12. Avoid Foolish And Unlearned Questions And Have A Shepherd

Welcome to track #12 of the beautiful job. Hello. All right, next 1 #30 no, I told you that was 51. So I'm now going to #30 #30 avoid Foolish and unlearned questions. Second Timothy 223. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid knowing that they do gender stripes. Amen. Glory to God. Yeah. Listen, this is private. This one is between father and son, and it's something personal. Don't answer every question. Avoid foolish questions that generate strife. Or they do gender stripes. All right, so you know, if somebody ask you, so how will you pay your children school fees if you serve the Lord? It's a foolish question and the Bible says you should avoid foolish. Please say you should answer the questions, avoid the questions you need to avoid answering. I'm telling you and you need to learn it carefully. This is a pasta or a shepherd, an elder because when you answer certain questions you are going into debates and arguments with don't live anywhere good. So a good wise advice you can get privately all right, because if you go out there asking and answering so many questions that you cannot really answer, you will take away faith and you will generate arguments about things that must not be argued about, but things that must be believed. You see, things that have to be believed must not be analysed too much because when you analyse something very deeply, you take away your ability to believe in it easily. I will explain to you when you ask a lot of questions that you shouldn't ask, you take away your ability to have faith. Spiritual power comes by someone who has faith. OK, Miracles are done by faith. Tongues and done by faith. Everything is operated on and implemented by faith. You're going to work for the Lord is by faith. When you ask many questions that you shouldn't ask, it's good to ask questions. It's a sign of intelligence that at a time, at a point, it's a sign of foolishness, right? Somebody said, so you said the Son of God, God sent his son to to go to hell. Do you believe that God sang, went to hell? What, what, what, what type of you see, those type of questions don't let you believe. Now in the Bible, those who asked too many questions lost their faith. And today those who asked too many questions equally are losing their faith. In Mark chapter 6 you see a group of people who ask too many foolish questions. Mark 6 is 1. Jesus went to his own country and on the Sabbath day, verse two, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many here and he were astonished saying, Now you will notice the the question mark from verse 2. You see, question marks. These questions are not going to help you from whence has these man these things? Question mark. And what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Question mark Is not this the Carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joseph, and of Judah and Simon? Question mark, I'm not his sisters here with us. Question mark. Question, question, question, question, question. And in the end, what happens? Faith is gone. Amen. They were offended, OK. And there in verse 5, the Bible says and there he could do no mighty work save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them and he marvelled because of their unbelief. He now he was amazed. I've never seen people who have no faith like this group. And what was characteristic about this group? Questions, questions, questions. Questioning, you see, and there's a way you question that is questioning to throw doubt into something you are supposed to believe. That is why there are many people who have been to Bible school, even Bible schools in Ghana, especially Trinity College and have gone there and after finishing no longer have a certain power that they had when they were in Scripture Union. A lot of people who have been to these schools were Scripture union leaders and well known spiritual leaders who wanted to further their lives in the ministry and so went to these schools. Now when you go there and you study theology as is known, what is called theology. That's why in our Bible school we don't study what they call orthodox theology. Old Testament survey New Testament survey analysis what is God, different opinions about God, the existence of God and apologetics. I mean, whether God is there is the God of the God's theory, God of this, God of that different thing, whether God is this and what are people's opinions, the 200 other opinions apart from the Christian opinion and so on. By the time you finish, you don't believe you analyse everything and say that why is it that in first and second time. Well, everything in it is written looks like David is a good person because it was written by somebody from the tribe of Judah. So he always painted Saul who came from the tribe of whatever Benjamin as a bad person and David as a good person. But if that book had been written by somebody else, it would have been whatever to start analyzing, questioning the not questioning the things that are in the Bible. That is not really whatever is that a man who wrote it and that Matthew Martin looked at copies of each other and that there are these are the following business. Where is their mistakes and Matthew copying from Mark, copying from Luke. And so that is why they have this and that end. Hey, by the time you finish when you see Matthew, you cannot easily believe it when you read Marc to say, ah, This is why he copied. It was incomplete. Well, this