For His Glory


“I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.” Matt.25:25

The fourth enemy of exploitation is Fear. Please read Matthew 25:14-20. The servant said, “I was afraid…” Fear is a major challenge for a lot of us. A lot of people would have gone very far in life but for fear. They are afraid to take a step or to exploit a situation. God will break the back of that fear in Jesus Name. But if you further examine what this same servant said, this servant that did not take full advantage and was not productive, he said, “Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate”. In other words, he was saying his master is an exploitative person. The master said, “you know I operate the Principle of Exploitation, at least you should have put my money in the bank.”

God is saying to you and I - I expect you to be exploitative. I expect you to get maximum results from everything I have given you. I expect results! Immediately I learned that not exploiting your gifts, your talents, your resources, and your relationships to the glory of God can take you to hell. I know it is harsh but these words did not originate from me. It is in the Bible; Jesus said it. God is not interested in you returning to Him just what He gave you. God wants results. God wants it multiplied.

Note that the servant was not even apologizing to the master for losing the money. That would be a different thing. But he did nothing with the talents given to him. If you show up before God and say all I did is protect my gifts and my talents; I can give it back to you, Lord. God says I am not interested. I want results. Many destinies have been crippled by fear. I pray that yours will not be one of them, in Jesus Name.

God wants you to get rid of fear. Sometimes we think we cannot live without fear or that it is normal to live with fear. No, it is not normal. God has only one solution to fear [1 John 4:18], cast it out, banish fear totally. If you can deal with fear, you are almost unstoppable. Fear is one of the major things that keep people grounded. So people do not do the things they ought to do because of fear.

Prayer:  I decree in the Name of Jesus that I will not be grounded by fear. I totally banish fear from my life, in Jesus Name

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 ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
