0:00The purpose of this teaching is not to
0:03punish
0:04those who leave the church.
0:10The purpose is to protect the flock of
0:12God.
0:19It is also to keep the door open
0:25for reconciliation where possible.
0:30There is a Bible verse that says,
0:34"As much as it depends on you,
0:38be at peace with all men."
0:43It didn't say, "Be at peace with all
0:45men." It said, "As much as
0:47It means some circumstance may make it
0:49very difficult to be at peace with all
0:51men.
0:56If it is possible,
0:59it means some circumstances, it may not
1:02be possible.
1:05Pastor, can you give us some of the
1:06circumstances
1:08that may make it possible?
1:11For instance, if somebody is in
1:13alignment with Satan, it's difficult to
1:15be at peace with that person.
1:18I wonder how much of love can make a
1:20serpent
1:22change from its venomous nature
1:25to a very harmonious and peaceful
1:28creature.
1:31In one of the teachings, I said, "No
1:32amount of bathing
1:35can wash the spots on a leopard."
1:40Sometimes, it is impossible because
1:43somebody has taken the place of Satan.
1:47It becomes impossible.
1:50How come that if somebody takes the
1:52place of Satan, it is impossible? If
1:54God,
1:56whom the Bible calls love
1:58is not able to love Satan.
2:01I don't think we can.
2:04Number two,
2:05if God
2:07could not change Satan,
2:10I am sure we can't.
2:14If Jesus could not be at peace with
2:16Judas,
2:18I am sure that it is not possible under
2:20some circumstance.
2:24If Jesus could not be at peace
2:27with Herod, I don't think we can.
2:32Even if we try, it may not succeed.
2:36I am explaining this Bible verse in
2:39Romans 12:18. It says,
2:41"If it is possible." That if is a very
2:44big word.
2:47It means in some circumstances
2:50it is possible.
2:52In other circumstances, it is
2:55impossible.
2:57One of the ways that it is impossible is
3:00when the person you are seeking to be at
3:02peace with is unwilling
3:06to be at peace with you.
3:09You want to be close the person but he
3:11say, "Please, please, please, please,
3:14please, I am not Please, please."
3:17In that case, it becomes impossible
3:22to be at peace
3:25with all men.
3:30In Romans,
3:32we have a lot to say in Romans.
3:40Chapter 16,
3:44verse 17.
3:47I am When I finish giving all these
3:49Bible verses,
3:51then I give the points.
3:54So, I'm giving 10 Bible verses.
3:58These Bible verses are God's own way
4:02God's own counsel on this matter.
4:07It is God's own prescription
4:11for this condition.
4:14What does he say? He says, "I Now I urge
4:17you, brethren,
4:20note
4:21In other words, take notice
4:24of those who cause divisions
4:29and offenses
4:33contrary to the doctrine which you have
4:35learned.
4:37Then a very big statement says,
4:41"And avoid them."
4:46This is clear.
4:47It means if somebody leaves a church
4:51and embarks on a teaching contrary to
4:54that which you have received, avoid
4:57them.
5:00If somebody leaves a church and starts
5:02criticizing tithe,
5:04it's a doctrine you have received. The
5:06Bible says,
5:07"Preach to them."
5:09Hello?
5:11The Bible says that "Reason with them."
5:14God says you are full of the Holy Ghost,
5:16therefore negotiate with them.
5:19What does the Bible say that oh, they
5:21maybe they they have a problem, so help
5:23them and and counsel them. Is that what
5:25is there?
5:26The Bible says what?
5:29I'm preaching from my book Mark and
5:31Avoid.
5:33The chapter on how to relate with those
5:37who leave the church.
5:41This scripture says, "Now give me ESV."
5:46I appeal to you. It's like saying I am
5:49begging you.
5:53BROTHERS
5:55I AM APPEALING TO YOU to watch out
5:59for those who cause divisions and create
6:02obstacles
6:05contrary to the doctrine that you have
6:07been taught.
6:09Then he says, "Avoid them."
6:14Number two
6:17I said I'm giving the Bible verses.
6:18Afterwards, I give the
6:22Please, I'm not saying that we have a
6:24problem with somebody. I'm just giving a
6:27medicine
6:29for a sickness that has not yet come
6:31because
6:32prevention is better than cure.
6:36Some sicknesses, they
6:38when they attack you, you can't do
6:40anything about it.
6:43I'm talking in physical sense.
6:46Some
6:47a sickness called cancer, when it
6:49happens
6:52medical interventions cannot work.
6:56Yes, no matter the money you have.
6:59So, rather than trying to
7:01get medicine when you just prevent it
7:03from happening
7:06and you'll be helped.
7:08Number two
7:09We are talking about Bible verses.
7:12I Do you like the Bible?
7:16Okay.
7:20Titus
7:27chapter 3 verse 10 and 11.
7:31He says
7:34Embrace. Is that what you see there?
7:38Welcome. Is Is it says there?
7:42Have a nice chat with Is that what you
7:45see there?
7:47It says reject
7:49a divisive man
7:52after the first and second admonition
7:57knowing that such a person is warped and
8:01sinning
8:03being self-condemned. See, this is quite
8:06warped and self-condemned is is like big
8:09English, isn't it?
8:10So, let's look at it from ESV. Now, if
8:12the ESV doesn't help, we'll go out and
8:14we'll find a verse that helps us.
8:17As for a person
8:19who stirs up division
8:25after warning him once and then twice,
8:28have nothing more to do with him.
8:34Since we ARE NOW WISER THAN GOD
8:38AND WE SAY, "OH, IT'S PASTOR FRED, WHO
8:39IS JUST TELLING HER WHY IS IT THAT
8:41SOMEBODY HAS LEFT THE CHURCH AND WE
8:42CAN'T BE FRIENDS. WHY ARE WE NOT
8:44PLEASED?" I AM SAYING THAT IF GOD COULD
8:46not love Satan
8:48and if God could not be at peace
8:51with Satan and could not change HIM SO
8:54WHY IS THE PERSON SATAN AND HOW IS HE
8:56HERE?
8:58IS IT NOT THE SAME SATAN WHO WENT TO
9:00ACCUSE THE BRETHREN against God
9:03and God against
9:04uh
9:06the people?
9:08IF HE CAN STIR DIVISION between the
9:10creation and the creator
9:12and SUCCEEDED IN TURNING ADAM and Eve
9:15into PIECES OF BREAD
9:18THAT THEY WERE NO MORE in peace or at
9:20peace with THEIR MAKER
9:23THEN ANYBODY THAT TRIES TO DIVIDE YOU
9:25and God
9:27is like Satan.
9:34And since we ARE NOW MORE SPIRITUAL than
9:37God and more spiritual than the Bible.
9:39I am only talking to Bible BELIEVING
9:42CHURCH.
9:44LOVE RAIN HAND CLAPPING CHURCH.
9:47LOVE RAIN
9:49CHOREOGRAPHY CHURCH.
9:52LOVE RAIN PREACHING CHURCH.
9:55LOVE RAIN WHAT?
9:57BIBLE CHURCH. SO, EVERYTHING WE DO IS
10:00BIBLE BASED.
10:05LOOK AT THE VERSE 11. THE VERSE 10 SAYS,
10:07"HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM." Verse 11
10:10says that
10:11knowing that such a That word warped, I
10:14don't like it.
10:17So, give us the
10:19American Standard Version, the Message
10:22Bible, the Living Bible, Amplified
10:25Bible,
10:27the Passion
10:30whatever.
10:32It says,
10:33"IT'S OBVIOUS THAT SUCH A PERSON IS OUT
10:35OF LINE."
10:39Even this word the out of line is still
10:40idiomatic.
10:42THEN IT SAYS,
10:43"REBELLIOUS AGAINST GOD."
10:46Because the word there is they are
10:47sinning, BUT SINCE WE ARE ALL OF US SAY
10:50ALL THIS THE SIN ACTUALLY IS A REBELLION
10:52AGAINST GOD.
10:55BUT PERSISTENT IN DIVISIVENESS,
10:58he cuts It's not that we are CUTTING
11:01HIM. HE ACTUALLY is cutting himself off.
11:05Recently, I saw somebody put a message
11:07on her status on Mother's Day, and this
11:10was the message. I want to thank God so
11:12much for my mother, what a sweet mother.
11:14Five years ago, WHEN I LEFT A CHURCH,
11:16they didn't understand me, but my
11:18mother, you stood with me. So, I sent
11:21her a message, and I said, "People like
11:23you are the reason why it is very
11:25difficult to love the flock of God. You
11:27are such a wicked and ungrateful human
11:29being."
11:32And I said, "WHAT HAS MOTHER'S DAY GOT
11:34TO DO WITH
11:35speaking against a church?" And in case
11:38you don't know, I'm coming to tell you
11:39who this person number one.
11:42This person stayed with a Love Reign
11:43pastor for almost 2 YEARS.
11:46NEVER PAY electricity bill, never pay
11:48water bill, ATE AND FELT or herself
11:50free.
11:55DID HER NATIONAL SERVICE IN PETER AND
11:57ALYSSA'S HOUSE AND STAYED WITH SOMETHING
11:59FOR 2 YEARS.
12:03SHE JUST WOKE UP ONE DAY WE COULDN'T
12:04FIND HER.
12:06AND THAT WAS ALL.
12:08ONLY FOR 5 YEARS LATER
12:12HE IS NOW INSULTING THE CHURCH.
12:15AND I SAID, "SINCE YOU HAVE BROUGHT YOUR
12:17MOTHER INSIDE, I want TO REMIND YOU
12:20THAT WHEN YOU MANIFESTED IN YOUR HOUSE
12:23AND YOU BECAME MAD IN YOUR HOUSE, I AM
12:25THE ONE YOUR MOTHER CALLED. In 30
12:27minutes you started talking.
12:29FOOLISH GIRL.
12:44THEN HE SAID, "OH,
12:45MAYBE YOU HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD MY POINT.
12:50PAPA,
12:53IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
12:57ELDER ABCD AND I didn't UNDERSTAND EACH
13:01OTHER." AND I SAID, "YOU ARE FOOLISH
13:02GIRL ONCE AGAIN.
13:04IF ELDER ABCD HAD A PROBLEM WITH YOU,
13:07WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH THE
13:08CHURCH?"
13:13NOW, MY STATEMENT IS THIS. IT'S
13:15HOW COME THAT ALMOST AFTER 5 YEARS
13:19YOU HAVE NEVER CONTACTED ANYBODY IN THE
13:21CHURCH, YOU HAVE NEVER SPOKEN TO ANYBODY
13:24IN THE CHURCH, YOU HAVE NEVER INTERACTED
13:26WITH ANYBODY IN THE CHURCH. HOW COME
13:28THAT AFTER 5 YEARS YOU ARE STILL WRITING
13:30AGAINST THE CHURCH THAT HAS DONE NOTHING
13:32AGAINST YOU?
