This Is Not Your Rest (Provoking Hunger And Dissatisfaction) by Apostle Selman
This Is Not Your Rest (Provoking Hunger And Dissatisfaction) Imparting The Finishers Grace by Apostle Selman
Lift your hands to heaven and give God quality thanks. Give Him all the praise and glory.
Pray: Father, visit me tonight! Let it be a night of encounter for me, let things never remain the same for me, in the name of Jesus Christ!
In the name of Jesus Christ, may the Lord arise for you! May He take away shame and reproach from your life, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Pray: I declare that every tree that has not been planted by my Father, by the instance of His word, let it be uprooted, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare that your days of weeping and mourning is over. Every stone over your life and destiny, I command it to be rolled away. May The Lord give you the testimony of Sarah, the kind that causes you to laugh, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I curse mediocrity and smallness from your life forever. Let sorrow give way in your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!
May my God give you rest round about, in the name of Jesus Christ. Everything God declared over your life from January, let this be your month of performance. For everyone asking where is your God, this is the month God will answer them, in the name of Jesus Christ!
In this season, God will bring completeness to your life. May the fullness of God be your portion, in the name of Jesus Christ!
“Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.” Micah 2:10 (KJV)
Overdwelling on your negative past can hinder you. It can hinder your:
1. Passion to press
2. Passion to advance
Some people’s greatest unbecoming is usually because they have recorded some level of success.
I pray for you, whatever makes you make reference to only yesterday, I curse that spirit from your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I pray for you: Whatever will make you to make reference to only your yesterday (past), I curse that spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Learning the laws of success and the laws of the spirit early in life is essential.
Repeated failures can often change the way you view life, slowly diminishing your capacity to believe in a positive outcome.
Negative past can bring fear, discouragement, and fight your passion to continue and press.
Yesterday is a very jealous phenomenon: it is obsessed with reliving itself.
I pray for you: May the power that closes your yesterday (the past) permanently be released over your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I decree and declare, the grace to turn your attention forward, may it be released over you, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare over you, whatever has pegged your eyes to keep looking at yesterday, as far as you came for this service tonight, the grace to look forward, may it rest on you tonight, in the name of Jesus Christ!
The starting point of every destiny is first a desire for progress and to advance in life and destiny. Despite this, many people who tend to start this journey never seem to make progress in life.
Yesterday’s experiences can give you sufficient reasons for staying stagnant or not moving forward.
When individuals achieve commendable progress, their passion or drive to keep pressing forward often begins to fade.
Completion does not just happen by chance; some keys make what is written in the Bible become your experience.
Reading the truth in the Bible doesn’t automatically guarantee completion, the Bible should provoke you to search for the keys that will bring you to a place of completion.
An arrival mentality is cancerous; it leads to unwanted inertia, complacency, and a loss of momentum
It’s wrong to assume that it is only failure that prevents people from finishing strong. Both success and failure can be obstacles – success can be just as distracting.
When it comes to finishing strong, both success and failure can become your enemies, each capable of distracting you from finishing strong.
I pray for you: on account of what you will hear tonight, may you produce a harvest, and as you’re connected to this ministry, may you never rest until your life produces a hundredfold result, in the name of Jesus Christ!
KEYS THAT PROVOKE DISSATISFACTION AND SPONSOR CONTINUITY:
1. Vision (Habakkuk 2:2)
Vision is a picture of your prophetic destiny. It is a picture of God’s standard and God’s expectation for you.
Vision helps you to benchmark your progress. Without a God-ordained standard, every standard will be enough for you.
We’re not called to a life or competition as Believers.
Prophecy: Whatever makes you compare yourself to those around you, giving yourself awards that the realm of the spirit, life, and destiny doesn’t recognize, may that spirit of mediocrity leave your life forever, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Many people, if they revisited what God spoke to them in the past, would experience a fresh level of yieldedness. Some have stopped reflecting on God’s Words, instead using them merely to recount or share stories of their former prowess of receiving prophetic instructions.
There’s always something to do in the life of a visionary person.
Visionary people are always busy, and people often misunderstand it to be unreal because of the lack of people around them. However, true busyness can exist even in isolation.
I decree that every distraction around your life and every enemy fighting your vision, I pray for you: may they give way right now, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Vision grants you the legitimacy and grounds to say “No,” even to friends and loved ones.
Vision gives you the discipline to supervise yourself.
What Vision Does:
1. It gives focus.
2. It gives you the legitimacy to say “No” to many things.
3. It gives you the discipline to supervise yourself.
Many wealthy individuals deliberately simplify their lives, understanding that success beyond a certain level can become cancerous and burdensome.
People must be taught that becoming successful and managing success requires training, and the training for managing success is higher than that of becoming successful.
There is a burden that comes with managing success and if not well managed, it can become a burden and eventually cancerous to the “successful” individual.
Get angry within your spirit, rise, and declare to yourself, “There’s more to contend for.”
Learn and master the art of forcing life to work in your favour.
You must have a clear vision for your life, family, business, and beyond, etc.
Your vision must be broken down into goals, and then goals into steps and strategies.
Your vision is not strong nor clear enough if you constantly rely on external motivation for it.
If you constantly need external motivation, it’s an indication that your vision isn’t strong or clear enough. When your vision is strong, it will motivate you to work.
Declare: In the name of Jesus Christ, I decree and declare that I have a clear vision for my life!
Part of the fundamentals of the Koinonia Global family is having the orientation that your service is beyond your location, but driven by vision.
KEYS THAT PROVOKE DISSATISFACTION AND SPONSOR CONTINUITY:
2. Maintaining a vibrant Spiritual life (Psalm 63:1-8)
Spirituality is a sponsor of completion. Most times, when you lose the fire, it’s because you have lost Spiritual presence.
