Advantage vs. Victory

By
 
“In the same way, I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born.” The Lord says this: “I promise that if I cause you the pain of birth, I will not stop you from having your new nation.” Your God said this” Isa.66:9 [ERV]

The Principle of Maneuver can give you an advantage; it puts your opponent at the disadvantage. While the principle of maneuver can give you an advantage, never forget that an advantage is not victory. You can maneuver and get an advantage but never forget that an advantage is not victory. Every chess player understands this. Taking your opponents queen will give you an advantage. But most people who take the opponents queen early, usually lose because of the false sense that you are in charge. Meanwhile, the other player knows he or she has to fight to win. God is going to give you an advantage and the forces are going to back you up but you have to ensure that you focus and get your victory.

Jehoash the king of Israel had a spiritual maneuver. He visited Elisha in his last days and cried “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” Elisha was happy and told him to get an arrow and fire it. Then Elisha declared this is the Lord’s deliverance and the deliverance of the Lord is complete. Elisha told him to strike. Jehoash must have been happy to have the spiritual advantage. So he struck only three times and stopped but Elisha said, “why did you stop? Now you will not have complete victory because you stopped [2 kings 13:14-19 paraphrased]. You will not stop until you get your victory, in Jesus Name.

At one of our vigils God said there were people present whose life story is like a goal keeper that is good at catching balls but the balls always slip from his hand and enter into the net. If your story is similar, today in the Name of Jesus, we rebuke that spirit now [say amen]. In your life, there will be no abortions. Everything you conceive, you will bring to fruition in Jesus Mighty Name. “Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.

“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God” Isa.66:9 [NKJV]. So everyone that has been close to victory but it has eluded you thus far, beginning from today, you will not only see it, you will walk in it, in Jesus Mighty Name.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, please align my heart with Yours and cause me to be victorious for your Name sake, 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...

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 ...

Block All The Leakages

By
“In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes” 2 Corinthians 2:11. It is difficult to gather up resources for any productive use, or to assume control of one’s finances if leakages are not identified and blocked. Leakages are channels through which resources or money is been drained, either knowingly or unknowingly. They are instruments employed by the devil to wreck one’s destiny and finances. Thus, whatever drains your resources is never from God (John 10:10). Leakages have both spiritual and physical dimensions. One can experience leakage if one is under a curse-not giving God His dues in the form of tithe; if you have flair for life’s frivolities; if you commit sin; if you constantly experience physical or spiritual robberies; if you are involved in gambling; when there is an illegal access to your secrets or bank accounts; and when you are perpetually under demonic attack of sickness; when you invest heavily in a business you do not know an...