13:34WHAT HAS I ASKED HER WHAT HAS THE CHURCH
13:36DONE AGAINST YOU, YOU IN PARTICULAR.
13:39WHAT MENTION ONE THING THE CHURCH HAS
13:40DONE AGAINST YOU AND YOU ARE POSTING ON
13:42YOUR STATUS INSULTING THE CHURCH.
13:50SHE ENTERED INTO A RELATIONSHIP.
13:52SHE CAME TO SEE ME WITH A BOY. I prayed
13:54for them and I ENCOURAGED THEM.
13:56WHEN THEY WERE COMING TO MARRY THEY SAID
13:57THEY WOULD NOT DO WEDDING.
13:59THEY WANT to do and I SAID THAT WEDDING
14:01HAS A psychological effect on marriage.
14:05You will have to come TO THE POINT WHERE
14:08AFTER YOU HAVE SIGNED A PAPER YOU WILL
14:10HAVE TO BE CONVINCED THAT YOU ARE
14:11MARRIED. THAT THING IS AFFECTED BY THE
14:14WAY THE FESTIVITY, THE ACTIVITIES CREATE
14:17A CERTAIN CONSCIOUSNESS that you ARE
14:19MARRIED. YOU CAN BE MARRIED AND YOU
14:20DON'T EVEN NOTICE YOU ARE MARRIED.
14:22SO EVEN IF IT IS A PROBLEM, I WILL
14:24PERSONALLY HELP YOU TO DO THE WEDDING
14:26AND PAY EVERYTHING TO HELP YOU.
14:28I TOLD HER IF SHE DOESN'T IF SHE THINKS
14:30SHE'S A CHRISTIAN she should go and say
14:31I didn't SAY THAT.
14:34SHE MARRIED WITHOUT INVITING anybody in
14:36the church.
14:37And why would you she have a problem
14:39with the church like this? A CHURCH THAT
14:41HAS FAILED YOU AND UP TO DATE I DON'T
14:42UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS ANYBODY DONE AGAINST
14:44YOU.
14:47NONE OF YOUR NAME HAS NEVER COME UP IN
14:49THE CHURCH. NOBODY EVEN KNOWS YOU EXIST.
14:53BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT these people
14:56their wishes and expectations when they
14:58do not happen
15:00in other words, they were expecting THAT
15:02THIS THING WILL NOT WORK.
15:04AND WHEN THEY SEE IT DOING WELL, IT
15:06PROVOKES A RESENTMENT AND UNHAPPINESS IN
15:09THEM. THAT IS WHAT STIRS THAT REACTION
15:11IN THEM. IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING.
15:21Then she said
15:23oh, out of my respect for you, then I
15:25will delete it."
15:29What respect is this?
15:31What respect is this?
15:38MOTHER'S DAY. WON'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?
15:40HELLO, MOMMY. THANK YOU SO MUCH for
15:42being there FOR ME. YOU ARE A WONDERFUL
15:44WOMAN. I SAID TO HER, "IS THAT NOT WHAT
15:45YOU WRITE ON MOTHER'S DAY?"
15:52NO, NO, NO. Let us reason together. WHAT
15:55WHAT WHAT WHAT DO YOU JUST CELEBRATE?
15:57YOU ARE EVEN MAKING THE CHURCH ISSUE
15:58OVERSHADOW the mother you are
16:00celebrating.
16:15Isn't it strange?
16:18This guy's wife s-
16:20I was at where in Virginia.
16:22S-
16:23S-
16:24The wife told me,
16:25"Is this pastor still in Love Reign?"
16:27And I said, "Yes.
16:29He's a wonderful man of God."
16:31He said,
16:32"This girl came to tell me that
16:35This girl was staying with me, and the
16:37girl said,
16:38'I will personally remove that pastor
16:39from the church.
16:41We have been talking.
16:42And my vision is to remove him from the
16:44church.'
16:46A sheep
16:47telling, prophesying the removal of a
16:50shepherd.
16:57Then If I'm lying, I'm just continue.
16:59Then the wife said, "The girl said that
17:01my greatest prayer is that Love Reign
17:03will collapse."
17:05Then this guy's wife said, "You are
17:06becoming demonic."
17:09"You are becoming demonic. I've been in
17:11that church before."
17:16He said, "You are becoming demonic."
17:18What What What shocked me I What What
17:20What shocked me is that I will remove
17:21the pastor. We have been talking.
17:23I will remove him. It's a matter of
17:25time.
17:32At the time
17:33that they were talking, that pastor
17:35actually was shaking.
17:37To the point that one time in a prayer
17:38meeting, I said, "Let's pray for this
17:39guy. He's going off."
17:43And at the time I didn't even know that
17:44this is somebody's
17:46interrogation that has been going on.
17:51A person can say he's removing a pastor.
17:55How much more
17:57a a a a sheep?
18:13Somebody's kindness to you
18:16may be a serpentine approach
18:19to take you out of the place of your
18:21blessing.
18:27Your wife even gave me money.
18:34He said, "But it's the same church I've
18:35also been in.
18:38How come you're speaking bad about the
18:39church? I'm also in the church."
18:44A city set on a hill can never be
18:46hidden.
18:54As a pastor, somebody wishes you dead,
18:56but he doesn't have the power to execute
18:58his wishes.
19:00One of the greatest problem a pastor can
19:02have
19:03is to deceive himself to think that
19:05everybody likes him.
19:08You are Satan's first and foremost
19:10target. He didn't say strike the strike
19:13the shepherd, the sheep. SO, THE FIRST
19:15STRIKE IS TO THE SHEPHERD.
19:26Those who say they promise them liberty
19:27while they themselves are bound.
19:33Strange. So, we are just talking about
19:34how to relate you know
19:36the the the how to relate with people
19:38who leave the church.
19:40You like more verses?
19:50GIVE ME ANOTHER VERSE BECAUSE THE WARPS
19:53THE WARPS
19:56the warps
19:58or warped.
20:03Give me verse FROM THE VERSE 10.
20:07AS FOR A MAN WHO IS
20:09factious
20:12The WORD FACTIOUS MEANS FACTION.
20:15I BELONG TO THIS CAMP. I belong When
20:17somebody is like that
20:19he IS ALSO A SECTARIAN.
20:24A HERETICAL SECTARIAN. The word
20:27sectarian means sect. So, a heretical
20:30sect. In other words, a deviating sect.
20:34A sect that has gone off the line like
20:37the other version will say.
20:40AFTER
20:41TELL HIM THAT I THINK WHAT you are doing
20:43is not good.
20:44You should change from TWO TWO HE SAID
20:46He didn't say three times. One and two.
20:51Say pastor.
20:52Why not one, two, three?
20:55Because God is wiser than you and I.
21:00ADMONISHING FIRST AND SECOND TIME, HE
21:02SAYS, "REJECT HIM from your fellowship."
21:09AND HAVE NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH HIM.
21:11I'M PREACHING THE BIBLE. I SAID,
21:13"ANYTHING I SAY, IF IT IS NOT IN THE
21:15BIBLE." SO, IF YOU ACTUALLY YOU ARE IN
21:17CONTACT WITH A REBEL, YOU ARE actually
21:19in error.
21:20AND WE SHOULD AS WELL ADVISE AVOID YOU
21:22BECAUSE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOU DON'T
21:23UNDERSTAND IT.
21:31Most of the people who sit on social
21:33media TO INSULT CHURCHES, WHY
21:36I WOULD WANT THEM TO ALSO MENTION WHAT
21:37THEY HAVE DONE.
21:39BECAUSE YOU SEE, EVERY CHURCH IS MOVING
21:41AROUND LOOKING FOR MEMBERS. WHY WOULD A
21:42CHURCH AVOID YOU AND KEEP YOU OUT OF THE
21:44CHURCH WHEN WE ARE LOOKING FOR MEMBERS?
21:46MENTION YOUR WHAT YOU DID. SAY IT.
21:48MENTION ALL THE FOOLISH THINGS YOU HAVE
21:50SOON EVERYBODY WILL UNDERSTAND.
21:55I WANT TO SAY THINGS THAT I WAS IN A
21:56CHURCH. THE CHURCH IS ON RECORD. WE
21:58SHOULD ASK THAT
22:00WHAT YOU WERE YOU THE FATTEST PRIEST? I
22:03FEEL LIKE YOU WERE THE FATTEST PRIEST.
22:16IN MY LIFE AS A PASTOR,
22:18THERE IS NOBODY THAT HAS COME TO ME THAT
22:20is leaving church. And I'm saying it on
22:22record.
22:23I'm standing before God.
22:25If I am lying,
22:27GOD IS MY JUDGE. THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE
22:30PERSON THAT HAS COME to me and wants to
22:31leave church, and I told the person he
22:33shouldn't.
22:37One of them, I even ASKED HER THAT
22:39"WOULD YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU TO CHOOSE
22:40A CHURCH?" I DON'T NEED IT.
22:44YES.
22:46ONE OF THEM, I TOLD HER THAT "THE WAY
22:48YOU ARE, I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE VERY ANGRY,
22:50BUT YOU WHY YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THE
22:52REASON? IS IT POSSIBLE TO STAY FOR LIKE
22:543 MONTHS
22:56SO THAT NOT THAT YOU CAN LEAVE AFTER THE
22:583 MONTHS, SO THAT YOUR HEART WILL GO
23:00DOWN BEFORE YOU CAN LEAVE, SO THAT YOU
23:01ARE LEAVING WITH SOME JOY AND AND NOT
23:03with grief.
23:06Say no, I'm leaving now.
23:10Number two,
23:11THERE IS NOBODY THAT HAS ever told me
23:13that I'm going to marry or enter into a
23:15relationship with A, B, or C and I said
23:17don't do it.
23:20If you are the one, lift your hands and
23:22let me hear.
23:25NOT THAT I AGREED WITH EVERY CHOICE.
23:28SOME OF THEM I DIDN'T AGREE, BUT I
23:29COULDN'T say it.
23:35Well, it's not every It's not every
23:37truth you say.
23:39It's not every truth you say.
23:48Well aware that such a person is utterly
23:51changed.
23:53I love that part. He said, HE HAS
23:55CHANGED.
23:56HOW CAN SOMEBODY THAT YOU USED TO TEACH
23:58the things that you are criticizing
24:00today? You were the one promoting. What
24:01happened? You have utterly changed.
24:06You used to say love rain or marha.
24:14You used to say love rain or death. HAVE
24:16THEY PUT UP WHY WHY IS THE TV OFF? Is it
24:18because they have gone offline?
24:21I want to know why.
24:31Oh, I love that verse.
24:38Well aware.
24:39Well aware.
24:44Pastor,
24:46has there ever been somebody leaving
24:48this church and you keep fellowship with
24:49them? Yes.
24:53If you ask me,
24:54I I mention some of them to you.
24:57Even Pastor Joel here used to be around.
25:00How many years were you here?
25:01>> 3 years.
25:01>> 3 years he was here. Now he's a founder
25:04of his own church.
