Welcome to track #7 of the secrets of the anointed in his anointing. Now did I give you the next point, which is what? Respond to the anointed with his anointing in time by the fruitful in time in time now mark 11, mark 11, hello mark 11 and we are going to read from best. The 12th on the Morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry and seeing a fig tree, Aparo, and having his leaves, he came happily. That's the anointed with his anointing. The anointed came to the tree to see if there was any fruits. Which is anointed. Yeah, and today you are the tree and the anointed as it comes to a tree at a particular time to see if there's fruit. And when he came, he found nothing but leaves. Leaves are raps. Raps talking, talking, no action. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples had it. So he cast the tree. That's 20 in the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remember and said, Yo the fig tree without cast it is withered away. Amen. So you ask yourself why Jesus cares the tree. And the reason that he cares the tree was that at the time that he needed fruit, there was no fruit, no show at that time. Oh yeah, it's not the season, but that's the time that he wanted. So when the anointed with this anointing comes to you and there is no fruit of a certain kind at a particular time, you will become what we call kiss. And instead of getting blessings, you don't get blessings. So there's a certain time related response. You see that see when an anointed person comes to you, he has blessings in him. He can release blessings. He can also kiss. So when the anointed with his anointing came to the fig tree, the fig tree could have received a blessing. But instead of receiving a blessing, the fig tree received a test. And that test was because at this particular time. So I said, oh, I'll bear fruit after school. Oh, our bear fruit. When I finish marriage, Oh, our bear fruit or whatever. You are nothing, OK? And you cannot decide when to bear fruit. God knows when you need to bear fruit, and bearing fruit is not always that you bear fruit. You bear fruit at a particular season of your life. A woman does not have. I need some volume up. It's making it sharp. A woman does not have her period all through her life. You have your period passed at a certain point and then it ends long before you die. Long before you die, you stop having your period. Not just before you die, you don't stop having your period when you are about to die. You stop having your period long. Yes, you can have half of your life without your period and half of your life with your period. You think you have your period for most of your life, that you can have exactly half. Yeah. Because if you if you were to 15, just for the sake of the exercise, 15 years of when you started and you end at 50, that's 35 years of having periods. OK. Then the 1st 15 years and then 20 years after, without no period again after 50, that's 20. Plus the 1st 15 is 35. So you have 35 years of no periods and 35 years with periods. Yeah. So when you counted that way, you realize that you there's a certain time only that you can bear fruit. Yeah. You are not fruitful always. And the same thing spiritually. You are not fruitful always. In fact, your fruit may not even be needed always. Yeah. And so it's important that fruitfulness is related to timeliness. So for instance, when I'm dealing with the people who sing on the crusade stage, especially when either, because either would have the habit of taking their eyes off me when, when we are there and they have the rules, never take your eye off you. Once I'm there, you keep your eye on you because I have signal and there's only a particular moment. I need you to say I am the Lord. I live there after test. I don't need the song when I'm eating. I don't need the song when I'm meeting with some people, I don't. It's only at that particular moment that I need that thing. So if you don't have it at that particular moment, you have no use to me. I can just kiss you and then you disappear. So Don in working with you is not working looking for you. You know, just one day when you are OK. It needs a particular food at a particular time. So once the anointed comes into your life with his anointing, there comes a time when he looks to you that he will bear a particular food and do something at a particular time. After that time, it is not necessary anymore. Yes. If I had decided that I was going away from Ghana and I was going to finish my specialization in my cardiothoracic surgery and neurosurgery and all these things and finish, when I finish, I've come to Ghana at the age of about 45, that will just be four years ago that I'll be starting the ministry. It will be just four years ago I started, I just started the ministry four years ago, Yes. And I say, oh Lord, I'm here now. Things are going to begin to happen. Use me now, Lord. Wow. Out of pass the stage where Yogito came to dedicate the church, all those things would have been they already have have way of the joke to feed the check. I mean the Crusades we have had all over the country and the churches that have been built all over the cathedrals, the building, all those things are passed into the Bush. I have now come with my foot a lot. Here I am Lord. Lord, I'm waiting on you now Lord. Move Lord. Take my hands Lord and my feet. If you can use anything Lord. Use me now, Lord, and you are now coming to bear fruit. And so sometimes we are surprised when we receive a case because at the time