We read in the opening passage of Luke chapter 18 about a judge, an inflexible, self-styled principled man. He executes his judicial office without favour to man or regard for God. The Lord uses him to illustrate how we are to always pray and not faint.

To faint means to give up. Many give up trying or trusting that God has their matter covered when they do not see the desired outcome on time. They either start looking elsewhere for help or succumb to depression, wearing a general negative outlook. Even the stern, self-possessed magistrate will budge when pressured through perseverance, we are assured. Which means, by staying put, we will receive what we asked for.

I don’t think you are going to find somebody who believes more in the power of godly outreaches than myself.

I was raised in a gospel ministry in which holding regular evangelistic programmes was more than a way of life, it was the very life itself. The life of God radiated through those programmes even though they were held with very modest means. The joy we derived from the experience was simply indescribable, apart from the glorious fulfillment of seeing people we invited getting saved.

The Holy Spirit did a marvelous work through those meetings. Men given to arguments when you attempted to share the gospel with them melted completely accepting Christ sometimes with tears running freely on their faces.

A pregnant woman once came forward to be prayed for during one of our luncheons in Ikeja. She was in tears. I was helping at the altar as our invited speaker made the call for salvation. I asked why she was weeping and she said it was about her father. There had been a serious family feud and she had sworn never to forgive him. So I asked what she was going to do next, and she said she was heading straight to his house to make up with him.

Both answer to prayer and divine healing require an atmosphere that is conducive. There is a certain air in which the Lord is not free to move, just as some of us cannot operate conveniently in an environment that is filthy or polluted.

The presence of certain people in a place of intercession, worship or ministration can serve as a hindrance to the operation of the anointing of God. Elisha felt bound or limited by the very presence of the Kings of Israel and Moab and would have canceled the meeting he was to have with them but for the reassuring presence of the King of Judah. Even so, he had to seek help through a godly minstrel. The Lord Jesus similarly found Himself in a limiting atmosphere in Nazareth because of the unbelief of the people there who were tied inextricably to mischief.

You will not have heaven’s best where the atmosphere is dominated by people operating a contentious or contrary Spirit. This is why you enter certain worship environments dry and leave completely drained. The Spirit is unable to embark on His work of healing and restoration where He is grieved.

Many of us imbibed this notion that you can have communion with the Lord anywhere His name is being mentioned. Just imagine saturating yourself with God’s anointing and grace in your quiet time by having some worldly music play softly in the background, even if it echoed the name of Jesus repeatedly!

We have often wondered why a godly person may sometimes not live to old age. Most of us desire and pray to live up to a very ripe age, which is fine and reasonable. Even so, it is good to realise that the entire gamut of a long life are essentially just a few years.

It is therefore not about how many days we have here on earth but what uses we put them to. A believer who walks in the spirit knows when his or her time is up, when their work is done.

The Book of 2 Kings, chapters 20 and 21 offer us some useful insight into this issue. God sends the prophet Isaiah to tell Hezekiah the king of Judah that he should put his house and affairs in order because his time was up.

Now Hezekiah did not consider himself an old man and he still had a lot of things laid up he was yet to do. He had goals set up and a residue of ambitions yet to be accomplished. He pleads with the Lord to give him more time. I find it impressive that even though a notable figure in God’s kingdom had been sent to him, he turns to talk to the Lord by himself. He had a standing relationship with God.

Isaiah has hardly gone beyond the ground of the palace when God sends him back. God gives him an additional 15 years to live.

From God’s perspective, I can say categorically that bad news is not always bad. It may sound like it from a purely human angle but represent mercy wearing a veil of time.

Looking bad for a time may be God’s masterstroke for your deliverance and freedom but we are often short-sighted and cannot see beyond our noses. God may arrange for certain battles to be lost. If you win every game, it may actually guarantee that you will lose the tournament. Some losses are essential for a strategic reset, an overhaul of the current dramatis personae. Weeping has been found to clinically bestow a clearer vision. And if you really think about it, which would you rather have, laughing first, or laughing last?

In any case, those who are surrendered to God know that they are called to worship God, uphold His goodness and unfailing love even in the face of bad news. They may have no immediate compression of why but will not point accusing fingers to the heavens either. They adopt an attitude of, “if this makes sense to Him, it should be alright by me”. And “If God allows this, He must have seen or known something I didn’t and don’t”.

From this, we can see how flawed much of our prayers are, when we petition heaven to save or exclude us from every pain and discomfort.

