God’s Sure Promise
•That a little one become a thousand and a small one a strong nation Isaiah 60:22
•Having been saved, God desires to send us forth as saviors in our generation Obadiah 1:21
•To deliever us from sin, sinful habit and satan; and make us delieverers Luke 1:71-75; 2 Cor. 5:15
•To make us vessels whom God will use in preparing the Church to heald His second coming Luke 1: 76-79
•To make us Disciples who Arise!, take responsibility and like men of Isaachar- know what to do to bring back their King. Isaiah 60:1-2
How Shall This Be?
Zechariah 4:6 “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’Says the LORD of hosts.
Take Heed
•Are you the reason why the anger of the LORDis burning and/or stayed against the children of Israel?
Vs. 1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, …so the anger of the LORD burned against the children of Israel.
•Did you break the hedge and permit the serpent come in?
Vs. 5 And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
•Have you both stolen and deceived and mingled the accursed thing with the holy?
Vs. 11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff. Vs.20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, “Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I have done: Vs.21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.”
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, Vs.20 Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies),Vs.21Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Colossians 3:5-9 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Vs.6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, Vs.7 in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.Vs.8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Vs.9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,
•Is your disobedence to God’s word giving the enemy permission to discomfit Israelites?
Vs.12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction.Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.
Vs.25 And Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us?"
•Will your love for this world and the things of this world make you lose your: heavenly estate? become casualties? Deny the Lord victory?
Vs. 4 So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.Vs.13 …“There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.” Vs.24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the Valley of Achor. Vs.25 And Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you this day.” So all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.
Examples of relics of the flesh
Discontentment Unforgiveness Malice Lying Anger
Covetousness Unsubmissive Greed Jealousy Envy
Bitterness Pride Strife Selfishness etc
Israel= family unit; Mystery community; Local assemblies; Body of Christ (The Church)
Achan= any member in particular of the above
What if the Achan(s) are Fathers, Mothers, Children, General overseers and those in positions of leadership? What happens to the body of Christ?
Vs.12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction.Vs.13 Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the LORD God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.”
How long will the body be doomed to destruction? Turn their backs before their enemies?
A solemn call to look inward and repent.
Mercy, Lord!!!!

1 Corinthians 3: 16 –
23 (KJV)
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple
of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of
God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 18 Let
no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world,
let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is
foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own
craftiness. 20 And
again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21 Therefore
let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or
Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come;
all are yours; 23 And
ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
1 Corinthians 3: 16 –
23 (NIV)
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves
are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 If
anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is
sacred, and you together are that temple. 18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any
of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become
“fools” so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is
foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their
craftiness” 20 and
again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” 21 So
then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, 22 whether
Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the
future—all are yours, 23 and
you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

God's Primary Appeal - Crucified Lives
Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)
" I
have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives
in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Ephesians 3:16-20 (AMPC)
“May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His
glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by
the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent
home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on
love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with
all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the
breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; That you may really come] to know [practically, [a]through experience
for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses [b]mere knowledge
[without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] [c]unto
all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence,
and [d]become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is
at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly,
far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our
highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—”
Galatians 5:24 (KJV)
“And
they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
- We’ve been called into the ‘Divine race’ of humans on earth because of what Christ did on the cross.
- Those who have not crucified the passions and desires of the flesh do not belong to Christ and are therefore not of the ‘Divine race’ of humans.
- These ones will always contaminate any revival or move of the Spirit of God
Prayer:
- Lord, I thank You again for the deliberate and intensive preparation of life You are taking me through in these crucial days. Thank You for not sparing me. Thank You, Lord.
- Lord, let me have ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying expressly and intentionally to the church these days. Don’t let me remain unaware of the alarm You are raising to us now. Help me to take Your primary appeal very seriously for my life. Holy Spirit, help me.
- Father, pass me through Calvary, the place of death again and again. Let the confession of Paul in Galatians 2:20 be my actual experience every day.
- Lord, help me so that my life does not contradict the truth of Galatians 5:24. Let me be Yours, Lord completely. Give me grace to mortify my members and crucify the passions and desires of the flesh.
- Don’t let my life be a contaminant in the coming move of Your Spirit. Lord, help me. Don’t let the move of Your Spirit be quenched or scuttled because of Mr Flesh uncrucified in my life.
Galatians 3:1 (MSG)
“You crazy
Galatians! Did someone put a hex on you? Have you taken leave of your senses?
Something crazy has happened, for it’s obvious that you no longer have the
crucified Jesus in clear focus in your lives. His sacrifice on the cross was
certainly set before you clearly enough.”
Galatians 3:1 (PHILLIPS)
“O you
dear idiots of Galatia, who saw Jesus Christ the crucified so plainly,”
Galatians 3:1 (AMPC)
“O
you poor and silly and thoughtless and unreflecting and senseless Galatians!
Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, unto whom—right
before your very eyes—Jesus Christ (the Messiah) was openly and graphically set
forth and portrayed as crucified?”
Galatians 3:1 (LIVING BIBLE)
“Oh,
foolish Galatians! What magician has hypnotized you and cast an evil spell upon
you? For you used to see the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death as clearly as
though I had waved a placard before you with a picture on it of Christ dying on
the cross.”
Prayer:
- Lord, let the death of Christ on the cross be so powerfully evidenced in my life. Don’t let my life deny the work of Calvary but let it be a vivid picture of You, Lord. Let my life bear witness to the death and resurrection of Christ
- Lord, help me to keep the crucified Christ in my focus every day. Don’t let me lose sight of Christ and Him crucified. Help me to consciously carry my own cross daily wiling to bear its shame and reproach with Christ.
- Lord, don’t let the meaning, the mystery and the ministry of the Cross of Christ become just something I used to see. Let its meaning, mystery and ministry be A current occurrence in my live every day.
- The uncrucified Christian is an impossibility for God. God can’t do anything with him- he is a roadblock for God!! LORD, HAVE MERCY ON ME TODAY, I PRAY! HELP ME SO THAT I AM NOT A ROAD BLOCK FOR YOU. DON’T LET MY LIFE BE AN IMPOSSIBILITY FOR YOU, LET THE CROSS OF CALVARY PREVAIL OVER ME TODAY!
- Pray Ephesians 3:16-20 “ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us”,
On A Hill Far
Away
1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged
cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and
best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
2. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the
world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
3. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so
divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and
died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be
true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far
away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

