Today's great engineers are not able to carry out what I conceive, what I see or desire. How I wish we could have made this hall bigger. But now it is not complete.
A few extensions will come. God willing. But when you see his works, you will always say, he did it, the Lord did it.
Let no man say, I did it. That is why I don't like to receive lands or big gifts. I don't like anybody to say, I did it.
The Lord did it. He did it. He did it.
Now I just told you that there are 269 toilets alone. 281. You know how much it costs to build a single toilet? And 264 bathrooms.
Now who did it? The Lord did it. So give all the glory to the Lord. Let us pray.
Loving Father, if you are amongst us, that's enough. The old landmarks may never be moved. Let nobody in any other country or any other place imagine we are wiser.
You have given us a very simple constitution. Where Jesus is the head. Where we are taught, he does it.
He did it. That we may never be puffed up with pride. We want grateful hearts.
You continue to work. We have not exhausted no man can, your greatness. We have touched only the hem of your garment.
We want to see more of your works. You do it Lord. In every corner of our fields and of the globe.
You do it. Oh God of Moses. Oh God of Abraham.
Oh God of Elijah. You do it. And that is enough.
We ask in Jesus' holy name. Amen. Grace, love and fellowship of Son, Father and Holy Spirit be with you dear people.
Amen.
