08. 24 Reasons Why You Must Finish What You Started 3

Welcome to track #8 so finish what you started. Give me my Bible, Let me read my Bible. Take your breast and give me my Bible. I need to have my quiet time. Why are you looking for such? That's why Jesus said come all those who are testy and drink from the waters. When you drink from these waters, you will never test again. Can I have an e-mail from somebody? Are you listening to me? Yeah, Jesus. And my meat, my kebabs, my satisfaction, my how do you call Balahi Mama Mohel Ali Mama. Mohel Ali Mama. Whatever. Mohel Ali Bana. Boho berinama. Boho Berinama my papen. What Papen? Freeze. What's freeze? Freeze. Flesh. Our flesh. Flesh. In German we say flesh fleece. Papen fleece. It cannot satisfy. Look, when I was in Ghana some years ago, we drank Coca-Cola at Christmas. When Christmas is coming, you will know that you will see Coca-Cola until Christmas. You will not see Coca-Cola and chicken. Also, Coca-Cola cannot satisfy. Now we have Coca-Cola everywhere and when you look at it. In savings that it does not satisfy. Now they have to advertise so that you buy it because it's not working. And Jesus said my meat, my happiness, my joy, my satisfaction, my fullness. It comes from doing the will of my Father and finishing the work that he has asked me to do. I tell you, the strength that we need to finish is as if you were just born again. Just born again, just about to fight, just about to just. God has just saved. You that that's the kind of strength that is needed to finish yeah, because. Finishing is is is is is elusive, is deceptive a lot of. Deception against you when you started in terms went to a point. But finishing it, there's so much so now I. Don't need this. I don't need this. I'm OK. So you don't finish. So it is a greater difficult job to finish than to start. I am surprised that we don't have 100 churches in Pretoria. How do you call Kalte? Yeah, by now I'm not talking about full timers. I'm talking about lay people. But you see, there's a cost, and that's why I'm preaching. If you think I'm here to crack jokes, you better go and find Mr. Bean. He can make you laugh better than I can. And don't compare me with Mr. Bean again. Some of you see me as a comedian. Are you there? Yeah. Zimbabwe. Look, you better rise up and be wild. This is the best time for the gospel. Poverty, difficulty, pain. That's when people believe in God. Recently, I was analyzing some church members left my church and left one of my friends church, and I was analyzing the people that left the church. There was one guy, I remember him. He didn't have anything. He was a student. He couldn't even go to the university, but he managed to do some other courses until he qualified in some things. He left the church 1. He just went off. And then my other friend, he also had this member and now this guy, prosperous. He has nice things, working, business, whatever, always moving around, it's great. But now he's left somebody who used to doing well. But I see that's how people are when they do well, they don't respect God. Again, it's natural. That's why the Bible says it is easier for a camel to pass through an aisle of a needle down for a rich man to be saved. But that is why you must be saved before you become rich. So that by the time you are rich, you are already a camel. You become a camel. You have already passed through the eye of a needle. So you are on. You are a camel on this side of the needle. Yeah, I see you becoming rich in Jesus name. A camel post needle camelization. Hallelujah. Are you there? OK #8. There's no shame if you are tired. There's no telling anybody. There's no shame at all if you are tired you may scream. There's no shame at all. What what time is their lunch, supper break time? Everybody stand up. Stand up. Because you see, this is just the introduction. This 24 things is just to to enter the real camp. You get it. OK, stretch and give your neighbor a bump like this on the side. All right, all right, all right, all right. We're going to break for a break soon. But until then, there's no shame at all. If you're tired, tell your number. There's no shame at all if you're tired. You may scream. OK, All right, sit down Now the next reason why we must finish the work of God. Please. I see a lot of people forming a market at the back. Don't form any specialized market at the back. Please be part of what we are doing here. Amen. We must finish the work of God because it is finished works that will prove that we were sent by God. It is the finished works that will prove that we were sent by the Lord. Amen. OK, OK. John, chapter 5, verse 36. But I have. Greater witness than that of John For the works which the Father have given me to finish the same works that I do. Bear witness of me that the Father hath sent me. Amen. John 5, verse 36. I have a greater witness than that of John. He said, I have a greater witness than that of John. Why? For the works of the Father, which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do bear witness of me that the Father hath sent me. So the work that has been given to him to finish, and what testify all right that God has sent him. Now if I built a church and completed with stones, rocks, whatever, does it say anything about the builder? But when you see a beautiful cathedral working, nice. It. Says something about the person who finished it and who built it. So your unfinished work do not really prove that God sent you. They don't show who you are when it's unfinished. But when it is finished, it will send a message. It's a witness. The work that God has sent you to finish. It is those work that will testify of who you are, you see, and that proves that you were really. Sent by God, it's finished works. Amen if. Our church in South Africa, we have stopped. I