1:27

that I had a meeting with after church

1:32

understand what is going on in

1:34

the world today. And

4:12

that, listen, I'm telling you that there

4:15

is nobody here who will

4:17

sit under the sound of the

4:20

anointed man's voice and go away there. See, it's

4:22

not going to happen. You

4:24

may not know, but something in you will change. Your

4:27

skin color will not change. Your eyes

4:29

will not change. It is

4:31

the shape of your nose that will not change. I'm

4:34

telling you, your spirit is something with you. Hello!

4:38

So when you come to church, arrange yourself

4:40

well. That's what I'm trying to tell you.

4:43

Arrange yourself well. There's going to be some

4:45

joy bubbling and you'll see some excitement. Remember

4:48

that. You're going from every

4:50

place to every place. I'm taking you out

4:52

of my way, and taking you to the

4:54

world. Yes, yes, yes. I

5:03

won't speak again, because there are some people who are

5:05

rushing in the sun. I don't know whether they're all

5:07

good, but I'm telling you that I

5:09

want to send gratitude. I'm

5:12

about to introduce you. I

5:16

can. But you are behaving.

5:18

I can't speak. I

5:20

cannot bring him. I can't bring him. It's

5:22

a city you don't understand why I'm like

5:25

this. What

5:28

are you talking about? What are you

5:30

talking about? What

5:32

are you talking about? Wow. Listen,

5:37

me and I have been

5:39

awakening the church. The

5:41

church rock, church voice,

5:44

the age of 17, up

5:47

to today. And I'm

5:49

very, very happy. I

5:51

said I'm very, very happy. I

5:54

said I'm very, very happy that I'm here. I'm

5:57

better off than all my people in the

5:59

world. Oh, I've arranged yourself,

6:01

I've arranged yourself for you. You're in

6:03

a privileged place. Yeah, I'm telling

6:06

you, you're in a privileged place. I

6:08

really should pay money to be here. I'm telling

6:10

you. Some of you already can see that now

6:12

your mother even talked to you and said, Just

6:14

I listened to you, I think some saint is

6:17

coming to you. Hey! Look,

6:26

today we are about to hear the voice of God.

6:30

The voice of God, yes! I'm

6:33

telling you, God is

6:35

about to speak to us. Oh, yes. The

6:39

word may not be

6:42

pleasant. The

6:44

message may not be... I told the church that

6:46

we are privileged to have a pastor who

6:49

preaches to us the truth and

6:51

the word of God, irrespective of whether

6:53

we like it or not. But many

6:55

pastors today are preaching what people like.

6:57

They are feeding people on sweets, but

7:00

I found God that we have a person who

7:02

preaches the word of God and speaks to us.

7:05

Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how

7:07

excited you are. I

7:11

don't know how excited you are.

7:14

I don't know how ready you are. But

7:18

it's time to bring God in

7:21

our house. If you are excited,

7:23

you can make a noise. If

7:25

you are excited, you can make

7:27

a noise. If you are

7:30

excited, you can jump around and join me.

7:32

And let's welcome to this

7:34

festival, the People of

7:37

Israel. Come on, come

7:39

on! Wrecking

In Jesus name we pray Amen

Amen Can

8:49

you see that? Yes Yes

8:55

Yes It's

8:57

good to see you in church today Yes Yes

9:03

And I

9:10

want to turn our Bibles to Matthew 22

9:15

Yes Yes

9:25

Matthew 22 Veththysax

9:38

Master Which

9:41

is the great commandment in the law?

9:52

Jesus said unto him Thou

10:00

shall love the Lord thy

10:05

God with

10:08

all thy hearts and

10:12

with all thy soul and

10:18

with all thy mind. This

10:24

is the first and

10:28

great commandments. Is

10:32

there anybody here who believes

10:34

in Jesus? Is

10:38

there anybody here who believes that the words

10:40

of Jesus are the words you

10:43

are going to meet on the day

10:46

of judgment? Is

10:50

there anybody who believes that when you read

10:52

the Bible, like I

10:54

see the Bible in Bishop Coby's hand, you

10:58

are looking at past questions? Do

11:03

you know that the Bible in front of

11:05

you is

11:07

past questions? These

11:11

are the ways you

11:14

are going to meet when

11:17

you are being judged. There's

11:20

nothing else. It's

11:26

not only West African exams council

11:28

that gives past questions. You

11:32

are looking at past questions. God

11:37

is not a wicked God. Satan

11:44

rebelled against him and he punished him

11:48

because he is a rewarder. from

12:00

heaven, Satan

12:02

was determined not to go alone. By

12:08

the time he arrived on

12:11

earth, he had successfully swept

12:14

one third of angels, the

12:16

angels. And

12:21

as he's here, he's

12:26

looking for people to join him into

12:34

the leak of fire that was prepared for

12:36

him. So

12:43

anyone who does

12:48

not enter

12:50

into heaven, eternal

12:53

life, goes

12:58

straight into the lake of fire, which

13:05

is the second death. The

13:09

coffin cemetery

13:11

death is the first death. And

13:17

anyone who enters

13:19

the lake of fire has

13:22

begun the second death, which

13:24

is eternity. That

13:34

is why you

13:41

must not think God is joking when

13:45

he tells you to

13:49

be born again. He's

13:53

not joking when

13:55

he tells you to

13:58

give your life to him. Because

14:00

there's a judgment ahead There's

14:08

a judgment ahead So

14:16

when he says something and

14:20

you don't take him seriously You'll

14:24

be surprised to find that he

14:27

was serious I

14:30

don't know if we have that right now But

14:33

one way in schools those days we used to have The

14:37

West African Examination Council not

14:39

past questions, but carry column

14:43

All the things you must study do you still have it?

14:46

The things you must study it's

14:48

written in a book you still have it

14:54

So when you hold it you may think they are not

14:56

serious oh Oh, but

14:59

when you go to the exam room you

15:01

remember that Or

15:06

you may don't remember you may see a

15:08

question Now

15:10

you can't answer and

15:12

you say that they have such difficult questions But

15:16

when you go out of the room and

15:18

you take the character you notice that they

15:20

said that you must study electromagnetic

15:23

waves It was there QAII

15:32

So you're not taking the curriculum

15:34

seriously does not really change What

15:39

is ahead of you? The

15:48

law of God is here

15:50

looking at you This is it This

15:53

is a past question You're

16:01

happy with things. It. Doesn't

17:14

call that immutability of

17:16

God's with. Immutability.