one was Luke. He said this and hey, Are you sure the man who Jesus raised from the dead was dead? Was he not unconscious? How did they diagnose death in those days? Was it the papillary reflex or was it the cardio heartbeat or was it respiration? Or was it the signals that they were getting from the the brain cortex or the brain stem? Now you are analyzing too much. You cannot believe a lot of things. That is why Bible schools are often kill the call of God and create ministers without power. So you teach and that's what they are very, very dangerous places. So in America today there is a movement that's an anti Bible school. And so that's what sometimes you hear them making jokes when they say I went to seminar. What is your name Felix? What's your what's your problem? Where are you from, Felix? From where? KNUST. What course are you doing there? Meteorology. Climate science. So it's too hot here. Fire. Climate science. Are you looking down on our hot weather here? Some of the famous Bible schools, when you go on the charismatic Bibles, when you go on the Internet like Rhema or Christ, which produced a lot of ministers today and Christ for the nations where Idahosa was trained and some other men of God, they write on it. They say that the board of this Bible school has have decided not to to be a non accredited institution. We do not want accreditation. Yeah. And a council marble school is also a school that is not accredited. And although we want accreditation for some other reason, we do not want to study what they call theology at all. Nobody should bring that course at all, because as soon as you bring it to change the nature. And the only thing that the accreditation board or the accreditation accreditation institutions know and understand is what they call theology, which is Orthodox theology, which does not include Holy Spirit, anointing, demons and other miracles and all those things. This is not part of their theology. So the only theology that is taught at the religions department in Reagan and at the Trinity College is their Orthogox, Methodist, Catholic. And what about theology? And they don't have our theology. Our theology is the study of God, you understand? Yeah. And those type of studies generate questions. And the Bible says avoid. That means usually they avoid such a school. Yes, by the time you finish with that, you don't believe again. Yeah, we are down for. And so questions about people like this, question about their marriage, about this, it doesn't generate anything. Start praying for your marriage instead of trying to analyse somebody's marriage that isn't good or is not good. So when the pastor sat by his wife, he didn't talk to her. So I think the quarreling in the house. Look, my friend, you don't need all this for your life. Do you understand what I'm saying? It's not going to help you. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So get yourself flowing rather than questioning things. Of course you have to ask questions to find out more things. But in a positive line, most questions or many questions are negative. Like a lot of journalist questions. They are. They are intended to scandalise you or say something funny about you. That is why generally we avoid talking to them. I have nothing to say. One word you say, then it becomes whatever are you listening to me? So, ladies and gentlemen, you must learn to avoid foolish questions like who was Cain's wife? Who was Cain's wife? Adam and Eve had a child, Abel and Cain. Cain killed Abel. Who was Cain's wife? What is that question going to do for you? It must have had a wife from somewhere. And the Bible has summarised many things. For instance, I believe that between Genesis chapter 1 and Genesis chapter 2 was several, maybe even million years between test 1 and 2. Seven in the beginning, God created heaven and earth. Then the next letter, the earth was without form and void. What happened in between before it became It's not everything that has been written in the Mahaba and it's not everything that we will even know. There may be other galaxies, other people that God created maybe who are not only on this planet. In the Jointness book, some of the angels were coming from other galaxies. Yeah, there may be some other galaxies with some other creations. Yeah. So you start sitting there asking questions. Yes. How? So? Who created God? Why you see him, Ask him. It's beyond you and beyond me. So our duty as Christians is to believe and we have, what do you call it, rewards for faith. So if you want to have faith, if you want to draw the power of God from me, any anointing that is in my life is you have you have to believe more in God and in his servants than questioning who is my mother, who is my wife? Am I called this and I said is different from what I said here. I wrote this in this book, but I said something else in this book. So what am I saying this and this and that? What are you doing to analysing me to just strip me down? It's not a good thing. You will not receive from me. I guess you will be receiving from me, but you will receive cases. So that is how people lose the ability to receive great blessings by asking and listening to and answering foolish questions. Yeah. When a woman goes to the labour ward to deliver and she comes, when she comes, she say, oh, I had a baby, I went to have a baby and I come and I've come. But you don't ask. So what did you do there? So did you do this? So did this. I can say so many things. You will not like the discussion