nigeria? What is in Nigeria? Yeah. What is in Nigeria is not something visible that we are following. If we are following a visible thing, we will not go to Nigeria. I'll not send anybody to Nigeria. My pastor who is in Kenya, he was not following something visible. That's why he that's not why he left the UK to go and follow something visible using visibility. You will not go yes, we don't follow the visible. When you have faith, you follow the invisible. And the invisible is heaven, invisible is God, invisible is Angel. There is an invisible world where there are things we cannot see. And a man of faith is more into things that are unseen. The invisible world is more real to him than the visible real world. He battles in the invisible world. He can sit in one place for hours, battling with powers in the invisible realm, the realm that is not seen. It's only a man of faith who is a man of prayer. A man of prayer is a man of faith because he believes it in the invisible. That's why he will spend time. You understand fighting it out in the invisible realm, Yes. It's only a man of faith who will look for the anointing which is not seen. You cannot see anointing on me because it's invisible. But a man of faith can cease beyond the visible and seize the anointing. And he's. Following the invisible. He's following the invisible, but somebody with physical eyes will be trying to follow the visible. I want to follow what I see, but you must be conscious of the invisible presence of God of. Angels of the power of God. Of the power of blessings and cases that can. Change your life into a treble Clef. Or on some kind of wriggly line that is no more going straight. No more going straight, but it's now wriggling like this. Based on the word, something that was going straight will now change into something that is shaking. Following the invisible is the life of faith. Yes. And even when you die without ever seeing anything on this earth, you have to. Believe there are many times that I have battled. With God. And ask him to show me some sign, something visible to assure me of my path. Especially whether I am tracking the right path with him and. So that I have that is one of the reasons why they're certain books are interest of interest because I need to see that's why they think that the final question, the battles and certain things, what the demons were doing and different things that were happening and so on because there is an invisible. World which determines the visible. Yeah. You see, when John the Baptist died, when you read the book, when God walked the earth, you see that the angels were asked to stay back. Yes. You see, you may not know. Pastor Prince was telling me yesterday when the flood came. Is it yesterday or the day before? When the flood came, he was going home like this. He was driving and there was a car in front of him and there was a river going this way. So they were growing and he said the car in front of him, it went like that. And then you see there was a gully. I know that road, the road goes like that, but the road has been eaten in this way. So I think there's water here, water here. So the water came and the car was going under. It just went down like that and they were swept away, so you see. He. Could have been the car you just, you see, you just have to be this car or this car and you are dead or alive now. Your Angel, the Angel of your covenant, may have hindered you on the way, and you may have been irritated. But the Angel? Of your covenant was standing at that light making somebody cross the road or do something to delay you by one car, just one. Car. Yeah, but you see, for a man who believes in the invisible, you have faith that these things are really what are working out Now. If you believe in the invisible, you believe in blessings and case more than anything else for God to stop Balaam or Balaam one of them, from speaking the. Case. On Israel, it means that you know. For God to stop. Abraham from kissing Abimelech and ask him to pray for Abimelech after taking Sarah he was helping him a man for God to. Intervene when Lebanon. Was going to. Kiss, Jacob said. Don't kiss him. He could change the history of Israel. Don't kiss him because to change his history, to change his future, to change how his life will be. Don't say that. Don't say that you see sometimes you see a parent just say something. You see by all those things you see, you'll be doing exam, but your life is. Going in a wriggly line, Do you know wriggly line like this? Like an electrocardiograph. ECG Don't say that. Don't say that. Don't say what you are going to say. One day, the Angel of the Law struck me with diarrhea. Yes, I had a running stomach. I've never had before, but I know today that it was the Angel of the of my covenant, my calling, the Angel of my calling that I've been assigned to me in addition to the Angel that was given to me when I was born. Yes, that hinted me because they can come into physical things. You know what had happened was I was in a fellowship and the leader of the fellowship had fallen into a sin so that they were going for what they call. It's like business meeting we are coming to. Sort out issues, especially that guy we used to teach us. The word and has fallen into a problem. We were now going to sort him out that day. So as I got ready to go to go and sort out somebody who has been teaching me the word of God. At that time I didn't know all these things that I'm teaching. The Angel of the Lord struck me down. Supernaturally from about 1:00 to about 4:00 to 5:00 with a supernatural diarrhea something very. Unusual. And then I didn't know where it came from. What was the cause? Nothing. At exactly the closing time of the meeting there sickness ended. Now I was free to to go anywhere I needed to go back. I couldn't go for that meeting. And my friend, my friend came for me. We were going together. He came. He was he was downstairs in my house. I said. I said I. Cannot. I don't know how. I can't believe the most important meeting that I really wanted to show by principles of the Bible. I was going to show principles. God kept me from opening my mouth for. Somebody to look at me and say, you this boy, really, that is what you are saying. Whatever I saw, may you see it also what I saw. May you see one before I realized my whole life is forming a new. Pattern. She's gone to the left. Turn around circular fashion, back to the South, upstairs to the right, twisted to the West, back to the east, and then a point has come in it. If you believe it. Invisible, you believe? Such things are real. There are some days you shouldn't have woken up to say certain things or for somebody to say something on you. You will be tired in this world. Do you know the meaning of that? Let somebody say you will be tired. So a man of faith is a peddler of the invisible. So many of you are no man of faith, but you are the next man of faith to be released in the system as I've now. You are not a man of faith, but you are the next man of faith to be released because you are going to battle with, peddle with the invisible world and obtain your victories in the invisible world. In the name of Jesus, come. How many messages? 105 new messages, yeah. Yeah. The last time, a couple of days ago I deleted my test 1800. I just deleted it so that it would clear off. So you, you are not close. It's not my fault, it's your fault you lack something. That's how come I don't even know your names as you are sitting here. I don't know your name because there's something you are deficient in that will always affect you. You know, there will be good missionaries, good ambassadors, good. So many things. Something that deficient in you. And it's such an important aspect. Yeah, it's not. It's not on me to remember that your name is Rosemont. There are so many Rosemont and your name is Samuel. I'm Sami. Sami is one of the commonest. And by the way, when you have children, don't give them that common names. You know, everybody's IMA, everybody's Sami, that that also does not help you to be remembered now. By faith. You can be a lady who is a help to a man of God. