Perseverance (Born to Lead Like Christ) Rev James Okine 15th Sept 2024

Hess with me.

Say, Lord Jesus, say this morning, I thank you for

the testimony you have given me. Say I know that

my life is not going to be the safe at

the end of this service.

I know I have my testimony.

Now lead the heavens above my head be opening, say

lead the entrance.

Ask your word be open.

Say, oh Lord, let my heart be yielding to your word.

In Jesus my to name.

In this same mood, I want you to appreciate God

for what he has done for you. Oh can you

appreciate God somebody for what he has done for you? Hallelujah, hallelujah.

And this morning one thing that.

Is very critical, and for me, I see that's very critical, Liza.

You see that the vision, the vision of the son, is.

In the dream of the father. Let's say it again.

The vision of the sun or the daughter is always

in the dream of the fire.

The Bible said, young men shall see visions, and no

damad who dream dreams.

This morning, we have an old man, like I said,

we have an old damman who dream dreams.

And the dreams of this old Ammon are nom near dreams.

The dreams will take you somewhere. And this is none other,

but he had passed out. The next Emerencary Church examin admission.

Nicoll that Williams, can we have present life?

Can you have present voice life? How do you see?

What did I love about this man, who I call

a father, is that he's always thinking about the youth.

He's always thinking about the youth. You have certain people,

certain fivedays, who don't think about it. They think about

their class of people. But for this father, our father,

your father, my father is thinking about us. Now.

Can we turn up what he's fine? Lawyer? The lawyer? Amen?

And like I always say, I wouldn't have known him personally.

Last week I was telling you the same. The last weeks,

I said. The last week I said it. I kept

saying that you see, someone will have to hold your

hands to meet this one.

Today he knows me by name.

In the congregation of thousands of people, can say James,

and he said blessing. And this di didn't just happen.

But I always say I call him my prophet, even

though he has you call him a bishop. I call

him my prophet. And he held my hands and said, James,

let's go. Oh God there, I said, Papa, this is

one of your sons until today.

I'm close.

And this is not that I want you to help

me tango for the life of the prophet.

Profit to williams Aljah everything. I'm nicely.

This prophet that has been away for some time because

our father gave him a few assignments every day.

But today he came in his glory. So my prophet

is in the house. That my prophet is in the house,

can we talk over the life of my prophet? Promise? Amen?

Yeah, I'm under pressure when a prophet is in the

house and you have to preach, I'm under pressure. The

first serviage, I said, this should pray for me. So

prayer for me, said God, giving grace, giving grace to preach.

Ah Man, thank you so much for prayer for me.

Amen.

And I want you to appreciate yourself for coming to

church and for making this service happen. No, appreciate yourself, Amen,

Hall lawyer, quickly say my neighbor, my neighbor. There is

no place near this place like this place, and therefore,

once you're in this place, you're not leaving the same.

Put your hands together a prist seated Amen, haw Hee lawyer,

this one we are going to do it very quick,

how he lawyer.

About that period, we've been talking about.

Bound to lead like Christ, bound to lead like Christ,

and just to do a little recup, I remember giving

a few statements. I was saying that God created us

in his innate so that we can lead, so that

we can have dominion. And I told you last week,

as a man who has been created by God, you

must understand that wherever you get to, you must have dominion.

You must dominate, you must rule. So the Bible said,

for we are the light of the earth and the

salt of the my two chapter five from the eleven

that was they're at verse sixteen. The Bible said, Jesus said,

for let your light so shine before men, that they

will see your good works and glorify your Father, which.

Is in heaven. Amen.

And I remember saying that as a leader, you must

always have a ladder because people want to go up

with you. People don't just follow people. So Peter went

to us. He says, he says, I'm following you. What

am I going to get? People don't just follow people. Yeah,

people follow you for a reason, and the reason is

that they want to become like you. The reason is

that they want to look like you. Isn't that they

are seeing you dress in a very nice time, in

a very nice shed, in a very nice suit, in

a very great and powerful podcast square like my brother Godfred.

And they said, I want to be like this man.

And yet they are following you and they do not

have any allow that to crime with you. It becomes

a problem. And a lot of people have followers, yet

the fullers that they don't.

Look like them.

But that is not the leadership style we are building.

