  1. People of God, it's time for us to listen to the word of God.

  2. The world that changed, lives that bring transformation, that

  3. is able to create things and make things anew.

  4. We humbly want to invite to the podium our dear presided Ada,

  5. Ada, Michael Bugri, Winnie to give us the word of God.

  6. Let's ask out. I have Pentecost.

  7. If you know how to sing it, open your mouth and sing with.

  8. Me. Spirit.

  9. The flame of glory the fire is. Burning the flame of glory in my

  10. soul. Hallelujah, it's raining in my

  11. soul. The fire is burning in my soul.

  12. The fire is burning in my soul. Praise the Lord, I said.

  13. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah, Amen.

  14. We want to thank God for the gift of life.

  15. We also want to thank our pastor for giving us the opportunity to

  16. share the Word of God with you. Today is the last Sunday our

  17. pastor will be spending in this district before his farewell

  18. will take place and I was expecting that he would have

  19. preached. Once someone is a minister of

  20. God, they delivered the Word of God as I was expecting that

  21. today be his last Sunday he will shoot his last message.

  22. But I've come to realize that those of you who are expecting

  23. him to shoot, he has finished his work, praise the Lord.

  24. So one of the lesson we can learn is that you need to be

  25. alert at every time. So those of you are not present

  26. to listen to his last message. You have missed it.

  27. What it also means is that your time is not ghost time.

  28. Amen. Amen.

  29. This morning we want to teach on the rules and conducts of the

  30. Church of Pentecost, The rules and conducts of the Church of

  31. Pentecost. When I started I was singing.

  32. What song was I singing? I have Pentecost in my soul.

  33. The Spirit has come. We need to understand that all

  34. of us seated here, the Bible says we were one sinners through

  35. the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  36. He has purchased us with His blood.

  37. He has purified us, He has sanctified us, He has given us

  38. the Holy Spirit, and that is the reason why we have become

  39. children and people of God, and that is the reason why you and I

  40. have become the Church of God, praise the Lord.

  41. So when we talk about the Church of God, we are not talking about

  42. a mere institution, but we are talking about the people of God

  43. who have been bought, who have been purchased, who have been

  44. sanctified, who have been purified by the blood of Christ.

  45. And so this morning as you are sit today and I am standing

  46. here, I want to announce to you that you are not an ordinary

  47. person. You are the Church of God.

  48. I am the Church of God. Why?

  49. Because we have been purchased by the precious blood of our

  50. Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

  51. Amen. When I say Amen and you don't

  52. respond, now come there, because should we consider what God has

  53. done for us for you to say Amen or praise the Lord to the glory

  54. of God? It shouldn't be difficult for

  55. you. And it is one of the ways we

  56. show our appreciation to God. Amen.

  57. So as a church, I have already said that you are the Church of

  58. God. I am the Church of God, we are

  59. the Church of God, and by the grace of God, God has made it

  60. possible for us to belong to the church as an organization, which

  61. is the Church of Pentecost. As a church, we have rules and

  62. conduct that governs us, that helps us to live a righteous

  63. life. And this rules and conduct have

  64. been derived from the Bible. So we can say that this rules

  65. and conduct is the Word of God. Amen.

  66. So as a church, it is expected that we will set aside a period

  67. daily to pray for personal quiet time and meditation of the Word

  68. of God. As a church, as a Christian, as

  69. a member of the Church of Pentecost, it is expected, the

  70. rule #1 it is expected that we will set aside a period daily

  71. for a personal quiet time in prayer and meditation on the

  72. Word of God. I mean, how many of you were

  73. able to observe your quiet time this morning?

  74. Let me see you by hand. How many of you were able to

  75. read your Bible this morning? Let me see you by hand.

  76. So what it means is that what we are saying is that what shows

  77. that you are a true child of God, you are a true member of

  78. the church, is that you should, and this should, this is there

  79. to help us. You should make it a rule that

  80. every day you read your Bible, you pray in the morning, you

  81. have your quiet time, Amen. So maybe if you have forgotten,

  82. we are reminding you. Maybe if you don't know, we are

  83. telling you, Amen. Shall we read from Matthew

    Matthew 6:6

  84. chapter 6, verse 6, Matthew chapter 6, The media team,

    Matthew 6 chapter mention

  85. please be alert. So that will go fast.

