Aha. 32 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,880 Before you leave, Hallelujah, you're about to listen to the 33 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,520 word of God. So I want you to bring out your 34 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,480 pen, bring out your note parts, everything that you need to 35 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,320 receive from the Lord whenever you are coming to the presence 36 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,680 of God, you make sure that you have everything you need. 37 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,800 Now want to give us the word of God is no other person that our 38 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,360 own international Barbara Grouponi. 39 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,120 Let's welcome here with a club offering. 40 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:42,080 Praise the Lord, Hallelujah, Amen. 41 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,000 May the peace and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be on to ask 42 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,160 all. Amen. 43 00:06:51,960 --> 00:07:01,480 GPCC because she didn't come for the GPCC week. 44 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,960 I mean the evening services. You do not know our slogan, You 45 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,840 do not know our slogan. So when I said GPCC, I'm 46 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,560 wondering what it is. I'm sure some of you do not even 47 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,320 know what GPCC stands for. But by the grace of God, God 48 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,240 will help us and today we will know what it means, what they 49 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,480 stand for and what they seek to achieve. 50 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:32,960 So that's slogan for GPCC. When we say GPCCGPCC is Ghana 51 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,560 Pentecostal Charismatic Council, Ghana Pentecostal Charismatic 52 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,760 Council. So we are looking at all the 53 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,120 Pentecostal churches, we are looking at all the charismatic 54 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:51,200 churches coming together as one body in Christ to do the mandate 55 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,040 of our Father in heaven. So we have a slogan and the 56 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:02,880 slogan is when I say GPCC, you respond unity and spirit. 57 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:15,360 GPCC, GPCC by the special grace of God, the chairman or the 58 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,640 President for the GPCC is Dear Apostle, the Chairman of the 59 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,960 Church of Pentecost and the person of Apostle Eric Namiche. 60 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,520 By the special grace of God, he is the Chairman of the Ghana 61 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,360 Pentecostal Charismatic Council and they have a mandate. 62 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,480 They have a mandate. Their aim is to work towards the 63 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,960 unity of the Church both spiritually and physically. 64 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,360 Their aim is to work towards the unity of the Church both 65 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,640 spiritually and physically. So whether you attend CSE, 66 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,680 whether you attend Assemblies of God, whether you attend the 67 00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:56,760 Church of Pentecost, we are all one in Christ. 68 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,960 Hallelujah. So I wanted the choir to help me 69 00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:03,600 sing this song. The church is marching on. 70 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,410 The church is marching on. My. 71 00:09:13,090 --> 00:09:22,370 Church for my own glory. I will build my church for my 72 00:09:23,610 --> 00:09:30,120 own glory, and the gates of hell shine. 73 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:37,720 No prevail, I say. I will build my church. 74 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:45,040 I will build my church. I will build my church for my 75 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:52,600 old glory. I will build my church for my 76 00:09:52,680 --> 00:10:22,840 old blue and the gate of hell. The. 77 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:57,320 The. Hallelujah, so you are the 78 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,880 church, I am the church and by the grace of God we are marching 79 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,320 on. Amen. 80 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,640 So the whole week, as Kingsley mentioned, the whole week was 81 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,960 for GPCC for our zone. We met at the Assemblies of God 82 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,840 for during the evening services. So I am not coming to say 83 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,160 anything new. I'm just coming to summarize all 84 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,640 the things we learnt during the evening services that you 85 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,280 couldn't attend. So I'm coming to tell you what 86 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,320 we learned today. I'll add a little. 87 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:31,120 Then we I, I bring the sermon to an end. 88 00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:36,440 By the special grace of God, the theme for this year's GPCC week 89 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,280 is Shining as stars in the world. 90 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,800 Shining as stars. I didn't hear your Amen. 91 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,200 Only one person said Amen. Shining as stars in the world. 92 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,880 So turn to your neighbor and say that you are a star and you must 93 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,840 shine. You are a star and you must 94 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,840 shine. Our uncle Scripture that we are 95 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,240 running with the whole week or we run with the whole week was 96 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,280 taken from Philippians Chapter 2, verse 15. 97 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,960 Philippians chapter 2, verse 15. That is our anchor scripture for 98 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,520 the GPCC week. We will come back to this, but I 99 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,160 want to give you a background to Philippians chapter 2. 100 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,000 This, the book of Philippians was written by Apostle Paul and 101 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000 he wrote this when he was in prison. 102 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,520 He has established a church in Philippi and then it came to his 103 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,000 knowledge that there was some discourse and disfuse in the 104 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,560 church. So it became necessary that he 105 00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:44,040 writes a letter to the church to encourage them and to give a 106 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,840 word of advice to them as to how they will live in His absence. 107 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,040 Hallelujah. Please project John chapter 8, 108 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,960 verse 12 for me. John chapter 8, verse 12. 109 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,160 John chapter 8, verse 12. Right when Jesus spoke again to 110 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,560 the people, he said I am the light of the world. 111 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,720 Whoever follows me will never work in darkness, but to have 112 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,080 the light of life. Hallelujah. 