Just Stand

By

“Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.” Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!”
1 Kings 18:44
I am able to live with the fact that I have tried something and it did not work than not try it and regret that if I had tried, maybe it would have worked. This is the mantra that I live by. Big deal if I tried and it did not work; I will just try another thing. But a lot of people are laden with regrets about the things they should have done but did not do. But that is going to change, in Jesus Name.

Sometimes we get to a place in life where it seems there is no break, no opening, or no opportunity. A place where it seems as though nothing is opening up. If you are in that category, the first thing you need to know is, just remain faithful and the opportunity will come. Just stand your ground, something always happens. Bernard Baruch says, “When business is good, people believe that it will always be good. When business is poor, people believe that it will always be poor. Neither is correct.”  So if you are worried about not having openings or opportunities, do not worry, your opportunity is here already, in Jesus name. Just stand your ground something always happens.

During the Second World War there was a lot of pressure on Winston Churchill to negotiate with the Germans. But he refused and chose to stand his ground. Everybody thought he was crazy. But he knew that the deciding factor of that war would be the Americans. And the United States of America said they were not going to participate in the war. But Churchill said something will happen and America will fight. And something happened, the Americans joined the war and in fact they determined the end of the war. They asked him afterwards how he knew the Americans were going to join because he was so resolute. And Winston Churchill said, “I have studied history and history shows that if you persist long enough, something always happens.” Do not give up - something is going to happen! It may look like everything is going to crash but just stand your ground; something is going to happen in your favour. And when it happens, exploit it!

Prayer: I decree that I will stand my ground in every season because Jesus is my unshakable foundation and things will play out in my favour, in Jesus Name

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional Thursday,March 3

By
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...

By
Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

We Fail To Achieve Greatness Because We Fear Success By John Hagee

By
John Hagee Daily Devotional Thursday 11th August 2016  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  - One reason we do not reach excellence is because of our fear of failure.  Failure is a better teacher than success.  Every great success story has its element of failure.  You have not failed until you quit; only then have you failed.  After Thomas Edison finished his 700th experiment trying to develop the electric light his assistant said, “We have failed.”  Edison replied, “No.   We have found 700 ways that will not work.  Do not call these 700 experiments mistakes; call them our education.  Now let’s keep going until we find the answer.”  Are you afraid of failure?  Then you’ll never succeed.  You’ll never stub your toe standing still.  Remember the turtle, he never gets anywhere until he sticks his neck out.  You can’t succeed if you’re not willing to risk failure. Have you failed? Get up. ...
