Robed & Sifted
Luke 24:49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”
Every major work that will be done for God, must be by the power of God. God has a great destiny for you. You are made for more. But wait until you get filled and robed with power. I pray that God will robe you with power. Yes, you are made for more,
Be Prepared
Jeremiah 1:10 “See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” (KJV)
We will kick off with our final thought from yesterday’s devotional which is to expect a backlash as you engage and navigate altars. Every time you tackle the altar of Baal (whatever it represents in your life),
Destiny Manoeuvres
Jeremiah 1:10 “See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” (KJV)
To be released into more, you need to Navigate The Altars. Judges 6:25-26 “That night the Lord said to Gideon, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one that is seven years old.
Take Action
Judges 6:25 “That night the Lord said to Gideon, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one that is seven years old. Pull down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole standing beside it. ”
After an Honest Admittance of Current, the next thing you must do to be released into more is Navigate The Altars. Gideon built an altar to God. And we have resources on Altars on the GFH Academy and the GFHPodcast on iTunes. Read the rest of this entry
Current Not Permanent
Psalm 40:17 “[As for me] I am poor and needy, yet the Lord takes thought and plans for me. You are my Help and my Deliverer. O my God, do not tarry!” (AMPC).
To be released into more, the first thing that is required is an Honest Admittance of Current Situation. What is your current situation? Do not be dishonest, just say it like it is because that situation can change. Read the rest of this entry
Be Honest
Psalm 69:2-3 “Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire; I can’t find a foothold. I am in deep water, and the floods overwhelm me. I am exhausted from crying for help; my throat is parched. My eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to help me.”
Until you see things for what they are, you cannot be more than you are. To be released into more Gideon is teaching us that an honest admittance of the current situation is the first step. Read the rest of this entry
Admit It
Judges 6:14-15 “Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!” “But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!”
To move from zero to hero, from less than enough to more than enough. To move from just managing and struggling to get by, to a place in God where you have over and above, and you are walking in the destiny that God has for you. We will be learning five things from the story of Gideon beginning today. Are you ready? Read the rest of this entry
Step Out
Judges 6:14 “Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!”
Remember the example of the fish in a bowl? The fish most likely feels restricted even though it knows that it is made for more. However, until the fish can leap into the ocean, the fish should stay in the bowl. Read the rest of this entry
Tongue Power
2 Samuel 23:2 “The Spirit of the Lord speaks through me; his words are upon my tongue. God’s Spirit spoke through me, his words took shape on my tongue.” (NLT & MSG)
When we were much younger, when we went to the doctor for a medical check-up, the doctor would bring out a spatula. Then the doctor will use it to flatten the tongue. I always used to wonder what the doctor was looking for on my tongue. Was the doctor looking to see the food I ate? Or would he be able to tell that I took an extra piece of meat? What is the doctor always looking for on the tongue? The truth about the tongue is it reveals what is going on inside you. By examining the tongue, the doctor can tell whether you are ill, or well, or at least a pointer to what the issue might be.
A lot of times, we look at ourselves and deep down we tend to question if God is really for us. Meanwhile, the real question is are you really for yourself? How come that is the question? It is because when you hear the things coming out of some people’s tongues, it is like the things coming out of the mouth of the enemy’s mouth. Meanwhile, it is the person speaking. So, if you really want to know the direction your life is moving, do not look very far, look at the words that are coming out of your mouth. If you want to know where you will be five or ten years from now, check what you are saying now.
You are where you are today because of what you are saying to yourself, good or bad. The great things that are going to happen, plus the ones that have happened, happened because of what you have said. The bad things you wish did not happen but happened because of your tongue and what you have said. Someone said, “You form your words then your words form your future”. All you need to do is form your words, your words will form your future. Do not struggle to form your future because largely your future is created by your words.
The biggest thing that God wanted to do with Gideon was to make him align with God. So that Gideon’s words can align with God’s Word. God allowed Gideon to confirm His Word in several ways (please read Judges 6:17-22, & 36-40). God indulged Gideon because until Gideon was convinced about what God was saying to him, Gideon could not possess the future God had for him. Until you are convinced about what God is saying to you, you cannot possess the future that God has for you. It is when you are convinced, that you begin to speak it.
Prayer: Father, Your Spirit speaks through me, His Words take shape on my tongue, and I speak only what the Holy Spirit says, in Jesus Name. Amen!
Zero To Hero
Judges 6:11-12 “Then the angel of the Lord came and sat beneath the great tree… Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!”
You may be threshing wheat at the bottom of the winepress. But God is saying you are made for more. You may be hiding and that may be sufficient at the time. But God is saying to you are made for more. Read the rest of this entry
