23. 7 New Ways To Pay Your Tithe

Welcome to track #23 of Lay. Power tithe repentance box on the altar because I think that the concept that you've cheated God when you don't pay your tithes and to be able the concept, the very concept to repent and put in back dated tithes. If there was maybe just one of the baskets that you know is a tithe repentance box, you can go and place what you yourself know in your heart you've cheated about the last maybe two months, three months, six months. I think it might encourage people to start looking at it as something that should be repented and repaid. I think it's a good idea. You have tight and then back pay, yeah, not accumulate past tights. You see 1/5, you add 20%. So maybe we have to get a special basket with a special colour tithe repentance, we have to get another name, maybe bounce back. No back pay, no Arias tithe. Arias redemption tithe. What tight redemption we have to explain it. Always home Arias Check. Arias. What word Arias? Yes. Forgotten Tides. I think we've not included the chapels, the check from the Chapel, but I think it's something that will really work. If I am the Chapel, the past, the past of a particular Chapel and I go to the tax and tight office to get the names of those, all my shepherds, those who have paid their ties for the month. So the pastor checks the shepherds, the shepherds check the members and maybe our generals presented Superintendent checks the pastors. We've not really recorded it, but I think it's a sure way to check the tights. Yeah, I mean all the pastors you check, you go to the tight office and pick maybe the the for the month, your Chapel, those off pay the shepherds. So you're able to went to who didn't pay or who paid and then maybe your members, the shepherds will check the members in the various fellowships. No, the pastor goes, the pastor does it. So the pastor goes to the tax office and then for your Chapel, you get a list of all those who have paid. It's the highest. Office. So what is it called? Pastor Shep? Recovery Ministry. It's not a ministry. Pastor Shep. Tithe monitoring system. Pastor Shep. Tithe, I mean Joshua Chapo pasta. I go to the tithe office, I want to see the list of all those who have paid or I take the list. So I go through all the shepherds who have paid and then I give the list to also the the shepherds so that they also check their members and their various fellowships. I believe that is the best. I'm not best, but one of the sure way of checking the tides within the chapels. Yeah. So we have about 20 chapels that constitute the the church, so to see. And then we'll have other methods to check those who are also not in the chapels. But the chapels are sure way of checking the tides through the pastors. Yeah. But The thing is we are looking for a lot of methods. All the methods we are saying have problem, I mean disadvantages. And so if we are trying to have a lot of methods and it kind of cuts away some of the disadvantages, it's of course not 100% surety, but it also cuts every Chapel. It would just mean that when they pay their tithe now, they would also have to record their the names of their chapels. So that's like we start. So we start from now then. I wonder if it's a good idea. OK Pastor Max, please if you are not bringing a suggestion, don't speak. We need suggestions. And Bishop, I think that the best thing to do is to number the people first so that we can know, for instance, from the chapels, if I have 15 people, so I should bring the list of the people who are regular and those who come once in a while. So that it will be if that data and the pastoral care has that data, then it will be easier for me to cross check at the end of the month how many people have paid. Because so far the only records we have I think is the record of those who pay tight. So which means that those who are not tight payers, we don't know them. So how are we going to? OK. So what he's saying is we are going to start a new failed tight payers for the month monthly list of people who did not pay tithes must be a new list that is known in the church because every time we have those who paid, we have to have those who didn't pay. You understand because you assume that well, those who didn't pay those who paid leaves us with those who didn't pay. But if we actually generate a list of those who don't pay who those who didn't pay per month, then we have like a working list to whether we want to work on it or not. You understand? So that for the first time it's like we compiled those who didn't pay for this month, not just compiling those who pay, you see, so non payers, non type payers ministry. So we actually work on those who don't pay, who didn't pay for that month the way we. Did the registration, it's like you pay those who there's some people never registered at all because they didn't, they never paid. But still with those who registered or put in their date of birth, we can every month they are, I mean, it's registered. So those who didn't pay will know that this number, this 500, we didn't pay at all this month. So we'll be able to monitor