“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where The Spirit of The Lord is, there is liberty.”
2 Corinthians 3:17 (KJV)
Without the Presence of God, there is no Church. What brings credence to the things done in the Church, is the presence of God.
You can fake power, but you cannot fake the genuine presence of God.
Prophecy: Everything that has left your life that is inconsistent with God’s will, I prophesy, this day and this moment, may my God restore.
And any power that tries to fight this prophecy, may God nullify it, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Let there be restoration in every area of your life.
This year, purpose in your heart to take God seriously. Do not play games with God. We must mean business with God.
Pray: No power manifesting as sickness or patterns will find expression in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Prophecy: I declare, you will not suffer the sins of your parents!
You are delivered from the consequences of the sins of those who have gone ahead of you, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Each time you come before God’s Presence, be filled with faith.
One moment of encounter in God’s Presence can literally rewrite your destiny. (Hebrews 11:6)
“For the Lord Thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.” Deuteronomy 8:7-9 (KJV)
Prophecy: In the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of prophecy, may you step into a strange level of financial increase.
Step into the realm of extraordinary abundance; by the wisdom of God, by the favour of God, by strategic relationships, and by inheritance.
By the power of prophecy, beginning this week, may you step into a strange level of financial abundance.
I speak over your life, step into a realm of extraordinary abundance by wisdom, favour, strategic relationship, and the hand of God, in the name of Jesus Christ!
God is moving in a way similar to the way He has done before. The prophetic cloud is sighted gathering from nation to nation, possibly the last move before the second coming of Jesus Christ.
The clouds are shifting for the fathers. They know this. There are chariots, already waiting to come and pick the fathers.
The Spirit of God is gathering clouds that would result in a mighty rain of revival and awakening across the globe.
It is a prophetic formation over something mighty that God is doing. Deep is about to call unto deep.
There is a transference of genuine grace and mantles within the body of Christ. (Ezekiel 37:1)
There is a transition in the realm of the Spirit.
One of the things the Apostolic enjoys is access to the dealings of God per dispensations, aiding others in interpretation, and being prepared as vessels to be used for their specific times or dispensation.
Three Emphases of The Spirit of God in this Prophetic Season:
1. World Evangelization: God’s emphasis is to find laborers in the Kingdom that would make world evangelization a success.
2. The Maturity of the Saints: That the saints holistically come into an experience of maturity.
3. Territorial Transformation: That territory would experience the light, transformation, and wisdom of God, resulting in innovations and witty inventions.
There is a growing dissatisfaction, reawakening, hunger, and desire, among believers and even unbelievers within territories in the nation to experience the reality of God.
However, the major limitation is that the kind and quality of available vessels may not be able to birth the purposes of God to His satisfaction. (2 Timothy 2:20)
In Africa, a significant challenge in nominal Christianity emerges, given that there is a growing hunger and dissatisfaction, despite increasing earnestness toward God.
The major limitation lies in the insufficient maturity of available vessels to host the profound work that God desires to do.
The clarion call is not just “Maranatha – Come, Lord”. He already wants to come.
“And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? And The Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.” Acts 9:4-5 (KJV)
There are essentially two defects with the vessels that God desires to use:
1. Vessels that are completely disinterested in spirituality, spiritual growth, and God’s program or Kingdom come, even though there is a prophecy upon their lives. They may not even know they’re vessels. For others, it has degenerated into sheer Godlessness. The Spirit of God desires to work on such disinterest. (Acts 9:5)
Available and usable vessels are few, and in any battle, the number is an advantage. God is still looking for vessels.
2. Vessels with a lot of zeal and spirituality or a semblance of it but without true revelation or knowledge.
The major limitation of such a category of people is the danger and deception of self-sufficiency.
God demands that we carry out certain spiritual activities (prayer, fasting, and giving), but none of these activities were meant to replace the power and supremacy of God in our lives. (2 Corinthians 3:5)
When it comes to your calling and doing business in the kingdom, you’re not at liberty to create your own formula. There’s a pattern that leads to an ancient formula that you’re mandated to ask for, not to formulate.
