Welcome to track #11 of finish what you started. Through what we've seen so far, to finish, we finished it. To finish what we've started isn't it? Are you on course to finishing what you've started? OK what is the first reason we want to read together? Go through it together First reason to finish in what or why? We must finish what we have started and we have. We are doing 24 reasons why we must finish what we have started. Reason #1 is what? No, no, no, no, no, no. Why don't we all say the same things? Sounds like we have different things. So that what? It's beautiful. But I'll come back to you. See you soon. We'll finish. We'll finish what we started. All right #11 we jump from 1:00 to 11:00. We, we, we were on what number 10? OK #11 we must finish what we started so that we are not moved, Amen, From our particular course. OK, all right. Are you there now? We have a particular course. Now Turn with me to Acts 2024. Acts 2024. We've not been to America before. But none of these things move me, Amen. Neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy. Amen. And the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus to testify the gospel of the grace of God, Amen. Amen. Are you excited about this verse? You see, anytime you are finishing OK, you get it. What do you call it? Where are we, 2024? Anytime you finish, it means you are not moved. When you don't finish, it means you are moved. And then that's why he said none of these things move me so that I might finish. So some of you may not finish your calling a lighthouse because you are moved and it or you don't understand it. There is no shame. You may scream. Let's say God has planned for you to be an apostle. Like how Pastor Klufio is being sent as an apostle. Some of you may never get there because something will move you, You understand. So each step you take must be a step that shows how you are not being moved. Do you know that I've always wanted to evangelize and I've expressed it, I think, by preaching about evangelism because I wouldn't evangelize. And I've expressed it by organizing Crusade for Bishop Saki to preach. Do you see? But then today I'm preaching so. And I remember when I, I would chat with Bishop Saki many years ago when we were in school in, in the 80s, he would tell me about how he's concerned about the people that need Christ in the towns and the villages. And I also felt that I also had the same concern. And Pastor Jake also had the same concern. Mr. Jake was one of our early evangelists in the church. We had a crusading at Bozuma. Isn't it some years ago? So for us to be evangelizing in a very serious way, it means that a lot of things that wanted to move us have not been able to move us. What do you think? So plan to be one of the old men in the church in Jesus name. I said in Jesus name. Plan to be one of the old ladies in church. Plan to be one of the people who sleeps in church due to old age. Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying. I mean, you have been, you have been so faithful that in your old age, even when the younger ones are preaching, you sit there to encourage them and you, you sleep as a, as a problem of old age. But you are there. You get what I'm saying? How many agree that is better to come and sleep than you didn't? I mean, you are not around at all. I mean, there's no shame. You are, you are 80 years old. There's no shame If you are sleeping during the Sunday morning sermon at the age of 80, there is no shame. You may scream. Yeah. Are you there? None of these things move me. So finishing is all about not being moved and that is why you must finish. You see, Pastor Obi, he has been sent to Kenya from England in order to finish his work. A lot of things must not move him. He should not be moved by a whole lot of things. And Charlie, as the fight gets hotter, that's when you know that you are really cold. If you don't have any crisis in your life, I don't think you are cold. There must be some trouble in your life because the devil will not attack a dead piece of wood which is not harming him. Now when you are disturbing the enemy, there will be so many issues in your life, your ministry, the church, situations, finances, whatever. But if you have rested and you have falling away, that's why you stand back and say no, I have need of nothing. I have no problems. I have no needs as I'm here now. I need so many things. I need so many things, so much money. I'm praying huh? So now when I read from David, I become encouraged, who was always fighting. He has become one of my favourites. When I say I read, I'm surrounded, I'm surrounded, O Lord, they have surrounded me like bees. Then I I can identify with it because I'm also in a battle constantly. When I finish this side I tend to decide I'm fighting. Amen. How many are ready to do be excited in the fights? Yeah, there must be war. To win a war, you must become war. How come your life is so peaceful? You are tall. How come your life is so peaceful? There's no trouble in your life, there's no crisis in your life. Everything is perfect. Are you part of the same army that we are part of? When you go to certain places that you, you go to certain parts of the world, you see that it's not a small thing to be there fighting and you know that yes, you are part of the war. So Paul said, none of these things move me and then neither count I my, my life dear. When you count your life dear, and you count your new car dear, and your house dear, and your little children dear. Sometimes I look at my children, I say, well, if I die, I've done my best for them. I've done what I I did after now I've done what I think I can do. I've looked after them, I've loved them, I've played with them. Everything that I, I think I can do if I go, glory be to God, God will take care. That's how I think. Neither can't have my life dear to preserve myself for my children. Because by the way, I don't need to come here. I'm not gaining anything by coming here. I don't understand what I'm saying. I mean in terms of the natural, I don't get the message. So there are always precious which you want to move. Some of you are moved by your children. You are moved by your father. Your father can move you, your mother your beloved's face, your wife can move you. You say you are called, but your wife can move you. Then you are not called. Rise up and show your wife who is the head of the house. Beat your chest and say to win a war you must become war and you are going to see war in this house. You shall see war. I cannot allow your wife to rule you and call yourself a man. Manhood is not about one guy was. Are there children here, Sinocles. Yeah. 15 years old. OK. You're saying like a man and your wife is leading you. She's going where she wants to go, she's doing what she wants to do. Her attitude is leading your house, her spirit is guiding the mission, and you are calling yourself the head of the house. Me, my wife does not lead me. When I entered a relationship with her, I said I would like to marry you, will you marry me? She said yes, OK, then we were going. Then she said she's going to England to go and study law. I said, well, by the time you come back from studying this law for two years or whatever, I don't know whether your mind will be working in the same way that my mind is working. So if you go to England to study law, I cannot guarantee that I can be in a relationship with you again. Yeah. If you are good. Two years I can't guarantee. Yeah. Look, if you are not hard, then a wife will lead you. My wife. I told her one day. I said that I will never obey you. I will be God. That's I told. I promise you. I To win a war, you must become War Joe Boy. You say you are a man. Do you know what you use to measure whether you are a man? You are using the wrong things to measure. Yeah, a man that a woman leads you. Yeah, I'm going to. I'm writing a book about the wisdom of serpents. Yeah, Serpentine wisdom, 28 keys. But one of the wisdom of a snake is that it can eat the wife. So when the king cobra, when the king cobra is going to have, what people know is that snakes eat snakes. They swallow them like spaghetti like that. That's how that's one of the things that's next to many snakes eat snakes. You see, a very poisonous snake is simply spaghetti for another snake. Do you know spaghetti noodles? So when the king cobra is approaching a female to have marital relations, the the the female is not sure whether it is coming to have sex or it's coming to eat it. But it doesn't joke with disobedient wives at all right now. Now they're with you. No, I'm telling you I can. I can show you. I can show you a film. You see when, when this time it's not sure, because in case it is not a good this thing and he's rather hungry than sex. But you know a man is full of sex. These are the two things that he needs. You say you are a man, you cannot eat up the female rather it will be leading you. Some of you your churches are made-up of the people that your wife likes. Your church will never grow. They are made-up of Some people's churches are made-up of only ugly women, because your wife will not allow any beautiful girl to be in the church. Any beautiful member that comes who is that girl, be very careful. Let this be your wife is one who let this be the last time and you call yourself a man. You are measuring the wrong taste. One day I went to visit a certain beautiful lady. So I asked him why have you not been coming to the church into a church? She said a church because the church was the pastor of the church was a woman. She said oh there were a lot of lady pastors. They said, oh the women have sacked all of us. We, the beautiful ones have been sacked from the church. Any nice looking lady out you out, you out, you out. And you say you are a man. What are you measuring that is revealing to you that you are a man? Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying. None of these things move me. Neither can't I myself. My life, dear. Look, you see, Do you remember that story? That was a story. There was a certain man and he was going or on a journey. He left somewhat, excuse me, 5 talents, 2 talents, 1 talent. When he came back, the guy with one talent came and said I know that you are a hard man reaping where you have not sown. Now that statement is true. If you are not hard, you cannot do the work that you are supposed to do. Yeah, you cannot you get it? Yeah, you cannot you will stop. Paul said I don't count my life, dear. Paul said none of these things move. Things are trying to move me. I cannot be moved. Nothing can move me from my my course. If you want to be a pastor, huh. So maybe some of you the things that move you are so small is it is a pity. That's why when people talk, I say to them these days, shoot, don't talk. Have you watched this film The Good, The Bad and the Ugly? Have you watched it before? Yeah. Is it in every film those who talk a lot die? Have you seen at the end of the film there's a blow man and then another guy and then the guy has caught him. I said he starts to talk to him. You see you this, this and that. I told you this, this, there's that. You see, you should have shot talking too much. So in the good manner of the ugly guy he was, then somebody caught him and the guy was talking, say you this, this, this, this, and he had a gun under the water, so he brought the gun out and shot the man. When he shot that side, you see, shoot, don't talk. You talk too much. Shoot, shoot. Don't talk. We need more actions than talking. Amen. Show yourself to be a man. Your school can prevent you. Your mother can prevent you. Your beloved can prevent you. Your wife can prevent you. Your business can prevent you. Your fears can prevent your mother-in-law. One guy told me my grandmother, something about my grandma said grandmother is even not in the Bible. We have, we have my father, your father, your mother and so on. But grandmother that you have gone so high now he told me that his grandmother wasn't well. So because of that service, service, service, look at somebody. So these days I don't want to hear somebody said, yeah, I have a feeling I want to do that. I said shoot, don't talk, just shoot. So I want to encourage all of you. Don't allow anything to keep you away from the ministry as you see me preaching here. Even my mother-in-law could have kept me out, out of the ministry. My earthly father, my father said, look, do what you want to do. He's like, you'll be there, you see? Yeah, yeah. I mean, whatever, if I can survive, my mother-in-law, talk, talk, talk always. Until one day I said to her because I was a doctor and I was not going to work at the hospital and I said I'm a pastor of some few people. One day I told her I said please teacher, her name is police teacher, please teacher. I said please teacher, let this be the last time that you talk about this topic. This is what I have decided to do. When I told her I was afraid, I told her with all due respect, I said it respectfully. Yeah. With all due respect, please, I don't want to talk about this again. I've decided to do what I'm doing. This is it. Got it. Yeah. And from that time till today, No. Yeah, yes. They have never brought it up. No. One day my father-in-law looked at me and said you look like Jesus as I look at you at 1st, at first I was Satan. I was this, I was that. Now, after fulfilling the call for some time, look and say you look like Jesus. None of these things My father-in-law couldn't. My father-in-law went to the hospital. He said he knows the administrator was I've been posted to the pathology department, which is the the Mortuary where the dead people are. And he said I know why you are not going to work. It is because of the Mortuary. You are afraid of the Mortuary, so I am going to see him to transfer you to another place where there are no dead people. I said Daddy, that is not the reason why I want to work for God. I had to deal with my father-in-law. I had to deal with my mother-in-law. I had to deal with financial reasons. Huh. Wow. I was afraid, but I said I don't care which school would my children go to. I said I don't care what school. They will bail by me. They will speak English. I'll give them story books to read. They will speak English well. They will know how to write and read. This is basic. Basic. They can learn how to read and write. Yeah. And I'm blessed. Yeah, and when my son went to medical school, I was surprised that me, I'll have a childhood go to medical school. I was because I never my children is was I've dashed them to the forest. Oh yeah, you know what I was doing. I know the line. You see people, people used to argue my children go to this cause. My children go to know them. My children this the school they go to here. My son is a founder of a nursery school. He was the first student in that school, the only student. There was nobody else in the school. So recently they called him to come for anniversary. I think they were having 15 years something anniversary. He was the first student when the school was, because it was a new school, cheap, whatever, and just buy a house. We went and put in desert. This is our child. Yeah. I've played all these games with my life and with my children and my wife and everything. If it has worked out, praise God. But whether I work or it doesn't work, that was my mind. It's ever possible. Neither can't I. My life dear to myself, that's how come I'm able to finish my call and do what I'm doing. I want to be thinking about a lot of things. I will not be, I will not even be here and and you will also not be here. You in fact you are the one who will not be here. That's that's how the ministry is done. You get it by not being moved. There are some of you, you say you are coming to Ghana to Bible school. Something small can move you. Talking plenty. I said don't talk, shoot, stop your talking. Do you understand? Yeah. So if you are going to finish your call, you have it. It proves that a lot of things couldn't move you from the conviction that you had in your life. A lot of things couldn't move you, and when you don't finish it, it shows how much so many things moved you. And especially it starts from the family. If it's fathers, mothers, grandmothers, in laws, children, whatever, it goes on. Are you listening? Yeah, so watch out #12 we must finish our work. Whether it is a long project or something short, we must finish long. Long callings and short callings must all be finished. That's why we must finish. We must finish because we must finish whether it's short, whether it's long. But sometimes the short 1 is great, but sometimes it's long. Sometimes it's 50 years of ministry. In Romans Chapter 9 verse 28, he says for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. Romans Chapter 9 verse 28. How many realize that sometimes you've got something short to Juanita had a short calling. She died at the age of 42. She came into her ministry for a few years, maybe 7 years. I don't know if she was 10 years full time ministry. I don't think so. Short. She had a short calling. Some of us, our callings are short. Yeah. What's the name of Simukai? He died. He had a short calling. How old was he? 25 And and at the last camp he was here and I spoke with him and I agreed with him that he was coming to Ghana. Isn't it for for healing Jesus crusade. He was coming to work with us. So I said come, I didn't know that I will not see him again. You know I didn't know that his his calling was so short. He had been given only 25 years to live on this earth. I was talking to a 24 years old person who had been given 25 years to live. I didn't know that he had some months to live. Maybe if he had come earlier it would have. Oh, you never know. Possible. What do you think? So brothers and sisters, there are short works. There are also long. I mean, how do you know? Ask your neighbor. Are you going to live long or short? How do you know? Ask your neighbour, do you think you you will be an old man when you are dead? Or you will die and ask your neighbour, do you think you will die within the next 5 years? Now ask your neighbour, do you think you'll be alive by December? Asha, never. Do you know? Hey, did you ask yourself such questions? Well, when you ask yourself these questions, you become very wise because you know that you cannot give an answer of yes. How do you know? How can you be sure? There are so many things that can pick you out. Within a few weeks, you'll be gone and somehow is mysterious when you are called to live long, you live even though they are threatening things that seem to be killing. One pastor, he had a chronic renal failure. He was dying and he had been on dialysis for a long time. So I mean, chronic renal failure, kidney failure, you are supposed to die. But they kept on dialysis. He has been on dialysis for so many years, surviving. And one day a certain young lady decided to marry him. You see a nice beautiful girl in the church and she knew very well that the person she's marrying, that she's born in love with is somebody who is on death row, is somebody who is, I mean, supposed to die but is survived. None of his kidneys are working. They have transplanted doesn't work. They have done transplants and he's in the highest possible place. You can get nothing. Even the, the, the chronic thing now the veins are fibrosis. It's not easy for them to do the dialysis. So as she married him, she knew that she would by all means be a widow very soon. And she, she still decided to marry him. A few couple of months after she married, she was rather diagnosed with cancer. Yeah, and aggressive kind of cancer. I'm talking about ministers at a second level. And she rather deteriorated suddenly and fast. Within a few weeks she was dead and he rather buried her. When I visited the agent, I saw the guy who was standing there. You still living, worship, talking, whatever. He is alive. His new young wife who was slated to be a widow is rather gone and he is there and then life is moving on. Because you see, Baba says God says I'll do a short work. Sometimes he will do a short work. So those of you who are postponing them, when I'm 32, then I'll do this and I'll have two children. After two children I'll do this. And then my husband, he will do this. Look, these plans you are making, I don't know who gave them to you. I don't know who gave these plans to you and where you got the faith to have such projections. I I don't know where you get such faith from because sometimes God does a short work and we did that short work. You're supposed to fulfill your God. Listen, we don't joke. When God calls you, you cannot afford to say. Look, Lord, give me some time next week. Next time. See, Lord, see me. Next week. My God is calling you. Say, what's your name? What do you want from me? Why do you want me? I'm busy, Lord. You know, I'm a young man person, Lord, I'm nice, I'm school. I'm so young. Call an old man. Call somebody who is retired. Call somebody who doesn't have such computer skills like me for missing technology, somebody who is as bright as I am with bright eyes for the future. When God is calling you, you're right, Sir. You say yes, Sir, Lord, because you never know. The calling maybe is a short work. Simuka, he died five years after he got born again. Isn't it the day he died or the day he was buried was Pastor Niyajedu told me exactly 5 years ago, I had a crusade and this Simulkai gave his life to Christ. And five years to the date, the very day that they had that crusade, that he walked forward and gave his life to Jesus Christ was the day that he was buried. Pastor, our pastor, another pastor, I remember he died. I was on the golf course when they called me to tell me he was dead. Exactly 5 years from the time he gave his life to Christ in the hospital through one of our pastors. Give that guy a red card. The guy in the blue shirt, brother, arise, you see, go towards the Angel police. Can I have these two policemen, daughter and whatever. Remove him from the community. If he's arguing, carry him physically, carry him with his chair and all his possessions. There is no shame. Since 2006 December, I don't allow people to close their eyes. OK, what was I saying? Five years exactly after he gave his dad regrets, he died. Pastor Charles, Five years. So he says whether it's a short work, for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. Not that God makes a short work. It's not a long thing. And sometimes he lets you live long. John Wesley, he thought he was going to die when he was about 40. So he wrote his funeral things and all that. He