1 DAY 21 04/11/ Prayer and Fasting Crusade Message of 4th November 2018 THEODORE ANDOSEH

2 1 If you have prepared a thanksgiving, stand up and thank the Lord. Alleluia! Who has a testimony and has a gift to speak briefly? NEW LIFE STYLE Today we must finish the teaching on the follow-up of the young believers so that we can start the establishment of young churches. Conversion comes with life style changes. In the follow-up of young believers, we have to come down to life style changing. All conversion, all repentance that does not involve a life change is counterfeit. Ephesians 4: So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. 20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 In your anger do not sin : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. Ephesians 5: For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4: 1-12

3 2 1 Finally, brothers, we instructed you how-to live-in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit. 9 Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 10 And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more. 11 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. Moral seeds will bear moral fruits. So, if you find out that what brother Zach has taught us about uprooting idols, it is for your good, do it so that you will be well, so that you will not extinguish in your leadership, because what you leave, it will bear fruits in you and it will even bear fruits in your children. God even says in exodus that he is the god who judges the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations. So, our moral actions and vices impacts till our fourth generation. Please, God has blessed our ministry with light, god has given us many things that we don't understand why he has given them to us, it is for our good. Joab was killed for killing Abner and Amasa after 45 years. 45 years and the blood guilt for his youth still had to be paid. Let's not joke. There are too many rothers who ae jus light hearted, they are not planning to be leaders, they are not thinking ahead. They think if just finishes here, as long as you can have your way. No, it is not the case. Are you going to build a team? Are you going to have people follow you when you have nothing to bribe them? Will they follow? It will be spiritual, as you did for another. So, if you don't have a moral foundation, maybe you will always need t look for money to bribe people, but if you want commitment, loyalty from the heart, the one that God gives, you will be careful with your life. 2 Thessalonians 2: 6-15

4 3 6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. 9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow. 10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." 11 We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies. 12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat. 13 And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right. 14 If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of him. Do not associate with him, in order that he may feel ashamed. 15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother. There must be life style changing. In the follow-up of Paul, there was a great emphasis on life style changes, on reformation of life. Paul says unbelievers have their way of thinking, we ae not to continue that way. When people believe, form a life of having secrets, in the Lord Jesus, you can longer live in darkness, you must be known. If you hold back truth with somebody should know in order to relate to you correctly, you live in darkness. On ne joue pas comme cela. Il y a un changement de vie, de style de vie fondamentale, de quelqu'un qui a le droit de cacher des secrets, cacher des mobiles. Les croyants parlent la vérité, ils traient en vérité, les uns avec les autres. Il y a beaucoup de faussetés, même avec les co-ouvriers qui sont bien établis. Si quelque chose va culpabiliser quelqu'un qui est proche de toi, tu caches cela. On n'entretient pas les relations dans le Seigneur comme on le faisait avant de croire. Les croyants marchent dans la lumière. "vous étiez une fois ténèbres, mais vous êtes maintenant lumière", dont le croyant a mis fin à des secrets, avec des intentions de bonnes paroles. Ce dualisme de nature, une apparence de soumission, de vénération, de révérence, alors qu'à l'intérieur on se cherche, on fait des services pour accroître son crédit d'endettement de l'autre. Ne prend jamais être serviteur de quelqu'un quand tu ne l'es pas à partir du cœur. Cette fausseté, Dieu v ale juger. Tu es venu dans la vie de quelqu'un comme serviteur alors que tu n'étais pas en train de le servir, tu étais en train d'étaler un tapis rouge pour toi, Dieu va te juger. I am beginning to see a lot of worldly wisdom and manipulations. Paul says we behaved towards you with sincerity, we did not use worldly wisdom, we acted with sincerity, let love be true without dissimulation. I am beginning to be troubled by the things that are being practiced here in Koumé by co-workers. People come inside with good heart then they begin to make claims. You thing