17:21

It does not meet. You

17:24

17:27

17:31

17:36

17:40

17:45

17:50

17:53

of mobilization. And

17:55

bad be a went to this

17:57

highways and byways and the smugglers.

18:00

the cooking addicts and

18:02

we smokers and all that and

18:04

they managed to get the whole

18:07

place full. Just

18:10

before they ate, they

18:12

started just before they began to

18:15

eat, the master

18:17

of the house and

18:22

take the banquet hall. This

18:26

master of the house, remember

18:29

don't forget that he was the

18:31

one who needed people to

18:36

sit in his banquet. Remember

18:39

that this master who just came

18:41

in is the

18:43

one who sent invitations and

18:46

a lot of them did not show up. Remember

18:51

that this is the man who

18:54

sent his servants again

18:56

to go and bring

18:58

everybody showing you

19:01

that this man we are talking

19:03

about needed people. He

19:06

needed people at the banquet. But

19:11

Jesus' story is that when the

19:13

man enters the banquet hall and

19:18

he was about to sit down, he

19:21

noticed somebody who was wrongly

19:23

appareled, who

19:27

was not in the right attire.

19:35

If I were the one telling this story, I would

19:37

have said that he just would have pretended

19:41

that he

19:43

had not seen the man because he needed

19:46

people to come and eat. The

19:48

man stopped, pointed

19:51

to the guy wearing the wrong dress at

19:53

all and I dreamed up, what

19:57

is he doing? what

20:00

are you doing here? Wearing

20:05

what you are wearing. Because

20:08

if you read the Amplified Bible you will know,

20:10

you will learn that the clothes they

20:13

were wearing have been supplied

20:15

at the door. Everybody

20:19

was giving something to wear outside

20:21

and that man chose not to

20:23

wear. But if

20:26

I was the one who needed people

20:28

outside, it's nothing. The man instructed that

20:32

bankrupt owner instructed

20:35

the servants to bind the man's

20:37

hand and his feet and

20:40

they threw him out into after-darkness.

20:42

What I'm saying is that God

20:45

doesn't change his rules.

20:49

He doesn't change his expectations

20:53

of you. He

20:55

has never lowered. If he

20:57

sets a standard, he

21:00

doesn't lower the standard because it

21:02

is you. There's

21:04

nothing like that in the known scriptures.

21:08

A man came to him very happily,

21:11

whatever ruler, young man, young ruler,

21:13

rich man, he said please go go and

21:15

sell everything and come back. Today

21:22

we are looking at a commandment. Take

21:25

me back to the commandment. It's

21:28

in the same chapter by the way. Yes,

21:32

the story I told about

21:35

the man who was bundled out of the

21:37

banquet hall. It's also a Matthew to the

21:39

truth. Take me to that one,

21:42

that story. How

21:45

did you come in here without wearing the wedding

21:48

clothes? That's what I provided for you. And

21:51

the man was speechless and

21:53

without excuse. A day will

21:56

come. You will be without excuse.

21:58

Your poverty will not be and

22:00

excuse. Your prosperity will not be

22:02

an excuse. Your happiness will not

22:04

be an excuse. You will

22:06

be speechless. And

22:10

it says in this same Matthew 22, down, that somebody

22:15

came to ask him, which of

22:18

the commandments is the greatest commandment?

22:22

And Jesus said, thou

22:27

shall love the

22:30

Lord. Thy

22:33

God, thy

22:36

God. Because

22:39

there can be a Lord who is not

22:41

thy God. If

22:44

you are really serious about

22:47

making this Lord thy God,

22:49

then thou shall love him

22:51

with all thy heart.

22:59

All thy soul. All

23:06

thy mind. Some

23:12

translations and some other verses

23:15

will say, all thy mind and

23:18

sense. All. All. All.

23:36

It would be very painful to have a

23:39

boy you have allowed to be in your

23:41

house and you find out

23:43

that he is sleeping with your wife. Yes

23:49

or not? He is probably not sleeping with your wife. Please

24:40

tell a neighbor God doesn't want to share

24:42

you with anyone. The

24:47

boy in the house is

24:54

a trusted house help. It's

25:00

a trusted somebody. God

25:08

has allowed you to have that job. He

25:14

has allowed you to bring a

25:16

wife in. He

25:20

has allowed you to

25:22

bring three children in. He

25:27

allowed it. He

25:29

has allowed you to

25:32

bring a business in. But

25:39

he didn't allow

25:41

the business to come in

25:46

to compete with him. You

25:53

may not know, but there are people who

25:58

cannot get pregnant. with

26:00

a human being. If

26:08

he has opened your womb to

26:14

have three children, I'm

26:16

telling you today, the

26:23

children did not come. If they allow

26:26

the children into their world, he has

26:28

created for you to

26:31

compete with him. That

26:41

is why I'm just

26:46

finished preaching a message called the

26:48

narrow way. Go

26:53

for it. You

26:58

may want to read with me Luke

27:02

14. St.

27:21

James. I'm

27:24

ending very soon. 24, 25, Luke 14, 25.

27:26

Now, it says that,

27:35

and there went great

27:38

multitudes with him. Jesus

27:45

has never made it easy. A

27:51

pastor's dream, a teacher's

27:56

dream is to

27:58

turn and see that crowds

28:00

are following him. When

28:07

Jesus turned, he

28:12

saw crowds. One

28:17

day he turned and

28:19

saw crowds and

28:22

it's taking that these

28:24

guys are hungry. He

28:28

provided food. Every

28:33

leader's passion is

28:36

in having crowds.

28:39

Every leader, in fact, if

28:43

he's a correct leader, he

28:45

would want crowds. The Bible

28:47

says that the honor of

28:49

a king is

28:53

in the multitude of the

28:55

people. Any king

28:57

with a few people has no honor.

29:01

Honor is linked to size.

29:35

Get up from there. You

29:58

also have 10 minutes. to

30:01

get out from there. When

30:13

the king has

30:19

few people, he's

30:21

not respected. And

30:28

sometimes it's not just people. When

30:33

a king rules in a place where nobody

30:36

has a job, there

30:41

are no industries. The

30:45

kings with industries, they laugh at

30:48

them. In

30:53

fact, you must lose a sense

30:55

of shame to be an African president. A

31:00

certain part of your brain should be banned

31:08

for you to be a leader of dust.

