unusual.
And when it fire burns, my heart is captured to work.
I have in me the burning fire, oh, a sound of great things.
I have in me the burning fire.
Hallelujah.
Yeah.
I want to talk to you on five reasons why we must be close to God.
Hallelujah.
It's going to be good.
Five reasons why we must be close to God.
We must get close to God.
It's just bulletin, five reasons.
Hallelujah.
And the one who is in the projection, as we are doing, then you'll be putting it on this
thing.
Hallelujah.
And I'll say five reasons why you must be close to God.
Hallelujah.
You see, we live in a world where people are trying to explain God our way.
believe in a world where God is seen to be something that is not a necessity.
And
I want to give you five solid reasons.
Hallelujah. And you see, the world today, like I was saying, does not regard God to be something that is necessary.
Hallelujah. And we are raising children, we are going to our schools, we are going to our work, we are doing all the things we are doing.
And God is not a necessary part of the things that we do.
And you see, even this thing has affected people who are in church. And the Bible spoke about it.
Hallelujah. When you read 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 1, let's look at that. 1 Timothy 4 1, sorry.
Yes.
Hallelujah.
Okay, so we have Nigerians here, so this is a mixed multitude church.
Hallelujah. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly
that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith. I want to look at someone and tell the person,
may it not be you.
Bible says,
So even in the church, in the body of Christ, or in the church, there are people that are departing from the faith.
These are some of the things that the Bible has spoken that it will happen. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. That you see somebody who goes to church,
Bible says,
People will depart from the faith. It means that the faith will not become a necessity. Hallelujah.
See, we have to understand, we live in dangerous times. We live in serious times.
The world is not what you are seeing around. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
We live in dangerous times. We live in dangerous times. We live in dangerous times.
I pray that today by the time church closes and you are going home, you will reflect.
You will reflect and make some changes in your life. Praise the name of the Lord.
The Bible says in the latter days, many will depart from the faith. And I pray this prophecy does not happen to you.
You will not come to a place where you depart from the faith.
Hallelujah. Many will depart from the faith.
Will it be me? Will it be you? There are people who have believed in Jesus.
Their life can't be controlled. Hallelujah. You cannot direct them.
You can't direct them. We live in that time where people are getting into the place of explaining God out of their lives,
out of their schools, out of their institutions and God becomes a thing of the past. Praise the name of the Lord.
So this is the reason why I want to give you five strong reasons why we must be close to God.
Now if I say close to God, of course he is. I mean we are born again. We are in God. Hallelujah.
I'm talking about your vital work with God.
You will get close or God is nearer to those who come near to him. Hallelujah.
He is active. That is active.
I don't want to live my life without God. I don't want to live my life as though God does not exist. Hallelujah.
The Bible says draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Is it true? Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Hallelujah.
So working with God in this time, in these days and time, in fact not just working with God,
working closely with God in these days and time is a must. Because if you don't do that, you also depart from the faith.
Hallelujah. Number one, why must we get close to God? Hallelujah.
Number one, because God is the Great Shepherd. Hallelujah. God is the Great Shepherd.
The reason why we have to get close to God and I believe everybody is writing.
He is the Great Shepherd and everybody needs a shepherd in his life. Hallelujah.
So the reason why we have to be close, close to God is because God is the Great Shepherd.
God has offered himself to shepherd anybody who comes close to him.
Hallelujah. And that's who a shepherd is. Let's go to Psalm 23.
This is a very simple sentence. Hallelujah. Psalm 23.
If you are there, say, I am there. Okay, Psalm 23.
Psalm 23.
The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough.
Hallelujah. King James said, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.
The reason why I shall not want in this life is because God is my shepherd.
The reason why I can have more than enough is because God is my shepherd.
In other words, if you live in this world and God is not your shepherd, you shall want.
Very simple. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. It's the reason why we get close to God.
The reason why we must make up our minds to work with God is that when we are with God, we don't want.
Now, so wanting is an indication of the lack of shepherding.
When somebody is living his life and always is craving for things, always never satisfied,
that person is not working with God as God being his shepherd.
Praise the name of the Lord. Come on, are we together here? Hallelujah.
So there are people who want all kinds of things. They want attention, they want money, they want this, they want that.
When you meet them, it's like they are never satisfied. They are never happy. They are never joyful.
Always something is missing in their lives.
And there are many young people like that, never settled in life.
When somebody can go out to the extent of killing somebody for money,
it tells you how desperate and how hungry the person is.
But the Bible says that if you are going to allow God to be your shepherd this morning, from this morning going,
the Bible says you shall never want.
See, when you believe in God, when you walk with God, when God becomes your shepherd,
He does not come and give you fiscal money that take.
First of all, the thing He does is that He brings satisfaction into your hearts.
I'll read that to you. He brings completion into your hearts.
So, he brings it into the heart of the person.
Hallelujah. See,
as I'm preaching, you will know whether you are close to God or you are not close to God.
Say, God is the great shepherd. So, he says, God is my shepherd. I shall not want.
Let's go to verse 2. He says, He offers a resting place for me in His luxurious love.
Oh, hallelujah. He makes me to lie down in green pastures.
He gives me, He offers me a resting place. There are people who don't have rest in life.
You see the person.
He gives me a resting place.
He offers me a resting place.
I pray for you in the name of Jesus that from today you will accept the resting place of God and you'll be resting.
Hallelujah. Yes, you'll be resting. As I am here, I know I am resting.
I am resting because God is my great shepherd.
Are you understand that? He's my great shepherd. I don't need a sword. I don't need anybody to show me whatever.
I don't need anybody to tell me this. I don't need anybody to tell me that. God is my great shepherd.
I have a resting place.
Say, I have a resting place.
So, when you see some who won't be at all near rest,
everyday, every day, every day, the person is restless.
But you know, God gives us a resting place.
How many of us believe that we have a resting place in God?
He gives us a resting place.
He says he gives us a resting place in his luxurious love. I will not explain that.
So he says he makes us lie down in green pastures. Then he leads us beside the still waters.
Say, one of the things you see that
you see that, there's something that is called rumination. What is rumination?
What is rumination? First, what is rumination?
So bringing back what he chewed into other one.
When somebody is restless,
he says,
why because
you understand?
But that is how it is.
You don't mind going to idols. You don't mind going to shrines. You don't mind. You know,
you know why? It is not because you need it so badly. It is because you have never been
under a shepherd. You've never been under the great shepherd. Because if God is your great
shepherd, you will be resting. You will be resting. Hallelujah. I say you'll be resting.
Maybe you are here today. What I'm saying is very new to you. After the service, I'll pray for you
that from today you make up your mind. I'm going to walk closely with God.
Hallelujah. Because you see, a lot of people go to church today. But what kills unbelievers is
killing them. Some people are in church and yet they can commit suicide.
Do you know why?
If you have a shepherd, you will rest.
People who have shepherds, they don't agitate. Hallelujah. They don't agitate. They are always
stable. Instability is a sign that you have not been walking closely with God.
Today your mind is changing. You want to go to church. Today you don't want to go to church.
Today you are happy. Tomorrow you are not happy. Today you want money. Tomorrow you don't want
money. Today you are there. You just feel like you should cry. Today you are there. You just
feel like you should laugh. Instability is a sign of the lack of the shepherding of God.
Hallelujah.
He opens before me pathways to God's pleasure and leads me along in his full steps of righteousness
so that I can bring honor to his name. Hallelujah. Do you see that? So if God is your shepherd,
this is what happens to you. Then he says, if yet though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Why am I not going to fear any evil? Because my great
shepherd is with me. When you are going through troubles,
so it's not like things will not happen to you. Things will happen to you. But if you have
subscribed to the shepherding of God, you will not be afraid. Hallelujah.
