Concentrated Mass


“And David said… “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem… So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well… and took it and brought it to David…” 2 Sam.23:15-16.
Every facet of life is a battle and you are the general of your life. God wants you to take responsibility for your life. Remember David and Goliath? David took responsibility for the nation [God’s people]. God is waiting on you to take responsibility for your career and for your marriage. If you do not love your spouse who would love him or her for you? Take responsibility; you are the general.

The Principle of Mass is Concentrate combat power at the decisive place and time. In your business or in your home, there is a decisive place and time. Sometimes it moves but once you can discern the place then concentrate combat power. Do not diffuse your energy, instead focus and concentrate. The principle of mass can easily be mistaken for the principle of offensive but they are very different. When you are resolved to fight a battle [Objective], launch the attack [Offensive] and concentrate all your powers [Mass]. It is not every battle that you should fight. Some battles are to be ignored. But once you have an objective, do not procrastinate, launch your attack. The first quarter of the year is gone already, what are you attacking? What are you launching? And do not just launch your attack in different directions, concentrate your forces.

In 1879, in the southern part of Africa, the British forces had thousands of men fully equipped. They were marching, intimidating the Zulus and the locals. But the Zulu chief was a very intelligent war general. He did nothing. He sent spies to watch the British forces. After a lot of display, the British forces dispersed in an open field and were relaxing. Word got to the chief and he launched “a buffalo head” attack. He had fewer men but he wiped out the British forces. In fact, that is the biggest loss that the British conceded to a local force in all the territories they invaded. Why? Even though the Zulu chief had fewer men, men that were carrying just shields and spears, he was able to conquer thousands because he concentrated his attack. Every great general knows this - concentration of forces.

Prayer: Father, empower me to take responsibility for everything that You have placed under my sphere of influence, 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...
