REV:13 WOUNDS.
The wounds of revelation 13 could not be a wound on a human being. The great book of the bible does not have quotation where the Lord God asked a particular person to wound a human in the head. Which means it is not biblical for such to happen to anybody of the human race. The person who did that for any religious reason was not from God, the Almighty. Possibly, the person do not have understanding or knowledge of the bible as he or she had deceived many to think she or his plan was in fulfillment of the gospel.
The wounds of USA was the real deal. Starting from the Oklahoma bombing by Timothy Mcvah, the ex-military republican vigilantee. This occurred when president Clinton was in power killing children in large numbers. By the time Bush was in power, the effect of that atrocious unneeded scenery had vaporated from the minds of the country. That was the wound healed. The 9/11 occurred, completing the 777 corresponding to the 666 starting point of Reagan turnure of power. My little boy wasn't even concieved in the womb, all of the sudden he is being accounted as inclusive. USA will do anything to cover themselves up in a scandal, so they have crafted a sermon to the public which has nothing to do with scriptures to reverse whatever I say or write. While the churches sat there enjoying cruelty against their fellow human being all in the name and image of a nation.
The 9/11 came on Mr. G.W. Bushes watch and that resulted to the two wars, Afghanistan, understandable but Irag far fetch. Personally,I think the Irag war was planned far 1992/93, this is where I come to take the place of Bush, in case their plans go against public expectations.Clinton was to fight that war, while he refused, he agreed to arranged me for the future administration, which became the Bush's government.All of the sudden Father Bush and Clintons became pals for golf. The two wounds knocked out skyscrappers which are symbols of power call horns from the bible. The 9/11 wound connected the WORLD TRADE CENTER in New York and The pentagon. Apostle John who discerned the prophecy could not have understood Pentagon, used bears feet to describe the place or the scene and "buy and sell" for the trade center, since trade means buy and sell.
The interestng part is that, I have already had dreams in Ghana, one was to separate. While I was not aware of what to separate in the dream, having became born again in 1986, church of pentecost. Kumasi, Ghana. What they were trying to do to me has become true, hence, I am the person to explain the prophecy to exonerate myself for a civil/ human violation reward. Which I think I have delivered for the glory of the Lord God. The corresponding reward which suppose to make the name Jesus Christ become the answer to bible issues have been compromised and now the gospel is of wonder. The pope claiming to be Peter of our current generation calling nations his subjects. I wonder how many who call themselves christians are so ignorant of the scriptures.

It is shocking that a president is orgainising a Pilgrimage to Israle and spending so much energy, time and effort onit when there are serious issues to be addressed in Ghana. Shortage of water electricity, gas and medical facilities. The best he can do about prayers is to encourage men of God in Ghana to pray for the nation in their own way and not to tell them how to pray by spending money for them to gio and pray in Isarel. Where did he learn that God can hear the prayers of only those who pray in Israel. Mahama and hos advisers needs education in theology. They should go on courses on the subject if they are so religious.

Apstle Opoku Onyinah is a true man of God who knows his bible and understand what he preaches. No where in the bible do christians are instructed to go to Jerusalem to pray before God Almighty hears them. There is nothing wrong as a christian to travel to Jerusalem for historical purposes. As a christian, if your main purpose is to go there a pray before God hears you, then you need to be taught of bible.
If President Mahama thinks these pastors prayers in Jerusalem will bring him some miracles, then he is deceiving himself. As Assembly of God member, the president is God's provision and blessing are available to the president only if he will refrain from corruption and dubious ways. The president must stop his unfaithfulness to his wife as it is known in political circles. If the president is prepare to do right things and obedience to God, God will never fail and leave him.
God Almighty never failed and left Daniel and his friends, Joseph, Jacob, Abraham's servant when he went to look for wife for Isaac, many early christians and today's faithful christians. Why would God fail and leave John Mahama as president and christian? Be obedience to God and walk in his ways, and your presidency will be blessed.
We are in Christian erra, where God lives in every faithful christian.
(2Cor 1:22)says God has identified us (Christians) as His own and He has place his Holy Spirit in us as a first installment guaranteeing every promise he has made to us. Again (1Cor 2:12)says God has place his Spirit in us so that we may know the wonderful things he has freely given to us.
John Mahama, if you consider yourself as a true christian, you don't need to send some pastors to Jerusalem to pray for your presidency. Every power you need from God is available to you if only you are obedience child of God. Don't allow all these NDC 'trokosi worshipers' to deceive you. As a christian president, try your best to stop corruption. Don't be part of it. Think of the poor and the weak Ghanaians you represent and do the right thing for our country. A word to wise is enough.

