Transcript
- 0:02We give you all the glory. We give you all.
- 0:11Now we give you. All.
- 0:17The glory we give you. All Jesus we give you.
- 0:50Savior, we give you be love we give you.
- 1:44Almighty God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the ancient of
- 1:54this, the unchangeable changer, glory be to your holy name.
- 2:03We thank you for all you've done for this ministry up to this
- 2:09moment. We thank you for what you will
- 2:12begin to do from now on. Father, please accept our thanks
- 2:17in Jesus name tonight. Father, please send your word.
- 2:26Heal the sick. Set the captives free.
- 2:33Do marvelous things tonight. Let everyone of us go home with
- 2:41at least one testimony. In Jesus mighty name we have
- 2:50prayed. Amen.
- 2:57Well, let someone shout Hallelujah.
- 3:06They can be one or two people and say God is going to surprise
- 3:10you tonight. I want to thank the Almighty God
- 3:28for giving me this uncommon opportunity that an apostle can
- 3:39invite a pastor. So come and preach.
- 3:56Well, you may not fully understand.
- 4:01You see, the gap between a pastor and a Bishop is like the
- 4:11gap between the earth and the moon.
- 4:17The gap between a pastor and an Archbishop is like the gap
- 4:25between the earth and the sun, the gap between the pastor and
- 4:34an apostle. I mean, a pastor can preach an
- 4:59apostle. We only communicate and
- 5:06communication is far, far superior to preach it.
- 5:14I mean, there was 1 occasion in America and somebody invited me
- 5:28to a program and it happened that our apostle was also
- 5:39invited and it was the first one to preach.
- 5:48And he communicated so mightily that day that we were all
- 5:55together so mightily that he took the mass choir to bring us
- 6:04back to the earth. And then one funny fellow took
- 6:11the microphone and said our next speaker is Pastor Debris.
- 6:19I said no lie. And then he went on to say
- 6:29Pastor Kulia Jae who minister before I will come up.
- 6:36Fortunately I was sitting next to the organizer.
- 6:40I told the organizer, I said no be meal.
- 6:46An apostle has just communicated.
- 6:49What is a pastor going to say? Do you want to disgrace me and a
- 6:59fellow? Say no, Sir, we are not asking
- 7:02you to preach. We are asking you to give a
- 7:05father's blessing. I said.
- 7:07He said. I said OK, So what I'm doing
- 7:12tonight is to bring a father's blessing.
- 7:25So if you are waiting for heavy stuff, wait for the apostle.
- 7:32I will just say a little bit and then give the Father's blessing
- 7:37and run away. I'm happy they are recording
- 7:40this in heaven so I will remember the day an apostle
- 7:45invited a pastor to the stadium to come and preach.
- 8:00Mark chapter 3 from verse 13 to 15.
- 8:07Mark chapter 313 to 15. And he goeth up onto a mountain.
- 8:17That's the largest of Christ went up to a mountain, and
- 8:22calleth unto him whom he would. And they came unto him, and he
- 8:28ordained 12 that they should be with him, and that he might send
- 8:34them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses,
- 8:43and to cast out devils. We've been asked to speak on the
- 8:50mandate, and I'm sure we understand by that, that we are
- 8:57talking about the assignment that Jesus Christ gave to his
- 9:04disciples, which is to preach the gospel, win souls, heal the
- 9:12sick, cast out demons, etcetera, etcetera.
- 9:22We need to know that the call precedes the mandate.
- 9:34God has to call you first to himself before he can then say
- 9:43go ahead, do this for me. So the call precedes the
- 9:49mandate. That is why I want to talk
- 9:53briefly about the call tonight. The apostles, the bishops who
- 10:00will come later on, will go to the deeper level of the mandate.
- 10:12Many people don't even want to hear anything about the mandate.
- 10:20They think being born again, coming to church, following
- 10:29Jesus Christ, it's already good enough.
