Welcome to Track. #9 Of the sweet influences of the Holy Spirit. Is it amazing? Is it super fantastic? The sweet influences of the Holy Spirit on your level of obedience. 36 verse 26. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you, and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statues. I will cause you to walk in my statues. I will make you obey me, and you will be careful to observe my ordinances. Is it amazing and fantastic? Ezekiel 3626 You see, we are all at a different level of obedience and there are 12 levels of obedience number. And I want to read Second Kings chapter 23 verse 25. It says no king since the time of Josiah has approached his record of obedience. Amen. No king has achieved his record of obedience. Amen. Are you there? No king has achieved his record of obedience. Wow. Amen. No king has achieved his record of obedience. Josiah was a fantastic example. Nobody had achieved his record of obedience. How many want to be obedient to the Lord in all levels? Now Are you ready to eat your dinner? But listen to this, because this is something the Holy Spirit really helps us now. Josiah was a good example of somebody who had really obeyed the Lord, but another person who had also really obeyed the Lord was King David. Because in First Kings chapter 15 verse 5, if you turn with me in First Kings chapter 15 verse 5, the Bible says, because David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord and turn the other side from anything, that he commanded him all the days of his life saved only in the matter of urea the Hittite. So you see that David also had a good record, but the Bible gives his record that he obeyed him in all that he told him, except in the matter of urea, the Hittite. And you see, you must remember that. You see, God is fair and God is just. So even when you make a mistake and you do something wrong, God remembers that you've obeyed him in all these things except in this matter. Are you excited about that? You see, because the Bible says Josiah had no one has approached his level of obedience, his record obedience and David speaking about because God accepts all of us by how much we obey him. We all have a record of obedience or a level of obedience. Now many of us are obeying him in this, in this and this, but not in this and some of us obey the law in this and this, but we don't obey him in marriage. We obey him to do this, to do that. When it comes to who to marry, we wouldn't obey him. We wouldn't obey Him except in the matter of beloved, except in the matter of women, except in the matter of boys, except you've obeyed the Lord in everything except in the matter of this issue that came up. Yeah. So God is observing your level or your record of obedience. How many? One will have a very high record. I mean, like you've obeyed the Lord in all areas, but it's not easy to obey the Lord in all areas. It's not easy to explain the Lord, obey the Lord in all areas because I mean, we all fall short. Father says we all make many mistakes. So there's always some kind of mistake or problem with us. And if God is writing your record of obedience, Gloria, he'll write, he'll obey the Lord in business, maybe except in the matter of this. Wow, it's, is it fantastic? Is it amazing? Is it supernatural? Is it wonderful? There are many wives. They obey the Lord in the matter of praises and worship. They'll obey the Lord in the matter of Bible reading. They obey the Lord in the matter of bringing up their children. They obey the Lord in the matter of five times in the matter of prayer. But in the matter of sex, they don't obey Him except in the matter of sex, except in the matter of Uriah, the Hittites, except the llis lower level interaction. Hey, except in the matter of urea, the Hittites. Now when it comes to obeying God at 12 levels, level #1 is obeying instructions that are pleasurable. That's the lowest level. God tells you to do something that is very nice already. Like for instance, if he says, do your due benevolence, husband, do your due benevolence to your wife, which is talking about sex. I mean, that is a joyous commandment. I mean, Lord, thank you for such a scripture in the Bible. I should render a due benevolence to my wife. Wow. Oh Lord, I, I wish you had written some more about that instruction. I would have. I wish I would have obeyed more. Lord, that's the lowest level. You say, oh Lord, I'm obedient. The second level of obedience is obeying instructions that are in tandem with your personal goals and childhood dreams. Maybe the Lord will tell you an instructions such as seek wisdom for length of days is in her right hand and in her left hand riches and honor. Hey, and you see this level is also not pleasurable, but is in line with your vision of being rich. So you, you, you when you go to church today, you have most, many churches filled with money, loving prosperity, seeking success, orientation, congregation. And then the pastor comes along with a command from God, seek wisdom because in her left hand is long life, right hand is riches. And they say Amen. Amen. I will seek wisdom, I will obey God. God, I will seek wisdom with all my seeking I will seek wisdom. Amen. Pastor, this is a good message. In fact, what the Lord has said to me today, I will be obedient and the thing that he tells me from I receive. You are God servant. You are spoken the word of the Lord to me. I receive it, I receive it, I will obey. Lord, here I am. Send me, send me for riches, send me to take wisdom, send me to get left hand life long life and send me anywhere you go towards these riches. I will seek it for the rest of my life. So the congregations, they are so happy when the pastor comes and he even says he teaches that give it shall be given and they they like it because it's like it shall be given unto you. So wow. When we were teaching about tithing