 FOREWORD
I am blessed and excited to write the foreword to this timely book by my
friend and brother Bishop Charles Agyinasare. This book is medicine to an
ailing and failing generation of believers. It is a tonic to the remnant in this
generation who want the pure power of God. I thank God for the release of this
book. As you read it, may you be a “combustible and conductible” person to the
power of the Holy Ghost and an “insulator” to the negative influences of satan.
The power of the transference of spirits is so real that no one can deny its
influence on people. We are all the result of one kind of spiritual transfer or the
other. Everybody is under the influence of something or another person. In this
book, “The Transference of Spirits” , Bishop Charles Agyinasare reveals some
spiritual truths that will exclude you from the negative influence of evil spirits
and gravitate you towards the positive influence of believers who are
empowered by the Holy Ghost.
The Apostle Paul underscored the importance of the transference of the power
of the Holy Ghost to believers, when he told the Romans that he longed to see
them in order to impart “some spiritual gift” to them. The purpose of the
spiritual gift was to establish them in the faith and comfort them.
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous
journey by the will of God to come unto you.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the
end ye may be established;
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both
of you and me. Romans 1:10-12
The apostle Paul stressed the fact that he had to be with the Romans physically
in order to impart the spiritual gift to them. The gift could not be sent via
television, email or telephone – he had to be there. Some gifts are transferable by
television but not others. The apostle transferred spiritual gifts to the people by
associating with them, preaching the Word of God to them and laying hands on
them. These are common means of the impartation of spiritual virtue. It is easy
to receive the power of the Holy Ghost – stay close to the anointing. Many
believers miss out on the powerful influence of the Holy Ghost by staying away
from “power operators” and “carriers of the power of the Holy Ghost”. They are
terrified about the possibility of receiving negative spirits.
 A typical example of the transference of the power of the Holy Ghost is vividly
displayed in the life of the author of this book. God has used Bishop Agyinasare
over the years to make walking in the miracle working power of God easy in
many people’s lives. He operates strongly in the gifts of the Holy Ghost with the
tangible and visible manifestation of the gifts of healing and miracles. I have
watched him over the years as he continues to make the occurrence of the
miraculous look simple. Through his ministry, the Body of Christ has been
emboldened to work signs and wonders as God grants grace.
In this priceless work, my friend shows the powerful influence of the anointing
on our lives as we expose ourselves to the right conduits of the power of the
Holy Ghost. He also warns us against the negative influences of evil spirits. The
apostle Paul taught his protégé Timothy not to be a partaker of other people’s
sins by laying hands on them suddenly.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels,
that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing
nothing by partiality.
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins:
keep thyself pure. 1 Timothy 5:20-22
Many believers have been destroyed through the negative influence of others.
We don’t receive negative spiritual influences only when others lay hands on us
but also when we lay hands on people without discernment. Staying in contact
with believers who are critical and envious of others can infect us with
dangerous spirits. Lot vexed his soul by living amongst perverse people. Living
in an unclean environment makes us unclean. It is strange to find believers who
keep close association with believers who are saturated with evil spirits but insist
that they would not be influenced negatively. Such believers deceive themselves
into thinking they have immunity to demonic spirits. Lot was not excluded from
the wicked deeds of Sodom and Gomorrha though he was Abraham’s nephew.
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them
with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live
ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed
his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2 Peter 2:7-8
 Bishop Agyinasare as an apostle of Jesus Christ has vast experience of how
demonic spirits can influence both pastors and believers in negative ways. He
therefore, places in your hands, mind and spirit a great tool to help you maximise
your potential in God. He has taught the Body of Christ on various subjects that
have brought soundness into many lives. Your life will be transformed as you
read this book with an open heart. The author writes the truth in plain language
that will leave an indelible imprint on your life. Your life will never be the same.

 INTRODUCTION
Apostle Paul makes us understand in 2 Corinthians 10:4 that “Though we walk
in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh” .
How true that is, especially in our age where many people are so moved by the
flesh and what they see! But the Scripture is replete with passages and verses
that help us understand that the world we see is not the only world that exists. In
fact, the unseen world is even more real than that which is seen, since it was
from the invisible things that God made the visible.
Moreover, the spirit world is not ruled by flesh, but rather the world of flesh is
influenced by the activities of spirits. These spirits are either good or bad spirits
that operate through human beings, animals, and other living or non-living
things, and these are transferable.
Some evil spirits have been transferred and have led to rebellion and sedition,
fear and discouragement, sorrow and bitterness, sexual perversion, and many
acts of wickedness. Such evil transfers have caused people to be radically
transformed into what God did not want them to be.
On the other hand, good spirits have been transferred and have led to unity and
camaraderie, love and boldness, joy and gladness, and many acts of supernatural
strength and exploits that have helped to support the work of God to a greater
degree.
Unfortunately, so many have received the wrong spirit through ignorance
when they could have positioned themselves to receive good spirits. Knowledge
is therefore key. In this book you will get not only knowledge about but also a
deeper understanding of the spirit world and how it affects human activities. You
will know how spirits are transferred and be equipped to reject the spirits that are
not of God.
The book is divided into three main parts and nine chapters that deal with the
spirit world; negative transferences and the means of transference; and positive
transference, with the means and barriers to receiving the anointing.
May you receive the transference of spirit that is necessary to propel you into
your God-given destiny!
 CHAPTER ONE

THE UNSEEN WORLD OF TRANSFERS

Man is a tripartite being, made up of a spirit, a soul, and a body. The body is
the physical and tangible part of man that allows him to make contact with the
physical world; the soul is the invisible part of man that seats the mind,
emotions, and will; and the spirit is the immaterial part of man that gives him
life, and it is through the spirit that man fellowships with God.
For the purpose of this book, let us look more closely at the spirit: in the
beginning God breathed into Adam the breath of life, and he became a living
soul. The word breath here is translated from the Hebrew ruach, which means
‘breath’, ‘wind’ or ‘spirit’. It was the spirit of God that made man alive.
Job says in Job 33:4, “The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the
Almighty hath given me life” and in Job 34:14-15, “If he set his heart upon man,
if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; all flesh shall perish together,
and man shall turn again unto dust.”
In fact, it is the spirit inside man that differentiates him from a corpse. In other
words, breath is responsible for keeping us physically alive. Therefore, the body
without the spirit or breath is dead!
But remember that God had said Adam would die on the day he would disobey
Him. And if God cannot lie, then it means Adam did die. So how come he was
still living? Because he died spiritually.
When Adam sinned against God he died spiritually – he died to God – because
God said he would die the very day he would disobey Him:
“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for
in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Gen. 2:17
Even though man has a spirit, it is dead to God when it has not been made
alive by the Holy Spirit by receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Saviour.
That is why Jesus says in John 6:63, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life.” This means that when the life of God is not in a person, he is spiritually
dead to God. Unfortunately it is sin that brings spiritual death.
Having said that, let us also note that there are other forms of life other than
human life in the unseen world. The physical world that we live in houses
human beings, while the spiritual world houses spirits, e.g. angels, demons,
Satan and God. Angels and God are good spirits, and Satan and his demons are
evil spirits. The spirit world, it is said, “Rules over the natural, subjecting it to
the rule of the spiritual realm.”
So we have in the unseen world both good and evil spirits that have influence
on the lives of human beings in the seen world.
As a minister of God, people have come to me saying that they dreamt
something had happened to them and they woke up to see themselves in the
situation they dreamt about. For instance, one gentleman told me that he had a
dream that someone had hit his arm with a big stick. This was a spiritual warfare
dream. Lo and behold, he could hardly raise that arm when he woke up from his
sleep! Thankfully, he was restored after prayer.
The spiritual world, is home to God Almighty, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit
and the other heavenly hosts on one side, as well as the Devil and his demons on
the other side. Because these spirits do not have bodies, they often operate in
living things such as human beings, animals, trees, and in non-living things like
rivers, etc. Once they take over these living things, they make them their abode
and operate fully from there.
One amazing thing is that, one’s human spirit can also transfer or transmit
whatever is in there to another person or object.
 CHAPTER 2

NEGATIVE TRANSFERENCE
Among the problems that worry the church is the negative transference of
spirits. As a believer, it will help your course if you arm yourself with this
knowledge that there is something called the negative transference of spirits. If
there is no transference of spirits then how could a man like David, who loved
the Lord and had such a sweet spirit, kill someone and take his wife? This
‘transformation’ was possible maybe due to a negative transfer that he received
when he committed adultery with Bathsheba.
Likewise, he had given birth to and raised an innocent son like Absalom, and
yet this son slyly lured some people to his side and later on took over his father’s
rulership by causing an uproar which kept David, the king, fleeing for his life.
He was able to do this by deceiving the people and gradually stealing their
hearts. He transferred a rebellious spirit that followed him.
I wish to reiterate the point that spiritual things cannot be understood with the
natural mind. If you want to know the effects in the spirit, you should understand
it with your human spirit.
‘The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of
God’ Romans 8:16
The first Spirit mentioned here is the Holy Spirit, who is a personality and not
a force. He feels, speaks and has emotions etc. The second spirit mentioned is
the spirit of man. One cannot understand that he is a child of God through
physical means. It is the Spirit that bears witness because there has been a
transformation. Walking in the spirit is not always based on what you feel, but
the communication of God through our human spirit. The Bible has said that the
“spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the
belly”. The servants of Satan are guided by Satan in their spirits, and the servants
of God are guided by the Holy Spirit.
TEN OUT OF TWELVE SPIES
In the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13:26, Sethur, whose name means,
‘to hide’ or ‘to cancel’, had a negative spirit and he initiated the doubting process
that spread like wild fire to the others. Such people are very subtle and they
always refuse to see the way God sees things and always have the attitude of
“let’s face facts”. God knew that it was not an easy task, but He asked them to go
ahead and possess the land. He knew that the city was walled but he had made a
way already and without a different spirit, they would not have seen the negative
side.
The plan of God for your life is very big. He does not make small plans. If He
has said it, it will come to pass. When I came into ministry I was wondering if I
could make it because there were big churches. I could not see that there would
be space for me, but God had made space for me. You will do greater exploits
through an anointing that will surprise you - a breakthrough anointing. You need
to plan with what is in God’s pocket and not your own pocket, because there will
be a performance by the Most High God.
Believe the report that the Lord has about you. This is because the report of the
Devil says that, what God has said is not correct. He always creates doubt but
ignore the doubt he creates in you and believe what the Lord has said.
Caleb had another spirit of which God approved, but the others had a wrong
spirit. It was the spirit of unbelief that was clothed in practical attire. They were
being ‘objective’. A negative spirit is always clothed in seeds of doubt. There are
lessons to learn from this episode:
1. The people followed the majority decision but that did not mean it was the
will of God. The fact that they were in the majority did not make their decision
right. The majority is not always right.
The story is told about King Saul who was supposed to go to battle but had to
wait for the Prophet Samuel before proceeding to the battle ground. The story
continues that majority of the people put pressure on Saul to do what the
prophet was supposed to do. He did that but it did not augur well for him. This
is because the majority is not always right, because the votes can go in a
certain direction and we might lose the purpose of God. If Jesus had allowed
His disciples to cast votes to decide whether or not He should go to the cross,
He would have thwarted the purpose of God. If it is a spiritual thing and you
allow the majority decision to stay it might destroy the will and plan of God.
2. The evil report is mostly believed more than the good report. People believe
more in bad things or evil reports than in good. Do not be afraid when an evil
report goes around destroying you. If you are innocent, remember that God is
your defence, and at the appropriate time He will speak on your behalf. You
have to note that all things will work together for your good and you will
 excel. He has engraved you in the palm of His hands and you are very
important to Him.
3. Do not always look at the natural, because most of the time the spiritual does
not make sense to the human mind. The Bible says that Abraham was looking
for a city whose builder was God. Abraham was going to a place he did not
know but he followed the leadings of God.
Be careful what you say, child of God. By the power of the Holy Ghost, let the
weak say “I am strong”, because you will not die but live to declare the works of
God. Make sure you are around people who are not disgruntled and bitter
because this lot stir controversy in the church.

