00:10I'd rather be poor in spirit, oh Lord, than to be rich in the eyes of the world.
00:22I'd rather be poor in spirit, oh Lord.
00:30And then, as you know, in school, before you go to class, they used to call us and we would
00:39assemble for some prayers, general prayers.
00:44And I remember I was in these lower classes and I had never done it before.
00:51And they used to call people to come and lead players.
00:57And this time, I didn't know when I came to assemble and I was too shy to do that.
01:05I didn't know what to do.
01:07So, the one who was leading, our teacher, happened to point at me and he called me to lead prayers.
01:18And I said in my heart, wow, I didn't know what to do.
01:24But I picked the college and I went, of course, because, as you know, you are before these pupils and
01:35the students.
01:38If you fail to do it, they would again say so many things and begin to tease you.
01:46And I never wanted that.
01:48So, I said, let me go.
01:50So, I went ahead and I instructed them, it's time for prayer, let's pray.
01:58So, I just phoned myself saying a prayer, which I didn't know by then that it had affected someone who
02:10was really important.
02:11And this was the head teacher.
02:14So, after we were sent to our classes, the head teacher had noticed and he called me and he was
02:26interviewing me how I was able to do it.
02:29And then he encouraged me.
02:32And he said, wow, did I make a difference in people's lives?
02:38So, it kept, it was, it stuck on my heart so heavily.
02:45So, by the time I gave my life to Christ, it was one of the things that compelled me because
02:53it was always on my mind and on my heart that I could lead prayer.
03:01Maybe I could do something for God.
03:04So, when I gave my life to Christ and this minister who led me through the confession, as I was
03:16confessing, so he prayed over me and he was kind of prophesying unto me that I was chosen to do
03:29the work of God.
03:30I will share the gospel and so many other things he said.
03:36And that was a confirmation to me.
03:39And he prayed that I be filled with the Holy Spirit.
03:43And by then I felt my life changed and I was kind of, I felt something I have never felt
03:55before in my heart.
03:56And when I got up, I felt a desire to let other people know of what has happened to me.
04:07Even though I didn't know so much, but there and then I began to go and giving them a testimony
04:18of how I felt in my life, of how my life has been transformed.
04:24And I never went back.
04:28So, I began to join these teams that were preaching on the streets.
04:35We went by the markets and we were preaching.
04:41And one day I was put on a kind of a, I call it a test.
04:47Somebody in the crowd, as we were witnessing, we used to go and sing and clap our hands and dance.
04:55And then people would gather and one of us would come up and share the gospel.
05:01Right, right.
05:01Now, it was my turn.
05:03I came up to share the word and I didn't say much.
05:09And someone who didn't like it came out and wanted to stop me from preaching.
05:17So, he says, you know what?
05:19You cannot continue.
05:21I don't like.
05:23I don't want to hear.
05:25He called it this nonsense.
05:26And I felt that he was insulting God.
05:33So, I felt the power of God coming upon me so strong.
05:39And I said, man, you know, God who created the heavens and the earth has sent me here and he
05:47loves you.
05:49And I felt the peace and the joy as I was sharing.
05:55And this man, I didn't know that he was a soldier and because he was not putting on a uniform.
06:03So, he went back within a minute and then he came back and he commanded me.
06:09He said, if you don't stop because I was continuing.
06:14He says, I'm going to shoot you now.
06:18And when he said that, I felt the power of God so strong in my life, like never before.
06:30And it was like, if I die for the sake of the gospel, let me die.
06:38So, I said, God loves you.
06:42And before, you know, it was like five other soldiers came in abrupt.
06:50I thought in myself, maybe they are coming to arrest me, but they just came and disarmed this man and
07:00they arrested him and they took him away and they left me.
07:07So, from then, I had so many questions in my life and I said, how can this be?
07:16But it was an assurance to me that, you know, I called you for this purpose.
07:23And this is an assurance that I will be with you wherever you go.
07:28So, fear not.
07:30From that time, I picked the courage so strong and the boldness to share the love and the power of
07:41our Lord Jesus Christ.
