There is an hunger and a deep cry within me to address within you Christian Brothers & Sisters this issue that if is not properly taken care of or if not properly handled it may cause controversial congestion in our midst and which will be menacing and threatening to the body of Christ to give batons and gun to armies that are not well trained! (I speak in parables).
I felt this great burden to address the church about something missing. In my view, it seems only few gets the PROCESS while others are after the RESULT (Power).
We must not miss it! I suggest that there is a need for us to “Break up our fallow ground, and sow not among thorns(Jer 4:3)” We must not build on this unstable and destroyed foundation, can we try to locate the ancient path?. I have found out in my daily dealings with Him that is not everyone that are ready to pay the price for greatness they rather spend time praying for greatness while not trusting the process whole-heartedly. Follow me!
Trust the process! It will be hazardous if Power is handed over to a man who his/her hunger has NOT been righteousness. Things are in process, you don’t just have them or else you tends to cause more harm on yourself and destroy those looking up to you. The reason why men must be very careful of IREDEEMABLE ERRORS is that always remember that destinies are attached to yours. Some errors can be corrected while some may be difficult to correct. Rather, errors can be prevented! Always note that until you rise, some people won’t rise; it’s a mandate “1 Timothy 4:16 Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.” Hence, you must trust the process so that you won’t give room for others to trust Babylon and be one of its breeds and offspring. We must not keep encouraging Baal!
Let’s touch the business, Power is a RESULT for your Righteousness and dedicated Services. Power is never what you ought to pray for, why? Go with me… Let’s look at this; If a man keeps praying for Power, note that it’s configured that the man will be DESTROYED with no traces that he/she ever existed because there is no enough preparation for the Power He prayed for!
An illustration… If Mr A is praying for Rain but checking the Drainage and gutters around him and noticed they are all blocked or no traces of a gutter or Drainage.. Know that when the Lord finally graced the prayer and sends the rain, firstly it will cause flood and it will cause Total Destruction of lives and Property.
Same is in the case of Power; You must be prepared “in season and out of season” to wait/stay and to be a benefactor of His agenda in blessing yielded vessels; note, YIELDED VESSEL. Men that wants power must learn to be like Mary and not Martha who was cumbered with so many activities. Ask Mary… Luke 10:38-42
“Hosea 10:12 Sow righteousness for yourselves…” Until our hunger and burden is Righteousness (because what righteousness will teach you is the Original ACT OF THE APOSTLES and not the act of Rebellion) which will birth Power because you will be trained and nurtured in growth that teaches and sustains yielded vessel not to misuse Power. It can be misused! don’t be a victim, don’t corrupt the Power by the desires and cravings of the Flesh. Flesh must be buried because it is ANTI-POWER ingredient for yielded vessels.
Power is one of the agenda of God for man to reward his/her dedication and to make His kingdom be well established through yielded vessel with ease, without struggling!
Don’t waste time Praying or aiming Power! Power can be gotten in place or while men positioned themselves by STAYING, The Scripture; “Daniel 11:32 but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do EXPLOITS” The fundamental key or the Capsule for this treatment (Power) is STAYING. So, it is not hidden, He has said and promised only VESSELS that YIELD Power as a configured statement for Staying!
Many things that Christ is doing this season is done through His Power in men! Immediately God ordains and give YIELDED VESSEL an assignment, He gives them Power. The works/ miracles that Jesus does from time to time was as a result of His dedication to God and full desire to stay; Study and Pray (Mathew 15:29; 13:1 Mark 1:35)
While Jesus gave the great commission… He did not stopped there! He handed over to those who will yield to the Commission Power, (Mark 16:15 - 18; And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well) an evidence that He is strongly with them and that this great assignment may be carried out with ease and that many may believe in the work that Christ do through them (John 4:48)
Hmmmm… a lot to say! But let me try and stop here….
Has I always say, THERE IS NO SHORTAGE IN HIS SUPPLY if only we can find yielding and staying vessels. The Scripture; “Mathew 14:12 …the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” His promises are sure and Steadfast!
Be reminded that; We have an anchor that keeps the soul Steadfast and sure while the billows roll, Fastened to the Rock which cannot move, Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love. Kai… The power is in abundance! STAY FIRST
Let’s be encouraged, until our basics and foundation is the Scripture we will learn to learn and relearn. We must not continue like this. We must not keep building instructions that against Yaweh’s instruction.
I’m closing this, I leave you with this, Love Righteousness, Love Purity, Keep His Commandment, Fear God; it is our Call! It is a mandate! (The Whole duty of man - Ecc. 12:13). The reward is POWER with NO SHORTAGE IN SUPPLY in which He will SUPPLY YIELDED VESSELS WITH.
Shalom
