*My spirit man jumps when I hear somebody’s rescue story: this is it, this is what I saw, somebody weeping, wailing, agonizing; God came down and turned their stories around.
- It is no big deal for God to double the attendance of this Church by 2nd May 2021
Simple Arithmetic:
What is in double other than each member bringing one person
Or 50 percent of the members bringing two persons
Or 25 percent of the members bringing four persons.
Heartfelt engagement is key to reaching out to Heaven. We don’t find God just by seeking for Him, we only find Him by seeking for Him with all our hearts (Jeremiah 29:13).
Always ensure therefor that your heart is in what your mouth is saying, that what your mouth is saying is coming from your heart.
“I danced till I knew that God has heard me”; “I prayed till I knew that God has heard”: Now, anybody can get to that point. Anyone can get to the point.
Lord, help me to remain fervent in spirit as I seek after You, in prayers, in searching of scriptures.
Many just read it (scriptures) like newspapers. They are not in touch, they are in Church, but they are not in touch.
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to remain fervent in spirit in my fellowship with you; in my followership of you; in my pursuit of you and the interest of your Kingdom.
Pray that prayer from the depth of your heart. It is not the noise but the depth you are reaching out to God.
Jesus, I desire today an outpouring of grace for fervency of spirit in my fellowship and followership of You all the days of my life. Jesus, engrace me today for sustainable fervency in spirit on the altar of prayer, in my searching of scriptures, in my pursuit after souls. Jesus, unleash to me the grace for sustainable fervency in spirit. Thank You Father. In Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Heavenly Father, I pray this morning that you will endue everyone of us, everyone under the sound of my voice this morning with grace for sustainable fervency in spirit. Let there be no more casual engagement in the life of anyone. Grant everyone of us extreme focus at every time in your presence. Thank You Father. In Jesus precious name we have prayed.
ENGAGING THE GOD OF SPEED THROUGH THE ALTAR OF PRAYERS
You don’t need speed sitting down, you need speed for running. If you are not set to run, there is no point asking for speed. There is no speedy sitting down and it is interesting that no agenda of Heaven for us as individuals and as a Church will ever see the light of day without a run.
“Write the vision, make it plain on tables that he may RUN” – Habakkuk 2:2
It is God’s agenda but it takes a run to experience its actualization.
“I know it will happen someday” – It won’t happen except you are running. For the vision is for an appointed time, as you run it shall come to pass. Though it tarries, keep running for it shall surely come to pass as you keep running (Habakkuk 2:3).
So you don’t need speed sitting down, you only need speed when you are on the Run to see God’s plan and purpose in your life, for your life, in the Church delivered.
God has shown many of us quite a few things in life but they are not there because it takes a Run. You don’t win a prize sitting down in a race. You don’t win a prize in a race standing by. You win the race engaging in the run.
“…So Run, that ye may obtain” – 1 Corinthians 9:24
Now, it is a Year of Supernatural Turnaround but there are factors that guarantee delivery so run with them. Run with them.
When the Lord turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with singing. And then we became the talk of the town (Psalm 126:1-3).
Turn again our captivity O Lord (Psalm 126:4)
They that sow in tears are the candidates for supernatural turnarounds (Psalm 126:5)
“Bearing precious seed” – running with the demands of scriptures, can I hear your Amen! (Psalm 126:6).
The Turnaround is not there sitting down. Church Gist. No, it is there with you and me engaging with the demands of scriptures.
Turnaround is not for Jack and Harry, it is not for all that hear it, it is for all that will engage with the demand that delivers it.
It is our Year of Supernatural Turnaround and our Launch into our Promised Land but to secure a place in your Promised Land: “Love the Lord with all your heart, serve Him with a pure heart and with…” (Deuteronomy 11:13).
Your residency places obvious demand: to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul and you are there.
We are not fighting as uncertainly. There are things we must engage with, to see God’s Agenda for our life come to pass. I think we can even stop there.
Don’t pray for speed sitting down, pray for speed as you run with the demands of scriptures for the hour. As you run with prophetic dictates for the moment.
Now watch, if “I God of Wonder Double is visiting you” was received, documented and celebrated:
Oh my God, it was an awesome experience. He just walked to my room, My God, Amen, Hallelujah. We will be dancing round the same spot till now.
Hey folks, this is what I heard from God, now let’s get ready: One weeklong fast.
Now let’s get ready: Move in the morning, move in the afternoon. Morning Raid, Evening Raid. Running!!
(If) you are not a runner, you don’t need speed. You don’t need speed sleeping.
You lay on your bed, “Oh God, grant me speed.”
He will say, “Do What? To sleep, no you don’t speed to sleep. Just close your eyes and feel like somebody who has nothing to do then you’ll sleep.”
So even after all these prayers, all you do is to just (say), “I thank God. God of speed is at work in our midst.” Is He (God) at work in your life?
No matter who that person is, no matter the anointing, no matter the height of calling:
“I am an Apostle” – well done. Are you engaging in an Apostolic Run? You have to, otherwise you don’t win the prize in it.