didn't die. He lived to 80. He wrote his funeral, his epitaph, everything. He wrote it. When I die, write this, do this. He thought he was dying. And in those days people died more at the age of 40, 40-50. But he didn't die. He lived. I told you that some people, they don't easily die. He lived and lived and lived and lived and lived. He was 80, Preaching and preaching and preaching. He was very old when he died. You get it. So brothers and sisters, God may be doing a short work with you. And if you're going to finish your short work, you can't put it off. You can't say, you know, Lord, I'll see you. And when you are young, that's when God likes you. When you are young, you are juicy, you are fresh, you are nice, you have strength, you are full of sexual desires. Shabbaya. How many realize that sometimes you feel certain feelings. It is a sign of strength Yeah. Erections are a symptom of the bodies restedness and well-being. Yeah. Are you strong? Are you very strong? So. So you may be thinking it's a sign of Satan. You see, some of you feel that it's a sign of no. It's a sign that you are well. It's a sign that you are strong, there's energy, there's life. It's a sign of your calling that God. God has called you in your strength. At the peak of your strength. You have to check. Come and see some of the elderly pastors and ask them what has been happening in their houses. They they slip like that kind of wood in the house. But you see, when you have a mind, you always feel like Satan or there is evil in you that always gets happy on its own. It rises. I mean, it wakes up when you haven't even decided to do something bad. It wants to do something on its own. Hey, but but rather it's a sign that you are aware that you are strong, very strong, the strongest so far. Give that all a shot or pray. Yeah, that is when that is when God is calling you. Not aware. Now you are tired. No energy, no life, no strength. No zeal, no fire, no power. No. Yeah. Because when you are young and God is God, you are afraid. Say Lord, I'm always. How many brothers on the real life feel that? You are always feeling lost? No, you are feeling strength. Strength. Yeah, feeling strength. Yeah. So, so it is a matter. Listen, listen, tell me I'm not joking or there's no, I don't have even 1% of joking what I'm saying. Yeah, brothers, it's a sign. So it is about which direction will you put the strength? Yeah. Which direction will you put the strength? Yes. Which, where will you put your strength to work? You can either go from woman to woman like a dog, and you keep going indiscriminately from one vagina to another. And and and you are, you are, you are just like an animal. You're just like an animal. Yeah, you're just like an animal. There's no need of that. You can get your own personal vagina in the house. You understand? Your own wife. You get it. Do you understand what I'm talking about? And you direct. Look, look, look, look, you are disturbing me. And then you direct your strength. You understand, you use a portion for your wife and you the rest. Any remaining energy for evangelism. Tell your neighbor you are strong. Very strong. The strongest so far? Yeah. Sit down. How many brothers realize that God has also called you ancestors? You are now beautiful, but soon your beauty is going to start licking. Yes, it's going to lick like that. Your face will change because gradually as your face is bitten by the weather, the rain, the sun, the dust, you see that even your face is different from your neck. When you go and go and look in the mirror, see that your face is different. Even your neck is nicer than your face because your face is now weary of life, weather, beating. Look at other aspects of your weaponry. You realize that they are all changing now. When you are ministering, people even look at you. Just like elections, people look. So this man is nice. Most people vote on that basis, not on your economic policies. Economic policy is the last thing they think about. Wisdom is the last. Just like he's nice, He talks nicely. He looks like a president. Yeah, we are going to vote for him. Yes, we can. You see Obama, handsome guy, talking nicely, wraps speeches. Oh, easy. Compare him with an elderly person who is weather beaten and very tired and injured in wars. It is so different thing. It wasn't a difficult election at all for the masses to choose. Do you understand? So ladies, your beauty, this is the time that God needs your beauty. Are You Beautiful? Maybe it's a shot where God has. Don't wait till you are all. I mean you cannot even find clothes to organize yourself into. Every cloth is smaller than you. Yeah, now that you are nice, you are tegged, you are succulent, you are fresh, voluptuous. Start speaking for Jesus. Don't be a strange woman who is using her powers. When you read the Bible that all faults of men are attributed to women or the sexual sin is never attributed to a man in the Bible or generally it is not you only they always blame women in Proverbs that to deliver thee from the strange woman always try protecting you from it's like the woman she haunted after the precious life. The Bible described these people as hunters. He always, he always blamed the woman, not me. The Bible in Babylon said the woman, she said she has been turned into nothing because she's full of adultery. She has, she has drank the wine of fornication with the kings of the earth. The kings, they were left. She was judged with all the kings who have slept with her. They left them and they judged her because that's for the brothers. We know. We know ourselves by you, the ladies. When you are doing that, it means your mind is some way. So sisters, use your beauty. Oh yeah, it, it's all part of it. People are listening to a beautiful preacher. Paula White, Joyce Meyer, whatever, whatever they, they, they, they listen. They look and they listen. Everybody looks and listen, watch and pray. So use your beauty. Don't be annoyed at what I'm saying. No, no, no. I'm telling you the truth. A time will come you will not get things to buy, even to wear. You'll see that the size you are no more in these other sizes, you are an advanced size. You'll be wearing shorts. Anything different, make good things. So when you are nice, you understand. The reason why I'm saying is that to be a president, you must be 14 to be a minister. They will always say, oh, this man, he's sleeping with the girls in the church. They've said all these things about me over the years. They've sleep with the girls in the church. He's doing this. This person will be this, this. That's how people think. You see, one day somebody told us and I said you are too handsome to be a husband. So you are, you are too handsome to be a husband. It's like you are too nice. It's risky to marry somebody like you, somebody who is so handsome. It's like a lot of girls who like you. So it's a dangerous kind of person to marry. So say you are too handsome to be a husband. Yeah. There, there, there. People have this kind of mind so they did they discredit you. So you are a young man. So you there you are just I mean settled for multiple funicate. No, I am telling you and I'm encouraging you so that you believe that in your youthfulness, in your energetic state, in your the desire filled life and section of your life, you also rise up and do something for God rather than say I'm waiting. But when you wait till all those things are now gone, you have this number of children, you have a wife who doesn't follow you anymore, you have financial problems, mortgages, this, and all the reasons multiply. That's why God says that a Levite from the age of 25, he will start ministering in the House of the Lord. Jesus was 30 when he started ministering actively. Yeah. And so, brothers and sisters, it is your young state that God is interested in, not interested in your retirement state, your old state, your Finnish state, even the bank, the government. And if they retire, you automatically retire. 60 go, go, go. Sometimes 55 you must go, Go out, go out. Let other people come. Yeah, it's a reality. And I'm explaining to you that it's that same energy. You see, it's energy doesn't say that those things not necessarily a sign of sexual desire by such as a sign of well-being or health and strength. Yeah, You see, you may think I'm joking. I'm not joking at all. It's very real. It's actually a sign of strength, health, whatever and all those things. It's just a short period it to go. That's why the most sold drug in the world is Viagra. It's a drug to make erection because very soon that interest and whatever you see the thing and it's like what is this nasty this thing that we are looking at here? What is that? And you see that it has no effect on you. Yeah. So at this stage where you don't need such medicines and you are young man and you are fresh and you have energy and you have life, give that energy to God. I am here sent by God to call you to campaign, to say come and give your better years to God. Give your intelligence. You see how lighthouses? God has used all intelligence. He has given me all knowledge, all money, all connections, everything. I've applied it and deployed it for the church. Yeah, I'm now 40, so I could say yes. I'm not going to work for God. So I'm not going to start a church somewhere. Whatever. It will be very different. You know, you will not be here. Taboo. No, no, no, no. So you, you never know whether it's a short work. I don't know how long I'm going to live. I could, I could even die this year. I could just be gone, sadly, by the end of the year. So we've forgotten. So 1 Bishop. Yeah, 1 Bishop was around this, this, that, that. And I'll just be past history a year, two years ago, you do not even remember it's possible and never I could live to be 80 and all of you who think that what I'm saying is a prophecy that I'm going to I could bury all of you and still be here at the age of 80. Because anytime a man of God start to say such thing, then they start to recourse. Hey now, if it happens like that, they go and brings like see, he said this, this, it's a prophecy. You wait and see. I'll bury all of you and I'll still be here. And I'm giving teachings. You are thinking of other things. Your math. Amen. Beautiful girls. How many of You Beautiful girls are going to use your weapons, your youthfulness, your niceness for Jesus? Yeah, You see, there are people who don't like hearing these things. Some of you think I'm saying it too much, but I will say it. I will say it because many of you don't have anybody to talk frankly to you, to talk practically to you and tell you exactly what I'm saying. What I'm saying is true. Your beauty is for a period. One day I saw a certain lady and her husband died and she came to me. One day she said to me, I want to marry again. And I look at the lady. I said wow, it's not going to be easy to get somebody to marry you because even the younger ones who have never had a husband, it's not easy for us to get husbands for them. How much more you that have been married at least once at least you were married for some few years and now you want to join at the age of 40 something to come and join 21 year olds 23 years older. We are all looking for beloveds together. So when she said it, I didn't say anything and I just