Here is a compilation of the Word which the Lord spoke through this vessel in the just concluded November 2018 Conference in Our Telegram Group. I believe you'll be blessed reading.
TOPIC: THE NIGHT IS FAR SPENT (ROM 13:12)
Much has already been said by other ministers pertaining to the theme of the conference. If you followed up carefully, you should already get the message. So I may not say too much but just sum it up.
Romans 13:11 KJV
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, do not take it lightly, because it's a warning. This conference was made mainly for those who have slacked in their callings and duties as Christians.
By His Grace, I'll try as much as possible to sound it the way the Lord communicated to me.
1 Corinthians 9:24-26 KJV
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. [25] And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. [26] I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air.
True Christianity is a race. Once we get saved we're automatically enlisted to partake in this race alongside others. Those who brace the tape on the Last Day will make Heaven. Actually, many will make Heaven, but not everyone who makes it will receive rewards.
Many will fall away; many will be carried away by the cares of this world & won't make it to the finish line, talk less of receiving rewards.
This message comes as a wakeup call to Believers who for one reason or the other have lost their sharp-cutting edge; have toned down on how they used to preach before; have watered down their messages so as to please men; those Believers who are no longer praying and studying the Word like they used to do.
Some of us here were once very vibrant, Spirit-filled Believers. We were on fire, burning fiercely for God until a stubborn and persistent sin came and swept us off our feet. Tribulations and trials came and stole our focus. In this way, many lost it and saw themselves going backwards spiritually instead of forward.
Some of us here have been Christians for many years but haven't been on fire for God even for once and can not testify on much impact on others. There's this inner knowing that we haven't measured up to the level the Lord wants us to attain spiritually.
In both cases, both categories of Christians are actually asleep. And the Lord says the night is far spent, it is time to wake up! There's no much time left to continue sleeping.
Am I speaking to someone here?
As you're hearing this message right now, may that inner knowing that "there's more to Christianity than this current spiritual state I am" light a fire in your heart; a zeal to swiftly work towards & ascend to the level God wants you to be!
May that fiery zeal propel you unto fulfilling your divine purpose exactly the way it was written of you!
Much has also been said about Evangelism. We're all called to the ministry of soul-winning. The Great Commission is a work all true Christians must do. It is a MUST that we Evangelise!
Jude 1:23 KJV
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
But how can we help others out of the pit, out of darkness and fire of Hell if we ourselves need urgent help? The Lord wants to begin with pulling us out of the fire of damnation and cleansing us. His hand is out-stretched to help us.
Titus 2:14 KJV
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
He wants to cleanse and purify us for service; even our garments spotted by the flesh. He wants to do it swiftly & equip us to also pull others out of the fire, because the night is far spent and time is short! The Lord is raising the End Time Army.
I understand why it is easy for Christians who have had a glimpse of Heaven, the rewards and the glory awaiting us to be so zealous about their divine purpose, callings & ministry. I understand that once you have such revelations it's hard to remain a lukewarm Christian. But we must not wait until we have such experiences before we become serious with Kingdom business.
For some of us who are not opportuned to have such, you're opportuned to be in this conference!
You're not permitted to remain the same after this conference!
Yes, it may not be a physical crown that we will receive from God on the Last Day. It may not be physical mansions like we've been told. Our mortal minds are too limited to grasp the complete essence of what God has in store for those who will finish strong & lead many to Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Daniel 12:3 KJV
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Who are they that are wise? They are those who fear the Lord, depart from evil & live to please Him.
Psalm 111:10 KJV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments : his praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 1:7 KJV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 9:10 KJV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 15:33 KJV
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Anyone who lives in rebellion against God is unwise. Anyone who is occupied with doing what they're passionate about, not God sent them on Earth to do is unwise.
Every Christian has a calling upon their life which is connected to building the Church of Yeshua, Jesus. So say not, "I'm not called". Your Ambition is not your calling. Any Christian who is occupied with chasing after their ambition more than their calling is chasing after vanity, and has their focus misplaced.
They that are wise are those who have learnt to number their days, knowing they were sent on a mission on Earth that has a time limit for its completion. They are those who understand that they have a lifespan & must use it to accomplish the assignment which the Father committed to their trust.