07:42And since then, it was kind of a spark that helped me to continue sharing the gospel and letting people
07:55know about the love of God and how he is able to deliver whoever can surrender to his will.
08:07So, hallelujah.
08:08And my God, you know, that's so powerful, that story, especially, you know, you would think some of us, you
08:16know, you're watching today and you're thinking, man, this is so you literally just got saved.
08:23It wasn't like too long.
08:25Correct.
08:25I just want to confirm that it was not a long period of time from your salvation to that experience.
08:32That's right.
08:33So, you know, a lot of a lot of us don't think that, hey, you're telling me if I give
08:39my life to the for Christ, that it may cost me everything, including my life.
08:47Yes, it can.
08:48It could possibly cost you your life.
08:52But the victory behind it is no one can take that away and no one can overcome that.
09:00You know, a lot of us out there, you know, you're probably watching that.
09:03Some of us, you're in real situations.
09:06You know, we talked about gang activity.
09:09We talked about also being in another country.
09:11We talked about being surrounded by people who may want to harm you.
09:16But, you know, we highlight at times the parts about, okay, could this cost me my life?
09:25Will I get physically harmed?
09:26But there are testimonies out there of God protecting his people.
09:33God making a way for his people and bringing salvation to even the persecutors.
09:40Right.
09:40You know, I've seen that before, even in my life, so many different times.
09:46And I thank you for sharing that.
09:49We want to, because this is getting good, you guys.
09:52I don't know if you're getting anything from this.
09:55But we're going to go ahead and take a break for a second here.
09:59Remember, you can always take a look at the bottom of the screen and get involved in what God is
10:05doing through the men of God here.
10:06But we're going to take a quick break.
10:08I hope you're enjoying this.
10:10And make sure to get a pencil and pad with you so you can write down even what God is
10:16saying to you.
10:17And also where you can get encouragement in wherever you are in your life.
10:51We'll see you next time.
11:05We'll see you next time.
11:51We'll see you next time.
11:52And get plugged up to the fire of God.
11:55Remember that what's the theme and what we always try to tie it in is that it's the fire of
12:03God that is supposed to be sparked in your heart that can push you to preaching the gospel and letting
12:12your life and letting your light shine before the world.
12:15That's all this is about.
12:17And in every broadcast that you see.
12:20But I want to highlight something if you haven't if you haven't checked it out, make sure to check out
12:25the replay on what Bishop Fred said about how God called him into ministry.
12:32He mentioned a man that prophesied to him.
12:36Am I correct?
12:38Am I correct?
12:51He prophesied to him.
12:53And giving them insight about what God wants to do in their lives.
13:00So to keep it simple, because there's many words and terms out there, but to keep it simple, the prophetic
13:06is just what God is doing.
13:10That's all it means.
13:12It's let's not make it too complicated.
13:14That's right.
13:15That's right.
13:15The prophetic is, oh, it just means what God is doing.
13:19So if God is sending someone to prophesy to you, all it is, is God using someone to tell you
13:27what he's doing.
13:28I don't know why we make this thing so complicated, Bishop.
13:31Right.
13:31Why do we got to make this so complicated?
13:33But see, that's religion.
13:34But I want you to when you when you heard the prophecy from that individual, what did it do for
13:43you?
13:44Did it what did it do?
13:46Did it spark a fire in your heart?
13:48Did it cause you to get excited about what God is doing in your life?
13:52Like, what was your reaction when you first heard that, Bishop?
13:55Thank you so much.
13:58I would say it's very simple.
14:01Of course, when we we we we get to get an encounter with God in so many ways, it's God.
14:11God is going to use people.
14:13And these people, when they speak to you and your heart is open to listen and to receive, then it
14:23becomes simple.
14:24Because when it happened to me, then I had to, I had that desire.
14:32I felt that I can't keep back.
14:34I have to jump in and begin to do what has come and what what was now so much a
14:45conviction on my heart.
14:47So I, of course, I got involved in reaching out to different people and getting together with the people who
15:02we are preaching, reaching out.
