[0:45] What am I supposed to talk about? No, no, no. That's what. Zafana Panias next week. God didn't give me the chance. You don't even know what it means.

[0:56] Yes, I know. I want to try and talk about co-laboring with God.

[1:17] So we are co-laborers. Co-laboring with God. Laboring together with God.

[1:30] Laboring together with God. Laboring together with God. Thank you, Jesus. May I take this opportunity to draw your attention to the fact that God, right from Genesis, had a building in mind because he's a builder.

[1:57] It feels like God is into real estate. God is a builder. God is a builder. And right from Genesis, his intention has been to build a house.

[2:15] But as I said previously, no one ever knew about that intention of God. For some reason, Jacob keyed into that by revelation.

[2:33] When he encountered God for the first time, even when he had not really changed, he was carrying the blessing and he encountered God. And when he woke up in Genesis chapter 28, verse 17, 18, 19, 20, he said, this is no other place, no other place than this is none other than the house of God.

[3:05] As I told you the other time, isn't it interesting that someone whose family life, family, in his family life since he was born, nobody has lived in the house.

[3:20] So they lived in tents. How come he's talking about a house? He himself was, as it were, a fugitive. He ran away from his father's tent, and was going to his uncle, and obviously he'll be living in tents.

[3:34] How come he's talking about a house? It must be by supernatural insights and revelation. So he said, this is none other but the house of God.

[3:47] And he said, this is none other but the house of God. Joker was already talking about the house of God. Wow. Because God from the beginning has always had a house in place.

[3:58] One of the things I keep telling people is that you have to, the Bible is only, it's only the Bible who can, that can tell you how things began.

[4:16] All other things are assumptions, propositions, and theories. The Bible doesn't talk about theories. there's no, there's no, there's no one claim in scripture that has been successfully disproved by any intellectual ever.

[4:40] No one claim in scripture. Before, I think it's, it's Galileo who discovered, found out that the earth was round.

[4:54] The scriptures, Isaiah was talking about the circles of the earth, thousands, it was the church which didn't have revelation to read the Bible very well. So that, then church thought the earth was flat.

[5:05] The Catholic church thought the earth was flat because they had not actually read the Bible very well. Because Isaiah said God sits on the circles of the earth. Isaiah was thousands of years before even Christ.

[5:16] so the Bible spoke about things that, Bible spoke about evolution. Not evolution, I'm sorry.

[5:28] Evaporation. Before they discovered evaporation. Bible spoke about, so the Bible, I think Abraham Lincoln, one of the American presidents, died because he contracted a blood disease.

[5:39] They found that the disease was in his blood so they decided to drain out all his blood to give him a new one. Little did they know that life of a human being or everything is in their blood.

[5:51] So when they drain out their blood, they drain out his life, he died. But Bible said in Deuteronomy, over 4,000 years before then, before scientists later found out that the life is in their blood, Bible said the life of a thing is in their blood.

[6:07] Leviticus, sorry. Leviticus chapter 11, 17, or 17, 11. The life of a thing is in their blood. So, nothing, no one, no one, living or dead has ever been able to disprove claims of scripture.

[6:23] Scripture has several claims and scripture makes, the scripture has different books. Some is poetry, some is history, much of it is history. The historicity of scripture has never been disproved by any historian.

[6:39] So, every historical record the scriptures gave are accurate. So, the point here is that if the scriptures spoke about Moses, spoke about Pharaoh, spoke about Daniel, spoke about Jesus, spoke about Paul, spoke about all these great people and you can't deny their existence even though none of us was there, but history and extra biblical history proves that they ever lived.

[7:08] Now, what makes you think that the other things the scriptures said are wrong? Because, so far, the things you can prove, actually, history, secular history proves that all the things the scriptures said are true.

[7:24] Nothing has been disproved yet. So, the ones you haven't been able to disprove, why do you think that is not true? On what grounds? When, when I say this is a Bible and you say it's not a Bible, the responsibility lies on you to disprove that it's a Bible, it's not my responsibility to prove that it's a Bible.

[7:43] Because, to be honest, it's more difficult to falsify than to verify. I know some people didn't understand it.

[7:55] It's a much, it requires much more intellectual exercise to falsify. Some of you who know how to lie, you have to, to falsify, this is a lot complicated.

[8:05] Because, you can be found out easily. But, to verify is easy. If someone is lying, just investigate, you'll find out. But, to falsify is much more difficult.

[8:17] So, for the scriptures to falsify is difficult. If you want to verify, it's easier on your part to verify than on our part to falsify. Why did I have to say it?

[8:28] So, then, if the, you see, every historian, and it's been proven that Jesus was a great teacher and there was nothing he said that anyone has proved that it's wrong.

[8:41] So, then, if all the good things he said, all the things he said are true, and most of the things so far, what makes you think that the other things he said about heaven, which science cannot discover, is wrong?

[8:55] In the same way, you were not there when your grandmother was born, were you? How about your father? No, you were not there when he was born. How, how much more when the earth was formed?

[9:11] Nobody was there. But the scripture tells us how God formed it. Because God revealed it to Moses and Moses had to document it.

[9:24] So, the scripture contains the beginning of life, humanity, to the end of humanity. You want to know how things will end?

[9:36] It's already said. It's already in Revelations. It's, you see, the best science can do is predict the weather.

[9:47] Weather forecast. Apart from that, what else? And if it's sometimes, we get it wrong. So, from Genesis to Revelations, God has documented everything about his plan for humanity.

[10:09] How things began, how things end. So, it's not good enough to know about Genesis. It's necessary to know about Revelations.

[10:22] Am I making a point? So, when you are told how things began, in order to understand why things began, sometimes, it's good to look at how things end.

[10:39] So, he says that, in the beginning, God created man. He created the earth and he made man, formed man in his own image.

[10:49] For what? when you look at how he ended in Revelations. In Revelations chapter 21 verse 3, and I had a loud voice from heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people.

[11:11] God himself will be with them and be their God. Say, with them. This is Revelations chapter 21. The next one is Revelations chapter 22, the last book of the Bible.

[11:23] So, really, this is how things are going to end. How is it going to end? God is going to be with men. Oh, I know you've got God. Verse 1, say, and I saw, now, now I saw a new heaven and a new earth.

