WELCOME TO 2014, A SEASON OF GREAT EXPLOITS AND GREAT FAITH.The year 2014 begins a season of great exploits for the body of Christ, but this willrequire from us great faith. So I encourage the body of Christ to become more bold

than we have ever been before, more focused than we have ever been before, and more daring

than we have ever been before. We have to literally take God at His word and step out in great

faith to accomplish in the world, all that God has predestined for the church in this season. It is

my prayer, that we that know the Lord shall be strong, and do exploits in Jesus name. Amen.

SO GO FORTH AND DO EXPLOITS FOR GOD!!!

Blessings!

It is raining on the just and the unjust I am the Lord that maketh it to rain on all saith theLord.My wind is blowing saith the Lord, to blow My power My might on them that are Mine. The

people will see you and say these are they that are blessed of the Lord.

It is a new and fresh season for My people saith the Lord

I take them into plenty for My purpose and might to demonstrate My power in them.

It is a time of glory and plenty for them that are Mine saith the Lord

I change many things in the lives of people. I put structures and purpose in place saith the Lord

I come in My might and power to destroy the power of the enemy against My people.

I block many things the devil has planned

I remove distractions from your midst saith the Lord

I bring you to a place of glory and might for My name sake

It is well with those who seek Me and are mine

Again, I say, it is a time of plenty and increase.

Come into My fold, into My presence and enjoy the Lord your Father saith the Lord.

Are you prepared to see Him?

Are you prepared for the 2nd coming?

Yeah saith the Lord, they are many who think that they are ready,

and they are prepared but they are not, because they have played with their salva-

tion, and they have played with what I have done on the cross of Calvary.

Nay saith the Spirit of the Lord, examine your heart and see ye whether ye still be

in the faith.

Examine the heart and see if you be in faith.

For many people have departed from the faith saith the Lord, and yet they thinkthat they still are. For they have gone forth to do what they want, not what my

Word says.

What makes one mine? It is that, that stays in my Word, it is that that has made Me

the Lord of their lives, it is that that says, it is not my will but Your will be done

God, it is that has removed their agenda and has made it Mine. It is that one says

the Spirit of God that says, What is it Father that You want me to do? That is the


6/44

the Spirit of God that says, What is it Father that You want me to do? That is the

one that has taken My Word and has truly become My own.

For many, many are called I say, and few are chosen. Many are called, but yes few

are chosen. Why is that? saith God

Is it because I discriminate?

Is it because I dont love all?

Nay saith the Spirit of God. It is not because I discriminate, because I am not a re-

specter of persons, because I love all the same. But because the peoples minds have

turned away from Me saith God. And so many have dressed themselves in My

Word as it were and they deceive the people to say, I am of the Lord, I belong to

Him. Nay says God, they are not. They are not Mine, neither do they belong to

Me, neither do I know them.

And so I summon again a warning unto My people, the body and I say, examine

yourself, examine yourself, examine yourself, whether you be in the faith according

to My Word.

Examine! And they ask, How do I examine myself?

Yea saith the Spirit of the Lord, for my Word is a mirror that you look at saith God,

to examine yourself, whether you be in the faith. For when you take My Word, andyou look at it, and you look at yourself in it, and if there is a place says the Spirit of

God- and there is a place that does not line up with what you see in My Word- in

Me, for I Am my Word, then you know that there is an adjustment that needs to be

made.

And yea saith God, for I am here by my Spirit to help in the adjustment that is to be

made.

For as many that will come to Me and as many as will say, Father, I need Youhere, I need You in this thing, I need You in this place, I will work with. But I do

not force My will on anyone. For I have given you a choice saith the Lord.

I speak to My people, the Church, I have given you a choice, the way you come to

Me you will remain in Me. That you may remain in Me, for you have all that it

takes to remain in Me. For I have empowered you. In you is My Spirit! The Spirit

of Grace that is able even to bring to pass anything that My will is. But many do

not ask My will and many do not seek My face, but they assume and they go forth,

and they do that which they think they know.

Yea saith the Spirit of the Lord, if I am your Lord you God, submit to My will.

If I am the Lord your God, ask what My will is.

If I am the Lord your God, do it my way.

If I am the Lord your God, then bow to Me in everything saith the Spirit of the

Lord.

For yea, you have given Me one side and yet there are many other sections that

they have said, Dont touch this, dont touch this, dont touch this. Nay saith the

Spirit of Grace, nay saith the Spirit of Grace, nay saith the Spirit of Grace, turn it

all over to Me, for I am the Lord your God and I want it all. I want it all! I want it

all! I want you ALL!

All of you I demand saith the Spirit of the Lord. For when you give yourself total-

ly to Me in all that you do saith the Lord God, then, you see, you see My grace and

My favor, and even when things delay, look hard, you know that I am in it with

you. And it is easy, and it is easy to take saith the Lord.

I sound a warning again for I return, and I return soon and I ask the body, My peo-ple, Are you ready to receive me? saith the Lord.

Are you ready to receive Me?



Saith the Spirit of the Lord.

As the year 2013 slips away

and we celebrate the year 2014, I be-

lieve we should spend some time re-

flecting on the relationship we had

with God in the year 2013. What was

the status of our relationship with

Him? If Christ returns or calls us

home today, are we prepared to meet

him?

This is a rhetorical question of course

as only you can answer this honestly.