That is not what God wants us to build. So

the Bible said the genesistem to one best twenty He

says that be fruitful, and God bless them. And God said,

be fruitful, multiply, replan is subdu and have dominion over

the earth and over everything of the head. That is

what God has better us to be. So if you're

not dominating, it's a problem. If you're not ruling, it's

a problem. You must rule, and you cannot rule without

first ruling yourself. And that's one of the things I

said the last time. You cannot be a leader of

our people where you're not a leader of yourself first.

And I remember saying that for you to build the ladder.

You need setting characteristists or certain qualities to build the ladder.

And I said that for the next Jaen Church, the

vision of the next Young Church as well raising prayer

for christ Like leaders to impact their generation.

Everything I thought we are doing as a Next Game Church.

We are doing that so that world we can raise

christ Like leaders and nobody I thought that comes into

this church we'll be able to achieve the papers of

God for their lives. And that is why the Next

Game Church has been established by God through the head

pastor of this church at Bishop Nicholas, than can Williams?

Can we can go for his life for more time?

For such a great and mighty dishi Amen? Harlen Lawyer. Yeah, standing,

others are sitting can't.

Can't? Can we appreciate God for And I remember saying

that one of the things you need, or.

One of the character racist or one of the qualities,

one of the characters you need to build a ladder

which will cause people to follow you. You said, you

don't need to just go and do evangelism or art.

The Bible said, refirsh remove what is in your eye

before you remove the log the speck in other sye.

So if you haven't removed the log in your eye,

how do you just to remove the speck in people's eyes?

In other words, if you have not led yourself, how

do you lead people to Christ? And that is what

is happening in a lot of judges today. We go

out and we'll do it. Tell it's even not yet

when they pop come, they don't see. They don't see Christ.

They don't see that this and they live and it

looks like you're quarry water on the stone.

We have to influence the people.

So just let your lights shine. Lights and sort are influences.

You must influence where you are. If all these lights

go off, the places with bed, but once the light

comes on, it influences something. Some of you Maniately the

lights are on when you enter, you took your phone,

have to take a picture. The light has influenced your character.

And that is what God expects from us. And therefore

the said, look, teach it. Let them know what Christ is,

what Christ wants from them. The last two weeks I

started talking about it. I spoke about integrity and I

said that integrity is the quality of being honest and

having strong christ Like principles that you refuse to change

and otherwise you don't compromise. Romans want to off it,

says I worked, or Romans towf one. Yes, romans tow

off one to He said, be not confirmed to the world,

but Biggie transformed. So don't conform to the things of

this world. Have integrity, strong christ Like principles. And I

was saying that you see, that's one of the greatest problems.

And I will saying that you see.

Being a political some of them they have a machinery,

they have an office and the title or their office

name is propaganda. So we have somebody called the propaganda. Second,

and I was telling you that propaganda will check the minu.

Propaganda is lie. So we have lying secretries. And that's

the problem of going. We are not we are not

having honest people, and that is not what we need

to build.

We are Christians. We need to be honest.

And I remember saying, give you the next point, which

us honor. We honor people and the church. We need

to always honor people, honor people that people below people

on the same level with you. And the third point

I gave was consequence. I said that if you know

the consequence of a decision. The vision making is always

easier if you know the reason why you're doing a thing.

Doing it becomes fun. It becomes fun.

You don't go and drink alcohol and be boost and

go and sit behind the stairwheel and say that I'm driving. No,

you don't go and then have sex with someone you're

not married to and it's like it's okay. And I said,

I want to know the consequence of the people are

being around you. Having the people around you you change

your mind because some of you say the way you

dress because of the people around you. Yeah, it's got

for the people around you. The reason why you are

waring what you'rewevering because of the people around you. The

reason why you're behaving the way you are behaving because

of the people around you. Some people are able to

give you all because the people around them influence them

not to give their all.

People around us.

So you know the consequence of the things around you.

The decision you make. DISI making is easier. Why do

you want to work at next than are limited of

all that through because of money? So that will influence

your thinking. So when you go and then they're not

increasing your pay and other people's say are being increased.

You get offended. What is the consequence of the decision

you are taking.

The last week, we talk about accountability, and I give

it a difference. I said that accountability is simply defined

as taking responsibility. And I was saying that one of

the things we do easily is to blame people. And

today I sat an example, the right after the message,

we have some training somewhere and one of the gentlemen

needed to do something and when we were asked him,

why didn't.

You do it? He was not the one.