31:14

So the honor of a king

31:17

is in the multitude of

31:19

the millionaires. The

31:23

multitude of decent

31:26

nobles. In

31:32

the multitude of people is the

31:34

king's honor. But

31:38

in the want of people is

31:40

the destruction of the prince. So

31:47

a king always

31:50

does things that increase

31:53

the number of people following

31:56

you. If

31:58

you are interested in this. being a

32:01

proper clean. A

32:10

real leader of a bassenter, or

32:13

a fellowship, or a check

32:15

like me, a pastor of a check, the

32:17

things I am doing are to bring

32:20

in more because the more

32:23

people, the more honorable I

32:25

am. Including

32:33

Jesus. He

32:36

began with three disciples.

32:39

By the time he was finished, there were 400. When

32:44

he died, and they were voting for

32:46

a replacement

32:48

for Judas, 120 kids. But

32:51

in the beginning, they were three. In

32:53

fact, it was somebody and his brother that

32:55

a third person joined. Before

32:57

we knew it, the man had organized

33:00

12 of them into his main leaders.

33:05

The increase of numbers

33:08

is a king's honor. So

33:13

Jesus was walking and

33:16

he turned and

33:19

saw a great multitude of people.

33:30

Listen to what he told them. He

33:35

has never made anything easy. If

33:37

you are having it easy, it means you

33:39

have chosen the path to destruction. The

33:43

road to life. Excellent

33:45

and easy road. When

33:49

he turned, he said,

33:51

He said, If

33:54

any man come

33:56

to me. And

34:02

he is not his father. Yoga

34:14

interprets in

34:16

a thousand ways. It ends up with

34:19

hitting father. It's

34:22

not the English way. And

34:27

mother. And

34:31

wife. He

34:34

said why because he was talking about a man.

34:41

If it was to me, he would have

34:43

said, if any man come to me and

34:45

hate not his husband.

34:55

I'm telling you that. He

35:07

just allowed you to

35:10

have a man in your life. That's

35:14

why I'm talking about that guy as somebody has

35:16

brought into his house. And he's having a say

35:18

with his wife in the

35:20

house. And

35:23

because a man in service a weak man, he's not that strong,

35:26

but he's a certain type of person. Maybe

35:29

he's been lost. He

35:34

doesn't care. Because there's

35:36

a time he don't care anymore. But

35:38

I'm just saying that he didn't bring

35:40

the guy to the house or allow

35:43

him into his domestic arrangement for him

35:45

to take his wife also.

35:52

God didn't bring you a job. He

35:55

didn't allow a job into your house,

35:58

into your life to compete. with him.

36:02

Are you married? Yes. Are

36:07

you aware there are women who are not married? Who

36:10

also love God and

36:12

God also loves them or you

36:15

think that every woman has a

36:17

husband. So you have got a

36:19

husband because God blessed

36:22

you with it. But

36:26

the man that do not come

36:28

into your life, God doesn't expect

36:30

that the man will compete with

36:32

him. Why?

36:45

Because he

36:48

expects that you love him with

36:51

all your life. Oh.

36:58

Anything short of all is

37:01

a competition and

37:03

he's a jealous God. He

37:08

doesn't like triangles. God

37:16

gave you an interest in mathematics. Not

37:19

so that mathematics

37:22

will compete with him. So

37:24

now you have to do your PhD. So

37:27

since he has made you a pastor, you

37:29

have to leave Ghana and go to Norway

37:31

to do your PhD.

37:35

He doesn't like competition.

37:41

So he said anybody who is

37:43

coming to love him must

37:46

learn to help. The

38:08

children, the

38:10

pregnancy, nine months pregnancy and

38:12

the baby, you should be

38:15

ready to hate that with

38:17

respect to God. Your

38:19

relationship with your father should

38:21

easily be like hatred. Your

38:42

children, you are my daughter. You

38:48

are my daughter. You are my son. You don't

38:50

have any ideas. The

38:52

love relationship that exists between

38:55

father and son. No.

39:00

That I should hate my son. You

39:04

don't know what

39:13

you are talking about. He

39:19

knows what he is talking about. And

39:35

his brother, this is my sister, my younger sister. This

39:37

is my big brother. I

39:40

should lend to hate him. his

40:01

own life. I'm

40:04

preaching the gospel message to

40:06

you and I'm leaving it to you to

40:09

take it home and flush it

40:12

in the toilet. It

40:15

is not, God

40:17

is not against the

40:19

job you have. But

40:22

if because of that job you

40:25

are ashamed to identify with him,

40:31

you can't attend these services because you

40:34

are a CEO now. Because

40:39

you go to Techie every month. So

40:43

the anointing he gave you to pastor

40:45

a church has been

40:47

relegated to a second-hand

40:49

leader. Then,

40:53

the system. You

41:03

cannot be justified.

41:10

Believe it. Believe

41:13

it. Today,

41:19

I'm engaging you on

41:24

the platform of God's

41:28

expectations. He said, if

41:31

you if you are bringing love, if

41:35

you want to love me, then

41:47

I created marriage. I

41:52

said husbands love your

41:54

wife. I didn't say love your

41:57

wife with your heart. Your

42:10

heart is a special place. It's

42:13

where your life comes from. It's

42:20

not a place to bring a dog. It's

42:22

not a place to put a dog. It's

42:25

not a place to put a woman. It's

42:27

not a place to put a man. Your

42:29

heart is not a place to put children.

42:32

It's a special place. Your life comes from

42:34

your heart. That

42:44

heart, we got it.

42:57

I want to visit a

43:00

couple in this state. Ah, the man is here. He's

43:02

here. I

43:05

was going, this is a

43:08

couple of years ago. I've just been there recently, and

43:10

I still saw it. As I was

43:12

entering the physical room, I saw a room

43:15

with number,

43:20

what do you call it? Access,

43:24

access code with numbers. You

43:27

have to key in something and you enter. What

43:30

is that? Security panel, whatever, those things. If

43:32

Jacobi knows those things. So

43:35

I asked, what is

43:37

this special room? Is

43:39

it a man who has been self-authorized? It's my

43:41

husband's study, or the man said it's my study. Password

43:46

on a study. It's

43:49

not a place that children come

43:51

there. Even I don't go

43:54

there. It's

43:56

a study. He's here. I've seen

43:58

him somewhere. So

44:05

even in our own little

44:09

jurisdictions, there

44:12

are islands we don't allow

44:14

people to enter. Your

44:17

heart is not a place

44:19

your wife enters, or your husband

44:21

enters, or your job enters. It

44:25

is a sanctuary for God. The

44:38

sanctuary for God. The

44:43

sanctuary for God. Love your

44:45

wife. I

44:49

love my children! I

44:59

read very deeply. Obviously

45:11

the heart is not the

45:13

only organ of

45:16

love. There

45:19

must be something else you can also use to love.

