Take Action Today: Be On The Offensive

By
“One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:1 & 8

In Luke 18, Jesus tells us the story of the persistent widow who went to the judge seeking justice but the judge did not pay her any attention. And this woman kept on attacking this judge until he cracked and gave her what she wanted. “I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:8. When people come across the word faith in this portion of scripture, they think it is a passive thing. But if you read the story that Jesus told about having faith, you will see that having faith is action.

Having faith is knocking on doors until the doors either open or you break it down. Jesus is saying when I come will I find people that will not take no for an answer? Will I find people that will understand the objective that God has for them and keep hammering until they get what they want? And I say to the Lord, look no further. Here we are in God's Favourite House- we will give all it takes and we will get a breakthrough.

You need to be on the offensive in your prayers, be on the offensive in your giving, and just stay on the offensive. Do you know Pastor Ghandi? Once when he visited God’s Favourite House, he shared with us how he gave himself out of a tight place. I could relate with that because I had to do the same thing. As a Church we did the same thing when we were trusting God for our land; we gave offensively. You cannot be passive. Most people are just waiting for a miracle, someone to come along and help them out. Do not wait. God is saying to you today, attack!

Stop making excuses; stop saying there is a lion in the street. Stop saying it is so hard in Nigeria. Meanwhile in this same Nigeria, people are getting wealthy and I am not talking about the fraudsters. I know people that do not bribe anybody and their revenue for the year is amazing. If you keep looking at people that are cheating or even people that are wealthy suspiciously because you do not know how they got their money, do not deceive yourself. There are people that are wealthy and they are on the right path. Stop making excuses.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please purge me completely of excuses and help me stay on the offensive in all that You have called me to be and do, 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

By
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...

Can you ruin your destiny?

By
God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...
