Intelligence
“The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger. So don’t go to war without wise guidance; victory depends on having many advisers” Prov.24:5-6
Victory depends on having quality intelligence. Your opposition may be strong but you must be wise because the wise is mightier than the strong. Goliath was strong but David was wise. Wisdom will always floor strength any day. God wants us to gather intelligence. In your marriage, in your business, in your personal life, even spiritually, do not go to war without gathering quality intelligence. Do not launch without seeking counsel, weighing it, and gathering quality intelligence. Why? Because the scripture tells us that victory depends on it. You are going to be victorious, in Jesus Read the rest of this entry
Seed Maneuvers
“…these Levites—the ones who collect the tithe—paid a tithe to Melchizedek when their ancestor Abraham paid a tithe to him. For although Levi wasn’t born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham’s body when Melchizedek collected the tithe from him” Heb.7:9-10
There are seeds you will sow that will shape not only your life but also the lives of your children. There are some covenant maneuvers in the spirit that speaks for generations to come. It seems as though certain people are just prospering at everything they do. What you do not know is that their parents have “hit the ground” on their behalf. A lot of people are upset with me and some even accuse me of not knowing how to pray. My response is, I may not know how to pray but my grandmother prayed for me, and my mother is praying for me. Perhaps because I was a Read the rest of this entry
The Twist
“One day news came to David that the Philistines were at Keilah stealing grain from the threshing floors. David asked the Lord, “Should I go and attack them?” “Yes, go and save Keilah,” the Lord told him” 1 Sam.23:1-2
David is a master of maneuver. Please read the story in 1 Samuel 23, it is an amazing read. David’s heart was for his people Israel even though he himself was on the run from Saul. The Jewish city, Keilah, was being attacked by the Philistines. So David asked for permission to help them. As soon as he got clearance from God, David engaged his six hundred men.
“But David’s men said, “We’re afraid even here in Judah. We certainly don’t want to go to Keilah to fight the whole Philistine army!” So David asked the Lord again, and again the Lord replied, “Go down to Keilah, for I will help you conquer the Philistines.” 1 Sam.23:3-4. So David went and delivered the city from the hands of the Philistines. Of Read the rest of this entry
Maneuver
“Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life” John 3:6
George Washington, one of the ex-presidents of the United States of America, was the one that led the campaign that broke the back of the British hold on America. It was successful because he deployed the Principle of Maneuver. Up until this time, he had lost all his battles. George Washington was trained in continental warfare. Continental warfare has a lot to do with structure and order. He approached the battle against the British forces using his Read the rest of this entry
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
“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
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
