Seed Maneuvers


“…these Levites—the ones who collect the tithe—paid a tithe to Melchizedek when their ancestor Abraham paid a tithe to him. For although Levi wasn’t born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham’s body when Melchizedek collected the tithe from him” Heb.7:9-10

There are seeds you will sow that will shape not only your life but also the lives of your children. There are some covenant maneuvers in the spirit that speaks for generations to come. It seems as though certain people are just prospering at everything they do. What you do not know is that their parents have “hit the ground” on their behalf. A lot of people are upset with me and some even accuse me of not knowing how to pray. My response is, I may not know how to pray but my grandmother prayed for me, and my mother is praying for me. Perhaps because I was a little troublesome when I was younger so I was always listed as a prayer point.

When we first started Pastoring, we operated from a rented facility. The daughter of the owner was managing the facility and she gave us a very tough time. In fact, every meeting with her was a testing of our faith. Back then I was very volatile but I am chilled now. So I took the matter before God. My number one objective was to possess the property. I began to engage in the spirit and I locked down the property. Then God responded- I will not give you this property. I said no - wherever the soles of our feet shall tread upon, we shall possess… When He saw that I was not taking no for an answer, He promised to give us another property, a bigger place. So I backed down and took the deal [who wouldn’t]. And God gave us the bigger property.

Then one day, the mother - the owner of the property visited us; a very nice, elderly, godly woman. And on her way out, she stopped and began to apologize for all the trouble her daughter had caused us. She said she covenanted the property to God, that it will only be used for God’s purposes. It was then I understood why I could not take the property even though the daughter was misbehaving. God is a covenant keeping God. He keeps covenants from generation to generation. There are things you are doing now that you think have no impact. It is your children that will reap it. Today, I am blessing my grandmother and my mother. I am grateful for them.

Prayer: Lord, lead me consistently to sow seeds that will impact my children and generations yet unborn, in Jesus Name.

Can you ruin your destiny?

God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...

Called to Be Peculiar

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:15-16) Being peculiar. That's not something most of us work to achieve, is it? But, you know, we should. God has called us to be peculiar—to stand out from the rest of the world as living proof of His power and His love (1 Peter 2:9). He doesn't, for example, want us to share the ailments of the world. He doesn't want us to share their sickness and poverty and failure. He's never wanted that for His people. He gave us a physical illustration of that during the time the nation of Israel was held captive in Egypt. Pharaoh had refused to set the Israelites free, so God had allowed a thick darkness to cover the whole land. The darkness was so dreadful throughout Egypt that no one moved for three days. "But," says Exodus 10:23, "all the children of Israel had light in their ...
