02.Sharing Time

Welcome to track #2 of God requireth. That which is past. Yes. Who wants to share something that will encourage us? Please make sure your phones are on silence. Francis, the Francis. Francis from Hope Polytechnic. OK, tell us something. All right, Thank you very much. I want to see when I was on my way coming, I was thinking to myself that I can feel I have become stronger in my flesh. Because in your flesh. Yeah, I can see I am able to overcome certain temptation that that's Lexi desire because I can't remember. Lexi desire for what? OK, let me start from when I came for the fight, the good fight camp that it was that it really spoke about watching pornography and start of things. So when I went home, I bought the C DS. I was listening to it and actually honestly speaking, I have my brother used to have those C DS and he escaped them in in my cupboard. So OK, so once, once, once in a while. Once in a while? How often is once in a while? Is it every every two hours? No. No, no, no, it's weeks, weeks. Sometimes after weeks can happen like 2 days. I said what am I doing? Then I'll send it back. So when I came for the camp, the fight, the good fight camp, when Daddy on, I was listening to the message. Daddy said it again. I just parked the CDs and I went to bend them. I went to bend them, but that was it. All that was. It all. OK, once like when I'm dead and when I'm when I'm lonely there's like. So so when I'm lonely then. When are you lonely? When, when I'm alone, when I'm alone, I'm thinking, then the thoughts will come. Why should you destroy it? Why do you throw it away? Then I will try to refuse it. Refuse it and still so because on the earth it is my Sinner brother who really introduced me to it because he knows most websites, a whole lot of websites. So you normally use my laptop for browsing. So when any time I go to the history please. Please one meeting. One meeting when? I go to the history, Ah, I say, ah, this thing, this, this, this, this, this. Then curiously, let me also go there and see what is there. Then I find out this thing. Let me to what's 1 where we came for the camp show. Who was saying like, let me turn it off. Let me, I was the one we was talking to. I was the one. So after the fight, the good fight camp, I was also struggling, but I was trying to overcome it today. I'll come tomorrow four. I was still praying, praying, praying. So when you came for the White Acceptance camp, let me say it again. So. Fight the good fight you had, then you came for White. Acceptance I had that. It's like today when I was on the when I was on my way Cam and I was leading to this camp. Lord, I know you need somebody. I want to listen to that camp. So I somebody said why is that always Daddy is talking about pornography, always daddy is talking about masturbating, He's talking about fornication said I think he's really working on me. So after The Who is it out of our camp at the war, there is a certain lady who used to give me food, who used to give me food. I have I have, I have read this book all about strange women. I have preached, but it has not affected me. So when I went back to the book The strange Women and he said they'll come by food and and I said to myself, I won't eat that food again. If if I. Food on campus? No, no, no at home. At home, yes, when I when I was coming. Home in a basket. Is that what she has cooked herself? Yes, we should cook herself any time I cook, not every day. Every week. Once, once in a while maybe you can take 2. Minutes OK, please. Please. I felt, I felt that any time I go on campus, I become very spiritual, very strong. But when I come also, I don't want to come home. So even when, when, when, when when the lecturers went on strike, I was still on campus. I don't want to come because I know if I come home I will fall. So I was there till they call me that I have to come and start the attachment. So when I came home, I was a coach. I don't want to fall. I don't want to fall, but I will fall. The reason, the reason, the reason, the reason why I'm saying all this is because that is it. When you talk about it, you'll be here. Yeah. So, so I was, there was a certain lady, man, I call her my beloved, but I don't actually because she's she's she's she's like what Daddy was saying. She know how to make her way through. So you call her your beloved. Yeah, I thought like she was like she'd see me like my beloved. So I was. I when she told people, like when she told people I'm a beloved. I don't. I'm not happy. She, she she can't. She can't. When she gets to know that you're my friend, she lets you know that she's going out with me. I'm not happy. So when I told her that. She's the same person who has been cooking for you. No. Please allow him to share his story. So after, after after their wife's at separate camp, I told that Lily, you know what? I can't consider this relationship again. She was like, oh, you, you are hating broke my heart. I said, I don't care. I was, I was. It's like when I feel about her, when I have compassion on her, like I've broken her heart and sort of thing, I'll go back. I said this time I'm not listening to her. So she was seeing a lot of things. I said I've closed my ears. I will not listen to anything that she's saying. She was telling she would go to my mother and tell my mother that oh your boy, your, your son. He was my deeds and this and that. I told my mom, mom don't mind her. She went to my father and told my father that. All right. So. Please allow, allow quiet. My daddy called me and said that I want to talk to you like I was very frightened and