Open The Door
Psalm 34:4 “I prayed to the Lord and He answered me; He freed me from all my fears.” [GN, with emphasis]
I pray that in God’s Presence today, the Lord Himself will free you from all your fears, in Jesus Name. David did not say that God delivered him from a few of his fears or from his major fears and left out the minor ones. David said that God delivered him from all his fears. I am praying again that God will free us from all our fears, in Jesus Name.
Fear does a lot of damage. The first major damage is – Fear Paralyzes Potential. Fear, when we give in to it, has the power to limit our Read the rest of this entry
Banish Fear!
1 John 4:18 “Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear…” [with emphasis]
God is going to open doors before us in this season [say amen]. And God expects us to exploit every one of those openings. However, one of the greatest enemies of exploitation is fear. God is set to deal conclusively with fear in our lives in this season; so, please open your heart to God. God, our Father, has only one remedy for fear and that is to cast it out [banish it]. God says that there is no fear in love but perfect love casts out fear [banishes fear]. There is no fear in love. In other words, love and fear cannot cohabit, you know. Read the rest of this entry
The Power
Rom.4:17 “…Abraham believed in the God… 18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” [with emphasis]
Abraham kept hoping even when everything was speaking contrary- his body was speaking contrary, his wife’s body was speaking contrary, and even his culture was speaking contrary. Abraham’s friends must have had a field day mocking him, – from Abram [exalted father] to Abraham [father of nations] and still no children; he must have been the subject of every joke.
Even though everything was speaking contrary, Abraham believed and maintained a single line of command. If God has said it Read the rest of this entry
Single Minded
Ex.17:10 Joshua did exactly as Moses had instructed him to do…[Voice] 13 As a result, Joshua overwhelmed the army of Amalek in battle [NLT, with emphasis]
In your business, maintain a single line of command. In your home, it must be a single line of command. In your life, it must be a single line of command. Joshua could have challenged Moses instruction, “Why do I have to be the one to risk getting killed on the battle field? Let us switch places, you go and fight and give me the rod of God and I will stand on the mountain.” But who determined the victory, was it Joshua’s militancy or Moses on the hill? Aaron and Hur could have said to Moses, “Now that your hands are tired, it Read the rest of this entry
Force Multiplier
Ex.17: 10 “Joshua did exactly as Moses had instructed him to do. He gathered the strongest men he could find and fought against the soldiers of Amalek. Meanwhile, Moses, Aaron, and Hur climbed to the top of the hill” [with emphasis]
The Power to Prevail is Multiplied in Community. Ex.17:9 “Moses called for a young leader named Joshua. Moses (to Joshua): Select some of our best men, and go fight against the soldiers of Amalek…” [with emphasis]. Joshua could not go and fight all by himself. Moses did not expect Joshua to go alone. Joshua needed to attend to this assignment with a team and that was exactly what he did. Even Moses did not go up on the hill alone.
Take Action II
Ex.17: 11 “It happened that whenever Moses raised his hand, the battle went well for Israel; but whenever he lowered his hand to rest, Amalek began to win”.” [Voice, with emphasis].
Moses took action. The enemy has spoken negativity concerning you and you are saying perhaps they do not mean it? Do yourself a favour and respond. There are two types of responses demonstrated in Exodus 17:8-13 [please read] that I want us to learn from: a. the tactical response and b. the strategic response. Yesterday I shared an experience with you of a deliverance session initiated by God and how I became ill afterwards. Going to the hospital was a tactical response and setting up my watch in the place of prayer, was a Read the rest of this entry
Take Action I
Ex.17:9 “Moses called for a young leader named Joshua. Moses (to Joshua): Select some of our best men, and go fight against the soldiers of Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand at the crest of that hill overlooking the battlefield with God’s staff in my hand” [Voice, with emphasis].
The beauty about God’s Word is that the more you engage it, the more it engages you and the more it accomplishes in and through you. Please read Exodus 17:8-13. The second thing we see is that the Power to Prevail is released when you Take Action. You are the general of your life and great generals take action. Moses did not just wait for Amalek. Moses took action and initiated the battle against the Amalekites.
Heirs
Ex.17: 8 While the Israelites were camped at Rephidim, soldiers of Amalek came and attacked them” [with emphasis]
The first thing that stands out in the story of the children of Israel from Exodus 17:8-13 [please read], is that the Power to Prevail is released when You Become. The Israelites were God’s people; they had the seed of God in them. 1Jn.5:4 “for everyone born of God overcomes the world…” [NIV]. The power to prevail is released when the seed of God is formed in you. The power to prevail is released when you become a child of God. You cannot prevail against the world except you are born of God.
Power
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
I am confident that your life will not be void of power. All God asks for, is that you give Him all the glory, all the credit. God wants us to acknowledge that power belongs to Him. The only time we will run into problems is when we attempt to share in God’s credit [glory]. God does not really like that. King Nebuchadnezzar attempted to share in God’s glory and God caused him to eat grass for seven years until he gave all the glory to God and acknowledged that the Most High rules. Power belongs to God. I take time out before Read the rest of this entry
Absolute Power
Ps.62:11 “The True God spoke this once, and twice I’ve heard that You, the True God, hold all power” (VOICE)
I am really excited about all that God is doing in you this season. I pray that fruitfulness will break forth in our lives, in Jesus Name. And indeed according to the time of life, we will all be rejoicing, giving God thanks for an avalanche of fruitfulness in our lives. Not only would we be fruitful, God is saying everyone you lay your hand upon will be fruitful, in Jesus Name. For everyone that seems to have crabs pulling them down each time they attempt to climb, for all those who are struggling unnecessarily, and for those who seem Read the rest of this entry