Supposed to do it right after change, and he was explaining.

He was just explaining, explaining to.

Us, all why are you still why are you still

saying that? Why didn't? Why not? In the service?

He said, no, I'm not the other side he said, okay,

I'm sorry. Then when we closed the meeting, he came

back so with what I said. He wanted to explaip

for what he was the West wod you wanted to

the guy wanted to explain further?

He said, I want to explain. I want to explain.

That said my friend, sit down, sit down, you guys

plain explaining Still one thing to push and blame. I said,

I know I didn't do it because it's not me.

I'm not the one supposed to do it. Like a

lot of us. That's all we do at all, That's

what we do in the office, that's all we do

in school, that's all we do. After that, we pushed blame.

And because of that, we are not able to leave people.

We are not able to take a responsibility because your

fear is that when before we give, you cannot go answer.

So you don't want to take the position.

Or yeah, your wife, whenever they look at you, they

see you as the one that must lead.

Say no, no, no, no no.

The reason why you're saying no, it's not because you

can't lead. It is because you're afraid to take responsibility.

And I said, in life, one of the greatest things

which we need to understand that will happened. The last

event that happened is giving account. On the day of judgment,

you give account. So the last event of life is

accounting for what you came.

To do here on it.

But yet you don't talk about accountability. We don't talk

about it because accountability is important, and that is what

is going to determine whether you go to heaven or

hell and come to talk today again. Come to talk

to you today again on the subject of entitled perssiverance, passiveance, persiveance.

So we are still talking about bound to lid like Christ.

But do they want to look at passive rance?

Because for you do they want to give the good

account you need to give.

You need to passive? Now what is passive us? What

is passive rance? Write there is down. Passiveance is continuing

effort or persiverance is the continuing effort to do or

achieve something, A continuing effort to do or achieve something

despite difficult art.

Fellow and opposition.

So continual effort to do or achieve something despite the difficulty,

the failures, and the opposition. I want to make this statement.

Success is no coincidental. You can write it down. Success

is no coincidental. Success is intentional. Nothing in this world

happens my chance. For you to achieve what you want

to achieve in life, it takes a certain level of intentionality,

a certain level of intentionality. You want to marry, yet

you don't want to cook. You want to marry, yet

you don't want to even take care of yourself.

You want to marry.

Yet when we are talking to you, then you can't

chuck up and your checko sounds like tonic surface. You

want to marry yet how to even lay a bed?

You don't know how to lay a bed. You want

to marry yet don't We said we have prepared tea

for us or a millow for us. It burns, it

burns a We're about to get consol in the tea

conso consol consol in the middle.

You're prepared. You want to go to school, yet they're

not standying, they're not learning, You're not.

Behaving like one dad wants to go to school. The

definition says, what a continued effort. This may not be easy,

It doesn't come light. It comes with a certain level

of efforts. Terms after one best warf and ivy terms

after one.

Look at it. It's a blessed and ivy blid. That

is the man.

Who praised persivers and that trial because when he has

to the tests, you receive the.

Crown of life that God has promised to those who

love him.

What is this scripture saying perseverance who cause you to

have the reward? That's simply what the scripture I say.

When you persevere, you easily get the reward. What does

he mean to perceive here? To persevere means to be committed.

Write it down. To perceive your means to be committed.

To perceive your means to endy, to perceive your means

to be dedicated? Hello, are you here with me to

perceive you have missed? To be committed? Uh, to be war,

to endure uh huh, to be.

Dedicated, to be stepfast, to be step first, to be

stair first, to be stair first.

Many other things that will come you away, But when

you are committed to it, you're about to achieve it.

When I wanted to marry my wife, let me use this, Agazam.

It wasn't that.

You see. She was not She was not just a

single lady. She had some money in her life. H

When I met her for the first time, I liked it.

Something lived from me. When I said, I said, no,

this like adam, this is bone of my bone and

flesh of my flesh. Because she looked like what I like.

And when I saw that, I said, no, this one

I must, I must, I must take it. I must see.

What happened When I got closer, I realized that this firm,

passage and owner.

The FARMACA.

There was a care taker, not a care taker, a caretaker.

But you know, if you know what you want, care

take cares don't prevent you. I told my friends, hello,

look this one. There's a care taker. But I'll still

be the good boy. One day this care.

Taker came around. Forgive me A don't know. I don't

see the story.

