The Reprogramming of God

Every born-again believer in Christ has been called to ministry. Based upon the various gifts that God has deposited in us through His Spirit, we all have a specific area in the Kingdom for which we have been assigned to work. Many people in the church have identified and acknowledged their call to the ministry. This is commonplace amongst  those who have answered a call to preach. Others have answered various callings in pastoral care, youth ministry, music ministry, as well as areas such as prophecy, deliverance and healing. However, if one is going to be "successful" in the ministry and the calling for which God has assigned them to fulfill, it's going to require the reprogramming of God.

When people answer a call to the ministry, a lot of times they are inclined to believe that the gifts that God has given them will be sufficient in fulfilling what God has called them to do. This is incorrect. Then there's another school of thought that, once one enters the ministry, one should receive some sort of seminary training. This too, is incorrect. Most seminaries are not designed to equip ministers for Kingdom building. What is required for the fulfillment of God's call for one's life is submission to the reprogramming of God. 

The Reprogramming of God entails the "reconditioning" that one must undergo in order to qualify to work with God. Remember, Jesus said very specifically that His Kingdom is "not of this world" (John 18). Since all of us were born on the planet Earth, we have to learn how to think and process from a "heavenly perspective". This requires Divine Reprogramming. This is one of the reasons why we don't see more Miracle Manifestations in our mainstream churches, because the leaders are still trying to produce Kingdom results from an earth-bound mindset.

A classic example of someone who went through the reprogramming of God was Moses. According to Acts chapter 7, when Moses was 40 years old, it hit his spirit that he would be the one that God would use to free the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. According to his pedigree and skill set, he appeared to be the man to do it. But he failed. And the scriptures say that God used the next 40 years on the backside of the desert to "Reprogram" Moses for the Assignment he was called to complete.

Even Jesus, after He was baptized in the Jordan by John the Baptist, went into the wilderness for 40 days. Why? Because even the Son of Man, through Satanic temptation, had to be Reprogrammed (or at least programmed).

Saints, don't think that your anointing and your experience in the church is sufficient for you to answer the Divine Call that God has placed on your life. There's a transformation process (Romans 12) that we have to undergo in order to be fit and qualified for the Kingdom Assignment for which God has ordained us to fulfill. Make sure that your heart and mind are positioned to receive, the Reprogramming of God.
