Welcome to track #5 of break forth and become who you can become. Is there anybody who can link this point to your personal life that you have not been able to change or you have changed? Patrick, stand up and tell us. Look, if I want to have a big church, if I want to have a big church, I'll have to do some major changes in my life. Me. Yeah, Major. If I want to have one church, big church, I'll have to do major changes in my life. It's true. And I will have to change some things that I'm doing. I don't know whether it would change the human being, but it will be a little unnatural. It's like for me, I don't believe that. I don't believe that money is something that you should work for. I don't. I don't believe that money is something that your mind should be on, riches, those kind of things. I'm not. I'm not like my wife told me the other day that if I was an unbeliever I would be a socialist. And I said, why? She said, oh, socialists are sometimes you see that they come from rich families, but they have concerned with the poor and common people and so on and they fight for the causes of such things to redistribute the wealth of people. They always want to redistribute the wealth so that everybody gets the same thing gets a lot. That's what she told me. She said, oh that's how that all the NDC people, PNDC that is their socialists are Hoys and Chicatas and all those these all socialist type of philosophies and the lawyers and they're all socialists, Marxist and socialists share every, everyone should have some. And I have one person who has so many, so much. You get it anyway. In today's current. Big churches, you need to be a certain way financially. Pray for the people. I mean, dressing has needs, preaching financially, preaching a certain way about the problem because the people are so affected by the financial realities of the world today. It would be a major thing for me. I'll have to be undergo a major vessel change. So I've left it. I cannot do it. You get it? Yeah. You say you have changed. Hurry up, Hurry up, Hurry up. Hurry up, my beloved. I think I want. Microphone, all right, can't take this in the meantime, all right. Hallelujah. Yeah, I think I was very phlegmatic many years ago. Very, very phlegmatic. I was melancholic, phlegmatic. But after I got in touch with Bishop and began following, I think I've changed radically from what I used to be. And yes, I'm much more colleague. And I was talking to some friends once and they asked me what am I and I said phlegmatic. They said no, they don't think so any longer, you know, And I think that's it's to do what I've had to do. I had to become choleric. I had to force people to comply. I had to fight issues. I had to persist. I had to be strong against people who are my friends. I had to do a lot of things which naturally I would not have done. I'd have been a very easy going, peaceful, love everybody, accept everything, fluid everything kind of person but. Why did you detect the changes in your life? How did they come? I think it came on me. I don't remember changing. I remember following. I told Bishop once that I'm a very good follower, not a very good leader, he said. That makes me a good leader because I just try and cut and paste what I see, try and obey as much as I can. And I think in the process the flag went out and the colorism came in. So the flag out out completely. Is almost gone. It comes at home. Yeah, I think at home my wife is calling. She thinks about the house. At home. I let the boys have the always. I think after fighting at church. But I come home. I'm coming to rest. I see. All right, Yeah, there's a hand here. OK. First, Edwin. I just wanted to make a quick point about the fact that the phlegmatism has gone totally. I have recently experienced a phenomenon in my church where the the shepherd who's had the smallest amount of sheep. I give this person a very large ministry, but she has used her collarism to destroy the entire ministry. You see? And I think we need to also, I mean put things into perspective because Bishop is not just a collaric doing things. He sometimes phlegmatizes things. He is melancholic. So when we also stereotype leadership in terms of collarism, we are making a mistake. I think that it's a it's a big mistake. This, this, this shepherd is a strong choleric, you know, strong choleric. Sorry, no, I think she's error and the ministry is false. The members have left, they say she doesn't talk well, she speaks very harshly, doesn't relate well and so on. So there is an aspect of choleraism which I believe is good for leadership, can build things, but not for me. This is just something I've seen recently that you can really be a choleric and things can still collapse in your and that is not Bishop really OK? Very good. So for yourself, no, no, no, wait, wait. Keep it Isaiah. Vessel doesn't change as a vessel. My experience is the same. In fact, I was going to say that he also said the same thing. I am a phlegmatic melancholic or melancholic phlegmatic naturally. But for some time now I I mean I was also with my shepherds and I asked them what they saw me to be and all of them without without exception said I was psychologist. In fact, they could not believe that I was saying to my to them that I, I'm a phlegmatic, melancholic this. But one of them said they think that church is too militarized. You know, I mean, I mean the same experience and I think it just comes from associating. But I was just making this point so that we don't really. I think that the fact that first Edwin was chased the armed robbers, he was able to reverse his car full speed, phlegmatic. Nobody would have given his car to them and gone away. I think that the vessel is trying to change. He reversed 6 armed robbers with cars. He reversed over, over. Ramps came around, they couldn't catch him. And then he got to him and called that. He has handled from everywhere. Dan Roberts took somebody's car and then he went to his car and then he was able to reverse. He's changed. The vessel has changed. I tell you. All right. Yes. Yeah. Big D. I also feel that I have experienced some amount of change. I was not aiming at deleting phlegmatism when I when I, when I was doing it and when I did a temperament test, I was melancholic, phlegmatic. And in in doing what I do most of the time I just asked myself what will Bishop do? So in a lot of ways I tried to do things the way he would do things. So for example, if the Mason has to break a wall, he has to break it now. If they have to plaster a wall, they have to plaster it in the night. We will plaster it now. So I realized that I remember once I was, I had a pastors meeting. There was an issue and I was saying that if Bishop was in this meeting, he would ask the person pointedly about the issue. So I also asked him said, do you know that you, you are this, you are that, you know, and I just do it because I tried to picture what he does and I do and just class, you can ask somebody what, what do you think I am? And he said, oh, me, I'm melancholic, choleric, That's all. I, I, I don't think so. But anyway, so I, I, I think I've experienced a certain change because by just trying to do what I think, what will Bishop do? And then I'll do something. My wife would say, I see this, what this is Bishop and I'm doing something, you know, like that. So I think that it's also a way of changing ourselves to become. We are still on the way of changing. Yeah, I think these are good examples, you know, And I think what Doctor Ogo said is right because I'm also phlegmatic. Yeah, I also have phlegmatism in me. There are a lot of things that I behave as if I don't know about it and I haven't seen it. Yeah, choleric has to change phlegmatic, develop some phlegmatism. In fact, I I remember. I. Remember I was, I was having a meeting a couple of years ago and I pastor Andy Blankson because he was with me in first in term. So he looked at me and said revenue have changed, you know, that's why. So I mean, these days I'll just overlook. I wouldn't say anything more forgiving. I wouldn't comment accommodating. And I know that that is actually the case, you know. So I think that for me as a cleric, I also needed to make that change, you know, to have people around me, to grow the church, you know, to be more loving, more forgiving and all that. So it's. Yeah, that's why he was not saying Pastor James, this thing he went to sleep at non computer, he's studying here like magical. It's a climatic change, you get it. So. So I feel that the key is that. I think the key is that you need to know who you are and then make a change the. Problem is that some people are not accepting who they are. They don't accept it. You talk, I said. No, no, no, no. I am not this, I am this. And if they even accept, OK, I'm phlegmatic or they don't accept the negative aspects of it, that OK, I am slow. How many people will say I'm I'm very slow, You don't? Get it? Some as oh, I am slow, I'm down then nobody says I'm down. I'm slow, you see. But that's what you have to. When you say it, you will see that it will change because as soon as you diagnose, diagnosis, it's 80% of solution. Yeah. Why you say I'm slow? Right before you realize. Slowness will be identified very quickly saying it has come. The thing has come immediately now let's check. Do we are doing it now? Plaster the wall now, because I know that I'm slow. As soon as you say it on, it has to die in your life. That's the way it dies now as well. You don't say, Oh yes, I'm phlegmatic, but you know, listen. You have to say I am this. There it goes. Anything that you order is bad. Say it clearly, especially to God, and you'll be surprised the. Bad aspect of you will go, but as long as we live in denial, denial, denial, denial, denial, the preaching is coming, but it does not enter you in particular. So pragmatics you have to be able to say. You know I am a slow. Person. So I'm going to go by the immediate response policy from today, immediately, anything, even though naturally I would have waited for a week, I would have waited for two weeks from today. My policy is that without understanding, I'm going to do it. Now. If you've been with me, you'll be talking with me, you'll be telling me something. Now you see that I've taken my phone. Have you seen it before then? Then if you have to call Brazil, I'll go. Then. I don't wait for any any time again. Right now I have to do it. I don't want to wait at all. That's the normal choleric behavior, and I may have to let the phlegmatic one to allow because that one too has is dangers. There are some things you