Do you know the scripture talks about a Here-and-There Ministry which is akin to people losing focus on what really matters? This can be found in 1 Kings 20:39-40 (KJV).
Ordinarily, it’s a big deal to get a 100 or 200 per cent raise in salary or earnings. Many a Christian testify about such an increase in Churches. However, what God’s children are entitled to is 1000 per cent increment. Deut. 1:11 contains this deep secret.
These are some of the truths that were exposed by Pastor Joseph Aborowa as he ministered in the just-concluded Upgrade conference of Highlandchurch. He started off by stressing that the machine must be right before it can be upgraded. This means that Christians must be on course before God can take them upwards.
During the conference, which is actually the Days of Grace meeting of the Church for the second quarter, the Holy Ghost had his way and took control of virtually everyone in the auditorium.
Sensing the change in atmosphere occasioned by the outpouring of the Spirit, the Senior Pastor in the last day of the five-day meeting led worshippers to see visions and prophesy into their future, using Joel 2:28 as basis.
Pastor Joseph also disclosed that the Upgrade which God promised will happen during the Days of Grace is in the mouth of Highlanders, telling them that they won’t see it if they don’t say it.
Job 22:29 is often quoted by many Christians, but they may not know that the key is actually in the second phrase of the verse: “then shalt thou say…” Worshippers were also taught to engage the devil with the mouth, not the mind where he is a master manipulator.
Meanwhile, something strange happened in the final moments of the Days of Grace conference. Worshippers were so carried away by the Spirit that the service could not end in record time. The congregation kept shouting, singing and blasting in new tongues that it took a while before the Pastor could quiet them for the benediction.
It was evident that the packed congregation’s communion with the Spirit of the Lord was intense. They took time to fill the clouds which are bound to empty themselves with showers of blessings as contained in Ecclesiastes 11:3.
