ALIGNING TO FULFIL DIVINE MANDATES


TEXT 2Tim 2:20-21
 20  But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
 21  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

MESSAGE
A mandate is an order given to somebody to carry out a certain task or duty. When God created man, it was for him to fulfill mandates. He was Predestinated to fulfill the Dominion mandate. Despite the fact that Satan, through sin, robbed man of this high call, Jesus died to give man a new life and a new mandate. He raised up for himself a people prepared and zealous for all good works. (Titus 2:14). To that extent, we were, in Jesus, predestinated to fulfill divine mandates. The fulfillment of these mandates is what determines if we had a fulfilled destiny or not.

God calls all men to come unto Him but not all fulfill His mandate or remain relevant to the mandate after a while. To qualify for, and fulfil Gods mandate over your life, you must prepare yourself and properly align your life for that. Mandates are fulfilled only by the persons that prepare themselves for them This preparation is what we mean by alignment and this alignment is what determines whether or not you are qualified to fulfill a divine mandate and whether or not we can enjoy continuous relevance in it.

The scriptures states unequivocally that the prerequisite which must be met before a man can be aligned and made ready for any mandate that the Lord would give is consecration. Easy English Version puts 2Tim 2:21 this way:
"It is like that with the*Lord’s people. If they make themselves completely separate from bad, dirty things, then they will be like dishes for special, clean purposes. They will be ready for God to use them. He is like the master of the house. They will be ready for him to use them for any good work. (2Tim 2:21).

It is one thing to be a child of God with all the rights and privileges of a child. But for you to be God's emissary making great impacts for Him, you must consecrate yourself. Make a conscious decision to live a consecrated life and God will flow through you mightily for unusual exploits

LET US PRAY
Dear heavenly Father. Thank you for calling me into you Great House

I receive grace to fulfil all you mandate over my life

I receive grace today to consecrate myself unto you, your service and calling.

I obtain mercy for faithfulness and consecration in Jesus Name

Father I pray for your church that you would sanctify us wholly, that our spirits soul and bodies may be kept blameless till the day of the Lord

I pray for our nation as many as are trying to withstand your word and will would proceed no further. Let their folly become manifest and evident to everyone

GO IN THIS THY MIGHT

TEXT: Judges 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? MESSAGE: While Gideon was still sckeptic of ever being able to engage his oposition in battle God gave him the battle instruction. God already told him that His presence with Gideon will ensure his easy victory. But he added one very key instruction that ties up everything together. He said GO IN THIS THY MIGHT What might was the Lord talking about? This might God says is the presence of the Lord by which he will defeat the enemy as though they were just one man (Judges 6:16). The Lord was saying that he should advance against his opposition being strong in the Lord. We shall explore this phrase in a couple of days, but one thing that we must get today is that we must go in the strength of God alone. There is always a tendency to engage your challenges with other forms of strength. It is wrong to engage your challenge...

SEIZE THE MOMENT 2: HOW TO ESCAP JUDGEMENT

Image
TEXT: Luke 23:39-42   39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. MESSAGE The malefactor (as he is called in our text) is actually crucified and facing his last moments on earth, he seizes the moment. In one desperate cry he turned the course of his destiny. He is on the brink of everlasting torment in hell. But just before he falls into eternal doom, one sentence saves him. He calls to the Lord. He didn't have the time to weep over his sins and the consequence. He had an audacity of faith and dared to ask for life in paradise. Guess what? He g...

THE MANUAL FOR ETERNAL LIFE

TEXT: 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness MESSAGE Most people today, especially in this part of the world, buy appliances and never bother to go through the manual. The result is that they either soon damage the appliance or grossly under utilize it. Someone once bought a very expensive android tablet and all he could do with it was to make and receive calls. he ran everywhere to send e-mails. He spent hours at business centres trying to get his documents typed. Many other things he suffered because he never knew that his tablet could be used to solve all of those issues. In much the same way, when we receive eternal life into our spirits, it will be foolish of us to just assume that we know what to do with it. Just as the wisest thing anybody that bought an applicance would do is to check for the manufacturer's instruction in the manual, so also...
