And that is did you know that you are a tree? Did you know that you are That's the title of if you want the what topic? It was the topic. The topic is did you know that you are a tree? It's a topic if you don't know that you are a tree, you must know from today that you are a tree. Isaiah 61 verse 3 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has appointed me, anointed me to preach good tidings. Amen unto the meek. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. Verse 2. Are you, are you reading the Bible right now? When we are here, nobody should be on the Facebook or sending texts or anything like that. OK, Otherwise I'll pray against new phones in your life. I'll pray because I first started to tell you God was going to bless you with new phones and, and, and very soon everybody in first last check will have either an iPad, a Galaxy card or a Tri pad. You know Tri pad Tri pad? Tri pad is Chinese iPad. Side pad or Surface, you know, Surface have the new Microsoft have released the new tablet to challenge the iPad. So we have iPad, we have the Galaxy, the iPad. Then we have Surface from Microsoft Surface. The Surface is very nice. It's colors and squares, It's fantastic. And you have one. It will not be difficult for you to have it. It will not be difficult. Go down and just receive the prophecy. OK? Yeah, gradually, gradually I have your phone on your laptop, iPad, iPad, whatever and say that you are in the new age moving no to proclaim. See those who are sharing laptops for the Alexa, they it's an old technology. It's an old technology that we were saying we have moved on from laptop. What is using laptop today. That is why you see one day you you would say I was there when this iPad and whatever was invented. Yeah. So maybe by then, something 25 years from now, 25 years from now, you'll be surprised what will have been invented. Yeah, it's amazing. OK, That's that's true. That's true. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all that moon. Amen. And to appoint then that moon in Zion, OK, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees, that they might be called trees. That they might be called trees. Tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord. The Lord planted you. Amen. That he might be glorified. Hallelujah. And they shall build the old ways. It's a nice prophecy, so let's read it. Build all the old things again. And that's what we are doing. We are building the same old church. It's nothing new, but it's it's it's doing the same old thing in a new way. Yeah. One day a pastor prayed for me and he said I pray, pray. I pray that he will have he's able to do the old thing in a new way. Yeah, the long term is on the phone happened to be able to do the same old thing in a new way. Yeah. So it's fantastic, alright. They, they shall raise up the former desolation, and they shall repair the waste city, and strangers shall stand and feed your flocks. Wow. And the sons of aliens shall be your plowman and your vine dresses. You know, when, when, when I went to Israel, I found a lot of Ghanian illegal immigrants in Israel of all places. And I also also, I didn't meet any Nigeria, but I had a lot of Nigerians and Ghanians years ago. So I said, why don't they suck you? Because when you see a black man in Israel, Israelis are white. So when you see a black man, you immediately know. And they said no, because of there's a scripture and this is the scripture, foreigners say the sons of aliens shall be your plowman, that foreigners will serve you. So they feel that the scripture is being fulfilled because strangers shall stand and feed your flocks. And the sons of aliens shall be your plowman. So it's like aliens, foreigners will work for you. And so most of the Gambians and Nigerians, yeah. House health servants doing this during different things. And they see all these as the fulfillment of the prophecy that was was was declared over them. Do you see? Yeah, it's happening. Spirit of the Lord. It's working. But you shall be named. You shall be called priest of the Lord. What a blessing to be called a priest of the Lord, huh? How many are excited that you be called a priest? I mean, somebody like you being called a priest. I mean, think about it. Somebody like you being called a priest, a priest of the Lord. What a blessing, huh? Think about it. What an honor. What an honor that somebody like you will be called a priest of the Lord after all the things you've done. By this age, by this age, by this age, you are not old. But look at how things have gone up to now. Yes and yes. Having gone by already. Wow, You are going to be called a priest. Say somebody like me. I don't even see myself as a priest, but I'm a priest. But I didn't grow up in a church environment. Hims. And all those things. I don't like all those things. I don't like hims. Oh, yeah, I'm not. And I'm not. I'm not ashamed of it because when I was growing up, where we went to Chennai, hymns were used. I mean, it was boring. It was just boring. I didn't understand that. I didn't understand. It was boring. Everything was boring. I mean, the church was