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.
Take The Stand I
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh…” Ex.8:20.
I like using my work out time to listen to a variety of podcasts. I was listening to Dave Ramsey’s podcast and two people called in. The first person, a gentleman said his wife was a spend drift. He wants to take charge of their finances but all she loves to do is shop. Personally, I would say there is nothing wrong with shopping but you have to take charge of your financial future. The gentleman said they separated at some point because of it but because he loves her so much, he went Read the rest of this entry
Free From Fear
“Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread” Isa.8:13 .
For you to fulfill your destiny, you will have to do some things regardless of the fear you feel. Being fearless is not the “absence of fear” but the absence of “the fear” of fear. Over the next few days we are going to be looking at three “fears” that attempt to dislocate or displace us from our Stand and prevent us from Standing Tall as the light of the world.
The first is the fear of people’s opinion. Some people have been prevented from being the best they can be because of Read the rest of this entry
His Way
“It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him” John 9:3
Do not let a limitation in one area ground your entire life. Go! Move Forward! It is painful to see people’s lives come to a standstill just because they are trusting God for admission into the University, or for marriage, or for children. God is saying, do not allow a limitation in one area paralyze your whole life. In fact, as you begin Read the rest of this entry
Submission
“Then He spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes” John 9:6
The story in John 9:1-41 is a perfect reference for how to engage the Person of Jesus and deploy the principles of Jesus. From this story, the person of Jesus was engaged and the principles of Jesus were deployed for the miracle to occur and for the glory of God to be revealed. Two principles of Jesus particularly were deployed in the story, before we saw the miracle happen and the glory of God Read the rest of this entry
His Time
“It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him” John 9:3
Miracles bring glory to our God. If you truly understand that miracles bring glory to God you would know that you should not be fretting. In other words, Your life is for His glory. Meaning, if it is well with you, it is for the glory of the Father. Do you understand? So it is in His interest that you are doing well. Which also means you do Read the rest of this entry
Person And Principles
“Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matt.11:29
The world and the church consistently struggle with understanding the Person of Jesus and the principles of Jesus. The truth you and I must accept is, you do not need the Person of Jesus to work the principles of Jesus. There are some principles that are universal and such principles will work whether you are a believer or not. The Read the rest of this entry
Relational Advantage
“When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord” 2 kings 20:2
Be encouraged because Jesus does not need permission from anyone before He sends you help from above. Hezekiah knew that God did not need Isaiah’s permission to help him. So when Isaiah had delivered his message from God, Hezekiah faced God himself. And it was because he knew that God does not need the permission of the Read the rest of this entry
