Imagine someone runs into your room and tells you they were just hit by a large truck but the person looks all tidy, hair is still in place, no scratches or bruises, and no broken part of the body. Wouldn’t the story be unbelievable? It’s the same way you would sound unbelievable if say that your life changed because you were at a special meeting but you don’t look anything like it. If indeed your life has changed it must be evident in your life. This is why we would consider what to do after a special meeting to ensure that you dear believer can appropriate all that you have received.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:19-20

‭King James Version

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus speaks to his disciples and he gives them the commandment to make students of men, to make disciples of nations, and to teach them as he has taught them. There is a great emphasis on teaching in this scripture as the way to get men discipled because Christianity is a taught faith. Men taught men that taught other men, which is how we know the gospel today.

It is important to note as well that the teaching of the word of God is not just an explanation but also an instruction and if every believer is a disciple, a student of the word, it means you must be obedient to the Word of God. You must assume the posture of an ever-learning believer. This means that you must also be taught what to do after a special meeting so that you can fully appropriate all that you received.

‭‭I Samuel‬ ‭10:6‬,9

‭New King James Version

6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

This scripture speaks of Saul who had such a supernatural encounter and changed his life forever. The Bible says that he became another man! After a special meeting, you must evaluate who you were before the camp meeting and who you should be now and recognize that you received all that it takes in that meeting to be who God has called you to be.

Saul failed to recognize what he had received! What he received did not affect him because he did not recognize it. He experienced something that had never happened before. He prophesied in the company of the prophets! You must recognize that you have received something! Either through impartation, the teaching of the word, prophecy, or long hours of prayer. Recognize that the man you were before the meeting is not the same man that came out of the meeting. Acknowledge it in your heart. Believe it in your heart.

This is why even later on in the year when things don’t seem to be going as great, just because you recognize that you have received something, your response to seasons like that would be better! All you need to do is to stir up what you have received! Your current feelings or circumstances do not invalidate that God deposited something in you in that meeting. Don’t live like you have not received.

The enemy would try to convince you that you are still the same person but you must learn to recognize that something changed! What you must do is to remind yourself! Confess your new reality! Say it over and over till it registers in your heart. The enemy would try to plant doubt but you must not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy!

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭2:11‬

‭New King James Version

11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

You could have received something so powerful yet live like nothing happened if you didn’t learn this. You must control your atmosphere. Keep those words of prophecy before your eyes, watch the impartation sessions over, pray with them, sing songs that remind you of what you have received, and fill up your heart so much with the consciousness of what you have received that you can’t forget. Remind yourself over and over of who you have become. Fan to Flames! Stir it up!

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭

New Living T‬‬ranslation

6 This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.

What you have received can be a constant in your life if you understand this. God’s plan for revivals is not to have a rise today and a fall tomorrow in devotion. It is to be on fire constantly. For example, you gave a word of wisdom, or a word of knowledge to someone during the camp meeting. Have you done it since then? Do you recognize that the Lord would have you be a supplying joint to your brothers and sisters every day? It wouldn’t matter all the encounters you had if you don’t put it to use.

Prayer Point:

Thank you, Father, for all you deposited in me! I recognize that I have become another man! I stir up the consciousness of who I have become. Doubt has no place here.