THE PRIEST, THE PROPHETESS, AND THE PROPHET

Miriam and Aaron moved with Moses most of the time, but gradually they
became disenchanted and started backbiting Moses, bringing the wrath of God
upon themselves. God fought for Moses because He always chooses a man or
woman and assigns him to do something. The people around Moses contested
his calling by saying that they had also been called by God. Miriam probably
thought she had made Moses who he was, but that was immaterial because it is
God who chooses the one He wants to use.
You might have led someone to Christ and brought him to church, and before
you realize, he has been made a deacon or a leader in the church. This does not
mean that you should be bitter; continue to serve the Lord without stirring
acrimony against that person. Miriam had harboured this attitude for a long time.
She had started duplicating what Moses did.
‘Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand;
and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam
answered them: “Sing to the LORD, For He has triumphed gloriously! The
horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!’ Exodus 15:20
Moses sang with all the people but later, Miriam did the same thing with the
women. Subtly, she was beginning to have a competitive spirit and finally it
showed up. She criticized Moses for the woman he had married so many years
ago.
God always chooses people who live by the word of God, and a believer who
is filled with the Spirit of God can impart the spirit to others.
‘The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.’
Romans 8:16
 Because we are the children of God let us walk in His word. It does not matter
what you are going through, Jesus has the last word and will change your story.
A pastor who may have prayed up and has a vision, shares his vision. Then
someone, a leader in the congregation, decides to sow seeds of discord and
suddenly acid is poured on the vision of the pastor.

THE SPIRIT OF JOAB

Joab was part of the mighty men that moved with David, but along the line he
went contrary to what David instructed most of the time. He had acquired a
‘different’ spirit.
‘Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, “In time past
you were seeking for David to be king over you. Now then, do it! For the LORD
has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of My servant David, I will save My
people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and the hand of all their
enemies.’” And Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin. Then Abner also
went to speak in the hearing of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel
and the whole house of Benjamin. So Abner and twenty men with him came to
David at Hebron. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with
him. At that moment the servants of David and Joab came from a raid and
brought much spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he
had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
When Joab and all the troops that were with him had come, they told Joab,
saying, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he sent him away, and he
has gone in peace.” Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you
done? Look, Abner came to you; why is it that you sent him away, and he has
already gone? Surely you realize that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you,
to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”
And when Joab had gone from David’s presence, he sent messengers after Abner,
who brought him back from the well of Sirah. But David did not know it. Now
when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak
with him privately, and there stabbed him in the stomach, so that he died for the
blood of Asahel his brother.’ 2 Samuel 3:17-27
Joab was one of the generals of David’s army. In times past when David and
Saul’s house were having squabbles, Joab’s brother, Asahel, chased Abner in
battle. As he chased him, Abner, who was a seasoned Army General, told Asahel
to stop the chase because he did not want to kill him and have a problem with his
brother. Being a seasoned General, he took the back of his spear and thrust it in
the rib of Asahael and he died. When Joab heard it, he started making plans to
avenge his brother’s death.
Abner had come to David negotiating with him so that the kingdom of Israel
that had been divided would be one. After making peace with David, Abner left
only to be lured back for Joab to kill him. David did not know anything about
this and later had to curse Joab because of this. What this man did was that, he
went contrary to the words of David. He had contracted a different spirit.
‘Then the king said to them, “Whatever seems best to you I will do.” So the
king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by
thousands. Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, saying, “Deal
gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” And all the people heard when
the king gave all the captains orders concerning Absalom. Then Absalom met the
servants of David. Absalom rode on a mule. The mule went under the thick
boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; so he was
left hanging between heaven and earth. And the mule which was under him went
on.
‘Now a certain man saw it and told Joab, and said, “I just saw Absalom
hanging in a terebinth tree!” So Joab said to the man who told him, “You just
saw him! And why did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have
given you ten shekels of silver and a belt.” But the man said to Joab, “Though I
were to receive a thousand shekels of silver in my hand, I would not raise my
hand against the king’s son. For in our hearing the king commanded you and
Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Beware lest anyone touch the young man Absalom!’
‘Otherwise I would have dealt falsely against my own life. For there is nothing
hidden from the king, and you yourself would have set yourself against me.”
Then Joab said, “I cannot linger with you.” And he took three spears in his hand
and thrust them through Absalom’s heart, while he was still alive in the midst of
the terebinth tree.
And ten young men who bore Joab’s armor surrounded Absalom, and struck
and killed him.’ 2 Samuel 18:5-13
Joab had always disobeyed David. He heard David saying that Absalom
should not be killed but he went ahead to kill him. People like Joab, when they
are in the church, even though they feel they are hurt, will not leave but stay and
create more trouble and invite people to join them create a cartel. At times when
you investigate you will find out that they have their own group which does not
even believe in the leadership of the church.
‘Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king”;
and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before
him. And his father had not rebuked him at any time by saying, “Why have you
done so?” He was also very good-looking. His mother had borne him after
Absalom.Then he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the
priest, and they followed and helped Adonijah. But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the
son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who
belonged to David were not with Adonijah.’ 1 Kings 1:5-9
David was advanced in years and had to choose another successor. He chose
Solomon but he had not enthroned him. David had another son who was called
Adonijah. He thought he had to be king because he was the eldest. Solomon was
a young man and so to Joab that was not the right thing to be done. Consistently
Joab was going against the leadership of David.
‘Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed is he
who keeps back his sword from blood.’ Jeremiah 48:10
People who have this negative spirit do the work of God but they do it
deceitfully, which does not augur well for the body of Christ. Most of the time
they do this because they have been hurt and have become passive in the things
of God.
It is always good to have a constructive spirit and not a critical spirit. Learn to
appreciate things in the church because people spend their time to tidy up the
church and rehearse in order for you to have a good church service and so be
thankful. When people are piqued, they find fault, magnify the fault and find
everything wrong with what the church does.
It is always good to have a loving and caring spirit and not to foment trouble in
the church. God has given me the people I have to pastor and may whatever God
has prepared for you come to you in Jesus’ name. I prophesy that God’s plan and
purpose for your life will come to pass in Jesus’ name.
An authoritative figure like a pastor or a teacher may start praying and
counselling people, and before he knows, he starts having affairs with the
women he counsels. Many pastors, church workers and believers have subtly
strayed away because they came into contact with a stronger spirit.
Have you ever wondered how a calm person, well trained, could go to school
for a few weeks and come back very cocky and disrespectful? It is often because
someone with a stronger spirit has influenced him negatively and probably
transferred a bad spirit to him. As a young man, I went to school very innocent
and yet came back smoking cigarettes! What happened was that I had come into
contact with people who had a stronger spirit and they had transferred a bad
spirit to me.
A lot of businesses have also suffered because one employee, guided by a
negative spirit, rises up one day and sows seeds of discord amongst the other
employees, which causes their boss to suffer. Be wary of the people you
associate with and guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues
of life.
Parents can easily transfer a good or bad spirit to their children and that is why
as a good parent, you need to communicate good things to your children so that
they can receive a good spirit instead of a bad spirit. If you keep talking ill about
your pastor and church before your children, then you have to know that
gradually you are transferring a bad spirit which will influence your children not
to attend church services because they will think that there is dishonesty in the
church.
When my children were growing up, I made sure that I did not speak ill about
the church and others in their presence even though I had my own reservations
about some of the people. I must confess that as a pastor, my wife and I have
seen a lot of things that could make us bitter but we resolved not to discuss it in
front of our children because we did not want to contaminate their spirits.
It once happened that in our French service we had a gentleman who was very
punctual in church. This child of God suddenly came into contact with a friend
who kept convincing him that going to church was not too important, and
gradually he stopped church and started influencing others too. Well, we
recognized the source and dealt with it and he was liberated to serve the Lord
again
There was also a guy in our French service at the Perez Dome, Accra who after
visiting a friend to spend few days with him came back feeling he was being
harassed by other guys around. To him the guys around him wanted to have sex
with him. After investigation it was discovered that the friend he went to spend
time with was gay and just by staying with him for those few days and lying on
his bed etc the spirit of ‘gayism’ or homosexuality had affected him. The spirit
was cast out through prayer and this gentleman is now free.
A discontented associate pastor can start influencing and affecting people to
the extent that their commitment becomes questionable. Most of the time, they
would refuse to submit to leadership and talk contrarily to thwart the efforts of
the leader; and if the church is not careful, it would suffer a split.
It happened to me when I first started ministry. There was this gentleman that I
had so much confidence in and so I took little notice of his activities in the
church. Gradually, he started influencing the church members against me and
expressed a contrary view to everything I said. It got to a point when I could feel
that I was being fought against by the church. When a leader in a church is not
self-disciplined, they start meeting with people privately, start laying hands on
them and before one realizes, they have transferred a spirit that does not augur
well for the church.
This is one of the many reasons why you should not allow just anybody to lay
hands on you, because you could be going for a negative spirit that would fight
against the things of God. Let only people who have good spirits lay hands on
you.
As a Christian, you need to be very sharp in the spirit so that you do not get
contaminated with a strange spirit. And this can happen when you allow all
kinds of people to lay their hands on you. It is possible to know a person who is
really led by the Spirit because the Bible says that by their fruits you will know
them.
Most of the people who killed other people unexpectedly from freak causes
have confirmed that they loved listening to rock music and therefore had the
urge to kill. An American, Ariel Castro, kidnapped three young girls, kept them
in his basement for 11 years and slept with them continuously until one of them
got pregnant. Later, the court found him guilty and sentenced him to one
thousand years imprisonment with no parole.
On his way to start his sentence, when he was given the opportunity to talk, he
said he had been watching a lot of pornography. Would it be far fetched to
suggest that a spirit had been transferred to him that gave him the insatiable
desire for sleeping with women? This brings me to the impact that radio and
television have on a person who is addicted to them. It is sad to note that many
marriages have ended on the rocks because some couples have watched soap
operas that taught them bad things and they got obsessed in such a way that there
was a conversion of spirit. Radio and television are powerful tools for good or
evil. It is important that we be careful about the things we watch on television
because people have perceived marriage, for instance, in a way that is shown by
the television, and through the importation of culture we are receiving from the
powerful transmission of television.
Let us not be deceived into thinking that these things are fables, because they
are spiritual and you need someone who is spiritually discerning to understand
them.
‘For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is
in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now
we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that
we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things
we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy
Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man
does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him;
nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.’ 1 Corinthians
2:11-14
The scripture suggests that spiritual things can be ‘seen’ by people who are in
tune with the Spirit.
The Bible has said that perilous times will come and that there will be a lot of
seducing spirits whose aim it will be to thwart Christians’ efforts at serving God.
Our consolation, however, is that the Bible says, “if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect”. But possibility does not imply probability. Thank God
that because knowledge and wisdom, according to the Bible, shall be the
stability of our times, we the elect will not be deceived!
 CHAPTER 3

MEANS OF NEGATIVE TRANSFER

Evil spirits have been transferred to unsuspecting victims through several
ways. The following are some of the very common means of negative
transference of spirits:

1. Through Sex (for more on this, get my book, Dealing with Sex, Lust, Love
and Sexual Sins )
a. Because sex is the window to the soul of a person, sexual sin leads to
bondage and guilt
b. It is dangerous to have sex with someone other than your legitimate
partner. It deposits a wrong spirit in you

