The LORD spoke to me, on 3rd, on 3rd of January, 2018 in a dream about a mission into the vineyard. I saw myself in a meeting of the LORD beside a river, there was, a river flowing by my side but here we were gathered in the name of the LORD JESUS under the blessed anointing and presence of the HOLY SPIRIT. So I saw myself preaching the gospel in this place and speaking by the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT, I read from the book of Mathew 7:13-14 And I was speaking to this blessed group saying, " ..Enter through the narrow gate ..." in that order, then appeared one that translated my message into Swahili and so CHRIST was made known and repentance preached.
On that third day of the first month of the year 2018, the LORD GOD Almighty Himself handed to me the gospel , He placed in my mouth the words from the BOOK of life to speak to His people , and point them to the way. The WAY. And so today we are going to lay a foundation of the message ENTRY THROUGH THE NARROW GATE
The book of Mathew 7:13, this is what I found written:
Mathew 7:13
New International Version
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
So right away we can begin by seeing that there are two types of entrance, one is through the NARROW gate, and the other , through the wide gate. Anyhow, both are entrances but you see also where the LORD places emphasis; on the one that has to be through the narrow gate and that is where we will begin this conversation. Therefore those you hear talk of the LOST must then be referring to them that walk on the WIDE road and they are many. This then already points out what one should look out for in identifying the narrow and the broad road.The signs to help one be guided in distinguishing between the narrow and wide road.That by simply looking at the two roads , the two ways, you can tell by their width, that one is for the popular and the other is for the redeemed and unpopular. Hallelujiah!
The book of Isaiah 35:6-8 captures this beautifully: All those challenges you encounter on that path, the burning sand, the dryness and lack of water are met with a vertical solution. This is among other things a confirmation, that, there is approval from above to go ahead on, in this path because it has a sure destiny.
Then will the lame leap like a deer,
and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams in the desert.
7 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.
8 And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness;
it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
9 No lion will be there,
nor any ravenous beast;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,
Another important thing you see here is the aspect of wisdom. Those that walk there are wise. They rely on the counsel from above to be able to navigate themselves , propel their walk ahead and remain faithful not turning left or right.In fact it is this wisdom that in the initial stages helps them to even recognize this highway,as distinct from the others. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. That you have to even find this path, bespeaks of standards of holiness of GOD that only those helped by the Holy Spirit can indeed achieve. In other words, a person can only walk on this path after they have met the LORD. This then becomes the path of the wise virgin who had their lamps full of oil. This is the path of Increase.
Path Of Increase
Among the things connected to the wisdom of the hour to identify and walk in this path, is the aspect of the increase in the knowledge of GOD and the anointing of the HOLY SPIRIT, this leads a church a stature that befits those that walk in this path. The church that was mature remember in Mathew 25, was able to enter because her oil was full and when the groom arrived, she went into a future of eternity with GOD. This anointing is what guides one all the way in this highway,it is the counsel of GOD and a voice that moderates the pace on this path.
Isaiah 30:21-22
21 Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left. 22 And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, "Be gone!"…
In their increase and preservation of the oil of the anointing which is essentially the wisdom of GOD, those that walk on this way are able to keep in step with what is important to the LORD. They are able to fine tune their walk because , He will constantly speak with them about fixing areas that need repair so they can maintain their competency and worthiness to be walkers on this path.
This then must be a way on which sin is discarded and righteousness of God inculcated into the spiritual walk of those who journey here. It is the way of redemption through the cross and the blood.
The Way Of Unity Of faith
Ephesians 4:11-1311 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
It is worthy noting that, with distribution of gifts and callings to the church ,Christ aimed at establishing a church that matures and is a mirror replica of Himself. That church posses the image, wisdom and nature of CHRIST, and so can only be in Christ Jesus. Established on the revelation of CHRIST, she can finally have a future to look forward to. As it was with the wise church, that filled their lamps with oil, so it is with church that observes her duties in the five fold ministries to catapult herself to maturity that enables her to walk in Christ, to dwell in Christ,who is also the way, the truth and the Life.In other words, only a mature church in faith is able to survive a walk in the highway, the narrow way that leads to life. A church wise enough to observe her callings.
And so on this highway, on this narrow path, she will know the voice of GOD as demonstrated through the five fold ministry and this will keep her safe and free from the ferocious beasts(which are actually rogue servants and their doctrines) that aim at disabling their hard purchased faith.
I am the WAY The TRUTH And The LIFE
So now, finally we can see that way we are talking about here, the way we are discussing here is a living highway. Hallelujiah! It is a way that has life in itself , so only those that have that life in them can walk therein.
John 14:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
As captured in the above scriptures, among the benefits of being truly born again and walking and living in CHRIST is the assurance of direction, life and destiny.
The LORD bless you as you dwell in the LORD JESUS and maintain your walk in this narrow path.