The book of Psalm 15 asks who canstay in the presence of our God. And

the answer says He who has truth in

his heart. This psalm helps us with

our self-evaluation of our relationship

with Him. Do we really have truth

(God) in our hearts?

The year 2013 no doubt was an interesting

year for some and difficult for others.

However we must give thanks to God for

all he did in 2013. Some of us might ask

why should I give thanks, after all I did

not achieve anything. But you must give

thanks because you have life and hope.

The bible tells us to give thanks in every-

thing, and not to be anxious about any-

thing. It tells us even how to handle situa-

tions that may not have happened as we

wanted. It says to pray with thanksgiving

in making a request to God (Philippians

4:6). So whatever it is that you thought

ought to have manifested in 2013 that did

not, is not a loss. You still have many

years ahead of you. But take that matter

to God in the proper way (prayer and

thanksgiving) and believe that it is done.

God will handle it for you.

In this year 2014, my prayer is that it will be

a better year for us and God will show Him-

self strong to us in Jesus name Amen. How-ever we must learn to trust God with all our

heart and lean not on our own understand-

ing. In all our ways we must acknowledge

Him and He will direct our path (Proverbs

3:5). God will keep us safe from all storms

of life. He will be your shelter in the year

2014 from the storm. It is important to

make God our refuge and hiding place.When the storm strikes, we will not be

moved because we are an everlasting foun-

dation when the wind blows (Proverbs

10:25). In other words, we cannot be de-

stroyed. God will take charge. You may

not be able to predict lifes storm or prevent

them but sometimes you can prepare for

them. The name of the Lord is a strong tow-

er and when the righteous run in they are

safe (Proverbs 18:10). We have to know in

whom our protection is founded.

If you do not have God, you become your

own God (and cannot protect yourself) but

if you have God you can say my God is a

safe place to hide. He is ready to help

when we need him. You have to read the

word daily so that you can have a rich de-

posit of scriptures within you. Colossian

3:16 says to let the word of God dwell in us

richly. If the word dwells in you, you can

make a withdrawal when you need it. God

is an ever present help Psalm 46:1. He is al-

ways there and not only in trouble, but

in good and at all times.

In this year 2014, it behooves us to take

our relationship with Him to another

level, to another dimension. Allow

your hearts to be filled with truth. The

truth of who He is. I guarantee you

based on Gods word that if you allow

Christ to richly dwell in you, you will

have a deeper revelation of God and

success will always be yours in Jesusname. Let this be your goal, starting

this year 2014; allow God to own you

completely and leave no room for the

enemy in Jesus name, amen.

Blessings

In the last publication (I suggest that you read

it again), we ended with the statement that

Proposition 8 did not affect those rights except for the des-

ignation of the term marriage, reserved for only opposite-

sex couples. The court opinion is taken from the Syllabus,

prepared by the Reporter of Decisions, United States Su-

preme Court.

Chief Justice Roberts, in regards to standing, says

that its essence is to prevent the judicial process from be-

ing used to usurp the powers of the political branches.

He continued that when the District court decided Propo-

sition 8 to be unconstitutional and barred the named de-

fendants from enforcement, the respondents ceased to

have injury, so no further redress was necessary. The Peti-

tioners no longer have a personal stake in seeing Propo-

sition 8 enforced, and has no reasonable interest to invoke

the states interest. He added

ficient to confer standing, and

by the state to represent its in

In view of these rea-

sons Chief justice Roberts

leading the majority in a 5-4

decision ruled that the Peti-

tioners have no standing, va-

cating the decisions of the

lower court that entertained

the case, thus clearing the

way for same-sex marriage to

continue in the state of Cali-

fornia. It is important to note

that counter-arguments have

been presented by the Su-

preme Court dissenting mi-

nority in this case where Jus-

tice Kennedy led the minority

arguing that the California

Supreme Court certifying the

Petitioners to represent state

ficers reject. He insists that its Supreme

Court precedents do not require a formal

agency relationship. To that end, the Peti-

tions have standing, for hit is not contin-

gent on office holding.

The majority opinion stated that the

Petitioners lacked standing, while the dis-

senting justices found standing. The issue

here is what now happens to the majority of

Californians who have chosen to live ac-

cording to that doctrine (Truth) that it only

takes a male to mate with a female, for so

has been biblical principles from the begin-

ning, which invariably prescribes that mar-

riage must be between man and wife in holy

matrimony. This is not about religion; this

is about the principle derived from an or-

dered universe that informs man how to

live an ordered life. The ordered Universe

is entrenched in truth to be perfectly func-

tional, otherwise will lack existence. Then a

perfectly functional Universe entrenched in

Truth informs us that only one who is per-

fect, and the ultimate Truth, can generate

it. Such argument has its own implication.

It suggests that if one chooses to live with-

out this doctrine (Truth), the person will also

be free to mate as he pleases, which allows him

to marry whomever or whatever he chooses,

not in accordance to Truth or Universal laws,

neither in accordance to how man should live

nor in accordance with the dictates of the one

who is perfect or the Ultimate Truth. The con-

sequence of going against the knowledge of the

Good which is self-evidential Truth, and which

is demonstrated physically, as well as naturally

in the Universe, is tremendous. It is self-

evident that man is created different from a

woman, and that which is seen tells of that

which is unseen. For the invisible things of

Him from creation of the world are clearly

seen, being understood by the things that are

made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so

that they, are without excuse (Romans 1:20).

