Sing me a song.
Yeeeeeeeeeeah
The unwaited mid-fire burns
My heart is captured to lurk
I have in me the burning fire
Oh, a sound of quakes
I have in me the burning fire
Praise the Lord
Let's open our bibles quickly
And let's go to 1 Samuel
Chapter number 12, 24
Alright, one, two, go
For if ye fear the Lord, accept me into your heart, or consider how great things have come for you
Hallelujah
From the BBE, can you put a BBE in there?
He says, only go in the fear of the Lord and be his true servants
With all your heart, keep in mind what great things he has done for you
I'm just talking to you about serving the Lord, hallelujah
So on Sunday, we read from Revelation, the book of Revelation in Charter 1
You know what? Good, where the Bible tells us that God has made all things, or God created all things, for his pleasure
And so everything that God made in its original state is supposed to meet the pleasure demand of God
In other words, God wants to see what he has done and be proud of himself
Hallelujah, glory to God
So, God has to see me and rejoice
God has to rejoice, alright, he made me so that when he sees me, he will rejoice
I was made to bring joy to the Father
Do you understand that? I was made to bring joy to God
I was made to bring joy to God, I was made to bring joy to the Father
I was made to bring joy to the Father
And that is very important, hallelujah
I'm not a child of disgrace, I'm not a shameful creature
No, you know the Bible says, and God made all things and everything that the Lord has made, had made was good
God does not make things and the things that he makes has deformities
Everything that God made is good
So I am good, praise the name of the Lord
There's nothing wrong with me, because I was created by God, hallelujah
So the Bible says that we ought to fear the Lord
I mean, this actually was talking Samuel when the children of Israel had given themselves that pressure to get a king and what have you
And Samuel said to the people, verse 23, he says, as for me, never will I go against the orders of the Lord by giving up my prayers for you
But I'll go on teaching you the good and the right way, so I'll keep on teaching you the word of God
But this is your responsibility, your responsibility is that fear the Lord and serve him
For consider, then he says that, keeping in mind what great things he has done for you
Now, so I said something on Sunday, that it is people who don't have any remembrance of God, that don't serve God
It is people who are not able to know what God has done for them, that don't serve God
Because if you know what God has done for you, you will serve the Lord
So the man of God says, serve God by considering the great things he has done for you
Do you know that right now as we are here, I can give all of you blank papers
Very blank papers, very blank, white papers, nothing on it, nothing written on it
And then I'll give you a pen and I'll tell you, list all the things God has done for you
You will be sure that somebody will struggle to write something
Somebody will be, somebody will struggle, the person will not be able to know what God has done for him
Or her, hallelujah
Because you see, most of us are stuck with things that are not working in our lives
That we have given our minds all to their hardships, all to their lack of money, all to their lack of whatever
And that has become our lives
There are people who are not, somebody can say, I have never been genuinely happy
That people like that, see when they recount, when they go back to the inception of their life
The only testimony they have of themselves is that I have never been truly happy
I say, are you sure I have never been truly happy
See, when they, right now if I tell you right now, begin to think for the past 10 years
Somebody will come up and say, I have never been happy
It has been one problem from one problem to the other, from one trouble to the other and stuff like that
When your life is like that, you can't save God
When you always look at the negatives in your life, you can't save God
You have to be able to see the doings of the Lord in your life, to be able to joyfully serve the Lord
Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord
Come on, are we here together, are we together in this place? Yeah
You have to set your mind, that's what the man of God is saying
He says that keeping in mind, keeping in mind, what does that mean?
Hold it in your memory, hold it in your memory
The way to passionately serve God is to hold the good things the Lord has done for you in your memory
A lot of people have short memories
Ah, the Lord, thank God, oh blessed God, hallelujah
And then the next two months they will come and say, I have never been truly happy
I have never been truly happy
When I look at my life, I have really, I have never been truly happy
That is to say that God has not done anything in my life
God has never done anything in my life
Hallelujah
I remember when my mother was giving, my mother told me after he gave it to me
After he gave it to me, he nearly had miscarriage and he had to go and abort me
And I did not abort, and you know, and all their lives that's how it is
But I don't know about you, for me God has been good to me
I say God has been good to me
You see, these are not things that you say because I say
You have to say it with a little bit of consciousness
God has been good to me
So the, the prophet is telling the people, if somebody ever met you
Why are you serving God like, why, like, why are you serving God like that?
You say you don't know, you may not know my story, God has been very good to me
God has been good to me
And my way of service is to show him appreciation
It's just to say thank you Father for all the good things that you've done in my life
Hallelujah
There are people when they go to God, their praises and their worship is just three minutes
Father I thank you Father, I thank you that yesterday you protected me and I bless you
Father, my father, my father, as I lift up my hand today, I slay, I kill, hallelujah
I watch, I watch, I watch the movies of time ago
And the lady was praying, every prayer was prayer of warfare
They step in the neighborhood
Say Father, chase the chasers, oh pray, oh pray, oh pray, oh pray, oh pray the oppressors
Oh pray, oh pray, oh pray, oh pray the oppressors, chase, chase, chase the chasers
Kill, kill, kill, kill the killers, right now oh Father
That was all that the prayer was about
God has been good
God has been good, hallelujah
Come on, God has been good
God has been good
And you see if you don't have anything to thank God for, he saved you
He saved you
He gave you his spirit
God has been good
Apart from all the physical things he does for us, he has been good
He sent his son to die for us
Praise the name of the Lord
That he has a song, he says, give me way, give me way for the praise that I have
For the Lord has been good
And his message, for the Lord is good and his message is yours
Then there's a line, he says, God has been good in his son Jesus
Give me way for the praise I have, hallelujah
So if you are making up your mind to serve God
To serve the Lord
If you're making up your mind to serve the Lord
You have to keep in mind
What great things he has done for you
If your motivation for serving the Lord is what God can do for you, you are wrong
Your motivation for serving the Lord should be what things he has already done
Not what he is going to do, but the great things
When I look back, I have seen a faithful God
When I look back, I have seen an awesome father
When I look back, I have seen a great, great, marvelous father
And this is why I am going to serve the Lord, hallelujah
You know, let me read something to you, let's go to the book of Romans
Let's go to the book of Romans, let's go to the book of Romans after number one
Let's read from 21
Let's begin from 18 actually
From verse 18
No, in James
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness
Next verse
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has showed it unto them
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power in Godhead, so that they are without excuse
Because that when they knew God, because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations and their foot was darkened
Let's continue, we'll come back to the 21
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man and to bathe in four-footed beasts and creeping things
Wherefore, God also gave them up to uncleanness through the last of their own heart to dishonor their own bodies between themselves
Now let's go to the verse 21
So the Bible is talking about a category, a group of people who knew God, who saw the power of God, people that the Bible says even the Godhead was showed to them
Amazing encounters with the Lord, awesome experiences with God, powerful manifestations of God, they saw it, they sensed it, they experienced it
But then the Bible says these people when they knew God, they did not glorify him
So it is possible to know God and not glorify him
Hallelujah! Isn't that what we have today in many of the churches around? People go to church, they just go to church like that
There's nothing there for them, they don't glorify the Lord
They sing because we are singing, they don't sing with their hearts, hallelujah!
