WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD?

WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD?

EPHESIANS 4:1-12

The introduction is an instruction ‘I beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.

There is something going on in today’s ministry that is highly disheartening. The message from the pulpit is fast depreciating from what the master have sent us (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19). We have resorted into mere criticism of others ministries rather walk worthy of our own calling.

The teachers now see the prophet as lacking the mystery of the word while the prophet sees the teacher as a mere talkative lacking the vision from above. The evangelist is seen as nobody while the Apostle see himself as super man forgetting Ephesians 4:2-3

- with all lowliness (another word for humility)

- meekness (extreme calmness)

- longsuffering (endurance)

- forbearing in love(tolerance).

Then the doctrine of prayer now comes in, note verse 4, there is one body and one spirit , even as ye are called in one hope of your calling .

I read from a blog where a preacher said it is evil to pray against demon and those who claimed to be warfare Evangelist are mere propagandist. I asked myself the meaning of this text Matthew 7:7-8 , Jesus spoke about three (3) levels of prayers

- Asking and receiving (Inquiring through prayer)

We all need direction, I mean divine, so there is need to ask from God what we don’t know or what need James 1:5 . simple prayer, I called this!

- Seeking and finding (praying to discover the missing virtue), can you start looking or searching for a thing that is not missing NO! but it is possible for someone to loose a virtue and there is need to search and Jesus

gave the assurance that we will find.

- Knocking and opening (breaking siege through rigorous prayer), if the door is not closed, you can’t knock, open doors does not need knocking, so it is possible for doors to be closed either by sin or the

invasion of the enemy, why man slept his enemy came…..and also Ephesians 6:10-12

Can somebody read the content of Genesis 27:39- 40

And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; And by thy sword

shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

That is a typical warfare charging.

It is ignorance of the highest order when you attack or discourage those giving the insight of these things.

Jesus cast out the demons in Mary Magdalene before she became His friend, so why condemn the man called to cast out demons, is it a sin that God empower a man

to see and to cast a demon?

Read the exploit of Prophet Elisha in 2 Kings 5-9, then tell me where we get the doctrine on condemnation.

Let the prophet tell me where we should put the word of Jesus in Matthew 28:19 to teach the world the gospel of the kingdom win and baptize them. The teaching ministry. Where do we put the Evangelist?

The word Apostle means ‘the called, follower or chosen’. It is also believed to mean someone who can operate in all offices as seen in the 12 disciples of Jesus.

The ugly truth is abide in the master if you must bring forth good fruit.. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same

bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

We are not equally gifted so make sure the portion giving to you is well taking care of.

Like the story in Matthew 20:1-14, most of us have forgotten the bargain with the master and have chosen to start chancing shadows, abide in Jesus and not in useless doctrine of human ego. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

I am for Paul and Apollo is another problem killing the spread of the gospel, we now spend relevant time on the irrelevance.

Brethren, face your calling and bring honour to the one who have invested in you Matthew 25:14-24 , it cost Him His first glory and earthly torment in the hand of

Pharisees and their cohorts.

Let not these things be heard among you, Ephesians 5:3-6 

The other day, I read on another blog where the writer said Paul is not of God and his teaching should be discarded then I asked myself why in God’s name?

God is not the author of confusion in His body, whoever is preaching another gospel is not of Jesus but of self and satan.

Why in God’s name should we abandon our godly mission for envy, jealous, wrath, strife when souls are perishing? God bless you till we meet next time.
