Keys to receive through a man of God part 1

*Text*

Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

*Matthew 13:55-56, 58 NKJV*

As much as we pray to God in search of a thing or a blessing, fasting and going to the mountain - God will answer us through a human being, an earthly vessel.

Many times, we receive from God through his servants - men and women of God.

However, we have some receiving and yet others wait forever without being granted that which they seek.

I will today give you the key you need to engage so you can receive from God through a man or woman of God.

As per our text above we see

*Discernment* as the key to engage. You cannot receive that which you do not see. If you see a Prophet, you receive that which a Prophet can offer and if you see a Carpenter - you should expect a coffee table and not breakthrough, miracles and healing. In this generation just as in the previous ones, ministers of God are being raised from different backgrounds and professionals. Peter was a fisherman before becoming an Apostle and Paul was a tent maker and a chief sinner as he called himself before becoming an Apostle. Those who saw fishing, sinful life and tent making never received from their ministry. In this kingdom you receive that which you see.

*Text*

“You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah replied. “If you see me when I am taken from you, then you will get your request. But if not, then you won’t.”

*2 Kings 2:10 NLT*

The condition for Elisha to receive the double portion was not being available but to see.

If you want to be healed don't just be in Church or before a man of God - you must see God's healing in the vessel God is using. No matter how the weakness of the flesh can obscure that which you seek, you must always focus in seeing that which you want.

Men and women of God are castodians of the anointing - the heavenly mantles, their flesh can fail but not the mantles and the graces entrusted upon their lives.

If you want to receive from a minister of the gospel, sometimes you need to ignore their pompousness, the pride, the love of money there is no perfect vessel but genuine mantles will dwell in the imperfections in the eyes of this World.

*Text*

“Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” “Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied.

*John 1:46 NLT*

Can anything good come from Malawi?

Can anything good come from an adulterer, the murderer? - ask David, despite the sleeping with Bathsheba and going on to kill Uriah - God made sure he lived up his purpose.

Can anything good come out of the lies? - ask Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - they all lied but we are benefiting from the Covenants God made with them.

The Vessels could be weak, corrupted and earthly but the mantles still remain heavenly and genuine - If you want to be blessed, then focus on the mantles and graces and leave the other part you do not understand for God to judge.

God has already designed a way for you to be blessed and receive that which you seek - it's in the Church you go to and the man of God in your life, your duty is not being available but to see it where seem not to be seen.

Even if it is not there, your faith and loyalty will provoke God's mercies and grant you your request from nonexistence.

*I pray for you, may the good Lord open your eyes so you can see that which you seek in the place he has planted you, in Jesus mighty name!*
