SATURDAY IS NOT YOUR DAY OFF!
As an anointed minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ with a divine mandate to people, every opportunity to minister or serve is a divine treasure to deposit the goodness of God on them. Let's endeavor to avoid invitations to social events on weekends. These are subtle distractions designed to steal our focus and sap our anointing and faith for effectiveness, meant for ministry on Sunday. Let wisdom and discipline enable us to delegate faithful leaders to represent us while we spend all our day and time on prayer and the Word.

PROMPT, PROPER PREPARATION IS POWERFUL AND PRICELESS!

Saturday is not your day off. Saturday is the day to die. We die through intensive intercession and fasting, blended with God's infallible Word, then Resurrect and Manifest the power and glory of God in the service on Sunday morning, resurrection morning. Signs, wonders and miracles are at our fingertips and become natural manifestations even though they are supernatural! Saturday is NOT our day off. It's our day to SET OURSELVES ABLAZE FOR GOD and burn brighter than the noonday sun gloriously lighting up our dark world for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE WE DOING IN THIS WORLD? This is it. Hallelujah! In prayer we die to our will, our way and our want, and then rise and resurrect to fulfil the divine plans and purposes of God Almighty. We persist through fervent, forceful and fiery intercession that provokes uncommon revelations and heavy anointing to overrule strongholds and break stubborn yokes as we minister. Every time or day we minister, particularly the main service on Sunday and corporate meetings, is the day and time we resurrect and manifest , and then minister God's glory as an anointed representative of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Miracles signs and wonders are normal occurrences to those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High abiding under the shadow of the Almighty God.

Acts 4:31,33.
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. ...With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all

God loves us as much as He loved Jesus, and wants us and our ministry to flourish, prosper and be very successful, just like the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 35.27.
Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."

John.14.12
Jesus said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will also do; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

Prompt, thorough preparation is great faith that pleases God greatly. Prepare in prayer and the Word of God day and night before Sunday. Prayer and God's Word are the bedrock of a great life and ministry. Acts 6:4,7. Challenge yourself, your leaders and intercessors to spend the entire Saturday seeking the Lord, and then go to bed early on Saturday night, wake up and pray into the night for at least 3 hours in preparation for the amazing things God will DEFINITELY DO AS A RESULT at the Sunday service.

Luke.6.12 .
One day soon afterward Jesus went to a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

DILIGENT SEEKERS ARE PERSONALLY REWARDED BY GOD AND THEY KEEP INCREASING EVEN IN WILDERNESS OR DESOLATE CONDITIONS!

Ministry is war against the kingdom of darkness, and we triumph ALWAYS in the name of Jesus Christ. Bind and cast out unbelief, sickness and disease, demonic strongholds, oppressions, possessions, divorce and marital separation, bankruptcy and poverty, and then loose down repentance, the gift of righteousness, the gift of marriage, healing and deliverance from every oppression of the devil, and also loose down the gift of wealth upon your precious people. Do not eat any food before you minister. Fasting doesn't change God and His Word. However, it changes us. Fasting boosts and enhances our faith, focus, discipline, fervency and EXPECTANCY, the proof of faith..

Step boldly into the service on Sunday KNOWING that God's presence, approval and power goes with you. Exodus 33:14. Preach and teach God's Word boldly, you're speaking for God as His anointed vessel. God is working in partnership with you, and depending on you. In addition, teach on TARGET EVANGELISM empowered by TARGET INTERCESSION and SPIRITUAL WARFARE. (check out my message titled YOUR CONGREGATION NEEDS YOUR URGENT HELP TO BEAR MUCH FRUIT).
God truly wants you to equip and deploy or send His precious people out to bear much fruit, increase and multiply to glorify Him. John 15:5-12.

Then, as you lay hands on them in the name of Jesus Christ, God will honor your prayer of faith and wrought great miracles, signs and wonders, because you're seeking FIRST the advancement and welfare of the Kingdom of God. Matthew 6:33. It can never fail.

Acts.19.11
And God did special, unusual and extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,

A great revival is coming to your Church and ministry. However, God will not force it on you and your precious congregation. Your wholehearted cooperation is highly required and it's all in your spiritual preparation in PRAYER and GOD'S WORD. Set yourself ablaze for our Lord Jesus Christ, and you will experience remarkable salvation, healing, deliverance and miracles among your precious people and also in your life and family. Let's get to work.

Every service time or opportunity for your Church to gather and fellowship, particularly on Sunday, should never be taken lightly, but saturated with prayer and the teaching and preaching of the Word of God.

A ministry that will thrive and last should have PRAYER and the WORD as top priority, represented by fervent, humble and faithful, full time INTERCESSORY MINISTER and PREACHING MINISTER working together in harmony. Let it be an important goal for the ministry. As the ministry grows, work towards accomplishing full time ministry involvement for these two key ministry positions.

2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with sound, good teaching.

Acts.6.4
But we will continue to devote ourselves steadfastly to PRAYER and the ministry of THE WORD.

Acts.6.7
As a result, the word of God increased; and the number of the believers multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

THE BONDING, BLENDING, MERGING AND FUSION OF PRAYER AND THE WORD OF GOD IS THE SURE PATHWAY TO A GLOBAL MEGA REVIVAL THROUGH OUR ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE.

Hallelujah!

NOTE
Colossians 2:16.
So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

Believers shouldn't let anyone judge them for observing or not observing specific Old Testament food laws, festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths, because these were shadows pointing to the substance found in Christ; true spiritual life comes from Christ, not strict adherence to these external rules, which were meant to prepare for Him, not become requirements for salvation. Paul warns against deceptive legalistic teachings that focus on these rituals, emphasizing freedom in Christ.
