QUESTION: Can God give two of His children the SAME message?

ANSWER: YES

My brother, who is an ordained Elder, was scheduled to preach at a church in Detroit. He asked me a few weeks prior to accompany him by ministering in song directly before his sermon.

I sought the Lord through consecration about a song to sing. God gave me the song “Keep on the Firing Line”.

When God gave me this song to sing I had NO idea what sermon was provided to my brother by God to preach to the people.

Well, a few days prior to the date the sermon was scheduled to be delivered to the people from God, my brother notified me and other friends and loved ones that the topic of his sermon was going to be “The Heart of a Finisher”.

I was immediately HUMBLED and began to glorify God because I was comforted in knowing that we BOTH KNOW HOW TO HEAR FROM GOD!

The song that the Lord gave me was “Keep on the Firing Line”. The sermon that the Lord gave my brother was “The Heart of a Finisher”.

Hence, I sung the song “Keep on the Firing Line” before my brother delivered the sermon “The Heart of a Finisher”.

Words of Inspiration
God wanted the people to be encouraged to finish this race in Christ Jesus by fighting the good fight of faith. Keep on the firing line and keep the heart of a finisher. Don’t give up. Don”t lose heart. Be not weary in well doing. You shall reap if you faint not. Stand fast. Put on the WHOLE armor of God. That is the ONLY way you will be able to stand in the evil day. Uphold the righteousness of Jesus Christ through the ENTIRE race.The joy is before us. The glory of the Lord is before us. You must fight and be brave against all evil. This is a spiritual warfare. Stay in the RACE. Stay in the FAITH. Stay in the WORD. Stay with CHRIST JESUS. Jesus Christ is the author AND The finisher of our FAITH. Seek God’s will for your life. What is your passion? Use your passion to glorify God. Fulfill God’s will in your life. SEEK HIM. Keep the FAITH. Have the heart of the finisher as you STAY on the FIRING LINE.

CONCLUSION: OBEY GOD
My brother and I were obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit of God. We both took heed to His voice by presenting what HE said to PRESENT. It doesn’t matter who doesn’t like the message. If God said “PREACH IT” or “SING IT” that is what ministers of God are expected to do. It is important in ministry to be led by the Holy Spirit at all times. God wanted to use us to minister. In order for you to be used by God effectively in ministry, you must have the Holy Spirit. Further, God does not just want ministers to present sermons or sing songs that make people feel good or always make people SHOUT. God wants His ministers to be obedient and speak and/or sing the message(s) that HE gives. [PERIOD]

Sermon Highlights: “The Heart of a Finisher”
“Despite facing great adversities, God wants us to never give up. He chose those that are committed to the work of the kingdom. He sanctified those that will not rest until God’s word is revealed and manifested. Although we feel discouraged sometimes, in us beats the heart of a Finisher! Never give up.” – Elder Haywood Edwards

Song: “Keep on the Firing Line”

If you’re in the battle for the Lord and right, Keep on the firing line; If you win, my brother, surely you must fight, Keep on the firing line; There are many dangers that we all must face, If we die still fighting it is no disgrace; Cowards in the service will not find a place, So keep on the firing line.

Refrain-Oh, you must fight, be brave against all evil, Never run, nor even lag behind; If you would win for God and the right, Just keep on the firing line.

Hook – Must fight. Be brave.

NOTE: BEFORE BEGINNING WARFARE, ALWAYS PUT YOUR ARMOUR ON. YOU CAN’T GO OUT TO BATTLE WITHOUT IT! IT MUST BE PUT ON DAILY! SAY OUT LOUD & GO THROUGH THE ACTIONS OF PUTTING IT ON:

“I’VE GOT MY FEET SHOD WITH THE PREPARATION OF PEACE. I’VE GOT MY SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, MY SHIELD OF FAITH….MY BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, MY HELMET OF SALVATION AND MY BELT OF TRUTH…I PUT ON MY ARMOUR AND I’M READY FOR THE BATTLE!”