boring. The church was boring. You get it? Yeah, it was boring. And also it was only sung of funerals. When you hear the organ is there, this is a funeral or work keeping or or or or or sometimes a wedding. You just thinking, I mean, I say, oh, it's not, it's not nice to me. Yeah. So my favorite priest was those who would say we shall sing the 1st and the last 1000. Have you been to church? When they say we sing the that was my favorite priest whenever I went to church and the guy said, which I think the first, and I said, yes, you are, you are anointed. And and the church that I used to go, they had a board. They had a board on the side there, all right, which had the hymns we were going to sing. Have you seen that before? So I used to look at the to see where we have reached in the in the cake. It's like, my goodness, we are on the hymn number 582 and we have to see 204-2385, 631-5618. That's great thing. When will this be over? So like the word priest, that's like, I'm a priest. I am a priest. Yeah. So we have modern priests. And you are going to be called a priest. You are going to be called a priest of the Lord. Yeah. You'll be surprised. People will come to you for prayer. You say pray for me, please pray for me, pray for me, please pray for me. Your pray you'll be surprised that somebody like you is because the Spirit of the Lord is upon you. The sweet influence of the Spirit has made you into a priest. Wow, Sit down, sit down. First, love priest, and men shall call you the ministers of our God. I mean underline this as a personal prophecy. Second, this particular because if you believe the Spirit of the Lord is supporting. These are the effects of the Spirit of the Lord being on your life. These are the effects of the Spirit of the Lord being on your life. Amen. Men shall call you ministers of Al Gore. And I mean people call me a minister of the gospel. Imagine Jack, He what mill that cowboy in a Chimoto school? People call me a minister. Think about it. The guy from Motown, you see me at Sasano Sports Club swimming or they're not camp riding horses. So that guy, that guy riding a horse, you'll be called a minister. Wow. So the guy riding, you'll be called a minister, A minister of God. Wow. I used to swim at a beach called Ambassador Beach. We used to have a beach in in Atlanta called Ambassador Beach. Yeah, the guy, the guy swimming there. See, these are these are the activities I was involved in swimming, beach horse riding. I was from somewhere. I was so when the church was the most important and it's the most inappropriate thing for me to find myself in a chess, but it is the power of the Holy Spirit. It's very wild. The Holy Spirit is very wild because as that 51 says, why? The Spirit of the Lord is upon me and as is upon you. These are the things that are coming to us. You shall be called priest of our God, and you shall be called minister of our God. Wow. From the second lady pastor. She was preaching and as she was lifting up her hand just was pretty like they said that this right eye, that's what she saw in the congregation. This I saw. He saw him, him, one of the him. So when she was, you know, and this, this particular lady, this particular lady, she, she, she, she is a, a very, I mean expressive, frenetic, I mean sounding screams. So I'm coming down because she remembered one of her acrobatic sessions. She said she said it herself. She said it herself when she was preaching. I'm not saying it, she said it. She said it herself. When she was preaching, she saw, she sees the guy. Wow, look at the guy. But you see, according to this scripture, she will be called a minister of our God, the minister of our God. Somebody like you, somebody like you, somebody as young as you, hey, somebody who has been on the side Rd. She's not at the back. I don't know whether they are. They are. OK, OK. Is your gun working? Pump action? If you doesn't, we'll use it on you. Oh, I like this. How many have chosen this script? This scripture? See. I've chosen it. You shall be called minister of our God. It's unbelievable. Even those who knew you, those who knew you, they will not even know, understand that somebody like you, I mean a sister like you who likes boys like this. Sit down. You shall eat the richest. Let's read this one again. The Spirit of the law is upon me. These are the verse. These are the verse that Jesus quoted, and I see the reason why you should not quote it for yourself as well. If the Spirit of the Lord is supporting something you should say, you should say the Spirit of the Lord is on me or the Spirit of the Lord is influencing me. Yeah, He has anointed me to preach, just sent me to bind the broken hearted, just sent me to proclaim to open the freezes of them that are bound a day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that moan, to appoint unto them that moan in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. You see, there are a lot of people that are sad. You know, when you grow up a little, there's so many things that make you sad, things that didn't work. True. Five years ago, five years ago, five years ago, exactly