fibre by birth.
These are men who know how to pass through fire without burning, men who, when thrown into lions’ dens, can dwell with the lions at peace as if they are fellow brothers. These are God’s generals.
God’s generals are those men and women who know how to govern the laws of nature using the supernatural powers of God.
Wherever they are sent by God, nature ceases its operations, and the Spirit of Elohim dominates.
We are privileged today to have some of the generals in our midst.
In the book of Matthew Chapter 16:13, Jesus asked His disciples who men said He was.
It was a question of identity and men did not have the correct answer to that until He turned to His very own disciples with the same question.
Jesus perceived that it was practically possible to walk with the people and to dwell among them without them knowing Him.
Even those He thought were His closest associates, people of His community and countrymen needed to be tested with the same question, “Who do you think I am?” The disciple Peter answered this multi-million dollar question with accuracy and precision and Jesus reminded him that he copied the answer from His heavenly Father’s book of revelations.
From this story, I discovered that a man of God is difficult to be identified, he can only be known by revelation!
No blood and no flesh can reveal who a man of God is, but only by heaven’s revelation.
Generals of God are known in both realms of life, in the physical and spiritual, their names are registered there.
In the book of Acts 19:14,we read of the sons of a certain pastor named Sceva who tried to cast out demons with the general of God’s name Paul and were disciplined by the evil spirits.
The demons acknowledged that there are generals of God whom they fear and respect like Paul and his master Jesus and they openly said they didn’t regard pastor Sceva and his sons, their names were unknown in the spirit realm for them to be regarded as authorities.
Pastor Sceva had no connection to Jesus, even his children knew. That that is why they tried to use Paul’s name which they had heard at an interdenominational service and it could not work for them.
They did not possess Paul’s DNA.
For one to become a general of God, there must be a very strong connection with the master, Jesus Christ.
Paul was connected to Jesus and that is why his name could be used to cast out demons and the handkerchiefs from his body could heal the sick.
If your father is a secretary-general or a president of a church, that might not qualify him to be a general of God. Becoming a general of God is not by human elections and titles, it is by divine election through obedience and loyalty to God.
For one to be recognised in the spirit realm, one has to be a general of God or one should be connect to a general.
Generals of God are heroes made by God.
They don’t become heroes or generals of God when they passed on into glory, generals of God must be given honour and flowers while they are alive.
The generals who are gone are not good enough because we can only take lessons from their history, but we can’t ask them questions for today’s challenges because life, like culture, is dynamic.
Diseases that Paul healed yesterday are different from the HIV and Aids of today. We need other generals in our generation to bring relevance to our lives.
What happened in the streets of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria some thousands years ago with Jesus of Nazareth must also happen here in Zimbabwe through the generals of God for the bible to be relevant.
A prophet is an extension of Jesus Christ.
When Jesus Christ, the general of generals, entered the country of Gadarenes, Legion’s home country, evil spirits recognised Him and they cried out before He could even say a single word.
Generals of God are recognised and known by evil spirits and demon-possessed people for giving them difficult times even if the generals chose not to speak.
People of Gadarenes begged Jesus to leave their city and they did not want to hear Him, even though He was sent by God to deliver the city.
Generals of God were the talk of the town.
They never did anything wrong, but because they cast out demons out of Legions, the world would say its crime.
Some said Jesus is a glutton and he is friend of sinners. This shows me that persecution is food for the generals of God.
It’s not about money; it’s about being a God’s general.
God’s generals must be given their place in the society — they must be treated with respect.
They are like salt to preserve the food and are like lights to the world.
Yesterday we celebrated the God of Daniel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and today still we can celebrate the God that answereth by fire, the God who is here with us.
May I take this moment to invite every man and young boy to the ManWorld Convention starting on Wednesday 29 August 2012 at the City Sports Centre until Saturday 1 September 2012.
Come and meet God’s generals of our time Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa, Uebert Angel, Victor Kusi Boateng and your destiny will never be the same again!
