Hello, Fire of God Chruch Family,
As we enter 2024, we feel the urgency to increase our diligence in reading, praying, serving, and taking care of our daily tasks more seriously.
Not only is more anointing and the presence of God coming but when there is an increase of things of God, there will also be an increase of enemy attacks.
So my question to you guys is this…Are you ready? Are you aware of gaps in your life? What would be your gaps? You might know already. Most of the time, we know what we need to do and what we need to stop. Please fill those gaps. Otherwise, the enemies will continuously enter you and other areas of your life through it.
If you are not just a layman but in a particular position, you should be more conscious of doing your duties rightly. There shouldn’t be any slacking off, being lazy, thinking lightly of committing sin, or doing nonsense just because “no one” sees you.
If you are in any position, reading, praying, faithfully doing your godly tasks (daily tasks in your physical life), tithe, or offering must be done without fail.
Assistant Pastors, all Elders, all Deacons, worshipers of all types (such as dancers, singers, rappers, and instrumental players).
Only people who will be promoted to the top in the ministry are going to be who will FULLY flow with us, Pastor Steve and me. Not because we are somebody important but because of the sake of God’s kingdom. It is for the sake of saving God’s people. Only when united, will we move forward, conquer the land, and snatch back what has been stolen from enemies.
Matthew 11:12 clearly states,
“From the moment John stepped onto the scene until now, the realm of heaven’s kingdom is bursting forth, and passionate people have taken hold of its power.”
This means you need to be passionate in order to accomplish/possess/achieve/conquer the things in the kingdom of God. If you confess that you have passion but it does not manifest in your life, your version of passion doesn’t mean anything. That type of passion can not take hold of power and will not achieve anything.
Why are all religious people taunting and attacking us? It’s because we are a threat to their kingdom. We may still be a small church now, but they know what we do not fully know. They see what is coming. They want to kill us before we are fully mature!! (It’s like how the demon forces tried so hard to kill baby Jesus and baby Moses.)
Please always meditate on Ephesians 6.
Spiritual Warfare
Ephesians 6:10-19
Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force(or weapons) of his explosive power flowing in and through you.
Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser!(or devil)
Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms.
For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage.
Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer(or devil), for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious(or “after you have conquered, you can stand in victory).
Put on truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart. Stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace.
In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!
Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword(the Greek word, machaira, a razor sharp Roman Sword used in closse combat) of the spoken word of God.
Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers. 19 And pray also that God’s revelation would be released through me every time I preach the wonderful mystery of the hope-filled gospel.
***ALL PARENTS OF YOUTH, PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILDREN AND SEE IF THEY ARE READING, PRAYING AND DOING THEIR DAILY TASKS. Praying shouldn’t be more than an hour. Especially if they are in some type of position, it will be so crucial.**