But I can't think I came around, and I can't

think I came to see me.

They can't think.

I asked them that the god who is this? They

guess they do, is a church member. The cat think,

I said, work out?

The guys work out? Now's that work out? Oh? I

don't know what? High I know? And wow, my god,

was it work out? Really? I look at him that

I look at the goddam confused?

I said, workouts? That was one we when that was

talking to me or like somebody else. Now you look

at me, I guess, gentlemen, workout, Yes, sir, I went.

When I went to the one of my guys said,

you're back, Ellie, what what happened? But it's not usual

when I go. I still longer, I still long I

tarry along. We are, I said, somebody kill the visitors.

You work out. I don't know who the vesiness that

work out.

So I worked out. They know what my CAUs in

told me. Do you still like I said, like they said,

continue the fight. Mhmm, as I as you should. You

should ask some of these friends who tell you, who

push you to do the good things, not bad not

bad things, but they were encourage you to do the

good thing. Then the following I went to her.

I went back. I went back to the house. When

I said, oh, yeah, back to that, I'm here. Who

is that man? Is had to a friend? We needn't

come around today?

She said no, but I don't know somebody who called

him to come that said, so let's it's outside. The

first were in the room. Now we are sitting our side,

got outside.

This don't for you?

Outside is no mass without outside. Were sitting outside. Amazingly

he came. But this time we're sitting outside us side.

Will you tell me to work out? I'm already out.

Where they are. But you see what am I saying.

If you don't have that staying power, that tenacity, that commitment,

you give up. And people have given up, not because

they don't want it to but because the lack of revelation.

The lack of revelation, write they stand down. When you

don't have knowledge and understanding in what you want, you

lose it because knowledge understanding gives bet to what we

call conviction. Away lack conviction, you don't get it. Like

some of us, we are here, yet you don't know

why we living here. So after now we've been asking

our self questions the micra why my year should I not?

Why? Why don't I go to the main church?

No?

No, why don't I go and join something else somewhere? Oh? Why?

Because you see we have gotten into certain place in

our lives.

What looks like this. I'm not working.

It's a challenge, but one with passive he Once we

end here, once we have committed shorely achievement.

Some of us we always said, look, I want to

start their business. I want to do this, I want

to do that. Yet an auncle has come to you.

My chapter four from this one, an ancle has come

to you and he said, I like amember year came

to me and it's one of the pastors, so I

can talk about it.

It's the past. I want to start the business. Ok.

You that's fine. That's our business. I the past is

can I use it? I can use it?

He just giving me an He said, look, I want

to start the business. And this business.

Look when he told me that in there, I said,

this business willquire millions of dollars, not two thousand cities. No,

when you said this one will have millions of dollars.

Starting a factory and producing what somebody was producing and

the person shut down, he wants to take it up. Wow,

And I said, do you have the skill to do that?

He said yes. I I said, Charlie flow.

So instead of telling him that, Chari, this sem is

a very difficulty to don't do it, don't try it,

I said, Okay, let's start. Let's start it as a superpritor.

Then great gradually as an enterprise. Moan, let's great crad

Somebody would have said, what are you going to do this, Charlie,

this thing. You can't do it, you can't achieve it.

Stop it and it listening.

You need more money and people right now down the economy.

Come on me, Hardt sos the a lot of us.

We have a lot of business ideas, but yet it

is not being mailt manifests.

It's in the archives, not for now. Tobaya the Ammonite

was beside him.

No, that's one, thes one, work with me, that's one,

I said, that's one. Work with me.

He said, But it's so happened when somebody had had

that we were rebuilding. This was the time my heart

and news that the works of Jerusalem were came down

the Bible said. He got so much affected that he

desired to build a wall, and he went back to building.

And when he went, why do I building the wall?

One guy called Sambalat and his friend got Tobaia.

Come, I said, look at it? He said, Oh, are

this ignorant Jewish?

Look at them? Look at them? What are they doing?

And invest three? Do you know what they said? Go

to thes three.

Invest three. They said, look what they are building, what

they are building? Go to the s three. He said.

Now tobiad Amnite was beside him, and he said, what

about the building? What about their building? He said, even

if a fox goes to stand on it, it will

break down. What is he trying to say? Don't waste

your time. Look at the wall. Look at the picture

of the wall. He said, don't waste your time to

build this wall. Now, we are talking of a wall

which was nothing less than two point four miles over

a whole city.

