It's a Love Triangle

A love triangle is often looked on as a bad thing but God has his own love triangle that he made for each one of us to enjoy.  If you are missing out on one aspect of this love triangle you will always feel unsatisfied, with an emptiness that does not go away.  However, God has made this triangle open for all.  We just have to walk up and have our fill.  

What I'm I talking about?  There are 3 kinds of love.  Agape - God's kind of love that is unconditional,  Philia - which is brotherly affection that we get from our friends, family and community and Eros - Romantic love.  All 3 meet a different need in one's life.  So if you have have friends who offer philia love and a husband who offers Ero's love, you will still have a deep desire for more love, in this case Agape.  My own need is for Ero's.  I have Agape, I have lots of philia but I am short on Ero's.  Because of that, I have a need for love that I cannot get from God or my friends.  Some people may look at me and say that God's love covers all my need for love but that is not true.  God cannot love me romantically.  He cannot not hug on me, kiss on me or be intimate with me sexually like a mate would.  The thing to realize is that God purposefully made us that way.  

I was talking to God about this emptiness I have that I couldn't at the time put a finger to and he led me to analyze some issues from my past.  I realized that where Ero's love is concerned I had become like Lazarus the poor man who longed for the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table.  The crumbs were all he ever got. He never sat at the table and ate his own portion.  God has laid out buffet tables of love.  Here I was, looking longingly at the Ero's table and only wishing for crumbs, because for some misguided reason I did not think I was good enough to sit at the table and have my fill of Ero's within God's plan and purpose for me.  What a shame!!!

There is a buffet table fully loaded with Agape love for you to enjoy.  Another table has all kinds of philia love just for you to have your fill.  The Ero's table is also heavy laden with all kinds of goodies.  Why sit here until you die?!!  Walk up to the table you have not enjoyed, sit down and claim your portion.  It's there for the taking!!

I am reminded of the story of the man who prepared a feast and sent his servants to go out and invite the guests for whom the feast was prepared.  The guests all had an excuse for why they could not come to the feast.  When the report came back to the man that none of his invited guests were coming to the party, for each had an excuse, he determined that his food would not go to waste.  So he sent out his servants to the highways and the bi-ways to bring in others who were not previously invited to come and enjoy the feast.

None shall take my place at any of the love banqueting tables.  I will take my portion and enjoy it with relish!  So, square your shoulders, take a deep breath and march purposefully to the love table you have been missing out on.  Take your place at the table, it was prepared for you before time begun.  Eat and drink without cost, for Jesus paid the price at Calvary and don't let the devil or anyone else for that matter, hold you back.  

Surrounded By Death!

Everywhere I look I see death these days. If I am not dying to self, I am dying to some desire or other... Or someone I know and love is dying (RIP Dad)... or my friends are hooking up with their significant others and our relationship is dying. Death all round!

Laying Siege

This year has been awesome in many ways, but for sure there are times when nothing has worked like I have wanted it to. The work of my hands has struggled in so many ways, yet God has supplied all my needs and more. Somehow I feel disappointed. A lot of my expectations have not been met. I feel like it has been an upward climb and a hard one at that. Still God has given me favor on all sides and fortitude to keep pushing against the wall that stands in front of me. I am convinced that if I can just break through this invisible wall, I can get to the other side. Which is where I want to be. I have been laying siege all year. Surely my breakthrough is near. May God give me the strength to hang in there until the walls come tumbling down. It is my hour.

It's a Hostile Take Over!!!

I have been going about this the wrong way. I'm sorry ya'll but the marketplace is about a hostile take over. Realize that the land you want is already occupied. Realize that the enemy has already set up camp there and has been there a long time. You cannot ask the powers of darkness to politely make room for you. You cannot make alliances with them. You must take it from them by force! The land you want is already occupied and God knows that. He never told you that he was going to give you a land that is lying fallow just waiting for you to come and take your place. NO!!

Exodus 13:5

When the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites—the land he swore to your forefathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey...

The land of your prosperity, the one that flows with milk and honey that you can't wait to get into is an occupied land. Realize if you want to go into telecoms that Safaricom, Zain, Orange, Telkom Kenya, Essar and the rest are already there. The business you are thinking of going into, the one that God has promised to give to you, exists in a land that is fully occupied by giants!! You have to make up your mind that you will dispossess the giants and take hold of that for which Christ laid a hold of you.

