See.
-
Please, you raise your hands and a microphone will come
-
to you.
-
There's one here, all right, Please go ahead, please, I
-
don't understand by mastability, you don't understand wonderful please you
-
see you you see if we're we're at a good dude.
-
If you understand, that doesn't mean he has to understand
-
that he wants depart understanding and clarity. Do you understand
-
that saying so with this one, Bishop will take it
-
up that he had no be sure, will take it
-
that he has an example he used yesterday.
-
He is well invested in the area of oh.
-
The fruitfulness you the masturbation example, the white world. So
-
but this one he wants to know. So unless you
-
er us more m hm, yes, so visual. He wants
-
to understand what masturbation is.
-
So masturbation is when you you sexually pleasure yourself, when
-
you you you you you touch yourself.
-
I think that's a big English too. He can't that's
-
turn he wants some.
-
Like he wants to picture it.
-
Not picture, but as you are explaining, he wants to
-
know it will be if you say to yourself, he
-
can't touch his chest and that's will happen.
-
You understand he can't even touch his ears.
-
So maybe if you tell him when you touch your
-
penis you use either so annoying oil, anything, and you
-
go back and forth for some time and dr plates
-
it want something like that.
-
That's something like that.
-
That's is masturbation. Also, also when I was in when
-
I was in high school, we went from missions in Mexico,
-
and when we were coming back from the missions. I
-
don't know how the conversation started, but I was at
-
the back of the bus and I saw that all
-
my friends had guarded at the front of the bus
-
around a particular appearance. So I went to the front
-
and when I got there, they were talking about masturbation,
-
and the parent was telling us, the students that masturbation
-
is not a bad thing, but what is a bad
-
thing is what you think about. So he was saying
-
that if you masturbate and you think about a woman
-
or a man, it's bad. But if you think about
-
just a white war, it's okay, Yes, let's face the war,
-
or think about a cloud or grips or apple. But
-
if you think about a woman or a man, it's
-
a bad thing, and it's nearly destroyed the whole class
-
as a matter of fact, one of the students got
-
expelled for masturbating in class because the parents said it's
-
not a bad thing, so he had no fear. He
-
had no, he had no and it's really rigged have
-
work in our class now. Masturbating is a bad thing.
-
Whether you are having peer or in peer thoughts, it's
-
it's a bad thing, period, and it's something that you
-
should didn't you shouldn't entertain, or you shouldn't allow to
-
happen or come in your life, because if you allow it,
-
it can mess you up for a very long time.
-
I used to have a problem with masturbation, and it's
-
a friend of mine who taught me, and it became
-
a major problem for me, and our father had to
-
take me through deliverance and also how to teach me
-
how to stop it. And by God's grace, I no
-
longer have that problem. I no longer have I need
-
to understand it now I no longer have that Thank you.
-
Okay, there's a person here. Then after we come to
-
the emerald, iright, been sure? Yes, I would like to
-
know what the Bible mean when it says and her
-
breast was satisfied.
-
So you are referring to yeah, you are referring to
-
songs of Solomon, and that scripture is men specifically, specifically, Ah,
-
let your fountain wife be blessed with the rewards of
-
fidelity and rejoice in the wife of your youth. So
-
that scripture is reserved specifically for married couples, married men,
-
and married women, and so. Verse eighteen talks about who
-
should the brass satisfy a wife to her husband and
-
her husband to a wife, not the other way around. Yeah,
-
not boyfriend, girlfriend and not and not and not beloved.
-
I've explained. No, we are talking about sexual immorality. We
-
are talking about sexual immorality. Next question, Amra, please yes.
-
So somebody wants to know what to do about a
-
situation concerning her friend. So her friend has confided in
-
her about his struggle with sexual immorality, and she's realized
-
that she's unable to advise him for him to change
-
because the more she talks is not doing anything. She
-
wants to confide in somebody older so the person can
-
counsel him. But then if she does that, he's going
-
to lose trust in hair and he doesn't want to
-
talk to somebody older. So what can she do to
-
solve that problem.
-
Thank you.
-
I'm going to let Reverend James and Reverend Francis answer
-
this question. But there's something I want to tell you.