It is obvious that the wrath of God is revealed

from Heaven against all ungodliness and un-

righteousness of men, who hold truth in un-

righteousness (v. 18).

The opinion handed down by the Su-

preme Court and the dissenting opinions are

all intellectually sound arguments. The Court

tries its best to interpret the law in the books,

and truly does not want to legislate or usurp

the powers of other arms of government,

though it had before made decisions that

paved the way for the other arms of govern-

ment, such as Brown v. Board of Education,

which stopped separate schools for blacks and

whites to mention but a few. The issue here is

what constitutes a good law? For we see in

Brown v. Board of Education, the opinion of

the court, was of truth, and it changed Ameri-

ca, for blacks and whites are one people of

God, of one human race though of differenti-

ated colors from their maker, God, who loves

variety. The court rejected the popular opin-

ion of men, customs, and restrictions of regu-

lations of state, to find that higher Truth, that

all men, created equal, need to be schooled

together. For there to be one people of the

United States, they must learn to be one, both

in learning and in socializing together. In

view of Brown v. Board of Education, one may

ask whether the decision of the Supreme

Court to strike down DOMA as well as Califor-

nia law that defines marriage to be between

man and wife, while reinstating same-sex

marriage a good law? For we know a good law

must be reasonable, in accordance with the

direction of the laws of the universe, and

must be in accordance with Ultimate Truth,

the one who created all things and set His

laws in place. For the law made by man must

reflect the Law God put in place which re-

flects who He is, Good. Because God is

good, everything that He sets in place from

creation is good. God created man and wom-

an and with that creation set them apart to

be different in many ways but yet same in

some aspects. It is no brainer that one as-

pect in which they are physiologically and

biologically different was done by our marker

in other to serve a very specific purpose. To

turn away from such purposeful creation at

any point will not be wise; and I pray that in

all we get, we will have wisdom.

TO BE CONTINUED.

God Bless!

We are in a time in the body of

Christ where faith is required in order to

realize the call of God, unto great exploits

for the kingdom of God. By great exploits,

I mean outstanding works that cannot be

done by human efforts or might, but by

Gods exceeding grace alone. God has de-

clared prophetically that the year 2014

holds double enrichment and supernaturalincrease for the body of Christ. However,

He sounds a caution of warning that in or-

der to take over territories and to build, we

need Faith to Arise!

If you have observed, there has beenan attack on leadership like no other timein the history of our world. This holds true

for both Christian and secular leadership. Po-litical, social, economic and religious happen-ings have constituted to weaken the vision andfaith of many. Christian leaders continue tocontend for their faith and for the work of Je-sus Christ. This is so because of the effectofHabel in our world. Habel is the He-

brew word for sin caused by the fall of man.What do we say to these things: The promiseof Gods love and abundant grace, and yet theexperience of Habel? I believe that God iscalling His people back to the power of the

cross; to live and lead by it.It is my belief that the cross brought to

man a three-fold restoration of nature, purposeand promise. Restoration of our nature as newcreatures in Christ; Restoration of our purpose aspeople called to execute Gods dominion mandateon the earth (Genesis 1:26 and 28); Restoration

of Gods promise to the redeemed man; as one calledto live in peace, righteousness and joy in the HolyGhost, both now and in the world to come. In allof these, I hear God trumpeting to Christianleaders all over the world with a Message ofempowering the saints to live life in its fullorbed dimension. This He is calling Christianleaders to do, by rising up courageously tofirst conquer their world, and teach others todo so. R. Paul Stevens in his book, DoingGods Business: Meaning and Motivation for theMarketplace defines missions in its full orbeddimension as human vocation/calling. Thisincludes: communion, community-building,developing the potential of creation, improv-ing and embellishing human life, mission andglobal evangelism, the alleviation of povertyand investing in and enriching heaven. Buthow do we do this in the face of Habel? Iagree with R Stevens in his proposition that for

A PURPOSEFUL

APPROACH TO

LEADERSHIP TODAY.

LEDERSORNERthe church to fulfill its mission, Christian leadersmust rise to the urgent need to provide purposefulleadership in the church and in the world; teachingthe full counsel of God, engaging in intercessoryprayer and equipping the saints with a wide rangeof working theology.

One vital disposition that I believe is a must

have for Christian leaders in this dispensation, isthe concept popularly referred to by theologians asthe mixed life. This is so because the concept ofthe mixed life grossly affects our faith, which is akey ingredient in engaging in great works. Themixed life consists of two kinds of life disposi-tions; the contemplative life of Mary and the ac-tive life of Martha.The concept of the mixed lifestems from the account of Jesus visit to Mary andMartha in Luke chapter 10 38:42. The relative dis-position of Mary and Martha to Jesus visit, and Je-sus response to Marthas complaint about Marysinsensitivity to her need for help in the kitchen,which was: Mary has chosen the better part, has ledmany to erroneously conclude that like Mary, sit-ting at Jesus feet all day is the acceptable and onlyrequired actionneeded for a Christian to succeed inlife. On the other hand Marthas disposition, whichtheologians call the active or life, is carnal, notacceptable to God and irrelevant for success.

As a result of this thinking, many Christians

would pray and study their bible all day, butwould not take action or exercise their faith oth-

erwise. Needless to say therefore, that manyChristians are unskilled in the application ofknowledge in many things.