[11:40] Say, new heaven, new earth. That means the old one is going, this one is going to be old, a new one is coming. A new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.

[11:53] Also, there was no more sea. It's good. I like that one. One day I'll teach about the significance of sea in scriptures. It's not a good thing. Let's go to the next verse, verse 2.

[12:06] And it says that, then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride, a city prepared as a bride.

[12:20] A city is a bride. Very interesting. Prepared as a bride for her husband. The city has a husband. And when you read carefully downwards, you'll find out that the husband of the city is Christ.

[12:35] And the city is the church. All right, but let me not confuse you. So, when you look at Revelation, verse 3 says that, then I heard a voice say, now behold, the tabernacle, when all things are ending, now God is actually now going to dwell with his people.

[12:53] Be with them. So, he created us to be with us. So, those of us who think, I can't wait to go to heaven, we are all coming down.

[13:04] The city Jerusalem is coming down from heaven from God. And then God is going to be with us. And he said, there will not be weeping, there will no more be sorrow. Verse 4, there will no more be weeping, there will no more be sorrow, there will no more be that, there will no more be that.

[13:18] For God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Shout hallelujah. All right. All these fables and fables, you finish that, you'll find out that it's not fable.

[13:30] So, God tells us how things are going to end, tells us how things began. So, in between, from beginning to the end, we are somewhere in the middle, not in the middle, we are towards the end, but somewhere in between, within.

[13:52] So, what many people don't know is Isaiah chapter 46 verse 10. Put you on the screen, please. Let's read it out out. Let's go.

[14:03] This talking about God, okay, this talking about God declare, let's go. One more time. And from ancient times, things that are not yet done, saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will do all.

[14:20] Before the thing finishes, he has declared the end already. God declares the end from creation. That's why everything has already been finished.

[14:32] It's here. It's finished. The people who end up in hell, it's already there. Everything is done already. We are now living it.

[14:44] So, when you read, this is interesting, when you read Acts, I just want you to have a certain understanding of this whole economy of God.

[14:55] When you read Acts, Acts 15 verse 18, it says that, known unto God are all his works. From the foundation, from eternity, known unto God from eternity are all his works.

[15:07] everything he will do, it's not like healing you is a surprise to him. Or maybe he didn't plan to let him drink. No, everything has already been written out.

[15:19] The script has been finished. So, when you read Revelation, the scripture I just quoted, Revelation 21 verse 1, did you know how it started? Did you say, and I will see? How do you saw?

[15:33] What hasn't happened already? I saw, read Revelation, and I saw, and I saw, and I saw, he's telling what has happened.

[15:46] So, it's finished. God declares the end from the beginning. Known unto God are all his works from eternity. His council will stand.

[15:58] Where do he fit in? And do you know what he did? So, when he started things, and then Genesis, he got Abraham, got Isaac, Jacob, and then got Israel, and started working on Israel, and then the prophets started speaking about revelations, and much all the prophets spoke about Jesus.

[16:16] Because Jesus was God himself coming down to be with the man and to build his house. So, they were speaking about Jesus. As I told you the other time, they were speaking about Jesus, but most of them couldn't conceptualize how exactly this thing is going to be like.

[16:29] So, the prophets, they were speaking, but what they didn't know, they spoke a lot by revelation, but no one knew God is a very interesting God, an amazing God. He hid some things from humanity.

[16:43] In fact, I think Deuteronomy 29, 29 talks about how the secret things belong to God, and the things that are revealed. It says that the secret things belong to the Lord, our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us, and to our children.

[16:58] He has revealed something, but there are a lot of things up to now. Now, scientists said there's more about the depth of the seas than we cannot. More, and let alone the skies.

[17:12] Even the small earth, small earth, we are struggling, even the small human beings, a lot of sicknesses the doctors can't really get around.

[17:23] You, alone, doctors, you are still a mystery to doctors. So, it's very naive and absurd for a man to think, I can know everything.

[17:35] You don't even know your wife. Your daughter is living at home, you are claiming she's a virgin, but she's an expert. You don't even know.

[17:46] You don't know. You don't know. You don't know. your neighbors are planning to take away your house, but you didn't know.

[18:00] You thought she's your best friend. You didn't know that is just your enemy, your betrayer. So, there's so much you don't know. Why do we make so much noise? I know, I know, I know.

[18:11] You actually don't. just a little, you know, thank God and work with it. Alright, so, the point I'm trying to draw to our attention is that the Bible talks about how God hates some things.

[18:26] Hates. So, in Colossians chapter 1, I like the Bible. Oh, man, Colossians chapter 1 verse 24, Paul talks about, if you have, I rejoice, now I rejoice in my sufferings for you.

[18:41] Now, the apostle writing to the church. I rejoice in my sufferings for you. You, there is the church, not an individual, but a corporate you. I rejoice in my sufferings for you, the church, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ.

[18:59] So, Christ came to suffer. Something is still lacking. But, on the cross, in John chapter 19 verse 13, he says that the last time is finished. He didn't leave some undone.

[19:13] What it took cost to redeem us was finished. But, now the work is the one that cost to build the church. So, the sufferings of Christ are in two ways for the building of the church.

[19:27] One, the redemptive suffering which no man can suffer but only Christ. That's why he came to live and die on the cross to pay for our sins.

[19:37] That suffering is for our redemption. But, afterwards, now the building of the church, he left the suffering in the hands of you and I. So, we can go to Birmingham and Winsos. It's not convenient.

[19:53] Who told you anything good comes conveniently? That's it. No good marriage has been convenient. Conveniently. Absolutely not. No good job comes conveniently.

[20:05] Do go and ask the prime minister. Yes, yes, do you know what Donald Trump is going through? The highest post. Come and see what he's going through. No good job.

[20:16] No good thing comes conveniently. So, where did we get this idea that trying to do the things of God will be convenient? It's never convenient. I get busier and busier.

[20:27] Listen, I'm spending my life, pouring out my life like a drink offering to God. Because, put it on the screen, because Christ finished his part, he left the second part for you and I.

[20:41] And your suffering is not for your miracle, it's for building the church. I fill up in my flesh. Where? In my what?

[20:54] Physically, you feel it. Physically, you feel it. The church work costs physically. I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the affliction of Christ for the sake of his body, which is the church.

