"Men Of Retreat"
#Isaiah 40 : 31 (KJV)
By Rev. Chris  Effiong

Waiting time is not wasting time. The more you wait the more anointing you carry. The place of waiting takes you to the place of demonstration, without hunger there can’t be demonstration.

Men of retreat are waiters, “BE STILL AND KNOW”
Men of retreat are men of personal evaluation.  2 Corinthians 13 : 5 (NIV, KJV, NLT, AMP). The time of retreat is the time for to examine ourselves. Ask God to cause you to see yourself from His perspective, go before the mirror (Jehovah), Psalm 139 : 23 (KJV).
God says I can’t take you far if I don’t chisel out some part in your life.

If you must fulfill your kingdom mandate, self-evaluation is important (Judges 16 : 19-20, KJV).
If you carry something on your head, there is a price over your destiny. (1Corinthians 10 : 12, KJV), Matthew 11 : 1 – 5(KJV).

John had a specific ministry, his food, clothing, location of assignment was defined, but I am of the opinion that he did not reevaluate himself. John neglected his place of assignment and went to the city, entered to speak to the king and was arrested. The problem with John was “change of environment”, he left the place of his coverage.

The place of personal spiritual evaluation is the place where God will show you:
1. Probable pitfalls.
2. Show you His plan for the now.

Men of retreat are men who understand their assignment in life.

What Should We Examine:
1. Examine your prayer and study life and relationship with God. Prayerlessness does not just emerge but start by procrastination of your prayer time. Prayer cannot work where there is no discipline. It is you traveling to God, intercourse with Him. The major deliverances in life can be gotten in one revelation.

2. Evaluate your relationship with fellow men.

3. Evaluate your relationship with your spouse. Every home that is not correct is a potential incorrect home tomorrow for the children.

4. Evaluate your commitment to the house of God.

5. Evaluate your retreat and out of circulation life.

6. Evaluate your passion for the manifestation of God in your generation. Manifesting God is not a function of size for passion delivers manifestation.

7. Evaluate your interest to stay around people who will affect your spiritual life positively.

8. Evaluate your determination to stay away from fire extinguishers.

9. Evaluate your determination to be word loaded. The easiest way to make impact is to understand your strength.  Men of retreat are men of high spiritual sensitivity, men who are known by God and the devil. Men who fit into God’s end time global agenda, men who are not taken by surprise, they determine what happens around them they are the fire exporters. Jeremiah 20:9(KJV).

How To Maximize Retreats:
1. Let your garment always be white. Ecclesiastes  9:7-8(KJV)
2. Maintain a regular prayer lifestyle.
3. Maintain a praiseful lifestyle.
4. Quarrel with sin and never to reconcile.

PRAYERS:
1. Father, I ask for fresh fire to serve you faithfully in Jesus name Amen.
2. Father, let fresh oil to manifest your n will come upon me now in Jesus name.
3. Father, I want to export your fire to other nations.
4. Father, fire to become generational asset fall on me in Jesus.
5. Father, helps me to discover my assignment in Jesus name.
6. Lord, gives me the grace to disconnect, high spiritual sensitivity in Jesus name.
7. Lord, I decree, anything that you’ve not planted in my father’s house, I uproot it in Jesus name.
8. Lord, out of this place of retreat handles every concern in my life.
