IF YOU REFUSE TO PRESS, YOU WILL BE OPPRESSED!
WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT YOUR REST AND BEST, THERE IS A NEW LEVEL!
REMEMBER THAT SUCCESS THAT IS NOT UPDATED WILL SOON BE OUTDATED! SUCCESS THAT IS NOT UPGRADED WILL SOON BE DEGRADING!
NO MATTER HOW FATAL A FAILURE IS, IT IS NOT FINAL!
FAILURE IS A GUIDE, IT’S NOT A GRAVE!
PEOPLE HARDLY REMEMBER YOUR LAST SUCCESS; THEY ARE LOOKING AT YOUR CURRENT RATING!
EVEN IF THERE IS A CHALLENGE, THE OPPOSITION IS FOR YOUR ‘UP-POSITIONING’!
A FAILURE IN AN EVENT IS NOT A FAILURE IN PERSON!
SETTLEMENT DOES NOT HAVE TO DO WITH WEDDINGS ALONE, THAT IS THE LEAST INTERPRETATION OF SETTLEMENT!
SUCCESS IS LIKE CHEWING GUM! EAT IT WHEN IT IS SWEET AND KNOW WHEN TO THROW IT AWAY!
ENEMIES DON’T CHANGE THEIR MIND! THEY ONLY CHANGE THEIR METHOD!
TOO MUCH ANALYSIS WILL LEAD TO PARALYSIS!- OPEN THE DOOR!
YOU DON’T NEED TO HAVE EVERYTHING TO MAKE MOVES, YOU HAVE TO MAKE MOVES TO HAVE EVERYTHING!
TURN YOUR PROBLEM TO PROPHECY AND DESTINY! TURN YOUR MATTER TO MANTLE! TURN YOUR TRIALS TO TRIUMPH!
YOU CAN’T BE GIFTED AND BE FRUSTRATED!
BEHIND EVERY LIFTING IS THE GIFTING OF MAN! MOVE IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR GIFT!
IF YOU NEED EVERYDAY ENCOURAGEMENT, YOU ARE ON THE WRONG PATH!
UNTIL PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU ARE MAD, YOU HAVE NOT STARTED!
-Bishop Wisdom Irabor on “DIVINE MOVEMENT FOR ALL ROUND SETTLEMENTS!” || Answers Assembly Warri || First Sunday Service
-In one minute, thank Him for the progress that you have made so far. There are people that you met on the journey of life and they are nowhere to be found, some of them have gone into oblivion but you are still kicking!
In the place of prayer this morning, I heard God say, “I want to push my people forward as if the year just began! Church Gist. I want to give them the progress that they have never experienced since the year began. I want to compress eleven months and give them in one month, between now and when the year ends, they will experience 2022 progress- there will be no carryover”. He said, “Anoint them for the capacity to deliver”.
-Carry the capacity to deliver!
In Isaiah 37, it said, “The people have come to birth, but they lack the power to bring forth”. There is nothing as frustrating as carrying the greatness that you cannot deliver! You need the anointing, because by the arm of flesh no man can prevail!
-As the oil comes upon you, deliver greatness and progress!
DIVINE MOVEMENT FOR ALL ROUND SETTLEMENTS! Exodus 14:13-14.
-I speak to you as your Moses, may you go forward!
No settlement, achievement and accomplishment comes without movement!
-May God move you in the right direction!
What does movement implies?
1.Never allow anything to stop you else you will be in one spot!
2.Refuse for your life to be tied down! Church Gist. Is it a wrong relationship, association, mindset or whatsoever! Whatever ties your life in one spot is your fault!
- Keep taking steps!
- Make intelligent moves.
-Every foolish step that is taking your steps backward, you are completely delivered!
Two things you must move away from?
1.Move away from your last success Philippians 3:10-14. Where you are is good, but it is not perfect! I know that your having children can be a testimony, but don’t stop there!
Your children can now have a colorful and enviable future. I know that your children are already doing well, but you can touch other people’s children, you can become an outreach to other families! If you refuse to press, you will be oppressed! Church Gist. Where you are is not your rest and best, there is a new level! Micah 2:10.
-Before people finish celebrating your former success, a new success will hit them!