45:32

He doesn't like it at all. Once

45:35

he sees that your heart has entered

45:37

your job, and he can't get

45:39

you to send you. He can't get

45:41

you to do outreach. He can't

45:43

get you to be a normal member of a

45:45

church. I mean, you are so big. Your money

45:47

is so big that it's like... You can't hang

45:49

around. No, no, no, no, no. It means your

45:52

heart has gone into it. Solomon's

46:00

mother advised him never

46:03

to give the heart to

46:06

women. Even

46:09

if it's your wife. Yes,

46:11

the Solomon's mother. It's the Bible

46:13

I'm reading. And

46:16

to that which destroys kings.

46:24

So all I've been doing is trying

46:30

to guide your heart. To

46:38

ask God why

46:40

I'm still loving your children. I

46:47

told you last week. The

46:51

Lord kills. The

46:57

Lord is

46:59

a killer. He

47:07

says to you, give

47:09

yourself completely to him. It

47:21

means be ready to drop the bottle at

47:25

his behest. I

47:27

mean, you love him so much that you drop the bottle.

47:31

Abraham was so much in love that he left his father.

47:36

The only

47:38

person he took along, the problem for

47:40

him. Your

47:50

heart. Both

47:54

of you little girls who

47:57

have already begun to see money in

47:59

National. service. So

48:04

you cannot even be a shepherd in

48:06

the text anymore. My pick,

48:08

my pick is with you. It's

48:11

with you. National

48:15

Service salary, 580. You

48:32

are going to stand in front of God and

48:35

He will tell you. That's what I said.

48:39

I don't know. You can also call it a Bible. It's a Bible.

48:43

But I would advise you to call it Holy

48:45

Past Question. Holy

48:48

Past Question. Holy

48:52

Past Question. You

49:10

see, in fact, we

49:13

strive that we may be acceptable

49:15

one day. It's

49:19

beautiful. For

49:21

you, I mean you, not him. You.

49:26

To stand before God one day and say He didn't know

49:28

you. Can

49:31

you bet the only

49:40

way to prevent it

49:48

is to respect Him and

49:50

respect what He says. That's

49:53

why the people who say, enter my

49:56

rest, you go at

49:58

the people before He says, says enter. You

50:01

give the reason. One

50:04

is good. Number

50:06

two is faithful. If

50:08

you bring things, nothing

50:11

can take your heart.

50:18

Nothing. If you don't

50:21

hear good and faithful, you can't hear

50:25

it. Only faithful people like

50:28

David, who are so rich,

50:32

but it doesn't change how they dance. Many

50:40

of us are going to mean if

50:42

we get one thousand of David's gold.

50:56

I don't know if there is somebody listening to me. If

50:59

there is no one listening, then I should end

51:01

the message. I don't know if there is

51:03

anyone listening to me. It's

51:08

true. It's true. It's

51:12

true. I never knew you.

51:15

It never, never means

51:17

that you started

51:19

wrong, you continued wrong

51:22

and you ended wrong. Because

51:26

as far as you are concerned, you could

51:29

share God with things. I

51:33

don't like it. I'm

51:36

jealous. I'm

51:40

jealous. I want

51:43

you to go and have that convention.

51:47

I know you are tired, but

51:51

I need you to preach in that service. Don't

51:54

stay at home. Anybody who wants to learn, you can't

51:58

hear God. love God. But

52:03

hate not just his

52:05

wife or

52:08

his daughter but

52:11

himself. There

52:13

must be a certain dislike. It's as

52:15

if you don't like yourself. This

52:22

week I

52:24

am preaching my ninth service.

52:28

Each of the services is around three hours. This

52:33

is my ninth service this

52:35

week. So

52:47

when you see people who

52:49

are trying to save themselves, save

52:52

their marriages, save, preserve

52:54

themselves, they look very, very,

52:56

very wonderful to him because

52:58

he has already written it

53:00

in English that those people

53:02

who try to save to

53:04

kill themselves would be surprised

53:06

that there's nothing to kill.

53:13

Rather the people who

53:15

gave up themselves, who

53:18

live as if they don't love themselves, there

53:21

are that habit. I

53:28

remember I was

53:31

in a church past spring. Some

53:33

of the members, this type of rich

53:36

people, rich

53:39

old members, unserious,

53:43

unspiritual members were

53:47

saying that I'm

53:49

acting irresponsibly on

53:57

Sundays because I was going to

54:00

home at 12 midnight or 2

54:02

a.m. on Sunday. I

54:04

should be a

54:06

responsible father to be

54:08

in my house and take my children

54:10

through homework and help to even be

54:12

with my wife and

54:18

their children to help them to be with

54:20

them to help with homework and academic things

54:22

and so on. Today,

54:27

recently I was asking

54:29

about the children of one of them. We

54:31

don't know where they are. Some of

54:34

them have created some

54:36

glassy bubble around their

54:39

children. There's nothing inside.

54:46

Those who give up, I'm

54:48

saying to you for my extreme rights,

54:51

the brother standing at the end day and

54:54

the brother standing at the back day,

54:56

everybody will have a chance to hate

54:58

something you must love for

55:01

Jesus. And

55:07

when you take the Bible, you will

55:09

find verses that will tell you to

55:12

love that thing that church

55:14

wants you to hate. God wants you

55:16

to hate. There's a scripture that says,

55:18

love your wife and the Jesus Christ, that

55:20

hates your wife. You

55:30

cannot follow God if you

55:33

lack the ability to hate your children. And

55:47

those who hate your children give

55:58

yourself all all

56:00

of yourself to go. Oh,

56:04

he can take care of you. One

56:07

you give him 87, one you give him

56:11

98% and you keep two. You

56:13

are saying that you don't trust him at all. So

56:15

you have left to just in case the 98

56:17

fail, you can get some to secure your backup

56:22

plan B. Whosoever

56:26

will save his life. Shalom.

56:34

I've

56:39

given you seven things. How

56:44

to give yourself, yourself fully. Believe

56:48

that your life is in your power. Don't

56:53

say somebody is in control of your life.

56:55

Give it number two. Direct

57:06

all your life to love with you. Or

57:11

work as a mess but you are

57:13

loving God. Be

57:26

a rich man by your loving God. Number

57:36

three, build all your friendships. That's

57:41

what it means to give all your heart to him. When

57:44

you see him, what

57:47

is him? Where

57:50

is God? Thou

57:52

shall love the Lord thy God.

