PREREQUISITE FOR GOING UP HIGHER

I learnt something of great importance on RCCG's alter during the just concluded 60th Annual Convention. The theme of the week long programme is "Come up Higher". On the alter is a picture of a man trying to climb a staircase. That's not the point though. What I noticed was that he was backing the congregation. I've seen this picture over a thousand and one times but the Holy Spirit chose to minister to me through it.
According to the theme (Come up Higher), the Holy Spirit made it clear to me that; if I must go higher, I must be ready to:

Step out of the multitude!
You cannot move up in the midst of crowd. Even when you try so hard, your effort will be impeded and you will see yourself moving in snail's speed. When in a midst of crowd, you cannot express yourself. Even if you do, no one will hear because of the deafening noise that emanates from the surrounding people. That wouldn't have been a problem had anyone cared to listen -everyone is busy with his or her personal issues!
Coming out of crowd does not mean however, that you should ostracize yourself.
*It simply means; getting out of relationships that won't make God proud of you as His child.
*It means leaving that evil clique that directly or indirectly glorifies the Devil.
*It also means doing things in an unusual way as directed by the Holy Spirit.
*It involves trying new things.


Do you desire to go up higher? Then, match out of the crowd! Move way from distractions and stay focused. Don't get entangled with mixed multitude. Stand tall and match higher...

I'm on my way up! Care to join?