From God's perspective, I can say categorically that bad news is not always bad. It may sound like it from a purely human angle but represent mercy wearing a veil of time.

It seems that, coming to Christ and then falling away, is a trend. It is almost a law, except where the persons involved take especial care to ensure that their anchor holds firmly.

So, don’t let’s be surprised when a fervent individual, a church or a whole generation, falls out of line and starts on a roadway that completely contradicts what they once stood for. I have borrowed the title of this message from an article written by Watchman Nee the famous Bible teacher who saw a similar trend in the Chinese Christian culture of his time.

Nee observed that several institutions founded by men and women with godly intents all over China soon shed their Christian motivation to wear a purely secular outlook. Sometimes it occurred in the lifetimes of the pioneers; in several other instances this became the trend when a succeeding generation took over.

He cited the example of Harvard University which was founded as a training college for Christian missionaries and workers but transmuted in later years into an international centre for preaching atheism! I saw this for myself while in Cambridge. Most of the older Colleges, like St. John’s, Queen’s, Pembroke, and King’s, had chapels as a part of their ground space, except for some of the few eventual ones, such as mine, Downing College. That oral history tells eloquently about how, and for what purposes, the institutions were established, which eventually witnessed a complete reversal.

It seems that, coming to Christ and then falling away, is a trend. It is almost a law, except where the persons involved take especial care to ensure that their anchor holds firmly.

It takes humility and discipline to listen in order to be blessed when you are yourself a teacher.

Unfortunately, many who teach and preach God’s word are not worth listening to. And the basic reason is because they were not sent. The kingdom of God is built on defined designations and assignments. It is about playing divinely assigned roles. And heaven backs each role it assigns with the grace and anointing the task requires.

Unless someone is sent to fulfill a specific assignment, such as, for example, speaking, their output will not bless or heal. And that is simply because they are speaking out of their own heads.

A teacher of the word also needs someone from God to bless them. They may not hear anything particularly new in the cognitive sense, but they will be blessed. The same truth comes in a new way. The personality of the speaker adds some spice that tastes really good, refreshing both the soul and spirit.

By this time in the book of Second Kings chapters 18 and 19, the Assyrians had humbled most nations in the then known world, excepting Egypt, and a very few others they had yet to turn their attention to. Judah was one of them. And now they felt it was time to add Judah to their trophies of wins.

Instead of proceeding with their military campaign right away, the servants of the Assyrian king took to psychological warfare intended to weaken and demoralise the people of Judah, and Hezekiah their king. They requested the people to surrender and acquiece to their most humiliating demands willingly, pointing out how worthless it was to resist.

You need people who believe in you to surround you. Those who will vouch for you, stand for you, and say categorically that they know you. Unfortunately, many crowd up their lives with people with whom they share only a flitting relationship. Those who are there for the benefit, when your life can dispense such benefits.

Some share with you the wave of success in terms of material accomplishment and social recognition. The Bible describes this as the pride of life. Many who claim the Lord’s name are caught in such a wave. And it is just half the distance to the lust of the eyes and of the flesh. The three, namely, pride of life, lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, are a triplet. You find one somewhere because the others are present. And they are in display because the love of the Father is no longer in existence.

You will be a steadfast and committed person in the Lord before you can find those who will believe deeply in you, vouch for you and willingly make sacrifices for you. The best of such relationships are lifelong. In other words, you draw valuable relationships because you are yourself valuable. The Spirit of Jesus helps to sift our thoughts, motives and actions and therefore bestows us with the power to nurture enduring relationships.

Those outside the confines of our acknowledged community or commonwealth of faith have astounded even the Lord Himself with the sheer beauty of their belief and trust in the Lord. Whereas within the wall itself, you will find many being like the fig tree having a lush green foliage with practically nothing as touching fruit to show for it.

The leaves of some are dark green and shimmering. They have enviable and persuasive credentials of Christian identity. They are like the Levite and the priest in the parable of our Lord who found the dying traveller on the wayside but turned to look the other way. It was none of their business.

How on earth can anyone claim to serve the Lord without any milk of compassion? Cruelty and faith can definitely not coexist. Wickedness is the worst expression of rebellion against God, the evidence of a spirit that is lost and alien to the Lord.

On the other hand, now and then, you find one without the uniform, a complete foreigner, an outcast manifesting the fruit, such as you would consider exclusive to God’s children.