113 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,440 So as you are sitting there, some versions say light, other 114 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,120 versions also using star. So as you are sitting there, I 115 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,840 want you to have the understanding that you are the 116 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:27,640 light of the world because you have believed Savior Jesus, who 117 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,600 is the light. Jesus is the light, and because 118 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,680 you have believed in Jesus, by extension, you are the light of 119 00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,120 the world. So wherever you find yourself, 120 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,800 knowing that you are not there as an ordinary person, you are 121 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:47,040 the light and therefore you must shine like a star. 122 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:53,240 Hallelujah. Now, one of the questions that 123 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,480 came up during the service, the evening service was what does it 124 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,600 mean for a person to shine? When we say someone is shining, 125 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,600 what does it mean? What does it mean for a person 126 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,000 to shine? And the response that came was 127 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,200 figuratively, people shine when they stand out for doing 128 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,600 something extremely well. So in our journey of life, when 129 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,680 you stand out for doing something extremely well, we 130 00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:21,720 deem you to be as a person who is shining. 131 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,640 So when I ask a question now and then, I mention, I ask you that 132 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,160 in your layman knowledge, when we are, when we are talking 133 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,080 about those who run, who will you say is the fastest runner? 134 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,840 Over the years? I want one person to give me an 135 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,920 answer. Over the years, the whole world. 136 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,560 When we say fastest runner, who will you mention? 137 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,560 Hussein boat. It is very simple. 138 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,920 This one you don't need. If you are a person who follow 139 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,560 international news, you don't need anybody to tell you that it 140 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,200 is the same boat. Hallelujah. 141 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,600 I am sure if I ask the guys to hear who is the best footballer, 142 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,880 they will be able to mention their name. 143 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Me I some people will say Messi, some people will say what 144 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,320 Ronaldo, depending on their their team you support, 145 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,440 depending on their team you support, you'll be able. 146 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,320 But at least they are quite. Let's say you can mention about 147 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,120 5 people that worldwide we know that these people have 148 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,440 distinguished themselves, they are shining, they have stood out 149 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,640 for something or they are doing something extremely well. 150 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,080 So they are known worldwide as people who shine. 151 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,560 Hallelujah. In same grace, when we are 152 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,360 mentioning some ministers who sing or preach worldwide, you'll 153 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560 be able to mention some people because these people have stood 154 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,640 out.

This reminds me of the story in 265 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,920 Daniel chapter 3. Please project Daniel chapter 3 266 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,320 verse 16 for me. It is a popular story we all 267 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,960 know and it is about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who were 268 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:37,560 stars in their generation. These three persons found 269 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,520 themselves in Babylon. We all know the story and then 270 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,400 it came to a point that King Nebuchadnezzar has built an 271 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,800 image and then he wanted them to bow to the image. 272 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:57,680 Now their response in that not 316 touches me so well. 273 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,000 When you go home, you can read the whole of that, not Chapter 274 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000 3, but my emphasis is on the 316. 275 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,560 Now let me read the response they gave to the king after 276 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,720 everybody has bowed and they distinguished themselves. 277 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,640 Shadrack, Meshad, and Abednego replied to him, which is King 278 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,760 Nebuchadnezzar. We do not need to defend 279 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,520 ourselves before you in this matter. 280 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,440 Please continue. If we are thrown into the 281 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,800 blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from 282 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,080 it, and He would deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. 283 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,240 Please continue. I like the verse 18 so much. 284 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,520 The verse 18, there I was. I spent time here a little and I 285 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,920 was actually thinking about it. The verse 18 says, but even if 286 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,480 he does not, that is why the class is so. 287 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,360 The preceding one says, Oh yes, our God, they will know He will 288 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:52,960 deliver us. But the verse 18 is saying that, 289 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:59,000 but even if He does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that 290 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,040 we will not save your gods or worship the image of gold you 291 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,560 have set up. That is where my emphasis is. 292 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,360 Today's Christianity has become Uber. 293 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,160 Everything will go well. Of course, when you come to 294 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,200 Christ, everything is fine, everything is going well with 295 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,280 you. But when you get to the stage 296 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,760 that you have fasted, you have prayed, you have done 297 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,400 everything, and the assets are not coming, will you decide to 298 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,080 bend The Cave? That is the question. 299 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,280 When you were a lady and you want to marry, you have waited, 300 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,680 you have prayed, you have done everything. 301 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,480 The marriage is not coming. Maybe according to the calendar 302 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,800 of God, it is not yet your time. Will you decide that? 303 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,120 Oh air, bend to me, Let me bend the curve, let me fornicate, let 304 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,720 me masturbate. Hallelujah. 