-
When I also had a problem in masturbation and it
-
was time for me to tell somebody, I also said
-
my friend. I didn't say myself. I said my friend
-
has a problem. And the person I told was a prophet,
-
So I told I told the prophet that my friend
-
has a problem. Then he went for about five minutes
-
and came back and he said, the lawd said, it's
-
not your friend, it's you. So please be careful when
-
we are using my friend, my friend, my friend. I
-
know you may be shy, but say that thing, say
-
say that thing. Do you understand when when when you
-
when you say it, When you say it and you
-
confront it boldly and you say the truth first level
-
of solution, and not just that it gives you confidence
-
and authority to fight it. Do you understand it gives
-
you confidence and authority to fight. So I know that
-
in a big gathering like this it might be difficult
-
to say yourself. But after the service, you can meet
-
one of the pastors the reverence. You can even come
-
to me and confide in me and will help you.
-
So over to you ge Latin, thank you the sure.
-
So I believe that it's it's we are not to
-
look good before our friends. Okay, as Christians, I was
-
saying it in the first that we expected to be
-
the certain light. So the first thing is that I
-
want to help a brother or sister. Telling another with
-
the right mind that you want the person to help
-
this brother of yours is the good motive. And even
-
if that friend of yours feels betrayed, don't think about
-
that the person that friend of yours come and thank
-
you so for me still go ahead and talk to
-
anotherly person. And I believe that the elderly person is
-
very mature. You know how to go about it. I've
-
heard a lot of people coming to me to say
-
that Reverend James or Pastor James, my friend is so
-
and so they're doing this. And I don't want to
-
tell anybody because if I tell somebody like they trusted
-
in me and they told me and all the time,
-
there's a way I go about it, they'll get it.
-
We are past us, so definitely when it comes up,
-
we know how to go about it. So don't don't
-
feel betrayed. Don't feel that your friend will feel betrayed
-
that you told an elderly person. You get it, and
-
and I believe that the person will be helped.
-
Thank you. Okay, follow up, there's another question.
-
Actually, so somebody wants to know what to do about
-
several guys telling her that they are all sexually attracted
-
to her. I remember in the first service we mentioned
-
that it's not of yourself. Even if you dress decently,
-
there are still people who have certain ideologies you can't control.
-
But she says, every time she posts a picture of
-
herself or every time they see her, it's not just
-
one person. Several different guys just tell her, oh, I'm
-
sexually attracted to you. She wants to know what to
-
do about it.
-
Please. Is this person married?
-
No, the person is, The person is not married, and
-
the person is she's twenty twenty.
-
Yes, and the person is sexually practicing sexal No.
-
People are telling the person that they are sexually attracted
-
to her.
-
Yes, I understand. I'm asking because you know the person.
-
Yes.
-
Yes, is the person engaging in the activity already?
-
No? Not yet? Wonderful? Oh sorry I said not yet? Sorry,
-
So forgive me. Yeah, it's not not yet. I meant sorry.
-
Oh I think that I would saying something in the
-
first service. No matter how you dress, beautilizing the eyes
-
of the beholder, you can wear for and somebody who
-
still see you and feel attracted to you, you can wear.
-
I mean, you can go and hide in a hole
-
and somebody will still be attracted to you. You ask yourself.
-
They are certain pout that you see. They look very nasty,
-
very dirty, but still they have their love. Once you
-
get it, and it's not bad when people are are
-
sexually attracted to you. But you see what makes it bad.
-
It's when you have that motive of also intentionally enticing
-
them to be sexually attracted to you. It becomes a problem.
-
It's it's that's a very serious thing. So everyeople are
-
coming to you for for example, Have people are fifty
-
years and they see me and they say, Charlie, they
-
love you, they love me? Hello, yes, yes, and I'm
-
being I mean yes yes, not I'm not and not
-
only Ghanna out of Ghanna. Have people don't see me
-
and they look at me.
-
Please take your time and take your time, take your time.
-
Please, you see pastor James or you sure you're able
-
to see however we are, we're able to God is
-
protecting your husband for you. You see, he mentioned that
-
some people are even outside Ghanas and they love him
-
and they are attracted to him. So some of you are
-
thinking like, how is that even possible. In the acts
-
relating to sex, they mentioned that now people have fulm
-
sex and all that that's what the woman wanted to
-
do with pastor James.
-
Do you understand, So.
-
It's like, it's not like you have to be physically
-
present with a person.
-
You can be anywhere and they will track you.
-
So this thing we are doing here is for you
-
to know the dynamics and know how you.
