13.The Anointing and Copying (Q and A)

Welcome to Track. In 13 God. Require us that which is. Passed. Hello. Thank you, Bishop, and please. What is this sound thing? Come on. My name is Ajwa Bai, I'm Legon, and as Christians and so far as you are connected to Jesus Christ, you experience the sufferings of Jesus Christ, the losses and everything. I would like to find out because one thought that occurs to me every time I pray for the anointing is that as I'm praying for the anointing of maybe let's say Katherine Coleman or even an anointing, maybe Bishop Dark, I should also expect to experience his sufferings. Even though like we all see the positive sides of the anointing, I would like to know whether we should also expect the sufferings or the losses that maybe that individual also experienced. Thank you. Yes, yes, just stand up and ask a question. Thank you Bishop. My name is Mina from Collywood Church and concerning the principle of vessel change, if you are someone who speaks slowly but you are anointed, how can you preach in such a way that you will not be a slow speaker in practical ways to not be a slow and boring speaker? Thank you. Nakoja explains. I give her the answer Practice, practice, practice. You see, when an anointed person is saying something, practice saying it in the same way. Practice it. Don't be afraid to copy. Yeah, copy, copy. Preaching is one of the things to copy. I copy a lot of things. Oh, even when I say I, I learned it from a Bonky. So many of the stories I tell. I learned The story that I tell about the butterfly. I don't know if you've heard me sending the lava. Lava. I heard it from Bonky. My hair. The story that I, I, I, I, I tell about Margaret. Those of you who have heard my story about my I heard it from Bonky. I, I, I copy everything you said. They don't copy. It's up to you. Do you understand? I mean, this other person have told you over and over again copying the things and just exactly saying that the person says it quickly like this or uses this example or whatever it is all you don't know what aspect is really the anointing making him do. What exactly is he doing that is anointed? But just do those things. Stop struggling. Start. Look. Start copying little things until one day nobody will know who is the original. When they see me or you, they'll say, ah, which one is the original? Ah, Bishop copied it from this girl. I see. OK. Wow, this is not amazing. Yeah. So copy. So you are talking about slow speaking. Look, I think this is a very important thing. If you want to catch the anointing, start copying little sections. You can copy. You see, when I copied, I've copied something and I met somebody who told me, I know this thing is Bunky. The one who says, yeah, I know some. The person knows Bunky. Then I copy his stories. Great. And I copy this. I copy that. Different things. Copying all copy. They take them. Don't shame me. You are too young to be ashamed. Yeah. When you are older that you will be ashamed that when you are young and humble. Oh, and a girl can copy a man. Yeah. You see, I'm Ben Hin. I mean, you don't know, but he copied a lot of things from Katherine Kuhlman. The way she speaks and the way she why Captain Kumar is on stage, she walks backwards like this. Yeah, there isn't been him doing that before. Oh, no. As a move. But it's a it's a copy. Look, take the preaching air and copy them in sex. When you are preaching, people will say, I really feel blessed. That was the first reaction to my preaching. When I said my today I'm preaching, you can have what you say the same. I didn't change the topic. The topic is you can have what you say with the same example. I couldn't I couldn't get any examples of my life, but I hadn't experienced to just flow gradually, gradually. I was too too small to be afraid to copy in in in in in form 5 and lower 6, which is wasi wasi s s SSS 2 I think. SS2SS3. What do you call it? JHS SJSSHS. How do singers become good? They copy exactly. So when she started to sing come, she started to sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing. I do start from the beginning. Many years have come and gone. See. So I said no, no, no, no. You are not copying it well, so and because she didn't copy it well, you can ask either. So now if you sing a song, I said no, you Can't Sing it like that. You spoil the song. I know the song exactly, inch by inch. Some songs don't spoil it. And as she was copying, you let you leave out the timing, leave out the sway, leave out the particular way when you're copying it. Look photocopy. Do you understand what they mean by copying Photocopy? Afterwards your own styles will come, so you sing it many years. Many years have come and. Gone. Come and you sing. Come, you sing. There's a difference. Many years have come and