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about 7 days, and by faith the harlot rehab perished. Not with them that believed, not when she had received the spies with peace. Amen. Rehab helped Joshua in his campaign. By doing something. Small but significant in his campaign. His campaign for Jericho was successful through the help of rehab a prostitute not by a virgin. No, no, by by rehab and rehab not a virgin is in the Bible. She's joined in Abraham and when you met Abraham, they did they they said what she's doing now. She's been just all her. I mean she has been justified all the salaries she collected from that work and everything thousand. I mean, her lifestyle that turned into that thing has been justified and you with your righteous nose have not been justified yet. You better rise up and do something by faith so that you have a good report one day in heaven. Even so, through faith, all these aspects are possible in your life. Amen. Is it fantastic? So today God has blessed you with hope and now He has blessed you with faith. So now the Bible says faith, hope and love. These three abide but the greatest is love. So now you have seen the importance of hope. What is hope going to give you? Strength and what else? Energy future. Which type of people are hope people? Pastors of what? Big churches. Big single churches isn't it? And successful politicians. They are preachers of hope. Not anything substantial, just hope speakers. Yes we can. Obama is change. We believe Obama is one of the best examples of, I mean, the power of hope, a black. It brought a black man to be the president of America. Hope was so powerful. It was the power that. Carried. A black man on. Waves over every kind of prejudice and put him at the head of everyone to beat Hillary Clinton and other wild contenders and put him out there as. The head of the richest, most powerful nation in the world, is it not fantastic? That's the power of hope. It shows you how great hope is now. Faith is when you're becoming what substantial action now the. First word. In the doctrine of faith is what? When now now faith is not faith will be faith is going to be faith is the substance now of something that you are hoping for Yes. So you substantiate your claims and hopes by action. Now is that also? And faith is ever what creates things. And faith will make you join the ranks of great people who have ever worked for God. But without faith and without actions, you'll be one of the dreamers who know the theories. And within a few years, you'll be. So. Deep into the word of God, and you'll be our greatest critics. And you'll say, oh dark, he what knows. Oh that guy. I know dark. Dark he what knows kill one mouse that kill one mouse ho that that guy ho don't bite him listen just get up let's let. Me talk, but secretly. They'll go to the website darkinwhitemills.org. They'll be checking. One of my critics could not help himself and he went to see he was staying in a part of England out of London, couldn't help himself. He had been at Caulibu criticizing me. So one day he couldn't help himself and he went to the website I saw. I realized that there was one of lighthouse churches just near where he was staying. So he he decided to go to the church. Yeah. And began to listen to what he had criticized. They get it? Yes. Today he's working for the Lord in the ministry. Yeah. So that I said that secretly. They are going to the website to see what's happening there. Faith. To differentiate you between you and the others. Now, what is going to happen with love? Love is another powerful thing that is necessary for your salvation and your life and your ministry. Thank God for faith, but without love, you get it. There's going to be a whole lot of shortages. Amen. Are you listening to me? OK, so without love, there's going to be a whole lot of difficulties. You can't make it without love. One load. Now we are going to go straight to verse four of First Corinthians chapter 13 question. Now is the time. You must work for him. You must work for God. Amen. Now is the time, now is the time, I said.

You said you could fix a lot that I got so excited to my heart and escape your feet. You feel so good to me. Understood. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes it causes me to drum. Sometimes it causes me to shed some tears, sometimes it causes me to. Know when I think of somebody somebody like you will love somebody like me. Just to think of somebody somebody like you will love somebody like you. I'm a super perfect example. I'm living a life in your plan, a life that was broken and tried out in pieces that you put together again. When I'm down, when I feel insecure, that's when your love is gonna lie. You said. Your love isn't just that emotion, it's just a matter of fact, the whole world. Just to think somebody somebody like you will like somebody like the world. Sometimes it causes me in a combo, sometimes it causes me to shed some tears, sometimes it causes me in. A combo. I think that somebody somebody like you will love somebody like me. Don't you think that somebody somebody like? You will. Love somebody like me. I can't imagine how a king believes wrong to take my place on the cross all alone. He didn't condemn me now put me down. He just loved me. Turn my life around. Or sometimes it causes me to tremble. Sometimes. It. Causes me to share some tea. Sometimes it causes me to tremble when I think that somebody, somebody like you love somebody like you. Just to think that somebody somebody like you will have somebody like whoa, whoa.

Just to think of somebody somebody like you will love somebody like you. Oh, sometimes it crosses. Me in a trap. Sometimes it crosses me in a shed. Some teeth, sometimes it crosses me in a trap. Just to think of somebody somebody like you loves somebody like me. Just to think that somebody somebody like you will love somebody like you.

Shake time, tea time, That crosses me to tremble when I think that somebody, somebody like you will love somebody like me was to think it's somebody somebody like you will love somebody like me. All right, sit down. Now come. 107 new messages OK. All right, now, when you have great hope for tomorrow, for the future, you need great love as well. Amen. Now, first love is a completely different kind of aspect of love. Do you understand? So that is something that we really need to understand. When you have first love, you have something that is very important. Amen. Are you there? OK, great. Now if I speak with the tongues of men and of angels do not have love, I become noise. How many want to be noise? If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and knowledge, and I have faith, and I do not have love, I'm nothing. How many want to be nothing? OK, if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, OK, and I surrender my body to be burned, but I do not have love. It is profit mean nothing. OK, Are you there? You're there now. Love is patient. So now these are qualities that are mysteriously more important than faith and hope. Yes, I didn't say they said the greatest of these is life and the Bible doesn't say God is faith and he that cometh to God must know that he is faith. No, he says God is love. So I I will agree that love looks like the weakest and the most inferior parts of the whole deal. How many things? So too, I mean, I'm talking about how it looks, but in the long run, right, In the long run, what will keep you and what will make you last hour is the last part. Because the faith part, you see, like I was saying, Obama is preaching. Hope. And we can do something. Let's rise up and do something now. It's also preached by politicians. Do you see? We are talking about faith in God. Amen. But the reality you get it is that love is something that is very divine. Now, when I speak of love, I'm not talking about what wild animals have for the young that they bring forth. That is, that's not what I when I say God is love, it's not that I'm talking about something else. And 1st love is also something that animals don't have. They have sex, but they don't have first love. We come to first love hopefully very early tomorrow morning when we start again. But you need to know that is is the divine part that really is going to count in the long run to make you marriageable, to make you able to work for God, to make you able to survive and all that. So when