Questions and Answers Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams & Justice Emmanuel Kulendi 20.4.25

Hallelujah. Amen. Before you are ceded, a biological father has

the responsibility to tell you about your history and where

you've come from the responsibility of a spiritual father is

to show you where you are going. Your biological father

will bring to closure your palts. Your spiritual father opens

up your future, the door to your future. When John

the Baptist was beheaded, his blood sealed the Old Testament.

When Jesus said his blood, He's blood opened a new Testament. Amen.

One of the things that I bishop and all the

Pastoria team that by couse grace, twice a month, I'm

gonna come and worship with you because I feel like

God is God is broad and endowed me with a

lot that belongs to you, and it's time to start

impattering it by engaging you and spending more time with you.

So once a month we're going to have a movie

night Friday. We're gonna have a movie night with popcorns

and drinks and we just want to come around chill

and fellowship. Also, don't forget that I build a basketball

uh what do you call it? Over courtier for you

tennis ball caught everything. So make sure that on Saturdays

you make time to come around and have fun. You know,

it's for you to have fun. So if you're not

having fun, you are saying okay, yeah, yeah, it's a

big scene. So I forgive you. I forgive all your

sins in Jesus name. But it's time to have fun.

Because isolation leads to elimination. And if you don't start

fellowship with each other, you can start airing. You can

air easily when you're alone and you air. So you

have to connect somebody. Connectivity, Connect, Tell somebody connect. Connect.

It's important to connect themen. So something that I want

to do will play a tape. I asked Justice Unique

Ending of the Supreme Court to join us here and

once a man will have him. I'm taking in Liberty

as the photo of the house, to have him come

once a month and just come around and share. Because

he's come a long way. He comes from where I

grew up at wah. I grew up in a place

called Wapay, you know, and we used to hang at

dun Dully and went to primary school, you know. So

he's come from my background. That is where he's from.

I was just saying there, but God has brought us

through a long journey and his excel grown and exalted

to the highest court of the land as a Supreme

Court justice. So this is what I want to do.

They're gonna play a tape. Once you're playing the video tape,

I want everybody to write a question, question you have

on your mind that you need an answer, and don't

write your name. We don't want to know who asked

that question. But we want to talk about some things,

and we do this once a month. We want to

know what you're thinking, what's good on in your mind,

some of the challenges you are facing, you know, and

we want to start addressing issues. You know. Somebody somebody

asked me the other day, is it a saying to masturbate?

It's a zerious question. And I answered it and he

said why is it in the Bible? And I said,

it's in the category in the Bible of self and dodgence.

Say self and dodgience. It's one of the greatest problems

we have in Africa today where everybody is thinking about

themselves selves. Self and self is the womb of sain

all sain. Self is the womb of all sin. So

there are issues and there are questions. Sit down, we're

going to put justice at the video. I want you

to get a pen and paper, start writing questions. Then pastors,

I want the pastors to go around, pick up the

questions and bring you to justice. We want to hear

some of your concerns and your questions. We know you

have a lot of questions. Some of you are having

all kinds of strange dreams. You have a dream where

you see dead lab ones, you have been fought by

a lion, a snake. You see yourself in all kinds

of things in your dreams, very very nightmares, and all

kinds of challenges in your dreams. We want you to

ask questions. Unlets see how best we can help you,

and how we can put a plan together to help

not just answer your questions, but to deal with them.

March tw twenty two. Denying the Bible says you err

because you know not the truth. You err because you

don't know the scriptures. When you have knowledge of the scriptures,

it gives you an upper hand. Say an upper hand, say,

understanding of scripture gives one an advantage in life. Ignorance

of scripture would disadvantage you. So you need to know

the word. You need to know how And it's one

of the things I'm going to teach you. Maybe next

week I'll come. This is what we're gonna do in life.

The scriptures are designed to speak to your situation and

to speak on your behalf. When the devil came to

tell Jesus, Jesus allowed the scriptures to speak, and the

enemy bowed and left him because he referred the situation

to the scriptures. When you know the scriptures, see if

you can get a seat for those fanning places. When

you know the scriptures and you allow the scriptures to

for you and the scriptures to speak in your situation,

you will always have the upper hand. So write your

questions right now. Please give it to the pastors. And

if there's a way, we can also put it on

the screen. I don't know how we do that. If

there's a way we can do that, If you can

put some a number or something on the screen where

we send our questions, okay, then justice will Really there's

a song I want to teach you quickly. We know

no defeat. We know no defeat. Jesus is our company

and we know no defeat. That's it. Can you sing it?