No matter how successful that you are, there is still something ahead of you that God wants you to achieve! Remember that success that is not updated will soon be outdated! Success that is not upgraded will soon be degrading! Who told you that you cannot get multiple streams of income? Church Gist. You can open a second shop and company!
2.Move away from your last failure Micah 7:8. Have you heard it before that the downfall of a man is not the end of his life? Church Gist. No matter how fatal a failure is, it is not final! Don’t stop where life stopped you! Failure is a guide, it’s not a grave!
I read a book many years ago written by John Maxwell titled: Failing forward! You can still be failing and be moving forward! Church Gist. Move away from your last failure, there is a better life! Choir, you sang well this Sunday, please don’t settle there! There is a new song, service and program; otherwise the last one that you sang well, will be forgotten by people. People hardly remember your last success; they are looking at your current rating!
-May God give you the capacity for current relevance today! You shall never be obsolete in this life!
Three ways to make the move for all round settlement?
1.Trust God for Divine direction 1 Samuel 30:8. Divine direction is the key to your destination, God must direct you at all times! Trust Him! There is something that God is still saying! Church Gist. All losses and regrets in life come from man directing himself! Proverbs 3:5-6. No matter how skillful you are, you can’t direct yourself!
God must direct you Jeremiah 10:23. Don‘t make a move because people said, ‘Move’. Trust God for that move! It is not for man to direct His step! Church Gist. Even if there is a challenge, the opposition is for your ‘up-positioning’! The challenge is for your next level!
- Never over celebrate any success! Our nine years anniversary is over, we have celebrated the success of that program, and we need to now begin to take steps towards the tenth year anniversary. We need to believe in God that when the Answers Assembly is ten, all that we saw collectively and individually for nine years will be little compared to all that we will see in the tenth year!
-The next twelve months shall be bigger than the last nine years!
Never over lament any failure Proverb 4:18, 1 Kings 18:43-45. Separate failure from your person, it is an event that failed, you didn’t fail! A failure in an event is not a failure in person! Until you have done it seven times and failed, that is when we can begin to think that you are a failure! Church Gist. One of the signs that you are a righteous person is to fall seven times!
Jesus met a woman called the woman at the well of Samaria. He said, “My daughter, I know that you are not ready for what I want to say, you have been married five times!” Church Gist. He didn’t say, ” You have done boyfriend and girlfriend five times”. I love that woman, the first one failed and she entered the second one! Second one failed, and she entered the third one!
When Jesus came, He recognised and endorsed the whole five marriages. And they said to you, “It was because you failed five times that your life ended!” It’s a lie! Church Gist. The New Testament Christ that we follow identified with a woman who has married for five times!
In some Churches, that woman cannot preach, pray and lead! But Jesus said, “You will lead a crusade today!” That woman led a crusade and a revival! She went into the town and told everybody about Christ! If it were some of you, you would be crying that the first, second and the third one failed. She became a prophetess! Church Gist. Turn your problem to prophecy and destiny! Turn your matter to mantle! Turn your trials to triumph!
She did not stop there, she became an evangelist! She was one of the greatest evangelists in the Scripture! One woman who has failed in five marriages pulled the entire city for Christ! Church Gist. What are you doing with your profession and failure? She would have been mourning and saying, “See what life has done to me!”- Not for her! She became an evangelist!
-For where you shed the last tears, may you become the tears wiper in your generation!
Success is like chewing gum! Eat it when it is sweet and know when to throw it away! If you don’t throw it away when you should throw it away, your jaw will ache! And what was once sweet will become a problem! That’s why I don’t eat it. Because you over-celebrated the sweetness, the sweetness became a problem!
-I don’t know what you have achieved, you have over-celebrated it, but God said that there is a new one!
You have a first degree, the sweetness has disappeared, go for a master’s degree! You have a master’s degree, the sweetness has disappeared, go for a postgraduate diploma and doctor of Philosophy- Don’t stop there! You had one company, open the second one! You failed before? Try again!
In fact, if you have never failed in life, I will never believe in you! You have never been tested and you have never been tried!
3.Always move in the direction of your skill, talent, passion and training! A man cried a few months ago in my office and said, “Bishop, my friends are laughing at me everyday saying, ‘where is my Papa’! I said wait! It’s okay to cry before your Prophet! And then I said, “I’ll serve you communion!” Church Gist. Because I see an arrow that was shot at you from a demonic coven- An arrow of rise and fall! I prayed for him and did a blood of sprinkling for him in my office there, and two weeks later, he came to show me papers for eight acres of land bought by himself in a choiced area!- The restoration was sudden!
