  1. You know when I started forty eight years ago. Bishop

  2. Nyako has been with me for forty eight years. When

  3. I started preaching, I started at the universities and the

  4. secondary schools. I used to go to Acchimota and all

  5. the secondary schools in those days, and we had people

  6. like Bishop Abo died Bis of Dog's with Annaba was

  7. at Presec, Robert and Piakoffi, kuan Chianka, all those guys.

  8. That was when I met them and was able to

  9. impact all of their lives. They are all sixty going.

  10. Steve and Stanley are all sixty They were twins. They

  11. used to come here. Everybody's growing up. And I realized

  12. that I need to come back to all of you.

  13. I need to be back to impact your life because

  14. the future, the future is with you people, not us. Okay,

  15. I have more years than I would live if I

  16. would leave a hundred. I have lived more years than

  17. I have to live. You have more years to live

  18. than us. So my priority is to empower you. My

  19. priority is to give you some keys that will help

  20. you make you better and let the best come out

  21. of you. Amen. It is said that if we have

  22. seen beyond our generation or our time is because we

  23. stood on the shoulders of giants, and that is the

  24. privilege you have, the shoulders of your father and your mother,

  25. the shoulders of us. All is the shoulders of the

  26. giants of your generation. And you don't have to go

  27. through what I went through. To be better than me

  28. or to become like me. All you have to do

  29. is to stand on my shoulders, and you can see

  30. more than I can see it. Are you hearing me?

  31. Just imagine this. Imagine something if you stand on my shoulders.

  32. Do you realize that you can see more than I

  33. see if you stand on my shoulders. Yeah, you can

  34. see what I can see when you stand on my shoulders,

  35. And that is the privilege you have. You don't have

  36. to go through what I went through. You don't have

  37. to stumble and fall to learn. You can take it

  38. from where I am right now and go. It's like

  39. when I pass over there button to you, whatever I

  40. give it to you. At that point, it's your job

  41. to take it from there and to run. You don't

  42. have to go to the beginning. I have brought it

  43. to a point, I hand it over and you run

  44. with it. Amen. So you have a bright future and

  45. a better future, than your father, than your mother, than

  46. all of us. Amen. The other thing I want you

  47. to realize you can say that, Ambishop, I want you

  48. to be able to listen to me very carefully. The

  49. Christian life and work is an overcoming life. Somebody say

  50. overcoming life. It's a life full of overcoming. You have

  51. to overcome, and God has made provision for you and

  52. I to overcome. Tell somebody, God has made provision for

  53. you to overcome. Tell somebody, Yes, it's an overcoming life.

  54. Never forget this. Number two, Write it down. Number two,

  55. anything the Bible tells you to do is for your good.

  56. Is not for the good of your father, your mother,

  57. your pastor, your papa, or your art. Bishop. Whatever God

  58. the Bible tells you to do is for your good. Say,

  59. whatever the Bible tells me to do, it's all my good,

  60. not for the good of my father, my mother, or

  61. my pastor. Is for my good. Then, number three, whatever

  62. the Bible tells you to do is for your good.

  63. You see, when he say don't do it is for

  64. your good. When he said do it is for your good,

  65. It's not for the good of your father or your mother.

  66. And so this thing about disobedience and rebelling against parents,

  67. or church or your pastor because the Bible says you

  68. shouldn't do something, or the Bible says you should do something.

  69. He's a deception and it is self sabotaged and self distracting.

  70. Say self sabotage and self distraction. Whenever you rebel, whenever

  71. you are disobedience against your father and your mother because

  72. you disagree with what God is saying or what the

  73. Bible says, you are self sabotaging and self distracted, because

  74. it is always about your good. Now, let me ask

  75. you something logically, as a logician, think true, when you

  76. plant a seed in the ground, who benefits the one

  77. that plants the seed or the ground? Who benefits when

  78. you sew a seed. So when you plant a seed

  79. or you give, you are not doing the ground a

  80. fevor you are doing yourself a favor. So when the

  81. Bible say gift, and it shall be given, and press

  82. down good measure, shaking together running over, shall men give

  83. to your bosom, not give to the ground, but give

  84. to you. So when the Bible talks about giving, is

  85. for your good. So make no mistake and let no

  86. body deceive you When the Bible talks about giving, it's

  87. for your own good. If you don't give, you never read.

  88. You can love God and have faith. But if you

  89. are not a giver, you will end up in life struggling.

  90. But if you're a giver, you always have a habits.

  91. Givers always have a hast. If it's time for sawing,

  92. and you're a child of God, you love God. Jesus

  93. appears to you every morning and in the nineties has

  94. dinner with you before you go to bed. But you

  95. don't sow. At the time of sowing, the Bible says,

  96. as the earth remains see time and harvest time shall

  97. never cease Genesis eight, I believe twenty two. And so

  98. if you are not a sower, when it's time to

  99. read an ats somebody who doesn't believe in God, who

  100. doesn't believe in the Bible, If that person souls at

  101. the time of has, they will have a hast. You

  102. would that be in God? You won't have a hass

  103. Why because you didn't soul? Why there are rules of engagement? Right?

  104. Rules of engagement? Do you know that when the sun appears,

  105. it appears to the good and the bad. When it rains,

  106. the rain doesn't know that this ground, the seed that

  107. is in the ground was sown by an eight years.