again. Yeah, because as you see her walking gently like this, you know what she has got to do before she came. Hey, what a small thing. So you just summarise it. So she's had a baby and she's come. You don't ask too many questions. So did you do this? And then did you do that? And what that is that and it is not that that and what it is is too many questions. You just summarized. Oh, I went to the hospital. I had a bit and I had come. That's all. When you start going into things, you will not, it will not, it will not be a nice discussion. Amen. OK. Tell your neighbor, avoid foolish questions. And Uncle James told me something. He said anything you don't understand in Christianity, put it where do what we did, put it in a wardrobe and just close it. And later, maybe as the years go by, you open it and you'll understand it. And you say, wow, sometimes when people die, you don't understand why do they die? Why? Why would this person die at this time? What's the use of it? That we shall understand it better by and by. So by and by, you take it out of the wardrobe and you say it was good as someone. Many years ago, there was a man living in Takoradi. There's a town in Ghana called Takoradi. He was married, he had his wife and he had his children and everything. He was living happily ever after. And one day a certain woman came along. She said that she was going to, she was going abroad, so she wanted to say bye, bye to this man. So she came to the man S house. When she came to the man S house. The man had gone out, it was early in the evening, so she said can I want to see him because I'm going to London tomorrow and so I want to say bye bye to him. So the wife said OK, let's go, I'll take you to I know where he is, he's out in town. So they took a taxi and they went to look for him as the look when you look for him the the car that they hired of a taxi left. So the man said I'll take you back home. So as he took them, as he was coming back home with his wife, and then the lady who had come to say grab that she was travelling, they came to a junction and a car or I don't know what, came and came and knocked them. The woman who was now going to London came out of the car, fell down, broke her head, she died. The wife fell down, came out of the car, broke her head and died. And the man didn't was seriously hurt, but he didn't die. Yeah. So the man was very sad which most children he didn't have anything. Then after he recovered from the accident, you know people will say this man has killed the wife this and that. So he met another lady. They say that after a man within six months, Chapter 2 is beginning. So he met another lady and then he was moving with her and then he decided to to marry her. So he started to have apart from the children that he had. He decided to have another children because the new wife new series started. So then he gave the first child was a daughter, a girl, and that daughter is my wife. Then he gave birth to another. And then that's my one of my pastors in London. Then he gave birth to another who's my pastor in Houston. And then he gave birth to Prophet Khakra. And that is it. Yeah. So you see? Yeah, I'm explaining something to you. I think you are surprised. What a shock. Yeah, the first time this was my wife. Yeah. So I'm explaining if that woman hadn't come that she is going to landed, the wife would have stayed in the house. She was in the house. She wasn't going. She was waiting for her husband to come by. So what I'm saying is that when you suddenly you don't know what I don't know. I'm not saying that that's why she died. But if this hadn't happened, this wouldn't have happened. This would have happened. That wouldn't have happened. So a lot of things are things that when you start to ask questions, you can even be depressed. Yeah. So that is why sometimes you, you just avoid questioning. When I had an accident some years ago, the person that I was annoyed with most was God because I said that God has betrayed me. Because I say that I'm going to preach your words and I'm going to come and live. I'm not going to do anything bad. The people that I am, our pastors, five of us, instead of protecting us, look at the accident that we have had somersaulting 13 minutes to the time that I'm supposed to be there to, to get ready to preach. Now I'm now somersaulting in the Bush about to break my neck. But that accident, instead of the Lord was telling. Instead of being annoyed, you should be thankful that I have brought this accident to bring your attention to so many things. It became one of the major turning point. I wrote a book, 7 Turning Points of My Life, and it became one of the seven turning points of my life. That accident. Yeah. So sometimes you may be questioned. You are tall, God. You are the angels. Some of you, this one, beloved, that didn't work out. It has become a bit between you and God. You are no more talking with God about so many things. One beloved one exam you didn't pass, one money that you were not given, most more things. And now you are no more talking or no one speaking terms with God. It's like you have put God on hold. It's like he should wait. What is your name, ABBA. From where? Legon. Bring your gun. ABBA, stand up. Karimi. What vest? Karimi? Isaiah 4011. Carry, Isaiah. 4011. Visit. Jeremiah. Just one.

ABBA standard. Have you found it? Interaction. Don't be too eager. This is not a foolish question. What I'm asking you and I said what Scripture tells teaches us to interact with people.

