Not As Humans
2 Cor.6:7 “…We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense.”
Over the past few weeks, we spent a lot of time laying a foundation and establishing the building blocks to fight and gain victory. Over the next few days we will be looking at the weapons of our warfare. Read the rest of this entry
For Your Good
Ps.139:3 “You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. 4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. 5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.”
God has given you this commandment so that it will be well with you and with your children. It is love to teach this commandment to your children, because it will do them good. The reality is that we are not doing our parents a favour by honouring them.
Love Truly
Rom.8:31 “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?”
A kidnapper says, “You are mine” on the basis of power. A lover says, “You are mine” on the basis of affection. You may submit to raw power but you will never love raw power. When a servant hears, “You are mine”, do you know it creates a different set of emotions than when a child hears, “You are mine?” What goes through the servant’s mind when he hears, “You are mine” is probably, ‘one day I will get my freedom and I too will become a master.’ But the child will also say to the father or mother, “You are my daddy or Mummy!” The emotions and the responses are always different based on the relationship.

Dealings
Matt.15:8 ‘These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’”
You have to choose whether to honour God or not. Honour is the singular proof that a child loves his father. It is not the frequency of the hugs or how often you confess your love. It is honour that is proof of your love for your Father. Read the rest of this entry
Backed Up
Jer.1:18-19 (MSG) “Stand at attention… I’m making you as impregnable as a castle, Immovable as a steel post, solid as a concrete block wall. You’re a one-man defense system… They’ll fight you, but they won’t even scratch you. I’ll back you up every inch of the way.” God’s Decree.”
God is going to crush every resistance of and every affliction from the enemy in your life, in Jesus Name. When you begin to become, expect resistance – just expect it. Jesus says, “I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” Read the rest of this entry
Gaining & Sustaining Victory
Jude 1:24 [KJV] “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.”
We gain lasting victory by turning to Jesus. When you are consumed by the love of Jesus, believe me, everything else fades away. The things that used to control you in the past, lose their hold on you because you have turned to a new love from the old love. Read the rest of this entry
Body of Proof
1 Kings 18: 36 “…O Lord …prove today that you are God in Israel… Prove that I have done all this at your command. 38 Immediately the fire of the Lord flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water…”
In God’s Favourite House, we are totally grateful for the Presence of the Holy Spirit and we are grateful that at every meeting, it pleases the Holy Spirit to deliver the burden of proof that He is alive. The burden of proof is His way of saying, “I am alive, I am here and I am in charge.” Read the rest of this entry
Step Up Lesson 2
Isa.45:19 “I publicly proclaim bold promises. I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner. I would not have told the people of Israel to seek me if I could not be found. I, the LORD, speak only what is true and declare only what is right.”
The step up lesson from the life of Enoch is, it is possible to please God and when we delight in what is in His heart, God will not deprive us of what is in His hands. Our focus is not on what is in His hands but rather on what is in His heart. We want God’s heart. Read the rest of this entry
Time & Effort
2 Kings 17:36 But worship only the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt with great strength and a powerful arm. Bow down to him alone, and offer sacrifices only to him.
Ps. 147:11 [ERV] “The Lord enjoys people who worship him and trust in his faithful love.” God wants you to worship Him in spirit and in truth. He wants you to release your spirit, your soul, and your body to Him. Read the rest of this entry
Arise!
Ex.19:20 “The Lord came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses climbed the mountain” [with emphasis]
#3. Climb Up! Climbing requires effort. For you to rise up spiritually, it has to be deliberate. In God’s Favourite House, we make consistent and deliberate effort to climb as a church through seasons of waiting on the Lord. Read the rest of this entry
