3 Keypoints From: Your Hometown Must Be Saved

  • Ensure that you regularly preach the gospel to the people of your hometown so that you can turn as many souls as possible to the path of righteousness.
  • Jesus specifically told His followers to start preaching the gospel from their hometowns when He said in Acts 1:8.
  • The Bible says that if you do this, you are wise, and great glory lies ahead of you (Daniel 12:3).

  • “Preach the word of God and start a fellowship in your hometown to ensure that the light of God shines there.”

    MEMORISE: And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. (Luke 9:6)

    3 Keypoints From: Oh Lord Arise

  • Do you know that it is possible for you to get God to rise on your behalf? (Psalm 144:5-6)
  • When the battle is becoming too great for you, and you need urgent divine intervention, you can specifically ask God to arise and come down to the earth for your sake, and He will do so. (Psalm 68:1-2)
  • Do not despair when you are faced with seemingly impossible situations. Cry unto God, and He will surely arise to deliver your.

  • “I have discovered from the Scriptures and from personal experiences that whenever a genuine child of God is faced with overwhelming situations and circumstances, and he or she cries for God to arise and fight the battle, God always shows up.”

    Memorise: Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgement that thou hast commanded. (Psalm 7:6)

    2 Keypoints From: Your Time Of Visitation

  • When you are feeling tempted not to go where God expects you to go, or you feel like leaving where He expects you to be, whether it is a church service or a place of spiritual assignment, it means that the devil is trying to make you miss your blessings.
  • Apart from missing the time of divine visitation (by not being in the right place at the right time), the devil also tries to get believer to be in the wrong places so that he can carry out his evil plans on them.

  • Be consistent in your walk with God and in your service to Him. Surrender all to Him and be diligent in doing what He has called you to do. He will surely visit and reward you. (Ephesians 6:8)

    Memorise: For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. (Ecclesiastes 9:12)

    3 Keypoints From: Let Him Fight For You

  • The reason God tells you not to fight for yourself or avenge yourself is that you belong to Him, and He is responsible for you. (Lamentations 3:22)
  • Whenever you fight for yourself, you are telling God that you own yourself and can take care of yourself; for Him to stay out of your matter.
  • You are stronger when you are quiet and confident in the ability of the Lord to fight for you.

  • “People who confront you already think that they are stronger than you, therefore, when you shout and try to fight for yourself, you will only make them feel stronger. However, when you are quiet but confident, they will know that the greater one is behind you.”

    Memorise: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (Romans 12:19)

    3 Keypoints From: True Worship

  • When genuine worshippers worship God in public, it is an offshoot of what they have been doing in private. (They actually prefer private than public, so that they can freely express themselves).
  • Another indicator of fake worship is when your worship consists only of clapping, singing, and dancing, without seeking to know and obey God.
  • If you do not seek to do His will at all times (pleasing God), but only like to sing worship songs, you are only enjoying good music; you are not truly worshipping.
  • True worshippers give their hearts completely to God and seek to glorify Him with everything in their lives. (1 Corinthians 10:31)

  • “Worship comes from the heart, and it is expressed across every part of your life, not just the lips. (Psalm 42:1-2)

    Memorise: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. (John 4:23)

    3 Keypoints From: Only By Grace

  • If you think that you are successful because of how smart or brilliant you are, my question for you is, did you create your brain?
  • You couldn't have single-handedly create the opportunities that you had while climbing up the ladder of success.
  • The moment a fellow becomes proud, destruction is already waiting at the door. (Proverbs 16:18)

  • “Never forget about God's abundant grace, and be careful never to think that you are superior to other people. God is the one raising you and all the glory must be given Him.”

    Memorise: Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)

    3 Keypoints From: Prophesy With Wisdom (2)

  • When God sends a message through you to someone, you must be careful about the way you relay that message to the fellow.
  • After asking God for wisdom on how to relay the message, you might also need to advise the fellow on how to use the information that he or she now has.
  • If you know that the fellow may not use the prophecy correctly, and God is not compelling you to reveal the message, you may decide to just approach the person with general advice and guidance concerning that issue.

  • “Beloved, the gift of prophecy is to perfect the saints, not to confuse or endanger them (Ephesians 4:11-12); use it wisely!”

    MEMORISE: The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 10:11)

    4 Keypoints From: Prophesy With Wisdom (1)

  • It is not everything that God tells you that you should tell others. There are certain things God tells you that are for your ears only.
  • God likes to share secrets with those that are close to Him. If He tells you a secret, you should ask Him if it is okay to share it with anyone.
  • Prophecies must be handled with care because some people might not be able to receive, understand, and interpret what God is saying correctly.
  • When God tells you something about a particular fellow, you are not to say that thing in public except He specifically asks you to do so.

  • “Our God is not a gossip. If He gives you information about someone, it is not for you to discuss it with the whole world. Isaiah 38:1-5. If instead of telling the fellow privately, you announced the prophecy to the whole world, if God changes His mind, you will be left to defend what you had prophesied.”

    MEMORISE: He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. (Proverbs 13:3)

    3 Keypoints From: The Ancient Landmarks

  • The moment a fellow begins to explain away some of the basic principles of Christianity in the Bible, that fellow is already on the wrong path. (2 Corinthians 6:14)
  • Without the 'old school' landmarks, you cannot remain strong in the faith. (Hebrews 13:8)
  • Denying one's self for the sake of the gospel shows a believer's level of commitment, and God rewards commitment (Hebrews 11:6).

  • “Some people may laugh at you or call you a religious fanatic for keeping the ancient landmarks (1 Corinthians 2:14), but you must stand firm in your commitment to God and not compromise on God's principles. The whole world will soon come to the brightness of your rising in Christ.”

    Memorise: Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. (Proverbs 22:28)

    3 Keypoints From: Discover His Purpose

  • It is good to be ambitious but any ambition that negates the will of God will only cause more trouble than good. (Isaiah 45:9)
  • You are God's workmanship (Ephesians 2:10). Don't try to go in a different direction from the will of God if you don't want to go astray.
  • Find God's purpose for your life and walk in it. If a product does not understand its purpose, it can get a hint by staying close to its manufacturer.

  • “God is your creator; spend quality time with Him daily. As you do this, He will begin to give you specific instructions and use you for certain tasks. These instructions will tell you clearly what His purpose for your life is.”

    Memorise: For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, the thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11)

    2 Keypoints From: Is Rapture Real?

  • A key characteristic of the major prophecies in the Bible is that they sounded unbelievable when they were spoken.
  • If the Bible has been so accurate, it is wise to believe that it is absolutely right about rapture. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

  • “There will be a lot of regrets from people who heard about the rapture, but who lived their lives without bothering to prepare for it by giving their lives to Jesus Christ and living holy. Unfortunately for them, it will be too late because the rapture will only happen once.

    Memorise: For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, (Matthew 24:38)
