TRUTH STILL TO LIVE BY AND TO PRACTICE IN 2015

LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF ZACHARIAS
LUKE 1: 5-25

1.
USE SHAMGAR PRINICPLE TO DEAL WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE AND EVER REFUSE LET THE IMPOSSIBLE INTIMIDATE YOU.

REMEMBER SHAMGAR PRINCIPLE (LAW) - "DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE WHERE YOU ARE." - JUDGES 3:31.

ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND - JER. 32:27 & MAL. 3:6 AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER TO BALANCE MATT. 19:26 WITH LUKE 19:26.


2.
YOUR FAITH DOES NOT MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN - IT IS RATHER YOUR FAITH IN WHAT YOU SPEAK OR SAY THAT CAUSES THE VERY WORD OF GOD TO MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN.

THEREFORE, KEEP SPEAKING WORDS THAT ALIGN WITH HIS WILL - GOD IS PLANNING AND DOING SOMETHING BEYOND YOUR FAITH - JER. 29:11.


3.
GOD DOES NOT NEED YOUR FAITH TO MOVE - HE IS ABSOLUTELY AND ALTOGETHER SOVEREIGN. YOU ONLY NEED TO ANCHOR YOUR FAITH IN HIS WORD (BELIEVE HIM AND BELIEVE HIS PROPHET) TO MOVE HIM TO ACTION.

HENCE, EVEN WHEN YOUR FAITH STOPS WORKING, GOD WILL USE THE ELEMENT CALLED 'TIME' AS LONG AS IN FAITH YOU ARE WAITING ON HIM. (HAB. 2:3)


4.
STOP LOOKING BACK AND AROUND. LEARN TO FACE YOUR TOMORROW WITHOUT THE FEARS OF YESTERDAY - MATT. 6: 25-34.


5.
MAN MUST COOPERATE WITH GOD BY OBEYING A DIVINE INSTRUCTION TO RECIEVE A MIRACLE. MAGIC ACTS WITHOUT MAN'S WILL OR COOPERATION BUT NOT MIRACLE.

REMEMBER GOD DID NOT BLESS THE LIKES OF ABRAHAM AND ZACHARIAS VIA THEIR REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS BUT BY HIS RESSURECTION POWER WHEN THEY OBEYED AND PERFORMED THE INSTRUCTION ON FRUITFULNESS GIVEN TO THEM.

6.
NOTHING CAN STOP YOUR MIRACLE WHEN IT IS DUE. DUE MIRACLE IS SO POWERFUL SUCH THAT YOU MUST REAP YOUR HARVEST IN DUE TIME AND NOTHING CAN CHANGE IT.


7.
WHEN ALL APPEAR TO BE TOO LATE - REMEMBER:

A) NEVER FORGET THAT THINGS CAN STILL CHANGE IN A DAY IF YOUR DON'T GIVE UP.

B) YOUR DELAY HAS TO DO WITH DIVINE APPOINTMENT IF YOUR A TRUELY HIS CHILD.

C) YOUR DELAY OFTEN IS THE WAY GOD TAKES CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY.

HENCE, THERE IS AN APPOINTED TIME FOR YOU TO BE HEALED, DELIVERED, RECOVERED, GIVEN AN OPEN DOOR, GET A MASSIVE CATCH ON YOUR NET - AS LONG AS YOU SURRENDER IN BY FAITH IN HOPE.

Many Christrians Are Unhappy. Why????

Beloved,

Apostolic greetings in the name of Him, who saves unto the utmost, even Jesus, The Christ of God. Please read Psalm 119:105 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 first of all before you read the rest of this write-up. I am full aware that there are tough days at work, trouble at home, and it never gets easier. Moreover, I am very much aware that as you grow older it can be tough to stay happy and upbeat with the challenges that life throws at you. But as I pray for you, I have few questions to ask you. Is it tough to enjoy time with friends and family? Are you able to focus and work hard? Do you ever feel unhappy?

The sad truth is that many Children of God struggle to stay happy. From King David to Apostle Paul as well as many others in the Bible, we have come to understand that a poor mood can wear and tear on your body leaving you feeling tired, drained, and empty inside. Unhappiness can damage your relationships, hurt family and friends, and make it tough to succeed. Everyday can be a struggle.

Living happy empowers you. It is imperative that a Christian live a better, more successful life. As such you ought to find yourself always playing with friends, eating dinner with your family, and feeling empowered. Moreover, you ought to find yourself motivated and achieving your goals. Beloved, you ought to have fun living the fulfilling, long life you deserve. You have, in Christ Jesus, the ability to achieve anything, but it's almost impossible without the right mindset, mood, and support.

We are in a spiritual war against our only known enemy Satan. Therefore, gaining and maintaining a positive mood can be hard. But a promising new discovery which is really the same old truth is bringing hope to as many as would hold on to it. "Mood Enhancement" has to be ONLY by a way to safely support your body's healthy, natural mental function by nourishing your body with vital nutrients of the Word of God and proven ingredients. Remember any treatment with Drug alters your brain's chemistry and never a safe natural way for adults to feel better and live happier. But when you learn to use the raw Word of God - just like it is:

Helps ease effects of stress and anxiety
Promotes a positive mood and live happier
Support healthy, natural mental function
Makes enjoying times with friends and family
Live a happier, more active life

The daily dosage of at least 20 Minutes of Morning & Evening personal devotion (concentrating in prayers with only one of the promises of God from any part of the Bible that guarantees victory over every negative roots of Galatians 5: 19-21. Every found verse of the Scripture that fits into dealing with the acting out of these vices is just like taking two pills in the morning or evening. Within a few hours of your first dose you should start feeling the effects. Most people see gradual improvement over the first two weeks.

Rather than feeling drowsy or slow in the day, you would find that a single memorized verse for the day gently eases stress and anxiety as you keep speaking that verse out through out the day, while also helping you feel better. Copy out the Verse in a clip board or piece of glaring paper if you cannot memorize it. Keep reading it to yourself in the course of the Day. This sample takes a few days to take effect, but the results can be well worth it. Begin early everyday, first, with a personal devotion. Wake up bright and refreshed in the mornings. Then the strength to work hard, enjoy your day, and feel positive. This practice helps support your mood without side effects of drugs such as drowsiness or trouble sleeping. It is also non-habit forming that is negative but a habit-forming that is positive.

Write me about your experience after a three month trial of this consistent morning and evening personal devotion. Amen.

Maranatha.

WHAT THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE OUGHT TO BE !!!

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. — Proverbs 27:17


This is one of the best verses that fitly defines what the Christian Marriage is all about and should be about. It is sobering to realize that one of the partners in a marriage RELATIONSHIP may be a thorn in the flesh of the other partner like in any human relationship whether it is even at work or in any ordinary human relationship. Has it dawned on you that you are another person's problem because of your particular personality? Christian marriage is no exception. The problem is, of course, each of us may be the problem, but unfortunately we make it somebody else's as well. It may be the person who has to live with you especially the one married to you, or work with you, or deal with you from time to time. You force that person to have to walk on eggshells around you. He or she loses sleep because of you. How does that make you feel? Well, it sobers me to my fingertips, knowing that I may very well be another person's thorn in the flesh.

Perhaps you are aware of your problem, but you say, "I can't help it. This is who I am." You have prayed about it often. But have you really tried to get help? You are never too old to learn as long as you want your problems solved.

So when you don't have a balanced personality, you have difficulty in getting along with people. You keep sticking your foot in your mouth. You keep rubbing people the wrong way. Only Jesus had the perfect personality. He also has the perfect combination of self-confidence and care for others. That is the ideal person: having the balance of self-confidence, concern, and care for others.

If your personality is your thorn in the flesh, then you should admit it. Be thankful if you can see that you have a problem.

A personality problem is not necessarily sin especially in marriage. It is because you are a sinner that you have it, yes, for nobody is perfect. And yet there is a point at which a personality problem becomes sin: when you excuse it and justify it. If you say, "Well, that's just me," that's when it becomes sin. It is sinful when you excuse yourself and do nothing about it.

We all must be seriously become aware that Marriage carries along with it destructive habits, selfishness, low self-esteem, and an inability to communicate - all examples of the excess baggage we may bring into a marriage. Excess baggage causes problems because we start new relationships with emotional and relational weaknesses that prevent us from serving our spouses.
We begin to accumulate excess baggage because of the devastation brought to relationships and marriages by hardness of heart, a root cause for much of the world’s brokenness (Mark 3:5). Oftentimes the hardness of heart in past relationships damages us and provides the unhealthy patterns we bring to our marriages as excess baggage.

Sometimes there is no easily identifiable single sin that brings down a marriage. Instead, a marriage weighed down by the excess baggage of unhealthy, sinful attitudes reaches a tipping point and the relationship is crushed.

Even in the best of marriages, each spouse brings wrong attitudes and unrealistic expectations learned in the developing years. Children who experience a home with addiction, physical abuse or divorce face higher hurdles in having healthy relationships of their own. Statistically, at least one marriage partner today will come from a divorced family.

Even if it’s done unintentionally, people who are hurt tend to hurt others. Unless we break the cycles and patterns of brokenness in our relationships, we’ll only make things worse. The good news is that there is hope.

