Key Thoughts III - God's Favourite House

By

“So that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” 

 - Hebrews 6:12

Our concluding thought yesterday was that the fulfillment of every destiny will require several steps of faith. So in order to secure victory and fulfill destiny, you need to turn these destiny destroyers into destiny accelerators. So we start by replacing greed with generosity. Secondly, replace impatience with patience. Patience is a powerful destiny accelerator. People are quick to think that when you are patient, you are losing time because things are passing you by. But that is so far from the truth. Be patient! Patient people are some of the most powerful people on earth. They are not in a hurry even though things are moving and people are saying all sorts of things, they are patient. There is an English adage that says: the patient dog eats the fattest bone.

“So that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Heb.6:12 [ESV]. To inherit the promise of God, which you will in Jesus Name, you need patience. To enter in to your destiny in God, you need patience. In the place of prayer and waiting and even after you have prayed and fasted, you need to be patient. Patience is a force of destiny. But impatience destroys destinies very quickly. Impatience can reduce someone that has a lot to someone that has zero. You cannot afford to be impatient about how and where to invest. Relax, calm down and hear what God is  saying.

Thirdly, diligence in place of laziness. Diligence accelerates your destiny. Our major challenge as human beings is that we get satisfied too easily. God promotes you to that level [at work, in your business] that you think is a big one. But unfortunately, we think we have arrived. Let me tell you something, the truth of the Word of God, as long as there is breath in your nostrils [as long as you can still breath], you have not arrived. The day you arrive, your assignment is done and they will take you to heaven. Even if you have all the money in the world, you have not arrived. There are resources in Mars. People are colonizing Mars and you are talking about earth. Make up your mind not to get satisfied too easily.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please fill me with generosity and take away greed, give me patience and remove impatience, and make me diligent where I have been lazy, 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

By
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...

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...
