Welcome to track #12 of God requireth that which is path. Hallelujah. Question Time, question about that 19 Yes, your name and where you're calling from. My name is Nathan and I'm from the The Lagoon Church. Nathan. OK, Nathan. And I was thinking about this. You spoke earlier in the ISIUK, you're speaking about four stages of your ministry in relation to the anointing. And I begun to make some analysis. First of all, you, you preached in the machines some time ago and you preached about a South African pastor. You went to his church. In the church he had a very, very large church. You became inquisitive because the Church was very large in a short while. So then later you said that you made enquiries and you found out that he was linked to Archbishop EDA Hosa and he was working with him. As soon as the Archbishop died, I believe that he left and then began the Church. Just never. Bring that mic back again. Just keep it. Up Hello. OK. Nothing is better now. Yeah, and you made mention that this South African pasta, my main question is in concerning concerning the anointing and in relation to the stages of your anointing. With these examples, I'm trying to qualify because when Captain Koman died in 1976 and then him by 1974, he explained that the anointing became so much in him. Even with your ministry, Bishop, in 2003 Kenneth Hagin died and by 2004 you started the healing Jesus and the ISI all 10 years. I'm asking because after they had died and there was a particular movement in the ministry, there was an increase in the anointing is So should we should we desire or should we link ourselves? Should we link ourselves to? Can we use this wisdom that by attaching ourselves to a minister? Who is? Close to his grave we can catch an anointing that's one and also the second one and also the second one. Is that with the increase in anointing, does that mean that you have progressed to a new stage or to a different level in the ministry? Thank you very much. With your after you have received an anointing from a man of God, does that imply that you have moved into a different stage? Because you mentioned 4 stages, does that mean that you have moved into a different stage? Thank you. Hello, Godwin France Ghana Telecom. I think my question is also related to Nathan's own Godwin France Ghana Telecom. Like Benihin for instance, he said he spent good morning Holy Spirit spent longer time as a teenager fellowship with the Holy Spirit always in his room in all these things having constant fellowship when he went to Canada and following your experience at to whom as an isolating your. I don't know if you were really isolated or with your tape recorder how you receive the anointing. I want to know how is it you also have to be isolated like to be alone with the Lord waiting on him before he can get that experience of the anointing. And the second one is my friend always asks me why is it when people are falling under the anointing, the cameramen don't fall like these are still there and others fall down. Yes, please. Well, the cameraman, I can show you a video where the cameraman fall. And what was your other question? Waiting on the Lord? Yeah. Look, God is not a computer that you can press 3 buttons and there will be an exact response. That's also something you must get right. God is not a computer. So you must grow up to accept the reality that God is not a computer. No particular formula works, but what you feel impressed to do and the line which you feel impressed to follow is a line that I believe is the one that the Lord wants you to follow and that's going to work for you powerfully. Amen. Our brother is asking a question about, I didn't know all these dates you are given. Can I think he died, that this happened, this one died and all that, But we have different types of anointing transfers. If you read the book Mega Church where you have living transfer, dead, terminated transfer and what anointing sharing, diminishing anointing, transfer, new anointing introduced and so on. So what you are saying is that should you attach yourself to somebody who is near the grave, again, you cannot tell when somebody is near the grave because EDA Hosa did not die expectedly. He died unexpectedly. He was not expected to die at all by the fat death. It was the furthest thing from his mind that he was going to die. He was actually drinking juice when he died. He was entertaining visitors from America in his living room when he died, and he drank the juice. And so this is heavenly juice. He woke up in the morning, went for his usual long prayer meeting. Then he had these Americans who were visiting and he met with them. As he was sitting with them in his blanket, he said, oh, this heavenly juice. No, he was dead. Yeah, that's how he died. He had left Ghana two weeks before. He was in Ghana, so he did not expect to die. So you cannot tell when somebody will die because we are all just a step away from death and somebody you think will die rather than will be living for a long time. And then somebody you think will never die can die. So you can't tell. But what we do know is that servants of people become anointed. You see, the anointing is not something that is written in the Bible that says the Lord such and such and such shall receive the anointing. But we know that servants of people and people who are associated with people seem to have the same anointing as the people they served or as the people they are associated with, with time as to when and how. Sometimes after they are dead, you notice it as if they are anointed. It takes time to see that somebody is anointed. It takes a long time. But as you go along, you will see and especially the person who you, who is, who is, who is being anointed, Like the analysis