I Am Selecting a New Breed for Higher Impact

There is joy coming in at the moment, amidst the daring challenges there is a peace God has released. But this is coming because we are looking beyond and seeing the end. For the joy and glory set before us, we are enduring all things and at the moment. Nothing should matter because the end is glorious.

There is a beauty hidden in understanding the covenant upon us in Christ. O’ that I may have time and space. There are treasures hidden in the revelation of the covenant.

Many of us have looked at the covenant as just a compilation of rules, others as a compilation of promises, others think the covenant was made with us and so we have to keep our part of the contract. 

But there is something far too beautiful to see in the covenant.

First, there is an everlasting covenant which is the covenant of Grace. It is the covenant of God’s underserved, unmerited, unconditional favor upon us. 

God never cut this covenant with a man outside of Jesus. I wish I could go into details but understand that the New Testament is the revelation of the Old Testament. Hence with that in mind in the new testament it is said; 

And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. Acts 7:8

Observe carefully the language used above, it is said God gave the covenant of circumcision to Abraham. It does not say Abraham cut a covenant with God but it was given to him and the circumcision of his son Isaac was a proclamation of the covenant.

The covenant was giving to Abraham as a gift. 

This is the covenant of grace not the covenant of the law. The covenant of blessings with no stipulations was given to Abraham, it was not a contract between him and God. All he was to do was to be a proclamation. There was nothing tangible or real in that circumcision;

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Romans 2:28-29

It is said all the outward show that Abraham was doing meant nothing. It was something beyond the natural. Observe the last statement “whose praise is not of men, but of God.” Abraham had nothing to offer, the covenant was all spiritual and nothing of man but all to the glory to God.

It was a picture of the real thing which was done between God and Jesus even before the creation of the world.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8

The covenant was finished before even Abraham was born and it was all spiritual. Apostle Paul explains in more detail;

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Galatians 3:17

The word used above for Confirmed before is the Greek word prokuroo which means to ratify previously (Strong’s Concordance G4300). The covenant was ratified, validated, formally consent by God in Christ even before the creation of the world. It was given to Abraham as a gift.

Secondly, the covenant is not just a compilation of promises or just a set of rules but a person.

Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; Isaiah 49:8

This is a prophecy about Jesus; God said I will give you for a covenant of the people. Jesus is my covenant with God. Jesus is the everlasting covenant. The covenant is a person. The covenant is not just a promises but the person of Jesus.  Christ is all things.

This covenant is between God and God and there is nothing you and I can add to it. We have come too late, it was confirmed, validated, and ratified in Christ even before the creation of the world. Therefore,

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Galatians 3:15

This is why we are told in the book of Hebrews;

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Hebrews 7:22

The word used above for surety is the Greek word egguos which means a pledge, a bondsman (Strong’s Concordance G1450). Jesus is the covenant partner, he is the bondsman.  All stipulations are on him but he has fulfilled all the stipulations and today you and I are just beneficiaries.

 But it does stop there is a third thing out of the many glories to benefit your heart,

Thirdly; when Jesus comes into you, one party of the covenant has entered your life. God is obligated to Jesus and not you. Jesus becomes the pledge that all the promises are yes in your life. 

He now goes on to guarantee every promise, giving you no room for anything but to rest in his grace and sufficiency.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14

He seals you and he is the earnest of the inheritance. The word translated above for earnest is the Greek word arrabon which means a pledge (money or property) given as security(Strong’s Concordance G728). Christ is all.

He becomes the security that all God has promised you will come to pass. This is why the whole story of the gospel is Christ in you the Hope of Glory.

Look within, is Christ still there? Then have hope, it is an unshakable, unbreakable, unchangeable and unstoppable covenant. You are in for a whole lot of blessings!

In an encounter with the LORD, I saw an international body that was setup to select the best fans of national teams of different countries. 

Then I saw that the Body was totally unbiased and went even for the fans of a third world country’s national team and named them the best.  I saw this people celebrating in a stadium full of people.

The Holy Spirit led me to;

For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Isaiah 43:3-4

And again;

 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Isaiah 43:7

Then the LORD said “I am selecting a new breed for higher impact.

 I have created you for my Glory and now is the time of your announcement.

There is nothing I will not give for your safety. I have given all things to bring you from your lowest place to a higher place in me.

In my sight you are precious and eternally irreproachable.

 I will choose you over and over again for my glory because I love you.

You are my perfect choice for all I have called you to do.

Now is the time of your great impact.”

Blessings in Christ,

Heaven Has Released an Answer to Corona Virus

We are already in a new day even though it is looking like we are in a low state of things. This is the moment of God. This is the season God is demonstrating to us his sovereignty.

The things around us may look paltry but God is actually allowing things to be insignificant for his greater glory.

I have understood from scripture and experience that when God speaks promises over his people, in most cases he would allow for a waiting period at which instead of making them sufficient in themselves to fulfill his counsel, I have seen it the other way round.

I see that God will rather allow his people to be diminished in their qualifications, potentials and resources. When we come to that place where the physical can not produce the miracles expected, then we have entered the moment of God.

As crazy as it looks right now, we are in the right spot for the demonstration of God’s power.