25:08Before he started his own church, he
25:10came to see me.
25:11I prayed for him and I blessed him.
25:14He has been in THIS CHURCH FOR 3 YEARS.
25:17HE NOW HAS HIS OWN CHURCH, NOT A LOVELY
25:19CHURCH. ARE WE NOT TALKING?
25:22SO, WHY DO YOU SAY THAT WE SHOULD I'M
25:24SAYING THAT THERE ARE SOME TYPE.
25:31SOME TYPE.
25:33DID YOU STILL HAVE MEMBERS?
25:35YOU DOING SOME PASTOR WINFREY.
25:39OH.
25:40YOU DO SAY THAT OH, WHEN I WAS IN LOVE
25:42WITH HER, I WAS NEVER BLESSED.
25:49WOW.
25:57WELL, I WENT THERE AND SAID the person
25:59is utterly changed. Not just a good
26:01change, it's perverted
26:03and corrupted.
26:05He goes on sinning.
26:09So, you see the thing now? I'm coming to
26:10SHOW YOU ONE OF THE PEOPLE you can never
26:12and ever keep relationship somebody who
26:14continues sinning.
26:16Yes, because I'm just TELLING YOU NOW
26:18HOW SHOULD
26:19how should I relate or who should I
26:21relate to? And I'm just saying that some
26:22people you can't relate with them.
26:26He said even though the person is
26:27convicted of guilt, he himself knows
26:29what he's doing is wrong.
26:31And he is self-condemned. In other
26:33words, he now has put a curse on
26:34himself.
26:37Stay away.
26:38I'm not the one saying it, please.
26:40Except
26:41Do somebody Do you have a better
26:43explanation?
26:44We don't even have to explain anything.
26:46The thing is there.
26:47The thing is there.
26:49But always you read it in so that you
26:51understand.
26:54Oba okay. Oba okay.
27:02Onokwa?
27:05Numwe?
27:10Number three.
27:12Second Thessalonians chapter three.
27:15Please, I'm preaching from my book Mark
27:18and avoid.
27:22The chapter on how to relate with those
27:25who leave the church.
27:31And number three.
27:32I said second Thessalonians, right?
27:35Verse chapter three verse six.
27:38Give me a hand. He said, "But we command
27:41you
27:42Ask the person beside you the word
27:44command, what does it mean?"
27:49Wonderful.
27:51He says, "I command you brethren in the
27:53name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
27:56Hey.
27:57IT'S LIKE SAYING
28:01I
28:02IT'S LIKE THAT.
28:07I DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT IS LIKE A SWEAR.
28:09IT'S HEY, I
28:11SWEAR.
28:15IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
28:19THAT YOU WITHDRAW FROM EVERY BROTHER WHO
28:21WALKS DISORDERLY.
28:25How do YOU MEASURE THE DISORDER? IT
28:27SAYS, "NOT ACCORDING TO the tradition
28:29which we have received from us."
28:31This is PAUL PREACHING THAT ANYBODY that
28:34is
28:34saying something against what you have
28:37received from Pastor Dorcas Rigfred.
28:38Because the tradition simply means that
28:40the CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES THAT YOU HAVE
28:42RECEIVED. CUSTOM AND PRACTICES THAT
28:44MARRY EARLY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
28:47SO I SAID, NO, NO, NO. THIS CHURCH THEY
28:49MENTION THIS, THEY TALK ABOUT THIS. THEY
28:50SAY, "HEY!" HE
28:51SAYS, "I SWEAR." HEY!
28:54WITHDRAW.
28:56AND HE SAYS, "Not a request." So the
28:58first one is appeal, this one is not
28:59appeal. It's a command.
29:03I before I started preach, I said we are
29:04not punishing people who leave the
29:05church. We are protecting the flock of
29:08God.
29:12And number two, TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS
29:14ANY POSSIBILITY of reconciling or being
29:17at peace with them because sometimes not
29:19possible. And I quoted it. He said, "If
29:20it is possible
29:22if it is possible.
29:24And these verses make it impossible.
29:27He says that you keep away from any
29:29brother who is working
29:31in idleness and not in accord with the
29:35tradition that you have received from
29:37us.
29:38Let's read the letter, verse seven.
29:42Oh, leka shukalaba.
29:49We showed you how to pull your weight
29:50when we were with you. So get on with
29:52it.
29:53Give us New King James. Let's finish the
29:55verse seven first.
29:59For you yourselves know how you ought to
30:01follow us.
30:03For we are not disorderly among you.
30:06We are not.
30:11Wow.
30:15Should we read another verse?
30:19This verse what did he say?
30:21He said, "I command you to do what?"
30:24To do what?
30:27To withdraw.
30:29WHEN YOU TAKE your money from the bank,
30:30it is called withdrawn, isn't it?
30:32When you withdraw money from the bank,
30:34is it still in the bank?
30:36What you have withdrawn means you have
30:37kept away from.
30:41Number four. I think I feel like I feel
30:43like I finished preaching.
30:50When you when you read one of the
30:52versions one of the Bible verses is not
30:55part of this preaching.
30:56One of the shocking thing is I said the
30:58companion of fools will be destroyed.
31:01It shocks me didn't say the the fools
31:02will be destroyed.
31:05Their companions.
31:08I've never seen anybody who ever walked
31:10with rebels.
31:12Even when they didn't join them and they
31:13have ever been the same.
31:16Not even one.
31:17They can't enjoy church even though they
31:19come they can't flow with people they
31:21can't interact. They don't know that
31:23those are the effects
31:26of breaking the code of the Bible. Those
31:28are the effects of rebellion against the
31:30Bible.
31:32When was the last time you stood on your
31:33feet and prayed for three hours? You
31:35can't.
31:36You can't.
31:42You can't. You can't sit down and read
31:44your Bible. You can't. The grace is
31:46taken away.
31:49That's the companion of fools. They are
31:51being destroyed in this context.
31:56People who really criticize the Bible.
31:59Yesterday I was in a plane I met a man
32:00of God who spoke against the Bible. He
32:02said he's a pastor.
32:04He looked at me
32:06and in my mind a pastor I'm praying said
32:08honor does not despite greatness I said
32:10I refuse to recognize this foolish
32:11greatness.
32:14Now how can you be a pastor and you
32:15speak against the Bible?
32:22I was just two seats ahead of him. He's
32:23far OLDER THAN ME. I WOULD HAVE
32:24NATURALLY GONE TO greet him.
32:27In fact there was sitting another man of
32:29God at this side that I went to greet.
32:30We had some nice chat. But this one I
32:32completely avoided him. But you can't
32:34criticize the Bible and expect
32:36fellowship.
32:37I know I'm not he's not expecting it,
32:38but I don't want to be in error.
32:45If you have check
32:47THE THINGS HE'S SAYING HE'S NOT EVEN
32:48TALKING about people who are sinning on.
32:51If you check very well, he's he's
32:53talking about rebellion
32:55in a certain way.
32:57Disobedience.
32:59They are not just ordinary sinners.
33:02I talk about signs of people who have
33:04repented. I said those who justify their
33:05sin have not repented. These are people
33:07who justify their sin.
33:11They saw nothing wrong with what they
33:12did.
33:16Number four. Was it three or four?
33:20Please, when you are tired, let me know.
33:24First Corinthians
33:31This one is is I call it what? A
33:33bombshell.
33:35First Corinthians chapter 5 verse 11.
33:38What a bombshell.
33:41He said, "But I am writing to you."
33:44Okay, this one says writing. The ESV SAY
33:46WRITING.
33:47"BUT NOW I HAVE WRITTEN to you not to
33:49keep company."
33:51What does it mean to keep company? In
33:53other words, don't walk with the person.
33:55Who is
33:56you keep company WITH ANYONE NAMED A
33:58BROTHER
34:00who is such No, I have a problem with
34:02this verse.
34:03He didn't say, "Listen, I have written
34:05to you not to keep company with
34:08someone who is sexually immoral."
34:11He said the one who's named a brother.
34:15So, it's a It looks as if it is even
34:17safe to walk with an unbeliever who is a
34:20sexually immoral than a believer who is
34:22sexually immoral.
34:27He'll Bluetooth you into it.
34:31Well, it's possible But it's possible
34:33sexually immoral. He cannot tell you to
34:35stay away from your father. So he said a
34:36brother.
34:40It's all not only sexually immoral, it's
34:43also sexually covetous.
34:48Covetous.
34:50People who
34:51wish to have what you have.
35:00They are covetous people.
35:02They are also idolaters. They worship
35:04idols.
35:08Recently I was preaching and I said stay
35:09away from football.
35:12It's an idol worship.
35:16Yeah.
35:18Nobody can say it.
35:20Nobody.
35:21Because what has replaced God in the
35:23lives of people is an idol. Basically,
35:26that's what it means.
35:33Or a reviler.
35:37Or a drunkard.
35:40Or an extortioner.
35:43He said you shouldn't even do what?
35:49You are a man of God. There's a pastor
35:51who holds the Bible and said that your
35:53house is for me. God says bring. He's an
35:54extortioner.
35:57It's It's dangerous to walk with a
35:59pastor like that.
36:02There are certain pastors you relate to
36:04them with a from a distance. Some you
36:05relate to them closely. You relate
36:07closely with those you seek to
36:09experience fellowship and transaction
36:12of grace.
36:15Or they have become
36:17uh drunkards, extortioners, revilers,
36:19idolaters, covetous, sexually immoral.
36:23Yes.
36:24Not even to eat with
36:30What does it mean not to eat with? You
36:32you don't even just eat or you sleep in
36:33the same house.
36:36My God.
36:39My God.
36:41My God.
36:43Pastor, what if this person has been
36:45good to me?
36:47What if this person is the one who gave
36:49me a wife?
36:50This one is the one who gave me my first
36:52car.
36:54What will you do? What if the person is
36:55the one who brought you to church?
37:00To make it even deeper and closer, he
37:02said somebody who is a brother.
37:04All the things I've mentioned is no
37:06closer than a brother.
37:10It's off.
37:12Am I communicating?
37:14Or am I am being too harsh?
37:17Are you sure?
37:19Because you see you don't understand why
37:21people rise up against churches. It
37:23begins from here.
37:25When they enter into those things, then
37:27that is when they become completely
37:29changed.
37:31Don't forget the verse. They have been
37:33completely changed.
37:38There are certain things when somebody
37:39says it is a sign the person has gone
37:41into some unknown places.
37:44Yeah.
37:48You see, by the time you are seeing the
37:49scene of Absalom.
37:53Look.
37:54I have contacted things.
37:58Satan Ahithophel is afraid.
38:02Or else you can't.
38:04Who embodying you on this path?
38:09Salvation is here.
38:13Can I lift your hands go to them?
38:18Okay.
38:19Number five.
38:23Is it number five or six?
38:25This one I didn't get the ESV but I got
38:27it.