I pray for you in the name of Jesus that today you make up your mind.
Hallelujah. Tell somebody, I pray you make up your mind.
Yeah. Look at the person. When I say, say, look at the person and say to the person,
because everything is dangerous right now. Look at the person and say, I pray you make up your mind.
Yeah. Make up your mind to walk with God. He's the great shepherd. Hallelujah. Number two,
God is the great source. So number one, we have to walk close with God because God is the great
shepherd. Hallelujah. Oh, I said, hallelujah. He's the great shepherd.
The God who orders our step are right. Hallelujah. And number two, he is our great
source. Say God is my great source. Or like you mean, say God is my source.
Fapping. Okay. Yeah. Who said that? Oh, come on, come on. Foundation.
Foundation. I think interpretation translation. God is my great source.
Oh, no, I mean, we want to see free. Massifri or my source. Hallelujah. And God is,
he is the great source. The Bible says that he is the beginning and he's the end.
He is the beginning and he's the end. Say he's the beginning.
Can we say he's the beginning and he's the end. That means that see, if you forsake God,
there is nothing you can get because in him are all things. From him are all things and unto him
are all things. So,
but it will never bring fulfillment. It will never bring joy. It will never.
You know why? Because the real source is God. Let me take you to Psalm 16.
I want to preach it in like 15, 20 minutes. 30 minutes and then I'm done. Hallelujah.
I'm going to walk. I said this.
16 11. Psalm 16 11. Say I walk with God. Now this is serious. Say I walk with God.
Come on. Say I walk with God. He is my great shepherd. Come on. He's my great shepherd.
He is my great shepherd. Say everywhere I go, he is my shepherd. I will never miss my way.
God is leading me. God is leading me. Can I hear your voice? Say God is leading me.
Say he's leading me in my life. He's leading me in my life.
He's leading me in my life. He's leading me in my life. Hallelujah.
He says thou who show me the path of life.
Oh hallelujah. That will show me the path of life. In thy presence is fullness of joy.
And at thy right hand are pleasures evermore. Praise the name of the Lord.
He says joy is in his presence.
Real joy is in the presence of God. Hallelujah. The great source,
the source of our strength, the source of our joy is right there in the presence of God.
See that is why we feel miserable whenever we are not walking with God.
Because you can say you are not... you can get all the money, you can get everything you want,
but who said there's something that is lacking? When a man forsakes God, when you look at him,
the person may have all the money, the person may have everything, but you can look at him and know
there's something that is missing. And you know when you also give your heart to God,
when you give your life to God, you may not have all the money in the world, but you feel so joyful.
So joyful. People can brag about where they have traveled to and all of that and stuff like,
of course I mean we all travel, but listen that will not be the source of your joy.
Your source of your joy will be in the presence of God. Hallelujah.
I went to a place with a woman. We were there. So when we went to the place, it was supposed to be
a meeting and in the meeting they were praying. So they made some people, the meeting was delayed,
so they made some people come and sing. So the people were singing and whilst we were all sitting
and waiting, people started dancing. It was not a church meeting. Then we had a program. We were all
dancing. So people got up and they were dancing. And you know what the woman told me? The woman is not
serious with church. She doesn't go to church. Then the woman said, hey, I saw Christ in the power.
And I said, I need to go for this. Then I intentionally said, oh, I said, I need to go for this.
And she said, oh, I said, I need to go for this. I said, I need to go for this.
I said, I need to go for this. I said, I need to go for this.
And I said, wow, this is somebody who does not go to church.
So even the person got to know that real joy is in the presence of God. Sometimes I wonder why
people will not want to go to church because I don't know. They just met and they said, I'm not
going to church. Do you know why? Because when I come to church, the joy I experience, I can never
experience that in a party. I can't experience that anyway. It's only in the... You see, when
I told somebody who was leading the program, he says that I was glad when they said unto me,
let us go into the house of the Lord. I love going to church. See, he is our great source,
the source of our joy. Hallelujah. The source of our joy is in his presence. Listen, he says that
in your presence is the fullness of joy. The word fullness, you see the Bible didn't actually say
in the presence of God is joy. Or see, it is the fullness, the completion of joy. Praise the Lord.
So in the presence of God is the completion of joy. It is where our joy is complete.
The God does not give us half, half joy. No, he gives us complete joy. Come on, say complete joy.
Oh, do I have people in church at all? Say complete joy. Come on, say complete joy.
Complete joy. So in the presence of God is the fullness of joy.
So you cannot be walking close to God and not be a joyful person.
Do we all agree? You can't be walking with God and be... No, no.
Say, oh, Christ is not talking with this. If you meet a Christian like that, I don't talk with this
way. I don't like this way. I don't like the way they talk. I don't... No, no, no, no. See, your
problem is not what the people have done. You are not walking with God. You are not close to God.
Because if you are close to God, your joy will overshadow the pain that people will cause around
you. Right now and now, it will help you. Right now.
Because the woman is angry at the father. But you see,
the joy of God, the fullness of it will be transmitted into you.
Hallelujah. You will have peace in the midst of chaos. It will not just be a song that you put on
your status, but it will be a life that you truly live. You will have peace. That don't make sense.
Why should you be laughing and be happy and be joyful at this time?
Then you say, me myself, I don't understand. But one thing is that I'm working with God. So I know
all things are going to be fine. Hallelujah. You know what the Bible says? The Bible says,
for we know that all things work together. All things. He says, all things. All things work
together for the good of those who love God. Yeah. Right? It's Romans 8. Let's go there. Romans 8.
Let's go there. Romans 8. Let's go there quickly. 828. Hallelujah. Are you being blessed?
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. He didn't say to them
who got love. To them that love God. Those who have a penchant for God. Hallelujah.
Two different things.
You know, I nearly came to laying hands on you when you were leading the worship. Nearly.
Near Ekata. Do you know why? When there's no keyboard in the church, at a point where we are
expecting people to come to church, it should spoil everything. But you know what? When I went to the
room and prayer was happening, I called someone and said, he's not coming. His father is going
somewhere. He's going somewhere with his uncle. Then when I started opening the Bible, then the
Lord said, no, why is he not coming? And I said, he's not coming. He's not coming. He's not coming.
Then the Lord said, no, why is there? You'll be fine. I'm telling you, I heard it. The Lord said,
no, why is there? You'll be fine. Relax. And it's like a joke. It's like a joke.
When this brother had no computer, he was like, everything. And he was sweating.
And he was like, what?
You know what I'm talking about?
It's a different thing knowing that God loves you so you are coming to church. And it's a different thing saying, father, for the love you have shown me, I love you. I love you. I love you. Do you understand it?
So, people who have a penchant for God, people who have a desire for God, people who are hungry for God, people who desire to work with God, people all that matters in their life is working with God.
Hallelujah. And the Bible says we know all things work together for them. All things work together for them.
So, even they may be through some bad experiences, seriously bad experiences, now that you look at them, you are wondering, this guy, what can we do to break him down?
Hallelujah.
If I know I love the Lord, I can bet my life with anything that watch me, I'm a success going to happen. Because my work with the Lord is not out of hypocrisy or out of mischievousness.
I'm not worshipping God because of what I'll get. I just love him for loving me. I just love him for being God.
Oh, may the Lord help us to love him. She responding to his love and loving him back. You see, God does not care about our love. Our love for him is eternal by which all things are converted to work for your good.
Hallelujah. Look at your brother, your sister and tell that brother or sister, brother, love the Lord.
Love the Lord. Love the Lord. Hallelujah.
