I had to wait for 10 years to have my first child – Pastor Joe Beecham
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Pastor Joe Beecham was on eTV's The Late Nite Celebrity Show and
shared how long it took him to get his first child after ten years of
marriage.
The Masem Bi singer talking about the inspiration for his songs revealed;
"I believe you can't give what you don't have, I have been through
things and I come from a family with lots of struggle so I understand
what it means to be struggling. So when I sing I try to relate to what
the listener is going through.
"For instance, I had to wait for ten years after I married to have a
child. And during the waiting, you could just imagine, this is an
anointed man, this is someone who ministers and people receive
deliverance and all, there's this saying that when the encourager is
down, who encourages him? I also heard the late former President ask
'who watches over the watchmen?'
"When the man of God stands on the pulpit and afterwards locks his
door and asks God what is happening to me… I was at the point where it
wasn't happening. I knew it was going to happen but it wasn't
happening.
"One day I was having my bath and I stood in the basin and asked, God,
why me? I pray for people and they receive the fruit of the womb and
deliver, so this small thing you can't do for me, God, I won't ask you
again. I will never talk to you about this thing again. You have to
put him to the test.
You have to bring him to a place where you show him his own word. He
said "I will never leave you alone, call me." That same year which was
my ninth year after marriage, it happened. My wife conceived. The name
of my first child is Elisa."
The Joe Beecham Ministries is scheduled to launch on Wednesday, March
4, 2015 at the Alisa Hotel in Accra will see the release of two
singles from his upcoming sixth album which is due to be unveiled in
May 2015.
