How many souls are perishing emotionally, physically, socially, financially and spiritually because you are not writing those books or putting up those conferences or giving out that money/resources to that brother? How many are perishing by going to hell because you are not preaching that word or refusing to share those encouraging words even as the Lord has prompted you to? How many souls are boxed in and not in the place God has ordained for them just because you are refusing to utilize your talents and gifts?
What has the Lord told us to do? Let’s get back to our prophecies, to the dreams, imaginations, visions and trance we testified to. We were supposed to do some of the things long time ago; a week, month, year or two ago, but we are still stagnant because we are giving excuses. Do you know the number of people who have perished within those two weeks or a year or five or ten years in which you’ve refused to obey the instruction of God? How many more must perish?! Ministry isn’t for you, but the people God wants to reach out to. Somebody somewhere is praying right now, that is why the Lord says write that quote. Somebody has been praying to make his marriage work that is why you received that prophecy to put up that marriage conference! Yes, the Lord does use ministry to bless us as well, but don’t forget first and foremost, it is for somebody out there to be blessed just as somebody engaged in the errand of the Lord and you were blessed! So, can I bold to say if you’ve not obeyed the instruction of God enough to bless others, your reward will not come? If you do not engage in the responsibilities of your ministry, there will be no reward for you. Sometimes, we think we can get away with the responsibilities and yet be rewarded. We claim the blessings but don’t want to do the work. It doesn’t work that way.

OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE!
You don’t mind getting up, putting your best clothes on to get to church to worship, yet neglecting the simple instructions He gives you such as waking up to spend time in His presence, reading His word and submitting to Him, your leaders and your husband. When it comes to loving those who rub you the wrong way and forgiving those who step on your toes, you’re not inclined to doing that

Our Spiritual ascension is determined by how much time we spend with God. The Spiritual altitude of every leader is determined by his discipline in prayer and commitment of obedience. When the leaders begin to wait on the Lord, He equips them to ascend into the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which in turn frees them from the corruptions of carnality. You can then run and not be weary. Moreover walk and not faint. The life of discipleship must be initiated through relationship with the Lord not by just teaching principles of discipleship. The enemy has weakened the Church by distracting the leadership with much needed ministerial activities hence they have failed to wait on the Lord. Many have been pressured to minister to the congregation rather than ministering to the Lord.

Jesus is not satisfied with a commitment that springs from a life of worldliness (James 4:4). There are many dedicated and diligent believers yet very worldly in nature. Biblical Christianity has declined in our era because our pews are filled with carnal believers who refuse to move into the mountain of the Spirit. Whatever has been birthed in the wrong location of the flesh has no spiritual significance before God. It is very important that we realize that our spiritual location will determine our acceptance or rejection by God. Your spiritual location dictates the state of your morality.

Christ is much concerned about believers following Him than religious information and empty piety that is not reflected in one’s character. Christianity is built on the bedrock of discipleship. The great commission that Christ charged the disciples was to go and make disciples of all nations (Mt 28:18). He did not just say to build Church structures filled with pew warming, morally indiscipline, and compromised believers whose motivation for spirituality is materialism and selfish comfort.
