| God's friend Abraham |
Prophet T.P Elias preached this message on
Monday night 18th of June, 2012.
The proof reading was taken from Matthew 18: 1 and the main subject of
the night was dubbed ‘BE A FRIEND TO GOD’.
In his introduction, Prophet Elias said only a friend to God will inherit the
kingdom of heaven. He said that there is no flesh and blood that will inherit
God’s kingdom because God is spirit and they that worship him should do so in
spirit and in truth.Only men and women who are born of the
spirit will be heirs of God's kingdom. Prophet Elias further said that the
things of the spirit can never be conceived by the natural man. Such things are
foolishness to those who are perishing. He said the things of the spirit are
power of God in Christ Jesus to those who are born of the spirit.
No matter how educated one can be, he said,
without the spirit of God that person can never understand the things of God.
One can only understand the things of God by being a friend to him.The prophet said a friend of God is he who
walks and does things with him every-time, everywhere and on daily bases. He
said even though God is everywhere not everyone has access to him. He also said
that even though God was in the mist of the church and everywhere else not all
were walking with him.
WHO IS THE GREATEST?
 |
| Candidates of the kingdom of heaven |
The Prophet said this question is still
posed in churches today just like the way the apostles of Jesus did centuries
ago. In answer some say it is the apostles, the prophets or pastors. When Jesus
answered, He brought a child before them and said, 'Whoever shall humble
himself like this child, He is the greatest of them all'. Jesus also told them
that whoever fails to turn and be humble like a child was no candidate for the
kingdom of heaven.
“You may be an apostle or prophet but with
pride, then you are nothing. A child is the only creature that does not have
pride upon itself”, Prophet Elias said.
Prophet Elias also said that Jesus’ example
shows today’s church that the kingdom of heaven is not for apostles and
prophets but for those who humble themselves like babes. A child just like a
slave, does all things in submissiveness, humility and compliance at all times
despite the circumstances and unfavourable conditions that surrounds him/her. Whoever wants to inherit the kingdom
of God should act like wise. The kingdom of God is for those willing to step
down to the status of a servant.
“When you see yourself as a christian
failing to obey a man of God in the house of God, know that you cannot obey
God. How can you obey God whom you never saw when you fail to obey the one that
you see everyday”.
He went on to say, “If you call me daddy
you must know what you mean. Many of you call me daddy but my children I know.
Many said unto Jesus Lord, Lord, but He said His sheep He knew. Even though
many called him Lord, Lord not many were to inherit the kingdom of heaven”,
Prophet Elias was referring to those who in church submitted to him as their
father but when in public squares called him a son because of his youthfulness.
He was saying that he who incarnated and dwells in him (Christ) is greater and deserves
reverence at all times.
The
Kingdom of God is not for the Erudite
Prophet Elias said most people today lament
for higher positions in churches influenced by their educational
qualifications, worldly positions and the amount of money that they have. He
said in today’s churches Pastors without spiritual insight have been deceived
and they have awarded these people influential positions like church director,
evangelist etc. Prophet Elias slammed
such biasness. He said a church is not run by experience but by a vision.
“Today when a church member wins a tender
of P1million, immediately after that he is given the position of church
director. It can’t happen here! I am richer than a millionaire. What I do, I don’t do for money. I am beyond
riches. People who are looking for riches are the ones who are looking for
money”, he said.
The Holy servant of God taught that the
kingdom of God is not defined by speaking in tongues.Neither is it inherited by
one’s level of prophecy. He said humility is the best ground for cultivating
faith, hope and love. Where there is no humility, love can never exist just as
sorghum cannot grow where there is no ground.
BE A FRIEND TO GO
The core message of the day
was extracted from the whole chapter of James 4. Prophet Elias started by
reading verses 1-3, which says. ‘What causes war and what causes fighting
amongst you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members? So you
fight and wage war. You do not have because you do not ask; you desire and do
not have so you kill; and you covert and cannot obtain.
Prophet Elias said the proof text was
talking to the church today. He said today there are many wars in Christianity,
within Christians and within the church. While some were fighting for church
positions others are at loggerheads over concubines.