those. We have to now find a way of following them up, you know? Absentee ties. That suggestion is. We can change that. We can try it. I don't want to use it. OK, I know every every method has a people change their numbers easily. We can try. I'm open to any system. Also me. I think that multiple systems are the way forward. So please next way is to to compile a list of non payers for the month. So monthly defaulters ministry, monthly defaulters ministry, lay people who find monthly defaulters and work on them. Did you get it? Lay people who find monthly defaulters and work on them. All right. What's the next one? Yes. Hello. OK. I'm saying that since tithe paying is very critical for the church, we should look at having a register in the medium term that would have a unique ID, the names and the tight record so that it can also ensure that we can have a history to be able to monitor. And then an extractor of that is what can go on the website so that if people really have a unique ID, then you can go and log on or whatever it is and then even have access to the history. That would also help the past test. To be able to have like a monthly report, that is what we have done by registering everybody with the birthday number, birthday, but they are not using it. Bishop Saki just told me that they don't want to use their birthdays, she says. Some people are using it. I think every system has its flaws. So what about system you? You take how many are using your birthdays? Raise your money. You are using your birthdays. Oh, OK. And have we found some people with the same birthday dates? Huh. Who has found somebody with the same birth dates, same year, same day, same everything in the church. OK, so the next project, the next project should be register all members who have the same date as somebody else, you know, in the church should come forward to sort out because it's a small group compared to sorted it out. So it's working. But you see a lot of things depends. A lot of things depend on this data thing working on. That is why over the years, I mean, like if you take the country, how many people are there in the country? I mean, how much food is needed? How many people, how many cars will be needed, buses in the country, water supply, electricity this education, schools, I mean it's just a basis for almost everything. So if this data thing with the numbering system is not sorted out and not used, well, there are a lot of things like this thing we are talking about to have been very easy to just say how it should be done. But if people have started using their cause a lot of hands went up that they are using it. So why don't we persist with it at least in the Kodesh. You know, I think we should persist with it in the Kodesh because that is then we sort out the other ones that are not working. So by you say that it's not well sorted out, So what does that mean? How many still you pay your tithe, you indicate your name on the envelope as well as your date of birth. Beautiful. So that helps us solve that because if they just pay with their date of birth and then somebody else has that same date of birth, when you get the envelope, you don't know exactly who you're dealing with. So if they still do that, how we're going to solve that is we can make an announcement, put it on the notice board that the following people should see us and then we sort out that you, you, you, you have the same date of birth. Some of them already know that. But what about if we skip that? Let's not bother to do that. If somebody has a same where we start actually putting on the website, these people have paid tithes check and we start to print the list of people who have not paid, you understand, and we start to use the system. That's when we will see. But we have spent all our time creating the system and we should start using it because just not to just have the numbers, but actually use it. They said, OK, all of you didn't pay that. Oh, I paid that. Why? OK, let's sort out you have the wrong number. This person is as your name. And so so we actually use the system for the first time. And then when we use the system and create the tracking, like he said, that thing is there already every month. This is your type that you've been paying. You can check it and it's there. So when somebody comes and find out that, oh, I've never paid ties before, but it shows a record that I've been paying ties since 19, whatever, oh, that is a mistake in your case. That's all. So that is the use of the system that will reveal the flaws of this. It's like a constitution. You create it, you use it, and as you use it, you realize that there's something wrong with this thing over the years. Then one day you change it. But to always be creating and creating with hypothesis of why it may work, why it may not work, that is our problem. So let us now start to use it as a tool. Do you get it? Come this way always quickly? The shortfall with our system now is that we will not be able to identify those who do not pay tithe unless we are going to do a RE registration all over again because they now pay