Now you've got to be gentle. You've got to be gentle. Don't expect people to change overnight, Second Timothy 2, he says. It's giving. It's giving him advice as a young person. He says, look, the servant of the lob must not strive. That is, don't force too much amari, force too much agorica. OK, but be gentle. Second Demosi 2, verse 24 But be gentle unto all men taking off time. Gently, gently, gently, gently. That's why we are not just having one camp, but we are having camps and camps and camps. I'm gently leading you to a certain place. When I first came to the First Love Church, I didn't start with first. You are going to work for God tomorrow. You are going to be elder. No. What did I start telling you? About what? Moses. Moshe, prophets and spiritual Amen. Spiders in the King's palace. First love the Promised Land. How to enter the Promised Land. And I was promising you good things in the Promised Land. Remember I told you the good things you were going to enjoy in the Promised Land? Yeah. I, I, I, I was gently leading you somewhere. Gently. Gradually. We are becoming more serious gradually. Are you noticing that you are becoming more serious gradually? When I came, I said, oh, you are stars, stars, stars. Now most of the stars are elders. Gradually I didn't start you are elders. I said, oh you are, you are a star. You sing, you are a star. And they were happy say oh we are star we are stars. TSA talented solo artist. And they started thinking now they were happy, oh we are stars, we are stars. I was gently moving until one day I said, you are an elder. I surrender off. You want them to sing a nice song for you quickly. Where are they? So tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody. I was a Christian and attending church and I believed that I loved the Lord, but there was a day I came to church and the preacher. Spoke to me, he said, Jesus said. In you love me, keep my word, my commands, listen to my. Voice Jesus really needs to. Know how the things I love is your how He is your love. He really needs to know that you're willing to surrender wrong all of your life, do his will and his come back. That's the least that you can do with a love that's a man that is that a man should keep his life for you. Do you love the Lord life he loves you. Do you really want to do his? Way. What will you do in return for yourself? Will you yield and obey or just walk away? Jesus really needs. To know how deep is your life is. Your love. You love love, and it needs to know that you're willing to surrender all, all of your life to His will and His life. That's the least that you can do. One day Jesus turned to Peter and faith. I want to know if you really love me. And then Peter turned to him and said, Oh my Lord, why do you even ask 'cause she know, dear. Lord, how I? Love you, I will. Keep your command, I will. Feed your sheep. Jesus asking you the same. How deep? Is your love? How deep is your love? You really need to know that you're willing to surrender all, all of your life to His will and His will land. That's the news that you can't do. If you hear his force in your heart today, do not heart in your heart. Do not turn away. That's the only way to show how deep is around us how the is going love. He really needs to know that you're willing to surrender all. Love your life to his will and his command. That's the least that you can do. Da da da da, who is your life? I think this turn out he really needs to know that you're willing to surrender all. Is that beautiful? Is that fantastic? Wow. You wanted to sing more? You love the stars. You love their music.

Wow #33 look, there are 7 dimensions and I'm on the 1st dimension #33 You must develop the ability to teach. Yeah, the servant of the Lord must not strive but be gentle unto all men. Apartment to teach. Patient. OK, so #34 is you must be patient with men, be patient, give people time. The person is not doing well today will do well tomorrow. By that time you have melancholically sacked him from your congregation and he's going to do well at another place. He would have lost the guy. So be patient. The guy who was remember 77 * 7 forgiveness that story Jesus told, he said the man was begging the other guy who was arrested, he said be patient with me, I will pay thee all. A guy said no, I cannot be patient with you. So he arrested him. All right, so you must learn the ability, you must have the ability or apartment to teach. So Paul was telling him tell you must be good at teaching. That's why I was trying to explain to you the other time that you must learn how to preach at least what I am able to preach. Try to try to get your preaching to the level of your Father. That's why he wrote to him and said, look, this is between you and I remember what I preach the same thing. Preach it to the same. Try to get that. When you get that, then you add what two things who come in and question him, Yes, and respiratory. Yes, you see, So what I'm telling you how many, how many are ready to try it out?

