02. The Anointing 1

Welcome to track #2 of break forth and become who you can become. John 1613. How be it when the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth, Amen. For he shall not speak of himself, whatever he shall hear, he shall speak, Amen. So the first thing that they annoyed does is it guides you into truth #2 John 1426. The Father, which is the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, who my Father will send, he shall teach you, Amen. So that's the second effect of the anointing is to teach you. And the third thing you can say about the anointing is in Isaiah 11/2 he says that the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord, Amen. What do you think? Is it powerful? So three things that happen when you are anointed. I don't know what you are writing. I don't think you should write. I think you should listen. You understand there's nothing to write. I'm just reading verses that you know. All right. The the first thing that happens is that when the spirit of truth comes, he will teach you. OK, so when you are being anointed, you are getting the truth knowledge, Amen. What do you think? OK, so how many want to receive that anointing to do things? Yeah. So that anointing is truth teaching when the Holy Spirit can teaches, Amen. Teaches, I'm telling you, teaches, OK. Truth. Is the spirit of knowledge. The spirit of knowledge is about facts and truth. That's the spirit of knowledge. Amen. Are you with me? Yeah. So when the comforter whom he will send comes, he shall teach you. OK. So the more you expose yourself to the anointing, the more you are being taught things. Amen. And when the Holy Spirit comes, he. Guides you to the truth, OK? Because one of the great information, one of the great things of the spirit of, of the anointing is the spirit of knowledge. Amen. Now. When this it says the Spirit. Of the Lord shall rest upon him, which is the Spirit of Jesus, Amen. And the Spirit of wisdom, which is how to do things, how to or what should we do Amen. And the Spirit of wisdom. One of the great keys of the Spirit of wisdom is history. History is the Spirit of wisdom, Amen. Spirit of wisdom, what to do is the spirit of history, Amen. Why do I say that? What should be done? What's going to happen is what has happened. So to know what to do is to know what has happened before. And so the spirit of wisdom, which is what to do, is the spirit of history. Do you understand? Yeah. History is the spirit of wisdom. What do you think? Yeah, when my father-in-law years ago, when there were certain things happening, the government and so on, when he saw them, he was not impressed because he has seen all these before. He said this one, he will do this, this one, he will do this. And it was all true and it happened exactly as he said. Yeah, because he had lived through certain things, had seen this, saw that and saw that. So when a new one comes, you know what he's going to do, and so you know what to do. So the spirit of wisdom is the spirit of history. I mean, one of the there are about 3, but one of them is history. Are you with me? That is why anyone. Who wants to be, let's say, a head of state, or you become a president or whatever you study? History. History tells you what to do. Obama, what he's doing today is what Roosevelt and others who were there earlier did after the Great Depression. That's what brought him into power. He came into power at the same Roosevelt came into power at the same time, the same kind of conditions that Obama came into power at the great when the banks collapsed and everything collapsed, the credit card and he started. What he did was to create a massive project in the country that would employ 4 million people or 2 million people, 4 million people in one day, projects, dams, building, whatever, which is exactly what Obama has done to overcome. So the spirit of wisdom, what to do is the spirit of history. So you wonder, how does Obama know what to do? He's read history. Because what brought somebody like Hitler into power, right, was the collapse of all the banks in Germany. They woke up on one day in the morning, and all the banks had collapsed in the same day in the morning. And that's what happened. That's what wanted to happen. That's why all the countries stepped in to protect their banks and to save their banks. So what do you do is what was done, and what you don't do is what was done that they didn't work. So that is why biographies, reading of biographies, what men of God did? What happened to other churches? What happened to other ministries? What happened to people just like you? What happened to other missionaries? How did it become what? Happened. Do you get it? It's very important so when you are. Receiving the anointing, you find out that you are reading and you are discovering. That's why I see a person who doesn't read much. It's not that he's not intelligent. He's not anointed. Yeah, he's not anointed. I'm telling you literally, that's the real anointing when you talk of what you can accomplish by the power of God. God himself, God himself minister. So that's why we read the Bible with the stories. In fact, the Israelites are one of the only nations who have such details of history. The history of their nation and of their dealings with God is recorded for us to see the things that made God angry and what God said He would do to them. Because of the things that they did and all the kings of Israel, only David and one other, one or two others ever served only Jehovah. All of them served, Jehovah and other gods all. These historical things reveal to us what is going to happen. So the spirit of wisdom very, very, very important, you know. And so when you talk about somebody becoming anointed, you are talking about the person. Becoming filled with wisdom of, in other words, what to do, what to do, what to do, and what to do comes from what was done, obviously. Is there anything whereof it may be said this is new? It's not true, there is nothing. I'm not doing anything new. I am not doing anything. There is nothing that I'm doing or saying that is new. So when we sit there like people who cannot read, you get it and just do not read, it reveals a gross lack of anointing. That's why I will not lay hands on you at this meeting. I will not. I will not want to know what's real. And look at me, say that I have no power and show me your churches. I'll show you my churches, books, invitations, miracles. I'll show you say I'm not anointed. I don't have. Power. Come, let's, let's compare. Come see. Now let's talk. You show me your power. You. You lay hands and three people fall down in the classroom. You say you are anointed. Come now, discuss and see who is powerful in the world, in this world today. Who can say to one come, and he come and to another? Go and he go. Come and let's discuss. Let's compare our our lives. Yeah. Come, you say. You say I'm not anointed. Come, let's talk. I will. I will send a text right now. Somebody will leave America. Somebody will leave America tomorrow morning. Tomorrow. I'll send a text. Now let's let's see who you can move from. Anywhere. I'll send a text. And we see who is powerful here. So I will not lay hands