We must pay attention to the contents of the vision for us to be able to run. We don’t have a ministry as an individual, but the ministry we have received of the Lord.
In Zion are entities of strength, they are always strong because they tap into The Source of Strength. One thing that will make us access this Strength is if we understand that there is a program we must follow through. We need the Revelation of Christ to understand this program. Revelation is not high sounding words but words that are kept secret. Zion will be built by these Revelations. We all have our personal agendas before we came to Christ, which could range between our ambitions, fight against poverty and so on. But God has His own agenda which is the terminating of the poverty of the nations which has limited men from looking up to Him.
A horn has kept nations subject. The message of “God is light” is that which has been sent to deliver the nations from the horn that has held them captive. The Spirit had to breathe upon the prophets to say what they said in the scriptures. Seduction is in women. Women are anything the heart can get devoted to. What can keep away from defilement is a racing into the God in the days of their flesh, just as Jesus was building strength while here on earth. He carried the wood while under his father as a carpenter which served as a training for him towards the bearing of the cross to Golgotha. Every man must build strength for the crucifixion of the cross.
When the Holy Ghost is at work, he crosses the boundary of flesh. The system of this earth will keep waxing old. The only thing that is new is what man cannot by his imagination come by. Only in God can that newness be found. The strength of the dragon has limited man from accessing this newness. Strength is mastery and capacity to bear weight just as Jesus was able to carry Kingdom by the strength he built in himself while he was here on earth. Paul came to reveal Jesus in a way that even the disciples didn’t discern him while he was with them. When we begin to follow we will know more than we used to know. God is patient and is a husband that will wear out the enemy. God will expire what we know so that we can rely on him as God our strength. In these days the Lord will empty every pride. The way that should be prepared for the Lord to ride is our hearts and He will by His strength make this way. Our ways will no longer be convenient when the Lord bring his righteousness to us. The sea is not a still water but a place of activities and turbulent happenings. The strength of the Lord is what can handle the activities in the sea. The young people are a focal point in bringing to play the strength of God in the land.
Jonah 1:1-3
Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
We are a people whose strength lies in our corporate existence. There is power in nationhood. The Jews are different from other nations. Jonah entered in the ship going to Tarshish with other men whose ways was in sin. Because he was different from them, the sea rose against them.
You can be a part of a people and not be practicing your occupation. The Church sometimes doesn’t know their God because they are not his people. God cannot be fixed into a constant because his ways are past finding out. You can be in a church and you don’t have the ability to sin anymore because the power of the people cleanses. The people sanctify. In some other gatherings, when you get there, you would feel like sinning the more. Every nation has their common problems but that doesn’t mean that everyone there has the problem.
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
The mandate of a people is to show. Many are in Christ but not all have Christ in them. Ephesians 5:1-3. By reason of our corporate existence any one that comes into our midst should be unable to express his former life. Assimilation and absorption are the medium by which this is achieved. The message is sent through men. What you see is stronger than what you learn; visuals are stronger than hearing. God wants to raise his people on earth by assimilating them. We are his workmanship; a show of his work in us as the exact representation of himself as seen in Christ. In the art world, nothing is ever wrong as everything is seen as a display of creativity. In divine nature there is a pattern of how things should be. It paints a form of life that once it is violated sin has been committed. The reason we miss the mark even when we have the intention to do right is because we don’t know the scriptures. The people that will showcase the true way things should be in the earth are the people of God. God’s strength is expressed among a people.
John 8:36.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
We can be in positions where we try to manage our bondages because we have not come to know the Truth. Truth brings liberty. Jesus didn’t come to begin a religion. Jesus is a free man who was at liberty in the days of his flesh to do the Will of God; do compassion, do mercy, save, work on the Sabbath and the likes. Sometimes we are not free to think beyond the bondage of our minds. Death will catch up and destroy a person who does not believe in the values of the company he has found himself.
Isaiah 51:1-3
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Hebrews 12:5-8
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Every nation has their fathers. We are weak because we seem to have many fathers. A true bastard is one who is not fathered or raised by anybody. That you don’t know your father doesn’t mean you are a bastard; you could be raised by another father. Anyone who is without training is a bastard. The Gospel is the true Life. Men are the ones who invented the word ‘Christianity’ and using it as a demeaning word to describe a people who are living differently from the common way of life. But the Gospel is a way of life that is older than men. The true life must be embodied by some. For the Israelites, Jesus told them that they were born by Abraham but weren’t raised by Abraham rather they were raised by a murderer.
Nurture is important as strength flows through it. Looking unto the rock from where we have been hewn is how we can absorb the strength from the source. The problem of the world is that they are looking at the source. A single person’s life is not ultimately about marriage. When we carry marriage in our hearts it will wear us out. The way not to be distracted in our service to God is actually in singleness. There are things around us that look so serious such as having a good job or earning more but these won’t come by us easily because they have what they answer to. If our goal or pursuit is after the program of Eternal Life, things will work for our good. When you believe you can bear all things.
My will and intention is at stake. You will have to leave her for my will. You will have to let him go for my will sake. I have spoken to you by many that I am not with you in this journey you have decided to bear. My will will suffer by that which you have chosen. You will find for thyself in the juncture of my will. Let her go!
You have no time to consider in this matter. When you hear my voice harden not your heart. How long will you waste time on pulling things that don’t matter? Why have you taken things that are not in my will? My yoke is light and not burdensome. You have no time for the things that are hatch in my will for you. You are delaying your process. Do not waste your time anymore.
We need grace to be humble and not be rebellious. It is great love for God to deal with us the way he does. This purpose cleanses and saves. Taking the training of God sanctifies. The way to get it right is to bury your head and decide in your heart to be single. There are forces that even economy obeys. Creature obeys these forces. A force can take over our lives and make us get it right. Sometimes gathering many right instructions may not work if we don’t carry the gene of God. Many things that we don’t find strength to do are done without any ado when his strength is working in us.
Isaiah 51:3-6
For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
We should labour for the emergence of Zion. When we seek his salvation and righteousness it means something has taken us over. The strength of God should be our legal tender because it can never be abolished. It takes strength to do the Will of God and not change our lifestyles even when we move from one place to the other. We can be in a strange land but Zion is our destination. Righteousness is our strength. Because he is our strength, he is also our hope. Desiring the Holy will make us close our eyes against every other thing that seem right. Our trust (based on strength) should be in God and not our business ventures.
1 Timothy 6:17
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
Righteousness is a Life which if we keep staying in, Light will dawn on our hearts and strength to do the Will of God will be given. May we be strengthened with might in our inner man continually to do the Will. Amen!
