STAY IN YOUR LANE

STAY ON YOUR LANE 

It will always be a man's season if he stays on His LANE. Faithfulness to your God given assignment keeps you relevant in all generations. 

When Pastor Kenneth Hagin was alive, he reigned and remain relevant  at all times as long as he emphasized the Message of Faith; Pastor Lester Sumrall was also reigning and relevant at the same time with the Message of Christ The Saviour & Deliverer. 

At the same period,   Pastor Oral Roberts was relevant and reigning  with the Message of ' The God of All Possibilities,  Pastor Derek Prince was popular, relevant and also reigning same time as he  emphasized ' Building according to Christ Pattern and Deliverance from the powers of darkness  Evangelist Billy Graham was well - known, relevant and  reigning at the same time with sermons of ' Christ Can Save Today!

 The "Season" of one preacher did not end and 'Finished' before the supposed ' Season' of another Man of God started. Lester Sumrall did not stop 'Shinning' before Kenneth Hagin to start 'Shinning'.  All these Servants of Christ prevailed and brought nations to the Kingdom of God by focusing on their God's given gifts and assignment.

√ Each Minister was called by God

√ Each Minister was given a specific distinct divine revelation for the Body of Christ, 

√ Each Minister stayed in their Lane of Calling and remained relevant all through their lifetime.

They learnt to move with the Holy Spirit and did not build ministries around themselves. They pointed men to Christ and did not presented themselves as the "Doer of the Miracle" : Even some from among your very own ranks will rise up, twisting the truth to seduce people into following them instead of Jesus.

Acts 20:30 TPT

PAUL & APOLLOS , SERVANTS OF CHRIST

"For you are living your lives dominated by the mind-set of the flesh. 

Ask yourselves: Is there jealousy among you? Do you compare yourselves with others? Do you quarrel like children and end up taking sides? If so, this proves that you are living your lives centered on yourselves, dominated by the mind-set of the flesh, and behaving like unbelievers. 

For when you divide yourselves up in groups—a “Paul group” and an “Apollos group” —you’re acting like people without the Spirit’s influence. Who is Apollos, really? Or who is Paul? 

Aren’t we both just servants through whom you believed our message? Aren’t each of us doing the ministry the Lord has assigned to us? I planted the church, and Apollos came and cared for it, but it was God who caused it to grow. 

This means the one who plants is not anybody special, nor the one who waters, for God is the one who brings the supernatural growth. Now, the one who plants and the one who waters are equally important and on the same team, but each will be rewarded for his own work. 

We are coworkers with God and you are God’s cultivated garden, the house he is building. 

God has given me unique gifts as a skilled master builder who lays a good foundation. Afterward another craftsman comes and builds on it. 

So builders beware! Let every builder do his work carefully, according to God’s standards. For no one is empowered to lay an alternative foundation other than the good foundation that exists, which is Jesus Christ!

1 Corinthians 3:3‭-‬11 TPT

Apostle Paul Said, l have planted, Apiilos has watered. We had a specific assignment and the Kingdom of God was enriched and made complete because each Minister ( Paul & Apollos) was faithful in their given divine assignment. They stayed at the Lane assigned them by God. 

If Apostle Apollos has left the 'Watering ministry' ( Nurturing the Saints to maturity) to start a ministry similar to Paul's because  Apostle Paul assigned to  the Planting Ministry' has more people answering Altar call and getting healed of various diseases. 

Apollos will be working indeed but he has neglected his calling and assignment and  the Church of Jesus Christ will be filled with "spiritual babies" because the Minister called into the ministry of nurturing the  Saints to maturity has left his ministry for Crusades. 

√ You can have a Believers meeting that is as populated as a Crusade for sinners.  It's the same Spirit that gathers Men to Christ!

THE LORD GAVE GIFTS TO MEN

"And he has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers. 

And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ. 

These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ. 

And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies.

 But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our love as we express the truth. All our direction and ministries will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into him, the anointed Head of his body, the church.

Ephesians 4:11‭-‬15 TPT

Are all Teachers? NO

Are all Apostles?  NO

Are all Prophets?  NO

Are all Evangelists? NO

Are all Pastors?  NO

√ BUT:  ALL are ordained, anointed and expected to win sinners to the Kingdom: 

"And he said to them, “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the gospel to the entire human race! Whoever believes the good news and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the good news will be condemned.  ( Mark 16)

√ BUT:   ALL are ordained anointed and expected to administer Deliverance:

" And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of my name. 

√  BUT:  ALL are ordained, anointed and expected in experience the supernatural: 

"They will speak in tongues. They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. 

√ BUT:  ALL is ordained, anointed and expected to administer Healings:

"And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”

Mark 16:16‭-‬18 TPT.

THE SUPERNATURAL IS REAL SEE!

SIGNS & WONDERS

"The apostles performed many signs, wonders, and miracles among the people. And the believers were wonderfully united as they met regularly in the temple courts in the area known as Solomon’s Porch.

DIVINE PROTECTION

  No one dared harm them, for everyone held them in high regard. 

MULTITUDES SAVED

Continually more and more people believed in the Lord and were added to their number—great crowds of both men and women.

THE SICK HEALED EFFORTLESSLY

 In fact, when people knew Peter was going to walk by, they carried the sick out to the streets and laid them down on cots and mats, knowing the incredible power emanating from him would overshadow them and heal them. 

EVERYONE WAS DELIVERED & HEALED

Great numbers of people swarmed into Jerusalem from the nearby villages. They brought with them the sick and those troubled by demons—and everyone was healed!

Acts 5:12‭-‬16 TPT

NOT JUST THE APOSTLES, THE DEACONS PERFORMRD SIGNS IN JESUS CHRIST NAME

√ SOUL WINNING BY ALL BELIEVERS

Although the believers were scattered by persecution, they preached the wonderful news of the word of God wherever they went. 

√ DEACON PHILIP PERFORMED SIGNS & WONDERS

Philip traveled to a Samaritan city and preached to them the wonderful news of the Anointed One. The crowds were eager to receive Philip’s message and were persuaded by the many miracles and wonders he performed. 

√HEALINGS & DELIVERANCES BY DEACONS

Many demon-possessed people were set free and delivered as evil spirits came out of them with loud screams and shrieks, and many who were lame and paralyzed were also healed. This resulted in an uncontainable joy filling the city!

Acts 8:4‭-‬8 TPT

Jesus Christ, The LORD is benevolent. He has given you His Name to use to perform and do all the great miracles He did why He was on the Earth. 

YOU CAN DO IT.

PLEASE STAY ON YOUR LANE.