As I reflect on the contemplative life of Mary andthe active life of Martha, I ponder over a few questions.When Jesus said Mary has chosen the better part, didthat imply that Marthas part was not useful? I do notthink so. Did Jesus enjoy a good meal prepared by Mat-ter after such a long session of teaching and conversation

...seang at Jesus feet and

being commied to what the

master has to say, is an atude

for life that every believer must

have.


18/44

with Mary? I am inclined to think so. I am ledto believe that the contemplative lifestyle seating at Jesus feet and being committed towhat the master has to say, is an attitude forlife that every believer must have. On the otherhand, the active life(i.e. our activities, plansand pursuits) must flow out of the conversa-

tion, wisdom and direction that we receivewhile at Jesus feet. So if I may say, the contem-plative life is really a posture of total surrender,dependence on God and a Spirit led life. Ouractivities become born out of Marys attitude;(that one thing that is needed) the contem-plative life. In my opinion, it is not one or theother; it is one then the other. A leader there-fore should endeavor to cultivate the attitude ofthe mixed life in order to have a Holy Spirit ledand active life of faith.

Against this background of a proper appli-

cation of faith in God, lets consider thefollowing points:We must teach the full counsel of

God in its full orbed dimension: As Chris-tian leaders, there is an urgent need for usto give attention to teaching the full counselof Gods word and prayer; equipping thesaints for life and ministry in its full orbeddimension. This means providingknowledge that is not lacking in anything,but relevant for instruction, reproof and

correction in all areas of life and ministry.We must seek to teach people a gospel ofChrist that is well rounded and sufficientfor prosperity in the dimensions of ourspirit, soul and body. By so doing, our de-liverance can be fully realized in the bless-ings of SOZO; a Greek word for salva-tion in the New Testament that means tosave, deliver or protect (literally or figura-

tively); heal, preserve, save (self), do well, bemade or to make whole for the attainment ofshalom, a Hebrew word that means wholeness,well being and harmony-nothing missing andnothing broken.

We must build a deeper, personal rela-tionship with God through His word: Sha-

lom cannot be realized except we fellowshipintimately and daily with God through hiswell rounded word as described above. Wemust embrace this word, in order to build thetype of relationship that gives us power withGod. This is Gods counsel. In all the pro-phetic revelations of Gods supernatural in-crease and great manifestations in this season,the Holy Spirit charges His children to sepa-rate ourselves and seek a deeper, personal re-

lationship with God through His word. Thisis a key that enables us to enjoy Gods promiseof abundant grace, even in the midst of a fall-en world. Victory is guaranteed becauseGods word builds faith that causes us to over-come (John 16:33). There are many things thatwe rarely see and experience today, becausemany Christians are afraid to take risks inobedience to Gods instructions. It is amazingthat we seem to have more saints of old mani-fest such greatness, than we see in the presentday church.

A leader must add to their faithknowledge: As we see in Isaiah 30:15 and Ro-mans 8:14, God has a prescribed pattern,whereby His people must seek Him in allthings; on what we must do, and how wemust do it, at every given time.The undoing of many Christian leaders hasbeen their failing to study to shew thyself ap-proved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be

ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth,

leader therefore should

endeavor to culvate the

atude of the mixed life in order

to have a Holy Spirit led and acve

life of faith.

Victory is guaranteed

because Gods word

builds faith that causes us to

overcome (John 16:33).


19/44

2 Timothy 2:15. Richard Higginson in hisbook, Questions of Business Life: ExploringWorkplace Issues from a Christian Perspectivebelieves that Christian leaders need to equip

their members with a wide range of workingtheology. The predominance of mediocrity inChristian businesses, churches and Christianministries is traceable to a misapplication ofthe principle of faith; the philosophy that

holds faith in an unseen heavenly realm,without focus on contemporary life applica-tion, completely but erroneously relying onsupernatural interventions, and thoroughlylacking in personal responsibility and thecommitment needed to achieve desired re-sults.

Whilst we must not rely on our plan-ning and skills solely,the importance of con-tinuous learning for a believer cannot be

over emphasized. 2 Peter 1:5 exhorts everybeliever to add to their faith knowledge,with the responsibility of leadership to createan environment for growth to flourish. For aleader to successfully apply God given strat-egies, he or she requires knowledge; and theemployment of both spiritual and naturaldisciplines such as, clear vision, articulategoals, proper management of time, diligencein obedience, faith, love, humility, integrity

and discernment to make full proof of thegrace imputed to us by faith through JesusChrist for victorious living.

A Christian must build faith in God

alone: In Galatians 3:11, the bible says: the

just shall live by faith . Hebrews 10:38 does

not only emphasize that the just shall live by

faith, but goes on to say that God will have

no pleasure in anyone who draws back from

faith. It is that serious! In Romans 1:16-17

the bible explains to us that the gospel is the

power of God unto salvation, and in it, is

righteousness revealed from faith to faith.

We cannot increasingly express victorious

faith and do exploits outside a sound, inti-

mate and ever increasing revelation of Gods

word. In one of the earlier articles, we men-

tioned the fact that a leader must develop

skills as is required for his/her assignment

so that he/she can lead effectively. As im-

portant and true as this may be, there is an-

other layer of truth. It is of equal or even

greater importance, that a leader must notshift confidence from God to people, places

or strategies. But in all, a leader must main-

tain confidence in the God of the people, the

God of the places and theGod of the strate-

gies!