you go through the different things, even the very first, if your love is patience, I mean that one alone is everything, because through patience and faith you can't inherit. If you have faith but you don't have patience, you will not see. Do you get it? Yeah, you will not see. Do you understand? You need to both believe and then have love. So faith works by love. So you need a lot of Christian love. Now you, all of you here have hope. Soon you it will be shown whether you have faith, but the fact that you are the camp shows that you have some amount of faith, otherwise you wouldn't be here. OK. And with time it's going to show up even more. And then with more time, more is going to show up again because by the time you are 20 years after. School. That is when you'll be where I am now, when in 1989 I qualified on the 10th of March 1989 as a doctor after being in medical school for seven years from 1982 to 89. So I went to first year 27 years ago. So if you are in first year, you are 27 years down the line from where I I was. That's a fact. So if you want to see certain things, you may see them, but it may take you quite a bit of patience to be able to see you get it. Yeah. And if you don't have patience, but you just have faith and hope, you probably will not see it. Yeah. But I'm thankful. You know, most of the guys who've come out of school from here, they are quite resilient. I've not really seen anybody come out of the ALOS system who has retained I can't think of anybody to the world, you know, even though there have been ups and downs and so on. Generally everybody wants to work for God still and is persisting in whatever capacity that once they choose that line, you know, and they've been very grateful. That's one of the things to that has encouraged me because they're always sending me thank you, these hundred and something messages. Some of those guys, I'm sure, I mean a lot of them have already sent me texts, you know, today. But they're happy. They are thankful for the chance to be in Nigeria, to be in Kenya, to be in Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique. They are all happy that that chance came. You get it. They never want to retreat really. There may be some ups and downs and some things. You get it. So you do need quite an amount of love to make it OK, and you need to believe it, especially when it's happening. So you need to have patience to see fruits. It takes time and it's easy to abort on the way. Yes, it's easy. To stop. Yeah. Do you understand? Yeah. It's true. And if you, if you dare come towards the ministry, if you dare come, I'll send you to the fire. I'll send you towards the fire so that you become great, the House of the Lord. But it is going to take time. I don't even know what you're made of till after you've been around. Like I said, most of you are liabilities. We now have to train you. Yeah. Even in the secular world, they don't. They no longer accept degrees from our universities. No, they have to train you again. I mean, you should see when people write letters, you'll be shocked. Yes, If you've ever had different people write things for you, you will appreciate somebody who can type with good English. Yeah. One day I gave a letter to somebody to type, and when the letter came back, every 3 words was a very severe mistake, not like a casual mistake. Every 3 words was severe criminal error, grammatical error, spelling, and I disbanded the person's job almost immediately. You get it. So when you grow, you realize what a blessing it is. Are somebody you can spell you see where the person knows what you mean, you get it. So with time for the next 5 years, some of you say you want to be How many want to work for God full time in the ministry? Hey, are you not afraid? Raise your hand if you want to work for God, you are not afraid. How many are afraid? Raise your hand. OK, good. Oh, raise your hand if you are afraid. You see, you may be the first, because the last I'll be first. You see the Bible said a certain man had two sons. One of them said, say I go and he goeth N another one said, I go north. But later he changed his mind, said, say I go. So those of you who are afraid, and those of you who are ready to give yourself, we cannot even. Tell. As at this camp, who will really go and who really not go? But I want to encourage you to work for God. That's what I'm here to do. I'm here to tell you that it's the best job. There is no better work to do than to work for God. Every other thing is inferior. I declare it inferior. As far as we are concerned, it's inferior. And as far as eternity is concerned, it's vanity. The wind will seem that is blowing towards the north before you realize in a circular fashion, it will turn around and begin to blow back to the South and you see that you are at the same place. But the wind that blew you N turn around in the sector and blew you back to the South to square 1. That is why when I meet people who I haven't seen for many years or sometimes who have been working for the world and all that, and I meet and I compare notes with them, I rather they have eaten. I have eaten for the last 10 years. They have drunk water, I've drunk water. They have drunk cooked. I've drunk cooked. We have had chicken, I've had chicken and we are all here. They have had somebody to say. I've also had somebody. They have driven a car, I've also driven a car. We are all here. We slept. They slept. I woke up. They also woke up and slept for 10 years. Yeah. So you ask yourself, what is the use of all those things? So my brothers and my sisters, don't let anything, neither mother nor father nor anybody keep you back from your calling. Become like Abraham and all those people. But you see, when you follow the call of God, you need to be patient. With time, a lot of things that are not working work. With time, a lot of things that are hard become easier. With time, a lot of confusion becomes clearer. Time, time alone, you know, even very, very painful things. Time alone makes it go away. Yeah. When one day when our sister Juanita died, you know, I made them make a picture of her. I wanted to have a big picture of her in my office to always remember her. So when they made it and they brought it and they put it that I became afraid of the picture because the picture was big. Everybody in the office was afraid of it. And I mean, we all united that the picture must be removed from there. We couldn't stand it. I'm telling you, it was, it was, it was like a. Horror. To us, do you remember? Yeah, it was even Lulu who made that photograph. Made a big frame like that, but we were scared. We were like cows. Who won been taken and slaughtered, and the rest of us were standing there. Nine of us were there and one has been started. Right before our eyes. We couldn't believe it. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. It was a shock. And you see, time has a way of healing. That's why if you want to be important, make sure you don't die, because when you die, you'll be surprised. With time, your importance will vanish. You see, that's one of the reasons why the Bible says, but there is no remembrance of anything. Yes, there is no remembrance of formal things and good things to come. There will be no remembrance. It's one of the reasons why everything we are doing is useless. There will be no remembrance. Yeah, you get it. The people who built this universe, you don't even know who they are, what plans they took when they said this nation needs a university. We must build a place, an icon of education. And not nobody here, None of us. I don't. And you don't. You don't know who did it, whether he was a wise man or a fool, whether he had one wife or two wives. We don't even care. I mean, they should just be where their grapes, wherever they are. Investors here we are using it. Allow us. There's no remembrance of formal things. Mercy that with time you'll be surprised. Even painful things can be healed. Yes. So you need. Patience. So that every promise happened. Yes. And that that promise that the Lord gave me it was at the beginning of my ministry when my wife and I will calculate and count our money and go to juniors and to buy corn beef the. Two of us. In my car, Renault four that my father gave me when I was in fifth year, that was my car. My pay was 25,025 thousand cities here those days. With time, I told you this morning, I lost 300 CDs, 3 to 400. I'm not sure even. But I never even knew that I had lost it. Yes, I didn't even know that I'd lost it. I just found it. I just saw another. What is this? Then when I open it, it was 300 or 400 CDs. And how many corn beef can that buy? How much is 1 can buy? A number? Yeah. My wife and I, we were beloved. We could not afford to go to a Chinese restaurant or to buy Chinese rice. So we bought spring rolls. And I will say to her, go and buy it and come and wait in the car to go into a restaurant, pay for it exactly 4 pieces, 2 for her and two for me. And I would usually eat 1 of hers and maybe sometimes part of the one that she had also. Do you understand? But today I can have the rice if I want it. Can I have? Chicken fried rice if I want, or pork fried rice or special fried rice if that is what. I want I just have to say the word bring and it will come. I can have. Beef. With onions. Or with green pepper or some other thing. Sweet and sour. But I can if I want to. In those days, I didn't even know that. Those things were there. Because what I could afford was the spring rolls. 