BE READY TO WALK AND FIGHT ALONE

/0 Comments/in , /by

37/40 DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING
Bible Study: Joshua 4-6 & 2 Thessalonians 1-3.
Devotion: Genesis 32:24-28.
1. Jacob Was Left Alone: Oftentimes we face challenges alone. Jacob wrestled with an agel of the Lord all night.
2. He was tired of his position of swindling people and living in hiding. He wanted his story to be re rewritten for good this time around.
3.When the angel saw that he was not winning, he dislocated Jacobs hip out of the socket. Jacob never gave up but put up a galant fight to defeat the angel in order to get the blessings he needed so much.
To move from where you are to where God wants you to be, you need to fight a good fight both in the body, spirit and faith.
4. I will not let you Go: Until Jacob received his blessing he was ready to fight. Do not give up too early. Fight until you get what you want in life. Finally,
5.What is You Name: The problem Jacob had was in his name. What is your name? Names give us identity and influence our behaviour. If your name has a negative meaning, change it. Jacob had his name changes to Isreal(chosen one). God does not bless groups but our individual inputs will be rewarded by Him. Receive God’s grace to fight alone in order to get your expectations in life in Jesus name.
Prayers of Thanksgiving
1. Heavenly Father we thank for your loving kindness, grace and mercy in Jesus name
2. Thank you for renewing our strength to work, pray and fast like the morning dew in Jesus name.

5. Father in Heaven, we ask that may you change every negative identity in our lives that is responsible for our inability to receive blessings from you in Jesus name.
6. Father I receive the spirit of strength, boldness and courage to fight for what belongs to me in redemption in Jesus name.
7. Father every blessing that is mine been diverted from me, i recollect by force in Jesus name.
8. Father the same way you blessed Jacob and changed his story, as we conclude our prayer and fasting, bless me and change my story in Jesus name.
9. Father thank you for answering our prayers in Jesus name.

ANOINTING FOR BREAKING NEW GROUNDS

/0 Comments/in , /by

33/40 DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING
Bible Study: Deuteronomy 31-34 & 1 Thessalonians 1-3.
Devotion: Matthew 25:1-13.
–1. We are told of the story of ten bridesmaids. Five wise ones took the lamps with oil and the other five ones did not take any oil in their lamps.
-It is an error for a christian to start a day, new job, any project, get married, or do anything without the anointing.
-What made the difference between the two groups was the OIL. Oil signifies the ANOINTING.
–2. At Midnight, they all slept. We can all do the same work but our results will not be the same. What makes the difference is the ANOINTING.
–3. The Groom came at unexpected hour: Challenges and opportunities of life will present them in an expected manner and times. What makes us to respond and stay on top of things is the Anointing.
–4. You do not secure the anointing in the challenging moment, we must ensure our ANOINTING levels are full and intacked daily before events happen to us.
–5. Buy for yourself: The anointing is free but not cheap. Meaning it is open to everyone who needs it.However, It has demands and there is a price for it. It will demand righteousness, prayer and fasting, soaking in the word and also facing challenges head on.
–6. I Know You Not: The anointing releases a sweet smelling fragrance of ACCEPTANCE. When you have the anointing, things will work for you.
-Where others are falling and failing, you will succeed by the ANOINTING.
-What makes the difference between those making it and those not in all areas of life, is the Anointing.
-Anointing gives you speed and makes you a preferred choice.
-Receive Grace to keep the anointing running daily, in Jesus name.

BREAKING NEW GROUNDS

/0 Comments/in , /by

DEUTERONOMY 1:6-7.

 Breaking new grounds, advancing and making progress in everything you do is the will of God. He hates stagnation, complacence, staying long enough in comfort zones and maintaining a status quo.
 Horeb at Mount Sinai was a place of comfort. It provided security, rest, satisfaction and assurance to Moses and the Israelites to an extent where they all forgot about their destination Canaan. Never feel like you have arrived.
 What is it that is giving you comfort? It is a job, one contract, certificate etc? Remember GOOD is the worst enemy of the BEST. No matter your level in this life, there is a better place ahead of you, than where you are. Keep moving forward and pushing.
WHAT DOES BREAKING NEW GROUNDS MEAN?
There are three major meaning and definitions we shall consider.
 Coming out of Stagnation: Stagnation is simply remaining in the same position for longer that expected. Been stationed without moving nor making progress in life, career, family, finances, business, ministry etc
 Dismantling Mediocre and Unprofitable Allies, Friendships and Camps:At Horeb everyone including Moses accepted mediocrity, and status quo to a level where they forgot about their mission God gave them. Prune allies, friendships and camps that will not help you to get to your destination.
 Progress and Advancement: breaking new grounds means advancing in un known territories, all areas of life, career, ministry and destiny. God wants you to get married, have children, get that good job, qualifications and business breakthroughs. Life makes sense when you face challenges and overcome them, not challenges weighing you down. Receive grace for advancement in Jesus name.
 To break new grounds you need to apply force (Matthew 11:12)

HOW THEN CAN WE BREAK NEW GROUNDS?
1. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND TIMES AND SEASONS (Isaiah 55:10-11.)
 Life has got times and season. Summer/Hot season, Winter/Cold season, and spring/rain season.
 Each season has a time frame, when that time is up, automatically the season ends after accomplishing its purpose.
 In life there are times and season, time to sow and harvest. Therefore, no one season must last forever. If you observe a long season of drought, disfavor, no progress and everything stops moving and you are sick and tired of your current situation, then it is the perfect season to break new grounds.
 Even in school each grade, level, program and degree has a season and time frame. Check your life where you have over stayed, and push for a new level and ground in Jesus name.