Want to go club? Listen? I'm the choir master. I

would disqualify you if you sing this way. Want to

go m h all right? So it put the video

on the screen and Justice will take your ancest for

the next forty five minutes, and then we'll worship and

our big uncle and the pastoral team will show us

what to do, and then we'll close for an eyemen.

All right, put a video on the screen.

He is a Christian, married and a father of four children. Bishops, Pastors,

ladies and gentlemen, with a round of applause and a

standing ovation to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Let's

welcome to the pulpit of the next gen Church, his Lordship,

Justice Emmanuel Yanni Kolendi.

Please that's next resume as seats Yeah, Papa, as we

all affectionately call His Eminence, because there's a home environment.

Papa, I can't thank you enough.

For the privilege to fellowship with the next generation.

And thanks too.

Fast as you come, Lady Renie, and I see my

sweetheart the bishop's bishop, and thanks for the good work

you guys are doing here, and I'm just delighted to

be here. Papa and I agreed that we will approach

this differently. I'm sure every Sunday you get preached to,

and that's the work of the bishops here. I'm your

big brother, big uncle. I've done the whole line and

still trying.

So I've been where you have been, way behind. Where

are your crackheads? Me as a wack kid, you know,

and so we have a sense that wild you hear

all these semons. As young people with very rich and

intriguing minds, you have all manner of questions, ideas, anxieties,

things that are not clear to you. Somehow you're not

normally able to act parents. My daughter is here, she's

twenty twenty six, twenty seven, and she's a lawyer. Don't

clap yet. I thought she was my sweetheart, but I discovered,

to my disappointment, that she doesn't consider me the easiest

person to talk to. But what that tells me is

that all of us find it a little difficult and

tricky to talk to mom or dad about various things.

The risk is that you then end up because curiosity

is curiosity, aither talking to the wrong person and getting

the wrong answer, or observing the wrong person and copying

the wrong example. And that is the trick that the

devil uses. Okay, a Bible teaches us, you teach a

child the way they should go, and when they grow

they will not depart from it. Unfortunately, the enemy knows

these scriptures. So the enemy is busy trying to teach

you ways you should go, because the enemy knows that

if you get enties induced and lead into certain ways

now in the youth, in your youth, when you grow,

you will struggle. And Papa and the bishops say, if

they begin to tell you those of us you see

working around as adults the kinds of things that sometimes

we're struggling with because we missed it. Papa doesn't want

you to miss it. Yeah, he doesn't want you to

miss it. This is why God has laid this on

his heart, that it doesn't matter what you do, if

you get a firm foundation and you are built up

and rooted in our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Your

cats to prevail, your cat, to succeed, your cat, to win.

He did it before, and so he knows that it's

an example that works a lot of the big guys

you see today, some carrying themselves as if they were

his peers.

They are not.

He was young, but God arrested him early and used

him as a young teacher and mentor and instructor and

began this movement. So I can say, with a few

of contradiction, all the revenues with annabers you see that

he would mails their mpir coffees were people that Paper

started working with when they were in secondary school, at

motor school, before they got into university, et cetera, et cetera.

And that is why they have grown to be the

giants that they are today spiritually. And as for those

who are professionals, you can't even begin to count them.

So this is to teach you the winning.

Ways, the way to grow to be able to achieve

everything that you have dreamt of, that you think of,

that you relish, that you admired, that you want to be,

but plus more, because what you get in Christ is

you get eternity that is guaranteed, so you secure for

yourself your visa to Heaven.

That's what you get in Christ.

But above all, if you work and walk in the

will of God, his word becomes light to your feet.

And then you will gain dominion on this earth. You

know what dominion means. Dominion means you will soo pretend

you like self. You will dominate, You will be in charge,

you will command, You will cause things to be the

way you want them to be. And then the world

and all the things you see in this world, those

things will save you. You will not save them. The

people of the world. Save the things of the world.

The children of light, which is what you are called

to be, have the things of the world's seven ass

And that's purpose vision and his dream for you, and

is the reason want to have these encounters. So in

this meeting today, the parting is different. There's no preaching.