[21:13] Say it's a church. Can I go further with you? Look at the next verse. I like it. It says that, what is the of which talking about referring to? The church. Okay.

[21:23] The church of which I became a minister. I became a minister. minister blessed. You became a minister of the church. Of which I became a minister according to the, you know, you remember that word, steward worship.

[21:37] Steward worship given to me. So you are supposed to dispense. Steward worship is given to you for you to dispense. Go to Birmingham so that through you, those who are part of the building stones of the church will be brought in.

[21:52] Watch, watch, watch. The steward ship, according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you to fulfill the word of God. Now watch this.

[22:03] Go to the next one. That's where the secret is. To fulfill the word of God. The mystery, say mystery. What's a mystery? The human mind doesn't have, I can't get it around.

[22:17] The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations. Watch this. See, it's talking about the church. The church is a mystery which has been hidden from ages.

[22:32] Something had been hidden. God hid it. Isaiah prophesied about it but he didn't have a clue what he was talking about. Because God chose to hide this mystery in him from the ages.

[22:48] So throughout the ages, mystery which had been hidden from the ages and the generations. But now it has not remained hidden. But now has been revealed to his saints.

[23:01] That's the mystery of the church. How Gentiles and Jews, how a sinner like you and I can become saints of God. You? Some of you, when people found out that you are now going to church, they are very confused.

[23:16] You? You in church? You preaching? You? You? And now where's Danaya? How many people were shocked? This guy is dead?

[23:27] Ha! I have to go and find out what kind of church that is. We were all once, thank you sir. We were all once somewhere. The mystery is that God finds you acceptable enough.

[23:39] Religion will say you are not good. But God said it doesn't matter, I still want you. Don't mind the religious people. They spoil too many things. Especially those who use the knife.

[23:51] Those ones are serving a demon. Demon likes blood. Which God? What kind of God is this that can fight for himself? Okay, a food for thought.

[24:04] Why are you worshipping a God who can fight for himself? If you attack the church, we don't have to fight you. You will find out that there is something behind this thing. Read the Bible.

[24:18] In Acts chapter 9, the Bible says that this man was breeding murderous threats against the church. Acts chapter 9 from verse 1. And this Saul, Saul, still breeding threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, went to the high priest, saw powers to go and execute them and chasing them all over.

[24:37] On his way going, he met somebody. And the man said, Saul, why do you persecute me? He said, who are you? And he said to him, who are you? No, before then, before then, verse 4, it says that he fell on the ground and heard a voice saying, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?

[24:53] It's not the people he was attacking. Somebody was behind him. We are not serving a God who can't fight for himself. He will deal with you. He will deal with you. He will show up in your dream and warn you.

[25:08] If you are a wife and your husband is, someone is trying to play around with your husband, just know that she's a bad woman, a cheap woman, but then don't go fighting her. Pray.

[25:19] God will appear to her in a dream, or by the time she realizes she's just getting rotten. All the vital statistics are getting rotten. She will have to come and beg you, please forgive me.

[25:30] She will know that there's a God behind you. Am I talking to somebody? Don't try to fight human beings. Fight demons. Deal with demons. If you are doing God's work, someone fights you, they are actually getting themselves into trouble.

[25:44] You can't fight God and win. He said in Romans chapter 8 verse 1, if God be for us. All right, back to religion. So those who try to fight for their God, their God is suspicious.

[25:58] He's a dodgy God. All right, so, but look at you. You, you, you, you, you. Look at the one sitting beside you. This person is a potential saint.

[26:13] Some of you know that if we consider your past and the things you have done, we shouldn't have allowed you to come and sit here. You shouldn't have been allowed to come here because there are bad things you have done.

[26:26] They're serious. People don't know. They don't know you. Tell the person you don't know me. I'm very dangerous. I used to be very dangerous. But I'm now holy.

[26:38] I'm holy. I'm holy. I'm holy. I'm holy. I'm holy. I'm holy. I'm holy. I'm holy. Shout hallelujah. That is the beauty of godliness and Christianity to the standard.

[26:52] A murderer like Saul can become a preacher. Saving lives. So, it's a mystery that God so high and lofty and so holy takes himself and slaps himself on you and mingles himself to be one and you such a dirty human being with flaws.

[27:19] You are not perfect. Sometimes the decisions you make are so and yet God takes himself and puts himself inside you and makes you a saint and his agent.

[27:32] And what is even more confusing sometimes is that you are saved ready going to heaven working with God and yet you still have issues. You still have character issues.

[27:44] You still have desire issues. You still like those when you see the stuff. You don't know what people.

[27:54] Why do I like porn like this? I thought I'm born again but porn is attracting me. Yes. Some girls like boys so much.

[28:04] And you are genuinely born again. But you still like them men. Sisters, is it not true?

[28:18] What the church does not know is that when we are in Christ we still have natural human tendencies like them.

[28:30] But we depend on the strength of the Holy Ghost to help us to live their life. So those of you who you know God is calling you but you are postponing their response because you are waiting to break up with your other girlfriend and then stay with your wife before you can save God.

[28:46] Don't wait. You come the way you are. God will empower you to chop everything. Remove your cancer from your life. So hallelujah. Hallelujah. That is the mystery of godliness.

[29:00] Mystery is the mystery that God so holy will take himself and mix himself, put himself into you so sinful. and create a new entity called the church.

[29:18] Angels look into this and wonder. So if you attack the church God will attack you. Because God takes anything against the church very personal.

[29:36] Very personal. Nobody ever in history has been able to fight the church successfully and stay. You watch. There are people who fought churches and created problems for churches.

[29:47] You watch. If they don't get changed, watch the impact on their families, their children. Some of them, their children, you hear, oh, one of his sons just fell from the boat and a shark just swallowed him.

[30:05] All manner of mishaps that really sometimes are very amazing. It beats their mind. One day she was going to work and just stood before her boss and suddenly she froze.

[30:18] They took her to the hospital. She's dead. Wow. What happened? And then the next day her cousin also died. Sometimes when you investigate there are issues in the family that people who have fought against the church.

[30:33] When you fight against the church, God will come after your family. Pastor, I don't believe it. Try. Or, or, please begin to do a research.

[30:49] You will be shocked at the stacking realities of some of the things I'm saying. Because most of us don't know the causes of some things. So we think that it's a natural cause of events. No, there's no smoke.