in the church for some time, a lot of people were happy not because they want the work of God to go on, but because it was linked with so many blessings and so many opportunities of the Lord's angels to bless you. And it was in line with their childhood visions of becoming a Prince. And a lot of wives were happy to encourage their husbands because they all want to be married to a Prince. Is it not your dream to be a Princess? Yeah. I mean, I remember we had a camp once and, and asking, I mean, if Prince William proposed to you, will you marry? And the girl said, yes, I will. I mean, he's an unbeliever. He's a Prince of England, man. I mean, why not, man? I mean, it's an opportunity. It's an opportunity. But you got to be careful because he likes flying planes, riding horses, swimming. Can you ride planes? Can you? You don't want to go out. You don't want to do anything. You don't want to move your big bottom. You just want to sit and allow it to spread out and get wider and bigger. You don't want to move. You don't want to do anything. You don't want to go when it's raining. You say. You spoil your head. When the sun is shining. You say it's too hot. You don't want to walk. You don't want to go out. It's raining. When it's raining. You don't want to go out. When it's sunny, sunny. You don't want to go out. You don't want to go anywhere. You don't want to do anything. You want to marry the Prince of England? Joking man. Oh gonna go What is left of you? You don't want it rain, it's raining. You don't want to hold my head when it's got this side. You don't want to go because it's hot. You don't want to walk because you said there's a snake, everything. You don't want to do anything. Number three, third level of obedience is obeying instructions that are reasonable, reasonable. Hey, many of God's commandments are reasonable and easy to understand. For instance, do not steal. It's reasonable because if you steal, you go to prison and nobody wants to go to prison. So when you're here, do not steal the pasta. I will not steal because I will not go to prison. Hey, Lord, I thank you. This is a good man of God. Everything that he's saying is a perfect inspiration to me. I feel that inspiration when he's speaking to me. I don't know. I've never had such a pastor. I've been to so many churches. I feel something moving in me whenever he's speaking because I've been to prison before. But when I came to this test and I had him say that we shouldn't tell, I realized that it's something God himself is telling him. There's a lot of good sense, common sense in that because when I went to prison for five years, I ate one tin of milk of Gary with without Stew for five years. It's reasonable. It makes sense. Why not? That's the third. I have got 12 levels. That's a third level. It's pleasurable, it's reasonable. It's in line with your childhood goals #4 the 4th level of obedience is obeying an instruction that leads to something good for you, that leads to something good for you. And when you hear that, you say how powerful. I really love the way you preach. It's so powerful. I'm really touched this movie when you were preaching, you spoke about honor your father and your mother and you said that when we honor our father and our mother, we will we will live long and it will be wrong with that. I really, I was really touched also. Thank you so much for this. I, I really like your ministry. I'm really touched anytime I come to church, it's such a blessing. Why not? This is something good for you. This is something of your live long and so you'll be blessed by it. You'll be blessed by it. It leads to something good for you. I said it leads to something good for you. The first one is that it's pleasurable, so that's cool, man. The second one is that it's in tandem with your childhood visions. And the third one level of obedience is that it's reasonable, man. It's, I mean, it makes sense. Don't steal, don't go to prison, man. And the fourth level is that it leads to something good for you. 5th level. The fifth level of obedience is obeying instructions. When you know why the instruction has been given. When you know why, like you say, why? Because a black member is chasing you, and a black member can run faster than a sprinter. Did you know that a black member, it will rise from the ground like this. And half of this, half of this is on the ground and half is moving like this. And it's faster than a sprinter, 100 meters. Yes, it's faster. It's faster. Yeah. So when I say Ram, there's a black mamba. You will understand why. Baby, do you understand what I'm preaching about? Hey now when God comes to you with His word, and he says, love your enemies, bless them that cares you do good, pray for them. We despitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father which is in heaven. For he make up his Son to rise on the evil and on the good, and send us grains on the just and the unjust. For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans do the same? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more than others? Do not even the publicans do so? Therefore be ye perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect. He gave the this instruction because he wanted us to be perfect like our heavenly Father. So we can understand why he's giving this instruction. So we'll be like God, like Father Pastor, I really understand. I love these messages teaching us how to be perfect. We love it. We love it here. We love it here how we love it here. We're being blessed. We understand we we can see why you keep on telling us. Bless your enemies. Pray for those who despise. We understand it possible you you make things so easy to understand. We loving you Just I really love this this series, this series you're doing the series of becoming perfect. That's what I really love it. I I tried it's it's it's really touches my arm. It reminds me of it reminds me of I said in general. I used to have tensor years ago. The person was just like you. He was full of wisdom and we could understand all that He was preaching always well. And I'll be starting this speechless now. You see, we are getting to the second-half of the levels of obedience. The fan forms have been quite cool, man. You've been preaching and you've been blessing the pastor every Sunday because he's giving you things you understand. But level #6 is to obey an instruction that you do not understand. You do not understand, hey, Paul said Philippians 4. He said everywhere and in all things I am instructed to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. What? I've been instructed to be hungry and to suffer need. Why? What good does being in need do for a man of God? Does it not make me more always looking for offerings? Don't you think I'll always be looking for an offering from you, my dear? If you give me something, Joanna, you touch my life and when I'm in need. One day I went to a church and the pastor was in need and he preached, he said. But I was coming to church today. Yes, I was there. 31st night. He was crying. No money. Yeah. 1989, nineteen 89. I was there. He preached, he cried. He made us know that he was poor. Why should a pastor supper need patience? This message that you preach, you know that it's difficult to understand. It's different from the first one You were preaching last week. Today, the week ended. It was like it was like in mid air. Didn't seem to actually arrive at the explanation. We're just saying something that did you finish the message? Did you finish the message? I finished the message. The message was that you are supposed to be hungry and suffer needs 7th level of obedience. This is when you have been given an instruction that goes against reason, it goes against common sense. The Lord appeared unto Isaac and said, do not go into Egypt, dwell in the land, the land which had a famine. Yes, this is getting, it's getting different now go, do not go to Egypt, do not go to America, do not go to Britain. Do not go, do not go to all these places. Stay in the language I shall tell thee of. Even ministers of the gospel, huh, do not want their children to become pastors and live in proper poverty stricken Ghana, Mali, Guinea or Niger. Most pastors prevent prefer their children to become doctors, lawyers, businessmen in Europe, America. And they boast about to say, my daughter is in Harvard, my daughter is in MIT, my son is doing her PhD in nuclear physics in America, in Massachusetts, in Boston. My daughter is getting married. So this professor, she met him, he comes from Puerto Rico, and they're getting married in December. Whoa. It's my daughter, my daughter, my son. Yeah. Is it not true? And then God said, don't go there. It goes against you because I tell you, you have a better life. You have a better life. At least anything you need to buy. You can go to a shop. You go to America, you have a better life. You have a better hospital. You're going to have a baby. You better. You're safer having a baby in America. You better safer having a baby in England than having a baby in Ghana or having a baby in Copperidua, or having a baby in Dunker Chrome or Shaman Junction. You'll be safer up having a baby in Newark City or Newark or New Jersey. You'll be safer, baby two or not 233. I mean, you can just ring 911 and the doctor's going to come. Ambulance is going to come. They save you. I mean, there's no chance of you dying. Maternal mortalities. There's zero. There's nothing like maternal mortality. What are you talking about? You don't see doctors going to a blood bank to beg for blood, and since what kind of nonsense is that? Queuing for blasts, begging for blasts to save their life #8 getting stronger now. 8 levels of obedience. It's obeying instructions that are painfully difficult. Now there are some instructions from the Lord that are painfully difficult. They are difficult to obey, like tithing when you don't have enough already. Think about it, you don't have enough money and your money is not going to get to the end of the week or the month, and the Lord said give 10% of the money. Is it painfully difficult? Is it fantastically painful? How many are paid ties Painfully. Before it was painful. How many are partly difficult to pay ties? Yeah, it's normal because your money is not much. Yeah, not much. Not percent of the not much. You take out 10%. Meanwhile, you're owing money for the shoes that you bought, for the hair that you bought when you went to the hairdresser. You are paying every week #9 The 9th level of obedience is obeying instruction that make you unpopular. That is why most prophets are predicting good things. Have you ever seen a presidential candidate who didn't have a prophet, who didn't tell him he was going to win? And you start to declare bad things, war, death, that who will, who likes you. Jeremiah went to prison because he was saying these things that were not popular. It's not easy to be unpopular, to be disliked. God will say say this. And when you say everybody is against you, like some of the things I say about Ghana girls, I lose popularity with some of the Ghana girls. I don't mind. I don't care. Yeah, I don't care if the Ghana girls don't like me, I'll say it anyway because they know what I'm saying is true. Yeah. You wait. You'll be in your room tonight. I will appear there with my camera and I'll say as a Bishop, no, no, no. And I'll say, are you Bab male? Amen. The 10th level of instruction is obeying instructions that are bizarre, bizarre, bizarre. Amen, Amen. Hey, mercy, when God told Abraham, take every man child among you shall be circumcised, and you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. It shall be a token of the covenant. You see, this