had a chair. Somebody has taken it. There's no shame at all. They scream, Yeah. Are you there? What was I saying? Supposing we are we, we, we, we we. We had, we started our church in Southern. Suppose we didn't even buy the building that we have. You see how the church should be different, you see. So when you do something and you don't do it fully, you get it. It doesn't say something about it, doesn't prove that God actually sent us to South Africa. That's why I'm very keen to get a building in all the different countries to finish the buildings and so on, because when it's finished and it's completed. Personally in Swaziland, when its finished and completed, anybody who drives myself, who is this officer? Some Ghanaian guy came here some years ago and he started make building churches and so on. This is his headquarters and so that's what they say. But now when they pass by so some construction site, that's all that they will say. So the work that you finish, it is the very work that testify of the fact that you were sent by God. So if you want it to be proved, and really God did send you, you must not just. Start something, but you must bring it to its very end if that is what proves that you were actually saying. In fact, the unfinished work does not prove anything. Amen. If you cook. Half cooked. And you bring it and you say I went to a chef school, a school of chefs. What do you call such schools? Catering school. And you bring me your half cooked rice. What does it prove? One day I saw some sisters, they said that they are every time you ask them, are you doing well? I also we are doing well. Are you doing well? I hope we are doing well. Is your husband happy with you? He's. Have you ever seen a sister who answers that question that oh, I'm not doing well? No, always they are doing well. Is it true or its not true? True LA. So one day I was somewhere I said make some rice. So they made rice. When I tasted the rice, I was not sure whether it was rice, water or Stony rice. I don't know why, either too cooked or not cooked. I think it was soggy, soggy. So I have to say go ahead and do it again because cooking of rice has become a problem. We are doing well, so your unfinished foods cannot help us. Do you think we'll be impressed? It's your finished work that is impressive. Malawi, if you finish something it will be impressive. But as at now you think it is impressive if you die now, do you think you do anything? So Emmanuel went to Malawi and we maybe said God didn't send him. We may said God didn't send him. He force too much about a force too much to go there. By force and God they didn't send him but if he finishes something and even his dad who said God sent him, people will look and say God sent him here. Yeah, that's why all of us must pray to God. I will lay hands on the finished work and finish whatever we are called to do. Think about what God started in your life. You were so bad. Now at least you have reached the level of what stopping doing bad things. But is that the end? You got to move on. What do you think? There are greater things. When you get to the point where you have many good things and you have to choose which one to do, then you've advanced, but not that you have bad things that you are choosing not to do it. You see, you have to get beyond that. The point where now should I pray? Should I read my Bible, Should I witness? Should I start a church? Should I evangelize? Should I? But not that? Should I fornicate? Let me kiss rather than fornicating today. OK, I'll watch pornography, but I'll not. I'll smoke cigarette, but no more cigars. So you see that you are not fully cured. Amen. So thought I started something and I want you to become a beautiful finished project so that we will be so happy when we see you. Amen. What do you think? It's a good idea. There's somebody here. You've pooped on yourself as we were sitting here. Oh, now you keep pooping on yourself when we come to church. Who is that? Who is making the place smell? Should I show you the person? No. Isn't it? What about the person? Can I help it? The person is not able to control. The person was growing, you see. Then when he read that place, he stopped developing. He stopped developing. You know, there are people like that. They can't control it. Have you seen someone with a grown up child, 11 years old, 15 years old sitting in the house? He has absolutely no control pupus anywhere. That's. You take the child to church. It's not funny. Take the child to church. The check the child will take the poop and put it all over the church toilet. Oh, you feel sorry for the mother because the child was growing and stopped growing. He was growing and stopped in the middle. The middle mothers can understand that. Would you like that? No, that's how God is looking at us. We were growing. At six weeks, when somebody smiles at you, you smile back. That's when you have a baby. Six weeks, you smile. That baby will smile back. The baby will smile back. And you realize for the first time the baby has recognized me. When they are born, they are almost blind. But at exactly 6 weeks, you smile. The baby will smile back. Then the child begins to turn. The head begins to grow. All those things were happening then when it reached the place where it should grow and then develop the ability to not wee, wee and not poo poo after eating. Because it's a reflex. When something goes in, something comes out, it's a reflex. Like that's called gastrocolic reflex, Gastrocolic gastro stomach, colon reflex. It just happens. That's why when you eat, that's why every restaurant has a toilet. Because of that reflex, you cannot, you're not allowed to build a restaurant without a toilet. Have you ever seen any time you are in danger and you see that you are walking in data, go to a restaurant