gone. She has improved it now, isn't it? Give me some water. You see, people think they are clever, People think they are clever. How you are bringing her? All right, when you are founded, it means you are loved, so happy now you see now, now the Holy Spirit is trying to show you like, take a step into the anointing. Take a step. Copy attitudes. Copy preaching in short phrases and short caps. Copy examples. Copy words, copy ways, ways of doing things. Copy small things, copy meetings, copy activities, Copy love. Copy, copy, copy, copy. See somebody helping somebody, copy it. Start copying you each, each copy is. That's when Nakoda said that people started to come outside the room to listen to the dumb broadcast. He used to do dumbass. No one ever minded him. Then he started to take the message and listen to it and copies the message and preaches. Then people started to come out of their rooms to listen to him. Wow. You see each aspect you are able to copy has taken you one step into the anointing that you desire until people start to even wonder, ah hey you because what does the anointing do? What did what did Eli, what did the anointing on Elijah do? It made him copy the same things that his father Elijah did and do twice as much. He closed also closed. He closed the heavens of No rain, 3 1/2 years. Elijah closed it for seven years. He fed windows. This one also fed windows. He did this one also did it the same things, twice as much. So start copying little sections of copyable things that are before you. Yeah, Of course, some things are not copyable at this stage. Yeah. So Bishop has a singer and you don't. You cannot have a singer. Bishop has stars. I'm going to have stars. What are the copyable aspects? There are a lot of copyable things that can be copied. When you do them, you see that you are you are stepping into a gift. Oh, yeah. Copy. Take it one by one. Because, Charlie, you don't know what to do. Take it step by step. Look at me today. I now conduct the largest or some of the largest crusades in Africa, Just as bulky, used to do amazing. Almost everywhere we have been, they have said this is the largest even in Nigeria. The chairman of the crusade, one of the he, he was not our chairman but he was a chairman for Bonquis. Look, let me tell you, your crusade is your crusade is as big as Bonquis crusade or bigger. He said I was the chairman for Bonquis Crusade here. Don't think that it's a small crusade, he told. He said, look, don't think it's a small crusade. It's a very big thing that I was the chairman twice for Vogue Crusade in this town. And when I see a story, Margaret, when I saw him telling that story, I said what a story, what a story. And the way, the way he tells it, Bonki has a way of telling the story. If you watch the story, if you watch the video, you will see that a lot of things that he said exactly, I do them when Margaret, when Margaret was, when Margaret knocked on the door and the husband came and Bonki goes on the stage like this, he heard the footsteps. Yeah, that's what I do. Also in certain. Margaret, I am here. I am your husband, and Bonky asks questions. Do you want to know why she did not open the door? That is Bonky's question. Do you want to know why? I have a lot of things I copied. I'm telling you how to enter anointing. Yeah. Each copyable tract is a step footstep into the mysterious realm of the anointing. Each step that is copiable is a step into the anointing. Yeah, I'm telling you. That's why those people who are too big to copy things, they cannot, they cannot move. Look at me. Nobody when I was going to do the Crusader was myself. Nobody moves me as an evangelist. There's something I want to tell you, but I won't tell you. Instead, I'll keep it as a dark saying. Or I mean, I'll tell somebody in private, but I can't tell you that one. It's about the crusade. It's funny. It's a bit funny, you know. Yeah. But I tell you, you see, you can move deeper as a young person. God requires that which is possible. A young person will become anointed. Yeah. Because you see God. God anointed me. I was a student. I was in. I was in final year 1988. I wasn't, I wasn't like I wasn't. I wasn't a known pastor or anything. I told you the pastor of the church was there before. He used to see me and ask how is what? How is the fellowship? Ask whatever. How is the fellowship? How is the Fellowship? Do you want the anointing? How many are finding some steps? Is it practical? Do you think you can move from dryness into oil into butter into ointment? I see you becoming oiled by the power of the Lord. Yes, you will be oily. I say you will be oily. You are a firebrand that is signing and ready to bring light, a lot of light into dark areas in your around you, in your life, in Jesus name, Amen. Sit down. Next