So please, everybody in serious member must have one of these books. OK, must know scriptures. All right, so it's just nice to listen to everything together. OK, now the dangers of closeness. I'm still on the closeness. Now I'm the dangers of closeness. And then after that, I'll give you keys to closeness. Then we are getting to the end now. Korra, the son of Izar, the son of Kohath, with Dithan, Abiram, the sons of Reuben took action and they rose up before Moses together with some of the sons of Israel. 250 leaders of the congregation chosen in the assemblyman of renown. They assembled together against Moses and Aaron and said, You have gone far enough for all. The congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is in their midst. Why do you exalt yourself in the assembly of the Lord? When Moses heard this, he fell on his face, and he spoke to Korra, saying, Tomorrow morning the Lord will show who is his and who is holy, and will bring him nearer to himself, even the one he will bring nearer to himself. Amen. Do the thick incenses for yourself, Kora, and all your company, and put fire in them, and lay incense upon them in the presence of the Lord tomorrow. And the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the one who is holy. You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi. Verse 8. Then Moses said to Kora, here, now you sons of Levi, verse 9, is it enough for you that the Lord God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the congregation, to use you to do the works of the Lord and the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand you and to stand before the congregation, and it has brought you near. You see what it says? You didn't see what it says? That's not what it says really carefully. That's 9, he said. Is it not enough for you, Amen, that the Lord has separated you to bring you where near to himself? Amen. To do the service of the Tabernacle. Now it's better. It's better seen in the King James. The King James Bible says, Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the Lord God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation, to minister to him. And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy son, thy brethren, and the sons of Levi with thee, and seek ye the priesthood also, for which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord. And what is Aaron that he remember against him? And Moses sent and called Daphan and Aberan, the sons of Eliab, which said We will not come up, we will not come up. See, one of the signs of rebellion is when Moses, the set leader, the set man, calls for a meeting and people don't come. We will not come. Whatever the reason, we are busy, you get it. We have this to do. We have that to do. We will not come. And some of you, you will not say that. You will not come with your mouth, but you don't come. It's the same as this kora. You have the spirit of kora. Yeah. We will not come. I have announced that we are having a camp and you say we will not come before I even come. You will not come. We can't make it. We will. The English word is we will not come up. They said, Moses, you are Satan. They said we will not come. And Moses called for them. Just as I sit where I am and I call for a meeting. That's why it's a serious thing. And that's why I'm saying that you cannot be a pastor of this church again. When we are calling for meeting and you don't come, we will not accept you again. Now, this Is it clear? Yeah. We will not accept you as a pastor. We don't want you again. We thank you. We don't have to see you again. Do you get it? Yeah. Joseph, is it clear? Yeah. You see, these things are not new. That's why the Bible is still the most printed and most published book in the world. Because this thing is not when Jesus came. It's thousands of years ago. Before long before Jesus came. 2000 years ago. Before that. This was a behavior of people, sad behavior. We will not come. So you are just fulfilling a prophecy when you don't come? Are you listening? I didn't write the Bible. Have you seen me writing a Bible before? No, We Elias. And who? Abraham or what? We will not come. Whether you are busy, whether you are what whatever the reason you give, it has the same effect. Because when I got here, I got to outside the door here. Open the door, open the door, open the door. You see the you see outside there. When I arrive from the airport, I arrive here. Yeah, you see out there, when I arrived there, I had the same feeling that Moses had when Kora and Guy said it will not come when I got here, this pastor is not here. This one will not come. This one cannot come. This one will not come the same, which is the same thing that I had when that pastor came. I came and I called him. I said come for a meeting and he said he's not well, send a message is nowhere. Now 11:00 when I come, he has gone out. The one who is nowhere, he can go out the whole evening and come in the evening is nowhere. I had exactly the same feeling from those of you who didn't show up exactly. I will not lie to you. I maybe had a feeling and settleness as I step in here. That's why I'm continuing to address it and I will continue. I will not address after today. I'm not addressing it again. I'm addressing it as much as I can address it because after this I'm just we don't like you again. Go. That's it. Yeah, we will not come. And you see the question that they were asking me in this night is that seemeth it's a small thing to you to have been appointed as a as a pastor, to have been brought near. It seems to you as a small thing to be made a pastor or to be made a leader. It's not a small thing. There are a lot of people who will never be made into pastors no matter what happens. You go to so many churches. People don't just become pastors in churches. Go around and see, you cannot be a pastor easily. Christian. Is it Christian? Yeah, you are. You are. You were sitting here with the you were sitting here singing. Then I was out over there in a bit and I called for you. Is it a small thing to you out of the rest of the people who are singing? I told you, say a small thing to you that tomorrow if I'm having a meeting, say Christian says he's not coming. You see, it shows what I call presumption. Yeah, presumption that there are people that the time that you will see it as a very great thing to be made a pastor or to be called or to be asked to preach. By the time comes, it's like, and that's why Moses asked, is there a small thing to you that the Lord will cause you to be brought near? It's now nothing to you. And that's the kind of presumption that comes sometimes when you have been brought near. You take it for granted and you don't value it as you should value it. So I want you to value the ministry. Never lose. You can. You can learn from Bishop Saki. Bishop Saki has been close to me since 1980. Whatever that when we started the church. It is 8788. He has never lost his respect for me. But some of you you are You are so far from him and you have already lost your respect. What? What are you? Hi. What type of person are you? But when I stepped out, have you seen everybody look out of the window at where I was standing, when I felt, I felt the spirit of Korra. Can you see it out there? Those of you here, you cannot see. Those of you here, you cannot see or you cannot move. I said come on duty. I I was mad when I opened the when I opened the door. Look at that tree. That's where I was standing. That's the tree of Korra. You can see you're sitting. I say you can see, Charlie. Some of you, God is going to raise up your biological children because some of you, we knew you may not get to my, my state, my, my stage in spiritual things, but in biological things, God will raise up your children to you. Your children will slap you. Our children will insult you. Our children will be a reproach to you and you will see the reaping of your harvest. Yes, it's true. So we will come. We will not come not I we 123456 this was written 6000 years ago. It has applied to you. It is when you fall into a scripture directly that you should be afraid is that you just got up in Geneva that you manifested and you were in the Bible and you see this is they are not intentional. I'm not intentionally going on to this topic. I just keeps as we keep straying along the different it keeps coming up. It keeps they cannot go away from the camp. Yeah. Everything that we realized that it has come again. No, we thought we are finished with this matter yesterday. It keeps coming up. I'm not I'm not causing it. I'm not bringing this in up. I'm not bringing it up myself. Just before I realized it has just taken over the the meetings. Yeah, you see, we will not come. Suppose if I have your HS service we will not come. What to occasion? Is that me? I've come from London, I've moved my house and I say you cannot come. We will not come, you see. Then you look, I say, look at some people. I don't know what it means. We will not come now. One of the great important things is do not take for granted. That's why you must just always think of closeness is a great thing, Closeness is a great thing. Nearness is a great thing. Closeness is a you must see closeness as the main thing that you are seeing. That's what I said when that message came from Benny Hinn. Just the fact that he could even Remember Me or remember my name, or even if he doesn't even remember my name, do you understand? He can remember a picture of me to me. I just think of the of the closeness that it means. That's what is great to me. Now what I'm trying to say is never take it for granted. Don't, don't, don't, don't take it for I don't think at all. It will always be there or it's like that. When you do that, you lose something. One day I went somewhere with some pastas and I was preaching. They were receiving the word. Then from there I went to another place. I was preaching the same passage with me. They were receiving the word and I went to a third place with them. They were receiving the word and I went to the 4th place. When I look at them, they were sleeping. I said they have gone enough with me that now they are sleeping when I'm talking. Know what I have to preach the same message again. Yeah, what I'm preaching to you. Why loyalty stages of I preach it just two days ago, the whole thing, it checks 1 1/2 hours in South Africa. I can't preach again. The same thing again, again, again. So as you are going around with me and I'm preaching, you don't come, I beg you. So the day that I saw that, I said bye. Bye. Yeah. That's why many times when I travel, I go with different, different people. So they'll always be alert. Yeah. Because I know now he's going to do this. Now he'll do this. Now he'll say this. Now he's going to say this particular story. Then he's going to say this joke. Then he's going to say to whom? To to whom? For to whom does it belong? To whom? To whom does it I know. It's like you know when the song will come. So, so now I don't have to go with you again. I'll go with somebody who will be surprised, you know, you know, when I knew this song, I've been singing this song for years. It's not everything that you know, I've been singing this song for years. You don't know it. You see the jellyfish passing on the way. None. Yeah, you know all my songs when I'm even saying to whom today? What song is this? Be more spiritual, your mouth idiotic. So near less it can easily be taken for granted when realizing one day the people in that crowd were asking why don't you have camps with us? We haven't had a camp. I haven't had a camp there for years. Accra people. Accra people, yes. Camping, it depends on the people. That's what brings the environment. Yeah. When you listen to certain camps, you see how the camp is not. We are struggling to do the camps. When you listen to other camps, it's the environment, yeah. You are sleepy. I'm preaching. You are sleepy. I'll go with you again. It has not become, it has not become a small thing to you that you have been brought