RISE AND SHINE

IT’S TIME TO RISE AND SHINE

You have a voice! Under the leadership and Lordship of Jesus Christ! It’s all coming together! The message you carry and the call given has come with the fire of Daddy’s presence! Kept you when you’ve seen assassins! Where that call has led you to a cave to not die! God is leading you out with power to fulfil the call, you shall see the mystery of his favour make way!

Timothy’s ministry in Ephesus was addressing deceptive doctrines under Gnosticism- false teachers who didn’t believe Jesus was resurrection life! Entrenched in culture, myths and traditions, devoid of power that builds up and strengthens the church in the faith of God! We’re called to love other’s deeply from the overflow of our hearts! It’s the Spirit of God in us, working through us in partnership from the start! Where you’ve seen much folly around message and function, you’re going to see God has made a way preservation of your life for the call!

In prayer for you today, I heard this old song we would sing back in the ’80’s in the pentecostal Churches!

“I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, let the weak say I am strong!

I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, let the weak say I am strong!

He has clothed me in the garments of Salvation!

He has poured His Spirit out over me!

And in the name of Jesus, we’ll set the captives free!

I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, let the weak say I am strong!”

The Church needs the 5 fold restored! Team work, collaboration the power of God! Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers are of God! The Parable of the Wedding feast, few choose to be chosen speaks of salvation through Christ alone! He makes all things known! By his blood, the redeemed come as worthy, pure, chosen!

You’re going to be rewarded in heaven for what’s been done in and through your life through faith alone!

Some of you are advisors. You’re oiled to guide and advise through the Door. The King of Glory true north! Influence is God’s part. There’s work to be done, team players, together, boots on ground, as sons!

Following in the call, in the talents and gifts you have been given with a heart that’s contrite, humble, wants only to see the glory and fame of the Lord!

Daddy calls you kings and queens! Servant sons! Ones who STOP FOR THE ONE!

For some of you it seems like small, it seems like delay, for others the way you’ve come through this journey has said more about you, your character, the fortitude, the guts to keep going when mistakes were made, development of skills and the wisdom of God was and is process to unfold. You are bright shining stars! Not shooting stars, stars that shine bright in the dark night!

Not too proud, too this, too that, you count it all as dung in place of the knowing intimately the one who hung!

Miracles come! Leaders rise! You’re going to be rewarded for what’s done by faith and faith alone in Christ!

Some of you it’s the courage to stay at your post! Plugged in, raised up, raising others’ up! Seeing other’s come through launched amid the challenges, sacrifices, cost and uncomfortable too!

Other’s it’s time to step out of the boat! Out of the past failings, out of defeat, pivot like a gazelle where you’ll see God’s presence meet!

You have a function, you have a place, you have a part! 2025 is a turning point for many called from the start!

We’re seeing hearts come into alignment, souls crying out! The power of love breaking through strongholds, breaking through with mercy’s kiss, leading hearts!

With laser focus, plugged in, cherished, loved, honoured, as you do your part without comparing, without buckling under intimidation, lack of understanding, confusion and folly over half-truths, theology that’s unpacked with man’s folly, without feeling less than! You’re going to taste the sweetness of Holy Spirits harmony in this hour! All for One, One for all! The KING of GLORY calls you powerful, not small!