that it is by law, yeah. Hey, how? Pathetic and ugly it is when you don't grow man Lacan. Can you imagine? He has pampers. He cannot control himself. Will it be nice? Will it become a pastor that he is? Look at him. He could easily be a patient. He's just weary on himself, right? Now. Will it be nice? No, no. But thank God that he, he continued. He developed all. Have you developed all those? I've developed, develops. Are you able to control yourself? Everything I can control. Even after eating. Are you able to control? You can control. You can control when and when not to, when and when not to and where and where and where and where. There's no shame. Yeah. So you see how terrible it is. We are like a 15 year old. We win on himself, pooping on himself in South Africa when we do not become the 100 churches, 200 churches, whatever that we are. So even though we are praising ourselves because of our height, the height has developed but this place has not developed. One day I met a mother, she was crying. Her child had gone to the toilet to take toilet everywhere, everywhere. So the small thing to have a child, and it's not a small thing for God to have you and I as his children who are not developing, developing and growing up. And some of you sitting in the church for years do not develop everything, just your fighting scene. There's another level of life apart from fighting scene, watching films and other that going for dances. You are, you are some way to God and he's waiting for you to get up and say, let's move on. These are basic, basic Amen. And Mandla would never have become a pastor if he had not developed controls. Are some of those things some of you have to develop control for sex. Yeah. No, no, no, no. You have seen too many women. It's not a good thing as a as a man, by the time you get married, you see that all powers are gone. That would say, why should thou dissipate thy vigor and thy strength upon a strange woman? That's all. A lot of this, when they marry, they can't have sex again. You see them lying there, elderly, elderly men without strength. They have dissipation. Why would this doubt give thy strength? Shama lava saka lava shoda lava thy strength. You have gap on so many women. Hey, you have retired and this is what we call premature retirement, premature aging. And some of you ladies you have, you have jumped on too many men and this must be the last man you are jumping on. Tell your neighbor. Who? I tell your neighbor I don't know his name, but that's the last. That's the last. That is the last. Mercy, how many are glad that Mandla has developed himself? Glad for him for developing those aspects? It's good. It's a blessing. OK, sit down. Sit down #9 We must finish the works that we have been asked to do, so that we bring glory to God. John 17 verse 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God in Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent. I have glorified thee on earth. I have finished the work which Thou gave us me to do. Oh now, Father, glorify Thou me with thine own self, and with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was Amen. What does it say I have glorified Thee on earth? I have finished the work which Thou gave us me to do. God is glorified when we finish. Amen. There's no beauty and there's no glory unless it's finished. That's Richard. What do you think? Whatever God used you to do in England must be finished, Must be finished. Otherwise the beauty is not there. Amen. And the beauty that's going to come out of some of you. Wow. If God finishes. I like what I see. Sing that part for me. Used to spend my whole life trying to figure me out, blaming everybody but me. I used to love to listen to people talking about instead remedy. I just kept from trying. But it doesn't mean the change Seems like all the answers to what I wanted to be never applied to me when I came to Jesus. Tired of that kind of life, I asked him just what to do. He said we're starting over. No more looking inside. The answer is not in you. This is the beginning of what I want to be. It's changing me completely every day. I can see it's Jesus working in me. Finish what you started in me. I like what I see. Finish what you started in me, Lord, 'cause I love, I love what you do with me. I do. I love it. Oh yes, I do. So finish what you started in me, I like what I see. Finish what you started in me. Love I love. I love what to do with me. I used to spend my whole life trying to figure me out, blaming everybody for me. Used to love to listen to people talking about instead remedy. I just kept on trying but it doesn't mean I've changed. It seems like all the answers to what I wanted to be never applied to me. When I came to Jesus. Tired of back and alive, I asked him just what to do. Except we're starting over. No more. Look at the tide. The answer is not in me. This is the beginning I want to be. He's changing me completely every day. I can see it's Jesus. It's what in me. Finish what you started in you. I like what I see. Finish what you started in me. Long because I love. I love to do it in me. Oh yes, Oh yes, Oh yes, Oh yes, yes. I love it. I love what you do with me. Finish what you started in me. I like what I see. Finish what you started in little. Because I love. I love what you do with me. You know God will be glorified when what he started and you gets finished. Because if you look at my life, what I am doing in the ministry today, its not what I was doing in the ministry 20 years ago or 15 years ago. The beauty of your calling and the beauty of who you are supposed to be comes at the finished product. In fact, if you look at the building. Its at the very. End of the building that the beauty comes out because they finished the roof. Is that the last they were last painted? Now that's when the