As it is in Heaven
Here are more insights for you to digest...
The new sound that the Lord is releasing is the sound of as it is inheaven.. cos it's all about His glory finding expression upon the earth. He did that with the very person of who Christ is and He wants to do it through us too (Romans 8:29). Our very person must become an expression of His glory and who He is. Jesus taught us to pray "Let Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" It's about heaven on earth, heaven finding it's expression on earth... and as God builds us as worshippers and embues us with His very nature, substance, love and character, we'll take the worship wars into the marketplace. There will be worshipping businessmen, worshipping politicians, worshipping scientists who will release a revelation of the glory of God in their fields that demands more worship to be given to Him who is worthy! These are the holy revolutionists that will span accross all ages. From the young to the old. No age or gender distinction. It's kingdom reality! The earth has yet to see Joel Chapter 2 being released into fullness upon the face of the earth! We are the altars, the gates of heaven through whom the very heart of God finds expression. And we'll see God in the music industry, God in the medical industry and as these places are filled with the very expression of heaven, we're gonna see multitudes of souls coming into the Kingdom! Hallelujah!
Another thing that God has been teaching me recently is on His nature that He is a Jealous God. How many times have we seen that aspect as God being so angry at our sins especially when our hearts turn away from Him to pursue other things? How many of us see the idea of a vengeful God who is just ready to strike us in judgment for our sins? Most of us would think that way... but let's see His perspective. Thugh it's true that He's jealous when we turn away from Him and turn to idols, how many of us see His jealous love? His love that will not let go.. A love so radical that you can't find anything like it on the face of the earth.. a love that will seek us out even if we have defiled ourselves (go and read the book of Hosea).. It's a Jealous love that is for us! It is a jealousy that is committed to seeing us reaching the fullness of our destiny. It is a jealous love that burns to see the destruction of our enemies- those strongholds that beset us and keep us away from Him! It is a jealous Love that does all it takes- even going from heaven to earth to hell and back- just to redeem a race of sinners. Wow! I'm glad God is a Jealous God! (Maybe we should sing more about it in our worship songs... our woship is so watered down nowadays...)
It's gonna be this jealous love that recognises what is so precious in something so filthy and takes it and brings out what is of value in it and then releases it into the world to become holy revolutionists, the very expression of God on earth! God was teaching me truths about receiving these holy revolutionists, these worshippers. Their expressions of worship are gonna be so radical and untamed by human religion that is reflective of the untamable and radical God they serve! Some churches may not even receive them but may persecute or suppress them. Let me tell you something. If a church does not receive these worshippers, the new sound of worship will bypass them, along with the blessings of a holy revolution that would accompany it. Cos Jesus said if you receive a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, you get a righteous man's reward. If you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet, you get a prophet's reward. If you receive a holy revolutionist in the name of a holy revolutionist, you get a holy revolutionist's reward... The only way to see the new form of worship is to embrace it's vessels. The only way to taste the new wine is to embrace the new wineskin. You can't have the present without accepting the package it comes in. This radical generation might offend the old... There is a new sound, a new cry of worship coming from the young people... If adults don't receive the young people, don't embrace their cry, despise them and not honour them, then the new sound will pass them by. If by political manipulations they try to hijack this new move of God, they won't be part of it! But if we receive this generation of radical worshippers, we receive the radical worship anointing that they come with! God is drawing a line in the sand! Not everyone may follow! Only those who are willing to embrace the vessels that carry the new move of God! Note that this is, however, no excuse for young worship revolutionists to be arrogant. It's only by God's grace, choice and sovereign will that we're part of this!
God has been teaching me certain things lately. He's given me a master key that would see the rise of every ministry in every church. The key is honour. If i'm gonna see the leaders under me rise up, i will have to honour them. I will not take them for granted but will recognise the grace and call of God upon their lives. This is like prophesying to them with the way i conduct myself before them. Even if they fail, i will still choose to honour them and let them know i believe in them because doing so would call out to that dream/spark/vision in them that would propel them to strive for excellence. The way i act towards them in honouring them is a reflection of their future calling out to them! "Pick yourself up!" "There's something bigger and greater that awaits!" And as i honour them, they will rise up! That's the very heart of fatherhood- seeing and believing that visions will be raised up in the person of a person even before it truly happens. Same goes for music ministry. Same goes for dance ministry. Same goes for people. Everyone wants to hear the words "i believe in you..." It's that voice of assurance. Honouring them will cause them to rise up. It will inject a sense of vision and calling unto them that would propel them forward! Just as how Abraham received a vision, a word of instruction and moved forward towards where God was calling him... And as we honour them, we receive them and everything they stand for, their future, the visions and dreams that they carry, the prophetic word invested in them that has not yet come to be. And as we sow into their lives, we are sowing into that vision and calling and are receiving them likewise. As we receive them, we are agreeing with them, adding our faith to them and thus paving the way for them to be realised!
God bless! :)
