AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD: THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE – LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU TODAY – AND EVEN NOW!

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD, and fasted, THE HOLY GHOST SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul FOR THE WORK whereunto I have CALLED them . . .” Acts 13:1-12.

You can hear the VOICE of the Holy Spirit today if you let Him. He does SPEAKS and I know that for SURE and CERTAINLY. Will you let Him SPEAK to you TODAY and even NOW?

It’s a high time individual BELIEVER’S in Christ develop the more subconscious ATTITUDE of MINISTERING TO the LORD rather than MINISTERING FOR the LORD, so that they can HEAR the SPEAKING VOICE of the HOLY SPIRIT. It’s upon being WITH THE LORD firstly that He EMPOWERS you to go FORTH and DO His Kingdom mandate in grace and speed unhindered.

Don’t be so madly and crazy about getting God’s POWER as some are, compared to having a strong desire to be with Him in LIFE and GRACE. POWER are for PURPOSE, and PURPOSE can serves a good KINGDOM CAUSE in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus when known and understood. And can only be made known and understood, through the communion – FELLOWSHIP – with Him to get the needed INSTRUCTIONS not ADVICE to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with Him; and to help know and understand His PRINCIPLE act for your RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for the given cause. For ABUSIVENESS in anything is a result of the limited knowledge and understanding, born from assumption in ignorance of God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

The early or first Disciples who became Apostles and pioneers of the Faith where firstly and primarily called to BE WITH THE LORD, so that the LORD WILL BE FOR THEM, in EMPOWERING them as He sent them FORTH for the GOSPEL with commission mandate for the mission – Mark 3:13-19.

Don’t go hastening FOR the LORD’S Kingdom mandate; instead go MINISTERING TO the LORD in person and He will in turn BE with you in all Plans, Purpose and Pursuits. Psalms 16:11.

This is how to win your day for good in Ministry, Marital relationship, Any other Relationship, Business, Career, Education, Entrepreneurship, Conflicts Resolution and such likes.

It’s time to develop the heartfelt love that MINISTERS to the LORD always. For in His PRESENCE is the fullness of joy and life for evermore. DO YOURSELF A GOOD FAVOUR IN MAKING A NEW START TODAY – Psalms 16:11.

“Thou wilt SHEW ME THE PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY;at THY RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore “Psalms 16:11

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD, and fasted, THE HOLY GHOST SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul FOR THE WORK whereunto I have CALLED them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: 7 which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10 and said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord” Acts 13:1-12.

“He went up on the hillside and CALLED those whom He Himself wanted and chose; and they came to Him. 14 And He appointed twelve [disciples], so that they WOULD BE WITH HIM [for instruction] and so that He COULD SEND THEM out to PREACH [the gospel as apostles—that is, as His special messengers, personally chosen representatives], 15 and to have AUTHORITY AND POWER to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), 17 and James, the son of [b]Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”); 18 and [He also appointed] Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathanael), and Matthew (Levi the tax collector), and Thomas, and [c]James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas the son of James), and Simon the Zealot; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him” Mark 3:13-19 Amplified.