38:29ESV amplify. Let's amplify that thing
38:31and see. Or passion. Is it not
38:34at all, meaning the sexually immoral of
38:36this world. Oh, verse nine.
38:4210 and 11. I wrote to you in that my
38:44letter not to associate with sexually
38:45immoral people. Next verse.
38:48Not at all, meaning the sexually immoral
38:50of this world or the greedy swindlers or
38:52idolaters. He said,
38:53I'm not saying sinners in the world.
38:56Oh, if that is the case then you have to
38:57go to heaven today.
38:59Because the watch seller you are eating
39:00from is not a correct person. The
39:02teacher who is teaching you. So, I'm not
39:03talking about sexually immoral in the
39:05world.
39:06I'm talking about those who call
39:07themselves brothers. He says, not even
39:09to eat with them.
39:11Next verse.
39:14Do you like the verses?
39:16If you don't like it, you are like you
39:17you are you are allowed to just keep
39:19quiet.
39:27Hey, this one that I can't say it.
39:34This Bible verse that I can't read it.
39:39Second John.
39:42I'm not saying John, no. Second John.
39:43There's first John, second John, third
39:44John.
39:45Second John.
39:471 verse 10
39:48to 11.
39:53He says, the elder he's actually writing
39:55his CV.
39:58Verse 10.
40:02Oh.
40:05If anyone comes to you
40:09and does not bring this teaching we are
40:11talking about
40:15and starts criticizing THIS TEACHING
40:19IF MIGHT EVEN DO ANYTHING
40:21WITH THE WAY
40:22HE'S COMING TO THE VERSE 11, YOU SEE IT.
40:25Do not receive him into your house.
40:28NUMBER TWO,
40:29DO NOT GREET HIM.
40:31NUMBER THREE, FOR IF YOU GREET HIM,
40:34YOU ARE PART OF HIS SINS.
40:48WHAT A VERSE.
40:51THAT'S WHY I SAID THIS ONE, I CAN'T READ
40:53IT.
40:54HE SAYS, "IF YOU GREET HIM,
40:56THE THE THE CURSES WE HAVE PUT ON HIM IS
40:59ALSO COMING TO YOU. THAT IS WHY THE
41:01COMPANION OF FOOLS WILL BE DESTROYED."
41:04YOU SHARE HIS SINS.
41:12HALLELUJAH, EH.
41:15HALLELUJAH, OH.
41:18HALLELUJAH, EH.
41:20IT'S THE SOUND OF VICTORY. WHAT DID HE
41:23SAY THERE?
41:24GIVE ME THE VERSE 10. I didn't hear I
41:26didn't see the thing. I DIDN'T SEE.
41:28IF ANYONE COMES TO YOU OKAY, OKAY. HE
41:31SAYS, "AND DOES not bring this
41:32teaching." CAN WE NOW CHECK THAT
41:33TEACHING?
41:34Let's start from VERSE ONE.
41:37THE ELDER
41:42THE ELDER TO THE ELECT LADY AND HER
41:44CHILDREN.
41:46WHOM I LOVE IN TRUTH AND NOT ONLY are
41:48but also all who LOVE THE TRUTH.
41:52BECAUSE OF THE GIVE ME AN I
41:54SORRY, NEW KING James New King James.
41:56When we get to the 10, now you can
41:57change it to wherever you want to go.
41:59We just want to understand the TEACHING
42:01THAT HE SAYS IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T bring
42:03What is that teaching?
42:07Verse two.
42:08Please, I'M READING THE BIBLE.
42:11BECAUSE OF THE TRUTH WHICH ABIDES IN US
42:13AND WILL BE WITH US FOREVER.
42:15GRACE, MERCY, PEACE BE WITH YOU AND FROM
42:17GOD THE FATHER AND FROM OUR Lord Jesus
42:19Christ, the Son of our Father, in truth
42:20AND LOVE.
42:22I REJOICE GREATLY THAT I HAVE FOUND SOME
42:24OF YOUR CHILDREN WALKING IN TRUTH AS YOU
42:26RECEIVED commandment from the Father.
42:29This
42:31The one at the back there.
42:34And now I plead with you, OH LADY, LADY,
42:38NOT AS THOUGH I WRITE A NEW COMMANDMENT
42:41TO YOU, BUT THAT WHICH WE HAVE HAD FROM
42:44THE BEGINNING, THAT WE LOVE one another.
42:49LISTEN CAREFULLY. YOU THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
42:51LOVED, YOU DON'T WANT TO SHOW LOVE.
42:53AND IN MOST CASES, rebels are the most
42:55loved.
42:56If Satan God has endured Satan for these
42:59years, you can see that God has even
43:00loved him.
43:02And most of the time, by the time
43:03somebody becomes a rebel, you can see
43:05that he has been greatly loved, but he
43:08did not actually reciprocate it.
43:12Some of them, when their hearts were
43:14were not working,
43:16they they were helped with surgeries,
43:20paid.
43:24Some of them, when they were coming to
43:26marry and didn't even have bride price,
43:28it was paid for them.
43:32SOME OF THEM, HOUSES THEY WERE HELPED TO
43:35BUILD a house.
43:39And they did not walk in this doctrine.
43:42He says, "For this is love that we walk
43:44according to this his commandment. This
43:46is the commandment that as you have
43:47heard from the beginning, you should
43:48walk in it." Next verse.
43:50"For many deceivers have gone out into
43:52the world, who do not confess Jesus as
43:54coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver
43:55and an antichrist."
43:57Look to yourselves,
43:59that we do not lose those things which
44:01we worked for,
44:04but that we may receive a full reward. A
44:06full reward means that
44:08the things that you you were working for
44:09and you didn't
44:11continue. You just have You were
44:12building a ministry and you just That's
44:15the point.
44:16Whoever transgresses and does not abide
44:17in the doctrine of Christ does not have
44:19God.
44:20The doctrine of Christ is a preservation
44:22of the church, the love for the church,
44:23the love for the body.
44:25He who abides in the doctrine of Christ
44:26has both the Father and the Son.
44:28Then he says,
44:29"If anyone does not come
44:32to you and does not bring this teaching
44:35that we should love the church, preserve
44:37the church,
44:38stand for the That's the doctrine of the
44:40Christ."
44:42is the church.
44:45He didn't say the doctrine of Jesus.
44:47There are differences.
44:50"Do not receive him into your house
44:52nor greet him."
44:54He said, "If you greet him, you have
44:55become a partaker in his sin."
44:58Somebody went to open his zipper.
45:01But you are a co-impregnator.
45:15Somebody went to drink his poison
45:18and the two of you are dying together.
45:24People don't know what the church is
45:25about.
45:27People don't know.
45:29I'm telling you as I interact with
45:31people, I realize that they don't know
45:33that striking the church is striking
45:34Jesus.
45:36They don't know.
45:41And I ask your wife,
45:43"What church does she attend?" She said,
45:44"Oh, for long ago
45:46she walks with some friends and they
45:47don't go to church."
45:50How come you stay in church?
45:55You can't say every church on earth is
45:57wrong.
45:58There's always a remnant, the Bible
46:00says.
46:01How come that with your deep revelation
46:02you couldn't identify the remnant?
46:06It means you are blind.
46:08You can't see.
46:11You can't see.
46:16Hey, hey, hey, hey,
46:16please.
46:18If you speak evil against this church,
46:20our relationship is over.
46:24As a man of God, one day I couldn't I
46:25couldn't walk.
46:27He was the only man of God who came to
46:29my house with an anointing oil to pray
46:32And I told him, "From today you are my
46:34brother."
46:35I showed me this life. Nobody
46:37How he had located my house was very
46:40difficult.
46:41Because my house is called Apliti Close.
46:46It It doesn't link any street.
46:49At the time.
46:51He kept circulating the area and
46:53couldn't find the place.
46:56And when you even find a place, which of
46:58the houses?
47:01The shocking thing that when he finally
47:02entered the house, the next thing is to
47:04locate the room because I couldn't come
47:05out.
47:07He started knocking on people's doors
47:08one by one.
47:11This house will not open. This house
47:12will not open. This house will not open.
47:13And then someone will say, "Winifred is
47:14here."
47:15And they brought him.
47:17One day,
47:18he started speaking against his
47:19spiritual father.
47:21And I told him, "I beg you."
47:24Our recognition and respect for
47:26relationship is based on doctrine.
47:29I cannot dishonor an authority to honor
47:32a relationship. If you stand against
47:34this man of God, our relationship is
47:36over.
47:37He didn't listen. That was the last time
47:39I spoke to him.
47:44He was good to me.
47:45But he does not uphold the truth.
47:48Avoid them.
47:54And then writing things online against
47:56his spiritual father.
47:58I said, "Please, I beg.
48:00Don't go there."
48:02Why? Because I know this thing brings
48:04curses. My relationship with you, the
48:06curse will be transferred to me.
48:08So, pastor, you actually preserving us?
48:10I was not preserving myself. I was
48:11upholding the truth. If a man does not
48:14walk in this truth,
48:18he'll be destroyed.
48:24Do you still love him?
48:25Yes.
48:28Do you still keep relationship? No.
48:31In my book on forgiveness, offenses,
48:33when I talk about forgiveness, I said to
48:35forgive does not mean to restore.
48:38If that is the case,
48:39then
48:41the man
48:43whose son the Bible referred to as
48:45prodigal son
48:46should have said, "All the things in the
48:48house, even though you have gone to
48:49spend the rest, I am restoring you to
48:51sonship. We are going to divide the
48:53remaining and give you a portion." He
48:54said, "No." He said, "Every thing." When
48:56the elder son complained, he said, "But
48:57everything is for you." Why? Because
49:00your your brother can't be restored. The
49:02restoration was in relationship, not in
49:04inheritance.
49:10It was shocking that there's some error
49:11when you commit in God. God will forgive
49:13you, but you'll never be a pastor again.
49:16God will restore you, but will never
49:17give you a global ministry again. God
49:18will RESTORE YOU, BUT WHERE HE INTENDED
49:21TO take you, let another take his
49:23bishopric.
49:29So, sometimes some of the errors
49:32actually removes us from our places of
49:34inheritance.
49:37The prodigal son was never given an
49:40inheritance.
49:42He told the
49:43elder son, "But all that I have is
49:45yours."
49:46He didn't say, "All that I you I I I I I
49:48have is ours."
49:50He said, "It is yours."
49:52He has taken his possession.
49:56This is the reason why even sometime
49:57when people repent, they can't be in the
49:59ministry again.
50:02Because they can never be restored.
50:07They can't.
50:10Usually, this is what the Bible called
50:12the sin which cannot be forgiven.
50:14It is actually a sin against the spirit.
50:16People don't know that the church is the
50:17spirit.
50:22Certain vehement attack against the
50:25church
50:26takes grace out of your life.
50:30It's not same as in
50:32human behavior. No, a sin as against the
50:36spirit.
50:41Not all sins are the same. The Bible
50:43says every sin is a sin, but some they
50:45are not the same.
