⭕️Anyone can predict their future by their level of preparation.

⭕️Whatever you do throughout this month (January 2024) will determine what will happen to you throughout 2024.

Luke 14:28, 2 Chronicles 27:6

⭕️Not preparing is as good as preparing to fail in life and destiny.

⭕️You can choose to prepare or not to prepare.

⭕️The choice between being a ruler and being a slave is yours.

⭕️When people begin to see your great light, greater glory, they will give thanks to God.

⭕️The place of our inheritance is on the mountain top.

⭕️It is a sin before God to live an average life here on earth.

⭕️God sent us here on the earth to be His ambassadors.

⭕️God has no place for mediocrity.

⭕️God expects us to show forth His excellence.

⭕️Anything less than excellence is not of God.

⭕️Make a decision to walk with God and to run away from sin.

⭕️Serve God willingly, diligently and without being dragged to do so because that is where you will be blessed from.

⭕️Your life must be dynamic.

⭕️God does not expect you to be at the same spot.

⭕️Map out a clear vision for your life and run with it.

⭕️As mountainites, we have a clear vision of Great Light, Greater Glory for 2024.

Why is preparation important?

1.It strengthens the belief that success is not only possible but also probable.

2.It eliminates distractions and helps you to focus on God.

3.It reduces anxiety in your life

⭕️Nobody has ever become great in this life overnight. Greatness must be prepared for.

⭕️What you do not prepare for can never prepare for you.

⭕️Begin to paint pictures of Great Light, Greater Glory in your life

⭕️Any man that wants to do great things for God must not only live for this moment, but for the future.

Forces that will influence your destiny as you prepare

1.The force of spirituality

⭕️Your spiritual bearing determines your destiny.

⭕️Until you get it right spiritually, you can never get it right in destiny.

⭕️Your spiritual bearing will determine the intensity of your great light and the intensity of the greater glory that will shine.

⭕️The best place to prepare and fight for your destiny is in the spirit realm because the spiritual controls the physical.

⭕️Anything that will ever become a practical reality has already happened in the realm of the spirit.

⭕️Daniel is a case study of the force of spirituality (Daniel 6:10).

2.The force of mentality (Numbers 13:30, 33, Luke 15:13-20)

⭕️Have the mindset that you are a new creation, you are a winner, you can never be defeated, etc.

⭕️Prepare yourself to have the right mindset.

⭕️Caleb and the prodigal son are case studies of the force of mentality.

3.The force of responsibility (Judges 12:1-3)

⭕️As we prepare ourselves for Great Light, let’s prepare to be responsible mountainites.

⭕️Be responsible.

⭕️You don’t need the man of God to be behind your back for you to do something.

⭕️Accept the responsibility of engaging yourself in prayer.

⭕️Accept the responsibility of being in church gatherings, whether on ground or online.

⭕️Accept the responsibility of connecting to the Holy Spirit at all times.

⭕️Accept the responsibility of following God’s messenger Pastor David and the instructions He gives out at all times.

4.The force of living in the consciousness and company of His presence (Psalm 55:17, Jeremiah 15:1, Deuteronomy 34:7)

⭕️If you don’t enjoy God’s presence on earth, how will you enjoy it in eternity?

PRAYER POINT:

FATHER, THANK YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME TO BE PART AND PARCEL OF THE 2024 AGENDA OF GREAT LIGHT, GREATER GLORY. I REFUSE TO BE SWALLOWED UP BY THE BATTLES OF LIFE, HELP ME TO ACTUALISE ALL THE PROPHECIES OF THIS YEAR IN MY LIFE.

⭕️Men are deceived to think that every day is the same.

⭕️Pain just indicates a desire for change but doesn’t change anything.

⭕️Knowledge is the only seed that brings about change.

⭕️The earth is a womb and yields the harvest of any seed planted in it.

Jeremiah 6:19,

⭕️Your body is related to the earth.

⭕️Those who want to harm your body have to cooperate with the earth.

⭕️Those who want to bless your existence have to cooperate with the earth.

Numbers 23:20

⭕️The original programming for man is to be fruitful and multiply.

Jeremiah 22:29, Isaiah 1:19

⭕️You can’t tie God to a method

John 14:12

⭕️2024 Will be a good year for us. If you tie yourself to systems, it will not be good for you.

⭕️If 2024 is the year of great light for us, that means it is gross darkness for others.

⭕️Every blessing in the bible has a condition. There is what you must do in order to have it.

⭕️2024 is a great year, but only for those who know their God.

⭕️To walk with God is not easy, and in many cases, it is a lonely journey. Hearing the voice of God is not an entitlement for pastors but for every child of God

Romans 10:17

⭕️You cannot fulfill your destiny without faith.