it with their name and their numbers. So that's what we enter into our database. So those who do not pay, who have not started paying, and who have never started paying would never be able to identify. No ever so ever so of ever so often like the polling, look, if you take the voting in Ghana, the vote, there are a lot of problems with it. I mean, I don't know how my name was removed from that voting register. You understand. I don't know what basis they used to remove my name from the voting register in my in my polling station. There are a lot of issues and problems but it plays a role for a large number of Ghanaians. People come from Togo to vote, people come from other places to vote who are not Ghanaians and so there are always proper. It's like you have to accept maybe a 70% system or 80, otherwise you have no system. So what I'm saying is that we have tried and tried and tried. Let's just use it as it is now. Ever so often you have to reregister, okay? We are reregistering every year. Every year you can reregister a new campaign, open the polling robotics register, the tidy register again and the church register. Everybody register again with your number, this and that and that. Then we sort out the things that that and actually use it. So the theorization Americans say that they don't want to use because of their data, something these days there are all those things. We should throw it out of the out of the basket and just start our own system and use it. You get it. So come up every month with a list of people who have not paid time and the type non type default test ministry would take that list and find the people and say, brother, my records have shown me they're not paid time. Me, I paid time and this month I paid my largest time. Oh, you see, there's a mistake. We check it this OK, since you have the same day we serve next Sunday, we will announce for the person with this number to come forward and so on and so on. And so and we keep on, I mean, refining the system, it's not as though it's a receipt. Anybody who pay ties, we don't owe any anything to the person. All ties are non refundable. And the tie that is given is not being given specifically for something that you can say we didn't use it for that. So there's no obligation in that sense and it's not refundable. You believe the church, we will never refund your tie. So if you don't want to pay, just don't pay. I don't you get it. So I think it's the use that has never really started. We don't have a system, a group, A ministry that our ministry is tight recovery and tight coordination, tight checking register or so it's just about getting onto it, get down to the job up here. Am I saying something? Yeah. I think we should just do it and keep refining. Look at the polling, this thing the ideal. Is that your picture? Your ID should be your card. You come, this is my picture. This is me born on this day, everything with my number. You can never for that I have come to vote. Then I come and I vote. But you come with a name. Then you come and identify your name. Everybody can come and just you. You just call people who are on the voters register and you say, oh Charlie, come, there's a Richard something. There's this, there's this plan. You just make a call or text from your police station. Then they all come. I'm Richard. This is OK Vote and people come twice, 3 * 4 times. And one of our pastors was, she was, she told me I went to Oahu to vote, said we were just children. They just called it come, vote three times, come vote again, go, go, go and come all the time. She told me herself, she's from there. She went to vote and she said it was a shame, you know, and but these are some of the lapses that come in an imperfect system which is developing. But if we put it aside, there will be no voting at all. So let's vote with the imperfect system as it is, and gradually it will one day get better. But As for the flaws and the problem, they are there. And if you say because they are there, we are not going to vote again, then we are back to military rule. The other option is military rule. Yeah. And it means only people who go to the army can lead us. And even in school, we know the kind of people who go to the army. You know, it's certain certain type of people who go and join army. How can it be that the country or the nation can only be led by such people? It should not be that we have only an option of in a school those who choose army. It's like saying that only carpenters can be head of state in Ghana. Only carpenters or only this group or only that group. It should be open to all but not only those who go to military and have guns. Or you don't understand it so get down to the job. Get to the job and just use it every month. Tight defaulters list ministry. So tight defaulters ministry is one tight card. Recovery ministry is another ministry. How many other lay people that your work has multiplied since you came to the camp? More, more work, Television work, radio work, a bus work, video showing bus evangelism. I mean, tight collect recovery. Oh, how many are already feeling