06. Church Growth & The Anointing

Welcome to Track my mistakes of Mission Africa if I give my life to you. The message from the Lord Jesus sent me to you. Are you ready to listen? Do you want to hear it? I said, I've got a message from the Lord. Jesus sent me to you. Are you ready to listen? Do you want to hear it? I said I've got a message from the Lord. Jesus sent me to you. Are you ready to listen? Do you want to hear it? Did I make a mistake when I called you? Should I have chosen another person or anointed another one? How many times will I give you visions and powerful convictions till you don't obey the reason why I'm asking this question? You take it so lightly. You take me so lightly. If I give my life for you, will you give your life for me? If I die for you, will you die for me too? If I shed my blood for you, what will you do with it? Will you despise my blood or will you treasure me so? What is the point of showing so much love when I get so little feedback from the person I love so dearly? I wanna know if it all means nothing to you. Don't you care about my mission? Don't you care about what I care for? The reason why I'm asking this question 'cause you take it so lightly. You take me so lightly. Oh, if I give my life for you, oh, will you give your life for me? And if I die for you, oh, will you die for me too? And if I shed my blood for you? Yeah. What will you do with it? Will you despise my blood? Don't love your treasure. Oh God, love the world. That he can is only begotten. Whoever believes in Jesus should not perish, but have new life. He commanded his love, His love toward us, and while we were yet sinners, Jesus died over the cross for sinners. The reason why I'm put in the scriptures, it's because you've forgotten. What about there? So if I give my life for you, will you give your life for me? And if I die for you, will you die for me too? If I shed my blood for you, what will you do with it? Will you despise my blood? Or will you treasure me shine? Can I turn my attention from you to an appreciative person who will not take my love for granted? Do you know how long I've been waiting? Have I waited in vain for nothing? It seems like you never really love me. There isn't. Why? Hey, I'm speaking this way 'cause you broke my heart and you took me for granted. Or if I give my life for you, will you give your life for me? Yeah. If I die for you? Or will you die for me? The 2. And if I shed my blood, my precious blood, what will you do with it? Will you despise my love? So will you treasure me if I give my life for you? Hey, will you give your life for me? And if I die for you, will you die for me too? And choose our shit as love for you? What will you do with it? Will you despise this love? Now put your treasure in. Oh, what will you do with it? What will you do with it? Jesus gave me life with you. Oh oh. Jesus prayed 3 times in the garden. If it be your will, O Lord, let this come Passover me. But he said nevertheless not my will be done, but Your will be done. Oh Lord, I will accept Your perfect will for my life today as You hold my destiny. You have a purpose for me and You have a plan for me. I want to follow your will. I love your perfect will. I love the choice you make for me. I just love the mystery of Your will. Just take my hair and walk with me. Oh Lord, I trust in your will. I believe in your word. I'll go away yet, Lord. I will set your perfect will for my life to death as you hold my destiny. If you have a purpose for me, you have a blind for me. If I was to follow your will every day, every night, when I'm down on my knees, pray in here. I will do what you say. I'll follow. I will listen to your voice. I'll follow forever, Forever, forever, forever, forever. And I'm glad to follow you. You hold my destiny. You have a purpose for me. Yeah. You have a plan for me. Oh, I want to follow your will there. You hold my destiny. Yeah. You have a purpose for me. You have a plan for me. Oh, I want to follow your will so right, I'll do what you say. So right. I'll follow your will, Lord. So right. I'll do what you say. So right. Follow you follow your will so right. Do what you say, it's all right. Follow you. Follow your will, it's all right. I'll do what you say, it's all right. Follow you all the way 'cause you hold my destiny. You have a purpose for me, Lord. You have a plan for me. Now that I know there's only one God in all of the earth, you're my only God and I want you to know my love for you. I never let go 'cause I love you. So all I want is to serve you. If I live my life again, I'll choose you. It's been worth from this event for you. Lord, I love you. There's no one I love you. You gave your son. You gave your love. When you turn my life all around you gave your life. You set me free. And I'll serve you for the rest of my day. Go, go, go. Yeah. My Lord and my God, I can't believe you died for me. What a sacrifice and the Lord in return, I'll serve you for the rest of my life. Yes, I will. I will build your charter. All I want is to serve you. If I live my life again, I'll choose you. It's been worth for the living for you. Lord, I love you. That's the one. I love you. You gain your son, you gain your life. When you turn my life all around, you gain your life. You serve me free, and that's where I be for the rest of my days. Woah woah. All on my vision to do your mission. Yeah. All on my will. To do your will. I'll preach your word. I'll build your church and I'll do it again and again, my Jesus, 'cause you gain your son, you gain your life. For when you turn my life