They pray because we are praying, they don't pray with their hearts
I mean they have to come because they say we should come, they don't come with their hearts
So the Bible says, we have an example, people who knew God, and the Bible says when they knew God, they did not glorify God
The word is they didn't honor the Lord, hallelujah!
They did not hold God in high esteem, that's what it means to glorify the Lord
God was not anointed in them
Like they treated God as one of the options, are we together in this place?
Come on, are we together in this place? They treated God as just one of the options
So the Bible says they did not glorify him
And neither were they thankful
They didn't thank the Lord
Now, then the Bible says they became vain in their imaginations
What is it talking about?
When you are not glorifying God and you are unthankful to the Lord, you will become vain in your thinking
I'm still explaining when the man of God said, keep in mind all the great things that God has done for you
Because if you keep in mind what great things God has done for you, you will not become vain in your thinking
Hallelujah! Say God has done me well
Come on, say God has done me well
So since they became vain in their imagination, it means that what vain means to become empty or foolish
They began imagining foolish things
Think about it, whenever your mind is going on a walking spree
When you are thinking about what somebody has done
When you are thinking about how your life is not going well
When you are thinking and you are getting angry and stuff like that
That is called the vain imagination
You are having vain imaginations, you are having foolish thinking
Hallelujah!
And that is able to happen when you are not glorifying or thanking God
So here the apostle is saying, when you see people who are thinking nonsense
When you see people who are complaining, when you see people who are just imagining rubbish
Those people, it's a clear indication that they have not been thanking God
It's a clear indication that they have not been glorifying God
And you see, you would have to have in your mind the great things God has done for you to be able to glorify God
You would have to have in your mind the wonderful things God has done for you to be able to glorify God
Think for example, somebody just finished church service and then maybe somebody goes to post on his status
The person came to church, we had worship in the church, we had prayer in the church
Word of God came in the church, the brethren met, everything was powerful
Then he goes and what is in their mind, because on his way going, he met or somebody made a statement
So he has forgotten all the beautiful experiences he had in church to just respond to that negative
When that happens, you are becoming like these people, you are becoming foolish
Do you understand that? You are becoming foolish
You are becoming foolish, so there are people, they don't retain God in their mind, so they can't serve God
They don't retain God in their mind
When they come to church, they are happy, oh church service is awesome, we pray, we dance, we shout, we do the word and everything
The moment they step out of the church, it's like they didn't even come to church
They are not able to keep God in their mind and what does that mean?
They are not able to glorify God and they are not thankful
Do you know right now, we can have it, I can change the service right now and almost everybody will fall down under the anointing
It is not like it's anointing me that has come, no
I will just have to walk you through a couple of things that will stare your mind into something that you will not be able to stand on your feet
So it means that this mind, for you to stay full of God, for you to stay afloat, for you to enjoy God, it's not strange
It's just staying your mind on God and blessing him and thanking him
See, we can say right now, begin to thank God, the first thing that you do is
People have been deceived by tongues
And you see, their mind is not in their thing, they feel like they know how to pray in tongues, so they just have to pray in tongues to at least, I mean, while away time
But if I tell you to begin to thank God, glorify God, and you begin to take your time and walk through all the blessings of God in your life, I'm telling you
You will be able to see God in your life, you will be able to see God in your life
And you begin to take your time and walk through all the blessings of God in your life, I'm telling you
I'm telling you
You will forget about your sorrows, you will forget about who has hurt you, you will forget about your anger, you will forget about whatever
And you will be so much in love with God
Praise the name of the Lord
I said praise the name of the Lord
Very important, so the Bible says they did not glorify God
Neither were thankful to him
But instead they became vain in their imagination and their foolish heart was darkened
So the way to darken your heart is to be unthankful
And thankful, the way to darken your heart is to seize glorifying God
Hallelujah
Come on, are we together in this place?
Yes
That's the way to darken your heart
What does it mean to darken your heart?
To darken your heart, the Bible talks about, the Bible talks about
St. Corinthians 4, 4, let's go there and look at something
What it means to darken your heart?
We'll come back here
In whom the God of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ
Who is the image of God should shine on to them
So when the heart is darkened, people cannot accept what God has done
When the heart is darkened, people cannot receive the gospel
When the heart is darkened, people cannot make sense of what God has done
So it says there are people that the God of this world has blinded their eyes
And because their eyes have been blinded by the God of this world
They are not able to receive what God has done in Christ which is called the gospel
When you as a child of God, your heart is darkened
You have received the gospel already, I mean you're going to go to heaven
But if your heart is darkened, anything of God will no more make sense to you
Think about the Christian who instead of going to church will say that
Oh, all my things are dirty so I'll be washing them on Sunday
It is a proof of a darkened heart
Are we together in this place?
It's a proof that the heart is darkened
And how did the heart become darkened?
The person was unthankful and the person did not glorify God
See, if you are ready to serve God, if you want to walk with God, if you are ready to serve God
These two things must be very strong in your life
Glorifying God, honoring God and thanking God
Bless God for everything he has done for your life
Hallelujah! Come on!
Be thankful, tell somebody to be thankful
Be thankful
And don't justify that in the name of Jesus, I want to thank you, thank you for life oh God
Thank you for the food I eat oh God
And thank you for everything that you have done for me
Thank you for everything that you have done for me oh shalabalabalabal
You have to most often than not
If you are thanking him for the things, the permanent things he has done in your life also
Thank you for salvation, thank you
And you are not just mentioning them
Do you understand? You are following
You are blessing him indeed
And do you know how to sometimes tease the devil?