2. BE READY TO WALK AND FIGHT ALONE: (Genesis 32:24:28.)

 In life you cannot succeed in groups. You must write an exam alone. Blessings come on individual basis.
 Breaking new grounds will demand for a strong fight of faith. Actions and hard work with no short cuts involved.
 You can not break grounds in comfort, it will demand your fight, walking along many times and confronting your fears head on.

3. DO WHAT YOU HAVE NOT DONE BEFORE(Joshua 1:8).
 Moses died without handover notes to Joshua so it had to take God himself to instruct Joshua to be STRONG and COURAGEOUS.
 To be Strong means to have might, power and strength to fulfill your assignment.
 To be Courageous does not mean, we are not afraid. It means risking our lives even when we are afraid, by confronting and taking on bold steps in life towards our goals and assignments.
 Receive strength and courage to confront and bring to delivery the assignment you have been given in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father in heaven, I receive the anointing I need to break new grounds in every area of my life in Jesus
2. Father open my eyes to see and understand times and seasons in Jesus name
3. Father I ask for grace to walk along and fight for my break though and new level in Jesus name
4. Father, baptize me with fresh strength and courage to break new grounds in Jesus.

The Blessing of Serving God

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Scriptures: Psalm 112:1:1-10 and Jobs 1:1-10
Serving God is not a reduction. Instead it is promotion and elevation in life.
1. ACTUAL BLESSINGS
From Psalm 112:1-10 the following blessings are laid down for everyone who serves God;
1. Fearing God and obeying his commandments brings joy
2. Our children will be mighty and successful everywhere
3. Wealth and riches are suppose to be in our houses
4. Even in darkness light will dawn for the upright
5. Good will come to us when we lend generously
6. The righteous will never be shaken
7. Bad news will not make us afraid
8. Confidence is ours as we rest our hope in the Lord
9. We shall be remembered forever because we are a blessing to the needy
10. Our enemies will be defeated before our very eyes

2. JOB A MAN GOD BLESSED
Now let us look at a man called Job that God blessed in Job 1:1-10.
1. We are told he was Blameless and upright: He conducted his affairs without corruption
2. He feared God and shunned evil
3. He had seven sons and three daughters
4. He had a lot of possessions or wealth
– 7000 sheep ( He was into textile industry)
– 3000 camels (camels carried heavy duty goods. Today we can say he had 3000 trucks carrying heavy goods so he monopolized Transport sector)
– 500 Yoke of Oxen (Oxen was used for ploughing. Meaning he was a commercial farmer of his time)
– 500 female donkeys (female donkeys are used for transportation. In today’s terms, you can talk of a fleet of land cruisers, range rovers, Mercedes Benz etc)
– Also he had a huge household so he had mansions
– Finally he was the greatest in the east.
5. God was proud of Jobs to an extent where he bragged about him to Satan (8)
6. Also God had put a hedge of protection around his life, family and around all he had (10)
7. God blessed the works of his hands and his possession increased greatly.
As a matter of fact, we can see that serving God is neither a loss nor waste of time but has blessings attached and all of them have been highlighted above. May you serve God with joy in Jesus name.

Lord I Need a Second Touch

24/40 DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING
Bible Study: Deuteronomy 4-7 & Galatians 3-6.
DEVOTION: Mark 8:22-25.
1. One day Some people brought a blind man to Jesus
2. For some reason Jesus took him outside the village to heal him.
3. This time he used a very strange fomular. He had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him.
4. He asked him if he saw anything. His response was i see people but they look like trees. Jesus knew something was still not right within the man.
5. So he touched him a Second time. This time his eyes were opened and his sight was restored. He saw everything clearly.
6. Finally, one touch, one breakthrough, one house, one miracle and healing may not be enough. We need a second touch for perfection and making our miracle permanent.
This man saw people as trees. If he was not perfectly healed, he would have been the most famous serial killer in history. Then Jesus realised he needed to be fully restored for him to be able to fulfill destiny. How far you go in life depends on what you see out of life. If your eyes are good you will see good. If they are bad you will see bad. Receive your second touch to make your miracle permanent in Jesus name.

OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE

/0 Comments/in , /by

4/40 DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING. Devotion: Psalm 81:10 says that “I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” We must realise that we serve a mighty God. He is the one who brought the Children of Isreal out of Egypt. Spiritually, Egypt was a place of restoration for Jacob and his Descendants during famine in the times of Joseph. Later on Another King who knew nothing about Joseph ruled Egypt and for the next 400+ years Egypt became a place of Terror, affliction, slavery and operation for Isreal(Genesis 46 and Exodus 1:1-18).Then They cried out to the Lord and He sent Moses to deliver them. This entire process seemed like a dream, an impossible task but God did it. Because they cried out to the Lord. What situation are you facing? Today open your mouth wide cry out to the Lord in faith and see how the Lord will perform as you call on Him in Jesus name.
