SPKM PAUL YONGGI CHO Well, I have a great burden to win 10 million Japanese to Jesus Christ. God has given me this mission to fulfill. And actually I wanted to get Dr. Oral Roberts involved in my Japan ministry and
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS He did come over last year.
SPKM PAUL YONGGI CHO Last year we had a great meeting. But he feels that he’s too old and he told me he would like to give burden to you. So I think I’ve got to work with his son instead of the father.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Well, Jesus said, “If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father.”
SPKM PAUL YONGGI CHO And also I know that God is using you. In the States I was watching your program many times in my hotel room, even before I met you, and I prayed for you and I was so glad that God has raised you up and anoint you because you are son of minister. I myself as a son and it’s a miracle that God usually takes the son of minister to be used for the glory of God because they are disgusted and discouraged as a family of the ministers because they are, have many difficulties as a child of ministers.
But when I saw that you are dedicated and God raised you up, anointed you to use, I was greatly moved in my heart. And also I knew that God was going to use you in spite of all your past failure or something like that because God forgives and God forgets. So since God made you an anointed servant of God, who am I to judge you? And I just felt that I’ve got to cooperate with you to bring this gospel of Jesus Christ to the end of the world because you are the anointed servant of the Lord right now.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Well, I thank you for that, Dr. Cho. I want you to know something from my heart, when I heard that this church began with five people and now has half a million members, I understand that you have nine services on Sundays, is that right?
SPKM PAUL YONGGI CHO Yes, yes, God has been very good to us. And for these 30 years I myself personally have made a lot of mistakes in my ministry, but God has helped me so far. And I’m not doing silly things in my age. I invite any minister, I become very careful because I’m exposing half a million people through that person’s ministry. So if I ever feel a personal evangelist is not anointed, I will never invite you.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Well, when I came into the service last night and when I heard the people singing in the Spirit and praying, it literally not only seemed to shake the rafters of the church, but it shook the rafters of my heart. And I felt such an anointing of the Spirit. And the people received me. They received the message that I had. And I’m so deeply touched to be here in your great nation, for I really believe that it’s no accident that God called me. And I believe He called you and me to be together. And I want you to know that I am sincerely grateful.
SPKM PAUL YONGGI CHO Well you were tremendously anointed last evening and tonight, and I was very delighted to interpret for you. Usually I don’t interpret, do you know that?
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Yes, I understand.
SPKM PAUL YONGGI CHO I interpreted for Dr. Billy Graham, Dr. Oral Roberts and Schuller.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Let me just put you on the spot, why did you interpret for me?
SPKM PAUL YONGGI CHO You’re a young man. I can’t synchronize with you. You are too powerful and strong and I am slow and I’m tired.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS No, you’re not slow and you’re not tired either and you’re not old.
SPKM PAUL YONGGI CHO But it was great and a delight for me to work together and you have done a great thing for my church. Our Christians have been so blessed, rejuvenated and their visions and dreams have been enlarged and Christ become very near to them. So I’m very happy as a pastor of this church for your coming.