that God needed all of you who are children who God has given to me to fight together with. Well, it will be lost and I'm so happy as I said, that's all. Yeah, when I say I don't have confidence before God because I'm, I'm afraid of this type of thing that you feel happy with yourself, that you are somebody or you are doing something that well, God looks at you. He was now looking for an Angel from the Galaxy to come and give you a kind of knock, a Galaxy Angel as you are happily praising yourself. So those of you who are giving God his timetable, you know you are giving God a timetable of when he can have find you. Take note that God doesn't listen to your timetable. You may make your plan that you will make it in vain because God doesn't follow anybody's timetable. He follows his own timetable. If you don't join in, you are out. If you don't join in, you are out. So as you are here, don't say, oh Lord, when I finish school, I'll be available for your work. No, there's fruit now. Now Jesus wants food from you. That's why all of you must become preachers and counselors and ministers. So why you? When we go and people see us dancing, so shouldn't they? Is it? They'll find out that they are the most serious churches in the school. Most dead, dead serious. Those people. Don't be deceived by their colorful T-shirts. It's just a couple fight for their like means on wild animals on campus. Yeah, some be deceived by their playing, They see them dancing and all those things. Some be deceived by their very. They have a certain minds as you see them on campus. There are really some way these people. Yeah. So have the minds that are needed now. And I will bear fruit now. There is never wait later when it comes to God. You can never say to God wait. If I call one of the people that work for man, I say so. And so can you say wait? You just wait. What does it mean? Yeah. So make sure you are bearing fruits, timely fruits, timely fruits. Now you are young enough to bear fruits. And let me tell you, young people, that is why I encourage all young people, those who like music. Is there anybody who likes music? There is Christian music of every type. You are looking at somebody who likes sounds and sound systems. Yeah. In pieces, Yeah, pieces and sound. With sound. Many times I don't play music in a car because the sound, the sound destroys the sound. The sound spoils the sound. You need to hear it in a way, yeah. Then you can sense the sensations of the different aspects of the music. Any type of trail sounding, whatever, just playing at the back. I don't like that. I want real music. All those are part of Christianity. You get it? We have music in the church. We have dancing in the church. We have relationships in the church version. We have. We have our church version. OK, let's finish this. The devil doesn't want us to hear this, but we're going to hear it anywhere. What is the point? We are on watching the anointed operating in his anointing. Now this comes in because I read in Acts chapter 1. Did you see this one? What does it say? Oh, Theophilus. Of all that Jesus began to do and to teach. Amen. Now turn one page back to John 21, verse 24. This is the disciple which testifies of these things and wrote these things. We know that his testimony is true. Verse 25 There are also many other things which Jesus did the which if they should be written everyone. I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. So this is the doing dimension of the anointing. There is no way you can learn or receive the anointing by listening. In this case, you need to receive. You need to watch the anointed and his anointing operating in his anointing. This is the key. That is why there are things you can get by listening, but there are things you can get by watching a video that you would never get by listening to a cassette. Yeah. And there are things you must see. You must see. It's a must see. Yeah. See. One assist one do one assented. Yes. So you must open yourself whenever you are in the presence of the anointed. Who has this anointing? Your eyes must be open in a particular way because some people's eyes are not open in a good way and they are looking out for different things. Are you with me? Yes. Your eye must be open to see the anointed operating in outside. And the first thing. So what are the things you must see? What are the things you must watch for? OK, and #1 is that you must watch with heightened alightness as soon as you see the anointed operating in his anointing. At that point your interest should rise greatly. Now you may be with the anointed who is now eating pupu and soup or banku and kiluwili and at that point the person is not operating in his anointing. Now you see that somebody will now start paying close attention to the bangku and keluwili with chicken that you are eating. What a combination. And your comments will now be ha, you really like Bangku or you really like Keluwili or hey, this man can eat a lot of chicken. This is how your attitude, your, your antennas have gone up and your eyesight has moved to all the wrong things which are not necessary for the anointing. Amen. And that is why I am telling you that there is a way you must see, because some of you, all you see is what hair did she have? What dress is he wearing? What clothes? What is he doing? You know, things which are not necessary. One day a pastor came to my car and then he started examining the car. He started examining the car. Yes. His heightened alertness came when he saw my car and