Have a shepherdorial heart of meekness, have a shepardorial heart of meekness because the Bible says in meekness in Second Timothy 2, this was let Paul's letter private. You see all these were private, you know, private things that have been shared out. OK in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves is Second Timothy 225 S have a shepardorial heart of meekness, Amen. A meekness instructing those that oppose themselves, if God per adventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, Amen. That they may recover themselves out of the snail of the devil who are taken captive by him at his will. Amen. Now he said here have a shepherd or a heart of meekness which is you know you have to be humble when you are a pastor. Meekness means is one of the meanings of meekness is humility. Like you are meek, you are cool pastor. Great pastors are humble looking and sounding like Mosa Sonu S1 of the greatest pastors, Yeah, or even Joel Osteen. They look and sound meek because people have so many problems and we we want somebody to talk to us who will not look down on us. Do you understand? In spite of our we all want somebody to go and be plain to and say all the things that are happening in the house that are some way understand and when you leave there, it's not going to be an issue if you go to the. Doctor's room and then you undress. When the doctor sees, you know, start laughing, would you be happy with that? When he sees, oh, sorry. Oh, if I know, I know fine. So when the person feels superior. And he's laughing at you. One day I went to play golf and I think I was playing. I don't know. Somebody played them. People were starting. They started laughing. They corrected them. So sorry. It's like they were laughing at the pen. You'll never feel happy with that. Yeah, somebody is laughing at you. He's taking the thing and you start playing. It's not working. Messy, so I hope you are. Understanding what I am talking. About ABBA and love, are you understanding people want someone who is meek. One day there was a. Certain lady. Pastor and this lady pastor was dealing with some of her members who were who had become serial fornicators. Serial fornicators. Now as she was dealing with them, I was thinking that she would be cooler, but she was very strong. I mean how, how can you do this? I mean what I mean how can she do this? What does she think of this and that? So as she was talking, my mind went. Back into history. When this lady pastor was not a lady pastor and she was a Christian and she herself was a multidirectional serial fornicator. So I was wondering that can she not remember her days? Why is she so wild? On these people. Why doesn't she take her time? Because the Bible says iniqueness when you are dealing with somebody. And the person? Has a problem you do it coolly and humbly, you know, because people some of. The problems. What I have learned as a pastor, you know, I remember when I got married, I wanted my wife to wake up very early because I read in the Bible that victor. 'S woman gets. Up very early. Yeah, Mama said that was too much. She rise up. Early hey. If it can be done, it must be done. That's the formula that I took into marriage. But when I married, that was not the situation. She was not. Getting up early. Yeah, so I I grew up, I said the petrol Suma if it. Can be done it. Must be done then. My third daughter was born. Almost 18 years ago and then. I had another daughter. After that, but then I began to notice. I began to notice that my. Sons. Got up early and my daughters were not able to wake up early at a certain. Small age. And I realised that at the end there is something else working apart from just the person's will. There are a lot of genetic inbuilt mechanisms which make people a certain way. Look, let me tell you some of the things we are preaching that you should do here. There are some people who can never do it. They can never do it. Take it from. Me, they can never do it, but at least you can try. But you take it from me. Not everybody can. Obey. The word and stay up to a certain level. It's not possible because people have different backgrounds and issues, I'm telling you. And you will learn as to grow. That look, you will expect a certain they cannot the people, they cannot do it. They cannot yeah, a lot of people cannot obey the words. They cannot when they try, it doesn't work. They they don't even. Have the will to even. Decide that, Let me try. Do you know how I learnt it? I had a friend, a good close friend instead of this close friend. We were together in school, we were both hap cast and we went different ways. I followed the Lord and he went into drugs. We and every bad thing you can think about, he did. He has done it before, you get it. Every time I saw him. Give me some power here, Little. Every time I saw him, he was broke. He was in need of money and he was doing something bad. One day I met his father. His. Father said no, he doesn't want. Him to see his son, his mother doesn't want to see him. Nobody wanted to see him. But one day he came around and he wanted money. He needed money. My my classmates, my friend and the Lord said look at you and look at him. The difference what Christ has made so. I said no, you are doing drugs. You are. Doing this you are a bad boy. You have to check the one that the law said to me and he said don't ask him any question, give him money and look after him, pay him and feed him. Don't ask him, just look after him. Because he was wretched, he had nowhere to go. And and don't ask whether he's using the money for drugs. You know that he will use it for drugs because when and you see you. Will not. You may not. Know. So I looked after him one day. I was driving with him and I was going to put that I was took. I took him somewhere. I was taking him to his house. I said I'll drop you. He said drop me, just drop me here. I said this place is dark. He said, but I'm already dead. I said, why did you say? You already said, oh, I have HIV. I'm dead already as I'm working. I'm dead. There's no, there's nothing dangerous to me. I'm dead. Yeah, but the law said just look after him. Don't ask what I see. Taking drugs. Is he smoking? It doesn't matter. He cannot change. You see that when the lawsuit. There are people who cannot change. Do you know that if you do an experiment with? Animals. Mice, you, you starve them or other animals, you starve them, no food for 21 days and they are starved and you give them drugs. Thirdly, no drugs. When they come out of the starvation for 20 days they haven't eaten, or 14 days they haven't eaten, they are starved. When you come out and you put drugs here and you put food here, the