WHEN GOD TRANSITIONS FROM ‘AVAILABLE’ TO ‘USABLE’…
There is a moment in the dealings of God that should terrify every man a moment when availability is no longer enough. God moves past the surface offerings of the willing and seeks those who have been broken, purged, and crushed under His refining hand. This is that moment where a line is drawn, where a shift occurs, and vessels who have refused the fire are replaced. The Body of Christ is now in transition, and only the usable will remain.
YOUR AVAILABILITY MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT PURGING:
Many have offered themselves to God with raised hands and loud declarations of readiness, yet beneath the surface, their hearts remain untouched. God is not impressed by availability if it is not backed by purity. To be available but still harbor hidden sin is to mock His holiness. A man who remains the same after offering himself to God is not a servant he is a liar. Do you think God can be fooled? Do you think He will entrust His glory to vessels stained by secret iniquity? This is the hour when He will bypass those who merely show up and choose those who have been made clean at all costs.
FORGIVENESS IS NOT THE FINISH LINE IT IS THE START OF THE FIRE:
We rejoice in forgiveness, but forgiveness is not the end it is the beginning. To be forgiven is to be invited into the furnace, where God strips away the roots of sin that have gripped us for years. Without purging, your forgiven heart will still crave the things that once enslaved you. What good is forgiveness if the seed of rebellion remains untouched? God is not after behavior management He is after transformation. If you refuse His fire, you will remain a slave dressed in holy garments.
THE CRY OF SELF-DRIVEN ZEAL WILL NOT SAVE YOU:
Many have run to God’s altar with enthusiasm, thinking that passion can replace preparation. How many times have we seen men collapse under the weight of assignments they were never purified to carry? Your zeal without His refining will betray you it will expose the ambition and pride you thought you could hide. This is the hour when God will silence the noise of ambition and raise only those who have died to themselves. If you have not been broken, you are a threat to His purposes. Stop running ahead of God go back to the fire and let Him deal with you.
THIS IS A SEASON OF SEPARATION YOU WILL BE REPLACED IF YOU RESIST:
God is moving swiftly, and vessels that refuse to undergo purging will be replaced. This is not a threat it is a certainty. He will raise men from the ashes, men you have never heard of, and place them where the proud once stood. Do you think you are indispensable to God’s work? Think again. The exchange has begun, and the only thing that will keep you in His hands is a heart that has been broken, purged, and emptied of self. If you resist now, another will take your place, and your tears will be of regret, not repentance.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
This is not the time to weep over missed opportunities or make shallow resolutions. This is the time to lie prostrate before God, begging Him to finish His work in you. Ask Him to search your heart until no hidden iniquity remains (Psalm 139:23-24). The Spirit is available to help those who will not labor in vain, but you must humble yourself enough to seek His refining (Romans 8:26).
Hear the word of the Lord: The usable will stand, and the available will fall. Choose this day whether you will be broken or be replaced. This is not a season to delay, for the fire is already burning, and the time to submit is now. Availability without usability will lead to shame. Only those who have been purged will carry His burden.
RUN TO THE FIRE OR BE LEFT OUTSIDE.
Your Brother,

If under the nose and watchful eyes of self acclaimed heroes, vanguards and self appointed custodians of our democracy, LG buildings are being burnt, INEC is refusing inspection of BVAS machine etc. We obviously never fought for democracy we only fought for our turn at the table.
@SholaOlapade Africa has to discover the style of governance that suits us a people, certainly democray is not one of them because we have never practiced it in Nigeria. Human right abuse by government itself happens on a daily, no rule of law I don't believe we are practicing democracy here.
Today, I attended a special Thanksgiving service at Faith Tabernacle in Canaanland, Ota, to celebrate the milestone of Bishop David Oyedepo’s 70th birthday.
We paid tribute to a leader whose vision and dedication have transformed countless lives and communities.
Bishop Oyedepo’s lifelong commitment to faith, education, empowerment, and the enduring legacy he has built through his unwavering faith and leadership is truly inspirational.
Dear Bishop Oyedepo,
I am excited to join your family and the Living Faith Church,our @WinnersWLD, the Christian community in Nigeria and many others around the world to celebrate you on your 70th birthday.
You are a blessing to the body of Christ particularly in Nigeria.
As a Christian leader, your transformational teachings of the word of faith and works of charity over the years, have positively impacted the lives and destinies of many of your parishioners and others across the world.
You have shaped the future of many young ones in our country through your passion for education by investing in quality and knowledge-based educational projects such as the Kingdom Heritage Schools, Faith Academy, the Covenant and Landmark Universities.
Let me also use this unique opportunity to appreciate you for all the prayers and encouragement extended to me while serving this country as President.
As you celebrate, let me commend you for your life of integrity, honesty, faith and sound Christian doctrines.
You have been a true disciple of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, serving as a light to the world, a foremost voice of truth, and an advocate of peace and good governance.
I am pleased that you are celebrating your platinum jubilee this year in good health and boundless testimonies of God’s grace and blessing to you and many around you.
I pray that this only marks the beginning of God’s ultimate plan for you as His vessel of honour.
May the promises and blessings of Christ continue to abound in you and those around you. I wish you more years of success. Congratulations and Happy Birthday, our dear Bishop.
