TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL (Sunday 8TH August 2021)
“Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:2-3 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 220th DAY OF OUR YEAR OF HIGHER HEIGHTS!
The season three of our Special School of the Spirit, 7 Days 7 Mountains, ended yesterday, the 7th day. Today will be the grand final and we give God the glory for the marvelous light and truths that He poured upon our hearts.
Indeed, a wave is blowing from the Throne of to the End Time Church. And there is nothing the Devil can do about it.
I believe with the whole of my heart that it will not be long, we will begin the see the salvation of the LORD as He stretch forth His hands to recover His remnant people in many Charismatic robbery operation centers called Church. True preachers will emerge and fill the entire earth with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the water cover the sea in Jesus precious name!
We are in unique prophetic seasons were GOD is opening portals of truth to diffuse the errors that are coming out of the mouth of perverted preachers. These portals of truth are spiritual portals that open internally. They open to bring clear cut understanding of scriptures and accurate discernment.
For those who may not be aware of spiritual portals, we have been teaching about them since we came to East Africa.
Let me refresh our memories on what portals are!
A Spiritual Portal is an entry point between the visible and the invisible world. It is a gate of either hell or Heaven. When you read Jesus saying, “The gates of hell shall not prevail” He was referring to portals of hell. Meaning, there are portals of hell and there are portals of Heaven.
PORTALS OF HELL OPEN DOWNWARDS, BUT PORTALS OF HEAVEN OPEN UPWARDS.
Everyone who has ever died and gone to hell but granted mercy to return, has said his or her spirit descended downwards through a tunnel (or portal). And everyone who has ever died and gone to Heaven but sent back to earth to complete one assignment or the other has always said his or her spirit ascended into Heaven through a glorious portal.
In Genesis Chapter 28:11-22 you find Jacob stumbling into a Heavenly portal while alive. We can step into either portal of hell or Heaven while alive depending on who or what lives in you. For instance, it was a Heavenly portal that both Enoch and Elijah used in going to Heaven alive. And it was a portal of hell that opened over Sodom and Gomorrah, hence the perversion and subsequent destruction.
The portal that Jacob stumbled into when he was running away from his brother Esau was first discovered by his grandfather Abraham, in Genesis Chapter 12. The Bible says God used a dream language to reveal the presence of the portal in that place to him. And he woke up and said;
.. “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!” Genesis 28:16-17 NKJV
If portals of heaven do not open over destiny people, there is no way they will be able to fulfill their destiny.
Jacob’s encounter shows us that our lives must be consumed by Heavenly portals for portals of hell not to consume us. Yes, our hearts must be filled with truth from heavenly portals opened to release them to the earth. When that happens, the presence of GOD will become tangible. Like Jacob, you will wake up one morning to cry out, “so the LORD is in my bedroom and I know not.”
This is time to take responsibility of your spiritual life and come into the realms of these heavenly portals. Yes, you are going to take responsibility of your spiritual life and no longer blame people or things for anything that may be wrong with you.
False preachers always make us play the blame game until we become stupid enough to be robbed by them through their “GOD say” prophecies. Friend, we live in a “blame game” generation that is why the charlatans among us are having a field day!
TIME TO STOP THE BLAME GAME AND ACCEPT SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR LIVES.
For instance, a woman will get married to a good man but for lack of character and goodly conduct she will lose the man. Then when she goes to meet a prophet or prophetess for help, the so called man or woman of God will blame it on her father’s house, or some voices crying against her from the village or some gods or curses in her life.
The same can be seen in the lives of men who cannot keep their marriages.
We blame men, our parents, or evil spirits for what our Godless, carnal and wicked decisions brought upon us. And the matter becomes complicated if either of our parents suffered the same fate. We won’t see the lack of godly conduct or proper relationship with GOD and wickedness in the hearts of the family under attack. We will be pointing to other factors.
For instance, any husband or wife your carnal desires give you will eventually leave you. If he or she did not leave there will be unquenchable Crisis in the marriage. Absence of divine will and ways in the lives of men is the only reason for unquenchable fires in the lives of men.
It is not the presence of curses, evil foundations or whatever that is destroying men’s life but the absence of operational will and ways of GOD. Like I said, if you are not schooled in the things of men, you will be skewed by con men and women in God’s garment using the things of devils.
If you synchronize your life will divine will and ways, you will force the demonic out of your life. And even if what they call an evil foundation is responsible for a case, once you do things in the will and ways of God, you switch foundations in the spirit realm.
THE FOUNDATION OF THE LORD WILL BECOME YOUR FOUNDATION.
And if you become established on the foundation of the LORD, it will result in total and complete freedom. I was freed from all forms of household wickedness and what some call “evil altars or foundations” not by breaking the altars or curses, praying against them or sowing seed to destroy them, but by having my life rooted in the foundation of the LORD.
The foundation of the LORD is like a stone that crushes every other foundation. It is more powerful than any prophet or deliverance prayer. It is the missing “deliverance agent” in the lives of everyone under spiritual attack.
The Bible says;
“And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” Matthew 21:44 NKJV
Whoever is whoever; it covers people and the spirits behind them. It covers the gods of your house and all forms of household enemies. It covers ancestral curses and the voices they claim cry against people from their villages. It covers what they call evil foundation. Jesus said “whoever.” That means it will be stupid on our part to believe a preacher over Jesus Christ, or what has already been said in the word.
This stone that breaks every other foundation or kingdom is the foundation to have in your life, as a Christian, to be free from all things that make people take prophets, intercessors and prophetesses to their villages to do the unthinkable.
What am I trying to say this morning?
I know there are devils and curses. The Bible said so. But looking externally for what is caused by an internal filth has not helped anybody apart from the prophets, intercessors, prophetesses and pastors who make money out of it.
That is why many who joined their ministries full are leaving empty. Those who went empty of troubles are leaving full of wars and crisis. And they make matters worse by threatening others not to leave else they curse them.
FRIEND, YOU WILL INCREASE YOUR PREDICAMENT LOOKING EXTERNALLY IF WHAT IS KILLING YOU IS INTERNAL.
You will be going from church to church looking for the acts of GOD without finding a solution to your problems. A generation that pursues the acts of God at the expense of the Scriptural revelation of His ways, stands the risk of losing so much to falsehood and deception!
As we bring this devotional to a close, I want you to understand that there are two Churches in the “one Church” that make up the body of Christ on the face of the earth today. It’s like the two Children in the womb of Rebecca. We have the “harlot Church” of the book of Isaiah 4:1 and the “true Church” of the book of Ephesians 5.
The harlot Church seeks for the “manifestation” of the acts of God alone but the true Church seeks for the “revelation” of His ways. And do not forget, you can never walk in His ways without seeing His acts in your life!
Those who will always be assembling for His acts will always be conned by con men and women in God’s garment, but those who will always be assembling for His ways will be seeing His glory each time they appear in Zion.
Our devotional text this morning speaks of the rise of a unique breed that will rise out of the true Church in the end time. This bread will be more interested in learning the ways and paths of the LORD than pursuing His acts. A major highlight says;
“Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
It’s my prayer this morning that you spend the rest of your Christians life joining the breed that will say “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths” in Jesus precious name!
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR TODAY;
“I will hear what God the Lord will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yes, the Lord will give what is good; and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway.” Psalms 85:8-13 NKJV