said what is it? Because he doesn't call me that way. So when I went oh, this lady came. And so I said, Daddy don't mind this lady this and this is what she wants, don't mind her. He said OK, I've heard you. I said I want my daddy that when she called him about me, she didn't say anything. So because of her, I changed my number. I changed my number so the number I've been using for so many, I changed my number so she doesn't have my number. So she will call people like Avi and I want anybody who I give my number to don't give my number to her. But if I found out you and I won't give my number to her, I will change my number again. Yeah. So I was able to overcome her with all her style. When she sees me, she will look at me. When she is looking at I look at a different way then she will call me. So all cuts it's OK. Bye. So when I came for the fight, he who is he who overcoming the world and daddy introduced watching and praying. So when we left on Saturday and I said this dinner, I must be diligent in me because me I know myself. So that Sunday morning I woke up and I started. So I said I will not absent myself in this watch and pray. I will not even if I'm so tired I sleep at late, at least let me wake up at 5 and 26. So I was doing it and doing it and doing it and doing it. So when I see the lady and she's looking at him, I say, listen, I don't feel anything. And the lady and the lady who used to cook for me, when I go around and it's like, oh, I've cooked this and so I'm not hungry. So even the, the lady who went to my mother's and told them that this and that and that she, she got to know that I'm going for a camp. She got to know. I don't know who told her but she got to. I'm going for a camp and she's like if I need any money I should accept. Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday when I received the message, yesterday when I received the message, I wasn't having any money on me and I said God. I said God I will not ask this girl any money. So I told my mom that I'm going for a camp and I don't have anything on me. So she give money she doesn't have only 23 that's OK. 23 is for the camp. I have the restoration. I have 30 CDs in my wardrobe. So that's what I asked for my pocket money and somebody called me that I should come and design something for him and he paid me 50 CDs. So you're a. Designer. Yes. Graphic Designer. I'm a graphic designer, but I'm doing building technology in Poly. I did graphics in s s and I went to Polytechnic. I diverted my course. So I could say in all I could say that especially the camp, especially the camp has really, really helped me, has really, really helped me. Thank you very much. That's wonderful. So when you see her now, you don't have any feelings? I don't as a tree, see her as a tree. The feelings, the feelings they camps sometimes when I'm talking to my beloved as like lady, I'm feeling, yeah, this one, this one. Please, please. All right. So you have a beloved. A real you did. A real When I broke up with her and I I didn't want to have anything to do with them, I told to myself that if I don't have someone who I can talk to, I can easily go back. I can easily go back so when I'm talking to and I said sister I'm feeling for this so let's hang up and let's talk later and she said she understand me and she said OK we'll talk later when we are talking in nine getting to 10 I said that you know we have to watch and pray so we'll talk later. She. Said OK, wow, you know watching and praying is working for you. Yes, it's actually working for me. Oh, put your hands together for. Amen. He's become stronger physically. That was, he said in his flesh. Strength. I see strength coming into your flesh. Oh, that's your main problem. Your flesh. Oh, it's not easy for you at all. OK, Brother Francis, thank you very much. Thank you Put. Your hands together for him. OK, Who? The next person wants to share something with us. Or I should just be late. Iris, tell us. Tell us something. Thank you, LP. Yeah. And well, and, and, and when it comes to camps, let's just say all the camps that that he has had my first camp was thousand children of God. And from then till now, like if I should compare my life, then I can only say that at that time I was more of a canal, very canal Christian, almost very wealthy. But now like my focus has changed mainly and things that people see as important, I no longer I no longer even think about them. And when I look at the people I used to be with and maybe this person is going for this party and this person's boyfriend has this car and that kind of thing, it doesn't really interest me anymore. What what I want to think about is like. Used to be interested in yeah, somebody's boyfriend's car. Like the kind of guy you are going out with should correlate the kind of car he has, how he looks. I mean where he. Thinks what was your interest? You, you like the car or you? No there there is like the whole package. So if you ask. I don't understand what is the whole package. Like the guy has to be handsome, has to look at the same way, and then has to be able to take you to certain places and yes, and, and treat you in a certain way. And so I'm trying to say that now when when I look at them and they're talking about such things, it just doesn't interest me. So I'm like, we're talking about better things. We're also talking about this one who has a car. And then spiritually, like Daddy has helped us see that there's more like watching and praying. We know that we can pray one eye a day, but so actually wake up 3:00 AM to 6:00 AM, that's like something you have to make yourself