It appears as if commitment is not one of the strong points in the Church.

Over the past months, I have noticed a decline in the commitment of leaders in the church.

At the beginning of the year they started out strong and full of zeal, but by the end of the year, they are weary and some have even given up their posts.

The younger generation is choosing the broadway out of the Church.

There is a significant decline in attendance at prayer meetings.

I believe that prayer meetings are the engine of the Church and if the engine is malfunctioning then pretty soon the Church is heading for a crash.

This is the devil’s intention.

However, I am confident that the Lord will not allow His Church to fall because He said, “Upon this rock (the solid foundation of Jesus Christ) I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:15-18).

Therefore, in spite of how dismal the situation may appear it is best to continue to pray. Our prayers should be focus on a revival among the people of God.

There need to be a yearning for God. Our roots must be firmly anchored in the Lord. Sanctification by the truth of God’s Word is necessary.

In the latter days, there will be a purging of the Church.

Jesus told the lukewarm church of the Laodiceans that He will spew them out of His mouth because they were neither hot nor cold (Revelations 3:13-16).

God desires heat!

We must be hot in our commitment to Him. If there are pretense and hypocrisy the Lord will spew you out of His mouth.

If you are cold it means that you do not know the Lord as your Savior and so He stands ready to welcome you into the fold when you acknowledge Him as your Savior.

The Lord will not force Himself on anyone. You must be willing to receive your inheritance.

You must also be willing to pick up your bed and walk. 

God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? (Numbers 23:19)

Jesus said that the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church.

The Lord has spoken and so what the devil meant for bad the Lord will turn it into good.

I do not know how He will do it, but I know that His statutes are always right and His judgments are true and righteous altogether (Psalms 19:7-11).

After all, God is the great I AM. He embedded himself into our DNA before we were born.

So, how far can we run from God?

The Lord is excellent in all His ways and I trust Him to right whatever wrong that is occurring in His Church even now.

Hallelujah! Glory to God!

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. (Psalms 37:4-6)

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
