  10. up that he had no be sure, will take it

  11. that he has an example he used yesterday.

  12. He is well invested in the area of oh.

  13. The fruitfulness you the masturbation example, the white world. So

  14. but this one he wants to know. So unless you

  15. er us more m hm, yes, so visual. He wants

  16. to understand what masturbation is.

  17. So masturbation is when you you sexually pleasure yourself, when

  18. you you you you you touch yourself.

  19. I think that's a big English too. He can't that's

  20. turn he wants some.

  21. Like he wants to picture it.

  22. Not picture, but as you are explaining, he wants to

  23. know it will be if you say to yourself, he

  24. can't touch his chest and that's will happen.

  25. You understand he can't even touch his ears.

  26. So maybe if you tell him when you touch your

  27. penis you use either so annoying oil, anything, and you

  28. go back and forth for some time and dr plates

  29. it want something like that.

  30. That's something like that.

  31. That's is masturbation. Also, also when I was in when

  32. I was in high school, we went from missions in Mexico,

  33. and when we were coming back from the missions. I

  34. don't know how the conversation started, but I was at

  35. the back of the bus and I saw that all

  36. my friends had guarded at the front of the bus

  37. around a particular appearance. So I went to the front

  38. and when I got there, they were talking about masturbation,

  39. and the parent was telling us, the students that masturbation

  40. is not a bad thing, but what is a bad

  41. thing is what you think about. So he was saying

  42. that if you masturbate and you think about a woman

  43. or a man, it's bad. But if you think about

  44. just a white war, it's okay, Yes, let's face the war,

  45. or think about a cloud or grips or apple. But

  46. if you think about a woman or a man, it's

  47. a bad thing, and it's nearly destroyed the whole class

  48. as a matter of fact, one of the students got

  49. expelled for masturbating in class because the parents said it's

  50. not a bad thing, so he had no fear. He

  51. had no, he had no and it's really rigged have

  52. work in our class now. Masturbating is a bad thing.

  53. Whether you are having peer or in peer thoughts, it's

  54. it's a bad thing, period, and it's something that you

  55. should didn't you shouldn't entertain, or you shouldn't allow to

  56. happen or come in your life, because if you allow it,

  57. it can mess you up for a very long time.

  58. I used to have a problem with masturbation, and it's

  59. a friend of mine who taught me, and it became

  60. a major problem for me, and our father had to

  61. take me through deliverance and also how to teach me

  62. how to stop it. And by God's grace, I no

  63. longer have that problem. I no longer have I need

  64. to understand it now I no longer have that Thank you.

  65. Okay, there's a person here. Then after we come to

  66. the emerald, iright, been sure? Yes, I would like to

  67. know what the Bible mean when it says and her

  68. breast was satisfied.

  69. So you are referring to yeah, you are referring to

  70. songs of Solomon, and that scripture is men specifically, specifically, Ah,

  71. let your fountain wife be blessed with the rewards of

  72. fidelity and rejoice in the wife of your youth. So

  73. that scripture is reserved specifically for married couples, married men,

  74. and married women, and so. Verse eighteen talks about who

  75. should the brass satisfy a wife to her husband and

  76. her husband to a wife, not the other way around. Yeah,

  77. not boyfriend, girlfriend and not and not and not beloved.

  78. I've explained. No, we are talking about sexual immorality. We

  79. are talking about sexual immorality. Next question, Amra, please yes.

  80. So somebody wants to know what to do about a

  81. situation concerning her friend. So her friend has confided in

  82. her about his struggle with sexual immorality, and she's realized

  83. that she's unable to advise him for him to change

  84. because the more she talks is not doing anything. She

  85. wants to confide in somebody older so the person can

  86. counsel him. But then if she does that, he's going

  87. to lose trust in hair and he doesn't want to

  88. talk to somebody older. So what can she do to

  89. solve that problem.

  90. Thank you.

  91. I'm going to let Reverend James and Reverend Francis answer

  92. this question. But there's something I want to tell you.

  93. When I also had a problem in masturbation and it

  94. was time for me to tell somebody, I also said

  95. my friend. I didn't say myself. I said my friend

  96. has a problem. And the person I told was a prophet,

  97. So I told I told the prophet that my friend

  98. has a problem. Then he went for about five minutes

  99. and came back and he said, the lawd said, it's

  100. not your friend, it's you. So please be careful when

  101. we are using my friend, my friend, my friend. I

  102. know you may be shy, but say that thing, say

  103. say that thing. Do you understand when when when you

  104. when you say it, When you say it and you

  105. confront it boldly and you say the truth first level

  106. of solution, and not just that it gives you confidence

  107. and authority to fight it. Do you understand it gives

  108. you confidence and authority to fight. So I know that

  109. in a big gathering like this it might be difficult

  110. to say yourself. But after the service, you can meet

  111. one of the pastors the reverence. You can even come

  112. to me and confide in me and will help you.

