DON'T LEAVE THE CAMP
Ministry this time looks so good, that young men and women are joining the ministry with hope to be on top, despite that some crashed on the way, many are still joining. I believe that the intention of joining the ministry in this massive form is not all right but indicates the end time ministry.
In our days, it was not a good thing when a prophet tells you that you are called of God. I joined the ministry in a young age, my mother convinced me that God called me, and that was it.
I joined the ministry in 1987, had a serious training, sealed with hunger and frustration, I told God, is like my mother's call is what I am facing, I will do this work if you reveal yourself to me.
2 Timothy 2:3-4
------------
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
I am sharing this my experience in the ministry for our younger ones. Suffering in the ministry doesn't prove that God is not with you, but see yourself that you are in a training ground, a day of your glory and introduction is coming, just keep enduring as a good soldier of Christ.
1990, I left the ministry because of too much suffering, I told God that I was going to do business and support the work of God.
I moved to Cameroon for a business, I told myself that I can't preach any more or do any church thing, enough for that nonsense.
The devil was telling me, you were in prison for a long time, now you can rock life and make money, na me kill Jesus ? My mind asked me.
" There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
Proverbs 14: 12
Don't allow suffering or enjoyment in the ministry to destroy your work with God. Keep the fire of your ministry burning, you are better where you are, and God has a good plan for you, endure your training, don't leave the camp, it's too dangerous.
As the enemy has gotten my heart, I bought canvas, and good wears for the party that night. I entered the party house, as I was making a move to dance, the manager of the party shouted on me, and commanded me to get out, why? I asked. He replied, go back to the ministry, you are not needed here😡
I moved to another street and joined another party, the same thing happened, in this one, the manager send some men to drag me out of the party.
The Lord revealed himself in the dream, telling me to go back to the ministry, I told God that I can't go back to that prison called ministry.
After some days, a thief from the Lord visited me and stole my money for my business. I had no option than to come back to Nigeria. I came back 1994 and still maintained my stand " no ministry again "
I found a job in a bottling company, they asked me to start work, the first day I started work, the director visited the company, as he was working around the company, he saw me, and called the manager and asked him, who is this young man ? he explained how they employed me yesterday.
The director shouted on me with a loud voice, leave this company now and go back to the ministry.
I left that place, going back to a friend house where I use to attach myself crying in my heart, Lord what have I done to be treated this way. I know the answer, I left the camp
I returned to the ministry 1995, after much afflictions, because I went on resisting God, until I finally gave my whole self as a living sacrifice.
🙏I pray for you that God will give you clear revelation of your ministry, and bless you with the spirit of obedience, so that you won't leave the camp. Amen