today, we were in shock because Mrs. Saki had just died. She just died. She just, she was well, I went with her for a crusade in to Doctor Chrome. She came back. She was in my car and saw her. We were on the same boat. We crossed the lake together. Then we came back. So malaria, I gave her medicine. I give her medicine. Yeah. And the goal was equality. Two of them were not feeling well. They were also feeling the calories. So they both have malaria. So I gave them all. She just died in front of us like that normal something young person. So your dreams of life, your family, everything just comes crashing down. So you will notice that when you look, if you have a chance to watch television, those of you are watching the Internet and other thing. But if you watch television, you will see for instance, where there are pastors preaching, look at the congregation. There are different types of congregation. When you see congregation with like a lot of older women wearing clothes, OK, you and you listen to what the pastor is preaching. He's fulfilling this particular scripture comforting them that are mourning. A lot of it's just there's nothing. Oh, you must spread for God. This type of thing. It's not there. It's starting like that there. Please. People have been through things and are still going through things and they are mourning and they are giving them the Isle of joy for the spirit of happiness. You will not understand these scriptures. So you advance a little when we talk about healing. You may ridicule it and say, oh, but why did they say a miracle? Why do we need what all this is? But you just advance a bit. You will soon see the need for healing. Oh yeah, yeah. All the people in NPP, they're all broken hearted. They are broken hearted. They are disappointed, huh? Yes. They need priests. And you'll see that if you look at if you look at the people in NPP, you'll see that many of them traditional, we don't see them in any church. Yeah, if you look at NPP people, the big shots of NPP, they don't, you don't find them in charismatic born again churches usually. Yeah, that's all you find. A lot of other you find. I mean, I know a lot of the people in NDC that they have Ukujeto are black wire and so on. They were all, they were all in churches. We're very in Swiss. We're in Swiss Church 50. Question 1 of this guy who was facing Doctor Otto Abdel. He said he wrote in the thing that he used to go to Central. I don't know what church he goes to now. Yeah. Supposed to be born again Christians. Professor Amnios was going to CB Joshua's church. Another whatever of them are like that. The President Mohammed says he's an Assembly of God. Yeah. So you, you see that? Yeah. What is the shouting about? I am explaining to you something that traditionally you don't be certain people going to certain types of churches. It's just, it's just the picture that we have. Yeah, we have been above those things you see are due to their broken heartedness and their disappointment. You see them holding tech services in stadiums and contacting pastors and so on. Yes, it's true. And you've been contacting churches, Jonathan. So I'm saying that as you get older, the disappointment of life, you want somebody, you cannot even solve the problem. One time I had a sister just like any of you here, her husband died in an accident, OK. And we just, it was in the middle afternoon. I was on the site. I just had a call. So I had to go to her. So standing in a house like that, look at her. I mean, these are things that I've been to so and as I was comforting her and so on and the days that were coming back, I was just searching, but I could not solve the problem because as I was there, I've seen his body, my, I took it right to the small tree to go and see the body to understand. I could not solve the problem. I could comfort. I mean, I felt my, my, my, my role was quite useless because I couldn't solve the problem. But later, as she thanked me and later on, as the years went by, I realized that what I was supposed to do just comfort, there was nothing I could do. And that is how a lot of problems are. There is no solution. You see, when you are young, you would think that a solution to everything, but that's why we call. And when he began to be once the prodigal son, he took his journey to a back country and wasted his living wasted on. And when he had spent all his that he had and began to be, when he went and joined himself with citizen of that country, all right, and he gave him, sent him to the swine to feed, to feed the swine, all right. And he would then have filled his belly with the heart with the swine, and no man gave unto him. Do you understand? And then when he came to his senses, he had come to each step was going further into difficulty. When he got to the last, we realized I looked, there's no we have to do AU 10 and come back. So, so ladies and gentlemen, there are places you get to the end. There is no solution. That's where these captures come in. So it's a lot of older people have no answers, no solutions. That's why I said that you have to watch other people with humility, your father's enemies, especially if you don't want your father's particular problem or your mother's particular problem. Be very humble towards her. Otherwise God will give you hair with a new variation of that one to act or do it as a crown, an upgrade. Then you see that yes, I've become my mother. Yes, I've become my father. I thought that life was just following certain steps. Yeah. