11. 7 Foundations - Loyalty

Welcome to track #11 of mighty foundations. Father, thank you for your blessing in Jesus name. Amen. Right, right, all right. Can I have a chair please? Thank you. OK, good, good. Why loyalty is important as a foundation? All right #1 loyalty all right in First Corinthians. Do you have your loyalty book? First Corinthians chapter 4, verse 2. What does it say? It is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. Now in every car there are things you can do without. How many would agree with me? Some cars have CD players, some cars have video players. Some cars have air conditioners. Some cars have what else, navigation systems? Some cars have what? Fridges? Some cars have MP3 players. OK, but how many would agree that you can do without a fridge in a car? How many agree you can do without the phone? Inbuilt phone? How many agree that you can do without the MP3 player? How many agree you can do without the video player? So it means all these things are not essential for the car. How many agree you can do without the air conditioner? Most cars in Europe, do. They have air conditioners now, these days, the newer ones have. But that says we're not putting air conditioners in the cars at all. At all. What? But there are some things you cannot do without. You cannot do without your tires. You cannot do without your wipers. Yeah. I never thought a wiper, windscreen wiper was essential. So I took my car one day to Kumasi and I was coming back from Kumasi and there was a rainstorm. And then I wish we were there's it goes whether it stops and we will drive like this. And then the road is narrow, 1 coming, 1 going. As soon as the windscreen wiper goes off, the whole windscreen is flooded with water. You can't see and you are just in the middle of that driving. You can just go like this and meet a huge truck. I saw that it was the most dangerous thing. That's when I realized how important it is for you to have essential wipers, lights, lights, but not an MP3 player. How do you CD player? When I when I travel to crusades, I have meetings in my car. I would drive. The drive takes sometimes 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours. Where we are going for a crusade now, we'll take about easily 12 hours together. I have meetings. I don't play even one song in the car. It was after some time I realized that we don't play music when we are travelling because I have meetings. All the meetings that I cannot do in my office, I do it in my car. If I need to meet with somebody, the person has to be in the car and talk because there's no time. Do you see? You don't understand what I'm saying? Hey, so music player is not essential. Now the Bible says it is required. And as to it that a man be found faithful, Amen. So that's the main quality that I want. Not that it's required that a man should be anointed or a man should be able to sing. What about if I Can't Sing like Bishop Saki? What about if you can't dance? One day I was dancing. One of my church members was laughing at She said oh you, you are a white man, you cannot dance. Who was so discouraged. Since that they have stopped dancing in the church. From that day I became afraid of dancing in the church. So what I'm trying to say is that it's true, OK, I can't dance, OK, I Can't Sing, OK, I'm not so friendly. All those things are not essential for my calling. So when I see you, it's not essential that you must be a Ghanaian or you must be a South African or you must be white or you must be black or Nigerian or whatever. All I want that you be faithful. Look, one of my greatest desires that I will have more pastors from other countries. Yeah. It makes me so happy that I have pastors who this place is not is not from Ghana or it's a pastor. It's one of the things I like. I feel it's one of my greatest achievements. I've crossed boundaries. Yeah, because being from Ghana or from here or there is not essential. What is essential? If I can find you with faithfulness life when I'm going with you, then suddenly say, oh, that's the only thing that we don't want, huh? When you are getting married, a man is that we'll be faithful to you. But at least once a year you have something to do with somebody. Would you like that, huh. Only once a year. Only twice a year. Would you like that? You wouldn't like that, isn't it? Yeah. So what is the main requirement that you want? Faithfulness. So for me, if I see all of you, the main thing that I want to see you is faithfulness. And loyalty means faithful. It means constant. It means the same. Amen. I think the best question I can ask is Edith, am I? Do I sound the same after 10 years? Are you sure it's 10 years since you see me preaching? So I wonder whether I sound the same Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. You see the way you, you love me today. That's the way I want you to love me in 10 years time. I don't want you to be angry with me in 10 years time. One day I called my, my, my roommates, my my roommate who used to be with me when I was in school. And I have not talked to him for a long time. Then we talked over the phone, you know. Then he said, Dad, you are the same. I said, what do you mean by the same? He said, oh, why do you sound the same? You talk the same way, you laugh in the same way. You know, I said, oh, even though you're a Bishop and I said by you 2, even though you are this and that, why are you saying that I'm the same? You 2 are the same, you see? But what he was trying to say is that the way I talk is the same. The way I laugh is the same is the same. When you say something is the same, it means that what you used to say is what you are still saying. How you used to say is the same way. The way you used to say is the same thing. Do you understand? And that's what it means, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. It means how he used to heal the same. He's still healing. This is what I preach at crusade. How he used to heal the sick. He's still healing. How he used to change your life. He's still changing your life. How he used to go to people's houses, still does that When you say something is the same, it means that what you used to do is the same thing that you are still doing. Yeah. So Jesus is the same. He's lawyer. So that's why I'm going to be able to relax. And if I die, wake up from the dead after 10 years, then I come and I see Jimmy. He's the same. There's still a pastor, is still preaching, is still doing the same thing. That's that's how while we part company, we meet. After 10 years, do you understand? It should be. There's no change. You are still saying the same things. You are talking the same way. You believe the same things, isn't it? Even when you are angry, it's the same type of anger. What do you think? Yeah, so to be loyal is a foundation for everything that we are doing so that I can live and we can go away and not always be afraid. Paris team, stand up. What do you want from this Paris team if they go to Paris? So not that it's like they are happy and zealous today. And then after four years of being in Paris, what's going to happen? They start to develop wings. Whenever you call them, they say we are busy, you are busy today. You are not busy when we were in Lausanne. But today, after four years of being there, you are now busy. When we call you, you are busy. The same attitude that you have that you are eager to, to sit with us, to talk with me, to fellowship. That's what in 10 years or four years time when you are you are whatever great. Whatever you are, you are the same. Yeah. That's one of the reasons why sometimes I speak to Archbishop Dan Camilla and he will bless me. Yeah. And he's and he will say he said you are. He told me he said you are the only one. He's myself and one another friend of mine said that honest me in this town, our church is bigger than his church. We have far, far not even that we have is bigger like far more branches, churches, buildings, any aspect of ministry. But I honor him. Yeah, I honor him. There's nothing. I I one time, you know, I was talking with him and he was saying, well, his birthday, his birthday is 12th of me. My mother is 13th of me and I am 14th of me. And I told you, I told you that it's not like I have to remember your birth. You have to remember my birthday. So you don't have to. You don't have even to know my birthday. What I do for you, they also do for me. We are not equals. What are my ministries this or that? Or if I lay hands, somebody falls down. I've written a book. And so that's not what we are talking about. You don't look at your father and despise your despise your father and say, well, like Madam said, in one month he has earned more than his father end for the whole of his lifetime. In one month he earned more than his father end from the time he was born till he died. Is that, is that the basis upon which you despise your father? You have now, you have now understood what you are talking about. And as as these guys are going, we are looking for only one thing in them. Maybe honestly if I look at this, hey, so these guys want their big shots. You see, that's what fathers fear is that when this guy is great and big, will he remember how I used to hold him? You remember you look like Uncle Sam, look like Uncle Sam. Always say you look like Uncle Sam. You look like Auntie Rose. But you've forgotten how we used to hold your best. You've forgotten. And you say I've changed my father. Bishop Doug is not my father again. He has deviated. I've got a new father. I'm going together. I'm now fatherless. Your mouth like your fatherless. Your mouth like your fatherless idiot. You say that you are not, You have changed your father. Have you seen somebody who has changed his father before you? You just go and they say you have changed fathers. Can it be possible for somebody to change no matter what you do, Even when you are an Orangu, your father is your father. I mean, sometimes people see the color on you. Is it not Bishop, that one guy I met a certain guy, Caribou or Rangu guy, Caribou guy, and I was looking at that guy. He's classic. He has taught me so many things and I saw him one day and he said it is embarrassing for me. He said when people come, they asked where were you trained, where did you train? I don't know what to say. I said I was trained at you and that's the fact. He said. He told me I can't hide. After so many years, I can't hide it. That's the reality. Even if you don't like it, Come, you come What? Stand here from here. Walk here. Who does he work like? He works like his father. Who do you think he works like? A Chinese man? He works just like his father. Yeah, the what? The what? Alright, say it, say it again. The song gorilla must dance like the father gorilla. The song Gorilla must dance like the father gorilla. Sit down, Paris team, don't sit down. The first one was that when a father is rebuking the son in front of the servant, it's a chance for the servant to learn something. It's a chance for the servant to learn something. So as we are selling these guys, we are just looking to, oh, you know, maybe one day you have 8000 members in your church. You know, maybe one day you have 8000 members in your church. You'll be a very great man of God. You'll be very great. Everybody wants to this and that. Maybe you'll be flying, whatever. Maybe I may be an old man. Bring my walking stick. Bring one of The Walking stick. Have you with my walking stick? Coming. See. Have you with my walking sticker? When you see me, will you have pity on me? You've forgotten how I was encouraging you. We've forgotten how I encourage you. So I'm coming. Is it Bishop? He's coming like that. He's walking. Good man, if you've forgotten me, remember I was, I was dancing with you. We're laughing. Hey, will you, will you look down on me because I'm limping? God, God is not with me again. Hey, will you change your father? So now you have seen an American pastor who's going to be your your father. You no longer have African fathers. Hey, hey, is that how it will be? So you can see when I look at you, there's only one thing I wish I will get from you. It's faithfulness that you will remember and you'll be faithful to God. If you're faithful to God, you will never, you will never forget and you will know how you came to be where you are. If I didn't do anything for you, maybe I encouraged you and helped you to believe. If I didn't do anything for you, Yeah. Yeah, you get it. You get it. If I didn't do anything for you, maybe I didn't buy your ticket to come here. And I didn't pay your rent before. And I didn't buy some free school fees for you. And I never came to your wedding. I see. I've discounted so many things, but maybe only one thing I did for you. Only one thing. I was encouraging you. Work for God. Remember the book of Hebrews? Only one thing Noah did. He built her now, even though he had problems. But if he hadn't built it, you would have, you would have drowned. All of you would have drowned. Hey, so that's when I come around. I look and say these people are forgotten. They've forgotten. Yeah. So this is is a foundation of everything that we do. If you get somebody who doesn't have that attitude, there are two attitudes you don't need to do well. One is ungratefulness and independence. Because if you listen to me carefully, you see that. Me and the Bishop of the Church. But I'm grateful to the people. Yeah. I don't easily forget them. If you listen to my camps, the tapes, you see, I don't forget the people. Yeah. I remember all the things. Yeah. And forever and ever. Anybody who has helped me before that person, I'm always special. It's true. Sit down. Are you there? Oh, you are not there. So it is required. It is required. I want it to be in your character. Do you understand now? One of the greatest things that affects our characters is where we are from. I mean your background, your background, your background. Yes, sometimes you grow up and you see a lot of disloyalty, so it's part of you, you understand. And if you don't take care, you just follow that thing automatically. Yeah, a good example is Nigerian society that grew up in Nigeria from a certain age. Me and my father used to go to, my father used to drive to Nigeria. My mother told Nigeria was never the way it