Oh father, I don't have a job yet
But father I thank you for salvation
You are like this guy
Father I know that I am not where I want to be now
But Lord you have been faithful
I bless you God
Thank you for the wonders you have done in my life
Don't get stuck with wrong things in your life
Hallelujah!
Don't get stuck with wrong things in your life
Be stuck with the doings of the Lord
You have done me good
You have done me well
You have made me glad
Hallelujah!
Yeah!
And that in doing so, always your heart will rejoice
And always you will be excited to be around the people of God
Don't be thinking about when I was 16 years I was sick
When I was 3 years I was sick
No!
I am here now
Hallelujah!
I am the workmanship of God
Created in Christ unto good works
That's who I am now
Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life
That is who I am now
Praise the name of the Lord
Now so he says they were not that they became vain in their image
And their foolish heart was back in 22
Professing themselves to be wise they became fools
You see it always looks like people who don't like going to church
And people who have issues in church
It always looks like to them they are always the sensible
No you don't see that
Yeah
Always check people who have stopped going to a particular church
They always have the reasons why they couldn't stay
And always they tell you about how everybody is bad and they only are good
That's what, the Bible says they profess they say they are wise
But they are actually fools
You see everything is in the Bible
They'll be like the church right now there is no love in the church
As if they are preaching love
If you don't go to church nobody will even check up on you
But if you are to ask them why you were in the church and people were not coming to church
Were you checking up on them?
You'll find them they weren't
But suddenly they've seen how important it is to be checking up on people who don't come to church
The Bible says professing to be wise they became fools
I don't understand I mean in the church these days if you need help nobody helps you
But you see even then sometimes they will tell you even if we don't I know that we don't have money
Even if we don't have money at least they must show care it's like they always know how things should be done
The Bible says it's foolishness
Praise the name of the Lord
Don't ever come to a point where you think everybody is wrong you alone is right
The Bible says that is foolishness
See the Bible says don't be wise in your own eyes
Do not be wise in your own eyes
And the Bible says that particular symptom is when people are not glorifying God and it starts by not glorifying God and being unthankful
And then your mind will begin to wonder about
See when you are not thanking God when you are not glorifying God you give your mind the chance to feed on the negatives
Some of the negatives people talk about in churches
They had always been there but when they were in the spirit they never saw it
It didn't even mean anything to them but the moment they became unthankful and they did not glorify God everything became ah
See the way this person looked at me he did not even greet me he saw me and he passed
But at first if a sister saw you and passed you like ah didn't you see me oh sorry sorry alright alright
And it does not it's not any issue but suddenly that same thing becomes an issue you can't even breathe
No no no no you have a problem
You have a problem and that stops you from serving God
Look at it anytime people fall from fevency anytime people fall from actively serving the Lord it does not begin with sin
It does not begin with sin it begins with their mind it begins with their mind
And then most often than not offenses will set in
Even if they sinned it is not a sin that will make them like that when they sin they are hard to smote them
They are hard to smite them they will begin to oh I didn't do well alright let me stay home for a while let me just work on myself a bit
And when they begin to stay home to work work on themselves a bit
Then somebody didn't call them then that become an issue when I step when I even I mean go to the house nobody called me
Nobody checked up on me now the issue is no more the same the issue right now is about what people are not doing
I'm just waiting for the man of God to call me the man of God never called me he did not call me
But if it's on people in the church the man of God have driven his car to go there
Then they will begin to say this this days and times pastors the church will just they just take the money of the church
They buy houses and all of that and I'm not even ready to go to church again
I don't even go to church
No it's not like you are wise you are not wise your problem began long time ago
But I didn't know your problem began when you did not honor the Lord when you were untangible
You cannot be talking negative about your pastor that you always tangled for it's not possible
You cannot be say father I thank you thank you for giving me the best pastor thank you for giving a pastor who is leading me
Oh, thank you for and then later you know it doesn't work like that
It is when you stop being in awe or being thankful to God for the past that he has given you that your mouth will have space
to say rubbish about him
In the same way if there's a brother in the church if you are blessing God for the brothers you have in church for the sisters
You want to bless God for the for the for the unity in the church
You want to bless God for the awesomeness of the Prince of God in the church and you want to bless God for all of that
You will not have time to begrudge anybody because you see you are always thankful for God for them
See somebody somebody called me one time and the person was telling me and do you know this person in the church
I said I don't know him and so no it was a hair I don't know head then kept on telling me
That's a what about him the person started talking I didn't do he I said no I didn't hear
And truly I had no head in it I said no no I didn't hear
So you know what are you doing in the church I said because I don't listen to those things
You see your ear the things you like hearing is what is going to gravitate towards you
I like to hear good things about people I don't like to hear bad things about people
I like to hear that somebody is doing mighty things in the kingdom I like to hear that somebody has a testimony
I like to hear and know people who are working with the Lord and God is doing mighty things in their lives
I don't stay around negative you will not find me around negative people no if I find out you were a negative person
I try to help you if you are not helpable I will not be around you I don't stay around toxic people
Always my energy is high yeah always my energy is high I want to bless God I want to shout
I want to catch something I want to make noise I want to just be there and then think about the mighty things God is doing
I want to hear of the mighty things God is doing around the world I want to hear the men of God are healing people
I want to hear the big crusades I want to hear the masses of people that are being saved
I want to hear the churches that are being established I want to hear the testimonies that are going around in the ministry
I want to hear and I want to see that I don't want to hear and then somebody did this and then somebody that no no no no no no
Because I don't want my heart to be darkened Hallelujah it begins like it's a seed you will not be able to serve God
You cannot be having issues in the church and say I'm going to join the choir
No no no no
There's no way people who walk in offenses always check them
They can be serving God faithful the moment they have offenses whatever they are doing they don't do it again
If they are counting offering they will leave it they will not come
If they are singing they will not join the choir
They can come and the choir is singing and the choir is about to sing and the choir will go and they are sitting there now
Because they are not in the mood
When you are serving God the Bible says keep in mind the great things God has done for you
Because that will not make you stop
If somebody says and then you are hurt they will say are you still going to sing? Yeah yeah I'm going to sing because God has done great things for me
God has done great things for me and the good things God has done for me means a lot to me what a man can do against me
Hallelujah
He says the Lord is my light so I will not fear what man can do unto me
God is my joy God is my strength God is my ability it's not about me
See don't live your life around the negative things people do you will die
I keep telling you that you will die
Even this is what I'm saying after church if somebody does something to you you will still go and you will be angry
Don't darken your heart praise the name of the Lord
Don't darken your heart don't allow your imaginations to be running around
You are thinking some of them how many of you are there nobody has beaten you nothing you are not angry nothing
But you started thinking about some things by the time you are there you started crying
Just there on your bed you know you are just
I don't know
Then why don't you know I don't know
I don't know
I don't know.