Do you know that the marketplace was God's idea? That he owns the marketplace as surely as he owns the cattle on a thousand hills? Do you know that the devil, knowing that the marketplace was the heart of the city took control of it so that he may take control of the resources of the earth? Wealth is made in the marketplace. The wealth of the wicked is not taking a walk from their camp to yours all by itself. You will not wake up off the prayer mat and be a millionaire. You must work. And the place where work takes place is called the marketplace. The channel that God has ordained for channeling the wealth of the wicked into your hands is called the marketplace. You must wake up in the morning and engage in the marketplace in order to increase in wealth. The Lord wants to channel the resources of the earth into your hands that you may favor his righteous cause and send the gospel all over his green earth.

The devil will not just put the wealth into your hand because you have shown up in the marketplace. It has to be a hostile take over. You must show up in the marketplace, scatter the powers of darkness that govern your industry and then take over by force in the name of Jesus!! Move over devil there's a new sheriff in town!! Take over your industry. Take over in the place where God has placed you. Take the industry by force. Take over the resources in that industry. Take over the business in that industry. Become a monopoly in your own right by the power of the Most High God. Don't let the giants intimidate you. Show up before the throne of God, power up and then go in this might of yours and take over the land. God shall enable you. Worship him today as the Man of War. The Warrior King. Worship him as the one who goes before you to hand over to you the treasures of darkness in secret places. Call God out. Tell him to put on his fighting gear, get on his chariot and ride ahead of you into battle. The good Lord enjoys a good fight!! Put on the full armor of God and go into battle for your industry. It's a hostile take over!!

Laughter as Warfare

Today during my time with the Lord he asked me to laugh at the enemy. I found that very strange initially but soon I was laughing pretty good. Then I found in his word where God laughs at the enemy:

Psalm 2:4

The One enthroned in heaven laughs;

the Lord scoffs at them.

and again:

Psalm 59:8

But you, O LORD, laugh at them;

you scoff at all those nations.

and yet again:

Psalm 37:13

but the Lord laughs at the wicked,

for he knows their day is coming.

God uses laughter as a weapon to put the devil in his place. To remind him that he can do all in his power but in the end he will still fail. One thing we have to understand about the devil is that even when he wins he has still lost because the blood of Jesus can make it all right again and because in the end, he has a reserved place in the lake of fire. What a relief for us who are born again. It does not matter how badly you have sinned or been involved with the enemy, Jesus can wash away your sin, guilt and reproach and make you white as snow. Then safe under the wings of the Lord you can point at the enemy and together with God laugh at him knowing his end.

Don't let the devil intimidate you. When he tries to, you go ahead and laugh at him. Laugh hard and long and let him know that your God is mighty to save and he never sleeps nor slumbers. It is well with your soul. Go on now. Have a good laugh at the devils expense!!

Freedom of the Mind!

This morning I got up to read my Bible and the pages just fell open to Proverbs Chapter 4. My eyes fell on the title "Wisdom is Supreme." I said a prayer and began reading it. Then I heard the Lord say to me "First Worship me, so that your spirit can open up and be receptive to my word." So I began to do that. As I began to worship I began to see the picture of a large spider sitting on the top of my forehead. Its long legs came down to just above my eyes and the rest covered my brain. Clearly it had made its home here and had spread a web all over my brain. My brain was so covered in web, it looked like it was wrapped up in clear nylon wrap.

I immediately began to pray and rebuke that spirit. I prayed for my brain and my mind not fully understanding why this spirit was attacking my mind. After I had prayed, I felt a real physical freedom, like my mind exhaled and was free for the first time in a long time. Then God began to remind me of the vision I had a few years ago where I was taken up to heaven and the Spirit of God lay his hand on my forehead and imparted wisdom to me. This spider spirit had come to ensure that the wisdom God had imparted on me would not be my portion.

As I continued praying for my mind the words "Frontal Lobe" kept coming to mind. First, the Holy Spirit had laid his hand on my forehead where the frontal lobe is located. Secondly, the spider was sitting on this same lobe. So I did a small study on the functions of the frontal lobe and this is what I discovered:

• The front part of frontal lobe is involved in planning, organizing, problem solving, selective attention, personality and a variety of executive functions or “higher cognitive functions” including behavior and emotions
• It is responsible for the enthusiasm and drive, social nerves, behavior, reaction to varying situations, capacity to plan ahead and the occupation of skills in language.
• The executive functions of the frontal lobes involve the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, to choose between good and bad actions (or better and best), override and suppress unacceptable social responses, and determine similarities and differences between things or events. Therefore, it is involved in higher mental functions.
• The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior.
• Front part of the brain; involved in planning, organizing, problem solving, selective attention, personality and a variety of "higher cognitive functions" including behavior and emotions.