15:04And I remember, of course, because this is the same pastor, who is my pastor, who prophesied to me.
15:15Wow.
15:16And he was now doing open air crusades and I was so much involved because of that, I felt I
15:26couldn't keep back.
15:27So we went to a certain town and I was now testifying, sharing a little bit.
15:38And after, because he gave him, he gave me an opportunity of sharing my testimony.
15:44And when I did, it was so much again an encouragement to me that after that, somebody came to me.
15:55And this man was one who saw me the day when that soldier wanted to shoot me.
16:08And he came and said to me that, do you remember in such and such a place when they wanted
16:18to shoot you?
16:20They said, yes.
16:22And he says, do you recognize me?
16:25I said, no.
16:27Who are you?
16:28And he says, you know, that time when I saw what happened and the boldness you had,
16:39I surrendered myself also.
16:42And I decided to give my life to Christ.
16:46And that was another encouragement that gave me more boldness.
16:51And I said, wow, if this man, by just seeing what happened to me,
17:03I was able to also consider his ways and decided to follow Christ,
17:09then I should not give up.
17:11This is another confirmation to me that God has called me.
17:17So from then, I never went back.
17:21I decided that I don't even need an angel to come from heaven to tell me that God has called
17:32you to preach the gospel.
17:34So then and then, I committed my life to read the Bible, to prayer.
17:41And God was building me so strong.
17:43I joined a school of ministry and I went to a Bible school, a local Bible school.
17:51And then I was continuing to get to know more, more of what God is, where he is for my
18:01life.
18:02And it was all a confirmation to me.
18:05So, I just wanted to encourage somebody there who may be listening to us.
18:12Sometimes, you don't have even to feel like shaking and jumping so much.
18:20It's just the fire in your heart.
18:25You will feel a desire.
18:26And once you open yourself and you are just in your programs to listen to what God has to say,
18:35then you will be in a good position to know what God wants to do in your life.
18:42Wow.
18:43Powerful, powerful.
18:45And I know you're being blessed.
18:48And I'm being blessed just by hearing this.
18:51You know, and we want to go on to the next question.
18:55I want you to answer this, Sean, because, Bishop, you kind of touched on it.
18:59And I just want to also point this out.
19:04Bishop, how many churches you oversee in Uganda?
19:08And it's, you know, let's put it out there.
19:11You know, a lot of people, when they hear Africa, you know, Africa is a continent, you guys.
19:16You know, do your history and your research, okay?
19:19Africa is a continent.
19:22But Uganda, where the bishop is from, that's a whole different country.
19:26That's right.
19:27All right?
19:27So, just like you have North America, South America, we're here in America, right?
19:31Or you're looking over, you're watching in India or Russia, wherever you're watching, those are continents.
19:37All right?
19:38So, some of us go back to school, all right?
19:43And, you know, get your geography right, you know, but don't feel too bad.
19:46You know, I almost didn't graduate high school as well.
19:48But, Lord, thank you, Jesus.
19:52But, yeah, but in Uganda, tell us a little bit about how many churches do you oversee in Uganda?
19:58Of course, as I shared at the beginning, I pastor Crisis Church, Uganda, and I have been blessed to have
20:12a responsibility of overseeing close to 200 churches now.
20:18These are the branch churches that we have established over the years.
20:26I work hand-in-hand with an evangelist who travels a lot to the rest of the African countries.
20:35We have an arm that reaches out to share the gospel because we thought that it was good for us
20:45to have an arm specifically reaching out to these areas where the gospel has not yet reached.
20:55And to encourage even those who have already listened to the gospel just to inspire them to make sure that
21:05they continue to advance the gospel.
21:08So, I work with Africa Harvest Mission also as a director and we do so many crusades.
21:17And we have, God has blessed us with a radio station whereby we have a way of reaching at least
21:28a certain number of people.
21:30So, it's, it can go up to a radius of 70 miles and then it's also a tool we use.
21:40So, I am in charge of overseeing close to 200 churches in Uganda.
21:49Wow.
21:49And that's, that's an awesome, mighty work.
21:52I mean, I give God a hand clap for that.