-Whatever that has made you cry, you will bounce back! You will not end your life where your enemies want you to end it!
You can’t be gifted and be frustrated! Proverb 17:8. Behind every lifting is the gifting of man! There is a gift, talent, training and passion in you! Move in the direction of your gift! Church Gist. Proverb 18:16. That your gift and skill, don’t bury it! Take steps along that line!
After the anniversary, I broke down and needed to rest my body. Mama called me that a particular Pastor sent a message that he wants me to preach at their convention that evening. My body and voice was not at the right frequency at that time! Church Gist. But when I read the text on Mama’s phone, where the energy came from, I don’t know! I jerked up immediately, preached at the covention and returned at 8:30pm. As long as you operate within your gifting, talent, Calling and passion, you are not finished!
The reason why the enemies stop you is because you always love doing what is not in line with what you love! After the preaching, I went ahead to pray for a member who was sick! See the person who is tired and is praying for another person who is challenged! You know why you need encouragement? Church Gist. You are always acting contrary to your gift, training, passion and Calling! If you need everyday encouragement, you are on the wrong path!
If you are in the right job, when it is time to do it, a Supernatural strength and energy will hit you! I still got home at 9pm and began to prepare for this Message that I am delivering today! Church Gist. By 4 am, I woke up to prepare for the Second Service! I don’t need any encouragement!
What are the three benefits of making moves?
-For the energy that you need for your next level! Take it now!
1.You make progress, no matter how little!
2.You gain experience, exposure and expertise! Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed, I have only discovered ten thousand ways that won’t work!”
3.That movement may turn out to be the answer to your biggest prayer! Until people think that you are mad, you have not started! Acts 12:12-17. They will say, “Under this Buhari government, you want to be a millionaire, you are mad! You want to be travelling abroad as if you are going to Ughelli, you are mad!”
-In this November, may God do something that your enemies will doubt!
And people will say, We no know when em get belle, travel abroad and bought car!- We no know when em happen!”
-May ‘we no know testimonies’ happen to you!”
If they know, them go spoil am oo. Wear your cloth cover the belle oo, carry it codedly but when the thing manifests, e go shock them!
-The thing that you have prayed for, this service has given it to you! Your answer is coming sooner than you expect! May your greatness surprise all your enemies!
You will come out before this year is over,
and they will look at the car, house, your dressing and the things that you do! They will say, “It is not possible! This is not her!” Some will say, “Na she, look am well! And some out of shame will come and greet you! Accept them but be vigilant! Receive them, celebrate with them and relate with them but be vigilant! Because the enemy that does not want to see your greatness will always fight your greatness when they manifest! So in the midst of your greatness, maintain your vigilance!- Church Gist. Never forget yourself! Enemies don’t change their mind! They only change their method! And when they change their method, you will think that they have changed their mind! They still want to strike!
-You will not go back to the enemy God delivered you from!
-There is a miracle knocking at your door!
There is a miracle knocking at your door but you will need to go and open the door! God will not open the door for you! You will take a step!
So this Oil is an empowerment for doors to open! Church Gist. You have prayed for Peter to come, so it is time for you to go and open the door for your Peter to come in! Your Peter is waiting for you to open the door!
Too much analysis will lead to paralysis!- open the door! Imagine if you had not done the things that you did in the last two years, the money would have been used for other things! But you can see the project, land and business! That money for land could go for other things, take steps, make moves! Church Gist. You don’t need to have everything to make moves, you have to make moves to have everything!
-Before this year is over, at the end of this year’s thanksgiving service on the 11th December, your testimony will be, “Look at me!” Even a blind person will see that God has blessed you!
-Take open doors, take the Oil of progress! Retrogration and stagnation dies! May the God of settlement settle you this day in every area!
Settlement does not have to do with weddings alone, that is the least interpretation of settlement! It has to do with settlements, financially and geographically! Church Gist. Your landlady and landlord are coming, and you are running? You need settlement territorial!
-Any area where you need settlement, let this Oil settle you!
-As you anoint your two feet, walk into progress!
-In the same place where you saw shame, you will see fame!