near to see here, here, here, here, here. Everything. You know everything and that is what happens when you have been made a pastor. It's like it's not a small thing to be a pastor. So when they say shuffling convert, it's a small thing to you to come on. When I come, I don't I doesn't make a difference home. Come, it doesn't make any difference home Come, you don't come. You see, it has become nothing to you. So I go. I will go where I am appreciated. Yeah. And do you know something? Whenever I go anywhere, I what I preach what I preach to you. That's why I preach outside. Yeah. They value it so much. You see, when you go somewhere, you also have to do what you have practiced. You have to do what you practice well, rehearsing over and I've preached what I've preached over and over different, different, different times. It comes and same example that I don't use notes as as when I say the point, the stories that they they just come to my mind like that. I have to control myself because I see that this one, this, this, we have to even stop some of them. More examples and God gives me more stories. Every day I hear new things. I said I was at the breakfast and I was telling the people some stories. If I couldn't say the story, well, I couldn't even say that story. Well, real stories. So don't take it for granted. And when I come off, Bishop Eddie comes, he said we have a loyalty conference and you take it for granted. Another one has come from Ghana. We, we, we, we are not, we don't have, I think we don't have anything to do here. Over here. We went, you know, in Switzerland. There's a shut your beak in Switzerland. I don't want to hear that. Don't want to hear that word. Don't say that. In Switzerland this. My genes are Swiss. My genes, my, the genetics of me are Swiss. Everything Switzerland, this, in Switzerland this, in Switzerland this. They're tired of you. What is Switzerland? It's just like this. It's just like that. You know, back here this the other day I called somebody, the person was in Switzerland, the person I was asking the person, are you coming for Samsung? Then the person, oh, my child, you know, it's then they started, started, you know, in Switzerland, we have a very funny system. So when you're at a certain age, they do an exam and then they divide you into two this who cannot do this, those who can carry card boxes and those who can do this. So in Switzerland, I said, listen, let me call you back. Let me call you back. Bye, bye. I'm tired of in Switzerland, in Switzerland, in Switzerland, in Switzerland. In Switzerland. You are myopic. You don't. You don't know anything. That's why we are talking in Switzerland, in Switzerland, in Switzerland, in Switzerland. Stop it and grow up. When you move outside. Swiss people who go outside Switzerland, they realize how myopic Switzerland is. Why do you think my mother has not come back to to live in Swiss? Husband died so many years ago. She has a choice. She can stay here. Maybe Swiss people when they're outside, they don't come back. No, a lot of Swiss people are leaving the country to go out of this place. So you cannot do this. You can do this. You cannot do this that grow up. We those of us who don't live here, we don't live here by choice. Not because we can, neither that we can. We not or can we not afford it? It's none of the none of the above. We can and we can afford it. Yeah. Even my children. I would not like my child to come to school here at all. I'm not like my child to come to school. I can't bring my child to school. I don't want my child to come to school here. Is Zitzerland, you know, is Zitzerland is Zitzerland is Zitzerland, Switzerland. All right, read verse 9 and circle it. Don't forget it. Is it not enough? All the King James says seem at it a small thing. Is it a small thing to you? No, it should be a great thing to you. Not the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel to bring you near to Himself now. So the first thing is to be brought near. Even that to do the service was not the main privilege, but the main privilege was to have been brought near to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister and to him. Verse 10 And he has brought thee near, He has brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren and the sons of Levi with thee, and seeketh the priesthood also. So as you can see, there were levels, you see, there were people who were brought near to do the work, and they were brought near like we are having with lay passes and so on. And now you have that these people are seeking something even further, you understand? And that is what's happening when people are asking for percentages of money and transportation, when the whole world goes to church and spends about one hour or more than that driving to go to church. And for you, you want to be paid to do that? We say we won't pay again. Yeah. Because all the time that we didn't talk about, we're just trying to avoid addressing the issues. But now we are addressing the issue clearly and squarely. Yes, yes. I tell her the hand confrontation for something confrontation. Something confrontation. That book, I've never been able to. I've had that book for more than 10 years. I've never read read it. I just keep. It just looks so interesting to me that there must be something in this book. I've never read it. Yeah. Inevitability of confrontation. Yeah, but that's why you don't want to have certain people there. They will re describe everything that they did with you. Yeah. Some people I don't, I don't want to eat in their presence. One day I went somewhere to eat and I went with some people to eat. And later on, and there was a there was a lady there from some other country. She was there and the later she was telling me which of you are very fussy here? You're very fussy when it comes to food. You see, I am fussy when it comes to food. That's why I shouldn't have gone to eat with you for you to tell me that I am fussy when it comes to food. Do you? If I give you something to eat now, can you eat it? If I give you something to eat now, can you eat it? You cannot eat it. What do you mean? You see, I have fat. That's why I'm not eating your presence. Yeah, I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have gone to sit at any table for you, for you to say. Bishop, it seems you like a lot of meat. Idiotic, he said. Bishop, it seems you like rice. You like rice. You see why? Why are you looking at what I'm eating like that? Eat a less fellowship. Then after you say it seems you are fast. Yeah. That's why I shouldn't have sat at a table with you. Yeah, that's why I said I thought that you bring somebody in here before you realize it has turned into something else. One day I brought a certain brother to stay in my house, and this brother was in my house enjoying, hey, if he wants to eat, he'll go and open the fridge, fry fry this, cook this, make this. Nobody said anything. He enjoyed the house. He was feeling free. Then one day he was talking with some people and he said Bishop's house, you see, actually I brought you. Everybody who is there is there for a purpose. That's what he said. Everybody there, there is no free person in the house. Everybody has a reason why he's there. The dog has a reason, the cat has a reason. Everybody has a duty. You have analyzed my house for me after you have been frying my meat. That's why I actually have brought you. Yeah. And it is true. There is nobody without a job in my house. Everybody has an assignment. Their cat is to catch rats, their dog is to catch cats and whatever. So now my dog has eaten all the cats. Whenever the cat give up, we try to save them, but the dogs kill them all the time. So I'm looking for new ones. And the cats are to kill the rats. One day I brought a certain relative to my house. The relative was I joined in the house. Then one day that relative develops some marital problems. So somebody was advising the person, look, you don't have to do this. You have to do and the person said, ah, why, Why are you saying this and that even Bishop also has problems. I said you have brought you to stay in my house. You said I have problems, I have problems. I have brought you to near to my house. Now you say I also have problems. Oh. You see now that is why, that's why he asked, is it a small thing to you see maybe the small thing that you were brought near small closeness came in here and then I look at what you are saying. He also has problems. You will not listen to advice. If you will not listen to it, don't listen to it. But don't add me to your marital problem. You added. You have called to call me and added me to your. Are you listening to me? Yeah. God wants to use you, but he's showing you that he's bringing you closer. That are the dangers. Yeah, that are the dangers. Bishop, you like me too. So I shouldn't have brought you near my plate to look into my plate. Then you look on my shirt and say a Bishop. You like Nike, you see? Oh, a Bishop. Yeah. Your ring. Is it a, a, a silver or, or, or or gold, white gold or this thing? Tin. Yeah. No, there's a there's a type of this tin. Yeah. Or is it? Is it? You see? Yeah, Watch it. That's why you have you see why it goes it. This is it. This is this, this. You are looking instead of looking at the right, you look at what one day a certain lady was going to take. She was going on stage and they invited will you come to the state to come and whatever. When she got up, all eyes were. I think you remember that day. Your eyes are on this furrow that you're not supposed to look at. I'm sitting there saying, hey, Bishop, you like Nike? Then you look at my shoes. Hey, Bishop, what are the type of shoes that we have? Alligator. You like alligator? That's why shouldn't I brought you. Yeah. Do you understand? Look, is it a crocodile? Is it a crocodile? It's a what? This is what? Honey? It's nothing. Yeah, it's nothing. There's no name on it. It's nothing. It's just a shooter. Lay hands on your neighbors eyes. Come on French. French set.

There are many camps like that. Yeah. And you'll be there. And it makes it so camps. And the makhana is a collection of different, different camps. Yeah. You just become close to the people that you are with. Are you there? So everybody must have a Macaden. And if you are a pastor, you must promote the Macaden in your chest more.

Yeah, you are. You are. You are in a certain environment. You are coming closer. And when I see, I myself will know that I'm close to you. And you yourself will know that you are close to me. Yeah. When I came into this time, I could see immediately some people who listen to the McKenna who actually I immediately knew. Yeah, immediately. Yeah. How many are going to get? I'm giving you 7 steps to close this. How many are going to take the first step? It's easy for you. Mckennais just cost about $100 or something.

