2023/2024 OPERATION 18-18 – (LET THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED III)

Christian ethics is deep; God goes beyond an action to the motive behind it. Motive is the driving force; the spirit. That is why you need to test all spirits. If the spirit is not right, the action means nothing to God. That is why I believe that a pastor must rise; you must not accept everything they bring to you; you must probe into the source of the money. It is our responsibility to teach people to live right. Ask questions – “how did you make the money? What was your enterprise?” It is because people are not asking such questions that things are upside down today.

A lot of people are not ready to make heaven.

“And he said unto them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” 

Luke 9:23, KJV

Self denial is the price for discipleship. How many people are ready to deny self before you talk about taking up the cross? How many people are ready to take up the cross daily; to follow Jesus? They want to be moderate so that the world will not see them as bigots or extremists. They want the world to celebrate them.

Ask yourself the question: if Jesus were to come back today, will the world celebrate him? If you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ and you are being celebrated by the world, check yourself. The issue is not always with God but with man. Improper consecration reduces prayer and fasting effort to hunger strike.

Every spiritual exercise that is done in the flesh cannot move anything. God is a spirit and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Anything that is not built on the foundation of truth, which is the word, of God has no future. Lying is one of the things that reduce power to zero because the resistance value of lying is infinity but people think that it is a small sin.

The power has to flow through you, it doesn’t move by electromagnetic wave induction. The power of God moves by conduction. That is why when you see an anointed man of God, even the cloth they wear can be used to transfer power. It can become a dangerous weapon. Power moves by conduction. As for me, this equation is very clear in my mind.

There was a time I wanted to write a book on The God Factor. The Lord taught me very deep things about why problems are not solved and people go from one Church to another year in year out seeking solution but instead of things getting better, they keep getting worse. The reason can be found in improper consecration. The problem is never with God. God is faithful and he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond our asking. But then, through his power that works in us.

God’s power has to be transferred through you. How much of that power are you able to appropriate to get things settled on a once for all basis in your life. That is what determines the outcome of your prayer exercise. That is what determines the outcome of your fasting for one hundred days. That is what determines the victories. That is what determines the fruits. That is what determines the benefits. We need to trust God to show us areas where we need to make amends in our lives. Whatever he shows you that you are not doing right, please take the feedback and clean up and then you will see yourself fly. This is our year of above only, we shall be above only and never beneath in the name of Jesus; above barrenness and fruitlessness. All our investments shall produce bountiful results, the glory of God shall be revealed. The name of the Lord magnified in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