  113. So over to you ge Latin, thank you the sure.

  114. So I believe that it's it's we are not to

  115. look good before our friends. Okay, as Christians, I was

  116. saying it in the first that we expected to be

  117. the certain light. So the first thing is that I

  118. want to help a brother or sister. Telling another with

  119. the right mind that you want the person to help

  120. this brother of yours is the good motive. And even

  121. if that friend of yours feels betrayed, don't think about

  122. that the person that friend of yours come and thank

  123. you so for me still go ahead and talk to

  124. anotherly person. And I believe that the elderly person is

  125. very mature. You know how to go about it. I've

  126. heard a lot of people coming to me to say

  127. that Reverend James or Pastor James, my friend is so

  128. and so they're doing this. And I don't want to

  129. tell anybody because if I tell somebody like they trusted

  130. in me and they told me and all the time,

  131. there's a way I go about it, they'll get it.

  132. We are past us, so definitely when it comes up,

  133. we know how to go about it. So don't don't

  134. feel betrayed. Don't feel that your friend will feel betrayed

  135. that you told an elderly person. You get it, and

  136. and I believe that the person will be helped.

  137. Thank you. Okay, follow up, there's another question.

  138. Actually, so somebody wants to know what to do about

  139. several guys telling her that they are all sexually attracted

  140. to her. I remember in the first service we mentioned

  141. that it's not of yourself. Even if you dress decently,

  142. there are still people who have certain ideologies you can't control.

  143. But she says, every time she posts a picture of

  144. herself or every time they see her, it's not just

  145. one person. Several different guys just tell her, oh, I'm

  146. sexually attracted to you. She wants to know what to

  147. do about it.

  148. Please. Is this person married?

  149. No, the person is, The person is not married, and

  150. the person is she's twenty twenty.

  151. Yes, and the person is sexually practicing sexal No.

  152. People are telling the person that they are sexually attracted

  153. to her.

  154. Yes, I understand. I'm asking because you know the person.

  155. Yes.

  156. Yes, is the person engaging in the activity already?

  157. No? Not yet? Wonderful? Oh sorry I said not yet? Sorry,

  158. So forgive me. Yeah, it's not not yet. I meant sorry.

  159. Oh I think that I would saying something in the

  160. first service. No matter how you dress, beautilizing the eyes

  161. of the beholder, you can wear for and somebody who

  162. still see you and feel attracted to you, you can wear.

  163. I mean, you can go and hide in a hole

  164. and somebody will still be attracted to you. You ask yourself.

  165. They are certain pout that you see. They look very nasty,

  166. very dirty, but still they have their love. Once you

  167. get it, and it's not bad when people are are

  168. sexually attracted to you. But you see what makes it bad.

  169. It's when you have that motive of also intentionally enticing

  170. them to be sexually attracted to you. It becomes a problem.

  171. It's it's that's a very serious thing. So everyeople are

  172. coming to you for for example, Have people are fifty

  173. years and they see me and they say, Charlie, they

  174. love you, they love me? Hello, yes, yes, and I'm

  175. being I mean yes yes, not I'm not and not

  176. only Ghanna out of Ghanna. Have people don't see me

  177. and they look at me.

  178. Please take your time and take your time, take your time.

  179. Please, you see pastor James or you sure you're able

  180. to see however we are, we're able to God is

  181. protecting your husband for you. You see, he mentioned that

  182. some people are even outside Ghanas and they love him

  183. and they are attracted to him. So some of you are

  184. thinking like, how is that even possible. In the acts

  185. relating to sex, they mentioned that now people have fulm

  186. sex and all that that's what the woman wanted to

  187. do with pastor James.

  188. Do you understand, So.

  189. It's like, it's not like you have to be physically

  190. present with a person.

  191. You can be anywhere and they will track you.

  192. So this thing we are doing here is for you

  193. to know the dynamics and know how you.

  194. Will deal with it. So he's on course.

  195. So you have people coming and sexually attracted to you

  196. and all of that. The only thing is that if

  197. you are doing it on purpose to gain their attention

  198. so they'll be sexually attracted to you, that is a problem.