50:48He said, "If you greet him." I didn't
50:51know that greeting Not that you talk to
50:52him, oh, you greet him. I DIDN'T KNOW
50:54THAT GREETING CERTAIN PEOPLE CAN make
50:55you partakers of their curses.
51:01Hello. And all of a sudden, you have
51:03Ebola. Can you imagine?
51:10DID COVID NOT TEACH US BUT THAT TALKING
51:13TO SOMEBODY CAN BE CONTAGIOUS AND
51:15DANGEROUS?
51:20COVID told us no handshake.
51:22No greetings. No pecks. And we were
51:25socially distanced from each other.
51:31Can I end here?
51:37Please, I said I'm giving medicine for a
51:39sickness that can show up one day.
51:46No matter what?
51:47Do you know that I've not given the
51:49points?
51:50I'm only giving the Bible verses.
51:59Sammy Kotey was playing keyboard for us.
52:01He has never attacked me once.
52:05We are friends.
52:08If he comes to my house, he's hungry,
52:09I'll feed him.
52:11If he needs a lady to marry and he
52:13brings the lady to me, I'll pray for the
52:15two of them and give them kiss.
52:17If he needs bride price assistance and I
52:19have, I will.
52:21Why?
52:23Even though he has left the church, he
52:24has not broken bridges.
52:30He He comes here all the time.
52:34Special meetings.
52:36He has never insulted the church and
52:38make it look like the church No, no, no,
52:40no.
52:42That's I say leaving a church is not the
52:44problem.
52:46But it's you and the heart you have.
52:50I have a teaching on the right way to
52:51leave a church.
52:53I think this can be an addendum.
52:56What verse are we on?
52:57Verse six.
53:04Yeah, six.
53:11Uh
53:16Matthew 18.
53:23Verse 17.
53:2816 and 17 and 18.
53:3116 said, "But if
53:33Now, this is the teachings of Jesus
53:35Christ.
53:37It's not Paul. That was all about Paul.
53:39Paul was not Jesus. This one is Jesus
53:40Christ.
53:41The man of love.
53:44The man of love.
53:47Do you love more than Jesus?
53:49Greater love has no man than this, that
53:52a man will lay down his life for the
53:54what?
53:55His brother.
53:56Jesus fulfilled that law.
53:58Jesus loved his brother more The Bible
54:00say love your neighbor as yourself.
54:01Jesus loved his neighbor more than
54:03himself.
54:04For he laid down his life for his
54:05neighbor.
54:08So he didn't love us equally. If he were
54:10loving us equally, he wouldn't die for
54:11us.
54:13And this is why Jesus said, "If a
54:14brother commits an offense,
54:17firstly,
54:18talk to him. If he does not hear,
54:21take with you one or two more,
54:24that by the mouth of two or three
54:26witnesses every word may be established.
54:29After you have gone to somebody to talk
54:31to the person and still the person is
54:32not changing, look at the next verse.
54:35If he refuses to hear them,
54:37tell it to the church.
54:40Hello pastor, this person is saying
54:42this.
54:44But if he refuses even to hear the
54:46church,
54:48let that person be to you
54:54like a fetish priest.
55:05Like a heathen and a tax collector.
55:09Next verse. I shall surely I say to you,
55:11whatever you bind on earth,
55:14in other words, after that day, if you
55:16curse him, he's cursed.
55:18If you bless him, he's blessed.
55:21Whatever you bind on earth, this is the
55:23context from which it came.
55:27It had nothing to do with demons. It had
55:30everything TO DO WITH HUMAN beings that
55:31have gone off the radar.
55:35Let the authority of the church be
55:37summoned against that human being.
55:39I saw the wicked taking roots, Job said,
55:42and I cast his habitation.
55:47Wow.
55:50What offense at all that even your
55:52pastor has come and still you say you
55:53will not forgive?
55:56What at all?
55:57One small problem your wife had with
55:59you, even the whole council of the
56:01church has come and still you will not
56:02listen.
56:03My brother, it's too much. You are
56:05hitting and a tax collector.
56:12A tax collector is somebody who eats
56:14from the proceeds of others.
56:17In spiritual context, a tax collector is
56:20somebody
56:21who inherits the curses of other people.
56:30He is a tax collector.
56:32Regarded as such. Whatever falls on
56:34others, twice will be doubled and it
56:36will be given to you.
56:38Leave him alone.
56:42Are my 10 commandments okay?
56:45This is
56:47This is number six.
56:48Please, this one, who said it?
56:51Matthew chapter 18, who said it?
56:53Are we wiser than Jesus?
56:55Are we greater than Jesus?
56:57But pastor, what if the person is your
56:59very good friend?
57:01Are you wiser than Jesus?
57:03What if the person is your brother?
57:05JESUS IS THE ONE SAYING IT, YOU KNOW.
57:07ARE YOU WISER THAN YOUR BROTHER?
57:13It's as if I've given you a lot of New
57:15Testament. Should I also give some Old
57:16Testament verse?
57:25Proverbs chapter six.
57:28Oh.
57:34Oh, let me You let me finish with it.
57:37I wanted to give 10 New Testament, maybe
57:38five, but it's as if people are not
57:40tolerating me, so
57:45Please, everything I've said is in the
57:47Bible.
57:52Okay, pastor, what if the church is in
57:54error and the church is creating
57:55problems?
57:58What does the Bible say? The Bible says,
58:00leave the church.
58:02It didn't say touch the church.
58:05It didn't say criticize the church. It
58:07didn't say wish evil for the church. You
58:08If If there's anything we should
58:10wish that the church will repent.
58:15That's the Bible.
58:18Oh, man of God, I'm in a church that my
58:20pastor has six wives. What should I do?
58:23Quietly leave the church.
58:27But don't go and write on
58:29your status the sins of a man with six
58:32wives.
58:35Then you write like Paul, I know a man.
58:38Whether in the spirit or in the body, I
58:40cannot tell.
58:49You know, there's a scripture that says
58:51he's able to make him stand.
58:53That's one of the One of the things that
58:55make people enter into cases is when
58:57they are dealing with a man he has
58:59repented.
59:02The greatest problem of Absalom is that
59:05he didn't know the repentance of David.
59:10That's the problem.
59:13That's why the Bible says, know no man
59:14after the flesh.
59:16Yesterday,
59:18what happened between David and
59:20Bathsheba? It was not something that was
59:22like hiding in the palace.
59:24The whole country knew about it?
59:27That is why
59:29Absalom could convince all the elders of
59:31Israel. The Bible says that he actually
59:35took all the elders of Israel for My
59:37POINT IS HOW DID THEY In one of my books
59:39I said in Ahithophel, the book on
59:41Ahithophel, I said how did they become
59:42elder? They didn't become elders by age.
59:44They became elders by ways and deeds.
59:46They were Ahithophel was one of the
59:48elders. Can you imagine the standard to
59:49become a an elder? And how was THIS
59:52ABSALOM, YESTERDAY BORN, BE ABLE TO
59:54CONVINCE It was because of the error of
59:56David.
1:00:00But in the presence of Nathan, how that
1:00:02David tore his clothes and lay prostrate
1:00:04on the ground and wept for forgiveness,
1:00:06they did not see it.
1:00:12And they don't know
1:00:13that their own rebellion
1:00:15was the evidence of God's punishment on
1:00:18him.
1:00:19But they did not also know
1:00:22that that their own rebellion was also a
1:00:25judgment in waiting.
1:00:32Because he said I would like to fall in
1:00:33the hands of God. God said, "Okay, I'm
1:00:35coming."
1:00:38And just started killing.
1:00:40It was just one sign.
1:00:43Then the prophet said, "Hey, this thing
1:00:44that you have done, the sword will not
1:00:46depart from your house."
1:00:48All the things that happened between
1:00:50Amnon and Tamar
1:00:53with the
1:00:54perfidious perfidy
1:00:58in the character of Jonadab
1:01:00were all the unraveling
1:01:05of the judgment of God on the house OF
1:01:06DAVID.
1:01:08TO ONE, HE WAS BEING JUDGED to restored
1:01:10onto righteousness. To another, they
1:01:12were being judged onto destruction.
1:01:15This Christ shall be for the rising
1:01:18and falling of men.
1:01:23Oh.
1:01:26>> This our God.
1:01:28I said I'm okay.
1:01:31Let me give one or two one or two of New
1:01:33Testament or Old Testament.
1:01:39The greatest problem
1:01:43is that people are not spiritual.
1:01:45I ask God, how can a man be deep and
1:01:48shallow at the same time? The Lord told
1:01:50me, they do not read the Bible.
1:01:52It is the Bible that affects a man's
1:01:54character. A man of God can prophesy
1:01:56mysteries. If he does not have
1:01:58fellowship with the spirit,
1:02:00he will fall into the error of dry men.
1:02:03How can a pastor be so full of jealousy?
1:02:06Me, when I get close to you as a pastor
1:02:08and I do not discern a strong fellowship
1:02:10with the word, I relate with you from a
1:02:12distance.
1:02:13I am only some few meters away from you
1:02:16striking me.
1:02:17Serpents do not strike out of delight.
1:02:19They strike out of nature.
1:02:21People will hate you because it is in
1:02:22their nature. They cannot do otherwise.
1:02:26Yeah, you cannot do otherwise.
1:02:31It's a mystery. So, be warned. Be
1:02:33careful.
1:02:34How that you are close to somebody, but
1:02:36the person doesn't read his Bible.
1:02:38You don't know what you are doing.
1:02:42Because you see, the Bible affects your
1:02:44internal self.
1:02:45It affects your desires. It affects your
1:02:47nature. It affects even the way you see
1:02:49things. Things that you can you can't
1:02:51ignore. It's because you are not so so
1:02:53much saturated with the word.
1:02:56Some people say, "No, I will not forgive
1:02:57the person." The problem is not with the
1:02:58person that has offended. The problem is
1:03:00with you. You have not been converted
1:03:02by the word.
1:03:05A difficulty to repent
1:03:08is a lack of devotion to the word.
1:03:13You have known the word of God from from
1:03:15childhood. It said it is able to make
1:03:17you wise and give you an inheritance
1:03:19among the saints.
1:03:21The word of God, one of the things that
1:03:22the Bible mentioned as characteristics
1:03:24of the word of God is that it converts
1:03:26the souls.
1:03:31It converts the soul. Yes, Psalm 19.
1:03:34It converts the soul.
1:03:39If you are struggling with lust, you
1:03:41need a Bible. It will stop.
1:03:43What do you I will not tell you to stop
1:03:45the lust. Just be consistent with the
1:03:47Bible. It will stop.
1:03:49Tell yourself that every day I will read
1:03:51two, three, four, five, 10 chapters.
1:03:53Just be reading. Don't try to
1:03:54understand. Just read. You see, people
1:03:56think that the Bible is I I promise when
1:03:59I read I forget. You don't have The
1:04:00Bible has in it the power to make you
1:04:03remember him.
