(A.) OBEDIENCE
_Deuteronomy 28_
- We are disobedient in ways such as in our thoughts. We dictate that it must go our way even when the Word of God says otherwise - e g. Acts 2 : 38. Intercessors and prayer warriors are like this and are not aware.
- Disobedience will cause you to fall out of grace and open you up to demonic attacks and afflictions.
- Obedience may look hard and tough but doing it will cost you absolute Joy and great Success.
- Disobedience may look simpler and easier but will cause you years of sorrow, Struggle, Stress and closed heavens and you will never get breakthroughs!
- Your prayers and services will often bounce back to you, because of the great contamination of your disobedience. - There is great power in obedience that will open up the gates for you. It opens even in the Heavens - your breakthroughs is guaranteed!
(B.) KNOWLEDGE
Hosea 4 : 6
- We die of the knowledge we do not have. - You cannot be successful in Warfare without comprehensive knowledge of the Word of God which is made available to you.
- Knowledge is a gateway to open your mind. To make your mind mature and new giving you great knowledge of God so that your able to do His work.
- Ignorance increases, strengthens the forces of darkness to rule and dominate your life.
- Satan has no power to control your destiny or future etc....unless you allow him.
Knowledge is a powerful gift that you need so as to understand spiritual warfare!
(C.) VISION
_Acts 26 : 19_
- People without vision perish. You must have a vision so as to get a plan.
- As a believer, develop your mind, tune it to divine frequency and get connected to the Lord and beyond, so that God can empower you to handle your Responsibilities.
(D.) FORGIVENESS
_Mathew 6 : 18_
- You must be ready to forgive all those who have often offended you. - It must come from deep inside you and it must flow easily.
- A man or woman of warfare must not carry any grudges, bitterness or recentment because what your delivering will turn back to you.
- Unforgiveness opens your heart for satan’s destruction. As you Forgive you spit out the bitter pill of hatred and you accommodate the Love of God!
- Forgive yourself also no matter how much you want to blame yourself.
- Everything God allows is for our goodness but above all it is for His Glory!!
(E.) PERSISTENCE
Romans 2 : 7
- The Kingdom of God advances forcefully and only men / women of God with persistence will succeed. - You Cannot succeed unless you keep claiming the Word of God persistently.
- You need to persist, persue, overtake and recover all that has been stolen from you.
- There is nothing impossible with God, no situation is beyond God’s control.
(F.) SOWING AND GIVING
_2nd Corinthians 9:6- 11_
- You must understand that the spirit of poverty cannot be defeated by prayer & fasting but by being a giver.
- Giving must be generous. It should not be because you have excess. e.g:...story of Elijah and the widow and her son)
- God always requires you to give Him first even if the needs are great. This Sacrifice and obedience opens the doors of plenty. _2nd Corinthians 8:1-12_
(G.) PRAISE AND WORSHIP
Psalms 100 : 4
- Praise has nothing to do with your feelings good or bad.
- Praise activates your spirit to get connected to God. It frustrates and paralyses the forces of the enemy totally.
- Angels are always around all those who praise God, because that is their job to praise God.
- It is Only in Praise that you encounter the below:.. (1.) Victory - it is close to you and is guaranteed. (2.) You receive healing (3.) You receive peace (4.) It brings relaxation and rest
- Learn to Praise God in the Beauty of His Holiness and you will expect showers of blessings and refreshing.
- God releases His holiness to us, His beauty and victory to us when we praise Him!
Conclusion Obedience to God one pays a very high price but the rewards are divine!