  199. But you don't have any bad motive. I mean, you're

  200. a dressing or you're having your own dressing, living your life,

  201. and people are it will always be there no matter

  202. how dirty how ugly you are, you still have people

  203. in love with you. Don't forget that people's pets are

  204. the chimpanzees. Hello, I should break it down. You see

  205. how ugly sheppanzi is. Understand that people have their as

  206. their pets. That means that no matter how ugly you are,

  207. somebody is still attracted to word to you. You get it.

  208. So understanding that way and don't see it that's a

  209. bad thing. But when you have the bad motive, a

  210. bad motive to entize them, then it becomes something else.

  211. And I think that when you have more people coming

  212. to you telling you talent, I'm sexually attracted to you. Also,

  213. you can prayer about it that God close their eye,

  214. close their eyes so that they are not sexually attracted

  215. to me. Amen, Marnatha.

  216. Okay sometimes.

  217. Okay, So can I move on a question? Yes, okay,

  218. thank you Bishore. So someone is asking she a friend

  219. told her right, that's in a case where in a

  220. case where say you have your family has a history

  221. of not being able to give birth when when the

  222. women get married, right, someone then advised that why don't

  223. you give birth before you know married, because that's what

  224. that one it happens. But the woman, the woman and

  225. that family get married, they're able to give birth. So

  226. the advice to the person was engage in pre married

  227. to our sex so that you can have your children

  228. before you get married.

  229. Right, So what would we say to that's wonderful.

  230. So in the case where the person is dealing with

  231. a generational case where they are fighting the spirit of

  232. barrenness and they have been advised to engage in pre

  233. marital sex, it is ninety nine point nine percent spiritually

  234. and physically proven that if you engage in pre marital sex,

  235. you still will not have a child because the problem

  236. is the spirit of barrenness. It's not the spirit of

  237. barrenness against marriage or the spirit of barrenness before marriage.

  238. Is the spirit of barrenness. Now, the easy way to

  239. solve a problem, I want all of you to hear me.

  240. The easy way to solve a problem when people bring

  241. you advice is to compare it to the word of God.

  242. What does the Word of God say about this advice

  243. that is being brought to me? And the Word of

  244. God says that we should not engage in premarital sex

  245. because there are all kinds of complications and things that

  246. you do. For instance, the child is born out of wedlock.

  247. There's a case that goes with that. There they are

  248. certain things that hang over the child's life of whatever

  249. because they were born out of wedlock. David said, my mother,

  250. my mother conceived me in sin. That means he was

  251. born out of wedlock. So there are so many cases

  252. and problems that go with premit our sex and having children.

  253. So the best thing to do is to wait to

  254. be married and then try and God can use you.

  255. And I'm prophesying to whoever asked that question that God

  256. will use you to break that case in your The

  257. other thing is that people think that it is.

  258. Sexual act that brings children.

  259. Children are gifts from God. So if you engage in

  260. it thinking that you give Beth, you are having the

  261. wrong mind. It is God who give children. If God

  262. has not given it to you, don't think that you

  263. can work your own way out and habits.

  264. Hello Amen, Amen, So to your question earlier on Emerald,

  265. so yes. So first, the Salonians of the five verse

  266. trainy four the Bible said that abstained from all appearance

  267. of evil. It appears sometimes your mind might not even

  268. think of it that, but it appears to be that

  269. kind abstain. So now everyone would think, oh, you are

  270. beautiful this I'm.

  271. Abstain and the other when you read.

  272. When you read James, I want to pull up that

  273. scripture as well so we get better understanding.

  274. James.

  275. For seven, the Bible said that, so humble yourselves before God.

  276. Rasis the devil and he will flee from you if

  277. you don't give in. They would know eventually. Go amen,

  278. So that will help, Yes, consistency, it breaks resistance.

  279. Amen.

  280. Yes, there's a question. I'm coming to that, okay, and

  281. work past the James said. Please, if you are married,

  282. know that God gives children, but you performing your sexual

  283. activities is very important.

  284. Do it.

  285. You can't be lying down with the person and say

  286. that God do it and as you are doing it,

  287. God will perform the miracle through the activities.

  288. Is that okay?

  289. So someone can't take a literally that I'm just lying

  290. with my wife.

  291. God will do it. No, do it? Please? Yes, any

  292. time anywhere you are to do it. There's no timeline, okay,

  293. So I'm very glad.

  294. Then we come to our pastors and bishops HAVERI so

  295. this question is very important to me. And my question

  296. is our fetishes. When I say fetishes, I mean when

  297. I say break it down fetishes. I mean in firsts

  298. a head to sacking, hear liaking, so you could stimulate

  299. the activity of sex.

