Look Ahead

Heb.12:2 “We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honour beside God’s throne.”

We have established that the barriers to moving from seeing to doing, the barriers to taking bold steps are real. The first barrier to taking bold steps is the barrier of complacency. The second is the barrier of loss or the unwillingness to bear loss. You must be willing to bear loss. Read the rest of this entry

Gladly Overlook

Isaiah 43:16 &18 “I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea… “But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.”

What lies ahead of you will make what you think you have today like nothing, like absolutely nothing. Therefore, you and I need to bury complacency. During the question-and-answer session of the Financial Dominance Course on the GFH Academy, one of the questions raised was, what is the Read the rest of this entry

Arrived?

Phil.3:12-13 Not that I have already obtained … or have already arrived at my goal… Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.” (NIV, emphasis added).

There are barriers that keep people back from moving; from seeing to doing, and God is going to crush these barriers in Jesus Name [say Amen]. In other words, you have received a vision from God and with excitement, you started moving. Read the rest of this entry

See & Do!

Isa.43:19 “For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” (emphasis added).

You can almost hear the pain in God’s voice when He asks, Do you not see it? And this is usually the challenge God has with people most times. What do you see? What does a pathway through the wilderness look like? What will rivers in the dry wasteland be like? Read the rest of this entry

Newness

Genesis 13:14-15 “After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram, “Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west. I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.”

Why sometimes is it so difficult to bring change into our lives? I was having a conversation with Pastor Craig Groeschel about organizational change and honestly, he is an amazing thinker. When I left his office that day, my head was buzzing, and I was writing. Read the rest of this entry

New Season

1 Cor.9:26 “So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.”

Phil.3:12-13Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead” (NIV, emphasis added). Read the rest of this entry

Its Time

Ps.1:1 “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.” (emphasis added)

Yesterday, we began to look at this scripture and the three things that keep us in sync or take us out of sync with the timing of heaven and Jehovah. The first is The Advice You Take. The second thing is Where You Stand. Where do you stand? Read the rest of this entry

Alignment

Prov.3:5 “Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make.” (TPT)

God lives in eternity, He has no limitations, and He is totally boundless. There is nothing in God that is restricting. However, for us to operate, God puts certain systems in place. Knowing how these systems work and actually working these systems, is to our advantage. Read the rest of this entry

Eternal

Rev.22:13 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” (NRSV)

There is a time for everything on earth. However, we are finite, so we struggle because we are dealing with a God that does not have a beginning and does not have an ending. God is eternal, and He does not operate in time. Read the rest of this entry

His Plan, His People II

Ex.5:1 “Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, so that they may celebrate a festival to me in the wilderness.’” (NRSV, emphasis added).

The centre of that great vision that God has planted in your heart has to be God and people. Do not assume that because God has spoken to you it means you can achieve your purpose alone. Moses tried to do it alone and it landed him forty years in the wilderness. Read the rest of this entry