David received a wrong spirit after sinning with Bathsheba, which shrouded
his judgment to commit another sin which was murder. When he repented, he
had to pray to God to “Renew a right spirit within him” Ps 51:10.
2. Female satanic agents render some of their sexual partners impotent, or
release a lustful spirit to them. A young Nigerian prostitute working in Rome
(who was delivered from satanic possession) said, “I had two serpents in my
vagina: a ‘good’ one and a ‘wicked’ one. When I had sex with a man, and the
good one manifested through me, it would deposit a lustful spirit in the man.
Whether or not the man was married, he would lust after me and others. If the
wicked one manifested, the man I slept with would be struck with an incurable
disease.”
In May 2005, I preached in Rome and visited with a sick man at the El Panza
hospital. He said to me, “Bishop, I met a girl I wanted to marry. I had sex with
her. The last thing I remember is her looking at me with a wicked frown. I woke
up in this hospital three weeks ago paralysed and with a brain infection. The lady
has not even come to visit me.” A man also shared this testimony with me
around the same period I was in Rome. He said, “I was going home one night
when I gave this lady a lift. We talked, went to her house and had sex. When we
finished, she just said to me “You are finished; I just put a snake in your body.”
Since then, I feel a snake walking under my skin. After much torment, I went to
Pastor Tony Ackon’s church and he had a word of knowledge about my situation
and prayed for me and I had my deliverance. Two days later, the lady called me
and said, ‘you returned my serpents to me when I was giving them to you for
power and protection.’ I changed my phone number and we haven’t been in
touch since.”
These female satanic agents neutralized the men’s importance after having sex
with them. Those sexual escapades opened the door to attacks. Do not forget that
when you have an affair with someone other than your legitimate partner, you
lose your confidence, come under guilt, open the door of satanic attack against
your ministry and family, and worst of all, you will lose your authority in your
local church. Jim Bakker writes about his 15-20 minutes quick tryst and furtive
sexual encounter with Jessica Hahn: “I had not even paused to think of the
potential ramification of my actions while giving in to the temptation of having
sex with a woman other than my wife. I had opened the door to attack on the
ministry I headed, my family and me, personally. Worse yet, the Devil had not
made me do any of it; I had done it of my own stubborn will.” Jim Bakker sadly
lost one of the major worldwide ministries of the time.
A young man on his deathbed invited me to listen to his confession: “Bishop, I
have been a committed and dedicated Christian since my Secondary School and
University days. I was working as an engineer with a good firm, married to a
committed wife and we had children. I went to the office one Saturday to finish
up my assignments. A young lady of about 18 years of age who had come to live
with me from our village for over five years suddenly entered my office and
said, ‘Dad I just came to see how you were faring.’ Before I could say Jack, we
were having sex. A few months after that, I discovered that my internal organs
were destroyed. Everything was done to find out the cause of my ailment but
there was no medical explanation. The more I prayed about it, the more I felt
convinced that my sexual sin had opened me up to satanic attack. I wish I had
been more careful.” If you break the hedge, the serpent will bite you.
Male satanic agents also release sperms to destroy wombs and fallopian tubes
during sexual intercourse. Many ladies are carrying sicknesses and diseases they
acquired through sexual intercourse. They however cannot tell how they got
these diseases but when they cast their minds back, they remember there was a
certain intercourse that opened them up.
These satanic agents also make the women carry a lustful spirit. Through sex,
some girls are initiated into a life of prostitution and immorality. Some know that
what they are doing is a shame to womanhood and they do not like what they are
doing, yet they cannot control themselves. It also opens them up to attacks.
3. Those with lustful spirits generally seduce people through the use of points of
contacts such as food, sweets, gift materials, clothes etc
a. Clothes - if the anointing can be transferred through clothes, so can demonic
spirits transfer things through the same medium. Ezek. 13:18 ‘And say, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and
make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the
souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?’
b. Food - many single Christian brothers have fallen into sexual sins through
invitations to eat Ezekiel 13:19-21 ‘And will ye pollute me among my people
for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should
not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my
people that hear your lies? Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and
I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that
ye hunt to make them fly. Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my
people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be
hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.’
Prov. 23:6-8 ‘Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither
desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and
drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou
hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.’
c. Kisses, shaking of hands, intimate embraces (hugs), common usage of
handkerchiefs, sharing of clothes, wigs and attachments, materials sold by
satanic agents. This means you need to know the lifestyle of the people you
share things with lest you pick wrong spirits.
1 Tim. 5:22-25 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other
men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine
often infirmities.
Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some
men they follow after.
Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that
are otherwise cannot be hid.
SEXUAL LUST
 The second area where the Devil tempts us is in the area of sexual lust. The
Bible is full of people who did not stand the test of sexual lust. David, as well as
Samson, did not stand the test of sexual lust, so as you pray everyday, pray that
God would sustain you, and keep you from being influenced and from falling
into sexual sin. Sexual lust can also be transferred and that is what we call
seduction. One African writer has said, “The beautiful ones are not yet born,”
therefore you will keep coming across people who are more attractive than your
spouse. You will need to control yourself and be content with the partner God
has given you so that you will not fall into sexual sin.
The Jews have a proverb, which says that, “To every one person, there are
seven people that you are attracted to.” That means that the day you saw your
partner and you thought that your heart was like an ice block in the sun, there are
six other people you will see for whom your heart will be on fire. Thus the only
thing that will keep you is continuous and consistent prayer that God will keep
you from temptation and you would be able to resist temptation.

THE SPIRITS OF LUST AND COMPROMISE

The spirit of lust is a strong spirit. Once you notice that you are beginning to
desire a member of the opposite sex other than your partner, report to your pastor
or someone with a stronger anointing to help you in prayer. As you pray deal
with the spirits of seduction (Delilah) released against you. When you see a
member of the opposite sex other than your legitimate partner and you cannot
get over the person, you go to bed and you still cannot shake off the person, you
need to pray. This spirit also goes with the spirit of compromise. Be a person of
principles; do not compromise your principles. Pray for the spirit of boldness to
uphold godly principles.
SOULISH DESIRES
I like to pray with my wife and if she is close to me I join my hands with her
and pray that God will sustain our marriage; that God will cause me to love her
better, that God will knit us together like never before, because the Bible says,
“He who thinks he stands should be careful lest he fall.” 1 Cor. 10:12. One thing
you do not need to do is to be too confident about your emotions. Instead you
will need to keep your emotions under the word of God. Do not forget that when
the sons of God in ancient times saw the daughters of men, (Genesis 6:1,2) they
had affairs with them because the daughters of men were beautiful. Jesus said
when you pray, pray that you will be delivered from temptation. It also means do
not create the environment to fall into sexual sin. For instance, do not be left in a
room alone with the opposite sex other than your family. If you do not even do
anything, you cannot defend yourself to the people outside. Billy Graham, the
great evangelist, once said, “I agreed with my team that to avoid sexual scandals,
we should not be found alone with the opposite sex other than our married
partners.” What wisdom!!
Desires that are wrong do not originate from you – they are in your inward
parts. The Psalmist says in Ps. 19:12, “...cleanse thou me from secret faults.”
Don’t also forget that the things you watch create the desires. A great man of
God who had a church of over 8,000 people in the 1980’s fell from grace and he
said he knew that the spirit of lust attached itself to him at the age of 13 when he
would look at pornographic pictures. That was a transfer of a lustful spirit.
Sex is supposed to be for marriage because you never forget anyone you have
sex with. The moment you have sex with a person, your souls are attached. It is
easy to yield in again to someone you have had sex with. In my local dialect
there is a proverb that is interpreted to mean, “The embers of an old fire are
easily lit.” This is used to describe the relationship between former sleeping
birds. When a person you ever had sex with begins to desire you, we call it
soulish desires. Some also desire you soulishly when you have had nothing to do
with them, and you need to pray consistently against this. Once I preached in a
church and I broached this subject. Later, a woman who had been married for
twenty years came to me saying she never enjoys sex with her partner without
having to think of her former boyfriend of over 20 years. After the teaching
when she prayed and asked the blood of Jesus to cleanse her emotions, she was
delivered from these soulish desires.
WRESTLING IN THE SPIRIT
Wrestle in the Spirit and claim what belongs to you, because as I said earlier,
though we are in the flesh, we do not fight after the flesh.
‘For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:’ 2 Cor. 10:3-4
‘Put on the whole armour of God that you may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil.’ Ephesians 6:11
The word ‘wiles’, from the Greek word metodias, refers to ‘plans’, ‘schemes’,
‘means’ or ‘methods’ used to entice, enslave, and entrap men’s soul into sinning
so that the work of the Holy Spirit will be nullified. This is the reason why we
should not be ignorant of his devices; his plans that he will use to entrap your
soul into sinning. It has been said that in the last days strange spirits will be
manifesting and human beings will be lovers of themselves and not of God.
Satan is a master planner and a master schemer. So you do not have to be
ignorant about his devices.
‘… lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his
devices.’ 2 Corinthians 2:11
He wants to get advantage over us but we should not be ignorant of his devices
because by knowledge we shall overcome. Knowledge of the word is very
important.
‘For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual
hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
‘Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your
waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod
your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield
of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
one.
‘And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the
saints.’ Eph. 6:12 -17
This challenge is not between human beings, and that is the more reason why
you should not fight anyone simply because some prophet somewhere has told
you that your relative is working against you spiritually. It is a spiritual thing and
there is a spirit behind it that must be dealt with and not that relative of yours.
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood. The issue is not against flesh
and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high
places. Our contention, therefore, is with spiritual beings.
‘I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and
he has nothing in Me.’ John 14:30
What an awesome statement, ‘… for the prince of this world is coming, and he
has nothing in Me…’ It is a powerful statement. This was the first time someone
could say this, which shows that Jesus was perfect, and that is why we should
also work towards perfection. Satan could find no scandal, no weakness, no
particle of sin in Him. If He comes right now, can we say about ourselves what
He said about Himself? Let sin be a thing of the past.
Satan has rights that were given to him as the prince of this world; this was
given to him by Adam. When God created man, the woman and the man were
both named Adam; it was the man who gave the name Eve to his wife when he
sinned. The day Adam sinned the woman was deceived. The man was supposed
to rebuke and resist his wife from sinning. From that day, man submitted his
authority to the Devil, and so Jesus acknowledged that he was the prince of this
world. The devil even told Jesus during the temptation that the world had been
delivered unto him.
SPIRITS ARE TRANSFERRED THROUGH WHAT WE SEE AND HEAR
Rom. 10:17 ‘Faith cometh by hearing...’ What we hear and see could easily
transmit the spirit of fear and defeat into our lives.
Faith is also a spirit and is transferred by hearing 2 Cor. 4:13 We having the
same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I
spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Jesus said, ‘…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life.’ John 6:63
You easily do and become what you see. Watching pornography will make you
do what you see.
‘And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded
the land at the coming in of the year. And it came to pass, as they were burying a
man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the
sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of
Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.’ 2 Kings 13:20-21

SO WHAT MUST I DO?