  300. Okay, So I wanted to ask.

  301. The scripture and two if it is done in the

  302. confines of marriage. So perhaps you want to have intercourse

  303. with your wife and maybe the only maybe one of

  304. the ways she gets into the mood is by you

  305. maybe fingering hair or tacking hair toes and the other

  306. the other things people do. I wanted to know, is

  307. it right?

  308. And yes? So that's my question.

  309. Please is someone answering like no, one wonderful?

  310. Please? They have released this question to me.

  311. So yes, okay, I think so.

  312. My friend.

  313. M please are you answering? You are answering the question that.

  314. I want to ask.

  315. No, we have to help answer.

  316. I was just.

  317. Okay.

  318. So in my class, we're discussing in decent dressing. In

  319. the class I was in, we're discussing in decent dressing,

  320. we're saying, for instance, showing your stomach, how is it

  321. enticing someone like a man showing his chest.

  322. Some find it enticing.

  323. It may be indecent, but I mean seeing a man's

  324. chest maybe for me back in the day was problematic.

  325. But maybe it's not problematic. So what what will we

  326. say is indecent dressing? We know that it is what

  327. will entie someone sexually, that is what is indecent. But

  328. we're having a little banter about it, and so we

  329. want to get some clarity.

  330. To answer the first question. And Reverend quick who is

  331. going to take that up. I just want to say

  332. that being married does not mean that you are you

  333. cannot be sexually a mora. Like for instance, when I

  334. was marrying and I was going through counseling, our counselor

  335. told us that these are gray acts. When I say

  336. gray acts, things you do not practice in your your

  337. your marriage sexually, they are gray acts. You don't do them.

  338. So just because you are married doesn't mean that you

  339. can you can masturbate, or you can do this, or

  340. you can do that. It is still sexually i mora.

  341. Whether you are practicing it with your wife or not,

  342. it's still sexually a mora.

  343. Please answer the question, yes, please. I think Bishop mentioned

  344. some of them. But in the confines of marriage, if

  345. you are asking forcripture, the scripture talks about in our

  346. sex that you are, that's not the area God has

  347. prescribed for us to have sexual intercourse. So if you

  348. are engaging in in our sex, it's not the right way,

  349. but people still do it because they are married. If

  350. you want people want a scripture to back their fantasis,

  351. it's a fantasy. It is something that you have watched

  352. and you want to practice if you want to feel

  353. okay thinking that if the Bible has said it, then

  354. I would do it. With the things that he's mentioning,

  355. sacking somebody's tools and some of the things. If I

  356. mentioned the people who scream some of the there is

  357. why he said fetishes, they are wilder things. People wants

  358. to be beating, people want to be handcuffed, do you understand,

  359. And people want to do a lot of things to

  360. to get to whatever climax they have to get to please.

  361. With those things, we cannot give you a verse that

  362. will help you to continue doing it. But if you're

  363. going to take somebody's daughter that you want to take,

  364. or stat that heir through such humiliations and pains that

  365. one in the confides of marriage, I think you would

  366. you would manage yourself there. But it's not advisable to

  367. kill someone in the process of you enjoying yourself. That

  368. the scripture speaks about in now that's not the right way,

  369. but the other. But they have to understand that the

  370. Bible was is that our body is the temple of

  371. the Holy Spirit.

  372. Do you understand?

  373. So what you are doing to the temple, if it

  374. is appearing to be evil, abstain please, saying if it's

  375. appearing because some of the even styles that you would

  376. do at home, those who are even married. Sometimes when

  377. you are you want to do it. You look that

  378. this one, it's like it's evil. You want to kill

  379. somebody's daughter, you want to kill somebody's son.

  380. Please abstain.

  381. Ray, We cannot give you a vest for your friend

  382. to continue. It's not your friend. You're asking for yourself. Okay,

  383. Like as you getting married, you there are some stars

  384. you want to do. So I think with those things,

  385. yeah yeah, so you with Dustin, see me let me

  386. show you certain things. Yeah, brief, you are certain things.

  387. Just also add to what Reven could be saying, most

  388. of these things come about maybe when you engage yourself.

  389. Maybe in pornography movies. You see all of these things

  390. in them, so it makes it look normal. You know,

  391. when you watch pornography movie, all of these things we

  392. are talking about. You see them in them, you know,

  393. so if you're not careful, it has a way of

  394. letting you see. That is okay. But all that they're

  395. doing is act good. It's an act, you know, it's

  396. an Whatever they're doing there in that pornography movie is

  397. an act.

