The Lord is revealing to me that the situation you are going through is the catalyst that you need to motivate you to do the right thing that will bring spiritual order into your church, God wants you to acknowledge the season in which His son Jesus Christ died, but also in this season He resurrected.
Every time that God will be doing something new in your life there are also things that will begin to die in your life so that these same things may be able to give room to the new things that God wants to introduce into your life,
Our Lord Jesus Christ is addressed as being the season of Passover in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8, please I want you to notice that He is addressed as the season of Passover and not Easter.
In Matthew 26:17-18 says; that Our Lord commanded some of His Disciples to go prepare Him a place where He may keep the Passover with His disciples.
When ever this season of Passover comes, and in this month of April we will be entering in this season of Passover on the 8th of April.
This is a season that always introduces God's people to a lot of troubles in their lives and ministries, every thing that has secretly taken the place of God in your life will begin to die, and also those people that are not bearing fruit in your ministry or life will begin to be revealed (Judas betrayed His Master in this season of Passover as in Matthew 26:18-25) and those that are bearing fruitful will begin to be tested, to the extent that you your self will feel like you are loosing control over what God has given you (remember that Peter the faithful disciple also denied Jesus three times in this season).
The Lord said unto us this season of Passover is going to be a season of physical death (things, and an necessary relationships dieing physically), but it is also going to be the season of spiritual resurrection, this is a season of giving your offering as a token of honor, acknowledging and believing that even though things are going wrong (facing some tough times) but you trust God to be able to turn the situation around in to a positive testimony.
Jesus our Lord gave His life as an offering to God in this season, the children of Israel who were held captive in Egypt were released from their bondages after they had released their offering into the prophetic words of Moses in this season of Passover as in Exodus 12:1-18.
Peter was held captive in a jail in this season, but also God sent him an angel to release him out of the jail during this season of unleavened bread, being the season of Passover.
Before God destroyed the city of Sodom and Gomorrah He first tested Lot, Abraham's nephew to see if he was willing to separate himself from the wicked ways of these cities by keeping the Passover, when he kept the Passover by receiving God's angels into his home, which was his first sacrifice, by feeding them with unleavened bread which was his second sacrifice, by choosing to loose his two daughters for the sake of protecting the angels from the men of Sodom that wanted to rape them, which was his third attempt that revealed that he was willing to let every thing in his life die for the sake of honoring God in this season, this is when God also decide to deliver him from the judgment that was passed against these cities, as in Genesis 19:1-13.
We will be keeping this season of Passover on the 8th and the 9th of April live online, so if you can Join us because this will be your time to transform you dieing situations into God's resurrected testimony.