[31:03] And so Paul said this mystery God hit in him. In Ephesians chapter 3 verse 8, it said, unto me who am less than the least of the saints.

[31:19] To me who am less than the least of, the least saints, it doesn't mean dead people. Saints are the people of God.

[31:31] That's what I explained. Sinner, God, holy God, puts himself in sinful man and saves that sinful man and the man becomes saints. So, how many of you are saints here?

[31:45] Very interesting, isn't it? I am a saint. I don't have to die. when the Catholic church canonizes somebody, it's a different thing. It's not the saints Bible it's talking about.

[31:57] It's just the church saints. But this one, you have to live. So, it says that, to whom, who am less than the least of all the saints? This grace was given to me, watch this, the grace to preach was given to me that I might show, sorry, that I should preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ, go to the next verse, watch this, watch this, and to make all men see what is the fellowship, that fellowship, you remember that word, the fellowship, or economy, God's program of working, God's economy, to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery.

[32:35] The mystery is the church, the mystery of Christ is the church, the mystery which from the beginning of ages had been hidden in God who created all things. So, from Genesis, when God was making things, he finished everything and kept hitting something inside him and no man knew and it came to Abraham and Isaac, Jacob, David, the prophets, none of them knew unto Christ shows up on the scene and even that it was still hidden and after his resurrection, the church was born and people, the Jews, the Judaizers didn't actually understand what was happening and so when you become a Christian, in fact in Acts chapter 11, they were saying that the Gentiles shouldn't receive the Holy Spirit and Paul said in Acts chapter 11 verse 19 that listen, that if God who gave us this thing has given it to them, who am I that has you, from verse 17, Acts chapter 11, Acts chapter 11, 18 and 19, it says that if therefore God who gave them the same gift as he gave to us when we believed on the Lord

[33:37] Jesus Christ, who was either, why are you telling me I can't let Gentiles receive the Holy Spirit because in Judaism, Gentiles can't even come to the synagogue and a Jew, a serious Jew can't go and mingle with a Gentile, Peter, you are serious, how can you go and mingle with the Gentiles and you see, because they were right to a certain extent, but they were right in the Old Testament, they had not seen the revelation of God, the mystery of God which is now being revealed and so he said, go to the next verse and see what it says, when they heard these things, they concluded that no, God has also visited the Gentiles, but watch this, so Paul now was given the responsibility of making all men know this mystery that the Jews and Gentiles now when it comes to the church, there is no Jew, there is no Greek, there is no male, there is no female, so in the church there are no divisions, there are no demarcations, there are no human classes, when they come to church, whether you are a billionaire, a zero near, a debtor, it doesn't matter, when you are coming to church, don't come with your

[34:53] Amani shoes, don't bring your Bentley into the church, we don't need it, because your Bentley can't give you two hats, your certificate doesn't guarantee eternal existence, we are all fundamentally human beings saved with the, saved and washed by the blood of Jesus, on our way to heaven to become one union, to be in one union with God, shout hallelujah, do I mean it's not nice to, it's not good to have nice things, brother, if you can afford it, go get it, because life is very short, just enjoy God, and anything God gives you, enjoy it, because life is not for enjoyment, it's for enjoyment, so, but the point here is that in Galatians, I think chapter 2 verse 28 or 328, I think 228, Galatians 228, it says, there is neither Jew, nor Greek, there is neither slave, nor free, your immigration status doesn't matter here, your employment status, when you come to church, your employment status, your status don't count, because there is neither slave, nor free, there is neither male, gender does not matter, male, nor female, for all, for you, you are all one in Christ, that is the mystery, you can't talk about Jews and Gentiles being one in worship, it can't happen in the past, but this mystery was hit in

[36:27] God, and he said, but now has been revealed, and Paul said, God has given me the commission of making men know the stats of this mystery, so now, that's where we come in, this mystery is the church, the church is the mystery of Christ, hidden throughout the ages, even though God knew what he was doing, he has finished everything, everything from Genesis to Revelation finished, the aspect of the church, which had also been finished and completed in Christ, was hidden, so no man knew about it, until Christ came and died and went, even the Jews who were working with him, they didn't really understand it, it took somebody like Paul, who God opened the inside of this whole mystery of church, that's why he says that, I now bear in my body what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, if you understand what church is about, you don't mind sacrificing things to make the church work, you don't know what church is, you think churches are coming to sing hymns and songs and jumping and shout, oh no, that's the aspect of our fellowship, koinonia is the

[37:43] Greek word, the fellowship, but actually, church, I like this one, church is God himself, through Christ in you, in you, in me, in her, becoming one entity called the body of Christ, but guess what, guess what, also called the house of God, now, God is a builder, in Hebrews chapter 3, verse 4, he says, every house is built by somebody, but all, God, said for every house is built by someone, but he who builds all things is God, verse 6, verse 6 says that, but Christ asked a son over his own house, whose house we are, say whose house we are, I can't hear you, say it again, so we are the house of God, let's all say that together, are you hungry, and then say like someone who has faith, let's go, one more time,

[38:49] We are the house of God. In 1 Timothy 3, verse 15, he says that I wrote this thing to you so you know how to order your life, comport yourself in the church.

[39:05] But if I delay, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the where? In where?

[39:16] Oh, watch this. That means that you are actually in the house of God. You must be in the house of God somewhere. For him to say, you must know how to conduct yourself in the house of God. Because if you don't have access, why would I write to you and say, so you know how to conduct yourself in the White House?

[39:32] That means you must be going there. Because if you are not going there, why would I come and tell Brother Colin, I want to give you a text. I'm sending this text so you know how to behave yourself in my house.

[39:43] There and there you know that maybe I'm about to invite you to my house. Because if you don't have access to my house, why would I write to you or send you a text or WhatsApp you and tell you how to behave in my house? So if he said, I write to you so you will know how to conduct yourself in the house of God, that means that he is granting you access into the house of God.

[40:02] That means the house of God must not be somewhere ethereal. Somewhere where you can access. It might be somewhere physical where you can access. And so here he says that, I write to you on the screen, that you may know how to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is, he didn't leave it ambiguous.

[40:18] He said, which is the church? Which is? The church. What is the church? The house of God. Oh. Have I lost you?