-
Will deal with it. So he's on course.
-
So you have people coming and sexually attracted to you
-
and all of that. The only thing is that if
-
you are doing it on purpose to gain their attention
-
so they'll be sexually attracted to you, that is a problem.
-
But you don't have any bad motive. I mean, you're
-
a dressing or you're having your own dressing, living your life,
-
and people are it will always be there no matter
-
how dirty how ugly you are, you still have people
-
in love with you. Don't forget that people's pets are
-
the chimpanzees. Hello, I should break it down. You see
-
how ugly sheppanzi is. Understand that people have their as
-
their pets. That means that no matter how ugly you are,
-
somebody is still attracted to word to you. You get it.
-
So understanding that way and don't see it that's a
-
bad thing. But when you have the bad motive, a
-
bad motive to entize them, then it becomes something else.
-
And I think that when you have more people coming
-
to you telling you talent, I'm sexually attracted to you. Also,
-
you can prayer about it that God close their eye,
-
close their eyes so that they are not sexually attracted
-
to me. Amen, Marnatha.
-
Okay sometimes.
-
Okay, So can I move on a question? Yes, okay,
-
thank you Bishore. So someone is asking she a friend
-
told her right, that's in a case where in a
-
case where say you have your family has a history
-
of not being able to give birth when when the
-
women get married, right, someone then advised that why don't
-
you give birth before you know married, because that's what
-
that one it happens. But the woman, the woman and
-
that family get married, they're able to give birth. So
-
the advice to the person was engage in pre married
-
to our sex so that you can have your children
-
before you get married.
-
Right, So what would we say to that's wonderful.
-
So in the case where the person is dealing with
-
a generational case where they are fighting the spirit of
-
barrenness and they have been advised to engage in pre
-
marital sex, it is ninety nine point nine percent spiritually
-
and physically proven that if you engage in pre marital sex,
-
you still will not have a child because the problem
-
is the spirit of barrenness. It's not the spirit of
-
barrenness against marriage or the spirit of barrenness before marriage.
-
Is the spirit of barrenness. Now, the easy way to
-
solve a problem, I want all of you to hear me.
-
The easy way to solve a problem when people bring
-
you advice is to compare it to the word of God.
-
What does the Word of God say about this advice
-
that is being brought to me? And the Word of
-
God says that we should not engage in premarital sex
-
because there are all kinds of complications and things that
-
you do. For instance, the child is born out of wedlock.
-
There's a case that goes with that. There they are
-
certain things that hang over the child's life of whatever
-
because they were born out of wedlock. David said, my mother,
-
my mother conceived me in sin. That means he was
-
born out of wedlock. So there are so many cases
-
and problems that go with premit our sex and having children.
-
So the best thing to do is to wait to
-
be married and then try and God can use you.
-
And I'm prophesying to whoever asked that question that God
-
will use you to break that case in your The
-
other thing is that people think that it is.
-
Sexual act that brings children.
-
Children are gifts from God. So if you engage in
-
it thinking that you give Beth, you are having the
-
wrong mind. It is God who give children. If God
-
has not given it to you, don't think that you
-
can work your own way out and habits.
-
Hello Amen, Amen, So to your question earlier on Emerald,
-
so yes. So first, the Salonians of the five verse
-
trainy four the Bible said that abstained from all appearance
-
of evil. It appears sometimes your mind might not even
-
think of it that, but it appears to be that
-
kind abstain. So now everyone would think, oh, you are
-
beautiful this I'm.
-
Abstain and the other when you read.
-
When you read James, I want to pull up that
-
scripture as well so we get better understanding.
-
James.
-
For seven, the Bible said that, so humble yourselves before God.
-
Rasis the devil and he will flee from you if
-
you don't give in. They would know eventually. Go amen,
-
So that will help, Yes, consistency, it breaks resistance.
-
Amen.
-
Yes, there's a question. I'm coming to that, okay, and
-
work past the James said. Please, if you are married,
-
know that God gives children, but you performing your sexual
-
activities is very important.
-
Do it.
-
You can't be lying down with the person and say
-
that God do it and as you are doing it,
-
God will perform the miracle through the activities.
-
Is that okay?
-
So someone can't take a literally that I'm just lying
-
with my wife.
-
God will do it. No, do it? Please? Yes, any
-
time anywhere you are to do it. There's no timeline, okay,
-
So I'm very glad.
