ETERNITY VS IMMORTALITY

THE FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS SUFFICIENT FOR ALL BELIEVERS

[John 2:2-5]
“Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, ‘Whatever He says to you, do it.’ ”
We know about the fixed date of the Father and yet we also know that the fixed date doesn’t bind God. Mary instructed the disciples that they must do as Jesus says and it was because of obedience that Jesus was able to perform the miracle even when His time had not come.
Now some of us must always remember that obedience allows us to get things even when it is not time. When you obey God, even things that were not supposed to happen will happen because of your obedience. Obedience has the power to unlock and a disobedient person always has to wait for the right time.
God can give an obedient person a job because He knows that throughout working they will still be able to obey when He speaks. Obedients can overlap time. An obedient person can be given things even though it is not yet the right time.
Let obedience be something that we always pray for, so that we may be obedient at all times. For when we are obedient God is the One in control. An obedient person can be led by the Holy Spirit because they leave everything to the Holy Spirit. What makes us not to be ready is when we do not leave everything to the Holy Spirit.
[Isaiah 60:22]
“Even your smallest and humblest family will become as great as a powerful nation. When the right time comes, I will make this happen quickly. I am the Lord!”
Are you prepared and are you ready? Time is not in question for us. We know that it is time. When the right time comes, God will make it happen quickly and that time is now, therefore we shall outrun. For He will make it happen quickly and this is overrunning.
Now let us not be happy that people depend on us. It is a curse, not a blessing for people to depend on you. It is a curse for people to think that you can make things happen. They must know Jesus Christ is the one doing it. It is not I ‘Abraham Unknown’ who is doing it but Jesus Christ.
All those testimonies that we have been getting are all God in work. God is making it happen and it is happening so to give thanks to Him.
[John 14:3]
“And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to Myself, so that you will be where I am.”
The place was already prepared, that place was Him. That is why He Says “I will lead you to Myself.” Jesus is showing us that He is the place. Jesus has already prepared us because we were prepared in God. When Jesus came He was a prepared person with rooms. So what He was saying is that if a place has not been prepared He will go and prepare it to bring you to Him.
This tells us that He came to bring us closer to Himself. He is the house of the Father. Because the Father dwells in Him and Him, there are many rooms. Who are those rooms? Us. We are those rooms in Him. Jesus Christ’s dying was like one seed falling and drawing many unto Him to become one body.
[Psalms 23:5]
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.”
Remember that your enemy is your flesh and not other people. God prepares the table in your heart where God is rooted for your soul and your spirit to eat what He has prepared. There is a table prepared and that food is the Word of God. When God prepares you, He also prepares the table so that you may eat.
[2 Timothy 2:21-23]
“Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honour, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.”
You need to be prepared for a good way because there is a lot that will be happening this year as we outrun and overrun. The difference between outrun and overrun is that outrun is when someone is before you and you outrun them; overrun is when you run over what you are capable of.
So we will not just finish at the finish line. Now to Him who can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20) that is overrunning. What was even meant for the coming years, you will receive during this year because you are overrunning. Declare at all times that you will overrun and outrun.
Now you need to decide today that you are letting go of the things of the world. No more to the former things and forget the things of the world that you desire of the flesh because they are there to ensure that you don’t partake in the outrun and overrun atmosphere.
Do you want to testify? Separate yourself from the desires of this world. It does not mean that you must stop speaking to other people but rather stop doing bad things. Stop revisiting your former life and the lustful ways.
[1 Peter 1:13-14]
“So then, have your minds ready for action. Keep alert and set your hope completely on the blessing that will be given to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. Be obedient to God, and do not allow your lives to be shaped by those desires you had when you were still ignorant.”