don't have to do immediately. It's very dangerous to do them immediately. Servant Hood henceforth. So the first step to the receiving anointing is vessel change. So that so that what? So you can carry it? Yeah, you can carry it. So don't sacrifice your ministry on phlegmatism, cholerism choleric. Choleric can easily not elect a church group. To me. I don't think a choleric can make a church very big. Sanguine is very good for the church to grow, and phlegmatic it's very good for the church to grow. But wait. But that is different from making the church to be built. To. Lay the foundation. You can't use phlegmatism like Matheson. Collarism is what will make you engage the people fight to 'cause that thing to exist. Then after that it grows. You need to be if you take up to the when I see the people in the Kodak and you just have to stay with them for years problem that never change, marriages that never are solved, situations that never change. You just play with them coolly that you don't react. You don't react, you just flow because it won't. You know it will not change. So you just when they tell you, listen, you want bishops. You're listening to the meanwhile, he said. He suddenly said that it will never change, and he's not. He said that I've seen him doing so many times. Are you? Testing is very, very dangerous, I tell you. Meanwhile, it is in his head or that the things do not change and he'll be it's true, OK. So there's, there's, there's the choleric, the building causing it to exist, you know, especially the rice, you know, But then they stay with human beings who just stay and live with you for a longer. Without ruffling them up too much, do you get it? That one is phagmatism that you need. So actually that's. What I'm saying that it. Cannot be that God created all of us, then phagmatic alone were left with only good. Aspects I cannot be. We cannot accept that. We all have evil paths. Yeah. But only that the phlegmatic one has been hidden for a long time because they are the coolest. In fact, in the temperament books they write that they are the ones who can easily not be saved because of self righteousness. Yeah. They are the ones who can easily not be converted and easily not change because of self righteousness. Yeah, yeah. They don't get they can easily not be called because they know they are good people. They're easy going, they flow with everybody. They don't get annoyed. They just move around. It's like, oh, don't worry, you can be married to the most busily person. They just flow along like, oh, it's OK. God, God, God, God, God is in control, you know, and. They just flow along. So they and they are very stubborn. So that's what I'm trying to. Reveal the evil that is in phlegmatics, because so far they have been, they have been the Mr. Correcto Perfecto amongst us. And now we are not going to accept that again. We are all the same. What do you think? Yeah, we cannot accept that you are not better than the rest of us. Amen. Servants Hood. Look. At the signs of a servant. A servant has a master because it's servants that catch the anointing. Amen. Servants who catch the anointing. You need to make yourself a servant. Now the principle of being a servant is the reason why the the the more the age. Gap. Between the anointed person and the person who is trying to receive the anointing, the more the age gap, the cultural gap, the sociological gap, any kind of gap, financial gap, any gap. Higher and longer, the more the gap is, the more that person easily becomes anointed. Yeah, that's why you may more easily catch an anointing from an American than a fellow Ghanaian or a brother Nigerian. Yeah, because your fellow Nigerian, you may even feel that he's lower than you. Yes, he made me feel that he's. Below you, how can a river flow upwards? How can the river flow upwards up a hill? Have you seen one before? No, it only flows down. So the lower, the further down the river, The thing is, the more the river flows stronger down to that direction. Yeah. So the greater the gap you get it between the people. That's what makes you more. Of a servant. And so it is servants who catch the anointing. And that is why I'm Reverend Maquisi, the one who died, yeah, he gave his coat or his whatever to his house help before he travelled. And he said this is for you or whatever. And he died and his house up is the one who has a big church today travelling all over the world because a servant whose club was polishing the shoes. You see, the servants are the people that catch the anointing. All through the Bible you find out that it's servants who catch anointing. Joshua, the servant of Moses, Peter, James and John were servants of Christ. You. Understand. And today it's not practical for many of us to be practical servants, But that thing we all try to do, let me carry a Bible, Let me do this. Very few people. How many bubbles can one person have? And through that excessive trying to be servant by carrying a Bible, I personally have lost Bibles. That's why I don't like people to carry my things for me. I don't like it and it's not a sign of humility to me. You get it. So there are other ways you can be a servant to the person. Because a servant ministers to the person who is your master and. One of the way you can minister is by sowing seeds into the person who does not need your money, which again is an act of faith and. An act of humility because otherwise ask you, how can you minister to me? How can you minister to me? What? What can you do for me? What can you do? What? What do I need from you? Do I need you to? To to Polish my shoe. It doesn't. My shoe doesn't need polishing. Do I need you to iron my shirt? It does not need ironing. Do I need you to wash something? Nothing. I don't need you. So how can you ever be a servant? To the master How? On this earth, when will. You get a child to be a servant. How many people can ever have such an opportunity? In today's practical world? You will never have the chance to be a servant. But the Bible says the women who follow Jesus, they ministered to him of their substance, of whatever they had, they ministered it to him. And that is what a servant, a servant ministers to the master, washing hands, doing this, doing this, doing that. And one of the ways you can minister is by ministry of your substance. You sow seeds even though the person does not need it. You don't stop by what the person needs you. Cannot be money as a leader and wise enough not to conduct my financial affairs so that I will need you. I don't conduct my financial affairs in such a way that I will need you or depend on you for your seed or for your offering. I've conducted my financial affairs such a way that I'm independent of whether you give me seed or no seed. I should sit down and wait for you to give me seed and nose. What? About the year that you forget it has happened to. Me more than once you see people that sow seed and a particular time nobody sow any seed. I don't know. Do not plant any seed in your life or sow any seed or do anything. What do? You do then. I don't don't think that I'm a fool to to conduct my life. And no pastor should conduct his life in a way that you are sitting now expecting. Ah, it's Galatians 16, so I'm expecting. Oh, it's my birthday, so I'm expecting. What about the day? The day that they don't remember. You. No, but I'm telling you it is a spiritual thing. It's a spiritual thing, so everyone here must learn. You cannot be a servant. You cannot. You cannot iron my shirt. You cannot iron Creflo dollar shirt. His shirt is being ironed in another way. Maybe his shirts are disposable when he wears. Why he doesn't wear it again, you don't even know. Disposable shirts? Yeah, because all these guys are millionaires. Maybe he doesn't iron his shirt. How many people can iron a man of God's shirt? How many people can pour water on his hand in this whole world? Does it mean? What does it mean? So you must learn to be a servant because servants become anointed in the Bible. Link it to your life. Link it. How can I be a servant? You. How can Chris stand up? You and King Taboo? How can you be a servant to me practically? Have you ironed my shirt before? Have you polished my shoe before? Have you washed my clothes before? Have you cooked food for me before? How can you be my servant So? Lincoln Practically, since it is servants who get anointed, how can you be a servant, have you thought, in Kintampo? How can you be a servant to somebody who is a master to you and ever become? And have you thought about it in Kintampo? You stand up in which country? St. Lucia. How can? You be a servant in England. How much is your ticket from here to Saint Lucia? $2500 to come and wash my hands and go back when I need to wash my hand. You buy a ticket 2500. Dollars to come and wash my hands. What expensive washing of hand is this? So practically link it to your life. Can you be a servant to me? Is nobody answering the question? Somebody should answer the question. Somebody else. Not him. Anybody else. Andy. Huh. How can you think this man is in Toulouse? Anytime I wash my want to wash my hand he has to. Buy a ticket to come. It's not possible, Bishop, unless he sows seeds into your life and ministry. Why, Why? Why should he sow a seed to my life? Because he's a servant. What are the servants sowing of seeds? It's a farmer who sow seeds, not a servant. Financial seeds blessing you put money in a. That's what I said. That is a that is a farmer. It's farmers who sow. Seeds, Minister ministering to you, ministering to me of his substance, of his substance of his money. His ministering to me the word money money money money is is money in the Bible substance that is your money. OK. I believe servants also takes instruction from the master, so however far they are, if they are close enough to be taking instruction, knowing that the instruction that is coming is is affecting their lives. I think it's also one way of becoming a servant because servants take daily continuous instruction from their masters in what they are doing. OK, it's good, it's correct. And you think that by ministering yourself of your substance. But he is saying something else. So which of you is right? Who is raising the hand on the back? Tingabo. A servant is at the beck and call of his master and one of the ways that we are called to come is through the camps, through meetings and all. So it should be in our interests if we want to be servants, no matter how far we are to do whatever it is possible to come here. Maybe Bishop will not call us directly, but for example, this campus