question. Yes, David. Thank you, Bishop. My name is Darlene. From Darlene. Yes, please. Like Darlene, Czech. Yes, please. I want to ask when you read Isaiah Chapter 11 verse 2, it talks about the Spirit of God, which is the Spirit of wisdom understanding the fear of the Lord. I want to know you've you've spoken about how wisdom affects the anointing, like when we gain wisdom, we are able to do a lot of things. I want to know the relation between the fear of the Lord and gaining the anointing the connection. The fear of the Lord and gaining the anointing. OK, yes. Who hasn't asked? Is this Adra Dorcas? This Dorcas? Have you asked a question already, Dorcas? No, I've not asked any question. Please. If I want to ask 2 questions, the first one is in Exodus chapter. Verse 33. Verse. 18 Moses asked that he wanted to know the presence of God, and yesterday we learnt that the glory of God is symbolic of the presence of God. So when Moses asked that he wanted to know the presence of God, God answered him in the same chapter 33, verse 5, chapter 34, the verse 5, and then 6:00 and 7:00, and all that is there has to do with the attributes of God. I want to know if the attributes of God, all of them, do they denote the presence of God. If we say God is merciful, God is holy, forgiven, iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and all the attributes, because that was the answer that God gave to Moses. That is my question for the first one. And secondly, is everybody anointed? Because in Second Corinthians it talks about the fact that I don't know the Scripture verbatim, but then it talks about the fact that we are all anointed as children of God. So is everybody anointed? As a system, we are all anointed. Thank you, Bishop. And this is David from Legon. Yeah. I wanted to ask a question based on can we get the humming to get out of this thing? What is the cause? There's a problem with the mic. Can we change the mic? All the mics have that problem. They are sports. So we should buy a new one if we buy a new one with this book, buy a new mic. OK. And you said earlier that when someone is anointed, it prevents demonic activities from occurring in the person's life. But concerning the Catherine Coleman and Aln, they fall in they have any sickness and all that I was I was wondering why the anointing on their lives couldn't prevent that from. Happening to them. OK. The answer is the vessel answer. Well, I talked a lot about the vessel because they they were vessels. So does that mean that they had the anointing, but they didn't have the presence? Or I don't actually get it. They had the presence of God. They had the anointing of God, but they were attacked by demons. The fact that you are anointed. Jesus was crucified on the cross by the Princess of this world. They connect him and they crucified him on the cross. And you can't say that Jesus was not anointed or God was not with him. They understand. Yeah, so it is if God allows also those things to happen, yes. Thank you, Bishop, please, this is Daniel from UDS. Please, I want to find out the difference between the anointing and the call of God and also to find out how will you know that this is the ministry that I'm called into because according to Ephesians 4. Verse 11, especially about the fivefold ministries. Sometimes you find yourself teaching, preaching, evangelizing, and you may not know at least the ministry I'm actually called into. So how will you know it? Thank you. Thank you, Vishal. I'm Josie Black from Knudsford. I have two questions to ask. Yesterday, I was listening to a message by you. Just ask a question, OK. In your message you said the best gift is prophecy and yesterday, yeah, the computer said so I want to know why and two, does experiencing little signs of a gift and men you are anointed to operate in that gift. Thank you. The questions are not related, so we cannot remember them. I want related questions so that I answer one at a time. Does anybody have a related question with anybody's question so that we can? Yes, cameraman, my name is Matthias from UACC. My question is that Jesus said that the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gulf to the poor. He refers to the Spirit because his focus was on the poor, the broken hearted, the main, those who are helpless. Can we see you are you are anointed because of what you focus on? Like people want to travel abroad or something. But Jesus said because my focus is on the poor, the broken hearted and all that. That is why the Spirit of Lord is. Upon me. So my question is on the focus, an anointed presence focus. There is an effect of the anointing on your focus. Is that also the sweet influences of the Holy Spirit? Anointing affects your focus. Yes, I'm waiting for a particular question. My name is Michael from UPS. My