Look at it. Look at the wall.

And it is said that the wall was thirty seas

feet high from the ground.

That isis feet high. And the weight of the war,

and the width of the wall was eight point five

feet the width.

Of the war.

That means that you see the top, we.

Can have ten people work this way on it eight

point five feet on that was the wall.

They built a hotel.

Man. Oh, and you see the miracle of this wall.

You see was not built over years. It was built

in fifty two days. This war was built in fifty

two days.

Fifty two fifty fifty two days.

But you see one thing we need to understand. Name

may I have to endy on. You need to passive.

They need to push through.

You need to push through. You need to push to

It was pushing this said, look, this thing must happen.

It must happen. It does happened. You see your exam.

If there's nothing in your belly? How can it flow out?

Can it flow? It's it depends. I want to see

your belly, and no I can.

How can it flow out? Prayer tower upon prayer tower.

He had the time and spending the prayer tower. Take

the book and read. Take the book and we are

not saying prayer it's bad, it's good, but reading en

after ask God, go and prayer. Say God, give me

more wisdom, give me a remembering spirit. Let me remember

this thing I'm learning and see if God.

You want to chatter and become a chatter accountant. You

want to become what a doctor? You want to become

Differentiation and integration, nor, you asked yourself.

Why? See? How can you pass?

Can you pass? One of the schools in Ghana? He said,

how can you feel? You know that school? You were,

you went there? How can you feel? He had one

of the days somebody came to give a testimon on

a whole nation nativy about that school and what the

person said, I thank God that when I came to

I don't want to mention the name of the school.

When I came to the school, by the grace of God.

When I wrote my worssay, I had seventeen, but when

I came to I don't miss the name of the school.

I had nineteen. Yeah, yeah, I.

Had sevent to when I wrote, was say, but when

I came to this school, we says, how can you

feel I have nineteen? Ayes just the person's increased enormous,

not decrease. H But you see what you're not seeing

is this are not seeing this this life? If you

don't put your butts on the chair.

And discipline yourself and tell yourself I can't make it.

You always give up. They always give up. You always

give you always you always give up. And I said, Church,

I said, next generation member, you cannot give up. You see.

The reason why people give up is that they luck understanding.

Like I said, my two, they lack purpose. So a

lot of us, I saity here. We don't know, if

you why we are here on earth, and that is

why we lack the tennacity. We're unable to perceive. The

Bible said here that endrect to the last, the same

shall be saved.

To the last, to the last. Church.

You see going to the field to win souls is good,

and that is what God has called all of us

to do. You cannot sit there and say me, I

don't like outriage. Who told you we like outrage? Who

told you got greaters and people personally for outreage.

Nobody.

Jesus said you will be persecuted for my sake, people

persecuted for my sake. But push true Philippians one best

Fit ninety thirty. He said that for it is given

on to you in the behalf of Christ, not only

to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake.

And he's suffering. You need to perceive. You need to endure.

You need to endure, because why if you don't ideal,

you cannot have it. Write it said, turn down and

grance or perseverance does not only save you for now,

but it gives you an eternal life. Perseverance or endurance

does not only save you for now, but when you persevere.

To the end, it gives you an eternal life. It

gives you an eternal life.

Look at your neighbor and say it is time to

persif here, tell a neighbor you can't give up, you

can't lose hope, do it and let God bless it

for you.

And I say do it.

I'm not saying I'm continued having sex with that money.

I'm not married to.

If I'm saying do it, I'm not saying that keep

on doing the negative things you are doing.

Take up the good habits. I see you have to

do it.

But we are saying the first service that even in

writing as you need to learn, you need to persif here,

you need to endr somebody came in the first alge

to give a test money. He said that, look for me,

I want to.

I want to. I wrote a paper, I didn't get

the marks I want, so I want to write again.

And we're going up last pray for the person during

the testimony time. Then somebody said, now I'm the SRCY president.

Let's the vice president of my school, Lancaster.

Lancastivest Oh, let the Lord help us, Let the Lord

help us. We cannot be small. Next ain't check telling them,

but we cannot be small. People will say a lot

of things about Pastor James not telling thereby, people will

say a lot of things about Pastor James, about about

Pastor Leslie, about the shapherds of this arch, about Pastor Francis,

even about the art Bishop Nicolas. Come, but let me

tell yourself. To tell neighbor, let me tell you something.