beauty comes. So the beauty of your calling, the beauty of my calling is at the end of the calling, is at the finished end of the call. It's not Apache. It's not at this stage. Of your calling that's. Not where you see the beauty of your call, they said. You see iron rods. That's why you see some hardness. That's why you even see some ugliness. The beauty of your calling is it. That's why I said that. This is I have glorified thee. I have finished thy works, I've glorified thee, I, I make bring glory to you. The glory comes at the finished product, not at the beginning and that's why we need to follow through to the end. We need to push that thing to the end. The beauty of this South Africa look and they can come when Lighthouse will be compared to Jonji Lakes Church in South. Africa. You know, Jonji Lake. Jonji Lake. Who started? Is it a Dutch Reformed Church or AFM Apostolic? Yeah. A time would come. A time could come. Now we cannot be compared. What do you say? Less than 38 churches? He had our 6000 churches or several thousand churches in a few years that he came to minister here. Yeah, I mean, that's the time that you, you can't come. You can say what a beautiful ministry, able to establish so many churches, which today are still in existence. You get it. And what I'm saying is that a day could come if we finish the work, you will be surprised that a certain beauty could come, that history books will be written about our church. Yeah, but as as it is now, no history book is going to be written about our church. Not at this stage, but we need to finish it. And you'll be surprised. Historians will be studying so that they did this, that these were the steps that they used. These were the principles that they had. This is this that people be discussing writing. Wow. So when I think about you huh, preaching, you stop preaching. I remember when I had him preach for one hour before I went with my notes and my new suit and my notes, my first Sunday sermon. Today I actually find it boring to preach on Sunday. Because I'm preaching for three days to you, I'm the speaker for three whole days. I'll talk to you until I go. And I'll never. I'll not even finish what I came to talk about. I know I've never really finished any camp that I started. Forgive me, Lord. You remember when we're having our tell them camp, the points are so many. In the end we just summarize and close. It never gets finished. You get it. So there's a certain beauty that can come about you. You'll be surprised. You said, Is it me? It's a lot to say, the lot to say. My mercy is over. All my works. My mercy is over you too. You can be. You can. I say you can. Literally, I can say I can. I will. I must. I have. I will do in Jesus name, Amen. Amen because his mess is over all his works. You may be sitting. Here today with an abortion as fresh as yesterday. But remember that his mercies are over all his works. That's how come you are even here. We, none of us, are qualified. We who are preaching. We know that we are bad. We know we are those of you who preach. How many of you know that you are bad? Just a few plays to the how many? Of you know that you are bad, lift up your hand and own up. All that we want is the truth. Yeah, there is. There is what? There is no shame at all. There's no shame at all. You may scream. It was after he finished screaming that he told him that you are strong, very strong, the strongest so far. Are you listening? I said. The Spirit of. Beauty over your ministry and over your calling, but it will come at the end of your calling and at the end of your ministry. The end will bring a beauty that is not seen today. So don't, don't be concerned if a lot of people are not pointing to you and saying look at Dennis. Look at what he's doing. How great is his work is? Yeah, because you are laying blocks now. Nobody's going to clap and say. Wow, what a. Beautiful. Nobody's going to say that your laying foundation is who can praise you. Who knows what it's going to look like when you finish. You know, the first time I had a crusade, when I stood on the pulpit and I stood behind because I had a vision. I'm good to do it, but I stood behind the pulpit. It was 1 like this. And I said, let's pray. I started laughing. If there's a video, you watch the video. You see that? I said it was so funny to me that now I was here. I'm coming to preach at the crusade because it was a dream. I said I'll do it. I'll make a tent and I have a crusade. Yeah. I said that that that. Part of my ministry cannot come until this time, yeah. And years ago when I first. Ever had a second my first secretary that I've had the only secretary I've had the Lord when she came and said you have to hand over the church from that to 1st is I'm trying to hand over the church so that I can give myself to years ago, but seven years ago. I've always said that well as it was something that I had in my mind in my heart. I see even when we started the Crusades, we didn't used to see what we are seeing now. Now our our we have got a taste of blood. That's why your dogs, if you let them taste raw blood, they they they now know blood because there's some taste you shouldn't let them have. Do you see? Yeah, you shouldn't let them have something that they said raw. But when they see you say I can get some raw blood from my master today or from his child Now, there's some taste that we have seen in the crusade we haven't seen before. Our last crusade, we had over 83,000 people. Yeah, not imaginary, I mean numbers or chairs or anything like that. 80. Something thousands on remote place. Yeah, we now we saw the sea of the people, you see so, but I never saw it the first time we had a good I raised 600 chairs by faith. He said we are good to have a crusade 600 we spread them out in the tent. Yeah, 600 chairs to 80,000. So