- 10:36That's why you find that majority of people in any
- 10:42Christian organization, we never get to the level of a worker.
- 10:51They will be satisfied to come to church, satisfied to shout
- 10:57Hallelujah when you ask them to shout, satisfied to give their
- 11:02offerings. But if you ask them to join a
- 11:09group of people who are soul winners, they will just smile at
- 11:14you. I said thank you very much. 1st
- 11:20and foremost, before we talk about God giving you a mandate
- 11:28is that he must first of all call you to himself.
- 11:36Like the text we read. He went up to a Monty and called
- 11:42to himself those whom he wishes. Now it is interesting that not
- 11:51all that is called, we hear the call.
- 12:01This is because Proverbs chapter 20 verse 12.
- 12:05Proverbs 20 verse 12 said it clearly.
- 12:10The hearing here, as well as the seeing eye, they are made by
- 12:17God. In other words, the fact that
- 12:21you have eyes does not mean you will see.
- 12:30The fact that you have ears does not mean that you will hear.
- 12:37Particularly when God is the one call Him, He takes a step beyond
- 12:48the ordinary to hear the voice of God saying, come, I have a
- 12:56rough idea that the reason you are here tonight is because God
- 13:02has decided to open your ears and from today onward, in the
- 13:08mighty name of Jesus, you will be hearing from God.
- 13:17Now it's not all who here who respond.
- 13:24God may be beckoning to you tonight say hey, come, I want to
- 13:32give you a mandate. I want to give you an assignment
- 13:37and you may tell him, thank you very much.
- 13:39Lord, I am. I'm satisfied as I am because
- 13:46many of the people that God would would love to use, would
- 13:53love to give a mandate to may want to come and do what God is
- 14:04calling them to do, expecting that there will be financial
- 14:14gain. I've heard of him federal who,
- 14:22who started the church and when they asked him, how can you?
- 14:27You don't you don't even know the Bible very well.
- 14:31He said, I, I tried to Lurie, I failed.
- 14:36I tried something else. I failed.
- 14:40I saw one young man who came after me started a church.
- 14:44Now he's riding a car. So I said maybe I too should try
- 14:49that. If you are thinking of
- 14:54responding to the call of God for financial reasons, I can
- 15:03assure you, you are heading for failure sooner or later.
- 15:10Not all who here will respond correctly.
- 15:19You can ask people like the Hazai.
- 15:23He was called but he ended up a leper.
- 15:29You can ask Judas Iscariot, he was called.
- 15:35As a matter of fact, he was the treasurer of our Lord Jesus
- 15:38Christ. But you know I ended.
- 15:44Not everybody who will hear the call will be willing to give
- 15:55what it requires to handle the mandate that God will give him
- 16:06correctly. Some of you will hear the call
- 16:12tonight. My prayer is that you will be
- 16:17willing to pay the price because to hear the call to be willing
- 16:30to run with the mandate is going to cost you something.
- 16:38First King chapter 19 from verse 19 to 21.
- 16:42First Kings 1919 to 21 tells us when Elijah had the call
- 16:53immediately he was willing to let go everything so that when
- 17:03the time comes for him to Ron, we demanded he will have nothing
- 17:12to distract him. You hear from somebody like
- 17:18Philip Paul saying Philippians chapter 3 from verse 7 to 10
- 17:23Philippians 3 seven to 10. He made it clear to us He let go
- 17:29everything so that they might know Him and the power of His
- 17:40resurrection. Not all will be ready for the
- 17:50rigors of higher responsibilities.
- 18:01There are people who are here tonight.
- 18:04God brought you here, not a joke.
- 18:12He brought you here tonight because your destiny is about to
- 18:18change and He will have to do some work on you even before
- 18:30tomorrow morning. And that includes some of us who
- 18:38are already ministers of God. Because in Isaiah chapter 6 from
- 18:44verse 1 to 8. Isaiah chapter 6 from verse 1 to
- 18:488. Isaiah had been prophesying
- 18:53long, long before King Guzzah died.