[40:29] What is the church? The house of God. What is the church? The house of God. I told you from Genesis, God's intention was for a house. That's always been God's eternal plan.

[40:41] What is the purpose of his house? Why would I build a house? Because that's where I want to live. So a person's house is a reflection of where the person lives. They say, oh, that's the house of Michael Jackson.

[40:57] I know in our times, people buy houses and build the house. I've rented it. I've let it. No, but when they say this is your house, it means that this is where you live. Yes, yes, yes. And so, then if God says that the church is my house, that means that that's where he's always wanted to live.

[41:12] Yeah. And that's why I showed you in Revelation chapter 21, verse 3, that it says, now the tabernacle of God is with man. And he will be amongst them. He will be, they will be his people.

[41:23] He will be their God. He's always, God's hot, I like this, I like this. God's hot spot is his house. That's where he has guaranteed himself that this is where I want to be.

[41:35] And so when he created human beings, that was his main agenda, to be with man. And then sin came inside first. Right? So we lost that. And so from Genesis, he's been working.

[41:46] That's why I say you have to look at Revelation to see how it ended. It ends, how does the story end? God and man being one, living under one roof. All right? So now we are the house of God.

[41:57] And the house of God was a mystery in the Old Testament. They never had a clue what it was. That is why, oh man, that's why Jesus came to die. He came to die to make it possible for you to be part of God's house.

[42:11] I said it last week. In John chapter 14, verse 1, he said, let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God and believe in the Father. Believe also. Verse 2, he said, for in my Father's house. Did you see? Anytime you see that phrase in the Bible, the house of God, God's house, don't think heaven.

[42:28] What about God's heaven? Heaven is not a house. Why would he want? He's earth. His house is somewhere on earth. But then from Genesis, he couldn't find a place. Because man was not ready to accommodate him.

[42:41] Until Jesus Christ comes to die, and he says, Peter, you are rock, and upon this church I will build. So Jesus actually classifies himself as a builder. And from the time Jesus died, when he resurrected, that's why, before he went to the cross, he says that, for in my Father's house are many abodes.

[42:58] I don't like the mansion. It's not a proper rendering of the Greek word. So give me a different translation. They amplify. He says, for in my Father's house, there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would not have told you, for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

[43:16] Look at the next verse. He says, I'm going, and when I go, he didn't say when I finish. When I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back. Watch this.

[43:27] I will come. This is interesting. Okay, King James is better. I will come back again. I will come back again. I will come back again and receive you unto myself. Why?

[43:39] That way I am. So he's not talking about future times. He was going to the cross. He's dying on the cross to make a way in God's house, start the house process.

[43:50] When he finished, he said, I'm going to come back and be in you because if you are not born again, God is not inside you. You are not the dwelling place of God. That's why when you become born again, you become the dwelling place of God.

[44:02] And guess what? The church of God has got many dwelling places of God. It's been my Father's house. There are many dwelling places. Many places, God. So in one house, but many abodes and all, we are all one house.

[44:17] Watch this. Now, the house is a building. I explained to you that God does not build with bricks. He builds with stones. So his house, we are individual stones for the building of the house.

[44:33] So this is a stone. This is a stone. If he's born, since he's born again, this is a stone. This is a stone. This is a stone.

[44:44] This is a stone. And this is a stone. So these are all building stones, building blocks for the house of God.

[44:55] And so when you read 1 Peter 2, verse 5, it says, We also, as living stones or lively stones, are being built.

[45:05] We also, as lively stones, are being built into a holy house. A holy habitation. So we are all being built together into a house of God.

[45:17] And I like the way. Okay. Now, open to Ephesians chapter 2, verse 22. Verse 2. Verse 22. South, we are the house of God.

[45:35] South, we are the house of God. The house of God is made of living stones. Your house is made of dead bricks.

[45:46] Bricks. Blocks. But our house, God's house is made up of living stones. And you and you and you and you and you are the building stones of God's house.

[46:01] So when God called Peter, Jesus saw Peter, that's where my message is going, actually. It says, so we are the building blocks of God's house. Building stones.

[46:13] And so Ephesians, are you the Ephesians chapter 2? Can we all read it out loud? It doesn't matter your version. Let's go. Ephesians 2, verse 22. Ephesians 2, verse 22. We are being built up a habitation.

[46:32] A dwelling place of God. A spiritual temple. We are all. It's not I. We. Right, right. We. So when you read the Bible, it says that you are the temple of God.

[46:43] It's not just the you as an individual. It's not the individual you. It's the corporate you. We are the house of God. Being built up into a spiritual house.

[46:55] For the dwelling of God. Hallelujah. So these are different stones. Different stones. But every stone. You know the stone for maybe the window at your kitchen is different from the stone at the window in your bathroom.

[47:12] So every stone has its role. What am I trying to suggest to you? Everybody here is useful and important to God.

[47:23] That's right. Ah, but pastor, you don't know the bad things I've done. He knows it, but he still called you. He knows it. Have you seen from being your mother's son?

[47:35] No. In spite of these bad things you have done that no one in your family has ever done. So God's problem. Ah, you have to hear this. God's problem is not what you did.

[47:49] God's problem is your understanding and your mindset about who you are in Christ. Amen. Because you do some things because you actually don't know who you are.

[48:00] Yeah. If you have a proper estimation. Some people didn't realize that they are wives. Ah. Yes. You don't realize. So their friends are going for parties and they still, you are a wife now.

[48:14] They have forgotten their husband. Some men usually, they have actually forgotten that their wives have given birth. Oh. They forget that they have a two-year-old boy at home and they are still behaving like a 13-year-old boy.

[48:28] Man, you have not a father. Change your ways. I don't know how it feels because I'm not a woman.

[48:40] To have a child with an irresponsible man. It will feel very frustrating. So you need to take your time. Before you let them in, think about who they can be to your children.

[48:53] Hey. Hey. Because children, you don't bring children. You don't bring a child into your womb. The sex will bring the child.

[49:07] Unless it's a rape. You choose who you sleep with, sister. So now you are making noise. We told you that the guy has a funny character. So take it like that and let's help you manage the situation.

[49:23] All right. So these are building blocks, building blocks, building blocks, building blocks. And God brings us all together.

