Always Audacity!

By

“Then at last the Lord said to me, ‘You have been wandering around in this hill country long enough; turn to the north. Deu.2:2-3

Principle of The Offensive can only be ignited with audacity. You cannot be on the offensive if you are not courageous. You need courage. Fredrick the Great puts it this way, “L’audace, l’audace, et toujours l’audace” [translation: Audacity, audacity, and always audacity]. You need to put this statement in front of you, see it before you sleep and when you get up before you go out, see it again. “Audacity, audacity, and always audacity”. Courage is always expressed in the willingness to go forward. God is saying to you, go forward. Attack! You have been round this mountain long enough.

The military will tell you that the most essential quality of a general will always be courage. Who is the general of your life? You are. You must have active courage. For instance, my spiritual son called me one day and was lamenting. What was his issue? There was this girl he wanted to marry and the girl really liked him. They had a good relationship but every time he goes to see her, they would sit on a table and play board games. The girl kept waiting for him to take the relationship to the next level but he did not. Long story short, some other man that the girl also liked but not as much as she liked my son, came and attacked, pestered her, bought her roses, took her out. She was reluctant initially, hoping my son would step up. But the other man bamboozled her with love and she committed to him. Then my son called me and was asking me what he should do. I was upset; I said, “Who is your father? You cannot tell a lady your intentions”? He said when he is with her he gets tongue-tied. I said let that tongue be untied and woo that girl, in Jesus Name. Come on, you are frustrating the girl. Just tell her your heart; you will not die.

Active courage is a part of courage. Every war general must also have moral courage - the ability to control yourself. The ability to say no to excesses and walk away from things that are enticing. It will save your life. “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls” Prov.25:28. Anyone and anything can attack you but you must have the courage to say no to pornography, stealing, lying and anything that will defile you.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please grow me in active and moral courage, in Jesus Name

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

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 ...

God Will Turn Your Life Around By Jerry Savelle

By
Jerry Savelle Ministries Daily Devotional Friday 12th August 2016 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them  - Deuteronomy 28:13 NKJV Many people suffer from feelings of rejection. All their lives they’ve been told things that have kept them down and held them back. Perhaps you are one of these people. Maybe you were told you’d never amount to anything. You may have been born into poverty and told you would always be poor. Or you may have been ridiculed and told that no one would ever love you. Although circumstances may make these statements appear to be factual, they are not the truth. If you go to the Bible, you’ll find out that God’s plans for you are always good. In fact, if you will put God at the center of your life, He will turn things around for you. If you allow it, God will take you from being b...