Look at a pentecostal talking as if the Bible was not written for our admonishment.
The question to Apostle Onyinah is , why didn't Jesus pray in the temple ? Why did Jesus retreat to the garden of Gethsemane and not in his home and pray.?
The answer is JESUS was led by the spirit. Has Apostle Onyinah been led by the spirit to do something before ? If not , then he is a carnal man pretending to know God.

When a person believes that his parents who take good care of him are sinners in accordance with the belief of the Abraham religions it means that that person does not respect and defend his own dignity and freedom of conscience.
When Christian Priests refer to suffering it is not the suffering that Ghanaians undergo every day because of the global socioeconomic order, but the suffering that Jesus was supposed to have undergone about two thousand years ago.
The places we hear are Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Jehrico and Israel. Any other nation is referred to as being evil including Iraq, Iran, Egypt and Syria, not to forget Ghana.
So Christian priests in Ghana want to be in Abraham's heaven, but not set foot on where he was said to have walked.

If it is so what will be in my case, your case, and the case of others who are poor and can't afford travel expense to Jerusalem? Are we not going to be saved? Let's all wise up.

If a free oppotunity comes with sponsorship and Apostle Onyinah says he does not want this grace , he can allow others to go.
If the money comes from govt, i don't mind, let alone to hear that God has led somebody to sponsor this ? What is the problem of this timid pastors. Water or electicity or fuel shortage will not prevent Pilgrims from going to Hajj, and Apostle must get that clear.
If Apostle Onyinah cares, he shd sell house and car and give it to the poor. What sort of hindrance, stumbling block and hypocrisy is that ?

Onyame Ekuma, let it be known that the apostle is by no means stopping you from doing your pilgrimage as you choose to. All he is saying is you "Don't go to Sokoto to find what's in your Chokoto" It's okay to come back from the pilgrimage and feel very important in your community, but don't do it in the expense of the country or kid no one by pretending that Ghana need your prayer from Israel. I will rather have someone in Israel moved by the spirit to pray for Ghana and not you. It's interesting I don't even like your name, because it unnecessarily spells doom and that tells the kind of a pastor you might be. possibly one of those who instills fear into people just to rob them. Bro, you don't scare no one with that name and by your words we know you should rather have come by the name; Obonsam Ekuma. You can't hide behind God while you are so rotten, the spirit will expose you before you know it. God save his children from the false prophets.

Apostle Onyinah is selfish and does not want others to experience the Holy land so he and a few will boast of beimg the only people seen Israel
we visit the Niagara in Kenya and go to Cape Town and Elmina and Gorri islands and so on and so forth as tourist attractions and taking inspiration.

Are you just writing for writing sake or what? Do you understand what Apostle Opoku Onyina says?
All what he said was that any true christian believer has God's Spirit living in him/her. Before Jesus's death and ascension,believers had to go to Jerusalem for sin and other offerings. In the New Testament erra, there is no need to travel to Jerusalem purposely to pray. You can pray in your farm, bedroom, market etc and God Almighty will hear you. This is the main idea of Apostle Opoku Onyina's post. Mr. Spirit-fill man, is this difficult to understand if you know your bible. Understand what someone writes before you express opinion about it. Don't call Apostle Opoku Onyina Carnal.

There is nothing wrong if you want to visit Israel for historic and archeological purposes but there is nothing spiritual about it.Similarly apart from the fact that you can have more motivation, and time to pray, there is nothing special about prayer camp. Those ignorant stuff exist only in our part of the world due to ignorance giving recourse to the unscrupulous fake pastors to deceive innocent people.

Carnal people always like Judas, will not like the woman with the alabaster box of perfume, to break it at the feet of the LORD JESUS's feet.
They pretend they love the poor and that the perfume could have bn sold and given to the poor. Jesus said ' the poor u will always have with u.'. Christians shd not be carnal and feed the prophet first.
A certain rich man made and feast and invited Apostle Opko Onyina and others ...they refused. Then the rich man asked that the publicans shd be invited....let apostle ONYINAH continue this parable of Jesus.

SO why are these people called themselves pastors if they cannot pray in Ghana for God to answer them? This even say so much about these pastors and as I said, a time will come and Mahama and his people will make account to God Himself. Mahama and his people can eat all the money in Ghana but they cannot eat the land of Ghana. His time will soon come. People are suffer in Ghana and he is enjoy the money. Go ahead!!