305 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,080 Even if when you marry and then childbirth is not coming, what 306 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,800 will you do? Even if you have done everything 307 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,600 and then your prayers are not being answered, what will you 308 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,520 still continue to hold on to your true Christianity and 309 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,160 continue to shine like a star? It is a question for us to 310 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,840 ponder over. When you have finished school 311 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,200 and you are looking for a job and you have prayed and prayed 312 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,520 and the job is not coming and then you went to 1 institution 313 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,080 with the person. Oh come on, let me sleep with 314 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,080 you and give you a job. Even if God does not do it, we 315 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,920 know He would do it regardless. Even if He does not do it, will 316 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,080 you say you sleep with the boss for the job? 317 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:37,400 It's a question for us to point that when you go to work and you 318 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,720 are a man and you're the secretary at work is looking 319 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,960 very seductive and your wife is not there, what will you do? 320 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,040 Even if that is a clause, Hallelujah. 321 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,720 Oh, why are you quiet? Hallelujah. 322 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,520 Does it mean you're pondering about what I'm saying? 323 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,720 We so Soviet version and Abednego were were stars. 324 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,240 They were light because the whole of Babylon, everybody is 325 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,320 afraid of the king. Everybody is bending The Cave. 326 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,080 Everybody is lowering the standards of Christianity 327 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,560 because if they do, if they do not do it, the king has made a 328 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,120 decree that you will die. And this is the situation they 329 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:21,680 find themselves in. And that's who they know that 330 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,120 they are children of light. So what would they do? 331 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,440 So they told the King, As for, As for you, this man, we know 332 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,720 our God will save us. But even if he does not send us 333 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,720 into the fire, we will go through Hallelujah. 334 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,880 And they actually you, you know the story, they were actually 335 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,520 put in the finance. And then you see, when I was 336 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:51,360 reading it, I, I got stuck at a point because Bible says that 337 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:52,400 when you go, you can read everything. 338 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,000 Bible says that even those who put them inside a furnace crowd 339 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,600 or the soldiers smooth, they died. 340 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,080 So you can see how hot the furnace was. 341 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,040 So they're not, they were going, we're going to put them. 342 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,200 The soldiers are dying. But they still decided that no, 343 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,400 because we are stars, we will not lower our standards. 344 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,360 We will still go through the process even if our God will not 345 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:21,760 give us Hallelujah, such level of faith in God, true 346 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,320 Christianity. And then by getting to the end, 347 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,400 Bible Messes understands that when they went through the 348 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,000 process, please meet at me. If you can get to the part where 349 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,480 the king saw the Son of Man among them, I'll be glad. 350 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,720 Bible Messes understand that when they went through the 351 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,320 process, they went into the fire. 352 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,600 They will be happy in the fire. They were happy their king 353 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,160 Nebuchadnezzar, he was watching them. 354 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,880 So I was like a movie.

Now everybody was watching naked 357 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,400 double beard as I leaped to his feet in amazement and he he 358 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,920 asked his advices Why is there three men that we tied up and 359 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,520 threw into the fire. They replied certainly your 360 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,680 majesty, please continue. He said, look, I said four men 361 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,440 walking in the fire, Hallelujah on bold and unharmed. 362 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,560 It means that they were in the fire, but they were not bent. 363 00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:25,120 Hallelujah. And the fourth person looks like 364 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:31,720 a son of the gods, Hallelujah. So in the fire, God was with 365 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,200 them. Even if, if we know our God will 366 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,720 save us, but even if they allowed themselves to go through 367 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,080 the process, they didn't bent the standards of God. 368 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,720 And then I, I, I want to announce to you that God came 369 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,880 through for them. So if you are here and you have 370 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,960 gotten to a stage in your Christianity where things are so 371 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,480 rough that according to your flesh you want to bend your 372 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,080 standards, I pray for grace for you. 373 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,160 The grace that came on Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. 374 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,880 Nobody is saying it is easy the way I'm talking like this. 375 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,120 You may oh, this says it is not easy. 376 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,880 We know, we know, it's not easy, even if God does not come for 377 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,120 us. But the good news is that when 378 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,280 you allow yourself to go through the process, God will definitely 379 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,640 come through for you. Hallelujah. 380 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,680 Just as he came from measured shadow and Abednego. 381 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,680 And then at the end of the day, they were shining light. 382 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,000 Stars, they were lights. Hallelujah. 383 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:43,120 Die on me, Keep trusting me in all you do. 384 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,440 Surely my prayer senses with you. 385 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:56,440 Surely the tree will be lookout to me. 386 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:27,640 Lookout to me, realight on me. So that is the second thing that 387 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,920 according to Philippians chapter 2, when you do, you will shine 388 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,960 like I start. The first one we saw was that 389 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,200 even if nobody is there, do the right thing when no one is 390 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,080 watching. And then the second thing we 391 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,560 have also realized is that As for God, He will come through 392 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,400 for us, but even if He doesn't, we should still hold on to our 393 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,960 mandates. And we know at the end he will 394 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,600 come through for us and we will be shining our stars in the 395 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,160 world. Hallelujah. 