HOW GOD MOVED SALVATION MINISTRIES FROM ONE PHASE TO ANOTHER THROUGH DIVINE GUIDANCE
NO VISION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT YOU PUTTING YOUR ENERGY TO IT; YOU HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE, YOU WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE IT WORK
THE DIVINE PLAN OF GOD FOR YOU IS IN PHASES; YOU MUST RUN WITH PATIENCE AND DO NOT BE WEARY IN PURSUING
AFTER YOU HAVE DISCOVERED PURPOSE, YOU MUST WALK IN DIVINE GUIDANCE
– Pastor David Ibiyeomie
Listen carefully: life is likened to a book. This Bible is the book. When you discover purpose it is a discovery of the book; but the book is closed. You now have a responsibility. Now listen: the book is the purpose, vision, that God has given you. But if you look at the Bible, it has chapters. After you have discovered purpose, you must walk in divine guidance. Church Gist. Divine guidance are the chapters. So, God told me your purpose is, ‘Now I have separated you to be a Preacher.’ I discovered my purpose in 1995 at the age of 33. But I now began to enquire from God from phase to phase. He said, go to Port Harcourt. I said, yes, which part of Port Harcourt? He said GRA. (Chapter one). Chapter one GRA, landlord gave me quit notice. I asked him again, now that landlord has given us quit notice, where again? He said, shift. (Chapter 2). Church Gist. I asked him again, now we are too many, we can’t build school in this compound, we can’t do anything here, what again? He said, towards the airport – chapter 3. Every time you are stuck, ask questions. That’s divine direction.
When the brook dried, Elijah said, what next? He said go to the widow of Zarephath; but that is where many Christians miss it: ‘God told me to be a business man, you started the business but you have not asked Him what next to do for the next level. Church Gist. So you are just stuck in one point for 10 years. The asking is the different chapters and it will never end till you die. Every time you are stuck it means you have not asked Him for the next chapter.
Let me tell you something: He told me, plot 17 Birabi Street – chapter one. Chapter two: Igwuruta, cathedral. And then He said, now you have the university. I said but university can’t enter this place. Church Gist. He said move again close to the airport – chapter 4. As they were talking there, there’s something again he told me which I will not tell you now – Chapter 5. I can’t get stuck; before one chapter finishes, another chapter has opened.
Let me come very practical: we were doing healing, deliverance, and miracle service every month, we got to that point, we stopped and entered another chapter, Port Harcourt miracle crusade, we went to civic centre. We got to Port Harcourt miracle crusade and stopped 2007 – no space again, the stadium was full. Church Gist. We now shifted to night of glory. The biggest program ever in Port Harcourt was that night of glory. After that, 5 nights of glory; people began to do glory of all glory. When that chapter closed, He said, ‘Glory reign’. Many of us have not opened the chapter of divine direction.
Some have gotten divine direction, they know what God has told them yet they are not making progress – no pursuit. This is because no vision can be accomplished without you putting your energy to it. After all you have opened, you have to pay the price; you will accept responsibility to make it work. Church Gist. Are you hearing me? Ecclesiastes 3:1-11. Every purpose has a time; that’s where many people miss it. There has to be pursuit; pay the price. No lazy man can succeed. Give it all it takes.
You know when I slept this morning? I slept in between 2 times to hear from God. I was tired, I was not flowing. So I went to sleep but final sleep was 7:30am. When I slept, I said “Father, I know you have a purpose. Ye are gods is not working.” Church Gist. He said, teach this one. When I woke up, I began to study. I was just flowing, I didn’t struggle to prepare this message because I am on purpose. But after purpose, I opened book which is divine guidance. God will not open the book to read it for me.
Many of us don’t pay the price to accomplish what God has told us. It looks as if what God said is not true. It’s true but too much laziness in the world.
The plan is in phases; don’t be weary in pursuing divine plans. You must run with patience when you are on divine plan.