As I have stated earlier, spiritual things are spiritually discerned and cannot be
discerned physically. For instance, when Elijah was taken to heaven, Elisha saw
the chariots of fire, but the prophets did not see them. They saw the whirlwind
and so they believed that he had been dumped somewhere. But Elisha, being a
spiritual man, saw what the others did not see. Because they were spiritually
blind, they went looking for him three days and nights and gave up when they
did not find his body. The Lord will open your eyes to see what others cannot
see.
The Bible says that the spirit of man can know only the things of man. ‘For
what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.’ 1 Cor. 2:11
When one receives Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal Saviour, the battle
starts: the Devil is ejected from that person’s spirit. The irony is that, even
though he is sacked, he does not give up. He initiates and continues his war
against that person, and this is why we must be spiritually minded so that we can
overcome temptations.
‘For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and
these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you
wish.’ Galatians 5:17
There is always a battle between us and the spiritual realm. This comes from
our flesh and it is important for us to understand the flesh. The flesh always
wants to fight the spirit and the way you give in will make you lust in this life.
One of the ways to escape from the lust that the flesh initiates is to strive to
mature in the things of God so that you are not tossed about by any wind of
doctrine.
When you receive Christ you are born anew and you need to grow up in the
word of God. When we were unbelievers, we moved according to the dictates of
this world; but once we come to Christ, we need to grow up. If you do not grow
up in Christ, you cannot possess your possessions because, according to the
Bible, you are not mature enough and cannot handle your estates.
‘Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a
slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the
time appointed by the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in
bondage under the elements of the world. But when the fullness of the time had
come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law.’ Galatians
4:1-4
You need to grow up by reading the word of God daily and praying. It is also
important that you make a commitment to go to a Bible-believing church where
the five-fold ministry is working so that you will be equipped to grow up in the
Lord.
‘And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists,
and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the
faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of
the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of
men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.’ Ephesians
4:11-14
God has given us preachers for the perfecting of the saints because we are not
perfect yet. This is why the Psalmist proclaimed that God will perfect what
concerns us for us to grow up unto a perfect man and be united in the faith, being
like Jesus. We must know that our standard for perfection should be Jesus and
not an elder or a pastor. Let Christ be your yardstick and strive to attain the
fullness of Christ.
One needs to do this so that one will not be tossed to and fro. Stop running
around seeking things that do not exist. You always have itching ears to know
the latest prophet in town so that you can run to that place. The best thing you
can do to save yourself a lot of trouble is to grow up so that when you have
demonic attacks or enter into trouble, you can know how to take the word and
fight back.
The Bible has admonished us through this scripture to be careful in dealing
with people, who have been described as being very crafty and having cunning
craftiness and lie in wait to deceive. This means that you should be careful about
certain people who call themselves men and women of God but who do not have
the word of God as the foundation they are standing on. I want to state on record
that any person who calls himself a man of God and who invokes things to curse
people is a fake pastor. The Bible says in the book of Jude that such people are
like “clouds without rain”. They play by tricks, so be careful the pastors with
whom you associate.
A lot of Christians are carrying loads because of the hands they have allowed
to be laid on them. But the Bible has said that you should not let anybody lay
hands on you suddenly. This is because you can contract a negative spirit easily
through the laying on of hands. Be careful, stay under a shepherd God has
chosen and stop going everywhere seeking for one prophet or the other to pray
for you. Some of them are not called by God and by their fruits they shall be
known.
Dearly beloved, there is nothing new under the sun and so stop roaming about
so that you will not be tossed about by any wind of doctrine. Be careful what and
whom you associate yourself with. I want to sound a note of caution here. You
are a Christian and must not believe rituals that are performed on your behalf by
your family or extended family. Even if you are not present and you send your
money for support, you will be affected by the repercussions that are associated
with these traditional practices.
I speak that any covenant you have entered into that is working against you, in
the name of Jesus, I break it and declare that it will not have any effect on you. If
you have been attacked in the spirit, I ask that you will be set free in Jesus’
name. Whatever you saw that intimidated you, in the name of Jesus, may there
be a liberation. May what your fathers and mothers did never affect you in Jesus’
name.
Do not take spiritual things lightly because the spirit rules the natural.
‘For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh for the
weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting
down of strongholds), casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is
exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity
to the obedience of Christ; and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience,
when your obedience shall be made full.’ 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
It is unscriptural to fight people physically because you think they are witches
or wizards working against you. The battle is not with human beings but with
spirits and so do not let someone deceive you that your mother is a witch and go
and attack her. It is spiritual and must be dealt with spiritually. The weapons of
our warfare are not physical. Beloved, we live in the flesh; there is a warfare
going on but the joy of it is that we will win this war in Jesus’ name.
 CHAPTER FOUR

POSITIVE TRANSFERENCE
TRANSFERENCE OF GOOD SPIRITS
The Scripture tells us about Moses who sat down all day to judge between the
people of Israel who brought their grievances to him. His father-in-law, Jethro,
asked him to seek help so that he would not grow weary. God asked him to
choose seventy elders and He put the spirit that was on Moses on them. They
needed the same spirit that was upon Moses so that there will be no discord in
their work.
The same applies in our churches. People who are called to help the leader
should carry the spirit that is upon him so that they would be doing the same
thing. May this anointing come upon your life and work for you.
After Abraham and Lot separated, Lot went to Sodom and Gomorrah. Later
the city came under siege and Lot was taken away captive. When Abraham
heard it, he decided to rescue his nephew. The Bible says that he took servants
trained in his own house and with the same spirit to rescue Lot.
It is important that we not use “imported help” because it breeds a lot of
trouble. When people come and join us, it is important for them to be trained so
that they will do what we do and submit to the leadership of the church and work
for the benefit of all. It is unscriptural to start your own small groupings and
breed dissension in the church.
‘And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods,
and departed. And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the
Hebrew: now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol,
and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram. And when Abram
heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his
house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan. And he divided
himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued
them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.’ Genesis 14:12-15
Churches that have done very well have associates and workers who admit,
admire, submit to and listen to their leader because they are of one spirit and one
determination.
JOSHUA AND THE OTHER SPIES
‘And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us;
and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are
fortified, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and
the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea,
and along by the side of the Jordan.
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and
possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him
said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the
children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is
a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it
are men of great stature.’ Numbers 13:27-32
Moses chose representatives from the twelve tribes of Israel to go and spy the
land that God had promised them. Ten of them came back with an evil report.
They confirmed that the land was good, but they could not possess it because
there were giants in there. It did not matter that those with the evil report were in
the majority; Joshua and Caleb were very optimistic.
‘And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of
them that spied out the land, rent their clothes: and they spake unto all the
congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed
through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. If Jehovah delight in us, then he
will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land which floweth with milk
and honey. Only rebel not against Jehovah, neither fear ye the people of the
land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over them, and
Jehovah is with us: fear them not.’ Numbers 14:6-9
These men obviously had a different spirit. They did not want to associate
themselves with people who had a strange spirit.
God’s wrath was upon them and most of them died in the wilderness; and
years later when Joshua was leading them, they spied the land again, and the
people they sent, who had received the same spirit upon Joshua and Caleb,
brought the same report as Joshua and Caleb did. There had been a transference
of spirit.
‘And they said to Joshua, “Truly the LORD has delivered all the land into our
hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the country are fainthearted because of
us.”’ Joshua 2:24

DAVID TO HIS MEN

‘Now it happened afterward that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines,
at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the sons of
the giant. And they were subdued. Again there was war with the Philistines, and
Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft
of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. Yet again there was war at Gath,
where there was a man of great stature, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six on
each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant. So when he
defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him. These
were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the
hand of his servants.’ 1 Chronicles 20:4-8
There had been a conversion of the spirit upon David unto his men. David had
run towards Goliath and killed him. Years later we are told by the above
scripture that his men also had the anointing and killed some of the family
members of Goliath.
At the time we started the Tamale church, many people thought that we would
not progress, but look at what God has done! He has beaten our imagination. I
ask God that you will flourish where they said that you will not progress.
‘Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that
they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge
of them, that they had been with Jesus.’ Acts 4:13
JESUS TO HIS DISCIPLES
There had been a transference of spirit from Jesus. The disciples did not have
all the knowledge that the religious leaders and scribes had, but something from
Jesus had rubbed on them. The religious antagonists of that era had no option
than to admit that the disciples had indeed been influenced by the Lord Jesus
Christ. The disciples were called Christians because they were like Christ. The
Bible also says that it was in Antioch that the believers were first called
Christians. The reason was that the Spirit of Christ had been transferred unto
them and they acted and talked like Jesus.
The spirit that is transmitted to you makes all the difference. Do not be afraid
because He has said that because of the Spirit upon your life, no weapon formed
against you shall prosper. On this score, I bind every weapon invoked against
you in trees and in water, and I liberate you in the name of the Lord. May the
God that I serve work for your good.
 CHAPTER FIVE

MANTLES
‘Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said,
“The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him, and bowed to
the ground before him.’ 2 Kings 2:15
The Prophet Elijah was one of the greatest prophets Israel ever had. It came to
pass that when he was about to go to heaven, he was instructed to mentor Elisha,
who was his assistant in the ministry. Elijah, by the plan of God, was to be taken
into heaven by chariots of fire and Elisha had gone to see him off and bid him
farewell.
Elisha told his spiritual father that he wanted a double portion of his anointing
upon his life. To this Elijah answered him that if he saw him going to heaven,
then the anointing would come upon his life. Elijah threw his mantle down to
him and the spirit upon his life was transferred to Elisha. On his way back, the
sons of the prophets recognized immediately that the spirit that Elijah had was
resting upon Elisha. In fact, a close look at the ministry of Elisha shows that he
walked in the same anointing that came upon him when his master exited this
world.
‘And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:’ Acts 19:11-12
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and
the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
Handkerchiefs and aprons are also referred to as mantles. A mantle in the
natural means a loose sleeveless garment worn over other clothes. Figuratively,
however, it is a cloak, which symbolizes authority or pre-eminence. It also
represents a covering or protection. It is therefore our spiritual covering whilst
on earth. In the spiritual realm it also means glory, kindness, lordship,
excellence, nobility, authority, strength, essence and great courage. The
anointing can be stored in clothes like Aaron’s transfer of the high priestly
office.
‘Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and
Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.
 And Moses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in
the sight of all the congregation.
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his
son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came
down from the mount.’ Numbers 20:25-28

ELIJAH & ELISHA

When Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah’s anointing, his mentor did
not pray for him nor anoint him with oil. What Elijah left for him was his mantle
which fell from him as Elisha cried out. 2 Kings 2:12-15
‘And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel,
and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own
clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and
stood by the bank of Jordan;
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and
said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters,
they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they
said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and
bowed themselves to the ground before him.’
When the mantle fell Elisha knew it contained the anointing or the spirit of his
mentor Elijah, so he took it and did exactly what his master did at the Jordan
river.
Jesus was anointed according to His own declaration and that of Peter:
Luke 4:18 ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised,’
Acts 10:38 ‘How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of
the devil; for God was with him.’
When the woman with the issue of blood heard about Him she knew if she
touched His clothes (which had stored the anointing), her situation would
change. She therefore touched His clothes and got her miracle.
 Mark 5:25-30
‘And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she
had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his
garment.
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her
body that she was healed of that plague.
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him,
turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?’
Later many sought to touch Him. I am sure after they heard the testimony of
this woman they also sought to touch Him!
Mark 6:53-56
‘And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and
drew to the shore.
And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in
beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the
sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the
border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.’
Matthew 14:35-36
‘And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all
that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; And
besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as
touched were made perfectly whole.’
The wife of one of my associate pastors, Mrs Omega, experienced a real
transference of spirits. They had been married for over eight years with no fruit
of the womb. One day I visited Tamale, Northern Ghana, where they were then
pastoring to preach. My shirt was wet with sweat so I gave it over to the lady to
wash for me because I did not want to put it amongst my dirty laundry. When
she got home she said to herself that it was her opportunity for a breakthrough,
so she wore the shirt to bed. When she woke up in the morning she washed the
shirt but believed she would get pregnant. That same month she got pregnant and
delivered a bouncing baby. To God be the glory for great things He has done. It
was a transference through the shirt.
God normally takes the gift or anointing on an individual and gives a measure
to others. It is the transference of spirits. We receive a mantle that rests on a
person by partaking of his books and tapes.
According to Luke 4:18, the purpose of the anointing is ‘to preach the gospel
to the poor… to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.’
No purpose listed is for personal benefit but rather to bless others.
Isaiah 10:27 ‘And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be
taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke
shall be destroyed because of the anointing.’
There are two types of anointings or mantles, operating over certain
individuals on earth:
1. Generational Mantles
These are transferred from natural or spiritual fathers and mothers to their sons
and daughters. When there is a mentor/protégé relationship, in time the mantle is
transferred from one generation to the other.
2. Special Mantles
These are given by God and placed directly upon certain individuals to carry a
specific mandate for a particular generation.
Once the purpose is fulfilled the mantle cannot be duplicated e.g. David
1 Samuel 13:14 ‘But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought
him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain
over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded
thee.’
David received a special mantle for praise, worship and warfare. A special
anointing will often be accompanied by a small preview of what will come in the
future.
Anointings are being loosed on the earth today for music, teaching, for the
five-fold ministry, for politics, education, business, the arts, spiritual warfare,
healing, miracles etc.
HOW TO RECEIVE FROM A MANTLE
‘It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard,
even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;’ Psalm 133:2
 To receive a mantle:
1. Recognize the mantle – It is like precious ointment upon a person’s life.
2. Receive the mantle
3. Honour the mantle - Place a high value on the anointing. The anointing you
respect is the anointing you attract.
4. Serve the mantle
MANTLES CAN BE REJECTED
‘He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s
reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man
shall receive a righteous man’s reward.’ Matthew 10:41
From the scripture above, it can be inferred that if a prophet is rejected, then so
is his mantle. A mantle can be rejected:
i. If we don’t receive it as we receive a gift
ii. If we do not respect it
iii. If we criticize or judge it
iv. If we become too familiar with it
Once you speak badly about a mantle or anointing on a person you die to that
mantle. Some mantles have never been used because they were rejected. The
mantle you reject will be the one to judge you
Always place a demand on the anointing or mantle by expressing a desire or
hunger for the manifestation of God’s power. Many times when a preacher stops
to minister to someone while he is preaching, it is because that person placed a
demand on the anointing.
Remember: familiarity produces conformity and disrespect, which makes it
impossible to receive. Many today have become so familiar with the ministers
that they cannot receive from them. When you don’t place a demand on the
anointing you stop being a recipient of it.
 CHAPTER SIX