John 8:38

⭕️It is your identity that makes you to react in a certain way.

⭕️That you’re in this Crossover Service doesn’t not mean things will go well with you, there are decisions you must make. The decision to run away from wickedness and serve God.

⭕️Sin blunts your sensitivity to God’s voice.

2 Corinthians  11:14

⭕️God knows where he has placed you and expects you to listen more to your ‘Moses’ than anywhere else.

⭕️It wasn’t jumping around that changed the life of the prodigal son, it was reasoning.

Luke 15:18

⭕️You have to face the sun for your shadow to disappear

THINGS TO NOTE AS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT GREAT LIGHT:

1.Illumination.

⭕️A year of great light entails great illumination, meaning things you couldn’t see before you’ll see by reason of light.

   a. Speed is an additional benefit as you can see your path.

2.Great Empowerment.

⭕️Light brings empowerment, which produces glory.

⭕️This happens because light brings great understanding.

⭕️This understanding leads to empowerment.

3.Guidance. (Dan 5:11-12)

4.Enthronement. (Dan 5:11-12)

⭕️For your eye to be single, you need to have light (Matt 6:22)

⭕️This is the time that certain things that couldn’t be handled with the little light we had will be handled.

⭕️The anointing doesn’t only set free, it empowers a person to walk in a path that God has ordained for them.

Exodus 23:16, 34:22

-What you do first and what you do last matters a lot.

-God will never promote a man beyond his last level of obedience.

-Where your obedience stops is where God’s blessing stops.

-From that moment you are stagnated.

-Those things that He (God) wanted to be in the minds of the people, not to leave them, He put them into feasts, ceremonies or memorials so that at that point, people remember what God did.

-At that commemoration (of God’s acts), there is always a change of level, a blessing.

-Whatever God tells us to do is for our goodness.

-Every act of obedience to God is for our own good.

-We are in the last days and one of the diseases of the last days is unthankfulness.

2 Timothy 3:1-2, 2 Chronicles 32:24-25

One of the reasons why  people do not give thanks to God (why they are not grateful) is because of comparisons.

– The way to move forward is to be thankful for whatever level we are at.

-We owe God thanks.

-Be careful with what has not yet happened because that is a problem.

-Thanksgiving won’t happen by itself, you must make it happen. Satan will fight it because he knows the blessing in it.

-To receive a blessing from God makes us to have a debt to Him.

Luke 17:17

-Our payment to God is thanksgiving.

–The way to move forward is to be thankful for whatever level we are at.

-If you are ungrateful you have  no tomorrow.

-Thanksgiving is honour. That’s how God looks at it.

-The good things you can expect from God in the future will depend on your thanksgiving.

 Genesis 3:9

⭕️When you are out of your God-ordained position, fear will enter.

⭕️For you to be exempted, you need to be in a certain position.

⭕️Hide yourself in the word of God.

⭕️At the time when the world is getting darker, it is our time to shine as children of God but we won’t shine without light.

⭕️In the kingdom of God, words are a means of creating or bringing things into material existence.

⭕️When you are born again, you must understand that words matter a lot.

⭕️Sprits and power are released through words.

⭕️Words create atmospheres.

⭕️God deals with us as individuals.

⭕️To fulfill what God has put into your hands, you must be willing to pay the sacrifice that it takes.

⭕️The sacrifices are prescribed by God to individuals.

⭕️You can’t use the sacrifice prescribed by God to another person.

⭕️The Lord leads us according to His own preparations but you must be willing to be led.

⭕️The food for spirits is sacrifice.

⭕️Any spirit you sacrifice to will empower you; whether it’s a demon spirit or the Holy Spirit.

⭕️Until your life comes to a point where it is a sacrifice, spirits are not yet willing to commit to you.

⭕️Your own breakthrough that God should do for you will require sacrifice too because God wants to be sure that you will be committed to Him even after the breakthrough arrives.

⭕️Satan sends people with a voice that causes someone to change and head in a wrong direction.

⭕️That voice could even be from a brother or sister in the church.

⭕️When God wants to lift a man, He sends a voice and when satan wants to derail a person, he will send a voice.

Psalm 78:42

What is to reign?
⭕️To hold a royal office or have sovereign power.

⭕️To dominate, to prevail, to rule.

⭕️As born-again christians, we were born for victory and to be victorious in life and destiny.

IN ORDER TO REIGN WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND:

1.WHO WE ARE

2.WHO OUR ENEMY IS

3. WHERE WE BELONG

⭕️Your identity is a very strong point of reaction against all the assaults of the enemy.

⭕️You reject or accept something on the basis of who you are.

2 Corinthians 5:16

⭕️There is nothing that frustrates grace than your ignorance of it.

