Maneuver - God's Favourite House

By

“Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life” John 3:6

George Washington, one of the ex-presidents of the United States of America, was the one that led the campaign that broke the back of the British hold on America. It was successful because he deployed the Principle of Maneuver. Up until this time, he had lost all his battles. George Washington was trained in continental warfare. Continental warfare has a lot to do with structure and order. He approached the battle against the British forces using his continental war training and he was losing. They trained him and he was trying to defeat them with the same structure. You cannot use the enemy’s strategy against him.

But right in the middle of battle, George Washington changed his maneuvering and invented the Guerilla Warfare. He said he discovered that the American spirit is an enterprising spirit. A lot of the soldiers were entrepreneurs, businessmen, and farmers. He could not get them to do what the British had taught him. So what he came up with was a hit and run maneuver. They locate and strike the weakest point and before the enemy can gather, he will run and hide. He did this until they depleted the British armies and the Americans gained their independence.

Your capacity to think even while you are in battle and maneuver will make a difference. Life does not play fair; things you do not bargain for just happen. And it is like that for everyone who lives under the sun; so your case is not special. So what are you going to do? When you find yourself in that mix, you maneuver. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” John 3:6 [KJV].

Your ability to continuously think out of the box, innovate and maneuver in the midst of battle, is key for victory. Innovation is very crucial and clear thinking is key to innovation. When you can think clearly and you innovate, it results in excellence. There is a difference between excellence and extravagance. People that lack innovation think that they must be extravagant. But if you are really innovative, you do not need to be extravagant. Be open. Do not be fixated on your way of doing things. Remind yourself to be open.

Prayer: God of all creation, please give me daily the power to transform my sphere of influence and the grace to remain flexible before You, 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 ...

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...