is a kind of call and then it's an experience. I also want to share that's has to do with a servant ticket instructions. When I was in Dakar, we received, I see an e-mail that we should learn the languages, those of us who are in foreign lands. I mean, sorry, non anglophone countries learn the languages and Reverend Lee sent me that e-mail. He said, which is stand in front of the mirror and speak the language for 30 minutes, speak to us ourselves. And I tried it once and I I said this thing hi to some way I feel funny. I feel like a full size stopped. And then oh, it came to Accra. I think I was with Pastor Henry and then Timmy Bishop took us to his house and I asked you encouraging us we should learn the language. Stand in front of the mirror. When he said that, my heart smote me because I I, I realized that I was actually disobeying an instruction that came directly from him. And I've not been, I thought. The instruction had come from Pastor. And I, yes, and because of that, if, if I had thought it was coming from you, I'd have fought that funny feeling and then followed through to do it. Mercy. Indeed, mercy for you indeed. For you. You see, this is a very good example of dealing with delegated authority. So you think that the person is just talking and not knowing that the person because that instruction is very specific. I am the one who said it. Stand in front of the mirror. Daniel, have I not told you the same thing? And many people who are in the front stand in front. I've told you directly, stand in front of the mirror. And preach in the language for 30 minutes twice a day. I gave it like medicine. Twice a day you stand and take the message that you are going to preach. Read the first preach, give the examples and everywhere you get stuck, you check it every day, 30 minutes, this, this, this, like that till you are perfect. Practice like Michael Jackson was practicing trailer until it was perfect. Then he made the video. And in America alone, he saw 60 million of that thing. Isn't that fantastic, you see? So advisor would have made you an anointed minister in a Francophone country. But you see, the spirit of council is rejected. And then you say, I listen to the table. I'm not receiving the anointing because the spirit of council came back straight back. Do you preach in French? Pardon. Have you heard this history? You do. And then? And the prayer in French? Yeah. No. Have you heard this instruction? Preach in 30 minutes in front of the mirror? I have. I've tried it I've. Tried it, tried it, that's what. I've not done it confidently in church yet. You've tried it before? No, no, no, no, no. Have you been preaching? No, I've tried it before. So you see, so when you are not being becoming great and mighty and spreading like a big, big tree in Cameroon, they said Air Bishop is because we have a lot of money. They say, yeah, you are dissonant. No, it's not true what I told you to do. You get it? You don't do it, you see? Same thing you say. Pardon. No, no, no. I tell you directly when I came with my people, yeah. Because to me, if I'm in Ghana and I speak Japanese and my language is Japanese, and everybody in Ghana speaks English or chi, and my ministries in Japanese translated into chi or Japanese translated in English. How? Big. Of a church do you think I will have with my Japanese language into Chi or Japanese into English? Do you think I'll have a big? Church. How many think I will not have a big church? So it's the same thing for somebody who is in a francophone country whose main language is English. You cannot flow, you cannot speak French, flow in the language. Do this, say this. Speak to the people preaching it, talk to them, chat with them in the language that is used. Normally in that country, how do you think you ever have a thriving mega large ministry in church I mean. It cannot be possible, so when I send it to you. Back to sender, you see. Then we come and we sit at a camp preaching, preaching and. I should lay my. Hand on you. I will not lay my hand. I'll put my hand in my pocket. It's. True, you say. Bless me, Bishop. Pray for for us. This and that and that. It's not true. It's a fact. You get it? Yeah. Sit down. Are you? Guys listening to me every in every look and. One of the things is that you think about it in every sphere, who is the microphone in every sphere or every field, you know, there's always someone little bit of advice. If you're going to do something, somebody say no, this thing, there's this. If it's transport business, the transport. Experience will say park your car. And go and come. That's all. This is the only advice I can give. But you see you, you think. In your case is different. Somebody's exporting, OK, don't export them in April, May, June, July. But I will not have any work to do so OK, you export and then see. So you are doing transfer, you're going to hire a taxi. One day I saw somebody and I was, I was trying to advise him that he shouldn't do a taxi business, but I realized that he didn't believe what I was saying. So I. Bought a taxi? For him and I gave it to him, I myself bought it. I said take it one day he went to where he was there. No, but then somebody came to knock him from the back, so they came. Then the car was not on a brake, so the car was passed from the back and then rushed to hit. The car in front. So the car became like sandwich. Yeah, so. He came and told me that the car says, oh go to insurance. Well you do have insurance so go to court. Can't get the insurance and follow the tire so later. After abandoned our whole. Taxi business one day, I said, I'll get, I'll get another, you can do another. I said, well, I don't like taxi business because. The first time I wanted to say don't do this business, but I see the people don't believe it. Why you tell them they? Don't. Believe it. Are you listening? Yeah, then Kinshasa stand up. Can you preach in French? You see, it will be better that you you leave soon from Kinshasa. If you are not going to be able to flow in the French, it will be better that you leave soon that you stay. There and Bishop, you see, it's difficult to have a vessel change me. Like if you send me to francophone country, I say I beg you. I cannot go because I cannot learn the French. I cannot. I know what I cannot do. I've done French up to, from from three. I did it up to from three. I know what I cannot do. Do you get it? I know what I cannot do. So I know language. Do you get it? I was struggling. So much it's like typing. That's why I don't learn how to type because the practice that I will need for the typing. And how many things I'll be typing. You get it For a long time, of course. I've been to typing school before. When I finished eleven, I went to sight and sound. For one year. I went to study typing. How you put your finger, dude, all this is. But when you don't practice it, you lose it. Language is the same. Don't practice it, you lose it. I. Used to speak fluent German. Fluent. I speak fluent German. So when I listen to hitless speeches and I understand some of the things that they are saying, like you should speak German fluently, like you see, when you don't use the language, it goes away. You get it. So I'm telling you that's why I don't know. But I can tell you if you are not there, my brother, if you are not going to speak French. And how old are you? 39 So if you are too. Old. To speak French, identify yourself early so that I send a younger person like Thinkabo Thinkabo stand up, tell us in advise him in French to speak French. I'll give him give him microphone and explain to him why I speak out. Come on, who is the microphone owner? Hello. Yeah. De parle de precis and Francais pasquet. Anglophone dozen Franco phone Francais Francais. OK, Emma. Emma, stand up. Can you speak? What is can you speak like what is you speak French. You preach in French. Is is that your wife sitting by you? Yeah. What is the main language of the of the country? Yeah, you are in giving the microphone. What's the main? You, you. What's the main? And you don't preach in that language, you see. How do you think you will become? Whatever, whatever, whatever. It's not going to happen no matter how many thousand tapes you listen to and how much you love and how at the back end call, you come and you run and all that. The spirit of counsel has bounced off your head. It has bounced off and it has gone back. You get it? Yes, Sir, there. Is nothing you can say that can change what I am saying, the truth of what I am saying? Because if I say that's why I say if I speak Japanese and my main language is Japanese and I'm having a church in Japanese translated to chi or translated to English, how? Many people do you think I can have in my Japanese church in Accra. Doctor, go. Am I saying something unusual? Yeah. Bishop Eddie, I think you need to. Do you speak Swahili? Come stand up. You. Speak Swahili. You don't preach in Swahili, but you preach in French, but you speak it, huh? Say it well, I. Speak it with my people, but I I haven't started do. They need to speak in Swahili. The churches that are working in Tanzania, do they speak English or Swahili? They speak Swahili but some also speak English but most of them speak Swahili. You. Want to have a large ministry? The whole of Tanzania will be coming to your door. You want it. What I am saying is something that is true it. Cannot be changed by your life and whatever situation you are in and whatever you are saying so Master Ben. If it's a problem, it would be better for you to see it early, you see, because God doesn't want you to fail like me. If you transfer me to a Franco, I would say I beg you. The. Language is a. Problem for me to learn the language. I know myself. I know what I can learn. What I cannot learn the language. I think I'll find it difficult to learn. Do you get it? Yeah, Because I'm in Ghana. I cannot speak properly. I cannot speak Ghana properly. I cannot speak away properly. And I've been in Ghana for almost 50 years. How much more if you send me to a French speaking country for five years or something? I've been here for 15 years. I've not been able to learn it. If I have to preach it, you have to practice age. I'll be in the house practicing the tree. And I'll have somebody sitting there to listen to me. When I say the person who corrected, I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll correct it. I'll be in the house. I'll do rehearsalsa every day. I'll do rehearsal. Just me in the room. I'll speak it out. I'll do it. I'll do, I'll do something. 