  108. The rain will fall on the seed of an athiars

  109. and the seed of the believer. So if you're a

  110. child of God and you believe in God and you

  111. don't sow, you never have a hast And there are

  112. a lot of believers in the church. They don't sow,

  113. they are not givers, and they want a harvest. You

  114. never have it. God is a just God, So an

  115. unbelieverd that souls will get the havest. I know a

  116. lot of Jewish friends of mine, and I know a

  117. lot of Muslim friends of mine who are heavily blessed

  118. and rich because they are givers. So they might not

  119. believe in your Jesus or in my Jesus, but they

  120. get to have us because they are givers. They are

  121. saw us the soul. And I'm not believers who don't show,

  122. and they are broke. Because the principle works for everybody.

  123. It works for every we call it rules of engagement.

  124. It works for everybody. So learn to be a giver

  125. in this life. If you're a giver, you never go wrong.

  126. You will always have If you're a giver. Today, I

  127. want to talk to you on what I call the

  128. works of the flesh. The works of the flesh qualification

  129. for heaven. How many of you want to go to heaven?

  130. Come on, show me behind you want to go to heaven?

  131. How many of you want to live long? Show by

  132. hand you want to live long? You want to go

  133. to heaven? Let me give you some keys in life,

  134. and everything is about keys and light. When you go

  135. to the car pack and somebody takes your car key

  136. and starts your car, your car will not say to

  137. the person thief, Julo, hewie. It will say that the

  138. car will respond to the key. Why it is designed

  139. to respond to the key and not the owner. So

  140. that even though I don't own your car, if I

  141. get hold of your key and I go to the

  142. car pack, I can't start your car, and I can't

  143. take your car anywhere I want to until the police arrestes.

  144. I can't use your car because the car is designed

  145. to respond to a key. And there are keys in life.

  146. Life is full of keys. There was a professor in

  147. harber He went home. He stood behind his door. He

  148. was searching for his key. He couldn't find it, and

  149. the lady. He saw him standing behind his own door

  150. trying to open the door by force and call the police.

  151. And the police came and arrested him behind his own door,

  152. and he said, it is my house. I can't find

  153. my key, and the police said, give us a proof,

  154. so proof that this is your house. And every proof

  155. he had was inside the house. So they took him

  156. to the POLICEAI, and they had to get neighbors and

  157. people who knew him to come and ascertain that this

  158. is the man's house, and they have to break into

  159. and for him to bring his ideas and things to

  160. prove to the police that it was his house. Arrested

  161. in your own house? Why because he didn't have a key.

  162. Do you know that in this life and when you

  163. don't have a ky, you beg and you always knock.

  164. But when you have a key, you don't knock. You open.

  165. I prayed that you have keys in life, that in

  166. your life you will never knock and beg, that you

  167. you will always have a key to open. See now,

  168. Jesus said to Peter, I behold, I give on to

  169. you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And he said,

  170. you can find and lose buy the key's keys stands

  171. for access, say access, say opportunities, say openings. It's very

  172. important keep it in mind. Never forget. Say keys stands

  173. for access and openings. And then it also stands for authority,

  174. say authority. I pray that you will have access in life,

  175. that you have authority in life, that you will not

  176. struggle in life, that you will live life with is

  177. is because you have keys. Now let's look at some scriptures.

  178. I look at the amplified translation. I need James aism

  179. of you to help me get a microphone quickly, quickly.

  180. Let's look at Philippians chapter two, verse twelve. Philippians chapter two,

  181. verse twelve. Yeah, amplified. Moreover, might be loved as you

  182. have always obeyed Philippians, chapter two, vers twelve. So then

  183. might be loved, my dear ones, just as you have

  184. always obeyed my instructions with enthusiasm, not only in my presence.

  185. But now match be'st th eighteen.

  186. For it is not your strength, but it is God

  187. who is effectively at work in you. But to will

  188. and to work that is strengthening and agizing and creating

  189. in you. The long game and the ability to fulfill

  190. your purpose is that Philippians.

  191. Yes, Philippians to twelve.

  192. To twelve year Okay, I don't like this translation, ricking James.

  193. Let me see what King James is.

  194. He jaos Wherefore mine beloved, as he have always obeyed,

  195. not as in my presence only, but now much more

  196. in my essence. Wet out your own salvation with fear

  197. and trembling, so say your own say. Salvation is an

  198. individual matter. You know, when I got born again, my

  199. dad was an Anglican, and when I got born again,

  200. I started going to the church Appentacus and my dad

  201. didn't understand charismatic appenticlesus in those days, so he had

  202. serious issues with me going to the church.

  203. I was going. He said all kinds of things. One

  204. of his challenges was tongues. He had problems with this,

  205. speaking in tongues that I'll come. When I was speaking

  206. tongues and saying, what is all these foolishness you were doing?

