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.

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...
