Mat 25:21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
Each one of us have been entrusted with various kinds of talents and gifts. All these are to be used in building the Kingdom of heaven on earth.
We all know that we have a book written for us in heaven. In proportion to the plans and projects written in it, from the day we are born on this earth, blessings, that is heavenly resources are released for you on earth.
This can be compared to a secular Government Project , for eg. Constructing a bridge.
The draft model of the project will be prepared first. After getting the approval, as the work proceeds funds will be released in instalments . Audited account report will be submitted before releasing the next instalment.
In our lives the blessings we have received from God,
Our life, family, education, knowledge, profession, skills, the finance we earn, our contacts, our associations, etc etc.. are given to you only for one purpose.
To fulfil the exact plan of God which is written in my your Book in Heaven.
As you grow in age and in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, it is your duty to bring down those plans to the earth and executing. As you plunge into it , the heavenly blessings needed will be released on instalment basis. As we advance steadily and systematically in executing these plans on earth, more resources, kept for the consecutive instalments will be released.
Our accountability also will be checked. Submitting an audited report for the previous instalment, is required for releasing the next instalment. . i.e. Since we are “sent out” (Apostles) in the name of Jesus, we have to be transparent and accountable to God as well as fellow brethren whom we serve. We sometimes see in the life of believers, the blessings in finance, health, children, travels, contacts, progress in one or the other sometimes all, get blocked.
When such block comes, believers in ignorance run up and down to servants of God. What they have to do is, kneel down in the presence of God, do a scrutiny of the inner life, and ask God,
“Where have I gone wrong and committed mistakes”. Show me Lord, I am ready to correct. “
95% of the mistakes will be the following.
“…….so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground………..’ Mat 25:24,25
The lazy servant failed to take up responsibility/risk of investing multiplying the talent given to him. 99% of the Christians in the world today do nothing or little of making disciples, because satan has created fear in them. They believe in the deceptions of satan,
“Evangelizing is not for you, it is the duty of Pastors, Evangelists, Prophets, et. . They will see to it. “
The Army of Jesus soldiers have to take this as a challenge break this culture. That is why we are called “Army” and “Soldiers”. There is no separate class needed for this. Each believer is a prophet, shepherd, miracle worker, healer etc.
(Testimony of the new Troop Church “Lord is my Shepherd” started on 21.2.2021)
I learned one thing. The Lord is raising valiant warriors in India. They are not seen in public at all. They do not appear in any visible forum of the Church, even Troop Church. The Lord might bring them .unexpectedly to the stage one day like “Paul changed Saul”. Paul who was persecuting the Apostles, after knowing Christ, outdid Peter and other Apostles.
We are in a race. Those who join late will be extremists and they will overtake the slow goers,. There is no guarantee who will win or who will be first. One who runs faster win the race. Let’s keep up the spirit and be on fire! Go on accommodating new people who are energetic enthusiastic and spirit filled. When somebody grow cold, Jesus the Commander raises a substitute and replaces them. You should give way to the Holy Spirit to act. You should not be a respecter of persons. Let’s keep up with the pace of the Holy Spirit.
(Madurai experience)
While praying for the people who were coming one after the other getting appointments, the Lord asked me a question,
“Why are you dragging crowds to me? Ask them if they are ready to commit themselves in building my Kingdom/”
After 7.2.2021, I came to a decision. I am sharing this with you too.
While attending Troop Church, Gift School, BFF, and any other training, if they are not willing to take up commitment as SMP, SMLA, shadow Mandal, Block, Taluk, Panchayat, Ward Leaders, and bring Jesus’ Government in it, it is a waste. Tell them bluntly there is no guarantee of their sustaining heavenly gifts and blessings bestowed on them, if they don’t become Master Builders (1 Cor 3:10) of the Kingdom in their area. . Let the love of Christ push us forward.
