AFTER HUSTING THE ALMIGHTY WHAT NEX?

Hosting the Almighty this year was no doubt a huge success. Various anointed men of God ministered prophetically under the unction of the Holy Spirit. Prophetic blessings were released and there was salvation, healing and deliverance. Personally I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit for the first time after many years. Halleluyah! Now January is gone and February is counting. After hosting the Almighty what next? Let's consider this scenario and see how it relates to us. You participate in a church programme all through the days and receive powerful ministrations with deep conviction in your spirit, then long after the programme you wait and wait, yet no manifestation until the memory of that programme fades out completely, then you start all over again, looking forward to the next up-coming one. Well, in case this is not your experience note that this is how it has been with many for years. For some it has become business as usual, the vicious circle continues while a few others are catching their flight to the next level. If your experience is like this, something most be wrong somewhere. Psalm 11:33 says, if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do, and it stopped there. But someone said, the righteous can do something and I totally agree with that. But the question is, what can I do? How do I consolidate the benefits of hosting the almighty and other programmes? Before I take this discussion further, I want you to note that the word of God is double edged. As I write this article, I also stand at the receiving end. “Hosting the Almighty” may have ended, but the benefits of the programme are still accessible, they can still manifest if activated. Yea, very possible! Here Are Few Suggestions 1) Exercise Faith: The bible says, without faith it is impossible to please God, and it can be deduced that without faith also it is impossible to receive anything from God. Faith is the authentic currency note with which you exchange blessings from God, so it is absolutely necessary that you learn to exercise faith over every circumstance. Even when they are suggesting the “negative” do not give up, consolidate your faith and your miracle will break forth like a dream. 2. Engage the Word: During the programme, the man of God said something about your situation that hit your mind so strong, your faith was steered up and you went ahead to write it down in your jotter. Now you will go back to that jotter, pick some relevant scriptures and begin to declare them prophetically over your situation. As you pray, release those scriptures violently into the spirit realm. Even if it does not make sense to you, continue because God is not sense, He is spirit. He uses the intangible to produce things that you can see in the physical. Heb. 11:3 says, He framed the entire world through His word. If you are born again that same power is in you, activate it and begin to recreate the circumstances around your life (your marriage, your family, your business, your career, your finances, your health, your relationships and so on.) With God's word in your mouth you can reshape your entire world. Speak it over your life continuously and then see what will happen before the end of this year. 3) You Need to Fight: This year, if you must break out of that circle and move to the next level, you will need a fighting spirit. Most times God says I have blessed you, but you are not seeing the manifestation. While others are testifying, your own blessings, promotions and breakthroughs are hanging somewhere, and you think it is the will of God? NO! The will of God is that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers…. Remember, during the programme the man of God would always say,“By this time tomorrow…” believe you me, that thing he said had already happened in the spirit realm but for you to see it sometimes, you need to be a fighter. Switch into a higher level of hot prayer frequency. The book of James 4:16 says and I paraphrase, the consistent fervent prayer of a righteous man has tremendous power to produce amazing results. In other words, if you are in right standing with God and your prayer is red-hot and consistent, you will break limits and set a new record for your family history. If you can speak in tongues, blessed are you. I like to say again that the benefits of hosting the almighty are still accessible. They are not for few people but for all, including you. If you can exercise faith and engage the word of God, then fight tirelessly in the place of prayer and if you are lead, sow a ‘dangerous’ seed and see if things will not change for you positively. …Sam Akhigbe
