Consider This
“And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God” 1 Sam.30:6 [KJV]
Why are you so angry? Yesterday, we saw how anger kept Moses from entering his destiny. Anger will not keep you from entering your Promised Land, in Jesus Name. But you still need to watch out for it. We need to examine and weigh what we get angry about. Why are you so angry? Why do you allow yourself to be so short fused? Someone said, that is how we are in our family; when we get angry, we Read the rest of this entry
Be Careful!
“Then the Lord told Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones. I will write on them the same words that were on the tablets you smashed… No one else may come with you…” Ex.34:1&3
Please read 2 Kings 3:10-16 – it is the story of three kings who found themselves in a mess. And one of them [Jehoshaphat] said to the king of Israel, “let us find Elisha, the Word of God is with him”. Elisha was a man that was anointed of God; a solid prophet. They got to Elisha and he came out. But when he saw the king of Israel, he got so angry he could not even look at him. He said I do not even want to see your face; go and call the prophets of your Read the rest of this entry
Off Key
“And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed” Gen. 32:38
Jacob was detuned from birth by his name. The name Jacob meant crook. Imagine giving a child such a name. Imagine at his naming ceremony when his mother was asked, “what shall this child be called?” And she answered, “Crook; he shall be called crook”. That was what Jacob’s name literally meant, supplanter. The name Jacob put him out of tune with his destiny from birth and God had to retune him. “…Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel…” Gen. 32:38. The name Israel means prince of Read the rest of this entry
Re-Tune
“What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations” Gen.17:5
God’s instruction for us in this season is Re-Tune. To tune is to put into proper pitch. The purpose of tuning any instrument is to put it in proper pitch. To tune is also to adjust to a desired frequency. If you are tuning a radio, you are adjusting it to a desired frequency. To re-tune therefore means to put into proper pitch again. To re-tune means to readjust into a desired frequency.

“Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath” Mark 2:28
You cannot ignore certain principles that existed before the Law. The Principle of Tithing is one of such; it existed before the Law. It existed in Eden. The Principle of First-fruit is another one; Cain and Abel [Read Genesis 4]. The Principle of His Presence – some people think they do not need to pray because they are Christians. The Principle of His Presence is in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. God will Read the rest of this entry
The Sabbath Principle
“And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” Luke 13:16 [KJV].
Jesus was saying to them, you are telling me that because it is a Sabbath, this woman should not be loosed? Shouldn’t she being a daughter of Abraham be loosed? When you put systems before sympathy, you will miss God. When you put “this is how we do it” before the people God came to do it for, you will miss it. And this was the problem with the Jews. Who instituted the Sabbath? God. When you now put the Sabbath before the people, there obviously will be a problem. And Read the rest of this entry
Reference Point
“The Lord then answered him and said… And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame” Luke 13: 15 & 17 [emphasis added]
Everywhere your lifting is being queried, Jesus Himself will answer for you. Everywhere people are querying the choice of you, God Himself will answer every query. And when He answers, all of them will be put to shame [say amen]. Try and have some faith here; God will answer for you and all your enemies will be put to shame, in Jesus Name. “And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him” Luke 13:17 [emphasis added]. Your lifting will inspire multitudes to be lifted, in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Circle Average
“And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God” Lu.13:13 [emphasis added]
You are the average of the three people you spend the most time with. Perhaps on the capacity scale of one to ten, you are a nine. But you keep hanging out with twos, fours and fives. After a while you will be two plus four plus five divided by three [(2 + 4 + 5) ÷ 3]. In other words, even though you are a nine, your output will be a three. Not because of you or what God has put in you, but because of who you are hanging out with. For some us of, the reason why we have those people in Read the rest of this entry

“And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God” Lu.13:13 [emphasis added]
Maryanne Williamson says, “Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us”. If you are poor, you cannot help anybody. As a church, in God’s Favourite House, there are so many things that God is doing through us for the communities around us. But we cannot do any of these things if we were a poor church. For those of us Read the rest of this entry
Child Of God!
“And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God” Lu.13:13 [emphasis added]
Today, for the purpose of emphasis, we will start by repeating our final thought from yesterday. “We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and…?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God” Maryanne Williamson. Never apologize for standing tall. Some people are consistently wrestling with the question, who am I to be talented, to be anointed, to be beautiful, to be successful, to be wealthy…? Actually, who are you not to be, that is the Read the rest of this entry