When I love people, they pay me back with evil.
The person, you are just alone.
How many of you have been there before?
You start crying and later maybe something will tell you.
So right now, why are you crying?
All of you, some of you have been there before.
What like, what is this?
What a life.
Some of you are too emotional.
You crave for attention.
You crave for pampering.
Some people can just create a mess so that they can receive attention.
That's called, that's called, that's called, it's called gaslighting.
Gaslighting.
Narcissism.
Like you are a narcissist.
When you try to play the victim in order to get attention.
There are people who say, I'm going to kill myself.
Then everybody will now, everybody will begin to call.
They enjoy the calling and they enjoy the talking and they enjoy the,
you know why, you don't know what is happening.
I'm praying with you.
And then they are happy.
And then they are happy. That is gaslighting.
Trying to, trying to outsmart people by playing the victim.
To get attention.
Hey brother, one day you will die.
Gaslighting.
You know like a man and a woman, they are there in the house and then
they are there in the house and then they are there in the house.
And then the woman is at fault.
Then the woman begins to say, I don't even know, I don't know.
I remember three years ago, three years ago, you said some hurtful things to me.
Even though I didn't apologize.
But the time you realize the conversation you are talking about,
it has changed.
Right now you are the man right now thinks, ah, I'm at fault.
Then you say baby, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
And they are happy.
They are happy.
Happy.
Three years ago, that's gaslighting.
You know, craving for attention by all means.
Some people enjoy it.
They, they enjoy it.
They enjoy it when, when they are, when they are, when they are,
when they are drilling people.
When they are taking them through all the pains to get their attention.
For example, like it's raining, then you can call that, I want ice cream.
It's raining all.
Please, if you don't mind me the ice cream, don't talk to me.
I'm craving it so bad.
Then the person will walk through the rain.
And he'll bring the ice cream.
When he sees or when she sees the person wet,
then she's like, oh, you did all this for me.
That is gaslighting.
Praise the name of the Lord.
See, if you are like that, you can't serve God because in the house of God, you can't do that here.
We are building a great church here.
We are not building gaslighters here.
Hallelujah.
Yeah, yeah.
We're not building gaslighters here.
Me, you can't gaslight me.
No, no, no, no.
If I talk to you one, two, three, I'll see that you are craving that.
I'll not mind you again.
If you like, die.
Nothing like that.
I don't give a hoot.
I'll not mind you.
Today, your son called me.
Hello, daddy. Hello, daddy.
I said, yes, please, I am going to school today.
I saw that the Lord be with you.
You came home.
I'm staying with you.
I didn't even know where you are staying.
You came and you are going.
You are calling me so I'll send you money.
You got a problem, baby.
I said the Lord be with you.
He was just on that.
I hung up.
He can't call.
I'll say, don't call me again.
I'm not raising morals.
Just I'm talking about.
I'm not raising.
No, no, I'm not raising morals.
All to me.
You and me.
No, no, no, no, no.
You are about you are about eighteen.
You should have some sense.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, some people like that.
I didn't know why.
And then you obey.
And the person will still come to you and laugh, smile.
And expect you to just do.
No, no, it's not like that.
You are a gaslighter.
You are a narcissist.
Or you are having a narcissist.
Character.
And such people can't save God.
Because you see, you cannot be sincere and still gaslight people.
No, no, no, sincerity.
You say that thing as it is.
Do you get it?
And we use that to save God.
Come on.
Are we together?
Say I saved the Lord.
Come on, say I saved the Lord.
Yeah.
I mean, you're talking to somebody or telling the person, listen, it's very normal.
You will be hit.
You'll be hit.
The pastor can hit you.
Everybody can hit you.
Because all of us, as we are here, we are perfect in the perfection of Christ.
I will hit you, whether you like it or not.
I will say something you may not like.
I will tell you to do something you may not like.
I will bash you sometimes in a wrong way.
Later I'll find out that, oh, wow, it's not really like that.
Even if I tell you, I'm sorry, I'll bash you.
You just have to be ready for everything.
Don't be ready for the sweet things alone.
And I don't know, man of God has never told me I love you before.
Or, oh, I don't know, man of God has not, he's never given me money before.
I don't know, man of God has never let me sit in his car before.
Is this the car you want to sit in?
And that is a problem.
That should not be a problem.
You have allowed your mind to be unthankful and ungrateful.
You see, let me find this scripture for you.
Ecclesiastes 10.18.
Alright, are we there?
Alright, let's read it. One, two, go.
Through much what? Somebody said idleness. Whose version is that?
Alright, so read it.
Because of laziness, the house leaks.
Because of laziness, the roof caves in.
And because of negligent hands, the house leaks.
So whenever your mind, whenever there is laziness, you know what laziness is?
It's nothing is to be done. Whatever will happen, will happen.
When your mind is actually in that state, he says that the building caves in.
The building caves in. It means the whole thing collapses.
Your life will collapse when you don't put your mind to work.
Do you understand that?
When we are all here, we are blessing God, your mind is wandering about.
You're hearing a car sound. You're thinking about something.
Your life will cave in.
Your life will cave in. If you don't take charge of your thoughts, your life will cave in.
See, you can decide to be hurt or not.
It's you decide.
Can I say that again?
Come on, are we all here together?
Are we together in this place?
You sure we are together in this place?
Say we are building a great church.
Yes, so you can decide to be hurt or not.
It's a choice.
Somebody has done something. I'm angry.
How did you get there?
You decided to let what the person say affect you.
Imagine if you were a mad person. Someone would be insulting you and you'd be laughing.