said made a lot provide because if the Lord will do a wonderful miracle perhaps, but it's not easy because you see your time passes. You are still a woman, but things are different. You know, when you look in the mirror, you don't see what I'm saying. You don't see. You see? Yeah, You see that what used to be here has moved to here. One day, one day, one day, I sat him. Pastor came to see me and he told me, Bishop, I've seen something. I said. I said, what have you seen? He said I've seen something. I said, what have you seen? He said what I have seen is very wild. I said, what have you seen? He said I was driving by the roadside and I saw a certain lady and this lady was carrying a baby at her back and she wanted to breastfeed the baby. So anytime she wanted to breast fishing she would take, he said. He said to the Bishop, I saw it with my eye. She would take the breast and then to the side. I said you are lying. He said Bishop, it's not that somebody told me, it's what I saw with my to the side. The thing can pass all the way to the back to the shoulder here. Are you playing basketball or what? OK, OK. You see a lot of people don't want to face these realities. Yeah, but it's a reality. One day I met a certain brother and I told him I said brother you need to change the style of your trousers. So he said, he said, why I said this trousers that you are wearing is for when you were younger, but now your stomach has become very big and it's moving downwards like this. So you need to get another type that will go over. But you see he didn't want to change it. So he was arguing with me but he didn't want to change it. But he thought he was still a young man said it is, you have to accept the realities. As for me, I said this one, I use it too as a cushion. It was not there before, but now it is there. What am I going to do? Hey man, are you listening? So tell your brother you are changing quickly. So stop preaching quickly before you become to look. One day a certain lady came to preach on television and there were some Christians watching her. And a pastor made a comment and said that oh, even you mentioned the name of the lady who was preaching on television. Oh, even somebody as ugly as this woman is preaching. So this person is not as ugly. I mean, he said it on television, clearly said no, an ugly woman like this is is able to preach. Yeah, I was surprised. You see back. It was something that was in our minds on that. She has said it. So, sisters, God made all of You Beautiful. And at least at a certain age, there's some beauty and you'll be surprised when you start preaching. People would like to marry you. Oh, yeah, Because your value goes up. I realize that it's not just dressing, eyebrows, eyelashes and all emptiness, but there's something in you, something in you. Can I have an Amen from the sisters? I see my ladies rising and becoming prophets, evangelists, apostles. Amen #13 all pastors and missionaries, Missionaries must finish their work being done in their church members lives. Amen Missionaries must finish the work that you are doing in people's lives. You see, that's why Pastor Daniel has to stay in Port Elizabeth till he finishes the work that he's doing on the members lives. Amen. And pastor, lady, Pastor Della Zanoso, what do you call her? 2nd Corinthians chapter 8, verse 5. And this not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God. So we edged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well. Amen. We were urging Titers. Titers had gone to crates, we had gone to various. We were urging him that as he has begun, he should finish it. Are you ready to finish your work in Botswana? Yeah. As you began, you got to finish it, Amen. Whatever you began, you got to finish it. You got to finish. You got to finish, you got to finish. So Titus, missionaries, pastors, you got to finish.

You are among those that are called you are among those that God shall use in the name of Jesus. Sit down. You know, there's there's something that I I want to show you how many have done some bad things since you were young in this world, but how many are ready to use the remainder of your young period for something? Oh Jesus, it's our time. Sing it. To everything there is a season, to every purpose. Psalm 25, Let me show you. The One who made the whole world has everything in his hand. He wants the world to know Him. In all His righteousness He has called us into His Kingdom for such a time. As this verse 7 is your vest, cycle it. It's our time to believe. It's our time to love and live. There was a time we received, but now it's time for us to give standing hand in hand, together. Can you hear the Spirit calling? God is calling you like a hook. It's like an anchor, like a hook that is putting your heart like this and pulling you. That's the kind of calling that God is calling. You put a hook and it's pulling you to come went for him as a young man. You see, David was also bad when he was young, so he prayed in vessel. Do not remember the sins of my youth, mercy, all my transgressions. How many have done some very bad things as a young person? Raise your hand, but how many rather you are still young, so the remaining part of your youth. You see, God is saying that He will not remember whatever you've done as a young person, do not remember it and your transgressions. Yes, because many of us, we, we, we, we committed sins in our ignorance. So he said, do not remember according to your loving kindness. Remember Me for your goodness sake. Amen. This is God's blessing for you today, that your youthful mistakes. That's why you see. As for me, I don't. If I have a pastor and it gets into trouble telling me I'm on the pastor's side, I can tell you in advance, the guy who is in trouble, I'm on his side. Even if he goes to sin, I'll be on his side. I'll fight for him. I will defend him. I will cover him, baby. I will not let you know. If you know I'll face, I'll face you. One day. I went, someone of my pastors went and commit, went to commit some sin with somebody. When I came, there were all the people. I came up with a pastor behind me. Stand behind me and I see all the people and you say what you say what you say what? I silenced all of them. How many of you have not committed sin before? Will you be quiet there? I silenced all of them. I took my guy, I returned with him, established him in the church, in the ministry, and later I sent him somewhere. And he's doing very well. Today. One day I was with Yongicho in Accra, in the restaurant, in a Thai restaurant. We were eating some kind of chicken, something special Thai chicken. I was sitting by him at the bar. We were eating and then somebody asked him, So what do you do if the pastor says, he said, well, this is you cannot tell, you know, he said, I have a pastor. He went and slept with some woman. This did that, he said, but I took him, I organized everything and so on. He said today he has 100,000 members. That guy, yeah, his his life has organized everything. Yeah. I'm not saying pastor go and do bad things. So, but I'm saying to you that look, sometimes we make mistakes and we are young and God said forgive me for this sins of my youth. Do you understand? Because you never know this guy who has committed sins in you. Sometimes God didn't allow you to commit sin so that you know that you are a Sinner. People who haven't done anything before, they don't know that they are sinners. You see, they're working in church as if they are the owners of the church. Sinners. All sinners to the left, all virgins to the right. Yeah, the latest Virgin Marys in the church. And you see that feeling in them. The Son of God allows you to experience something so that you know that tell you are an ordinary man. Zimbo, it's time for the young. How many are young? If you are young, just raise up your hand and enter the ministry in Jesus name. It's our time. Come on. It's our time to believe. It's our time to love and live. There was a time we received, but now it's time for us to give. Standing hand in hand together, let's reach out and touch our world. Can you hear the Spirit calling? It's our time.

Let's reach out and touch our world. Can you hear the Spirit calling you hear? Can you hear the Spirit calling you? He said. Come, you hear you. You come. You come, you come.

There will be another world after you. Those who are now three years old, those who are now six years old, they are coming by the time. Those who are 6 years are 36 to be 30 years plus your age. And it how much is that? How much would that be? So like you'll be 70 something if you are alive, you'll be a 70 year old lady walking in the church like this. And so she has been in this church for many years. She's one of her bishops, you know, whatever, so she said. But you'll be 70 years old, you know, very old. There will be 30 year old fresh people. There will be another world here. This is our world that we are supposed to read now. It's only our world we can reach in our time. I'm telling you, another world is good. They have already been born. The other world have already been born and they are just coming up. I'm not waiting for you as you keep planning later on this, later on that. Come on, shoot. Now don't talk too much. See the guys in the Bible school, they are my heroes. I know great things are going to come out of those guys for years. They have been in the school for years. And the Bible says in all labour there is profit. Bible says whatsoever a man's souls he shall reap. It will. It will never be in vain. It cannot be in vain. Give himself full time to something. Oh, Charlie, those of you who are here at the camp, it's not for nothing. As you hear. You see that? I see something. It's like a it's not a hook, a single hook. It's like about 3 or 4 hooks holding you here like that. It's like calling you. It's pulling you. You can't do anything again in this world. You can't only work for God, you know? Yeah. And I say you can't do anything again in this world. You can only work for God. Shama Kabayaba and some of you, When you don't follow and serve the Lord with gladness, you will serve an enemy of your soul. You will bow to an enemy. Yeah, you will bow to an enemy. You will be surprised. Messy. It's our time. It's our time to believe. It's our time to love and live. There was a time we received. Titus now. It's time. For please complete it. Standing hand in hand together, let's reach out and touch our world. Can you hear the Spirit calling? You hear the Spirit calling? It's my time. Ladies hear the Spirit calling more than men. Yeah, ladies hear it more, all ladies hear the spirit calling, brothers hear money calling more, but none of these things move me. Amen. OK, OK #14 all good works we have begun must be completed. That's the next reason. Philippines Chapter 1, Verse 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he who had begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Every good thing we have started must be completed. Have we started the Bible school? It must be completed. Have you started working in the Bible school? It must be completed. Have you started the ministry? It must be completed. He who began a good work in you, He who began a good work. Is there a song like that? Can you sing it? He who we got a good word.