is now. Since oil came, the whole country is sport and it has produced a lot of people that tell lies that can turn against you suddenly. Yeah, or what I'm saying. You don't know what I'm saying. Even when you watch Nigerian films, you see that thing. All is a trend of all the films, the person will do something. That's why they are so interesting because betrayer and twisty and Kenny is one of the interesting amazing things in the world. Can it be possible I do ever expect this person to do this in this film? Is it not true or you've not watched some of those films before? Unpredictable. But we are all looking for a story which we can't tell how it will end. You have to watch out because if you don't take care, you will behave in another way other than your biblical way. Yeah. So that is one of the. That's one of the characteristics sometimes your background. Yeah, and such that if you grew up in a culture, like I said, I saw that people criticize Nigeria. I said, look, Nigeria is a country which has the West of leaders and has forced everybody in Nigeria to be a hassler. When you go to Nigeria, you sense the drive everybody has to look out for there's no water in the country, there's no light. Everybody has to get his own water, his own light, his own survival. And it's a country which during the when the price of our weather, they were making $100 million extra, apart from the normal revenue, extra revenue of $100 million every single day. And you go to the country, there's no petrol in the town. Every car is smelling of petrol. They have the gallons. You buy petrol on the roadside, they stop and you hold the gallon. You buy, you pour it into your car. It has. It has turned many decent citizens and has forced them to become hassles, liars, thieves, betrayers. Yeah. So if you are from Nigeria from a certain age or if you grew up in that culture, you have to watch yourself. Some people don't like, don't you like this sort of thing? But I said, yeah, I've not, I've not come here to praise you. I've come here to tell you things that are real. And I'm saying I'm saying it. I'm saying it to help you. And Ghanaians also have that spirit. And I just have it more than Ghanaians also have it. So. So what does the betrays and Ghanaians like this? The thing is going like this. You see that it has it has 10 to another place. Yeah. Recently a big church in Nigerian church came to Ghana and they put a Ghanaian pasta in charge of the church. Big church, the guy took the charger. The Bishop in Nigeria was surprised. He has not seen it in a Nigerian film before. He has not seen that in his Nigerian film. No, he he was shocked, he was shocked. Up to today, he's still shocked and it was done to him by a Ghanaian. And for me, I opposed that and I said this time it's wrong because me too. I have started a church in Nigeria. If the Nigerian guys there wake up and say why we they have foreigner go past all us now, Oh yeah, out of here, what is going to happen? I don't like that. So opposite that pastor said that me, I'm speaking against him. I'm not saying anything against you, but I don't support you. I will not associate with you. I will not associate you. I will not join any group with you. I will not welcome you to any group that I'm part of. I don't accept all those behaviors. How many agree with what I'm talking about? Now that's one thing. Country, countries, there are countries that behave like that #2 churches. There are some churches. If you come to me and you tell me you are a pastor from this church, I will not take you as a person because I've taken certain people from certain churches before and I've seen the same characteristic. One day I called the Bishop of that church and I told him that there are two characteristics of the pastors that are produced from your church. He said, what are they? I said, I've seen it. He said, what is that? I said ungratefulness and independence, and I've taken some people, made them passes. None of those people have still passes in the church. They all became the most ungrateful people. And you could sense as they are with you, they have an independent spirit. Yeah. So now when I see somebody say it's from that church, I say, ah, so I'm just telling you it's a foundation, but I'm trying to help you. I cannot mention in the church. I mean, as I'm preaching now, it's also a church. But I say that sometimes you realize that everybody from the church, you can be all break away. They're like this, they're like this, they're like this, they're like that. So you realize if you have that background in you, before you realize you can easily manifest that spirit. You get it. Are you there? Are you with me? Yeah. So it's foundational. It's required and we are requiring, we are expecting. You don't have to be a singer. I don't mind if you don't sing well, but if you are not faithful, I mind. I don't mind whatever country and I'm going to give everybody a chance. If you are here, you are Nigerian, I will give you the chance. I'll give you the chance. I promise you I've got the chance that we have had Nigerian pastors, Oshoko, Fiambra, they all turn against us, all the pastors that we find Nigerian. It's only friend that is left now. Yeah, They have all turned again. Ah, titles. OK. But he's even a new pastor, you know. A new pastor? Yeah. And divine. Yeah. Nigerian. So that you turn against us one day. When I went to Nigeria, I met a certain man who has been there for about 25 years. Yeah, now we're asking for, is there any advice you can give as we are coming here? So I can give you only one advice. If you take my advice, you can stay here for a long time in Nigeria. So I was this, what advice is he going to give? So as you are here and you are moving, just be watching and expect a sudden change at any time. If you have that expectation at any time, you can stay here. What is the meaning of this? He has been there for more than 20 years. They expect a sudden change at any time. Hey, then he said, oh, let me just give you an example. You must always be on the watch. He said just is there something? I said let me give you an exam. I said today I went to buy roofing sheets in the market in in Lagos. I said I went there, how much is this say thousand? I went here 900 so this is the cheapest 1. So I took the money and I paid for it. He said I was, I was just coming, Sir, what sudden change can there be in this roofing sheets? What what subbing change could there be in these roofing sheets? Just as he was packing the roofing sheet here, can we check something about this roofing sheet? So when he checked the roofing sheet, he realized that the top one is roofing sheets of a certain thickness. The rest is a different. Yeah, that is why it was cheaper. But you can't see. So he said that it was because his mind started to what can there be? What can there be? What can there be, What can there be, what can there be? Then he saw it. So I'm just saying something, but I've told I don't want to hide anything from you. How many are glad that I'm sharing with you all these things? Yeah. And and it's healing. It's bringing freedom. It's helping all of us. And even you also help you to look at yourself and say, look, let me have a good attitude and yes. And and help me to stay for harvest. Certain. What do you call it? You know, because I I we must have that spirit in that mind. But otherwise our church cannot grow. Our churches cannot grow because it's like you. You. You have to have this, this, this. No. Everybody who wants to work for. Come in. Let's work. Come on, Let's do something. Let's do our best. One day we all perish from this earth. We'll all be gone. Oh, you don't know that. Don't you know that this time is temporary? One day you hear that I'm dead. One day, you you get a call. Bishop is gone. That's it. It will be. It will be over. How would you fight with me about something so that when the time comes out is gone. So glory be to God. We are following shortly. Oh, I will get a call that you are gone. You think that I'll die before you? If God has determined that I'll be an old man, I'll bet all of you before you never know because I decide I should be a very old man before I die. You never know. Now whatever he has decided, I'm like a chicken in a farm. I never know when they will come and say, come Kentucky Fried Chicken. Now go in the next Kentucky. OK, so loyalty. Why loyalty? Because it is the basic requirement that we want from everybody. How many agree with you don't have to have money to be a pastor. You don't have to be from a particular country. You don't have to have the particular colour. In fact, we want such a multi. We had, there was one guy in Zurich. He was going to be our first white pastor. But we have some guy who is a person who preaches in Zurich church. And where is he? Is he a pastor? OK, Yeah, he was going to be our first wife. I wish I had white pastors. I want different nationalities. Oh yeah, no matter. There is no more around. OK #2 is to fight the 5th column. Yeah. What is the 5th column? The internal. Now you see, we have had a few shakings in the church. Didn't come from Swiss government, didn't come from the occultist in Switzerland, didn't come from the witches in Switzer. Witches have conference in Switzerland every year. Did it come from the witches conference? It came from our own pastors. Now what is the 5th column? The 5th column is one day there was a battle and the army commander was going to fight and then the young soldiers came to ask him how are you going to win this battle? And the army commander said through the 5th column, I said, what is the 5th column? He said, I know you have 4 columns or 4 battalions. So how what is the 5th column? And the commander said smiled. He said, oh, my 5th column is inside the city. They are inside there. They will open the doors for me and I will come in. Do you understand? Now, those of you who have watched this, there's a film called Troy Troy. Sure. You see the Trojan Horse, The guys were inside the horse, and they took the horse inside. And then when they were inside, they opened the gates of the city. So the main fight is won by internal issues. You get it. No great civilization has ever been defeated from outside. Like the Roman emperor, it is defeated from inside. So if anybody's going to harm me, it will be my own people. Jesus Christ was not caught by external forces. It was his own internal person. Saddam Hussein would never have been caught. It was his relative who showed them where he was. Is it not true? How much did they pay him? Yeah, $25 billion. New passport, new identity, new name, new everything, $25 million. Saddam Hussein is here. My uncle, my my father, my relative. Yeah, they paid him not catch him. He's here. He's in this hole. And they went, they went straight there. Open the thing. And he said, I surrender. I want to negotiate with the American government. That's what he said. I want to negotiate with President Bush. I say, you come out with all his beard and he was inside the hole. The great people and the great things cannot be brought down unless they are brought down from within. Yeah. One day I saw a film in Israel. They had two Palestinian brothers, and they were pulling them on the road inside Palestine. They were pulling them with a roof, and they were beating them, stoning them. You know what they said? That they were informers of Israel. Yeah. Informants. Yeah. Do you know how Israel is able to bomb? They say this person is here, kill him. They bomb. They bomb you through your window. You see the window, they know you are in the kitchen. The thing will come straight to the kitchen to kill. It's all informants. The big winds come from inside. So we need the inside to be loyal and to be strong and always on the alert for disloyalty within. So from today, if you know of any disloyal people, come and say otherwise, it will break down the church from within. Yeah. Recently we lost our church in Baden. Our church in Baden, almost everybody was taken away because the pastor who was there was talking to the people, renting a hall, doing everything. And in the end he went away with the whole congregation virtually. There's almost nobody. We are just, we are coming to even close that church. There's almost nobody left there. Do you think we will be happy with such a person? And who was it? Was it a witch who came to spoil the church? So now as we have, we said now we don't have a church in Baden and we closed down. Is there a witch who came to close down the church? No, it's my own pastor whom I appointed and whom I sent, who didn't go, who stayed there and has taken the church and destroyed the church. So now there'll be no church there because of a person. Yeah. It's blows down the church. It's made the church not exist again. Yeah. You think we have a certain attitude towards such people? I should come and ordain you. I should bless you. I should pray for you. I should do what then? In what order should I be ordaining such people? Who's next after that ordination? Are you there? So it is where you don't understand loyalty or disloyalty that you said you, you, you may laugh at me as I'm preaching about like, so it's a waste of time. Why do you do that? And so no, as I'm preaching, there are people who would have been disloyal, but because of what I'm saying, they learn and say, oh, the shop has explained the thing to us. He has explained it to us. Now I can see some of you are feeling sleepy. Please, if you are feeling sleepy, just join somewhere at the back, somewhere else from a fellowship of sleepers at the back there. He's a president. He's a new president of the Sleepers Sleepers Association. Oh, please join him so that be free. You feel free. There is no shame any more. Members. Some of your church is growing in six months. Pastors. Growing church. Amen. How many understand that? We have to see it within us, inside. It's not something from outside. Don't be afraid of witches, Wizards, whatever. This is what you must be afraid of. Yeah. We have 847 churches. 