Here in Switzerland. Here here in Switzerland. Here in Switzerland. What? I want to hear what you are going to say about here in Switzerland. I'm waiting to hear what you say about here in Switzerland. I want you to show that you are the first branch in the whole of lighthouse. Because first first is supposed to be first and best, 1st and best. So show, show that you are the 1st and best, not just first, not just first, the first and best. And stop that. Here in Switzerland, what we say here in Switzerland, we move. When we say camp, camp in London, we move. Camp in Germany, we move. Nothing like we are homecoming. We move. We are movers. Shuffling conference, we move. Optazio Makanay poemanu #4 Internet daghaywardmills.org. You can be close because there is a blog. Is there not a blog? There is a blog. Yeah. And then also the real preaching. I need to make a call please. Praise the Lord. So early on I said she was calling somebody. All right, So what are the ways of getting close? So McKenna, isn't it? Here in Switzerland, we soak in Macanane, Amen. We love the Macanane. It's common in our churches. Everybody has a Macanane. That should be the same in Switzerland now, isn't it? If you don't have Macanane, then you're new in the church. Maybe, maybe a new convert, isn't it? That's why they don't have Macanane. That's what might be said in your church, because everybody has Macanane. We soak it in. Amen. Yeah. So as we soak in the Mckennae, we are coming close, isn't it? Coming close is not just eating with the Bishop soaking in the Mckennae. What's the second one? What is the poem? I know. All day Sunday. Tuesday. Preaching normal Christian life, and particularly for those who are going to start churches in Paris and then in Germany. So you need a Pomano to know you want to preach. When the church is five and when the church grows to 12:00, we also have a message for them. And when the church gets to 55, there's a message of 50 between and and 100 and when it was still 100, also a message for that. All of us to keep on listening, you will know what's appropriate and even how to encourage encouraging messages because when the church is small, you need some type of messages to be able to encourage yourself, the preacher and then the church members. Do you see? So you can't go and preach any message at all. The one pastor was supposed to go and take over a small Church of about 12 when when the first message first reason why I must pay tights 14 started preaching the message like that. Then one brother the check came to tell him that pastor you know first I said first Sunday their brother came and said pastor, look, I like this check. I don't want to leave the check, so I'm going When you feel patient on tight, call me, I'll come back. I come and I come back to the check. I don't want to because you have just come now a few of us 40 reasons you are scaring them. You see what I'm saying? It's a good message, but don't scare them straight away like that, you see, All right, so the the poemana will help you to know what to preach and also how to preach to every size of congregation. Because as he's preaching, he has preached from when the church was young, small church to as he grew to thousands and all that. So at every stage you have something to preach and you learn how even to keep. I see, preaching and so on. The song we are singing, to whom to? It's all a way of keeping us awake. We have a song, most of us will be asleep. So part of the study, we are learning how to preach, how to preach at a camp so that people will not fall asleep. It's all part of it because many of us are feeling sleepy. But as we sing the song, we get awake. So is he. He's not an idiot. It's a strategy. Amen. To whom too? I don't know how to start. Bishop is greater. I tell you, it's too powerful. I don't want any problem. You can tell the top. I'm just rehearsing the point. So we need to forgive. So. So you need to have the point. Mano. What shall we say in Switzerland? Here in Switzerland, we have the. We suck in the Poemano, isn't it? It's common in our ministry. Amen. Yeah, it might be common in our churches. Come on. All of us, every shepherd, every pastor, everybody must want to have it. And you can afford it, isn't it? Look at the shoe that you're wearing. How much is it? How much does it cost? Yeah, you can buy poor man, you can get it, can afford them Mckenney. And what's the third one was of Tazio collection? Of DVD's. Now they say there's listening and watching a difference. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, listening. You can be slicing the onion and so you are soaking it in your food even tastes nicer. How's your hand? The wedding you're cooking. Some anointing comes on you. It comes on the food as well. Your husband will wonder what sort of food? How did you make this food? Because you're soaking in some some messages. Are you there? And it's working for you. But so it's very important for for us to get the, the, the, the Pomano and then the Optazio. You need to have it so that you can watch Amen. You need to watch as well, because it's a we watch all sorts of things, but you can put it on. You know, sometimes you realize that when you enter your house without, some of us are afraid of quiet, quietness. When you enter the first video, you turn on the TV. We don't even know what is on. But if you always have the Optazio, you can just tend to when you arrive. So something is plain and you watch each other a bit. You want a bit, you can't sleep with it. This is what I'm saying. Let's get somebody who, who has bad dreams, sleep with your Tazio. You have angelic dreams. Here's what I'm saying. No, it's very, very important to the scene that you watch. It enters your spirit. Do you do you understand? Yeah. So we have to what we hear, what we see influence. And that is why we have the audio and we have the DVD as well. And you must watch it. It might be common in in branches, isn't it? At the back you see these things due to them. We have these DVDs, Nice, powerful 1. You see, DVDs might be common in your house, all around you, in your church. You see, this was 25 powerful effects of the anointing on your life or you or you. Give me two. Two effects of the anointing on your life. Yeah. 25 give me two. Do you know it? Yeah. You don't know if you don't try and answer. Yeah, don't be like where is this place? They don't know the place. Oh, this. Oh, that's your just go, go. Ah, you'll find it. You don't. I don't know where it is. Yes, I don't know. Oh, you can you give me two? You know, you don't know yet, so soak it in. You know, all these things are available for us. And then also this. My father. Turning the hearts of the children to the fathers powerful message. You know, get all this all DVDs around and it just have them around. It should become like a major situation. Just have them all around you. Push it in, soak in part of it. It it will make you close, bring you close to the anointing. So when we're talking about becoming close, it's talking about coming close to the anointing. This endless anointing that we all want or don't you want anointing in this life? We all want it. And many people ask him, so how can I have the anointing? I want to be close to you. He's showing us ways that we can be close. And one of them is there is by this Opazio listening and watching. Amen. Listening and watching. I mean, when I was coming here, they gave me a DVD for Pastor Richard. I mean, he, he's learning when the message is preached. Within two days he had the DVD in his house. If I, you know, even allow them to edit and make it nice. He wanted raw assets every time he said so. I find it difficult to preach in his church. But every time I go to London, the message that he has preached already. So it's like, I don't, I don't like preaching his church. They are so up to date, up to date currents, you know, so and there's a way you can get the messages. I mean, you cannot be in the church. And the last message you got from Accra was 2007. You see the last time you listened to a message on, I mean, from Accra, it is so bad. Amen. So, so, so, so, so get the the DVDs Don't, don't be so be current. So that like as we are preaching, preaching in Accra, you have it all. As it's preaching in South Africa, you have it. And like you said, you can't feel it. There's a connection otherwise as you, if you don't have connection, when I mean the person comes out, what's your name? Again, the person has to connect and find out. But if as he's preaching, you can feel that some people are already in the flow. So it brings an easier flow. Do you see? So the more you listen, the closer you act with him. Don't desire to get inside. So what did you what did you talk about? Internet. Yeah, Now Internet, which is www.heroknows. Now, for instance, this morning I had the breakfast with the Geneva people. Stand up all those who came for the breakfast around my table. Yeah. OK, Good, good, good. Now I see. When I was having a breakfast with with them, as I was talking with them, I I gave a certain example and I immediately knew that they were disconnected. Is it? Did you feel that way as well? Yeah, I knew. You don't know anything. You don't listen to certain things and so on. You just, you're just cut off because you are not connected to the Internet. Meanwhile, many of you work in offices where you you can just connect the Internet on your computer. WHO in it there is none like you? WHO no one else can touch my heart like you do. WHO hindsight through all tality, love WHO and fine, there is none like you. That's not like your boss. My boss. I gave an example and I gave example intentionally to see. Yeah, whether you need to see. And the Bible says to him that has more shall be given. You get it. But to him, that has not a severe reduction in intellectual and spiritual capacities resulting in a severe distortion of what you are supposed to become. Did you remember that example? What is what was it? Do you remember? You said you notice. You don't remember. You don't remember? Yeah, I give the example. You were talking about marriage. Somebody was asking what? What do you do to make yourself married? Where is she? Get truth. Uh huh. And where is Hannah? Where is Hannah? Uh huh, Hannah. I know all your names are Jane and Rose and Annette and Nalan Blaine. All in all of you, Billy, I know all your names. You get it. But but you don't know me. You get it. So connect to the Internet now as I'm saying what I'm saying, and some of you will not do it, but I don't care if you don't do it because I told you I'm free. Amen. That changes everything because every day if we have preached today, tomorrow it's up on the site. And not even tomorrow, I think you do it within it. By midnight it's there. If I finish, which I have 10 by 12, it's on. Yeah, every day. Yeah. Fresh. Stella, do you understand me? Do you connect to the Internet? Do you look at Internet? Yes. You cut earphones so you don't need earphones. But you didn't listen. You don't listen to from time to time. OK, so we connect from time to time, right? Do you get it? Glass you soak in when you get closer, closer to me. Closer to me. You see, if my grace was here, she'll be singing all this so that I'm so handicapped without her. Yeah. There's a difference where you don't have the help you need. And when you have the help, it's like day and night. Severe reduction. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So WWW dot dot O RG Connect, Connect. How about our French website? Have you been going to our French website? Have you seen our French website, Lighthouse? Or is it like you were used in French? One of them that's French and Spanish. Is it a link? It's a separate website, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. So go to it. What? So #3 #4 take on the burden of the pursuer and #5 oh, you can sit down. You can sit down. You can stand if you want. You can sit down. Now. The burden of the pursuer is the burden of friendliness and communication, Amen. The burden of the pursuer, you get it. You have to take up the burden of someone who is pursuing. Amen. Now the burden of the pursuer is what? The burden of what? Friendliness, communication, and openness. There are three things that make up the burden of the pursuer. The pursuer is the person who is pursuing the anointed person, seeking for the anointing, seeking for relationships, seeking for sonship, seeking for daughtership. The burden of that thing is not on the father or on the mentor. The burden or the problem to to connect them is on the pursuer. Yes. Do you understand? It's not, it's not my problem to be close to you. It's your problem to be close to me. I, I don't have that problem. You have that problem. Yeah. If you take even my friendship with Bishop Duncan William, ever since I've been, I mean, I call him. I've called him. I've called him on the. I've talked with him for all that he started to bless me. So may angels attend to you. These are the blessings that I received for my journey. May angelic. He has various blessings that he blesses. Yeah, I was sitting on the plane. I called him. Yeah, that's all. I mean, no, it's like his problem. He never calls me. I call him. Look like he never calls something. He calls me or he's come now he's calling me. I call him. Yeah, but the bedding you see of of of the bedding of the pursuer you see is the bedding. You have to be friendly. Openness. You have to be yourself. That's not how you are yourself when you are there. But when you are here, you are not yourself. You are very stiff. Meanwhile, that's not how you are. So now you see some people, they look very stiff. Now you see the person coming. The person is pregnant. What did you do? How did you do it? Stiff Person like you stiff. One day a certain woman, she called her daughter and she told her daughter something. She had been married to her husband for many years. Now her daughter was going to get married. So she called her daughter and she told her daughter. Let me tell you something, daughter. Something that I want to tell you that I can tell that I'm proud of is that your father, who's my husband, has never seen me naked before. To whom? For to whom? To whom does it belong? To whom? For to whom does it? That mystery, I will live with you. The. She she said to her daughter. One thing that I can tell you that your father has never seen me look at you. Sit down. German version by the German version. Juventus, Juventus Juventus. The vendors, the vendors, the vendors, the vendors, the vendors. The. OK, now the burden of the pursuer. Amen. You must identify yourself as a pursuer of closeness. Amen. You see, you must identify yourself as a pursuer of closeness, and the burden of the pursuer, you understand, is on the the burden of closeness is on the pursuer. So write it down with the burden of closeness is on the pursuer. The burden of closeness is on the pursuer. I God has given a lot of revelations at this camp. The burden of closeness is on the pursuer and the burden of the pursuer is the burden of openness. You have to be open. You have to be friendly, you have to communicate. Is that also all these? You have to be all these, all the best. The problem that the pursuer has, it's a it's a problem that you have to take up for yourself. Friendliness or if you are unfriendly, you not have friends. Yeah. If you're not friendly, you not have friends, you don't call. I will not call you. If I call, I call you never come and say I should not call you again. So if friendliness, that gives friendship for some of yourself. Nobody minds me in the church. Nobody talks to me. Nobody said, yeah, if you call how you are. And sometimes you should look at your face in the mirror and see how serious you look, how frightening and intimidating your face is. I will see your face. We are shaking. Hey, look at your face in the mirror. Has anybody got a mirror? Bring me a mirror, ladies. To whom? To to whom? To whom? That's it. Look at your face. Whom? To? To whom? To whom does it be? Your mirror is too small. Look at yours. Can you see yourself? To whom to you see how you look? You see how you look? See your face. You see now? Vivendas, vivendas, vivendas. Hey, see your face? Look, don't smile when I'm showing you the mirror, when I show everybody, don't smile. Look at it. No, your smile is Don't smile. Don't smile, don't smile. See how your face is. People are afraid of you. Don't smile, you see. So if you want to have friends also, you never see yourself. We see you all the time. When we see you, we are afraid you don't see yourself. I see you can't see myself. I can't see you. So by the revelation, one day my wife told me, you see you are too serious. You are too serious. You have to smile. Sometimes when I go on stage, I'll sit down, I stand and when I come and stand and I say she sits there like this suicide, Tell me then she will do her face with me. Smile, smile. You're too serious, you see, because somebody can see your face like that. Too serious Because sometimes when I'm going to, I'm too serious. So she types. So that I become lighter because all that I'm saying there's no joke. You need to. You are the ones laughing. Me, I'm not laughing. Me, I'm not joking. You are the ones who is laughing. To whom? To it's a message to whom for. Does it belong to all right? How many are going to be open from today? How many are going to be friendly from today? How many are going to work on your friendliness? Are you going to work on the friendliness because some of you naturally you are not friendly. If, if, if your nature is to not be friendly, you keep to yourself. You just want those of you. Some of you, you just want a husband so that you can imprison him in the house. Now that you have got him, you chain him. You will not have any friend again. Only me. You talk to only me in the world. I'm the only one in the world. How can it be? For 27 years he has had so many friends. Now that he has might, he shouldn't talk to anybody in the world except only you. How can it be possible? No fine. He no fine. He shouldn't be friends with anybody again. He shouldn't talk with anybody again. He shouldn't flow with anybody again. You're fine every day. What are you calling power? Taxes. Can I see your phone? I want to check. Check. Messages sent inbox. Hey, are you a police not in the church? Are you a spiritual police in the house that the man is die in a prison? Imprisonment for life. Life imprisonment. One marry that they made a mistake of marrying you. Just one mistake that they made of marrying you, Charlie. Everything. Who is that? Some, some some one day a certain person was telling me he was not He was not telling you. OK, The first I was telling you he said Jallet from Satin Pastor was suffering in the house. He was he was watching television. His wife is angry. She came with the she came to get a potty on the cup on his head hot water. This is the white eye to whom too? Oh, just one mistake that they made of marrying you. Her eternal fire. This is what pre hell, hell. Another wife, she was grown up in the house said today you will sleep with me today. Today she said, even if I should not use the web today, you still be today you that that way, Oh whatever me. She took off all headphones naked up and down in the room, up and down fucking today. Today she will be shouting until the man agreed to do it. What kind of problem is this? Today. Look, there's no joking what I'm saying. She must watch you walking this way, this way, this way. Naked, not wearing, naked like a baller. Walk here, walk here, walk here, walk here. Are you there? The burden of friendliness. The burden of the pursuer. The burden of closeness. Number six books, close closeness books. You don't read the books. Everybody goes to the twilight. Have books in their twilight. Some of you are fast movers. Some of you are slow movers. Some of you are digital, some of you are analog, some of you are automatic, some of that are manual, some are broadband, some are so. So have the books in your toilets. Yes, everybody has a toilet. If you were in Ghana, I would say maybe you didn't have a toilet in your house. You have a public toilet, but everybody has a toilet. You can have some in the room always when you go there, even if you are a fast mover. Most of the books have short chapters. Short chapters, yes. If you are a delayed, delayed action, whatever, then you can stay long and you always get Bibles. You must have your Bibles in your toilet. You must have a Bible, toilet, a toilet Bible, toilet Bible. You must have a toilet Bible, bedside Bible, travelling Bible, car Bible. I mean a Christian must have about 12 Bibles. You guys must have one Bible. Whatever Christian are you, you must have several Bibles. Phone Bible, phone Bible, car Bible, bedside Bible, toilet Bible, and then the different versions. If you like this one, then you have it there and it's open. The books in my toilet are like this plenty. My Bible is already open as of that. You think I'm wasting time? No, I mean the process of the law. The process of the law receiving revelations and inciting other spirit of wisdom and spirit of intelligence. I don't waste my time at all. Yeah, yeah, it's 1. And especially when you are busy, it's one of the most important places. And when you have prepared already with your books, Bibles and everything are already there. It's not like when you get because sometimes you rush there. By the time you rush there, oh, where's my Bible that it is over there and it's too late to go out because you are already at halftime. You're at halftime or at penalties, injury time. You see? I'm not joking though You are the ones laughing at me. I'm not joking. I'm serious. All the things I'm saying, I'm serious. How many want to be close? First step of being close is what? Second step of being close is what? Third step of being close is what? 4th step of being close is what? 5th step of being close is what take on the burden of of the pursuer, which is the burden of the of closeness. The burden of closeness is the burden of the pursuer. And the burden of the pursuer is the burden of openness, friendliness, communication. Amen. It's a, it's a burden. When I say burden, it's like, is the trouble or the problem or the work? Yeah, the work involved. It's not that person's work. I don't have that. You have I have another burden. What do you think? Is it powerful? Yeah. So you'll find out that great men of get get to know people who are friendly to them. Yeah. And how do you think when he when he knows me, I'm friendly to him. Go to him. I talked to him. I showed him. I showed him his videos. I saw the video that I was watching. I said look at you. He looked. He couldn't believe I said this. 1990, slim like this. I said, obviously he was that he remembered me from that. The bedding of closeness is the bedding of the pursuer, and the bedding of the pursuer is the bedding of openness, friendliness, communication. It's not his problem. It's my problem. Yeah. And when I went out just now, because his office has just called us asking something just now. That's why I went out and they sent me a question to answer something. Yeah. So the burden of closeness is the burden of the pursuer. The burden of the pursuer is the burden of openness, friendliness, communication. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. It's it's not my burden. When I delete my text, I delete thousand 500,600, so that every two weeks I can delete 1500 texts like that 1600 texts. Some of some of you don't get calls at all. Yeah, you don't get calls, so you don't understand. One day somebody sent me a text and I replied my answer. All my answers are one word. OK, Wow, powerful. Great. If you receive, if I don't reply, means I didn't receive it. Usually I'll try to reply all my texts. And some of you, because you don't get calls, nobody calls you. Because you are also not very friendly. One day, a certain sister, she was in the house, nobody was calling her and she had two phones. She was is my phone working or it's not working? Is it working or it's not? Nobody, nobody got. So she decided to take one phone to call the other phone. So she took one phone and called the other phone and as you saw that all the two were working. So you, you are your phone call is phone to phone. So you may not understand when somebody gives you a short reply, but I see that problem is your problem. It's not my problem. It's not Pastor Jimmy's problem, it's not Pastor Richard, it's your problem. If you want to be close, that bedding of closeness is the bedding of the pursuer, and the bedding of the pursuer is the burden of openness, friendliness, and communication. How many points do you have? 6 #7 Delegated closeness. Delegated closeness. Wow. Now many times you cannot get to the person, but you can get to somebody who has been delegated. So if for instance, he may not be able to get to me, he can get to somebody who works for me. You see, that's how people, that's how people weave their way around. When I communicate with Benny, I don't communicate directly with him. I communicate with somebody who is with him. That's how I've