tired? Raise your hand if you're already feeling tired. Yeah, that's why I brought you here. So when you see the yellow sign bottle, you say I'm feeling tired. My church. I'm feeling tired. How many tight recovery systems do we have? Seven. What about tithe A hand? I found the word overdue. Overdue Tithe. Overdue tithe. Yeah. Overdue Tithe baskets. Is that what is it called? Overdue time It was overdue something Arias behind overdue in depth Arias overdue overdue tide basket ties that are overdue January tides February tides is a special 1 overdue been delayed. I think it's a very powerful. Let's make a basket like this like this round and big Ghana flag colors overdue tights that we put it there every time I think so put your tights here and your overdue tights. What do you think? Yeah so overdue tithing. What are the seven recovery systems central scoreboard which is actually going to go on the website, isn't it? And I would say data tracking of everybody's type as so Pastor Josiah you are in charge of that. Okay, you have brought that idea. So everybody should be able to say this number. I've been paying ties for that and we should have it there even if there are mistakes and sometimes somebody's paying and it's not by your name. It should be there so that we can see the mistakes that over the years it will get better. But always we are theorizing and we don't have anything. At least if some of us would have seen that it is true, our ties can be tracked up till today that we've paid this amount since whenever, but we don't have it because of this same theorizations and people come and ask. So now the tithing office will have that you go and we need lay people. We can now employ a new person to to to man the tight office. Grace, perhaps you have to come be the officer of the tight office, tight office of the church. You sit there and then you collect, you check, you track, you say what is your name that you track for the person like a polling agent. If people can do polling agent, why can you not do a tight office? Yeah, Lycos delegate everybody's there with the with the information. Do you see how many things is a good idea? A lot of people have booted for you. OK, Lycos, we are going to be tired in the chair. If you are not tired, you are not what a worker. If you are not, if you are fresh, if you are fresh and bouncing and put, then you're not a worker. Don't say that you are you are working in the ministry. Don't say it. Don't think it, don't say it. You said you come for camp. What's the next one Type card returning ministry. Random audit will be random pastor chef audit. That's where pastors ask and check what pastor Pasi was saying, check this. Pastors will check their card, check their number. So a pastor randomly just checks some of his people, the shepherds, the pastors and so on, and he checks it. So that's random pastoral shepherdorial audit. That's number four. Is that #4 That's number two. Number three is what tithe card returning ministry #4 tithe office, Tithe office, and tithe center OK with. And then the next one is what tithe treasure box. That is the tithe. What do you call that thing? The safe tithe giant safe. Another one, tithe giant safe in the tithe office and outside the tithe office you see in the tithe office and outside the tithe office, right outside the tide of his healing Jesus is after and that's for collection. OK, and his way to catch. OK the next one is what? Website monitoring using our numbered numbering system. Next one is what? Monthly default test ministry. Next one is what no monthly defaulter is the same as overdue. OK, those the basket that is there and then defaulter is the list. And the next one is what? No, its type detailed type tracking will be the what Josiah was saying detailed type tracking ministry, a ministry that has a computer with numbers and details of people's types for years that they've paid. Josiah, is that not what you are suggesting? That you can come and say I've been in this church since 1996, show me my tight record that we can show you every month that you've paid and the total you have paid is $2,000,000 tithes for 11 years that you've been in the church. Details. No, the website is to reveal you can check on the website on Monday whether your tithe appeared for that month just to check. It's not a detailed, it's just yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no. Do you understand? It's just saying yes, arrived, not arrived. So if you came to church and you put it and it's like it didn't get there or you paid by the mobile management money or you paid by I switch or you pay by whatever. Has it registered in the system, the central system, yes. So on the website it reveals, yes, it has appeared, no, it has not appeared, but the detailed tie tracking system, that's what we call TTS tie tracking system, ministry run by Pastor Josan. Tie tracking system, do you see TTS, That one is detailed. So DTTS detailed tie tracking system. That one is being run by Pastor Josan. And that is going to use your numbers, how many are seen the different things detailed type tracking