Habitation
Ps.27:4 (TPT) “…the one thing I seek above all else: I want the privilege of living with him every moment in his house, finding the sweet loveliness of his face, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to live my life so close to him that he takes pleasure in my every prayer.”
I see myself as God’s boy, God’s sheep and freedom for the sheep does not mean running away from the shepherd. In fact, the sheep is only free when it is with the shepherd. We learnt yesterday that one of the major keys to walking in freedom is the presence of the Spirit of Christ. Read the rest of this entry
God’s Decree!
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor …to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, 19 and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.” 21 “The Scripture… has been fulfilled this very day!”
For everyone that has come into God’s presence with a sickness in the body, I want you to lay your hands on that part of your body and command the sickness and pain out of your body. Read the rest of this entry
No More!
Isa.40:2 (GW) “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem and announce to it that its time of hard labor is over and its wrongs have been paid for…” [with emphasis].
In line with my instructions, I have been speaking into specific Marah situations; the Marah of No Helper was the first and yesterday we dealt with the Marah of Mis-stepping. Read the rest of this entry
His Will
Ex.33:15 Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place. 16 How will anyone know that you look favorably on me—on me and on your people—if you don’t go with us? For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.”
A lot of people are too self-absorbed, the best word for it is selfish. It is really unfortunate but for some certain people, when they cry for help, God does not respond. The reason is, when God had a need, Read the rest of this entry
Father’s Love
John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
God has blessed you and no one can reverse it. Yesterday, we showed from the example of Balak that the people of this world are wise. Balak felt threated by Israel but instead of calling his generals into array, he sent them to bring Balaam a prophet of God. Read the rest of this entry
The God Factor
Rom.8:31 “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”
Yesterday we started learning a few things about how to be unstoppable from Numbers 23:1-30 and 24:10-11 [please read]. Our first learning was, we do not need to know most of the battles God fights for us. We just need to make God our dwelling and our covering.
#2: In the place of curses, God brings blessings. This is our second learning point. God replaces curses with blessing. Read the rest of this entry
Cheer Up!
Prov.17:22 “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.”
If only you play a lot, if you will just laugh a lot, if you just allow God to be God, your life will be without stress. Years ago, Read the rest of this entry
Fully Persuaded?
Gen.2: 16 “But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden— 17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”
Eve knew God talked about death, but she did not understand the dimension of death that God was talking about. The death God was talking about was separation from God, spiritual death and she eventually died physically. Read the rest of this entry
Acceptable Response
Dan.6: 14 “Hearing this, the king was deeply troubled, and he tried to think of a way to save Daniel. He spent the rest of the day looking for a way to get Daniel out of this predicament.”
There is such a huge contrast between Darius’ and Nebuchadnezzar’s responses to “defiance”. The reason is, Dairus obviously had experienced Daniel and had respect for him. Nebuchadnezzar on the other hand, had obviously not experienced the three young men and had no respect for them. In addition to that, Nebuchadnezzar had ulterior motives. His decree was out of his insecurity. Darius on the other hand yielded to “yes men” and discovered his error. However, favour and honour made Daniel a target. Some people’s response to favour is to avoid it all together and just coast through life. Some pray that God would reduce their measure of favour so that they will not attract attention. If you are favoured please be humble but embrace it and do not apologize for it or cut yourself down. You are not doing anyone a favour by making yourself look small. Stop it!
I know a family that would always train the domestic staff that they employ. They sponsor the person up to university level and give them a chance to make a life for themselves. So, they took in a boy, very intelligent chap, and started him up on the same path. He got into school and was excelling. One day, the boy’s mother showed up and started crying. She was convinced that the family wanted her son dead because if the people in the village hear of the boy’s progress, they will kill him. She pleaded with them to let him remain at the level of a domestic staff so that she can have her son in old age. They tried to point her to God’s protective covering that is available for her and her son. But when the woman saw that they were not accepting her proposition, she let it be. Then one day, she just showed up and took the boy back to the village.
Some people feel they need to wear rags to prolong their life. I am not saying you should become arrogant but if God’s favour on your life makes you a target, God Himself will protect you. We also see from the responses of the other administrators and high officers, that when people do not respond positively to the favour on another person, they became breakfast for lions. I pray that you will respond well, and those that become jealous of the favour on your life will be breakfast for lions in Jesus Name. If God is blessing your neighbor, He is in your neighborhood, so rejoice!
Prayer: O Lord, fight those fighting me; declare war on them for their attacks on me. Put on your armor, take your shield and protect me by standing in front, in Jesus Name. Amen [Ps.35:1-2, TLB]
Big Picture
Dan.3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came as close as he could to the door of the flaming furnace and shouted: “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stepped out of the fire.
Gen.50: 19 (NKJV) “Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good…”. This was the same Joseph that was hated by his brothers. They Read the rest of this entry