  398. I mean, how can they an my human being.

  399. Stay on a person for hours?

  400. So they're no my human No.

  401. What I'm saying is this, no, like you see, people

  402. can do two millions fives then that you like, like

  403. an hour?

  404. No, man, humans have not Please how many of you

  405. believe they are there?

  406. Now? There?

  407. If you have not seen something, yes, it's not, it's not.

  408. It's not anyone who on viagra and the rest people

  409. are strong. So if you have not met setting you

  410. and you are maybe around to five means it's okay.

  411. Don't generalize, don't ever looking for but who stay one hour?

  412. Like the way I said somebody money? Hey, how does

  413. it feel to have somebody like that? Mind from it?

  414. Please?

  415. When you get married, yeah, find out your husband can

  416. see me too. There are ways you can go for

  417. more than two minutes or five minutes. There's a question here,

  418. and it's very less all pay attention with the person

  419. needs real help. Said that, please keep me an animals.

  420. So I have a friend who has been suffering from

  421. sexual immorality, and she has been ripped three times, but

  422. she keeps getting involved with the same people. It's been

  423. going on for years. It's been going on for years.

  424. She's not getting any better. She also got involved with

  425. a girl a year ago. Ever since she hasn't been

  426. the same. Now she has stopped, but she still thinks

  427. the same. But according to her, she grew up in

  428. an environment where she got exposed to it by her

  429. father and as a child she thought it was no

  430. and has grown up to practice and has grown up

  431. to practice. See, she's losing herself day by day and

  432. being abusing herself. She needs help and as a friend,

  433. this is the best I can do for her. And

  434. the exposure said that, I mean by her father bringing

  435. in different women.

  436. She needs help. Please really? Okay? Sorry? Please?

  437. Really?

  438. You wanted to ask a question and answer?

  439. Oh?

  440. Please?

  441. Okay okay? And you you're confusing me. Are you asked

  442. about the indiscent dressing?

  443. Yes? Please? You said that? Is it good? Oh? Sorry?

  444. I want you please?

  445. So I was asking about I was asking about what

  446. what would classify with descent?

  447. Yes, because, oh, okay, I think it's very simple. Please

  448. pull up the definition for indecent. Oh no, I'm just

  449. using it to say something. Please, I'm just you needing

  450. to say something. M You see people feel, People feel

  451. based on location and environments and things that are timed

  452. as indecent. So there's some there are certain things, okay, pleasecribing.

  453. Okay, So indecent means not conforming with generally accepted standards

  454. of behavior, especially in relation.

  455. To sexual matters. Wonderful.

  456. So right now, there are some places that I can

  457. remove the shirt I'm wearing and it's not being indecent there.

  458. And there's some.

  459. Places, not even the beach like normal settings, because of

  460. how they dress. There are some places in countries. When

  461. you visit the place, the rate at which and the

  462. things that people wear when you have you are not

  463. from that place, it will confuse you. You will think that, hey,

  464. why are they dressing this way? But to them it

  465. is normal. So when you come to the world's standard,

  466. indecent is really classified according to geographic let me say geographically.

  467. But when you come to biblically, you have to understand

  468. that indecent. It's what is no modesty in your dressing

  469. and your presentation. Sometimes you that you the way you've dressed,

  470. you know that you are appearing evil to certain people,

  471. And I say evil, it's it's you know that as well.

  472. You see yourself in the mirror and you say, wow,

  473. I'm looking hot. So you have seen yourself before going out,

  474. you know. And I thought passages. One other time we

  475. came to visit to our paint if you remember, yes,

  476. we came to visit to your paint anyway in school

  477. and when we're going out that since we're seen before

  478. going out, it was.

  479. It was like they have not dressed. Do you understand?

  480. It's like shot shot shot tight. And I thought passages

  481. that I'm not having to paint again. So if you

  482. remember those time, we will call you and you will come.

  483. I I you have sat. I'm saying to me it

  484. is indocent, but to them it's the norma and every

  485. day where that biblically, it's not right. It's not modest,

  486. it's not covering you. And if it is not covering you,

  487. it is not decent. So if you are, you are

  488. showing your stomach and your novel and things are appearing,

  489. and it's like you know it.