  207. He didn't understand. He had zerious issues. He said things.

  208. But I stood my ground and I knew that salvation

  209. was an individual matter. And when it comes to my salvation,

  210. I respect him as my dad. I will honor him.

  211. I would never disrespect him, because there's a blessing that

  212. comes with honoring your father and your matter. So I

  213. made up my man. I will never dishonor disrespect my father,

  214. but when it comes to the matters of my salvation,

  215. I have to take personal responsibility, and I had to

  216. try to explain to him with all respect that Dad,

  217. when it comes to the issues of my salvation, I'm

  218. dealing with God and Jesus on this matter, and you

  219. are my dad. I will not argue with you, but

  220. I want you also to respect my decision because when

  221. I was living a crazy life out there, fooling around

  222. in town and doing all the things that I was

  223. doing that you weren't happy with. You know, there was

  224. one thing you could do about it until God stepped

  225. in saved me and change my life. So allow me

  226. to have this experience for myself. So when it comes

  227. to salvation, you have to understand that it's about you

  228. and not about anybody but you. Imen. Now let's begin

  229. our journey Galicians Galicians chapter five, verse nineteen to twenty one.

  230. Let's look at the amplified Galicians chapter number five nineteen

  231. to twenty one. These are some of the challenges that

  232. will confront you in life, at school, at home, in town,

  233. at the marketplace, wherever you go, secondary school, university, wherever

  234. you go in life, you will face these things I'm

  235. about to talk to you about. And these are things

  236. you must be willing and ready to conquer and overcome

  237. because you'll face it.

  238. Go ahead, now, the practices of the sainful nature are

  239. clearly evident.

  240. Clearly evidence number one.

  241. They are sexual immorality.

  242. Sexual immorality and its rampant is everywhere today. You go

  243. on social media and you see all kinds of crazy stuff.

  244. It's everywhere. And you must know that these things, if

  245. you practice them, you will not go to heaven. And

  246. God doesn't or as an apology, He just tells her.

  247. You know, the other day I went to pray with

  248. some guys and the sweat, the old door of the

  249. sweat was so strong that I couldn't get close to them,

  250. so I have to sit somewhere far away from them,

  251. because I couldn't breathe. When I went among them, the

  252. old door was unbearable. And you know what I told them,

  253. I said, you see, this thing that we are dealing

  254. with is like singing. When you are singing, you are insin.

  255. God can relate to you. Even though he loves you,

  256. He operates fire away from you. That's why, for the

  257. first time in history, when Jesus took our sins upon

  258. himself on the cross, God separated himself from Jesus, and

  259. Jesus cried and said, Eli Eli la mah sabatani, My God,

  260. my God, why have that forsaken me? It wasn't that

  261. God forsook him. But God can stand sin. God can

  262. deal with sin. So God literally had to separate himself

  263. from himself because your sins and my sins was on him.

  264. So sin, sin gives demons a legal right. It gives

  265. the devil a legal right to touch you. The Bible said,

  266. he that is born of God keep it himself, and

  267. the wicked one cannot touch him. He can't. And the

  268. Bible said, he that breaks the hedge of protection, a

  269. snake will bite you. If you are going to better

  270. you leave your door open. Anything can enter because you

  271. left the door open. Saying opens you up to the

  272. devil and to demons, to torture, to harassed, to torment, nightmare,

  273. all kinds of things. That is what saying does go ahead,

  274. Please said I'm go ahead. Impurity impurities. I would leave

  275. it for bishop and your pastors to break them down

  276. for you about what impurity is. You know, masturbation. There

  277. are all kinds of things on the internet where people

  278. who show naked bodies, naked these naked all kinds of

  279. crazy stuff on the internet. You need to stay away

  280. from those things because you see, as you give attention

  281. to any of those things, it will give you direction.

  282. Whatever you pay attention or give attention to determines your direction.

  283. Write it down, say, whatever you give attention to determines

  284. your direction. It to begin to direct you and guide you.

  285. Don't be too inquisitive to dig into things. I was

  286. looking at something for a project that I was doing.

  287. As soon as I was as soon as I started

  288. looking at the things I wanted them, Pam a naked

  289. woman just appearing and knocked it off. Immediately. I just

  290. cut it off a minute. I just cut it off,

  291. and I told the architect, you know something, you take

  292. care of this thing. I don't want to do it.

  293. And immediately I brought that in off my phone. Because

  294. that is how you gets. Your inquisity sets in. You

  295. want to look and by the time you look, you

  296. are in and in, and you are carried by the

  297. wind the carriage, and every now and then you are

  298. going there to look at hims you shouldn't be looking at.

  299. You must guide your eye, gate, tell somebody guide your eye. Geate,

  300. protect protect your eye, geate, go ahead, go ahead. Sensuality,

  301. irresponsibility to irresponsibility. You don't care, but you must care

  302. because in life right, there are consequences, consequences of good

  303. and bad decision. Every decision we're taking life, good or bad,

  304. there are consequences. Go ahead.