Go all out because you know God is my source. He is my great source in his presence. He is the fullness of joy. Hallelujah. You can never cause a man who believes in God to be sad forever. It doesn't happen.
No, no, no. If somebody is working with God, no matter the arrows you shoot at him, you always see him floating. So God told Jacob, he told Israel, he says if you are walking in the fire, I am with you so you'll not be bent.
He says if you get into the water, if somebody throws you into the sea because I am with you, you'll not be drowned. There is a spirit that is working with us. Are you understanding that? There is a God that is working with us.
Hallelujah.
It's not just about so. One of our brothers were talking, I mean I was talking with Prince and the reason why a lot of people don't go to church, they don't laugh church is because when they go to church, they don't get anything.
The best thing you can do is to take a picture.
I'm telling you, you'll be there after the service.
I was telling Prince yesterday about somebody who was invited for the all night.
What was the service going on?
He was conscious.
I wanted something.
We are not going to church. I want you to permit me. This is where I want to go. I want to attend church.
Do you understand that? The presence of God gives you completeness of joy.
He gives you what? Enigia. Let's read the next scripture. Today I came to preach.
Let's go to Psalm 17. 17 again. Next this one.
Hallelujah. Psalm 17. 15. We are going to close right now but I will pray for you.
This is this thing. Let's go to NLT or something else.
You are abstaining your Christian life with active fellowship. Everything is inside.
Somebody read NLT for me. I love the Lord.
Okay.
Good. Now let me read from Amplified. As for me, I will continue beholding your face in righteousness.
I shall be fully satisfied when I wait to find myself beholding your form having sweet fellowship with you.
So he says, I will be fully satisfied.
So when you are with God, when you are close with God, when you walk closely with God, he brings you satisfaction.
Do you understand that? So it means satisfaction is from him. I don't know what you are looking for in life.
Can I talk to you? Can I talk to you? I don't know what you are looking for in life.
But whatever you are looking for, real satisfaction is in Christ. Real satisfaction is in walking with God.
Hallelujah. I want to challenge you this morning that make up your mind you are going to walk with God.
Make up your mind you are going to be serious with your walk with God.
Hallelujah. May you not happy you just came to church maybe they even force you to be here.
Hallelujah. No, walk with God. Your life will never be the same.
You didn't hear what I just told you.
If you say, beholding his face is a satisfaction with joy.
Hallelujah.
When we will be sitting all right.
When we will be here.
Everyday is so happy, so glad.
Say God is my sauce. God is my sauce. God is my sauce. God is my sauce. God is my sauce. God is my sauce.
Sit down let me finish this thing. Thank you.
Number three. No let's do 21 six. Some 21 six. Some 21 by six.
21 six.
For thou hast made him most blessed forever.
Why? Because you have made him exceedingly glad with your presence.
With your countenance. Did you see that?
He says the reason why you have made him the most blessed.
You are most blessed when you are in the presence of God.
Oh brothers and sisters I can teach on this for three years.
You are most blessed in the presence of God. See I pray for you in the name of Jesus.
You will not allow anything to take you away from God.
Can I say that again? Are you sure you want me to say that again?
I pray for you that you will receive the strength that you will not allow anything to take you away from God.
Because it's dangerous. You are most blessed when you walk close with God.
You are most blessed when you walk with the Lord. You are most blessed in the presence of God.
That is where your blessing is. Your blessing is there in the presence of the Lord.
Hallelujah. Say I am most blessed. Come on say I am most blessed in the presence of the Lord.
Say I am most blessed in the presence of the Lord.
So that's what he's saying. He says it's right there in the presence of God that you are blessed.
Why? Because in the presence of God you are what? You are what?
You are made exceedingly glad. Exceeding gladness.
Gladness you can't explain. Hallelujah.
So in the presence of God we have joy we can't explain.
Because sometimes they don't match.
But you know what? You are walking close with God.
So he makes you exceedingly glad with his presence.
Come on say I shall not want. Come on say I shall not want.
Say Jesus is taking care of me. Come on say Jesus is taking care of me.
And I'm walking closely with him. Hallelujah.
You see it's not about God drawing me nearer. God is rather saying you.
Do you understand? You need that walk with God.
So the first one is that God is what? Come on God is what?
Number two, God is what? Jesus.
The great. So number three, we have to be close with God because number three, he is our great transmitter.
Our great. All the things are great, great, great, great. Because there's nothing small about God.
Hallelujah. It's our great transmitter.
Isaiah 40 verse 28 to 29, the Living Bible, T.O.B.
If you have T.O.B. you can read for us. Hallelujah.
I'm just finishing very soon.
See, when there's an issue and you can't explain.
And while a man that is walking closely with God, you always have a song.
Hallelujah.
He gives power. Isaiah verse 28 and 29.
Have you never heard or understood? Don't you know that the Lord is the everlasting God?
The creator of all the earth. He never grows faint or weary.
No one can measure the depth of his understanding. He gives power to those who are tired and worn out.
He offers strength to the weak. Do you see that?
He gives power to them who are faint and to them that have no might, he increases strength.
Hallelujah. Are we here together?
So the reason why we must walk closely with God, we must take seriously our walk with God,
is that God gives strength to the one who is tired and worn out.
The Bible says,
God gives strength.
You are not shouting. Shout. Hallelujah.
God gives strength. Maybe you are here, you are even tired of life already.
People know you to be very happy when they see you say, oh wow, this sister, you are very happy.
I wish I was like you. See that's the greatest thing, the greatest strategy.
When people want to be like you and you know that they want to be like you, they don't know.
Yeah, I want to be like you. But they don't know that you, that stays in the room and cry.
They don't know that you, that is confused. They don't know that you, that has a lot of questions to ask God.
See if God comes right now and he gives permission to people to ask him questions, he will be overwhelmed.
It will be more than a wierd. He will have a lot of questions to answer.
People are going through things. I'm telling you.
In this world, people are going through things or things are going through them.
One way or the other, something is going through something. Praise the name of the Lord.
There are people who are disappointed in life. They don't know what to do again.
Hallelujah. But if you are here and you are in that category, you feel one out.
You feel like you don't even know what this world is. Why did you even come? Why did you, why were you born in the first place?
There is a God who gives strength. There is a God who gives strength.
There is a God who gives strength to the weak.
God does not say become strong and come close to me. He says come to me as weak as you are.
Because I have what it takes to make you strong. Oh, call Abba Shai.
If you are here and you are weak, you are worn out, you are tired.
I pray for you that today you make a decision to walk close with God.
I am just giving you only one month. If you don't see a change, stop church.
Don't worship God again. I give you only one month. If you are worn out, if you are not happy in life, if you are tired in life,
I am giving you only one month. A challenge that from today, decide you are going to walk with God.
Decide you are going to be serious with God. And I am telling you, strength will come.
Power will come. Might will come. I pray for you in the name of Jesus.
If you are here and you feel weak, the Lord is supplying you strength in this morning.
The Lord is giving you strength this morning. You are tired, you are afraid, you are battered.
The Lord is bringing the strength right from within by his spirit in your inner man in the name of Jesus.
Hallelujah. The strength in God. He gives strength. Tell somebody God gives strength.
The word is he transmits strength. He transmits. You see, you are here.
You don't even know where MTN head office is. You have MTN network.
And when you have the MTN network, it does not change to TIGU. It doesn't change to TIGU.
Hallelujah. So there is something MTN network is transmitting right into your soul.
It comes to you straight. That's the same thing. That's the same thing.
If TIGU network cannot come into MTN same, the moment you align with God and you are walking with God,
he gives strength. Hallelujah. He gives strength.
Maybe you are even in a place where you are afraid. You don't even know what is happening.