that you are making. This person died and I think he died in 2003. We started in 2000. I never, it has never even crossed my mind that he died in 2003. He started healing Jesus in 2004. I mean, I didn't even know that. So what I'm saying is that it's interesting, but what I'm saying is that you you must realize, you must realize because the healing Jesus is actually the outside lighthouse, part of the ministry, the pastors and the Crusades and all that serving, being a servant in the ministry is one of the surest ways to get something. Yeah, being a servant is one of the surest ways. Joshua was the servant of Moses. He was he was called Joshua, the servant of Moses or Moses minister. He ministered to he ministered to Moses. OK, Jesus's disciples, right? They they ministered to Jesus. This has shown on the donkey when they were walking home. He used to send them to buy food. He used to send them on air and go to this town and see this person. They would go and come. They were ashes. They used to arrange them, arrange them in 50s. They were scavengers, pick up the bread, the fish, isn't it? They were an advanced team, isn't it? So they did so many things. That is why we bring people to the campus to come and work, because coming here and working it is just part of even working in the toilet. Working at ISI is part of becoming a servant 'cause a servant does menial jobs. And these people were known as servants of Elijah. I remember you can ask my wife when we, when we were going to get married, as soon as I just, I wanted to go to America to go and live with an American man of God. In fact, I tried to go to Joel Osteen's father. Yeah, because I tried, wrote letters. I want to come there to work there. Yeah. John Osteen. He was called John Osteen. I wrote left essay. It's like it didn't work out. I wanted to serve somewhere. Yeah. I wasn't at that time. I wasn't so close to Archbishop in this way. But I wanted to serve. And even now I serve him. I do. I do things for him. If he calls me, I go. If he sends me, I go. Do you understand? Yeah. So, I mean, thank God. If you are ever given a chance to be a servant, they say do this. You do. Clean here, sweep here. Dig here. Clean this toilet once. It is too big for you, too below you. There's something wrong with you. I'm telling you. That's something that is wrong with you. It will be seen if not today, to be seen tomorrow. And there's something wrong with you. Who are you? I mean, why can't you clean a toilet? Why can you not clean a toilet? Why can you not weed? Why can you not be a security guard to look after God's house? Why not? So all the people Elijah was washing the hands of and you see one human being creates a lot of work. You see you people that as you are here, you have created work. Somebody has to get food for you, isn't it? Somebody has to get chairs, lights, water. There's so many things that one person creates work. So one man of God creates a lot of jobs around him like me. There are so many people that work for me. You don't even see them. So many people work for me. I never knew that I needed so many people to work for me, that they work for me that you don't know, you don't even see them. Thank God if you ever get an opportunity to be a servant somewhere. So that is why your behavior at home is also important because it's also showing whether you have a good servant attitude. If you just stay in your room all day, you never cook. I mean, like take a ladies, it's like there's no cooking that can come for you. No one. No, I mean, it's it's your house is what we call self-service restaurant self-serve yourself. Yes, serve yourself self-service. You don't serve anybody, and maybe you can put up a show of serving for one special occasion, but at home you never continue with that attitude. And Even so, is it an African thing to be serving men and serving who never? It just shows humility. It just shows humility to be able to serve, to run here, to get this, to do this. It shows humility. Humility. It's very important. With humility. You see how beautiful the humility was Today we are so happy with humidity. Why can't you do that? What is wrong with that? So it's servant Elijah, The servant of Elijah. He poured water on the hands of Elijah when he was going to bath. He provided the water, provided the things for him to bath, washing his hands, washing his feet, sorting him out. Wow, one person creates a lot of jobs here. So all of you here must pray. Thank God for the opportunity. Those, all of you instrumentalists, do you know that being an instrumentalist is supposed to lead you to being a pastor for all these things that you are doing? You see, it's all servanthood. You are serving in the House of the Lord. You are serving in the House of the Lord. You are servants in the house. Like the guy who is mopping, he's a servant. Is that Daniel? Yeah, he's a servant. But some of you do not care to you to do that. So how you are at home. Oh, really? You know, as we go in the ministry, people who are not domesticated. I mean, you are really the most beastly group. Yeah, and even, what do you call it, ladies and even men? I make breakfast for my wife. Oh, yeah, I've, I've, I've made breakfast for my wife for years. And my and my children. Yeah, I am the chief breakfast maker in my house. Yeah, why not? I tidy up. I make the bed, do things in the house, make the house nice. Yeah, I've been doing for years. It's not a new thing. Why not? When my my child is going to go, I prepare, wake up. I fry eggs. I make sandwiches, pack her things for her. Yeah. To school all the time. Yeah, I defrost things, I fry them, I make, I cut, prepare, wrap it, pack them. This is for you then. And this is for breakfast. Eat now. This is for school. This is