  305. Lack of self control, idolatry, saucery, hostility, strike, jealousy.

  306. Jealousy, hostility, strive, jealousy, Strive you you life fighting. You

  307. are always correling and fighting with somebody. Strive. Where there

  308. is strife, there is every evil way. So watch it.

  309. Go ahead. Fits of anger anger. When you are angry,

  310. nobody can come through you. You say anything because you

  311. are angry, but you see the things you say when

  312. you are angry, you can you can't take it back.

  313. So when you are angry, don't see anything, write it,

  314. write it down and tell somebody when you are angry,

  315. and don't talk. Yeah, because anytime you are angry you

  316. sin because anger leads to violence, and violence leads to meta.

  317. So when you are angry, don't talk. Just be quiet.

  318. It's important let your anger come down before you talk,

  319. because when you are angry, write down. When you are angry,

  320. you don't think, you tell somebody. When you are angry,

  321. you don't think. You don't think. When you are angry,

  322. you talk anyway anyhow, Go ahead, dismutes, dispute arguments. You

  323. like arguing, You will argue over everything to prove your

  324. point is unnecessary hys dissensions, factions.

  325. That promotes herissies.

  326. Every you see, what we need to do is we

  327. will break it down during the weekday and Sunday will

  328. have sections. Will break it down wet after Wed. After Wed,

  329. we look at it from different concord dances and different

  330. translations to break it down. And you when you go

  331. home also take your time, steadied, wet afterword find out

  332. what it means. Because the Bible says my people are

  333. destroyed for lack of knowledge, and the lack of knowledge

  334. is destruction. Yeah, maintenance of ignorance is the advantage of

  335. Satan over you. When you are ignorant about something, it

  336. gives satan an advantage. The Bible says, we are not

  337. ignorant of his devices. Let's he gains advantage of ass

  338. So it's very very important for you to know these things.

  339. You can work in this life and be ignorant. You

  340. can work in darkness. When you walk in darkness, you

  341. will fall, you'll stumble, you'll sleep. Anything can happen to you.

  342. And ignorance is darkness. You can't work in the dark.

  343. You must have light. The Bible said that where this

  344. is a lamp to my feet and a light to

  345. my path, go ahead quickly.

  346. Drunkenness, h.

  347. Rautos behavior and other things like this. I warn you beforehand,

  348. just as I did previously, that those who practice sad

  349. things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

  350. You see, you're not enter the kingdom, you'll not inherit

  351. the kingdom. And a lot of people think that. Or

  352. when you go to church and you claim you're a Christian,

  353. or you're born in a Christian and going to heaven,

  354. it's autumatic, it's not automatic. Your name can be removed

  355. from the Book of Life. Yeah, God said, if you

  356. don't overcome these things, I will take your name out

  357. of the Book of Life. And it's not just about

  358. being forgiven. God will forgive you, but most times you

  359. will end up facing the consequence of your action. Let

  360. me explain this to you. You're gonna have sex with

  361. a woman. Then you come to confess, you are forgiven.

  362. Because you confess three four months after the woman or

  363. the lady comes and say, I lost my period and

  364. I am pregnant. I'm pregnant. You are forgiven badly's pregnant?

  365. What is the pregnancy? The consequence of your action? So

  366. you read what you saw, so you saw the seed.

  367. God has forgiven you, but the consequence of your action

  368. is not facing you. So it's not about forgiveness. As

  369. for giveness, God is merciful. He will forgive you, but

  370. al about the consequence of your action. How about what

  371. you did? So God has forgiven you. But the sister

  372. is pregnant and she's going to school. You through you

  373. are in school, and you said don't tell anybody. And

  374. there are people who go and commit abortion and they

  375. die and abortion is meta, so you can't commit abortion.

  376. She has to deliver. That means he can't go to

  377. school and everybody will get to know about it, and

  378. you have to face it all because you wanted to

  379. release yourself. And it's just a few seconds, though their

  380. release is not even three minutes. Yeah, it's not even

  381. three minutes. Their release is very short. And then you

  382. brought balloom, then paw it baths and you are finished.

  383. And in few mens, she is pregnant. I'm pregnant. What

  384. are you going to do about the pregnancy God has

  385. forgiving you? But she's pregnant. That is the consequence of

  386. your actions. So if you're not ready for something, you

  387. don't do it. And for your sisters, you must tell

  388. their brothers that you can't drive this car unless you

  389. have a license. You must qualify. You have to wake

  390. and get a license. This car is not to be

  391. driven just like that. Are you hearing me? You have

  392. to you have to be smart. Okay, let me show

  393. you first Korencians chapter six, verse nine to ten. First

  394. rit Chians chapter six, verse nine to ten. Mm hm, yes, okays, no,

  395. you're not that there. They're alright, go to amplify.

  396. Do you not know that? They?

  397. Alright?

  398. Yours will not inherit or have any share in the

  399. kingdom of God.