 There is no one with the power of raising the dead except God. This is why God will let situations in our lives to die that we may experience his resurrection power.  This was the case of Abraham the father of faith,

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:17

The power of God as a creator is glorified in dead things, God is known to give life to dead things. This is why we must look up at all times, we may have being waiting on God for years and now it seems things are getting worse.

 The reason they have gotten worse is because you have hit the Miracle moment.  God has been waiting for you to enter this moment. God calls those things that be not as though the were. God chooses the things that are not,

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 1Corinthians 1:27-28

You may have received scriptural promises and prophecies but all you see around you has no capacity to effect the fulfillment of the promises. 

Yes, the reason why God has left you that way is because he wants to bless you beyond your imagination.  If what you have for the breakthrough is worth it then you don’t need God. God creates the vacuum to demonstrate his all-sufficiency. 

Yes all is against hope, but you must believe against hope,

Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: Romans 4:18-19

Consider not the deadness of things, consider not the weakness of your faith, consider nothing but keep giving God glory, for you are at the right spot for a miracle. 

God is not fulfilling his promises for you because there exists something with you that can bring forth the breakthrough without his ability.

 God used just a rod to deliver an entire nation from Egypt, God used just a stone to defeat Goliath the giant.  And in most cases God uses nothing from the earth but his Spiritual hosts. 

He used nothing at two different times to defeat the enemies of King Jehoshaphat (Isaiah 37:36, 2Chronicles 20:22-25)

God intends that we know him in all his attributes. There is such a thing as the omnipotence of God, this what God employs when it comes to fulfilling his promises. He does all his will by his greatness.

 Our inadequacy rather lauds our glorifying of him. Keep giving God glory, we are here! Giving glory is the demonstration of your righteousness;

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Romans 4:20-22

In an encounter with the LORD, I heard “heaven has released an answer to Corona Virus” 

And in another  encounter “I saw a believer working with two other people in a healing ministry, then I saw this believer receive a call to separate himself for the work the LORD had called him to do, to start up his own healing ministry. All of a sudden I saw the two people he was working with in ministry begin to immediately treat him with negligence. But he went along and began his work. I saw the hand of God upon this one, I saw him reap results in folds out of his work. Despite the attempt by the others to kill his morale, the LORD was with him.”

Coming out the Spirit led me to the story of Jacob in the house of Laban.  The LORD spoke a lot  in that story, but lets take these few verses;

And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. Genesis 31:1-3

Then the LORD Said; “My glory is upon you, My covenant is with you which is the reason for the persecution.

But I have hedged you all about. I AM your protection and Guard. I AM keeping you.

 I AM attending to all you do with my blessings by My Outstretched  Arm.  

Do not be afraid, No harm shall befall you.

Move on, the enemy cannot stop you now, you are unstoppable because I AM with you.”

Let Go

Stand firm in the grace of God. Stand and watch God fulfill his counsel upon your life.

As you stand in the grace of God the law speaking against you and all the negative prophecies will witness the grace of God manifested in fulfilling his purpose on you.

There is something about passion or affection. Passion is not something evil but it can be used by the enemy as an inroad. It is good to have passion for the salvation of others.

It is good to have passion that the LORD use you in doing mighty works.  It is good to passion to be healed, to live prosperously.  

It is good to have passion for spiritual gifts but there is better way to go about it.

There is something as inordinate affection. 

This is passion for something whether it is for a good thing manipulated upon by the enemy.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:  Colossians 3:5

The word translated above for inordinate affection is from the Greek word pathos which means suffering and a passion.

 When passion for anything introduces suffering, know that the enemy’s hand is on it. Know that idolatry has found its way in.

If you have passion for your child to be saved and it gives you sleepless nights, you are not far from idolatry. 

If You have passion for your business, your church to grow and you cannot be happy at the level you are, know that idolatry has found its way in. 

The desire has become inordinate. It has become inappropriate even though it is for something good.

This is why most hearts are heavy. There is a weight and a fear of the unknown that weighs them down. 

The enemy will come at you in ways only the Holy Ghost can help you discern.

But there is a way out.

 First, consider yourself inadequate and evil outside of God. Know that in you dwells no good thing. 

But  understand that God wants you well, 

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.Mathew 8:17

God loves your sons more than you love them and wants them saved. He gave his own son for your sons and he is working all things together to bring them to that place where they will cry out for the Spirit.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13

God wants you to prosper more that you can ever imagine.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John1:2

If you are a preacher, remember Jesus said I will build my Church. He never said you should build his church for him. Except the LORD builds and watches over his house you are laboring in vain.

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. Mathew 16:18

Secondly, The work of salvation was initiated by God, God said “let us” you were not in that meeting. It was concluded and all things made ready before you were created.

Understand that All things have being done. Ours is to enter that rest through faith.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.Hebrew 4:9-10

Why do you need rest?