You are afraid. You have panic attacks.
I'm telling you, God gives strength. God gives strength.
Come on. Are you here with me everybody? I say God gives what? God gives strength.
So the reason why you are to walk, and he says,
Hallelujah.
22 years.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Hallelujah.
See, I pray. That is why if somebody is walking with God, the person is very bold.
Hallelujah.
I met somebody. I said for the past three weeks,
I was talking to somebody. The brother said that,
I'm serious.
Then the voice will tell him like that. You are about to die.
Very soon this man will put you in the morgue. He will bath you and everything.
And this is a very young guy. See, if you are walking with God, such nonsense voices cannot come inside your mind.
Hallelujah. A man that is born of a woman can never take my life.
You know why? Because God is the one who is giving me strength.
The strength is not coming from me. Are you understanding that? No, the strength is not coming. It's coming from,
it's direct from headquarters. If it's so never,
a man born of a woman, a woman born of a woman, can never take my life.
I'm not saying that because I'm a pastor. No, no, no. I'm saying that because I walk with God.
Do you understand what I'm talking about? Hallelujah. I will not die in accident.
I will not have diabetes. I will not have HIV. I will finish the course of God for my life here on earth.
Hallelujah.
I walk with God. I don't die before my time. I don't lose my life in the name of Jesus.
I am dead with Christ and my life is hid with Christ in God.
So the Bible says the righteous is as bold as a lion. Hallelujah.
I just spoke to somebody right there.
If you say, what name I'm going to give for the name, are you understanding me somebody?
If they plan an accident for you, you will reach home safely because you are walking with God.
The angel of the Lord will go ahead of you. The power of God will go ahead of you.
In the name of Jesus.
No plan of the enemy. No plan of the enemy.
You see the Bible says that they shall surely gather together.
They shall surely gather together. God is saying it is a sure thing. I'm not guessing.
I know they will gather together. I know they will plan against you.
But you know what? There is no weapon. Calamite. There is no weapon that is formed against you.
That's a prosper. When he said no weapon, it means no weapon.
No matter the form and the size they come.
Shouted, I cannot be destroyed because I'm walking with God.
It's like some of you are not in church. Those of us who are in church, shouted, I cannot be destroyed.
I'm walking with God. Shouted, I walk with God. My life is in order.
Maybe you are here and you feel like you are in chains.
This morning is an opportunity for you. It's an opportunity for you.
It's an opportunity for you.
You sleep and something comes to sleep with you. You sleep and something comes to fight you.
Every day in your dream you are fighting somebody. Every day in your dream you are tired.
And whatever and whatever. I don't know what is bothering your life.
I don't know the things. But I am telling you, if you can make up your mind today and decide to walk with the Lord,
there will be a transmission of strength. Your strength will come from the Lord.
The Lord is my strength. The Lord is my power. The Lord is my refuge.
The Lord is my ability. The Lord is everything that I need.
I am the Lord.
Say I have strength from God.
Some of you are not in church. Shouted, I have strength from God.
See some of you.
Do you believe in God? Are you going to walk with God?
Come on, are you going to walk with God?
He gives me strength. He gives me strength.
The meeting wants to start but hold on. Listen.
When a man is walking with God, even the strongest chain cannot bind him.
Can I talk to you again? When a man is walking with God, even the strongest chain cannot bind him.
I don't know who I am talking to. But there is no chain that can bind you.
I don't know the name of the chain. But there is no chain that can bind you.
No chain can bind your life. There is no chain that can bind you in the name of Jesus.
Call Abba Hatayah. You will not be bound. I say you will not be bound.
I declare in the name of Jesus, you will not be bound. You will not be bound.
In the name of Jesus, you will not be bound. You will not be bound.
Shout it, I will not be bound. Shout it, I am free. I am free.
Shout it, free. I am free.
He transmits strength. He transmits strength.
Can you lift your two hands up somebody? Just let's do this right now.
Maybe you came to church today. You have a lot of problems.
Genuine problems. You came to church.
Some things are swallowing you up. You came to church.
And whatever is happening to you, I want to pray for you in the next two minutes.
Before we continue, strength is being transmitted.
I want to pray for you.
Come on. Receive the strength that comes from the Lord.
Receive the strength that comes from the Lord.
Come on, lift up your voice. In the next two minutes.
Come on.
Come on, open your mouth. Don't stop it. Open your mouth.
Wherever you feel there is weakness, in the name of Jesus.
The Spirit of God in you.
Fresh strength. Fresh strength.
I want to pray for you.
Come on.
If you have weakness here and there's any kind of sickness in your body,
right now in the name of Jesus, begin to check it because after strength is being transmitted,
it cannot stay. It will not stay. It will not stay.
It will not stay. It will not stay.
". Lord, give me strength.
Shout it, I have strength. Say
my God. He gives me strength.
He gives me strength. Shout it,
my God. He gives me strength.
my god. he gives me strength.
He gives me strength. He gives
me strength. He gives me
strength. He gives me strength.
He gives me strength. Sit down

together and sit down for 2
minutes.
strength. So, he gives strength
to the one who is weak. He
gives strength. See, it is only
a choice. It's only a choice
for you to be weak as a
Christian. It's only a choice.
It's really a choice. Except
you decide you're not going to
work with God. But if you are
going to work close with God,
you are going to work and love
the Lord. Trust me. The
strength that is coming from
the Lord. You'll be able to
know how to receive it. It is
not the will of God for us as
his children to be weak. No,
it's not the will of God.
Hallelujah. It's not the will
of God that you were a
Christian. And then a witch as
you call it takes your glory.
You are there and say, which
has taken your glory? No. It
doesn't happen like that. A man
that is working with God. His
glory cannot be taken. It's
not a prayer point.
No. Do you know what glory is?
I don't know. No. Do you know
what glory is? My glory cannot
be taken. My glory cannot be
taken. It's like I don't have
I've I've lost my church
because I cannot be taken. My
glory. Say my glory is my
glory. My glory is my glory.
Hallelujah. You make up your
mind. To work with God.
Brothers and sisters, I told
you that in this last days,
what the devil is doing is that
he's taking a lot of people
away from the faith. So, don't
allow yourself to go outside
the faith. Don't allow yourself.
Don't be living your life as
though you are not a Christian.
Come on. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
God said my glory. I will give
to no man.
Praise the name of the lord.
Hallelujah.
See, start taking those things
from your mind. Because the
moment those things are inside
your mind, you you can't even
progress in life. Because
who baby be else are before
shell. Else will be be cool.
Else will be color by.
I'm strong. I'm strong. You
see. Six ten, six ten,
efficient six ten. Let's finish
this thing. Let me just add the
two and then I'll not talk again.
We are done.
Hallelujah. Praise the lord.
Finally, my brethren. Be strong
in the lord. And in the power
of his might. That's how to
work as a Christian. Strong in
the lord. Strong in the lord.
Don't break break down like
that. Hallelujah. You just got
start talking? Sit down just
let me do
Don't do that.
I'm not sure.
Everybody has people in his house.
Do you understand?
Are you here with me everybody?
Don't, don't, those messages,
when you hear those sermons,
your life can progress.
Your life cannot progress.
Because something has happened.
You have to sit and think.
And be objective and find solutions to it.
Don't dream, you know, think about it.
Say I'm strong.
I'm strong.
Number three.
Number four.
The fourth reason why we must be close to God
is that God is our great help.
I told you that
everything is great.
God is our
great help.
Huh?
Oh,
I'm not sure.
Huh?
I'm not sure.
So if you choose to
work with God,
you'll always be helped.
No matter the time.
Hallelujah.
Shout it, I am helped.
I like, I like the shout, yes.
