I am rounding up this piece with what my darling friend shared with me some years back, the Lord told him to start a church in the heart of Kogi state. He moved according to the voice of God to the location, got an apartment with little space atleast to start the fellowship from there.
Just 3 weeks after they started, a jeep was driven into his compound, a man got down, asked for my friends name, when my friend saw him, he was surprised to see one of the biggest pastor in town visiting him.
A proper Yoruba man quickly prostrated, the man said he wasn’t interested in all his greeting but have come to warn him to move his church out of his territory. He said just 3weeks you came into this town, we could no longer hold our occult meeting.
The blood vendor can’t even get into OUR church to do his work again, we discovered that your prayers have been the reason and I have come to warn you else we will use every machinery in our disposal against you.
True to their threat, they fought him but Jesus triumphed.
Young man of God if there is a battle you will fight as you come into the ministry it’s against this people, they’re everywhere.
You can’t afford to join them because their end is the lake of fire if they don’t repent.
You don’t have to sign a path with the devil to excel in the ministry, you will suffer but I can assure you that you will triumph.
You may not have money like them, or affluence but Jesus will be proud of you.
You may not be popular in the sight of men but Jesus will know you.
Myself and friend were preaching in a village some years ago, we pray that the Lord should lead us to any of HIS servant in that town, there are beautiful churches there but to our surprise, he led us to a man preaching at the motor park
The reality is there are still men who had not sore their hand with blood. There are men that have followed Jesus wholeheartedly without blemish, if the Lord leads you anyone of them please, cherish them.
Of what use is a ministry that you will have to sleep with a virgin every 2wks to appease the devil, of what importance is a ministry that you will have to sleep with a man as a man.
Sleeping at the beach every fortnight is not a ministry but a misery, sleeping with marine being is not prosperity but punishment.
What’s the gain in sleeping with another man’s wife to grow a church, the devil is not your friend, my friend, flee, Jesus can help you if you’re already into it.
Repent, I cry repent, you’re already in hell with your path with devil.
Serving Jesus and following HIM alone is enough to win souls.
It’s not compulsory to have 500,000 people worship in your church, God knows your capacity and you can’t do what He hasn’t sent you to do.
Young man, the devil is after you but with Jesus you’re secured.
Don’t go about looking for money, fame, and crowd, go and preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus. If it pleases the Lord, He bless you and if not you will reign with Him.
Blessings beloved,
AT Joel.
