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: 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...

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 ...