Now let's take it higher.
Shout it, I am helped.
Ka say ya boomy.
Oh, nya mey boomy.
This is going to be your testimony.
I said this is going to be your testimony.
They will just ask you,
ah, how were you able to get here?
You say I was held by the Lord.
Had it not been the Lord on my side,
I was held by the Lord.
I was held,
I was held, I was held.
It's not by my mind.
It's not by my strength.
It's not by my wisdom.
God helped me.
Hallelujah.
And the Lord is helping you.
The Lord is helping you.
When you get to that junction
of your life,
and you are confused,
the Lord is helping you.
When you cannot climb,
the Lord will lift you in the name of Jesus.
Say he's my great help.
Say God is my great help.
Come on.
I feel like this is to somebody.
Shout it, God is my great help.
Yeah.
Now let's read this.

Oh, nyan ko po.

So God is many soldiers

And he's the one who has offered
himself to help me.
Hey, hey, go really tall.

Hey, nyan mea se mea de.
I'm telling you.
The multitude

White Coming Church.
I've been there before when I was young.
No no no.
She says it is strong.
Some times he fells.
But a lot of times I went for a break.
Because for until now he's been helpless.
So I came back for a break.
I invented, there are even more that couldn't be included.
sinking.
What has surrounded me, is strong.
is strong. Some of you don't like what I'm telling you. I cannot say I am going and then they will say oh the man of God went to preach on his way coming at
Capaya. I am surrounded. It will not be said of you. You were on your way to work and you tell your children, your brothers and your family I am going to work and come and then they say you went but you didn't come. You are surrounded.
He says he is your refuge in times of trouble. Shout it I am surrounded. I know some people are not enjoying church no problem because if you are enjoying if I tell you to shout you shout. Shout it I am surrounded. I am surrounded. I am surrounded. I am surrounded.
The Bible talks about the pestilence that will walk in the noonday. The arrows that fly by day. Hallelujah. Arrows are thrown. Pestilence refers to outbreak of diseases. I'm telling you don't work with God.
And say what happened? I am surrounded. You see listen.
If a man is working with God. He is more than a man who has gone to a babalow to go and collect something. Our own is not in a ring. Our own is not in a chain. Our own is not in a cream. Our own is not in an oil.
Our own is in the Lord. Hallelujah. Oh my God. He says as the mountain surrounds Jerusalem so has the Lord surrounded his people. You are surrounded.
I say you are surrounded. You are surrounded. You are surrounded. You are surrounded by the presence of the Lord.
I don't know the family that you come from. Maybe you are even afraid. If I tell you where I am coming from. We understand that where you are coming from is a very serious place. But I am introducing you.
I shout it to your spirit. I shout it to your ear. I shout it to your mind. You are surrounded.
Say when I go I come. Like you understand by the message.
You see our power is not in ourselves. Our power is in the Lord. Your power is in the Lord.
I feel like somebody should shout everything is alright. Shout it. Everything is okay. The Lord is in charge. Glory to God.
Now sit down for a minute. Just sit down for a minute.
Hallelujah.
Let's go to forty-six verse one. Some forty-six verse one. Everything is alright. I have not lost anything. I'm working with the Lord.
The Lord is my restorer. My great help. The Lord is my restorer.
I'm feeling this message myself. Glory to God. Everything is alright. I'm progressing.
I'm gaining height. Step by step. I'm gaining height. I'm gaining height. I'm gaining height. I'm gaining height. Everything is alright.
Glory to God. Alright sit down for two minutes.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Listen.
God.
Everybody look on the body or look in your Bible. Let's read it together.
Say God.
Say God is.
Hey, molest.
Say God is.
He did not say God was. He didn't say God is going to be. He didn't say God is thinking.
God is.
Look at someone say my brother. My sister. My brother. My sister.
God is.
See, all of us, let's read this with a very loud voice.
Open your Bibles. If you have no, open your Bibles.
I'm in church.
Now, are you all there?
Alright, one, two, go.
I need about five hours to explain this. But I'll put it together.
Listen.
God.
Is.
My fascination, my joy is in the is.
I say,
God is.
So, when I find myself in the valley,
God still is.
On the mountain top.
God still is.
When I don't deserve it,
God still is.
When you think I have messed up,
God still is.
I have a church.
Church is good.
Say, God is.
God is.
Oh yeah.
You know,
see, how many of you, how many of you,
when you were young,
somebody wanted to beat you.
And then you saw your senior brother come.
No, what are you going to do?
So, your brother has become
your run to, your refuge.
God still is.
Finish it and go and sit down.
Finish it. Yeah, finish it.
No, finish it.
So, let's get it.
Alright.
Listen,
Sharded God is.
Did you come to church today?
Hey, Minya, Minya.
What is your response?
God!
The way the world is going,
you need something to protect you,
to be able to,
then you say,
My God is.
Now, he says,
God is our refuge.
I have to plan to teach a message to preach.
That one will not be a,
will be a preacher.
The title of the message will be God is.
So, look at all the things God is.
Hallelujah.
God is my refuge.
David says, I know who my refuge is.
There are some people, they take refuge in pastors.
When their pastor's phone is not going through, they are dead.
Prophet, I have this dream.
I have this dream.
I did this.
Prophet, my leg is paining me.
Prophet, this is a,
prophet, is a man your refuge.
Sharded, my God is.
My God is.
God is.
My refuge.
God is my refuge.
There are some things we cannot use.
We can't say God is our refuge because I don't know the refuge you have.
So, David says, I don't know about you, but I know about me.
As for me, God is my refuge.
God is my refuge.
He said, God is our refuge.
That's as I need to tell you, but I'll finish right now.
God is our refuge and strength.
They're raising white.
I said, what is a refuge? A place you run to.
Why do you run to the place?
Because you don't have strength.
So, it is your refuge.
You don't even need strength again. It's fine.
My God, I need time for this.
You came to me because you don't have strength, because a lot of things are chasing you, right?
Okay.
Now, you have come for safety. You've come for refuge.
I'm sending you out there.
But you are not coming like you came.
I am not giving you strength. I have become your strength.
You don't understand that.
The reason why everybody needs a refuge is that a refuge is a place where you go to hide yourself from the dangers that are chasing you.
So, you run there because you don't have strength.
But you see, the thing about God is that God doesn't want you to see him.
He doesn't want you to see him as a shrine.
Do you understand?
Because when you go to a Babala'u, they don't give you their strength.
They give you something so that anytime you'll be coming back.
Do you understand?
But God says, you know what? You came to me.
I am not giving you a strength that is lesser than me.
So, I become your strength.
If you are walking with God and God is your strength, who is a witch?
Do you know why you are afraid of witches?
Because you don't know that God is your strength.
He is your strength.
So, young man listening to me, young lady listening to me,
There is a real strength for life.
Are you understanding that?
We are closing. I am just left with the last one.
We are closing.
There is a real strength for life.
I am just left with the last one.
You are my strength.
Do you want me to explain this?
That's where I want to start.
A very, a very, Jesus.
So, it says a very.
See, we have the hack for life.
You don't need to scam anybody.
You don't need to go for black money.
Are you understanding me so much?
There is a God.
See, if I have time, I would have shown you something.
The Bible says it is God who left up the beggar from the donkey.
You are a coward to carry a gun, a knife and tell somebody bring your phone.
You know why? You can't live life.
You can't live life without a knife.
You would have taken the phone from the person, but you are still a coward.
If you are not a coward, come with your hands.
See, that is what it is.
That is what it is.
It is God who left me.
It is God who prospers me.
When God decides to prosper somebody, he will not come and ask what family you are coming from.