OK, Have you have you learned the song now can you sing it? If you say, I'll call you to sing alone, without welcome, without piano, without anything. So learn it. Very welcome.

OK, ready. Go. He'll be faithful to completed. He'll be fat, all right. How many agree that the good work that has begun in you is going to be completed? I see it in the name of Jesus, I said. I see it in the name of Jesus. He who began a good work in you, he's going to bring you to a completed Eric, stand up Lumumbashi. He who began a good work, he's going to bring it to a completion. God, I started something good there. Yeah, he's going to. He's going to finish it. The beauty of the work is going to come out when you finish it, but before you finish it, almost all through your life you will not see the beauty of what you are doing. At the end, when you get into the finishing side of that work, you see, oh South Africa, what God has begun. May God finish it all. May we finish what we have started here. How many would like to see it finished? Everywhere you go, you see somebody. So I'm born again. I I go to Lighthouse Chapel. I gave my, I was in my house and people came there. They told me about Jesus and I gave my life to Jesus and I'm here. I'm here. Thank God I was a Sinner. I should have been dead. I should have been singing in my grave, but God spared me because Pastor Penny came there. My God, Pastor Godwin came there. Talk to me. Wow. When we hear these testimonies from Soweto to Mafiqui, anywhere far away, we don't want to drive in South Africa. We don't see the Signboard Lighthouse Chapel. We are not shy of smoke. There is no shame about the Smorchers. There is no shame. You may scream. How many would you mind being a pastor of? 20 people? Would you love it? How many would love it? Oh, say I love it, I love it. 20 people that you are saving. Ask Noah what it means to be a pastor of serving people. Save serving people. Three, you know, himself included in the church, three sons, 3 wives and himself and his wife Noah. I had a wife, so they were 8. Wow. I'm sure Noah was singing he when he was kneeling. Go to your old key, be active so that we don't choose a new key. Otherwise we will choose different keys. Come on. No, I was shuffling them. This the song he was singing, He was cutting the wood. Then his nails were finished, he went to collect some nails and he was singing. Come on. Then he went for some wood. The wind was too long, so he decided to cut it and he started singing. Come on. Upstairs. So he went and collected from outside. He said come and help me to carry. And he asked. You were carrying, you were singing. Come on. No, he wanted to catch some monkeys. He decided to start with the easier animals. He left the Lions and those big guys, so he decided to win some monkeys. So he said to his brother, Brother, let's go. We are going to catch some monkeys, so come on. The. And elephants. They are finished with monkeys. Next. How are we going to cut the elephant, Alice? Come on, Castle Elephant. Bring the elephant here, bring the elephant, Bring the elephant on stage. Come on. You see, every day he thought he had finished and he realized that there was monkey. He didn't have monkeys, he didn't have snakes, he didn't have lion. Now lions, the king of the forest. Because if you if you catch all the animals and you don't catch a lion, how can you say you have finished your work? You have a snake. You have a monkey. You need a tiger. The. The now he needed a welder, a welder to make the lock so that he can lock the door so that when the race starts and a lot of people want to come in, he can keep the people out so he's not going to Wells. The. This. The. That is how our work here is every time when you reach her, you realize Charlie, I don't have a lion. I don't have a tiger. No giraffe. We have to break a hole in the roof because it was too short. So we are going to break the roof. We are going to break the roof so that the giraffes head can go. Come on. The. The For now, we are ready, Paul said. I've finished. One day. You must also say I've finished. I've finished. You know, it's possible to say I've finished. It's possible. It's not. It's not only I've not finished, it's possible to say I've finished. It's possible. And one day you should say, I've finished, I'm finished. It's possible to say I'm finished. Amen. Sit down. OK, all right, all right, all right. Now #15 pray to Jesus for the grace to finish because he is the beginner and also the finisher. So the point here is that Jesus is not only a beginner of ministries but a finisher because Hebrews chapter 12 verse 2 says He is the author and the finisher of our faith. Looking unto Jesus, Hebrews 12 verse two, who is the author and the finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is sat down at the right hand of the throne of God, Amen. So we must finish because the one we are serving is not only a starter of things, but is the finisher of things that he has started. So whatever we have, whatever you have, you are a starter. God. The God you are serving is a beginner and also a finisher of the faith #16 you must be like David, King David who? That's the next reason why you must finish who completed all aspects of what God had called him to do. In Acts chapter 13, verse 22, Bible says when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king, to whom also he gave testimony and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, which shall fulfill all my will, all my will. Acts 13, verse 22. Acts 13. Acts 13, verse 22. I found David. Oh, I found who? What's your name? I found what? What's your name? I found who? I found who, who shall fulfill all my will. He will not fulfill part of my will. He will not fulfill 70% of my will. He will not fulfill 50% of my will, but he will fulfill all my will. May God say about you. I found you. Wow. I found your name and I found somebody who's going to fulfill all my will. So whatever you're doing in Port Elizabeth, finish all so that God will say I found Daniel, I found Della. We shall fulfill all my will. Is it powerful? How many know that there are different aspects of the will of God? Yeah. You must fulfill all aspects of the will of God. Amen. All right. The next reason why a very important reason why we must finish is because it is God who has put it into our hearts to finish. It's something that God is doing in our church. God has put it in our hearts to finish. God has put it in our hearts. How many realize that God is putting it in your hearts? How many realize that God is putting it in your hearts? Yeah. You see, God put it in my heart to finish. He started to tell me about finishing. He started to talk to me about finishing. So for some time now, it's always finished. Finish what you started. Finish. Finish what you started. You have to finish the things you started. So God put it in my heart about South Africa. I saw that South Africa was a great work that we have begun here. God put it in my heart. A look, it's nowhere near completed. You have to finish what has been started in South Africa. We have to finish what we started in all these different countries. This is not the end, this is not even the middle. It's less than 10% of what God wants to do in our time. I'm not talking about the future, eternity, one day, some other people. I'm talking about you and me whilst we are fresh here. Revelation chapter 17. What does Revelation chapter 17 verse 17 say? For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will. That's why we must be. Because it's not. It's not even something we are dreaming about. You can sense that God is putting it in our hearts to finish something. How many can realize that the Spirit of God is putting it in our hearts, making us understanding that you need to finish, you need to finish. Amen. Wow, how many agree that God is putting it in your heart, Powerful. The next one. So that we we must finish, so that we can please God, bring God joy to the uttermost, so that we can bring God the highest kind of joy, Amen. We must bring God the highest kind of joy, Amen. What do you think? How many know there's something like the highest kind of joy? Philippians Tutu fulfill ye my joy fulfill. You can fulfill the joy. You can let joy be complete, or you can let joy be half. Isn't it in sexual pleasure when joy is complete? Sexual joy is complete. I'm talking about those who understand what I'm talking about. Those who are married. If you are not married, say I don't understand it, so don't, don't even listen to what I'm saying. After you are married, they come for the tape. You can have maximum pleasure, but you can also just have an experience. Amen. And many ladies don't have the ultimate joy they have, I mean some 10% small percentage of experience, they don't have the full joy or the fullness of pleasure. It's just something that they are allowed to happen. You keep looking at me, I don't understand what I'm talking about. So I'm trying to explain When it says fulfill my joy, it's like you are having it's sexual pleasure, but it's not fool. It's some percentage. Yeah, you enjoy it up to a point. Some people even know I enjoyed that one. The one lady went to come, she got they got married. He said, is this what people have been doing? Is this, is this it? Is this it? And I we are spent with this is it? Kiona. Kiona, What does it mean? Does it Kiona? Is this it? Does it Kiona? A book says only 40% of women experience full joy. I mean, all have experienced it before. Not that they experience have experienced it before. Yeah. So that's why they don't like it when they have nothing to gain from it. Yeah. And when they are trying to get something and they like it. So God is also saying, yes, you are bringing me joy, but not full joy. And God is not fulfilled. God doesn't get to the orgasmic levels of joy when He sees you when you have not, you have not fulfilled. What do you think? How many understand it? Clearly you are giving him joy but some minimal experience when he sees you. This is not. Yeah, a certain lady. Should I tell there are children here? OK, those who are not married, close your ears now you can still hear. Are you there? God wants maximum joy. When God looks at me, there is a sudden maximum joy He can get out of me. I can make him happy to a certain ecstatic level. Now God can always look at me and say mercy. So when God sees you, does he guess what? Oh, he just looked at you and said is that all? Have you finished? Where is the rest of it? Do you claim to have finished? So South Africa, God is looking at you and say is that all? Have you finished? A certain lady, she was sleeping with somebody. When he finished, she asked him, is that all? Brothers, if they ask you, is that all? Is that all? Have you finished just now? Is that, is that all? So listen, that's what God is asking. South Africa, is that all? Is that all 37 churches you finished already? Have you finished? Are you getting up and going just now? Have you finished in Mozambique already? Just now? Just now. Hey, finish that. All you can do, God is saying. I remember one of my servants whom I sent here, this is what he was able to do. A certain lady, she started to climb the wall and go and find