BIRTHING A GREAT DESTINY 25/11/2015

JER: 29:10-11

 PSALMS: 91:1

JER:1:5

Before I arrived, God planned my life, if I arrived before I was planned for, then it’s an afterthought, 

which is not what God did.

The presence of man is the only connection God has with the earth!

The earth is like the other planets except that its inhabitants are human.

God uses the same amount of power he uses to protect and take care of the earth, to take care of the other planet.

God has the power to sustain entities he has no interest in.

God doesn’t have a name.

For everything you ascribe to GOD is not his name, For no word can describe our God

When men encounter God, they called him the encounter

Anything that has a name can be defined and everything that can be defined has limitation.

Every child of God has a great destiny, no matter your state or condition

There are territories you cannot invade

Good governance does not equal great life

Your dependency in God is very important and must be your strong shield

You can’t build your life without accessing God’s plan.

You cannot have a plan without having a planner

God is the planner and Architect of every life and we should meet him first before decided on building your life.

ORDER, CONDITION FOR THE NEXT LEVEL 22/11/2015

2 Kings 20:1

Proverbs 30:24-28

Rev 5:1-5

The point of crying is just to release emotion and doesn’t bring solution.

Remove your eyes from the problem and focus on the contest so that you can be victorious

Life has an order by which it moves

Put your life in order and cry ceases

STOP CRYING!!!

It’s not God’s will for man to perish, but that every man should come to order

Order is a scarce commodity in Africa

Standing in queue in places like banks, filling station is so hard for Africans because they have been instilled with disorderliness

You are born to be orderly because our God is an orderly God and he loves orderliness

Pro 30:25

THE ANT

The ant is an insect that a lot can be learnt from

The ants prepare their food in summer in readiness for winter

They don’t thrive in wet environment but in dry one

They understand that seasons change and therefore plan for it

Learn from the ant and order your life like that of the ant

Ants don’t rest in summer because they are orderly

Ants consistently work so we must tirelessly do the work of God

Jesus defined seasons too, I must work during the day before the night cometh

20-40years is the age to take risk and to work

Serve the Lord your God in the days of your youth

A CONNIE

Another kind of animal that makes its house on the rock

As a man who knows his weakness the name of the Lord should be his strong tower that he runs to

A wise man builds his house on a rock

It is easier to build on sand because to build on a rock you have to crack the rock

Psalm 18:2

No economy in the world is reliable or steady

The name of the Lord is a strong tower

When things are hard people work with the economy instead of trusting God

When it’s gets rough deepen you relationship with God

Build your house on the rock for it is not easy but better

LOCUSTS

They are harmless and insignificant when singled out of their band

They have no leader but they can be united

They are so weak and headless on their own

To further see their significance God sent them to plague Pharaoh.

The family or church that works together achieves more and that is the secret of Muslims

“If my people who are called by name humbles themselves and seek my face…………

God wants us to seek his face not his hands

Locust teaches us power of unity

We go to seek his hands, take what he has without concern for his face, his feeling or interest

There is no limit to people who are together Eccl 4-9

THE SPIDER

 The compilation of spider web brought about the bullet proof we have now

Whatever it will take you to achieve whatever you want is inside of you

The spider produces its web from inside

Everyone that have achieved what they want to already birthed it

A spider builds its web with such finess

Nothing can stop a man who has already discovered what is inside of him

The wisdom of spider is learning to abate and to adapt

Learn to abound

Spider know how to maintain and sustain what they have in their hands we should learn that

Learn not to fight each other

12 Laws of Service 15112015

Act 3:1-10
For God to remain sovereign, the world must follow order
There are different wills

·         The will of God

·         Of man

Every other will submits to these 2 wills


If the will of man cooperates with the will of God then the will of the devil cannot come into play.
No matter what God wants to do for you, if you don't cooperate with his will, then his will cannot come to pass; because the earth belongs to man.
Sovereign will of God, is God's reserve because He holds administrative right over the earth.
There are laws that govern the earth
12 laws

1.     Law of agreement:

If any 2 of you agree
God depends on the unity of the church to get certain things done
No man is a self-made man

2.      Law of Timing:
The heir as long as he is a child cannot access the inheritance. God does not work in time but he works with time. A child born at 7months is preterm.
Time doesn't change everything. It is what you do in time that changes everything.
Time will pass but what value have you added
Life is calibrated in seconds not in years

No such thing as accidental success, such people built momentum in the dark.

