Walk Worthy of Your Calling

You must walk worthy because it is a privilege to be chosen.It is truly a privilege to be chosen by the Lord. To be saved is the highest privilege a human being could have. When I consider the millions of people who live and die,never knowing the Lord, I consider it my greatest blessing to be saved.

When I consider my friends and relatives who do not know the Lord, I am eternally grateful for my salvation. What more could I ask for. Yet there seems to be something higher that God is giving to some of us - a call to ministry! This truly is the mercy of God. That is why you must walk worthy. To work for God is the opportunity very few people in the world will ever have.

Charity

Charity is defined as the unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. It is the selfless love of one person for another. Most people love others when they have a good reason to do so. But God loves us with agape love (charity) even though there is no good reason to do so. Some how, people who have charity prosper and receive even more blessings from the Lord. If you only do good because you think of reward you do not have charity. Develop true charity today and you will be blessesd.

The Blood Of The Lamb

Wow. What a day?! We thank God for yet another wonderful and historic Good Friday Miracle Service today in Accra, Ghana. What a blessing! Thousands of members from the Lighthouse Chapel International denomination in the Accra and Tema metropolis gathered at the Independence Square of Ghana to experience and enjoy this year's miracle service. The Lord was with us. I preached about "The Blood of Lamb" and by the grace of God, many many souls were won for Christ. We heard fantastic testimonies of miraculous escapes from death and we witnessed amazing testimonies of healing tonight. It was an honour to have the President of Ghana, President John Mahama grace the occasion with his presence and also to address the gathering. ARCHBISHOP NICHOLAS DUNCAN WILLIAMS , our papa, also honoured us greatly with his presence and powerful prayers for the nation and the church. For those of us who were unable to make it to the service or catch it LIVE on Healing Jesus Tv, the message will be available for download on my podcast. Do make it a point to download and "soak in" and I believe that your life will never be the same again! God bless you and may you be a wonder to many this year!

Four Things You Should Know about Diligence

1.) Diligence is the personal trait that makes a person rich. Almost every rich person is a diligent person. He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of THE DILIGENT MAKETH RICH. Proverbs 10:4 2.) Diligence is the personal trait that makes a person a leader. Most leaders are rich and prosperous because they are ahead of everyone they lead. The hand of the DILIGENT SHALL BEAR RULE: but the slothful shall be under tribute. Proverbs 12:24 3.) Diligence is the personal trait that makes a person have ideas that lead to abundance and wealth. The THOUGHTS OFTHE DILIGENT TEND ONLY TO PLENTEOUSNESS; but of every one that is hasty only to want. Proverbs 21:5 4.) Diligence is the personal trait that leads to promotion Seest thou a man diligent in his business? HE SHALL STAND BEFORE KINGS; he shall not stand before mean men. Proverbs 22:29 In history, diligence is what has created wealthy, successful people.

Forgiveness Made Easy

Unforgiveness is not seen physically, many Christians feel that they can get away with it. But it is deadly if it is left unchecked in your heart. God will not hear your prayer, and He will not prosper or bless you if unforgiveness lingers in your life.

God will be angry with you, because He forgave you, but you would not forgive others! Remember, the bible tells us the Lord was wroth with His servant for not forgiving. In addition, the bible says the man who did not forgivee his brother was handed over to the tormentors.

Blessings

Lord, I declare Your blessing upon Your children today in Jesus name! Amen.

Examples

Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Mark 1:16-20

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me

John 10:27

People like David, Abraham and Joshua are given to us to learn from and to follow. They inherited the promises of God and obtained good reports. Their lives are open books for us to learn from. Every day when you read the Bible you can learn from something Abraham did or something David did. Follow people that lived in Bible times.

Because the Bible was not written to impress anyone it contains realities of people’s lives. Nothing much is covered up and we are ministered to by their lives as they happened.

There are also people who served the Lord in generations gone by. These people whose lives and stories are written about, are powerful examples that you will be able to relate with.

I have been particularly blessed to follow the lives and ministry of several of God’s generals who died just a generation before I arrived. People like Kathryn Khulman, William Branham, Jack Coe and A.A. Allen were powerful healing prophets whose lives continually minister to me. I do not see how I could have made it in the ministry without receiving the blessings that I learn from these people. Their names may not be recorded in the Bible but their lives and ministries are very significant to our destiny . Do not be a minister who does not read biographies. It is also important to follow people who lived after Bible times.

PERFECTION

Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Hebrews 2:9-18

For it became him... in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Hebrews 2:10

God wants you to experience suffering because it makes you perfect. The word perfect means to make you complete. We are incomplete without suffering. A person who has had no problems in this life lacks something. He lacks the element that makes him complete and mature. Life on this earth includes suffering of all kinds. Once you have not experienced some kind of suffering there is a level of maturity that you simply lack.

God wants you to experience suffering because it will make you obedient. “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered” (Hebrews 5:8). The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ became obedient through the things that He suffered.

Jesus Christ was holy and without sin. Yet His obedience to God depended on Him suffering certain things. You must also experience some suffering if you are to fully obey God.

Sometimes we think it is stubborn and bad people who need to suffer in order to make them obedient. But good people also need some suffering to prod them on into perfect obedience. When you experience hardships and suffering, ask yourself what the Lord is trying to get you to do. “What does He want me to obey? What does He want me to do for Him?”

THE ANOINTED

Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Hebrews 1:6-9

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 2 Corinthians 1:21

It is important to associate closely with a man of God in order to receive the anointing on his life. Why do you have to associate with anointed men of God? What exactly do you acquire through association? As you closely associate with a man of God, you will hear him speaking over and over again. These words contain the anointing. When Elisha associated himself closely with Elijah he heard him speaking over and over again.

Words are powerful! Jesus told His disciples that his words contained two important things. They contained life and the Spirit! What is this Spirit? The Spirit is the anointing! The Scripture says that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power (Acts 10:38). Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost, and therefore the Holy Ghost (the substance with which he was anointed) is the anointing.

“…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63).

For many people, the close association with men of God we speak about is not possible except through the medium of books and tapes. Books and tapes may contain the words of anointed men of God. The words of anointed men of God contain the Spirit and life.

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you!

RESISTANCE

READ: Deuteronomy 31:16-30

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft...

1 Samuel 15:23

The spirit of Lucifer operates in those who leave in rebellion.

The spirit of Lucifer is the spirit that moves out of place and out of rank! Satan is the archetypal rebel who left the service of God and became an enemy . “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” (Isaiah 14:14-15).

He has since then inspired all rebels and leavers. Satan’s prime or principal aim is to destabilise the church you are building and destroy the work of God.

The best way he can do it is to poison your leadership team and give them reasons to leave you. Satan is the spirit of destruction and he has targeted the pillars of your church. Satan desperately wants to pull down your “spiritual building” and he knows that if he can bring down the pillars, the whole building will come crashing down. This is why he targets your associate pastors, your co-workers and your important people. This is why you must focus on your leaders. Satan is focusing on them whether you believe it or not. He is working hard to poison them and to turn them against you. He is working hard to sow the seeds of doubt, fear and confusion in the people you trust most. Satan is working on the hearts of the people who are most important to your mission. You better rise up and teach them the things that will stabilise their hearts.

The Grace of God

Grace is defined as the unmerited favor of God. Do not forget that it takes the grace of God to do anything in life. Do not describe God's gifts to you as though they were your own achievements. Watch out for people who speak as though they accomplish all that they do without God's grace. Decide not to make comments that forget the grace of God. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works , lest any man should boast....

2016 or year of serving the Lord!!
