Debunking Lies III
‘It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God’ 2 Cor.3:5
The enemy will try to put things in our way to convince us that we are insignificant and unimportant. Another lie the enemy says is that you are not good enough. He says things like, you are not so bad but you are not good enough. You need to become better to matter. The truth is that you and I can never be good enough in your own strength [Isa.64:6]. Yet in Christ Jesus, you are good enough for God. In your own strength you cannot be good enough. No matter how hard you try. It is impossible. Yet when you Read the rest of this entry
The Anointing
‘And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing… for God was with him.’ Acts 10:38
The presence of God creates the anointing. And the anointing sustains the presence. They go hand in hand. If Jesus needed the anointing, trust me, you need the anointing too. God anointed Jesus and He will anoint you too but you must desire it. The anointing does a couple of things in the life of every believer besides breaking yokes. The anointing enables you to walk in the supernatural, Jesus was anointed and He was able to walk in the supernatural. There anointing prepares you for the work that Read the rest of this entry
Little Beginnings II
‘He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!’ Isa.28:10
The days of little beginnings are not days of lazy beginnings. The Bible says, ‘the Lord rejoices to see the work begin’. The foundation of every project is the most important part. God wants to teach you the little things that lead to establishment. Pay attention. ‘…one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there’. Excusing laziness at your foundational stage will only lead to lack. Little beginnings can also be equated to the place of waiting perhaps for the next big thing or for the doors to open unto you. God has placed Read the rest of this entry
Little Beginnings I
‘Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin…’ Zech.4:10
A lot of times we are so caught up with racing to the top that we miss out on vital lessons we need to learn along the way to the top. Never ignore the things you think are time wasting or useless. Most of the time, these are the lessons you will need in future. We are always so caught up with the seemingly big things that we tend to miss out on, overlook and grumble about the seemingly little things God is doing. ‘He who is faithful in little will be faithful in much’. It is the little things that God has begun that will lead you to the Read the rest of this entry
Incompetence
‘Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men’ Proverbs.22:29 [KJV]
‘Using a dull axe requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed’ Ecc.10:10. You have been given the axe and the wood, however succeeding at this task is tied to sharpening the blade of the axe. Incompetence would mean knowing the blade needs to be sharpened but refusing to sharpen it. Incompetence is the bane of a lot of people. Many times, we excuse incompetence when we should not. For instance, a math teacher who does not know how to solve equations has no business teaching Read the rest of this entry
The Daniel Spirit
‘Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was found in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm’ Daniel.6:3 [KJV]
Excellence is what sets you apart from average. To excel is to go beyond the ordinary. An excellent person is always preferred and selected above people who are just good. God has placed a seed of excellence in everyone He created. All we need to do is develop that seed up to the fruit bearing stage. Daniel did not become excellent when he interpreted Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. His excellence didn’t start when he interpreted the writings on the wall, neither did it start when the king put him in charge of the whole kingdom. His Read the rest of this entry
Dispelling Storms:Personal Revelation
‘…Elisha prayed, O LORD, open his eyes and let him see! The LORD opened the …man’s eyes, and… he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire’ 2kings 6:17
Personal revelation is key to dispelling both internal and external storms. You need to know without any shadow of doubt that Jesus is in your boat. It requires a personal revelation God wants to open your eyes because you need to have your own personal revelation amidst the storm. No other person’s revelation will work for you. Read 2 kings 6:15-17. Elisha could remain calm in the midst of a storm because he had personal revelation. Even though Elisha told the young man not to be afraid, it was not enough to dispel his fears. The Read the rest of this entry
Why Fast: Part 6
‘Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed’ Ecc.4:9.
Two Are Better Than One: God says two are better than one. This is one of the benefits of being planted in your Church family. None of us is as strong as all of us, no matter how anointed you are. Once another person’s anointing is added to yours, it increases the anointing. There is a cooperate anointing that is released when we fast as a Church. There is a cooperate dimension to grace and favour that yields increased life changing breakthroughs which perhaps individuals cannot attain on their own. ‘Go and gather together all the Read the rest of this entry
Direction
‘I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race… It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time’ Ecc.9:11
‘…being in the right place at the right time’. The Way is the most crucial part of acceleration. It would be futile to pride yourself as the fastest runner whereas in every race, you accelerate in the opposite direction, away from the finish line. What is the point of accelerating when you are heading in the wrong direction? ‘You may think you are on the right road and still end up dead’ Prov.14:12 [CEV]. Increased speed in the Read the rest of this entry
By My Spirit
‘Then He said to me, “This is what the LORD says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies’ Zech.4:6.
It is important that as children of the Most High God, we take our Father’s Word to heart because it is always as He says it would be. How far you go and how high you climb will not be by your power, it cannot be by your strength, it will only be by the Holy Spirit. So let your prayer be ‘Lord have your way’. Acceleration only comes from God and can only be sustained by His Spirit. When you operate by the Spirit, all you will do is put Read the rest of this entry