Prayer joined with professional and pastoral counseling can help us work through our excess baggage that hinders us so that we can develop healthy relationships. Husbands and wives each bring problems into relationships. We can all admit the simple fact that “I’ve got problems. You’ve got problems… All God’s children got problems.” With this honesty and a soft heart, we don’t have to spend the rest of our lives weighed down by our baggage—no matter how much of it we have

Three Rules of Predictive Prophecy

Three Rules of Predictive Prophecy

A prophet is vindicated and his message authenticated by the fulfillment of his predictions. (In other words) there are definite laws governing predictive prophecy.

Here are the three laws:

1. An accurate prediction must be beyond the power of human foresight or sagacity. In other words, forecasts based on any observable (natural) trends are ruled out. This means that prophesying an obvious or common future event does not constitute a true predictive prophecy. For example, predicting that the sun will rise tomorrow morning is not in any way a prediction. It is a statement of fact. No foreknowledge from the Holy Spirit was required.

2. An accurate prediction must contain a sufficient number of specific details to preclude guesswork. Generalizations do not fit the norm of real predictive prophecy. The more accurate and fulfilled details there are in a prophecy, the greater the likelihood the prediction was truly from God.

3. A sufficient time must elapse between the prediction and its fulfillment to prevent any agency of the prophet or his contemporaries from bringing about the results. An accurate prophecy gains strength and momentum by itself over time until the season for its fulfillment. In this sense, time is the great test of all predictive prophecy. True predictive prophecy comes to pass OVER TIME, and inaccurate predictive prophecy fails to come to pass OVER TIME.

Want to know whether a predictive prophecy is from God? Give it time!

Please join me as we work together to maintain Biblical integrity in prophetic ministry. Let's make sure we continually follow up on any prophetic predictions we give. This is the responsibility of all prophetic ministers.

Hope this helps and to God be the glory,

The Twelve Steps To Become Daily What You Think

God speaks to you at the speed of thought. Thought moves at the speed of light. As quickly as light illuminates a room, a single thought can illuminate your life. You are always only one thought away from living the life of your dreams – one decision away from destiny.

James Allen wrote in his timeless classic, As A Man Thinketh, "All that a man achieves or fails to achieve is a direct result of his own thoughts." Your life moves in the direction of your thoughts. Thoughts are the ever-present currents that move you either closer or further away from your best future. The Steps:

1. The Law of Attraction: Like a short-wave radio signal, your thoughts send messages out on a specific frequency and are transmitted back to you as an experience or occurrence in your life. Your thoughts create a magnetic field around you – attracting either positive or negative experiences. What you think has the power to literally transform your life.

Your life is what your thoughts make it. James Allen also observed that a person "will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him." This is the basic premise of the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that we attract into our lives whatever we focus on as a result of the energy that is exchanged in the process. Because all matter – seen and unseen – is comprised of energy, the energy created by our unseen thoughts either attracts or repels the energy matter of what we ultimately see and experience as a result.

This phenomena is rooted in the findings of quantum physics – which found that nothing in the universe is static due to the fact that all matter is vibrating energy – raw energy that responds to the vibrations of our thoughts, so that consequently "what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen" (Hebrews 11:3 NLT). It is the essence of faith, "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV).

2. Law of Association: Everything you see began in the unseen realm. The first book of the Bible tells us that God spoke the earth into existence – "the worlds were framed by the word of God" (Hebrews 11:3). Yet before God's word ever was, there were His thoughts. The source of all energy and all matter is the mind of God. The Creator – the Great Imaginarian – in whose image you were created.

Your thoughts are powerful. If you want to change your life, you must change your thoughts. If you want to unstick or unclutter your life, you must first unstick and unclutter your thoughts.

"What You Invest Mental Energy in is What You Tie Your Soul to, Both Positively and Negatively."

3. Law of Creation: How are unhealthy soul toxins and debilitating soul ties created in the first place? How can you end up cluttering your soul simply by the thoughts that you think? It is due to this exchange of energy that takes place when you give something your attention, entertain it in your mind, meditate upon it, and speak about it. What you invest mental energy in is what you tie your soul to, both positively and negatively.

As currents of electricity create electromagnetic fields connecting positive or negative charges, your thoughts create similar fields. Your positive thoughts attract positive attachments; your negative thoughts attract negative attachments. Whatever your soul can conceive, there is potential for attachment. As a mother will form attachments to the life conceived within her, so your soul forms attachments to whatever it conceives.

4. Law of the Seed: Satan primarily attacks the seed as to forestall your Harvest. That is the only aim of the attacks you face. The seed of a thought, like the seed of a life, when planted will always result in an exchange of energy and therefore some kind of an attachment. Whether aborted or stillborn, an exchange of energy has taken place.

An exchange takes place through investments of time, energy, attention, and action in the form of thoughts, deeds, or words. Exchanges can be both intentional and unintentional. Sometimes we can be completely oblivious to what we've attached our souls – something may have taken hold in our mind because we inadvertently paid attention to it for too long. I believe this is why Isaiah stated, "(He) who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil... will dwell on high" (Isaiah 33:15-16).

5. The Law of Attention: You have to be careful about what you pay attention to – what you spend time and energy thinking about and dwelling upon. Your life will move in the direction of what you contemplate. As it says in Proverbs, "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life" (Proverbs 4:23 NLT). What consumes your thoughts gives you a good indication of what ties your soul.

"Whatever You Harbor in the Innermost Corridors of Your Thought-Life Will, Sooner or Later, Reveal Itself in the Outer Arena of Your Life."

Our thoughts, intentions, motivations, and aspirations – whether they be secretly pondered in the heart, openly declared as a desire, or formally written as goals – mold and shape our personal universe into something either grand and beautiful or base and hideous. Whatever you harbor in the innermost corridors of your thought-life will, sooner or later, reveal itself in the outer arena of your life. Whatever is hidden will eventually be brought to light. First Corinthians 4:5 ESV states that God "will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart." Just as a seed is for a time hidden under ground, it will eventually break through the surface and it's true essence will ultimately be revealed.

6. The Law of Sight and Perception: You cannot possess what you cannot see first of all in your mind or what your thought cannot perceive. Everything you see in the natural began as a spiritual seed – a thought. The temporal realm has its roots in the spiritual. Grabbing a hold of this profound spiritual truth will enable you to make some critical connections that can transform your life. Once you understand that the spiritual realm is the "causal realm," you will begin to grasp the massive power of your thoughts, ideas, words, and prayers – spiritual things that engineer, mold, and craft the current and future state of your temporal existence.

Proverbs tells us, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he," (Proverbs 23:7 AMP). Your outer world is a direct result of your inner world. Every circumstance in life is a result of a choice – and every choice is the result of a thought. All those things that fill your mind hold the keys to your reality. Make it a habit to examine what your thoughts are chasing after.

7. The Law of the First Thing or Firstling: Able choose to give God the firstling (the first and the best of his thought manifested in his gift) and Cain gave to God the produce of his farm (the afterthought from the deliberate wicked produce of his heart to give God the ordinary and not the best and first - not a God centered and God motivated produce) which was rejected. It was rejected not because it had no blood but because his thoughts were evil. We must learn to harness our thoughts if we are to effectively reign as kings and priests in this earth. We must understand who we were created to be as children of God and the authority we have in Christ. We have inherited the Kingdom and been given dominion over all our adversaries.

"The First Thing We Must Do in Taking Possession of God's Promises is to Take Possession of Our Thoughts."

We are told in Ephesians 6:12 that our fight is not with flesh and blood, but with powers and principalities – a fight that can't be won with our hands, only with our minds. You must become as skilled in your thoughts as a swordsman is with his sword. Taking control of your thoughts will cause you to gain control over your life. That is what putting on the armor of God is all about. (See Ephesians 6:14-17.)

The first thing we must do in taking possession of God's promises is to take possession of our thoughts. This might not appear to require a great deal of skill or effort, let alone training or practice, but there is only one thing harder to master than your thoughts and that is your tongue! (See James 3:8.)

8. The Law of Diligence: Winning the battle in your thought-life requires meditating daily on the truths found in Scripture, studying diligently to show yourself approved, and becoming an earnest and life-long student of the art of spiritual warfare.

Throughout the New Testament we are told that our battles do not take place in the temporal realm but in the spiritual realm. We are told in nearly every epistle, "Fear not, only believe" (see Mark 5:36), "gird up the loins of your mind" (see 1 Peter 1:13), "renew your mind" (see Romans 12:2), and "put on the mind of Christ" (see 1 Corinthians 2:16). We are taught in Romans that to "set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace" (Romans 8:6 ESV).

"Every Battle is Won or Lost in the Arena of Your Mind. If You Do Not Take Control of Your Inner Thoughts You Will Become a Slave to the Outer Circumstances Created by the Tempest Raging in Your Mind."

We are instructed to "take every thought captive to obey Christ" because "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds... every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 ESV).

Every battle is won or lost in the arena of your mind. If you do not take control of your inner thoughts you will become a slave to the outer circumstances created by the tempest raging in your mind. The divine spirit within you won't be driving your life, the storms and changing weather of your thoughts will. You must command your thoughts as Jesus commanded the sea. (See Luke 8:24.)

9: The Law of Approximation or Permission: Don't Underestimate the Power of Your Thoughts. Whatever your predominant focus is, that is what you give permission to exist in your life. Jabez chose to focus on his future desires rather than his present circumstances. Many times people focus on the negative and they live in a cycle of negativity. You have to choose to focus on the positive. You have to train your mind to think on whatever is honest, virtuous, and praiseworthy. (See Philippians 4:8). Whatever is going wrong in your life is a result of your focus. If you don't like it, change your focus.