do continually. And I think because of the watching and pray, some things are changing. But if you pray one eye you, you'll be able to pray. Certain prayers are supposed to pray, but if you do long watch and pray as like you pray other prayers you didn't even think about before and God tells you things deep inside that you didn't even know. Wow, wow, you're able to pray about more things, isn't it? Things that didn't occur to you before, Topics that you never thought you would have time to pray about because of watching and pray, you have a lot of time, 3 hours. You see that things keep coming up, new topics. So you are you watching and praying? How many of you are watching and praying? You know that it's working in your life. OK, How many of you not yet? It's not yet working. You have been trying, but you are struggling with it. We've we've be honest. When you are honest, God will help you. Wow, wow. See God helping us to watch and pray. All right, Rebecca, tell us something. Are you enjoying the time or sharing? OK. Thank you, Alfie. What I would say about the last camp that we had is that I never really realized how wet, like worldly I was because I thought, oh, I'm saved. I don't do the things I used to do anymore. So I'm not really worldly anymore. I don't listen to the music, I dress decently, I don't show my cleavage, I don't wear the tights, so I'm OK. So when we came for the camp and I started listening to the things and they were really choking me. What were some of the things that we're talking? One of the things that Bishop Ogle pointed out was how we as Christians, we admire the world. And he was saying that we shouldn't admire the world like some of us. We admire the things they do, how they do their things and how they dress, the fashion, how they. Some of us are like movies. When I watch movies, I'm like, God, this actor is really. Good like the? Producer is really wow. Like these guys are talented. Like these people are awesome. Like you talk about it, you know, like we people, we we're not creative at all. So you admire them. When I walk through Mr. Price, I'm looking at the photography and I'm like, God, these guys, they're good. The models are mean, look, are nice. Yeah. Because when I was in level 100, I was, I was, I was going to this modelling school. I wanted to model, I wanted to do that thing. So modelling school, yeah. Wow. That's before I Ghana, yes, that's before I came to church. So when I was in church like level 102nd semester, I was juggling the 2 after service. I remember then we went to. School that you go to and they teach you how to. Work. It wasn't a school, but then the the agency, they took classes, so we paid for it. So we took classes before they were like, so they taught us how, what a model is, your career, your vision, what you should have and all that. So I was going for that. I paid for it. So I used to juggle that with church. We used to have second service at Commonwealth then and I'll juggle that after second service, I'll quickly hurry up because I'm going for my class and all that. And then I realized that when I come to church, I live a different life. And then when I go there, I know that different life. So I stopped. So I admire those things. I like fashion, I like clothes. I like, I mean, I like hair, I like models. I mean, when they are walking, I like food. I mean, I admire them. I admire them. I mean when you're watching the movies, you're looking at the clothes and you're like thinking this thing you can't even get in Ghana. I mean like. Know where to shop properly. No. Then you see so when Bishop Ogor mentioned, he keeps saying do not admire the world, do not admire their things. And when you look at it, just think of it as nonsense. And that's how daddy keeps saying that when he goes abroad and he's looking at how nice he just Oh no, this place is not a good place. So I decided that look looks like I admire the things too much. So I started consciously start, I started saying no, no, no, this, It's not so nice. It's not so nice. So the camp really made me realize that I was really worldly in my thinking and the things that I liked and the things that, you know, I admired. So the camp really helped me to like sort of like change my focus, as I always said, and looking at another world, yes, and not the earthly things and all. So when I watch movies. Oh, OK, cool. So what are the things that you admire now? How have you? Where have you switched your dial to? Yes, recently I was reading God's General. I was reading about Catherine Kuhlman. I was reading about her life and some of the things that she had to let go. I mean, the marriage and all that. So I'm now looking at how I'm looking at the lives of people who left everything behind. It's like she left her husband. I mean, she left, they left everything behind. And she was, I noticed that she was very happy doing it. So that's what I'm looking at now. I'm looking up to people. Who? Have left everything behind. It's like they've given themselves fully for the work and for God and all that That's that's the kind of focus I want to have now not really be too attached to the things of the world so that I can fulfill my calling and you know, get prepare the world I'm supposed to have over there. I should rather be preparing and working towards those other things in heaven. What that he was describing in the camp about heaven was awesome. That's beautiful. Thank. You. Wow. Alright, OK, Who else wants to share something with us? Mimi, tell us. Share something powerful with us. And this, this last camp, just like Rebecca