Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of this series. Today, I will give my final point on How to flow in the Supernaturals and is
INCREASE IN YOUR SPIRITUAL STATURE
Spiritual stature is a position of favour we assume before God because we are subject to His government and processes He is leading us through so as to represent Him well on earth. Selah!
Darkness will linger in a territory/family as long as a man of sufficient spiritual stature has not emerged. When you see that darkness has lingered for too long a time, it is indicative of the fact that no man of sufficient stature has come on the scene. An intercessor has been praying that demonic cloud over his town will clear for TWO YEARS. The demonic presence vamoosed on the very night he didn't pray. Upon inquiry from God, God told him
'My son Lester Sumral slept in your town. His train broke down nearby and he had to sleep in your town. His presence mustered a mammoth number of angelic creatures that every darkness was diffused by the superfluous presence that his presence in your city commands'. Hmm!
Spiritual Stature talks about your alignment to the leadings, principles, rulership, dominion and the value system of the Kingdom of God.
It is a function of your cooperation with the Spirit of God who is the administrator of the Will of God in the Earth as He conforms you to the image of Christ.
The present state of darkness in this country is reflective of the present stature of Christians and Christianity in Nigeria.
God I pray, raise men of stature from among us. That can look into things that are sealed, that can banish the operations of the sons of the bondwoman in our lands.
The kingdom advances through Power and Authority and these are functions of YOUR SPIRITUAL STATURE. Spiritual stature is an awesome thing. It determines practically everything in God's Kingdom. Some of them are:
A. The meal you are fed with; milk, bread, meat, strong meat, bones, honey. It is according to what you can take/digest per time, your present spiritual level.
B. Your level of Power and Authority. Listen, our potentials are the same but experientially, We are seriously different. The name of Jesus is not equally powerful in the mouth of every believer. To some, this name is a punctuation mark in spiritual spiritual dialogue while to others, the name releases avalanche of power that forces everything to bow down and submit to their beckon. Hmm!
C. Your sitting position in Christ. Don't deceive yourself, we are NOT all sitted in the same place- Eph. 2:6 says 'And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus'. With your present level of spirituality, do you think you and Enoch can be next door neighbors? The Koinonia that Enoch had with Zoe is still uncommon in our days. Little wonder, his son is still the World Oldest man. Do you think it happened by mistake? Do you think you and Paul will sit down to interact on the same spiritual level? Hmm, those guys have advanced thousands of light years in God that many people can only dream of. There are ranks and hierarchies up there. According to Rick Joyner, people of the same spiritual stature dwell in the same locality. I hope you know that there are cities and places up there?).
D. The number and ranks of Heavenly beings attached to you. There are some people that their stature warrants them to receive ministrations from Heavenly beings like Archangels, the twenty four Elders, Four Living Creatures, Cherubim, Seraphim, Saints, etc while some others receive ministrations from Low Ranking Angels.
E. Your possibilities in the supernaturals. Listen, desire and willingness are not the only determining factor of what you can do. Your possibilities are determined by your stature. I remember as a little boy, my Dad had a Motor Cycle that he used to ride. One day, he didn't go out with his bike. So, I went there to play with with it and somehow, I got it off its stand and began pushing it around and it fell. Do you know that myself and my younger sister tried fruitlessly to raise it up but, we couldn't. We barely made it halfway. So, I supported it with a chair. I went to eat, did some exercises all in the bid to have power to lift up the bike. Sardonic to say, from morning till evening, no result. My Dad came back and met his bike on the floor. I was surprised at the way he just yanked it up. You can guess the kind of treatment I received from him after the whole thing. Our spiritual stature determine our possibilities.
F. Your MEASURE.
Measure determine the possibilities in present spiritual level and the level of your power and authority. Ezekiel 47 describes the different Measure in the flow of the Rivers of Living Water. God is the source of AUTHORITY and because of this, He measure unto every man according to the commitment of such to God and His Kingdom. There are boundaries both in the natural and spiritual attached to each person based on stature. Even Jesus' boundary of influence increased. First, His boundary was THE LOST SHEEP IN ISRAEL. Later, it became the whole world. There are hierarchies, thrones, dominion, body celestial and body terrestrial up there. That you don't believe it doesn't change anything. These are the reasons we must seek daily to increase in spiritual stature.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS VERY SCRIPTURAL. I have heard some people say 'there is nothing like it'. A believer doesn't need to grow, grow into what?, etc'. Listen, there is a school called THE SCHOOL OF GOD. I don't have time to fully explain it here. But know this, YOUR MATRICULATION INTO THAT SCHOOL IS WHEN YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST. Many have thought and taught that it is all over when you 'MAKE HEAVEN' as we usually call it. Listen, I am saying it for the umpteenth time HEAVEN IS NOT THE GOAL OF CHRISTIANITY. Adam didn't lose Heaven, he lost planet Earth to the Devil. Except for the misinterpreted places, THERE IS NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE THAT PERMANENCE IS ATTACHED TO BELIEVERS' STAY IN HEA. Jesus didn't die so that you and I can go to Heaven. Am I saying if you die, you will not go to Heaven? No, you will. By the way, you don't have to die before before you go to Heaven. The coming of Jesus didn't cancel the ASSIGNMENT OF ADAM. Jesus came to restore what Adam lost in the Garden plus some other things. Apart from the Kingdom's goals, the ultimate goal is in Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF THE SON, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
These are the end goals of Christianity. The shocking thing that I discovered by revelation last year is this: THAT YOU DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN DOESN'T MEAN THE MISSION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. There are still classes to attend up there. The River of Life still proceeds from the Throne of God and the Lamb, the Tree of Life still bear twelve manner of fruits every month. Becoming Christ is an eternal goal.
As I round off, the more you cooperate with the Holy Spirit, the more spiritually mature you are which automatically translate to SPIRITUAL STATURE. I like you to study the SEVEN FOLD REWARD OF AN OVERCOMER IN REVELATIONS CHAPTER 2-3. I humbly submit to you that it is about stature. The amazing thing is this, GOD IS NOT THE ONE THAT DETERMINES SPIRITUAL MATURITY, THE BELIEVER DOES. Everybody is being giving opportunity to grow, what you do with it determines the end product. I rest my case here till tomorrow.
