Lift up your voice to the Most High God. Give Him praise, give Him all the glory, give Him the honour and the adoration. Make sure you celebrate the faithfulness of God. Thank Him from the depth of your heart.

Accept our thanksgiving in Jesus precious name we have given thanks.

We have been looking at this line of exhortation from yesterday entitled
RUNNING WITH THE PRICE IN VIEW
We started by understanding that every instruction from God requires strongness for maximum delivery. To make the most of anything that God says you must be instant in your response. The Bible makes it very clear to us concerning Abraham, every time Abraham received an instruction from God there was an instant response. God said ‘Get out of your father’s house to a place I will show you’
Genesis 12:1-3
Verse 4 the Bible tells us immediately after that Abraham departed.
Prompt action is the key to maximizing divine instruction.
We also recognize that every revelation requires a dive for delivery. When God unveils something, it is those who dive in first that makes the most of it.
John 5:1-4
There is a demand for a dive to take delivery of every revelation anyone carries. That is why we must understand that procrastination is one of the worst enemies of destiny. Procrastination, ‘I will do it later’, it is one of the worst enemies of destiny. Those who are prompt in response ultimately maximize their destiny.
That’s why it becomes so particular as we commence this operation which started yesterday in this week to dive in first, to plunge in first and as we do so you can be sure that the blessings that are packaged within it will begin answering for you in the name of Jesus.
To be a prize winner there are particular requirements that we must fulfill. We have been looking at that yesterday and we will continue today. The most important one we are looking at today is
1- Engage with your heart in your pursuit of any vision. You must engage with your heart in pursuit of any vision.
2nd Chronicles 16:9
God is always looking at the heart of man. Before God weighs your act he will first check your heart. The actions that you take are only as valuable as the perfection of your heart.
When your heart is out of place your actions are nullified. That is why you must understand the necessity of positioning and engaging with your heart.
The Bible tells us in the Book of
Jeremiah 17:19
So very clearly according to God’s Word for anyone to see returns from their actions, their engagement, their heart is first evaluated by God. God is interested in the state of your heart. Until your heart is in perfect state you are not permitted to experience God’s manifestation. So it’s all about the heart. It’s all about the heart. It is not just about the act. There are people who are full of activities but their hearts are not connected.
The Bible tells us in
Isaiah 29:11-13
They have taken their hearts far. The vision is there, the agenda is there. God’s purpose is there, however their heart is far and as a result of the distance of their hearts what the vision contains cannot be manifested in their lives.
It is important for us to understand that God is very intentional about His manifestation. He locates those whose hearts are perfectly connected to Him. That is why a person can be full of activity and will lack God’s manifestation because he lacks heart connectivity. The connectivity of the heart is what matters fundamentally to God.
The Bible says that ‘God is a God of knowledge by whom actions are weighed’. Not every action weighs the same. The weight of your action is determined by the connectivity of your heart, so that two people are doing the same thing physically does not mean they will see the same thing manifested in their direction. What will make the difference is whether in that physical activity they have heart connectivity.
The heart connectivity is what makes the difference. Two people pray Kingdom advancement prayers and each one pray for an hour, one of the two, his heart is connected the entire time, the other one for one minute out of the one hour, they cannot get the same result.
Two people go out for soul winning and one of them his entire heart is in it, the other one is only doing it because he’s required to do it, the two cannot get the same result. It is a matter of the heart. Somebody has said that the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart.
Until your heart is involved there cannot be the manifestation of God. This is too critical and vital for us to understand. It is a requirement for your heart to be connected. We must learn to pursue any Kingdom agenda as servants of Christ doing the will of God for the heart.
Ephesians 6:6
There are many people who are men pleasers, who have engaged themselves in eye service. Eye service means serving when the eye is watching. As long as somebody is seeing activity is maximum. But God says that the one that will be rewarded is the one that is a true servant of Christ doing the will of God from the heart. So it means that if your heart is not involved you might as well not be physically involved.
Your involvement will only be profitable when your heart is engaged. I pray that for each one of us from this day onward your heart will be engaged at every point in time in the name of Jesus.
Now what are some of the returns of spiritual stewardship?
1- It’s peace that passes all understanding.
Ephesians 6:15
In soul winning you are sowing peace and the Kingdom of God makes a profound law and that law is that whatsoever a man does that is what he will real. So in the Kingdom as we go forth advancing we are sowing seeds of peace.
Luke 10:5
The gospel is the gospel of peace. It is a seed of peace and you cannot sow peace and lack peace. Anyone that is a part of preaching the gospel is a part of planting peace in the hearts of men and when peace is planted, peace must be experienced. So you cannot be a peace planter and then be a peace lacker. You must have peace.
The power of peace is this.
Exodus 14:14
When you are at peace God begins to take over the matters of your life. It fights your battles on your behalf. That will be somebody’s experience here.
As you engage in serving God you are sowing the seeds of peace and thereby reaping the harvest of peace and as a result of that enjoying a life of victory. My prayer for each one of us is that from this day onward as the peace of God begin to saturate your life you’ll begin to experience sweatless victory on every side.
2- Supernatural Breakthroughs.
Luke 5:1-8
Peter got a boat sinking order of breakthrough by reason of his service. Your spiritual stewardship qualifies you for spiritual breakthrough. We just heard the testimony of someone that said as they were serving God, it looked at if nothing was happening, he said however they continued and as a result of that God visited them with supernatural breakthrough because of Kingdom stewardship. I see somebody that will receive such supernatural breakthrough testimonies as an outcome of your spiritual stewardship.
You can’t serve God with your all and not have all added to you.
Matthew 6:33
As you give Him your all in serving Him all things are added back unto you.
That will be somebody’s experience here.
Will you rise with me on your feet this morning, lift your hands and you voice, Lord I receive grace for full scale engagement in order to take delivery of the blessings that are loaded in this season. Lift your voice and pray that prayer from the depth of your heart.
There is no prophetic season without a blessing to deliver.
Receive grace for full scale engagement in order to take delivery of all that this prophetic season has offer.
This is not a time to look around. It’s time to engage your heart calling upon the name of the Lord. Lift up your hands and begin to give glory to God. Thank Him from the depth of your heart. Father thank You in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
-From this day onward I see fresh fire coming upon your spiritual altar in the name of Jesus. To serve God effectively in prayer, to serve Him effectively in soul winning.
-That grace is replenished upon your life.
-You will never be lukewarm again in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-Your fervency shall be on the increase in the name of Jesus.
-So shall it be for you in the name of Jesus precious name of Jesus Christ.
SPEAK TO THE DAY
Make your declarations known. Whatever you declare God will deliver. Speak to it right now.
-This day is blessed.
-A day of testimonies.
-A day of visitations.
-A day of encounters.
-A day of fruitfulness in the name of Jesus.
-A day of results.
Lord I speak right now concerning this day as a blessed day in Jesus name we have prayed.
By the name of Jesus according to every declaration that you have made, this day opens unto you.
-It is declared a day of fruitfulness, a day of good tidings in the name of Jesus Christ. So shall it be in Jesus precious name. Amen and amen. It is done.
Don’t forget the operation is on. Dive in on the altar of prayer, on the harvest field and as you do so God will begin decorating you supernaturally in Jesus precious name.