  86. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to

  87. your Father who is on the same. Then your father who sees what

  88. is done in secret will reward you.

  89. But when you pray, please go back.

  90. But when you pray, go into your room.

  91. So the emphasis here is you as a child of God being able to pray

  92. in your closet. There are some of us.

  93. Until we come to church, we don't pray.

  94. When you are like that, you are not a good member of the church.

  95. When you are like that, you are not a good Christian.

  96. It is expected that as a good Christian you will be able to

  97. pray every day in your closets and read your Bible before you

  98. come out. Amen #2 Always endeavor to

  99. adequately prepare yourself through prayer and meditation

  100. before coming to the House of God.

  101. So the difference between this, the first one that you read is

  102. that that one is on daily basis before you go to work.

  103. Every day when you wake up from your bed, you need to observe

  104. your quiet time. You read and you pray.

  105. But the second one is saying that always endeavor to

  106. adequately prepare yourself through prayer and meditation

  107. before coming to the House of God.

  108. Why must you prepare yourself through prayer and meditation

  109. before coming to the House of God?

  110. Who can tell me? Yes, oh, are you here?

  111. Yes, I know me so that the Holy Spirit would direct your steps.

  112. Yes, another person. Amen.

  113. Amen. Let's read from Hebrews chapter

    Hebrews 4:15–16

  114. 4, verse 15 to 16. Hebrews chapter 4, verse 15 to

    Hebrews 4:15–16

  115. 16. For we do not have a high Priest

  116. who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one

  117. who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet did,

  118. yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's,

  119. God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may

  120. receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

  121. Amen. So the one of the reasons why it

  122. is very important to pray adequately and prepare yourself

  123. before you come to the House of God.

  124. You see, when we talk about the House of God, it is the building

  125. in which we have met. But when we talk about the

  126. temple of God, the Bible says that we are the temple of God.

  127. So your body is the temple of God.

  128. My body is the temple of God. And this is our meeting place.

  129. And we expected that when we come to our meeting place to

  130. have an encounter with our God. If I am able to prepare

  131. adequately through prayer and the meditation of the Word of

  132. God, I will be in right tune with God.

  133. I'll be on fire for God. If you also prepare through

  134. prayer and reading of the Word of God, you'll be in tune with

  135. God. You'll be, in fact in fire or on

  136. fire as you want to put it for God.

  137. And then why? We all come and meet and we

  138. pray. It will be fireworks, praise the

  139. Lord. The reason why we will come and

  140. meet and we will not see anything is because at times you

  141. don't prepare and I don't prepare.

  142. But if you prepare yourself through the meditation of the

  143. Word of God, through prayer, and I also prepare, I want to assure

  144. you that we shall see, we shall experience the presence of God.

  145. Amen. Three.

  146. Be in your seat in good time before the commencement of the

  147. service and participate fully in every aspect of the service.

  148. Be in your seat in good time before the commencement of

  149. service and participate fully in every aspect of the service.

  150. Be in your seat in good time. Why we say be in your seat in

  151. good time before the commencement of the service?

  152. What does it mean? I don't understand that English.

  153. Someone should help me. Oh no, I want.

  154. I want someone to say that. Are you here?

  155. I hope you understand English. Someone should help me.

  156. Oh, work aside of that every praise the Lord.

  157. I hope you all understand. So what it means is that we are

  158. all being encouraged. We are being taught, we are

  159. being admonished. As a child of God, as a member

  160. of the Church, you have to ensure that any time you are

  161. coming to the House of the Lord, you will come before the

  162. commencement of the service and also participate in every aspect

  163. of the service. I mean, how many of us were able

  164. to come before the commencement of the service?

  165. Don't raise your hand, but you know yourself.

  166. So what it means is that when you come late, you have missed

  167. an aspect of the service. Probably you miss the opening

  168. prayer. Probably you miss the worship.

  169. And you see, when it comes to the service, God can minister to

  170. you. God can meet you at every point

  171. of the service. Someone can even receive his

  172. healing through the opening prayer.