396 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,280 Now when you go to Philippines chapter 2, verse 15, that was 397 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,280 like I mentioned, please give me Philippians 215. 398 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,080 Very soon I'll bring the message to an end, right? 399 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:25,920 Please go to 14. OK 13, 12 OK so the next thing 400 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,200 we can see before we come to the den part which will make us 401 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,560 shine is that it says that continue to work out your 402 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,600 salvation with fear and trembling. 403 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,600 Please continue, for it is God who works in you to will and to 404 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,680 act in order to fulfill His good purpose. 405 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,760 So the next thing that you will exhibit or the next thing that 406 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,960 you will do which will make people see that you are shining 407 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,640 as a star, or which will make you stand out or be 408 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,640 distinguished, is that you have to work out your own salvation 409 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,880 with fear and Chamberlain Hallelujah, how do we work out 410 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,000 our salvation? Let's no one like you. 411 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,800 You have to study the Word of God, Amen. 412 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,080 There, there is no shortcut. There's no shortcut. 413 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:18,560 It's good to listen to podcasts. It's listen, it's good to join 414 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,160 online prayers. It's good to do all the things 415 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,080 you need to do as a Christian, but you have to study the word 416 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,080 of God for yourself. You have to have time, a time 417 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,240 where you take the the hard copy of the word of God, you sit 418 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,880 down. That is what we call quiet time 419 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,360 and meditation. You sit down, you read, you 420 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,040 meditate, and then you receive revelations from. 421 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,600 There is no shortcut. You have to read the Word of God 422 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,320 if you want to be a true Christian. 423 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,920 You have to commit yourself to prayer while you are reading the 424 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,880 word of God and then you are praying. 425 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,280 You are working out your own salvation. 426 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,320 You have to also add fasting to it. 427 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,840 You see some of these things when we say, you may think, oh, 428 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,600 we always hear it. That's what they wear. 429 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:00,840 They say every day we should read the word. 430 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,520 Every day they say prayer. Every day they say fasting. 431 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,800 We always say it and we continue to say it because that is where 432 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,920 power lies. Say that is where power lies. 433 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,720 Say it to yourself, That is where power lies. 434 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,280 You cannot be a Christian without power if you are a 435 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,000 Christian without power. The last time I was listening to 436 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:29,320 add Bishop Duncan Williams during the the program that the 437 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,120 Church of Pentecost invited all the churches, what was their 438 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,400 name? All Ministers Conference. 439 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,520 Very well, I was listening to him. 440 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,800 I don't know why most of you listen. 441 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,680 And then he was saying that and I quote, if you are a Christian 442 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,680 without power, the devil will use you as teaching guy. 443 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,880 He said it. If you didn't listen, I'm 444 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,720 telling you, the devil will use you as teaching guy. 445 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,920 You know what teaching guy is? If you are a Christian without 446 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,000 power, the devil will use you as teaching guy. 447 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,600 I remember one time I was going, I was with a colleague and we're 448 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,240 using the chado, the chado route to work. 449 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,520 And then we got to a house where you see this houses that they 450 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:17,120 use the electrical wires to cover to how should I say it, 451 00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,600 the house is faced with electrical wires. 452 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,920 The one that's when the light in the evening, you see light and 453 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,679 then thieves are not able to come through. 454 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:26,239 Do you do you understand what I'm saying? 455 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,040 You see that electrical wiring very well. 456 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,040 So when we got to one house with electrical wiring there, he told 457 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,960 me that Barbara, this electrical wiring, there's no power in it. 458 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,239 And I said, as I said, how come me and you, we are not in that 459 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,440 house, we are not there. How did you know that there's no 460 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,719 power in it? Then he said, can't you see 461 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,800 cobwebs around the fire? Can't you see Lizas moving 462 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,560 around in the fire? It means that there is no power. 463 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,120 Then you are saying that he has one in his house where at one 464 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,360 night he, he was in his room and then he puts it on. 465 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,000 You know when you put it on, there's fire all around so 466 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,120 thieves cannot break in. He said he put it on and then he 467 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,120 could hear a noise. So he came out and then he was 468 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,360 looking around to see whether there are thieves around or 469 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,760 someone is trying to break into the house or something. 470 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,400 What is actually going on? Then he said as he looked, he 471 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,320 saw one small lizard trapped at the corner of the wire. 472 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,880 Small lizard? Oh, when the lizard got to where 473 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,600 the wiring was, because there was power, it's died. 474 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,360 So when you are a Christian without power, the devil will 475 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,920 use you like Tsinga. But it is my prayer that the 476 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,360 devil will not use anyone like Tsinga here in the name of 477 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,640 Jesus. So commit yourself to the word 478 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,360 of God. Commit yourself to prayer. 