  400. You see again, look at you too, and you see

  401. you must be told these things because your generation and

  402. he's facing some temptations and tryouts. Our generation didn't face

  403. your generation. You be in your bedroom and they are

  404. sending you strange things. You are sleeping, snoring, and dreaming,

  405. and you hear your phone popo. You pick up your

  410. before you turn it. Looks yeah. Spells say spells. Yeah,

  411. they're casting spells at you to catch you and to

  412. seduce you. Say seducing spirits say bewitchments. The Bible says

  413. who bewitched you? Not to pay the truth. So whenever

  414. you find yourself liking something, doing something you know is wrong,

  415. you are being bewitched. You are under a spell saying

  421. down for two minutes. Go ahead.

  422. Do not be deceived neither sexually I mora, nor idolaties,

  423. nor idolaters, nor infeminis by perversion, nor go who are participate,

  424. who participates in homo sexuality, nor seacht is.

  425. Out Did I say that? Who is saying that? The Bible?

  426. So it's the Bible. Don't go someone and say, Papa said,

  427. I didn't see anything. The Bible said it. You have

  428. a problem to do with the Bible. I'm just quoting

  429. what the Bible says. Money my own business. I have

  430. no say in the matter by what the bagles is.

  431. My argument is what the Bible says. Amen, diz's my story. Yeah,

  432. he's he's my song, pray sing my say heavyhe on,

  433. Well these it's my Yeah, it's my mind. Okay, look

  434. at it now, Go ahead.

  435. Nor thieves, nor the greedy, greedy, dunkers, drunkards, no regireless

  436. whose words are used as weapons to abuse, insult, humiliates,

  437. in immediates or slander, no swindless who inherit or have

  438. any share in the Kingdom of God.

  439. Is what you need to do after land today and

  440. take your time and get all that translations, sit down,

  441. take wed after wed, analyze it. It will help you

  442. so that in your journey in life, it doesn't matter

  443. where you are, you'll always be hand other comer, because

  444. when these things confront you or come your way, you

  445. know how to conquer them. If you don't know this thing,

  446. and you're a young man or a young girl growing up,

  447. you can you can fall, you can stumble, you can't sleep,

  448. you can be a victim. But when you have understanding

  449. and knowledge of these things, you can avoid them. It's

  450. like portholes where you are driving in a particular road

  451. and you haven't driven through that road before, and there

  452. are portholes you can fall into pottom, pound, pan pampang.

  453. But if you are dealing with somebody, a driver who

  454. has driven through that road before, when they get close

  455. to the porthole, they slow down and they take their time.

  456. Why they've been through that path before. What the Bible

  457. does is to give you advanced knowledge. Somebody say, advance knowledge.

  458. Advanced knowledge comes this way. The Bible guides you to

  459. avoid the portholes in life, because in life there are portholes,

  460. there are zeros, portholes, and if you lack knowledge you

  461. can fall into serious patrols and most of the people.

  462. That's why I mean I don't condemn people and I

  463. don't judge people, because a lot of things people do

  464. is ignorance. If they know better, they will do it.

  465. But it's ignorance that causes people to stumble in life,

  466. and it is after there are things that today they

  467. don't entice me. I'm not impressed by so many things,

  468. but like five years, ten years ago, there are invitations

  469. and things that impresses me. There are things that five

  470. ten years ago I tell I will be testifying, letting

  471. people know that are very important to me. Right now

  472. doesn't mean anything to me at all. I see breakthroughs,

  473. I see testimonies, deliverance. God does things and I don't

  474. talk about it. You know what I don't talk about

  475. because there was a time when if you watch Esus,

  476. whenever he heals people, he would say go home, don't

  477. tell anybody. He doesn't take credit for things. There was

  478. a time where I'm ministering, like yesterday Saturday, I was

  479. ministering here and there was a Zerrus manifestation of her sister.

  480. She was standing here, pouncy fault. She started manifestation. She started,

  481. manuf I didn't see anything. I just went ahead with

  482. my preaching. Before I would just talk and I said, carrier, carrier,

  483. bring her, bring he bring he tell you that I

  484. want to show that. Yeah, me to I D I'm

  485. very powerful. I stopped those foolish things. That is canality.

  486. What are you trying to prove? Yeah, and that our

  487. preachers today they want to show the talent. They are

  488. very annointed, they are seventies is powerful. The fire, the fire.

  489. I don't do all those things. I'm maturing. I'm getting better.

  490. Are you hearing me? I have gained knowledge. I'm gaining mastering.

  491. Everybody saying mastering, Say, life is about mastering. That's what

  492. life is all about. It's about mastering. If you have knowledge,

  493. you have what we call advanced knowledge. You learn mastering

  494. in life. I had an invitation recently to go to

  495. a particular nation, an African nation, to speak at their president.

  496. You'll breakfast before. Oh, I would have admitted. They said,

  497. I will send you first classic, you'll put you in best,

  498. will give you a love before. Immediately, I'll be excited,

  499. letting everybody know. I didn't go. I wrote back and

  500. I said I'm sorry, thanks for the honor, but there's

  501. a conflict with my schedule. I couldn't make it. I've

  502. had invitations to go to the White House several times,

  503. apart from a few times that I've been and attend it.