TRANSFERENCE OF THE ANOINTING

‘For I long to see you that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift to the end
that ye may be established.’ (Rom. 1:11)
The anointing and gifts of the Spirit can be imparted or are transferable. There
are three ways to receive an anointing:
1. By God directly ministering it to you, as in the two cases narrated in my case
of the healing and miracle commissions.
2. By association: for example, Elisha associating with Elijah; and by reading the
books and listening to the tapes of someone anointed and following what he
does in ministry.
Bishop David Oyedepo talks about the time when he wrestled with the issue of
divine wealth. He read Gloria Copeland’s book It Is God’s Will For You to
Prosper while fasting. God told him He had anointed him to prosper and to teach
His people to prosper. He recounts how one time he got to the USA for a
conference and was checking into a hotel when he overheard them say Kenneth
Copeland just checked out of that same hotel. He asked them not to change the
bedsheet because he wanted to sleep on the same sheets. He believes something
rubbed off on him for supernatural prosperity when he did.
3. By impartation through the laying on of hands. Paul transferred an anointing
onto Timothy.
‘Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir the gift of God which is in
thee by the putting on of my hands.’ 2 Tim. 1:6
Joshua received wisdom from God by Moses’ laying hands on him (Deut. 34:
9).
The following are some other notable men and woman of God who
experienced a significant transfer of the anointing from other servants of God.

TL AND DAISY OSBORN

TL and Daisy Osborn had been struggling in ministry. They had gone to India
as missionaries and for almost a year had just a handful of people getting saved.
They returned to America disappointed and accepted a pastorate in 1947. During
this period they heard of the death of Dr. Charles S. Price. It so affected TL that
he prayed saying, “Lord, those great heroes of faith are gone now, and millions
are still dying. Multitudes are still sick and suffering. To whom will they go for
help? Who will stir our large cities and fill our large auditoriums with the
magnetic power of God, healing the sick and casting out devils? What will the
world do now?” Soon after that in September 1947 there was a William
Branham meeting which the Osborns attended, and where the man of God
prayed for the sick. As the sick received their healing, TL says he heard a
thousand voices say to him “You can do that! That’s the Bible way! Peter and
Paul did it that way! That’s the way Jesus did it. That proves that the Bible way
works today! You can do that! That’s what God wants you to do!” Many days of
fasting and prayer followed this and then he and his wife received a divine
commission to go and do likewise 1 . Since then it is recorded that no couple has
ever preached face to face to more people and seen more miracles than the TL
and Daisy Osborn.

REINHARD BONNKE
Reinhard Bonnke’s father was a pastor. Having been exposed to ministry life at
an early age, he sensed an urge to preach the gospel when he was still very
young and therefore went to England to study at a Bible school. He could not
speak English then because he was German. It was at this place that he started
learning the English language.
When he completed his Bible school and was about to go back home, the train
he was to board would arrive a bit late and so he decided to roam about town. As
he did that, he came across a small sign that read ‘George Jeffreys.’ George
Jeffreys was the founder of Elim Pentecostal Church. George Jeffreys and his
brother were evangelists who had the hand of God upon them. They often
preached and witnessed various signs and wonders that transformed the lives of
many people. It has been said that in one of the meetings that was held by
George, the face of Jesus Christ appeared on the wall and anyone who turned or
looked in the auditorium saw the eyes of Jesus lovingly staring at them; and as
many as saw the picture were healed.
Anyway, Reinhard Bonnke knocked at the door of this aging man of God, and
a woman answered. He enquired whether that was the house of the man of God
and the woman answered in the affirmative, but disappointed him by saying that
the man had advanced in years and was therefore not seeing anyone.
 Disillusioned, Reinhard Bonnke turned to go but then he heard a deep voice
beckoning, ‘Let him come in, I want to see him.’ He intimated that God had
spoken to him, that a young man would come and see him and that God was
going to anoint him in order for him to carry the gospel across many nations
with great signs and power. So George Jeffreys asked him to kneel down and he
prayed for him. By the time he got to Germany the next day, George Jeffreys had
died. There had been a transference of spirit 2 .

