Count The Cost!
“Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him?” Lu.14:31
Interestingly, one of the key reasons why you should commit your life to Christ is because the outcome has been predetermined. In fact, it is a very dangerous thing to live without Jesus. In Christ, the outcomes have been predetermined. So we can take on the challenges being confident that the outcome has been predetermined. In our everyday lives we will be Read the rest of this entry
Your Job
“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?” Lu.14:28
It is clear that God’s heart for us this year and beyond is victory and so shall it be, in Jesus Name. Why do we keep reiterating this? It is because you and I must let it sink deep down in our souls that God will give us victory. But you must take responsibility as the general of your life. You [not the nation, or the government, or the Politicians] are the general of your life. The Read the rest of this entry
In Your Hands
“…But now a creditor has come, threatening to take my two sons as slaves.” “What can I do to help you?” Elisha asked. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” “Nothing at all, except a flask of olive oil,” she replied” 2Kings 4:1-2
I want you to know without a shadow of doubt that it is your job to find that opening and to exploit it. God can help you find it but it is still your job to exploit it. We tend to think of openings and opportunities as a distant thing. “The greatest people maximize the opportunities at hand” – Anonymous. Look around you; there Read the rest of this entry
Be Attentive
“I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands” Ps. 119:60
This lesson on exploitation is so important. Stop procrastinating and just do it! Have you seen a lady trying to kill a cockroach without any ‘weapon’ in hand? She would step on everything else and everywhere else in that room but on the actual cockroach. I am sure you are wondering why I am using such an illustration. It will come to you. It is not convenient but just do it. Do not miss the opportunity for Read the rest of this entry
Just Stand
“Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.” Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!” 1 Kings 18:44
I am able to live with the fact that I have tried something and it did not work than not try it and regret that if I had tried, maybe it would have worked. This is the mantra that I live by. Big deal if I tried and it did not work; I will just try another thing. But a lot of people are laden with regrets about the things they should have done but did not do. But that is going to Read the rest of this entry
Follow Through I
“I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work” Jn.9:4
I have friends that do not know how to use up to ten percent of the expensive phones they have. They are not deriving value [exploiting] from the phone. So the question is, why buy such an expensive phone if all you want to do is make and receive calls, send messages and take pictures? That phone is loaded with functionality more powerful than ten mainframe computers of the eighties put together. We do not exploit Read the rest of this entry
To Exploit
“I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work” Jn.9:4
You do not need anyone to convince you that life is a battle. You are the general so you are calling the shots; but you have to be equipped. We believe that God will give us victory this year, in Jesus Name. However, we need to deploy proven military strategies to guarantee and secure these victories. If war generals that did not know Read the rest of this entry
The Boss
“I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them” Rom.16:17 [emphasis added].
God is clear in His Word about what we should do with people who cause divisions. Note them, keep away from them, and cut them off. Watch out for people that are unable or unwilling to take clear instructions; God says stay away from them. So your job as the leader is to establish a chain of command. Each person should have only one boss and they need to know who it is. Everybody is a leader in different capacities but each person should have only one boss. Read the rest of this entry
