Heeding The Call of Righteousness
We should not blindly follow men who are not following Christ. We have a responsibility to pay attention to our training and growth else, we will never be able to fulfil our purpose. (1 Cor. 11:1)
We must be able to silence the voice of the enemy and follow God, knowing that this world will never be receptive to what God is doing. Following God’s order and directive for our life must be a must. ( Lk. 18:22; 9:23)
We are a church that must not disappoint God. There are periods where all we need is endurance till we overcome the life of corruption. God wants us to receive the preparation of the battle of life, this is why we are in church. (Phil. 1:28)
Corruption is a monster, it is beyond any system of this world. Most men have become knowledgeable demons by reason of corruption that has eaten deep into them so we must not be contented with knowledge, but must seek the very life of God. (2 Pet. 1:5-7)
The filthiness of the flesh has a root in the filth of the soul. A corrupt soul does not need encouragement, rather, it needs cleansing.
God is raising a new breed of men without corruption, those who will turn the kingdom of this world to the kingdom of His Christ. We are world-shakers and must be ready for it.
God looks for avenues to deal with corruption in us, and we must cooperate with this process as some situations are needed to reveal levels of darkness in us. We must stand for the values of the Kingdom and defend it from Satan’s invasion.
God is preparing us for something, we are not merely living life. We must know where we are going and what we want to become. Most times we want to become everything except what God wants for our life but God is releasing His strength into us for the fulfillment of His purpose.
God wants us to brace up to be able to bear responsibility in the kingdom of God. Though we have been called to a life that is different from what the world knows, we are not meant to be controversial by our decisions.
We have been called not to show off but to show forth the praise of God who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light. (1 Pet. 2:9)
God who has brought us to Himself wants to use us as an extension of the program in His heart. We have many who want to show off and not enough of those who desire to show forth His praise. (1 Sam. 17:1, Prov.13:12)
Most times, we are not concerned about the things that God is concerned about, but God seeks men who are passionate for God and feel His heartbeat.
For God’s life to come to us, we must be willing to sacrifice; deny ourselves and crucify our flesh. (Ps. 50:5, Gal. 2:20)
God is preparing us for something, we are not merely living life. We must know where we are going and what we want to become. Most times we want to become everything except what God wants for our life but God is releasing His strength into us for the fulfillment of His purpose.
The army of God is a people who are not living their lives to fulfil their personal interests but have signed out their lives to live for the kingdom of God. (Col. 1:21)
We have many criminals in the church because we have unrenewed minds and we don’t do things for the glory of God but for our glory. (2 Ki. 5:11, Phill. 1:28)
God is working on raising messengers who will preach the message of deliverance. We are that people so we should not run away for the fear of what people will think; this is a civilian attitude as Jesus Himself was rejected by His own people.
The job of ministers is to raise unto the Lord the people He brings to them, and not to be sentimental about them to raise them for their own profit.
We must stop allowing the enemy to harass and oppress us when we are actually the answers to the present predicament on the earth and we must be raised to become that answer. (1 Sam. 17:9)
We can block the access of the devil into our hearts when we begin to align with God’s will for us. (Gen. 4:7, Jos. 22:20)
We should not be easily bullied by the devil, we should be troublers of his kingdom until he is wearied by us. We are a generation of people that must be ready to shut down the gates of hell. (2 Cor. 12:10, Heb. 5:7)
It does not matter what the devil is bringing from the outside, we must be constantly aware that we have the greater one on the inside. (1 Jn. 4:4)
God’s principle is to displace the enemy when men have been raised to replace them. We must race to be raised so we can be used by God, or else our enemies won’t be brought down. (Rom. 8:19)
We must no longer allow the enemy to draw a limiting line in our lives; we must either be for or against him. (1 Sam. 17:12, Ps. 24:1)
There are times when it appears that nothing is going on within us but we must not lose guard, we must look beyond the external. (1 Tim. 5:22)
The awareness of our journey will make us to guard what we have jealously. We must not trade it for silver or gold. The Lord is working to birth in us a militant spirit in us that will not take failure as an answer.
We must consider how we got to our present estate in the spirit for our foundations to be fortified. Our ignorance of the true worth of our salvation can make us trade our salvation for something less. (Ps. 11:3)
God wants to hide Himself in us to fight the battle ahead, this has nothing to do with our background or history. It is His calling over us. (1 Sam. 17:12-15)
There is no way we can displace the workings of Satan if the throne of Christ is not raised in our hearts. We must no longer live for ourselves but for the revelation of the glory of God. (2 Cor. 5:14)
This battle is not a battle of muscle or physical strength but of power, love and a sound mind. (Eph. 6:12, 2 Cor. 10:3-5, 2 Tim. 1:7)
Every step of obedience is a product of a battle in the place of prayer that has been fought and won in the realm of the spirit; this is how we can remain in God’s will for our lives.
When we have been trained to receive life, we should start with our homes before we take the message of life to the nations.
Our job is to connect men to life and relationship with God, this is a product (life) we ought to sell to men who cannot see it, thus, we must have a conviction in ourselves to be able to turn men.
God is the only true God because He has given that which no one else can give. We cannot live the life of heaven on earth without the life of the Father. When we are enlisted to the armies of God, it means we have been connected to the life of the Father. (1 Jn. 5:20, Jn. 10:10, Matt. 6:9)
God intends that we come to know the truth of Salvation. If we do not know how we got to our present estate, we cannot stand firm. (1 Tim. 2:4, Rom. 5:1, 2 Cor. 5:21, Isa. 1:18)