- 18:59He is the one who said in I said chapter 3 verse 10, say ye to
- 19:07the righteous, he shall be well with him as a Teresa tere.
- 19:11He has been prophesying, but a day came like tonight when he
- 19:22saw God and then he saw himself. He saw how dirty he was, a whole
- 19:34prophet, national prophet, so how dirty he was and cried to
- 19:42God for help and God put him to pieces and cleanse him with
- 19:51fire. So nice meeting.
- 19:57Like I told you, I'm not here to preach.
- 20:00Those who will do the preaching are coming.
- 20:05Tonight's meeting is a message to somebody that God is about to
- 20:10promote, and that fellow must be ready for a kiss with fire.
- 20:24That fellow must be ready for complete purification.
- 20:32That's all right. Glory be to God.
- 20:37A fire is falling somewhere there.
- 20:39So. But don't, don't, don't let that
- 20:46bother you. We're here for an appointment
- 20:55with the one whose name is the consuming fire.
- 21:03Among those who will be willing to go higher, we will still find
- 21:19that not all who will start well can finish well.
- 21:34When you read Philemon chapter one verse 23, Philemon 123, you
- 21:41find a man called Dimas. He was an assistant apostle of
- 21:48all. He has gone far, but by the time
- 21:55you get to Second Timothy chapter 4, verse 10, Second
- 21:59Timothy chapter 4, verse 10, Paul said the Mass has forsaken
- 22:09me. Having loved the present world
- 22:18there, there's a serious message for those of us who are already
- 22:28in the ministry, who are already making waves, who are already
- 22:38thinking we have arrived. That's as we move towards the
- 22:47end of the age, we need to be far, far more careful than we
- 22:57have been. The Bible may declare he who
- 23:08thinks he stands must take heed lest he falls.
- 23:18It's my prayer tonight that everyone of you here, we remain
- 23:28steadfast in the very end. Now those who finish well will
- 23:42be crowned. Those who finish well will be
- 23:51crowned. Second Timothy chapter 4, verse
- 23:576 to 8. Second Timothy 4, verse 6 to 8.
- 24:04Paul finished well, and he said now he was ready for coronation.
- 24:17Thank God, he added, not for him alone, but for at least some of
- 24:26us who are here one day, we too, we wear a crown.
- 24:39Now forgive me, I told you that this is a pastor preaching and
- 24:50you might not get what you will be expecting.
- 24:55But the reason I came, like I said, is to give a Father's
- 25:00blessing because those who God will call, those who hear the
- 25:13call, those who will respond correctly, those who will be
- 25:24willing to pay the price for higher responsibilities will be
- 25:35equipped. And it's for that equipment that
- 25:45you may get that equipment. That's why I'm here tonight.
- 25:59God will not give you an assignment that He will not
- 26:06empower you adequately to fulfill.
- 26:18When He called those people in the text that I read to you,
- 26:22Mark chapter 3 from verse 13 to 15, He stated clearly He wanted
- 26:32to empower them to heal, to set up history in order was to
- 26:44perform miracles, science and wonders.
- 26:55When Saul of Tasos was marked down on the road to Damascus in
- 27:05Acts of the Apostles Chapter 9 from verse one to 22, at the
- 27:18moment he said, yes, Lord, I surrender.
- 27:22Lord God I arranged for him to be empowered.
- 27:31God, I arranged for one young disciple and an I am by name to
- 27:39go and lay hands on him that he might be over, that might be
- 27:47filled with the Holy Spirit. I will be delighted.
- 28:00My heart will will overflow with joy if all of us who are here
- 28:08tonight are empowered by the Almighty God for the purpose of
- 28:22running with the mandate. We have reached a stage in the
- 28:30history of the world that without signs and wonders, the
- 28:41work of the gospel may not be done.
