Notes/exhortation from Workplace Ministry meeting on June 22, 2023

Dead things will come alive. We are living in a season of resurrection.

As a church, we are entering a new frontier, into unchartered territories.

As such, we need to stir up ourselves to take hold of God.

We need to consecrate ourselves, by setting ourselves apart. 

We need to learn how to honour God; and cultivate the fear of the Lord.

Approach Him with a sense of awesomeness - not a lackadaisical attitude.

Isaiah 58:11-12

The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones;

You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

Those from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

The second half of 2023 is going to be interesting and exciting. Expect it to be so!

And be it according to your faith.

If you are a child of God, you can expect to be guided by God continually; and always. (v 11)

Enter the next six months believing that the Spirit of God is preparing a way for you. On your end, you need to change your mindset to be aligned with the Lord.

There’s a shift that’s happening in the spiritual realm. Times of refreshing and renewal are here. But they always begin with a change in our own inner being. 

Before God changes the external, our inner being has to be changed. We need to shift our mindset and bring our thoughts into obedience to Jesus Christ.

Be prepared for what God is going to do. Expect the blessings of God for the second half to exceed that you have experienced in the first half.

Go into the second half with the assurance that God is always with you. We need to host the presence of God in our lives.

The sun-scorched land will have to give way to a well-watered garden. 

Declare no more dryness and sun-scorched land (spiritual life, health, finances, career)!

God is calling dead things to come alive. (v12)

God wants to rebuild ancient ruins (our heritage); bringing back the fundamentals or foundations that we have forgotten.

We need to rebuild our altars.

We need to believe something extraordinary will happen. In fact, change has already taken place.

Declare it is a new beginning; God will reset our lives to bring renewal, and put us on a path that is so amazing that it will astound us.

God is an amazing God.

Claim the provision of God; and prepare our hearts for what’s ahead.

Allow faith to arise as we are entering a new beginning with a new flow and new anointing in the second half of 2023.

He is the Lord.

The blessings of God are without sorrow.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God

The blessings of God will not only come, but they will overtake you.

Look for the miracles of God. God performs miracles not to prove to us that He is God. But it is to strengthen our faith through the manifestation of the glory of God and the signs and wonders.

When we walk right with God, signs and wonders will follow us.

Acknowledge the Holy Spirit for He will bring us into the fulfillment of His plan for our lives.

We’re carriers of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

He comes to indwell us.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit is to be empowered to expand the Kingdom of God.

Let’s pray the second half of 2023 will be more fruitful and abundant. 

It’s harvest time. The rain of the Holy Spirit is pouring now. 

We are to receive the anointing and power of God.

We are living in extraordinary times, exciting times. 

And those who know their God will do great exploits.

Breakthroughs and miracles are coming.

Revival is coming. Hallelujah. Amen.
