TOTAL DELIVERANCE FOR A SUCCESSFUL MINISTRY
Just as ordinary people need deliverance in order to fulfil their destinies, ministers of the gospel need total deliverance for a fruitful ministry.
Ex 1:13-14: And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with
rigour: Arid they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, In mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
The passage above aptly describes the state of many ministers today. The story of the children of Israel Is very instructive. The enemy made them to serve with rigour. They were made to go through hard bondage. Many ministers are suffering in silence. They try hard to conceal the ugly secrets of their struggles. There are problems in the ministry, problems within the family and problems in their personal lives which they cannot share with anyone.
Unfortunately there is no minister to minister to gospel ministers. Nobody seems to have taken up the responsibility of running servants of God through deliverance and get them off the hook of inherited and acquired bondage.
As a result of this situation, there are thousands of ministers who carry on ministerial assignments even when they are under serious bondage. The only problem is that many servants of God will rather conceal their problems rather than own up to the fact that they are under bondage.
The children of Israel did not sweep their bondage under the carpet; they brought it to the surface and cried unto God.
Exodus 2:23: And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
As a minister of the gospel. you must not keep mum; open your mouth and declare your need. Make your need for deliverance known to God. As soon as you cry unto God asking him to set you free, he will deliver you.
Exodus 2:24: And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Here then is the procedure for ministerial deliverance
1.
2.
3.
Recognise your bondage
Cry unto the God for deliverance
Receive total deliverance
There is a very powerful promise for ministers who have a deep desire for ministerial deliverance.
Obadiah 1:17: But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
To possess your possessions and help others do so you need deliverance. Deliverance is one ingredient that will flag off total transformation and efficiency in your ministry. If ministers of the gospel are expected to preach deliverance to the captives, we are expected to be the first partaker of the fruit of deliverance. The Bible says:
Luke 4:14: And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
Many ministers of the gospel can teach effectively on healing and salvation but they demonstrate ignorance concerning the subject of deliverance. A good number of men and women of God believe that the only group of people who need deliverance are witches and wizards. Ministers hardly understand the fact that deliverance from foundational bondage is as important as deliverance from witchcraft. The dark powers that are in charge of witchcraft are also the same dark powers that are in charge of foundational bondage in the lives of gospel ministers.
Many Pastors are in need of one form of deliverance or the other.
Many Bishops and General Overseers need deep deliverance.
A lot of people who have been ministers for an upwards of twenty years as well as those who can be regarded as veterans in the ministry are yet to undergo deliverance. Do you know that the fact that you are involved with the work of the Lord has not exempted you from foundational battles?
The battles of life come up on everybody. No matter what .your rank is in the Church, you have your own battles to fight. The battle of life often starts from the wombs. This can be referred to as inherited warfare. Inherited bondage gives birth to inherited warfare. Many ministers are busy suffering from oppression or bondage Inherited from the ancestors.
Unfortunately, most of the ministers of the gospel accumulated bondage early in life, only to struggle with same at the prime of their ministry. Strange enough, bondage generally begins unnoticed, but often snowballs into an explosive time bomb.
To make matters worse, most ministers of the Gospel are busy round the clock trying to meet up with ever increasing ministerial assignments. At the end of the day, the soul winner or the deliverer is busy reaching out to souls without anybody to reach out to them. While they attend to others, they leave out the urgent issues of their lives unattended to. They are instrumental to setting the captives free, while they end up fortifying
their own personal captivities.
Consequently, ministers of the gospel end up with the type of bondage that cannot even be found in the lives of ordinary members. This happens because there is a general assumption that gospel ministers have a sort of immunity. If there is any group of people who should be taught afresh on the basis of deliverance, it is ministers of the gospel. Those who are involved with the ministry should be brought together once in a while for intensive deliverance.