5 4 you have gotten us? Yes, you have, but you have forgotten God. So, people simulate services, loyalty, commitment, when all that they are looking is to be accepted, and a place, and a place to be moved forward. What for? Is there not a God in heaven? Will he not reward each one accordion to his work? Does it all end here on earth? You are mistaken. If your service is not true, repent of your hypocrisy. If your commitment was not true, repent of your hypocrisy. If your loyalty is not sincere, repent; why make another person trusts you and then you believe that inside you, you can start changing? Have your forgotten that there is a God in heaven? In Christ, we don't do that. If you ae serving somebody and you have ambitions to climb and your service is just a ladder service to climb, God is. We have taught so much how spiritual it is to service, how good it is to be loyal, now people practice service without service, simulate, carry people's name without loyalty. Dans la vie chrétienne, n ne fait pas le progrès dans la fausseté. Tout ce qui n'est pas bâti sur la transparence va s'écrouler. Toute relation, toute appartenance qui n'est pas bâties sur la transparence va s'écrouler. Dieu veillera à cela. Un deuxième changement de vie ce sont les mobiles profonds. Quan don entre dans la vie chrétienne, on doit commencer à faire les choses par motifs d'amour. On peut faire beaucoup de bonnes choses par motifs égoïstes, mais quand on devient croyants les mobiles de nos actes doivent changer. L altruisme suit tous les actes des croyants, l'égoïsme colorent tous les actes humanitaires. Quand on va vers les jeunes croyants, on doit amener les gens qi attendent l'argent facile à les aider à travailler avec leurs mains. Si quelqu'un croit et il volait avant, ou il trichait avant, l'apôtre Paul dit que Dieu veut que ta vie gagne le respect de certaines personnes, fait quelque chose avec tes mains pour donner de la noblesse à ta personne. Les soumissions à intérêt, c'est pour qui? c'est pour une vie de honte. L apôtre Pau dit de mettre fin à cette vie de honte, pas en priant, en s'appliquant à travailler avec ses mains. Les gens ont besoin d'apprendre la valeur de l'argent bien travaillé. Beaucoup de gens dépensent l'argent sans frein parce qu'ils sont des mendiants. Rassure-toi si tu veux prier pour les bénédictions de Dieu qu'il y ait quelque chose entre tes mains, sinon tu perds tes prières. La Bible nous dit de ne pas considérer les paresseux comme les non-croyants, la Bible nous demande de les fuir afin qu ils aient honte. Dieu veut qu'on mette les paresseux en quarantaine sociale, qu'on les évite. Dieu veut que le paresseux ait honte jusqu'à commencer à faire quelque chose. Quelqu'un doit commencer quelque part. commence quelque part, sinon la pauvreté dont tu te lamentes va rester sur toi comme un habit, comme un collant. On a une pitié naturelle. Donner l'argent à quelqu'un qui n'est pas prêt à travailler avec ses mains, c'est ne pas l'aimer. Être pasteur, c'est être comme Pierre, 'l'or et l'argent je n'ai pas' on n'a pas besoin d'être milliardaire pour être pasteur. Quand quelqu'un croit, il faut qu'on l'amène

6 5 à la dignité du travail manuel. Qui a vu ce livre, c'est un livre de dignité manuel, c'est un livre pour le jeune converti, parce que on doit en venir au travail pratique. Il faut laisser le jeune converti l'ayant enseigné à préserver sa communion avec Dieu par un esprit de repentance éveillé, qu'il ne garde pas le péché. Dès qu'il pèche, qu'il se repente devant Dieu, qu'il se repente devant les hommes ; maintenir la conscience claire vient par la facilité à se repentir au lieu de masquer les offenses et les problèmes Deuxièmement on maintient la communion avec Dieu par des contacts fréquents, c'est pourquoi il y a des retraites spirituelles, Il faut lui apprendre à maintenir la communion avec des courtes prières, louanges et actons de grâces qui accompagnent tout. S'il est entrain de prier à la cuisine, qu'il apprenne à dire "Seigneur merci pour l'eau coule", s'il était constipé et qu'il va aux toilettes, qu'il apprenne à dire "Seigneur merci pour ces selles qui me soulagent" que ce soit spontané. Le jeune croyant a besoin de multiplier les contacts. Peut- être il faut lui dire de multiplier le contact en priant près de 100 à 400 fois par jour. Des prières comme des éjaculations du cœur. Quand le contact est trois fois par jour, on a faim de dieu Quand on a fois, non a soif de Dieu Mais quand les contacts augmentent à 400 fois par jour, on soupire après Dieu Dont c'est la fréquence de contacts qui détermine la soif de Dieu C'est dans ce sens que la bible dit "priez sans cesse". On peut garder la pensé tournée vers Dieu intérieurement mais étant actif. Il faut être à jour avec Dieu. If you offend somebody, don't keep quiet hoping that the person will forget. But the harm it will do to you will be beyond measure. we are to teach the young believer the pathway of continuous communion: short accounts with God and constant repeated contacts; retreats for spiritual progress, then you can leave him, because you have connected him to the indwelling Christ. The Lord will hold him through his conscience. Aimer les gens c'est leur donner la capacité de tendre la main aux autres. L évangile nous apporte la noblesse, parce que satan nous avait apporté l'esclavage. L évangile nous apporte la noblesse.