30 minutes, one hour. Practice. Practice, but that's what. I'll do when I come and say, oh, you. Should see you are very intelligent, you know the way you are able to just take languages and something. I'll look at you. You don't want to practice. You don't. Want to rehearse and you want me when I have? Practice and rehearse, and it has benefited me. You want me to do what? Redistribute. I will not and I will not lay hands on you, because the anointing that God used me to send to you, it came back. I hope you are enjoying the camp. Uh huh. Pastor Ben, you, you get what I'm saying? If you live 1000 years, if you live for 100 years and what I'm saying is not following you, you cannot have that's you are a Japanese pastor in Kinshasa. That's what you are. Because when you go to a country, everybody, nobody here speaks French. When you go out and you speak French, OK, What are you saying? What are you saying? We don't speak French here. We do not speak French here. We speak English. Just have to cross from a. Little bit now that nobody speaks English again, it's. It's amazing. Yeah. I mean, just to give an example of what Bishop is saying, the Ukraine example, if you go there, you have the white people themselves having big, big churches. But. There are people who don't come from there and there are three people, one Ghanaian, 1 Zimbabwe, one Nigerian who have churches of thousands of people. And these are people who speak their language. And they, they've lived in their place, adapted to their culture, studied their language and ministered and minister in their language. And their ministries have become very, very, very large. You know, everything that they do is in their language. And so that people can relate with them. They know their culture, you know, and it, it makes sense. And that's why they are blessed, you know, and that is that I'm sure that have been different if they had lived there for 20 years and tried to minister in English, you know, through an interpreter. Yeah, French speaking. Say it. There's no big French. Speaking church in Ghana, although there are French speaking churches there's I mean without French church, maybe the biggest in Ghana, about 200 people, but there's no although they're French speaking churches in Ghana, but. Have you heard of it? A pastor who speaks French escape and that's he's speaking out, built a big church, he speak the main language he speak is French and he's interpreted to English. And that's exactly what you are trying to do. That's the same thing you are trying. Just transpose it the other way and you come. And then your father gives you a die, but how it come down and you want him to also have a car finished the way fish everybody will line up, take oil be pouring out. Look, the thing has already bounced off your head. That's already bounced off your outpouring of oil. And Leon, it's not going to do anything to you. And I will not. I will not, I will not, I will not. All the French country people stand up, George. So you are hiding, you see. You. Are hiding, George, you preach in French. No, Bishop, yeah. You have been in Cameroon for how many years? Seven years? You don't speak. You don't preach in French. Is it? It's not that You are not. I'm not. I wish I'm not. You are Bishop. If I could have a girl like either to sing. For me, then my ministry, you. Need a knock? A knock? A Knock on Your Head 7. Years you've been there, you don't speak, you don't preach in the language that's. Why I said that when I watched Michael Jackson practicing. I wish I could have brought. I brought that. I could have brought that thing. To show you you. See, I mean that thing which it's so like when he went to England to do a tour. For. The whole year it was at the top of the charts, it maintained it was at the top, top, top, top. He was. Miller said no. There will never be any album ever that can ever be like that trailer thing that he made. And long before he came out with a video, there were everyone was expecting. There's a video, there's a video that is coming and you see them. Practicing. It was not called Trail Light, it was called Starlight, Starlight, Starlight. That was the song. Then they changed it or. Whatever, if we change it and they show how the whole thing progressed. And you see them practicing. You see Michael Jackson walking around the girl, and you see the girl, she looks even different from how she looks in the film. She looks so different, she said. They are practicing. They keep on playing. The white man was coaching them the White House. OK, go. A white man who cannot dance. He's the one who has. Been employed. As a referee to. Teach. Dancers how to dance. And the person who cannot do is telling them that I cannot be. But I'm telling you to speak French. It's just too fantastic. It's just too fantastic, you know, So that's if you preach in French a few times. So how many big churches in Ghana? That's what I said. You either change your identity completely to frame where people cannot know your origins of Ghana. They will not even know your origin that you come from Ghana. I speak French. I'm from here. That is it. Spirit of wisdom, Spirit of understanding W Wisdom, understanding, counsel might knowledge, fear of the Lord and the Spirit of the Lord 7 Wisdom, understanding counselor advice. I was pretty lost that counsel is advice, advice, and as I began to think, advice. Advice. So yeah, how many times have you given people advice and have you told do this, do this. You can see so clearly even what I'm saying. Does it not even sound so silly to you? Somebody, you are a Japanese speaker. Why don't you even learn English and be an English speaker already? Your eyes and your face are going to hinder the ministry before the language that you are coming to speak in Japanese you understand. Yeah. And you are going to spend your own life preaching in that and you don't want to practice. And I thought I sent a message, 30 even in 30 minutes. Let me tell you, let me be honest with you, I would not even practice for 30 minutes. If it's OK, I would practice for three hours in the morning. And I'll practice for maybe one or two hours in the afternoon in French. I'll be in my house. OK, I said, and I'm coming to do a miracle service, then I'll lift up. And I used to do. It But you see, I'm not a singing type. Even when I was playing this room, I'll play this room. I don't sing, which was not a good thing. But when I was today to have miracle service, you should have seen me in my room. I used to practice singing. I'll beat them. I remember the carpet. I'll listen to the tape reverse. I'll start again. Then I'll practice how to lead the worship. I'll tell rehearsal. There are a lot of things you see. I've rehearsed rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal. Before I come out and come and do it, it's. All natural to me. And you want to be me. I have done rehearsal. You don't want to do rehearsal. And when I benefit and you want me to take what and benefit and redistribute it to everybody. Oh. Please, I will not do that. I will not do that. I will not do that even. With the way the. Way I am logical and the way I think in a certain way I'm. Not this type of who, this spirit. I have to learn all those things. I have to learn something that is unnatural, unnatural to me. That's not how I am. And. You want to you want to say we have been listening to the tape, but we have not got you, Bishop, you taught us that we should listen to tape. We catch that. We have listened to the tape, Sir. We have not received nothing. Or math like tomato, because you have received the spirit of cancer, but you rejected it. Spirit of wisdom, what to do? You have rejected it. You have rejected all these things. They've been coming to you, but you reject them. Yeah. And then we are there at square 1. Received while Bishop was preaching and I I saw like a hill which was very dry and where we're standing was like very dry desert area with one or two sprouts of plants. But behind the hill was a very green field. And I felt a lot saying that that mountain is like what he's saying. It's like we need to When we obey, it will be like that mountain will be removed because where we are standing is just few sprouts of grass that we can see, but behind it is a large field of green grass. OK, sit down. Who is pious? Do you speak French? Do you preach in French? I. Preach in French, Bishop, I think because I did. Francophone. Yes, you think? Because I. Did French in school, that's why I'm throwing in a French so. Yeah. It's possible that, I mean, naturally you may find it easier to obey something that advice that has been given because that is what you what you did. Yeah. The language of the country is French. The language of the country is not English. No matter how many years you've been, it hasn't changed that whole country. If you have gone as a missionary, you must be total. When I was in Kiev or when I was in Ukraine, this is the guy speaking the language. I mean, we couldn't. We couldn't even believe. This guy pretending I. Mean he's singing I am the law that he's seen it in Ukrainian and as he's singing it, oh you are the law that is all is in Ukraine. He's worship everything white. There is no black. Man in the church. Absolute not a word of English. Not even a single word. Let's talk about being missionaries. It's mannerism. Everything is from that place and he has even married one of them. That's also another level of, of, of a missionary work. You marry one. I see. Now, do you speak French? I speak a little. A little, yes. So that is why we are saying become who you can. Become or become who you cannot become. Do not become what you can want to become. Its up to you. I cannot when I live for 1000 years and every time Pastor Richard takes an offing, I carry the offering and bring it to Ben in Kinshasa. Who refuses to learn how to speak French, who will not do the rehearsal, who will not do whatever I said. I should rather let Pastor Richard use the money to do something for himself instead of. Struggling in a certain way? I don't want that. Anymore. You. Get what I'm saying? That's why I said the season has changed. The season has changed. That's why we actually support those who are doing well more. If you are doing well, your church is working, that you are more likely to be giving a lot of money to help you. If your church is not working, I'm not likely to be giving money to help you because something you are doing is not working and that thing will continue after you get the money. What do you think? Is it true? It's not true. OK, Don't say now, Philip, do you speak French? Are you preaching in