ARCI 9 Feb 2020
Year of Breakthrough & Divine Magnification
What we don’t understand we cannot receive
Let’s not perish for lack of knowledge
Apostle has been trying to change our mindsets
-
Increase our understanding
-
To have a kingdom mentality
-
To increase the level of our faith to appropriate our divine inheritance in Christ.
-
Because … as a man thinketh so is he. ..Proverbs 23:7
-
… faith comes by hearing & the hearing the Word of God …Romans 10:17
Let’s declare…
-
God is bigger than my biggest problem,
-
Larger than my greatest enemy
-
Stronger than my greatest challenge
& at the Name of Jesus,
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord…Philippians 2:10
-
Put a name to every problem, challenge Or enemy
-
And demand that it bow to the greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.
Under the anointing of…
>> I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me
>> being that nothing is impossible for my God…
Declare
-
I am an answer to a question,
-
… A solution to a problem
-
… An answer to a prayer
I Am…
-
A David to the Goliath of my generation
-
A Caleb & Joshua to the mediocrity of my generation
-
I operate in my divine level in Christ
- …as salt & light to the world around me
- That others may taste and see that the Lord is good…
- …in me & through me for His Kingdom & for His Glory.
Amen

>> Thank God for Apostle & Prophet

For the grace, & strength to stamp International into Apostolic Revival Church – International
-
It is not easy thinking and following up to delivering a new baby – ARCI – Zambia
-
It comes with a lot of responsibilities
-
But we run towards, not away from challenges
>> Thank God that ARCI has broken through the International barrier & has been magnified
-
>> Territory has been expanded
-
As ARCI breaks through and magnifies the Word of God in peoples lives

Leading by example the theme of the year of
-
>> Year of Divine Breakthrough & Magnification
-
…you looked and saw, you walked by faith & it has manifested
-
>> Sacrifice of praise to the Lord Jesus
-
>> Acknowledge His faithful servants
We are encouraged because we know blessings & anointing flow from the top down
Psalm 133:1-2 (NKJV)
-
A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!
-
It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments.
>> It is for us to be in harmony and working in love & unity with what God is doing in ARCI through His anointed & faithful servants

Today
?? While you were away…
Pastor Morris challenged us with the story of Ruth
-
We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover
-
>> despising a situation or a person from what we see only
-
>> but indeed get a revelation of the situation or we may miss our day of visitation
Even if it is a problem ,
-
…As it may be a stepping stone to our next level or breakthrough
-
… See things with our hearts & with discernment, not our eyes
-
… by faith and not by sight
-
Seek The Way to the Truth of Life & life in abundance in Christ in that situation
-
>> Injecting Christ / His Word into every situation that we encounter
-
…as Ruth did and found resurrection power that got into her life to the point that the Author of life Himself, Jesus came out / manifested from her bloodline
Indeed with Ruth or my situation
-
…. for His Name’s sake & His glory
-
>> God may use the weak & foolish things of this world to confound the strong and the wise…1 Corinthians 1:27
-
… get a revelation of the situation or I may miss my day of visitation
-
Seek The Way to the Truth of Life & life in abundance in Christ in that situation
>> Ruth had to have a revelation of the anointing (blessing) Naomi carried
>> – a poor widow that lost everything
-
Not many of us would have that grace unless by the spirit of God…
-
>> Someone comes and ask you to borrow 50 – 100 – 500K
-
You will analyse and assess the possibility of payback
Unless by faith and the spirit of God
>> Ruth may have encountered
-
… a Peter like scenario in Matthew 16:17
-
….Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but the Father in heaven…Matthew 16:17
-
For greater is He that is in me ( God in me) than he that is in the world..1 John 4:4
-
>> …not only greater than the enemy,
-
… but also there is a greater thing in me that has not manifested yet.
- >> my seed of greatness, that part of God in me…
>>… ??>> or what God made me to be is greater than what you are seeing currently
-
Greater is He that is still in me than has manifested in the world…
-
Why Gideon was called mighty man of valor…
-
… though the physical circumstances didn’t look like it
-
Creation eagerly awaits the manifestation / revelation of the sons of God…Romans 8:19
A seed has all it requires to be great
-
Just needs the right environment
-
It is not always pleasant
-
>#> I shall not fear operating in my divine potential
-
I am activating the seed of greatness in me
Revelation comes by the Spirit of Truth
-
And He shall lead us into all Truth…John 16:13
-
>> For Ruth to even prophesy, it must have been the Spirit of God >> Ruth 1:16
-
She had to have a revelation of some kind like… for Peter..
-
… “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
-
So indeed as Hebrews 13:2 urges
-
>> don’t neglect to show hospitality to strangers ( or strange situations)
-
>>…. but we should discern as we may be entertaining angels (the key to our breakthrough) without knowing it
>> So like Ruth & Naomi, the man at the pool of Bethesda or Abraham and the 3 visitors that were passing by his tent, Widow of Zarephath
-
May we be able to perceive the moving of the Lord / stirring of the waters in 2020
-
>> from every situation we encounter so that we do not miss our miracle
-
For God Almighty can use or turn any & all situations for my good, so long as I love Him and I am called / aligned / pursuing His purposes…Romans 8:28
-
Believe that the plans of God for me are always good and not for bad, to give me a future and a hope…Jeremiah 29:11
-
May we have the grace & wisdom, strength & courage
-
>> not to ignore and indeed pursue to fulfill divine prophetic instructions
-
Especially when Apostle, Prophet or Pastor teaches us some things…
-
E.g. God is more interested in changing me than in changing my situation
-
… we may have the unfortunate tendency to ignore or miss all together
-
But getting that revelation alone changes how & what we pray for
- …so that the changed me can handle / contain the changed situation for me
- … or …I can handle or contain the blessing that the Lord will pour out on me
- >> for the blessings of the Lord enriches and adds no sorrow with it …Proverbs 10:22
-
I can receive only what I can perceive
-
>> I can only receive from what I honor …Matthew 10:41
-
Revelation is caught, not taught
# Prayer
-
Spirit of discernment
-
That can catch revelation
-
+ Spirit of wisdom, strength & courage
-
… the how, the ability and the persistence
-
To walk / work out everything revelation into manifestation
-
For the kingdom of God, for the glory of God
-
Indeed
-
.. may we live to see & experience the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living
-
Amen!
