WHEN THOU HAST FOUND IT (PART 4). – THE MYSTERY OF THE FAMILY FOE

14737. EVERLASTING FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR THIS. MEMORABLE WEEKEND. THANK. YOU FOR WHAT YOU’VE PREPARED FOR US FROM ETERNITY. BLESSED BE THY HOLY NAME

14738. WHEN THOU HAST FOUND IT (PART 4). – THE MYSTERY OF THE FAMILY FOE

THERE IS SOMETHING YOU MUST FIND THIS WEEKEND. IT IS CALLED THE FAMILY FOE. IF YOU DON’T FIND IT, YOUR LIFE WILL BE CONTINUALLY MISERABLE, NO MATTER HOW RICH AND BLESSED YOU ARE!

FATHER ABRAHAM, AS BLESSED BY GOD AS HE WAS, HE DIDN’T FIND THAT FAMILY FOE UNTIL LOT AND HIS HERDSMEN THREATEN TO OVERTHROW THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE SHARING BREAKTHROUGH TESTIMONIES UPON TESTIMONIES AND STILL HAVE THE ENEMY OF THOSE BREAKTHROUGHS ATTACHED TO YOUR DESTINY AND NOT KNOW IT OR FIND OUT, UNTIL ALL THOSE BREAKTHROUGHS ARE MORTALLY WOUNDED AND THREATENED WITH ABORTION AND REVERSALS!

MATTHEW 10:36-39 (KJV)

36. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

37. He that loveth father or mother MORE THAN ME is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter MORE THAN ME is not worthy of me.

38. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

39. HE THAT FINDETH HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT: AND HE THAT LOSETH HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE SHALL FIND IT.

LUKE 14:26-28 (KJV):

26. If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, YEA, AND HIS OWN LIFE also, he cannot be my disciple.

27. And whosoever doth not BEAR HIS CROSS, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28. For which of you, intending to BUILD A TOWER, SITTETH NOT DOWN FIRST, AND COUNTETH THE COST, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

14739. THE TERRITORIAL EXPANSION AND DIZZYING TOWERS OF ABRAHAM NEVER HAPPENED UNTIL HE SAT DOWN TO COUNT THE NEGATIVE COST OF LOT’S COMPANIONSHIP AND SEPARATED HIMSELF FROM THAT HIDDEN ADVERSARY.

YOU ARE DESTINY TOWER BUILDER, BUT THAT TOWER WILL NEVER TAKE OFF FROM THE GROUND IF YOU RELISH IN THE COMPANIONSHIP OF HIDDEN FOES THAT WANT YOU TO WALLOW IN THE DUST OF FOLLY!

YOU’RE A TERRITORIAL GIANT, SIT DOWN NOW AND THINK THROUGH YOUR DESTINY PROJECT! COUNT THE COST AND PAY THE PRICE OF SELF DENIAL ALIAS CONSECRATION!

14740. LISTEN TO ME, I BESEECH THEE. THOSE UNBELIEVERS WHO ARE STUPENDOUSLY WEALTHY WITH THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF WORKERS IN THEIR EMPLOYMENT, DO YOU THINK THEY GOT TO THAT LEVEL BY PRAYING?

WAKE UP PEOPLE OF GOD! THOSE FELLAS AIN’T DUMMIES! THEY GOT THERE BY THINKING, PLANNING, WILLFUL AND SACRIFICIAL EXECUTION OF THEIR VISIONS!

THAT (VISION/DREAM) (PROVERBS 29:18) IS A UNIVERSAL LAW OF GOD, AND HE IS A COVENANT-KEEPING GOD! HE WILL HONOUR THAT LAW, REGARDLESS OF IF YOU’RE BORN AGAIN OR NOT!

THANK GOD FOR PRAYERS, BUT THERE IS AN INDISPUTABLE PLACE OF THINKING IN THE JOURNEY TO GREATNESS!

“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” (EPHESIANS 3:20)

THE REALM OF EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY IS NOT THE EXCLUSIVE PRESERVE OF PRAYER WARRIORS. IN FACT, MANY PRAY AMISS BECAUSE THEY ONLY WANT TO ENJOY THE GLAMOUR ASSOCIATED WITH THAT REALM OF BLESSINGS TO GRATIFY THEIR FLESH (JAMES 4:3)

THEY NEVER PRAYED FOR INCREASED CAPACITY OR WISDOM TO MANAGE AND PRESIDE OVER THAT REALM OF GREATNESS TO GLORIFY GOD.

ASK THOSE PRAYER WARRIORS NOW WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIR 10%. HOW FAITHFUL ARE THESE PRAYER WARRIORS WITH THEIR LITTLE TITHE NOW BEFORE THE RAINFALL OF “EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY”?

MANY PRAYER WARRIORS ARE LIVING A LIFESTYLE OF MENE MENE – THAT IS A LIFESTYLE OF BEING WEIGHTED BY GOD AND FOUND WANTING

YOU PAID TITHE OF $100 FROM A SALARY OF $1,000 BUT WHEN GOD BLESSED YOU WITH A GIFT OF $100,000 YOU FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO PAY A TITHE OF $10,000 BECAUSE YOU SUDDENLY HAVE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO PURCHASE AND CAN’T AFFORD TO DEDUCT A WHOLE $10,000 AS TITHE.