“When the Lord said Elias, it is time to
show my saving grace to the world I was alone. I obeyed God and I began this
church. But today many are fighting. They want Elias position. Where were you
when God said Elias start the church”?
The man of God said fights were a result of
people who fail to ask from God for what they wanted. If one asks sincerely God
gives. Greed and jealousy are the major catalyst for such fights. God is ready
to lift us up if we humble themselves.
“When you see another man going somewhere
in life it is a moment to humble yourself.
That is the secret to greatness”, the man of God Papa T.P said that
instead of humility people have allowed pride to control them. The more one
humbles himself, the more God lifts him up to a greater level.
“I saw a great man of God on television in
year 2005 and I humbled myself towards him and his God even though I only saw
him on television. I prayed and said if God could make me like this man then I
would also transform my own nation in the same manner. One day I heard this
mighty man of God saying that he was praying that God would raise someone like
him or beyond’. In humility I said in my heart that I am that man that God
shall raise and I believed”.
According to the man of God if one wants to
be the greatest in the kingdom of God he must be the least. Humility paves a
way and makes the impossible possible. It has turned the least of all into the
greatest and mighty men of the kingdom of heaven.
WHY
PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED
 |
| Praying congregation |
For James 4:3 says, ‘You ask and you do
not receive because you ask wrongly to spend it in your passions. Unfaithful
creatures, don’t you know that friendship with the worlds is enmity with God’
Prophet Elias
said had it not been for the wrong reasons that people ask from God he could
have blessed all with their heart’s desires. He said some have asked and were
given but did not utilise their blessings to the glory of God. Through those
blessings they have submerged in worldly pleasures whereas some have turned
their blessings into idols.
“You are made a
prophet today and tomorrow you are already asking your congregation to buy you
a helicopter. You are given a husband today and the next thing you are
idolizing and worshiping him more that the way you worship God. In that way you
can not be a friend of God for a man who loves pleasure is a friend to the
world and an enemy to God”, he said.
According to
Prophet Elias, It is hard for God to bless his enemies. God resists the proud
and gives grace to the humble. Grace is the only thing that makes people to
inherit the riches of God. It is the passport to breakthroughs in every sphere
of one’s life and grace comes through faith from a heart that is humble. As he
summed up his sermon, Prophet Elias flowed down with the whole chapter of James
4, taught mightily, slammed and corrected leaving many lamenting within for
forgiveness, mercy and grace from above.
Quotes from Prophet T.P Elias
Christ Only: “I have seen many Christians going into the streets and claiming
that their man of God is the best in the world and their church is the best in
the world. That is pride. The best, and only the best is Jesus”.
Resist the Devil: “When the devil comes some people give him a hug. They say, hello
devil. The bible says resist the devil and he will flee from you”
Form of the Devil: “When the Devil comes he does not come with
horns. He may come camouflaged in a brother, sister, a man or a woman. Just
like God when he comes to men he comes packaged inside a human being”.
Secret to Greatness: “When you see another man going somewhere
in life, it is a moment for you to humble yourself. That is the secret to greatness”,
PROPHECIES AND THEIR CONFIRMATIONS
SPIRIT
HUSBAND EXPOSED.
During
the second phase of the Monday night service Prophet Elias summoned a woman
wearing a black jacket and eyeglasses to the front. He asked her how she was
faring and when she said fine he requested that he speak into her life. When
the woman agreed the prophet asked her the whereabouts of her husband, and she
said that he had remained at home. The prophet said that he was not concerned
much about her husband but the other man he saw in the spirit.

| Prophecy to Mosidi Paledi |
“He is a spirit husband and
he is trying to destroy your home. The Lord wants to set you free tonight” The
prophet further told her that there was a lot of havoc in her marriage caused
by the destructive power of the spiritual husband. “This has made your husband
to look like completely nothing in the home but I’m praying for you right now
you will be delivered in the name of Jesus”, he said.
Papa
T.P further told the woman that all her efforts to success were shuttered on
the verge of breakthrough. He said the cause was the spirit husband.
