The Objective

By

“Where there is no vision, the people perish”  Prov.29:18  [KJV]

We will be learning a lot from historical warfare and tying them to Scripture. About 331 BC, there was a king called Darius The Third; he was in charge of Persia. And there was a young Macedonian general called Alexander the Great. Alexander was just twenty-five years old and he many conquered territories. But God has a sense of humor. Alexander conquered territories but got to India and died of malaria on his way back. An ordinary mosquito! I fear God and you should too.

Darius had two hundred thousand infantry Calvary lined up. Alexander had fifty thousand soldiers. Darius' plan was - we are many, let us attack them; we will win them. But Alexandra’s plan was different. He allowed Darius to capture some of his men and torture them until they began to confess but they were confessing wrong Intel. They told Darius that Alexander would attack at night. So Darius set up his whole army ready for battle, all night long they did not sleep. Alexandra allowed his soldiers to have a good night sleep but had a few of them shooting arrows just to prep up the enemy’s array. And by morning Alexandra’s men were sharp but Darius’ men were tired. Secondly, his plan was to put his identity on display. So you will always see Alexander dressed in shining armor, helmet with all jewels, sitting on his black horse. Everyone in his camp and everyone in the enemy's camp could see him. His fifty thousand men had one objective - attack the flanks and create space in the center. Then he goes straight through and kills the King of the opposing side. He knew that once he killed the king of the opposing side or got him to run, that will be the end.

It sounds simple, right? But it is a plan. Alexander implemented his plan; the flanks opened up, he rode straight through, struck Darius and two hundred thousand soldiers fled. The Persians had ninety thousand dead people but Alexandra had only fifty dead people. What was the difference? One had a plan [an objective] and the other did not. Do not leave your life to chance. What is your objective?

Prayer: Father, I pray that I will not perish in any area of my life this year because I will set objectives and You Lord will crown me with victory, in Jesus Name

GFH.

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 ...