  173. So if God has purposed to have an encounter with you during the

  174. opening prayer and you miss it, what it means is that you miss

  175. your blessing. Amen.

  176. In fact, tell the person sitting beside you as a correct member

  177. of the church, come to church on time.

  178. Amen. For endeavor by word and deed,

  179. to bring your children in the fear of the Lord and the tray.

  180. Let me say this, be in your seat in good time.

  181. I have also realized that there are some people when they are

  182. coming to church, they are selective about it.

  183. The reason is that Bible studies Germany in general.

  184. So let me get to church after Bible studies obese Also why you

  185. late? You are very late.

  186. Oshia quesia obejina ho and rabbasa abbasa much in OSHA

  187. obeying common. Oh yeah, forgetting that.

  188. So please, you see, all these things are Ways and Means.

  189. We show reverence to God. And you see, in this regard we

  190. don't do well at all. Many of us, we always come to

  191. church late, late, late, including even as some of the

  192. leaders. I'm not talking to you, we are

  193. talking to ourselves. Praise the Lord, praise the

  194. Lord, please. I'm speaking the word of God.

  195. So even if you squeeze your face, I'll say it.

  196. So it's not squeezing your face. I will not make me say it.

  197. Amen. Endeavor by #4 endeavor by word

  198. and deed to bring up your children in the fear of the Lord

  199. and bring them with you to the House of God.

  200. Supervise and monitor the active participation of your children

  201. in Sunday School and youth ministry as the case may be.

  202. Do not neglect the spiritual well-being of the other

  203. relatives and ourselves under your care.

  204. They also need salvation. Amen.

  205. Shall we read Genesis chapter 18 verse 19?

    Genesis 18:19

  206. Genesis 1819? So what we are saying here is

  207. that as people of God we must ensure that we bring or we raise

  208. our children in the fear of the Lord.

  209. For I have chosen him so that He would direct his children and

  210. his household after him, to keep the way of the Lord by being

  211. what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for

  212. Abraham what He has promised our men.

  213. And then maybe let's read Joshua 2415.

  214. The rest you can note it down so that when you go home you read.

  215. But what we are saying here is that as people of God, we must

  216. intentionally raise our children in the fear of the Lord.

  217. We should be interested in the spiritual life of our children.

  218. So whenever we are going to church, we must go with our

  219. children, praise the Lord. And if we have other relatives,

  220. we have other people living with us in our house.

  221. We are also encouraged, we are admonished to raise them in the

  222. fear of the Lord. Joshua 2415.

  223. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose

  224. for yourselves this day whom you will save, whether the gods of

  225. your ancestors, whether the gods, your ancestors saved

  226. beyond the efforts or the cause of the amorite in whose land you

  227. are living. But As for me and my household,

  228. we will save the Lord, praise the Lord.

  229. So you and your household. Serving the Lord is a matter of

  230. decision. As parents we have to decide.

  231. And when we take the decision, any decision we take, it binds

  232. the family members, that is our children.

  233. So if as parents we have decided to serve the Lord, then it is

  234. expected that we will train our children with the Word of God.

  235. We will train our children in the fear of the Lord and

  236. training them. One of the ways we train them is

  237. that whenever we are going to the House of the Lord, we will

  238. not leave them behind in our, in our in our, in our generation.

  239. You could see that there are some parents when they are going

  240. to church because they think when the children come to church

  241. they will disturb them. They will prefer to leave them

  242. in the house so that they watch all sorts of cartoons, so that

  243. they watch all sorts of TV programs.

  244. Praise the Lord, it's better to bring your child with you in the

  245. House of the Lord, for him to come and disturb you than to

  246. leave him in the house. Because if you fail to bring

  247. them, even by bringing them going up, down, up, down, it's a

  248. way of teaching them. But whenever we fail to do that,

  249. the television is, the cartoons will teach them.

  250. It will train them for us. And if you should listen to the

  251. story of some people, they end up practicing gayism and other

  252. bad things, smoking and other things through television as

  253. they watch the practice. So this morning we are being

  254. admonished, we are being encouraged that we should raise

  255. our children intentionally in the fear of the Lord.

