Do Not Miss It!
“I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work” Jn.9:4
Yesterday, we began to look at the four enemies of exploitation and we learnt that the first one is Procrastination. And it dovetailed into us bringing three characteristics of opportunity into focus. We established that the first characteristic opportunity is that opportunities multiply as they are seized.
A Message For You II
‘Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on that lies before you’ Prov.4:23-25.
The Holy Spirit’s second message for you is you need to develop a thick skin and a soft heart. Pain is inevitable. You will hurt and I assure you that you will hurt badly but don’t get hardened. Learn to develop a thick skin and a soft heart and not the converse. The typical thing for many people is they go through things and develop a hard heart and a thin skin. With a thin skin, they get irritated at the slightest thing. They are suspicious of everybody, even the people that mean well. They a hard heart Read the rest of this entry
Enduring Word
‘So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses’ Job 42:12 [KJV].
No matter how you start you must learn to endure. This year has begun well for a lot of people, praise God for that. But the fact that you have begun well is not a determinant of how the ending will be. But we know that Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending. So if He has begun well with you, you can trust that things will go well with you and He will end even better with you in the Name of Jesus. You must learn to endure – persevere. You must be consistently diligent. And one way to Read the rest of this entry
Heaven’s Timetable
‘For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven… Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time…’ Ecc.3:1 & 11.
Once you have qualified the dream and authenticated the vision, I have just one advice for you; give your life to it. For some of us the truth is that the vision that God is going to give us is going to be embedded in the vision of another person. Some people cannot stand that and that is a problem. Pharaoh understood that the vision for his country’s prosperity was embedded in Joseph’s vision but Joseph’s brothers didn’t understand that. Read the rest of this entry
A Vulnerable Heart
‘I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night’ Ps.63:6
Everything starts with an idea. Many times when God wants to give us a vision for our lives, He starts by giving us a mental picture –an idea. Some of us get most of our ideas in the bathroom. Have you experienced getting songs in the bathroom? Have you ever wondered why? The reason is that when a lot of people come to church, even though people hear from God in church also, they are full of themselves. They seem like they are Read the rest of this entry
Seek Wisdom, Secure Favour
‘All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people…’ 2 Tim.3:16-17
There are things that God will show you that are just for you. Be wise not to share it with anyone. I don’t think that is what God wants you to do; perhaps just your spouse alone, but do it wisely. ‘Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures’ Prov.2:2-4. This is why you need to have a relationship with Read the rest of this entry
Major Shift
And they replied, “We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean.” “Interpreting dreams is God’s business,” Joseph replied. “Go ahead and tell me your dreams.” Gen.40:8
In God’s Favourite House, our vision is to be filled with the life of Christ Jesus, and released into our destinies, taking the world for Him. The fulfillment of our destiny is when you are released into your destiny. When you are propagating your dream and you make your own dream priority, you will land yourself in prison. Even your brothers will hate you. When you make it about other people’s dreams and you use your own dream to serve Read the rest of this entry
Timing
‘For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven’ Ecc.3:1.
I learnt a three-pronged strategy for resting from Rick Warren and I will share it with you again today. I have used it for years and it is so effective. You deflect daily, you withdraw weekly, and you abandon annually. Deflecting daily simply means every day there are things I do that are just mundane. It could be a wrestling match with my wife; we are not fighting but just tumbling around. Or ‘I touch you last’ [Tag you’re it] game; do Read the rest of this entry
God Sized
‘I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guard post. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer my complaint’ Hab. 2:1.
Firstly, to receive a dream, go to the balcony. When we were growing up, the balcony was where my father would lounge and read his newspaper in the cool of the evening breeze. To you and I, the balcony is a picture of relaxation; a place where you are relaxed and in tune with God. It is a place where you go to get an idea from heaven. ‘I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guard post. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer my complaint’ Hab. 2:1. Habakkuk said, ‘I will set my watch’, meaning I will go Read the rest of this entry
A Powerful Force
‘A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.’ Prov.12:11.
The word for you today is, dare to dream again. Dream here does not mean wishful thinking because God expects you to take that dream and work it. Dream here does not mean building castles in the sky. I am talking about ideas that heaven will drop in your heart beginning from today. The ones heaven has dropped, heaven will rekindle in Jesus Name. So when a dream becomes a vision, it becomes powerful.
