INCREASING FOLLOWERSHIP

February 15, 2012


INCREASING FOLLOWERSHIP Matt8:1-4
When   he came  down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Matt 8:1
From  the gospels we understand that our Lord Jesus Christ habitually went to the   mountain to seek the face of His Father & to fellowship with Him. Whenever He went to meet His Father, He recharged His spiritual battery & by the time he descended, He came with solutions for all & sundry. In the instance cited in our Bible reading, when He descended, great multitudes followed Him. One revelation from this is that, mountain top experience is a prerequisite for great followership. Many pastors & church founders love to have large crowds but how many of them pay the price by staying regularly with Him in His presence?

It is either you spend more time in the presence of your Caller & Divine Employer so that he connects you  with those who would be under your fold or you will get to the crowd by going to the devil to enchant people. Unfortunately, some people say they are leaders of Gods church yet they do charms or take specially prepared anointing oils & soaps from the pit of hell to manipulate Gods people. Others bury live cows in the premises of their church so that the the   number of maggots that it breeds becomes the number of followership they will get. Some even do charms for their members never to leave their churches. All such leaders are in Satan’s employ. If you are tied down by such satanic ministers, receive your deliverance today in Jesus Name!
If   great crowds always followed Jesus & He lives in you, then  you can be rest assured that all you need is to let Him increase inside of you & the crowd will come. Do you know that as U spend time in God’s presence, the Lord will dispatch angels to bring people to you? Some years ago, a particular policeman shared how  the Lord sent a number of people to ask him where he lived. He never knew them neither did they know him before then. But he was one brother who walked close with God. People heard a voice telling them to go to his apartment in the barracks & to specifically ask for him. As they heeded  the voice  traced him, he prayed with them & God solved their problems. As you   spend more time in God’s presence, He will send more people to you.
The secret of the crowd is with Jesus. Follow his example today.
PRAYER POINT: FATHER, AS I SPEND MORE TIME IN YOUR PRESENCE, LET ANGELS TAKE OVER THE PUBLICITY OF MY HOUSE FELLOWSHIP, CHURCH BUSINESS, SKILLS & GIFTING.

 

SATISFIED?

February 14, 2012

Memorize: Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12

Read: Philippians 3:12-15

What you compare yourself with goes a long way in shaping your today and determining your tomorrow. The one who sees himself as a champion among crawlers is most likely a crawler too.

If you are satisfied with your present spiritual state because of lukewarm believers that surround...

DISTINGUISHED BY HOLINESS

February 13, 2012
Memorize: To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? Isaiah 40:18

Read: Isaiah 40:18-22

Our God is not like any god known to man. Those that compare God with idols or make a visage to represent Him make a terrible mistake. In Isaiah 40:18, He asks: To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? One attribute that sets God apart from any other thing imaginable to man is His holiness.

This attribute is so unique that in the throne room of...

DIVINE CALL

February 12, 2012

Memorize: Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:24

Read: Mark 3:13-15

One of the greatest things that can happen to a man or woman is to be called by God. Those He called were not elected or voted for yet He called them. Psalm 115:3 says God does whatever He likes in Heaven. It is a great privilege to be called by God and a greater privilege to be ordained by Him. And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would; and they came unto him.

And he...

PRIDE NEGATES WEALTH

February 11, 2012
Memorize: The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. Proverbs 18:23

Read: Proverbs 18:11-12, 23

Not all wealth is good. God is interested in your prosperity but only through the right channels. If the channel is right and God is in it, then that wealth is blessed, if not, it is cursed. As a child of God, your concern must not just be being wealthy, but to follow Heaven-approved channels. Proverbs 28:6 says: Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perv...

PAY THE PRICE TO BE RELEVANT

February 10, 2012
Memorize: And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. Deuteronomy 28:10

Read: 2 Kings 2:19-25

The presence of the overflowing anointing of God in your life makes you not only blessed, but also a blessing. It is God's will that the anointing in your life overflows to those around you. In 2 Kings 2:19-25, the anointing on Elisha brought an end to the barrenness and curse on Jericho. In the same vein, a very conspicuous repr...

CONNECTING HELPERS

CONNECTING HELPERS 
Thursday, February 09, 2012
Memorize: Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. 2 Corinthians 1:24

Read: Genesis 37:25-28, 36

An important lesson of life which must be understood in order to prosper is that: to succeed, you must connect with your divinely-ordained helpers. This can be seen in the story of Joseph. After his brothers sold him as a slave to the Ishmaelite, who took him to Egypt, God connected him with Potip...

ELIJAH AND THE ANOINTING

February 8, 2012

Memorize: Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Hebrews 1:9

Read: 1 Kings 18:36-38

Holiness is very important and key to being anointed. The secret of Elijah's success in ministry was holiness and total obedience. He did not know how to argue with God and that is holiness. Today, many believers are still at loggerheads with the King of glory.

When God wants them to sit, they say the...

NEEDLESS COMPARISON

Memorize: For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. 2 Corinthians 10:18

Read: 2 Corinthians 10:12-18

Life in the spirit is comparable to a journey, or a race. As you progress from point A to B, you will be certain of the grounds you have covered. But if you are carried away by the grounds you have covered, it may impede the completion of the journey.

For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that com...

BARTIMAEUS AND MERCY

September 28, 2011

MEMORIZE: “All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.” (Ps. 25:10).

READ: Mark 10:46-52

God is rich in mercy. Psalm 89:14 says mercy and truth go before God. All of God's paths and activities are interlaced with mercy, especially to believers (Ps. 25:10). One Bible character in whom we can see God's mercy in operation virtually every step of the way, is erstwhile blind Bartimaeus. The first thing we learn from this story is that mercy c...