57:55

If not Bishop Kobe, we must love with all

57:57

our hearts. It's

58:01

not the Accra water we must love with

58:03

all our hats. It's

58:07

not this $5,000 mobile phone we must love with

58:09

all our hats. It

58:13

is God we must love with all our hats. It

58:16

is who? It is God. So,

58:18

where is he? Where is he? The

58:20

question is, he's got all the hats. Oh, you just came from London.

58:22

What's he in London? He's got all the hats. Oh, you

58:24

just came from London? Oh, yeah, no, no, no. What's

58:26

he in London? No, no, no, no, no. I'm

58:30

looking for

58:33

God, where is he? He might be. You

58:37

might be. Ah,

58:44

you might be. Man,

58:46

where is God? He

58:49

don't know where he is. He's with us. God

58:52

with us. To

59:04

give yourself holy to

59:07

God without leaving

59:09

one's presence to the world

59:13

or build your friendships

59:15

around Christ. So,

59:29

any friend who

59:31

doesn't like Christ cannot be with you.

59:38

We can work. Some of

59:41

the documents will sign up the meeting, go

59:43

on a private jet to King

59:47

Temple for the annual

59:50

GM and all the things. We

59:52

are waiting. But say, friend, my

59:55

friends are around Jesus. You

59:57

cannot be around Jesus. be

1:00:00

my friend. So if you have got

1:00:02

friends who are not around

1:00:04

Jesus, then you are stepped out. I

1:00:15

feel like I just took the message because

1:00:17

good Friday is the human has to go and mobilize.

1:00:25

It's a difficult message to preach because it's

1:00:29

difficult to

1:00:32

move from

1:00:35

one point.

1:00:39

In the book of Acts, the people

1:00:41

of the way, which we call today

1:00:43

Christians, you call people of the way. All

1:00:46

their relationships were around church.

1:00:50

Which is also the next point? The

1:00:54

fourth one is activities. One

1:00:57

is friendships. The

1:01:00

other one is activity. I'm talking about the

1:01:02

person who is 100% house.

1:01:05

All the activities. So you see him in

1:01:07

the hospital. Any money,

1:01:10

working, he said, an engineer

1:01:12

is there. But those activities

1:01:14

are still Christian activities. You

1:01:18

know what? To be

1:01:20

an engineer and be stealing cement. Cement

1:01:25

we are using for the road. You have the better

1:01:27

son to damper. Engineer.

1:01:30

2 a.m.

1:01:35

We are brought to above. Yeah, engineer.

1:01:39

Engineer. Activities

1:01:50

of those who are holy sold

1:01:53

out for God. You see Christ

1:01:55

everywhere. You

1:02:03

see that as you see at

1:02:05

the callers come from

1:02:08

the Basanta member. As

1:02:13

he has worn hair, a gown

1:02:15

or robe is going to caught

1:02:17

his on the phone with a separate hat.

1:02:21

The sun, the sun glass and it wasn't right. Who

1:02:23

put me, connect me, meanwhile he

1:02:25

has what is documented is going to

1:02:27

meet the dad. Connect me to the

1:02:29

keyboard inside now, with David's arms. David,

1:02:34

why you are the Reheza? You are

1:02:37

told I want him. Is this

1:02:39

a lawyer or? I

1:02:42

mean, who is the Reheza? Who is the

1:02:45

Reheza like that? I said

1:02:47

please, I'm coming, I'm coming. Why? How

1:02:49

many Reheza did you have? Then

1:02:54

they come as old, their dad is ready. Why told me I'm

1:02:57

coming? I said David, why? How many

1:03:00

Reheza? My cover wasn't

1:03:04

there. How many Reheza? Hello

1:03:08

Frank is wondering. Come

1:03:10

on Frank, let's go. When

1:03:14

a Muslim is in court, you know

1:03:16

he's a Muslim. He's a Muslim. He's in the

1:03:18

beard and will handle the whole, the whole, the

1:03:21

whole, the whole, the whole. You

1:03:27

are a fake, plastic Christian.

1:03:31

You are not real. And you wait.

1:03:34

Jesus will tell you, he never knew

1:03:36

that you were a Muslim. Number

1:03:42

five. Your

1:03:46

life itself is

1:03:50

a big part of the church. life.

1:04:03

I've got 30 points. I can't progress.

1:04:07

It's been two weeks. Anybody

1:04:35

who doesn't dwell in

1:04:38

the house has

1:04:41

not built a life that

1:04:43

is around Christ. Your

1:04:47

primary aim is to build a life that

1:04:50

revolves around Jesus. Not

1:04:53

that Jesus is revolving around your

1:04:55

beautiful life. And

1:05:00

to have a life that is around such

1:05:03

activities and around God. It

1:05:08

means that church must be in your life

1:05:10

every day. Every

1:05:14

day church. Every

1:05:16

day church. Who

1:05:19

acts? Say, you are

1:05:21

a theologian. Was it not daily? Am

1:05:25

I? The false gospel

1:05:27

is true. They act

1:05:32

too. And

1:05:36

they continued. No, not daily.

1:05:41

Is that 34 or something? Yes,

1:05:49

46. Tim James. Yes.

1:05:55

And they continued. many

1:06:01

of you are further service you are

1:06:03

going to go on break till next

1:06:05

week Sunday I'm not talking about you

1:06:07

and your prayer life Oh

1:06:11

such not

1:06:15

God that you read your Bible at home all

1:06:18

of us I'm in touch with God every day but

1:06:20

I'm talking about every

1:06:32

day they were either in the

1:06:34

church for one kind of

1:06:36

service or the other they

1:06:38

were meeting in your house and keep these

1:06:40

house every

1:06:43

day at

1:06:47

in Savalu

1:06:51

they were

1:06:53

not meeting in church every day but

1:06:58

the church is not changed

1:07:00

the church is

1:07:02

not speakers that I'm saying that

1:07:08

they were not in touch every

1:07:10

day they

1:07:14

were either in touch and

1:07:17

or somebody's house as I

1:07:19

said from house to house so

1:07:22

your life as a Christian go to

1:07:24

school go to work being

1:07:27

the bank but a

1:07:30

part of your day

1:07:32

must be a tight

1:07:34

life day either in

1:07:37

the church for a prayer meeting

1:07:39

the heads are such service miracle

1:07:42

service you are an anti-bless house

1:07:44

but I also but something this

1:07:47

you never got yourself of checkman

1:07:49

best for something that is the

1:07:51

person who's house is

1:07:54

holy so to go fine because

1:07:58

you can never have a relationship with

1:08:00

God without the context

1:08:02

of his house. The

1:08:06

Lord is my shepherd. I

1:08:09

will dwell in your house forever.

