You need a push forward

2 Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

Establishment is different from prospering. Establishment is the nurturing one gets like the one the parents give a child. And that is what God does to us as we grow spiritually. Prospering on the other hand is the flourishing or pushing ahead one gets when they meet prophets or anointed people.

Many Christians have the call of God from childhood, have known the scriptures through memorisation, have got to know about prayer, meditation, and every scriptural discipline you can ever think of, but they lack one thing, a push in a certain direction to be of great benefit to others in the ministry.

They have seen the Lord through the scriptures, but they now need a living example before their very eyes to show them the nounces that pertain the ministry. There's such people which God brings into our lives whom we call ministry fathers. They enable you enter the ministry, identify the gift on you and place you where you rightly belong to serve God. You need such as those in your life in your journey to catch the anointing. 

Think of a person with the theoretical knowledge of driving. Until they get a living practical instructor on what they specifically need to know in order to drive, they may never drive. In fact they may get into knowledge of certain facts of the car which may not be necessary to drive. What's the point of learning everything about the engine or finer bits about every nut used in a car yet all that may be irrelevant when it comes to moving a car forward? Simply knowing how to start the car, engaging the gears, the brakes, using side mirrors may be the only knowledge you need to be a good driver. A good instructor does not like it when you do your own thing you read somewhere else. They need you to first do what they have told you specifically otherwise they may fail you. Their instructions are so simple and direct and will lead you to what you want, driving. 

The same is true with ministry. God loving Christians know too much about God but they are stopping at that level, but lack the essential knowledge or push they need to profit. The anointing is very specific for example healing, teaching, preaching, worship etc. This may not need you to wander so much in the unnecessary but specifically follow those who are already flowing in it and you too will display the same.

All the anointing you need to do well in ministry, God has placed it in a living example, the anointed men and women, get all the knowledge you can from their sermons, writings, association, influence and you will do the same.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
