FAITH; GO FOR THE WORD - BY. REV. DR. NANA YAW BOAFO.

·1 hr 16 min·5 clips

A pastor explains why he distrusts ministers who have never faced personal trials or gone through God's refining fire.

Rev. Dr. Nana Yaw Boafo delivers a sermon titled 'Faith; Go for the Word' as part of a faith teaching series. He opens with prayer and recalls a previous formula: faith equals victory. Boafo explains that the word of God is like fire, which can represent both judgment and refinement, citing Malachi 3. He argues that refinement through trials is necessary for believers, especially ministers, to exhibit God's glory. The speaker shares a detailed testimony about a reverend minister who suffered from sickness for 17 years, fasting and praying without result, until he studied three books: 'How Faith Works' by Dr. Casey Price, 'The Authority of the Believer' by Kenneth Hagan, and 'Keys to Divine Healing' by Bishop David Oyedepo. After consuming these books, the minister declared his healing and was freed. Boafo transitions to discussing Job, focusing on Job 1:8 where God asks Satan if Job fears Him for nothing. He analyzes this question to challenge listeners' motives for serving God, emphasizing that true worship is not transactional. The sermon recounts how Job responded to the loss of his children, livestock, and servants with immediate worship, not despair. Boafo warns against judging pastors online, sharing anecdotes about how such criticism can lead to personal trials. He advises focusing on productive pursuits rather than scrolling social media. The message concludes with the formula 'word plus fee equals victory,' stressing that knowledge of God's word is essential for overcoming challenges. Boafo encourages listeners to seek pastoral counsel and remain resolute in faith, asserting that serving God for nothing leads to having everything, as illustrated by Job's restoration.