-
Then we come to our pastors and bishops HAVERI so
-
this question is very important to me. And my question
-
is our fetishes. When I say fetishes, I mean when
-
I say break it down fetishes. I mean in firsts
-
a head to sacking, hear liaking, so you could stimulate
-
the activity of sex.
-
Okay, So I wanted to ask.
-
The scripture and two if it is done in the
-
confines of marriage. So perhaps you want to have intercourse
-
with your wife and maybe the only maybe one of
-
the ways she gets into the mood is by you
-
maybe fingering hair or tacking hair toes and the other
-
the other things people do. I wanted to know, is
-
it right?
-
And yes? So that's my question.
-
Please is someone answering like no, one wonderful?
-
Please? They have released this question to me.
-
So yes, okay, I think so.
-
My friend.
-
M please are you answering? You are answering the question that.
-
I want to ask.
-
No, we have to help answer.
-
I was just.
-
Okay.
-
So in my class, we're discussing in decent dressing. In
-
the class I was in, we're discussing in decent dressing,
-
we're saying, for instance, showing your stomach, how is it
-
enticing someone like a man showing his chest.
-
Some find it enticing.
-
It may be indecent, but I mean seeing a man's
-
chest maybe for me back in the day was problematic.
-
But maybe it's not problematic. So what what will we
-
say is indecent dressing? We know that it is what
-
will entie someone sexually, that is what is indecent. But
-
we're having a little banter about it, and so we
-
want to get some clarity.
-
To answer the first question. And Reverend quick who is
-
going to take that up. I just want to say
-
that being married does not mean that you are you
-
cannot be sexually a mora. Like for instance, when I
-
was marrying and I was going through counseling, our counselor
-
told us that these are gray acts. When I say
-
gray acts, things you do not practice in your your
-
your marriage sexually, they are gray acts. You don't do them.
-
So just because you are married doesn't mean that you
-
can you can masturbate, or you can do this, or
-
you can do that. It is still sexually i mora.
-
Whether you are practicing it with your wife or not,
-
it's still sexually a mora.
-
Please answer the question, yes, please. I think Bishop mentioned
-
some of them. But in the confines of marriage, if
-
you are asking forcripture, the scripture talks about in our
-
sex that you are, that's not the area God has
-
prescribed for us to have sexual intercourse. So if you
-
are engaging in in our sex, it's not the right way,
-
but people still do it because they are married. If
-
you want people want a scripture to back their fantasis,
-
it's a fantasy. It is something that you have watched
-
and you want to practice if you want to feel
-
okay thinking that if the Bible has said it, then
-
I would do it. With the things that he's mentioning,
-
sacking somebody's tools and some of the things. If I
-
mentioned the people who scream some of the there is
-
why he said fetishes, they are wilder things. People wants
-
to be beating, people want to be handcuffed, do you understand,
-
And people want to do a lot of things to
-
to get to whatever climax they have to get to please.
-
With those things, we cannot give you a verse that
-
will help you to continue doing it. But if you're
-
going to take somebody's daughter that you want to take,
-
or stat that heir through such humiliations and pains that
-
one in the confides of marriage, I think you would
-
you would manage yourself there. But it's not advisable to
-
kill someone in the process of you enjoying yourself. That
-
the scripture speaks about in now that's not the right way,
-
but the other. But they have to understand that the
-
Bible was is that our body is the temple of
-
the Holy Spirit.
-
Do you understand?
-
So what you are doing to the temple, if it
-
is appearing to be evil, abstain please, saying if it's
-
appearing because some of the even styles that you would
-
do at home, those who are even married. Sometimes when
-
you are you want to do it. You look that
-
this one, it's like it's evil. You want to kill
-
somebody's daughter, you want to kill somebody's son.
-
Please abstain.
-
Ray, We cannot give you a vest for your friend
-
to continue. It's not your friend. You're asking for yourself. Okay,
-
Like as you getting married, you there are some stars
-
you want to do. So I think with those things,
-
yeah yeah, so you with Dustin, see me let me
-
show you certain things. Yeah, brief, you are certain things.
-
Just also add to what Reven could be saying, most
-
of these things come about maybe when you engage yourself.