As we commit to faith in God through apersonal intimate relationship with God by Hisword, I believe that we will experience Christsvictory in its full orbed dimension in all aspectsof life and Christian ministry, for such a time asthis.Shalom.

First of all, let me start by declaring each of eve-

ry one of you lovely readers a blessed and pur-

posed-filled new year!

I would like to start my write up with this arti-

cle I found on the internet entitled My Busy

Daddy

A man came home from work late, tired and irri-

tated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him

at the door.

SON: Daddy, May I ask you a question?

DAD: Yeah sure, what it is? replied the man.

SON: Daddy, how much do you make an hour?

DAD: Thats none of your business. Why do you

ask such a thing? the man said angrily.

SON: I just want to know. Please tell me, how

much do you make an hour?

DAD: If you must know, I make $50 an hour.

SON: Oh, the little boy

SON: Daddy, may I plea

d that is so you can bor-

to your room and go to

volities.

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the

door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier

about the little boys questions. How dare he ask suchquestions only to get some money? After about an hour

or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy

with that $25.00 and he really didnt ask for money

very often. The man went to the door of the little boys

room and opened the door.

DAD: Are you asleep, son? He asked.

SON: No daddy, Im awake, replied the boy.

DAD: Ive been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you

earlier said the man. Its been a long day and I took

out my aggravation on you. Heres the $25 you asked

for.

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.

SON: Oh, thank you daddy! he yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some

crumpled up bills.

The man seeing that the boy already had money, start-

ed to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out

his money, and then looked up at his father.

Why do you want more money if you already have

some? the father grumbled.

Because I didnt have enough, but now

I do, the little boy replied.

SON: Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I

buy an hour of your time? Please comehome early tomorrow. I would like to

have dinner with you.

The father was crushed. He put his arms

around his little son, and he begged for

his forgiveness. Its just a short remind-

er to all of you working so hard in life.

We should not let time slip through our

fingers without having spent some time

with those who really matter to us,

those close to our hearts. I hope this re-

minds us all of how precious our time is

and that each moment is a blessing

from God, lets use it wisely.

Author: Unknown

This says it all really doesnt it? Iknow todays society is not what it

used to be some generations ago

where parents especially women did

not work long hours or work at all.

(and before you start getting offended;

I am not suggesting that women stay at

home). When I was growing up,

things were so different! Parents hadthe time to invest in their children. In

todays society, one would have to

make time to invest in their children.

Some parents are so overwhelmed that

they cannot even spend time with

their children when it comes to help-

ing them with their homework etc. The

truth of the matter is we have to make

time for these precious ones. In some

homes, where the parents are working

so hard to have the American dream

and (I know that some have to reallywork to make ends meet), what is hap-

pening with their children in the mean-

time. Some parents buy their children

all kinds of toys and nice stuff, think-

ing that will be enough for the child

Yes, parents, they like the gifts (for a

few months or even days) but the truth

of the matter is, they would rather haveyou. Children need both their parents

to be in their lives! Spend time with

them, teach them, show them the way

that they should go.

One must really know God and ask for

His help in this day and age to be able

to balance their lives. Who would have

thought children as little as 6 weeks are

sometimes in a day care for the whole

day? Again, I am not pointing fingers

at anyone. I am just saying to observe

how things have changed over the

years. And like I said in the last edi-

tion; who is looking after your child/

children? I once heard of a story and

this is a true story of a guy who used to

be a truck driver. He would be on the

road for a long time before coming

home. One day, his child asked themum, Mum, who is this man who

comes here sometimes? Needless to say,

the man quit his job. Again, I am not

pointing fingers at anyone. All I am

saying is do what you need to do to

make sure your are spending ample

time with your children. Some will go

to school the whole day, get home, set-

tle down and watch TV for the rest of

the evening then off to bed they go.

And the cycle begins all over the next

day and the next and the next.

You may argue the point that you have

to work to keep a roof over your heads,

feed these same children and clothethem. Trust me, I understand that. I re-

ally do, but on the other hand, we can-

not let others train our children for us.

Am I saying do not work, of course not

by all means work but like we make

time for everything else, let us take the

time to invest in them too. For when

all is said and done,the quality time

that we spend with them goes a long

way to make up for who they grow

up to be in life. There is an adage

that says charity begins at home

and that is just the truth!

Parents, someone is always spend-

ing time with your child, question is

who? I cannot emphasize that

enough please bear with me if I am

repetitive of this fact. Paul said in

the book of Philippians, to writethe same things to you, to me is not

grievous, but for you it is safe

(Philippians 3:1)

Remember, to a child, TIME spells

out LOVE and not necessarily all the

good toys etc. that you get them. So

enjoy the gift/s God has given you.

Spend as much time with them asyou possibly can. Ask the Lord to

help you find creative ways to spend

more ample time with your children

and remember that you can do all

things through Christ who strength-

ens you in Jesus name.

to a child,

s out LOVEssarily all the

that you get

Hi everyone, Welcome to Prayer Corner. For this edition we have a beau

A Man After Gods Own Heart

What does it mean to be a man after Gods heart?It certainly does not mean perfection because David was not a

ways perfect. It is not based on education, because David was a simpshepherd at the time of his anointing as king. It was not because Davcame from the ideal family because he did not.

