GIFT WITHOUT PURPOSE BY ESI YANKAH

I have been born into a generation where many people with the call of God upon their life desire to have a prophetic gift. Though there is a five fold ministry -(1) apostles, some to be (2) prophets, some to be (3) evangelists, and some to be (4) pastors and (5) teachers....they want to see something before they believe they are called by God.

I am one person who because i was born into a Methodist home, schooled partly in America, a typical critical thinker never believed in prophecy or let me say was not exposed to it though my curiosity and desire to know spiritual things has always been there. I can ask so many questions that if you know you are not truly called you will get frustrated with me. I have met people with great gifts and happy to be counseled under the ministry of a great one in my generation.

I can't understand why most people now are dying to have prophetic gifts though the other ministries are equally important. It is biblical so i can understand that. I truly believe that unless you have a purpose, established yourself in something or ready to fulfill one don't desire the gift. A gift without a purpose is useless. Know what you are good at and why God has called you to do on this earth. If the reason you want a gift is to show off, compete or demonstrate pride you are better off doing something else with your life. Doing Gods work especially with a prophetic gift through my observation requires a person to genuinely care about people, be humble, have patience to help them find solutions to their problems, have the ability to hear God on every matter and not exploit people. Ive heard of barbers, hair dressers, doctors, mechanics, traders who have serious prophetic gifts and are using it very well in their work to impact lives and win people for God. It shouldn't always be one way preaching at the pulpit and wanting to be known and seen on flyers. Evangelism and missionary work are also great ways of reaching out.

God will not give you a gift without telling you what to do with it but more importantly you having an idea of the kind of impact you want to make with it, whether big or small, impact is impact. Finding purpose is necessary in every field or choice of work but i believe its even more important in the work of God. Once you are established in your purpose you wouldn't need to rally around trying to impress people, looking for fame and fortune because you have the ability to see more than they can. May God establish you in your purpose and may you find joy and fulfillment doing what He has called u to do.

If you have been running around looking for impartation of a gift or praying for hours and months looking for it be ready to carry the burden and establish yourself in a purpose so that you can put the gift to good use. Be ready to serve people and not people serving you.

DOUBLE DATING = DOUBLE TRAGEDY:

A word of advice to you......

Double dating or having multiple relationships simultaneously is not a sign that you are handsome, beautiful, gifted or great; it’s a sign of irresponsibility.

A responsible person is faithful to someone he/she loves for the rest of his/her life! Don't be carried away by that sugar coated mouth! It is not all that glitter that's gold!

Has God given you someone? Is he/she a child of God? Does he/she fear God? Start building your relationship! Life is not a rush, one step at a time

Anyone who is madly in love with two people at the same time is never in love! He/she just is in infatuation! In fact he/she needs deliverance! The test of true love is "FOCUS". Yes I said FOCUS

True Love is focused on only one person. An infatuated individual may be "in love" with two or more persons simultaneously!¬ Something I term stupidity in the highest order!

If you don't know the difference between LOVE & INFATUATION, you will destroy others' lives and your own! That's why psychiatric hospitals are full with people whose hearts are broken! Some have committed suicide, some never believe in love again and some have made up their mind never to trust anyone again or get married! This is serious! Stop toying with people' emotion!

Don't double date no matter the pressure! That's, don't be involved in two relationships at the same time. Many singles have missed their miracles because of this act of unfaithfulness! Double dating lowers your integrity and lays a wrong foundation for your marriage. Avoid it!

Stay blessed!
 

FOCUS ON THE TASK AND NOT THE TITLE

I was in a meeting when people were being introduced and they called a pastor without his title, to my amazement he got up furious and demanded they address him by his title or else he leaves the place. Hmmm.

I read my bible and there was no where Jesus was called Prophet Jesus, Apostle Jesus or Rev. dr. Jesus. We are told at the mention of the name JESUS (alone) every knee will bow. His name carries power even without a title.

Jesus was addressed to as a prophet and an apostle by reason of the work he did. It wasn't His title and He never wanted titles but to do the will of the Father. Titles doesn't make you a superman or anointed, it only brings pride. 

Simplicity and humbleness brings more anointing than anything close to a title. Let us focus on doing the task and will of our Father in heaven than fighting for titles and positions.

Christians are their own Enemies!

There is something that baffles my mind that with all the good Jesus was doing, like healing the sick, casting out devils, preaching to the poor, raising the dead and many other things that he did, the Pharisees, Sadducees, teachers of the law and the scribes still fought against him and wanted his downfall.

 How strange that all of them were church people. So is it true that Christians are the ones fighting against their own fellow Christians.

 No wonder the world doesn't want anything to do with church people because we are setting the wrong examples for them. So is the devil using christians to do his job for him? The question is that what will you benefit from fighting and destroying your fellow christian? 

It is amazing how some pastors go behind people speaking evil and causing confusion among the body of Christ.

RITUAL OF ANOINTED CHRISTIANS- Thomas Yeboah

Activities in the morning are extremely important in our everyday life. Do you have a morning ritual? These are activities that one does habitually every morning. It is undoubtedly true that all of us have some form of morning ritual. It could be preparing cup of coffee, tea and a bagel for breakfast every day. Others also wake up early morning in order to exercise their body to maintain their health while others do one thing or the other. 

It is even true as many will agree with me that some people talk at themselves in the mirror and declare positive reinforcement statements out loud as their morning ritual. But for us (BODY OF CHRIST), our morning ritual must be spending time with God through reading His Word and through praying. It is a habit a believer of Christ must have.

It is a habit encouraged by heaven. The bible is explicit in Joshua 1:8 , “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

Evidently, God wants you to be blessed from today onwards in everything that we do. And we will be able to achieve that if we decide to read God’s word, meditate and experience personal revelation that comes with it. Some scholars argue that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Therefore, why don’t you start from today a God-sized breakfast: A big bowl of Bible verses and a glass of fresh revelation that always come with it. Shalom
