Focus On Your Direction

You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.” 1 Peter 2:9 It is a great honour and privilege to be chosen by God as a royal priest. Being used by God is the ultimate blessing. Our focus should remain on ministering to the Lord and those who don't know Him as their Lord and Savior. Our daily prayer life should be focused on praying for others. Focus on the Kingdom We are aware that our Heavenly Father faithfully provided all our legitimate needs, this is not our focus. Our spiritual man has a deep zeal to serve Him, see Him glorified, and see His Kingdom arrive on earth. Our primary intention when we come is to give and not to receive (Matt 6:24-33). Focus on the fivefold, elders, and deacons. Ephesians 4:11, And His gifts were [varied; He appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, travelling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers. The focus of the fivefold ministry is to further the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Elders are focused on the people of God, their growth to maturity, and ensuring the life and function of a local community. The Church is a place where community thrives. Acts 20:28 ( AMP), Take care and be on guard for yourselves and the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you bishops and guardians, to shepherd (tend and feed and guide) the church of the Lord of God which He obtained for Himself [buying it and saving it for Himself] with His own blood. The Kingdom's excellence is the focus of deacons' practical tasks. One Heart, One Mind and One Vision The importation of the singleness of vision can not be outstretched. For a team to work harmoniously, they must have a shared vision, and it is the leader's responsibility to recognize and communicate that vision. Contributing to that vision is possible for other team members, but they cannot work independently to come up with something new. They need to see themselves as helping the leader achieve his vision. It is impossible for a man with a distinct vision to join a team and then attempt to impose it on the leader or team. If his vision is crucial to him, he should remain separate so that he can work out his vision independently. Amos 3:3, Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction? Prayer Focus There is strength and power imparted through focused prayer. It's common for people to turn to Jesus for a general prayer, asking 'Oh, Lord, help me!' He will respond and ask, 'What specifically do you want me to do for you?' He made them to be very specific. Focus on the Prophetic Impartation
 The one imparting understands there is a right timing to impart a spiritual blessing. Despite having a strong anointing for ministry, some individuals cannot impart. The reason may be their lack of vision beyond their ministry area, or they haven't grasped the concept of generational ministry. Some people even unintentionally transfer "spirit to spirit". Those who sit under certain ministries can receive various gifts due to the faith that is imparted. The key is having open-heartedness and generosity of spirit. A gift, ability, spiritual quality, or understanding is transferred supernaturally through impartation. The Spirit intervenes directly to give a gift and measure it to someone who asks. Does it come from the individual? Yes! It's a mystery that allows us to pass on our gifts to others. The Giver and the person who imparts work together to give the gift. Often through impartation, there is a likeness between the one receiving and the giver. Focus on your Spiritual Children Choose your spiritual children wisely. Select those who possess a productive and receptive heart. Choose those that align with your spiritual DNA. Include those who have a natural connection as part of the integration process. Generally, your sons and daughters will be destined for a ministry that is similar to or more than your own. Be ready for the next generation to follow God differently. Despite being true spiritual children, they will fulfil their calling, which may take the work you started and then proceed in different directions. Generational succession is not cloning, but it is an opportunity for you to continue to have your vision. The vision changes and becomes more focused and generationally relevant. Spiritual sons and daughters are desired by many; it requires wisdom to discern who God has given to and remain faithful to the calling. Therefore, it's important not to rush to 'cast your pearls before swine'. Jesus has perfect discernment working in his heart before releasing His precious blessings to anyone. He had a perfect ability to discern the hearts of individuals. John 2:23, Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. v.24, But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, v.25, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. Some time ago, I asked the Lord a question and on April 15th, 2023, He answered me saying: “You asked Me, 'How can I turn Israel and the nations to Myself?' So I answered you according to Zechariah 4:6. “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts. Therefore, it is through the operation and manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit working mightily through My Church. You are how I accomplish my task. Immediately I was reminded of the prophecy given to me by Dr.Bill Hamon during the School of the Prophets (OPI) on June 26th, 2021, ... ” you are My instrument to get the job done therefore rise and be the man of faith, boldness, miracles with signs and wonders and I will fulfil all that I promised you and I will take care of the finances, I take care of the people, I take care of the situations. You just do what I tell you to do, and I will take care of all the rest, says the Lord”. Amen So, now stay focused on what I called you. I want you to be a voice for this generation of the end times. On the same day, through My servant Bill, who prophesied, saying 'I anoint you now!' and I appoint you now! To be my voice, I will back you up to speck My Word with demonstration. You speak My Word, and I will heal the sick, cast out demons, and make a way when there was no way, and the prayers of the saints will continue to be strong. Also, I spoke through Jackie Mare on July 21st, 2022, saying that you are the voice of the Lord like John the Baptist, with the fullness of the Lord to speak forth auricles. I confirm My word through the words of My holy prophets. Now, ask Me not only for the gift of prophecy but for the office of prophet, with the downloading of spiritual authority and dominion over the regions and nations. ( 1 Corinthians12:28, Eph. 2:20, 4:11). Not only that but also ask Me for the office of the apostle under the leadership of the Chef Apostle, Jesus Christ and co-labouring together with High Priest. In order of Melchizedek for the equipping of the Saints and the work of the ministry until the Body of Messiah growing and maturing to the full measure of the statue of Christ”. Now, as you are asking, bring the anointing oil and pour it into the 'Horn of Salvation'. Get down on your knees in front of Me. Now, as I anointed David by the prophet Samuel, I anointed you to be My witness to the resurrected power. Be not afraid, for I didn't give you the spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind to be My witness in these days. Do you remember the word of prophecy through My prophetess Annette Wright on February 6th, 2022 saying “ God has given you the nation of Thailand and I prophesy that it will even flow as Isaiah 6:1-3, that he saw the LORD high and lifted, and that the trait of His glory filled the temple. I believe that your desire is dead. It's all for Christ and Christ alone. Therefore, I prophesy that the glory of the LORD will flow through your hands and manifest what God has aligned you to do, and you will become a true apostle, moving in far East Asia. Stay focused on your direction You are like a big ship or train that is fuelled by burning coals. Therefore, keep your eyes on the Lighthouse, which is Christ, the Rock, the Author, and the Finisher of our faith. Let's be hidden in Christ, the Rock, with God. The still small voice speaking inward will always guide and lead you towards all the truth. A good example of this is God's Revelation to Prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 19:11-12. Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; v.12, and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. Even with supernatural manifestations like earthquakes, storms, winds, and fires before the Lord, the noise dissipated and silence prevailed. Elijah could hear clearly what appeared to be a small whisper of a voice. The true glory was not in the earthquake, storm, or fire, but in the deep inward intimacy that emanates from the divine relationship with the Heavenly Father. So, let's not chase visible manifestations even though they will come as signs of His presence, but let us seek after the Lord Himself.I am awake to the deep responsibility for this generation as the voice called to proclaim not only in the wilderness but also on the highway, rooftops, basements, street corners, and any other platform where the voice of the Lord can be heard. Our focus should be on the Lord, not on visible manifestations that may appear as proof of His presence.