1:08:13

That's one, the Lord is my shepherd. That's

1:08:16

it, I will dwell forever. So

1:08:22

you're brand of Christianity

1:08:25

while you appear in the church, give

1:08:28

an offering, not with

1:08:30

a creation. And

1:08:33

the perfect, bad

1:08:36

child. And

1:08:41

when you're close, you are done. Many

1:08:43

of you sitting here, we will never

1:08:46

see you anywhere. There's no underground, there's

1:08:48

no house, there's no farm, there is

1:08:50

nothing church will see you. You

1:08:52

will appear anywhere. So next we stand and say that

1:08:55

you are sitting here. If

1:08:57

God, if

1:08:59

I didn't like it, then you come. And

1:09:03

mine, mine, if you talk to me, I

1:09:11

turn on. If

1:09:13

I've not met anybody, I've met the shepherd.

1:09:16

For the fact of sake. Where to? I

1:09:19

got it. It's sake. It's sake.

1:09:22

It's not real. They are not real.

1:09:24

I mean, local league, local, local. This is my fifth service. I'm

1:09:31

not a one

1:10:02

down there which is part of the sex. It's

1:10:04

like you are like some submarine. So

1:10:18

that they are without excuse, your

1:10:23

poverty, your

1:10:26

busy life, your

1:10:29

pregnancy, your

1:10:31

5th class education, will

1:10:34

never explain it away. You

1:10:38

will never escape. God

1:10:44

will never look at

1:10:46

the uniqueness of your circumstances and

1:10:48

lower the standards for you. These

1:10:51

guys are bringing 100%. You

1:10:53

because you are a busy class teacher and

1:10:55

you go for international

1:10:59

whatever. Let me give you 98, 97, 87,

1:11:01

sort it out. Oh,

1:11:11

you are not a believer. This

1:11:14

is such. Yeah,

1:11:22

I like the way they have given me there. For

1:11:24

the invisible things of him are

1:11:26

clearly seen. Being understood

1:11:29

by the things that are made. Even

1:11:33

the star. So that they

1:11:35

are without excuse. It's true. That

1:11:38

thing that I made, I can see. Politics.

1:11:42

Like working in the

1:11:45

bank. I now, even banks, on

1:11:48

Saturday, they go for funerals. In

1:11:50

fact, in fact, in fact, I travel

1:11:52

to Kmasi on Wednesday. I

1:11:54

went to the bank. One of

1:11:56

the by the way, I'm sure about kind

1:11:59

of the. out of

1:12:03

the gate and her brother came. I

1:12:06

said, how are you? I don't

1:12:08

know you. I said, oh, I

1:12:11

know you. I know you. Can

1:12:15

I take a picture with you? I

1:12:18

said, why not? So I got up. Where

1:12:21

are you? So we are in this

1:12:23

bank and we are going to the forest

1:12:27

to some mining concessions.

1:12:33

I thought bank, the building, you collect money,

1:12:35

you fill a form. It's

1:12:37

going visitation. Bankers

1:12:40

are going on visitation. A

1:12:42

Christian sister. You have never spent

1:12:44

your fuel, your time, your energy

1:12:47

to sit in somebody's house, not because

1:12:49

a person owes you or the person

1:12:51

is mine, your son or the person

1:12:53

needs whatever. But that's just you. I'm

1:12:56

a black worker. The

1:13:09

things we see around. Help

1:13:16

us to understand how

1:13:18

to work with God. So

1:13:21

nobody and it gets worse

1:13:23

when I'm preaching to you in English. You

1:13:26

have no telling about you have no excuse. You

1:13:29

can pretend you don't care. I pretend my

1:13:31

mother has died or my father has died.

1:13:33

I just

1:13:35

got divorced. My son died. Oh, I

1:13:38

am like this. My

1:13:40

my my my message came last night.

1:13:43

Hey, nobody is. Without

1:13:48

this. No

1:13:56

more photos. All

1:13:58

the last one. You

1:14:02

cannot point to people. I'm

1:14:05

going to write that point again properly.

1:14:08

There's some JHS, person who has written the

1:14:10

point. If you cannot point to people and

1:14:14

things you have left

1:14:16

behind to follow Jesus, then you

1:14:18

have not given all of yourself to Him. To

1:14:22

follow Jesus, say, is it

1:14:24

madam? Is it say, madam? To

1:14:30

follow Jesus, there should

1:14:32

be friends you have broken off. Or

1:14:37

things you have stopped. Is this

1:14:39

your phone? Whose phone? Show

1:14:43

me the music on it. It's

1:14:46

off. Always it's off. Hello?

1:14:53

I'm ending. I

1:14:57

know you don't like me. I

1:14:59

know you don't like a message. But

1:15:01

listen to me. Anybody

1:15:03

who cannot... In fact, you

1:15:05

can't even boast. Something

1:15:10

you should do. Not

1:15:15

your boast in the Lord. How

1:15:21

can you boast? When

1:15:25

you cannot point to anything, any

1:15:28

life you have forsaken

1:15:32

because of Jesus, any

1:15:35

type, brand of book you

1:15:38

don't read again because of, say,

1:15:40

because of. Say,

1:15:43

because of. Because of. Because

1:15:48

of. Because. Because

1:15:50

of. Because. Can

1:15:57

you point to something you stopped? I'm

1:16:06

preaching the gospel to you.

1:16:08

It's a master. We have

1:16:10

left some of the things

1:16:13

to follow you. We have

1:16:16

left what? Most of the things

1:16:18

we've left. Everybody

1:16:21

read it on the screen. Sorry, our LED

1:16:23

screen is coming soon. But

1:16:26

you read. One go,

1:16:28

one go. No, no,

1:16:31

stop by saying, look at him. I

1:16:38

can't tell you start again. Again.

1:16:48

Yes. Then he got

1:16:50

there. No, I left

1:16:52

off and put on

1:16:55

me any dragon today.