now we have tasted blood. We are now thinking of. Other Higher higher. Things. Are you listening to me? I'm professor. About your, your, your future that is to come. There is a certain loveliness that will be manifested, that it will be manifested at the end. It will. It will come up. But don't look for it Now. You see Grace singing behind me? She was. She's surprised that she's singing. Yeah, she said that. I'm surprised that this my little singing I used to sing in school. Has become important because I don't even know what she learnt in school. She went to university for four years, I think. Huh. Is it four? Yeah, Four. Yes. I don't, you know, I don't care what she's studying in school. It's the little, little singing that she sang at school. That's what that's what's important now. Yeah. I love what I see. He's changing me. Is that part that says he's changing Sing that part he's chasing. He's. Changing me completely, completely, every day. I can see it's Jesus working in me.

When I leave finish them on finish what is not in it. I like what I see. Finish. I. It's changing me completely. Isn't it fantastic how many realize that you are being changed completely? Completely, from a beastly person to a nice person? From a cantankerous. I'll natured you know what it means to be cantankerous. I'll natured that your nature is ill natured with a quarrelsome tendency, never understanding. All points that are being explained. Never. Accept never say no I'll never say yes, never burnt I'll natured. God is changing you completely. It's changing you completely. Wow. If you are a choleric, you must allow God to make you a phlegmatic. When God presses the button, God then you change. You become cool like that. Phlegmatics, they are wild though they are very cool. They don't move easily, they're just there. But God can be able to change the phlegmatic when he presses the button. God that you change it to a cholera. They say. Myself has come. You're sanguine, you're always making noise, laughing, joking. You might be able to turn into a melancholic, become very quiet and serious. He's changing me completely. That's what it means. This is the beginning of what I want to be. Yeah, it's the beginning. It's changing me completely every day. I can see trees are working me. Hey, finish. What I like, what I see. Finish once you start eating me long. I love what you doing in me. My 60 year, My 60 year old friend come 15. What's the name again? Huh. Sinok. Sinoko. Sinoko Sinoko. Now think about what a lot has started to do in Sinoko's life. How many like what you see? How many is changing her completely? I want the other line, the first one. How many agree that is the beginning of what she wants to be changing me? So now I preach. My mother doesn't recognize me on stage. Is that my son? Yeah. Changing my life was Sports Club, swimming, diving, surfing. You know, surfing. I used to. Surf on the Atlantic Ocean with a surfboard. I go far and I come with the. Waves. That's me. You. Don't know if I don't tell you will not know. Yeah, that's my life. Horse riding. I used to. I used to climb mountains with horses, steep mountain and I would climb climb to the top and cross rivers with horses and swim with the horse that the horse is now. Swimming and I'm on the horse and all the time that was my life. This is the beginning. That's all that was all my life. I think if I were to progress and to progress and progress along a certain line, race, horse racing, gambling, gambling, I started to know, he said. Not only was I gambling, but I started to know the one who is going to actually win. Before the race, we tell you that this one is winning and although this one can win, he's going to allow this one to win. So you see them going and I know that this is a champion, so that he'll be doing something, be something, be that the horse is second. He'll never be first. One day there was a certain horse, he was a champion horse. But every time you lose a race, you are demoted to the next level and demoted and demoted and demoted and demoted and demoted until you are at the lowest possible of donkeys. You are you are demoted. We have Division One A1B2A, division 2B3B and four which are almost donkeys. They're just African rural horses and a certain man came and brought a horse from Senegal or somewhere that could really have Arabian horse. When the horse came, he came with a big name. I will not mention the name. Then the horse came to run on. Last, every day last. We were all watching it. Those of us who knew, they demoted the horse from when he came back one division 2A2B3A3B3C4 down to the donkeys. And then one day, let's go. He. Won is that was at the beginning. He left, not that he reached far away, he left. All of them came to pass. They started to win every race from the last division up to from the donkeys. He beat all of them every week. He was going like that. So he was the champion horse in the whole country. Yeah, but if you don't know, he says, look at. That new donkey that I said, this is not a donkey I knew inside, but true Christ. Betty told me. She gave me a message. She asked me where are you going? I said I'm going to the racecourse. She said, what are you going to do there? I said I'm going to go every Saturday I go to the racecourse. She said, do you know First Thessalonians 522? I said what? She said, do you know First Thessalonians 522? I said I don't know. It says abstain from all appearances of evil. I said what is appearances of evil? What is? Appearances of evil, I said. It's not evil, I said. I said she's. I know it's not even an appearance of evil. I struggled for a few weeks, but it was over. He was changing me. Yeah, I will not know. I've come from a. My mother, when she came to God, she did not believe in God. She was a normal European. Europeans