French? Is it not sad that all are Francophone countries and you are who? And you are where? Togo. Yes. Do you speak French? A little. Oh no. You preach in French fully. OK Danielle, you are going to Ibry coast. Can you learn how to speak in French? Will. You practice in the morning. Like. Michael Jackson practiced. Will you? Will you learn from him? Ma'am Yesi, you speak preach in French, No? But. Where is Sam? He didn't come. Why he couldn't come? Cash. No cash. It's unfortunate. Does he preach in French? He's bilingual. Your country is bilingual. OK. I'm sorry. In your case, it's different. Sorry. OK, I understand. OK, so just carry on doing that. Let's carry on doing that. Yeah, just carry on doing that. What about you? You don't speak in French. You see it? Might as well just close down your mission. That's why we say we will not send any more money there. You can't make it. Just return. You get it? True or not true? What do you think? That's why missionary work. You. You send young people, the old people that we've sent, it's not been easy for them. Most of them cannot do it because you need youthfulness. I mean, to learn, Charlie. So Ben, what are you saying? You try and learn it so. Don't expect even have anybody who sends even just half a dollar to Kinshasa to help them. I don't want to place a case, but almost almost. You cannot support something that would try. You see what you are not even believing what I'm saying because either you are going to fully, fully, fully. Know how to speak French and be fluent in French or you should not do the vision you should move to. Kenya or some other place where the language will be better so that you can flow immediately that. Is the reason why I feel discouraged from preaching because I'm saying the same things even just in the same meeting this one is giving us? Anybody. Who hears the word Cameroon knows the word French? You know immediately that it's true, that it's bilingual. It's bilingual. It is far more French. Language you are giving. Reasons This one says he's going to try. This one is giving reasons we should send money there. Next one, sit down, sit down. The next one receiving a father. Struggles are bound for orphans, is that not so? Struggles are bound from for orphans. Amen. Anybody who calls me Daddy or Papa, think very carefully before you call me that, because it's only out of politeness. I don't correct some of you. If I get you in the right context, I will rebuke you. Yeah, you can call me your father if I am really your father, but it's not a title. Yeah, you can call me your father if I saw a title. My name is not Papa or Daddy. That is not my name. So don't don't take it as a name in the church. It's not a name. Don't use it as a name. Daddy. Yes, Daddy or yes, Papa? No. You get it. That doesn't make you a son or a daughter. Rather aspire to be a real son or a real daughter, not somebody who just uses a word. And there are some people because they are not sons. That's. Why they're always saying yes daddy. Try to create it with the word yes daddy, yes daddy, yes daddy. There's a particular guy. Everything I say is a yes daddy, yes daddy, that is yes daddy. Everywhere. He starts with the word Daddy. A simple sentence which does not include daddy, he has added it to all sentences is out of, I'm telling you, politeness and I don't know what word, huh. Phagmatism. Phagmatism that I don't react to that thing but I want to skip. Don't say that word. Again, don't say that word again. So I'm not your father? I. Am your boss. I'm your boss. I'm your teacher and your pastor. But I'm not your father and maybe somebody else's father. Not your father. Because there are characteristics of children. That make you be able to call somebody your father, is it not true? Yeah. So. Why is it that you don't have those characteristics but you want to force? You want instead of developing the characteristic. You want to just use the word Papa or daddy instead of developing the characteristic of a. Child, you want to superimpose childhood by forcing a title. I confess you as Daddy. Take it. Take it, Papa. Receive it, Papa. Take it, Daddy. So step #1 is what? Vessel chain two Seventh hood three what? Receiving a father? Yeah, all these are the steps in the mega church #4 follow the man of God closely. Amen. Follow the what? The man of God, How closely? And you see, if I have hidden most of my life, you could not follow me closely. That is why these days I do not, I do not make efforts to be close to people. Now during this camp, I'm going to teach you the disadvantage of being deaf and dumb, the disadvantages of being deaf and dumb. I'm going to take you through a lesson. There are a lot of things. One of the time I'm going to teach you the disadvantages of being deaf and dumb and you understand something. I don't make efforts to be close to people. You you stayed in my house. My house. I don't make any effort to be close to her. She's in Cameroon. I don't make any effort. You asked Sylvia. I said fine. I don't hear from her. I know you don't hear. I have so many things I'm doing. I don't try again. My effort making to be close to people is finished. Yeah. The the burden of. Closeness is on the pursuer, not on the mentor. That burden, that problem, do you get it? It's not on the mentor or the father is on the child. That problem is for the child. So I don't make effort to be close to anybody. I'm close to the people who are close to me. Yeah, it's true. It's a fact. So I'll be there. You, you also be there. I'm also there. I'm in my world, we are in your world. That's it. I'll never do anything to be close to you. I'll be close to the people who are close to me, who want to be close and can know how to be. But beyond that, I cannot be. What do you think? Is it exciting? It's exciting. I should make efforts. Call it. So how are you This Even some of you when you talk, How so? Fine. This you are very close to being deaf and dumb. You. I will show you the disadvantages of being deaf and dumb. Deaf. We call it deaf mute. Mute. When The thing is phone is on you press mute, it doesn't make sound again. When you press, it doesn't make any sound again. And many of us are like that. We don't make sound again. A baton has been There's no more sound from you. Why are you looking at me like that? Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying. It's what I'm saying. The complex. Follow. A man of God closely. To be close to the man of God and follow. If I have not shared my life as much as possible, anything that I could have said, I've been saying and saying and saying and saving things I shouldn't say. You get it? Yeah. So I don't make effort to be close to people. Yeah. What do you think? Is it exciting? Yeah. Not to go? Have I not made efforts to be close to people? What efforts have you seen me making to be close to people? I am being close but they don't want to be close to me. Which of us have, I mean, traveled around with you? I've seen, I mean, you call people, you bring people to you where you are. If it's a hotel, you ask them to come up to where you sleep and they are there with you, talking, sharing, calling, texting. Have you seen me texting people before? A lot. You send text messages when at least when we are together, I see you on the phone sending text messages and calling, really calling people. But more often the effort is to, I mean, you make is to bring the people. Let the people come. It's a phrase I hear you make all the time. Let them come, let them come. Why? Would I say let them come? Because some people want to do what? Be. Away, but some also want to come. Most people don't want no, but some people, when the people want to come, some people want to do. Stop them Naturally, some don't want them to even come around. So what happens so? They don't come you. Don't understand the question. I mean, they don't come, so by asking them to come, you are making a way for them to come near you. I don't know. Larry, explain it. What I what? I think is that let's say some of the people you work with, I mean if we understand hierarchy and ranking very well, you are very high compared to where we are. So with their business and secular understanding. Some. Of us should even come that close. So when you are making a way, they feel that you've even come too close, but still you insist. So it's not that they are doing something wrong, but you are being, you are extending. You. Are going the extra mile to say overlook, overlook, let them come, let them come. That's that's how I understand. Yeah. And it's right because many times they maybe say no, no, it's OK because they'll know I'm tired. I'll finish preaching, do this, whatever. And they'll say, look, it's whatever we can. And I'll say they've. Come all the way. Let them come. Why should they not come? Come. I'll come and see them. Midnight. Whatever. Is it not true? Yeah. So what I'm saying is that I don't make efforts. Again, I'm not saying I'll not do that, but I'm saying that like when I see you and I realize that I'm not close to you, I'm not I will not be worried. Again, at first, I'll be worried. So I'll just how that is why I'm going to teach you about the disadvantages of what deaf and down because if you have lost your ability to speak, it's not my fault. Are you understanding what I'm saying? Yeah. If you have lost your ability to speak. I don't. I can't solve that problem. When I delete my texts, I delete 1600 that my phone was not. I was asked the phone was. It says with 4600 thousand 5. That's how I delete thousands. Yeah, so. If I answer wow and you are annoyed, it's unto you, or if I don't answer, it's unto you. It's true. So what are you talking about? But you see, you are the one who needs the anointing. Yeah. I. Believe I'm not I'm already and I don't need I need more gifts and more all things but. You need to be anointed you. Need to follow the man of God closely and you can follow through the words, the stories, the things the person is sharing. Do you get it #5? Steps. To the anointing #1 is what? Vessel chain #2 is 172. It's all in your book, isn't it #3 is what? Receiving a father #4 is what for in the amount of work #5 is what spiritual manifestations laying hands on suddenly and the Bible says in first emoji 522 lay. Hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins. So when you lay hands, you can even receive the sins of somebody. That. Is why these days we are not going to lay hands quickly. Yeah, I put my hand in my pocket. Should in case rather something from you comes to me. And the Archbishop was telling me I was laying