system is different from monthly default test list. The monthly default test ministry is different from over new basket is different from type office is different from central websites, register monitoring. Is it a scoreboard, Website scoreboard, let's call it website scoreboard. Yes, website scoreboard, website scoreboard. That is this website that you can go to see that the money that I paid by east which it has come the money that I paid by my envelope, it has registered. Now if it doesn't register, then you allege the tight office, which is being run by Grace. She come and sit there from Monday to Friday. She'll be there in her office. Somebody I work at a tight office as a layperson. I'm helping my church Ohio. When you die, these are all your tributes. Say she work in the tight office. She paid fully, huh? Who wants to be your secretary? Natasha. She's in full time issue. She has you have to find like no, no, no, no. She was worshipping God, but she she was not then detailed. Try tight tracking system DTTS overdue basket tight office DTTS detailed tight tracking system overdue basket. Isn't it monthly default test ministry? Isn't it those who find a monthly default test list and find them in the church and say, brother, it seems you have not been paying tight. I want a person who have been paying. Then we check. Why have you not been paying? Do you have financial problems? Marital problems? Can we pray for you? Have you lost your job? Are you building a house? You were roofing your house, so you decided not to pay tight. Did you travel? Then we have Pastor Shep. Random audits. Pastoral Shepherd, Random audits. Isn't it? Is it a powerful system that has been created? I tell you, yeah, revolutionary tithing, tight tracking systems, love for Jesus. Now, the next 143 reasons. No, that's the revelation I won't give you because when I look at a time, I will not be able to. So I'm going to give you some of the 43 revelations and then we will look at some other things. Amen #1 So we have got 7 new ways to collect tides and seven ways to monitor tides, isn't it? Is it a powerful thing? Super powerful. How many are feeling tired in the church already? If you don't feel tired, you have not joined the right church. You must feel tired and do that. Yes, Tiredness is the sign that you are working. Yeah, sign. Auntie Phillipa used to work at the reception and she got tired. Auntie Phillipa, is it not true? Yes. It's not a small thing. You think that you are just sitting there doing nothing, huh? Yes, she had. She had a code and a radio. Auntie Phillipa with a walkie-talkie and she had code. Name was Nightingale and she'll call Nightingale over. I should give a message to Melody Man. Pastor Johnny was Melody Man Copycat was Pastor Marty copycat coming for Nightingale. Melody Man says that this and that. Yeah. Ashanti Gold was who you. Everybody had a couldn't because we were on air and people could hear us at the airport and different. So Motorola. So you see an auntie, our auntie, she was at the reception calling radio Taste that the church work. Well, you see this as if it's nothing. If you like come even the Lycos 1 you see that you are sweating. Come and do the full time 1 and you see more fire. 43 reasons why some people do not pay that number one, they don't know about it. Why some people don't pay tithes, why Lycos don't pay that they don't know. But you cannot say that now. Brethren, I wander through ignorance. You did it. By the times of this ignorance, God has wintered, but now He commanded all men everywhere to repent. Amen. You cannot say you didn't know that is Acts 1720 and that God says that you did it through ignorance. That's Acts 317. Amen #2 They don't believe the Bible, but that's not your problem #3 They suffer from selective submission and obedience. Selective submission. You select the ones you will submit to, and you leave the ones you will not submit to. Now in Second Corinthians chapter 8, verse 7, the Bible says therefore, as you abound in everything, in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in diligence, in your love to us, see that you abound in this grace also. Is that a problem? Second Corinthians chapter 8 verse 7, 10 to it is a very important verse that we need to look at. Amen. Glory be to God, glory be to God. Glory be to God. Glory be to God, glory be to God. You guys are doing a great job. Don't worry, you'll soon be going on lunch break. Are you ready for lunch break? Yeah, yeah. Are you in Parliament? They suffer from selective submission notice. Second Corinthians chapter 8, verse 7, it said. Therefore, as you abound in everything, in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love, see that you are bound in this grace also, in which he goes on to explain the grace of giving. So a Christian must abound in knowledge, faith, love. You must be good at all these things, but also be good at what giving. So as you are bounding in a choir song, this that, this, whatever you are doing, make sure you are bound in what? In this grace also. Everybody say in this grace, also say in this grace also say, see