MINING THE GOOD DEPOSIT IN YOU FOR GOD’S GLORY

MINING THE GOOD DEPOSIT IN YOU FOR GOD’S GLORY.

That good thing which was committed unto thee. Simply, "the good deposit."

Guard means protect jealously.

 As in 1Timothy 6:20. God has also made an investment in Timothy (cf. verse 2Timothy 1:12). Like any other believer in Christ Jesus.

Timothy must not let that fail. Which dwelleth in us.  It is only through the Holy Spirit that Timothy or any of us can guard God's deposit with us.

Peter was called to follow Jesus; for he shall be fishers of men. We did not see Peter fishing for souls until the Holy Ghost came upon him. On one occasion three thousand souls were won. At another time it was five thousand souls.

God has deposited most good deposits in us as his children. And until the Holy Spirit comes upon you in power and fire, you cannot mine and refine it. On the day of Pentecost there was fire to refine the explosion of deposits. Like mines company, the target is on the deposit and refinery of what is mined.

From Monday till now, much deposit has been made by the hands that have been laid on you.

2Timothy 1:6 Therefore, I remind you to inflame anew the gift of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands.

1Timothy 4:14 Do not neglect the gift in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the body of elders

Acts 6:6; 8:17; 13:3; 19:6; 1Timothy 1:18; 5:22; 2Timothy 1:6

The task tonight is to expose (unveil) the deposits in you to the glory of God. In fact, it is a commissioning service. The prophets and prophetess would come up. The evangelists would come up with power of proclamation and healings. The miracle workers and faith demonstrators would emerge. People of divine wisdom, knowledge and discernment will surface and with accurate prophetic utterances. Prayer warriors would be raised with new tongues and interpretations.

Tonight whatever has been deposited in you would be exposed by the enabling power of the Holy Ghost. And there shall be a refinery in manifestation by fire.

1Peter 4:10 each one as he received a gift, ministering it to yourselves as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

 11 If anyone speaks, let it be as the words of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as of the ability which God gives, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory, and the might forever and ever. Amen.

Romans 12:6 Then having gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

 7 or ministry, in the ministry; or he who teaches, in the teaching;

 8 or he who exhorts, in the encouragement; or he who shares, in simplicity; or he

who takes the lead, in diligence; or he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness.

Just to expose you to few things of real life, I want to let you know that until mineral underground (gold ore, bauxite, manganese, iron ore, uranium, etc) is fine and refined for use it is not different from any soul at all. Example, the oil Ghana has discovered was not created just ten years ago. No! it has been there for a very long time. The same goes for the gold and other minerals underground. But until it has been discovered, mined and refined it has no benefit to mankind. I believe the day you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior, and the Holy Spirit came to dwell in you, He came along with divine deposits which when discovered would help in the advancement of the kingdom of God. Remember where mining is done, royalties are paid. Therefore, if you are a carrier of divine deposits and as there is mining taking place in you, you shall receive divine royalties (blessings).

Again, it is worth noting that, some artist have good voices to sing but are not called “stars” until they are discovered and trained. Example is “Cee” and “Isaac” discovered through the TV3 Mentorship programme. They had good abilities from childhood but when the mining begun, they were considered ‘stars’.

The famous Michael Essien is not a university graduate (only completed sssce) but a man with much wealth. Talk of Stephen Appiah, John Mensah, Asamoah Gyan, etc they are not much lettered people but because they discovered and mined their deposits they are well known than many professors in our country.