  504. Then and I tell my White baby, I think you

  505. should go. He said, but you have to honor the

  506. invitation of the President. And I said, no, no, I understand

  507. that's the President of the United States, but you represent me.

  508. I need to honor my invitation and my work of

  509. the King of Kings and the Lord of lords. Amen

  510. Sidan for two minutes, but before I used to get

  511. excited up. A lot of things that are so in

  512. this ministry. We have we have a bishop responsible for

  513. governmental issues and affairs, and he deals with protocols and

  514. with foreign ambassadors and foreign countries and nations and this.

  515. We have a bishop for that. Because I have a

  516. lot of invitations, as I'm spaying a lot of on

  517. my table, and I say, you go represent me. You go.

  518. He comes by. Last week, Bishop Isando, Bishop Suzannity represented

  519. me in some very very high profile meetings that I

  520. couldn't I couldn't go. And they have to attend before

  521. I was everywhere. Everything invites me. I go big and

  522. small just to be relevant. I don't need relevance anymore.

  523. I don't need to trend. I tell you all this trending.

  524. Trend in, trend in, trending. Be careful. I don't like.

  525. I don't want to be trending. Peo, put the Papa.

  526. If you do this, you would train you are trending.

  527. Two years ago, my social media views was one hundred

  528. and twenty million. I wasn't excited about it. This is

  529. the first time I'm telling you. They told me I

  530. didn't even know, and I said, fine, Praise the Lord.

  531. I just moved on. Who cares of one hundred and

  532. twenty million. There's a whole lot to be done before

  533. Jesus comes and you hear me. Somebody talking to you

  534. is very important to me, the onundred and twenty million people,

  535. you know how, because you are the future leaders. Played

  536. that tape. Play the tip about Bishop doc. I want

  537. you to hear something. See down for a minute. I

  538. want you to hear something. Listen.

  539. Associated with the archbishop, or Papa as we call him.

  540. Since nineteen seventy nine when.

  541. I was.

  542. I was in from four I believed secondary school, and

  543. somebody brought me on a Saturday to the International Student's Hostel,

  544. which I believe is now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

  545. but it was like some kind of a hostel there,

  546. and they said that there was a pastor who had

  547. come from Nigeria. He was doing some kind of revival.

  548. So a sister in Actimotor School organized myself and some

  549. others and brought us on a Saturday. So I was

  550. attending there on Saturdays for some time. At that time

  551. there was no action, had not started Sunday service, and

  552. I had just received the Holy Spirit, so I was

  553. newly speaking in tongues. But I doubted, I was doubted.

  554. I was having all sorts of doubts. So that was

  555. my first interaction. I went up to the archbishop. He

  556. was then Brother Nick, and I said to him that

  557. I am having doubts about the tongues. So he just

  558. put his hand on my head and drove away the

  559. doubts from my head with a powerful prayer. And from

  560. that and from that moment, I was no longer doubting.

  561. The tanks that I was speaking.

  562. And I have been continuously and uninterruptedly connected to the

  563. Archbishop I was saying yesterday that we cannot imagine Ghana

  564. or even the wealth that we are in without him.

  565. So I just wanted you to hear this because this

  566. was when he was in secondary school from four from

  567. fur that time, Bishop about I was also there at

  568. the same school the World in Achimota. He was in

  569. from four when he used to come to my program,

  570. and he and I have related for forty five years.

  571. We've been talking for forty five years. Yesterday we talked twice.

  572. Sometimes we talked two three times. We've been talking for

  573. forty five years. And I started dealing with him when

  574. he was in Actimota school at Firm four. He was

  575. the first person who paid tie to me because all

  576. my congregation were students. They didn't have money. And one

  577. day he brought me his tithe and I said what

  578. is this? He said, it's my tith and I said,

  579. by you, where do you have money? So my parents

  580. gives me money. So he started practicing it, practicing it

  581. like the Jewish people, and he said, the Lord said,

  582. if I want to succeed the ministry as to honor you,

  583. that's it. And some of you are in from four

  584. from two Firm three firm one from six whatever. But

  585. I'm telling you you're an university. I'm telling you that

  586. this gospel we are talking about SoC today. Beau of Dad.

  587. He has churches than every church apart from church or Prientacles.

  588. He has churches than any church in Ghana. He has

  589. over ten thousand churches, over a thousand catail drives all

  590. over the world. He played my first red organ for me.

  591. He used to play my organ. When I'm preaching in

  592. those days, turn to somebody and say, you don't know

  593. who I am. You don't know who I am? Tells

  594. them what you don't know who you're sitting next to.

  595. Tell them you are sitting next to greatness that you

  596. are not aware of. You know why the babus say eyes,

  597. I'm not saying nor ear has heard, neither has entered

  598. the hearts of men what God has planned for those

  599. who love him. How many of you love God? Come on,

  600. show me a wave of friend. I know you love God.

