YOU CAN PASS THE TEST OF SCHOOL BY READING ALONE BUT CANNOT PASS THE TEST OF LIFE WITHOUT A MENTOR.
MANY DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING AND ARE UNWILLING TO ASK THOSE WHO HAVE GONE THERE.
MENTORSHIP IS WISDOM WITHOUT THE SEASON OF WAITING.
MENTORS TALK, MENTEES LISTEN
MANY FOLLOW MENTORS FOR THE MONETARY BENEFITS
MENTORSHIP IS NOT SPONSORSHIP OR COLLECTORSHIP
THE WORDS OF A MENTOR CAN CAUSE YOU TO PREVAIL WHERE OTHERS ARE STRUGGLING.
HONOUR HAS A VOICE.
IF YOU SUCCEED WITH YOUR LIFE, IT WILL BE TRACED TO A VOICE YOU CHOSE TO HONOUR.
HAVING A GREAT MENTOR DOES NOT GUARANTEE SUCCESS IN MINISTRY.
BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE CONSTANT ACCESS TO WHOM YOU HAVE CALLED A FATHER.
ANY HONOUR FROM YOUR HEART THAT DOES NOT END IN YOUR POCKET IS FAKE.
COLLECTING FROM YOUR MENTOR IS CURSE IN DISGUISE.
YOUR REACTION TOWARDS YOUR MENTOR WILL REVEAL WHAT INTERROGATION CANNOT.
KNOWLEDGE CAN BE GOTTEN FROM BOOKS, COUNSEL IS FROM THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED IT.
ENTER EVERYDAY IN THE POSTURE OF A LEARNER
HIT AND RUN PEOPLE DON’T HAVE CONNECTIVITY. THEY ARE DETACHED FROM THE SOURCE BECAUSE OF LACK OF HEART-TO-HEART RELATIONSHIP.
THE COUNSELS WE RECEIVE CANCELS ALL THE PROBLEMS OF YOUR LIFE
WHEN YOU LOOK AT A MENTOR, YOUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT.
– Pastor David Ibiyeomie on THE POWER OF MENTORSHIP INTO THE NEXT LEVELS at the 2023 International Ministers Conference || Day 2, Morning Session || Covenant University Chapel || 10th May, 2023
Heavenly Father speak to us through Your Word, let this second session glorify no other person but You. Speak through me to be a blessing to Your people and I vow to give You every glory in Jesus mighty name. Give Him a big hand, you may be seated. Church Gist. Well, how many of you were blessed with the first Word? I am blessed because anytime God’s Word comes, there is something new that God will reveal to you. What I am about to teach, actually the practicality of it came from our Bishop Abioye, I have watched him, how he followed our father and when he said “no distraction.” I said this is true because following our father, you need to be focused, otherwise so many things will make you to say no, I can’t again but he is so focused that nothing can distract him, so he didn’t just preach, we are blessed sir, thank you sir.
Well, I will be taking on THE POWER OF MENTORSHIP INTO THE NEXT LEVEL. A mentor is any person who lights your candle without losing his light, so both of you can lighten up the world together. Church Gist. I take it again, a mentor is any person who lights your candle without losing his light, so both of you can lighten up the world together. For instance, Jesus lighted the candle of the Apostles, Moses lighted the candle of Joshua, Elijah lighted the candle of Elisha, Jacob lighted the candle of Joseph, Paul lighted the candle of Timothy and Titus. You can pass the test of school by reading alone but cannot pass the test of life without a mentor. I pray today that you will understand who a mentor is to you in the name of Jesus. Mentors are refiners of crude materials. Church Gist. Some of us came very crude, meeting a mentor will refine us to become what we are today. They are polishers, furnishers and finishers. Mentors polish you, they furnish you and they prepare you as a product which is finished for the world to see. They bring out the something out of your nothing. They are the ones that bring out the best out of your mediocrity. For instance, Gordon Lindsay brought the best out of Benson Idahosa, Williams Braham and T. L. Osborne, George Jeffrey and Reinhard Bonnke, Kathryn Kuhlman and Benny Hinn, Alexander Dowie and John G. Lake, A. A. Allen and R. W. Shambach, David Oyedepo and David Ibiyeomie. When you meet them, your life can never remain the same. Somebody in this next levels, something will happen that will change your life forever.
