Learn To Obey II
“…This little girl served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress, “I wish my master would meet the prophet who lives in Samaria. He would cure him of his disease” 2 Kings 5:2-3 [NCV]
You must have the ability to identify an instruction and to obey it. Guess what? In a community, an instruction can come from downward vertical. God can use someone that is under you to talk to you. He can; He is God! God caused a donkey to talk to a Prophet. It can be horizontally. You can get an instruction from God from your peers. And obviously, it can be upward vertical. When God uses someone to give you an instruction, mostly, it is not something Read the rest of this entry
Learn To Obey I
“…teach older women to be holy in their behavior, not speaking against others or enslaved to too much wine, but teaching what is good. Then they can teach the young women to love their husbands to love their children” Titus 2:3-4 [NCV]
The way community is structured is that you always have upward vertical, downward vertical and horizontal relationships. The challenge is that many people do not know how to respond in these levels of relationships. People want to pull out of community because maybe the people in their horizontal relationships are competing with them or vice versa and that is not healthy. Some people do not want to be responsible for other people in their downward Read the rest of this entry
Be Sensitive
“So approximately 3,000 warriors were sent, but they were soundly defeated… Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take all your fighting men and attack Ai, for I have given you the king of Ai, his people, his town, and his land” Josh.7:4 & 8:1
There is intelligence in the spirit realm and you need to tap into it with the help of the Holy Spirit. For instance, Job was minding his own business and there were discussions going on in heaven about Job; but he was clueless. Assuming Job could tap into heaven and understand what was going on, perhaps he could have responded better. Perhaps he could have pleaded his case with God. There have been Read the rest of this entry
H.A.L.T!
“Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out… But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me… you will not bring this community into the land I give them” Num.20:11-12 [NIV]
#3. Decisions! Decisions!! Decisions!!! This is one thing I can hear in my spirit consistently. Your decisions, they say, determine your destiny. It is not the devil; it is your decisions that determine your destiny. The turn you take or you do not take. Your decisions will either hasten or halt your destiny. So watch out for what I call the destiny H.A.L.T signs. Do not make impulsive decisions when you see a halt sign so as not to halt your destiny. What is a halt sign and how do we recognize a halt sign?
Step Aside & Listen
“I will take my place at the watchtower. I will stand at my post and watch. I will watch and see what He says to me. I need to think about how I should respond to Him When He gets back to me with His answer” Hab.2:1[VOICE]
“We do not learn by experience. We learn from experience by reflecting” –Anonymous. This is so true. Things happen to us every day, if we learn by experience, everybody will be so smart. But most of the time, we are not even paying attention. We do not even take time out to reflect on the things that happen to us daily. A whole lot has happened in this year already. God is saying to you, Solitude! You need time Read the rest of this entry