other people because she could remember others. Jack Toronto used to do more for me. Jack Toronto needs to lose you more. He used to work longer. Fulfill my joy. Fulfill God's joy. God have a joy up to a point. You can make the joy maximum, but you can make God know that you just existed, but that's all. Nothing much. There's nothing much about you. That's nothing much. Just start something, something misery. Is that all? Oh, oh, there's all that you can do. But my old guy, he could. He could. He could really do a lot. He could stay for hours. Just now, Kabu as good as nothing. Is that what you want God to say to us? God was getting excited when Pastor Kingsley was here and he was getting excited when Pastor Clufio was here. Is he going to get discouraged when he sees Pastor Jake and the rest of you here and just just his joy that was climbing? Is that all now? It shouldn't be. We have to take this thing to the end. How many are ready to take you to the end? Are you ready to take you to the end? Amen. How many understand what I'm saying? I want you to understand what I'm preaching. If you understand it, then I've achieved what I'm trying to. You don't understand it. There's no point in me preaching. You don't understand. I want you to understand it. Amen. Are you ready? OK, Good. Good. Next one. How many do you have? There's a 19. Wow, there's nineteen. OK, you must go. The next reason why you must fulfill is that you must go to the Ultimates and to the end, the maximum of whatever type of ministry you have received, whether it is Apostolic, pastoral, evangelistic, teaching, or prophetic, you must go to the end, the ultimate conclusion of your kind of ministry. Amen. So if you are a pastor, you must take the pastoring to the conclusion, to the logical conclusion. But many of us are taking the pastoral ministry. We are not taking it to the end. And that's what I tell many lay pastors, that the end of The thing is full time. If you are taking it to the logical conclusion, yes, that's one of the conclusions, but you can be a better pastor than you are. And in Colossians chapter 4, the 17, he says to Archipus, take heed to the ministry which you have received from the Lord, that thou fulfill it. Take it carefully, attend to the type of ministry that you've received and make sure you fulfill it. Make sure you go to the end. Make sure you fulfill pastoral work. Maximize, understand it, master it. Take it to the highest level that you can possibly. Take pastoral work to maximize pastoral work till there is no pastor like you. You must be the best pastor in South Africa. You might be the highest kind of pastor in South Africa. Wherever you are, whatever type, to the highest. As I'm doing evangelistic crusades, I'm not trying to be just an ordinary evangelist. I'm trying to take it to the fullest ultimate that I can. Take evangelism to any possible extent that I can drive evangelism to. I'm trying to do that. What do you think? Is it a good idea? Yeah. That's why the church that I've founded, I'm not just want to be a founder of a church, but I want to be see the church can be handed over and handed over. And if I can see the church be handed over three times, the three difference all the time and it's still working, I think I'll be happy. But even just handing over from myself to somebody, it's not enough. You have to see the egg keeps passing. Your child can go here, can go here, can go here. So the child is still OK. Nobody can easily kill the child. Then you see that the child is strong. The child is mature. Yeah. So I don't want to just be a farmer. So I'm a founder of a church. What type of church? That's why I'm doing all the things that I'm doing. I'm trying my best to take it to the I don't want to just start a chair. I want to start a chair that will be here if Jesus hasn't come for the next 100 years. I pray the Lighthouse will be a strong church still in South Africa or Malawi or wherever it is. Amen. Is it a powerful thing? So what is your calling? You call yourself a shepherd. What is the maximum we can take shepherd in work to? I've written a new book called Act of Shepherd In what is the highest level you can take the thing to let's take it to the left, like singing. If you are singing, what's the highest level? Fulfill Archipus, fulfill your ministry. Don't just go 10% of pastoral work, 10% of evangelistic, 10% of Apostolic time. Go to the end if you go and start something. So if persecution is going to Ethiopia, you have to start churches live and by the time you are there, you have to see that something that cannot easily be removed out of Ethiopia, something that can stand neck to neck with the Orthodox Church in Ethiopia. Now we all see that, yes, an apostle came here and he lived here for some years. What do you think? Is it a powerful thing? Yeah, There was a man who came to Nigeria in 1955, a white man in America and he came to start the Four Square Gospel Church and he stayed there for 11 years. Today I've been invited to the Four Square pastors. They have thousands of pastors in Nigeria. I've been there several times. His eleven years of work has left something that cannot easily be removed out of that country. That's how you have to think. You take it to the end. I'm sure that man is dead by now. 11 years of work in Nigeria from 1955 to 1966. He has left something real that you can't easily move away. So what? Are you going to live in Kenya one day? What about you? Are you taking it to the end maximum, the highest possible level? I just want to be, I want to be a sweeper in the House of the Lord. I want to be a cleaner. I want to just be average. I don't want to just be average. I want to fulfil. I want to go to the highest. I want to have the best. I want to take it to the conclusion that it can exist. You have a church. You have to desire to have a building. There must be a check building with a church, office, church, Sunday school, children's church, international speakers, coming and going with other speakers, conventions, programs, camps. What are the possibilities in the field that you are working? What are the possibilities? Take it to the end. What do you think? That's why I always go to Korea. I invite all of you to come to Korea. I go to Korea to see the maximum ultimate possibility of a church this year. God, William, I'm going again. I mean, you see a church. The man is 70 something years old. He meets in the Olympic Stadium with his shepherds on a Monday morning, Tuesday morning, in the morning. That's causes shepherds, the Olympic, that might the biggest stadium that you can have for the Olympics, the big one, the Olympic Stadium. You see the science Olympic Stadium this way. Olympic Stadium. When you are in Seoul, Korea, you see the science Olympic Stadium, Olympic Stadium, Olympic Stadium. All the science are in Korea, but that one is Korean and small English. Olympic Stadium this way. That's why I mean shepherds. The whole place is full. I mean, we are talking of ultimate pastoral work. He has been a pastor for so many years. He has handed over his church and he just invites us. And of course, come fellowship at the stadium, come in the morning every year. You think that the church will get filled. I mean, just looking at the ultimate levels of pastoral work, what else can you do? So every type of ministry has its ultimate. If a doctor, you can take it far, you can become a private this, you can have the hospital, you can do this, this, this this. You can have this you can do in the field. You can be a certain level and God is saying to you tell Achipos that he better fulfill his music. Take the thing to the end. So what can you do in Swaziland? You must have your building, church, children's church, offices this, branches, branch pastors, branch buildings this and that, whatever. What can you do? Take it to the end. Don't just citizen, we have been sent here to come and do something for God. What do you mean by that? Are you dull? Ask your neighbor, are you dull? Are you are alive? What did he say? Alive. There's a church called Alive Chapel. Amen. All right, Grace, come sing one song for us. Next 1 #20 because I'm determined to finish this thing today. And then after that we close. All right, All right, All right. The next one you must ensure you must finish because you must finish delivering your message. You must finish delivering the message. Sometimes when you start preaching, you don't finish delivering your whole message. Amen. The message of loyalty must be fully delivered. We can't deliver it halfway. And that's why in Colossians chapter one, verse 25, Paul said, whereof I am made a minister according to the disposition of God, which is given to me for you to fulfill the word of God, to fulfill the word of God, to fulfill the Word, I must complete the word of God. Jesus said, I have finished, I have given them the words that thou gavest me. Amen. There is a message that Lighthouse Chapel is bringing. We must fulfill it. We can't give it halfway. People will not understand what we are saying. Some people think that loyalty, when you are loyal in the church, we are all afraid. I it's almost, I hear the Bishop is very hard. Whatever, if you do this, this will happen. If you do, people come to the church and say, ah, what are you talking about? You don't understand what they are saying. The people, a lot of the people, they rather love him. They rather, there's nothing like fear or whatever. You don't understand. So they don't understood the message. They just sit outside and say, hey, that church, loyalty, loyalty, church, you need to look a little closer. You need to hear it better. I met an old friend today in a cafe on the hill. To see him after all these years, how did not seem strange. We laughed and reminisced about the life we used. To. Live, but I could tell at least with him, nothing but your change. An invitation to a party was only had to offer everyone will be there and over hiding. So as he checked the time and he paid the check, he said we're all up here but I could tell the one he was talking to. This is a song of a girl who met her boyfriend, her old boyfriend, and she realized that he hadn't changed. All he was doing was inviting her to parties and so on. As she was looking at him and he was talking to her. So you realize that nothing much had changed. All he could talk about inviting to a party. So he wanted to tell the guy, look a little closer and you can see that I've changed, that God has done something in my life. You need God look a little closer. Hallelujah. How many want the unbeliever to look a little closer and see that there's a difference in your life? Come on, sing it again. I met an old friend today in a cafe over here. See my to roll. These years somehow did not seem strange. We laughed and reminisced about the life we used to lead, but I could tell, at least with him, nothing much had changed. An invitation to a party was all he had to offer. Everyone will be there and nor the high lead in vain. So I see check the time and he paid the check. He said we're all up here in. But I could tell the one he was talking to was the old me and as he looked a little closer, little closer. Can't you see that I have