ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): JOEL 2:1-7
MESSAGE TOPIC: THE FORCES OF REVIVAL (3) – A STRONG PEOPLE
By: Dr Paul Enenche
MESSAGE OBJECTIVE(S): Understanding the strength requirement of God’s end time fire force
God is raising an end time fire force to execute and implement His end time agenda
God is raising a people who are weariless and tireless; a people of spiritual toughness, hardness, vigour, energy and resilience
In the end time army and the force God is raising, there is no room for people who can be easily tired out by the enemy
God is raising a people who can stand strong in the face of territorial powers
If you are looking for recruitment into this end time force, weakness is not an option! Weariness is a disqualification!
WHAT IS THE SECRET OF STRENGTH?
1. The Word of God (1 John 2:14; Luke 4:4; Matt. 4:4)
The Light of God’s Word in your system determines the strength of your spirituality
Continuously stuff your spirit with Word
2. The Joy of the Lord (Neh. 8:10b; Hab. 3:17-19; Phil. 4:4)
Joy is a transmitter of strength and depression is a depleter of strength
Don’t wait to be happy, make happiness happen.
3. Uprightness of life (Prov. 10:29; 31:3-4)
Every form of iniquity is a strength reducer
Iniquity reduces strength
If you want strength, force, energy and vigour run away from unrighteousness
4. The wisdom of God (Job 9:4; 12:13, 16; Prov. 24:5; Isa. 33:6)
Wisdom means action based on the Voice, Word, Purpose and Ways of God
When you walk in wisdom, you walk in strength, and if any lack wisdom, they can ask from God (Jam. 1:5)
5. Waiting on the Lord (Isa. 40:31; 1 Chron. 16:11)
Anything that looks like a stress on the flesh, especially spiritual exercise, is a gain on the spirit.
6. The Presence of God (1 Chron. 29:12; 16:27)
7. Appearance in His Sanctuary in Zion (Ps. 84:7; 96:6)
8. The knowledge of God (Dan. 11:32b; Isa. 33:6; Phil. 3:10)
The knowledge of God imparts strength
9. Trust and faith in God (Isa. 26:4; 30:7; Ps. 46:10; Isa. 30:15; Heb. 11:11)
If you trust in the Lord, you cannot lack strength
Sitting still is proof of trust in God (Ps. 46:10)
Lack of confidence imparts weakness
Light sponsors faith and faith imparts strength
10. A fighting spirit (Isa. 28:5-6; Ps. 89:19-21)
WHY IS STRENGTH NECESSARY?
1. To walk in your God-ordained realm of Glory (Prov. 20:29)
2. To deal effectively with the adversary and to prevail in the season of adversity (Prov. 24:10)
3. To walk in the realm of Kingdom exploits (Dan. 11:32b)
4. To possess the capacity to turn away for nothing (Prov. 30:30)
5. To possess the capacity to engage the enemy in order to possess your possessions and take territories (Josh. 14:10-14)
6. To possess the capacity to scale heights in life and in destiny (Hab. 3:19)
7. To qualify for enlistment in the end time army (Joel 2:2,5)