what we are taking. This is normal. And you are, you are, you are undomesticated. You are undomesticated. Yeah, recently I heard Kenneth Higgins say he makes breakfast for his wife. I was surprised maybe that anointing, that anointing for me makes breakfast for wife. That's true. I mean, I recently heard, very recently, very about less than two months, I heard for the first time, I heard him say, but you saw that you think you've heard everything that the person said, but you haven't. And so many things you haven't heard, they said. Yeah, you have to also contribute. So you see, non domesticated brothers, you can't even make a cup of tea for your wife. My, my mother called the other day. It was my wife's birthday. He said, oh, that that is why I said I should serve, I should serve her breakfast in bed because it was her birthday. And my wife told her that that's what he does all the time. He brings in the tray. So it's not, it's not a special thing for her birthday, a holistic, it probably goes with the anointing. Yeah, and youth sisters who cannot cook, do you understand? It's a problem. Like it pains you to go to the kitchen, it pains you to cook. It pains you to wake up. It pains you to to get to the job You cannot plan and organise also. I can do that. I can. I can do. You cannot. You know you cannot. Your Stew cannot be eaten. You know it. Onion Stew. Yeah. One day some of the sisters in the Chester that they were making food to bring. And you see by my travelling, that's what I've come to see, that people cannot cook. Oh yeah, your stomach will pain you. I tell you. Your stomach will pain you when you travel. You see, your stomach will pain you. And I said, they said they were coming to serve some chicken. So they brought the chicken. When they brought the chicken, I put it in my mouth and I stopped and I put it back and I said pack it, keep it, call the people who made it to come. So they are not ours. I I wait when they come. So when they came, I opened it for them. I said look at it checking that was killed some years ago. It has been in the freezer with a deep freezer water. And you stayed by fire. It's just the outside. The inside is deep freezer water. Oh, you've not tasted it before? Yeah, you cannot cook alreadying around as a woman like you are actually a boy in girls dressing. You know, sometimes when I talk it's as if I'm a streamer. But you see, it is real. It's what I've seen it before. So there's no service. No servant would. No servant would in Zambia. Once I was in Zambia, they came to serve us with some drinks, Pastor's wife, and they came now they knelt down. They knelt down to open the drinks, put it there, knelt down. Another old lady came. She also knelt down. So I asked the pastor why are they kneeling as well here, That is what we do, I said. I need to show my wife how to do this powerful kneeling way of serving humble looking, at least on the outside. That's it. You may never know after kneeling down. See that? Hey, man, tell somebody I'm ready to be a servant because I want to be anointed. Yeah. Those of you who want to sing, if you serve Ida, you will catch some of the anointing men. She's anointed. Yeah. You should be servants. It's true. Serve Minister to the person. What can I do for you? Can I carry something for you? Can I help you? Are you OK? Serve the person. Yeah. Lady. Pastor Lulu. She's been here looking after you. Serve her. And if you don't have anything to serve her with, say place. You want to come to your house to iron your things. You know, if you come to your house to iron our things, if you may visit some so or burn some, and we don't know, we can't have the whole church coming to iron our things for us. So you minister to the person money. That's one of the ways. Because I cannot, I cannot go to Kenneth Hagin to iron his. But he has somebody ironing his things already. I wouldn't want you to come and iron my things for me. Yeah. One brother, he went to a pastor's house. When he came back, he said I would never pay tithe again. Yeah, Yeah, That was his response by going to the pastor's house. Once he said that, I saw a satellite dish in the house. I would never pay tithe. He goes to a test whose name begins with ACI, Would never pay tithe. If I went to the pastor, I saw gadgets. No, not gadgets. A satellite dish. So you minister to the person, sow seeds in the person's life. Yeah, because you can't even easily see the person to do anything for the person. Cabo says He look at Jesus had a lot of women following who ministered to him of their substance of what they had so that they do minister food and different things. But you cannot easily minister food these days. You cannot tell what you are ministering. Yeah, so you cannot easily feed somebody even to serve the person a drink. It's not everybody who can say have a drink. You have you have to be careful who is giving you the drink before when you drink, you see who will wake up tomorrow morning. So, Sir, I want you all to become servants and humble you. You will be anointed. You'll be anointed very, very anointed because you are, you are, you are like servants who just minister and Flo like nothing is below you, nothing is below you. Nothing is under you. I can do, you can do, we can do. And I want to be like Elijah. I want to be like Joshua. I want to be like Peter, James and John. I want to be like the servants who receive anointing. That's how to catch the anointing. Be a servant. Be small. You'll be anointed. Yeah. And those only think, oh, I want to minister to the Bishop. No minister. I would say somebody is a pastor. Be secondary to the person. Be humble in relation to the person and minister to the person. Let the person stand and feel your presence and your service. Serve and minister with strength. Think of the person, What does he mean? What does she mean? What is the next thing that is going to happen? And do things that help the person, not things that obstruct the person. Jesus says I'm going to for my Last Supper, organize table, organize food, organize a room, organize a donkey. Tomorrow we are moving. Make it happen. These people that Jesus said that they were organisers making things fast and quick. Can you imagine if I'm going to make chicken Stew and I don't have helpers, I'm now going to find a chicken in manpower free reign. When I come to and I say who is the owner? OK, the owner should find follow me when I come and negotiate how much? How much is 1 chicken 50 series? How much is a live chicken? 