Count The Cost!
“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart” Col.4:2
“When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him. It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it. Don’t let your mouth make you sin. And don’t defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise you made was a mistake. That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved. Talk is cheap, like daydreams and other useless activities. Fear God instead” Ecc.5:4-7.
Know The Enemy I
“The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other… Gal.5:17
Permit me to reiterate our last thoughts from yesterday. God is a Godhead [God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit] and I have inherited His enemies. To fully understand the enemy and how it works you need to know the enemy of the Father, the enemy of the Son, and the enemy of the Holy Spirit. Read the rest of this entry
The Godhead
“All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him” Luke 10:22 [KJV]
The Godhead is a Trinity – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. To understand God, you must understand and relate with each member of the Trinity. You must understand that even though He is one God, He is three persons [three personalities]. As a believer you must know how to relate with the Father, you must know how to relate with the Read the rest of this entry
Domestic Affairs III
“Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly” Col.3:19
“Husbands, love your wives [be affectionate and sympathetic with them] and do not be harsh or bitter or resentful toward them” Col.3:19 [AMP, emphasis added]. That word affectionate there means to be romantic. Men, God is saying be romantic, it is in the Bible. Chivalry should not die, be romantic. Some gentleman came to me and said he had been Read the rest of this entry
Freedom vs. License?
“Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism…” Rom.6:1-2
Grace is freedom from sin, grace is not license to sin! If you do not understand grace, you would think grace is license to sin. You would think it acceptable to sin and you can always come back to the Blood of Jesus for cleansing. That was what Paul was addressing when he said to the Romans should you continue sinning so that grace should abound, God forbid. In Read the rest of this entry
Fly Again
“Then he said, “The truth is, you must change your thinking and become like little children. If you don’t do this, you will never enter God’s kingdom. The greatest person in God’s kingdom is the one who makes himself humble like this child” Matt.18:3-4.
Over the next few weeks we will be learning how to make our lives count and I am confident that God will change your lives completely. This was birthed from a process God took me through. When we were growing up a lot of us, if not all of us made statements like this, ‘when I grow up I want to…’ ‘When I grow up I will…’. But recently, I realized that I now say ‘before I Read the rest of this entry
Grounded
“Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness” Col.2:7
Where your treasure is there your heart will be also. It is as simple as that and this is why God wants your money. I hope all this is beginning to make sense to you now. Say it aloud to yourself; God wants my money because He wants my life.
God gives some men of God graces in different areas. I understand that but some people are just Read the rest of this entry
He Is Here
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us’” Matt.1:23 [emphasis added].
“…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” Matt.18:20. We do not have to beg or cajole God to be with us or come along with us. He is here with us already. When Jesus was going [John 14], He said I am going but I will come again to you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come in and with My Spirit. So the Holy Spirit was released to us. In fact, He is known as the Spirit of Read the rest of this entry
Do It Daily
‘And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God’ Deut.26:10 [KJV]
The fifth thing you have to reinforce or learn these last few days of the year and put before you in the coming year is make God priority. You must make God priority daily. Everyone that will have a significant walk with God, that will walk in unprecedented prosperity, and favour must understand the place of prioritizing God. It is called the principle of first fruits. If you check from Genesis to Revelations, God demonstrates this principle in different scenarios but it is the same principle. The God first principle! Who taught Abel to bring the first fruit of his flock to God? Something on the inside of Read the rest of this entry
Provocative Word
‘Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be’ Gen.17:5 & 15.
Even as 2014 comes to an end and as we look forward to 2015, God is saying destiny provoking name change. For some people, God is going to give you a new name before the end of this year. However, for some the name you are carrying is the issue. God had to change Abraham’s name from Abram to Abraham because that is His prophetic destiny. The name Abram was good but it was not great. So you need to carry the name of your Read the rest of this entry