  601. That's why you are here. Yeah, you may have some

  602. doubts and confusion about the things of God, but I

  603. know you love God. And when the bables say eyes

  604. have not seen, what it means is that word God

  605. has planned for you has never happened before your family.

  606. That means that God is about to use you to

  607. make a statement and do something that would blow the

  608. mind of your family and your generation. Tell somebody I

  609. am a game changer. I'm a game changer. Tell somebody

  610. I'm a case breaker. That is who you are. You

  611. are a case breaker. You are a game changer. God

  612. is going to make a distinction between you, your siblings

  613. and addrests. You'll be outstanding in life. You watching, it's

  614. just a matter of time. Sit down for two minutes. Yeah,

  615. it's just a matter of time. It doesn't matter how

  616. you see yourself. If you have an idea of what

  617. you becoming the next five to ten years, it to

  618. blow your mind one day. One day revenue issould another.

  619. He used to stay in my house with me at

  620. so One day he was leaving for Bolligar and he

  621. was walking into his car. I was standing at the

  622. top there. Then suddenly I saw books in his stomach, books,

  623. a lot of books. So I said, is would stop.

  624. Then he turns, said Papa, what is it? I said,

  625. start writing? And he said start doing what me write?

  626. What I said that our books inside of you. He said, Papa, Papa,

  627. don't do that to me. Now you know me. I'm

  628. from the North and my father never wrote the book.

  629. Nobody has written a book in my family. And you

  630. are tempting me as you write the book, Papa, I said,

  631. stop arging with me, start writing. Eastwood has been writing

  632. from that time up to now. He can't stop writing.

  633. Si down, He's been writing up to now. He can't

  634. stop writing. He has written more books than me. Beshop

  635. that has written more books than me. And I'm their

  636. father who cares. Jesus said, great that word, you shall

  637. do than me. A good father wants his children to

  638. be better than him. Besore Joel preached seteen seven some

  639. time ago, and I preached that scliptop before he took

  640. it from an angle. I never saw it before, and

  641. I said, hey, you, how did you see this thing?

  642. Because I didn't see it. And I realized that as

  643. we impact our children and the next generation, they will

  644. see things we don't see. Yeah, they're not things we

  645. don't know, I'm telling him, but they have to be

  646. better than us. I preached that scipture for years. I

  647. never saw it, and when he finished preaching, I said, hey,

  648. how did you know this day? I never saw this thing, Yeah,

  649. saying petition, Elisha did more than Elijah. Joshua did more

  650. than Moses. Yet the Bible says that Joshua had wish

  651. because Moses laid hands upon him. He was full of wisdom.

  652. Why because Moses laid hands upon him. But he did

  653. more than Moses could do. Elijah perform fourteen miracles, his

  654. father performed seven. I expect you to do more than I,

  655. and you will do more than me. You will accomplish

  656. more than your father, your mother. You will be better

  657. than your parents. That is the will of God for

  658. your life. That is God's plan for your life. Say

  659. down for two minutes now. If you have committed saints,

  660. if you have violated any of these rules and principles,

  661. forgiveness is available. You are forgiven. The blood can cover

  662. you and even the consequences. But from now going be released,

  663. and don't go back to your vomits. Don't be like

  664. a dog. Don't go back to your vomit. Whatever you've

  665. been doing that you see in these points I've raised, disengaged.

  666. Tell somebody disengage, Yeah, disengage, stop it. Tell somebody stop it,

  667. stop it. Tell somebody. You can't stop it. What makes

  668. it the problem is after the truth has been presented

  669. to you and you still continue to do the same thing.

  670. That's what the problem is. So that is rebellion and

  671. stubbornness is the sin of witch craft. Let me give

  672. you my last scripture, Revelation three five. Revelation three five,

  673. look at it. Revelation three five.

  674. He overcomes the world through believing that Jesus is the

  675. Son of God, will accordingly be dressed in white clothing,

  676. in white clothing, and I will never blot out his

  677. name from the book of Life.

  678. You see, he said, your name will never be plot

  679. out or taken out of the Book of Life. He said,

  680. I want do it, which means that your name can

  681. be removed from the Book of Life if you continue

  682. to practice this thing after you've been told, after the

  683. truth has come to you, and you continue in them

  684. and you don't care. You just go on. Some of you,

  685. maybe you've been masturbating, or you've been doing some things.

  686. You know what I'm saying. Turn to somebody, say have

  687. you been doing some things? Yeah? Every one of you

  688. are looking at me some way. Look at the way

  689. you're looking at me. Some way. Some of you are

  690. know if you're looking at me, because you know that

  691. you are doing some secret things, tell to somebody and

  692. say stop it. Tell somebody disengaged, so that your name

  693. is not removed from the Book of Life. Jesus said,

  694. He said, I will I will not blot I will

  695. never blot out your name from the Book of Life.

  696. Go ahead, and I will confess and openly acknowledge it's

  697. name before my father and before his angels, say that

  698. he is one of.