-
Maybe in pornography movies. You see all of these things
-
in them, so it makes it look normal. You know,
-
when you watch pornography movie, all of these things we
-
are talking about. You see them in them, you know,
-
so if you're not careful, it has a way of
-
letting you see. That is okay. But all that they're
-
doing is act good. It's an act, you know, it's
-
an Whatever they're doing there in that pornography movie is
-
an act.
-
I mean, how can they an my human being.
-
Stay on a person for hours?
-
So they're no my human No.
-
What I'm saying is this, no, like you see, people
-
can do two millions fives then that you like, like
-
an hour?
-
No, man, humans have not Please how many of you
-
believe they are there?
-
Now? There?
-
If you have not seen something, yes, it's not, it's not.
-
It's not anyone who on viagra and the rest people
-
are strong. So if you have not met setting you
-
and you are maybe around to five means it's okay.
-
Don't generalize, don't ever looking for but who stay one hour?
-
Like the way I said somebody money? Hey, how does
-
it feel to have somebody like that? Mind from it?
-
Please?
-
When you get married, yeah, find out your husband can
-
see me too. There are ways you can go for
-
more than two minutes or five minutes. There's a question here,
-
and it's very less all pay attention with the person
-
needs real help. Said that, please keep me an animals.
-
So I have a friend who has been suffering from
-
sexual immorality, and she has been ripped three times, but
-
she keeps getting involved with the same people. It's been
-
going on for years. It's been going on for years.
-
She's not getting any better. She also got involved with
-
a girl a year ago. Ever since she hasn't been
-
the same. Now she has stopped, but she still thinks
-
the same. But according to her, she grew up in
-
an environment where she got exposed to it by her
-
father and as a child she thought it was no
-
and has grown up to practice and has grown up
-
to practice. See, she's losing herself day by day and
-
being abusing herself. She needs help and as a friend,
-
this is the best I can do for her. And
-
the exposure said that, I mean by her father bringing
-
in different women.
-
She needs help. Please really? Okay? Sorry? Please?
-
Really?
-
You wanted to ask a question and answer?
-
Oh?
-
Please?
-
Okay okay? And you you're confusing me. Are you asked
-
about the indiscent dressing?
-
Yes? Please? You said that? Is it good? Oh? Sorry?
-
I want you please?
-
So I was asking about I was asking about what
-
what would classify with descent?
-
Yes, because, oh, okay, I think it's very simple. Please
-
pull up the definition for indecent. Oh no, I'm just
-
using it to say something. Please, I'm just you needing
-
to say something. M You see people feel, People feel
-
based on location and environments and things that are timed
-
as indecent. So there's some there are certain things, okay, pleasecribing.
-
Okay, So indecent means not conforming with generally accepted standards
-
of behavior, especially in relation.
-
To sexual matters. Wonderful.
-
So right now, there are some places that I can
-
remove the shirt I'm wearing and it's not being indecent there.
-
And there's some.
-
Places, not even the beach like normal settings, because of
-
how they dress. There are some places in countries. When
-
you visit the place, the rate at which and the
-
things that people wear when you have you are not
-
from that place, it will confuse you. You will think that, hey,
-
why are they dressing this way? But to them it
-
is normal. So when you come to the world's standard,
-
indecent is really classified according to geographic let me say geographically.
-
But when you come to biblically, you have to understand
-
that indecent. It's what is no modesty in your dressing
-
and your presentation. Sometimes you that you the way you've dressed,
-
you know that you are appearing evil to certain people,
-
And I say evil, it's it's you know that as well.
-
You see yourself in the mirror and you say, wow,
-
I'm looking hot. So you have seen yourself before going out,
-
you know. And I thought passages. One other time we
-
came to visit to our paint if you remember, yes,
-
we came to visit to your paint anyway in school
-
and when we're going out that since we're seen before
-
going out, it was.
-
It was like they have not dressed. Do you understand?
-
It's like shot shot shot tight. And I thought passages
-
that I'm not having to paint again. So if you
-
remember those time, we will call you and you will come.
-
I I you have sat. I'm saying to me it
-
is indocent, but to them it's the norma and every
-
day where that biblically, it's not right. It's not modest,
-
it's not covering you. And if it is not covering you,
-
it is not decent. So if you are, you are
-
showing your stomach and your novel and things are appearing,
-
and it's like you know it.
-
Do you understand?
