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.

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...