There's a conversation, and it's meant to be interactive. And

take it from me. There is no question you will ask.

That is a foolish question. There can only be an

answer from me that will be a foolish answer.

So feel free to.

Ask just about any question on your mind, anything you

have been struggling with. We're doing this as family. We

need to do this because the enemy will exploit your ignorance.

And the Bible says, my people perish for lack of knowledge.

So avail yourself of that knowledge. Okay.

And we meanwhile, we want the best and the best

and the best for you. Want to see you be

the captains of your generation. Want to see you win.

We want to see you overcome. We want to see

you know no defeat, because Christ is the captain of

your life. Okay, So we'll start with questions. The reason

Papa says you should write the questions is because sometimes

realistically you want to ask a question, but you feel shy.

Don't be shy, Okay, there is You saw those videos,

you saw the clip of the guys on the street.

What else can be more shameful than what we saw?

So we used to have a saying in my fame

that inside shame is better than outside shame.

Okay, So.

I'm ignore anybody sitting to your left or your right.

You know what is bothering you, what is agitating your mind?

And if you feel like asking the question, ask the

question you want to ask. If you don't ask it

in English, you are welcome to ask the question in Tree.

Yes we're ready, I hear, we have we have questions. Okay, yes,

all right, So if the questions that I read doesn't

cover your question. Feel free call past attention or if

you put up your hand, I'll come to you and

then we'll deal with your question.

Right, all right, thank you sir. So this question goes this.

We said that what is so wrong instilling to help yourself?

What is so wrong instilling to help yourself?

Right?

Okay?

So, as children of God, we have do's and don't okay,

and stealing or taking that which is not yours.

Even.

In an improper manner, desiring that which is not yours.

God commanded us, even in the Old Testament, not to

covet anything that is not ours. Even to covet, the

Bible says it's a sin. How much more to steal,

to take that which is not yours. So you will

see that even by the standards of the world, not

the standard of the Kingdom of God, the world doesn't

even just say stealing is wrong. The world says is criminal,

and so you get punished for it by punitive sanction.

So even if the world okay, what we call good,

what we call attractive, what we call nine and beautiful,

our Bible teaches us it's like filthy racks before God.

But even this world, in all our wrong and immorality.

We consider stealing a criminal offense. We consider it wrong

how much more the children of light. So you should

never take that which is not yours because there's no

blessing in it. The reason is simply because God, in

his messy and providence, has a provision for each of us. Now,

if if you want something, you desire something desperately, be

humble and ask someone who has it. I'm hungry, I

don't have money to buy lunch. Can you assist me

with lunch? The person will bless you with lunch. If

the person doesn't bless you, you ask another person. But

there should be no justification at all for stealing, for

taking that which is not yours. Now, think about even

in the world when stealing graduates to levels. You know,

part of the reason we're struggling, and part of the

reason Papa praise who had because a group of people

are put in charge of what belongs to all of us.

Imagine their thieves. What happens to us of your future,

as far as the world is concern is gone.

Okay.

Also, his father, once upon a time between two thousand

and two thousand and eight, was entrusted with the destiny

of all the tty eight million Ghanians. Can you imagine

if he was a chief, what will happen? So stealing

is a no no no for a child of God.

It's even a no no no for those who believe

in morality, who believe in law, who believe in right

and wrong. So please, for christs sake, never still, Rather

beg rather ask, rather plead, rather solicit, ask somebody. God,

wou touch somebody's heart and the person who bless you,

so you get the same problem without wronging society and

wronging your God. Okay, because we are children of light,

we should be the example, we should lead, we should

not follow. Can you imagine you come to churche Okay,

you're probably in the choir, you say you're an action baby,

and then in school, in your class, you are caught

stealing someone's pencil. You would have brought shame, disgrace, embarrassment,

and then you entitled people of the world to then

criticize your faith and say, oh, but giving claims he's

a Christian. So don't give the enemy a chance. Don't

give the enemy a justification. Because sin, it's the wages

of sin is word death and the gift of God

is eternal life.

So Papa wants.