animal which hasn't eaten for 14 days, 20 days, it will not go to the food. If you go to the drugs, the addition is so strong, the experiment, it's very strong and they even leave food and rather go for it. So you don't even understand the program the person has entered. That's why they are really against drugs abroad, but really destroys people's lives. It's like homosexuality. When things go into your anus, then you, you, you feel something there and that is the sensation that you know and that is what you. Know so if it happens to you as a. Child, when you grow up you you may start feeling that I need something at the back that is why they. They will take you to prison. If you do it to a child, yeah, because you have spoiled the child's life, you have to retain him to what do you call it? Yeah. There are people they can't change. Even this homosexuality. One day, her brother was sitting. In the office here, I feel a strong attraction to a man. He doesn't like their girls. I don't like. I feel strong to a man age. I was afraid. Are you also not afraid? What is this? It's not everything you understand. So when you are correcting people and you are growing wild, you have to. People don't have to feel you look down. They have to feel that you can understand this thing, whatever it is. And you have to remember not everybody will change and not everybody can change. And they are all human beings whom Jesus died for, and some will perish in poverty. Or you teach principles of prosperity. Oh, most of the people will never follow the prosperity principles. You can't. They can't do it. They can't be disciplined. They are not like that. They can't pass exams. Even when we pass exam, you see 56%, it means you got 44% wrong. It means you don't know half of the things which you say you've passed. Half you don't know half. You are wrong. You are wrong about half, yeah. You don't know half of the things that you say you've passed, but you see the exams. Are even full of mercy so. You've got you, you don't know 44% but go to the next level you get 50%. So even in leg on the past match used to be 40% in first year. Yeah. Is this still 40% FUE 40%? That means you don't know 60% of the things that you are moving on. So they know that when they teach her, few people can never get all correct. I mean, it's very rare. Why is that girl who topped WASI? Where is she? There is somebody who topped WASI medical school. She's not here. Was she here yesterday? But what did I see here? A meeting on Sunday? Yeah, she had a 1A1A1A1A1. Whatever for Wesley girls without a pop. Yeah, pure A. Ones. A1 Plus. Whatever the whole West Africa. Including the APO and everybody. Did she beat all of? Them few people are like that. Few. I may tell you, don't marry an unbeliever, but. You'll be surprised that you are marrying an unbeliever. Wow. No, in Jesus name you'll not marry. An unbeliever. But you'll be surprised that it's happening. To you. There are. People in the church one day a lady brought a non believer that. She was marrying him when she came to say. She told him when they say give your life, then you go. So when I say give what, give your life to go? He came then I had to. I was the first to officiate it. I knew that he was not a Christian. After the wedding never came again. But, she asked. She's in the church. What will I do? Will I say you out you married a non believer out you, you are not straight. You, you you've stopped tithing. Most of the members they stopped tithing. They don't tithe. Yeah, even you. You are here. You are students. You don't. You don't pay tithe. Not all pastors will make it. Not all pastors. Will grow. You can teach all the principles. It won't work. Still, you have to know. That a human. That's why in, in, in, in, in the secular world, they say it's a human institution. Once it's a human institution, there are going to be things in it that are not right. It's true. See When President. Rollins can be called say you. How you do with the economy? He called them out. General at champoon, head of state, 123 percent execution. Quick execution to the Harris part. No case. They didn't allow them to come on television to. Speak at Champoon. They spoke on television. They said no, no, no, teshi, teshi. They put the head of state. Can you imagine? Doing that to President Kufu. Imagine that. Then he took another president, put a white shirt on him. Up and down, white shirt and white, not a secret on TV. They died on the stick and he went for minister of whatever put them on. Minister of Rod and General. Amanda, man, but in death, why you do that much? How do this? You took a loan from there, You said no. Why was death Afrika You were head of state. He. Wrote a letter and said that boy is a dangerous guy. He wrote a letter warning Achampo and Akufo that Rollins is a very dangerous person. Eliminate that young man and they got the letter. So when Rollins, they brought him out of prison and said go for Afifa. He was at man point. They said go and bring him head of state. He had been our president before. Shot him. Six of them. Yeah, no waste of time at all. Today we have Wyoming and Wawa cases. They will be going to cut up. Because. If you are to use those principles, most people will be executed. From President KUFA time. Up till now if you remember. The first time there were a lot. Of cases like that, we were saying these people have done this, this are done, this are done, these people do the same. There are a lot of cases, plenty cases, yeah, by now. You see that most of the. People who are in the government, most of the parliamentarians and most have been executed. That's why I said that when you are a pastor, you, you, you take your time and that's all OK. It's not all executions if you see when I was. Going to do the firing squad some. Of them I allow mercy and I don't I