1:04:05So, just read it. Would I just read it?
1:04:07After some time, when the veil is torn
1:04:09off, you begin to remember.
1:04:12DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND. The Bible
1:04:13itself
1:04:15teaching.
1:04:16It's a two-edged sword. It is able to
1:04:19teach. It is able to help you to
1:04:21understand itself. We explain the Bible
1:04:23with the Bible.
1:04:24So, just read it.
1:04:26Just fellowship with it. Just You see,
1:04:28there are certain things you can't
1:04:30forget them. You can't be healed.
1:04:33It is the word of God that converts the
1:04:34soul. You'll be formatted by the word.
1:04:40Be careful with a pastor who doesn't
1:04:41read his Bible and he's your friend.
1:04:44No matter how kind he is with you.
1:04:50You cannot take the laughter of a
1:04:51serpent as an admiration.
1:04:57It is a strategic assessment of which
1:05:00part
1:05:01to bite.
1:05:07You cannot mistake it.
1:05:10SECOND TIMOTHY
1:05:12>> Second Timothy.
1:05:18Oh, tell I I first Timothy I have missed
1:05:20you guys. My God.
1:05:23First Timothy 6.
1:05:29Please, I said keep this preaching.
1:05:31Don't don't
1:05:33I'm I'm not I'm not That's what I said.
1:05:34If what I'm saying is not in the Bible.
1:05:37So, one of the sign that God is with the
1:05:39man you are judging is when you see him
1:05:41increasing.
1:05:44By the hand of God.
1:05:57I said first Timothy 6 here.
1:05:59Maybe verse 3.
1:06:03No, because we we usually when it says
1:06:05if and you don't start a sentence with
1:06:07if.
1:06:11Usually things have gone on.
1:06:14So, let's read from the verse one.
1:06:18Let as many bond servants as are under
1:06:21the yoke count their own masters worthy
1:06:24of all honor.
1:06:27Now.
1:06:29Okay, I will read up to the verse 6 then
1:06:31we go to
1:06:32how many different translations 1 2 3
1:06:35or 4 or 5.
1:06:37Okay.
1:06:39Look for the passion.
1:06:41And NIV message. Sorry, no NIV because
1:06:44the NIV is is close to the one
1:06:47Yes, yes. As many bond servants under
1:06:48the yoke count their own masters worthy
1:06:50of all honor so that the name of
1:06:51So, we say why do In my book on how we
1:06:53got our Bible, I have spoken about
1:06:55history of Bible translations.
1:06:58Why are there so many Bible
1:07:00translations? And which of the the
1:07:02methodology
1:07:04in translating the Bible? Which of the
1:07:06Bible translations
1:07:08are the most suitable? are they are very
1:07:09good.
1:07:11They're very good.
1:07:15When you get rich,
1:07:16you will notice that what a dessert does
1:07:19is different from what a main course
1:07:21does.
1:07:23It is when people are not rich that they
1:07:25don't know the difference between first
1:07:26course, second course, and third course.

1:10:31UM
1:10:35LET US MANY bond servants as are under
1:10:38the yoke count their own masters worthy
1:10:41of all honor.
1:10:42So that the name of God and his doctrine
1:10:46may not be blasphemed.
1:10:49So that what?
1:10:54As they start attacking the churches,
1:10:55it's actually God that is being
1:10:56affected. His name.
1:10:58Ah, what is all with these churches that
1:11:00have come Oh, whatever whatever whatever
1:11:02whatever.
1:11:08You have done ah
1:11:10Now, everybody is insulting the church
1:11:11online. What did you get?
1:11:14You're only raising an army
1:11:17against the sacred.
1:11:20It's an ungodly army
1:11:22that will be judged.
1:11:27Saviors shall come from Mount Zion.
1:11:32They will come and judge the mountains
1:11:33of Esau.
1:11:39And those who have
1:11:41believing masters
1:11:43What shocks me that He said, "You have a
1:11:46master who's not born again."
1:11:48He said, "Honor him."
1:11:51Then he says, "Those who have masters
1:11:53that are believers,
1:11:55let them not despise them
1:11:58because they are brethren.
1:12:01But rather serve them."
1:12:05When they serve us, they say we are
1:12:06being worshipped.
1:12:09Yeah, there's no saint in front of my
1:12:10name.
1:12:11Marko Saint Winifred
1:12:20Holy Ancient
1:12:23Receive our prayers, oh we sinners.
1:12:29He said, "Let them serve them because
1:12:30THOSE WHO ARE BENEFITED ARE believers
1:12:32and beloved."
1:12:34Then he says,
1:12:36"Teach and exhort these things." The
1:12:37next VERSE SAYS, "IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T
1:12:39TEACH THESE THINGS AND DOESN'T EXHORT
1:12:40THESE THINGS THAT RESPECT MASTERS OF THE
1:12:43FLESH, PASTORS, AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE
1:12:45AUTHORITY OVER YOU."
1:12:46OKAY, WHO ARE THESE MASTERS? Let's
1:12:48conclude on that before we move on.
1:12:50A master is somebody who has authority
1:12:52over you. This includes your own
1:12:53husband.
1:12:57He said HE'S A BELIEVER.
1:13:00THIS INCLUDES YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.
1:13:01HE'S A BELIEVER.
1:13:03THIS INCLUDES YOUR PASTOR, INCLUDES YOUR
1:13:04CHOIR LEADER, LEADERS. THEY ARE MASTERS.
1:13:07OKAY, IF THIS is not the case, who are
1:13:09these masters the Bible IS TALKING
1:13:10ABOUT? OH, YOU THEOLOGIAN.
1:13:22Let us say that
1:13:24your husband doesn't give you money.
1:13:26But your husband is a Christian.
1:13:29The Bible is saying that don't worry,
1:13:30still serve him. Why? Because it is a
1:13:33Christian who is benefiting.
1:13:36That's what this verse is.
1:13:44Then he says,
1:13:46"If anyone teaches otherwise,
1:13:52now who is he? He says a pastor is so
1:13:53what, whatever, whatever.
1:13:55And does not consent to these WHOLESOME
1:13:59WORDS,
1:14:01EVEN THE WORDS of our Lord Jesus Christ
1:14:03and to the doctrine which accords with
1:14:06godliness,
1:14:07answer before I finish speaking here. We
1:14:08will change it, don't worry. Let me
1:14:09finish.
1:14:10He said, "That person is proud,
1:14:14that person knows nothing.
1:14:16HE IS OBSESSED WITH ARGUMENTS and
1:14:19disputes over words,
1:14:21from which come envy,
1:14:24I wish the church is dead,
1:14:26STRIFE,
1:14:28REVILING,
1:14:30EVIL SUSPICION.
1:14:36Has he died? What is going on? Have they
1:14:38done something bad? Do Do we celebrate?
1:14:40Has the guest happened?
1:14:44Useless wranglings of men,
1:14:47WHO THE BIBLE SAYS ARE OF corrupt minds.
1:14:49Number two, they are destitute of the
1:14:52truth. In other words, no grab bo wo wo.
1:14:56He said they supposed that godliness is
1:14:58a means of gain. He said from such
1:15:00people do what?
1:15:04Do WhatsApp voice call with them?
1:15:08Do conference call with them?
1:15:11Reply their text?
1:15:14Engage them in dinner?
1:15:16Breakfast, lunch, and supper?
1:15:18What did he say?
1:15:21Withdraw.
1:15:24This is the counsel of the word of God.
1:15:26I did not give you one or two.
1:15:29I've given you
1:15:32seven.
1:15:40Now,
1:15:41notice that I did not give you examples.
1:15:44That would have made my points too much.
1:15:49Examples of how Peter treated Simon.
1:15:53How Paul treated the cup passment.
1:15:55How David treated Absalom and said, "I
1:15:57will never see his face."
1:16:00We did not come into examples.
1:16:02How that
1:16:04Moses, who according to the Bible was
1:16:06the meekest man, loved the flock than
1:16:08anybody, still brought judgment on Korah
1:16:11and thousands of people died in one day.
1:16:14No example of such nature. We're only
1:16:16giving instructions and commandments
1:16:17that have been given to us by the word
1:16:19of God.
1:16:23I think from here, you can pick the
1:16:26judgment yourself.
1:16:28Another time we'll talk about how to
1:16:30relate with them.
1:16:3115 practical guide to relate with people
1:16:33who leave the church.
1:16:35Number one, those who do not associate
1:16:38with the pastor. You are not allowed to
1:16:39associate with them.
1:16:42If they vow never to speak to the
1:16:44pastor, it is wrong for you to speak to
1:16:45them.
1:16:47Please, I am saying this on the
1:16:49background of this
1:16:51Let me add Proverbs 6:6, Proverbs 21.
1:16:53Let me add a lot of them because as a
1:16:55person I'm I'm my man my man I did not
1:16:58get satisfied.
1:17:04Proverbs 20
1:17:056:16
1:17:07Proverbs 22:10
1:17:29Then lastly, second Let let let let's
1:17:32let's not take this one out. I took it
1:17:34out but let me add the second
1:17:35Thessalonians chapter 3:14.
1:17:38Second Thessalonians
1:17:40They're all in the book.
1:17:45He said, "If anyone does not obey our
1:17:47word in this episode
1:17:50know that person and do not keep company
1:17:51with him that he may be ashamed."
1:17:55You say, "No no no no, let me be close
1:17:56to him so that he'll be honored."
1:17:59Not only that
1:18:00he says, "Yet do not count him as an
1:18:03enemy but admonish him as a brother."
1:18:07Next verse.
1:18:09Now, may the God of peace himself give
1:18:11you peace always in every way.
1:18:13The Lord be with you.
1:18:16He said, "Do not do what?"
1:18:18Keep company
1:18:21with that man.
1:18:24If anyone does not know him and do not
1:18:26keep company with him.
1:18:29Why? So that he'll be ashamed.
1:18:35>> You know, then who you pass over.
1:18:39Who's not sharing who you pass over.
1:18:43I'm speaking now.
1:18:45I'll translate it into French very soon.
1:18:48Proverbs Proverbs Proverbs
1:18:53These six things the Lord hates.
1:18:56Yes, seven are abomination to him.
1:19:00Do you want to know the abomination of
1:19:01the Lord?
1:19:03Number one, proud look. Two, lying
1:19:05tongue. Three, hands that shed innocent
1:19:06blood. Four, a heart that devises wicked
1:19:09plans.
1:19:11Sits down and say, "I will remove this
1:19:13one."
1:19:15Six feet that are swift
1:19:19in running to evil.
1:19:21Seven, the abomination. He says, "A
1:19:23false witness who speaks lies
1:19:25and one who sows discord
1:19:29among brethren."
1:19:31He has created confusion in the church.
1:19:35I've sown discord among brethren in the
1:19:38church.
1:19:41He says, "He is an abomination."
1:19:44He himself.