Let's do it together. No, let's fight on so that

the power of God will be made manifest. And together

who achieve what God wants us to achieve. But tell neighbor,

I'm watching you, not telling, but I'm watching you. You

cannot stop, You cannot stop, cannot stop giving the scripture

he Brews ten thirty six, he Brews tend thirty six.

Look at he Brews ten thirty six, he Brews the Thetis,

look at it.

Give me an ivy, Give me a nivy. Oh, I

hope you're learning something today. Somebody said I want to

become a doctor twelve years. If this person goes to

tell them. When I look at the person tells me

he wants to become a doctor, I can just as

says that whom is coming from? Because he's dressing, tells.

Me what who is.

When this guy goes to third the mother I wants

to become a doctor, I know the mother was shirtting

my doctor to play the fist to go to to

become a doctor. Choice shrom being being a.

Joy, Sir j doctor Woim's tom.

Unless I sell everything I have, stop that we less

some promb or some cappintry or something. Yes, the powerful

people who are being captured and making it. But I

say we trivialize all of these things. Stop you going less,

some tread somewhere. Every sell your God, you make my

more money.

Look at it.

You need to perceive so that when you have done

the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

Persive you.

I see you perceive you so the way you are done,

when you have done the what is the will of God?

The will of God is to see the whole world.

Said so in your office, you need to perceive you

because God want to use you to save the people

in the office. In your school, you need to perceive

it because God want to use you to save the

people in your school, in your in your whatever, so

a cab group or whatever God wants to your family.

God wants to use you to save your family. But

I was going to the Bible school. They said no,

They said no, I should go and work because someone

I can't turn by profession, I should go and work

and I'm a pastor. By calling said as you go

and wake, I said, I can't. This is what the

Lord is telling me to do. They left me up

until last week. They still be of the same way

to ask me. I was with them last week for

an event and they was looking at me like that.

Somebody called me from my family and told.

Me that.

James actually are coming for this event. Come and preach,

Come and preach, and as the person it's a senior person.

I said, what do you mean I as you come

and preach? Have you sat down my administration before? Have

we had been preached before? What do you mean as

you come and preach?

What have you heard?

They said no, I'm just telling you why because I

went there some years back and I used them as

an example for stopping me from going to the Bible school.

And I was telling her that you stopped me. By

today's I'm a pastor. So they firnt that when I come,

I'm come to use it again. I was come to

fire at them, like tell them my mind, I don't

know come to me. So when I went for the medal,

was sitting down amazing. They went to sit at their back.

You see, when you go through it, you become a testimony.

We go through it and become a test and the

people are waiting for you to go through it so

that they can also follow you and go through it.

So if you stop, it will stop. If you stop,

they will stop. While we are building, we are building

a generational memory. The words are not coming because the

school I went it is a different school.

It's just and if you don't go through it, we

can't have it. Amen, we can't have it. Church. This

is where we find ourselves.

If you want to work in the bank, as if,

always start with the ending mind. I say, what do

you want to become in future? And the next five

is what do you want to become? Start with the

ending mind and that will help you to achieve what

you want to achieve. Let God help us, no, I said,

let God help us. I said, let God help us,

And don't give up give up. If bishop are giving

up my prophet, you always call it my prophet. Joy

could have given ups from years ago at a point

in time. Let me say this so that we laugh

with it. At the point in time, at the point

in time we went for an event where there saying

that Bishop in this church you post what on people

as people to.

Note down, Oh, I can be sure to do that.

This is our accusations.

And some of us we have been accused of a

thousand times because of accusations. You have stopped do what

you're supposed to do. For God, Jah could have said

that I'll not do it again. You would have said,

tell you, I'll not do it again. Said I'll still

tell it.

You said do it. And you see he's still here.

He's still here.

When I see the shop, I guess so happy if

you do know why? Because he said definition for me

of someone who is pecifearing. Do you know what bishop

goes through? But do you know what the prophet you

goes through?

You have no idea. Some of us who are very

close and we know, we know, we know, we know

what he's going through. We know what it goes through.

Look, if you don't stand with you also, you're going

to become assault. You're you're pointing yourself in the entry.

