- Enthronement is not by saying Yes, it is not in the hand of any man, it is in the hand of God who checks and marks.
- Bishop David Oyedepo says, “”there is a place for everyone in space if we agree or subscribe to the price.”
- The price of enthronement is the price of stewardship.
Our Father, send us Your Word this morning and let the fire You have ignited in our hearts burn hotter. Let your name be glorified, in Jesus awesome name.
It’s my privilege this morning to bring us this Morning a Word of exhortation for our Covenant Hour of Prayer today. We began so powerfully on Monday dealing with the subject:
WE DO NOT BEG FOR A TURNAROUND IN THE KINGDOM.
Why is that?
We have been made to understand clearly that we serve a Covenant keeping God not a Father Christmas God. Our God is a Covenant keeping God, not a Father Christmas God.
Psalm 89:34
Covenant keeping is God’s unchangeable nature.
Malachi 3:6 – what He did before is what He is still doing today and that makes it clear to us that He is eternally a covenant keeping God.
Say with me, “I serve a Covenant keeping God.”
Covenant here simply means a binding agreement based on well-defined conditions.
Amos 3:3 – That means we cannot maximise our walk with God except we understand and subscribe to the demands and the conditions attached to them. Your walk with God will be minimal. You can’t maximise the glory of your walk with God until you understand and subscribe to the condition of walking with Him.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2
All these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee if you meet the conditions, if you hearken to His voice, if you play your role. That is to say, every provision of redemption is available to all but not accessible to all.
Every provision of redemption is openly available to every believer, but only accessible to those that will identify, understand and subscribe to the conditions attached.
Example:
As free as salvation may seem, people call it the free gift of God. But you see from Scriptures, it appears to all but accessed by few. Only those ones that subscribe to the conditions.
Titus 2:11-12
Salvation has appeared to all but you can’t be saved except you subscribe to the condition.
Romans 10:12-13
Every provision is available to you…we are the ones to be saved.
It is therefore wisdom to engage with the conditions attached with our desired provisions from the Word of God. That way we commit God to deliver His part without fail.
James 1:22, 25
We have been considering available conditions in redemption since Monday. Today we are looking at 2 available provisions and the conditions attached to them.
- The provision of enthronement: That is empowerment by God to be in charge.
-From today, you shall be in charge.
Empowerment by God to be in command in your sphere of calling, in your area of influence. That is an open provision for every believer and no one can empower himself to be on top, you can’t enthrone yourself in the Kingdom. Only by the power of God can you arrive in the place of enthronement.
It is available to everybody.
Revelation 5:9-10
The Bible says He has redeemed us for the ultimate purpose to be kings. Kings are on the throne in their sphere; priests are on the throne in their sphere.
We have been redeemed to be in charge, to be in top, to be enthroned, however this answers only to conditions attached. Anywhere you see somebody on top, it is the hand of God at work.
Romans 13:1
“…the powers that be are ordained of God” – those that are enthroned are ordained of God.
We saw 2 critical examples from Scriptures where the disciples began to strive for enthronement:
One was the case where the mother of the sons of Zebedee appeared to Jesus, beggarly worshipping, lobbying as it were, for the enthronement of the 2 sons. She said, “let one be on your right hand and the other on your left hand.”
Jesus cautioned her: this is not how to get to the throne, there are conditions attached and “are you able to be baptized with the baptism I shall be baptized with?”
They said, “Yes” and Jesus clarified them. Enthronement is not by saying Yes, it is not in the hand of any man, it is in the hand of God who checks and marks. Church Gist. The other disciples, the Bible says in (Matthew 20) verse 22, Jesus answered and said, “ye know not what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink?”
In (Matthew 20) verse 24, when the other disciples heard this, the Bible says they were moved to indignation. They almost misunderstood Jesus and quickly the Master called them and pointed them to the condition, the same condition, in the 2 illustrations: In this Kingdom, if you want to be enthroned, learn to serve.
The access to the provision of enthronement, Jesus told the disciples was Service. “He that wants to be the chief, let him be the servant.”
On another occasion, the Last Supper when He was about to go, as He was taking the Communion, the disciples began to strive again, “who will be in charge, who will be on top?” Jesus pointed them to the same condition.
Luke 22:24-30
We cannot enthrone ourselves; we cannot lobby ourselves there but by meeting the condition, every one of us can appear there – Luke 22:29
I saw in 1 Chronicles chapter 12 where the sons of Issachar, all of them were enthroned. So, you can be enthroned, as well as I and every other person at the same time if we subscribe to the same condition that God has written.
I have heard God’s servant say, our father, “there is a place for everyone in space if we agree or subscribe to the price.”
The price of enthronement is the price of stewardship.
-As you serve and as I serve, even in this Operation Andrew week, I see us arriving on the throne.
This is a Commission of opportunity of stewardship. We just finished the Harvest Season, we have entered the Ingathering Season.
This week is Operation Andrew Week. Today, we are waiting upon the Lord. You can use all of these opportunities to invest your way in stewardship to the top, to the place of enthronement.
- I see you arriving there in the name of Jesus Christ.
- The second provision for today is prosperity.
We serve our way to growing realms of prosperity, we don’t beg for it.
Psalm 35:27
Job 36:11 gave us the condition: if you are willing to serve, God is willing to prosper.
How can we serve? Investing into what God is saying per time. You serve Him according to His terms and His prophets are His timekeepers that reveal His terms for us per time.
We have been told right now that we are in a move to bear the Harvest into the Storeroom. We are in a move to see them gathered, that have been harvested during Operation Andrew, to ensure that none of them is left behind.
How do you do that? Investing with your Transportation Seed.
You can start where you are, remember our God is a God of seed time and harvest time; before you know it, you arrive on the throne financially.
-Like this Commission, finance will not be a concern for anyone of us. - Lastly, God is not looking for who to rob, He is looking for who to enrich. As we invest our resources, have this mentality and understanding, He is not looking for what to take from you, but He is showing you the condition to supply all that your life can ever need and remember when Heaven opens, the earth must submit. There is no day that Heaven will not out supply the demands of the earth.
-From today, you will occupy the realm of enthronement.
-From today, you will be growing from prosperity to greater prosperity.
Prayers: I take grace to serve my way to the realm of enthronement and the realm of prosperity.
It is available for everybody and I must be counted.
Thank You Father, in Jesus awesome name we have prayed.