21:54And Sean, I don't know if, I encourage you out there to, when you, when you see also the link
22:04at the bottom of the screen here, see what Evangelism Global is doing with partnering with Bishop Fred here.
22:13There's some amazing, amazing footage.
22:16But before, you know, we get into, because right now we're just dealing with the second course.
22:21All right, before we get to the dessert, you know, let's wait for the dessert.
22:27But, but tell us, Sean, what is a series of events that led you to the Great Commission and being
22:37passionate about, about the harvest, which is souls?
22:41What led you to that?
22:43So, if you want to tell our viewers a little bit about that, what were the series of events that
22:49led to that?
22:49Oh, so it was 1988 and I was born, no, I'm just kidding.
22:58I mean, seriously though, the Lord, we are created in Christ Jesus for good works that he prepared for us
23:07since the foundation of the world.
23:09I could say that was the beginning.
23:11It started with Jesus.
23:14But, you know, I was telling my testimony that the way I came to Christ was coming into a church.
23:21I had heard the gospel and was plotting to knife the drummer of the church.
23:27Right, right.
23:28And then Jesus appeared to me.
23:31But I think that's where it began.
23:32And so, maybe more detail is that I was there thinking about knifing this, putting a knife to this drummer's
23:39throat.
23:40I was mad at the way he was looking at me.
23:42I thought he was testing me.
23:44I thought he was trying my manhood, you know, just by the way he shook my hand.
23:51And, but I saw the love that these Christians had.
23:54They had so much peace and joy.
23:57I mean, a real peace and joy.
23:58I had checked out other religions, but it was nothing like what they had.
24:03And I thought, wow, I want what they have.
24:05And about that moment, the pastor was going up to preach and he went to start to preach.
24:12And then he paused because the Lord spoke to him and he said, I'm not supposed to preach yet.
24:19All of us are supposed to pray.
24:21And he put the mic back and he went back to sit down.
24:24And as he sat down, all of these people started to drop to their knees.
24:28And I remember looking at this old lady in the aisle next to me.
24:31I still remember this.
24:33She started to pray and she was crying.
24:35I mean, real tears.
24:37Praying for people in prison.
24:39And I thought, what?
24:42I don't care about even my own mother.
24:46And this woman is praying for people in prison.
24:48Who cares about them?
24:50I was shocked by that love that they had.
24:55And so anyways, I decided I'm ready to give my life to Jesus.
24:58I think the gospel is true.
25:00I put my hands in the air and I didn't know what to say.
25:03I was just there with my hands in the air and not knowing what to say.
25:06And about that moment, I feel this hand on my right shoulder.
25:11And this man begins to speak and to pray everything that I'm thinking.
25:15But I didn't know how to put it into words.
25:17You know, what do you say to God if you've been calling and calling and finally he answers the phone?
25:22What do you say?
25:23Right, right.
25:25And he began to say, Lord, I have this hard heart and I want your spirit and I want to
25:29be forgiven and I don't want to go to hell.
25:32And I, you know, forgive me and give me this new life and I want to be born again.
25:35And I thought, yeah, I want all of that.
25:40I want all of that.
25:41What he just said, God?
25:42Yeah, that.
25:45But then I said, you know, actually, I realize now the reason I've lived my life feeling empty and worthless.
25:53And I've sinned.
25:56I've hurt people.
25:57I've held guns to people.
25:59I've done all so many awful things.
26:01And I've lived a life just as far from God as I could.
26:05I realize now in that moment, I realized what I've been looking for something my whole life.
26:11And what I've really been looking for is love.
26:15Pure, unconditional love.
26:18I've never seen it.
26:20I've never felt it.
26:21I've never experienced it in anyone except for this Jesus that these people have been telling me about.
26:27So I said, God, yeah, I want all the things he's telling me, that he's saying.
26:33But really, if I can have anything, if I can only have one thing, what I want is love.
26:40Show me what love is.
26:41That's what I want.
26:42Show me what love is.
26:44And as soon as I said, show me what love is, there was a blinding light all around me.
