Folc Monthly Diaries Rep your team Sunday was announced at the \"The deafening silence in the hall gave Presence service, the week before. It came as me chills.\" a pleasant surprise to all of us in campus church because no one was expecting Finally, the long awaited Sunday came. People anything of the sort. Well, I don’t know if you came dressed in various jerseys of different were but I certainly wasn’t. Right after the teams. Some of the teams which were announcement, people bubbled with represented are Juventus, Real Madrid, excitement as they argued on which team Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester United and of was the best and which player was the course the great Asante Kotoko, to mention greatest of all time. As those who were not so just a few. Everyone was dressed to kill in their much into football just smiled as they listened jerseys and sneakers. to different points that were made in defense of their teams. We just could not wait for the actual day to come. Anyway, what is a ‘Rep Your Team Sunday’ without actually repping your team with a Jersey? And this is where the ‘wahala’ began. While some people did not have any problem of getting a Jersey for Sunday, others were busily looking for where to get jerseys at cool and affordable prices. Others turned business men overnight. There were others too who borrowed from friends and ended up repping teams they did not support. Let’s not even get started on the preparations the different basontas put into making that Sunday a memorable one. 4

Folc Monthly Diaries We had a powerful time of prayer with praise and worship as we prepared our hearts for the Word. Then came the different groups of dancing stars. The film stars also gave us a beautiful play. We can simply not forget the ministration of the Greater Love Gospel Choir as they blessed us with the song ‘Bread of Heaven’. Now it was time for the Word and little did we know that we were in for a big surprise! Our mother ES Joy Philippe Bruce was in the house!!! She had not been around for a number of weeks and we were so happy to finally see her again. She preached to us, a very timely message, ‘Giants Do Fall’. She also shared her testimony with us on how God delivered her from death. The deafening silence in the hall gave me chills. I mean, we all tried to guess the reason for our pastor's absence in church. Most of us assumed that she was either out winning souls or doing work with our father, Bishop Dag Heward Mills' books and the ignoramuses of our time assumed that she had been transferred! Little did we know the real situation at hand. In all things we were most grateful to God that our mother, our shepherd, our personal person was back! MUMMY IS BACK! ES Joy encouraged us that in spite of whatever giant we face we should know that giants fall. After the service, there was a count- off to see which team was the most represented. We all know the team that won, right? There were lots of photoshoots. I think I saw some people in matching jerseys too... Perhaps, we'll focus our lenses on this issue another time. The day was very memorable and I don't know about you but I certainly want to do this again. 5

Folc Monthly Diaries Swag Sunday. The aroma of Rep your Team \"Just go and listen to the podcast again Sunday hadn't even diffused in the Fountain if all I'm saying sounds new to you, I'm of Life Cathedral when Town church made a not here to summarize the message!\" big hit with Swag Sunday. CPS’ very own Nana Yaw shook the place with It is a well established fact that our church is a powerful ministration. Then came my an amazing church by all standards, but on favourite part of the service! The Word God. the 7th of March, the Word Encounter service took it to a whole other level for Swag Our pastor, ES Joy Phillippe-Bruce continued Sunday. Let's get started on how it went to teach us Seven Great Principles for a Great down. Change. The service, as usual started with prayer led by Pastor David and can I just say that the drip from the stage was enough to flood the church? The worship stars led the congregation in worship and praise, followed by ministrations from the Greater Love Gospel Choir and the film stars. The swag Lords of the church, the dancing stars, did not disappoint as they took the stage by storm. The choral stars did not miss out on all the action and serenaded us with choral music in their cool outfits. 7

Sassy Folc Teen Magazine Monthly Diaries She practically explained man being a spirit, having a soul and living in a body to us with Carter, Pastor Daniel and Oko Nunoo. She established that when we become born again, our spirits our like babies and we need to grow! She went on to teach us to listen to preaching every time as the Bible says in Rom. 10:17 that faith cometh by hearing. Just go and listen to the podcast again if all I'm saying sounds new to you, I'm not here to summarize the message! The order of the service was as it normally is, but I can tell you with all certainty that the atmosphere was different. It was full of life, positive energy and undeniable drip. We saw all kinds of attires. People turned up their sneaker game with high tops, plimsolls, slipons and what not. There were bucket hats, beanies, bandannas and back snap hats. Durags were not lost in the mix of head gear. There were cool sunglasses, ripped jeans, camouflage attires and big chain necklaces. Indeed the service happened in Kumasi! It is worth mentioning that some basontas went all out on this day. The dancing stars, the praises and worship team and the choral stars were just on point. The effect of this service was greatly felt by the campus church who went to their overseer, Lady Rev Humaima Nunoo, with a request to have their own Swag Sunday. The day ended with many people taking pictures all swagged up for Jesus! 8

