The Role Of Modern Christian Ministry
The Lord has anointed us to preach the good news in a new perspective, new ideology removed from the focus on the material world but believe in the law of the spirit because man cannot live by bread alone. Our God is Spirit and everything He made is Spirit and nothing is natural. There is no world, but you are the world for the Lord made it for you before you were created. The world is energy and the energy is beautiful, wonderful, amazing, astonishing and the Lord made it in that way for you to live in abundance because the energy in itself is abundance for you to rejoice and be glad in it. If you see it with these wonderful blessings and abundance which the Lord has bestowed on it, then you will have it but if you go on looking at it as a wicked and evil world that is exactly what you will be getting. You can only get what you can see and cannot get what you cannot see even in your spiritual eyes. You are born to reign in ministry, politics, business and any trade or profession of your chosen and leave out mediocrity. Remember, when Pilate asked Jesus if He was the King of the Jews, He replied ‘for this reason I was born’ (John 18:37). My brother, know now that you are here to reign. Praise God!
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord”. Luke 4:18-19 (KJV). The good news is that He has given us all things to enjoy freely – His awesome gifts of internal life, abundance, good success are all in the belief system. Deliverance is your ability to remove that evil mindset of fear, of failure, sickness and lack. These fears do not exist anywhere except in your mind and the earlier you remove them; the sooner you begin to see the glory of the Lord. As you come out of this bondage, start looking at life from different angles so that you will not be seeing those same things again. Your belief will do a lot to take you to the Promised Land. You can see that it is only a few people that succeed in life because many more have the negative mindset. Only those that talk and walk in the success can see success in reality.
You do not have to work too hard to make it in life, but with a good mindset, you can ask the mountain to move and it shall obey you. Look at when the Lord was preaching out of town and He felt that His audience were hungry and He asked His disciples if there was any bread for the people to eat? Philip replied even two hundred denarii worth of bread will not be enough, and Andrew replied that there is a lad with five loaves of bread and two fishes, and He asked them to bring them to Him. The Lord was able to use the five loaves and two fishes to feed the five thousand because He does not think about lack or limitation. He believes in more than enough or abundance and that has always been His mindset and He got His results. The worst sin we commit is our inability to provide for our families even though the Lord has made all things abundant for us. We are not often taught in a way to understand that most challenges we are faced with; including poverty, sickness and even death are through our thought systems. If we look at repentance and salvation, many pastors or teachers have refused to teach this very important foundation of Christian faith. A good man out of the good treasures in his heart bringeth forth good fruits but an evil man will bring forth evil fruit. (Luke 6:45). You cannot sow poverty or lack and get more than enough or abundance.
Repentance and salvation are functions of the heart. They are designed to get you to start thinking in a different direction. Getting Christians to renew their minds and their mental attitudes to start reasoning like Christ. Christians or Christianity is meant to be ‘Christ-like’ and have the mindset of Christ. Repentance is designed to get you to change your dreams, visions and aspirations to be in line with God’s purpose for you. Very often man’s heart is clotted with fear of one thing or the other which do not even exist. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”. (2 Timothy 1:7).
Before one can begin to do well and think like Christ the saviour, he must, first of all, understand who he is, why he was created and where he is going because this world is a journey. Everyone has a purpose and destination and we are not meant to sit still or go in circles, be spectators every day and year. Men do that because we have lost our connection with our creator and maker who made us in His own image and likeness. You can only begin to comprehend what life holds for you when you begin to understand the laws of the Spirit because our God is Spirit and everything He has created are spirits including you and me and all the vegetation because He has His fingerprint in all things He has created and we are all linked together with each other, through Him and in Him.
Now let us look at the spirit or power of God, for the power of God is energy such as the sun, moon, stars, the seas, the air and the wind to mention a few. They are abundant and are not lacking in any form and we can generate more energies from every one of them. These powers or energies were created before man was made and they are made for man including the earth, and not man for them and they are made in abundance for us to freely enjoy. Man is the greatest spirit which the Lord has made on earth with the greatest energy to create and recreate what the Lord has already done because he is made in his Father’s image and likeness. The brain only contains more than fifteen billion cells and most of them are dormant as most of us cannot even think but are always weeping and asking for alms. Man is designed to be innovative, take initiatives, proactive, systematic and see success, victory, triumph, abundance, wealth, internal life and life without limits because all comes from the Lord and we are the Lord’s and linked and connected with Him.
Let us also look at the spirit of Love which is the greatest for God Himself is Love. This energy is the greatest grace, for any person that has it must get to the greatest height in whatever he is or intends to do. It is the easiest to get because it is God and God is in us but all we need to do is to see ourselves as such and dwell and walk in the light of God’s love. The first step is for us to love ourselves first because we cannot love another person if we do not love ourselves first. If you love yourself, you will not want to do anything to hurt yourself or another person because any evil or bad you to do to yourself or another will come back to hunt you. It is a law of the spirit which says ‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked: whatsoever a man sows that he shall reap’ (Galatians 6:7), or cause and effect. If you despise others, they will probably also despise you. If you love all, you will find that the spirit of love will be upon you and the heavens and the earth will love you without any exception. You will have open doors of good, great and mighty things which are all supernatural. Where every other person fails, you must succeed because you have the great grace of love. Of course, there may be very few people who may still not like you because they are averse to good things and are suffering from the evil spirit of envy. Still love them, do not give it back to them because their evil will remain in them until they are able to change. If you think of hating them because they hate you, you become like them and could miss the great grace which is already in you which comes with love. “Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?” (Proverbs 27:4).
We now come to the final point of sound mind which is the quality of a repentant Christian. It is the quality of a born again Christian purged with the blood of the Lamb and sanctified and filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the power, spirit or energy of God through which all things were made and they live and manifest in us. A sound mind is one without fear of any form of evil such as sickness, lack, failure, barrenness, disappointment and other fears. A bold man is a man who is not afraid of challenges and willing and able to hold the bull by the horn. A good man must have a clear, clean, concise and positive mental attitude. He must be one of those with the ‘I can do’ attitude, and ‘willing and able to do’ mindsets. Must have the mind of miracles, signs and wonders in their heart because our God himself is a miracle, how He came to be and how He created the heavens, the earth and all other planets. He is His own miracle and we and all other creatures are also miracles and products of His miracle and partakers of His divine miracles. Our Lord, the King Jesus, is a miracle and performed many miracles and said that we shall perform greater miracles if we only believe. Miracles beget miracles, it is a mindset of miracles that generates miracles. It is only the mindset of healing that gets healing and only the mindset of wealth that creates wealth. Some people, out of ignorance think themselves into depression, sickness, poverty and even death.
A man with a sound mind has a confident mind; he has distinct steps and does not walk sluggishly but with style. He is always tidy with a good appearance, full of hope. His mindset is that of success, victory, good life, prosperity, and is outgoing and keeps like-minded friends. They don’t see setbacks as a failure but something or a lesson to learn from and move on. They have no ‘quitting’ agenda or procrastinating during their projects. Successful pastors in the ministries, businessmen and other professionals who have made it do not see the obstacles as to why they could not make it but always believe that, that which the Lord has put in their heart is highly achievable no matter how difficult it might look. We should stop talking and blaming our race/colour, origin, environment, age, gender, education/training and other handicaps considering that there are many others in even worst conditions but good mental attitudes who are excelling in their lives.