Ewes and the Asantes, Fantes and the Asantes, Frafra and Sisala, Gas and Krobos, Akwapim and Kwaus and etc. we have lived in years we are not throwing stones at each other or shooting anyone from throwing stone. Tell me what you want to learn from there. Read your bible or whatever you believe in and learn to give glory to God for planting you in Ghana. Yes God is watch us and probably laughing too.

Truely, this 'apostle' is questionable? and does not have the Spirit of God. First of all as believers of Christ we all know Our Sovereign God is Ominipotent, Ominipresent, Ominscient. Israel from Genesis to Revelation has always played a key role in the world prophetically and spiritually, the word of God expressly states that they are choosen from among the nations of the world. Jesus Christ therefore did not bypass the choosen people but also came forth from Israel and the Word of God states clearly "that I will bless those who bless you" (that is Israel)Hence it is not outmoded. After all the 'apostle' is still taking tithes and offerings is he not? Or is that outmoded as well? PHARISEE!!

"Jesus said unto her, Go, call your husband, and come here. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, You have well said, I have no husband: For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: that said you truly. The woman said unto him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:16-24).
Neither in this mountain. The worship of God would not be restricted to any particular locality—Judea, Samaria, or elsewhere.
Having awakened in the woman a desire for “living water,” whatever it might be, and a conviction of her personal need for it, Jesus now proceeds to guide her to the point of decision (vs. 21–27). He brings her wandering thoughts to a focus by defining true religion (vs. 21–23), extends to her an invitation to become a true worshiper (vs. 23, 24), and then leads her to the point of decision by identifying Himself as the Messiah (v. 26), and thus as one who speaks with spiritual authority. He completely disarmed her prejudice and foiled her attempt to evade the issue by making it clear that He did not share the religious bias that separated the Jews from the Samaritans. Both might become “true worshippers.” Eventually there is to be but one “fold” (ch. 10:16). She responds by an honest declaration of faith in the Messianic hope, which the Samaritans shared. Her prompt action (ch. 4:28, 29). testified eloquently of her decision. Jesus here envisions a day when the Jews will cease to be God’s chosen people.
22. Salvation. Literally, “the salvation,” meaning the only salvation there is (see Acts 4:12). Samaritanism was a combination of apostate Hebrew religion and heathenism (see pp. 18, 45). The Samaritans took the Pentateuch as their Bible and claimed to be more orthodox than the Jews, but they worshiped God blindly—they knew not what they worshiped—and therefore worshiped Him “in vain” (see Mark 7:7). In the providence of God the Jews had been made His chosen witnesses to the nations of earth (see Vol. IV, pp. 26-30). They became the recipients and appointed custodians of His revealed will (see Rom. 3:1, 2; 9:3–5). Jesus therefore affirms the absolute superiority of the Jewish religion, having already made it clear that that superiority is in no way related to the place of worship (John 4:21). The superiority of Judaism consisted in the fact that God had chosen the Hebrew people to be His representatives on earth, that He had entrusted to them the divine oracles, and that the Messiah was to be a Jew (Rom. 9:4, 5).
23. Now is. The “hour” of v. 21, when the place of worship ceases to be a matter of importance, is here now. It is not necessary to struggle on in the rut of the past. It is not necessary to await some future time to enter into true worship, to receive the “living water.” Jerusalem has been the appointed place of worship (see v. 21), and will remain so for a brief time longer, but true worship may begin “now.” It is not where, but how, one worships that counts.
True worshippers. That is, those whose worship is of the heart, rather than worship consisting essentially of ritual forms conducted at some particular place.
In spirit and in truth. That is, in all sincerity, with the highest faculties of the mind and emotions, applying the principles of truth to the heart (see on Matt. 5:3, 48; 7:21–27; Mark 7:6–9). This is genuine worship, Jesus says; all else is false. The same distinction here made between true worship and the forms of worship is clearly stated by the prophet Micah (ch. 6:7, 8).
The Father seeketh. The Father is not a far-off deity, unconcerned with His children, but is interested in them individually (see Isa. 57:15). He not only accepts “true worshippers” but anxiously “seeketh” those willing to worship Him “in spirit and in truth,” and encourages them to come to Him (see Eze. 18:31, 32; John 3:16; Acts 17:24–31; 2 Peter 3:9). Salvation is not the result of men’s feeble efforts at seeking out an indifferent God, but of the unwearied efforts of a heavenly Father who, with solicitous compassion, seeks for His lost children (see on Matt. 18:12–14; John 10:1–21). John repeatedly emphasizes this truth (see John 3:16; 6:44; 15:16; 1 John 4:10). Compare the parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Lost Son (Luke 15:1–32).
24. God is a Spirit. Literally, “God [is] spirit.” As an infinite spirit being, God is not subject to the same limitations as finite material beings, and consequently is not so much concerned with visible places and forms of worship as He is with the spirit in which men worship Him (see on v. 22).