to it, see to it that you abound in this grace also. Amen. This is also a grace. It's also a blessing. It's also a flow. It's also an area and God is saying we must have flow in this area. You cannot have Lycos, laypeople, come on, man understanding, shepherdorial, web, bus ministry, TV ministry, radio ministry. But when it comes to tithing, when it comes to tithing, when it comes to putting down 10% of whatever God has given to you, that one, you are not abounding in that area. I will say that even as you abound in the knowledge, in faith, in utterance, in love, see to 8, see to 8, see to 8, see to 8, that you also abound in this grace also. Amen. Are you listening to me? Make sure, make sure, make sure, make sure, make sure that you abound in this aspect. I you cannot say even, you cannot say you are working for God in this aspect. You have left here. How can I be here if I'm not? I'm not paid to be here. I've not taken permission from anywhere to be here. I've not taken permission from anywhere. This is my work. I also have to pay school fees. When I go to petrol station, they don't give me free. The agreement say pasta, lighthouse pasta, but they don't give it free. They recognize it but they don't give me free. I have never since I was born gone to a petrol station where they gave me free. If in one city, never. I've become known in town as a pastor. Still no one has offered me. The manager of the station has never come out to offer me. The person selling has never. Of whatever changed, they will collect it. I will also collect mine. Never, never, never. It has never happened. I'm waiting for even one of my check members to own a petrol station, give me coupons. It has never happened before. See to it that you are bound in this aspect because if you don't have bound in this aspect, you are actually cutting off the ministry. You are saying go away. We don't want a certain type of people to be pastors. We don't want a certain type of we want other type of people to be pastors. Yes, Make sure that it's Anna. One day I went to a certain church. The pastor is good at preaching home, He's good at doing everything. His church is big, but he does not know how to take offerings. He's he's he's, he's deficient, bereft in that area. Yes, it is. Sometimes you are good in so many things in an area. You are just, you are just not able. One day I went to another church. He they are good in every The church is big, the church is powerful, but they are poor in administration. When I remember I went there, oh, they received me very well. I preached, I did everything, stayed in a nice hotel, all that. Then they were supposed to give me an offering. They were supposed to pay for my ticket. Up till today they have not paid. Up to today they have not given behavior. They think they paid but they don't because they they are not in that grace that administrate the small administrative thing. They are not abounding in that aspect. No, they are not seen to it that they are abounding in that grace. And you know, when it reaches a certain point, even we have even sent a reminder, Charlie, pay for the ticket or at least pay for the ticket. At least pay for the ticket. I came there, pay for my ticket. We have a reminder that remember it has these people, they are bereft of administrative skills. Everybody can do well. If I see that an area, you are bereft, sometimes you do well, you are bereft in reading, sometimes you do well, you are bereft in listening to messages. One of our pastors, I told him you are bereft in listening to message. He told me that me, I don't listen to it, but I only watch video. That's why today he has backsliding. Because if you only watch video, how many times can you look at the screen? How many times can you just look at the screen? When will you have only the time to look at screen? You say you don't listen, you watch videos because you don't want to listen. I don't know that technology. I have the unit, my wife knows that technology. I have the unit at home. I have the unit in the house. My wife understand the technology. See to it that you abound in technology. I tell you as you see me, I'm a very high tech pastor. Yeah, because that's also a grace you need to abound in. Yeah, it's also a grace. If you are not abounding in high tech these days, you'll be bereft #4 Some people think that tithing is Old Testament laws and therefore it does not apply to them. That's Leviticus and so on. Leviticus and all this where they say if your son does this, kill him. If he doesn't stone it. A man should not wear what belongs to a woman. This and this tithing is in that group. Tithing is in that group, and it is also in the wisdom in Proverbs. It's in proverb, which is wisdom for prosperity. Don't read Proverbs again in your life. If you don't pay tithes. Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thy increase. So shall thy bonds be filled with plenty, and thy presence shall best out with new wine. Honor the Lord, honor the Lord with the first fruit. It's not just an Old Testament law, it's a wisdom key. In Galatians you find Paul saying concerning the collection for the Saints. As I have given order to the churches of Galatia, Even so do you apostles give instructions concerning collections. That's what I'm doing here. I'm giving instruction concerning the collections in the church, how 7 new ways by which we must collect the tides, and seven new ways by which we must monitor the whole thing. Paul was giving commandment concerning tides. I don't have time to waste my time on on you. I'm not going to say that anymore. Amen #5 They people do not pay tithe because they believe that they believe the Word. They believe the word, but they do not trust the pastors with their money. Some, some, some people feel that all you cannot handle this amount. We can handle $1 million if you like, give us if you like. If you like, give the money and I'll keep it in your account and I will spend it with you on the church project. You will write the check and I'll show you within. Within within six weeks, the $1 million will get finished. Even six weeks, it's too long. Three weeks. When I say finished, I mean that it has been spent, not that it's pledge is being used. It has gone out of the account nothing less than three weeks to six weeks. Everything 1,000,000. You give me one million U.S. dollars now I will not even allow you to put it in the church account. Keep it in your account so that we write checks from you to to pay the places. What do you think? Healing Jesus alone, just to maintain the people out there will be $240,000 for this year. Just that. And if we do 6 crusades, it will be 6 * 9 is what? 6 * 9 is what, $540,000 to have six crusades in a year? 540 + 250 is how much 760? Your thing is finished, your contribution is finished then I will give you the sheet of Mozambique chair that have applied for building here that need roof 25 right now as I'm as I'm speaking 25 churches are being roof with roofing sheets 25 different different different different different buildings that are roofing them right now as I'm talking 100 projects in the north of Ghana that's all at a halt because of cash. This is a person stand up and tell them whether is it true it's not true. Tell them the truth, though. God is looking. No, it's very true. For a while now and nothing has gone on. Yeah. Cash. You need cash. Give me one minute. I will. I will stay with you. 3 weeks. That's why the six weeks, it's a lot. That's why when you see people who don't pay tithe, it's a fair sign that you don't appreciate. First sign that you are not interested first time, that you don't understand first time. That's why I call it the sign of tithing the first time that you don't even really support or understand the work that we are really doing. You don't pay tithes and you say you want to do something else, which what other thing do you want to do with us? Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it, don't say it. Whatever you do, don't say you work for God. Sing it whatever you do. Whatever you do, don't say you're working for God. Come on. Whatever you do, don't say you're working for God. Hey, hey, whatever you do, don't say you're working for God. You say you don't trust me with your money. You trust God, but you don't trust the pasta. You trust God. Some of you. You treat us like a rural bank. When you see the rural bank, you don't trust to put money in that rural bank. You treat the church like a rural bank. Then Swa Ayensu river rural bank, River Densu rural bank, Aqua rural bank. You don't trust it. You don't put your money there. That's how you treat the church. You treat the church like a rural bank. Rural bank. What is that river in the western region? River. Prague Rural bank. Rural bank. Official rural bank as a W Rural bank. That's how you treat the church. Bishop Saki, write it down and tell them on Sunday. They are treating the church like a rural bank. They feel that the church cannot handle certain amounts of money. When you look at the structures, you can't trust this or Violet Basket. Cannot trust it. The basket looks too frail. By treating us like a rural man, God will also treat you like a rural man. You watch and see. He will say no, no, don't take that. Take that thing. It's too fine for her. It's too possible. I'm removing that shoe now. I remove that car. It's a rural man because you treat my house like a rural bank, whatever you do. You're working for God. Whatever you do. Whatever you do, don't say you're working for God. You may do what you may be the scriptures, come for rehearsal, have the cake, share the offering, whatever. Whatever you do, don't say you're working for God. You may be the scriptures. Clean the trench, have the cake, check on me and whatever. No, don't say you're waiting for God. Whatever you do, whatever you do, don't say your whatever, whatever, whatever you do, don't say you're waiting for God. Number six, they don't respect God. I think the best example is during the elections, Bible says honor the law with thy substance. Your tithe is your respect for God so that people give you present. And so this is, this is a, it's not the, it's not the, it's not the amount