847 churches, If people are not loyal, how do you think we can continue to have all these churches? So brothers and sisters, it is one of the most basic. Some years ago, I had an assistant who was disloyal to me, always criticizing me, discussing me. Oh, he used to sit on the is it this side or this side? I think it's this side second rule. I was afraid. Oh, and I was a new pastor. I was shaking, but they were discussing whether I was called and whether I could preach well, whether I was called and whether I was preaching. I knew I knew how to preach. They used to have me things about me and when I got to find out about I was afraid every Saturday I had diarrhea. You know, diarrhea out of fear for Sunday morning is coming. That is where I knew that diarrhea is caused by anxiety. I didn't learn this in medical school. I've not seen it in my book before. But Saturday from around 2:00 I'll be there or then I'll just go. What type of pregnant stomach is this? I mean like it's like beds that are going to toilet, just small, small, small, small. But your stomach is not stable every Saturday after. So I remember I told my beloved, I said, is this how my life is going to be till I die? Diarrhea every Saturday till I go, I, I die at the age of 70 when I came to church, I'll be there. I'll be looking at their face. They'll all be looking at me. No, sometimes I appreciate people just look straight. It's like I was shaking, my microphone was shaking, and then my mouth will become dry. All my salivary and the vagus nerve. We supplied the parotid and submandibular salivary glass. All of them will say stop work, stop work, and my mouth will become dry like this. My tongue cannot move from the back. That's when I saw that it takes the movement of the tongue to speak. That's when I saw it. That's why I didn't learn it in school. I I experienced it. I was shaking. I said, look at the people said, they say you don't preach well, you crack too many jokes. You don't have enough jokes. There are no Scriptures. One day a pastor was preaching. Somebody stood up to them and said, pastor, there are no verses in your sermon. He just stood up. There are no verses in your sermon. There are no verses in your sermon. Oh, it was terrible. It's terrible to have something inside. That's why I'm desperate to get rid of everybody who is not fully with us. I am a hunter now. I'm hunting for any sign or smell track of any form of destroyers. I'm searching. If you send me a text that you know of anything, please tell me. Because I'm on the sniffing path. My claws are ready. My teeth and my jaws are ready to bite them. Tell me, tell me, tell me. I'm looking for them. I don't want a lot of pastors. I want loyal pastors. I don't want a lot of people. I want loyal people I don't want plenty people with. I just want loyal people. Yeah. Just tell me. Let me smell it. That'll be it. So better hide your things well. Hide your things well. Because when you fly like this dog, that's it, You're out. When Solomon, when Solomon took over, he told Shimei, he said if you cross this line, I'll kill you if you cross this line. So stay from this Havesi. One day he went and came to cross. That was it. I told you. Yeah, I told you, don't cross here. Recently, I was in Korea and I was preaching at the. I was preaching about this and all the big shot pastors were there, big pastors from different countries with thousands of Czech members. And so they were all sitting there and I was preaching about this. And I became nervous in the middle of my preaching. And I remembered those, my tongue once again, something that has not happened for about 20 years, it became dry. And I remembered those days. And I smiled to myself and I got a bottle of. That was another thing they used to criticize me about that my water. Why do I drink water when I'm preaching? Because there was a lady who used to come and serve the water. They didn't like it at all. Why does he do that? So one day I called my assistant. I said, let's have a meeting. Yeah. I called and said let's have a meeting because I had AI had a dream. In the dream there was a girl who used to sing before I preached. I always, I've always liked singers, you know, I like when they sing for me, you know, it's just a picture. I didn't come with my singers. I would have come with them. But they are pianists having exams, you know. But I tell you, this guy used to sing. There's a guy used to play and she would sing every time before I preach to sing and play. Then I had a dream. In the dream, I was in a boxing ring. I was wearing blue shorts. She was. He was wearing red shorts like Mike Tyson. And yeah, in the blue corner, it's dark. He was males. And on the other side was this person, the person who is singing for me and round one. And here I was. I fought with this girl, the singer. I mean, it was a film that I was watching fighting. We fought and I was so tired. And then I got out of a dream actually, this girl fighting with me in a boxing ring. And the Lord showed me that, look, this girl and all these other people, they are fighting you in the church. So then the Lord said to me, cast out this corner, Proverbs, I think 26 or so. Cast out people who mock you, people who don't think much of you, Cast them out. And strife shall go out. Contention shall go out. There are persons who have been with us. They don't, they'll curse it. I know that. Oh, I know that they would like this brother to say, Bishop. Oh, somebody said your brother. Some of you talk because I'm the sister. I say your brother now. Now you call me your brother. Now they say your brother. That's how they talk. Now your brother, your brother this, your brother this. And I realized that these people were fighting against me and fighting against my ministry. I called for a meeting. I said come, let us discuss. When they came, I said you. I realized that you don't believe in me. There are people in this region, they don't believe in me. They don't believe in our exams that we write. They don't believe in the church. They don't believe, I would say cast out the corner and strive chassis. So now when you are casting them out, they don't want to go. They don't want to go. So I told the guy from today, my right hand man, oh, my right hand, that ambitious. That was not my right hand man. He was my right hand man, the church. And I said from today, go away. Oh, I said go. I said go out of the church. Don't be in the church again. He said, oh, if I don't want him to do anything in the church or anything in the ministry, he no problem, he can be in the church, he will not do anything. And I said no, I don't want to. I don't even want your presence. That's what I'm saying, that now we have reached a place that we don't want even your we don't even need you to look at us. We don't want to see your face. Don't look at my face. I don't want to see your face. Don't come to the church, don't come to our convention. You are, you are. When you go to South Africa, every building they are sitting at the gates. Right of admission, reserved. We reserve the right to admit you or reject you, and we reserve the right to admit or reject anybody that is coming to our church. We are not interested. Or if we are having conventions, don't come. Be at where you are. Also be at where we are. Don't come and stop polluting when somebody's talking. Idiot, idiot. Now come into city, the church to whisper the math. So the guy went out of the church. You know what went out of the church? The Bible says cast out the corner. Have you seen it in the book Proverbs, page 11, Proverbs 22, verse 10, cast out the corner and what shall happen? Contention, strife shall cease. Amen. When that guy went out, just that person with this singer and all his friends from that day, I was left with Bishop Saki, Bishop Eddie, my wife Emilia, Elaine, one or two people. That's the the small group that we're left with. That group is what has grown into all over the world today. So brothers and sisters, we let me tell you something. Let me tell you something, my dear friends. Fewer the fewer the loyal. The fewer, the more loyal and the fewer the merrier. Yeah. So you can either be part of the fewer group or you can go away. We do not need a lot of people to do well. When Gideon was going to fight, God said there are too many. There are too many for us to do well. Sometimes there are too many people around for us to do well. We have to cut it down to a few loyal major people. That's why everywhere I usually have just one main person. I don't need 35610, just one person with a good attitude who is very loyal. That's all. Are you there? That day was one of the best days of my life when this guy went away. And I'm so happy so many of the pastors in Switzerland have gone out of the church. I am so excited and happy about it because it's it's a pruning. God has removed contention. He has removed strife, He has removed arguments, He has removed accusations. He has removed all these things from our mess. And it is like removal of rocks, weeds, stones and other things that prevent us from growing. Yes, we are free now and I have all these new guys and all these young guys. Let us build a church now. It's going well. It's one of my greatest blessings in the church to have all these guys who have gone to have gone. Go and tell them. I say I'm blessed that they've gone. I'm happy that they've gone so that they can be where they are and I can also be where I am and those who believe can be with me. Those who don't believe, they should be aware they are. That's all. I'm not the leader of the whole world. Even Barack Obama cannot lead all of us. That's a leader of those who feel. People who believe in me. They believe in my calling. They believe what I'm saying. The rest who don't be out where you are, but don't stay with us and confuse us. Yeah. Don't stay and confuse us, Charlie. My ministry almost ended with that guy. Who? The guy almost finished me off in the ministry. I was almost. That would have been the end of me if God had not given me the strength to suck him. You will not be sitting here looking at me. We don't pray about it. We don't pray about. We cast. It's a casting matter. Are you there #3 For the love of God to fill the church, Amen. John 1335. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another, Amen. Hallelujah. Now what do we want to fill the church? Love, love. Let there be love shared among us, let there be loving us, and may this love sweep the snake, 'cause us, O God, to arise, O us the flesh and the snow world of our brother. The love that is real. Leather be loved shed amongst us. Leather be loved Sinner. Now we want love. I said we want love. We want love in the church. Yeah, more luck. So anybody who's bringing confusion, go away now, unfortunately. Unfortunately, some people, when they are going out of the chair, they don't just go quietly. Instead of going like this, go like this, go like this and go away quietly, huh? They come back, remember and it and zip, then they then they go away. Instead of just going, you will it in the church before you went. Now everybody who comes to the chair starts to smell there's something wrong here. There's something wrong here. What's happening? Because that pastor, when he was going out before, he when he whivled on us, he whivled in the church. Now everybody comes and says what's wrong with the church? I hear the pastor has stolen money. I hear this. I hear that he's left his bad stories and his bad whatever in the waters that he drank from for five years and that he was appointed on. Now others are still in the church coming to drink from the water zone, but he has, we went into the tent and has gone. Some of them even go further and they remove the whatever and they go down and they put people on the floor. And a poo poo there. And I tell you, everybody who comes to the river to drink, I cannot drink from this. What is that floating on the water there? What is that floating on the water there? Are you sure we can drink this? Are you sure you can join this church? Are you sure it's a good church? Are you sure Lighthouse is a good church? What is that floating on the water there? What is that floating on the water there? The water was sweet. The water was nice till you came. And when you were going, the last thing that you did were you, you, you vomited on us and you had a running stomach, which wasn't a normal, normal. Time to Ezekiel chapter 34. People are wiki though you've been in the church all these years, never thought that it was a bad church. You could even come to my house and stay in my house in Ghana. Now you are going saying that I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm that. You come down and release a big one that that even it is not sinking to the bottom of the river because it is full of oil. It is full of oil. It is, it is lighter than water. It cannot sink. Ezekiel 34. Verse 17 As for you, my flock, that says the Lord, behold, I will judge between 1 sheep and another. Verse 18 And never forget this vessel, you die. Is it too slight a thing that you should feed in the good pasture, the good pastor of the church, that you must trap down with your feet the rest of the pastures? After you are fed from the pastures, the rest of it, you step on it and trample on it, so people cannot come and eat the nice grass again, or that you should drink of the clear waters, that you must foul, Foul. Are you with me? Verse 18. You must foul the rest with your feet. Pass on my flock. They must eat what you tread down with your feet, and drink what you found with your fate. Therefore that saith the Lord God to them. Behold, I even I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. Amen. Are you there? Did you see that verse? What verse is it? Verse 17 and 18. Is it a small thing that you join Lighthouse for five years? You'll be blessed by the waters of the church. And when you are going, knowing very well that people are coming to drink from the water you've been drinking on, you foul the water. The word is foul. What does the King James say? You don't use King James here. OK? You must foul the water. Soil dirty now. People cannot. There are people who have heard bad things about me. They even see me preaching. They'll just walk out because of what you said. Meanwhile, you, you've been blessed, you've learned how to preach, you've learned this, you've learned this, you've learned that you, you got married and bled hands on you. So many things. Now you walk away. And then the last thing