TO THE YOUNG MINISTERS IN NIGERIA…
"HOW LONG WILL YOU MOCK ME?" You mount My altars, lift My Name, and speak My Word, yet your hearts are filled with strange cravings. You crave applause, wealth, and recognition, and you call this ministry? You say you serve Me, but your labors are for yourselves. Shall I bless your ambitions? Shall I anoint your self-promotion? "I WILL NOT!"
"YOUNG MINISTERS, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!" You will not walk in My power if you continue to yield to the cravings of your soul. Do you not know that your desires are altars? Each time you satisfy them, you build an altar to yourself. Yet, each time you refuse, out of reverence for Me, you raise an altar in the spirit where your flesh dies, and I reward death with life. But where are the altars of death in this generation? Where are those who will die to themselves?"
"YOUR CRAVINGS HAVE BECOME YOUR IDOLS!" You say you want revival, yet you seek it for your fame. You cry for influence, but your motives are corrupted. Your hearts are far from Me, yet you call Me LORD. You cannot lead My people while you are led by your flesh. Do you think I am blind to your ambitions? Do you think I am pleased with your sacrifices made to Mammon? "I AM NOT!"
"THE NATION CRIES FOR REVIVAL, BUT YOU ARE DISTRACTED!" Nigeria will not rise on the shoulders of ministers who crave the platforms of men but neglect the posture of My presence. You have replaced purity with performance, consecration with convenience, and sacrifice with selfishness. How can I trust you with My power when your hands are defiled? "REPENT!"
"THIS IS MY WORD TO YOU: DENY YOURSELF!" Before you can stand on My behalf, you must kneel before Me in death to self. Every uncrucified craving will one day crucify your ministry. Every selfish ambition will become the snare that destroys your calling. My strength is not for those who exalt themselves but for those who die to their own desires.
"THE TIME IS NOW, YOUNG MINISTERS OF NIGERIA!" If you will rise, it must be through death to the cravings that have consumed you. If you will lead, it must be through consecration, not convenience. If you will carry My power, it must be as crucified men and women, not as ambitious builders of your own kingdoms.
"HEED MY WARNING, FOR I WILL NOT TOLERATE STRANGE ALTARS!" Return to Me, tear down your idols, and take up your cross. Only then will I move in you and through you. I AM THE LORD, and I will not share My glory with another! My power will rest only on the crucified!"
