Commanding Progress

Commanding Progress

  May 28, 2017[Edition 1, Volume 1] THEME: COMMANDING PROGRESS /ADVANCEMENT How you can set your life in motion and achieve your dreams Scripture tells us that progress is God's will and plan for every believing Christian, God desires that you grow from one level of glory to another. And Samuel said unto the people, [It is] the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. 1Samuel 12:6 Every time we achieve something worthwhile in the kingdom of God, we please God. Every time we overcome an obstacle, a bad habit, an addiction, we please God. He is committed to be with you every time you pass through the waters and through fire…Isaiah 43: 2When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee That is why God is committed to helping you and I grow and he has made available resources and provisions to help you achieve any level you want to achieve in the kingdom of God. The scripture tells us that "But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day". Proverbs 4: 18 We should therefore understand that any level we have achieved is not ultimate or any level the other person you know has achieved to be ultimate. You should always be looking out to the next mountain to climb, there is still much to be achieved (read Joshua 18: 1-5) What are scriptural backing for commanding motion in the life of a Christian? In the book of 1Timothy 4, Paul was encouraging Timothy on the importance of committing himself to the word of God and he said vs. 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. MAIN TEXT “The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates”. Deuteronomy 1: 5-6

  T H ES A N C T U A R Y O F G R A C E A N D E M P O W E R M E N T He was literary telling him that there is a deposit in you which can make you keep going up and going strong once you give yourself to the word of God and meditation, a giant in you will emerge. Sometimes back I was visiting a family who asked for prayers. As I got into the house and we sat, they handed over a child to me and asked me to pray for the child who has not been able to walk since birth and was way passing the walking stage after prayer and encouragement to the family, the Lord gave me a revelation and said to me 'do you see the burden the child is becoming to the family? And I said yes Lord, and God said so are many Christians who after so much time in church they are not able to make a decision to do the word of God; Joshua 1: 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success, (achievement, accomplishment, realization attainment) Life becomes a burden when there is no progress, it becomes frustrating and irrelevant not only to you but to the people around you. Newton’s law of motion which laid the foundation for classical mechanics states that an object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon it by a force. WHAT DO WE NEED IN ORDER TO ASSUME PROGRESS IN LIFE We need the force of the word of God and meditation to break the burden of stagnation We all remember very well the story in John chapter 5 of the man who spent 38 years at the pool where everybody was collecting their miracle and his only reason was that I have no man to take me into the pool when the water is stirred. He was not ready to take responsibility. If you are waiting for a man to help you, you will wait all your lifetime. In the book of Luke 13, Jesus tells a parable of a man who sought fruits from his vineyard and when he could not find anything, he said I will cut it down "7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]: 9 And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down. " God expect you to be a fruit bearing Christian. For a plant to grow and produce fruit it must be planted into the ground, watered, access sunlight and so forth. For a Christian to grow and produce fruit he/she must be planted in the house of God, placed strategically to do the will of God, accessing the light from the word of God. Only then are you guaranteed to make satisfactory progress and produce fruit that shall remain. If you are no planted in the house of God, you need to do so now. It’s not by going to church or church membership or even baptism, it’s by confessing and receiving Jesus as your Lord and personal savior. You can do so now by praying this prayer after me. Please pray with me any say “Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner who needs your forgiveness, today I come to you and confess my sins that you forgive me and wash me clean in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Come into my heart, be my lord and personal savior, today I receive you by faith and I am now born again and I am a child of God. Thank you for saving me in Jesus name. Amen!” Stay blessed and stay in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. Justice Lukeshi

Before I got converted, I urinated blood for 14 years. I was taken to an herbalist who instructed me to bathe in river every night at 10: 00 p.m. My father accompanied me to the river where I did as instructed, but the situation persisted. On the other hand, on two different occasions. I rejected the fliers given to me by members of this church. However, this month I was given another flier and this time around, accepted it. I reluctantly came to this church and the same day, I was given the bottle of anointing oil. I took a shot of it as instructed and amazingly, the blood ceased! I give all the glory to Jesus”.
