Kacou 62 : Who are you sir?

(Preached on Wednesday evening, May 30, 2007 in Abobo, Abidjan - Ivory Coast)

1 Talking of infallibility, I said it must be seen as a seal, in the sense of a postmark or stamp; it means that before the prophet enters the scene, God puts a sign on him, He writes on him: "infallible". Then no matter what he is going to do or say, he is infallible.

2 And God can allow things to separate the darnel from the wheat but that will not affect the infallibility of this prophet. You see? That is it, and that is why the Bible never reports the life of a prophet messenger. The Bible says that such or such a king did what is good or evil in the eyes of Jehovah but how can one say that a prophet messenger did not walk rightly before God? You see?

3 Well. Let’s take our Bible now in the book of Acts of the Apostles. Acts chapter 9 and let’s read the first five verses. I am going to read that. "But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of Heaven, and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord"?]

4 You see? Paul says to the light, "Who art thou, Lord"? This is the beginning of Christianity and cannot be different from the beginning of Judaism. Moses on the other side! Paul on this side! The Angel of the burning bush was God Himself and on this side, the Angel on the way of Damascus was the Lord Jesus Christ, God Himself. You see?

5 Moses met the supernatural and saw that thorn-bush which was not being consumed. And Moses said to the Angel who was commissioning him: Who are you Lord so that I can report it to the Jews when they put me the question? You see? Moses said: It is true that God is supernatural and that this burning thorn-bush is not the work of a man but who are you, Lord? And God said to Moses, "… Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you." What happened there, at the beginning of Judaism, was a sign to all the Jews and Paul, a true son of Judaism could not but apply it. You see?

6 Paul was moving quite confidently towards Damascus and all of a sudden, a light shone out of Heaven. This light was more powerful than all the anointing of Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist churches including Islam and Judaism combined. And this light caused Paul to fall down because he was an opponent of Christ at that time. This light can never cause a poor soul in search of the grace of God to fall. You see?

7 Any anointing that would cause a poor soul in search of healing or deliverance to fall is of the devil! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. Before the enemies or opponents of God, fire was called down! Before Sodom and Gomorrah, fire was called down! Before the fifty men of Ahaziah, fire was called down! But whoever will call fire upon a poor soul in search of healing or deliverance is a demon incarnated! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]…

8 Well! What did Moses do before this great revelation? He asked the voice that spoke to him: Who are You, Lord? Amen! And on the way to Damascus, when this light shone, Paul fell. Paul lost all strength; Paul lost consciousness. He saw that it was the end of his life!

9 Paul faced death but when he regained consciousness, what happened? Did he say: This is too supernatural, thus it’s God? No! Did he say: given this power, this must be the Almighty God who came down upon the mountain of Sinai! You see? But he put the old and ultimate question which Moses and the fathers have always put. Paul said: I have seen your great glory, I have seen your great might which threw me on the ground, I’ve heard your voice of thunder, … BUT WHO ARE YOU LORD? [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. … You defeated me that’s true but who are you? You see?

10 Who are You, Lord? Here is the question mankind failed to ask today. If there is a multitude of false prophets today, it is because mankind failed to do it. Look all over the earth, how many Jews are seduced by Tommy Osborn, Billy Graham, Morris Cerullo or Yonggi Cho? There is none, they are not distracted. You see?

11 If there is an Israeli embassy in our country, it is because there are Jews here but how many of them are in our churches? There is none! You see? If Benny Hinn made a real Jew fall at a prayer meeting, this Jew would yell at him: I see that you are a powerful man but who are you? [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].

12 See the case of John the Baptist in John 1:19 to 23: "And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou? And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No. They said therefore to him, Who art thou? That we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. ". You see?

13 When the Jews learnt all John the Baptist was doing, what did they do? Did they send the priests and Levites to go and see whether the things they had learnt were so? No! Did they send these priests and Levites to see the prosperity of his ministry or the numerous converts and what he was dressed of? No!

14 Did they send these priests and Levites to ask for a collaboration or to request John the Baptist’s adhesion to the federation of churches? No! You see? Did they send these priests or Levites to invite John the Baptist to come and preach in their synagogues? No! But the Bible says that the Jews sent the priests and Levites to ask John, who he was. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].

15 John said: I am not the Christ! They said: Alright, but who are you? He said: I am not this or that but they said: Alright, so who are you? Tell us who you are! You see? Even if John said: "I have three thousand faithful on this side, I have got some assemblies in every city, I have got some assemblies in France, in Belgium … I’ve worked such and such miracles, I wrote such and such books… I have a twenty-year experience … " These Jews would not be distracted! What they are interested in is who he is! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].

16 Does the Bible say that at this moment, in this place, a man will do what you are doing as it was the case of the prophets of the Bible? [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. You see? Despite the Jews’ error, even though it was said in John 8:44 that they were sons of the devil, they had, at least, the wisdom to ask John who he was because the Jewish blood was flowing in them. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].

