(Continued from last week)

WHAT someone had done is what we are repeating. For instance, the electricity we are using today was discovered by somebody inspired by God but since it was discovered, we are only comfortable in using it, no more new discovery. We are only consumers and not producers.

When you look at yourself, everything you put on is produced by someone else, implying that if we start removing from your body what is not produced by you, you will go naked. This is why when you see somebody who is doing a new thing, you begin to condemn saying, this is not the way we are doing It; we have never seen this kind of thing; it is evil; it is from satan. You forget that you are created to make a difference.

It is purely tradition or convention to say, ‘This is my spiritual father’. Only God is the spiritual Father. We are all working towards perfection; no one is perfect. I can stand before you today as your pastor only because my strength is greater than my weakness, not that I don’t have weakness.

We need to be raw - to hear from God what to do and how to do it. Our case can be likened to that of the father of the demon-possessed boy. He cried out to Jesus, “Lord! I believe, help my unbelief”. The belief he’s talking about is the traditional one, the way and manner his people are used to, the association he belonged to. We have been held back by our association with our friends, religion - we need to step out and take God by His Word.

Now open your lips and begin to release yourself from the spirit of tradition. Release yourself from the spirit of religion. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
