Don't Be A Signboard:

A signboard is a board displaying a sign to direct travelers. Signboards are not mobile but stationary; they don’t join those they direct to their specific destinations. When a believer becomes a signboard, he may preach the truth alright and get people saved, healed, delivered and blessed, but he himself doesn’t live by the truth he preaches. This is dangerous, especially in this end-time when the adversary is full of wrath, roaring like a lion and seeking whom he may devour. Why become a prey of the devil when you can partner with Jesus to bring millions of souls along with you to the Kingdom of God? Don’t be a signboard!

Activating The Speakings Of The Blood: The blood of Jesus is speaking better things than that of Abel. The blood of Abel spoke vengeance; if peace and reconciliation are better than vengeance, then the blood of Jesus is speaking peace and reconciliation. If prosperity is better than poverty, then the blood of Jesus is speaking prosperity. If divine health is better than sickness, then the blood of Jesus is speaking divine health. If life is better than death, then the blood of Jesus is speaking life.

However, all these better things spoken by the blood of Jesus may not be your personal experience until you activate them for yourself.

Just as we say “Amen” to all the promises of God so as to make them our personal experience, even so do we need to use the Holy Communion instituted by our Lord Jesus to activate the speakings of His Blood.

Baptism In The Holy Spirit:

To be baptized means to be immersed or submerged. The baptism of the Holy Spirit or baptism in the Holy Spirit is a subject largely misunderstood by a greater percentage of the Body of Christ. Until we distinguish between “receiving the Holy Spirit” and “baptism in the Holy Spirit” as taught by the Scriptures, chances are that we may never be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Yet, it is the intent of God that we will receive the Holy Spirit after the new birth, and that the Holy Spirit in us would be given the right of way until He takes over our souls. It is only when the Holy Spirit has taken over one’s soul that one is said to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Receiving the Holy Spirit is the beginning of the journey into baptism in the Holy Spirit. One could be baptized in the Holy Spirit the very day you receive the Holy Spirit depending on the disposition of your heart, your readiness to yield your soul under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and the hunger you have in you for the Holy Spirit to take over your soul.

Renew Your Mind:

To renew means to remove the old and replace with the new. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away and behold, all things have become new. The mind, which is a component of the soul, isn’t yet acquainted with your new nature which you received at new birth, because it is your spirit that was born again and not your soul. And until your mind is renewed, you may still be living the old life although you’re a new man in Christ. To live the transformed life in Christ, we’re admonished to renew our minds. Find out how to do so, as you listen.

The Altar And The Pulpit:

The altar is a place of sacrifice. A preacher who mounts the altar and does his own bidding other than the Will of God hasn’t understood the right use of the altar yet. The greatest altar ever, in human history, is the Cross of Jesus Christ; because our Lord Jesus went to the Cross, not to do His own Will, but the Will of the Father who sent Him. If we’re to make any lasting impact with the gospel in this end-time, we must remember the sacrifice of Jesus of Himself on the Cross, and be prepared to present our bodies as living sacrifices on the altars we have dedicated in our churches.

Likewise, pulpit simply means, “pull from the pit.” The pulpits on our altars in our churches are to be used for no other purpose than to pull members of our congregation from the various “pits” they might have found themselves. So many of our church folks are in pits of sin, poverty, sickness, divorce, disappointment, death, just to name a few. Until and unless we use our pulpits to pull such church members from those pits, our pulpits wouldn’t be different from any other podium found in the social, entertainment and political circles.

We Must Not Fail Jesus:

How awesome to know that our Lord Jesus did not only save us, but has also made us His co-labourers and partners together in ministry, to save a lost and dying world. He laid down His life for us, and now mandates us to lay down our lives for the brethren. Jesus is counting on you and me to reach out to those who haven’t heard the gospel, as well as those who have heard but haven’t believed yet, to present the gospel to them in its simplicity; and we must not fail Jesus!

1 John 3:16 (KJV) says,

“Hereby perceive we the love of God , because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

We ought to; it’s a must! Won’t you?

Impartation Through The Laying on Of Hands:

The doctrine of laying on of hands is a fundamental teaching every child of God must know and be acquainted with. Whenever hands are laid, a gradient is created, which allows the flow of whatever the better is carrying to be imparted to the lesser.

If there’s any gift to be imparted to members of the Body of Christ that will establish us in the faith like no other, it is the gift of prophecy. What has not been taught in the church is the revelation that the gift of prophecy carries with it an understanding into all mysteries and all knowledge. No wonder Apostle Paul encourages us to covet spiritual gifts, especially that we may prophesy.

As you listen, may you receive an impartation that will establish you in all areas of your life.

Receive The Holy Spirit.

God’s best gift to all of humanity is His Son, Jesus Christ; and the best gift Jesus Christ has given to His Church is the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit has been given; He’s been around since the day of Pentecost. It is now the responsibility of individual members of the Body of Christ to receive what Jesus has given.

You’d discover in this video that receiving the Holy Spirit is the initial step into baptism in the Holy Spirit. Until the Church distinguishes between receiving the Holy Spirit and baptism in the Holy Spirit, many believers who have received the Holy Spirit will continue to presume that they’re baptized in the Holy Spirit. It is this presumption that has caused a lot of setback in the work of the ministry of Jesus Christ. Your ability to distinguish between receiving the Holy Spirit and baptism in the Holy Spirit will go a long way to create a genuine hunger in you to give the Holy Spirit in you, the right of way.

The Gospel Simplified.

The good news of Jesus Christ, that He has saved the whole world, legally, must be told and retold in its simplicity. There are many out there who have never believed the gospel simply because of the way we have presented it. It’s time for the gospel to be simplified! It’s time to tell the whole world that so long as one hasn’t confessed the Lordship of Jesus yet, that individual is still under the lordship of Satan, because there are only two lords. No one is a lord of himself, but Satan has managed to keep humankind under the spell of his deception, making the unsaved to believe his lies. We must reverse this trend by preaching, teaching and keeping the gospel simplified.

Christian Baptism In Water:

Baptism is from Greek Word which means to dip into, plunge, immerse or submerge. We identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ though baptism. The burial is the outward expression of the death to sin, while the resurrection is the outward expression of the new life to God and to righteousness.

Baptism is an outward expression of something that has already taken place on the inside, meaning, the believer who is a new creation in Christ, is mandated to go through the waters of baptism to fulfill all righteousness.