In Genesis 13:14-18, God taught Abraham something about focus. He told him to look at the territory he was giving him, to walk the land in every direction, and visualize the expanse of his legacy. He took him to the seashore, had him run sand through his fingers, and said, "For every grain of sand, you will have a descendant." What did God train him to do? He trained him to focus on bigger thoughts. He taught him how to visualize his destiny.

"The First Thing That You Need to Change is Your Thoughts About What God Wants for You. He Wants You to Live a Life of Abundance. It is His Desire to Give You Divine, Universal Secrets to Great Success and Prosperity."

If you plan to change your future, do not focus on things or people or circumstances that are smaller than what you are truly desiring. Your focus will either feed your faith or confirm your fears. Learn to think like Abraham. Think intentionally, generationally, and even globally. You can never think too big for God!

You must also train your mind to think in the present – to think positively in the present tense (in grammatical terms that would be "the present perfect") – see the thing that you want, the business you hope to accomplish, the person you plan to marry, and so on, as if you are already in possession of what you desire. Condition your mind to accept these thoughts and you will draw these opportunities and experiences to yourself.

Your success and prosperity hinge on what lies within your mind. The first thing that you need to change is your thoughts about what God wants for you. He wants you to live a life of abundance. It is His desire to give you divine, universal secrets to great success and prosperity. He holds the secret spiritual recipe for abundant living.

There are many people who may not be as spiritual as you are, but nevertheless they were able to tap into something great. Whether by accident or providence, they are living lives beyond their wildest dreams, and you can, too. You must say to yourself, until this one fact becomes your conviction, "God wants me to live in abundance!"

A world of possibilities is waiting to be released in your future. Jesus said in Mark 9:23, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

"Every Great Achievement Begins as a Thought in the Imagination of a Person. Every Thought is Birthed in the Spirit. Achievement, Therefore, is a Spiritual Process."

In Genesis 11, the people thought to themselves that they could build a tower to Heaven, and because they saw this tower in their minds they were able to build it. God stopped them by causing confusion and making it impossible for them to communicate, because the tower became an idol to them. However, this story still tells of the power of our thoughts: "Nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them" (Genesis 11:6 AMP).

10. The Law of Imagination: Man begins with a concept in his mind, something he believes he is able to accomplish; he joins his will and intellect to his imagination, and then the power of expectation sees it through. Every great achievement begins as a thought in the imagination of a person. Every thought is birthed in the spirit. Achievement, therefore, is a spiritual process.

Based on your ability to harness your imagination, life's opportunities either shrink or expand. Albert Einstein said, "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." Imagination drives the engine of innovation, discovery, problem-solving, and peace-making.

Whatever can be imagined already exists; it simply exists in another dimension – in another form or substance – and that is the source of all inspiration. God conceived and by His Spirit spoke into existence all that is. He brought what already was in the spiritual into the temporal by the power of His Word. He breathes that creative force – His very Spirit – into a human being at the moment a person receives that Word into their heart. It is His Spirit – the creative power of His Word – within an individual that gives inspiration and understanding of what already exists in the spiritual realm. "But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand" (Job 32:8 ESV). That spirit in you has always existed – it is eternal – and it is the source of all revelation and inspiration.

"Inspirational Thoughts Can Be Thought of as God Finding Expression for His Will Through the Minds of Ordinary Men and Women."

Our lives are built by a series of thoughts, much like bricks are used to build a house. The bricks are what bring it forth from a piece of paper and make it three dimensional. As a man thinks in his heart – in the present active continuum – as he continues to think – he builds his life one brick at a time.

Your every present thought is a significant building block in determining the quality of your future. Many of us build lives like shanties while others build mansions. If your thoughts are inferior your life will be inferior, but if your thoughts are lofty and honorable you are laying the foundation to live accordingly.

Purpose to think inspired thoughts. Inspiration is a God-thing. Inspiration is God Himself speaking into the heart of a human being. Inspirational thoughts can be thought of as God finding expression for His will through the minds of ordinary men and women. According to Jeremiah 29:11, God's thoughts are always good and not evil. I want to remind you that God is up to something good, and He has you in mind.

11. The Law of Correlation: Enlarge Your Territory. There is a direct correlation between the quality of your thoughts and the quality of your life. What you think determines who you are, it determines what you are, where you go, what you acquire, where you live, who you love, where you work, what you accomplish, what you read, and so on.

You will never have more, or go further, or accomplish greater things than your thoughts will allow you. Therefore, you must create an opulent thinking environment in order to create an opulent life. When you alter your thoughts, you alter your life. Your life is a reflection of your most dominant thoughts and meditations. When you meditate on success, you live a successful life.

"Become the Architect of Your Future. Use Your Thoughts Like an Architect Uses a Blueprint. Think About Every Detail."

The trouble for most people is that they don't know exactly what success would look like for them as individuals, or more importantly, what it would feel like personally. It is not enough to just meditate on success generally, you need to be specific. Become the architect of your future. Use your thoughts like an architect uses a blueprint. Think about every detail. An architect not only thinks about the rooms in a house, but the types of windows, the size of closets, the location of outlets, and so on. Nothing is too insignificant. Think big! Think detailed!

12. The Law of Progressive Thinking: If you want to progress in life, you've got to think progressive thoughts. To do so, something new must replace the old. You've got to think beyond where you are. Alexander Graham Bell thought beyond the limitation of the dots and dashes of the Morse code, and went on to replace the telegraph when he invented the telephone. Become a visionary – be creative. Take the limits off your mind!

This is the challenge of creative thinking – you've got to open the spiritual channels of your mind so that God can download divine creative thoughts into your brain. When other people were unable to see what was going on in Heaven, Jesus could. Spend some quality time with God and ask him to enlarge your capacity for thinking and imagining – ask Him to help you take the limits off. That's what Jabez did.

In 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV, Jabez prayed, "Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory!" Not only did Jabez ask God to expand the capacity of his mind, but he asked God to protect it as well. He asked of the Lord that "Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain." Jabez knew that every evil thought he conceived would ultimately bring forth pain.

Do yourself – and the world – a tremendous favor by getting the toxins out of your soul.

Ten has been a significant number in all historical ages. This is the number Representing TESTIMONY

10 stands for RESPONSIBILITY or that which requires an expected Response. God gave 10 commandments to man for him to bear the testimony before God and man.

1. This number is made up of the sum of four and six (4 Revelation, 6 Man, 4+6).

2. We can also have double grace (5+5)

3. We also need to see this as the sum of perfection and completion, 3 + 7.

4. Man has 10 digits on his hands and feet.

5. There were 10 patriarch before the flood, Noah being the tenth who found grace in the eyes of God, a preacher of righteousness and a builder of the ark of safety and preservation (Gen 5).

6. There were 10 plagues upon Egypt and Pharaoh during the days of Moses. Our never changing God will release these 10 plagues upon every Egypt and Pharaoh that might be holding you down in Jesus name - Ex 7: 12, and He will cause you to triumph gloriously.

7. Abraham prayed for 10 righteous people within the wicked city of Sodom. He wanted a testimony for God.

You will occupy, no more joblessness, redundancy and wastefulness through God's given grace to OCCUPY - Lk 19: 13,17)

10. Most importantly, ten powers become powerless against the LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. (Romans 8: 38)

"For I am persuaded, that (1) neither death (2) nor life (3) nor angels (4) nor principalities (5) nor powers (6) nor things present (7) not things to come (8) nor height (9) nor depth (10) nor any other creature, shall be ABLE TO SEPARATE us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8: 38-39

Remember the Tithe is a "
10th" of our earnings belonging to God - This day belongs to God and let THE LOVE OF GOD (which is like the shining and burning fire of the Lord) render these
10 powers powerless in your life as you join us in spirit or come in person fasted and ready to pray and praise God with a fresh burning love of God on 10/10/2010 @ 10.00AM @ Vineyard Int'l Christian Ministries.

HOW TO BRING ABOUT ANY CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE

1. Begin to live today in such a way that you're sure to fail unless God helps you. This is constructive faith - it acts solely in immediate obedience on the written Word (Logos) of God received as a Rhema Word.

2. Accept change with an immediacy or urgent faith as a 'Process.' Process is to reality the same as the journey is to the destination! Sometimes we are in love with the destination but we abhor the process.

3. You must accept that Progress is the same coin as Process. The bridge between your dream and reality is a thing called PROCESS! Without process there is no progress!

4. Change comes when we attempt such great things that if God does not help us, we are bound to fail. But how do we know that God will help us? See Song 6:3, the bride says, “Jesus, this is all about YOU!” And Jesus says to the bride, “It’s all about YOU!” It’s this mutual abandonment that is the secret of change and sucess.

5. How do you know you will succeed? Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, provision has been made not only for the forgiveness of your sins, the healing of your body and so on but the freedom for all who believe to be all they can be in this life.

6. The greatest joy in life is being in the will of God and walking boldly in the Authority of a Believer. Walk in authority! It is your blood bought right! Walking in authority especially propels the desired change.