2 for hair and two for several times. I used to pack at that Kung Fu Chinese restaurant. Do you know Kung Fu Chinese restaurant at KOSU? This is with patience, patients. Gradually, step by step, step by step, my situation has improved. Yes, my situation has improved, but not suddenly. There's nothing sudden. It's nothing sudden. So without that character you. Struggle a lot in ministry. You'll always be discontent. You'll always be unhappy. I see that same patience. You would need it in the secular world, because the secular world is equally a long. Job. Look at somebody like Professor Mills. Look at how long it has taken for him to become a president. Four years of vice president, 8 years of losing elections twice and four years, I mean, and winning the election with 23,000 votes almost blind and you are now the president. At the end of your life, yes. I mean, is it? There is nothing. President Kufa became a president at age of 60 something. He was unemployed, moving around for a long time. When he came here, he had a brick factory that didn't work, different types of businesses. This is the reality of life. So without it, you suddenly take off on a tangent. Yes, you have to have patience with us. You have to have patience when you are working somewhere. You have to have patience even with the system. But the system is also improving itself. You get it? Yeah, but the system can easily forget you that you are there. Every system can forget you, so you need patience. If you are marrying somebody, the pair needs patience. You see, if you marry somebody and you are experienced with sex and the person is not experienced with you, don't look at the person and say look promo. Look at what? Look at what the person is doing you're. Wasting my time, You know you don't talk like that. I'm wasting my time. What are you doing? No, you need to be patient. Amen. OK, then you need to be kind. So you love kindness and keep you in the ministry. Amen. One of the reasons why you need to be kind is because you will need somebody to be kind to you one day. Do you get it? Yeah. So kindness, Remember to be kind. Try a little kindness. Is it a song you know how to sing? Kind. Amen. If you see a brother stattened in via the road with a heavy load from seat his soul, and if you see his sister falling by the way, just stop pantsing. You're going the wrong way. You've got to try a little kindness, show a little kindness. Shine your life for everyone to see. And if you try a little kindness, then you'll love a loop of blindness, A narrow minded people, a narrow minded streams. Don't walk around the downer night. Lend a helping hand instead of doubt, and the kindness that is shown every day will help someone along their way. So you've got to try a little kindness. You've got to show a little kindness and shine a bright core where we want to see. And if you try a little kindness, then you'll all believe the blindness. A narrow minded people narrow minded. So you've got to try a little kindness, you've got to show a little kindness, shine bright for everyone. And if you try a little kindness, then you love a little kindness. A narrow minded equal a narrow minded dreams. Amen. So remember to be kind. The next one is love is not jealous. Jealousy is what crucified Jesus. Now, the way you detect jealousy is by noticing your reaction towards somebody's improvement or blessing when you have a not so excited about what you hear. When somebody is doing well, then jealousy is gripping you. So if your sister is getting married and you just say, oh, those people there, they had a lot of problems. I'm sure it will even break up soon. Do you see? Oh, oh, their wedding crown they borrowed money to do. I mean, what is your negative attitude about? Do you understand it's all jealousy if you say that TDJ's woman thou art loose? So now that the women are loose, what are they going to do next? They understand you have to analyze your heart and see whether you are a bit jealous of TDJ's success. Do you understand what I'm saying? So the way to detect jealousy is to just notice whether you are overjoyed and excited as you are, as you could be about somebody. You get it? Yeah, and then also, any time you want to eliminate somebody from the world, from the existence, from being around, you should also remember that is one of the fruits of jealousy. Jealousy leads to elimination. You always eliminate people you are jealous of from your radar at least. You don't want them to appear to pop up anywhere. So delete off. You get it. So you fight against people you are jealous of. You get it. So if you have somebody who is being nice to your wife and you're feeling jealous, why is he talking to my wife so nice? And you become jealous and you want to off delete this existence from from my life or somebody's being nice to your husband. You get it. And it's like, wow, what are you doing? This funny golden fried shrimp moving around my husband. I want to delete her from the whole world, you know, and then father, sisters, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah. You are the chief deleters in the world. If the world was ruled by women, a lot of people will be under execution orders by now. Yeah, sometimes if the woman who is behind the man who is pressing the buttons and saying eliminate like Jezebel, shall I get rid of those guys from the system? And, and and he said phlegmatic man, you know, and she just deleted them, deleted Nabov. Nabov did not exist anymore. It was gone forever. You get it? So be careful when you are sacking people, eliminating people, because when that thing turns on you, you will be surprised baby. OK, now love does not brag is not arrogance. OK, now arrogance each, each of these is. I'm just giving you one little aspect. There are several aspects, but I'm giving you one. One of the answers I gave you about jealousy is deletion. Jealousy, envy. Bible says Christ was crucified because of envy. So envy usually leads to deletion when you want to remove somebody shouldn't be there shouldn't exist somebody who's just like you, a church just just like yours. So a pastor who is just like you or a lady who is just like you, or somebody who is nice like you. You know, you want to remove the person a house help who is prettier than you or a maid of honor who is as nicer than you or you know, and so on. You want to get rid of them. It's all those divisionary powers and some of them made of honesty. They are not interested in the bride. They are interested in themselves. Looking nice and shiny instead of concerning themselves with the bride. The bride to be beautiful for that day. Make sure you get it. Made of honor. Who has, who loves you know, who loves herself so much. Are you understanding what I'm saying? Yeah. Anyway, back to the point. What was I talking about? Arrogant. Now one of the just one thing about Prime is when you look down on other. Groups. Of people you don't think them to be great enough for you. It's a sign of pride in you. You see now this is one of the