There’s always a price to pay to shift from one level in God to another level. However, the temporary afflictions we endure as part of the process of Father God’s dealings upon us cannot be compared to the glory that will be revealed in us. That glory is meant to be expressed on earth NOT in heaven. “Glory” has no purpose or relevance in heaven as it is an earthly dimension designed to be expressed on earth.

Difficult times often bring oppression to our minds, emotions, and our bodies. We feel burdened by fears and doubts and often don’t feel like giving God praise and worship. Sometimes things get so difficult we move from worshipping God to wondering about God. We think things like, “Why is this happening, God?” or “When will this stop God?” or “How long God?”. While these questions may not always be harmful, they are often motivated by doubt in God’s faithfulness, and that is harmful. When we meditate too long on our circumstances rather than the goodness of God, we will often find ourselves oppressed by those circumstances.

The key is to turn our focus toward the God of our salvation by entering into worship filled with Spirit and Truth! (See John 4:23-24). When we worship God with all our hearts, we are lifted out of the natural realm and transported to the supernatural realm. True worship leads us out of bondage, and toward freedom! Let the Holy Spirit lead you into the glorious presence of God’s power as you purpose to give God your whole heart and you lift Him up in praise and worship! It is the beginning of your breakthrough!

It takes a David to bring down Goliath. Too many people have been talking about corruption and bad governance in the nation for over a very long period of time. Yet none of these very people could do anything about it; their speech is just another cry of despair and hopelessness at the “Goliath” of national corruption, massive financial abuses and bad governance confronting them. I believe that it takes a mature Church to rise up and to address the massive corruption and bad governance in this nation. This mature Church is currently being built by Father God behind the scenes, waiting for God to orchestrate an opportunity for “David” (Church) to enter the battlefield (marketplace).

“David” (Church) has heard about corruption for far too long much (many years) like Apostle Paul constantly being bombarded by counterfeit speech from the woman who followed Paul; who possessed the spirit of divination who brought her masters much profit (Acts 16:18). Just as Paul who eventually got annoyed in his spirit and rebuked the woman which resulted in the evil spirit leaving her, we will see the Church of God getting aggravated in her spirit, which will serve as a vital ingredient needed for the Church to launch a divine attack against the national corruption and bad governance. This divine attack is released through speech, through the Word of God spoken by mature saints who carry spiritual stature in the spirit realm.

Father God hasn’t completed His purposes on earth yet. That’s why we can’t settle in our denominations thinking that we have arrived and that our doctrines are all there is to serving God.  When Father God sees that there is complacency in the Evangelical, Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, and that the church pioneers that birthed these churches/movements have passed away, He then chooses His new spiritual leaders who usher new divine movements on earth. These new divine movements birth new revelations that we have not received before from previous movements; previous movements such as Evangelical, Pentecostal & Charismatic movements.

In case you are unaware/uninformed, we are now in the Apostolic Season or what is called “Apostolic Movement”, which is essentially a clarion call to return to biblical authenticity. The Apostolic Movement comes with a new set of doctrines/teachings which builds on, enhances and redefines the foundational doctrines taught by the Evangelical, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches.

One such teaching/doctrine is the Doctrine of the Father/Son Wineskin, etc, which redefines how church leaders (spiritual fathers) and their church members (sons) relate with each other in with Father God.  The emergence of these new revelations/doctrines only indicate to us that Father God and His workmanship upon His corporate Church is one of a progressive nature; i.e. it is forwardly outworking itself towards fulfilment of His ultimate divine purposes.  Therefore, Evangelical, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches and believers cannot continue to be stagnant in their denominational doctrines; they need to lift up their eyes to see what Father God is presently doing in the nation and beyond.