-
And people intentionally, those who pump their breasts, they intentionally
-
hip it and puts on it. And the intentional work
-
can they be set so as you are doing it,
-
and you're doing that like you know it yourself, you
-
get So it's like that and if they want to
-
justify that, it's not right. It's indecent and biblically it
-
is not encouraged. That's why the Bible said that teach
-
the women to dress modestly, say that those who are
-
married teach the younger ones. You understand, So we teach
-
people how to dress modestly even if you are when
-
you are when you get married. There are certain things
-
you wear, and that's sent things you don't wear, the
-
a certain things you wear in the bedroom, the accentings
-
you don't wear in the bedroom. So all these things
-
are done. Please you said yes, so please please do
-
you understand?
-
Yes?
-
So, I don't want to give some of the examples
-
of maybe if you wear this, it's indecent. No, it's
-
generally if as it is, we can't we can't keep it. Please,
-
I heard there is time and the main series they've closed,
-
but it is raining, so we cannot release you now.
-
So let's pick one or two questions then, h yeah,
-
the question I read it will be answered, It will
-
be answered.
-
How does sexual immorality impact individuals mental emotional?
-
If you can, if you can, if you can't speak louder, How.
-
Does sexual immorality impact in the just meant emotional wellbeing?
-
Mental wellbeing?
-
How does sexual immorality impact individuals mental and emotional worldbeing?
-
Okay, please do so.
-
For instance, when I when and what I'm going to
-
say sounds funny, but it's not funny. When I when
-
I was having my problem with masturbation, it affected me
-
so drastically that one day I thought of severing my
-
my organ I thought of severing it because I was like,
-
this thing is not going to stop as long as
-
this thing is there, so let's just remove it and
-
then I'll be free. Thankfully I didn't, But so it
-
really affects people's state up and the first thing that
-
affects you is the guilt. The first thing that affects
-
you is the guilt. Then the second thing that will
-
affect you is the sin, then the condemnation of it.
-
So you condemn yourself for this, and sexual immorality has
-
led to people taking their lives. Sexual immorality has led
-
to people taking their lives. And So to answer your question,
-
can it affect you yes? Does it affect you yes?
-
Will it affect you yes? So the best thing is
-
just to abstain from it and and not get involved
-
in it at all. Yeah, please go and say, I
-
think truthfully, when I was going to marry, you know,
-
I was saying the first service stabited for twelve years,
-
two thousand and two to two thousand and fourteen, before
-
I met the woman I wanted to marry. Now, say,
-
when we're about marrying, the counselor says, you're going to
-
do tests. When we got there, I was afraid. They
-
said we do HIV something something something test, and I
-
told her to do it first because in my mind
-
is it? My mind was not right. In fact, I
-
was very guilty, and I felt that, no, I've contracted
-
one of those you get because apart from you can't
-
you must have better. I feel that that is before
-
I realize you're sleeping with other things. Hello, so that
-
the room is quiet, you'll be sleeping with other things?
-
Is it? The twelve years. I said that are scared.
-
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. So the twelve us.
-
Wonderful.
-
We are brothers in Christ. Yeah, nobody understands.
-
So please. So we have quite a number of questions
-
coming up. Yes, so that we've not answered the first one.
-
So please if we can answer the first one, and
-
please there's another question here. The president said that we
-
said sex it's for married people. What if you are
-
engaged and you're about to get married and you have
-
sex is a right.
-
I'll never forget when I was getting married, my wedding
-
I believe was on a was it on Saturday Friday?
-
It was on a Friday. If somebody's so so shouting Thursday,
-
why are you the one who married? I know who
-
it is? Iad voice. So we had to sign the
-
register before I married because it was a holiday, and
-
on the holiday they don't sign register. So I remember
-
when I signed the register. Then somebody told me that Charlie,
-
now you have the license, so don't wait for tomorrow.
-
Do everything today. And I laughed and in my head
-
I said, no way. Just because you are engaged doesn't
-
mean you can't do what's married people do until you
-
are married before God, don't engage yourselves because you see
-
something you don't understand, something you don't understand, like for me,
-
for me as a pastor like this, I deal with
-
a lot of women. And you see that if my
-
wife was in town, she'll be sitting down in one
-
of the chairs waiting for me to finish what I'm doing.
-
You'll see that you'll give me a very long distance.