He will not come and ask your busiapenu whether he agrees or he doesn't agree.
He is our very present help.
Present help.
The past.
Oh yeah, yeah, pray, pray, move, waffle.
A very present.
So wherever you find yourself, help is available.
Can I talk to you?
Wherever you find yourself, help is available.
Give somebody a high five. Tell that person, help is available.
And mua o nya mimu.
Give some, just three people, three people.
Shout it, shout it, shout it, shout it.
Hallelujah.
Sit down.
Give me five minutes, I'm down.
We are supposed to close at 12.30.
Glory.
That's right, that's right, that's right.
Now those of you sitting down, maybe you are shy.
Who sits in the house and in the tabernacle of the Lord?
We are so, glory.
What kind of church is this?
Hallelujah.
Sit down.
Now, the last point.
I told you.
Hallelujah.
The last point.
You are not here.
Glory to God.
Hallelujah.
Sit down for a minute.
Because the last point, I don't think we need, the last point do not shout.
The last point is not something to shout about.
It's something to think and make a decision.
The last point, I don't need a microphone yet.
Why should we walk with God? Why should we go close, I mean walk close with God?
Why must we be close to God?
The last point.
I told you there are five.
I will add in.
I have chosen five.
And one is a devil.
You know Jesus said I have chosen twelve and one is a devil.
So there's not, I have chosen five and one is serious.
The last point is that the fifth reason, need to ask why we must be close to God.
Number five.
God is the great judge.
Hallelujah.
God is the great judge.
I don't have time to talk about it.
So I'll just touch that and then five minutes we'll be done.
Say I walk with God.
I like it when the Bible is using God.
Do you know why?
The Bible says who is he that said a thing that any coming to pass?
God was asking anybody questions.
Who is he that can say a thing for you to come to pass?
Hey.
I love God.
Yeah.
You see, in my former church you say, me persemi tim.
They say me persemi tim.
Me persemi tim.
I say persemi ee.
And then out.
Let's go to Revelation 20.
Let's close church.
Today has been a very wonderful day.
I told you church will be sweet on Sunday.
Am I not a prophet?
Revelation 20.
See, the reason why everybody has to walk with God.
This is the last point.
I'm done.
Because if I preach for long people will leave this church right now.
Is that God is the great church.
This is why a man, every human being must decide to believe in Jesus and to walk with God.
Hallelujah.
Revelation 20.
Let me read it.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone.
Where the beast and the false prophet are.
So the false prophet is actually somebody.
Relax.
And shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
This one too, we can't take it out from the word of God.
Whether we like it or not is there.
The Bible is saying that this Satan, that people are collecting things from, a day is going to come.
That Satan, he will be inside a place.
It's called the lake of fire.
How many of you have seen a lake before?
Okay.
A lake, Boso Mutsi.
So a lake is a pool of water.
But this one is not a lake of water.
This is a lake of fire.
Let's continue verse 11.
And I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away.
And there was no, and there was found no place for them.
There was no place of hiding.
A day is coming, nobody can hide.
Nobody can hide.
That's why we say this thing, we are putting fear in people.
Archbishop Nkowlian says something.
He said, I rather put fear in you into salvation than I'll pamper you into destruction.
And it is true.
Hallelujah.
Listen, the Bible says a day is coming when people, nobody will have a place to run to.
You, you, he says, listen, let me read that.
He says, and there was found no place for them.
They were, he said they fled, but they fled to no place.
Because the moment you flee to this place, you go and meet what is chasing you there.
You want to run back and come and see him there.
And that thing is called the great white throne and somebody is sitting on it.
Let's continue the reading, verse 12.
And I saw, listen, listen to this thing, very important.
Everybody, are you all listening?
And I saw the dead.
How many of us know people who are dead?
Good.
We all have, we know people who are dead.
Because even as we are sitting here, one way or the other, everybody, somebody has died before.
If your somebody has not died before, it will happen very soon.
It's happening everywhere.
Like somebody, somebody is dead.
My uncle has died.
My grandfather has died.
My father is dead.
My brother has died.
You know.
So for me like this, I have quite a number of people who have died around me.
Some of you have two.
Some of you have three.
Some of you have five.
Some of you two is like the whole family.
It's not anything, alright.
Everybody is dying.
It's fine.
But listen, then the Bible says that.
I saw the dead.
So all those who are dead, I saw them.
And small and great.
This is serious.
I saw the dead, small and great.
Presidents of states, ministers of states.
Do you understand?
Parliamentarians, assemblymen, DCs, MCs, town councils, community chiefs.
The chief that is here on Setikun.
At time will come, he will also appear there.
The elders will appear there.
Malams will be there.
Chief Imam will be there.
Queen Imam will be there.
Every human being, great and small.
Hallelujah.
There was this song.
I know some of you are too young.
You've never heard that song before.
It's a very powerful song.
Sing it.
It's a Christ on Bible song.
It's a very powerful song.
That's what it is.
Everybody will come and answer to God.
And like I said last week,
if you don't die to go and meet God, God will meet you.
If God has not come and meet you, you die to go and meet God.
I know some of you this message when I'm doing this.
Sorry, I can't say all of them.
But listen, it says the dead, small and great.
Then listen, stand before God.
There are times coming where everybody will stand before God.
This God, some people say they don't even believe he exists.
Time will come.
Their God, they think he doesn't exist.
They will see him and they are standing before him.
And they cannot run.
I said, I don't believe that.
So when finally you meet him, I don't believe you exist.
Then God said, OK, so go to where you believe.
And you go and you go and see him there.
So he says, they stood before God, aha, and their books were open.
And another book was open, which is the Book of Life.
And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the book.
See, whatever people are doing,
they are recorded in books.
Books in heaven is right there in Revelation.
If I had to add up, demystify all what all those things mean.
All right, but let me just give you two literal like that,
because this is not a teaching session.
So books, yes, tell them.
Books were opened.
Hallelujah.
And everything people have done are inside the book.
Everything.
As we are here, we are sharing the gospel.
Maybe you are here, you even just came to God.
You don't even know Jesus, you have no belief in him.
That's fine.
Every day is coming.
Your own group, you'll get to page 67, paragraph 12.
Your name will be there.
It's like a joke.
You see, I said last week that everybody think he has more time
until your eye finally closes.
And the doctor say, oh, we are sorry.
We tried our very best, but we couldn't get him back.
He's gone.
Then your father or your mother or your whoever who hold the doctor,
he say, doctor, do something.
Doctor, do something.
But you know, in Ecclesiastes, he says that everything has become silent
because what?
Man goes to his eternal home.
There's a time that the money you want, the money you are dreaming for,
the, how do they call it, these guys, how do they call it?
They call it blocks.
The block now, the block you are looking for.
A time is going to come.
The money will become useless.
So then, okay, that's fine.
So let me enjoy the blocks now so that when the time comes, relax.
That time I'm talking about, you can get out of this church right now
and Jesus will come.
He say, ah, please forget it.
You can go and die.
If you have not believed in Jesus, that's what I mean.
Hallelujah.
See, we live in this world as though we don't have a place we are going.
Especially young people of our generation.
Oh, piapeska.
Oh, the nyametuwa, not iska tova.
Oh, ifeska no ijanya koko.
Somebody, I saw a meme and then they say, oh, $3 million and God.
Then the guy say, oh, even God says that we are not worthy.
We are not worthy of him.
That means he will take the money.
But listen, we make jokes of this thing every day.
But Charlie, start thinking.
Start thinking.
Then he says, they were just out of those books, written in the books.
According to their words, everything they are doing,
Jesus has come to die for you.
Believe in Jesus so that all your sins will be forgiven.
You say you will not do it.
What will you do?