With my calling in business these are all the skills I need to become extraordinary in my field. This nasty spirit was inhibiting all that. And guess what? The frontal lobe also has executive function meaning that it acts as a command center for other cognitive (mental) processes. It sends messages and inhibits or overrides others.

The executive functions are often invoked when it is necessary to override responses that might otherwise be automatically elicited by stimuli in the external environment. For example, on being presented with a potentially rewarding stimulus, such as a tasty piece of chocolate cake, a person might have the automatic response to take a bite. However, where such behaviour conflicts with internal plans (such as having decided not to eat chocolate cake while on a diet), the executive functions might be engaged to inhibit that response.

Basically, where naturally you would conform to the image of this world, the executive functions of the frontal lobe kick in so that you don't do what the world expects of you. Instead, you reach into the word of God in your spirit and override the natural instincts so you can do what God would have you do. Transformation, by the renewing of your mind!!!!

Some of those functions include:

1. Those that involve planning or decision making.
2. Those that involve error correction or troubleshooting.
3. Situations where responses are not well-rehearsed or contain novel sequences of actions.
4. Dangerous or technically difficult situations.
5. Situations that require the overcoming of a strong habitual response or resisting temptation

This is everything one has to deal with in business and that I am currently facing. I thank God for a mind that is free to receive his wisdom in every one of these situations. Now I can be an even greater light to my generation. God is awesome!!

Praise Him you his saints!

This word shared by my newly found friend Cathy has really blessed my heart. Romans 4:18 - 22.

"[For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be.(A)

He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah's [deadened] womb.(B)

No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God,

Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.

That is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God)"



One of the main feelings assaulting me in this time of grief has been loneliness. An acute feeling of being all alone in the world. I have prayed to God over and over again about marriage and children in this season. Yet he has not answered in any tangible way. It is wonderful to know that just like me, Abraham had a promise. Yet there was no indication of the fulfillment of the said promise. In fact, everything looked dead. He was impotent and Sara's womb was dead. But he continued to keep his gaze on the Almighty God.He took note of his condition, but chose to dwell on God's ability instead of his own dead state.

BTW whatever God did to get rid of the impotence had long term effects on Abe. In Genesis 25 we read that he took another wife when Isaac was all grown up and Sarah had passed on, and she bore him 6 children. Nothing can beat God's viagra!!

Abraham was empowered by Faith as he gave praise and glory to God. Looking at the greatness of God and the ability of God he was able to have faith that God would do it for him. What a mighty God we serve!

Let us not look at our limitations but see God who is limitless. Nothing can stand in his way. We must keep praising him for who he is, regardless of the situation until he comes and delivers on his promises to us. He is a good God.

Haba na Haba Faith

With Dad in ICU and Mom at the end of her tether I find that my faith is challenged. How do I believe God? What do I believe for? Sometimes it seems like he would be better off with his maker and at other times he looks well enough that we think he will stick around with us for a while. Reading Heb 11 I find myself out of my league. Here are the giants of faith and I can’t even master enough to see God heal my dad. I feel like a faith loser. So I’m wondering, can I use the Haba na Haba approach to faith?

The Swahili saying Haba na Haba hujaza kibaba encourages us to do things in bite sizes in order to achieve a greater objective. What if I believed God for small things step by step? Yesterday dad came off the ventilator and I was so blessed. I celebrated one small victory. What if today I believe God that he will be able to stay awake more and even drink some tea or something else? Isn’t that faith? Then I can believe God that he will breathe without the need for oxygen the next day. And then I can believe for God to get him to a regular ward and so on and so forth. At the end of the day will my faith not have caused the mountain to move?

Most people are overwhelmed in their faith walk, just like I have been, because the level of their faith in certain areas is not quite so developed. Let us take a bite size approach to faith. Haba na Haba utajaza kibaba.

2010 - Wealth Confession

This is the confession I am making every morning for my wealth in 2010. You are welcome to make it your own.

This morning I show up before the throne of God, the Lord of Sabaoth to make a demand on money based on my giving, seeding and sowing into the Kingdom of God. In the name of Jesus I decree that I will never be broke another day in my life. My broke days are over. I curse poverty right now, I curse lack right now, I curse insufficiency forever right now in the name of Jesus Christ. I decree that from now henceforth I walk in supernatural prosperity for the Lord has released an anointing to prosper on my life and wealth has been released to me. I shall prosper because I love the house of the Lord and because I have fallen in love with the agenda of the Lord.

