The earlier we recognize that serving God is a business indeed, the better for us. You approach it as a hobby, you just keep losing market. If you take it as a business, you keep gaining.
If thou shall diligently hearken, if thou shall business likely hearken, Diligently means business likely, not religiously, not casually, not when it’s convenient not “when I feel” likely. You don’t do that to stay in a job. If you say “I don’t think I should go” in your job you are already out of the job. If you say “I don’t think I should go to the market today, you will be out of business in no time.
Romans 12:11 – not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; . So serving the lord is a kingdom business that changes those that engage, changes their story from glory to glory from time to time. The ball is in your court. It’s not fun-fair, its business fare. Don’t be slothful in the business of serving the Lord but stay fervent in Spirit as you serve Him and then you find your story changing from glory to glory. It is real business.
Watch all those striking testimonies, they gave it a business like approach. They were on with a business mindset. This thing works and this is what I should do to make it work. So I am investing, you invest in business to make it work, so I am investing my time, energy and resources and then it comes through. Thank you Jesus.
I wrote a publication sometime back, “Serving God is a big time business” you can reference that and go through it.
Now quickly, Prophetic words are in most parts very laughable, they don’t add up to our intellectual appraisal in most cases, in fact they look like making a fool of someone. Church Gist.The reason is because His ways are higher than their ways and his thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8). Most prophetic instructions come in with utmost simplicity, most times we are deceived to trash them. (2 Corinthians 11:3)
Someone was in danger, the two sons were taken as collateral for the money, the husband owed. The husband is now dead and she cried to a prophet and the prophet asked “What do you have in your house”, the woman would have wondered “I am crying to you that my two sons have been taken and you ask what I have in my house, please stop stories go away, okay except a little oil” now you are talking, go and borrow vessels. Shut the door against you and play the fool, drop the oil into each of those pots so that you won’t have anything again. The pots got full with marketable oil. He said “Go and sell, and live on the rest”. Any complex individual will say “No! If you don’t want to help me, tell me so I can go” Simplicity (2Kings 4:1-10).
That is how giants are made in the kingdom, following the simplicity of God’s instruction from time to time as they come your way. Some said “We need wine” and he said “fill the pots with water”, and they did and had sweeter wine than the one they bought with their money. (John2:3-11).
He made His ways known to Moses and His acts to the children of Israel ( Psalms 103:7). Access to his ways: what he wants done and doing it puts us in command of His acts. Church Gist.Engaging with what God says should be done puts the believer in command of His acts. We saw Moses a man that had access to His ways, mighty signs and wonder wrought through his hands.
Simple instructions have been our experience over the years, He told us “This is the place” and we said “Thank you Sir” and before we knew we got the first 100 acres, second, third, fourth and gradually it became 530 acres of land. From 2.3 acres to 530 by simple instructions that don’t add up much. He said “This is the place”, it was a place that looked like it was going nowhere, now the place commands the attention of the whole world. Simple instructions.
Now again He said “Turn your all-night prayers to breakthrough night” Simple instruction and then church began to gallop, from 3700 to 10,000 to 19,000 to 26,000. Annual turnaround and then we counted 50,000 in five years. Simple instruction: “turn your all-night prayers to breakthrough night with three teaching ministrations. Church began to erupt by that simple instruction. Please don’t mock the prophetic, it can be costly. He does certain things by completely simple instructions.
He said “Go ahead and plant 5000 churches,” I said “How? We have been planting and planting and we are still just about 5000 plus, How? In just one year?. Following His instructions puts you in command of His acts, 5082 churches planted in one year. I have never seen that before in my life so I said, “so next year we will spend it in establishing the churches?” He said ”No! 10,000 churches”. I said “What?” and indeed one of those 20,000 churches was the one you watched in that film that took over the entire village.
Simple instructions results in great impact. (Isaiah 42:22). We have seen amazing things come to pass. He said “the tabernacle shall be dedicated September 18th”. I said how? It doesn’t make sense. Where is the money. He said “don’t ask Me questions, obey my instructions”. So we stepped in here, not looking at anything we had or dont have. Why? He has everything. So we began and 18th September as He said it was done.
-Somebody is here you won’t toil with any instruction from God again in your life.
God has given another simple instruction that will change the face of the church of Christ on the earth, Just watch.
Here is that new mandate: The Spirit of the Lord said “Mind cell growth, it is my agenda to keep this church growing, continue to invest in cell growth and replication, it is an ordained platform to maintain the continuous growth of this church. Be reminded this church is ordained a platform for a worldwide spiritual awakening. This new cell growth replication and multiplication agenda would change the face of the entire body of Christ positively”. Give the Lord praise.