 Because salvation is not found in your name, Salvation is found in no other name but Jesus and he has said enter my rest for it is finished. I have accomplished your salvation. Cease from worry, cease from panicking, cease from trying to become for;

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. Ecclesiastes 3:14

In an encounter, I heard from the mouth of a lady saying to two people intending to leave her “I let go, I do not care what happens”

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1Peter 5:7

I am burning the bridges

This is a pivotal moment; the enemy is trying so hard to lay facts before God’s people so they can turn back from following God’s counsel. 

These are facts, what he is presenting before you is physically true but look beyond. See beyond, and be of good cheer for Jesus has overcome for us.

We have the mind of Christ and we have to put this mind on at all times. If we be carnally minded we are already dead.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6

Observe that the above verse does not say carnal mindedness tends to death but it is says to be carnally minded is death. Carnal mindedness equals death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

A lot of people think of carnal mindedness as gross sinfulness. Yes carnal mindedness is death as a whole which is a product of sin. But there is something more to this word. 

The Greek word for carnal above is the word sarx  which speaks of flesh as stripped of the skin, the meat of an animal, the body as opposed to soul and spirit or the symbol of what is external , etc (Strong’s Concordance G4563).

To be carnally minded just means to set your mind or think on things from the physical perspective and not from the spiritual viewpoint.

To be spiritually minded is to be word minded. To view all things through the word, for Jesus said;

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63

Now let’s see how this works. The word of God says;

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1Peter 2:24

 It says by whose stripes we were healed, Past tense. We are not going to be healed but we were healed.

But I tell you the truth if you go by the physical facts that happen to us, if you look at what most of us are going through right now you will deny the word and declare that it is not true.

Nevertheless, if you decide to practice spiritual mindedness, you will set your mind upon this word until the revelation comes to you effecting what has already been done in the Spirit.

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29

In other words the above verse is saying, If it is a secret to you, you will never see the manifestation. Until it becomes a revelation, until it is illuminated to you by the Spirit it is real but still belonging to God.

This is why meditation, imagination are key to possessing the promises. We cannot afford to be lazy if we want to see the manifestations.

We must put off the mind of the flesh, the mind that looks at things on the physical and set our hearts on things of the spirit. Paul was surprised at the Corinthian Church in his second letter and asked;

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? 2Corinthians 10:7

Yes, we must look beyond the natural. We must look with the eyes of our hearts until we see the word as our reality. The word becomes real;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2Corinthians 10:7

In an encounter with the LORD; I saw him destroying foundations, then I heard “I am burning the bridges behind my people and establishing them on a new level”

The Holy Ghost witnessed;

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19

Then the LORD said; “This is your time to live in the new. I am destroying the things that held you captive and releasing you into the greater new.

I have ordained peace for you.  The foundations of the deep are now broken, rivers of living water will flow from your belly.

Do not look back at your wilderness, do not look at your dry grounds, for I have made a way and you are being  filled with my life abundantly.”

Treasures are Coming to Zion

Get up, it’s a shot to the heart, it is meant to weaken you. Get over it. look to Jesus your righteousness, ignore those voices of accusation. It is by his life that God has ordained success for you. You shall be saved by that very life.

There is a mystery about the blood of Jesus. Oh that we may understand the revelation behind the blood. 

Many look at the blood as though it were animal blood. Many think the substance of the blood is liquid. As long as we believe in the blood it is good but there is a richer understanding that opens up the door for a greater experience of the life.

A lack of understanding of the blood has led many to the doctrine of born again, again… 

Some people just keep getting born again again all the time after they miss the mark.

 Some keep using this language of “applying the blood.” And some “get under the blood,”

Brother if you are out of the blood for a second after been saved the enemy will so devour you that they will be nothing of you found, lest you go back to the blood.

Now look at what the scripture speaks of the blood;

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1Peter 1:18-19

The above verse makes a very good contrast between the blood and gold and silver. The blood is contrasted with corruptible things.

 It is said the blood of Jesus is not like something which is corruptible as gold and silver. O that you may grasp it. It means the blood is incorruptible. It is not like gold and silver that can be corrupted.

This is saying that when you are redeemed by this blood, you have received eternal redemption. You are without blame and spotless, you are incorruptible. You eternally stand without reproach before the eyes of God.  Don’t blame me, I didn’t say it, the scriptures say so.

Under the law, Moses attempted to reveal the representation of blood;

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Leviticus 17:11

Oh Moses went very close. He says the life is in the blood. But the book of Hebrews blows it up, it says we have to Zion;

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things that that of Abel. Hebrews 12:24

O the blood has a voice, the blood speaks. But what does the blood speak?  

We are told from the above verse “better things.” Expect better things to happen to you this season for that is what the blood is speaking for you.

But lets move on a little now that we have known that the blood has a voice. The next verse completely reveals the blood

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:Hebrews 12:25

Ah! I do not know if this is proper but let me put it this way, the Blood is a HIM. That’s what the above verse says. The blood is a person. See that you refuse not him that speaks “better things.” The blood is the person of Jesus.  This is why the blood is incorruptible.

As long as I am in him, I am incorruptible. I am in him forever, hence I am washed forever.  I am clean forever. I am perfected forever.

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Hebrews 10:14

In an encounter with the LORD, I heard the LORD say “I will so much treasure her, treasures are coming to Zion.”

The Holy Spirit witnessed;

Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