26:50I was filled with the Holy Spirit.
26:52I began to speak in another language.
26:57And immediately, I went into, as time went, I went into a vision.
27:02And I was seeing the earth, like from space.
27:07All of a sudden, I was seeing the earth from space.
27:09I don't know.
27:09God talks to me in visions, I guess.
27:12And I was looking over to, like, Asia.
27:15I don't know why it was Asia, but that's where it was.
27:17And I saw all these lights, like the way you see the world lit up at night, and those pictures
27:22of, like, cities lit up at night.
27:25But I understood that all those lights weren't cities, but they were people.
27:29Each one of those lights was a soul.
27:31And for just a moment, for just a moment, it was like I understood, I knew everything about
27:37every one of those people, every little detail about their life.
27:42And I felt this love in me, this overwhelming love that I thought, honestly, I thought I would
27:49explode.
27:49I thought I was going to die right then.
27:51I thought I was going to die, and then I'm just going to be in heaven.
27:56Because I'm feeling this overwhelming love for every single one of those people.
28:02And the only thought that was coming to me was, like, I would die for every single one
28:09of them.
28:10I love them so much.
28:11I know every detail about them, their pains, their joys, their sufferings, their ups, their
28:17downs, their failures, their successes.
28:20And even in the midst of all of it, I love them so much, I just want them to know
28:25my love.
28:25And if it took me dying for them, just for them to know my love, I would do it over
28:31and
28:31over again.
28:31I would die for every one of them.
28:35And I thought, wow, I feel like I'm going to explode.
28:38It's so much love.
28:40It's overwhelming me.
28:42And I knew in that moment I was feeling what God felt for people.
28:46And I went on from there and went into a vision of seeing Jesus in his glory for about 45
28:52minutes.
28:53And I realized I asked God, show me what love is.
28:56And he showed me himself.
29:00And so, really, from that moment, I felt that call to the Great Commission to go into all
29:05the world and make disciples of all people.
29:08Wow.
29:08That love.
29:09I felt that love of God, that God has that love, that he wants every single person to
29:14know him.
29:15Yeah, yeah.
29:15And there's a price to be paid.
29:17If people are going to know him, a price has to be paid.
29:20I have to be willing to lay down my life for someone else to come to know Jesus.
29:26And so, yeah, that's why, for me, from the moment I got saved, I just knew I'll give my
29:32whole life, if that's what it takes, for somebody to know Jesus.
29:37It's worth it.
29:38They need to know the love that I've just come to know.
29:41Wow.
29:42And that's powerful, powerful.
29:45But there's things that happened along the way after that, too.
29:47Right, right.
29:47You gave the bits and pieces, but, you know, but that's good because, you know, the thing
29:56is, you want to, and I hope, I don't know if you saw what Sean even mentioned, that when
30:03he was filled with the Holy Spirit, and the Bible says that when they were all filled with
30:10the Holy Spirit, they spoke in new tongues.
30:12And I know that language he was talking about.
30:16Now, you know, a lot of people don't understand, and I love what you said, Sean, that they don't
30:23understand that this is a supernatural experience that we're talking about here with a supernatural
30:31God.
30:32This is not, you know, we're not talking about, because you're talking about, I had this, you
30:38know, feeling, and then, you know, I had a new language, and then I felt, you know, I just
30:45saw this vision.
30:46We're talking about stuff that doesn't happen every day.
30:50You know, my background, you know, some of you, first time watching this, I didn't believe
30:55the Bible.
30:56Uh, I didn't believe the Bible, Sean.
30:59More than to be rich in the eyes of the world.
31:06It's easy to paint a pretty picture, talk about gold and silver, but it gotta be some souls
31:11delivered.
31:12Uh, I know some people, city bound and over time.
31:16Little Haiti, forget it, man, it's world round.
31:18We hungry out here, tryna, tryna make a way.
31:21Working these bad jobs, eating little, little pay.
31:24My brothers on the corner, selling crack cocaine, popping that molly, popping that soul away.
31:30My, my sisters on the corner, walking up and down the street, giving up they body.
