* YOU DON’T HAVE TO MAKE NOISE TO MAKE NEWS.
* Just make moves of obedience.
* God said, “THIS IS THE PLACE”, on the move to Canaanland but He didn’t reveal what will happen when we get there.
* You don’t build a Church in the forest away from where people reside!
* How do you put the two together? You are building something for people, away from the people!
* God does not owe you any answer to your questions, He only demands obedience.
* Before this season is over, many Newsmakers will emerge from this platform and you are one of them.
OBEDIENCE SPEAKS LOUDER THAN VOICE.
Maybe you have ever considered that while Jesus asked them to fill the water pots with water, He didn’t tell them what will happen at the end.
“Fill the water pots with water” – you fools!
You said, “you want wine.”
I said, ‘fill the water pots with water”
John 2:7
No question, no comment, no remarks. Simple and raw obedience.
“Take a cup full from that pot and give it to the chairman of the reception” (John 2:8).
No question, no comments, no remarks.
Questions such as: what will I call it when I give it to him, ‘water or wine’?
No voice involved. The Bible says, this is the beginning of miracles that Jesus did and manifested forth His glory. Every testimony is a manifestation of His glory (John 2:11).
You don’t have to make a noise to make news. Just make moves of obedience and you have committed God’s integrity to manifest his glory.
Obedience will always provoke the manifest presence of God which is the master key to a world of noiseless breakthroughs.
Blind man: Go to the pool called Siloam and wash (John 9:7).
He didn’t say when you wash you will see. He (blind man) went, washed and came back seeing. No questions, no comments, no remarks.
How should I wash? Should I put my hand in the water and put my face? Or should I put my face inside the water? How will I get there by the way?
No questions, no comments, no remarks: simple and raw obedience.
… and I will manifest Myself to him (John 14:21).
The (blind) man went, washed and came back seeing with a testimony, “one thing I know, once I was blind, now I can see”
“He is a sinner”
Response: You are the one who taught us that God does not hear sinners. Will you also be His disciples?
He (blind man) just went wild for Jesus.
Raw obedience: no questions, no comments, no remarks.
Obedience speaks louder than voice.
“Tell them to go forward”; they went forward and the Red Sea parted way.
The Psalmist, being a prophet painted that picture in Psalm 114.
Obedience invokes divine presence that will always culminate in the supernatural. God manifesting His glory.
Obedience speaks louder than voice!!
“Make for me first”; there was continuous supply all through the days of famine for the widow of Zarephath.
God will always manifest His glory with our obedience.
Obedience to God’s commandment is gateway to having all our needs in life met. They may not appear as correlating, relevant but that is where the answer is.
… ALL these blessings addressing ALL the needs of life shall come on thee and overtake thee (Deuteronomy 28:1-2).
Our obedience is God’s platform for meeting all our needs.
Whatever He tells you to do when His hour comes, do it (John 2:4-5).
Can I tell you this: your engagement during this season will address ALL issues of concerns in your life as if they never existed.
I wrote a little book titled, ‘All You Need To Have All Your Needs Met.’ That was the teaching series of one of our Shilohs; you can even call for it.
ALL YOU NEED: People don’t know what they need, that’s why they remain in need. All that you and I will ever need to have all our needs met is God and what He says to do.
He simply said, “THIS IS THE PLACE.”
He didn’t say what will happen when you come there. If you like come there; if you don’t like, don’t come there.
THIS IS THE PLACE. It didn’t look like the place, there was nothing to support that it is the place from our commonsense evaluation. You don’t go to build a Church inside the forest where people are not there and it is for people.
How do you put the two together? You are building something for people, away from the people!
God said, “that is the place”! What place? Do you understand geography?
God does not owe you any answer to your questions, He only demands obedience. God simply demands obedience and your obedience will provoke His manifest presence that will always result in the supernatural breakthroughs.
One of the most wicked kings that ruled in Israel was Ahab. His wife taught him wickedness, his wife was his coach. When judgement landed through the Prophet Elijah, we saw Ahab walked softly before the Lord, covered himself with ash.
God said, “see how he humbled himself”
There was no voice and God turned that judgement in his favour. Obedience speaks louder than voice.
We are being visited with waves of sanctification this month. It is enough to shout, pray, cry. It is important to TURN FROM EVERYTHING YOU KNOW DISPLEASES GOD; without a voice, grace will come down and a new day will dawn.
That’s how powerful obedience is. It is far, far more powerful than voice.
God: You owe 10 souls
Response: I don’t owe you anything.
Good and I mean minimum 10 souls; I’m not saying only 10.
There are Church leaders who won’t take it. There are even Pastors who won’t take it, there are pastors who will announce it and won’t take it.
Don’t you know pastors who announce, “It is time to give our offerings and tithes” and they don’t give tithes. No. It’s not that they wrote it something. They know.
We are absolutely responsible for the outcome of our lives. God does not enforce obedience on anyone. It is simply everyone’s choice (Revelation 3:20).
May our obedience from henceforth keep provoking the manifest presence of God that will launch us into the realm of the supernatural and the supernatural will become our new identity in the name of Jesus.
The Red Sea did not only give way, you found them guided by the Pillar of Fire in the night, covered by the Pillar of cloud during the day. They were eating twice without planting or reaping. They eat bread in the morning, flesh in the evening and that continued till they got to the borders of Canaan (Exodus 16:8).
40 years free breakfast, free lunch.
Not only that, a Rock was following them supplying them abundance of water. They had water supply all through supernaturally. All as a result of their raw obedience.
Here is the conclusion: you will never have to struggle for anything again. Your obedience will result in the meeting of all needs of your life.
That same obedience kept them healthy and strong (Psalm 105:37). Just simple raw obedience paved the way for them.
Obedience can turn any situation around at any time:
– That Red Sea will give way.
– That wall of Jericho will fall down flat.
– Lack and want; you will know it no more.
– Sickness and disease won’t have a hold on your life anymore.
Whatever He tells you to do, do it.
Lift up your two hands and ask God for grace: grace for sustainable obedience, grace for full obedience, grace for selfless obedience, grace for delightsome obedience, grace to obey to the full and to the end in this awesome prophetic season.
Grace not to toy with God’s instructions but to embrace and run with them.
This coming Sunday, everyone with any healing needs shall return home hale and hearty. Every sick person you bring or persons/ families will return as living testimonies.
Everyone you invite to see Jesus, to meet Jesus will be glad to be invited.
Everyone you minister to, will join you to come and worship.
Expect your open rewards in return. Before this season is over, many Newsmakers will emerge from this platform and you are one of them.
Every concern over your family, children, works of your hands, all that concerns you will be levelled out by the power of God.
This beginning of miracles Jesus did and manifested forth his glory: a product of raw obedience.
God’s glory shall be made manifest in everyone’s life.
Every engaging Winner at this time will sing a New Song in this prophetic season.
The day is declared open as your day:
– Your day of breaking forth.
– Your day of testimonies.
– Your day of good reports.
– Your day of breaking forth on every side. So shall it be.
Give Him thanks.
Please ensure to engage in our Mop-up operations against Sunday.
Today is Friday, reach out to people, get your fliers out and invite them with the joy and conviction: that anyone you invite will be glad to be invited and will joyfully arrive here.
At our WSF tomorrow, pull someone there. Get someone there. Pull him to that fellowship, God is going to give him a change of story.
Remember every cell must replicate at least once, must birth at least one new cell and that includes your cell. You may not be the Cell Minister, but you are there as a representative of Christ. Be part of making it happen.
It’s your day. Speak to the day.