don't execute them. I have mercy on you people, isn't it? Yeah. Abadi didn't receive that mercy. Wow. So be careful the iniqueness when you are even talking to them. Cool. You say that advice is homosexual. You don't you don't sit down and say are you sick? Are you sick? What is wrong with you and not you are after poop on me. What do you? Mean nonsense come and put. On your shots. Look, you don't understand. Oh, taking of time, always with the people. Not everybody can do the right thing. Believe you me, some can try. That's why that song says. I believe at least I can. Try. And God will bless you for trying. You know there are some. People that work for me I. Love them more than I love even some others. But most people don't know the reason why I love certain people. It is not. Easy to know. Because that person who you are. Condemning. You'll be surprised how God likes him. Maybe he sings to God in the morning. Yeah. Maybe he kneels down and he has a song that he sings Heaven, all heaven are looking at him in the mornings. He's singing that song with his problems. Yeah. God likes the person. Bad. You don't even know what God likes about him. Recently there's a man of God. I thought he was even dead. Abraham Delav, Yeah, he's a great. Man of God. He he celebrated. He was. He's 90 years old now. Yeah, He's a. Great. When I went to Navrango to preach, they told me that this man came many years ago and there were no miracles and the people stoned him. Yeah, he has done a lot of crusades all over the country before our time. Yeah. And I never knew. You see evangelist with 90, he has had problems, issues, so many things you won't even hear by God. Yeah, you see people at time 4230 something, this and that. And you see this man, 90 years old, in spite of all his problems. Yeah, you don't even know what God is looking at. So Charlie taking of time. With everybody, especially ladies. Some of you are too straight. How many would like to have a girl? As your boss or a. Boy as your boss who? How many ladies prefer a boy as your boss? Stand up. Is there any lady who is sitting left sitting down? Well, let me see them. Sister you, didn't you? Prefer a girl as your boss? A boy, a man, and there's one person here who is that Kezia you prefer? A lady as your boss. OK, why come tell me so all? There's only one lady who wants. A lady as her boss. Why? Why is that, Kezia? I'm closer to my mother. Than to my dad and my mother is very collect, so I think that because I'm able to relate well with her, I'm better at playing with the with the lady. That the majority, 99.9. 9% Why do you not want? What is your name, my dear Devlin Devlin. Devlin from which school? Legon? Why do you prefer a brother, a man, a male as your boss? Tell me because you can in case of anything you. Can do yourself some way. What come? Come to the cross. Sit down, sit down. In case of any, say it again in. Case of anything you can't like. You can do yourself some way. How is that? How do you do yourself like? If anything happens, you can't. Say I beg you. I beg. And then you'll be doing like, you'll be doing some small things. And what are these small things? It could be like, oh. Sorry, I beg you. Yeah, I'm begging. You please, I beg your pardon, You will beg him. And he'll understand. Yes, the men understand more. Yeah, Better, better way. Better than the women? Way better, yeah. No, no, no, because when you're working. With when you're working. When a man is your boss and. You do something wrong, He he easily forgives it because you're a lady something. Oh, but I'm very sorry. But. If you say that. To your lady boss, what would she say if you say that? To your lady boss, what would she say you'll. Be like. Yeah, sorry for what? What's that? Voice you don't forget to stand. Out from them, there's no. One, that's that boss. Yeah, be like, what's that boy like? That soft boy for. He doesn't. He doesn't feel anything for that. The brothers we are down for, they are not impressed, Selassie Tell. Me you prefer to have a man as a boss because usually the the. Female are more strict because they are not really impressed. Yeah. Women. Yeah. Also a woman. So anything you do, she's not impressed. Yeah, Bishop. The men are more sympathetic. They feel as though you go through more than they do, so when you ask for permission, they relate better. Even at Ong, the women prefer to have male gynaecologists and obstetricians than the females because if a female is coming examining you and you are screaming, they don't feel anything for you at all. But if it's a man, the way he will pamper you, take his time to talk to you before he will examine you because you are in pain, you are giving birth. It's very different. So I feel it's because they are sympathetic to what a woman goes through that they feel they are not going through, so they relate better. They will give you some leeway. So we are sympathetic. So ladies, you see, when ladies are doing pastoral work, that is why you don't have any lady among the 12 apostles they were making. Meat pies for Jesus and. Other things it's true because. Listen. When you are too straight, all the people can't be saved though people can't be changed. It takes time. Some will change this year, some will take five years to take 11 years to change, 22 years before there will be any change. Some will not change. And you, if you're strict and you have executed, just like I said in the Rollins government, they just executed execution. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, six months. He came within six months. Look at this was your main cases and all these things when Professor Abnote was alive long ago. That is when all those cases started, last year, long ago. They are moving and breathing and travelling abroad. It's a lot of issues. There's a lot. Of cases going. On yeah. And by now, in those rolling times, they came and executed all of them. That is why you have to take your. Time not to execute their members one day. I went to one of. Our churches and there was a sister who was in the church. She was somebody that I personally. Pasted. And I followed her. She had she had black lips and the black lips she has. Black lips because she smokes. She was a smoker. She was always smoking. Yeah. And she was this my sheep. I knew that she smoked. I knew that she smokes, so I travelled. I left the church for the pastor who was there was a lady. There was a lady pastor there when I came. My sheep with black lips has gone. Yeah, my sheep with black. Lips has left the church. So I said no, I'm going to look for my sheep. So I got a car and I travelled to where she was. When I got I said, oh sheep. I just say a long time. Where where have you been sheep? I'm here, I'm back. Well, he said, she said the women, young women, the only people, she said the only people who are left in a church, they are friends. Yeah, they are friends. But the rest of us are gone. Yeah, I had another sheep. Who? Who drinks? I have I. Have different sheep drinking. Ones smoking one different types. This one was a drinker, yeah. I went to visit her in her house and I saw when I entered the house, when you sit there, the decoration are alcohol, alcohol, different, different, different ones. So when I thought I said. What are you doing? What? Are these, you have been in the church for some time? It's not nice, you know, try to clear all these things so that we can stop gradually, OK? Then she continued to be in the church. I have another. Sheep she likes sex spa. Yeah, all smoking ones, Sexica ones all. Sheep. When I left, all these sheep left, all these sheep were lost. You think I don't know that the person is smoking? You think I don't know that she's Sexica? The stories I knew about her. I knew all the stories. So different. Different stories I. Had sheep who were who were more than more than prostitutes. Yeah, one day I came to a church. And I sat by the fire. I always, I always like to sit by the main pastor and then the fire was singing. So I said who are who are the people in the choir Tell me so I lean over like this and he'll tell himself those 3123 so they are prostitutes. So they are prostitutes here, active prostitutes. This one was a witch. She said she has stopped this one. She cut this one. She cut her pubic hair and she used it to do juju as a whatever. She came here with a $50,000 contract with her pubic hair concussion, and she made a covenant and she each of them are paying $50,000. That's why they are. That's why they can't stop. Then another time I came myself, this one gave the testimony. So what testimony? So she went to work at well a prostitution. And so when she was working the man was having sex with her and then he died or he collapsed. So she was there and he has collapsed in the room. So she got up and raised him and prayed in Jesus name for the man to rise back. So she said that one, that one is that one is raising, raising the. Yeah, that one there. She's very serious in church and she's still working. Yeah, we have different. Members. Oh God, but they are all. Members, but you don't know because. We are super righteous. We haven't experienced certain things before. We are super righteous taking off time. Otherwise you, all your members will be gone this prostitute with time. Have you ever signed a contract with your pubic hair? Before I'm asking you, have you ever signed a contract with your pubic hair? Yeah. One of my chest members told me how he crossed the Sahara. Desert and came to Algeria to cross over, he said yeah, we. All stayed together, we. Told in the rain, in the cold, we go. 1 ship went. It never came. Nobody was seen again. They all died. So we lied together like this. We lie together, boys and girls, boys and girls, boys and close together we sleep. You sleep with whoever you are lying by, whoever you lie by. And we sleep this way that I mean on the side, whoever you sleep with, that's the person you have sex with. I mean, whoever is by you, we are all together. Yeah. These are our blindness Africans. Trying to go to Europe. Yeah, with illegal papers, what will you do? Church members, witches. I'm none of the things I'm telling are exaggerated. Real people. These are witches. These are. This is a prostitute. This one is raising the death in doing a prostitution. One guy was explaining to me and said hello. Urinating. When we are in the desert, we drink urine, and he said that the lady's urine is more powerful than the men's will, so we prefer to drink from them. They urinate for us to drink because there's no more water. How deep is your love, Jesus? Jesus died for all of us. Amen. I'm not saying that that. Is how you should be, but. I'm saying that there are a lot of people, it's not so straight. So when you meet a strict sister and you say, but for me, I, I like ladies. I some jobs I, I use strictness. You need some strict people at some places, but pastoral work, we don't need strictness. You yourself must protect yourself, but you must, you must, you must have space for people to grow. Hopefully this witch will pay off a 50,000. And some of you, you haven't signed any contract but? You have had a lot of sex for money. It's not official, but you are getting you do this, you get unofficial benefits. So how many are? How many are going to be meek? What was your name again? Vidar. Chief Elder. Chief Vidar. I want you to be kind. Are you kind? Come see the ladies. Come. They don't look straight. Does does she look straight? Huh. It's so central and short. Wow. What? What did you? Who's that? What did you say? Fire. On that top. OK. You are blessed. Sit down, everybody. Evelyn, everybody. What's going on? Huh. Have a shepherd. Or I'll have a.
