The Dangers of Offending God

Teaching from Rodwater Faith Ministry’s YouTube channel.

Message overview

Bishop Liberty uses Israel’s story to teach about God’s protection, obedience and the consequences of turning away from Him. After introductory reflections on family, faith and spiritual nourishment, the message follows Balak and Balaam and the attempts to curse Israel.

The teaching then considers Israel’s later involvement in idolatry with Moab and the account of the golden calf. The bishop urges spiritual discernment and faithfulness, and the service closes with congregational worship and prayer.

Because those days we will say everybody bring out your Bible. Is it not so? But now is in phone now. So what do why do I need to be deceiving myself? Everybody bring out your Bible. You don't have a Bible, bring out your phone. Amen. Everybody bring out your phones. Then if you now have a book like my own, bring out your Bible. Amen.

9:01 — Let us read verse 10. One to go. And Barack anger was kindled against Bam. And he smoothed his hand together. And Barack said unto Baleam, I called thee to cause my enemy. I want you to mark that word. I called you to cause my who? Say it again. I called thee to cause mine. And behold, thou has all together blessed them there three times. Three times he blessed them. Have your seat.

10:00 — The Bible said that many are the afflictions of the righteous. He said, "But God deliver them from it all." Many. So there are many people who want to afflict you. There are many. Oh, trust me they are. Immediately I saw a young man some years ago. He was telling me I just bought this. I just I'm just building a house. I'm just doing this. I said how old are you? He told me he's 27. Then I said are you married? Say no. I said you have signed your debt warrant. He said how? I said the moment you start making money and you don't have a wife, you don't have a child, 90% of the member of your family are wishing you dead.

11:02 — You say I never think like that. I said that's why I say you should be coming to church because we give wisdom and the word we speak according to the scripture they are life and spirit. When this young man said he wants to marry all hell broke loose. Have you ever noticed that when you want to marry people start fighting your family? They will just carry the matter for we don't like this woman and you stay with her. They will just be angry unnecessarily. You can imagine what my wife was saying just now. I was say don't go too far. Don't go too far. Amen. We are national TV. Don't fight now. Me want marry but people they fight. How is it your business? There are people who don't want you to succeed. And if you are not in the bosom of God, they will bring you out and chew you like your gum. They will chew you like your gum. Many

12:02 — people lost their parents not because their parents is time for them to die. because they see their parents as an adversary that because of this woman your son is not giving me money. If I clear him as the auntie as the uncle I go they collect everything. We had a telephone in my house in Benin. They Mike knows mine very well. People who come to my apartment to receive phone that was when I know that the word is wicked. Do we hear them speaking dangerous things? will be flying as if they are photographers. Kill this one for me. Pin this one for me. Do this one for me. Even the person that was close to Ross very well brought four photograph of people here in Italy. I'm not joking. I saw it.

13:03 — say, "I want you to deal with this person." The children of Israel, we all know their story. How God through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, raised them up and blessed them. Genesis chap 22 1617. God even said in blessing, I will bless you. He that cost you I will cause. God said, "This is my people. I selected them out among the nations that I will make them my people. And he said these are my people. And God protected them. The Bible say in the wilderness that God put shoes on their leg for 40 years and they shoe never fired up. What? Some of you have used shoe for two years. You can't use it again. God put shoe on their food. gave them mana in the wilderness. Gave them water from the rock when it was not supposed break the

14:01 — water into two so that they will pass through the what you now call the red sea. The Bible say God was their God in all areas. And when they came out of Egypt, the Bible said they came out with so much possession that they were the wealthiest. But [snorts] the scripture said that the king of Moab, Barack saw it that the children of Israel, they are beginning to get more prosperous and anything can happen. And the Bible said he went out and looked for a man called Bellam who has the ability to cause and cast a spear. And when he cast this spear, the the spear stand. Listen, I've had some people say nothing happen even if he caus you the joke. Oh, if he go juju for your sake, he has released spirit. Every time I you say a parent

15:00 — said to the son, you decree, you don't release spirit and that spirit will never go back. Even if you cast the spirit of grace away, he's going somewhere. That's why the Bible say when you cast out an evil spirit from a man, the spirit go out to places looking for where to stay because it's already a spirit. He does not have any home address. He's moving from everywhere. But the Bible said how when the spirit find out again and return and come and check that person they cast the spirit away from that the person is now okay that the spirit can return. No more church, no more spiritual things, no more fasting, no more prayer. The Bible said that the spirit will not just come, he will go and collect more seven wicked spirit to come and settle in that person's life. The person will be speaking very good English and he will be the one to tell you that my life is very okay. No problem. I'm good. But the truth of the matter, demon has taken over.