you do as your last parting gift, you don't say even bye bye, your parting gifts. Then you go out. That's your parting gifts and you walk away. Billy, is it a nice thing? It's a very bad thing. It's very bad, Very bad. Look, I'm telling you something. If you meet a pastor who does that, you see, that's why anybody who says I want to join Lighthouse, the which church are you from? Oh, I'm from Goblic up Church. Goblic up Church. A very bad church. The pastor, The pastor is not like you at all. Hey, Bishop, you are a real miracle. Goblic up a pastor, Pastor Sam, it's very bad. It's not As for you, Bishop, your preaching is so sweet and so nice. I love it Push Bishop, I'm falling in love with you. It's so fantastic. Fantastic. When you hear somebody talking like that, you are saying so many bad things about Pastor Sam. I I don't want you to be in my church because it's just a matter of time. You will turn around and say, have you heard about Bishop Doug? A very, very bad man. Hey, Bishop Doug is very dangerous person. I've been that church for some years. The man is like a snake. It's like a snake. It's like a dragon. At first I don't that I thought it was good, but later on I thought there was a certain poisoning, something inside the church. All my life is poor, my business is poor, my marriage is poor. Everything of my life is poor. Since I joined that church. I would not surprise you to be in that. What have you done? That's that is all that you. You are people on me. That is your thank you gift. That's your thank you gift. You're math idiot. How do you say idiot in Italian? Idiot. Now we shall change it into Italian. Idiotic. Hey, these people are wiki though. I remember a certain guy, I remember when he was married, he couldn't have a child and I prayed, I prayed with him to have a child and I talked with him about so many things for how he could help to help him to have a child. And I remember one day I was sitting with him and he saw that I was crying. He saw that I was crying because I felt it so much as if I have got children. But I felt it so much. And I look at this guy say you today you have forgotten and how somebody cared for you, even prayed for. You don't even know whether it is my prayer that because you can never know. One day 2 passes were quarreling and the second brother was not feeling well. So the second brother said that I need prayer. So the two passes were there and the guy said the guy was crying. The guy said instead of us praying you pray 1st and after that I also pray. We shall see which one will work. You see, you never know which one works. So they wanted to separate to see which prayer work. And what I'm trying to explain is that you may not know what it is that even helped you. Excuse me, I need to spray. I need to spray. That is how you say thank you to me, he said. God said because of that, I will judge between. But now you have prevented a lot of people in Switzerland from hearing the word of God. I will judge you. Yeah. I will judge you. Yeah, I'll judge you because you step on my green grass. Smash it like this. Smash it like that. Yeah. Mix it. I'm going to. OK, What kind of person are you? What kind of person are you? I'm not only asking one question. What kind of person are you? Don't trust idiotic. Don't. Don't trust anybody. Don't trust anybody who says bad things about Benny Hin, all Paula White or anybody. Don't trust them as soon as you hear those kind of things. My Bishop told me that she didn't trust people who speak. I'm even tired. Polluting waters have made me tired. Hey, idiot, It's not easy to be an idiot. Hey, all right, OK, OK, good #4 to have a large and successful ministerial team. Amen. How many want us to be large? How many want us to be successful? Oh, we need loyal people. When you come to Ghana, you see Lebanese men, they all have shops and they one of the reason why they are successful, they don't have a lot of differentials, just one. And the reason is that they stayed themselves at the shop. When you are buying the hey, they are there to collect their money with their wife or their child. They don't go anywhere. They don't trust anybody, you see. But there are certain companies like Negro, which have developed beyond A1 man Lebanese shop, you get it, and which are working through a large team of others so they are able to spread more. But the Lebanese, one man, Lebanese or 1 Indian doing his business, who's there himself. And he has no other system and say he trusts only his eyes. Does he trust anybody in the world? Especially it doesn't trust a Ghanaian. He trusts only his two eyes. What he can see is what he believes. Are you there? Are you listening to me? But I I I am not going to stay with you and watch over you with my Ise. Is she doing the right thing? Is she saying what I believe? No. Please. I have to trust you. I have to try. Otherwise I'm just going to be limited. I have to have you with me all the time with my eager eyes on you. But I want to just send you away and trust you over there and pray for you. And you. Do well. Do well for God. Please. Let's fight together. We have only one enemy. Who is the devil? Yes. I cannot be in. What's the name? I cannot be in Congo at the same time as here. Yeah, I cannot. I cannot be in Congo at the same time as here. So I have to send somebody like who, Mr. Jimmy? All the way to Congo, Somebody who is faithful. Yes, that's proved himself. These are the kind of person. And there's a pilot ready to take him. Are you there? So brothers, we need to have a large team. Amen. The next one, in order to have a mega church. How many can see that loyalty is an essential commodity to have a mega church? If there's going to be a mega church, it means that a lot of people are going to work. You've got to trust the people. Somebody has to come for a prayer meeting. Somebody has to leave the choir. You can't be at every meeting. I want to see what the choir leader is going to say. Did you say anything about me? What did they say about me? What did they preach about? I don't ask what my pastors preach. I don't ask what my pastors do. What did they say? What did they say about me? This is no. How can I live? I'll always be afraid. Do you understand? Just trust them to trust me. I've had a rangoose and idiotes so many of them. But I still trust. I still trust and I will continue to trust. Yes, yes, I will trust all of you. I will give you the chance. And everybody who turns round or fails, fails personally not as you are not a representative of any group. Yes, I will not let you be the representative of any group. All these passes will not let them represent any group. They represent themselves. I will give you the chance and you take the chance and it's up to you. Then you just have to do your best. Are you there mega church? If you think your church is going to grow, the church has to grow beyond 20-30. You can't do the announcement yourself. You have to get somebody else to do the announcement for you. Get a beautiful lady in the church to come and do the announcement. Get somebody else to do things. Get people to do things. The whole church has to be filled with people who are doing different things. Yeah, somebody else to leave the choir. One man pastor. You saying you leave, you take off, you do everything, and then you share their grace. You need to allow others. If you want to have a mega church, you need to have a lot of people doing things that you trust. So now when When I let her do that, now she'll talk too much. She's a woman. Why I love her to speak even that she made her beauty alone. Me and chance somebody to say that. Oh, what a beautiful lady. Some people, they watch their news depending on who is really. No. And CNN said that this foolish woman is talking. They go to this side. They go to BBC. They say that BBC. There's a very nice person over there. Yeah, so you have to you, you, you know, loyalty also depends on the leader. You have to trust people. Yeah. One time I had a terrible, idiotic. Hey, Charlie, this guy, now this guy, this guy, this guy really terrorized me, really terrorized me. And I never forgot everything up today. I've not forgotten him. But after that, since that guys came in, I've trusted more people. Oh yeah, Because God told me something. He said, look, you will have to trust people if you are going to do well. I need to trust people. It's one of my greatest needs is to have people I trust. Yeah. Otherwise I'm so limited. I'm telling you, I meet people that I trust. Yeah, and I trust a lot. I have a lot of people who can turn against me and do me harm. Yeah, but I'll take the risk. I'll take the risk. Yeah. And I trust God also to protect me. If they want to turn against me and start giving me problems, I trust them to God. Maybe God wants them to do that. Please don't do the announcement yourself from today. Don't sing yourself, but her voice is not good. Allow them also to sing somebody also to sing somebody to do announcement somebody to do something. I mean let more people you understand ushering. You can't usher that you have stand. If you share the grace, then you run to the back to go ahead and shake us with the people as they go out. One man, Pastor. One day, One day a certain pastor went to church. Nobody came to church except only one person. Yeah, only one person came to church that day. That day is the day you have to do everything yourself. You preach, you say Amen, you do the announcement alter call, you sing, you take the offering, you do everything. You share their grace. You give announcements, say all those who want to, all those who want to do this, see after church, all those who did, all those who did, all those who. And then you run to the back and you shake hands with the one guy, and then you arrange the chest after and you go home. But if you have more than two members, all the members should do so. You do musical chess. When I come, then you go back. Then you come and I go. You come and I go like that. And we pastor the church. OK, Trust somebody, trust somebody. Tell your neighbor, trust somebody. If you don't trust somebody, you cannot marry. Shabzaki is going to get married soon. None. And I was, I really forgotten what I was going to say. Yeah. Trust. He has to trust somebody now maybe at at his stage of where he is in life. And so I may say, who is this person? What does the person want from me? Is this this is that? What type of person is it? The person is pretending. Is it a good person or a bad person? You have to trust somebody. You got to trust somebody. Those are some of you don't have wives, you don't have father. Everybody look and say, oh, she's like this, he's like this, he's like that. Everybody is like something, everybody's like something, everybody's like something. Number six, to have a long lasting ministry. Amen. Are you there? If the ministry is going to last long, we need to work in a team. And because we are working in a team in Switzerland, our ministry is able to keep on going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If this person is not around, this person can come in, this person can do here, this one can do there like that because it's a team. It's a team of lava. When this person can let me tell you something, let me just tell you people something. When a pastor is changed there, every new person, it's going to bring something different. It doesn't mean that the person who was there was not doing well. Let me just let me just point that out to you now. No matter who it is, even the person who has, who has been changing has come. If he comes back again after some time, he will also bring more changes. It doesn't mean the person who was there was not doing well. Yeah, you better, you better. You better learn that and don't start saying things that you don't understand. Yeah, I'm telling you, OK, It's a teamwork. It's teamwork. Recently I was asking when they said Ronaldo and others score. When they score, are they paid extra for scoring? They are not paid. They are not paid extra for when the ones who scored, everybody gets the bonus. Because if you do that, that the one who scores is the one who gets the bonus, then everybody's going to try and score. Yeah, the goalkeeper will move and try and score the goal himself. So in our church, we are not trying to make anybody score the goal. It's a teamwork as far as I'm concerned. It's team. This one has played, this one has played, this one has played, this one has played. That's it. Nobody should try and make anybody as this is a good person. This is not about, this is that. This is not. There's nothing. I'm not here. Everybody is playing his part and we are moving on and we all win together. Yeah. Are you understanding what I'm saying? Yeah. All right. To have a long lasting ministry. Oh. I mean, can you now see Mary? Mary, we are now seeing Pastor Charles dead. Charles Bannerman dead. But his work is going on. And Pastor Charles is the person who helped me to come to Zurich. Yeah. First I stepped on the same bed with him. And that's why when he died, I changed all my flights, bought a new ticket from where I was and came to Zurich. Yeah, I said I want, I want to be there. And the last thing I said before they carried his coffin up, I said, Charles, thank you, thank you. Do you remember some of you were there. I said thank you, You helped me, you helped me, you helped me when I knew no, not even one. But today we go to Zurich. Moreover 200 and something people are there coming to church in one service apart from the other services. But Charles, when there was not even a single one member, he said come, then I came. So I can't forget him. Now he's gone. Now there's somebody else titles or Timothy, Timothy, Timothy is there now Mary is gone, but somebody else is there. So you see, what I'm trying to say is that when we are a lawyer and we we form a team, it goes on and on beyond a particular. Everybody has his expiry date. You have an expiry date on your life. You may not know, you think it's only food which has an expiry date. You have an expiry date. Yeah, you have an expiry date on your life and even sometimes an expiry date on your season in a place. Mary is not dead, but her season is finished. Yeah, she's not dead, but her season is finished. Yeah. Are you