The reason behind stagnation in life

Why is everything about you stuck?

You are growing but nothing seem to change about you. . . .

Years are getting forward by and by and you have nothing to show with passage of time and you wonder what is happening with your life. . . .

There is a revelation for you from above - take it and shine in this 2022

*The ministration of Holy things*

We will begin from the verse that has brought so much selfish revelations in the body of Christ. . . . .but tonight, it carries another dimension of authority. . . .

Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?

*I Corinthians 9:13 NKJV*

You are not really eating from the things of the temple, all that which you seek comes from the temple - your temple is your assigned kingdom service. 

Your kingdom service is your personalized temple - where you can get fed from. . . ..

have you taken hold of the key to your personalized temple?

Every work that comes to your life as directed by God is Holy - through it you shall get paid off.

You are stuck because you are not being paid, and you are not being paid because you are not really working - we serve a justice God, you reap what you sow.

You are simply looking for something you have not worked for and this is the reason your things are stuck. . . . .

What are you doing in the Church or the kingdom of God? - behind every holy service you offer, there your need is being met. 

Open your eyes child of God in this 2022, your marriage partner could spring out within your dimension of ministry.

God has prepared a great divine connection for your life through your service in the kingdom.

Through your swiping and mopping in the Church - God is connecting you to your dream job.

Through your giving, God is releasing to your life the grace to start operating

It's one thing to be called as an Apostle and no one can take it from you but it takes grace to walk in it - many are the prophets in the street and only few will die to have been one.

But when God, who from my birth set me apart and called me by His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me, so that I could preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone.

*Galatians 1:15‭-‬16 HCSB*

That you were set apart before you were born to work as a pastor or Prophet does not mean it has pleased the heavens . . . .it takes the activator of the grace -walking in the service of the kingdom

Let me share this little testimony. . . . .

Before the Spirit of the Lord confirmed on me that I was called into the pulpit ministry, this is the plan I had:

   • To buy Bible's and share with those who need them. . . . around 15 I bought and shared. . .

   • To buy plastic chairs and give to a Church or Ministry the Spirit of the Lord directs. . . . around 13 chairs I bought and gave

   • To make or buy a pulpit and give to Church or Ministry - this I did but the day I wanted to give, suddenly something happened in my life. . .I fellow in love with the pulpit. . . something was telling me "it is for you". . . .few days later someone prophesied to my life that I was called into the five - fold ministry.

When you are doing your ordained holy services, doors to your life will suddenly open - know yourself and focus.

God never specified my calling, he simply indicated fivefold ministry and I never rested, moving here and there so as to get a prophetic word of who really I am in the fivefold ministry. . . then this other day after waiting for so long without an answer, I decided to teach on the fivefold ministry and at the end of the teaching, my question to the followers was, " having followed my teaching, who do you say You are in the fivefold ministry? " immediately the Spirit of the Lord asked me the same question and I did not hesitate to say "I am an Apostle" and I wrote in my electronic notebook.

Few days later, other Prophets started confirming it. . . .

Child of God, your answers and needs are behind your kingdom service. . . . , do you get me?. . .

Do you realize what you have been missing?. . . .

Your answers are in doing the holy services of the Lord. . . .

You will eat and get divine answers from your kingdom services. . . .what are you doing in the kingdom of God?

That you are not doing anything is the reason enough your things are still stuck and you don't know where you are going.

   *The whole teaching in a quick glance*

   *Key verse*

   Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?

   *I Corinthians 9:13 NKJV*

   *Key point*

   All that you seek from God are the things of the temple. Stagnation means failure to have access to the things of the temple. You are not really eating from the things of the temple, all that which you seek comes from the temple - your temple is your assigned kingdom service. 

   Your kingdom service is your personalized temple - where you can get fed from. Every work that comes to your life as directed by God is Holy and through it you shall get paid off.

   You are stuck or stagnated because you are not being paid, and you are not being paid because you are not really working - start working now to see the fullness of your life this 2022.

The key to receiving from God

If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.

*Matthew 10:39 NLT*

There is just one thing that moves the Lord into answering your prayers - a single key to receiving from God.

It's not prayer and fasting, it's not your giving, or doing the work of Him - ministry.

God looks at your object of focus or your desperation object - is it Him or that which you are praying for?