on you. I will not, I will not. I will just speak to you. The wisdom, spirit of wisdom, Amen. And the spirit of counsel, the next one. I don't know what you are writing in Isaiah. Advice upon advice upon advice. It's given to you advice upon advice upon advice. But we don't take it counsel. Hey, we had a camp the other time with Julian. He was going to buy a bus. We were there and I said don't buy the bus. Why me that? I've had a hiring car before. I've had a taxi before. I've had an I've had an Evan before. Plus I was going to buy an Evan. I didn't buy it. Are you sure I didn't buy it? I have had an I've had a taxi before. Yellow and whatever with my name on it. That's what no PO Box. This is right on the side they have, they have the address of the owner, the address of the owner. I've had one before, I've had a hiring car before, I've had a cheaper track before and. You will never. Notice certain things till it applies to you. If, for instance, you're going to have a car and or you get a car, or you're going to get a car and you notice. All. That same car in town that before you don't notice it before you don't notice that car, but when you get then you notice all that car in town. So, So what am I even telling you? So I I was driving, I was driving one day behind a car and I saw the app written on a pray for transport owners. Pray for transport owners. And I saw and I said most people don't understand what they are preaching at the back of this camp because I was a transport owner. Yeah. So. Council, we gave him counsel. Peace on experience. It doesn't. It doesn't, you see. That's why I said that a person who is advised and can receive their advice as if he himself has no brains, it's one of the most anointed. You may call the person a zombie, a yes man, yes woman, any name that you want, but that person is more anointed than you. I'm telling you, he's more anointed than you. Fat, fat. That's why I won't lay hands on you. He, he, he who can receive advice is far more anointed than you. Yeah. Just a one piece of advice. Do this. That person is heavily anointed. Yes, we see the spirit of counsel. Yeah, that's true. Solomon got his father, gave him advice. You see this man when you were a little boy, this what he did to me? Kill him. I mean, there is no sense in you coming. You see an elderly man walking Job, an old man, Gray hair old man in his house. And your father tells you that when you were a little boy, when I was carrying you, I was taking you to hospital up. And now this is what he did to me. Don't let him die naturally. This is my instruction to you. Do not die a natural death killing. And this guy, when I was coming back, he kissed me. Deal with him. This was the advice he received the spirit of And he was happily anointed by God. Happily. You say you are anointed. Come and let's see what is power and authority and we'll see who, who is anointed, who has authority. Yeah. So you see a whole lot of people they. Cannot. When you tell them do this, they pass that thing through 1000 filters and then the commonness response of a person without the anointing is you don't understand. You see over here, you see in here in where's your country, you see in this and this you see, you are. Let me explain to you. You see our people, the people you see, except you don't understand that the person will. Spread of foolish they are the. Opposite of anointing. You see, you don't understand over here. You see our people. You see over here. This this this. That is a commonness sign of a de anointed person lack of anointing in. Your particular case which I don't understand because it was another error and you see in your time and you see on Accra and you see in Ghana, but over here, but you see this and that 1000 reasons why. It cannot be. You see. You see that that's it. You cannot receive it another spirit, and it is not even. You have no. Oil on your head? Yeah. I don't want to lie to you. So you watch people? My father-in-law, I was traveling abroad and I had a tipper track and when I was travelling before he travelled, he asked before I travelled, he asked me what are you going to do with your truck? And I said I'm going to, it will work because I need a lot of money. And he advised me, he said no, pack it, even you can pack it at Ringway. And he showed me where I could pack it when I come, when I spark it again. And I said Oh no, no, you don't understand. You see, I thought I have, I have, I have. I have somebody. I have somebody in our church. In our church, you, you. You didn't have that church, but our church is called Lighthouse. You had Methodists, you have Methodists, we have Lighthouse, and you don't understand. We have people, yes, who are lawyer. So I put the track to work and Bishop Saki was the manager. He was that overall supervisor. By when I came back, I was so excited. And then I think either at the airport or so I asked my son was born, what is the situation? How much do I have said? Oh, there were some problems when they went through the whole account with me. I was owing millions and when I was leaving I wasn't owing even one city. The car has worked and I am now deeply in debt, and all the money that I got from abroad, I was coming to use it to pay all those debts. But you see, I would have gone higher if I had listened to the old man who has had so many tracks articulated with white men. White men used to work for him. White men were his engineers. He had so many tracks that at the end of his age of his whatever, a cheaper track used to take his children to school. Yeah, yeah. So many, so many trucks. The children are going to school a tipper truck. They sit in the front of the tipper. Truck and the tipper truck drops them at school. Yeah, and picks them in a tipper truck. This is an experienced. Man. Who has the spirit of history? And he's telling you that. Pack the truck. But no, I will not pack it because you don't understand. In my situation, I have this and I have that. Recently I met the manager, the guy in the church who I gave the truck to. I met him in America. When I saw myself, all that I could remember was the truck. When I saw his face. I say you how I have struggled with you over my truck. Yeah, a driver and that guy. So spirit of counsel and then spirit of what might Strength, Amen. Strength. We need strength so that when you receive the anointing, you receive strength. Amen. Even physical. Strength is very much related to the anointing. Yeah. When you are tired, the anointing. You know, I've noticed if I'm tired, I cannot flu. You get it. Yeah, that is why I would like give somebody counsel and tell the person play golf. Sometimes people see us playing golf. They think that we are rich, rich old men playing golf or math like rich or math like tomato. So we are rich old men as you are thinking those thoughts, I've given you advice, but you rather have other thoughts in your mind, not knowing that most Ghanaians, Ghanaian men, we, we grow up with our pot bellies. If we were in the world, we see that the whole person, the whole. Person is deteriorating, changing, changing right before your eyes. See a young person? You'll be surprised to know how many heads have either been dyed