“How could one person chase a thousand of them, and two people put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?” 
- Deu.32:30

When God gives you an instruction to give something and you hold on to it, that thing is marked for consumption. For instance, God says give your pen to that lady. If you obey and give her the pen, it gets credited to your account in heaven where thieves cannot reach it.  However, if you hold on to the pen you are holding on to something that does not belong to you. You are holding on to something heaven has labeled “for takes”. I know this may sound rather harsh but it is the truth of God’s Word.

So you are better off giving what God has asked you to give. And guess what, you get account credit in heaven and God also blesses you for it. Giving is just the way to go. Make a list of all the important people in your life and determine by yourself what it will take for them to be happy in their relationship with you. Take this assignment very seriously. Whatever will make them happy, that thing is your contribution. Go ahead and make the contribution.

Who are the most important people in my life? Your spouse – what will it take for your spouse to be happy in his or her relationship with you? That is your contribution; make that contribution. What will it take for your children to be delighted in their relationship with you? Note that that is your contribution, so start making it. What will it take for your boss to be excited every time you step into the office? What it will take, is your contribution; do it! Do these things and you will see how people will turn in your favour. You cannot continue to behave like a vagabond and expect that your prayer for favour will amount to anything.

#4. None of Us Is Stronger Than All of Us. To unlock concerted action, realize that none of us is stronger than all of us. None of us is more anointed than all of us. Even if you are so anointed, by the time another person adds their “small” anointing to yours, it will still be more than your big anointing. Let us say you have thirty billion dollars in your account and somebody else has a hundred dollars in their account. By the time you come together, you will still have more than you had initially.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please give me a burden for my contributions and let me not rest until I have made them and honored God, in Jesus Name

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional February 26, 2016

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

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 ?

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...
