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: 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...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