Many don’t know where they are going and are unwilling to ask those who have gone there. Church Gist. The questions to ask yourself are: what am I looking for? What do I really want from my mentor? What am I pursuing? These three questions must be answered. What am I looking for in him? What do I really want from him and why am I pursuing him [what is it that I am pursuing? Am I pursuing just to be known that I am close to him?], because mentorship is not sponsorship or collectorship. Mentorship is learning through the pain someone else has experienced. Mentorship is wisdom without the season of waiting. It is the quickest way to enter the world of exploits and wisdom. They do the work, you tap into them and then you run and you find out you are gaining speed because they have been able to tell you what they have passed through and what they have handled so you don’t need to go through that route, you take their experiences and then run the race with speed. Somebody will gain speed in the name of Jesus! That Amen is too weak. Mentorship is a platform created for upcoming ministers to enter into the labour of those who have gone ahead of them. Joshua virtually walked into everything Moses laboured for without struggle. Church Gist. Mentors talk, mentees listen. Now, one thing is that a protégé is a passionate learner pursuing the wisdom hidden in a mentor. Hear me and hear me well, without pursuing the wisdom in a mentor, you will suffer in the hands of tormentors but that won’t be your portion. Our father said “they are spiritual ladders we climb to see farther.” Mentors give us wings to fly, it makes you gain speed and someone will enjoy that speed in the name of Jesus.
Well, there are four categories of every followers of every mentor. Every mentor has four sets of mentors that follow them. No matter the spiritual father, there are four sets of people that follow them:
1. The Schemers: The Schemers are the Judas. Judas loved the ministry of Jesus but never loved the person of Jesus. In every mentor, he must have Judas. He loved what Jesus had as a ministry because he was being paid, money was there but the man Jesus, he never loved him that’s why when they poured oil, he said “why do you spend so much on this Man?” He was very angry but he was holding the purse. Church Gist. They can work for you because of the salary, the day that you will tell them “you are not qualified there”, you will see them react. They scheme! He was only there for pecuniary which is money benefits. Many follow mentors for the monetary benefits they can get.
The second set of people are the settlers. Settlers, they are there but no reflection of the mentors’ values and virtues “I have known him for forty years, we have been working with together, when he started the ministry in Kaduna, I was there,even in Ilorin I was there even before the ministry started” but you look at the person there is no reflection of the person he is following. They are the settlers, they have just come to settle but nothing to draw from the person. May you not be a settler.
Then, we have the third set, the students. Students, they are ever learning but they don’t like to identify with the mentor publicly. Church Gist. They will be in this conference but if you are talking about Oyedepo, they will say “ahhh you know those are those people”. They are ever learning, they come for every conference but they will never identify with the mentor publicly.
Then, you have the fourth set, the sons. Sons, they have the DNA and they reflect the values and virtues of their mentor. You don’t need to ask, when you see them, you just say “are you connected to this person?” Church Gist. Every virtue of that person, they do it. Everything the man values, they value it. May you be among sons in the name of Jesus and in most cases, sons are not many. Elijah had only one son, Elisha, it says “sons of the prophet” but he ended having one. Paul had only Timothy and Titus followed. Sons are not too many. Every mentor, you will find out that so many people will like them but sons are very few because they can pay the price to follow. May you be among the few in the name of Jesus. That Amen is weak!
The words of a mentor can cause you to prevail where others are struggling. I will tell you practical thing because one, if you teach without testimonies, there is no purpose for teaching. I will never forget, we left Bible school and my wife and I came to see him, I will not tell you all the details, I will just pick some because some of the things he prayed if I tell you, you will be angry. Church Gist. Why will you be angry? They are too direct. So, he said “kneel down” and he spoke some words, I can tell you verbatim every word he spoke because they were too dangerous. He said “kneel down!” Held this like this [demonstrates holding his shoulder] and said “Now, go!” and the rest. From that moment, speed became unprecedented. I pray the words that will be dropped on you will change your position for life. We just came from Bible school and that was our first major visit to him, so their words give you speed in your world. A mentor enhances your access in the right direction. A mentor shows you the future that you cannot see and nurture you until you get there.
I will be looking at the role of a mentee to the mentor. The role of a mentee to the mentor.
