Word released on 7 July 2006

In January this year, at our CVC PRAYER POWERHOUSE and again at our CVC SPIRITUAL GROWTH Meetings , I had already released a Word that the Lord has clearly shown that this year, 2006, will be a special year for the saints. It will be a year of Selection and Validation. It will be a time when the saints will be graded so to speak, not as a judgment , but rather for Promotion. .This will not be based on how worthy we are as an individuals, nor will it be  about how much works we have done for Him or even about how hard we labour for the Lord. The yardstick will be our personal motivations on why we labour and the attitudes of our hearts as we do labour. Do we do what we do out of Love for He who first loved us, or do we do it for the rewards that He has promised for all those who would labour for Him? It will also be about how we discharge the work that we have undertaken. Do we do it out of and with all gladness of our hearts and for the abundance of all things?  Are we instead doing what we do it with a mumbling heart, grudgingly and murmuring all the time??

In March this year, the Lord also showed me that the month of September this year will be a pivotal point. He showed me a springboard and the saints who were selected and validated were running to and jumping on the board. As they did so, they were catapulted up into the air. However as i looked at this open vision, I was amazed to realise that the saints were being launched to different and varying heights. Some went very high, but others did not go very high. Same springboard, but yet different heights!! 

The Spirit then spoke in my heart, " how high they get catapulted too will depend on their weight. Their individual weight will depend on how much labour they have done for the Lord. The more work they have put in, the heavier they will be. The heavier they are, the higher will the springboard throw them higher". Suddenly it was made clear to me that God is fair and will not forget our labour of Love as we do labour for Him....how much we do and how hard we have laboured!! I was so excited and encouraged that I started to say to God, bring on more work! Immediately, the words of Hebrews 4: 9 & 10 spoke in my hearts. The caution there is not about how much work we do, but it is about what work He will give us to do.... His works and that we must learn to cease from our own works. Also that I will know His Works and the difference between the two, only in a relationship with Him. Also that we will only have that relationship if we enter into His rest . The reminder that it is not easy to enter into His rest, and that it will take effort as we are challenged to labour to enter into that rest.

This morning as I was praying, God reminded me of what He had said to me and specifically asked me to have it committed into writing as there are many saints who have ears, yet do not hear. So saints of the Living God........" those who have ear let them hear" and respond to what the Holy Spirit of God is saying to you!!