question is in line with what this brother said in your book The Rules of Full Time Ministry. How will I know that I'm calling to full time or lay ministry? According to your book that talks of if a person is called into full time ministry and then the person goes to lay is not able to function properly. And then if somebody is to go into lay ministry and then the person goes to full time, he's not able to. I think that nothing doesn't really work. So I want to know the difference. How would I know that maybe I'm to go full time or lay ministry? You have to read rules of full time ministry, Yeah. Please, I'd like to know how the anointing can be destructive to a person. Yesterday we studied that the presence of God can depart from a person, but then because the gifts and the callings of God and without repentance you can still be operative. So how can that that you have been destructive when the presence of God is departed? How can what? The anointing on your life, how can it be destructive? Distracted because when? What do you mean by? Distracted, destructive, when so the anointing left, departed from so the presence. Destroy who? Who destroy? The individual how can? The anointing. Destroy yourself? Yes, please. I'm asking because we distinguish between the presence of God, which is an abiding presence, and then that of the anointing, which is the effect or the effect of the presence of God. The to do so if like Paul St. And then the presence of God departed from him, and he says an evil spirit from the Lord came to replace that. They meant that he no longer had the presence, but he had great gift because of the anointing. So I want to know, in that case, when the presence has departed from an anointed person, what becomes of the anointing the person has? How, in other words, can it be distracted to the person? Yes, hello. Thank you very much, Bishop. I'm Gideon from GNUST and my question is if someone has a particular bedding for something. For example, Jesus had a bedding for the poor 'cause that's that's what he said in Luke 4. 18. Does the bedding come prior to the anointing, or rather M does the bedding show that God wants to anoint you for a particular thing? Like when you have a bedding for something, does it indicate, is it a sign that God wants to anoint you to do a particular work? That's the first question. And the second question is, does does the bedding come with the anointing? Or. When you are anointed and you receive a bedding. OK, I get your question. Well, what I would say is that the burden is sometimes there because of the anointing. Sometimes it can come together. Wonderful, right? Have I answered all your questions or I have not? Whose question has not been answered? Whose question has not been answered? What was your question? That what? What's the connection between the fear of the Lord and the anointing? The spirit of the fear of the Lord is one of the spirits of the Lord, he said, And you come upon the spirit of wisdom, spirit of understanding, of counsel, spirit of might, and spirit of the fear of the Lord. So it's one of the spirits of the seven spirits or six spirits. So that's the connection. Just like the spirit of wisdom, spirit of understanding, spirit of counsel, there's the spirit of the fear of the Lord. And in the beginning of wisdom, it's like it comes just as wisdom is coming. So it's connected to the anointing in the sense that you must fear God even before you start relating with God. So wisdom without the fear of the Lord is demonic. That's what the that's what a lot of them unbelievers have, Europeans and Americans, they have wisdom to go to space to make Wi-Fi, cellular phones, this and that, but they don't fear God. That is not is different. So the wisdom plus fearing God, that's why I encourage those of you who are doing high courses and other things to fear the Lord as well as doing that intelligent work that you are doing. Do you understand? Yeah. Who else's question did I not answer? Yes. What did I not answer? I asked of the difference between the anointing and the call of God. Well, the call of God is the call of God. The anointing is the power to enact the call. There are different things. I also asked of how will he know the call the ministrator call into? By studying the book many are called and reading about spiritual gifts that are in the Bible you will know the different possible gifts that are and by being led by the Spirit of God and reading the book How to Be the Perfect Will of God, The Art of Hearing, you will know the answer of which gift you are calling to all. Yes. Whose question did I not answer, Josie? I was asking why you said the prophetic gift was the best. And because it is wonderful, the wonderful gift. Can you imagine if I could suddenly see the spirits that