don't believe in God. Yeah, I grew up with that. Look at me and I'm preaching. My mother comes to my church. She supports our church. She pays tithes. She works evenly for the church without being paid. Yeah, it's changing. I like how does it start? This is the beginning. This. Is the beginning of your life and your ministry. What are you worried? About If it's just the beginning, what are you worried about? If it's just the beginning of your ministry, what are you worried about? It's just the beginning. It's your first battle. It's your first birthday. You are afraid. Who? More Buttersacker. Listen, David said. I am surrounded. I am, he shouted three times. Surrounded. Oh Lord, I'm surrounded. But I shall cut them off. In the name of the Lord. He said they have surrounded me. Like bees. Have you seen a man who is surrounded by bees? That's what happened to David in his fight for the Lord. It's the beginning, but it's changing you so completely and so radically that somebody will come and then they'll be analyzing your nature. They say you are choleric and people will laugh. It's originally a phlegmatic. Originally phlegmatic, originally changed completely when you see the guys as if it's a choleric something. Totally changed a gambler who has become a preacher and. For Niketa was become the holy man of God purpose, Elijah was passing the wife the Shunam mighty man says see this holy man of God that comes to pass. Now you cannot do certain things even by the grace of God because of your tiredness in the world. You have spent all your strength, God will grant you tiredness. Now nothing works again. You just be moving as an elderly patient who who has no desires. This is the beginning. I can show you a film of Reinhard Bunker's ministry. When I show you this is the beginning. It's changing me completely. I had a complex and I showed them his ministry. See the beginning and you see that? Yeah. But the glory will come when it's finished. When you fought, you must. You must fight some fights. You must lose some and I've lost some fights, I've lost some battles, but I'm still standing by the grace of God and I'm still fighting. To win a war. You must become wars yourself. Hi, how many are ready to become a personal war in the system? Ice. Look at how pastor. Kinsley has been tired in South Africa, and Pastor Lucia has been. Even more tired than. Anybody in this country, Pastor Cruz, he is the most travelled lay pastor in the whole world since the world was began, since the world began 160 kilometers a day, because of Christ, because he had another work, another work. He used to go 1 kilometer to work and camp. But because of Christ and the way he moved here to travel 160 kilometers, 180 kilometers day daily so that he could be here. See how people have been tired? And you want to get up and come and spoil something that people have been. Tired. That's why I said that. Subway. Do you understand ABBA? ABBA is an animal, An animal is coming, and Jata is a lion. A what? Simba, a lion, a king of the jungle is coming. ABBA be an animal is a certain animal is coming, and a certain lion, Jata be Reba it is coming. We are going to war. We are coming to fight Abu Nidah in the church, We are coming to fight Judas in the church, We are coming to remove the mask from absaloms in the church. We are coming to deal with Lucifer and Satan's and call us in the church. Although we have suffered a lot in this church before. We see that we are standing here. People have really suffered. As a griefer, will you be happy to see that somebody has come to spoil the church? Somebody has suffered. You are coming. To spoil the church and nice thing that has to end beautifully, we must. All see you, all of us are going. To smile when we are in our coffins. Everybody do your mouth like this. That's how you look like, where you are, where you are. How many are ready to become a war? To win a war, you must become a war. There is no shame. There's no shame in that. You're going to scream, hey, we have suffered and we want to see something. When Juanita died, Mrs. Saki, Bishop Saki's wife, there was something that was a bit frightening about it. When I went to the Mochi, she had a smile on her face. As I look at her lying there, I was just alone there looking at her. Somebody lifted her head. She just it was like, you don't know what you are doing. You carry on whatever you want to do. Hey, a setting smile that will make any living person wonder that this person is actually happy. A smile. Is it, is it a smile? I tell you when you lie in your coffin? The smile you remember, the branches, and you, you members of Orangu who came. There. Well, that guy came. I turn into a war. To win a war, you must do what? You must become a war. I turn into a movie war. Yeah, you see, Rambo, let me tell you. You see how I explain to you? Solomon said wisdom is found in the streets. He said wisdom shouts in the streets and in the square, in the noisy streets. That's where you get wisdom. You see it in the street. It's not even found by reading. You see it in the streets. You see wisdom. The guy who betrayed Rambo. A certain commander told him you are making a mistake. With this guy is. That what mistake? He said. The mistake you are making is Rambo. It's called Rambo. A time will come when Satan and demons who say you have made a mistake, the mistake you have made is Pastor Richard. They'll say the mistake I've made is Pastor Crucu. He's a mistake like you have made. You have made a mistake you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have dealt with him like that. So the person has turned into a war. You have suffered in. Mozambique, somebody should come and spoil your church. We have suffered. To send missionaries quarter of $1,000,000. We spent only this year, this year that has