that matters. It's the thought. So when you open the packets and you see that they say, oh, is this the thought you have for me? It doesn't matter. It's just the thought, it's just the thoughts that matters. It's not true. The thoughts you have for God is reflected in the gift you give to him. Kenneth Hagin, I was surprised to say that people used to bring rubbish. He used to tell his swag, throw them away. He said it's not good for them, it's not good for us. Throw out all the rubbish that the church members are bringing to the house, like all the waste and whatever. He told his swag, throw them away. It's not good for for them. It's not good for the House of the Lord. What do you mean? I said, what do you mean honor the Lord, Honor the Lord, honor the Lord. That's why as a pastor, you can see, I can see the honor that people show to me by the, the sometimes the gifts that they give to me so that somebody can give you a gift. Even I remember one day somebody gave me a gift of $5.00. When I went home, I knelt down and I prayed and I felt so that it was five, One of the smallest gifts I've ever received. Five. I was so moved by it because I felt that the person has given me what the person had. I know the person I don't know. Remember the person gave me all that the person had. It shows you a certain level of appreciation and honor. I say it's just the thought that matters. Come on my friend, look at what you bestow on yourself and look at what you bestow on your pastor or on the church. Even tight you cannot pay. I don't respect God. It was during the election that you see people who people fear. I was speaking to one businessman. He said to me, I'm as comfortable with NBC or NPP. I said. I said I have paid both sides. I paid here, I paid here. He said I have a lot of friends in NPP and a lot of friends in NDC. He's paying it, but he doesn't pay title. The last time I saw I said pay tithe. He said no, no, no, no, he doesn't pay tithe. He said, oh, I've supported, I've supported the check. If I've supported, I've supported. I say you, but you don't pay tithe. You have to pay tithe. He supports school, secondary school, this that all activities write your name on the school gate, this and that, everything, but you don't pay tithe. It shows who you think God is in your life. You think it's your hard work, but you don't pay tithes. You build a school for your gate. You build a block for your school. You do it, but you will not pay time because God is not the one you think is really giving you what you have. Whatever you do, don't say you pay your tithes Check for take 3 reasons. We are now on #6 #7 because they are greedy. People don't pay that because what they are greedy. Proverbs chapter one, verse 13, It says we shall find all precious substance. We shall fill our houses with spoil. So are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain, which taketh away the life of the onus thereof. When you are greedy, it takes away your very life. When you are greedy, you cannot pay God #8 because they think they are being cheated. Amen. That was #7 now #8 people do not pay ties because they feel they are being cheated. There are many people who don't pay their ties because they feel they are being cheated. They feel that Oh, thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not soon gathering what thou has not thrown. Monkey they wet, baboon they chop. We are all doing the work of God. And this full time people are chopping our tides and at the same time we are also working with them in the office. We are collecting money in the tight office. We are doing this, we are doing this. We are, we are the we are the monkey. Which one chops and which one works. Monkey works and the baboon is chopping. I pity you. Anybody who feels he's being cheated, that person never behaves well. If you think you are being cheated, you'll never behave well. It's one of the bad thoughts to have in your mind. If you tell somebody we are not being treated well, oh, we are not being paid properly, Oh, we are not being this, oh, oh we are not. We could be there. You could be in Tigo, you could be an NTN. That's why as soon as you said, I said find your way, I get up, get up, find your way to NTN. Why they will not teach you, Don't stay in Lighthouse where they will cheat you, give you money to cut transportation quickly. Go to Tigo. You say we are not paying you well. We never intended to pay you well in the 1st place. That's never been our vision. We cannot tell you poverty. And you can, Pastor Pasi. Don't come full time thinking that we are going to pay. We are not going to pay a nice person like you. We cannot pay you well. So come, if you are coming, don't come say we are not paying you well. I mean, Charlie, when you were working out, I mean, wherever you were, anything said Daddy. What? No, no, no, no, no. Stay at that place. Actually. Say it. OK. You people are tired. No. No, you are. You are really tired. I'm going to give you a break for 5 minutes. Huh. Will we break her? OK. Now listen, listen, listen, listen. We are going to go for a lunch break at about 5:00.