there? Yeah. So brothers and sisters, for us to, I think to like us to continue long beyond us, it has to be together. It has to be together, all of us together. We are loyal to each other. We are working with each other. Nobody's time to take over some all those things. You know, you mark my wedding. See, watch every tree that the father has not put. They will wither and fall down 1 by 1. Some of them will fall down when the storm comes. Some will fall down before the storm. There will be no storm before. Some will fall during the storm #7 We need loyalty in order to reap our full reward. What is a full reward? The full reward is when you hear Jesus say well done, well done, good and faithful servant, well done. All I want to hear him say is well done. I want to hear Jesus say well done, Amen. Well done. Michel Saki, don't you want to hear Jesus say well done? Oh, well done, you hear it. By the grace of God, may you hear that statement from Jesus one day. Well done. Hey, no, my Paris team come. Paris team, come, come slowly. Come one at a time. You come alone, supposing I'm Jesus. And when, when you then I say, oh, well done. Will you not be happy that your life is over? And then I say, well done. Angels come forth, go this way. Wow. Then another one comes, will you be happy by saying idiotic? No, no. Do you want to hear that? Do you want when you stretch out your hand, Stretch out your hand? I don't want to see you. Go. It's too frightening for Jesus to just wave his hand. Is it? You see, I can't even do it to her. I'm acting, but I can't even do it to her. It's too terrible. Come, my darling. Come. Well done. Oh, I cannot act. The play where I just suck. You go. Go. Well done. You see, I cannot say. Go away. No. I can't even act that part. I'm too frightened. It's not nice. Hold on, Hold on, hold on. Oh, good, good, good. Happy with you. Oh, well done. Well done. Wow. Well done. Join them. Idiotic, idiotic Angel police. I know Angel police here. Joe Boy. OK, Come, come, come. Well done. Join your husband. I know I made a mistake. It's OK. Come, come, come. You know I made a mistake. OK. The last man. Hey, will you be happier? Jason, Take him away. Take him away. You are not crying. When you were on Earth. When you were on earth and you had the opportunity you did not take. You are not crying fighting with angels. Now you, you you have the confidence to fight with angels. OK, Well done. Well done. You know, I remember what you did. Well done. Wow. Let's see, loyalty is what? Not because you are star, you had 1000 members or but you are well done, good and faithful. Faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful, faithful. You didn't change. That means you didn't change. You were constant, didn't affect you. You are dependable, you are steady, you are reliable. You are always there. You never change your mind, Huh? That that, that that's the basis of the reward. Well, they are the two good and faithful. You were good and then you were faithful because you can be good but not faithful. Many people are good but not faithful. You know why McDonald's is successful? It is not the best hamburger. I read it in the book once. I said McDonald's does not make the best hamburger in the world. No, they say it's not at all the best hamburger. They said there are several hamburgers that are nicer than McDonald's hamburger, but the reason why McDonald has been the most successful hamburger is because it is always the same. It will never change. When you go and say Big Mac, whether you are Nigeria or Ghana or South Africa is the same, Big Mac is Big Mac. Have you eaten a Big Mac before? And McDonald's fries is the same. It's not potato. You know, that The, the, the, the, the, the, the hamburger. Cow lips and ears. Yeah. It's always the same, never changes. The cow lips are always there, the eyes, everything. So it is. I read it in a business book. It was talking about something. He said that the reason is that they mastered the act of always producing the exactly identical, the same hamburger. That's what made them the multi multi multi billion dollar company in the whole world because they were just never they would not change. So the same price they say. So look, one day I remember I was in some town called Cologne, I think in in South America. And that town, I tell you very important when it rains, the water comes like this. You see people swimming in the water. Did you see them? They're swimming. They just swim like in a pool in the streets. And we were hungry. And then we saw the sign M We said we will get this one. We know it, Let's go there because it's the same. That's why we have the same banner in Lighthouse, the same pulpit, the same offering basket, the same whatever. It's that principle. I didn't learn it from there, but it was just something that we're doing. People come, they feel comfortable. It's the same thing. Yeah. Are you there? So when you have someone saying why should we have this offering basket, we want to have our special offering basket, Swiss offering basket made out of glass or made out of what? Chocolates, chocolate offering baskets. It's not because we want it to look poor, but it's because we want it to be the same. People are attracted to the same. Are you not expecting him to be the same when you when you, when you get a little older, maybe when you don't look as fresh as you do, when you're not as voluptuous and delicious. Is she delicious? Yeah. But one day she may not be as delicious. But you still want her to be faithful. Yeah. Now she's fresh. She's delicious. You are enjoying every day you bite some of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Yeah. So me and my wife is more beautiful now. Oh, yeah. As she's getting older, as beautiful. Beautiful. Faithful. That's all that people want. God, ask my as a pastor, that's what I want. God, that's what he wants. You, that's what you want. Three of us, God, me and you, three of us want only one thing. And what's that? Faithfulness. God wants faithfulness. I want faithfulness, and you also want faithfulness. One day a certain man was in his. He was in his house, in his room. Then he went to sleep and his wife was sleeping by him. Then he woke up in the middle of the night To the right no wife. There's no joke in my story. To the right, no wife. So he came out and he was looking at then he was dead and he saw the wall. He saw the a hand came on the wall. Another hand came on the wall. Who could it be? It was not an it was his wife. His wife was coming back jumping over the wall. She came over the wall with the with the shoes. This came into the house not knowing that when he sleeps she was an old man. When he sleeps, then she goes to town over the wall, not that old man, but I mean, so because of that jumping over the wall, he decided not to marry her again. Would you like to wake up in the night? And the Titleist has gone out speaking in tongues against it. You see he also wants loyalty. I didn't see how much he wants loyalty. You see that kind of Kongolese tongues, he was picking on me yesterday, superpower Congolese tongues. His wife will not climb any wall in the name of Jesus. How many would like to marry a woman? Then she after sometime she look at you and say you don't satisfy me, my darling. You're not like John, you're not like Jacques Clouseau, you're not like Henri Henri, you're not like things, you're not like Ronaldo. No, no, no, you wouldn't be happy. So who wants loyalty? God wants loyalty. I want loyalty. You want loyalty? It's a foundation. And without it we don't. You want to send them without lawyer? This Paris team? No, no, no. They should stay with us, isn't it? And they should just be here with us and just be ashes in the church and do a hand. No, no, no. It will be better. Sit down. Now stages of disloyalty. Hi #1 independent spirits, a spirito independente. Look, an independent spirit is somebody who wants to be separate and do his own thing. Now you don't become Judas Iscariot. Suddenly it gradually develops. But what is the first stage in becoming Judas Iscariot? What is the first stage independent spirit? That's stage one. What is it? Page 1. Page 18. Page 18 Yeah, a spirito independent, you dependiento. I said independiento, and a Spanish person to me is independiente. Are you from Spain? OK, Now listen, when you are becoming some way, the first character you develop is independent spirit. Yeah, my independent is like you do your own thing. When I say let's go, you say I'm coming. You say we are all coming from Wednesday to Friday. You say I'll come on Friday. When we say we are all coming from morning to evening, you say I'll come in the evening. Yeah, because I can't leave you. In fact, you have your own mind. You are so mature that you know you can get the important message in the evening. Is it not true? Idiotic. Yeah. Oh, I'll just come in the evening. In the morning, it's for children, isn't it? So? And the unemployed and the fools and the idiotics. And then we will come in the evening. Idiots come in the morning and you come in the evening. You're math, You're math. We are fools to come in the morning. You, you will come in the evening. When we say the whole choir is wearing red and black, you say red and black reminds me of a funeral. So I wear red and white when you say we are singing. If you are a choir leader and your pastor says these songs, I'm tired of these songs, Change the songs. Then you say, ah, why? As an independent, as a worship leader, I also tune into the power of God and know what the Spirit is also saying, so that I can bring the church and lead the church into worship, into the presence of the Lord. I hear whisperings in the spirits so I can know what to do. Why should I just do what you say? Should I not think because I'm a worship leader, I shouldn't think again? You see, that kind of independent thinking mind is not a mind that is good in the House of the Lord because God has not designed you in Switzerland and Germany and Europe and so on. They have that independent mind. So you can't tell me what to do. I have my laws, I have my rights. You can't tell me you can't make do anything for me. Everybody's independent. But it's Psalm 95. He says come, let us worship and bow down. Just sheep and sheep are dependent. Amen. Sheep are what dependent. They follow. They are in groups. Don't allow yourself to be alone. Allow yourself to flow in the group. Be humble, be humble and just flow along. Let's be one of them. What is it? Come, Just come. Don't say. How come tomorrow? How come we did? How come at the end? No, it's that it shows an independence. You know so much that you just plan your own thing. Did you hear me? You know so much that you just plan your own ideas. But you must have a flowing sports. Are you there? Yeah, Ship the moving groups. Now someone said when you are dependent, when you are not independent, you are not strong. Some of you get married and you say I want to, I'm going to, I'm sure my husband. I show my husband that I have a, I'm a three thinking woman. Yeah, woman of of the 80s, woman of the 90s, woman of the 2000s. I will show him. That's why you cannot stay married for a long time. You see that? Your marriage, One, look, you cannot have two captains in one ship. Woman, if you want to have a husband cool down, nobody can stay with a tigress. Yeah. In marriage, we have something we call power steering. How many of you are married here? Power steering? Yeah, if you are a wife and they are practicing power steering on you, you have to when they do like this, that you turn over this small touch side to the side to the side, power steering. Hey, no, no, no, no, not lifting of success. No, it's just like this. The whole thing is turning around. Tell your nearest power steering tonight is powerful. Amen. Now listen. You must not be independent. Sheep, they will follow you. Snakes, they have their own mind. Recently I saw a film. I was shocked. I used to think I understood independent spirit. When I saw this film, I was shocked beyond my belief. You know what I watch? I watch a film about Anaconda. When they are born, they don't even stay for one day with their parents. Anaconda. And I saw the guy was he said that this is a snake that when he gives birth, the babies don't stay with their mother for even what as soon as they go, I'm I'm my own man. You just go out forever. I have nothing to do with you. Again, Anaconda Spirit, we were able to make you a pastor as soon as you saw your way that you are now a pastor, that you can now preach, nor Anaconda Spirit came into you and you just move away from your father and your mother. You think you are great because you are, you are just, you have your own mind. One day I went to a certain mountain to pray. It was very cool. One day I went to walk out and I saw some sheep. The sheep were grazing and as I walked near the ship, one of the sheep attacked me and came like this, but it was tied. So when it got to me, it was held by the rope. And I and I look at the ship, I say, ah, yeah, I'm just walking by and praying you are trying to attack me. And I look at you, I say you I can tell you to lamb chops just now. I'll convert you right now. But I didn't catch the ship because it has an owner. If I if I catch it right now, I'll see what the owner, the owner of the ship. So I just walked by and I just left because I saw that somebody has packed three or four of them together. Yeah, the owner of the ship will show up. When I finished walking, I came back to the house and I was in the house. I was with Bishop, Bishop Eddie and we were praying. Then suddenly I think, is it you or Bishop Eddie started shouting snake, snake. They are seen a snake in the house because we were in the mountains and the snake had appeared in the courtyard. So we ran out with stakes and we struck the stick with and we started to attack and it was alone. You see, they, they, they, they are independent. They don't, they don't they, they, they know no man. So we then finally, first Bishop, I didn't miss it and I took the stick and I hit behind the head and the head open like that, and the tanks came out. Two of them, one says good things, one says bad things. The two tanks and the snake died. Can you believe that since we killed that snake, after now