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
YEAR OF DESPERATION:
My year of desperation began in 1983 and continued for the next nine months.
During that time, I wept, prayed, groaned, and told God I did not want to do
ministry and end up a pauper. The evangelists I saw in those days did not have
any notable miracles at their meetings. I abhorred it. I prayed and told God that I
did not want a powerless ministry. I beseeched God for a ministry patterned after
the Acts of the Apostles so that after preaching, sinners could be convicted like it
happened after Peter had preached and the people were pricked in their hearts
and asked, ‘Men and brethren, what shall we do?’ (Acts 2:37). I wanted nothing
less than the power of God to win souls and heal the sick like the apostles did in
the Bible. Incidentally, Acts of the Apostles was my favourite book in the Bible.
I devoted more time to seriously study the writings of A.W. Tozer, Andrew
Murray, Charles Finney, R.A. Torrey, biographies, and autobiographies of some
of the old time revivalists. During this period, I asked God to create in me a right
spirit for revival. I asked God to break me, melt me, mould me, and use me for
His glory. Night after night I would walk up my room having sleepless nights,
praying all night, getting up early in the morning to pray, going out at noon to
the beach to cry and pour out my heart to God. During these prayer times, I wept
continually and asked God that Christ be formed in my body such that when I
touched the sick they would recover and that when I spoke, conviction would
fall on sinners.
This year of desperation became one of the most formidable years in my
Christian life. The frustrations I faced gave me the inspiration to seek the face of
God more than ever before. It gave me the opportunity to carefully mull over all
that I felt God was asking me to do. I had the chance to carefully examine the
terms of God’s call upon my life. I was ready to pay the price but I needed the
assurance God would fulfil His side of the bargain.
I HEARD FROM HEAVEN: THE MORRIS CERULLO TRANSFER
God answered my heart’s cry by bringing a Morris Cerullo School of Ministry
to Accra in 1983. I knew very little of Dr. Morris Cerullo at that time. At the
School of Ministry, Dr Cerullo ministered to the attendees via video recordings.
As he spoke and wept on the screen, I also wept for my powerlessness to save
this sinful world.
On the last day of the conference, Dr. Alex Ness an associate of Dr. Cerullo
anointed the ears, thumbs, and toes of all present. When I got back to my seat
and knelt down, I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit say to me, “My boy Charles,
I send you out as I sent Moses; go and I would put My words in your lips and
reach the world for Me”. I was shocked, confused and did not understand why
the Holy Spirit would talk to me that way. I knew God had called me to preach
but reaching the world for the Lord added another dimension to the call.
After the School Of Ministry I rushed to get a place to fast and pray. On the
third day of my fast, around 11:30am, after much weeping, praying, and
worshiping, I laid quietly on my face on the floor exhausted and then again I
heard the same voice of the Holy Spirit say: “My boy Charles, I give unto thee
POWER over demons and principalities, heal the sick, raise the dead, preach the
Kingdom”. I lifted my head and asked the Holy Spirit to repeat the message, and
the voice came again. I immediately asked God for a scripture since everything
had to be in line with the word of God. Immediately the Holy Spirit echoed Luke
9:1-2 and Luke 8:1 in that order.
‘Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and
authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the
kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.’ Luke 9:1-2
‘And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village,
preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve
were with him.’ Luke 8:1
I saw that the Holy Spirit embedded His commission in the re-echoing of
scripture to me, which is referred to as a Rhema word, “God’s specific word to a
specific person for a specific purpose”. After hearing that distinct voice of God, I
broke the fast that morning because my heart’s cry had been answered. I was
convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that I had heard from the Lord.
I realized that even though God was asking me to go preach and heal the sick,
I did not have any knowledge on how to do it. I had heard that there were men
God had used in miracles and healings in Ghana, but I was not privileged to
attend any of their meetings and there were none of their books or tapes of their
ministry to which I could avail myself. I therefore carefully studied Luke 8:1
again and the word in the verse began to have meaning. I understood that God
expected me to go around the cities and towns like the disciples did when they
followed Jesus to see how He healed the sick and cast out devils. I started to read
and study the gospels and Acts of the Apostles over and over again. I learnt the
principles of preaching and how to heal the sick from the Master and His
disciples as the gospels and Acts documented. I wanted every move I made to be
in line with what Jesus and the Apostles did.
From that day that anointing on Dr Cerullo to open up nations by the
undeniable power of God came upon me.
TURN THE SCHOOL OF MINISTRY INTO A MIRACLE SERVICE
Amazingly I have been privileged to serve with Dr Cerullo at his invitation to
many parts of the world. He held a West African School of Ministry in Labone,
Accra in 1996. There was a dinner for him and three of us men of God were
asked to share our testimony. During the dining time, each person was given five
minutes to share his story. When I shared my story about how Dr Cerullo’s
ministry had influenced me, something struck a cord between the two of us. At
the West African conference, Dr Cerullo was the only speaker in the evenings;
other speakers spoke in the mornings. On the fourth evening, Dr Cerullo was
invited to meet the president of Ghana so he had to miss the meeting that night.
The meeting was held at Labone Secondary School park, so I had gone to live
in a hotel close to the venue of the conference so that I could get easy access to
the meeting and enjoy all the meetings. I was in my hotel room getting ready to
go and receive word from the servant of God when I heard a knock on my door
at about 5pm. I opened the door and there was Dr Seth Ablorh (Dr Cerullo’s
Ghanaian Director). Dr Ablorh came to inform me that Dr Cerullo wanted me to
get ready and preach at the meeting in the night. He added that Dr Cerullo would
like me to turn the meeting into a miracle service. And one more thing, I was
instructed not to tell anyone about this arrangement.
I was both confused and flabbergasted. It was an honour to be called upon to
fill the shoes of Dr Cerullo, but that was a huge responsibility in front of 25,000
Christian leaders of all shades. I thought to myself, “This man has as his
speakers Pastor Ayo, Bishop Duncan Williams, Rev. Gary Whetstone, Bishop
Okonkwo, Dr Paul Trulin and Dr Peter Wagner, so why me who was not billed
to speak?” Secondly, I thought he had placed an impossible barrier for me
because Dr Cerullo had said the previous night that he didn’t come for a miracle
service but for a school of ministry. Here was I being asked to conduct a miracle
service. However, I had learnt to be ready in season and out of season, and at
every point in time I have at least three sermons ready in my spirit to preach
should an emergency arise and I am called upon. The evening came and the
meeting was underway. Dr Cerullo took the podium and introduced me as the
preacher for the night.
When I started preaching, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and instructed me to do
an altar call. I did not give a thought to the instruction because it sounded
ridiculous to me to make an altar call for pastors, leaders and church workers. I
said to myself, “These people did not need an altar call”. As I resisted the Holy
Spirit’s nudges, I realised that the anointing was lifting from me. When I
couldn’t resist any longer, I made the altar call and over 500 people came
forward to give their lives to Christ. I was shocked at the number that responded.
I continued and prayed for the sick and instant miracles took place: the blind
saw, cripples walked, the deaf heard, and all manner of diseases were healed.
After the meeting Dr Peter Wagner came and patted me on the back to say well
done.
ASSOCIATING TO THE NATIONS
The occurrences at the West African Conference catapulted the level of respect
people had for my ministry. They reasoned that, if Dr Cerullo could leave his
meeting for me to handle whilst he (Dr Cerullo) had guests speaking for him,
then he might have seen something in me. After this incident, Dr Cerullo and I
began to have a close relationship. From there on when Dr Cerullo had some
speaking engagements that he could not honour he asked me to step in for him.
He has featured me in a number of his meetings worldwide and in most of those
meetings, I would do the miracle meeting and he, the impartation. In some of the
meetings I would be given five minutes to speak, ten minutes or forty five
minutes or an hour depending on what the occasion was and the time available. I
will never forget the 2011 Morris Cerullo World Conference in Orlando Florida.
I was scheduled to speak on Wednesday but my wife and I got there Monday
night exhausted so we could rest for a day before the meeting. At midnight, Don
Mandell his International Director, knocked on my door and said Papa as we call
him (Dr Cerullo) had asked if I could be the first speaker Tuesday morning
because one of the speakers had been held back by the snow. I just said “Yes”
and got ready for the meeting because as a father his wish or suggestion is my
command. When I got to the hall in a discussion with one American he said
“Miracles don’t happen in America, it does where you guys come from the
Mission field because we have so many doctors here which you don’t have.”
Well, that morning 23 people who came with walking aids got up and walked
and gave me their sticks at the command of faith when I said, “If you want to,
you can walk to me now.” As sons of Dr Cerullo when we speak for him, we
don’t take an honorarium, we pay our hotel bills and air tickets but we do it
gladly knowing how we are partakers of his grace. By association with him, I
have so much exposure and open doors. I am proud to have been privileged to
serve beside one of God’s five star generals. A man regarded by many as the
equivalent of the United Nations Secretary General. He is regarded as the man
who has raised, face to face and through his other outlets, probably more
nationals (pastors, politicians, lawyers, doctors, engineers, farmers, house wives
etc.,) and given them opportunities on his platform all over the world to rise up
and take the proof producing anointing to be God’s instruments than any other
person who ever lived.
THE BROTHER AGBOZO FACTOR
After such a palpable experience of the presence of God, I began to see some
results in my ministry. I started a church at Mangoase, Teshie, Accra called
Teshie Praise Assembly. I also used to attend all-night prayer meetings with the
Ghana Evangelical Society (GES). In April 1984, Brother Enoch Agbozo the
leader of GES, and an evangelist who held crusades all around the nation, sent to
tell me that he was sending out some missionaries into the hinterlands of Ghana
and whilst he prayed God said I was one of them. In May 1984, he ordained
twelve of us missionaries and sent us into the hinterlands to preach anywhere
that was available to us. We were sent in batches of twos and threes. Our
transportation was paid to get us to the first town. We were then left on our own
to preach from town to town as the Holy Spirit led us. We depended on God for
our food and place of abode since no prior arrangement was made for anyone to
host us.
I saw many people healed and delivered from the powers of darkness. They
came forward and accepted Christ as their personal saviour and Lord in their
numbers. There was a man who had passed out and was considered dead; he was
brought back to life when I called back the man’s spirit into his body. Many
tangible miracles made it obvious to me that God was at work. This particular
journey started from Nsawam, Aburi, Adukrom, to Konongo, Kuntanase around
Lake Bosomtwi, Nkawie and Kwahu Pepease.
On our next journey, I found myself at Battor Aveyime in the Volta Region.
After preaching, I began to lay hands on the sick and when I got to the sixth
person in the healing line, the first person began to shout, “I am healed, I am
healed”. The woman who shouted about her healing had a swollen paralysis and
instantly she became normal. The second person also said she had stiff fingers
which she could not bend but could move them instantly after she was prayed
for. The presence of God was felt and the people celebrated the goodness of the
Lord for the miracles that had taken place in their midst. This particular journey
took me from Battor to Sogakope, to Kete Krachi, to Dambai, to Kpando and Ho
all in the Volta Region of Ghana. In all these places there were mighty
demonstrations of power.
Whilst on these two major missions by December 1984, I was convinced God
wanted me to go out and hold crusades. Earlier on I had told Brother Agbozo
that I wanted to hold crusades under his umbrella and plant churches for GES
but he said God had not called him to do that. I therefore resigned from GES and
asked the leader to pray for me. Before the prayer, Brother Agbozo said that
since he began GES, I was the first person to leave and had asked for prayer and
left without causing trouble. Everyone who left before then had fought with him.
I did not see myself in competition with Brother Agbozo but saw him as a leader
ahead of me. I also understood that we were all working in the same vineyard
and towards the same goal: the salvation of the world. I also carried his
anointing to go from place to place and his prayer mantle. It was at GES I learnt
to pray my first three hours non-stop prayer. Before I left there I could pray on
my own more than 10 hours non-stop.
A WATCHMAN TO THE NATION
There is an anointing that was on Brother Enoch, watchman to the nation. In
1983 in the early days of the 31st December 1981 Revolution you dared not say
anything against the ruling government. If you did you were arrested and ended
up in the military guardroom or cell. Many pastors had their heads shaved and
put behind these cells. Brother Enoch will lambast the government whilst
soldiers with guns stood by and no one dared lay hands on him. One day as he
spoke against the government on an issue and everybody’s blood run cold, I
sensed the Lord telling me that I had been set-aside as a watchman for the nation
and if I remained faithful I would be a watchman to the nations.
Later on whilst at the All Nations For Christ Bible Institute in Benin City,
Nigeria in 1986, the government gave an order that no one should hold an open-
air crusade anymore. The following month Archbishop Idahosa organized a
crusade in Onitsha, Nigeria, a truckload of soldiers were dispatched to arrest him
whilst he preached. I went as part of the crusade team, I watched as these
soldiers raised their hands to accept Christ with their guns as he preached instead
of arresting him. As I watched that day the Lord ministered to me, “You are a
watchman like this.”
THE MOUNTAIN WEARING THE SACK
My first encounter with the watchman anointing on my life was in 1997 when
Professor Evans Atta Mills was Vice President. He invited me to pray with him
in the Osu Castle, then the seat of government on national issues. (I used to pray
with him at his residence). When I got there in the presence of a number of
people including Rev. Julius Ankomah, Ambassador Kugblenu etc., he asked
that we make it a weekly affair. I said to him outright that I did not want to be
accused of partisanship so I would prefer his house and he agreed. Ten minutes
into prayer, I had a vision and in it, there was a mountain covered with a jute
sack like its clothing and about 20% of the top had been ripped off. Then the
Holy Spirit echoed to me this represents your nation, “your prayers and that of
the saints had ripped it to that level.” I therefore told them at the end of the
prayer time that we will continue to pray there weekly. We did pray regularly
once a week and when there were national crises more days.
There used to undertake ritual sacrifices of cows being slaughtered every year
in the castle. That year when the traditionalists came to slaughter the cow they
were chased by bees and so could not do it. They claimed it was their perfume
that attracted the bees. The following year a similar thing happened. For the four
years we prayed there they could not do the ritual sacrifice.
My second encounter with the watchman anointing was when I was invited to
pray for the nation at the National Emancipation Day in 1998. The night before
the meeting I sensed the Holy Spirit indicating to me to pray for the President
publicly. I argued in my heart saying, there is no precedent in the nation for
anyone praying for Flight Lieutenant Rawlings publicly. He could embarrass you
and worse of all you dared not. I prayed through the night to be sure if that was
the right thing to do. The following morning, when I was called upon to pray for
the nation, I took the microphone and said “Mr. President, can you please come
forward to the platform we are going to lay hands on you to pray for you”. The
whole room went quiet and you could hear a pin drop. His Excellency Jerry
Rawlings stepped out and walked to the platform and I asked the Bishops and
head of Churches to come forward and we laid hands on him.
REMEMBER THOU ART BUT A MAN
The anointing of the watchman makes you bold and not afraid of faces. I will
never forget in 1998 when an American international evangelist came to town
and I was amongst the team that went with him to see the President. After our
greetings, the Bishops and senior pastors all sang the praises of the president. I
was quiet when suddenly Mr. Rawlings said “Starlet (how we refer to our junior
national team) Bishop, say something”. Suddenly, I sensed the anointing flow
down my body and I said “Mr President, thank God for what He has used you to
achieve. However, do not allow your achievements to make you proud and
forget it is God who set you here. Nebuchadnezzar, built the hanging gardens
and many great things and he stood and beat his chest and said ‘This is great
Babylon built by my hands.’ Immediately God turned him into an animal till he
had learnt that the most high rules in the affairs of men and gives it to whom He
will. Also King Herod was an orator and one day after speaking so eloquently
his hearers shouted ‘This is not the voice of a man but a god’. Immediately an
angel caused worms to eat him alive. Mr. President, you cannot stop the people
from praising you, but you can stop yourself from accepting their praise and
allowing it to get into your heard.” You could hear a feather fall, in those days
everything leaving the castle was censored. That evening during the news all that
I said in the room,that was what was highlighted.
SPEAK, MR KUFUOR, SPEAK
31st December 2008 was a very charged day in Ghana. We had had
presidential elections, which got the party in power losing the election to the
opposition. From the Christmas nobody could even enjoy the festivities. 28th
December was the second round of voting, by the following day the whole
results were not coming out. People had closed their shops, no one could go out,
there was heavy police and military presence. With this background anything at
all could happen. As a nation we were sitting on a time bomb ready to explode
into violence. I had to address the whole nation at our all night service.
This was an excerpt “ … This election has seen bits of violence in some
places. There was suspicion that some politicians had stuffed election boxes with
already thumb printed ballot papers making some supporters profiling people
that they had ballot papers in their home thereby tarnishing their image. Some
journalists and some party agents had been beaten and some equipment of
journalists destroyed. In the midst of all this the precious voice of our president
Mr. Agyekum Kufuor has not been heard to speak to any of these issues to
assure us of calm. As commander in chief we expect you to say something to
soothe the heart of Ghanaians. If he does not know that there is an uneasy calm
that has engulfed this nation, then as a pastor of multiplied thousands in our
church and across this nation, then I am informing our father that there is an
unholy calm in this nation. The calm is so unholy that yesterday shops and banks
closed before noon, when people were asked they said they feared the eruption
of violence. Tonight I don’t want to be politically correct and bury my head in
the sand as an ostrich as if nothing is happening in the midst of all these things.
We need an assurance of peace and security as citizens of this law-abiding
nation. Christmas when we have to shop and go out we cannot go out and cannot
even eat our fowls and goats. Why? Because of one election which is not our
first. Why should the few politicians hold us to ransom? I speak like an apostolic
prophet to the nations. Put aside everyone your political inclinations and let us
preserve this nation. I am speaking as an elder and a watchman who sits at the
gate of this city and I am saying all is not well but we can change it. We are
going to pray for our president to say something. Our father, the president of the
nation, should say something even if it is bad. Until January 7th President
Kufour is the legitimate president of this nation. Within those seven days he
should leave a testimony. There are leaders who have gone down in history in
disgrace. We will also pray for the two political leaders. One should be able to
accept defeat and the winner should unite this nation…” My sermon was aired
on all the radio stations and a few hours later the president boldly came out to
assure the nation.”
People said I should flee from the country, not sleep in my house etc., but I felt
more peace after saying the things I said than before. The watchman’s anointing
is such that it is like fire in your bones. Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said, I will not
make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in
mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with
forbearing, and I could not stay.
Since that day many officers in the military, police, politicians etc., meet me
and say “Bishop, do you know you saved this nation that night?”
The watchman sees ahead of the nation, warns the nation like a watch dog.
Isaiah 56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb
dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. In the days we
live in we need watchmen who are not afraid of what will happen to them but to
declare what God is saying and watch out for their communities. Receive the
watchman’s anointing in Jesus name. May you be as bold as a lion and not turn
away for any.
President J. A. Kufour is the man who had earlier, on July 6,2007, awarded me
a Member of the Order of the Volta (one of the highest national honours), for
outstanding achievements and helping to champion African Excellence as a
religious leader at the Accra International Conference Centre. This was before an
audience made up of very eminent persons including ministers, members of
parliament, members of the diplomatic corps, religious and traditional leaders,
corporate executives, veteran politicians and officers and men of the security
service.
WATCHMAN TO THE NATIONS
In November 2000, I was invited to preach and help pray for the new President
of La Côte D’Ivoire in his inaugural thanksgiving service. I had never met him
before this time. I returned from my Sogakope, Ghana miracle campaign at
11:00pm to meet Apostle Kore, a man I never met before sitting in my house
waiting to inform me that the new president wants me to go to Abidjan the
following day and preach at his thanksgiving service. My initial reaction was I
was not ready to go, however, I could not sleep all night. I prayed and sensed
God was telling me the destiny of a nation was at stake. What made matters
worst was God started putting a message of warning in my heart. I struggled
because thanksgiving should be a season of celebration. The nation at this point
was in turmoil. A year earlier, the military under General Guei had overthrown
the constitutionally elected government headed by Mr. Konan Bedie. The
Supreme Court under Mr. Bedie had declared Mr. Alhassan Outara (the former
Prime Minister to the first president, the late Mr. Houphet Boigny) as a non-
citizen of the country. General Guei promised to lead the nation into an election,
which he did and also contested as a presidential candidate. General Guei lost
the election to Laurent Gbagbo but refused to step down. The electorate
therefore took to the streets and demanded Mr. Gbagbo be installed president.
The supporters of General Guei, Alhassan Outara and Laurent Gbagbo began to
stir the nation into unrest. Mr. Gbagbo was installed President and two weeks
later, I was invited to this inaugural thanksgiving service. I preached and
instructed the new political leaders of that country on what to do to secure
righteousness and honesty for the nation and also exhorted the believers to see
their role in praying to reconcile the nation. After the thanksgiving some of the
clergy in town said I came as a foreigner to insult them etc. Many of the political
leaders felt the message was too bold. Years later everything I said came to pass
exactly as God used me to warn them.