[49:34] Come together. Hold your hands. Say, come. And he builds a house. What's the purpose? So that he can live inside here. And this is the church.

[49:47] But you know what? His house is growing. It's only God who has a house that grows. Oh. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[49:57] Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh, you don't. It's in the Bible. Yeah. It says that into building that Ephesians chapter 2 verse 20.

[50:10] In fact, it talks about being Ephesians chapter 2 verse 19 and 20. It talks about you are no more. Oh, I think I'm getting. Can I distract? Can I divert a little bit? Yeah. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 19 is a nice thing. It says that you are fellow members of God.

[50:22] It says, now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens of the saints. With the saints. With the saints. And members of God's household. Do we have members of God's household here?

[50:33] Yes. We have members of. Go to the next verse. Being built on the foundation of the prophets, apostles and prophets. Amen. Verse 21. Wow. Christ himself being the children. In whom the whole building being fitted together grows.

[50:46] So this building called the church, this house of God is growing. It's growing. But now watch, watch. I know where I'm going. This house is growing.

[50:56] So God, Jesus Christ dies to make the church possible. To start building the church. And so when he died, before he died, God couldn't live in a man. But after he died, because of forgiveness of sin, because of redemption through the blood of Christ, now God can put himself in a man who believes in Christ.

[51:15] And then he lives in us. And so Christ in you, Christ in you, Christ in you, Christ in me. That's what forms the church. And that's what is the house of God. But guess what? The house of God has got members.

[51:27] Because we are members of God's household. That's one. And the members of God's household are the blocks, or sorry, the stones for the building of God's household. So the question is, are you supposed to be just a stone?

[51:40] Because stones don't move. Stones, look, look, leave it somewhere. It will stay there. But we are not ordinary stones. We are living stones.

[51:55] We are living stones. Stones, stability. Living, activity. First, first, I'll put you on the screen again.

[52:06] First Peter chapter 2 verse 5. Stones cannot stability. You don't just, you are not just flaky, instable. Today you are here, tomorrow you are here. There are some people that have been in every church in the city.

[52:19] You are a phony stone. Rolling, rolling. Not a little. How can you use a rolling stone to build a house?

[52:30] It's impossible. You can't build a house with a rolling stone. You have been in too many churches.

[52:42] Today you are in church. The Lord is my shepherd. Tomorrow I shall not want. And the next day you are in church. Anointed is my abortion. Another time. You have been everywhere. And you stay there for at least, at most, two years.

[52:55] And then you are gone. It's a reflection that you are not growing. Spiritually, there's something wrong with your spiritual health. Because people who grow in the things of God are stable.

[53:07] The Bible says, be steadfast and unmovable. Why is it that you are always getting moved? First Corinthians chapter 15 verse 57. It says, be steadfast and unmovable. Always abounding in the labor, the work of the Lord.

[53:18] Knowing that your labor is not in vain in God. It takes stability to abound. Stable, be stable and abound in the work of God. Because you are in church A, you were a quarry star.

[53:30] Now you are going to church B, you are an usher. And now you go to, if you have stayed there, you probably would have been a chief usher. Moving everywhere.

[53:42] Even council workers don't move by heart. Apart from planning offices. So, he said, 1 Peter, 1 Peter, my time is.

[53:53] First, we are also living stones. So, we are living stones. So did we are living stones. We are living stones. So did we are living stones.

[54:03] Living stones. We are living stones. Stone stability. Living activity. You must be useful to God. You must be doing something for God. You are too pretty.

[54:15] Too intelligent not to be doing anything for God. Look at you. What? You are too intelligent. and you know what some people do look at how young you are look at how energetic you are they are waiting to become old ladies God also likes young ladies God likes young people like you young with all your eyelashes God likes intelligent people some of you are very intelligent but you know there is a difference between being clever and being wise there are two different things you can do things God likes you listen I got born again when I was 17 years and I've never regretted it some of the elderly ones here will tell you they got born again when they are finished having their children so they have not used a lot of strength for God and God is going to reward based on your labor not based on your wishes God rewards so when you are stronger use your strength for God

[55:16] I listen to him like the way yes did you go to Birmingham yesterday you didn't go to Birmingham to win shows you had work okay that's understandable that's better I like your eyebrows very nice I will say anything very nice sit down please sit down but are you getting what I'm saying do something for God do something for God some of you most of your energy has already gone into a lot of different things people have done stuff Robert tell them they don't know we have done things so use the rest of the energy this one look at your beard nice man you know the girls like you obviously with this your metal teeth the girls will like right to your feet with your yin yang I mean ladies is this guy not cool they can't say he's a hypocrite look he's got muscles but now I'm sure he's got eight packs he's not you don't have a pack no

[56:28] I can tell you have it but nice guy can you imagine if his strength is investing his strength in God's work most of us invest our strength in parties I don't say don't go to parties like the way last night we had a lot of nice time at the party it's part of life I hope people didn't get drunk too much but then it's up to them but it's nice to have party but you you're taking picture picture picture for people what are you doing for God what are you doing with this now me when I started working for God I had help so even though both of us may not have enough hair we are different too please be seated so the point let me finish I need to finish you want to hear the end of the so God built the house so he would live in the house and then come quickly come and he's okay you sit down go and bring him so the house this is the activity aspect of the house not the stability the activity aspect of the house the growth of the church is not God's responsibility it's the responsibility of the living stones thank you so go and bring somebody go go and bring somebody the man who cannot jump yeah that one travel as far as Antio go and bring somebody and the church let's move into the church go and bring somebody and the church is growing the church is growing bring somebody and the church is growing bring somebody and the church is growing and the church is growing the church is growing see see it's okay now yes alright alright please come and this is God so God is in his house and the stones are growing

[58:27] The stones are growing. Now watch this. So that is why he said, I bear in my body. Weaning souls, can you feel it? You feel it.

[58:38] Colossians chapter 1 verse 24. He says, 24, sorry. He says that now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, the stones of the church. I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ.

[58:53] So there's a pain. There's suffering you have to go through to build the church. God left it for you and I being the living stones. Since you became born again and with all this, your big, big talk.

[59:05] Hallelujah. And big tones. How many people have you been able to bring, to be active in God's house, to be born again?

[59:18] Listen, no one is useless so long as God is concerned. No one, everyone is important. How many people have you been able to establish in God's house? Stop this.

