SOMETIMES THE MANTLES YOU NEED AND THE MATTERS YOU DON'T NEED COME IN THE SAME CONTAINER
*I learnt wisdom from a divorcee.
*You may not reap where you sow but you must reap what you sow.
*You call your leader imperfect, are you a perfect follower?
Bishop Irabor Wisdom on POSSESSING PROPHETIC GRACE at the sunday third service.
PHILLIPIANS 1:7.
In the first service we looked at POSSESSING Back your Prayer fire.
Second service it was POSSESSING YOUR Glorious Destiny.
In this service, we shall be swimming in Possessing Prophetic Grace.
You are a child of destiny, refuse to end a destitute.
The tomorrow that is ahead of you is greater than what you are seeing today.
Don't treat people based on how you see them today.
Tommorow is heavily pregnant with so much surprises.
There is no natural eyes that can scan or decode what the womb of tommorow Carries.
Destiny is a glory ahead of you, but if you don't possess this glory, the glory will remain a story.
Your situation is not your destination.
Your situation is not your salutation.
WHO ARE PROPHETS?
Prophets are carriers of God's grace and everyone that aligns with them partakes of the grace they carry. Philippians 1:7.
Prophets are agents of release and preservation. Hosea 12:13.
Prophets are agents of Supernatural Helps.
Ezra 5:2.
Prophets are Agents of Impartation and transference of Spirit. Acts 4:13. Romans 1:11.
It is not your proximity that matters, but your connectivity.
7 WAYS TO CONNECT PROPHETIC GRACE
1. Seat under your prophet regularly. Ezekiel 2:2. Acts 10:44. The words in their mouth Carries the Spirit upon them. Don't be tired of hearing them. To be tired is to be fired from the school of Apprenticeship.
2. Never joke with his counsel and wisdom. Jesus is both the wisdom of God and power of God.
Value his wisdom and you won't always need emergency power. Those who don't go after their wisdom, are the ones looking for their power. You don't argue with the wisdom in their mouth.
3. Never speak against him or be offended with him. Jesus said blessed are those that are not offended in me.
To live in offence with your Prophet is to break your defence.
To be offended with him is to be stranded in the journey of life. This is where many of us miss it.
4. Never try to control them for they are servants of God building according to the pattern God gave them. In trying to control our man of God, we BECOME members of all the churches in town. No two pastors can be the same. Stay in your church and accept the difference of your church from other churches in town.
5. Honour and respect them openly. Never you company with rebels. Apostle Paul counselled us to Mark those who cause divisions amongst us, contrary to the teachings we have received and avoid them. You love them from far, but avoid them so that they don't pollute your heart. Whoever you are close to that makes you to suddenly start hating your pastor should be avoided. I use to have a member any one that is close to her must hate me.
We managed her, until God delivered us from her.
In 2007, the Pastor who told me not to ever kneel down to greet my State Pastor because I am not a Yoruba man, I caught him kneeling down to greet the same man he said I should not kneel down to greet, when I came into the office of the State Pastor. According to him, he said I don't know the force that made me kneel down. Till date we don't relate. I have zero tolerance for hypocrites. We are both out of the ministry today and the difference is very clear. "I know you are the Jesus of our time, but you must bow to John the Baptist if your ministry journey must begin"
6. Blind your eyes to their errors and open your eyes to their efforts in your life.
We have this treasure in earthen vessels. The treasure is perfect but the vessels carrying it must remain imperfect. If you know the weakness of your Prophet, it is because he gave you the access you don't deserve. You that is calling your leader imperfect, are you a perfect follower.
Focus on the virtue not the virus.
Focus on the virtues not the vessels.
Focus on their divinity and not on their humanity.
Focus on their mantles and not on their matters.
People call me to say the wisdom of God is upon my writings and words. But I am aware I got the baptism of wisdom and the transference of wisdom from a Prophet whose first marriage failed. A divorcee gave me wisdom. It was not marriage I went to learn but the wisdom of God upon his writings that I went after. From 1996 I read his book the young minister's handbook, I read one of his books on a monthly basis. I have all his books in my libary. Sometimes the mantles you need and the matters you don't need will come in the same container in order to prove your maturity and desperation.
7. Place them on a weekly, monthly, yearly or regular salary as your strength can carry you. As God begins to increase you, you can also increase it.
No matter how blessed they are, you have to be a blessing to them. Infact, it is better to be a blessing to a Pastor already blessed. Because it will connect you to the Blessing upon them.
Never see your Prophet empty handed.
He that gives a prophet a cup of water will receive the prophet's rewards.
Any grace that has not benefitted from your finance, can not help your destiny.
Sow into that grace and the grace will show in you.
Tithing is the only way to win your financial battles.
No prayer can solve financial problem without tithing.
YOUR TITHE IS THE ONLY PROOF THAT YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR CHURCH.
YOUR PROPHET OFFERING IS THE ONLY PROOF THAT YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR PROPHET.
The only thing your prophet owes you is grace not money.
You may not reap where you sow, but you must reap what you sow.
God does not need so many people to bless you, he only needs one person to bless you.
And that one person will locate you this week.