all around, you gain your life to save me free air. So I'll save you for the rest of my day. Oh you gave the sun, you gave your love. Oh you turn my life all around you day your night. You set me free and deserve you for the rest of my day. You gave the sun, you gave your life. Oh, you turn my life all around. You gave your knife to slap me, a priest, and to serve you for the rest of my day. Wow, wow. And I'll do it again, and again, again and again. If I live again, I'll do it again. How many would choose him again? How many would choose to serve the Lord again and again and again and again? Wow. Fantastic. Hallelujah. Now back to Anakazu. These are the salient points you must remember. Amen. You must use Anakazu to organize a great supper. Amen. Hallelujah. Prepare. Bible says a certain man made a great supper. So, Anna Castle, before you come to the point where you are compelling people, if you are forcing people, come and listen to me, isn't it? Come and listen to me. You should have prepared if you are going to force come and eat, when they come, say, oh, I'm not going to catch the chicken outside and you've gone out to force so many people to come and they come and when they come the chicken is now being killed and they can hear the chicken screaming from the kitchen. Wow. Oh, the chef is now in the toilet because he has diarrhoea. The chef is in the toilet. He's just coming out or he's had a running stomach the whole day. Now going to bring the food. Will you be happy with this chef? No. OK, So what I'm trying to tell you is that Anacazo involves a strong preparation. So all of us must now prepare for church growth. That is why your chairs, the chairs that you have, are usually filled. Most people's churches are up to the size they're prepared for. If you take dinner in your house, usually it is the number of people you're prepared for that come to eat. Recently I was in one of my pastors church. I said fill the church with chairs, don't have aisles, fill from back-to-back, fill it up and it will be full and it got full. Yeah, it's a mistake to have a hall that can have 200 people and put 80 chairs there. Yeah, it's a church growth mistake. Strategically, you can put 80 chairs and fill a room that can take to, because we can arrange 80 chairs here nicely. The place will look filled. But if you want your church to be filled, you have a certain number in mind. You must fill the church with that number of chairs and prepare even physically for the 200 people. Yeah. And you must prepare and be anointed so that you have something to give when people come to receive. Can I have an Amen from somebody? You must have something to give when people come to listen to you. That is why a good pastor must listen to messages of preaching until it is bubbling out of you all the time. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So how many of you here have got podcasts? How many of you have got modern phones? How many have got podcasts? How many don't have? You don't have podcasts. You know what is a podcast if you don't have you just I'll show you what the podcast is in OK, What phone do you use Cam What phone do you use Cam What phone do you use BlackBerry 93 and bring it. Let me see Paula, can it be used it it works. This one, you don't have podcasts in it, but you know what is podcast? No, OK, so I'm going to show you what is podcast. You know, at the camp, we should have done the podcast with a whole. It was a serious oversight. But we'll show you what the podcast in a moment. So just wait after well, well before we end, we'll do the podcasting. Everybody connect to podcasts. That means the messages will be downloading to your phone directly, free of chat. You not buy tips again, don't buy message, don't buy CD just it comes free PIM and it comes You don't have to remember it will appear on your phone to appear on your iPad and then the message will be there. Then you start listening. You must listen to a lot of messages in your life. That is how to prepare such as I have give IV. If I'm able to take out of my pocket $10 to give to you, it means I've prepared $10 and put it in my pocket then I can give you $10.00. But if I'm not prepared to get that that $10 then I don't have. So pass this, assume that you are not anointed rather than thinking to yourself or I've already caught the anointing. Pray for the anointing because one of the signs of the anointing is that people come to listen to you. Yeah, the Bible says the whole, the whole world had gathered to listen to Jesus, to listen to what he was saying. And he said he has anointed me to preach. So if you are anointed, how come the whole of the town are not gathering to listen to you even though you are called Reverendo Reverendo and nobody is listening to you? Reverendo you, you. You rather have to tell yourself that I am not yet anointed and myself, as I'm preaching, I tell you I can see so many things that are deficient. I say that I have healing anointing. I met Stevie Wonder. You know Stevie Wonder. I just called to say I love you. That's Stevie Wonder. When I met him in my office, I asked him, how did you become blind? And he told me from when I was born, he something, either something happened or he was born with it. And as he was sitting next to me in my office in the church, I thought of blind Batemius, whom Jesus met on his way into Jericho. Huh. And he shouted, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And when he was brought to Jesus, Jesus didn't start singing. I am the Lord that healer thee. I am the Lord your healer. I sent