Just think about it.
Yeah, you just be...
Nothing is funny but you are laughing.
There are people, they are always...
Nothing is going on in their mind.
It's like a land.
When it is not in your mind, you are not going to be able to see it.
When it is not tailed, when it is not worked on, all kinds of weeds will grow on it.
So you have to get to a point and say, no, I serve the Lord.
This thing not here. This thing... No, no, no, not this time. Not this time.
Not this time.
No, no, no, not this time.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you are not permitted in my head.
What you think about what the guy said?
Such nurses, such nurses, a whole you, a whole you.
You don't even have a bicycle. Your mind is already telling you a whole you.
Who are you?
A whole you. No, no, no, no, no.
Then you are just...
How many of you, somebody said something here, it didn't affect you.
Later when you went home and you thought about it, they say, ah, ah, ah.
Or sometimes somebody even told you something. It was not a problem.
Then something happens.
Then another gossip comes and then you begin to connect. They don't say, ah, that is why the last time he said that to me.
When I see him.
So it's because your mind was not there or your mind did not give much attention to it.
That's why you weren't hurt.
But right now your mind is on it.
That's what the Bible is saying. If your mind is on what God has done for you,
the result is that you become grateful, you become thankful.
You will not be vain in your thinking. You will not be vain in your imagination.
You will not be empty in your imagination.
You will be full of joy. You will be full of the spirit.
You will be full of excitement to work for God, to do mighty things for God.
And that is what your mind is always going to be about.
Think about it.
I remember one time I was with a group of people. All of them feel there was one is still serving God.
As if nothing has happened.
Sheko Barate Labari.
And as I said, another person is dying.
I remember when I was informed to, I heard of something in the news.
I used to preach with it a lot.
There's a lady, one of the candidates who wanted to do meds.
And for meds I think you need to get seven straight A's or eight A's.
And the person got all the A's and one B.
And the person was seen with a suicide note on the way to go and die.
And I knew people who had F9, 9.
They had aggregated 81.
And they were already on machine field.
Winning souls.
Then I said, I will never be bothered by any certificate in this world. No.
I won't.
So that's the same thing that will make people cry.
I remember when our results came, I was on the machine field and I was getting calls.
That what the results are in.
You know that kind, if you have finished once, if you have finished as you, the pressure.
I told them, no, I'm on the machine field, I'm winning souls.
So you can buy the checker and check.
They say, our bag, we didn't do well.
I said, please, I'm winning souls, leave me alone.
I didn't mind anybody.
I came home two weeks later, I was still, I had not checked.
It wasn't because I was afraid.
So when they come, I'm like, why are you giving this, this, this, this, why are you giving it so much relevance like that?
You know, when I want to check, when I decided I want to go to school, then I went.
They had already come inside the school.
People had gone to collect theirs.
And when I had gone to buy forms and what have you, and then I had to add that to be able to.
I just went, I want to check it and then I play.
Then I place it inside.
I took it to the school.
Get close.
What is this?
Somebody is crying.
Is this here?
Because what is making somebody cry?
Somebody is composed.
Somebody has a past and that they, they, they, they shoot the person's cannibals.
I'm done with the university.
That's all matters.
All is here.
And seeing the possibilities of the future.
See that no matter what is happening, hey, my life is a glorious one.
I have, I serve a God.
Even if I'm at the back, he can tell everybody, tell everybody this is the front.
I don't have a problem.
Things that kill people don't kill me.
Things that pressure people don't pressure me.
Where is the name of the Lord?
Ask yourself, those of you who took, who took, how do you call, you took leave of ministry.
And you were not coming to church or you didn't feel like going to church or church was not liking you, you didn't like it, and all that.
Ask yourself.
Just ask yourself that if you had really maintained this thing I'm teaching you tonight, you think would have happened.
It would not have happened.
Personally, I've also had a lot of many various reasons, a lot of many various reasons not to come and preach to you.
But you still have to come anyways.
Praise the name of the Lord.
If you're going to serve the Lord, the law is in 1 Samuel chapter 12 verse 24.
Keeping in mind the great things God has done.
He didn't say keep in mind the wrong things people have done.
He didn't say keep in mind what you are going through.
He didn't say keep in mind what you are thinking.
He didn't say keep in mind the work that is not going on.
He didn't say keep in mind when you fail your exams.
I said the only thing if you want to serve God, the only thing you are supposed to keep in mind is the great things God has done for you.
I don't know, work is no more coming. I'm not getting work.
You are not getting work.
Somebody does not even know what to do.
You know what to do and work is not coming.
Somebody does not even know what to do.
Do you understand that?
You are not the one who is in the worst sense of situations.
There are many people who are the queue.
You are somewhere that's advantageous.
So project, see the mighty things God has done.
You are going to say the great things God has done and say boy I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm moving.
The world is small. I'm moving.
All is well. All is well. All is well.
And always you'll be excited to be in the house of the Lord.
Praise the name of the Lord. All is well.
All is well.
And therefore I enjoy my life.
I enjoy, I'm not negative.
I'm not negative.
I can't go and commit suicide because somebody broke up with me.
If you broke up with me, I would break in with somebody.
I mean that's, my friend get away.
There's a life ahead of me. I have a life ahead of me.
Did you understand what I'm talking about?
Man and God please can you help.
A lady came to me and was talking to me.
Man and God please can you help me.
I said what? What should I?
She was crying at all.
It's a serious matter.
I said what is the matter?
My sister, what's the matter?
You know and she's not saying and she's crying and she's not saying.
You know Sandra you just have to allow the person to talk, talk, talk, talk.
I mean be quiet and then.
Okay?
I said madam what is the matter?
It all began three months ago.
Now I just knew it was a relationship.
The moment she said it all began three months ago, I knew it was a relationship.
I said what began?
I said a lot of things. I don't even know what to start from.
I said start from anywhere. Just wherever you start from.
I have invested my life into him as a relationship.
That this will be through.
Then he said,
I have tried calling him. I went to see the mother.
And they said they don't want to see me again.
So I have been calling to apologize.
But now he has blocked me.
I wanted to pray for me.
It's crazy.
You are calling the person.
You are calling the person. The person is not answering.
The person is seeing your call. The person is not answering.
Move on.
What's so strange about this?
I have invested in him. Who told you?
Was he a bank?
