Topic: The Essence Of Spiritual Cover [Sunday January 28th, 2018]
Scripture: And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. Hosea 12:13.
Thought For The Day: Your spiritual father is your ladder with which you attain your height in life and destiny.
God is a God of order and protocol. One of the orders established by God is the order of spiritual authority, order and protocol in order to push destinies into fulfilment. This is the essence of spiritual cover – to push someone into his or her destiny. We can see this spiritual order and protocol also at work in the life of Jesus Christ. As anointed as Jesus was, he did not function in Ministry until he submitted to the Ministry and spiritual cover of John the Baptist. John the Baptist was the known prophet in town but Jesus Christ was an unknown prophet who was coming up at the time. You know, it takes a known prophet to reveal the voice of an unknown prophet.
When Jesus submitted to the prophetic cover of John to be baptised, the Bible says, ‘But John forbad Jesus, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?’ (Mathew 3:14). John seemed to have said, ‘I am the one who should be baptised by you.’(Paraphrased). But Jesus insisted and said, ‘Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.’ Mathew 3:15.
That was spiritual order and protocol. A spiritual father is a spiritual ladder. Your spiritual father is your ladder with which you attain your height in life and destiny. Your spiritual father is your spiritual feather with which you fly. Your spiritual father gives you the allocation of the feather you need to take off from where you are to where you need to go.
Remember This: Your spiritual father is your ladder with which you attain your height in life and destiny.