1:16:58

Very I tell you, there

1:17:00

is no man that has left

1:17:02

out of church,

1:17:04

or brethren, or whites,

1:17:07

or children, for the kingdom

1:17:09

of God. Okay. No, no. No,

1:17:12

no. No, no. No,

1:17:15

we cannot go for more

1:17:17

in your present times, and

1:17:20

He is a boy to

1:17:22

come like everlasting. Everlasting

1:17:25

life will never

1:17:27

be handed to what are people who

1:17:30

have left Nathan or some. Yes.

1:17:33

Three men were

1:17:35

feeding you, as you were

1:17:37

feeding them. You've left

1:17:39

to remain the one. There

1:17:42

is nothing like remain the one or remain the

1:17:44

two. How

1:17:48

many things are you supposed to leave? How

1:17:51

many unbelievable songs are

1:17:53

you supposed to leave? How

1:17:57

many pornographic sites are you supposed to leave? How

1:18:01

many Hungarian boyfriends are you supposed

1:18:03

to meet? Today

1:18:18

to Adiran finish. We are going to the next

1:18:20

meeting. We will be

1:18:22

going to the next meeting. We will be going to the next

1:18:24

meeting. But the process has to take

1:18:26

my time. Thank you and take your

1:18:28

time. If

1:18:51

you don't like it, don't come. The

1:18:59

title of the message is

1:19:01

Give Thyself Home. You

1:19:04

can clap your hands. You are not

1:19:08

too too careful.

1:19:11

You are not too too careful. Think

1:19:18

of baby. She's a

1:19:21

take-hold of me. I'm

1:19:24

holding nothing back. I'll

1:19:28

give myself to thee.

1:19:32

Although I need not know.

1:19:36

She's all I need. I'll give

1:19:38

myself to thee. I'll give myself

1:19:41

to thee. I'll

1:19:46

give myself to thee. I'll

1:19:50

give myself to thee.

1:19:52

I'll give myself to

1:19:54

thee. I'm

1:19:57

holding nothing back. How

1:20:00

do you feel? For

1:20:06

all of us? For

1:20:09

all of me? For all

1:20:11

of me? That

1:20:14

you can take me? For

1:20:21

all of me? For

1:20:24

all of me? For

1:20:29

all of me? For

1:20:32

all of me? For

1:20:37

all of me? For

1:20:41

all of me? For

1:20:45

all of me? For

1:20:49

the love of my mother?

1:20:52

For me? For

1:20:55

the love of my

1:20:58

mother, For

1:21:01

the love of my mother?

1:21:09

For the

1:21:11

love of

1:21:13

my mother?

1:21:16

For the love of my mother? We

1:21:31

don't need to make it to politics. We

1:21:33

don't need to make it to politics. I

1:21:35

wish but we are sentient. Oh,

1:21:38

then I'm relaxed. How can

1:21:40

I do that to you, you are sentient as well? That's

1:21:46

a little bit better, it's very good news. Thank

1:21:53

you. Thank

1:21:56

you. Cappo!

1:22:04

And it's why it's yours or things! Do

1:22:32

1:22:54

she's the girl from...

1:22:57

Wrecking Hill! I

1:23:10

will not

1:23:12

let you go I

1:23:18

will not let

1:23:20

you go I

1:23:26

will not let you go

1:23:29

I will not let you go

1:23:59

Thank you for watching! 23 APATEC..

1:24:07

2 small What

1:24:30

a beautiful service. I'm

1:24:32

really encouraged by Bishop Chubbies. Sometimes

1:24:41

I feel I don't teach well.

1:24:45

So I'm encouraged by him. I'm

1:24:48

very encouraged by him. As

1:24:55

every head is bowed, and

1:24:58

every eye is closed, you've

1:25:01

heard something today. Jesus'

1:25:04

broken life is a big difference. It's

1:25:07

only in the University of Ghana. That

1:25:09

92% is first class. God

1:25:16

is 100%. Take it or

1:25:18

lead it. It's 18. The

1:25:23

those who come to him must

1:25:25

believe that he is, and that

1:25:27

he will reward every effort you take to come

1:25:29

closer to him. As

1:25:31

every head is bowed, you want to say, plus

1:25:35

pray for me, I want to

1:25:37

give my life to Jesus. If

1:25:39

you are here like that, lift your hand, I'm going to pray. I'll

1:25:42

lead you to come close to Jesus,

1:25:45

to make him your master, your Lord. Pastor,

1:25:49

I want to work with Jesus. Lift your hand. If

1:25:51

you want me to pray this simple prayer with you,

1:25:53

let it high. I can't see

1:25:55

your hand. Pastor, I want

1:25:57

to be born again. I

1:26:00

want to surrender to Jesus. I

1:26:02

want him to come into my life. It's

1:26:05

the hand of God. Come

1:26:07

to me here in front. Come here. Come

1:26:10

here. I want to pray with you. Come

1:26:13

here. I want to pray with you. If

1:26:17

there's no one, no one. It's

1:26:20

all right. Where

1:26:30

do you want me? Sorry?

1:26:36

I'm sorry now my life is okay. Is

1:26:45

there anybody here who wants to join him? He can

1:26:47

come now. This

1:26:49

is the most important decision in his life. No

1:26:53

decision in life is higher

1:26:55

than this. If you want to

1:26:57

join this boy. God

1:27:12

bless you sir. God

1:27:23

bless you. God bless you. God

1:27:27

bless you. God

1:27:29

bless you sir. It's

1:27:33

a God. In this tradition, God is to

1:27:35

live. It's a God. A

1:27:39

young God. God is going to be great things

1:27:41

with your life. But it starts with this

1:27:44

decision. Is

1:27:46

he coming? Is that girl coming?

1:27:49

Is that girl? But

1:27:52

she knew it. Come on baby.

1:28:01

Oh, I need the

1:28:03

Jesus to call

1:28:05

me I'm

1:28:08

holding nothing but I'll

1:28:11

do nothing to you For

1:28:16

the warning of love Just

1:28:20

for the future and

1:28:22

the hope I

1:28:24

have to, to take all

1:28:41

I'm not saying I'm a girl Who

1:28:44

wants to commit suicide I

1:28:47

just told you, if you fear Then

1:28:51

God will say to you, come

1:28:53

to me here My

1:29:02

telling you is

1:29:04

to show you that God is interested in you But

1:29:08

you want again to

1:29:11

come or not to come is up to you I'm waiting

1:29:14

for you You are suffering

1:29:16

from depression The

1:29:19

first step to take is salvation

1:29:23

That's a good idea I'm

1:29:25

waiting for you Don't come

1:29:27

and see me, I've got it Just

1:29:31

for the future and the hope

1:29:35

I'll do nothing to

1:29:37

you And

1:29:42

to say this after me This

1:29:45

is just you To have any

1:29:48

friends I thank you For

1:29:51

the days and days I gave my

1:29:53

son I want

1:29:55

to follow you I want to

1:29:57

love you I like giving my

1:29:59

life Make me your

1:30:02

child. I will make you my master. I

1:30:04

will make you my master. I will make

1:30:07

you my Lord. I

1:30:09

am good with that. Stop.