hands on and he said you have to be careful, lay hands on all these wow, wow people that you are lay hands on. You get it? Yeah. So, brothers and sisters, remember spiritual manifestations. But you see, that is all you see. One of the things you must realize that the anointing is the Holy Spirit, which is God. God has no conduit. When you do this, God will come. When you do this, this, this, God will come. God doesn't just come like that. It takes time. It takes so many different ways. And that's why we are learning more now. Spirit of understanding, wisdom, counsel might. Yeah. Are you there? Number six, the passage of time. I think somebody brought that point up that it takes time to be anointed, but it is possible. Amen. I believe that it is possible. Even my 2 closest associates I have watched over the years, I can see the anointing that is on their life. You see, that's what I'm saying that. Sometimes you look and you realize that some. People want the things follow. It learn it, practice it and do it at the higher levels so so that you look at the lower level, you realize that is it, that there's something that is not being said. I can actually see that. Anointing on because anointing on meal, but I can. See the anointing. Wherever it, wherever it is from, I can see the anointing on them and on their life. That's why as we've been going further and further, I'm not getting further and further away from them. You see, if it had not been so, we would have been becoming distant. But we are not becoming distant. Yeah, we are not becoming further apart. If anything, we are even getting closer. The otherwise I would have strengthened because of now when things go on, new people come, different things come on. You see that? You see that, OK. It's like we are getting further apart even both spiritually in ministry, social life and when I said to them, let's play golf. None of them knew about golf, nor. Were. Interested in golf? In fact, they rather told me that look there. Is a gym. Bishazaki told me that there was a gym near his house. And that that is where he was going, that when he goes there, he feels very good and his stomach goes down. And he registered, I think Bishops Ali also registered. But I said to them let us go and play golf. I've never played before but, and it was so funny. They were laughing, said how golf, what is golf and so on. I bought the club. I said let's go 50 dollars £50 that is all. Cheapest club we. Bought. It 49 lbs. What's a Rita? Do you remember? I bought it with you. We came and said yes. Yes, yes man, yes man £50.50 pound £50 we went, $100 each we went, that's all. Then we went to stand there and we started the first day we started together and even like yesterday. When we arrived. Here I didn't tell them that we. Are going to play, we never spoke or we are going to do it at. Around the same time, we were all standing there by our cast changing to go and play without even communication. There was not even communication that Charlie, let's go and play at this time when we go, OK Oh, we've arrived. So are you going to? Play. Should we play? Will you play? Are we play? Will you play? It was an uncommunicated communication. Yeah. So that's why I'm saying that it's like you see that even those that are close, they who should even despise me for all my problems and other problems that they know about, that you may not know, rather are even following more closely. And I rather becoming more anointed and more spiritual. Oh, I mean if I even take an example of hemis, you ain't tacrading. You. Know and I used to advise you play golf. Here's your house. Here's the golf course. Free you. Here's your house. Here's the golf course. Play. You're not playing. But you see, here's Bishop Eddie. What is more senior? Oh, Bishop suck. He was. I said play. They'll laugh us out if you say we should play. We shall play. And we don't know why. Why you say we should. I also didn't know why I also didn't know by myself. It's time to play. If you read the Bible, read as I say, I will send you a man, I will do this. I will bring a king from here, I will do this. God always does those minutes of those things. God is the one doing. You don't know what he's doing. And we didn't know, lo and behold, that even our fellowship would have ended if it were not for that. Because since all those times PFI has ended, I don't remember the last time that I went for PFI. And at least in the coded, because this one is doing something at the coded, this one is doing something and I'm also doing something else. That's our main fellowship. Time I see we would have been separated more than I'll be asking Bishop Saki now you don't say whatever. Why is it that these days this days that and whatever. Bishop Eddie, how come this days was You are a big man. You feel that this days that when you go here this we don't know what's happening. I never see you. There's nothing like that. In the grace of God, because one little piece of advisor, Charlie, let's do this. Ah, why should we not do it? We'll do it. It has made us close. It has helped us immensely. It has closed a door that Satan would have worked through. Come and scatter all of us into the system. That's why I say that if in those that are nearer you can see the anointing, you see Bishop Eddie doing camps and you see the anointing is there. The effect of the camps, yeah, I know how I own my own. My own detection of the anointing and different things like that. I can see it, Bishop Saki doing the Kodesh when they were registered that the Kodesh, the thing has grown from the time that I island. That's why I want to follow Jesus. When Jesus let the thing grew, I've left it for them to grow so that I can be more like Jesus. That without hands on the thing works. You see, this camp is becoming more like rebuking. Yeah, it's. Becoming more like rebuking. Are you listening to me? So you get it and you realize that people don't just flow. You just say this, they'll be there. They have another effect and the way that is having that effect, they want you to finance the solution of that effect, that the problem it has created, you have to pay for it. That's why I said that, whatever you. Create for yourself. Like they say, when you make your bed, you lie in it. If you if you don't make your bed, you lie in the confusion bed. If you make it nice and it looks nice, you lie in it. Whatever you make for yourself, you lie in it. You talk. You want to be a national leader. National leader, you get it. You want to be a national leader? All. Those of you who are national, national, that your nation that you've been sent to, you are the main man who's been standing. Stand up. You are the main man who's been sent there. Mr. Osaki, I don't know whether. I'm saying the wrong or what I'm saying is as if it's ferries. What do you call it? National leaders. Are you national leaders? Meanwhile, I'm trying to make you national leaders. Pastor Sawyer, do you play golf? If we play when you see you. This year, how many times have you played? This year, 123, How many times? I have been with my trainer mostly and I think I've been playing. It's it's he, he, he advises me just to. I've played with him. How many times have you gone around? We did it once. You, you don't play golf, You see? That's a problem. Please, please, I beg you. Please. We are having a camp. Don't, don't argue. We we play golf. We know what we are saying. We don't play golf. You are now hitting balls. You are a national leader going to interact with the great and the small. Hey, it's fantastical. What do you think, Adele? What do you think? Give her a microphone, she has something on her mind. I think it's important. Speak out, speak out. What's the microphone? I also have a personal confession because. I I lived by a. Golf course and you said I should play golf are you the. Ladies, I think I've stopped advising you because you like chatting, dressing, not moving and eating other people's food. Food that you didn't cook, when they don't cook it, then they they like it chatting. No, I'm asking about them. Is it, is it, is it good? You can see the bright eyes of those who who are listening to certain pieces of advice. Is it not true? It's true. You think so? OK Does your husband play? Yes. So you see, he can be a national leader. He's likely to beat important people. Or have you met some important people? Yeah. First of all, you play. How often this year? That's so in Ghana, I mean where you are, where you are from in Venezuela is very expensive. So I don't I play. So you don't play golf. You see this is the OK, let me tell you something. Playing golf means what doctor go playing golf means because you have you have been a victim of that thing before. So explain it to them. It does not mean hitting balls and just moving up, and it means playing golf a minimum of three to four times a week. 18 holes. 9 hosts. 18-9 hosts 18 Anything less than that. OK, so now so how many can see that advice is given? It is not followed, it is not believed, it is not #7 Minister to the man of God. Amen. OK, now the next thing is soaking in of messages and we are going to end with that one and then we have a break. The anointing that we receive when we are listening to messages, OK, which is a chapter in the book called a special secret. OK, now that special secret is that when you listen to messages you receive the anointing. Now the anointing that you receive is in seven parts, OK, The patterns of Jesus, the Spirit has the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of wisdom. You receive wisdom what to do because somebody will be preaching something. You say something and you immediately know what to do. You receive understanding. You understand why something didn't work for you. You receive counsel, advice of what you should do. Anybody who is listening to this camp will here advice how to be a national leader, interact with a great and a small, play golf, do this, learn the language, all this advice. As you are listening to the messages, you'll receive the spirit of knowledge. You get to know things. You get to know that Napoleon was a general at the age of 26. You even learn language specificacity, astute, bereft other words which you don't even know. You get it. Yeah, parambulations and so on. You learn words, English language knowledge, then you get strength for something because somebody talks about something. Like I was talking. To Reverend Steve, Reverend Steve Mensa, you know, I was telling because both myself and him, we, we honor Archbishop Duncan Williams. He tells me that that man