To be a person after Gods own heart means to be of Gods kindred spirit, someone whom God can use and one in whom God finds special affinity and delight. It is someone who has the heart of a worship

per. It is a person that when confronted with sin, quickly confesses anhumbles himself before God. It is a heart that forgives others with thsame forgiveness received from God. It is a heart that is grieved by thsame things that grieves the heart of God.

To be a man after Gods heart is to become one who accomplishes the purposes of God in his/her generation; a person who understandthat they are called for a task. They know that it is all about God and noabout them. It is to this kind of life that God has called His people and calling His intercessors today. God is looking for more people to come ta place of total commitment in prayer and intercession. God is looking fo

you, YES YOU. And do not say I am not anointed to intercede or I amyet to feel the anointing for intercession. Remember that David waanointed king while just a young man but, a long time elapsed betweeDavids anointing and his actually becoming king. So if you are a boragain Christian, you are already anointed to pray. Begin to be obedient tthat anointing and you will find out that you can pray not just for yoursebut for others as well (which is intercession).

It is important to note that it does not matter the amount of timthat has elapsed from when you became born again to now and you havnot been praying as you ought. The anointing is there in you. As long a

you a person after Gods heart (as identified earlier) you can always rekindle the fire in you. There is a time for everything and a season for everactivity under heaven (Ecclesiastics 3:1). This is your season to becomand remain an intercessor if you have not been one before. It is importanto note that David thougha man after Gods heart, had to deal with manissues in his life which I have categorized here into the following seasons

The Season of Disclosure (Spring)During this period of time, the confrontation between David an

Goliath occurred as found in I Samuel 17. Davids defeat of Goliath anthe Philistines resulted in great victory for Israel. This heroic act mad

David a favorite of the people much to Sauls dismay. Daviddid not trust in his own ability or strength to confront Goliath,but confronted and defeated Goliath by his trust and confi-dence in Jehovah (God) not judging Gods abilities to per-form by what he saw (Goliaths intimidating presence) but byhis knowledge of The Lord God of Host God of Israel.This season was that of disclosure because David had toknow which power he trusted in; God or man. It was also aseason of spring because this knowledge made all thingsnew to the Israelites (they saw David, and God in him likethey never had before). This increased their trust in God.

The Season of Passion (Summer)David found himself from being a shepherd boy to

someone in the service of a king in the palace (I Samuel18). This season for David was of influence, affluence andfavor (I Samuel 18:5). This season is likened to that of sum-mer because it is a season of fruitfulness. David as it were,came into a season of recognition. His passion for thethings of God could not be mistaken. The greatest asset tohave in this season is to be humble and diligent, which Da-vid had, but yet the season bread an enemy in Saul.

The Season of Cave Dwelling (Winter)David experienced this season in his life when

eventually King Saul wanted David killed and made a num-ber of attempts. David was a fugitive for many years (ISamuel 19; 24 and 26) and many of his beautiful prayersand songs of worship were written during this period. Thisseason is likened to that of winter because David was in

hibernation (hiding). The winter seasons are usually a peri-od of no green vegetation, and that of hiding for many ani-mals. In one word, the winter season is usually a difficultseason almost for all living things. Do you identify with thisseason? Your situation may not be like that of David, butyou wonder and feel like why am I here? Be still, trust inthe Lord, stand firm and know t

hatGod is able to deliver you. He can take you fromobscurity to prominence (2 Samuel 2-5).

The Season of Stripping (Fall)

David went through this season in his life time whenAbsalom his son rebelled against him and he had to leavehis palace. He was also humiliated by Shemei (a member ofSauls family) who cursed at him and threw stones at himand his servants (2 Samuel 16:5-13). And again, do youidentify with this season though your situation is not like thatof David? Do you feel humiliated, deserted, betrayed, andyour faith questioned because you dared to believe God andtake a right stand with Him even in the face of adversity ortemptation? Be of good courage for you are never alone,

stand firm and know that this shall pass.

So what has all of these: Davids life and thedifferent seasons got to do with you being after Godsheart and intersession? A lot. It is my belief that David

was able to be called a man after Gods heart becausehe did not waiver on his belief and love for God despitethe different seasons he found himself in. He wasanointed king way before he actually became king, buthe did not forget the anointing that was impacted untohim. He did not allow the hatred of Saul to change whohe was, and become hateful like Saul. David respectedand feared God no matter what, even when he sinned,he was quick to repent. That was why God could per-form all that He did in Davids life. He took him frombeen a shepherd boy to been a great King.

So if you want to be a great anything for God,like David no matter what season you find yourself in,you must be prayerful, faithful, be driven by your loveand reverential fear of God and know fully well that theseasons of your life are not determined by man-madecalendar but by Gods decisions. And even if you madea mistake at some turn in life, God will turn it around foryour good, and the anointing which is resident withinyou will come out to enable you accomplish your Godsgiven purpose, especially in prayer and intercession as

long as you a are person after Gods heart.

Shalom

The Test of a Worshipper Part 2)In the last edition of our publication, we began to examine the life of Abraham as a wor-

shipper. You would remember from the previous edi-

tion that the heart of a true worshipper will always be

tested against the heart of God. What this means is

that in your daily life of worship, there are often going

to be times when situations and circumstances around

you demand of you an un- conventional response.