1:19:52The day I landed in America, somebody
1:19:53gave me this phone brand new in a box.
1:19:58He said, "I have put a SIM on it for
1:19:59you."
1:20:01Is this your phone?
1:20:04No, this is not my 17. It's also there.
1:20:07Now, I have six phones.
1:20:14May your prayers COME TO PASS.
1:20:17AND BY THE WAY, IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW,
1:20:19this phone I put it on twice in a day.
1:20:21In the morning, the evening. All my bank
1:20:23transactions are on this one. After I
1:20:25put it off, I put it in a box.

1:21:25Shola catataba.
1:21:28YOU WILL HAVE A SPECIAL CAR THAT GOES
1:21:30ONLY TO THE MARKET.
1:21:34UH,
1:21:37NOW I WANT TO ASK I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE
1:21:39THINKING. How can one person have Don't
1:21:41you HAVE 10 SHOES?
1:21:43YOU HAVE 10 FEET THAT YOU ARE WEARING 10
1:21:45shoes. In other words, YOU HAVE SHOES
1:21:46THAT
1:21:47YOUR FEET HAVE NOT EVEN OH, MY GOD.
1:21:54This shoe that I'm wearing
1:21:57I had it for almost 6 months and I
1:21:58didn't know.
1:22:02In a box, I didn't know.
1:22:09THEY SAID ME
1:22:11THAT I WAS WEARING ONE BROTHER SHOE.
1:22:14THAT EVERYBODY IN THE CHURCH, WHEN I SAY
1:22:16THE SHOE, THEY KNOW it because they saw
1:22:18it.
1:22:31>> I've given laptops.
1:22:33I've given tablets.
1:22:36Even this year I've given two two two
1:22:38two two tablets.
1:22:55My wife's birthday.
1:22:57You know, we see we have we have to
1:22:59practice godliness.
1:23:01Every birthday of your wife I buy gifts
1:23:02for her. Lucy, listen.
1:23:05Listen.
1:23:06Please, the message is not changing. I'm
1:23:07just showing you some secrets.
1:23:11You see, be make people happy.
1:23:17I've given three different laptops to my
1:23:19wife.
1:23:22She told me that she doesn't like any of
1:23:24them. She uses them.
1:23:27Some of them she has dashed them out.
1:23:29She dashed this one and then the current
1:23:31one she's using, it's a nice one.
1:23:33She said she doesn't like it.
1:23:35Okay.
1:23:38Give it to this person.
1:23:44And I said that what do you say what?
1:23:46The laptop I used is called HP Spectre.
1:23:52When I checked the brand new it was
1:23:53thousand
1:23:55something dollars.
1:24:00So I went to the shop. I said
1:24:03I'll get a birthday gift.
1:24:07Then when I got there they said
1:24:08HP Spectre we stopped
1:24:12stocking them.
1:24:13It's old laptop.
1:24:16HP shop will only sell 2020s. If if you
1:24:19go to an Apple shop you'll will not find
1:24:21an iPhone 16.
1:24:23Yes.
1:24:25Because it's old you they will tell you
1:24:27go to retailers, but if you go to Apple
1:24:28shop, it's only 17 they have there.
1:24:35So
1:24:45I bought
1:24:47They they told me
1:24:49this one is this, this one is this. The
1:24:50one they brought
1:24:52they call it HP OmniBook.
1:24:56The price on it $1,899.
1:25:00Which like $1,900.
1:25:03I said I want this one.
1:25:06So I bought it.
1:25:08I said the one I gave to her she was
1:25:09crying.
1:25:13And I said that
1:25:16very soon if this can make you cry
1:25:22dig a well of
1:25:23your tears are coming to become a
1:25:24swimming pool.
1:25:26YOU WILL START SWIMMING IN YOUR TEARS
1:25:28BECAUSE
1:25:29THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING THERE
1:25:31IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS
1:25:34I PROPHESY OVER YOUR LIFE.
1:25:36WHATEVER THAT BRINGS JOY TO OTHERS
1:25:39YOU SHALL MAKE YOUR JOY OVERFLOW.
1:25:42WHATEVER BRINGS HAPPINESS TO OTHERS,
1:25:45YOU SHALL MAKE YOUR JOY OVERFLOW.
1:25:51YESTERDAY EVERYBODY WHO CAME TO MEET ME
1:25:52AT THE AIRPORT
1:25:54I WAS DASHING EACH OF THEM DOLLARS.
1:26:00AND I SAID
1:26:01I SAID
1:26:03I AM A FELLOW OF THE struggling
1:26:04centuries.
1:26:06I know the difference between a gift and
1:26:08money.
1:26:09I know the money will be more useful to
1:26:11you than buying you a t-shirt.
1:26:17Uh
1:26:24>> What do you mean by pastor? Why didn't
1:26:25they tell me? It's not my fault.
1:26:28It's not my fault.
1:26:30You are not supposed to know.
1:26:37Oh, is it next time? They will not even
1:26:38know the next time. They will not know
1:26:39when they know the day I'm going and the
1:26:40day I'm coming.
1:26:41And pastor was saying, "WHY ARE YOU NOT
1:26:42POSTING?" I SAID, "I DON'T POST. BUT I
1:26:44POST, they won't know I'm not around."
1:26:47After some time, everybody got to know.
1:26:52A false witness who speaks evil lies.
1:26:54Chapter 22.
1:26:57Proverbs.
1:27:03When I say this, the boys are not happy.
1:27:07Not to give money to your wife is
1:27:08rebellion.
1:27:15Not to give sex to your husband is
1:27:17rebellion.
1:27:21But they don't understand.
1:27:2522:10.
1:27:29I'm teaching obedience to Christ.
1:27:31And walking in obedience.
1:27:34IT SAYS, "CAST OUT THE SCORNER."
1:27:39And when you do that, contentions,
1:27:41whether in your spirit or in the
1:27:42fellowship, will stop.
1:27:45It says, "Yes, strive and reproach. When
1:27:48you cast the person off, strive and
1:27:50reproach will cease."
1:27:54Strive, fights.
1:27:57Some people when they leave the church,
1:27:58it's good news.
1:28:00It is only a seizure.
1:28:02It is only a cease-fire.
1:28:05Imagine if America and Iran says
1:28:08cease-fire,
1:28:09oil prices will come down.
1:28:12Your war is disturbing the world.
1:28:16I'm not criticizing them the war. I
1:28:18think that
1:28:21prophecy is being fulfilled.
1:28:27And rumors of wars. Wars and rumors of
1:28:30wars.
1:28:32So, we can't do anything about it.
1:28:35It's good thing when scriptures are
1:28:36being fulfilled.
1:28:41Can't I tell you that?
1:28:45Somebody
1:28:47the
1:28:48the pastor I was staying with
1:28:50told me
1:28:52a man he was working for.
1:28:54The man has has houses in different
1:28:56parts of America because
1:28:58in America, the weather is not the same
1:29:00everywhere. Some is cold, some is less
1:29:02cold. So,
1:29:03when it gets into the winter, the cold
1:29:04season, he goes to this place.
1:29:08And said, "For 20 something years, he
1:29:09said he has never flown a commercial jet
1:29:11before."
1:29:13He took me to the man's house.
1:29:15From here to the top
1:29:16at the top here, that's the distance to
1:29:18the private airport.
1:29:21Only private jets land on that airport.
1:29:24Yes. I said, he took me there.
1:29:27Why you not say?
1:29:29He he he he pays people to warm his
1:29:32cars.
1:29:33So, because the cars, some of them, if
1:29:35you don't start the engines, you are
1:29:36destroying the car.
1:29:38And the cars is about $500,000.
1:29:40So, once in a while, he call you, give
1:29:41me $500
1:29:44for 2 hours to drive his car and bring
1:29:46it.
1:29:47Because he doesn't have time.
1:29:49And he pays you.
1:29:51Yes.
1:30:02Just drive here to
1:30:04and someone and come back.
1:30:06And then I'll pay you. So, you cruise
1:30:08WITH A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR.
1:30:12YOU ARE WOMAN.
1:30:17THE LORD WILL launch you into THAT
1:30:18REALM.
1:30:20VERY SOON YOU WILL BE SLEEPING IN MY
1:30:22ROOMS FOR ME because it become moldy.
1:30:24So, JUST GO AND STAY IN MY HOUSE IN
1:30:26TRASACCO FOR 1 MONTH.
1:30:28How much WILL YOU TAKE?
1:30:30WOMAN OF HOUSES, RECEIVE IT IN THE NAME
1:30:32OF JESUS.
1:30:36WHEN I CAME BACK THIS MORNING, I I
1:30:37STARTED sneezing in my office because
1:30:39for over 1 month they've not opened the
1:30:41office. So, oh.
1:30:46Is that
1:30:47Please.
1:30:51Enter my house
1:30:54and just be there for 1 month so that it
1:30:56will not grow moldy.
1:31:02Do you know that
1:31:04there are some shoes
1:31:06if you keep them in your wardrobe and
1:31:07you don't wear them, they start break to
1:31:08break.
1:31:10Yes.
1:31:14It has to be exposed to the elements.
1:31:20The Lord will bless you with abundance.
1:31:24If you believe it, shout it aloud AND
1:31:25SAY AMEN.
1:31:33I REALIZED THAT
1:31:36THERE IS NOTHING THAT GOD created He
1:31:38created only one.
1:31:44There was a book.
1:31:47The title is
1:31:52Bible
1:31:54secrets for business
1:31:56or business secrets from the Bible.
1:31:59In it, the author explained
1:32:02why it one of the places you should have
1:32:06more than one of a thing.
1:32:10Those who explain why you have to keep
1:32:11fellowship with one another.
1:32:17One of them he said,
1:32:19"Anything that God created in its raw
1:32:21state seems useless
1:32:24unless it comes into contact with other
1:32:27things." And he used the whole periodic
1:32:30table, if you understand chemistry.
1:32:32Every element on the periodic table is
1:32:34useless unless it becomes a compound.
1:32:42When they are combined to other things,
1:32:43that's when
1:32:44they become useful. All the elements.
1:32:50It When it mix with this, when it mix
1:32:51with this, when it mix with this. Even
1:32:53says stones are useless unless you add
1:32:55cement, sand, water, then it becomes
1:32:58concrete.
1:33:01But when you pick only cement, it's
1:33:02useless.
1:33:04It breaks easily.
1:33:06It's got tensile strength,
1:33:07compressive strength.
1:33:10But when you add stones to it,
1:33:12and you reinforce with steel,
1:33:14it can stand for 100 years and not
1:33:17break.
1:33:18Wow.
1:33:22The years of your singleness is over.
1:33:26Your true beauty is seen in
1:33:27companionship.
1:33:29This year, somebody will marry you.
1:33:36As soon as we have married people are
1:33:37shouting amen.
1:33:39And people who do not understand the
1:33:41mysteries
1:33:42are looking at me WITH BEWILDERMENT.
