REVELATION OVER EXPERIENCE
In preaching the gospel, revelation ranks higher than experience.
.
You mustn't experience sickness-healing before preaching about our rights to divine health in Christ.
.
You mustn't experience poverty-prosperity before preaching about our covenant wealth in Christ.
.
You mustn't experience demonic operation - deliverance before preaching about our authority in Christ.
.
You mustn't experience failure - success before preaching about our rights to living a happy and successful life in Christ.
.
You mustn't experience a sinful low life before preaching about our righteous state in Christ.
.
You mustn't experience evil - deliverance before preaching about our rights to divine protection and deliverance in Christ.
.
You mustn't have near-death experiences before preaching about the resurrection power and life in Christ.
.
Therefore, dear gospel preacher, do not allow the naysayers and detractors to despise you and your message just because you haven't experienced certain things.
.
Apostle Paul never saw Christ in person yet he wrote about one-third of the new testament that focuses on Christ, His redemptive works, and our rights in Christ.
.
Today, he ranks as one of the greatest apostles who spoke and wrote more about most truths and mysteries of the gospel and the new creation realities.
.
Most of the things he wrote about were given to him by revelation and not experience.
.
Am I in any way against experience?
By no means!
.
Experience is good and has its place; but where experience gives you a measure of understanding, revelation will give you a full, deeper, and circumspect understanding.
.
Besides, we were not called to preach our experiences but to know and preach the Gospel of Christ and Him crucified. (1 Cor 2:2; Mark 16:15)
.
Seek to embrace revelation over experience.