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So this is where these letters come in. OK. And then it goes on. The planting of the Lord. Alright. You become the tree of righteousness, OK. The planting of the Lord. God himself is planting you as a tree. And they shall build their old waste, all right. And they shall raise up the former desolation. OK. So things that are desolate, God will use you to do them. They shall repair the waste cities, strangers shall stand and feed your crops. Wow. That's why today by the anointing there are pastors who are not Ghanaians and they are increasing other other nationalities, Nigerians, S Africans, Kenyans, Zimbabweans, Zambians, I mean they are all becoming paste Vinnie Bithalians. I mean Alices are feeding, it's happening practically. And the sons of the aliens shall be your ploughmen and your vine dresses. But you shall call the priests of the Lord, and men shall call you ministers of our God. Amen. Then you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles. Amen, brother. And the white there, take the chewing gum out of your mouth. Is it chewing gum or paper? Yum. No, no, put it in your pocket. Put it in your pocket. Don't put it on the floor. Don't put it on the chain. Put it in your pocket or swallow it. You can swallow it to stick some yam to some meat and then it they need to go down deeper. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles and in their glory shall you boost yourself. Amazing riches comes as a result of the anointing. How did you write the Bible? Another. Did I edit it? Another Did I proofread the Bible? It is there. It says you are in the richest of the so you see ministry. You see, following the law does not mean that you are going to be a poor person. At least in my personal situation, I have not become poor by by serving the Lord. But I see a good general knows that he can die when he's fighting. It's going to be a general. You must know that you can die a good general and a good general expected to die. But a good general does not give himself over to a foolish death. Do you understand? No. Let me, I'll say it again because I don't think you are getting it. I'll say it again. A good general knows that he can die in the war. A good general, three things. He knows that it's possible that he will die. I mean, if you, if you go and join that and you should know that you, you can be one of the casualties. I mean, we have, we have one, there's only one soldier that have nowhere, we have the most soldiers to check, but one soldier who was very close to us and he died. He died. He died in battle. He died. He died not long ago. All right. And it's very sad, very sad. But a good general knows that he can die, and then #2A good general is prepared to die that if it is after that I'm going to, I'm ready to die. I would like to die if that's what I have to do. So a good general knows that if I have to be poor to serve God, I prepare to be poor. And a good general knows that I can be poor. It's possible that I'll be one of the poor people. Yeah. A good general knows that he can die, and a good general is prepared to die if that is what it takes to do his work. And #3 a good journal does not have gives himself that. Oh, since I can die and I'm prepared to die, shoot me. Yeah, let me go in front of everybody so that I'll be the first to be to be cut down. No, no, no, no. That is a foolish death. We have something we call a foolish death in war. Now you go and foolishly expose yourself in such a way that you die. And if your death does not benefit anything, does not make the war proper. So poverty in itself is not going to make the gospel advance. So because I've suffered, God is moving when I suffer. Oh, then the gospel moves. Oh, the gospel. Are you a woman in labor or are you a preacher of the gospel? Are you listening to me? Yeah. So a good journal is prepared to die if he has to die. A good general knows that he may die. He knows he can. He's prepared to die if he has to die, if that's what it is. And that's what if I had to be the poorest man in Ghana to whatever so that I would do what I believe government, I'm prepared and I was prepared. I have been prepared. But but there are many prophecies that also declared that they shall eat the richest of the gentiles. And I've been enjoying the richest of the gentiles. Any time somebody gives you dollars, you are eating the richest of the Gentiles. The gentiles is in the Bible dollars, pounds, EUR, yen. What is the Chinese one? Chinese, Japanese is yen. Korean is what, 11 Korean won one? One. Yeah, like 10,000 won is like like $10. They use ones, They use ones. Every time I'm in Korea, I use ones. I've gone shopping with ones before. I see you shopping with