The Father’s Heart
Ps.103:7 “He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel”
The ways of God are both the formula [the ordinance of heaven] and the act [the character] of the Father. You must know both to understand the ways of God. It is not just the ordinances; if you know just the formulas you are going to get into trouble. Why? It is because if you know just the formula, you will get the result. The beauty of the formula is that you do not even have to be saved to know it. If you know it and work it, you will get the results but you can lose your soul. It is possible to actually operate under the ordinances of heaven and go to hell.
Be Aware I
Ps.104:3 “You lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind. 4 The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants”
2 Kings 6:15 “When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha. Elisha said something very significant. 2 Kings 6:16 “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” [with emphasis]. If I were that man I would have said, “Sir, it is just you and me standing here and the armies outside are in their hundreds. How can you say there are more on our side?”
Think Trans-generational
Heb.7:10 “For although Levi wasn’t born yet, the seed from which he came was Abraham’s body when Melchizedek collected the tithe from him.”
In Abraham, Levi paid tithe. Levi is about fourth generations from Abraham. A lot of people reading this today are first generation Christians. You are laboring but you are not seeing as much result. Keep on laboring; do not get tired because your children, your grandchildren, your children yet unborn, will see the result. In Abraham, Levi paid tithe. There are seeds you will sow today that the harvest will keep pouring in for generations. Unfortunately, a lot of people are too myopic. God is trans-generational.
His Personn
1 Cor.2:16 “For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.”
God says you have the mind of Christ. You have to be aware that you have it in the first place before you can operate in it and unleash it. And now that you know what God says about you, unleash the mind of Christ in your home and in your business. Do you know what God is thinking about you right now? I am not saying you should guess. You need to be aware that you have access to His thinking. So let this stir up in you a burning desire to unleash the mind of Christ that you have.
Into-Me-See
1 Cor.2: 11 “No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.”
The third step to confidently facing the future is to be secure in your relationship with Jesus. It is all about Jesus. Being in a relationship with Jesus gives you access to three things and these three things make all the difference in dealing with fear. Being in a relationship with Jesus gives you access to His Presence. In Him we live, in Him we move, and in Him we have our being. Being in a relationship with Him makes it possible for you to sustain His Presence. Isa.41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand” [TLB]
Make It Count
Psa.37:25 “I have been young and now I am old. And in all my years I have never seen the Lord forsake a man who loves him; nor have I seen the children of the godly go hungry” [TLB, with emphasis]
Happy Anniversary God’s Favourite House! God has been faithful and we are truly grateful for seven years of His unwavering presence. There are many seasons that felt like we were walking on water but through it all, God was right beside us. There were many steps we took just holding unto His voice, and we plunged forward despite the seeming uncertainty but God has been faithful to every Word! To Jesus who is able to do abundantly more than we can ask, think or imagine be all the glory and praise. We are totally grateful for all the testimonies, the life change, God’s Word, His anointing, His Presence and so much more.
Domain Based I
Matt.6:34 “So do not worry about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself. Living faithfully is a large enough task for today” [Voice]
You are not accountable for what you do not know. As far as God has hidden it, you are not accountable for it; so relax! Before you start worrying about what you do not know, the question is what have you done about the things you know? It is the things you know, the things already revealed that God will hold you accountable for. The things that God has spoken to your spirit, what have you done about it? Act on those things and stop worrying about what God has not revealed. Deal with what He has revealed and watch Him reveal much more.
Future Peace
Ecc.8:7 “For no one knows what is going to happen, so who can warn him before it does?” [Voice]
Human beings have an innate desire to know the future. This is why we have so many people predicting the future. Every year, different people come up with predictions of what the year holds. The business people come up with business predictions and anyone that has anything to do with anything spiritual, comes up with its own predictions. There are a lot of confusing and contradicting predictions out there because everybody just wants to have a say about what will happen in the future.
Antidote I
Isa.62:4 No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called Ruined. You’ll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married), Because God delights in you and your land will be like a wedding celebration [MSG]
When we look at life through the eyes of the “fear of rejection”, we are unable to see the hurt of others and so we miss opportunities to minister to people in need. Picture this, Sister A walks past Sister B in church and does not respond to her greeting. Sister B takes offense and throws a pity party in her heart – ‘how could she do that? No body likes me in this church! Look at her, who can even like someone with such a nose?’ As God would have it, they both boarded the same bus one day and Sister A greets Sister B so warmly and Read the rest of this entry
What’s Your Concern
Jn.12:42-43 “…many believed in Jesus. But they would not admit it for fear of the Pharisees… They were more concerned to have the approval of men than the approval of God” [Ph, with emphasis]
Today we will continue with the damaging effects of the fear of rejection. Another damaging effect is the fear of rejection makes us bow to peer pressure. So to avoid peer pressure we imitate other people. When I started pastoring, every pastor I knew wore a tie. I do not have a problem with wearing ties but sometimes I just did not feel like wearing a tie. A lot of people find themselves acting, talking, or dressing in certain ways just to be accepted by others.