he was found examining the car. This guy is this, this is this, it's like this. It does this, it does this. So you are, your eyes are tuned to something that is not necessary. Amen. Are you there? So the anointed and the anointed, you must immediately notice his operating in his anointed. Then #2 you must see the characteristics that make the operations of the anointed, anointed. Like what is it? What are the elements that reveal the anointing in this thing? You understand when you are watching the anointed with his anointing operating in his anointing and you can see that he has started operating in his anointing. The question you must ask yourself are what are the unusual or supernatural elements which are striking about the operation of the anointing which the anointed is operating in? You know why I'm saying this is because sometimes wonderful things are happening, but we are unable to see that they are happening. When it's very wonderful and amazing. You can't even notice that it's wonderful and it's amazing. For instance, you've been watching the worship stars. How many of those that they are getting better? How many of those who are not watching that you started notice? You see, they've already celebrated now, but that's a wonderful thing to watch because it is the anointing. The anointed is operating in this anointing. That is how come we are moving steadily into a particular direction. Yes, but you see, people don't recognize the unusual element. And those things should attract you because those are the elements which clearly are the work of the Holy Spirit, which a person cannot do naturally. Amen. Are you listening to me now? When people become disconnected from the anointed through disobedience, they are also disconnected from this particular dimension of watching the anointed operating in his anointing. Yes. So in the last few years, for me, many pastors who I trained and who I appointed and ordained, who felt that they knew now everything stop watching the one who was sent to them as they anointed with his anointing. And because of that, many of the things which come only by watching, they do not have. And it is obvious that they do not have. Now, how do you know that there is an element? What are the things that you must watch out for? I've given you 21 is what when he has started to operate in the anointing And then #2 the characteristics that make what? Yes, the operations of the anointed, anointed. OK, Then the third thing is you must watch the third thing type of thing to watch it. You must watch what the person doesn't teach about. See, there are some things that are absent in everybody's preaching and sometimes the reason why the person doesn't preach it or teach it is because it is so basic to the person that he doesn't see why he should say so. Sometimes the most basic thing that the person believes in and has the anointing for is what people who are close to the anointed never receive. Look, and it happened to me one day when I went to Korea. I've been going to Korea for at least seven years to 10 years and one day I decided on a Sunday to go to the church again, where you go, you are just watching. So I, I gotta bless me greatly through Yong Gicho. My ministry is greatly blessed through Yong Gicho. He's one of the partners that I have in the ministry greatly. There are a lot of things I can show you. All this is Yong Gicho, Yong Gicho, Yong Gicho, Yong Gicho working. I thought that I knew everything, so one day I was there. But just because I was blessed just to be there, I did not disconnect myself. As I was standing outside the church on a Sunday morning after about 10 years of going there, I suddenly had the revelation of the greatest key to church growth with Yongichu practices and uses which he has never even mentioned. Never. All his books derive cell system, prayer days. What I saw he never mentioned, not even a mention. And today that key has become a very important key. But I will not even mention it. But I realized that look, watch the anointed operating in his anointing. Watch him closely because you may never know limited what you will see one day, you could just strike it up. Wow, this is what I never knew. Amen. Watch the anointed operating in his anointing. The next thing that you must watch out for when you are watching the anointed operating in his anointing are natural keys of wisdom that he's applying that he doesn't say or teach because there's no reason to teach it in a church. There is no reason for the anointed to teach certain things in a church. Watching a silly are you silly? OK, do you understand there are certain things the anointed doesn't do, doesn't teach, but he does one day. Are you? No Listen, if you don't get this, you are missing the whole camp. It means you didn't come to the camp if you don't get this Part 1 day I sat down in a restaurant with a great man of God. In fact, actually, restaurants are a good place to receive very important life guidances that come by watching the anointed that he would not say. And the first person that that happened to me was with Archbishop Idahosa. I was in London and he took me to a restaurant in Dahosa. He took me to a restaurant himself and another Bishop and myself and somebody else, four of us, very, very expensive. When I was eating, when I was eating, I finished eating. And I'm not going to tell you the whole, the whole story. When I finished eating, he did something at the table. He asked me whether I've finished eating. I said I've finished. So