  490. Do you understand?

  491. And people intentionally, those who pump their breasts, they intentionally

  492. hip it and puts on it. And the intentional work

  493. can they be set so as you are doing it,

  494. and you're doing that like you know it yourself, you

  495. get So it's like that and if they want to

  496. justify that, it's not right. It's indecent and biblically it

  497. is not encouraged. That's why the Bible said that teach

  498. the women to dress modestly, say that those who are

  499. married teach the younger ones. You understand, So we teach

  500. people how to dress modestly even if you are when

  501. you are when you get married. There are certain things

  502. you wear, and that's sent things you don't wear, the

  503. a certain things you wear in the bedroom, the accentings

  504. you don't wear in the bedroom. So all these things

  505. are done. Please you said yes, so please please do

  506. you understand?

  507. Yes?

  508. So, I don't want to give some of the examples

  509. of maybe if you wear this, it's indecent. No, it's

  510. generally if as it is, we can't we can't keep it. Please,

  511. I heard there is time and the main series they've closed,

  512. but it is raining, so we cannot release you now.

  513. So let's pick one or two questions then, h yeah,

  514. the question I read it will be answered, It will

  515. be answered.

  516. How does sexual immorality impact individuals mental emotional?

  517. If you can, if you can, if you can't speak louder, How.

  518. Does sexual immorality impact in the just meant emotional wellbeing?

  519. Mental wellbeing?

  520. How does sexual immorality impact individuals mental and emotional worldbeing?

  521. Okay, please do so.

  522. For instance, when I when and what I'm going to

  523. say sounds funny, but it's not funny. When I when

  524. I was having my problem with masturbation, it affected me

  525. so drastically that one day I thought of severing my

  526. my organ I thought of severing it because I was like,

  527. this thing is not going to stop as long as

  528. this thing is there, so let's just remove it and

  529. then I'll be free. Thankfully I didn't, But so it

  530. really affects people's state up and the first thing that

  531. affects you is the guilt. The first thing that affects

  532. you is the guilt. Then the second thing that will

  533. affect you is the sin, then the condemnation of it.

  534. So you condemn yourself for this, and sexual immorality has

  535. led to people taking their lives. Sexual immorality has led

  536. to people taking their lives. And So to answer your question,

  537. can it affect you yes? Does it affect you yes?

  538. Will it affect you yes? So the best thing is

  539. just to abstain from it and and not get involved

  540. in it at all. Yeah, please go and say, I

  541. think truthfully, when I was going to marry, you know,

  542. I was saying the first service stabited for twelve years,

  543. two thousand and two to two thousand and fourteen, before

  544. I met the woman I wanted to marry. Now, say,

  545. when we're about marrying, the counselor says, you're going to

  546. do tests. When we got there, I was afraid. They

  547. said we do HIV something something something test, and I

  548. told her to do it first because in my mind

  549. is it? My mind was not right. In fact, I

  550. was very guilty, and I felt that, no, I've contracted

  551. one of those you get because apart from you can't

  552. you must have better. I feel that that is before

  553. I realize you're sleeping with other things. Hello, so that

  554. the room is quiet, you'll be sleeping with other things?

  555. Is it? The twelve years. I said that are scared.

  556. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. So the twelve us.

  557. Wonderful.

  558. We are brothers in Christ. Yeah, nobody understands.

  559. So please. So we have quite a number of questions

  560. coming up. Yes, so that we've not answered the first one.

  561. So please if we can answer the first one, and

  562. please there's another question here. The president said that we

  563. said sex it's for married people. What if you are

  564. engaged and you're about to get married and you have

  565. sex is a right.

  566. I'll never forget when I was getting married, my wedding

  567. I believe was on a was it on Saturday Friday?

  568. It was on a Friday. If somebody's so so shouting Thursday,

  569. why are you the one who married? I know who

  570. it is? Iad voice. So we had to sign the

  571. register before I married because it was a holiday, and

  572. on the holiday they don't sign register. So I remember

  573. when I signed the register. Then somebody told me that Charlie,

  574. now you have the license, so don't wait for tomorrow.

  575. Do everything today. And I laughed and in my head

  576. I said, no way. Just because you are engaged doesn't

  577. mean you can't do what's married people do until you

  578. are married before God, don't engage yourselves because you see

  579. something you don't understand, something you don't understand, like for me,

  580. for me as a pastor like this, I deal with

  581. a lot of women. And you see that if my

  582. wife was in town, she'll be sitting down in one

  583. of the chairs waiting for me to finish what I'm doing.

  584. You'll see that you'll give me a very long distance.

  585. She won't come close to me and be sitting close

  586. trying to pop her ear into what I'm listening to,

  587. into what I'm discussing. And one of the reasons why

  588. she doesn't do that is because when I was courting

  589. her to get married, I never did anything with her.

