ATTACKING THE ENEMY OF YOUR CALLING
Isaiah 59:19
Specifically designed for ministers. To be used when:
Things are not moving in your ministry.
There is a satanic gang-up in your ministry.
Your ministerial life is being attacked by disappointments, frustrations and division.
Signs and wonders completely elude your ministry. You are unable to focus your attention on what God
expects you to do.
You want to sharpen your spiritual sword.
You must be wary of the fact that the enemy is all out to frustrate your calling, but the moment you resist him through aggressive prayer, God would be at hand to bail you out.
2 Timothy 4:s: “But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an Evangelist, make full proof of your Ministry.”
In the epistles, Paul the Apostle often encourages his readers to fulfil their Ministry e.g. Col. 4:17. In his letter to his son Timothy, he gives him three keys to a successful ministry.
Key 1: Watch thou in all things. Jesus said we must watch and pray (Matt. 26:41). This means there is no room for slumber or resting. We must be alert. The Bible says, “be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). We have to make sure we do not give the devil a foothold in our lives. We must examine ourselves daily whether we are still in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). We have to live holy and blameless lives because our God is holy.
Key 2: Endure afflictions. Persecution will always arise because of the work of God. Jesus said, “in the world you shall have tribulation but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world” (John 16:37). This is a promise of tribulation and affliction, but we must bear it and encourage ourselves so we can grow unto maturity (James 1:4 NIV)
Key 3: Do the work of an evangelist. Whatever the Lord has called you to do, make sure you labour to fulfil it. You might not be an evangelist,. Your Ministry could be teaching, singing or church planting. Whatever it is, you must work at it. You must take it more serious than you take your secular job.
In the parable of the unfaithful servant (Matthew 24:45-51), we see a careless man who did not fulfil his call being thrown where there was weeping and gnashing of teeth!
Beloved, as we use these three keys, I pray the Lord will fortify our inner man with fire so we can attack the enemies of our calling.