gotten close. Yeah, I'm just saying these are always. It's like summers. Oh, I can't. I can't. Yeah, I'm not easily. Richard, Can you imagine if I was answering phone calls here? I cannot have a camp. I cannot have it. There are people that have sent me text issues. This as I've been here, I've been sorting out so many things. I don't even have time. So I was saying you dude, solve the problem. I can't talk now I'm at a camp. I can, I can, I can support every time I'm just answering calls. So I cannot do anything. So sometimes you may see that OK, who is the GO here or who is the pastor here or who is this or who is close to this person. I also decide to be close to that person who is close to that person who is close to that other person. Also another form of it's another of the seven steps. Yes, delegated closeness. So don't sit there and be giving reasons. Yes, some people are close to me through my wife. Some people are close to me because they are close to my wife. Some people are close to me because they are close to Bishop Saki. Some people are close to me because they are close to Bishop Eddie. Yeah. Some people are close to me because they are close to my secretary or they are close to somebody that works for me, or some are close to me because they are close to my personal assistant. That's how they are close. And they know very well that that is a very secure line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have to learn how to be close sometimes to somebody by being close to somebody who's delegated. And those of you who don't respect such things, you never, because you just have to accept it. You want to see God, You have to see Jesus. No, I want to see God himself. Now God doesn't come himself. Forget it. I can't say I don't deal with secretaries. I deal with the main man. I can't deal with Jesus. Jesus is just a secretary. Jesus. Jesus is a personal assistant. I can't deal with him. I want the main person. I want Jehovah. El Shaddai. Where is Jehovah? Jehovah, where are you? I can't deal with little fries who die on crosses. That would do human beings who die on crosses. And if you are God, you will not die on a cross. I won't do the main person himself, the Creator, not this weak fellow who just died on the cross. I don't want to deal with this. Nobody. Stand to your feet. Father, we thank you for closeness. How many realize that it's one of the foundations. It's one of the very foundations. Let your heart and thank God for the revelation. Chandala bazaar, dolova cambara Lavanda. Really. I. None. I. None. Hallelujah. None. Sit down please. I missed one point #8 homecoming, coming home and homecoming. How many realise that you you become further and further away from your home when you don't go home? Is it not true? So going home is very important to develop closeness with wherever it's important. Is that true or it's not true? Is it true or it's not true? Yeah. So where where is your home? Nicole, when you came to Ghana, how many years have you not come stand? How many years have you not been to Ghana for 20 years? Will you agree that you were quite far from Ghana? Yeah, very far. Very, very far. Because it's such a long time since you came home to your home country of Ghana. How old were you when you left Ghana? 1919. So now you are over 40 years old. Yeah, you see. And you had not been to the place where you grew up and went to school for 20 years. Obviously, you'll be quite disconnected. All right. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Yeah. I got lost. You got lost. I was lost. Yeah, you were lost. So the more you don't come home to the home of the church, you are disconnected. You get lost. And after a while, after you are lost, you start to insult the place that you are lost in. That's why there were people in this country insulting me. You get it. Because they are lost. They can go for champions of gatherers. Gatherers, they cannot come to homecoming obviously, they will be very disconnected from their home and their father and they will say negative things about him. Obvious, it's obvious. So as Muslims are going to Mecca and Catholics are going to Rome, the Vatican Church of God in Christ is going to Memphis, Pentecosts are going here, Redeem are going to Nigeria. You must lot of these things are going to wherever they go to. All these are revelations to you that there is also a spiritual version of home. Yeah, spiritual version of home. One of the things we have very funny in Ghana is people who have not lived in Ghana for a long time, they come to Ghana and they want to be president of Ghana. Also that they want to be parliamentarians, and you see that they don't really feel, they don't understand the country. Yeah, They can't connect with the people. It's a different country. You get it? Yeah, because you're disconnected. So I'm just explaining to you that there is a version, spiritual version of home. When we say home, there's physical home, but there's also a spiritual version of home. Whether you've been there or not, it's the origin in the home. That's why I keep going to Korea. I've been going to Korea every year, my dear. Please bring it to me. This is what I did in 1988, and they were criticizing me. I almost stopped the ministry. Bless you, my dear. Hey, are you there? That's why I go to Korea. I don't go to Korea because I'm a speaker. I just go. But I want a place that I have to go to. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I just go. No, I just go. I'll go to Preacher. Actually, the preaching is actually a border because it brings tension to a nice vacation, something that I would have just been relaxing and it's like Italy coming out to and the kid will ask you like they have asked me what I'm going to preach about something that's in October. I should send my notes. I mean, I don't have notes before. Like this camp, they were kept asking what is that? I don't know the team of the camp. I don't know the team. When I got the team I gave it and I don't know whether it was in time. But I go. I want to have someone just to go sit down. They say come. They say come for here they go. We spend one week there. Come here. Go here. Come here. I do everything with my wife. Go to here. Prayer Mountain. Go here. Come here I go. That's all. Because I'm also a sheep. Yeah. And one day I went there. I've been there. About 7 * 1 day I went there. Then I suddenly saw a secret I'd never seen before. You look out with me to Korea this year. Yeah. Come be blessed. But come to your home. Korea is not your home. Start with your home. Come. It helps you. It makes you more connected. Or you understand my message. Is it clear? All right, Father, we thank you for your word in the name of Jesus, Amen. How many foundations have I given you, by the way? Thank you. Seven. I'll give you some foundations #1 is what? No 90 foundations, the mighty foundations #1 is what? Sacrifice #2 is what? And full time, which we talked about a bit, isn't it #3 is what? Tithing #4 is what? Remembrance. What else? Loyalty and disloyalty. The next one is what? Closeness and the next one is what? Ah, all right, now I'm changing the foundation I'm going to give you. You see, I gave you full time ministry and lay ministry, isn't it? That one is 2. Two in one. So I've given you 7. No, I've given you 7 and I've talked about everything, isn't it? OK, that's what I'm saying. I've given you loyalty, lay people and full time one. I've given you 7 foundations. How many do you want? So one ministry is full time, 1 is lay, and I've given you seven. I've talked about 7, isn't it? OK, so now, so I'm not going to talk about the remembrance because I'm sure somebody talk about it later. Another time we'll call you for short notice camp. Will you camp now? I'm going to go over three of the foundations. I mean, there's more things that are all these are plenty. I've not written all these, I'm supposed to tell you, so I'm just doing one or two. There we go. You see, we've been here for a long time, but it's like we just started. All right, all right, all right, now tithing, the sign of tithing. 7 signs, 7 things that is a sign of #1 Have I give you this one already? Seven reasons why you must pay attire. This one is this one is the sign of tithing. Seven things. That is a sign, Amen. Nemiah 13, verse 10. And I perceived that the portion of the Levites had not been given to them, for the Levites and the singers that did the work were fled everyone to his field. Then contended I with the rulers and said, Why is the House of God forsaken? And I gathered them together and set them in their place. Then brought out due to the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries, Amen. Now this is a story of how during the time of Nehemiah passes were not working well because they were not being paid. Amen. That's a full time Levites, Amen. Now all of Israel is holy and all of Israel is special to God, but God had some people who were to have no other work apart from working for the Lord. So it is when you have no other work and you are working for the Law, that is when you have to be paid. Amen. Full time ministry is not an additional supplement. It's not a poverty alleviation scheme for your current state, is it? Did we not go through all that? Number one, pay your tithes is your first taste of ministry #2 pay your tithe is your first step into real ministry. Amen. This is your first taste #2 is your first step #3 paying your tithes is your first, Is the first sign that you appreciate ministry. Amen. What do you think it is a sign that you appreciate ministry? Yeah, You see, because it is when if I'm sending Pastor Jimmy to Congo and he's going to be a missionary in Congo, all right, and he has not paid his tithes all along, but now as he says is that he's going to be sent to Congo, he decides to start paying his tithes. What it means is that he has all along and not appreciated what real ministry is. It shows that he has never really had a taste of real ministry and he has, he has never taken a first step towards ministry because real ministry, if you are going to Congo or if Billy is going to go to Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, then and he now knows that he's going to need to be supported. That is when you now decide to pay tithes. Then it shows that all along you never understood the ministry. Yeah, you never understood ministry. So pain of your ties is a sign of something. It's a sign of what? And that's what I'm giving you. 7 things that it's a sign of. It's a sign that you had your first taste of ministry #2 Is the sign that you've had you're taking your first step into ministry #3 is a sign that you appreciate ministry #4 is the first indication that you support ministry Amen. It's a sign that you do what you support ministry Amen #5 pain of your tires is the first indication that you are interested in ministry Amen. Do you understand? Because you only support like me, I don't support Arsenal or Manchester United. I don't buy their, I don't buy Barcelona. No, I don't buy their T-shirt. I don't. I don't have anything of theirs. I don't know who is playing the nothing. Do you understand? It shows my lack of interest, appreciation, tastes, nothing. Number six is a first sign shows your first involvement, involvement in ministry. It's a sign of your involvement because even though you may not be in Congo, you are involved because you pay your tithes. Oh, thank God, Switzerland, that God is giving you opportunity to be what involved. Amen. And the last thing that is a sign of Christian. Are you getting it when you pay tax? Is a sign of your involvement in my work Amen. The last sign that is a sign, the first sign of your understanding of ministry in US, showing a certain level of understanding, Amen. How many would agree with me that it helps? It shows that you actually understand. For you to take 10% of your money and put it into the offering, you understand. You just recalculate your salary and just put it less 10% all the time. It shows