  256. Amen #5 Take the pasta as your own friend.

  257. He needs your compassion, help and advice as you also need His.

  258. Pray for him always. Amen, I said Amen.

  259. And then tell the person sitting beside you, take your pasta as

  260. your own friend. Now, let me ask this question.

  261. Since our pastor came, how many of us have been able to visit

  262. him in his house? In his house?

  263. Just raise your hand and let me see you.

  264. Please. Are you here?

  265. I want to see the hands. In fact, be be outstanding.

  266. Stand up. If you have visited him before,

  267. Barbara, have you visited before?

  268. Personally, I'm talking our personal visitation.

  269. So wow, what course software name is Basrao?

  270. Shall we resume our seat? God bless you.

  271. He needs your compassion, help and advice as you also need his.

  272. Pray for him always. We want to read Hebrews chapter

    Hebrews 13:17

  273. 13, verse 17. Hebrews, chapter 13, verse 17.

    Hebrews 13:17

  274. Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority

  275. because they keep watch over you as those who must give an

  276. account. Do this so that their work will

  277. be a joy. Not abetting, for that would be

  278. of no benefit to you. Amen.

  279. It's OK. Amen.

  280. One thing we need to understand is that when we talk about the

  281. pasta, the pasta is a human being like you in a Church of

  282. Pentecost. Pastors are chosen from among

  283. the members and then when they are prayed for, they are

  284. sanctified. They are set apart to do the

  285. ministerial work. So what one becomes a pastor,

  286. what it means is that whatever profession you have, you must

  287. put it aside and practice the full time ministry.

  288. The work of the pastor is to pray for his members, teach his

  289. members the word of God. Do not forget that the pastor is

  290. not doing any other work apart from those things interceding

  291. for the members. Amen.

  292. So the pastor being a human being just like you, the pastor

  293. also has needs and God has promised or even if you read

  294. scriptures, one Jesus told his disciples to go and preach the

  295. way he told them they shouldn't take anything that the people

  296. will take care of them. So whenever a pastor is sent to

  297. you, what it means is that it is expected that the members will

  298. take care of him. So as the pastor is praying for

  299. you and you are receiving promotion and you are receiving

  300. double salary and you are enjoying it alone, you, your

  301. wife and your children, and you don't even think about the man

  302. of God, yet the man of God is praying for you.

  303. What it means is that you, that person, praise the Lord, Amen.

  304. Amen. So what we are saying is that

  305. take the pasta as your personal friend.

  306. Encourage him. He needs your compassion.

  307. He needs your compassion. He needs your advice.

  308. At time someone will say answer this pasta.

  309. Oh yeah, the pasta is there for everyone.

  310. So if you don't go closer to him, how will he know you?

  311. So this morning I want to challenge each and everyone of

  312. you, especially our members who have never visited him since he

  313. came. He has only one week.

  314. He has only one week, and I want to encourage you to visit him.

  315. It is the Word of God. If you visit him, God will bless

  316. you. And you see, there is a blessing

  317. that is attached to supporting the people, the man of God, and

  318. it is in the Scriptures. So what it means that God may be

  319. blessing you all right, but there is a particular blessing

  320. you are missing. I don't know why we are treating

  321. this topic today, but maybe God wants someone to receive a

  322. blessing before the pastor departs.

  323. So I want to encourage you as a child of God, as a member of the

  324. Church of Pentecost, it is expected that you will take care

  325. of your pastor. And from the scripture we read,

  326. the Bible says that because they keep watch over you, they keep

  327. watch over you. Ask those who must give an

  328. account so they will give account of each and every one of

  329. us. That is the way God has assigned

  330. him to do. It's just like a watchman who is

  331. who has been recruited and he's not being paid.

  332. Hello. Yeah, I'm sure I say may any war

  333. software audio main Yeah machine now I should hear you catch it

  334. only until when chain say I sure will suffer You see I will spend

  335. a little time here that the sad aspect of the whole thing is

  336. that the pastor will be fasting, praying for his members for

  337. God's blesses. God will bless you some of the

  338. members they will eat and be satisfied and then it will be

  339. that the leftover Detroit in the boiler without thinking about

  340. and you know what all these things while we stand before the

  341. throne of God, we will answer. So if you are here and you are

  342. the type who have never thought of the man of God or your

  343. budgeter me you read any, maybe any, none is off with your own.