20 CDs 40 CDs 30 CDs live. I'm now going to find a knife to cut off the neck. I'm now going to remove the feathers. I'm now going to boil it in the water. I'm now going to dissect it and remove the gallbladder and the clothes. Then I'm now going to the farm to find tomatoes and I'm going to Makwala to buy Maggie Cube with the star. Why the star? What are they making these days? They have a new one. Maggie Monko. No, but there are some other, there are some other anger. I'm not going to buy hunger. I'm not going to look for oil. I'm not going to look for rice. I mean, I will finish making this chicken Stew. Today is Friday. By Monday, before the chicken Stew will be ready, so many people help. For one thing that a person does, you'll be surprised. One chicken Stew that you make, you will be surprised. About 30 people have worked. I'm now going to Thailand to harvest rice, to bring it to Ghana, import it and clear it before I bring it to the house. I mean even Monday is early for the rice, rice and chicken Stew. By Christmas time it will be ready. So almost every person, if he has no help, his ministry become longer. Very delayed. Very, very delayed. Servants basically remove delays and increase the speed of the person. Yeah, that is the work of a servant. You remove delays and increase the speed. So make yourself efficient, like musicians. You pick yourself. Not just with a bash. With a bash, you know, you must know what to say. You singers times have called and that, Kathy, the last time I called you to say you you did not know the words. Haider was giving you the words. If I call you today, will you know the words? Yeah, you see, But you have to know the words. Then you are not ready. This is just like you are not ready to serve and to, to, to for the opportunities, just one opportunity. Then the person asks you to make chicken Stew one. And then when it comes rather that the chicken Stew is not ready. And because of that, he's afraid to ask you again for the chicken Stew. So next time he doesn't call you to to serve the chicken Stew and you lose your chance to serve. So please decide to be the best servant as Ida is here. She's going, if she's going to say she has to know anything, anything. If I say faith, if I say the word faith, is that a song about faith? What song is that? Sing it. Without faith, it's impossible to please the Lord, please the Lord. Without faith, it's impossible to please the Lord to please the Lord. Faith that can move mountains. Faith that can come or agency. Old faith that believes in Jesus. Faith that sets the captive sweet faith. Without it, it's impossible to please the Lord. That's it. I need a song of faith, and I want faith. You get it. It's not a performance. It's you're helping the person. But I'm trying to say Talib, without faith, you can't. Without faith, you know, without faith. Sing it again. Without faith, you can't be a good pastor. Without faith, it's impossible to please the Lord, to please the Lord. Without faith, it's impossible to please the Lord. Please the Lord. Faith that can move mountains. Faith that can calm a ragency O Faith that believes in Jesus. Faith that sets the captives free. Faith. Without it, it's impossible to please the Lord. You've got a chance to stay to help me to stay. Without faith, it's impossible to please God. That's all. Wow, is it fantastic. So everybody be ready, make things fast. If I say be wise as a serpent, and I say can you tell me to be wise as a serpent and expect you to be here and not to mix up the words? Anisera, isn't it? Yeah. If I say sing it, you can sing it and you should know your key. If you know I'm singing in Z sharp. Yeah. And just start in Z. Never let them give you cue when you are supposed to sing in Z, It's a chance to say fast. Everything is going fast, fast, fast, fast, fast. A servant is just making things fast. Otherwise chicken Stew would take you 3 months. I mean, you've got to go to Thailand. We've got to find a chicken. We've got to buy a deep freezer. We've got to get this thing. Yeah, you need to get a freezer. You need to buy, get money for tickets. You need to get a travel agent. Go to Thailand, get the rice, import it, get to the farm, organize it. It's not a small chicken Stew and rice. Is it not true? Yeah. How many want to be good servants? Yeah. And I tell you, it makes you a better wife. Every husband will be impatient when he comes home and he wants to eat. He wants to eat now. When you learn how to serve, you see that. You see that it has helped you in marriage. When your husband come and he roars, Blah. I know you are coming to Rore. I'm ready. I lent it in church. How to be ready, how to be fast, how to anticipate what is coming. What is the next move? Wow. How many are going to be good servants? Yeah, it's powerful. OK. I think I'm answering all your questions. Isn't it When you ask a question, I'm able to answer isn't it Q&A, next question. Hey, you still have more questions? OK, she was best, yes. Did I answer all your questions?