Then you have to treat it as a as a

non believer. So when when I stand and I'm thanking

God everywhere I started, I'm ministry and mentioned his nap,

whether year or wherever I go, I mentioned his snip

the setting. Something I've seen about the Manes weddings was

having the wedding during COVID. Bishop was at the hospital.

He had lines, drinks, drink. He came, he took all them,

he took all the lines. And when he came and

he came to start officiating the wedding, you could see

that the cellulas, the plaster there was there.

And I told that the man is nowhere, but he said, look,

this is my member, this is my this is my member.

He came through.

And when I have such a person in your life,

it's a person someone who is pacifiering.

It's a good example to emblid. It's a good example.

So many times will receive a call Bishop is sick.

He had the next minute to see him there, you see.

So when I see him city, I'm not just saying

things because I feel I need to say.

No, I'm saying because I've seen it. I've seen it.

He has done it for me. But there's money. You

can't testify. Can't you testify?

Caun't you to test I remember one day that was

a nasty and you had a nascident.

The room.

Quickly by good as let them go and die. Shore

can't say let them go and die? He said, take

them lost.

What's what of it? We're not there?

Where's Papa? Why why am I seeing all this thing?

I'm saying this way to understanding. Look, persevere, I said,

breaks resistance. That's my business.

So I'm not just talking about somebody. No, no, no, no,

I know it's an empordiment of what I've been talking about.

Yes, men may have the afforest by an impartiment of

the things I talk about.

Yeah, yeah, is that it is true, That's what he said.

He said, it is true.

So a lot of us we don't know. We don't

know where we are going bad. I prayed that the

Lord to open our eyes to see so that when

we have following the road, they will follow.

Rights, will follow rights. That's it.

They have showed me time, my mama, the red lights,

red lights, And I said they should take it out,

take it out, because I see the reason why I

said is should take it out. It's not that I'm

dist in the time. Please, I beg you, but can

you give me some five minutes? Just can I can

you give me a five minutes. Thank you, thank you

for giving of five minutes. So put five minutes on

the screen. Thank you for for one minutes your five

few minutes. Thank you, so put five minutes on the

screw for me. Put five minutes. After five minutes, I'll

not take your time again, and I'm done.

That's it. Church. We need to we need to pasif here.

We need to run it. We need to run it.

We need to run it. We need we need to

stand save the Pacific. That means to be fair, you,

we need to be fair.

To be fair, what do you want to achieve that

you can achieve? Jesus came and he said, look, look, look,

look it was time for him to die.

He went to the monk, went to Niel down. Oh Charly,

Milliam Copon Minion, bo oh that the earth earth.

Today, this die. I'm going to the put there. No

zeros mean that I've decided to come and die. They

don't still like me die. See what they are doing? Mhm, Dad,

that did personal?

Let this thing? Let's forget. I realized that no, no, no, no, no,

there's a crown. I'm waiting him. No God, no, not

my will, but your will. I'll go through.

Yeah, you see one of the one of the paying

for death is to see somebody who.

Did the knife. And you have been today and the

person is tricking you. You you you felt it when

I say you felt it that that was Jesus on

the cross. And they're like that probably the brothers. Listen.

I say that a way.

Mama, maybe brother, but I want on took him on

the left doing the right, Father, forgive them mhm said

I have the power to lay down my life and

to take it. If I was, Yes, if I was,

if I who can raise men from the dead. H

m hmm. You took me on the left, took you

on the right. You still don't miss there for the floor.

You're not gonna change your life, you know, gona change,

no change that. I just go talk father, Show them small,

show them, show us, show them small.

But it was why it was there? Who's there? And

during it? I said, what's day? Going through it? I

need water? Give me water?

And they brought vinegar to the guy. Oh he still

went through that small problem. I said, I mean business,

your grandad. They are building. I don't know what they

are doing that we start there with friend foundation, You

change you change something something, And they said, you'll come

to water at alls that they don't know what they

are doing. May I'll not join the me I'll go

to the main church. No problem, no problem. But what

you're doing and what you do, understand that you're building

a certain character.

And do you know that character? That character is a character.

That does not make people achieve inditing in life because

you cannot go through and see.

The end of it.

What else can you go through? When you married your husband?

Show you some small pepper? Now you want to vose,

want to divorce? Persif you us and perseverance runs through life, marriage, education,

a freaking it runs through child bed.

You need to remember, my wife was on the beller.

Two minutes? My wife was on the belans. My wife

was on the bed pushing, and I was telling the
