Message – 4.08.2021
Mar 4:24 And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.
Jesus gives an exhortation here on three things.
- Pay attention to what you hear
- With the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
- And still more will be added to you.
1.Pay attention to what you hear
The way you hear and give to others is important.
For eg . Suppose you want to share this message with someone. You can do it in various ways.
You can take any one point of this message, and elaborate on this, you can just recollect whatever you have heard from your memory.
If you want to take a little more, You have to refer your scribbling pad, take some note sand share.
But if you want to pass on the full message, you will have to use the ppt or word document and get it translated into your own language or pass on as it is to those who understand English.
Dear soldiers, we have a duty to pass on to others what all you hear immediately after you receive it.
What are you receiving everyday?
- The Word of God (through Morning Worship, Troop Churches, Meditation of the Word etc.
- Anointing of the Holy Spirit- through BFF, Gift Schools, Night Prayer, Daily Prayer etc.
- Opportunities or platforms to utilize your talents . (Talent of worshipping, teaching, healing, Deliverance, cooking, comforting, drawing, computer work, journalism, singing, public speaking etc.
Whatever you hear have to be handed over to others immediately. As you keep it with you for one day (24 hours) the anointing in it (the sharpness, the accuracy, the precision and power of the Word )will decrease or may disappear completely. If the delay is more than 24 hours, still the anointing will be reduced. As the delay is more, the ratio depreciation also will be more.
- With the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
The soldiers of the Army of Jesus are called to give freely whatever they receive. In giving to others, the measurement you use will be used for you.
Mat 7:2 For…………. ………, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
I have experienced it in my life.
We do not have anything to give to others except what we receive from the Lord.
Whenever I receive a new revelation or interpretation of the Word of God, I am very particular that it is passed on to others, i.e. AOJ Soldiers as early as possible . In the same way, there are a good no of soldiers in AOJ who are willing to distribute to others whatever they receive from the Lord. They volunteer to become teachers, to start Troop Churches, to organizers of gift Schools etc. But I notice such zeal IS MISSING IN SOME OF THE SOLDIERS.
In this the institutional Churches went wrong. Whatever Pastors or leaders received from the Lord (Gifts of healing, Deliverance etc) was kept for themselves and their children. The children who were not called for their ministry started misusing them or not using them at all. Result? Everything that were given for distribution among the believers went wasted. They left believers as wanderers, never growing in the spiritual gifts because they were not nourished properly.
Luk 6:38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Dear soldiers,
AOJ provides ample opportunities for you to grow.
To grow in leadership quality
To conduct Troop Churches
To conduct worship
To give messages
To pray for each other and minister to each other
To cast out demons
To heal sicknesses
To receive prophetic revelations from heaven etc.
- And still more will be added to you
Deu 15:10 You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.
When you come forward to give the anointing or the Word of the Lord freely to others, there comes the reward for it,
The LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake
There are many soldiers in AOJ who have received such rewards.
“pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap”. According to the ratio you give to others without any limit or border, the Lord will reward you.
Dear soldiers,
You are given responsibility of a State!
When you pray minister to others, by getting a message, a vision or a revelation from the Lord. So that the Lord will bless you with more prophetic gifts.
Exercise your gift of healing so that the Lord will expand your territories of healing.
Activate your gift of Deliverance so that you go on setting the captives free!
God bless you!