He turns up if its him that you seek

You must give up your personal agenda or that which you are praying for so you can accommodate him. . ... 

Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.

*John 20:6 HCSB*

Simon peter was not really looking for Jesus, He wanted to know whether Jesus body was available or not and off he went. . . .

In this 2022 you must stop looking for a word of prophecy, or answers to your problems - be in a place to find his presence in your life. 

You must search for Jesus and not really what comes from him.

When you find him, you have all that you were looking for.

You must focus on developing your personal relationship with the Holy Spirit in this 2022 - put aside the results.

But Mary stood outside facing the tomb, crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body had been lying. 

They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? ” “Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.” 

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.

*John 20:11‭-‬14 HCSB*

*I pray for you, may the good Lord grant you the grace to stay, the grace to remain, the grace to keep following despite no results in Jesus name!*

You must seek the Lord and not really your needs with all your heart . . . . . . 

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

*Jeremiah 29:13 HCSB*

The reason you move from this place to the other - knowing all kinds of men and women of God is because you are not really looking for Him.

Those who seek his presence will always stay.

The key to receiving from God is the degree of your love for Him.

If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 

But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”

*Daniel 3:17‭-‬18 NLT*

When Satan wants to have your attention, he will block your answers from the Lord so he can attract you with the shadow of what you are looking for. Satan will show you something similar yet not the original intention of God.

Don't be distracted child of God, to win Satan is to stop looking for your needs or answers to your prayers - you must hunger for the presence of God.

Do you love God or the things that come from him?

If you don't receive that which you have been praying for, what will be your next step?

   - Will you stop going to Church?

   - Will stop following the man God has ordained to bless your life?

   - Will you stop giving?

   - Will you reduce the degree at which you dedicated yourself to the things of God?

The key to receiving from God is to stop waiting for that which you have prayed for and simply focus on your relationship with Him- it's a sacrifice. You must reach a point of nailing all your needs, wants and desires on the Cross.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

*John 10:18 KJV*

You must reach a point of not concentrating on yourself anymore - putting aside your needs and focus on your relationship with God.

Knowing your God must be your focus. . . .

He will flatter and win over those who have violated the covenant. But the people who know their God will be strong and will resist him.

*Daniel 11:32 NLT*

*Satan will not win over your life in Jesus name*

*you will attain a certain level of spiritual understanding that would resist the devil in Jesus name*

*what matters to you is no longer your needs - marriage, relationships, investments, your job, career, power or anointing, you will hunger for the secret place in Jesus name!*

God bless you child of God

*Whole teaching in a quick glance*

*Key verse*

If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 

But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”

*Daniel 3:17‭-‬18 NLT*

*Key point*

The key to receiving from God is to stop waiting for that which you have prayed for and simply focus on your relationship with Him- it's a sacrifice. You must reach a point of nailing all your needs, wants and desires on the Cross.

Sacrifice is the key - not your money, prayer or fasting but exchanging your own needs with his presence.

The fight of God

*Text*

"You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms;

 *Jeremiah 51:20 ESV*

 *The fight of God*

We learn from the bible that God is at war.

Who is He fighting?

Where ?

Which weapons is he using?

The only opponent of God is the devil - Satan. Satan has established kingdoms here on earth and God detests them. . . .

These smaller kingdoms are on earth and the battle therefore is here on earth.

We learn again from the bible that God has given the earth to a man - He only created it but its you and me having the authority on earth. . . . .

*Text*

The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord ’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.

*Psalms 115:16 NKJV*

As much as God wants his kingdom get established here on earth, He has no authority to fight himself. . . . 

*you are his weapon child of God. . .*

*Do you realize this?*

God is banking on you, what are you really doing as a contribution to the "kingdom come"?

Every battle has different weapons to overcome an opponent. . . . .

You and me, are unique weapons. . .

You are God's weapon, 

You fight through your apostolic grace. . . .

You are God's weapon, 

You fight through your interceding for others. . . .

You are God's weapon, 

You fight through your administrative work at Church. . . .

You are God's weapon, 

You fight through your grace of giving. . . .

You are God's weapon, 

 *You will fight through your obedience - you will marry the will of God and give birth to a Prophet - another weapon of God. . .*

Marriage is very important. . . ..you go on to bring to the world other weapons of God. . . .

