KNOWING GOD IS NOT ONLY BY READING SCRIPTURES; THERE IS AN ENCOUNTER WHERE HE MAKES HIS DWELLING IN YOU
What is happening to you now? You need God to give you knowledge and understanding. The knowledge of what is written cannot comfort you, but the presence of God can comfort you. The Scriptures do not comfort, but God comforts. God does not separate Himself from His works. Faithful witnesses, God does not separate Himself from His works. We do not say these are the works of God without God in them, it has to be God first, then the works “Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all things shall be added unto you.” God first, then the works. Listen to this prayer: “For His goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” He does not say, “I will follow His goodness and mercy,” but because of who He is, His goodness and mercy have to follow.
It is God first, then all things follow. But in the world, you look for the things of the world. You look for material things, you look for these things. But these things are the benefits of your salvation. They should benefit because of salvation. They have to be produced by the God in you, and if they are produced by the greatness of God in you, they will remain and they will not bring pain, they will not bring sorrow to you. Christ has to be the foundation of your life. If the foundation is Him, “Upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” That is why many believers today demonize everything. Everything they see, they say it is a demon. When they are sick, they say it is a demon.
A messenger of Satan was sent to Paul to buffet him, and he said, “Concerning this matter I prayed thrice,” and God said, “In this matter I am not going to answer you, but My grace is sufficient for you.” It is God who is working in all things, but without the knowledge of God, you will say it is a demon. You will say Paul has sinned. What is the messenger of Satan doing in the flesh of Paul, and you say Paul has sinned? Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The truth is, your body is not yours; it belongs to God. When the Lord touched me and I was left with a hole in my head, when I looked in the mirror, I realized I did not have hair, and the voice said, “It is the thumb of God.” Without choice, I fell on my knees and asked God to forgive me. That was in 2008, when I was still a teacher.
From there, God started to reveal Himself through revelations and dreams until, in 2009, on the 7th of August, I woke up in the morning and there was a resignation letter. I knew that I did not have a choice. When you say this to people who only have the mind of carnality, they will not understand. A resignation letter was there. I signed it and I took it to the headmaster. He called the deputy, and they called the HOD and the senior teacher, and they tried, but it was not in my power. It was by the revelation. If there is revelation, it is like the response that is said to you. Even when your mind tries to object to the will of God, it is like there is more that is happening, and without choice, you follow the order of the Spirit. I realized that I am a prisoner.
I gave them the resignation letter and I took the copy myself. As the days passed, I went to the region, and our region was here in Kanye. I came here and I realized they had not yet submitted it because they had refused to stamp it so that I could submit it myself, and they kept it at Hebron. They objected because they had already received a call that he wants to resign. They can attach you to the performance and say you will not lose this job. They tried to say, “Apply for sabbatical leave,” but I am a prisoner of Christ. I am not a pastor because I fell from a tree. I am not a pastor because I am hungry. But when it comes to professions, I am one of the greatest. I am not ministering the Gospel because of hunger. I am a prisoner, and I do not have a choice to serve God.
That which I thought was mine was taken away from me. I was ripped off, not by man but by God Himself, so that He can dress me. I am not preaching because I am hungry. He chose me, and I did not choose myself. It was not even a desire in me, but the day He touched me, He caused me to realize, “You are not of yourself, you are Mine.” That is why, after the hand touched me, it was on the 29th, and the following day was Independence Day, the 29th of September, on Monday, I left the house and went to school. Some said, “This might be migraine.” Some said it is witchcraft. But I said, “No, it is God.” They gave me permission to go to the hospital, and I went to Gaborone because my siblings were staying abroad. When I got there, they said, “We will take you to the hospital.” I said, “No, it is disobedience before God,” because my head had a hole and there was no pain.
They said I should stay there for a week because, according to them, I was sick. On the third day, my sister saw the teacher and she said to me, “There is hair that is coming out, but it is like the hair of a cat.” And I said to her, “I do not have the hair of a cat,” and I shaved the whole head. What shocked me was when she spoke about the hair, she said, “Now the hole is filled.” How do these things happen? To a carnal man, you will not understand. Even they themselves did not understand what happened to my head. God will always give signs that He is working far beyond what you can ask or imagine. According to those who practice medicine, they always have a reason behind what is happening. You want me to explain to you what was happening?
