When you are not born again, you are not part of the care system of the Kingdom of God.
John 3:3 King James Version – 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Until you get into the right church, something will not be right in your life.
Psalm 68:6 King James Version – 6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
The anointing of God operates positionally. It falls positionally.
Luke 24:48-50 AMPC – 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I will send forth upon you what My Father has promised; but remain in the city [Jerusalem] until you are clothed with power from on high. 50 Then He conducted them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up His hands, He invoked a blessing on them.
There is a divine positioning system in the Kingdom of God to guide His people.
You must always seek to find your position in God, and when you stay in position, the anointing finds you.
When you are in the right position with God, everything works for you. You are part of the global universal positioning system of God. Wherever you are, if you are where God expects you to be, the help of God can get to you.
When you are in a divine position, you don’t keep an evil appointment.
When you are out of position, you are out of provision, assistance, and help. No matter who you know, your intellectual prowess or muscular strength, no matter how physically weaponised or fortified, when you are out of position, the devil can always find you.
Be in position assignment-wise.
When you are given a divine assignment, and you are doing it properly, you are locatable. You are in the right position.
A divine assignment is not God troubling you. It is God giving you a way out of your trouble.
Don’t be a Christian without assignment. The higher anointing always follows the assignments of God.
People die faster when they stay out of the anointing.
Allow the Holy Spirit to position you so that something greater can come into and out of your life.
Offences are a major device of the devil to get you out of position.
The instructions of God are to command you into position.
Isaiah 1:19-20 AMPC – 19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; 20 But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
Some too many people are obedient but not willing. For you to be in a position to receive this enjoyment of eating the good of the land. You must not only be obedient, but you must also be willing.
Some have become hardened, disobedient Christians. Nothing short of an early homegoing would correct them.
Christianity is about correct positioning.
Our rest is not resting from God. It is resting in God.
Numbers 25:7-13 AMPC – 7 And when Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand. 8 And went after the man of Israel into the inner room and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her body. Then the [smiting] plague was stayed from the Israelites. 9 Nevertheless those who died in the [smiting] plague were 24,000. 10 And the Lord said to Moses, 11 Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the Israelites, in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the Israelites in My jealousy. 12 Therefore say, Behold, I give to Phinehas the priest My covenant of peace. 13 And he shall have it, and his descendants after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.
What degree of jealousy do you have for the glory of God in your heart?! This is a measure of the love, respect and honour you have for God. And it attracts a corresponding response from Heaven towards you. It will affect the passion and zeal you bring to the things of God.
Protect your jealousy for the glory of God and ensure that nothing reduces it in your life. It is one thing that the devil attacks in a Christian’s life.
That Jealousy will move you to do some things that others may not understand, but wisdom is eventually seen, if not in the immediate.
Wisdom is the ability to read life through the eyes of God. You see where God is going and position yourself and take proper decisions that align you with divine operations and events.
Smartness always reduces the future, but wisdom increases the future.
Christians are not meant to be people of just ideas but, more importantly, people of direction. We are a directed people.
Jealousy for the glory of God is always a function of wisdom. And for people who were jealous for the glory of God in the Bible, God did glorious things in their lives.
1 Samuel 17:26 KJV – 26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
If something that concerns God does not concern you, it is a reflection of the measure of the jealousy you have for the glory of God.
That Jealousy for the Glory of God will always position you for the focus and blessing of God.
Not every activity is anointed for everyone. But some things are anointed for you.
Always let the right force move you because it will move you into the right position, but if you permit the wrong force (pride, stubbornness, offences, disrespectfulness, dishonour…), it will move you out of place and into disgrace.
All it takes for the devil to get a person is to get them out of position for five minutes.
The devil needs you to be out of position to have an advantage over you.
When you are in a position, there are too many things working for you than for something that is against you to overcome your life.
There are too many things working for you when you are in position, but when you are out of position, the smallest things can take you out.
The Bible says those that be with us are more than those that be with them.
You never go wrong when you let respect go ahead of you.
2 Corinthians 5:16 AMP – So from now on, we regard no one from a human point of view [according to worldly standards and values]. Though we have known Christ from a human point of view, now we no longer know Him in this way.
Hebrews 13:17 Amplified Bible – 17 Obey your [spiritual] leaders and submit to them [recognizing their authority over you], for they are keeping watch over your souls and continually guarding your spiritual welfare as those who will give an account [of their stewardship of you]. Let them do this with joy and not with grief and groans, for this would be of no benefit to you.
When things are wrong, be concerned about how they can be righted or fixed. Always think about how you can make it better.
Zephaniah 3:18 KJV – “I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.”
What is doing for yourself that you prioritise because it is for you? But you would not give the same priority when it comes to the things of God.
Galatians 6:7 – “Be not deceived; God has not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
When you go somewhere, and they are talking about your God, your Church, your man of God, what moves in your heart?!
God puts you in a place to right wrongs – God gives you advanced information for you to do what He has called you to do and positioned for.
Romans 12:5-11 KJV – 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.
Timing is a critical component for things to come out beautiful.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 King James Version – 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Lack of an awareness of time can make you do things that will endanger your future.
Ecclesiastes 3 New Living Translation – 1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. 5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. 6 A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. 8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.
Trial and error is not part of the Christian heritage.
In the world, they are wiser after the event. In the kingdom, we are wiser before the event.
Get these 3 Right by the Holy Spirit, and it shall be well with you.
1. Get into the right position in the things of God
2. Have right Heart Heart-ti-tude before God and have a Jealousy for His Glory
3. Be aware of time – operate within the timing of God, not your own timing.