You will not do it.
Do you understand?
But, but, a time is going to come, all those things, all those things, you give accounts.
If you fail to believe in Jesus, you give accounts.
Nobody knows that a 20-year-old girl or boy can die.
Nobody knows that.
But right now, the old women are there and the old men, they are there.
You go to your house, they are all there.
They are chewing stick.
They don't have any teeth inside their mouth.
Yes, they are chewing stick and the young ones are dying.
See, the moment you close your eyes, there is no place for repentance.
And I don't know why people don't think about that, that human beings are just like anything.
If you don't know Jesus, you are just like anything.
You can die anytime.
If you don't know the Lord Jesus, you got this refugee you are talking about, you don't even have some.
You don't have help.
So you'll be there and say, oh, what is it?
They say leukemia.
They will just give you a very nice name.
Patromos.
They will just give you Patromos.
They say what happens?
Oh, he died out of Patromos.
The shaking of the heart and the intestine together.
Patromos.
They say, oh, it is Filibicus Colabati.
You know those people, their names are always scary.
But the time you go, it's just something here.
Yeah.
So they will give you high, high name.
Liver cirrhosis.
Blood cancer.
Heart failure.
They will give you all those things.
And you say, oh, wow, my son has died, but at least he died from a very sweet disease.
Because...
Your death is not even glorified.
But listen, no matter what you say, man, this white room, you stand before it.
A day is coming that you will meet your maker.
Somebody meet you.
Do you understand that?
I'm not talking specifically to anybody here who doesn't know Jesus.
Because I'll give you an opportunity.
If you don't have a fellowship relationship with the Lord, you will come here and come and accept Christ.
And you'll change your life.
Jesus will change your life.
Hallelujah.
Then listen, let's go to the next verse.
Let me close.
We are done.
I mean, I can't talk plenty.
And the seed gave up the dead which were in it.
Castro will come out.
That's what the Bible is telling you.
The Bible wrote this when Castro was not even born.
Yes, and maybe a person might have told Castro, but he didn't know.
Now he's inside the seed.
Some of you are asking, oh, now there's a fish.
Fish.
So you also come and then you choose how will it come?
The Bible says that it will come.
Don't you know, Ezekiel 37, the Bible says one bone was at the north, another one was at the east, some was at the southwesting north.
The Bible says they all came together.
So Castro will come out from the sea.
Me, I will not be in the sea.
If Jesus, I will not be in the sea.
So wherever I will be, I will come.
Because the Bible says those who are born again, our own is very glorious.
Our own is a glorious.
I'm telling you, those who are born again, our own is not scary like this.
So when somebody is born again, the Bible says when the trumpet sounds, if a Christian is dead, the Bible says that we will rise up with an incorruptible body.
My goodness.
We will rise with an incorruptible body to meet the Lord in the air.
My God.
Then the Bible says that let this thing comfort you, comfort one another with these things.
See, Paul says in some, first Corinthians chapter 15, he says if this thing, if this resurrection is not there, if this thing is not there,
then we are of all men, hopeless, miserable.
So if there's no resurrection, like would have been miserable, but what is the use that people are taking, people are taking beer, and people are enjoying, girls and stuff like that,
then this Sunday morning I am here wearing this white wine, I can't even breathe right now, I'm still talking to you and I'm sweating.
It's because there is a resurrection that is coming.
And I have chosen to be part.
When the Lord Jesus comes, I know I'm going to be there.
I'm telling you, so you don't know, how will you know?
Ah, you will know.
He gave you the Holy Spirit, you will know.
So if you are here, you don't know Jesus comes, you will go somewhere.
When I give opportunity, come here and then he will pray for you.
You will know.
Hallelujah.
Judgment will begin in the house of God.
Do you know why?
We have to be, God will sort out because in the church we have all kinds of people.
Right now we did evangelism the whole of this week.
A lot of people are here.
Some of you, I have never seen you before.
So everybody has come inside.
Do you understand?
So in the church we have all kinds of people.
We have those who come to church, ah, Charlie, this color, I will not leave this church until I sleep with this girl.
Somebody will say, hey, look at this boy, wow.
All kinds of things.
And so people too are seriously for God.
Do you understand what I'm talking about?
So God will sort it out.
He sorts it out by His Spirit.
If you don't have the Holy Ghost, the trumpet, you will not hear.
You will hear.
You will hear, then we are going.
What's happening?
We are going.
Did you see that?
Then let's continue.
The seed gave up the dead which were in it.
And death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them.
And they were judged every man according to their ways.
Every man was judged.
Hear this thing and go and think about it.
Nezvah.
Nezvah, I don't want to preach for long.
I don't want to preach for long.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
So even hell, you know, when people say you go to hell, hell is not the final place.
It's a hell itself will be put there, will be cast into the lake of fire.
Hell is just the preparatory ground for all those who don't believe in Jesus.
It is not God who is punishing them.
No.
The Bible says that God brought His Son into the world.
And instead of salvation, they rejected salvation and they said we don't want Jesus.
We don't want to be saved.
We are all healed.
Some people are passing, some are passing here, some are passing here, some are passing here.
They see that people are having church here.
It doesn't come inside their mind.
One time when we were doing praise, one guy was coming from this place.
He just stood there and he danced.
And you could see this guy, he was just dancing like, why if he's continuing.
All this is recorded.
If he doesn't believe in Jesus, he will pay for that dance.
You will pay for it.
You pay for it.
There are some things we joke with, they are not for joking.
You pay for it.
So that's what he's saying.
He said that and here we are cast into the lake of fire.
Some would say hell will be sweet.
We've got Bob Marley who will be there.
They say he will be there, we will enjoy.
You know what?
Don't worry.
Hell will be cast into the lake of fire.
So it means that even hell, the reggae will not be happening forever.
Let's continue.
Then he says, verse 15, he says, well,
and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
This is where you have to make a decision.
If you are here, you don't know Jesus.
Anybody whose name was not found in the book of life,
anybody whose name was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Do you know when you get born again, your name is not written in the book of life?
No.
No, no, no.
It's not like when you get born again, that's the time they write your name.
No.
The book of life is the book of predestination.
It is a book for all those who walk in the righteous cause of God.
Do you know why I'm saying that?
Because Moses told the Lord, if you will not lead us, take my name out of the book of life.
So the name was already inside it.
God was not about to write.
Do you understand?
So when God begins to check, so in the mind of God, everybody has to be saved.
Do you understand?
Everybody has to be saved.
So everybody's name is there.
The book of life, actually, when I have time and I'm teaching, I will teach you.
It's not like it's a graphic, it will be a shey shey.
No, it's not like that.
It's the finished works of Christ.
That is the book of life.
So when a man dies finally without accepting Jesus, you took your part out of salvation.
You took your part out of salvation.
So that is what it is.
So there are any, let me tell you, can I surprise you?
All sinners who are alive today, their name is in the book of life.
The book of life is the book for everybody Jesus came to die for.
So Jesus died for everybody.
But your time runs out the moment you close your eyes and you didn't believe in Jesus.
So that's why it says anybody whose name, put it back, and whosoever was not found.
So found, what does it mean to find?
So there will be a searching.
Adam, where are thou?
This is what is here.
It's not like God does not know.
You know some people ask that, God is all knowing.
So why would God come and say Adam, Adam, where are you?
If God knows all the while, why would God say Adam?
No, no, no.
It's not a question as to I don't know where you are.
I saved you.
Where are you in this book?
Do you understand?
So you've taken your part out.
Adam said, listen to what Adam said.
Adam said, I heard your voice and I was afraid because I was naked.
So I hid myself among the trees.
So what's not found talks about somebody who is hiding among the trees of the God.