7. Take control of your emotional life in all it's ramification - those things in your lower self that can pull you backward or downwards. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city (Proverbs 16:32). This is true to him or her that is slow to all the other emotional issues - he or she will rule or have dominion in life.

8. Be prepared to go it alone if you badly desire a change in your life and in your lifestyle. A lifestyle of holiness may bring seasons of loneliness but to those that endure, Godly Relationships and God inspired changes will eventually manifest.

9. True or constructive changes demand discerning. Since appearance can be deceitful, accept some roughage and work to bring out the beauty. Remember that diamond is the same charcoal that has undergone great pressure. Without great pressure, nothing can be precious. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. I Sam 16.

10. Accept that True or constructive changes do take time and energy. So be willing to invest time and energy into the process to see real change. One of the founding fathers of the USA told us, "Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste." The same is true with making a change. Constructive changes are not made in a haste. They are deliberate and always demand time as well as manifesting itself in an even pace. But to keep changing from one level of glory to the next is a must or the resultant death (all kinds) is inevitable.

Jesus Turns 6 Waterpots Into 6 Winepots

John 2: 1-11

Vs. 6.: "Now there were set there SIX Waterpots of stone, 'according to the manner of purification of the Jews,' containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece."

1. Normally, the Waterpots were used by the Jews to store water for the ritual of cleansing or purification and that was one of the very major purposes of the Waterpots if not the only use in many cases.

2. Now, there were Six Waterpots of stone and the number 'SIX' is the number of HUMAN - that God made on the sixth day. You are that Waterpot and your transformation and shifting time has arrived. Your assignment is changing and you will never remain the same after now. Your destiny here on Earth in about to be manifested and the rottenness of your past made a history. Praise the Lord.

3. Waterpots were left outside the house to the mercies of the inclement atmospheric conditions, just as many have been left or dropped in life to be dealt with all kinds of inclemency. These Waterpots were marked and only regarded as useful as long as they remain in their house-hold positions for ritualistic cleansing or for the other dirty and low regarded jobs. This is the story of many men and women made in the image of God. Is that your story. Then it is about to be changed forever.

4. Water pots were only handled by servants and steward - the low class of the house-holds and society. They were not regarded as instruments in the company of the renowned, the successful, the achieved and the prospered. But that is about to change and your story from now on would be your inclusiveness in the company of the renowned, the successful, the achieved and the prospered. Praise the Lord.

5. But how did all that change come about? Jesus located those 6 lightly regarded and never appreciated Waterpots. When Jesus locates you, your story must change. On that very particular day, when Jesus arrived at this wedding, He first of all asked His Disciples (the Apostles) that the waterpots be filled with water. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that located the out-door kept Waterpots, has located you in this season. Better believe it.

6. He then thereafter, turned the content of the pots (which is water - that which is tasteless, colorless but life-giving) into wine - that which is tasty, colorful and life-influencing. When Jesus fills you with His water (supplied under the Apostolic mandate), you story must change and therefore your destiny musts be fulfilled here on Earth. The change you desire through the fullness of the Holy Ghost (Water) is easily manifested under a proper and constituted Apostolic Covering. Do you have a proper and constituted Apostolic Covering? This is the secret of change and prosperity.

7. These Waterpots before now never attracted any type of special attention. But now with the Fresh Sweet Wine (The Holy Ghost) as its content, it began to attract special attention and visitations of the noble and sundry. I declare to you that from today your life, family and labor will attract fresh attention of favors and all kinds of blessedness. Amen.

8. These Waterpots were left usually out-doors to the mercy of the weather, despised and unappreciated. I declare to you, in Jesus name, that from today what was despised in you will be in demand. Moreover, what was unappreciated in you will be manifested to such level that God Himself will announce you to the whole world.

9. Just like the Master of the Feast declared that the good was kept in the end, so your end will be more glorious than your beginning - no matter what was your testimony. I declare that you shall live long on this Earth and that very soon every mouth that were speaking evil of you will be speaking praises of you. I declare that the evening of your life shall be more glorious than your morning of life in Jesus Name. Amen.

10. You are that Waterpot. Therefore I declare to you, in the name of Jesus, The Christ of God, even He who turned the Water into Wine, that God has announced that this same Waterpot auction will be changing your status this year 2010. You better receive it and begin to celebrate your elevation in Jesus Name. Amen.

THE FIVE FINGER FAITH RULES:

Beloved:

We have been studying the difference between little faith and great faith. Read the whole passage of Mathew 8 and join us to make these observations that we titled:

THE FIVE FINGER FAITH RULES:

Finger #1. Faith operates on what is in the NOW (what is on hand) - the issues presently confronting us in the NOW. These are issues that demand immediate answers and cannot be postponed and delayed any further. Hebrew 11:1 tells us that, "Now faith is" or in other words, Faith is now". The evidence of Faith is produced in the NOW and is the substance of our present expectation or present hope. Whereas HOPE ordinarily is in the future, faith is in the NOW.

Finger #2. Whereas faith comes by hearing, hope comes from faith. Concrete faith births concrete hope that all we are expecting will surely come to pass. So, it is faith that brings hope to fruition or to a reality.

Finger #3. Hope gives us reason to continue holding on to all of God promises that are not for the NOW but Faith manifests all of God's promises to come to pass in the NOW. I shall see Jesus Christ when this life comes to an end - this is my hope as a Child of God but the Lord has forgiven all my sins right now and has healed me of all my diseases - this is in the now brought about by my faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary. I am healed and being healed now - this is faith. I shall be healed of anything the devil shall try to stick on my body - this is my hope and my expectation.

Finger #4. Faith brings hope to the present and hope brings faith to the future. As long as you have faith, you can never be hopeless. Yet, as long as you have hope, you can never be faithless. Faith is accompanied by works or rather by action. You have to do something to demonstrate your faith. But hope is accompanied by vision. You have to see something or experience something to have hope. You have to experience salvation from sin or the new birth (born-again truly) to have hope of eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Finger #5. Great faith unlike little faith is firmly other-centered. It operates ONLY from LOVE for others and nothing else. But little faith is self-centered - doing with only your affairs and those or things around you. Little faith is the root of all selfishness and self-centeredness. Great faith is rooted in a renewed mind and produces renewed Word that calls the things that be not to become and speaks (acts on) consistently words aligned with God's power and God's love. It's goal is to bring forth the will of God on Earth and the Kingdom of God on Earth.

Prophetic Insight From the Mission Fields of Africa: See Your Future!

The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that My word is fulfilled."—Jeremiah 1:12 (NIV)

There must be a shift in you in order for you to enter into your new season. You are leaving an old season and shifting into a new season. God desires to give you prophetic insight to see your new season.

Like Jeremiah, what are your excuses, "It's too hard! I can't move forward. My past season was too difficult. How can I possibly move forward into a new season? Sure, I want a new season, but promise me first it will be easier!"

But the lord is saying to you: "But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it." —Deuteronomy 30:14 (AMP) The Lord is saying the word of breakthrough for your new season is in your own mouth, in your mind and in your heart so that you can do it! Yes, Beloved, you can do it! Do what? All that He is commanding! Wow, isn't that encouraging?

God is Going to Touch Your Mouths

Child of God, the Lord is stretching forth His hand and touching your mouth and putting His words into your mouths. He is not going to open up doors to our future without His supernatural empowerment. The word touch in this passage implies a supernatural bestowment of divine grace and help. The Lord desires that we have the God kind of faith—which is faith like His!

To move forward into your new season will require that you develop faith for more of His grace as well as faith in His divine empowerment. Both are the two tools to receive what is needed for you to fulfill your future.

The word of the LORD came to me: "What do you see, Jeremiah?"

"I see the branch of an almond tree," he replied.

The LORD said to him, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that My word is fulfilled."—Jeremiah 1:9-12 (NIV)

Jeremiah's Shift

Jeremiah saw what God saw! After imparting grace to his weakness, Jeremiah was able to see his future. Beloved, if we receive His envisioning grace, our eyes will also be open to see what God sees concerning our ability.

Interestingly, Jeremiah was able to see "the branch of an almond tree." Remember, the word used for almond tree is the same Hebrew word, shaqad, which is also the word used for "watching." Shaqad is further translated to imply "the awakening one." The almond tree had blossom cups that are shaped like almonds and are the first to bud forth in its new season. One might say that the almond tree "awakens" to its new season.

Jeremiah was "awakened" to his new season. He received grace to fulfill his divine calling and then was awakened to his future. To become "awakened" means to open our eyes and see. Beloved, receive fresh envisioning grace and become awakened to your new season. There is faith being imparted from Heaven for you to fulfill your destiny.

When the Lord promises to watch over His promises, He is also committing to "protect" what He has promised. This means He will go to war for you and guard your potentials. He promises to give His angels charge over you to protect you and keep us from harm. Just as He provided for Israel a cloud by day and fire by night, He will do the same for you as He leads, guides and protects you.


See Your Future!

Beloved, it's time to see your future. You can fulfill your divine destiny. One of the evil spirits that steals destiny is the Amalekite spirit. It not only aborts destiny, but also targets leaders and those who are called to hold up their arms.

My Prayers for you is that God Almighty would grant you His grace to see: Lord, I lift You up to the Lord and ask that He would touch wherever you feel weak in your life and walk with Him. I declare, "Let the weak say I am strong!" I see God imparting you with supernatural grace that will overcome fear, doubt, loss of vision, physical infirmity and generational strongholds as well as lies and the seductions of Satan. Amen.

