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: 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?

By
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 ...
