Get Up!
“And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself” Luke 13:10-11 [KJV]
Be very attentive; there are certain things that God will have me say by the Power of the Holy Spirit. As I say these things and you receive it, it will be established, in Jesus Name. God will lay His hands on you today and immediately you will be made straight and Stand Tall.
Please read Luke 13:10-17. The woman in this portion of Scripture could not lift herself. There may be Read the rest of this entry
Repentance
“Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord…” Acts 3:19-20 [emphasis added]
You will defeat your enemies in Jesus Name. But there are some things you need to remove from your life for that to happen. One of the greatest lies that has hit the church today is, once you are saved you do not really need to repent. There is nothing more you can do because Jesus has done it all. It is one big, twisted lie. Do not buy the lie. Repentance always comes before refreshing. Until you remove these things from among you, says the Lord, you will not be able to stand.

Fess-up!
“Suppose I wanted to hide from you and said, “Surely the darkness will hide me. The day will change into night and cover me.” Even the darkness is not dark to you. The night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same” Ps. 139:11-12
“…And they have not only stolen them but have lied about it and hidden the things among their own belongings” Josh.7:11 [emphasis added]. You could almost feel God’s pain reading this portion of Scripture. “They have not only stolen, but they have hidden it and lied about it.” One of your greatest assets in your walk with God is your sincerity. If you have done something, no matter what it is, be sincere with your heavenly Father. David is an amazing Read the rest of this entry
Set Apart
“…They have stolen some of the things that I commanded must be set apart for me…” Josh.7:11 [emphasis added]
With the personal covenant I have with God, there are certain things in my life which He requires that I set aside for Him. Such things God has not asked you to set aside for Him. Do you understand? There are certain things that God requires of me and only me to set aside. He is not asking you to set aside those same things. So I must not erode those things. You need to find out what it is for you. Every life has a Covenant. There is a general Covenant but everyone should Read the rest of this entry
Brothers Keeper
“Israel has sinned and broken my covenant! They have stolen some of the things that I commanded must be set apart for me. And they have not only stolen them but have lied about it and hidden the things among their own belongings” Josh.7:11 [emphasis added]
People argue about many things especially about tithing. Some ask, “If I do not tithe will I go to hell?” The answer is no. But that stubborn thing in you that can make you look God in the face and do your own thing will take you to hell. Just obey God! When you obey God, you are paying obeisance. That is why Jesus said, “these people, they draw near to Me with their lips but their heart is far away from Me.” So what has God told you to do? Do it! What has He warned you not Read the rest of this entry
Obeisance
“Israel has sinned and broken my covenant!… That is why the Israelites are running from their enemies in defeat [therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies]…” Josh.7:11-12 [emphasis added]
You will Stand and prevail over your enemies in the Mighty Name of Jesus. The word obeisance is gotten from the word obedient. Obeisance is a gesture expressing deferential respect, such as a bow. Obedience to God is paying obeisance to God. When we bow to God we are obeying Him. When we obey God we are bowing to Him. Obedience to God is bowing to God. You must have heard this said, if you bow before God you will stand before any enemy.
Here And Now!
“Then Joshua cried out, “Oh, Sovereign Lord, why did you bring us across the Jordan River if you are going to let the Amorites kill us? If only we had been content to stay on the other side!” Josh.7:7 [emphasis added].
“…If only we had been content to stay on the other side!” I call it the fantasy of the other side. It is also known as the green grass syndrome. The lawn on the other side is greener. Who says? Like someone said, the grass is not greener on the other side, the grass is greener where it is watered. When we are not Standing Tall where we are, we live in a perpetual state of lack of contentment and desire what we do not have. When we think we have something and it does not measure Read the rest of this entry
Stand Up & Stand Tall
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house” Matt.5:14-15.
The report of the spies was, “When they returned, they told Joshua, “There’s no need for all of us to go up there; it won’t take more than two or three thousand men to attack Ai. Since there are so few of them, don’t make all our people struggle to go up there” Josh.7:3. But fast forward to the next chapter, “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.8:1 [emphasis added]. God’s instruction for victory was the direct opposite of what the spies had suggested. Read the rest of this entry
Error To Avoid!
“When they returned, they told Joshua, “There’s no need for all of us to go up there; it won’t take more than two or three thousand men to attack Ai. Since there are so few of them, don’t make all our people struggle to go up there” Josh.7:3
You are a leader and you are responsible! You may delegate tasks but ultimately what happens based on the feedback you get is your call. Once the spies have submitted their report, their job is done. Then it is the leader’s call to determine what happens next. Unfortunately, a lot of the spies are like Ahithophel. Ahithophel was a fantastic counselor. The Bible says that when he spoke it was like God had spoken. He was David’s counselor initially but then became Absalom’s counselor.
Your Duty
“Joshua sent some of his men from Jericho to spy out the town of Ai, east of Bethel, near Beth-aven. When they returned, they told Joshua, “There’s no need for all of us to go up there… Since there are so few of them” Josh.7:2-3
When this season is over, everything that was holding you back from Standing Tall would have lost its grip totally. You are going to Stand Tall, shoulder high in every phase of your life. You are going Stand Tall in your industry, your country, your family, and in your life.
Please read Joshua 7:2-13. This is a strong word but it is the Word to do us good and to ensure that we have no defeat in Read the rest of this entry