is how it happens. Moses was leading the people. Everything was going well. Then he came one day and he said, you know, I have a new idea. Yes, a new idea. Now all penises are going to be cut. You know, I think we should cut them. What say yeah and it's going to be a mark. That's going to be a mark. Your penis will be different from other penises. That's how we will know that you are bizarre. Like in in medicine when we are talking, when we are talking about mental health, we have what we call bizarre delusions and non bizarre delusions. And this, this is a bizarre instruction. So he said so then somebody leaves their hand. Please can I ask the question? So it is a mark, how will people see that mark? Because it is usually covered. So how will people see the mark? This mark, you are saying that it's a mark that will the covenant that we will see. How will people see? Because normally it's only when we are going to renew that you may remove it. Water. Stop. But no, no, no, no, I insist. God has told me. Everybody bring your penis. OK, next. Now we need a stone. I want to use a stone. Of course I need a stone because remember they did not have, they did not have knives, they did not have surgical. Yeah. So we are going to use a stone and form a line 123. Then you take off your trousers, you put in there like that. OK, so you come. OK, Yeah. So come next. I think God has told me this is what I should do to all of you. Come next. Next hold him emojis is not mad for the leader, next for him No, no. Next. I've got it. OK. Now 2 weeks later others will come and say the whole thing is swollen. Yeah, you can imagine the infections, Yes, shock blood infections. Bizarre instructions. You see that I was telling you the first level, it's even it's pleasure to you, it's reasonable, it's in line with your visions. You understand why. But this one, you said that it will be a mark. Meanwhile, if if you are ashamed, you are not castrated or we cannot know, never know. Yeah, bizarre #11 the 11th level of obedience is obeying instructions that give rise to obvious evils. Like when you update, something bad will happen. You know it's an evil thing. Not that it's an evil instruction, but it will lead to an evil example. Hosea, the Lord first spoke through. Hosea, the Lord said, go and take yourself a wife who is a prostitute and have children with this prostitute, for the land commits flagrant harlotry, forsaking the law. So then Hosea went and got one of the harlots. Come and be a harlot. So when he brought her to the house, and then he put her in the room, Sit down, my darling. And he was waking up and I said, which instruction is this? Then he took her to the room. Come to the room, come here, come here. Don't look. We are in our private room. Don't your eyes, we are in our private room. Then he started to see what? Then when he looked down there, he saw you see a place that is full of certain juices. I went inside the eyes. The stems from some Amalekites, the stems of other Gemusites and Hittites are still there. That's why I said close your eyes. I'm doing some private things. Let me see close your eyes. What did I say? Some boils is called happy simplex type 2. Now God says I should, I should go into this one. And I'm not even feeling erection because the things that I saw there, well utilized, well utilized, the stems of Jebusite and Philistine are still there. All travellers who have been passing by. It's a travellers check. Travellers check. Yeah. Is it not amazing? Is it not fantastic? Is it not supernatural? Hey. So that's why, that's why I say that. I mean, it's the Holy Spirit influence that can help you to obey even at the levels get higher. You see that without the Holy Spirit, you cannot obey all your family members. Is it calm my down? Calm my down daddy. This is the woman daughter of After that I would like to marry her. What is her name Buddy? What is her name? She is PRPRPR. Is that public relations name again Princess PR Princess She works for a public relations company. PR is for the work, the original work, that she it's a professor, not a professor or a professional. No, not a professional. PRP Princess, I shall not be a doctor. No, Prince. I don't like that doctor. So it's actually, this is something God told me that I mean, I don't want God. Yeah, it is God who told me it is not something that it was working at this place, at the roadside, working at the roadside. So I was working on the roadside. Oh, Daddy, Daddy, daddy place. It's a story to happen. It's a spiritual thing that I'm a story. I want to Facebook hold me. I'm saying, oh, daddy, that is so that it's so that I'm mad. It's a spiritual thing. It's a story. Hello. You want to disgrace me? You want to disgrace our family name? No, our family name. Look, even it is not. I don't like even this color. It's not my color. I don't like this color. It's not because of me. It's the only spirit of Holy Spirit. I want to faint again. Daddy. Daddy, don't die. It's something I wouldn't have chosen. It is not my time. It's not even my time. But he told me I should give up with her. I will say nothing about anything anymore. Oh, I'm feeling it like a curse. But anyway, listen, I know you have worked. Have you bathed? Look, where's my this thing? Halassa. Come. Halassa. I need this thing. That's all. I have to bath. Domestos. You know Domestos. I know Domestos. And then what? Savlon. I have Savlon. And then I need this thing, this brush, the toilet brush I want. I need a but buy a slim 1 slim toilet brush. I didn't, but you see. Something that he has told me. I've decided. Alassa, have you brought the toilet brush? Bring the toilet brush. Brush and the brush. That's all. Yeah. This is the new brand. The new brand of the Tour. This is the new one. That's all. New brand. Where is the Domestos? I need Savlon. Yes, I need one of the