This year has been declared to be our year of
So in this prophetic month of Total Recovery I will explain the keys that we will use to access our new height.
By scriptural understanding, God has destined His people, the church to a new height. Looking at Isaiah 2 vs.1-2, The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
In the above scripture, God showed us with a clear understanding that He has destined the Church to a new height this year. However to access this new height God has established for the church, we need Kingdom keys. These keys are what enhance our access to the new height. The
Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
So for the purpose of this teaching, the first key we will be dealing with is THE KEY OF LOVE.
Our love for God is the first key to accessing our new height. Our first love is the foundation for our first work. Our Fervent love for God is a key for a new height. The bible is full of people who have experience great height in God through Love for Him. To fail from your love is to fail from a great height
In 1 chronicles 29: 3, Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house
It is David’s love for God that took him from where he was looking after his father’s sheep to a great height as the King of Israel in his lifetime.
In 1 king 3: 3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
Solomon learnt from his father David, the true power of true love. His Love for God established him as a king after David his father and elevated him to a higher height.
As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Showed us that through his love for God, he also experienced a higher height
Anything that will separate you from the love of God will stop you from accessing your new height in Christ Jesus. Holy Spirit is a boaster of the love of God in our heart. He is our booster for accessing higher height through love.Romans 5: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
We must engage with the Holy Spirit to take us to our new height. In Revelation 2: 5-7 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
This scripture made us to understand that our first love for God is our first work. Anything we do in the house of God is secondary to our love for Him. Until we understand this vital key of Love in the kingdom, we will not experience our new height completely.
Our first Love for God is the first key to our new height. A lot of Christians mistakes our service in the house of God as our first Love. In the sight of God, our first love is our first work for Him and not our church work. We have put our church work before our first love for God. The key to experiencing this love is to repent and understand we have gone astray in our first love for our God and our father.
Our first love for God is when we yearn for Him, desire Him above anything in our life, desiring always to be in his presence, and always spending quality time with him, doing His will always with a pure and sincere heart.
In the book of revelation 2.vs 5 above, Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent, the key to returning to our first love is Repentance. We need to repent and come back to Him. This is possible when we understand that deep down our heart, our love for him has grown cold, and we have taken our work in his house as our first love for Him.
2) KEY OF GRACE
Great people are not necessary outstanding people. They are people endured with grace. The qualification for greatness is on the ticket of grace.
In 1 Corinthians 15: 10, But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
We see Paul, one of the greatest men in the kingdom had access to grace and he traced the height he attained to the grace of God upon him. It shows that you cannot receive grace from God and suffer disgrace.
So the more grace you access, the more height you attain. It is grace that turns our effort into effect. Therefore to experience great height in the Kingdom, we must go for grace. We must ask God for grace. To ask God for grace for a new height, we must seek Him via knowledge and prayer
In Hebrew 4:16, Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
We understand that prayer is the room where grace is manufactured, but humility is the platform to having grace in our life.
3) KEY OF SERVANTHOOD
In the book of Matthew 20: 2, And when he had agreed with the laborers’ for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
We understand that servant hood is a requirement for leadership. Only kingdom servants are leaders.
God is looking for servants. Those who have a heart to serve, so that he can take them to new heights. God can only anoint people with a heart to serve. Service in the house of God is our ladder to a new height.
Only servants are fit for oil of new height. Servants in the kingdom are those who have a heart to serve God and people. We are all sons of God, but in the kingdom, it is the sons who have a heart to serve are ranked highest .A heart of service will qualify your head for oil.
If God sees your heart of servitude, you head cannot miss the oil. The heart of service always precedes the head that God will anoint for a new height. If it is in your heart to serve, your head cannot miss the oil.
God sees your heart before he drops the oil on your head. If your heart is not fit to serve, your head cannot be fit for oil. (Anointing)
In the house of God, instead of looking for a position or a particular seat among people, look for service group in the church where you can serve with all you heart. Fighting over a particular seat in the church cannot give you access to your new height, rather it stop you totally, so in this month of Total Recovery, it is time to enlist for a heart of servant hood in the kingdom for it is a requirement for a new height.
In the
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
My prayer for you is that God will bless you as you put into practise what the Spirit of God is saying to the churches. Remain blessed, and see you in your new height