I can only tell you it is God because I do not have words to entice you to believe what is happening. The head was leveled, but the hair now was not what I desired because that was not my hair. I shaved the whole head, and the next time the hair that came was like that of the old. And I knew I am a prisoner of Christ. I do not have a choice. He has taken hold of me, and I cannot escape. Wherever I may try to run, He is there. David said, “Lord, where can I go from Your presence? When I try to ascend into the heavens, You are there. When I try to make my bed in Sheol, the place of the dead, You are there. When I try to ride on wings above the seas, You are there. Where can I go?” That is why, when it comes to serving God, some have choices, but I do not have a choice when it comes to serving God.
Let it be known on this day that we celebrate our spiritual birthday, I do not have a choice when it comes to serving God. When I speak, when I minister, it is Christ in me, for I do not have a choice. At times, I look at people who say they are ministers and they can compromise the way of the Lord. How is it possible that you compromise the voice that thunders so much? His voice thunders. I do not have a choice but to minister what I see and hear in His presence. When you reason with me, saying, “The Bible says,” I do not have a choice. Yes, it is written by God, but remember, I am a letter which is not written by ink. I am the letter of the Spirit. If you read the Bible, then you receive the revelation; you can read me and receive the revelation.
[1 Corinthians 3:1] AMP
“However, brothers and sisters, I could not talk to you as to spiritual people but only as to worldly people dominated by human nature.”
He is speaking to the church, addressing them as worldly people, non-spiritual people, only dominated by nature, not the Spirit, not the power, not the Word, but ruled over by human nature. When it comes to church, many believe that as long as the Bible is read, as long as we pray, and as long as we sing, we are offering a service unto God. That is human belief. That is how people who are dominated by human nature observe and say, “It is a service unto the Lord.” They think healing, deliverance, and prophecy are what God requires from them. But Jesus said, “You prophesied in My name and you delivered in My name, but in that day I will say to you, ‘Away from Me, you evil doers, because I never knew you.’” It means it was a form of a church, a form of a service, which was not known by God.
Knowing what is written does not qualify you to be a minister, for a minister is by revelation, and the Scriptures testify, and you also come testifying the same by the Spirit. COVID came, and God said, “Tell them none of them will die. Touch not My anointed and do My sons no harm.” Divine, who died in the church? God is not a boy. When God speaks, He performs His Word. Letlhakane West, God spoke: “Kgosi Difemo, no one will die in this place until we come back.” Because you are saying people are dying, we speak in the presence of God and we delight in the Lord. No one died there in those months, though there were many who got sick and those who had accidents.
Knowing God is not only by reading. There is an encounter. God wants to personalize Himself in you. When you say He is in me, it is not only by reading Scriptures. Knowing what is written in the Bible does not mean God is in you. There is an encounter where He makes His dwelling in you, and your dreams and everything about you are all about God. You cannot even control it, but according to human understanding, you have to know that you should control. The church of the Corinthians: “I do not address you as spiritual people, but I am addressing you as worldly, non-spiritual people, those who are still dominated by human nature.” These are things that some believers do not want to hear. It is like Galatians when Paul said to them, “You foolish Galatians, who bewitched you?”
Some do not want to hear this, but the church, the Galatians, they heard God when Paul was speaking. But us, we become offended and say, “How can a man of God say we are foolish?” But the truth is, you are not the Galatian church. There is a Word from God which is said to you now. The Galatians received the Word and the command, even the rebuke from Paul, because he knew who they are. We have our rebuke. We do not perfect ourselves; there is the One who prepares us. For the tree to be fruitful, it has to be pruned. The Father rebukes those whom He loves. Where there is love, there is productivity. Love produces. Love never fails. There is no way you can confess Jesus as the Lord and you are still dominated by human nature.
Hallelujah!!
