Preaching during the virtual communion service on all the Global Media Alliance Group (GMA) media assets; Happy FM, e.TV Ghana and across the Y-Triangle of Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi he said: “I have titled my sermon, ‘A Table in the Presence of my Enemy’. Have you ever been in the presence of someone who hates you? Imagine being in the presence of a hungry lion, how helpless it makes you feel. Covid-19 is a huge enemy but just as the Bible says in Psalm 23:4-6, He will prepare a table before us in the presence of our common enemy”.
He also explained the word ‘prepare’ in biblical context. ‘’Prepare is an interesting word, it means something that is set, something that is read. It takes foresight to prepare, meaning God is intentional about what He is doing for you in this season. A table is a metaphor for an elaborate formal meal (banquet) before you. The table doesn’t just appear, while the enemy is in the shadows God is present’’ he stated.

He used what it means in the days of David when God set a table before a sheep to give clarity to the virtual congregation about his sermon.
‘’Most of Judea is hilly and so when God sets a table before a sheep it means flat land unhindered, lustrous green land. May God prepare a table before our country, our continent and our world’’, he prayed.
