Always Audacity!


“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

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

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...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...