Eternal investment. When we were going for so many
and we are here in Siobuia and we are to...
You are invested in him.
It's serious.
When you see somebody, nor you want to throw your whole life on the person.
You are going to cook. You are going to wash. You are going to clean the room.
What's wrong with you?
One bone is one.
Saturday we have evangelism. You are going to your boyfriend's house.
Is it the way you are walking?
That's how you... When you are coming back.
No, no, no.
Don't force yourself like that.
Some of you guys, this lady you are looking at, the lady's heart is closed.
You want to... You want to still... You want to enter. You want to enter.
What's that?
I'm a speck of my own.
You have to have that thing. I'm a speck of my own.
No body.
Sir, please. I'm coming to see if the application I brought six months ago...
Oh, my friend, go. I will say I will call you.
Yes, sir, please.
Oh, hey, my friend, go, go.
Here you go. Are you there? One week later you come. Sir, please.
Ah, this guy.
No.
No, no, no.
Sir, boss, boss, hey, relax.
It's a job I came to look for.
I tried to demean me here.
What's wrong with you?
Hallelujah.
Set like enjoy yourself.
Don't become cheap to anybody.
Praise the name of the Lord.
The person says, it's my lecture. And then you say, my lecture is what?
So you want to make me feel like I'm not a human?
You can't do that.
I always say that the world is created by our Father for all of us to enjoy.
We all have equal right to enjoy.
You can't make the earth, you can't make this world hard for me.
Chop your line inside, let me chop my line inside.
Do you understand what I'm talking about?
You cannot be drawn towards negativity, be drawn towards things that people are doing,
and still be able to properly serve God.
You can't do that.
Most of it are not people who say, I'm working on myself.
Oh, I'm just trying to work on myself.
I mean, I just, I need some time to work on things and stuff like that.
Their problem is not work on things.
Still, their mind is stuck with the negative things.
If you can just set up yourself one night, thank you Father, I bless you Lord.
You saved me, you let me, you took me out of things when I had no strength.
I bless you Father.
Then you sing, oh, you bless the name of the Lord.
The next day you wake up, you are so fresh, ready to smile again, ready to give praise to God,
ready to enjoy the Lord.
Hallelujah.
So, I don't know, I can't come to church.
So, please, you do the ushering for me.
Why?
Because I'm going through a lot of things.
I want to take my time and handle them.
Madam Handel, are you a car handler?
What are you handling?
No.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Say, I serve the Lord non-stop.
No, it's like, it's like you don't like what I'm telling you.
Say, I serve the Lord non-stop.
Hallelujah.
Very important, the moment you begin to join any of the ministries in the church, be ready.
First thing you should be expecting is a head.
If you are not head, say, hey, why is this thing delaying?
It's like it's delaying you.
Yeah, so when you get a pam pam, say, aha, that's fine now.
At least, because you see, it will happen.
But be stuck with the good things the Lord is doing.
Don't let your mind become vain because of laziness the roof caves in.
Caves in.
You not become active again.
You know, how many of us know that when you take leave of what you are doing in church,
you're just quiet, when you are back in your element, coming back is very tough.
Very tough.
If you were singing and you left for three months, and then, and then, the first time you come, you hold microphone.
You feel like you're in the wrong place.
You just feel like your spirit, there will be no more spirit in you.
Now you be thinking, what are people going to say?
What are people say? Yes.
It is not the people, it is you.
Nobody has that, nobody is thinking about you.
You know, people think that, let me close with you, people think that all that people are doing in this life is thinking about them and talking about them.
Don't overrate yourself like that.
You are not that important like that.
Do you understand?
People think that like, as people are in their homes, right now somebody and somebody is doing a call about them.
Ah, who are you?
They are always thinking, so when they come and maybe, oh, Gifty didn't smile, then why not Gifty?
I was saying, maybe somebody is rushing to go and take a mop.
You saw you at the, Nenebri, or I met him right at the gate.
He passed.
I just shook my head.
I said, these people, they don't know.
They don't know.
He's just going like he's busy going to pick a mop and, he's serious.
This is the way the church is going.
We didn't even start the church like that.
When we started church, we were all together.
All these people just came in.
They came, they came with some attitude.
You are the problem.
You have an MBA, me bahache.
When that spirit enters into you, you feel like everything should revolve around.
When people meet you, they should just be like, oh, please, you are welcome.
Status of the ministry.
It doesn't work like that.
You have an MBA spirit.
Hallelujah.
So it's not people don't think about you like you think.
Say people don't think about me like I think.
Master, people are serious, oh.
People are, some people are in their rooms, they are praying.
Some people are going to work, they are stuck in traffic.
Some people are running after some deals.
Some people are stuck.
Some people are even in their room, they are thinking about Charlie.
This week, can't I get any contract anywhere to at least some 500 cities to land or something.
Some people are thinking about, hey, Charlie, so what will I do?
I need to be financially free.
You think that all that they are doing is thinking about you.
Be there.
Hallelujah.
Nobody thinks about you like that.
Are you understand that?
As I'm told, somebody is in the room, the person is very hungry.
Hungry, he's looking at where?
Their ability to think is not even there.
Did you understand?
Somebody is going through something very awkward, one corner.
He's thinking, God, when are you coming to help me with this matter?
Then you are there, you think somebody is thinking, nobody has the time.
My friend, nobody has the time.
Nobody, say nobody has the time.
So you are walking already, you are frowning.
You come to church and you are frowning because you think everybody like the church, they've all ganged up against you.
Who are you?
Nobody is ganged up against you.
Did you even see the way that he was preaching?
They're still talking to him.
So see, like they think my straight bullet is giving it to me.
You think I have time for you?
You don't understand the preaching.
Hallelujah.
When you keep on doing that, you become vain.
Let's finish with the Romans quickly.
You become vain in your imaginations.
And you're foolish, the bad news is you get a foolish heart.
That foolish heart gets darkened.
Hallelujah.
Your heart now is darkened.
I mean, when you talk about me, it's your problem.
Whatever you think you see me to be, because right now, if I give five people a sheet of paper to write about me,
everybody will write something different.
There's no way what they are writing is going to be the same.
So your opinion of me is your version of me.
That's your problem.
I know I'm very good.
That's all.
I cannot be thinking about what you are thinking about me.
No, no, no, I don't have time for that.