Man is guided by Chronus( Sequential timing)

God works with Kairos (supreme and opportune time)

Don't abuse your time. Make the best of it
Build muscle in your down time because you  need that strength in your up time

3.      Law of Routine
Actions form your habits which form your attitude
Doing things even when you don't feel like it
Doing the right thing consistently

Life is built by routine actions.
What are you committed to do with discipline

4.      Law of Excellence
Be holy and well put together
Putting everything together
Let everything be done with discipline and with order.
Giving attention to small details

Disorderliness does not reflect spirituality.

5.      Law of Access
Heb4:16
Don't allow anyone to stand between you and God.
No intermediary
The veil was torn in 2 by God
Nobody can give God worship on your behalf.
God has nothing against you. When Christ died, he provided forgiveness for all your sins, past, present and future.

6.      Law of Focus
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways...
...looking steadily unto Jesus
Following one course till you succeed
God doesn't want to be an option, He is the only course

7.      Law of Expectation
Your focus expedites what you are expecting
...I press toward the mark, because of the joy set ahead of you

8.      Law of Content
People give you what they are not jsut what they have
He who believes in me, out of his belly
God creates you to be a reservoir of resources

We carry God we don't look for God

9.      Law of Support
No human being exists in isolation. Each balancing one with another strengths and weakness. Help that doesn't build up is not help. Support brings strength.

10.  Law of Progress
Don't stay at a place. Make a conscious effort to move. Although your beginning is small, your latter end should be great. There is no excuse. Everybody should be something

11.  Law of Visibility
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works. Let the works of your hand give God praise
God received praise when the  work of your hands
Let men see God in your life
Let the glory of God shine in your life and let it glow

12.  Law of Awe
Let your life give meaning to God.
Let men give glory to God because of your life

Transferring the Legacies of Order 15112015

2king 19: 14-21
PS 72:17-17

God himself appointed Elisha to be the prophet in Elijah's stead

Human will is stronger that the will of God when it comes to this physical realm

For instance, there are things that God wants to do on earth that cannot be done if we don't fall in line

Sometimes we feel trapped as people
You are not doing exactly what you want to do

Sometimes older people do not have the values you expect them to have

The younger generation looks up to the older generation and many times the younger generation is disappointed by the life the older ones are living

Do we still have men who have integrity???

What Legacy are you  leaving behind?
What spiritual legacy am I leaving behind?

No matter how successful you are, if you have not been able to pass along the legacy of spirituality and godliness to your children you are a failure.

People pass along a heritage of lands and wealth and political positions to their children but spiritual things are being devalued.

We twist things. God and the things of God ought to come first and every other thing follows.

When a leader leaves and everything crumbles, that means the leader is a bad leader.
No leader succeeds until his successor succeeds.

Nobody should have a personal agenda
It is God that we serve.

Elijah was a very anointed  man of God. It was very well known. Yet Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's anointing.

The anointing is God's prerogative! Nobody can do anything to bring down the anointing. The only thing you can do is create a conducive atmosphere.

Most of us want a double portion of 'God's hand'; His blessings not his Essence, God himself.

Hunger for God is a desire for God himself not just the works of his hands.

We use worship as bribe sometimes, to cajole God.
 
God judges the heart, not the words of your mouth.

Often we are quick to take up the cross, the sacrifices but we don't want to take the shame, to despise the shame.

How long can we stand if we are shamed.


Having done everything to stand, you do more.

I know who I have believed

I am deeply persuaded.

Nobody else can persuade another. You may try to convince them, but you can only be persuaded by yourself

There's a rebellion, a disappointment because the younger generation has no one else to look up to.

God will not take you to a new place until he rids you of your past
Heb 12:1
Travel light

God created you with imagination not memory

He created you with foresight not hindsight

If you want to be great, get a man who has been there and follow him.

God wants people who are actively practicing the presence and works of God.

Having a form of godliness but lacking the power thereof!

Looking into Jesus
The author and finished of your salvation.

Not your Father or Mother or Government!