  344. You are not a correct member. Praise the Lord.

  345. A correct member is the one when he's eating, he asked himself,

  346. how's my pastor eating? Amen.

  347. I want to encourage you. I want to encourage you do well

  348. to visit your pastor. And we are not talking about our

  349. pastor who is here. Any pastor that you sit under

  350. his ministry, our pastor will be going, another pastor will come,

  351. You must do same. Amen. 6 Let me ask this

  352. question. When the pastor is in need, when

  353. the pastor is in need, when the pastor has a problem, when the

  354. pastor has a challenge, who will he tell?

  355. Hello, somebody should answer for me.

  356. Maybe they have sucked the pasta, They have sucked their

  357. children's school fees. He has no.

  358. Maybe his money is not enough, or maybe he has no money.

  359. At times. You go to the mission house,

  360. there is no food at times. Pastor has family problem.

  361. He needs money to resolve. There is no money.

  362. What the pastor gets to this stage or this stage, who will he

  363. talk to? Yes.

  364. So think about it. But one thing I want you to

  365. understand is that so long as the pastor is a human being, he

  366. also has a needs. So all the needs of the pastor.

  367. Hello all the needs of the pasta, God has given them to us

  368. so that we give it to him. So whenever you fail to give,

  369. God will ask you Amen. There are some people, the only

  370. time they will go to the pasta is of a worry and our activity.

  371. Apart from that, he will never. When you do that, you are not a

  372. good member. 6 Make the church your spiritual home, Love the

  373. brethren with brotherly affection.

  374. And if you are able, contribute to the needs of the Saints.

  375. Make the church your spiritual home.

  376. Love the brethren with brotherly affection and if you are able,

  377. contribute to the needs of the Saints.

  378. Amen. So we are expected to make the

  379. church our spiritual home. Make the church your spiritual

  380. home. So when it is time for you to

  381. come to church, you know at times when during evening

  382. services I'll be very tired, and then I know very well that if I

  383. come to church I will sleep, but I will still come.

  384. Why will I come? It's better for me to come and

  385. sit under the feet of God and sleep than to stay in the house.

  386. If the church is your spiritual home, whenever you are called

  387. upon, and even aside the fact that you are called upon, you

  388. yourself, you should be able to make a personal time to spend in

  389. the House of God. Praise the Lord.

  390. How many hours do you spend in your spiritual home?

  391. As we are talking now, you come to church late.

  392. Now, sorry late, not a sorry time, operation times.

  393. Meanwhile, you yourself, you came late Sunday, any other day,

  394. Sunday, which is the last day Eradica, the Rose Day times a

  395. little. Mikaela Bakusi.

  396. I know Baus Rashami, praise the Lord, Wonder Church is your

  397. spiritual home when you come. Yes, we understand that in our

  398. dispensation time is money. And it is really true.

  399. There are no two ways about it, but the point we are putting

  400. across is that at times we should make time to spend.

  401. Sorry, when you come to your home you feel relaxed at least

  402. when you're being come on just to spend time.

  403. Praise the Lord some people who come and see if someone is

  404. sucking them. No if the house is your

  405. spiritual home when you come to the House of God.

  406. Please spend time and that is what shows that you have make

  407. you have made the church your spiritual home and even in our

  525. will speak to you before you get up from your Bible.

  526. God will reveal a mystery to you.

  527. Hello. So one of the things that shows

  528. that you are a correct member is that you study your Bible and

  529. when you are coming to church, you bring your Bible.

  530. Amen. The scriptures, you can note it

  531. down so that you read it. Second Timothy 215 out 1711 and

  538. we should enter the House of God reverently, reverently on our

  539. elite or by enough Fina will be our elite.

  540. Maybe we have started service. One thing you should know is

  541. that when we come to meet and even as we are having the

  542. service, Bible is saying that God is enormous.

