Pastor Elvis said in the video, "You're a joker. You're following the trends of this world. If you know the spiritual impact of birthdays, you won't be taking new pictures for your birthday."

He added that satan uses photoshoots and other things to distract the children of God from the principal underlying significance of birthdays.

"All that the devil wants is for your age to increase. So all that you are doing is increasing in numbers but not the glory. It's only numbers you are adding up.

"Don't you know where we produce destinies on a birthdays? That every birthday you must consult an altar?"
