The biggest fear for a new creation believer is not death or failure but the fear of the unknown, the fear of not fulfilling potential on earth, and not reaching the fullness of one’s capacity.Pastor Shola teaches that what Jesus can do, we as believers can also do. Jesus’ finished work is our starting point; what He did, we are empowered to continue. God’s pattern is completion; what He starts, He finishes. The believer must therefore pursue the same fullness and finish well.He explains that many believers struggle with how to move from the unseen to the seen, from what they have caught in their spirit to becoming what they have seen. In Genesis 12:2–3, God tells Abraham to leave behind everything familiar because what God wanted to do required separation from the past. The past is often the spiritual hook that stops people from fulfilling God’s plan. Whenever God wants to begin a new thing, you must forget the former things. Holding on to the past closes the doorway to the future.Romans 8:19 reminds us that the world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. To become what you have seen in your spirit, you must let go of what you have been used to.Your focus determines your fruit. You cannot move forward while constantly looking back. Pastor Shola highlights a spiritual tool that every believer must hold on to—the tool of joy. As we come to the end of the year, joy becomes a necessary weapon. Jeremiah 15:16 shows that the Word of God births joy, and Habakkuk 3:17–18 reminds us that even when things do not look like they are working, we must maintain our joy.Joy is a spiritual weapon. Joy is the fetcher that draws your becoming out of what God has spoken. Without joy, even prophecy can stay stagnant.One of the ways to step into your next level is to remember what God has done before. Your testimony is your weapon. If God has done it before, He can do it again. The timing of God is perfect; He never mismanages lives. Some things will only happen in His time.There are three things in the Kingdom that define our posture—righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Sometimes the snare to your next level is your past, but joy is the armour that carries you into your future.Join us in this service as we experience joy in the Holy Ghost, for what is ahead of you requires joy to bring it forth.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.
