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.

THE MIND'S STATE,YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR FAITH

Your faith at a particular time is determined by the state of your spirit which can be affected by the predominant thoughts of the mind.What the mind concentrates more at any given time is energized by our actions which controls our activities.


Your spiritual life is a function of the state of your mind.A sad,discouraged,dejected mind make a weak faith.But a joyful,excited and optimistic mind make a strong faith.The Bible declares,

"THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK"


This is a sublime truth.The flesh that is weak is really the state of the mind.Paul told the Roman Christians to renew their minds in Romans 12:2.


When the mind is filled with carnal desires it makes you a carnal person because your spirit is out of tune with God or experiencing a low level.For this Romans 8 declares,


"FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH...BECAUSE THE CARNAL MIND IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD" Romans 8:6-7


This is the crux of the matter.So many are carnally minded and don't have that kind of spiritual experience that will stir up their faith to believe God for the incredible.


"FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD" ROMANS 10:17


When you are not spiritual inclined,it becomes difficult to receive divine illumination that will stir up your emotion and propel you to have that kind of faith that will activate the supernatural for that needed miracles.


When your mind is inclined to spiritual things,it receives an activation energy which stirs up the molecules of your emotions and makes your spirit very sensitive and powerful.


Have you noticed when you truly fast and pray,your mind becomes charged and your spirit is excited beyond normal?


What happens is that during fasting and prayers,you shut your mind to carnal pleasures and focus on God and spiritual activities.At this state,your mind is filled with heaven's energy and your faith frequency begins to vibrate at a higher level.Read Isaiah 58 about the power and effect of fasting and prayers.

But few days after the fast we seem to lose that esoteric touch or experience.we are back to square one with carnal pursuits or lifestyles which becomes predominant and which ultimately affects our spirit again.


There is need then to find a balance between our daily activities and our spiritual activities.As busy as we can be we must try and devote some time daily to spiritual things.


Let me give you an insight into how I do mine.Try and spend some time early in the morning at least 10 minutes before you dash out of the house.Mostly I pray in my mind at home.


Get an audio Bible and play in your phone or in your car as you go to work.


Be ever conscious of God at every moment of your life.Live in that consciousness.It stirs up or brings about heavenly euphoria in your being.


Sing melodious Gospel tune in your heart from time to time in your busy activities.


If you are like me burst out into tongues occasionally even though it's for 10 seconds.Do this several times a day.


Control what you listen to,watch or say daily.In your spare time,meditate about The Word of God and His goodness in your life.


Control your thoughts and never allow it to wonder away for long.Thoughts are things and have power to open your mind and life for negative infilling.


Find at least a day or two in a week and give yourself to fasting and serious prayers.These tips will really help your mind to be vibrating with divine energy which will empower your spirit to live a victorious life.


So we see that the mind's state determines the state of our spirit which eventual affects our level of faith in God.May God give you a better understanding than this.Jesus still is,

MY REGRETS IN LIFE

The greatest regret I have in life is knowing Jesus on time but not knowing the truth about enforcing my total freedom in Christ on time.

I was told when you become born again all battle is over as you live a holy life in Christ.

As a single person I was really on fire for God until I got married and started experiencing different unhappy things that made me to challenge my beliefs and go back to studying the Scriptures.

I then discovered the truth about life's freedom.Knowledge of the unknown is crucial if you want total peace in life.

When you have knowledge,your eyes are opened to life realities.You face practical issues not theories that many do today.It becomes easy for The Holy Ghost to reveal shocking things to you.You will sit tight in your spiritual life and hate bondage with a passion.

God looks on His children often and wonder when they will grow and come to the place of understanding.

I have often been disturbed about why many believers are in bondage and living a frustrated life.Many have been taught is the Cross they must carry.
Hmm!For how long will they carry it?

Until you come to the place of discernment and take your destiny into your hand like Jabez did in 1Chronicles 4:9-10,you may end your journey on earth outside divine plans.

But I have good news for you.The Word of God inspired by The Holy Ghost anchored on your spirituality is the catalyst you need to live a free life.The Rhema of The Word is like a dynamite.The more it hits you the more the strongholds of the enemies are destroyed in your life.It's high time you arise and possess your freedom.

What have you achieved this year?

Less than 43 days more.You can still achieve great things in the name of Jesus