479 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,680 Commit yourself to fasting. Commit yourself to the ministry 480 00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:59,280 of the Holy Ghost. When you do that, you will 481 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,280 receive power. I want to quote Katherine 482 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,240 Coleman. Katherine Coleman said 483 00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:07,040 something. Those of you who don't know 484 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,040 Katherine Coleman, she was a powerful woman of God in her 485 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,800 generation. She said that God has not given 486 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:14,960 to me. She was talking to her 487 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,560 congregation and she was telling them that God has not given to 488 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,840 me. One thing He will not give to 489 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,480 any of you young people if you pay the price. 490 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:30,880 So for every anointing, there is a price to pay, there is a price 491 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,800 to pay. There are sacrifices you must 492 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,120 do. The anointing does not come just 493 00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:41,600 just just like that. There's a price to pay. 494 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,840 There's a sacrifice you must do. And one of the sacrifices is 495 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,560 what we are teaching you. Commit yourself to the study of 496 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,560 the word. Commit yourself to prayer. 497 00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:52,480 Commit yourself to fasting. Commit yourself to the ministry 498 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,320 of the Holy Ghost. And as you continually do this, 499 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,800 you will receive power. Amen. 500 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,080 You see, we have gotten to a generation of AI. 501 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,280 Everything is on the Internet, see a time is coming that if you 502 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,280 are a parent and you do not have power and you do not have the 503 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,120 Holy Ghost, why you talk to your children? 504 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,920 Don't even listen because they can find everything on the 505 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,160 Internet. What are you going to tell them 506 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,280 that they don't know on AI immediately the Google Papa, it 507 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,520 is there. So what would distinguish you as 508 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,840 a parent when you talk to your children? 509 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,520 Don't hear. It is the Holy Ghost, 510 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,440 Hallelujah, it is the Holy Ghost. 511 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,920 It is the Holy Ghost, it is the Holy Ghost. 512 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,320 So you cannot do without working out your salvation with fear and 513 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,240 trembling. When you do so, you will become 514 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,320 a light in your generation. You become a star. 515 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,000 You become a star in your workplace, wherever you find 516 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,400 yourself at home, and then you will shine for people to see. 517 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,960 People will see you, and then through you don't come to the 518 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,200 serving knowledge of Christ. Even as I'm bringing my message 519 00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:00,120 to an end, I want to reiterate to you that Jesus is light. 520 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,520 And because we have believed in Him, we are also light. 521 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,800 We need to shine wherever we find ourselves. 522 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,800 When no one is watching us, we need to do the right thing. 523 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,360 God will come through for us. Even if He does not, we need to 524 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,440 still maintain our standards. And in the end, He will come 525 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,000 through for us. You need to work out your own 526 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,640 salvation with fear and trembling. 527 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,040 You need to study the Word. You need to commit yourself to 528 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,200 prayer, to the Holy Ghost, sacrifice to the Lord. 529 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,840 Give so seats to the Lord. And as you are doing this, you 530 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,800 will be a light. Your star will shine brighter 531 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,520 and brighter and brighter, and you will stand out in your 532 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,440 field. You will live a life worthy of 533 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,320 your calling. Amen. 534 00:38:52,910 --> 00:38:54,830 Shall. We bless our secretary. 535 00:38:57,110 --> 00:39:02,750 God richly bless you. In the next 5 minutes we want to 536 00:39:02,830 --> 00:39:06,470 ask you, what did you hear? Please pause the microphone. 537 00:39:07,470 --> 00:39:09,710 Tell us what you had before we pray. 538 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:19,300 What did you hear? Just tell us what you hate. 539 00:39:19,620 --> 00:39:22,340 Don't say all so that others can see the rest. 540 00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:26,980 Please no brother. Start from Perita and pass it 541 00:39:26,980 --> 00:39:28,420 on. It's not optional. 542 00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:33,420 Just tell us what you hate. You just pass it on to the next 543 00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:34,740 person when you finish. I heard. 544 00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:43,170 That I'm a star in the world. I heard that. 545 00:39:43,970 --> 00:39:46,930 Even if God doesn't come true for me, I still have to believe 546 00:39:46,930 --> 00:39:50,000 in Him. What ahead is that? 547 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,000 We should rely on Him and all our needs should be granted. 548 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,480 Amen. I heard that we are starting, we 549 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:02,280 must shine. I heard that we are starting, we 550 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,920 might shine. And even if the situation, the 551 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,880 world is becoming difficult for us, we shouldn't maneuver our 552 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,400 ways. We should focus on Christ and 553 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,960 pray. Amen. 554 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,360 So to add up, I had people shine when they do something extremely 555 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,880 well in their jurisdiction. And so as Christians, wherever 556 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,880 we find ourselves, we should endeavor to sign. 557 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,880 Do something to stand out for a good name. 558 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:31,240 Amen.

I heard that even after praying 571 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,200 and fasting and still things aren't going the way you 572 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,720 expected. Don't give up, still continue to 573 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,880 pray because that is where power lies. 574 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,400 And that we should shine in every circumstances. 575 00:41:54,670 --> 00:41:58,310 I learned that we should trust God and allow Him to guide our 576 00:41:58,310 --> 00:42:02,910 path.