how many years ago, no one has showed up to ask why did we kill the snake? Nobody. No, it has no honor. It has no nobody. Nobody cares about it. Nobody owns the sheep, the snake. Nobody knows whether is it but the sheep that you rather thought. The sheep that you thought was weak. That has is powerless. It rather is. It is alive. Yeah, Because if I touch it, I will see the owner that very day. So you think that independence makes you mature and strong? I saw that dependence makes you stronger. So I want to encourage you, if you are a wife, learn how to be dependent and to flow. I don't know if your wives are around, but tell them I said they should flow. They should flow. They should learn power steering. When you say left, you go left. Right. Like that? Yeah. Are you listening to me? Yeah, so my, my friend, my dear friend, please learn that being independent is strong. I'm on my own mind. It's not a it's not a good you when you are a pastor edition. But we don't want your members. When you say come, they say one day I went to a certain island in Ghana and we went to a certain farm and the farm was full of corn. And I called the people. I said come and see something. The corn that had fruits that had the corn, they had all bent down like this. And the corn that had nothing on it was standing up straight like this. And I said, look, pride, you have no fruits. You are standing upright like this. You will not bend those who are really bearing fruits, they are bent over their humble. I said, can you see? And they all saw it. Yeah, they all saw it. Pride will make you stand up straight. I can't be moved. I'm stiff. I can't bend, I can't flow. I can't listen to the tapes. I can't read the books. I can't stay the camp. I can't sleep over there. I can't do it. I can't. I'm not. And I looked at it and you see the the fruit like this, someone like, wow, humble and a proud 1 like this, barren without any fruit. When you bear fruit, you become humble. Yeah. That's why that's why I want you to start. It is you'll become cooler after you've been there for four years with 23 members. You say Bishop, you have 847 churches. And not that I have even hundred members before churches. Then you become cooler when you have one disloyal member and the member would dress you down and say you, you are a thief, you are a liar. Then you Remember Me say, hey, Bishop here, Asafedo Espirito, Independiento or Independiente, any one of the two. Now, who are the best example of an independent person in the Bible? Joab. Joab, the commander of David. You read the story in the book Pastor Joab. Why was he independent? Because anything that David said he had a different mind was, OK, we're going to have a camp on Monday. Why don't we have it on Friday? We're going to have a camp on Friday. Why don't we have it on Sunday? We are going to start in the morning. Why don't we start in the evening? Why don't we do it on Saturday where all of us can come? Why is Bishop coming in? What month are we? Why doesn't he come in August when our children are on holiday? Why doesn't he come when the weather is warmer? Why does he come at this time? Why does he come at all times? Why doesn't he give us more notice? Mr. Stiffman? Fruitless tree. Fruitless tree Joab had a different mind about everything that David did. When Joab when David said I want to be friends with Abner, David's Joab said no and he killed him. When David said I want my son Absalom to be the king, I don't want my Absalom son to be killed, Joab said I will kill him. Hey, by the way, let me tell you something. Are you there? Listen, when you are disloyal like Absalom, your spiritual father may forgive you, but God may not forgive you because David said Absalom attacked David and David said don't kill my son, but he still died. Yeah, let me say no. And when and when he died, he started, he came out Christ, oh, that I may give my life in exchange for Absalom. I wish I would have given my life. I didn't want my son to die. My boy. He said let me forgive him, that God did not forgive him because he has attacked more than a man. He has attacked that institution. He has attacked a throne, he has attacked an authority. He had an attacked an anointing and God did not forgive him for that. He died for his sins even though his own father forgave him and said oh I forgive you, I don't have anything against you. Watch out, because God may not forgive you #3 Stage 2 is what offenser. Joab was independent. Everything that David wanted to do, Joab would do something different. Amen. Are you there? All right. Stage 2 is what, offense. I have never seen a town more full of offenses than Switzerland. Yeah, so I was hurt about this. Why did you do this? Why didn't you do this? Why didn't you do? We are always been afraid of offending people in Switzerland, but now we are ready to offend you. We are ready to offend you so that you go away. Let me tell you, don't be somebody who is prone to offenses. You cannot stay either in marriage, work, church. You can't stay for long. Those of us who are still married, we have been offended before, but we are still in it. How many are married? And you have been offended before. Raise your hand. And are you still in it and expecting what more offenses must expect more offenses. I want more. And then you'll be what? You'll be flowing. Amen. Stand up. You think we are finished? We are on Stage 2. We are going up to Stage 8. Matthew 24 Read Matthew 24, page 26. Then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. When people are hurt, they do what they betray. Amen. Are you hurt? How many of the hurt since you joined the church? Maybe you prepared to sing at a convention. They didn't allow you to sing. Is it true? It happens, isn't it? You know, I was coming here with some my South African children. I told you, I have other apart from you. I have other children. Yeah. It's good if you be aware. And what happened was that just at the last minute I just realized that my, my, my, my singing, my singer and my my piano person was going to play the piano, was doing exams. So I had to call them. They had got their visas, passports, everything. But I don't expect them to be hurt. You said you were taking us to Switzerland. Take them to more than Switzerland. OK, OK, good. You know why I'm drinking? Because I'm also tired. There is no shame. Have you, have you watched Rambo? Have you watched Rambo Part 2 when they were going to electrocute him? The commander said when he was putting him on the electrocution machine, he said you may scream. There is no shame, so you may be tired. There is no shame, OK, OK. Decide not to be heard. I remember when we came to start the church in Zurich, my father died. My father died at I was in the church and I had a call. And this church, we are Ghanaians at that time. It's supposed to be a tradition. I mean, a lot of tradition, when my father died, nobody gave me any donation or any kind of whatever. And my father died right away with me when I had a call that he was very aliens when he died. And what I said, these people in Zurich and sometimes some of you or whatever will die. You come to Ghana, it's like maybe nobody did certain things for you. People will be offended. If I was to have followed, I would have left this church long ago. Long time ago, I would have left the church. Yeah, you understand. And I thought about. So these people, they don't remember that my father died right with them. Never gave any donation or any acknowledgement, nothing. I was surprised. All right. I think it's wanted to pour the third stage passivity can said be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully Michelle Saki teach them this point for me. Oh yeah. So passivity, so don't be passive. Yeah. So that is page yeah, 2727 passivity. Yeah. Now, one of the things that Bishop has said here, watch out for the uninvolved members. So if somebody in the church is not involved, watch out. Amen. No, I mean, it's important that as, as we carry on, as we work and so on, some people develop a certain attitude is like, hey, maybe something has gone wrong or whatever you are in the church, you don't come, you don't say anything much. She's like, I don't want, I don't want any problems. I'm in my corner and so on. I won't say anything about anything anymore. These type of things, you know, so, so you what you, you notice you have to take note of those who are in the church who are passive and involved. This is what I'm saying. They don't want to be involved in anything. It's like. Yeah, yeah, that's right. It's like I'm just, I don't want, I don't want anybody to. I don't want any problems. I don't because I've been, we are sort of offended before. Just like I don't want in the car. I don't give in the car. I don't want to join anything. I just want, I don't to be an usher. I don't want to. I just come and go, you see, because I was, I was offended in the other church. I can show me too. I've come lighthouse. I'm learning my lesson. Yeah. If I go and say anything, they'll say so me, I'm just quiet. I'm just watching. Yeah. So you, you notice this loyalty by passive, I mean, you know, when people are passive, know that they're being the son of this loyalty. When we are in the church, when they're everybody say preach it, Bishops, I'm there. No, you don't say Amen. You don't say we all watch that one. I'm involved in the preaching, in the anything at all in the church. You just come and go, no matter who is, no matter what you said. It's like I'm just there. Everybody be laughing. Your face is straight. When those one look at you know, the other laughter goes away. And when you sit by a passive person in the church, the person's position intimidates you. His whole behavior, demeanor in the church, it's like you can't feel free to start. You want to stand up and build a person's looking. When they say come to somebody and look at you like that, it's like where are you from? Then you immediately want to change your location so you know the structure by people's passivity when they call for meeting. Look, if they come, they'll just sit down quickly. When they come off almost single people in the church, it's a it's a sign of disloyalty. Amen. Yeah. So he said that case be he that dwell the work of Lord deceitfully and case you keep it back his sword from blood. No matter what you said in the church, we won't you don't you be a shepherd, You don't you be an usher. You don't want to be anything in the church, no matter who preaches no means nothing at all. I'll just come. I want to be an ordinary member of the church from beginning to the end. It's a sign of disloyalty because at a point of preaching must move you. Anybody who comes and sometimes people too, they know how to fall asleep easily. I mean not not now. I'm sure now most of us are sleeping, but fresh, fresh friends. When you start preaching or they are yawning, the way they yawning realize they look at they want to feel and they preach immediately they are they are yawning is an indication that your body are not interested in what is going on. Their bodies, body language alone is talking to you. It's like Kali just finished the preaching. I've come to church. In fact, even as I said, you're lucky that I came. You keep on, you keep on talking. And when they come, they get. When they close shop, they are off. They are not interested in anything at all inside the sign of this loyalty. Do you understand? They don't pay their tithe. They never give special offering play. There's nothing at all. They're just the church and they don't want to leave the church. They're just passive. It's a son of a loyalty. I don't send it by you. Are you passive? What the person say? They don't say anything about anything anymore because they want to say something and then they do a rebuke. All the correctness. Tell me this, judge, I've learned my lesson. Anything that is going wrong, I won't say anything anymore. So they are just watching you. You do what you like. Everything. I'm just there quite. It's just a clear sign. So watch out for passive people. So if you have a wife who doesn't talk, you know one day a brother was married, I made a brother married and then a certain brother married and then he was sliding in his bed. Why the wife says that why are you not talking is any problem. I'm checking plans. Wait. And another brother to ask him. I mean, no, as as we're not talking. If that's not you say what should I say? No, the answer now it's an indication that the man is missing interests. If you have a beloved, you send a person a text. He doesn't reply. So are you happy or not happy? I'm OK. So you can search in the car you're driving from Los Angeles, Geneva. No talking. So I'm just, I'm just, I'm just watching the, the, the, the, the greenery. It's you must you, you sister must know that the brother's losing interest. This is what I'm saying. Because as first used to call you every time you call, you call, you talk Now when you call. Hello. Are you there, Mom? I'm here because you're talking a long time. No response. You must get the signs. Do you understand that the interest is not there? So it's a sign of this loyalty that the person has lost interest in the world is going on. Do you understand so that is passivity Bishop. I think I've tried to I might do well I'm trying so is he's not doing pre Georgia furnace in the house. I'm sweating having a background music nice one. Amen. Like like Absalom page 28 that is second Samuel captures 30 verse 22 and Absalom speak unto his brother Amon neither good nor bad. Now when the man, your brother, the man has raped your sister and then the man doesn't say anything to you, Absalom, I mean Amon has has raped Tamar. That is Absalom sister. And then Absalom doesn't say anything at all. I mean, you want you to like for the man to be angry, for you to know one day a brother, one day a certain brother, you know, he went, he was married then he went to commit adultery. He said. My worry is that my wife hasn't said anything. I think she should slap me. Then I'll feel that at least she's done something. But now the wife is not saying anything at all. When I was a child, my mother, there were three boys. When we go in, go go to school, and we go and play football after school. When you come the day