that you have a certain understanding. If you don't have a certain understanding, you will not do it. Because when you calculate 10% of all you've earned for 10 years, you can buy a house with it. It's not calculated it. You can buy a house with it. If you earn 5000 a month and you pay 500 tides, that means you're paying 6000 a year times 10 years is 60,000. I can show you a lot of places to buy a house for 60,000. If you pay tides for 10 years. It's like giving a house. It's like a small thing to pay tides. Yeah, it's not a small thing at all to pay tides. So when somebody pays tides, it shows you has a certain understanding, otherwise you cannot pay it. I don't expect you to pay if you don't have that understanding. You must have an in depth understanding and that is why it shows. It's a revelation about you. That's what tithing there. It's one of the greatest windows into your heart, into your soul. The presence of it or the absence of it. It's one of the greatest windows into your soul. Do you know how I got to know? One day there was a certain sister who was married to a certain brother and they were living happily ever after. Then one day as they were living happily ever after the sister, various things happened and the sister ended up separating from her loving husband. I'm talking about marriages that I officiated. Now one day I was sitting down with the sister and I was asking her that. I said to her that how did this guy your husband, how did he get to such a stage because he was one of the main brothers in the church? How did he become, how he has become now? She said to me, One thing I can remember is that a time came he stopped paying his tithes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was the first time that I noticed that thing, that tithing is very connected to your spirituality and your certain understanding of God. She told me, she said, because I'm talking, we are talking about serious pastoral people. He totally backslidden, went off and separated from his wife. That was the first time that I saw that tithing is very connected to spirituality. How many can understand why I react when somebody does not pay tithes? It's not the money, but it's a sign because it's so basic. Yeah, and I would say most of you pastors should pay directly. Don't just calculate it to you. Start a new life of calculating your income, excluding the tide, and you will see how prosperous you become. Yeah, even it will help you to plan and budget better because you calculated instead of calculating with 3000, calculating with 2000, since if you can even reduce it to 2005. And that's my real budget that I work with. Rent. This this this everything you see whole life will escalate go higher and you can even reduce if your if your tight IS300 and you are paying 2000 you have paid 3000 your tight IS300 you can calculate okay my you take it at my income is 2100. That's how you see after paying tight, you even have savings. You have savings financially you you you up your because you can live on any amount. You can live on 3000, you can live on 6000, you can live on 9000, you can live on 12,000, you can live on 15,018 thousand in a month. If you don't know, I'm telling you so you downgrade yourself to a certain figure before you realize, without intending to, you are now having savings which you never used to have before, because after paying your tithe. So all those are not part of your calculation to you, you earn less. That may even show you that this car, I should not have it, this house, I should not live in it. This place I wish may be more realistic, more realistic. So tithing is so basic, it shows your involvement. So when you stop tithing, it shows your withdrawn your involvement. Is it one of the signs says involvement? It shows involvement because if I'm paying, if I'm traveling on a crusade, your money has helped to pay 5 the fuel for me to go there. Your money, yeah. It shows your involvement in my life. It shows your involvement in the ministry. When a church is being built in Asan Craigw, far away where you may never go till you die and a church is being built in Waliwale and all over the north of Ghana and in Nigeria all over. As I'm talking now, we are buying a church building in Malawi and also in Swaziland building. We are building churches. It shows your involvement. Where do you think the money comes from? It comes from everywhere. How many are involved? Are you involved? Yeah. OK. Shall I tell your neighbor? The thing is too basic? It's too basic. How many realize that it's too basic, So basic that 43 Reasons why some pastors don't pay tithes. Number one, they do not know about it, which is so basic. How can you not pay tithes? That means you don't know about it. Amen. Acts chapter 3, verse 17. Now brethren, I watch that through ignorance. You did it. Amen. Many times we don't do things because of ignorance. So pastors and then telling you if 30 people pay tithes in Lighthouse from today, go and teach it. I'm giving you points. It should increase to 70. And it's not about forcing anybody. When you teach it, you realize that it is silliness not to pay ties. It's quite whatever. So many people are not paying ties because they do not know about it. Because you, the pastor, you want to look good. So you don't want to say anything for people to feel that you are after money. You get it. But you must decide not to look good like me. See, I'm talking about ties. I don't care if you think I don't look good. I don't care. I'm cool. Amen. No question, No question, please. Amen. Are you understanding? I'm teaching. Amen. And what I'm saying is that people do not pay tithe because somebody they don't even know. It's not that they don't want to. And it's not about forcing people. It's about teaching. Because if you know that everything you have comes from God and that this belongs to God, why would you want to keep it? I don't understand. Why would you want to keep it? Hey, have you watched Jurassic Park? How many have watched Jurassic Park before the film? Jurassic Park Part 2, I think it's Part 2. There was egg. I think it's Part 1. There was a guy, fat guy in the when you go go and get go and get it and watch it. Part 1 there was a fat guy who had an egg. He took a dinosaurs egg and put it in his bag. Do you understand AT Rex or so is Part 1 and he put the egg in his bag. So these people who are on the island, they were going around and this wild dinosaur was chasing them throughout the whole island. And the whole film is based on just that one thing, that the egg which belongs to somebody is in somebody's bag. So the whole of Jurassic Park is about tithing. That film is about tithing. It's Leviticus 2730 that it belongs to the Lord and you are moving around and it is in your bag. How many things that if I came to your church and I talked like what I'm teaching, other people will be interested in pain ties. How many agree with me? Yeah. How many agree that they'll be interested in pain ties? Oh, yeah. Because you're not forcing anybody. You just, you're just showing them the word of God. So as you go around life with somebody's egg in your bag, very dangerous. I watch a film called Relentless Enemies. Relentless enemies. Do you know who the enemies were? Lions and buffaloes. There's no human being in the film, only animals. Relentless enemies. The lions were the enemies. The lions eat the buffaloes and especially they eat the children. But in that film you will see buffaloes, which are cows. You will see them chasing lions. You see them chasing lions. And the lions will be raving away like cats. And the lions in that film are bigger than normal lions. I mean, it's a real thing. They say that they don't know whether they are bigger than because they eat buffaloes. And you see a Buffalo which doesn't want trouble, he's eating grass. You see that it is chasing a lion. Why? Because it has caught his child, something that belongs. To it and it will take you to come like this, and the lion will leave the child and run away. So you keep on taking somebody's child. The souls that God has planned to win. You have got it in your back. You have become the relentless enemy of God. So people just don't pay ties because they don't know. So I'm speaking to every lighthouse pastor here. Sit up. The income of the church has gone down compared to what it used to be. Down, down, down, sit up. Tithing is done by force. But it's a spiritual thing. And don't tell me that rubbish that in Switzerland, here this, this, this, this, that, and that. We don't accept that rubbish anymore. In Switzerland. People don't like, they want to talk about money, they don't want this in Switzerland, this in Switzerland, in Switzerland. It's not true. In your thing, your mind is not calling. You are a very bad pastor. Me, if I stand at it and I teach you about tithe, you will not leave. You even want to pay tithe. You will want, you will look and say, why do I want to go around in this world with God's 100 francs? What is what is wrong with. And I teach you, not only for lighter, any church, if you're not in this church, any church, it's a spiritual. It's not a normal Christian thing. Yeah, it's very basic. You are not a good pastor. That is why there's no money in your church. This guy said it, Lester Salman, he said if you are called your calling, will always pay for your calling. If you are a real pastor, you it always generates money. Yeah. And I believe that one day I called the people who work our people who work at the Internet and I told them, look, if you want to justify your inclusion in this office, you cannot just be running Internet and just changing designs on the Internet. Internet people sell things, they sell books, they sell. I sell from today sell. If you don't sell, it means you are not justifying the reason why you are here. From that time they started to people started to order, they started to sell. Now I kept they were, they were not selling less than $1000 every month from Ghana. Yeah, it's boosted CDs from all over the world. Yeah, I said you can't just sit there because every ministry you can either sit there over here, we don't do over here this, over here this, over here this. But when you sit up, you see that the thing that was 0, it can be 10 times as much. Do you understand what I'm saying? Even with our crusades, the people don't have money. We are serious. We take offerings seriously. We take offerings of goats, tomatoes, pepper, onions, yams, everything. We just say whatever you have, bring it to the Lord we receive and it's a blessing to them. So money is not something that should be a problem to any of us. The sign that is a problem is a sign of the lack of your spirituality and your ignorance. And if your church, I blame every pastor for the the finances of the church. It is the pastor's fear of the people and wanting to be Mr. Goody Goody, Mr. Goody Goody, Mr. Nice, Nice in the church who doesn't want to say the word of God. And to Mr. Nice Nice and Mr. Goody Goody. That is why the people cannot pay tithes is because of you. And I blame you, the pastor. Yeah, You are stopping the people from being blessed. You know where I learned how to play tie? I learned about ties in Geneva. Yeah. Many years ago when we started our church, I came to Geneva. There was a pastor here called Greg. He was a pastor of a church called International Christian Fellowship. And I went to see him and I told him that. Oh, me. I told him we are medical people. We are doctors. And so we don't, we don't. We don't, we don't. I don't take ties and all these kind of things. He looked at me and he said you are depriving the people. I said, why? I said you are depriving the people of being blessed. I said me. He said, yeah. He said there's a spiritual principle, you are not above it. Because I was so proud I was a doctor and that as doctors and whatever, we don't need any money from the church. And he told me you are depriving the people and you cannot overcome that reality and that principle that