Today I am made whole. Nothing missing, nothing broken. I have continual well being in every area of my life. As I seek God, he is programming the wealth of sinners to follow and seek me out. I give generously, with no fear of running out but with increased faith for running over. Today I place a demand for my money. Today I seek my harvest in the name of Jesus. Let it locate me today, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. I demand my money now in the name of Jesus.

The word of the Lord has come to me saying “You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion…” (2 Cor 9:11) and I have believed the word of the Lord. Therefore I decree: “Money cometh to me right now in Jesus name” God is extending to me the grace of giving that was in Christ Jesus and causing all favor and earthly blessing to abound towards me so that I may always and under all circumstances, whatever the need, be self sufficient. Possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.

God is also providing and multiplying my resources for sowing. My current businesses and job are flourishing and bearing even more fruit and I am getting many new business ideas and the resources to fund them. The Lord by his precious Holy Spirit is showing me where the treasures of darkness are. He is leading and directing me right to them in Jesus name. May the Lord make me 1000 times more numerous than I am today. In Jesus name, amen.

The Power To Get Wealth

Power is the ability to do or act. The capability to accomplish something. It is a great or marked ability to do or act by strength, might or force. Power is also having the legal ability or capacity or authority as in having the power of attorney. In physics, power is gauged in relation to time. It is work done or energy transferred per unit of time. In other words, the time taken to do work is based on the amount of power, might, force or energy exerted. It can also be described as momentum.

Power bows to power. So if one power is overcome by another it must submit itself to that greater power. For every action there is a reaction from an opposing force. This is true in the spirit as well. To enter into your inheritance you must demonstrate a power that is greater than the enemy’s. Pharaoh will not let the people go until the power demonstrated is much greater than his own. Thus the Bible says that God brought Israel out of Egypt with mighty acts of power. You need power to get your inheritance.

Deut 8:18 says that God gives us the power to get wealth. Wealth comes to you depending on the power that is on your side. I talk about wealth a lot. This is because I have understood that wealth is part of the end time agenda. The guy with the money controls issues. Being in a third world country, I hear politicians complaining about the dictates of the West. What do you expect when you are always holding out your begging bowl? There is a war that must be fought in the last days. The battle of Armageddon is a real war that will use military might. Wars are financed by money and it takes billions upon billions to train, equip and support any army. Moreso in a time of war. Ask the United States.

Whether you believe it or not, the enemy is gathering finances to support his end time agenda. He knows his time is short. Unlike us, the devil knows how to count his days and he knows they are coming to an end. He is therefore amassing great wealth to finance his own agenda. Christ also has an end time agenda. He is coming back for his bride and then he also will fight one last battle. Finances are also part of his end time agenda and until now, he has allowed the wicked to pile wealth up for such a time as this. What time is it? It is time for the wicked to hand over the wealth to the righteous. It is time now to plunder the treasuries of hell to finance the Kingdom. God’s will is that all mankind may be saved. Therefore the finances for the Christian end time agenda are to ensure that the great commission is fulfilled.

Now, I do not believe that I can walk over to some sinner and say “Hand over all your money in the Name of Jesus.” They would probably fall on the ground in laughter. What we have to understand is that for everything in the physical there is a spiritual control. So I approach it in the heavenlies and say “Hand over all the wealth you have been piling up in Jesus Name,” and then I follow the words of Samuel the prophet in 1 Sam 10:7

“…do whatever your hand finds to do for God is with you.”

The Power to get wealth is an anointing. It is an anointing that causes wealth creation to become easy. It is a power that the enemy can do nothing but bow down to. It is the anointing spoken of in Isaiah 45:1 – 2 This anointing causes God to:

“…subdue nations before you and loose the armor of kings, to open the double doors so that the gates will not be shut… make the crooked places straight… break in pieces the gates of bronze… cut the bars of iron.” (Italics mine)

That means that God will open the doors. He will make things easy for you. You will not have to do it for yourself for by strength shall no man prevail. The anointing of God upon your life shall go before you so that you can take back the wealth from the wicked.

Isaiah 45:3
“I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places. That you may know that I, the LORD, who call you by name, Am the God of Israel.”

That is what you are going for. You are going for the hidden treasures of the enemy. Great wealth, stored in secret treasuries you know nothing about. But God, the All Knowing God, to whom all silver and gold belongs, knows where it is hidden and is sending YOU to get it back. But God is wonderful, he doesn’t just put you in armor and ask you to go after the dragon. No. He goes before you crashing the enemy, opening every door so that by the time you get there, the gates are wide open. He loosens the armor of kings that are opposed to you so that they have no protection. He causes NATIONS to be subdued before you, so that none can withstand you. Hey!! Jehovah straightens every crooked path, breaks down all barriers so that you have free access to the wealth of the wicked. Ah! Jehovah is God!!! Jehovah is God!!!