To just screen clear. We have a lot of questions,

so we have to see how we do this. Because

of time, but I must say this, and we ob

meet with Justice and the pastors and reverend to see

how we fix this. I think there should be some

kind of an arrangement in the church to help people

who have disadvantage and people who are struggling and have

some kind of situation where where okay, so they are

working on welfare, some kind of arrangement where we can

make food available for those who need it. Okay, So

maybe on Sundays we can put the rise and different

things here. If you don't need it, you don't have

to take it. But if you need it, be humble

enough to pick it and government cook and eat, don't

make it. And if you are shame when everybody goes,

just time it. When everybody goes, that is not stilling.

It's yours. It's your, so you will everybody go. You

just pick it up quickly and put it under your jacket.

You just go home. Amen. So we have a lot

of questions, so we want to hit them.

Bam bam bam bad.

Okay, So put your hands together for justin.

Right, thank you, sir.

So, this person wants to know that before the person

became born again, ran away from the house against the

parents' advice, got married. Now the marriage has become very abusive,

even to the point the life has been threatened. So

the person wants to find out. Person also doesn't want

to divorce because he was he thinks the lives of

their children may be affected if that decision is taken.

So what can the person do in this case?

Right?

Okay?

So look, not just people in this situation, but every

time in all of our life lives, all of us,

you need a master key to your life. It's a

master solution, the master solution to your life. Ah, there's

one word, Jesus. So the Bible says, seek ye first

the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and what all

ather tends shall be added onto you.

Because we are conceived and born in sin.

The only way we can enter into righteousness is true

confession and profession and acceptance of Christ as a personal

Lord and savior. Now, when you take this first major

step where you submit to the lordship of Christ, you

have acquired your master key. All the other things, it's

just a question of process and method and time and style.

Because you see, when you submit to the will of God,

then your operational manual is the word of God. And

what does the word of God teach us. Will a

man submitted to the word of God abuse his Wife's

extremely unlikely. If he does it, there's a reference you

always go to, and he will be convicted in his

own conscience that he's not living in the way that

God expects him to live. A woman who is submitted

to the will of God, Will that woman abuse her

husband or her child? No, because there is a reference

point you always go to, which is the Word of God.

So you seek first the Kingdom of God, and you

seek the righteousness of God. Is your endeavor, true Christ,

to do right, to live by the will of God.

But the will of Christ has laid out, He says,

his word will be led to our feet. So now

this woman, because they have children involved, Okay, what this

woman must do, whether the man will come with her

or not, is first to come to church, bring the

children to church. Try to encourage the man to come

with her to church, even if the man will not

come to begin with. But she gets herself and her

children into the fold of Christ, and she speaks to

there's a whole family ministry.

In the church. They are bishops in the church.

Their whole time and dedication, their priority is deal with

issues like the kind of issue that this woman is confronting.

The church gives you family. You know, we are in

this world, but we are not of the world. So

the Bible teaches us not to be confirmed to the world,

but that we should be transformed by the renewal of

our minds. Okay, because that's the perfect will of God.

So let's go to the next question. Unfortunately for you guys,

and that's why Papa drew the red line. For me,

I can answer one question the rest of the one

hour that we have.

Justice, can I add something to this Yes, whoever that

particular question, as Justice said, it's something beyond just what

we can tell you now. I think whoever does in

the you are maybe should see elder and also some

of the pastors, so that you need to counselor and

we need to sit you down. We need to look

at what the situation is and take the necessary steps

in guiding you through the process, in engaging your parents

and everything, and then also to really look at the

situation of the marriage. If it is a life and

death situation, we won't tell you to stay in it

and die. You know, there was a preacher who used

to preach against divorce big time, and he was right.

And then the daughter married. And then the guy used

to be in the choir. He used to sing in

the choir. And the guy will beat their daughter. He

will bring beat the girl to the point of death.

So one day he came to church on Sunday morning

and he said, I officiated this marriage in the name

of the Lord. I break the marriage and separated them. Simple.

So whoever asked that question, please see reverend before any

of the pastors. You need some help quickly.

And if it is not you, but there's something that

concerns your parents that you know, still come and see reverend.

They will find a way to make an intervention. Okay,

so we can salvage that situation. All right, thank you

very much.

This question goes it says, how do you stay in

key positions without compromising? Say, how do you stay in

key positions or leadership without compromising?

How do you stay in key positions without compromising?

Okay? So it's not just.

The challenge of compromise is not just in key positions.