or. The hair has been removed, there is no more strength. And then the spirit of knowledge. I write down the spirit of understanding, spirit of understanding science. Why? The spirit of economics. Why? History. Also, not even history is more of what to do. But you see, there's a lot of why. Why is this like this? Yes, why? Why? Why is the reason? That's what we call perspicacity. Perspicacity, an ability to to detect things, to know things quickly, to detect things and see the differences, reasons. So what we call perspicacity, being astute, able to learn quickly things that are to your benefit, you get it. Yeah. So, brothers and sisters, the spirit of understanding and that's why. Education will never, never harm anybody who claims he wants to be anointed. Because understanding now I am rather learning. More history. Than ever before. Yeah. I don't know why I did not study history in school. I did not. And now history, even secular history, is greatly important to me. As I look at our nation, I can see whenever I see certain governments doing certain things, I know for sure how hopeless it is. It will never work. What are the main things that we eat in Ghana? Corn. I mean cake from cake from corn cake and what? Banku cocoa. And Ghana imports 120,000 tons of maize every year. You get it? Yeah, it's, it's fantastic. Then the spirit of knowledge and then which is the facts, the truth, and then the spirit of the fear of the Lord. So. This. Is the anointing Amen? That's the anointing. He when he comes, he will guide you to truth. He will teach you Amen. So the more we are subject to teaching and to truth, and that's why I said that it discouraged me that the people who are bishops elect and pastors who teach these same materials could not see readily this is that. But perhaps it was an important exercise for me because it's also an important revelation for me because I stopped preaching about leadership because I felt that I was always criticizing the government. And I don't want to criticize the government. But every example that can help you to understand is an example from around us, from the type of leadership that we have had all these years. You understand that made me stop talking about it or giving the example because you get the impression that a person just speaking against or even wants to make a revolution. But I'm not interested in a revolution and I don't want to criticize the government. Amen. So, brothers and sisters, I hope you understand what I'm saying. So the effect of the anointing when a person has it is it affects the different areas that you are trying to understand or grow up in, Amen. So now let us take the different areas that a person like you needs the anointing for Amen, which is the truth. You need the truth. You need the understanding, knowledge, counsel, advice. You need it. Isn't it true, Amen? So the first area number one is church growth. All right, you need church growth. Your church must grow, Amen. And your church must grow. Are you feeling sleepy? OK, your church must grow. If you are feeling sleepy, just go out, OK, Your church must grow, Amen. And you need the Spirit of the Lord, Amen. So the anointing, all right, is acquiring #1 the spirit of wisdom for your church to grow, Amen. Or wisdom for church to grow. And wisdom is what history? Spirit of history now so spirit of history will also reveal to you what will happen. Yeah, that is why everywhere where a church there are big churches, there can be another big church, because history shows that big churches are possible here. So that is why where there's. A city with a big church or big churches, Usually it is showing that this is a place where big churches can be built. Yeah, you understand. So where you have 7 big churches, yours can be the 8th. Now where you see, like in Ghana, the largest church and most successful probably after Methodist. And all those are something like Pentecost. And Pentecost is successful through branches you understand. So it also which is church planting grow through that way. It also guides you for your church to grow is by this. Small, small, small churches having a lot of them. But that is what is going to work, you understand? Because it's like what? What will work? Because sometimes we want to know what is going to work, what will work or what will not work. Or you don't get what I'm saying. Yeah, so you need. Wisdom. In other words, what to do? For church growth, that is when, that's when you become anointed, when you have the wisdom, when you know what to do. So many of us. Don't know what to do, so may you know what to do in your area. Amen. And then understanding for the church. Growth, you see and. This again all right, the spirit of understanding is the spirit of. Science, economics, sociology, philosophy. History in a way, but history more gives guide. The best thing you can get from history is guidance. It will happen again. It's just so clear. A Bishopsaki's wife died. It's history, but it's revealing. Tomorrow somebody's wife will die, somebody's husband will die is history. That which shall be is that which has been. You don't believe it, you see. Thus that is that. Is the best thing you can get out of history is to know the future and I can show you more vases on that. Amen. Oh, you don't get it. Let me let me show you a vest in Isaiah 41. Verse 21 Isaiah 4121 he said, present your case. The Lord says, are you there? Bring forth your strong. Arguments, the king of Jacob says, Are you there? Let them bring. Forth, and declare to us what is going to take place. OK. As for the former events, are you there? Declare what they were. In other words, explain what it was. When something happens, explain what is. What is it that? We may consider them and know what the latter end What does the kid say? The latter end American says their outcome or announce to us what is coming. Amen. Announce to us what is coming. You get it. Declare the things that are going to come afterwards. Amen. Verse 23 that we may know that you are Gods. Hallelujah. Amen. So you see over here He is trying to tell. Us all right, let them bring. Then forth verse 22, Show us what shall happen. Let them show the former things what they be, that we may consider them and know the latter end of them. We will know the latter end of that thing which has happened, or declare for us things that are to come. So this is another powerful scripture that shows you that the future is simply the past. And those of you who read required books, you will see he has written a book called Shadows of Things to Come. Shadows of Things to Come means it is a foretelling of what is to come. And the book is about history of the church. It's a shadow or a prophecy or a prediction of the future of things to come. Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So, brothers and sisters, the spirit of what? Understanding why? Why the Church cannot grow, why it can grow? Why it will grow? Why it grows? Why it grew? Yeah, that's why I've been studying how rich countries became rich and why poor countries stay poor. Because when you understand the why, you can know that for 1000 years, if the governments continue to do what they are doing, we will never, never, never, never, never, never change. We will never be rich because no one ever became rich in this way, because herding goats, having goats in Mongolia, looking after goats. If Bill Gates was herding goats, he was a shepherd following some goats in Mongolia. He would not become a billionaire even, no matter the technological development that he may use whilst he's herding those goats in Mongolia. Are you understanding what I'm saying? Yes, he cannot so it. Shows you it is the activity that you are doing. There is something. Wrong with it now, no one has ever become rich by herding goats or rearing pigs or growing maize. No one has ever been become rich ever, historically, you see. And then you, you will also understand it even in our own lives. Somebody who weeds the grass and somebody who who writes prescriptions, the activities are different within the lawn outside and writing prescriptions for people to go and buy medicine in a clinic. There are two different activities. No matter the technologic Roberts home out, no matter the technological changes, that's just go and rest peace and do your work. You know why you are here. Then, no matter the technological changes that. You bring to bear on rearing cassava. Pigs will not change much. Or you don't get what I'm trying to say. It will not change much. So that's what I'm talking about. Why? Why would a church not grow no matter what you do over here? That's why sometimes we start a brand because this one, it would never grow. There are churches that cannot grow. It will never work. There is a reason. Why it will not work? So that's why sometimes you have to understand, you have to read notes why a church may not grow. One time I met a great man of God in Accra. He told me that you have broken all the conventions and so on. I said why? He said. Oh. Where are your churches? At colleague Hono, it should not have grown. That's what he told me. He has a big church in Accra, very, very big church. And his church was big ahead of us. And he said your church, it should not have grown but it grew. He said you have broken all the whatever rules and so on. Do you see so? There are things. There are reasons why things don't have work, and there are reasons why they work. So you you've got to understand it. So that's why when you see a government say we are going to invest more in agriculture because 70% of Ghanaians are farmers. You see, if Bill Gates had been herding goats in Mongolia up till today, he would not have become, no matter how intelligent he was. Yeah, but the activity is not an activity that can work in terms of generation of wealth, even that we do not do enough to feed ourselves before it will even become a source of income. And if you should have heard them say, yes, Ghana is going to become a net exporter of food, net exporter of food, net exporter of food. There's a net. We are going to become a net exporter of food. As I look at this, it's too fantastic. So knowledge Amen for church growth, understanding advice. Am I going backward or forward Knowledge about church growth. There was a man's. Book that used to read Schaefer, Is he called Schaefer about church growth? Yeah. Why do you think we are reading these books? He has so many things that make big church growth car park size of children's church. This this different things colors what have you so many things the spirit of understanding. That's what it is. I can let you know that your church, it cannot work. You. You really. Understand it not that God is against you, but you understand that this thing cannot work in that way. That's what I'm saying to you, that look, if you don't want to read all that I'm teaching you, I didn't learn it in school. I lent it after school when I started becoming a pastor and I started reading. If you don't want to read you understand, then you have to benefit in your life to the. Level. Of what you want. But you you cannot redistribute what is coming to me to you. Who doesn't want to read? It's not fair to take what belongs to Bishop Eddie and redistribute it amongst all of you because you don't want to read. But he wants to read. I have watched Bishop Eddie over the years. He has. There are certain things that he has done. I will call it C&U tense to be where he is today. That I've I've actually seen it. I can see this one he changed this to this, this one he changed this to this, this one he changed. But you see people you advise them change this, to this, do this. They don't want to do it and they don't change. They don't change. They don't even see what you are saying. They don't even see it. I mean, you say they don't even accept it. They can't even see what you are saying. They don't even agree with you. They never agree. Fantastic. You get it. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So what I am trying to explain to you is that. Why should I take Big Daddy's wealth, which has come to him through his diligence and hard work and sowing of seeds, to understand certain things? Why you don't bother at all and what what has come to us? You take it and then redistribute it to everybody. That's also injustice. That's also not the anointing. Amen. Are you listening? Yeah, The Lord's pattern and then the fear of God for church growth, Amen. The next area that you need to be anointed for, Amen, is leadership, Amen, Leadership, all right, Wisdom to lead, which is the history. Amen. What did somebody successfully do to lead a group of people who could turn against him, but he was able to lead them? What is it? Amen historically, because wisdom is history, understanding is science, economics, social science, the. Science of money is economics. The science of wealth creation is economics and history and so on. You get it. It's all a form of science. The study of even nature is part of science. You get it? Yeah. I've taken my time to study snakes diligently watching them, studying them, learning them about them, how they behave, what they do. Why? Because Jesus said be wise as serpents. And I've taken my time to study snakes. You have not taken your time to study a snake to understand what a snake is and what it. Is doing. And you want to take from the wisdom, the wealth that has created for me, for me to distribute it to those who don't care whether a snake is whites or is a fool. I don't like them. And that's it. Is it fair? It's not fair. It's not right. Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So you must allow those who want to break forth to do what to break forth, become who you can become. And we must remove all barriers and hedges that do not allow us to become who you can become. Yeah, That is why I set up a dynasty lighthouse. Dynasty means family. Lighthouse is family. And I said to Pastor Kakra, become who you can become. I said it. Anybody who is against is against me. Anybody who is against that is against me personally. I'll tell you that. You go against. Even in your mind. Your mind is against me. Yeah, telling you, I said that he didn't ask for. I gave it to myself. Become what you can become. Don't be jealous. You also become who you can become. Look. We are tired of people who don't want to learn anything, who want to eat what others have learnt and others are struggling to do. We just want them to share it. It's not like that. It cannot be like that. Are you? Listening to me, yeah. So wisdom. Why? How? How did it be? That's why I want Benny Hinn. All tapes. I don't want Benny Hinn. Now, I you will never see me put on a television to watch Benny Hinn today. This is your day. I'm not interested in how what is This is you? What is your day today? I don't want today. I want the past. Days I want the old days. The old days will tell me much more. Show me how you can become a worldwide evangelist. That's what can show me I don't want you. What we are doing today, what they are doing today, it does not give me that wisdom. It does not. I don't want Methodist Church of today. I want John Wesley of old That one will show me what is really how is we have Methodist Church became a worldwide church. Yeah, that is why our first shuffling conference we had, it was about John Wesley So wisdom. Understanding because you may see somebody doing somebody, you may not understand why. He is doing it. Why? Is he doing that? Why? If I'm having a camp, why do I have a camp? Why do I have a camp and not have a convention? You don't understand. You see, you may, you may follow the path, but you don't understand why I'm I'm having a camp. I'm not having a convention why I will have a camp with 30 people rather than having a camp with 800 people attending and be able to raise 10,000 or 20,000 lbs. Why you may not understand because you're understanding your your latitude of swing. Intellectual swing is very limited. When the swing is going just gets here. It cannot go like this all the way to the end. So. Understanding why is a very very key thing that can help you even in your guidance. Because when you understand when there must be a variation for what has happened in history, you will know. I must vary at this point, but when you don't understand, you will follow blindly and in the day. That you're supposed to shift it in a day where it applies to you? That yes. In this circumstance, don't do this because you didn't understand it deeply. He just went and said, well, this is what Bishop does, so that's what I'm doing. One day somebody invited me for a camp. I said how many people are in your church? He said. 40 I said what? What am I going? What camp am I going to have for missionaries for days for the Sir? Missionaries, out of the 40 members, let me tell you something. What you need is church growth, not camp. You must understand why are we having the camp. The camp is not having a camp. All out you must die for God. The 40 people will be left with 10 by the time I finish that camp. Yeah. When I have that kind of camp, the 40 will be left with 10. And what are we going to do next? So you, you, you, even though the wisdom is telling you what he did, what they did, whoever succeeded, what the person did, understanding will help you know why he's doing what he did, why what he did was successful. And that is why you also need the spirit of understanding because there it's true that you follow somebody, but there are times you don't have to follow the person. One day I was doing something I advised some people. I said don't do what I'm doing, don't do what I'm doing. I will never advise you to do what I'm doing. I will never advise you to do what I'm doing. If you do what I'm doing, you are a fool. You will destroy yourself. There are things that I only advise you to do them. You don't know. It's because you don't have understanding. Yeah. So you need not only to know what is wisdom, but you need to understand. What is going on? Yeah, and what again? Advice. For leadership, Amen. As for advice, there's got a lot of enemies, especially phlegmatism. I'm going to share with you destroyers of ministry, including one of the destroyers of meeting Phlegmatism. Phlegmatism is one of the destroyers and killers of ministry. It kills ministries. Things that would have happened did not happen because of phlegmatism. Phlegmatize the whole thing and just be there with various reasons like that as that nothing will happen again. Never moving, never changing, never understanding, never yielding, just there. Phlegmatism. Killers of ministry. Council can fall on a phlegmatic mind and attitude. Put it there. It will never move. You can bring a shower, hot water, everything to the world. Yeah, I will be there. It's true, there are many churches. If you don't want to work, put a phlegmatic in charge of it. He'll spoil it for you. Do you think that? The nicest people to relate with are phlegmatics. They're nicest and it's true. How can it be that God made somebody? Nice. The rest of us are evil. That means that. The evil in the. Phlegmatic is hidden, and it's as terrible as the evil in anybody else, and probably more. Deadly because you cannot. See it? You think you are better than me because I'm choleric? And you are the Pleasantino. And because you are phlegmatic, everybody is your friend, everybody likes you. You never offend anybody, you never speak sharply, you never say something that is offensive. So everybody. Likes you, everybody is your friend. Because you are the phlegmatic, coolly flowing along with everything, never ruffling the feathers, never upsetting the the boat. So the friend of all the peacemaker. The. One who flows coolly. How can it be that you were created good? And we were created evil. Hey. How can it be that God selected some people and made them angels? While the rest of us. Were not created with such temperament and were made into. Evil beings, it cannot be true the same. Quantity. Of. Evil is in the phlegmatic, pleasant, cool person that is flowing along. And that evil is. Even more. Dangerous because it is not identified clear, easily and clearly. You see spoiling the check but. You can't see that he's spoiling the check. He's killing me softly. But. You can't see. That he's killing me softly. Sing it killing me. Softly. Lifting my. Pain on his shoulders. And washing. My heart with his blood changing my whole life, with his wife changing my whole life. It's charming, my pain. With his finger. Healing my life with his. Soul. Killing me. Salty with his love killing me, Salty. Killing me. Salty with his soul. My whole life is worth killing me Salty. Killing me softly. You can't see that it's killing you. By it's killing you softly, softly. By it's killing the whole. Church. It's killing the ministry, spoiling. It aborting it, finishing it off by it's happening. Sing it. Again. Yeah. OK, slowly, slowly. But the church is dying. The ministry is finishing, nothing is happening. We are not moving on. It's happening. But meanwhile, you are the friend. Of all you are, the Flowing Brotherhood doesn't get annoyed about anything. Flowing Sister. Friend of everybody, no one is ever annoyed with you, peacemaker, that you are killing us. Healing my life with His love. Killing Me Softly with his song Killing Me Softly. The guy has been killed before that. Hero, that song. Changing. My whole life. I with his words kidding me. So with a song. Come on, how? Strong my pain. With this finger, changing my life with this word. Yeah, it's like this song killing me suddenly