And when you come back triumphant, praising the name of the Lord your God, who has called you by name and empowered you to get wealth. Remember its purpose. Isaiah 45:4 “For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect…” Use it for the Kingdom. Bring ease to those in difficulty, set up businesses for those who need it, fight poverty with it and best of all, use it to win souls to the Kingdom of God.

Power, we pray for power. For this anointing to get wealth. This is the season when the wicked hand over their wealth to the righteous in accordance with your word in Ecc 2:26 that you give wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in your sight. But to the sinner you give the work of gathering and collecting that he may give to him who is good before God. They have been gathering and collecting and now we say it loud and clear “Hand over your wealth to the righteousness of God. Those that have been washed by the blood and testify that he is Lord of their lives in Jesus name. That they may use it to glorify the Lord their God. To build his body. A holy tabernacle for our Lord to dwell in.”

I prophesy to the dead bones, the dead businesses, dead finances, dead contracts, dead seeds, dead bank accounts, the empty coffers of the righteous, hear the voice of the Lord and live in Jesus Name. For thus says the Lord God Almighty I will cause my breath, my anointing to come upon you and you shall live. I prophesy to the wind. Come O’ wind of God, from the four corners of the earth. Enter these that they may live to glorify the Lord their God. I hear the sound of rattling in the treasuries of the enemy. The wealth of the Nations, getting ready to pour into your bosom. I hear the rattling of silver, gold, and oil. Hey!! I hear a mighty shaking in the realm of darkness. Be loosed you silver and gold. Be loosed you oil. Be loosed you treasures of the earth, treasures under the earth, treasures of the sea, treasures of the heavens, to come into the coffers of the righteous. The time for your release has come. The end of your groaning has arrived. For the sons of God are revealed in all their glory. The Spirit of the Living God is upon me to proclaim freedom to the captives. I command the coffers of hell to vomit up every treasure they hold in their bellies into the coffers of the living God in Jesus Holy Name. Hey!!! It is done. It is done in the name of Jesus. Get ready for unprecedented favor. Unprecedented victories. Unprecedented acceleration and momentum . Because of the power on your life get ready to create vast amounts of wealth in record time. What has taken others 10 years will take you 10 months in Jesus Name. Get ready for unprecedented power to get wealth. It shall be easy for you. Do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you. He will bless the work of your hands. Money shall locate you. It has been released from the coffers of hell and is even now making its way to you. Align yourself with God’s end time agenda and watch silver and gold rush to you. I announce that your day has changed. The anointing that makes wealth creation easy has come upon your life. In Jesus Name, Amen.

PLUNDERING THE HIDDEN TREASURES OF DARKNESS

The death of Christ at Calvary was a phenomenon that shook hell to its roots. The kingdom of darkness knew that finally all was lost. Everything that they had held on to after the fall was no longer theirs to hold, but God had made a legal way to take back what was rightfully his. This included his people (you and I) and his world. By the death of Christ on the cross, the earth and the whole UNIVERSE was taken back by God. Calvary was so much more than the saving of the souls of men. It put the world to rights again as God had created it.

Isaiah 53:5 says that the chastisement for our peace was upon him. Peace is the Hebrew word shalom meaning “Nothing missing, Nothing broken.” Your life should be filled with all the things that Christ died for you to have and this includes the wealth he created for us to enjoy freely. I was reading Genesis 2 and the Lord said to Adam and Eve in the garden, “of every tree in the garden you may freely eat…” God wants you to freely enjoy what he created for you. There was no lack in Eden. Whatever they had need of they just freely picked and enjoyed. It shall be your portion in this lifetime. Whatever you have need of, take and freely eat in Jesus name.

When the Lord sent Moses to Egypt to get his people he told him on three different occasions to ensure that the Israelites did not leave the Land without gold, silver and articles of clothing. 3 times the Lord said this as clearly as he could.

Exodus 3:21-22
“And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be when you go, that you shall not go empty-handed. But every woman shall ask of her neighbor namely, of her who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”

Exodus 11:2 – 3a
“Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold. And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians…”

Exodus 12: 35-36
“Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold and clothing. And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.”

God wants his children to plunder the wealth of the enemy because wealth is power. If we had all the money we needed to serve the Lord, to do his will, to serve humankind and lead many souls to Christ. How would this world be? Yet God says that is possible. Ask for the Silver. Ask for the Gold. Ask for articles of clothing and God will give you favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Your success will be extra ordinary in the sight of men.

