2023/2024 OPERATION 18-18 – (HOLY GHOST EMPOWERMENT TO OPERATE IN THE HIGHEST V)

“And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”

Luke 24:49, KJV

It takes waiting to receive the power. This is Jesus advice; don’t jump until you have received this power. Study Acts 1:6-8, Jesus says, you will receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you (not before) and then you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (vs 8).

Charity begins at home. I have been emphasizing the need for you to repair your family altar. You also need to repair you personal altar where you meet one-on-one with God, where you commune with him, where he meets with you, the place called there. There is a place called ‘there’, God said, there, I will meet with you (Exo. 25:22).

An altar is a meeting place between spirit beings and human beings. In the New Testament, every true child of God is not only an altar, he is also the priest and also the sacrifice (if you know how to present yourself) to offer up spiritual sacrifice unto God. We need to keep the fire on the altar burning. The fire on the altar is not supposed to go down. Lev. 6:12-13, it is your responsibility to keep the fire burning. This year, we need the multiple dimensions of the move of the Holy Spirit; the fire dimension, the rain dimension to water our ridges, it bring comfort, succour, increase, multiplication and fruitfulness.

All our efforts must be fruitful. This year, there shall be no near success syndrome in the name of Jesus. All our efforts must be fruitful by the supernatural empowerment of God. It is not by power nor by might but by the special grace of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of grace, so powerful, yet so gentle, so comforting; we need the comfort of the Holy Spirit to make sense out of the nonsense that is in the world. It is only in God’s presence that things make sense.

It is your responsibility to be very angry in maintaining the temple, the sanctity of the temple is very important. Your body is the temple for the Holy Spirit. Daily, I make this confession with anger. This is because several times the devil had tried to project things into my system. All I do is to worship God and as soon as the fire comes, I lay my hand on the spot and speak in tongues before rebuking it, this is self deliverance. I encourage you to minister self deliverance to yourself. Satan has no right to mess up with the temple of God. (1 Cor. 3:16).

You must also ensure that you don’t defile your body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. That is why a child of God should not live anyhow. Without discipline, nobody can be a disciple of Jesus Christ because a true disciple is a disciplined follower of the mentor. Identify the things you need to drop and let the fire of the Holy Spirit burn them. The fire on the altar determines how impactful the altar will be. God said that the fire on the altar must not be allowed to go down. In the tabernacle, people whose duty it was, ensured that they poured oil into the fire to keep it burning 247.

You need the fire to keep the wild beasts away. You need the fire to keep the body warm. You need the fire to break into the enemy territory and take back what belongs to you. You need the fire to checkmate spiritual terrorists. You need the fire to draw the fire line. That is what the Church should be doing; it is not about raising members. They concentrate more on the members, where are the disciples? Those who are not raising disciples are raising billionaires with the cheap gospel of “give me your gold and I will make you a god!”

As they are busy doing this, the devil is strategically taking all the necessary position to stay and control things because he wants to take the driver’s seat. Don’t make any man your god because this is part of the idolatry today in the Church – hero worship!

The cheapest form of idolatry is pride; the worship of self. That is why God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. The divine prescription is that we have to submit ourselves one hundred percent to God and then resist the devil. It takes fire to resist the devil. The devil respects fire not titles. Nothing puts off fire like titles, don’t go for titles.