come this year 200 and something something, something thousand U.S. dollars today, credit crunch have sent mysteries all over credit crunch. There's no man. Look at the money we have used to send past this. So you are coming to spoil the church. You know it will not be easy for you again. Yeah, I mean they are ready to turn into war, personal war. One man who can kill everybody can fly helicopter, you can swim, you can kill with knife you can kill with. Gun, pistol, but. Anytime thing at all, Boss and Arrow. You are good at it. Yeah. What do you think? Are you ready? Yeah. So what's the name again? So Singapore, Singapore, Singapore, Singapore. How many want to see the? Maybe she'll be Kathryn Kuhlman one day. Maybe one day she'll be holding. Maybe she'll be a little bigger. She'll be holding her mic and she'll be putting a lot of people there like that. She'll be holding her hand. She'll be ministrying. She'll be missing. She said, come forward, come forward. It should be this one, this one, this one. This is just. The beginning, don't be surprised. So that is why we, that's why we are, we are doing, we are practicing what we call protectionism have to protect our industries, our investments. Anybody who wants to come for this one? You rise up and you say zaminamina, zaminamina, zaminamina. To win a war, not become war, Sit down all right #10 we must finish our work and experience. All. This we must finish our work so. That. We experience all the sufferings that Christ has intended for us. Amen. Now there was a set that was set, a vessel full of vinegar. And. They filled a sponge with vinegar and put it on a high sub and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said it is finished. Wow. And he bowed his head and gave up the ghosts. We are going to take a break here, but I want everybody to get some vinegar for the next session. There is a setting. Others vinegar taste, yeah, sour, bitter, sharp. Everybody try to get some vinegar. Today's our vinegar here. Can I get some vinegar? Everybody's going to taste vinegar. We are all going to drink some vinegar today and it's going to be the message to you that there is. Something that God wants you to taste after you've tasted it. You will be able to say with Jesus it is Spanish. That tell us time. It is Spanish. I finished you see finishing is not only accomplishing, but finishing is also experiencing tasting. There are some things you must experience. You see, one day I went somewhere, they gave me fish to eat which has not been cooked before raw fish. So when they. Put it in front of me, I said. OK, you put it there, I'll eat it. So I took a fork as they were eaten. I held the pin at that and I prayed and I put it in my mouth. Then soft raw fish and I swallowed and it went. That was it. Then I went to another place, they cut a crocodile and they cut some of the crocodiles still for me, and they gave it to me to eat. Not raw. That one was cooked crocodile. I want to. I put it in A and I swallowed it. I said thank you. He said enough. Why do you think I ate it? So that one day I can say I've eaten a crocodile before. Yeah, That's the only reason. Experience after experience. Certain things. I've. I've eaten a raw fish before. I've eaten a crocodile before. I have to be able to say it. What have you been through? What have you survived? What have you suffered? The things you are supposed to accomplish are not only things that you have done, but things that you have experienced and endured and survived in your life, in your marriage, in your home, in your personal experience, in your financial life, whatever. There are some. Experiences you are supposed to have. That's why I tell people who are not full time in ministry. I said there is a difference between being a lay pastor and being a full time. There is a difference, you see, because a man can behave like a woman now, but he's not a woman. He can't walk with the bottom like that. But it doesn't make you a woman. You can have some breasts, but it doesn't make you a woman. You can speak. Hey man, I don't know you. Can do your hand like that. You can do your hand still you are not a woman. You get what I'm saying? So you. Can do things but so a late pastor can do to work for. You are not in full time ministry. There is a. Difference and sometimes to build full time is God has desired for you to test something see Jesus that's what process to fulfill the sufferings of Christ to experience this suffering law to fulfill this the experiences there's some some suffering. That you have to also go through and when you successfully experience it, then you're qualified for certain things. So when? When did when they asked him? Can we sit on your right or your left? He asked. Can you drink the cup? It is a can you build a church like I'm going to build a church? Can you experience what I'm going to experience? Can you taste what I'm tasting? OK, They said OK, yes, you will taste it. You taste it. There's some. Taste you must have, I said. Have you? Tested. One before I have, I have. I've been there. I've been in there in the darkness. I've been there when I was surrounded. I've been there when the bees were in front and the bees were around me. I've been there when I thought I would never make it. I've been there when I knew that I cannot make it, I cannot survive. But God saved me at the last moment. I've been in there. There are some tastes you have to taste. It's not about what you have accomplished, but what have you been through, What have you experienced, What have you survived? And so being a crystal is also about experiencing certain things. You see when? When you are full time, you are subject to forces you don't control. It's an experience you have to have. You have to experience it and do well in it. To to to live Pretoria or to leave