REFLECT JESUS BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

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

Read:

1 Thessalonians 5:4-9

(1 Thessalonians 5:4) But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

(1 Thessalonians 5:5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

(1 Thessalonians 5:6) Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

(1 Thessalonians 5:7) For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

(1 Thessalonians 5:8) But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

(1 Thessalonians 5:9) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

God is calling every believer to arise and shine. You can shine like the sun by burning a bit of yourself bit by bit through giving. You can also shine like the moon. How? The moon receives light from the sun and reflects it to the world. Shortly before His ascension, the Lord gave an instruction to His disciples in Mark 16:15-18. He was simply asking them to go in His name, take the light from Him and reflect it to the world. You need to reflect His light because of the gross darkness that will cover the earth.

One characteristic of light is that it attracts all kinds of things, both good and bad. If you turn on a light bulb in the midst of the night, it will attract all kinds of insects. Just as light attracts good things, so does it also attracts bad, ugly and evil things. In effect, the moment you begin to shine, be on your guard. The moment your church begins to grow or to achieve for God, get ready for those who will want to pull it down.

Someone once said there are witches in the Redeemed Christian Church of God and I told him there are many of them. Some of them may even be among workers, choir, wives of ministers and pastors. I also added that the church is God’s hospital and in every good hospital, you will have the worst or most challenging cases. However, light also attracts kings, princes and nobles and you need these in your church. Do you know that we are yet to have the best singers, instrumentalists, prayer champions, ushers and ministers?

Do you know that those who may be used of God to take your church to the next level are yet in the world as unconverted souls? If your light does not attract them, what a disservice that would be to the body of Christ! Some sisters are praying for husbands meanwhile God’s right choice for them may still be ‘enjoying’ the world. It is when we reach out to these that such prayers may be answered. In the same vein, some helpers that God will use in taking you to your next level might still be unsaved. The more souls are saved, the greater our chances of accessing such potential brethren.

Sow Towards Your Next Level – RCCG Open Heavens Devotional Tuesday 6th August 2013

Sow Towards Your Next Level – RCCG Open Heavens Devotional Tuesday 6th August 2013

SOW TOWARDS YOUR NEXT LEVEL BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Memorise:

Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass. Isaiah 32:20

Read:

Isaiah 32:15-20
(Isa 32:15) Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

(Isa 32:16) Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

(Isa 32:17) And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

(Isa 32:18) And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

(Isa 32:19) When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

(Isa 32:20) Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.

Everyone has a next level. As successful as you may consider yourself to be, there is a level you have not attained, a height you have not climbed, a feat that has not been achieved. No matter how anointed you are, there is a level of anointing you have not reached. The earlier you realise and accept, the better for you. Many people like Moses saw their next level but could not enter in. may you never be a victim of seeing but not possessing your blessing in Jesus name.

To enter your next level, you must be prepared to sacrifice your Isaac. The next level comes by sacrifice. How much are you willing to give to enter into your next level? Similarly, you can enter into your next level by sowing. In Genesis 26:2-14, we see how Isaac entered into his next level through sowing the seed he had at a period of famine. There are seeds and there are fruits. Seeds are meant to be sown while fruits are meant to be eaten. Seeds are for the future while fruits are for today. If you are wise like Isaac, you will never convert the seed that should give you a tomorrow into a fruit that should sustain you for the moment. Isaac virtually starved when he sowed what others should have eaten. He suffered a while but when the yield came, he became greater than the nation which ate their seeds.

Those who sow their seeds will always be greater than those who eat their seeds. In The Redeemed Christian Church of God, there is a track record of meaningful sowing. It is the sowing of the past that has brought us to present location. In Port Harcourt, a woman sowed three of her houses and landed property. Sometimes, some people would empty their pockets for the work of the Lord. I have had to sow my car too. What are you willing to give to move to your next level? If what you are prepared to sow is far from what God expects you to sow, your seed will be unable to deliver your next level.

Psalm 100-102

Key Point
No matter how high you have gone, there is still a height you have not reached.