WHEN KINGS GO OFF TO WAR

2 Samuel 11: 1
“…at the time when Kings go off to war…”

There is a season when we must go off to war. War is for many things, but in this season we are going to war to extend our territories. In this season, the devil must let go of everything that pertains to me. If it is bread for the children should we not be sitting at the table eating our fill? What are we doing under the table eating the scraps like Lazarus? We should be feasting at the table. Eating our fill of everything our Father has provided for us. I have determined to go to war in this season for my silver and my gold. If the Lord has made it for me, I shall surely have it and I refuse to be denied.

Everything that God made, including the devil, was made to praise him and to serve him. The devil was the chief worship leader until he thought he could be God. After war was made in heaven he was thrown out of his great position and he took a third of the angels of heaven with him. In that group of loonies were powers, principalities, rulers, thrones and authorities who had taken his side against the Lord of Hosts. All these powers, principalities, rulers, thrones and authorities were in charge of something including silver and gold. They continue to have great authority in the spiritual realm and maneuver things on behalf of the enemy.

When Christ died on Calvary there was a great disarmament in the heavenlies. These guys realized that it was not going to be business as usual. The stewards on the earth, mankind, now had a way to be restored to their great position of rulership and authority on the earth. Things were bad!! Colossians 1:12-23 talks about it. It says that because of Calvary, man was qualified to share in the inheritance of the Kingdom of light. We were to walk in the manifested Kingdom of God here on earth. Not only that, but verse 13 says that we were rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the Kingdom of his son Jesus. The dominion of darkness is oppressive. It takes away your health, wealth, joy, family and so much more. We have been rescued from the dominion of darkness and are now to live and walk in the Kingdom of light, in our spirit, soul, body and in everything that pertains to us.

You own the mansion. What are you doing relegated to the servants quarters while the devil is living in your mansion. What are you doing eating scraps under the table, while the devil sits at the head of your table and eats your food? What is this? You have been rescued from the dominion of darkness. Arise and go to war. Take back what is rightfully yours. Your health, wealth, children saved and sanctified, your marriage happy and full of love, it is all yours. Arise and take it back. It is the season to go to war. Vs 16 tells us that all things were created by Christ and for Christ so that in everything He has the supremacy. Is Christ visibly supreme in your life? Then you are walking victorious for the fullness of God dwells in Christ and Christ dwells in you. That means that the fullness of God dwells in you. Do you understand? Can you see? You have all power, all authority living in you. In the Name of Jesus, every power, principality, ruler, throne and authority that stands before you must step aside. Get up! It is the season for Kings to go to war. No one and nothing can withstand you. Fear is not your portion. Pursue and Conquer, we are taking back everything the devil has been holding on to.

POSSESS BY WAR

The devil will never hand anything to you on a silver platter. Not unless you are Herod and you want the head of John the Baptist. That he can supply. But your good inheritance will have to be wrested from his hand. He is a thief and a liar and if he can find a way to cheat you off of what God has for you, he will do it and laugh at you. It is not your portion. Each one of us has a mandate or a word that God has spoken over our lives. Some are called to dominate the media industry, others business, others to be in the 5 fold ministry. Each one has a calling that they must fulfill. I put it to you that you will have to have a face to face confrontation with the enemy to make it to your place of destiny. You will have to possess by war.

When God told Israel to spy the land that he was giving them, they found that the land was delightful but there were giants there. Your land is not a vacant lot. It is occupied. The giants are there but he who is with you is greater than he that is with them. There is nothing to fear. In that day, the people focused on the giants and feared but Caleb and Joshua had a different testimony. They chose to focus on God and his ability and not in their own strength. As long as you look to your own strength you will faint in the day of adversity.

While the others were having a fit and throwing tantrums, Caleb silenced them in Numbers 13:30 and says “Let us go up at once and take possession for we are well able to overcome it.” No more delays people. Let us stop debating about the giants. Yes, they are there. Yes, of ourselves we have no strength. But if God is for us, who can stand before us?!! Ready yourselves for battle. Let us go and possess this exceedingly good land for we are well able. Your ability to possess the land is not based on you, it is based on God’s ability. Remember that all the fullness of God, including his might, power and authority reside in Christ and Christ dwells in you. You have within you all you need to take possession in your area of calling.

