TOPIC: Refuse To Be Passive (TREM Devotional 25 September 2021)
“And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:19 KJV
Paul had been imprisoned; the religious leaders wanted to silence his voice. So, Paul requested the Church at Ephesus not to cease from praying for him so that utterance may be given to him to be able to open his mouth boldly and make known the mystery of the gospel.
As a believer, we must understand that we have been called to disrupt systems. We are not called to try to patch things up so that there won’t be problem. There is no way the system of this world can be disrupted if we choose to remain passive because “the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force (Matthew 11:12 NKJV). It is ‘Biazo’- meaning by force. Any believer who desires to take his portion cannot afford to remain passive. We need to know that the enemy will not relinquish it just because we asked.
The devil knows he is defeated but he is looking for those who will not know this truth. That is why the place of worship you attend is very important. You cannot afford to keep moving from one church to another because, when you are done with that, the problem will continue. You need to get settled in a place where you will get relevant knowledge that you need to fulfill purpose and to take your world by storm.
The Bible declares that through knowledge the righteous shall be delivered. You need to belong to a church where scripture is not being distorted, where you will be told who you really are; a church where the Man of God is not pointing people to himself but pointing the congregation towards God. God is all you need in this day and hour. The enemy is out of his closet but he has failed! I declare that you will not be deceived and you will not be short changed. Every satanic conspiracy or gang-up against you will not happen.