THE IDAHOSA FACTOR – COMMANDING POWER

The late Archbishop Benson Idahosa was known as the apostle of signs and
wonders. He raised many dead people and had commanding power when it came
to the sick. In Harare, 1986 Fire Conference organized by evangelist Reinhard
Bonnke, Idahosa was given the title spiritual bulldozer. It happened that at the
evening crusade on the night he preached, he stood at the cripples section and
commanded the cripples to walk in Jesus name. Some of them got up and fell
and got up and fell until suddenly some began to walk. I was privileged to sit
under this great man of God in 1986 for eleven months. The commanding power
anointing rubbed off on me such that I am able to command to be healed and
they do.

THE ANOINTING TO MAKE PEOPLE RICH

On the 15th June 1985 the Lord ministered to me that “You are ordained to
prosperity; for riches is a gift and in the package of the atonement 2 Cor. 8:9 and
just because you have left all and followed Me, you shall receive manifold in
this life even to the hundredfold Matt 19:29, Luke 18:29, 30”.
On 16th July 1985 the Lord said to me “My boy Charles, as you speak the
demons will flee, the cripples would walk … I have chosen you in your
weakness to prove my strength in you, as I was with Moses, Elijah, McPherson,
Wigglesworth, Osborn and the Roberts so am I with you … I am determined to
use you to the uttermost parts of the earth, where there is no door I would make
one for you, just trust in Me. Forget about your finances, for the earth is mine
and all that is therein…”
On 5th January 1986 the Lord said to me “… if you shall take heed to yourself
to observe to do all that I have commanded you, you shall have no lack for I
have purposed to bless you and I would bless you mightily. But remember all I
give is for the benefit of others, your chairs, your house, your food and all the
property I give you . It is that you will use it to the benefit of others. I am going
to give into your hands houses, menservants and maidservants, cattle and sheep,
goats and fowls of the air, lands and silver with gold. It is mine to give and it is
mine to take away and I have decided to give to you that there be not room
enough to contain it…”
Whilst in Bible School in Benin I was privileged to speak for Rev. David
Oyedepo (now Bishop). On a particular day, I was to help him ordain Rev Fred
Addo when he said “God wants us to ordain Agyinasare back to Ghana as an
apostle”. So he ordained me an apostle. You know Bishop Oyedepo to be an
Apostle of Prosperity to make God’s people rich. So the anointing to make
people rich also rubbed off on me mightily.

THE SIMPLICITY MANTLE

Whilst ministering for Bishop Oyedepo in 1986, Pastor Adeboye ministered in
that convention and I was privileged to be introduced to him. He asked that
when returning to Ghana I should stop over to visit with him in Lagos. When
returning from Bible School in December 1986 I stopped over at his place and
he housed me in his residence for two nights and I was privileged to ask him
questions. I was privileged to have him lay hands on me and to be allowed to
pray for the sick at his crusade which he was holding at the indoor stadium in
Lagos. The greatest thing I coveted from him was his simplicity. Now people
testify that simplicity “smells” on me.
THE CHURCH GROWTH IMPARTATION: YONGGI CHO
In 1989 a ministry in the USA that sent pastors and churches Christian
materials called ‘Hands For Christ’ sent me a small box of free Christian books
and audio cassettes. On one of the series of 12 audio cassettes was Dr Yonggi
Cho’s(pastor of the largest single church in the world of about 500,000 members
then) Church Growth series which had titles like Church Growth and My
Message, Prayer Life, Cell Meeting, Growth Through Visions and Dreams etc.
These tapes taught me how to behave after Sunday with my wife. The fact of the
four most important things for church growth were Prayer, Good Preaching, Cell
System, Good Administration in order of priorities. I wore those tapes by
listening to them. I discovered that church growth happens on the inside of the
man of God before it shows outside. In that 1989 I received that impartation for
church growth from Dr. Cho without having met him. It was later in the year
2000 that I went to South Korea to see for myself what Dr Cho was doing and to
have audience with him. I wanted to go to Seoul to see what was happening so I
applied to the Yoido church that he pastored and they said I could not come till
there was a church growth conference. However, I wanted to go there when there
was no organized meeting. I therefore went to the Embassy in Accra and when I
got there the Ghanaian receptionist went and informed the consular that a “very
important” figure wanted a visa to go to South Korea with his associate. They
just said to pick up the visa the next day. When we arrived in Seoul, South Korea
we went straight away from the airport into the Wednesday teaching service. The
following day I went to his office to see his secretary if I could see the man of
God. She said it was impossible because there are people who have
appointments and it is in two years time before he had space. I left my card with
her and my hotel room number with a copy of my book “It is Miracle Time”.
The following morning I got a call from the secretary saying that Dr. Cho will
meet with me in two hours time. When we got to his office his secretary said I
had only five minutes. When I met Dr Cho we talked for over fifteen minutes, he
asked about Ghana, Bishop Dag and I told him what great things his son (Dag)
had been doing. I also asked that we had been expecting him in Ghana (his
pastor at prayer mountain had told me the previous day how Bishop Dag had
been trying to invite him but said Dr Cho needed an independent confirmation
that Ghana was ready for him). I was glad therefore that not long after that he
came to visit Ghana and Bishop Dag. After almost twenty minutes I asked Dr
Cho to pray for us so we could allow him to fulfill his busy schedule. What a
refreshing that visit was to me.

RICHARD HALL’S COAT – THE DEAF AND DUMB UNCTION

In 1992, I had the privilege of visiting the United States of America for the
first time and got into a meeting organized by Richard Hall, a great man of God,
in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He was 84 years old then and was one of the people
who pioneered the healing revival in America. It is said that this healing revival
started in 1944 and ended in 1958. After this came the charismatic renewal.
Richard Hall often organized a program where people from all walks of life
attended and he ministered to them. He was one of the men of God at the time
that had the anointing for healing those who were deaf and dumb. This man of
God knew how to operate under the anointing. He knew how to minister under
the anointing and not how to minister by faith. A lot of the pioneer Pentecostals
only knew how to minister under the anointing.
On 29th June 1992 at 11:15pm at the convention in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
during the ministration, the anointing fell upon Richard Hall and all the deaf and
dumb he prayed for were healed. I had gone into that meeting to celebrate the
Lord. Suddenly, he walked up to me and said, “Young man, come here. “You
would probably carry on this work after I am gone” He then removed his jacket
and put it on me and suddenly I felt something all over me. He then knelt down
and made me lay hands on him. I was in a healing ministry already but from that
day, the deaf and dumb are healed in my meetings with ease.
As you read this book, I ask God that the anointing upon my life will rest upon
you and give you victories all the days of your life. On the 2nd July 1992
another minister at the convention said to me “God would take you to the nations
to share His word and you shall leave a blaze of fire behind you, money to fly
there would be no problem. It would not be by your efforts”
On 4th July 1992 at the last day of the convention, I was ushered to sit in an
obscure section of the auditorium, probably, not to catch the preacher’s eye
again. A lot of people had worked with him all this while but they had not
received this anointing and as human as we are, envy sets in. I was still in the
corner of the auditorium and had knelt down praising and worshipping God
when Richard Hall walked to the corner and said, “Young man, come to the
platform. Son you are going to stir your vicinity and nations. The Lord told me
to tell you that you have a greater anointing than I have only stir that anointing.”
He then asked me to take the microphone and continue from where he had
stopped. When I mounted the platform, the anointing was greatly upon me and
many miracles happened to the glory of God.
I want you to know that it does not really matter where people maneuver to
place you. When the time of the Lord comes, He will bring you out of obscurity
to the limelight so that His glory shall be seen upon your life. Arise and shine for
your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
Since that encounter, the easiest miracle in my meetings is the healing of deaf
mutes.
 CHAPTER SEVEN

