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.

God's Favourite House

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 ...

THEME: MAKE ROOM FOR GOD 2Corinthians 1-9 You should not be among the many that are living without the precious things God promised.The LORD Jesus Christ said in John 16:24" Until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full. In making plans for your life and your future,stop focusing attention on only what you think you can do and what your resources can carry. You will be limiting God by so doing.When you plan for only what you can achieve by your personal efforts,you exclude God's grace and weary yourself with much toiling and energy exertion.Instead,you should make room for God in every plan you make. Plan to grow bigger and better in every unfolding phase of your life. When you plan for bigger things than your known resources can carry,do so with clear understanding that only God will help you to attain your desires.This understanding drives you to your knees.As you consistently pray and hold unto God,miracle are birthed...