some ones. Some of you. I've only seen CDs, but but the races of the Giants are out for those who are anointed with the spirit of the law. Do you believe such powerful things? So I don't see why I need to spend all my time technically the richest path and preach you riches, riches, riches, riches, riches, riches. It is not true. It's a distortion. It's like somebody who goes to medical school and you only learn bacteriology. You learn bacteriology from first year to final year. You learn about bacteria, bacteria, bacteria, bacteria, bacteria, bacteria, bacteria. And there are so many diseases that are not caused by bacteria that you cannot cure with antibiotics. If somebody's eye cannot see, you cannot give him antibiotics. Somebody has HIV, your best bet is to wear glass, my friend, as we are dealing with the best not to be giving antibiotics. All right. Are you still around? What a beautiful prophecy. Verse 7. I love this one. These are the prophecies for trees of righteousness. For your shame, you shall have double. Verse seven. Wow. For your what shame? Your shame, how many are felt shameful? Oh for your shame you shall have double now young people do young people do shameful things such as what? Stealing. Stealing them all masturbation. Pornography, fornication Fighting of a boyfriend. Shameful girl You are fighting over a boy fighting over somebody's husband as a student. A student. So you are fighting over somebody's husband with a fellow student. It's like you are fighting to be the adulterer. It's like I am the chief adulterer. No, you can't. No way for you. I'm here. No way for you. I'm going first. I'm the number one adulterer. Allow, allow, allow. Make a win. This a win. I'm the I'm the chief adulterer. Nobody can replace me. I'm the number one. Huh. Shame. For your shame you shall have double, double honor. Receive it all and everything that makes you ashamed, you know why it is there. God is reminding you so that you'll be cool and humble and humble. When you when you are relating with every other person, you know that you are also shameful. It is some of you when you hear oh, I hear this sister has gone to do this. Don't start. I don't know. Don't do that. Do you Imagine if you go to the doctor examination room, then when you take over your clothes, this place is very big. Will you will you be happy? So you are a spiritual Dr. Jonathan. You are a spiritual doctor, so when you hear I will see somebody's fault, don't shout. What? What is this? I don't think. Somebody I don't think. Imagine if you go to the doctor and you say I don't think, hey, what is this? Will you be happy? So you are There are some people I think there are excuse. There are some cool sisters. Wow. Hey, sister cool when she married, that's how she'll be in the house. A very cool. I love you so that she doesn't mind that she's very cool. Wow, Miss Cool, cool atmosphere. OK, sit down. And for your confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Wow. Therefore in their land they shall, in their land they shall possess the devil. Everlasting joy shall be unto them. Amen. For I, the Lord, love judgment. Amen. It goes on and on. So anyway, the first point I'm trying to make is that you are a tree. You shall be called a tree, and all through the Bible you are called. You are called three. You are a tree. It's not an insult. It's a blessing to be a tree. It's a fantastic all right. Now turn to someone. And there is a reason why I'm showing you that you are a tree because of the atmosphere that you need. Yes, I say a tree. Someone that's one blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of teneth, nor stated in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his Lord that he meditate day and night. Amen. Are you there? Are you there all right in His Lord that He meditate day and night? Amen. He shall be like a tree. Wow, He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth His fruits in His season. Amen. Is that fantastic? So again, you see, you are being called a tree. Everybody say I'm a tree. Say I never knew I was a tree. Psalm 52, Psalm 52, verse 8. Or are we from verse 6? The righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him. Lo, this man that made not in God his friends, but trusted in the abundance of his riches. Are you with me in Psalm 52, the seven? Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and strengthened himself in his wickedness. All right, that's 8. Are you there? But I, I, I am like a green olive tree in the House of God. I'm like a green olive tree in the House of God. I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. And I will praise thee forever because thou hast done it. And I will wait on thy name, for it is good before thy sin. Amen. I am like a olive tree. And I'm going to show you some things about what it means that when I say you are an olive tree, you see, if you see yourself as a tree, there are certain things you will, you will do and there's anything you will not do. Sure. For instance, if you see yourself as a tree, let's say an apple tree, you will never come and plant yourself in Ghana because