very dangerous things. You see every group of people that have caused a lot of pain, others and in this world have always had this particular symptom where they felt they were better than other groups of people is the commonest evil that comes from the world. Like Hitler, he did not like Jews and he did not like communists. So, and he felt the Germans were a superior race, Aryan race. So they had museums where they would have the human body like that you see, and and they would show the body, perfect human body. And so Hitler had this vision and he would just give speeches and there were wicked people around him who would devise ways of implementing that idea. And Hitler always like people who had radical ideas, you see. So if you are the more radical you are in your approach, the more you please him. And often he would give the same job to two people or three, because he believed in the survival of the fittest. It was one of his most deepest beliefs that the strongest will always survive and. Nature causes the weaker one to be destroyed, yes. From the world. So they had experiments and they would show them on television. You see animals like you see two crabs of fighting and one killing the other, showing the principle of the survival of the fittest and the superior race. They would show all those on television and pump it into the German people that we are superior. We are. Better. And so his beginning of his conquest was with the mind to. Imagine unite the superior German people well and to create a special race that would conquer the whole world and he said that the only. Thing they needed was more land, you see. So first of all he acted, annexed the German people, the German speaking people. That's why he took Austria and then he took the Zudatan area of Czechoslovakia, you see. But after that he went further because he said they need land and you make speaking in Pakistan and everybody will be listening. 10 Then he doesn't give any plan of how to do it. And then you see there's some wicked people around and come and say we've got this plan. And people used to write him letters and he used to read them from the common people. And one day somebody wrote a letter to him and said that his son is abnormal and he wants permission. To. Kill his son because the town is mentally and there was a guy who was there who was the one checking the letters and that guy saw that letter and brought it to Hitler. And when Hitler saw it. He said it would be a good idea to remove such weaker vessels from the system and that guy through that guy started a new plan to remove anybody with such. Weaknesses, I tell you from He started from a letter that somebody wrote to him. Yeah. And he started to remove them from society, admit them to hospital and give them injections. Then they'll be dying. Oh, any kind of mental or slight. I mean, whatever. You see the mind that I'm better and I'm superior and that Jews were inferior and communists. So that mind starts worse and leads You have to think of what are the things that were in such a man by the time he died, 55 million people were dead just between the time he had power. Is he a? Corporal, He was a corporal in the army. Corporal Hitler is he such a person? And he he came into power with mandorous ideas and hatreds for groups of people and superiority thinking. You see, so now, if you are an Ashanti, you know, and you have that superiority, mind that. You are a superior type of. Ghanaian, you get it. Of course, if you are an Airware and you see that somebody despises you, you. Also really react to that thing I said. I in my where I come from, I'm not inferior. I'm an important person out where I came from. Are you not important that where you are coming from? What do you mean by that? And so you have them also reacting strongly to that thing. Yeah. Even if you look in Ghana, some of the divisions that are building up, especially you see them during the elections, especially the Airways and the Ascantes, you know it's building up, but it's hatred, it's growing. And building up. But those are the foundations for all the evils. We understand where you think that this group is better than this group and you think I'm better than this group. And below me, you see, even in the slightest fashion, it reveals. Pride in you, because what makes you better than somebody? I mean, if I take Ashantis, I mean I can tell you a lot of bad things about Ashantis and I can tell you a lot of bad things about AWIS and I can tell you a lot of bad things about guns. So what's the big deal you are proud about? Foolishness. Your pride is based on an evil spirit, and it's not based on anything substantial or real. It's true. And it's based and it builds up hatred, I'm telling you. Yeah, it's true. Ghanaians with Nigerians, many Ghanaians. One of the things that you have to realize is that you have to know why people behave the way they do because when the scepter of wickedness is over the lot of the righteous, you see that the righteous has become a bad person. If Ghana has had the kind of wicked leaders, we have also had our share, but unrighteous wicked leaders like Nigeria has had, you will see that almost everybody will put his hand forth to do certain wickedness and that's what I've made Nigeria into. The world's most reputed nation of petty and serious. Criminal activities, Oh yes, many Nigerians are trying to get Ghanaian passports because to appear with a green passport at various places, it's almost a liability worldwide. I've gone all over the world there, there, there is the only people they can put in today because of Hitler. Racism is, is, is, I mean everybody very careful of that thing cannot say this group or that group or that you can't. But today in this world, they based it in a bank that we do not open account for Nigerians. Yes, Nigerians know to that extent in today's world where you cannot discriminate, but they are able to describe because of the extent of the problem that they have had there. What I'm saying is that that thing is the foundation for many, many, many, many evils, Yes. So you got to be careful because I will say that my experience with Airways and Ashantis, I'm neither an airway nor an Ashanti, but I'll tell you that I find out that dislike is mutual. It's mutual. It's not as though like Ashantis really hated and Airways are some cool people who are being no, no, they are not being mistreated. They hate each other equally. True or not true? And it has gone so far that even in secondary school they are divided in the classroom, divided everywhere here, Shanti here. And our election was divided in exactly. And the next election will be even wider. You'll see something during the next election time. I haven't yet seen one before. Are you there? Yeah. So when we allow it. Anywhere that thing. Comes there is a future bomb if I look at Grace and say no, I only want a gun to sing for me. Only guns can sing for me. What is your tribe if you are came? No, no, no, no my tribe. We need a superior race to sing. Where are we headed for? Yeah, so be careful. The ministry will never become money to be when those things are in you. First, God has to. Touch your heart. And then I send mysteries and food and they will come. They will say, oh, those. People are really somewhere. There's one day I called, I said look. You cannot be a missionary in a country and talk that way because the people, you have to like them. If you don't like them, you will never win them. You have to love them. Yes, and to love them, you must not be above them in your mind. These people, these people, these people? Which people? It's not these people, it's the people. It's our people, Yes. Every true missionary who I've seen all over the world, he. Always wants to be. You see, a white man is in Zimbabwe, he wants to say I'm an African. Yes, you say. I'm an African. This man I went to see in France, he said we are French, even though he's from Portugal and we are French. Yeah, he wants to be from there because he still believes help identify with the people, he said to me. I've had people in my chest. For years and years he used our foreword. Years and years and years and years and years. From Ivory Coast, from Congo, From there. Been with me for years and years