You can therefore fail to bring the required weapon if you marry wrongly. . . .

*May every part of your life be a reflection of God's agenda in Jesus name!*

There were so many virgins, but why only Mary?. . . .

You are that special weapon child of God. . . .

You must get to know the real you in this month of  

*"I know who I am"*

We are essentially identifying the weapon in us. . . . .

You are a blessed person on this earth if the weapon in you is being used. . . .

This is why the bible teaches us to seek the kingdom of God first. . . .

It actually mean - identify the weapon in you and live by it. . .. Then you start experiencing all that you need in this life. . .

Nothing is free in this world, even that which you seek from God

God expects you to work. . . .and your work on this earth is not your job. . .

You can be a successful Doctor, Nurse, lawyer or business heavy weights .. . .but if you never worked through your job or business, then your life has been amiss to God. . . .

God gives you a job so you can work. . . . .your work is always attached to your divine assignment - the weapon of God in you

Take note of this. . . .what is happening on this earth, to God is like a replay. . .

He has already lived from the beginning to the end - nothing surprises him

He has already seen the battle of the earth and the kind of weapons needed. . . .

*Do you know what it means to have a new born baby here on earth?*

Every new born baby including you and me, is a solution to God - it becomes part of his weapon in this battle. . . . 

You are a prophet because God saw a problem that required a Prophet. . . .live by that. . .

You are a giver because God saw a problem that required such a grace . . .walk in it - it's your work.

Your existence on this earth is a solution to a problem. . . . . you are like a key specific to a certain Lock. . . .

*I pray that you will identify and start opening your corresponding Lock in Jesus name!✋*

It's not enough to identify your Lock - you need that conviction, the faith that will move you into using your key. . . . many of us know what we ought to do, but we lack this conviction. . . . 

*may the good Lord help you in Jesus name!*

Living the right way

What does it mean to live the right way?

*Text*

Riches won’t help on the day of judgment, but right living can save you from death.

*Proverbs 11:4 NLT*

*Five ways to living the right way*

   1. Right living is cutting self from the love of this world - your best enemy is not Satan but your love to the things of this world. You are in this world but not of this world, which means you need to set boundaries as a Christian. There are discussions you need to avoid, there are movies and kind of songs you need not to feed your eyes and ears. There are some posts you need not to comment or post on social media. As a Christian, you are meant to continually grow Spiritually and the only enemy to your Spiritual growth is not Satan but your love for the things of this world. Satan has a place - you will always meet him where he dwells, in the world.

   *Text*

   Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.

   *1 John 2:15 NLT*

   Check how your time is spent on daily basis, then you will know whom you love. The best token of showing love is the sacrifices you give and no sacrifice exceeds your time. 

   Time is your life, your time given to someone is never restored - to everyone is given a specific period of time to live here on earth. How are you using your time?

   *Text*

   “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.

   *Matthew 6:24 NLT*

   You are either for God or for this world, not both. Where are you right now?

   Cut yourself from the things of this world.

   2. Right living is living in the hope of your Salvation - knowing that one day you will be judged for everything you do here on earth. This is living knowing that there is another life ahead, and the life we are now is simply a preparation for where we will live forever - an eternity conscious living.

   *Text*

   But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

   *Matthew 7:23 NLT*

   At the last day, you will be recognized by how you committed your life into doing the word. It's doing the word of God that matters and not knowing it, preaching and teaching it. You are living right if you are committed unto doing the word of God.

   3. Right living is living according to your life's Purpose - knowing exactly what you were created for and obediently walking in it .

   *Text*

   I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.

   *2 Timothy 4:7 NLT*

   Do you know the kind of a fight you were created for? If you die today, will you be proud for having walked in your assignment?

   *Text*

   “You are my war club, my weapon for battle— with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms,

   *Jeremiah 51:20 NIV*

   God is speaking to you, "you are my weapon of war" - do you really realize the kind of a weapon God has entrusted to your life?

   Choose to start living on Purpose, you do not have much time to live here on earth.

   4. Right living means living according to the Spirit of the Lord - living righteously. The Spirit gives birth to the fruit which is the character of Jesus. You are living by the Spirit if the character of Jesus is what people see in you.

