Powerful: Attack!

By
“Also [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up)”  Luke 8:1 [AMP].

A lot of us enjoy watching or even playing a good game of soccer. As long as I can remember, I have always loved to attack and lead counter attacks. I just do not get midfielders that are always passing sideways and backwards; it irritates me. You do not win matches in your lower third; you win matches by attacking. There was this football club that would take the ball straight to their opponent’s box eighteen and do their passes there. Why? It is because you win matches by attacking. And another club that was not very good defensively but would largely score more than their competition. You do not win matches defending. You win matches by attacking - just attack!

As at 2015, the best goalkeeper in the world was Manuel Neuer and he was an attacking goalkeeper. Statistics show that he spends more time outside his box eighteen than inside it. During a match when he gets the ball, he is constantly creating forward motion. Why? It is because there is no nation that wins defensively, there is no army that wins defensively, there is no life that goes forward defensively, there is no career that makes progress defensively, and there is no business that makes progress defensively. You have to attack!

In history, a master of attack is Genghis Khan of the Mongol empire. Genghis Khan’s attacking strategy is straight forward. He besieges a city, divides his large army into three groups and they all have shifts of eight hours each. Then he attacks the city round the clock, wave after wave, there is no rest - no break. And in history there has never been a city that has been able to withstand his attack.

The Mongol Empire is the largest contiguous Empire in the history of man. The British Empire is only bigger in landmass. The reason for the expansion of the Mongol Empire was not defense. The reason for expansion is one word and that word is - Attack! It got to a point that cities would just surrender to him willingly in exchange for fair treatment. And he would just collect tributes from them. In the spirit realm, prayer puts you on the offensive. This is why I always advise people to take seasons of prayer and fasting very seriously. Prayer puts you on the offensive.

Prayer: Precious Holy Spirit, teach me to pray without ceasing, 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 ...
