SHILOH 2025: BREAKING NEW GROUNDS

Introduction

Revelation 1:10; Hebrews 3:1

There are encounters and there are encounters.

All breakthrough stories is orchestrated by the supernatural. 

Making the Kingdom of God real on the earth is the supernatural.

Every child of God is born into the family of the supernatural, John 3:7, 8. It is the reality of every child of God to operate in the supernatural, Isaiah 8:18; Mark 16:20. But they can only command the supernatural by the word, Isaiah 11:1. We don’t cry for the supernatural; we lay hold on the appropriate word to command signs. 

Stir up the mentality of the redeemed for the supernatural. 

Meekness is the gown that gives access to the banqueting hall. Jethro was Moses’ mentor. Without meekness, you cannot partake of any Kingdom mystery, 1 Peter 3:4. You can’t be teachable without meekness. 

Charge them to take responsibility to locate the appropriate word, Psalm 107:20.

The journey to the supernatural begins by becoming a child of God. Being born again is not a social emblem. It is an experience with tangible proofs.

New birth begins with a repentance from dead works, Hebrews 6:1. Without repentance, salvation is fake. This is the foundation, Acts 2:37. Salvation without change is fake. You need to check yourself to identify the changes. Luke 3:8, there must be proof of repentance. Matthew 7:20, Galatians 5:22, there must be fruit of repentance.

The fruits — five of them

1. Love. Your love for God naturally surges. 1 John 4:6. When obedience is fulfilled, all the blessings begin to flow into your life, Deuteronomy 28:2; Isaiah 1:19; Romans 8:29. 1 Corinthians 2:9; Romans 3:4; 1 Corinthians 13:6. There is what to do to be worthy of heaven. 
2. Joy. The joy of salvation, Psalm 51:12. No true saved person would be a victim of depression. 1 Peter 1:8; Hebrews 12:2, joy unspeakable. The joy in salvation is the best cure for depression. Luke 2:10.
3. Peace. At new birth, peace comes to indwell you. John 14:27, this is divine peace. Peace that passes all knowledge, Philippians 4:7; Exodus 14:14. That peace comes into us at new birth. Salvation is not a philosophy or ideology; it is an experience. 
4. Faith towards God. Hebrews 6:1. Faith comes alive in you towards God. Faith towards God comes alive at new birth. 
5. Eternal judgement is foundational. We need to be conscious of eternal judgment. That will not allow you to rejoice in iniquity. 2 Corinthians 13:5

Self examination enables us to remain on course in this journey, 2 Corinthians 13:5. These are seeds of the fruit that we need to keep nurturing. Within a seed lies a plantation. We must see these components as seeds to be nurtured.

Conclusion

John 3:7, 8, they are born of the spirit and not of church. Whatever must pass away in your life must pass away.

Altar call

Your church and group know you, but does God know you? The journey begins from genuine repentance from dead works to serve the living God. If you are yet to be saved or need to re-dedicate your life to Christ, this call is for you. Cry out and ask Jesus to save your soul tonight. Lift your right hand to heaven: repentance from dead works is the number one step to redemption. Tell Him: I repent form all dead works. Save my soul Jesus. Restore me back to the faith tonight.

Then pray this prayer of repentance:

Lord Jesus, I’ve called on your name for my rescue and salvation. I believe that upon my repentance, I am saved and restored to the faith. Thank you for saving me.

Addendum:

Self-examination should be on a daily basis. Every virtue is inherent in Christianitu. What you are missing is the supernatural grace of life. Take off now that your faith is defended.
