KINGDOM REVIVAL THROUGH WALKING IN THE LEGACY

 

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:  7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.   8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.  ~ Col 2:6-7

 

INTRODUCTION

 

As ladies and a key ministry in the church, we should perpetuate and continue to walk in the Legacy. However, some can relax and expire in as far as Kingdom Legacy is concerned. It is against this background I stand here to bring a revival to someone in walking in the Legacy. It is too early to get lost

 

What Walking in the Legacy mean

·         Walking in Greek peripeateo MEANS line up your behaviour, a lifestyle, a path to stay on, it is a practical thing. Legacy is personal, perpetual, pure and practice al. Let us stay in the path of the legacy and do what is required in purity.

·         Walking is related to movement (it’s not allowed to remain at one level). One must continue walking. We are on a journey we don’t stop; we continue. Don’t let anyone or anything make you to stop giving, attending church, Tuesday prayer, Ladies meetings and doing good.

·         The IN means within, inside (positional). We have a path called Legacy. We must be in Christ, or outside (you can be in Church or a department but outside legacy, Christ or the Kingdom of God). Are you in or you are OUTSIDE. Are you for us or for the Devil? If we are not careful, we may think the church is moving but the candidates will be not of God or not of us.

·         Legacy: speaks of an already laid foundation, model, path, design. You walk in the path which God has prepared for you (we walk not your own created road but a road already fashioned). Wherever we are let’s do what our Go Quickly and the church teaches and has laid out to be done.

·         Walking means: Direction, focus and going somewhere. We are going somewhere as a ministry and at personal level (no room for a visionless woman. Legacy is a prescribed vision already laid). Our father was a person of vision. There is no reason for a lady to be lost in this generation. The legacy has a direction to make us become like Christ in identity. Don’t live a haphazard life, you are an excellent person.

·         Walking in Christ would mean to depend with Christ, the initiator of the legacy which our father left for us. It is painful that many women now depend on many things in life but we should anchor our lives on Christ. Depend on God in your family, business, marriage, schoolwork, life etc

·         Walking is a daily commitment. Do not tired or weary in walking. Many people become lazy to walk, disturbed in the walk, stop to walk. It is a fight because in the walking you will meet challenges, obstacles, hindrances, limitations etc SAY: No more limits. I am a woman walking in the LEGACY. I am more than a conqueror.

As we walk in the Legacy (This Church will not come to an end)

·         Walk in good character and good works (speech, thinking, habits Eph 2:10) How is your character at home, business, workplace, church. Are you faithful in everyday life? (Ps 12:1; Mt 25:23); Well-done, good and faithful servant. Are you a good and faithful woman to your family, church, business, leader, God? Can God commend you, can you family depend on you, Can your leader depend on you? Where are the women of good character in our assemblies, provinces and the nations.

·         Walk in holiness and newness (new creature Eph 4:17-24). You are a new person and the old has passed away. Put off the old self and put on new YOU. Be ye holy because I am holy. Col

·         Walk in the light (Eph 5:8-10). No more darkness. Live in the open and with openness. Live an open life, you are actually called to display the light. No more secret or double life. A lady should be a lady not mix things with the dark. In this church we don’t sell our bodies, we don’t go to witchdoctors or false prophets or ask spirits of dead people. We believe in the light: Jesus Christ.

·         Walk in wisdom (Eph 5:5:15-16). Life needs order, wisdom, planning, use of time, proper management for success. We can not say we are moving in the legacy and not become successful in life. The legacy is a package and we should benefit from it as we utilize the wisdom God gave us. The legacy doesn’t allow us to live like fools

·         Walk daily and continuously: It is a life time commitment. Don’t allow anything to stop you from walking. It is Kingdom mindset to walk and walk in faith (2 Cor 5:7) I press towards the goal, not having apprehended it (Phil 3:14). Move, move. Speak about greatness daily, Confess the word of God daily.

THE REASONS WHY MANY ARE NO LONGER WALKING IN THE LEGACY

 

Many ladies no longer rooted and grounded in the Legacy

 

Rooted and grounded: stability, stable, not shaken, distracted. Any plant which doesn’t have proper root system will be shaken or it will die. I will not be shaken sister. Roots have a purpose of taking up water and nutrients, stabilizing and grounding the plant

 

Declare: Nothing will shake me, I am stable, I am rooted, I will not fall. I will live and declare the works of the Lord. I will continue walking in my stability as a woman. Don’t try to push me, I am stable.

 

Roots are always attacked: In agriculture it could be poor soils, pests, diseases, water shortage, extreme temperatures. You will always have attacks on your roots as a believ.er

 

 

 

Enemies of Being Rooted  

• Wrong friends: wrong teachings, wrong influence. You used to be a good Christian until you associated with that person. Shake yourself from wrong influence. You will become bad very soon. You have a choice whom to associate with. Whom you relate with can dictate your life
• Wounds, trials and Storms of Life: Challenges, diseases, marital issues. Don’t allow what happens in life affect your stability. Count it all joy when you enter various trials (James 1:3) You are winner, don’t be shaken sister
• Offenses (Lk 17:1): Unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred and grudges
• Prayerlessness and lack of the Word (Mt 17:21 NIV): We become rooted and strong through the word and prayer. How often do you pray and fast and read His Word? Don’t just become a conference or event person who doesn’t read the Word and pray. Thy word have I hidden in my heart (Ps 119:11)
• Idleness and laziness: (2 Thes 3:10) Laziness is a destructive habit that leads to poverty, missed opportunities and poor character. You have no participation in the house of the Lord or family/home, not working in life or business. Baba Guti taught us to work not just selling but even the Work of God. What are you doing in your assembly, family, marriage, Province or ministry department? You can’t be just a place holder. Work please, find something to do. Life is about directed effort on something. A woman working in the legacy is an action woman
• Rebellion, stubbornness and Disobedience: sin of rebellion: Rebellion to your boss/leader, your God, your church, your husband etc. Doing what you were told not to do. The Bible says that the sin of rebellion is as good as witchcraft (1 Sam 15:23). In meetings you are one always causing trouble and confusion. You are not obeying your chairlady, pastor, Overseer, Bishop etc
• Demonic attacks (John 8:32): Live a demon free life. Be free now in the name of Jesus. Darkness, go now. Leave that woman now. Pray for deliverance now.

 

GOD REVIVE US IN YOUR LEGACY