The problem with the group of people (vessels) who are zealous but without proper mentoring and preparation is the danger and deception of self-sufficiency.
Frustration is already happening to many as a result of much spiritual activity being used to replace God’s own strength and sufficiency.
In this dispensation, there is excessive marketing of personal credentials among Ministers of the Gospel that limits the genuine manifestation of the power of God.
This is detrimental to the coming generation and may result in disappointment among younger believers, seeking to replicate the move of God.
God would have used the Scribes and Pharisees (perfect and upright people), not Fishermen (imperfect and unfit people) if what He was looking for was self-sufficiency.
Indeed, there is a price to pay for revival. Yet, instead of patiently allowing God to reveal the true price, many are crafting their own terms or costs, paying formulated prices, and hoping God will acknowledge it.
Certain Believers are beginning to replace Christ with “self”.
The new generation seeks genuine manifestation of God’s power with clear evidence of every claim made by Ministers of the Gospel.
Believers and Ministers of the Gospel must admit their inadequacies and return to a place of genuine manifestation of the power of God.
In the name of Jesus, I take away from your life the spirit of pride!
Every arrival mentality that will not allow you to patiently learn the ways and precepts of God, I curse it now, in the name of Jesus Christ!
A generation that dishonors fathers and embraces self-sufficiency should exercise caution and tread carefully.
The spiritual stature of individuals extends beyond mere sermons; it involves a track record men have with God that receives honor during their lifetime.
The younger generation of Believers must cast away the “know-it-all mentality.”
Never allow what you know, to deprive you of accessing what you do not know.
We must cast away the mindset of the know-it-all mentality. Never allow what you know, to destroy your passion to learn what you do not know.
Every challenge in The Body of Christ has someone who carries the graces to address that challenge. It is a lack of discernment (not discerning The Lord’s body), that makes them not enjoy these graces.
No matter how closely you walk with God, the graces that you need have been carefully distributed amongst the body. It will take humility and submission to access them.
Worshipping yourself in self-sufficiency is idolatry. (Exodus 20:3)
There is a price to pay as a Believer to access certain possibilities in God; you pay the price of faith and obedience that coordinates the delivery of what Jesus Christ has paid for.
As Believers, we pay the price of fasting, prayers, and study of God’s Word to grant us illumination to safely receive what God has deposited for us on earth.
The ultimate price has been paid for us by Jesus Christ.
As Believers, we pay our price by hiding behind the cross of Jesus Christ.
Avoid the temptation to elevate yourself through pride.
The concept of being mighty is being mighty and empowered by God.
Although the ultimate price has been paid for us by Christ Jesus, there is an error of complacency that makes Believers assume that because Jesus has paid the price, there is no need to pray, fast, and study the Word of God. When we carry out these spiritual activities behind the cross, it becomes powerful.
It is Jesus Christ that gives value to the spiritual sacrifices we make. It is Jesus Christ and the cross (the ultimate price) that amplifies the efforts of Ministers of the gospel.
As a Believer or Minister of the Gospel, the price you are expected to pay is the price for alignment for the purpose of delivery (of the possibilities God has made available), not the price for creation (of such possibilities or miracles).
No amount of fasting, prayer and word study in our own (human) strength will ever be enough to host God and result in a revival.
The price has been fully paid by God. It is your price of alignment that sponsors the safe delivery of what has already been paid for.
Pray: Lord, in whatever capacity You desire to use me, I am ready and available.
Pray: Father, find a worthy vessel in me. I would not be careless, I submit myself to learn and honour those who have gone ahead, regardless of my background.
What will make our generation different from other generations is not merely our prayers, fasting, or spiritual activities, it is a product of humility, alignment, and through an election of grace, that we receive delivery of the supernatural power of God from the realm of the Spirit, where it resides to the realm on earth where it is needed.
In essence, we do not pay the price Jesus Christ has already paid for us on the cross, we pay the price of alignment to receive delivery of what has been paid for.