Folc Monthly Diaries PPrroopphheettiicc AAllll NNiigghhtt Somewhere in the middle of March, our \"People had a lot of funny and pastor announced to us that on the 19th of interesting experiences during the March, 2021, we would be having a Prophetic first few days.\" all night service with Bishop Francis Sarpong. Anyways it all contributed to our zeal to The church shouted and clapped in the participate in the Prophetic all night service. excitement and expectation, but when she followed the announcement with a three day fasting and prayer period before the all night, the church was quiet. Wednesday came too fast. Fliers were on all pages reminding us about the fast and the prayer meeting at 6pm. People had a lot of funny and interesting experiences during the first few days. I heard someone was craving palm nut soup and fufu, some others wanted to eat pork, and because Mummy said we could take liquids, some wanted to blend any and everything including waakye! 11

Folc Monthly Diaries Our much awaited all night service was finally here! By the grace of God, there was a massive turn out. The service began with spirit filled worship and prayer then, we led through some hot and moving time of praises. Not long after, Es Joy ushered us into a rather solemn and concentrated time of prayer to keep our expectations high for the night. We prayed for all obstacles and hindrances to be cleared in order for us to enjoy and fully participate in the program and also to receive fully the ministration of our guest speaker. The Greater love gospel choir ministered a powerful song “The Name of Jesus” to further prepare us for what was yet to come. Finally, the moment we had all been waiting for. Mummy introduced the guest speaker of the night who was in the person of Bishop Francis Sarpong of Calvary Charismatic Baptist church, a spirit filled and vibrant man of God, and a follower of our father, Bishop Dag, who led us in yet another dimension of the spirit. He taught us from the first book of 1st Kings 18:41-46 where he spoke about how God through the prophet Elijah commanded the heavens to open and rain was sent forth over famine stricken Israel. He also briefly advised us to adhere to all COVID protocols and even urged us to take the vaccine using himself as an example. Later we ushered though a time of intense prayer and worship. When I say intense, I’m talking of youth praying for 3hrs straight. We prayed for open heavens and rain which he said symbolizes God’s abundance blessings. The evening ended with us giving offerings and he blessed us, prayed for the sick, people who had evil dreams, and for breakthrough. It was a beautiful and blissful experience in the presence of God. 12

Folc Monthly Diaries So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.. Romans 10:17 KJV Growing up, this verse baffled me a lot. I could not understand how what I heard was connected to what I believed and as a result, I struggled to listen to preaching messages. However, light came one day through a scripture I heard in church which says, “And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me and set me upon my feet that I heard him that spake unto me.” Ezekiel 2:2 KJV Day in, day out, we move around as Christians One meaning of the verse is that a voice, or in this increasingly worldly and desperate voices can carry spirits which can enter a environment where our ears and eyes are person and cause them to do something. How exposed to all that is in the world. The lust of does this relate to listening and believing, one the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of may ask. life are served to us daily through our conversations and our interactions, whether in person or on social media. It is true that a daily quiet time provides light for the day but when we open our ears to listen, we find ourselves not only increasing our faith but opening our lives to godly counsel on several issues in our lives which may not be solved in the daily quiet time. Another reason for listening to a message even available for you every single day on podcast from a service you attended is because just waiting for you to download them so they research has shown that we retain only 11% of bless your life. what we hear the first time we hear it, hence the need to repeatedly listen in order to glean It’s time for you to increase your faith and step all that we missed the first time. out of depressive thoughts and evil voices, into a world of deeper spirituality and fellowship Finally, listening to preaching all the time with God. Stop hesitating, hit that play button creates an atmosphere around you and and thank me later! prevents certain kinds of evil thoughts and voices from speaking to your mind and leading you into things you’re trying to get out from. So if you're reading this, then it means you’re blessed enough to be in a church where thousands of preaching audios and videos are 13