16:02 — Now Barack said to Balam, "Did you see these people?" He said, "Yes, I want you to cause them for me and I will pay you big money." And he said, "What?" And the scripture said that Balam, some say he's a prophet, some say he's a native doctor. But anyone who can cut his spear is not a man of God. Do you know that there are some native doctor when you meet them, you look said, they tell you the truth. In those days because Bellam was one of the native doctor, witch doctor, demonic doctor in those days God speak to him, sat and speak to him. So both of them have to use them, use him. So that was how the Balam the king of Moab Barack said go and hire him and I will pay him. When he received the message, THE BIBLE SAY HE SADDLE his house, his horse. And

17:00 — while he was going to go and perform the cause, God appeared to him. He said, "Bail the people you are going to cause are my people. You don't cause those who am who I have blessed. What you are going to do when you go there, it is what I tell you you will do." The man say who? But the money was attractive while he set his heart to go and cause Israel. If God has allowed it, Israel would have been finished today. There would have never be Israel's nation. While he was going on his horse, the Bible say the angel of God stood on the way and draw his knife. And when the horse saw it, the horse tried to go this way and go this way. And Balam was angry. He told the horse move and the horse went this way. By the time he pressurized the horse, the horse fell on him and he got angry and beat the horse. Pow! And the horse say, "Open his mouth.

18:03 — I have been serving you all these years. Have I ever misbehaved?" Bam said to the horse, "No, you have been very nice, but today you have misbehaved." When Bam was about to strike the horse again, the angels of the Lord opened the eyes of Balam and he saw the angel with a sword and Bam fell down. He said, "I didn't know you are the one that stopped the horse." He said, "Why are you beating your animal? I have only told you when you get there don't say what you want to say. Just say what I want you to say." And the Bible said that when he saw the miracle of God, he went to Barak, the king of Moab. He said, "Okay, now what you going to do?" And Mo Barak said, "I'm going to double your money. All I want you to do curse the children of Israel. There are what we call angle." He went to one of the angle. He made an altar. As he lift up his oracle to

19:01 — pronounce curse against the children of Israel, the Bible said the spirit of God came upon him and he began to prophesy. These are the chosen nation. They shall be strong and they shall be mighty. No weapon formed against them shall prosper. And the Bible say he began to prophesy as he keep prophesying and receiving the receiving releasing the blessing on the children of Israel that Barack got angry and ask stop. This is not why I brought you. This is not the reason I contracted you. Why are you doing this? And Bam said to Barack, I cannot cause those who the Lord has blessed. Have I not told you THAT THOSE THAT GOD has blessed cannot because he said don't worry I will take you to another angle. He position another angle very sharp corner. He say see them from this angle. What you going to do now?

20:00 — Forget about everything that has happened there. I will double your money from 1 million to $2 million. All you need to do cost them. The man saw the money. He said made me an altar. He stood at the angle as he took up the Cesar which is the oracle as he was about to lay cause he said I saw mighty men people that are coming to take over the earth people that are violent people of God he said this one that I see they cannot be caused he began to bless them and bail the bible say barak was angry he said stop you cannot do this I called you to c my enemy why are you blessing them he or God what I will do I will double the money from $3 million to $4 MILLION WHAT YOU ARE going to do right now come to this angle this angle is very sharp yet you will see everything about them you will now understand what I'm saying that these people when you leave them alone they will take over the city of Ferrara they will buy a house

The Bible said he prophesy. No more the scripture said when Saul sent messengers uh to go and kill David that David ran to the house OF GOD. UH WHILE DAVID WAS THERE ENJOYING THE presence of God that Saul sent first messenger. When they got there they began to prophesy. I am sent

The Bible says Saul said, "No, no, no." When he had the noise, he sent another messenger. When they got there, they began to prophesy again. He sent another one. They got there, he began to prophesy again. Then Saul said he want to go BY HIMSELF. UH WHEN YOUR GIANT is released, God will be with you. I said when your giant your enemy say for what?