It is in every human relationship. You have a friend,

you come to check together, your fellowship together, you are

in the cour together, okay, you are getting progressively excited

about each other, and your friend is trying to touch

you inappropriately and you know it is not appropriate.

What do you do?

That's the case of a compromise that most of you,

I'm sure may be facing. Your friend is not exactly

a bad person, but at your ages, your physiological makeup

is like that.

Your homones are charged.

Ye, sometimes there's fire in you, and then they make

inappropriate moves and make inappropriate suggestions.

What do you do?

Do you compromise? So that's a pressure you will suffer

at your age. So I'm a judge, and then they

are all manner of people who have litigation disputes and

that come to the court or that they think will

eventually get to the highest court. And if you are

in my kind of position, were prior to that as

a private lawyer.

So I've dealt with the bad, the good, and the ugly.

I've dealt with them the bad, the good, and the ugly.

You will have a lot of pressures. Two weeks ago,

three weeks ago, my wife is sitting here. Somebody drove

to my house. That was the day it rained, and

so he was coming to visit me. But before he

got there, intuitively I could tell that this guy is

actuated by some motive. So I told my wife, this

guy on his way, he's thinking that he can come

and inject me.

And through to my prediction.

After he came, lyinges long conversation, he was offering me money.

I said, oh, but chief, I mean, as you can see,

I don't need money. I'm soft airs as he can see,

because God, I told you, if you work this journey

well with God, God will never leave.

You without options.

God will always position you in such a way that

when you raise your credentials before the enemy, the enemy

will see that wrong address. It is only if you

are not faithful to God, and you don't do diligently

by God and obey God's word, then you will have

your own weaknesses and shortcommings. So he went back. I said,

I don't need and it's not a first. Somebody came

to me and said, oh you know, I mean, hey,

you know this judge shape and when you are judge.

The salary is not a lot, so he's made up

his mind that every nine and again he will bring

me something. You know, I said, Oh, my brother, but

if I told you I don't have money, will you

believe me? I said, unless I'm greedy, God has already

brought me to a place where I'm convicted to serve.

So I'm more than adequately provided for. Even if i

were not. I have no need. So you will always

have those pressures. Okay, you are in school, your teacher

is assisting you. Mom and dad are paying for the

teacher to come and assist you with home work, and

the teacher is trying to play with you. These days, unfortunately,

it's not just girls, but even boys are in danger.

You don't compromise. That is why it's called compromise. A

compromise me doing that which you ordinarily would not do.

And you have to rebuke the devil like the way

Christ did it himself. He said, get away from me, Satan,

and Bible teaches has what to do in times of

trouble and danger.

It doesn't even say work, it says what flee? You flee, So.

Cut those kinds of negative connections and contacts and soizations.

And if you can, you whisper it to your pastor

you can whisper it to a parent, you can whisper

it to some elder. If you see that. Because the

devil will play around us. And it's a company we keep,

the friends we have, the socialization we have. That is

where you are going to get corrupted. That's where you're

going to get contaminated. Oh, it doesn't matter. This thing

is just like a chocolate. It to make you a

little high. The feeling is good, and you take one

shot and it's a chocolate, but you go off.

You have this feeling.

By the time you wake up, you can find your

underwear on you. You can see that you have been violated.

But because you yielded, you compromised. Okay, So when you

go these days, for those of you who are young,

if you go to public events and parties and things, look,

if you leave your drink and you take your attention

away from it, don't touch it again because the spiking

people's drinks with stuff. Look, the devil is growing like

a rowin lion, seeking whom he may want the vow.

And we have to be so bad and be vigilant.

You have to be attentive. You need to be smart.

The devil is smart, but thank God for grace. By grace,

we're smarter only if we pay attention.

Next question, thank you so much.

The question is why does this seem difficult to change

from your old ways regardless of your efforts.

Oh yeah, that's understandable. I mean what we are all

used to. Okay, humans generally don't like change because you

develop a measure of comfort in your routine, in what

you have learned to do every day. Even if you

watch food, all of us you're used to certain favorites.

Your taste bads become cultured to certain things. So when

you taste something that other people are enjoying but which

you have never eaten before, you can't even enjoy it.

It tells you that we are naturally and physiologically wired

to adapt to situations, to become comfortable in what we

know and in that position, whether it is emotionally, mentally, psychologically.