-
She won't come close to me and be sitting close
-
trying to pop her ear into what I'm listening to,
-
into what I'm discussing. And one of the reasons why
-
she doesn't do that is because when I was courting
-
her to get married, I never did anything with her.
-
I didn't kiss her, I didn't touch it. The first
-
time I kissed her, it was on on the altar
-
when they said you may now kiss the bride. That
-
is when I kissed my wife for the first time.
-
Do you understand so so so so when you engage
-
in certain things, women are emotional beans. When you engage
-
with in certain things before the right time, you are
-
setting yourself up for failure. Because if you touch her
-
before your wedding and she now sees you with other women,
-
she will start thinking that, ah, what is he doing
-
with those women? Because you didn't you you couldn't abstain
-
and you couldn't hold yourself from doing it with her.
-
What stops you from doing it with other women? And
-
it will cause a very huge problem in your marriage.
-
No trust? No, no, what's the word I'm looking for.
-
I'll live it at trust? No trust? And people have
-
to work back the trust years and years and years
-
and years. And doesn't mean that if if your wife
-
or your husband breaks your trust, you shouldn't work back
-
and trust them again. No, you should. You should. It's
-
a godly thing. Two, it's a godly thing to try
-
and make the homework. If it doesn't work, it's another situation.
-
But it's a godly thing to try and make the homework.
-
So we should strive to try and make our homes work.
-
You understand, okay?
-
So please the first question? Yes, yes. So for the
-
first question, the person needs to be taken through deliverance
-
number one and then number two you need counseling. So
-
it would be very advisable that I know you want
-
to be unanimous. It to be very advisable that after
-
after the service, you come and see me and let
-
me know that I am the one going through this situation.
-
I will help you. I will help you go through prayer,
-
I'll help you get counseling. I'll even counsel you myself
-
to help you get out of that situation. Because I
-
was also in a situation like that. Not the same thing,
-
but like I said, I also had a challenge with
-
with with masturbation. And also I also had a challenge
-
with pornography because when I was very young, When I
-
was very young, another bishop's son introduced me to pornography,
-
and I'll never forget the first day they showed me pornography,
-
I said, hey, what is this? What is this me?
-
I thought that we are all the same, and the
-
guy said, no, no, no, no, we are not the same.
-
Women are different from men. Like her brother was asking,
-
what is masturbation? Very innocent, I was very innocent, and
-
they sports the whole thing for me. They sport. They
-
took my innocence in one day, less than one day.
-
That time, internet wasn't even working properly, but they still
-
found a way to take my innocence. Now their Internet
-
is rampant. I may even head of Internet cafee anymore.
-
I don't think.
-
I don't think on our phones now.
-
Those days we used to have internet cafe, busy Internet.
-
I used to go to busy Internet to do my
-
own work. A second, Yeah, it's closed down. It's not anyone. Oh,
-
I see so so they are very they are they
-
are very serious things. So please get help. We are
-
here to help you. Don't feel shy. Get the help Collins.
-
Please and if if, if it's if you don't want
-
anybody knowing it is you. You with and then time
-
Bishop when maybe he's he's not here, maybe you may
-
feel like coming to see him.
-
No, not even that a lot of people come and
-
see me after service, nobody will know that it's you.
-
Nobody will know that it's you. So I want to
-
help you. You don't need to tie me when I'm
-
walking out, or when I sit in my car ah
-
or you see me standing somewhere. No, a lot of
-
people come and see me at the service. So unless
-
I start shouting, nobody will know that it is you.
-
And when you come to our shout. So now maybe
-
I'll do No, I'm just I'll do it. So please
-
feel free. Please feel free.
-
With the one who send the anonymous message, please kindly
-
make sure two things that the person needs to go
-
through deliverance, the personals who needs to go through.
-
Counseling, publica counseling.
-
So if you can tell your friend to make time,
-
I think we can help you reach out to Bishop
-
in that regard. So Collina, I'm coming to you this
-
one Bishop has answered it better. I want to read
-
so that the person who knows that when you send
-
a message read it that. During the circle time we
-
were talking about how kissing can lead to sex. So
-
what if you kiss a person you are about to marry,
-
or you kiss a person and you don't have sex,
-
It's like you've kissed the person you didn't have sex,
-
is it right? Or you kiss the person that you
-
are going to get married to, is it right? I
-
think Sham has said that already, so please go ahead.