Johannesburg and move there? I am moving to. Mafi King, I'm moving to somewhere just because of the church that you ever done anything like that because of God? Some of you have never done anything for God before. All you've ever done is for yourself. Even to transfer your location or your job where you are working, to try and move to a remote place just so that you can do the work. Some have never done anything for God before. Anything you've ever done has been for yourself. You have never experienced denying yourself for Christ and God is saying to finish. You are going to taste some things if you already come, and that's why I always promise people suffer so that you even experience something more bitter. So when we all, when we get our vinegar today, when we taste, we realize that it is not nice, but it's not as terrible as we thought. That's one of the revelations you'll get serving God. There's some pain in it, but it's not as terrible as it may look sometimes from the outside. Yeah, it's not as terribly evil. It's not evil. It's a blessing, Amen. Derek Prince wrote a book called The Grace of Yielding. He saw, I said, I saw a pastor preaching on television. The guy was saying about what he's doing. He's done this, he's done this, he's done, he said to himself as he was watching the guy. It's good, it's nice. But this young man will get to a place where he'll realize it's not about what he's doing, but what is he allowed himself to experience or to allow to happen in his life. Even if you take Bishop Saki, he has experienced the death of a wife. It's an experience that God allowed him to experience. And he may not allow every, of course not everybody's going to experience that, but it's a, it's a, it's the higher. There are two high stresses a person can experience, the death of a spouse or divorce. They are the highest stresses in this world for a human being. Now God made him go through that thing. I don't know why. But it's a taste. Now you ask yourself. Why? And also to feel powerless, there's a there's a place I have to feel powerless. Every man of God must get a place where he realized that he had not that he realized that he sees it and everybody sees that he has no power. Jesus was signed the cross and the people said. If you are the Son of God, come down, do this and you are, you are there. You don't save yourself. Heal yourself, physician, heal yourself. It's an experience. So you see that great, you are a great man of God, but you are powerless too. You pray and they die. It's an experience. I've prayed for people who are dead. I've prayed for people who are who who are healed, and I've prayed for people who died. You have to experience it so that you see that you are nothing. It's heavy. Are you ready to experience? Amen. Are you sure you are ready to experience what it's like to be alone, to be forgotten? You have to experience to be forgotten, to be rejected, to be alone. You fall into the dampness and the darkness and the aloneness where a seed falls into the ground and he dies. And when you experience it successfully, then you begin to bear fruit. That is the meaning of suffering. Are you there? How many understand what I'm talking about? Or you don't understand what I'm talking about? Do the people understand what I'm preaching? How do you know whether they understand what I'm preaching? How many understand what I'm preaching about? Does it make sense to you? Do you understand what I'm saying? The experiences in mass experience. Is God ordained? And sometimes when you take certain decisions, it brings that experience. As soon as you take the decision, that thing comes to you. Yeah, because you took that decision. So many of you missionaries. If you are successful at being lonely. One day you see a lot of fruits. And you will cry when you see the. People, because you know, that really suffered. One day I went to Pastichements Church in Tema and the choir sang twice. It happened to me, one in Tema and one in who I've not really been to any big brand that had been successful. I don't know, but I just remember as a student he had a big choir in the sun. Tears were in my eyes all the time and I was just looking and saying that hey, so it's worth it. Because his church that we had bought that building, we have suffered so many things there and so many, so many experiences. But you see now a big church with choirs people are singing, working for. God, hey. And you realize that you have to experience all that to experience one day this fruits. But if you can survive, not everybody will survive, though many are called, but few are chosen. Amen. Some people cannot even survive a camp. They cannot even attend a camp. They cannot even get away from their work. They cannot even overcome, fail. They cannot even make a way. Yeah. How much more to make another kind of way for the church to work, huh? You see the marriage vows that you use when you're having weddings. You know, when I wrote those vows, I wrote it when I was a house officer working on duty at Kollebu Hospital, doing my housemanship. I write it in the. I wrote it in the night on the ward. I. Wrote it on. Medical to ward. Medical ward too. That's where I wrote it. I had it there and I was writing, composing it. That's what you've been using for your weddings when I was working at the hospital. If you can't even overcome Pharaoh, who are you going to overcome when you get to the wilderness and you see lions and other things? What is your work? Your work. Can be overcome so that you can save goal. If I have not worked before, I would respect your work. If I have not been to school before, then I would be afraid of your school. But I've been to university for seven good years. 1982 to 1989, Tenth of March 4:00 I finished. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
