NO MAN CAN CAGE A STAR DESTINED TO SHINE : Pastor Isaac Olutimehin
*TEXT:*
1 Corinthians 3:6 KJV.
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase”.
*MESSAGE*
☆☆☆ I have listened to messages on this verse of the scripture again and again.
☆☆☆ I have also heard people use this verse in their discussions.
☆☆☆ But the Holy Spirit wants to teach us something very different and quite interesting today.
☆☆☆ It is a common thing today, even in the church of God, to see the pastor in-charge wanting to preach every Sunday; without giving room for other pastors, under him, to minister.
☆☆☆ Beloved, increase is not by hard labour or show of human power but God remains the only one who brings about the increase.
☆☆☆ Are you a leader in an organization who looks down on your subordinates?
☆☆☆ You want to be seen doing everything, so that you can take all the glory!!!
☆☆☆ You may take all the glory sir but has there been any “increase” in all you do!!!
☆☆☆ Another word for “increase”, as used in the above verse, is “success”.
☆☆☆ This verse can therefore be read as 👇
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but success is of the Lord”.
■■■Read this and learn a lesson 👇
☆☆☆ I was in a mechanic workshop, many years ago, to repair my car.
☆☆☆ The boss was about to take his lunch and he asked one of his apprentices to fix a car lock.
☆☆☆ Within 10 minutes, the boy was done. The boy now told his boss that he had fixed the lock.
☆☆☆ His boss was visibly angry, thinking the young man hadn’t done what he was asked to do.
☆☆☆ But on inspection, he discovered that the boy had actually fixed the car lock perfectly.
☆☆☆ The boss, who thought he knew more than his apprentice, had actually battled with the lock for hours but couldn’t resolve the problem.
☆☆☆ He actually asked the boy to fix the lock just to keep him busy while he (the boss) was busy taking his lunch.
☆☆☆ The apprentice resolved the problem, the solution of which was elusive to his boss.
☆☆☆ This was just to prove the fact that God brings about increase (success) in whatever we do.
☆☆☆ Some leaders today are too arrogant to learn from their subordinates.
☆☆☆ “Increase” is of the Lord beloved.
*Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? – I Cor. 3:5.*
☆☆☆ Only God decides in whose hands he will allow the increase (success) to become manifest.
☆☆☆ If you like, do all the job.
☆☆☆ As a pastor in-charge, you can bench all your pastors every Sunday and preach all the messages, if possible.
☆☆☆ As a leader in an organization, you can cage all your subordinates so that no one notices them.
☆☆☆ But always remember this 👇
*”I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase” – 1 Corinthians 3:6*.
*PRAYERS* 👇
1. Oh God my father, let my star be too hot for glory killers to handle.
2. No man and no power shall be strong enough to cage my destiny.
3. I am born to rule, am unstoppable.
4. Oh God my creator, don’t allow arrogance to push me out of relevance in Jesus name.
5. Father, let my buried glory resurrect to fill his mandate in Jesus name.
6. Humble me Lord to seek for help when I need it the most.
â– â– â– The summary of Matthew 7:7 is: Ask, Seek, Knock, The first letter of each of those words put together gives us another word: ASK.
7. Oh God my father, don’t allow me to be silent when I need to ask for help.
8. Father, you are the helper of the helpless, I am currently helpless; please help me Lord.
9. Father, let my life run as you have written concerning me.
10. Oh God of increase, please water the works of my hands and let success be my portion.
*PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS* 👇
I pray for somebody today, may you not be too arrogant to learn from your subordinates in Jesus name.
May you be patient enough to allow God bring about increase in all that you do in Jesus name.
Henceforth, I curse labour loss out of your endeavours in Jesus name.
There is power in unity, may you imbibe the spirit of unity to achieve greatness in your endeavours in Jesus name.
May you not be found competing with God by sharing in his glory in Jesus mighty name.
The fellow who stops learning is dead, may you not be dead to learning in Jesus name.
May you not skip a message the Lord has arranged to better your life in Jesus mighty name.
Your endeavours shall receive divine attention and success shall be your end result in Jesus name.
God bless you.
