Season Of Response I
‘…We realize that we have sinned, but now we are ready to enter the land …It won’t work. Do not go… You will only be crushed …because the LORD is not with you’ Num.14:40-42
With God, there is season of response for every instruction He gives you. One of the dangers of being afraid is that fear can cause you to miss the timing of God. The fact that God has said you should do something does not mean that door will remain open for ever. If you miss the season of response, you may go back to attempt the assignment and fail. In the scripture reference above, Read the rest of this entry
You Matter To Your Church Family
‘Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where He wants it’ 1Cor.12:14&18.
‘The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ’ 1Cor.12:12. The Church is a body. There is a part you have to play. A role that God has carved out for you. That part of the puzzle specially designed for your piece to plug into. If you refuse to plug in, the puzzle remains incomplete. The more we can get people to plug into the purposes of God, the Read the rest of this entry
Plug The Leaks III
‘Not doing what God tells you is far worse than fooling around in the occult. Getting self-important around God is far worse than making deals with your dead ancestors. Because you said No to God’s command, He says No to your kingship’ 1 Sam.15: 23 [MSG]
The third thing that leads to losses is Disobedience to God. You cannot refuse to listen to God and expect establishment. The only answer to this leak is obedience to God. Establishment neither comes from the east nor from the west but from God alone. ‘…It was I who sent this great destroying army Read the rest of this entry
Securing His Presence
‘Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me’ Ps.23:4 [KJV]
The major key to stilling every storm in our lives is securing the presence of God. Safety they say is not in the absence of danger but in the presence of the Lord. His presence guarantees your safety and deliverance inspite of the storm. This is why you repeatedly hear people testify that even though they experienced real life storms with waves crashing and all, their boats did not capsize. ‘Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me’ Read the rest of this entry
God Wants You
‘Long ago the LORD said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself’ Jer.31:3
The best offering you can give God is yourself. The best gift you can give to Him is the gift of you. We are too quick to think that God is interested in what we have and that is why He wants to befriend us. So people think that as soon as they give their tithe and offering they have done their part. It is good to give offerings to God, it is wonderful that we can pay our tithe but this is not what God is after. The Bible says He owns the cattle upon a thousand hills, if God is hungry do you think you can feed Him? What food do you think you can Read the rest of this entry
Foundations of Fasting
‘Then if my people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land’ 2 Chro.7:14
‘…and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land’. The foundation for fasting and praying is repentance. In other words, God is saying repentance guarantees answers to prayer. It is self-deception to still engage in the way of the world and expect results from God when you fast [read Isaiah 58]. ‘What good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling? This kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with Me’ Isa.58:4. You have been living in sin and because Read the rest of this entry
Why Fast: Part 1
‘Paul and Barnabas also appointed elders in every church. With prayer and fasting, they turned the elders over to the care of the Lord, in whom they had put their trust’ Acts 14:23
Your motive provides you with the motivation to engage spiritually. Fasting is a spiritual exercise which when embarked on with the right motives yields bountiful results. Why are you doing what you are doing? Over the next few days, we will be outlining eight reasons every Christian should engage in whole hearted fasting. Today we will examine the first two reasons. Why fast? Read the rest of this entry
Seeking God
‘So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with Him in prayer and fasting’ Dan.9:3a
Seeking God is crucial to our love walk. It is in seeking God that we discover why we do what we do and get the understanding to live according to His purpose. Seeking God requires humility and sacrifice. Fasting is seeking God; a choice to abstain for the purpose of seeking God. The primary reason why we fast is to seek God and be still ‘in His presence where there is fullness of joy’. In other words, when you put certain things aside to make God priority and go deeper, He sorts you out. ‘That is why the LORD says, “Turn to me now, Read the rest of this entry
Accelerators – Part 1
The Lord gave His power to Elijah, who tightened his clothes around him and ran ahead of King Ahab all the way to Jezreel. 1kings 18:46 [NCV]
An accelerator is something that causes an object to increase in speed. In a car, there is a pedal called the accelerator which when pushed causes the car to accelerate. There are certain things that are accelerators that God must press in your life to cause you to accelerate.
- Favour: For some it’s the absence of favour that has limited them. Your set time has come [Ps.102:13]. It was favour that made Jacob prosper despite opposition such that his wealth surpassed that of his employer. When God favours you, people around you will say it’s not fair. The truth is favour isn’t fair. God will show you enormous favour.
- Name Change: Having the wrong name is the reason why some people have been held back. For others, their names are not necessarily bad, in fact they are good names but they do not match the great destiny God has for them. The right name would be the accelerator into our destiny. God will change your good name into a great name according to His purpose. A name that will speak the prophetic into you daily.
- The Anointing: Being yoked together with the wrong thing means you can only move as fast as they can move. Some yokes are not necessary evil yokes, but they are just good yokes but God wants you to do great things. You cannot be connected to a good yoke when you have a great destiny. You won’t go further than good when you have a great destiny. That yoke needs to break ‘not by power, not by might but by the Spirit’ of the Living God [Isa.10:27].
‘So then [God’s gift] is not a question of human will and human effort, but of God’s mercy. [It depends not on one’s own willingness nor on his strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God having mercy on him.]’ Rom.9:16 [AMP].
Thought: Ask God to show you dumb founding favour; to give you a name that speaks of your prophetic greatness; to pour out fresh anointing overflowing in your life, in Jesus Name.
Barrier to Acceleration: Un-confessed Sin
‘People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy’ Prov.28:13.
To ensure that God’s Word of acceleration manifests in full in your life, it is important to know and deal with every obstacle that attempts to impede your acceleration. With cars, there is the barrier of suspension. When it is lifted, the two front tires of the car become suspended. No matter how hard that car accelerates, there will be no change in position until that barrier is removed. God will deal with and remove every of such Read the rest of this entry