if you let the people give, they will be blessed. I was shocked. I never forgot what he said to me. I was full of my knowledge and myself, but God corrected me through that guy and I lent it right here in Switzerland of all places #2 they do not believe the Bible. If you don't pay tithes, you don't believe the Bible. You don't believe the Bible because the Bible says. And how many believe the Bible? Raise your hand if you believe the Bible. Yeah, you don't believe the Bible #3 I'm just going to give you the points. There are so many verses. Maybe I'll send you an e-mail. Should I send you an e-mail? They suffer from selective submission. Is it time to do something? Am I overstepping my time or something? OK, They submit to some things. They don't. They submit to the things that are not about money and not about others. Everybody find the nearest past and say I blame you for the finances of the church. I get up and get up and locate any pastors. I blame you for the finances of the church. I blame you. I say get up, come and talk to the pastor. Tell them I blame at least five. I blame you for the finances of the church. Are you telling them I blame you? Pastors kneel down and beg them. Pastors kneel down and beg them we are sorry. Pastors beg. Beg for forgiveness. The people out there. OK, to whom that the ties belong to? I said to whom that the ties belong to? Then why have you left the ties with the people? I. The next one, they do not respect God. They don't respect God. That's why they don't pay tithes. Babu says honor the Lord, honor the Lord. So we with their substance. Proverbs 3 verse 10, honor the law. So when you don't honor the Lord with their substance, what does it mean? It means you don't respect because it means you don't honor. Hey, how many have ever thought you don't respect God? You see, you never think of that, but that's what it means. You honor the Lord with your substance and you don't honor the Lord with your substance. It means you don't respect God. It means you show honor by your substance. You show honor, you show respect with substance. So, so if you want to respect some of your honors of you take substance and honor him with the substance. Hey, wow, How many are surprised by the vest? How many are surprised by the vest that it actually means you don't respect God? Meanwhile, you've always thought of yourself as somebody who respects God. I'm God fearing. I'm God respecting. Why should you be a pastor of people who don't fear God because you yourself don't fear God? To whom to, to whom? To whom? The ties belong to? To whom to, to whom? For to whom do tights belong to? To whom? To to whom? For to whom do tights belong to? To whom, to to whom? For to whom do tights To whom? To whom do tights belong to whom, to, to whom? To whom do tights belong to, to whom? To whom? To whom do tights belong? To whom? To whom do tights belong to? Yes. How do you say tight in French? Say team. Nigerian President Abatiya Abatiya, to whom does the ties belong to? You have taken everybody. When you go, I'm giving you assignment. Go and watch Jurassic Park. That's the assignment I'm giving. Go and see what happens when you put somebody's egg in your bag. Will you do? Will you do your homework #7 Because they are greedy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is #7 you know, I didn't give you some of them. It's #7 so are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain, which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. Proverbs 119 When you are greedy, you take away the life of the owner, God's house, the lifeline of his house, You take it away. Proverbs one verse 19, you take away the life, you stop the life of missionary work. If I have to send Jimmy now, I have to send Billy. I have to send Pastor Robert. I have to send people that you know, people that you know, that suffer and sacrifice for the work of God to go on. You take away the life of it. Such is the way of a greedy man. It takes away the life of the owners. The owner of the tithe is God. You taking away the life. Hey, what type of human being are you? That's o'kelly. Do you understand what is being said? Yes, you have to teach your people to pay tithes. Don't teach them in an aggressive way. Show them these are scriptures. It's not about fighting with anybody because it's only because of the work. Tithing is from the heart. Somebody, Let's say I don't like God's money again till I die. But I'm in this church, I'm in Goobly Gob, I'm in Angel's Delighted church or any church I don't like. I don't want to eat tithe again. Somebody's egg, somebody's Buffalo baby. That's where you see that a Buffalo is thrown. One day I saw a Buffalo. It held a lion. It put the hell and it entered the lion's side, the rib, and then it lifted the lion into the air and threw the lion into the air. The lion came down. That was the end of that lion. That's when you will see you have come for our child, me and a cow. But I will show you that even though you eat me, I can also fight because you have come for my child. That instinct is in every woman about her children. So sometimes when women say I love you, they mean I have wildlife instincts, the wildlife instinct that they have for children, that the wildlife has. Yeah. How many greedy members do we have #8 They think they are being robbed or cheated. This is one of their minds in the church power. People think they are being cheated. Bible says in Matthew 25 verse 24. Then he that had received one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou has not sown, and gathering where thou has not strolled. Amen. What do you think he thought God was going to reap from something he has not deserved? God does not deserve the type your mouth. God does not deserve. Be careful of assessing what people deserve. When you say he deserves, he doesn't deserve, he deserves, he doesn't deserve. You know what I deserve you don't know what I deserve. When we meet the Lord one day you, that's when you know what I deserve. But I may not deserve much when I see the Lord. The Lord will say wow this and this and now you don't deserve man. But on the other hand God will say he deserves a whole lot. 1 day rejoinder went to heaven. He had a vision and he saw a great man of God who had fallen and he said that God Jesus took him to the man and showed him the man on the throne. He said I wanted you to see where he is, one of the highest Thrones. The man who fell. Yeah, he was on one of the highest Thrones. He said I want you because he loved me very much. He said when you loved me I will set you on high. Yeah, he was surprised. He was. Regina was very surprised to see where the guy was. So don't be quick to assess me or assess God or assess the church. The church deserves it. He does not deserve. He deserves that. He does not deserve it. Give your best of what you are supposed. Don't start assessing. You don't deserve this. Let me give you less. You don't deserve more, I'll give you more. What you are doing is dangerous. One day I saw somebody, the person had a high blood pressure. You know what she was doing Instead of taking the medicine every day, what you do is that you measure the blood pressure. Then if it is less than, instead of taking the medicine, she will reduce it. So today I'll take this. Then when is there another time that you take more and take less? You want to die or what? You measure it and then you take accordingly. Is this sugar that you are putting in tea? You are tasting of salt, you are putting in Stew. That is not how we change that medicine. You take it and you keep it. You can't assess whether you deserve more medicine or less. You cannot assess God as a You deserve. You don't deserve. You deserve man. You don't deserve time this month. You don't deserve. The church hasn't done much for me. He doesn't deserve. God doesn't deserve man. God has been very quiet this month. God has been quiet. God doesn't deserve. God deserves. Deoti deoti #9 they are afraid of losing, so they hide their tithes from the church. Bible says I was afraid and I went and hid myself. You don't want to lose. Watch and see whether the church is losing or you are losing. Have you noticed whether the church is losing or you are losing? Look at your life carefully and see you don't pay tithe. Who is losing you or the church? Lighthouse is bigger and stronger. You may not know. Even in Switzerland, where we have had a few difficulties, it is even bigger and stronger than it was a year ago. That's what I believe. Stronger. As for stronger is definitely stronger. That's what I think. And bigger. And I told you the last time, even an elephant, when it loses weight, it's far bigger than a rabbit or even a lion or a cow. You can't even see it. So check your life and see whether you are the one losing weight or is the church which is losing weight. Somebody wanted to attack a church to close the church down. A church is not easy to stop it though. Church they are fighting against something is very difficult to fight. That's what I've learned. I've learned that bad churches, this will happen. Pastors will send this. It's not easy to close the church. Still, it's not easy. They say this. They do go up, come. You check yourself whether you are losing weight or the elephant is losing weight. Yeah. So you're talking about losing. Let's us ask ourselves in Europe here, how many of us have come to Europe and have really prospered as we thought we would prosper and as liquid in cash and, and, and, and with whatever it is that we did, as we thought and we imagined? Let us ask ourselves, but as you are sitting here and I'm teaching about that, I'm even teaching you how to save and how to recalculate your life. And it's actually a key to prosperity. All right. Oh, the next one number 12 #11. #10 they are baby Christians. That's why they don't pay tithes. Why? Because you cannot expect babies to obey instructions. Amen. Or can you expect your baby to obey instructions? How many of you have brushed your teeth today? Raise your hand if you brush your teeth, please. Now, is there anybody here? Rudy, stand up. Did your mother call you to brush your teeth this morning? Tell the truth. Your mother called you this morning and told you to brush you. Just brush it on your own. And who's next to you? Peter. Have you brushed your teeth today? Did your mother call you to brush your teeth? Tell the truth. In the name of it. Cross your heart. What's his name? Pedro. Your mother call you from where? Which country is it? Angola. Your mother call you from Angola. I know. Tell the truth. She called you this month. Told you brush your teeth. Don't forget to brush your teeth. Cross your heart. I shamed the devil. Did your mother call you? You see? Why did their mothers not call them? Because they are mature. Nobody had to tell them to do anything. So people do not do certain things because they are babies. But have your mother told you to brush your teeth before? Yeah, When you were a kid. What about you? Tell the truth when you were a kid? You 2 Tell me she told you many times why you're a kid. So why don't people pay tithes? Why don't they obey something that's written in the Bible? Why don't they? Something that's written, something that has been told them, has been preached and they don't do it. What does it mean? Yeah, kids. Yeah, that's kids. They say they don't do it, but if they were mature, they would do it on their own. Yeah, you do it on your own. Nobody would talk about it. Nobody will even preach to you about it. It will be so basic to you. So it shows you that when you see a pastor who says I'm a man of God but I don't pay tithe, it's saying something about the person. It's a picking. What is your name again? Peter. Pedro. And who is behind that? Is that Joseph and who is beside you? Benjamin. OK, You sure your mother didn't call you? If your mother called you today to brush your teeth, raise your hand, please. Because you are all grown-ups, isn't it? You're all sexually alive, isn't it? You have passed