Knowing
“And the man said to me, “Daniel, you are very precious to God, so listen carefully to what I have to say to you. Stand up, for I have been sent to you”…” Dan.10:11
Always assume that the enemy is intelligent and competent. In your business, always assume that the competitor is intelligent and competent. At your office, always assume that the person vying for that same position is intelligent and competent. As Christians, we have an arch-enemy of our souls, satan. Never ever underestimate satan. I know we are victorious in Christ. I know we are seated in the High Read the rest of this entry
Be Sensitive
“So approximately 3,000 warriors were sent, but they were soundly defeated… Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take all your fighting men and attack Ai, for I have given you the king of Ai, his people, his town, and his land” Josh.7:4 & 8:1
There is intelligence in the spirit realm and you need to tap into it with the help of the Holy Spirit. For instance, Job was minding his own business and there were discussions going on in heaven about Job; but he was clueless. Assuming Job could tap into heaven and understand what was going on, perhaps he could have responded better. Perhaps he could have pleaded his case with God. There have been Read the rest of this entry
The Advantage
“Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” Luke 5:22 [NIV]
Great military leaders are consistently gathering and analyzing information; seeking the insights that will give them an advantage. How can you run a business and not even have the vital facts, statistics and information about it? Something is wrong with that. It is your duty to gather information because you are the general of your life. God shows us the power of intelligence in His dealings with Israel. God has Read the rest of this entry
Intelligence
“The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger. So don’t go to war without wise guidance; victory depends on having many advisers” Prov.24:5-6
Victory depends on having quality intelligence. Your opposition may be strong but you must be wise because the wise is mightier than the strong. Goliath was strong but David was wise. Wisdom will always floor strength any day. God wants us to gather intelligence. In your marriage, in your business, in your personal life, even spiritually, do not go to war without gathering quality intelligence. Do not launch without seeking counsel, weighing it, and gathering quality intelligence. Why? Because the scripture tells us that victory depends on it. You are going to be victorious, in Jesus Read the rest of this entry
Pardoned
“Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the Lord has punished her twice over for all her sins” Isaiah 40:2 [ emphasis added]
Sometimes, when we maneuver wrongly it gets us into trouble. Sometimes, it is the maneuvers our parents have done on our behalf that have puts us in trouble. If you are in that situation, I believe very strongly that this is God’s Word for you: “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins” Isaiah 40:2 [NIV, emphasis added]. I say to you with all tenderness, your hard service has been paid for.
Advantage vs. Victory
“In the same way, I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born.” The Lord says this: “I promise that if I cause you the pain of birth, I will not stop you from having your new nation.” Your God said this” Isa.66:9 [ERV]
The Principle of Maneuver can give you an advantage; it puts your opponent at the disadvantage. While the principle of maneuver can give you an advantage, never forget that an advantage is not victory. You can maneuver and get an advantage but never forget that an advantage is not victory. Every chess player understands this. Taking your opponents queen will give you an advantage. But most people who take the opponents queen early, usually lose because of the false sense that you are in charge. Meanwhile, the other player knows he or she has to fight to win.

Admit and Maneuver
“So approximately 3,000 warriors were sent, but they were soundly defeated… Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take all your fighting men and attack Ai, for I have given you the king of Ai, his people, his town, and his land” Josh.7:4 & 8:1
There are some maneuvers you make and seeds you sow in the spirit that rings on generationally; so be flexible. Be open and one of the keys to being open is, you must admit that you can be wrong. I thought… but I was wrong. Always be open to the possibility that you may be wrong. It will save your life and save you from praying unnecessary prayers. Read Joshua 7 & 8.
Napoleon the Great made the mistake of not being open to the possibility of being wrong. He was a master of offense Read the rest of this entry
Seed Maneuvers
“…these Levites—the ones who collect the tithe—paid a tithe to Melchizedek when their ancestor Abraham paid a tithe to him. For although Levi wasn’t born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham’s body when Melchizedek collected the tithe from him” Heb.7:9-10
There are seeds you will sow that will shape not only your life but also the lives of your children. There are some covenant maneuvers in the spirit that speaks for generations to come. It seems as though certain people are just prospering at everything they do. What you do not know is that their parents have “hit the ground” on their behalf. A lot of people are upset with me and some even accuse me of not knowing how to pray. My response is, I may not know how to pray but my grandmother prayed for me, and my mother is praying for me. Perhaps because I was a Read the rest of this entry
With You!
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit… The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:6 & 8 [emphasis added]
Years ago I had to represent the company I used to work for at the time, in South Africa. I went through all the necessary preparations with our partners because I was the one going to do the presentation. When I was about to go, one of them shook my hand and said, the forces be with you. I did not want to say amen because I was not sure which force he was referring to. But when I inquired about him, I found out that he is a Jew. Sometimes you think you are the only one that knows God. Every Jew knows Read the rest of this entry
The Twist
“One day news came to David that the Philistines were at Keilah stealing grain from the threshing floors. David asked the Lord, “Should I go and attack them?” “Yes, go and save Keilah,” the Lord told him” 1 Sam.23:1-2
David is a master of maneuver. Please read the story in 1 Samuel 23, it is an amazing read. David’s heart was for his people Israel even though he himself was on the run from Saul. The Jewish city, Keilah, was being attacked by the Philistines. So David asked for permission to help them. As soon as he got clearance from God, David engaged his six hundred men.
“But David’s men said, “We’re afraid even here in Judah. We certainly don’t want to go to Keilah to fight the whole Philistine army!” So David asked the Lord again, and again the Lord replied, “Go down to Keilah, for I will help you conquer the Philistines.” 1 Sam.23:3-4. So David went and delivered the city from the hands of the Philistines. Of Read the rest of this entry