with his son changing my whole life, killing me suddenly. So people are. Calling for life to be turned. Off. Strength for leadership? Yeah, the Lord's style. The Lord's method. Babu says. And he said to them, follow me in. This end bus and immediately they followed him and immediately, immediately, not softly schooly, this cost, I mean gradually, gradually spoiling the whole thing, gradual person. And immediately they followed him immediately they left their boss and they left their father immediately. If you like, look and see. Everything that is. Not done immediately is not done. Look at it. Carefully and see it is not. Done immediately. It's not done if it's not done immediately. It's not done. Once and see the things which are not done immediately. And you see, most of the time they are not done. The Lord's style the. Fear of God in leadership. Amen. Are you listening? OK, so gradually we are getting the anointing. Is that no? All right, preaching. You need anointing for preaching. That means you need wisdom on how to preach. Amen. How to preach? One of the most famous one day I was reading a history book about a a pastor and I saw when I read he he read he said that he was a normal pastor or normal preacher or normal Christian He went to a church and he he saw a pastor preaching from a particular base and the. Person's message he was so charged by it he. Had never had. He was quite a a simple face, but an unusual revelation, I decided. Also to preach. From that, historically, I saw that it had changed lives. Yeah. It is the message that has been the most productive and fruitful message I've ever preached when I started to preach it. And that's all. I'll say historically what to do. Amen. What to do is what has been done that worked and what not to do what? What was done that didn't work. Don't do that thing. It's true. Amen. Why do you think I'm studying Napoleon? By the age of 26 he was a general in the army and became the Yeah, Napoleon 26. 26 years old. Became he was a general. And became the commander of France advantage of. 20 so just after that. But by the 26 he was general supreme. Why do you think I'll study that? Because what happened is what will happen and how. It ended is how. It will end and he himself, he was a great student of history and one of the people that he was greatly studying was Alexander the Great, and his life followed a similar pattern and when? Hitler was invading Russia. The main thing that was on their mind was Napoleon, because that's what Napoleon did. That was the same mistake that he made, the same mistake Hitler made, the same thing that caused Hitler. What didn't work for hit? But Napoleon did not work for Hitler. You get it. So, brothers and sisters, there's a lot to learn. How many realize that there's a lot to learn? Are you realizing that there's a lot to learn? You must learn, You must read, you must watch, you must study. And you see studying. Is sometimes can be laborious without understanding what is the relevance of what I'm learning, Yeah. And I learned it from Regina. He said that before he was able to become the prophet that he is, he had to study history for years, he said, laborious, painstaking study of history to know what happened, what happened, what happened, what happened before he became the prophet that he is, that we see him today. Yeah, since then. And he said history is the the original meaning of history was his story, the story of Christ, history, his story. Amen. So, brothers and sisters, history is a very, very, very, very important thing. It will guide. Us it will help us to know what's. Going to happen in West Africa I will say that I'm. Even surprised that there's. No war in Ghana today. Why? Because I just look at the history from Liberia to Sierra Leone to Ivory Coast, the next place should have been Ghana. Yeah, I understand. So when I heard one. There were rebels. Coming to go and I said, hey, is it happening? Do you see? But perhaps in the story of history or in the progression of information, we are, we are not at a certain point where certain things happen. It's just like a Second World War, First World War, Second World War. We are all expecting the Third World War. Are you there? So studying, learning, I believe, is going to really help us. Amen for. Preaching. Amen. Wisdom for preaching. Understanding for preaching. Counsel, advice, knowledge. If you want to preach well, you need to know things. Can't you see how a certain kind of. Light or bulb comes on when I give you knowledge. That you didn't know when I tell you Napoleon was 26. Years old when he became a general. Can't you see that certain type of light comes on? There is a certain type of power and effect that happens when you give knowledge. Yes, I once had some pastors talking on a. Radio station and I could see how empty the way of knowledge it's revealed. When people talk. And that is why. People like to. Listen to people like Queku Baku and others who come there with papers and facts. And read documents in 19 this this happened. And this happened when the people handed over power. This what you did. These are the cars that you are taking this. And everybody wants to hear them because they are men of knowledge with papers and documents and they speak. Yeah, that's why the news from abroad is interesting. Sky News and saying if Michael Jackson dies today, they would tell us knowledge. They tell us his monthly his his yearly expenses is £4 million. His money that he pays to his wife that is divorced $750,000 a year. That's how much he pays to his. Divorced wife. His children are this, this, this and that. This one is from this, this one is like this, this one, I mean all kinds of information. He owes this, he owes this, he owes this. He had this, he had this, he had this. Knowledge changes preaching. Not just Isaiah, tend to Ezekiel. Tend to this is tend to Levitical. Tend to John tend to Roman tend to this. Mussolini. Mussolini, you may. Not know how he came to. Power. But he came to power. He's 1 of hateless friends. He came to power because he was a very good speaker. He was a. Very good speaker. He speak and. The people will listen to him, that's how come he got. Into power in Italy and he became Hitler's friend. Up and down, up and down, up and down. Until the end of the war. He was shot and he and his wife were hung upside down in the in the middle of Italy. Upside down with their legs. Yeah, but you see. Knowing how to talk. And what? To say people can see this. Amount of knowledge. So knowledge for preaching, it's very important. If you don't want to know and somebody wants to know, do you get it? And the person? Gets to know Why should he share everything that he has? Why are you laughing? Why should he share everything that he has? With you who don't want to know anything. He. Has to leave you to be your Well, we don't want to know, you don't care. Do you see or you don't see? Yeah. Strength for preaching. Amen. The Lord's style. For preaching with stories as a Lord's style of preaching Taurus windows, that's anointing for preaching the spirit. Of Jesus the. Spirit of the Lord, the Lord's way. What do you think it's? Possible. It's possible to be a good