PLEASE, PLEASE.... GET OUR CHAIRMAN OUT OF YOUR POLITICS!!! SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, APOSTLE DR OPOKU ONYINA HAS BEEN TEACHING ON "WORSHIPPING IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH" WHICH IS OUR THEME FOR THE YEAR. HIS MESSAGE IS BASED ON THE DISCOURSE BETWEEN JESUS AND THE SAMARITAN WOMAN IN JOHN 4:1-24 WHERE JESUS SAID A TIME IS COMING WHEN TRUE WORSHIPPERS ON GOD WILL NEITHER WORSHIP HIM IN JERUSALEM NOR ON MOUNTAINS, BUT WILL WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
HIS MESSAGE THEREFORE IS NOT A REACTION TO THE SO CALLED GHANA GOV'T SPONSORSHIP TRIP FOR SOME PASTORS TO ISRAELI. PLEASE DON'T INSULT THE RESPECTABLE MAN OF GOD.

It is shocking that Mahama is orgainisin a pilgrimage for some men of God to Israel for prayers for Ghana at such a cost when the country is short of electicity, gas water, aannd medical facilities. Where did Maham and his advisers learn that God listens to only those who pray in Israel. They shoud attaend a course in theology. Or is it a way of endearing himself to men of God so that they will campagn for him in their churches. This is shamful. I am sure he will get some cheap pastors to take up the offer. This is a disgrace for Ghana and nobody will take our country and Mahama seriously.
Maham should find something better to spend Ghana's money on. If he genuinely believes in prayer he should just advise the men of God in Ghana to pray for Ghana. Then they the men of God will decide how and when to pray.

I cannot help but agree with the Chairman. The. Formulae for worshiping God n has changed. Pastors should not cash on trips to Isreal As trips to see God. God is every where including Ghana.
All these pastors are the supporters of NPP, the terrorists party, will never accept defeat in any election.During 1992 election, prayer meeting was held at Kumasi cultural center to pray for the nation. These pastors were te ...

Whatever it is God will continue to be God of Ghana. no amount of stumbling power can shorten Gods hand for the Presidency.Go,go,go The chosen man of God Jm God fearing and a humble anointed President from a unique Region
i don't blame the writer of this article. he doesn't know how great our God is so he begins the Apostle's name with a capital letter and God nd Jesus with small letters. pls note and correct it. God forgive you.
I take exception to Daily Guide's use of small letters for God. Our God is bigger than the writer whose names always start with capital letters.
We have: God not god;
We have Jesus Christ not jesus christ.
Show unto the GH ...

Agya Onyina Thanks heavens, You have nailed it right in the head! God bless our homeland Ghana. Amen and Amen!
Truely, this 'apostle' is questionable? and does not have the Spirit of God. First of all as believers of Christ we all know Our Sovereign God is Ominipotent, Ominipresent, Ominscient. Israel from Genesis to Revelation has al ...

SICK AND CORRUPT MAHAMA WILL LOOSE EVERYTHING AT THE END!
Is the writer serious? why spell the name of Jesus Christ with small "j", "c" and God small "g" respectively. Respect God and Jesus Christ, even if you are not Christian.
God is every where, it doesn't matter where you stand or go and ask for anything from him. But in the ancients of days people believed that travelling all away to isreal where a lot of miracles happened, truely their prayers ...

Ghanaians this funny I told a friend from Israel she laugh until she fell. Please some pastors open up your brain.

why is "Jesus Christ" typed in lowercase?....smh!
The writer has no regard to Jesus Christ, our Savior. Whatever they write, it does not affect the deity of Jesus Christ in any way. He is King of King and Lord of Lords.
Glad to know Jesus is not God but a deity.
The modern man's imagination is always at work.
If Jesus is a deity, then God is an illusion.
How believable?
Beats Me.