1. Honour him. 1 Thessalonians 5:12- 13. Honour must start from the heart. It is the seed for access. I will ask you a question “Whom have you chosen to honour?” Honour has a voice. If you succeed with your life, it will be traced to a voice you chose to honour. Church Gist. Some years back, we did a drawing that we wanted to start a project and the idea was that we should start with a crusade ground. They did a very fantastic design, the massive project will contain 300,000 people for crusade and when I want to see him, I prepare my heart. I don’t ever see him without preparing my heart, so when I came, I said “this is the thing”, he just did like this [looks down] and said “David, stop that. If you do a crusade, is it everyday you do crusade?” I have done drawing, drawing was finished, architects have… [laughs] He said “is it everyday you do crusade, the whole land for crusade?” Nobody need to tell me, I went home and said “This crusade project in Jesus name, good night.” He said “go and ask God more” and that was how the cathedral project came. So, just imagine where the cathedral is we said we are to do a crusade ground, by now the whole money would have been wasted. Whose voice have you chosen to honour?
Honour him as a father. Malachi 1:6. Because what he carries, is what defines his honour. You can’t despise it and access him. Whom have you chosen to dishonour? If you fail with your life, it can be traced to a voice, you chose to ignore. Church Gist. For instance, God anointed Samson who chose to dishonour the counsel of his father Manoah. Judges 14:3, Judges 16:4-31. For instance, you don’t have to meet the person one on one, yesterday he has told us the foundation is the fear of God. If you choose to dishonour that voice, you can’t succeed. It does not mean that you have to stay with Bishop David Oyedepo now to talk to you one on one. We came here and he said look “this is the foundation, if you don’t have the fear of God, no way.” That voice must be honoured, otherwise you can’t succeed. So, whose voice have you chosen to honour? You can’t say he is your father and then you are hearing some preachers all over the world who are saying fear of God is not important, which means you are not ready to honour the voice that is making you who you are. Shout halleluyah! Church Gist. Having a great mentor does not guarantee success in ministry. Absalom and Solomon were both sons of David. What was the difference between Solomon and Absalom? Solomon chose to honour his father, Absalom did not. Dishonour will create loss. Lucifer before he became satan had unhindered access to God but dishonoured God later.
Let me say this to every one of us, be careful if you have constant access to whom you have called a father. I consciously don’t call him as a lifestyle because it is a lifetime relationship. There is no point rushing over what is a lifetime relationship. He will say “David don’t call me.” I do it on purpose, I value him so much, so I am very careful. I don’t want to get too close physically but I am very close by connectivity. Satan had too much unhindered access to God, he abused it. Sometimes, watch people who rebel and misbehave are those who had unhindered access to the leadership. But let me say this to you, very practical, I want to go into laugh, any honour from your heart that does not not end in your pocket is fake. Church Gist. Are you hearing me now? I said mentorship is not collectorship, mentorship is honour and I discovered where God said “where is My honour?”, it has to do with money. If I be your father, where is my honour? At the end of the day, you will find out that Malachi where He was talking has to do with money. I won’t go into details. All that Jesus said “they honoured Me”, they honoured Him with substance, nobody honoured Him with lips.
Some of us have come to conferences, you are even thinking of how big ministries are, you hear people get angry “how can all these rich ministries can’t sponsor small ministries.” The big ministries started small to become big, so find out what they know to get to where they are, than going to think of them giving to you. Collecting from your mentor is curse in disguise. He made a statement, he said, he met Archbishop Idahosa and Idahosa opened his purse and said “take everything, anything you want.” He said “No, ehhh, that thing that you got, I want to also know how to get it, I rather give than to collect.” But some were collecting from him and see where they are and see where he is. I pray someone will learn a lesson in the name of Jesus. Luke 8:1-3. He doesn’t need it, Jesus does not need it, He supplies every need but they know the secret.
Now, there is nothing I will give to him that he needs, it is me that needs his grace to move to the next level. Are you hearing what I am saying now? It says “without contradiction, the less is blessed by the better.” There is nothing I will sow to him that will help him, he has it more but I need it for my next level. Are you getting what I am saying? Church Gist. Next level is also financial next level. Say the truth, many of you in ministry, that’s the biggest challenge problem you have. There is malaria, there is malaria. Malaria is the biggest problem in ministry, true? You can never move if you don’t honour him. I stop there, if you like you… I said honour starts from the heart but ends in the market. Any honour without substance is fake. Is what? It’s fake. Okay, just imagine you that is a pastor, a member comes “sir, I love you so much o. I love you, the way I love you eeeh” he went and bought a car. You prayed for him. He came back again, sir the way I love you, come and dedicate my house. You! The next day, he said “sir I love you.” He said he has opened mansions. Church Gist. The next day he comes, you will say “Tell that man not to enter my office.” True? Won’t you get angry? Anointed man, you won’t get angry. Okay.