my word and I healed your disease. I am the Lord your heal like you sing it about 20 times to feel a certain presence. He asked me what do you want? And the man said I want to be healed, I want to see, I don't want money, I want to see. And Jesus said be open and his eyes were open. So wait, look, if I look at that, I look at myself, how can I say that I'm anointed? So instead of thinking to myself that I am anointed, I'm rather searching for anointing. Even one of the reasons what keeps me from praying for the for the anointing God, I I see that there are other important things to pray for like holiness, love, humility, faith. I've been praying for this, yeah. Then also pray for the spirit of understanding, wisdom, knowledge and counsel. Do you understand? Yes. No. Might is different. Before even pray for anointing, for healing and some of these things which didn't make you proud. Do you understand some of these things when you pray for a big church? All bring pride when the most important thing that makes you great in the Kingdom is humility. Yes HLH, holiness, love, humility and faith. Without faith you cannot please God. So when I look at it practically and truthfully, I mean, I can easily say that there's not a drop of anointing on my life if I compare myself to Jesus, and maybe it's very small measure, truthfully, of course, I can see there's some anointing, but the way Jesus had the anointing, honestly, it's not what I'm doing. Yes. But you see, if you are very brutally honest with yourself instead of always making excuses and trying to adjust things, being anointed is not speaking with a spiritualized voice, my God. Oh, that doesn't mean you're anointed. It's a nice feeling that comes when people speak in that way, but that doesn't mean that you're anointed. Anointing is by certain things, Jesus at the Spirit of the Lord, gods upon me has anointed me to heal healings. Many of us pastors who are doing healing pray for people. I tell you, the anointing is very small compared, no, compared with Jesus. You see, if you just measure with the right person, then you say, hey, but if you measure it with yourself and measure, oh, last year by this time I've not seen anybody who said he couldn't see, but now he can see. I've had a lot of people say I couldn't see, but I can see. I've seen it plenty, but I've not sat with somebody who is blind and said be open. I rather call them and give them money. Yeah, I give the blind money to look after them. Yeah, that was encouraging. One day I was listening to Catherine Coleman. She said that she she she she went somewhere. She took 50 wheelchairs to go and donate some place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With the idiot. She took 50 wheelchairs somewhere. Yeah. You see, we, we, we, we. Look, if you think about Christ seriously, you realize that he's the Son of God. You realize that he's the Son of God and that you are not the Son of God. You are very far from the Son of God. Yeah. In the same way, if you analyze what you are doing in the ministry very carefully, you realize that you are not a pastor. You've been called pastor by someone, but you are not. You are nothing. It's better to see yourself in that real way and pray for what you don't have. Then before you realize, God will start giving you drops of something you don't have. You actually don't have it, but he's giving it to you. But you are deceived by being called refrendu. You are deceived by being called pastor. You are deceived by being called Bishop. But actually you are nothing. Are you with me? Yeah, I said I'm a man of God. When Jesus was in a boat and the rain was pitting coming, he got up and he told the rain to stop raining. But I rather would video myself being beaten by the rain, unable to control the rain and I'm clapping for myself. Instead of learning how to walk on the water, I'm going for swimming lessons. Swimming, I'm learning as a pastor, I'm learning how to swim. Instead of learning how to walk on the water like Jesus, my Savior, I'm going for swimming, Swimming practice, which is under the water. I'm learning how to hold my breath. Wow. But Professor Silas, look, there's nothing left of us. We are straight naked as nonentities, which is the real, which is actually what happens when you are dead. When you are dead, you see yourself lying there. You can't believe that it's you. You won't believe that it's you. One day, one of our Czech members that I went to Mottre. I I've known the Mottre, I've beat the Mottre so many times. This was a beautiful lady into fashion. So when I entered the Mottre, I saw different bodies like so I scanned quickly because I knew that I would I would see her among the dead, but when I scanned, I couldn't locate her. Then somebody said the one is the one. Then they said they told the people that he's, he's the Bishop of whatever he's looking for. So then they pointed there like a goat divided into two. She was flying there like a goat divided into two. I said now, now, now, which is a reality. Oh, it's a reality. It's a reality now. It's the reality now, today that you are nothing. So how to come to that realization early? That's what the Bible says. You are buried in corruption, sinfulness. All of us here are bad sinners. Hey, some of you, I'll be preaching to you. You are thinking of sleeping with me instead of receiving the word of God. Yeah. You think I don't know? Check the nearest sister and say you have been caught. Sometimes when some people are alone, you see them talking with their friends, watching television. Man of God is spirit. This man of God is man. Look at how it should be very nice. If this man was, then they'd be talking. Yeah, instead of here. They're not even here. And let's say even one word of what the person is saying. Surely you are full of evil spirits. So prepare and catch anointing. Don't say I'm anointed. As compared to who and what are you anointed Max? If 60 people only only see like the town, how many people are there in Lumumbashi? 