[59:29] Yap, yap, yap. I am powerful. I see revelations. Revelations is not necessary. As much as building the house is concerned. Listen, listen, listen.

[59:44] Time. In 1 Corinthians chapter 14, he says that I prefer you speak, prophesy, speak in tongues. But I want you to prophesy.

[59:55] Because verse 4 says, verse 3 and 4. 1 Corinthians 14. He said, he who speaks in tongues. All right. Okay. Let's go to verse 5 then. He said, I wish you all spoke with tongues. But that more that you prophesy.

[60:06] Why? Because he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues. Unless he's, unless interpret for them. Go to the verse 4. See the verse 4. See the verse 4. He who speaks in tongues, that's what?

[60:18] Edifies. But how about he who prophesies? Edifies. Edifies. The church. That's why he says that he who prophesies is more important than he who speaks in tongues. The one who is only receiving, building yourself.

[60:30] God says his goodbyes, not good enough. The one who is doing to build the church. God's rating of that person before God is very high. Very high. Very high.

[60:41] That is what secures my life above a lot of people. My family is blessed. My health is blessed. I don't fall sick by heart. I'm too busy for God.

[60:52] It will affect the kingdom. The kingdom will not be okay if I fall sick. So God will have to do anything to keep me going. He said, what's that?

[61:04] I can't be in hospital. I can't sleep in hospital. Because I'm too busy doing those ways. I'm talking for you. I'm speaking for you.

[61:15] You living stone. What are you doing? You are living stone. And what is amazing. Please, because of time. Thank you. Please appreciate them. Let me give you the last two scriptures. All right.

[61:26] It's okay. Time. Let's look at this scripture. Which scripture am I going to talk about? Okay. First Corinthians chapter three. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. It's nice to see you. Are you learning something? Yes.

[61:36] I thank God for your life. Oh, is today your first time? I'm so happy to see you. Thank you for coming. It's nice to see you. We are living stones. Now. First.

[61:46] Didn't I say first Corinthians chapter three? Put it on. I didn't tell you the text. Verse nine. Verse nine. For we are God's fellow workers. Oh my God.

[61:59] Hey. Pastor, can you come? I can't have a lantern. I can't have a lantern. So this church is called God and Sons. Incorporated. Incorporated.

[62:12] God and Sons. Who are those who are part of this company? God and Sons Incorporated United. International.

[62:23] International. God and Sons. God has never done things for men outside of men. Anytime God wants to reach out to men, he will use men.

[62:37] That is why when he wanted to save men, he came as a man. That's why when he wanted to give us the word, his word, he gave it to men. God always likes using men.

[62:48] So even when Saul of Tharsus met Jesus on the road to Damascus and Jesus said, Why do you persecute me? Acts chapter nine, verse five. Why do you persecute me? Why do you persecute me?

[62:59] He said, Who are you? He said, I'm Jesus whom you are persecuted. And he said, So what do you want me to do? Do you know what the Lord told him? He asked. So verse six. Let's go.

[63:10] Let's go. As Tony said, Lord, what do you want me to do? What did the Lord say? Arise and go to the city. And you'll be told.

[63:23] That means that there are people. I don't come to you directly and talk to you. I'll send the report to your GP. Go to your GP. God says that he will not personally build your spiritual life.

[63:37] He will use other people to build your spiritual life. What's the job of a pastor? To feed you with God's work so that you can build others for God's work. Yes.

[63:48] Yes. Too many of us are just users. You're looking for testimony. Oh, miracle. Miracle husband. It won't come.

[64:00] No, it will come in Jesus' name. You know, your husband is coming. You sit down and behave posh. I said, your husband is coming. But, but, put a facelift on your Christian work.

[64:19] Do something. Come on. Come on. We are going out to win souls. Not to get money. Not to, not for political campaign. We are going to win souls to find out the building stones who are lost.

[64:33] That's why we are going out. He says that we are co-laborers. We are workers together. Verse 9. We are workers together. Verse 9.

[64:44] For we are God's fellow workers. And you are God's field. And you are God's building. Hallelujah. You are God's building.

[64:55] And someone has said, we are working with God to keep the building growing. God is looking for workers. This one is now like employment offer.

[65:06] Why don't you sign up? Change your mind about your attitude towards God. Let's see. All right. I was about to say something, but it's not wholly true.

[65:18] So, I will have to rephrase it. I was about to say that God doesn't really need you. But it's not true. God actually needs you. He can't do without you. But, it's in your interest.

[65:31] You need God more. Tell someone, hey, you need God. Amen. Can I finish?

[65:42] Can I finish? Can I finish my message? I feel like holding a Bible. Can I finish my message? Watch this. Watch this.

[65:53] Watch this. Pastor Joshua. Charlie, the word is doing something in my spirit. Watch this. Verse 11. We read verse 10.

[66:04] Have you read verse 10? Okay. Let's go to verse 10. Let's go to verse 10. According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation and another builds on it.

[66:16] But let each one take heed how he builds on it. Be careful how you are building. Be careful how you are building. Let's go to the next verse. Let's go to the next verse. Let's go to the next verse. For there's no other foundation can anyone lay that now which is Jesus Christ.

[66:29] So that one is finished. Jesus Christ is the foundation. Go to the next verse. You are sure you will. Now, if anyone, so we are all building. As soon as you become a stone, because you are a living stone, you have your building responsibility.

[66:43] Some of us, by the time you are dying, you haven't built anything. You have left part of God's house this old because you didn't build. Because as soon as you come in, he gives you your job.

[66:53] He gives you your shovels, your tools. Start building. Now, if anyone builds on this foundation, gold, so it depends on what you want to. Gold, silver, see what?

[67:05] Precious wood. Precious what? Precious what? Stroll. Precious stone, wood, hay, straw. It depends on what you are building, how you are building. Some of us are believing God, I will always build gold.

[67:19] Gold, silver. Gold, silver, precious stone. I don't want to build hay. I don't want to build with straw. I don't want to build with wood. Why would I build God's house with wood?

[67:31] Why would I build God's house with hay or straw? He says, go to the next verse. Each one's work will become clear, for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire.

[67:44] Ah. And the fire will test each one's work of what sort it is. So, ah, I'm here making big mouth and making noise that I want to, I'm building with gold.