preacher. It's possible to learn it. It's possible to change how you are. It's possible to improve. It's possible to be better. I know it. Amen. When you look, even in politics, people follow. People can talk. Yeah. No matter what you say about. President Rawlings, is it you? You have his critics will say, oh, he doesn't speak sense. He's confused that I've had people call him everything mentally abnormal, this enough. But he, he is he, no matter what you say he is. He was. He is a better speaker than almost every president that I've ever seen when he stands and speaks. And puts. Aside, the people said the flags and let me say. Whatever, whatever he says, you get it, Minion. Whatever he said. Everybody wants to hear what he's going to say. That's why people follow. So if you just even look at that and you say that, ah, if a man without anointing, without whatever he can speak in such a way that people want to follow him, that how much more a pastor who has the word of God, why doesn't he also learn how to speak in a particular way that will make people focus. Even just the power of talking in a way makes people follow you. The power of talking in a way. Makes people follow. You So why don't you learn how to talk? In a way, why? Don't you practice it? Why don't you practice it? So that you talk in the way that people will follow people with that anointing people follow them and you say you are anointed and nobody's following you. They followed Hitler. You should see. Hitler with his. Speeches. You know German, they don't walk around when they're talking just. Say nothing but you say. Energy. Yeah, so why don't you also learn it? Strength. There's a certain strength, not just shouting. See, there's a way of talking that is strong, but not necessarily shouting. Yeah, I don't. Shout when I'm preaching. Most of the time I don't shout. I just talk. People look at me and say, is this preaching? Is this preaching? Yeah, it's preaching. It also has its strength. It has. Its own style of strength, yeah, so. Why don't you learn how to be 1? Of the good speakers in the world, you can practice it. You know, one of the things that I was really surprised, you know, Michael Jackson. When he died, you know, it made me watch a lot of things that I've been watched for some time. But one of the things that. Surprised me when I. Watched was when they were rehearsing to make the film thriller The Rehearsal. You see him with the girl. You know, he the girl who walks like this, she learned how to walk like that. And you see Michael Jackson practicing how he would dance around her and how he would talk to her and so on. And you see them practicing also. I realized there's nothing that's natural. Everything has. Been practiced. And practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced. There's nothing that's just. Like the person speaks. Just it. Just comes. You you don't want to practice. If I will spend all my time practicing, why should I share what I have gained from my practicing with you? Who doesn't want to practice? To change how you are. Why should I share everything that come to be? Why should I redistribute it? You see, that's a question that the white people are asking. Why should we redistribute our wealth to these people who don't want to rise up and lead themselves and develop themselves, who don't care about their own people? Why should we redistribute the wealth? Why should we bring 10 ships of U.S. dollars to come and pack our Tema harbour for them to redistribute all the money from America into Ghana? Why? Why we wouldn't do it? And that is why the poor. Countries are getting what? Poorer and the richer news are guessing what richer. Don't be angry with them. Oh, don't be angry. With them try. To get understanding and I'm talking. About talking Each of you must learn how to be a charismatic speaker. Hitler, Mussolini, Rollins and whom Obama? Farah Khan Clinton. All these. People who rose. Into. Prominence even after Kennedy, who you see as a whatever speak you should have seen him in a legal in 1983 he led us to close down our university for one year that man, a medical student, he stood on. Top of cafeteria and talked to us and let. Us on the 7th of May. 1983. With Rollins coughing and Rollins effigy to Circle to go and burn it at Circle let all the students and I didn't know what they were doing. I woke up in the morning. So what? There's nobody in the school When I open, when I look out of my room, there was nobody in the school. Everybody. Has gone. Police have. Gone to attack them at Circle and the whole odd body of this person. That was the end of the school for one year. We never reopen again. Yeah. Because of one person who can talk. And then he vanished. He left the country. So speakers. I will not be surprised if he become the president one day. People who know how to talk, they they always get people to follow them. So you, you say by a pastor, you want your church to be full. You won't even study people who preach. You will not practice like Michael Jackson practices that moonwalk that he did. He had somebody teaching and you see him practicing a thing like this, how to do it. He's practicing. But you don't want to practice and the. Person who has practice and has become rich, they should do what? Redistribute all that came to him from his practice? No no no no. Oh you are not getting the point. Why don't you practice preaching? Why don't you rehearse? Why don't you rehearse to change your behavior, your style, your words? Your knowledge I'm talking about. Anointing for preaching, why don't you? Improve what you are. How? You are talking and now you are saying things. Why don't you come out of yourself? The whole of your town will follow you. Yeah, the. Whole of your town your only preaching. Alone is powerful. They're just. Talking, you hear people say. Our Rollins is this. He doesn't talk sense. He doesn't. Give me a break today. President Rollins was to stand for election. All that he will win by 70%. We will all vote for him to come. Yeah. You may not know. That's a fact. It's more popular than all. These people that are they win by 20,000 votes, can hardly win, can hardly win by the skin of their teeth. When he counts and he speaks, Yeah, he. Kept this election. He went to Kaswa and if there's a phenomena, phenomena, he's standing there talking and the people are happy. So you, you, you say you're a pastor. Why can't you make people be interested in what you are saying? Oh, you don't understand what I'm talking about. You are so dull. Gosh, gosh. You are so devoid, you are bereft. You are bereft of excitement. Do you understand? Bereft. You are bereft. Of all terms of. Excitement or happiness of charisma is not there. And you say that you want me to lay hands. I said I won't lay hands on you. I won't. Lay hands on you. What should? I lay hands. On you for go and read some books. Rollins has LED us for 20. Years the country has was after his 20 years leadership. We joined the highest, highest, most indebted poor countries after his leadership and yet if he stands against. I mean, I mean, even though we became the poorest nation on earth or whatever after 20 years of his leadership through his