1:33:45RECEIVE GRACE IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
1:33:52YOU SEE, IF IT IS ONLY Ghana you know,
1:33:55you will not appreciate God that much.
1:33:58But when you interact with other NATIONS
1:34:01MADAM, WHEN YOU WENT TO CHINA, DIDN'T
1:34:02YOU SEE A DIFFERENT PART OF THE WORLD?
1:34:05WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR
1:34:07SURPRISES?
1:34:13>> AN AQUARIUM.
1:34:14>> YOU WENT TO AN AQUARIUM?
1:34:16>> YES, so I saw like a dolphin
1:34:18>> Which is you have never seen Ghana
1:34:20before?
1:34:20>> No.
1:34:21>> Can I tell you something surprising?
1:34:25I want to preach in the Church of
1:34:26Pentecost
1:34:28in DC.
1:34:32When we finished, the pastor was taking
1:34:34me around and around. Then there's a
1:34:36something like an adult like that. When
1:34:38I open, grass cutter is like this.
1:34:44And
1:34:44I told them that
1:34:47Do you people understand what's going on
1:34:49here?
1:34:52AND WHEN GOD BLESSES a nation, even the
1:34:54animals are blessed.
1:34:59I was driving
1:35:02with Abraham Nyako. I was driving his
1:35:04car.
1:35:06You saw a deer.
1:35:07And it was just by the roadside. He's
1:35:09He's just eating. Do you know deer? THE
1:35:11ONE WHOSE WHOSE POOPOO IS IS IS IS A
1:35:14SPECIAL COMBINATION IN SOUP.
1:35:19EVEN THE POOPOO IS NOT SPARED. HOW MUCH
1:35:21MORE EAT MEAT?
1:35:26I SAID WHAT I DIDN'T HAVE IN THERE.
1:35:39AND THEY ARE JUST THEY ARE JUST PLAYING
1:35:40AROUND.
1:35:43OH, dear Lord Jesus.
1:35:46I saw THE DEER. PLENTY OF THEM.
1:35:48THEY ARE JUST MOVING AROUND.
1:35:54AND I DIDN'T SHOUT, "Bro name."
1:35:58They put systems in place that even
1:35:59animals are loved there.
1:36:02Animals have peace. No, when even a car
1:36:04knocks them, I saw one of them was
1:36:05rotting by the roadside. You can't touch
1:36:07it. A car knock it, it's dead. They put
1:36:10it by the roadside there till it gets
1:36:11rotten.
1:36:13I'm serious. I saw it. I cannot lie to
1:36:15you. It was a Sunday morning. I was
1:36:16going to preach. I saw rotting. It's
1:36:19small part have become rotten.
1:36:22Uh, even the non-rotting part would have
1:36:24been severed
1:36:26from the rest of the body.
1:36:30You see raccoon moving around.
1:36:35Oh, it would have been life saved. It
1:36:37would have been life saved.
1:36:42I mean shout bro name.
1:36:44I mean shout bro name. Is it Is it Is it
1:36:48One day you realize that even the pet in
1:36:49your house they're happy.
1:36:51When you come under the influence and
1:36:53the governance of the spirit of God.
1:36:55Even the pet you have, the food they
1:36:56eat.
1:36:57Your dog pie, you give him meat, he say,
1:36:59"I'm tired, please. I'm tired. I want
1:37:01chips. I don't want chicken. I don't
1:37:04want chicken."
1:37:06You see that the the dog will be giving
1:37:08you eye.
1:37:09"I don't like."
1:37:13Oh my God.
1:37:15The Lord bless you with abundance.
1:37:18This night, there's one prayer I'm
1:37:19praying for you.
1:37:22And so my pastor, I THOUGHT YOU WERE
1:37:23TALKING ABOUT HOW TO RELATE. WE FINISHED
1:37:25THAT ONE LONG AGO.
1:37:26WE FINISHED IT LONG AGO. WE HAVE
1:37:28FINISHED THAT ONE LONG AGO. WE ARE NOW
1:37:30DOING SERMON NUMBER THREE.
1:37:36I'M praying for abundance for you.
1:37:41That God will bless you with abundance.
1:37:44You see?
1:37:45If you have only one shoe, realize that
1:37:47it's not pleasant.
1:37:51Very soon, you realize that having one
1:37:53car is a is a problem.
1:37:59Very soon, even your own house, you have
1:38:01different bedrooms.
1:38:04YOU KNOW, LAST NIGHT YOU WERE FIGHTING
1:38:06WITH YOUR WIFE BECAUSE THE AC WAS TOO
1:38:07COOL.
1:38:09IF THERE WAS another room, you say,
1:38:10"Baby, I would like to sleep today. I
1:38:12don't want the cold air."
1:38:21I was in a man of God's house.
1:38:24And it was very cold.
1:38:26And he has put on AC.
1:38:28And I said, "Man of God,
1:38:31it's very cold." He said,
1:38:33"I'm remov- I'm removing heat from my
1:38:35system."
1:38:45He said he said he he used to sleep and
1:38:47he would be sweating.
1:38:49He said, "I'm removing heat from my
1:38:51system."
1:38:52Man has suffered.
1:38:56May the Lord remove heat from your
1:38:57system.
1:39:06I rather I don't I don't have appetite.
1:39:08It's actually a language of people who
1:39:10don't have much.
1:39:12The reason why you don't have appetite
1:39:14is
1:39:15you cannot spend 300 CDS TO JUST to eat
1:39:18chips and things. That's why you say you
1:39:20don't have appetite.
1:39:23IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU EAT FUFU.
1:39:28SAY ALL.
1:39:32I PRAY FOR ABUNDANCE.
1:39:34IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
1:39:36NOW, stretch your hands towards this
1:39:37place.
1:39:39Pastor Y,
1:39:40this is impartation. I'm not praying for
1:39:42you. I'm not laying hands.
1:39:44Stretch your hands.
1:39:50There are things that answer to grace.
1:39:54There are things that have answered to
1:39:55me
1:39:56in my small life
1:39:59which God has blessed.
1:40:05May that thing answer to you, too.
1:40:09MAY THOSE THAT HAVE OPENED ONTO ME
1:40:12PLEASE, I AM blessing
1:40:16as the Lord has blessed me.
1:40:19Because the things we have, eh, we
1:40:21receive them spiritually
1:40:23and it manifest.
1:40:24And I'm making a spiritual deposit in
1:40:26your life
1:40:28that you, too, you will drive 4x4.
1:40:31YOU WILL SLEEP IN YOUR own house.
1:40:34YOU WILL TRAVEL THE WORLD to the glory
1:40:35of God.
1:40:37Listen, one of the most amazing things
1:40:40I've experienced in my life
1:40:42is the love from people.
1:40:45There is nowhere I go that people don't
1:40:47show me unusual love.
1:40:49All over. People I know, people I don't
1:40:51know.
1:40:54I was in a shop
1:40:56and I was wearing Jesus way, truth, and
1:40:57life.
1:40:59A Chinese woman walked to me
1:41:03and said,
1:41:05"I can see you believe in Jesus."
1:41:08I said, "Yes."
1:41:09She said, "I also believe in Jesus."
1:41:15Even people who don't know us, they
1:41:16smile to us.
1:41:18And they show kindness to us.
1:41:22It's not ordinary. It's a blessing.
1:41:25I'm serious. It's a blessing.
1:41:27I think one of the blessings I've
1:41:28enjoyed in my life is getting money from
1:41:30people I don't know.
1:41:32People I've never met.
1:41:34People I've never seen face-to-face.
1:41:39It has been happening in my life every
1:41:40point in time.
1:41:42That thing answers to you today.
1:41:46The reason if I have had enemies, I had
1:41:49the enemies because men loved me too
1:41:50much.
1:41:51And people were provoked to jealousy.
1:41:54I'm loved.
1:41:56Everywhere I go. In love ring, I'm
1:41:58greatly loved.
1:41:59And that's why rebels don't like it. Why
1:42:01do they love the pastor? Why wouldn't
1:42:02they love the pastor?
1:42:04What is wrong with loving the pastor?
1:42:08From today,
1:42:11you are also going to be loved.
1:42:15These feet of mine have entered places.
1:42:19I speak over your life. A year by now,
1:42:23two years by now,
1:42:24three years by now,
1:42:26longest four years by now,
1:42:29may your feet tread on those grounds.
1:42:36The Bible says that
1:42:39let Moses stand before the congregation
1:42:41and bless them.
1:42:42Today, with your hands stretched towards
1:42:44me, I bless you.
1:42:46With the blessings of the heavens above,
1:42:49may you have dominion.
1:42:52May you have fruits from your labor.
1:42:55When you eat, may you be satisfied.
1:42:58May you walk in abundance
1:43:00of riches, wealth, and honor.
1:43:03In your home, your wife will honor you.
1:43:06In your home,
1:43:07your husband will put a picture of you
1:43:09on the wall
1:43:11because he honors you greatly.
1:43:13He loves
1:43:15you you you YOU WILL BE LOVED THAT
1:43:17PEOPLE AROUND WILL BE PROVOKED TO
1:43:18JEALOUSY.
1:43:21Joseph was hated because of the love of
1:43:23his father.
1:43:24May the blessings of God upon you
1:43:27be SO CONSPICUOUS
1:43:30THAT MEN cannot
1:43:31deny it.
1:43:33May they see it and praise God.
1:43:37May the Lord bless you in the ministry.
1:43:41Listen, I say this to the glory of God.
1:43:44I don't know any human being that has
1:43:46fought with me and the person won. I
1:43:48don't know one.
1:43:51USUALLY IT'S JUST A MATTER of time.
1:43:53Usually.
1:43:55I I'm not joking.
1:43:57All my life
1:43:59I always laugh last and I laugh best.
1:44:02I speak over your life.
1:44:04Battles from wicked men
1:44:07as fruitfulness and increase.
1:44:11May you have advantage.
1:44:13May you have advantage.
1:44:15MAY YOUR ASSETS BE POUNDS,
1:44:18DOLLARS, AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES.
1:44:21May you break through.
1:44:23ANY RESISTING FORCE, ANY DOOR THAT IS
1:44:27difficult to break through,
1:44:30let them open by themselves.
1:44:32Like in the prison,
1:44:34THE DOORS OPEN BY THEMSELVES TO THE
1:44:36APOSTLES. LET DOORS OPEN BY THEMSELVES
1:44:39UNTO YOU.
1:44:40May you gain advantage.
1:44:42May you gain advantage
1:44:45over battles of life,
1:44:47over circumstances and situations of
1:44:49life.
1:44:50MAY YOU HAVE ADVANTAGE.
1:44:54LET NOT YOUR ENEMIES WIN.
1:44:56DAVID SAID, "MY ENEMIES REJOICE NOT OVER
1:44:59ME." LET NOT YOUR ENEMIES REJOICE OVER
1:45:01YOU.
1:45:18May the doors of your mansion be open
1:45:20unto you.
1:45:23May the doors of marriage it unto you.
