Frustrating the Liberties

Hey precious child of God! Hope you had a swell week! I did too. I’m here to share quite a sensitive and challenging part of my life.

So fulfilling and yet overwhelming as well!At the end of 2019, I started experiencing quite rare levels of revelation. Early 2020, with the usher of prayer, the miraculous became so easily available, and this 2021—yes this 2021; my sweet Lord; words fail me!

I have never reached a place so deep, encounters so spectacular, and yet I know, that it’ll all be different next year. I wonder which words I’ll use to describe the dimension then. I write this not to excite you, or impress you by how ‘deep’ or shhhhhpireeet–filled I am.

I write from a place of compassion, of exhorting, and warning, as I know this is where you could be coming!Following those encounters, I began getting overwhelmed; I found myself writing songs on a daily. I found myself dreaming, having uninvited visions; both closed and open —I tried to record all I could, and I tried to tell God to take it a notch lower…

There’s a particular day I was praying with two friends. And suddenly God goes like, “Anoint those two!”

I jumped out of my skin with my hands akimbo, and asked God;

“Who?—Me? Anoint who? Them?”

(Disobedience)

“Say this and this and that… And this and the other…”

(God continued downloading instructions in my mind. Me as me…I kept looking around for someone he could be talking to)

“…and then this and that and this!”

Eh eh! Is this guy serious?I continued to question and bring up excuses!

“There isn’t any anointing oil even!” I talked back.

I felt God go mute and give me this sort of look… like a parent would if you told them you were going to think about a thing they wanted you to execute right away!

I, quickly—after struggling, walked up to the lady whose house we were praying from and asked if she had anointing oil in the house! I hoped she’d say there wasn’t! EH!She simply nodded her head and dashed out the living room!She returned with a huge fresh new green glass bottle filled with oil! There was no escaping it this time! I swallowed my pride, and waited for ‘the tongues to cool down.’

I told the two beloveds what God had asked me to do. Quickly, with a deep hunger like the one Jesus had after 40 days and nights of fasting, they fell to their knees desiring to have it quenched. We tarried in tongues for a few more minutes.

Suddenly, the room changed. The atmosphere was stirred. Heaven opened. The spirits of just men made perfect were all present! The living room, clad with red artifacts and white & black curtains suddenly was raided by the Throne room!The Lord guided my every step.

The oil was stirred. I’d see it had caught fire; just like the tongues on the apostles in the upper room;

“NOW!” I heard God say. I moved. Both in great fear and reverence. Then as I spoke the words I had heard over the gentleman, he began shaking terribly! After the second pouring, he flew aback and fell to the ground, trembling even much more aggressively!

(The power of the Holy Ghost—!)

I walked up to the other lady…My mind was wondering what was going on! God, I could hear asking me to stay focused! I tried. The second VIP was expectant as well…Two pourings and she was falling hard onto the white floor. It’s like these were both being electrocuted by a great measure of voltage! They were both loud.

Trapped in a realm I can’t describe. I quickly closed the olive oil, and knelt as well. I couldn’t stay standing. This ground was HOLY—Heaven applauded! Most definitely because an apostle and a prophet had been ordained and released! What a night it was! I shiver whenever I think of it.

Three days later, the same thing happened to another gentleman who owns a BIG business. God had kept telling me about Him. I carried the oil. He was humble enough to wait for me even when I arrived late. I told him what God had asked me to do. I didn’t see him question my age or whatever. He knelt down and received…

Soon, temptation became common to me. The overwhelming aside, thoughts were running to and fro in my mind. ‘THEY OWE YOU BIG TIME’ ‘THEY HAVE TO SOW SEED’…

Now, just because you did something great for someone doesn’t necessarily elevate you to a position where you pull the strings in their lives. This is spiritual maturity. The third temptation of Jesus by the devil was for him to do something foolish but such spiritual maturity saved Him.

The devil was asking Him to cast himself off the top of the temple, after all the Scriptures say angels would catch him. Do you know what that sounds like? It sounds like this; ‘Go and have sex before marriage; after all the scriptures say there is therefore now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.’

God has given you so much liberty and freedom but you must be wise not to abuse that freedom! The Mystery of Temptation sermon by Apostle Grace Lubega opened my eyes to that and now I realised that any great christian can be tempted the same way Jesus was!

Are you the pastor who when after praying for men are asking for money? You are selling a gift God gave you freely! Perhaps the first time one gave you the money, it was out of a place of appreciation, or God’s leading!

Don’t turn it into a tradition and make the word of God of no effect! Let God Himself tell that person to do whatever He wants Him to do, but don’t go about cajoling! You’re instead going to replace God with men as your ultimate source of provision.

Are you the rich taking advantage of the poor? Are you the anointed puppeteering your followers? Because at some point I’d talk to any of these three people expecting them to respond to me a certain way as if I was the best thing that happened to their lives!

God taught me humility! “Kakana,” He said. “When Samuel anointed David he never asked for ‘seed’!”

When I heard any news about them, I felt like my advice had to be taken extremely in high regard. God taught otherwise; “Say it, and let me work with the person to perform the Word I said through you.”

Jesus told the devil, during the last temptation, concerning abuse of his liberty (or freedom); “Do not TEST the Lord thy God!” Testing means ‘to prove’ in this point. Other versions say ‘Do not TEMPT the Lord thy God’. Tempting means to provoke someone to do something wrong.

It is therefore wrong for God to prove Himself!His word is enough to be truth. If He says by His stripes you are healed and then you ask Him for a sign; that is ‘tempting Him’. You’re frustrating the liberty of health He has already granted you! It’s like a parent paying your fees and giving you a receipt and then you say ‘I want to see a picture of you paying the money at the bank—a video infact!!!!’

When you have to make God prove a point, you are testing Him. That’s unbelief! He only told us to test him in the tithes…

You have to be in position to read about the red sea splitting and believe! God is not a boy to lie. You don’t have the right to say, “First split River Nile and I’ll believe!” You are frustrating the liberty of belief that He has given you. So many out there do not have an opportunity to believe the God you know;

So; are you a cell leader overseeing 50 people? How do you talk to them? Do you do with love or with a master-slave tone in your mouth just because you’re above them? Are you a parent who for your children to eat they are supposed to do a certain thing!

Do you feel you’re doing them a favor feeding them; remember they are a gift from God! I’m not telling you not to discipline your children. But you’ve been given the liberty to be their parent. Parents provide for their children! If you play with that responsibility, you’re playing with that liberty.

Be careful; your children might decide to go get another parent from the world. They might continue calling you ‘mom’ or ‘dad’, but they won’t acknowledge you as their provider as they’d be receiving from the neighbors or relatives. That alone strips part of your purpose as their parent. This however doesn’t give you children (if you’re reading this) to be dishonorable and foolish towards your parents…

Don’t think because you can sing awesomely you deserve to be on that stage! Just because you have the Senior Pastor’s contact doesn’t mean you should text him about finding out where the best potatoes on the village are sold! These are some examples of us abusing the freedom God has given us.

To ‘frustrate’ means to ‘disappoint’. Don’t disappoint the authority or assignment or gift God’s given you.

I’m still learning on this journey. And I hope you learnt much from this sharing as well. May God guard you and hold your hand. He said the waters wouldn’t consume you in Isaiah 43:2. This won’t overwhelm. He’ll help you adjust accordingly.

He is with you!
