Words of the Ministry:
Amen, today we intend to consider the ways out of stagnation, we have learnt alot about stagnation, we started by saying it isn’t God’s will for us to be stagnant, we said financial prosperity isn’t equal to spiritual progress. We highlighted the 2-area stagnation affects namely, the physical and the spiritual. In the week, we saw the 3 main reasons why people remain stagnated despite being saved, we said they were God, Satan and Man, having learnt all of those, we need to see God’s provision for our deliverance, what is the way out of stagnation, what steps can an individual take to change his situation, that is our goal today.
The suggestions to be made here are for believers as an unbeliever may not be free regardless of what he does because he is a captive of Satan. For a believer having being bought by the blood of the lamb and now being God’s dwelling place, the first and most important thing to do is spiritual introspection. Spiritual introspection is to by the guidance of the holy Spirit do a self-examination and be ready to take the rebuke of the Holy Spirit. This guidance by the Holy Spirit only comes through a sincere desire to take God’s opinion about us, the response could come directly as a word in our Spirit, a bible passage, a counsel from other saints, word of wisdom or a dream. Regardless of how it comes, we must be open to correction.
When the Lords shows us the areas we need to improve upon, we need to act fast in obedience, it may cost us our relationships, our status, public opinion and reputation but if truly we need a change, we must be ready to change. Some physical stagnation could be caused by relationship which we must end, it could be a certain character flaw we must admit and work on deliberately. The Lord could raise some matters concerning our spiritual stagnation which may affect our daily routine and business, in all our response should be yes to the Lord continually.