  590. I didn't kiss her, I didn't touch it. The first

  591. time I kissed her, it was on on the altar

  592. when they said you may now kiss the bride. That

  593. is when I kissed my wife for the first time.

  594. Do you understand so so so so when you engage

  595. in certain things, women are emotional beans. When you engage

  596. with in certain things before the right time, you are

  597. setting yourself up for failure. Because if you touch her

  598. before your wedding and she now sees you with other women,

  599. she will start thinking that, ah, what is he doing

  600. with those women? Because you didn't you you couldn't abstain

  601. and you couldn't hold yourself from doing it with her.

  602. What stops you from doing it with other women? And

  603. it will cause a very huge problem in your marriage.

  604. No trust? No, no, what's the word I'm looking for.

  605. I'll live it at trust? No trust? And people have

  606. to work back the trust years and years and years

  607. and years. And doesn't mean that if if your wife

  608. or your husband breaks your trust, you shouldn't work back

  609. and trust them again. No, you should. You should. It's

  610. a godly thing. Two, it's a godly thing to try

  611. and make the homework. If it doesn't work, it's another situation.

  612. But it's a godly thing to try and make the homework.

  613. So we should strive to try and make our homes work.

  614. You understand, okay?

  615. So please the first question? Yes, yes. So for the

  616. first question, the person needs to be taken through deliverance

  617. number one and then number two you need counseling. So

  618. it would be very advisable that I know you want

  619. to be unanimous. It to be very advisable that after

  620. after the service, you come and see me and let

  621. me know that I am the one going through this situation.

  622. I will help you. I will help you go through prayer,

  623. I'll help you get counseling. I'll even counsel you myself

  624. to help you get out of that situation. Because I

  625. was also in a situation like that. Not the same thing,

  626. but like I said, I also had a challenge with

  627. with with masturbation. And also I also had a challenge

  628. with pornography because when I was very young, When I

  629. was very young, another bishop's son introduced me to pornography,

  630. and I'll never forget the first day they showed me pornography,

  631. I said, hey, what is this? What is this me?

  632. I thought that we are all the same, and the

  633. guy said, no, no, no, no, we are not the same.

  634. Women are different from men. Like her brother was asking,

  635. what is masturbation? Very innocent, I was very innocent, and

  636. they sports the whole thing for me. They sport. They

  637. took my innocence in one day, less than one day.

  638. That time, internet wasn't even working properly, but they still

  639. found a way to take my innocence. Now their Internet

  640. is rampant. I may even head of Internet cafee anymore.

  641. I don't think.

  642. I don't think on our phones now.

  643. Those days we used to have internet cafe, busy Internet.

  644. I used to go to busy Internet to do my

  645. own work. A second, Yeah, it's closed down. It's not anyone. Oh,

  646. I see so so they are very they are they

  647. are very serious things. So please get help. We are

  648. here to help you. Don't feel shy. Get the help Collins.

  649. Please and if if, if it's if you don't want

  650. anybody knowing it is you. You with and then time

  651. Bishop when maybe he's he's not here, maybe you may

  652. feel like coming to see him.

  653. No, not even that a lot of people come and

  654. see me after service, nobody will know that it's you.

  655. Nobody will know that it's you. So I want to

  656. help you. You don't need to tie me when I'm

  657. walking out, or when I sit in my car ah

  658. or you see me standing somewhere. No, a lot of

  659. people come and see me at the service. So unless

  660. I start shouting, nobody will know that it is you.

  661. And when you come to our shout. So now maybe

  662. I'll do No, I'm just I'll do it. So please

  663. feel free. Please feel free.

  664. With the one who send the anonymous message, please kindly

  665. make sure two things that the person needs to go

  666. through deliverance, the personals who needs to go through.

  667. Counseling, publica counseling.

  668. So if you can tell your friend to make time,

  669. I think we can help you reach out to Bishop

  670. in that regard. So Collina, I'm coming to you this

  671. one Bishop has answered it better. I want to read

  672. so that the person who knows that when you send

  673. a message read it that. During the circle time we

  674. were talking about how kissing can lead to sex. So

  675. what if you kiss a person you are about to marry,

  676. or you kiss a person and you don't have sex,

  677. It's like you've kissed the person you didn't have sex,

  678. is it right? Or you kiss the person that you

  679. are going to get married to, is it right? I

  680. think Sham has said that already, so please go ahead.

