CALLED OF GOD OR APPOINTED BY MAN OR SELF

I shake my head in pity when I see so many people who call themselves Gospel Ministers and are still toddlers in spiritual issues.More pathetic are the ones who think ministry is about standing on the pulpit and reeling out charismatic and non-charismatic displays.

I have seen some go down the drain because they fail to be processed by the Holy Spirit.The ones I feel for most are those who have allowed charisma to becloud their senses of reasoning and have no strong regard for the place of characters.

Rev. Iretiola made a great statement when he said,

"WHAT BROUGHT MEN FROM GRACE TO GRASS FOLLOWED THEM FROM GRASS TO GRACE"

The first training for those genuinely called of God is TOTAL EMPTINESS. He will have to empty you of whatever you might rely upon and make you to trust in His grace than your abilities.

Those who have passed through the school of The Spirit don't rely upon their senses or their academic acumen to run the ministry.They rely totally on His help.

But what do we see this day? Men who rely more on their intellectual capacities and neglect the place of the Holy Spirit. Carnality in the churches is a direct result of carnal ministers ministering to carnal people.

When you are emptied of God the things of the world hold no sway over your life again because you want to live like the Master.When you are truly emptied, living carnally become a taboo. You only think of toying with sin when your spiritual life begins to read RED.

If there is one thing I fear about divine calling its that it's the most dangerous and delicate thing to accept.The Lord told me years ago,

"THERE ARE SOME MINISTERS WHO WOULD HAD MADE HEAVEN ASSUMING THEY DIDN'T ANSWER MY CALL BUT LIVED THE CHRISTIAN LIFE BUT BECAUSE THEY ANSWERED MY CALL AND ABUSED IT THEY LANDED IN HELL"

To be sincere with you all,if God can give me the opportunity to chose between MINISTRY and BUSINESS today I will gladly chose BUSINESS and drop MINISTRY.I say this with all sincerity.

If you know what ministry is all about you will quiver and ask God for more abundant mercy to do it in His own way. That is why I look at some ministers who just teach or say things that don't make people more spiritual in Christ,have no strong Bible backing and also encourage people to live a loose life or a sub-standard Christian life.

I was caught up in a trance years ago and I saw all ministers standing before the judgement throne of Christ. I saw a particular minister who was telling the one close to him of all his exploits for the kingdom and even went further to point to another minister who did not do as much as he did.

The man who was assumed to do nothing went before the throne and he was asked to enter into the rest of His Lord. I watched as the boastful minister went before the throne and He was told to depart into everlasting torment.He objected and referred to the other minister who was allowed to go in without doing much exploits as he did.It was then I came back into consciousness.

So many ministers have been carried away by their exploits for God that they fail to take into cognizance the exploits they are doing in conforming to the image of Christ. R.W Shambach  wrote a book many years ago titled,

HOW TO HEAL THE SICK,CAST OUT DEVILS, PERFORM MIRACLES AND STILL GO TO HELL

I recommend this book for all ministers to read.Rick Joyner in his books THE FINAL QUEST and THE QUEST are eye openers also.I will never forget the book written by Mike Murdock titled

MY ADVISE TO YOUNG MINISTERS

We need to be extra careful as ministers of the Gospel. I don't want to serve God and miss eternity.You better be sure that God called you before embarking on His mission.If you are not sure and the calling was forced on you by your G.O you had better humble yourself and drop such before you get yourself destroyed.

The demons sent against Gospel Ministers alone is shocking.This is the reason you see many ministers misbehaving seriously. I challenge all those who believe they are called to pray for personal encounter with the God they believed called them.Such encounters will really reduce the mess on our pulpits.God help us all.

My Jesus remains,

CONTENDING WITH HEAVENLY POWERS

Foreword to the Uncommon Book “PROPHETIC GUERRILLA WARFARE SERIES VOLUME 1”

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Spiritual warfare is real. This is one aspect many shy away from due the complexity of its nature. The devil has use ignorance to attack humanity especially believers in Christ. The believers in Christ have been losing the battles of life for so long because they have no idea of what goes on in the spirit realm and the destructive works the kingdom of darkness are perpetrating on earth today.

Life is one big mystery. Warfare prayers have been known to many. Many have been involved in warfare but are not seeing the results they so much desire. In this great book, my dear friend Apostle Francis Bazuaye has taking warfare prayers to another dimension entirely.

Prophetic Warfare Prayers is something many are not really familiar with and the few who are familiar with it are careful of revealing such lest they be termed false or occult prophets. In this great book my great friend through the grace of God has revealed what many are afraid of revealing for ages.

This no nonsense book deals ruthlessly with the powers of darkness holding the destinies of men in captivity. Life is all about war and those who can fight well will see their destinies takE shapes according to divine plans. Life is too short to take chances. You have only one life to live and that life must be fully maximized in God. It is true Jesus defeated the devil on the Cross of Calvary and gave the power to the church. The question we must then ask ourselves is this, if truly He conquered the devil why are believers still facing hell in life?
This should tell you that indeed Jesus conquered the devil in order to give us power to overcome him as well. The final doom of satan is still in Revelation 20:10

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever”

You see from the above the ministers that teach we don’t need to fight anything again are not sincere with themselves. They are just allowing the devil and his agents to waste the lives of people. Quite unfortunate, many believers have been killed and their lives rendered meaningless on planet earth. This is not the will of God and He is not happy with it.
In this great book, Apostle Francis reveals some deep truth why the devil is more interested in believers and how believers need to upgrade themselves also in Christ in order to have total victory over the gates of hell.
I have known Apostle Francis Bazuaye for over six years now and I must confess he is someone who has deep love for helping people in life especially those with serious spiritual problems. One thing I love and cherish about him is the passion he has for encouraging people. He is a dynamic young Apostle that God has raised to be among the great frontrunners of spiritual warfare in these last days. He carries an unusual grace and I must confess he has really made an impact in my life and ministry also.

In this unusual book inspired by the Holy Ghost, my friend has taking time to explain his convictions with The Bible and I full recommend this book to all both believers and unbelievers alike. This book will really change your life for the best and as he loves to say, YOU ARE NEXT IN LINE FOR JESUS UNUSUAL MIRACLES.