used to call him, used to call himself check twins. He used to call him the twins. He and his brother, Stephen Stanley, he said, check twins, call the twins. Let the twins come always, he said. I don't know why they he like us, always call the twins the twins. And he said I will not have a church if that man. Had not showed me the land where I should build my church. And he told him, he said the Archbishop told him not in the floor for money. That is, it is a church. The all I they are doing is a church. He said within one month he changed it into a church. Yeah, so he said that. When he had me honoring him and being strong. In. The midst of a lot of charismatic Christians who want to dishonor the man. He said that when he heard me saying that it was already something that he believed in, but it strengthened him more stronger to actually stand in that vein, which it was already something that he believed in. And. He became stronger in it. And he's very. Very strong in it, Yeah, very, very, very strong. In it, he said. I don't joke. There is nobody said when he come to our church, we are all carping, we are all standing, we are all receiving him, he said Father, we are receiving him. Oh, you. Should hear him. Talking, you know, you'll be encouraged. He said I would never. And he has friends and people that are close to him that are opposed to that. But he said that I would never, never do it. What's up? My life. I would never dishonor that man. Never. I said it will not happen. It will not happen very, very strong, but you see the strength that has come to him to. Stand firm in his faith and in his belief you. Get what I'm saying also come by having had somebody with a similar situation, a similar stance, strength. And when I also had him, I also even became stronger in what I, I, I, I, I believe because there are people who want to dishonor Archbishop because he's divorced and have married again. There are some persons who have said that. Well, I will always say that it is wrong. It's wrong for you to divorce your wife and to marry another one. I will say it until they cut off my head like don't the Baptist. I will say, and we are also saying that, yeah, whatever. We also are not mature enough to pass a document on that situation. All that we know is that this man has been a father. He has blessed us and we are going to honor him to the end, whatever the case is. So. There are two different opinion. What do you call it? Point of views and every Yeah. Opinion polls, everybody, in his opinion is up to you. Yeah. I cannot pass judgment on that. And I don't know what he what he saw. You get it? Neither are we saying that divorce is good, remarriage is good. This is it. No, that is not the point. That is not the point. Yeah, that's what we are not passengers and we cannot assess a grown up. You assess your mother, your. Mother who gave birth to you, and your father who gave birth to you, Start to correct him and see what will happen to your finger. You wait and see whatever your father saw, you see 100 times that thing when it happens, you say, I remember 1 pastor. His father went to have a child with somebody when his father had a child with somebody. He was so. Bond with the father, he said. Amir, Amir, Amir. Then he grew up, then he saw certain things, then he said I now understand not that he has got a child with somebody, he said I now understand how and why my father had a child because I myself, I feel like having a child with somebody. Not. That he's a temptation to him, but he can see that if he is to respond to the provocation that he's explained, he can see why and how he can easily have a child with somebody. Practically and not, you may be. You may be promoted to a realm of not only seeing it, but actually practicalizing it. So that you understand it fully not only once, but more time. Are. You listening to me? Yeah. So what am I talking about? Strength. You get strength from listening to tapes. Sometimes. You know something? You believe that you should start a branch. You hear it? Ah, this is it. Suddenly you have strength for that thing that you are going to do. Amen. Counsel, advice. It's one of the top things you get when you listen to messages. And that thing is all that is coming to you. It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. OK, Now fear of the Lord, you will realize your limitations. That is God who does everything. You realize that all these things will come to you. Now, there is a way that I have found two mistakes that people are making when they're listening to tapes 1 is that there are some important tapes for you. You see everything. If let's say there are 60, there may be one particular one that's very important for your life, you see. But sometimes we have listened to 30, but because we haven't listened to some of them, the particular one that is very important for your ministry, you haven't heard it and you haven't heard it. Well, that's that's one thing. That's one thing that I've noticed. Do you get what I'm saying? Do you understand or you don't understand? I'm saying that it's like there may be a particular one that is very important for you. I had an exam once when I was in medical school. My roommate, Doctor Nosh. He. We all did he did the exam, I think they did the exam and when what happened was that he did not We all learned the past question. You see the past question is there 9192939495 or 81. I think our time 8182838485 like that clear you learned if you don't see you can't pass. When he did the exam, he learned all, but he did not learn one. And the examiner brought down 1 shamelessly with the dates that they dated everything in 1981 just put it there for us. Yeah, the whole past question said just put it there. But he didn't learn only that one. He learned all, but he didn't learn all the and the results, the results, all of us 96949293 When they finish, they call, they call him and because he had he passed like 5354. So they called said do you have any problem? You know what the do you know what the professor asks? Don't you have the past questions? Either they put the date on or they didn't put the date on, but they just lifted and put it there. Yeah. Do you have any problems? Don't you have past questions there? So sometimes, like in his case, he had gone through several, but there was a particular one that was, I mean, in fact, it was the only one that was important for the exam because that particular one and that was the particular one that he didn't listen to. So what I want to explain to you is that why you talk of the Mckennair or you talk of the Poemano, then you say sometimes there is a particular 1. So my my my concern. In doing exam has always been a frenzy of not to miss the most important one by mistake one day. And so when I was doing exams, I never when I when I learn. And learn and learn. I had a policy of going around to be sure that I've not missed the most important one. That's what I that's what I used to do. And I did that thing when I was doing my Part 1 Pediatrics. I finished learning. I mean, I was learning and learning. I said no. Maybe there is a revelation somewhere in this school that I don't know. So I started. I left my room. My room was R1 O 4 we have R block B block and then boy squatters BQ far away under and I left my room going around Charlie how is there any what what are they? What was happening? The different place where they have been discussed were prepared. The exam is the next morning. Then somebody told me that all. There are some. Questions in the BQ. I said oh they are very hackers and somebody has I said. So I said, OK, so I went there and I got the questions handwritten. Who wrote that? I wrote. And when you see that you can't answer it, you if you've not seen it before, you cannot answer it. You can answer the questions. What is the diameter of the common bio duct? I mean it is 2.62 point, 52.42.32.2 millimeters. Which one is it? If you've not lent it as 2.2, you cannot. You cannot pass. And our professors, don't you have the questions? When I went to the an exam of 50 questions, 34 or the 34, they were there apart from other ones which we had. And I, I, the questions were so hard that I had to memorize this one. The answer was this. That's what I understand it, but that that saved my life because later on I went to meet a situation in my long case, in my oral and other crisis or my short case, as you see. So you see, there was one particular. And I didn't sit down and say, oh, I've listened. I've read a lot. I mean, God, I could, obviously. Repeat it when. I passed that exam. I got my 2000 lbs prize. I got this, I got this. I got so many things. Yeah, it was a lot of things were connected to that and it should not be redistributed. I should not redistribute my 2000 lbs and I got in 1987 everybody should come and get 100 hundred when I was going around the room trying to find Is there any questions? Is there any latest questions in the system far? Away I walk to. BQ and I found those questions and wrote it with my hand and I should now redistribute it when I'm I'm in the top, what do you call it of that class and I've got won a prize. You get it. So I'm saying something that we have a Macanair. We have camp just like how I'm having a camp with a lot of people are not here, but a lot of people will benefit greatly for something that I've said that will not be in a Lalos camp, my first love or other things or in another camp that I did Mighty Foundations or some other place. And it will really benefit you. But you see people don't have that challenge. I must not miss anything that is very important. So that's one of the great mistakes that we are making when it comes to listening to tapes. The second mistake that is being made when it comes to listening to tape to catch the anointing is that. A certain. Presumption. Do you see that? I know this is in the mind and in the heart as we are listening. And so because of that presumption, we do not soak in tapes repeatedly as we ought to and also in small sections. You see, we have two ways we. Have the general scanning and then the soaking in, you see, and because we are not soaking in, we are not benefiting from what is busy. Even as I'm preaching now, I just read, I'm just reading the capital headlines of the thing. There's plenty things are here. So that's how it is. You can have the headline, but there's also a taking time. To soak in, and you can always see the people who have the time to soak in the things. So brothers and sisters, you know, I want to say to you that it's interesting that soaking in a tape is