You struggle with change. You struggle with change. So anything

you are battling when you want to change, you need.

First.

Bible says David reached within himself for strength, and then

he cried out to God.

God in his messy.

In the way God has created each of us has

given us will power, so we have strength in us.

We have some capacity if we resolve that I am

not going to do this. But because we are just

bad men and we are not sufficient. When you do that,

go on your knees and go to God in prayer

and ask for grace and ask for help. And because

one man's prayer may not be enough, don't be shy

about a weakness, a challenge, or because everyone is going

through some challenge, everyone is straggling to change. Talk to

somebody who can take into confidence. That's why we have pastors.

If you're a girl and you feel that you cannot

speak to orswerful, speak to Lady Renie, or speak to.

The first lady.

She will find a way to relate it to her

husband and then they will mobilize appropriate.

Help for you.

But first you need discipline, you need character, You yourself

need to deferm and when you make a decision, because

you have come to the conclusion that listen, this thing

is not good for me, and I know, you must

be able.

To say to yourself no.

And when you are hearing where that is a voice

is an edge you must keep denying and repudiating and

rebulking it and saying it's not going to happen, not

this time, not again, and then also find circumstances, situations,

conversations that just that reduces your vulnerability. So if you

are struggling with something and your socializations, you go to

people you hang out with that make you prone. You

are struggling to create alcohol, why do you hang out

with people who drink or go to places where there

is drink? Okay, So spend more time change your environment,

and the environment will condition you to be able to

achieve the change that you want for your That is

why sometimes you have even to change friends. If you

have a friend and that friend now becomes your weak

link because they become the person encouraging or leading you

into certain things, cut that person off and look for

enabling company and companionship. You show me your friend and

I can tell you your character. It means friendships and

socializations can determine you. So you can say that to

quit doing boys or girls and you are still hanging

out with your friend who hasn't made that resolution that

they want to quit.

Before you know.

You are there, because you are in the environment you

are in the space, okay, So first it depends on you.

But secondly, because we are not contending against flesh and

blood but against principalities and dominions. There's always some spiritual

dimension to writ. It's not everything that is spiritual, but

there's a spiritual dimension to life. So when you are

struggling with it and your willpower is not working, there's

no shame in seeking help. If you speak, seek spiritual help,

and there's no spiritual dimension to it. Too much meat

doesn't spoil the soup. You've just reinforced yourself. So as

we all, everyone struggles with change. But you must change

because if you continue doing the same thing, you cannot

expect different resourts. It can only get worse. So change

if you must, and stand by it and draw down. Download,

Papa will say, downloads trend from above from God, and

by the enabling grace of God, you'll be able to

do it.

Before we have a lot of questions, so this is

what we'll do. Next week. We'll come back and continue,

but we have to start elie. We have to start elie, okay.

So Bishop Justice will answer one more questions and then

we will do what needs to be done to close

our service because of time. But next week we want

to continue. Somebody WI sped and send an information to

me about why why do you have to avoid lying?

We want to deal with that next week, not today.

But I want to say this to you. The reason

why you should in lie is that when you start

one lie, you will continue lying till you become a professional.

That's it. Don't lie because when you start one lie,

you have to keep lying to your baptized as a

professional liar. Keep that in my next point that added

to this, Bishop, I keep calling justice Bishop, Bishop, Bishop.

The thing is zeros all Yeah, he's zeros yo Justice here.

So what's this now? Somebody said, how do I come

through my homebones? It's a serious one and we are

going to ask some of uncles and aunties and then

the doctors to join us to answer that because it's

a serious one that.

I'm feeling this thing. I'm feeling it.

It's a strong feeling. I don't know what to do.

What do I do because I have the feelings, I'm

feeling the chemicals. The last question so and then I

take a little bits of purpose.

So if you have not already filed your question if

you send it to the past test so we could

have the questions compiled. Okay, by the grace of God,

I mean, giving our journeys, there's no question you'll ask

that we cannot respond to even from our feet. But

if we have the questions in advance, yes, if we have,

let's write yes. If we have the questions in advance,

it allows for reflection and in some cases research and

you'll get a more structured answer. So if you have questions,

send them before. But I'm happy that you have questions

and feel honest and frank about it because we've all

been through this phase of life. And this phase of

life is very turbulent because there are a lot of

you have battling a lot of things, I mean everything,

including this God business is it right?

