Force Multiplier
“And if a house is divided (split into factions and rebelling) against itself, that house will not be able to last” Mark 3:25 [AMP]
Mass has two components: Concentration and Unity. And because of these two components, the Principle of Mass is a force multiplier that enables smaller forces to conquer a much larger enemy. “And David said with longing, “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!” So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David…” 2Sam.23: 15-16 [NKJV, emphasis added].

Focus
“The Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program …select seven men who are …full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility” Acts 6:2-3
Concentrate your powers! Even the apostles realized that they could not serve food, take care of the widows, and visit the prisons. So they chose to focus on the ministry of the Word and to prayer. What is that one thing? Concentration simply means the power of focusing all one’s attention. When you focus, inevitably you create blindness and that is okay. But a lot of people do not want any blindness. However, the truth remains that you cannot be effective if you Read the rest of this entry
Twenty – Eighty!
David remarked longingly to his men, “Oh, how I would love some of that good water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem.” So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew some water… and brought it back to David…” 1 Chro.11:17-18
The Pareto Principle states that twenty percent of what you are doing is responsible for eighty percent of the results you are getting. Only twenty percent of what you are doing right now is producing eighty percent or more of the result you are getting. Regardless of how wealthy you are, it is only twenty percent of what you are doing that is generating the wealth. Even in church, it is only twenty percent of the people in attendance that make things happen. Read the rest of this entry
“One Thing”
“The one thing I ask of the Lord— the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple” Ps.27:4
The Principle of Mass is effective on the offense and the defense. A classic example in warfare is the citadel strategy. In the days when cities and countries used to be physically walled, the strategy was to wall the outer perimeter of the city and go further into the city creating three or four concentric circles [walls]. This is so that if the enemy breaks through the first one, the Read the rest of this entry
Be Brutal
“But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God” Lu.9:62
The opposite of concentration is distraction. What are the things that are distracting you and distracting your forces? Get rid of them. Why? Because if you do not actively get rid of them, they will spread you too thin, you are going to dissipate energy and you will be totally ineffective. There are many things that you could be doing, but there are also things that only Read the rest of this entry
Concentrated Mass
“And David said… “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem… So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well… and took it and brought it to David…” 2 Sam.23:15-16.
Every facet of life is a battle and you are the general of your life. God wants you to take responsibility for your life. Remember David and Goliath? David took responsibility for the nation [God’s people]. God is waiting on you to take responsibility for your career and for your marriage. If you do not love your spouse who would love him or her for you? Take Read the rest of this entry
Have A Plan
“Where there is no vision, the people perish” Prov.29:18 [KJV]
We will be learning a lot from historical warfare and tying them to Scripture. About 331 BC, there was a king called Darius The Third; he was in charge of Persia. And there was a young Macedonian general called Alexandra the Great. Alexandra was just twenty-five years old and he many conquered territories. But God has a sense of humor. Alexandra conquered territories but got to India and died of malaria on his way back. An ordinary mosquito! I fear Read the rest of this entry
The Objective
“Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint” Prov.29:18 [ESV, emphasis added]
I am a student of military campaigns and warfare in history. The study of great military campaigns has revealed universal principles crucial for every battlefield victory. Guess what? These principles are rooted in the Bible. These great generals throughout history actually learned the principles of war from the Bible and there are twelve of them. God has a lot to teach us about how to effect total victory in our lives through these principles. It does not matter whether you are a business person, an entrepreneur, a solopreneur, a freelancer, a professional, or a stay-at-home Read the rest of this entry
Deliberate Action
“Where there is no vision, the people perish” Prov.29:18 [KJV]
Life is a battle. You do not need to spend long on earth to discover that life is a battle. From birth the baby had to breakthrough; it comes into a strange world. The first thing that comes out of the baby’s mouth is a cry. And the battle never stops; the last victory or defeat will be with death. For those of us that are saved, it is a victory already because death where is your sting. But until that last battle, the struggle continues. Like any military commander, spectacular success depends on your ability to think and act strategically. You are the general of your life. You call Read the rest of this entry
Take Note III
“For the Lord your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!’” Deu.20:4 [emphasis added] .
This year your influence is going to be multiplied, in Jesus Name. And while we keep that at the back of our minds, we should never ever forget our Source. Never ever ever forget your Source. I know these things sound simplistic but I have seen a lot of people shipwreck their faith because they gained victory in one area of life. It is so pathetic. But Read the rest of this entry