Hence, we should always read our 581 00:42:16,430 --> 00:42:18,270 Bibles because there is no shortcut. 582 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,400 Even if you want to join prayers, you still have to read 583 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,520 your Bible so that you meditate on it. 584 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,400 I like that I might shine anywhere I find myself. 585 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,680 I learnt that we should believe in God no matter the situation, 586 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,520 just like Daniel and his friends did. 587 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:43,960 I learned that we must stand out wherever we find ourselves. 588 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:54,080 I learnt that we should work on our salvation with fear and 589 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,600 trembling.

I learned that we should 594 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:21,080 continue doing everything we are destined to do and never give 595 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:26,720 up. I learned that we should always 596 00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:30,080 hold on to God. God will always come through for 597 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,800 His children. Even if He doesn't come through, 598 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,920 we should hold on because He would come through at the end. 599 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,160 I learned that Jesus is the light of the world and because 600 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,160 we believe in Him, we are also the light of the world. 601 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,440 I learned that we should be good. 602 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,880 We should do good even in the absence of the law. 603 00:43:50,880 --> 00:44:01,520 I also learned that we should stand firm no matter, no matter 604 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,360 the circumstances that we find ourselves, we should keep on 605 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,200 trusting God and he will come true for us. 606 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,520 I learned that Jesus is the light of the world. 607 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,840 He that followed him shall not work in darkness. 608 00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:16,880 I learned that we should have faith. 609 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,640 We should have faith in the Lord. 610 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,880 I learned that we should be strong in our faith. 611 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,920 Just as Daniel and his friends do not bow down to the God, we 612 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,200 should still trust in God in times of difficult. 613 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,160 I learned that you can't be a Christian without the power of 614 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,800 God. So we should also read our word 615 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:45,840 and then pray and fast. I learned that we should be 616 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:53,400 prayerful at all times.

Learned that Jesus Christ is the 627 00:45:51,330 --> 00:46:01,370 light of the world. I learned that we need to take 628 00:46:01,370 --> 00:46:05,960 time to study the Word. I learned that you cannot be a 629 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,920 Christian without power, so you have to have your career time 630 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,880 with God. I learned that we should trust 631 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,240 God always and not get fed up of weight. 632 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,120 I learned that we should obey God not only in His presence, 633 00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,000 also work on our salvation with fear and trembling. 634 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:33,880 I also learned Daniel 3/16 when she used the story of Shadrach, 635 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,120 Meshach, and Abednego to admonish us to keep trusting in 636 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,640 God even if our prayers are not answer. 637 00:46:47,150 --> 00:46:52,270 What I learned that is, as believers, our shy mass reflect 638 00:46:52,270 --> 00:46:55,790 on others so that them too can get impact. 639 00:46:58,910 --> 00:47:02,430 I learned that as Christians, we should continue to shine as the 640 00:47:02,430 --> 00:47:07,960 stars of the world. We should have strong faith in 641 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,680 the Lord and trust Him in all things. 642 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:19,180 I. Also learned that in order to 643 00:47:19,180 --> 00:47:24,620 have power we should be praying, fasting, and reading the word of 644 00:47:24,620 --> 00:47:30,420 God. I learned that before you shine, 645 00:47:30,420 --> 00:47:36,360 you need to pay a price. I learned that even IF even in 646 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,640 our difficult times, we must still hold on to our faith. 647 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,360 I learned that we shouldn't just be Christians without power and 648 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,400 so we must have time to read the Bible. 649 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,200 I learned that we should trust the Lord in any situation we 650 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:59,360 find ourselves. To work out my salvation with 651 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,280 fear and trembling also, and also to do what is right 652 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,200 regardless of where I find myself. 653 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:18,400 I learned that we must have power as Christians as we are 654 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:25,320 just marking time. I learned that the test of true 655 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:30,080 Christianity is when we choose to do the right things when no 656 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:36,120 one is watching. I learned that in everything we 657 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,600 must have faith in God. I learned that if you don't have 658 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,760 power, the devil will use you as touching. 659 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,480 I learned that we must be the light wherever we find 660 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:58,760 ourselves. I heard that the situation she 661 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:05,840 keeps shining. Amen also quoted from Daniel 662 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:11,720 chapter 3 verse 18 as Shadrach, Mesak and Abed Naku said to the 663 00:49:11,720 --> 00:49:14,840 king that even if God does not deliver them, they will not bow 664 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,800 down to the their gods. So she admonished Christians to 665 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,400 also and always stay focused believing that God will 666 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,760 intervene no matter how the situation is. 667 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:52,630 So that is what I learned. I also learned that in terms of 668 00:49:52,630 --> 00:49:55,510 difficulties, I will trust in the Lord. 669 00:49:57,390 --> 00:50:00,750 I also learned that we should work out our salvation with fear 670 00:50:00,750 --> 00:50:04,190 and trembling, and we should also do things without arguing 671 00:50:04,190 --> 00:50:15,480 and grumbling. I learned that when no one is 672 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,560 watching, we should let our light shine. 673 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,840 Amen. I also learned that even in our 674 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,040 secret places, we should always try to do the right thing. 675 00:50:33,790 --> 00:50:36,910 I also heard that we must be commencement to the mandate. 