are sitting on your shoulders? OK, Yeah. And I wanted to know if experiencing little signs of a gift means you are alien to operate in that gift. A little sign is a little sign. It's different from the gifts that is a sign a good sign. Little signs are always signs. Who else's question did I not answer? About what? I, I asked that like if like a service is being held and you pray for us, how will I know that that maybe you are praying for this gift for us and I fell under the anointing. How will I know that it's the anointing of God or maybe a spirit is manifesting itself. Thank you. The Bible tells us that Philip went down to Samaria and preached Christ unto them, and many gave heed to the things which Philip said, both seeing and hearing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits crying with a loud voice came out of many that were possessed with them, and many were healed. So people gave heed and the people were crying with a loud voice because unclean spirits were coming out of them. So sometimes when unclean spirits are coming out of people, people scream. That's what Bible says. Philip went down to Samuel and Bible says and when the Spirit saw him, he tear him and he fell to the ground wallowing. The word wallowing means rolling over. So sometimes when the spirit evil spirit in a person comes in contact with the anointing, the person screams, falls to the ground and starts rolling. Do you understand? Yes. So those are common manifestations when evil spirits are present. So it's one of the first things you think about is an evil spirit. Sometimes also people fall down because of their anointing. When Jesus met the people who were coming to arrest him in the Garden of Gethsemane, as soon as he put forth his hand, they all fell down. All right. In Revelations, when the Angel appeared, John fell to the ground and then they woke him up. And all through the Bible, when the glory of the Lord came in, in Second Chronicles chapter 5, the people fell down. All the people fell down. So one of the also responses to the presence of the glory of God or the presence of God is to fall down. Even when kings and natural leaders and great people come in, people stand up, sit down, some kneel down, some in Nigeria, they lie on the floor and so on. So there is a response to the presence or the arrival of an important person or being. And so sometimes people fall down when they come in contact with God's presence or power. So both of them can cause people to fall down. So how do you know which one it is? Maybe by experience and by whatever the personal situation in that person's life is that this one is a demonic thing. A lot of people who have had demons entering them through their vagina have a lot of this kind of things. You know, there are doors. I told them about the five doors into the six doors. Yeah. And so a lot of people like that have, you know, spirits in them from sex, you know, so those spirits can come out manifesting in the people. So they are all different things that happen, you understand? No, listen, the work of God and the things of God are mysterious. It's not. There's no formula that is clear. Now somebody said how would you know this, that you are anointed? How do you know that the anointing has come? A lot of things are by faith, like how do I know that I'm a pastor? Up to today, Jesus hasn't appeared to me and told me that I'm a pastor. Am IA pastor. Do you think I'm a pastor? How do you know that I'm a pastor? Yeah, but is it not just maybe a familiar? Because my father was a math teacher and so I'm also into teaching. Aha. You see, So there are so many things that can go on in my mind, but the reality is that the anointing and anything spiritual must be accepted and believed by faith. Look, there are so many things I do I'm not sure of, but I do them by faith. That's all. I just do them, my faith. And because I'm not sure, I'm always hoping which way is God going to listen? Faith is not what you want. Faith is absolute. Faith is if, if, if, if you ask me for something, ask me for 100 CDs and I give it to you and you say no, whatever you give to me, I accept. That's even greater faith because you, you, you, I will go where you want me to go. That's great faith. Whatever you say is greater than give me this and, and, and God gives it to you. So for me, I ask God, give me this, but after I also say Lord, whatever you want. I like that one even more than what I want. That's greater faith. I have more faith in the person. So have faith, but have greater faith in the Lord. Amen. Are you blessed with the anointing? All right, we are going to take a short break for lunch. Amen. I hear your lunch. Are you ready to eat? You sure? You hungry? OK. I hope the food tastes that. If it doesn't taste that, go on, Aluta. OK.