Those moments when you would need to trade in the

desires of your flesh for a smile on the face of your

Father. They are the moments which call for com-

plete denial of your own self for the presence of the Hismajesty. And by the way, you will notice that those

times are when you are least prepared to handle such

situations. But it has to be those periods when your strength is at the lowest that your

chances of depending completely on Gods ability in you are at the highest.

Let's take a look at a key point in the life of Abraham as he underwent his "test of a wor-shipper."

PRAISE AND WORSHIP CORNER

When Terah, Abraham's father died, Godimmediately initiated his covenant with

Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3). That covenantincluded bringing Abraham to a land ofpromise. Many years had gone by, and

Abraham was yet to come into the landGod promised him. In fact, things got a bitinteresting when Abraham got into an ar-gument with Abimelech's servants who"violently" took away Abraham's well atBeersheba (Genesis 21:25). You may findit ironic that Abraham at the time had thecovenant of a "land where God would showhim" (Genesis 12:1), but he found himselfin a situation where he wasn't even secur-ing a piece of land somewhere, but a wellhe had dug probably to serve as a source of

water for his family and flocks.

You would remember that even at the timeGod called him "the father of nations",

Abraham had no children to reference thepromise, and both he and his wife, Sarah,

were in no shape (biologically speaking) toproduce one. All they had was a prom-ise. One of the tests of a true worshipper isthe consistency in his/her worship whenall you have is a word of promise and eve-rything else around appears just to speakthe opposite of the word you have. Thetruth is that the manifestation of God'spromise to you has little to nothing to do

with where you are currently - geograph-ically, financially, emotionally, etc.), buteverything to do with the word of thepromise and your ability to believe it. The

question is can you still worship whenyou have a million dollar dream butstruggling to pay a cell phone bill to-day? Can you still worship even though30 years has gone by and what youknow God told you is yet to manifest?Can you still worship Him?

Note with me that as soon as Abrahamwas able to arrive at a settlement withAbimelech regarding the well, (Genesis21:22-33), he went right into worship:

"And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name ofthe LORD, the everlasting God(Genesis 21:33).

The test of a true worshipper will de-mand of him/her a high level of con-sistency. One of the most difficultthings to do is fall on your knees, raise

your hands and sing unto the Lord asong declaring His sovereignty while

you are having an unwanted reality oflife starring at you in the face. But youshould remember that this is exactly

what God expects and wants us to do.God is very attracted to the heart of

worship. And when He shows up inyour worship, for He always does intrue worship. His presence becomesthe only reality that matters.

The test of a true worshipper will

demand of him/her a high level of

consistency.

One of the tests of a true worship-

per is the consistency in his/her

worship when all you have is a

word of promise and everything

else around appears just to speak

the opposite of the word you

have.

The beautiful thing about being involved inministry is that you learn something newevery day. Sometimes you learn somethingnew about our loving and powerful God,

and sometimes, you learn about others andthe world around you. Most times, howev-er, you learn new things about yourself. Re-cently, it seems like every Sunday, the ser-mon is a personal mirror for me, bringingmy weaknesses and flaws to light. Alt-hough some people dwell in their shortcom-ings, I choose to use what I learn and makechanges in my lifeand Ive done so for thebetter! After all, what is the point of looking

in the mirror, seeing a flaw and not doinganything about it? Honestly, even withinthe short time Ive made these changes, I amstarting to see significant differences in mylife and those who know me well are seeingit too! Since it has been working for me(and Ive held you in suspense long enough)I thought I would share, just in case some-one out there may need it too!

For as long as I can remember, I have strug-gled with procrastination. No matter howmuch time I had to prepare for something,for some reason I would always put it offuntil the last possible nanosecond. I as-sumed that I would eventually grow out ofit, but in actuality, as Ive gotten older, myprocrastination has gotten worse! Althoughsome people may not see it as a big deal, itreally is! If you procrastinate a lot, you canattest to what Im saying. It is so much of abig deal that even procrastination is in theBible! Dont believe me? Check out Proverbs6:4 which states, Dont put it off; do it now!

Dont rest until you do! (NLT)

You see, procrastination is like stepping inmud. If not cleaned up and taken care ofright away, it is possible to create a bigmess, tracking mud into EVERY aspect ofyour life. It affects people of all ages andcan come with a big price tag...literally. Forexample, have you ever borrowed a book

from a library? It is free to borrow as long asyou bring the book back to the library by thedue date. However, once you bring it back late,even if it is late by one day, there is a fine. Inthis scenario, a procrastinator would say tothemselves, Oh, Ill return it tomorrow. To-

morrow turns into two days, two days turnsinto a week. A week turns into months and be-fore you know it you have heaped enough finesto actually buy the book itself! Does this soundlike you? Lets take it up a notch for those ofyou who are in college. Your professor gives

you a syllabus at the beginning of the semesterso that you know when your exams are andwhen assignments/projects are due. Assum-ing you have an upcoming exam at the end ofthe week, it would be smart to study a little biteach day leading up to the exam. However,

procrastinators wait until the night before theexam to pull an all-nighter to cram. Chancesare higher that the person who studied earlierwould have a better result than the person whowaited until the last possible moment to study.Why? The procrastinator did not use his timewisely to review properly and ask questions onany concept that was unclear. Or even in thecase of submitting an assignment; when turnedin late, you may lose points for every day it is

lateprecious points that could be used as acushion for your grade in case you may havemade errors.