676 00:50:38,470 --> 00:50:41,910 I also learned that we should do everything without arguing and 677 00:50:42,030 --> 00:50:45,870 grumbling. I learned that to shine our 678 00:50:45,870 --> 00:50:49,390 stars in the world, we need to stay committed to God's mandate. 679 00:50:51,550 --> 00:50:54,590 I learned that in all circumstances, we should keep on 680 00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:58,560 trusting God. Amen And learns that Jesus is 681 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,520 the light, and whoever follows him shall not walk in the 682 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:13,940 darkness, but to have the light of the life be the light, 683 00:51:14,580 --> 00:51:16,540 writing everywhere you find yourself. 684 00:51:17,180 --> 00:51:22,420 Shine like the star. Endeavor to do everything due 685 00:51:22,420 --> 00:51:25,740 diligently. Let your work speak for you. 686 00:51:26,020 --> 00:51:30,840 Amen. God bless you all. 687 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,080 Yes. I also learned that we need to 688 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,440 be intentional about our growth in Christ in a study of the 689 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:41,000 Word, prayer, fasting, and also sacrificing the House of God. 690 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,120 Amen. Amen. 691 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,280 Please project Daniel 318 for us. 692 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,760 Let me ask this question. Maybe I need two or three people 693 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:54,960 to try and answer. Then we pray from what she read, 694 00:51:55,040 --> 00:52:00,680 Daniel 318. But even if he does not, we want 695 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:06,840 you to know, your majesty, that we will not serve your ghosts or 696 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:12,280 worship the image of gold you have sets up. 697 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:19,040 The question I want to ask here is they knew God was with them, 698 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,600 right? They knew God was with them. 699 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,720 So if God is with them, why would God allow them to go 700 00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:32,200 through this temptation? Is my question clear? 701 00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:36,400 God could have prevented them from going through this 702 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,520 temptation, but why did God allow them to go through this 703 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:45,760 trial? Yes, there is a hand here. 704 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:53,120 OK, my point of view, I'll say he was trying to test their 705 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:53,560 faith. He. 706 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,400 Was trying to test their faith. Yes, I need 2 persons more. 707 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:12,560 Again, the tests might not necessarily be about the person 708 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,240 going through the test, but for the glory of God to be revealed 709 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,320 and to the others around. Amen. 710 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:28,710 OK, yeah, one more person. OK. 711 00:53:28,910 --> 00:53:33,990 And so we what I'll say is that the test they went to was in the 712 00:53:33,990 --> 00:53:37,360 first Test they've been through. So they knew that the Lord will 713 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,920 save them. That's why they said even if he 714 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,480 doesn't save us in this fire, we will still not bow before him. 715 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,760 So God has done things greater than what the fire they are 716 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,520 going to pass that's why. Amen. 717 00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:54,040 Can you repeat it again? So what I'm saying is that God 718 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:58,080 has tested them and God has done things for them like miraculous 719 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,920 things for them before. So they knew, they knew that the 720 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,160 fire they were going to was something small for God to do 721 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,160 Amen. So even if God, I didn't save 722 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,400 them. Amen. 723 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,960 So the point I want us to learn here is that, and our speaker 724 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:22,000 for today said it, as believers, as people of God, as children of 725 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,960 God, the number one reason why God has called us is to give us 726 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,560 eternal life. Amen. 727 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,880 And the eternal life He has promised us is more valuable 728 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:39,120 than anything. And she said that in our 729 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,240 dispensation people want to use shortcuts. 730 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,920 And she said something throughout the whole week. 731 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,560 The Lord lay something on my heart to come and talk about it. 732 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,800 And I was asking myself, But majority of you are singles, why 733 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,240 should I come and talk about it? And then she mentioned it. 734 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:02,720 The Lord laid on my heart to say here that those of us who are 735 00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:09,880 married yet we commit adultery, and when we come to church, we 736 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:15,240 come to church as if nothing has happened and it is normal, no 737 00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:22,280 repentance, nothing. It's because of our dispensation 738 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,040 corner. The days when somebody falls In 739 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,360 Sync, you could see that the person will come before the Lord 740 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:33,440 crying for forgiveness of sins. But in our dispensation the 741 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,040 person is sleeping in it and when he comes to church and you 742 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:42,720 call him the kind of tongues the person will blow it will marvel 743 00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:46,400 you. Praise the Lord, please. 744 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,240 The word of God that has come today. 745 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,640 Let us take it with all seriousness. 746 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,520 When someone was going through a Shire and then he was being 747 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:02,520 encouraged with the word of God and then he said it is in the 748 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,480 Bible. Let me give you a typical 749 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,160 example. Then we pray the whole week. 750 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,000 You do not come to church as you have come to church. 751 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,880 Let your time in the presence of God be meaningful to you. 752 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,120 At least you should be able to catch something. 753 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,320 My first child, she's 12 years old. 754 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,200 She is suffering from cerebral palsy. 755 00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:34,280 She has never worked before. She cannot use her whole hands 756 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:39,320 to do anything. So what it means is that we have 757 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:44,280 to do everything for her. Please, are you here? 758 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:51,040 And then one time she she has fallen sick severally by one 759 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,840 time she got choked and then I rushed her to the hospital. 