Your Job - God's Favourite House

By
 
“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?” {Luke.14:28}|
It is clear that God’s heart for us this year and beyond is victory and so shall it be, in Jesus Name. Why do we keep reiterating this? It is because you and I must let it sink deep down in our souls that God will give us victory. But you must take responsibility as the general of your life. You [not the nation, or the government, or the Politicians] are the general of your life. The earlier you realize it, the better for you and your children yet unborn. The posterity of your soul, of your destiny and of your generation is up to you.

I agree that there is a place for the government providing an enabling environment. Yet the truth remains that the posterity of your soul and of your life is in your hands whether the government is good or bad. I am sure you are aware that there are paupers even in those countries that we consider the “best countries”. There are people that will not even become all that God has created them to be. So what is the problem? The truth is that until the individual takes responsibility for his or her destiny, nothing happens.

In your home for instance, whose job is it to love your wife and make her happy? Is it the government’s job? Whose job is it to make sure your husband is fulfilled? Whose job is it to ensure that you prosper spirituality, you prosper in your soul, and you prosper financially? It is your job. Your progress begins the day you take responsibility for it.

In Luke 14:28-32 [please read], Jesus is teaching us the Principle of Economy. Count the cost. Do the math. Sit down and check if you can launch the attack you are planning. Ascertain if you should be fighting that battle. Unfortunately, a lot of people are fighting battles they have no business fighting. You do not have enough resources to fight every battle that comes your way. Some battles you avoid. Why? It is because you have common sense. General George Patton said, “Every battle we fight will result in a gain for us or we will not fight.” In other words, do not engage in a battle you are not sure of its outcome.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please empower me to take responsibility for my life daily so that I will be all that God has created me to be, in Jesus Name.

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

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 ...

THEME: MAKE ROOM FOR GOD 2Corinthians 1-9 You should not be among the many that are living without the precious things God promised.The LORD Jesus Christ said in John 16:24" Until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full. In making plans for your life and your future,stop focusing attention on only what you think you can do and what your resources can carry. You will be limiting God by so doing.When you plan for only what you can achieve by your personal efforts,you exclude God's grace and weary yourself with much toiling and energy exertion.Instead,you should make room for God in every plan you make. Plan to grow bigger and better in every unfolding phase of your life. When you plan for bigger things than your known resources can carry,do so with clear understanding that only God will help you to attain your desires.This understanding drives you to your knees.As you consistently pray and hold unto God,miracle are birthed...