IT IS SHEER DELUSION TO THINK $10MILLION DOLLARS WOULD GRACE YOUR UNFAITHFUL HANDS. GOD WILL RATHER KEEP YOU AT YOUR 1,000 SALARY LEVEL, SINCE THAT’S THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF YOUR FAITHFULNESS. GOD WON’T TAKE YOU TO THE REALM WHERE YOU BECOME UNFAITHFUL TO HIM AND HIS KINGDOM.

“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.” (LUKE 16:10 NLT)

THE DAY YOU CONSIDER GOD’S BLESSINGS AS TOO MUCH TO GIVE BACK WHAT BELONGS TO HIM, THAT’S THE END OF THAT BLESSING.

YOU MUST HAVE A PERPETUAL MENTALITY OF SEEING GOD’S BLESSINGS AS TOO LITTLE TO GIVE BACK UNTO HIM. IF YOU DON’T SEE A TITHE OF $100 MILLION AS TOO LITTLE TO GIVE BACK TO HIM FROM A BLESSED GIFT OF $1 BILLION! YOU WILL NEVER BECOME A KINGDOM BILLIONAIRE!

PLEASE, DON’T DISTRACT ME WITH MESSAGE OF TITHES, THAT’S NOT OUR FOCUS HERE. LOCATING AND SEPARATING FROM THE FAMILY FOE IS OUR FOCUS TONIGHT!

WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT IN YOUR BLESSED JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY, IF YOU’RE BLIND TO IDENTIFY WHO YOUR FAMILY FOES ARE, AND SEPARATE FROM THEM, YOU WILL NEVER ARRIVE IN THAT LAND. THOSE FOES WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO ARRIVE AT THAT REALM OF DIVINE BLESSINGS!

YOU HAVE PRAYED AND PRAYED, AND PRAYED WITH MINISCULE RESULTS. IT’S BECAUSE YOU HAVE SUSPENDED YOUR THINKING MACHINE! YOUR BRAIN HAS GONE ON SABBATICAL! THAT’S WHY THE DESTINY TOWER YOU’RE BUILDING REFUSES TO RISE FROM THE GROUND! FRIENDS, YOU CANNOT SKIP OR ESCAPE THE PLACE OF THINKING “sitteth not down FIRST and counteth the cost” (LUKE 14:28)

WHEN RABBONI SAYS, “FIRST” IT MEANS, YOU CANNOT PUT IT SECOND PLACE AND SUCCEED! THINKING IS NUMBER 1 BEFORE YOU RUSH INTO FEVERISH PRAYERS! UNTIL YOU THINK THROUGH, YOU CAN’T PRAY THROUGH!

14741. ONE DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF MY WALK WITH GOD IS THAT I LOVE HIM MORE THAN ANYBODY IN MY LIFE!

ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO WHEN GOD BEGAN TO BLESS ME EXCEEDINGLY ABOVE ALL MY SIBLINGS. I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THAT, BECAUSE I’VE NOT SEEN ANY OF THEM FOR A WHILE AND BECAUSE, I LIVE IN ANOTHER FAR DISTANT CITY FROM THEM.

MY MOM CAME TO VISIT ME AND WAS SHOCKED BY THE LEVEL OF MY BLESSINGS WHEN COMPARED TO THE IMPECUNIOSITY OF MY SIBLINGS.

SHE PLEADED WITH ME TO ALLOW HER TO CARRY A WARDROBE FULL OF DRESSES WE HAD CONDEMNED AND ARE PLANNING EITHER TO GIVE TO THE POOR OR BURN THEM. SHE WANTED TO GIVE THEM TO MY SIBLINGS WHO WERE LESS BLESSED THAN I WAS.

I WAS SURPRISED AND HAPPY TO RELEASE THE CLOTHES FOR HER WHENEVER SHE CHOOSES TO RETURN TO HER CITY. BUT I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SPAKE TO ME SAYING: “SON, DON’T PLAY CHARITY GAMES WITH HOUSEHOLD FOES, FOR THY MOCKERS ARE SEETHING WITH FURY”

THAT WAS SHOCKING AND DEEP REBUKE OF MY TOTAL IGNORANCE OF WHO MY FAMILY FOES ARE! I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SET TIME APART TO SEEK THE FACE OF THE LORD FOR DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS HIDDEN ADVERSARIES.

OOOOHHH HE SHOWED ME A SEASON OF MOCKERY IN MY LIFE WHEN I PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO EVERY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY AND THEY MOCKED ME WITH LAUGHTER AND UNBELIEF.

NOW THAT I WAS BEING BLESSED, INFORMATION FILTERED TO THEM AND THEIR FORMER MOCKERY BECAME CONVERTED TO ENVY, RIVALRY AND HATRED. YOU CAN NEVER APPEASE THY FOES WITH GIFTS. THEY WON’T SEE IT AS GIFTS. THEY WOULD RATHER CHOOSE TO INTERPRET IT AS BRAGGING, AND THEIR RESPONSE WOULD BE INDIGNATION AND WOULD RATHER USE YOUR GIFT AS POINT OF CONTACT TO PULL YOU DOWN.

WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT OUR IMPULSIVE DESIRE TO HELP THOSE LESS ENDOWED THAN US MUST ALWAYS BE EXERCISED WITH DISCRETION AND COUNSEL OF GOD, AND NOT WITH EMOTION OR SENTIMENTS, IF WE DON’T WANT TO BECOME VICTIMS OF OUR OWN FOLLIES
