Picture It

“If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves” Prov. 29:18 

In the Book of Joshua, chapter six [please read] is the story of Israel. God had given them a clear objective to take Jericho. God said you and your fighting men should march round the city once a day for six days. On the seventh day you are to march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the horns. When you hear the priests give one long blast on the ram’s horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Heaven will hear, the angels will be released and the walls will come down [translated]. Clear objective. Guess what Jericho did? As big as Jericho was, as fortified as they were, as advanced in military warfare as they were, they chose to sit back and defend. Their walls were so thick that they built houses on the walls; imagine a wall that can have houses on it.

The children of Israel were walking round; they had an objective. The people of Jericho were probably looking at them and laughing, calling them crazy people. The second day, they walked round and nothing happened. They would have laughed even harder at them. Sometimes, having an objective will make you look like a fool. It is okay to look like a fool; at the end of the day we will know who the fool is. The third day, fourth day, and on the fifth day the king of Jericho might have sent people to check what they were doing. Are they trying to look for holes in the wall? He probably would laugh and call for more wine. But on the seventh day, seven times they marched and gave a blast and the walls crashed. They charged into the city and they took a city greater than them. That is the power of having an objective and it is indispensable.

What is the principle of The Objective? In military strategy the principle of the objective states thus: “Direct all efforts towards a clearly defined, decisive, and attainable objective”. Have an objective, let it be clearly defined, decisive, and attainable then direct all efforts. What is the objective when you look at your business? What does victory look like in your business? What does victory look like in your relationship with your spouse? Direct all efforts in that direction. How much effort? All effort!

Prayer: Lord, help me see Your vision of victory in my life and help me come up with a clear objective to claim my victory, in Jesus Name

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