  699. Mine, you said, Jesus said, if you overcome these things,

  700. I will confess you before my father. I'm the angels.

  701. I will tell my father this one is my son,

  702. he's my daughter, He's one of my own. I will

  703. never renounce you or reject you. Yeah. Sometimes, Bishop and

  704. some of my children will bring some people to me

  705. and say, Papa, this one is a very good person.

  706. This one is this, this one is that. Because they

  707. are my children. I'm talking about biological and spiritu our children,

  708. and I know them. I accept those people based on

  709. their recommendation. Jesus said, if you overcome these things, I

  710. will recommend you to my father, and I will recommend

  711. you to the angels and anytime you pray, I say, Father,

  712. that is one of my own. Answer them. Anytime you

  713. cry out, I'll say angels, go quickly help and assist them.

  714. They're one of my own. Please start all your it.

  715. What we are going to do from now is to

  716. break it all down, word after word, explaining what every

  717. word means, so that you are not working in ignorance,

  718. but you are working with advanced knowledge. Tell somebody the

  719. Bible is advanced knowledge. It gives you advance knowledge to

  720. work sircumspectively, to walk up rightly and not ignorant or

  721. not ignorantly, and that you don't stumble, and you don't

  722. work fully sially, but you walk up rightly by heads.

  723. If you are here today and you are not sure

  724. that your name is written in the Book of Life,

  725. you are not sure about your salvation. You are struggling

  726. with your salvation. Maybe you come to check because your

  727. parents brought you, but you yourself, if you had your way,

  728. you even come to check. You read the Bible because

  729. it's mandating.

  730. In your house.

  731. But you are struggling. You need clarity, you need life,

  732. You need understanding. I want to pray for you right

  733. now with every heads back every eyes closed. Lift up

  734. your hands. If you say, Papa, I'm not sure about

  735. my salvation. I'm not sure I'm saved. I'm not sure

  736. my name is written in the Book of Life. You

  737. can raise your hands. Let me pray for you. Anybody here,

  738. anybody here, I'm not sure I'm born again. I'm not

  739. sure my name is written in the Book of Life.

  740. If you are here and you are not sure, I'm

  741. here for you to help you, pray for you. If

  742. you're hand is lifted up, you can come to me

  743. at the front. If your hand is lifted up, you

  744. can come to me at the front. Okay, if we

  745. don't have anybody like that. If you are here and

  746. you are struggling with anything I have mentioned in the Bible,

  747. anything that I have brought up, anything with red, you

  748. are struggling with it. I don't want to know what

  749. it is. Lift up your hands, let me pray for you.

  750. You are struggling with something. You don't have to tell

  751. anybody the details. We don't want to know the details.

  752. Just lift up your say, Papa, pray with me. I'm

  753. struggling with something. We don't want to know what it

  754. is is none of our business. Is between you and God.

  755. So if you are struggling with anything, lift up your

  756. right hawnd right now and let me pray for you.

  757. That is help. Don't handle it alone. If you can

  758. overcome it on your own, you won't struggle with it.

  759. Please come, let me pray with you. Come to me,

  760. Come to me, Come to the frontier, and make sure

  761. you don't tell anybody what it is. It's between you

  762. and God. Salvation is an individual matter. You don't have

  763. to explain anything. And don't even tell me what it is.

  764. I don't need to know. It's none of my business.

  765. It's none of anybody's business. Whether it is anger, strive

  766. where there is the fact that you like fighting, you

  767. like argument. I don't know what it is. But whatever

  768. it is, if it's doing you and God. Today we

  769. pray everybody lifts up your hands. Heavenly Father, I pray

  770. for your precious children. These are your precious ones for

  771. which Jesus said this blood and diedful. I pray that

  772. to everyone they will have the grace to overcome and

  773. o a wheming grace, and over wheming grace, and o

  774. a wheming victory. To disengage, to disconnect, to disentangle themselves

  775. from every entanglement. You know exactly what the deal with

  776. where they are in life. You know all the struggles. Jesus,

  777. You've been in the flesh before, so you are tempted

  778. at every point where we are tempted. Yet without saying so,

  779. you know the struggle. You know that we are bad dust.

  780. So I pray for every one of them. You know

  781. exactly what it is that they are dealing with. I

  782. want you to whisper whatever it is to God on

  783. your own. Make sure nobody hears you. It's between you

  784. and God Father. As they whisper what the challenge is.

  785. Let them overcome it, Let them conquer it. Let them

  786. become masters, masters over whatever it is. Give them the

  787. power and the grace to conquer, to overcome, to rise

  788. above it, to disconnect, disengage, Let them be disentangled from

  789. any yok of bondage. In the name of the Lord Jesus,

  790. I pray that not one of them will be slaves

  791. or savans to whatever it is that from today, let

  792. them override, let them walk over it, let it be overwritten.

  793. Let them walk over it and override it. Lift up,

  794. you say, in the name of Jesus. I override any

  795. challenge in my life, any challenge, any temptations, I override

  796. it in the name of Jesus by divine authority. I

  797. disengage my spirit, soul, and body. I renounce in the
