PARTAKING IN DIVINE AGENDA
Memorise: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob
forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Luke
1:33
Read: Luke 1:31-33, Bible in one year: Nehemiah 4:1-6:14,
John 7:1-24
When God says He will do a thing, He is telling you what He
has already done in the realm of the Spirit. It is already a
settled matter. If He says He will give you peace, it means
that peace is already released to you. Every good promise
that God has made to you shall become reality shortly in
Jesus’ Name. When Jesus made this promise in Matthew
16:18:
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon
this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.”
He was simply saying something He had already done. He
was telling Peter what He had already finished, long before
Peter was born. Luke 1:33 declares that there is no end to
the increase of God’s kingdom. This means that whether the
devil and the world like it or not, the church will keep
marching on. It also means that even when you do not know
how to access to the funds you need to build that local
assembly to the glory of God’s Name, God knows. He has
already provided for all the churches that would be built in
His Name, even before the foundation of the world was laid.
This is why I know that you will not be stranded or frustrated
over the assignment of enlarging God’s kingdom on earth.
God’s provision for your assignment shall be evident this
season in Jesus’ Name.
Moreover, it is important to note that since God has set out
to build His church, if you cooperate with Him, He can use
you to build His kingdom. Building His church is God’s
agenda. God is looking for those who will cooperate with
Him to establish His agenda of building His church. Are you
willing to partner with Him? Long ago, God decided that He
would take a general from the Syrian army and turn him
into a worshipper of Jehovah (2nd Kings 5:1-19). In today’s
setting, it is like saying God wants to take to take the Sultan
of Sokoto (the traditional head of Muslims in Nigeria) and
turn him into an evangelist or a pastor. Some people will say
this is impossible, but with God nothing shall be impossible
(Luke 1:37). Once He has set out His plan, and His Word has
gone forth, He will do it. To get Naaman to become a
worshipper of the Living God, the Lord needed someone to
cooperate with Him. It was a housemaid in Naaman’s
household who told her mistress that there was a prophet in
Israel who could cure her husband’s leprosy. Like this
housemaid, are you ready to cooperate with the Lord in
building His church?
ACTION POINT :
Every child of God has a role to play in building the
kingdom of God. So, don’t just sit on the fence!