[68:00] No, you would not know. A time will test, a time is coming to test what kind of substance I'm using to build. So, you can be making a lot of noise. Hallelujah.

[68:10] Show your body. We don't know. We will dance with you. But maybe, maybe it's straw you are building. Maybe. Maybe it's wood. I pray that may it be gold.

[68:21] I'll say that. How shall we find out? We will find out. You will know how you are building, but we will find out. Because the work will test, the fire will test your work, what sort it is.

[68:31] Go to the next verse and see as I finish. If any man's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. The reward is coming.

[68:44] But, but, if anyone's work is burned, he will suffer losses. But he himself will be saved, yet as through fire. So, you go to heaven, but you go to heaven naked.

[68:58] When I say naked, without reward. And my, my, eternity is longer than this time. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So, my question is this.

[69:10] Why is it that many Christians claim they are going to heaven, and yet there's no investment they are making towards heaven? Amen. You are, you are not ready for heaven.

[69:21] You don't intend to go to heaven, or you don't believe in heaven. Because if you do, you will make your investment towards heaven. Towards your future. Towards your future. Wow.

[69:32] Your investment will be in your future. Yes. Which is heaven. Yes. Which is heaven. He said everyone, listen, Johanna, everyone's work will be tested.

[69:42] Yes, yes. The way you get yourself busy, make sure you are building with gold. I can tell. I may say, Johanna is trying, but God knows that this one is strong. You are busy singing in the choir, but straw songs.

[69:55] Straw. Straw ministration. Straw ministration. Straw, wooden ministration. Hey. The wind can blow. But God will not use wind.

[70:06] He said, I'm bringing fire. And then after he finished the testing process, you will be rewarded. How many of you know that rewarded is a good thing?

[70:17] Yes. It's a good. You will be rewarded. Amen. Amen. Lydia, be careful how you build. Because God is watching. Reward is coming.

[70:30] Revelation chapter 22, verse 12. Say, behold, I come quickly. Revelation chapter 22. And behold, I am coming quickly. How soon is he coming? Quickly. How soon is he coming?

[70:41] Quickly. And what's he coming with? The reward is with me. Not with the pastor. It's with me. I will give everyone according to his intentions. Is that what he said?

[70:52] No. I'll give everyone according to his desires. No. I'll give everyone according to his wishes. Oh, I wish to really do God's work. I wish to be.

[71:02] You better start doing something. Because he reward you according to your works. Not your wishes. Oh, it's in the heart. It's in the heart. Okay. He will not reward you based on what is in your heart.

[71:15] What your hands have done. Your works. May you receive your reward greatly. Amen. In conclusion, please make yourself available. God is building his house.

[71:26] And let it go on record that you are building with God. Amen. Amen. This is a good message. You are building with God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[71:36] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Did you receive something? Shout hallelujah. Amen. Pastor, I'm looking forward to when we go out for outreach.

[71:48] Start from somewhere. Start from somewhere. We will be going out for outreach very soon. Not today. But this week, come on board. Don't get yourself so busy painting your house.

[72:00] When God's house is being built, you are painting your house. You are decorating your house. You are decorating your house. Pastor, you're saying I shouldn't do it.

[72:10] No, I never said that. If your child is in hospital, would you get busy painting your house? Wow. Wow. Don't take, Bible says, give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar.

[72:22] Yes. And what belongs to God to God. Miracles are common in the hands of people who labor for God. Miracles are easy and common.

[72:35] Today, I believe God sent me to come and tell somebody. He's looking for you. He's actually looking for you. Ignore your mistakes in the past. Everyone has got mistakes. Religious people will tell you, forget about that.

[72:49] God doesn't have time for about your past. He's the only one who doesn't check your credit history. Wow. God doesn't check your credit history when he wants to do something for you. I want to pray for somebody.

[73:03] Please bow your head. Thank you, Jesus. I want to pray for somebody. You are here, you see. You know genuinely that God is speaking to you. You don't want to pretend about it.

[73:14] It's your destiny. God is speaking to you. You are actually not a stone in God's house, a living stone. You are a dead wood somewhere. You don't have a...

[73:24] What do I mean? You don't have a relationship with Jesus. This whole thing is ideological in your estimation. But deep in your heart, you can't deny that God is calling you. You can't deny me.

[73:36] I can't deny it. And I want to say yes to him. If that's your genuine desire, it's deep in your heart. It's very personal. The one sitting here, you may not know, but you know God is talking to you. If that is your genuine desire, I would like to pray with you.

[73:48] I can't end this service without praying with you. If that's your genuine desire, I want to say, Pastor, pray with me. I want to start afresh with Jesus. I want to give Jesus my life. I want to invite him to my heart. And I want to respond to the call of God in my life.

[74:01] It doesn't mean I'm going to be a preacher. No. But what it means is, I'm going to be a true worshiper of God. I'm inviting Jesus into my heart. If that's your genuine desire, please lift up your right hand so I can sit and pray with you.

[74:12] Please lift up your two hands as a sign of surrenderance. If you're in front, lift up your two hands. High as a sign of surrenderance to God. And say, Lord Jesus. Say it after me.

[74:22] Mean it from your heart. Say, Lord Jesus. I know I am a sinner. But I believe you died on the cross to save me from my sins and to wash me with your blood.

[74:34] Today, I surrender all to you. I've heard your voice and I invite you into my life to be my Lord and my Savior. I make a commitment that I'll save you the remaining days of my life.

[74:49] Holy Spirit, help me to understand it more and be a living stone. Bringing other living stones into the house of God. Thank you, Lord.

[75:01] In Jesus' name. Amen. Father, I thank you so much for these precious brothers and sisters. Your word says that I know my sheep and my sheep know my voice out of the many.

[75:13] Others are still sitting. But those you have destined to eternal salvation, eternal redemption, have responded to your voice. I pray for them.

[75:25] Let your hand be upon them. Let favor come upon them. Let miracles work in their lives. Let everything begin to change for the glory and for good.

[75:35] I bless you. May God use you as speallers in his house. God bring in other living stones for the building of God's house. I bless you in Jesus' name.

[75:47] Amen. Thank you for listening. For more resources, please visit caris.org or call us on 0207-740-9960.
