The 21 days exercise has been a fantastic journey filled with experiences: some quite tough but to God be the glory as we learn a lot by necessary experience (Rom. 5:3-5). Testimonies also abound of the revival, revelational and restoration experiences from the messages.
Today, we are concluding the program so as to immediately commence the Lord’s business, with the message at hand.
Topic: DWELLING IN THE DROUGHT-FREE DIMENSION
Subtexts: Zeph.3:14,15; Heb.3:8-13,17-19, 4:1-11
From the foundation of the world, the Lord’s will is for man to depend on Him. And so after the fall, He revealed the program and actualize it through the death of Jesus (Gen.3:15, Jn.19:30). Apostle Paul showed that the “shadow-rest” of Canaan land was denied the disobedient, yet the entry into the Promised Land wasn’t the true rest (Heb. 4:8-10). The true rest is marked by cessation from one’s own works, and that one labours to get into it (Heb. 4:11).
While there is the ultimate rest which takes place as the final salvation (Phil.2:12), there is a precursor state in which grace flows to keep one in God’s rest (Gal.2:20, Phil.4:13). This is the drought-free dimension in which all needs to come into at this time of Divine availability – revival (Zeph.3:15, Jn.7:37, Phil.4:12-13).
It is time to do some little work to get into greatness as perspiration is the principal path to spiritual prosperity (Gal. 6:7). So we shall be listing the factors that will enable Dwelling in Drought free Dimension
- Promote Jesus at any available opportunity; repenting seriously whenever an opportunity is lost ( Matt.28:19,20, Jn.20:21, 1Cor.9:16)
- Pursue after spirituality which is divine love, which is God’s nature and what our Master (whose students we are) practiced (Jn.13:34,35, 1Cor.13:1-7)
- Participate in spiritual exercises and jettison carnality (Rom.8:5-7, Gal.5:17,19-21)
- Preserve the awareness of our time, the mechanism of victory, and the age of awesome amazement in your mind, for it takes understanding to get established (cons. 1Cor.12:32, Pro.24:3, Pt.1:12)
- Persevere in integrity and vow not to be associated with any unbecoming phenomenon (2Cor.4:2, 6:3, 1Tim.4:2)
- Practice dependence on God and be intentional in all your dealings (Jn.15:2, 5-7,16, Phil.2:13; 1Cor.9:26, Pro.29:18)
- Partner with the authority, and always put up a friendly disposition to those placed above you (Jn.15:14-15, Heb.13:7-17). We are a corrective ministry from whom others should learn. However, there is something many other ministries have come to know that we should learn and emulate – that is investing into the lives of our pastors: to enjoy the prophet’s reward (Matt.10:41, Phil.4:10-12, 15-19).
With these 7 pillars of conduct in mind, the abundance of God’s grace shall carry you into the realm of divine rest, even the drought-free dimension.