Zechariah
4:11-14 (KJV)
11 Then answered
I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the
candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12 And I
answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which
through the
two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 13 And he
answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No,
my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
In
embracing the justification of my labour, I must:
1. Place a great value on divine insights – To be inquisitive about
every Word of God and divine instructions through other means. Like Zechariah,
I must desire to know more than the obvious – to know the new thing that is attached to my
walk with God (2nd Corinthians 5:17)
PRAYER:
·
Lord please help me to lay hold on the
power behind any insight You release unto me.
·
Grant me a humble desire to know more of
You, and help me to place a great value on my knowledge of You.
·
Teach me never to consider or put my
knowledge first before any response from above.
·
Help me to be inquisitive beyond the
obvious in my walk with You: create the hunger for more of You in me as I
labour in Your Kingdom
2.Take pleasure in acquainting myself with the Divine – Labouring for God in His
Kingdom is not burdensome, and must not be seen as a burden no matter how
challenging. I must be determined to be importunate on any instruction on my
labour until it speaks. (Habakkuk 2:3a)
PRAYER:
· Lord help me to take pleasure in acquainting myself
with the dictates of Heaven through all means. (The Holy Spirit, Scriptures,
through Discipleship
etc.)
·
Lord please reap the harvest of the
intention of Heaven in my life and labour
·
Empty me of myself in all matters of my labour in
Your Kingdom: make me qualified by YOUR PERSON at all times.
· Lord please maintain Your Work in my
hands and advance it by The Power of The Holy Spirit.
3.
Desire
an evident fruitfulness – There must be a strong desire in me to make the ordinances of
God fruitful in my life and over my labour. There must be evident profit of my
labour unto God. (1st Tim 4:15).
PRAYER:
· Lord please grant me the grace to be
patient to see the fruitfulness of Your Word in my life and labour at any given stage. There
must be evident profit of my labour unto God. (1st Tim 4:15).
·
Collide with my walk with You afresh,
indwell in me afresh for Your Work/Labour in my hands.
·
Merge my stand before You with my
labour, let both become one to glorify You.
·
Lord please keep the lamp of my life and
labour burning before You at all times through The Oil of Your Grace.
4.
Be
well positioned for my constant supply from Heaven – I must walk with God in
such a way that will not hinder the flow of His Presence into my work in His
Kingdom: to always be well positioned for the multiplication that THE PERSON OF
CHRIST will make happen in every aspect of my labour unto God – THE FATHER.
(Zechariah 3:7)
PRAYER:
· Lord please help me not to stop the
constant flow of Your Oil that is lubricating my life and labour. Let me
constantly know that it is only by Your fullness that I can achieve for
You.
· Let me not mess up or be careless with
the unction of The Holy Spirit upon my life and my labour.
· Position me for Heaven's concentration
on my labour: let me not deny the power of my justification.
·
Lord
please
help me to embrace The Truth about my labour and my life operating from a
JUSTIFIED POSITION IN CHRIST JESUS.