changed? I'm not the girl I used to be. My life has rearranged. Come on and look a little closer. Look closer. I'm not the girl I used to be. I gave my heart to Jesus and He gave a brand new life to me. Wow come on, give a lot of clap offering. As we began to leave the table and we started toward the door, in my heart there was a staring and I knew there was something more in his eyes. There was an emptiness that only Jesus can feel. It reminded me of how I used to be before I accepted him. After an awkward moment, he broke the silence and he said, I heard about a Savior. Or was. It something that I read, but I don't need religion. There's nothing to wait anyway. I asked him if he wouldn't mind if we. If. We took time to pray. Lord, help him look a little closer. Look closer. Help him feel your loving touch. Remove the blindness and change his heart. Surround him with your love. Lord, help him look a little closer. Look closer. Another girl I used to be. Do for him what you've done for me. Lord, set my brother free, set him free. Would you do that for me? Jesus set my brother free, won't you set him free? Jesus, please set him free, boy. Again, Jesus makes the dear friends. He is everything you need. Lord, help me Look a little closer. Look closer. Can't you see that I have changed? I'm not the girl I used to be. My life has rearranged. Come on and look a little closer. Look closer. I'm not the girl I used to be. I gave my heart to Jesus and He gave a breath. You lie to me no closer. Help Him feel your love in touch. Remove the blindness and change his heart. Surround him with your love. Lord, help him look a little closer, no closer. I'm not a girl I used to be. Give my heart to Jesus and He gave brand new light to me. Jesus sent me through and He Lord his boy. Yes. The. If not in you, I will love it. Will they ever find the one who really cares? If not for you, how will they find there's one who he is? The broken heart heals, the cat is. Real, all right #21 #20 no, I'll give you 20 already. 21 Some of the missions God has given us, they are to fulfill all righteousness. We have to finish our work because we need to fulfill all righteousness. Some things you are not doing them because you need to finish anything great, but just to complete a certain protocol. Amen. How many have not been baptized in water? You messed in water since you were born. Again, raise your hand, Raise your hand. You need to be baptized, not just because it does anything to you, but because you have to fulfill all righteousness, Amen. You need to do certain things so that you fulfill all righteousness. So sometimes God is asking us to do certain things, not because it's doing anything special, but because it's necessary to happen. Like you have to be ordained. You have to become a pastor. You have to be a shepherd, you have to preach, you have to do the work just to fulfill certain laws that are fulfilled. Amen. Sometimes when I send people, what am I sending somebody? I say, look, the reason why I'm sending you is because it's not because you need, you are even going to do something there, but it's to fulfill certain righteousness because I said one day you need to be in a particular position and you need to speak. But if you haven't gone to this place before, you cannot say what you need to say. All this theory, you understand? Yeah. Like, you don't want to make you a commander in the Army. You've never been to war before. You've never been to military training school before. Do you get it? So you realize that there are some things you need to do, not so that you do any particular thing or anything would change, but but so that you have some experience. And some of us really need to fulfill certain things in our lives. We need to fulfill certain writers. Some of us, our tides are not going to make any difference to the church. But you need to do it so that you fulfill the righteousness of being committed. And you don't steal 10%. How can you steal 10% and be an honest pastor? I mean that you need to be a real good hypocrite to some of you, maybe you may be students or you don't have much money, but the 10% is necessary to fulfill something. You see, I never knew that when I finished school I would just work for one year and I'll go into ministry. But throughout my student life, from a certain point, God revealed to me what is tithe and I started to pay tights. And I remember one time I was living in London for a year. That is where I knew what survival was. But I had to learn how to pay tights. My pasta wore shoes with alligator skin snakeskin shoes. The most expensive 1 shoe is $1000 and I was paying my tie. Every time I paid my ties it means I wouldn't eat because I was not employed and I had amount was I think 20 lbs when I took off the tie and then my bus pass of 12 hours left with 5 lbs like that and I could buy one meal a day for five days or six days but remaining one day every week I paid my tithes. First thing I paid my tithes and then I lived off the rest without being able to eat for one day. It was something that God wanted me to experience because one day I'll be a pastor and I'll be encouraging people to pay tithes. But if I myself have not paid tithes before, not that those 2 lbs was making any difference to my pastor who was driving a Rolls Royce Jaguar with $1000 snake shoes and alligator. Any animal that is he wore it. He wore it was very animals to walk on the on the road. How much different do you think the 2 lbs made to that church? They used to they used to They announced their their target 5000 lbs a week offering and 5000 members. It was their goal 5000 lbs a week, 5000 members five. That is our vision. They announced openly that was a prosperity oriented church fully my 2 lbs. I don't make anything to the 5000 lbs. A week that they were raking in. In those days with Jaguars days that that the people come ministers from America. It was not a small ministry. It was the top ministry in the UK at that time. But God trained me with my 2 lbs. I was faith. Today I direct millions of dollars in the church. If I want to steal, I can steal it. You wouldn't even know I was standing here on the TV. You will not even know. How would you know? How will you know when, When you control a lot of money? You can steal too. You cannot easily know. So I mean, God has allowed me to see a lot of money that I have there. I can control it, I can set it. You go here, you go here. You should go here. I see there's some things that have to be proving me. And it cost only 2 lbs, but it cost me a certain something. I felt it. Some of you, when you see with your 20 rounds, you don't pay offering, you don't pay tithes, tithes. You just mulliganize and bring some figure. You bring a figure to the church and you say it's your tithe. It's not your tithe at all. How do you think God can promote you today? Look at me, I can drive any car that I want, but I don't drive it. I drive the old car that I've been doing for the last seven years. It doesn't mean anything, but now I can. What is the name of the car? I can have it. I'll send a text and the car will start coming. You you can only look at it in the glass and be praying and claiming. You can be claiming and naming window shopping. So Internet shopping without the ability to buy? I see. Why would God give you authority when He has not tested you and He has to test you? He has to be tested even with the women. Will you sleep with the women in the church? Because when you are a pastor, the women can throw themselves on you and will do anything that you say. Will you sleep with them? Will you mishandle them before you give you such control and power and authority? What will you do and have such powers? That's what happened to Eli Sons. They were misusing the money and they were misusing the women. I see some of you small protocol. God is expecting you. Oh, I just was, I was just trying to test you with this one year something, this situation that you were there. I was just trying to analyze you and see how I could lift you to the next level and that one became a problem. My wife went on Sunday, my wife went to a program. She came back to tell me hello, a pastor came there. He said that he came to he was he was asked to speak. She said he told a story that was amazing. He said that the pastor got up and said he was a poor pastor from Ghana. I had gone to preach. I'm sure I'll be missing some details of the story, but it was like something like that. He went to preach and he went to preach somewhere and the pastor gave him $1500. And then he went to this other church where he was speaking, a small church, and the prophet came there. The prophet said there is somebody here, you come from Guyana. He said Guyana, so maybe it was from Ghana, Guyana, Ghana. Then he mentioned his name. He said I think your name is Aubane, what's up? And you have $1500 now in your pocket. And he said that it was all that he had. He had borrowed money from Ghana from somebody to buy a ticket to come to America. We had borrowed 1500 and that 1500 is exactly what he was going to pay and he didn't have any money. And the man said God wants to bless you and he wants you to bring the 1500 that is in your pocket to give it to God. Anyways, that's about to go back to Ghana and he said the money was so precious to him, that is why he had not left it in the house and he had put it in his pocket and brought it to the church. And the prophet was saying that the money is in your pocket now and you are starting sitting here. Now it's exactly 1500 and you are from Ghana or Ghana and your name, your name is Obey. He said Charlie, he was sitting there, is he? God was trying to test him. He said he could not believe it but the way it was, he could not escape. And I think he didn't go for it. And I think the next day he went and he brought them. I said, look, I cannot keep it to me and I'm going to go back home without the money to pay for them, whatever. So he packed his bags and left for Ghana. He said as he was checking in at the airports, he was going, a lady came up to him and said, are you such and such? She said, look, I had whatever God spoke to me, He said that you're from Canada or whatever God spoke to me. It wasn't even related to that service that there is somebody from Ghana and I should go to the airport or so and I'll meet the person. And when I went, I used such as, yeah, the past. I'm going this year. He said God told me I used to be a mission with my husband, He's dead and I have something savings and God told me to give it to you. I forgot how she got to meet the person he was checking. He was going with penniless because I should give you this envelope. He said wow, the man who had been called to come and give the 1500. So he took them himself. God bless you. So he took the envelope, small envelope and he opened it. He was going when he opened the envelope, 1002 thousand, 3004 thousand, 5006 thousand 10,000 20,025 thousand 30 thousand $40,000 in the envelope. The woman disappeared. He never saw the man again. 