⭕️Your reign in life by the life of Christ at work in you that came when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

⭕️To be born again is not to change church.

⭕️You are not a human being.

⭕️Any new creation in Christ is a threat to satan.

⭕️When you are born-again, you are a brand new being that has come into existence.

⭕️Understanding that you are new creation is crucial to victorious living.

What does the scripture teach about new creation?

1.The new creation possesses a new, holy and divine nature (2 Peter 1:1⭕️4, Ephesians 4:24)

⭕️Your new spirit was created in God’s image and likeness.

⭕️New creation doesn’t have two natures, it only has God’s kind of nature in its spirit.

⭕️New creation is no longer a slave of sin but a slave of righteousness.

⭕️This is why when you sin it becomes offensive to you because it is against your nature.

2.The new creation possesses eternal / everlasting life (John 3:36, 14:6)

⭕️In Adam we were dead and cut off from God but now we are alive in Christ.

⭕️You no longer have human life in you but the God-kind of life in you.

⭕️Eternal life is not a future promise but it is a present reality.

3.The new creation possesses the spirit of Christ (Romans 8:9-10, Galatians 4:6, 1 Corinthians 6:17, 15:48)

⭕️If the spirit of Christ is not in you, you are not born again.

⭕️When you are dealing with devils, they see you the way they see Christ.

4.The new creation possesses the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16, Hebrews 8:10-11, 1 John 2:20, 27)

⭕️If you have the mind of Christ it means you can do all things.

⭕️The only limitation there is, is the limitation in your body.

5.The new creation in Christ is God’s beloved

You are unconditionally, completely and eternally loved, favoured, pleasing and acceptable to God.

7 BENEFITS OF BEING A NEW CREATION

2.New relationship (Ephesians 2:13)

3.New identity (1 Peter 2:9-10)

⭕️You are no longer on your own, you belong to Christ.

4.New creation gives you  a new destiny (Philippians 3:20-21)

⭕️Destiny comes from your destination.

⭕️When you were in the world, hell was your destination and everything you were doing was leading you to hell.

5.It gives you a new position (Ephesians 2:6)

⭕️Your seat has now changed.

6.New power (Acts 1:8)

7.New purpose (Ephesians 2:10)

THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY IN DOING GOOD IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Proverbs 22:29, 1 Corinthians 15:58, 2 Peter 3:14

⭕️We must be diligent (consistent) in our service to God.

⭕️If you are not consistent in what you are doing, you will not have results.

⭕️Diligent means to be constant in effort in order to accomplish something.

Galatians 6:7-10

⭕️There is always a due season for a child of God who is consistent in what they are doing.

⭕️A due season may not be today, tomorrow, or after 3 months. It may even be after 5 years but the rule of the game is that there is always a due season.

⭕️Consistent means a quality of always behaving or performing in a similar way.

⭕️A major pathway to distinction in life is discipline.

⭕️If you want to be consistent, you must be disciplined.

⭕️Discipline is the practice of training people to obey rules or a cause of behaviour using punishment to correct disobedience.

WHY IS DISCIPLINE IMPORTANT?

1.It creates habits

2.It helps us to train our minds and bodies, enabling us to focus on our goals in order to regulate emotions

Hebrews 6:9

⭕️God is not unrighteous, He can never use you and dump you (Hebrews 6:9⭕️10).

⭕️When we maintain consistency we begin to do things naturally.

⭕️We don’t determine our due season, it is God who determines our due season.

CASE STUDIES OF CONSISTENT PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE

1.Cornelius (Acts 10:1-4, 44)

2.Elisha (2 Kings 2:1-15)

3.Dorcas (Acts 9:36-41)

4.King David (1 Samuel 18:5)

5.Daniel (Daniel 6:16, 20)

⭕️Daniel experienced favour from God because He was consistent in his walk with God.

⭕️Consistency is important because it cultivates faithfulness and faithfulness is the master key to increasing the anointing upon your life.

WHY IS SPIRITUAL CONSISTENCY IMPORTANT?

1.It develops routine and builds momentum

⭕️Every time you show up at that place of prayer, study of the word of God, you are building momentum.

2.It becomes a source of encouragement for yourself and those around you.

3.It makes us stronger in our spiritual life and walk with God

⭕️This will make God pleased with us.

⭕️How far you go is a function of the light at work in your life.

⭕️How fast you go is a function of the light at work in your life.

⭕️Light is in categories.

⭕️A candle produces light and heat, but it is not enough to cook with.

⭕️It is great light that leads to greatness.

⭕️satan doesn’t know everything; he can’t even guess what you’re thinking.

⭕️Feet washing is a mystery.

⭕️Once understood and practiced well, you can go to high places.

⭕️Miracle meal is another mystery.