Labouring with the Oil of Grace
Join This HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am -1:30pm (UK time)
Zechariah 4:7-10 (KJV)
“Who art thou, O great mountain? before
Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone
thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid
the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt
know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. For who hath despised the day of small
things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel
with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro
through the whole earth.”
The Effects of The Oil of Grace in
Kingdom Labour:
1. Difficulty paves way for labour – as long as one
remains firmly rooted in Christ, no opposition against any service ordered
by God unto Himself and for His glory will stand...(Isaiah 40:4 - 5)
2. Regular connection to The
Throne of Grace – the Grace of The Spirit of God is poured
out without measure and received at the Throne of Grace...(Hebrews 4:16)
Prayer:
- Lord please affect my heart and the whole of my body in such a way that it will achieve greatly for You.
- Lord help me to walk daily in Faith that moves mountain, together with the Grace that levels mountain.
- Make me a captive at the Throne of Grace, where I will constantly labour without struggle or without human effort.
- Lord let me not frustrate Your Grace in every area of my life: keep me near Your Throne of Grace where I will always find mercy.
3. Divine multiplication of every little effort
or move – God chooses weak things to bring about
great things by way of Grace. As a great mountain can become plain, so can a
little stone out of a mountain makes a difference when God is in it...(Isaiah 60:22)
4. Divine focus on every aspect of one's
labour in God's Kingdom – much will be achieved with little when
the watchful Eyes of God are upon the labour...(2nd Chronicles 16:9): to inspire the work, to
direct it according to the counsel of heaven, to see to its precision and to submit it to the
proposals from above.
Prayer:
- Lord please help me not to leave out the place of Your Grace in my labour: maintain and sustain Your labour in my hands.
- Grant me the divine revelation of the difference that Your Greatness makes in my little.
- Lord please unite my heart and my hand in my walk with You: make both one in my labour for Your Kingdom.
- Inspire Your work in my hands: and cause it to meet the standard of the counsels of heaven.

Zechariah 4:1-6 (KJV)
”And the angel that talked with me came again, and
waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and
behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven
lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: And two olive trees by
it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side
thereof.
So I
answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying,
What are these, my lord? Then the angel that talked with me answered
and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No,
my lord.
Then he answered and spake
unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,
saith
the Lord of hosts.”
The fresh outpouring of The Spirit of
God is readily made available to everyone to work for God without bringing any
form of displeasure to Him. It is The Holy Spirit that qualifies all to walk
with God, and work for Him as true Kingdom Labourers.
1st Corinthians 12:7 (KJV)
“But the manifestation of The
Spirit is given to every man to profit withal”
There are some spiritual necessities for
my labour in the Kingdom of God:
1. My body MUST keep pace with The Spirit in matters of The Divine.
It is very important not to be carried
away, but to take notice of all the instructions of God by all means (to be
alert and willing to take instructions from Him daily – Isaiah 50:4
***To be fit for The Holy Spirit, I must be unfit for the
flesh***
PRAYER:
- Lord please make me unfit for the flesh in every area
- Stir me up, and awaken me by Your Spirit until I measure up with the divine intention for my labour
- Let my body and my spirit agree with the purpose of Heaven for my life and labour
2. I MUST run with GOD's sole ability to achieve His purpose
without the help of man.
Nothing can be / will be left undone as
far as God is concerned. His proven ability for HIS WORK is evident in creation
and nothing
is impossible with God. Genesis 1 and Luke 1:37
PRAYER:
- Lord please have mercy on me in whatever way that I have neglected Your Work
- Help me to labour actively in the same way You come to me, however demanding!
- Open my eyes afresh to my sufficiency in You for the labour You have committed into my hands
3. I MUST know the MIND OF GOD for His Labour.
To know the exact thing He wants done, respond to His Word concerning
what to be done, and run with what needs to be done.
*Jesus stayed in the temple for three
days making enquiries from both God and men. – Luke 2:46-49*
PRAYER:
- Lord in my walk with You, please unite my mind with Yours: help me not to run my labour race in assumption.
- Hasten my response to Your mind concerning Your Work, and help me to run with it without delay.
- Lord please increase my pace as I run with Your vision for my labour: Breathe on my pace in Your Kingdom Labour.
4. I MUST labour in and from my
Glorified Position (divine position to experience mysterious
multiplication in my service unto God).
By way of various divine encounters, God
wants to reposition
me and my labour for HIM.
Through the Power of the Holy Spirit –
my labour in God's Kingdom is taken care of by the great influence of The
Oil of Grace. - Ephesians 2:8-9.
PRAYER:
- Lord help me to know and accept the significance of Divine Order in my labour.
- Make me worthy of the key to multiplication (The Oil of Grace) You are pouring afresh on me: Lord please humble me for the great influence of the Oil of Grace on my labour.
- Let me be satisfied with Divine Guidance, and accept The Grace that accompanies it.
- Open my life and labour to all the illustrations You have put in place through Your Word and the human hands around me.
- HELP ME BEGIN TO SEE YOUR HANDWRITING ON EVERYTHING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