1:30:13

Walking with you. Reading my Bible.

1:30:17

Reading my Bible. Bobaing

1:30:19

you. Thank you today.

1:30:24

In Jesus. Asher.

1:30:34

Asher. I

1:30:38

am God. Are

1:30:55

you related to my transaction? I

1:31:00

am God. I

1:31:07

can't actually join them. These

1:31:13

pastors are going to visit you. They

1:31:16

are not their brothers. They

1:31:19

were also like you. Even

1:31:22

in church, they were wearing a mallet of

1:31:24

t-shirts. But

1:31:26

God changed them. He

1:31:30

changed them. And the life

1:31:32

they are enjoying. Asher

1:31:36

sometimes I am. The

1:31:40

life they are enjoying. They

1:31:43

will help you to enjoy that life. They

1:31:46

will visit you. They

1:31:48

will teach you from the Bible how

1:31:51

to be a Christian. My

1:31:58

God, that's much of what we are living in. I

1:32:39

I are

1:32:54

one you

1:33:35

know you

1:33:43

know as bishop was ending the message

1:33:46

the question that came into my mind was so

1:33:49

without such a teaching how

1:33:53

would we ever have understood how to give

1:33:55

ourselves home and

1:33:59

I they you know tole for And we said,

1:34:01

how can I accept a man

1:34:03

explain it to me? We

1:34:08

are only on number seven, oh. Today

1:34:11

is Sunday, we are not going to cross number

1:34:13

seven. So

1:34:16

how would you and I have understood how

1:34:19

to give ourselves only? That's

1:34:22

why I told you that you

1:34:24

are extremely privileged to be in a

1:34:26

place where there's an anointed

1:34:28

servant of God. He speaks

1:34:30

the mind of God, he speaks the peace to

1:34:33

us. You

1:34:39

may not know it, but the

1:34:41

things you are hearing in these messages,

1:34:43

they are very rare. Whether

1:34:46

in Africa, Asia, Australia, pastors don't preach

1:34:49

these things anymore. I'm telling you, I've

1:34:51

told you before, it's very difficult to

1:34:53

look at a congregation and preach these

1:34:55

messages. It's very hard. You

1:34:57

don't know what it means when you're preaching and people are quiet. It's

1:35:02

very difficult, but I

1:35:04

thank God that we have a pastor who

1:35:06

week after week, oh yeah.

1:35:09

Oh yeah, God gives to us here in

1:35:12

the living bed cathedral, week after week is

1:35:14

sharing with us the heart of God. The

1:35:18

message is sometimes they are hard though. They

1:35:21

are hard because some of you have a trusted

1:35:24

Paddy from childhood, but

1:35:28

she has not been inside a church in

1:35:30

the last seven years. You

1:35:32

know it as you are standing here. Trusted

1:35:35

Paddy, yeah with her,

1:35:37

when she has a problem, she calls you when

1:35:39

you have a problem, you call her. She

1:35:41

has not darkened the doorway of a church in

1:35:44

seven years. Neither does she own a Bible. As

1:35:49

we are talking, she's sleeping. In

1:35:51

an hour she'll get up and dress and go to the beach. That's

1:35:54

your trusted Paddy. The

1:35:57

rest I will not say it is up to you. But

1:36:00

I think I want you to clap your hands

1:36:02

one more time But I tell you you have

1:36:04

heard the message of Al-Aqar Today's message is like

1:36:06

every week is rather than the previous week Bishop,

1:36:10

wow I was

1:36:12

just telling Pastor Benji that I don't see how we

1:36:14

are going to progress beyond their seven points Because even

1:36:17

this one we have not really gone into their point

1:36:19

I don't know if you can tell that we have

1:36:21

not really entered their seven points well Like today we

1:36:23

didn't really enter number 6 and 7 We

1:36:26

have not entered number 6 and 7 But

1:36:29

Bishop, God bless you for hearing

1:36:31

from God and telling us

1:36:33

the mind of God And

1:36:36

teaching us I

1:36:38

am learning an awful lot When

1:36:44

they say give thy cell phone I thought

1:36:46

the scripture was simple Clap

1:36:51

your hands one more time I don't even know

1:36:53

what to say I don't

1:36:55

know what I was talking about And

1:37:01

take your communion bridge Let's

1:37:03

take the communion I

1:37:25

want to see you have bread in your hand

1:37:27

lifted up I want you to come to

1:37:30

church with your bread I was not allowed to say

1:37:32

that So if you have your bread

1:37:34

lifted up I want to see you go through this

1:37:45

It is better today There

1:37:48

are people in my group, my column here You

1:37:50

did not mind me Now

1:37:53

listen Jesus

1:38:00

Christ remind us all is that God

1:38:02

is not into halfway things He

1:38:05

gave us all He

1:38:08

gave us all he gave his only

1:38:10

begotten son and that son came

1:38:12

to die for us so much So that they

1:38:14

even pierced his side for all the blood to

1:38:16

drain us out. There will be no doubt that

1:38:18

he had given everything Then

1:38:22

he himself He

1:38:24

spoke and said now it

1:38:26

is finished It's finished the

1:38:28

blood is finished the energy

1:38:30

is finished the life is finished to me

1:38:38

He gave us all for us today

1:38:41

ask me remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ A

1:38:45

grace is coming up on you

1:38:47

to follow God with your whole

1:38:49

heart Everything

1:38:57

in my me I've given it the

1:38:59

body of Jesus Christ The

1:39:13

blood signifies the light As

1:39:15

the blood drained out of the body of

1:39:18

Jesus Christ. It meant

1:39:20

that he had given his

1:39:22

entire life today as

1:39:26

we remember that sacrifice on the cross

1:39:29

May you also give

1:39:31

your life and Only

1:39:34

that wonder when you stand before God In

1:39:37

judgment, you'll be able to say that

1:39:39

1:39:42

1:40:00

you from

giving yourself holy. I

1:40:04

can't stop saying now in the name of Jesus.

1:40:06

Every voice

1:40:10

1:40:12

1:40:15

a part of yourself. I