said, also made me not everybody. Knows you, so tell us your name, your campus, please. My name is Mimi Ashi. I'm in Lagon. Yeah, my beloved. No, I don't have a beloved. Just checking. And yeah, this last camp made me realize that. I mean, when we hear, when I heard of worldliness, I think of because I used to struggle with friends in my company like I used to have. I was in church, but my friends were unbelievers. So there are times when I remember a particular time that I closed from service and I had to go for a sleepover. I was on campus and when I got there and the waiting for me because I was late and then they all opened. They bought out a bottle of wine and then they all open. Yeah, on campus. This is like this is first year, OK and. A sleepover on campus? Yes. In some another somebody's room yes and then I said I wanted they didn't have they wanted a glass of milk. It was a joke and as time was going on, I realized that I, it was not easy for me to be with. I meant be with them like as they are chatting and things they are talking about and it was not. So as I overcame those, I felt like, oh, now I'm becoming spiritual. I was like, my friends are no more. They, they don't, they laugh at me now. They don't want to come around. They are going out and they, they, they whispering things and I'm like, they don't want me to be part of it. I felt like we are making progress. It's like the worldliness is behind for coming for the camp. I one thing that really I, I realized is that there's no, there should be a clear distinction in my life, like when I, when I as a Christian and the way I, there should be a clear distinction when nobody needs to know me. Like just to know that this girl is a Christian. And it shows in the things that the things like having having another world in view. It affects when you're, when, when you're looking at it, I think everything else you see is affected by it. So when I see there, when I, when I'm even when I'm watching a movie or when I'm looking at something, there's an and something else is at the back of my mind. It's not about what I'm seeing. It's not about the, it's about the movie itself, But there's more to it to make me realize that I there's, I'm actually not spiritual. It's if I had my mind is not on heaven. It's like I wake up in the morning. It's fine to have a nice life and all those things, but heaven and serving God is not something that was on my heart. It's not a it's like it's not a thing for me. And another thing that really touched me is the first that we learned that the grace of God it. That's the grace of God that appeared appear to all men, including myself, and that's the that's the thing that is helping that is going to help me to overcome worldly lusts and to overcome the things. There's no other special. There's not it's not like there's a formula. It's, it's really God's grace that is going to help to do all of those things. And I realized I didn't have that grace. I watch and pray, I pray pay for grace. I say, God, I know there's no way that I realized that like my formula that I think I've been following this, all of those things, but it's really the grace of God and, and letting God be be as like letting God have have an effect on my flesh and who I am like when they see me, Sheila, Ah, this is like God's child. This is somebody who knows God and his effect. He can see it's the evidence in my life generally, so that's what the last come did for me. So so you are more heaven minded now you you wake up and think of heaven or you are still. Yes, I, I, I think so recently somebody made a comment that made me feel a little, but I really little happy that that person was saying that. So why don't you like, why aren't you worried about like, why don't you pray about cars and house and things? So the person's like us, like asking myself that is it that hey, the way we meet is always talking about is it like me? I'm wealthy and I said I didn't say I was just quiet and listening to him, but I realized that it's between the camp and our president. There's an it's evidence like I don't it's not something for me having a prayer. Let's pray above like cars house. It's nice great car house that it's I would rather I'd rather worry about a mansion in heaven and crowns. I'm sure I mean don't when Bishop always says that Sikhi phase, the king of God. All the other things shall be added. So if I feel like, if I'm looking for that, this one, dear, I mean, it's like it's so small. It's like, yeah, it's like a bonus. It's great. So I believe that it's coming Small, small. We'll get there. Wow. OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, yes. Who else wants to share something with us? So you have all become more spiritual. You're trying just become. Do you understand some of you are trying this means something else? Yes. Jonathan, you wanted to say something? Yes. OK, Tell us your name, where you are from. Hello, so I'm Jonathan from Ashesi University. I'm the chief Elder. What, what, what I've realized over the past few weeks, and I think even this morning now, I was thinking about it like as as a church and OK, not OK for my church. And maybe I don't know about the other churches, like maybe the other other faraway people we were. I was thinking that I realized that a lot of us didn't know a lot of things. A lot of us had been cut off from a lot of things because of the people who were leading us, not because maybe they did not know some things. So they also did not teach us some things. So one of the things I realized because I remember when I think the first time Pastor Kudu came