a certain stage, isn't it? Not only did your mother call you today to brush your teeth? No. Why? Because she sees you as somebody who's married, isn't it mature having sex with your husband, isn't it? Yes, hopefully. You see, as soon as you are mature, certain things will not be said again. So when our churches mature, yeah, You know, one day I went to a church in a certain country, in Singapore actually, they told me he said 95% of our people pay tithes. Yeah, 95% of our people pay tithes, 95 to 99%, everybody pays tithes here. And we had a program, they didn't take any offerings throughout the week. No. So just on Sunday we'll take tithes, that's all. And the church is rich, so everybody pays tithes here. Singapore. Yeah. This that they said don't offering not there's nothing like rather when they came for the program, the church made noodles and rice for everybody to eat. Every day after church, everybody go and eat. They didn't take any offering. They rather gave food to the people when they came. And then on Sunday they just took their tights, that's all. No talking, no, this is tight. And they told me 9070% of everybody who kept their pace tight, how many agree with me. I saw a baby church. Yeah, it's a baby church at all. It's a serious, mature church. How many passes are going to aim that your your churches should be like that. Yeah, aim for it. And don't wait till you are on your way to Congo before you sit up and say, hey, I better let the church pay title as I go because one day you may be on the mission field. We say we are sorry the money didn't reach this month. So try and manage, try and manage. How many would like Pastor Jimmy to try and manage or Pastor Robert to try and manage you people, you should see the sacrifice that Pastor Robert makes for you. I have to talk to him. I said, my friend, it's something he can, he can do to try to save money for the checks too much that it almost becomes abnormal because his mind is on how to save and to help. Yeah, he has been here for years. He knows it better than you. Yeah. So brothers and sisters, please don't take it. Don't wait till you are the one on the way. Then you say, yeah, 95% tithe paying checks. No, we are 100% tithe paying everybody in Switzerland. We are going to teach them slowly, gently, but definitely, yes, I want to, I want to hear a good report of you and say wow, that the administrator will come in and inform me that the percentages have gone higher and Switzerland has now become a top time and see how many great things that the Lord wants to do and that no more is it just the first Test, but it's the 1st and it's become the best as well. I see it, I see it in Jesus name #11 They do not care whether the church exists. Isaiah 3125 number 12. They do not care whether the pastors are paid or not #13 they do not care whether evangelism is done or not. We don't care. That's why people don't pay tithes #14 they do not care whether the church is constructed or not. And I can go on and on and on and on and give you 43 different reasons, but I'm not going to do that. I'm going to end here. Amen. What do you think? I think you have enough reasons to know that you need to brush your teeth without being told. Brush your teeth. Amen. Start to your feet, everybody. We're going to take a break for 5 minutes and I want to meet all pastors. Is that what it is? All Swiss pastors, if you are from Germany, do not come, or you are from Spain, do not come. Or from any other country, do not come. Only Swiss pastors. Where they coming? Up the stairs, Up the stairs to the other side for 5 minutes. Hello. Hello, please. We coming back in just five minute There. All right, All right. Hold your brother's hand. Sit down, everybody. Sit down. Sorry, sorry. Listen, before you, before you, before you break up, I want to take a good offering. Amen. And hello. Hello. Sit down, please. I'm talking sit down everybody. I want to take a good offering, Amen, to help the work, especially to help with some of the expenses and the bills, Amen, that come around here, Amen, on this particular program. So I'm going to ask you to give a special offering in an envelope, Amen. Can you do that? Will you do that, Amen? I'm not going to ask you for much. I'm going to ask everybody to try and believe God to give at least 100 francs as a special offering to thank God for the camp and how you have been rebuked and how you have also been healed and how God is bringing healing and blessing to us in Switzerland. I'm going to ask you to give a special. I'm not promising you that a goat will come to your house or something will come in the night, or any Motia or draft or anything will go out of your life. All I'm saying is given, or I'm speaking as your Father spiritually, you can give 500, you can give 1000, you can give up, but I'm going to believe God will give at least just 100 francs this afternoon when we come back. Amen. Do you think you can do that? You cannot do that. Is it possible? It's possible because if you want to pay 100 francs, if they tell you, oh, Bishop is dead, yes, 100 francs, Want to give you 500 francs. So I'm not, I'm not dead, I'm alive. I said give a good offering, be a blessing and plant a seed. You never know it to be a turning point for your life in Switzerland. Because I believe that this camp is a turning point camp. How many concerns that is turning? Some turning around another way. Yeah. It's a turning point camp. Amen. OK, lift up your hand and let's pray. What if you don't have 100? You can give 50. What about I believe? I want you to believe you for a special 100 francs seed today. Lift up your hand. Let's pray. My Father, we thank you for the great blessing that you've given to us as we give a special offering at this camp meeting. As we come into the end of the camp, we are thankful. Lord, in the name of Jesus, Amen. All right, so go out of this place for 5 minutes. You have 5-10 minutes maximum. Prepare a special offering, Amen. As you come back into the last session, everybody, Amen. You can listen. Hello. Please, please, please, please, please. Listen. The Bible says to whom much is given, much is expected. Somebody in another country to give £100 will mean that he's given his salary from January to June to you. Yeah. But I see Christianity is based on the unselfishness of a blessed person, isn't it? It's the unselfishness of a blessed who doesn't always say he's not blessed, when actually he's 1000 times more blessed than everybody else. And I'm talking too much now because of this 100 francs offering. I'm saying too many things in some of the olden days type of offering, too much talking because of 100 francs. If you won't get away with your 100 francs, it's nonsense. Ah, what is this? What is this? Talk a lot. Just explain this play this, play this, play this reason that reason this reason that oh, Claire, don't give the 100 francs again. We are tired of all these things. Why idiotic? You're tired of this type of thing? Explain, explain, explain, explain. Explain too much anyway, OK? Don't let the certain feeling come into the end of the camp. Because when I'm taking the front and I look at your face, your face I look too. You should be smiling and saying and not the. Oh, Bishop, don't talk at all. These are what is that? Don't talk at all. You are just looking at me. Yeah. You can give envelope. You have envelopes. Oh, you do OK. OK. You can give me further breaker if you OK Who wants it? Yeah, give to those who want it special. You can give it now. OK, now give it now. You want to go to your room. Yeah. The. I think since the offer is being given, if you need to go to your room and get something, go and get it quickly right now and come. Is there anybody like that? I'll borrow money from somebody and then promise to pay him by the next five years. It looks like everybody's giving now, so let's just do it, finish with it. Now. If you couldn't give 100 francs, you can lift up your hand also, we'll give you a number. Whatever you can give, you can give 50 or whatever. It's also a good offering or everybody's giving 100. Let me see smart from today, we will not accept plain faces when we are taking plain face, when we are taking offering, do not accept it again in the church. Yeah, we don't want plain face one smiling happy faces, any plain face, plain face congregation. We not accept it again when we are taking offering. Hey, we don't accept plain face again during offering, Smiling happy faces during offering. Yes, when we smile offering we are smiling. Can I see? No, I don't want to see any plain place during the offering time. The. Father, thanks for this offering, bless all those that I've given. Thank you for your love in Jesus name. Amen. Are you coming? Yeah. Come. Wow. God bless. This is Peter. You see, I know your name for the company. Wow, are you blessed? Are you happy to be here? Are you feeling better? Is your playing face going? Tell your neighbor I'll be watching that playing face during offering. No more playing faces again. The church. This is Pedro. This is Andy. That's Vincent. That's John. That's Timothy. It's a prophecy. It's powerful. Are you enjoying the presence of the Lord? How many realize when you are in the camp all the delusions of the world are disappearing? Realize that the presence of the Lord, that is the main thing is it not true All the delusions of the world, they just evaporate. One day a certain pastor, he was going on the mission field as he went. He was a pharmacist and he met another pharmacist who was got a new job at a drug company. Hey, the guy was driving his new whatever car. And he said that when he met the guy, the guy asked us what is wrong with you? Where are you going to work, missionary? Are you mad? He said that's all silly, idiotic. He felt idiotic. But he said that after he met the guy, he came to church. It was the evening, he said, he said when he came into the presence of the Lord and the beautiful music was going on, presence of the Lord here, that he felt sadly how wise he was rather what a great thing it was that he's doing this really. This was years ago. Recently I asked him where are those pharmacists that you made that made you feel so foolish? He said they are all weeded. He has rather flourished like a palm tree in the courts of the House of the Lord planted he was now he is now the man driving the new whatever car and those other ones have with that with that idiotic is not is not following following God is not a beauty follow God is not a beauty not following God is a beauty follow him, follow him. Don't be afraid of every country, be afraid of being far from the presence of the law. I have made the Lord my refuge. The Lord is my dwelling place. Therefore I shall not be afraid of the snake of the trapper, the one that has been specified for only me, and I shall not be afraid of the pestilence that has come for all of us. The thousands shall fall by my side, 10 thousands shall fall by myself, but it shall not come with long life. I will satisfy him because he has known my name, because he has set his love upon me. I shall be with him in time of trouble. I shall help him and I shall rescue him. The Lord will help you in the afternoon, in the afternoon, in the bright light when the enemy comes, and he will help you in the night, in the darkness of life. He will be with you, and He will strengthen you and fight for you. Oh Lord, arise contact with those that contend against us, fight against those that fight against us. Draw out your shield and your backlog and fight on our behalf. O Lord, thank you. Thank God that it is a blessing to serve him and to follow him. Jehovah Almighty, the keeper and the shepherd of our souls, shall keep us and shall guide us by his light and bring us into the pastor that he has prepared for us. He shall lift up our intellect and our spiritual capacities and bring us into His presence. Thank you, Lord, for your blessing in Jesus name. Thank you for this offering. Honor your people in Jesus name. Amen. All right.