Can you imagine God telling us at the onset of this commission that the destiny of this age is committed to our hands. There are certain statements that are not ordinary, that comes out of heaven. Is it not happening gradually?
“Let the cells be turned to a platform for continuous addition of souls to the church, give utmost attention to cell growth and replication, it is my secret for the continuous growth of the church, Keep driving this agenda, the continuous spread of the church of Christ lies in the spread of the churches in the house of believers as of the early church.”
Why is this so important? This may not be palatable, The last days are days of contradiction. They are the greatest days of the church and the most challenging days for the world. If you read from Luke 21:34 you will see the catastrophes that portray the end times and yet they are amazing testimonies of the acts of God among his people. Challenging days are ahead and no one can define the details of them, that is what makes the cell system imperative in sustaining the continuous growth of the church of Christ. Therefore let us arise and build because a wise man foresees the evil and hides himself, but the wicked pass on and they are punished.
The world is yet to come out of COVID-19 harassment, we went through that season unscratched through the cell system that was waxing stronger and stronger in the course of the lockdown. Prophetically while the last days are the greatest days of the manifestation of the church, the end time is also a time of distress and uncertainty for people across the nations of the earth. (Luke 21:8-12).
So the cell system will become the refuge for people when movement is challenged. So they can begin to access ministry and grow from strength to strength and not depart from the faith (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Among others, the end time shall be a time of great deceptions, the kind that can get even the very elect deceived so we need to prepare for the rescue of many (Mathew 24:24-25). Every single soul brought under this commission must make heaven at the end of their journey (Revelation 20:10).
There are many messages in the corners of the earth today: heaven is no longer mentioned, consecration is no longer necessary, sanctification thrown to the trash, you can do anything and God is in love with you and you are in love with God. You don’t need to do anything to make heaven, but you need to do something to prosper – bring us offering. The love of many will wax cold because iniquity will abound. Therefore let he that stand, take heed lest he falls. Fellowship is one security for believers from falling away.
A day of great horror is within this last days, we need to prepare an ark for the rescue of the redeemed. This is what makes the cell system imperative in growing a healthy church system both in season and out of season. A strong cell system shall be an ark of rescue for believers through fellowship that will continue to turn our challenges into testimonies. Therefore let us arise and build a strong and ever growing cell system across the nation in our respective churches.
Lift up your hands and thank God for giving us the privilege to be partakers of this agenda in the church of Christ.
Pray for yourself for grace to be a major player in driving this end time agenda. Thank you Jesus, in Jesus name we pray.
Pray for grace to stay revived, let the fire of God on the altar of your heart never go out. Go ahead and receive it. Without fuel no vehicle will move. Pray that prayer from the depth of your heart, in Jesus name we pray.
Any one can jump on this chariot at any time, God never counts your past against you. The day you change your nonchalant past is written off and a brand new beginning is granted on to you without any cost to it.
In case you have been watching, I urge you today to join this chariot. It is the place where giants arise, every revival is the birth place of giants in the kingdom. Those who retain their place in a revival and are growing in it, they end up as giants in their various places of endeavors.
– There are many that are not known on their street that would soon become global names.
Every location provider is playing host to the Ark Of Revival, Obed-Edom hosted the ark for 3 months and it was a dramatic turnaround in his house.
-If it happened in life of Obed-Edom, it is going to happen in your life. Everyone hosting the Ark of Revival is entitled to Obed-Edom type of blessings. (2 Samuel 6:11-12).
OPERATION GET THE ARK ON THE MOVE is a platform for taking the Ark of Revival and it’s blessings to the house of every member.
We are not having fun here, we breathe on things and they answer from across the Atlantic.
Wherever God gives us a new harvest, we should plant a new cell there immediately. By the signal of the Holy Ghost, the entire cities of the earth shall be filled with the liberation doctrine, setting free the captives and turning people’s issues into testimonies.
– Every place entered into, will become a home of blessings.
– Every single invitee to the cell will find his way to the Kingdom.
Lift up your two hands and thank God for a new light.
- There is a springing forth.
Now ask God to breathe on OPERATION GET THE ARK ON THE MOVE for maximum delivery, spring strange surprises to us. The Lord came down and said that “I, the God of wonder double is visiting you” that was 2nd of May 2015. By July 26th the church had doubled.
Come on, give the Lord praise, by October 25th He had redoubled the double. His instructions always come with utmost simplicity.
Now begin to release angels across our harvest field north, south, east and west. Release them, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Thank Him for answering our prayers.
