Go!
Haggai 2:7 “I will shake all the nations, and the treasures of all the nations will be brought to this Temple. I will fill this place with glory, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”
Today we will kick off with our closing thought from yesterday, which is holding on to what God has placed a demand on renders that thing useless to you. Take the principle of tithing for instance, whoever decides to keep God’s ten percent will not only lose that ten percent, the person will end up losing everything. That is just how it works. Anything you do not honor God with becomes labeled for destruction. That is how it works.
Get To Work!
Isa.40:29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
The world has no sympathy for the weak. The only place where your weakness is valuable is in the Presence of God. That is the only place where, when we are weak, we are made strong. It is in His Presence that we can exchange our weakness for His strength. “Unto him that overcometh”, this phrase is repeated a couple of times in the Book of Revelations. The Bible does not have any message directed toward him that is defeated. That is very instructive to us. You have to be strong. Yes it is tough but you have to be strong Read the rest of this entry
Set Free!
Matt.6:14-15 [MSG] “In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can’t get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God’s part”
Do yourself a favour and forgive for your own sake. I love to see the power of God at work. Some years ago, I met this lady that had shingles all over her body and for a lady that is a major issue. My friends had set up a prayer session for her and so I joined in. As the prayer session was heating up, I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, “Tell her to forgive her father”. So I stopped the prayers and told my friends what I thought God was saying. So we tried to carefully break it to her but as soon as we mentioned her father, it was like a Read the rest of this entry
For You
Matt.6:12 “and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us…14 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins”
Albert Einstein says, “It’s not that I’m so smart, but I stay with the questions much longer”. He uncovers much more because he stays with questions much longer. You and I have to learn to stay with questions much longer. Literarily wrestle with the question until illumination comes. We will be spending time examining five seemingly simple questions. My advice is, stay with them like Einstein says, until you get clear answers. And as you wrestle with each one and resolve it, you will go forward faster, in Jesus Name. Amen!
Persistent Obedience
Gen.26:12 “When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him.”
Our lesson today is from the life of Isaac. It is easy to look at our scripture reference today and claim the promise for yourself. But I do not think God wants us to ignore the verses that follow [please read Gen.26:12-25] because they teach us a very important lesson when it comes to going forward. It is a lesson in persistence. Isaac was persistent. God had just changed Isaac’s destiny but with his growth and multiplication, came fierce opposition.
Sorted!
Heb.10:23 “Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise”.
The second Biblical example is from the life of Hannah. Hannah’s story was not just that she was married and childless, her husband was married to another woman that had children for him. So Hannah was childless in the midst of fruitfulness and was consistently ridiculed for it. The place of waiting comes with a certain level of pain that can greatly increase if the people around are not sensitive. But Hannah remained faithful to God. She could easily have focused on her pain and drifted away from God which is what a lot of Read the rest of this entry
The Rock
1Jn.1:8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
I can tell you for a fact that there is no demonic oppression in the covenant of Abraham because I checked it through and through. The covenant does not include curses. In fact it states that anyone that curses you is cursed. There is no sickness in the covenant. Instead it states that “You will serve the Lord, your God, and He will bless your bread and your water and He will not put any of these diseases upon you” [Ex.23:25]. I checked and there is no stagnation. It says, Isaac grew until he became exceedingly great [Gen.26:12-13].
Diagnosis
Jude 1: 9 “But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses’ body.)”
What you will be able to shoulder [spiritually, financially, and maritally] depends on how solid your foundation is. What you will be able to shoulder even maritally depends on the foundation that exists. A lot of marriages today are crumbling because their foundation is weak. Some people cannot even hold the great jobs they get because of foundational issues. For some, everything runs smoothly as long as their financial breakthrough is within the range of hundreds of thousands but as soon they hit the tens of millions, they almost Read the rest of this entry
The Repercussion
Gen.27:36 “Esau exclaimed, “No wonder his name is Jacob, for now he has cheated me twice. First he took my rights as the firstborn, and now he has stolen my blessing. Oh, haven’t you saved even one blessing for me?” [emphasis added].
Really, who is the thief here? Gen.25:29 “One day when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau arrived home from the wilderness exhausted and hungry. 30 Esau said to Jacob, “I’m starved! Give me some of that red stew!” …31 “All right,” Jacob replied, “but trade me your rights as the firstborn son.” 32 “Look, I’m dying of starvation!” said Esau. “What good is my birthright to me now?” 33 But Jacob said, “First you must swear that your birthright is mine.” So Esau swore an oath, thereby selling all his rights as the firstborn to his brother, Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn” [emphasis added]. Read the rest of this entry