Confirmation
My name is Mosidi Paledi. All the words of
the man of God are true. This man has always come to me in dreams and he makes
love to me. Some time ago I dreamt being circumcised by a man whose face I did
not see. Then after that I saw a man cutting my ears. Since then I have had no
affection for my husband. My marriage is on the verge of tearing apart. All
things that I do to progress my life fall apart on the verge of breakthrough
and I have always wondered where I have gone wrong in my life. I have long
prayed for this day to come and I thank God for my deliverance today.
DELIVERED FROM A SPIRIT OF DEATH
Prophet
Elias also called out the name Janet. He said the woman had artificial hair.
When the woman came in front the man of God said to her,
“Janet I want to speak
to you. Pray against sudden death. They are pursuing you with death. I see a
shadow following you but when you turn around you see nothing. This is a
hindrance; once you are delivered today everything shall be fine for you. There
is nothing that you can do and prosper as long as that thing is following you.
Don’t worry everything is ok. Pray for yourself and pray against the spirit of
stroke in your family. This is the last day that you will suffer again”.

Confirmation
My name is Janet Melefe. I am 24-years old.
What the man of God said to me tonight is
true and I thank Jesus for my deliverance
INJECTED WITH A PYTHON SPIRIT
 |
| Casting out out the demon |
Prophet
Elias also called forward a teenage girl who was on the emergency line and sought
her permission to prayed for her. He called out the mother of the girl and told
her that her child was a snake and the spirit was injected into her by a
'pastor'.
“The spirit was injected by
a 'pastor' that you took her to”. The man of God blew air towards the girl. She
staggered around stubbornly and later tumbled down to the ground. She was set
free and ready to be returned back to school as the word of the Lord commanded.
To
the mother of the girl he said, “ I see a migraine. It is no ordinary headache
but a frontal migraine. I can also see your heart. At times it beats abnormally
even when you are not afraid of anything. The Lord is setting you free”. My name is Kaarukire Kandapaera, age 62. I
stay at Thito ward Maun. I believe the prophecy to be true because a spirit has
been tormenting my girl for some time now. This resulted in her leaving school.
We all thought that she has a psychiatric problem. Whenever the spirit
possessed her she screamed and said that I have changed her into a snake. She
uttered bizarre things and at times communicated as if exchanging words with
someone invisible. Whenever she entered that status we took her to
Letsholathebe II Memorial Hospital where they admitted her under the
psychiatric unit. It’s true I have taken her to some pastors here in Maun but I
wasn’t aware that they injected an evil spirit into her. The prophecy about me
is also true. As we are speaking now my head is aching. The storyabout my heart
is also true
The Girl
My name is Unotje Kandapaera. I was born in
1995 and I am a student at Tshwaragano Junior Secondary School. I do not know
what happened to me today but I opened my eyes to see myself on the ground.
Before that my body was as heavy as if I was carrying a log but now I feel very
light and refreshed. It is true my mother took me to some pastors for prayers.
We went to a certain church and a pastor there used to inject me with a needle.
I didn’t want to go there but she forced me. I hope today she has learnt a lesson
and she will take me to no other church except this one. I thank the man of God
for my deliverance.
YOUR STORM IS OVER
The
man in the picture was sitting on the emergency line when the Holy servant of
God Prophet T.P Elias spoke to him. He said to him,
I want to see you because
you have so many troubles. It’s like coming here was your only last option and
what is happening to you now is the last thing that you ever thought about. You
are welcome. Turning to the congregation, he said, he is not somebody who could
have come here. If you see him here it is really difficult. Brother, your storm
is over!
CONFIRMATION
My name is Othata Masedi and I live here in
Maun. It is true I am sinking in deep problems. I owe banks
and my businesses
are collapsing due to my bankruptcy. I have sold all my cars in an attempt to
clear my credits but that hasn’t helped. I have been to various traditional
doctors seeking for help and just two days back I returned from Nigeria to see
Prophet T.B Joshua but he didn’t speak into my life. It is true this is my last
bus stop. I am so shocked that I travelled places and places leaving help at
hand here at home. I glorify God who identified me today. I am willing to submit
to the will of God and to do everything that the man of God will say to me when
we meet as appointed.
