In the past few weeks, Revive Nations released a phenomenal Word from the Greater Showers Conference in Montreal, Canada on both GOD TV and YouTube platforms. The videos include: Shortcuts to the Oil, Breaking Satan’s Overreach Over You, Avoid the Absalom Spirit and the latest, Activating the Spirit Part of You. Each message stands as a massive emissary from the heart of God to equip us to live victorious, at rest in the Goodness of Almighty God. May this series spur us forward to do great exploits by faith!
Shortcuts to the Oil – The Journey of Faith
After Jesus had spent time with the Father seeking grace, mercy and direction, He called His disciples and by His Word, said, “Follow Me.”
Notably, no oil was smeared on their heads. The disciples were not lined up, anointed and ordained. Jesus simply said, “Follow Me.”
Certainly, it is the journey with Jesus that became the oil on their heads.
There are two kinds of people: those that seek the oil and those who understand that Jesus is the Oil.
Later on, Jesus sent these same disciples out to minister in His Name (Luke 10:1-3). Jesus taught them how to pray like He prayed. Now, they were to go and produce the ministry of Jesus, by faith. And they did!
You are much blessed and protected by being part of this ministry.
Question: Do you realize what kind of oil is upon you?
Let’s not be limited in our understanding. By faith, we carry a mighty oil!
Though physical oil may never touch our heads, we are nevertheless, part of something spiritual, which is also physical. Remarkably, the resurrected Jesus could walk though the walls as a resurrected spirit. Yet He could still be touched. The resurrected Christ broke bread with His disciples and walked with them, and the spiritual manifested in the physical (See John 20-21, Luke 24). There was physical proof of His Presence.
May our faith grow to such a place, that it becomes a substance, our evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:11).
Undeniably the element of faith is critical in the Kingdom of God. In Hebrews 11, the author testifies how by faith, men and women of God ” subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens” ( vs 33-34).
Unquestionably, there are many anointed who, despite their oil, title or position, do no exploits in their life. Undeniably, there are many others in the Kingdom, who achieve much more,
The singular key element for those who do exploits is that they operate by FAITH.
The Challenge: The oil is already upon us as we walk with Jesus. Will we operate by faith to do great and mighty works? Or are we held back by fear or condemnation?
Breaking Satan’s Overarch on You
In this journey with Jesus, there will always be trials in your life. Even Abraham and Isaac endured famine in their lifetime (Genesis 12, 26).
Avoid the knee-jerk reaction. When you are facing something difficult and the enemy fills your heart with fear, whispering that maybe God is against you, refuse this lie! Try a different approach, one filled with faith.
Don’t allow these two things in your life, at any cost, for they will corrupt you: 1. Fear. 2. Condemnation.
There can be no relationship with God pursued in your life as long as you entertain fear and condemnation. If you are afraid of what will happen, you will do no exploits.
Remember, when God anointed you and called you, He knew how your ugly heart is “deceitful above all things and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9).God knew what you would inherit from your parents, passed down from Adam and Eve.
Yet, He took His precious Blood and redeemed us, sanctified us, not because we had already arrived, but because He knew, every day in Christ, we are on our journey of arrival!
The Recipe of Faith: Faith is the absence of fear and condemnation in our journey with God.
The Challenge: Will we refuse to entertain every fear and condemnation in our lives and walk in faith in the goodness of our God?
Beloved, this full sermon is available on the Shyju Mathew App, entitled “The Flight of Faith”.
Enjoy every part. More to come.
Shalom,
Prophet Shyju
