Topic:THE PRICE MUST BE PAID
Memorise:
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of
thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee,
nor forsake thee. Joshua 1:5
After God
chose Joshua to succeed Moses, Joshua was afraid, as he wondered how he could
ever fit into Moses’ big shoes. Therefore, God came to reassure him, calm his
fears and promised to be with him. He said to him Joshua 1:5 that:
“There
shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I
was with Moses, son I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake
thee.”
Thereafter,
he had a smooth ride in ministry until the day the children of Israel fled
before Ai. Joshua felt disappointed that God had gone back on His promise, so
he went back to God and asked Him “Lord, I thought You said nobody would be
able to withstand us. He come we are fleeing before a little city like Ai?” God
replied “That is correct, but you are not disconnected from me, and until you
resittute and deal with the sin, I will not continue with you.”
If God
will use you for great signs and wonders, you must be prepared to make instant
restitution. God is about to do great exploits, but if you are not prepared to
pay the price, you will be a spectator and not a key player. Have you stolen
God’s money, particularly tithes, first fruits and offerings? Pay back immediately!
Did your members contribute some money for a particular thing but you diverted
it to something else? Restitute! Have you been looking at the wrong direction?
Restitute by facing the direction God wants you to take.
There is
a price to pay to be a minister or vessel of signs and wonders, one of which is
a readiness to operate in by physical and spiritual realms simultaneously. When
you pay this price, you will start seeing the invisible. You will not only see
angels and the heavenly hosts like Elisha’s servant in today’s Bible reading,
you might equally see demons. This should not scare you. When you can see
demons, you will immediately see them in any demon-possessed individual brought
to you, and when you cast them out, you will be able to know whether they have
really gone or are just pretending to have done so. Asking demons how many they
are inside their victim is of no use when the minister cannot see them. Even if
there is just one of them, because You cannot see him, he can lie to you. How prepared
are you to pay the price?