it means as soon as you decide to plant yourself, as soon as you decide to plant yourself in Ghana, it means you know that you are finished. You will never, never do well. No, no apple tree. Have you bought a apple? Have you bought apples? Have you seen apples, beans. There's nothing made in Ghana apples. It grows in in a certain environment. In that environment, mango trees don't grow there. So every tree has the environment or has the atmosphere in which it grows. Alright. So when I am like, you know, I've recognized that I'm a tree. I recognize that I am a tree. I'm like a green olive tree planted in the House of God. Wow. OK, Are you there? Quickly, let's look at Psalm 92. Psalm 92, The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the House of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God, and they shall still bring forth fruit in old age and they shall be fat and flourishing. All right. So now the Bible is saying again, it's likening you to a tree and so many things that happen to trees happen to you. And you see a tree like all, all the trees around here, all these trees, we did not plant them. They just, they just grew. Nobody has cared for them. Nobody has. No one has done anything, but no one has. A vet has not been brought here. A farmer has got nothing. It's naturally what is good for these trees is here, and it just naturally flourishes. So I think you recognize that you're a tree without any extra effort by just even locating yourself at the right place. You'll find yourself becoming something wonderful. All right, So if you stay in the House of the Lord or you stay in the presence of the Lord in the House of God, things are going to flourish in a certain natural way. All right, in a very wonderful way for you. All right, So I want you to see yourself as what you are, which is a tree, a real tree. You are a tree. I am a tree. I am a tree, all right. Certain things make me flourish. Certain things make me do. Well, certain things make me. Is that you shall flourish. So how many want to flourish? Are you sure you want to flourish? Do you want to be seen as somebody who is flourishing? Or you want to be seen as somebody who is withering, fading, dying fish? I see you becoming more juicy, more voluptuous, more anointed, more powerful, more prosperous. Yeah. This is your future. Once you accept that you are a tree, there are certain mistakes you will never make, especially in terms of where and what you should be doing. Yeah, I mean, there is. There is no. You have almost no chance during this time. I'm going to show you 3 films. The film is to help you to see. You have the projector. I told you to get the projector. The film is to help you to see that you can never make it in a certain environment and that you can make it in another just by being there, just being there. There's a film called Being There. Have you watched it before? There's a film called Being there. It's a stupid man. It's an amazingly stupid man, OK, who was so daft and couldn't say anything much, but by just being there, he, he became the president or almost became the president of America. You know, he couldn't talk or he didn't want to say much, but he already just says once everybody's thought it meant so. So the whole film, he being there, he, he kept this before I realized he was at the top there by being there, being there. So by being there, you can become. So if you look at some of the people who are in political power today, they, they, they, they mostly, they mostly became what they are by being there. Let's take both the president and the vice president. President Mahama have been there, just been there, coolly been there. Yeah. He was, I think, a deputy minister of information or minister of information. And people who have had ambitions to be president, have made speeches and Afghan things have not become president now. Now another person is 2 heartbeats away from becoming a president, which is the Vice president is 2 heartbeats of President Muhammad's heartbeats away from becoming our president. I mean, nobody knows how long anybody will live. Yeah. So I mean, that is why you have, that's why you have to have a vice president. And the laws are that if this one goes, this one comes immediately. If that happens, God forbid, But if that happens immediately, somebody who has equally just been there doesn't make any speeches, doesn't shout, doesn't fight, doesn't campaign, doesn't do, just be in there. You saw the president. That's fantastic, being there. Just by what? I can't hear you. By what? By what being there. Being there is sometimes far more powerful than actively trying to become something. God forbid. But if President Muhammad was to go and God forbid that he should go, but if he was to die, God forbid. And this is as an example for you to another don't win. Say I said whatever. Please honestly don't, don't, don't do that. You know, I hope there's nobody here like that. Evil, an evil spirit. If you are, if you are like that. But but if that was to be the case, this you vice president would become the president and then he would stand again