And this Jesus business? And you have friends, you.

See what is going on all around you. There is

just so much noise. There's just so much distraction. There's

so much attraction. The pressure to want to be hip

and high and to want to belong and be like

all the other kids and not be different. It's it's

it's it's it's real, and it's real for your age.

But this is the critical age. If you make this

transition without submitting to the enemy, you're done and cut

for good. But if you miss it at this point too,

then you are in real trouble. So let's take the

next question.

Thank you.

This question say is how do I know my purpose,

your call, and what's you are chosen for?

So you can know that the process and then causes

to study. Okay, so how do I know my call,

my purpose and what I'm chosen for? So each of us,

God has a calling on our lives. Okay, God knows

each of us by name. You know the song, He

knows my name. Yes, God actually even knows every strand

of hair on your head's that's how much God is

invested in each of us because we are part of

what God's image, God's likeness, and God's form. So don't

let anybody tell you that you are just anybody walking around.

You are indeed a child of God, especially when you

then become reconciled to God through Christ.

By creation. You are God's child.

When you become reconciled through Christ, that one you have

become of God and part of God. So there's a

purpose for your life. There's a calling on your life,

and there is something that God wants you to be. Now,

different people will come to a clear sense of what

this calling is at different.

Points in time.

If you watch all of us our maturity, you'll meet

girls your age, but they look more woman than you are,

and you are wondering, why is my you two?

You will get there.

You will get there, and you'll meet men your age

or boys your age who appear you also want to

get the beard by your beard is not yet coming,

but it will come. It's just a question. So we

all get to this at different points in time. If

you are fasty in your mind, you don't know what

your calling is, what is the purpose? What is God's

will for your life? It doesn't mean there's no will.

There's a question of time. You will arrive there, okay,

so you will see. Also, for if I take the

liberty to use him as an example, he did different things.

Before he came to the point where he is. He

did different things.

But when he's doing what he's doing now, you think

that he was born into priesthood. Okay, and watch when

he decided to become a priest.

It's the most.

Unlikely time that any normal person who decide to become

a priest when your father is a sitting president. Then

you decide people are minting and cutting money and deals.

You decide you are going to go and save God.

But that is when his calling came. I think he

deserves an applause from us.

Yeah.

Yeah, So we all come to it at different points

in time.

I met a sister of mine and her boys, interested

in their twins. We didn't speak to the second one,

but there's one of them, she told me, in the

same age twins. He told me clearly, he says he

wants to become a lawyer and become a judge. He

already knows. He's very clear in his mind. I'm sure

his other brother. We didn't discuss what he wants to do,

but he may or may not know.

So don't worry.

If you don't know, keep praying, keep trusting God. Keep

working on the things that you find yourself interested in.

That's number one. If you want to discover you, keep

working on things you feel interested in. Keep working on things.

Apply yourself in things that come to you naturally. You

do it without with ease. You don't straggle. It comes

to you very, very easily, and trust me. Whatever it

is that you find comes to you easily, as long

as one is not illegal. So it don't say, don't

tell me stealing comes to you easily. Now, Yeah, so

as long as it's not immoral, it's not forbidden, it's

not wrong. If it is anything that comes to you

easily that you feel interested in, keep developing yourself doing it,

just keep focused and doing it now because you are young,

whatever you're calling, whatever your interests, and I'm saying these

things that come to you easily that you feel you

can do it and not getting that's passion. But before

you get there, at your ages, there is something that

you need. By all means that when there are no tricks,

is not there are no choices. There's no choice, which

is that you need a certain level of basic.

Education, so you must go to school. As for going

to school, it's not an option. Don't say you are

not interested. It doesn't come to you easily.

You must learn it. You must overcome it at this

age when you have acquired because you need a certain.

Amount of information to function.

So it's their functional skills, which means you must be

able to read, you must be able to write, you

must be able to communicate. You must be able to

express yourself, okay, and do basic arithmetic. Otherwise, even if

you buy an Android phone and you are illiterate or

have it, you can't even use the phone properly because

you can't manipulate the functions. So as for education is

the minimum for everyone. So we are all we all

have a purpose and a calling to acquire basic education.

