A GENERATION WITH WISDOM
DIVINE STRATEGIES ON THE FIELD OF SOULS
Facsimiles of His Glory, the Exact Representation of His Brilliant Capture
There is a constant, conscious need to overcome the works of darkness. The enemy operates stealthily, often sowing destruction during the night (Matthew 13:25). In response, the believer must remain spiritually vigilant. Fill your heart with the Word today — it is a living messenger that rises up in moments of quiet and inactivity, particularly at night. As demonstrated in Scripture, the Israelites departed from Egypt by night at the word of the Lord (Exodus 12:29–31; Deuteronomy 16:1). Egypt represents bondage and darkness, and night is often symbolic of spiritual inactivity or concealment.
We must remain burning with light in the night so that our good works are visible and our Father in heaven is glorified. The excellency of light is not merely that it shines but that it overcomes the darkness. Though the darkness does not create the light, it gives light the platform to be revealed. In truth, we often make the most progress in the midst of darkness.
The believer should never be comfortable in an environment where people lack the life of God. The world around us, spiritually speaking, is a graveyard — and that should move us to action. There is no night in ministry — no resultless place, no limitation, no agitation, no mental oppression — from which we cannot come out. Israel came out of Egypt by night, and likewise, we are to come out of every form of darkness through divine instruction.
Declare with boldness what your pastor has spoken over your life, your fellowship, and your assignment. Proclaim that you have the grace to raise giants, secure financial partners, obtain an auditorium, and bring many to church. Let your heart resolve that there shall be no home unreached by the revelation that Jesus died for them.
We are called to cry for the souls in Egypt — for those yet bound in spiritual darkness. As Matthew 2:18 records, "Rachel weeping for her children... because they are not," so must we groan in intercession when people do not respond to the gospel. Your results — the lives you bring into the kingdom — are the evidence that there is a voice crying out in your city. You must embody the vision that God has placed within the heart of the church.
Spiritual instructions — rhema — must be followed meticulously. When these divine directions are disregarded, mistakes are inevitable. But if obeyed, rhema follows you as a blessing. Be diligent to take notes and preserve the wisdom imparted. Every insight you walk in was first learned. There is no place for pride or the pursuit of originality in the kingdom. Truth is to be learned, shared, and passed on. Do not hesitate to quote or draw from the wisdom of others when necessary — confident humility is a mark of spiritual maturity.
Praying for souls is a cry in the spirit, and through such intercession, results are birthed more easily. Speaking in tongues regularly brings clarity, revelation, and specific instructions for the work. The answers you seek — the rhema for the next step — often arise from deep spiritual groaning.
Be intentional in converting your targets into active leaders (TALs). Involve them in the work. True success is found in knowing your divine purpose and fulfilling it. Refuse to accept excuses when targets are not met; instead, press in with Anagkazo — the divine compulsion that brings increase.
Not every strategy suits every personality, yet each approach can be studied and adapted to suit the assignment placed in your hands. Even if the path differs, the principles remain the same. What matters is intentionality and pursuit. Let your only satisfaction in the work be "more" — more souls, more growth, more obedience, more light.
Lastly, commit your resources — your substance — to the work of the ministry. There is a rhema echoing now: Come out of the night of not producing results. Let every darkness that veils effectiveness be broken. Rise into fruitfulness. Operate in the wisdom that is both stealth and strategy — divine, clandestine, and victorious.
HOW NOT TO BE REPLACED IN THE MINISTRY
"Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way." — 1 Samuel 12:23
It is essential to engage in spiritual vigilance, particularly during the night. While daytime prayer remains vital, the night presents a unique opportunity to exercise spiritual authority (Lamentations 2:19). Scripture shows that the enemy sows tares at night; therefore, we must take charge during these hours to prevail in the spirit. Night vigils strengthen the believer, making them audacious, resilient, and spiritually rugged.
God answers prayer — not merely fasting. Fasting must be accompanied by prayer that leads to revelation (rhema). Every moment must be valued; not all times are equal, and we must be alert to spiritual timings. There is a dominion that governs the day, and another that operates in the night. Yet, our light shines most excellently in darkness, and the darkness cannot comprehend it (John 1:5).
If we fail to engage the night in spiritual labor, the adversary gains ground. Night prayers subdue the flesh and open the heart to the transforming power of the Word. If one yields to the Word, it will refine them; otherwise, there will be consequences. For now, our night vigils will be held monthly. This gathering will be titled "The Sailing Extra Intense" — replacing the former BB Saturday.
The moon often signifies the valley of decision (John 10:12). Temptations that stir carnal desires intensify at night, demanding a consistent, conscious response of prayer to overcome the flesh. Night prayers serve as spiritual inspections. In these hours, we approve what is good, acceptable, and perfect in the will of God (Romans 12:2).
Studying the Word functions as an examination, proving our readiness to answer the challenges of life. A diligent student of the Word is shown to be genuine (Romans 12:1–2). Joy comes in the morning, but those who labor in intercession and fasting may sow in tears. Nevertheless, one can choose to let joy begin in the night by aligning with the will of God through earnest prayer.
It is crucial to sustain the revelation of grace granted to us as we actively serve and minister to others. Woe to the church whose leaders are idle, feasting when they ought to be laboring — when their kings are not noble in discipline and service.
Much grace has been released for the ministry because great instruction has already been given. We must become effective at persuasion, especially when faced with excuses. Ministry work requires financial commitment and should always occupy our hearts and minds.
Despite the challenges, the glory before us outweighs every excuse. Jesus was the first to exemplify Anagkazo — the compelling force to bring others into the kingdom. This same glory empowers us to obtain results that surpass natural limitations. Do not allow others’ excuses to dim the glory of the assignment. When we speak the Word from above, people will respond (John 17:8). In this day of divine power, the people are made willing. The glory within us overcomes the world.
God will release inspired ideas that transcend human excuses. Unity and perfect oneness create an atmosphere where Satan has no foothold (John 17:23). The love the Father has for Jesus is the same love He has for us — love that existed before creation. Though the world may not recognize us (Genesis 46:34), we are known by God.
Leadership must cultivate a spirit of generosity and encouragement. Love never fails. It is patient and kind. God will never abandon those who walk in faith and obedience. Prosperity follows divine instruction, especially the guidance given by spiritual leaders.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. A prophetic word declares: “I see the Lord giving a fellowship of three people (one is a woman) who will run with the vision — they are coming with fire.”
Desire distinguishes a person. When your leader speaks, perceive what is being communicated — this is how to function under spiritual instruction. The Word is the seed. Write down the vision. Let it shape your attitude and lifestyle, and the people will gather.
The life force of a seed is greater than the gravitational pull of the earth’s particles — desire propels it to break forth. Great faith is found in those who hold fast to the words and commands of their leaders. Honor your commitments. Do not joke with your tithe or offerings. When money or gifts are received, pay debts first.
God honors the man who fulfills his vows, even when it costs him. The grace for giving is already active in the ministry; we must all partake of it. God knows how to meet every need in His house. Do you have a strong desire to produce results in a difficult place? Then ask yourself — What do I see?
Desire increases through what you see and hear (James 1:14). The only thing that should satisfy you is more — more of God, more of His Word, more results in His name.