because they always let the president stand again and he would stand again and so he would become the president. Now, for 8 or 10 years I've been doing that. The person was shouted Kumi preco and fought. I mean, all die, be, die, this and that and whatever, those who have been there, just being there, they are the ones who have flourished. It's amazing just being there in the right atmosphere, the right environment, in the right party. Now people, there are people all right who could not just be there. So they have to speak out and they spoke out and they were not chosen. Every professor knows. He was just being there. Just what do you call it? Not even Vice President before he was working for tax, IRS and so on, just being in his office that he was called and he was just faithfully there as a vice president and then came on and just campaigned just been there. Nothing much. We didn't know any particular ideology that he had or that he was bringing to Ghana. He was just there and then he became the president. It's fantastic. And that, that is what this, so this camp is trying to help you to know and see that there are some atmospheres that if you are in, if you stay, if I wanted to be the president, I would, I would join one of the parties and I would be there. Sometimes when you talk too much, you lose your chances. And when you are there for some time, you see and you see you can become the president in Ghana unless you are neither MPP or MPP. All the other parties just knew that they will not, they will never. No, they are just spending money. Is it not amazing? Is it not fantastic? Those who are making speeches, they are promising you a strong economy with single digit inflation and a strong currency and 8% GDP growth rate in a year and free SHS by this time. SHS by this time, free basic education. I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this. It may not amount to much. So I'm just explaining to you, alright, that there is a strategy called being there. There's a strategy for being there and I would advise you to be there. Some of you are looking for husband or beloved. There's a strategy called being there, being there. Being there sit down when at a point when I was going to choose when I came to 1st after that I started to choose the chief elder. I chose Cabela. But you see the the reason why I chose I Lulu didn't choose. I chose there. The reason why I chose there maybe because she was always there with me every Sunday when I when I leave the new combat, she comes there. She always thought she comes. It's like somebody who is serving me the form to the people, talk to the people. She's stand by that. She's called their numbers. She's going to call them every Sunday from, from, yeah, Lagoon Hall Chapel. So when I said who, I said this one is always there. She's always right there. Yeah. It's a strategy, but there are other other powerful brothers like Brother Frank and some of the others and other other sisters and brothers. But I didn't. I didn't. I didn't know that they were there. Yeah. So those of you are looking for something, don't forget these kids. You see when you come to church, even now, what I've said is those who would like to be politicians, you see, which is not a good job, But if you want to be a politician, it's not a good job. But even if you want to be, you see that by being here alone, by being here, you are even learning how in a certain atmosphere, you are even learning how to do certain things. So I've been learning how, how to be chosen to be somebody's beloved close, close, close. Listen, listen. When you are there and it is established that you are there. So you when, when you are there, you must be known that you are there. Don't, don't stand at the back. Don't stand at the back. Don't be there and they don't know that you are there. It's not a good thing. Be there and fully that your presence should be registered properly. It's a strategy. Are you listening to me? It's a strategy. Don't be there without registering that you are there. You must know that you are there. If nobody knows that you are around. Meetings are always held. Meetings are always. One day I was with Archbishop Ganka Williams and he started to pray. He said. I refet every decision that is being taken. Any meeting that is me. And he was, I think he was seeing a meeting. Some people were meeting who were taking this letter. Hey, what type of prayers are these? And and I realized that meetings are always being held. Your name is coming up. I've had meetings, very different people here. Your names have come up. I've been admitted. You don't know. Oh, yeah. Decisions are taken. Meetings are held. Yeah, that's somebody's been there. Hello. Right. OK, break time. Break the music there. Right? I'm just taking a show that I need to do something. OK? So I want you all to stay indoors. Nobody should come out. OK? Stay indoors for a few minutes. Alright. And then we'll be back to continue being there. It's a key strategy. See this, I said. I feel, I feel it. I feel it. I feel it back. Been there. Wow. Sit down, sit down. It's getting too powerful.