Now, My dear Beloved: S - H - I - F - T!

S -ee
H -im
I -nstead of
F -ear and
T -error....

SHIFT - SEE HIM INSTEAD OF FEAR AND TERROR

Our God fights for You! Amen

WATCH OUT FOR YOUR NEXT SEASON !!!

This season calls for safe navigation through the dense milky gray fog ahead. It will not last. Now it may seem like you are in flight and looking out of the window of your aircraft into nothingness. Here's the instruction for this season: summon all your faith in exploiting your instrument (The very Word of God); listen to the directive Voice of the Air Traffic controller (The Holy Ghost) while maintaining a definite clear mental picture of the nature of your landing environmet (Your Next Season) and ultimately of your final destination. Many have lost this mental picture of their final destiny (destination) - the coming New Heaven and New Earth. For the short term, focus on the next season of your life - What mental picture do you have? What are you visioning? I believe that this Season is a set-up by our Father in Heaven for the fulfillment of our purposes here on Earth. Please read again Matthew 19:26 and vigorously continue to operate and work on Matthew 10:20.

Beloved, you can see YOUR NEXT SEASON and know it in the Spirit - exercise your faith. Remember that having the faith of God and seeing into the spirit realm are the KEYS to doing Kingdom exploits here on Earth and prevailing over all the diabolical forces of hell. Moreover, they are essential accessories to our eternal trip to the New Heaven and New Earth about to be soon manifested. Jesus Christ is on His way back to this Earth. But in this Season, begin to SPEAK prophetically into your current situations - no matter what they are - in line with the clear mental picture of your next season. Understanding and seeing your NEXT SEASON births in you a confident expectation of the Result and surely will bring about the soon manifestation of your desires in line with the Will of God. I am fired up about my next season no matter the fogginess of this present season because I believe that my next season depends on me - how I believe and not just what I believe. Remember Matthew 19:26 and Mathew 10:20. What about you - how do you believe?

Write me and let us dialogue. God richly bless you and Maranatha (He is coming soon).

From Today - See, Turn, and Hear Your Way out of Captivity and into the New

Today - Thursday February 18, 2010. Meditate on this write-up:

As I have been praying for you, Beloved, I am receiving a word that the ordeals of the past year are over. You just have to embrace the new season. When Isaiah heard the Lord make the statement and ask the question, Behold, I DO a NEW Thing! Can YOU not SEE or perceive what is new around you? (Isaiah 43:19), the people were in danger of not shifting their sight to SEE their way into their future. They were a people going into captivity, but He was promising them that He would show them their way out at the perfect time. However, they would have to SEE the opening and opportunity to change their identity for the future. This is where you are now. Beloved, In this season, we must see our way out of our past captivities.

We Are Shifting from Hearing to SEEING! In the past, we have heard a "word from behind us telling us which way to go," but now HE will manifest in a way that we have to notice Him, turn and look, and then hear His word telling us which way to go. We have a great example of the time to shift and the pattern for the season ahead when we look at Exodus 3:1-4:

Moses was shepherding the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the west end of the wilderness and came to the mountain of God, Horeb. The angel of GOD appeared to him in flames of fire blazing out of the middle of a bush. He looked. The bush was blazing away but it didn't burn up. Moses said, "What's going on here? I can't believe this! Amazing! Why doesn't the bush burn up?" GOD saw that he had stopped to look. God called to him from out of the bush, "Moses! Moses!" He said, "Yes? I'm right here!" (from The Message).

Beloved, the heavens had changed because of your cry just like the cry of the people of Israel in their slavery had reached His throne room. He responded and remembered His covenant that He had made 400 years prior. His response came in the form of a new manifestation. Moses recognized the new manifestation. This caused him to stop his normal daily activities. He did not just see the manifestation. The word above says that "He stopped to look." He turned from his past and present to "see" his future. When Moses saw, he then heard his calling to advance.

The Key is LETTING GO of the old pains, old way you have dealt with issues, old duties, routines, thought patterns, emotions, relationships and ambitions. Be very careful with your plans for the future and even your plans for your life from here on. Beloved, you must begin to see what God is showing you. When we see, then turn (the same word for change), we will hear transition and be repositioned out of last season's captivities and into next season's freedom. Be willing to see and then say "Here I am."

Meditate on Exodus 2:24-end of the chapter. Read Exodus 3-6.



Friday February 19, 2010. Beloved meditate on this write-up: The Voice of God is Like a GPS Navigator

I used my new GPS to get to get around these days. I was struck by how much God is like this GPS system in my car. First of all, the GPS tells you what to do when you are a short distance from your shifting turn. The voice of the GPS then grows more urgent as you get closer to your needed turn. However, the voice does not give you too much information too far in advance. If you miss the turn to your destination, the GPS recalculates and gives you another way to the destination. Isn't that like God? He forewarns us of how to get to where we need to go. The Spirit then gets stronger when we get close to the perfect timing to shift. Then, even if we 'miss it', He is longsuffering and recalculates our path into victory."

May you see and hear every turn on your path as you press forward. If you miss a turn, may you find grace and find your way.

Memorize Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the [uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more (brighter and clearer) until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day [to be prepared]. (Amplified Bible)

Meditate on Psalm 16. Read 2 Samuel 23, Matthew 5.



Saturday February 20, 2010. Beloved meditate on this write-up: See, Say and Profit, and team up with my Pastoral eyes to reap the blessings of a Seer

When the Lord is doing a new thing, we have an opportunity to leave the old. We see our way from Destructive Workings and Old Cycles in our past and into the new! Our Emotional Instability breaks and we find our footing for the future. The Flesh Rule from the past has to let go as we move into a new Spirit realm in the future. We must leave one season of warfare in the past and move into a new war for the future. This gives us the strength for God to move each of us into the Building Plan for the Future.

You will begin to SEE in a new way but WHAT you SEE you MUST SAY! The Seer Sees and actively announces and pours forth the declarations of God. Ro'eh (the seer) and (c)hozeh (the vision), are used to designate the prophet, both meaning "one who sees," and sometimes rendered "seer." This is a season where the pastor will change drastically. The old way church has been run and the way the sheep have been communicated with will now change. The Pastor will become a seer and the sheep will receive fresh vision from Holy Spirit. The Pastor will be sharing what is being seen and developing key vision.

The Holy Spirit's voice will manifest to direct us in a new way. This will cause you to decree that Jesus is Lord! Holy Spirit will create many different ministries in days ahead. Holy Spirit will create diversities of activities. Holy Spirit will manifest the voice of God in us through prophecy, faith, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, healing, miracles, discerning of spirits, tongues and interpretation of tongues. This will cause poverty in us to break individually and corporately. This will cause us ALL to PROFIT in a new way. Pray that Holy Spirit has His way in your life and in our church gatherings.

Read I Samuel 3. Meditate on I Corinthians 12. Memorize Psalm 23.





Sunday February 21, 2010. Beloved meditate on this write-up: See Your Path and Cycle of Prosperity

As a child there were several Bible passages that many of us were taught. Psalm 23 was one which we memorized and was used for comfort in distress and affliction. However, most of us never realized that this Psalm really says, "I will lead you in your path of prosperity through paths of righteousness for MY name sake."

In Hebrew, the word Path is ‘agol, which means to "be round or a cycle." The Lord guides us in the cycles of righteousness. The enemy hates the thought of us staying on a path of righteousness because he knows that we will SEE the fullness of His plan for our lives. God already has our path of prosperity in place. This path or cycle is linked with the yearly return received from the Feasts of Yahweh. Chag, or festival, means to make a cycle. If we understand the feast, then we understand cycles. We can be led properly, begin to prosper, move into abundance and have no lack. "The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not WANT because He leads me in the cycle of prosperity. I will see My blessings wherever I walk. Even through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I can celebrate Him and not get out of time, and See my blessings!"

Read, memorize and meditate on Psalm 23.



Monday February 22, 2010. Beloved meditate on this write-up: Be Lavish! Follow Hard and Gain Momentum! Celebrating First-fruits Keeps Us SEEKING!

By understanding, celebrating, and giving at Firstfruits each month, you gain momentum in the spirit and eventually God's blessings overtake you. This produces a Kingdom mentality in you. You learn to give your best each month. This is so different than tithing. This concept builds within you the call to SEEK HIS KINGDOM FIRST and then WATCH ALL ELSE BE ADDED.

When we quit seeking Him first, we lose momentum! This is a time to Gain Kingdom Strength and Momentum NOW! Matthew 11:12 says, And from the days of John the Baptist until NOW the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. This was the statement that the Lord made to John the Baptist's disciples. John, who had chosen not to move with Jesus in His three year ministry of revolution, was now imprisoned. During this time, he had begun to question the One whom he had paved the way for to produce the redemption of mankind. Jesus' ministry was gaining momentum and John's ministry was coming to a close.

JESUS had just finished His charge to His twelve disciples and left there to teach and to preach in their Galilean cities. Only Philip and Andrew had left John's wineskin and transferred to keep following the Lord and seeking the Kingdom.