17 Do whatever you want before a Jew, have the fame, raise some dead people, have the world for you… he will ask you: SIR, WHO ARE YOU? [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. Because that is what mankind failed to do. Today, if some Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist bishops, prophets, reverends seduce the earth, it is because mankind has missed this question. As they are sons of the devil, then for them, everything that is supernatural is God. You see?

18 Whether you go down into a burning bush as Moses did, any Jew or son of God, small or great, will ask you who you are! Make a Jew fall in a vigil of prayer, still on the ground like Paul, he will yell at you, "Who are you sir"? But a son of the devil will say, "Oh! See how powerful he is!" You see? …

19 Even if an angel comes down, it is the same! The son of God will ask that Angel, "Who are you, Sir"? That is it! Does the Bible say that in the time we are living in you shall come… Will God send someone like you to manifest what you are doing? That is it.

20 In Luke 1, a man said strange things to Zacharias. And Zacharias did not know that he was an Angel. After having heard these things if he asked directly who this man was, he would not be mute! You see? It was a confusion for a priest like him.

21 Let’s read it now in Luke 1:19: "And the Angel answering, said to him, *I* am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee... " Zacharias did not have to consider the old age of his wife but he simply had to say to this man, "What you are telling me is strange! A man cannot say that, so who are you, Lord"? But instead of that, he who is a Jew and moreover a priest, worries about his old age. To the point that Gabriel answered the question saying, "I am Gabriel, who stand before God ".

22 Read through all the Bible and you will see that it is that. When John the Baptist himself sent his disciples towards Jesus, it was not to see if the rumours of miracles which reached him were so; but the question was: WHO ARE YOU? Are you really the Christ? You see?

23 And Jesus Himself in Matthew 16, seeing his disciples, felt compassion. People were following Him because He spoke of God, of Moses, of the law and of the prophets; He healed the sick, raised the dead but none of the disciples dared to ask who He was. For them He was a true man of God, that’s all! And one day, Jesus Himself asked the question in their place.

24 I am going to read it in Matthew 16:13 to 14: "But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, He demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the son of man am? And they said, Some, John the Baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets. He says to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am? ". [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. You see? They did not even know who they were following! The important thing for them is that Jesus talks to them about Moses and about the prophets. That’s what mankind failed to do today. You see?

25 If you see that Tommy Osborn, Yongi Cho, Chris Oyakhilome, David Owuor, Emmanuel Makandiwa, Uebert Angel, T. B. Joshua, David Oyedepo, Ewald Frank, Morris Cerullo or Reinhard Bonnké is supernatural, the biblical logic orders that he should be asked, "Sir, who are you? Does the Bible say that you will do what you are doing today? Did the Bible announce you like John the Baptist? Does the Bible say that the time in which we are living a man of your race will rise in this generation to do what you are doing? Has GOD called and commissioned you like Moses, Paul or one of the prophets? ... We see all your miracles, your anointings, your knowledge but who are you? Tell us who you are!".

26 If you see that Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, Doug Batchelor, Billy Graham, Edir Macedo, Valdemiro Santiago, Silas Malafaia, Paula White, Joyce Meyer, Alberto Mottesi, Claudio Freidzon or Dante Gebel is supernatural, that is the question you should ask him if you are a son of God.

27 If you see that Benny Hinn, Manasseh Jordan, Joaquim Gonçalves, Donald Parnell, Alejandro Bullón or Guillermo Maldonado is supernatural, the bible logic orders that he be asked, "Sir, who are you? Does the Bible say that you will do what you are doing? Did the Bible announce you like John the Baptist? Does the Bible say that the time in which we are living a man of your race will rise in this generation to do what you are doing? Has GOD called and commissioned you like Moses, Paul or one of the prophets? ... We see all your miracles, your anointings, your knowledge but who are you? Tell us who you are!" But they cannot answer because they are sorcerers and magicians under Joel 2:28 and 1 Corinthians 2:4 to 5. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].

28 Who are you, sir? You, Benedict XVI, … You, presidents of churches, … You, reverends, Bishop, … You, anointed prophets, … You who are opening churches, missions and ministries, who are you? You, in big hairy tuxedos, you whose good scent before men is stinking before God like the odour of hairy goats in Daniel 8, who are you? You whose posters and photographs are strewn on walls, who are you? WHO ARE YOU SIRS? In virtue of which divine mandate are you doing that?      

29 Tell us who you are so that we can give an answer to those who will ask us. Are you Matthew 25:6 made flesh? Are you the Christ? Are you the prophet? Are you the light of the world? Are you the one who has got the keys of the Kingdom today on earth? ... So who are you Sir? Tell us who you are? ... O God! Thank You and the honour be to You, to the ages of the ages [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].

30 Let’s stand up in a spirit of prayer … If you are here for the first or second time or even the third time and you have not yet accepted this Message, raise simply your hand to say that I believe that this Message is the one that has come like the ark of Noah today for my Salvation. Raise simply your hand to say that you accept It now!...

31 And, after you have listened to this preaching, if you believe that I am the prophet who has to come for our generation according to Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14 raise your hand and ask whatever you want grounded on this faith and this will be granted to you. And may God bless you and bless your commitment forever! Amen!