she doesn't say anything, You'll be worried. Oh, you, you, you should come at 2:00. Now it's 6:00. You're not coming. Come for your food and give your food to you. You should be very worried that she hasn't said anything because 4:00 AM, she'll wake you up. Get up. Where did you go? So we should, we rather wanted to shout at us. And we know that herself has come, do you understand? So Babu saying that absolutely, it is not all to Amon. He just took it on, do you understand? Just just be there. And Amon was moving up and down and then after two years he organized a party. And if the person has not spoken to you for two years and he always a party and he invites you and you also arrive with your stomach, do you understand? The person has not made losing anything, neither good nor bad. They invite you for a party and I want to talk. He just follows straight to the to the party. He's a real idiot, real idiotic follows on there to the party And that was the end of Ammon. So when somebody doesn't talk to you for a long time and even if you want someone to marry you, the person should be your friend Face, isn't it? Yeah. No, They didn't talk to you in the church when they said so. Stop. Have a message for you. I'd like to marry you. So why? Why? Why don't you? You don't even know my surname. You want to marry me? Then don't work that way. The person must talk to you. Do you understand? So when I've so invited the guy and you also went, that was the end of the guy. So watch out for quiet people. Now you cannot walk around, wake up with people who are always quiet. Nobody's going. That's ambitious. Favorite question is what do you think? I've heard him as a question before. What do you think? Because you like. Oh, are you happy? When do you ask your brother? Are you happy? So why happy with you? So why? Why are you asking that question? He's like I said, why Complaints. No, no. Just a normal question. Are you happy? Yes. So I'm happy with you. Why? Why are you asking this question? We just want you to talk because when we sit in the car, we want what we sit in there. We want, we want some activity, we want some conversation to go on. Do you understand? And everybody has something to say as you sit there. As you said, everybody has opinion about everything. I don't think so. Everybody has opinion. So if you want to know what's going on in your mind, do you understand? We have opinion about many things Bishop knows. So anytime I'm not talking about something Bishop knows why I'm not talking when someone miss some people why not in our churches zone And then we are religion really inspiring me when the meeting is not actually I know, I know you didn't say anything and it's not like because I have an opinion, but the grace of God about many things. But I talk when I when I have a good environment. You understand. Yeah. So the point is that you should watch out for people who do not say anything about anything anymore. Amen. If you are working people in the church, shepherds and so on and you contribution. Pastors have done things and we are talking. They say, oh me, I don't want any comment at all about this is not happening. So on not them. Do you understand? Take note of those guys that they have also becoming some way. It's a stage, Amen. It's a stage that something is going on in their mind. So if you're in this church and you're going to be close, you must talk. Do you understand? We must be able to chat. We must be able to, I mean chat with you, have conversation with you. That's what you think. I don't think you should think. Amen. So that is the passive stage. We have had pastors who become passive. They don't respond. They don't send when you say bring report, they don't bring reports. They don't ain't nothing at all. They don't make any call when they come to meetings, they are quiet watching and so on. They'll e-mail, they don't check their mail. They don't do any response to anything. Just passive. Now it's just a matter of time. You see that the actual manifestation is coming out. So may you not be passive in the, in the work of the ministry. Somebody say, man, I was standing by, are you happy? Are you happy in the church? And it's not. It's a good question. Amen all. Right. So that is passivity. Are you understanding the passivity? People who are quiet, we are afraid of you. We are telling you clearly. People who don't speak, who don't talk, you have always nothing to say. Yeah. Do you understand? Yeah, we are afraid of you. From today I had a meeting. I was rebuking some pastors. All I was expecting more from them is to say something, not to be quiet. Why are you quiet? What are you thinking? Yes, say something. You can't be quiet at this stage. Amen. It causes a severe reduction in your intellectual and spiritual capacities, leading to a distortion of what you are supposed to be. Where's the book? Are you there now? The next stage is a critical stage where you criticize somebody. You criticize somebody you can't and and that is a very dangerous thing. Now the Bible says that Miriam and Aaron criticize Moses. Now, let me tell you, I just want to tell you one thing about criticism and we just move on. I am worth criticizing. What I mean by I'm worth criticizing. There are things about me that are not I mean that that qualify for criticism. Yes, that's a fact about me, my life, my ministry. There are things about me that are what person and not only me. You 2. There are a lot of things about you. Do you understand? Yes. But that does not qualify you to criticize me. What do you think? Supposing. Yeah. Nicopo camp. Nicopo camps. And then he sits in his in the church. You know, you go back to your chair and supposing this girl behind what's her name Sophie, Have you got scissors? Scissors. He just takes his you face me in the couple. And then you come with your scissors to just cut his hair. It's too long. You just say, oh, no, your hair is too long, so I'm cutting it. You don't have a right to come and cut his hair. Even if you see something wrong with it. It's just not your concern. How do you why do you say, oh, I say my hair is too short. It's not your concern. There's something. What about your hair, too? I also find something wrong with your hair. Yeah, it's big, so criticism there. When you hear people criticize, it's not because there's something so greatly wrong. There's always something wrong with us. Always, always, always. But it is an evil spirit in you that starts to see where are there some people when they see me, they just see greatness. And then you, when you see you see my faults, when I see Joseph, I just remember that he helped us. He helped me to go to Ethiopia. That's what I remember. That's all. I just remember that. You get it. So. Why is it that when you see somebody, you see negative things? Is there anything positive you can see now? Some of you, based on your character and your family, your eyes are trained to see evil. Every pastor, every man of God, you see something wrong with him. You see Benny Hinn and you say, ah, he's too mystical. You are a fool, idiotic, idiotic. Instead of admiring him, you say he's mystical. So from today, do not be friends with somebody who sees negative things about people. If you cannot see anything good about Nigeria, there is a sickness in you with your eyes. I'm telling you plenty things very good about Nigeria. Last year I was almost killed in Nigeria. Was it last year or the year before? Yeah, the year before. Because I find so many good things about Nigeria that I took all my passes. I took 33 people to Nigeria in a big bus. I said let's all the senior passes of the church were in the in the bus, all the bishops, everybody. We went and armed robbers attacked us. Armed robbers attacked us when we went there. Yeah, now even, even Nigerians, many of them don't see anything good in their own country on their they'll tell me. Once I went to one of my Nigerians, I said, Bishop, please, this is my people, I beg you, let me leave him. Yeah, he says. It's my people. I know my people. But you have to see something good in this man, something good in this one, something good. Everybody has something good. Your mind must not be tuned towards something negative. Even my the orangos and ibiotes who have affected them, there is something good in them and God is using them to do something good for for me in my life. To me I see that God is using them to just prove the church. All my enemies have helped me. My enemies are my helpers. Judas helped Jesus to go to the cross. Without Judas, he could not easily have gone to the cross. Amen. All right, So don't become critical when you see Moses. Instead of seeing somebody who crossed the Red Sea, you see somebody who has married the wrong woman. Instead of seeing somebody who brought plagues upon Egypt and destroyed, you see somebody who married the wrong woman. Your eye has gone to the wrong place. One day my wife was talking to a certain brother who needed a wife and he asked. She asked him what kind of sister would you want to marry? They gave her. When she told me, I thought, are you serious? She said, oh, size. What are the sizes of a woman they gave? They gave a size for a bottom, a bottom size. When I say a butt, I mean a buttocks or thighs, a size of the thighs or the hips and the size of the breasts. These are the two qualifications. They passed the so I mean lay ministers or whatever. So these are the qualifications size this and size this. So they will give me the this, my name. My name is Social so and I want size this and size this. My brother, you are going to experience a very hard knock. Idiotic capital. Foolish. Idiotic. What does the size of the breast have to do with happiness? Idiotic Shasaki. I'm not joking. They give, they said this one we want size 12, this one, size 12, this 14344. Fantastic figures. Somebody who has not been married before, how do you know all these sizes? So what, What does it mean? It means that their brother's eyes are looking at certain things. Instead of looking at the heart of the person, you are looking at the bottom. So when the person is going, you are looking. You are saying to whom to to whom for to whom does it belong to? To whom to to whom for to whom does it belong to? To whom To whom for to whom does it belong to, to whom? To whom does it belong to? Instead of looking at whether the Bible, the person is doing Bible study, the person is talking to whom to to whom? For to whom does it belong? To whom? To to whom? For to whom does it belong? To whom, to whom? To whom? For to whom does it belong? Instead of looking at the person's hat to see that this person know any person in the Bible, you are looking at the bottles. To whom? To to whom doesn't belong to? To whom doesn't belong to. You don't read your Bible. Does she listen to tapes? Does she come for camps? Does she have this? Does she know the word? Does she have the quiet time? How long has she been a Christian? Is she a strange woman? Instead of that, your eyes are looking to to, to, to, to, to. You won't read your Bible. You won't check whether she has been reading her Bible. You are looking at the wrong things. Does she know how to fast? Everybody you see, you can easily look at the wrong things. So when you see me, I promise you I have faults. Don't take your eyes off my faults and just extend them to some other area that when you see a woman you want to marry, don't look at her. Look that that thing that you see has a smaller size today. In the future you will see the same thing in your house and you will be asking to because you will not recognize it. Is it for me? You will be asking is it for me? Is this the original one that I got? It has changed about 5 sizes. You are looking at the wrong things. Now, if you see Pastor Kweku, who has come to Switzerland, don't look at the wrong things about him. Don't, don't look at, don't look at his shoes, don't look at his shirt. Don't look at the wrong things because it will mislead you about him. Yeah. Don't look at the way he walks. Don't look at the way he talks. Train your heart to the spirit of the person, Paul said. Henceforth we no man, no, no man after the flesh. We don't look at outward appearances. You look at the heart of the person. Yeah, look, Aaron, Aaron and Miriam, instead of looking at the miracles that Moses has done, they were looking at his wife and asking why? Why should you marry her? You are divorced. You are married. You are this, you are that. Please, every man of God has a fault, and you can choose not to look at it or to look at it. When you look at it, you are looking at the wrong things. Amen. Yes. To whom does it belong? It belongs to you. All right, Number, fifth stage. Political stage. How many have decided that you will not look at Benny Hinn's fault again, huh. OK, OK. Don't look at the wrong thing. From today, everybody look at brothers. When you see them, look at their eyes and see what are they looking at? Are they looking at the wrong thing? To whom? To to whom? For whom does it belong to? All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. Political stage, political stage. When you involve people to form a political party in the church, how do you think somebody was able to take our bad in church away? The whole church politics, of course he talked to the people 1 by 1. He talk to them, talk to them, talk to them, talk to them. Don't you think that this, don't you see that this? Don't you see that this for almost the whole church to follow you means you have really talked to the people. You have campaigned and you have spoken and spoken and spoken to the people. Are you listening? Yeah, Yeah, you talk to the people. How do you think you're able to take the whole church away? Yeah, you tell the people it's a Nigerian church and we are, we are Nigerian, so we should, we should do Nigeria whatever. What do you mean by that? When we start practicing such things amongst us, When did I would have I ever discriminated you and said that you are Nigeria, you are what? I made you a pastor. I don't consider any of those things. Then you convince the church members and start talking to them and telling that these are Nigerians. We, we are our brightness, this nationality, whatever, whatever, let's do our own thing. They are using