  681. But one thing I want you to understand is that

  682. we are not saying don't kiss because it will lead

  683. to sex. We are saying don't kiss because it can

  684. lead to sex. Just because you kiss somebody one time

  685. does not mean that it will be sex. It's maybe

  686. the second time or the third time. So we advise

  687. you to stay away from it period. Do you understand

  688. what I'm saying. It's like those of you that work

  689. with the automatic so kata. We don't tell you to

  690. stay away from the blade because it will cut you

  691. to catch you. We tell you to stay away from

  692. the blade because it can catch you and if it

  693. cuts you, you will be severely damaged. So we advise

  694. you to watch the blade and stay away from the blade,

  695. and not to work with the blade when you are

  696. sleepy or you you god forbid, have taken in drink

  697. and you are drunk, because it can cause you to

  698. do something that will permanently damage you. So kissing is

  699. Kissing is not a bad thing in marriage, but before

  700. marriage it's it's It is like starting the car. You

  701. have started the car, the engine is on, all lubricants

  702. in the engine are flowing, and the shock observers and

  703. the pistons are firing on all levels. And then you

  704. say that you say that, no I'm a man. Oh no,

  705. I'm a woman. So no, no, no, no, it doesn't

  706. it doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way.

  707. You are this yourself by the time you realize you've

  708. done an unfortunate thing, and you will feel sad and guilty.

  709. After let's appreciate Bishop. So the Bible said that flee.

  710. So some of the things we don't say. You are

  711. prayer warrior, you prayer, you flee. So please that asexual

  712. immorality more than an issue of uncontrolled sexual desire. Yes,

  713. so it sexual immorality more than an issue of uncontrolled

  714. sexual desire.

  715. Yes it is. Sexual immorality is not just okay, we

  716. are sorry. We are dining with sexual immorality. So yes,

  717. it still is. You're quite good reader.

  718. A question againsexual immorality more are done.

  719. Sexual desire?

  720. Yes? So your your sexual your sexual desire. James answered

  721. the question. I believe that it's it's not more than

  722. That's what I would say. It's not more than because

  723. sexual immorality stems from having sexual desires. So for me,

  724. I think that that is that is it? Sexual immorality

  725. is That is? It is the start.

  726. It's not it's not more than an issue of uncontrolled

  727. It's not more than sexual desire. All right, So please,

  728. we have a number of questions that you have sent

  729. in and because of time, please it's now one o

  730. eight and we've exceeded at time. Like I told you earlier,

  731. we are not in a hurry to finish. We are

  732. going to continue actual immorality next week Sunday, both First

  733. Service and second Service. So please keep the questions coming

  734. and we would make a lot of time to answer

  735. your questions. But before we do that, I think there's

  736. just one more ask. Then, please make sure you have

  737. your offerends entices ready so that you can't you don't go.

  738. Home with it. Thank you very much, Bishop.

  739. Reverends. I just wanted to contribute to the question our

  740. sister asks concerning the impropered dressing. Look seventeen one to four.

  741. Let's read something there. It is that Jesus said, maintain

  742. one to four. He's go ahead, okay, okay. Then he

  743. said to the disciples, it is impossible that no offenses

  744. should come, But then I would love the king James,

  745. King James would.

  746. Be really good. Yeah, okay, and ivy.

  747. Okay.

  748. One day Jesus said to his disciples there will be

  749. always be temptations to sin, But what sorrow awaits the

  750. person who does the temptations tempting. Sorry, it will be

  751. better to be thrown into the sea with milestone hang

  752. around your neck than to cause one to these little

  753. ones to fall into sin, So watch yourselves. If another

  754. believer saints rebuke that person, then if there is repentance,

  755. forgive a man. I believe that this tells us exactly

  756. what it is that we need to look at. Temptations

  757. shall always come, but the Bible for basis it says

  758. we should run, we should flee from it, we should

  759. run away from it. So the moment you start seeing

  760. the thing coming, the best is to run away. It

  761. can be in church. You can have sex in this horle.

  762. It's possible, but the only the only reason why you

  763. can't do it is when you have people around. The

  764. only reason why you can't do it is because there

  765. is somebody that is watching you. So you flee from

  766. environments that would take you, flee from things that will

  767. cause you to do.

  768. Things that are not right.

  769. Amen.

  770. All right, so let's cla for ourselves. Let's appreciate.

  771. Adam said something that I want to add first and foremost,

  772. when nobody is watching you and nobody can see you,

  773. God is watching and God can see you, so never

  774. forget that there's always somebody watching. Amen.

  775. Amen, Please let's appreciate our wonderful panel
