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.

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 ...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...
