All Efforts

By


“Where there is no vision, the people perish” 
Prov. 29:18 [KJV]

In military strategy, the principle of The Objective states thus: “Direct all efforts towards a clearly defined, decisive & attainable objective.” Three key things jump out immediately from this definition. Direct all efforts towards a Clearly Defined, Decisive and Attainable objective. So we are going to spend some time on those three things.

#1. Attainable: Do not shoot for something that is not attainable. Do not waste your time and resources. But are we not supposed to believe God for the big things and the things that are not accessible? We are! Your vision must actually make provision for things that you need help from above to attain. So I say always make allowance for the 1 Corinthians 2:9 in your vision. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man…”; those things that always look totally unattainable. So if your vision does not require a supernatural intervention, your vision is too small. What is the vision for that organization you are leading? What is the vision for that business? What is the vision for that family? If it does not require a supernatural intervention, then guess what? It is way too small.

However, when you define an objective, it is important that it be attainable. Do not waste your time and resources on non-attainable objectives. Let me give you an example: everybody these days wants to lose some weight. Someone plans to lose 20kg in two weeks. If you lose 20kg in two weeks we will be worried. In fact we will begin to pray for you because it is unhealthy and in most cases it is unattainable. You will put yourself under unnecessary pressure and feel like a failure. Why? Because you are setting goals that are unrealistic. But if you give yourself three months to lose 20kg, that is attainable. I know some of us have a potential of retaining weight more than others. So your own plan can be a six months goal to lose 20kg. And for some, it can be a twelve month goal to lose 20kg; then go for it. Do what? Go for it! Direct all efforts in that direction because it is attainable.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, guide me in setting attainable objectives and empower me to carry them through to victory, in Jesus Name.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