760 00:56:55,840 --> 00:57:00,200 In fact, she died because it got to a point that she was briefly 761 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,280 and so at the hospital I was praying for him and people were 762 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:11,640 looking at me Papi now Oh, but I was situation with my own corner 763 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:16,720 on top and then I kept on praying, praying, praying. 764 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:22,960 So the Lord intervened and she came back to consciousness. 765 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,520 The other time I was asking myself, you see, when you read 766 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,960 the Bible and facing the reality, they are two different 767 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,960 things. Imagine you having a child who 768 00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:41,560 cannot do anything. Because of her, I cannot go out 769 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,520 the time I want. In fact, just say it is not 770 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,400 easy. Every morning I have to buffer, 771 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:53,280 I have to feed her. You have to at least dedicate 2 772 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,520 hours for her before you can go out. 773 00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:02,840 And then what came to my mind is the woman in the Bible who bled 774 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:08,040 for 12 years. If it should be you, what will 775 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:09,640 you do and what will be your prayer? 776 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:17,520 Praise the Lord. Whenever we talk about the 777 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,600 Scriptures, the Bible and the reality, they are two different 778 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,760 things. But I came to realize that the 779 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:30,080 reason why I wasn't thinking like those people is because the 780 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:35,800 Spirit of God was my strength. So what brings the difference? 781 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,120 You come face to face with death just like these people. 782 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,840 Yet they chose death. God could have decided to allow 783 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,000 them to die. And if they should die, they 784 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:53,120 know they are going to heaven. Hello, in our dispensation, how 785 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,920 many of us can stand for our faith? 786 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:03,240 We love ourselves so much that we are only interested in what 787 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:08,560 we shall eat, drink where, what we shall gain today and then be 788 00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:13,720 popular. Please, I want to beg you in the 789 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,280 name of the Lord, if you are here this morning and you can 790 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,200 hear my voice. Some of us, we have come to 791 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:24,200 church because today is Sunday. Some of us, we have come to 792 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,640 church because if you don't come, someone may ask you why 793 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,920 did you not go? But I want to believe that God 794 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,440 has brought you this morning to speak to you. 795 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:42,280 So please, if you can stand for your faith, if you can stand and 796 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:49,440 shine just like these people, you can never do away with the 797 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:54,680 Spirit of God because He is our strength. 798 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:59,120 And without the Spirit of God, you cannot be exceptional, 799 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,840 praise the Lord. So please, as I'm calling Elder 800 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:09,240 Amuzu to come and lead us, pray. She has mentioned a lot of 801 01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:13,600 things. Many of us, our dealings with 802 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:18,400 God is not correct. Many of us, we are not faithful 803 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,320 to God. Many of us, if no one is not 804 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:27,320 dead, we use the shortcuts. And so we did the short the 805 01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,400 shortest time that we are going to pray. 806 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,720 You see, the Lord refused to redeem. 807 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,000 It doesn't matter how long we are going to use to pray by your 808 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,280 sincerity to God matters. So please ask you are going to 809 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:45,720 enter into a time of prayer. I want to believe that God want 810 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,000 to restore us. God want to bring us back on 811 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,400 track. God does not want us to go into 812 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:56,160 eternal condemnation and that is the reason why you have the 813 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,280 opportunity. I have the opportunity to hear 814 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,400 this message. So after hearing this message, 815 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:06,200 if you will not be wise enough to turn back and say, God, I 816 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:11,520 have come back to you, forgive me and give me your strength so 817 01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,240 that I can stand for you. If you will not be wise enough, 818 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:27,040 then I mean. They shall be on our feet as we 819 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,040 thank God for the message that He has given unto us. 820 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,720 The Lord is working on us, and as we've come to him, let's 821 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,480 thank Him for this message, for the mysteries that He has 822 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:42,760 refused unto us this morning. Father, we thank you for the 823 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,920 mysteries that You've revealed unto us. 824 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,560 The Father we are supposed to shine wherever that we find 825 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,080 ourselves.

I don't know by inside me the 832 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:27,520 Lord is telling me that we have come to Him and there are 833 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,520 certain things that we know ourselves. 834 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:35,800 We do it in secret that doesn't reflect Christ, but us. 835 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,920 The message has come. We are supposed to shine 836 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,560 wherever that we find ourselves, whether people are looking at us 837 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,480 or people are not looking at us. You know yourself, I know 838 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,360 myself. And we are praying and we are 839 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,160 telling God that may the Lord forgive us if you've done 840 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,600 something against Israela may the Lord forgive us and grant 841 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,800 us.