Zaminamina and other whatever, we are going to follow you. We are going to. Vote for you again. Come and save us again so that we become the deepest. Poorest ever possible nation on the whole world. So you. You have the Bible. You have hope. You have powerful things in there. You can't charm anybody. You have the rest of all charisma, all forms of zeal, all energy, all I mean, Oh. Yeah, if you are. All, if you are good speakers, you get it, you'll be invited. Anybody who is famous in ministry is a good speaker. Eastwood, Bishop, Duncan William, anybody who can, who is whatever the person does and he can't to blow ass over people, whatever he first and foremost, he's a good preacher. Now he can't talk. In a way everybody will be charged even if he doesn't say. Sense he will talk in a way so that. Yeah. TDJI mean you name the person so preaching you. Need anointing for preaching? Amen. The lost style, the fear of God for preaching. Amen. Are you listening? I've almost closed. The Miracle ministry. You need your miracle ministry to be affected by the anointing. Amen. So the first one is you need your church growth to be affected by the anointing. The second one you need your leadership to be affected by the anointing. The third one you need your preaching to be affected by the anointing. And the fourth one, you need your miracle ministry to be affected by the anointing #1 you need the wisdom for miracles. Amen. Wisdom which is history when? A mirror? When did? Miracles work. You get it. It is the same time. That it worked for miracles worked. When the people. Are a certain way when they are humble, when they are poor, when they have problems, miracle ministry works and when they don't know you well anytime. They know the pastor. Well, and they begin to know the pastor well. Miracle ministry has ended historically. Historically. Ask our Roberts. As all the healing evangelist whose ministry ended by 1950 and they couldn't do it again unless they were the most diehard people like A Allen. Everybody ended. Yeah, when they know you. Well, look at Bonk. He came to Nigeria in 2000. He had a crusade, 1.6 million people. Then he came back four years later or so, and he had the same crusade. The people didn't come. And they blamed it on Benny. Hinn. Benny have come there and they had. Some programs so Benny Hinn has fall to the ground, but not Benny has not spoiled the ground. Do you see the people? The people know you. They are used to you every time the people are used to you. You cannot easily have so you cannot easily have certain type of miracle ministry. Yeah familiarity, city crowds. So that's why even when we are going. To have a crusade in a city, we are more wary of that crusade than a village. Where the people are poor, we are more comfortable with the poor than with the rich. That's why you not see me in a crowd doing a crusade. The crowd that I have in Abbasi is. Six times the crowd of across 6 times at Crasport Stadium. Anyway, yes, so in a night, Yeah. So you'll not. See me in a Crasport stadium. With this city, people who have watched pastor creation on. Television this. Person on TV this one on this, this and that, that and that. They. Have a certain idea? My oh, Bishop Dark Lighthouse. There's the look. Wisdom for miracle. Understanding for the miracle ministry. Amen. You need to. Understand it that's. Why that book has been written Miracle science and wonders. Some of you want to do miracles, but you need understanding for miracle ministry when you can do a miracle ministry you need once you as you keep you see when I started to have the drive when God told me I've. Given you the anointing for miracles. That's rather. When I started studying, I bought. I remember a particular book I bought called. God the Healer, Christ the healer or God the healer Very difficult to read. All these books are difficult to read. But you see that understanding? Understanding. Understanding, understanding, understanding, understanding wisdom. I started to study. The Lives of. People who ministered healing to understand how were their personal lives When I found how some of the greatest healers died, it gives you a confusing picture. What is the anointing to to do a miracle? Why did Kathryn Kumar when she was so sick, when she was people were being healed. Hey, Allen was so sick. So sick. That's doing miracles. Why understanding? Why? Why you need to understand? That you you stop. You stop right now, so you need. Understanding for the miracle. Ministry. Wisdom. You need information, knowledge, truth. Does God heal? Is it true? That's why I have a book I can show you with X-rays, Miracle services, arteriograms, scans. You see the scan before you see the scan after. I have those books because those books minister truth to me. They minister the spirit of knowledge. That is true. God does do miracles. Miracles. Do happen and I see the miracle and I really genuinely believe that there are miracles cause knowledge has come to me. So knowledge, wisdom, understanding, counsel, advice. Amen. Tell husband advise. Me. So just do it. Don't be spooky. Just go, go, just go. Don't be spooky. Spirit of Jesus, the ministry and the miracles of Christ. For me, when I'm on a miracle crusade, I'm not so interested in healing of hypertension. I'm not so interested in the healing of diabetes. I'm not so interested in the healing. Of. Chemically diagnosed illnesses. I'm more interested in the miracles that Jesus had. The healing of a madman, the healing of bleeding, the healing of blind eyes, the healing of a deaf and dumb, the widowed hands, the bent over, the cripple. This is what I'm interested in. And the raising of the dead. That's the style that was the pattern of Jesus. These are the sicknesses that were notably recorded amongst others. Amen. Are you? Listening. OK, so the miracle ministry affected and the fear of God, Amen. So I believe that we are blessed. Stand to your feet, everybody. Father, we are thanking you for your great. Blessing in Jesus name. Amen. Ask God for this spirit of wisdom understanding in Jesus name, Amen. None. The. Hallelujah. Father, thank you for your blessing in Jesus name, Amen. Sit down, please. For six. Hours and come back at what time 6530 OK is that good enough for you? Workable. OK so 7 hours. I believe we are taking every 7 1/2 hours. So by 536 latest we are on the way. Welcome Bishop Saki to and the baby. Praise the Lord all. Right. So like. Bishop said. We, we, we need to be able to, we are closing early so that we can have enough rest. It's not chatting till 1:00 AM and then sleeping at 2 and come in and then with 30 minutes into the preaching in the morning or you're falling asleep. If there's a lot of sleeping, Bishop will stop preaching. Do you follow whatever you're saying? So really take a rest, sleep early and those of you from town, the bus will leave by 5:15 because you've got about 30 minutes to get here. Then we are here and then we shall start preaching. Exactly. I said by the grace of God, you start preaching, but kindly sleep early. Don't spend all the evening talking or making calls or whatever. And then you end up then the the the purpose. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