-
But one thing I want you to understand is that
-
we are not saying don't kiss because it will lead
-
to sex. We are saying don't kiss because it can
-
lead to sex. Just because you kiss somebody one time
-
does not mean that it will be sex. It's maybe
-
the second time or the third time. So we advise
-
you to stay away from it period. Do you understand
-
what I'm saying. It's like those of you that work
-
with the automatic so kata. We don't tell you to
-
stay away from the blade because it will cut you
-
to catch you. We tell you to stay away from
-
the blade because it can catch you and if it
-
cuts you, you will be severely damaged. So we advise
-
you to watch the blade and stay away from the blade,
-
and not to work with the blade when you are
-
sleepy or you you god forbid, have taken in drink
-
and you are drunk, because it can cause you to
-
do something that will permanently damage you. So kissing is
-
Kissing is not a bad thing in marriage, but before
-
marriage it's it's It is like starting the car. You
-
have started the car, the engine is on, all lubricants
-
in the engine are flowing, and the shock observers and
-
the pistons are firing on all levels. And then you
-
say that you say that, no I'm a man. Oh no,
-
I'm a woman. So no, no, no, no, it doesn't
-
it doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way.
-
You are this yourself by the time you realize you've
-
done an unfortunate thing, and you will feel sad and guilty.
-
After let's appreciate Bishop. So the Bible said that flee.
-
So some of the things we don't say. You are
-
prayer warrior, you prayer, you flee. So please that asexual
-
immorality more than an issue of uncontrolled sexual desire. Yes,
-
so it sexual immorality more than an issue of uncontrolled
-
sexual desire.
-
Yes it is. Sexual immorality is not just okay, we
-
are sorry. We are dining with sexual immorality. So yes,
-
it still is. You're quite good reader.
-
A question againsexual immorality more are done.
-
Sexual desire?
-
Yes? So your your sexual your sexual desire. James answered
-
the question. I believe that it's it's not more than
-
That's what I would say. It's not more than because
-
sexual immorality stems from having sexual desires. So for me,
-
I think that that is that is it? Sexual immorality
-
is That is? It is the start.
-
It's not it's not more than an issue of uncontrolled
-
It's not more than sexual desire. All right, So please,
-
we have a number of questions that you have sent
-
in and because of time, please it's now one o
-
eight and we've exceeded at time. Like I told you earlier,
-
we are not in a hurry to finish. We are
-
going to continue actual immorality next week Sunday, both First
-
Service and second Service. So please keep the questions coming
-
and we would make a lot of time to answer
-
your questions. But before we do that, I think there's
-
just one more ask. Then, please make sure you have
-
your offerends entices ready so that you can't you don't go.
-
Home with it. Thank you very much, Bishop.
-
Reverends. I just wanted to contribute to the question our
-
sister asks concerning the impropered dressing. Look seventeen one to four.
-
Let's read something there. It is that Jesus said, maintain
-
one to four. He's go ahead, okay, okay. Then he
-
said to the disciples, it is impossible that no offenses
-
should come, But then I would love the king James,
-
King James would.
-
Be really good. Yeah, okay, and ivy.
-
Okay.
-
One day Jesus said to his disciples there will be
-
always be temptations to sin, But what sorrow awaits the
-
person who does the temptations tempting. Sorry, it will be
-
better to be thrown into the sea with milestone hang
-
around your neck than to cause one to these little
-
ones to fall into sin, So watch yourselves. If another
-
believer saints rebuke that person, then if there is repentance,
-
forgive a man. I believe that this tells us exactly
-
what it is that we need to look at. Temptations
-
shall always come, but the Bible for basis it says
-
we should run, we should flee from it, we should
-
run away from it. So the moment you start seeing
-
the thing coming, the best is to run away. It
-
can be in church. You can have sex in this horle.
-
It's possible, but the only the only reason why you
-
can't do it is when you have people around. The
-
only reason why you can't do it is because there
-
is somebody that is watching you. So you flee from
-
environments that would take you, flee from things that will
-
cause you to do.
-
Things that are not right.
-
Amen.
-
All right, so let's cla for ourselves. Let's appreciate.
-
Adam said something that I want to add first and foremost,
-
when nobody is watching you and nobody can see you,
-
God is watching and God can see you, so never
-
forget that there's always somebody watching. Amen.
-
Amen, Please let's appreciate our wonderful panel
