Lay Claim
Numbers 27:4&7 “Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan just because he had no sons? Give us property along with the rest of our relatives…The claim of the daughters of Zelophehad is legitimate. You must give them a grant of land…” (emphasis added).
Heaven validated the claim of the daughters of Zelophehad. As you step forward and make your claim, and as you have been making claims, heaven will validate them in the Name of Jesus. The first lesson from Numbers 27:1-11 (please read) is that the daughters of Zelophehad thought differently. So, Think Differently. The grace to think differently, not to conform, but to be transformed, God will give unto you. And I want to give a special shout-out to a very special group of people reading this today who have been termed non-conformists, outliers, the Òtolorins. If you were the odd one out growing up, then you are the one I am speaking to. God has a huge destiny for you in the Name of Jesus. Don’t believe any lie.
Listen, the things that God has put in your heart may not yet even be available in the law right now. And by this, I mean that the things that God has put in your heart may be illegal in the current laws. But everything that God has put in your heart, God will put in your hands in the Name of Jesus. Everything heaven has put in your heart; heaven will deliver into your hands in the Name of Jesus. There are buildings that you have seen, but currently, they are architecturally impossible. You will deliver them. There are solutions you have envisioned that they say are scientifically impossible. You will birth them in the Name of Jesus.
The second lesson the daughters of Zelophehad taught us is To Take Hold of Life With Our Own Hands. Take hold of life with your own hands. When it comes to life in God, there is no limitation. Life in God is only limited to your revelation of God. Did you know that? Your life in God and your experience on earth are only limited to your revelation of God. If you see a God that can only give you a “face-me-I-face-you” kind of house. Guess what? That is where you will live. If you see a God that can heal headaches, but cannot heal stomach-ache, that is where your healing experience will stop. If you see a God that can prosper you to a level, but may not be able to take you higher, that is where it stops.
Your experience of God is only limited to your revelation of God. And these ladies teach us that there is no limit in God. You must lay hold on the things God has put in your heart by yourself. If it is going to be, it is going to be up to you. You are the general of your life. I want to challenge you to start to think differently about your life. Think differently about the things you have prayed for, trusted God for, are waiting on God for, and are still outstanding.
Prayer: Father, let all that you have put in my heart be delivered into my hands now, in Jesus Name. Amen!
Breaking Barriers
Numbers 27:7 “The daughters of Zelophehad are justified and speak correctly. You shall surely give them an inheritance among their father’s brethren, and you shall cause their father’s inheritance to pass to them.” (AMPC)
The story of the daughters of Zelophehad (Numbers 27:1-11, please read) is a story of enlargement. These ladies experienced the kind of enlargement that had never been recorded or heard of before. Their father must have trained them. Fathers, you have to train your sons and daughters. Read the rest of this entry
Three Lessons
Genesis 26:22 “Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute over it, so Isaac named the place Rehoboth (which means “open space”), for he said, “At last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”
The first lesson from Isaac’s story is Don’t Strive. The second lesson is Stand On The Shoulders of Giants. People have preached the gospel before we were born. It would be foolish to want to start from… there is no need to start from where Paul started. Read the rest of this entry
Open Road
2 Timothy 2:24 “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient” (KJV, emphasis added).
Don’t Strive! Don’t. The New International Version puts it this way, 2 Timothy 2:24 “And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome…”. It is a misnomer to be a child of God and be known to be a quarrelsome person. Read the rest of this entry
Rehoboth!
Genesis 26:22 “He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarrelled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, “Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.” (NIV)
The background to this story is Isaac reopened the wells his father had dug, which the Philistines had blocked after Abraham’s death. Then Isaac started digging his own wells. But when he attempted to dig his own wells, the people would come and fight with him. Read the rest of this entry
Joseph & Isaac
Psalm 136:21-22 “And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.” (KJV).
Yesterday, we looked at Joseph’s enlargement story. The first lesson from Joseph’s story is that God will create new territories for your enlargement in the Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Trust God!
Psalm 37:1-2 “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.” (KJV, emphasis added).
I don’t know what injustice you think you are facing. I don’t know what you are up against, but Heaven is saying to you, relax because you will laugh last in the Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Fret Not
Psalm 37:3 “Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.” (KJV, emphasis added).
The Word of God will meet you at the point of your need in the Name of Jesus. It is written that He sent His Word, and His Word healed them and delivered them from all their oppressions (Psalm 107:20). Read the rest of this entry
Push!
Psalm 84:7 “They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power]; Each of them appears before God in Zion.” (AMP, emphasis added).
How do you become rich towards God? By investing in the souls of men and the Word of God—two things that never decay, can never be stolen, and will last forever. How rich you are when it comes to investing Read the rest of this entry
