Be Attentive

By

“I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands” Ps. 119:60

This lesson on exploitation is so important. Stop procrastinating and just do it! Have you seen a lady trying to kill a cockroach without any ‘weapon’ in hand? She would step on everything else and everywhere else in that room but on the actual cockroach. I am sure you are wondering why I am using such an illustration. It will come to you. It is not convenient but just do it. Do not miss the opportunity for obedience.

Israel missed a window of opportunity. God said to them go and possess the land but Israel said we are unable to possess the land. Israel missed that window of opportunity and did not get it back until forty years had passed. In fact, a whole generation died, meaning that that generation did not enter the Promised Land. Why? It is because an opportunity missed, can hurt you for a very long, long time.

The second enemy of exploitation capable of keeping us from taking action and exploiting situations to the glory of God and to our own advantage is Caution. Caution is not actually bad but caution can become a problem. And caution is not necessarily fear. Caution is rooted in logic and systems; logic, meaning this makes sense; we should be careful when we get to the edge so that we do not fall. It is logical and so it breeds caution.

The other leg is Systems; this is how we do it here. While systems are good and cultures are good, system and cultures must be broken so that you can make progress. What do you mean that is how we do it here? It may have worked fifty years ago but it is not working now. I am sorry it is not working so break the system and create a new one.

A young man and his father are having an argument about how things are done. The father insists he must do things the way the great grandfather, the grandfather, and his own father did it. But the boy insists on doing things his own way. The father gets so furious and wants to curse the boy. Do not curse him. He is breaking the system and it will birth greatness.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please help me eliminate procrastination, break through logic and systems and help me make significant progress, in Jesus Name.

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

By
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...

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 ...

Can you ruin your destiny?

By
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...