to our school, he was, he had a meeting with us, you know, even before he came to the school. I think the day before I was praying, you know, and I was asking myself, why is it that like we don't really take our church so seriously, you know. And then the following day, Pastor Kudu came to our school and he came to meet the shepherds and he was talking to us, interacting with us. And he asked somebody that was the Makani. And the person said, it's a book, you know, you know, and it was today I was remembering it and I realized that it was actually a very serious thing that like, you don't know what the Macanese, you know. And so I was just hoping, OK, I'm praying that like, as I've now become the chief elder, I won't sit on other people's blessings. Because I remember even once I was with Auntie Mami and she was sharing how sometimes if you have a bad leader over you, we can really sit on top of your blessings. Like if there's something God wants to give you and you have somebody who is a bad leader, you can be cut off from a lot of things. I will do just just one of the things I was praying and also for my other elders that as we are going, we should also try not to be blockers of other people's blessings. Wow, that's very, very powerful. It's true. Amen. So who here doesn't know what a Macanese? Augustina. Where are you? Where's Augustina and Edward? Edward. Yeah. You know what a Macane is? What is a Macane? Yes. Tell us. Macane is the shop camp messages, shops camp messages. Yes. Wow. Do you have a Macane? No. Is there a reason why you don't have a Macane? You don't like the camp messages? I like it, it's really good. You really do? Yeah. OK. So is there a reason why you don't have one? Yes, there's a reason. Yes. Wow. You want to tell us what the reason is? Where's Edward? OK, you have a machinery. Also, how many of you here do not have Makaner? You don't own your own Makaner collection of all the camps that Bishop has preached over the years. All the camps? You don't have a makaner. Please clap to your feet. Let's see how many of you Wow leaders Wow, you don't have a Makaner. The Makaner, some of you have been elders for some time, so how come you still don't own a machaner? Yes. Would somebody like to tell us why as you are the leaders? Jonathan was saying that some of the leaders, the people are not blessed under their covering because they don't know certain things, so they are not able to impart something to them. So because you are not blessed only not because you are not serious, but because you have a bad leader, because you are the chief elder or the elder over that person, that's why the person is not doing well. Wow, our Father is in the heart. Wow, wow, it's too exciting. Wow, are you excited? More excited. Wow Daddy, we are happy to have you get a lot of shout of praise. OK, alright, You may be seated. Yes. So you are telling us, Makanay, you are telling us why you think we are forgotten? We have not forgotten why you are sitting on our blessings. Your members will never be blessed. How? How will they know? How will they know that there's something like camps that they can listen to over and over again and be blessed when you don't have it? How will they have it? God, they look at the name too. That you are walking around with God D Yes. Would you like to tell us the reason why you don't have Philip? You have been with us for a very long time. Hello hello, I used to have. It was on my tablet. The tablet gets quotes broken, I can't use it, but I the one I have is not on my device is on the frame. You see, I can't even I can't even understand what you're saying. Your your your speech is broken speech. Listen, you are eldest, you are leaders. You must have it. If it's broken, you have to find a way. Today somebody came to show me. He went to get a second hand iPod something something small one like that. He came to show me I've got this. I'm going to put my machinery on it puts hands on it. The person is there are so many ways you can get the messages. So don't just sit there waiting for another iPad before you get the machinery. Do you understand? So please make sure you get it. It's not allowed. You cannot be a leader and not have the messages. Do you understand? OK. You may be seated. Amanda, share something with us. You were telling us at the last come that what did she say? She melts. She melts when? What happens when the words, the brothers say the words. There's a melting feeling, wobbling, wobbling knees. OK, thank you for that information. So share something with us. OK, what I learnt from the last campus he that overcomes the world, I remember that he was given a demonstration about the Holy Spirit calling us as in we are working on another path and we are saying that Holy Spirit, I need you come. Close to me, be with me. But then we are working on another path. I realized that that was me, as in like, I, I'm on. OK, let me put this like, I mean, I'm seeing another world. Meanwhile, the world I want to see is on this side, but I'm seeing another world, a totally different world. So then I I from that demonstration I realized that I need to get back on track into the path that the Holy Spirit is calling me to. Wow. And there are certain things I have made my world. There are certain things that. Have made your world. What world are you seeing? OK, there's, there's a boy in my life that. Please, please, please, please keep quiet. There's a boy in my life that I have made my will. Not in the sense that. In your life, yes, and you have made him your will. Yes. Let's welcome Priscilla to give us a powerful. None.