  543. How many of you believe God is enormous?

  544. So let me ask you this question. If President John Mahama should

  545. be seated here, do you think that you be in this service and

  546. you'll be walking around anyhow? Will you do that?

  547. Maybe so. I said maybe.

  548. So I said really over here, Sir, when you are invited to a

  549. location, they will tell you that the President will be

  550. seated at this time. So make sure you sit before the

  551. President. That is human being for you.

  552. So how much more gold? So one of the ways we enter into

  553. the House of God reverently is to is to come on time.

  554. We sit before the commencement of the service and you should

  555. know that the Bible says that our God can hear.

  578. Pray especially as a Pentecost member, a Pentecost member who

  579. does not pray. We are not, you are not what?

  580. You are not a correct member. If you should listen to the

  581. history of the church. The church was born out of

  582. prayer, and it is in the Church of Pentecost that when you come,

  583. no one teaches you how to pray. If you were to ask him back what

  584. the pastor will tell us, let's pray.

  585. What the hell that will tell us, Let's pray.

  586. We don't do pray for me, Pray for me, but let's pray.

  587. Hello into a Hanawompaya Pentagon Papa.

  588. Amen. Marriage #10 Marital fidelity

  589. and chastity before enduring marriage are the hallmarks of a

  590. true Christian and are therefore strongly aged upon every child

  591. of God. Premarital and extramarital

  592. relationship have no place in the Church of God.

  593. It is therefore required that all members and officers of the

  594. church should renounce secrets and shameful ways our men

  595. marital fidelity. As a correct member.

  596. As a good Christian, it is expected that I will be faithful

  597. to my wife. Hello, It is expected that

  598. you'll be faithful to your wife. I remember some time ago I

  599. needed to lead a group of people to travel.

  600. And then because of one or two reasons, I couldn't go.

  601. And so I selected a friend who happens to be an elder of the

  602. church that I trusted so much. And then I asked him to lead the

  603. people to take my place and lead the people after they traveled.

  604. The reports I got is that there was this particular lady who was

  605. very stubborn. She, I got a lot of complaints

  606. about that particular lady. So I gathered courage and in

  607. fact, the complaint was given to me by the one who took my place.

  608. So I gathered courage and I went behind him and I confronted the

  609. lady. What happened?

  610. God, the way I know the lady and what the report I was receiving,

  611. they were conflicting. So I confronted the lady and the

  612. lady told me that when they went.

  613. Are you here and an American oil ship, Papa, or you Joshua's.

  614. He's very gifted. And the lady told me that when

  615. they went the hotel, they went to sleep.

  616. He, he, he, the group, he, he, he put them in one hotel and

  617. then he decided to take another hotel.

  618. And the hotel he took, he decided that the lady should

  619. come and sleep in the same room with him.

  620. And then he he made advances. So when he made the advances,

  621. the lady resisted. And then she came to the other

  622. people and that was her crime. Now, even up to now, I want to

  623. confess. I don't know how to confront

  624. that man. You know why?

  625. He's someone I respected and I believed so much.

  626. That's it's like I'm dreaming hello add up on you.

  627. I'm not saying all elders are like that.

  628. Please take notes. But what I'm trying to say is

  629. that you can be a child of God full of the Holy Spirit if you

  630. don't take care if you don't take care.

  631. So one of the things that shows that you are a correct member,

  632. one of the things that shows that you are a child of God is

  633. that you'll be faithful to your wife, you'll be faithful to your

  634. husband. Whenever you fail to do that,

  635. you should know that you are not a correct member.

  636. You are not a correct Christian. I mean, and then we also talk

  637. about premarital affair, premarital and extra marital

  638. relationships. You are married, you have

  639. girlfriends, you are not married yet, but you also have

  640. girlfriends. Not girlfriends say girlfriends,

  641. but all written. So the other time someone was

  642. saying that open baby aside and wafa, I acquired him to foreign

  643. term. But I had your Vini.

  669. The church will not stop you from getting married and when

  670. you do that your marriage attract the blessing of God.

  672. building your marriage on lies, the foundation of your marriage.

  674. foundation is made-up of lies. What would be the end of that