Midsaban. Camp. Two of the Midsaban and that's it. Look, wash wash hair. I don't want to see. Take care. Should I supervise? You don't respect her. You don't respect. I love her. You don't respect. That is a wife. I know that you have been with her before, but it's not a wife. Water. Have you got a toilet brush? Toilet brush? I need some of the ladies to cover. Yeah. Cover hair. Go to washer, go round Palasa. Don't look at Yeah, yeah, preparing her. Yeah, preparing her. She's screaming. It doesn't matter. Do it. Well, a lot of things are that. Do it well. After you say, after you say, it is because of God has decided to marry you. It is because of God. Watch, watch, watch, watch it well. OK, have you finished? OK, Bring, bring. Bring her. As a prophet, Hosniah and the word of the Lord came to me that I should marry her. It's not that I don't know what is a good woman, and I don't want anybody here to think that I have ulterior booties or that I used to go to her during my ministry in the secrets. Now I'm trying to legalize everything. It's not that something that a word of the Lord came to me that this is the one and I should take. Even they have bathed, they have washed everything. So I think it's OK. They have sprayed the place, sprayed it, sprayed it. So don't be proud. It's not because of something that has married me. You. Yes. Yes, Sir. Always call me Sir because I would. I would never have married you, my Lord. First call me Sir. Yes, Sir. Never call me that. Say say, never call me Hosea. Yes, Sir. Oh, darling, never use that word, darling. Or laugh. It's it's my work. It's because of my work. I'm not your sweetheart. And it is because of God. Let's go to the house because of God. Look at what I've got. Tonight is our first night. Sit down. I'm coming to pray. Oh God, protect me from evil. Save me from HIV because oh Lord. I've heard that they charge 15 CDs for with condom. Without condom is 2000 CDs. Have you have you used without condom before? I think so. Where are the washers? See that all of you like these things too much like this, and the highest level of obedience is obeying an instruction that will lead to your death. You know you will die from it. And then he took him the 12 And he said, Behold, we go to Jerusalem, and all the things which are written of the prophets, huh? All the things which are written of the prophets concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished. He shall be delivered, mocked, spitefully, entreated, and spit on him, and they shall schedule and put him to death. This is the highest level of opinions because it is the obedience that leads to your death. So only the Holy Spirit can let you do some of these things. Bizarre. Harmful. Yeah. And that is why some of you are prepared. You're not even thinking of going to America. It's the Holy Spirit who's making you do that. You're thinking of going to a country somewhere. It's because of the Holy Spirit. If that's not the Holy Spirit, you cannot just do something that is contrary to reason. When the whole world is heading to Europe and America, you are heading in the opposite direction. Yes, when everybody's leaving, you are saying. When everybody's finding greener passes, you are doing the opposite. It's the Holy Spirit who makes people obey Him. Yeah. When I finished medical school, policemen made me stay in Ghana against reason. My mother-in-law spoke, my father-in-law spoke. They all spoke. My father said you can't do what you want to do. And it goes against reason, it goes against pleasure, it goes against everything. One day I went to Switzerland with my wife and the Swiss government. They thought I had come to stay there, so they they sent letters to all different departments and they started posting letters to me, me and my wife. In one of the letters they gave us adverts, adverts. They gave us adverts of yachts that we can buy because they have on their record that a lawyer and a doctor have come to Switzerland. So they gave me like the yachts, the boats we can buy for the lakes, different things as we are going to be at the top highest level of society. Yeah. And we see all those bushes of yachts to buy as a doctor and a lawyer, is it not fantastic? Is it not amazing? Is it not supernatural? And then I said no, I'm going back to Collegiano where the people persecute us and drive us away as if we were come to do something bad. It's amazing that only the Holy Spirit can make you go and do something that it seems to even be destroying you. But it's not destroying you. God has not destroyed. God builds you up and I see him building you up, so I don't want you to take you see if you are a pastor, don't take the willingness of the people as or they are young. No, it's the Holy Spirit. Don't take the obedience of the people as or they are young. They are fools. They are no fools. The Holy Spirit. There are a lot of young people who are not here and a lot of young people who will not do it. They will never do it. Take it from they will not do it. Even amongst you in the first time. Not everybody will do. Yeah, not everybody. Even that People said we'll be at the camp. They didn't come. Yeah. So I know. That's why I always wait for somebody to obey. I don't listen to. Oh, we want to. We want to. When I see you, then I believe. Yeah. It's not talking. You see, there's people, they say. But then you see there's somebody that he's doing it. He's the Holy Spirit. So me, I don't take your gift as natural. He's the Holy Spirit, even all these people, Bezalil and all the look, God gives dream in a book. That means I was an unbeliever, He gave me a dream.