I pray for you, whatever will have to make God replace you because you have become a liability to the Kingdom, may you never get to that point in your life and your destiny, in the name of Jesus Christ!
As a global family, we encourage regular personal retreats, especially on birthdays and at the close of the year.
What truly makes your birthday “Happy” is hearing God say, “Well done!”, not whether or not you had cake.
I pray for you, whatever is eating up your spiritual vitality, may you receive grace tonight to fight it to death, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Indices that Test Spiritual Vibrancy (your spiritual vitals):
1. Gluttony – having an irresistible appetite for food. Taming your appetite is a great test of spirituality.
2. Sleep – slumber is a problem that occurs when The Holy Ghost wakes you to pray, and you don’t respond.
3. Eroding of your values – the eroding of your values is a test of your spirituality.
I pray for you, whatever has quenched your spiritual fire, may The Spirit of The Living God light that candle afresh, in the name of Jesus Christ!
The reason why many do not obtain the grace to finish strong is usually because they have reduced themselves from spirituality to carnality.
Pray in the Spirit: Ask God to keep you burning, keep your prayer life, and Word study-life burning, in the name of Jesus Christ!
To endure, remain hungry and dissatisfied enough to last and finish well. Then it’s important to become a student of history.
There are lessons to learn from yesterday. As a minister of God, there are enough examples to draw wisdom from especially from the lives of God’s servants who have gone before you and whose stories you can learn from.
3. You must be, and remain a student of history (Romans 15:4).
There is something about history that educates you about yesterday and makes you press for completion.
Experience is not the best teacher but it is a teacher, especially as taught by the survivor.
What History Does:
1. Reveals hidden danger
2. Educates
2. Enlightens
3. Reveals codes that open up doors in the future.
KEYS THAT PROVOKE DISSATISFACTION AND SPONSOR CONTINUITY:
4. Mentorship.
Mentorship is the opportunity to learn the wisdom, pain, and experience of those who have gone ahead of you.
What Mentorship Does:
1. It creates the platform for your progress.
2. It celebrates your progress.
3. It challenges you to press for greater heights.
I pray for you, whatever makes you settle for less, may God deliver you right now, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Always believe that there’s always more than whatever you’ve seen (achieved). Don’t settle for less; keep pressing for more. This is not your rest!
Challenge yourself to stop entertaining bankruptcy of results in life. Obtain the grace to sit down and learn because there is always something you don’t yet know and something new to learn.
Learning from those ahead of you doesn’t reduce your achievements and accomplishments.
KEYS THAT PROVOKE DISSATISFACTION AND SPONSOR CONTINUITY:
5. Practice humility (James 4:6).
Pride is a blindfold that stops you from seeing what is on the next level.
Pray: Lord, take away arrival mentality from my life! Give me true humility; the humility to serve, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Father, I stretch my hands over my precious people, I have a responsibility for their spiritual growth; becoming and maturing unto stature, and I decree and declare over them, the grace that immunes people from being small that is responsible for aborting destiny and not finishing strong, even after a glorious start, may that grace rest upon you as a shield, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare that God gives you the gift of hunger; hunger for His presence, hunger for the things of the Spirit, hunger to actualize your destiny and your goals, hunger to evolve until you become a person of power, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I decree and declare: every distraction tampering with your focus, I pray for you from the depth of my heart, may that distraction vanish like smoke before the wind, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare over every rebellion that is locked up in your heart, that is stopping you from learning and becoming, may that spirit of rebellion be cast out of your life now, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I decree over you: Financially, you will prosper until you attain unto the standard that God has for you!
Spiritually, I declare that you will be vibrant, until you become as strong as a Nation, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare, in every aspect of your life, go forward! In career, rise and be a giant! In your family, ride and be a giant! You are not the needy, you are a saviour! You will begin to manifest the dominion power of the Kingdom, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare that your life become a sign and a continuous wonder! And I pray for you, for the remaining part of this year, finish strong in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare that the dimensions of the anointing you have never seen before in your life, may your hands begin to command it from today! Receive access to more superior dimensions of revelation! May God open your eyes to see, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare, every grace that’s needed in your destiny, required to make you finish this year strong but missing, may the Holy Spirit deposit it in your life right now, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I pray God’s restoration upon you: For anyone who has lost things, time, relationships, access to opportunities, money or levels in the Spirit; by prophecy, I pray for you, whatever is missing in your life, I command restoration now, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Whatever took you away from your throne, took away your crown, your honour, I prophesy restoration! Restoration in your finances, zeal, wisdom, and opportunities, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I bless your week, I decree and declare that you will experience the power of God this week!
Let testimonies follow you this week; I declare unto you from glory to glory, from grace to grace, favour to favour, honour to honour, wisdom to wisdom, power to power, results after results, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I decree that shame is far from you, tragedy is too late over your life, helpers are coming speedily, lifters are coming speedily, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare unto you, may you hear a voice from behind saying – this is the way, walk in it!
I call you proof producers! I call you signs and wonders! The wisdom of the Spirit is at work in you; I declare that your life will be the portrait of a Believer indeed, in the name of Jesus Christ!
The testimony you’ll share next Sunday, may it manifest this week! I release my faith and declare that you will not cry!
Let this week beginning be a week of surprises for you! May the Lord decorate your life with honour, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Genuine peace and fulfillment flow from an encounter with Jesus. Tonight, He is reaching out to you and wants to give you a new beginning, regardless of your past or current situation.
Take this bold step of faith to begin the journey of salvation, by saying “yes” to Jesus. With faith in your heart, declare this prayer of salvation to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
”I say unto you, that likewise, joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.“
Luke 15:7 (KJV)
If you just received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour tonight, we celebrate you and Heaven rejoices over your decision. We’d love to read from you and become a part of your Christian journey.