Everyone in this Church is ordained a Prize Winner this year.
-May your prize not go to another person.
-May another man not take your crown.
Get ready for a run of your life if you must be listed among the prize winners. Church Gist. Get ready for a run of your life.
The whole city of Nineveh came under conviction within 3 days because somebody had speed walking through the city for 3 days, not sleeping in his house (Jonah 3:3-10).
God gave Him speed as he (Jonah) delivered the Lord’s message on the run. There was such a revival that never happened in history. Livestock were made to get into a fast (Jonah 3:7).
We didn’t have that anywhere else because somebody first missed it, then eventually got it and picked race, headed for Nineveh to deliver the message that God gave Him even though it didn’t make any much sense. But God stepped in and granted Jonah divine speed.
-You will enjoy divine speed.
For anyone who truly desires to engage with the demands of the hour, divine speed is your portion. Amen.
Abraham’s servant prayed for speed; took steps to actualize that speed and God granted him that speed because there was no trial by error (Genesis 24:12). The first person he asked, not that first, second, third and fifth and then number 7 was the one that responded (Genesis 24:15-16).
There is a way you pray for speed that you meet 3 people in a day and the 3 of them surrender to Christ by taking delivery of divine speed from the altar of prayer. Church Gist.
Divine speed is also empowered by light (Isaiah 60:1-2).
Light dispels darkness with speed. Light will dispel darkness with speed. As soon as you turn on light in your room, darkness flees at the same instance and we provoke access to light on the altar of prayer.
“Then shall thy light break forth as the morning” – through the altar of prayers and fasting (Isaiah 58:8)
And because light engenders speed, when we gain access to light, we have secured divine speed for our desired turnaround.
“Open thou my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law” (Psalm 119:18). Jesus walked with them, they never knew Him because their eyes were holden but when you engage in prayers and fasting, it blasts the holding of your eyes so you can see clearly.
The world talks about the speed of light, that is Word Encounter gives light which offers access to divine speed. The entrance of thy Word gives light and gives understanding to the simple (Psalm 119:130).
“Speak the Word only” and the Word was spoken, his servant was made whole the selfsame hour.
When light breaks forth from the Word, divine speed is the result and that happens by engaging on the prayer altar for light.
It is no big deal therefore for God to double the attendance of this Church on or before May 2nd 2021 with everyone taking his and her position to secure to his or her own portion.
I wonder what kind of world we are living:
What is in double other than each member bringing one.
Or 50 percent of the members bringing two, two.
Or 25 percent of the members bringing four, four.
It is very simple arithmetic sir.
But wherever a man’s heart is or his treasure is, there is heart will be also. It’s time for us to engage our hearts in truth and in deed. Not just being part of a crowd but each one to single himself out for the change he genuinely claims to desire.
Awesome God, He is right in our midst. It is clear.
-You will not miss your encounters with Him.
Here is what God is saying, “as He cried they will not hearken, so they will cry and I will not listen” (Zechariah 7:13).
May God give you attention this year by giving attention to His instructions.
You will hear Me first before I will hear you. You won’t hear Me, I won’t hear you. You can cry your throat out, it won’t make a difference. To obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams (1 Samuel 15:22).
-Grace to keep attending to His instructions so He can attend to your situations, attend to your issues; receive it now in the name of Jesus.
Prayer: Pray that your portion this year will not go to another, that your place this year will not be lost to carelessness. Pray for fervency of engagement, pray for heartfelt engagement.
The race is on, the winners are emerging. You must be listed among the Winners in this race this year. In the name of Jesus Christ.
God was speaking some humorous things to me, this is a celebration of the Liberation Mandate: now let’s honour the Giver of this Mandate by engaging in a rescue of souls to prove that He is still very much in our midst.
Let each one here determine, “Lord before the anniversary that begins on the 2nd (May 2021), give me at least one established soul.” But to whom much is given, much is required. At least one (soul).
I want to be part of those who are celebrating your faithfulness. At least one (soul). Our Mission is a Rescue Mission, absolutely. Church Gist. It is not a crowd gathering Mission, it is a rescue mission.
When I hear somebody’s rescue story, my spirit man jumps: this is it, this is what I saw. Somebody was weeping, somebody was wailing, somebody was agonizing: You came down; You raised them; You turned their story around.
Prayer: Express your own desire, I don’t know what you have talked to God before about your own desire. I must meet You with at least one rescued soul established in this Church. I must meet with you at least one rescued soul. So grant me speed Jesus. I don’t want to be standing by in a race, I want to be right in the centre of the race. I want to be on the track myself, so help me Jesus. Supply me your grace to experience this in the name of Jesus.
Give Him thanks everyone.
SPEAK TO THE DAY:
Today is just Wednesday, we have quite some 2, 3 days more for the week to over. Ask God, on this prayer and fasting day, God I need your speed. Show me the light, the way to go, to actualize this agenda in my life.