   *Text*

   But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

   *Galatians 5:22‭-‬23 NLT*

   The fruit of the Spirit is the true character of Jesus - live according to the Spirit by focusing on Christlikeness each passing day.

   5. Right living is knowing and Maintaining the friend you need most here on earth - the Holy Spirit, having him and deciding to never grieve him.

   *Text*

   Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

   *Psalms 51:11 NKJV*

   The Indwelling Holy Spirit is all you need, he comes at your Salvation - at your believing of the word. You have believed if you start doing the word of God.

   The Indwelling Holy Spirit identifies you as the child of God - he marks you and then at the last day during rapture, He will pick you and meet the Lord in the Air.

   *Text*

   And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

   *Ephesians 4:30 NKJV*

   Is He in you?, If you die today - is He going to pick you during rapture?

   Or if rapture happens now whilst you still living- are you in the right terms with the Holy Spirit that He will pick you and meet the Lord in the air?

   *Five point means five prayer points for you - I pray that the gracious hand of the Lord be on you that you will start living rightly in Jesus name!*

Your most vulnerable time - Times to watch out for Satan

*Text*

During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”

*Matthew 4:3 NLT*

After Jesus had fasted for 40 days and nights, he was hungry and this was the perfect time to be visited by Satan.

Your biggest external temptation comes when you are in need:

Be very careful when you are hungry, Esau lost his birthrights because he was hungry.

*Text*

“Look, I’m dying of starvation!” said Esau. “What good is my birthright to me now?”

*Genesis 25:32 NLT*

I am dying, what good is my Christianity?

I am dying, what good is my integrity?

I am dying, what good is the Jesus in me?

Satan will hit you so hard in those times when you are in want.

He will bring to you what you want but in exchange of your Soul. Be very careful when you are in season of lack.

In your financial struggles, he will come with good ideas and skills so you can steal from the group/company/Organization money you are keeping.

It's true that you are in need but not every Source will be right before the Lord - you must maintain your integrity at all cost.

Each time you choose to satisfy the flesh, you are losing out a blessing in the spiritual realm and Every time you deny self, you are being blessed Spiritually even if you can't see it. Esau lost it all because of hunger. Jesus was tempted the time he was hungry.

As Christians, we are more vulnerable to the attacks of Satan when we hungry.

Be very careful, the times you stay away from your partner

*Text*

I have heard there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy enough grain to keep us alive. Otherwise we’ll die.”

*Genesis 42:2 NLT*

If you did not know, this is what led the Israelites to be captives in Egypt - they had no food to eat and did not want to die.

The same thing happened to Jesus, but how did he respond?

That there is no food in the house, is not the reason enough to start being unfaithful to your partner.

Be very careful when money is not available because in Egypt it's there

Be very careful when you can't find a job - there is a job in Egypt

Be very careful when years keeps going without driving - your dream cars are in Egypt

Be very careful when all your age mates are getting married - beautiful and handsome partners are in Egypt

Be very careful when all your friends are building houses and only you seem to be struggling - there are great mansions in Egypt

You go to Egypt exchanging your own Soul with a temporary blessing.

*Text*

They threw down their staffs, which also became serpents! But then Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.

*Exodus 7:12 NLT*

Miracles too are in Egypt, healing, deliverance and prophecies - be very careful when your deliverance, healing or breakthrough is taking long - you will settle for a cent in Egypt thinking it was a million dollar.

Be alert in times of luck, learn something from Jesus.

*Text*

But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

*Matthew 4:4 NLT*

Bread is to the flesh just as the word of God is to the Spirit man.

A man - the living soul is both in fresh and in Spirit. Fresh and Spirit both have the cravings and Jesus was only illustrating that you must satisfy the cravings of the Holy Spirit and not the flesh.

What are you lacking? Will it benefit the flesh or the spirit man?

*Text*

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

*III John 1:2 NKJV*

It's true that God wants us to be prosperous both in our health (flesh) as well as the Soul but there is formula - seek the kingdom of God first and these other things will follow.

*Text*

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

*Matthew 6:33 NKJV*

*I pray for you, may the good Lord open your eyes on those times of insufficiency- in Jesus mighty name!*

The Key to Living in the Promises of God

*Text*

The Lord will not let the godly go hungry, but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.