one of the pieces of advice that we give to people. Do you understand? Yeah. It's one of the pieces of advice that you give to. I would still like to soak in Kenneth Haigh. I would still like to soak in Rick Joyner. I would like to listen to these people because I can see clearly you get it, that, you know, God has a lot of things for me that I still don't have. In fact, recently when God gave me the clear revelation that receiving the anointing is receiving the Spirit of wisdom. It made me start. To read Proverbs, it made me start to listen to Mike Murdock, whose main theme is wisdom. It made me start to listen to some of these things and start, I realized that wisdom is a very important thing you understand and I started to be interested in because I realized that anointing is wisdom. What people are calling wisdom is also something that really helps you know, for you to be a certain way in the ministry and understanding and counsel. And since I realized that how understanding is the spirit of science, a spirit of understanding is science. That's what made me interested in nature, in science, in economics. And I read all these things because I realized that it rarely benefits what I'm doing spiritually because the principles crossover. Almost every spiritual principle has a parallel in the natural Amen. Yes, hello. Also talking about soaking in the camps and the messages, one of the one of the deficiencies is also not even soaking in camps. That will help us at the particular stage of our ministry, you know, and because all the camps are different and the emphasis are also different. And so you realize that the camps in using them practically are meant to help you to also even know what to do at a particular time. You know, So if you have just started, you know, a church, you want to know how to develop the church, how to build the church. You know, maybe at that particular time, you don't need to be listening to camps that, let's say, miracles, how to have miracles and all that. Then as you develop, maybe you come to a point where you may have to listen to camps that relate to how to build workers, trained shapes, you know, so that as a pastor you'll be able to train shapes. You know, So sometimes not doing that, it's almost like we are listening to the camps, but we are not benefiting from them practically in terms of also using them to practically build, you know, our churches. So I wonder when you move around, you realize that people don't know what is like, what should I do? But what you should do is in the camp, you know, what you should do is in the camp, a particular camp, 2-3 camps that are related, That if you suck those camps in and got the wisdom, the understanding, the council and all that, it will help for you to sort of achieve a particular thing at a particular stage of, of of is. He what he's trying to say, if you take this camp, I'm talking to you as people who are trying to become who you can become to. Rise up. And so so I'm speaking in a particular way and it's directional. It's not it's not, it's not if you listen to my the last camp I had, I lost. It's a completely different camp. I don't talk about any of the things I'm talking about here now. It's a completely different world. When you come, it's like we are. I mean, it's like you've moved from. Timbuktu to China or to Ethiopia, I mean. There's no correlation. So what he's trying to say is that it's like camps, they are so different. That's why I said that you may miss something that is for you. And a camp is not just for pleasure. You know, sometimes people listen. Something is a very good word, but not anything that you are applying to yourself for. Instance. Some people have been encouraging. Me to write a book on others you. See others so listen to the camp others a very. Very good time, but the people are encouraging me to write a book on others. I lay people who are not going to. Practice this others, whatever. It's interesting that those they love the message. So you can love the message. It's a nice thing that was said the way it is put and the way it's said in the scriptures and the whole team is beautiful, but it's not like something that you are going to practically do. It's not linked to anything practical to your life in any way. It's just nice and that's why. People are, oh, can I come for the camp? I want to come for the camp. Not that they are going to practice anything that is being said. Oh, we just want to be here. It's a nice camp. There's nothing that will have to do. Anything to do with them or that they would apply? Are you with me? Yeah. So listening to camps, the first mistake is that there are very important camps that we are missing. The second one is that we are not taking our time sometimes to soak in because there's a presumption, which is also the pride. Which is the pride that? You know what I know, and I can tell you even without whatever that you do not know what I know. You do not know what I know. Yeah, because we shall know you by your fruits. You get it. And then #3 we, we, we don't seem to. Realize that camps and messages, especially with me, are purposeful. There's a reason for the camp, and the people are defined. It's a group of people for a particular reason. That's why you don't just have a camp. But I don't just have a camp. That's what I want to have a camp. You get it? Yeah. So. There's a reason for the camp. It costs a lot of money, it takes a lot of time, a lot of energy, and there's a particular reason for a particular camp at a particular time, which comes into your life are different. But sometimes there's so many things you can find out, like that pediatric paper that I found. It really saved my life. So do not. It's all part of our pride and the assumption that I know what this man is saying. Like one day I was going to a camp. And they were announcing it in the church that I was coming for the camp. Then the people said, ah, don't say to yourself, Bishop is coming. All that is coming to preach is kill yourself for Jesus. You know that all that is coming to is kill yourself for Jesus. Like as a Bishop, Oh full time, kill yourself for Jesus. Sacrifice your life, give your job, die now. Whatever you see, you, you, you, you are. What you are doing is it's like an insult. Do you get it? It's a way of just describing me in a way and just, you know, setting the person aside. It's, it's what we call absurdio reduction. You, you, you, you reduce the argument to a level of absurdity, absurdity. And it's like you describe it in a way, you reduce it to a level of absurdity to make no sense of it in your discussion. It's absurdio reduction, you see. Are you with me? So don't, don't reduce my message to absurdity. That's how some people have done with the loyalty book and has reduced it to absurdity. And so this is nothing. This is useless. This is not worth anything. It's not. Did you get it? Yeah. One day a certain pastor went to a certain church in Accra. And when he listened to them, the pastor preached a great man of God in Accra. Then he said, oh, when I went to this church, I realized that even Rawlins can preach what the pastor is preaching. You see? I mean, this is his comment about that. Oh, even Rawlins can be in that pulpit and preach what the pastor is preaching. You see, what he was doing was reducing the pastor's ministry to a level of absurdity. Yeah. So don't allow anybody to reduce whatever you are doing to a level of absurdity. Yeah, because it will cost you, you know, and I, I just want to say something, you know, because it comes to mind that you know, when when somebody is being nice to you, you know, and somebody is relating with you. Be careful because. I I I have seen. In As we look into the past, I've seen that sometimes people have taken for granted some of the nice relation and even. That season is also past. You know, trying to force to be relate with this, that if life you don't force it to, you will not relate. You will not know you, you just won't. It just won't happen. That's how it is now. So don't don't take it for granted because there are some buttons when you press them, it presses the word delete. And sometimes you can never return certain things that you, you, you lost. You get it. So be careful with all the blessings that we have, the teachings, the friendship, the opportunities. Don't take it for granted because you may be surprised. See, that's the thing about season change when it changes. Oh, I thought we'd be together forever. No, we will not be together forever. We wouldn't let nothing like that. I thought you always preach at the camp and you always. No. One day either I will look at your dead body or you may look at my even I've told them if I died, nobody should put my face on display for some people to come and look at my face. No. If you want it, we do it for you. But we don't accept that. You get it. Yeah. So listen carefully. You got a chance. You got a season, you get it. Use it because when you play around, you'll be surprised somebody who is your friend will never be your friend again because you didn't value that friendship when you had the opportunity to be close or to be friends or to be loyal. I remember 1 particular brother. I'm just talking about something else now. I tell you, I took this person as a very wonderful, you know, brother, and the guy played some cards. It's not that I don't like him again, but he vanished out of my life without my efforts and. It's so difficult and factually impossible. Somebody I took as I mean like. You are my my son. Like how I don't know who said I said put you in my car and let's go somewhere. You may think that it's always for granted, no? But. I always remember that particular guy and he comes to mind now. That's what I'm talking about. Don't think things will be there perpetually. There is nothing. If it is hotel and they will come, the whole place will be decayed whole. Place will be nobody would like to come here again. It's not today, but it will happen. It can happen in our lifetime. That's how it is. So value these teachings. Listen to tape. Don't. Think. That you know it me, I'm sleeping in my room as I'm sleeping in my mouth. Put on. Tape. I'm listening. I'm listening the night, 3:00 AM I'm listening to messages unrelated to this camp. I'm listening. And then after that I should do what? Redistribute in redistributing me Redistribute too. Stand to your feet, take out an offering and let's pray. Take out an offering and let's pray. Lift up your offering. Father, thanks for this offering. We bless you with the Lord in Jesus name, Amen.