4 million? Only 60. Want to hear what you have to say? Only 60 and out of those 6014 were coming already before you came there. And you say you are a man of God and you are anointed. The Spirit of the Lord is upon you now. That's why I want to encourage persons. You know, sometimes I may pass. I feel they are anointed. I can feel it. That's true. Damn. Feeling anointing is not something you feel. It's something you see the effect of. It's not something you feel. The Holy Spirit is like the wind. You cannot feel most of it. Like right now. What am I feeling now? Do I feel a great Apostolic anointing? Because maybe out of this camp, some great stretches are going to be born. Do I feel an Apostolic anointing? No. I feel slight headache, slight tiredness and hunger. These are the three feelings I'm having. Yeah, but it could be a great power and anointing. Yeah, but the feelings that I'm having, slight headache, slight tiredness, slight hunger, but it doesn't mean that there could be anointing and probably there is an anointing. I'm not saying that the Holy Spirit is not with me. No, no, no, don't get me. I'm trying to say it in a way for you to really see that. Stop saying I am there. Stop going to the doctor and say I don't have any problem. I just came to visit say I have a problem so the doctor can remove his best injection and inject you one and before you realize all your problems are gone. Charlie, look, many times I remember in the emergency ward, the doctor had a solution. As a doctor myself, somebody will come into the hospital. The person is dying. Breathing. Breathing is finishing. We have an injection for you. We have an injection. I tell you, we can't give you. I can't put you in here. Say the person, it's finishing. Oh, we have an injection. Hey, we have an injection. We have an injection that you will. We have an injection slowly. We give it over 5 minutes, 15 minutes. You just, it's like magic. So you can say what is wrong with you? Nothing. What is wrong with you? Nothing. Oh, Lord, help me. Lord, are you anointed? Yes, I'm fully anointed. I listened to a message last week. I'm anointed. Somebody pray for me. I have received. I believe I received anointing then. Wow. Look, don't look at a way of talking to let you know that you are not the effect. Yeah, the effects. This is what you see as there's an anointing. So prepare, prepare with the anointed by the time people come to listen to you. Oh it would be amazing #2. And I'm ending use Anna Castle to influence many people. The Bible says a a certain man made a great supper. Wow, a certain man made what great supper and bared many invited many people. So decide I'm going to invite and be involved with many people as I speak today. I'm involved with many people. That's why, that's why I cannot, I cannot even be on WhatsApp, too many people. I can't read the text. I cannot. I'm involved with too many people. Too many. So decide your 21 people and your 15 member fellowship and your 6 members are we. We need hundreds and we can. We can. How many believe that we can do it? We can do, We can do. Say I can do, You can do. We can do, I can do. I can do all. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. I can, I can, I can do. I can do all. I can do all things. I can do all things through Christ. I can, I will, I can, you can, we can in Jesus name. I can do all things. Hallelujah. You can influence many people. Wow. You can be an influencer of many people. It is possible and it is going to happen. Practically. Don't think about me what I have done. Don't think that when Bishop, our founder, is doing something, it is being done. No, that's my ministry. My ministry is to encourage you to do your ministry. So if I have done my ministry or I'm doing my ministry to encourage you to do your ministry and you do not do your ministry, you are the one who is going to hang. You're going to get into trouble. Now look at all of you. I don't know most of you here, 90% of the people here, I don't know you and many of you are not here because I think we are having the camp in the wrong way in the terms of some of you didn't know. I mean just being organized in the wrong way. So many, many, many of you are not here who should have been here and I don't know you. So those who, how, how come you are part of us because somebody is doing his ministry. It's not because I don't come to Zimbabwe much. How can I come to Zimbabwe? But there are 40 something countries in Africa. If I'm to visit one country every month, it's 12 months old. Yeah, that is sub-Saharan Africa. I cannot come. Are you understanding what I'm saying? Yeah, that's just Africa. So we cannot do that. And in Ghana we have 9 regions, 10 regions. And in the capital city we have many areas. And in every church we have many departments and in AKA, I have a lot of pastors and so many, many, many things to do. Nobody can do a lot of things. So you have your ministry. Me, my ministry is different from your ministry. When it gets to him, they say silos Ankara to the podium to the stage for your judgment commencing now and you are going to say Bishop that I will not of no importance