2. Love and value Him. The mentor you don’t love and value, you can’t draw virtue from him. Believe in his ministry, the prophet you do not believe cannot profit you. You all know Mark 6:5-6. For instance, look at Elijah and Elisha with other sons of the prophet in 2 Kings 2, the sons of the prophets did not believe in Elijah, but Elisha believed so much in Elijah. Church Gist. When you identify one, receive his person. You cannot access his treasures until you receive his person. Matthew 10:41. May the reward of a prophet come upon you in the name of Jesus. Let me say this to you, your reaction towards him reveals your true character. There are certain things that God couldn’t pass to you on your own. He has loaded them in such persons so you either receive them or you lack them forever. What is your reaction to your mentor’s greatness? What was Absalom’s reaction to the greatness of his father, king David? 2 Samuel 15:1-6. Elisha loved and valued Elijah. 2 Kings 2. Ruth valued Naomi. Ruth 1. Let me say this to you, the only way to predict decisions of a person is to observe their reaction. Reaction reveals passion. Church Gist. Your reaction towards your mentor will reveal what interrogation cannot. If you want to know, somebody said “that’s my father”, just say something about that person, the way the person will react unknowingly because it is involuntary will tell you how that person is to that person. Some say, he is my father, he is my father. Some one say “well, we learnt that your father…” For what? Don’t mind them, that’s how they are. Your reaction will reveal who truly you are. It is an involuntary action. Once somebody tells you of your father, the way you will react will show whether you are really connected, we are in a spirit world or you are doing it mechanically. Some people will come down now, they say “Papa” they lie down. That you lie down does not mean your heart is there. Are you getting what I am talking about? Somebody can’t talk about your mentor negatively and you stand it, if you truly follow the person. If you truly what? Church Gist. Let me ask you a very sincere question, it is practical, can they abuse your father, your biological father where you are and you keep quiet? Eeeh? Say the truth. You will be able to outstand it? Hayaaa! Abuse me, I will take it, if you abuse him that’s the end. A serving governor dishonoured him by not honouring his invitation, the governor has begged me to see me, I said “I won’t’t see you, if you can dishonour my father, you are wasting your time.” He said “let me come and explain” I said “I will never see you.” I said “Nothing in this world will make me see you if you can do that.” He said “sir can I come and explain why I could not come.” I said, you are wasting your time and I will not see him till the man leaves office. It’s not hypocritical, these things are not mechanical, it flows. Where your father cannot go to, you are going there, then you are not relating with that person. Are you hearing what I am saying now? You all know the story, one time on social media, I didn’t premeditate it, it came from the inside, there was no premeditated thing, I was just teaching, the HolyGhost came upon me and I reacted against a young man who spoke negatively against him. Church Gist. He doesn’t need to react. How can he react against small boy? So, you abuse me I can take it, you can’t abuse my father, I won’t take it, infact I will tear you to pieces. Are you hearing me now? Don’t say somebody is your father and then they are talking, you say “I just want to hear.” What do you want to hear? Sir, I just like to hear, you know, so that I can know how to advice. You, will advice your mentor? Who will advice who? Eeeh? A wise man said “you can get new clothes from young people, you get rags from old people.” Knowledge can be gotten from books, counsel is from those who have experienced it. So, they are the ones who will give you counsel, you can’t give an old man counsel, which counsel do you want to give him? Which experience do you have to give him counsel.
3. Utilise every opportunity to learn from him. Utilise every opportunity to learn from your mentor. I said “knowledge can be gotten from books but counsel is possessed knowledge which is from experience.” That’s why Moses could hear the advice of Jethro, who was supposed to be a witch doctor. Your mentor knows something you do not know. He sees something you do not see. The purpose of mentorship is to stop the occurrence of painful experiences. Mentorship is for protection. It is the fastest way to success. Mentorship is learning through the pain of another person.