Is it amazing? Great. It's getting better. Can somebody open the windows please? Was this close by Ghana boys or Ghana girls? All right, Father, we are thanking you for your blessedness here in Jesus name, Amen. The sweet influence. How many do you have? 12 But you have more than 12 because you have the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit on your intelligence. Is it not true? And what else was that? The only one? OK, now the sweet influence of the Spirit on your charisma. Through the influence of the spirit, you will be charismatic. How many would like love to be charismatic? And I, I do not think you even know what it means to be charismatic. So turn with me to Romans chapter 12. Romans chapter #12 There is another name I could have given this massage. I could have called it the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit on your magnetism, but I want to be conservative and use a name or a word that you may feel is more spiritual now, the word charismatic or charisma. I'm going to give you names, and then when you have children, you can have three names for your children. All right, having gifts differing according to the grace given to us. Amen. That is given to us with a prophecy. Let us prophecy according to the proportion of our faith Amen. Now the word charisma comes. There are three words that you need to know, and the first is charis, Amen, and the second is charisma, all right. And the third is charismata. So your three children can be called Charis, Charisma, and Charismata. In the verse that we just read, you see these words. But before I let me give you the meaning of the words. Harris means grace. And when you add ma, when you add ma to the Harris. Yet another beautiful word, charisma, which is manifestation of grace. When you add ma to charis, the Greek word changes from charis to charisma, and there you have manifestations of grace, Manifestation of grace. And then when you add tap to the charisma, you have charismata, which means multiple manifestations of grace, multiple manifestations of grace. Is it fantastic? It's already getting fantastic, isn't it? So in Romans 12, the 6th, it says having them gifts or having them charismata, differing according to the grace or according to the charis that is given unto us. Let us use them. Amen. So right within that vest you have charismata, and this is multiple manifestations of grace. Let us use them. So now one of the things that the Holy Spirit does is that he increases your level of charisma. The manifestation of grace on your life is, is what is brought by the Holy Spirit. It's an influence on the Holy Spirit and manifestation of grace. Now, whenever you see that word, Paris, the IT means especially from the Greek, it means beauty or gracefulness. Amen. Beauty and gracefulness. So your beauty and your gracefulness is multiplied. If I it comes from the holy, the presence of the Spirit, the influence of the Holy Spirit. Yes, your beauty and your gracefulness, it comes from the Holy Spirit. That is why people who are anointed rarely struggle to get somebody to marry them. Because yes, yes, the virgins love them. True, the charisma, the manifestation of gracefulness and beauty. That is why a true spiritual Pilgrim should not look at and four bottoms and breasts. Are you there? You are going home. Look for manifestations of grace and beauty, gracefulness and beauty that comes from the Holy Spirit. Yes, look for them. Manifestations of gracefulness, multiple Charismata. I've given you three names for your three children. Charis, Charisma and Charismata. Are you there? Amen. So God causes, you see, that is why people attend programmes, people come to churches, people come to crusades, people listen to people because God by the Holy Spirit endows them with gracefulness and beautifulness. And so there's an attraction or some kind of appeal and magnetism and you say many times you think that it is the person is handsome or beautiful or whatever. When I tell you it is, you see that that is what I'm saying, that an an unspiritual person has an interpretation for many things that God is showing you. It's just like saying where where did the Vipers come from? Where do the snakes come from? Where do these and that God caused creeping things to for the earth to bring forth the creeping things? They came out of the earth and everywhere at the same time, Snakes, Vipers, cobras, they came out of the earth. That is why. Because I can tell you I have no explanation for the presence of a Viper here and at the same time 1 is in Australia. Do you know how many hours it takes to fly to Australia flying 14 hours non-stop from Johannesburg? You have to fly to Johannesburg six hours and fly 14 hours, 15 hours non-stop at 1000 kilometers per hour to get to Australia. Yeah, I've done it before. That's how far it is. And the same stick that is here in Mampong is there in Australia. I mean, I don't know how it got there. Because God caused the waters to be separated, the land to appear, and then he commanded the things to bring forth. Yeah. That's how he created animals, man. He created one. But the animals, he caused them to come out of the earth. Yeah. Are you there? You are going home. So we we call these the gifts of the Spirit. Amen. And we all know that if you turn with me, the First Corinthians chapter 12, these are the things that come from the Holy Spirit. Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have your ignorance. There's four. Now there are diversities of gifts of charisma, but the same spirits, Amen. So there are diversities of charisma, of charismata, manifestations of grace, gracefulness that comes from the Spirit that is the same Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who makes you gracefully able to sing, to preach, to minister, to have any form of gracefulness, beauty about you. Now, the gracefulness that God gives and the beauty that God gives come from a wide variety of things. So I'm going to give you a long list of charismata which can make you attractive. I see your level of attractiveness rising magnetism. The level of magnetism is going higher today and I'm going to divide the charismata into several different sections. Number one, basic charismata. Now you see, I don't think you are getting what I mean by gracefulness and beautifulness, but your gracefulness is going to multiply greatly. Are you ready for the basic charismata? Then I'll give you personal charismata, and then I'll give you ministry charismata. All these charismata will affect your life and make you graceful and beautiful. But I think let me first give you the meaning, what it means when the Holy Spirit is, what it means for the charismata to be poured out on you. How it means number one, you're going to become graceful #2 elegant. It means elegant wow, which means displaying effortless beauty and simplicity in movement and execution. So you see, when Ida is singing, she displays effortless beauty and simplicity in movement and execution. That is somebody who has got a charismat her for for singing. Yeah, it makes the best attractive because honestly, singing makes her attractive. Yes, and it's not the not the subject that she did in school or her her name of Indaku or, or or whatever do or whatever. I mean, these are not what makes her gracefully elegant and and, and and and attractive. And I'm telling you, it's a commiss matter that God gave you, that have made you attractive. All this offender who rape you, I saved you and whatever 'cause you did UST technology, whatever French course are Benin and all these, these are not have made you attractive at all. None of these have made you elegant. God has given you something that makes you display effortless beauty and simplicity in movement and execution. Tasteful. That's what has made you tasteful in appearance, behaviour or style tasteful. In appearance and behaviour and style. Tasteful. #2 to to be given charisma or to be made charismatic is to be made artistic. Artistic. What it means to be made charismatic? Charismatic means I mean gifted and gracefulness and beauty. You see this? This is something only God gives, OK? It's not your chemical. I don't know what you did in school, chemical, whatever. All that your family comes from Ngua or your family is from Ngua or Botte Doku or what I mean, these are not attractive. None of these I've made you graceful or beautiful or elegant or tasteful. If you are here and you want to become attractive, shattered with gracefulness, June is the Holy Spirit and all these are from the Spirit. You said there are diversities, diversities, diversities of, of, of charismatics of things that make you graceful and beautiful and attractive and tasteful diversities. Wow, sit down. I don't know why you are standing. You forgotten your name. You see, your name is not adding any elegance. Another one. It means to be made elegant, elegance, artistic. Now artistic. That is why all the acts, all the elegance, you see, all those were gifts from God, Michael Jackson, and all these people. You see the Bible says, What hast thou that thou didst not receive? What hast thou that thou didst not receive? What do you have that you did not receive? Any man who comes into this world, God has placed gifts and abilities in them, whether they choose to use it to glorify God or they choose to use it for whatever is up to them. The Bible says, what hast thou that thou didst not receive your beauty and your gracefulness. I mean, when you look at Michael Jackson's dancing is graceful, is is just effortless beauty, elegance, you see them sinking, you just marvel. And whether you are a Christian or not a Christian, you just look and you just you are just amazed. Yeah. And God gives all these gifts. Babo says, what hast thou thou didst not receive? And if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as though thou didst not receive it? First Glory Intense Chapter 4 by 7. Why? Then it means to be made fluent. Fluent, fluent. See, when there is a charismata on you, different charismata. And fluent means expressing yourself regularly, clearly and effectively. Yeah, expressing yourself regularly, clearly and effectively. If gracefulness comes on to preach and express yourself readily that Jesus expressed himself readily, clearly and effective. After today we can remember they wake you up in the morning. You remember the story of the prodigal son. They wake you up tomorrow when you give him backslidden. You will know the story of the man going from Jericho. You know every story. I mean, he expressed himself readily because the fullness of the Spirit was upon it makes you one of the things that it it means to be given that gracefulness is to be made fluent. I didn't invent these words. These are these are words in the dictionary. The meaning of gracefulness, the meaning of grace in the Greek, the word charisma is the word charisma is interpreted gracefulness and beauty. So if God gives Lulu charisma, he's making Lulu graceful and beautiful. Yeah, graceful and beautiful. So there's some gracefulness given to her and some beauty given to her. So she will be attractive. See that attract, that attraction works in different ways. It works in different ways. The way it works is that number one, it can attract a congregation to you or it can attract a higher or important person to to want you. Whatever. I can attract somebody to marry you. There are so many different ways that it works in different directions that if this is where congregation can attract congregation, it is where an important person can attract. It is where money is, it can attract can attract different things that all are a gracefulness and beauty that God puts on you. So OK, so when he comes here, when the Holy St. comes here and says, OK, I'm going to slap this person. It's a charismatta and charismatta and charismatta and manifestation of gracefulness and beauty on them. Then it's it's like you have just