© 2012 THE GOSPEL FAITH MISSION INTERNATIONAL All Rights Reserved. GOFAMINT Online Media Team Thank God for the vision that God has given to our General Overseer. And you  discover that this is a divine mandate. Theme is nobody that becomes anybody  that can fulfill destiny without receiving a helping hand. Even Jesus, when He  became God in human flesh. At a time, the mother told Him at a marriage that  the wine is finished. The mother knew the mandate behind the conception, and  Jesus said my time has not come. The mother turned to the servants, whatever He  tells you, do it. Instantly, Jesus started speaking. And the Bible says, this was the beginning of the  Ministry of Jesus . that means at that point in time, Jesus was not ready to do  anything but it was His mother that made Him to start the manifestation that  point in time. The vision that God has given to our father, if it is going to be  achieved is determined by the kind of helpers that he commanded. I want to  show us the three types of partners. Let me read I Sam. 14:6. What should be the  language of a true partner, the language of a true helper.  “And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, come and let us go  over to unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: (it may be that the Lord will  work for us: for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few” it is a  stupid exercise, for a young man taking another person going to the Army  barracks, I think it is suicidal, but this is the language of a kind of helper. If we  have them in the Church, we can rise up and tell our father this language.  Read verse seven – “And his armor bearer said unto him, do all that is in thine  heart. Turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart. If we can see  people, Regional Pastors, District Pastors, Assembly Pastors, workers and  members that can say to our Daddy, I am with thee according to thine heart. Look  at the statement, I am with thee, according to thine heart. One of our Ministers  was telling me sometimes ago that a group of people from the bank gathered  together and raise a billion naira and gave it to their General Overseer for the  work of God. Talk is cheap, but see this young man, he said though you are going to the camp  of the enemy, while the other men are already running away, I will follow you  according to your heart. Brethren, can we say Holy Spirit, raise up men and  women that shall say indeed, not politically, not diplomatically, but can say from  a true heart that Daddy Abina, I am with you according to your heart.   Brethren do you know that there is nothing we want to do that we cannot do in  GOFAMINT, if every worker will say it from a true heart. This young man  followed him to go and show themselves to the Philistines, brother, it was  unreasonable, it was unthinkable and it was a dangerous sacrifice. This is what is  making the Church of God to grow. Today, we can point to some Churches and  identify certain individuals that raised those Churches, those are the people that  can say, Baba, go I am with you according to your heart.  There are three types of Helpers. Number one – The unsolicited Helpers. These are  the people that you don’t solicit for their help. These are the four men that carried  the paralyzed man to Jesus. They went out of their way. If GOFAMINT must move  forward, God must raise these kind of people. Who will say man of God, we are  concerned, whatever you want to do, we are with you according to your heart.  This will require us to do a serious praying. There is also, commanded helpers . in  I Kings 17. We know the story. The Lord said I have commanded the ravens to feed  you. There are some helpers, when they are commanded by God, you don’t push  them. The ravens , were not pushed, nor monitored and were not persuaded.  There is another group, commanded but must be persuaded. When the Brook  dried up. God said, I have commanded the widow to feed you. But when the man  of God got there, he said, go and prepare something for me. The woman said, oga  you don’t know anything, this one that I am having is the last one, Oga, I love  myself, I love my child, so it is our last meal.  Though she was already commanded. This is something leaders should  understand. The fact that somebody is commanded by God, that does person may  not be willing to do it. The Spirit cannot lie. So Elijah demanded what God had  commanded. He said, go and bring me, and when that demand failed, he  persuaded. Leaders must understand this principle. People are commanded and  obeyed, have the ability to provoke the blessing of God through the man of God.  Our father in the Lord, the General Overseer, have you reached patriarchal  level,  where they pronounce a blessing and it stays.  But it does not come until a man of God provoke a blessing.  We must be ready to invest our resources in men with Divine Mandate to reap  from Divine Resources. Our poverty is as a result of our inability to respond to the  divine mandate if we see ourselves as the commanded helper, we must respond.
