There is a generation rising that is dissatisfied with the way Church is being run today. They are asking questions. The issues being raised are just a sign of a deeper issue. We must provide them answers
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

If we do not provide these answers, we would begin to harbour rebellion in our midst
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

The records of the scripture are beyond historical. They have application today. If we can find the circumstances Jesus was in, we can do the things He did
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Jesus was in the process of defining the Church. He asked, "Who do people say I am." The loudest things we hear today are often "what people say" not necessarily what Jesus intends
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Without revelation, we would see and treat Church by what the government says, just like Herod did to Jesus or what people say just like the disciples reported
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

It doesn't matter what people say, it is always wrong. Jesus only can define the Church. Do not form opinions about the Church from what people say.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

When Jesus asked the disciples the same question "Who do you say I am" there was silence. We would assume they being with Jesus or attending Church is the same as knowing who Jesus was. But even they did not have answers
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Peter spoke by revelation "You are Jesus, Son of the Living God." This is the beginning of the concept of Church.

Historically, the Greeks would conquer a city with military power. In addition, they would establish an economic and social culture for a total conquest so that they would never rise.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

The Greek would send in Ambassadors to teach the greek culture and sink the indigenous culture. This was what Cesarea Phillipi represented. This was the symbolism of Jesus defining the Church here.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

We must consciously and powerfully teach and establish the culture of the Kingdom everywhere we find ourselves.

Revelations are powerless until they are voiced out
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

The people who are tired of Church mostly are those who dwell on the religious side of things and not the strategic side of things
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

It is an offence for a believer to see the Gate of Hell manifest anywhere and not shut it down. This is the mission statement of the Church. This is the declaration that established the Church.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

One of the reasons why people are tired is that the knowledge of God is not widely spread. Some have a revelation from God, some have a revelation of flesh and blood. Some are pregnant, some are not. One class can't keep up
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

When you carry the anointing, people either get filled or get moved. Those who carry the same spirit get filled. Those with a contrary spirit get moved.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Sometimes, we only understand the positive from contrasting with the negative. If the demons in a single man can collapse a business of 2000 pigs. How much more a man filled with the Spirit of God.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

People get tired of Church because they do Church in Church. Church is meant to be done outside of Church. Church means called out not called in. We are the called out ones. Real Church is done outside of Church
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Church is about a people that enforce the Kingdom of God in our environment. It comprises of people who carry the Spirit of God.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

The Holy Spirit if the Spirit of sonship. We must be sons. We must be under authority. We must be submitted. The heavens opened when Jesus submitted to the ministry of John the Baptist.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

We never truly know who we are until we know who He is. All of Peter's life he was called Cephas. But at the revelation of the Spirit he declared, Jesus revealed his own identity.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Revelation is a rock. It is a building material. Wherever God finds it, He wants to build.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

As a diplomat, we do not have an opinion. We represent a government. We must walk with a consciousness that we represent a government.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

At the inception, God decided to do Church and Kingdom. We do Church on one side and do Kingdom on the other hand. Church is not all there is to us. We must open up our world to the influence of the Kingdom.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

The kingdom is wherever you are when you are not in Church. The same anointing present in Church can be translated into any sector and area of life. The anointing is strategic that can be deployed.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Gratitude is a dimension of the Kingdom that releases the ability to multiply resources. Jesus gave thanks over 5 loaves and it fed 5000 men excluding women and Children
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Where is the economic impact of our tongues? Joseph by the spirit gave Egypt a 14 blueprint to come out of recession. Daniel administered Babylon through 4 governments. Where has your faith brought you?
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Until the Kingdom of this word becomes the Kingdom of God and of His Christ
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

The Kingdom is the reason for Church
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Contact without contamination is the way of the Kingdom. Joseph in Egypt. Daniel in Babylon.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

Church is supposed to raise people who will enforce the Kingdom of God. The keys of the Kingdom are not to be used in the Church. They are for influence for the sake of the Kingdom.
#PartakersOfTheHeavenlyCalling #KDG2018 @deleosunmakinde

unroll

In indoctrinating a society, the Greeks do not send just anybody, They send high ranking officials. How do you see yourself? An important part of what God is doing or just another human? A prince or a slave? A son or nobody?