*Proverbs 10:3 NLT*

How true is this verse to your life? Are the righteous indeed enjoying their privileges?

Many are good at quoting the verses today - the text they really do not see themselves manifesting in to the point that the word of God has been reduced and considered powerless in the lives of many. 

What really is the problem?

How can one walk in the manifestations of the promises of God?

First you need to understand the three main basic information you need to quote in scriptures:

   1. Roles/commands or principles - these are what we usually miss as Christians, they are governing rules or principles to what we really want.

   2. Promises - these are the promises not to everyone, but children of God. Which means the first step is to find out the qualifications for the promises or for being a child of God

   3. Prophecies - the word of comfort from the Lord and one need to know principles behind walking in the fulfilment of prophecies

Promises and prophecies need to be fulfilled or manifested and what really makes them manifest is the submission to God's command.

Unfortunately these days, many Christians are busy quoting promises and prophecies from the Lord and not his commands and this is where we miss it.

*Text*

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

*2 Corinthians 1:20 NIV*

The command here is to be in Christ, then the promises of God will be fulfilled.

It is not enough to quote the scripture or a promise - you can only live in it through Jesus or submitting to God's command.

In the text we started with the problem is the understanding of the word "godly"

To some, godly means:

   - Going to Church each Sunday

   - Giving tithes and offerings

   - Fasting at least once in a week

   - Reading the Bible, teaching and preaching

Whilst in line with God's agenda for man - you are godly if you are doing his word, submitting fully to his word and command.

The key to living in the scripture or promises of God is submission to his commands.

Starting quoting God's command and see to it if you have submitted.

The word of God is living and changes not - will live forever, it is what it says about you.

You must claim the promises by being in Christ, a child of God.

Do you have the audacity to say, "Abba Father" - you receive by the fatherhood principle. Learn the principles of becoming a son.

Read your Bible to quote the commands and principles as well as promises and prophecies.

Ask yourself why you are reading the Bible - don't read the Bible because you want to teach, preach or you have been asked to.

The passion to read the Bible must be to know God.

*Text*

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

*John 17:3 NKJV*

You must know God if all you need is life eternal.

*Text*

. . .but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

*Daniel 11:32b NKJV*

Know God by submitting yourself unto the scriptures if success and strength is what you desire.

*Text*

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

*Philippians 3:10 NKJV*

*I pray that our heavenly father will grant you the passion to know Him more, in Jesus mighty name!*

The Key to identifying your life's Purpose

_Curiosity, passionate, the source of tears or heart break_

*Text*

Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. 

When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.

*Nehemiah 1:2‭, ‬4 NIV*

For you to live a life of impact is when you decide to live on purpose.

You are not an accident here on earth, you did not just appear and even if it were not convenient for your parents to nurture you - God knew you before you were born.

You exist for a purpose, you are that solution to the world - the key that on one else has it worldwide, you are so special my dear.

But do you really know how special you are? Your uniqueness is in the assignment or divine purpose of which you were created for.

Do you know the real reason of your existence?

It's a question of identifying your life's purpose, how do you establish your mission statement?

In our text we see *three factors* that Ushered Nehemiah unto aligning himself to the will of God about his life.

   1. Curiosity - Curiosity is the strong desire to know and usually asks questions - what are you curious about. On your daily basis, what are the things you really want to know? The questions you ask and the things you really want to know are a clue to the purposes of God encrypted in your life. Track your Curiosity and critique the questions you usually ask and you will see yourself going towards alignment with the maker. Nehemiah wanted to know more about the Jews - He was simply assigned to them.

   2. Passion - what are you so passionate about. Passion is the sacrificial great desire - you are so passionate about something or a person if you are ready to give up something or risk your own life just to make the other happy or flee someone. Fasting and prayer is a Spiritual Sacrifice that not every person can choose to take but Nehemiah did it after hearing how uncomfortable the Jews were. How do you feel when you hear someone is: sick, starving, beaten, scourged to death, chased from school due to fees, raped, and so many other unfavorable words? Nehemiah responded by crying to show it was one of his assignments to restore order. Your assignment lives in your heart and you must always pay attention to how your heart reacts to situations.