- 28:48There are all manners of religions, all manners of even
- 29:00scientific discoveries that unless you have a superior
- 29:08power, if you say you are going to rely on oratory to win souls
- 29:18for the Lord, you will fail. And the end is near.
- 29:28We need to walk faster. We will need power and in the
- 29:40name that's above every other name, you will get power
- 29:45tonight. Maybe I give you just one
- 29:53example and then it will be time to pray.
- 30:03I was just sorry to disturb you. If you find anybody manifesting
- 30:10is because the power is already flowing.
- 30:24Several years ago, we wanted to start a branch of the Egyptian
- 30:31Center of God in Holland, and our ambassador in that country
- 30:43that time happened to be a member of the church.
- 30:49So when I arrived for the elongation of the church, he
- 30:55decided to invite all the ambassadors to his house for a
- 31:02dinner. So I can use the opportunity to
- 31:07to introduce this also them. And I preached, I preached my
- 31:16heart out about how God loved the world and he gave his only
- 31:22begotten Son, etcetera, etcetera.
- 31:31At the end of the day one ambassador raised up her hand
- 31:35and said, what is God? You means all along I've been
- 31:45talking about God and about his Son and you are thinking God is
- 31:49a thing. What is God?
- 31:54Is it a kind of electricity or what?
- 32:02The following day we were to have an outreach and they came
- 32:12and the the old place was cold. They just came because they
- 32:20respected those who invited them.
- 32:26Thank you, Lord, I will soon clear out of the way and all of
- 32:34a sudden somebody they brought from the hospital with all
- 32:40manners of gadgets round about it told the people who brought
- 32:46him. I thought you said that if I
- 32:49come here I'll be healed. Was all this dancing and singing
- 32:54that I'm in pain, took me away, take me back to the hospital.
- 33:01And I was just taking the microphone as he moved towards
- 33:09the gate. I haven't done any preaching.
- 33:14The power of God came down and he got completely healed.
- 33:22That after the healing there was no need for preaching.
- 33:33I want you to know, my brethren, God is already moving.
- 33:41Something is already happening. The question is, are you willing
- 33:54to answer the call of God tonight?
- 33:57Are you willing to say to God I am here?
- 34:06Whatever you want me to do, I will do it.
- 34:11Wherever you want me to go, I will go.
- 34:15I will obey you. Thank you, my Father.
- 34:27Maybe I should just go ahead now and say those of you who want to
- 34:33be empowered for the assignments that God has in store for you,
- 34:44that you can stand and just take a step towards the altar as a
- 34:52sign of surrender and I will pray for you.
- 34:58And we let the Holy Spirit do the rest.
- 35:02You can come forward if you want to or wherever you are, you can
- 35:08just lift your hands to the Almighty God and say, Lord, I
- 35:13can hear your voice and I'm ready to say yes, Lord, I'm
- 35:19ready to do whatever you want me to do.
- 35:25I'm ready to pay any price. Please empower me tonight.
- 35:31Just go ahead and talk to the Almighty God for a few minutes
- 35:39and then I will pray for you. Leave your hands for Him and
- 35:46just go ahead and let God do what He wants to do in your life
- 35:53tonight. He will empower you by that
- 35:59power is for to be used for His glory.
- 36:06Go ahead tell Him I'm ready for you.
- 36:12Lord, empower me. Do what you alone can do.
- 36:23Help me, Oh Lord, help me. Oh Lord, go ahead, open your
- 36:31mouth and cry unto him. Lord, I am here, I am willing.
- 36:44I will do your will. Whatever you want me to do for
- 36:52you from now on, I will do it, Lord.
- 37:00Yes. Go ahead.
- 37:03Talk to him. Talk to him.
- 37:13I'm ready for your power, Lord. I'm ready to do whatever you
- 37:19want me to do. Thank your Father.
- 37:28Go ahead, talk to him. Give him glory.