US. You're math. Watch out. This is what Absalom did in Second Samuel, Chapter 15. You see right there, Look in your book, you see there? Absalom said. See that matters are good and right. Amen. But no one has been deputed. Page 32 See that matters are right. Second Psalm of 15 verse 3 but no man has been put there. And 2nd sambar after 15 verse 6. Bible says so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. Amen. Hey Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. You cannot be here and steal the hearts of the people from their leader and me. When I come here, I talk about you pastors in such a way that the people will like you. Why do you talk about me in such a way that people will not like me? Have you ever thought about that? I think it's my duty to always come and say good things about you. I am making the people believe in you more and trust you more and follow you more and establish you more. Why don't you also take the hearts of the people, so that the hearts of the people will not turn away from their real father? But Absalom made the people had turned away from King David towards the sun, and he stole their hearts. Every thief shall not prosper when you steal their hearts. When you stolen their hearts, then you can steal the people themselves. That that word stealing of sheep. It's a biblical term. You first steal their hearts and afterwards you can steal the body. If you are in Geneva, don't steal the heart of the church. If you are in Zurich, don't steal the heart of the church. If you are in Ben, don't steal the heart of the church. Let the heart of the people be with their true Father. Amen. Can I have an Amen? A spiritual, political the next one. Deception. You must be deceived. Amen. Deception is what makes people do the things that they do. They think that there is no God. Are you already deceived? There's no God. No one sees. No one hears. No one will punish. God sees. Oh, God hears. God is listening. God is watching, watching all that we are doing. You get it? You can't get away from God. God. God is in my room with me when I'm alone. God is with me when I'm in a room alone, God is there. When no one is there, God is there. He's always there. He sees everything that we do. The Bible says in Proverbs 15 verse 3, the eyes of the Lord are everywhere. Beholding the good and the evil cause is what we even say in our hearts. That's why the book at Nizza was sent to become an animal. So even when you are with your wife alone, or when you are with another woman or another man alone, the eyes of the Lord are there. He sees, He's with you, His presence is there, He's watching you. Hey, always be conscious of God, be conscious of God, be conscious of God in your heart. God will bless you. God will reward you more for what you do privately. The Bible says the prayers, the fasting, and the giving that you do in secret. God rewards you openly. Most people who are rewarded big in public, it's from private things that they do. Yes, big public. He openly rewards you. Usually it's from private things. It's usually from private issues. Because he said that what you do secretly, God will reward you openly. How many have got to reward you openly? Yeah, all right. So don't be deceived that God doesn't see. God sees. He sees. He hears everything. Amen. Whatever we say in our hearts. Hallelujah. Final stage, open rebellion. Lucifer openly rebelled. Bible said there was war in heaven. If there is war in heaven, why should there not be a war in the church? Even heaven there was war, why should there not be war? Should we not declare war in the church? How many agree that we should declare war in the church against all serpents and Dragons and anacondas and idiotis? The next one, Absalom fought against his father. Behold, Absalom, my son, which came forth out of my bowels, seeketh my life. Bishop Saki, do you know that one day, one of the passes which came forth out of my spiritual loins, you know what he said? He said I'm going to drive you out of Accra. A few days ago, I realized that this is exactly what Absalom said to his own father David. He drove him out of Jerusalem. His mind was to drive King David out of the city, exactly what Absalom did. And this guy said, I will write a book about you and you cannot stay in the city again. You will see an Absalom in your life and you realize may you never be an Absalom. Lay hands on your neighbour and say, may you never be an Absalom till you die in the name of Jesus. The next one, Judas betrayed and fought against his own Lord. Amen. Judas came and with him a great multitude with swords. Now he that betrayed him gave him a sign saying, whomever I shall kiss the same is he. Hold him fast. Some people give you hugs, but Charlie, they are hugging you. But Charlie, there are things in them. They call you like that. They call you Papa, but they kiss you, and they are wicked, wicked, wicked, huh? Openly rebel against your own father. So, Briders and sisters, may you never be one of these three and pray specifically, may you never be what Absalom? No, there are three Lucifer, Absalom or Judas. Lucifer is somebody who forgets his appointment, but Bible says that you forget that I said you. So never forget your appointment. May you never be absalom someone who fights the person. A lot of the persons in Switzerland have turned into absaloms. Yeah, all of the persons are appointed in Switzerland. They are turning to absaloms. I appointed them as persons. Go and ask them. They will tell you. They have tend to fight against me, to try to drive me out of Switzerland, take over my, take over my Kingdom. In that sense. That's what Absalom try. Take over the churches, take over the churches. So is it not an Absalom? It's an Absalom spirit. And then may you never be a Judas and turn against your Lord and the one who trained you for years. The first thing you do in the ministry after three years is to betray. Hey, some people are wild though. First day of ministry, No, you betray finally. How did all such people end execution #1 Lucifer What happened? Page Page 45 What happened to Lucifer? The great Dragon was cast out. Absalom What happened to him? 10 young men compassed about him. Father sent 10 young men to smite all absaloms in the name of Jesus, and they slew him. A hit of Hell. He hanged himself. Aito fell. Betrayed his friend. David said about it. Aito fell. I ate with you. I had dinner with you. Huh. You turn against me. I ate with you. You remember. I ate with you. You remember. I ate with you. You remember. I ate with you. You remember. I ate with you. You guys remember. I ate with you. I sat at the table. Come sit with me. Let's eat, he said. My familiar friend, I, I put bread which we were ate together. He's lifted up. He's hailed against me like this. Once you have eaten with me, be careful because a scripture, the context had been laid for you to fulfill it with one step and you would just be exactly that, you eating with me and you turn against me. So the first part has been fulfilled. That's Ahito fell she may. When David was weak, he kissed David when David was going at the true stones at him and kissed him. When your father is weak or any trouble has come to you, don't turn against him, or rather support him. Yeah, Adonijah, he tried to become the king when he was not appointed. One guy, we have not yet appointed him as a pastor, but we told him that we are going to appoint you as a pastor. So the next day when he went for shepherd's meeting, he saw his fellowship. He told them I am going to be appointed as a pastor, I'm going to be appointed as a pastor. They couldn't wait. Call me, everybody's here. Pastor, we love you. You have not yet been appointed. Everybody leave to her and say pastor, we love you. He's trying to do rehearsal with the members. He could not wait. He could not wait till the next week that he was appointed that everyone leave to us a pastor, we love you. Come on pastor, we love idiot. You cannot wait. The post is so much in you, Adonija and Judas. He went and hung himself. So brothers and sisters, stage 1 is what? A spirito independent spirit #2 is what offense? How many have you had before? From today you will never be hurt, no, not you never. You will be hurt. But when you are hurt, let it go. Let it do what? Let it do what, Let it do what? If you don't let it go, you will. You will soon be disconnected from us. Amen. I remember 1 professor when I when my wife was going to have a baby, I went to the antenatal with her and when the professor was looking after her, I saw down on the his feet. He was not wearing shoes, but I saw his big toe was gone, the big toe. And I said professor, where is your toe? And he said my toe is in Saudi Arabia. We were in Ghana, but his toe was in Saudi Arabia. His toe had left the church. His toe was no mom, a member of the body. So I asked him what happened to your toe? He said one day I was wet and I hit my toe against the table and it got hurt. And he said I have diabetes. And when you have diabetes, the wound doesn't get healed. So because of that, the wound kept getting bigger and bigger. And he said they wanted it became gangrenous. They wanted it to cut off my whole leg. Yeah. So he said in there they cut off just the toe and left the leg to see whether it will get healed. And it got healed. He said that's how come my toe is gone and it happened in Saudi Arabia. And that day I learned something. What did I learn? When you are hurt and you don't allow it to get healed because of spiritual diabetes, what can easily happen, it will let you. You being cut off. Yeah, be cut off because you don't get well, maybe I preach and I say something you didn't like it, just let it go. Let it go. Don't keep the heads within you when you are rebuked. Some of you you get offended when you are rebuked. There are two types of children. Those that when you rebuke them after they start smiling with you and then those that when you rebuke them, their face changes and you have to beat them for that face to also go away. Second round. Yeah. The first one is for the issue, the second one is for the face. I have my children, I have some that are this way. They need 2 beatings, 1 beats the the issue and the second beats the for the face. And another type of when I beat them, the face immediately bright against clear. One beating is OK. Which type of child are you? Do you need one dose for the face, one for the issue, and one for the face? Amen. Say I am the child who gets hurt and then it's over immediately in the name of Jesus. Amen #3 passivity, passivity. They are too cool, too quiet. Don't talk. Hey, one day I went somewhere with some pastors because I wanted to be friends with these pastors. So I said come with me on a long journey. We went far for hours and then we came back. When we came back, I said I will not travel with these people again. The guy was quiet throughout the journey and he was sitting behind me too as I was going out. What are you thinking that you are not saying? When I came, I said I won't go with you again. I don't know what you are thinking, What is in your mind, what is in your heart? Stage 4, Critical stage. Critical stage is what? When you are looking at the wrong things. To whom? 2 To whom? 4 To whom? To whom? That's it. To whom? You think you'll get a Good Wife when you are looking at stage #5 is what politics from today? When you see any political pastor, what are you going to tell him? Pastor, we have seen you. Let this be your last chance last time. No more politics in this church again and you will catch you. You are coming to do politics in Lighthouse. You are you. You don't know. You don't know in duty, in duty proper, in duty. You didn't come to camp. That's why you don't know what you know. Your head is not correct. We have been informed of various pastors which are waiting around the islands ready to land here. If you misbehave, we shall send texts right now. Idiot Stage 5 deception that is safe. Totally blown away your mind is not correct again. Are coming to fight a man of God, Satan, deceive the whole world. Stage 6 Stage 6 is deception. Stage 7UP in rebellion that made yourself someone who cannot remember your appointment. Someone who wants to drive his father away from Baden. Want to drive your father away from Alton? Want to drive your father away from where? Olikon. I was in Olikon. I've been sacked from there, like David ran away from Jerusalem. But when David went into the mountains, he returned back to the town and Absalom's hair was cut. He was hanged by his hair. Absalom, be careful. Oh, your hair is too long. Your father may forgive you that God may not forgive you. You may hang by your own words and by your own hair. Tell your neighbor. You may be Absalom, but I will never follow you. I warn you. I warn you in this church. Absalom, we are forming political parties in the church saying that we are Cameroonians, we are Nigerians, we are Ghanaians, we are half caste. Half caste? What? Half caste me, you and what half caste fellowship? Half caste fellowship. Lift your hand. Come, come, all of you come. We are forming political, political. Oh, let's stand here, take a picture.

We are different from everybody else and we are forming our own half caste Lighthouse Chapel International, the math idiot. We are one people. Amen. You think I can also do politics? I can say, you know, we are the half caste in the church. You see our colour. Yeah. We are the half caste in the church. Like I say, you know, just you have. Yeah, just us, you know, half and half, they don't like us. But this one, they don't respect us. They see us as white people. You know, they see us as.

Rat. They call me red. Red they say ofrigiato. Ofrigiato is what? Albino jato is what? What about you? If they ask me where do I come from, I say I'm Canyon Swiss. You can, depending on who asks, either say Ghanaian, Swiss or Swiss Ghanaian and you can see they always have their own mind who where I'm from. Usually you don't come from that place, both of the places. So. So it means to whom too? To whom? Come on, Let that to whom we belong to to whom we belong to Jesus. Anybody who wants to play politics in this church, we shall ban you. I tell you that any mention any country, you mention any country in this church again.