When John heard about the activities of the Lord, he sends some of his remaining disciples to question Jesus by asking in Matthew 11:3-6, Are You the One who was to come, or should we keep on expecting a different one? And Jesus replied to them, Go and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed (by healing) and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up and the poor have good news (the Gospel) preached to them.] And blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is he who takes no offense at Me and finds no cause for stumbling in or through Me and is not hindered from seeing the truth. In other words, believe and SEE what you prophesied in the past manifesting now. Follow hard. Do not get offended and stumble over something that I am doing differently.

The same is with us. This is the time that many prophesies from the past season are manifesting. We must not look away and quit following because they are coming about in ways we did not expect. We must not get offended by the changes coming into our methods, messages and worship structures. We must keep seeking first and not get shaken and lose momentum.

You are in a KINGDOM that cannot be shaken (Hebrews 12:27-28). Unspiritual and carnal MAN cannot understand or SEE this Kingdom. We become carnal when we lose the process of seeking Him first. Jesus taught and imparted an understanding of Kingdom. Kingdom manifestation has a perfect timing.

Read Matthew 11, Luke 11. Memorize Matthew 11:12. Meditate on Proverbs 3:5-12, Hebrews 12:27-28.





Tuesday February 23, 2010. Beloved meditate on this write-up:: Be Swift to Praise! Remove the Mask of Sadness and Turn to Laughter!

Be blessed and filled with the Spirit of God. May you have favor with the Lord and favor with all that are in your path. This is the Month of Adar. The Lord designed time with a built-in blessing for us to claim and walk in. I want to bless you as you enter into the last month of the Hebrew Year. Next month we will fully "Passover" into this season of AYIN. There is great power in blessing. If you will receive the blessing of God each month, the power of the blessing will begin to work in your life and develop your identity. You will eventually go "from blessing to blessing until blessings overtake you."

Be swift to praise! Every month is linked with an understanding of one of the twelve tribes. Each tribe has a redemptive blessing. We are grafted into the blessings of Abraham and his descendants. This is a month linked with the tribe of Naphtali, "a deer (hind) let loose." The blessing of Naphtali included the concept of being swift and the ability to harvest quickly. The crops of the allotted land for this tribe would ripen swiftly. During the war with Sisera under Deborah's leadership, the valiant warriors of Naphtali were nimble, quick and played a leading role in Israel's victory. Naphtali was filled with praise because of the abundance of produce from its tribe's crops. They were more quick and agile than any other tribe and their communication secured Jacob's inheritance. On Galilee's mountains, this troop "brought good tidings" of Jesus (Isaiah 52:7).

One of the best verses to shout out loud this month is, The Lord will make my feet like hinds' feet (Psalm 18:33). We should decree that we will skip and jump on the mountains of the circumstances in our lives. We should decree that our fortunes can increase and become strong. This is the month that joy must increase so we are propelled into a season of deliverance.

Remove the mask of sadness and turn to laughter! This is the month of the sense of laughter, abounding joy, the power of barrenness being broken, the advantage of light over darkness, and witnessing how light and revelation break the power of darkness around us. Decree any curse that has been spoken and set against you will be overturned. Declare the bitter will become sweet. Shout,- "My fear shall laugh!" This is a month to celebrate. Declare deliverance from any deep hidden grief. Ask the Lord for joy and laughter to arise in your emotions. Declare your emotions are healed and restored.

Firstfruits Celebration for Adar: MY FEAR SHALL LAUGH! The FUTURE calls! This is the month of endings and beginnings. One of the reasons I am asking you to fast with us is so we are properly prepared for Passover, which falls in the "first of months." This is also the month of Purim, when the Jews celebrate their deliverance from Haman. After Esther's fast, she gained favor with the king and eventually saw the plans of the enemy turned back upon himself!



Wednesday February 24, 2010. Beloved meditate on this write-up: Do Not FEAR: See Your Promise from God's Perspective!

When the people of Israel decided to move by sight and not faith, the Lord allowed their leaders to go over and view the Promised Land that He had made covenant to give to Abraham's descendants. They saw the abundance, they saw the richness, they saw the development, but they also saw the warfare. The vision of the warfare in the form of giants caused one generation to reject the promise and postpone the manifestation of the blessings that had been offered.

In this season DO NOT LET FEAR win the battle! Fear is a spirit that attaches to our emotion and clouds our thinking process. Fear causes us to withdraw into poverty and a mundane lifestyle. They saw the abundant crops that had been offered but rejected their moment of prosperity. One grapevine's yield was greater than an entire vineyard. DO NOT REJECT the YIELD and INCREASE.

The leaders' confession empowered by fear bred unbelief through the entire nation. They were convinced that the giants were more powerful than they. They saw them from their perspective rather than through the eyes of the One who was giving them the land they ruled. They revealed a fear in their heart. They actually believed God was capable, but they did not believe they were worthy of His miracles and thus rejected their new identity and longed to be slaves again. They preferred returning to captivity. They passed their own sentence (Numbers 14:2), that they would die in the wilderness. They slandered the promise that God had offered and were therefore cursed in the process. They longed for their last season and rejected the new season ahead. This set the course of their undoing. It was 40 years later before this window reopened for them to return (Numbers 14:34). They refused their return to the "Garden" that God had provided for them.

War for the Promise! He has your Garden of Restoration and abundance. Don't be afraid to leave the past season behind. Remove any root of abandonment in you and strengthen your faith to go up against an enemy that appears stronger than you.

Joshua and Caleb responded with a different spirit. Ask the Lord to break vexation from your spirit based upon wrong perception of the war ahead for your blessings.

Read Numbers 14; Deuteronomy 1, 2; Genesis 3. Meditate on 2 Corinthians 10.

ACTIVATING THE TEN BLESSINGS OF GOD IN A TEN DAY FAST

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IS RATHER THE TEN BLESSINGS !!!!

The Exodus 20 Ten Commandments contain all that is necessary, and no more than is necessary, both as to their number and their order, while the Lord's prayer is complete in ten clauses - better interpreting the Ten Commandments as Activating the Ten Blessings of God.

The Lord's Prayer - The Spoken Out 10 Commanded Blessings of God in ten clauses !!!

These clauses have the significance of their respective numbers as in the Original 10 Commandments:—

The first, God's sovereignty - Our God rules over all creation even unseen.
The second, Jehovah's manifested Name - We will use you Name to invoke Your Power.
The third, the realization of God's kingdom - Our Right is to Rule & Reign on Earth.
The fourth first mentions the earth - Our Power to ENFORCE God's Rule on Earth.
The fifth, the gift of grace supplies all our need as we give away the same grace.
The sixth treats of sin - Adultery from God not necessarily sex sin only.
The seventh pleads for spiritual guidance - Which is Guaranteed.

The Tithes - Given to Remind us of these 10 Commanded Blessings

The tithes represent the whole of what was due from man to God, as marking and recognizing God's claim on the whole.

The Redemption Money

The redemption money was ten gerahs, and thus was acknowledged both what God claimed, and what man was responsible to give. Now ten gerahs was half a shekel (Exodus 30:12-16; Numbers 3:47). Every male that was numbered, over 20 years of age, must pay this sum and meet God's claim. *

* When David numbered the people (2Samuel 24 and 1Chronicles 21), this payment was not made and God's claim was not met. Hence the judgment which followed.

But the first-born were to pay ten times as much; for when God took the Levites instead of the first-born of Israel, there were found 22,273 first-born males, but only 22,000 Levites. So that 273 had to pay the ransom money, which amounted to ten times ten gerahs. Thus, though the five shekels looked like a variation, the significance of ten is sustained, for the five shekels were ten times the "half shekel." (See Numbers 3:12,13,40-51).

The Ten Plagues on Egypt was The Ten Wonders to Israel

The ten plagues were representative of the complete circle of God's judgments on Egypt. Exodus 9:14, "I will . . . send all my plagues."



PART B

The TEN I AM'S OF JESUS CHRIST THAT WE WILL PROVE IN THE TEN DAY FAST

"I am the Bread of Life" (6:35) - POWER OVER UNTIMELY DEATH.

"I am the Bread of Life which came down from heaven" (6:41) - REVELATION.

"I am the Living Bread" (6:51) - DIVINE HEALTH AND LIFE OF MIRACLES .

"I am the Light of the world" (8:12) - DEMOLITION OF POWERS OF DARKNESS.

"I am One that bear witness of Myself" (8:18) - JESUS IS ALL YOU NEED.

"I am the Door of the sheep" (10:7,9) - BREAKTHROUGH IS ASSURED.

"I am the Good Shepherd" (10:14) - YOU DESTINY ON EARTH FULFILLED.

"I am the Resurrection and the Life" (14:6) - NOTHING DYING IN YOUR HAND.

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (14:6) - NO DEFEAT BY SIN OR EVIL.

"I am the True Vine" (15:1,5) - CAN'T GO UNDER FOR GOING OVER WITH HIM.



SOMETHING I RECIEVED GOD WILL DO AT THE END OF THESE 10 DAYS:

God moved back the shadow on the sundial of Ahaz of ten degrees as a sign that He was going to deliver Hezekiah from his mortal sickness and the city where he was. (Is 38,1-8).

God is about to produce a miraculous sign and wonder for someone after these 10 Days of waiting that would bring about a real blessing and a God orchestrated and prospered legacy.

Year 2010 is a Year of 10:20

2010 is a Year that Matt. 10:20 will be the very foundation and operating system for our everyday life. From January to December the Very Word of our Mouth - backed with follow-through Acts becomes our Destiny Propeller.

