Recipe For Peace
‘Mary asked the angel, “How can this happen? I am not even married!” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come down to you, and God’s power will come over you. So your child will be called the holy Son of God’ Luke 1:34-35 [CEV]
If you examine Moses’ how and God’s how they were totally different. So plan the best you can but remember that a divine vision will always require divine intervention. So don’t be too preoccupied with trying to figure out the how of the vision. I know this is coming as a shock to some people but it is the truth that will renew your mind today. Don’t be too preoccupied with trying to figure out how. I am sure the question on your mind now is Read the rest of this entry
Waiting Time IV
“The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps, but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil…the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked” Matt.25:3-4&10.
Many of us are too concerned about when it will be our time or when our time will come. The problem is not going to be your time because your time will come. That is outside of your jurisdiction. The issue is, will you be ready when your time comes? Would your plans be ready? Would you be ready as a person? Would you be ready? Abraham Lincoln said, “I will study, I will prepare and my time will come”.
Waiting Time III
‘But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God’ Ruth 1:16
Waiting time is not wasted time, waiting time is People time. When the king’s baker and the cupbearer told Joseph they had dreams, if it were some of us, as soon as we hear the word dreams, we will run because it was dreams that caused our problems initially. But the dream that brought you into the problem is the same dream that will take you out of the problem. You are coming out; so don’t run from people. People propel us to go Read the rest of this entry
Counsel
‘Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety’ Prov.11:14 [KJV]
The fourth thing in authenticating your vision is counsel. I am sure you have heard this before but I will share it again and trust God for fresh revelation. There are five people in my life that I call my advisory board. They know themselves in a way but they have never come together on my account. I don’t make major spiritual decisions without clearing from these five people. So when we were sure that God wanted us to start God’s Read the rest of this entry
Moral Imperative II
‘The Lord said to Moses, “Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt…Then Moses said, “if you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place’ Ex.33:1 & 15.
Does your vision deliver a moral imperative? Does your vision deliver a sense of responsibility so strong that it becomes an instruction for you? If you see someone that is lethargic and has no fire in his or her life, it’s a vision issue. It may be a suggestion for other people but for you it is an instruction. For some people it may be a suggestion; they do not have to work in a school for instance. But for me it is an instruction; I can’t do without Read the rest of this entry
Differentiating
‘O Lord, listen to my cry; give me the discerning mind you promised’ Ps.119:169
The fact that something is possible does not mean it is plausible. The fact that something is possible does not mean you should pursue it. Just differentiating between these two will save you a lifetime of stress. At this point a lot of people would want to know what to look out for. So how do you know what could be that should be, especially now that you know that not everything that could be should be? How do I know what could be that should be? How do I know what dream qualifies to be the vision I should pursue – 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
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.
All Consuming Passion
‘The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him…’ 2Chr.16:9
I like to be very dramatic with my adoration of Jesus. I believe that God delights in my larger than life actions. He will say to the angels, ‘As soon as he wakes up, watch what he is going to do. And as soon as I wake up, I just somersault from my bed, fall face down on the ground and I say “Kaaabiesi o!” [a Yoruba word meaning unquestionable]. The first time I started doing it, I was going to roll and fall off the bed. But my wife noticed and she caught me. I said ‘wait’, so I Read the rest of this entry
Stay On The Wheel!
‘So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over’ Jer.18:3-4.
Let’s go back to the beginning but this time, let’s see what would have happened if things played out differently. The angels were marveling at God just speaking the words and the earth taking shape at His word. ‘Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us’ Gen.1:26. And at this point, the Almighty God bends down, takes dust, and begins to form it. And all the angels begin to speak at once in total amazement. ‘What is He doing? He has been calling forth everything but why is He picking up dust? He is going to get His hands dirty!’ But God is focused on the dust in the palm of His hands, Read the rest of this entry