he did something. He said something that has affected my life. Yes. The second person is Fred Price. Many years ago, he came to Ghana, but he didn't come to preach in our church. He came to somebody else's church. And then he invited me to come for lunch. Something happened and I went for lunch at Latham Hotel. When he finished eating, he did something, Yes. His signal, his signal, his daughter, his daughter was there. He signaled his daughter and then his daughter did something. Yes. And then he did something. Yes, I told you that I'm going mystical, Mystical. And what he, what he did, what he did is amazing. And the Lord said to me, watch what what what he's doing. It is a key to life and long life. Yeah. And he just celebrated his eight years birthday. He's 80 years old. Yeah, in fact, 80 years old. Yeah. What he did, he did it. He did it at at La Pam and the holy truth, but that that was not a left. There was no, no so. But he just, he told his daughter something. His daughter did something. He did something. That is it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The baptism of John is this from God. The baptism of John. Is this from God or from man? I don't know everything about you, so I don't see why you should do everything about me. Yeah. When you are with an anointed person, huh? Who is operating in this anointing? Even when he's not operating in this anointing, as you know, you see that he's doing something. Some of the things are because of the anointing. Watch it. Watch it another time. I was with Yong Gichou. Yeah, and I was not in church. When you are with the anointed who is carrying his anointing, keep your eyes open. Keep all your eight eyes open because you may see something that can help your life. When he was playing for 18 holes, in fact, the person told me, I said normally he doesn't play 18 holes because he was so strong enough to play. I saw something. I saw two things. Not what he said, what he said, what he said to me. I've said it because I asked him a question. He told me and gave me an answer. But I saw two things. Yes. And those two things he ministered to me on the course, on the greens, on the fairways. Listen, my friend, keep your eyes open because the Holy Spirit maybe speaking to you. But especially it was what the price did. He signaled his daughter and his daughter knew exactly what she was supposed to do, and she did something. Then he also did that. I was amazed. Yeah, many things that God has ministered to me through Yong Gicho. It was not his preaching. They were things I saw. I preceded great blessings by watching the Anointed and His Anointed. You know, as long as I wish I was. It's somewhere when you say everything. So I could show you so many things, but I think that I have to go into mysticism a bit, sit down, say thank you. You can never have certain things by hearing and listening. You need to watch the anointed and there is now technology that can allow you to watch the anointed. That's why I learned a lot from watching Kenneth Higgins funeral. I learned a lot about watching the funeral. So by your ears, why watch? Because it says Jesus began to do and to teach. So now everybody open to Matthew in your Bible. I hope your Bible is a red letter Bible. OK, very good. Are you in Matthew? In Matthew you will see the two dimensions of the operations of the anointed in his anointing. Yes, the black, the black part. Look at your Bible. The black, it's what he did and the red is what he thought. These are the 2 dimensions. Look at this, the blacks are the things that he said those are can be caught by hearing and the blacks are what he did that one can be caught by watching. Amen. Is it amazing? Yeah. The black is what he did, the red is what he said, what he thought. These are the two big dimensions of the anointing, what you hear and they are the 2 greatest thoughts apart from your mouth. If your ears and your eyes are going into you a lot. Apart from your mouth going into you, there are only three things that can go into your eyes and your ears. Sound waves, light waves and then put into your mouth. This is where you can receive something. So, brothers and sisters, it's very, very important for you to open your spirit to the visual dimension of the amount as I'm here and even as I'm dressed, as I'm dressed, there's something to to, to see. You may not know and it may like with me, there are so many things I don't even teach. I don't, I don't mention them at all. I don't mention them, but I'm recognizing more and more that it's actually an anointing. In fact, it's a discount that I've ever said that the, the anointing for wealth is on my life. I've never said it before. Yeah, I've not said it before, but I recognize what I realized. Something I don't teach, but I can see that it's there. That's how come, even for Ghana, I have ideas. I have idea. I said no, If we do this, Ghana can make it. Yeah. If you pull the army out of the barracks and bring them to town. Construction education. I'm robbers. All these things will go. Security against all these Boko Harams and new things that are coming. Yeah, but they're all ideas. You become rich. Yeah. Country will change. So people will stop coming to Ghana when they find that Ghana is dangerous. One day we went to a Coconut Grove hotel. We were sitting there by the beach and there was a pastor who practice in Nigeria and he told me as we were sitting there by the hotel, he said that because he had just come from Nigeria, he said that he doesn't feel secure.