Our Words in particular in this Year will make This 2010 a Year of "Digging New Wells," " A Year of Double Digits for Double Blessing and Restoration," "A Year of Release," and " A Year for breaking forth and Breaking Out." The last year was A Year of preparation - to break forth on every side and ride upon our high places in Jesus name. This Year is a Year of Words based on Matt. 10:20.

Therefore Year 2010 is also a Year of Salivation and Judgement based on our Words and Follow-Up Acts.

We should not be surprised to see Words and Acts of Violence and Peacemaking in Year 2010. We should not be surprised in this Year 2010 to see Words and Acts of Violence and Non-Violence being allowed by God to bring about judgement and salvation of people and nations beginning at the grass-root levels of our local communities.

1. In this Year 2010, we must come to terms that the God of the Bible is a God of both salvation and judgment. We must then be careful with our Words and Acts.

2. But in Year 2010 we must be assured that salvation and judgment are not equal with God. His Salvation forever outweighs His judgment - they are not parallel expressions of His nature. For Scripture called judgment His 'strange work' and called 'salvation' His characteristic work in which He delights.

3. In Jesus we found both salvation and judgment as still uneven by His Words and Acts because of our Words and Acts. That will still be His nature in Year 2010. He reacted to wilful perversity with anger, uttered scathing denunciations upon hypocrites, drove the moneychangers out of the temple and overturned their tables. But He also endured the humiliation and barbarities of flogging and crucifixion without resistance. His Salvation extravagantly and immeasurably outweighs His judgement then and will in 2010.

4. So then, just as we see in the ministry of the same Jesus both violence and non-violence, we still see Him in this Year 2010 operating on both ends to bring about His salvation and judgment.

5. As resorting to violence of word, and deed was occasional, alien, uncharacteristic then to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it will still be so in Year 2010; As His characteristic was non-violence then, we will experience His non-violence power and peacemaking grace keeping us safe throughout this Year 2010 both as individuals and a nation.

In Sum - Never Forget that the symbol of The Ministry of Jesus is not the Whip but the Cross. As long as we are IN Him, we have escaped judgement and entered salvation. Thus, we are able to dig new wells this year that will make us breakout and break-forth in every direction. Praise the Lord.

AS YOU CROSS OVER INTO YEAR 2010 - TRUTH TO LIVE BY AND TO PRACTICE

LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF ZACHARIAS
LUKE 1: 5-25

1. USE SHAMGAR PRINICPLE TO DEAL WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE AND EVER REFUSE TO LET THE IMPOSSIBLE INTIMIDATE YOU.

REMEMBER SHAMGAR PRINCIPLE (LAW) - "DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE WHERE YOU ARE." - JUDGES 3:31.

ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND - JER. 32:27 & MAL. 3:6 AND REMEMBER THE BALANCE MATT. 19:26 AND LUKE 19:26.


2. YOUR FAITH DOES NOT MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN - IT IS RATHER YOUR FAITH IN WHAT YOU SPEAK OR SAY THAT CAUSES THE VERY WORD OF GOD TO MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN.

THEREFORE, KEEP SPEAKING WORDS THAT ALIGN WITH HIS WILL - GOD IS PLANNING AND DOING SOMETHING BEYOND YOUR FAITH - JER. 29:11.


3. GOD DOES NOT NEED YOUR FAITH TO MOVE - HE IS ABSOLUTELY AND ALTOGETHER SOVEREIGN. YOU ONLY NEED TO ANCHOR YOUR FAITH IN HIS WORD (BELIEVE HIM AND BELIEVE HIS PROPHET) TO MOVE HIM TO ACTION.

HENCE, EVEN WHEN YOUR FAITH STOPS WORKING, GOD WILL USE THE ELEMENT CALLED 'TIME' AS LONG AS IN FAITH YOU ARE WAITING ON HIM. (HAB. 2:3)


4. STOP LOOKING BACK AND AROUND. LEARN TO FACE YOUR TOMORROW WITHOUT THE FEARS OF YESTERDAY - MATT. 6: 25-34.


5. MAN MUST COOPERATE WITH GOD BY OBEYING A DIVINE INSTRUCTION TO RECIEVE A MIRACLE. MAGIC ACTS WITHOUT MAN'S WILL OR COOPERATION BUT NOT MIRACLE.

REMEMBER GOD DID NOT BLESS THE LIKES OF ABRAHAM AND ZACHARIAS VIA THEIR REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS BUT BY HIS RESSURECTION POWER WHEN THEY OBEYED AND PERFORMED THE INSTRUCTION ON FRUITFULNESS GIVEN TO THEM.

6. NOTHING CAN STOP YOUR MIRACLE WHEN IT IS DUE. DUE MIRACLE IS SO POWERFUL SUCH THAT YOU MUST REAP YOUR HARVEST IN DUE TIME AND NOTHING CAN CHANGE IT.


7. WHEN ALL APPEAR TO BE TOO LATE - REMEMBER:

A) NEVER FORGET THAT THINGS CAN STILL CHANGE IN A DAY IF YOU DON'T GIVE UP.

B) YOUR DELAY HAS TO DO WITH DIVINE APPOINTMENT IF YOU ARE TRUELY HIS CHILD.

C) YOUR DELAY OFTEN IS THE PATH GOD IS USING TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY.

HENCE, THERE IS AN APPOINTED TIME FOR YOU TO BE HEALED, DELIVERED, RECOVERED, GIVEN AN OPEN DOOR, GET A MASSIVE CATCH ON YOUR NET - AS LONG AS YOU SURRENDER IN BY FAITH IN HOPE.

REJOINDER TO THE LESSONS OF TIGER WOOD'S PAINS

1. Whatever happened to Tiger Wood happened in the past and it is going to happen again in the future. Everyone knows the difference between right and wrong and we know that there are consequences for our actions and inactions. The essence of my last encyclical and this present one is for us to look for possible good that might come out of his tragedy and see a glimmer of light. Perhaps, by reading this encyclicals, others might avoid the same pitfalls and other may gain some hope in forgiveness from God even when folks may never forgive or forget. Like King David of Israel, whose human failure was made open to all, his rebound would be the greatest legacy from this greatest golfer that ever lived.

2. However, we must learn that all sins are equal before God and that we must never judge other people too harshly because we are not without sin. We do not know what we would have done if given the same sets of circumstances as Tiger Wood. The truth is that the spectators are usually the best players. We need to focus on ourselves and on whom we have become. We must move from surviving to thriving as well as move from fault finding to fault bearing. Like King David again, neither Tiger Wood, nor anyone, can fall beyond the reach of God's love and forgiveness. The is the most important lesson of all.

3. It is true that some people take joy in other people's pain and want to feel better than others or better about themselves especially when reading or witnessing such scandals as Tiger's. The truth is that none of us is better than Tiger. Every one of us must do his or her own repenting and equally go through his or her own stages of repentance - the constant replays, the gnawing guilt, the shame and finally the hope a new beginning that springs from true repentance.

4. The fact that God did not exposed our sins or our nakedness to the whole world does not mean that we ought to act as if we are without sin. Sometimes, it is a good thing for God to expose our sins and have us go through the fire as to come forth out of it as tried gold. But all said and done, Tiger Wood by God's mercies will be born again as he accepts the present pains with humility and contrition.

5. We must never forget Bill Clinton and all the attempts to scandalize him. We must never forget that the people who were his loudest critics have all fallen flat on their faces with exactly the same sin and in some cases worse that President Clinton. Some of them have been caught in men's bathroom soliciting men for sex, some on mountain trails with their "soul mate" outside of their marriages, some caught with other peoples' wives, and the list goes on and on.

6. We should focus on getting God to forgive us of our transgressions instead of focusing on someone else's. This is the essence of this encyclical. We must learn to look beyond the pains and failures of others. Rather, we must learn to look for the glory that follows every suffering and the change that follows when any individual have gone through painful processes.

7. We must learn to give room for folks like Tiger Wood to heal and to find restoration with his wife and family. The less attention we give to this incidence, the better the family can deal with their problems and heal from their pain. For Tiger, this too shall pass as he reclaims his place in history and in the heart of humanity.

LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE PAINS OF MR. TIGER WOOD

1. Marriage, family and career are put at risk by two powerful forces of Nature -Infidelity and Greed. Usually these risks are carried out in particularly dumb fashions. Hence, they are usually baffling both to the perpetrators and to the observers. Yet, as baffling as they are, they are conquerable in the battle fields of the mind and no where else. If you can change the way you think, see things and speak about them (inwardly and outwardly), you will change your life and destiny. (Write me on how you can bring about this change on how you think and speak)

2. E-mails? Text messages? Voice mail? Anything digital these days is the modern equivalent of a billboard on Times Square. These are no go paths in modern communication that can bring down any leader and must be used with words that are clear to meaning and godly.

3. You must never do the dirty and more so with women and men for whom, it appears, discretion is not a key part of their value set. The other's value set examination is a test every leader must pass even if it is just the basic appearance test on value set. As a leader or role-model, you must never allow the basic lower self or instinct to override your value judgement of the other person's values.

4. You must realize that you will never be able to get away without scandal and shame if you do the dirty with women or men that have no proven key value system set that includes self-respect, self-decency and integrity over money. The lust for money just like the lust for power can turn any human being into an ugly beast. Men and women can say or do anything for self-enrichment and survival even in the Church - not to talk about in society and in politics.