   3. Heart break - whatever breaks your heart reveals the key to your assignment, be so curious about it - ask questions. Let the Lord reveal more to you as you hunger for more. Nehemiah mourned because of the situation faced by the Jews

Knowing your life purpose is very important - it makes you to start living on purpose and making your life more productive. Apart from the above factors, one needs to be a child of God to identify his or her assignment, being around others and becoming sensitive to the needs of others.

*I pray that you will align yourself to that which the Lord created you for - in Jesus mighty name*

A living Corpse

*Text*

. . .“I know all the things you do, and that you have a reputation for being alive—but you are dead.

*Revelation 3:1 NLT*

You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

You go to Church, read the Bible, pray in tongues and do all what the so basic Christian of today can do but the truth is not in you.

Remember the real death of a Christian is when his Soul is dead.

Your Soul is dead when the Holy Spirit is not inside your heart.

Remember we have two kinds of death and therefore two kinds of Resurection.

The first death is for everyone, death of the earthly tent - the body or the flesh.

*Text*

“And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

*Luke 12:4 NKJV*

Death in the body is not really death for a Christian but death in the spirit.

You can be living in the body yet dead in Spirit, meaning that the Spirit of the Lord is not in you.

You are dead if you do not have Jesus in your heart.

Jesus comes in your heart at Salvation - thus when the Holy Spirit comes inside your heart.

The Holy Spirit comes inside your heart once you believe - to believe means to start doing the word of God and not really seconding the word of God.

Pretence and self deception has grown so much today -many think all is well spiritually while they are not. 

We are alive in Christ by his Spirit in our heart - not speaking in toungues, delivering, healing and prophesying.

*Text*

Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

*Matthew 7:22‭-‬23 NKJV*

Being alive, it's not just going to church dairly or reading the bible and praying - its letting the word of God change us-doing the word, the Spirit of the Lord must be working in us.

*I pray that you will commit your life to the doing of the word in Jesus name*

Maintaining the Holy Spirit

*Text*

Just hold on to what you have until I come.

*Revelation 2:25 NIRV*

My question is, what do you have in your heart?

Is it what Jesus seeks in His return?

Jesus is not coming for those who go to Church, pastors or Church elders - He is coming for those who are ready and you are ready if you have the Holy Spirit inside your heart.

Is your house ready? What do you have in your heart? Is it anger, envy, unforgiveness or gossip? Clean your house today and let the Spirit of the Lord dwell in your heart.

When Jesus appears in the cloud during rapture, those who are ready will be carried by their HOLY SPIRIT in the heart and meet the Lord in the air.

All you need is the Holy Spirit inside your heart - He confirms you as the child of God as well as being a mark and seal for your final redemption.

*Text*

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

*Ephesians 4:30 NKJV*

*May the good Lord favour you with the grace of Salvation, in Jesus mighty name amen!*

Don't give up on doing good

*Text*

In the same way, the good deeds of some people are obvious. And the good deeds done in secret will someday come to light

*1 Timothy 5:25 NLT*

Do not worry about your unnoticed generosity by men's of the earth. Your continual kindness and commitment in whatever you do never go unnoticed by our heavenly father. You will surely get rewarded in due course - don't give up.

Your good deeds are like a seed and each time you face opposition and feeling not rewarded, you must water that seed by not giving up.

Whatsoever a man soweth, it does not matter when but that he shall reap.

*Text*

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

*Galatians 6:7 NKJV*

You are not wasting your time and resources, in fact the greatest gift you can offer someone is your time and resources - your harvest is coming, don't allow Satan to take it away.

When Saul got tired waiting for Samuel, the moment he disobeyed, Samuel came

*Text*

Just as Saul was finishing with the burnt offering, Samuel arrived. Saul went out to meet and welcome him,

*1 Samuel 13:10 NLT*

Each time you feel tired of doing good or commiting your life to the Lord, just know your blessings are just at your finger tip and Satan wants you to lose focus - don't give up.

 keep on watering your breakthrough seed by not giving up in your kindness, you will soon rise and shine in Jesus name!

Keep praying, each time you are praying, something is changing in spirit.

We serve a God who sees everything including inside the heart. God rewards a heart and not really what a person does.

*May the good Lord grant you the grace to stay, to endure, to persevere and not giving up - in Jesus mighty name!*