and years and years and years. He loves the people, and the people really love him. Yeah. Black people. Yeah. Black people, you see. So you have to get away from that. Above. You're above nothing. OK, OK. I see what I'm saying. You will not see it now. We see during elections and during marriage, after you have been married for some time and you're, you're, you are the man. You are an ewie and your wife is a Fancy or an Ashanti and your brethren come from the hometown and you are speaking in the house. And you see that your wife does not understand what is happening. The song is going over her head. Before you realize they will bring one of your own to come and stay in the house there with you. Then before you realize you have formed a community and your your wife or your husband is an alien in the house. Yeah, especially Airways are good at that. They said that the airway, they said that there will be 6 in the house one day. I said to your husband. I said. Sake every said look, I am a foreigner, I don't know what language are they speaking. All these people house help made this that the every driver I didn't said I didn't realize everybody is from there, I'm the only one. I am a foreigner in my own house. When they are speaking, I don't know what they are saying. It's actually rose up. He said bring some other nationalities here also so that we shall be mixed up. I realize a coup is being planned. Are you listening to me now? How many realize that sometimes you feel superior. Maybe you don't feel superior but you feel that that one is inferior, which means you feel superior. Ghanaians feel superior to Nigerians and Nigerians feel superior to Ghanaians. That's why when we are playing soccer with Nigeria, there is another element. There's another element in that particular match, It's true. One day I went to preach somewhere there was a Nigerian pastor who was invited to say hello before I came to speak and there was a large crowd. He. Said tonight I bring you greetings from the giant of Africa. So I was sitting there wondering what I'm going to say. So because he has brought greetings from the giants of Africa. So when I got up, I got up and I said tonight I bring you greetings from the. Star of Africa. That was the end of the controversy. You are a giant. We are a star, one draw. Now. Pride can never let you be a good missionary. You have to be calm down with the people. Yeah, you can never be a good missionary. Through without that, you see, you may have faith God will use because you have to come down. If I send you to a village in Ghana, which can easily happen, I could. Send you to Gong Cockrum where they speak away and treat. Are you going to say these people, these people, Hey, look, those are the people. And you are not better than them. You got to do well there, brother. When I went to the north, I saw some of our missionaries parked up here. Different towns. Oh, yeah. Products at the Bible school. We're happily over there. You have to love the people. The northerners got to love them. You can't despise them. Otherwise you cannot do well. So that I'm above you. Get it? They're not above anything. They're above nothing. 11, American pastor. He was a missionary in the Philippines and after that time, he started to react to the local Philippine pastors. They don't want to go to the houses of the people. Then he looked down. On the people in the Philippines. Where do you come from? Where do you come from that is now above you to visit them in their houses. You don't want to descend and go down to the South and to the, the, the, the, the inner city of Manila in the Philippines to see and seek after the souls. It's like they're above you see a real missionary comes down. To the real. Level. As long as you are aloof, you don't engage the people, all your faith. And your hope will be dashed to turn into nothing. Yeah. Do you got it? Yeah. And you need to be a humble wife. You need to flow with the people because these people are coming. All these people, All these people. Which people? Why do you call them these people? Our people? And you got these people, Hey, these people, Hey, do you know these people? Pride. You are above and separated from the people God has sent you to. How can you? Ever reach them? How can you engage them? And some of you husbands, we are too soft. You allow your wife. To lead you. And and spoil your your ministry. May I not allow my wife to spoil my ministry? Yeah, now, I told her long ago. I said I will not follow you, I will follow God. Yes. Can you follow a woman? You don't follow a woman. What? What are you talking about? Well, we are here to follow God. We are following a wife. But anyway, some of you, it is when I watched hyenas that I realized that some of you are you are spiritual hyenas. You are led by women. It's true. Spiritual hyenas, wild dogs, They are led by female dogs. Female is the master. In some marriages, the woman is the leader. Clearly it's true. And the husband should just humble and then flow. Just be a figurehead mess. You come for public functions. You attend first. Gentleman Mercy. OK, How many are fighting pride? How many realize that some of that thing is in you? Is it true one day, Let me tell you something secret that happened to me. One day I felt God touched my heart and I I felt a lot for Ghanaians. You see, in my position, I can be a Ghanaian or I can be another Ghanaian. It's true because I'm half not Ghanaian and half Ghanaian, and throughout secondary school I've been rejected as a Ghanaian even when I walk. There's obrony bluff on you. I bluff on you. Bluff on you? What does blafonio mean? White man Obrony red. Yellow man Disappointed European. So. Where do I? Belong. I don't think I've felt accepted in like accepted that I'm a Ghanaian. No, that has not been ministered to by people, to me, by my mates. And so even pastors, yes, even pastors. That's why I'm very appreciative of some of the people who relate with me, just as a normal person like Archbishop Duncan will just. Relate with me as in I'm the foreigner or Reverend Steve Menson, He just relates. So as a normal person, but I'm a normal person too. They just relate, flow, just talk as friends and we talk normally and just flow. It's not easy to find somebody who just. Just look us talking. What else? Talking. What else? When I was in school they were shot. But talking. What else? Talking. What else? Come here. Hey. Now be running knee down there. Where's your mother from your father? Hi. Do you know Gary? You know this? You know that. Come, go here. Come here now. Can't do this. Can't do that. Yeah, if you don't take care, you even develop hatred like my that my friend, I'm telling you, his mother is a German and Israel he. Hated even the school as he finished medical. He vanished from Ghana forever. I will. I don't think I will ever see him again. Yeah, so God had to also touch my heart to love Ghana. It's true. In fact, until. It happens. You do not succeed in the country that you have been sent to. I'm telling you, and I'm telling you every country, because people are so different, you tend to dislike them. All the missions when they go, these Kenyans, these Zambians, these Nigerians, this. When I went to Zambia, there was an Indian man, he gave me a proverb, I forgot. He gave me a proverb about something that how a Zambian can steal. Prince, do you remember? He takes some proverb that if you do something, a Zambian means something. Do you remember? Were you there in Zambia? Yeah, Hey, So what I'm saying to you, my friends, is that you need to be humble. You are no better than anybody on this earth. I'm telling you, that is the spirit that has. Not only has it started wars, but it. Takes away from your calling. Yes, that's why my office and the staff in the office, I always want them and I don't like. People who dislike people I don't like it, don't dislike important people, and important people are just people, yeah. You know, the other day I was at a crusade all the way in the north and some people came from Kumasi and they wanted. To see me, you know, and they have been told I'm busy, I've gone to sleep or what I said, no, no, no, no, no. Somebody has come from Kumar, say, all the way to Salaga, and you don't have to tell them