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
Deliberate Action
“Where there is no vision, the people perish” Prov.29:18 [KJV]
Life is a battle. You do not need to spend long on earth to discover that life is a battle. From birth the baby had to breakthrough; it comes into a strange world. The first thing that comes out of the baby’s mouth is a cry. And the battle never stops; the last victory or defeat will be with death. For those of us that are saved, it is a victory already because death where is your sting. But until that last battle, the struggle continues. Like any military commander, spectacular success depends on your ability to think and act strategically. You are the general of your life. You call Read the rest of this entry
H.A.L.T!
“Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out… But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me… you will not bring this community into the land I give them” Num.20:11-12 [NIV]
#3. Decisions! Decisions!! Decisions!!! This is one thing I can hear in my spirit consistently. Your decisions, they say, determine your destiny. It is not the devil; it is your decisions that determine your destiny. The turn you take or you do not take. Your decisions will either hasten or halt your destiny. So watch out for what I call the destiny H.A.L.T signs. Do not make impulsive decisions when you see a halt sign so as not to halt your destiny. What is a halt sign and how do we recognize a halt sign?
R.E.P. God
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to breaking of bread and to prayer… All the believers were together and had everything in common” Acts 2:42 & 44 [NIV]
#2: Your personal relationship with Jesus is key. This is the second derivative of Victory. Do not move without the Holy Spirit. Has God sent you on that journey? If not, then do not do it. Do not just do things because you can. I am passionate about seeing people grow spiritually so much that my first book ever, New Creation Reality, is about spiritual growth. I have crystalized spiritual growth into three words and to help you remember these three things is the acronym– R.E.P. For you to grow spiritually, the first thing you have to pay attention to is your Read the rest of this entry
Take Note IV
“Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power… so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel…” John 13:3-5[NIV]
Today we start with the story of a professor in the United States, probably a philosophy professor. One day, at the end of his class with the auditorium still filled with students, he said there is no God. And he put forward a challenge. He said if there is God let Him knock me off this stage in five minutes. Everywhere went quiet, and then he began to look at his watch and mock God. Interestingly a three hundred pound [about 130kg] American football player heard the professor while he was waiting in the corridor for his friend that was in the class. And after a while the football player ran into the auditorium, carried the professor and slammed him on the ground. The professor was furious and Read the rest of this entry
Step Aside & Listen
“I will take my place at the watchtower. I will stand at my post and watch. I will watch and see what He says to me. I need to think about how I should respond to Him When He gets back to me with His answer” Hab.2:1[VOICE]
“We do not learn by experience. We learn from experience by reflecting” –Anonymous. This is so true. Things happen to us every day, if we learn by experience, everybody will be so smart. But most of the time, we are not even paying attention. We do not even take time out to reflect on the things that happen to us daily. A whole lot has happened in this year already. God is saying to you, Solitude! You need time Read the rest of this entry
Think & Thank
“Seven times every day I praise You because of Your right rulings. Those who love Your law have an abundance of peace, and nothing along their paths can cause them to stumble” Ps. 119:164-165 [Voice]
God’s instruction for us in this season is Re-Tune. We have seen some of the things that detune us. And we have learnt that the desired frequency, the pitch perfect tune is joy. This joy comes with righteousness and peace. So how do those of us that are out of tune re-tune? And how do those of us that Read the rest of this entry
Righteousness, Peace, & Joy!
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Rom.14:17
Watch out for Anger, Hope Deferred, Greed, and Anxiety because they can put you out of tune.
#5. Life. The fifth thing that detunes us is actually life. We get out of tune by reason of use. Life just happens. You set your course at the beginning of the year but as days go by, life happens. A lot of people have New Year resolutions. In fact, some have Read the rest of this entry
His Space?
“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” Ps.37:25 [KJV]
God wants us to watch out for Anger, Hope Deferred and Greed because they detune us.
#4. Anxiety. Another thing that detunes us is anxiety. As the first quarter in the year comes to an end, a lot of people get anxious. And it because – I thought by now I 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].