There are so many examples I can give you onthe dangers of procrastination, but the reality ofit is that its is a killer of dreams and opportuni-ties, a waste of precious time and money and itis a sin. James 4:17 states that it is a sin to know

what you ought to do and then do not do

it. Personally and honestly, procrastina-tion has caused me a lot of stress, missedopportunities, and has robbed me of peaceand my finances. However, Im so thank-ful for the Word of God. It has opened myeyes and now I have seen where I haveerred and have made steps towards beinga better person. Nonetheless, as I statedearlier, its one thing to HEAR the Wordbut its another thing to DO somethingabout it (another procrastination theme!)Start making those changes NOW!!! As aformer procrastinator (in Jesus name I amnot anymore), I know that it may be diffi-cult not putting things off as you may beused to, but it is not impossible! You cando it! Ask God for His help whenever youfeel laziness and procrastination creepingin, and He is able to see you through.

There! So now that Ive shared what Ive

2 Corinthians 5:17

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy

priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God

by Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:5

Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the

Lord Jesus Christ.

Corner

We see the principle of the authority of the

spoken word begin to unfold in the very

first chapter of Genesis. And God said, "Letthere be light," and there was light (Genesis

1:3). The phrase, "and God said", God liter-

ally spoke the world into existence.

We know that Abraham understood that

God could speak things into existence. In

Romans 4:17 Paul writes that Abraham was

commended for his faith in that he believed

in God. (As it is written, I have made you a

father of many nations) in the presence of

Him whom he believedGod, who gives lifeto the dead and calls those things which do

not exist as though they did.

God has continued to exercise His authority

over this world. Two thousand years ago,

He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, part of

the triune Godhead, to redeem the world

from the curse of Adam's sin. And who is

Jesus? Jesus is the embodiment of the

Word of God. John described Jesus thisway:

In the beginning was the Word, and the

Word was with God, and the Word was

God. He was with God in the beginning . . .

The Word became flesh and made his

dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,

the glory of the One and Only, who came

from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:1-2&14

God Has Delegated This Authority

We also see in Genesis, chapter one,

that after God, by the authority of His

word, spoke the world into being, He

then delegated that authority to Adam.

In Genesis 1:26 God said, ". . . let them

rule . . . over all the earth ...." By this

transference of power, God gave Adam

the right to literally rule over all the

earth. When God formed the beasts of

the field and birds of the air, He

brought them to Adam to see what he

(Adam) would name them. When Ad-

am named one of the four-legged crea-

tures with a long tail "monkey, lion

etc.," God let the name stand. Why?

Because He had relinquished authority

over the earth to man. (Genesis 2:19-

20). Out of the ground the Lord God

formed every beast of the field and eve-

ry bird of the air, and brought them to

Adam to see what he would call them.

And whatever Adam called each living

creature that was its name. So Adam

gave names to all cattle, to the birds of

the air, and to every beast of the field.

But Adam lost that authority to Satan

through sin. Satan was able to hold on to

that authority because of man's sinful state.

He had full power over earth until Jesus

came and took it back. Paul gives us a

glimpse of the "redemption ceremony" (it

was a ceremony just think about) Colossians

2: 13-15.

And you, being dead in your trespasses and

the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has

made alive together with Him, having for-

given you all trespasses, having wiped out

the handwriting of requirements that was

against us, which was contrary to us. And

He has taken it out of the way, having nailed

it to the cross.Having disarmed principali-

ties and powers, He made a public spectacle

of them, triumphing over them in it.

He (God) forgave us all our sins . . . He took

it away, nailing it to the cross. And (Jesus)

having disarmed the powers and authorities

(satanic kingdom) he made a public specta-

cle of them, triumphing over them by the

cross.

So Jesus has regained that authority for

those of us who are born-again. Thus, God,

through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, has

restored that line of authority between Ad-

am and every believer. Authority to do

what? To use the spoken word to rule over

the world just as Adam did before his fall.

But what is the purpose of that authority? Is

it to rule over all the earth just for our self-

ish and personal benefit? No, not at all.

God delegated His authority on earth to us

so that we can use that authority to spread

the Gospel and to accomplish His purposesin every generation. And this is one of our

most powerful tools in that realm of authori-

ty? It is the same tool God used to create

the world, the spoken word! We are to rule

by our (Gods) words spoken about us.

Look at Jesus' words to His disciples:

"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this

mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,'

and does not doubt in his heart but believes

that what he says will happen, it will be done

for him." Mark 11:23

"If you believe you will receive whatever youask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22

"Ask and it will be given to you . . ." Matthew

7:7

We need to recognize our authority in the

spirit realm! Which is the same authority to

live by in this world. We need to meditate

on it. Then we need to act on it. Scripture is

full of statements that tell us of the power of

our words.

Solomon, the wisest of all men in his time,

tells us, "Where the word of a king is, there

is power . . ." Ecclesiastics 8:4 (I love this

one). Also remember, that Proverbs 18:21

says:

"The tongue has the power of life and death,

and those who love it will eat its fruit.

The bible says with great power the apostles

continued to testify to the resurrection ofthe Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon

them all (Acts 4:33). The power of their

words brought forth many miracles, sings

healings, deliverance and many were lead to

the Lord.

Yes, words do indeed have great power.

Know and use your authority.