5. No man or woman should ever fool himself or herself by thinking that they would never get caught in infidelity or greed. Only foolish men and women think they would never be caught with greed or infidelity. Both greed and infidelity are governed by the power of the same lower self or basic instinct and must be resisted with all the grace that God alone can give.

6. Every man or woman must realize that the brain system evolved millions of years ago to drive us to do some of the most important things we do in our lives especially in the realms love and sex. God, in the beginning of Creation said, "be fruitful and multiply" and the brain do find a way to carry out this command.

7. It is equally important to realize that the drive to sow as many seeds as possible, for some men, overrides the front-brain systems that calculate risk and benefit. It is equally important too to realize that once anyone indulges in greed acts or infidelity once, and does not get caught, that makes the risk look smaller and kills the rational fear of getting caught. This is an important lesson.

8. Another very big important lesson for leadership and for life is that once One has gotten used to acts of greed or infidelity, those brain parts get shut down and often get shut down for good. This shut down of the brain begets the internal bravado feeling or hidden celebration that they have been winning (not getting caught) for years. After a lot of winning, they figure they will keep winning. Don't forget how profound the sex drive is. Once in this frame of mind or mentality, sex drive like greed knows no limits and fears no risks.


9. It is not just biblical but the truth: People in lust after the opposite sex are irrational just like people pursuing greed. Both persons are governed by the same power of lust. They believe:

a) This woman or man is special and that they are special too.
b) They are different and smarter.
c) They have a love-trust relationship with the opposite sex.
d) They feel this sense of false security and invincibility.
e) They assume that they know better than any counsel from spouse or friends.
f) They assume that they are not in love/passion and therefore can think clearly.
g) They falsely assume that can think clearly in the cold light of day if they get exposed or caught in the very acts -- but by then, its too late.

10. Many flawed people have come to believe that the risk of getting nabbed either in infidelity or greed really isn't as large as one might think probably because they know other men and women who manage to keep their affairs out of the public eye. So they think that they are in the company of men and women who do get away with it. If this is your mentality, BE AWARE that you will ultimately become blind to the risks of infidelity and greed - thinking that it is never ever going to touch you and that the guy who got caught was just stupid. This is a great hidden DANGER once you open these DOORS.

CONCLUSION: As your Internet Pastor and Counselor, Hear me - I trust this above piece and the experiences of Mr. Tiger Wood would surely put the fear of discovery, if not God, into YOU not just for the next 10 days or so. It is my prayers that everyone reading this piece would never go back to business as usual. Seek counsel or contact our ministry if you are addicted to sex, greed, any deviant behavior or just want to talk to someone. God richly pour out His grace on You. Amen.

THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD - THE CALLING TO SONSHIP UNDER THE APOSTOLIC COVERING

PROV. 17:8; PROV. 18:16; EPH. 4: 1-15.

The term - a Covering - in Hebrew is "Rachaph" - which simply do imply to brood over like a Mother Hen over her chicks in times of danger or when a hen is giving warmth to her chicks in a cold weather or just for comfort. From this, is the outgrowth of our Greek word - Abba and the Compound Latin Word Padre or English Word - 'Father' which has come to mean more than just covering but a Seed Carrier as in Husbandry or Farming.

So in Ephesians Chapter 4 - He that holds all the gifts gave them to His Church through a divined and defined vessels. So in connecting to these God chosen Vessels, I use my human gifts to attract whatever gifts the Holy Spirit has deposited in this particular Chosen Vessel or Apostle or my Covering or Father when I serve him with my human gifts.

How do I use my human gifts to attract the gifts of the Holy Spirit as to attain my destiny here on Earth? The Alter of a Father that eats your SEED shall meet your NEED as you take on the Spirit of the Father or possess the spirit of that Father in your innermost being.

CHRIST JESUS - OUR GREAT EXAMPLE AND THE WAY

A) Twice God spoke from Heaven - This is my Beloved Son - 1) In Whom I am well Pleased and 2) Hear Him. Why????

Because Sonship and Fatherhood are the highest calling on Earth and that is the only way God perpetuates His creation physically and spiritually.

Hence Jesus Christ could say, in John 5:19 - What I see my Father do, I do.

B) The Highest Calling to any member in the Church therefore is Sonship - without which it would be real difficult to fulfill your Destiny on Earth - if you understand and flow in Sonship you would easily fulfill your destiny here on Earth.

C) The most lost person is a Fatherless person or an Orphan and the most non-entity or a person without identify is a Bastard.


THE ACUTE NECCESSITY OF HAVING A SPIRITUAL FATHER OR A SPIRITUAL COVERING

1. In 1 Corinthians 4:15 Paul tells the church that they have many instructors but one father, and that he considers himself their father through the gospel. YOU CANNOT HAVE TWO SPRITUAL FATHERS IN ANY SENSE AS A CHRISTIAN.

2. He also writes to Timothy as his “son”. And many other times he refers to being in “labor of birth” for the churches so that they would come to maturity and understanding.

3. If you are a member of any Church and therefore a son of the very Apostle that speaks into your life on a consistent basis - Then I present to you - Your Spiritual father.

4. But Everyone wants to be a son, but not everyone wants to pay the price. There is a price to pay to be a Son just like there is a price to pay to qualify as a Father.

5. Teachers teach, fathers correct with love and urgency. In other ways, fathers raise children, not clones. There are times when you can hear preachers who learned from other preachers that sound just a like (you could almost guess who they sat under without them telling you). Fathers spur sons (and daughters) on in their gifts and callings and revelations from God.

6. Fathers also bring accountability (as my spiritual father says) so you don't run off and get in a ditch somewhere (meaning a revalational, religious, powerless ditch). Who are you accountable to even when you will not be in Church or keep your obligation?????

7. The words “Father” and “son” are generational words, and the Kingdom is very generational. And for churches in the Kingdom to be generational, there needs to be fathers and sons.

Who is a Son?

a) Someone to carry FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE the name (the vision) OF A FATHER.

b) You are not a Successful Father until you have a Successor Son and you are not a Successor Son unless you can project your Predecessor Father as a Success. You can be a Cross-Over Son or Successor or a Translated Son but not a Successor Son.

c) In other words, your are a Successor Son when even in those transition times like a Spiritual Son, you could take over and keep the momentum going and continue to grow that organization or church of Your Spiritual Father from glory to glory. This is the Highest Calling for anyone in this Church - Just like the Highest Calling for a Daddy here is not just to be Bishop and Founder but to be our Father.

This is the Highest Calling For A Father and For a Son !!!!

Philippians 1:1-11


I.- The Spiritual Son benefits from the Intercession of the Spiritual Covering or Father (vv.3-5).

1.- The Spiritual Son is usually in the Spiritual Father remember of his or her Spiritual Father (v. 3).

2.- The Spiritual Son benefits the prayers of is his or her Spiritual Father.(vv.3, 4).

3.- The Spiritual father/mother pray for the spiritual’ growth of their children(v. 5 a).

II.- The Spiritual father/mother encourages the spiritual growth of his children (v. 6).

1.- The Spiritual father/mother stimulates the faith of their children (v. 6).

2.- The Spiritual father/mother reveals to their children the mystery of the transformation that affects destiny. (v. 6).

“…that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion …”

3.- The Spiritual Son inherits the convictions of Faith of a Father (v. 6).

III.- Just like the Spiritual father does not neglect his responsibility as a father - so also does the son not neglect his or her responsibility (vv.7-11).

1.- The Spiritual gift of a Son is best developed, matured and directed under the Spiritual father. (v. 7).

2.- The Spiritual father demonstrates with their thoughts and acts a legitimate love for their children (v. 8).

3.- The Spiritual father cries out for the Christians life’ growth of their children (v. 9).

4.- The Spiritual father/mother prays for their children’s ability to distinguish the good decisions and necessary fidelity that only comes through Jesus Christ (vv.10, 11).

How You Can Know if you called to a Spiritual Father in This Church !!!

Three gifts in particular distinguish the spiritual father.

The first is insight and discernment (diakrisis), the ability to perceive intuitively the secrets of another’s heart, to understand the hidden depths of which the other is unaware. The spiritual father penetrates beneath the conventional gestures and attitudes whereby we conceal our true personality from others and from ourselves; and beyond all these trivialities, he comes to grips with the unique person made in the image and likeness of God

The second gift of the spiritual father is the ability to love others and to make others’ sufferings his own. Of Abba Poemen, one of the greatest of the Egyptian gerontes, it is briefly and simply recorded: “He possessed love, and many came to him.” [14] He possessed love this is indispensable in all spiritual fatherhood. Unlimited insight into the secrets of men’s hearts, if devoid of loving compassion, would not be creative but destructive; he who cannot love others will have little power to heal them.

A third gift of the spiritual father is the power to transform the human environment, both the material and the non-material. IF YOU CONNECT TO THE ALTER OF A TRUE FATHER - YOU CAN SEE YOUR SEED BECOME A BATTLE SEED AND HIS ALTAR WILL FIGHT FOR YOU AND ALTER EVERY THING THAT IS UP AGAINST YOU. (CHECK YOU BIBLE SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE SPACE TO ELABORATE BUT WILL DO SO IN MY NEXT BLOG)

God richly bless you.

APOSTLE M. JOE OMEOKWE.