been given so you look at you Grace Avendaka stand up for Radio aceo aceo radio grace aceo aceo. But the Holy Spirit comes some charismatica on you. Or maybe it is a multiple manifesto. Maybe. So they give you more than one. You see, Charis is grace. Charisma is manifestation of grace. And when you add the task, it's multiple manifestations of grace. So you saw one person. I have different manifestations of the beautifulness and the gracefulness given to the person. And that's what brings the appeal. Yeah. It brings the appeal. I said it brings the appeal. It brings the magnetism. It brings the attraction. Wow. And if I was you I would be asking Lord give me something, Lord give me something, put something on me, Lord give me something, Fluent me. Smooth, smooth and unconstrained in movements. Smooth, you become smooth. Wow, the next one. It means flowing. Now, amazingly, it means natural. Any time you see somebody doing that, it looks natural. There is a charisma, one of the manifestations of grace. That is why it looks natural. When I'm preaching, does it look natural? It looks like I don't. I don't even. It looks like I don't even know what I'm coming to say that I'm talking to you, isn't it? Yeah. That that is. You see, that's that's how to notice gifts. The person who is gifted even doesn't know that it's a gift. Your, this word I'm giving you, natural is one of the meanings of the word graceful or gracefulness. It's natural. Yeah. That is why. That is why when you see somebody who's gifted, you are always not sure whether is it a gift or it's working or what, What is it that he's doing? Yeah. So that is, and I notice it like, for instance, if I play like I was playing yesterday saying this is something that I cannot do, then I notice somebody does it naturally. And you realize that that person has been given something. Yeah. Wow. I will show you how to multiply. The habits matter. My family name, he was Mills. I mean, it hasn't brought me. I don't want to say anything bad about my family name, but I can. I can see certain things even in our attacks at Colegono as a church. Amazingly, it would rather be my family name that would have that would help to induce those attacks. Yes, because when I voted, I voted once. The ones that I voted, I voted for. I voted for Rollins, but Rollins and his government arrested my father twice illegally. He arrested him illegally and used military force and bullying tactics to arrest him. He even came from courts when he was suing Electricity Corporation of Ghana for turning off the electricity in his hotel, that they should not turn it off because he was disputing and in court with them. And then the CCDRS went to the castle to tell them that there is a rich man somewhere who is bullying the system and that they should rather arrest. So he was coming out of his, his office was surrounded with soldiers with guns. Yeah. And they took him from his office. They took him from his office with the military, whatever and took him to prison. And they said whatever the court is saying, forget about it. Whatever the court says, forget about it. Monday pay this million or we are selling your hotel. We are selling your your hotel on Monday. Yes. That's what they did to my that's what they did to my father. And I had to go and see my father's friend and get some money to go and pay sale. Whatever the cost, forget about it by Monday. We are good to sell your hotel. Yeah, that is these people. And then my father had race horses and he bought the horse from a Nigerian man. And there was a dispute about the horse and the park and the Nigerian man went to the Nigerian ambassador of Ghana. The ambassador, the Nigerian Embassy on Rangoon Ave. told them the Nigerian ambassador was a good friend of the president. They called the president and my father was I pick up again from his office over the horse and they threw him into a prison Nima police station. That is why I renovated Neymar police station because I know what is inside Neymar police station. I went there to see my father lying on the floor and they brought the GTV cameras 7:00 news and they filmed him inside the prison and they put it on 7:00 news and they said Mr. Hennen he was news today was arrested whatever and they showed him coming. He said they put it in graphic. That's what they did to my father, this Rollins government, these NDC people and I voted for them amazing. And they attacked us because their mind is that I must be anti them. It's like, what is your father you must be against? So the name, the name, I'm, I'm explaining that that's your name or Binda Aku or what I do or whatever it is may not be bringing any charismatic influence on you, but rather even bringing diseases, problems, issues, poverty. Yeah, even what it has no meaning. So you see one, one of the things you have to realise is how you on your own, you are nothing. It's like you. It may even be negative. What you are naturally may even actually be a negative thing. It may even not be helpful to you. I'm telling you. And they came there. I said they arrested I when I arrived in Takradi. I went to Takradi. I arrived there at 11:30. Then I had a call. Your father has been arrested again by these people. I had to drive in my Renault 4 midnight to 3:00 AM straight to Neema police station to go and see what is happening there. Then he was released. After that he got second died and when he died, the headlines of Free Press newspaper was he was mails passes away, his blood is on rollings. Yeah, that was the headlines. That paper is no more in existence. That was the headlines. It was not passing away. His blood is on rollings. Yeah. So my name, you see, Evan, maybe Evan gives a problem as you are even in the country. Yeah, as you are thinking that your family is whatever or you are whatever, you are nothing, if anything may be negative.