there Lighthouse whatever of no no importance. Yeah, you and your calling and your ministry. So ask yourself, we are 21 so but lighthouse don't think of lighthouse who think of you as a person. How can ask Silas Ankara of Ghana born, born when 1917 died 2000 and and then the date will come. Hey, ministry location and then there was the ministry location. But OK, judgment commence now. Ministry Harriers confirm callings confirm callings Pastor Prophets and evangelists Ministries accomplished Prostor Prophet Evangelist zero OK to the five no prostor and also present the camp evangelist not perform at all. Take through now pastoral calling step out now step forward pastoral calling assessment begin now. According to the judgment, your third calling as an advantage. You didn't even do it at all like it was 0 Yeah. So they're not going to take you on through the two your pastoral and your prophetic and not going to take through. Yeah, colleagues, colleagues completed. Finish, finish, finish. Callings 0 call up aposta. Aposta not completed. Call a prophet not completed. Certain countries to be visited, never visited. Works to be done. Total number of souls. Total number of souls condemned to hell due to the absence of the Ministry of Silence and the number of souls. Total number absent. Total number presence. Yeah, you've got to be careful. Don't think in a group way. Don't think in a group way, especially for judgement. Think in a group way for family and for fellowship. And us believe that God made us together because he has put us together in a spiritual family to work together. But for judgment, you will answer one by that's how that's can't you see even death many times death is a judgment like it's a decision that you should come out now and it's like it's all individual. That's why that's when you see that your marriage is just an arrangement. That's when you see that marriage is not important. The way God can extract a husband and leave a wife and extract a wife and leave a husband and just leave them. It's like, it's like you are, you are not living together. When Gordin Lindsay died, he was sitting on stage. It was their 20th anniversary or 25th anniversary or something anniversary. He was sitting on stage. He was sitting on stage facing the congregation. The congregation was looking at him when he was on stage and during the great anniversary of their ministry, he was sitting there and he just as in the middle of the of the anniversary Sunday of their ministry cries for the nations. He just came down like that. He just died on the stage. Just he was just taken out and the wife lived for another about 40 years. Yeah, just took him out, out of the out of suddenly he just slapped over like that and went and the wife was sitting there. Something is happening. He was gone structured. That's where you see that you are an individual and that marriage is an arrangement of domestic value and also demonic value. Sometimes to fight the ministry because it presents it as a tool and also can be of help. But the help is often perverted because the original plant in the Garden of Eden was a perfect man being helped by a perfect woman, and then man fell and became twisted and now many of you are married. How much do you help your husband? You don't even like him. You are more of a challenger than a helper. Every day it is you who can say certain things that nobody can say. Yeah. I don't fear you. I don't fear you at all. Yeah. How much do you help him even when you are all past and before I realise you are now a challenger, almost like AI know 11 wife. She left her. I started another church. They they broke the church into two. She took half and he also took half of the members. So you must be careful. That's why you see that you stand alone and in the Church, when there are committees, groups, bishops, friends, everybody said when it comes to judgment, stand alone. They will call me like this. That's why. And he might another and then he might another. So in the judgment, which one would be his wife? But he has seven women. Look, forget about that. Why do you think Jesus did he marry? So think of God and how you stand before God. Yeah, that's why people who because of my husband, because of my wife, I don't fulfill my call because of my husband, God has called you back because of my husband. I know I don't do nowadays. At first I used to look at it and say, oh, it's good they preserve their family. But as eternity is approaching, I'm. I'm questioning that thing. Yeah, by the time you hit eternity, you see that this man didn't let me preach. I couldn't do anything for God. I had to even leave the church, which I was flowing in and where everything was working because of this guy. And he rather even backslate after. And I followed it in the name of marriage. And here I am a useless field with nothing because of marriage. And the marriage, too, has turned this way. And the same thing goes for the man. So everybody, Charlie, get ready to stand alone. You see how Stalas was called out alone? Yeah, he was selected out of the people here and the way they were shouting his colleagues and it seemed that you were not even interested in your number of houses, cars, wife, children, said three callings, a prophet, pastor and evangelist, one not attended to at all, remain that 2. Did he finish the ones that No, all of them not finished. And then judgment is coming on. Stand to your feet, close your eyes and pray for a moment. The. Thank you Lord, in the name of Jesus Father, we are grateful. We thank you in Jesus name, Amen.