MEANS OF TRANSFERRING THE

ANOINTING
TRANSFERENCE THROUGH THINGS
The anointing can also be transferred through objects such as clothes etc. In
1985 after our ten-day miracle crusade at Akim Oda, I left for Awisa all in the
Eastern Region of Ghana for a crusade. Whilst there, news reached me that
many sick people including the lame who heard of the manifestation of the
power of God at the CMB park went there to be shown where I stood to pray for
the sick. When they got there they touched the spot and touched their ailment
and they were instantly healed. The name Brother Charles therefore became a
household name in the place. This gives credence to what is written about the
Apostle Paul.
Acts 19:11 ‘Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that
even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the
diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. And God wrought special
miracles by the hand of Paul.’
In the Philippines, God, by His bountiful grace, has opened a great door for us,
(my son Bishop Maxwell Hagan and his wife Pastor Rhea). They have
established an institute known as ‘Agyinasare Leadership Institute’, which is
duly recognized by the government of the Philippines. They have gone ahead to
give accreditation to make it a university college in the Philippines.
At this Institute, my book, Good Manners and Etiquette, has been adopted as
one of their core books for training officers in the Police Service. The testimony
is given of a woman whose daughter died and was duly certified by the doctor as
dead. She is reported to have asked that they give her one hour to be with her
daughter. She had carried a DVD player with my miracle footage on it. By faith
she played it for 40-45 minutes and the miracle happened: the daughter sneezed
and came back to life!
I want you to lay your hand on this page as a point of contact for you to
receive this anointing. Bishop Lawrence Ayerewaba (a spiritual son and an
associate evangelist) has been with me to a number of my meetings and is
healing the sick and doing exploits. Apostle Sony Aiyemo (a spiritual son and an
associate evangelist) had been experiencing a few manifestations here and there,
but when we started fellowshipping, he received a greater impartation and is
healing the sick and casting out devils exactly like I am doing. Rev. Mrs Vivian
Agyinasare, my dear wife, by association, is raising cripples, causing the blind to
see, and manifesting the gifts of the Spirit. There are many people – spiritual
sons, spiritual daughters, and others – who have received a transfer of this same
anointing all over the world at places where I have ministered. Others have
received the anointing as they encountered my tapes or teaching materials. These
people are doing great exploits in the name of Jesus. From now, you are one of
such people.
Every good thing you want in life is a spirit someone carries and you can have
them such as prosperity, favour, good marriage, wisdom etc.
Prosperity is a spirit. There are people who carry the grace to prosper. Isaac
received the blessings / transferred from his father.
‘Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold:
and the LORD blessed him.’ Genesis 26:12
Marriage, there are people whose marriage hit the rocks because of a spirit
transferred into their lives. Generational anti-marital spirits have prevented
marriages from working etc.
Wisdom Deut. 34:9 ‘And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of
wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel
hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.’
Prov. 13:20 ‘He that walketh with wise men shall be wise...’
2 Kings 13:20 ‘Then Elisha died, and they buried him. And the raiding bands
from Moab invaded the land in the spring of the year. So it was, as they were
burying a man, that suddenly they spied a band of raiders; and they put the man
in the tomb of Elisha; and when the man was let down and touched the bones of
Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet.’
According to this scripture, Elisha had long been dead and buried in a
sepulcher. A young man died and as they carried him to his place of eternal rest,
they heard that their enemies, who were the Moabites, had come to attack them.
In their haste to get away from trouble which they saw looming, they threw him
in the nearest tomb which happened to be that of Elisha’s. He got back to life
when his body touched the bones of Elisha. Beloved, the God we serve has not
changed. If the bones of a dead prophet could raise a dead man, then by the
Spirit of the Lord upon my life, whatever must change in your life and that of
your children be changed now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
That same anointing manifested in our Maiduguri, Northern Nigeria, Miracle,
Healing, Signs and Wonders Festival that saw over 300,000 people on the last
night. According to Rev. Mohammed Mshiela who was the crusade coordinator,
“After the festival, the elders of the city requested that the platform constructed
for Bishop Agyinasare to stand on at the Ramat Square should not be dismantled
immediately. They said there were many of the villagers who were just hearing
about the meetings, when they got there and touched the platform they were
healed from various ailments”
It is imperative that you believe that the Lord is always with you, and those
that be for you are greater than those against you. Elisha’s servant, Gehazi, was
afraid of an attack against him and his master and the prophet of God prayed that
his servant’s eyes be opened for him to see that the Lord was for them.
‘Therefore the king of Syria sent horses and chariots and a great army there,
and they came by night and surrounded the city. And when the servant of the
man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city
with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What
shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more
than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray,
open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young
man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of
fire all around Elisha.’ 2 Kings 6:6-21
As Elisha prayed for God to open his servant’s eyes, so do I pray that God will
open your eyes for you to see His goodness, love and protection upon your life.
This scripture should tell you that a lot of things happen in the spiritual realm
which we do not see. There are angels of God dispatched on your behalf to
protect you against the wiles of the enemy and this is the reason why the Bible
keeps telling us, ‘Do not be afraid’. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in
the world. It does not matter what spirit is fighting against you, God is with you
and He will guide you by His Spirit so that you will never lose any spiritual
warfare. By your God, you will run through every troop of the enemy and leap
over every wall because the angels of God will war for you.
 CHAPTER EIGHT

BARRIERS TO RECEIVING THE

ANOINTING
You can come so close to an anointing and not receive it.
Elisha had received the spirit of Elijah but even though Elisha had a follower,
his follower Gehazi never received the spirit of Elisha. In fact, he disqualified
himself from receiving the anointing from his master Elisha. Below is his story:
‘But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master
hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he
brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after
him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now
there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the
prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound
two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them
upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.
And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed
them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence
comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.
And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned
again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive
garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants,
and maidservants?
The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for
ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.’ 2 Kings 5:20-
27
From the example of Gehazi there are factors why people cannot receive.
1. Wrong focus - wanting natural things rather than the anointing. The tendency
 to be enticed by the natural things a man of God has is very high even to the
extent that it could make one lose focus. One can’t focus on receiving the
grace on the man of God and at the same time become envious of his
possessions.
2. Familiarity - when people stay around a man of God for so long they become
familiar. Familiarity will interfere with your desire. It will make you lose sight
of the spectacular and thereby hinder you from going for it. Familiarity sets in
when you fail to see the grace of God at work in the man.
3. Offenses – when you are offended with your pastor, church members, and
everybody. This spirit cuts you off from the original place God has planted you
and you could also be cut off spiritually to the extent that you are offended
with the set man or woman that God intends to impart your life with. It’s
difficult or impossible to receive from a person against whom you have an
offense.
Having said that, it is important to note the following:
a. It’s Easier To Catch A Wrong Spirit Than A Good One. It takes a lot of
discipline, commitment, consistency and perseverance amongst others to
receive a transfer of a good spirit from someone. This is proven by the story
of Elijah and Elisha. Whereas it’s not the same to be imparted negatively.
Indeed 1 Peter 5:8 ‘Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as
a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:’ The devil is
already seeking for someone to devour. All it takes for an evil spirit to posses
a person is the person’s availability.
b. It Takes Aggressiveness To Attract A Good Spirit.
Elijah told his servant who was yearning for an impartation that if you see me
go, in 2 Kings 2 Elisha saw his master being taken away and shouted, My father,
my Father.... And he tore his clothes.’
This is a clear act of desperation and aggression. Today you cannot receive
what is on a man of God without this ingredient Matt. 11:12 ‘And from the days
of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the
violent take it by force.’
To receive something you need so much one must be ready to do what he/she
has not done before. Attitude therefore is everything in attracting a good spirit.
 CONCLUSION
Transference of spirits is a real phenomenon which is still happening today.
As we prepare ourselves we should get ready to receive the transference of the
many mantles God is dropping today through the many anointed ministries. This
transference is happening through various ways:
1. Through the sovereign act of God like He took of the spirit upon Moses and
placed it on the seventy elders Num. 11:25 ‘And the LORD came down in a
cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave
it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon
them, they prophesied, and did not cease.’
2. By divine commission as Jesus commissioned His disciples when He said in
John 20:21 ‘As the Father sent me so send I you.’
3. Through association like it was said about Jesus and His disciples in Acts 4:13
‘Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they
were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of
them, that they had been with Jesus.’
4. Through a strong desire of the anointing as Elisha desired and asked for a
double portion of the spirit upon Elijah 2 Kings 2:9 ‘And it came to pass, when
they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee,
before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double
portion of thy spirit be upon me.’
5. By observation, preaching what is preached, and imitation 2 Tim. 2:2 ‘And the
things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit
thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.’
6. By impartation as Paul said in Rom. 1:11 ‘For I long to see you, that I may
impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;’
7. By the laying on of hands Deut. 34:9 ‘And Joshua the son of Nun was full of
the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children
of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.’
I pray to God that from today no evil spirit will be transferred to you; but
rather you will be a constant recipient of the anointing and every good spirit that
comes from God!

 YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!
Are you born again? Have your sins been forgiven? Do you have eternal life?
Are you saved? Will you spend eternity with God when you die?
If your answer to any of these questions is “No”, then you can experience very
little or nothing of what this book talks about.
But if you want to be saved, take note of the following:

1. That you are a sinner – God’s word tells us that “All have sinned, and
come short of the glory of God”Romans 3:23 , and that “There is none
righteous, no, not one”Romans 3:10 . That means that, no matter how good you
and I think we are “All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags”Isaiah 64:6 . In
the eyes of God you are a sinner!”
2. That the consequence of sin is death – because God is so pure, holy, and
just, He must punish our sinfulness, because “The wages of sin is
death”Romans 6:23 . All sinful men have to die – not just a physical death, but
also a spiritual one, because “Your iniquities have separated between you
and your God”Isaiah 59:2
3. That God loves you so much that He sent Jesus Christ to die for your sins
– in spite of our sinfulness, even “while we were still sinners, Christ died
for us”Romans 5:8 . In fact, Jesus was “wounded for our transgressions,
bruised for our iniquities” and the LORD “laid on him the iniquity of us
all”Isaiah 53:5-6 . Jesus took your place and took the punishment of sin on
your behalf.
4. That God raised Jesus from the dead – when Jesus died for you, He was
buried. But because God accepted His sacrifice of sin on your behalf, He
“raised Him from the dead”Romans 10:9 . Because He lives, you can also have
life!
5. That you must believe in Jesus Christ and confess Him to be saved – now
you must believe in your heart that Christ died and was raised for you, and
you must confess Him with your mouth Romans 10:9 . That is the only way
you can be saved.

Do you believe? Will you accept Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour of your
life? If so, pray this prayer after me:
 Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I know I cannot save myself. I believe
Jesus died and was raised for me. Forgive me all my sins. Wash me with the
blood of Jesus. Make my life a testimony to those who know me. In Jesus’
name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, then you just got born again. All your sins are
forgiven, and you can now have a relationship with God! God has promised,
“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”. That is His word, so
you are saved!
But that is just the first step. Now that you are born again, you must grow
spiritually and in the things of God; so I would encourage you to find a Bible-
believing church or join any of our Perez Chapel International churches.
I would like to stay in touch with you and know how you are doing in your
walk with God. I would also like to hear your testimony of how my ministry
through this medium might have blessed you. You can reach me at:

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bishop Charles Agyinasare is the presiding bishop of Perez Chapel
International and several associate independent churches. He is the senior pastor
at the Perez Dome, Accra, Ghana, reputed to be the largest auditorium in Ghana.
Regarded as one of the national Christian leaders in Ghana, Dr Agyinasare has
been honoured by the nation as a Member of the Order of the Volta, for
Championing African Excellence.
Charles is also a frontier evangelist and an apostle to the nations.
He had a divine encounter in 1983 when he heard the audible voice of God
twice in four days commission him saying, “My boy Charles, I send you out as I
sent Moses; go, and I will put My words on your lips, and reach the world for
Me,” and “I give unto you power over demons and principalities; heal the sick,
raise the dead, preach the kingdom.”
Since then, he has shared the whole counsel of God in over eighty-three (83)
nations of the world, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom,
Germany, France, Italy, Ukraine, Israel, Japan, India, the Islamic Republic of
Pakistan, the Islamic Kingdom of Bahrain, Burkina Faso, and many other
countries in Africa. His gospel campaigns have recorded over 300,000 people in
a single meeting.
Bishop Agyinasare has a mandate to lead God’s people into their breakthrough
by fully preaching the kingdom of God. His message encompasses Holiness,
Prayer, Faith, Prosperity, Leadership & Excellence, Family life, Last days, and a
very prominent demonstration of the Holy Spirit and His gifts. Through his
teaching and preaching many people who once were sick, alcoholics, and drug
addicts have been set free in his meetings. Many have also been raised from
nobodies to somebodies.
Dr Morris Cerullo has this to say about him: “It is very rare in the calling of
God to see the Apostolic, Evangelistic, Prophetical, Pastoral and Teaching call
all manifest through one ministry. But here in Bishop Agyinasare’s calling we
see the 5-fold ministry.”
Dr Agyinasare is also a Christian scholar, holding a PhD in the Philosophy of
Theology from the Vision International University in the USA; and has even
pursued an LLB at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public
Administration. He is also the Founder and President of the Perez Ministerial
College as well as the several Miracle Academy Schools. He is also the
Chairman of the board of FirsTrust Savings and Loans (a recognised Financial
Institution, Ghana).
Bishop also reaches the world through his over 40 life-changing books; and his
impact and presence are felt across the globe through Precious TV, the television
channel he founded in 2013.
He is married to Rev Mrs Vivian Sena Agyinasare, the co-founder of Perez
Chapel International, and they have three adult children and one adopted
daughter: Pastor Dr Selaise Esar Agyinasare, Pastor Francis Nyamekye
Agyinasare, Charlene Sena Agyinasare, and Clementina Quarshie.