Psalm 90:12 KJV
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
The parable of the 10 virgins, in which 5 were foolish and for that reason missed the mark is way deeper than we think.
May we apply our hearts to wisdom; so that after running this race for so many years on Earth we do not miss the mark.
What would be my gain if I make Heaven but have no reward? It's actually the reward that makes the race worth running! God would not be happy with me if I failed to do the work He sent me to do and as a result, failed to inherit the promises. What a shame that would be?
I might not be able to grasp the entire essence on how valuable my crown is, but I sure know that if it wasn't priceless the enemy wouldn't be fighting this hard!
Nothing that is holding you back is worth losing your crown for!
You have been dwelling in that place of slumber for too long. Your time in there is far spent and it's time to come forth!
The Lord gives you the strength to permanently overcome that besetting sin!
He gives you the power to break those shackles holding you back and break forth to become who He destined you to be!
Tell that Pharaoh, "I am quitting Egypt and shall never return!"
No, the enemy can not hold back and sift me like wheat!
I am a soldier in the End Time Army and must do the will of the One who enlisted me!
No tribulation nor trial shall prevent me from doing what God wants me to do!
The mountains barricading me from my destiny are removed by the Power of God Almighty!
Spiritual growth shall no longer be a struggle in Jesus Name!
Why Are You Not Doing Evangelism?
The way we constantly talk about our own inabilities and inadequacies is an insult to God.
1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
God never said that we will do it by our own strength. It is Him who works through us to will and to do for His own pleasure.
It is actually for the sake of our weaknesses that His Power will rest upon us to enable us effectively carryout and bring the assignment to completion!
2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore rejoice that you have flaws because the Grace of God will be there to complete you and help you complete the assignment. At the end of the day, all glory will return to Him, not to our abilities.
Some of us may neither be well-educated nor eloquent speakers. Moses wasn't an eloquent speaker, Peter wasn't educated; but if we look closely, we could see how mightily God used them. God never calls the qualified but qualifies the called and uses them beyond human expectation. We can rest on this truth.
Major Tools For Evangelism
1. The Word of Power
Peter clearly was an illiterate, but he had what many teachers of the Law didn't have; he had the Word of Power.
Acts 2:37-38 KJV
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? [38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Peter had that Hebrews 4:12 kind of Word that could pierce through hearts and drive many to their knees in repentance. It wasn't his eloquence and literacy that did that, but his relationship with the Lord.
Acts 4:13 KJV
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
The message of the Cross is the Word of Power, and our quality relationship with the Lord activates that power. What we need is the Word of God coming forth with Power! Not grammar or eloquence!
The impact of our ministry can only flow out of the nature of the relationship we Jesus!
2). Signs and Wonders
The sinners of today are very stubborn and rebellious. As a matter of fact, they're tired of seeing people go about preaching and conduct crusades but at the end of the day, nothing truly happens. They know what to always expect, so they increasing turn deaf ears to our message because in most cases, those messages neither carry the power of God nor signs and wonders confirming them.
Mark 16:20 KJV
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Acts 5:12 KJV
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
Signs and wonders affirm to unbelievers that we're truly sent by a living God and He is truly with us. When these are present, it will be difficult for our message to be rejected.
The same Holy Spirit which came upon the Apostles and wrought mighty signs and wonders through them, is the same who is in us today. We must pray for and long to see God confirm the Word that comes forth from our mouth with signs and wonders.
3). Boldness
We need true boldness that only comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit, to go forth and deliver the Word even in places people deem dangerous!
If Jehovah's Witnesses cult are bold enough to go about disseminating error, then we can do better.
It's enough said, Saints. We must rise from slumber, get back to God and get serious with Him more than we had ever been, so that He'll work on us and send us forth to save the lost. That is the assignment that is upon the Church in the Now.
The harvest is indeed great but the labourers are few, simply because most of the labourers that were sent to the field (Earth) for the harvest fell in deep sleep instead!
The night is far spent. We must wake up now, because the coming of the Lord is nigh! He is coming with His reward and shall give everyone according to their works!
2 Timothy 2:21 KJV
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
May we be found worthy of His honour on that day, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen!