that. I'm I'm asleep. They should go. No, they are very. Important people Somebody else have somebody traveled for 8 hours just to even look at your face for one minute for you to greet the person and shake hands. No, they are important. And as long as you see yourself as above what, you will be surprised. It will turn on you. Yeah. And surprisingly, in many of us, lies that spirit of Abu Ghans. I'm telling you, it's Abu Ghans. Yes. And it's not arrogance in somebody. Oh, YOU. Yeah. Everybody who thinks somebody, if you take an airway, who thinks that Ashantis are whatever, look equally. Even in the marriages, in the church, the Airways are more. They don't want any such person more. It's not that they are not one they don't want. Are you there? Hold somebody's hands. Shake the person. Tell the person, are you? Are you greater than me? Are you better than me? What did they say? Are you sure? Are you very sure? Are you very, very, very, very very sure? Be sure, because I tell you, without that hat, no one is invisible, no one comes to you. But they come to the sense in the heart that you like them. You can feel it. Yeah. Until God touched my heart, my ministry was not international. A time came I never thought that people were not Ghanaians, could be Christians. Until Ghanaians, only Christians are Ghana. Now recently I've noticed God is touching my heart towards Francophone. I, I you see I used to see them. I can see I still. Still see them some way. Ivorians and Congolese, you know, I see. I can see, sense it, that something is breaking away. Yeah, you see. And usually it's because you are going to go there or you are beginning to go there. Yeah. That they are just like you are even maybe better than you, not that even probably probably better. Yes, they understand. So don't. Don't let the devil. Cheat you? You must work for God, but you cannot work for Him with pride. Pride will not let you be sent to Pandu. Pride will not let you be sent to Anfuenga. Pride will not let you be sent to Amanqua Chrome Pride. Pride means you are too. Nice. That's why I don't just send people from the Bible school to set in places. Now I met somebody in London, I said I bet he was wearing a winter coat in the snow when he was talking to me. I said when you come, I will send you to the village. Yes, and when he came I sent him straight to the village and he has been dead. I met him in the UK in the winter boats, you know, winter goats, 0°C when the winter was shaking like a leaf. I said when you come to Ghana, if you are a man, come leave your SCC and whatever and I will send you to the village. That's what I mean. I don't joke as to all the things I'm saying, they're all true. If you, if you are bold, come, I will send you. You see some of you, I will send it to the desert. Your color will change. When you come, you see that a dark brown person has become black and a fat colored person has changed. The color has changed from the temperature of the sun that is at that place. And those of you who are dark, you will become like the midnight. We shall call you Pastor Midnight. Are you better than a villager? You've got long hair. Come. If I cut off all your hair and I put a pan on top of firewood on top, you'll see that she's just a villager. She is a villager who happens to be in town, just like any of the villagers. You just wear a cloth. No, that's it. Have you done your eyebrows, too? In the village? They don't have eyebrows. And what else have you done? This spamming cream on your face? What have you put on your face? All the creams and other things. Yeah, and they don't have all those. But if we. Cut it off, put the firewood on. But when the people are testing, by the way, I cannot carry anything again on my head. But now, because I'm healed, I can carry. You see how she can carry? You'll be going like that. Are you better than that village? You think you are too nice for that village, that you are better than the village. That's why you see it's white people who come like Ranabuki's in Nigeria. Yeah, is in the innermost. Part of Nigeria winning souls Africans is like even our own hometowns and villages, we don't want to go. Yeah. And if you made the mistake of marrying somebody and the president has joined you, many missionaries, they are OK till their wives come. When their wife come then you see the issues. Start. Why is this person? They were happy before you came home. They were flowing before they as soon as their wife came. No, the whole mission is changing, I tell you. Whole mission starts to change. Twist. It's fantastic. Please. You are. Are you better than a village? Are you better than the North? Than the. Volta than the West. Which part are you better than and why can't you not go there? Why can't you not go there? What is better about you? Where are you from? You, you lady, Where are you from? What food do you eat in your house? Do you eat cornflakes? I'm asking you, I said, do you eat cornflakes and bring yourself? When was the last time you ate cornflakes in this world? Do you eat? Cornflakes in your house? Then why do you make yourself sophisticated as though you eat cornflakes? Rice Krispies two Zafia and other things are these are the things that you have been eating. You say you want Rice Krispies in Donkokrum. There is no Rice Krispies in Donkokrum. There is no conflicts in Donkokrum. I I don't like this poshness feeling. That is around some of us. It's like you are, and it's like when we go to your house where you are emanating from, we'll be very disappointed. When we see your house, we'll be very, very disappointed. And we'll see your house, your room and the kitchen, the kind of place that is in your house and your toilet. Some of you are still using a wooden toilet in your house. It's not a toilet. It is. What if there is a toilet in your house? I don't like this posh, this type of posh looking feeling. Do you understand there is a posh? Feeling about some of you people here. What's happening to my mic? Is it OK? Change it. Somebody should arrest these guys. I think they are not working. Listen, some of you are too posh looking. I don't want it. But God cannot use these super posh people who are above things. But love is not arrogant. It's not. It's not puffed up, it's not passed up. Passed up is big. Too big to send, too big to work. Comparing yourself with great things. What are you? What is the problem? What do you have? You should see Church of Pentacles when they are doing their transfers from Italy to what do you call in Kwanzaa from Rome. You'll be transferred to the north. What is that? Not that one. No, no, no, no. Not Salaga. There was a town. I forget the town now. Bin Milan up somewhere? You see them from here to here, from Rome to here. Hey, who is that? Are you serious? Be careful though. No, we are not joking. No, those of you who think there is a joke here, there's no joke at all as you see my face. I'm not. I'm serious. You are. You are better than who and where? Which place are you better than when you go to the toilet to poop and you get up? Have you seen what you leave behind? Have you seen what you leave behind? Stop. Stop pretending to be sister posh or brother posh brother above certain things. If you were, if there were only 5 of you, I would take you by your hand to that toilet just here so that you see the kind of toilet you have been using for the last three years. There is no place like this in Europe. It's not even at all me. I was in this school for seven years. I never bathed with water before in that I prefer to come out in the in the. Night under a tree to back down to be at such a place. I believe I would be better off under a tree than to be in such a room. What? I don't want this pretentious attitude because you're some best as if you you were born in New York or you are coming from you've. You've never travelled before, you have never travelled even before, you've never travelled anywhere before. And it's like you cannot do certain cities above you. Some places are beyond you. What are you? All those attitudes make that's why Ghana cannot develop. Nobody will be a teacher somewhere, nobody will stay anywhere. Of course, it comes from the top as well. When you are transferred somewhere, it's seen as a punishment because