3 Keypoints From: Keep It To Yourself

  • Greatness comes with many responsibilities, including being able to keep secrets.
  • God also has secrets, and if you are close to Him and truly reverence Him, He will begin to tell you some of them.
  • As a believer, it is not everything that God tells you that you should tell other people. There are certain things God tells you that are for your ears only.

  • “When God tells you something, always ask Him if they are for your ears only or if He wants you to tell others. Can God trust you with His secrets?

    MEMORISE: A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;Ecclesiastes 3:7

    3 Keypoints From: True Deliverance

  • Jesus Christ cast demons out of people during His earthly ministry, and He also charged all Christians to do the same thing. (Matthew 10:8)
  • Deliverance, however, is beyond casting out demons. True deliverance happens when a demon is unable to return and repossess a fellow that has been delivered from it. (Matthew 12:43-45)
  • It is not enough for a demon to be cast out of a fellow; the real deliverance is when he or she is filled with the Holy Spirit such that the demon cannot return to repossess the fellow.

  • “Beloved, true deliverance is when your heart is filled with the Holy Spirit because you pray and feed on the word of God daily, fast regularly, and live a holy life.”

    MEMORISE: Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.Luke 8:39

    2 Keypoints From: Sources Of Prophecy (3)

  • No matter how foolish some utterances may sound, when God is the source, they will not fall to the ground.
  • To hear from God, however, you must relate intimately with the Holy Spirit so you can distinguish between His voice, the voice of the devil, and the voice of your human spirit.

  • PRAYER POINT: Dear Lord, please help me to relate more intimately with You so that I can hear Your voice clearly.”

    MEMORISE: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.Isaiah 55:11

    3 Keypoints From: Sources Of Prophecy (2)

  • The prophecies that come from the devil are lies with some elements of truth in them to confuse and derail the recipients.
  • The devil might even misinterpret a portion of the Scriptures to support his lies so that a believer will think that the prophecy is from God.
  • When a prophecy comes from the devil, it is only a matter of time before it produces the fruits of the devil. (John 10:10)

  • “You must be careful about the people you give permission to speak into your life. If someone speaks something that is contrary to God’s will into your life, plead the blood of Jesus and cancel it immediately.”

    MEMORISE: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.Matthew 7:15

    3 Keypoints From: Sources Of Prophecy (1)

  • Prophecies come from three major sources: the devil, the human spirit, and the Holy Spirit.
  • When you are expecting to hear from God, and your mind is fixed on a particular result that you want, you will likely hear a confirmation of that result from your human spirit and assume that God has spoken.
  • If you do not let go of your emotions and allow God to sincerely search your heart, you will hear the idols of your heart giving you the go-ahead when you approach God for His counsel in prayer.

  • “Train your human spirit to totally submit to God so that whenever you need to hear Him, your emotions won’t interfere with His counsel.”

    MEMORISE: Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;Ezekiel 14:4

    3 Keypoints From: Praise And Worship

  • When believers know that they can do nothing without God (John 15:5), they will not miss praise and worship sessions for anything.
  • Make it a duty to never miss any opportunity to worship God by dancing and singing praises to His name, especially during church services. If you sing and dance for Him regularly, He will set you apart for greatness.
  • If you feel you are too big to dance before Him or worship and give Him thanks, He will also see you as being too big to be carried to the top.

  • “Some Christians get to church services late because they only start getting dressed to go to church when the praise and worship session must have started. They believe that the sermon is the main service; however, The praise and worship session is a major part of any church service.

    MEMORISE: But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.Psalm 5:7

    3 Keypoints From: You Can’t Change Anyone

  • No matter how eloquent you are, you cannot save a soul. It is the Holy Spirit who convicts sinners to repent of their sins and become members of the body of Christ.
  • You need the Holy Spirit when you go out to evangelise; He alone can soften hearts, and destroy the lies of the devil in the minds of men. Without Him, your preaching will be mere words.
  • You cannot go into a strong man’s house without first binding him (Mark 3:27). To bind the devil and stop his activities in the lives of men, you need the power of the Holy Spirit.

  • “Before you preach to people, ask the Holy Spirit to work on their hearts. He is your Helper, and He is in you to help you become an effective soul winner.”

    MEMORISE: And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:John 16:8

    3 Keypoints From: Let Your Light Shine

  • When people claim to be good at something, they need to prove it by doing that thing remarkably well. When they do this, people will pay attention to them.
  • Complaining that people do not notice your talents will achieve no result. Instead, prove your abilities by doing whatever you can from wherever you are, no matter how small it may seem. (Isaiah 60:1-3)
  • Be like Jesus, who was so busy doing good that everywhere He went, people took note of Him and followed Him. Then, you will become like a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden and a candle on a candlestick that gives light to everyone in a house (Matthew 5:14-15).

  • People might not like a light bulb’s design, but nobody can ignore its importance. If you want to be so relevant that people cannot do without your unique contributions, let your light shine by focusing on doing the work that God has committed into your hands.”

    MEMORISE: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.Matthew 5:16

    3 Keypoints From: Let Them Fly

  • Many pastors do almost everything in their churches because they feel they are the only ones who can handle them; such pastors only end up stressing themselves unnecessarily.
  • While it is true that when everyone in a congregation carries a measure of God’s power, they may become restless and grow tired of just hearing the pastor preach, a wise pastor won’t hold them back.
  • Instead, the pastor should train them and put them in new territories so they can impact others with the anointing they’ve been empowered with. Yes, they might make some mistakes, but with the pastor’s guidance and God’s help, they will succeed.

  • “True leaders seek the empowerment of the people who serve under them so they can fly”

    MEMORISE: And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:Joel 2:28

    3 Keypoints From: Marry Right

  • It is important for Christians to know that once they are married, there is no going back. Marrying the wrong spouse can be hell on earth.
  • Some people have rushed into marriage only for them to find out that their partner is self-centered and foolish. Some have chosen spouses by their physical attributes alone and ended up with a physically okay but spiritually deficient partner for their journey.
  • lf a believer is in a low place spiritually, where the fellow has compromised his or her values and disobeyed God’s principles, such a believer is not in a good place to make marital choices because he or she might make the wrong choice.

  • “Hearing from God is critical when it comes to choosing the right person to marry. You must, however, be living in obedience to His words and principles for Him to lead you to make the right choice.

    MEMORISE: I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.Psalm 32:8

    3 Keypoints From: Using The Power Of God

  • Ministers of God should simply cast demons out of people to set them free; they shouldn’t embarrass the people they are trying to deliver because they want to show that they are anointed.
  • The power of God isn’t a tool for punishment but for bringing joy to the hearts of people.
  • When God gives you a measure of His power, you are not to go around destroying people you consider to be enemies. Ephesians 6:12

  • “God’s will is for everyone to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4); He doesn’t want anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9). If He has given you a measure of His power, only use it to fulfil His will, not to destroy.”

    MEMORISE: Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.2 Corinthians 13:10