Caleb and Joshua reveal their source of strength and confidence in Numbers 14:7-9 “…if the Lord delights in us, then he will bring us into this land and give it to us… only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” If you are a born again believer walking in obedience then the Lord delights in you. He will bring you into this land and he will give it to you. What land have you been shut out of? Is it marriage? Children? Wealth? Health? What is missing in your life? Engage in battle. The Lord delights in you and he will surely give it to you. Do not be afraid of the giants standing in your way. Do not be afraid of the obstacles that seem insurmountable. God is the one who has the responsibility of bringing you into the land. He will give you step by step instructions on how to wage this way and if you listen and obey him you will be victorious.

As for the giants, they are bread for you. Bread is to be eaten. Devour the enemy. Do not give him a second of respite. Stay alert. Guard your loins with truth. Take up the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit and stand firm. This is your finest hour for victory. You will Possess by War in this season. Ride fearless against the enemy. Full speed ahead into the battle. The Banner over you is Victory. Jehovah Nissi goes ahead of you.

NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER

When you know that your rock is with you and that he will not leave you or forsake you in your time of need, it becomes easier to go full speed ahead into battle. No weapon formed against you will prevail. They shall not prevail. Just keep your eyes on Jesus and fear will not enter your heart. Your enemies shall not route you for God has commanded victory for you from Zion. What a wonderful God we serve. In this season of war, I declare that victory is your portion. You will not retreat and you will not surrender to the enemy in Jesus name.

Ps 78: 7-11 talks about a time when Israel fled from their enemy and gives us insight of why they did it. It starts by encouraging the Israelites to tell the generations of the power and might of God.

“That they may set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments. And may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God. The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They did not keep the covenant of God; they refused to walk in His law, and forgot his works and his wonders that he had shown them.”


It is not your portion. If you are armed and ready for war, you shall not turn back in the day of battle. But shall go on to the fight and victory shall be yours. From this passage I am encouraged to do the following:

• First, I must set my heart aright. I must make up my mind that I am not retreating nor surrendering to the enemy. I am not turning back but will press on to victory in Jesus name.

• Second, I must set my hope in God. I must know and understand clearly that he is the bringer of victory. It is the Lord who will bring me into the land to possess it.

• Third, I must keep in mind the great victories God has won for his people in the past. I can read about them in his word and meditate on past victories he has won for me. This will be an encouragement to me in the process.

• Fourth, I must walk in obedience of every instruction that the Lord gives me. No rebellion or stubbornness in the army of the Lord. If I am willing and obedient I shall eat the good of the land (Isaiah 1:19).

• Fifth, my spirit must be faithful to the Lord. I must be determined to follow him to the end and if I die, I die.

SOUND THE BATTLE CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS

Deut 1:21
“Look, the Lord your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as the Lord God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear or be discouraged.”

Deut 2:24-25,31,36b
“Rise, take your journey, and cross over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, King of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle. This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you… I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land… there was not one city too strong for us, the Lord our God delivered all to us.”

Deut 3:2-3
“And the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to Sihon King of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon. So the Lord our God also delivered into our hands Og King of Bashan, with all his people, and we attacked him until he had no survivors remaining.”

Deut 3:22
“You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.”

Deut 4:37b-38
“… and He brought you out of Egypt with his Presence, with His mighty power, driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, TO BRING YOU IN, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day.”

Wisdom and the Senses

Wisdom! This is one of the most vital things a Christian can have. But not just any Wisdom, it has to be the wisdom that comes from above. James talks about two kinds of Wisdom: The wisdom from above and demonic wisdom. Of demonic wisdom he says:

James 3:14-15
"But if you have bitter envy and self seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic."

The word sensual means of the senses. It is wisdom based on what you are seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting. It is based on your deduction of the situation and not on God's view. It is purely humanistic. 1 +1 = 2 and that's just how it is. This is the kind of math that led to Satan's defeat. He thought to himself, "If I can humiliate the son of God, strip him naked in front of God and the world, beat him to within an inch of his life, then hang him on the cross to die, I will have won." And truly, looking at Jesus on the Cross it would seem that the enemy had won. He looked defeated, he was groaning like a defeated man so he sounded defeated, he smelled of blood and sweat, everything said that he was defeated. Earthly, sensual, demonic wisdom.

The wisdom of God on the other hand said that even in death Victory had come. Even in the beating, healing had come. In Christ bearing my sin, righteousness had come. When he died, the devil thought he had won, until the wisdom of God showed up in hell in the form of Jesus, demanding the keys and setting captives free. The wisdom of God goes beyond what you can see. With this wisdom you can read between the lines, you can see behind the scenes. This is the Wisdom that God wants us to have.

"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy."

