Every time we overcome an obstacle, a bad habit, an addiction, we please God. He is committed to be with you every time you pass through the waters and through fire…GOD WANTS YOU TO GROW UP

THEME: COMMANDING PROGRESS
/ADVANCEMENT
How you can set your life in motion and achieve your
dreams
Scripture tells us that progress is
God's will and plan for every
believing Christian, God desires
that you grow from one level of
glory to another.
And Samuel said unto the
people, [It is] the LORD that
advanced Moses and Aaron, and
that brought your fathers up out of
the land of Egypt. 1Samuel 12:6
Every time we achieve
something worthwhile in the
kingdom of God, we please God.
Every time we overcome an
obstacle, a bad habit, an
addiction, we please God. He is
committed to be with you every
time you pass through the waters
and through fire…Isaiah 43:
2When thou passest through the
waters, I [will be] with thee; and
through the rivers, they shall not
overflow thee: when thou walkest
through the fire, thou shalt not be
burned; neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee
That is why God is committed
to helping you and I grow and he
has made available resources
and provisions to help you
achieve any level you want to
achieve in the kingdom of God.
The scripture tells us that "But
the path of the just [is] as the
shining light, that shineth more
and more unto the perfect day".
Proverbs 4: 18
We should therefore understand
that any level we have achieved
is not ultimate or any level the
other person you know has
achieved to be ultimate. You
should always be looking out to
the next mountain to climb, there
is still much to be achieved (read
Joshua 18: 1-5)
What are scriptural backing
for commanding motion in
the life of a Christian?
In the book of 1Timothy 4,
Paul was encouraging
Timothy on the importance
of committing himself to the
word of God and he said vs.
14 Neglect not the gift that is
in thee, which was given thee by
prophecy, with the laying on of
the hands of the presbytery.15
Meditate upon these things; give
thyself wholly to them; that thy
profiting may appear to all.
MAIN TEXT
“The LORD our God
spake unto us in Horeb,
saying, Ye have dwelt
long enough in this
mount: Turn you, and
take your journey, and
go to the mount of the
Amorites, and unto all
[the places] nigh
thereunto, in the plain, in
the hills, and in the vale,
and in the south, and by
the sea side, to the land
of the Canaanites, and
unto Lebanon, unto the
great river, the river
Euphrates”.
Deuteronomy 1: 5-6

He was literary telling him that
there is a deposit in you which can
make you keep going up and
going strong once you give
yourself to the word of God and
meditation, a giant in you will
emerge.
Sometimes back I was visiting a
family who asked for prayers. As I
got into the house and we sat,
they handed over a child to me
and asked me to pray for the child
who has not been able to walk
since birth and was way passing
the walking stage after prayer
and encouragement to the
family, the Lord gave me a
revelation and said to me 'do you
see the burden the child is
becoming to the family? And I
said yes Lord, and God said so are
many Christians who after so
much time in church they are not
able to make a decision to do the
word of God;
Joshua 1: 8 This book of the law
shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein
day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all
that is written therein: for then thou
shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good
success, (achievement,
accomplishment, realization
attainment)
Life becomes a burden when
there is no progress, it becomes
frustrating and irrelevant not only
to you but to the people around
you.
Newton’s law of motion which laid
the foundation for classical
mechanics states that an object
remains at rest or continues to
move at a constant velocity
unless acted upon it by a force.
WHAT DO WE NEED IN ORDER TO ASSUME PROGRESS IN LIFE
We need the force of the word of God and meditation to break the burden of stagnation
We all remember very well the
story in John chapter 5 of the man
who spent 38 years at the pool
where everybody was collecting
their miracle and his only reason
was that I have no man to take
me into the pool when the water
is stirred. He was not ready to take
responsibility.
If you are waiting for a man to
help you, you will wait all your
lifetime.
In the book of Luke 13, Jesus
tells a parable of a man who
sought fruits from his vineyard and
when he could not find anything,
he said I will cut it down "7 Then
said he unto the dresser of his
vineyard, Behold, these three
years I come seeking fruit on this
fig tree, and find none: cut it
down; why cumbereth it the
ground? 8 And he answering said
unto him, Lord, let it alone this year
also, till I shall dig about it, and
dung [it]: 9 And if it bear fruit,
[well]: and if not, [then] after that
thou shalt cut it down. "
God expect you to be a fruit
bearing Christian. For a plant to
grow and produce fruit it must be
planted into the ground, watered,
access sunlight and so forth.
For a Christian to grow and
produce fruit he/she must be
planted in the house of God,
placed strategically to do the will
of God, accessing the light from
the word of God. Only then are
you guaranteed to make
satisfactory progress and produce
fruit that shall remain.
If you are no planted in the
house of God, you need to do so
now. It’s not by going to church or
church membership or even
baptism, it’s by confessing and
receiving Jesus as your Lord and
personal savior.
You can do so now by praying
this prayer after me. Please pray
with me any say “Lord Jesus, I
confess that I am a sinner who
needs your forgiveness, today I
come to you and confess my sins
that you forgive me and wash me
clean in the precious blood of
Jesus Christ. Come into my heart,
be my lord and personal savior,
today I receive you by faith and I
am now born again and I am a
child of God. Thank you for saving
me in Jesus name. Amen!”
Stay blessed and stay in the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rev. Justice Lukeshi

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage forever: for they

“Blood in the Urine Ceased Supernaturally”
“I was once a Muslim. Before I got converted, I urinated
blood for 14 years. I was taken to an herbalist who
instructed me to bathe in river every night at 10: 00 p.m. My
father accompanied me to the river where I did as
instructed, but the situation persisted.
On the other hand, on two different occasions. I rejected
the fliers given to me by members of this church. However,
this month I was given another flier and this time around,
accepted it. I reluctantly came to this church and the same
day, I was given the bottle of anointing oil. I took a shot of
it as instructed and amazingly, the blood ceased! I give all
the glory to Jesus”.