And what does that mean?
The hiding place of man is supposed to be the presence of God.
And Adam said, who told you you are naked?
You think God didn't know?
Who told you?
This is not a language that you must say.
Who told you you are naked?
It is also called not found.
So this is not in you.
Where from this?
Not found.
The question people ask, so when children die, where do they go and stuff like that?
This thing answers it.
You, right now you are old, as I'm pretty sure you understand.
Whether you like it or not, you cannot say you are a child.
Because you are hearing me today.
You can't say, God, no, no.
But as for children, children is free exit.
As you are here, you have mustache.
And you're everywhere is hairy.
Make sure that you don't take your name out of the book of life.
How do you take your name out of the book of life?
By not believing in Jesus.
Finally die without believing in Jesus.
So I want to recommend Jesus for you.
If you are here and you know you don't have Jesus.
Mazza, Charlie.
Lady, lady, people can do some.
Because there are girls in churches, they are very beautiful.
If they go out and they want to be prostitutes, you don't even get market.
Yeah, you don't get market.
But when you look at what they are having and what they are holding.
And God has saved them.
If they go to the streets.
And kibbutz chisah.
Yes, hallelujah.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Why is she laughing like that?
Yeah.
Praise the name of the Lord.
It's serious.
So decide that Lord, this book, because right now all of you sitting there, your names are in the book of life.
That guy who sang that, is your name in the book of life?
That question is a nonsense question.
You ask people who are dead, you don't ask people who are living if their name is in the book of life.
No.
When finally you die without Christ, then your name is taken out.
It's like finally, finally.
You know how, let me give you an example.
When you enter into a school, they register you.
So your name is there, this thing.
Finally when you die and you don't finish, then they will count.
Then they will mention your name three times.
In Kulunu Ajakpata, Sam Sin Kumsing.
Then they will say, I have sinned.
They will mention the name about five times or three times.
When they finally say that, then you know what is happening.
Then they will cancel your name and the people will start crying.
That's what happens.
Your name is always in the book as long as you are moving about.
Oh, even when you went to the shrine, your name is inside.
It's inside.
That when you are fornicating, it's inside.
You are smoking weed, it's inside.
Yes.
But finally, that day you said you are going to Kumsing and you'll be back.
And your driver was going 120.
Without the Holy Ghost.
And then he met an articulator.
And they collided.
And you did not even say Ajay.
By the time your eyes open, when this will take, then that is there,
we'll be doing that service for you.
Then your name will just get out.
Because he is the God of the living, not the God of the dead.
So then when you die, we are done.
Then God says, alright.
So finally, that's why I said the dead will rise.
So everybody will rise up.
We'll all come.
Those who are dead will arise.
So we are all here.
Then, inside the book, they will mention your name.
Maybe Samo Kwa Misasu.
They say, oh, find Samo Kwa Misasu.
So I know.
You know that thing.
The book of life.
I say it's what?
The finished works of Christ.
And what is the finished works of Christ?
The Holy Ghost.
Yes.
Yes, I'll explain that to you.
The book of life actually is the Holy Ghost.
You'll know later.
Because we are sealed.
What that preachers is, we are sealed with the Spirit of God.
We are sealed with the Holy Ghost.
What makes us Christians?
It's not that you came to church on Sunday.
It's that the Spirit of God is inside you.
That's why when you read Ephesians 1.13,
the Bible says he has sealed us with the Spirit.
So when God comes, it's not going to be a struggle.
Like, hey, come here.
Oh, etziel for Munyadi.
Oh, Michael.
Koshoomo.
Now God will be sweating.
Uh-huh.
Gaana for the Munchra.
Munchra Chehano.
Uh-huh.
All the Nigerian people stand here.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
May I please have your...
You know how politicians talk?
African politicians are me.
If Obama is coming to talk, he just kind of...
Good morning, Americans.
It's been a wonderful year.
I want to talk.
Then everyone is quiet.
And when he finished talking, when he finished every point,
you see them clapping, and you'll not be talking.
Then you just be quiet.
And then you just...if it's my boss, if it's Trump, he can't...
What will be happening with you if you're not in the head?
What is that?
Then he talks.
You listen.
By Africa.
He'll...
Honorable ministers.
Eh-yeh-zoo.
Kukulu.
No, that's not how it's going to be over.
Those who have the Spirit of God, they are saved.
And how do you get the Spirit of God?
By believing in Jesus.
So as we are bringing this message to a close, know that God is the great judge.
That's why you have to work with him.
How do you work with him?
Believe in him.
Believe in him so that your name will be secured in the book of life.
Your name will be secured in the finished works of Christ.
Your name will be secured in what Jesus came to do for you.
He came to die for you because he loved you.
So much.
So this is the time to believe.
Because if you don't believe, God will have no choice because you have decided, man is
a free moral agent.
You have decided, I don't want Jesus.
And that becomes the unpardonable sin.
I pray for you in the name of Jesus.
If you are here, you don't know Jesus Christ.
You will come forward and we'll pray with you.
You feel like you are not walking close to God enough.
You are not close to God.
This is the time for you.
Child, give me keys.
This is the time for you to come and accept Jesus before we close.
Hallelujah.
Let's be outstanding.
Hallelujah.
I want to throw an invite to all of us here.
If you are here and you don't know the Lord Jesus, I want to give you an opportunity.
It's not like you have to be a child.
This thing is a personal decision.
That's why we say make a personal decision.
It's not about your friend who is here or what.
You know you want to walk with Jesus.
You want to be close with Jesus.
You want to be close with the Lord.
Whether you are a man or you are a woman, a child or a boy or a girl, this is a time
for you to come forward.
Let's close our eyes.
You sing something.
Sing something.
I give myself away.
So walk up here.
Walk up here.
Give myself away.
Walk up here.
You want to have a relationship with Jesus.
Walk up here.
Give myself away.
Come on.
Walk up here.
If you know you don't have a relationship with Jesus, I want to pray for you.
I want to pray for you.
Be that bold.
There's nothing funny about this.
It's a serious thing.
You want to have a relationship with Jesus.
Come and let me pray with you.
Hold on.
Let them finish.
Hold on.
Come.
Don't be shy.
I have decided to follow Jesus.
No turning back.
If you are here and you know that you want to be part, come.
It's a personal decision.
All right?
It's a personal decision.
So walk up with all boldness, chest out.
It is not that you are stealing.
No.
You are coming to receive of Jesus.
And I would love for you to be part.
Come with all boldness.
Don't watch your friend.
Walk.
Come and let me pray with you.
Remember, he's not refugie, not just our help, he's also the great judge.
He's also the great judge come here, let me pray with you.
Come and let me pray with you.
Come, let me pray with you.
Come and let me pray with you.
Jesus. Let me pray with you
shortly. Come. It's just a
short prayer. Come here. Let me
pray with you. You just have
like 1 minute more. Make that
decision and come here. Walk
boldly and come here. I want to
pray with you. I want to pray
with you. I have decided. to

for you.

I have decided

No turning back. We give you
lots of opportunity. It's a
personal decision you have to
make. The last of course. You
won't come here. If you feel
who will sell, who will sell,
come and let me pray with you.
See, don't forget about the
things in your life you want to
stop and all of that. If you
don't know what you're doing,
first get a relationship with
Jesus and then the Lord will
pick it up from there.
Hallelujah. Alright. Um our
brothers and sisters here. I
want to pray with you.
Now, I want you to mean it.
Hallelujah.
This is the greatest decision
you can ever make. Hallelujah.
I've been
in the room. Hallelujah. For
you.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Amen.
Hallelujah.
Fire.
My heart is.
I haven't.