40,000 U.S. dollars. He could not believe it. He said I won't travel again. He collected his backs back, back because he had nothing he was going with. He went instruments. Now he yeah, he was going back to and he didn't have any money to pay that debt in return. He said nothing. Anytime he's discouraged, he remembers that thing. I see that God is real. They call his name and the amount of mind that he had in his pocket and told him that this is. And God wants to bless you. And this woman came at the airport. Yeah. And gave him the mindset. I was a mystery in Africa many years ago. My husband is dead and I have this savings. And God told me to give it to you. I brought it to you. Some of the things that you are doing is not because you are going to help somebody's ministry with 1500, that is to fulfill maybe the law that you should sow so that you should reap because without sowing you cannot reap. So when we look at our lives and realize that even that law to be responsible so that you don't still got 20 Rand or 30 Rand or $20.00 or $30, you cannot be in charge of a church. And if you are a pastor and you don't pay that, we will suck you. Nobody's allowed to be a pastor of this year who doesn't pay tights and lay pastor. If you don't pay tights, you cannot be a pastor in Lighthouse. We will. And we check pastor's tights. If you don't pay tights, you can because it means you will not tell the people to pay their tithe. You cannot have a different opinion on this matter. I hope it is clear how many agree with me. Yeah. So some of the things God is asking you to do, it's not about you. Now, something you are going to give somebody 2 lbs. It doesn't change the pastor's, it doesn't change the pastor's destiny. When you pay your tithe, your tithe will not change my destiny. Your tithe does not affect my life. Your tithe does not change my future. Get it into your head and doesn't change anybody's future. It changes your life. And so when Jesus went to be baptized in the river, it was not because he was a Sinner, it was to fulfill some protocols, some things that have to be fulfilled. That's all just it should be done one day When I became a Bishop, a Bishop is somebody who overseas churches. So when I became a Bishop, I announced to a church, I'm a Bishop from now on Bishop. That's the way I became a pastor. I did the same one for the a Bishop called me and told me he said what you did is not the right way. It is true this, this, this, but it's not there. He talked for a long time. I said. I said no, you have to do the right way. You must be ordained or consecrated as a Bishop. It was just because he was talking a lot. I decided to just do what he said. When the experienced people are talking, be careful. Not because I was not a Bishop, because I was overseeing about 100 churches. I was a Bishop that there are some things to be done in a particular way. And because I did it, later on, as the ministry went on, I realized I now needed to consecrate some other people as bishops. But because I have done it and I subjected myself to that ceremony, now I have the authority to also conduct such a ceremony and make the office of a Bishop something clear and defined. But if I had not done that protocol, John Wesley, he was challenged one day when he was preaching, who made you a preacher? How can you get up and say this thing? He said I was ordained by the Archbishop of Canterbury, hungry, conscious. I'm ordained, so that's why I'm speaking. And the man kept quiet. Jesus was telling who gave you authority? He said John the Baptist. I was baptized to the ministry by John the Baptist. Do you believe in him? They couldn't answer. So sometimes it's not about anything. Sometimes God tempts you with your Father not to just see how you respond so as to keep you from that same thing one day because you are about to make a mistake also and He's going to cover you. But when you don't behave in a certain way because you struck, He has raised 7 hands to come and strike you down also. Are you listening? How many understand what I'm talking about? So there are some things. You have to finish the protocol, you have to become a pastor, become ordained, do everything, finish the schools, finish the one pastor. We were saying to the school, why should I do exam? Why should I do exam? How do you mean? You don't want to do exam? Go to another church where they don't do exam. Foolish boy, stupid. Don't want to do exam, Go to a church where they don't do it here. We do exams. We do exams here. This is what we do here. Don't like it? Get out. That's how our churches, one guy he was saying one check that we've joined every day exam this and that he was a pastor. So he came for an exam and they asked him, what is John 16 verse 24? No, he they asked him very, very, I say unto you something, something, and he answered is in Romans something, something, a pastor. When they ask you, Verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever I shall do that, you say in Romans, is it not Jesus who said, verily, verily, I say unto you, how can it be in romance? And you are you are criticizing our exam. Some of the things is not because you are ignorant. That is a protocol that you are supposed to fulfill. Humbly, humbly, go through it. Whenever you meet somebody who is not prepared to bend and accept, to go through the systems, that presence is an evil person. Watch that person. Careful. You've joined the chest. You don't want to do the things that are being done in the chest. You want a special route because you feel that you are big. Who do you think you are tomorrow? If you don't like certain things, don't come, because tomorrow I am. I'm going to war. You see, to win the war, you must, you must become war. Yeah, so I'm just telling you, those of you who complain about things you don't understand, some of them I agree. They are laborious. They are useless. What is the use of going into water? You come out with clothes and underwear and everything is wet and your nice hair that you've done the ladies. What is that you? I agree, but that's what is being done and Jesus said let it be done so that I can complete the righteous behaviour that I have to complete. But sometimes somebody's doing something because he has to complete certain things. Yes. So allow yourself to go through, be humble and flow. If there is exam, do it. If there's a school, you must go do it. Whatever you have to do, do it so that you flow in the system. Amen. That's one of the reasons why we must finish. We must finish so that we can fulfill all righteousness. All righteousness. Amen. Tell your neighbor the man knows about you. OK, We are ending. How many do you have? Wow. Mercy 22 So that you will not be rejected by God. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I wish that thou were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Amen. Now if you don't like hot food, you will not understand this. Best food that is not hot is for somebody who likes hot food, like me, Warm food is not acceptable. I don't eat warm food. I don't like warm food. I like food either hot or cold, and if it is warm, I don't eat it. And I'm entitled to my, what do you call it, culinary preference. At my age, I'm entitled to my culinary preferences. When you are a child, you eat what you are given. I reach a place you say I will eat again. Now how many of you like hot food? Warm food, cold food? Those who like hot, raise your hand. Hot, hot, hot, hot. I was a hot, not not pepper hot. I mean fire hot. Raise your hand if you like hot, put your hand who like warm, put it down, who like cold, who don't mind anything at all. Very good. So those of you who like warm food, you will not understand this vest. You never understand this vest. Yeah, you will never understand it. It's difficult to understand this vest. And sometimes people will say you are difficult to feed. Somebody say you are difficult to feed because you like it hot. When I see food and they fight, the steam is not coming out of it. Look at this food and say because I'm a doctor, I've seen flies. You know, what are the things that flies like is feces. You try it out when they go to out when there's no toilet and find a place there and do your best there and turn around and look at it. Within one minute it will be covered with flies. I'm giving you that assignment. You go and do it from that day. You fear flies when you see a family coming to sit on the where have you been before you came here? But flies will not easily sit on steamy hot food. So that way you see that he's just been lying there, flies in the kitchen, hey, moving, sitting, going up this and up. But he can also kill James. So somebody who said that God said because we are not high, the hot or cold, I reject it. You were heating and you heat that small when I'm going to eat and they heat the food afterwards. I don't like it because you didn't finish heating it. Finish what you started. Are you staring up a fire in South Africa? Finish it. Don't do half because you are lukewarm, half heated. God says I reject the South African work messy because it's half hot. But those of you who like warm food, you don't understand this place. So you, you're right by it to be understood with time, if you like warm food to be understood with time. Amen. How many things I've got is difficult to feed because he doesn't like hot or cool. He doesn't like lukewarm. Is he difficult to feed? Now he knows what he wants. He's specific. If it's rather easier to feed him because he just hits the tail, that's all I want it hot. Some people, they don't know what they want. I'm at 23. Finish what you started so that you'll be ready to die. How many are ready to die tonight? Only one brother at the back. Mercy Finish. Yeah. Second Timothy, Chapter 4, verse 6. I am now ready to be offered. Amen. And the time of my departure is at hand. Why? Because I have finished my course. I'm finished. So I'm ready to die. Are you ready to die? Hey, you are ready. Are you ready to die? How many feel you are not yet ready? How many are not ready? Father, we pray for all those of us who are not ready for more time. Please give us a few more days, a few more weeks, a few more years so that we will be able to join Paul and say I'm ready now because I've finished my course in Jesus name, Amen. And finally, so that you can occupy your room in the ministry. Amen, Amen. Wow, Elijah. Elijah had two sevens, the first one, and Elijah went to eat was dealing with Ahab in its first Kings chapter 18, verse 41. He said, get thee up and eat and drink, for there is a sound of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of the camel, and he cast himself down on the earth and put his feet, face between his knees. And he said to his servants, go up now and look toward the sea. And he went up and looked at his saw and said, there is nothing. Go again seven times. This servant, Elijah's servant, is the one who saw Elijah doing all these powerful miracles, but he did not stay with Elijah to the end. He never entered the ministry. He never occupied his place because he didn't stay with Elijah to the end. May you stay to the end so that you can occupy your place in the ministry. In Jesus name, let's stand to our feet. I 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 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 to when I came to Jesus. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
