The 12 Pillars of our Commission

Pillars of Destiny

The 12 Pillars of our Commission

 

 God commissioned me with a Word of Faith ministry to my generation. Remember Paul said,

“…if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” (1 Cor 14:8)

By the help of the Holy Ghost I have classified the Word of Faith He has committed into my hands into the specific areas of emphasis, in direct response to Isaiah 40:6,

“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry?”

I have named these 12 areas of emphasis as the 12 Pillars of our Commission. We have stood firm upon these twelve stones and they have resulted in breakthroughs – both for the ministry and all that are partakers of the same grace with us. We have crossed Jordan into power, bearing the ark of liberation and have experienced amazing testimonies ever since this commission was handed down in May, 1981.

Here are the 12 stones, after the order of Joshua 4:1-8, 20-24.

1. FAITH (1 John 5:4; Eph. 6:16) “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” – 1 John 5:4
2. THE WORD (John 1:1-12; Heb. 1:3) “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” – Heb. 1:3
3. THE SUPERNATURAL (Ps. 82:5-7; John 3:8) “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” - John 3:8
4. THE HOLY SPIRIT (Acts 1:1-8; Isaiah 10:27) “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” – Isaiah 10:27
5. PROSPERITY (3 John 2; Ps. 35:27;      Zech. 1:17) “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” - 3 John 2
6. PRAYER (1 John 5:14) “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us.” – 1 John 5:14
7. HEALING (Isaiah 53:3-4; Jer. 8:22; Matt. 8:17) “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” – Matt. 8:17
8. WISDOM (Prov. 24:3-4, Isaiah 33:6) “And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.” – Isaiah 33:6
9. SUCCESS (Joshua 1:8-10) “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” – Joshua 1: 8
10. VISION (Prov. 29:18, Jer. 29:11) “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” - Prov. 29:18
11. CONSECRATION (Hebrews12:14; 2Tim. 2:19) “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are his.  And let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. ” - 2 Tim. 2:19
12. PRAISE (2 Chro. 20:20-22;  Ps. 67:1-7; 149:1-9)“And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah: and they were smitten.” - 2 Chro. 20:22

KEY TO DISTINCTION

Discipline is key to distinction.
Discipline means following the straight and narrow path.
Distinction accommodate only few who have subjected themselves to paying the price for it.
Distinction is not cheap to come by.
Discipline means refusing to take it easy.
Those who take it easy will be eased out of the race.
Taking it easy is path to destruction. Matt.7:13,14; Mic.2:10

THE WORD & PRAYER

Naturally, the two elements that makes fire are “wood” and “fuel”.
Scripturally, the word is wood while prayer is fuel.
When the two are combined fire results on the altar.
By assignment, it is the duty of priest to generate the two.
The priest is custodian of the word (Lev.6:12,13 & 27) and is an ordained intercessor.
By the word he feeds the people (Mic.6:9; 7.14) similarly by prayer he keeps them warm, and also keeps satan away since he cannot survive a hot environment.
Jesus, our High Priest came to establish the order – He will pray at night and fed the people at day time.
The apostles continued with the same principles – Acts.1:14-26; 6:4
By feeding God’s people with the word, we get them stabilized and immovable by the enemy and by prayer we keep them warm and unreachable by the devil.

NO 1 STEP TO ADVANCEMENT

Appreciation is application for acceleration. 

It is appreciation of God that leads to appreciation of man.
You may not have arrived at where you desire to but you are not where you use stop be.
Appreciate God for where you are in anticipation for where you ought to be.
Thanksgivers can never be tied to the same spot.
You’ll never come back to meet a thanksgiver where you left him.
Thanksgiving is a lift,
Thanksgiving is appreciation in anticipation of acceleration.
Thanksgivers are never murmurers and so they can never be destroyed.
Thanksgiving inspire hope and instigates faith and establishes trust.
If you don’t must to suffer depreciate engage in appropriation.
Thanksgiving is the glide on which you move forward.
