V I have been in prayer and fasting seeking God's will,
plan and purposes for my life.
V Afterwards I asked God a question: "What is the lesson I must bring out of this?"
V God said: "By obeying Me as to when, how and the what of your prayer and fasting you have saved a lot of people, including yourself, not only from spiritual death but physical death."
V God listed people and events that He had changed or impacted using me as the vessel and the crucial role I had played in their lives and situations during the specified period of obedience. For some it was just to speak comforting and strengthening words into their lives and some it was to go lay hands, some to pray for them in the closet.
V He said when I instruct, command, that instruction / command carries grace, power and anointing to bring about fulfilment and successful execution of my mandate. When I choose a vessel for a mandate n there is obedience it is an automatic promotion and growth in grace, power and anointing.
V The converse is true: disobedience means the vessel forfeits the “match” and any benefits that come with that “match”. It means the vessel automatically forfeits that particular season in their life until such time, if it does come again, for the next season. Whatever lessons you would have learnt from that season also go down the drain. What of the fruits that you would have borne during the forfeited season?
V e.g. if a child fails a particular grade (irrespective of the reason for failure) that child must repeat that grade again for the next year, meaning 2 years for the same grade, his / her peers r no longer in the same level with that child, they no longer speak the same language, their class work, homework, text books, teachers and sometimes even the uniforms will be different, sometimes even their diets, and sometimes the geographical locations (if the peers have moved to the next level which requires moving to another school like from primary to secondary or to tertiary level).
V God pointed me to Adam and Eve: the original sin in Genesis was disobedience to the Lord’s word / instruction / command. Adam was created to be fruitful, to multiply and to
V Rom 5:18-19 states: “18 Well then, as one man's trespass [one man's false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man's act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men.
19 For just as by one man's disobedience (failing to hear, heedlessness, and carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man's obedience the many will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into right standing with Him). “ AMP.
One man produced many sinners (now when you are in disobedience, you are assisting the devil's cause,). Whose agent you are is not about what you say with your mouth but what you say with your actions for you the bible says
Matt 7:16: “16 You will fully recognize them by their fruits….
20 Therefore, you will fully know them by their fruits.
21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.” AMP
V If your deeds are destroying God's people and leading them into sin or disobedience to God’s word, instructions or commands you are not God's agent but for that particular deed and season you are an agent of darkness, whether you like it or not.
V It is about the results that your actions bring / produce. If your intentions are correct but still produces wrong / evil fruits then it means something needs to be adjusted so that your intentions and your fruits speak one and the same language.
V Adam's sin made many sinners. What is your sin (disobedience) doing to God's people? Is it building, killing or destroying people (which people are made in the very image of God): Are you a child of disobedience? Eph 2:2 “2 In which at one time you walked [habitually]. You were following the course and fashion of this world [were under the sway of the tendency of this present age], following the prince of the power of the air. [You were obedient to and under the control of] the [demon] spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience [the careless, the rebellious, and the unbelieving, who go against the purposes of God].” AMP
V God continued and said to me: "If you had disobeyed Me, what do you suppose would / could have happened to the people u impacted?"
V Jesus Christ had to come because Adam missed / failed his mandate. Do you want God to replace u? The scripture in Rom 5:18-19 states: “18 Well then, as one man's trespass [one man's false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man's act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men. 19 For just as by one man's disobedience (failing to hear, heedlessness, and carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man's obedience the many will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into right standing with Him). “ AMP.
V If and when God replaces you, it means you are robbing your children (spiritual and natural) of their inheritance as the inheritance will go with the new incumbent who will leave it for his her children.
V Men and women of God, God says “I send my people to you to shepherd them: what you do with them, their lives will determine not only your rewards but also where you will spend eternity, so please consider your ways.”
V As the bible says, each and every one of us must “…continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,” Phil 2:12 NIV. The AMP puts it thus: “…work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).
V In conclusion, the bible says: “22 Samuel said, Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim (household good luck images). …” 1 Sam 15:22-23 AMP
“24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you; 26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).” Num 6:24-26, AMP.