everybody is seen as above those places. Yes. Nobody wants to be the only below 14 and above 60. OK. No one should esteem himself big. Thank God for your. Hope. And your faith. But now we need the love that is not arrogant. Yeah. OK. So because in the future, some of you will be here today, tomorrow he'll be here. Have a look at some of our missionaries, the earlier ones from Tech Larry. And Larry was in Tech Landy was in Cape Coast, they were in South Africa. One was in Cape Town, the most, one of the most beautiful cities in Africa, Cape Town. And then he had been in Central African Republic before. And then he was in Ethiopia. And then he was in, I think in the Kodesh or. And then he was in Olegono. And then he's in Nan, in Gua. Yes, he's in Gua and he's doing well there. You get it. You send me other. I want to work in healing. Jesus, my friend, Look, there's nothing like that. We cannot guarantee your. Future or anything about you. Abraham followed God followed. You don't know where he's going. Nothing is too must be too small for you. You know that is too small for you. If we call and say come and cook, I say what I'll come and do this as like I'm too. You're too what you're nothing. You have problem even that are coming. It's a problem to have somebody like you. We are trying to accommodate somebody like you. You should see yourself as a liability, as a problem who is working and working problem, who is being accommodated and and and being handled. I am such a Sam Camiso. Send me to Tanzania, send me to Kenya or send me to South Africa. Then I'll know that. Yes, send you. What are you going to do there? Somebody like you? And you know something, the people that we've trained in our Bible school for four years, they are all in the mission that allows people. Yes, it has proved and shown that many of you who are in there are those churches, even elders and so. You don't know much. It's true. They know more of the word. They are more happen that school is a very difficult school. It is intended to eliminate by Survivor of the Fittest. If you are not fit, you cannot survive four years in that. So when you. Send them to the towns and I went to Inquanta. I sent them just this year. He has got 2 branches and I passed there on a Sunday. I saw that more than 100 people, they were all sitting there. Inquanta, not that somebody told me what I saw on Sunday mornings I was passing by. I stopped and I went into the classroom to speak to the people. Those guys, they have memorization rotation. They are security guards and they memorize scriptures as security. Guards. When you see those guys who are security guards, they are all Bible students with memorization. It's a memorization project. They are memorizing verses. They will be examined on memorized verses. You are sitting here you cannot quote, and you are above what you are above nothing. Nothing. Those guys who didn't qualify for university and went to the Bible school are better than you as far as ministry is concerned. Yeah, we should send you to international whatever and then they should do whatever. Don't bring yourself at all. You see people come and work with us. You see they don't know anything. Their computer. How to switch it? On. How to do this? You went to a useless school. That was not able to impact one lecture. You see 1500 of you are in the lecture 1500. How can it be a good lecture 1005? Is it a miracle service or is it a lecture? Is it a miracle service or it's a lecture? 1500 people yourself know that you didn't learn much. How many realized that you didn't learn much? In the Sudan? I went. So why do you come with a superior mentality better than which particular group? Of people, are you? No. I don't accept it. I do not accept your superiority. I do not accept it. I cannot. Honestly, to be very frank with you, I cannot. So from today, humble yourself by the side of the lawn, come down from your high horses and rather come and say, will you please accommodate me? I say accommodate, I say not accommodation accommodate. That is put up with you the blankness of your tape by a blank tape that's yet to be written on. He will let you up. He will let you up if you just humble yourself by the side of the Lord. He will let you up. The way I up is the way down. He will let you out. The way forward is the way back. Listen, one of the most important prerequisites for any kind of ministry is to. Not see yourself as gradual or better than any group, especially people that you have been sent to preach to. You see, when the Colegonal people drove us out, or I should say when we left Colegonal, one of the things that I said, which I knew was never a lie, was that we never looked down on Colegonal. Never. As far as I'm concerned, Colegonal was the greatest place that God had given to us. Never look down on it. After today, I don't look down on it. They have a vision to drive us out of polygonal We need a better area, a better place, a better place, a better that. You can't look down on people and ever do well, and I can tell you from my heart, God knows. In fact, we had a vision to expand the church from where we were in the cathedral town to Saint Mary's. All that land. We had planned that the church would extend all the way to the same. I thought Colegono was as good as any area. We used to say there are streets here. There are no streets in Kaneshi. There are no streets in Bubashi, but there are streets in Colegono. It's a developed area. We never thought guns were this, this were that. Oh, you can't think that way. You cannot think that way. You cannot. It must not even be subconscious to do well. Oh, no. You must like them. You must see them as good. You must see them as great. You must see them as normal. You must see them as just like you. Yeah, the way up and the way up. The way up is not is not to think of yourself as better or special. I'm telling you. And that thing is in us. How many realize that there is that better feeling in many of us? I am better. I am from school. I am from university. You are from Sangpas. Nothing. There's nothing you are from. The starting you are from even the school you are from it's even by grades that we even call it a university today. It's a full even educational system that SJSS that all of you saw a pop before you go and write. You have seen it SSS a pop song is just going writing things that are not whatever you need, just just writing them past 10110 one ten one everybody What? Type of school is that. Everybody has 10110 one 10/1. Some of you didn't even write your exam and you came and then stop that. I mean, nonsense. There we are. We are sick and tired of that feeling that you are exuding. It's coming out of you. You come from school and you are elder this and elder that. Come on. Will you clear up that time today? Well, where? Where? Where you are headed? We don't recognize elders. We don't have any elders. Yeah. Just normalize yourself and just flow as a little child so that you can be used by God for something great in this world. Do you understand what I'm saying? The way up. The way up is the way down he will live to. US. The way forward is the way back. I know he will if you are the way. Check it the. Way we will. 110 new messages. 110. The way forward is the way back. If you just. Humble yourself and press it down until he is humble. Humble that person Humble that person. Humble. Yourself get you up. He will let you up. If you just humble yourself by the side of the Lord, He will let you up. All you got to do is humble yourself by the side of the Lord. He will let you know. All right, now, are you there? Love does not act unbecomingly protocol. It does not seek its own. When you are full of love, you'll not seek your own, isn't it? And it does not seek its own. OK is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffer. Stand on your feet. Tomorrow we continue. And tomorrow, by the grace of God, we are going to get into from love. We are going into first love, my first love. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Yeah. So let your hands, Father. It is a blessing and we are thanking you for this great opportunity we have to love you, to have faith, to have hope, and to have love. Give us that great joy to save you. With all our hearts.