Enter everyday in the posture of a learner. When I come here, I don’t come as somebody who knows, I come to learn. Only a fool will reject help from a mentor especially when it is at no cost- that’s his own statement. It is only a fool rejects help when it is at no cost, so I now added only one word, his own statement. He was talking to me, he said “it is only a fool that will reject help especially when it is at no cost.” So, it is only a fool that will reject help of a mentor when it is at no cost. Which money did you pay now to hear the things you are hearing? Some things you are hearing here, you can’t read them from books.
4. Shout halleluyah! Engage in a heart-to-heart relationship. Proverbs 27:19. It takes emotional connectivity to draw maximally from your father’s inheritance. Elisha had a heart-to-heart relationship with Elijah. 2 Kings 2, 4, 6 & 10. Hit and run people don’t have connectivity. They are detached from the source because of lack of heart-to-heart relationship. Church Gist. It is not a hit and run system, it is a stick-on system. It is a lifetime journey. Let me say this, did you ever pray to say God who is my father? Because you don’t choose father’s. Just like Bishop Abioye told us, pray for the next thing God has to do with you in case you don’t know your message. Please, if you have not done it, ask God to show you who is your father because fatherhood cannot be changed. It’s a lifetime thing. Many don’t have revelation of fatherhood, that’s why they say “this was my father then.” It is not wrapper you change. If God showed you your father, it is a lifetime journey. Many don’t have revelation of fatherhood, so they say “well, this man was my father then, but I have changed.” They don’t change it, it is not wrapper that you change, not clothes, fatherhood is for life. A father can say “you are not my son.” But even biologically a son cannot say he is not my father. There is no way, I can say now he is not my father, no revelation, I heard God told me that’s the man you should follow, I didn’t know him before. Church Gist. When I became born again, I said “who do I go to?” He said “This is the man. Go to Iyana ipaja” I have never known him before then and somebody came to confirm what God told me. So, I heard God, there is nothing he will do to me that will make me get angry. If he said, you are stupid. I said the stupidity must be a room to be better but to say I got angry because he said I am stupid, then it means I never heard God. So, find out who is your father, so when any challenge comes, challenge must come, nobody follows a father without challenge. Nobody! Do you know I have come to Shiloh when I had no seat? Satan said to me “you see, no seat.” I said “satan, you are stupid. You are very stupid.” Satan said ” See, no seat. I think you say you are following him, see the way they are treating you.” I said “shut up, satan!” But if I didn’t hear God, I will say “okay, with all the things I am doing, see me na I came to Shiloh and then no seat. I am going.” Who will lose? If you are reacting against your father, who will lose? My friend, you are the one who will lose o, calm down. Are you hearing me now? Some of us it is forever, we are going nowhere.
5. Crave for what he carries. Having found what you are looking for, crave for it. Let nothing on earth deter you. Earnestly, covet everything that he carries, it is worth it. With that, you can command result without sweat. Church Gist. I see you command results without sweats in the precious name of Jesus.
What are the benefits of mentorship? Because if you know the benefits, you will just be connected.
1. Replication of grace without struggles. I am a living example, even if you don’t believe those who are in Living Faith, maybe you say “well, it’s grace of Bishop Oyedepo, it’s their Church” Me, I am not in Living Faith, I only came to Bible school here. Paul Eneche is not in Living Faith. You can see it work in our lives, so it’s possible and we are not doing it because of our strength, the things we have learnt gave us speed. Church Gist. You just see yourself, 1997, look if somebody is your mentor and it does not reflect, then something is wrong. 1997, I will never forget, I have shared that testimony before, my wife and I were in a room and a medical doctor walking with DSS today [because that time they used to call them SSS], this man was a medical doctor, had a psychiatric challenge, became wild in a place they call 1004 Victoria Island and was to drop his baby out of the high rise, they held the baby and they brought him to the house. He was violent! Two hefty men body builders could not hold him, you know when people are demonically possessed you can’t hold them and we were sleeping, he was shouting in the house, shouting, wrecking everywhere. I told my wife, somebody is making noise here, in my pyjamas, I came out. As he turned in his mad state, he said “I know you, you are David Oyedepo. I have read your book – keys to divine heath.” I looked at myself and I said wao. So, even the demons, 1997, 2023, you should know the difference. He said “I know you. You are Bishop David Oyedepo, I have read your book.” I said “Oh, even in the spirit, there is a reflection of this man’s…” That was when my eyes opened, these things are not mechanical. Church Gist. You find yourself replicating what the person carries. Whatever works in his hand, works in my hand without sweat. I don’t struggle, it just works. Sometimes, the same message topic will be the same thing they are preaching in Canaanland, the same thing, they will tell me sir “the thing you preached today is the same thing, Papa preached.” Nothing, no discussion, the same direction, the same way. If you are not connected, find it out. If it’s not working for you, something is missing. You just replicate grace where you are coming from. I pray that somebody by connectivity will replicate what he carries here in the name of Jesus. If what is working here for instance, is not working in your hand, then something is missing. Something is? Missing! You cannot be truly connected and not reflect what that place carries.