That word 'pure' means 'without mixture'. Without contamination. It is God's own wisdom not mixed in with demonic, humanistic wisdom. It is a pure wisdom. So the question becomes, what do I do with my senses? I can still hear, see, feel, smell and taste things. What do I do now? Heb 5:14 is the answer:

"But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil."

Begin to practice discerning by the 5 senses in the spiritual sense. Ask God to cleanse your senses from the earthly, sensual, demonic wisdom they are so used to operating in. Submit your senses to him and you will be surprised at how discernment will begin to come. Walk close to God. Submit your will and mind to him and continually and let him have control of you. With time, your senses will become acute in discernment.

All of a sudden everything will look good but something about the deal will "smell" fishy, or a meeting with a client will leave a bad "taste" in your mouth. You will be praying for someone and have a pain or tingling feeling in a part of your body and God will communicate what the real issue is. Sometimes it will just be a gut feeling, but God will be communicating through discernment, using your senses, what to do next.

May God sanctify my senses. I surrender them wholly to him. I ask Lord that you have your way with me. I give myself to you. Teach me your Wisdom. I love you my Lord and my God.

Prophetic Acts

Prophetic acts are very powerful and are great for rendering the devil powerless in any situation. One thing I have learned from David Oyedepo, founder of Winners Church is that you should always ask God what you are to do in any situation. And whatever he tells you to do, do it.

I have exercised many different prophetic acts by the Spirit of God and seen the results almost immediately. On of those involves a rock I call "Eb." I was in need of clients and had been praying to God for help when I read about Joshua and Samuel setting up a stone as a witness between God and the people. I felt God move me to set up a stone that would be a witness between he and I. That whenever he saw the stone he would come to my aid.

So I ran outside, got a small rock, anointed it with oil and called it Ebenezer "The Lord is my stone of help" and whenever I worked I would put it on my PC and when God saw it he would give me favor and give me the jobs I was bidding for, and I would remember that I am helped. And wouldn't you know it, before long I had more work than I knew what to do with. So much so, that I began to jokingly refer to Eb as the trouble maker, because I couldn't handle it.

Last week I spoke to God about a harvest I needed from my year of giving (2008). He gave me some strange instructions. I could not understand the purpose of the action, but God did and all I had to do was follow his instructions. He told me that when I got to church on Sunday, I was to get an envelope, write on it the amount of money I would give as first fruits when my harvest came in (which I had designated as 50% of my net income) and then during praise and worship dance and wave that envelope to him. When I got to Church on Sunday, we sang all these warfare songs, and I just followed the Lords instructions and waved my envelop in his presence. When we finished praising, I sensed in my spirit that it was done. And the Lord said to me, now loose your harvest. So I loosed it and called in forth in Jesus Name. The Lord reminded me of Matt 12:29

"Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can rob is house."

The Lord revealed to me that as I was singing and praising and waving my envelope. I was binding the strong man, and now I could go in and take my stuff. Isaiah 30:32 says it very well:

"Every stroke the Lord lays on them with his punishing rod will be to the music of tambourines and harps, as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm."

So as we sang and praised with shouts and musical instruments, the Lord was fighting for me and in the end he said to me just call forth your harvest. It is yours. The strong man is bound, now you can spoil his goods. Hallelujah!

Matt 16:19 tells me clearly that "I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Hallelujah! Now all I have to do is wait on my harvest. It is surely coming!

Conquering Hero

Isaiah 63

1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
This One who is glorious in His apparel,
Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—

“ I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2 Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
3 “ I have trodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
4 For the day of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come.

He has come from winning my battles for me. It sounds so "Conquering Hero" and that is exactly what God is to me. I have seen the man of war fighting for me. I am so blessed!

Declaring War

Today I declared war in the heavenlies. I have had it with the devil and his schemes against me. True he comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I have been given authority over every power of the enemy and I am not having his drama anymore. It's on!!!

Words From a Grateful Heart

This psalm says it all! God has been good to me!

Psalm 34

1I WILL bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2My life makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad.

3O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.

4I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.(A)

5They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused.

6This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7[a]The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers.(B)

8O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.(C)

9O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.

10The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing.

11Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord.

12What man is he who desires life and longs for many days, that he may see good?

13Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

14Depart from evil and do good; seek, inquire for, and crave peace and pursue (go after) it!

15The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.

16The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.(D)

17When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles.

18The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent.

19Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

20He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.

21Evil shall cause the death of the wicked; and they who hate the just and righteous shall be held guilty and shall be condemned.

22The Lord redeems the lives of His servants, and none of those who take refuge and trust in Him shall be condemned or held guilty.
