INTERNATIONAL MINISTERS’ FLAMING FIRE CONFERENCE/POWER COMMUNION SERVICE – WEDNESDAY, 26TH AUGUST 2020
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): PROVERBS 4:18; PSALM 84:7
MESSAGE TOPIC: SECRETS OF PERPETUAL IMPACT (1) – FACE YOUR FRONT
By:
Dr. Paul Enenche
MESSAGE OBJECTIVE: Understanding the place of focus on perpetual impact
Those who start in life are many but those who last in life are few; those who start in life are many but those who finish in life are few
The plan of God for His people is to start strong, continue stronger and finish strongest (Prov. 4:18; Ps. 84:7; 2Tim. 4:6-8; Num. 23:10; Ps. 37:37)
CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE AND HOW THEY FARE:
1. Those who started well but finished sadly (Judg. 16:28)
2. Those who started well but are existing with no impact (1Kings 13:11)
3. Those who started well but are now existing as a distraction
4. Those who started well but stepped into error (Prov. 25:11; 2Pet. 2:22)
5. Those who started well and ended strong (2Tim. 4:6-8)
WHAT DO YOU DO TO FINISH WELL?
Face your front! (Joel 2:7-8; Prov. 4:25-27; Phil. 3:14)
If you are going to continue to impact your world, you must face your front!
You can’t make your mark if you are off your track
When you lose your focus, you lose your future
To be out of your track is to be out of the game
Whenever you are driving and you lose focus, you are both a danger to your life and a danger to others
THINGS THAT MUST NOT DISTRACT YOU:
1. Don’t be moved into COMPETITION (Hab. 2:3)
2. Don’t be moved into IMITATION
3. Don’t be moved by CONDEMNATION or CRITICISM (Acts 13:43-45)
If you want to reach your goal, you must thicken your skin and deafen your ears – Archbishop Benson Idahosa
Nobody talks about nobodies; unripe mangoes attract no stones
If you don’t want anybody talking about you, forget impact
Anytime you do things that shake cities or shake nations, expect envy
Anytime you do things that commands multitudes, expect envy (and not from unbelievers)
People can survive your failure but they can’t withstand your success
4. Don’t be moved into the CONDEMNATION OF OTHERS
The condemnation of people is not a ministry; people that are into it don’t end well
WHY THE CONDEMNATION OF PEOPLE IS NOT A MINISTRY:
4a. God is the Ultimate Judge of His servants; God has not committed the judgment and sentencing of His servants into the hands of mortal man (Rom. 14:4; Jam. 4:11-12; 1Sam. 26:9; 2Sam. 1:14-16; Acts 23:1-5)
4b. To position yourself as a judge over others positions you for the judgment of every single error of your life; it positions you for the strictest level of judgment (Matt. 7:1-2; Jam. 2:13)
4c. Everyone has more issues to deal with in their lives than what they are looking out for in the lives of others (Matt. 7:3-5; Luke 6:41-42; John 12:1-6)
There is a connection between hypocrisy and criticism
4d. God does not handle His Kingdom matters in the public domain (2Sam. 1:19-20; 1Cor. 6:1-7)
4e. You can only correct or direct someone who is attempting to reach where you have been
or where you have left (Gal. 2:11-13; Acts 21:10)
It takes an apostle to correct an apostle, and not in front of the unbelieving world
DO MEN OF GOD ERR?:
100% yes because they are first men. Man can never be God Almighty
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MEN OF GOD ERR?:
1. God reaches them by Himself (Job 33:14-16)
2. If they fail to hear, God sends His servants known to them to warn them
3. If they fail to hear or change, God deals with them brutally and takes them out
COUNSEL:
Face your front
CATEGORIES OF CRITICS:
1. Unknown, impactless individuals who try to make a name by talking against people that God has given a name
2. Outstanding failures who have never succeeded at anything and are frustrated by their failures
3. Envious, bitter people reacting to their backwardness
4. People with a lack of life’s vision, mission and purpose
They have nothing to say so they are permanently commenting on what others are saying and doing
5. People with the plague of grandiose delusion
6. Outright agents of the devil acting under the direction of their master, satan the devil, who is the accuser of the brethren (Rev. 12:10-11)
7. Distracted and detracted people who are out of their lane
PRAYERS
Father, thank You for Your Word. Help me not to be a victim of any negative aspect of this Word. I receive the grace to face my front in order to make a mark. I receive the grace not to be distracted and detracted, in Jesus’ Name.
Father, I receive the grace to face my front. I receive that grace, in Jesus’ Name.
