FOCUS: IN THE DAYS OF HIS POWER: THE LORD WILL PURGE AND PURIFY HIS CHURCH
TEXT: I TIM: 3:15, ISA. 1:26, EPH. 5:25-27, LUKE 3:17
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYER
The church of God is the pillar and the ground of truth, the
church of the living God. The church of God is the city of righteousness and the faithful city: Yes, the church of God is the city of truth. This is the ideal picture of the church of God. But in
2Tim. 2:20, the church of God has become “a great house” made
up of different vessels. Sanctified and unsanctified vessels, holy and godless vessel, matured and immature vessels, dynamic gospel ministers and corrupt gospel ministers. This is why the
church of God is losing power. The church of God is a very powerful
institution. It is a glorious and magnetic home of truth, love, righteousness, centre of transformation, and astounding miracles.
It is a place of raising and preparing people for heaven and
preparing champions for God; who will occupy strategic places on
earth. For the church to achieve this, he needs to be purged and
purified. So, our task today is to ask the Lord to purge and purify
His church. To ask Him to bring the church to a place of purity,
power, love, unity, righteousness and total obedience. God can
remove all forms of ungodliness, wickedness, corruptions,
immorality, worldliness, ungodly practices, idolatry, financial fraud,
bitterness, and dirty politics going on in the church today.
Unfortunately, because of current state of the church, the church of Prophet Samuel in the Old Testament seems to be more powerful than the present church. Imagine this: The sons of
prophets were prophesying and David ran to them in Noath.
King Saul sent soldiers to go and arrest David. The soldiers went their
as roaring lions, and on getting their, they saw David but they could
not arrest him because the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul and they also prophesied. And when Saul was told, he sent other soldiers to arrest David and they also prophesied. Then, he sent others soldiers to arrest David, batch 1 and batch 2 soldiers. They got there, the same thing also happened
to them. The church of Samuel was not afraid of Saul.
And King Saul now resolved to go himself. He went but on the way the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he went on and prophesied until
he came to Naoth in Ramah and he also stripped off his clothes and
prophesied before Samuel in like manner; and lay down naked all
that day and all the night. The arresters were arrested, their lions were turned to lambs. They saw David, they could not arrest him.
The place became a sinking and stripping ground for them. Today,
when the church is purged and purified, the Holy Spirit and Angels
will be at work without any inhibition, then all agents of the devil
will become powerless and paralyzed in our local Assemblies. All
human lions in the capacity of witches and wizards will become lambs and turned to agents of righteousness. That is why the church is the city of truth and righteousness. It turns vilest offenders to saints.
That is the transformational work of the Holy Spirit and the power of the word. It is going to be a new day and season in GOFAMINT all over the world; when we allow God to purge and purify His church. Lord, we are willing, we are ready, do the work of total cleansing in our midst today!