2. You enjoy divine covering. Elisha and his servants in 2 Kings 6, the servant did not need… there are certain things… his own father’s grace covers him too. Are you hearing me now? There are certain things that his grace covers us that we know that this is not us, the covering over us is because of the father’s grace. Church Gist. When you are truly connected, their grace just covers you. There is no way the Copeland’s and Adeboye’s grace is not covering him, there is no way he is not covering us so if you are connected, you will find out that there are certain things you know would have happened to you if not for the man that you are connected to and the covering over our father, you will enjoy it also.
3. Errors are eliminated. You just heard the story, just imagine me if I went to build a cathedral for a crusade ground, what would have happened? After spending billions, it would have been useless. It would have been? That error was eliminated because I came to him a mentor and I said “this is what I want to do” From experience he just did like this and said no and I chose to honour his voice o, that’s why I stopped because I can say “Well, I am a man of God too.” Men of God are in sizes, I know you are a man of God, God called you but there are some boys of God. You are a man of God, when you come to Canaanland, you are a boy of God. Are you hearing me now? So calm down. Errors are what? Eliminated! There are certain things they will tell you, they will tell you “hey!” In this family for instance, your family cannot be in London and you will be pastoring in Nigeria but there are families where the wife will be assistant Pastor in London, the husband will be Pastor in Nigeria. Marriage has ended, there is no way because our father, no way, it is not this family! You can’t keep your wife somewhere. You know some of you, your wife is pastoring somewhere, in this family do they do so? Because it is your family, you say even it’s an error, you just avoid yourself you are not in that error. Your wife will be with the children overseas, you say they are schooling overseas and then here… Okay o.
4. You receive good counsel. Receive what? You receive good counsel. We are receiving counsel, are we not receiving counsel and we will still receive more counsel. Counsel does not mean he has to sit with you, I have told, when he is talking, when I come I have two things I do in my note, I have a place where I record message and a place I write decisions and actions but decisions and actions are more important. So, when he is teaching I listen to the one that is very hard and corrective, I will go to the back of my diary and say decision and actions, put this to practice. Those decisions are more stronger than the note I copy even in Shiloh. So, the counsels we receive cancels all the problems of your life.
Finally, you enjoy supernatural speed.
5. You enjoy supernatural speed. The speed today some of us are enjoying is because we have a father. We have a what? Supernatural speed, speed that is unprecedented. Speed that is what? Okay, just imagine me trying to read Genesis to Revelation to know about prosperity. I would have died. I would have what? Breaking financial hardship has summarized how to come out of poverty and that counsel from the book and the things he has said which I have heard gave me speed. Gave me what? Speed! You want to run ministry, I have shared that here before, counsel, sit in your assignment, don’t go from . He came one day to the class and said listen let me tell young people, if you want to be a great pastor, you must not move from Shomolu to Bariga, Shomolu to Bariga for those of you who are online is in Lagos, the commercial city of Nigeria. He said sit down, running around cannot make you a great Pastor and me I like to move before then, to sit in one place where like punishment, I like to drive from Victoria Island to Ogba, Ogba move back again and he said “sit down!” From that day, you will need grace for me to go out now, one counsel. I know some of you to sit one place, you say I am an evangelist, evangelist are you doing crusade? You just move from one place to another, evangelist does not mean you cannot sit down? Because I am an evangelist, God has told me, I am evangelist. Evangelist does not mean you should be moving up and down, did you see Billy Graham and Reinhard Bonnke moving up and down? Your own evangelist is to move up and down, no sit down. You say “God told me I am an evangelist, so I can’t sit in one place, no no! Billy Graham did not move up and down, you are not the first evangelist. Church Gist. Don’t use it to deceive yourself. One counsel can just cancel all errors. I pray that we put these things to practice. When you look at a mentor, your future is bright. Nobody will suffer defeat.