I have a church to pastor.
I have books to write.
I have lives to change.
I have sick people to heal.
Hallelujah.
Just right now, I have about four people in chains, I have to find time to go and pray for them.
Believing God that they will be healed.
You think I have time to think about you?
No.
My friend.
So look at that.
He says that they glorified him not.
Neither were thankful, but became vain in their imagination.
And their foolish heart was darkened.
Let's continue.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
23.
And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man.
I should preach on this on Friday.
Hallelujah.
He says that when they were not thankful, and they were not glorifying God, they became foolish in their darkened heart.
And then they changed the glory of God.
They changed the glory of the incorruptible God to an image that is corruptible.
Their life moved away from God.
The reverence of God.
The holding of God in high esteem.
Now their God became their work.
Their God became their friends.
Their God became a mutual joint on Sundays.
Their God became something that does not have equal value as God.
Do you understand that?
Yeah.
That's how it is.
So the person who was coming to church and worshiped that, the person is crying and crying and crying.
And the person is jumping, doing praises.
And the person is excited.
The person now comes to a point where on Sunday, we say, oh, I have to wash my things.
Swap.
They've swapped the image.
They've swapped their God.
May you never come to that place.
Come on, I pray for you in the name of Jesus.
May you never come to that place.
Sundays, they will go to church.
Bless God, worship God.
And now Sundays, they watch movies.
They watch movies now.
Because you see, they're not interested in going to church.
Entire church.
I ain't go to church.
They swap.
Now, the things that are corruptible have become the image of God to them.
So when you meet someone, the person says, oh, you can worship God in your room.
I read my Bible and I'm fine.
I do my own church service in the room.
And most of these people don't actually read the Bible.
They swap.
Then the Bible says that, and made to corruptible man and to bear his four-footed bees and creeping things.
Now, here he's talking about those who actually now begin to carve idols, proper idols to worship them.
You can have a gospel singer, somebody who started singing gospel in the church, get to a point it feels like, no, Charlie, this time you don't get protection, you die.
And then they will go to a shrine to go and collect when they will go and collect to come and sing gospel.
I was told that some of the gospel people, they go and then they use blades to mark their tongue.
Yeah.
And the person says he's a gospel singer.
Like they've become too busy.
They did not understand what they were doing.
They didn't give glory to God.
They were not thankful to God.
And so now the same has overwhelmed them to the point that their foolish heart is darkened.
Right now, they've lost the sense of God in them.
May you never lose the sense of God in you.
Because it's possible for a Christian to lose the sense of God.
It's possible for somebody who once prayed in tongues, very on fire and stuff like that, to come to a point where everything of God has not really...
The person can show up here as a person can pray in tongues and stuff like that.
The person can still be doing that.
But the person, the Bible says that they have a form of godliness, but they deny the power of it.
And may you never come to that point.
Praise the name of the Lord.
You that you are the mission field, you gave a prophecy.
Now, you prayed for somebody, the person is healed and stuff like that.
You come to a point, you foolishly say that all those things, Charlie, Charlie, I don't know.
Charlie, I don't know.
I don't even know whether they got here or they didn't get here.
That time, man of God just tell you, bring some people.
So just come in.
The person who's at least even pray for the person, the person who's not healed.
So there's no God.
Your foolishness was written 2000 years ago.
It's right here.
Let's try to finish it.
Wherefore?
God also gave them up to uncleanness through the last of their own heart to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.
The last time I told you something, God loves us, but he does not force us.
We together in this place?
Yeah.
So he's a Christian who loves God.
He used to love God.
He used to be faithful in the church.
He was even a pastor.
He was a deacon.
He was whatever.
And then finally, he doesn't care about God.
You see, he's going to smoke.
He's going to sleep with people, you know, all kinds of things.
And God says, all right, let him be.
Allow him to be.
No, man of God, God cannot put a chain on your neck dragging you to church every day.
No.
It is you who has to come to a point of saying, wow, Lord, I am walking with you.
See, walking with God consistently does not depend on God.
It depends on you.
And it depends on your choices.
Write that down.
It depends on your choices.
Now, let me close with that.
So I was closing with something there.
I couldn't close that.
I'm going to close with that.
This one.
It depends on your choices.
The choices you make, the associations you make.
Write what I'm telling you is very important.
The associations you make, the friends you make, the places you go to.
Very important.
Because you see, as we are here, 10 years from now, some of us may not be here.
Do you understand that?
Some of us would have stopped church.
I said this thing two years ago.
And as we are talking, some of the people who said, ah, I am going to be here, they are not here.
They are not here.
You know why?
Because they are going through a couple of things and they want to handle it.
And they have to handle it.
That's how it is.
There's always racial flame.
The devil will always bring something up, give you a more reason.
He'll be dragging you, be dragging you, be dragging you.
By the time you realize you are dragged.
But may it not be you.
Praise the name of the Lord.
So the service of God, the service of God is done through keeping in mind the great things that God has done for you.
To serve God.
If you say we are going for evangelism, what will make you to say, I will not sleep, I will go for evangelism.
Is to be always mindful or keep in mind the great things God has done for you.
Some of you, you are here, you don't belong to any department in this ministry.
You don't belong to any department in this church.
You just come to church.
When we close, you go.
You don't feel the need to commit yourself to anything.
You don't have music is there, this one is there, this one is there.
You still don't have any pleasure to join anything.
You just want to come to church and go.
Somebody said, the reason I don't want to join anything in the church is that after church all music people wait behind.
All these people wait behind.
I can't.
You are still Kana.
If you have in your mind the great things God has done for you, you will know that there is no sacrifice in this world that can be compared to that of Jesus Christ.
There is no sacrifice in this world that is compared or can be compared to the great things God has done for you.
You know, one day I was preaching in a church in a village.
And the one who was leading the praises had one child here.
And he was leading the praises.
The woman was singing, ah, boni, same boni, same clap, clap.
And then the woman started dancing, dancing.
And I looked at the chalawity the woman brought to church.
And I said, what shall we do?
And the woman was happy.
And if you see the clothes the woman is wearing to church.
And the woman is happily praising, thanking God and dancing.
And then I saw the other customers in the church dancing.
You know, the people there dancing.
And I was just asking myself, what at all has this person?
Because you have every reason to stay home.
Number one, being born here.
