*Levels of Taking Over Nations* (IV)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And many of those who had practiced curious, magical arts collected their books and [throwing them, book after book, on the pile] burned them in the sight of everybody. When they counted the value of them, they found it amounted to 50,000 pieces of silver (about $9,300)."* (Acts 19:19(Amplified))
_Bible Insight:_
4. Exeriencing Transformation of lives in daily repentance & experience of growth
We cannot speak of taking over nations just by corrections or by winning souls or by working miracles alone. For these to really achieve the fullness of purpose, it must translate to transformation of lives.
In this Acts 19:19 we find a people who did not only claim to have been saved but openly burn their past life as it were.
You cannot hold unto the old and the new. If anyone be in Christ, the newness of life must chase out the old man's life & ways. The old become counted as haven been crucified with Christ.
At this point, you seek to please God above all else. And in seeking to please God, you are not only willing to repent but ready to do so immediately or as soon as necessary.
Repentance is to transformation what a key is to a door. You cannot become tranformed until you embrace the key of repantance.
There can never be correct christian growth until one is willing to take repentance as a daily medication.
Not repentance of repeating promises and apologies that you have litle or no commitment to actually stop endulging in.
_MEDITATION:_
*Repentance is for the unsaved and the saved alike. And the one who needs more repentance is the saved.* #Selah

*Levels of Taking Over Nations* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."* (Mark 16:20 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
3. Manifesting Signs and wonders
To take over nations, we must be like Christ in terms of being agents of the supernatural power of God.
We cannot afford to shy away from this. *"For our gospel came not unto you in word only, BUT ALSO IN POWER, AND IN THE HOLY GHOST, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake."* (1 Thessalonians 1:5 (KJV))
This is however not something we do by our own power. *"The Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs"* Our part is to do the work, and the Lord will work with us and confirm His Word with signs.
It is one of the ways, we as co-workers with God, assure ourselves that God indeed is with us.
It is also one of the ways that those who observe us or hear about us, come to conviction, that we have been sent by God.
Even Jesus urged those listening and watching him during His days in the flesh (while he was on earth) as follows:-
John 14:10-14 (KJV) *"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."*
*"Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake."*
*"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."*
*"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."*
*"If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."*
_MEDITATION:_
*"The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,....And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men."* (Acts 14:9, 11 (KJV))

*Levels of Taking Over Nations* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise."* (Proverbs 11:30 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
2.Soul winning.
This is joining forces with God and being an instrument that will lead a lost sinner back to God.
A soul winner understands that it is not about himself but about the glory of God and the salvation of lost souls.
All souls are lost and doomed until they come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. *"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."* (Romans 3:23 (KJV))
A Soul winner knows beyond doubt that only Jesus can save. Christ is not an option in the way to salvation, but the only hope left. *"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."* (Acts 4:12 (KJV))
To become an instrument to accomplish soul winning in God's hands, all the forces earlier mentioned in this series, must be appreciated and applied. Forces of prayer, love and compassion, Patience, perseverance and longsuffering, selflessness etc..
Little wonder, those who win souls are wise. Are you wise?
Or what else makes a man to say as Paul said:
1 Corinthians 9:22-23 (KJV): *To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.*
*And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.*
_MEDITATION:_
*And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.* (Daniel 12:3 (KJV))

*Levels of Taking Over Nations*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted."* (Galatians 6:1 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Let's talk about the seven levels of taking over nations. These can also be seen as types of taking over nations. To take over, means, to take control or to wield influence over. These levels or types of taking over nations are not in any particular order.
However we shall attempt to begin from the most basic.
1. Correcting others.
To correct is a serious matter. And is not always easy. Honestly, even being too quick to correct can also be a problem but not correcting at all is even a bigger problem too.
In correcting others, a couple of factors must be considered:-
1. Reason of correction-- is it a wrong by Christian standards or just a wrong from moral standards?
2. Who you are correcting- are you correcting a believer or an unbeliever
3. How you are correcting- are you correcting out of hate or love, or to prove a point or for the good of the person and others?
4. The age of the person you are correcting-- you can't correct an elderly person the same way you correct your subordinate or someone you are older than.
5. Why are you correcting the person- yes, this looks like it's not necessary but it is. You can correct for the wrong reasons too. Trying to shame and humiliate is a very wrong reason for correcting. Motive matters.
6. When and where are you correcting the person-- there is time and a place for everything. Consider the timing. Somethings should be corrected immediately, others can be delayed till a better time. A person speaking rudely to an adult should be corrected immediately but a brother shabily dressed or looking unkept may be corrected away from the eyes of the audience.
_MEDITATION:_
*"As the one correcting, understanding all the above is key. It is not enough to point out wrongs or try to show others how to be better. We can be wrong in the way we correct others. Especially in a world where controlling others is frowned at even when everyone is being controlled by something or someone."*

*Taking Over Nations* (X)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL PERFORM THIS."* (Isaiah 9:7 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Force of fervency/passion.
A man is nothing but the sum total of his passions and the things he is zealous about.
A man who can take over Nations forcefully must be one whose passion or zeal is to impact His world with the knowledge of God and the will of God.
This singular passion must overide every other thing the man does and must be the reason he does what he does and how he does what he does.
You cannot take over the world with the word of God if all you care about (or passionate about) is to entertain or to make money or be famous or to be rich or to marry, have children and educate them and build fine houses while riding latest cars.
If your passion or zeal does not touch and move you to affect your generation with the word and purposes of God, how can you take over the nations forcefully for Jesus!?
_MEDITATION:_
*Everyone is a passionate being. It is what you are being passionate about that matters*