And I think basic these days means if you can

do it to testiary level. But whilst you are at it,

keep focusing on trying to determine what is it that

I am interested in? What is it that I have

passion for? What is it that comes to me easily

that when I'm doing it, I don't get tired. I

just enjoy doing it and doing it because you know,

my reading of the Bible, I said the Bible is

like to a feed right, So here's what the Bible says.

The Bible says, do you see a man skilled in

his work? Do you see a man skilled in his work?

It says he will save before kings. So it doesn't

say do you see a man skilled in law, in architecture,

in medicine, in And he says do you see a

man skilled in his work. So I Betty Pelly and

me were contemporaries. He must be made a few years

older than men were all in the north and they

started playing football from secondary school and we didn't respect

football for match.

Do you know?

I go to most places, especially if you go to

Francophone countries, and when you say you're from Ghana, they

play and I'm sitting there and I'm a lawyer. I

think I'm top. They don't know me, they know the maestro.

Do you see a man skilled in his work? Assuman Nelson?

He's in the US Hall of Fame. There's no Ghanian

president in the US Hall of Fame. Asuman Nelson is there.

Box He boxed his way there. So do you see

a man skilled in his work? There is somebody who crafted.

Look if you know the people who design these chairs

and things, when you have to chase them to get

them to do stuff for you, is.

No be easy.

So they've become professors in their own right because they

have become masters of something. Okay, you see the boys

who are singing, who are in the ads in theater,

in movies and acting, Okay, of course, don't do the

one that do you do, and you do okay, But

saying to glorify God and you take your gift to

another level, you.

Will serve before kings.

To serve before kings mean that the best of the

best of what you are doing will come to you

if you master it. Whether his law is architecture, is engineering,

or is boxing is even if you want to clean,

be the best cleaner.

If you want to cook, be the best chef.

I can't tell you how many people are having a

dinner in a cry and they will fly a chef

first class. Put the person in the best hotel to

come and do, recipe and cook for them. So master

whatever skilled, interest, talent you think God has given you,

and you must be determined that you will excel. If

you excel it, you stand among the best. Look at

how the Sammis concludes it. He doesn't just say you

will serve before kings. So it says what you will

be if you master, if you are diligent in your work,

But it also says what you cannot be. It says

you will not save before obscure men. It means you're

not going to be mere and ordinary if you master

whatever God has deposited in you. So every talent, every gift,

every calling is important. You just have to and it

takes different times to discover it. But once you discover it,

purpose in yourself and resolve within yourself that you are

going to become the best of the best. Of course,

it will require discipline, it will require hard work, it

will require for it may require change. Whenever you hang

around with time wastters, you cannot excel, okay, so they

become excess baggage. You check them out and then you

move on. So you discover every one of us. God

is so gracious. God loves each of us. There's none

of us who is worthless. So never allow anybody to

tell you that, oh you are worthless, or you'll not

amount to anything, or that there's anything that you can't do.

I'll leave you with this, the greatest men you know

on earth. Have you ever seen any great man so

great that he has anything that you do not have?

All the great people, whoever they are, whatever they have become,

they all have two eyes. You have two, they have one, math,

you have one. Two years, you have two. They have legs.

You have legs even if you are crippled, but you

still have legs.

They have hands. You have hands.

So it means that you are capable of doing what

any great person has done and doing it to become great.

Better still when you have God as your answer, your ancle. Okay, So.

I'm told that my time is up, but will come

back again. So in between the sermons. The sermons are good,

but I think to help if you enjoy this conversation,

put up your hand, okay, So as you're going to

make a case to Papa that we should do this

from time to time. All right, So I'll start with

so we want an appeal to want to repeat itself?

Who says is granted. So we'll be back and I

look for it to see her again. But lets you

stay at the top. Remain the light that you are.

Okay.

A Bible crist says, we are the light of this world.

So and we lead, we don't follow. So don't go

out and follow anyone. You are the example. You are

the example because you are the redeemed of the Lord.

So you are part of a royal priest wood. You

are a royal because it's that supreme Blad that paid

for your sins. So don't allow anybody out there to

lead you influence.

You are the influenza. Don't follow those influenzas.

So you determine how to dress, You determine how to work,

you determine how to speak because you are a child

of God.

Congratlations and thank you.
