Greater Still
Jn.14:12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.”
Jesus is saying you will do greater works than Him and it is to the glory of the Father and to the praise and glory of Jesus. Phillip did greater works in Samaria than Jesus. When Jesus went to Samaria, no cripple walked, no lame got up, everybody that had demons still went back with their demons and it was Jesus that was with them. There are labors that you are making now that your children will reap the harvest; so keep your focus. No work for God is ever lost! The work of God is trans-generational.
Use Me
Ps.145:5 Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking; I compose songs on your wonders.
6 Your marvelous doings are headline news; I could write a book full of the details of your greatness” [MSG]
Mary obviously knew the Word. Most of the words in Mary’s song were direct quotes from the Old Testament [Luke 1:46-55]. She knew and wrote God’s Word by heart. The more you know God’s Word, the less you worry. The less you know God’s Word, the more you worry. If you are filled with worry, it is an indication of your knowledge of God and of His Word. Your assignment today is to memorize one scripture a week. You can start with one a week and then grow to one a day. There are a lot of websites that can help you do that; one of them is dailybiblepromise.com.
Take Action I
Ex.17:9 “Moses called for a young leader named Joshua. Moses (to Joshua): Select some of our best men, and go fight against the soldiers of Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand at the crest of that hill overlooking the battlefield with God’s staff in my hand” [Voice, with emphasis].
The beauty about God’s Word is that the more you engage it, the more it engages you and the more it accomplishes in and through you. Please read Exodus 17:8-13. The second thing we see is that the Power to Prevail is released when you Take Action. You are the general of your life and great generals take action. Moses did not just wait for Amalek. Moses took action and initiated the battle against the Amalekites.
Action Time!
James 2:19 You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. 20 How foolish! Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless [action]? [emphasis added].
Question 4: Am I taking action? The question you need to ask yourself to go forward is, “Am I taking action?” Walt Disney says, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” –Walt Disney. This sounds simple, right? Unfortunately a lot of people just talk and do nothing. You have been talking about those business ideas forever; when are you going to start? The question you need to ask yourself to go forward is, “Am I taking action?” Some people spend several months just talking about developing themselves Read the rest of this entry
Amen!
Lam.3:37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? [KJV]
Who is it that says you will not fulfill your destiny and you are afraid, when God has not said it? Who can command things to happen without the Lord’s permission? Num.23:23 No curse can touch Jacob; no magic has any power against Israel. For now it will be said of Jacob, ‘What wonders God has done for Israel!’ Personalize it, replace Jacob in this Scripture with your own name and take the Scripture back to God.
What Counts
Gen.32: 28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”
What has God said to you? When such questions are posed, some people immediately connect and are fired up. But some others feel lost because they are still developing their hearing from God. If you are a member of God’s Favourite House, then you already have a Word from God. God has said concerning us, “Establishment, Bloom, Victory, Rejoice… and in this season He says changing destinies for good. This is God’s Word, you have to take it to heaven and lock it down. And as days follow the night, you will have victory, His Read the rest of this entry
Lock It Down!
Gen.32:24 “…But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.””
How can a man wrestle with God and win? It is easy to read this and miss the weight of the exchange that happened and the statement that God made. The Lord is God, the God of all the earth. The One that gave boundaries to the proud waves of the sea; the same One that gives command to the lightening and marches out the stars every night. He is God, the One who humbles the proud and dispossesses mighty kings. The One whose breath laid bare the depths of the Red Sea. This same God wrestled with Jacob and Read the rest of this entry
Worthy?
Matt.22:13 Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Please read Matthew 22. If you are like me, you would agree that the king’s sentence is rather harsh, right? When I read this, I wrestled with it. What has he done to deserve being cast into outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth? And then it occurred to me that being called is a function of favour but being chosen is a function of being worthy. Many are called but few are chosen. I pray that you will be part of the chosen and that you will be worthy in Jesus Name.
Price Tag
Lu.11:9 [NIV] “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened”
So many people just sit around waiting for breakthroughs. Can I tell you a secret? Every time you are waiting for a breakthrough, your breakthrough is waiting for you. Every time you are waiting for favour, your favour is waiting for you. People are waiting for open doors; God wants you to get up and break down the door. If you knock and the door does not open, break it down! And that is God’s heart revealed to us in the parables in Luke 11.
Block II
1 John 4:18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
Actions speak louder than words, they say. So have your actions been voicing your need for God or have they been stating otherwise? The story is told of a little boy who was deeply upset at the fact that at mealtime, his mother would always stop them from eating just to pray. One day after his mother got back from the market, he said, “Mum, let’s Read the rest of this entry