Number two, some of you have not even gone to school before.
Number three, what you are wearing, you can't send it to church.
Why you have brought it to church?
After the praise and worship we sat down and then they saw a little girl dance here, you know, village churches they do that.
Then the woman who led the praise came to stand in front of the people.
Then the church was like, Amen.
So I was the one to praise, I was seated in front.
I just bowed my head like that and I started crying.
And I'm like, somebody in a state like that could say,
I'm going to be a good man, I'm going to be a good man.
What was the testimony?
Planting.
I know the corn market or the corn market.
Or the corn market.
There were a lot of planting.
And he was wondering how he's going to sell her planting.
And he said,
What kind of testimony is that?
Planting.
All the things you took to the market, I don't think it will even be up to 500 regal as it is.
She's coming to say that we should join her to bless God.
Or the body or the cork.
And I had to drop everything I came to preach.
We don't need a city message here.
Hallelujah.
And then I also started saying it, I mean when I sang and knelt,
I was wearing white that day, I had to knelt.
I also wanted to do something to tell God, I want to dirty myself in this place.
Very important.
As we are talking, somebody has gone to school.
The person has degree.
The person has pegri.
The person has egri.
The person has figri.
The person has egri.
The person has all kinds of gries.
But the person is home.
Why? Because it has rained.
And I didn't get a car.
It has rained.
The weather is too chilly.
The weather is chilly.
Your problem is that your hair is not working.
I'm going to say.
Fah-e-mi-jee-eh-e-su-me-ra-dee.
That's what the Bible says.
Put it up there, let's close.
Hallelujah.
102 sound.
Have you enjoyed yourself tonight?
Yes Lord.
Or you wanted it to be hot?
The Lord has blessed me.
Alright, let's go.
It says, save the Lord with gladness.
Did you see that?
Save the Lord with gladness.
This is a powerful admonishment.
Save the Lord with gladness.
Tell somebody, save the Lord with gladness.
The way you are saying, save the Lord with gladness.
You are not even glad about it.
Save the Lord with gladness.
Yeah, save the Lord with gladness.
It's a great thing to save the Lord.
It's a wonderful thing to save the Lord.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Today, today, I was coming through Facebook and I saw a video.
Were you at the Kumasi conference?
Agi, you didn't come.
You didn't come.
So I forgot the year, about like 34 years ago.
2019, yeah 2019.
And I saw the video and the man of God was praying.
You were there.
The man of God was praying.
He laid hands on me.
I was looking at him.
Then I told Kelvin, hey, I saved God.
Because like you said, I said, my year, I'm ready.
They say, why not?
I said, look at the background.
I am the one who did the lights.
And then I was telling him all the things I had to go through.
That day, I had to go to Oprah Square to get lights.
I got the light.
I bought everything.
I was holding things.
All the money was finished.
The only thing that was left was my transport.
I had to carry the thing.
2019.
And then when I was picking the car, I was holding the thing.
And I was like, we're not getting the car.
It was in the evening.
So I, somebody was pulling the thing.
My teacher was asking.
So the only thing the person could get was my phone.
The person took my phone, second, took my phone from my bag.
I was using Note 5.
Took the phone like that.
I didn't find the phone.
Then I came.
The next day, we had to go.
It was a Tuesday or so.
So Wednesday, we had to go to Kumasi.
We left to Kumasi.
The woman was sat in the car.
My Tommy said, you misbehave.
So I stopped on the way.
They waited for me.
You hear, pa.
I said, we don't know what is happening here.
We sat.
The woman would go to Boon.
So I just said, please, let's stop here.
Go, go.
Take the rest of the money.
Go.
I went somewhere, did my salsa, bought collodio.
That one, I took about four.
Yes.
And I picked a car.
Then I came.
When I came, that was the day the thing was starting.
I got there around 12.
I now have to, you know how you have to bring all the things out and then connect it.
When you cut, you connect it.
Nobody was there.
I think Petra was the one who offered to help and were laying the black cloth and water.
The two of us alone were doing this thing.
And I had not eaten the whole day.
I said, hey, I was literally shaking.
I was doing the thing.
Then daddy came around, just walking like that.
What is this?
What are you doing?
Serving has to start at seven.
What time did you come here?
He did not wait to know whether I was not going, I was not well or what.
What is this?
I said, I will handle it.
It will come out well.
I don't see what you are doing.
They just left like that.
Then Petra was laughing at me.
I'm thinking, should I remove all this and leave their nonsense background for them or what?
The service was supposed to start at seven.
And 15 minutes to the service, Mr. Adia ends up.
He just said, Kwame, we have 15 more minutes to start service.
What are you doing?
I don't even know what you are doing.
I went in the middle and I found that the thing has not come.
So I just connected the thing.
He was outside and I turned it on.
So I think he saw through the window that something has...
It came like that.
You don't even have the cat to say it looks nice.
You have the discipline to tell me you have done well.
And I went through it.
They say, it is good to serve the Lord.
You want to say it is good to serve the Lord?
And I was... and that day, the first night as he was ministering, I didn't eat all.
Then I had to go and still take the microphone and lead songs.
When I finished singing, I couldn't take it anymore.
I left the building.
Then I went straight to the kitchen.
I went and said, Mama Sarah, I'm hungry.
Give me food to eat.
So I said, Mama Sarah, I don't know.
Please give me something to eat.
I'm not eating since morning.
The things that I have done here, give me...
I said, oh, me ba wa bre.
He gave me something to eat.
Hallelujah.
It's good to serve God.
Join something.
Do something in the house of God.
Not just be walking and be coming and be going and be coming and be going and be coming.
No.
Do something.
Find something to do.
Hallelujah.
Be upstanding because I got to close.
Tell somebody, find something to do.
Hold the person's hand.
Say, brother, sister, find something to do.
Find something to do.
Hallelujah.
Find something to do.
I want you to lift up your voice.
We're just lifting up our voice the next two minutes.
Father, I am grateful.
I am thankful.
I want you to set your mind right now on some amazing things the Lord has done.
Some amazing things the Lord has done in your life right now.
And then open your mouth and begin to thank God.
Begin to thank God.
Think about some great things God has done.
It can be your spiritual life.
It can be salvation.
It can be some things you can name.
I have every reason to bless you.
And bless the name of the Lord.
